Awesome, thanks!
How do i manually install mods? I tried 'Mod Manager' but that just pulled up System32 so i went to the mods folder and put the mod in but nothing is working ;-;
When you download a mod from the drive, it comes in a zip folder. Select manually install mods, then select the zip folder
Oh
I see
I thought it was making me put the file in some folder not like select the file and it be downloading it
'Hollow Knight.RandomizerMod-master.zip successfully installed'
but when i run it, it doesn't show up
;-;
well did you install the right version
lel
lel
if you're using the installer, why not just use the installer
Randomizer not the EnemyRandomizer ;-;-;;-r=a-erakerjaera
what
There's Randomizer 3
and randomizer 2
and chaos mod
Weird it doesn't say it on mine ;-;
oijawoeiaimconfusionsoilvea
smashing your words together does not make them easier to read
That’snottrue
Zaliant add Randomizer 3 to mod summaries
It won't make a difference because no one will read it, but I want to be able to point to pins and end conversations quickly

I will when I get up. Do you want me to keep the summary that I have for 2 for it?
And then re-do 2 to be items
Hmmm, maybe just mention that it is the older version of the randomizer / all of its features are in the new version
A few people have mistaken that rando 3 is only room rando, for example
Thanks though!
Good night Zaliant 
is there a command or something to show fps in hollow knight?
are you on steam
actually what does this have to do with modding
do you mean for like
debug mod
No, im doing a dual monitor setup, and im convinced one of them lowers the fps, but i need a meter to make sure.
I figured modders might know that info.
steam has an fps counter
yep, on one monitor i get 488 fps and on the other i get 244 :/
whats more interesting is that i noticed it
the game seems to hitch and slow down without the fps being effected :/
What would cause my game to not be able to save anymore? Im using benchwarp and randomizer 3, and at a certain point I cant save at new benches anymore, they also do not appear in bench warp.
If you would soft lock at a bench, it doesn't save you there
With randomizer
Probably a good idea to detect benchwarp and disable that feature, though
I see
benchwarp doesn't save on warp anyways i think
I jumped down into ancient basin and amde it to the tram, I dont have mantis claw, is that why it wont save in the tram or any of the trammable locations?
I do have trampas
If so, thats cool lol
but does that mean geo etc doesnt save either?
Nah you're good there
thats a neat failsafe though, cool
There was a weird case in the hive where a guy couldn't save
That might be an actual thing if homothety didn't add those benches
@elfin jasper maybe (sorry)
I added the tram, Deepnest Hot Spring, and Oro benches, iirc

@safe canopy
uhhh
is there a mod installer for mac too?
or a way to install mods in general
oh i just saw it
nevermind
<@&328354344313421825> what exactly should i do with the installer
when i run it it opens smth called mono that does nothing and i dont know where i should put the thing itself
?mac
Mac
Yes, mods can be installed on a Mac:
You can use the installer - https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe
To run the installer:
- Open the Terminal
- Type
cd $(dirname- Drag the exe onto the Terminal
- Type
)then hit Return/Enter- Type
mono --arch=32(Note the space at the end)- Drag the exe onto the Terminal and then hit Return/Enter
If this fails with
bash: mono: command not foundthen:
- Install mono here - https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-mac
- Open a new Terminal window
- Type/Paste in
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}and hit Return/Enter- Repeat steps 2-6 above.
alright lemme try
uhh what
(oh woops my bad)
56 made a standalone app for mac now
yeah
okay then i will wait
?mac is basically what the .app does except it does everything for you
yeah
nvm
Yeah I just copied everything from Zote
If anything's outdated or needs updating; im more than happy to make new commands or edit existing ones or whatever
yes please update that 😃
has anyone encountered windows defender popping up while running the intaller for the first time,
my antivirus is also triggering when i try to run it
yes
i'm kinda worried about it
As long as you get it from the link here, you will be fine
win defender is just saying "this isn't a program from a large corporation that I recognize"
win defender is more a virus than the installer is
win defender: they haven't paid us money so it must be a virus
antivirus software: We can't actually do much to prevent viruses, be we will slow down your PC anyways
antivirus software: i am the virus

