Universal Game Editor Module for Wizardry Gold Created by D. Melanson using Hartman Game Utilities' UGE v 1.0 Wizardry Gold, a.k.a. the updated version of Crusaders of the Dark Savant. Another 1st-person perspective game filled with classes, races, monsters, quests, and treasures. And, once again, you may have a little trouble avoiding dying when attacked by monsters who just pop out of nowhere...so, once again, through trial and error (mostly error), I've devised an editor module for Jack Hartman's Universal Game Editor that can even the odds...and even greatly tip them in your favor. For those of you unfamiliar with my previous work (for shame!) this is now the 22nd module I've created for U.G.E. I do not charge any registration fee for these modules...they're freeware, as far as I'm concerned. However, I DO ask that if you use my modules, please register UGE with Jack Hartman (jhartman@ix.netcom.com) Other modules include ones for Stonekeep, Anvil of Dawn, Might & Magic III, IV, V, Swords of Xeen, Heroes of Might & Magic, Front Page Sports Football (93 version only), Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession and Stone Prophet, Druid: Daemons Of The Mind, and several others as well... Now then, let's get down to business: I.> Okay, I've downloaded and unzipped the files. Where do I put them and how do I set them up in UGE? First, make sure you have the base UGE program (available as UGE10.ZIP from various Websites out there). Unzip that into a directory (probably call it C:\UGE or something like that). Then unzip (or copy, if you've already unzipped it) the files WIZGOLD.MDL and WIZGOLD.LST into the same directory. To start UGE in DOS, type CD \UGE, followed by UGE, and Enter. To start UGE in Windows 95, create a new shortcut, with the command line C:\UGE\UGE.EXE, then double click on the shortcut to start. You should see a "registration screen." Press any key to bypass it for now (once the program is registered, this disappears). Now you should see a blue screen which may or may not have some games listed to the left side of the screen. Press the "A" key to Add a game to the list. Type in "Wizardry Gold" in the box that appears, then press Enter. Now a list of files will appear on the screen on the right. Use the arrow keys to highlight the file "WIZGOLD.MDL" and press Enter. Now a listing of your hard drive will appear. Use the arrow keys to select the directory where your Wizardry Gold game is stored, then look for files with the three-letter extension .SGM These are the Saved Game files. Select the file you want to modify (i.e. when you tell Wizardry Gold to Load a game, it gives you a list of game names...same exact name. For example, if you named one game "Helpme.sgm" in Wizardry Gold, that is the file name you want to select in UGE to be able to modify the game). Press Enter. IF YOU GET AN ERROR THAT READS "File is Wrong Size" or something along those lines: Special note...this module ONLY works with saved games with parties who have six members. Wizardry Gold's saved game files vary in size according to how many members are in the party. As six is the maximum, it is the "assumed" number this module handles. If you have a party with fewer characters in the file you want to modify, you're stuck. (Note: "Dead" characters are still in the party, as they can be resurrected later) Now a new game should appear in the list on the left... "Wizardry Gold." Highlight it with the arrow keys and hit Enter to begin modifying your game. When you finish making changes, hit ESC twice, then look down the bottom of the screen to determine what key you have to press to exit the editor (this also disappears after the editor is registered). When you go back into Wizardry Gold and Load the game you just modified, you should see the changes immediately. II.> Okay, so what the heck do all these numbers mean? The numbers are values that the game uses to figure out the capabilities of your characters. Here's how they work in the editor: Name: Obvious. 8 letter maximum. Race: Setting this number changes what race you are. See Table 1 for Race type. Profession/Class: Setting this number changes what class or profession you have. See Table 2 for Class types. Experience Points or XP: Self-explanatory. Character Level: Also self-explanatory Monster Kill Statistic: Well, I don't know what it's worth, but I let you edit it. (shrug) Sex: 0 is male, 1 is female. Strength, Intelligence, etc.: Base Attributes. What you see is what you have. Gold Pieces: How much gold you're carrying. (fill in) Skill: Your ability level in each of the 34 skills. These can range from 0 to 100. A 0 means you have no idea how to do it. A 100 means you're a phenomenal expert... Current & Max Hit Points: Your "current" condition (hit point wise) and "maximum" number of hits. Can be set ridiculously high (okay, let's see somebody kill you when you've got 30,000 hit points...) Current & Max Stamina: Your "current" stamina level and its normal maximum. Can also be set ridiculously high. Current & Max (Magic Type) Points: Each of the six realms of power (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Mental, Divine) has its own set of spell points. And yes, unlike some other games, ANY character can cast spells, provided he or she has the spell skills...read on. (NOTE: Being able to cast these spells requires high levels set in Oratory, Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, etc...) These can also be set ridiculously high. (Magic Type) Spells: For each of the six spell realms, your character can "learn" certain spells. There is a semi- complex way in which these six fields determine which spells you have, but to save time, if you want to give your character ALL the available spells, fill in the number 65535 in each of these fields. NOTES ON SPELL-CASTING: You'll note each spell has seven "power levels." Your character, at low levels, will NOT be able to cast spells at a high "power level," regardless of Oratory skill OR available spell points. So, to make sure you can cast these spells, set your character level to a high point as well. (Imagine your opponent's surprise when the fighter who was only 1st level a moment ago suddenly becomes 30th level and fires off a 7th-power-level Nuclear Blast spell at him!) Items: You'll note each item (10 available to edit) has certain features...Type, Weight, Identity, #, and Appearance. Type determines what the item actually IS...see Table 3 below for item Types. Weight is the amount added to your "total weight carried," in 10ths of a pound (so a value of 50 here indicates the item weighs 5 pounds). And yes, you can make every object weightless by setting this value to 0 if you like...it'll show up as the "normal" weight when you Assay the item, but it won't add anything against your Carrying Capacity. Identity is simply how well you know what the item is. Setting this value to 128 lets your character know exactly what the item is. Certain items (arrows, darts, etc) can have more than one in a single slot...the number field allows you to edit how many you have (your ninja has 200 shuriken? Cool!) Finally, appearance is how the item appears in the character screen. It doesn't change what the item IS, just what it looks like to you. So, if you're lazy, you can leave this alone and everything'll function fine...just look a little funny. I didn't bother figuring out the entire table for appearance...I think the item table was ENOUGH work for this module! Feel free to experiment with this variable.
