You could try this
Go into marvin mode, highlight the dead thing and press "o" to posses it then to heal press "F8".

let put it in the most simple way i can...
for example:
1. 'insert' a wolf
2. kill that wolf
3. go to some other place
4. come back and find that same wolf...
5. ALIVE/REGENERATED/MAX HP!
what dont i explain propertly?! |

Hey there MR.Veen,
This re-spawning is not a thing to be tampering with, if you edit the code and get it wrong, you could get an "endless loop" the characters would respawn continuously till the whole landscape was full, but before that, the game would crash as it would not be able to handle the trillions of graphical pixels required, even if you did a simple respawn like:-
SPAWNMASS (num) spawns random monsters around the player
e.g spawnmass 10 could well cause promlems or even :-
SPAWNMASS GIGA (num) some graphics cards/system memory setups might be able to handle a small number? - - - best left alone

Actually, if you check the debug data of mobs (and own char) in Marvin mode, then there are flags and values for respawning. Mostly these are turned off, i.e. have value 0. I suppose that with some testing, it would be possible to make some mobs to respawn, but it would be too much of a work to do so manually per each monster. In some data file, which controls the game overall, you could make that change as permament one, and for all mobs at once, but that requires more editing and understanding then you probably have about the game mechanics. And, yes, I don't have all the know-how about the game mechanics either myself, since I simply haven't been tinkering that much with it  |

Aivar's in Gothic and G2,
Are the daily routines for each character, if you use marvin, then focus on a character then press J in the top left of the screen will be the list of the times and the places where that character goes. These then are the exact routines that you see in the edit abilities menu, so using simple logic you could easily de-cypher them (or alter them!?)

There is alot of data in Gothic.dat file. It is compressed so it is not very easy to change a routine. I know of many, but that MOD Kit for G2 does it decompress the files so we can change them more easily?
I know where the format and flag for a NPC being immortal or killable is located and change it so they can be killed or stay immortal.
I guess the respawn could be there to in that jumble of numbers? I have not came across it yet in gothic.dat file. (I never bothered to look, maybe it would be nice to have some creatures respawn -but would it be an immediate respawn -you would want some time to pass before that happened).
