I have modinstaller 2 since modinstaller one isnt working
yes on mac 2 is preferred
not sure what the api uses for mac paths
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
No I just use > as a general symbol for all paths
I meant the path inside the game files
customknight has different paths between windows and mac foe example
hollow_knight.app
Wait what's this one
Oh, well, just say what those are for mac and go one up, I suppose
no?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@hard sierra can you respond to this https://discordapp.com/channels/283467363729408000/462200562620825600/806409265568546827
- Because the other guy said I needed to check it
- Because theres no install buttons
Anyways I'm gonna go make some tea for myself, you two have fun
then why did you say mod installer is putting the files wherever
because im not sure what else it could be
if there are no install checkboxes/buttons then how are you installing them
This is what I see
just check the installed? box
I did
and?
It gives me the files
what files again?
yes
what are you installing?
hollow point
try installing something else for now
other mods give me the same files
ok......
and now i've crashed
mod installer 2 crashed?
And I'm back
yes
Oh my god that thing is broken so badly
who's gonna tell 56
Why are you on mac?
my pc broke
It's literally just pinging them 
and I was forced to use a mac
they made 2
Modinstaller 2 is theirs?
Ah
@glass meteor come see this
Whenever you have time
not the best message.....
echgod
whenever he comes back and just sees "see this" without a link to anything or anything specific he's giong to go back to muting thechannel 
me when someone says it is broken so badly and I have gotten all of 2 pings about it in like 6 decades
I hate it here
Oh I see
lol
I just thought the conversation will be contect enough
context
anyways
idk red said you should be shown this
Although I don't think it's a problem with the modinstaller itself
summary: person has mod installer 2. person use mod installer 2. person get random files on desktop when checking install box. mod installer 2 crash

so this wasn't there before
did you set the game path correctly?
yes
gimme the settings file in ~/.config
yeah that seems rather small
uh huh
did you select a hollow knight app on the desktop or some shit
no?
then why is that the install path
did it ask you to choose a path
yes

anyone here played lightbringer?
am i just locked out from sly and the charm vendor until i get to resting ground
because thats kinda garbage lmao i cant even get a lantern
Wait why would you be locked out of them?
That's intended
Gruz Mother is made absurdly hard, you come from the other side
It's not garbage it's just different
That's the point of mods, they make the game different
how do you get the multiplayer to work we alrdy di the amchi thing
fireb0rn has a tutorial on how to get it set up
Hello
I got a problem
Sometimes my game stuck at the loading process
I have to reboot to overcome the problem
Just your vanilla game or what?
I have a problem
My sight range was shortened after I installed mods
Is there any fix for it?
transition to room next and back, unless you have the darkness mod, which kinda makes things dark
you installed any other mods other than custom knight>
Nope
try to go to another room
Same effect

in the debug mode, is there like a mode where you just don't...fall?
not noclip style, like I physically cannot fall and everytime i jump, i ascend but don't fall
yes
Cast VS or something to get out of it
Or reload the save
That's just base game stuff happening, FYI, not a mod issue
lol
a lot of issues whenever I touch debug mode always softlocks my game but that's a first
is the pinned mod installer the correct one?
the line says
C:/Users/{username}/Downloads/Hollow.Knight.Godmaster.v1.4.3.2/Hollow.Knight.Godmaster.v1.4.3.2/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\Assembly-CSharo.dll: FAILED TO LOAD! Check ModLog.txt.

It's fixed
I just needed to remove the dll
thx a lot
hey can anyone help me with a problem that i'm having with the debug mod? Basically I have my left click set as my attack button in game, and i also accidentally set it to load the knight back to the last bench sat at. If I pause the game and then try to click on something then the game will freeze and crash, and I don't know how to fix it since I can't click on anything in the mod settings. I have also tried reinstalling the mod, the mod installer, and the game itself, nothing has worked so far. (I asked yesterday but am still experiencing the problem, if anyone could help it would be great :D)
please ping me if anyone has a solution or any questions

