u die

[proper hatch]

why does this confuse me even more/

the modinstaller updated the modapi yesterday or the day before i believe

[rocky moss]

how to remove the infinite soul thing from redwing?

i dont really want that

if possible id like to remove the "shield" too

idk if its really

[real jacinth]

sounds to me like you just don't like redwing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky moss]

its not that

i love redwing but the infinite soul it has make it looks more like a cheat instead of a mod

soo

[real jacinth]

assuming mods are always "balanced"

[rocky moss]

LOL

but seriously is there a way to remove that?

[real jacinth]

uninstall

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky moss]

without removing redwing

[real jacinth]

accept the fact that the maker made you badass and OP on purpose and play the game

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[glass meteor]

i mean there's a config file

might be in there

[rocky moss]

ikr but i found nothing about it there

can i send the file here to see if you can find something?

[proper hatch]

but, there's no way to fix my crashes?

if needed i could send the error details 🤷

[rocky moss]

@proper hatch what do you guess is causing your crashes?

[proper hatch]

i have the idea it's something sound related, but i'm not a master in reading the error logs

[rocky moss]

nani

did you pay for your game?

[proper hatch]

yeah ofcourse i did

little part of error log 🤷

i even bought the game twice xd

once for pc and once for switch

[rocky moss]

idk whats that,sorry

but if its about sound and not mods i dont guess you should ask here

[real jacinth]

verify file integrity

[proper hatch]

1 corrupted file reacquired

but i think that was the modAPI

[safe canopy]

it says fmod

which is a audio library

[proper hatch]

yeah that's how far i came, but i can't find out what causes this, also modlog is not showing any errors

[rocky moss]

How do i enable the "hard mode" from redwing?
cant find it in settings

[proper hatch]

@rocky moss sorry for the late reply, but isn't it in the game settings?

[viscid tulip]

how can i respawn close to a boss after i die? i'm trying to learn the any% run. i tried using debug mod and saving a respawn point but when i hit respawn it clips me under the ground.

[versed needle]

Dream gate

[viscid tulip]

ah ty ty

[proper schooner]

hi, is Glorious Comrade compatible with Ultimatum Radiance ?

[versed needle]

Probably

It's just a texture edit

If I'm thinking of the right thing

[proper schooner]

thx !

another question, where do I find Glorious comrade ? :/

[karmic swallow]

what's the latest modding api?

[versed needle]

47

@proper schooner Idk, ask verulean

Probably not even uploaded anywhere

[proper schooner]

ok, I'm allowed to ping him ?

[versed needle]

You're allowed to ping anybody but it's questionable if they'll be ok with it

[proper schooner]

ok, so...

@gloomy crater hi, I search the Glorious Comrade mod but don't find it. Do you now where I can find it ?

[ivory mauve]

So quick question, how much experience do mods require to set up after installation and how likely is that I'll screw up everything

[warm narwhal]

Define “set up”

[crystal knot]

can anyone explain how the bosses' fights are coded in the base game and where i can find the code for it? I looked around the Assembly-CSharp with ILSpy, could not find anything

[novel bronze]

well, that's because they are made in playmaker fsm

have fun

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/297468195026239489/494544243147276288/The_Hollow_Knight.png

[crystal knot]

OOF

not really familiar with playmaker, guess i should learn more about it

[novel bronze]

when you mod bosses, you basically have to write code that "destroys" an fsm, then rewrite it in C#

[coral zenith]

i'm so sorry

for you

[crystal knot]

hmmm, guess i can base my mod off of an existing one and learn from that

[novel bronze]

you can always ask 56 for help

[crystal knot]

alright, will ask if i need help, thanks

[novel bronze]

they helped me make charm overhaul

me being, a person with little to no experience with this sort of thing

[crystal knot]

i see

i am quite comfortable with C#, but unity is kinda new to me

[novel bronze]

couldn't just have them in the same fsm. nope had to make all directions of elegy different fsms

good job wilbo

[coral zenith]

didnt ari muck around in fsms as well?

[novel bronze]

one example of a thing i did in my mod, was make it so when fury ws equipped during overcharm, it would set hp to 1 aand activate the effect(i later made it so it also requires compass to activate the effect, in case you want fury on overcharm without the 1 hp)

(and no, the above image did not end well)

for whatever reason, this effect did not extend to the fury elegy combo

i assume this has to do with the shitty way the elegy fsm is set up

[crystal knot]

lol

where do you find the fsm stuff?

[coral zenith]

you can view fsms in the fsm viewer

it's pinned in #archived-modding-development

@crystal knot https://github.com/nesrak1/HollowKnightFSMView/releases

[crystal knot]

i see, thanks

[runic oriole]

Sid, you should refer to #archived-modding-development for help with making your own mods

[tiny blade]

shut up

[crystal knot]

alright

[tacit fern]

The enemy randomizer mod keeps freezing at 94 percent for me, does anyone know how to fix this?

[real jacinth]

by re-coding the mod

it's not stable right now

[tacit fern]

oh

[rocky moss]

How do i activate the hard mode from redwing?

im asking this for a day already and nobody responds me

[real jacinth]

people have answered you multiple times

but okay

[rocky moss]

@real jacinth i dont remember that,the only one who responded me said this

and isnt there

[real jacinth]

people have told you over and over to do it in the config

and then you whined "I don't know where that is."

then we say, it's where your saves are

then we posted where your saves are

then you say you don't know what you're doing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky moss]

its not there too

[real jacinth]

the config file, or "hard mode"

[rocky moss]

that was another problem,about the infinite soul,but i dont care anymore

[real jacinth]

that's fine, don't answer my question

[rocky moss]

mb

[real jacinth]

the config is most likely a json

[rocky moss]

anyway theres nothing about hard mode on the config file

only things like damage and cooldown

[real jacinth]

and there's no other bools in there that are "true" and "false"

[rocky moss]

yes,but i found nothing about hard mode

[real jacinth]

well it might be a different name

what are all the bools

[rocky moss]

brb

"overrideBlackmothNailDamage",
"overrideBlackmothLore",
"overrideBlackmothCloak",
"handicapAllNonFireAttacks",
"lasersWhenShieldBlocksAllDmg",
"useEnglishLoreWhenLanguageMissing",
"useEnglishWarningInfoWhenLanguageMissing",
"applyBindingsToRedwingAttacks"

heres the file btw

so?

ye nothing again

[real jacinth]

Well, I was going to keep trying to help you, but not anymore. your attitude is garbage, and you're far from my top priority right now

[rocky moss]

Im sorry for being like that,i just need help for some days and nobody helps me

I understand if you dont want to help me,ill just stop playing redwing for now

Thanks for paying attention.

[crystal sage]

can you mod hollow knight on steam?

[safe canopy]

you can only mod it on steam

well pc

[crystal sage]

ok

so if i connect a controller to my mac it should also work with hollow knight right

[faint heart]

Where do I check mods for Hollow Knight out?

[real jacinth]

;i

Dammit zote

.....3rd pinned message

[crystal sage]

[runic oriole]

[runic oriole]

oof

yeah, it's a pin

bot is ded

[crystal sage]

[runic oriole]

third pin from the top

[crystal sage]

ok this looks really confusing

[runic oriole]

just

use the installer

[crystal sage]

lol

[runic oriole]

it's as simple as that

[crystal sage]

alrighty then chill

[runic oriole]

unless you pirated the game

if so, good luck

[crystal sage]

lol no havent bought the game on my computer yet

so it works with steam this installer thing

[real jacinth]

No. It works with your computer

[runic oriole]

it works with any pc install of the game

as long as it's a legit one

and not pirated

[crystal sage]

[runic oriole]

humble bundle, gog, steam, etc.

[crystal sage]

this shit all seems a bit weird not gonna lie

dafuq im on macos and i did what it said it says "-bash: mono: command not found"

[real jacinth]

Zote not working is annoying

[crystal sage]

ok thanks ill try that

rip zote

sorry im not very good with this modding type stuff

[real jacinth]

If you search ";mac" in discord history you can find zotes response

[crystal sage]

ohk

[real jacinth]

And click the blue link

[faint heart]

What are bindings?

[crystal sage]

now i have the mono32 thing open but theres no window

oh nvm

yes i got it thanks @real jacinth

[dull urchin]

hey

um

I'm having trouble finding what i need.. to find?

i guess

'couldn't locate hollow knight installation folder'

[coral zenith]

;i

ah did you buy hollow knight

[dull urchin]

which folder does it mean,, ;;<;;9

[coral zenith]

or did you pirate it

[dull urchin]

A friend bought it for me ,,

[crystal sage]

how to i go back to vanilla unmodded hollow knight on steam?

[coral zenith]

there's something on the bottom of the installer that says "revert" or smt like that

@dull urchin do you have it on steam or gog etc?

[dull urchin]

Um, i just have it on my pc. Not steam

[crystal sage]

i did that and it says "unable to locate vanilla hollow knight, please verify integrity of game files and relaunch this installer"

[coral zenith]

right you'll need to buy the game for the mod installer to work

[crystal sage]

so either steam doesnt work with this or idk

[coral zenith]

you could just like uninstall or reinstall

[dull urchin]

I need to buy it myself. Yike. I have no monies,,, Oh well,,

thanks, anyway.

[tawny carbon]

just re download

[crystal sage]

idk sounds like kind of a pain in the ass to uninstall/reinstall the whole thing every time i want to play with or without mods

[coral zenith]

im assuming you didn't back up your original assembly csharp.dll

[tawny carbon]

JUST RE DOWNLOAD

[crystal sage]

god damn relax

[coral zenith]

back up your vanilla assembly csharp.dll

[dull urchin]

relax,, I can't. seriously.

[crystal sage]

english?

[coral zenith]

also mod installer usually works fine when removing mods

[tawny carbon]

re download

[dull urchin]

Ii can't.

sugar

[tawny carbon]

why

[dull urchin]

chill, please

A friend bought the game for me and sent me the files.

[tawny carbon]

re download the installer i mean

[dull urchin]

oh

[safe canopy]

so he bought the game 🤔

[tiny blade]

🤔

[crystal sage]

ok

[safe canopy]

and then gave it you 🤔

[dull urchin]

yes.

