Wizardry VI

Russian translation project for Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge.

Building

The project includes a build system to generate game archives from the parsed resources.

Building locally

To build the game archives locally:

# Build English version
python3 tools/build.py --language en

# Build Russian version
python3 tools/build.py --language ru

This will create:

• build/en/ or build/ru/ - Game files for the specified language
• archives/WizardryVI-ru-{hash}[data=english].zip - English version archive
• archives/WizardryVI-ru-{hash}.zip - Russian version archive

Where {hash} is the short git commit hash (7 characters).

Each archive contains a root directory with the same name as the archive file.

Build options

python3 tools/build.py --help

Options:

• --output-dir DIR - Output directory for build artifacts (default: build)
• --archives-dir DIR - Output directory for archives (default: archives)
• --no-archives - Skip creating ZIP archives
• --language LANG - Language to build: en or ru (required)

CI/CD

The project uses GitHub Actions to automatically build game archives on every push to master. The built archives are available as workflow artifacts.
