For anyone having issues in Junon or Cosmo Canyon (Chocobo mini games that involve a mine cart), the MOD works as long as you are holding onto the cart.
I was able to walk directly in front of chocobos looking at me as long as I was holding the cart, but couldn't just ignore the mini game completely and run straight to the chocobo at the end.
So I still had to throw rocks to distract the one at the end to catch it, but was able to ignore nearly everything else.
Thank you for this Synthlight, I hate stealth minigame bullshit like this, and your mod saved me some grumbling and blood pressure spikes. Cheers!
Not working for me. Installed to the folder you said in Description. Chocobos still alerted as normal when attempting Cosmo Canyon chocobo minigame. Removed ALL other mods in ~mods folder, fired the game back up, same results.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how it works, I'm assuming I should be able to just run right through everything to the chocobo that needs to be caught?
Any tips or help would be appreciated!
EDIT: Kinda works on Cosmo Canyon... "Blind" isn't quite what I'd call it, they were spotting me from across the map, seems there might be an AoE on it or something. When I got close, they seemed less aware but still not "blind". IDK man, thanks for the mod, I'll keep it installed anyways. Maybe it works better on other chocobo minigames.
See the vid on the mod page here. I only tested the first one as I've already caught them all, but it shouldn't be really any different in the data files. I can take a peak at that chapter when I get there in hard mode, but if you didn't get the crouch speed boost, then the mod wasn't active.
I had a similar experience but after messing with it what I find is:
If there are no carts, its 100% as on the tin. jump around, run in circles around em, they have no idea.
If there are carts, then it works as long as you are in the area covered by the cart. Note that this doesnt mean its the same as default, where you must use the cart to hide - with this mod you just need to be in any area that is capable of hiding you, so as long as you are close to the cart they cant see you.
In Cosmo specifically, this also means you have to be ON the L2. You can start the minigame, hold L2 and essentially just walk the cart through. Right past them, they wont see you.
The switches are easy to hit the normal way, but I dont think the birds will see you near the switch either.
Aponi is unaffected and will see you any time she/he normally would, but the course is super easy up to that point so you just gotta stay on the backside of the cart to the end, and toss a rock behind Aponi for distraction.
Read the description. If you want a helpful response, give actual helpful information to work with. I cannot read your mind or see your screen. Be descriptive. The more info you give, the more likely I am to figure out what your issue is. If I have nothing, I just give a condescending answer.
I use the FLING trainer when I need to also. Here's a little tip for the chicken game, as I did this last night. Use only the movement speed modifier, make it 1.5 (2.0 is too fast and you'll make too many errors).
With 1.5 enabled, go to the third chicken and activate the rattling can. Continually walk back, stop at the '?' but try to maintain enough distance. When the asshole chicken icon goes red to dash, wait until the last second to yank the can backwards.
It's okay if you fail, you dont have to wait for the chicken to walk back to the starting point. As soon as you fail, run near the chicken and drop the rattle can again. It will pick up where you left off.
Keep going until you make it back to the lady. Remember - dont give up if you fail, immediately throw out the can and keep going.

Also worth mentioning that I got through the bandit stealth part of the quest without issue.
Yes, it's possible to change all that, you just have to find where it is.

I got to the 3rd one and can't do it. My character stops moving backwards in random spots for some reason.
The Fling Trainer covers a lot of the minigames, half of which I are in no way any fun for me.
FYI: Only download fling trainers from https://flingtrainer.com. Any other source, and there are many, are all malware.

Good luck!
Like many others, I did not know I do not have to restart from the beginning.
Also like many others, the minigames have caused so much frustration I'm losing interest in the game and may not finish it.
