That’s what it’s supposed to do
That means that it detected that it was modded and it will now revert to un modded
sullen patio
So I assume one of the files from the mod installer just glitched the whole thing?
wheat orchid
Idk what went wrong
sullen patio
Well anyway, thanks for the help
wheat orchid
Isn’t someone else supposed to come in here and say np?
sullen patio
oh lol it fixed but then I downloaded again and it didn't work
I think the binding mod itself is causing this
wheat orchid
Well, trial and error is what’s best in this situation
sullen patio
I've tested for a while now and for some reason Gradow's ModInstaller isn't working anymore
it used to, but now whenever I download a mod it just breaks the game
the only thing I can do now is wait until someone with more modding skill comes to help me

Whenever I download ModInstaller it says they cannot locate vanilla Hollow Knight
Even without any mods
Is there a way for me to backup the gameplay files directly and then reinstall the game?
west bane
are you steam (actually dont think that matters lol)
sullen patio
yes
west bane
copy paste this into your search bar %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ backup the user#.dat
it's cloud based but if you wanna feel safety in backing up manually go ahead
sullen patio
so these things?
sullen patio
what about the others
west bane
those are just backups
sullen patio
o
hold up, checking the backup folder and deleting mod stuff actually fixed my ModInstaller issue LMAOOO

Hello i have a dumb question does the mod installer update it self automaticly if new mods or new versions of a mod come out?
elfin jasper
yes
When you launch it, it connects to the internet to retrieve the list of mods, and if any of your installed mods have been updated, you will get a prompt asking if you want to update

does the randomizer 3 mod make 100%+ impossible? I'm stuck at 99, got all masks, vessels, charms, nail upgrades, dream bosses, regular bosses, beat both HK and Radiance (separate kills / endings), got the 2400 essence & talked to seer, beat all 3 trials
(etc)
all spell upgrades, you name it
Delivered the flower
Only things I have not done: white palace (has a simple key that gets me some junk item from the godseeker)
And stuff irrelevant to % anyway (like Journal, which also seems impossible since bluggsacs are eliminated)
elfin jasper
You need the simple key at King Fragment, and the item at Godtuner
The percentage in randomizer is based on the total number of randomized pickups you've obtained

Hello, I'm new here. I play Hollow Knight in a Mac with the 64bit build because muh Catalina, and I want to install mods. I've tried to install the mod installer with the WineBottler, but when I try and install the mod installer an error pops up. What should I do?

I'm almost never active on this server and the last time I checked on it was like a couple months ago, so I have a question involving mods. I know there wasn't any ability to do so last time I asked, but I want to know if there is a way to make the enemy randomizer less... "memey". I'm specifically calling out when bosses replacing random enemies and either absolutely wrecking me by surprise (looking at you enraged crystal guardian) or just straight up not letting me go into a room (looking at you collector). I want to add variety to my playthroughs without having to deal with overpowered enemy replacements, squished/tiny enemies or boss spawns as regular enemies (at all). have tamer randomizations been added as an option to the randomizer yet, or as a different submod?

Someone can help me ?

Have you bought the game on steam?

when do you plug in your computer
@sleek tiger are you asking me?
keen garnet
Doesn't Modinstaller prompt you to select the folder yourself after the warning appears?
sleek tiger
@novel bronze yeah
novel bronze
what do you mean?
sleek tiger
do you plug it in before or after you've started up the game
keen garnet
@modest ledge So after you click ok, the ModInstaller closes completely?
If yes: is there a folder "ModInstaller" in %appdata%/.../Local?
keen garnet
If you open it and the one within it etc, and open the file user.config with a text editor, what path does it say in there?
Line 11 /14/17

The default path

@sleek tiger i tried after and it still doesn't work (i use bluetooth btw)

Hi
Im on ubuntu, so do I have to install this software called Mono then use the same .exe file as windows?

