i have been looking at pinned messeges and i looked through mod installer and its not there
the api and modcommon are installed automatically
@real jacinth I bought the game. I just wanted to try an older version
you want to try a version with no differences in content?
Some bosses in Godhome are different
hi friends! im new to the community and im trying to modd hollow knight! i was wonderin if yall would help a noob out XD
?i

ah thanks
Sorry, but mods are not made for version 1.4.2.4 because there is very little reason to play on that version, and it is also the most overwhelmingly pirated version of Hollow Knight.
Was the custom knight mod around back then?
maybe just buy the game
this is the best pirate excuse I've seen tbh. so bravo
There really is no reason to assume bad faith
But no, custom knight did not exist at that point
then why are you on that version?
I have 1.4.3.2
The reason I wanted to use 1.4.2.4 was because I wanted to try Verulean's radiance comrade mod. But it won't work on 1.4.3.2
@frigid valve The Enemy Randomizer should be able to be run from the start of an Item Rando as of the most recent update, no needing to wait until the Dirtmouth bench. That being said, there are still issues with it so be sure to run it with the Debug mod for the time being
The old issue was that it would cause the game to load into an out of bounds area and cause the player to enter a state where you might not be able to pause and exit to reload, so it was basically unplayable unless you waited until Dirtmouth to load it
where is the exe for the mod installer located?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
no i mean the default install path for the exe
Yeah, I've been working on that issue recently. I might have a fix soon (it is being tested)
never mind solved that
Still unsure why it's only affecting certain people when others can use it just fine, but computers are just like that sometimes shrugs
When trying to open the readme for anything on the mod installer, I get an unhandled exception error. Trying to find instructions for custom knight 😦
ope nevermind I just found the readme file manually 😓
so i'm having this problem where i click in the skin that i want, but it doesn't change
can you show how your CustomKnight folder is set up
go into one of the skin folders and show what's inside
not the default one of course
the image files aren't at the top level of the directory within the skin folder
so the images should be directly inside [HK_Skin] Scarlet Crisis, not in a folder within another folder
so it should be in like this?
yep
thank you, now im going to do the same thing in the other
could someone help me out, I installed Redwing along with Blackmoth and my focus is is infinitely regenerating and it kills enemies on screen when I take damage. Full mod list is Redwing, Blackmoth, Infinite Grimm, QoL, Custom Knight and Grimmchild upgrades. but I'm pretty sure it's something to do with redwing.

Anyone know why Elderbug sometimes offers to give free maps at the start of a rando and sometimes doesn't? I just finished up a rando race where he behaved as normal and gave maps just fine. But then I loaded up a new file with the same exact settings but different seed, and he went back to his default dialogue and the "Elderbug is a cool dude" as the town text. Didn't close the game or update anything. Just deleted the old file, remade with exact same settings but different seed, then he just stops working. Took like 4 additional rerolls just to get him to give me free stuff again.
I guess it'll be up to whether stuff is obtainable or not
how do you fix it saying just manual
@humble vine a friend of mine had this issue yesterday, he ran modinstaller.exe as administrator and it worked just fine (assuming you're referring to the mod installer)
i need help
thank you @ivory copper
🙂
now i can trick my friend when we do races
I have no idea about stuff for mac. I was lucky enough that I knew how to fix Jago's issue.
otherwise I'm basically zero help.
if it's not in the pinned messages then I have no idea. I don't show up around here that often.
maybe ask in like 8-12 hours from now when more people are on.
since I think most people are probs asleep atm
I NEED HELP
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
i figured it out myself
if i use the mods will i not be able to unlock new achievements because i installed the enemyhpbar?
Steam? You can. GoG? You can’t
I tried to use CustomKnight and put all the pngs from the Zote skin folder and replaced the ones that weren’t in that folder with the ones in the vanilla skin folder, but it said that it had failed to load. Help please!!
How do you even find the place to download mods
Im a lil too confused abt this but i saw something that looked really cool and i wanna try and find it
Google didnt help much abt anything
?mods
Mods
Google Drive with Mods - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_b9PFqx_PR9Um9MeFZMV21oWGs
Installer - https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe
Mod Summaries - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cz5tcggpGofrBcM90XyTkMWjMelDHzugvQM6HpB13Ew
just get the installer
how do I manually install mods?
@trail flint
Windows wont let me run the app or whatever saying it can harm my pc
im confused even more
well i can assure you thats just a false positive
i keep trying to run it but the windows defender wont let me
it isnt even giving me an option to run it
just disable win defender for a bit then reenable it after you install it
how do i do that
are you using 10
Windows 10?
yeah
- Click on your Windows Start menu
- Select 'Settings'
- Click 'Update & Security'
- Select 'Windows Security'
- Choose 'Virus & threat protection'
- Click 'Virus & threat protection settings'
- Turn Real-time protection 'Off'
install the Modinstaller
then turn Real-time protection back On
Okai
problem, mods aren't working for me
they're all in the folder and such, but they aren't loading
nope
wait, where's the modding api?
wtf
why the /?
instead of \
still doesn't work
also validating doesn't work either
My computer had to update
@trail flint
I did turn that off and it still didnt let me open the app
turning it off still doesnt stop windows defender?
Steam
does the error have a "more details" stub you can expand?
yeah
open that
I click more info
And it just says
"App: ModInstaller.exe
Publisher: unknown publisher"
And thats it
Is this happening cuz its an exe file or something
hmm, only one way to find out
@west bane you deal with this
i honestly know shit with installation
usually disabling it should be enough, you did disable and save it before updating it?
try this
can you view the action it took
wdym
does it show up in your protection history
Uh sorry for my stupid "whats a computer"
But wdym by protection history
this is beyond me then tbh lol
manually install, see pins
anyone else might be able to help me?
i can't load mods for some reason. modding api doesn't appear at all either
So whenever I use modinstaller, Hollow Knight will run fine for the first time
With mods and all
However any launches after, Hollow Knight keeps crashing.
I verified the integrity and steam redownloaded a file
and the mods were gone
so I reinstalled them, and HK launched fine again
but once again, any launches after, it kept crashing
hey i need some help
i managed to install Custom Knight and change between skins succesfully
but the custom huds don't seem to be showing up
@hoary aspen what does the button at the bottom of the installer say
is there one that says "enable all installed mods"
if so, click it
i installed the multiplayer client, how do i use it?
how do i enable mods again after I reverted back to unmodded?
open the installer
oh
wait
it's because I had the modinstaller in a different folder to when I first installed it
how do i host a hollow knight multiplayer thingy
you ask @novel bronze for the server program
connect to the server, stuff given by troule in #archived-modding-development
where is mod?
i can't find it o.o
i looked through all of his messages in #archived-modding-development and it isn't there
there's the download
hey, is there a mac version of the mod installer?
I know it's pretty niche subject
thx @vernal rain
how do i manually uninstall mods?
put them in the disabled folder
I tried to use CustomKnight and put all the pngs from the Zote skin folder and replaced the ones that weren’t in that folder with the ones in the vanilla skin folder, but it said that it had failed to load. Help please!!
btw here is my mod log
oh
does hollow knight have to be open for mod installer to work?
i'm on macos 10.14.6 and when i launch modinstaller it closes then launches something else which then automatically closes too
basically it doesn't do anything
i bought hollow knight on steam
move the installer to your desktop
no. it just doesn't work from downloads for whatever reason
oh ok
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I tried to use CustomKnight and put all the pngs from the Zote skin folder and replaced the ones that weren’t in that folder with the ones in the vanilla skin folder, but it said that it had failed to load. Help please!!
btw here is my mod log
show where you put the skins
Am I supposed to have Mono.CSharp.dll and Mono.Security.dll in the mods folder?
on the app i use show package contents then i go to Contents then Resources then Data then Managed then Mods. the skins are in the Custom Knight folder
show the inside of the customknight folder
@novel bronze did you change where the mac version PNGs need to go?
here is the inside of the folder.
the zote ones are knight and sprint. the rest are the vanilla sprite.
