Hiya! I have question. When I install the Bonfire Mod, I tend to experience frame drops every 5-15secs or so. It'll vary between 1 sec freeze up to 5 secs the longer I play. When I disable the Bonfire Mod, I don't experience the drops/freezes anymore. Is there a reason why I experience this problem with this mod only?
What other mods do you have?
none, only Bonfire Mod is installed
I think that's a hardware issue
Granted, I used to get some drops even with the base game after 30hrs or so into my gameplay.
I did a new game just in-case, but I still get the frame drops from ~300ish and drops down to 1-70 with a freeze for half sec to 1 sec.
disabling it and ran thru the same parts with 1 minor stutter, as opposed to the like 15+ when it was enabled
yea it's a hardware issue
I'm gonna hit that with a doubt.
Well, anyways. I decided to give Hollow Knight and The Modinstalling folders an Allow thru Malwarebytes and... no drops now. 
I'm still gonna continue troubleshooting and testing and see if it happens again. I'm doing Pantheon of the Knight with no drops feels great.
Hi all. I feel like this was probably answered previously (I scrolled through the chat before, but couldn't find it). I've downloaded the ModInstaller, and when I open it, I get a Microsoft .NET Framework Error (I'll put a screenshot below). When I hit continue, my only option is to Manually install mods. If anyone else has encountered this before, and knows how to fix it to load up all the included mods, please let me know.
Did you download it recently?
Yeah, within the past 15 minutes.
On windows, and I assume I got the windows version (it's an .exe, so I believe that's windows).
Just did, same result.
Try running it as administrator
Same error.
Also tried moving the .exe to the same drive as my hollow knight install to no avail.
Idk
Alright. Thanks for the help. I'll real quick to see if that does the trick.
np
No dice. Thanks again. Seems like mods are not in my future.
Where did you get the game from
@lavish hinge
i cant install hollow point mod can anyone help?
Give details
do you have the mod installer?
i have modinstaller3
?
mod installer 3
I have seen modinstaller2
im with 3
Are you on mac
nope
what are you on
windows
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
also have I been left out of something? I have no idea what modinstaller 3 is
Me neither
modinstaller 2 beta?
maybe they got an old version of the windows installer somewhere?
that says 3 instead of 8.something
there is any tutorial on how to use mod installer?
if it is complicated, nothing is simple
why are so many people getting that today
why framework 3.5 tho
....because that's what hollow knight uses.......
also don't question the modding staff
so i cant use a higher version of it?
no
oh
You can. But make sure this works too
This has become a bigger problem recently after the exe update, so it might just need fixing
have any of you played hollow point? im stuck because i cant get my ground pound to work it only switches between gun and sword. anyone know a fix or work around?
use the other spell button
okay thanks, literally didnt know that existed
np
can i still get steam achivement when using Modsinstaller (only changing skin, not the difficulty itself)
yes
you still get steam achievements with any......... wait should I make a mod that stops you from getting steam achievements?
so technically i can still get steam achivement as long as i don't fidle with the enemy or player setting........right ?
you will still get steam achievements no matter what mods you download/use
o....is this a bad thing ?
idk
you decide
I don't think it's a bad thing because I can just get the achievements on my switch
well then, it's a singleplayer game so i don't think it's gonna go bad. well except steam achivement gonna go wonky, infact shouldn't we delete our chat for safety purpose ?
@wheat orchid @real jacinth Hey, sorry, after the last thing I typed, I closed out of the discord. Just tried the "Turn on/off Windows Features" to affect .NET framework. Still no luck with the ModInstaller. Thanks again for the help. I've already got 60/63 achievements, I just wanted to see if I could get a little flair going on for my Steel Soul Mode run. Mods are absolutely not necessary for me. I'm heading to bed, so if you guys put anything in hear in response to me, I probably won't see it for another 8 hours.
To answer the question @real jacinth asked hours ago, I got the steam version of the game.
how do you get the white palace challenge skins?
Pinned messages on modding discussion here’s a link to the message

Does anyone have tips if the v53 API dll is not being placed inside the Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods folder? None of the mods I'm choosing is activating. I've deleted all files in Mods once. Thought when run ModInstaller again it would re-add those files. For me it's not.
I found where modinstaller settings are at (%localappdata%\ModInstaller) after deleting the files there it's working again.
I want to add a skin of the White palace. When I want to download i can't find the Zip. Where is It?

