[release] g2-mod Ku'hajag (english)

[WernerTWC]

Hi everyone!

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

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

[Jammer]

wow, nice

already DL'ing. i am most interested in how the voiceover came out.

hope to steal some ideas too, lol no no just kidding

[Jammer]

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.

[Lazor]

Nice job! At last we're gonna see an english mod I'm downloading right now. Wait for comments

Mhhh, ... to have something to compare, try also the mod "strandet":
http://www.worldofgothic.com/dl/?go=dlfile&fileid=58

And from here you can also get two different exe's,... one should be the same like the one linked in my first post, maybe try both:

Sadly I can't play it.
But I know that the Voice Actors are reaaaally bad.... :0

Good to see, that you really finished it

Why not?

@WernerTWC : Nice modification, the story sounds really good. Could the mod also run with G2 classic or is it absolutely necessary to have the add-on installed?

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

[Jammer]

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?

[Larisa]

I had the same problem.

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.

Edit 2:
This is the link to the exe:

That is exactly what oc wanted to hear, i guess.

Werner is speaking english with a german accent but it's nice And EVERY voice actor so far talk very realistic (reactions etc).

The Credits will show it,... just as an info,... i didn't spoke any role.

Edit: Or try what larisa edited in her edit. ^^

[diego_pmc]

Oh, you finally released.
Bravo, Werner. It's great to play some Gothic once in a while, (I mean something you know nothing about, with a little mystery, like this here - instead of replaying the same game over and over).

I didn't managed to finish it tonight, I'll continue tomorrow, and it managed to keep me in front of the monitor for some time, until now.

Also loved the parts in which the hero's mentioned, and the thing with the

Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)

12th paladin

is great too. Too bad I didn't play G3 yet, to fully understand all this with the paladin.

And the traditional grammar mistakes are there too.

All in all, very good till now.

Yeah, especially the guy playing Heidiger, gesssh.:0 :P

[GothicFighter]

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

[Lazor]

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 + Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) Nameless hero is the bad guy and Roland seeks revenge + Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) 12th Paladin!! Cons: Not something important -Don't hide your objects so well!! 1 out of 2 hours i was searching the whole island. -Some nonsense 1. Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) (A paladin is sitting on a small cave (hole i'd say) and he's getting wet by the waves instead of finding another place to live or communicate with the other people ) 2. Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) 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 1. Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) Sleeping on the bed on Tiberius will cause you a lot "jump around" in order to get out of the bed! (the roof isn't tall enough) 2. Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) The marvins, those insects on bens hut were all killed by Sergio, well when i got close to his cave the marvin started to fall from the cliff into the sea, exactly outside his cave! 3. Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren) The last 2 skeletons have moving problem

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

[Calin]

Kurgan was a Dragon Hunter in G2.

I didn't understand your last reply so well...did you create another mod or what?

[Lazor]

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

Sure, here is part of the script, in it the 2nd and 3rd AIOutput is not spoken:

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!"); WAHRHEIT_VON_ZAK_ERFAHREN = TRUE; B_GivePlayerXP(100); };

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.

Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)

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

Will there be a part 2??? I want to see him fighting with the nameless

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!

Very big thx, also for the detailed report!

+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.

-Don't hide your objects so well!! 1 out of 2 hours i was searching the whole island.

*g* ... that was the plan.

Well, i must confess,... there was this hole in the map, something must have been placed there,... so it was him.

Did you found the hidden note?

I also finished it and enjoyed it a lot. Congratz Werner.

Actually I think the guy that played the best was Ben. TripaV seems to play better when he has roles, that need some accent, like Judge, old man, etc, this one was more common.

Just looked for it, but I didn't. Any clues, please?

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:

Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)

You'd have to climb where you usually not can climb.

Ask if a second hint is needed.
