Just posted a long overdue patch and update I will be going over the majority of the icons and cleaning them up with some of my new skills Thank you all for the support
I have contacted the Resurgence team. And after an unpleasant and unsuccessful interaction, I have been denied permission to publicly distribute a modified version of their quest files as a compatibility patch and have consequently been banned from the server. I have been made aware of the action and must respect their decision. You may DM me for further information. I am sincerely sorry that I could not deliver on a compatibility patch, but I did try and will do my best to support those looking for a completely customized hunting experience. Thank you all for your support. It means the world.
New update is finally up. Thank you all for being so supportive. I hope you like the new upgrade. Let me know what you think. I couldn't believe I hit 1k. I have another couple collab projects coming up. Looking forward to the response. Your support and critiques helped take this to another level, imo. It took a lot of experimenting to get around the game's compression and it motivated me. I look forward to revisiting this mod in the future.
Thank you for the support. I have been hard at work at a complete overhaul to the icons. It has gotten out of hand. I can't figure out why it won't let me post any pictures in the thread but here are links to SOME of the icons that are on the way.
I think the idea is really good. But unfortunately, the blurry icons made it unusable for me. I hope you can fix it soon Btw thank you for your hard work :)
Nice mod, but I cannot endorse it yet for couple of reasons you can see here:
1) The active gamepad / controller icons are either not supported or outright bugged: The mod does NOT display the active controller's buttons - shows PlayStation controller's buttons, when using an XBOX-layout controller. The mod displays only 1/4th (one quarter / one of four corners) of controller's buttons. Perhaps no down-scaling support, unlike other game icons.
2) The small icons appear unclear - their resolution is too high for 1920x1080 game resolution (not just for "below" 1080p).
Blurry: ALL Small icons, the size of ones like inside item box, appear blurry and "worn" / "slashed" / "damaged" or "tenderized with a clutch claw"; ALL Bigger icons, such as item description icons look fine (except ones like monster field guide's list compared to monster tracker); These inconsistencies are best displayed by map icons: when zoomed out, their lines appear thin, blurry and washed-out, causing the icons to lose their clarity of identifying features; while zooming in / out, they gradually lose / gain blurriness and show clearer / blurrier details; when fully zoomed in, they display thick lines and clarity, but not crispy-clear as the preview images of the mod. Jaggy / Choppy / Pixely: The small monster icons(Field Guide list, Monster Trackers) display choppy texture, jaggy lines and edges (L-like, instead of \-like), unlike smooth lines and edges with perfect texture clarity shown in mod's preview images.
Author mentioned a 4k resolution rework for icons and, likely, replaced old ones. Please add an optional icons support pack for 1080p. Until such support is added, the mod will remain a downgrade in visual fidelity for game resolutions 1080p and below - like having a really bad-looking FXAA filter applied on all items' & UI small icons, and pixelated art with jaggy / choppy lines & edges on all monsters' small icons.
I run the game with High-Resolution Texture Pack, 1920x1080 resolution, anti-aliasing disabled, high image quality (non-variable).
Also I wish y'all upcoming happy New Years!
TL;DR: Fix icon sizes of controller buttons; Add recognition / icon support pack for XBOX controller buttons; Add small icons(*) clarity support pack for 1920x1080 game resolution. *UI: slider indicators, map, palico, etc.; *Monster: Field Guide's list (Ecology's big art looks okay), monster tracker, quest info, etc.; *Items: shops, item box, item pouch, radial menu, etc.;
EDIT: Added more detailed information, improved text syntax and coherency. EDIT: Added more accurate terminology. Added short TL;DR.
Also, what screen size is your monitor? I own a 24" screen which is within the ideal range (ideal 21"~24"; decent 25"~27") for 1920x1080 resolutions. If you use a bigger screen (above 27") and attempt to run 1920x1080, the image quality naturally suffers.
Which leads to my proposal: if you would like, I could test the icons and send you the results, before you upload them into the mod page.
Let me know your thoughts and whether that is something you'd like help with.
Same issue with unclear icons. 1440p here. Thought I had somehow installed the mod incorrectly. Only map & mob icons work super fine, but quite honestly that's the only thing I notice working. Left is ingame, right is nexus screenshot. (example wing icon)
this looks great but i got a little confused: what's the difference between v2.4.3 and v2.4.3a? they share the same description but seem to be different version.
The versions are identical except for the 2.4.3a has weakness icons on the mini monster icons for quick reference. That way you don't have to go into the hunter's journal and look at all the hard work i did. ;P Lol I prefer 2.4.3a myself. Again, thanks for the support. I hope you are enjoying MHW.
I am searching for an Icon-Overhaul Mod for a new and complete experience so with yours I also found the UI & Icon Overhaul Mod which also contains modded Monsters from Resurgence (https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/5402)
So my question is whats the main difference between these two Mods? Stupidly asked which one is better or more complete🤔
Thanks for the interest in my mod. And, it's funny you bring this up. First, I'll address the Resurgence topic. I have icons made for the Resurgence monsters. However, as it is now, the quest files for the Resurgence monsters reference icons that are associated with other monsters. For example, Seregios is Silver Rathalos. I would like to add them but will need to ask permission to edit their quest files or have them move the associated icon location. I have reached out to them and hope to get a positive response. Now, to answer your question. The difference between my mod and https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/5402. Simply that UI Overhaul has made the icons clearer and changed some of them to be more visually understandable. If I remember correctly, earplugs and a few others have changed. The modder has also made custom icons for the resurgence monsters. My mod covers a few more icons in the game and gives them a textured look and crafted feel. While I would love to say that my mod is more complete, without resurgence support, I currently cannot. Additionally, I will not disparage that mod or the creator, as I used it for almost a year and half and love their work. They custom designs are fantastic. It is a great mod. But if you are looking for something with a bit of crafted flair. Something fresh and you like the way mod mod looks. Give it a try, I would greatly appreciate the support.
