#

in my opinion the right approach is to just look at the code and make a text file and translate each line individually

#

so

#

where you see ret = @

#

you can translate the text in quotes right after that

rocky moss Jul 3, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

ow wait

#

so i just edit the file and send you?

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

blackmoth isn't my mod but if you did that I could send the changes to gradow

rocky moss Jul 3, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

k

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

or if it's easier just make a new file

rocky moss Jul 3, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

k again

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

and just write the translations in that

#

whatever works for you

rocky moss Jul 3, 2018, 7:03 PM

Says they're trying to make a translation, also says their English isn't good

#

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:23 PM

#

wait, you're translating the Blackmoth descriptions?

#

Add that to my list

#

after I'm done with

#

the rest of the game

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

hey folding would you be so kind as to help me with translating redwing when I finish writing the lore for it?

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

Of course

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

I'll make sure to translate the redwing-specific material

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

thanks tho

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

but currently translating the wiki and it's taking longer than I expected

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

yeah no it seems like a crazy big project

#

bigger than the game itself

#

by far

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

I've translated 12 pages and a half

#

for now

#

in the first 2 days and a half

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

you'd be done with the game almost after 12 pages tbh

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

almost done with all Forgotten Crossroads enemies

#

(I mean it's not 12 pages of solid text, I mean as in the website page. Some are shorter than others)

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

yeah many wiki pages are more than 1 page long

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

some are shorter

#

#

the Aspid Hatchling page is only this long

but then there's False Knight which is 2+ pages

sleek tiger Jul 3, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

ok

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

so with the api modinstaller

#

do i link it to the hk folder in steam

#

or the mods folder in the hk folder

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

the modinstaller with the zote icon?

#

just the hk folder in steam

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

ok so im confused rn

#

i put the lightbringer api file into the mods folder

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

yes

#

good

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

because the zote thing wasnt working

#

and now it doesnt work either

#

what do i do

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

what do you mean it doesn't work

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

does it work if i just put the ddl file in mods

#

is it then done

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

you jsut put the dll file in the mods folder

#

that's it

#

but

#

that asssumes you have the modding api installed

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

huh

📎 unknown.png

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

update your api

#

and install modcommon

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

modcommon?

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

yes

#

it's a mod

#

in the google drive

glass meteor Jul 3, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

i swear

#

i'm gonna actually add that modcommon complaint text rn

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

the problem is it's calling modcommon functions in Initialize

#

and it shouldn't be

glass meteor Jul 3, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

:ech:

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

ok what do i do with the modcommon thing

glass meteor Jul 3, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

if people were reasonable and installed dependencies as specified in the readme, init would be a perfectly good spot to hook modcommon functions

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

init is never a good spot for hooks

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

almost noone reads readmes

noble basin Jul 3, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

well for most hooks

#

it'

#

is ok for some

#

Speaking of modcommon. how likely is it if I make a custom monobehavior that I could get it added to it?

errant nymph Jul 3, 2018, 7:51 PM

is this a good sign

compile it and use it?

#

get Visual Studio Community Edition or Rider

and then open the Blackmoth.csproj file in it

#

and then click the button that says Build

#

then you go into Debug/bin and take out the Blackmoth.dll file

#

and put it in your mods folder

runic oriole Jul 3, 2018, 9:35 PM

Eh

Ptbr is my primary language imo

why isn't your mod in your primary language?

well there's your problem

civic fossil Jul 4, 2018, 4:31 AM

#

oh

#

does debug only work with current patch?

versed needle Jul 4, 2018, 4:32 AM

#

No but the installer assumes current patch

#

You need old versions of everything for mods to work on 1.1.1.8

#

I posted the old debug mod for someone else pretty recently, you should be able to search it

civic fossil Jul 4, 2018, 4:33 AM

#

oh well I can just use current patch if it doesnt affect any glitches

versed needle Jul 4, 2018, 4:33 AM

#

It does very majorly

#

The last patch that is usable for speedruns is 1.2.2.1

#

Lifeblood and beyond will never be used for any runs that don't get forced onto it by new content

civic fossil Jul 4, 2018, 4:34 AM

#

then why would you use the installer on current patch lol

versed needle Jul 4, 2018, 4:35 AM

Because most people who play mods don't care about glitches

Hello, I saw the Hollow Knight randomizer at SGDQ in the casual room, and was trying to get it working now I'm back home. However, when I install the mod manager and then Randomizer 2, the game screws up my d-pad. up and down become left and right, and left and right don't work at all.
I uninstalled all the mods, and it still happened. After reinstalling the base game through steam it fixed the controls, until I reinstalled the mods. The D-pad broke again. Am I doing something wrong somewhere?

