FAQ

Can I configure what is visible? Yes - see Config.json documentation here.

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.

Where is the config file? Config.json is generated when SmartHunter is first launched.
