Yep, but doesn't it need mapping skill? And it's not too convenient to be looking for kit in inventory every minute...

Man, GOG's support ticket system sucks!

I tried doing as you suggested, and populated only the Subject and Message field since the Hardware Information one says (optional but recommended). However, I got a message reading "DxDiag / System Profile is required." Ok, so I try to enter the configuration manually, but end up with the same message! Finally, I run DxDiag and try to upload the file to GOG, but the .txt file isn't recognized (the message reads "wrong file format).

This is the first time I've ever tried using the support message feature, and given how utterly useless and misleading it's proven will it be my last. I'm very disappointed in GOG right now, this decreases my previously highly favorable opinion of the service considerably.

EDIT (1 minute later): I just noticed that I had one of two choices regarding in what format I could save the DxDiag file, and it looks like GOG recognizes and accepts the .xml format, so I've managed to successfully submit the ticket. GOG still needs to eliminate the deceiving text that says the configuration info is not required when the system behaves like it is in fact quite necessary. My opinion of GOG is now slightly better than it was before I edited this post, but still lower than it was before I experienced this dreadful support ticket system firsthand.

Yeah, GOG certainly could improve in various ways. It's certainly your right to not buy games here anymore if you choose, but be sure to let GOG know why you would stop.

Ha ha, well I can understand disappointment with GOG in different ways. :P GOG team are really good people, but are still a business, and the way to make businesses take notice of something is to stop giving them money and let them know what they can change to bring back that source of income.

(I'd like GOG to continually search for new ways to improve compatibility, and DOSBox and nGlide certainly help. Hopefully someday there will be a Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 emulator, something that I guess is being done with Wine for Windows.)

Just saying, I guess, that there are ways to take action against "injustice". ;-)

I would love to be wrong about this but I have serious doubts about GOG fixing the text speed issue (and it's not just in combat). Programmers have been trying to fix this for years using hex editing, fan made patches/patched exe's etc.

Done and Done! Actually they are not plain BMPs but indexed ones, so it always isn't that easy. Also the little portraits from Gold have such a low resolution that putting Wiz8 ones there required some effort to do properly!

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.
