OpenGothic

Open source remake of Gothic 2: Night of the raven. Motivation: The original Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 are still great games, but it not easy to make them work on modern systems. The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic client compatible with the game and mods.

Work in progress

Core gameplay is done, you can complete the first chapter, as well as all addon content for any guild.

Install on Windows

1. Install original gothic game from CD/Steam/GOG/etc
   you have to install original game, since OpenGothic does not have any game assets or game scripts as built-in
2. Download latest stable build
3. run '/OpenGothic/bin/Gothic2Notr.exe -g "C:\Program Files (x86)\Path\To\Gothic II"' Common Gothic installation paths:

• "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic II"
• "~/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/Gothic2_gog/drive_c/Gothic II"

Build it for Linux

1. Install dependencies for Ubuntu 20.04:

sudo apt install git cmake g++ glslang-tools libvulkan-dev libasound2-dev libx11-dev

2. Clone this repo, including submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic.git

Mods compatibility

Mods delivered as *.mod files shoud work, since *.mod contains visual content and scripts.
Don't expect mods created with AST-SDK to work, since original Gothic and OpenGothic are not binary compatible.
Don't expect DirectX11 mod to work, since technicaly it's not a mod. But Project is aiming to have a good graphics with shaders out of box.
