how do i remove my modding api logo in current patch
logo?
Heyo, im having some troubles with decorationmaster mod, dont know if im missing something or what, but everytime i try load it its says failed to load mod,any advice would be much appreciated
Read 3 messages up
give it a day or two. a new api version is written and will be updated on the installer that fixes this issue
ah okay cool thank you
in the meantime, other mods should still function fine
I think it's just decomaster and the twitch mod that are temporarily broken
i had something else with multiplayer, but idk if it was the modding api causing it
Im trying to use the decorationmaster mod and it says "the given key was not present in the dictionary" does anybody know how to fix this
no probs
where do I get the impossible mod?
modding api
the thing where it says modding api
you uninstall modding api

on the installer, there's a button at the bottom saying "Disable All Mods" or something to that effect
(on modinstaller2 you can simply disable Modding API Windows)
is still there
go to steam, right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
when i try to install it just says couldnt locate hollow knight installation folder then it puts me in my folders and i dont know what to do from there
you go to where your game is
yeah i tried that and it did not work
then you told it the wrong spot
hey, anyone help? I installed the debug mod and now my game is in complete different language
wait so twitchmod is just broke rn?
how do i do hollow night path on a windows computer
im trying to get decoration master mod to work in order to do impossible any%
and its not working
doesn't work with latest installer
*api
if other mods are working, do this #archived-modding-help message apparently a fix is being worked on tho

how do you get the dream shield co-op mod to work ive been trying to get it to work but so far ive only gotten the shield to appear but i cannot control it
did you read the readme
I cannot get the debug mod to work, the menu will not reappear when I click f1. Is this something with the mod, am I doing something wrong?
do you have modcommon? are you on a laptop
is there another readme? the one that pops up only shows the controls but none of them work and the features
do you have numlock on
I have modcommon and am on PC
I don't have it on
What is numlock?
well if you don't have numlock on, you're not pressing the number keys
which is what controls it
that is not for you
ok
are you in a save when you're pressing F1? screenshot your title screen
Hey, is there a way to back up my save files?
copy -> paste
are u talking to me?
yes
wdym?
copy the saves, paste them somewhere else
any specific way I'm supposed to do that?
I mean, I don't think you can copy them in game

any specific place I should copy them to?
hmm... should I copy all of the files in my save files folder?
cause I'm having a hard time actually getting to the file
You only need the user#.dat ones, but no harm in having backups if your backups
kk, I got it thx :3
anyone know how to run nods on mac?
mods?
just click "enable" on the mods you want to have downloaded/enabled
i just wont to know sometign on witch platforme we can installe mod its pc right
Yes
someone please help I installed modinstaller and now my hollow knight is in a differnt launguage
Did you download art mod
i think im not sure
The art mod causes the wired text
Close the game, open mod installer, uninstall it
like do i just uncheck to installed? button
Yes
How long did you wait in the mod installer
about 3 min
How
k didnt know me getting water was that fast
You have to click the uninstall button, wait for a good minute and then close the installer
and game has to be closed
wait there is no uninstall button
it's the installed box
there just a "enabled?" and a "installed?"
you uncheck it
Basically uncheck the installed box
ok
again, when the game is closed
game must be closed
art mods is also a pack of mods, so make sure others are uninstalled, like shitmodst
hey guys im trying to get mod installer to work on mac and everytime i select my path file, modinstaller crashes??

