What shit are you on? I’m just saying not everyone is gonna buy shit, I’m not saying to get a mod for free lol.

#

And why the unneeded sarcasm? It’s just a idea?

#

Just because I don’t want to pay for mods, and thus not get them doesn’t mean I’m a beggar

#

Lol, it’s like looking at a price and saying, “never mind, don’t wanna spend that much, so Im not gonna buy it.”

waxen gate Can someone make a custom boss fight where you fight iselda? If I recall, she me...

Just throwing this out there:
Zaliant was responding to the way you suggested this idea.

Instead of saying "can someone do X" when suggesting an idea, consider "has anyone done X?" or simply saying "I would love to one day see a mod with X".

And then you doubled down by asking for your name to be credited despite the idea not being very original (suggesting X npc be a boss fight, when the npc is common and literally says that they used to fight, is not really unique of an idea to begin with).

#

Relatedly- this channel isn't for suggestions. #modding-discussion is.

I didn’t see one at the time so thought no one made it

vocal spire Jan 17, 2022, 7:03 PM

#

A better way to put the stuff about giving credit: if you wrote up a whole move set, that’s worthy of credit, suggesting a mod doesn’t really warrant credit. I don’t want to come off as attacking you, as it’s not my intention, but I feel like that should be cleared up

given how I'm testing another mod of mine rn and it's literally freezing the game

i dont know how to code either lmao

HK mods are in unity correct?

if so, someday i might learn

languid goblet Jan 17, 2022, 9:26 PM

c#, you don't need unity to make simpler mods

now I remember why I took a break from modding

Does anyone here have experience with 2D raycasts onto sprites in hollow knight/other unity apps? I'm trying to raycast the middle of the screen onto the map objects of the GameMap, but no matter what I do I don't seem to detect anything. I've added PolygonCollider2D components to each object

How would one go about a new custom npc. I don't want to edit the map just dropping in a npc with dialog. I dont see anything on it in the wiki. One thing to add, how would i then allow the npc to open a store screen to then buy items.

iron birch Jan 18, 2022, 9:55 PM

you could edit sprites for an npc

use godump and spritepacker from pins

there might be updated versions, so check to be sure

I have a script that can be combined with a zote preload from dirtmouth that edits the fsm on it according to how you set it up, then you can use ~~frogcore’s undocumented tk2d utilities to change the sprites~~. I’ve been working on a version for shop npcs, not close to finishing it though.

Question

I copied the bench from one location to another (custom) and sat on the copy. The knight properly respawns on it after death, but after loading that savefile from menu the camera seems to be stuck on (0;0) and refuses to follow the knight anywhere, including next areas, where it just spawns at (0,0) again.

I suppose it has something to do with CameraController but i ran out of ideas how to fix it. Any advice?

floral blade Jan 20, 2022, 3:14 PM

#

iirc this has something to do with the TileMap not being set, try checking your player.log for errors

#

and if you need to then then just preload a TileMap and use that

#

it was that or this https://github.com/PrashantMohta/Satchel/blob/0f74c026bfe8c034d12c09952b8ca877981ff260/Custom/CustomScene.cs#L68-L82

As some of you may have heard I am currently working on the sequel to impossible Any% by Gwonkee, Impossible TE (True Ending/Radiance Ending). Currently I am around a forth of the way done so it may be another couple of months until it's complete. I have attached a short demo ranging from kings station to Relic Seeker Lemm. For those of you who don't know the route, you will travel through Watchers Spire and over the city bridge until you reach Lemm. Any feedback, questions, etc. would be very appreciated.

link to the demo: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gBEf__xxQDCLqVbIk-VoZEkqMUJLqX9t?usp=sharing
Required Tech for the Demo:
-Fireball skips
-spike tunnels
-Watchers Spire lever skip(through use of Qol)
At this point in the run you will have mantis claw, Fireball, dream nail, and cloak. Additionally use of infinite health (using debug) to save time as well as bench warp are strongly recommended.

zinc magnet what should i use to make hollow knight mods?

