Ah, I see what you mean. I'm not sure 100% because I've only done room randomizer, but Randomizer 3 actually flags on the map which item locations are obtainable with a red ? that is small and dull if unobtainable and large and bright if obtainable. (But again, that might only be for room randomizer because otherwise it would be even more nightmarish)
Hmm I didn't see that, I mighth have to look closer at it, I'll see into it. Thanks for the tip !
This one isn't visual, but still tells you which locations have items: https://scripterswar.com/hollowknight/randomizer
Randomizer Helper for the game Hollow Knight.
For Randomizer 3, those icons only show up in the menu map fwiw, not the one that shows up when you hold Tab
Sorry guys, I Started another run in a second save with mod to test it, but then I removed the mods and played with my Main save, but seems they still stay on the game, any suggestions to fix? maybe reinstalling the entire game?
Hi, Im trying to install the modding API for 1221 but steam keeps saying its missing files and then reinstalls the game. what should I do?
if i install a mod installer for hollow knight, i can uninstall it?
Yes, but depending on what installer youre using it might get rid of the mods as well
tried installing customknight and i get this error
this is what my folder looks like
does it only work on current patch perhaps 
yeah
quite unfortunate, thanks 
sry for interrupting, I'm playing a randmozied Hollow Point run and I just got the grenade but how do I use it when I click my "Cast" key I just switch weapons
I'm trying to make a custom vessel with hk sprite packer but i can't put the photos into hk sprite packer.

oh wait name yeah hollow point
lol the name is Hollow Point
can someone help me
I thought its point mod
no
why?
isnt making custom hollow knight hard
there arent much custom knights xd I am using the demon one
yep but i want to make my self
wait there's 2 docs with skins
really
I know only one
can you send me both of them please ?
@novel bronze good luck dude I know nothing about that sorry
this is the godd stuff https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16BUDS5e4_5eRId3It318OI4jCCSIZzjx
good*
I'm pretty sure this is the one you havent seen because shadow is from the other one
i have the sheets but i can't put the sheets
thanks
i really need help
describe your problem
i can't get the double vessle mod to work on a mac?
wdym, it wont show up in the top left, it shows up but says failed to load?
ok so this is what is in the top left when I open the game
normal
i have doublevessle.dll in my hollow knight folder with the aplication
i go to pure vessel in godhome
there is only one
wait its not
can you screenshot the mods folder
where would that be
because all i have is this
this is in my hollow knight folder through steam
maybe it's ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/ (not familiar with mac's paths
that just takes me to what i sent a pic of
also are you using the mod installer, or did you manual these
is there a "manually install" button ont he installer
yes
hit that, then point it to the .dll
should i type doublevessel.dll in the file name?
i don't know what you mean sorry
it should be, open installer, manually install, (should bring open a window), click on the .dll file, hit okay, unless it's diff with mac
this is what comes up when i go to my hollow knight.app folder through the mod api
i think it may be different
is that the exact directory of where you had your .dll?
i dont know because there is no contents folder in my actual hollow knight folder through finder
well you can relocate the .dll to somewhere easy to find like a downloads folder
oh ok
it says successfully installed
moment of truth
YES
also did i see someone say QoL can allow me to move while the second one is screaming?
yes, youll need QoL
Where do I go to open up the Modding API?
hello, someone knows why the game crashes when i install the custom knight?
are you using a controller
yes
Unplug it, wait for it to load, plug it back in when it’s done loading
seriously, is it that easy? im going to try hahah
when i open up the application file for mod installer it just opens and immediately closes
im on mac
wow I did not expect that to work
congratulations
Mac's file path is hollow_knight.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods for anyone who's wondering
for some reason the modinstaller installed the customknight files in the wrong place so i had to move them


can someone help me I uh think I broke hollow knight with mods, where if I go into a save file, it just teleports me inside the walls of the sly room even if I have no mods installed
yes
you might have loaded a savestate before creating one, it warps you to sly and you get stuck
I have, but whenever I try to move it glitches me back to where I was before I was brought into the sly room, and then when I move again it teleports me back inside the walls of the sly room
I tried reseting the save file bit when I get into kings pass it just teleports me back to the sly room, and this happens on any save
I did all of that and it still sends me there
I even tried uninstalling the modloader
and eventually it turns into a black screen, and then I have to alt tab out
okay I fixed it by getting rid of the mod loader then re-installing it and disabling all mods, now everything is good
@gloomy bison If you install the Rando Map Mod, it will add pins to the in-game map that indicate what randomized item locations are reachable or not at any time
How does randomizer mod work? And what’s the difference between 2 and 3
it randomizes the locations of various types of items such as charms, relics, and geo chests. 3 has more options for items to randomize than 2, and you can also randomize either area transitions or room transitions.
3 is just 2 but more
my mod instaler is saying i dont have hollow knight instaled but i have it on steam how could i fix this?
@grave girder Alright, I'll have to look closer at the map cause I didn't notice it, thanks for the tip!
@calm terrace try to run it as administrator, that usually fixes whatever problem i have and make sure the game directory is correct.
I'm trying to make a custom vessel with hk sprite packer but i can't put the sheets into hk sprite packer.
Guys can someone help me please?
After Modding my Savefile went bugged.. I can always oneshot whitout mods
And i can't repair it
CharmOverhaul's Readme is just random gibberish?
or do I have to open it with other text editor
Like markdown?

im playing modded and my hollowknight is sometimes loading choppy anyway to fix that
I'm playing enemy randomized Hollow Point and was gonna enter soul sanctum but what used to be the introduction fight to the soul benders or whatever they're called, nothin happens there
well the gates appear and block the path
but no enemy spawns
help
fixed it
In the pins it says "+ Make sure the CustomKnight folder contains exactly 8 sprite sheets, named "Hud", "Knight", "OrbFull", "Sprint", "VoidSpells", "VS", "Wraiths", and "Geo"." where is this "CustomKnight" folder located?
D: or C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight
thank you
@hot forge that folder is the folder where you should put skin folders, the pin means that every skin folder should have 8 sprite sheets
?
there should be a folder called Default in the CustomKnight folder with default sprites to use if a skin folder is missing one
I already have it solved
well basically i'm just trying to say the CustomKnight folder should have more folders inside of it, not the sprite sheets directly inside it
@night sail i have tryed that the directory is saying hollow knight dosent exist and making a nes steam forler
how would one get mod installer to work on a mac?
or just get mod installer on a mac
because i tried to install it but it only opened a "Xanarian profiler"
just a quick question, is there a way to mod on xbox one?
no
dang
hey i'm trying to take a screen shot of as many characters from hollow knight as i possibly can for a project im doing but|| quirrel has already died|| and there are some characters that just aren't there anymore and im wondering if there is a mod for things like having everything at the beggining of the game and also infinite geo, essence and bench warp?
use debug and benchwarp
I'd like to apply Custom knight to my Hollow kNight, so please help me.
use modinstaller to install customknight, and then download sprites from links in the pins and move them to the CustomKnight folder
pretty simple
Did you read this?
My Hollow Nknght folder has managed but no mod.
you need the modding api and modcommon to install mods
modinstaller will automatically install them for you
you can also use it to install customknight for you
Where can I download it?

Stop my computer from running that.

i'm not sure how to disable your antivirus
Is there no Korean here?
when that window pops up, click "more details" and click "run anyway"
it's normal for that window to open when you open the installer for the first time
Hey everyone I had a quick question. I had a randomizer run I had spent a good amount of time on but then I disabled it to troubleshoot the Debug mod. Now that's working and I can make a new randomizer game, but the one I was on is not random anymore. Is that run permanently dead? 😦
My game keeps crashing on startup whenever I use the CustomKnight mod. I got it to work once, but it crashed after I beat the game. Any fix?
are you using a controller
yes
unplug the controller, wait for the game to load, plug it back in when it's done loading
I haven't found in "Mod summaries" so

is Path of Pure vessel adds Pure Vessel in the room before room with Pale King?
hey i am having a problem with one of the mod on this installer and need some help.
its the enemy randomizer and every time i load the game it keeps saying that it failed to load
hm
maybe it had errors with downloading mod?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm sorry to bother your but I wondered if there was any mod to play path of pain without having to start a new game ? Thanks a lot for your answers 🙂
does anyone actually have a link for the grimknight mod ting? i literally scoured every corner of the internet
the only link i found was an error 404
oh the actual mod is called custom-knight
so moding thing is legit?
@kind oak i believe QoL mod does that, i know one mod does it, if that doesn't work you can edit your save file. make sure to back it up first
is "Mono.CSharp.dll" required for anything? it failed to load and i don't know what it does
yeah QoL lets you do it
alternatively you can abuse debug's noclip feature to access PoP anyawys
hmm double vessel doesn't work for some reason works now
@kind oak i believe QoL mod does that, i know one mod does it, if that doesn't work you can edit your save file. make sure to back it up first
@night sail Thanks, any chance you have a link for that mod ? I can only find one to do it backwards
@vernal rain I have mod manager by Gradow, is is something else ?