just launch game
ok great, thanks again!
Omggg is that the Kakyoin skin?
does anyone here use the health bar mod and can help me?
Whats wrong with it?
the health bar is too big
That's tanjiro
But I wanna try kakyoin too
Well I'm an idiot 
how do i activate child of light
It replaces normal spells
i have normal spells and i tried upgraded ones too
child of light didnt replace my spells
i just installed it and it worked the 1st time
hello. i tried downloading that mod from pinned messages. i got it set up and i opened hollow knight. but for some reason once i tried to open hollow knight, i found no mods even tho i chose a few. what to do?
no it doesnt show it at top left
Then isn't installed properly
how do i install it properly
Which mod installer are you using?
what do you mean
Does the modinstaller have a zote icon ?
yeah
why wont hollow knight mods work even tho i installed them
So it's 1
i use mod installer 2 thing
And are any other mods downloaded cuz some mods like hollow point and light bringer can affect this mod so it's best to not use together
can anyone help?
Can you open the location of the mods file
i have debug custom knight mod common charm overhaul and benchwarp
Screenshot your main menu
gimme a sec
This location
C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
nothing came up
@limber egret this is the start menu even after i opened up the mod installer thing and yes the mod installer is set up
C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
still no
@hidden sinew is your install on D drive or something?
Did you download and enable Modding API?
yes
ill just figure it out ;-;
i think the mod isnt installed
wait api as mod installer thing that shows mods or something else?
it is
so i just wanna check the dll file is there in the mods folder
i went into mods in settings and it says its enabled
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight
does this work?
yes
open hollow knight data
then managed folder and then mods folder
and ss what comes up
there isnt a child of light folder
lemme check that
im just reinstalling it
My enemyhpbar mod doesnt work and I have no idea why, can anyone help?
@hidden sinew another problem might be that you might have downloaded the mod and then opened a new save file. if that was done, the mod won't work. you have to use it in a prexisting save file
ok
wait. if it doesnt show on top left it won't work either way
so maybe this is the problem
Hello, first of all I am Spanish, and everything I write I am translating with the google translator, but I would like to know how to install new hatchlings, that is, new mods that modify the amulet of the hatchlings, because I do not know how to do it and I I would like to know how to do it
Could someone help me please?
If you mean Glowing Womb buffs i don't think theres a mod for that
Si te refieres a los beneficios de Glowing Womb, no creo que haya un mod para eso
There are mods for that, I have seen them in several videos, there is even a mod in which you can put them all at once and have 20 pets, but I don't know what it is and I don't know how to install it.
Infinite Charm notches lets you use every charm, but if you've seen videos with that check the description and they should be listed
Thanks, but I'm not looking for that, what I'm looking for is how to install, for example this, instead of having the classic boring default pet
part of the hatchling mod
or customknight
i think customknight is a general replacement of the normal thing
hey peeps. i need help with using modinstaller2 on hollow knight. if someone can help dm me
i only need help with 1 thing
Why dm?
Ok, it's exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't know how to install it, that is, I put the same zote and hornet sprite inside the CustomKnight zote mod folder, and it didn't work for me, I'm looking for how to install it
either dm or here

Should the map work in item randomizer?
so when i open up modinstaller2 i need to turn on api thing. it says that its out of date and i was told to click on the orange box and wait
what to do
it wont install api thing
Wait for the orange box to go away
does it take a lot of time
Is your internet connection good?
yes
it would be a json file I'm editing, right? Just making sure that I don't mess up something
also do I need a program to open it or will notepad work just fine?
alright then
I cant open the modinstaller for mac
did it work?
Mod installer 2 for Mac?
Yes
how do I install the latest version of modding api
The one in pinned messages so i would assume so
Use a mod installer
There are 2
The top one or the slightly lower one
Ok
when I try to use the mod manager that relyea(or whatever hes called) links in his modding tutorial but it breaks the game
@glass meteor you asked for mod installer 2 stuff, here it is

Delete all files with ModdingApi in their name
They will be correctly generated when you open the game again
ModInstaller 2 (Mac)
it worked, thonk
one day i will be able to get a .app with the executable bit set from windows
today is not that day
Okay i have the mod installer now. I clicked "install" and "enable" in the app but when i start the game up there's nothing new
no new menu or any sign of mods
help
Mods automatically enable when installing. If you clicked enable that disabled it
well idk then
:/
You may have had a similar glitch to what i had a few days ago, did your HK uninstall on steam then you had to reinstall?
Nope
Do the mods actually go into the files
No i just checked. But i dont know how to change where the mods get put
I just clicked yes when i first installed the modinstaller
and i've deleted it and reinstalled, hoping to get the options to change it
¨doesnt work
do you have 1.0 or 2.0
2.0
fat rip, idk much about it. i recommend going back to 1.0 until someone can help you
aight
Did you install the modding api and modcommon from the list
It just says modding api windows out of date
theres nothing for mac
im on a mac
holy fuck am i that stupid
Does it mean the mod window
i am
dissapointed in myself
You click the orange box next to out of date
It says windows but it's for all versions
@glass meteor hey modinstaller2 doesn't work, it's like broken or something