Common ides are visual studio community and rider. If you want to make custom assets in unity to assetbundle, then ofc you’ll also need unity. The unity version depends on what ver of hk you want to mod. For 1.5.x.x it’s 2020.2.2, for 1.4.3.2 it’s 2017.something

#

I’ll also send you a link to the hollow knight modding server, there you can get the dev channels role then look around in dev-resources

Anyone here have experience with making custom skins? I'm wanting to get into it but I need some work-flow tips because I can't make heads or tails of the texture files. I have experience making textures for other games and making digital art in general, so that's not really where I'm struggling. I'm just confused about how to make skins specifically for hollow knight

vocal spire Feb 5, 2022, 3:00 AM

#

2 main ways: edit the spritesheets, or edit the "decompiled" single sprites (usually preferred)

hoary basin Feb 5, 2022, 3:01 AM

the spritesheets look like incomprehensible messes to me, where can i find the single sprites

Good places to start modding is reading the apidocs (for 1.4.3.2) and the 1.5 docs (links can be found in the dev-resources channel in the hollow knight modding server). Also there’s a lot of resources in the pins of this channel and the dev-resources channel. I’ll dm you a link to the hollow knight modding server, once there, get the dev channels role.

the kingsmoulds have a parent so you have to get the nameof the object with slaashes to indicate the position in the hierarchy. Easy way to do it is to get the scene dump from the pins of this channel (posted by homothety),search for your object in your scene and replace back slash with forward slaash

vocal spire Feb 14, 2022, 2:00 AM

Completely new bosses should probably be made in unity

Not really true. Given that all the game code revolves around unity a basic knowledge is required

Not sure if it's the right place, but I'd just like to ask if there's any information on whether enemy randomizer is being worked on being implemented into scarab?

like both at the same time

vocal spire Feb 14, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

Only knowledge of how to program with it is required

#

And basic knowledge at that

#

Most stuff you’ll do is from the ModdingApi

#

Preload pure vessel
Use a hook to use GameObject.Instantiate(purevesselreference, new Vector3(x position, y position, purevesselreference.transform.position.z, purevesselreference.transform.rotation) for the nkg room
Edit pure vessel’s fsm to make sure it works right (probably minimal editing, just modify the y position of the arena, the min and max x positions, the y position it spawns at when teleporting into the air)
Do stuff to make sure either both bosses have shared health or beating both is required for the sequence to progress

having some basic understanding of unity (the engine) is needed, unity (the editor) is optional but also helps when making more complex new things

How hard would it be to make sporeshrooms explosion effect look more like what PV uses in his boss fight?

violet pine Feb 27, 2022, 11:05 AM

#

Not the hardest just change the range and let it appear on random points

waxen raft Feb 27, 2022, 11:11 AM

#

How about altering the visual on it? Tbh I don't have any experience with this but I figured slightly changing a charm effect would be a good learning point

violet pine Feb 27, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

Yes it can be a good way to learn

#

Altering the visual isn't the hardest,and for sporeshroom you could look at pvs focus fsm

@solemn rivet

Two questions:

1. Do you mind if someone else adds-to / updates Enemy HP Bars?
1. It looks like there was a pr on the github for it with updates being added- have you looked at that at all yet?

solemn rivet Mar 1, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

I hadn't seen the PR

#

ty for the heads up!

#

to question 1: not at all!

#

if you'd like it I can add you as a collaborator to the project so you don't have to keep PRing it (and I don't have to accept it lmao)

merry lotus Mar 1, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

If @floral blade is fine with it, you might want to add them instead? They are more familiar with doing GitHub things than I am lol

#

Although notably, neither of us made that existing pr :P
I was just talking about wanting to update the mod on the Modding server, and then Dandy noticed that there was the pending pr for it, and I figured I'd ping you

solemn rivet Mar 1, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

yeah, that's fine

#

anyhoo, the mod is inactive, so if anyone is doing real work on it, might as well add them as collab

floral blade Mar 1, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

while i don't mind being added as such, i think the authors of the current PR, if they're interested in maintaining the mod, should probably be added as collaborators.

solemn rivet Mar 1, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

well, I leave it as it is

#

I made a shitty python script (which Angle later improved to Certified Shit ™️) to randomly choose a series of languages to translate each line, and then back to English

#

But I didn't proof read so there was a bunch of tokens and shit getting mistranslated and breaking dialogue trees

Can someone help me out

I am entirely new to modding and I was hoping to make a simple mod, starting with replacing text that appears in game, and maybe eventually replacing the knight's textures once I get the hang of it. Can anyone tell me where to start and what kind of software I need?

thick glacier Mar 13, 2022, 10:26 AM

Custom Knight did that already

ah shoot this is gonna take a while isn't it

spice tusk Mar 13, 2022, 10:47 AM

I'll try that once I get some good time on my hands

For now how could I make a mod that changes in game text (such as boss names/dialogue)?

#

I imagined that'd be the easiest way to start trying my hand at this

daring magnet Mar 13, 2022, 11:40 AM

You can find its code on Github

So it would be a massive undertaking but I had what I think is a really cool idea, the bestest ending. Requires you to complete all of p5 while holding an intact delicate flower. Instead of becoming shade Lord and killing absolute radiance, you give it the flower, and radiance chooses to simply pass on, finding peace in your strangely kind gesture. Or maybe choosing to coexist inside the knight or pure vessel, either way I think it would be a cool additional challenge

not sure if anyone is around at this time, but I'm having an issue in the DeathCounter mod where the counters just stop displaying
only times I have heard of it happening is after someone uses benchwarp (could happen at other times, but after warping has been when people notice it occurring)

#

code is here if anyone is able to lend a hand
https://github.com/ygsbzr/DeathCounter/blob/master/DeathCounter/DeathCounter.cs
I added a bunch of logs to it recently, but nothing is showing up unexpectedly
no errors, and after the counters disappear, all the logs show up as if it was all fine

thick glacier Mar 22, 2022, 1:32 PM

#

@daring magnet

steady comet Mar 22, 2022, 2:47 PM

#

If I had to guess, based on what you said about benchwarp, the issue is that this callback https://github.com/ygsbzr/DeathCounter/blob/master/DeathCounter/DeathCounter.cs#L68 isn't invoked in that situation so it never reappears

arctic thunder Mar 22, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

I'm not sure why the counters would disappear in that case though
OnUnpause not triggering would just mean the whole process doesn't trigger, not that they are removed but never added
and it doesn't explain why from that point on the unpause trigger doesn't make them show up again
is it possible they are still being rendered somewhere else / underneath something?

daring magnet Mar 22, 2022, 11:40 PM

#

Or we can add a menubutton to apply setting instead use Uiclosepausemenuhook

I missed new-ing up one level, so I was assigning something indeed not set to an instance of an object

shortening it down, I left off the new Cs in:
{ "A", new B { Death = new C { X = 2.2f, Y = 11.3f }, Damage = new C { X = 4.3f, Y = 11.3f } } }

Is there any ongoing project to facilitate the modification of game files with a usable interface? (for example, a simple tool with a UI to do certain things like rearrange save files, make backups etc that will be intuitive for everyone)

#

if not, I think it could be a cool idea, and I'd love to help make it.

like scarab for mod installing, but just for doing simple things with the game files

@chilly narwhal

If you look in the .csproj file, there should be a line that looks like

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

you might need to change that to point to your modded HK installation

#

(That's the default location if you have Steam on Windows but it might be different for you. Make sure you've installed the modding API, probably using Scarab, first though.)

chilly narwhal Apr 1, 2022, 6:57 AM

ah

#

also, what should the ExportDir path be?

steady comet Apr 1, 2022, 6:57 AM

Hello!

In order to change the cost of a charm, can't I do this?:

PlayerData.instance.charmCost_36_C = 11;

Note: 36_C is the charm Id for voidheart

If so why isn't it working?

