on the hollow knight tab on steam
go to manage then properties
then local files
and you can verify there
what shoul i verify?
Do this
this is the page you need to be on
one file fail
Read what it says
then do it again and hollow knight should work
You don't need to do it again. The pop-up says "It will be replaced" or whatever. Imagine reading the message you get.
a file failed validation and will be reacquired
So you're done.
now HK should work
im on 1221 and my debug mod is faulty in some way. The information is off the boxes. Like this:
woops that pic took 2nd screen
ignore that
Did you get the correct debug mod?
it worked in the past
There's a separate one for 1221
but now i dont have the mods
did nothing to it, and this happened (a while ago)
I'll re-install again see if it changes w8
You now want to reset mod installer using the instructions in the pins
And then install your mods again
You may want to back up your custom Knight files
cuz like everything works it's just not in the boxes which makes it annoying lul
yeah i reached that problem and am trying to fix it reseting didnt work
im not finding
To reset the mod installer, go to
%appdata%..\Local
and delete the folder
ModInstaller
Then run the installer again.(edited)

oh ok thanks
its the 7th pinned post
Please read things before asking us
Getting other people to do things for you is not cool
what
Download mods one at a time. Start with just mod common and custom knight.
Like like you've got a problem there, chief
only happens when i go near that bug dude
he is the only thing glitchedc
honestly im fine with it but fix would be nice
holy shit
look COOOL lol
That sounds like a corrupted file
y i think so too
you want me to verify my files?
Patch could be the thing doing it?
yeah guess so
that would do the job
Does it happen on all files?
oh ok ill check
Could be worth turning off the patch, then starting a new save and getting to sly on that
ah i dont have any other save files because im on a new pc and i was playing steel heart
nah im looking for a short fix if that doesnt exist im fine with sly looking like cyberpunk2077
where the f even is that
slys shop
that looks like you smashed your monitor with a very big rock
that or sly hates you
definetely patch
he probably bargained too much to poor sly
this is probably a combo glitch from some mods
its also definetely a texture error which could be connected to custom knight or enemy hp bar
most likely either corrupted texture or a dying graphics card
corrupted texture then because you said it was a new PC
i literally just completely CLEAN restalled it (1221) and the text is still off boxes
where is the newest debug version? might be that cuz i used the one from drive in a subfolder called Old
so we have three problems 1. F ed up texture 2. text off boxes 3. mods not working
help
u have internet i guess right
fourth problem anizus just fix your wifi
idk, that's the error it's giving
Where did you buy HK from?
steam
What happens if you press retry?
do u have some weird vpn interferring? idk about this stuff tbh
Move it to your desktop then right click and click "run as administrator"
in some hollow knight mod folder :D
i'll try those i guess
Some folders on your computer are protected by Windows and there's no way way to change it. Windows is both great and awful for that stuff
TamiJo do u know where i can find the latest debug mod for patch 1221
i used the one from the drive, but it says there is a new version available
Also go to the bottom of that channel
There's a message near the bottom with a new Assembly.csharp you will need
Going crazy at this point, verified game files, reinstalled mod installer, verified that the mods have installed into the correct folder and they are still not functioning. I installed Pale Prince, Mantis Gods, and ModCommon for reference
There's gotta be something im missing here
have you delted the folder at %appdata%\localLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
that could help
the Hollow Knight folder itself?
ye(?)
the one i wrote path to
just back it up first
cuz your save-files are in there
haha i know
I studied computer Science in uni but thats totally something i would still do
so wait why would deleting my save files help?
that helped me some time ago
it's not deleting the save files
but the other files there
saves progress and info in that folder, resetting them can help
hmm imma wait for a mod or something to respond
the hollowknight.exe and _data folder doesn't change during playthroughs at all i think. All is stored there, and those files could interfere so test it if u want
wait do i still need the api from the google drive? or does this file work on it's own?
The one in resources is the one you need.
No other
As the Scottish say; there should be only one Assembly.Csharp file
ok, older api changes/downloads a Assembly-CSharp.xml file as well
but that is irrelevant these days?
I don't think that's relevant, no
thats an odd looking lantern
some more corrupted files :/
i don't understand what gives the problem for me
cuz i've clean installed it with new debug and modding api
tried older versions of debug, still doesn't work
ok how did this not fix it. Since it's not the files i am using that is faulty, it has to be something with registry or the files in TeamCherry\Hollow Knight folder. So i deletd both. STILL DOESN'T WORK. can anyone help?
if you have the modinstaller open, you also could click the 2nd last button (the one with "change default install path")
@vernal rain can u take a screenshot of it
i think i installed the wrong modinstaler
cz my installer does not loooks like that
mine is black and the only option is donate
@vernal rain
yes
then i have no idea how to reset that one
myself i use modinstaller 1, what you have is modinstaller 2
https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe is modinstaller 1
@vernal rain it says could not create ssl/tsl secure channel
apparently only windows 7 users have this problem, so ig you have to install the mods manually

