edit: moved list to first post, easier to follow up.
edit 2: merged with #944 by @marekpilarz493-hue.
Referenced item numbers from #944 everywhere in parentheses so anyone jumping between the two threads can find the original description quickly (probably forgot some but tried my best).

I know Gothic 1 is out of scope for the opengothic engine project. However, it does work extremely well by now, allowing play through without large problems.
For bugs in Gothic 1 using opengothic, how are we going to manage them here?

open a normal bug ticket with a Gotic 1 indicator?
open one ticket gathering Gothic 1 bugs potentially to work on in the future?
out of scope, no reason to track Gothic 1 bugs?

I am in favour of option 2 for bugs as it allows collection, allows link to PR of potential contributors.

For adaptations to G1, I am not sure how to handle things that are different in a "pure" G1 experience but work "the G2 way".
Examples:

inventory management with grid/table instead of single column
trading treats ore like gold, causing infinite ore availability for merchants

Should we gather those as well? I personally do not need those fixed but I notice them and it would probably be an easy task to write them down (for purists to be able to fix them)

Hi, @Abendlied !

We already have had some experience with combining way too may small bugs into a single long issue. While 'pure' №2 is not an good option, people may raise issue here first (or separated discussion, for that mater), end then I'll spawn issues from it.

Btw, for

inventory management with grid/table instead of single column
trading treats ore like gold, causing infinite ore availability for merchants

feel free to open issues and mark them as G1 :)

Should work now. Vanilla equips best weapon instead of Uriziel directly. Problem was items were ranked by gold value instead of stats. This was fixed in 597c82b.

Happens with charged URIZIEL as well, when speaking with lester.

I would assume similar root cause, only with charged weapon now.

Regarding item 6 (Tarrok), I see he is already immortal, so that would not help.

instance FreemineOrc(C_NPC)
{
	//-------- primary data --------
	name =	"Ork Sklave";
	guild =	GIL_NONE;  
	level =	3;
	flags = NPC_FLAG_IMMORTAL;
	voice =	17;
	ID	  =	2101;

	//---------	abilities --------
	attribute[ATR_STRENGTH]			=		90;
	attribute[ATR_DEXTERITY]		=		20;
	
	attribute[ATR_HITPOINTS_MAX]	=		250;
	attribute[ATR_HITPOINTS]		=		10;

	protection[PROT_EDGE]			=		15;
	protection[PROT_BLUNT]			=		15;
	protection[PROT_POINT]			=		5;
	protection[PROT_FIRE]			=		7;
	protection[PROT_MAGIC]			=		0;
//	talents					=		0;`

I am not really sure what happens but I think Tarrok is actually consuming the medicine. For the player (non-Orc), the medicine kills instantly. For Orcs it should restore to full HP.

INSTANCE	OrcMedicine(C_ITEM)
{
	name 				= "Ork-Medizin";
	mainflag 			= ITEM_KAT_POTIONS;
	flags 				= ITEM_MISSION;
	value 				= 0;	
	visual 				= "ITFO_POTION_STRENGTH_01.3DS";
	material 			= MAT_GLAS;
	on_state[0]			= UseOrcMedicine;
	scemeName			= "POTION";
	description			= name;
	TEXT[0]				= "Wirkung: unbekannt";
};
func void UseOrcMedicine ()
{
	if (C_NpcIsOrc(self))
	{
		self.attribute[ATR_HITPOINTS] = self.attribute[ATR_HITPOINTS_MAX];
	}
	else
	{
		Npc_ChangeAttribute	(self,ATR_HITPOINTS,-self.attribute[ATR_HITPOINTS_MAX]);
	};
};

Guild is GIL_NONE which makes the orc check C_NpcIsOrc(self) fail. Need to check if in vanilla Tarrok is fully healed or health is unchanged due to immortality.

Ok check is failing in vanilla too but health is still restored...

exactly @thokkat , this one is confusing. Other orc slaves are in guild GIL_ORCSLAVE. Potentially an oversight in the vanilla game.

instance Orc_2001_Sklave(Npc_Default)
{
	//-------- primary data --------
	
	name =							"Ork Sklave";
	slot =							"Orc Slave";
	guild =							GIL_ORCSLAVE;      
	level =							3;
	flags =							0;
	voice =							17;
	ID	  =							2001;

I want to check in vanilla G1 if Tarrok is down to 10HP, should be as fast check with entering the free mine (using k) and then taking control over Tarrok (using o) but currently I get Access violation after I uninstalled all kinds of fixes like union, community patch etc, preventing me from starting the game. Will get back after I fixed it on my side.