Again, thanks for your interest and I hope you find all the mods to perfect your new journey through MHW.
Thank you so much for your very kind and detailed anwer, both of the mods have big pros so I will try them Love to see so much passion for my ever favourite videogames since the first MH on PS2 (yes, I am that old 😅) Keep going! 💪
No problem. It costs nothing to be kind to someone. I do have other mods in the works. However, I mainly focus on textures. This mod was a happy accident that got crazy out of hand...so I had to get it completed. Well, complete enough. You may look forward to seeing some of my work in the near future. There are a few 'monstrous' additions coming in the near future. It's mainly someone else's work, I am just provided textures and efx. I won't spoil anything. They deserve the praise, I really believe, that it will get. I am really happy to see so many people getting back into MHW. I play the Iceborne Community Edition. It's a complete overhaul only available through their discord. https://discord.gg/xPDVbhZgFJ If you are looking for pre-iceborne paced anction and combat, with all the Iceborne fun, look no further. It has TONS of QoL features that you really can't get anywhere else. Give it a shot if you're interested in a fresh run through. Maybe we run into each other.
He might be referring to the visibility of the weaknesses on the in-hunt mini icons. I noticed this last time I played, but it's not as much a resolution issue as it is a contrast issue. Might just need to make some outlines of the weaknesses a little thicker.
These looks FANTASTIC. And thanks so much for adding the monster weaknesses, I was going to ask EXACTLY that today. One small thing: Is there any way we could get a little bit more definition with some like black outlines, and maybe a little bit more resolution? Really give them that "Acrylic Pin" sort of look?
Soon...I have to start over basically. I will need to do new art at a higher resolution. I can see if there is a way to streamline that process. Thanks for the input. I'm glad you like them. I was tired of there not being "vanilla" HD icons with no weakness icons so I started making the mod...40 hours later...I had these made. I am taking a break and will start on 4k textures soon. Thanks again.
They really do look amazing. Can't wait to see the updated quality versions! I didn't know how badly I needed this mod until I saw it. Will you consider doing this for item icons as well? I don't know how much more involved that process would be (probably *much* more) but if it's a reasonable workload, they would look awesome.
I am about to upload. It's not a huge improvement, however it is a higher resolution. Look here over the next week or so. I will do a redesign for the higher quality renders. I think you have a point about bolder lines. The items have to be pushed back a day but they are coming
I think you can get away with the bolder lines with the larger icons. The smaller icons might be a little bit of a project though. Still, the new HQ guys look good. It seems to suffer a little with some of the more detail-dense icons like the Ancient Leshen, but I think that's really just a consequence of the size of the mini icons already not being super conducive to highly detailed images. Like for example, the Anjanath, Rathalos and Deviljho all look good. Zinogre and Brachy also look good. Tigrex looks a little funky but I think that's just a problem with the design itself. But Vaal, Bazel, Yian, and Ancient Leshen seem to be not so happy about the change.
Everything just kind of ends up smooshed together no matter what you do so you're just kind of left deciding what downfalls you're more comfortable dealing with. Might be worth it to omit some of the smaller details from the mini-icons? Just a thought. Might make them look a little bit less cluttered. Maybe adjust the contrast a little bit for some of the darker colors. Using Zinogre as an example, his underside is pretty dark, and does not contrast well from the darker details.
Zooming in on the image, it really feels like they're suffering from a bit of compression, which I imagine is more the game's fault than anything. Still, this is nice progress. Can't wait to see the finished product. Especially the notebook icons. Those are gonna look crisp.
You are mostly correct. This project began super detailed and has become a game of trade offs. I think I may have resolved some of the compression and will be saving an update for a later date in the near future. I am in the active process of updating with bolder lines and giving all icons a more aesthetically pleasing.
It looks really nice, but I miss the element of the monster's weakness.Make an optional file with the weakness icon and leave the original for those who prefer without it.But either way, congratulationsmore mods like this to come

2) The small icons appear unclear - their resolution is too high for 1920x1080 game resolution (not just for "below" 1080p).
Blurry:
ALL Small icons, the size of ones like inside item box, appear blurry and "worn" / "slashed" / "damaged" or "tenderized with a clutch claw";
ALL Bigger icons, such as item description icons look fine (except ones like monster field guide's list compared to monster tracker);
These inconsistencies are best displayed by map icons:
when zoomed out, their lines appear thin, blurry and washed-out, causing the icons to lose their clarity of identifying features;
while zooming in / out, they gradually lose / gain blurriness and show clearer / blurrier details;
when fully zoomed in, they display thick lines and clarity, but not crispy-clear as the preview images of the mod.
Jaggy / Choppy / Pixely:
The small monster icons (Field Guide list, Monster Trackers) display choppy texture, jaggy lines and edges (L-like, instead of \-like), unlike smooth lines and edges with perfect texture clarity shown in mod's preview images.
Author mentioned a 4k resolution rework for icons and, likely, replaced old ones. Please add an optional icons support pack for 1080p.

By the way, do you plan some more awsome Mods?
You may look forward to seeing some of my work in the near future. There are a few 'monstrous' additions coming in the near future.
