Spine Mod Manager - Courtesy of the Clockwork Origins team - Website:
Spine is a modification manager for Gothic 1 and 2. It makes installation and updates of Gothic modifications much easier and has a huge library of modifications both for Gothic 1 and 2 in German, English and Polish language. The Russian modification list in Spine is not that big so far. It allows easy combination of several graphic patches with modifications without copying files manually or maintaining multiple Gothic installations. Spine also allows modders to use several new features like achievements, highscores and multiplayer.
Spine is written in C++ and uses the Qt framework for its graphical user interface.

After more than a month of work and with a lot of support from other mod developers, my project Spine has now achieved all the desired features and I would like to introduce it to a wider audience.
Spine is the replacement for the good old GothicStarter. Both modifications for Gothic and Gothic II can be installed directly from Spine and then start without having to load an installer and possibly even manually move files. In addition, some modifications have been slightly optimized in terms of downloads, so as not to load many unnecessary files.
For some of my old modifications as well as numerous new appearing modifications, the Spine version of the modification will also offer new, exclusive features. These include achievements and rankings (for modifications such as Elemental War and JiBo). First modifications with new features will be released soon.
It is recommended to use spines with a clean Gothic installation and then only use spines. Only then will the full potential of Spine really be exploited.
The important improvements compared to the GothicStarter:
Download Sources:
- Automatic update to the report version => Never again problems due to wrong version
- Install mods and play with just one click
- Configuration of texture patches per mod quite simple
- New features: achievements, scores / rankings (only for modifications that support these features)
- Only one more starter for Gothic 1 and 2
- Partly optimized mods downloads, which load less unnecessary files, than that does with some modifications of the Installer
- News about mods and their teams directly in Spine
- Mod Info pages
- Import and export of modifications possible (backup)
