me too
same
Manual install is great.
also another question for @runic oriole . if i want to play my old save with all stuff done, can i just do it fine? or do i need to remove the bonfire mod, and reinstall it every time?
remove
Common Mod doesn't seem to work for me.
that's where the installer actually comes in handy
there's a nifty disable button
(which just moves the file elsewhere and back)
ah ok, that's nice.. but i guess i will just finish the bonfire playthrough, and after is finished, i will remove it to play normal again. thank you
np!
I need some help, because the stuff I've tried hasn't worked at all.
it seems 56 is ded
Died in a car crash.
he wishes
sorry to bother you again, but what are extra masks? i upped RES because i thought it would have gave me +1 mask, but i still have 5
Hey can anyone explain to me what "mono" means? Every time I try to download the Mod installer for Mac, a window pops up that says "Downloading mono, which is needed to run this app. This can take 2-10 minutes." But it never downloads anything and nothing happens. Can I even mod on mac? Thanks
Oh sweet! How do I do that? I pretty much just want to use different skins to spice it up a little lol
@glass meteor Can you please help me with this. I can't seem to be able to o it for myself.'
Idk anything about your previous error my dude
Except that from a search it seems to be from a bad install of msbuild
It isn't bad. I literally just installed it onto NixOS using nix-env -iA nixos.msbuild just today.
Would you be willing to just compile this for me?
Because I can't get this to work on my own.
I hate that I'm having problems left and right.
I just want to have a system that works. I will do anything to get this working.
switch to windows
I can't do that easily.
okay
@glass meteor Is there some reason why you don't want to just do this for me?
because it's work
and for the past few hours i haven't been home
and before that i went to sleep after coming from home from school because i was tired
Ah. I see. I've tried everything I can to make this work. I guess I'll just accept that it won't ever work
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Did you already try the api the guy who had this exact issue compiled?
no
big thonk 56
it was not
how could you
Oh. It wasn't?
I found some things to try.
@glass meteor I tired that other DLL. That just wound up trading one issue for another. I can now pick up items, but now my controller inputs aren't being recognized.
Diff them and combine them
How?
That is the issue.
Alright. Something screwy is going on here.
@runic oriole Do you know what I should do here?
I see. This is a big giant pain.
I feel like I'm making tiny little steps of progress.
welcome to modmaking
I know.
It would be a lot easier if someone like 56 could just compile the DLL for me.
you do realize he has irl stuff too right
I know.
Hey I’m new here and I am playing the room and item randomized mod. I am now stuck in game and have no way to go without super-dash (which i still have not acquired) . I’m wondering if it’s possible. Did I just miss something? Can the randomization make the game impossible to complete? Any suggestions will be appreciated
I'm fine waiting.
@balmy juniper Use Benchwarp to get to a bench. And then from there, you shouldn't be stuck. You've just missed something.
yeah
also cdash is very much so not needed
there are only a few rooms which require it
Thank you @quiet turret so the randomized game by design can definitely be finished? Good to know that. I have been using bench warp and I’m 85% done but really cannot find the last few rooms missing.
uhh which areas do you have access to and which items do you have
I have all other abilities but not super dash. I have a couple rooms in white palace/path of pain that I can’t do. Some of them seem to need super dash.
Also thank you for your answers!
Also some rooms I’m crystal peak (ones that leads to the elevator to Dirtmouth)
In*
wait, is this room rando or area rando?
Rooms
oh shit
Does anyone know how to install this?
I can't figure out how to install it
Ironic
I think Rylea has a video tutorial on this. I followed his guide . @bronze flicker
Where is the video?
Ok never mind I found it
Thank you
Wait
In the video he just opens the file and it asked to verify game location than opens the window
I don't get that
When I open the file nothing happens
Are you using the installer in the pins of this channel
I was using the one from moddb

It's fine. I used it. It didn't work for me, but it also wasn't a virus.
Except... I'm running on Linux, so I don't think that counts.
Yeah I also just used the one in the pinned message. When it asks you to verify location just click yes.
Jesus
Literally every... single... anti-virus
I have like 10
And literally all of them have either screamed at me not to download the file or not to open it

