dmolony (3 posts) Feb-01-09, 03:37 AM (Pacific) "Wizardry Disk Browser" First of all, it's great to see that Wizardry is still so popular. For those that may be interested, I have a couple of java utilities available at www.bytezone.com/apple. One is a dedicated Wizardry utility which reads scenario disks and displays the contents - maps, characters, monsters etc. This hasn't been updated for several years, but handles scenarios 1 & 2, and most of 3. The second is a general purpose apple disk browser, which also handles wizardry disks. I am currently incorporating the wizardry utility into this program, and it is a little better with scenario 3. To use these programs you may need to install a java runtime (details on the web page). Enjoy.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Wizardry Disk Browser" Hi dmolony, I've downloaded the software, I've got Java... but could not figure out how to get the program started, can you give us a hint or two on how to do that. Thank, Snafaru   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Wizardry Disk Browser" Hi Denis, Downloaded it again, now it works... strangely the first time I downloaded it downloaded as .zip files instead of .jar files. Soooo... I fired it up and oh my!!! What can I say, this is excellent work, well above and beyond expectations. Now I'll be able to post much better maps of the custom Wizardry scenarios other fans and I did! I wish I had known about your work before now, but better now than never. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Snafaru P.S. My web site is at http://www.zimlab.com/wizardry/ if you ever get the hitch of playing Wizardry I again but with a different maze, monsters, items, races, classes, etc. There's also Oubliette that you can play which is one of Wizardry's ancestors and inspiration.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dmolony (3 posts) Feb-06-09, 02:44 PM (Pacific) 4. "RE: Wizardry Disk Browser" Glad you like it. I've just dug out the code for the Wizardry Browser and updated it for scenario 3. Once I've sorted out a few other things, I'll put it up on the web site.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