Hello! I am brand new in the discord and I was trying to figure out how I could start doing randomizer runs of Hollow Knight. Any help would be appreciated 🙂
Check the pins
Okay! thanks
Yeah
Nope. They've bamboozled millions
And taken all their money
With a subscription system

Hamachi
Yeah, but thats just what you told me wasnt safe....
yes. i'm the only one that has debunked their business. everyone else is still fooled. Instead, pay me and I'll write a new vpn connection service /s
K look can you not joke here, dont mean to be an ass but im just trying to save my goddamn sanity
plus, as shown by your screenshot here, your question is not very good
"is X safe" is extremely subjective based on what "safe" means to you
im really just debating on what can happen if i get it
will i be fine? Because im not very tech savvy
to me, it's a ridiculous question because it's operated by a well known business, it's been around a long time, i've used it a bunch, i'm careful with how I handle programs like that, etc. But if you're taking "safe" to mean "can anything happen ever with this program", then the answer is obviously no it's not safe because you could connect with people with malicious intent
it's not the program itself that's unsafe. it's how you use it
"is a sword safe" is also the same type of question
So nobody can just connect to it on their own unless I tell them the network-or whatever
if you're using it properly and/or displaying it, then yeah. if you're swinging it around all the time in a crowded room, then no
obviously not. it's not the wild west where you can connect to whoever
would be a pretty shit business if they sold that
just don't be dumb and post how to connect to you in a public forum
where can I find the mod for save states
Debug mod
There's a specific one for 1221 that isn't on the mod installer.
If you need that you need to go to #resources and download both the latest modding API and 1221 specific debug mod with save states. The API is one of the most recent messages, the debug mod is in the pins.
So, I am running a Linux install of the current patch of the game, have mono-complete, and got the ModInstaller.exe working through mono as mentioned in pins; it appeared to have installed properly (I did Modding API, ModCommon, Lightbringer), but when I load the game all of the save slots appear as "Loading..." and the title screen changer shows all title screens as being called "None." Is this a known issue with any of the specific mods, or does ModInstaller only function on windows installations of the game as well, i.e. through proton? Apologies if this has already been answered
the modding api settings file was not properly generated
go to saves location, and delete 2 files that have moddingapi.globalsettings

hot damn I love when linux users come through. they know how to ask proper questions
Yep, that fixed it right up, thanks!

So I was able to mod it before, but now that i’ve tried again, it wont let me hit the save files, and it doesn’t say that any mods are loaded, and the only way to fix it is to verify the integrity of the game files, but then the mods dont work. Please help
where do you change the speed with the sanic mod?
Where did you get HK?
Steam, ive been able to mod it before I just dont know why it isnt working anymore
settings file in the saves location
Follow the steps in the pins to reset mod installer. I would potentially go so far as to delete everything related to mod installer at that point. Load up the game and open a vanilla save file to ensure that you have a working HK before anything else.
Then start from scratch downloading mod installer.
sounds like the api settings thing again
Thats the thing, ive tried 3 times
but hard to tell from your description
Well it also says it can’t access a file called “Assembly-CSharp.dll”
Delete the two files with that name in your save files
Would've been good if you described that earlier
It just now popped up
no clue wtf you're doing
So I deleted the files but now its just a black screen
again, terrible description
I dont know else how to describe it
So I deleted the files
wonderful description. I now know exactly what you deleted
"the files"
all of them
literally all files everywhere
they are now gone
When I open hollow knight, it wont let me open the save files, and the whole menu is pretty glitched. If I verify the integrity of the game files, it works, but the problem only occurs when I try to attach the mods
TamiJo told me to delete the 2 files called “Assembly-CSharp.dll”, so I did, but now its just a black screen

