[size=5][font=Times New Roman][b]Fully replaces Nier with his older counterpart from the original western release of the game. Includes a full replacement of the prologue, part 1 and part 2 + dark phantasm models, both cutscene and gameplay + shadowlord + the outfits (except 9S). Also allows you to play as brother during 15 nightmares.[/b][/font][/size]
 
 
 [size=4][font=Times New Roman][b]Updated versions of the sound and text replacements are being created, and will be released once done as a complete father mod. The complete version should come entirely as a Lunar Tear mod, and extracting the game files will no longer be required for text replacement.[/b][/font][/size]
 [size=3][font=Times New Roman][b]Update: Work on the sound and text replacements is progressing smoothly. I expect it to be done by the end of July at the latest.[/b][/font][/size]
 
 [size=4][font=Times New Roman][b]This mod is not perfect. I am not a professional, and this is my first ever project with Blender and weight painting/rigging as a whole. Don't expect official-level quality, even in the final release. Even if I was better at weighting, Nier's animations and facial expressions might always look off since it's not currently possible to edit the positions of bones.[/b][/font][/size]

 [size=4][b]Install Instructions[/b][/size]
 [spoiler][list=1]
 [*][b]If you don't care about the text not being changed for now[/b]: Download the [b]lunar tear version[/b] and copy "[b]Nier Gestalt v0.9x[/b]" to your [font=Trebuchet MS][b]LunarTear&#92;Mods[/b][/font] folder. // [b]If you are planning to use the existing, buggy text mod[/b]: Download the [b]build_assets version[/b] and keep it aside for now.[/*]
 [*]Copy the files inside the [b]"Movie" [/b]folder into [font=Trebuchet MS][b]NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139&#92;data&#92;movie[/b][/font]. Back up or rename the existing files first, or replace them.[/*]
 [*]Copy the [b]media.pck file inside the "Sound" folder[/b] into [b][font=Trebuchet MS]NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139&#92;data&#92;sound[/font].[/b] Back up or rename the existing media.pck file first, or replace it. [i](This file contains gameplay nier's voice clips, such as grunting)[/i][/*]
 [*]Download either "Deadjack's Dad Voice PLUS abNA1's Original OST" or the existing version of the voice replacement mod from [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/19][b]https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/19[/b][/url] , and copy the [b]contained files (info.pck)(stream.pck, stream2.pck) [/b]into [font=Trebuchet MS][b]NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139&#92;data&#92;sound[/b][/font]. Back up or rename the existing files first, or replace them. [i](While this is technically optional, I don't see any point in playing the mod without it.)[/i][/*]
 [/list]Optional but Recommended:  Go into your game's '[b]screen[/b]' settings and set [b]LOD to max. [/b]Make sure the game's [b]audio language[/b] is [b]set to English.[/b]
 Optional: Feel free to use the included steam library assets. There is also an app icon which you can use for a desktop shortcut.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [list=1]
 [*]If you wish to install the buggy version of the existing text replacement mod, follow the basic instructions below:[/*]
 [*]Download and extract 'emil.exe' from the top of this github repo: [url=https://github.com/yretenai/kaine/releases]https://github.com/yretenai/kaine/releases[/url][/*]
 [*]Open a CMD at this folder (with the folder open, click the address bar at the top, type cmd and press enter).[/*]
 [*]Copy and paste the following command, replacing the path with your games location: emil.exe -i "CHANGE_THIS&#92;steamapps&#92;common&#92;NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139"[/*]
 [*]You should see a lot of activity in the window as the game extracts all of the files to a folder called "build_assets" in your steamapps&#92;common. Wait until it's done (it can take around 5-10 minutes), then close the window.[/*]
 [*]Rename the game's default data folder to something else, like data1. By doing this, the game will read from the extracted files in build_assets instead of its own data folder.[/*]
 [*]Check that the files inside "build_assets" generated properly. This will take up around 30GB.[/*]
 [*]Move the files inside the base games "movie" and "sound" folders into their respective folders at "build_assets&#92;rom&#92;pc".[/*]
 [*]Optional: If the extra used disk space bothers you, it should now be okay to fully delete the base data folder. If doing this, you can always bring it back by verifying the game's files.[/*]
 [*]Download the mod at [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/23]https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/23[/url] Rename the default "radio_all" and "talk_all" files to something else (if in doubt, put a 1 at the end of them), then place the included mod files "radio_all" and "talk_all" inside "build_assets&#92;rom&#92;pc&#92;snow&#92;text". Do not delete or replace the default files if you removed your data folder, as you will need to switch back to them to get past softlocks.[/*]
 [*]Copy the contents of the build_assets version of this mod you downloaded earlier into steamapps&#92;common&#92;build_assets, and replace the existing files.[/*]
 [*]While playing, SAVE CONSTANTLY. You WILL encounter softlocks (The two I know of are talking to Popola after the first shrine visit, and talking to the brothers in the junk heap after finding the mother). To get past one of these, you will have to disable the text replacement (change the data folder back to the name data to do this, or if you deleted it, switch the names of radio_all and talk_all around with their original ones), get past the softlock, save again and then re-enable it.[/*]
 [*]Other known issues include: Speaker names (The name of the character that's currently speaking) being missing or always set as the player name and any instance of the letter V being changed out for a random text string.[/*]
 [/list]The reason it has to be installed this way is that for some reason, when these two old files are compiled into a lunar tear mod, the game crashes on launch. I've tested a WIP version of the new text file with lunar tear, which does work, so hopefully as long as there are no more problems, the full version of the mod will contain everything for Lunar Tear.[/spoiler]

