stika: really? the gold version looks worse? howcome?
miketwoface: I mean the graphics in the game should be the same, but those horrible portraits in Gold version are really awful :D
I have imported Wizardry 8 portraits into Wizardry 7 Gold.
Here's the video showing the results and other info. Download links are in the description.
I really don't get why are the portraits one of the main reasons for not playing the gold version since you can change them...
they are just 256-colour indexed bmps in the game's folder.
Non-human-like skinned portraits were converted automatically to the indexed format, the human-like skinned ones had to be converted manually and painstakingly (because automatic conversion yielded either brown, red, orange or yellow rather than a caucassian skin colour)
I am not monetizing that video.
