mad god's *Cosmic Forge* Editor for Wizardry 6, Wizardry 7 and Wizardry 8
*宇宙炉*
The site is gradually moving to this place!So consider updating your links.
General Features
- Does not work without game installed on your machine. Requires game files only, so it is not necessary to be able to launch the game itself. (You can
download Wizardry 7 DOS version from the main page of this site. You need to download the game in two parts: binaries and sound&graphics).
- Uses mostly pictures & icons from the game data files to make interface more "alive".
- Uses mostly terms and strings directly from the game.
- Uses "heavily based on dialogs" interface which is not so comfortable, but more easy (and less time consuming) to implement.
- Almost in all lists throughout the dialogs you can use double-click to view particular entity from that list.
- Almost every image can be saved as BMP file or placed to clipboard for future use (right-click on the picture to invoke menu).
- Introduces Item List with sortable columns and filtering capabilities. Now you can see what items
you particular character can use or wear.
- Introduces Monster List with sortable columns. Now you can caompare monster by various parameters.
