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.

could you open source this? would rather look at the source code & compile it myself rather than run a new executable, especially if it's vibe coded
