📋 About This Mod
Were you disappointed with Acidic Glavenus' Greatsword being an old bone model with skin slapped on, and not the magnificent tailblade? If so, then this mod is for you. Three variations, for maximum satisfaction.
This is literally just Acidic Glavenus' tailblade slapped onto a Greatsword handle, and it looks 99999999x better than most of MHW's Greatswords.
I've wanted to try making this ever since I first cut off Acidic Glavenus' tail on PS4 Iceborne.
日本語の説明はこの下です。
- Added an update file that fixes the blade so that it glows when charging. The effect is mostly noticeable in dark areas.
- Added an optional file to use Glavenus textures instead of Acidic Glavenus.
Notes
:- Included batch files to copy the files to all current weapon folders. Makes it much easier to handle.
- Too lazy to disable weapon-specific effects and sounds.
- Parts optional is to hide the monster skin/parts that are attached to weapons.
Installation:
1. Unzip the main archive (with folders) into Steam\Steamapps\common\Monster Hunter World\
2. Ensure you have the "Emblem" folder (needed to hide the Emblem)
3. Unzip the optionals of your choosing into the same location (overwrite).
4. Run the batch file "override_all.bat", and if you downloaded the parts optional, "hide_all.bat" inside the parts folder.
5. You can delete weapon folders that you don't need. I don't know which folders are which weapons, but you can experiment by removing folders and checking the results in-game. Note that unlike before Iceborne, it seems that sometimes removing/changing folders does not always update in realtime.
Uninstallation:
If you want to revert to the original, simply delete the mod files in these folders:
NativePC\wp\two\