@glass meteor @runic oriole I managed to get a setup that works. I just told steam to run Hollow Knight with Wine, and then used the Windows Modding API, from Google Drive, as my Assembly-CSharp.DLL.
And it works.
There's no input lag at all. There's not even any framerate issues.
My controller works, and I can pick up all the things.

check the pins @cobalt anvil
@versed needle Hey so I got the mod installer to work and it works great! I tried other mods like unlimited notches and it works fine. The custom knight is not working however. I have all the right png files (Having 8) but I guess Im not doing the file chain right? In game files I am supposedly supposed to create a folder names "content" before I put all of the other files in, but there is already a content folder in there when you first open up the game files. So I just put it in that. Am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sounds like mac
Did you also make the managed, mods, and customknight folders inside of contents?
I'm sorry what
Oh
What error
The installer should detect if you're running gog
I have it on steam and gog and it works fine
about bonfire mod: resilience doesn't give me any extra masks. the hit resistence works fine though. is that a bug @runic oriole ?
@real jacinth I did! Maybe it's the mods folder. I'll show you guys in a second
This is the mods folder. I used the pure vessel skin and filled out the rest.
get rid of hatchling
that's 9
not 8
and show your file path
cuz "in the mods folder" is not very descriptive. it has to be in the exact path the guide gives, inside the contents folder
there's another mods folder in hollow_knight_data, managed, mods
but that's the wrong one to put it in
Okay cool what is the best way to show you that? I'm new to this thing
Will this work? It's up at the top
so that looks good. now show your other mods folder
What other mods folder?
in the app->hollow knight data->managed->mods
Ohh okay hold on
Sorry, Im having a hard time finding it. I go to the Hollow Knight.app but nothing shows up except the contents folder which has everything else in it.
is there a hollow knight data folder in contents?
No there's not. Not that I could find
so.... where's your game? lol
It's here I promise! Haha I think Im just not understanding something. How would you get to that? Because I went to the app, right clicked and hit show package contents, then went into the content files. That's correct right?
No the only folder when you go into the app is the contents folder
and what's inside that
That's what all is inside.
Resources
This is what's in the Resources folder
you have the game on steam right
are you sure you're in the correct game file spot?
none of this looks right
I do. I'm not sure at all. Should I just redownload the game through steam and try again?
no. just go to steam and go into the game properties
there should be an option to show game file location
.....i think
I don't know mac steam
Okay awesome. Should I take the files out of the Hollow Knight.app file?
I finally got it to work! Thank you so much for the help!
tried out modded hk but wasnt for me, how do i completely get rid of the mod installer so that it doesnt display in the top left

So I saw the Hollow Point mod and I want to play it but Mod Installer isn't working. Like, at all.
Looking at the pinned messages, I'd like to clarify my game is a legal copy on steam that I have modded previously.
Hollow Point also isn’t on the Installer afaik
It’s pinned in #archived-modding-development
Yeah but I heard you need mod installer to help install any mod
Nah, I’ve never used it and had no trouble with modding
Assuming Hollow Point is like the others, you should be able to just install the .dll and you’re good to go as long as the modding API is installed too
Well, no it isn't and IDK where to put the DLL files and I just reinstalled the game for this mods so I don't have the API and Modinstaller isn't working so I can't install it through that.

If you’re on Windows then I can’t help you where it should go, I’ve only modded Mac
Uhh...I just looked throught the hollow point folder, there's no dlls???
Hi everyone! I am having trouble installing the "poorly translated" mod, I am trying to manually install it, where do I put the files I get from Google drive?
(The mod installer is also throwing me an error)
Scroll down in pins, there’s a manual install guide with the file paths
Thank ya!
No prob
Are HK mods blacklisted or whitelisted?
what
will they break achievements or not?
if it's blacklisted, it won't track
if it's whitelisted, you're golden
I've tried manually downloading the hollow point mod through the mod installer, but it doesn't work. Can anybody help?
you can't "manually download it" from the installer
you have to have the dll already
I mean I downloaded it from github, and selected manually install mods on the installer
well the github version isnt a dll
where's the dll?
so.......
pinned in #modding-discussion
you downloaded the source code
so you'd have to build it into a dll
okay thanks for your help
or it's pinned in #archived-modding-development rather
How do i make my own sprites for CustomKnight?
wdym
the modinstaller cant find my hollow knight folder location, and it doesnt show up when im manually trying to choose it, what do i do?
Show us your hollow knight folder
how i install the gun mod?
ah
nah pinging taco every 5 minutes is funnier
QoL vs Unofficial patch. What skips the cutscenes...
@runic oriole How do i make my own knight that could be use in-game with CustomKnight?
you change the sprite sheets
That's really all there is to it
hi, may i require some help for the randomizer please ? ^^
What's the problem?
i have some issue to find the dll of the 3.0 of the randomizer mod
I am about to start a randomizer mod run on the live stream every Tuesday at 8:30pm PT. I ran into some issues when installing this mod so I figured I could share how to do this.
This video will show you how to install the Randomizer mod in Hollow knight. That includes both...
i have follow the instruction
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Use that
thank you !
hum, i think i already install this
i have curently intsall : benchwarp, modcommon and SeanprCore
i manage to make the 2.0 randomizer work
but i can't find the dll when the dll when i dowload the file from here https://github.com/homothetyhk/HollowKnight.RandomizerMod
i believe Mapi doesn't recognise the file i dowload but i'm not sure, i'm not really an expert
Don't download from there, use the installer
@real jacinth You're telling me that i have to change every single one of those tiny knights just so i could get a new look?
Yup

how else would this work?
I knew, but i hoped for something less... difficult.
isn't there a file with layers in there
to make it less painful
but if you're going to really edit the sprites, and not just recolor...
then good luck
I'm a bit deterred from attempting, but thanks anyway.
that's all of us buddy
if it were easy, we'd have sonic and mlp sprites at this point tbh

how does modding the game work?

like that
like for the user or like how the modding actually works
sitting on the lower tram made benchwarp stop working for any new bench i find, relaunching the game wont help
I have a variety of mods installed, and everytime I kill an enemy the game lags. Any idea why? It might be the HP bars mod but I'm not sure.
it’s enemy HP bars
Should I just disable that mod or is there a way to fix the lag issue?
disable
I got a simple key with the randomizer and the door to Jiji won't open. Any idea why?
Checking the spoiler log reveals that I'd be stuck if I did that. Nvm.
uhmm question. i've started a run with the following mods enabled:
Benchwarp
CharmOverhaul
EnemyHPBar
MoreSaves
Pale Champion
Player data Tracker
QoL
Randomizer 3(Item, Room)
SeanprCore
And well, the game runs fine, but when i hit an enemy and it dies the game freezes for like 2-5 seconds, also then i get hit it freezes, or when i change maps. Any idea why this could be?
tried to play unmodded as well, this all went fine. no issues whatshowever
Hello, is there a @ that I could use to pock modders on the server? I'd like to make a mod-proposition on the modding-discussion. Without mention, I'm afraid it won't be heard by a lot, considering the amount of messages sent per day in the channel.
there is an @ modding staff you could try.
Yeah, although it would only address to the staff then ^^ I'd like to address all modders, not just the staff, but not everyone you know x)
@proper hatch idk if you solved it but disable EnemyHPBar
Abandon just post it there
I hope this is the right place to ask this. Installed the randomizer mod and yoloed myself into the game expecting to get stuck super fast but luckily it didnt happen... during the first 2 hours... basically got into the city of tears (specifically the area with the nailsmith and the fountain) without the claws and now i can't leave.
post your spoiler log in #modding-discussion
@runic oriole The message will just disappear in a hour, but ok, if you say so.
i'm 🍎
@tawdry dragon I meant, post it in #modding-discussion
oh sorry
Ty @west bane will try. It would be a shame if that’s the problem tho. I do like the mod.
dw, it is the problem lol
^
is it bad enough to remove from installer
probably
Well frick
Guys does anyone know where I can get the latest modinstaller exe
The one I have isn’t working
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
alright, so I can play with mods on my pc all fine and well, but my mac laptop is a different story. I can't run the installer with mono since I'm on the macOS version that decided to delete 32bit support. I saw there was a mac installer, but it didn't work for me. I tried installing the mods manually (including the Modding API), and the game seems to ignore that any of those files exist. If this is a hopeless situation that's fine, but I do want to at least try to see if this could work
The mac installer is just the windows installer with mono
lol
So yeah makes sense that didn't work either
Manual install should be fine, but I don't know the mac file paths off the top of my head

