In a clean installation, the issue described here (https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/discussions/570) still persists.

Hi, @versable !

Yes, at the moment opengothic uses hard-coded paths to system scripts. For example:

// fightaidefinitions.cpp
FightAi::FightAi() {
  auto vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("Fight.dat");

[versable]

@Try Would all these files be affected by mod INIs?

$ grep -Iir 'Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm'
game/ui/menuroot.cpp:  vm     = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("MENU.DAT", ScriptLang(vmLang));
game/game/definitions/sounddefinitions.cpp:  auto vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("Sfx.dat");
game/game/definitions/visualfxdefinitions.cpp:  vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("VisualFx.dat");
game/game/definitions/cameradefinitions.cpp:  auto vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("Camera.dat");
game/game/definitions/musicdefinitions.cpp:  vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("Music.dat");
game/game/definitions/particlesdefinitions.cpp:  vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("ParticleFx.dat");
game/game/definitions/fightaidefinitions.cpp:  auto vm = Gothic::inst().createPhoenixVm("Fight.dat");

Hi, @versable !

Actually... I don't know for sure. General assumption, that game suppose to pull "*.dat" files from virtual-file system and vdfs in gothic ignores full path.
