Description
Nightreign Armament Helper is an Overlay mod for Elden Ring: Nightreign that is safe to use ONLINE and with EAC ENABLED. It aims to help players choose the best armaments for the character they are using. It does this in a very simple manner, by displaying three separate icons directly on top of the armament's image.
Additionally, the mod also provides an Advanced Mode that in addition to the simple recommendation icons, also displays an armament's type and stats.
Note: The Advanced Mode being enabled does not impact performance in any way, so feel free to enable it if you prefer.
Recommendations:
The mod also implements an eventual responsiveness method that learns, through analysis of perfect OCR matches, a set of reference points to detect the same text in the future without having to call the OCR again. These reference points are stored in the user's %LOCALAPPDATA% folder, persisting across game sessions.
Note: If the resolution of the screen is changed, the mod will have to relearn all the reference points for the new resolution.
How to use
The mod does not require any installation. Simply download the latest version of the NightreignArmamentHelper.exe file from the GitHub Releases page or from Nexus Mods and execute it while Elden Ring: Nightreign is running.
The mod will immediately start working, attempting to detect the character being chosen and the armament being viewed.
IMPORTANT: The overlay requires the game to be running in BORDERLESS WINDOWED mode to work correctly.
Additionally, you may verify and/or manually change the currently selected character through the very discreet dropdown menu in the top left corner of the screen.
Furthermore, an additional window containing a control panel for the mod will appear. This window allows you to perform the following actions:
Common Questions
How does it work?
The mod uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to detect several elements on the screen, such as the currently opened menu, the character name (only on the character selection screen), and the armament name.
It then uses this information to determine which weapon the player is currently looking at and which character they are using. Based on this information, it then displays the icons mentioned above.
It is also important to note that the mod defines the categories "great" and "decent" based on a custom mathematical algorithm, which sometimes may not match the player's expectations. If you think that a weapon should be marked as "great" or "decent" but it is not, please open an issue on GitHub.
Will I get banned for using this mod?
No, you will not get banned for using this mod. The mod does not modify the game files in any way, and it does not interact with the game's memory. It simply reads the screen and displays information based on that.
Extensions
As of version 2.2.0, Nightreign Armament Helper supports extensions to customize the information provided for each armament. Extensions allow you to define custom logic for displaying icons or text based on the detected armament/item/talisman and character, in order to better suit your preferences. The following is an example of what an extension can do:
Unfortunately, you will have to be somewhat familiar with programming to create extensions, as they must be written in Python. However, I urge anyone to try creating their own extension, as it may be easier than you think!
How Extensions Work
Extensions are Python files placed in the extensions folder. The mod automatically loads these files and checks for specific functions that match predefined specifications. If your extension implements these functions correctly, they will be used by the mod.
The necessary documentation to implement an extension can be found here. Please read it carefully before attempting to create your own extension.

- ✔️: The weapon's stats are a decent match for the character's stats.
- ⭐: The weapon's stats are a great match for the character's stats.
- ?: The weapon is of the type preferred by the character.
Additionally, the mod also provides an Advanced Mode that in addition to the simple recommendation icons, also displays an armament's type and stats.
Note: The Advanced Mode being enabled does not impact performance in any way, so feel free to enable it if you prefer.
Recommendations:
- The basic mode is recommended for newer players, as it is simpler and easier to understand at a glance.
- The advanced mode is recommended for experienced players who want to see more information about the armament they are using, such as its type and stats.
The mod also implements an eventual responsiveness method that learns, through analysis of perfect OCR matches, a set of reference points to detect the same text in the future without having to call the OCR again. These reference points are stored in the user's %LOCALAPPDATA% folder, persisting across game sessions.

Furthermore, an additional window containing a control panel for the mod will appear. This window allows you to perform the following actions:
- Temporarily disable/enable the mod, without closing it.
- Disable/enable the automatic detection of the character.
- Disable/enable the advanced mode, which shows additional information about the armament.
- Fully stop the mod.

Limitations
- Display Mode: For the overlay to be correctly shown on top of the game window, the game MUST BE RUNNING IN BORDERLESS WINDOWED mode.
- Ground items: Items found in the ground show their details in varying locations, making it difficult to detect them in a both efficient and accurate way. Therefore, the mod DOES NOT SUPPORT THE DETECTION OF ITEMS FOUND ON THE GROUND. To circumvent this, you can simply pick up the item and then open the inventory to view its details.
- Language: The mod is designed to work with the ENGLISH version of Elden Ring: Nightreign. It may not work correctly with other languages, as the OCR is trained on English text.
- Responsiveness: The mod is designed to be as efficient and responsive as possible, using multiple methods to avoid unnecessary OCR calls. However, it may sometimes take half a second to detect the armament and show the corresponding icons. This is due to the nature of OCR and the fact that it needs to analyze the screen in real-time.
- Accuracy: The mod uses OCR to detect text on the screen, which is not always 100% accurate. This means that it may sometimes fail to detect the armament or the character correctly. To mitigate this, we use the Jaccard similarity algorithm to account for small inaccuracies in the OCR results. During our testing, we found that the mod seems to always be able to detect the armament and character correctly, but there may be some edge cases where this fails.
