[Monster Hunter: Wilds] Remove Monster Icon from HUD/GUI and Map

[Paranoidface]

For all the HUD/GUI customisation we have been given I can't believe Capcom didn't allow us to turn this off!

I think I can speak for almost all the Hunters who played the original games in that the forced hand holding in the latest few games is the wrong direction for the series.

I have managed to adjust and mod my Monster Hunter: Wilds game ALMOST to perfection, all I need is that pesky Monster Icon removed!

I'm working on a mod for removing it but I am a big noob to modding RE Engine. If I have any updates on my progress I will put them here and if anyone has any help or information please let me know.

Attached is example:

dude PLEASE. I need this

the game is way too baby mode with all its handholding, this is the last part I need to be turned off, to actually feel like monster hunter again

I'm rooting for you!

Thanks to the mighty help of the modding discord and Vuze in particular we have step one, removing the monster icons from the map, still have to disable the distance indicator though but going to look into that now!

Here's the lua if anyone is interested, shoutout to Vuze!

Vuze published a mod here with much better controls:

Still need to figure out this distance indicator and the dotted line to the monster on the map

Ok I've figured it out! I'm publishing the mod here:
