I've got a mapmaking kit right? I found it and I don't know how to use it, ive got a mapmaking skill that i assume is supposed to work in conjuction with the kit, if so how do i equip the kit or see the maps or something?

While outside of the inventory screen, when you're looking at the world around you, click on the USE icon (a key) at the control panel below, select the character who has the mapping skill and the mapping kit in the inventory, and select the mapping kit. Then you'll see the small portion of the map around you.
The higher your mapping skill, the more detailled the displayed map will be. There's also a spell available which will display the map, not sure of the name right now.

I've yet to get Wizardry 6 or 7 to work on my Windows XP computer..and yes I do have Dosbox.

Can someone please post detailed instructions on how to install both properly ? I just cannot seem to get either to run (i.e. either drops back to dos or get some error message about divide overflow)

Thanks
Train!

Download and try that one - Link. Don't forget to read the bottom of the review for instructions (not much to do).
Here're the DosBox commands for how to run it:
mount c c:\
c:
cd dsavant
vinstall.exe (to configure the game)
dsavant.bat

Okay, I did vinstall (and select config only - I believe that is what you are saying above)

After I did that, when I typed dsavant.bat, I get Illegal command Moslowiz
and drops back to dos.

If I'm suppose to install the game using vinstall, what are the 2 drives I'm suppose to use ? I don't have an floppy drives on the computer (i.e. no drive letters A or B!) ?

Also I did extract the files from that site into c:\dsavant

Thanks

oops..did you mean wizardry instead of dsavant.bat ??

Seems that works (wizardry)

So now that I've got this to work (well got to main screen), guess I'll need to find the W6 thread to see how to get that to work!

Scatty:

I download and extract to C:\DSAVANT

When I run vinstall, I get the config screen. If I choose CONFIG ONLY I get:
SYSTEM ERROR: UNABLE TO OPEN C:\DSAVANT\SCENARIO.HDR - Press <RETURN>

If I run wizardry.bat (not dsavant.bat b/c I'm using dosbox instead of moslo), I get the error:
SYSTEM ERROR: Unable to Load System Fonts

Any ideas?

[_r.u.s.s.]

what does your DSAVANT folder contain? (how many files and stuff)

Here's a screenshot with the info:

well,
i have rehosted it for you http://www.sendspace.com/file/1092zf. well, but i still recommend using the original full iso of the game from abandonia.

btw keep in mind that this abandoneer version needs to be in c:\DSAVANT even in virtual directory. so if you are mounting c:\DSAVANT to c: (i guess you are using dosbox) setup won't work cause the game will think that it's in pure C:\. you'd need to mount c: as c: (but that's not recommended so use a subdir) and then changedir to dsavant
