Hard(er) Mode - Increased Difficulty

Updated for TU2!

Be cautious when using this with Arena Quests. Capcom probably doesn't care much if you make your times slower with this, but I don't want to rule out any risks (Of course, Arena Times are balanced for Vanilla values anyways, so you'd probably want to disable this mod for those quests either way).

This mod increases Monster HP and Damage (including wound HP), so you won't just run over and stunlock every Monster while making them a bit more of a challenge. I have added a bunch of different files with various combinations of values so you can choose what best suits you.

If you think something is wrong like incorrect values, then please let me know so I can take a look at it.

If you want to try editing yourself I have uploaded the Scripts I use to do so under optional files. You will need AutoHotkey to be able to do so however.

This is also compatible with most other difficulty mods to further customize your desired scaling (if it's done via EmCommonDifficulty2.user. 3). You can just let it overwrite the file without any issue!

Regarding Multiplayer:

The Health of monsters is set by the Host of a Quest, so if no one has the mod installed except for the Host, the Health increase will still be applied for all players.

For Damage, multiple people have reported and tested for themselves that the Damage increase does not apply for other players, so everyone will have to install the mod for that. I don't believe there is a way around that unfortunately.

It is also highly unlikely that Capcom will ban you in any form for using a mod, they have never done so in the past at least. I still wouldn't host quests if you have this installed, there are a lot of people that probably wouldn't want to deal with increased monster Health. Due to the reasons stated above, you can however still join quests, since this doesn't affect Health.

Recommendations:

If you want additional changes to difficulty by for example nerfing Palicos, I recommend checking out Harder Difficulty Presets, the Monster Health and Attack changes can be safely overwritten by my files.