[coral zenith]

😔 🍞 it sure be like that

[safe canopy]

sounds suspicously like you don't own the game 🤔

[tawny carbon]

just re download the installer and locate it then fixed

[coral zenith]

sugar youve said this same sentence five times now

[safe canopy]

but if its gog, you need to point it to the correct folder

as the installer looks for steam

[crystal sage]

i feel like everyone in the channel expects people to be pro modding people

[coral zenith]

they dont have it on gog

[tawny carbon]

triggered

[coral zenith]

i think they just have the hollow knight.exe

[tawny carbon]

well i use gog

[safe canopy]

nah all steam games have drm

[tawny carbon]

it works fine

[safe canopy]

so it has to be a gog install

or they are using cream.dll

[dull urchin]

there is the data files, but i dunno if that's related.

what?

[crystal sage]

I have the installer, it works fine but idk what is going on here

i downloaded a new one

and re did the command to open it and shit with the new one and it just turns out the same

[dull urchin]

I don't think it'll work on mine. oof...

[tawny carbon]

teddie re download the installer

[dull urchin]

huh

it just went to

something else

the installer i mean

'mod manager'

[crystal sage]

thats what its supposed to do lol

[dull urchin]

I'm guessing it's.. working now

yike

[crystal sage]

the thing opens a mod manager, you can install mods from it

[dull urchin]

thank the lord

[crystal sage]

ik it looks shady asf but it works fine

[dull urchin]

jgjh

[crystal sage]

for the most part

[tawny carbon]

who are you thanking to ?

[dull urchin]

can someone point me in the direction of the custom knight mod?

[tawny carbon]

sure

[crystal sage]

its in there

[tawny carbon]

[crystal sage]

[crystal sage]

[safe canopy]

to send you right there

[crystal sage]

alright jesus

[safe canopy]

nah steam just puts all the files in random places

[tawny carbon]

yw

[crystal sage]

you realize im new to this stuff right dumbass?

[dull urchin]

I'll go find it later. Thanks though.

[coral zenith]

hk > properties > local files

[faint heart]

What does the CharmOverhaul mod do?

[faint heart]

How do I configure Grimmchild Upgrades?

[proper schooner]

oh guys, I've installed Daughter of Hallownest. In my mind : "Oh, I love the Hornet's fight but it's to easy, a mod for make it harder ? Yeah ! " But now : "WTF stop dashing on me, you're not supposed to fly, you're not suppose to summon Radiance's attacks !"
Has anyone tips for that boss ?

really, i like challenge but she is harder than ult rad

[safe canopy]

thats the point

sorry, ngg kinda ruined modded bosses for this game

[proper schooner]

ngg ?

[safe canopy]

ngg was the first modded boss, and was purposefully extremely hard. and pretty much every boss after that has also been just x boss but way harder

[proper schooner]

:(

[sharp hinge]

Yeeeah. DoH isn't really my favorite modded boss.

Just doesn't feel good or fair.

[proper schooner]

is it a way to modify the mod myself ?

I just want to slow a little bit her attack speed but don't now if it's possible

[safe canopy]

ye it might not be easy though

[proper schooner]

:(

thanks, and just a last question, I'm not good at programming and I don't know what are exactly dll files, but why mod's files are dll and not a basic code file ?

[safe canopy]

same reason exes are exe and not code

[novel bronze]

basic code file

a what

[real jacinth]

A dll is just packaged code

[proper schooner]

ok, thanks for your answers

[safe canopy]

basic code file, obviously they mean a file with code written in BASIC

even though pascal is better than basic

[faint heart]

How do I configure Grimmchild Upgrades?

[novel bronze]

what does chaos mode and room mode do in the enemy randomizer mod?

chaos randomizes every enemy every time you transition between rooms

room mode will randomize the enemy types within the confines of each room, and those enemies stay that way for the run

normal is room, but it affects every enemy in the game

instead of per room

Ok so I just started a run and the enemies don't seem to be changed right now

I have it set to chaos mode btw

[real jacinth]

did you press the load button?

at the title screen?

[novel bronze]

so, for example, if you play room mode, and a crawlid in kings pass is replaced with, say, brooding mawlek... all crawlids in that room will be brooding mawlek.
if you are on normal mode, it will apply to all crawlids in the game

on chaos, any enemy can be any other enemy, with some restrictions

what load button?

there is a thing that says [LOAD RANDOMIZER]

on title screen

should be around top left-ish corner

by the logo

I see a bunch of text in the top left corner

some of it says FAILED TO LOAD

those are mod names

which failed

of them

I dont see anything that says LOAD RANDOMIZER though

should I restart the game?

which mods failed to load

[real jacinth]

pick a different background

so you can see the load text

cuz I believe it's black

[novel bronze]

ok now it showed up

also no it was not black

It's flashing through a bunch of different areas and lagging

on the title screen

[real jacinth]

it's loading

every single enemy in the game

[fading tendon]

the randomizer 2 mod, the text is all messed up, is that fixable?

[real jacinth]

lol

should be fixed. was an april fool's deal

should have gone away

so change your system time

if it's still april 1

[fading tendon]

great I'll try that, i'm really enjoying the randomizer so kudos to whoever did that

[novel bronze]

that would be Seanpr

[daring peak]

thanks seanpr!