Oh right I need to go down in the menu. Thanks very much for your help and sorry for my stupid questions 
how i open the mod menu in-game?
I have absolutely no idea where to get hollow knight mods can someone please explain
(Specially custom knight)
do you mean stuff like the mod installer?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Epic that was a lot easier than I thought it would be, thank.
exist a mod to oneshot the enemies?
debug, then just give yourself a thousand damage
thanks
Can you properly 112% the game with an enemy randomizer?
Im pretty sure you just have to kill a boss to get percent from it, so I would say yes.
In a sense of mawlek not giving a fragment
ok that might be an issue
It’s been a while since I’ve been there
but I've gotten plenty of randomize attempts where the right bois spawns in their boss area, so you might just have to keep trying
Might check back later
Also when I having fun at the lake
I “killed” some dream bosses
But I don’t get essence from that right
@lapis oxide On the Enemy Randomizer load, is ModCommon in the list of loaded mods and, if so, did it also fail to load?
theres an infinite notches mod
i tried to install one, it didnt work
and the mod manager is not working as you can see there
ohhhh
now it worked i guess i removed and installed again
what the
it didnt work
try putting the charms on
?mods

Maybe try to equip all the charms! It shows a finite amount of notches either way.
i tried
And you can't equip a single one of them?
The Charm Notch Mod is not the infinite notches one
ohhh what is it
Oh, isn't that the one that gives one notch to all charms or something?
It just grants you all notches bought from Sally automatically upon their unlock
Ooh, right
read the readmes of the mods
Check the mod summaries link above
There is an infinite notches one though, isn't it in the google drive? I did download it myself so--
yep
thank you
No problem. Hope it works and you have fun with it
AAAAAAAAAAAA
Also if you want to see something funny: try to slide to the right towards the Journal page
wat
It doesn't do that if you switch from the left though, so it's not a big deal
Mod summaries for all mods in the mod installer should be in the link provided above
ohhhh ok
enemy randomizer is not working
yeah enemy randomizer is finnicky
Is it failing to load, or are things just not randomized?
yes not randomized
did you press the button on the title screen
Did you click the "Load Enemy Randomizer" button in the top left corner of the title screen?
ohhh it doenst show anymore
You'll probably have to restart the game
Enemy Randomizer has load through every room with unique enemies in the game to get information on them to allow randomization. It takes a while to run, so it is not automated
Do be sure to have Debug on as well. Though a lot of things have been fixed, there are still quirks with it that might lock your progress (like arena fights not ending properly), so Debug will help you escape those if they happen
Yeah, that's the intended behavior. Wait for the load to finish
does debug finish the game?
No, it lets you do things like noclip through walls (in case doors don't open) and such
ohh ok
ok, i downloaded the mac version of the Modinstaller and approoved it but it wont open still?
approved*
any ideas on how to fix it?
move the app to your desktop, then run it
what OS version do you have
catalina
you need to use modinstaller 2 then
whats that?
thank you
ok so do i just press the button to install it
how do i get the mods to work in my game? like how can i tell if it worked
you follow what the pin says, then click whatever additional mods you want
then just run the game
ok
list of mods that are installed will show top left of your title screen
So illegal workshop is a thing
i mean, achievements
no
lol
So I am trying to install the mod but I can't navigate to the AppData folder in the installer. Thoughts? Windows 10, game downloaded using Xbox Game Pass
Makes sense, thanks though!
i cant revert to unmodded, everytime i verify my files or reinstall the game nothing works, any help?
did you delete the assemblycsharp first
oh, no, i didnt realize i had to do that, where is it?
oh wait verifying alone SHOULD work
thats what i thought but it hasnt worked, and ive tried reinstalling as well, also, when I try to revert to unmodded it says "unable to locate vanilla files" if thats any help
your in steam right?
yup
sorry the modinstaller says "unable to locate vanilla files"
steam is able to verify files properly with no errors though, so i dont know whats wrong
steam verifies the game properly, but once i go back in the game it still has the mods enabled, such as the debug mod
im just boggled at this point
when I try to use the mod Installer on mac using mono as instructed I am just told [Permission denied]
There were a hundred plus messages here
oof help
You have the charm binding on so no charms
How to get an other skin?
Install CustomKnight and read the readme
ty
Are you sure you specified the good paths where hollow knight is stored ?