I'm pretty sure you need to put the files in their own folder inside that folder, like so:
so one for the zote sprites and one for the vanilla ones?
All of them
Mac also puts the assets in a different file location
does the readme give that location
??
there should also be a "default" labeled folder
there is no option to see the readme on the catalina installer
here is the mod log after i relaunched and closed the game.
so should I make my own folder or not? since I can't see any other folders except for disabled or disable inside my mods folder
and CustomKnight appears as a .dll file which my Mac can't open
I think the readme says the wrong path for mac
Check if /Users/krisdj/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight is there
this is the screenshot when i go to that file path. it just brings me back to the contents folder
is this regular?
Hello, im also having problems with custom knight
Did you navigate to that path or did you copy and paste the path into explorer?
copy and paste
try navigating to it from the root folder, maybe the CustomKnight directory doesn't exist so it takes you to a default location
k
It seems that the mod itself just crashes everytime i enable it
does the game freeze up when the loading bar is full?
yep
try waiting more, it takes a while and might say it stops responding especially if you have a lot of skins
what if i dont have any skins installed?
try waiting for the game to open anyway
there is no managed in the contents file
this is what happens when I reach the contents file by following the file- path
it still crashes
when I search managed it shows 2 folders one leads to the mods folder and the other is empty
some music starts then stops when the crash happens, is this normal?
yeah that's the preloader working
So the game just straight up crashes, no warning beforehand?
so, what do i do?
help please
Are the pngs directly inside the Custom Knight folder?
yes
Also, it should be CustomKnight without spaces
k
the pngs should be inside another folder within CustomKnight, so create a new folder and name it whatever then put the pngs inside there
k
Do you play with a controller helpme
I think you have to disconnect your controller, start up the game, then reconnect it
let me try
here is the thing in game after i did everything you said
it works! thank you so much
np
here is the mod log after closing the game
I'm not familiar with Mac file paths, so where is the Mods folder actually located? I might need to update the mod
...Contents/Resources/Managed/Mods?
no. ...Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods
Could you try one more thing for me before I update the mod?
what?
verify your game's integrity, then reinstall the modding api by running the installer
k
on it
only the api or everything else too?
everything else should already still be installed
k
i'll relaunch and check now?
yeah
honestly I'm expecting the same
I'm having similar problem with customKnight not loading but also I don't have any other directory after common/HollowKnight
you right click and show package contents
ty
@novel bronze it still doesn't work
alright let me update the mod
k
thanks for the help
replace CustomKnight.dll with this one and see if it works
k
it works!!!
tysm
np
gonna put it on the installer now
How do I run the installer on mac?
you get the app, then move it to desktop, then run it
Can anyone send me the link to that?
The link to the modinstaller zip/app is in the pinned messages for Mac
what does this do
makes tiktiks into trans colors
it says customknight failed to load, but i can't find modlog.txt
wait nvm found it
my custom knight skins are in the folder Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight
ok nvm i just downloaded the new CustomKnight.dll file and it works now
@fair ibex how did you manage to find the modlog and install the customknight.dll file? Also may I ask, from the Hollow Knight folder onward, did you manually create those files or were they automatically generated? Basically I’m asking how did you get CustomKnight to work
i used modinstaller to install it first, but it wouldn't work, so then i moved the customknight folder from hollow_knight_data to the path above
and then it still wouldn't work so i replaced the customknight.dll with the one from jngo102 a few messages above
If you could, could you send me the ways you did it step by step? From the file names, I assume you did this on a Mac. I would be forever greatful, but then again, I under you may not have the time.
The folder that I had was the hollow knight folder with the game in it, but there were no further folders in it.
Do I have to manually add them?
first download ModInstaller from the pinned messages and then extract it to your Desktop (doesn't work in Downloads for some reason)
then use ModInstaller to install Custom Knight and the Modding API
and then right click on hollow_knight.app and Show Package Contents, and navigate to the CustomKnight from hollow_knight_data and copy it
then go into hollow_knight.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods and then paste CustomKnight into that folder
then download the CustomKnight.dll file from a few messages above and replace the one in the Mods folder with the new CustomKnight.dll
that's how i did it, basically just messed around with it until it worked
you press connect
I know,thanks,and i already installed it,but i dont know where do you open that window
How do you install a skin with the custom knight mod?