[real jacinth]

thanks seanpr!

[tiny blade]

thanks seanpr!

[low heart]

thanks seanpr!

[astral zinc]

two opinion questions:
Blackmoth or lightbringer?
And which skin do you recommend me?

[real jacinth]

lightbringer overrides custom knight

so won't work

[astral zinc]

o

so lets suppose ill use blackmoth

which skin should i use?

[real jacinth]

whichever one you like best

[astral zinc]

which one do you recommend me?

like your favorite one

[real jacinth]

I like ghost

but I'm weird

a lot of people like grimm

"shadow" would fit the theme of blackmoth

[astral zinc]

Okay thanks ❤

[real jacinth]

or use "neon" for the lulz

or "graig"

[astral zinc]

okay

o also @real jacinth i still dont know which one to use,so blackmoth or lightbringer?

sorry for pinging you

[real jacinth]

depends on what you want

they're both good

[astral zinc]

which one do you like more?

[real jacinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

play one, then the other

[astral zinc]

okay,thanks again

[real jacinth]

blackmoth makes dash your dmg source

lightbringer is ranged attacks

both are good

[daring peak]

if you like hearing things don't play lightbringer 🙂

[astral zinc]

lol okay

[novel bronze]

is debug mod compatible with the current patch?

there are 3 options the first two are 1.whaever

the last one jjust says debug mod

so

yes i guess ^^^^

[novel bronze]

[safe canopy]

[]

[novel bronze]

oh thanks

[empty hound]

[empty hound]

[empty hound]

what is the meaning of this?

[empty hound]

[proper schooner]

[errant bloom]

hey, hurt that there are some fun mods for hollow knight. I've 112% the normal game and want to spice it up. How do I get started with modding?

*heard

[runic oriole]

@empty hound modlog is in your saves folder

[empty hound]

thanks

[proper schooner]

how can I use the pale prince mod ? It says "FAILED TO LOAD !" and it makes my game crash

[coral zenith]

@glass meteor

[glass meteor]

Why

Oh I can swap this to the api hook now

Blessed

and cursed

[faint heart]

How do I configure Grimmchild Upgrades?

[glass meteor]

There's a file in your saves folder

[faint heart]

Where is my saves folder?

[glass meteor]

;saves

@novel bronze you bastard

[faint heart]

Asking me or Zote?

[glass meteor]

[faint heart]

Windows.

[glass meteor]

Zote is on an old rhel server

%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\

[glass meteor]

@proper schooner it's fixed now

[proper schooner]

Thx !

[crystal sage]

sorry if this is a dumb question, but how exactly do i use the custom knight mod?

[crystal bay]

@crystal sage
https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/7zarz

[crystal sage]

thx

[crystal bay]

yw

[patent fable]

The Rando Map Mod shows this weird question mark. Afaik, there is nothing there that should be marked (only a grub, and those are not marked)
Is this a known bug? And where should it be? Because I am still missing the Mantis Claw and I've looked literally everywhere else...

[daring peak]

any deep focus

[patent fable]

...

I feel SO STUPID now, thanks

[coral zenith]

lmao

[shy wing]

I was scrolling through here and saw that someone was downloading the enemy randomizer mod. Has it actually been fixed?

[novel bronze]

lol no

it just works

for some people

™

[real jacinth]

items?

cuz that works just fine

only the enemy randomizer is out of date

well that won't happen

lol

you'd have to find 2 copies of cloak by that point

[uncut stratus]

hi guys, I just recently purchased the game after playing on a pirated copy for a bit to test it out. However I am now trying to install the lightbringer mod through radiant.host and it's telling me that "please purchase the game before attempting to play it" as soon as I open up the modinstaller.exe. How can I get past this and have it correctly recognize my legitimate steam install?

[real jacinth]

point it to the steam directory version

[uncut stratus]

strange, it wasn't letting me reselect my directory until after i moved the install.exe to the game directory from my downloads folder

[real jacinth]

yes

that's what the item randomizer does

but you don't choose where things go

it's... you know.... random

[runic oriole]

@uncut stratus delete the pirated version and the pirated version's folder

then go to appdata/roaming(or local or locallow, I'm not sure) and delete the folder modinstaller

How do i change up my notches or damage output

Stuff like that

[untold elm]

you cant change notches without just having infinite afaik but you can change your damage output with debug mod by going through bindings and binding it

[safe canopy]

you can edit your save to give yourself whatever number of notches you want

[lost tiger]

But how do i edit the save?