Second pin @waxen cradle
yeyeye
but i get
-bash: dirname/Users/manueldutari/Downloads/ModInstaller.exe: No such file or directory
did you extract the zip file
i get an exe not a zip
second pin is a zip
thanks
hey, ive tried the installer but well, long story short, the installer thinks the game is in the wrong directory so it doesnt install it
i know i can download the mods directly but is there any way to fix this?
are you on windows?
Tell it where your game is
It asks twice
If it's in neither of those standard locations, then it asks you to point it to the game
Weeeell, I actually had the game cracked and I didn't know it wasn't possible to use the installer on it, so I put the location of my version of the game (which wasn't at the Steam directory, obviously) but now that I finally bought the game I cant set it back
whatever, i just want to play the randomizer
you can probably reset the location
I believe that you have to delete the settings of the modinstaller to do that. Those are found in %Appdata% iirc
Then it will automatically detect the correct path the next time you use the installer
that's what I wanted, thanks
how would one go about accessing sprite sheets in the game. i've tried looking through the files but couldn't find anything directly able to be edited. i am using custom knight already which is a big help, but there are more things i would like to edit besides just the knight
?assets
Assets
Assets can be found pinned here - https://discordapp.com/channels/283467363729408000/301227786658381825/425062958058569738
You can get Asset Studio to get assets from the game files here - https://github.com/Perfare/UnityStudio/releases
You can get UABE to directly edit assets here (but using a API mod is better) - https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?22675-Unity-Assets-Bundle-Extractor
i suppose the standalone app is yet to come out
hope the work comes lightly
because thats some stuff not many bother to do
so, if i were to export files using the asset studio, edit them, and then load them back, this would work?
also if you do that I will stab you in your sleep
good
smh modding it is like a thousand times easier and it lets other people use it too
okay except i do not know how to do this, i only know how to skribble
so, the extractor. do i need unity in order for it to run correctly? I've downloaded and extracted it properly, but trying to run the .exe just results in an error
ah, i've found i do

How would i go about modding hollow knight, what i mean is making mods for the game is there any resources or tools or anything useful?
Lol
there's a command but i don't know what it is
Look at the pins of #archived-modding-development
There's a link to API docs
And dnSpy
those are pretty good starting points
Thanks
Are there any mods that decrese the lag that the game has?
Turning off vsync
How does one do that?
Video settings in-game
That's not an option I have on the Linux version
I lowered the resolution, and that seems to have helped
Go down to like 480p
Hi, i hve a question, if i whant to install a new mod, does it work on an existing file or i must make a new game save?
depends which mod you installed
almost all of them work on existing files
it might not be the intended way to play though
Usually not a good idea to open existing saves with mods installed unless you don't care about it
All depends on the mod
The connected area randomizer is really cool.
both QoL and gamepaly mod
its just because i whant to test some of them before starting a new game
What's "gamepaly mod"
the red "fncional changes"

im not gettings Debug mod to work on 1.2.2.1
what version of debug mod are you using
does it matter?
p sure that since the mod's been getting updated to work on newer versions of the game, said newer versions of the mod might also not work on older versions of the game
yeah
you said it works no?
it does work
I ran the mac mod installer and it's just sitting in my dock and my fans are spinning up and I'm scared
Oh ok it just takes a while
describe the issue
Did you check file path?
can you actually say your issue
When I open it it says Unable to download mod list and if I click retry it bring s me too a window where my only option is manual, but it doesnt work
when did you download the installer
3 weeks ago
redownload it in incognito
I tried re downloading it but didnt help
maybe I've got the wrong thing, the installer is called ModInstaller2
oh, Icognito, will try
Is there any way to start a normal game with randomizer 3 installed?
But there isn't normal game in Randomizer 3 though
Itried downloading in incognito, still didnt help
nvm
the custom knight mod comes with a bunch of presets, Is there anyway to view these, any website to check them out, or anyway to see them before modding them
Hello, i'm new hero, there's anything that i can do to fix it?
where'd you get the installer
From Mod DB
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Isn't normal game one of the mode options in rando 3
no
oh yeah
@glass meteor Okay, what now?
what in fuck
What'd you do when the popups asked where your game is? Is your game a steam version installed on your C drive?

