deploy a bench

[eternal ibex]

How?

Is that possible?

[daring magnet]

use benchwarp

[chrome spade]

Wait benchwarp has skull bench as an option?

[daring magnet]

no

[mossy ledge]

Is it possible to get hk into the unity editor?

For modding I mean

[violet pine]

Even if(Idk if its even possible) you usually don't have to do it

So waht do you want to do?

The only reason is that you use weavercore or you edit/make a scene

[daring magnet]

or make a Gameobject

[violet pine]

Would also work

[half moth]

at everyone ping getting deleted in an instant

[charred forum]

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? the dll is in the "Mods" folder. Sorry I'm new here

[merry lotus]

For 1.5, mods need to be in their own folder

So, Mods/mymod/mymod.dll

[charred forum]

Ok, thank you

[light zodiac]

Also you are logging to the debug level which defaults to not shown

You have to manually set the log level lower

[neat garnet]

can someone make a mod that replaces Dung Defender's theme with the drip version?

[violet pine]

No but there's custombgm with it you can replace replace it by yourself and #modding-discussion for mod suggestions

[neat garnet]

yeah i can probably do it myself

[violet pine]

Yes you can

[blazing siren]

yo

can someone please make an ant mod

that adds ants to the game

[violet pine]

Still #modding-discussion

[fair rampart]

I have a question

Can you get mods on PlayStation

Or

Any console that isn't a PC

[violet pine]

No and #archived-modding-help for questions like this

[fair rampart]

My Apologies ty for the info

[rough herald]

dumb question but anyubody know where i can get the debug mod for current version of hollowknight?

[half moth]

Scarab and next time #archived-modding-help

[rough herald]

oh my bad i thought i was there already

[onyx dune]

use this song as a theme or your mod loses 1/10 points

[violet pine]

Whats your point? Just trying to harass people who make mods?

[fair rampart]

chill out g, its just irony bud

[worn eagle]

https://youtu.be/PhtwNfUCWIw?t=114

[rough pulsar]

no i dont feel like putting a random song requested by a person in modding development into mods i make

[still beacon]

I have a request can someone make me able to spare the false knight, save myra, and make tiktiks harmless, hallownest is lonely enough withought all the cute things dying 😭

[violet pine]

You can skip false knight you don't have to get cdash and you don't have to kill tiktiks

[primal latch]

^

[onyx dune]

ok your opinion is valid : )

[merry lotus]

• Requests go in #modding-discussion

• iirc, this mod let's you save Myla

[boreal lark]

would this be a good place for rando suggestions/feedback?

[still beacon]

Can someone tell me what png the take damege void particle is located in

[supple spade]

I think it's called 'HitPt'

[still beacon]

hitpt.png?

[supple spade]

Here's an example

You can just download that, change it how you want, and then put it with the skin

[still beacon]

where can i get goddump

[supple spade]

It's in the pins

[still beacon]

fuckers need to stop making fake transparent pngs

[merry lotus]

1.5 GODump is on Scarab, unless you want the Krita version, which is on the Modding server

[still beacon]

Yeah i was being an idiot an searching in my installed mods

Thanks

[still beacon]

why is this so hard i just want the sprites for tiktik and crawlit

imma go sleepy now i've been up for 48 hours

[merry lotus]

I just use CK to dump stuff normally

I only use GODump if I want to actually split the sprite up into frames

Also, all of the sprites are pinned in #art-discussion and in an Art thread on the Modding server

[still beacon]

i did a thing

crawlid's next

[violet pine]

#modding-discussion for skin eg.

[still beacon]

ok but i'm developing a mod how do i pack it so it loads

[violet pine]

look at transtrans source code

[still beacon]

how do i do that

[vocal spire]

There’s probably a better way than transtrans (I don’t remember how it was programmed, but iirc mods adding one texture tended to have a worse method)

I can walk you through it rn @still beacon if you want

[still beacon]

yus please

[still beacon]

yes please

[vocal spire]

Alright give me a min to check something

[still beacon]

okie dokie

[vocal spire]

Do you already have a mod set up?

[still beacon]

?

[vocal spire]

Like do you already have a basic mod programmed

[still beacon]

no

[vocal spire]

Do you want to make a mod or do you just want to change the texture?

[still beacon]

i thought it would be as easy as making a custom skin

[vocal spire]

Alright

[still beacon]

just the texture

[vocal spire]

That stuff belongs in #modding-discussion

Link459 thought you were making a mod and was telling you to view code of another mod

[still beacon]

so skins aren't technically mods?

