 Thank you to the Special K and Nier Modding Discord servers for helping me out.
 Extra thanks to DevolasRevenge for making the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/48]Goth Kaine mod[/url] in the first place. Without the mod installation guide there I would never have figured this out
 
 Installation guide (heavily based on the aforementioned Goth Kaine mod's guide):
 1. Download and local install Special K. [url=https://wiki.special-k.info/SpecialK/Local]Here is a tutorial[/url]. Downloading the latest version should work fine.
 ﻿For Step 5 in the tutorial, Nier Replicant uses a 64-bit executable and the DirectX 11 API. 
 ﻿For Step 7, rename the DLL file to d3d11.dll. dxgi.dll will not work
 
 2. Download the mod file you chose. Pick one texture folder within the mod file. You cannot inject more than one of a given texture at a time.
 ﻿Find the file location of your game (the same place you put d3d11.dll earlier). Then, starting from there, place your chosen texture folder in SK_Res&#92;inject&#92;textures. If you are missing folders, create them
 
 3. Start the game, load up a save, and then press CTRL-SHIFT-BACKSPACE to open the SpecialK menu. Click on "Render Mod Tools", then click on "Reload All Injected Textures"
 [list]
 [*]"Reload All Injected Textures" should be beside "Clear Debug". It should show up, but if you can't see it, go to the bottom right ﻿corner of the window and drag the little triangle. That should allow you to resize the window so you can reach the button.
 [/list]
 Kainé should have her new clothes on. If not:
 
 [list]
 [*]You may have put the texture folder in the wrong place. In the Special K menu go to File -&gt; Browse Texture Assets -&gt; Injectable Textures. This will open up the location the texture folder needs to be in for it to work. It will still work if it's in a subfolder. ﻿Restart the game afterwards if you're moving the file over while it's still running.
 [/list][list]
 [*]From what I've personally seen, you don't need to downgrade your game for the texture injection to work, but it might be worth ﻿a shot, so [url=https://mega.nz/file/hdMSGJYB#kbNwoPSu08ZDzpK9yjHw9UApZ05-rLkujbOlVK1iQOw]here's the exe file for an older build[/url]. This link is directly taken from the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/48]Goth Kaine mod[/url].
 [/list][list]
 [*]Feel free to ask me questions! I probably forgot to add something
 [/list]
 [size=3]Fix for [size=3]Alt Kainé models[/size]: 
 [/size]When the alternate Kainé is on screen, open the Special K menu and click Render Mod Tools. Find the hexadecimal name of the texture in the list (dec284d7 for lingerie, 471a7cb6 for leg brace + arm warmers. The list is in alphanumeric order, numbers before letters). You may have to click "All Textures" and then "Refresh Textures" for it to show up.
 Make the window large enough for you to see a picture of the texture. Then, if the "Reload Texture" button (NOT the "Reload All Injected Textures" button) is available for that texture, click it, and it should work, at least for a while.
 If the button is not available/you only see a "Dump Texture to Disk" button, then the fix is not available this time. It's a bit of a toss-up, unfortunately.

Cat Paws Bracers

Seek877

[size=5]What does it do?
 [/size][list]
 [*]Using an item requires and consumes a full bar of MP
 [*]MP is slightly recovered on hitting enemies
 [*]Passive MP recovery is slowed
 [*]Player health is reduced
 [*]MP is fixed to 100
 [/list]Features can be adjusted and disabled easily, however that currently requires compiling from source.
 
 
 [size=4][size=5]How to use it?[/size]
 [/size][list=1]
 [*]Back up save files (this mod shoudn't change them at all, but you should always do this for any mod you use)
 [*]Either download the precompiled files or compile yourself
 [*]Move [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore.dll[/code] and [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore_launcher.exe[/code] into your game installation folder. On steam, this is found by opening game page, clicking the gear and pressing [code]Browse Local Files[/code]
 [*]Open [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore_launcher.exe[/code] to play the game in hardcore mode. (you might need steam to be already open before this)
 [*]In game, set difficulty to Hard (You don't have to, if you want to try making it a little easier you could set it lower, but everything was
 tested with ingame difficulty on Hard)[/list]
 If you want to stop using the mod for a bit, just load the game up any normal way you would. This mod shouldn't affect save files at all, so you can swap between using this mod or not as much as you like. To uninstall, just delete [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore.dll[/code] and [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore_launcher.exe[/code]
 [size=5]Bugs / Issues
 [/size][list]
 [*]There are small portions of the game where MP bar is not displayed. MP is still tracked, however this can make it difficult to see when you are able to use an item. These sections are short and easy so I don't see this as a huge problem.
 [/list][size=5]Troubleshooting
 [/size][quote]Error when starting process. Error Message: The system cannot find the file specified.[/quote][quote]Error when launching process. Error message: DLL not found.[/quote]These errors imply it was not installed correctly. Make sure [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore.dll[/code] and [code]NieR_Replicant_Hardcore_launcher.exe[/code] are in the same folder as [code]NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.exe[/code]
 [quote]Error when opening window handle. Error message: Handle is null.[/quote]Try making sure steam is already open before you open the launcher.
 
