HOOT (Hitstop and Other Obsessive Tweaks)

BIG IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYONE:

It's been a looooong time, and I'm no longer working on this mod. I am playing Iceborne, however, specifically using the Iceborne Community Edition (ICE) overhaul mod. I highly recommend it, as it makes a pile of awesome changes to weapons that I wish I had the know-how to make myself. It's pretty neat.

Anywho, I'm not going to take down HOOT, since I did spend hours and hours on it, but I have no idea how to go about updating it for current versions or what changes I'd want to make considering the existence of ICE, which I think is a much better balance mod. Thank you all for the time you spent playing using my creation; it's great to know that I made some kind of difference out there.

ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:

This is a huge compilation of weapon tweaks (many of them hitstop and motion value related) that I made for myself and friends in order to make the weapons in Iceborne feel a bit more satisfying.

INSTALLATION:

- Make sure you have Stracker's Loader installed (duh).

- Download the HOOT zip file, unzip, and copy the nativePC folder into your Monster Hunter World directory, overwriting files if necessary.

- If you want one of the optional changes, you can grab one or multiple from the Optional Files folder. Simply enter the folder you want and drag the nativePC folder inside it to your Monster Hunter World directory, overwriting if necessary.

Totally legit and not at all made-up FAQ:

Q: Can you make separate mods for each weapon? OR: Can you make ?

A: If you don't like the changes I made to a specific weapon, or you don't like one specific thing, you can either choose not to add the specific weapon folder (I have indicated the folder number next to each weapon name in the list of changes) or edit the files yourself to whatever values you like. MHW Editor makes this quite a simple affair. Of course, if you have a specific suggestion that you think would be relatively balanced and fun, feel free to share. I might implement it into the main mod if I like it.

Q: Is this mod super cheaty?

A: The changes included are pretty modest for the most part and shouldn't affect hunt times by more than mere seconds, but since this does edit a lot of motion values and stuff, I have marked this mod as a "cheat" mod. Honestly, though, if you use it online with randoms, they probably won't even notice anything aside from the clutch attack-related stuff (see very first bullet in the list of changes).

Q: Are all of the changes you made documented?

A: I didn't start writing the list of changes until the number of changes became pretty big, so some information might be missing. That said, I remember most of what I did, so ev