“The process cannot access the file “Assembly-CSharp.dll” because it is being used by another process”
- that's not what they said (a bit on tami there not being super descriptive either)
- this is the logical end point of how you "asked a question"
Delete the two files with that name in your save files
save files are not game files
so I got the debug mod that has save states and this keeps happening
well thats all I know about the problem
same
except it's actually true for me
since you haven't told me jack shit yet about your system state
well how bout you tell me how to do that
- what patch are you on
- what are the full list of mods/dependencies that you installed
2b) were any and/or all of these mods visible on the title screen - what exact things did you do that led you to this current state
- what OS are you on
- did you use the installer
- any other info that you might think would be descriptive and/or relevant
what you did was send me a picture like this and ask, how did I get here
how tf would I know
current patch, bench warp and custom knight, I have the installer but I didnt use it for the debug version that I am using, and all the mods are visible on the title screen, you could have just asked that from the start
and you could learn how to properly ask a question so other people know how to help you
instead of making them play a game of 20 questions
send a screenshot of your title screen
and you still didn't describe what you did to get to that screenshot
I just started the a normal save, I went through the cutscenes, then cut to that
I still dont know whats wrong with mine
neither do i
Ive explained as much as I can to you
Now its saying “the file c:/tempmods/readme.md” already exists
Thats what shows up
Looks like the issue I had?
I did what Mickely told you to do? Let me grab the message where they told me what to do, though I can't be sure it's the same because I have never interacted with modding hk before today and it'd be good if someone more experienced confirmed it
though if my understanding is correct this shouldn't hurt
Ok
check this out
Oh my god lexi thank you so much it works!
Np, thank Mickely!
There's a debug version on the installer; is there a reason you're using a different one? Also you may be missing modcommon or some other dependency. Modinstaller 1 would grab those automatically
Although I myself am having another issue; it appears to be common but the normal fix isn't working
patch: current patch
mods: Modding API, ModCommon, Lightbringer; all visible on title screen
OS: linux (ubuntu studio 16.04)
description: I've been looking through the message history and this initial issue appears to be common to all controllers, that being that they are detected by steam but the game does not recognize their input; in this case, I'm using a Steam Controller rather than the ds4 or xbox controllers I've seen in message history, and attempted the fix in the pins of shutting off the controller before plugging it back in at the title screen to no avail. I've also tried a couple different things in steam's controller settings that seem to have worked for others (such as was described by dwarfwoot in this channel at <#archived-modding-help message>) to no change
Have I missed any known fixes in my short looking through message history, or does anyone have any leads as to how I would attempt to fix this? If it is relevant, my steam controller is connected to my laptop via a usb hub, in case that interferes with the replugging
I'll attempt it without the usb hub
The API only accepts XInput, so if the methods described where you're changing settings through steam controller handling aren't working, then you can use a third party controller to keyboard mapping program like joy2key. Your keyboard inputs should still be functioning no problem.
Hm, I wasn't aware there were input devices on headed Linux that used something other than xinput! I'll do some digging, thanks!
it does show up under xinput list as "Valve Software Wired Controller"
the API just messes with inputs. it's weird. I don't know if a fix has been identified yet, but like you say, it's a fairly common issue
the best workaround we've found is to use joy2key or similar
Understood
after installing mods, im unable to save and quit from the game
when i select it, it give the save logo, but it doesnt actually save the game. sitting on benches doesnt save either
it doesnt actually quit, and just puts the cursor on the "no" for selecting whether to quit the game
In case anyone else looks this up later: I got my Steam Controller working via setting its configuration in its own settings menu for the game(i.e., steam right click on hk and go to 'controller configuration') to a preëxisting keyboard mapping!
i reinstalled hollow knight an the issue persists
After installing the mod program every time I enable a mod all my save files are “loading...”
How can I fix this? 
do this
sorry for another thing: linux, current patch, mono-complete installed, on second use mono ModInstaller.exe results in an infinite loop of "Downloading Modding API" -> "Download completed!" -> "Modding API successfully installed!" before returning to the start
you have debug mod, right? Why is this a problem, just activate noclip and get out.
i already figured it out awhile ago 
also no inputs were working so I couldnt
aight
Anyone very familiar with Randomizer 3? I'm suprised it's being so buggy for me since it seems to be so popular.
As far as I can tell it always crashes on starting a new game IFF I choose not to randomize "Keys"
and I don't want to randomize keys because (I suspect) lumafly lantern is considered a key? but I want that to always be easy to find
show your title screen and your randomizer options screen
hollow_knight.exe is "(not responding)" after I click Start
I thought the installer would handle all the dependencies, but anyway I just added it and same problem
do you have vasi and seanprcore
it does handle them all, but if you disable them, then they're gone
yes on those 2
you didn't turn on cursed did you
loop continues to occur after redownloading ModInstaller; after clearing the .local/share/ModInstaller stuff; and after verifying the integrity of the game cache to have a clean game
I tried cursed once, but it's not chosen now
hmm, i didn't know about the .local/share folder, i'll try that
that's not for you
yeah, even leaving everything else at "standard" defaults, just by turning off "Keys" it breaks
then you probably can't do that
i just tried running the randomization with your settings and it doesn't work. the logic can't resolve
So fine, I can accept bugs in free software if that's what it is, I'm just surprised this hasn't come to the attention of the community, cause getting a reliable lumafly lantern is pretty important
On easy settings, logic won't make you go into dark rooms. Dunno what "skips" level they are
not if you're going for a streamlined/speedrunning route
they're dark room skips
reading
so long as dark room skips are turned off, it'll never force any dark rooms
you're talking about the room randomizer now, which is OFF. I just want the item randomizer
no im not
dark rooms are completing any rooms in the dark to get to items behind them
which would include dark deepnest, joni's, and crystal peak to get to mound/resting grounds
if dark rooms setting is on, intended progression could be behind dark rooms
so for example, lantern could be at joni's blessing
because it expects you to know how to move in the dark
oh, so the lantern is garaunteed to be accessible somewhere that's not dark, yeah, but i have to find it by chance which could take 6 hours on a run that would otherwise be a total of 2hrs
that's randomizer
ok, I'll report the bug to them and move on then
and with dreamers randomized, you may not need to enter dark rooms ever
because you could find all 3 in crossroads
Are you sure lantern is a key? You can probably find/ask what category its in
it is
just like kings brand
...i think
now i'm not as sure
i know king's brand is in the key class
yes, it is a key
where can I find ModInstaller's logs if any exist
saves
oh installer
don't think that has any
mods write logs to saves tho
which exe version do you have
Hm, not sure how to figure out what's going wrong with the installer here then
The exe is not version labelled, so I'm not sure how to check
if you're asking 1 or 2, only 1 works on my system, and that's the one I'm using
I don't have a version number in the application titlebar
it just says "Mod Manager"
where did you get it from and when
I downloaded it today from the radiance link, if that helps
outside of the loop, the only thing I have access to is a butten labelled "Manually" that I cannot click
in the main application window
it doesn't even have any console output
when I try 2, I get "void EXE-format" from WINE and "Cannot open assembly 'Modinstaller2.exe': File does not contain a valid CIL image." from mono, if using the other version would be a solution
does anyone know where you can find the cheatsheet for your specific randomized sead

