*gradow

untold elm
#

I had to delete the installer and reinstall it but that's it

runic oriole
#

hm...

#

normal pike
#

#

where do i drop the customknight files?

real jacinth
#

in the customknight folder

#

next to the mods

normal pike
#

is it in locallow > team cherry > hollowknight?

#

bc right now im there

#

and my managed folder isnt even there???

#

wtf

#

#

real jacinth
#

gloomy crater
normal pike

thank you

#

Hello, does anyone know how I can add my own image to the game? Like the lightbringer mod

novel bronze
earnest agate
#

i think there is a bug with the Bonfire mod..?

#

i did a respec and i put all but 1 point in to strength but i actually tested my damage and i dont do more than default

#

i had 11 strength or something, which 6 shot a husk guard, but with 14 strength i 13 shot the same enemy

#

maybe the husk guard suddenly got more health?

#

maybe respecs dont work until the game is restarted, lets hope that fixes it

#

does anyone know what "custom knight" or "omnes deorum" do? they dont have readme files and i cant find info on them via google sadgrub

honest plover
#

Look in the pins

#

They are both in the mod summaries google doc.

earnest agate
#

okie

#

ok so custom knight lets you edit the sprites of the game?

#

do i need to boot the game up first before it will work or can i just jump in to the editing now?

honest plover
#

You'll have to ask the mod maker, or wait until the channel is more active

earnest agate
#

okie dokie ill do a quick boot and go searching for the sprites

crystal bay
#

@earnest agate
You don't boot the game to edit the knight's sprite
When you install the mod it puts a Custom Knight folder in your Mods folder which has all the spritesheets that relate to the knight

#

take those files, edit them, and put them back into the Custom Knight folder

novel bronze
honest plover
#

It may be more helpful to give the crash report instead

earnest agate
#

@crystal bay well i couldnt find my mods folder >.<

#

do i need to make one?

Go to the Game Files path

earnest agate
#

im in the steamapps\common directory

crystal bay
#

then hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

earnest agate
#

okie ty, usually a "mods" folder is directly in the game directory instead of under "managed" so i was confused

crystal bay
#

ok

novel bronze
#

@honest plover but it only happened when I use mod

honest plover
#

I don't know jack on modding, but i think it'd be helpful for those who do to give both the mod you were using, and the error report so they can possibly tell what went wrong

crystal bay
#

what version of the game are you using?

#

(found on the bottom left of the title screen)

#

and are you pirating the game?

runic oriole
#

@novel bronze are you on beta? If so disable it

#

If not, send modlog and outputlog

#

What version of hk are you running?

#

It's sad that the base assumption in these cases is piracy. But it's even sadder that that's actually the most common case

crystal bay
#

well according to AA there are a bunch of people who figure out how to install the mods by themselves (based on download numbers) so it's not as much as it seems

novel bronze
#

I use ver 1.4.2.4

runic oriole
#

Why not 1.4.3.2?

#

Mods only work on most recent patch, which is that one

novel bronze
#

I use GOG ver

#

not steam

#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

runic oriole
#

But, so do I, and gog allows version 1.4.3.2, doesn't it?

#

Anyway, if you're not on current patch, means that you'll have to manually install

novel bronze
#

oh, I see

#

I will check forupdate

runic oriole
#

Ok

novel bronze
#

I can use mod now. Thank you @runic oriole

runic oriole
#

np!

#

I added a function to the installer which prevents that breaking in the future

#

it'll just tell you to update your game

novel bronze
#

yeah!

prime halo
#

how do I install mode

#

how do i install mods? Is there a guide I can follow?

#

I'm on PC steam version]

honest plover
#

Check the pinned messages

prime halo
#

sorry new to discord. How do I do that?

honest plover
#

Are you on mobile or desktop

prime halo
#

desktop

honest plover
#

On the top bar, there is an icon that looks like a thumbtack, may also have a red circle on it

prime halo
#

Found it thanks! Will check that out ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

prime halo
#

Thanks guys! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ was able to install the mod installer. I'll go through the provided google doc to get more details

warm narwhal
#

... voidwalker mod?

runic oriole
#

Wut?

mental hull
#

Hello i recently changed my steam folder from one hard drive to another and now the mod installer doesn't recognize my game as having the last update, should i reinstall the game or is there another way (i already did 2 file checks on steam)?

runic oriole
#

go to appdata/local and delete the ModInstaller folder

glass meteor
#

or just rename the installer to something else

#

that makes it use different settings

#

I recommend triumph.exe

runic oriole
#

so, 56. I need ideas

#

here's what I added to check for the patch version

wheat shore
#

Ah. So it isn't just me having trouble with the installer all of a sudden then. Thought I'd broken it somehow.

runic oriole
#

what issue are you having?

#

also, I'm an undercover weeb, AAA, don't let that info spread

wheat shore
#

I'm getting the same notification telling me to update the game despite already having the newest version. (No beta.)

runic oriole
#

try deleting it and redownloading it

wheat shore
#

Did so and it didn't help. Made sure the local folder was gone too. It's odd because the installer was working fine around two days ago.

runic oriole
#

ok, try something for me?

#

u know where the Managed folder is?

wheat shore
#

I do not, no. Mind pointing me in its direction?

runic oriole
#

steam?

wheat shore
#

Yup.

runic oriole
#

steam/steamapps/common/hollow knight/hollow_knight_data

wheat shore
#

Ah, okay. Got it.

glass meteor
#

Gradow no

#

That'll kill anyone who doesn't have the most up to date api

#

Which they can't update because they can't open the installer

runic oriole
#

yeah

#

that's the idea 56

#

get on with the program or get out

#

so, any suggestions?

#

previously I didn't check for API, but that broke because many people don't have the .vanilla file yet

#

but I can't not check for it and only check for the vanilla assembly, because, what if people have the api installed and don't have the vanilla assembly?

glass meteor
#

Load the assembly via reflection

#

Check if it has the Modding namespace

#

You can also check game version with that

warm narwhal
#

about my previous comment

#

this thing

#

no idea what

runic oriole
#

but that's...

#

:effort:

warm narwhal
#

who made it?

#

the video creator?

glass meteor
#

Aeraloth

runic oriole
#

I don't think aera is a modder

glass meteor
#

He made that mod

runic oriole
#

o

#

he is

wide bloom
#

So uhh how does the AU work for the mod installer

runic oriole
#

I stand corrected

warm narwhal
#

cool cool

#

his resprites look really cool

runic oriole
#

we're currently having technical difficulties, blackbeard

wide bloom
#

Aight but downloaded mods work ?

warm narwhal
runic oriole
#

sure

warm narwhal
#

especially the hp

wide bloom
#

That looks cool

warm narwhal
runic oriole
#

56 how to reflecc when you don't injecc

warm narwhal
#

doesnt it?

wide bloom
#

It looks nice

runic oriole
#

@glass meteor

glass meteor
#

wdym

#

Assembly.Load?

runic oriole
#

yeah, sorry I tried to meme

#

but that's it

gloomy crater
glass meteor
#

๐Ÿ˜ค

astral glen
#

hey so i came looking for the randomizer mod? anywhere i can find that?

#

one more question ... i literally just installed the game, and mod installer says i need to update it?

wide bloom
#

They are having some issues

astral glen
#

ah i see

#

ill wait to randomize it then and just stream a full run through first, thanks!

clear raft
#

i'm having an issue with the mod installer, it shows a message saying that the access to "AU" is being denied

#

does someone know how to fix this ?

real jacinth
#

run as admin

clear raft
#

didn't work

#

nvm, found a solution

#

thanks anyway

glass meteor
#

but what was the solution

clear raft
#

it's something envolvim my whole network and a program error

#

i tried executing it as a admin

#

the same message showed up again

#

apparently my Microsoft .NET Framework was corrupted

glass meteor
#

huh

clear raft
tiny blade
#

did you pirate the game

clear raft
#

no

tiny blade
#

why are you not on cp then

#

get off the beta branch if you are in it

clear raft
#

ok, thanks

tiny blade
trim spear
#

is the voidwalker mod really a thing because i saw a video on it stated as a mod, if so could you link it please?

tiny blade
#

I dont think aeraloth ever finished or released it so no

trim spear
#

oh ok thanks

light frost
#

That voidwalker looks really good is it just the boss or a full mod of the game??

tiny blade
#

i think he meant for it to be for the whole game

#

but one day he just disappeared so im not sure what hes been up to

light frost
#

Oh really? Damn

#

It looked so good

tiny blade
#

ye it was cool

runic oriole
#

@clear raft @astral glen and everyone else: try re downloading the installer

noble basin
runic oriole
#

did you redownload it manually?

noble basin
#

yes

#

I just downloaded it

#

after you made the post in modding

runic oriole
#
f (!File.Exists(Properties.Settings.Default.APIFolder + @"/Assembly-CSharp.vanilla") &&
                    !nonNullTypes.Any(type => type.Name.Contains("CanvasUtil")) &&
                    (!nonNullTypes.Any(type => type.Name.Contains("Constant")) || (string) nonNullTypes
                         .First(type => type.Name.Contains("Constant") && type.GetFields().Any(f => f.Name == "GAME_VERSION")).GetField("GAME_VERSION").GetValue(null) !=
                     _currentPatch))```
#

weird

#

it's working fine for me

noble basin
#

you're not on linux

runic oriole
#

would that change anything?

