📋 About This Mod
Quality-of-life improvements for focus mode in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Better Focus improves Focus Mode behavior in Monster Hunter Wilds, especially for KB+M users. Everything is configurable in-game and documented via tooltips.
Primary features
-
[]Draw weapon into Focus Mode[/]
[]Sprint/Dash can disable Focus Mode[/]
[]Sprint/Dash can sheathe your weapon[/]
[]Restores Focus Mode after shortcut-bar actions like whetstone or ammo use if Focus Mode was active beforehand[/]
[]Modify focus behavior when mounting Seikret[/]
[]Allows Seikret call from unarmed Focus Mode[/]
[]Fixes focus loss when MHWilds stops being the foreground window.[/]
[]Disable focus/target camera snapping (useful for some HunterPie configurations)[/]
[]Blocking turns your hunter toward the targeted monster[/]
This mod was inspired by excellent mods like AutoFocus, which were out of date when this was created. It is a full rewrite with a broader scope than similar mods.
This is my first MHWilds mod. It took much longer than originally planned, and I tested it as thoroughly as I know how. I hope you find it helpful. Feel free to report issues, and please be kind. ^_^
INSTALLATION
PREREQUISITES:
-
[]REFramework[/]
[]A legally acquired copy of Monster Hunter Wilds[/]
[]Ability to read[/]
Install via Vortex or a mod manager of your choice.
OPTION B:
-
[]Download the latest release.[/]
[]Unzip it into your game root folder, the one that contains `MonsterHunterWilds.exe`[/]
CONFIGURATION
Configure using the REFramework UI (Insert key by default).
-
[]Expand the Script Generated UI header at the bottom.[/]
[]Expand "Better Focus".[/]
[]Toggle settings on/off as desired.[/]
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
[]This mod was primarily developed and tested for KB+M play. Controller testing was more limited, but the features should work. Report issues if you find any.[/]
[]If you keep dash and focus-strike on the same key (default) you may run into issues with some weapons, possibly just bow.[/]
[]Unarmed focus is not restored after alt-tab or other window focus loss. Drawn-weapon focus restore still works fine.[/]
[]There is a very narrow edge case where attempting to sheathe extremely rapidly after movement can disable focus without fully sheathing. Almost no one will encounter this.[/]
[]If you use the mod "Keyboard Shortcut Setting", do not set Shortcut Display Time below 0. 8. Lower values can cause jarring camera behavior on some weapons.[/]
[*]Most behaviors depend on the game's action and camera states, so edge cases may still exist. Report
