sucks to be them then
ok that works
but can you do me a favor and make it also do that when they pick the path for the first time
here I mean
oh
good idea
also
should I check for the assembly or just the folder name?
what would be best?
both
if the folder doesn't exist then they've done something horribly wrong
but if the assembly doesn't exist they've selected the wrong folder
check for the assembly at least
but if there's no folder then the assembly check should fail
so
no need to check anything else right?
Isn't it checking for hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll?
or no
because if so what other game has a hollow_knight_Data folder
oh, yeah
you're right
what if
they installed the api in a stupid folder
UserName/hollow_knight_data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll
well if so now they can change their install location if they did something dumb like that.
so all is good
what if they just wanna download a bunch of mods to a folder
no but how would that fix that
if they just extracted the assembly dll to ~/hollow_knight_data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll then how would checking the folder name fix anything
well
if the folder containing hollow_knight_Data isn't named Hollow Knight, it gives an "invalid path" error
ok
if (File.Exists(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath +
@"/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll") &&
Path.GetFileName(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath) == "Hollow Knight")```
oof
just get the case sensitivity right
Well I have a ton of game versions on my desktop so I can have 5 patches ready to go in steam
try
yeah it works

@sleek tiger i don't recommend watching the end because it lags a lot and he does weird things
I'm done with this fight. There were a few major mistakes every now and then, but that's to be expected from a 6 hour fight, so overall I'm happy with it. Al...
so i had to improvise a lot
that's exactly why you watch the end
well he asked for strats
celeste music
what i do at the end is not as safe as what i do in the rest of the fight
also i was tired as fuck
tbh idk how you went for that long without dying of boredom
same tbh
1 mil when
what computer do you have
yeah it gets worse as the fight goes on
i get like 400-500 with a 960
yes i also get 400
in the first 10 minutes
by the 5th hour is when it's unplayable
@sleek tiger the music is all in the description
yeah the stutters happen every now and then
so when is 100k damage on ngg

tbh try ngg
idk like 30 seconds before i turned it off
I saw that you pisted a few playlists ib tge desc
I meant I want to track down where each playlists ends and the next starts
are you going to watch the entire thing
I am indeed totally okay
Perhaps I will spwnd 6 hoirs watching the video yes
I am totally not put of my mind
COUGH 56 COUGH
actually have a sleep schedule
What about modding?
damn millenials

when I was your age, I would get permabanned and also get my whole family killed if I chatted in the wrong channel
Hehehehe
When you wrre my age you had to survive the apocalypse on your way to school... TWICE
wrre
wrre
wrre
yeah, I remember when I wrre your age
When I was 56's age I was existed
Well, if not me, at least my tenses are nice
Hello im triying to use the debug mod, does it actually work?
it does
it's ransomware
HUD?
hp and stuff
Oh
yes thats what i want
Debug mode
Backspace
Delete
And uhh
I think there were 2 more keys
Home I think?
maybe i didnt install it because it doenst work for me
does the debug work?
i have the Seanpr debug mdo
yeah, but does it work?
Mostly
1.1.1.8
thats the version in drive
no, it's not
what game version are you on?
i use the installer and it doesnt detect itr
what do you mean
i use the installer and it didnt find the mod
u wot

you help them
ok
im on it xD
snipping tool it then ctrl-c ctrl-v
dic

xD
check pins mate
^ that's the old installer
also, use the current game patch
idk how so many people find it
now I go
hey @tiny blade I like ur taste in music
because is in the video with more views
oh no
i search : how to install mods hollow kinght
u wot
Post vid
k0cc4's video doesn't have it, right?
The vidpocalypse is upon us again
yeah it doesn't
but uh yeah I would recommend trying my new assembly and combine it with setting hk prio to high. It should fix the lag and make it even easier to dodge grimm by making his attacks stand out more.
@tiny blade
but does it fix the cheese
guys 0.3 is the last version -.-
my guy
Boi
no cheese fix is coming in 0.9
no it's not
i legit can't find a video with the old installer
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's newer than the mod installer because I wanna rework the hardmode so it's faster but has more reliable stuns and do a few more things first before I put it there
Pabloax post vid
but let me real for a sec. the only sounds you'll hear are from grimm and with reduce lag turned on the background makes his attacks a lot easier to see
so for both of those reasons he's actually easier right now
no more having to filter out in your head, the whispering, burning, and beating that plays otherwise
i just played with sound off
well then in that case you may appreciate the increased contrast making his attacks more visible
turned off sound and listened to this on repeat https://youtu.be/bh66pGIhysQ