I use controller and the only problem I've ever had was if I've been playing for a while already, and try to change skins, sometimes the sprite will just become invisible. when that happens I have no choice but to turn off the game, but I don't need to do anything else to fix it.

Anyone know where the guide for manual installation is?

how to i import that HK skins? theres a custome holloe knight mod in the mod installer, don't know how to use it-

mmmmmmmmmmmmm... theres an uninstall button? i feel like i am completely missing something lol-

im usinf the first link on the pinned messages, im looking through all the contents off it and cant find anything, it might be because im using a mac though-
ignore my spelling errors, im not completely awake yet-

Did you download a skin from the pinned messages?

yeah, the first one, since its the only one that workd for me

Open the zip and create a folder called CustomKnight in the mods folder, then create another folder with all the files inside and name it

the sprites themselves are pinned in #modding-discussion
they are here too, so nevermind that

i have the skins already downloaded- well, like 30 skins-

hi. just a quick question - all of the mods listed with mod installer are installed in current version, yes? I was trying to confirm it for Hollow Point but I can't seem to find it's version number on it's github, nor information about it being a beta - which is listed in the installer

Hollow Point doesnt have a ver number I think and it doesnt matter

At one point I guess I was either playing with Debug mod or Bonfire mod and increased my damage a whole bunch, I verified the game through steam because I wanted to play normally again by my nail damage still oneshots every boss, is there a way to revert this or is my legitimate file destroyed because I did that on another file
torpid harbor
Enemy Rando doesn't work either now i can choose options but its not randomized

Hello gamers I have a question about the item randomizer
version 3
Are all of the categories of items (upgrades, charms, rancid eggs etc) that you select in settings all randomized in a single pool?
Or are upgrades only found in the locations of other upgrades, charms in the locations of other charms and stuff like that
real jacinth
Same pool

when I use modinstaller2 it never asked where the hk files were and there are no options to apply anything just a button that says button. Is this what it's meant to do? I'm guessing not but idk
stoic forge
im trying to revert to unmodded by pressing the revert to unmodded button on the api. It told me to verify the integrity of the files and relaunch the api, so i did that in steam and it told me to do the same thing again?
do i have to manually hit disable/uninstall on each mod?
manually unistalling each mod worked nevermind
stoic forge
so i installed the custom PK skin but the kings brand symbol isn't showing up when i have full soul?
this is from my game
and this is from the document
i even renamed the file that had the png to without the version 1 in the title?
(do i need to take version 2 out of the folder?)

can anyone assist?

What does the folder contents look like?
The file with the brand should be called OrbFull

I think you have to make the folder yourself
novel bronze
in what directory though?
grave girder
@novel bronze The only recent update to Enemy Randomizer was to fix compatibility with Rando 3 and fix some of the game breaking issues (such as the Collector issue you mentioned and replaced bosses not dropping items). I do not believe there are currently options to prevent normal enemies from being replaced with bosses or appearing squashed.
novel bronze
ok
grave girder
@torpid harbor For your Enemy Rando issue, have you made sure to click the "Load Enemy Randomizer" button in the top left corner of the main menu? If not, click it and wait for the load to finish (the menu background will flash between different scenes), then the enemies should be randomizer for you
I can look into adding options to prevent common enemies from being bosses when I eventually get around to the next update though
novel bronze
@novel bronze the directory should be: ~/hollow_knight.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods (if Mods isn't there make it inside Managed)
also did you download mono32?

is it the mono project
and hollow_knight.app is found by right clicking hollow knight in steam then properties then browse local files.
not sure what the mono project is

