one mo

tiny blade
#

but you did not reopen the game did you

neon thorn
#

NO

#

didn't close it yet

#

where as modlog?

#

in the steam folder right?

#

was*

tiny blade
#

same as the other one

real jacinth
#

Same place as output

neon thorn
#

ah lol

#

me stupid

#

wait no

#

disregard that

#

not updated yet

#

i'm gonna close the game ok?

#

this is the one

real jacinth
#

You sure you didn't load enemy rando?

#

There's also a reflection error right away

#

I'd get rid of enemy rando and try again

#

That mod is not confirmed stable and hasn't been updated for a long long time

neon thorn
#

yeah i didn't

#

ok

#

reflection?

#

aight ER disabled

#

gonna try

#

ah fuck i'm far away now lol

#

still down there

real jacinth
#

The save might be fucked. He's not supposed to be down there at all. Just a shiny object to pick up

#

And it teleports you out once you grab it

neon thorn
#

so you mean i'm a pioneer

#

i'm unique

#

nice

#

luckily he had nothing left to sell but rancid eggs, i believe

#

maybe a mask/vessel shard, but idc for 112% so

lime copper
#

when i try to load the randomizer mod it just

#

freezes at 94%

novel bronze
#

Have you tried updating the API

neon thorn
#

nah it's probably not enough ram

#

close every app except for HK and steam, lower the resolution to the lowest available, and then try

#

this is assuming you have 8GB+

#

i assume enemy randomizer

#

cause regular rando show no percentage

novel bronze
#

56 fixed a bug with the api recently

#

that was causing the freeze

#

even when ram wasn't an issue

neon thorn
#

oh noice

#

but still, ram is an issue

novel bronze
#

yes, but 8gb should be fine now

neon thorn
#

great then, thanks!

normal pike
#

for enemy randomizer chaos mode is random each time right

#

what's the diff between chaos and room mode

glass meteor
#

if you go into a room 80 times with chaos

#

each time will be different

#

with room mode the room will be the same

gloomy crater
#

chaos mod > chaos mode

versed needle
#

So I'm looking at this log I got pinged for

#

Fucking 10k lines

#

Enemy rando why

#

But yeah it couldn't load the save file so my best guess is old version save on a newer rando version

#

@neon thorn send your save file if you've still got it

#

Also ping me when you do, I have this channel muted

gloomy crater
#

wow that's crazy so do i

spiral briar
#

what does the charm overhaul mod do

untold elm
#

it changes charms to be better

spiral briar
#

ok

untold elm
#

for specifics just download and look at the readme

neon pawn
#

I just installed Custom Knight and I want to test out a sprite sheet I made. However, I can't figure out how to change my sprite, let alone install my own one. Can someone help?

tiny blade
#

you have the dll right

neon pawn
#

I don't know. I downloaded it through ModInstaller.exe

tiny blade
#

ok you wanna go to your mods folder and make a folder named "CustomKnight" there

#

and you put your modified sprites there

neon pawn
#

Where is the mods folder?

tiny blade
#

Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

neon pawn
#

Thank you.

safe canopy
#

how come thats not a bind in game tbh

#

press alt+f4 to open mod folder, ctrk+w to open save folder hollowface

tiny blade
#

hmmmm

raven lake
#

Anybody have any insight why my hollow knight runs perfectly at all times (beastly computer i7-8700k, 32gb ram, 1080, etc. no problem for hollow knight) yet crawls to 2-3 fps whenever I use the dream nail until I reload the screen

#

these are the mods I'm using

#

(not many)

noble basin
#

best guess because one of those mods has a debug thing left in that acts when you use the dream nail causing it to write a lot of data to your computer. I would like to say it's not the one mod of mine you have, UHKP, causing it, but I can't speak for any of the other ones.

safe canopy
#

might be a random keybind on one of the mods thats bound to the same key

#

doubt its moresaves, or playerdatadump

real jacinth
#

Probably unofficial hk patch

runic oriole
#

Show modlog and output_log

#

@raven lake

sick talon
#

Hey! so I installed the binding mod but it seems it makes my knight spawn below the bench making me stuck to the ground..did I install it incorrectly or is the mod bugged?

glass meteor
#

no i just haven't fixed it

sick talon
#

is there anything I can do to make it work?

glass meteor
#

debug mod

#

just noclip out of the floor

sick talon
#

right

#

good call

neon thorn
#

hey @versed needle you asked for my save

#

is it these two files?