[vocal spire]

Some people consider them that, but tmk the general thing is they aren’t or at least don’t belong in this channel

(Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong)

[still beacon]

can you still help me in #modding-discussion

[vocal spire]

Maybe, I’m not too good with new CustomKnight stuff

[still beacon]

ok so im trying to use enemy changer

[steady comet]

This is correct, if you're not programming then this channel is not correct

Discussion about using existing mods fits better in #modding-discussion

[rough pulsar]

how to

[jade snow]

Very nice mod

[still beacon]

Thankies i also made a crawlid one

[jade snow]

Cool

I'm want to make some resprites of charms

And what they look like in-game

[vocal spire]

Again not really a mod and #modding-discussion

(I’m just going to pretend that I didn’t just post that 4 hours late)

[old cargo]

I want to make bugs in hallow nest look at you for 5 seconds and kill themselves, bosses run away from you and attack when you're close while making screaming noises
Can't mod though so it shall remain a faded dream

[daring magnet]

scared

but #modding-discussion please

[manic swallow]

Had the idea for a mod while playing Transcendence
Make Mask Maker a new NPC Vendor that sells a few extra Charm Notches and probably four mask shards for flavour.

[steady comet]

#modding-discussion unless you’re making this mod yourself

[manic swallow]

I was in fact planning on it, yes. I just have no idea where to start

[steady comet]

Um, I recommend https://prashantmohta.github.io/ModdingDocs/ to start with

[manic swallow]

Thanks! Will check that out.

[cinder condor]

Ok ok hear me out

Challah knight skin

[gilded lotus]

Ok ok hear me out. #art-discussion / #modding-discussion

Especially after there's 2 posts right above yours that redirect for similar things but I guess reading is a no go

[manic swallow]

In the interest of possibly saving myself a lot of time, are there any existing mods that add new npc vendors to the game I can look at for reference?

[steady comet]

Add new vendors? Not to my knowledge - the closest is Rando which adds egg shop https://github.com/homothetyhk/HollowKnight.ItemChanger/blob/master/ItemChanger/Placements/EggShopPlacement.cs

[manic swallow]

Not ideal, but useful, thanks!

[jolly oriole]

yea, you would need quite a bit to have the bare minimum of a new vendor, like an inspect region (despite the name, it's also used to enter doors or talk to people)
the main shop element and an object that you animate given the interaction

[manic swallow]

Oh boy. Well, good to know I've got my work cut out for me. :p

[jolly oriole]

so the easiest way you would get the minimum would be to preload a few things from Room_Shop and adjust them to your liking. just don't ask me which ones, don't have time rn

[manic swallow]

Fair enough

Gonna try for a simpler mod for my first one, then, and just add a few buyable Notch items to the Mask Maker room.

[lofty swift]

I studied C and Python both from scratch. I still feel extremely lost whenever I try anything to do with code. It's like I can't ever find a connection between what I studied in my classes and what I want to do.

Now trying to learn a little C#, looks like I'll need to redo the entire basics of programming again or else I just won't understand anything. No progress made for years :')

[manic swallow]

Oof.

[lofty swift]

Maybe modding hollow knight is a good incentive? idk just hoping at this point

[violet pine]

It can

[floral blade]

I also did a stream making an NPC at one point, see if it helps with some of what you want.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js4xgjlf6-Q

[manic swallow]

Can't hurt to look. Thanks!

[vocal spire]

I’ve made an old npc helper monobehavior that I plan to redo, might also be of help https://github.com/RedFrog6002/FrogCore/blob/master/FrogCore/DialogueNPC.cs only helps with npcs that only have dialogue though

[manic swallow]

Trying to add new charm notches to the Mask Maker room but they're not showing up for some reason and I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Anyone with more experience using ItemChanger have time to help out?

[rough pulsar]

who scrolls up and reads previous messages in #archived-modding-development? i know i dont.

[half moth]

Who reads?

[rough pulsar]

true

[steady comet]

At a guess, are you remembering to call ItemChangerMod.CreateSettingsProfile? If that doesn't work, you could try asking for more help in the modding discord (search hollow knight modding discord in google for a link)

[manic swallow]

I did not, in fact. First time using this mod. Will try that once I get the chance, thanks!

