Change the visual appearance of weapons and armor in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (with FUComplete mod) without affecting stats.
Works on PPSSPP and real PSP hardware via CWCheat codes.
Tested with FUComplete v1.4.0
python transmog.pyThe tool offers four modes:
- Weapon Transmog — change a weapon's appearance
- Armor Transmog (single slot) — change a single armor slot's appearance
- Armor Transmog (set) — change all 5 armor slots, with persistent source/target search filters across selections
- Universal Invisible Slot — make ALL armor in a slot invisible regardless of what's equipped (writes model 0 to every entry in the table)
For each selection you can search by name or browse an alphabetical list with pagination. Armor targets include an "Invisible" option (shows hair for head, hides the piece for other slots).
When a target armor has different male/female models, you can choose to use the opposite gender model — this swaps the male and female model IDs so your character renders the other gender's armor visual.
When a target armor has Blademaster and Gunner variants, you can choose to match armor type (default), or force all pieces to use a specific variant.
Generated codes are printed to the terminal and can optionally be appended to the PPSSPP cheat file at ~/Documents/PPSSPP/PSP/Cheats/ULJM05500.ini.
By using the below example cheat codes, the Iron Katana will look like the Hellish Slasher. Similarly, the Mafumofu armor visuals will change to a mix of the Black armor pieces (blademaster arms, gunner body & waist & legs) with an invisible head.
The stats stay the same as the original equipment, only the visuals change! This also works with upgraded armors, decorations, etc. because it really only changes the model ID that the game reads when rendering your character.
The below cheat code change the Iron Katana (and all of its versions) to the Hellish Slasher/Divine Slasher:
_C1 Iron Katana -> Hellish Slasher
_L 0x101575B8 0x0000008A
_L 0x101575D0 0x0000008A
_L 0x101575E8 0x0000008A
_L 0x1015B590 0x0000008A
The below cheat code changes the Mafumofu armor so that the head slot is invisible and the remaining armor parts are a mix of the blademaster and gunner versions of the Black armor:
_C1 Mafumofu -> Black BM/G Mixed
_L 0x20162EB0 0x00000000
_L 0x20167140 0x00300030
_L 0x2016B218 0x002E002E
_L 0x2016F228 0x00220024
_L 0x201731E8 0x00230023
You will have to trigger a re-render (e.g. by unequipping and re-equipping the armor/weapon) to see the changes take effect. If you want to undo the transmog, simply disable the cheat and reload the game. You can also use a different transmog cheat to overwrite the previous one.
- Python 3.6+
- MHFU with FUComplete mod (game ID: ULJM05500)
- PPSSPP (or real PSP with CWCheat support)
Clone the repo and run python transmog.py — no installation needed. The equipment data (transmog_data.json) is included.
Only needed if FUComplete updates its equipment tables:
- Place your FUComplete MHFU ISO in the
data/folder and extract the game files:
python extract_iso.py-
Launch the game in PPSSPP and create a save state (slot 0).
-
Build the data file:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python build_data.pyThis scrapes equipment names from the FUComplete docs and reads armor/weapon tables from the PPSSPP save state at ~/Documents/PPSSPP/PSP/PPSSPP_STATE/.
The game stores equipment data in static memory tables. Each armor/weapon entry contains a model ID that determines its 3D appearance. CWCheat codes overwrite these model IDs at runtime, making one piece of equipment look like another while keeping the original stats. NOTE: Transmog is client-side only — other players in multiplayer will still see your original equipment.