Can you show where you put the stuff?
Also mick that's not what I mean, I assume they already know where their .app is
¯_(ツ)_/¯
you saw what the dude the other day was doing with custom knight
doesn't hurt to be safe
Wrong folder, then
I have no clue why
there are no .dll files in the .app at all
Then yeah that's not right at all
Probably a shortcut
Is this the one at
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
?
yeah
I tried showing hidden folders, seems like there's nothing there at all
@glass meteor would know better, he has a mac
But he was about to start a 4 hour test like 10 minutes ago
So
Good chance he's unavailable
heck
that's how I got to where I'm at right now
hmm
I guess I could try just reinstalling the game
If the game is working fine already I doubt that would help anything
hmm
so if I run the game through the steam client, it works fine
but if I run the .app file directly it doesn't launch
but steam leads me to that .app when I go to the game files
when I verified the integrity of the game files through steam, nothing was removed
weird
ok, here's what I came to through experimenting:
the actual game data won't be in the .app, it'll be in a folder in the same directory
this folder is seemingly "missing" for hollow knight
it seems this happens with all steam games made with unity
Odd
found it!
that is the wrong managed folder
there are two
it's Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/
out of curiosity, does enemy randomizer just naturally take a long time to load
or is it my computer, or is it something else nitpicky like the screen I start up with, or the fact that I have multiple 100%+ loads that aren't modded still active
or does it legitimately just take like 3 minutes every time lol
rip ok
lol
is it also a known issue where the enemy randomizer settings will get stuck overlaying the other settings when you try to back out of it

that'
that's why I ask, because I've messed with the settings a few times, and it's always required a restart of my game, where I have to wait for multiple minutes to restart due to the load time and the ui messing up
I cant even select the quit button I have to entirely alt f4 aa
definitely does not work even if I click back manually
lol
same thing persists, I guess I can just not mess with the settings any more, or mess with whatever I need to before I load the randomizer
I don't doubt it 
Does anyone know how to download hollow point mod?
Hey, when I try to use the enemy randomizer, and I click “load enemy randomizer” on the title screen, it gets to a certain percent (at most 38) and then just kinda stops. Is this because of my terribly optimized computer?
hard to say without more info
Nevermind, it’s working, it just kinda started working when I asked lmao. Thanks for answering anyways!
The video shows what happens when I click play. The game appears in the taskbar and then crashes.I tried reinstalling the game and tried verifying integrity of game files , but the game still wont launch. Can anyone have a solution?
I had run a few mods before uninstalling the game
try unplugging controller
i didnt have my controller plugged

they should be in the save files folder
which you can find above
specifically, modlog and output_log
I honestly have no idea
seems like it isn't being caused by mods tbh
can you run the modinstaller?
let it install the api
and see if it works then
i will try it

if you need it
thanks
nope still doesnt work
anyways thanks for you help
It doesn't ask me to install it
I am pretty sure I have it installed though
Also yes Windows
I will try installing it again
Is it safe to add the mod installer but not add mods while finishing up a run? Don't want to corrupt the save accidentally
you can back up your saves if you'd like, but the installer is pretty safe
How do I backup? Just make copies?

so I have a dilemma:
Installing the universal modding API breaks controller support for the game (yes, I made sure it was that and not anything else)
Installing the Mac/Linux modding API doesn't work in general, some stuff hard locks the game such as picking up skills where they shouldn't be
I'm using the latest versions in the google drive
(on mac, so I can't just use the installer)
So I have one last question for now. I know where to get the Hollow Point mod. How do I install it manually?
Wait, I think 2nd pin from bottom answers that
My debug mod has stopped saving keybinds between sessions, does anyone know what causes that?
using debug on different patches
Ah that'd be it, thanks 
where the path of pain entrance is on the opposite side there's a black box you just smack
mhm
I think mhm in modern lanaguage means yes in this case.
hey
custom knight isn't changing the sprites
does anyone know a fix for this or the reason this might be happening
i am
oh, then your mod must be working. Congrats!
it's not tho
then install it correctly, following the guide