I'm also having problems trying to install Literally Anything? I used the ModInstaller and when it got to "find your installer path" I couldn't because I have it on Games Pass and Microsoft has it saved in a hidden folder (which I can't call from the drop down), and now I'm trying to manually install the API it seems to be getting stuck because Windows knows the Hollow Knight Data file I'm trying to save over is bigger than the original file and is like "aha, cheating! banned!"
has anyone successfully modded with Games Pass/Windows Store or is it just. cursed?
Not possible
not possible to mod?
Not with Windows store version
I mean
Not possible without annoying amounts of effort
You have to mount the disk from another operating system
I was down for "annoying amounts of effort" until the next thing you said
holy shit
That version has crazy permissions on it
So best bet is to just buy it on steam
ok so i'm using a combination of redwing and enemy hp bars, and i killed the vengefly king with redwing's focus attack, right as he roared at me to start the fight
now i can't move
even zote can't help me
aight then
i had a similar problem with the false knight, i just wanted to let you folks know
for good reason actually, seems that softlock was the least of the bugs
i have no idea why, but i can occasionally just pass straight through the acid in most places
i used it to sequence break into fog canyon, even though i don't have the shade cloak or isma's tear
Anyone have a link to the HP bar mod?
I just downloaded and installed the mod manager from the bot link. I opened it and all I can see is the "manually" button
Download it again in incognito mode
ok
So when I click revert back to unmodded it says it can't locate vanilla hollow knight, is there something wrong here? My game also keeps crashing before the main menu with the randomizer mod
Do you have the modapi and the seanpr core?
Ah, I dont use the modinstaller (its never worked for me) so I install everything manually. The mods folder should have 3 .dlls in it though.
hm i'll try manually installing things and see if that works, thanks
Its not hard, you just drag and drop folders into your hollow knight folder
@blissful ore unplug controller
Plug it in after game fully loads
To unmod, just verify game files with steam
I keep trying to add the mod installer but it keeps telling me "Please purchase the game before attempting to play it" and linking me to the steam page, but I already bought the game on steam
Open the game
just tried that. I just bought the game though so do I have to start a file?
Also if this is your first playthrough don't even try out mods, even mods like enemy hp bar mods
Its not my first play through I played a copy another a friends computer and beat the game, I just bought it because I want to suppor the devs
Oh well then you should really start a save file ye
@floral brook Have you tried to open the installed before purchasing the game?
Edit your save
What are you playing on
pc
Then use QoL mod
Decrypt the save
Or use a save editor.
There's one online
What were you doing when you got the 4th piece
You sure you picked up 4
And did you let the animation finish
yes
Have you tried quitting and going back in?
yes
No crashes happened since then
Have you gone back to the last mask place you were to see if it's there
i wasn't really looking at hp bar
noticed only on a bench
last piece i picked was in waterways
The animation has the piece go up to your hp bar. Hard not to to notice that
The full mask I mean
should i edit json or dat?
Dat
online 
Key info
go to your save and sit at the bench
what i should change?
this modinstaller thing is frustrating it keeps saying please purchse the game before attempting to play it. Is there a way for me to force the application to detect my Steam copy of hollow knight?
@glass meteor Yes I did
I guess that affected it somehow? How do i fix it
go to %appdata%\..\Local and delete the folder ModInstaller
@midnight crystal health to 6, maxHealth to 6, maxHealthBase to 6
thank you
that fixed it! thanks so much
hey I downloaded the enemy randomizer and its just not working, I'm going through kings pass and its just not working
nvm
Is there any way to make it so the nail does 0 damage to enemies, but still gains soul? iirc making the nail do 0 damage isnt possible/makes you draw 0 soul. Has that changed at all?
no
I’m trying to use the randomiser mod on Mac and when I try to start a new game it fades to back and the game crashes
Did you use the installer
Last I checked I wasn't installed in your game
i wish i could install seanpr
I wish acrid would stop sleeping at complete degen hours so I could stream
Some things just aren't realistic, unfortunately
is it possible to not have the debug menu up while playing and only have it in the pause menu
Yeah you press the toggle key whenever you pause/unpause
whats the toggle key
F1 default
ty ❤
I downloaded a few mods,
1 of which opened up this menu thing where I can spend geo to boost my stats?
bonfire mod
i turned it on but
its not there and yes i rebooted my game
nbm
i didnt check Settings before asking
hm
does it make enemies stronger?
fair enough
ok so i was once again playing with redwing, and i decided to heal up before fighting the soul master. for some strange reason, the fire pillar auto targeted his second phase and killed it before i could even start the fight
it even played the victory jingle, on top of his first phase intro
when i defeated the first phase, he broke through the floor and then dissapeared, and the spell was already down there
idk if it's a glitch or what, i just wanted to let you folks know
Do the mods have log files somewhere? It would probably help me figure out why Randomiser 3 crashes the game