There is a list of sprite sheets in the mod list in pinned messages
There will be a CustomKnight file in your Mods folder (or you need to create it), where you put your skins file (put an entire file with all the sprite sheets in it). You can downoald sprites sheets with the pinned message google drive
@cinder terrace thanks! It worked!
;i
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
thanks
Okay so Im trying to get the custom knight mod to work and I downloaded the stary knight sprite sheets and it has all 8 of the needed
But idk how to get it to work or anything
check the readme
It just says what version it is and where to contact the creator
And the email is invalid now or something
the customknight readme
are you using the launcher
open with wordpad
whats wordpad
And it doesnt give an option for anything else
@ivory copper When you got Elderbug to work again, did you by chance relaunch the game?
Hi every time i try to download the custom knight mod it doesn’t work
Is there a way i can fix it
For context it gets around 12 MB downloaded then it seems to crash and stops downloading
It gets around half way then it says completed even tho its not
@grave girder I don't remember if I did that or not. However that would definitely make the most sense to do that though, huh? 😛 I should have tried that before sending the original message, but it was just so bizarre that it stopped working out of nowhere. I guess sleep deprivation does that to ya. 
No worries, I was just curious if that's what fixed it for when I take a look into it
I didn't really mess with that part of the mod, so I don't know exactly what it does. It may very well just hook into the first play of a launch, which should probably be changed if so
How do i use the custom knight mod
Oh, shoot. I had no idea you were involved with the development of the mod. 😮 I should have been more helpful, my bad.
From what I remember from last night though, I did end up completing a randomizer, and the issue I had last night never happened before, since I'd always started room randos and never finished. I guess I never noticed before since that was the first one I'd done. So maybe it's an issue that has a chance to occur upon completion of a randomizer, going off my sample size of one completed run and the one time I've had this issue.
Might as well @ you just incase you needed the info, who knows. Sorry for the ping.
@grave girder
Oh, no worries. I didn't make it, just did the update to make it compatible with Rando 3. Thanks for the extra info, every little bit helps ^_^
Gallus are you asking about the thing where elderbug doesn't give maps
I think the dialogue counter is called SAFETY, iirc, but it never gets reset while the game is open. I looked at dapper's code a few days ago
Yeah, Kyohei mentioned that Elderbug didn't have the map in a second+ rando
Ah, interesting
Oh yeah, looks like it's called SAFETY like you said, and it's static and only gets incremented up. That should be an easy fix
can someone help me, i tried to open the mod loader, and it said Custom Knight had an update so of course I updated it, and then this appears
@frigid widget run the Mod Loader as admin
Do i have to Uninstall the mods for the risk of saves being corrupted gone or just disable them
@storm lichen just right-click hollow knight on steam then do Browse Local Files then right-click hollow_knight and click Show Package Contents then follow this file-path: Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods
Or just do the mono32 thing
Or look for the installer in the pinned messages
hi i have just downloaded the installer from the second link in the second pinned message what do i do now?
You launch the installer and choose what mod you want
yes but when i launch it it comes up with the little zote icon and it closes
i am on mac by the way
Ah
I’m on windows I won’t really be able to help :(
You don’t happen to have Mac Catalina by any chance ?

How do you use the Custom Knight mod skins?
launch the installer, click the readme
Read the pins
It just gives me the Application error
What app do I open the readme for custom knight with? I don't have an app assigned to open it.
notepad
wordpad or any text thing
Thank you
So when I enable Custom Knight, the game crashes on startup, any advice as what to do next?
Never mind, just had do disable the Debug mod then it worked
wtf
i have randomiser is enabled and im playing through a file using it but is it possible to start a new file without randomiser on without disabling it? if i disable and reenable randomiser later will i be able to go back to my randomised file and continue it?
