Hi, there,
Yes, I did it!

Ty all, esp. Skatty and _r.u.s.s.

1.First I DL the file Wizardry VII (5.1MB) from this site to c:\.
2.Start Daemon Tools (located far right down red icon) by right mouse button click on this icon; Virtual CD\DVD-ROM -> Device 0 [G:] Empty -> Mount image -> Enter -> Locate the above file Wizardry VII-Crusaders of the DarkSavant.iso, which is located in C:\-> Open
3.Now control check shows my device G: is named CRUSADERS.
4.Start\Programs\Accessories\Command Prompt
5.C:\>G: - Enter
6.G:\> install G: - Enter
7.An window appeared: “ Wizardry CD-ROM Installation” Copying “ g:\w7\scenario.hdr to c:\wiz-cd\7\scenario.hdr...Done Copying “ g:\w7\pcfile.dbs to c:\wiz-cd\7\pcfile.dbs...Done Primary installation completed.”
8. Now I copied the directory \w7\ from my G:\>Crusaders to c:\

9.Start DOSBOX.
10.Z:>intro mount - Enter
11.Z:>mount g g:\w7\ - Enter " Drive G is mounted as local directory g:\w7\
12.Z:>mount c c:\w7\ - Enter " Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\w7\
13.Now I left Dosbox by Alt-Tab (Do not close Dosbox).
And being in Windows (My Lord told me) I simply pressed the file wizardry in C:\w7\. ..Miracle.
A nice green book appeared and the game started.[/list]Attn: I am using Windows XP Pro, SP2, Screen resolution: 800 x 600 , Color quality 32 bit, 3D RAGE PRO AGP XP video card.

@Skatty: I tried your both variants under DosBox.No results. But You inspired me to try other variants and with GOD help now yog is a proud player of Crusaders..
The game looks fantastically!

Happiest yog

Glad it works now, Yoga
Now _r.u.s.s., tell me again that this version of Wizardry VII is easier to install and play than the other mentioned in this thread some time ago.

Rats!
Now new barrier: " Disk Error ".
This game make me crazy, man....
I fall down again, crying for help.

knock down yoga.

Ok, seems it's inevitable. Download this version of Wizardry VII instead, it's definitely easier to set up and play.
Just place it in the folder c:\dsavant (necessary, game requires that) and run vinstall.exe to configure the sound and rest, that's it. If it doesn't work when you mount the folder directly, just do it like:
mount c c:\
c:
cd \dsavant
Should do it.

Hi, dear Skatty,

Relax, all is OK.

Following your detailed instructions I started the game.
1. I DL the game from your site in C:\ as C:\Dsavant.
2. Then unrar /unzip/ in same dir.
3. in DBox Z:> mount c c:\dsavant\
4. C:\play
5. The game started. Then I created or used 6 champions.
6. Then Start New Game.
7. The copy protection asked me for password.
8. Some like Swords or Spells. I find in passwords file and pasted. OK
9. The game Really started and after loooooooooooog intro I visited the planet Guardia..
.. A nice sexy lady-warrior meet me ..
Then a group of monsters attacked me, but yog was not equipped his champions ( I hurry to test game and report you, that's all is OK)...

Note1: I have no need to start vinstall because the game automatically discover my sound card as Roland and I have nice music background - yes I hear even the grasshoppers in planet Guardia.
Note2: I used Password file from the other file Wizardry (of the site AB).One had to use 6 champs only! No more , no less.
Note3: The color background is nice, not like Dungeon Master when yoga is cracking his head as idiot in endless dark corridors, with no water,food and light....:notrust:
Of course its the beginning only but I noticed a Walk through in \Docs.
May I dare to put some regular questions like How to : save and so on..Y'know. ty.

(Very polite remark: With all my respect to other specialists, I repeat again, I do not want to harm anyone, and if yes, pls excuse me in advance , I will recommend Skatty way.
--Why, yoga?
yoga - No Daemon tools or Image file ,iso, problems and other pain procedures..easiest and working..
Merci.)

Skatty, my deep bow.
Have a nice day.

yoga the tester

Glad I could help
You save in the game by clicking on the closed book icon on the top left beside the direction arrows. Before that, though, it's probably a good idea to go to the Configuration menu where you can define many options, among others the path for saving the game. Keep the default path c:\dsavant\ (it will work flawlessly when mounting drive C directly), as for the savegame name, you can also keep the default savegame.dbs.
Keep in mind though that you can save only 1 game at a time in Wizardry VII, so sometimes you might want to rename the savegame to a different one in dodgy situations where you aren't sure if you're going the right way, but you can do that simply at the save game dialog.

Hi, Skatty,

I am preparing now for this nice game, reading and noting carefully all important things. ( Any maps available?)

Concerning yr note for one save slot my tactic is to make a separate dir and save in all my progress save files under different names. So, if some is wrong I simply rename the relevant file - copy - paste and start over.

Greetings

yoga - on the road again

Hi, mates,

It is nice to meet so competent, kind and polite Experts and Masters of RPG games in The Other side of the sky and Bodensee ) or in this nice site.
Humble yoga is not novice in this gеnre also.
I am dedicated RPG gamer.
But my interest is not so deep as probably yours.
My targets:
To play Ultima series, MM5-6 , Wizardry and The Elder Scrolls - Arena and Daggerfall.
Well, I deserve the right to ask you some questions in above mentioned U8 in the future.
Thank You very much und vielen Dank..

Right now I meet serious problem in the game The Anvil of Dawn at level The Barrier - I am unable to open a final door and complete this easy level.
Rats! - 3 levels to the end only left.
Dear 5-th Horseman,

I hate spam and know yr strict spam policy.
Excuse me and ty.

BTW why we not use the Chat option some days? It is so handy..

Skatty, I am let say little lazy person and I will use the preset 6 champions of Wizardry start. Hope it is no so fatal for their future development?
