FAQ
Why isn't SmartHunter running?
SmartHunter is running but I can't see the overlay?
Can I turn off monster health? Can I turn off team damage so it only shows percentage? Can I turn off widgets I don't want? Can I turn off other things?
Yes - Config.json is your friend.
Can I send damage or other information to chat?
No, and there are no plans to add this yet. The information shown by this overlay is intended to be for your eyes only.
Why don't monster parts and status effects update properly in multiplayer sessions?
This data only updates properly for the quest host. This is just the way the game works and it can't be worked around.
I can't find the config file. It's not in the zip folder?
Config.json is generated when you launch SmartHunter.