[tiny blade]

you use either the qol mod, kdt's save editor or that one online save editor

kdt's save editor is the easiest one to use

it's pinned here

[safe canopy]

notches in the editor doesn't actually work, you need to save it as a switch file then edit it then reopen it and save as pc

[limber lotus]

do yall know if theres a way to revert to a version pre godmaster? i know the enemy randomizer broke with that update so im thinkin it could be fixed by just going back

[safe canopy]

there is

[limber lotus]

👀

how does one accomplish this feat

[safe canopy]

speedrun.com hollow knight guides downpatch

[limber lotus]

snapp

alright ill look into it. thanks man~

[lost tiger]

With kdt save editor how do i download it and use it

[marble sand]

@limber lotus I actually donwpatched and no mods are working at all for me :c I'll try to see if I don goofed somewhere

[lost tiger]

if anyone has spare time to help me learn how to mod from scratch let me know haha

[coral zenith]

there are things pinned in #archived-modding-development that could help you

and ask if you have specific questions

[lost tiger]

Ive never modded before

Like at all

[crystal bay]

that video is very outdated

[lost tiger]

is there one that isnt?

or is there someone who can like give me a rundown on how to do it through dm's where i can ask questions or something

[crystal bay]

@lost tiger
Wdym mod?
do you mean install mods or make mods

If you mean install then:

Open the file and select the mod you want

If you mean how to make mods then there's this https://radiance.host/apidocs/

the docs aren't complete though so you'll have to look at other people's code and use them as examples

I'm writing the section on editing PlayMaker FSMs for the docs right now but that probably won't happen in a while because I am working on other stuff too

thx

[pale vapor]

Really love the "the hollow knight" skin, the whitecloak looks nice too

but yo, modinstaller isn't working (again) so I'd like some assistance getting the installation path set up. Game was lagging like crazy and for some reason making the knight float/randomly be "spiked" to the ground a ton, so I'm just trying to get rid of most of the downloaded mods and do a vanillaish HK playthrough with only Enemy Randomizer added on. Have the Installer, just need a proper installation path set up, so I'd love the assistance in this :D

[runic oriole]

what happens when you click the relevant button in the installer?

[pale vapor]

Sadly not letting me. It's only allowing me to get to the "choose path installation" and showing my folders. However, when I click on my folder for HK modding it says that it's incorrect.

I can get pics if they're needed

[runic oriole]

are you selecting the folder with the game's exe?

[pale vapor]

I'm not sure where that is, do you have an easy way to find that?

[runic oriole]

steam?

[pale vapor]

I can root through my steam folder, yeah

[runic oriole]

I mean, if your game is on steam

but sure

ok, should be on

steamapps/common/

[pale vapor]

I've gone through the steamapps, common, etc and it shows my games, but my version of HK is on a shared acc

and it doesn't show up under Common

[runic oriole]

no issue

just select the folder named Hollow Knight

[pale vapor]

Yeah, when i select "Hollow Knight" it gives me the error

[runic oriole]

show me both the folder and the error

[pale vapor]

sure

[runic oriole]

also, just to be sure you're on the right folder, go to steam library, right-click HK, properties, local files, browse local files

[pale vapor]

https://i.gyazo.com/9f946ff6835a74fe831734d89276ec0e.png

https://i.gyazo.com/4ef671c30396b53908c5872e58054514.png

Ah, it's in my OS folder?

So I should run the installer there, right?

[runic oriole]

no, it doesn't matter where the installer is

it should look on all folders

just select the same folder that you got from doing the steps above

[pale vapor]

https://i.gyazo.com/cffdfc6fb04f48a9406d843f81cd9ddd.png got to here

[runic oriole]

select Hollow Knight

[pale vapor]

alright, so this is the path i need? https://i.gyazo.com/e7ceef5c0329db9e32de74d9424ae864.png

[runic oriole]

yup

[pale vapor]

thank you for the help!

[runic oriole]

that's why I said steampps/common at first

[pale vapor]

you were right

thanks for the quick help!

[runic oriole]

np!

have fun

[pale vapor]

will do!

[ancient mauve]

hey is there a way to respawn enemies when respawning with debug?

[runic oriole]

not sure

the easiest way I think is

creating two dgates, one inside the room and one outside

kill enemies, tp outside, tp inside

rinse and repeat

[pale vapor]

also hey, if i defeat Grimm in the forgotten crossroads here in the randomizer, does that fuck up the DLC later?

[pale vapor]

might just kill him and hope nothing is muffed up

[runic oriole]

uhhh

idk

[lost tiger]

Is anyone here good at modding?

[real jacinth]

Is anyone here good at asking questions?

[lost tiger]

Ooh me!

[novel bronze]

modding staff: exists
hollow: anyone here good at modding?
me:

[lost tiger]

Not cool dude im trying my bestt

[novel bronze]

well, obviously if a modding channel exists, with a modding staff role, and multiple mods existing made by said people

i think it is fair to say

that someone here is good at modding

[novel bronze]

Hey guys, i'm modding my HK for the first time, where do i start? Wanted to install that Ultimate Radiance mod

thanks

[wispy ridge]

is there a document guide or video shwoing how to use Debug Mod. i give myself infinite health to practice, and bugs tht normally take 2 hits wont die lol

i musta misclicked semthing, but im showing only infinite health checked

[real jacinth]

All the keybinds are literally on your screen if you click through the menus. And there's a menu that displays your current character values. And there's an enemy menu that let's you see the enemies, how much hp they have, and make them invincible. It's all there on the screen

[wispy ridge]

i see all the options most of the stuff i understand. but something like, i go kill malek ( or whatever) click my keybind to respawn boss, leave the area come back and nothing happens

[barren sail]

Bonfire Mod deciding not to give some things for level ups, maybe im dumb but needle damage doesnt change, and no extra masks. Been searching for literally any info on this for over half an hour. Ive found one other person who has had the issue but no solution.