i think that i have installed the debug mod, how do i activate it in game?
you've used the new modinstaller i linked you?
yep
and it doenst have a key to activate things or somethign similar?
i just want to hide the HUD (hp bars and mana)
its right
mmm
is that a yes or a no
if you hit install modding api does it say it's already installed
yes
in the top left of the title screen is there any text
does the mods folder
i.e
does it have anything in it
1.3.1.5 - 43
yeah the mod folder has thins on it
and the version...
wot
now is working
thx guys
u are awesome

as a "present"
https://twitter.com/pablolopezcre/status/1021022802076454912 this was my first gif Xd
no that i can hide the hud they are gonna be cooler
nice
seamlees? i dont know the meaning
seamless meaning it's impossible to tell when it ends and begins



Trying to install Debug mod but its imposible
What a coincidince, I'm also having trouble with that
I installed the API and I see the mods tab but Debug mod doesnt appear
lel
Now i feel a little better
my modlog.txt is showing this: [ERROR]:[API] - Error: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded. at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.Assembly:GetTypes (bool) at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExportedTypes () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Modding.ModLoader.LoadMods () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
did you also install debug mod
Yes
Yes
did you use the installer
Oh okay. My debug mod is failing to load when I launch the game.
agony
Api shows in game
install modcommon
while i update debug mod
to not require that
i think i left that ref in
sorry
big competent
shut ur up
Just have to paste in mods?
@cedar gyro were you playing on the beta patch before installing mods
modcommon doesnt work either
Nope, freshly downpatched to 1.2.2.1
But I was playing on current before downpatching
agony
Should I clear my registry?
Oh, thanks
I'll try this and report
cool
Didn't get a "failed to load" error, but the mod didn't show up in my mods menu. When I load into the game, it freezes on a black screen.
Does it show top left tho
always says that
right
cause unity sucks
Version checking is broken
I assumed that much
Yeah when I try to start a new file with the debug mod active, it freezes after the first message
kk

