Great mod, made using the IG a lot more enjoyable. I really don't like the extreme micro-management some of the weapons in MHW have.
I don't understand why you are so anti-Vortex though. I never had any problems with it and this mod also works fine with it. I am guessing you don't have it installed correctly.
Just look at the comment section here, plenty of problems from Vortex. I never used it to begin with as it's completely unnecessary with the drag n drop nature of Mhw mods. Might be that they've fixed this particular file issue but still, lots of other file types will get misplaced by Vortex.
*added a bug report* Seems the latest Update has broken this mod. I booted the game up after the new patch, and would get to the loading screen and just sit there for ages.
I'm blown away because I manually unpacked it in the folder, and when I go to my game and use the insect glaive, the duration is the normal amount. I am trying to use the final stage with long charge extension. That one should give me the 3600 seconds with each of the 3 colors, plus the tripple, right?
Maybe double check your paths and look if it's actually nativePC/hm/wp/wp10/wp10_param.w10p. Maybe you didn't replace an older version and there's an (1) behind the file name messing it up? Maybe you unpacked it inside NativePC which isn't right? Also use Win10 or 7zip to unpack, in rare cases WinRar might mess it up.
In any case, i just downloaded the file here and replaced my current file with it. Works in my game just fine, still.
I did check that it was in the right folder. It's got the same path. I downloaded the mod twice, once using 7-zip to open and once winrar, I am in Win 10, and I have stracker's loader properly installed, otherwise my other mods wouldn't work. I did not have an older version as this was the first time installing it and I don't have many mods since I was just starting to mod the game, so I don't think there is anything conflicting. I don't know, it's so weird. Thank you anyway. My game is updated to the latest, 13.50.01 I also used the MHWEditor and I downloaded the chunks from my game, edited the files and copied what you did on yours, and it still didn't work with my file.
A very weird issue indeed, maybe ask in the modding discord for help. Seems more like that issue got something to do with your game in specific rather than the mod itself.
Having the same issue as SaviorUchiha. I've tried every file on this page. Tell me if I'm doing this right please: downloading to a separate folder, unzipping there, then copying the contents into my nativePC folder in the MHW file in steamapps. Done this with a handful of other mods - no prob. I also use vortex for stracker's and 3 other mods (i'm scared to delete from vortex and manually install those three b/c they're working fine). I've ensured the file path for (each individual file from here I've tried one at a time) is correct as you listed (wp10 folder > wp10_param.w10p). Cannot for the life of me get this to work and I would love the QOL Any suggestions?
Fixed it. Don't use Vortex for this game. At all. In Vortex: purged mods, removed/deleted archives. deleted Vortex mod folder. Manually downloaded all mods and dropped into the nativePC folder in the MHW installation (main) folder. Started with Stracker's, updated C++, then installed one at a time and opened the game to ensure nothing broke. Once I broke it, I deleted the at fault mod and kept going. Tedious but this mod works flawlessly and I'm enjoying it so much. Hope this helps anyone else struggling to get things to work. Also, try to use newer mods; older ones were pretty sure to cause problems. Whoever runs this site should sticky that Vortex is not playing well with this game.
Sorry for the late reply, was caught up in irl stuff. Glad to hear you managed to fix it! I knew Vortex messes things up but wasn't aware it would go as far as outright deleting stuff. I'll include it in further detail on the main page now to ensure nobody else experiences this, thank you!
your mod is the reason im enjoing IG again. i dont mind micro managing but what they did with IG is over the top, so thanks from the bottom of my heart.
do you think it would be able to increase the duration of the Gunlance Wyrmstake Blast in a similar fashion?
I believe so, yeah. But i never played GL nor do i know the exact file for it. Maybe I'll look into it if it's easy enough to do, not really an expert.
Yeah, you just take chunkG3 and get the wp10.col there. Only that. Then you open the move and change the soften to whatever you want. If you can't figure it out just tell me what soften you need (100, 50, etc) and I'll do it for you.
can't change Kinsect's soften value in MHW editor. (hm\wp\wp10\collision\wp10_01.col) I think 'shells'(GL shelling, LBG+HBG's ammo, even kinsects) can't change soften value maybe we should find another way to change the soften value
I downloaded the newest update with the charger added on to final stage i know its experimental and it is probably just me being dumb but the spirit charge increase is defiantly working,however the kinsect buff increase is no longer working for me at least.
That's a very weird issue, works just fine on my end. Maybe the download was corrupted? Or have you downloaded another overhaul and overwrote the file? Is your MHW on the most recent version?
To test it again i downloaded the mod from this page here but it still works... i suggest you try redownloading and unpacking with .7zip or Win10. Maybe WinRar messed up with unpacking or something.
Edit: Or maybe you haven't moved the folder correctly? Most red drops already grant that 5m buff by default so maybe the mod in its entirety isn't working. Try charging with a stone pod and see if that's over 2mins at least. Might help narrowing down the issue.
I'm having the same issues except even kinsect charge doesn't work. Tested it multiply times. I had unloaded it through the vortex launcher through. That may be why it's not working.
Don't use Vortex or any other mod manager for such mods, they'll absolutely mess up everything. That's also why i only have manual downloads enabled here.
I suggest you just (un)install it manually (drag and drop the file) because Vortex doesn't work. Thanks for figuring it out though. Never thought people still use Vortex.
Yeah, It was just Vortex not installing it right but I have found that if you manually install this mod, it will work along side any mods you have vortex managing.
Does this also increase the buff duration of Kinsect Charge (Power) and Kinsect Charge (Spirit), the kinsect buff from slinger ammo? If not, is it possible to do that? Thank you!
Nope, only the extract duration for now but i'm already looking for those slinger buffs. Seems like the mod author of this here has figured it out though: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/3417 Maybe you could ask them to release a mod with just the charge altered. I assume it's also in wp10_param.w10p but first need to get that decrypted. I'll probably have it finished in a few days depending on my motivation.
Edit: Found it! Will be updating soonish, still need to test. Another Edit: Updated to include it.
Yeah, as mentioned in the description it works just fine with any Overhaul. It ONLY overwrites their kinsect buff duration file, not the file with the MVs etc so nothing else gets changed.
There is a file affecting kinsect buff duration. This file is an extra file which only touches the duration. Only the kinsect buff duration, NOTHING else. Some IG Overhauls change the kinsect buff file to accommodate whatever uptime they wanted for their mod. I changed the kinsect buff file to whatever values mentioned. By overwriting the overhaul file you actually only overwrite the kinsect buff file hence retaining all overhaul changes while only replacing the buff file because the actual IG changes are another file altogether. Or to make it more simplistic: File A for IG changes File B for only Kinsect duration changes Overhauls commonly have both files: A and B. I changed B, A remains untouched. So yeah, if you overwrite something it's only the kinsect related file B. The IG overhaul still applies due to file A being unchanged.
