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

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

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"'

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.
