What this mod does

A simple texture change + added glow for all Guiding Lands mining outcrops and bonepiles.

How to install

Unzip this mod to nativePC folder. Installation paths:

Steam\steamapps\common\Monster Hunter World\nativePC\

How to remove

Delete the following folders:

nativePC\Assets\gm\gm000\HGDF7C213GF7D8F_TGL (folder containing the textures)

How to change textures/colors with Photoshop

First you need the following 3 tools: Photoshop, Intel DDS plugin for Photoshop and a . TEX to . DDS converter.

The files that controls colors and glow are at: nativePC\Assets\gm\gm000\HGDF7C213GF7D8F_TGL

The files with the word "glow" controls the intensity + color.

A completely black image would remove the glow; a brightly colored image would increase it.

For easy luminosity control in photoshop, press Control+L for brightness adjustment.

For easy color control, press Alt+Shift+Control+B, click Tint and adjust Hue+Saturation levels.

For more advanced photoshoping, either use google or watch some youtube videos.

What I want to experiment with/add in future updates

Separate the mining outcrops textures to 6 different zones (for easier color customization). Done in v1. 1

Alternate download with custom mining outcrops colors for easy color swapping. Done in v1. 1

Astral type glow from Astral armor.

Fast pulsating type glow from thunderbugs/weedge beetles.

Wave type glow from Safi'jiiva weapons.

Control the LOD on certain bonepile models to load from farther away.

* Control the gathering spots 3d model to make them disappear completely after they've been exhausted.