like this
which modinstaller, 1 or 2?
2
can you show the folder you're pointning to
When you click open, does the game open?
no
not from hitting open there, but if i open it from the regular path in finder, it opens, but does not if im selecting the path from the modinstaller prompt
So you are pointing to the modinstaller to hollow knight .app folder (the with the icon) to the modinstaller and it's crashing?
yes
And not the folder named Hollow knight above it
the mod installer is crashing and game never opens
right im hitting open from that screenshot and game does not open and modinstaller crashes. game never opens
not never lol but in this scenerio game does not open this way haha
how do you do that?
- Launch Steam
- From the 'Library' section, right-click on the game and select 'Properties' from the menu.
- Select the 'Local Files' tab and click the 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' button.
- Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes. This will always download a number of files even if you've just verified.
- Once the process is completed, close the windows then launch the game.
okay it says validating right now
its odd that the game stopped opening
after it validates do you want me to try to open it with modinstaller? or just regular open it
first try to open the game normally to see if it works
okay, thanks for your help so far! it is about 50% done
ill let you know if it works after it validates
alright, game opened
that sounds good
so close the game and then open modinstaller and point to the hollow knight.app folder
wait no its not...
it opens if i hit play from steam.. but i guess not from the path??
i thought it opened but it crashed, yikes
yea
so now try with modinstaller?
so close the game and do this
okay
it still crashed 😦
i downloaded the modinstaller from this discord chat too
it was modnstaller 2 for mac
which mac version are you on
which is.... big sur? sierra? etc?
Catalina
okay.. looked like this one worked? but it didnt have me choose a file path it just opened to this
so it found it on its own
click install on the mods you want
okay how do i know if its working in the game then? isnt there usually text at the top left of the screen when its modded?
read the rest of the post
oh wow no way, you guys are lifesavers, thanks so much. I am so new to playing this on mac (i was on switch) and im so excited to get into it! now its like how do i use them lol
like save states to redo rooms with the debug mod, etc
also was this @real jacinth , -Seanprcore a typo for SearCore?
bc i dont see Seanprocore
gotcha so its SearCore now?
serecore, yes
press f1
my cursor isnt showing lolll
oooh do you have to be paused to choose stuff from the modding menu?
yes
do you guys by chance also know how to play 1.2.2.1?
?guides
you can find the downpatching guide here
make sure to read the part about mac
also, mod installer doesnt work in 1.2.2.1
so if you want mods you have to install it manually
do you need mods for livesplits for speedruns?
mods arent allowed for speedruns
livesplit is another program that you have to download
right i guess i dont know how the timer works and okay thank you so much for yourhelp
look at fireborns speedrunning guide and skip to the livesplit part
i still dont really know what im doing but thank you for getting me started! and i will take a look at it, i just feel like on Mac there isnt a lot of resources so i would think its different for mac user but i will check it out
livesplit doesn't work on mac,
and the only mac counterpart is Time split tracker, which don't have any ingame splits
so it won't split if you enter dirtmouth
i just figured that out.. i see livesplit one? @thorn merlin
the online version ?
yeah
ok i just want a timer i can see at the same time when i play. mac is so inconvenient to speedrun on 😦
You can keep the timer on another tab and then switch to it when you're on loads
Like to glance at it
when another window is opened, my hollow knight lose 30 fps
Damn
yikes. idk how i’m about to time my runs 😦
you could always use real time (bad solution ik)
i got this app called frame perfect but I would have to hit split at every split. and there’s no way to have a loadless timee with Mac
i need to invest in a Windows
i like Mac but this sucks
i’ll at least start some practice running any% nmg cp
maybe ask in #speedrunning and look through #resources maybe you'll find something
hello, i had a fun 40 mins yesterday with the hollowtwitchmod, then it crashed, now i tried a lot to fix it and got to the point, where i set it all up again, but in the twitchmod.globalsettings json file there are no cooldowns showing... can anyone send me a list of these, so i can try to fix it by copying them in there? (i might have done a mistake by trying to set the spike cooldown to a minute, since that was being spammed a lot)
I have an issue on mac. when I click the button enable to disable a mod(it is Modinstaller 2), ModInstaller 2 crashes, and then the mod disappears from the list
if I delete the mod on the folder Mod, it comes back on the list, uninstalled and disabled
so when I want to turn a mod off, my only option is too uninstall it. but this option is bad if I go to a wifi less place
