First, saved games dir:
C:Program FilesPiranha-BytesGothicSaves
The files that Matter:
OLDMINE.SAV - the oldmine level
SAVEDAT.SAV - the quest info
WORLD.SAV - the main Gothic world
EXAMPLE
Savegame1 - You are standing infront of the grate now blocking enterance to the old mine as it has been destroyed.
Now using the meatbug spell change into a bug and crawl up to the grate, aim between the gaps until you can go no further, turn the bug 180 degs and then press 'RETURN'.
You should now be facing the enterance to the mine ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GRATE.
savegame2 -On other side of the grate.
Walk down until the mine level loads
savegame3 -Just inside the mine (Old Character)
NOW RESTART A NEW GAME and after talking to Domez
RUN RUN RUN all the way to the Old Mine, and enter the Old Mine.
savegame4 -Just inside the mine (New Character)
Quit the Game
DELETE savegame5 Directory
COPY savegame4 Dir and call it savegame5
NOW copy savegame3/OLDMINE.SAV into savegame5
Reload Gothic and LOAD savegame5
There is your Character in the Oldmine,
turn around and walk back out into the World.
savegame1 - Old Character in Virgin Gothic World.
exit game
Delete savegame1/OLDMINE.SAV
And There You Go.
*****************************************
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SKILLS THEN ALSO
COPY SAVEDAT.SAV FROM savegame2 into savegame1.
HOWEVER DO THIS ONLY IF YOU WANT TO KILL MOST OF THE CREATURES
(ie THE OLD CAMP) AS THE SCRIPTS WILL BE OUT OF SYNC.
*****************************************
Have lots of fun.

Enter marvin mode then type 'hero export NAME', that saves your char with the name given.
Then type 'hero import NAME', to import the saved character with the name you gave. |

Go to your character stats screen - the one with your level, exp, etc. - then type in "marvin" (without the quotes.) Once you leave the stats screen, you should see the phrase "marvin-mode" in the upper-left corner of your screen. |

Type 's' for the character screen. Type 'marvin' (you will not see the text), then type 's' again. Marvin-mode and a console will appear at the top of the screen.

Actually it doesn't work properly to just insert your saved hero, you also gotta insert the letter for the fire mages and get rid of any quest items you have on him (like uriziel, the key to the temple, gomez's keys etc). In addition to this you have to edit your character's guild, you have to be be in guild (none) or else you will not get any quests. To do this you can use the set guild command. You also need to get rid of the ore armor since its been modified by a quest.
Once your character is 'clean' export him and start a new game and import him. Though I dont see where the fun in that is! |
