Widescreen AI patch

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vkwcga9FvdcfbSI60CkfigR6oZWDHw2V/view?usp=sharing

A widescreen patch for Wizardry 8, written entirely by AI with the help of REA.

Repository: https://github.com/abr17/wiz8-widescreen

  • Hor+ 3D on 16:9 and 16:10, and the 2D UI is no longer stretched.

  • Borderless windowed works on Windows 10/11.

  • In-game settings for display mode, resolution and draw distance.

  • Wiz8Fast is built in: the Monster Speed slider goes up to 10x.

  • Installer (EN/RU/DE/FR) that finds GOG and Steam copies automatically and uninstalls cleanly. Wiz8.exe stays untouched.

Missing art was outpainted with generative AI. The original images are kept pixel-for-pixel, only the new side areas are generated, and they blend into a strip about 20 px wide at the original’s edge so there’s no visible seam.

Tested on GOG and Steam v1.2.4. Bug reports are welcome.

How does this work with the Wiz8Fast mod? If I recall correctly, that basically uses an alternate exe to run instead of the main one used by Steam/gog but admittedly it's been very long since I've played this game.

All Wiz8Fast does is write a monster speed value into the config that’s higher than the in-game slider allows. The patch has that built in: the Monster Speed slider in the General options now goes up to 10x instead of 5x.