What does the unofficial HK patch actually patch
Thank you Basil!!!
I was referred to the wrong doc
what’s the sharp shadow fix?

hey, ive been trying to do some hk randos, and cant seem to get enemy rando to work with room and item rando, is there something i should do?
Are there any small communities focused on chatomkngith nodding? I’m really scared because I’ve never done something like this before and would love to know if there are some small communities I can get more nitty gritty with.
- i'm assuming you mean customknight, not chatomkngith
- there's team white palace, but afaik they're not accepting any more members

verify integrity of game files on steam then launch the game
launch the game itself?
yes

what abt the healing
uh-
ok after i open the game then what
?
look i cant heal
well your game is back to vanilla so
So I guess I somehow corrupted my game or something, and now whenever
I try to do anything with mods, it just doesn't even let me choose a save or anything
wdym doesnt let you choose a save
like they're all just blank
and if I go into the mod category in options, its just blank and end up having to force close the game

can you manually install mods with ModInstaller2 or does it only work on the old one
Manually installing mods is without an installer
You take the mods and drag them into the mods folder
Are you on Mac?
i was referring to the function of the old mod installer that let you manual install and add new mods to the installer so you can enable and disable them like the pre-included ones
The modinstaller (old one) autodetects any new mods; I'd reckon the second can do the same
But if you're on Windows I'd suggest to just use modinstaller one for now
i can't, it breaks my game for some reason

lmao
hey! how do I bind keys to savestates
debug mod?
found it! nevermind.
I'm attempting fireb0rn's Trial of the Absolute Fool with Italy's CustomTrial mod, and I'm not being pushed back when I hit the Lost Kins in the first wave. If I try to pogo I just fall into them. Every other enemy is normal, including those in the second and third wave. Anyone know what's up?
Oh, I'm using the older version so I don't need to edit the .xml
Interesting
i use modinstaller 2. when i try to turn on api it shows a orange box and says "out of date". i was told to click on it and wait but i waited like a hour and nothing happened. help?
my version is 1.4.2.4 so maybe thats the problem?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2zayjiQiRQ what is this mod?
The Short Nail Mod decreases your Nail length when you equip Longnail and/or Mark of Pride, but gives you additional Charm Notches for equipping them. Using this mod, I defeat Ascended NKG with Nail only. It's a lot harder than it looks to just land hits.