With randomizer 3.0+Benchwarp, is it normal that I cannot warp back to the city bench or waterways bench after sitting on them? (It's still red in Benchwarp)
Well, you can always go to settings and do unlock all and teleport to them
Those benches do not save you in randomizer by default because they are softlock locations
if you don't have claw
so yes, that is normal

how do I get custom knights?
pins
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
There’s a wide variety of them
What are some popular ones
it changes the way that your attacks function
makes you shoot out lances instead of doing normal slashes
and you regen soul slowly instead of getting it on hits
and it also changes a bunch of charms to be cooler
like, theres a charm that turns picked up geo into soul
I'm playing Lightbringer. Basically, it makes you a mid-range Megaman X 😛
how do I use the custom knight mod?
Pins

damn
where can i find debug mod
would anyone have an idea why a save deletes itself on game startup? it seems like one of my slots has this issue and I can't fix it / figure out what happened to make it this way
Steam cloud saves
it's the slot I basically used for any% practice etc on the other version
so steam is persistently saying that that slot should be empty?
I can't seem to get it to stop doing that
Yeah, I've had problems with it in the past
Usually disable it since I'm on one pc anyway
any idea how I can get it to work normally?
Not sure

ok I figured it out ty
maybe if my mod would be like a buyer
hey guys i was wondering if someone could help me with the mod installer quick because i dont know how to make it verify the location of my game, thanks
it hasnt done it automatically
Where's your game
i took a closer look apparently it cant be run in dos mode (im on mac) - does it work on iOS or only windows?
Second pinned message
where sorry?
I am new to this modding thing, is there a mod in specific you'd reccomend? (I have already 112% the game)
sorry to bother you guys again but ive installed everything and 'mono' to open the mods itself but the application doesnt respond
modinstaller
Dammit dyno
How do I know what each mod adds in the installer?
When u install a mod but ur game disagrees
I feel ignored to many levels
how to uninstall modinstaller?
Verify your game integrity
thanks
what should i put as the installation path
Where's your game
ones on my desktop the other is a copy in a folder
So what's the problem
the mod loader say it cant find hollow knight installation folder
when it runs, it asks you for common steam install locations
if its not there, say no
then it'll ask you to tell it where it is
To reset the mod installer,
Windows Installer 1
Go to %appdata%\..\Local and delete the folder ModInstaller Then run the installer again.
Windows Installer 2 or SCARAB
Go to %APPDATA% and delete HKInstallerSettings.json Then run the installer again.
Windows Automated
Download and run (Works for both installers): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/842427721065955348/ModInstaller_Reset.bat