#

I'm using the correct /

noble basin
#

yes

#

you are using the correct /

#

no errors either

runic oriole
#

weird

noble basin
#

can you do me a favor

runic oriole
#

maybe I uploaded the wrong ver?

noble basin
#

or whatever you're using to check it

runic oriole
#

k

#

btw, just downloaded to test and it worked fine

noble basin
#

TF

#

I can't tell why it's failing in particular

runic oriole
#

same

noble basin
#

so you're looking for Properties.Settings.Default.APIFolder/Assembly-CSharp.dll right?

runic oriole
#

yup

noble basin
#

and Properties.Settings.Default.APIFolder is set with the correct slashes?

#

alright so my rider isn't installed on this pc so I can't really help you directly, but I would greatly appreciate if you could send me a version with some debugging stuff logged

runic oriole
#

a version of what?

#

code?

noble basin
#

the modinstaller

#

ig

runic oriole
#

I'll push it real quick

#

so

#

Properties.Settings.Default.APIFolder = OSPath(OS);

#
        internal static string OSPath(string os)
        {
            return os == "MacOS"
                ? $"{Properties.Settings.Default.installFolder}/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed"
                : $"{Properties.Settings.Default.installFolder}/hollow_knight_Data/Managed";
        }```
noble basin
#

I see

runic oriole
#

so it should be right

clear raft
noble basin
#

I would be so much fucking happier if this error isn't OS specific

#

but

#

that would also suck a lot for you

#

or maybe it'd be better idk

runic oriole
#

did you redownload it?

clear raft
#

yes

runic oriole
#

can you rename the exe to anything and try again?

clear raft
#

just a sec

runic oriole
noble basin
#

well I know how to bypass it

runic oriole
#

oh?

#

well, yeah

#

add a dummy .vanilla

noble basin
#

I wonder what

#

print(type.GetFields().Any(f => f.Name == "GAME_VERSION")).GetField("GAME_VERSION").GetValue(null)) would log

runic oriole
#

I can test that

noble basin
#

or whatever the console output is in c#

runic oriole
#

this is standalone, it won't update

noble basin
#

it says 1.4.3.2

#

but

#

it fails

runic oriole
#

ok

noble basin
#

so

runic oriole
#

I can try removing the if statements progressively

noble basin
#

one of the other things that should be false are true

#

or vice versa

runic oriole
#

to see which one fails

noble basin
#

you could log them all at once

#

alternatively

runic oriole
#

sure

#

wut

#

so the last two checks are useless

#

they are always true

#

so it's basically just checking for vanilla

#

this is weird

#

I had tested that before

#

ok, fixed the third check

#

fucking xmleditey

#

ok, that fixed it

#

smh

#

turns out it's not the installer, it's the xml

#

nice

#

@clear raft care to try one last time?

clear raft
#

no problem

#

actually i already did

#

i'm trying something first

#

brb with some feedback

runic oriole
#

k

noble basin
#

true true false

#

glad only the third one matters

#

also

runic oriole
#

one false should be enough

noble basin
#

why are the other two true

runic oriole
#

because there's no .vanilla (first check) and the api isn't the main assembly (second check)

#

those are the three cases it's checking for

#

regardless of shasums

noble basin
#

ok well

#

that exe you sent works

#

but

#

this pops up and then it quits

runic oriole
#

I only added the boxes, so the main installer should also

noble basin
#

it never created a vanilla assembly

runic oriole
#

how's the folder look like?

real jacinth
#

it doesn't create one. it stores it for later doesn't it

noble basin

real jacinth
#

so if you didn't have one at the start....

noble basin
#

no Assembly-CSharp.vanilla

real jacinth
#

oic

noble basin
#

but it installed the modding api successfully

#

so

#

now I need to reverify

runic oriole
#

but it prolly overwrote another api

#

it needs a vanilla assembly to reference, and I can't provide that for copyright reasons (although the api is basically just that)

noble basin
#

no

#

I verified before running the installer

#

and it crashed before installing the api

clear raft
noble basin
#

until this version

runic oriole
#

if the api overwrites a vanilla dll it's supposed to create a .vanilla

noble basin
#

how does it check if it's vanilla

#

sha1sum?

runic oriole
#

ye

noble basin
#

oh

#

well

#

then ofc it won't work

#

the linux assembly isn't identical to the windows one

runic oriole
#

brb

noble basin
#

imo use reflection to look for a modding api specific thing

#

as a way to see if it's vanilla

runic oriole
#

yeah, that's what I did

noble basin
#

since you're doing that kinda magic already

runic oriole
#

yupyup

#

Kyuu: are you sure you're up-to-date?

