fixes both or

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

what does it mean by "installation path"?

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

find the steam install folder

#

in there find steamapps

#

in that common

#

in that "Hollow Knight"

#

select that

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

may I ask what's your file paths? I might add more options to check for "default" filepaths

#

for now it's only checking for
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Hollow Knight"

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

\\steamapps

#

\\Steam

#

why tho

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

cause I CAN

#

nah

#

I copied it from somewhere

#

and it just came like that

rain cedar Feb 17, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

Just put an @ in front of the string instead of double backslash

#

It looks way nicer

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

@solemn rivet file path saved

#

can still get it to ""

#

if I hit cancel tho

#

luckily, that doesn't save (if it's "")

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

so it just asks for path again?

#

thanks Sean!

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

no

#

it says Hollow Knight Data Path: and brings up the UI

#

but if I quit out and stuff

#

it asks me again, if I had hit cancel

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

what do I do to select the mods?

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

??

#

Install a Mod --> select the .dll

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

the .dlls don't appear

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:25 AM

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:26 AM

swap to all files and see if they show up

#

from "Mod files

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:27 AM

still nothing

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:27 AM

that's definitely the right dir?

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:27 AM

that is the right folder

#

if i go to the exact same folder everything is there

#

but it just won't show up in the selection screen

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

do any other files show up

#

in any other dirs

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:29 AM

nope

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:29 AM

with it set to all files

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:29 AM

nothing

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:30 AM

idk then

Folders show up?

spare matrix Feb 17, 2018, 2:30 AM

not after that specific point

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

that fixes your issue, 56

#

also the filters

something glitched out my filters

added an extra "\ and \"

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 2:50 AM

did it create the folder tho?

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:51 AM

yea

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 2:51 AM

weird

#

just to check

that is the Hollow Knight install path for you, right?

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 2:52 AM

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 3:10 AM

do you have it fetch a links file on like a public github repo

#

or is it just in the thing

pearl sentinel Feb 17, 2018, 3:11 AM

right now it's just a file in a folder in the app. if we put the file on google drive or somewhere i could download it easily tho

You're on windows 10?

pearl sentinel Feb 17, 2018, 4:01 AM

#

anyone know what the difference between the API version of bonefire mod and the non-api is? or is there any

trim grove Feb 17, 2018, 4:02 AM

#

one works with other mods too?

pearl sentinel Feb 17, 2018, 4:02 AM

#

well i mean, is there any reason that my mod downloader should get the non-api version

#

sounds like no

trim grove Feb 17, 2018, 4:02 AM

#

i would think not

#

typically you'd aim for most compat

pearl sentinel Feb 17, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

yeah, just making sure it didn't have some additional features for some reason

buoyant wasp Feb 17, 2018, 4:04 AM

#

the non-api version is legacy at this point

#

i don't even know if it is 1.2.2.1

pearl sentinel Feb 17, 2018, 4:04 AM

#

gotcha

hearty willow Feb 17, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

"zote god"

#

like

#

grey prince

#

or actual zote

rain cedar Feb 17, 2018, 8:23 AM

#

The only thing I see about zote in the mod is that it automatically rescues zote in both places

#

So you can always fight grey prince

fair rampart Feb 17, 2018, 9:08 AM

#

@rain cedar Lol that mod actually exists?

rain cedar Feb 17, 2018, 9:09 AM

#

I don't know what you're referring to so I'm gonna default to yes

fair rampart Feb 17, 2018, 9:10 AM

#

I'm talking about a mod that makes zote auto-rescued

rain cedar Feb 17, 2018, 9:11 AM

#

It's part of hell mod

#

For some reason

#

Ask 56

fair rampart Feb 17, 2018, 9:12 AM

#

Wow

#

@copper nacelle why?

#

I guess zote is now so mighty he doesn't need rescuing?

how do i install lightbringer without it crashing?

#

do you have the latest version?

lyric moss Feb 17, 2018, 12:10 PM

1.2.2.1

#

or 1.2.1.1 i think

rain cedar Feb 17, 2018, 12:10 PM

#

I doubt that

ornate rivet Feb 17, 2018, 12:11 PM

#

if you are using steam make sure to get the steam files and if you are using gog make sure to get the non drm files

rain cedar Feb 17, 2018, 12:12 PM

There should be crash logs

can you show me that message?

I literally just tried it myself to see what would happen, and got nothing

use the first button if you don't have API installed (you do, so don't use it (or do, it won't matter))
use the second button to select the mods (only the mods, not the API)]

doesn't it save the dir tho?

where is that?

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 6:11 PM

that's the thing in local

it has \hollow_knighgt_data\Managed\Mods

it won't work if you try loading mods, but it should work for managing

managing has no mods inside

like it shows nothing

like I said, don't try loading mods

hate to say it

but it didn't save any settings this time

it doesn't make another folder like the rest of them did

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 6:34 PM

did it autofind your installation? Or did you have to find it yourself?

languid sinew Feb 17, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

can someone please explain why this boss rush mod is based on luck to get the right items?