Can I transfer this all this too my switch or only on computer
mods are PC only
@tawdry patrol
Ok
@hard cloud it shouldn't be a problem, just don't open the randomized save without the mod on
can anyone help me i keep getting this error when use the mod installer
Btw i have purchased hollow knight on steam so i do own it
My custom knight skin doesn't change, and all the sprite sheets are available in the folder. Anyone knows what to do? :/ (@me)
You have to put all the sprites in a folder, in addition to the pre existent CustomKnight folder, and verify in game that you have this skin available when pressing esc @sudden iris
I know it is possible,but maybe is hard to do, someone know how to "mod" the sprite of an enemy?
Thanks btw!
@shrewd prism Upon a quick look, it seems like they are not being used despite the setting, so it may have been an in-progress feature that just didn't get finished
is this a public skin?
twp made it? is it in their folder?
alrighty then, thanks for letting me know
it is public
where can i find it?
thanks a bunch
how much faster does Sanic make the game
by default
how do i find other custom knight sprites? googling didnt get any altered sprites only a few original sprites
right click on hk click on properties
in steam
then local files
then browse local files
So I have downloaded the mod installer for Mac that is pinned here and authorized mono and I've been sitting here for about 10 minutes. Do I need to reopen the mod installer? Because nothing has happened since I authorized mono.
@limpid canopy Post this in the right channel thanks
Sure, go to #art-discussion or #hk-art-gallery
I also recommend reading the pinned messages of the channels you want to post in
^ for the art, the mod installer message is fine
Thank you @vagrant stratus
Np
ok
Does custom knight come with a few skins, or do i have to download them all?
the latter, see #modding-discussion pinned messages for a big library of them
Thanks!
when i clicked on the custom knight mod tutorial i only got an error message. is this just my computer or is this something happening with everyone? sorry if someone has already mentioned this
This always happens when I try using the mod installer
Like the mod installer worked, once and it kinda crashed the game and broke. And then it stopped mod installer stopped making my game work
So I don't know what exactly is going on with the mod installer that doesn't work?
where did you get the game
Steam
rinstall then maybe
I have done that several times already
And I try doing mods without the mod installer app and it doesn't recognize the mods (like the mod name and number doesn't pop up on the top left)
(I'm probably doing something wrong when I do mods without the mod installer)
Anyways, thanks for coming to my Ted talk
you need modinstaller for mods 
might I say, thank you all for the mod help in the pins. They really helped me.

is it possible to generate a spoiler log using just the seed numbers?
@royal bay I believe that you should be able to start a new rando in a different save slot with the same seed number and settings with the option to generate the spoiler log on to get one
And you can use Debug to power up your nail as high as you want, Ramen, if that's sufficient
what does charm overhaul change?
also does verifying game integrity remove all mods or just the api?
what folder is the mod manager in, i still cant find it. Is it in the hollow knight folder somewhere
have you checked in your downloads folder
where do the files you download download to
If by mod downloader, you mean the file called ModInstaller, that both downloads and manages them
is there anyway to add the white cloak skin to other sprites that use the default cloak? if so, how can i do this? I'm looking for the younger hollow knight sprite pack wearing the white cloak, i already have the hollow knight pack for custom knight, but they're not wearing the white cloak, is there any way to change this? (I can't seem to find it in the google drive sprites folders made by the white palace group)
im pretty sure theres a skin thats called pure vessel that has the horns of the hollow knight with a white cloak (its not from the white palace group tho)
oh okay thanks, ill try to look for that.
np
For custom knight i dont find where to find the skin to put?
in the options in mod, there is nothing
Ook
how do i install a certain skin onto my knight?
Just download the Mod Downloader,install Custom Knight Mod,go to the Hollow Knight Data/Managed/Mods/Custom Knight and drop the skin there,you can download skins asking for Google Drive link
Default is there so you can see how the skin folders are set up and so you can switch back to the default skin whenever you want
okay, so i have both the default and starry, will it stay default because it is still there?
just rename the default to something else then change starry knight (or any other skin) to default
You should be able to switch to starry knight from the pause menu
okay thank you
Hollow knight boss fight
is invisible
i only have Benchwarp, Custom Knight and EnemyHPBar
Not sure what ModConsole does, can anyone help me out here?