Does anyone know how the "Randomizer 3 (Item or Room)" works ? I would like to do a randomized item run :3 Also, I would like to know, is the item randomizer softlockable ?
it has logic so it doesn't softlock
Ha sweet :3
@stable hornet did you install both redwing mods? if so i think they're enabled by default, healing, skills, nail master stuff. and you're supposed to have blackmoth installed too.
i'm a little confused on how to get the enemy randomizer to randomize every enemy. Right now, certain enemies such as the crawlids are all become lesser mawleks rather than each being their own random bug
any tips?
thanks, worked for me just now too
Ok great
@winged ermine chaos mode
Is there also a way for it to include randomizing normal enemies to bosses ?
Hey I heard that if you do the Randomizer the Elderbug in town can or should give all the maps or something ? But it seems he doesn't do that for me, is that a randomizer setting or ?
you need to install the Rando Map Mod for that
if you installed it after you started the save you may have to start a new run
Hmm I guess I'll have to try and find out haha :P.
someone help me plz ;=;
@night sail
Yes, I have, but I don’t know how to trigger some of the abilities shown
Like yeah, I know what nail arts are
But the napalm ability and fire trail are being very elusive
might be related to an upgrade?
hmm, try to manual;y uninstall the 3 mods and re install them, that's the last thing i can think of (or they are related to a charm idk, haven't played redwing in a long time)
so it's possible to use randomizer 2, 3, and chaos mode at the same time?
when i have both 2 and 3 enabled it won't allow for the randomizing of enemies for some reason
well using both 2 and 3 at the same time is pointless, everything you can do in 2 you can do in 3
maybe i'm just confused as to where i can mess with enemy settings then, when i'm starting a world i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but the enemies aren't randomizing
only items and skills and such
they only started randomizing when I used randomizer 2
You have to be sure to click on the Load Enemy Randomizer button on the main menu when you start the game, then wait for it to finish loading before you select a file (or start a new one). The options for the Enemy Randomizer are at the bottom of the Options page
oh i didn't know they were in options! okay, thank you so much everyone
No problem, hope you have fun with it!
I have a randomized saved game and I disabled the randomizer at one point and started the game up and nothing in that game is randomized anymore. Turning the randomizer back on doesn't put it back into it's randomized state. Does anyone know if there's a way to get the randomized state back, or did I bork the run?
why cant i find my steam file in program x86 for modinstaller hollow knight
i feel very dumb
Are there any other mods outside from mod installer?
very big brain question, idk
What does transtrans do?
makes tiktiks trans colors
what do indie crossover and lifeblood master do?
lifeblood master is hive knight challenge mod
albeit it just makes his animations faster, gives him more health, and summons a medium bee when he's at half health
not sure
Adds 2 new bosses
what are they?
Fennel from Momodora and Propeller Knight from Shovel Knight
Thanks
Hey um, can someone help me with figuring out how to get any mods? Idk where to go or what to do, I'm on windows 10. I just want a skin mod.
Look in the pins for the mod installer
Thank you
Uh, how does it work. It gave me a file, it doesn't appear to have anything in it
Alright, I installed custom knight
Now you need to install some skins, look in the pins for them
Alright, thank you.
Once one is downloaded to I have to do anything with it or will it just be in the mod?
Yes, here is a guide https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/bhzvg
Speedrunning leaderboards, resources, forums, and more!
Thank you
how to mod ?
i would like some assistance for modding hollow knight on mac because i’m stupid
Is there anyway for me to get masks with debug?
For using Debug Mod quite a lot, I'm quite sure that nope, there is no way to add masks. You have the choice to use "Infinite HP", but it's either that or your normal amount of masks; there is no in-between.
As for mods on Mac, I don't know personally, but you should check the pins! Normally this should already be help on how to install stuff on any material.
Hey, how exactly do you get debug mod working, I tried downloading it and I think I know how now but whenever I download it I don't actually get a file to put into the mods folder or anything. The install button just does nothing in the mod manager.
My game is GOG and I don't have a new version, I wanted 1.4.2.4 mods, Can someone help me. I was wondering if you can give me the modinstaller 1.4.2.4 file
I not have no money, but sorry
that's unfortunate
sorry, i will buy the game...Sorry for the inconvenience, I will already pay a ticket to buy the game: 3
Help, why can't i enable noclip in debug/enemy randomizer/ etc.?
@somber shore what do you need help with specifically?
i’ve figured out to find the radiance thing for the mod installer but it says that i can’t open it
@crystal bay bought the game
nice
any jojo mods lol
pffft haha
XDD
there is a skin
can i use the mods if i got the games on epic games?
im using infinite charm notches and im getting overcharmed damage, help!
ive enabled infinite grimm but how exactly do you fight finite nightmare god grimms?
you need to enable it in the mods settings
there is also a setting that lets you kill them instead of them being infinite
i dont see infinite grimm in the mod settings
Idk, its been a while since I used it
so im looking to mod my hk with the randomizer mod (first time modding) but the file i downloaded is randomizer 2.0 even tho the drive and the tutorial i was watching both had 3.0
any clues on where to find the latest version
Can Someone tell me if modding is safe for my save files?
uh no, better back them up
how do you backup?