#

I'm starting to think that its read-only

rough pulsar Apr 1, 2022, 6:28 PM

#

it aint read only

#

what function did you put that line of code in

#

it's probably not hooked to anything, but also i dont think you can modify charm costs in initialize method if that's what you're trying

#

@small heart

limber storm Apr 1, 2022, 6:30 PM

#

There's no _C in the Charm ID

#

It's just charmCost_36

small heart Apr 1, 2022, 6:31 PM

#

No since that charm slot can be White frag, king soul, and void heart, it has A, B, C

limber storm Apr 1, 2022, 6:31 PM

#

There's a _C in the dialogue files, not in the PlayerData

#

rough pulsar Apr 1, 2022, 6:32 PM

#

ima check my save with void heart

#

looks like it's modified in an event in-game

#

you can still modify charmCost_36 to be 11

#

also since that change can be permanent even if the player uninstalls mod, i suggest doing GetPlayerInt hook

limber storm Apr 1, 2022, 6:37 PM

#

These are when the cost is changed in-game

small heart Apr 1, 2022, 6:43 PM

small heart Apr 1, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

ok

rough pulsar Apr 1, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

private int GetPlayerInt(string target)
{
    if (target == "charmCost_36") // kingsoul/void heart
        return 11;
}

small heart Apr 1, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

  private int GetPlayerInt(string target)
    {
        if (target == "charmCost_36")
            return 11;
        return PlayerData.instance.GetIntInternal(target);
    }

still not working, i added another return statement as the default return

The people that check this channel do check it when they're active.
But consider that there are only like a dozen active HK devs in general, and they are all over the world, so timezones are a big factor.

Also, the HK Modding Discord server is a little more active in terms of Dev responses / support, although even then, sometimes there just aren't any active devs around for a bit.

To me, it looks like you're trying to launch something that cannot be launched; it needs to be referenced by a different running program.

I can't help much more than that though, because I haven't actively programmed in nearly a decade maggotprime

#

Also, you may be an unfortunate victim of how Discord handles banning, which is via IP + username ban. So if someone with the same Public IP as you was banned, then you would also be affected. This is made more obnoxious by the fact that some ISPs put a large number of members on the same Public IP due to IPv4 limitations.

are you trying to test your hk mod? you would have to build the project normally, open the mods folder via scarab, make a folder the same name as dll and paste the dll and pdb file in there

#

For whats the pdb again

jolly oriole Apr 4, 2022, 11:33 AM

so when there's an error like

the first says what error it was, vasi and qol lines are with pdb, so you see in which files with the line of the file the error occured and the last would be how it looks without pdb

say I wanted to replace all the shade soul sprites with images I already have

#

how do I do that?

supple spade Apr 6, 2022, 11:10 PM

#

You could paste the images onto the spritesheet with shade soul, or use Spritepacker to replace them

#

Copy-paste is technically quicker but Spritepacker will get you better results

#

And you'll be able to see the image size requirements

clear blaze Apr 8, 2022, 11:54 PM

so I have this sprite sheet, it's an unused one with a funky shade soul animation. It's not in the same layout as void spell sprite sheets from the actual game. Is it possible to use custom knight creator to recreate this shade soul animation and pack it into a readable sprite sheet?

without having to muck about manually editing the sheet

merry lotus Apr 9, 2022, 1:03 AM

clear blaze so I have this sprite sheet, it's an unused one with a funky shade soul animatio...

No to "can I easily do this without manually editing things", because it's not in a format that currently has anything to automate it

hey y'all, i'm very new to mod development and was wondering if anyone could point me to some good resources to get started 🙂

#

i have the hk-modding api cloned and followed the readme (wouldn't build but i prob just messed up the setup). aside from that and some decent knowledge of c#, i'm a noob with mod dev stuff

steady comet Apr 9, 2022, 4:09 AM

#

@wind coyote

You shouldn't need to clone the hk-modding api repository unless you're planning on modifying the api. You can just download the modding API by running Scarab - it'll replace the Assembly-CSharp.dll file in the game files with the modded version (which is the one you should reference in your mod's csproj).

Depending on what your relationship with C# is you can get a mod template from nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/HKModding.HKMod.Templates/1.0.0 or from the WIP modding guide at https://prashantmohta.github.io/ModdingDocs/ (has some useful resources too). Most mods are on github so you can probably learn stuff by browsing the modding source.