#

because last time I beat this I had to face radiance without shade cloak and nkg without dash at all

#

it hurts

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

because otherwise it would be op

#

@solemn rivet it autofound

#

you could get shade soul + fluke ez

#

and win every fight without even a bit of difficulty

languid sinew Feb 17, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

but couldn't you at least get the main items on the bosses that gives them

#

like get mothwing from hornet

#

vengeful spirit after false knight

young walrus Feb 17, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

But if you do that, then you don't get to experience unique situations you'd never run into in vanilla

languid sinew Feb 17, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

then couldn't it have like two different boss rush modes

gusty sparrow Feb 17, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

get shade from hornet

#

um

#

you mean mothwing right

#

also can confirm facing any first set boss with shade cloak is super fun

languid sinew Feb 17, 2018, 6:55 PM

yea mothwing

copper nacelle Feb 17, 2018, 7:12 PM

I have a version that handles zips instead of dll

which allows for installation of mods that have resources (like randomizer)

still no idea how to fix your issue, 56

Does the dll randomizer not work?

solemn rivet Feb 17, 2018, 8:16 PM

it does

the zips actually contain the dll

but it contains other resources as well

it works for multiple mods at once also

what was the problem

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

currently working on implementing downloading mods you do not have

#

it was, once again, codeflow

#

basically, I was telling it to break the foreach that tried all drive letters after finding at least one NTFS driver

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

wouldn't that

#

be no

#

cause c exists

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

so it found your C:\ drive, tried the default paths, found nothing, and then it breaks

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

before d

#

oof

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

and defaults the installPath to ""

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

rip

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

hence why it was trying to install in "\hollow_knight_data\managed\mods"

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

o

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

but it works, so it's fine

#

also, like I said, now it handles zips instead of .dlls

#

so that's nice

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

only zips?

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:15 AM

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:16 AM

he has a mono solution that takes the vanilla assembly and spits out the API

adding hooks in their correct spots

so he just has to feed it a linux assembly

and the paths

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 1:18 AM

that's why I said Wyza could trivialize this

unless you want to manually add each hook into the linux assembly

you just put it in

Really anyone running a linux distro could do this easily

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:18 AM

like you put in the windows assemblies

#

yeah

#

it's not even effort

#

it's like 2 lines of code

#

and putting in the assemblies

#

like normal

#

r e

#

can you compile the api w/ mono

#

rebooting takes slight amounts of effort

rain cedar Feb 18, 2018, 1:19 AM

No idea

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:20 AM

#

i wish I could mount my ext4 partition on windows

buoyant wasp Feb 18, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

honestly the only thing the "mac" build does is look in the mac folder for the files and then outputs to a folder that is named "Mac"

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

would be way easier

#

time to get ext2fsd

buoyant wasp Feb 18, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

so a linux build would be basically the same thing, would just copy the post-build steps from the mac one, for a linux one, and make a linux folder and done. (other than making that one change to check for the path based on OS in the Loader)

hollow tree Feb 18, 2018, 7:54 AM

#

@copper nacelle Thank you. I exchanged the Assembly-CSharp.dll and it seems to work.

#

Just two things: First does someone know how HK linux saves your progress? Because when I install the mods my saves are empty and when I copy my backup "Managed" folder back my saves are back too. I just don't want to accidently overwrite my non-modded saves, so I'd like to backup my saves.

#

Second, when having the mod-API installed I can't switch from fullscreen mode to windowed mode. I can't even select the menu item. When reverting to my backup I can switch to windowed mode.

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 7:58 AM

#

second thing happened to me too

#

for the first thing: files are in ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight

#

iirc

#

@hollow tree

hollow tree Feb 18, 2018, 8:00 AM

Thank you. :)

#

So is this behaviour normal for the mod API or just the linux version. I mean, I can work around it. That's no problem. Just curious.

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

Linux version

hollow tree Feb 18, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

Ah, okay.

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

you can do windowed with game args tho

#

-screen-fullscreen 0

#

iirc

hollow tree Feb 18, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

I actually just wanted to switch screens with the windowed mode, since Manjaro or KDE just open the game on my smallest screen. I reverted back to non-modded game and switched the screen. Now KDE remembers that for me. :)

#

All good.

#

Other question: Is it wanted that the Randomizer folder in google drive is empty?

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

uh

#

I'm pretty sure that's not intended

#

wait it's not empty

It should detect your hollow knight folder on startup after a short loading, then enter the main menu. It currently supports installing and un-installing of all the mods listed (which should be most in the google drive).

Mod conflits (for example, between assembly-csharp writing mods) are checked and resolved.
Any files a mod writes over should be backed up and replaced when un-installing.
Mod dependencies should be downloaded automatically.