Ooookay, hello hello modding community!!
So, I'll cut to the chase. Pantheon of the Sage has kicked my ass too much.
time for gun.
I already know about the mod installer program, but my only questions are:
A) Is Hollow Point available in that menu of mods, or do I install it a different way?
B) How likely is it to possibly corrupt my save file if I uninstall a mod?
In fact, is it even safe to uninstall the mod installer after installing it period?
trail flint
Uhhh if you wanna make it easier id rather just recommend using debug mod
but yeah to answer 1. its available in the installer 2. ive tested it and made sure its easily new game and save game compatible for both uninstallation or not
that said you should always backup your save files regardless
mod installer only changes one file which you can easily recover with verifying the game integrity, once you run that and replace that file back to vanilla again, you shouldnt have mods at all

can you mod for switch? i know that it is usually proof to most changes, but curious if you know any ways

then make a folder called CustomKnight then another folder inside that one and name it whatever you want

vanilla game works fine, but when i just install the mod loader, and turn the game on, it gets weird. theres no music, despite the volume being turned all the way up, and mods dont seem to load at all. not to mention the save files just say loading and do nothing else
ive tried both uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and mod loader and nothing changed
real jacinth
what do you mean nothing
plain dagger
on the top left it normally shows what mods i have turned on, but its not doing it now

that video is probably outdated. and the multiplayer mod is not complete

the unityplayer.dll file is where it normally is

so I have ModCommon.dll and ModCommon.GlobalSettings. which one do I delete ?
plain dagger
steam > steamapps > common > hollowknight is where its supposed to be correct?

oh right I think I see them

where what is supposed to be

the unityplayer.dll file

oh

The JSON files ?

Now I have to enable the mod and it'll download it again ?

jolly grove
oh ok thanks

hmmm ill try it lets see what came out
real jacinth
do you have anything installed in there?
plain dagger
no. every mod in uninstalled

so then your game won't be modded

i know that. im talking about the mod installer itself
i can try and install a mod and see if anything happens
im gonna try that real quick
i tried it and nothing changed
real jacinth
meaning....
plain dagger
meaning it still acts like before, where theres no music and it just doesnt seem to work
real jacinth
no mods listed top left? of title?
real jacinth
did you close your game when you clicked buttons in the installer
plain dagger
i usually close it then mess with the installer so i guess so
real jacinth
okay. next step is to do what I told slazac to do
delete your ModdingAPI.globalsettings.json

hey um...it immedietly ran into another issue. when i try and install a mod it works but when i click ok, i get this.
real jacinth
plain dagger
real jacinth
I just re-run the installer when that happens for me
plain dagger
i did that. i even reinstalled it but i guess i can try it again
im gonna validate my files and redo the installer and see if that does anythin
real jacinth
it's not the mod
it's the installer not connecting to the mod directory
to download them
happened for like.... 4 different mods for me the other day
randomizer, load normalizer, etc
plain dagger
ive never had so many issues with it until the other day, and ive no idea what i did to cause all this
so i tried reinstalling the mod loader itself and i got the same message
and now all it says is manually
misty valve
it keeps telling me incorrect instalation path but i dont know what the correct one is anyone know
real jacinth
where's your game
plain dagger
real jacinth
if it just says manually, you probably gave it the wrong game file location
plain dagger
it didnt even ask me for one
real jacinth
and your game is wherever you installed it
novel bronze
can someone help me ?

how
plain dagger
ok, to say what happens in specific. i click the installer, it says its installed, then the message i sent earlier pops up. if i click continue, it pops up the screen of manual that i put earlier
real jacinth
real jacinth
I cant read that
novel bronze
oh ...
plain dagger
i fixed it by doing what you told me to do earlier thank you
novel bronze
should i copy paste the files on the right folder to the left folder?
and just put the mods in the folder mods?
real jacinth
yes
novel bronze
Did Redwing stop working since when I load it up all the other mods are at the top left but Redwing is just completely gone, no UNKNOWN or FAILED TO LOAD!
covert oasis
i think i know what's going on actually
i don't think that's a normal install path unless that's how GoG handles it
novel bronze
I think it might be pirated.
real jacinth
they said in speedrunning chat that they originally had the pirate copy
covert oasis
oh
real jacinth
just delete that version

