   Next Version of Wiz8SpellAbility
<> A minor bug has been found in the lastest release of Wiz8SpellAbility (v2.01).

  • The calculation for the summary spell counts on the [Future Spells] and [Available Spells] sheets of the Wiz8SpellStats ("Got xx spells to learn..." etc) are the wrong way around. Affects only the way it looks (cosmetic fault), has no affect on the overall functionality.
An update is planned to correct this bug, but before starting on it I'm looking for everyone's suggestions for improvements NOW, so they can be included with the bug fix. Below is a list of received suggestions. If you would like to vote for a submission or have any other suggestions, use the comment entry section below TODAY.

  • Have the weighting graphs use the same colours as the corresponding realm of the pie chart. It may only be eye candy but the usage of the same colours would allow a better first-sight orientation even if the diagrams are based on different data.

    Refer to the graphic below to see the difference. I would really like to hear what others think about this change, because I can't decide which is better, the current looks better (to me), but maybe the suggested change makes more sense?

  • It has been reported that when importing a save game from a previous edition of Wizardry, spellcaster characters are awarded certain spells even though according to the Wiz8 spell learning rules they should not be eligible to learn those spells. Due to the design flexibility of the Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheet, with the inclusion of a single extra field, the spread­sheet could be made to handle such a situation, just not sure if there's enough demand for such a feature? If you would like to see this added, why not write a comment below.

  • Add handling for calculating spell power (the green, yellow, orange and red colour shading which appear around each of the seven spell power buttons during spell casting). To date, no-one has been able to determine a reliable model for making this calculation.
