Ah
like I said, I can't help you there, all I can say is make sure you followed all instructions correctly
wdym
i saw someone streaming here
Yeah?
all the abiklitys like dash are different they had a different skin and there masks wher stars and the soul thingy was different
no steel soul
something elses
else
You'll want this, I believe
Skins can be found in the pinned messages
Yes
ok ty
If you need help with the customknight ping me
It's one of the only things I actually know what I'm doing, mostly
ok
is comstum knight the one that changes ur skin
i want a hornet skin
@ivory aurora sorry for the ping but can you help me?
I knocked my audio stuff over
Now, do you know how to find the game's files?
run, %appdata%
You're using steam, right?
what does the darkness mod do
Darkness
?
You know how there are some areas that you need the lantern to see in?
ohhh
The mod does it to the entire game
It's a challenge mod
ooook
Anyways, to get the customknight to work, you need skins
go into hollow_knight_Data
then into > Managed > Mods
You see a folder Customknight?
yep
yep
Any skin you want to use must be downloaded and placed next to default
ok just drag it in
Like this
can i have hornet
The skin folder you dowloaded, yes
Of course
where
Just go into the pins
there is hornet?
There's a link to a Drive folder with skins
none says hornet
Where are you looking?
ok
I myself never tried to get a hornet skin, so I'm not sure
Ah, alright
It seems like there's a bit more in there
you'll want these only, I believe
how do i get the hornet in my folder
yeH
which one
do i choose
wait i cant drag any
confusion intensifies
uh
Although
idk, like I said, I never tried hornet specifically
If I may suggest, there's a much more large-scale hornet skin
Daughter of Hallownest
No, not that
o
Lapis Lightning
It's in TWP's folder
second is TWP's skins
idk what tja is
...yes
Get the folder containing these images
which images
These
where do i put it
Download and place it inside the Customknight folder
...yep
and then drag into folder
mhm
once i opnen the game what do i do
when you pause the game, it should show you skin selection
I see no reason not to
ok
Just be sure you don't wreck your savefile with it
Somehow
idk
I used it only to hide the HUD and stuff, for screenshots
yep, like that
idk what de bug does
Debug allows you to basically be god
how do you toggle the abilitys
You can turn on/off any ability, charm, upgrade, etc.
but how do you toggle it
duplicate enemies, instakill, etc.
Uh
It should say it in the readme file
F3 or something iirc, but you should check
went onto random save
And?
by turning it off
try pressing f1
ok
Pause game, select skin from menu
crystalblobbles?
yeah, that's a modded boss
yes
it says
makes them shoot crystal hunter projectiles
where is the thin that makes me and my spells look different
customknight
?
when i clock pause
hmm
ok
wtf
why are there red numbers counting
and how
do i equip the sin
skin
turn off the debug to equip the skin
also
I have no idea what the number is, I need more context
Like I said, barely used debug, you saw I even forgot the hotkey
And does it work?
Wait didn't you say you turned off debug
i think benchwarp
Like, I don't know the interface of the others, so I don't know what that is
If you say so
point is
just click the skin you want
wait what
is that a
oh custom knight
I though you meant some kind of halloween mod
anyways
and does it work?
only the other stuff...
It should change almost everything, except for charms
Yeah, you're blue now
Also you have cool spells
I don't get what are you looking for when you say "dramatic"
you mean something like this?
Look, now that you know how to use it, just get whatever skins you want
No problem
ok i found the one they had
What was it? I'm interested now
does anyone else also have a problem with benchwarp or just me?
what does more saves do?
also how do you use benchwarp?
Is there other mods that have to go with bench warp to make it work?
Seanprcore and modcommon I think
Because when I install it, it takes off all my other mods
In game?
yeah
Are you using a controller?
Unplug until title screen
okay I'll try it
if you have clicked ''get all charms'' in debug mod, is there any way to reverse it
save editing
and how do you do that
depends on which way you do it
the easiest way
this is it @ivory aurora
that depends on your opinion
with mods, you install QoL
then run the game
then close the game
then go to saves location and edit the .json associated with the save you're editing
then run the game
with QoL still installed
@wheat orchid I tried unplugging and it still didn't work
@real jacinth Do you know how to fix benchwarp not working?
Do you have moresaves enabled
No
And it causes no mods to load in game?
yeah
show your installer
and title screen
wdym
what do you change to not have any charms in the save .json
so we can see
okay give me a sec
you change all charms to false
ohhh, ok thanks
well, looks like you have 2 game installs then
wdym
you have 2 copies of the game on your pc
the installer is changing one, but you are launching the other
right click your game in steam->properties->local files. see where that takes you, then change default install path in the installer to match that
and they all show up top left?
yes
get rid of itemchanger and show hitboxes
okay
could get rid of infinite notches too
I took all off and it didn't work
you'll need modcommon still
does vanilla in randomizer mod make the game back to normal
Wdym
did you scroll down
no
how do you install hollow point mod
with the installer
no d
?
The mod installer broke my hollow knight game.
I already tried verifying files integrity and disabling anti viruses.
And when I try to use The Mod Installer it says that it was unable to locate the game files
so what's the actual problem
The mod installer isn't working.
did you try resetting it following pinned instructions
^^^ having same problem
saves wont load, nor will achievements, meny music wont even play

ok
what should I do after deleting the ModInstaller folder in appdata?
run it again
thanks it works!
the game broke again.
The main menu theme song is not playing and I can't run my save file
do what I just told ultrover above
there is a lot of modding api global setting files should I delete all of them?
there should only be 2
what are their names?
globalsettings.moddingapi
what should I do next? relaunch the mod installer?
thank you it worked
what's up broskis, how does one go about playing the multiplayer mod?
Host: both multiplayer mods and modcommon
Everyone else: multiplayer client and modcommon
You must keep the port(middle setting) in the settings at the top right to the value of 26950. The setting on top of it is the ip of the host. The setting below it is the name other people will see.
Either the host needs to port forward port 26950 or everyone uses hamachi(or a program like hamachi) to connect to a hamachi network(you can create networks of up to 5 people for free), then use the hostβs hamachi ip instead of their real one
If you are going to use hamachi and have more than 5 people playing, tell me
?
I was saying make multiple networks
Have different people join each one
Had it work before
thatβs a lot
I thought it would be monthly or yearly
lol
pffft
need a bit of help with something. I'm trying to install a mod and it just gives me an "Unhandled excepting has occurred" message with Details, Continue, and Quit, what does this mean? And would this place be where I would ask about this?
It says Central Directory corrupt, what does this mean?
try to download the zip from the mods gdrive, then the button that says "manually install mods"

Which mod
every mod I try to install after Dreamshield Coop, including ones I uninstall
I'll try manually doing it I guess
Where did you get the installer
If it's doing it for all mods, that's an issue
If it's just 1, then meh
from the link of a Youtube video's description, showing that you can get the link from here
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
alright
it gives the same error message
I did not, lemme try that
same error message
guess I'll just try doing manually
I guess I did something that fixed it or something, thank you for the help you gave
Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to adjust the speed settings for the DreamShield coop mod to make it a bit slower?
I'm trying to open the manager but it keeps saying something is outdated instead of opening the manager
so I warped betwen pain of path and WP too fast and I'm now stuck here, I here buzzsaw, there's WP music and I can swing my nail
welp nevermind I manage to find path of pain entrance and got out of that bug
@flat void you can toggle slow or fast mode with 0
I mean any way to make it a bit slower than the default slow cause it still feels really fast even on slow lol
The only way is editing the code
I should really update it with a way to do that and change the controls
But I have a headache so no
just modcommon i think
that's just what it does. after it runs through all your out of date mods the installer opens
Ah ok
@novel bronze mod installer or mod installer 2?
Brb
Oh btw the problem is you need to install ModdingApi
Itβs on the list
That just means the version you have installed is out of date. Click the out of date button to update it

the mod manager is saying "The process cannot acces the file 'C:\tmp\hkmodinstalle\hollow_knight_data\managed|mods\customknight\default/baldur.png' because it is being used by another process." i have no clue what that process is and how to stop it
ok i got stuff working now nvm

Thank you so much.

Do I need to extract it?
Checking
pure vessle

in the menu
yup
yup

oh
mickely

it only recorded crome
just a sec
no
im using xbox live recording
no
xbox game bar (on windows 10)
ok how
ok
wich mod menu
ah
I didn't have mod common 
Lol
should I use the modinstaller that's on radiance.host or the new modinstaller 2?
somehow I can't disable my ascii camera mod through modinstaller 2, it throws an exception in the command line and crashes without disabling the mod
I only have vasi and ascii camera installed
here is the exception that it threw that I retrieved before the modinstaller crashed
You could head to the folder where your mods are stored and just either delete or move the file yourself if the mod installer isn't working
There may well be a way to fix the installer but I don't know about that
Me and my friend are trying to play the multiplayer mod using hamachi and whenever one of us connects the other cant and instead the disconnect button turns back to connect
Can you only mod on pc?
yes
even more restrictive: only the steam, gog and humble bundle versions are moddable
@shell tide screenshot both pause menus and the hostβs hamachi and @ me when you send them

for my friend who is the top screen
when he exits the pause menu
its disconnects him
I see the problem
Only the host can have multiplayer server
It prevents you from joining anyone but yourself
ah so should my friend uninstall the multiplayer server mod
Well, whoβs hamachi is the screenshot?
mine
So you are the intended host?
yes
Well both of you are using your friendβs ip
alright thanks
The reason it might have been swapping who it disconnects is because the interaction with the server mod is a little more complicated than how I explained it
alright
also theres another problem now
we managed to connect
my friend sees me moving ingame
but i cant see him moving ingame even though hes saying he is
Ok
Both of you close hk. Then the host opens hk and connects. Then you open hk and connect in this order.
k
If it still doesnβt work, you can try swapping who is hosting(both of you use your ip, you get the server mod, then your friend disables the server mod
alright
thanks ill try it
btw is my ip the numbers next to the hamachi on and off button
ayy it works
thanks
Np
Yes
Click them then click copy ipv4 to copy it
k thanks
what is the link for hollow knight mods
for the mod installer?
yes
thanks
ho ho ho merry christmas and i hope all of you have a wonderful new year (:
β€οΈ
π
thanks you too
i got it from there
@lone path that is a extremely old mod installer
ah sorry
The new one is in the channel description
You can also get mod installer 2 from the pins
I have a serious problem with the mod installer
Whenever I attempt to run the exe, it downloads 0 MB of 0 MB of mods, then Microsoft .NET pops up and says "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application." and "Central Directory corrupt"
I have the latest Microsoft .NET Framework
is there anyone who can help?
Hm
I've also downloaded the mod installer from the link provided by the bot
Aight I can help with lots of problems but this ain't one of them
I've never had this kind of trouble downloading mods for anything else
You probably already tried deleting and reinstalling the installer
Indeed
I havent tried completely reinstalling the game, but it doesn't seem connected
It most likely isn't
Almost entirely likely it isn't
Well, I have no idea where to even start
You'll need to wait for the others
Alright
Redfrog passed here a while ago 
Weird that I can get minecraft mods and KSP mods without issue
And haven't seen any of the modding staff
Hell, even Far Cry
You might need to wait a long time, depending on your luck
lovely
...
Good luck, I suppse.
Do you know how to manually install mods and where to find them>
yep
I don't know where to find them though
Not most of them
What mods were you planning to get?
Ah, nevermind, I probably can't help anyways
Hello can someone help with my issue in #modding-discussion
Oh boy, it's like my game only worse
I have that only in the actual game
Wish I could help you, it would mean I know how to solve it
Are you trying to get a specific mod when this happens, or just open the installer
what mod randomizes enemies
enemy randomizer
does anyone know where i can get the latest version of the hollow point mod?
thank ypu
yo any one know wher to fined a dbug mode mod and how to instal it manualy
i wana take screen shots
if u see this and know the answer dm me with it i am going to bed
Bruh
Both are exactly the same
They say outdated because you refuse to let the installer update them
Ever heard of checking the pins or channel description? Itβs on both mod installers
can i use the MultiplayerServer mod without haimachi?
and do i need to have client installed too?
ModInstaller2 is it just a new gui for the mondsintaller or new functionality? There's no linux version from what I can tell, can I get by with the old one?
You can do it without hamachi but then you need to port forward the port 26950(look up how to port forward. It isnβt safe with internet strangers btw)
Host: both multiplayer mods plus modcommon
Everyone else: multiplayer client plus modcommon
alright
@sacred barn you can use the original. 2 was just made for easier use on Mac
@gleaming quiver Thanks!
thank
im having trouble changing my skin in custom knight can anyone help
ive already installed the skin i want but when i try to switch i become either a box or invisible
easy question, do you have modcommon?
modcommon is a dependency for customknight
oh, i meant the path to the customknight skin itself
if you dont have modcommon, you can get it, i think that might fix it
same problem
is it in a folder?
yup
where do i find mod common
on the mod installer
I cant do any more work on it right now, can I dm you on saterday.
?
cheembot
cheembot?
ive setup hamachi and all that
so to host do i still type in the ip and click connect?
or is that only client
guys I closed the mod manager and I cant find the file can anyone tell me the location file?
wherever you downloaded it to
I mean the mod manager not the installation
so probably in your downloads folder
yeah, it doesnt install a mod manager, it is the mod manager
so do I open mod installer again ?for the download mods?
yes
The host needs both mods
And either the host needs to port forward the port 26950 or everyone needs to use a program like hamachi
Are you port forwarding
how do i do that
How to get Installer
Pins and channel description
Where is that?
On pc top right pin icon, and channel description is at the top center
Is there a up to date guide on the multiplayer mod?
So
I have this weird issue where my mod browser wonβt let me update and download stuff, since I donβt have a jit thingy.
I fixed it kinda, since all I do is run it as a administrator, through my files
May I please ask, how do you shoot in the hollow point mod?
if only there was a readme or something that explained everything
Thank you.
I was trying to select the installation path for the ModInstaller. I knew where the path was supposed to go and what folders I needed. However, some of the folders just didn't show up on the "path finding process"? I was confused since i couldn't find steam when it asked me to find a directory, the folder was there, but the ModInstaller wasn't picking it up (as well as many other folder) Why is this happening?
how do you download that big menu with noclip and items?
it's the Debug Mod, you can find it in the Installer
pinned messages
witch one in pinned?
oh wait
omg
ty
@wraith owl is the best!
once the mod is enabled do i just launch from steam?
yes, it should be there
you'll be able to tell from the main menu in the top left corner
If you mean the installer with all the mods, you can open it again since it's only an executable
All guides should be up to date
I meant like a video
Fireborn has a vid on multiplayer
Thereβs also this made by a friend I used to play multiplayer with: https://youtu.be/XMTyCr8x4uY
1 - https://github.com/jngo102/HollowKnight.Multiplayer

it sias this site might be harmhull for the mod installer link its not ,ok

Skip the part where they download from github and manually install the multiplayer mods since 1. They didnβt explain it correctly 2. The mods are automatically on the installer now
do you need a vpn if your on the same wifi network
I think you can do lan but I donβt know everything on how
f
I donβt know anyone irl who plays hk
Ok so I got the mod installer but everytime I go to use the readme to figure out what the mod is it just gives me a error messege and it wont let me read it

Relatively new to pc gaming so I dont know how to find those files
Nvm I figured it out
hey guys, when I install the hollow point mod, I noticed that my nail got debuffed by 50%?
enemies that normally take 2 hits of starting nail to kill now take 4
is that intentional?
would be great to do a play through of HK with the nail doing normal damage and just having the gun to switch to as another attack option
huh, I just read the FAQ and it says the nail can be scaled up over time too, cool, looking forward to it π
Hi Guys
@storm flare i reduced the base damage to give the gun an edge
but the scaling is a little bit higher to compensate
so basically
mod lvl 1 nail is weaker vs vanilla lvl 1 nail
mod lvl 5 nail is stronger vs vanilla lvl 5 nail
Do I need to buy HK on Steam to use mods?
Becuase I got a pc today and I wanna try some mods
(Sorry not an expert) If you donβt have it already then yes Iβd recommend steam to buy it. Microsoft store doesnt work with mods and Iβm not sure on gog, Iβm mostly familiar on steam
Alright after I set up everything I'll get HK on Steam and then figure out how to get the mod installer
Thanks
Np
Last time i tried the mod installer the game just stops for a second whenever i use my nail
No not at all lol
260 fps normally- it aint my pc
No but i should reinstall it and it might work
Lul ill do it sometime, rn im in bed tho
guys I have problems with mods
when I install modding api my game goes crazy
savefiles loading forever
I just installed the mod installer 2 (windows) and its recognized I have HK
what do I do now
Ok I got the mods working
i cant find atomic radiance
ok so now im trying to use hollow point but the gun shoots nothing
and the ui is messed up
Why is it happening
Check your charm setup
And Google hollow point mod and read the GitHub page
Some charms can change your gun so like you can only have one of them equiped. If you have more than one then you can't shoot
I just turned the game off and on and it's fine now

that face is just so sad
custom knight mod not working...
I followed fireb0rn's video exactly but when i press esc there are no skins
what text is there
can you screenshot your customknight folder
whats inside pink bow
just images
LOL
i knew it was time to get a new computer
all other mods i tried out works fine
it's only this one
Not too be patronising
yeah that mod has a diff directory, ill try and find it
But it's definitely just images, not another folder THEN images?
Okay
not that stupid
I had this same conversation with somebody last week and it turned out that were just straight up lying to me about it. π
contents/managed/mods/customknight
So I wanted to just be sure
i believe that's where the customknight folder needs to go
mac is a bit weird so it's contents/resources/data/managed/mods/customknight
thats where all my mods installed themselves
yeah, that's normally where it goes, though i believe the customknight folder needs to go to the other directory
i can also do this, but it'll take a while
@wheat orchid ^ mac directory custom knight stuff
he knows for sure but christmas is a thing
I think you have to create the windows file path yourself, something like that
I mean, create the path and put the skins there, don't move any mods. I swear I saw the exact path somewhere. But idr where
does anyone know where to find the mod installer for mac
thanks
How do I switch to the gun in Hollow Point? I am on controller
Have you tried disabling it first?
Does it do this for other mods too? Or just that one? And what installer do you have. And where did you put the file
Did you have the game or installer open when you did
Are you on windows
?i

Does Custom Skins mod need ModCommon?
Which mods does Custom Skins need?
Okay, installed it, thank you!
Can you install mods on Microsoft Store version of Hollow Knight?

my bench warp isnt working it says chyeck mod txt idk what that is

my Hollow Point seems to be broken.... the gun does NOT shoot. its reloaded and stuff but when I press attack it just makes a weird noise

Does hollow knight not work with a switch pro controller on Big Picture?
hi, so i tired doing the mod here https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTXjwmjpzMcm4GuZNeiSiX8rp2neYwHeX1IwNn0mi7xnvCxBzEJlnlLnkp_HvVf4u4S6vhAJQTVH8xE/pub#h.of440xblyi0 and i just can't figure it out. i feel like i followed the directions right, but my game never even shows the mod.
nvm i fixed it
use the installer
@real jacinth so i do. it says it already has the mod api in it right? so i don't do that one. i make sure the directory is right. it's the base hollow knight folder in steam steam apps common right? then i activate the ones that it says are required. boot up hollow knight through steam and no mod
show me the installer you're using
so i have a fresh install of hollow knight just in case i was fucking up. on that docs page i click the download link next to modinstaller
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
if this is the one you have, then screenshot it
screenshot the whole thing
what is themod that you can get stuff like the dream nail?
is there a mod for Myla?
afaik no
i havent been here in a bit and still have the old mod installer
do i just download the new one and delete the old one?
and what about the mods that i have currently running
alright thanks
why are you not showing the whole thing
and you just click the install buttons for what you want
so scroll down to randomizer 3
and click install
You're cutting out the buttons on the bottom
And did you scroll down in it
And press randomizer 3
like that?
and when i open the game it asks me to choose a language but won't let me click ok
Did you let it download other mods
Or did you say no to each
You can't click anything?
i can click the languages. it asks yes or no
if i click yes nothing happens
i had same problem yesterday. i can validate the game files and 1 file is lost or w/e
and when i do that and open, it lets me click ok
Okay. So do that to get past this opening stuff. Then open the installer again
The mods are probably not set up to handle a first time playing the game
just post the pictures here
i can't open that shit on my phone
what does the bottom of your installer say now
does it say "enable all installed mods" or "revert to vanilla"
revert back to unmodded
are you sure you're modding the right version
you said you reinstalled the game
is it possible you have 2 installs now
on different drives
1.4.3.2 is the hollow knight version
that's not what i asked
right click the game in steam that you're launching
and click this
where does it take you
D drive
it's literally the only thing on that drive
also no hollow knight install on the main drive
you closed the game when installing mods right?
what do you mean
steam is open while i install the mods
that is not what i circled
