Buff Timers Overlay

Hood Buff Timers Overlay

Tired of the small buff icons above your health bar? (yep they're there).

This mod gives you a more traditional buff tracking interface full with buff names and timers.

- pick and choose which buffs to track

- move the overlay wherever you want

- resize all the elements

- choose colors for expired (or remove them) and active timers

- among other options (I might have overdone the options)

- I've added a few presets, you can see them in the screenshots provided (you can remove the backdrop)

Installation

This mod installs the same as all the reframework based mods. Unzip the downloaded file and place the reframework folder into your game's main folder.

MonsterHunterWilds (main folder in your Steam library (right click MHWilds > manage > browse local files))

├── dinput8.dll <- main reframework file

├── MonsterHunterWilds.exe

├── reframework (folder)

│ ├── autorun (folder) <- all my mod files go in here

│ │ ├── hood_buffs_overlay.lua <- lua files go here

│ │ ├── hood_stuff (folder) <- this folder has the supporting files for my mod

│ plugins (folder)

│ ├── reframework-d2d.dll <- d2d framework here

│ data (folder)

│ ├── hood-timers-preset-bottom.json <- I included some presets

Dependencies (the 2 other mods required)

- REFramework Direct2D = https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterrise/mods/134?tab=files (you only need the plugins folder)

- Reframework = https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/93

tl;dr: If you have both reframework and d2d. Just unzip the file into your Monster Hunter Wilds folder

Open the REFramework menu by press the Insert key.

Open "Script Generated UI > Hood Overlay Settings > Overlay Settings button (for way more settings)"

- there are a few presets for those that don't want to mess around (specifically for 1920x1080 resolutions)

- I plan on adding a proper preset system at some point and a lot more buffs to track

If the timers are paused it's because you are in town. The game does this