#

that last check should defo be false

clear raft
#

i downloaded the last one you sent

noble basin
#

I think gradow means that your game is up to date

clear raft
#

i'll check

#

looks like it's working for now

runic oriole
#

nice

#

also, feel free to use the one from pins

#

without the annoying text boxes

clear raft
#

i'll report here if something goes wrong

#

Thanks for the help @runic oriole and @noble basin

runic oriole
#

@noble basin test?

noble basin
#

ok

runic oriole
#

now I have a global bool for if assembly is api

noble basin
#

alright so far so good it made a .vanilla

#

does reverting back to vanilla actually disable all mods

#

or does it just revert the assembly

real jacinth
#

assembly

gloomy crater
#

reverting assembly disables all mods ๐Ÿค”

runic oriole
#

don't do that

noble basin
#

ok

runic oriole
#

I forgot to change a line of code

#

oof

noble basin
#

it doesn't disable all mods

#

but it does

#

revert

#

successfully

runic oriole
#

yeah, but it doesn't update the bool

#

so it still thinks the assembly is api

noble basin
#

enable all mods

#

ok

runic oriole
#

yeah, that is only checked on loading the installer

noble basin
#

I see

runic oriole
#

to know if it should or not rename that assembly to .vanilla

noble basin
#

welp

#

works 100% as I'd expect now

#

for that button I mean

runic oriole
#

yeah

#

it just swaps .vanilla and .mod

#

which is great for backup, I guess

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

noble basin
#

also

#

no sha1sum for vanilla

runic oriole
#

yup

noble basin
#

is one less thing to worry about

#

esp for the offline mode

runic oriole
#

I also removed the shasum for api

#

now I use it only to make sure it's updated

noble basin
#

awesome

#

get out of here 56

#

for a second I thought he was muted again

runic oriole
#

since I gotta do _assemblyIsAPI = nonNullTypes.Any(type => type.Name.Contains("CanvasUtil")); early on, I use that to determine if assembly is api or not

#

so I don't need any further checks down the line

#

idk why I picked CanvasUtil

#

don't ask me why

#

I think I'm gonna host this

#

it's at least better than what's currently there

glass meteor
#

time to put CanvasUtil in my vanilla assemblies

runic oriole
#

not vanilla anymore, are they?

#

it is done

#

now, slep

#

forgot to push

#

oof

noble basin
#

56 is secretly a team cherry dev

#

he's gonna add CanvasUtil to vanilla

earnest agate
#

is there a way to fix the issue of the mod installer/manager not opening? o.o

novel bronze
#

Can I mod Lightbringer and Charm Overhaul at the same time?

runic oriole
#

@Tuna4242#8101 what's the issue you're having?

tiny blade
#

nice ping nerd

runic oriole
#

Pong

sleek tiger
#

you are banned from insulting my frens

#

only I'm allowed to do that

glass meteor
#

no

sleek tiger
#

yes

earnest agate
#

i know this is never gonna get fixed, ive searched for a solution for many hours over several days but the hollow knight mod installer fails to open properly, sometimes open at all, because of false permission errors, and etc

#

not even gonna follow it up, but its a real problem, but problems dont get solved here, ik that for sure

glass meteor
earnest agate
#

well when i try to get help, i just lose things that i enjoyed in the game

#

and i cant get them back bc the mod installer simply refuses to run

#

and people in "help" channels focus more on making the individual in need of help, feel stupid and bad, than actually providing effective solutions

#

people view losing mods and progress as "help" here, smh im done

runic oriole
#

I literally pinged you a few hours ago asking what was wrong tho

#

but the ping failed

earnest agate
#

cus i left the server

runic oriole
#

so

#

what's wrong?

earnest agate
#

i rlly had enough of some people in this discord, i wanted to know how to fix my dash ability going away and MOST people just made me feel dumb and bad at the game

runic oriole
#

how did it go away?

earnest agate
#

i verified the game files, and all my mods are now broken and unusable

#

and they cannot be reinstalled

runic oriole
#

can you please redownload the installer and see if that fixes it for you?

earnest agate
#

ive downloaded it 7 times

#

8 times actually

runic oriole
#

yeah, yesterday was a clusterfuck

#

I spent literally all day fixing it

#

but it should be working now

earnest agate
#

several errors occured when opening, mainly due to windows being a pretty poor OS, but i cant rlly use anything else, bc linux is not good for gaming atm

#

i dont seem to have issues with any other files on my computer except for the mod installer tho

#

and ive tried giving full permission to everything and running as admin, etc, nothing works

runic oriole
#

can you show me the error you're getting?

earnest agate
#

which one? xD one says the file path is denied ( for some reason), and another, nvm ill get some pictures that will be easier

runic oriole
#

ok

#

before that

#

can you please redownload the installer?

