Monster Hunter World Color Randomizer Mod

This is a mod to randomize monster colors in Monster Hunter World! A lot of the code and ideas are based on my Freedom Unite Color Randomizer work.

I've included files and instructions for how to colorize and mod your copy of the game which guarantees you'll be fighting 100% unique monsters!

Colorization was changed significantly in v1.2. Existing monster colorizations should be a bit more maintained and there should be less clashing color elements, especially with part breaks and on bigger monsters (like Zorah).

How does the mod work?

The mod works by updating the texture files for each of the monsters with recolored ones. It tries to group siilar colors together and update them so the monsters maintain some of their original shading.

Applying the mod

You'll need a different mod called Stracker's Loader. This mod will create a `nativePC` directory next to your game. Any files you put in `nativePC` that match files in the game will be loaded instead of the game files. We will place our recolored texture files in nested folders in this directory so the game can pick them up.

1. Download the latest files

2. Extract one of the .zip files. Each represents a different randomization; you don't need to use them all

3. Copy the `em` folder into your `nativePC` directory

Feel free to mix and match files and folders from different randomizations, so long as you keep them in the correct directory. My code repository can help you figure out which folder corresponds with which monster.

Greyscale Bundle

For $2 you get access to 2 custom mods: one is a full greyscale of all monsters and the other is customized with colored eyes. No randomization here! These mods were fun to make and are cool to play with in their own right!

• Bonecuss has done some texture editing before, I've reached out to them for advice. They pointed me to NVIDIA texture tools which is amazing in streamlining the process.
• AlbinoDonkey and their randomizer
• IncognitoMan and their FU Complete mod