[fair rampart]

ok so I have an unrealistic mod idea that'll take quite a lot of time, but all I really need is to change the sprites and hitboxes of existing enemies + some flavor text like the hunter's journal
I don't need to add anything that isn't already in the base game
where should I start ?

I know some unity but nothing about the mod creation process for this game

[violet pine]

Join the modding server there you'll find everything you need after getting the dev role in opt-in-roles

i'm doing a Custom knight skin i should show here or in another chat?

[supple spade]

I think modding discussion is usually the place for skins

[lapis yoke]

oh okay thx

[hallow lagoon]

kinda wanna mod hollow knight into a roguelike, is that something someone has done yet or am I good to start on that

[modern star]

I don't think anyone is working on a roguelike mod at the moment

[languid goblet]

someone had a concept for it in the modding discord

[hallow lagoon]

oh what's the modding discord

If that's not in progress already, I'd love to work on it

[languid goblet]

doesn't seem to be in progress

[torpid turtle]

So, this is something for the far flung future. My main goal is to go into game design, not only to create my own games, but creating mods for others. I plan on going above and beyond with some things, including some extra bosses and a WHOLE lot of other stuff for Hollow Knight, in the Colosseum (or Neo Colosseum for what I'm doing). But, all of that is irrelevant. Basically, I want your help, all of you guys who wanna contribute, to brainstorm attacks for four new custom boss fights. And these boss fights aren't powered up version of old bosses. Completely new bosses, but not TOTALLY original. Basically, taking people who never got a boss fight for various reasons, and giving them boss fights.

I have four in mind, and would like your ideas for some attacks for them

I plan on doing boss fights for Revek, Tiso, the Hunter, and Dryya. Any ideas would be very much appreciated!

[supple spade]

Tiso, but his shield turns into a helicopter

[daring magnet]

Italy has a Tiso repo

[light zodiac]

But it had no assetbundle

[daring magnet]

yeah

just a tiso statue png

[rough pulsar]

why go through the troubles of making an assetbundle instead of just coding it by your own (also type out the bytes of the png by hand) :gorbultragigamind:

(advice, dont)

[light zodiac]

Oh damn that seems easier to do

[rough pulsar]

really?

[light zodiac]

yea

[floral blade]

Just to be that guy, it's not that assetbundles are that much better, it's the fact that you can use unitys existing gui toolset that is the real reason why It's better to use assetbundles when making more complex things.

[meager dune]

when will the silk song come?

no srsly how do i mod this game

[languid goblet]

#archived-modding-help

[meager dune]

god damn it, isn't he already?

[fair rampart]

i meant make a mod

[steady comet]

You need to program in C# to mod HK. if you know how to do this or dont mind having to learn, I recommend joining the nodding discord for help (search Hollow Knight Modding Discord in Google)

[fair rampart]

i feared as much

well then its a good thing i know the arts of copy paste

[steady comet]

ill actually code it myself

so what do i do in the modding disc

[languid goblet]

ah, my bad

[pearl sentinel]

@runic wind you made the grub preserver mod right?

i just got back into hollow knight after not playing it for a while and now it's outdated

so i was wondering if you could update it

[runic wind]

im not set up for 1.5 modding, or modding at all anymore

but anyone with modding experience could do it very easily

[violet pine]

I could do if you send me the source code

[violet pine]

Could you?

[runic wind]

It’s on an old computer

It’s just like a hook for benching that changes whatever the flag for grubfather is

[violet pine]

So what does it do? (like gameplay wise)

[runic wind]

Makes grubfather not eat the grubs

All the grubs stay in the room

[jolly oriole]

but what if grubfather never wanted to eat them and the grubs just decided to themselves?

[limber storm]

It might be as easy as

GameObject.Find("Grub King").LocateMyFSM("King Control").ChangeFsmTransition("Activate Reward", "FINISHED", "Recover");

I'd test it but... that might take me a while

[limber storm]

Yup, it works

[limber storm]

Hmmm, the Grubs are still there after I remove the mod... I'll look into it tomorrow, maybe it was specifically picking up Grubberfly's that triggered the bool change

[pearl sentinel]

i was too late

[olive marten]

what is the name of the mod to kill elderbug I need it please

[limber storm]

Checked the FSM, yeah, that is how it works: The bool that makes the Grubs get eaten only flips to true when Grubberfly's Elegy is tossed; and since it was already tossed, it just does the idle animation every time instead, even after disabling the mod. So yeah, there's a working never-eaten Grubs mod

[merry anvil]

[fair rampart]

damn this will be helpful ty

[pearl sentinel]

working on my first ever custom knight skin, not as bad as i thought it would be

theres a shit ton more sprites than i imagined though so it'll take a while

[wraith junco]

Hi everyone, I want to try making a small HK mod, any recommendations for resources on where to start?

