i think steam cloud is messing the saves

#

but im out of time so ill continue this in an hour

limber egret
#

Step 1: Navigate to your saves
Step 2: Create a folder basically anywhere you want just named "backups" or whatever you want to name it.
Step 3: Copy and paste every file that is in the saves folder named "UserN" into this new folder. If it has something after UserN in its file name, also copy that.
Step 4: You have successfully backed up your saves.

Anyone knows why speeding up time in debug resets when you get hit or parry or knock out someone?

outer dirge
#

@limber egret @gloomy coral everytime i clear all saves and try launching the game again they just magically come back

#

when i clear a save it only deletes the "user#" file, and not the other "user#.dat" files

#

should i delete those manually?

limber egret
gloomy coral
#

how about you take the save files that you liek and copy them into a seperate folder and then directly paste the new files into the folder

#

dont clear save from the game

outer dirge
#

how do i know which save files are the correct ones tho??

gloomy coral
#

go to the game and check

outer dirge
ivory inlet
outer dirge
#

ivory inlet
#

the readme doesn't have instructions

gloomy coral
#

like the old save has this much progress and the new save has this much progress

outer dirge
#

there are two on save 1, two on save 2, and two on save 4. but theres only 1 each time it seems

ivory inlet
#

@vernal rain found it it's + and -

outer dirge
gloomy coral
#

vernal rain
vernal rain
ivory inlet
outer dirge
gloomy coral
#

how can there be 2 save state on one save

vernal rain
gloomy coral
#

the user 1 is the main file

ivory inlet
#

@vernal rain it works fine now

vernal rain
#

pog

gloomy coral
#

the next 3 are backup i think

outer dirge
#

wait

ivory inlet
#

pure vessel on 150% speed gon be fun

outer dirge
#

OH

outer dirge
gloomy coral
#

and the 4th one doesnt affect this process

outer dirge
#

i thought it was user1 was save slot 1

#

like in the game

vernal rain
#

yes

outer dirge
#

because in the game i have 1,2, and 4. and here there are also user 1,2, and 4

half gull
#

its saying dont run the thing

outer dirge
half gull
#

i got it from pinned messages

vernal rain
#

yes

gloomy coral
#

user 1.dat is save file 1

#

user2.dat is save file 2

#

and so on

outer dirge
#

then what do i do

vernal rain
half gull
#

oh oko

outer dirge
#

if i open it on my account save slot 1 is the 112% file. but if i open it on the other account save slot 1 is the 111% file

half gull
#

phew

outer dirge
#

i must be missing something

gloomy coral
vernal rain
#

steam cloud sync

outer dirge
#

i turned steam cloud sync off on one of them

#

still does it

#

is it because im borrowing?

gloomy coral
#

if you put the 112%'s user 1 into the folder location of second person then both will be 112%

outer dirge
#

like one account is borrowing from the other one

#

but i tried reborrowing and it didnt fix it

gloomy coral
#

idk how steam cloud affects this

half gull
#

is it dream shield co-op

outer dirge
half gull
#

is it dream shield co-op

gloomy coral
#

open the game and find out

outer dirge
#

and i only see one folder location, idk where the other user's folder location is

half gull
#

can i remove the mod

outer dirge
#

i only turned it off on one

vernal rain
#

it could be worth a try

outer dirge
#

the only thing im missing is the other account's file location. but it seems to be nonexistant

half gull
#

nope didnt try

outer dirge
#

like where do i find it

half gull
#

didnt work

#

never minf

#

if you have a friend

#

they can add there controller and could be dream shield

gloomy coral
outer dirge
#

the ones that are left over

gloomy coral
#

i use a program called everything. it searches through files

#

try to use it

#

type "user1.dat" and see where all its saved

#

maybe it will help you find the other ones file location

half gull
#

the mods did not work

#

why did the mods not work

outer dirge
#

@gloomy coral you see, i can find it on the other user account on the pc. but that only has user1, not user1, user2, and user4 which appear in both accounts of the game

#

i already found it before but it doesnt make sense that that would be where the other saves are stored

#

wait

#

i actually find it in program files

#

oh

#

i think i found it

#

:0

#

but this is all so strange

half gull
#

k i got the mod

#

i just dont know how to get in multiplayer thing

gloomy coral
outer dirge
#

its in userdata, but then i think the users are number id's

#

so idk which one is the correct one

#

its just random numbers

outer dirge
#

i did

#

it lead me to here

gloomy coral
#

so whats weird then

outer dirge
#

huh

#

i can use the other games on the account to see which one it is

#

thats funny

half gull
#

how to use the multiplayer thingy mod

#

i just got it installed

outer dirge
#

@gloomy coral ok i have both folders, and i know which one is which's account

gloomy coral
#

i think thats normal

outer dirge
#

so the other one wasnt normal?

gloomy coral
#

only thing thats missing is the backup files

#

mine looks like the before one

#

with backups

outer dirge
#

oh thats what those were

#

yeah i couldnt get it to work

#

copying and pasting it didnt change anything unfortunately

gloomy coral
#

what did you copt

#

copy

outer dirge
gloomy coral
#

it worked for me

gloomy coral
#

You changed the games save file so that save fil should open

outer dirge
#

i also dont

#

it seems it only affects the steam cloud

#

so when i turn on steam cloud it says that the files dont match in the cloud and in the game

gloomy coral
#

Is the game open when you do the transfer?

outer dirge
#

i can cancel or play anyways and then it just launches it without any saves. the saves stopped reappearing magically also so it probably launches that version

#

since i cleared all saves there

gloomy coral
#

When I play and they say there is conflict steam asks me which one is correct

outer dirge
#

huh

gloomy coral
#

Maybe take all the backup files and move it to another folder and the. Move the new user1.dat into the folder

outer dirge
#

i did that and it didnt work

gloomy coral
#

Maybe just close WiFi and try

outer dirge
#

how would that fix it?

#

like try it when wifi is off or after restarting

crimson mauve
outer dirge
gloomy coral
#

Idk it's worth a shot

outer dirge
#

i can just turn off steam cloud

#

i tried it and it just launches the game without the save files

#

tbh i give up im scared im gonna mess anything up so im just gonna keep it on the other account and be a little more annoyed

wheat orchid
#

You look on mod installer if they are enabled and installed

merry rover

wheat orchid
#

Top left corner of the main menu and pause menu

merry rover
#

oh

#

wheat orchid
#

merry rover
#

wheat orchid
#

You have every mod enabled?

merry rover
#

well not all mods

#

i mean like

#

so how do i get it to turn on the mods

wheat orchid
#

So not even the modding api appears there?

merry rover
#

yes

wheat orchid
#

Hmm

#

My guess is you have multiple installations of hollow knight

merry rover
#

?

#

what do you mean?

spring bane
#

try hittin 'enable all installed mods' on the installer

wheat orchid
#

Oh that too

#

spring bane
#

merry rover
#

spring bane
#

limber egret
#

Okay, go to your save files and delete both the files with "moddingapi" in their name

#

Also

#

I assume Hollow Knight is closed while you're doing this stuff

vital dragon
#

this happens when i install any mod including mod common and mod api(when i disinstalling them everything turns back) (sorry for mistaces i am russian)

merry rover
#

merry rover

limber egret
#

Yep

#

The easiest way is to type %appdata% in the address bar which will send you to appdata\roaming

vital dragon
limber egret
#

Okay do the same thing I asked tofu chan to do. Go to your saves path (listed above) and delete both the files named moddingapi

vital dragon
#

where is appdata

limber egret
#

I just explained how to do this pls read that

merry rover
#

nothing showed up

spring bane
#

you put it i the address bar not the search bar

merry rover
#

wheres that

spring bane
#

where the file path is

#

merry rover
#

vital dragon
spring bane
#

merry rover
#

west bane
#

You relaunched the game after deleting those 2 files?

#

wraith beacon
#

I got the mod installer so I could use the multiplayer mod with my friends and it was working just fine. But then I turned off my computer to go do other things. When I came back I decided to get Hollow Point. When I did it said that there was too little space on disk to run game. So after I cleared out some space I tried opening the game It worked but it wouldn't show any mods in the top left hand corner of the screen, and when I looked at my saves they were all blank and after a while said loading. I waited for some time and it still said loading. I had to verify the integrity of the files to see my saves again. I tried uninstalling the mod installer and deleting all of the files that had to do with it and then downloading the mods again but it didn't work can anyone help me?

slow apex

Wheres the mods folder?

merry rover
#

the modding api thing in the top left isnt showing for modinstaller 1 either

limber egret
#

Game files then \hollow_knight_data\managed\mods

slow apex
#

Ah yeah

#

nothing is installed but common

#

but the mod launcher says things are installed

merry rover
#

if i have 2 modinstallers installed like modinstaller 1 and modinstaller 2 will it not work

spring lichen
slow apex
#

yeah its not installing stuff to the right place, is there a place i can wipe the mod managers cached data its obviously wrong

limber egret
spring lichen
#

hmm

#

its hard to explain

merry rover
#

one sec lemme reset the game files

limber egret
#

I think GoG also has a similar button

#

Errr, this is a good point, you can only mod Steam or Good Old Games versions of Hollow Knight. I don't know if this was mentioned.

merry rover
#

im using steam

slow apex
#

Will do ty

#

Doing that does not clear the mod manager's cache

#

its still thinking stuff is installed thats not

west bane
#

i suppose he means what he needs for next progression or whats in logic but no there's no mod for that

merry rover
#

the only thing i am feeling right now is auto-tuned baby crying

limber egret
#

I might be at suggesting you reset mod installer

slow apex
#

i can not figure out how to reset the mod launcher

west bane
#

tofu do me a favor, launch the game and either in options or extras, see if there's a mods tab

merry rover
#

there isnt a mod tab

#

and i cant revert to unmodded

slow apex
#

Perfect ty

merry rover
#

it says to verify integrity of game files and i did

#

but it still wont revert to unmodded

west bane
#

oh you did that, you're back on vanilla then

limber egret
merry rover
#

k

slow apex
#

Okay

#

that didnt work

#

its still remembers everything lol wtf

#

theres no mods installed in the hollow knight directory, i removed the modlaunchers cache in local/modinstaller

limber egret
#

Did you delete mod installer entirely?

slow apex
#

Yes

west bane
#

wtf is up with the installer lately PepeHands

slow apex
#

I don't understand where its pulling this data from, i deleted everything

limber egret
#

This is a great issue and I totally understand what's going on.

#

I could send you a modding api file and you could download mods manually. I'm very much at a loss right now

west bane
#

yeah i would suggest manual at this point

merry rover
#

how long would that take

slow apex
#

It forgets the install bath but not what mods i have installed, but theres nothing in the hollow knight directory

#

i wonder if my registry has some messed up install path for hollow knight

west bane
#

have you ever pirated or just installed the game at a different path before

merry rover
#

no

slow apex
#

Im gonna uninstall and reinstall hn

west bane
#

sometimes that happens with multiple installs

merry rover
#

ohhhhh

#

i had multiple installs of modinstaller 1

#

but i deleted them

west bane
#

nah wont happen with that, just of the game

merry rover
#

so uninstall hollow knight?

west bane
#

nah not yet at least

#

?mods

west bane
#

go to google drive and search for modding api

#

download the universal i assume youre on windows

slow apex
#

fixed it

#

via reinstall and registery cleanup

west bane
#

what reg did you wipe, could be useful to know for future troubleshooting

slow apex
#

Just ran a registery cleaner to find issues

merry rover
#

fml

slow apex
#

Ran CCCleaner its free

#

cleaned all invalid entries in my registery

#

I also reinstalled HN to a new drive

west bane
#

the reinstall is prob what did it, but who knows lol

#

at least it works now

merry rover
#

so then do i put the mods into the mods folder in modding api?

west bane
#

if your mods folder is already set up dw about it, you just need the assembly c-sharp

slow apex
#

Is there any mods where i can just increase all enemy hp by a flat amount? and maybe increase geo drops

west bane
#

debug does both

merry rover
#

whats assembly c-sharp

slow apex
#

Oh sweet ty

west bane
#

it's in the modding api folder

merry rover
#

the modding api thing still isnt in the top left

west bane
#

what did you do after you downloaded the modding api from the drive

merry rover
#

nothing

slow apex
#

wtf

#

it just installed frogcore

#

i didnt tell it too

#

but it did

#

and its not a requirement i dont think

west bane
#

if a mod is a dependency it automatically grabs it

slow apex
#

i can see it in the new mod folder but its not registering in the mod launcher

west bane
#

after you get the moddingapi .zip just extract it and follow the path matching yoru HK game files

#

afaik it's a dependency for uumuu modded boss

slow apex
#

ahh oki

#

btw dumb question but do u know anyone who did the ultra wide edit that got it to work for super ultra wides>#

west bane
#

that idk, could try adjusting it in windowed mode (doubt that even changes the res) but beyond that dunno

merry rover
#

i cant extract it

#

should i just uninstall hollow knight and reinstall it

#

and delete modinstaller

west bane
#

you should be able to extract it it's just a .zip

merry rover
#

i cant extract it

west bane
#

what does double clicking the zip file do

merry rover
#

it opens it

merry rover
#

but what do i do

slow apex
#

Sorry to repeat my self but how do i increase geo drop and enemy health etc again? was it a config file?

west bane
#

you cant increase those, just lower or increase nail damage, and there's a button that just gives you incriments of geo

merry rover
#

i dont understand what you mean by match the paths

severe merlin
#

this will help you

west bane
#

open up the zip file, what folder do you see

severe merlin
#

its a step by step on how to install mods

merry rover
#

morsy thats not the problem

west bane
#

hollow_knight_data

severe merlin
#

oh sry

merry rover
#

the problem is that the modding api thing in the top left isnt there

west bane
#

so we match that in our game files by going to hollow_knight_data

severe merlin
#

oh

merry rover
#

but HOW do i match them

go to your game files

merry rover
#

now what

west bane
merry rover
#

yes

west bane
#

ok now you follow your zip folder in while doing the same in your game files

#

until you get to the assembly c-sharp file

merry rover
#

mhm

west bane
merry rover
#

now what

west bane
#

drag-em in

#

yes override, then launch game

#

and pray

merry rover
#

including the mods folder?

west bane
#

nah not needed

merry rover
#

ok

west bane
#

if modding api doesnt show up top left lemme know

merry rover
#

its not there

west bane
#

alright can you show me whats in your mods folder

merry rover
#

where

west bane
#

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

merry rover
#

its not in c though

#

its in e

#

its in an external hard drive

west bane
#

thats fine

slow apex
#

wth i dont have config bar for enemy health bars in my save folder

west bane
#

did you launch the game when you installed

slow apex
#

yes

#

maybe i need restart

#

oh ye

#

had to close the game

west bane
#

i thought it was on launch ¯_(ツ)_/¯

slow apex
#

actually

#

maybe i had to trigger a save?

#

that make sense

#

save on exit

merry rover
#

it still isnt in the top left

west bane
#

go back to your game files and screenshot mods folder

slow apex
#

Is bingo UI good?

west bane
#

yeah but it's mainly used for rando racing, could be useful for casual play though i spose

slow apex
#

ahh oki

merry rover
#

there isnt a mods folder in managed

west bane
#

oh, you can just make one then

#

capital M, dunno if it matters

merry rover
#

now what

west bane
#

alright now go back to your saves folder and see if there's a moddingapi.globalsettings.json and .bak

merry rover
#

tamijo told me to delete it

#

so its not there

#

nvm its there

west bane
#

and you launched the game already yeah? when you said "it still not in the top left"

#

oh ok

#

try deleting it again and then launching

merry rover
#

finally its there

#

now what

west bane
#

You can play the game as you wish. Your modinstaller should work normally with installing mods

merry rover
#

thx

west bane
#

"should" hopefully. Lol

merry rover
#

so the mods from modinstaller 1 should work?

west bane
#

Yeah either one.

merry rover
#

i checked the mods tab and the mods arent there

heavy ivy
#

where were all the original room names, I have checked all the pins in every channel and I have not found it

west bane
#

Some mods might not show in the game tab. If they're in the mods folder they're installed though

west bane
#

Most of the way down anyway

slow apex
#

Last question, anyone know how to fix the overlap in the top left corner?

heavy ivy
#

simplest solution: less mods

#

suggest loading the boss edits when you actually fight the bosses

slow apex
#

That is way too much of a pain

#

syncing mods to friends and playing multiplayer so thats a big no

merry rover
#

there isnt any mods in the mods folder in the save files thing

#

i mean managed

west bane
#

even with installing them via the installer?

merry rover
#

well they were already installed

#

should i reinstall all of them?

pliant path
#

how do i get the gun mod its not working with modinstaller

#

(zote icon)

merry rover
#

@west bane should i uninstall and reinstall the mods?

west bane
#

yeah, reset the installer too

west bane
merry rover
#

k

#

how do i reset the installer?

west bane
#

thre's a pinned message on it

merry rover
#

so just delete modinstaller?

west bane
merry rover
#

..

#

is that a yes?

west bane
#

it says to just delete the folder

#

not the .exe

merry rover
#

what folder

west bane
#

the one labeled "ModInstaller"

merry rover
#

where

west bane
pliant path
#

the mod is not showing anything relating to the mod and is only showing that it is installed(i moved the folder to the mods section in the hollow knight mods folder where the hp bar is for enemies but not in the hp bar's files) and with mod installer its just now showing or doing what it is supposed to

west bane
#

screenshot your mods folder

pliant path
west bane
#

all that goes in the mods folder is the .dll, just use the installer to install

pliant path
#

i tried

west bane
#

can you show what the installer does then

pliant path
#

the installer shows that hollow point is installed and enabled but it doesnt work

west bane
#

what does uninstalling do

pliant path
#

as far as i have seen nothing

real jacinth
#

did you initially press the install button for hollow point on the installer? why are you putting files there yourself?

pliant path
#

mod installer wasnt loading the mod

real jacinth
#

what does that even mean

pliant path
#

the mod wasnt running

west bane
#

the mod installer does not load mods, it installs them

real jacinth
#

did you click install on the installer

pliant path
#

yes

real jacinth
#

okay, so then after that you put a zip file in the mods folder yourself?

#

or are you saying you clicked manual install on the installer

#

cuz that's not the same thing

merry rover
#

why does it say Central Directory corrupt when i try to install mods

real jacinth
#

which one

merry rover
#

it wont let me install any more mods

real jacinth
#

any mods? or poorly translated only

merry rover
#

any mods

real jacinth
#

where is your installer

merry rover
#

i installed a few mods but now it wont let me install any more

real jacinth
#

if it's still in downloads, move it to desktop

merry rover
#

k

#

is that it?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

did you try it

merry rover
#

yes

#

it still says central directory corrupt

real jacinth
#

what mod are you trying

merry rover
#

lost lord

#

it said the same thing for moresaves

#

wait

#

the other mods work

#

just not moresaves and lost lord

real jacinth
#

close and reopen it as admin. see if that helps.

#

moresaves you shouldn't use anyway

merry rover
#

its fine i dont need lost lord

#

what does lost lord even do?

#

pale prince doesnt work either

#

neither does path of pure vessel

pliant path
#

i got the gun mod to work but its not letting me heal

#

what

west bane
#

did you read the readme

merry rover
#

royal dreamer doesnt work

#

sanic doesnt work

#

the pain of the path doesnt work

#

how do i open it in admin mode

#

@real jacinth how do i open it in admin mode

west bane
merry rover
#

its blank

merry rover
#

that just gives me the link that you gave me

#

i figured it out

#

uh

#

there isnt anything in the mods folder

#

what do i do

#

@west bane^

west bane
#

hit install on a mod after running it as admin

merry rover
#

i already did

#

and there is nothing

west bane
#

hmm you didnt say that

#

did you move it to desktop too?

merry rover
#

yes

#

what do i do

west bane
#

make sure your pc is up to date with any windows updates, make sure you have .net framework 3.5, make sure youre running the latest versions of the installer (either 1 or 2) (found in pins) make sure you have only 1 instance of the game installed.

you can try..
restarting your pc, re-installing HK, potentially wiping the entire saves folder after backing up saves, making sure only 1 instance of the modinstaller open

merry rover
#

tried restarting my pc and it didnt work

#

how do i check my .net framework

real jacinth
#

show your installer and your title screen

merry rover
real jacinth
merry rover
real jacinth
#

wtf is this

#

you did weird shit.

#

what were you doing with files

merry rover
#

what zaliant told me to do

real jacinth
#

there's no reason assembly csharp should be showing up on your mod list

west bane
#

i did not say to do that

real jacinth
#

what did you do

merry rover
#

idk why its there

west bane
#

and i have the picture to prove it

merry rover
#

idk why its there though

real jacinth
#

b/c you put it there

#

only explanation

merry rover
#

i didnt do that

real jacinth
#

you did

merry rover
#

i dont know how to do that

real jacinth
#

you moved an assembly csharp file somewhere it shouldn't be

#

where did you put it

merry rover
#

i replaced the other one so the modding api thing would show up in the top left

#

maybe because of this?

real jacinth
#

that could be anywhere

#

i dunno where that is

merry rover
real jacinth
#

so go in mods folder

merry rover
#

theres nothing in there

real jacinth
#

show me

merry rover
real jacinth
#

okay, so you have 2 copies of the game

#

especially since this is on the E drive, which is a weird place to have it

merry rover
#

theres one in C and one in E

#

i was running out of space

real jacinth
#

so your installer is changing the one on C

#

and youre launching the one on E

merry rover
#

yes?

real jacinth
#

surprise.... you're not changing the one on E

wheat orchid
#

oh i feel like I same to the same conclusion hours ago, unless it was a different person

real jacinth
#

so of course mods aren't showing up

merry rover
#

do i have to reinstall all the mods

real jacinth
#

well what do you want to do?

merry rover
#

and do i have to delete the other hollow knight in C?

real jacinth
#

why do you have 2 games

merry rover
#

idk

real jacinth
#

do you intend to use both

merry rover
#

idk why the 2nd one is there

real jacinth
#

b/c you installed it

#

strange thing about computers, they do exactly what you tell them to

limber egret
wheat orchid
#

lol

merry rover
#

o

real jacinth
#

gottem

wheat orchid
#

I was right

merry rover
#

i deleted the one in C

#

do i reinstall the mods again

real jacinth
#

well you just deleted them

#

and now your installer won't work b/c you got rid of where it was installing shit

#

so you have to reset the installer

wheat orchid
#

look in the pins for how to

real jacinth
#

and direct it to your E game version

merry rover
#

its working now

#

ty

merry rover
#

the central directory corrupt thing is happening again

wheat orchid
#

poorly translated mod?

merry rover
#

no

wheat orchid
#

which mod

merry rover
#

lost lord

#

and other mods

#

it happened before for me

wheat orchid
#

try restarting your pc

merry rover
#

and i already tried administrator mode

#

and moving it to desktop

#

k

#

still doesnt work

wheat orchid
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

merry rover
#

@west bane can you help with this?

lavish bloom
#

Anyone know how to get the impossible mod up and running? I already have modinstaller + QoL and just extracted the zip. Unsure of where to go from here

wheat orchid
#

it's not a mod

lavish bloom
#

Fireborn said there was a tutorial but i can't seem to find it

wheat orchid
#

there is a decoration master tutorial

#

decoration master lets you edit rooms and was used to create the imposibble any %.

#

it's required for the changes to take place

lavish bloom
#

I see, this video makes more sense then. Should be able to set it up now, thank you 🙂

merry rover
#

would mickely be able to help me with this?

#

should i @ him?

gray cipher
#

no

merry rover
#

#

can you help?

shy fable
#

my custom knight skin has custom charms but they don't work pls help the skin works in it's own it's just the charms

merry rover
#

nvm

shy fable
#

ok

merry rover
#

i just had to download a different mod then try again

shy fable
wheat orchid
#

ooo that looks cool

#

hmmm

#

can you send your modlog

shy fable
#

ok

real jacinth
#

you need to use the customknight dll that came with the skin pack

#

the normal customknight on the installer does not change charms

wheat orchid
#

wait it doesn't?

real jacinth
#

no

wheat orchid
#

huh

shy fable
#

ok

real jacinth
#

TWP group has their own fork of the mod that they pack with the skins

shy fable
#

really

#

i downloaded the skin

wheat orchid
#

I thought jngo added it a while ago

shy fable
#

i am ganna downloaded an thanks

#

and one qustion does the dll of the skin work with other custom charms

wheat orchid
#

yes

shy fable
#

ok

#

thanks

real jacinth
shy fable
#

i have void heart equbed and it doesn't have the custom skin how to fix it everthing else works

Hey where are the mods stored on Mac? I'm trying to help my friend out with something, but I can't find it at the game files location nor the save files location.

nimble sky
#

is there any way to get carefree melody through debug or do i have to file edit

real jacinth
#

change the number for grimmchild

#

to 4 or something

nimble sky
#

five

#

that changes the icon, not the effect

real jacinth
#

did you take it off and put it on again

nimble sky
#

just gives me a level 2 grimmchild

#

it was off when i changed it

#

but yes, i did that

real jacinth
#

if the icon changes to carefree melody, then it's changing it

#

you might need to quit out and go back in the save again

nimble sky
#

done.

nimble sky
#

didn't quit out the game completely, maybe i'll try that

real jacinth
#

sure the grimmchild is showing up, but you never got hit

#

to see if the melody charm is still working

nimble sky
#

i did the first time, i checked to see if it shot.

#

but i guess i'll check again

real jacinth
#

you didn't get hit

nimble sky
#

yeah but if it shoots and deals damage that's two charms in one

real jacinth
#

cool. bonus

nimble sky
#

Uh

#

Fair enough. I'll look into save editing

real jacinth
#

you could try setting it to 0 to get rid of grimmchild

#

save it that way, then save it as 5

nimble sky
#

Hmm. 0 doesn't get rid of it.

#

It's ok, I'll manage some other way

merry rover

hollow knight keeps crashing when i try to play with mods

merry rover

im not using controller

and i dont have a controller

real jacinth

what does it look like when crashing

merry rover
#

like it freezes

real jacinth

and nothing happens before?

#

no loading bar?

#

nothing?

merry rover
#

and then it showes the "blank is not responding"

real jacinth
#

are you trying to enter a save?

merry rover
#

there is a loading bar

#

no

real jacinth
#

what exactly are you doing

merry rover
#

after the loading bar finishes loading it freezes

#

i open the game

real jacinth

I got the mod installer so I could use the multiplayer mod with my friends and it was working just fine. But then I turned off my computer to go do other things. When I came back I decided to get Hollow Point. When I did it said that there was too little space on disk to run game. So after I cleared out some space I tried opening the game It worked but it wouldn't show any mods in the top left hand corner of the screen, and when I looked at my saves they were all blank and after a while said loading. I waited for some time and it still said loading. I had to verify the integrity of the files to see my saves again. I tried uninstalling the mod installer and deleting all of the files that had to do with it and then downloading the mods again but it didn't work can anyone help me?

real jacinth
#

go to saves. delete moddingapi.globalsettings files

merry rover
#

well now the modding api thing isnt in the top left

#

so mods dont work at all anymore

west bane
#

do the same as the guy above

real jacinth
#

and also delete the benchwarp.globalsettings ones too

merry rover
#

now im back with two different installations of hollow knight again

real jacinth
#

so you know how to fix it

merry rover
#

this is the 4th time today i've had to reinstall all of my mods

#

fml

real jacinth
#

so stop installing multiple copies of the game

merry rover
#

im

#

not

#

it auto installed

#

i verified the integrity of the game files

#

and that probably did it

wraith beacon
#

where do i find moddingapi.globalsettings?

west bane
#

verifying integrity of game files does not just redownload the whole game unless your game install directory is mega fucked

west bane
wraith beacon
#

ok

merry rover
#

im just done with modded

#

you guys need to make this easier

real jacinth
#

it's very easy

#

you need to manage your files better

merry rover
#

im just going to uninstall it and reinstall it in a different place

#

in C

real jacinth
#

ah yes, a third copy

#

that'll clear things right up

#

lol

merry rover
#

not a third copy

#

getting rid of the one in E

#

and the old one in C

#

and uninstalling it gets rid of both of those files

wraith beacon
#

i deleted the moddingapi.globalsettings files do i just run the game now?

real jacinth
#

yeah

wraith beacon
#

ok thanks for the help

When I first downpatched to 1.2.2.1 someone helped me set up a “hot swap” between vanilla and modded so that I could load up either on the same installation of the game. if i have the game on steam, is there a way to have a similar “hot swap” on the current patch instead of making another installation?

wheat orchid
#

tmk I guess you can replace the game files with the downloaded ones, but switching would have to download it again so it would really just be easier to use multiple installations

#

windows, mac, or linux?

Good ending

tranquil copper
#

you should be thinking about buying the game before mods

merry rover
#

why is it saying this

wheat orchid
#

reset the installer

#

you deleted where it remembers hk is installed

real jacinth

because it's unable to locate your game files based on where you said to look