Where is outputlog?
you just have debug mod, right?
yeah thats it
and output log is in hollow_knight_Data
with api still installed?
try putting this dll in again idk
yeah it still happens without debugmod.dll
oh
I'll troubleshoot
might wanna redownload the depot then
yw
when I got into the modding scene the newest version was 40
and that was 3 months ago
omg I know what it is
I bet 39 was either the first lifeblood version or the last TGT version
is hitinstance even in 1.2.2.1
^ the main issue
Where do I even find mods? Not steam workshop right?
well, my pc says that the modinstaller could be harmful and doesnt let me proceed
DMCA the google drive
what does that even mean
a great evil once lurked in these halls
and by these halls i mean #archived-modding-development because this channel didn't exist
well it doenst do what its name suggests
m8
it's your choice really
you can try to install the mods manually if you'd like
there's a guide in pins
a written guide and a video guide
video guide is terrible dont watch it
or you can use the installer and open up your pc to be btc mine
@terse estuary wow fixed
wut dat 56
still has the warning message
my dude just ignore the warning
i am
would you just ignore a stop sign 56
yes
just said that it didnt fix it ^^
wdym
zip the zip
just open it, click "More Info" and tell it to run it anyway
thanks for the help anyway
@abstract kayak come here
i just googled mods
if you have any questiong regarding any specific mod I'd be happy to help
i dont really need it im probably not going to mod pc version anyway
i couldnt really play well on pc
i was super good on switch though
Any way to decrypt Hollow Knight's save file so it'll be clear text?
so i've been using the randomizer mod and i've now acquired all of the spells, but i can't use any of them, so i can't access anywhere needing desolate dive, does anyone know what would be causing that? i can still use focus, but no other spells
Probably using the old randomizer or outdated tracker
ModCommon doesn't have the ModCommon.dll file in ModCommon\bin\Debug, think anyone could help?
Ok the only reason you'd have that folder structure is if you downloaded the source off github
So don't do that
Where could I download it from?
Oh okay, thanks
how to disable infinite jump ???
press the infinite jump button ???
which button
but i disabled all the mods
the infinit Jump is at the bottom left
hey hey
am having a problem with boss rush mod, are you not supposed to start a new savefile to do it? o;
dang it q.q
wait a month then downpatch
use a time machine and go back a patch
what version should I downpatch to? grimm's troupe?
1.2.2.1
oke, thank you ^^
are misc skips like darkrooms
Nah you can buy lantern from the very start
So if you don't want to do dark rooms just farm
They're ignored in logic
shrugs should really know misc skips anyways
you require claw to find dream nail?
am i reading that right?
wait, i'm dumb
this is to get to dream nail location
yeah?
Need to either have misc skips on or have claw for it to expect you to go to dream nail
claw at vs kthx
I guess I lied about it ignoring dark rooms
claw doesn't help with dark room either tho
unless that's for the shade skip?
but shade skip isn't in the logic
Idk I don't really think about the requirements without all skips on much
lol
i mean it works
would suck tho for a casual to get claw early then be expected to get through dark room somehow
but i guess at that point, you have claw and can go basically anywhere
so whatever
wow
wow
that's a hell of a switch
It's a really shit switch
only 5 cases for the baldur huh?
35, 13, 18. i wish i had a charms list
oh no, that one line goes further
22, 17, 39
13 is mark of pride, 18 is longnail
18 must be longnail
All the other ones there are the easy mode baldur kill charms
Weaversong, spore shroom, etc
oh nice. didn't know you put weaver in there
weaver, elegy, spore, and womb
👍
easy mode must be super easy
there's so many misc skips callouts
hello, trying to play boss rush mod (installed through the mod api installer) but im stuck in the ground at false knight
oh

w o a h nsfw content
@noble basin so i was messing around a bit with inkg at 4x speed
i'd say if you want to make him fdaster it's doable
and also i lagged 4 times in 22 minutes so that's good
Yeah, makes sense. When I'm done with the new IG which will probably be in a few days I hope he fixes all of the main problems with the current one, and one of those things is it will be a lot easier to get hit (and hits will be punished less).
Nice!
the spikes from ngg are the only things coming to regular IG hardmode and they'll be a lot easier to dodge
because I'm adding a significant delay to when they pop up
so you'll see where the spikes are at the bottom for a second or so before they actually appear
I am not and would never do 2 grimms on hardmode
1 because 2 grimms is like 70% of the reason NGG is so laggy
and 2 because it's bullshit and unfair
sync them ez
also what is "ClassicMode"
Yeah, but
uhhh
ok
flames from uppercut spawning Fire Pillars once they hit the Ground when?
also the real reason which is because how could I do both bosses? I'd have to make the player be able to choose.
also you're a monster
I like it
@tall gyro
set an easy mode as an option that remove the flames left behind during the attacks
the uppercut and the down dash
slow him down a bit
and that's basically the Grimm fight
Modded Rando is a bunch of fun
Especially since ive been speedrunning so long I don't know how to go through this game normally anymore so by getting things randomized I'm seeing a bunch of cool mod charms I probably wouldn't see otherwise
routing low nail presses for so long forgot what the game was
Rando is the definive playstyle for me
definive
definive indeed
Is there a way to read this without it being in one single line?
Yeah it should
Why can't I edit it?
what
I can't edit it on the right side
Idk maybe that site is bad
I just looked up json beautifier and copied the first link
Oh wait nvm found it