Is there an API documentation for the modding API somewhere? Some sort of guide? I saw a project template in the pins, but that seems more like the second step, rather than the first.

Hi everyone ! Can somebody help me, I'm looking for a way to reproduce the behaviour of the spikes that makes you respawn at the place you jumped from if you touch them. Do you know how to do it ? 🤔

[violet pine]

Inspect the game object with unity explorer which is on scarab

[inland crest]

Si have to find a room that have those spike and inspect it ?

(I'm new to modding and scarab)

[violet pine]

No you can use the search scene feature

[inland crest]

Ok i'll try ! Thank you 🙂

[inland crest]

If i understand it right i have install the Unity Explorer and then go in the game to use it right ?

[violet pine]

Yes and press f7 to open it ingame

[inland crest]

OH lawd thank you

Quick Question: Is there a way to to quickly change the eye color of the knight in a Custom Knight skin?

[daring magnet]

#modding-discussion

[near socket]

Dose anyone know how to change/modify the size of enemy and its hitbox？

[daring magnet]

gameobject.transform.localscale

[near socket]

I'll try it. Thank you.

[near socket]

Looks like only the y axis of the Vector3 give to gameObject.tranform.localSacle affects enemies' height, x axis and z axis do nothing?

[daring magnet]

x is width and keep z is same as original

[near socket]

OK.I see

[steep rapids]

hi, can you guys pass me the bee skin for the knight, i saw it a few days ago in this channel but I lost it

[merry lotus]

A. Wrong channel. You want #modding-discussion
B. Check the pins there

[chilly timber]

hollow knight has a Z value?

i want to make a charm mod, but i don't know were to find files and stuff like that

[violet pine]

Yes but you don't have to change it

[violet pine]

https://prashantmohta.github.io/ModdingDocs/

[chilly timber]

thanks

[violet pine]

And looking at transcendences code is a good idea, or the sfcore doc in the 1.4 api doc

[chilly timber]

yeah, i was going to do that, but the code looked all weird, there were either no spaces or the characters were illegible, am i using the wrong code maker?

i'm using atom

it says a bunch of stuff about "Visual Studio 2022"

[violet pine]

You need to use a .net ide like vs or rider

[frail spear]

out of curiosity, do the modding utilites (and mods themselves) for hollow knight, use Monomod under the hood?

(asking as someone who doesn't know anything bout hk modding, but has general-purpose modding knowledge (both for native games on win/linux, aswell as JIT games (CIL stuff, and a tiny bit of java bytecode stuff) and is writing a modloader themself)

[merry lotus]

Yup, monomod is used

Mods use the ModdingAPI, which is built for Monomod iirc

[violet pine]

I think so

[frail spear]

kewl

[violet pine]

Yes it is

[merry lotus]

copy pasting the same message to multiple channels is called "Spam" and will get you muted on most servers, just FYI

[fair rampart]

so

there is any way to play hk in android?

[violet pine]

This is #archived-modding-development and yes

[verbal oasis]

Hi, I just downloaded the mod template but I can't build it to a mod can anyone help?

[languid goblet]

open the csproj files and edit the lines to use your hk install

[verbal oasis]

It now says build succesful but I can't find the file anywhere

[verbal oasis]

Should the path be in quotation marks or not?

[light zodiac]

Example path:

<HollowKnightFolder>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed</HollowKnightFolder>

[verbal oasis]

thanks

[orchid arch]

Is there any way I could make a mod without using unity?

[young walrus]

yes. most mods are made without using unity

[real ocean]

how do I make charm effects different?

example if i wanted to make quick slash enchance its swing speed bonus even more

is it possible?

[half moth]

Are you wanting to make a mod to do that?