#

there's this one as well

#

another thing: i already had the 3 NA, which is why Sly got down there I assume? but now i just visited sheo and he gave me GS again

mental plank
#

Hey can someone tell me what does the custom knight mod do please?

safe canopy
#

replaces the knights sprites with a custom sprite sheet

real jacinth
#

Buncha Sprite sheets

#

Move and replace the ones that came with the mod

mental plank
#

Thanks a lot guys

#

Well i have another question: How Player Data Tracker works? cause i install it but nothing happens, i mean the mod is installed and everything is good but, how i use it?

real jacinth
#

It's a streamer tool

#

Works with a stream overlay

mental plank
#

Like?...

real jacinth
mental plank
#

So i use it with things like twitch?

real jacinth
#

Yes. To show your inventory to viewers. Most commonly used with randomizer

mental plank
#

Ok, thanks

#

Last thing, with QoL mod: what it fixes with dash master charm?

real jacinth
#

Diagonal won't dash down

sick talon
#

hey! I just downloaded the debug mod, how can I use noclip?

real jacinth
#

Click on it

#

With your mouse

sick talon
#

there s no cursor

real jacinth
#

Pause the game

novel bronze
#

the dashmaster fix makes it so dashing down by accident is extremely unlikely, but dashing down intentionally is somewhat hard unless you use d pad

#

IMO

sick talon
#

cant

#

also installed the bindings mod

#

that might be the problem?

real jacinth
#

You can't pause the game?

sick talon
#

no

real jacinth
#

Wat

sick talon
#

the button doesnt work anymore since I downloaded the mods

real jacinth
#

Where did you get the mod

#

GitHub probably

sick talon
#

from the installer haliitti sent me

#

cant telll you much more sadly

real jacinth
#

What game version

#

Did you press esc

sick talon
#

the latest

#

yes

real jacinth
#

The latest isn't a number

sick talon
#

uhh

real jacinth
#

Tell me a number

sick talon
#

gimme a sec

#

1.4.2.4

daring peak
#

how interesting

real jacinth
#

That's not latest

sick talon
#

well then

novel bronze
#

mental plank
#

Install manually the update

sick talon
#

mental plank
#

1.4.3.2

#

Voidhearth edition

sick talon
#

hold on

novel bronze
#

1.4.2.4 is the latest beta version, get off beta to get 1.4.3.2

sick talon
#

well nvmnd it is version 1.4.3.2 but the hud displays 1.4.2.4

novel bronze
#

sick talon
#

uhh

novel bronze
#

Check extras

#

sick talon
#

real jacinth

It's a version that the title says it's not.... Wat

sick talon
#

real jacinth
#

sick talon
#

I am not using the beta

novel bronze
#

showtitoe!

daring peak
#

real jacinth
#

Fucking phone

#

And booze

sick talon
#

sec

real jacinth
#

Is that the title screen?

sick talon
#

...

#

no

#

@real jacinth

#

also cant turn off fullscreen

noble basin
#

windows enter?

novel bronze
#

1.4.3.2

real jacinth
#

Sounds like you should verify file integrity

novel bronze
#

"it says 1.4.2.4"

#

not

sick talon
#

on the hud

#

the debug mod shows

real jacinth
#

Debug is not game patch

sick talon
#

well then

#

said game version

#

so I assumed

real jacinth
#

So you assumed mod version?

sick talon
#

no the game version

real jacinth
#

Mod version isn't game version

sick talon
#

I know

#

ok so I verified the cache and it removed the mods it seems

real jacinth
#

Which it should. So reinstall them

sick talon
real jacinth
#

No

novel bronze
#

NO

sick talon
#

ah

real jacinth
#

Jfc

novel bronze
#

did Angle make host work?

real jacinth
#

It's in pins if not

sick talon
#

still cant pause the game

#

installed the binding and the debug again

real jacinth
#

Using the actual installer?

sick talon
#

yeah the one you linked

real jacinth
#

Get rid of binding mod and try again

sick talon
#

yeah it works

#

but

#

I was trying to use it beacause I wanted to use the binding mod,however that one spawns the knight inside walls and I needed something to get him out

real jacinth
#

So go to a different bench first

sick talon
#

I tried

#

doesnt seem to change anything

#

spawns him a little below the surface

real jacinth
#

shrugs then use debug to falsify binding

#

Set nail to 13, don't heal beyond 1, don't use charms

sick talon
#

that works for me

real jacinth
#

All binding does is take the panth bindings into the main game

#

Which you can do on your own with some discipline anyways

#

Don't think bindings was ever updated to current patch

sick talon
#

yeah my problem was mainly the nail dmg

#

1 shots zotelings

real jacinth
#

Yeah. You can just reduce it to 13 with debug

sick talon
#

how exactly?