hey all ive found a bug in the blachmoth mod where the nail upgrades strenghten the nail and not the dash, anyone have a solutin?
btw im using the blackmoth and redwing mods
ugh
redwing tells you to read the goddamn config file
literally a setting that says overrideblackmothnaildamage
Never trust the user. That's why I don't make things user-friendly
I'm not their friend
sorry @noble basin i dont want to be rude but ive read the "README.md" file and it says nowhere that i should read config file. and anyways in the zip there is only the "redwing.dll" (plus the readme of course) and no config file and im not really a computer guy so if you would help me out where that is it would be much appreciated
So I have the mod manager
Anyone knows what are all of these mods that it lets me download?
📌
install all of them
Also it doesn't update debug mod
Also is there a place that explains more about the mods other than the summery document?
Where?
well shit gonna look into that then
Some don't have
Aether: it doesn't really matter, but your installer is somewhat outdated
also, isn't the description doc enough?
yeah, but I think it's been updated since
Does it supposed to install the latest version of debug?
there is no such version
I still don't understand what playerdatatracker is
it's for streaming
it's a plugin for streamers to show on the stream what items they already have
mostly useful for rando
did you update the gdrive file and the xml?
You made it?
huh.
sean made it
I don't really know people here to be tbh honest
Seanpr
if you say seanpr 3 times he appears
hey sean go watch a run
uh so
yeah
my modinstaller is really wierd looking ;-;
it like
hold on lemme send screenshots
hold on nvm