I already checked the doc but not sure exactly what it means
Also can anyone tell me why randomizer 2 says it's outdated and what all randomizer 3 actually randomizes
Also are all the boss mods placed in Godhome?
And I am supposed to be using randomizer 2 and 3 together or seperately?
if you aren't making a mod, modconsole will mean something to you
they are in godhome unless stated otherwise
the latter

sorry just need to say this, you can fit more than 8 words in a sentence
you know phrases and sentences exist right?
what for?
guys I figured out the problem I think
in my mods floder modcommon.dll is missing
so anyone can send me?
I cannot get custom knight to work does anyone know what the problem could be?
If I try using the scrollable skin selection on the side it just moves the picture of the knight with default on him up
@fair valley do you have the sprites?
rename the default to something else
then change the skins name to default
then press default again
Do I have to get the sprites separately? because I was under the impression that Custom knight would just start me off with a few
Nvm I found the issue. Thank you for your help though.
you are welcome
installed modding api and modcommon manually through modinstaller just to see if it would work, the text at the top right said assembly-csharp.dll in /mods/ failed to load
i don,t know where to ask but double vessel only affects PV right?
yes
so i installed the modding file, and in a save file i started a randomizer, but when i deactivated the randomizer and went to play a previous save file, i became unable to acquire the awoken dream nail. is there anything i can do to get it. ive already got 2400 essence in the file
Hey could anybody explain to me how to use GODump? I have already installed it and all, when I go into the game the .json file is generated, but when I press F1, F2, or F3, nothing happens
does the game freeze up for a second every now and then after you've pressed any of those keys?
Not at all
I also checked the folders in AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and nothing was generated
Well what you can do is turn on the in game log by following these instructions: https://radiance.host/apidocs/Logging.html
specifically the one for ShowDebugLogInGame
that way you can see in the in game log whether GODump is actually working or not
Very well, I'll get on that and report back
Thank you!
Odd, nothing seems to be happening
I'll try to reinstall Godump
Did you get the in game log to show up by pressing F10?
I did, it was showing the logs of other mods and all
Oh I think I know why
Yep, I needed to use Fn+F1,F2,F3
So I just did Fn+F2 and it stuttered for a while, now the log output said End Dumping Atlases.png:50
yeah it might take a while to dump all the game objects
Oh god, I may be slightly dumb
I was going through the steps in the readme
and last thing was F4 to get all the animation strings
So of course I pressed Fn+F4
except I accidentally went Alt+F4
gigabrain
Wouldn't it be convenient if I just zipped up all of the sprites and we had it readily downloadable somewhere? So people don't have to go through GODump
Ohhh.... Did not know that
Nevermind then, thanks for the help jngo
np
is there any way for me to get the awoken dream nail after getting 2400 essence? i got the modding tool that's pinned in the pinned messages and now i cant get the awoken dream nail in my file.
debug probably
Question: Is it possible to quick swap Custom Knight skins in game without having to swap the sprites every time?
the new custom knight lets you do that, within custom knight folder you should make a folder with the skin name and the assets within that
So basically liek this?
yea
what are the contents of those folders like
do they match the amount that default does
Anyone know how do you execute/open the Sprite Packer? I downloaded the .rar 
#archived-modding-development @wintry edge
Inside the GrimmKnight folder is this
compare to default, i doubt "HUD2" is a thing
So basically I rename it?
should look kinda like this, it works for me
I fixed it now!
I got an error: When trying to open HK2Editor Unity do not open it,the error was: Assets/Editor/Bundler/BundleCreator.cs(1,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `AssetsTools' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?
im trying to install the debug mod on 1.2.2.1 (linux) and its stuck on the title screen (before the main menu) telling me to check my ModLog.txt this is what it says

ive installed the 1.2.2.1 linux version of the API and then the debug mod
anyone know how to fix this?
does the debugmod just not work on linux or something?
turn off moresaves
will i losemy other saves
unless you turn it back on
yay
Hey, asking just in case it could mess anything up, for moresaves if I want to manually add a save would I just add it like any other? Of course using some n >4 in this case
yes
Make sure that the folder you move opens directly to the image files themselves.
