Tutorial: First Mod

Step 1: Create a new empty mod

Start the game into Mod Management UI via Steam Launch Options or by passing the -ModManagementUI commandline flag.

On the lower left corner, select New Mod, then enter the following details:

• Title: “My First Mod”
• Author: Your name

Click Create. An explorer window should pop up, pointing to where your new empty mod has been created.

If not, it will be at the install-location of Gothic 1 Remake, under G1R/Mods. You can find this by using the “Explore local files” option in Steam.

Note

If you like to have your work-in-progress mods in some other location, you can use the -ModsDirectory= commandline parameter to overwrite the local mods path.

You should see a GothicMod.json file, along with some empty folders.

Step 2: Create a new AngelScript file

Create a new HelloWorld.as file inside the Script/ folder, and put the following code inside:

class UChoiceDiego_MyFirstMod_HelloWorld : G1R::Conversation::UTopic_Hero__OC_STT_DIEGO
{
    default Caption = FText::FromString("Hello Diego!");

    UFUNCTION(BlueprintOverride)
    void Act()
    {
        Hero.AI.Say(FText::FromString("Hello Diego!"));
        Diego.AI.Say(FText::FromString("Hello World!"));
        Diego.AI.GiveItemTo(Hero, UItMi_Orenugget, 999);
    }
}

Step 3: Launch the game, Talk to Diego

Now after starting Gothic 1 Remake, you should see a small box on the top-right corner of the main menu, showing that one or more mods are active. Click it, verify your new mod is there.

Start a new game or load an existing savegame. Talk to Diego, notice he has a new “Hello Diego” choice.