the mods needed to update lol sorry guys
How many hk mods are there now?
12? More?
if we talk in actual functioning mods i'd say it's around 25 since some of em are out of date
I know Lightbriger, Lost Lord, Infinite Grimm, NGG, Mantis Gods, Shitmodst, one that I forgot the name of, Blackmoth, Redwing, Buncha small debug/utility mods that don't affect gameplay, Greymoth and Dead Hallownest (not quite a final mod yet)
What else have I missed?
Um.... where can I find something maybe like a tutorial about modding?
ok so #archived-modding-development has some pins on that
and i'll link you some stuff in there
ok 😃
If you can't see it after installing, you're doing it wrong
If you disabled it, f1 re-enables it
can't see it
Then you're doing it wrong
Which version of the game are you on?
Did you install the api?
so where can I get the debug mod?>
uuhhh... x.x what?
hello, i recently installed the debug mod, copy it to the folder (mods) and everything.. but i dont know how to open the debug menu.. how to open the debug menu?
ah sorry, it already answered above. thx
Hey is there anyway to effienctly practice skips? Im a bit new to speedrunning and Im wondering if I can somehow give infinite soul to myself for example?
debug mod
is there any explanation online on how to use it once installed?
it's pretty well explained in the mod itself
In the file it comes with? Maybe im being stupid but I have it installed, I see the API text in the top left corner
but nothing else in game
to install the debugmod
you need to copy the .dll file inside the zip
to hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods
the latest InfiniteGrimm's requirements are different than the last one?
Yeah, 56 told me
does the lag reducing option affect the NGG fight?
not yet
I tried it and it lagged very bad
like
literally unplayable 3 fps
bad
and this wasn't a problem in the earlier version
I'm gonna tear down and rebuild the NGG fight to be much less laggy
when I have time
i have enemy randomizer enabled but so far all enemies are the same
i have chaos mode enabled
in the ingame mod menu?
lemme double check
no
not there
u dungo
gimme like 20s
@light fog this one
make sure you have modcommon btw
relaunch ur game
no
why they do this
cause it's cool
i mean i like the theme but i like the regular menu theme ;-;
wish i could toggle that lul
chaos mode is on, every other mode is off
is chaos mode literally every enemy
no but like 99.9% of them
room mode means rooms stay the same
I cant turn on/off fullscreen after I installed mods and that bar below stays, how do I make it go away?
oh
sorry
let me try to shut it down and try again
oh...
don't worry
just testing the mod thingy 56
Boss Rush will be updated 23 August
will play it right after
yeet
so mantis gods vs redwing took me 6 tries
I wonder about mantis gods vs grimmchild upgrades.
probably a lot more
because grimmchild is good but not like... redwing good.
Mantis Gods v Grimmchild + Redwing
~~now do it without any helping mods ~~
what does Grimmchild upgrade do?
it greatly buffs grimmchild, like crazy a lot.
makes grimmchild god itself
but it has a config file so you can change the child however you want
are we sure health bar mode works?
EnemyHPBar
I just fought brooding mawlek and nothing happened
HPBars doesn't work anymore, EnemyHPBars definitely does
just a tad
ok so uh save and quit the game
and then quit hollow knight
and then
in your saves folder
you should see a file called GrimmChildUpgrades.GlobalSettings.json
saves folder location in pins
edit that with notepad
hopefully all the things there make sense but if not ask me anything and I can try to explain
should look something like this
maybe without color
thanks
who?
aa
I'm using a text editor he doesn't like
might as well use gnu ed
oh man my whole computer is white theme it's disgusting
Thank god my Visual Studio is black
I should trigger @glass meteor in meme real quick
how do I download bonfire mod?
read the pins in #archived-modding-development imo
k thx
im trying to download bonfire
but i play on 1.3.1.5
the latest version in the bonfire file is 1.2.1.4
wat do
would i lost my progress if I play Mantis Gods in an older save?
Just use the installer in pins. Should get bonfire all set up for you.
Pretty sure it was updated for 1315
And in general it's not a good idea to play mods on a save you want to keep. Mantis Gods shouldn't do anything to it, but you never know
heh I should probably listen to that advice
yall know how to use the modding api? I cant find anywhere what the actual controls are for the menu
im tryna use the stuff that the api has like hide hud and invisibility
huh, whenever i googled the debug mod the github link only had the api
the pin by gradow?
You have to compile it yourself from the github
oh shit yeah thats more work than i want
We have done all the work for you here. Just use the installer here and it'll download and install everything
dope
where's the empress muzznik on the mod manager?
ohhhhh ok i saw it on the doc file but not on the manager
is it possible to reset binds on the debug mod without being in game?
Help. I'm trying to install Nightmare God Grimm mod but it's not working.
use the installer in pins
actually, that won't work cuz NGG is old
install infinite grimm instead
what's the difference?
infinite ngg is basically ngg but after 3200 where he would've died you can go on
infinite grimm also has other modes
is it possible to get the randomizer mod for mac
yes
exchange it for windows
yes that sounds like the way to do it
apparently the archive file is incomplete
wat
die
@acoustic abyss just install the universal one to be tbh
this
but with the mac paths
Considering playing with some mods for the first time after getting all the steam achievements and while I wait for g&g
Any suggested mods?
yes
Rando
Randomized?
all of them
And where does one go to get said mods... I noticed there was a google doc but I didn't see any links to anywhere
Ah, all the mods are linked to the installer?
Yup
an installer installs mods?? 
I see, I'll mess around with it tomorrow, thanks
@real jacinth maybe just maybe you had to download the mods to install 🤔
gradow savage af
he's not wrong
That's how that works for mods of pretty much any game
reee
I hate every mod that doesn't work with the api
be like aa and compile them all from source
Best mod is also hellmod, paradoxically
Play Lightbringer
Tbh play rando2 tho
For me at least it's the only reason I play the game lately
Wut veru
What will you give me if I watch all the vids on your low% record btw?
$0
$0 and exposure
if you want a "fun" challenge try searching for the moment where I died farming essence
from holding right for like a minute straight and not paying attention
I saw you mention that on the last part
Never went back through them to find it tho
Missing out on literally 17 cents
installer do all work for you
including downloading
cuz that's too hard for 90% of people
then copy pasting is where people really get confused
they just can't handle it
"what mean i just click and drag?"
head explodes
I really wish you weren't being serious
people literally have trouble navigating through folders
What would make the pinned message a proper guide?
If it's not proper enough read it out in a british accent
my dude reading is really difficult
who reads nowadays, most people just have the info directly transfered to their brains