i wanna baby nail
i want to use mods
but cant
bc problems
modinstaller2's api says "out of date" so i cant do anything
you mean baby nail mod is gone?
If you're using a pirated version of the game you can't use mods
Um, I just started using a skin mod thing, (Sapphire by LOATR which looks amazing.) Followed Fireb0rn's guide, and it worked for a while, however I found that when I switched skins mid-game (While not on bench) I turned into a white square? Does anyone know how to fix this? (I'm using a computer with old hardware so)
Please screenshot your main menu
When do you turn into a white square? When switching to which skin?
i installed it and it just black now
Installed what?
it

mod_installer
evrything works except when i install custom knight in
Please can you be specific about what is happening?
well i installed mod installer
and it worked
except when i install custom knight
like thats the only reason i installed this

anyone got a modinstaller for 1.4.2.4?
No.
some guy on reddit told me to ask ppl for a modinstaller for 1.4.2.4
Mod installer only works on the latest version. If you're unable to prove you've bought it then we can only assume you haven't
Given you have conveniently forgotten how to log into steam when I asked for a screenshot
@sacred linden What exactly have you installed, what operating system are you on, and what version of HK do you have?
imma stick to non modded hk
One moment, let me get it booted up
My Sapphire skin mod is ok, I think it was just the switching between skins that messed my knight up. Thanks TamiJo!

ohkkkkkkk tyy

Yes
kk thx
I can't figure out installing the impossible mod, can anyone help?
ok so... I installed both QoL and unofficial HK patch. Then I encountered Herrah, I used dream nail on her but the mods kinda interupted the progress and skip it to the end. Now I can't get the achievement anymore :/// is this intentional?
big F to myself
qol skips cutscenes and killing dreamer sequence
anyone have this problem too with custom knight? when I click any of them they don't do anything
It isn't set up properly
Screenshot your main menu
Wait
Did you unpause and wait for a couple of seconds?

ohhh, alright
man, this is not so "qol" :/ gotta disable it then
that's why, I disabled the ones I didn't need
QoL is not designed for a first playthrough
that is very qol lol
Qol is designed for making play throughs faster
You need Vasi, Mod Common, Seanprcore, and Sfcore.
Hence the skipping cutscenes
Install and enable those, and don't turn them off ever.
That being said
Mod Installer should install them automatically
thank you so much
for some reason, it didn't
possibly because I changed the download path for hollow knight on steam from my hdd to my ssd but not sure
No, should still work. Are you using Mod Installer 2?
does it make a difference?
oh nvm got it now, after restarting the game
thankf god the mod didnt fuck up with my game
I'm pretty sure that happens in the base game too, it happens with the dreamer achievements
beast's den is a horrible place btw. The herrah cutscene is the only good thing i guess. Too bad i missed it
Mod Installer does stuff like I just said so you're never without dependencies.
okay, thank you
Yo, I was playing rando + rando enemies and suddenly my dualshock 4 stopped working. Now It only works if I use Big Picture mode. Should I reinstall the game or the modinstaller? Or both? My controller works fine in other games, just HK it stopped working on normal steam mode. (sorry, posted in the wrong channel last time).
Use a third party software like joy2key iirc
Nvm, I uninstalled ModInstaller and everything related to it and now my controller works just fine
so, ive been using some mods for a while now, and the ones i use all the time when i play are infinite nothces, easymode and fragile strength for nail arts. today i wanted to test some more out, and downloaded pretty much all of them. i enabled a couple, and im guessing one of them gave me infinite jumps, because i got that. now, after disabling all the new ones and using my original 3, i still have an infinite jump. ive restarted the game and my pc many times and i dont know how to get rid of it.
I've had this happen once to me
You've got to download the debug mod and then open the game and save file and then deactivate the infinite jumps
And then remove the debug mod if you want
ah yeah also ive had debug mod for a while but it would bug out my game and not let me open my menu, and reset my position whenever i jumped
so i disabled it and never touched it again
could it still do this/is there any way to fix it
You can try it
Idt there is another way
alr ill try uninstalling it
Sounds like you changed the keybinds to other buttons