I built 44 using files on my computer and I believe there's a non-zero chance that may have broken the controller on windows

runic oriole Jul 4, 2018, 6:05 PM

all I know is that I have to enable steam controller on current patch for my controller to properly function

and this was before you even compiled v44

uh ok nvm then

runic oriole Jul 4, 2018, 6:07 PM

#

I remember asking here why my game was crashing on s&q

#

and mick said to disable beta controller support

#

the thing is, without beta controller support, my controller didn't work on lifeblood

#

so I had to enable steam controller, and that fixed it

noble basin Jul 4, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

I never tried that but when I was using the modding api on non-beta lifeblood I used SC-controller with all the controller buttons mapped to their keyboard variants

Do you think folders are windows exclusive?

eeeeh, no? im not that stupid,,,

versed needle Jul 4, 2018, 9:30 PM

#

Then what do you mean by folders like windows?

pearl lotus Jul 4, 2018, 9:32 PM

#

i meant that when sometimes I download a program in a zip thats only for windows, when I unzip it, it unfolds always in various folders containing every aspect of the program but without the actual program (i dont know if it makes sense)

runic oriole Jul 4, 2018, 9:32 PM

#

that's supposed to happen here tho

#

there's no "actual program"

#

there's only a file and its folder structure

#

so you don't have no manually place it

versed needle Jul 4, 2018, 9:33 PM

#

I think I get what you're saying

The "actual program" is included in those types of downloads, you just can't run it

I used the mod installer in the latest pin and then went to the google drive with the collection of mods and tried to use the API version of bonfire

just click the box of the installer

no reason to even go to the drive

it downloads and installs everything for you

daring trellis Jul 5, 2018, 6:28 PM

I probably am not seeing that box because of this Microsoft .Net framework exception

I can't really screencap it because it's dutch

But there keeps popping up a unexpected exception every time I try to start to the installer, and if I just ignore that it doesn't show any boxes

real jacinth Jul 5, 2018, 6:29 PM

that exception is known and does nothing

the installer should give you a window with all the mods listed and an option to click a check box on the right to install

so just go to the drive, download what mods you want, then drag-and-drop the "hollow_knight_data" folder into the game file location

you'll also need the API, and ModCommon for them to run

it is also written on the left corner that a newer version is available, but im pretty sure i downloaded the last one

versed needle Jul 5, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

Boss rush was not updated for lifeblood and there are no plans to update it due to the incoming official boss rush

pliant thicket Jul 5, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

oh, there is a official one comming out? NICE

#

Wut

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

your program made this file I think

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

Which file

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

this one: ~/.local/share/ModInstaller.exe_Url_26db2a4474e4223a120acb372f24b27d1d575d7b/user.config

#

with contents I posted above

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

Dunno what that is

#

The installer has some user settings

#

Maybe that's that?

#

It saves the install path and a bool for apiInstalled

#

And that's it

#

You know that, you saw the code

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

why does it make an empty file there tho

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

Dunno

#

Is that folder similar to appdata on windows?

glass meteor Jul 6, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

yes

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

yes

#

or the registry

#

depending on the program

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

Because on windows it creates a ModInstaller folder the first time it runs

#

On AppData

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

oh ok

idk why it's blank

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 1:59 AM

Compiled the MessageBoxManager into a dll and added it as a reference, but didn't bundle it with the installer

also ilrepack it into the exe imo

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 2:02 AM

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 2:41 AM

#

can't you just statically link to it

#

or is that not a thing in c#

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

it's a dll that I made

#

from code I got online

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

I know

#

oh

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

wiat

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

so you can't tell your IDE to make a statically linked library or something

#

is that like not a thing on windows

#

like on linux it would be a .a file

#

and you can just like... statically link to it and what it does is it takes all the functions from that library that your code is using

#

and automatically moves them into your built binary

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

oh

#

uhhh

#

dunno

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

nope nvm not a thing in c#

#

apparently

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

forget it

📎 ModInstaller.exe

#

I'll just tell git to ignore it

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 2:47 AM

#

so your binary contains closed source code then?

