The best is taken from the Party. The Mapping Kit requirement is replaced by the requirement to have some paper (any Scroll or Book will do).

  • General: Fixed the problem appeared in 4.17 when executables weren't recognized by Windows XP.

  • General: Added "Ask confirmation when saving changes by 'Ctrl+S'." option to the Setup->Settings. Default is 'TRUE'.

  • General: Introduced the delayed load for 'FreeImage.dll'. It means that the dll is not required to run the Editor. For editing W8 though you would still need the 'FreeImage.dll' if you want to use certain image-managing features of the Editor.

  • General: Introduced the delayed load for 'd3d9.dll'. It means that the DirectX 9 is not required to be installed to run the Editor. For editing W8 though you would still need the DirectX 9 to be installed if you want to view/manipulate the 3D content while using the DirectX 9 rendering pipeline.

  • General: Introduced the delayed load for 'd3dx9_43.dll'. It means that the DirectX 9 re-distributables are not required to be installed to run the Editor. For editing W8 though you would still need the re-distributables to be installed if you want to view/manipulate the 3D content. Note that the Editor would likely to crash if the re-distributables are not installed but is tried to be used (only a concern when editing W8).

  • General: Introduced the delayed load for 'OpenGL32.dll'. It means that the OpenGL32.dll is not required to be on your computer to run the Editor. For editing W8 though you would still need the OpenGL32.dll to be present on your computer if you want to view/manipulate the 3D content while using the OpenGL rendering pipeline. Note that the Editor would likely to crash if the OpenGL32.dll is not present but is tried to be used (only a concern when editing W8).

  • General: Introduced the delayed load for 'glu32.dll'. It means that the glu32.dll is not required to be on your computer to run the Editor. For editing W8 though you would still need the glu32.dll to be present on your computer if you want to view/manipulate the 3D content while using the OpenGL rendering pipeline. Note that the Editor would likely to crash if the glu32.dll is not present but is tried to be used (only a concern when editing W8).

  • W6/W7: Save File Viewer: Fixed the dialog flickering when switching between characters.

  • W7: Save File World Viewer: Introducing Auto-map which acts like in-game Journey Map Kit. If the Party does not have an item that can be used as a Map Kit the Auto-map is not displayed. The highest 'Mapping' skill in the Party is used. Extra info (which is not displayed in-game) is shown when 'Mapping' skill is very high (90+ and 100). Auto-map is disabled for W6 because W6 does not have auto-map concept and does not store the information about visited cells and does not have 'Mapping' skill. 'View Party on the Map' functionality is still available for W6.

  • W7: Map Editor: Sorted out some Display Feature confusion. 'Burned Eggs' display feature is now fully available. 'Hole' feature is fully available. 'Pushed Secret Button' feature does not exist.

  • W8: Agent: Fixed the problem appeared in 4.17 where CFAgent was crashing the Game.

  • W8: NPC Editor: Script Command '24' is actually 'PC Quote' Command as it was discovered by Wingard.

  • W8: Item Editor: Added check for the Item's image names that are too long.

 

18, July, 2014

  • General: Version has been changed to 4.17

  • General: Visual Studio 2012 is now used for building the Editor binaries. Some new bugs might creep in because of this and dependence on different DirectX binaries is introduced.

  • General: DirectX 9 re-distributables from June 2010 are now required. If you have the latest DirectX installed on your computer you probably don't have to do anything. If you have an 'd3dx9_43.dll'-related error while trying to launch the Editor then: 1. go to Microsoft site and find 'DirectX end-user runtime June 2010'. 2. Download the executable and run it. 3. It will unpack files to a temporary folder you specify (create C:\dxtemp, for instance). 4. Go to this temporary folder and run dxsetup.exe. 5. Delete the temporary folder when finished.

Before the Editor...

 

Was a Viewer called "Wizardry VII Viewer"... It is no longer available as a binary.

Here is the short history of the Viewer Development.

​

Date Unknown

  • Version 1.1.1

  • Save Files Viewer Dialog: Added Character's vs NPCs dialog which displays NPCs' attitude to character (though I am not sure how to use it :) )

  • Save Files Viewer Dialog: Added World View dialog. Displays party location, locations of all dropped items, relationships with different alliances and items currently possessed by NPCs.