I'm setting up HollowTwitch and I have a couple of questions:
- can I change commands cooldown? If yes: do I just change the number after "x": {number},
- can I add a cooldown to a command that doesn't? (like !spikefloor)
- to add an admin user do I have to put the twitch name into the [] of "AdminUsers": [], ?
Thanks 🙂
how do you go to the second page off the saves when using the More Saves mod?
if you want a custom skin do you have to make it or can you use pre-existing skins?
[ and ]
can I use degub mod and server mod at the same time?
Hi i'm trying to revert back to unmodded after my randomizer run, but modinstalelr says unable to find vanilla hollow knight, verify integrity of game files and relaunch? I bought the game officially, off of Steam?

Hey everyone. I have a question regarding the debug mod. I wanted to see the healthbars and hitboxes of enemies while practicing fighting bosses, and well...they don't show up. I can see it in the log that they get 'enabled' and 'disabled' as I press the button, but even when they are enabled, I see no changes to the visuals, no healthbars, no hitboxes. What am I doing wrong? I'm downpatched to 1.2.2.1.
The API says:
Modding API: 1.2.2.1-39
DebugMod: 1.3.3 - New Version Available!
I hope this information makes it easier to help me....thanks in advance.
hmm im struggling to find actual instructions to do that
download zip, extract, find dll file(s) inside, open mod installer, press manually install mods button, point to dll file(s)
that worked, thanks 🙂
1] yeah, like that
2] seems not to, someone knows?
3] yeah, like that
whats the mod that shortens boss fight entrances e.g pure vessel, absrad?
you can use pre-existing ones. check fireb0rn's video on it
Maybe Quality of Life has that integrated
QoL mod should do that
Damn
Speed 😎
and if i download it is there any way to disable the promptly un-fixed "bugs"?
is it simple to edit a json? ive never done it
Yeah, it looks straightforward
I've never actually done anything with it myself but it seems simple
kk 
open it with something like notepad, then change values from true to false or similar
ah i see, will do
Can i give Geo's to my file somehow? without using mod, just files .-.
where is the json file?

i dont see it
i think the game has to be started once with the mod installed to generate the file
so just start the game, close it, then the file should be there
ahh ok
i still dont see the qol file
ive launched the game. i also downloaded the UHKP and that one works fine
although that json file is a little confusing
how do i get the debugmod menu back?
By purchasing the game
whta version do you have
if you have icrosoft store version you cant mod it
Microsoft
Windows
fuck microsoft
ms store version sadly can't be modded
Is there a specific mod I'd have to install to change in game stats such as nail length or charm notch number. The debug mod just doesn't have some of the stuff I'm looking for.
oops nvm I am literally stupid
i tried installing the impossible any % mod but it doesnt work does any one know how to install it
hi
i got a error on the installer
i tried installing in the steam version and not worked, i tried it in a pirate one and worked but after it sends me an error that says "unable to download mod list"
and after an window appear and it says "the request was aborted: could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"
Well that's the opposite of how that's supposed to work
Anyway try installer 2
where it is ?
Pins
the steam versions says that need and update but its up to date
so its very rare that the pirate one ran the program once xd

