Bloodshed Nargacuga - A Study in Scarlet - custom variant

Adds a custom variant without replacing the original. The quest will be found under 6-star Optional Quests, titled "A Study in Scarlet."

Install requirements:

• []SharpPluginLoader 0. 0. 7. 2

  [] . NET 8. 0—choose the installer of your operating system from . NET Desktop Runtime 8. 0. XX (check if x64 or x86 in File Explorer → This PC → Properties)

  []Stracker's Loader

• []Install the requirements.

  []Extract the contents of the mod .zip into your nativePC folder. (Steam Library → Right-click MHW → Manage → Browse local files).

  []Launch the game. Mod is enabled by default but you can toggle it on/off in-game using SPL menu (F9).

  []If you have older version of the mod (<24dec9), the main file now includes a .bat script inside nativePC to quarantine these old leftover files into one place for easy deletion. Here's what to expect when running that script.

• []Use the "reinstall-uninstall" method: Copy the files, then immediately Undo Copy.

  Bloodshed Nargacuga is the first realization of what enAI wanted to do with Nargacuga's moveset, but couldn't due to limitations of the thk files.

  The plugin frees up hardcoded actions, performs animation framecut, speed manipulation, and minor quest mechanics.

  • []TailStrike → BladeAttack

    []DoubleTailStrike → BiteTailCleave

    []TailCleave → TailSlalom

    []Invisible/FullDark mode

    + Added new plugin function to perform "animation frame cut" for smoother chaining and dynamic action speed.

    + THK(AI) edited for more balanced distribution of BladePosture/BladeAttack nodes.

    + Enhanced variety pool. Tailstrike vs. DTailStrike, TailSlalom vs. DTailSlalom are now randomized across all conditions.

    + The monster's in-quest stats, except for total HP, are set to match the Nargacuga from "Yodeling in the Forest/大樹のヨーデル"

    + Removed "Under Bleeding Stars" multi-monster quest from the old version.

    + Removed the bleeding thorns that procs and auto targets you at the initiation of several attacks.

    Q: What is SharpPluginLoader for?

    A: Like how Stracker's Loader allowed for injecting DLL to load custom monsters & quests, SharpPluginLoader injects DLL written in C# to the game at runtime. The framework provides an API — addresses reverse-engineered over time are added to the library which is great for modding development. It's a form of documentation which helps eliminate "preliminary" code needed just
