"HEEEEELP"
HELP! My Scenario.hdr file has gotten corrupted, and my poor disks have long since went the way of the dodo! If anyone can be so kind as to send me a Wiz 6 scenario. hdr file, I would be ever so appreciative.

Danka!

2. "RE: HEEEEELP"
Thanks for the .hdr file. I thought that that was the problem, as the date of the file had changed, but I still can't run Wiz 6. When I run it under Win 95 I get an illegal operation error, and when I run it in DOS-mode I freeze up. The trouble is also not in wroot.exe, as I downloaded the patch file to replace it. Anyone out there have a similar problem and can help with it? Perhaps the problem that corrupted my scenario.hdr file also deleted another file wroot needs? (the problem was transferring the directory from my old computer which had drive problems. Alas, that old beast is gone)

If you moved your directory, maybe you forgot to reconfig-- have you rerun WINSTALL (or whatsitsname)?

All winstall is all happy, wroot still isn't. Besides, I kept the same directory structure and whatnot.

Perhaps it is not meant to be...

Ok, lets add tot he mystery. I took the Bane files to work to try them on a different computer, and they ran fine! (the scenario.hdr file was still corrupt: thanks for the email!)

Now the work computer id a 500 AMD running win 98 while at home its a 200 Pentium MMX running win95. Perhaps it is a dos configuration problem, or maybe a win95 problem? Anyone have any ideas on what the win problem might be? I verywell can't be playing Bane at work, I'll never get work done!

Ok, thanks to all that helped out, Especially Surrano!

After a number of config.sys edits, the download of the divide overflow patch and a judicial application of moslo, I ran the gamut from one error to another to a divide overflow to finally WORKING!

Thanks again!

7. "HEEEEEELP S.O.S."
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM IN WIZARDRY 6. I HAVE NO MANUALS SO I AM HAVING A HARD TIME FINISHING THE GAME. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING WIZARDRY 6 FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS BUT STILL I DON'T HAVE A CHANCE IN ENTERING THE CAPTAIN'S DEN. I ALSO DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SNOOPCHERI IS. I DON'T KONW THE PASSWORD. I ENTERED THE ALTAR BUT STILL I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I GOT THE GOAT'S MASK, DAGGER OF RAMM, DEADMAN'S LOG, KING'S DIARY BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE THEIR USES. MY PARTY IS SO STRONG BECAUSE I ALWAYS GO TO THE GATE WHERE I THINK ON THE OTHER SIDE IS WATER. I HAVE BEEN MOVING THERE TIL I ENCOUNTERED STRONG FOES LIKE HAUNTS, SPIRITS, CHUNINS, ASSASSINS, KNIGHTS OF DEATH, SKELETON ROGUES AND MANY MORE. MY BROTHER'S PARTY GOT SO STRONG THAT THERE IS NO PLACE TO PUT HIS EXPERIENCE POINTS. MOST OF THE SKILLS ARE ALMOST 100 AND THE SPELL POINTS IN EVERY ELEMENTS RANGES FROM 1000 UP. SO THE PARTY HALTED AND IT BECAME USELESS. I HOPE THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DROP BY AND GIVE US A HAND. I HOPE SOMEBODY WOULD REPLY FOR MY MESSAGE. ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE IF YOU HELPED ME. PLEASE REPLY...
from the frustrated gamer,

8. "RE: HEEEEEELP S.O.S."
go to Kyler's Wizardry Den
<a href=http://www.mindspring.com/~lastheart/wizardry>;
there you'll find a decent walkthrough (you don't have to read all and spoil the game if you're stuck)

the password for the captain's den is "skeleton crew" and will be given you by Queequeg when you tell him where the captain buried his treasure (the answer is "giant mountain", as you can tell after reading the deadman's log)

hints for solving the altar-riddle are given in the book of ramm, I think (the sequence is head/head/orb/staff/orb)

to find Snoopcheri, put the cheese in front of a hole in a wall near the two fountains

hope this helped a little... have fun

The Goat's Mask and Dagger of Ramm are used very late in the game. At the altar press the buttons as ShadowCrust says (remember the Book of Ramm). Down the altar you will get a item to read the deadman's log and the king's diary.

I hope this would stop your frustration

13. "Just Asking"
Could there be a bug in my bane files? I mean, there is one time that I am in the river and proceeded to the raft when suddenly, all the members of my party dies in an instant! That was in the room where you can see a skull that you must have to put two ruby gems in the eye socket. I tried to avoid the raft but when I go back up, I see several walls and when I come to them, I would also die. The text bar says "you have come into the rock" or "you are in the rock" or something like that. Let me know if this occurs to you, guys. If not, then my copy of Wizardry VI has bugs in it.

Sounds like a bug for me... you haven't edited your game, have you?
If my memories are correct, then the raft is far away from the Skull Door - where did it happen? At the Isle of Minos? At the Isle of the Sirens? Or actually at the Skull Door?

15. "RE: beetlejuice"
It happened eventually at the raft itself. Maybe, just maybe, my files are pretty damn corrupted from my source because I got the bane in Computer Gaming World CD that made Wizardry as a free game. Well, if not,please reply.

16. "RE: beetlejuice"
It never happened to me, so it might be that the free game has been crunched a bit. If you choose not to step on the raft, it won't happen, will it?

17. "RE: beetlejuice"
If I chose not to step on the raft, I have nowhere to go becaause when I go back up to the skull door, the environment there views just walls and when I step into them, my party dies in an instant. Well, thanks anyway for your concern, ShadowCrust.

18. "File Saving"
LAST EDITED ON Jul-26-00 AT 10:44 PM (Pacific)

Do you have any tips or patches on how I can load and save the game on my hard disk? It is quite annoying when I used diskettes, and my disk drive does not work properly.

19. "cd bane"
bane
then you wait for the options screen and enter the fourth line "game configuration"
there you will see an entry "savegame drive": type in C:\bane\
or any path you want your savegame to be stored

if you want to run the game from another hard drive or another directory, you have to adjust the "scenario drive" for the new path

20. "Sounds like a corrupted savegame"
One time I walked downstairs from L'Montes place, and there was blackness at the bottom. I had to copy the players out of that savegame and paste them into a new savegame. As for the "you have walked into rock" message, I think I got that when I tried to hex-edit/teleport myself someplace.

21. "Dying when you use the raft"
For shame Rbrown, are you in some way implicating L'Montes in your hoary demise?

As for the raft bug, if it really is -raft- specific, you can give yourself the water wings (walk on water shoes) with a little hex-editing and avoid the raft altogether I suppose

the hex for that is