real jacinth
#

Click through the menu in the middle of the screen

#

Shows different shortcut keys

#

That do a lot of things

sick talon
#

ok thank you

#

sorry for the inconvenience,never used mods before so I had no clue

#

as I think you can tell

eager bramble
#

i'd like some mods, but i don't know what any of this means

untold elm
#

there

eager bramble
#

thank you

solid turret
#

what version of the game does the dreamshield co-op use?

glass meteor
#

1221

solid turret
#

is that godmaster?

glass meteor
#

no

solid turret
#

ok

normal pike
#

It’s pre lifeblood I believe

stuck escarp
#

does anyone know how to get the debug mod working or is it just dead?

crystal bay
#

what's wrong with it

#

should be working

real jacinth
#

You use the installer

#

And not github

neon thorn
#

Hey @versed needle pinging you again just in case you wanna see the save, it hasn't broken the game by any means since I can do all dreamers and finish the game whenever I want

floral pelican
#

How do I lower the volume of lightbringer's attacks?

real jacinth
#

lower game volume

untold elm
#

lol

floral pelican
#

Of course

novel bronze
#

Doesn't it just use Elegy SFX for the lance noise?

#

Is the mod installer download page down?

real jacinth
#

looks like it

#

just DL the first pin

floral pelican
#

It'd be fine if the lance volume didnt interfere with music audio, but it does

#

😒

real jacinth
#

turn all volume to 10

#

then lower externally

floral pelican
#

I dont understand

real jacinth
#

those audio sliders in game

#

set them to 10

#

set game sounds or effects or whatever it's called

#

to 9

#

or 10

#

then use windows mixer

#

or whatever your OS volume shit is

#

to lower the game to a managable volume

#

the in-game sliders are shit

floral pelican
#

Oh, thats not it

#

The sound effect of the lightbringer attacks overshadow the music audio everytime you attack

real jacinth
#

if they're working correctly, then use the sliders

#

lower effects volume

floral pelican
#

Somehow it also does that even when effect audio is set to 0

real jacinth
#

jfc

#

cuz the sliders are shit

#

like i just said

floral pelican
real jacinth
#

if you go below like.... 8, they don't work properly

#

so set them all really fucking high

#

and use external stuff to lower the overall volume of the game

#

set music to 10, and sfx to like 8

floral pelican
#

yessir

raven lake
#

i tried bonfire, but only recently... otherwise I'm only using debug (zooming out the camera, and health bars mostly) and I keep getting crash to desktop. anybody know any mod which is causing CTDs lately?

#

also have charm overhaul

novel bronze
#

My mod shouldn't be causing crashes...

raven lake
#

I wouldn't think so.

#

lol, Charm Overhaul Guy

#

wonder which mod you're reponsible for.

#

Hmmm

#

laughs

novel bronze
#

I've been working on an update for it.

raven lake
#

that's exciting. it's good work

novel bronze
#

current notable changes:

Shadow Thief has been tweaked, Shadow Catcher (SShadow + SCatcher): gain 8 Soul when Shadow Dashing through enemies(this combo requires having obtained Voidheart for this combo to work).
GWomb normal impact dmg increased by 1, dung impact dmg increased by 2.
SEater notch cost reduced to 3, but Soul bonus was reduced by 2 for balance.

#

Kinematic Shell is now SShell + Sprintmaster

#

(am working on making Kinematic Shell apply to CHeart and Dive)

#

I am unsure if I want to implement the change to Flukenest(buffed dmg to 5/7 per fluke, increased notch cost back to 3)

#

because Flukenest has some weird interactions with some enemy hitboxes

#

like Galien, Traitor Lord, and some others

real jacinth
#

just make it random

#

sometimes you shoot flukes

#

sometimes it's normal

#

barrel of fun

#

but it does the 144 dmg

frosty lark
#

You make new charm combos

novel bronze
#

I already have something sorta like that, that makes nail swings sometimes shoot spirit blasts

#

with the chance increasing the more soul you have

scenic flower
#

Does anyone have a randomizer

ocean bane
#

just getting into applying these mods, is there a recommended setup/combination of mods ? Or are there mods that do not work together and that I should avoid installing together

real jacinth
#

add whatever looks fun

#

not really a combo that doesn't work.