Suggestion:
Can there be a single pinned message (or Dyno tag) for Mod Installer 2 that has links for the current versions for each OS and a short summary as to what is different from it and the original?
My current understanding is that they're just maintained by different people, and that 2 might be the preferred one for Mac, but that either is fine for Windows.
As someone who mostly lurks and checks in here to see if there's any interesting mod news / updates, I see a lot of people that are confused about the versions, which seems pretty understandable since there's no real write-up, and the pinned messages just have message-less pins for 2 at the top, but the go-to Dyno tag only mentions 1.
they do the same thing
the UI is just different
2 was written to run for all platforms.
because 1 had to be run with mono on mac/linux
Yeah that makes sense, and fits with what my current understanding was. It still doesn't help lurkers who come here looking to mod their game for the first time though, which seems to always result in questions about it :P
I also see a few people who when they have issues, it's asked which Installer they're using, and the often times say 2 (presumably because it's the most recently pinned one usually), and advice they're immediately given is to try downloading 1 to see if that works instead. Unless there's something else going on in the background, that shouldn't really matter though.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
usually the question is asked to ensure they're using the right one for their OS. and to understand potential issues that 1 has that 2 doesn't.
like the "enable all mods" button
people are going to have questions anyways, usually because the process of installing is too easy
so they overthink it
That fixes it
is there any way to have 2 copies of 1432 (one with mod API, another vanilla)? I copied game folder, ran mod installer on it, but when I'm trying to start modded version, window shuts down and steam starting vanilla version.
i think you need a text doc called steam_appid.txt and then have like 367520 in that
and then have that text doc in the same folder as hollow_knight_Data
not entirely sure tho
oh, I completely forgot about it, thanks!
can anyone help me ?
i use the mod instaler perfectly but the mods dont install
like it say unable to do dowload list but i dowloaded the latest version of the game
and from the mod instaler too
after having the hollowpoint mod installed, none of my normal spells are working anymore
I turned off the mod and I am now able to heal
but the other do not work
1 sec
has anyone faced this problem, or any suggestions on what to do to fix it?
if you had the QoL Mod already installed:
- go to save files
- locate
userX.json(with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4) - ctrl+f "focusMP_amount"
- set the value to 33
if you don't have the QoL Mod: - https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- go to save files
- locate
userX.dat(with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4) - upload that to the website
- ctrl+f "focusMP_amount"
- set the value to 33
- download encrypted (PC)
- rename it to the original name (will be downloaded as
user1.dat, rename if you want slot 2, 3 or 4 to be edited) - put it back to the save file folder
im having trouble loading item rando and room rando WITH enemy can i gt some help
What are you having trouble with
well ive been doing some room rando with item rando, and i want to spice it up even more with enemy rando
so i enabled the enemy rando and every enemy was still the same
is there something im doing wrong?
Did you click the button to load the enemy randomizer in game
i think so
And you waited until it said it was done?
uh
"i think so" as a response means you didnt
i dont recall a done
When it said something like 100
Yeah lol
i will try reloading it and let you know what happens
You need to restart the game for the text to appear tmk
so your saying i need to enable enemy rando in game and close it and open it again?
wait nvm i see the loading
this was very helpful even though you didn't do to much for me