~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json
ok my computers a mess ill just go download hollow knight to my laptop
im a bit confused as to how to do the custom knight mod i looked at the attatched pin for mac and got a bit lost
dont i have to make a file to put them in and then in contents?
desktop
Looking to remove some particle textures using UABE. If I remove them, would the game still load or would I have to replace them instead?
you probably have to replace them with a transparent copy
replace them with transparent
Will do that then. I'm assuming it can just be a PNG? If so, can it be any width/height?
Find the file, erase the stuff on it, load it back in
Cool
it might be mixed in with other things
What do you mean?
it will probably be a spritesheet of multiple different stuff from deepnest so you'll have to just erase the stuff you dont want
Ah okay. Well things like the spiders there are 4 variations of it in one file, but I think I did come across a spritesheet full of images
Will check anyway
okie hf 😉
I don't know if this has already been addressed before, but is there any modding support for the Linux port?
mono ModInstaller.exe
Oh really? that simple?
yes
Hell yeah! Let me try it out.
How magical! Thank you for the info.
Is there commonly an issue with controller functionality when you install the mod api?
pin
Oh, thank you! I should have checked that first.
So what did you do to generate the Assembly-CSharp.dll that fixed the controller issue?
He probably modified the modding api and recompiled it
The source code is on GitHub
"How did you fix it?"
"He probably made some changes"
FeelsPepoMan
Odd wording yeah
I must have downloaded an outdated version of modinstaller then. I got it off of moddb.
I think gradow said he updated moddb

ModInstaller Questions
- My ModInstaller gives me the error "Unable to download mod list."
+ Delete ModInstaller and download it from the link above. This error occurs in an old version of ModInstaller which was broken by an update.
- My ModInstaller can't find Hollow Knight.
+ The first time you launch ModInstaller, it will prompt you to set the filepath if it can't find the game. If you skipped past the prompt before, you can reset the ModInstaller's settings by deleting the "ModInstaller" folder at %appdata%\..\Local
- How can I remove all mods from my computer?
+ ModInstaller allows you to uninstall mods and remove the Modding API, if originally installed with ModInstaller. Alternatively, you can restore the original game by choosing to Verify Integrity of Game Files in Steam. Once finished, you can simply delete ModInstaller, as it is only an executable.
- I'm trying to install mods on a patch other than 1.4.3.2
+ ModInstaller only supports current patch Hollow Knight. Read the guide for manually installing mods instead.
- I'm using a different program like Crossroads, and I can't find the mod I'm looking for.
+ The only consistently up-to-date and supported mod installer is the one linked above.
- I bought the game on Windows Store and want to play with mods.
+ Unfortunately, the Windows Store has impossibly restricted file permissions to allow modding. Either buy the game on Steam/GoG, or dual boot with linux.
- Can I install mods on Switch/Xbox/PS?
+ No.
- I pirated the game and want to play with mods.
+ Buy the game. Don't waste everyone else's time by lying or complaining that ModInstaller doesn't work.

What guide does it mean in the pins for installing mods below 1.4.3.2?
it says i have to have the game up to date
Weird bug with benchport, went to basin toll, sat, didn't add the bench. It'd done that a few times before so I wasn't surprised, just went out and sat again, for some reason couldn't get it to activate, decided to die in basin so I'd go to bench... ended up back in pleasure house instead of basin toll bench :/
Is that known or just me?
benches 1.4
oh
that makes sense, also explains why quirrel bench didn't save when I swam through the acid without claw
thanks
can someone help me with the "debug menu mod" for speedrunning in patch 1.2.2.1?
Is there anything useful for making mods for hollowknight? such as mapping and explaining how to make a mod?

no as in no copyright problem
yes

I'm new to modding. Still learning how to do it and testing
@crystal bay is there a list with the mods and their creators? That would make crediting a mod creator a lot easier