#

like I said all of yesterday's versions are broken

earnest agate
#

i download like 4 times within the last 10 minutes mate

runic oriole
#

ok

earnest agate
#

thats one error, its a .net framework thing, which is always super buggy on its own

runic oriole
#

may I ask where are you downloading the installer from?

earnest agate
#

the only place its available moddb

runic oriole
#

nope

tiny blade
earnest agate
#

thats the only place i could find it

runic oriole
#

that's your problem

#

that's the only updated version of it

earnest agate
#

why does that not come up when i google it tho?

runic oriole
#

because that's not indexed

#

it's a private host

earnest agate
#

D: who that what was a good idea?

runic oriole
#

the fact that the mods contain some of the game's data says that's a pretty good idea

#

TC wouldn't be so keen on us hosting their code publicly online now would they?

earnest agate
#

.< well would it even allow people to pirate the game?

#

or is it just a copyright thing?

runic oriole
#

no, but it's still their copyrighted code and they have all rights to it

#

yup

earnest agate
#

.<

#

you can still search for that kinda stuff even if its not indexed :/ its just a little more difficult

runic oriole
#

not that that has ever been an issue before, be the modding community decided some time ago to not do that just to prevent future backlash

#

yup, and that's enough

#

so, has that fixed it for you?

earnest agate
#

lets see

#

i think its fixed (but the dash issue will stil persist probably)

runic oriole
#

okay, one problem solved, onto another one

#

how did that happen?

#

when did you lose your dash?

earnest agate
#

it happens randomly

#

and it is only fixed via restart, and then it goes again

runic oriole
#

can you describe the issue in more detail for me then? Are you playing normally and suddenly you can't dash anymore?

earnest agate
#

yes

#

ill be walking, or jumping, anything, and the dash will suddenly go away, sometimes it also happens after talking to an npc

runic oriole
#

uh huh

earnest agate
#

or pressing c when talking to an npc

#

other than that i dont know what causes it

runic oriole
#

and it doesn't comeback until you restart the game?

#

okay, I'll ask you to do something for me then

#

next time you play the game, play until this happens

earnest agate
#

uh oh >.< do i have to verify again?

runic oriole
#

then save and quit the game

#

and send me the outputlog

#

can you do that for me?

#

no need to verify

earnest agate
#

outputlog?

runic oriole
#

you said you already did that, right?

#

yeah, it's a file in the saves folder

ok if it happens again ill do that cheers

runic oriole
#

if you already did that, then there's no need to do that again, is there?

earnest agate
#

ty for not being super mean like certain people

runic oriole
#

thanks

#

you can ping me or whatever

#

just be glad firzen isn't here

glass meteor
#

firzen pings Pog

tiny blade
#

@glass meteor we can always ping 56

glass meteor
tiny blade
novel bronze
#

says on the top corner charmingmod didnt load. this means it doesnt work or?

glass meteor
#

the mod creator had a child so the mod is no longer in dev and no longer works

trail flint
#

wait isnt it a dog

tiny blade
#

both i think

trail flint
#

oh

#

makes sense, the last time i saw him was him talking about a dog

novel bronze
#

can someone help me out with the settings here on randomizer 2? idk which to turn false or true

#

i want a normal game just with randomized spells abilities items but not enemies

tiny blade
#

rando 2 will not randomize enemies

#

do you want hard skips or no

novel bronze
#

no i wanna try without

tiny blade
#

then just use easy preset

novel bronze
#

ok and the ones in the middle?

tiny blade
#

you will usually want those off because they are pointless

#

basically if you turn, say, all skills on you will need every skill to be able to enter the black egg etemple

#

same with the others

novel bronze
#

so skills and charms on false will still be randomized

tiny blade
#

yeah

novel bronze
#

ok ty

#

what happens if you dont get an ability you need to progress for example?

tiny blade
#

you will always be able to complete the game

novel bronze
#

like you can get a charm where an ability is supposed to be

#

i hink

#

so you can never get stuck?

runic oriole
#

yup

#

the mod has logic to only randomize items in a way that you can always progress

#

but

#

since you're playing on easy that restricts that logic by a lot

novel bronze
#

but how does it work tho. like lets say i pick up a charm in a place. can that pickup be any charm only or any ability as well

runic oriole
#

so you may find that most useful items aren't randomized at all

tiny blade
#

charms can replace skills and vice versa

runic oriole
#

the randomizer scrambles charms, skills and chests

#

so where there was a charm, now could be a charm, skill or some geo

novel bronze
#

can it happen so you get double jump at the start for example?

runic oriole
#

sure

novel bronze
#

ok trying out bonfire too but that one seems kinda OP

runic oriole
#

in fact, since you're running on easy it's almost guaranteed that by fungal you'll have either claw, dash or djump

novel bronze
#

yeah thats cool i dont want a hardcore run

runic oriole
#

ok

#

also, don't use bonfire

#

it's bad

novel bronze
#

why

#

it seems nice

runic oriole
#

it isn't

#

the game is already pretty unbalanced as it is

#

with bonfire it becomes ridiculous, even with enemies' hp scaling

wide bloom
#

is the mod isntaller au still broken ?

