LeGo Setup

Danger

LeGo depends on Ikarus script packet, if you didn't install it yet check the Ikarus Setup. This guide assumes that you already have Ikarus running.

Download

First you need to download LeGo from the official github repository. We recommend using the dev branch as it contains the latest and most up-to-date version of the package. However, you can also download a specific release if needed.

File location

If you followed the Ikarus Setup guide you probably have a "MOD" (or any other named) folder inside the <Gothic-dir>\_work\Data\Scripts\Content directory. If not create it.

Unpack the downloaded files into this folder. The archiver should create a folder named LeGo-dev or LeGo-X.X.X. For better readability change its name to just LeGo.

Tip

It's a good practice to delete any unused files, so delete files for other gothic version than this you are using.

Parsing

LeGo has a special header files, one for each supported engine version. All you need to do is to include them in Gothic.src right after the Ikarus files.

Initialization

Before you can use LeGo and its packages, it must be properly initialized.

Warning

Gothic 1 by default doesn't have its own INIT_GLOBAL function inside Startup.d file. If you haven't created it yet see how to do it here.

You initialize LeGo by calling the LeGo_Init(var int flags) function and specifying the flags.

With LeGo_All flag you initialize all packages, excluding experimental Buffs and Render.

Startup.d

FUNC VOID INIT_GLOBAL()
{
    // Init Ikarus
    MEM_InitAll ();
    // Init LeGo
    LeGo_Init(LeGo_All)
};

By the bitwise NOT operator you can exclude specific packages from LeGo_All flag.

{
    // Init Ikarus
    MEM_InitAll ();
    // Init LeGo
    LeGo_Init(LeGo_All &~ (LeGo_Focusnames | LeGo_Bloodsplats));
};

You could also init specific packages with bitwise OR.