#

there's a few outdated mods that might have issues, but still sort of "run" anyways

frosty sigil
#

I have some issues with the mod installer. It'll start the little download bar then an error pop-up. Apparently something wrong goes wrong with the file ''C:\tempMods\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll''

untold elm
#

first, downpatch

#

then go into pins and download it from teh drive

#

lemme check what patch you have to downpatch to

#

#

#

I can't remember what the command is

#

;help

glass meteor
untold elm
#

okay

#

what version do you need to downpatch to again?

clear arrow
#

I think 1.4.3.2

untold elm
#

no

#

that's not downpatching

#

that current patch

tiny blade
#

that mod is for current patch

untold elm
#

oh

#

that's 56s version that is just you instadie

#

did you stab yourself in the eye?

brittle wing
#

hey so i used the installer and got infinite charm notches but uninstalled it and the effect is still present on my save file

untold elm
#

yeah

#

infinite charm notches is a lazily made mod

#

have to edit your save file or just not use more than 11 notches

brittle wing
#

how do i edit my save

untold elm
#

uh

brittle wing
#

😨 difficult?

untold elm
#

I just can't remember what the site is

noble basin
#

holly shit it's THE radiance

#

I'm like

#

your biggest fan

#

also uh basically if you install infinite charms and disable it in the mod manager it will set the number of notches on your save file to 11 so then you can then save and quit and then uninstall it

#

@brittle wing

#

that's probably the easiest way

brittle wing
#

thanks! ill try it out

#

also when i open the modinstaller this happens

novel bronze
#

you used the one from here right?

#

not moddb?

brittle wing
#

yeah it seems to work now

#

idk ill see if it happens again

#

wow i did it

#

i actually went into the code and fixed it

#

wtf

#

i need a cookie

#

someone get me a cookie

crystal bay
#

Radiance can code

i can also piss off an entire community at once just for being the final rng boss at the end of a 40~ boss gauntlet rush

Hi I'm trying to use the Enemy Randomizer Mod and It keeps stopping at 94%, Is there any way to fix this?

why does enemy randomiser work sometimes and not work sometimes?

#

same @fair tundra

frosty lark
#

Same

real jacinth
#

Because it was never updated.

neon thorn
#

is it normal that there is no steel soul mode for a new file if regular rando is enabled?

tiny blade
#

yeah

neon thorn
#

oh mang

#

alright

versed needle
#

Dying to do skips is pretty integral to rando so I don't see a steel soul button as important

#

It's just clutter

leaden galleon
#

Is there a way so mod the data or at least have access to it on the Nintendo switch?

real jacinth
#

save editor

#

in pins

leaden galleon
#

Where do I find that

untold elm
#

in pins

leaden galleon
#

Ok, sorry I am asking really dumb questions but like what do I click to find this

real jacinth
#

pins

#

πŸ“Œ

#

that lovely pin

leaden galleon
#

Ohhhh

#

Thank you

glass meteor
#

no you can't do anything on switch

real jacinth
#

you can convert your switch saves to pc

#

that's what he's asking

glass meteor
#

but the save editor isn't a converter

#

???????

real jacinth
#

i know 753 made something for it

#

or KDT

#

one of em

safe canopy
#

my save editor has an option to convert

#

since like the day the switch version came out

glass meteor
#

mfw

#

wow i'm bad

#

nice

safe canopy
#

they are just plaintext, so it just decodes to plaintext and vice versa intenseface

leaden galleon
#

Ok another dumb question on the SD card that I use for the Nintendo switch it says album, content and saves. When I click saves it says 800000000000000 and a second that is the same except it has 124 at the end. I don’t know what to do to find the hollow knight save file

safe canopy
#

do you have checkpoint / edizon installed?

leaden galleon
#

No

#

Is the way to installed those in the pin?

safe canopy
#

nope its switch homebrew

#

you'll need to hack your switch to get saves off it, as they are stored on the nand

leaden galleon
#

Thank you so much for the information

noble basin
#

the new switches don't have the bootloader bug iirc

#

so you're SOL

#

I hate consoles for this very reason

#

being able to use them as anything more than scrap metal that can play games is a bug

safe canopy
#

but if you let people do whatever

#

they'll pirate on it 😠

real jacinth
#

yeah. like save files

#

damn save file pirates

safe canopy
#

everyone knows piracy destroys sales thats why pc sales are so low and denuvo drm increases sales 10 fold intenseface

noble basin
#

more like if you let people do whatever

#

you can't charge them yearly for internet

#

and they will use your consoles as cheap supercomputers

safe canopy
#

aren't consoles sold at a profit πŸ€”

#

its not like they are $800 machines being sold for $400, theres like $380 of parts in a ps4

real jacinth
#

the biggest advantage they all have is they're the same. easy to mass produce parts cheaply

noble basin
#

ps3s weren't

#

which is why they became supercomputers back in the day

#

also like the 20 dollar profit they make being sold as prebuild PCs is way less than the money they make locking people into their ecosystem

#

where they make 30% commission off every game

#

and they make money off online

#

etc etc.

