Smokeable Water Pipes

Smoke Swampweed Everyday — Player Water Pipe Smoking Enabled

The animations were always there. The devs just never let you inhale.

Thanks to the Handsome Squidward for beta testing

What is this?

In vanilla Gothic 1 Remake the player can sit down at a water pipe (Fajka Wodna), hold it... and then nothing. Forever. Meanwhile every NPC around you puffs away like a Sect Camp novice on payday.

Here's the thing: the player smoking animations are fully present in the game — taking a drag, small puffs, coughing, looking around. Every single one is just flagged "do not play automatically for players" and bound to no key. So you sit in the idle pose for eternity.

This mod flips that switch. Sit at any water pipe, wait a few seconds, and your character starts smoking at the same natural pace as NPCs — drags, puffs, the occasional cough.

Features

• []Player actually smokes the water pipe, using the game's own animations[/]

  []Same randomized cadence as NPCs (a roll every 5–10 seconds)[/]

  []Fully automatic — sit down and smoke, no keypress needed[/]

  []Optional extras you can enable in the script: puff-on-left-click while smoking, manual apply/revert keys[/]

  Requirements

  • []Gothic 1 Remake (tested on build 5. 4. 3-168781, Steam)[/]

    []UE4SS installed for the game (tested with v3. 0. 1)[/]

    Installation

    • []Install UE4SS (its files go next to G1R-Win64-Shipping.exe in <game>\G1R\Binaries\Win64\)[/]

      []Extract this mod's archive into <game>\G1R\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\ so you end up with ue4ss\Mods\WaterPipePlayerSmokeEnabler\[/]

      []That's it — the bundled enabled.txt activates the mod automatically[/]

      Usage

      Use any water pipe. Wait a moment. Smoke.

      Optional (edit the top of Scripts\main.lua):

      • []ENABLE_CLICK_PUFF = true — left mouse button while smoking = take a puff almost immediately. Clicks anywhere else in the game are completely unaffected.[/]

        []ENABLE_MANUAL_KEYS = true — F7 force-applies the fix, F8 reverts it for the current sitting.[/]

        Is this safe? / Compatibility

        • []No game files, assets, or saves are modified. The change is applied in memory to a temporary interaction object the game destroys the moment you stand up.[/]

          []Delete the mod folder and the game is 100% vanilla again. Nothing to clean up.[/]

          []Touches only the water-pipe smoking interaction — no other systems, no input rebinding (by default no keybinds are registered at all).[/]

          []Coexists happily with other UE4SS and pak mods.[/]
