"major problems generating characters"
hi
im trying to create a party using dosbox and the english cd-version of wiz7.
unfortunately i rarely roll a bonus of more than 11... 95% of my rolls result with a value of 9-11. so i googled and found this forum. after reading some threads i stumbled upon that really nice editor prog mad god made. i downloaded it and tried to "fix" that rolling thing but it only reports "failed to change algorithm - unsupported version".
you guys seem to have no problems playing wiz7 in dosbox... so i wonder how i could fix that prob. anyone got an idea?

Just another example of the excellent product support provided by our beloved Mad God.

5. "Similar problem"
I just purchased the ultimate rpg archives and have tried the editor. When I downloaded it, it also reported "failed to change algorithm - unsupported version". Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks

It's simple. Try to get the latest version of the editor. If it does not work, then send me file vpcmk.ovr from your wiz7 folder.

Could someone please list what Versions of CoDS the algorithm patch from the Mad God's superb editor, is known to fix? If known?

For example, *Cosmic Forge* Version 1.6 won't patch Version 1.2 of CoDs...

So what determines if the Mad God's Algorithm patch supports a Wizardry Version?
Is it the "vpcmk.ovr" file's date?

From my investigations of my various versions I own, I have discovered the following:

CRUSADERS OF THE DARK SAVANT
- Archives (V 1.2) - Not supported
- GT Interactive's CODS "CDROM" (V 1.3) - Supported
- Original (V 1.2) MS-DOS 3.5 inch (Gray or Black)- ?

WIZGOLD
- Archives (V1.0) - Supported
- CD-ROM (V1.1A) - Not supported