Do you guys know how to access the files of the game? cause I really wanna delete markoth from the game
if you want you can navigate to the path where the mods are and move the dll files from the mods folder to like the desktop
it will remove the mod from the game but will still allow it to be "installed" in non-wifi places
you can delete the file 'level ...' and find the good number on the wiki, but it will crash
that's big brain
thanks
deleteing random stuff from game files isn't a good idea
why
there wasn't any other options
is that too much ? will my whole pause screen be filled ?
Isn't 5-6 enough?
or you can play with some and then remove and then play with the other
ig
I'll see
Whenever I try to download Language support mod. It says Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. please help
anyone?
in the installer?
Yes
hello
do you know a way to get the pale king ? or is he private ? what about the fool knight
are these TWP property ?
Fool skin you got to do the twp challenge which is in the pins
idk where i found it but here is the pale king skin (the part that's public)
hey so like i cant even get modinstaller functionally
i downloaded the one from fireb0rn's skin video description, and the one from the pins, and both can't obtain the modlist,
pressing 'offline mode' or 'retry' get the same answer of a mysterious error, where it doesn't tell me what the error is, just that it occured (note:i wasnt able to get it before but someone dmed me a different one and it worked, but i dont remember who, and cant find it :/)
what os are you on?
windows 10
Where did you get HK?
i got it off of steam, but i will try modinstaller 2, since it's actually taking time to download, but the other(s?) were instant, as if they were empty
Did you try moving the mod installer out of your downloads folder?
no -where would i place it?
well, modinstaller 2 is at least open? it's got a command prompt looking window, and another window infront of that which i assume was meant to be the mod list
it also asked me if my hollow knight install was correct, which i confirmed
So does it work or not?
If it's working it should look similar to this
nno..
i closed it and re-opened it to hopefully show the modlist, but now it opens the command prompt, writes some..code? and then closes and nothing else happens :/
Desktop or wherever. Downloads folder has default settings that prevent files in there doing certain things.
Let the prompt load give it like 2 mins
Is Hollow Knight closed or open?
closed
Did it ask you to locate your hollow knight files?
it located it like 'hollow knight [big string of file locations] was discovered, is this your installation' or smth and i clicked yes because, it was
Maybe reset the installer
i have absolutely no clue what that means or how to do it
Check 
oh, yep that worked, thank you :)
hey so now the modinstaller works, and my mods are showing up, however they just straight up do not work
customknight skins are displayed in the pause menu, but are unclickable
multiplayer(i am the host)'s tick boxes are visible, and clickable, but both name, ip bar, and etc are not visible
Screenshot a skin folder for me
like a skin folder or the folder that i placed all my skins into (the customknight folder)
Yeah, so I can see the actual png files and the file path
Also
Wait
Did you download the dependencies for these?
ModCommon etc
i downloaded modcommon, the api is functional, i also downloaded modconsole but unenabled it because i dont think it's required, and makes a big black transparent box onj the screen
this is the mods folder+ what's uh..happening with the multiplayer mod
rip
The file path should be
Managed/Mods/Custom Knight/[Name of skin]/knight.png
If it is not that it won't work
Maybe don't try using custom knight with multiplayer mod
,,but why?
it worked before, i just like yknow
owning customknight
@novel bronze check these things
The most common problems for custom knight not working are:
1. Modding API and/or Mod Common not installed/enabled
2. Skins not put in the folder properly. It is supposed to be is: Managed → Mods → Custom Knight → folder(with skin name) → the PNG files. If there are more folders in between this then it will not work. It has to only be Custom Knight → Folder → PNG Files
3. Not waiting long enough in the pause menu after pressing on the skin
4. There are other mods installed that affect/override custom knight (e.g. light bringer, hollow point)
from the looks of this it, it looks like there is a nested folder
everything has been resolved tyty
Yeah, I literally just said this
click here and copy paste what is here
but he didn't listen
it worked then good
If I install the mod to get more saves, will it crush my oldest saves ? And if I uninstall it ?
If you want to be on the safe side You can back up your saves by going to save location and coopyibg the userN.dat files
which one
I'm in unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight
do I copy all of them and put them somewhere, like desktop ?
?
why are some named .bak1107 ? what does it stands for ?
Bak = backup
all the selected files ?
Y ?
ok
do you have the mod installed?
use "]" and "[" to navigate between pages
alternatively the two keys to the right of 'P'
some people have different keyboard
you're on windows?