Guys, i dowloaded skin mod, and i put 3 skins on the folder, but they dont show in game, what do i do? (i am new to server and sorry for bad english
trying to tag 92,000 people 
Did you follow Fireborn's tutorial on YouTube?
Hello guys, I can't install the mod installer. It says I should purchase the game, opens the steam page and closes. I have it purchased, though.
I fixed it by putting the installer into the hollowknight folder
I saw someone use skins in hollow knight, but im not sure whats the name of the mod, which one is it?
custom knight
thanks
look up a tutorial on how to use it
i accidently set the hazard respawn to mouse0 now when i try to change it everything just freezez

hey guys, how i can play co-op w friend?
there's a fireb0rn video on how to use multiplayer mod
i had a this problem
@west bane, i'm sorry, but can i also play co-op with installer2?
drag it out of your downloads folder, run as admin,
if that doesnt work yeah try installer 2
@west bane meh, it still doesnt work
how can i install the mod on installer 2?
just click?
yeah
ty
I'm just curious, what do the duplicate major items replace? Or are there just like more items in shops or whatever (in the randomizer I mean :P)
@west bane we r connected to hamachi, but we cannot see each other in the game. like, we cant connect(
what to do?
I believe it's more stuff in shops
probably a network or a mod issue then
in other game w hamachi we can connect..
what about mod? we have same version
make sure client has game closed before host, host needs client and server
ah..what do u mean about "client has game closed before host"
whoever isn't the host should have their game closed before host is in game and connected
oki, i'll try
i.e. just need to wait for the host to create a game and just log into my and join to him?
yes
so ive played the randomizer 3 mod once before and re enabled it but when i go in game it doesnt work any help?
Please describe in detail
so i have the dll file in the open mod folder next to benchwarp and custom knight and when i go into game it says the mod has failed to load and to check modlog.txt
Did you check mod log. Txt?
And/or did you ensure you have the dependencies enabled?
cant find it
Your mod log should be in your saves folder
The dependencies will be vasi, seanprcore, sfcore, and mod common.
And probably one I'm forgetting because I always forget one, but it might be in the Rando readme
yeah cant open the rando readme for some reason
Either way get those and it should work
Yes
hey all! quick question about item randomizer - does the mod guarantee that it's always possible to finish the game? or could it spawn progression items in places that would be completely unreachable?
@west bane ty very much, its work!!
how do u get the mod installer working on the new m1 mac I cant get it working
are there any videos or something
Look in the pins for mod installer 2
im dow
Idk about differences in macs, so it either works, or you need a slightly more complicated set up
Not unless you used mono
ok
If 2 doesn’t work, there’s another more complicated thing that will fix it
Crashes?
yes
Exactly the think I meant here
oh
Let me find the instructions
that sucks but ok
usually if it crashes when you select the file path, you selected the wrong file path
you pick your game
most people pick the shortcut they made on their desktop or some shit
i pick hollow_kinght
and it instantly crashes
i dont get it
does anyone know why i think hollow_knight is the game
crap
drag the aluncher out of your downloads folder, pref to desktop, run as admin, if that doesnt work, get modinstaller2
thx
this error sucks
im trying to use mod installer 2 on mac
and when i select hollow_knight it crashes plz halp
help
i hav no idea
yea
steam hk
i am pretty sure that it detects the folder
i no have hollow knight in steam 😦
when you have steam hk
get gamepass hk
why
i no have money
twhy gamepass
wait a minute
i use steam hk and when i load up installer 2 it says select hk path folder
oh
pretty sure gamepass is like