Also there's a separate modding discord server you can access by looking at DwarfWoot's discord profile (they posted in this channel a few messages ago).

Not to my knowledge. I only knew about the unused shade soul because of a mossbag video, and when I asked him about it, he was able to grab me the unused sprite sheet that was all organised weirdly

dark wigeon Apr 10, 2022, 3:26 PM

#

while it's definitely possible, me and I think grenade tried this out earlier and found a slight issue. I wanted it to be like you load a single game object into a bundle and reference the dependencies in the level file. turns out the dependencies list in a bundle does not load the file if it's currently unloaded. the only solution is to do exactly what hkwe2 does and either load each asset as a different bundle or pack them all into one bundle

dark wigeon Apr 11, 2022, 1:22 AM

yeah I have no idea. I need to research that bit of loading soon for a different project anyway

when it comes to making custom knight skins, do you have to include the red lines that are on the existing sprites or can you leave them off?

hybrid totem Apr 11, 2022, 3:27 PM

#

waxen raft when it comes to making custom knight skins, do you have to include the red line...

Red lines? Also #modding-discussion should be the place

waxen raft Apr 11, 2022, 7:02 PM

Like on this for example, also my bad 😅

languid goblet Apr 11, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

the red lines represent the boundaries

#

if you draw anything outside the red lines, it'll be cut off

#

but the red lines themselves don't show up

fair rampart Apr 12, 2022, 1:28 AM

languid goblet but the red lines themselves don't show up

for me they do

@earnest jewel if you go to your game files location, and go Managed/Mods, that's where Scarab installs mods. You can then place your own mod inside a folder in that directory (so it's like Managed/Mods/IwannMod/IwannMod.dll) and it'll be loaded by the game when you open up

(This is assuming you've used Scarab before to play modded HK)

SendEvent sends events to things called FSMs, or finite state machines
they're basically flowcharts that control things like enemy ai

#

SendEvent isn't used much in the game code, but you'll probably use it a lot when modding in order to change the behavior of FSMs

~~though I just use SetState instead~~

Main differences between modding for HK 1.4.3.2 and HK 1.5.75

.NET Framework 4.7.2 instead of 3.5
Modcommon (and SereCore) no longer exist; I'd recommend switching to Vasi for a simple FSM extensions library, or one of the other core mods (e.g. Satchel, SFCore, FrogCore) if you need additional functionality
Implementing Save/Global settings has changed (example https://github.com/hk-modding/api/blob/master/Examples/CustomSaveData/CustomSaveData.cs)
The Mod menu that the API adds is a lot more functional, and an easy way to let users toggle global settings in-game (docs https://hk-modding.github.io/api/articles/menu_api.html)
Using modhooks means you have to do ModHooks.??? rather than ModHooks.instance.???
The API for the Get/Set player ??? hooks, and the LanguageGetHook, have changed (see https://hk-modding.github.io/api/api/Modding.ModHooks.html for info on the new hooks; notably you should never need to call GetXInternal or SetXInternal in your function)
The mapi is no longer being ILMerged, so it's made up of a bunch of files and you may have to reference more than just Assembly-CSharp (typically you will have to add references to MMHOOK_Assembly-CSharp and/or MMHOOK_Playmaker to use On hooks)
ReflectionHelper.GetAttr has changed to ReflectionHelper.GetField (same for SetField) - this can just be a simple find/replace
If you're modifying FSMs, then adding transitions works slightly differently; I recommend looking at how Vasi and/or SFCore changed their implementations if you don't want to just use a core library

#

- original message from Flib, on the Modding discord

strong nacelle Apr 23, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

can it be because i had .net core project instead of .net framework?

vocal spire Apr 23, 2022, 3:56 PM

That is the problem

steady comet Apr 23, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

junior needle you should have this constructor: public MyMod() : base("MyMod") { }

You don't actually need this, because if you say public MyMod() the compiler will implicitly include public MyMod() : base(null) which the modding API translates to base("MyMod") (https://github.com/hk-modding/api/blob/master/Assembly-CSharp/Mod.cs#L47)