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)

follow this and copy the files in another location
not sure if this is the right place to ask
but if i reinstall HK, will all of the save files made with the MoreSaves mod be erased?
alright tried something out, i think i've identified the problem
enabling Benchwarp seems to make the game crash. i've tried uninstalling Benchwarp and installing it again, but it still crashes
any suggestions?
not sure if this is the right place to ask
but if i reinstall HK, will all of the save files made with the MoreSaves mod be erased?
@wispy crow they won't
alright cool
thanks! 
just reinstalled the game
tried to launch it with Benchwarp enabled again, and the same thing happened
i think it might be the mod that's making the game crash
The game was uninstalled without reason and the mods no longer appear and I cannot put the game in French.
Help me!
hi, do i use modinstaller if i only want a custom skin?
@calm bone yes, you then download the skins you want from public google docs and install them properly
okay, thanks
Why does this kind of thing happen to me?
Someone can help me?
T-T
how far can a mod go?
Problem resolved yeah!!!
I need help, you have a hollow knight customizer pack for me
what?
i know that english likely isnt your first language, not mine either but i cant understand that sentence
@young sparrow
are you asking for customknight skins?
It's okay
theres a "CustomKnight spritesheets" pin in #modding-discussion
the google drive has them
also these
thank you
Hi, in randomizer 3, I'm guessing the arcane egg in lifeblood room is not randomized since it's missable?
Nevermind, I tried picking up the other item and the door stays open, so not missable anymore
Can I use the mods on xbox gamepass pc edition?
no
yeah you can't
Mkay
I'm trying to use the skins from the CustomKnight Sprite Sheets,but the files have no instructions about how to install it.Can someone give me some help,please?
does the readme not work?
Some are just blank notes and others don't say crap about how to install
can you screenshot the readme file
okay i coulda swore jngo put it in the custom knight readme 
make a folder within your customknight folder of skinname and then in skinname there will be all the png's
This is what the Void Knight skin mod readme says: I am speechless, Lich.
Ok, this skin will significantly increase the percentage of VOID of your knight.
Have fun in mercyless murdering your siblings.
Good Luck.
—— PotatOS
-_-
okay wait the customknight readme does detail you on how to install the skins
@somber shore are you on catalina?
Hello. Just getting into modding on PC after switching from GamePass to Steam. Will pre-existing saves be modified by mods I install?
The pre-existing saves will be edited (unless it’s a randomizer)
@random musk
My daughter is using Enemy Randomizer and Debug on a new save. I would like to be able to continue my Steel Soul run legit with base game placements
Then you can revert to unmodded by verifying integrity of game files in steam
Ah, okay, so I would need to revert, then reinstall everything to play modded again?
Yes
Okay, I thought that might be the case, thanks for confirmation 😬
No prob
I do also have the game on Switch, so I’ll probably try to get SS mode unlocked on that version
@vagrant stratus Thank You!

It's the readme of the Custom Knight mod itself, if you need to read it again and you can't find my message
Yeah,I think i mess up the mods
I thought it was the same files from the Team White Palace.
Please,don't mind me being stupid
i need help with the debug mod
i accidently binded something to give me something and now i dont know how to unbind it
thank you
did that and this is what is says
yes it looks good so far
oof problem
the fact that is is no binds means i cant open the debug menu by pressing f1
damn it
YES it worked
anyone you are a fucking god
i love you
what mod is good for getting out of a locked boss room during enemy randomizer? i'm locked in the room before soul sanctum even after i kill all the enemies
enemy rando should have a no-clip with it
I'm trying to launch the mod installer but it just opens up and goes away. (im on mac btw)
@normal rose The ModInstaller should have Randomizer 3 in it
Can someone help me? I have a question about modding.
I'm having trouble completing the Trail of the Fool in Hollow Knight and I had enough of it. I was wondering if I can use a Mod for invulnerability and still get the achievement after completing it?
If anybody can confirm this or not then ping me, please!
debug mod on the modinstaller
if you're in steam itll work but on GoG you're kinda fucked cause it will not allow you to get the achievments
Yes I play the Steam version will I still get the achievement?
yes
it's also very streamlined, it wont fuck up your save, it's as simple as clicking the cheats button and selecting what you want, etc.
and you can always revert back to unmodded after
So I install the modinstaller and then what is this debug mod?
the installer will give you a list of mods, just hit install on "debug mod" then launch the game
It will install on its own and nothing else after I have to do?
