HOW TO INSTALL:

Download: Required Tools
Download KH1 PC Patch Manager here: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager/releases/tag/v1.2.0
PC Patch Manager Info: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager

Download Lua Frontend here: https://github.com/TopazTK/LuaFrontend/releases/tag/v1.15
(The mod probably works with Lua Backend as well, but I have not personally tried Backend)

Download: Required Files
- Go to the 'Files' tab at the top of this webpage. Download 'ReverseRebirthScripts.rar' and 'ReverseRebirthkh1pcpatch.rar'
- Extract 'ReverseRebirth.kh1pcpatch' to the same folder as your KHPCPatchManager.exe

Modding Your Game
- Extract 'ReverseRebirth.kh1pcpatch' into the same folder as KHPCPatchManager.exe from the Kh1 PC Patch Manager you downloaded earlier.
- MAKE SURE you place the .txt files in your  resources folder, described in Step 2 of KH PC Patch Manager's install instructions.
Here is the download for the .txt files: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager/raw/main/resources.zip
- Drag 'ReverseRebirth.kh1pcpatch' onto KHPCPatchManager.exe. This will open up a window.
- Find the "Epic Games" folder on your computer, and the "KH_1.5_2.5' folder inside of it.
- In the KH_1.5_2.5 folder, open up the "Image" folder
- Inside the "Image" folder is a folder named "en". Drag and drop this "en" folder onto the black command window that was opened by KHPCPatchManager.exe, then hit enter.

It should start patching the game, and after a while say "Done!". If it doesn't start, or seems to get stuck, try hitting enter one more time.


Activating The Mod

Now that the required files have been patched in, you can activate the mod using Lua Frontend that you downloaded earlier.

- Extract the contents of LuaFrontend.v1.15.rar to anywhere you want.
- Open up "ReverseRebirthScripts.rar" you downloaded earlier, and extract all the files inside it into the "kh1gl" folder of Lua Frontend's "scripts" folder.


Installation Successful!

Now any time you want to play the mod, simply open up Lua Frontened and select "Start Engine" under the "Engine" tab in the top left. Then, open up KH1.5 and the mod will be active. (You may need to hit Reload in the Engine tab on the top left at the title screen to fully activate it)

- Do not sort your abilities on Riku, this can cause them to be deleted!
- Use L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start to soft reset. If you use "Quit to title" the mod will become disabled.
- You must use the default confirmation control button X, not O.
- Only Has English Language