 If you encounter any other issue or these steps don't fix it, then its my fault and iv made a mistake somewhere and id appreciate it if you let me know by commenting on the nexus page.
 
 
 [size=5]Future additions / ideas[/size]
 This is a list of ideas. Most of these will never be implemented (or if theywill, they would be accompanied with a buff. The aim is to make the game hard in fun ways, not just make it crushingly tough), it's just a list from me brainstorming, il publish it here so if you have any feedback on them or suggestions id love to know.
 [list]
 [*]Make settings customisable without recompiling
 [*]Limit health items to 3 each and make it so you automatically max out all 9 every time you go near a save point.
 [*]Increase protaganists attack power to reduce the annoyance of bullet sponges
 [*]Further limit MP, but increase magic damage
 [*]Increase enemy spawn rates (not sure if this is possible for someone of my reverse-engineering skill to implement but it might be worth a 
 try)[*]Buff the effects of words
 [*]Attack being blocked stuns the player
 [*]Make item drops rarer
 [*]Further lower health, to incentivise carful timing and awareness
 [/list][size=5]Compiling from source[/size]
 Install vcpkg and either set the installation path to [code]VCPKG_ROOT[/code] as an system-wide enivronment variable, or alter [code]CMakeLists.txt[/code]

Hardcore mode for NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139

This is a mod that makes NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 harder in interesting and fun ways. Source code available on github https://github.com/ifa-ifa/NieR-Replicant-Hardcore-mod If you use this and get it to work and like it, id love to hear it. Id also love to hear if it doesnt work, or if you don't like it, so that i can try improve

This mod includes 5 different color schemes for Older Brother Nier's default outfit:
 [list]
 [*]A Nendoroid Nier color scheme
 [*]A LINE sticker Nier-inspired color scheme
 [*]A Fanfest 12022 Nier-inspired color scheme
 [*]Newly added: a Fanfest 12022 'Prince Nier'-inspired color scheme
 [*]Newly added: a Destroyer outfit A2/Original Nier Replicant inspired color scheme (request from [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/users/145595338]69goober420[/url])
 [/list]
 I took a lot of liberties with the Fan Festival one since it's so close to his base colors anyway.
 I also don't own the FanFest 12022 drama recitation books and was going based off of the pictures I could find on the internet, so there's a good chance it's just completely off, but I think it looks nice so I'm keeping it.
 
 UPDATE: I have edited the LINE Nier color scheme so it more closely matches the LINE stickers. I also added an extra texture to the Nendoroid Nier color scheme so the fur doesn't look as strange.

 [size=3]Fix for Cutscene Bro Nier model[/size][size=3]: [/size]
 When the aforementioned character is on screen, open the Special K menu and click Render Mod Tools. Find the hexadecimal name of the texture in the list. You may have to click "All Textures" and then "Refresh Textures" for it to show up.
 Make the window large enough for you to see a picture of the texture. Then, if the "Reload Texture" button (NOT the "Reload All Injected Textures" button) is available for that texture, click it, and it should work, at least for a while.
 If the button is not available/you only see a "Dump Texture to Disk" button, then the fix is not available this time. It's a bit of a toss-up, unfortunately. If the texture disappears entirely from models that already had it successfully injected,  restarting the game will fix it.

Alternate Color Schemes for Older Brother Nier

Gives Brother Nier color schemes based off of his Nendoroid, his LINE Stickers, and his appearance in the NieR:Automata FAN FESTIVAL 12022: Voices from the Verge drama recitation. Now includes 'Prince Nier' from the FAN FESTIVAL 12022 drama recitation and a color scheme based off of his original model/A2's destroyer outfit as well.
