Installation

Simple:

Extract all files from the zip-file to the root-folder of your game, which can be either Gothic I or II.

Then, run REGoth.exe to start the game.

Advanced:

This method can be used, if you want to use the same REGoth-installation for multiple instances of Gothic.

First, extract the files anywhere you like. To start a game now, you need to tell REGoth, where it can find the gamefiles and which world to load.

This can be done using the -g-flag:
REGoth.exe -g "path/to/Gothic"

If you have any .mod-file which you want to load, you can add it using the -m-flag.

Controls

  • Movement: WASD or Arrowkeys + Mouse
  • Actions:
    • CTRL/MB1 as the general action-button for everything
    • Enter to accept dialogue-lines
  • Debug: Space/Shift for more speed. F1-F4 to switch camera-modes.
  • UI: B for status-screen, L for log-screen, ESC for menu
  • Console: F10 to open, ESC to close.