[runic oriole]

needle

wut

[novel bronze]

https://streamable.com/drede its fixed now but should i be worried

[versed needle]

vanilla bug

[tiny blade]

people said cp thk was too easy so they buffed him

[daring peak]

no one said that

he's literally impossible already

[lament pecan]

Hello, anyone able to help?

I would like to install a mod for practicing all bindings, I found the ModInstaller Mod on Moddb, but don't know how to apply it

[tiny blade]

that's probably outdated

use the installer pinned here

there's a bindings mod but it doesn't work very well

you'll be better off just editing your save to have 13 nail damage and 4 masks

then just don't equip charms and only cast spells/heal every 3 nail hits

[lament pecan]

hey, i literally just watched your P5 all-binding vid today XD

[tiny blade]

[runic oriole]

wait kuro is good at this game

who knew

[lament pecan]

Collector has been my wall, and its a pain to spend 30 mins to get to him to practice all-binding

[runic oriole]

don't talk about collector new Kuro

you might trigger him

[lament pecan]

i see that you cyclone the aspids in your vid, but it doesn't seem to land double hits for me, they get pushed back before 2nd hit, and release a fireball

so basically i edited the save to 8 masks, since i need to practice him ascended to have the right adds, and since they will do 2 dmg in hall of gods. (P5 is ascended arenas and health pools, but attuned dmg, iirc).

[tiny blade]

how close are you to them

[lament pecan]

i notice you get very close, i try to be, but maybe its not enough

and perhaps im not releasing cyclone early enough

okay being closer does it

[tiny blade]

nice

[lament pecan]

damn, there is not much leeway once its 3 jars though, if you aren't close enough to aspid one, they spit after 1 hit

[tiny blade]

it can get really chaotic if you don't deal with them quickly

if you happen to get them all grouped up one ddark usually clears everything

otherwise just shade soul

[lament pecan]

yeah, i notice even if you close, still have to really lean/move into them, or they get pushed back just enough to be out of range and spit in time

[tiny blade]

they can also spit instantly as they come out of the jar

not much you can do about that

[lament pecan]

yeah, thats not cool lol

i think just pre-emptively expecting a spit helps my positioning, cause otherwise im banking that 2nd hit will land* them before spit

[lament pecan]

1 kill

is there anything on editor to cap your soul as bindings?

[tiny blade]

i don't think so

[glass meteor]

set maxMP

[tiny blade]

i don't think that works

[lament pecan]

"maxMP": 33,
"MPCharge": 0,
"MPReserve": 0,
"MPReserveMax": 99,
"soulLimited": false,
"vesselFragments": 0,
"vesselFragmentCollected": true,
"MPReserveCap": 99,
"vesselFragmentMax": true,
"focusMP_amount": 33,

this is normal game values. it's weird that maxMP is at 33 for normal game, because focus MP amount is at 33. Like it seems 33 is the value for one heal/spell, yet max mp is only at 33?

[lament pecan]

so collector ended up beind not bad in the run, only took 3 hits. Practicing with ascended health really makes the p5 fight seem not so bad. Then wiped at markoth cause i got careless and wasted lifeblood/health as start trying to get tons of pogo dmg in Phase 1.

I think markoth and then absrad will be my new walls for all-bind p5

[novel bronze]

Zote is way worst than Markoth

I feel like he'll be your next roadblock

[versed needle]

free

[lament pecan]

Zote im pretty consistent with, had a lot more practice with him from golden statue

markoth is just annoying because i get impatient, and most the fight is waiting for shield spin to dash slash for phase 2

[novel bronze]

I've done him rad multiple times before dying to him 3 times in a row in all bound p5

He is garbage

[lament pecan]

haha, this allbinding p5 is so much time, why don't i value my life 😦

[novel bronze]

I've stopped doing all bound p5 for now and instead I'm doing all rads charmless nail only

[coral zenith]

This is. modding help

[lament pecan]

do you know how to cap your soul in the save editor?

[tawny carbon]

banned for off topic

[thick nest]

Markoth is worse than Zote

I can actually heal myself in Zote phase, I pray not to die with Markoth...

When I die against Zote it's because Markoth reduced me to 2 masks and no soul left

[sonic depot]

this is modding help...

[tawny carbon]

@thick nest @novel bronze @lament pecan go to #hk-discussion

[crystal sage]

where on a mac do I put custom knight sprites?

[pseudo cape]

;mac

hmmm

;linux

wtf zote is dead

hold on

[crystal sage]

lol np

[pseudo cape]

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.

i think gradow mentioned something about not needing to do thr arch32 thing

@runic oriole idongedid

[crystal sage]

what

no i know how to run mods on mac, I can't find the folder to put the sprite sheets in for custom knight

[pseudo cape]

oh i guess i misread what you needed

um

hold on

you installed hk from steam yes?

[crystal sage]

yes

[pseudo cape]

im not sure how mac's directories work but this is the customknight directory for windows

[crystal sage]

when i go into the hollow knight steam folder it just shows the game, no folders 😦

[pseudo cape]

can you send an image

and an image of the mac directory too

also probably people didnt help cause they were busy

[crystal sage]

sorry i was doing something hold on

so i go to the steam folder and then go into like steam apps

then common and hollow knight

then it just shows the game

[real jacinth]

Mac File Paths
Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/

[crystal sage]

it just makes the mac error noise and sends me to steam folder

you know what ill figure this out later maybe i guess

[real jacinth]

to go game files

go in there further

[crystal sage]

i did

[real jacinth]

until you get to actual files

[crystal sage]

im in the hollow knight folder, no files

just the game

is there somewhere else to find the game files

[real jacinth]

in the game

[crystal sage]

what?

