Toolkit to serve workarounds for story bugs in Gothic, Gothic Sequel, Gothic 2, and Gothic 2 NotR.

This is a modular modification (a.k.a. patch or add-on) that can be installed and uninstalled at any time and is virtually compatible with any modification.

It supports Gothic 1, Gothic Sequel, Gothic II (Classic) and Gothic II: NotR.

Generated from [szapp/patch-template](https://github.com/szapp/patch-template).

## About

This patch provides various methods for workarounds to handle story bugs in game mods.

It is especially useful to introduce workarounds to common story bugs in mods (e.g. close a dead quest, reset a dialog that was spoken too early, change the value of a variable, etc.).

Until the mod team can provide a fix, this patch is a great temporary solution for critical bugs.

In itself, this patch does not perform any action.

Only in case of problems with a mod, the patch becomes useful.

Even then, the problem may only be fixed with clear instructions from the mod developers for a temporary solution.

The patch essentially allows to call any script function from the console.

Along-side a few helper functions.

## Features

- Close quests

- Mark dialogs as told/untold

- Display or modify the contents of variables/constants

- Call any script function

## Console commands

  

    

      DIA TOGGLE [C_INFO]

      Toggle told-status of C_Info dialog

    

    

      CALL [FUNCTION] [ARG1] [ARG2] [...]

      Call any Daedalus or external function

    

    

      CALL SETI "[VARNAME]" [NEWVALUE]

      Set integer variable to a new value