or you know.... give me more information beyond "it's not working"
i did install it correctly following the guide
5 times
i never used that sentance
what i said was this
what does the top left of your menu look like
it does display custom knight there
so effectively...... "it's not working"
you're probably missing files
however sprites do not seem to change
but it's not
then show us
you dumb useless human being
show all the images in the customknight folder
send screenshots of things so we can actually help
you're missing geo.png
it's there tho
one's a pdn
not a png
of sprint
oh yeah
amazing
so you're missing one
yes i am
i'll reinstall the mod
alright thanks guys
btw you don't have to be such a dick @real jacinth
ironic
thats after he was a dick to me tho
well you can't really blame him, it's pretty frustrating when someone asks for help and gives 0 information other than "it no work"
thats not what i said
it's about as helpful
ok but he could have just told me to give more information
like tell me to screenshot the files in CustomKnight folder
that's exactly what he said
that's literally what he said
because i literally screenshotted it
it's a screenshot
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#before is this still not pinned?
you are missing context
fuck i failed to pload
wait
this is being a dick on purpose
if it uploads that is
there we go
ok fucking hell
i am the one who is dumb and fucking mean
ok
i am sorry
everyone
for being so stupid
well you are the one saying it, not me
remember to ask meaningful questions
just don't double down saying you did everything correctly when something isn't working
a general rule of thumb to go by when asking for help is
i am sorry for asking for fucking help
ask yourself "what are they gonna tell me to do?"
like
i had no idea what you would tell me to do
you might not know the specifics
thats why i asked
but you surely have a general idea
i couldn't see that a file was .pdn
wtf
everyone can make that mistake
the way he talks is insulting
"they're gonna ask me to check if I installed it correctly", "they're gonna ask me if I'm running on a modded game", "they're gonna ask me if I'm running a non-pirated copy"
etc.
yes, everyone can
my problem is with this message
this is insulting
everything else is fine
this is just insulting
it's not insulting - he never insulted you in any way
this is someone activly trying to infruate another person
and sarcastic
ok just you know what i meant
is like 99.999% of all the issues that ever pop up in here
and you doubled down saying that you followed the guide
did he have to phrase it like that
so we know the solution before you even told us the issue
yeah cause thats what i did
and had you actually followed it, it would have been installed correctly
i made a mistake
but i did follow it
you are now calling me a fucking liar eh?
this is why
this is wha i fucking mean
he is not
it's just someone trying to make someone else feel guilt for something they didn't do
doing things closely resembling what the guide says is not following what the guide says
but you clearly didn't
i did
otherwise it would have worked
i did fucking did
i edited the sprites myself
and accidently saved one as a .pdn apperantly
the guide has nothing against editing the files myself
indeed it doesn't
yews
it says you need 8 png files
it's even in boldface
when you look at it you see 8
notice that your explanation still doesn't account for the missing file
it's my eye's fault then
the pdn file doesn't actually matter tbh
it does
if the correct file was there, it would've worked
becuase i still see 8 files when i look at it
but
if you had done as instructed and replaced the whole folder, you would have all 8 files + the pdn
how does that even happen
because i accidently saved 3 of them as .pdn files
so i went and deleted the .pdn files
but one of them was a .png i guess
i edited them myself
i didn't download from the drive
which i guess does count as not following the guide perfectly
no
i am saying
it is
but it's isn't a huge mistake
not enough to be condecending to someone
i just swapped that part of the guide out with editing the files
and i edited the files
i had some problems saving apperantly
so i lost 1 of them
damn mickely i guess you are a grandpa now
xD
at the end of the day, the guide could have been more explicit. The guide is now more explicit so this won't happen again (hopefully)
it will
so thank you for pushing me to update it again
now let's drop all this. this isn't productive to anybody
here is what i reccomend
i reccomend that you add a part of the guide for people who want to edit the files themselves isntead of using the ones on the drive
because it assumes that you want to download from the drive
which may not be the case
it would reduce the amount of times people make the mistake
also
please notice that once you sent us the screenshot the issue became instantly apparent
i would say thats lazy just adding one sentance but ok i am not the one who can edit the guide
work smarter not harder
the guide is about installing the mod, not about changing sprite sheets
then you should only tell people how to install it
that's.... what this does
you are already telling them how to swap the sheets
which is part of install, yes
and has vanilla sheets
that should be the end of it
it's a two part install
yes but thats not the purpose of the guide
first, the mod, second, the sheets
I honestly don't even know what you're arguing anymore
this has gotten to the point of arguing semantics and I really don't care
so drop it before we get the admins involved
yes i am arguing semantics right now
why would the admins get involved with this is this against the rules?
because you've been asked to drop it twice now
this conversation is moving far beyond the purpose of this channel and has come to its end
<@&283547423706447872>
i really don't see what the point is here
ok drop it but this time its in orange
I have a question
No thank you, I'm happy with all my household products
lmao about the mods lol but basically is it possible to download mods on mac
first pinned message
errm hi there,is the possibly a mod for increasing the FPS/performance of the game? Since i am playing Hollow Knight on an older computer so some of the places with more things like the Colosseum of Fools lags a bit and even sometime the City of Tears,so anything that can help with the performance would be helpful ^-^
Installing the API (no mods needed) should help performance a bit
hmm thanks,i'l give it a try
when I install then try to readme on some mods it dhows an error screen, am i doing something, wrong mor do i need another program
Ok now i cant even get to the screen to install or anything it just crashes at the "cannot find hollow knight location"
Is the Custom Knight mod only for latest patch of Hollow Knight?
I'm trying to get Multiworld mod working. I have the acual multiworld and server working afaik, but cant get rando 2 working. Does it need to be an older patch or something?
is it possible to download an older version of hollow knight on the xboxgamepass?
no
if you meant you cant see how to open, click on more info. should give you the option to open it
if for whatever reason it gives no option whatsoever, you could briefly turn off whatever antivirus isnt allowing you to have it
thats very odd. usually more info gives you the option of running it away. regardless, in your pc settings, you can turn off windows defender
ok thanks