Nier Gestalt v0.98...

A father sets out to cure his daughter's illness. (EARLY RELEASE VERSION)

Elevna

NieR: Automata never had multiplayer. This mod adds it.
 Four players, online, in real matches. Pick 2B, 9S or A2, choose your weapons and pod programs, and fight something that thinks back. The combat system you finished the game with turns out to be a genuine fighting game when the opponent is human.
 
 [youtube]LPtBBkYYiLI[/youtube]
 
 [b]How it works[/b]
 No position syncing, no health packets. The mod sends controller inputs only, and every client simulates the same deterministic game — the same rollback approach fighting games use online. This build runs 4x faster than last year's version and rolls back ~90% less often. If you tried the mod in 2024 and it was rough: that version is gone.
 This isn't scripts taped onto the game. It's been reverse-engineered since 2022 and rebuilt in Rust, running against a quarter million lines of generated bindings to the real engine.
 
 [b]Getting in[/b]
 Download, run the launcher, press play.
 The launcher exists for one reason: rollback requires both players to be on identical builds, so it keeps versions matched automatically. It's open source, and every build comes from a public CI pipeline — [url=https://gitlab.yasupa.de/nams/nams-rs]read the code if you want[/url].
 Opponents, lobbies and tournaments live on [url=https://discord.com/invite/XKFgKYrQ99]Discord[/url]. First brackets already happened — 16 players, streamed.
 
 [b]Where this is going[/b]
 PvP is stage one. Story co-op — the full campaign, playable together — is in development. Progress lands on [url=https://discord.com/invite/XKFgKYrQ99]Discord[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/@yorhanetwork]YouTube[/url].
 If you want to fund that work: [url=https://www.patreon.com/yorhanetwork]Patreon[/url]. The mod is free and stays free.

YoRHa Network

Online PvP for NieR: Automata. Rollback netcode, up to 16 Players, full character and loadout selection. Built from reverse-engineered game code, in Rust, since 2022.

 A tool that extends NieR Replicant's modding capabilities

 [size=5][u]Features[/u][/size]
 
 [list]
 [*][size=3]Unlock framerate[/size][/*]
 [*][size=3]Texture injection[/size][/*]
 [*][size=3]Custom archive loading[/size][/*]

 [*][size=3]Texture dumping[/size][/*]
 [*][size=3]Script and table dumping[/size][/*]
 [/list]
 [size=5][u]Install[/u][/size]
 
 Rename `LunarTearLoader.dll` to either `dxgi.dll`, `d3d11.dll`, or `dinput8.dll`. Place it in the main game directory (find by going on Steam: Settings Icon -&gt; Manage -&gt; Browse local files).
 
 (Alternatively, keep the dll name as `LunarTearLoader.dll` and use the launcher to run the game. No real reason to use this any more though)
 
 If you care about performance, you should install SpecialK too, its frame pacer is better and has other performance tweaks
 
 If you have trouble getting this to work with specialK, try naming specialk d3d11.dll and lunar tear dxgi.dll
 
 
 [size=5][u]Install Mods[/u][/size]
 
 Launch game once to generate folders. Install mods by dropping the folder with the files in `[Game]/LunarTear/mods/`. For conflicting files, the alphabeticaly last file is loaded and a warning is logged. If a mod requires a plugin, you will have to enable plugins in [Game]/LunarTear/LunarTear.ini
 
 Any texture mod that was made for SpecialK injection is compatible, just put all the dds files in a single folder and put that in `mods/`
 
 Some small, simple mods i made not worthy of their own nexus page are included in the "Optional mods" file.