real jacinth
#

i mean.... mass production of $20 profit per unit is still massive

#

sell 20M units.... that's a ton of money in profit

#

i don't know what actual sales numbers are

noble basin
#

except, then you'd be competing with 9 other prebuilt desktop companies making lowend products

real jacinth
#

none of which are as large as Sony

#

people in the market for a console are not the same as those looking for a pre-built PC

noble basin
#

Sony could probably get involved with that market. Microsoft wouldn't want to because it would cut into their own surface lineup. Nintendo really can't cuz only linux nerds want an ARM based PC

real jacinth
#

and pre-built PCs are what....$800 minimum? the fact that the console market is half that price means they're targetting different groups

#

and it shows

noble basin
#

also you're forgetting that the largest prebuilt PC manufacturer is... Apple and they're doing p alright

real jacinth
#

most console owners are younger or bought for a family setting

#

I don't even care about that. Apple buyers aren't in the same market as console buyers

#

they're different

noble basin
real jacinth
#

but what mom is buying that for their 12 year old

#

when all their friends have an xbox

#

or a ps4

noble basin
#

yeah and if moms are buying it who know shit about technology then why would sony unlock their PS4 when they could keep it locked down so the kid now HAS to buy from their marketplace

#

giving them more money

#

did you know the PS2 could run linux? The PS2 even had an official install CD for it. I don't think it's a coincidence that this feature seemed to disappear with the advent of paying monthly for online.

#

dunno why I thought it was the 1

#

early firmwares of PS3 could dual boot OSes but they got rid of it with a firmware update

#

as in

#

everything worked

#

and they intentionally broke it

#

I don't believe in conspiracies but I do believe that when it comes to giant corporations EVERY SINGLE DECISION is made with the intent of maximizing profit. Or at least what a boardroom of executives given briefings from technology people think will maximize profit.

real jacinth
#

i mean... i don't really have a problem with that. If a part of your hardware isn't being used by the vast vast majority of users, why spend the extra money further developing it and doing upkeep on it

#

sure, it sucks for those that actually want it, but what percentage of their market base is that

#

probably super super tiny

#

and not worth all the engineers to work on it

noble basin
#

ok

#

so consider this

#

a part of your hardware can be used by a small percentage of users

#

so you intentionally brick it so it can no longer do so

real jacinth
#

if that costs and extra $10 per unit to put into each one, yeah. i'd brick it

#

when you're dealing with millions and millions of units

noble basin
#

no it actually cost them 35 dollars per unit to brick it

real jacinth
#

that's a huge huge profit gain

noble basin
#

because of a class action lawsuit

#

it was working fine

#

it cost them nothing to keep it that way

#

and they paid an engineer to break ti

#

that's what happened with the PS3

#

it was intentionally broken by a software update

real jacinth
#

I mean, I don't know all the details, but if it makes business sense to scrap something, i'd do it in a heartbeat

#

and counting class action lawsuits doesn't count

#

cuz you can't predict that

noble basin
#

ok but the business sense in locking down devices isn't in the cost of development

#

it's in trapping users on your system

#

many cheap android phones are locked down so that the manufacturers can force the bloatware to be forever installed on them which in turn gets them more money from the bloatware companies than just letting you disable it

#

iphones cannot run android not because they do not have the drivers or technical ability to

#

but because apple makes 30% off every itunes and app purchase

#

and yeah it makes total business sense for consoles to be locked down

#

but as a technically informed consumer, it makes no sense for me to ever buy one and support what is for me a scummy business model

real jacinth
#

don't disagree

#

but how many people are "informed consumers"

noble basin
#

not enough

#

but I don't blame people

#

Like. for most areas of consumption. I just want something cheap that works well for my general needs

#

I didn't go into buying a bread maker as a gift analysing every square millimeter of plastic that it used

#

I went on amazon and picked a cheap one with good reviews

#

but I bet for every area of consumption, there's like, 1-2% of the population that knows a shitton about it

#

and could find the best deals and know what's good and bad etc etc

#

and for me my area is computing hardware

#

and maybe you can find someone who's incredibly informed when it comes to buying automated cooking devices

real jacinth
#

again, don't disagree. but they're not playing to that group

#

they're playing to the other huge percentage

#

why appease the 0.1% of experts, when all the money is with the 99.9% of people who are looking for exactly what you described

noble basin
#

the only thing I really lament is that the popularity of consoles steals games, money, and game developers off of working on software that works on computers.

real jacinth
#

i hate exclusivity

#

game exclusivity, cross -platform multiplayer

#

at least it's "starting" to open up

noble basin
#

yeah that's a more succinct way of writing what I said.