Hey, i was wondering where I can find where the mods installer is downloading the mods to, because there is a mod downloaded, and I dont want it downloaded, and the mod installer says its not downloaded
im pretty sure its the poorly translated mod
Hello I was wondering if there are any programs to run TAS-like tools such as frame stepping or just slowing it down. I don't plan to do full game run as I understand the issues with RNG, just a segment of the game.
oh ok sorry thanks
Anyone know what Randomizer 2 mod does?
im still here if anyone wants to answer my question
where would that file be? sorry im very new to modding
in Hollow Knight data folder?
thank you!
Hi I’m new to this. Can anyone help me. I’m looking for a trainer. I want to play this game but it’s just so difficult for me, so was wondering were there any god mode or stuff like that ?
Hello, I am relatively new to modding. Got to the point where i can access mods in my Hollow Knight menu but i can't see the mods. So i download SeanPR debug mod, accessed the .dll and put it in the mods folder ... when i open Hollow Knight now it only gives me the title and no menu options. Did i extract the wrong files? or to wrong location? sorry if this explanation doesnt help, i'm not sure what info one would need to figure this out?
i should be clear, i used the mod manager to manually download the .dll and the download was succesful
okay, so as i suspected then, my issue lies with the installer, as the installer doesnt display any mods for me? it only has the option to manually import/download/whatever my mods
i installed it from the pinned message
or, perhaps from the bot that has the installer url
yeah mine is completely blank. bear with me let me try that
this is what i got upon reinstall? i have seen this before when trying to install the modinstaller
when i click continue it opens the modinstaller but in the state i described before (no mods, manual entry only)
?i

this is what my modinstaller looks like.
whats the latest version? is there one newer than the one thats in the pinned messages?
when did you originally download it
I have the latest patch as well as a separate downpatched 1.2.2.1
cuz it gets regular updates
like, two days ago
yes
where are you telling the mod installer your game is?
and where do you have the installer?
telling the mod installer my game is in programfiles(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/HollowKnight
installer is ....
Desktop
C drive? D drive?
Shouldnt, but just gathering info
are you running the installer as admin?
sorry, C drive
wow
thank you. ran it as admin and it worked!
i bought this computer as an open box unit at Best Buy and they didnt properly wipe the drive so i have wonky admin privileges
appreciate both of your help!
or whoever helped thanks lol

