Wizardry Wizardry IV Gaiden SNES Translation to English - CURRENT VERSION 1.02
- Thread starter MrRichard999
- Start date
After all these years of keeping an eye on the scene, I will never cease to be stunned with amazement at this ongoing surge of projects in the Wizardry stable getting knocked out at long last---one can only hope other long simmering series manage comparable fits of momentum gone mad.
We got one more release coming up for Wizardry Chronicles yet! Should be enough Wizardry for the summer.

Very cool work dude, I probably won't play it (too much gaymes), but cool nontheless.

The "trade item" command is currently translated as "Magic". The actual command to utilize a magic spell is currently "UseAbility".

OK! FIXED PATCH HAS BEEN UPLOADED! USE THE LINKS ON THE FIRST POST. FREEZING ISSUE IN THE TOWER OF IDLENESS HAS BEEN REPAIRED! :D
Im a retard, I gotta fix that one 
Oh, thats all fixed! You can get the new patch. Dont forget to apply to a clean ROM :D It was on the 2nd floor of the Tower of Idleness.
DDS just made a new insertion utility for all the larger font dialogue which now displays 3 lines vs. 2, the battle engine has been cleaned up, previous game freezing bugs were found and fixed, typos were corrected, and the character creation area is fixed to appear much better.
NEW PATCH LINK IS AVAILABLE ON THE FIRST POST!
NOTE: This video is not, I repeat, not using the super-duper most recent patch that allows more than 2 lines of text to be displayed.
10 mins of me playing this amazing game! once again thanks and more thanks for everyone involved in this fan-trans!

It seems that intro with the game story is not translated and there is no subs, right? http://prntscr.com/bxmd6h
Is it possible to know what the intro is about?

That is actually being worked on at the moment by DDS. Will have a new patch out soon with that and some minor fixings.
MAN this is a really, really, really good Wizardry game. the dev team was 100% on FIIIREEE back when they were making this game for the SNES. This game count out in the very last year of the Super Nintendo's life span in the STATES (!), so in japan it was alreadya fucking retro-game when released for the super famicom lol.
but it definitely shows through due to its high polish in how mature the graphics, sound and everything else, i.e. the important bits: gameplay mechanics, etc. :D
i only wish it featured a few quality of life conveniences that were present in other SNES wiz games like being able to cycle through the party members with dedicated buttons (i.e. Hotkeys), and also lol man it's such a pain having everyone sleep at the inn individually. it's obvious they really, really wanted to create a true CLASSIC wizardry, heh.
the battle engine/text/feedback needs a lot of work, MrRichard999 .
i know you posted you have a new patch which revamped it but i have not tried it out yet; but want to ask you if you managed to change/replace the horrible looking :'s in battle. example:
aweigh: Bandit: katana cuts (end of 1st dialog, game creates a second window and says)
aweigh: Bandit is dealt 9999 dmg (time for another one)
bandit has fucked off. (end)
although it soiunds like i'm whining about too many screens that's not really a problem at all i just wondered whether you fixed the : characters. can you replace them with at least 1 "space", and then a more conducive character instead like maybe @? lol just kidding. changing it to actual text saying:
aweigh(invisible space replacing the : character) (and now completely overwrite all instances of enemy name triggering, i.e. blank all of it out)katana used
(blank out / overwrite and space out the trigger of the 'aweigh' and leave only the 2nd trigger, i.e. the enemy's reception of the blow)Bandit is delat 999 dmg
Bandit died. (end)
Like this:
aweigh: BLANK SPACES HERE: Katana used!
BLANK SPACES HERE: Bandit dealth 999 dmg!
Bandit died.
is something like that doable? i recommed using the word "used" since i noticed you are using "cuts" for every weapon, even if it is something that does not "cut".

DDS did reorganize the battle text around to make it look better in the new patch but we will have another patch out soon with more fixes. 
BAD NEWS MrRichard999
glitch-freeze is linked to dragon-race's breath atk.
EDIT: using the patch linked on the front-page of this thread. i.e. the most recent one.
DOUBLE-EDIT: on the plus side could only be related with playing in Wireframe mode!

did you play-test whether or not dragon race's breath attack has a random chance to glitch yet? i haven't had time, but will play/test this tomorrow and let you know.
it is possible the glitch-freeze in my video wasn't related to the use of the breath attack, but it's the most logical assumption otherwise then it's just a random freeze which would mean tracking down the cause would be... very difficult, to put it mildly.
probably something to do with the breath attack's hexadecimal values not where the pointers want them to? i remember in the beta version of Empire 2 you gave me (Which is the version i played and finished all the way through, btw), that there was an exactly similar glitch that would happen when using a few abilities such as the Priest's "Dispel" and also the dragon race's Breath attack as well; and additionally i remember that you had mistakenly named the ability as "Disenchant".
you fixed all of that stuff, of course, and renamed everything properly in the final version of empire 2's translation patch, so i know very well that you know exactly what you're doing. just trying to be helpful here and provide some suggestions, even if this is stuff that you are already 100% aware about.

Been playing a bit of this on my phone recently and it's awesome. However, am I really dumb or is there no way to check the stats of weapons and armour? I can cope with all resting separately, but not knowing if a 'ring of jewels' is worth wearing or a Hand Axe is better than a long sword is killing me.

original Wiz games (i.e. all of them up to 7) did not include visible in-game stats for items. AFAIK that information was only available inside the physical copies of the games' manuals.
and, AFAIK, the same holds true for this Wiz game as well. However I can do something like the following: I can check the stats on common Wiz weaponry like a Battle Axe, which is traditionally 1d8+3, and check if the Gaiden 4 battle axe has the same stats as the normal Wiz 1-7 battle axe.
from there I can pin-point which hexadecimal value corresponds to the damage/etc, and using the battle axe (or longsword, whatever) as my "base" i can type out a list of the stats
