📋 About This Mod

Fairly simple mod, just makes it so pressing R2/RT performs a morph attack instead of the idle morph. There was already a mod that did this but it seems like it was removed, so I made a new version.

It is possible to make it so a forward + R2/RT input is required, which would allow the usual idle morph to remain, but the game doesn't do a very good job at recognizing the forward input if you do it quickly, so I opted to just replace the idle morph entirely.

Ver 1. 0. 1 changes:

- Made the sword idle morph attack be the forward morph attack instead (that you do normally do after a roll).

- Made the "gauge too low" forced sword idle morph be the idle morph attack instead.

- This is because, when below 30% gauge, the game always makes you do this morph. Feels a little weird doing an automatic morph attack when your gauge hits zero, but you typically aren't hitting zero if you're paying attention so it's not a big deal.

On the technical side of things, this is actually the vanilla handling for all morphs in sword mode which is taking priority when below 30% gauge. I chose to adjust it like this because deleting vanilla behavior could have unintended consequences (e.g. getting stuck in sword mode).

Also added an optional version that makes idle Y/Triangle in axe mode do the overhead slash instead of the side slash, like older titles and Rise. Requested by TheDevilDucker.

Installation

Copy the nativePC folder into your Monster Hunter World game directory.

Not compatible with any other mod that modifies the Switch Axe moveset (the fsm file specifically).

Note: Do not use this mod online with other people who are not also using it. This mod (more specifically using the idle morph attack) will cause desync issues if you play with someone who is not also using the mod. This is the case for any mod that modifies movesets.