Ouch
@pseudo compass any modcommon
Are you tabbing out
Are you alt-tabbing or switching out of the game while it loads in any way shape or form
don't
unfortunate
¿
for the customknights mod, is the "full orb" sprite required?
My guess is yes but I want to make sure
I'm noticing a lot of the sprite sheets are lacking that one in particular and it's making me wonder why
Yes, it's required. If a sprite sheet doesn't have it, that means it isn't supposed to be changed
The randomiser for me always seems to fail to load properly the first time I load a save after launching the game, and now I've forgotten about this, picked up an item on first load (the godtuner) and upon reloading the save I'm trapped in a black void
Oh, and the black void is preventing me from opening the menu or my inventory
are you using the installer, what patch are you playing on, which version of randomizer are you using, are you using any other mods.
please provide more information for us to better help you
They're on mac, I believe
Actually I never got it working there
This is windows
I am using the installer, it's randomizer 3, and I'm also using the enemyrandomiser but the black void appears whether I load that or not
By "fails to load properly" I mean that room exits lead where they're supposed to (even though I'm using the connected-area room mode), random impassible black rectangles appear in some places, and apparently items fail to randomise too
...and picking an item up sends you into the void
Hmmm. Those mods probably aren't fully compatible, and enemy randomizer is also a buggy mess
Here is a guide for the most common problems people have:
Mod Support
If your problem is not listed below, help us help you by doing the following:
- Give details about your problem, your operating system, and where you bought Hollow Knight
- Post a screenshot of your title screen including the entire upper left corner.
- Post the ModLog and the output_log files found at the save file directory, i.e. \%APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ for Windows
- I am trying to play RANDOMIZER 2 or RANDOMIZER 3, and I get the error "FAILED TO LOAD"
+ Install SereCore using ModInstaller, or off of the Google Drive. This is a library dependency for these mods.
- I am trying to play RANDOMIZER 3, and the game fails to load into King's Pass properly.
+ Check that QoL and Vasi are installed. These are required for randomizer to function properly.
- I am trying to use DEBUGMOD, but I hid the menu and now I can't find it.
+ The default bind to show the menu is F1. Change binds by clicking the white dot next to each command in the "Binds" menu, and then pressing the new key. Reset all binds by deleting "DebugMod.GlobalSettings" in the save file directory.
- I am trying to play any mod, and MY CONTROLLER doesn't work.
+ This is a known issue with the Modding API. The most consistent way to fix this is to unplug the controller before starting the game, and plug it in at the title screen.
i'd add "posting a screenshot of your title screen" to that
I suspect I've just bricked the save file
Yep, still in the void even with the mods turned off
...Ok, is there any way to restore a save? These .bak files would do that, right?
do the ` meme with the file path it eats the backslash
???
to homothety
Oh I thought you were talking in the wrong channel
I am out of characters, this is a disaster
There are no more issues, modding is fixed
hooray
no fixed file path 😡
delet
I really like unstacking pins everytime I need to add something new and less important. Very fun, Discord 😄
If people have ideas for mod support 2, let me know, and I'll put it together later
you could add all that to a doc to make it look less gross in pins, up to you
Anyways, if it becomes an issue, I can just link the messages instead of having them blocking space
we need an emote that says read the pins 😤
Anyone have the LevelXXX file to the hornet cut room? I know the assets exist, but the room is almost complete as is.
hey guys how do i get to page 2 of my save files with the more saves mod?

The Mod installer makes things really easy props to whoever worked on that really convinient
uh ok
Guys how do you change the speed value in sanic mod?
globalsettings in your saves folder
idk how to find it :p
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** 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/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
idk but I can't seem to find it
wdym
same thing with saves
ss of saves
hey, i'm on mac and i just opened the application file enclosed in the .zip download but it just opened a shortcut called mono32 which does nothing
aaand nvm something else opened
asked me to download something
and it said api install complete
nvm it works now thanks anyways
So installed the mod manager but I can't find it again, is it with the Hollow knight local files (I have the steam version of the game and my system OS is Windows 10)
yea, when the mod installer is finished it brings up a page called mod manager that allows you to pick and choose which mods you want to install
okay hold on lemme check
or the last folder you had saved things at or smth
the only thing in my downloads is the modinstaller, that might just open up the menu or it could try to install itself again
I'm not sure
you can use that to see where it was last saved ig
wait, nope it recognizes that it's already installed and opened up the menu
I'll just rename it and put it in a more convenient spot
thanks for the help
if i were to edit an enemy say primal aspid
and give it a sans eye
how would i test it in game
yes
that'd be more fitting for #archived-modding-development
its just a test
Do I launch the mod installer before or after opening the game?
before
Either. But they won't be effective until the next time you start the game if you open it while the game is open
^
For some reason I am getting 1shot by regular enemies. The mods I have installed shouldn't affect the damage I take...
would probably help if you listed the mods you have installed
Bench warp, charm overhaul, Elderbug god, fragile strenght for nail arts, more saves and the unoficial patch
Hi, I tried using a sprite for the knight but for some reason it doesn't affect anything: game is located in E drive, installed ModInstaller, copied the folder with the sprites in \Managed\Mods\CustomKnight
When I open the game I see the mod information on top-left
Oh... missed it. Big thanks
How do i put the Modding API?
I'm new to the stuff
Tried the Github version but it won't build
It needs Unity and other stuff.