#

or should i reinstall it

novel bronze
#

what do you mean au?

#

the installer works fine for me

runic oriole
#

redownload the installer

novel bronze
#

i just downloaded it

#

btw how is that mod lighbringer

#

and redwing

runic oriole
#

third link

novel bronze
#

i have read the summaries but i mean like if anyone has tried them

#

are they good/work well

runic oriole
#

oh

#

yeah

#

they're very famous

novel bronze
#

and redwing doesnt say much it just says new abilities etc but not exactly what

runic oriole
#

people seem to like them a lot

#

lightbringer was actually what inspired me to mod this game

#

redwing is an homage/addon to blackmoth, another mod

#

now it has become its own beast, but at least that's what it started as

tiny blade
#

hmm tell me more about this blackmoth mod

#

it sounds pretty interesting

runic oriole
#

๐Ÿ‘€

novel bronze
#

blackmoth is the dash attack thing right

runic oriole
#

yeah

#

it changes other stuffs too

#

just like lightbringer

#

some charms

#

and skills

frosty lark
#

Advertising your own mod

#

Omegalul

orchid gust
#

Was just trying out blackmoth but randomly when hit i start floating and lose control of my character?

#

Was wondering if anyone else had experienced this

#

@runic oriole

runic oriole
#

uhhh

#

are you running an updated version?

orchid gust
#

I am running the latest version of the mods and game o:

#

Is the game meant to be played on an older version

#

here just check this out, happened like 3 seconds ago

runic oriole
#

oh, that

#

@noble basin is this the reckoning?

novel bronze
#

just go into inventory you'll fall out of that

runic oriole
#

sup fellow undercover weeb

orchid gust
#

Oh inventory fixes that? Alright :D thanks man

runic oriole
#

I thought that was fixed

orchid gust
#

That was like the one button i didn't press

runic oriole
#

AA submitted a fix a few months ago

#

sorry about that

#

as soon as I get some free time, I'll look into it

orchid gust
#

no problem thebag2H

noble basin
#

Yes, the swarm is coming

#

did I actually submit a fix

#

if not I could

#

but I thought I did at one point

#

but I might have just fixed it in redwing if I was a jerk

novel bronze
#

@orchid gust I just watched your bonfire mod vod. the reason you seemed to be doing less damage at a certain point is because enemy hp scales up slightly with your level. So because most of your stats were in non-dmg, the scaling was much more noticable.

runic oriole
#

this is what I meant to say by "the balance is too thin"

#

if you put every level into str/dex/luck, you get very op very fast

novel bronze
#

he put almost every point into luck

#

so unless he crit, the enemies took forever to die

runic oriole
#

this is still not good

#

but it's way better than it was before

#

for instance, as it is, you should level stats in this order: str, then lck then dex

novel bronze
#

also for some reason he thinks enemies drop random amounts of geo??

runic oriole
#

no, but luck increases geo

novel bronze
#

and I quote, "I think how luck works, is that it increases the geo dropped by enemies that drop random geo"

runic oriole
#

but

#

no enemy drops random geo

#

I gotta watch that

daring peak
#

some drop different amounts the first kill

runic oriole
#

I know u know

#

it's just

orchid gust
#

Yeah i figured it out afterwards.

#

I was mixing two mods btw. The random geo is a mod from the enemy randomizer.

#

Didn't know if it stacked with the luck or not

novel bronze
#

the random geo quote was from the stream before you put randomizer on

orchid gust
#

I didn't have the info sheet for the bonfire mod until like two hours ago, so i was like oh shit im an idiot.

#

Well don't quote me, i suck at talking.

novel bronze
#

It's fine

#

I noticed you miss several breakable walls or hidden things

orchid gust
#

I'll just be doing blackmoth, lightbringer, and then randomizers for fun.

#

Yeah i 111% the game on my main file. I don't plan on being thorough

novel bronze
#

like in greenpath there is a breakable wall in the tall room that has the bench behind the toll gate. and behind that breakable wall are 3 geo deposits

#

or was it 2?

#

it's not surprising if you miss them tbh

#

some of them are not easy to notice

orchid gust
#

It's rather easy to miss things i am not looking for

#

kill me

novel bronze
#

like there is a vine you can cut to get to the greenpath grub by cornifer that is hidden

#

otherwise you need to dash or pogo a squit to reach it

runic oriole
#

or just pogo the spikes tbh

#

oh, you mean the grub

#

yea

novel bronze
#

pogoing spikes to reach the grub nowhere near the spikesok_grimm

#

that chaos mod super nail could do it

#

maybe

orchid gust
#

When i found out there was a mod manager i was so happy. Cause i have already done pretty much everything the base game has to offer.