@twilit swift we don't know where you download your files to
how do i get rid of keybinds for nail damage in debug mod?
trid but didn't work
Did you delete both of the debugmod.globalsettings files?
yes
When i had this problem i uninstalled debug then deleted the files than re installed
So maybe try that?
Did you delete the files while the game was off?
You should close the game before any modifications to make sure they take effect
You should close the game before any modifications to make sure they take effect
@wheat orchid much better wording ;)
i did close the game then delete the files
i deleted the mod and reinstalled it but it didn't work
So f1 doesn’t work?
ok
is there a mod that lets myla live
There is one somewhere that makes myla have infinite health
Someone will eventually make a mod like that
Does anyone have the poorly translated mod as a file?

Oh thanks. Didn't know that was a thing
Rejoined just so I could get it, since it didn't work from the installer
yeah
Hey, not sure if this is the right chat or not. But when making a skin, am i required to have a readme file? And if so, is there anything spesific i need in it?
Not done with any skin yet, but i just wanna know ahead of time
no, I don't think there is any requirement like that
Whats the key to increase nail damage on debug mode?
You mean like the user data thing like this or?
i was saying on the menu, cause it says equal. but it doesnt work
Im out of ideas
does anyone know how to fix this?
i only get it with certain mods and i have no idea why
I’m not good at this, and I’m on phone away from my computer, but I’ll take a crack at it
What mod are you trying to install?
hollow point is the one i tried to install there
Oh
it also happened with pale champion though
Alright, the way I fixed it was downloading them manually without installer
Go into pins, I’m pretty sure. It’s either in this channel, or #modding-discussion
alright, thank you
re-download the installer
Oh
reset the old one ( see pins on how)
oh, sure
thanks both of you
I tried. But I would at least like to think I helped.
For some reason my in-game mod list is glitched. It’s all in gigantic font
I also got another glitch with the pause menu. It ended up overlapping and I couldn’t access it anymore. Had to force quit
I am watching Saleh's new scene guide and would like to know if there is a better way to round out all of the numbers while adding the 2d collision to the scene
oh nice thank you! an nice video
thanks!
Hey I'm having an issue with the modinstaller, it's telling me that the custom skin mod process can't access the file because it's being used by another process
Mods\CustomKnight\Default/Baldur.png
Nvm I got it
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
So I'm trying to put Primal Aspids in place of the two giant hoppers beside Oro's house (to the right)
i'm already terrified of this idea
I'm trying out Item Placer and plandoplando but I don't see anything here about enemy replacing
Should I use a diff mod or something ?
hggg... nevermind
hmm when making a scene in unity you need to make a new 2D edge collider if you have a gap between terrain right?
ok I just find it ugly to have multiple colliders for the border
Do any of the rando mods mess up the map?
I saw the Fyremoth mod that the one guy's playing, and I downloaded it. However, now I cant disable it as it doesn't show up on my mod installer, just like poorly translated
I'm scared to open the game and fuck things up
eat modinstaller
thanks redfrog

Hey guys, new to the modding scene here so probably a noob question, but how do i actually get the mods to be active in game? I've got the ModInstaller directed to my hollow knight file and have mods in the enabled file as opposed to disabled (using HPBar mod just to test if i could get it working) but whenever i boot up the game, im just playing the original copy?
is there any text at the top left of the screen?
None, that's initially how i knew it hadn't worked
if there is a button at the bottom of modinstaller that says enable all installed mods press it
then try opening the game
According to the rando guide it says the map mod will give you all the maps after you talk to elderbug 3 times, that doesn’t seem to be working right
do you have modcommon and seanprcore?
Np

hey, how i make the mmultiplayer mod to work?
Have you downloaded it with mod installer?
How do i check spoiler log?
when i try to install poorly translated in the modinstaller i get this error: end of central directory record could not be found edit: nvm!
@muted beacon Here's the file path for spoiler logs! Good luck finding everything in-game.

Found the hollow knight folder, but i don’t think the spoiler log is here. I’ll try generating a new file
how do I get the daughter of hallownest skin to work? when I download and extract it, it leaves a winrar file that needs to be extracted inside the folder for some reason and I can't figure out how to fix it
how do i use mods that are .rar files?
@novel kernel are u using discord on mobile or PC?

Try clicking on modding help on top
hey trying to install poorly translated mod from mod installer just gives me this. is the download broken or something else?
I am not sure where the pins are shown on pc
I believe you need to manually install poorly translated from the google drive.
Pins are top right, by the channel description and members list
thanks mooncat
Glad to help!
@novel kernel It's pretty far down, but if you check the pins, it explains how to install mods without the installer. Good luck!
guys, i'm strolling on the google drive and i found this:
does anyone know what are these shapes used for?
those are for the HUD! background, foreground, middleground, and overlay.
Can someone tell me why the modinstaller suddenly added this "AU" application to my pc? I've had it for ages and it's never done that. Plus, I also saw a shortcut pop up for a second on my desktop with the name "lol"
I believe that's an auto-updater for the modinstaller. Don't know about the "lol" shortcut, though.
i dont understand, they looks doesnt like something that may occurs in HK, and what does "for the HUD" mean? i thought they're for custom HP bar...
Guys, how to install ModLoader for Hollow knight?
Are there Russians here? (it's just hard for me to communicate in English)
They are for the custom HP bar, yeah. The HUD includes the HP bar, just with a few extra elements for flair & design. Not sure what the specific parts are, though.
The pins do have the mod installer links! Good luck with understanding things, as the server's language is English.
?
Don't see how it couldn't be lol. Plenty of things are put into HUDs that I don't know about, since I've never looked at or edited any individual pieces. I'm sure it all comes together in-game.
alright, i give up understanding... ty for spending so much time with silly me👀
No worries lol. good luck with custom knight and such!
I need Pure Vessel/Hollow Knight sprites for reference material, is there a way to access the sprites, or has someone already ripped them?
thanks, much appreciated
hey trying to install poorly translated mod from mod installer just gives me this. is the download broken or something else?
@wild ice i installed it with version 2 and that worked
hey this virus protector isnt letting me open the mod installer, what do i do?
oh ok thx
If I install a skin does it mess up something with my achievements?
no
Ok, ty
im trying to open modinstaller2 and it keeps crashing and it says something like "format of the executable (.exe) or library (.dll) is invalid"
anyone here have benchwarp?
I don't want to walk through my entire 112% world just to unlock it in the warp menu
can i unlock it all at once somehow?
yeah
ok, how? lol
menu in the top right of the pause menu has the option
see it now, thx
ok so while modding stuff my healing broke and now can only heal once at a time
is this bug known? because it could be from a part of our mod, but not entirely sure
the problem persist even after removing all mods
yes
cant heal consecutively even if I have enough soul
not that it affects me much at this point, but still bugs me

oh well
bigboi98, It was pinned in #archived-modding-development btw; there's a lot of pins here I'm learning
which one?
actually the problem extends to all saves
I tested it last night in both my steel soul and my godseeker saves
have you tried on a new save
I have questions about this birb
another question, where was my aspid machine gun implemented?
Gatling aspid?
yes
Do you mean what mod is it in?
I think it’s called Gatling aspid?
jngo checked for aspids every liek 1 frame tho so it halved framerates, dunno if he ever fixed
How does Dream Shield Coop work?
Use numpad
To control dreamshield
I’m slowly learning how adding GUI works so I can add stuff to change controls in game
If you have grimmchild coop enabled use the letters to control it
Also look in the readme
fury of the fallen should make grimchild go red and stronger
I’ll consider that
but that is for the discussion channel so bye
Dream Shield coop is downloaded and no shield is appearing when I make a new save
Nothing
Do you have modcommon?
does gatling aspid just replace regular primal aspids with those primal aspids?
huh?
I didn’t read the question right
oh
I joined this discord just to ask if anyone has figured out a way to use both Hollow Point and Randomizer 3 at the same time. Randomizer 3 seems to cancel Hollow Point out for some reason.
what all mods do you have installed
benchwarp, bonfire, custom knight, pallet swap, daughter of hallownest, exaltation, grimmchild updates, hollow point, indie crossover, lifeblood master, modcommon, modconsole, QoL, Randomizer 3, SeanprCore, tribe of battle, unofficial patch, vasi
well i'm sure a couple of those are breaking, could be bonfire could be unofficial patch, exaltation, grimchild updates, beats me
I'll try going down the list and uninstalling
I've uninstalled everything except for Hollow Point and Randomizer 3, and its required mods. Still no luck.
The gun still shows up on my old save, but I need to start a new game for Randomizer to work
try disabling hollow point, starting a rando save, get to a bench or something then restart with hollow point
alright
@trail flint (read above, the disablign and re-enabling worked, dunno if you were aware)
is there a mod that automatically adds 2 pure vessels or do i have to use debug for that
in the past i used debug, but i wanna know if theres an easier method
I think there is one in the skin challenge doc
really? let me check
Hey whats the most up to date version of the mod installer. Is it pined
How do i update it??
Wait
it should auto-update?
Well i worked i think
@west bane thank you. Your method worked, and now I can shoot up a completely random hallownest
awesome, i'll let ttacco know and maybe it can get fixed
Hey - just installed the Hollow Knight Mod Installer and installed Randomizer 3, having weird issue. All the menus showed up right, but upon starting the game it just shows this screen and I can't do anything
All options left at defaults
Try closing out of the game and reopening. I've seen that screen before, though usually it shows up for a moment before it starts you in KP/wherever else, so it might just be stuck
closed out, started a new game again, same result... I'll try going to dirtmouth with it disabled
do you have modcommon & seanprcore
only if the installer auto-installs them on randomizer install... it added a few things
OK yes it says they are installed
oh, seanpr is but not modcommon
OKAY seems to be working now, ty
is there a FAQ page anywhere on what exactly the randomizer randomizes/what the options do?
readme
Not sure if the readme has everything, but there is the randomizer 3 guide if you want to check it out. if you have any more questions, feel free to ask in the randomizer channel and such

but its comp[letely normal for both of us
this is mine
and we're both connected w/ hamachi
What about his
maybe the problem is that he made a brand new save
No that’s not
oh
wait
i showed him mine and he said its the same
@charred prism this is the proble
Only the host can have multiplayer server on
oh yeah
i have the multyplayer server he only has the client
do i need to have both enebled or just the server?
You need both
Everyone needs the client
and modcommen to?
Try restarting
Yeah
and the port just has to be the same for both
Yeah
what would be a good canvas size for a Gate
I'd want it to be similar in height as the houses in the Town
Can you help me pls, idk how i can get this hidden trophy. the last one
Not modding related
What does the spoiler log file look like for rando?
Probably like a text file
It changes depending on the settings of the randomizer. It's generally "item - location", and then it also lists by individual area. Should only list major items, not stuff like relics
I just can't find it
It’s somewhere
username/AppDate/LocalLow/TeamCherry/HollowKnight/
Nope!
saves?
I find the Hollow Knight folder in my steamapps folder

Where do i paste it?
In the address bar of your file explorer

I can’t find a way to make a Steel Soul save with randomizer mod 2b.15
Is there a new version to download, or am I an idiot who can’t use the gui, or is it not possible. Could always follow honour rules and delete the save myself.
Omg my mantis claw in logic is void heart check
(When I say “randomizer mod” I mean it’s literally called RandomizerMod the modlist)
Last question: Is there a list of which skips the mod will expect me to do with each setting? I can’t find one, but that doesn’t mean much when it’s me looking.
There is a bunch of skip options on the rando settings when creating a save
not really. most of the skip names are self-explanatory (ie dark room, shade, fireball). You can always check the randomizer 3 guide on speedrun.com and see if it mentions there
Yeah, I can do shade skips and spikes, but I don’t know where I can do them. I’ll just leave them off.
just have to look around and see if you can do a specific skip somewhere lol. good luck!
Wait I can’t do shade skips with permadeath, lol. I’m an idiot.
I’m just brilliant sometimes.
U are
You can’t preview them because those were removed because of crashing
Also are you sure you have the skin structure right?
And do you have modcommon?
It’s a mod.....
Kinda required for some mods to run
Just install it from the installer
Should have automatically been installed
Also get seanprcore and Vasi
And if you play inferno king Grimm, weavercore
All of these are other mods
Similar to modcommon
Make modding easier, but they are required for mods made with them
Np
Can someone send me a website where I can download skins?
Np
uh oh
?
I forgot to open customskins
and I put the skin files in the mod folder
and this happened
the CustomKnight folder that you put skins in
What about it
lol
sorry for wasting your time
Np
So I have no clue what Im doing
Where are you confused
Uhhhhhhhh
That doesn’t really answer my question
So I installed the mod installer and I have no clue where to go from there.
Did you try opening it?
Yes
Windows
Ok
I installed some mods and then opened hollow knight and it did not work
At the top left?
Yep
Did they say failed to load?
No
Yes
Ill try it
Make sure the game is also closed

Hey can someone tell me if you can host and connect on the same machine for hollow knight?
for multiplayer
you probably can if you have 2 instances
but you still need port forwarding
and the server may get really confused
has never been tested
afaik
So if your hosting a server you can't play with others right @wheat orchid?
if you are hosting a server, you can't join someone else
So I am having a friend host a server, only me and another can see each other but cant see him. Is that the mod messing up?
@wheat orchid
just keep restarting until it works
and make sure everyone has multiplayer client and modcommon
So have him restart the game?
and make sure only the host has the server
and have everyone restart
and make the host start the game first
@wheat orchid So I have mod common, multiplayer client and multiplayer server. While my friends have mod common and multiplayer client. I don't see them but they see each other but they aren't moving around. We had everyone restart and had the host start the game first.
did everyone connect?
Yeah but I don't see them, but they see each other and shows in modlog
can I get your modlog?
1 sec
how do you apply the gun mod?
do you have the mod installer?
yeah
ok
also make sure you have modcommon
boys how to install debug mode
do you have the mod installer?
debug is on the installer......
That’s your problem and solution
I don’t know where you put stuff on your pc
If you didn’t move it then it’s probably in your downloads folder
Hello! My friend went from a mac computer to a windows. We followed the save file paths for the mac and copied over those files to their windows using the windows save file path. The game works fine, however, it is not allowing him to quit and save. He can access the menu ingame but it will not allow him to click "YES" under the exiting save text. He had also completed the first level of the absolute radiance in the hall of gods in his save, but after the files being copied over, it says he has not completed it. We've attempted to re-copy the files and still is not working. Does anyone have any trouble-shooting ideas?
- This isn’t much modding related. 2. Ummm idk I though I had something for 2.....
Anyway, idk if we can help here as you should be able to click yes no matter what. But you can edit the save to have completed absrad or use the qol mod to make editable .json saves
ok i found the file what do i do now?
Umm open it?
ik it's not mod related i just wasn't sure where else to go 😦
thank you though, idk why he can't click yes but we will try to find it
bro i installed all the mods but hollow knight says trhat there are no mod ingstalled
did you click enable all installed mods
where
like
the game runs fine
i just can't enable/disable mods or install new ones
because the installer won't launch after mods have been installed
@echo rampart it's at the bottom of the installer
ok
My modinstaller has a problem
It doesn'r run properly, when i open it i only get "install manually" button in the upper left cornet and nothing else appears
Redownload
Oof ok
i'm trying to figure it out where is the correct path for install hollow knight mod installer
there is none
?
there is no "correct path"
it says "couldn't locate the correct installation folder"
that's hollow knight not the installer
Hi! I have a weird glitch where if I die during a fight against a boss in Godhome (not in the pantheons, just a regular fight), then there's the dying animation and the screen goes white, but instead of going back to the godhome normally and having to do the fight again, the screen stays white and the battle continues (Grimmchild continues attacking, the boss too) until the boss is defeated (which obviously takes a while). And in the end the game counts this as a victory despite the fact that I died way too early.
I have a lot of mods, but I suppose that maybe the EasyMode one may be the cause? It has already glitched sometimes when it comes to dying.
What are the exact mods you have
I'm trying again with all my mods except Easy Mode, and as I suspected the death is immediate this time.
But the other mods are Benchwarp, CustomKnight, Debug, DoH, Exaltation, and the basics (QoL/ModCommons and Cores etc)
K
But yeah, the way Easy Mode handles death seems to be the problem ; I already had a few glitches where instead of having the Dream Death I get a regular death with the Shade spawning. The first time it happened while I had some fragile charms so I assumed at the time that the fact that the game didn't know whether the charms should break or not was why I got a Regular Death that time, but then it happened another time without those charms and I honestly don't know what caused it that other time (I think I died to spikes/crystal hole, but apart from that I don't see what could've caused it)
Ok
I don't know who made that mod sadly so I don't really know who to contact in order to fix that...

Hmm, Homothety then? Am I allowed to ping them/DM them about this?
Idk
I guess at least I'll try...
@elfin jasper Hi! Sorry for the ping, but I think there might be an issue with the EasyMode you developed (notably the way it handles death), so I thought you might want to see this ^^'
Hi! I see links for a Mac version of ModInstaller, are there any guides for Mac users? I'm not finding much on YouTube
@west bane It only happens when EasyMode is active, so I guess it has to be linked to it. Then again I sadly don't know enough about how the storage glitch works or even what kind of effect it has, so...
As for MiscDog, have you checked the pins? I think it explains it all including for Mac
Save states nope, benchwarping yes but occasionally.
The last few times I played (aka closing the game and restarting it) I was already in Godhome so I didn't have to benchwarp, although the mod was still there.
@vale sentinel yes yes! I do indeed see the links and downloaded both ModInstaller and ModInstaller 2
Only ModInstaller 2 loads, but nothing seems to get installed
Huh... I'm afraid I'm not part of the modding community myself (my job lets me know the basics but that's it), so I can't exactly help more than that...
anyone had much luck installing mods on Macs?
can somebody tell me if there is an infinite soul mod
You can use the debug mod for that, one of its options in the "Cheats" menu is exactly that
thanks ill try later
@hardy hill nope, stuck currently 😦
@noble hamlet dang. ive had more luck with the mod installer2 than the original, trying again today.
Oh? when I tried running it, it didn't seem like anything was actually being installed?
i think mine are? like it freezes/ buffers when i select installed. idk if it installs tho. it loads up which beats mod installer 1 but it doesnt do, much else
exactly!! idk what it is but i think we have the same problem
has anybody played randomizer on steel soul mode???
what problems is it creating
im not sure, theres no error message. im thinking its cause it doesnt have a path to the hollowknight application but its also just not downloading the mods on the mod list
i was talkin to the moonstone guy
sorry XD
@west bane do you happen to know some Mac specialists in the modding community?
drag it out of your downloads folder (maybe to desktop or something) then run it
Sorry I went afk -- Zaliant, you wanted to see my modlog, so here it is if you're still interested
none i was just woundering
i havent played steel soul mode becuase i cant take the stress of haveing only one chance
this is #archived-modding-help
i was woundering if it would make the game easyer using the Mod
darn i spelt easier
it's a randomizer it randomizes things
@vale sentinel just spitballing but might be some conflict between exaltation and easy mode or it just might be exaltation itself
probably the latter
Oh, you think? The problem disappeared upon removing Easy Mode, but I haven't tried removing Exaltation so maybe it is indeed a conflict between the two. I'll try removing Exaltation and keeping Easy Mode and I'll let you know what happens!
Use debug
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
@west bane Bad news, Exaltation doesn't seem to be the cause of it, it really seems to be EasyMode on its own. It went back to having the white out problem nonetheless ^^' I'm closing the game then taking a look at the modlog.
Yes
I wish I could understand from this file alone what the problem is, but there's so much in it that I seems problematic to me that I don't even know where to start x') I'll try to start with a clean state by going back to unmodded and have only EasyMode enabled to see what the modlog says.
I can understand it
What exactly is the problem you are having?
Who could that be......
probably saleh getting the PV audio for an attack in daughter of h allownest if i had to guess
My problem with EasyMode (at least I'm 99% sure the source is EasyMode) is that upon death against a boss in godhome (not a pantheon, just a single boss), then instead of going back to godhome and acting like a defeat, the screen stays white and the battle continues without me being able to play, until the boss is defeated (which is possible due to me having the grimmchild). And when the boss finally dies, then the game acts as if I won.
do you have vasi?
Yes
So I should try removing QoL?
And yes I have Vasi
Maybe it’s a conflict with removing the shade(even though there is none when dying in a dream) and the faster animations from qol
hi, im new to this discord and wonder if anyone could helkp me. so i just tryed out the "randomizer 3" mod from the HK Mod Installer and i dont have a lever to open the dirthmouth stag station door. is that normal?
Hmm... I'll try without QoL then, I'll let you know what happens!
@grand dome it happened to me too.
No
ok
Update on the Death problem: nope, removing QoL didn't solve it.
Then it’s probably just easy mode trying to remove the nonexistent shade
That's what I've been suspecting, yeah... I wonder if there's a way to patch it in order to solve the problem? (like just adding a way for it to deal with regular dream deaths)

Hmm... EasyMode doesn't seem to have a .GlobalSettings file?? At least I can't seem to find it
what
Then find easymode.globalsettings if you have file extensions on then there is .json at the end
Ok
It's a problem with how the death fsm handles godhome
Oh hey! Sorry, it was me who pinged you earlier ^^' It's about your EasyMode mod -- I've had a problem with it whenever there's an actual in-game dream death, the mod doesn't seem to be able to handle it properly yeah
Yes, I'm aware
I assumed it was something like that
I was wondering if there could be a way to solve that problem...?
Can’t you just turn it off in globalsettings or something?
It doesn't have globalsettings
I sadly don't seem to have a -- yeah exactly
Ok
Please don't give advice like that without checking
K
You can toggle the mod off for Hall of Gods, or wait indefinitely for someone to fix the fsm and update the mod
I sadly really need that mod because of how much I suck at the game, but oof
What is the fsm exactly?
... Yeah, so I have no idea what that is or how to fix it, oof ._.
it is very simple
Hey guys I have an issue with loading my save after installing mods. I just downloaded the mod installer and used it to download the player data tracker mod, but when I ran the game and tried to access my save this happened
am i missing any steps?

and delete anything that has api.globalsettings
np
@grand dome @wheat orchid the dirtmouth stag door thing is intended - if you randomize stag stations, the lever to open the door is a randomized item
oh ok
ah i see. ty for the answer
(Hey, Someone? Just in case you have time to go back and take a look at EasyMode's fsm, I'd be really interested in knowing whatever you find there :o)
(I’m doing it rn, be patient)
I think I’m done, I’m just testing to make sure I didn’t break anything
(No worries, I know it'd take a while ^^' Just wanted to be sure you'd let me know if you found out anything)
Done
You managed to fix it? :O
Thank you so much! Maybe we should update it too in the Google Drive and such? :o
I don’t have access to the drive
I probably shouldn’t
I would probably mess something up
Aww
Either way I downloaded it, time to test it and see if it works for me too! Although I don't have much doubt haha
Aaand it works! Great job <3
thanks
You can submit a pull request, or just send me your code for the fsm and I'll update it.
@hardy hill I got it to work earlier, not too sure what I did, I made sure everything in the pinned message was checked "Installed?"
Mind you, now I can't disable them either
that's nice
and now I have a whole other problem, maybe you don't have it, but I can't get any controllers to work on Mac for Hollow Knight exclusively lol
oh lol, ill double check the pinned message, thank you! oh no, you cant disable them?
ive always had trouble with controllers for mac. i think theres a seperate app you can install which connects controllers to the mac?
yeah, but even then
were the controllers working before the mods worked?
I can get PS4, Switch, Xbox and Steam controllers linked and usable in big picture
none work in HK
huh, thats so weird
plug them in after getting to the main menu
really? lol
they can break mods sometimes
oh so it might be the mods turning them off?
hm nope, no dice
what does weavercore do
allows ikg to work
k
can break other mods
My dumbass followed the basic instructions on the pinned post and my mods are working perfectly. Ish, it crashed but that’s cause my Mac is trash. Thank you for the help everyone 🙏
I can't instal Custom Knight ;-;
It says that something is damaged, does someone know how to solve it?
What happens more precisely? Which kind of computer do you use? (Windows/Mac/Linux)
Windows
Screenshot the error
And I checked and it gave me a Rar
Screenshot the error
I saw the fireborn video and it gave him the file
Ol
Ok
The second screenshot is in spanish
Well, the first one was in spanish
Idk
Hmm... Have you tried going to the folder where your actual mod files are?
The Rar ones?
aka
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
(at least for me)
Not rar files, those are archives that need to be decompressed in order to be functional
So I decompress them?
You should yeah, otherwise you can't use the mods.
Sorry if some of my questions are stupid, I'm not that good with files
I extract them in mods right?
well, decompress
If I remember right, the .rar files contain actually a folder which contains a folder etc until the last folder contains the .dll file. So what you can do is either put the folder "hollow_knight_data" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight and accept when it asks you to fuse the files,
or you copy-paste the .dll file itself in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
Custom knight
You can always try re-downloading it then, if it's damaged...
I redownload mod manager too?
at worst I can always send you the .dll directly, but if you downloaded the .rar from the Google Drive shown in the pins, it shouldn't fail
If ModInstaller works, then there's no point in re-downloading it. Download it only if your current version doesn't work.
I tried dowloading custom knight, but you see that the download said complete when it didn't even start (it was in 0/0 mb
Yeah... Then if ModInstaller doesn't work properly, just try installing it manually (aka by downloading the CustomKnight mod directly from the Google Drive)
I thought it was in the pins but I'm looking right now and I have yet to scroll down enough to find it tbh

hey
hey
i had the mod installer before, but I wanted to revert back so I verified file integrity via steam. I've tried a few different things to restore the modloader but nothing is working
so you reverted and now modinstaller isn't working?
I tried redownloading it
it just acts like normal
Good for you! ^^ Apparently maybe ModInstaller just doesn't work well for you (I sure know mine has been getting slower and slower to load as of recently), so just know that for all other mods in the future it usually works the same way.
but the game is still unmodded
Maybe the path the ModInstaller uses isn't the right one?
(aka it does install the mods, but just doesn't put them in the right folder)
I know what's wrong
I think
is there a button that says enable all installed mods at the bottom of modinstaller
how isnt there a infinite Money Mod
ok thanks
In Debug Mod there's an "Items" button where you can give yourself all items, geo by the 1000s and essence by the 100s at a time
Thanks it works now
np
Hey guys. Im trying to get into speedrunning but ever since I installed mods, quitting to the menu crashes my game. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
I just have the Modding API that give a bunch of stuff like benchwarp, randomizer, probably skins but I havnt done that
Maybe you should just revert to unmodded for now? None of those mods are supposed to do that :/
I dont know if it is related but I cant launch the game without unplugging the controller either lol
Do you have Randomizer enabled or not though? It did freeze the game for me for a while whenever I wanted to start a new game and clicked the "cursed" option, so welp
OH
Yeah, mods and controller aren't going well together
You're supposed to unplug the controller, launch the game with mods, and then plug the controller, I think? Then again I don't have a controller so I don't know the details.
Guys, short question, are some skins deleted? I'm trying to find Grimm Knight by 复印纸 and can't find it anywhere
The other gdrive in pins
Ye. But it is wierd because I have a downpatch version of the game that doesnt load the mods but it still crashes
Yeah, there are two Google Drives for the skins
hey can someone say me how i see the debug menu
What do you mean by "downpatch"? You don't have the latest version of the game?
Also, use F1 to show/hide the debug menu
No I downpatched to 1.2.2.1 for speedrunning purposes
If someone knows where that grimm knight version is Dm me
ok thanks
But my normal up to date version is also readily accessible where I have mods installed
Then yeah maybe you should just try removing the mods altogether, I think some of them are meant to go with the latest version so maybe it creates problems with the mods ^^'
The down patch doesnt load the mods though, only my current patch does
idk maybe it is unrelated
I will try unistalling the mod API
@novel bronze press f1
I'm pretty sure the reason the mods are regularly patched is because of possible minor things like that
Also yeah, I think there are multiple versions of API depending on which version of the game you have? So maybe that's where the main incompatibility is?
If you have an API for the latest version of the game but you play in 1221, maybe that's where the main problem is
thanks I will try unistalling the API or disabling it if I can
Then again please take my words with precaution, I'm not actually in the modding community -- I know some basics of coding because of my job but that's all, I don't actually know how to mod.
@spring bane thx man
Hey, would anyone here be able to help me recover a save?
Wdym recover
My progress got deleted
I don’t think we can help
Actually
We might
As long as you didn’t make a new save in that slot
I didn't make a new save

But it's more like I lost progress on a save
I had 112% yesterday. For some reason Steam cloud hadn't worked since early July (when I had 110%). Transferred over to new laptop, but I am returning that laptop, so I deleted everything off my laptop. Went back to desktop and launched Steam, it asked me to upload/download. Pressed download (thought that meant it would download the progress I'd made in a different save yesterday) and instead it reset the 112% save (although the other save was fine).
Idk
Alright, thanks
I had two computers, but now just one
Also, the hours reset. I had 112% + ~80 hrs, now it's 110% and 65 hours
I cant lunch the game with custom knight mod
Sorry!
it didnt show any error message ,after the loading bar got to 100% it will close by itself
i have controller and i have modcommon installed
Okay I tried uninstalling the mods and that worked for my normal game but didnt effect my downpatched game so they were clearly separate issues
So, the problem is that my Hollow Knight version 1.2.2.1 crashes when I quit to the main menu and that really sucks for speedrunning
@vernal rain oh! That worked!Thanks!
1.2.2.1 closes when I exit as well
I pretty sure that disqualifies your speedrun if you want to submit it so... it is really annoying
Anyone know how to fix?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Well the default downloading place should be your downloads if that is what you mean
If you are trying to browse the install path for hollow knight, you can check in steam
Yeah i was being dumb
lol
I'm trying to get the Room Randomizer Mod to work.
When I installed it, QoL automatically installed itself. I additionally installed SeanPrCore.
When I start up the game now, it tells me that QoL FAILED TO LOAD!... is that bad?
now it loaded propperly, thanks!