where is your modinstaller
on my desktop
my windows is 7 no have microsoft store
and in my finder
and I don't have a card
did you do this #archived-modding-help message
lemmie check
man I can't spend money on games
follow the instructions
literally right underneat the linked message
ok
i saw in the pins theres a mod installer 2, which i have no idea how to use... do i have to use it or does the other one work fine?
1 works fine if youre on windows, if not use 2
its personal choice
alright
do i put this chmod thing in terminal
yes
today i tried out the hollowpoint mod and after a bit turned it off but now i have a bug where i have infinite soul where it only decreases when i use spells
and im able to heal at any amount of soul
read the readme
so what do i do after i paste the chmod into terminal
heres what it was
cd ~/Downloads/publish; chmod +x ./Modinstaller2; ./Modinstaller2
imma paste what happens when i select hollow_knight in mod installer
i dont get it
you're selecting the wrong folder
that is a name. it could be anywhere
you need to select the right one
where your game is actually installed
ok
where did you get the game? steam?
yes
right click the game -> properties -> browse local files
then what i saw that
that is where your game is
so when you run the installer, you need to point it to that specific location only
ill try

I ran the installer and it says it cant download the mod list
even with administrator privilege and all
and it is likely in this spot specifically
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
use installer 2
from pins
i have no idea how
you click the installed boxes
and when they're installed, they check off the enabled box
so like this?
cool
im really confused
where u said it is ive already been using
and it still crashes
i will send screenshot
this could be anywhere
this doesn't prove to me that this is ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
alr ill show a screenshot of that
but its a pretty weird folder
show a screenshot of the installer menu where you're selecting the game files
this is where you showed
just select your folder
i did
you can just control c and control v this ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
click it, and show the file path you pick
sorry to ask now but, what happens if you try to mod a pirate hollow knight?
this is what ive been trying
you can't
it says a error?
it directs you to the steam page
oh
to buy the game
its a fun method to prevent pirate
this is not in the menu for the installer
that is a screenshot of your finder
what ive been doing was clicking on the installer when it says select file
and it pulls this up
this area
:/
"directing you to steam page" lol thats an unoriginal method to prevent piracy
but fun
but funy
yes yes
So I've installed hollowpoint and the mod seems to be work
the gun is there and I can't heal, but I can't switch the gun or use any of the unique abilities
Did I miss something?
check the readme it covers pretty much every issue
I did and I see nothing on the issue i'm having
did you start the save with the mod enabled
Yes, then quit to menu and continued the save
is this a new save
and you have modcommon?
pretty sure you cant heal with hollow point
you need to continue shooting
and playing aggresive
to heal
you heal by doing damage
yes
I said that and the gun being there were working how they are supposed to
but nothing else did
I couldnt switch the gun
But its irrelevant now because I got it working with the old modinstaller
i have a potentially odd question
i want to install mods to a version of hollow knight that i got via the xbox gamepass for pc can i do that?
i found the hollow knight data but when i go to open the installer it pulls up a cmd tab says it cant access the folder and closes itself
Hey so, I have been playing modded for about a day now with no problems, and suddenly I open up the game with this. I tried verifying the steam files, uninstalling and reinstalling the mods, but I don't know whats going wrong anymore. I didn't change anything between this and last session, so I'm very confused. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be happening?

nevermind to my question i assume it has the same issue as the windows store download
very disappointing
how do I get mods to work on earlier downpatched versions of the game?
cant
you manually install everything
So I'm the big dumb, on the current debug mod, I set load save state as mouse button 0 or left click... and I can't use the menu anymore. I tried deleting api and the debug dll but it still is set as mousebutton0 when I open the game. Any one know how to fix this?
#archived-modding-help message just with debugmod instead of moddingapi
anyone know where i can install this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PITsMdzHEF4 i googled the name of the mod (exx) but i dont speak chinese so i cant find it