Hey does anyone know why with the custom knight mod, the knight turns white whenever I enter another screen until I turn it off then back on again?
Lightbringer has a custom skin
Ah. Is that the white skin? How do I disable it?
Holy shit you have too many mods active
Lightbringer skin also takes priority over customknight
So, I just installed Hollow Point, is normal that I am taking double damage?
why would you instal all of them
@halcyon sandal fury does that
ey
I went and verified game file integrity because of some issue that I guess arose from messing too much with a buncha mods
(input lag of like 2 seconds)
anyways I ran installer as usual and it got modcommon where it should be
but if my memory's not failing me, from the days of manually installing mods
Assembly CSharp had to be replaced, too?
mods aren't being listed in the corner, I'm trying to understand what I'm missing
okay yeah it's the assembly csharp
How do I use HK world edit?
I've been looking for the gods of battle and nightmare god grimm mod for 5 hours.
@hoary aspen HKWorldedit is kinda broken
you can get it from here
https://github.com/nesrak1/HKWorldEdit2
you need to add a few folders in, because they are required but aren't there
so loading will crash
@reef hollow
for infinitegrimm, after getting it go edit the .json file in
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)

for Gods of Battle I think it should be triggering the Sisters of Battle fight with this mod
but I'm not sure
go plop in the .dlls as usual, in your Hollow Knight folder
alright
in steam
Uuuuhh qwq
@sleek tiger that's the one I downloaded, yea
What do you want to use it for
create an entrance here, assuming that's even possible
i've always wondered if there was a way for that to be opened
is that the area, where you go from the crossroads to the city of tears? there totally should be, unless we all have been blind.
It's fungal
i think if was the fungel wastes-
yeah, I know that fungal wastes is next to it.
Right where you meet the first balloon boi (if coming from crossroads)
If possible, make it so when you unlock the elevator, then the door will open (somehow)
probably is
So you'd have to move a door there
ok
I assume the level files in hollow_knight_data are the rooms?
How do I know which is which
Thanks
and Mola has mapped out every name on the map
Yea I'm there
pins
check pins
alright
okay it just said windows defender blocked it
I think it tells me here that it doesn't have writing permissions
and when i press run anyway it dosent do anything

ExportedScenes doesn't exist in there btw
wdym?
did you get the file I just posted, is what I'm asking
yep
There's no ExportedScenes folder
that's the issue then, Ara
oh nevermind it works now
so do i just install whatever i want and restart the game
okay
Ara, can you tell me which scene it is?
172
ty
lmao i downloaded it but now the game is in some unknown language
you downloaded art mod
yeah
that unknown language is part of the mod
oh
wait
lmao im dumb
i was sure thats the one that customizes the knight
well i found the custom knight one
nice
@hoary aspen
You need a /HKWorldEdit2-master/Assets/ExportedScenes folder
AND a /HKWorldEdit2-master/ExportedScenesData
then close and reopen unity
the warnings are not important
Nothing has textures though
i installed custom knight but it still looks the same and i cant get out of full screen?
i would appreciate that

@hoary aspen
Ah I see, the error told me there was one needed in there as well iirc
@runic oriole thanks it worked
I'm telling you, you need both
That's what I did
the screenshots didn't show that
I did now
did you restart unity?
ExportedScenes should be in assets
close unity, delete all the files generated in ExportedScenes and ExportedScenesData, reopen unity, load your scene again
oh and make sure you're using the right version of unity
alright now it works, thanks
cool yw
ey, Saleh
ey, Papers
maybe #archived-modding-development's more fitting for my question
@hoary aspen Ruins_gate_0004_a
I assume I would need to figure out how to make a transition
Saleh can probably help here
TIL
idk how to code, so I guess this is where it ends for me then
unity or c#
or both or whatever idfk how that works
it's not that hard, really
uhhh
idk
I just learned by staring at code long enough
I didn't know much coding before doing blackmoth tbh
just some matlab from uni
I never learned how to code before so idk if that would apply as well
the only coding I’ve learnt is modding Noita and learning as I go
Noita is c++ and lua
i just need to learn the syntax of c#
