where did you put the last state exactly last time
was it right next to the transition?
it was top right on this image
more like top middle actually my bad
i can highlight it if you want
works fine for me
I'd maybe just set your hazard respawn hotkey to something else on the keyboard
yeah i don't think it has anything to do with that room specifically
alright i will
i'll see if it happens again next time i play
cuz your controller buttons could be reading as a F6 input
possibly
okay i see what's causing it
it's pressing it too fast
the initiation sequence for loading the save state gets interrupted if you double press it too fast
so just press it once and wait
spam pressing it will cause the issue again
hey so for some reason whenever I load up the game in the top left it says Qol has failed to load. Read modlog.txt
I'm not sure what I would have done to cause this, as it worked a day ago
you need vasi
I have vasi
screenshot it in your installer
vasi?
yes
okay, now your title screen
okay, now your title screen
@real jacinth
yeah I have no clue
did you try to add one yourself?
nah
k. well uninstall both on your installer
I had 2 before as well, but the not failed one disappeared when I turned the mod off and on in the mods settings
then install just 1
I don't have 2 installed on the installer though
I only installed 1 to my knowledge
it's probably a zip then or something. go to your game files location
and into hollow knight data -> managed -> mods
and show me what's in there
hmm
well you should get rid of moresaves
and see if that fixes it. if not, go to where your saves are and post the modlog here
Looks like settings aren't loading. Delete all API and QoL settings files in your saves location
yep
just misread mb
so I did that and it seems to be fixed
alright yeah it works now
ty
👍
how do i start the modinstaller on mac? i tried just double clicking on it and it gave me this message:
ah
has anyone else been unable to focus after using some mods?
I uninstalled all the mods but still unable to heal
its happening only on a single save file
what mods are "some mods"
how do you set a custom timescale with sanic mod?
yes but dyno is down
ah
k i have that folder open so ill try
aaaand i cant find the sanic folder, where is it
did you run the game with sanic installed
poorly translated mod is failing to download with "unhandled exception", any help?
download it yourself from the drive and press the manual install button on the installer
?mods
Google Drive with Mods - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_b9PFqx_PR9Um9MeFZMV21oWGs
how do i use dream sheild co op?
did you read the readme
yes
god
HOW DID I MISS THAT
Okay nevermind
im not dum
dumb
it just wont work for some reason
is it showing up on the top left of title screen?
what is showing up?
oh yeah
theres the mod saying its there but when i get in ive tried pressing every button that it tells you to in the readme
and its not there
Do you have num lock on
That what it was then?
Can you mod microsoft store / xbox gamepass?
My custom knight doesn't work. when i choose a skin from the list, the list goes away and when I unpause the knight just flashes and thats it
does anyone know what to do?
@sterile kindle no
oh
helo guys!
what can i do when me and my friend go to multiplayer, choose a custom skin, but we don't see eachother's skin, only what we choose but twice?
that's intended
o ok
tho i've seen a video where there are multiple people with different skins, how can you do that?
you can't
bruh
it was tried in development at one point, but was way too laggy
so it was removed
don't bruh me
it's gone
its still bruh, but thank you
bruh
already done
no
Xd
BRUHBRUH
it really does look like meme channel
Are y’all ok
My custom knight doesn't work. when i choose a skin from the list, the list goes away and when I unpause the knight just flashes and thats it
@night bane did you ever hear of modcommon. Get it. CustomKnight doesn’t work without it
I'm testing out the decorationmaster mod rn but when I load into the save file it doesn't let me open the pause menu
I've pressed the menu button on controller and esc on keyboard
there is a setting in json you have to set to true
I did set it to true
I don't mean the edit menu
I mean the pause menu
like how you access settings and quit the game
not all of them, and I just removed QoL and it worked
K
I still want to use QoL though
When you had Qol did you have Vasi
no I didn't, Idk which dependencies are required for each mod, I'll try again
maybe I should just have all of them at once lol
Always have them all
ok
Except weavercore since it has a history of messing up other mods
ah ok
it worked, thank you
I swear 90% of my problems are I just forget the dependencies lmao
my customknight wont work, whenever i choose a skin, the list just dissapeares and nothing happenes
when I leave pause, the knight flashes. Does anyone know why? I only have customknight installed.
You need to have all the other stuff installed, too. Mod Common and src
Install modcommon
Thanks
@night bane I literally told you the solution a couple messages up and pinged you....
Hey so earlier I asked about the exaltation mod and I think @wheat orchid said some charms were broken, is that something I’d have to fix myself if I want to work and if so where would I start lol
where do I make my own custom knight skin?
I'm getting this error when trying to install the mod installer. I'm using a GOG version of the game and don't have the modding api zip it's searching for any suggestions. If it's meant to add the zip during startup then it didn't do that either ( I got asked to select my game directory, then this came up )
@quiet anchor Copy the folder named default, rename it whatever you want your skin to be called, then edit the files inside with the stuff you want.

@long lynx look in the pins for how to reset the installer and try that
I have already tried that too, going into appdata and deleting the modinstaller folder
Try running the installer as admin
Thats been tried too, the thing is it was fine 6 months back and now it fails to download the modlist is what it seems like
yeah multiple times
And you have connection to the internet?
yep
yeah it's in my hollow knight directory
Why there?
easy to get to I suppose, does it need to go somewhere specific? It didn't matter before
I would think putting it on the desktop or something would be easier
Try putting it there
still getting the same error
Do you mean the mods I currently have installed, because there is no moddingApi files
nope that didn't work either
yeah, I wouldn't be dumb enough to mess with files with the game running LUL
I think that's gonna be what I have to do. I saw there was a googledoc with the list of mods on it, but thats painful
Simple question: how do I verify the integrity of the game files?
Steam
alright
Right click hk
Click properties
Click local files
Click verify
Wait for files to not validate
Wait for downloading
Done
oh wow, thanks
Np
wait, it said one failed
Wait for files to not validate
@wheat orchid
let me check if the game works now
We’re your saves not loading with mods?
yeah I'll just install them manually for now and throw this full details log here for a modder to look through at some point
What was wrong before
It said that after it verified
But what was wrong before
No, just that I was able to click out of the window using the Modding API and it messed me up with boss-fights and such
Oh k
me neither someone lol
Strange thing is nothing like that was ever changed afaik
A strange side effect that we don’t know the cause of
Along with other random things
Weird question, but does anyone who has Hollow Point (the gun mod) cannot equip skins and just turns invisible?
Do you have modcommon
Mhm
Let me check the source for anything with skins
I uninstalled the mod for the gun, but now I can't even equip a skin
I uninstalled a lot of mods to see if the skins would work, I extracted all the files but I guess not
you don't have modcommon
I was about to say
Mhm
Lies
Also couldn’t find anything in hollow point about changing the knight’s sprites
I did find some amazing variable names tho
I uninstalled modcommon
Cause I never had it before and when I installed it, it downloaded Vasi too, which I never used
They are required for certain mods to work
oh
So always have Modcommon, seanprcore, Vasi, and SFCore enabled
and frogcore when it finally gets on the installer
Do those all work together fine?
Yes
Ah, ok
They do nothing alone
I don't think I should be invisible. I put on the Daughter of Hollownest skin
What mods are enabled?
Benchwarp, Custom Knight, Debug Mod, Hollow Point [beta], Infinite Notches, Mod Common, SeanprCore, SFCore, and Vasi
When did you get daughter of hallownest
Well, I got it from the pinned messages where all the skins show up. It was about a few minutes ago
Did you do it with the game running
No?
Ok
Like download it?
Put it in the skin folder
It already is. 1 second
Oh, no I didn't
Also, these are the skins I have atm
It's all good
Cause my computer did a disk clean up and took away everything I had on steam, so I have to reinstall everything and it was a pain
K
with the custom skin mod whenever i go between zones and go to benches the skin resets
any way to fix this?
yeah
ooh is that what's going on?
i've had success with the item and enemy rando mods, but now i'm trying to install the hollow point gun mod, and i'm getting an exception: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\tmp\HKmodinstaller\hollow_knight_Data\mods/HOLLOWPOINT_CHANGELOG.docx' because it is being used by another process. any ideas? i don't have the game open, and i only have one instance of the installer open
move the installer to desktop and run as admin
why is this mod special? i'm not sure i want to run it as admin
ooookay. maybe i can install it manually
searching this discord for the specific error, it seems like a number of people have had this problem in the past with the custom knight mod and with hollow point. i tried custom knight and i got the same error. fwiw, benchwarp, modcommon, qol, randomapmod, randomizermod3, seanprcore, and vasi all worked, but custom knight and hollow point have this error. not sure why those mods specifically are interacting poorly with the mod installer, but in case anyone searches for this error in the future, installing the dll manually worked perfectly. it seems like those two in particular have files in the zip other than the .dll and the .md file. maybe there's some logic for dealing with unzipping other files that is broken.
i popped modinstaller.exe into ilspy and it does look like there's custom logic for files that aren't dll, txt, or md files, in ModInstaller.ModManager.InstallMods(). it looks like that's where the problem is
I tried to install the DecorationMaster mod, had some crashes, and now nothing works. When I open HK (I'm using Steam), the normal loading bar for mods doesn't appear. None of my saves show up (pic included). I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and the problem persisted even before I added mods back in. Anyone know what's up?
delete moddingapi.globalsettings.json in saves
Wow, that's quite an easy fix. Thanks!
I may be making a rookie mistake, but how do I use the translationmodv2.py script? I am unsure what to do to get past Please enter a file to translate as an argument. Usage: translationmodv2 "File Name" (optional: translation index to start from)
Hello everyone, I'm new at the server and I would like to know how change the directory of the modinstaller because i used to play a pirate version and i recently buyed the game. Can someone help me?
Ok.
It worked, thanks for the help!
I have a quick question
I play on the Xbox game pass version, which they have recently allowed to be played on a computer. Will mods work the same, even if i don’t have the game on Steam
I'm quite convinced it won't since you need a windows OS to use them, I'm no expert though
Speaking of, I have an issue as well
My kingsoul costs 5 notches and I can't seem to fix it - resetting kingsoul in the debug mod doesn't seem to help
Anyone got an idea of what to do?

@livid sentinel no
Oh
Windows store and gamepass don’t work

Notches are stored in the save files
Get the qol mod
Run the game
Open a save
Quit and save

Use control + f to find stuff with notch and refer to the image of charm numbers in the pins to find kingsoul/v heart
do any of these mods give unlimited or regenerative soul power?
debug does
thanks but how do i hide that little black menu on the right side
Repeating myseld, how do I use the translationmodv2.py script in the PoorlyTranslated mod? I am gettingPlease enter a file to translate as an argument. Usage: translationmodv2 "File Name" (optional: translation index to start from)But how exactly do I enter a file?
I've tried importing translationmodv2 in python 3, but it gives the same thing
@graceful niche f1 toggles all debug stuff on and off
@gentle relic I have no idea. What are you trying to do. To use poorly translated, just use manually install mod with mod installer
Poorly Translated comes with a Python script that lets you re-randomise the translation.
I don't understand how to use that script, however
K
Idk either
In the google drive there are a bunch of files to do with the text, maybe those?
I've installed the mod manually from the Google Drive due to modinstaller breaking when installing it, and the mod does work.
I meant the other files in the poorly translated folder
how do i install the guns mod
windows
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Install hollow point(the gun mod) and modcommon(required for the gun mod to work)
im using windows
I'm unsure how exactly to enter the file name. When I try that via the Python shell, it throws an invalid syntax error.
Idk
Maybe enter the path?
im using windows
@lost light yes and I gave you the correct mod installer for windows
the point mod isnt in the installer
look
H is between G and I
You didn’t show and mods starting with g or I.....
Screenshot
The mod is called HollowPoint, not Point
Eh, I'll try understanding how the python script works, maybe somehow you need to edit the .py file idk.
Thanks
Hi all, using hollow point and i cant figure out how to shoot/reload? Thanks in advance yall
the gun reloads with soule and shoot is left click
if there's no bullets le and rejoin @valid cedar
@lost light
@lost light @wheat orchid TYSM

Update on that, when trying to launch it via cmd, it throws this error, and I don't know the cause.
Same happens if you put, for example,
py translationmodv2.py "EN_Stag"
Ah, I figured it out. Turns out the first line of code in the script, #!/bin/python3, was breaking it for some reason.
Where are the Radience Fight Background Sprites? (Dream realm, normal version, not absrad unless they are the same ones idk)
I can't find them.
Ive looked in black egg temple folder, godhome folder, dreams folder etc (in the google drive)
And I can't find it, (can find the godhome background tho)
sprites should be a mixture of the Architecture & Enviroment > Dream and Architecture & Enviroment > Area specfic architecture > Godhome folders
i know this channel has the reminder bot but you need one that reads the chat somehow and looks for the people asking for the mod installer
Hi, I'm very new to modding. Is there one for having the maps automatically available? I'm totally map blind
I installed the mod thing and now my cursor can move out of the window in-game even when the cursor is supposedly "not there"
Known issue, no fix
i wouldn't call it an issue
pretty sure it's intended
unless i'm not understanding what you're saying
the API unlocks the cursor from the active game window
so i'm having trouble with modding
i downloaded the modding menu
mod menu 2
for macos catalina i'm pretty sure
and whenever i start up my game, the mods are not there
they're supposed to be written down on the top left corner, right?
did you actually install anything
yes
did you install the modding api, modcommon, seanprcore, and vasi?
modding api is the most important but a lot of mods use the other 3
just downloaded modding api
i'll see if it works now
i didn't download it since it had windows right next to it
mb
...so why didn't you?
but i read that just now lol
oh ok
oh and another thing
i downloaded the custom knight mod
but i can't seem to find the folder i'm supposed to put it in
even though i browsed the local files and everything
see i can't find the managed folder though
so make one
alright i'll see what i can do
so i made the managed, mods and customknight folder
do i just put the folder with the pngs in it into the customknight folder?
yes
into another folder in that spot
labeled with whatever you want it called
so like.... managed/mods/customknight/starryknight/[PNG files]
as long as the PNGs are directly in that folder and not in a sub-folder
yeah.
I think i misread your sentence
my b
ok uh
yay finally someone who understands that the folder has to open up to images
Yay
For what
No
you need modcommon
oh yeah that
ok wait
so look
i created managed, mods and customknight
and then
i put a folder inside customknight
with the pngs in it
right
?
yes
Yeah?
that's how i'm supposed to do it
right
alright
Screenshot
hold on give me a second
sorry i had to
lol
sorry i type like that sometimes lol
screenshot your title screen, in-game pause, and also where you put the skin folder (so we can see the file path above it)
Probably something like modcommon missing
because apple likes to "innovate"
"look at this brand new connector we have"
Ah yes, this charger “innovation” is way more convenient than using the same one for everything and continuing to use the universal headphone cord....
"you can now enjoy our wacky connection technology for $200 extra
yeah the path must be wrong
I don’t think that’s where you were supposed to make those folders
yeah, you need to go inside hk
oh
how do i do that tho
you put the folders next to it
Wait Mac doesn’t have right click?
it does
Makes sense
🔫 apple im coming to your house
Anyway, the path for Mac is still different than that
Afaik
Guess not
I thought it had something to do with a “contents” folder
the path has been changed multiple times
i think that's where it used to be
then jngo changed it
Y can’t Mac just be the same.... apple please stop advertising your product as “superior” or make it like the rest
my macs trackpad is bigger than my phone lmao
is there any way you could delete already existing items with the decorationmaster mod?
does anyone know what went wrong? all i did was install the modloader v8.6.0
delete moddingapi.globalsettings.json in the saves directory
is that in the local files?

Guys im begging if anyone can help me get the mods to work ;-;
zaliant just helped me get mine working, try doing the same thing to your files
When i launch the game it doesnt show anything on the top left indicating the mod starting
I have modded before, but i had to uninstall everything and install again
i asked you this the other day and you never answered
My saves are normal
what other mods do you have enabled? and what things have you done manually
Even when i just launch the modding app it doesnt show it
Manually i created a whole second game folder
that's your issue
To mod on that one, and leave the main game unmodded
you didn't create a second one properly, so the original is being launched
That could be a thing. I followed a guide online, and it just said to copy the files and create the new text file with that number
What should i do? Delete all the files and start over?
you probably created the text file wrong
and/or selected the wrong exe file to launch if you added it to steam after
and/or you modded your original game files instead, and you are properly launching the duplicate.
I can't say for sure without looking through your files
This is what my copied folder looks like, along with the text file
My mod installer is already pointing towards that folder, instead of the main one
you named it wrong
get rid of the .txt
your pc is reading it as steam_appid.txt.txt
i can
I feel so dumb rn
happened a lot before the guide was updated
it's a txt file already
don't need to add another .txt
glad it's working now
Thanks
I'll just have to sort out how to use the debug now
Finally i'll be able to practice 🙂
hey yall i play a randomizer and i beat uumuu but quirrel wont appear at tube

Hi, How can I download the glass soul mod for the latest version?

yes
Does debug mod include a way to give yourself nail upgrades directly (I know it can give you pale ore / geo, but I don't want to have to go to the nailsmith for this)? If not, is there another mod someone can recommend for this?
@sour rampart press + or - to increase or decrease your nail damage the same amount nail upgrades do. There is no limit except going below 0
Thanks!
So what is the path I need to head to installModInstaller still gives me the message to buy the game since the install directory of the game is still set as the pirated's, but when I open the ModInstaller to change the directory. I already tried to download the program again with no luck whatsoever.

Hi all, is there a place to find the modding api for 1.2.2.1?
I've misplaced mine
I figured out how to get to Twitchmod (I'm a new kind of idiot), but now I run the game with my information in the json file, it reverts back to the original version, and the command txt isn't in the mods folder. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
And yes, I've ran the game
short answer: yes you did something wrong
it reverts back to the original version
not sure what this means
did you use the installer?
show your title screen and installer
They probably edited the wrong file
@primal bolt did you make sure to edit the file with the shorter name? If you did the longer one, that will be overwritten
🤔
why does it take so long for the modinstaller thing to load
your net sucks or your AV is blocking it, idk
my friend is having trouble with mod manager
they arent able to open it, they just get this error
reset the installer (how-to in the pins)

did they read the popups?
is there a boss hp mod

Boss hp bar is the name of the old one, enemy hp bar is the name of the new one

Do I need a save editor if I wanna get rid of some charms? Was testing some harder stuff with mods and wanna go back to before I had the last few charms I was missing(I know which ones, just wanting to know if there’s a way to get rid of that so I can “find them or get them” again)
does debug mod let me change nail damage or instakill bosses in pantheons?
How do I revert nail damage back to default pure nail?
are there any mods that let me change nail damage past basic nail?

hey, on linux, when I have modding api version 1.4.3.2-57 my controller isn't detected as an input device
Hey so i downpatched hollow knight last month but noticed that went i went back to the recent patch mods werent working. So i deleted the downpatched version but the mods are still not working on the recent one. Downpatch and mods on the recent one works fine on my other pc, but not the pc i usually play on
Is there something i can do to fix this? I find it odd how one pc wont work with mods when the downpatch is gone, but the other works fine with the downpatch there
you gotta describe "wont work"
are the mods in the top left at all of the pause menu at all
Each time i load the most recent patch, the game starts by telling me about the save symbol and that a controller would be best
And no, no mods show in the top left and there is nothing when clicking on the options either
reset the installer, how-to in the pins
it still won't work
please someone

@stark willow yes. Refer to the image of charm numbers in the pins for the number used in the save file for the charm. You can also skip using a save editor by getting the qol and Vasi mods, going into a save, exiting out, going into the save files path(a couple messages above) and editing the new .json file of your save(it will look like user#.json where # is the save slot number) in notepad or your preferred text editor. Then run the game, go into and out of the save again, and then your changes to the json file should be saved to your actual save file.

Hey y'all - I'm new to Discord - thank you for having this space! I have been successfully running the Randomizer 3 mod for several months and have gotten really far into a random run. I went to open the game yesterday and all I saw was this. It wouldn't load my saved games. It also didn't show the startup screen where it warns you not to close the game while it's saving, nor does it play the music. I backed up all my game files and save files and uninstalled the game and re-installed the game. It would then open just fine and it had all 4 of my saved games, but it wasn't loading any of the mods. I uninstalled all mod files and the mod installer and reinstalled the installer, downloaded the API and benchwarp just to test it, based on the instructions in the penultimate pinned post on this Discord, and again the game would open with save files, but without mods. I think I tried some more things in there, but I've now gotten into a cycle of verifying integrity of game files, opening the game just fine without mods, installing the mod installer & API, opening the game where it won't load the saves as shown in the image, clicking "revert back to unmodded," getting a message saying it can;t find the vanilla game, and back to verifying the integrity. Does anyone have any thoughts? Appreciate any help I can get! Thank you!
EDIT: Bought the game on Steam, running on Windows.
do i need mod common for kaizo level (decorationMaster mod) or can i turn it off
why would you turn it off
@raw lion go to your saves location and delete all files that have globalsettings.moddingapi in them
to get a standard for speedrunning
modcommon is a library mod that other mods use to work
okay thank you
ive already asked this but noone replied so uh
how do i make the randomized enemy mod randomize every enemy? and not just a group of enemies? by that i mean turning all idk leaping husks into an aspid
how do i make it randomize every individual enemy like everyone else
change the settings
where
options -> mods
yes, you change the mode to like chaos or something
there's a setting somewhere in game where you can change it between 3 different randomization settings
did you read the mod's readme
i clicked the button bcs i couldnt find the manual install thing
I just opened the readme no problem
"once loaded, go to options > enemy randomizer to configure the mod"
"global options:
normal mode
room mode
chaos mode
randomize geo"
did i have to manually install it or no?
no
ohh
idk whats wrong with mine then
is it supposed to be this thing?? bcs idk how to doit
go to title screen and click the enemy randomizer button
same thing you have at the bottom there
but do it at title screen
okay my game crashedim gonna have 2 load it up again
im loading the enemy randomizer rn again
ill try n do that
OH
THANK YOU SM!!
Yeah so I tried what you said Mickely and I'm kind of confused, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't on multiplayer mod. Sometimes it works but sometimes one of us seems frozen to the other but both our connections are fine.
how to fix it?
reset installer
and if sometimes the connection in MP doesn't work, just close everything and try again
and make sure you're doing all the steps in the proper order
the people connecting to the host can't be the first to do so
didn't help :c
I clicked on the mod installer and it said hollow knight's files couldn't be located.
I did this while it was opened and while it was closed.
okay
what should i do
reset the installer
ok
and read the popups when you run it again
@supple tinsel known bug, you can try using a program to turn your controller inputs into keyboard inputs
@wheat orchid there is no fix for it besides that?
I reinstalled it, but it's saying the same thing. Is resetting and reinstalling different
yes
where did you put the installer
and did you read the popups
before pressing yes
okay. so do what I said
reset the installer, and READ the popups
don't just answer yes
and put the installer on your desktop
I don't know how to reset

the folder
why does it takes so long for the mod installer to load
i double click it, but then it takes at least 2 minutes for it to load
i'm also seeing this error code when i try to download certain mods. like the child of light mod
Hey, sorry if this is a dumb question im new to hk modding, but where do I download the installer? on nexus and DB mods the description said to come to the discord and not download that version
look in pinned messages
Ah, thank you
why won't my mods download once i've gotten enough
i'm trying just to get all of them
now that i've gotten most of them, it won't let me download any
for some reason I keep getting this pop up whenever I try to install child of light mod
i downloaded some custom knight skins and now i have a couple problems. One is that it feels like i have quick focus on, except its even faster. Also, healing only takes a little bit of soul and sometimes it looks like I should be able to cast VS but i can't. Another problem is that my geo sprites are gone. Thank you if anyone can help!
@green atlas use the manually install mods button on the installer after downloading the mods from the google drive

Hmmm
Try installing hollow point, opening a save, exiting out, and disabling hollow point
then when i reloaded the game and I hadnt selected a custom knight yet, it had fixed itself, but if i select a skin, it comes back
you mean the gun mod?
Yeah
ok
But from what you described, idk
do you mean the hollowpoint beta on the mod manager?
Yes
ok
But it probably won’t work from what you described
@raw lion go to your saves location and delete all files that have globalsettings.moddingapi in them
@real jacinth Thank you! This worked to open the game with the mods active and open my saved games. However, now it seems that my saved game that was random is not random any more. Is there something I can do to re-associate the random set up?
No
So what happens when you install things like mantis gods, does it just immediately make it so you battle them or something else
No
Thank you for the help
What does that mean
Then when you go to where the boss takes place it will be changed
Mantis gods is at the mantis lords location
And godhome
Ye
Ok, so they spawn in different areas, that makes sense
And rando saves can be loaded later, but only if the rando version is the same as when it was made
Nkg
Both godhome and dirtmouth
Also, read the readmes
Yeah
They give info on what you're asking
What if you’ve beaten nkg already
Godhome
Igg also respawns him
Ok, just checking, ty for helping me
Again.... Read the readme
why is mod installer taking so long to open
it takes me like 5 minutes from when i first click on it until it actually opens
You must be on mac
Potato pc?
no, unless you count an i5 as a potato
yeah
When
yesterday
Did you move it to desktop
no
And it's this one?
its in my hollow knight game folder
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Move it to desktop
hey can somoene help me out? its saying to purchase the game when i have it on steam
Did you ever have a pirated version
Delete it
Then reset the installer following the instructions in the pins
Oh yeah my installer takes forever to load too
Mickley sorry it took a while to get back but the multiplayer mod still isn't working after trying what you said.
What did you try
If you look in #modding-discussion I clearly have experience with it
I do love it when the last 2 people I try to help don’t respond
@ me if anyone needs me
there are 2 mods in the installer that won't install for me i get an error message. They're, child of light and poorly transelated
how do i fix that
You download them from the google drive
Then use the manually install mods button on the installer
ok, but once i download them from google drive and manually install them, is there a button in the installer that will pop up, that lets me enable or disable the mod?
so I wasn't able to revert my game back to unmodded (probably since I'm on a new computer) so I just disabled them all manually, but I went onto one of my save files and I've been having little glitches happen with the sprites, like lifeblood will sometimes overlap my normal health. I'm definitely just paranoid but I thought I'd still check with yall to make sure my save isn't corrupted or anything
the child of light mod on google drive is outdated. I tried updating it with the mod installer, but it gave me the error code again
Hello
Just wondering, does the other person joining me in multiplayer have to connect with hamachi or no
Yes
Happy I asked that
@green atlas did you think that the reason the installer thinks it might be wrong(like installing it)
@mellow knot probably not your save. If you got hk on steam, go to your library, right click hk, click properties, click local files, click verify integrity of local files, wait for files not to validate(I don’t need to know that you have invalid files, the modding api is a invalid file), wait for steam to download stuff, the end
Game back to normal
oh thanks
Hey @wheat orchid
Just for confirmation, once they connect to the VPN and I’m in the hollow knight server he just has to put in what I do right
@open steppe once they are in hamachi, you can start hollow knight and click connect. After you(the host) does that, the other(s) can start hk and click connect. The host can either use their (hamachi)ip or 127.0.0.1 while everyone else must use the ip
And no one changes the port from 26950
The final box is the name you will use
Other players will see it
@normal furnace try going to your save files path and deleting all files with ModdingApi in them
@wheat orchid hey sorry for not getting back sooner, i had to go to work. but where do i find the moddingApi? i can't find it in the save or game files at all. if you mean it like deleting every mod i have, i've tried that. won't work

Oh
I must have pinged the wrong person
Well that will probably come back to kill me
Go to steam
ah, that's alright. mistakes happens
Right click hk
Click properties
Click local files
Click verify integrity
Wait a while(don’t tell me if files are invalid, that’s supposed to happen)
Done
Don’t open the installer until you want mods again
thanks, i'll try that
nah i got it on steam
K
you said the files would be invalid, ye? mine were validated. does that make a difference or not?
I meant it would say some files need to validate
By that, those files would be “invalid”
ah ok
Now they have been returned to vanilla
alright, thanks for the help
define "old build"
What
this is for modding help
Idk how to use it
But where did you purchase the game
Idk
My only guess was it wasn’t from steam
Are you logged into steam?