bonk
thank you
now I may be a bit dumb but I did the other steps in the User4 at the bottom
and then I went into game and my spells were still not working
ok that's weird, sadly i don't know what the issue is then
thank you for helping then!
Is hollow point still on
I turned it off trying to see if my spells would work with it off
What other mods are on
Nothing else?
did you rerun the game with QOL on after you changed the json?
and did you edit the json with the game closed
I did edit with the game closed
did you save the file
and also silly question but gonna ask..... do you have the spells
Can you send the JSON file here?
am I able to?
Did you send this while you were in game?
no
also for my current settings in game I have HollowPoint turned off
and everything else on
Hollow Point is still listed as on in this file.
How that actually affects things I don't know, but I scoured literally every line (except the geo rocks and boss sections)
Did you turn Hollow Point off just in the main menu where the Mods option is or did you disable it in Mod Installer?
yes
alright I disabled it in mod installer
gonna try HK spell real quick now
still unable to
also looking at my mod installer there are a few more mods that were needed for rando that are on
Mod Common
SeanprCor and Vasi
Those need to be on
they all are
Never turn then off
This seems like a really backwards way of fixing this...
Oh, I see what you're saying
only thing disabled is Hollow point
File Explorer code: %AppData%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
Save Editor Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
This video will provide a fix to the issue of not being able to cast spells after installing the Hollow Point mod. This mod was intended too be used with new save files only.
Music Used: Revali's Theme Remix, by GameChops.
Just gonna leave this here...
that's the same as <#archived-modding-help message>, just video form
I know, a video guide is far better, imo.
But it didn't work
is there just a chance that hollowpoint messes with your save and bugging out spells?
So why are you posting it as a solution
huh?
cus I understand the adrenaline mechanic and that didn't work through my playthrough
Wait, so you're Hollow Point mod didn't work properly also?
and like I could get over that but then as I collected this like Howling Wraiths and Desolate dive I was unable to still use the adrenaline moves
I was leaving it here for the regular hollow point issue, @strong basin appears to be something else...
everything in hollowpoint worked fine but the spells
kmkeaton, can you just dm me your save file so I can take a look at it?
so the mechanic of using adrenaline to to use moves was never working for me
my save was posted up there just a bit ago
That's a .json
Not a .dat
If it's still broken after this, it's something wrong with your mod setup
We won't be getting any closure on if this worked or not for another 30 minutes 
god dammit League!
do you want me to replace this file for the one I have?
yes
I asked last night but nobody had a solution--I'm attempting fireb0rn's Trial of the Absolute Fool with (the older version of) Italy's CustomTrial mod, and I'm not being pushed back when I hit the Lost Kins in the first wave. If I try to pogo I just fall into them. Every other enemy is normal, including those in the second and third wave. Anyone know what's up?
I don't even know why that happens
Does it still happen in the newer version?
most likely
Well, if it works on vanilla, and not on yours. Then what's the problem?
It's pretty obvious that you need to do some classic troubleshooting
Try loading the save in the vanilla game, and see if it's still messed up
it presents me with this problem in the game
What's the problem?
"Hollow knight has encountered and must close.
A crash report named ""crash_2021-02-04-220806"" has been generated. These files can be sent to team cherry for analysis Would you like to open this folder now?"
when you do what
on the other hand mods are not installed
gotcha, so we're not going to share info on what we're doing when it happens
GL figuring it out
installed the mod called "Modding API Windows"

it won't let me install any mod, they don't appear in the game
i need help getting a enemy randomizer.
whats the difference between "modinstaller" and "modinstaller2" ? is 2 just newer?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
i get access to path denied error when trying to install modder
yah okay disabling everything and enabling it made it work
so thats pretty hype
thank you to anyone and everyone for helping me out
Anyone know where I can find the pale king skin. I looked around the web but couldn't find it.
two things
- there's an incomplete version in modding-disc
afaik it's missing the spells
- you can send the completed challenge to methylpalladium for the completed skin
I accidentally joined my main (unmodded except for Custom Knight) save on Hollow Knight with the Hollow Point mod enabled. Within a quarter-second, I exited out and disabled the mod to go back to what I normally use (Custom Knight). When I logged back in, I couldn't heal at all. Then, I enabled Hollow Point again and walked around a bit, disabled Hollow Point and now I can heal again but it only takes about as much soul as a normal shot with the normal ak from the Hollow Point mod, it is also insanely fast. I have tried re enabling hollow point but nothing changes. I have tried equpping/ deequiping charms, dying, even uninstalling and reinstalling the game, nothing works.
@desert pier if you need help finding pale king tell me
you need save editing. Other people have had this issue. Ctrl+f "hollow point focus" in this channel and you should find it.
okay thank you!
nothing... just something about switching to ak, randomizer not working and grenade launcher not working...
sorry for the bother
could i just look up save editing?
look up "hollow point" in this channel instead
alr
that worked! tysm! saved me 60 hours of replaying
Guys, how do you play multiplayer on hollow knight please dm me the answer thanks

this worked for me too! thanks @novel bronze
is there a mod that shows spike hitboxes, slopes, hazard respawns, and/or shade tether ranges?
For labbing skips
There's one that shows hitboxes
for 1.2.2.1?
current patch
dunno if this is right https://discordapp.com/channels/283467363729408000/283467985224466442/804057831178371163
That works, thanks!
np
where can i get knights sprites separated?
anyone know how I can set my health to 1? I'm assuming Debug Mod has that feature but idk
like max health or current health?
max health
save editing works there
oh damn, any idea how to do that?
if you had the QoL Mod already installed:
- go to save files
- locate
userX.json(with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4) - ctrl+f "maxHealth" & "maxHealthBase"
- set each value to 1
if you don't have the QoL Mod: - https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- go to save files
- locate
userX.dat(with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4) - upload that to the website
