Wiz8SpellAbility Companion Utility (v2.00) released

[Wolfie]

A companion utility to combine with the Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheet is now available for download (and only a few days late).

What is this Wiz8SACU (as it is called)? Well, here's a quote from the introduction:

"During my work with the Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheet, I was of course using it for my own parties of adventurers in Wizardry 8. I found myself saving a spreadsheet for each character in the party (I tend to lean heavily on magic and so just about all my characters are spellcasters of one sort or another). It was about this time that Mage_77 created his list of where spellbooks could be bought and found in the gameworld of Dominus (latest update can be found here). So I created another spreadsheet for myself which would link into the individual character Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheets and provide me with a list of which spellcaster needed what spellbook, so I'd know when visiting a merchant, which spellbooks to buy and how many was needed.

After finishing the Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheet, I decided to improve on the original of this "companion" spreadsheet, to polish it up to a point where it could be released for use by other people."

Go to http://wiz8.web1000.com for all the details.

For those of you who unfortunately get re-directed to a Web1000 screen (seems to mainly effect people in Eastern Europe, this is because of an idiotic policy that the web service provider have involving so called "non-English speaking" countries), use http://www.metaspinner.net/cgi-bin/n...8.web1000.com/ instead, which bypasses the problem.

Enjoy!

BUMP!

Hmm, that got me thinking. If I wasn't so damn lazy, I'd make a program, that extracts the required info from a savegame file. Meaning all chars, spell realm and magic school skill levels, spells learned so far etc, and inserted them into the spreadsheet. It's a pain to start using that when your bishop, ninja and samurai are at around level 19, since there's a million spells to be checked and stuff like that...

So, because I'm probably too lazy to do that, I decided to let everyone know of this idea, in case there are other programmers playing the game and reading the board [img]smile.gif[/img]