  • Save Files Viewer Dialog: It is possible to view locations of the Locations Map Dialog.

  • Locations Map Dialog: Displays party and items on a small map.

  • Locations Map Dialog: Clicking on the 'item' symbol will invoke the list of all items that lie on clicked map cell.

  • Monster Viewer: Fixed monster loot part. At least I understood the meaning of some item entries in the loot tables.

 

Date Unknown

  • Version 1.1

  • General: Added possibility to save bitmaps as files. Just right-click on the image to invoke the menu.

  • General: Double-click on any Item in the any Loot List will invoke Item Viewer dialog which selects specified item.

  • General: Main dialog now do not closes when Enter pressed. Appropriate Viewer dialog invoked instead.

  • General: Found a bug: In Win98 most of the 'helper buttons' (those with '?' picture) did not worked. Fixed. Now you can read my opinion on several things.

  • Added Picture Viewer Dialog.

  • Picture Viewer Dialog: Allows to view the frames of all *.PIC files in Wizardry directory.

  • Picture Viewer Dialog: Allows to save all frames of one *.PIC file as bitmap files by one command (Save All).

  • Picture Viewer Dialog: Allows to scroll frames by mouse roller (when user input focus not at *.PIC combo-box).

  • Item Viewer dialog: Added Weapon Initiative Modifier to Item Viewer, though I doubt of it.

  • Item Viewer dialog: Item Viewer dialog become slightly smaller to suit 800x600.

  • Item Viewer dialog: Discovered a bug in Wizardry (at least in DOS version, have not tried GOLD). Every weapon except for the few ones that deal double damage to certain creatures (Dragon Slayer, Staff pro Undead, etc.) deals double damage to FIGHTER type creatures! This is because the FIGHTER type has an ID of 0 and most of the items has double damage property of 0 too! They should have assigned 0x0F to double damage byte, since there are no monsters in game with the type ID of 0x0F or greater than 0x1B. Reflected that fact in Double Damage Note in the dialog.

  • Map Viewer dialog: Map Viewer dialog become resize-able and its initial/minimum size now suits 800x600.

  • Map Viewer dialog: Fixed bug with small GDI resources leak.

  • Map Properties: Map Properties dialog became smaller to suit 800x600.

  • Map Properties: Terrain picture has been added to dialog (it was forgotten in previous version :) )

  • Item List: Item List dialog became smaller to suit 800x600 and still resize-able.

  • Item List: Double click on any item will invoke Item Viewer dialog which selects specified item.

  • Item List: You can select any number of items and put them into clipboard in tab-delimited format pushing Ctrl+C. It won't copy the icons, only text!

  • Item List: Weapon Initiative Modifier has been added to column set.

  • Item List: Fixed small bug with list control placement.

  • Monster Viewer: If resolution is smaller or equal 800x600 special wrapper will be invoked for Monster Viewer dialog to support scrolling. That allows to view dialog "normally" under 800x600.

  • Monster Viewer: A comment "Initiative" has been added to Monster Speed Factor.

  • Monster Viewer: Swings per Attack and Attacks per Round were changed with each other (mixed up). I.e. instead of 1 Attack/Round and 3 Swings/Attack dialog displayed 3 Attacks/Round and 1 Swing/Attack. Now fixed.

  • Added Save File Viewer.

  • Save File Viewer: Allows to view characters in save files.

  • Save File Viewer: Still has some information that is unknown to me.

  • Save File Viewer: Allows to scroll characters by mouse roller (when user input focus not at scrollable controls).

  • Save File Viewer: Viewing DOS saves while Viewer tuned to use GOLD installation directory (and vice versa) will mix up character portraits, but other info will remain correct.

  • Save File Viewer: Added Character vs Profession dialog. I assume it can help to develop characters.

  • Save File Viewer: Added Character's Items dialog. Double-clicking on item will invoke Item Viewer dialog (only if item is known to your characters).

 

Date Unknown

  • Version 1.0

  • Created Item Viewer.

  • Created Monster Viewer.

  • Created Map Viewer.

  • Created Item List.