@golden seal
I can't
why
There isn't any way around?
did you pirate it
@ripe rampart i have shame to admit it
then no mods for pirated copies sorry sir
I won't stop trying so.

stop trying
well
illegal reasons
"i want to do something." "you can't." "haha no"
@ripe rampart Well i live in Brazil.
yes
Anyway, if i had money i would buy the game
yo-you can do everything if you try hard enough!~
you have internet buddy
One of our modding staff gradow is also from brazil smh
I pay...
Maybe the faq needs a more overtly hostile response?
why not just everyone's time
Homothety, congrats on the chad green role
else's sounds so weird to me
Really goes along with the pfp
i liked blue better tbh
I don't care if they waste their own time 
blue was better for his pfp tbh
chad green role

he got acess to secret modding channel 😤
dw, I'll just get src mod and the color balance will be restored
Hey, so I've just downloaded the mod installer but hollow knight crashes once it loads every time with no error message. I've downloaded the seanpr mod and randomizer 3 mod and am running the latest version of hollow knight
download qol
Without the randomizer it works. I've tried installing it from the mod loader and from the Google doc with all the mods but neither work
hmmm
what
now this is an epic lie
HA
screenshot to your xbox
its weird that you go for 5 mins and comeback saying this
"deflockpad"
It doesn't matter anyways
Having it on your xbox isn't going to help you mod a pirated version on pc
Why did you just ping me?
then this is not the right place to tell
oh for a second i was sad because i missed the piracy convo
Why don't you just stop talking about it then sugar?
what
I won't ask
As i see, if i try to gain something about piracy i will get banned
perhaps
Anyway, yes or no?
to what
re-buy it
Also, you asked me screenshots.
yes
what should i understand from this
what is the purpose of this image
this doesnt prove anything
wtf
this is just an xbox acc
and btw , i wont tell how to bypass modinstaller whatever happens
At this point i'm just trying to win an online argument about buying a game or not.

lets hope that he wont dm me for how to bypass installer like others 
That seems somehow self inflicted
Maybe less spam about how you'd love to help install mods on a pirated copy would also lead to less dms?
Wild thought, I know 
@woeful wadi
There's a summary of every single released mod

Ah alright, thanks.
I'm playing the HK randomizer version 3 (that shuffles everything with the relics as well as the abilities) -- I think I have a seed that can't be completed. Is there somewhere I should report that to?
I got a few weird reacts. Was I not supposed to post that here? Or am I being tolled? Or do you all think I'm a troll?
You got those reacts because many people come here to report incompleteable seeds and we almost always discover they forgot something
Being cagey with information does not help, so go ahead and post your spoiler log
I am on screen RUINS1_05C, and there is no way to get to the exit on top of the screen to get to soul sanctum/elevator area
yes
both
Pogo the lamp 🙄
double jump and the flying enemy are not enough to get off this screen
there is no lamp here
Enter Soul Sanctum on the right
I can't get to the right, all the doors are locked
I have not gone up to unlock them, because there is no way to get up there
I tried four times with the flying enemy, that seems like if iot's the solution it's sketchy
I've put hundreds of hours into this game and I had no idea there was another entrance into soul sanctum





sure