#

mod readme files are currently placed in a Readme folder in the hollow knight root directory

is there any reason why you don't just update after you check any box

pearl sentinel Feb 18, 2018, 10:27 PM

#

because you might want to un-install some stuff too, or do more than one

#

or misclick

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 10:28 PM

#

o

#

imo you should make it be called apply or something

pearl sentinel Feb 18, 2018, 10:28 PM

probably a good idea

i'll add a TODO for that

all right, you just need a small functions list/basic info attached to the link

@serene thistle where is your hollow knight game installed at? is it GOG or steam?

Crossroads: Mod Loader for Hollow Knight (v0.51, Windows 7/10 support)

@buoyant obsidian I have lightbringer installed, but I want to play an old vanilla save file without lightbringer. It was in my saves when I installed lightbringer, but I don't know if it turned it into modded. I have a backup of it, but also don't know how to uninstall lightbringer.

You can uninstall Lightbringer by verifying your game files on Steam

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 10:51 PM

Also it won't affect any saves you don't load

buoyant obsidian Feb 18, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

your save file will be fine unless you accidentally loaded it at any point while Lightbringer was installed

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 10:52 PM

But it's always good to backup your saves

pearl sentinel Feb 18, 2018, 10:52 PM

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 10:54 PM

It is basically the same ui as before, but it also lists mods you do not have installed. If you check them, it asks if you want to download them

copper nacelle Feb 18, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

API only or no

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 10:55 PM

#

I can make it work with non-api

#

Also, I'll have to make it handle zips that only contain the dll

#

Instead of the whole folder structure

#

Not terribly hard to do either

serene thistle Feb 18, 2018, 10:57 PM

kerr, i cant afford the original version yet

don't expect anyone to help you for having a pirated copy of the game

#

if you really, really like the game... you'd delete the pirated one and buy it when you have enough money

solemn rivet Feb 18, 2018, 11:00 PM

I love how the intro to Joseph Anderson's critique on HK is basically "how come this game is so cheap!?! Buy it now!!!"

how do i get rid of a mod from modding api?

hazy sentinel Feb 19, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

delet the mod's .dll

#

or just move it to another folder

solemn rivet Feb 19, 2018, 1:45 AM

#

^

solemn rivet Feb 19, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

only thing left to do is implement downloading

#

oh, and it's API only (for now)

#

just a quick fix brb

#

done!

📎 ModInstaller.exe

#

this accepts zips and dlls, in whatever folder structure, including 753's mods!

#

be warned, however, that it does not (for now) back up your save files, so please be careful when installing the modding API and 753's mods

#

@copper nacelle if you'd be so kind...

#

and off I go for today

copper nacelle Feb 19, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

omw home rn

#

so I'll do it in like 2 min

#

@solemn rivet weird thing I noticed

#

you have to double click the checkbox

#

first click selects the mod, then you can check the checkbox

#

(this isn't a new thing tho)

#

seems to be working, but I haven't tested installing mods

solemn rivet Feb 19, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

That's how checkboxes work in winforms, for some reason

#

Once a cell is selected tho you can enable and disable it multiple times with one click

copper nacelle Feb 19, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

side note: do you have a github repo

solemn rivet Feb 19, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

Will try and fix that in the future, but since that's a non-issue, I'll postpone it for now

#

I do

#

Not on pc rn, but it should be ayugradow

Updated my mod loader. Now supports backing up of your saves and loading the backups, as well as manual game folder selection for users that had trouble with automatic detection. In addition, unapplied changes to mods should show as yellow in the mod list.

what does it kean to tick stuff? why? do i gotta download stuff, put it in then tick the box so it applies changes??

those were my first thoughts

so i gave up and did stuff manually

which i see now was a mistake

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:20 AM

you don't download stuff w/ kerr's

for kerr's, you open it, check the box, and click apply

for gradow's you open it, press install, select the mod

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:36 AM

#

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:37 AM

solemn rivet Feb 20, 2018, 1:37 AM

#

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:37 AM

#

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

the additional missing files were from blackmoth mod

solemn rivet Feb 20, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:38 AM

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:38 AM

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:40 AM

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:40 AM

#

solemn rivet Feb 20, 2018, 1:42 AM

#

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:45 AM

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:46 AM

I have to update that

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:51 AM

ヽ（´ー｀）┌

#

thanks for clarifying

solemn rivet Feb 20, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

no need to be salty

ancient nebula Feb 20, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

im being sincere with this

exotic venture Feb 20, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

i tried blackmoth steel soul but kept dying due to vanilla being an ass with sharp shadow

#

and suddenly refusing to do dmg

#

and a 1 dmg nail is more miserable than hell mod in that regard

solemn rivet Feb 20, 2018, 1:57 AM

#

kek

#

sorry, Mystery

#

I really wish I could fix that

#

but I have no idea why it breaks, so I have no way to fix it

#

maybe next patch?

copper nacelle Feb 20, 2018, 1:57 AM