That is, when you double click on the folder, it opens up to the PNGs themselves and not to another folder.
I try to install the Grimm Knight skin , i don't understand what this meant
it means the structure of the folder is Skin Folder/*.png
not something like Skin Folder/Another Folder/*.png
Ohh , like that , thank you 
i think my problem might be related to when i just have the modapi installed and launch hollow knight it doesnt go to the main menu
anyone have any idea why this is happening/how to fix this
(im on Linux Mint x86_64)
im using version 1.2.2.1
does it have to do with me using the new depot downloader and the drm didnt download with it? (it launches fine without the api)
also just in case that sounds like im trying to hide that im pirating it here is a screenshot of it in my library
i think this is the relevant bit of error [INFO]:[API] - Adding GitHub SSL Cert to Allow for Checking of Mod Versions [INFO]:[ModManager] - Initializing [INFO]:[ModManager] - Initialized [ERROR]:[API] - Couldn't check for new version.System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range. at Modding.ModHooks..ctor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
my guess is it couldnt reach the github
or something
(the full error log is a little further up but i can resend if need be)
So either im stupid or something cause i cant find the Grimmknight folder anywhere i look does anyone know where i can find it
#modding-discussion pins
thanks
just a quick question: is modding compatible with mac?
yes
oh cool thanks
does anyone know how to open the game and find the files for the characters? Like the animations and such?
i am currently busy with the pantheon of hallownest, but i dont have the time to spend 40 minutes just to trek back to a boss i have trouble with. i want to beat the pantheon fully legitimate but its hard for me to keep trying for it with this massive time investment. hollow knight is by far my favorite game but its a shame that i cant get all the achievements without spending ages getting this last one. does anyone know of a mod that allows you to set your own save points (im planning on just using them in the checkpoint bench sections) or a mod that generally changes the benches in the checkpoints to acctual checkpoints? (i have already tried stuff like debug but it doesnt seem to work the way i want to use it) any help with this would be awesome
you can set save states with debugs, for mod descriptions check mod summaries in pinned
you can also train in HoG for bosses you have trouble with
ive tried the save states, but it seems that no matter which checkpoint i save at everytime i load my save state it puts me back at the first checkpoint of the pantheon
i can beat the bosses pretty consistantly, my issue is the time investment. i beat all the other pantheons i have proven i can beat all the bosses, and you enter PV with full health anyway, so i dont really see a need for why its not a save point i guess, its not that i dont respect the challenge, everyone that fully did it with their time investment is an amazing player and better than ill ever be
so i dont really see a need for why its not a save point i guess
its a boss rush, also this doesn't really have much to do with installing hollow knight mods
yeah sorry
does anyone know how to install skins for the game?
Check the pins
thanks
I'm assuming to manual instal mods through modinstaller?
seems ppl don't exist no more
you can manual install with the modinstaller afaik
thx
right, so the mod i'm installing is a skin of sorts for a grimm troupe vibe, but it's not showing up. Did i go wrong somewhere?
The file of the mod is placed in the mods folder of hk
You have to place it in the CustomKnight folder, which should be inside the Mods folder
If not, create it
You can keep it here, you can select in game which skin you like to use at the moment
right
is the multiplayer mod by jngo102 playable yet?
no
😔 alrighty, thank you
does the mod client work for the microsoft store version of the game?
- 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.
no need to appologize
Hey, I borrowed the game from my brother through family share, yet Mod Installer still says that I need to purchase the game 
Do I really need to purchase the game on my own account?
I made another instance of hollow knight, I copied and pasted the files to the other location, and I installed mods for the second instance. So I have a vanilla and a modded hollow knight instance. The problem is, whenever I try to start the modded one, it loads up vanilla with steam, and when I try to open it again it just says "Another instance is already running" even though it isn't
Any fix?
does anyone know how to open the game and find the files for the characters? Like the animations and such?