#

I'm not very concise

real jacinth
#

where it makes sense of course

#

doesn't make sense for me to play OW on PC against a bunch of people with controllers

noble basin
#

except you can plug in a mouse and keyboard into both ps4 and xbone

noble basin
#

(and a controller into a PC if you wanna like, get your ass kicked or something)

safe canopy
#

actually modern fps have such insane auto-aim its actually viable to use controllers versus pc users

#

also helps that they've slowed down a lot and you don't have to do sick 360s constantly like in quake

noble basin
#

lul I started playing borderlands 2 and I turned on auto aim just to see how it would work

#

and I didn't have to touch my mouse

#

I could just hold left click

untold elm
#

borderlands 2 auto aim is op

noble basin
#

and enemies died

#

I kinda wanna keep it on

#

just because I'm so bad at shooters

untold elm
#

do it

#

it's brokenly op

dire gazelle

how do i reopen the mod menu

untold elm

f1

#

for the debug mod menu

#

Do you mean the installer, debug, or what?

dire gazelle
#

installer

novel bronze
#

where did you put it

dire gazelle
#

in my hollow knight folder

#

but its not there

untold elm
#

just redownload it

dire gazelle
#

ok

untold elm
#

that's the easiest thing to do

and just pin it to your taskbar when it's open

tawdry moon
#

So... when will the fix to the 94% freeze in enemy randomizer get released?

#

i want to play enemy randomizer

#

and i know it's possible

#

as it worked before, but isn't working now

real jacinth
#

Nobody is working on it

#

So.... Never

#

The guy who made it is no longer hanging around here

keen yoke
#

o o o f

#

i will never be able to do enemy randomizer again.

glass meteor
#

just fix it yourself

#

ez

keen yoke
#

😦

#

And..

#

How?

glass meteor
#

i mean it looks like it gets stuck on wd so i'd just try removing that scene and see what happens

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

novel bronze
#

Anyone know how the custom knight mod works? I can't seem to figure anything out.

safe canopy
#

doesn't it make a folder somewhere in your game files

#

and you replace the image in there with a custom one

crystal bay
#

yes

tawdry moon
#

how do i delete the 94% glitch thing in enemy randomizer?

#

i found the file for randomizer

#

i just don't know how to delete the shitty thing

#

plz help

#

i have it open in a text editor

#

i have no idea what i'm looking at

sleek tiger
#

Oh

#

that apparently should be fixed in the latest API

#

are you sure everything's up to date?

tawdry moon
#

hmm

#

i guess i'll install the newest API

#

wait...

#

you mean installer?

novel bronze
#

The API is what is used to hook mods into the game

#

it's different from the installer

tawdry moon
#

kk

novel bronze
#

it should automatically be installing updates to the api when you open the installer

tawdry moon
#

welp, it's installed

#

both randomisers and modcommon are installed

#

and the API should fix it?

#

if it's the newest one/

novel bronze
#

Uh there should be a button that says installer api or something

#

click that just in case it didn't auto update properly

tawdry moon
#

it updated

#

and it froze at 94% again...

#

;3;

novel bronze
tawdry moon
#

legit, the screen just freezes at 94%

#

the game works

#

just the screen doesn't change

#

so...

#

how the fuck do i fix this?

novel bronze
#

Do you have programs running in the background?

sleek tiger
#

Could you be running out of RAM

tawdry moon
#

i mean... even if i increase the god damn priority of it and turn every useless thing off, it still doesn't work

#

so i don't think it's RAM's fault

novel bronze
#

RAM is part of it

#

because of how this works

#

it loads most scenes at once

#

the freeze usually happens on White Defender's scene

#

WD doesn't even show up in enemy rando, so honestly, I feel like that should be removed from the randomizer

#

but you can't edit a dll the same as a txt

#

you need an IDE

#

DnSpy can allow you to look inside a DLL, but it shows you decompiled code, which is different from the precompiled code

tawdry moon
#

an... Ide?

#

how the hell do i get an IDE?

novel bronze
#

Visual Studio

#

is an IDE

#

but unless you know some C#, I don't think it will be of much use to you

#

since that is the programming lang that HK mods are written in

tawdry moon
#

I can hear sealed vessel in the background....

novel bronze
#

what

#

then it should be done

tawdry moon
#

but it freezes on the fucking screen

#

i can hear the game

#

i can access the game

#

i just can't play

novel bronze
#

just don't click on anything while it's loading

tawdry moon
#

the screen just freezes

#

I don't click on anything

#

the game works fine

#

it's the loading screen that fucks up

novel bronze
#

if sealed vessel is playing, then it must be getting to the Path of Pain

#

which is the last scene it loads

tawdry moon
#

welp, how do i fix it freezing?

novel bronze
#

the 94% freeze was a bug with the API, that caused it to freeze on WD. However, if it is getting to PoP and freezing, then there must be a small amount of RAM usage outside of HK going on

#

perhaps your browser

tawdry moon
#

i've got discord up

#

that's all

novel bronze
#

try closing discord, then launch the game and load enemy rando

tawdry moon
#

Turned off everything

#

Still freezing

#

Can someone just show me how to get rid of dung defender?

