How to install?

[Niko]

I wonder how installation will work? It is said, that Gothic 2 is required. But what is with Gothicfix 2.6, what with Systempack, what with Playerkit or even Union? Are you allowed to use them via Steam or how does it work?

Thanks for answers.

Not to forget DX11. Would be great if it's only "one click and don't have to care at all install" - everything included :D
Looking at minimum spec I assume that at least the DX11 install will be optional.

To play Chronicles of Myrtana on Steam you need to have installed Gothic 2 Gold Edition, then add Mod to your library, download it, and click play in it's page, hopefully without errors.

It sounds like that - like other mods on Steam.
But normally you need a bunch of additional stuff to play Gothic II Gold in an acceptable manner - not to talk mods.
But do we need all of that stuff too in addition to the Gothic II Gold and the mod- download here? That's the question.

Mod will install all required files, fixes, patches etc.

Wow, that's great!

Czy planujecie wypuścić wersję działającą z płytową lub GOGową wersją gry Gothic 2 NK (taką do pobrania na dysk i zainstalowania samodzielnie)? Nie każdy ma lub chce wersje ze Steama.

Tak, na naszej stronie dostępny będzie do pobrania instalator działający z wersją GOG/CD :)

so do you make it on "union" base or on "systempack" base? can i install under "union" manualy?

[X4vv]

Chronicles of Myrtana doesn't use Union.

Will there be a GOG version?

Mod will be working also with Gothic II installed on other platforms or from CD, you will be able to download a launcher from our website.

I sort of hoped this "mod" would be similar to how Enderal or Deus Ex: Revision are. Meaning, you obviously need to own the original game to play them, but you don't need to install the original games (like Skyrim or the original Deus Ex). If you did install them though, you could play both the game and the total conversion by simply launching what you wanted.

As I understand, for this mod to work you need to have downloaded Gothic 2 already. Couldn't you do anything to make it "standalone" like the examples I've given above?

EDIT: So basically if you want Chronicles you download and it gets all necessary files so you can play. If you also download Gothic 2 you can play each of them whenever you want. I'm including this edit because some people were confused by what I meant a few time ago.

actually you need to install original deus ex for revision, just tested. For Nehrim you need Oblivion, but not for Enderal.
And that not too bad, just have downloaded game in library what actually size is 3gb not that big.

Ah, haven't played Revision in a while. And yes, simply having Chronicles on Steam is great for a lot of reasons, easy and quick installation, and visibility.
But still, it would be nice to be made standalone in the way of Enderal, basically being a diferent game and allowing to play both Chronicles and Gothic simply by launching what you want through the Steam Library.

You have to install original game. We're still using some original asset within Night of the Raven, so it's nedded to lunch the mod