I just want the invulnerability for the trail and the switch it off.
Will using hollow knight mods bar me from collecting steam achievements?
no
Okay, so I can still get the achievements on steam if I wanted to use custom knight
epic
@lavish hare are you on catalina?
It’s in pinned messages
Look at the channel's description
ah im a dumbass
its says i need the newest stable version to run but steam has no update for it
i have 1.4.3.2
ah works now had the wrong directory
Do i need to do anything special before or while downloading the modinstaller?
where is mod...?
do you mean the mod installer?
yes
check the pins or channel description
i just downloaded the installer everything works. but when i want to go back to vanilla hollow knight the mod manager says it is unable to locate vanilla hollow knight. what do i do
where did you get hollow knight?
steam
go to steam. Right click on Hollow Knight. Go to properties. Go to local files. Then click verify integrity of game files, and wait for it to finish redownloading
aight thanks, what will happen to my save files tho?
nothing
alright thanks bro
what's your problem?
my friend bought the game, and he shares the steam account with me, i was able to install mods, but suddenly whenever i install the modinstaller my game is in russian, i can't change the language, my saves disappear, i can't create a new save, nothing works , does anyone know the solution?
What mods do you have installed?
usually used custonknight, debug mod and hpbars
Anything else?
I remember that before that happened I had installed several mods, the main ones were: lightbrindger etc.
ok, which mods have you turned on?
I will make a list please wait
custon knight, hpbar, lightbrindger, elderbug god, grimmschild upgrades,fragille strength for nail arts and I think only those
ok, have you tried verifying the files yet? that's the only thing that I can think of other than trial and error with the mods to find out which ones are the problems
uninstalled the mods by the files, but the modinstaller is still giving an error
use steam
ok
...
I opened the game and it changed from Russian to English, but still nothing works
try navigating to your saves
the files or the game?
files
@grave girder yeah i found it sitting there, thanks for the help!
the saves are stored in appdata
ok
type %appdata%
ok
then go out of that subfolder and go to locallow

yes
try copying everything to a safe place, then delete it from the folder
the stuff for saves are stuff that starts with user
do I delete them now?
after you have copied them somewhere else
try starting hollow knight and make a new save
I already did, but whenever I put the modinstaller again it happens, I'll try to delete all the files, okay?
try it and don't use the mod installer until you know you can make a new game
if i don't put the mod installer the game goes back to normal
I don't know what to do, sorry
okay, sorry for the inconvenience
It's fine
@novel bronze yes
@lavish hare Did you use the ModInstaller 2 in the pins?
Hello, I am brand new to modding and was wondering if there is a place to see all 1.2.2.1 compatible mods? Specifically I was trying to get Custom Knight to work, and I couldn't figure it out. I don't know what I was doing wrong.
i assume you used the modinstaller and read the pins? @lethal onyx
I used the mod installer, but it only worked for current patch, unless I missed how to use it for 1.2.2.1 or I am just messing up.
Can’t use mod installer for 1.2.2.1
I have been trying manually, but I get FAILED TO LOAD so maybe you just can't. Dang :/
hmm
Why can’t you use the most recent version of hollow knight?
speedrunning?
I can, but I am learning any% nmg and wanted to use a new skin while I practiced.
Ok
So I was trying to set it up and couldn't but since I was new I thought I would ask here. I got it to work on current patch no problem.
hmm, doesn't QoL mod re-enables the glitches used in speedrunning? so you can go to current patch and practice there
Thank you! And I don't know, but I will check it out @night sail
On old patch I still get failed even with the old dll, and when I try to find the ModLog it opens the assembly c# file. I do not know what I am looking for when combing through it. I apologize because I am not trying to be a nuisance, but I would like to know if I am doing something wrong or if it is just not possible. Thank you all for your help!
hello im hoping someone could give me a link do download a debug menu to practice speed running with?
Nevermind I found it thank
I'm trying to revert back to unmodded (pc) but after I try to, the launcher says to verify integrity of game files and reopen the launcher, after I do that it still says the same thing about the game files, anyone know how to help?
just verify game file integrity through steam and don't open the installer
verifying the files makes it vanilla again
ok i'll try that
anyone know if it's a lot of work to get debug mod working on Linux?
Haven’t tried it, but I do run Linux on my laptop, I use Ubuntu, you?