#

Super glad this game has a modding community

novel bronze
#

well, welcome to the world of modding

orchid gust
#

It's my favorite video game ever.

novel bronze
#

I am Abyssal Alchemist, maker of Charm Overhaul

#

that over there is Gradow, maker of Blackmoth and Bonfire

orchid gust
#

I feel so stupid for not finding that spreadsheet.

#

I was like damn why my damage getting cut. I thought it was just a, build your own character stat page. Had no idea of the behind the scenes scaling.

runic oriole
#

and the installer

novel bronze
#

yeah that too

runic oriole
#

without that scaling, bagel, this mod is just absolutely broken

orchid gust
#

Installer kept updating the unoffical patch every time i launched it.

#

I know! :D

runic oriole
#

you steamroll everything

orchid gust
#

I thought that was the point tbh

novel bronze
#

that is because it has a broken shasum

runic oriole
#

prolly

#

"not my problem" - KDT, 2018

orchid gust
#

In my mind, the mod was not going to scale enemy hp, but more so your own output.

novel bronze
#

it does both

runic oriole
#

hence the graph I posted before

orchid gust
#

Yuh

novel bronze
#

you do scale faster than the enemies if you put more into damage

runic oriole
#

like I said, you should always level str > lck > dex

orchid gust
#

It was all based off of ignorance

#

Had i went in knowing there was scaling like that, it would have been waaaay different

novel bronze
#

how'd enemy rando go? I didn't watch it yet. I'm sure you noticed the multitude of problems

orchid gust
#

I did that off stream

#

Tbh it is hilarious

runic oriole
novel bronze
#

any enemy rando mode other than chaos is basically unplayable because the collector could lock you out of a room

orchid gust
#

Hmmm

#

The only mode i didn't play test was chaos

runic oriole
#

rando2 is where it's at

#

best mod hands down

orchid gust
#

I plan on doing runs with enemy randomizer and randomizer 2

runic oriole
#

most fun, at least

novel bronze
#

plus you can get hard locked by combining enemy rando with item rando

orchid gust
#

Heh

#

Sounds like mods

novel bronze
#

because an important item can be flukenest

#

and enemy rando doesn't let flukemarm spawn where she should

orchid gust
#

Randomizer 2 was pog. Instead of veng spirit, i ended up with glowing womb.

#

At first i thought, hmmm how do i go

novel bronze
#

item rando also tends to need a decent knowledge of item locations and map layouts

orchid gust
#

Then realized i am silly

novel bronze
#

so if you still rely on compass it might be bad

runic oriole
#

this

#

also

grim bison
#

hey i got a question is there a way to get the white cloak from lightbringer in the base game ?

real jacinth
#

base game, no. modded game, yes

#

it's the customknight mod

grim bison
#

ah thanks!

#

that was fast ^^

#

is it in the drive folder you postet in modding the "customknight sprite packs" folder ?

runic oriole
#

I think so

grim bison
#

it is not unfortunately sadgrub

little inlet
#

which one?

#

custom knight or light bringer, because i just checked, they're both there

#

Also, do i need to use the modding API for all mods or just the API mods, becasue i tried for 3 straight hours to install light bringer and i couldn't get them to work

novel bronze
#

you need api

#

use this

#

it will automatically install latest api when run

little inlet
#

what will?

#

That?

novel bronze
#

yes

little inlet
#

thanks

novel bronze
#

put it somewhere that you can easily find it again

little inlet
#

done

novel bronze
#

little inlet
#

real jacinth
#

Press install

#

Done

little inlet
#

real jacinth
#

Okay

little inlet
#

Wait, should it be in the hollow knight folder?

grim bison
#

i have mods installed ( they are great i am very thankful that these exist) but is there a way i can extract the knight outfit from lightbringer and use it for the custom knight mod ?

real jacinth
#

Yes

Just run it

#

From anywhere

little inlet
novel bronze

**Mac**

Yes, mods can be installed on a mac.
You can use the installer
To run the installer:

  1. Open the Terminal
  2. Type cd dirname $(
  3. Drag the exe onto the terminal.
  4. Type ) then hit Return/Enter
  5. Type mono --arch=32 (Note the space at the end)
  6. Drag the exe onto the terminal and then hit Return/Enter

If this fails with bash: mono: command not found then

  1. install mono here
  2. Open a new terminal window
  3. Type/paste in export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH} and hit Return/Enter
  4. Repeat steps 2-6 above.