[limber storm]

You would just want to change the values of ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH and ATTACK_DURATION_CH

Exaltation does this:

private const float STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_DURATION = 0.1f;
private const float STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_COOLDOWN = 0.05f;
...
public override void Initialize()
{
ModHooks.CharmUpdateHook += OnCharmUpdate;        
}
...
private void OnCharmUpdate(PlayerData pd, HeroController hc)
{
if (WearingGlorifiedCharm("QuickSlash"))
    {
    hc.ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH = STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_COOLDOWN;
    hc.ATTACK_DURATION_CH = STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_DURATION;
    }
}

[limber storm]

This just uses those values

[verbal oasis]

I made a mod (or a mod to a mod) where can I upload it? (It is already on github)

[light zodiac]

https://github.com/Simppu/HollowKnight.CustomKnightRandom this?

[verbal oasis]

Yes

[floral blade]

I'd recommend using the custom knight API to get a list of the installed skins and setting the skin at random instead of copying the entire code of CK, which could cause conflicts with the existing mod and will make maintaining the project much harder.

example of getting all installed skins using CK API
https://github.com/PrashantMohta/RandomCompanions/blob/master/RandomCompanions.cs#L56-L57
you can then set the skin by doing

CustomKnight.SkinManager.SetSkinById(_installedSkins[i].GetId());

where i can be the random skin's index.

[real ocean]

private const float STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_DURATION = 0.1f;
private const float STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_COOLDOWN = 0.05f;
...
public override void Initialize()
{
ModHooks.CharmUpdateHook += OnCharmUpdate;
}
...
private void OnCharmUpdate(PlayerData pd, HeroController hc)
{
if (WearingGlorifiedCharm("QuickSlash"))
{
hc.ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH = STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_COOLDOWN;
hc.ATTACK_DURATION_CH = STEEL_TEMPEST_ATTACK_DURATION;
}
}

how doi edit a dll file

this makes swings faster

[limber storm]

I did post that already jsyk
#archived-modding-development message

Ah, I'm not sure you can edit a dll, but you can just make a new file, gimme a sec

        public override string GetVersion() => "1.0";

            Log("Initializing");

            ModHooks.CharmUpdateHook += OnCharmUpdate;

            Log("Initialized");

i am currently

[cyan bluff]

how do i open the zip in visual studio?

[violet pine]

It shows you in the above video

[calm trail]

I am working on adding items into HK and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I use ItemHelper.AddNormalItem to create the item and then I add to the On.UIManager.StartNewGame hook to place the item using ItemChanger. But the item isn't showing up and I'm wondering if there are steps I'm missing or potentially my use of ItemHelper and ItemChanger are messed up?

[fair rampart]

Yup I definitely understand all this

[vocal spire]

You sure StartNewGame is late enough? If item changer immediately places stuff when calling from it instead of keeping a list of things to place, StartNewGame seems way too early. Use something like UnityEngine.SceneManager.ActiveSceneChanged. Also did you do the stuff in the Playerdata bool hooks?

[calm trail]

So I do want it to immediately place it when the game boots up for the first time. And I haven't done anything with the playerdata bool hooks yet. And I'll look into ActiveSceneChanged. That's what ModHooks.SceneChanged deals with right?

[vocal spire]

I personally haven’t used that one, not sure if it’s called too early to place stuff. For the bool stuff, look at the xml documentation for ItemHelper

You’ll basically hook into ModHooks.Get/SetPlayerBool and in get, check if the name = your bool name for the item and if so, return the bool for if it’s been picked up. In set, check the name again, but instead of returning something, you’ll set your variable for if it’s been picked up to the bool parameter you’re given

If you want to check if InventoryHelper worked, just do the get modhook and return true for your bool name

If InventoryHelper doesn’t work, you’ll need to move the call for it to the constructor of your mod (can’t remember atm if you need to do this)

[calm trail]

So I used On.UIManager.StartNewGame because I'm following Transcendence as a reference point since it does similar things just with charms instead of regular items. I'm also not using InventoryHelper yet because I currently just want the item to show up and be able to pick it up

[vocal spire]

Alright

[calm trail]

At this point, I've added the item using ItemHelper, set the PlayerBool hooks and used ItemChanger to place the item. But it still doesn't show up. But the HeroUpdateHook for the item does work but I don't want it to activate until the item is picked up. I also changed the hook for placing the items to be ModHooks.SceneChanged (and I also tried UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.activeSceneChanged) and while that hook did get rid of the NullPointerException that was being thrown (probably due to being called early like you said), the item still doesn't show up.

That's not how ItemChanger works. You can tell IC at any point that there should be an item, and it'll handle placing the item automatically

[cosmic lion]

could I make a mod using Unity itself instead of just VS?