@desert fog try scrolling through the hotkey list. i don't remember the default button, but it's somewhere there
What's the name of the mod that some randomizer streamers use that shows them the progress of the game they dont so far? for example, showing the items they collected or which upgrades they have
Hey, anybody know if the Radiance mod thingy works on a Mac?
anyone know how to install HK multiplayer mod by Jngo102?
Is there a way to properly view the changelog for the Charm Overhaul mod?
I need help, as I said before, my game was pirated and I wanted mods and I thought it worked, now that I bought the game how do I do it ??
Install the modinstaller and locate the directory
but I directed before the pirate before having the game itself
So, to edit assets in Hollow Knight, do you use UnityEX?
Have you tried running it as Admin?
No. I'll try that. Thanks
If I install AK-47 mod I will start game from beggining?

i have a problem where i still have the infinite notches mod even though i unistalled all mods
can someone help me pls
Haven’t tried it, but I do run Linux on my laptop, I use Ubuntu, you?
@hybrid rain turns out it was pretty easy but couldn't find the required "DebugMod.dll" in the DebugMod github repo, so I just followed the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-aCaVTAUtc using the "universal" Modding API was also necessary, but works like a charm now!
This is a video explaining all the setup that is recommended before starting Hollow Knight speedruns. Please view the rest of this description for links and timestamps to skip through the video. Sorry if I'm talking very slowly. Try watching at 1.25x speed.
Nice!
Yeah, I’ll have to try that out! Been looking at getting into modding at some point too
Works on my debian Jessie laptop, and by some miracle on the ancient LFS install on my desktop as well 0.0
Lol, epic!
Only had it working for like 5min and already highly recommend, lol.
I asked in the randomizer channel too, but I figured I should ask here too. I tried updating my randomizer mod and now my game softlocks when my character tries to pick up an item. I'm just stuck crouching. Anyone know what might be doing this?
enemy randomizer readme mentions settings but i dont know where to find them, can someone help?
I can never remember how to fix that J3Xtrom. It's a Monomod issue with your version of the API. Maybe @glass meteor knows what to do
nvm the enemy randomizer options were hidden on the bottom of the settings screen
I'll try updating other stuff and see if that might fix it
Where can I find the Knight's sprites? In which sharedassets file?
Got it
The mod thing in the corner was literally yelling at me to update the API. Should have taken that as a hint lmao
aight so i got the mod installer thingy right...and then i installed enemy hp bars and art mods and now the language is like bug language and i cant see what im doing
uninstall art mods
it's a shitpost that breaks your game
idk why it's on the installer anyway tbh
anyone know where that thing is even, where you can find the Knight's sprites?
So I'm trying randomizer for the first time and am running into 2 problems, first, do you always start with wings and crystal heart? I've started three runs and each time had them in my starting inventory. Also, how do you close this command window thats appeared in the top right of my screen?
Nevermind on the console, figured it out
you can change starting items in one of the options on right hand side when you start new game iirc
I usually turn off starting items, but I think there's a random option too
random starting items lets you start randomizer in places like the abyss
well, there's separate random starting location and random starting items
I usually do random starting location but no starting items
you can pick your starting location, those marked red are only avaible when you start with random items
... right... but there's also a random starting location option that is available even with no starting items. The logic for it factors it in when placing items
Like, you
*you'll always be placed somewhere where you can access the next movement item needed to start accessing other stuff, and so on
yes, thats why not all starting areas are avaible without random starting items
@inner drum are you on Linux
nah windows, but I fixed it by getting the updated API
Is there a randomizer version/options in the randomizer that don't require benchwarping?
i guess that whenever you get softlocked you could just die
In the base game, you can simply quit to the menu to return to your last bench.
If you don't want to use benchwarp, don't save where you can't get back to your starting location
I know that in the past there was a version of rando that had the constraints set so that you didn't need to bench warp
Where can i get Custom knight mod?
Pins
The randomizer has always required save and quit
Read
it's in mod installer?
Yes
k ty
how do i install it lmao
i got the zip im dumb
do i rename it to an .exe?
wait nvm im mentally disabled lmao
Check the pins
can i use mods on mac
do i need to keep the mod installer open for it to work
i used debug and messed around with things on my main save file, apparently using moth cloak summons tiso so i want to know how to reverse all the debug things i did and make it normal
please help
i left without saving and i think its gone
i dont know yet
is there a way i can check if it is still there
i havent gotten to the moth wing part yet btw
im new
um if you havent gotten to the mothwing cloak and the problem is still there i suggest you make a file and leave mods alone until you are familiar with the game
do you think its gone since i left without saving
Starting a new save file would be the easiest way to get rid of any effects from debug
would it not?