mod installer gives error when running. What else do I have to do when I install this program?

tiny blade
#

whats the error

void comet
#

I do not remember the pc at the moment I do not have a chance to show it in a picture

runic oriole
#

When you're at a pc show us the error

void comet
#

OK, what problem do I have to download after decoding the problem?

runic oriole
#

I don't understand

gilded dome
#

you just download and replace the old modinstaller and that's about all it takes to fix it

#

just watch out they'll send 'outdated' stuff at you

runic oriole
#

wut

#

who sent outdated stuff at who?

gilded dome
#

the modinstaller sennds an error and then it aimlessly searches for an update

#

when you install it again

#

itll ask you to install 'outdated' mods again

runic oriole
#

there's ONE mod that's broken and keeps asking to update when it's already updated

#

it's not the installer

gilded dome
#

you can just say 'no fuck you' and itll go away

#

the three mods are Redwing, Infinite Grimm and Grimmchild Updates

#

at least thats what i got

runic oriole
#

lemme check

gilded dome
#

if it doesnt send an error your way then yours aint broken

runic oriole
#

it's not the installer, m8

#

that's what I've been saying

#

that's an error on the mods part

gilded dome
#

then the 3 mods crashed the whole installer for me to download it again?

#

think about it

runic oriole
#

I just installed them using the installer

tiny blade
runic oriole
#

sure, they prompt to update when running the installer again

#

but they don't crash anything

tiny blade
#

Nรฃo

gilded dome
#

then why did it crash and every time i tried to open it it always endlessly searched for installer updates

runic oriole
#

when was that?

gilded dome
#

everytime i tried to open the installer

runic oriole
#

like... Yesterday?

gilded dome
#

like 15 minutes ago

#

i downloaded it again

runic oriole
#

idk

#

did you download it from here?

gilded dome
#

yeah

runic oriole
#

you can just run your installer, it should be fine

sour inlet
#

Anyone here is familiar with Game Maker 2? ๐Ÿค”

why would anyone here be familiar with game maker 2

Just asking..

runic oriole

idk Qerrum

#

need help?

sour inlet
#

yeah im struggling with viewports and such in Game maker 2

#

And im like few days from submit date so sort of panic mode xD

runic oriole

maybe kerr or KDT would be familiar with it

#

but kerr has pupper+babby and KDT is KDT

what exactly do you need?

#

let's move to modding btw

novel bronze
#

Hey real quick, for the load normalizing mod, anyone happen to know where it would go for installation?

buoyant creek
#

My PC says that mod installer is a virus and doesn't allow me to install it :( There's any option to solve it or I should go to another thing?

noble basin
#

get a less shit virus scanner

real jacinth
#

your virus detection is a virus

#

you can manually allow the program to run

buoyant creek
#

I'll try it

real jacinth
#

@novel bronze just plop it in the mods folder where the game files are

#

hello

#

im here asking for help

#

i got the debug menu and i have no idea how to get the menu up at all

#

i have heard people say backspace or f1 but neither work

runic oriole
#

are you sure it's installed?

#

what's it say on the top left of the game's title screen?

sage latch
#

it says

#

"Modding API: 1.4.3.2-46

#

"

#

yes that exactly.

#

Hello?

runic oriole
#

only that?

#

nothing else?

sage latch
#

yes

runic oriole
#

then you only have the api installed

#

not the debug mod

#

get this installer

#

and install debug

sage latch
#

i installed the debug and put it in im pretty sure

#

but thanks

#

illt ry it

runic oriole
#

well, just to be sure

#

show me your Mods folder

sage latch
#

Like a folder i keep All my mods in or just hollow knight mods? i dont really like the files that much they are confusing.

runic oriole
#

hence the installer

#

well, if you installed debug correctly it would be in a folder called Mods inside Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed

sage latch
#

oh i kinda want a few of theese other ones too

runic oriole
#

ok then

sage latch
#

specificly charm notches

#

alright

#

here

#

i found the mod folder

runic oriole
#

well, it's useless now that you've used the installer

#

I wanted to see if the debugmod was there before you used the installer

sage latch
#

oh

runic oriole
#

anyways

#

it should work now

sage latch
#

alright

#

i hope so

#

i mainly want to fight the sisters of battle

#

hope this works

#

thanks

runic oriole
#

just... Fight them normally?

sage latch
#

no

#

i mean

#

unlock them

runic oriole
#

oh right

sage latch
#

then fight them normally

#

without going through godhome

runic oriole
#

well, you're gonna need to anyway

#

the most debug can help you is giving you infinite hp and attack

sage latch
#

ok

#

wooooah

#

options

#

thank you

#

whats the difference between invincibility and infinite HP btw

real jacinth
#

One you get hit. One you dont