[cosmic lion]

or do i have to just use visual studio

[merry lotus]

AFAIK, WeaverCore is designed for this purpose.

[violet pine]

It depends on what you wanna do, for example when you want to make a complete custom boss's and not modifying already existing attacks unity is with weavercore the easier choices, but you still need to know how to code in c#.

[daring magnet]

yeah,all mod need c#

[cosmic lion]

yeah, i have a begginer knowledge in c# and unity

[jolly oriole]

same

[violet pine]

also sfg makes tot

and sfcore

[chilly timber]

I use linux, and i got the visual studio for linux, but software updater doesn't work, anyone know another way to install the .deb?

(i mean ubuntu software)

i thought that might be relevant here, because i need VS for making my mods

does visual studio code not work for modding?

i can't open any dlls or pdbs

[violet pine]

That are build projects

You have to download the code from github

[chilly timber]

oh

lol

ok thanks

[violet pine]

And you should take a look at this
https://prashantmohta.github.io/ModdingDocs/

[chilly timber]

...

i did

you sent that exact message to me a while ago

this is the mod i want to make:

This mod adds a new charm called Enshrouded Warrior that increases your nail damage by 80% and causes your nail to deal spell damage. However, your sword doesn't give you soul, instead it costs 6, if you are out of soul, this charm has no effect on your damage and damage type. It also removes the use of spells, and increases the soul cost of Focus by 7. It also causes the kingsoul effects.

(probably like all of the slots)

[daring magnet]

If you want to add a new charm, SFcore can make it easier

[violet pine]

And take a look at more healing code bc it adds new charms using sfcore

[daring magnet]

or Transcendence

[violet pine]

Yes but more healing is easier for the start

[jolly oriole]

and also by the creator of sfcore

[chilly timber]

ok thanks

[violet pine]

You told a person how to be a programmer great job

[calm trail]

How do you add the big text that you get with items like dash and spells but for new items? I was looking through CanvasUtil for anything and couldn't find anything

[floral blade]

both Satchel and itemChanger have a utility to add those.
https://github.com/PrashantMohta/Smolknight/blob/master/Items/Beeg.cs#L11-L24 satchel version

[calm trail]

Thanks!

[calm trail]

So it looks like I need to get my custom item's GameObject and am unsure on how to do that. I tried preloading it but that also wasn't working (I think because it doesn't exist until after the preload happens)

[daring magnet]

preload what

[violet pine]

I think they want to preload their own go?

And you can access your go?

[daring magnet]

load assetbundle?

[violet pine]

I think they made their custom item but don't know how to access it

[calm trail]

Yeah, I made my own item and am trying to add the big text you get for spells and such. And when using satchel, I need to get the GameObject for my item but am unsure how to do that

I tried using Unity's Scene Manager to get a scene and get the object that way but it kept saying it was an invalid scene

[violet pine]

You made the item a go?

[calm trail]

I used ItemChanger's Finder.DefineCustomItem to make it. And when using UnityExplorer, it shows up as a GameObject

[steady comet]

Can you share info about your AbstractItem? Did you put a UIDef on it? If you put a BigUIDef on it then it should automatically get the big item popup

@calm trail

[calm trail]

So I didn't know BigUIDef was a thing. It's a BoolItem with a regular MsgUIDef on it.

This is the first mod I've made so a lot of this is new to me

[steady comet]

Yeah, if you put a BigUIDef instead then it will have the big item popup

[steady comet]

Yeah that's fine lol, this is ItemChanger stuff so probably not familiar to HK modders who haven't used it

[calm trail]

Thanks! That worked so well!

[supple depot]

I had an idea

so there would be a mod that adds the rain timer from rain world (silly idea I know) so the rain timer begins when you get up off a bench and finishes when you sit at another bench

[merry lotus]

This channel is for if you're actively developing a mod. If you just have an idea for one, then you want #modding-discussion 👍

[supple depot]

Ok

thanks

[true stratus]

is there a mod development guide or tutorial (i didn't really search but i wanted to ask before) ?

true

someone should type out every byte for every spritesheet like you would normally do within customknight in cs files and define a byte[] array for them in the classes then load them into the game (shouldnt)

[violet pine]

What? That's to easy

Edit the DLL to contain it

[rough pulsar]

no, you have to type out every byte in hexadecimals in a byte array manually by hand

[violet pine]

Modify your hard drive with hand to contain it
