How to use:
All gestures are performed by the Honest Merchant; who is the corpse
by the gate that needs the tower key in the Firelink Shrine.

--Bow: Opens Honest Fully Unlocked Infusion Menu
Additional features that need to be turn on in the ini file are:

--Rest: Opens Honest Alter Appearance Menu
--Joy: Opens Honest Undead Match Menu (this opens offline too but fails to find a match)
How to install:
1) copy HonestMerchant.dll and honestMerchant.ini into the same folder as DarkSoulsIII.exe
2) rename HonestMerchant.dll to dinput8.dll
2a) if you already have a dinput8 based mod, you can rename that file to
otherMod.dll and load it with Honest Merchant in the
honestMerchant.ini file by setting dll=otherMod.dll
Known bugs:
-Progressing quests that reveal more of a shops inventory can sometimes not update the shop. To fix this simply relaunch the game.
Q&A:
Q: Does this work on consoles?
A: No, I have no plans to try and figure out how to even move this to a console.
Q: My copy of the game isn't the retail steam copy of Dark Soul 3, will it work?
A: I have no idea, I only support the steam licensed version of Dark Souls 3.
Q: Can I install other mods with this mod?
A: Mods that don't add additional weapons/items/armor should be fine (example: wexdust is fine since it replaces repair powder) mods that do add items may make this mod display invalid or corrupt items. This isn't absolutely true but more of a guide, since I cannot test every mod, nor do I plan to.
Q: Can this mod ban me?
A: In testing CE versions of this mod and previous and current revisions of the dll. None of the accounts involved have been banned across the weeks of testing, so 99. 99% sure this is safe to use, 0. 01% unsure for plausible deniability.
