Orc-Player...
Hi my name is Dan, and i'm new to the forum.. As all of you i'm also a big fan of the game gothic, and i'm from time to time trying to edit the game, however i don't know much about it.. After playing gothic for a while, i met the Orcs in the game. I really wanted to play as an Orc, but i didn't know how on earth that would be possible, but with a little look around the forum, i found a solution that might work: Editing the "PC_HERO.d"-file. I tried this, and with about 20 tries i finaly got it to work, i edited the file so "well" that i finally was able to play as an Orc, with all of the basic Orc-stats.. I edited the file, so that my "mod" would look like the Orc-warrior...
There is just one problem, the orc can't look in chests, it can't use one-handed weapons, neither can it use armor. It can't sleep in most beds, shot with a bow, use the pan to grill the meat and so on.. All it can is using a 2-hander in one hand, plus fire the C-bow like a handgun. And some other things.. Is it possible to edit the "ANIMS.VDF"-file?? and copy some of the humans' feats. (using a bow, one handed weapons and like opening chests, and doors). Is this possible, and if you know, please help me..

Dan..

I have no answer for your problems. But you can try it in the Editing-Forum. Here. That is a special forum for mods.
It's a nice idea to play as an orc.:)

Hey, are you the one that sent emails to me and thought i would be Zonk?
So Orcs have other bone structures than humans, so you can't pick up items etc. with an orc. So thats not really comfortable.

Yep it's me..
Hi Timothy, yeah it's probably me, who thought you were Zonk.. Well as said, i got it to work; playing as an Orc, and they can pick up items, only they can't use bows, one-handers and a whole lot of spells. They can climb latters talk to people use torches, eat food, and other funny stuff, but not any type of armor, if they wear armor, their body turns invisble, and a head fly's around.. But then another question.. Do any of you mod'ers know how to edit the VDF-files, (extract, and pack them..) cause i had an idea of renaming some of the human feats (one-handers, bows, chests and so on), so that they instead of being named; HUMANS_***-whatever, are called ORC_***-whatever... You got my point.. Would this be possible.. Thanks to Kermit and Timothy for their fast replies...

Wow really ? I dindt know, never tried out, but someone told me... uh never mind. VDF Files can be created with NicoVdfs wich is inside the Development Kit. You can create *.mod Datas (which have a similar strucure to the vdfs) The Documents may be useful to you, but they are in german, maybe theres a translation in an english forum or something like that, try out. So with the scripts its not so easy. Watch the Files in the script directory, there are all NPCs an Pcs that can be played by typing in their parameters.

You wrote about Heretic Mods and Elf-Heads, i'm not the one who made them, its Zonk's honor to be the one. I can make Heads and Armors too, but he was the pioneer.

Its within the Development Kit, you need'nt download it.

You can't make Orc Anims because there is no Orc *max file within the Dev Kit.

Its pretty easy to make weapons, there's a tutorial in the dev kit too, did you read my answer ?
Search for your answers in the Documents first please, or in the thread "Editing FAQ" As long as you can speak a bit german. if not, there may be an english Forum anywhere for sure. I can't explai everything in the Documents in english.
