Welcome to the NAWA documentation!

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

Currently known issues please read

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

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

How to obtain these files:

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:

gud lookin folder brotha

You can now safely delete the extracted CPK folder


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, please also select a save file from your "documents/my games/nierautomata" folder they are called "Slot_Data_X" where as X is a number, 0 is the first 1 the middle and 3 the last file in the menu
