Finally i did it... a modification for Gothic II – The night of the Raven.
This is my absolutly first try to create a modification, ... so be gentle with me.
But nevertheless,... constructive critics are, of course, very welcomed (like every other comment).
And yes, this modification and it’s voice-recordings are exclusively in english.
Ku'hajag - Roland's journey
This little modification tells you the story of Roland, a mercenary candidate, or at least his first steps into his journey.
Ku'hajag is the island on which his test of worthiness, which he must solve to get accepted into the guild, takes place.
... have fun!
Features:
- A new world (out of the modder-database)
- Approximately 1 hour of game-play
- A new (independent) story
- Full voice output

How to install?
Unfornately the englisch Gothic2.exe with version 2.7 is not compatible with Mod. Go to your /Gothic II/system/ folder an make a backup of your Gothic2.exe. Then download the german Gothic2.exe (This is no crack or something like that), extract the archive and replace your Gothic2.exe.
Then you can install the Mod an start it with the GothicStarter (located then in the system-folder too)
Known bug:
- Some dialog lines will not be spoken, and i cannot find any mistake
already DL'ing. i am most interested in how the voiceover came out.
hope to steal some ideas too, lol no no just kidding

Hm... Seems I can't get it to run. It installed with the German exe, but you cannot play with that since the copyprotection will not let you play the German exe with the english CD.
If I use the original english exe, when I start the game i get a black screen with just the health bar on it.

Sadly I can't play it.
But I know that the Voice Actors are reaaaally bad.... :0
Nope Actually the vocabulary is very nice and some of the voice actors must be English . Werner is speaking english with a german accent but it's nice And EVERY voice actor so far talk very realistic (reactions etc).
Calin unfortunately not, the mods of G2 are only for NotR
Hmm... Stranded also doesn't work for me, I get the same black screen with the health bar.
There's only one exe in the download section, the other is a patch?

After testing a couple of solution, the only thing to make it work was a german exe.
Now, I don't remember from where exactly I took it.
It's the 2.6 (fix) version.
Edit:
I can't seem to find the link. It was in a PM or IM with Werner.
I have G2 gold english (not something like german NotR and English subtitles patch), gothicstarter 2.6a and the german exe doesn't even asks for my cd.
Sounds cool. Pitty that I've lost my notr CD...Anyway,I think I know what is the problem with the unspoken lines. I had the same problem with the tramslation. Could you post the line that is not spoken in the game?i mean the whole code of that line
I did finished the mod!!! It was amazing i can say.
Pros:
+2 hours of adventure in only one small island witch is not bigger then the khorinis town itself!
+Amazing fights (one of the hardest fight i ever gave was in the end)
+Every event is happening at the same time as Gothic3 is taking place too
+English subtitles and dialogs with nice voice actors
+Nice music. It's the music from the pirate camp on G2notr right??
+Realistic environment and everyday life (on the morning fishing, on the night gathering around the fire and playing lutes, peeing etc )
+Amazing graphics, and is it my idea or you have change the sky texture on the night?? It looks wonderful!!
+A whole storyline

Cons: Not something important

The people on the island don't give a damn about the old building (except Seria of course). In an such a small island there was no way everyone not to bother about that building
-Some small pathfiniding problems

One-cool, hehehe, i was pretty sure you said your comments about the actors ironic before, because you were one of them (you are the "well well well, and muahaha character :P)
Werner i was pretty disappointed, i thought you would be the one who would record the "Werner" character
As for all the voice actors in general, roland was the best, after it was "one-cool" and then the other ones. I didn't like ben a bit but he was ok.
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
The fight with the skeletons was one of the hardest and most enjoyable fights i ever had in gothic
Will there be a part 2??? I want to see him fighting with the nameless BTW did his father Kurgan existed in Gothic 2???
The job was AMAZING! This i definitely the best mod for me so far! Now i have the same feeling as the one i had when i finished Gothic games!!! Congratulations to all of you
I didn't understand your last reply so well...did you create another mod or what?
Hehehe sorry my mistake, i forgot to insert a spoiler in the last sentence - i mean you must play the mod to understand what am talking about. If you want the spoiler here it is (briefly):
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
Roland the hero in this mod decide to become a mercenary. One of the main reasons he want to become one is to take revenge from the nameless because he killed Kurgan his father Now you've got the point
If you are commenting the "I did finished the mod" i said before, i meant the i finished (playing) werners modification
Sounds coolCould you post the line that is not spoken in the game?i mean the whole code of that line
Sure, here is part of the script, in it the 2nd and 3rd AIOutput is not spoken:
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
func void DIA_Zak_Beer_Weiter ()
{
AI_Output (other, self, "DIA_Zak_Beer_Weiter_15_00"); //So can you, or can you not help me to get my hands on a beer.
AI_Output (self, other, "DIA_Zak_Beer_Weiter_03_00"); //Well, if you ask like this,... not long ago i saw Tiberius drinking a beer.
AI_Output (self, other, "DIA_Zak_Beer_Weiter_03_01"); //Maybe you should have a talk with him.
AI_Output (other, self, "DIA_Zak_Beer_Weiter_15_01"); //You saw him drinkin a beer?! ... And to me he said he don't drink beer, what a liar!
AI_Output (other, self, "DIA_Zak_Beer_Weiter_15_02"); //I will go and ask him again, thank you!
B_LogEntry ("Werner wannna have a beer.","I knew it, asking for alcohol would leave a bad impression to the people, Zak gave a comment to this. I just hope that i don't have to help Sirea to bring her a new dress, what impression would that give the people here if i would ask for a female dress?! Anyway, Zak can't really help me, but he mentioned that he saw Tiberius drinking a beer. That liar, i will go and ask him again!");

I don't have a mic,... i've made some test-recordings with a digi-cam (video-recoding), then i extracted the sound, but it's quality was horrible.

You fought with the mace i guess,... i didn't managed to kill them that way, congrats!

Well, maybe, ... maybe not. ... honestly, i dunno,... i was thinking of something, ... but no concrete plans.
The job was AMAZING! This i definitely the best mod for me so far!
+Nice music. It's the music from the pirate camp on G2notr right??
Yes, should be,... it's "PIRATES_PIR". (After all the time, and after hearing it damn often, it's still don't get boring, imho,... wonderful music).
+Amazing graphics, and is it my idea or you have change the sky texture on the night?? It looks wonderful!!
Mhhh,... ... i didn't touched the sky.

Well, i must confess,... there was this hole in the map, something must have been placed there,... so it was him.
I also finished it and enjoyed it a lot. Congratz Werner.
THX!
Actually I think the guy that played the best was Ben.
I also think that this one was really a good one, but everyone did his/her best,... i'm very happy with the voice-actors (yeah,... not everything is "perfect",... but,... hell,... nobody was paid for it ).
Just looked for it, but I didn't. Any clues, please?
First Hint:

You'd have to climb where you usually not can climb.
One-cool, hehehe, i was pretty sure you said your comments about the actors ironic before, because you were one of them (you are the "well well well, and muahaha character :P)
Did you know that I hate Well well well and muhahahahaha.... now >_<
Thanks mistress_larisa, it works just fine now.
I don't know if this my HW or SW fault, but are those dynamic lights blinking and changing colours too fast for you too?

Now that you've seen such a support from the community here i hope you'll make a new modification however it may be
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
Very big thx, also for the detailed report!
Np, next time have me in mind for the beta testing
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
Yes, should be,... it's "PIRATES_PIR". (After all the time, and after hearing it damn often, it's still don't get boring, imho,... wonderful music).
Yes it was amazing, it was one of the best music in G2Notr but unfortunately you didn't listen to it a lot of times because you were moving around all the time. Now i really enjoyed
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
Mhhh,... ... i didn't touched the sky.
You know what, maybe in Gothic game you don't have the chance in any place to see so cleary the sky. I mean on this island you can see the whole sky whenever you turn your view. And it's clear everywhere from the horizon line it made with the sea. It looks very nice.

Couldn't locate the scroll but i was pretty sure there was one. Anyhow i really enjoyed it when i killed everyone of them with the mace. It was one damn hard fight.
As for the note i couldn't find it either. What is this? An easteregg??
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
Did you know that I hate Well well well and muhahahahaha.... now >_<
Well,well,well
BTW i didn't listen to Ben more than 1-2 minute neither did a hear Sergio longer. I think he is one of them two, maybe he is Sergio with the bad accent , i don't know. Anyway, as i said everyone was great