You're selecting the game inside the folder. You need to select just three folder.
using the one you linked geo is invisible and seems like it only replacing the model not the attacks and such dont know if its a prob on my side or not but the other skins i have arnt doin that
geo problem: copy geo.png from default skin into the custom skin folder
other sprites missing: that's because the public skin only contains those spritesheets and nothing more
so no problem on your end
public skin? how would one go about getting the full version? is it a patreon thing or something? thx for the help btw
the full version once was part of twp challenges, but (afaik, may be wrong) there was disagreement between twp and the skin author and the author made that part public, i have not heard of a way to still get the full skin
ah that sucks thx for the info
i got the installer and all, i check "installed" and open hk but nothing is different
I think I broke the game beyond what is normal.
what all do you have installed / enabled
debug mod
are you using modinstaller 1 or 2
you dont have moddingapi installed
Can i add some geos using Hollow Knight files?
debug
Using game files .-. not mods
this is modding-help
What's the GodlyNightmares mod? It's not in the mod summaries doc and it doesn't have a readme
a mod by Sid#2070 (audio by the one and only zaliant) making markoth harder
Alright, thanks :)
I have the more saves mod installed, but I'm not sure how to actually access anything beyond the normal 4 saves 😅 it says "Page 1/2" at the top, but I don't see a way to change the page

Ah, that worked! Thanks again!
my mod installer says that it can't connect but when i reinstall it, it still keeps saying that
a true whiteknight simp white image
i was trying to go back to vanilla hk and it said that there was no vanilla hk, how do i fix?
could someone help me?
steam -> right click hk -> properties -> local files tab -> verify local game files button
Does anyone know is the noriaki kakyoin skin avaible to download because when i tried to download it from google drive there was only hud and text changes and skin for the hp bar
i tried to get it from here
How do I get the modding API file back into my Hollow Knight folder? (in managed I mean)
I was told to re-run it by opening the mod installer, closing it, then opening Hollow knight, but nothing has changed. I keep trying to use the mod installer again, but it doesn't work.
Also, how do I reset a re-run?
didn't work
i did it
and it says the same message
about vanilla hk
Just doing those steps alone will revert hk to vanilla, opening the mod installer after those steps will just install the modding api again
yea when i opened mod installer it isntalled it
so should i just click revert to vanilla even if there is an error message do i boot up the game and see what it says?
1 sec, mobile sux ass
damn, but just doing <#archived-modding-help message>, without opening the modinstaller afterwards also would've worked
but at least it works now

Sure. Delete your save if you die
good point :/
quick question
so this mod installer doesnt work on windows edition hollow knight rt?
i think you're refering to the microsoft store, if so then sadly only when dual booting linux, as outline in the pins
Is there a guide somewhere on how to manually install mods for older versions of the game?
I'm using it on windows right now
You mean the one by Gradow, right?
what version
1.2.2.1
check out the guides on speedrun.com for speedrun related modding
Ok thank you!
ty
I meant from the microsoft store
hello, i am wondering if anybody here could help me please. in trying to use the modinstaller from the radiance.host website on linux. i run it through mono like people suggest, but i cant access my game files because they are in a hidden file (im on the flatpak version of steam). so folders like .var and .local dont show up. is there any way around this?
Oh, I didnt even know HK was on microsoft store
Yeah I think you will just have to buy it again, it works the same way for modding other games, you usually need steam
Oh, well then you wont have to feel bad i guess
oh shit it actually is
The more you know
does anybody know how to run the modinstaller on linux? running it through wine or mono wont detect my files
install your game somewhere that's not in hidden files.
i cant
it wont work for some reason
no matter where i try, it always installs under .var
Custom Knight
But i don't know how to make the skins
you download them
From where?
in pins you can find a google drive where theres a lot of skins
Thanks for help

oi yeah
go to this route:
program files x86 > steam > steamapps > common > hollow knight > hollow knight data > managed > mods > custom knight
make a file in the folder custom knight and put your sprites in there
only if that's where your game is
like this
oh yeah lol
can you get achievements if you mod
I have no idea
steam - yes
ok
oh your a mod
gog - also yes
so i just a bought hollow knight and i installed the mod installer but i dont know what to do
your modding staff arent you supposed to help?
i mean i kinda meant i need help when i said it
with what
you haven't asked anything
"i don't know what to do" is not a question
or any kind of starting direction to go off of
well ive installed the mod installer but do i have to make any separate folders or anything like the mods?
you can't install the installer
it's just a program
you run it
did you run it yet
or did you just download it and then sit on your hands
ive opened it obviously
and done..... what
did you click buttons
what buttons
which installer
where did you get the game from
what OS are you on
^relevant info
which I have none of
I had to even pry it out of you that you even ran the installer file
TELL ME THINGS
i didnt click anything except select the path of my game and my os is windows
obviously got the game on steam
and the mod manager v8.5.2
okay. so what's your question
did you click install on any of the mods
they're all listed there
no i didnt because i dont know if i have to make a seperate folder for mods or anything like that?thats my question.
okay thats all i wanted to know is if i made a seperate folder
next time if you wanna ask something, try to be more specific
ive never modded anything before i was just confused im sorry.
is there a way to manually reset the nail damage back to default through the debug mod
+/- keys, until value corresponds to https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Nail
how do i check the value
just by how many hits it takes to kill
or is there a way to see
afaik it's displayed in the console like thing in the bottom right when you have see all debugmod "windows"
wait no, it's displayed as one of the values on the left side
nailDamage = X (flat y * z), where Y should correspond to the above link
thank you
Hello, i just installed the Hollow Point mod and i dont know how to switch to the AK-47, how do I do so
Tap focus
doesnt work
Is modcommon on
nope i didnt realize that i needed that
Okay, uhh...
I copied the Mod API files into the HK Data>Managed folder, now the game wont start up...
Or just how do I download and install mods??
The modinstallers can install the API for you
I suggest verifying game files, and grabbing whichever one is appropriate for your OS
Uhhh ok I'll just reinstall the game
And I'll need a proper guide.
Cause I want just the Enemy HP Bar Mod
What OS?
Windows
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
The installer is pretty self explanatory; just hit "install" on the ones you want.
It autodownloads any dependencies they have, and autoinstalls the API when you run it.
I seem to have in debugmod changed the keybind to cause the camera to follow me or not to my mouse click making it extremely difficult to play the game with it and now the mouse on it doesnt work for anything else ive tried reinstalling the mod anyway to fix this
I don't think I got an answer to this
Open your installer
so im kinda dumb i have the mod installer and i know which mods i want to instal how do i tell it to install them
jus click the install button/checkbox
i did but when i boot up the game i have no mods
if using installer 2, you need to install the modding API as well
yeah that was auto installed
screenshot your HK main menu?
k good
my mod installer wont work
when I run it, it starts the download, finishes it at 0%, then gives me an error message
nvm
I forgot to shut down my vpn
hey i tryed the mod loader thing and now it wont load and i dont know what to do
kindly define "it" and what all you did before "now"
when i click the modloader app it wont load
wait
nvm its loaded now i dont know what happened
does the mod installer from nexus mods install Modding Api version 53 also does that allow mode select like skurry?
nvm
whats the difference between room rando and connected-area room rando
also can use hollow point with room rando, item rando, and enemy rando all at once'
Room rando just randomizes all the room transitions. Connected area room rando is the same but it tries to make rooms in the same area connected (so if you leave a crossroads room you'll probably go to another crossroads room, though probably not the one that it usually links to)
My room rando isn't working. It says that It Failed to Load and to check ModLog.txt. any help?
what other mods do you have
bench warp, customknight and mod common
you are missing qol, vasi, and seanprcore
hm?
ill check
interesting I had them all installed but not selected? Anyways thank you :)
i did room rando but went through door and connected to is correct lokation how rare is that
is it possible to get hollow point to work with room, enemy, and item randos.
all at once
cuz it wont for me
what does cursed do?
im in room rando i go from the room normaly above king station to king station and from there to normal stag and also to normal broken king station stag but im in room rando tho
yea thats normal
When I try to install the Poorly Translated mod from Gradow's modinstaller, it shows 'Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the apllication will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately. End of Central Directory record could not be found' Is there a way I could fix this?
Cursed makes it to where every unimportant item is replaced by one geo and you dont start with focus and have to find it
Dont expect an answer from this channel past 7:00 pm, everyone here sleeps early
Welp, imma be doing something for a while so if anyone responds to me ping me
aahh i dont go to sleep til l10
This isnt necessarily modding, but when i was playing hollow knight on steam i got off and checked my hours played and it said 10.2 or something and then i play for like an hour longer then i leave the game and my playtime is now at 9.2. what!?
I have the modinstaller downloaded and it worked properly for Current Patch but not for my downpatched version (which I store in another location). What files would i have to copy over and where in order to get it on my downpatched version?
Hey so me and my friend are trying to start a co-op run of hollow knight using the multiplayer mod, I have tried everything to try to get this mod running including turning off fire walls, checking connections through hamachi, and reading FAQs on this subject. Any advice?
close the clients game til the server person is already in game and connected through himself
Is there any way to install the Hollow Point (beta) mod? I wanted to try out playing the mod without the health/healing changes?
someone pass me the mod of the skins manually mind thanks
someone pass me the mod of the skins manually mind thanks
How do I solve the ModInstaller error does not work for me? Can someone help me please?
check pinned messages
I've already tried that
Hi, have you enabled both co-op mods or just one , cause both are needed to play
I don't speak English, I use a translator, someone speaks Spanish
comprobar mensajes anclados
are you talking about modserver and client?
No me funciona el modinstaller
Those mods are required 4 multiplayer
@novel bronze
yep, I got both of those
Good, is your friend struggling to join u or wut
Well, what's happening is I start the server and he tries to connect, but we can't see each other in game
hmm
I'm not rllly sure how to solve that, sry
It's ok, I've been trying to solve it for a while
good luck!
Perdón por la respuesta tardía, intenta reinstalar el instalador del mod. ¿tal vez?
@gritty osprey
Además, si está utilizando una computadora portátil, debe descargar la versión para computadora portátil.
Si está utilizando una computadora normal, debe descargar la versión de Windows.
How do I open the debug menu
F1
Thank you
help. i have a few mods installed (not hollow point) but now i cant heal. also, my modinstaller says it cant find vanilla hollow knight how do i fix those
to get vanilla hk: steam -> right click hk -> properties -> local files tab -> verify local game files button
with the healing: if you once had hollow point enabled, you may have to save edit to be able to heal again
sorry for the ping but what
not the folder, the square/whatever in steam
oh
also i can heal, just not in the nkg fight. my soul deosnt become white and even when its full the o button deosnt work
yes i play on controller
also what happened
that's the modded game file that was reverted to vanilla
ok but it says failed
but the healing thing, idk what would cause that
yea, because it's not the same as it's when you didn't mod it, will redownload that and replace the modded version
i did it again and it worked, thanks
np

im not sure if this is the place for it but for the randomizer
how do i properly set it up? it randomizes a few rooms but then they sometimes lead to the correct ones
am i doing something wrong or?
Area Rando doesn't randomise every room
It randomises the areas, but the rooms within those areas remain the same
ohhhh
Readme has the details for the different room Rando options
So you can get the one you want
so i do "connected-area" randomizer?
Actually I think I just described connected area Rando, and area Rando keeps the areas in the same place but the rooms inside the areas move about. Like I say, check the readme for accurate descriptions
No, you have that reversed; connected-area room rando is the one that shakes up the rooms within an area but leaves connections between areas the same
Area Rando randomizes area transitions and is v fun :)
my killer whale skin isnt working
for some reason
i did all the right thinks im pretty sure
The most common problems are, modding API not downloaded, skins not put in the folder properly (or the actually PNG files are in a nested folder. If it is in a nested folder it won't work. How it is supposed to be is managed->mods -> custom Knight-> killer whale -> PNG files). The last one is not waiting long enough in the pause menu after pressing on the skin
do i use this one https://gyazo.com/c7ae49bc64948b11a09cf747f74b8e4a
https://gyazo.com/d0357eea34e07584c608e1ceceb63f39 or one in here
The one that isn't a compressed zip file
Thos screenshots aren't very descriptive, though.
If these 8 are there then it will work
I'm pretty sure they are in the zip archive that is present here
So extract/open that and see
ok thanks
Did it work?
yeah thanks
a lot of the mods won't work, the game tells me to check modlog.txt or something
I don't know if I should be asking this here or the speedrunning section but I'm trying to downpatch hollow knight from the gog app but in the configure part the installation section doesn't show up. Do any of you guys know why? thanks in advance
Was this to me? If so, it still doesn't work if I open up the mod installer
Open mod installer and click enable all installed mods. If that doesn’t exist, then either 1. You need to delete all files with ModdingApi in your save files path. 2. You have multiple installs 3. You think the api isn’t installed but it is
First or second definitely. Thank you
How do I get to the saves file path
Yea it will

