Was it helpful (Y/N/KC)?

Thanks but it did not fix my problems. I already had .Net 4.5.1 installed. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled a fresh copy from MS, the same error still occurs when I try to run the wiz8+.exe

Have you tried uninstalling it and running without to see if it's even the culprit?

I own the old pre-patch potato version (the one that needed the patch to be beatable because polish fonts), so I won't necessarily be able to find the right solution.

Ok, I will try running it without .Net in a second.

I used to own the Potato CD version, the same as you, but it got lost when I was moving and shit.

Edit: Nope, running it without .Net changes nothing, still the same error when I try to run wiz8+.exe so .Net is not the issue here.

Ok, so you can at least strike this one thing out.

I've been staying busy with other games and checking on this thread every once in a while.

What's the overall status on this so far. I see you have version 0.9 in the OP. Does that mean you are getting close to your first numbered release of this mod?

 

[WaltC333]

The link in the OP contains the newest released version.

.90 Working for for me in Win10--all builds so far. No conflicts with .NET whatever. Now on build 10130--built an .iso from the .esd's Microsoft released. Thanks for all of your work, K. I've been keeping up here for the last year or two and checking in regularly. Looking forward to the 1.0 version...Wiz8 is one of those games with a unique sort of charm all its own...Glad to see someone still working with it!

I'm playing the latest version on Win7 right now.

Planning to do a complete play through and will post any bugs I find.

So far:

1. Game likes to crash during area transitions, but not very often (had like 5 crashes and I did Monastery, Arnika, first few Umpani quests and about half of Trynton). Also, it's the first time I'm running Wiz8 on this machine so don't even know if that's mod related at all. Apart from that this build seems actually more stable than vanilla, where I always had frequent crashes when quick loading.
2. There are quite a lot cropping issues with the weapon icons in the inventory and on the sidebars in the main view, this doesn't concern only new icons, but some old ones as well (for example enchanted katana for my samurai).

Personal notes:

1. All the new icons added in the initial builds were really great, but some of the new ones... aren't. For example some of the new mace icons: flail, stun mace. Looks really our of place, especially compared to the rest of the new content.
2. Please do make all the class changes an optional component, preferably individual for each class.

After running all over Mt Gigas power station with detect secret I still could not find the x-ray chip. Was it added for sure? Also, I found a second Ptorch in the unexplored section of mt gigas caves, in one of the water pit you jump into and then have to climb out using a rope. So back to the same problem as last version, 2 Ptorches and no chip. :p

Was this issue ever fixed. I've explored entirety of Mt.Gigas except for colonel's quarters and no x-ray chip. There wasn't second ptorch in caves either, though. I need that x-ray scanner, goddammit! Is there any way to add it via cheats or smth?

Any chances on getting the 7z file of the latest version of the mod any time soon? I'm also getting a "Floating Point Division By Zero" error when I used the installer

Get access to a PC with Win7 or later where the installers background pic should not lead to a crash when you run it,
extract the archive there e.g. to a thumb drive, from where you can transfer it to your own PC.

Bump just because it's well deserved.

 

[aweigh]

if i found vanilla hard to be "normal" should i also play on hard when using this mod? or should i play in normal difficulty?

 

[TigerKnee]

I don't think adjusting difficulty happened in this mod yet so it should be same as Vanilla in that department

 

[moraes]

The only thing that should affect difficulty albeit in a negligible degree is the slight upgrade to direct damage spells.

 

[Poseidon]

Any development still going on? I've been observing the thread for over a year, waiting for a release that is maybe a bit more ironed out. I finally succumbed to registering, seeing the the lack of activity in the last few months

 

[Kaucukovnik]

Hell yeah! For a long time there was nothing of immediate interest to post about, but I'm currently in the process of exporting the dwarven city from Blender into the game. Here are some screenshots:

Spoiler

Right now I need to import remaining geometry, about 13k triangles out of 100k, but mostly small things so it's pretty tedious. Then finish lighting, model appropriate light sources and import them and the area will be ready for finally adding some gameplay.

This means more than one person will be able to work on the mod, so I'll try to recruit somebody. That someone could start working on NPCs and quests, while I model the next area. Since I gave up on game graphics as source of income and decided to keep it an untainted hobby, I'll be dedicating more time to Wizardry 8.

I'll edit the first post to add details and a downloadable preview of this new area.

 

[Kaucukovnik]

Okay, updated the thread OP.

Test version download
Unpack the content of the archive in your Wizardry 8 clean install Levels subdirectory, start a new game, turn around and walk into the waterfall.

There are gaps, not all textures are in yet and lighting is far from finished. But I'm just so happy I can finally walk around there and hear my footsteps' echo in the caverns, i had to share.

Might as well tag some people... townltu , DraQ , Shadenuat , Poseidon

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Wow, thought this died. Glad I was wrong.

 

[WaltC333]

Super!

The town is more or less finished, and the mining area underneath has been added. It's kind of a speed map, took only six days, but it has a lot less detail and bigger polygons all over the place. Still not completely happy with the maps, but I'm leaving them as they are for now, you can walk around them or try to add some gameplay to them. If you are interested, I can supply you with some ideas and plot hooks of mine, as well as model additional stuff people may come up with.

Here are the files:

Again, unpack in your Wiz8\Levels directory and walk into the waterfall behind you right at the start of the game. I suggest picking only Sslar for your party to walk around, the new area is rather large and physically lesser beings get tired quickly.

Does this mod incorporate faster movement or do I need to use wizfast for that?

Hey Kaucukovnik, I found something.
I tried combining two daggers and got this new neat feature- http://i.imgur.com/2w7YgYp.png

About Trynton- would it be possible to change the number of trynnies in trynnie patrols to, say, 3 max?

What new feature? All I see is grass and a space.

 

[Black]

Fuck me, posted wrong pic. I combined 2 regular daggers and instead of getting a doublestrike dagger I got one that's not usable by anyone.