#

I’m on phone rn πŸ˜›

real jacinth
#

It's an issue with the mod itself. A memory leak

#

Cuz like I said yesterday, it was never updated for godmaster

tawdry moon
#

Well... how do I fix it?

real jacinth
#

It used to only need 2 GB of ram

tawdry moon
#

Soooo...

real jacinth
#

You find the program bug and fix it

tawdry moon
#

Push back the version?

#

To pre godmaster?

real jacinth
#

Your game version? You could

#

And manually install all the mods

#

And the proper versions

#

And dependencies

tawdry moon
#

But I don’t wanna corrupt my completion file...

#

And seeing that I can’t fix this

#

I don’t wanna mess around with anything else

real jacinth
#

So back up your completion file

#

Which you should do when messing with mods anyways

tawdry moon
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

just gonna play lightbringer randomizer

novel bronze
#

ok so when i start the game its a black screen i thinks it because of light bringer being outdated

real jacinth
#

What version is your game

#

What number

novel bronze
#

how do i check that?

real jacinth
#

And did you use the mod installer

crystal bay
#

menu screen

#

bottom left

#

did you use this
;i

novel bronze
#

yes i ues the mod installer

real jacinth
#

If you're on the beta, don't be

crystal bay
#

did you download from the above link or somewhere else?

real jacinth
#

Moddb maybe?

novel bronze
#

i downloaded the one zote the mighty gives out

#

got lightbringer from moddb

#

is that a problem?

real jacinth
#

Oof

#

Use the installer dude

novel bronze
#

oh

real jacinth
#

It downloads and installs mods

#

Just run the program

novel bronze
#

the game

real jacinth
#

No. The installer

#

Is an exe

#

Run it

novel bronze
#

what do i next

crystal bay
#

open it up

#

and install the mods you want

#

very self explanatory

real jacinth
#

Click the button that says install

#

Then start up hollow knight

novel bronze
#

then

#

i uninstalled lightbringer

#

its still the black screen without the siloulete of hollow knight

real jacinth
#

Did you close the game first

novel bronze
#

why should i close it

real jacinth
#

Cuz the game is running. How is it going to replace files that are in use

novel bronze
#

ok i closed it

#

should i reinstall hollow knight

real jacinth
#

What

#

No

novel bronze
#

i know how to install mods on the installer

real jacinth
#

With the game closed, use the installer

#

Then open hk after that's done

#

And that's it

noble basin
#

use windon't and you can even install mods with it open

novel bronze
#

its when you start up the game its still black

#

only the cursor is still there

Hello! This might not be the best spot to ask this, but in the randomizer from the mod google drive folder thing, there's a few options when starting a new game, and I'd like to know what they do before I start a game. They're listed under "restrictions" and it says "All bosses" "All charms" etc. Is that the win condition or something else?

untold elm
#

yes

#

that is the condition to enter the black egg

glass meteor
#

Yeah you need said restriction to go into black egg

#

Otherwise hornet says go die

hearty harbor
#

Wow you guys are fast. Thanks a billion!

untold elm
#

np

novel bronze
#

you know what all the skips do?

real jacinth
#

They kill ur run

tiny blade
#

She also says that you are an idiot if you go there without having killed every dreamer. Not that that happened to me before ofc

hearty harbor
#

I was assuming it's like Metroid's VARIA randomizer where you can select the skillsets you know... I don't know any exploits in HK yet

novel bronze
#

shade skip means you have to die in a spot, then pogo the shade to reach a place

hearty harbor
#

That's a neat trick, almost as good as spinning

#

How about the "Salubra notches" and "Lemm sells all"

real jacinth
#

I spin all the time IRL

#

Talk to lemm from the right

#

To sell all

novel bronze
#

salubra notches auto unlocks her notches

glass meteor
#

auto gives you them to be tbh

novel bronze
#

as you meet the requirements

real jacinth
#

Get 5 charms, you get a free notch

novel bronze
#

without having to treck back there and buy em

hearty harbor
#

Oh as opposed to going back to her to buy them

#

Very nice! Thanks guys

real jacinth
#

Yes. Makes builds more interesting and possible

hearty harbor
#

I like the sell all one especially that'll save a ton of button mashing for sure

real jacinth
#

Cuz nobody ever went back to her

novel bronze
#

Mag skips are extremely hard skips that require super good reflexes and god skill

untold elm
#

yeah

novel bronze
#

acid skip means you have to use cheart or something in place of ismas to get acrossed acid

