📋 About This Mod
When we released UAWR (it was quite heavy) some people wanted a version with only the content that we presented directly. This mod is only weapons and armor (no sounds, no world objects and world textures, no animation files).
Before installation, REMOVE PREVIOUS VERSION AND PATCH!!
Installation: put UAWR LIGHT in the DATA folder, put MENU UAWR LIGHT in DATA if desired, put NB_OPTIONAL_ARMOR_PATCH in AUTORUN (strongly recommend)
Archive contents:
MENU UAWR LIGHT - an optional file containing the menu screen, save and load screen from UAWR LIGHT. Without it, the screens will be from NB. NB_OPTIONAL_ARMOR_PATCH - this is a patch containing functions that allow you to wear helmets, capes, crowns with some armor that did not allow this (armor of darkness, St. John's wort hunter)
UAWR LIGHT - main file (without it there is no content)))
If you want to download the version with all the fixes and adjustments based on feedback from viewers of Centurion + himself and forum visitors on different textures and world models (content from NB and GTR) - here is a link to our work https://www.nexusmods.com/gothic2/mods/45?tab=posts
The main advantage is that you will be able to enjoy the UAWR armor and weapons and NB and GTR environments and textures in any other Gothic 2 mod (and in itself). Of course, not everything can be replaced, but most of the content should get into the game)).
It makes no sense to post screenshots of everything here, you can see the full gallery on the page of the full version of UAWR (follow the link, be sure to rate it).
Thank you for your attention)

2). 5 out of 6 capes have undergone changes: the ore mask has been moved closer to the face, 4 new hood models)Many weapon changes:1) New models for duals from the latest update, another Ancient Ax (for the water keeper) + new high-quality textures for mercenary axes in the style of the first Gothic;2) 6 new orc guns (improved models of the first Gothic + retextures);
3) Several new models of maces and hammers (one of the unused ones, and the rest from our mod for the first Gothic);
4) The textures of some swords and hatchets have been changed;
5) New models for the spell weaver, as well as one-handed weapons in the style of the first Gothic;
6) The bow “Beliar’s Claw” has its own cool model);

Bugs, edits, etc
