This is a script that:
- separates custom bones and face meshes, allowing installing multiple bone-changing & face-changing mods at same time
- hides hair and other face parts without changing game design files, character mods won't expire after future title updates anymore
- gives an option to hide slinger
Inspired by:
- Lua Bone System by dddder4
- Female Body Sliders by Ridog8.
Notice:
1. This mod clashes with mods that also modify joint positions, for example Female Body Sliders.
2. The bone changes with helmet, when you change to a helmet that doesn't have mod applied to it, the bone will change back to normal.
3. This mod may cause fps drop in some scenes.
4. If the character's legs bend too much, try adjusting the y value of joint "Hip" in the bone data json file. Some other bones may need manual adjusts as well.
5. Currently doesn't work on other players in scene.
How to use:
1. Install reframework.
2. Drag this mod into fluffy manager and enable, do not unzip the file.
3. Install character mods that support this script (Make sure they support this system!).
4. Start the game and enable lua bone system in reframework panel (it is set enabled by default).
5. If you want to hide the slinger, uncheck the checkbox "show slinger". Your setting will be saved in Steam\steamapps\common\MonsterHunterWilds\reframework\data\lua bone system/conf.json.
6. To delete this mod from fluffy manager, go to Fluffy Mod Manager\Games\MonsterHunterWilds\Mods and delete file LUA Bone System.zip
How to adapt a character mod to work with lua bone system:
