New features

This is not a replacement for the existing Monster Hunter: World game support in Vortex. It is a supplementary utility extension for users who install Monster Hunter: World replacement mods.

The extension adds workflow tools for switching equipment replacement targets inside Vortex:

  • Right-click actions for supported installed MHW replacement mods.
  • Armor replacement target switching by changing nativePC armor folder/file IDs.
  • Searchable armor target list with Chinese names, English names, and IDs.
  • In-game-order armor browsing for layered armor targets.
  • Compatibility filtering so a 5-part armor mod cannot be switched to a 1-part head-only target.
  • Supported weapon replacement target switching.
  • Palico armor and Palico weapon replacement target switching.
  • In-game-order Palico equipment browsing.
  • Palico targets that share the same internal folder ID are collapsed into one actual replaceable target.
  • Temporary Vortex variant archive creation instead of overwriting the installed mod.
  • Automatic cleanup of temporary generated files.
  • Batch armor overwrite assignment for selected disabled armor mods.
  • Default Vortex metadata handling for installed replacement mods.

The extension does not include game assets, models, textures, audio, or third-party mods. It only changes replacement target paths and IDs for mods using recognizable MHW nativePC folder structures.

Tested with Vortex and Monster Hunter: World selected. Tested functions include manual extension installation, armor target switching, search/filter selection, in-game-order browsing, 5-part/1-part target compatibility checks, Vortex variant creation, and temporary file cleanup.
