can have help with installing debug mode?
For some reason, my shade has 3000 health and whenever i get it to around 2600 the game crashes. help?
how do u install debug
mod installer

also can you help me
how does the multiplayer mod work
watch fireb0rn's video tutorial or smth
okay
My shade has like 3000 health and it crashes whenever i deal around 300-500 damage, help?
oh
i looked up the determining factor, and i had tried messing around with debugmod damage, didn't work. now i see why
Can anyone tell me how to get the Pale King custom skin that Fireb0rn showed in his video I do not think it is in any of the drive pinned files.
@vagrant stratus Thank you! I had not checked the pins of modding discussion.

@vagrant stratus Wait do I really need to complete the pantheon of the master with all bindings again to have the skin?
No, you just need to do one of the 3 challenges and submit you doing it to get the skin
Welp, time to start recking the pantheon again.
Glhf
Lol, you can do it!
is noclip bound to a kezboard key?
its kinda inconvenient to open up the menu each time
you can sometimes accidentially bind it

Check the pins and the channel's description
pls help i sometimes when i play hk i turns both screens black but music still plays pls help
um so like it has an error and wont allow me to download mods ?
its not with mod i asked in hk offtopic and they sent me here but no mods
I was talking to hollow one

Also what I mean by too many programs is a couple programs that use a lot of memory
Just go to your saves
And look for folders inside the saves folder
wdym my saves
wats dat like the save file in game
hey whats the mod that gives you a mod menu in game?
Prob talking about debug
no there was another one it showed everything from grubs to geo like in the pause screen
BingoUI?
Are mods good?
I'm planning on beating pantheon of hollownest first tho
Then play my non existent new pantheon mod
does anyone know how to get the gun mod?
ok, thanks
I cant find the mod installer for mac. I checked previous versions however i didnt know how to install
i am new here and i need help plz :c
my mod installer delete himself when i open it
i can do anything? :c
if you're on mac, have you removed it from downloads?
I know this might not have anything to do with modding, but i don't think this is a normal hk issue. I played a bunch of redwing, and I got to godhome with all of the upgraded stuff. Now, I download the daughters of hallownest and mantis gods a couple of hours later, to see what happens if i fight them, and guess what? Save's gone. Well, what I mean by that, is that the save has reverted back to before this session.
I don't know exactly what to say, but that was around 6 hours of progress.
If I can't get that back, i'm just downloading debug and cheating my way to the stuff I had before
even though i do not want to
the mod installer will not launch is there a reason for this and what should I do?
yeah modinstaller has been breaking for alot of people
if push comes to shove you can manually install the api and install the dll's
try deleting and redownloading the installer. or resetting, as described in pins
I had to redownload it
Hi there, I need some help with modding because I'm... bad. First, am I allowed to post images here?
Yes
So right now I have a separate folder with these, though I might be missing something called ModdingAPI
I just downloaded that top file since that said it's Randomizer 3.0 though I'm not sure if it's by the same people.
You should use the randomizer mod from the modinstaller
Could you direct me to that?
?i

Oh thank you, I didn't know this was a thing, that'll make it all much easier
hey guys, i need help.
i want to know how do you guys call the 35 sculptures in the workshop in Godhome, like nick name or something
real quick, is the Gun mod on the modinstaller? I don't see it
It should
Mod is called Hollow Point
Thanks!
noone ever gets the pun 😔
hey ı want to ınstall mod ınstaller but im playin hollow knight on xbox gamepas how can ı solve it ?
buy the game on steam / gog
ok thx
for some reason the mod installer installer isn't working? this is the second time this week and it comes up with this error, i'm gonna redownload it again but is there anyway i can prevent this in the future
wait, there's a new version, should i be using that..?
probably idk
why does my PC keep sayin the modinstaller link has a virus
everything on my PC says it does
How can I install the glass soul mod? I tried doing it manually and the game just didnt load. Using steam version
i am also having the issue where the mod installer isnt working
Are you able to delete that file (C:\temp\readme.md) and try again? I've found reinstalling the installer works just as well and fixes it.
oh that worked awesome thanks
@novel bronze because it’s from an unverified developer
It works fine
oh ok
How can I install the glass soul mod? I tried doing it manually and the game just didnt load. Using steam version
@ionic latch because Glass Soul is an outdated mod
You need to downpatch to the latest supported version for it
I think there’s a guide to doing that
ok thanks!
There's a guide or two on speedrun .com for general downpatching, though you'd have to look for what glass soul's latest supported version is to find the right patch
is there any reason to why pale champion doesnt show up when you start a new godmaster save?
yeah he works on my main save
Pale Champion is a she
she*
I'll have to see, I dont remember putting any checks like that on pc.
does someone know what I did wrong with bingoUI
like, why is it white
turns out ModInstaller did not download stuff properly, downloading modcommon again fixed it
oh yeah it worked when i reloaded it thx

There's a mod called NG+ (King's Pass) on the modinstaller, the descriptions page doesn't say anything about it. Also, I would like to know what Elderbug God does, as it just says "Elderbug is a cool guy."
it makes elderbug attack you if you dont talk to him
its a joke but i just told you the punchline so it kinda just ruins it
oh
i talked to him so i don't get that, huh
well
i still got my not-saved save file from yesterday
tbh I didn't really like blackmoth, so I'm gonna turn that off, even tho it says use it
actually, i'm gonna use bonfire mod with redwing
@winged fossil Can you use the debug mod to give yourself kingsoul?
On the absolute radiance no nail fight
not with debug cause it will cost 0 notches, ther's a save in there that i included the 5 cost kingssoul
Me too
just check the rules and see what it says
so i was using debug mod and messing with the binds and i accidetaly binded hazard respawned to mouse 0, the mouse you use to click. so whenever i click n the menus, the game freezes. ive tried to uninstall and reinstall the mod but nothing happened
Is it just me or is finding the save files really hard? I'd just like to back up my files because I have one at like 110% and don't want to lose it.

is that supposed to be in the hk files?
Huh? My LocalLo file doesn't have Team Cherry in it.
Screenshot?
(Good point)
hey can anybody guide me to the mac mod installer?
Look in the pins
Is the mod installer supposed to set off your antivirus? Because it sure did when I ran it.
pretty common
microsoft doesn't like digitally unsigned .exe's
There a place I can find the actual mod manager in my files?
it's just the exe
It's just the modinstaller?
yes
just run it whenever you want to use it
that's it
it doesn't install anything
Oh, in that case... Thanks everyone, i'll be sure to enjoy this game even more.
Is it possible to use Lightbringer alongside CustomKnight? When I try changing the CustomKnight skin, it appears to work, but doing certain animations or moving to another room resets it to the Lightbringer knight.
I'm having some troubles (on a mac)
first of all, hollowknight just isn't creating mod folders, I tried creating my own for customknight which didn't seem to help?
and second, I'm not able to play with my controller, even if doing the advice it tells me to to fix it
also, there's a "TUTORIAL_1" in the bottom left corner of my screen
ahok
is there any good way to fix it just not creating a mods folder?
and controllers not working, it shows that I have the controller in when I go to controller settings, but it doesn't have inputs other than a screenshot button working
Are you using the mod installer?
@vernal rain That didn't work, sadly.
uh yes, the latest mac version
Also plug in the controller after you reach the main menu
So the Mac ver isn’t creating a mods folder?
Even when you install mods?
yeah
uh I'm using a wireless controller, I'll try it after everything's loaded and I'm actually in a save again but
Ok
mod folders don't get created, yeah, even after creating my own folder with the exact same titles as Customknight would have, it still doesn't work
yeah
Is there a contents folder anywhere in the hk folders?
oh wait
for some reason I had assumed it was the managed folder that's inside data, and I didn't realize the one called contents
sorry lmfao
truly
but my controller still doesn't work
I tried turning it on after even loading a save, which doesn't help either
Sorry, idk about the controller
mk
the only thing I can do with a controller is when hitting the home button, my cursor goes down
I can also turn my volume up or down by holding the home butto and going up or down on a joystick so
@warm wigeon another filepath could be Contents/Resources/Data/Managed
And then make a file called Mods there
I was able to find a working mods folder, and was just being dumb earlier
am just now trying to figure out how to use my controller for it
Also for the controller try my guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-JmFyQZciFMrNPy4rG06cFEXGsLHecmXrPd9ua3-AbE/edit?usp=sharing
It shows how to connect a controller that’s frustrating
ok I'll see if that works, thanks
Np
I found something wrong with it
What is it
the mac filepath for mods is contents/resources/data/managed/mods
the mac filepath for customknight is contents/managed/mods/customknight
mac is weird
concerning
They do?
Only from certain sources though, right?
i want to install a skin for the night from g drive help
i mean couldn't you just manually install the api and mods
Someone on my discord appearantly got the installer to work on pirated
that's weird

@fair ibex that’s the one for the Catalina Installer
Which is generally better for Macs
thanks
Np
i meant the skin folder location for customknight
I suggest using fireborn’s guide to custom knight
It’s in Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods, isn’t it?
Because on the old Installer it’s hollow_knight_data/Managed/Mods
for me it's contents/managed/mods/customknight
does the first modinstaller still work bc it doesnt seem to be opening for me
although that might just be me
lemme try reinstalling customknight and seeing if it still works
@nimble shard what operating system are you using
windows
Ok
Hmm
If that’s the case I’ll edit the doc to say (here’s an alternative filepath)
ive had this modinstaller for awhile and it just now isnt opening
Delete it
ok
Install it again
maybe like "try this filepath if the first one doesn't work" or smth
Ok
Also try resetting it if that doesn’t work
the 2nd modinstaller works so i might use that
I'm getting a lot of slowdown when playing with bonfire installed. Has anyone else encountered this?
just customknight
the first modinstaller appears in the background processes in task manager but it doesnt bring up the list of mods
the installer was updated. you have to delete it and download the new one
Arts mods
Well since you have the mod on that does that, yes
ok bc it didnt happen b4 while i had the arts mods installed
hey whenever i click the mod installer for mac i get a thing where it says "ModInstaller"cannot be opened because the develpoer cannot be verified. also is there a way to get the custom knight mods without the mod installer or no.
Right click on the file and choose open from the menu.
If that does not work (and you are sure that this app is safe) go to System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General, set 'Allow Apps etc' to 'Anywhere'. Change it back after you download this app.
yes
will another popup come up when its done?
For some reason, mod installer won't open up on my computer. Is there something I'm supposed to do before opening it now? This started yesterday.
If it's anything like the issue I had earlier today, you can try re-downloading the mod installer.
there are any other place that i can find hollow mods or its all on nexus mods ?

@fair trellis don’t use nexus mods
I think the reason the modinstaller keeps saying "ur dur u have an old game" is because of the old save files
Nope
ya thats why u ask, ok will buy on steam them
I mean, is the last thing left to try
ok, now for resetting modinstaler
as well as erasing all ghost traces of the old game
how to?
now, something that was told to do once to erase trails of old game versions/ saves idk how to put it
You don’t need to erase saves
I mean system trails/left overs
also goddammit modinstaller
it either hates me, my country, or it depends on a server that has my country banned
pls fix in next update
they hated me cause i told the truth
also is 1.4.2.4 an outdated game version?
because some files of this folder have that nuber instead
instead of 1.4.3.2
you can yeet the 1424 files and see
for some reason my modinstaller wont open now
also is it necesary for it to connect to the server?
what does offline mode is supposed to do?
I think it allows mods to be enabled/disabled and you to only manually install mods
i tried deleting the folder but it still wont open
?i

k the bot told me
if only it didn't was "you have an old version, diphead"
when I specifically got help for getting the newest version in order to mod
what files are safe to erase here? of the ones with an old version number name
Any files that are not just user1 2 3 or 4 are save to delete
alr thx that worked
I'll try that next
and since it wont connect to the server anyways I'll try it later, ofline
Ok
Hey can someone explain to me how to work the grimmchild upgrade mod?
Like how to edit the stats and colors

Ahh thank you
i've got some errors with my mod installer, i got the original game but it shows that i don't have it, it is unable to locate the game files, and the server it's not available.
nvm, got it
this isn't necessarily modding, but I am looking for the Salubra's Blessing resource files. any ideas where they would be located/how to access them?
yep
not looking to get rid of it, just looking for the actual images.
ty, bless

I've been trying to get enemy randomizer to work, and when ever I enable it breaks
it flashes to random places
OHH
nvm
My questions have Hollow knight in How do I do is release and download and dismantle the skin that Christmas?
i'm from korea So I don't know what you mean...
ok Thank you.
Download the installer - links in pins for different operating systems - and install Custom Knight
Download the christmas skin from one of the skin google drives also in pins. I believe it's in the Team White Palace one but I'm not sure
From there I think Custom Knight's readme has instructions
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VlXmvI6KT2vzsGItY2w3rHjeCFx8DN0n Christmas skin is on here
Here is the better skin stuff https://drive.google.com/open?id=16BUDS5e4_5eRId3It318OI4jCCSIZzjx
Hey! so I need some help running ModInstaller
It's been working just fine for a long time, but it just suddenly stopped working. I couldn't open it to install/uninstall any mods, and any time I did try to open it, it would instead make another file titled "AU.exe" appear (which I just found out was some form of malware)
I deleted the ModInstaller and any files that came with it including the AU.exe files (I also ran malware checks and nothing was detected) and the files in %appdata%, but any time I try to reinstall the modinstaller off of Mod DB, it comes up with this error (which has never come up before), any ideas on what to do?
I've already tried resetting the installer, resetting the computer, and doing a hard shut down. none of it has worked
Lightbringer has priority over custom knight right?
Yes
Is there any way to change this?
Try renaming the CustomKnight.dll file in your mods folder to start with something that comes after L
the custom knight mod ceaces to function correctly after doing that
so they arnt compatible
I’ll try to edit it to make it compatible
Thanks so much
I can’t tonight
Thats okay
I dont care if its done tonight, but it would be great for it to be done asap
Ok
modinstaller
what's a good one
custom knight gives you skins, a favorite of mine is blackmoth, the one Rusty was using on his stream tonight
How do I use Custom Knight?
I beat pantheon of hallownest with Redwing, so I'm gonna do a randomizer run, and I was thinking I could spice up my character a little.
#modding-discussion pins has a guide
i figured it out
although now i need to get custom skins
how do i get the zote custom skin
Thx
How do I fix this? It happens when I try to launch ModInstaller. Can't do anything with it, so I can't get any new mods, and even though I have all 4 mods I've installed turned off, one of them is still replacing my charms and I need it to not do that.
where do i get the gun mod
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
thanks for the help, i will name my first three children after you, i will make sure to marry someone just like you
zote customknight is in the first customknight gdrive link in pins
when using the online mod does the host have to have the client installed aswell?
yes
nvm figured it out thanks gamer
with the bonfire mod, is there a way to remove the popup when you are in the menu?
If you can see, the bonfire mod overlaps with the custon knight mod
is there a way to move this (maybe to the right of the menu?)
I accidently had lightbringer but that does not change anything
As you can see, lightbringer doesnt change this
fuck
when my friend opens mod installer it doesent work
it gives him this messege
"System.Runtime.InteropServices.OSPlatform'mscorlib,Version=4.0.0.0.Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 Cannot install"
can anyone help him?
no ? ok
Just a comment, not helpful, but did you know you can mix and match customKnight sprite sheets? I'm currently using an Infected Knight sheet with the Radiance Hatchling, and I previously used StaryKnight with VoidHud
I thought that was interesting
yeah you can
you can also mix and match different sheets so that some animations are one skin and different animations are another
and with an editing program yoh can mix sheets themselves and take, say, only the spells from one skin and put them on another
Can someone help me getting the randomizer to work
When I start it I just softlock here https://puu.sh/Gb8Kn/16e151796b.png
Randomizer 3 btw
Nvm I fixed it by downloading a different modloader
maybe they're on mac
and switched from the Catalina one to the old one
or vice versa
Oh
also should I replace the Catalina beta with ModInstaller 2?
If you want
i tried downloading it and neither of the files will open
so i guess i'll just stick with the Catalina beta
would i need Mono for the .exe?
Nope
Now the working one is from the pin on this discord
Maybe the nexusmods one was an older version?
Nexus mods are very outdated
Yeah thought so
does someone know why do i have unlimited soul when i have the redwing mod on
Because the mod does that
Hello, I need help with the mod,I with a friend downloaded the mod "multiplayer mod by jngo102", installed Radmin, configured...It seems that we are connected and see each other,but we have different monsters,how can we solve this?
you dont
you dont
?
Idk
hey all, apologies if this has already been answered like a bazillion times- when I'm using the custom knight mod, the skins arent staying on whenever I go to another room or sit on a bench. Is there something I've done wrong? the skin applies just fine but it doesnt carry over when I enter another room.
Are you using lightbringer?
Ah yes, is that why? Should've guessed
It changes how the knight looks and takes priority
Since the first letter comes later than C
just scrolled up, no worries I'll just have to disable customknight. Thanks for the help!

Ok
I’m slow yet again.....
can someone tell me how to enable chaos mode for the enemy randomizer mod?
I’m not sure how to change that setting
okay, I have a bit of an issue
I had the mod installer and it worked wonders.
Then I had to reinstall hollow knight and now when I download and start the modinstaller no mods will appear anywhere whatsoever
Show your installer
the installer itself or the folder with the mods?
okay, I fixed it. It seems that when I uninstalled the game the folder with all the mods I had installed had remained there. I reinstalled the game again and, after deleting the folder, it's all working now
Idk if I should put this here, but someone on my discord server was having trouble using the installer on Linux. They didn’t want to ask here but I think that people should be notified of it so that it could possibly be fixed.
So something is wrong with something, but I don't know what. Hollow knight won't load the save files, mod installer is taking way too long to start, and I don't know what's causing any of it. Help
I uninstalled and reinstalled everything and it still isn't loading the save files. Please help
I've uninstalled all mods. It still doesn't work. At this point I just want to play hollow knight. please help
delete moddingapi.globalsettings.json
Where do i find it?
your saves folder
if you want to revert back to unmodded you need to verify integrity on steam if you have the game through steam
ok
simply uninstalling all your mods wont make your game unmodded because getting the api itself is modding your game
but just deleting the api globalsettings and relaunching will solve the issue
Where's the saves folder?

ok so
where does the api exe have to go
does it have to go in the steam install folder?
It’s called AssemblyCSharp.dll
It has the same name as the regular one
It’s just modified to allow mods to run
For the exact filepath, it depends on your operating system
So, what is your operating system?

I'm talking about the little window that lets you install the mods, not the actual game

hello, I am having trouble with the QoL mod. It had an update recently and now it's failing to load. Here is the modlog, pls ping me if anyone can help, thank you
to add to that, when i have it downloaded it doesnt let me open my menu lol
Install Vasi
ohh alright, was wondering what that was
With the mod installer
ty
Np
do you need to run hollow knight while installing the mods or no?
No
Close it
Then open when you’re done
ok
what sould I do
When clicking revert to unmodded that pops up?
yes
Then in Steam
Right click Hollow Knight
And then click Properties
Then click Verify Integrity of Game Files
And then if it says 1 file failed to validate then it worked
That will remove all mods
@novel bronze
ok thanks
can anyone help me with the custom knights mod, i don't understand how it works
Where are you confused
@ocean pecan you need to download the skins
Then unzip the files
Then put them in the CustomKnight folder in your Mods folder
If there’s no CustomKnight folder then make 1
alright that helps, thanks
press f1
thank you
how do I open mod manager?
@fringe fern just open it like any other thing
If Windows tries to stop you click More Info then Run Anyway
thanks!
I installed the Multiplayer Mod, and I have no clue what to do next. 🙃
What video did you watch to install it?
Yeah
There is no big server
You should join my discord
In the description of fireb0rn’s video
I'm not subscribed to fireb0rn.
Yeah
Just go to their most recent video
On my server there are a bunch of people who know how to solve problems and there is usually someone who wants to play
I can just slap the IP from the video?
Ok now what?
my hollow knight be speakin minecraft enchantment table at me
Did you install arts mods?
art mods is actually meme mods
i'm also over charmed permanently
Did you enable overcharged with debug?
You turned debug off?
i'll try that
@novel bronze you still haven’t joined the discord.....
It's fireb0rn's right?
My discord is in the description of fireborn’s multiplayer vid
I thought it was fireb0rn's server. >.>
Is it possible in the "multiplayer mod by jngo102" to make sync enemies (that Is, that all players would see monsters)
Anyone know what mod might be causing some glitchy behavior with Stagways? I'm assuming it's QoL since it appears the "intended" effect is for the Stag to show up instantly when you ring the bell, but more often than not, either 1. the stag appears blurred and frozen, and cannot be interacted with or 2. the stag does not appear, though the sound that should accompany the Stag's arrival animation plays as well as the dust usually kicked up by that animation, but the presumed 'invisible stag' still can not be interacted with. In normal play, this still sets the Stag's location to that stagway, so leaving and re-entering the stagway makes it so you can interact with the then-visible/animated stag, but while playing the randomizer where you can use stagways that you haven't technically unlocked, the result is that the stag is inaccessible when called from a station you can access but haven't unlocked.
do you have vasi installed
indeed, the current version of QoL breaks stagways
the randomizer mod breaks the new saves i open
it focuses on the far left of king's pass and i can't pause or anything
@swift flume update your installer
i tried to
and install modcommon
when ever i put on charms i take double damage even though it's not over charmed
oh, is that not being handled my mod installer?
You need 56 or greater for BingoUI
It's supposed to when you launch it
Rando also tells you to update api so
Maybe just uninstall then reinstall
A. is there a specific place to check for known ModInstaller2 bugs? (And/or place they should be reported?)
B. Attempting to disable ModdingAPI crashes it 
@glass meteor
I got the updates through the new modinstaller aswell but it crashed twice on the some updates
not sure if there is a log somewhere I can provide
the console had a brief moment with a lot of infos on it
but it got closed promptly afterwards
also, is there a way to make enemies respawn with debug mode?
Ok
Is that all that happens when you open it?
Try deleting it and downloading it again after doing this #archived-modding-help message
I cant find list of mods in google drive
I checked all mod channels' pins
Google drive
Installer doesnt have all mods
There are more mods in certain drive
Well, all mods on the Installer are on the Drive in pins
There are more mods in certain drive
@slim mountain which drive is this?
Okay the mod I am looking for is primal aspid minigun
Oh
I saw that on Reddit
Also I don’t know about other drives
Except for the one the Installer gets from
I think it's this one?
was wondering where to find that a while ago
not sure what I'm doing wrong i go to use the radiance mod installer but when i launch it it tells me to pick an install path and no matter what i pick it doesn't work what can i do to fix this?
where is your game installed
i have it in a folder labeled Hollow Knight Mods which house the folder for Hollow-Knight-data
where did you get your game from
steam
and then i grabbed the whole folder and copied it to a folder
which is this folder
and thats what ive been using to try to install the modinstaller to
i figured it out, I used the original location for hollow night in the installer and it worked. thank you for the help hope you have a great day
my modinstaller isn't opening for me, something pops up for a second but quickly closes out, should i try uninstalling it and re-installing it? (update : went ahead and did it and it worked)
is there a way to get back the vanilla dll-csharp file without reinstalling the game
Right click Hollow Knight in Steam
And then go to Properties
Then click Verify Integrity of Game Files
If all goes well, then it’ll say 1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired
ok and then if I put the dll file in a separate folder it should be fine right?
I will copy it not remove it
Don’t do that
I want to have a vanilla file to read while I mod tho
?
Wdym
well idk I might need to re read the intro
probs missread something
You can read the intro with mods installed
"The Assembly-CSharp.dll should overwrite your vanilla one at" does it overwrite the file or does it just run over it
it's my first c# project so I am pretty lost might have to learn more about it
Also Elegy for Hallownest goes like this:
In lands beyond, they speak your name, with reverence and regret
For none could tame our savage souls, yet you the challenge met
Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed
A world you gave to bug and beast, that they had never dreamed
well, it renames the vanilla, so the installer can put it back
the same thing
"The Assembly-CSharp.dll should overwrite your vanilla one at" does it overwrite the file or does it just run over it
@novel bronze it doesn’t overwrite your saves
but with vanilla at the end
nice thanks
Apologies, I'm attempting to install some of the mods, but seem to be failing miserably at most turns.
The mods I'm able to install usually crash the game immediately, and I get this error a lot when installing them.
do you have a controller
I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall the mod manager, deleting the files in local, and restarting my computer
I do.
unplug it until you reach the main menu
delete system32
Okay
delete c:
Wow, deleting system32 really worked! 😮
Thanks!
Out of curiosity, why does plugging in a controller break the mods?
it can mess with them idk
i've been having trouble with the HK debug mod can anione help me?
when ever i have it on my character keeps teleporting to different places
did you edit the binds?
how?
it keeps teleporting me from the sly storeroom and then imediatly teleporting me back to where i was
Okay two quick things since i see yall are busy
nah i figured it out
One: so the easy mode mod has a glitch where whenever i die in the pantheon the game screen just goes white and i can still hear the fighting going on but like.... i cant do anything... except close the game
And second i know the grimchild upgrades mod as an integration with the infinite grim mod and i dont really know what to do. Like how does beating grim upgrade the child??
Also im guessing that the reason the easy mode glitch is happening is probably because easy mode doesn’t spawn the shade when you die and i know thats not true in the pantheon either but it probably has a connection. So is there a way to trun that specific part of the mod off??
maybe
Ive been looking around in the files and i cant find it
@sweet rune pretty sure thats saving and loading a savestate
I forgot debug could do that
yeah im just a dumb ass and binded loadstate to "left key"
already fixed it
but thank you
Like i know there were settings for the grimchild upgrades and infinite grim so i thought easy mode would have those files but apparently not
ok
Though being honest im more concerned with how the infinitegrimm and grimmchild integration works
idk
how do i get the mod installer program?
what operating system do you have?
windows
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
anyone had an issue where you had a randomizer save file, and then it just stops randomizing things? the mod itself it working just fine, i began a new save file and the rando was working perfectly. but my old one just doesnt anymore
did you ever disable randomizer and start the game without it?
anyone else having a problem with QoL? i installed the update through the mod installer a couple of days ago, and now i tried booting up hk for the first time since and it says Qol failed to load on the main menu
i also just loaded a save file and it wont let me pause?? thats also really strange
well i reinstalled QoL and now everthing works
nvm i guess
no i dont believe so @wheat orchid
modinstaller 2 beta update, should fix some of the disable/install bugs
hey frens 🙂 trying my first MultiWorldRando - got the mod installer sorted, downloaded and placed the MultiWorldRando packages, started the server, edited the IP, hit 'connect,' saw that I was connected in the server log 
but then, the readme says to just start the game on a new file (once everyone's connected), and that brings up the Randomiser 3 start menu (and since we chose which skips were used when we started the server, that seems odd)
do i need to get rid of Rando3 while using the MultiWorld mod? or will it just ignore the settings we chose in the Rando3 menu?
yeet rando 3
alright, thought so - it will be yeeted, thanks 
if i install modinstaller V2, should i delete v1?
alright, appreciate it
in the online mod is there a way for me and my friend to have both different custom knight skins?
@fringe marsh it works, but it’s very laggy
it does not work
how to break modinstaller V2: Update OOD mod
i wish we could read the 'readme' file before installing a mod
is there a way to replace sprites that arent in the CustomKnight default folder?
i've seen some posts about sprite replacement, but not sure who it was
think i found what i was looking for searching around, thanks
if i use mods do i get achivements on steam?
@marsh granite you do
But I don’t recommend it
It ruins the experience for your first play through
And also the second
(for Steel Soul and Speedrun)
Unless it’s just something like CustomKnight
Which is purely aesthetic
ahh ok thank u 😄
Np
it wont let me download it says it could be harmful to divice
more info -> run anyways
Why are there two CustomKnights on the Installer?
Last I checked there was 1
I’ll try both
Maybe one is the version with icons?

if you installed one manually, it might show up as a second one
if you manually install a mod, it will appear in the installer
I'm trying to install the down patcher for hk for steam, but whenever I click the link linked in the word "here" it takes me to a page that doesn't load...
Please help me, thanks in advance
Well I managed to get to the message at least, but the download still doesn't work :/
I can't seem to get the Daughter of Hallownest skin to work. I'm following Fireb0rns tutorial, if that helps with anything. I download the zip, and shove it into the customknight folder, but when I enter the game it doesn't load the skin for some reason. If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated!
Hi, maybe i'm doing something wrong but installing the custom knight mod makes my game crash at launch...
@plush summit Daughter of Hallownest is different. Unzip the file, and you will find a folder structure that mirrors that of the folders the mods are in. If you want to use the whole mod (changes dialogue and such as seen in the trailer), put the files in the corresponding folder in your HK files. If you want to use the skin only, you can find a folder with PNGs in and installing it as described in fireb0rn's vid
Okay, Thank you!
Glhf
I can only open it up to a 7z file, which I can't open. How do I go deeper?
unplug controller, start game
@real jacinth THANKS
I can go deeper on the actual google drive, but I can't download just the skins folder.
@spring bane Sorry to @, But could I show you what I'm seeing because. I'm a tad confused still
You have to download the 7z program to unzip the file. Idk if you can unzip it with anything else
Okay, so unzip that, find the customknight folder, and copy the daughter of hallownest file in there and follow the Fireb0rn steps?
If you just want the skin and not the dialogue stuff
Yeah i'm fine with just the skin
Then yes
Is this what I should download to unzip it? Sorry, I'm not that good with. files and stuff.
Or maybe this?
Like Mickley said, there are many that will work. As long as it says it unzips 7 zip files
okay, thank you!

It's working! Thanks so much!
so uh
i downloaded the mod loader
and i accidentally closed it
how do i open it back up
double click it
double click what
the exe
oh
-_- im a bit stupid
hold on
so i clicked the exe and it says "theres already an instance running" despite not there being one
whats it called in task manager
modinstaller.exe
dont see it
just going to restart my pc
sorry if im a bit stupid about this
clicking the exe opens the game
i highly doubt that modinstaller.exe opens hollow knight
you probably clicked hollowknight.exe
yeah, that's the game
i did something wrong didnt i
where did you put the installer exe
found it
mb
sorry for wasting your time
was looking in the wrong foler
folder
hello can someone help me?
after I installed the modinstaller, it closed with the message "Please purchase the game before attempting to play it!"
You can't mod pirated HK, check the pins
but I already bought the game on steam
Ah
did you pirate it before
if you previously pirated it make sure to delete all of the pirated stuff
Yes, I deleted the files from the appdata team cherry
is there any other secret folder with files from the pirate game?
did you delete the pirate game itself
the stuff in appdata are your saves
and did you try to use the installer before buying the game
and then run it again after
I need some help with the Daughter of Hallownest mod. (Not the boss, the skin.)
any describing anything
Well, I can't unzip it, and it's not shown on the file that I made on my desktop.
so your issue has nothing to do with modding then
you just don't know how to unzip something
get a different unzip program
What would you recommend?
7-zip
Thank you.
so I'm going to take a look to see if there is anything left of the pirate game and try to reinstall the game, thanks for the help.
no
hey where can i find a google drive with the mod downloads?
