Welcome to the NAWA documentation!

Please follow the next couple steps to setup NAWA and make be able to use it.

[https://github.com/EM4Volts/NAWA/wiki/Issues](Currently known Issues, please read)

Ensure you have a working installation of Python 3.10+

NAWA relies on a couple of files from the base game, thoose are:

core/core.dat core/coregm.dat ui/ui_core_use.dat

These files can be obtained in two ways.

Recommended way: Unpacking them from your game CPK's

not using this way may result in some voicelines not working ingame

Download the following tool from its GitHub release page CriPakGui

Open CriPakGui.exe and in the top right select File > Open CPK.

Navigate to your NieR: Automata data folder and select data009.cpk.

Extract it somewhere then copy ui_core_us.dat from the ui folder of the unpacked CPK into NAWA's dat_files folder.

In CriPakGui open data002.cpk and extract it aswell.

Copy core.dat and coregm.dat from the core folder of the unpacked CPK into NAWA's dat_files folder

The dat_files folder should then look like this:

You can now safely delete the extracted CPK folder

---

Not so recommended way: Downloading them from somewhere

I have prepared a page on NexusMods with the files.

NexusMods

There is the possibility that you may have a different game version and thus these files are not working, thats why i recommend the method above.

IF YOU USE ANY MODS THAT INCLUDE ANY OF THESE 3 FILES PUT THAT MODS FILE INTO THE dat_files FOLDER

Launch NAWA once using NAWA_Launcher.py, use the bottom left buttons to select a folder where you will store your weapon mods aswell as selecting your games data folder

Next up follow the instructions on how to use NAWA properly to add weapons:
