Can someone point me towards an editor?

[[GRVTS]Fat Bastard]

This has been driving me bonkers for as long as I can trying to play this game. I like cheating, I edit my characters in NWN, BG, IWD, TOEE, Goldbox and even the gothic series. To put it simply, I want to just mess around. Not saying I want characters that never die and oneshot everything, but I don't want to have to min-max my stats or anything like that. I want to play around with the classes and such without needing to worry if I'm screwing the balance of my team setup.

Also. If anyone can just point me at the correct settings to look for stats with cheat engine, then that works to.

Some links here: I only checked one but the download was there. I've always found the Simple Editor sufficient for testing but I know a lot of people like Cosmic Forge. http://wizardryvault.com/file-downloads/

I'm having troulbe using the simple editor. Where do I download the tabctl32 thing?

https://www.ocxme.com/download/3361/TABCTL32.OCX download seems to work. I of course won't guarantee anything I haven't tested. Good luck, if this is bad info I'll remove it.

I'm not touching anything that isn't confirmed without a shred of a doubt, safe. I don't trust any sites and download sites related to old games.

Scan it with an antivirus, I guess. Maybe some could dropbox the file, I don't have such accounts.

Run the program with admin privileges. That should work I want to say without the file

It says Compenent 'TABCTL32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

I extracted the files in a new folder in my documents, was I suppose to put the editors folder in the games main directory?

[A'zerit]

Mine's in the editor folder with the w8edit.exe. Just the TABCTL32.OCX no folder or other files.

I'm running a copy of Wiz8 on 64-bit Windows 10; the simple editor won't work even after I download TABCTL32..OCX. I tried putting the file in both the System32 and SysWOW64 folders; I even tried manually registering the file and got "Error Code 0x8002801c". Do any other players know how to make the Simple Wiz8 Editor run under Windows 10?

I am not familiar with the OCX file mentioned above, so it may be the same thing as what I am about to say and therefore no help.

When I first ran the game there was a Wizardry editor made by some who called himself "Mad Dog", Well I tried to search for that now and the only thing I found was "Mad God" who has a Wizardry editor. It is probably what I was thinking of and I just recalled it wrong. He is referenced in a Zimlab site that I trust. No guarantees, of course. ...Easy to find with a web search.

That editor might not be any more compatible with W10 than what those in this thread already found (or it may be the same thing). Perhaps it will be updated at some point if that is the case for Win64 and Win10.

I used the editor mentioned above several years ago for 2 things only: 1) To change RPC (recruitable NPC) favored items. In particular, Vi insists on lugging around a mace with a weight of 10 that she cannot afford to carry, even when her current weapon is much better (even a better mace). 2) Changing the areas where RPCs were willing to go. This is based on the idea of wanting RPCs that you can develop and keep with you as part of your party strategy all the way through the game. Vi and RFS-81 go to most areas, but other RPCs are very limited, plus Vi could be a lot more flexible.

The editor was menu driven and easy to use... no coding or editing of text files outside of the editor was needed.

The reasons for some of the RPC area limitations are story based but as a Party and Character development game I found more flexibility desireable for RPCs. I lost my copy for years now when I changed computers after a crash so have not used an editor in my last dozen or so games.

There is no need to use an editor to make the game easier, but for a certain weapon or flexible RPC to try out a party concept it might be fun (for single player... not when playing in a competitive contest, of course). It has been years since those were held for W8.

I'm wanting to edit player-character inventories, not the master list of available items, Mad God's utility is designed to modify the game itself; I'm looking for a _savefile_ editor that works under Win10.

[mpnorman10]

I did not do so personally, but others, at a time when tens of thousands were playing and hundreds of players were posting, used the editor to manipulate the stats and skills of their own characters and NPCs, ostensibly to match what they had, or could have had in Wizardry 7 rather than importing a W7 save file.

There was also experimenting to see the impact of various stats and skills to determine how they work in detail. There were many long posts detailing experiments and results. To do this, IIRC, they used Mad God's editor to set it all up.

I wonder where it lost the ability to manipulate save games along the way? I am sorry that you are not finding what you require. Good luck in your search.

What was the oldest version of Mad God's editor that could still edit Wiz8 savefiles? Does anyone here still have a copy?