I mean deleting the save file you used debug on, and starting a new one.
i used my main thats the problem
yeah messing with debug when you are new is not the best idea
i got the 'more saves' mod and i can't figure out how to get to page 2 on the saves page
If your main has not reached Mothwing you have only fought 1 or maybe 2 bosses
anyone know how
[ and ]
thanks!
if you are concerned about damage to your save file, just restart, if you don't care enough to restart, then don't worry about it
i think it isnt too bad i guess now tiso is down in depths somewhere
or leaving without saving worked
thanks anyway
i not sure why you were using mods in the first place since you are new
i got it really only for the hp bar
People be like that dylan, he won't be the first or the last
People be out here not caring
i do care about the story
its whatever i guess
i just wanted to see what the moves were like
thats why i came here in the first place to not mess up story
mmhmm
whatever
and i have it on
i said i was messing with it
i just joined this server and now im getting laughed at
great
anyway do you need any more questions about installing HK mods
no
ok dismissed
thanks for the pepega reactions
rude
i thought this server would be nice and now im getting laughed at for literally no reason except that the other persn didnt understand me
welcome to social media
please read channel description thanks
all, i can't start the game after installing randomizer v3. the game just shows progress bar at the start and completely closed itself after 100% progress bar. OS: win10 1909 (18363.836). the game is not on the default C drive. but I adjusted this to the correct folder during the modinstaller process. am i missing something here? any help is appreciated.
do you have the dependencies installed (e.g. seanprcore)
I can't figure out where/how to use the doubevessel.dll file to do twin vessels, I'm tryna get the skin
I've installed the file, not sure what to do with it
how did you install it
uh discord pins for this channel
once you've downloaded, opened, choose installation path, and it opens to the mod list, hit "manually install mods" it will ask you to choose a file, choose the doublevessel.dll
i did install seanprcore
can you drop your modlog
perfect, now I just open the game again?
how do i do that?
yeah you're all set, it's made to run with QoL however
so maybe install qol too
should be at Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
also, are you using a controller
nah I'm on mkb
not you, youre all set
got it thanks
enjoy
if you're controller though @indigo ingot literally just unplug controller, launch, wait til you get to title screen, then plug in, no modlog needed at that point
like I see the mod text at the top left at the game
godhome like normal
yeah once you hit that screen you can just plug it back in

guys how do i get the mod for gun mode
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
it's "hollow point"
the gun mode?
what version of mac do you have
latest
use the one in the pins
it's not malware
it needs to modify the hollow knight installation
how do you find the new bosses in indie crossover?
Has anyone found a way to make custom knight take priority over lightbringer?
i use the catalina installer so I can't view the readme
ah ok
nothing new to the right of the bench?
yes
send your modlog
weird it just shows the ModCommon loading up
very
maybe because after it didn't work i verified the file integrity in steam
yes, that's why
Hi guys, does Custom knights works on 1221?
Read the pins
Oh It's a mod for the actual patch?
can I change the attack speed of the mantis lords in the mod 'Mantisgods'? I like the challenge, but I find it lacking in flow. I want to bring the speed back so I can stand on the ground again, maybe even bring back the original attacks. Is that possible? If so, what code do I need to change?
Which file has the Knight's sprites, please?
Sekiro skin please 
Hello
Someone help me?
The custom mod hollow knight only works on the original steam hollow knight?
Because I have the pirate
You can’t mod pirated hollow knight
Afaik no
Hello guys. Is there an Easy Mod?
no but there is debug mod which can give you invincibility and increase nail strength
I don't want invincibility, just make the game slightly easy...
I heard about Bonfire Mod
Is that the "best one" to make it slighty easier?
the game isnt too hard you just gotta practice
the game is made to be slightly challenging
just giving insight
@umbral crypt yea it should
enemy health does scale as you level up but not enough to make leveling useless
Hey, does anyone know of controller issues on mac? I'm using an 8bitdo sn30 pro +, steam picks it up as a PS4 controller, and it works in other games. I currently have the modding_api installed, but I can't find how to uninstall it to test if it is an issue with that
(and I've gone into mod installer and uninstalled everything)
I tried what it says in pins (although I am using bluetooth, not a cable)
update: i have now tried it with a cable, same results
Please ping me if you have any advice for me 🙂
I downloaded the mod selector but I think the game got broken for some reason
uhhhhhh
The song doesn't play and the Mods tab is broken
how is the mods tab broken
I open it, no mods appear and I can't go back
I tried to unmod from the ModInstaller itself but it says it can't find the vanilla Hollow Knight
ive never seen a single mod appear there but you should be able to go back by hitting escape
it didn't work
