OpenSource-Reimplementation of the zEngine, used by the game "Gothic" and "Gothic II".

The project has been restarted. Here is the new repository:https://github.com/REGoth-project/REGoth-bs

Don't forget to check out theREGoth-Wiki for more information about the project!

A list showing the current state of the engine, can be foundhere.

Make sure to clone this repository with the--recursive flag:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:degenerated1123/REGoth.git

git clone --recursive https://github.com/degenerated1123/REGoth.git

To update the repo, you need to make sure to update the submodules as well. Instead of simply pulling the repository, you can do:

git pull --recurse-submodules

Note: If you are missing packages or are having trouble building on your platform, you can check out thiswiki-page, which may contain more detailed instructions.If you don't find your platform there, I'd kindly ask you to add some instructions for other people to that wiki-page!

You will need CMake (3.1 or newer) and a C++14-capable compiler.Currently supported/tested are:

• GCC (6.x)
• MinGW
• Visual Studio 2015, 2017

You will also need a copy oflibsndfile installed on your computer.

On most *nix systems, this can be obtained using a package manager, for example on Debian/Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt install libsndfile1-dev libasound2-dev$ sudo apt install libxinerama-dev

Or on macOS

$ brew install libsndfile# Needs Homebrew

libsndfile will need to be compiled separately. Create a directory somewhere on your system to store the compiled files, then run

mkdir build-libsndfilecd build-libsndfilecmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=compiled/files/folder path/to/REGoth/lib/libdmusic/utils/dls2sf/lib/libsndfilecmake --build . --target install --config Release

Then:

cd path/to/REGothmkdir buildcd buildcmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..# On *nix systems this is sufficientcmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=compiled/files/folder ..# On Windows

If CMake complains about some folders missing a CMakeLists.txt, you most likely forgot to clone with the--recursive-flag!Simple dogit submodule update --init --recursive and it should work.

Then, choose depending on your OS:

make -j4

Starting Visual Studio 2017 you can use the integrated cmake functionality to open the cloned folder.
Check out thehow to build wiki page for details on this.

For previous versions of Visual Studio, open the generatedREGoth.sln and build as usual.
Alternatively, you may run this command inside of the build folder:

cmake --build. --config release

The compiled files are inside thebuild/bin directory.

Make sure to copy thecontent/shaders folder to the working directory of the compiledREGoth-Executable.Then, run the program with the following flags:

REGoth -g"path/to/gothic1or2" -w startworld.zen

Wherepath/to/gothic1or2 points to the root of a Gothic I or II installation andstartworld.zen is one of the Zen-Files found in a.vdf-files in the gamesdata/-directory. For example:newworld.zen oraddonworld.zen for Gothic II.

It is recommended to run this from the commandline, to see the debug-output of the program.

Additionally, for a list of possible commands, runREGoth --help.

• Movement: WASD/QE or arrow-keys (Space or Shift to run faster)
• Actions: Left CTRL for everything
• Menus: B for status-screen
• Console: F10
  • Available commands (square brackets mean optional argument):
    • tp [<teleporter:default=player>] <target>: Teleport NPCteleporter (= player if none is given) to NPCtarget
    • goto waypoint <waypoint>: Teleport player towaypoint
    • kill [<npc>]: Killnpc or a nearby NPC if none is given
    • knockout [<npc>]: Knockoutnpc or a nearby NPC if none is given
    • save <slotindex>: Save the game to the given slot
    • load <slotindex>: Load the game from the given slot
    • switchlevel <zenfile>: Switch to an other level in current session
    • usemana <amount>: Use mana
    • hurtself <amount>: Hurt yourself
    • set clock <hour> [<min:default=0>]: Set time of day tohour:min
    • control <npc>: Take control overnpc

If you want to help out and don't know where to start, I suggest reading thewiki-page, which contains information about the engine-layout and lists of which features are missing (Not yet, though!).
