We use semantic versioning to number our releases. In semantic versioning, versions are represented as "major.minor.patch" numbers, such as "1.2.3". A change in the major version number indicates a significant change that may require you to upgrade your software. This typically includes breaking changes that are not backwards-compatible. A change in the minor version number indicates new features or enhancements that have been added to the software. A change in the patch version number indicates bug fixes and small improvements. We provide release notes with each new version of the software, which describe the changes that have been made and how they may affect you. If upgrading to a new version requires any specific instructions, we will provide these as well.

As detailed in the program's README, this software is meant for Windows 10. It might work with other versions of Windows, but it may function with less stability.

Make sure to run as Administrator.

Effective HP is the HP taking into account the monster's defense rate. Burning Freezing Elzelion has 1,000,000 EHP because his True HP is 30,000 and his defense rate is 0.03. True HP is the HP of the monster without taking into account the monster's defense rate.

In early 2022, a few accessible MHF-Z private servers were created, renewing some interest on the game for many people. With this renewed interest, a bunch of people started to create new tools for the game. One of those tools were an overlay, created by suzaku01. Later on, that overlay inspired the creation of another overlay, created by Imulion. Around September 2022, Doriel Rivalet forked Imulion's overlay and began working on it. Some of Doriel's hobbies involve things such as programming and speedrunning. Originally, the overlay was created to help Doriel track many kinds of statistics during a run, along with delving into C# and .NET for the first time. This is Doriel's first project with the programming language. Doriel used to do quest runs with LiveSplit, and consult all kinds of MHF-Z information in many different places. The overlay was intended to help replace LiveSplit along with consolidating the community's knowledge in an easy to access project. Doriel believes that a community's knowledge shouldn't be limited to any particular application, be it Discord, Google Sheets, or even the overlay itself. With such purposes in mind, the overlay was decided to be Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS).

The overlay uses a SQLite database file for storing your past quest runs information, among other things, so that you can view graphs and statistics of your past runs. SQLite is known for being lightweight and performant, and the source code of the overlay implements various techniques to take advantage of such.

No. The overlay does read memory addresses, but it never writes (i.e. modifies values) to them. It is more likely that the local files of the game or the server files are affecting the game, both of which are unrelated to the overlay. The overlay is not a mod.