untold elm
#

never turn those on

real jacinth
#

And aren't RTA viable

#

Mostly

untold elm
#

the mag skips

#

like, there is a mag skip of getting to thorns with only vengeful spirit

real jacinth
#

Yeah. Mag skips are a meme

hearty harbor
#

Thanks again for the help I'm eager to start randoing so I'm out

#

I'll be back some day

real jacinth
#

I'd start on easy tbh

novel bronze
#

spike tunnel skips mean you have to pogo buffer with wraiths or spirit to get thru in place of cheart

untold elm
#

yeah

#

start in easy

hearty harbor
#

I will start on easy, until I get a streaming setup and can get some legit practice on the game

untold elm
#

just download obs

hearty harbor
#

In between homes atm

#

hah! yeah I would but I'm living with my wife's parnents and my comp is set up like in the living room. It'd be weird to stream, and it's hard to really pay attention and focus on stuff.

#

I have obs just haven't been able to stream in months

untold elm
#

just practice without streaming lol

hearty harbor
#

Without racing practice isn't fun

#

#

Thanks again!

real jacinth
#

I mean, I disagree.

#

But I also have WRs, so what do I know. zote

hearty harbor
#

If anyone has an extra humble bundle key for this game I'd love to get it on steam... But at this point I guess I'm begging so

#

lmao

daring peak
#

monstah said he would run it

hearty harbor
#

Hey man you're right I just suck at focusing

#

without talking to people at the same time? which I guess isn't focusing so

real jacinth
#

I hear focusing makes you healthy

hearty harbor
#

hmm i suppose I should have seen that one coming

#

I've had Humble monthly for like a year and of course the only month I had to stop paying was the month with the best game ever

real jacinth
#

skyrim?

hearty harbor
#

I've already got it I guess but steam cloud stuff is so handy

real jacinth
#

steam cloud is pointless

just copy your saves to a USB

It fixes the lifeblood damage overflow bug

doesn't that happen when you dash into a spike?

It can still happen if you collide with an object that tinks(such as Grimm's spikes)

pretty sure I've dashed into saw blades

If you want something that changes the game items in the game but kind of makes it easier, I suggest lightbringer

and what is that supposed to do? dont see any information about it on the google drive

yes it's corrupted it was a collection of meme mods and I lost the original zip for it

and it's effort to remake, you can go download the individual meme mods if you care from the google drive

aw, yeah i just now noticed the corrupted zip it extracted

noble basin

it didn't download a zip it downloaded a 404 page

if anyone has a copy of the original zip I would appreciate it but as it is now I may or may not be able to actually recover it since I had lost a bunch of files from having not backed up

there is the zip it downloaded

its ok creator, thx for responding though

should i ignore these errors at the top?

i just started the game though and those were some of the mods that caught my eye that might make the game more fun/enjoyable to play but not make me OP

the knockback is incredibly broken

randomizer 2

we should've said RNG

so that they had random stupid shit

any other fun mods you guys recommend for someone who hasn't played through in a while?

hmm

#

would you be interested in a charm overhaul?

robust blaze
#

πŸ˜› what's it do?

#

also is it compatible with randomizer2?

novel bronze
#

yes

#

it just makes some of the charms that are normally bad worth something, and adds more comboes between charms

oh sweet

installed

for instance, making it so Baldur Shell can regen while Hiveblood is equipped with it

it's weird to me that the readmes are only readable after ytou install a mod

although I ugess it makes sense if it has to grab it from the server along with the files

Not sure if the installer can actually fetch my readme, because it's an .rtf, rather than an .md

untold elm

your readme works

#

someone said it didn't for them

#

oh

novel bronze
#

so I wasn't sure

#

that's an old one tho

untold elm
#

oh

#

okay

novel bronze
#

that's not the most recent readme

untold elm
#

weird

I can tell because I don't see the Glowing Womb buff written there

untold elm
#

yea

novel bronze
#

which was added in one of the most recent updates

untold elm
#

huh

robust blaze
#

so problem: I got to the first part where you need the ranged attack, and now can't get past the dude you need the ranged attack to kill. Do I just have to die and then not go tha tway?

novel bronze
#

are you on easy, hard, moglar, or custom difficulty for item rando?

robust blaze
#

easy

novel bronze
#

there is always a way past it

#

maybe a charm

like weaversong or glowing womb

#

or elegy

#

dive can also kill it

#

wait in snail mound?

robust blaze
#

all I have is dash

novel bronze
#

the one in snail mound just nail it

#

it won't shield

#

rando prevents it

robust blaze
#

it definitely shields

#

or do you mean it shields but takes damage anyway?

novel bronze
#

@versed needle uhh, the baldur is supposed to not be shielding