Why does the modinstaller 2 keep crashing whenever I disable something
Or are those like required mods?
Even for me it crashes when I disable mods
So I just uninstall them
When I try to install the Poorly Translated mod from Gradow's modinstaller, it shows 'Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the apllication will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately. End of Central Directory record could not be found' How do I fix this?
which folder do i select for the mod installer
in room rando item rando and enemy rando why do i get essence for dream enemies but not whispering roots?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight
ok thanks
np
also if that doesnt work it may be here
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
also room rando is on yet every room in resting grounds goes to where its supposed to go and king station leads to the stag and broken stag like its supposed to is it just my luck?
ignore the D:\ just pay attention to the actual hollow knight folder
did you make a new file?
yes ive been doing that alot yet stuff still leads to where its supposed to
but not everything
Hmm, did you change the thing at the top of the screen when you make a new file
yes
let me launch HK to get it fresh in my memory one sec
i know room rando is on cuz kings pass doesnt lead to dirtmouth
the custom knight mod doesnt download for some reason any idea why?
you may have it to connected area rando
Should look like this
heres what it looks like for me
if it randomizes some things then the other mods dont matter
Your aspect ratio is weird, the text shouldnt be that chaotic
or something like that
Ok, click Item Randomizer until it says Item + Room Randomizer
oh i started a new one to show u what that looks like for me
but ill follow
wait it said item + area rando
now it said item + room rando
is there a difference
ok youre good to change anything else now
area is like dirtmoth and howling, but room is actual rooms
thx
so crossroads would be normal but when you left for greenpath you might end up in deepnest
ok
You have 2 different randomizers installed. And you have mods failing to load
no nothing that would affect the rando doesnt load
but why is the text so chaos like
Get rid of randomizer 2
Well to me it looks like the same rando GUI is on twice
no if i get rid of rando 2 rando 3 doesnt work
Oh wait yeah youre right thats rando 2
i have a safe file that im not done with yet but i want to try a randomizer, can i install the randomizer without it affecting my vanilla safe file?
Yes
Well guess you're the expert. Keep rando 2 then
but ill try
When you make a new save you get to randomize it
alright thank you
my only other question is how to get room rando, item rando, and enemy rando to work with hollow point
ok so i have the mod installer and i've selected the file but how do i use it
I need help getting item rando for mac pls
when I try to put mods on hollow knight, the game doesn't load mods and I can't get on the map
can someone help me?
maybe change ur map bind to something else?
how?
ok, thx
but the mods don't load
What do you mean by how do you use it?
nvm i got them all to work
exuse me but i need help getting item rando on mac pls
use the installer
Do you already have ModInstaller?
no
Click pinned messages and get the second one
never mind i was doing it wrong im fine now