[real jacinth]

"the game" is not 1 file

it's a shit ton of files

[crystal sage]

you dont understand i dont think

right in the folder, when i double click the game it just opens the game

[real jacinth]

have you right clicked that and revealed contents?

[crystal sage]

oh

🤦

[real jacinth]

fucking amazing

[crystal sage]

whatever its not like i'm a computer expert

xD

[crystal sage]

yeah yeah i get it

[real jacinth]

thank you for this wonderful new copy pasta

[crystal sage]

modding channel is bullies

[real jacinth]

right, cuz I'm the one that pointed fingers first

[crystal sage]

i didn't mean it in a bad way i thought you thought it was a folder

lol

[real jacinth]

it IS a folder

[crystal sage]

i mean i guess

[real jacinth]

bundled as an application

cuz macOS

[crystal sage]

i just don't know shit about computers i guess

Thank you for help though

[crystal sage]

idk why but custom knight isn't workin

[coral zenith]

did you replace sprites

[crystal sage]

yeah it just wont change my guy, Im gonna try to uninstall and reinstall the mod

yep didn't work again

[tawny carbon]

Did you dleted some dilws

Filrs

Files

[crystal sage]

i replaced the files in the custom knight with the sprites i want to use

i didn't delete anything

[tawny carbon]

I mean all of the sprites are in place right ?

Knigjt wraiths . Etc..

[crystal sage]

i think yeah

[tawny carbon]

Check

[crystal sage]

they are in the right order

[tawny carbon]

Hmmm

[crystal sage]

this is so weird its like the files are in the right place, mod is enabled, and the knight still looks normal

[tawny carbon]

Are you sure you replaced

Check

[crystal sage]

yes i did

[real jacinth]

did you close the game and re-open

[crystal sage]

yes

[real jacinth]

what's top left of title screen

[tawny carbon]

I mean inspect the png files

[real jacinth]

what files are in the custom knight folder

[tawny carbon]

Send location

[crystal sage]

alright

[real jacinth]

saying "wow it no work" over and over gives us no information to actually help

[tawny carbon]

Wow it no work

[tawny carbon]

Location

[tawny carbon]

Aahhh full location

I know its there

[crystal sage]

y know what i need to go anyway so

[tawny carbon]

Use /

[real jacinth]

lol. imagine wanting help and then not sending the full screen shots

[tawny carbon]

Mick i need help too

[real jacinth]

I'm not a therapist

[tawny carbon]

When i use grimm knight

Its not red enough

Fix it

[real jacinth]

u

[tawny carbon]

And its shows up only for me

[crystal sage]

Bro stop

I didn’t know you wanted every single folder and name and screenshot

[tawny carbon]

Just send the full screen

Or smthng

[real jacinth]

wtf are we going to do with a picture of a png

that tells us nothing about where it is

the only thing we can even deduce from that screenshot is that you're trying to install the zote one

that's it

[crystal sage]

It tells you it’s in the custom knight folder

[tawny carbon]

We already know that

[real jacinth]

I can make a customknight folder anywhere

and post the same screenshot

what you posted tells us literally nothing

other than you have a folder named customknight

somewhere

[tawny carbon]

(And using zote )

[real jacinth]

but the zote files also could be anywhere

cuz they're not in the same screenshot

[crystal sage]

I went to common, hollow knight, and then right clicked and revealed the contents and when all the way through to custom knight

[real jacinth]

screenshots dude

[tawny carbon]

Location with /

Just show the whole file manager

[crystal sage]

I can’t right now I’m about to go somewhere how about I dm you for help later

Sorry not trying to be annoying

[tawny carbon]

Np

Write here when you comeback

[crystal sage]

But I am anyway because I’m dumb at this lmao

[crystal sage]

alright sugar/mick there is gonna be a flood of screenshots hold on

there we go thats my path

@real jacinth

[real jacinth]

still waiting for title screen

[crystal sage]

?

oh

here

[real jacinth]

and the place you have the Zote sheets now, there was stuff there before?

[crystal sage]

yes, normal knight sprites

[real jacinth]

and what does it look like when you're in game

[crystal sage]

the knight just looks regular

like default knight

idk it doesn't seem like much is wrong, do i delete the sheets that arent the zote sheets?

probably not actually lol

[real jacinth]

and you just opened the save file now?

screenshot

also, screenshot your mod options

in options

[crystal sage]

ok screenshot mod potions and then screenshot what?

save file?

[real jacinth]

in game

anywhere

[crystal sage]

ok

[real jacinth]

@versed needle CK doesn't look somewhere else on mac does it?

[crystal sage]

idk

i should t u r n i t o n a n d o f f

this is really bamboozling

[versed needle]

Someone else said it has to be somewhere other than mods folder a while ago

Because Unity is inconsistent

It's at dataPath/Managed/Mods/

Wherever that is on mac

[crystal sage]

.

