Face Light

Keeps your hunter's face from looking bad in the dark. The character you carefully sculpted in character creation turns into a murky, flat-shaded silhouette in caves, night hunts, and dim cutscenes — this mod fixes that with a subtle, always-on fill light pinned to your hunter's head, like a photographer's portrait light. Just enough light to keep the face looking the way it should, without making the rest of the scene look unnatural.

Implemented as a REFramework Lua script, so there is no .pak to patch and the light can be toggled or tuned from the in-game menu at any time.

Features

• []Single, subtle point light pinned to the hunter's head joint every frame — a portrait-style fill light for the face, not a torch. It brightens your character, not the environment.[/]

  []Brightness is automatically scaled by the engine's current VfxScale, so the light keeps a similar look across bright (open Plains) and dark (Wyveria, night, indoors) areas. No more "blinding in caves, invisible at noon".[/]

  []Live in-game UI under Script Generated UI > FaceLight to tweak intensity, range, color, head offset, and every advanced light field the engine exposes (source radius, temperature, bounce intensity, specular, ...).[/]

  []Settings persist to reframework/data/FaceLight.json.[/]

  []Disabled cleanly when the mod is toggled off or the script is reloaded — the spawned light GameObject is destroyed, no residual lights left in the scene.[/]

  Requirements

  • []Monster Hunter Wilds (Steam) on the PC version. Tested on the current retail build; see Compatibility below.[/]

    []REFramework (the Wilds build). This mod is just a Lua script that REFramework loads.[/]

    Installation

    Option A — Fluffy Mod Manager (recommended)

    • []Download the latest FaceLight-<version>.zip from the Files tab.[/]

      []Drop the zip into Fluffy's Games/MonsterHunterWilds/Mods folder, or import it from inside Fluffy.[/]

      []Enable Face Light in Fluffy and install / launch the game.[/]

      Option B — Manual install

      • []Make sure REFramework is already installed (you should have a reframework/ folder in your Monster Hunter Wilds install directory).[/]

        []Extract the zip so that the file ends up at:

        <Monster Hunter Wilds>/reframework/autorun/FaceLight.lua[/]

        []Launch the game. The light spawns automatically once you are controlling your hunter.[/]

        Uninstall

        []Fluffy: disable / uninstall the mod from Fluffy and reinstall.[/]

        [*]Manual: delete reframework/autorun/FaceLight.lua. Optionally also delete the saved settings file reframework/data/FaceLight.jso
