"Just a few question"

I'm a Wizardry veteran (well, only 6 and 7), but there are some questions in Bane that I still haven't been able to answer. Some I've found on this board, but others haven't been addressed. Any ideas?

1- In the swamp (where the caterpillar lives), there is an area where you see some tiny footprints leading off into the brush. I've tried just about everything here, and nothing happens. Does anybody remember anything special about his spot. My biggest idea was to use a Red Mushroom here, but all that happened was that I wasted a mushroom. There must be some reason he sells you three even though you can only "get small" once in the game?

2- Even though the literature says that the game supports VGA, no matter what whatever computer I try to install the game on, it won't give the option to install using anything better than EGA. Not the game looks _bad_ in EGA, I've played it that way many times, but it would be nice to see it in VGA this time; give it a bit of "new-ness". Anybody have any such problem? And yes, the computer the game is on and its graphics card definitely support VGA.

I think there were some other question about the game play, but I can't remember. I know I saw a list of wiz6 items and realized I'd never seen a bunch of them.

1) AFAIK there is nothing to do at the spot where the little footprints are. I believe the the red mushrooms have a magical property to them besides getting small. Most Items that can be eaten raise/recoup some aspect of your PC's stats such as healing hit points or condition or stamina or magic points.

2) The VGA graphics look just like the ega graphics in BANE as far as I can tell. When I installed it the first time on my 386 I installed with VGA graphics my buddy Installed it on a 286 using EGA graphics they looked the same. One must remember the big breakthrough in graphics was Super VGA thats what Wiz7 is.

You're right, I believe, about the SVGA thing. I solved the problem anyway, like five minutes after I posted. When I unzipped and search the directories on the original disks, the VGA grahpics files weren't even there. Oh well... you may be right. I don't think this one really makes a difference.