[versed needle]

.

[crystal sage]

wait a minute

i think i found another custom knight folder

maybe if i put them there

idk god damnit

so my first path is /hollow_knight/hollow_knight_data/managed/mods/CustomKnight, didn't work

and my second path is hollow knight/contents/managed/mods/CustomKnight, didnt work

i just wish modding was more common in hollow knight so people could actually figure out tf is wrong with my hollow knight

[real jacinth]

what's wrong with your hollow knight is it's on Mac,

and mac does weird shit

like pull assets from other locations

[versed needle]

Unfortunate

@glass meteor do you know what the path is for mac?

[glass meteor]

@crystal sage Application.dataPath on mac is Mac player: <path to player app bundle>/Contents

[glass meteor]

Same

But no it's definitely the stupid fucking mods which are completely unsupported

[coral zenith]

Big pensive

[tiny blade]

joseph is so toxic

modding is a channel of bullies 😔

[versed needle]

:pes

[tawny carbon]

you dont understand i dont think

[crystal sage]

thanks

[novel bronze]

Yeah so I cant play the game when i use the modding API for windows, the game wont load any of my old saves and I cant create new ones but it works when Im not using it, any ideas on how to fix this cause I wont be able to use mods other wise

[real jacinth]

;i

use the installer

be on current patch

[novel bronze]

installer?

[real jacinth]

https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe

[novel bronze]

oh oof

wow this is useful

thanks

Small problem, my saves still arent there

So any ideas on how to fix that?

Wait fixed it

[novel bronze]

The custom knight mod isnt working

[real jacinth]

did you add sprites

[novel bronze]

yep

[crystal sage]

people seem to have issues with custom knight including me, i wonder if its broken rn

[real jacinth]

are you on Mac, marsh?

I love you assume the mod is broken

I used it yesterday

but sure

it's broken

and not user error

[crystal sage]

Why do you have to be so hostile? I'm just commenting people have had issues with it lately smh

[real jacinth]

and they're having problems installing the mod correctly

very different from "well it doesn't work for me, so it must be broken"

[crystal sage]

Well I'm sorry i don't know everything

[real jacinth]

and that's fine, nobody said you have to, but jumping to conclusions and saying the mod isn't working and must be shit is pretty obtuse

[crystal sage]

and maybe you could explain in english how to do stuff and then i wouldn't come in here and waste everyones time

[real jacinth]

and a little disrespectful to the modders

[crystal sage]

not really, mods have bugs

[real jacinth]

they can, yes. but to assume immediately that a mod is broken, even though it hasn't been changed in months, and there's no new game patch, is frankly pretty ignorant

[crystal sage]

sigh

i dont assume immediately, I assume after sugar and i have spent like 2 and a half hours in total trying to find a solution to make my mod work

[real jacinth]

which you were given the solution yesterday, b/c mac things

but we've had a number of people using the mod successfully, probably into the hundreds now, without issue. the mod barely even does anything, so there's really not much to even go wrong

[crystal sage]

I was not given the solution, none of the solutions have worked

ive tried a lot of things

[real jacinth]

sean gave it to you

[crystal sage]

no.....

[crystal sage]

#1: i dont know where that is #2: i found a similar sounding path to the one he said, but it didnt work

ive tried all the paths people have given and they don't work

[real jacinth]

in the world of computers, similiar is NOT the same

[crystal sage]

there is no datapath/managed/mods though

i just don't understand why their isnt like a pinned tutorial for this

that works

like has anyone else in the world experienced these problems

[glass meteor]

make it

Real large think

Other people have used custom knight on mac and I've given them the same path

And I literally said where dataPath is wtf

[real jacinth]

nah dude. mod must be broken

[glass meteor]

maggotPrime

[crystal sage]

what does any of that mean though please help me

im sorry just please

i didnt see a datapath folder

i just want this to work

[crystal sage]

?

what

[crystal sage]

make it where?

in contents?

I made a CustomKnight folder in contents, didnt work

none of this works, i literally just made /dataPath/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight and put the zote sprites in there, and boom still doesn't work

sigh

[glass meteor]

what

are you ok

[crystal sage]

what do you mean

[glass meteor]

why are you making a folder named dataPath

you are making me question my existence

[crystal sage]

thats literally what you just told me to do lmao

[glass meteor]

[crystal sage]

i said "there is no datapath/managed/mods"

and you said make it

so i made it

[glass meteor]

sjsoqkwksnsē

[crystal sage]

just why can't anyone straight up tell me what to do

lol

[glass meteor]

It's almost like dataPath is a variable pointing to Hollow Knight.app/Contents

Just like the unity docs say

[crystal sage]

english?

I don't understand that

[glass meteor]

Portuguese?

[crystal sage]

lol

Just pleeease explain

just tell me what to do im so confused

i dont understand computer language and terms

[glass meteor]

mkdir Hollow Knight.app/Contents/Managed/Mods/whateverthecustomknightfolderiscalled

[crystal sage]

mkdir?

[glass meteor]

make directory

[crystal sage]

so i type this in terminal

[glass meteor]

no

I just didn't want to type

But now I'm typing more anyways

Unfortunate