So I've spent about 40 minutes scrolling through the chat trying to get the mod installer to work myself so I wouldn't have to bother anyone. But it wouldn't work because it would just keep closing? I tried a couple other things but none of them worked which means Im probably missing an important step... So if someone would be so kind as to help me through the process I'd be very grateful. Im using a mac and Im also pretty new to this kind of stuff sorry...
It isnt but for some reason its the only one that would actually open
It wouldn't work though
Actually its pretty late for me i'll try again later
when i click go back to unmodded it says vanilla hk could not be found, can i get some help?
how do you download cuostom skins
@dense pivot verify integrity of game cache if steam
@grizzled stream #modding-discussion pins
So actually i stayed up, would someone be willing to help me?
did you drag the installer out of your downloads folder
Oh...
Thanks!
Hey, I was curious; Does using the mod installer and mods disable achievements in some way? I've recently unlocked 2 things and they popped up in-game but I didn't get them in the GOG client. I've installed custom knight and hp bars.
disabled on gog but not on steam
Hmm, ok. And if I remove the mods and the installer will it recheck, or do i have to get the achievements again?
Poorly translated isn't working and I don't know why. It tells me I just don't know what any of it means
broke debug menu by binding leftmouse to something, now I can't change bindings. Is there a way to reset them?
oh and those bindings seem to persist through reinstallation of the mod, the mod installer, and the entire game.
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
what
what message does it give you
it's wrong
click "more info" and then "run anyways"
is there any known way to fix that keybind thing? maybe some sort of shortcut to reset keybinds in the debug menu?
i use the benchwarp mod for that, didn't know the debug mod can do that too
i can explain the benchwarp mod if you like?
after you install it and load the game, go to the pause screen you'll see a bunch of tabs in a horizontal row at the top. when you click on them a bunch of words will cascade downwards vertically. the tabs are the areas and the words below them are the locations of the benches.
when you click on a bench name the font will turn yellow. on the left side there is a Warp button, click it to go to that bench
alternatively, you can just plop a bench down right where you are
beneath that bunch of tabs and words at the top is a Deploy section, click deploy to create a bench, click Set to make it the default warp when you die next
oh.. oh no
it should be a thick horizontal bar when you load up the game
what is in your hk installation folder?
go to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
oh
are you on steam or gog?
cool
in your windows explorer
this is what my setup looks like, for reference:
mod manager version 8.5.3
hmm
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\
that should be the default if you haven't changed it in steam
yup, then follow the path common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
does your game work with benchwarp disabled?
aww 😦
i don't know
can you check the date modified
for modcommon and benchwarp, do yours matche up with mine?
do you have the date modified column?
it should be the latest versions
try installing another harmless mod like enemyhpbar
and see if your game runs okay
i wonder if it's related to your save game?
how much have you played? i barely played the game before i installed the mods
hmm
i'm sorry i don't know how to help 😦
you could try finding your save file and making a copy, and then uninstalling+reinstalling hk
Does any one know how to get a custom knight, I've already downloaded one but how do I use it?
I know but how do i put in to the files or someting
@safe canopy Sorry to bother , froggo need help , i cannot explain it thoroughly

Wait go to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
have you installed custom knight
yes

Yes

hey, so i made my own customknight spritesheets, but they keep getting overridden by lightbringer's 'white cloak' thing, is there any way for that to be turned off? or do i have to go and delete the files?
alright, i'll give that a try, though i'd rather not disable the mod
Just got an update for Enemy Randomizer mod, is there any way to see what was updated? Looked pretty small. I remember reading here that it's an older mod
The most recent update had a fix for the 88% loading freeze
Cool, thanks. Where did you find that info?
I'm the contributor that made the update
this may not exactly be modding but i want to find and replace some music files in the game
Poorly translated isn't working and I don't know what the problem is. Can anyone help?
Is there a specific place I have to put it?
Thanks
Hmm, how can i donwload the costume knight Pure Vessel
sprites are pinned in #modding-discussion , use the modinstaller and follow the customknight readme
Thank you
#speedrunning pins
so with enemy randomizer, when i load it in the menu it fucks the game up