Tarrok has full health, so one bug covered another :D. I've pushed a PR to respect immortality which solves the freeze and Tarrok is no longer dying. Unfortunately health stays low, this can only be fixed by a script patch.

11. Two handed run-attack is interpreted as a kick with kick animation

kick animation comes in all three 2h training modes. Damage seems equal to regular melee hit from my observations.

I added a video, 2 sec, 1.5 MiB:

2H doesn't even work in vanilla. Animation does not exist for humans only for orcs. Probably they just forgot to add it since it's working in G2. Fist run attack animation is used as fallback.

Abendlied Aug 12, 2024

Interesting, thanks once again for checking, thokkat. Now that I think of it, G1 was intended as keyboard only, mouse control was only added weeks before release. With the original keyboard control setup I cannot even do a run attack in classic Gothic 1, as it is [CTRL] + [↑], for which I have to interrupt running. So technically I would always hit from a standing position.

If the animation does not exist in the base game, we can probably dismiss this item.

Regarding 18. Magic

Destroy Undead:
Spells_Params.d lists damage for individual spells.
const int SPL_DAMAGE_MASSDEATH = 200; const int SPL_DAMAGE_BREATHOFDEATH = 100; const int SPL_DAMAGE_DESTROYUNDEAD = 9999;

effectively a one hit skill.
Can this be the reason why it even kills Grash-Varrag-Arushat (5th undead priest)? Or is this another immortal/important flag miss?

INSTANCE Spell_DestroyUndead(C_Spell_Proto) { time_per_mana = 250; damage_per_level = SPL_DAMAGE_DESTROYUNDEAD; spelltype = SPELL_NEUTRAL; damageType = DAM_MAGIC; targetCollectAlgo = TARGET_COLLECT_FOCUS_FALLBACK_NONE; targetCollectRange = 1500; // 15m targetCollectType = TARGET_TYPE_UNDEAD; };

I did not find how the check for tartegCollectType actually filters effectively.

Uriziel Magic
Spell_New1 is effectively an exact copy of BreathOfDead, so I guess the observed damage on the target is the intended behaviour. From my memory it was an area of effect damage spell but I might have confused it.

I did not find how the check for tartegCollectType actually filters effectively.

From testing it seems this prevents target focus. Changing either priest guild to skeleton or targetCollectType to TARGET_TYPE_ORCS allows targeting and priest can be killed in vanilla. Use of TargetCollectType is unimplemented in OpenGothic because it's unused in Gothic 2.

High armor prevents other damage.

	protection	[PROT_BLUNT]		=	1000;
	protection	[PROT_EDGE]		=	1000;
	protection	[PROT_POINT]		=	1000;
	protection	[PROT_FIRE]		=	1000;
	protection	[PROT_FLY]		=	1000;
	protection	[PROT_MAGIC]		=	100;

19. is once again (surprise) a script bug. Checking for quest success instead of player guild.

{
	if ( Npc_KnowsInfo(hero,DIA_Milten_PERM) && (CorKalom_BringMCQBalls != LOG_SUCCESS) )

	{
		return 1;
	};
};

Thanks @thokkat, that makes sense! Instead they should test for && (Npc_GetTrueGuild (other)!=GIL_KDF), however they would need to test for GIL_STT (shadow) and GIL_GRD (guard) too alone from the old camp, plus also all possible NC and SC guilds. Probably they wanted to find a more elegant way and went with the quest, with this oversight.
Most elegant way I could think of is to check for Npc_GetTrueGuild != GIL_NONE.

Same with Thorus bribe (1000 ore) dialogue option:

{	
	if (Npc_KnowsInfo(hero,Info_Thorus_EnterCastle) && (Npc_GetTrueGuild (other)!=GIL_STT) && (Npc_GetTrueGuild (other)!=GIL_GRD) )
	{
		return 1;
	};
};

Does not have GIL_KDF as condition (or bandit amulet or SC):


FUNC INT Info_Thorus_Give1000Ore_Condition()
{	
	if (Npc_KnowsInfo(hero,Info_Thorus_BribeGuard))
	{
		return 1;
	};
};

Noticed in G1:

func void  DIA_EXTRO_AVI ()
{
	PlayVideo ( "Extro.bik");
	PlayVideo ( "PlayerOut.bik");
	PlayVideo ( "Credits.bik");
	ExitGame(); //Beendet Spiel
};

Problem, that in opengothic ExitGame is immediate command and will halt the game as soon as executed. Videos, however are deferred, so they have no chance to do anything.

I tried to referenced item numbers from #944 everywhere in parentheses so anyone jumping between the two threads can find the original description quickly. I also captured the reporter and linked to original discussions wherever possible.