if you installed the game thru steam, then the game got installed where steam installs it

but i cant select the folder
it tells me to select the mod file
oh wait

i may have to clear the modisntaller data no?
Did Redwing stop working since when I load it up all the other mods are at the top left but Redwing is just completely gone, no UNKNOWN or FAILED TO LOAD!
misty valve
so which one of these should i use for the modinstaller
novel bronze
Probably the first
Im on Mac so I wouldn’t know
@misty valve just checked, it’s hollow_knight
misty valve
it didnt show up for me
novel bronze
Either Managed, Mono or Resources
misty valve
it says its invalid

misty valve
wait i got it
novel bronze
im getting an error that tell me to contact a developer what should i do?
fair ibex
contact a developer
plain dagger
aaaaand now its stopped working again
even though the files i was told to delete earlier are deleted and that seemed to work fine before it doesnt now
oh this problem is new
theres a modding api winrar file in steam > steamapps > common > hollowknight and when i try and open it it says the archive is damaged. i redownloaded the installer and everything. you know what? fuck it ill deal with it later

has the rando map logic been updated enough to keep track with the "cursed" option for the item rando. its been a long time since i played and there has been a lot of updates (which is awesome and i cant believe the focus ability is randomized too, the pain)
grave girder
While I have not tested it directly with Cursed, Rando Map Mod currently references the helper log to update the map, so it should keep synced with whatever Rando 3 expects to be accessible at any time.
If you do run into issues with it on Cursed, please let me know so I can take a look at it ^_^

Fixed it with randomizer 3; never mind

does anybody else get a harsh framerate drop when using the unofficial patch? I get it when shadow dashing (with sharp shadow)
not a big deal and disabling the mod seems to have fixed it, just curious

so I want to add mods to my 1221 HK and I am wondering what I do if i want a custom knight since in the folder there doesnt seem to be a 1221 version, do the mods that dont have a older versions to them only work in CP?

okay. so installer 1 should be fine. just move the app to your desktop and run it from there
brazen obsidian
Installer 1? .w.
real jacinth
brazen obsidian
Ohhh this one
I already ran it, but
It looks like mono is having trouble downloading :c
real jacinth
did you move the app to your desktop?
and you can just google mono
and download it yourself
brazen obsidian
Will it not work if I don't move it to desktop?

the mod installer when i try to go back to unmodded says it cant find vanilla hollow knight. what should i do?

Did you get hollow knight on steam?

How do I navigate the hollow knight data folder on mac? :c
I want to insert a skin pack for custom knight, but the browse local files section only shows the .exe ;-;
Pretty please? ;w;

you don't need to take off full screen

gray fog
hey, um
im tryna do the enemy randomizer
i downloaded the mod manager by gradow, and installed the mod, but it aint working
covert oasis
did you click "Load enemy randomizer"
gray fog
is that in game or in the mod installer
covert oasis
in-game on the main menu
gray fog
ok ill look
ok that just completely destroyed my hollow knight
i clicked on it
and
just
shifting screens
covert oasis
a bit
covert oasis
it's going through all the rooms changing enemy placements
gray fog
oh
that makes sense
i shouldnt start a new game then
or load any other saves
cause it will mess it up wont it
covert oasis
i don't know but i wouldn't load any old saves
gray fog
i wont
covert oasis
you should always back up your saves before modding anyways
gray fog
forgot to do that but its fine
if i can beat the game once i can beat it again
it would just give me a chance to replay it
although how will i know when its working?

How can i put a hollow knight skin for custom knight into my hollow knight files on mac? i can't seem to locate them

How should I update my ModInstaller? I have the older version and I tried to open it and it creates a new file called AU.exe (standing for auto updater) but I cannot open either file. Should I just delete it and reinstall?
real jacinth
Yes
summer ember
Will there be any issues with doing that since my Hollow Knight File Directory is already modified by the old version or will it figure everything out on it's own?
real jacinth
No

Yup

Howdy! I'm here to ask a question or two.
I'm working on creating my own spritesheets for the Custom Knight mod, which is fine and dandy, but I'm wondering if it has support for Nosk?
And if so, are the images in Knight.png?
wheat orchid
if you mean the sprites of nosk when you are going through the tunnel to the boss room, then those are the same sprites as the knight. if you mean the boss spritesheet, I don't think that custom knight supports that
swift flume
Gross. Alright, just wondering.

Is there anyway to mod Mac?
fair ibex
yes, just use the mac version of modinstaller and be sure to move it out of downloads before you run it
because for some reason it doesn't work if you run it from downloads

for mac, i can't get custom knight to work. I can't find the location for where to put the skin

Where would I find the Mac version?

in the pinned messages

So I downloaded the mod installer but when I check the steam files for the Mods folder I can't find it. I didn't pirate the game.
where am I supposed to find it>
?
nevermind I'm an idiot who can't read sometimes
novel bronze
@winged ermine in steam, right click hollow knight and clicl browse local files then right click the .exe and select Show Package Contents then follow this path ~/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods
Then make a folder called CustomKnight
And another folder inside CustomKnight and call it whatever you want
Then put all the skin files in the folder inside CustomKnight

I can’t find the thing I’m supposed to delete to fix modinstaller
I checked the pins, but I can’t find the ModInstaller folder

trail lichen
what do I substitute for the dots?
swift flume
On Windows, you basically just remove the dots.
%appdata% takes you to ..\AppData\Roaming
So just click AppData and select Local instead.

mystic goblet
I have a doubt. I bought the Hollow Knight on Switch, and since I liked it so much I decided to play it on PC, but on PC I downloaded it pirate. The problem I have is that Modinstaller does not let me have mods in the pirated version of PC, is there any way to be able to have mods in the pirated version that I downloaded or do I have to buy the official version on steam? Sorry if I did not express myself well but English is not my native language.

youll have to buy it, sorry

anyone know were i can find the old custom knight mod for 1221?
novel bronze

also it said cagney carnation didn't load but fennel and propeller knight are working
are fennel and propeller knight just on another bosses statues?
That's weird
Fennel and Propeller Knight's statues should be directly to the right of the bench in HoG and cagney should be between soul warrior and soul master
it goes directly to soul warrior for me
Try reinstalling the mod
i did that twice
still won't work
I'll see if I can replicate the error
What os are you on?

@novel bronze just tried the custom night mod (old) and i got this
and ideas on what i should do fix it?
novel bronze
it might be because I built the mod using version 1432 as a reference instead of 1221
glad holly
is there anyway that this could get fixed?
novel bronze
I'd have to download 1221 and rebuild it which is effort
glad holly
I understand how long do you think it would take? how hard do you think it would be for someone like me to do it?
novel bronze
if you have a C# ide it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes
glad holly
i am down to do it but not sure how it works
so i would appreciate a quick tutorial or somehting
like a link on how it works would be fine
novel bronze
I think I'll just try to do it
glad holly
ok do let me know if you cant be asked as i understand and ill just look into it. But really appreciate all the help and work you have put into your mods

why are you trying to mod on your first run-through?
and I know you had the cracked version
that's not the issue here

why are you trying to mod it, then?
I'm pretty sure you can't just get the custom knight skins
I believe there is a process for getting Custom Knight skins on the actual game

@fair ibex Sorry for asking but which folder are you referring to?

so like say if you're trying double vessel, you would put DoubleVessel.dll in Mods

i just beat the double vessel today sent it in but im still waiting for it to be reviewed

show the entire folder path

hollow_knight_data > Managed >Mods >Customknight>skins folders
Is there a better way to show the folder path?

for some reason my skin folders are also in that folder path
maybe it copies them over or something
does it not work for you?

Wdym also in that path