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 2:47 AM

#

dunno if it's closed source

#

someone actually posted all of it on a stackoverflow answer

noble basin Jul 6, 2018, 2:48 AM

why exclude that code then?

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 5:05 PM

always do when I release a version that fixes/adds something major

#

so the current version has handling for offline management of mods

#

and I reworked the manual install thingy, should be way better

real jacinth Jul 6, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

any idea what's been causing that issue that people have with the file not found or whatever?

#

been coming up a lot

runic oriole Jul 6, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

each one is slightly different

#

some were caused by removable media

#

I have to find the HK installation, so I search all drives

#

so I had to limit the search to fixed drives in order to prevent that error

#

another one was caused when people had a dll in the Mods folder that wasn't a GDrive mod

#

that was not an issue in the first few versions of the installer, but I had forgot to treat that case when I rewrote it

#

now it's fixed

#

the only other error I've seen people posting is not being able to fetch the modlist

#

which AA fixed 99% by adding the offline check

#

and I added that last 1% by adding an offline mode

it should be deleted

#

idk why that shitty file is in there

#

sean needs to fix the zip file

#

for now just delete that file from your mods folder manually

#

and it should be fixed

versed needle Jul 6, 2018, 11:37 PM

hasty wyvern Jul 6, 2018, 11:43 PM

killed a boss without recording, need to go back and fight him again

#

i'm in save file location

#

i'm assuming userX where X is the save file slot

#

how do i force the game to bring back the oldest backup, do i just delete everything else under the respective user slot?

noble basin Jul 7, 2018, 7:23 AM

#

delete userx.dat and copy userx.dat.bak123 to userx.dat

#

copy the lowest number you see

#

for that user

light fog Jul 7, 2018, 7:24 AM

#

so delete that dat folder and just rename the oldest backup?

#

or does renaming not work

noble basin Jul 7, 2018, 7:24 AM

#

I'd rename the dat file

#

to be safe

light fog Jul 7, 2018, 7:24 AM

#

i could just remove it from the folder too

#

but i'm just renaming the back file

#

to user2(in my case).dat?

#

ok it worked thank god

#

thanks man

hey a friend of mine was trying to use the randomizer, she installed the api, and the modcommon, and the randomizer itself

#

everything went in fine, doesn't say any errors

#

but she lost controller support

noble basin Jul 7, 2018, 7:41 AM

#

to be clear your friend is on windows, correct?

devout olive Jul 7, 2018, 7:41 AM

#

yes

#

wait

#

lemme ask

#

yes she is, but she used the universal api

noble basin Jul 7, 2018, 7:42 AM

#

that's fine

#

but

#

uh

#

I forgot there was a fix gradow had it

Hi all. Pardon my ignorance. Trying to install debugmod on linux as per the instructions at https://github.com/seanpr96/DebugMod but nothing seems to be happening. Should the mod be listed under the mods? Where/how should the mod menu/interface be visible?

DebugMod - Debug Mod for Hollow Knight

#

Thanks so much, been looking at this for hours now...

versed needle Jul 7, 2018, 10:32 AM

#

What does the file structure of the game look like on linux? The instructions are for windows

novel bronze Jul 7, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

the file structure of the game looks identical

#

versed needle Jul 7, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

Ok

#

You've probably just downloaded the wrong thing

low heart Jul 7, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

and... do you have the api installed with it?

versed needle Jul 7, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

Make sure you have the debug mod download from the same google drive folder as the modding api

novel bronze Jul 7, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

the mod api message is appearing in the top right hand corner so that should be ok

#

I did

versed needle Jul 7, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

That's all that's showing in the menu?

novel bronze Jul 7, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

yes, that's all.

versed needle Jul 7, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

Can you post a screenshot of where you've put the mod files?

novel bronze Jul 7, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

and actually I used the mod from github, not from the google docs folder. let me try that first,

#

hang on

versed needle Jul 7, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

Ok, there is no mod download on github

#

You have likely placed the source code in your mods folder

novel bronze Jul 7, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

see I was wondering why I was putting source code in there instead of a dll

#

:/

#

so for the debug mod there's only version 1.1.1.8, while the modding api goes up to version 1.3.1.5. The latest version of modding api explicitly has a linux version, but 1.1.1.8 does not.
