"Help w/Lana's(Flame) mod"
After a couple of years and a new computer, came back to Wiz. 8. Trying to download Lana's final mod v4d, I cannot get Windows 7 to "read" the files for the mergeable items and boss monsters. PLEASE HELP, my 10-year-old is homebound for a while and loves to relax kicking tail as BabyKate the Faerie ninja!

Sorry, I have not played around with any of the mods ... or Windows 7. I was hoping someone else would jump in here with something useful ...

Just for your info 4d is not the latest of Lana's mod, version 1.1 is the latest and also there are instructions for a "quetzalcoatl-siren-fix"... find it all here: http://www.zimlab.com/wizardry/wiz8mods.htm

Thank you for the guidance. I can download it fine, but how do I install it? Yes, I am basically a computer moron--please no obvious follow-ups! When I download and then run the game, I have the 4d note on the beach with the foamies.

LAST EDITED ON May-16-11 AT 07:20 PM (Pacific)

First, get rid of the 4d version (or rename its installation folder) and install a fresh copy of Wizardry 8.

On the mods download web page, right-click the link and choose the "Save as..." option and browse/choose a folder of your choice on your C: drive where is will saved.

Once saved... the file is an executable file (which end by .exe, which you may or may not see depending on your folder view preferences).

Start Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and browse to the location where you saved the file above, double-click the file to run it. It will ask you where to extract its content, it will point to the current folder where it is already so leave it a that.

After it has extracted you'll notice (you should still be using Windows Explorer to do this) a new folder called "Sirtech" in the same folder where the patch executable is (unless you changed the destination folder in the step above).

Finally, just copy the contents of the sub-folders over in the same folder names where Wizardry is installed on your computer, that is the "Data" and "Levels" folders.

You'll know you have installed it right if you start a new game... on the beach you'll find a note from Flamestryke saying that you're running version 1.0 of her new mod... that's an error, you really are running version 1.1.

You will need to read and do the Quetalqartl(sp?) fix as outlined in one of the text files that come with the download.