hmm where i can find skins?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
go to this path and add the skins to the custom knight folder

[ and ] on US keaboard layout, which translates to Ü and + on german layout, ` and + on spanish layout
hmm ok but i cant still switch the pages, like i have different layout i guess
yeah i though was the + and ` but didnt work
hm, maybe altgr + the keys work, but i don't know at that point
"alt gr" + "+" i tried
for a person from turkey some time ago it was a weird symbol (can't read turkish), but it was at least the button to the right of P
but apparently that doesn't work with spanish layout
yeah right there its where the [ ] are in spanish layout
maybe press shift while pressing it
i think its supposed to look like the normal saves but like with empty save
if thats how it looks definitly it dont work
and i dont want to delete one of my saves :(
manual method: go to save files, copy paste saves somewhere else, overwrite saves in game, (copy saves back if needed)

hmm i think im gonna need to do that

open killer whale
yea looks good
You don't have mod common installed
How do i turn the thing which says set start off?
You don't
That's the 'bench' you have selected. If you select another bench (or sit on one/get a hard save somewhere) it swaps to that.
I think you have to delete the moddingAPI.globalsettings files in saves, then rerun the game
Well, now I have an infinite load before the menu
Which Mod Installer are you using?
none
downloaded all by myself
was working like 3d ago but idk what I did to stop working
Well, I deleted my Team Cherry folder and now it is working idk why, anyway tyvm trying to help
Why did you delete the team cherry folder?
Cause Basil said to delete moddingAPI.globalsettings and it just made everything worse
I mean it's working so it doesn't really matter
Sorry 
But won't save files be deleted?
idc about save files
dw basil, making everything worse helped me fix everything
tyvm
so I manually installed custom knight, put it in the right file (I think) and it doesn't work
Got modcommon?
Ye
from where
The same place you got custom knight

@pulsar musk check these things
I think is 2 or 3
For 2 send a screenshot of where the PNG files are located making sure to show the path
so.... why are you on 1424
OH NO THEY KNOW
stop wasting our time. buy the game
lol they pirated?
and, they left the server
Honestly we should have known from"manually installed custom knight" 
yup
for modinstaller do i just select common/hollow knight/?
if that's where your game is
k just checking it wasnt hollow_knight_Data
how do you make separate installs for current patch?
copy -> paste
then add the txt file
didn't think it'd be that easy
?guides
follow the part of the downpatching guide that talks about multiple installed patches
OH SICK IM BOOKMARKING THAT
Is it possible to mod the windows 10 version?
Not steam or anything but windows store
no
Ok
you installed art mods didnt you
it kinda autoinstalled i think

hey, im looking to download the debug mod, anyone know as to where i can download it and how to set it up?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
cheers dude!
Hey guys, i just installed randomizer 3 on 1.2.2.1 and when i try to open the game it just has a black screen, does anyone now how to fix?
CP
cuz i saw scurry playing it and he was doing inventory drops and such, is it included in the mod?
QoL mod allows one to do that
QoL mod brings back a lot of that stuff
how do i interface with the debug mod in game? i cant hide the menu or anything
f1
btw, debug mod is also causing the same black screen bug, is there a specific debug mod for 1.2.2.1? to practice for speedruns and such
there's a special 1221 version of debug somewhere in this discord
you have to do everything manually
does anyone have a link to it?
ok
i downloaded the 1221 debug on the channel you sent me but the same thing keeps happening, i dont know if i did something wrong
yes. because you installed the API with the installer
which is wrong
you need to use that patch's API
is mod common also required?
no
i cant seem to find the link to the drive, is it pinned somewhere?
in this channel
how can i read descriptions for all the mods?
check 
the mods arent working for me, i downloaded all the right stuff and its worked before, but suddenly its not working and my files wont load when any mods are on. when i go in the settings 'mods' is an option, but when i click on it its blank and it wont let me go back to the start screen
anyone know whats happening cause i love to play with item randomizer and i havent been able to
not without more info
i got modinstaller2 and downloaded the api and when i opened HK the screen was black and wouldnt load
what do you need to know cause i have no idea what i did wrong and ive looked everywhere
Where did you get HK?
steam
downloaded the api
from....
the google drive thingy
Just use the one on the installer instead
ok thanks ill try it out :)
I cannot put my custom knights on ! When I go to the mod menu, the mod shows up but there aren’t anything that are displayed when I open the pause menu ingame
On Mac
I asked in the multiplayer mod discord as well but i was wondering if anyone knew why me and my friend cannot connect to eachother on versions 0.1.7. for server and 0.1.7F for client but we can connect on the version the mod installer prompts you to update to which is 0.0.2 Does anyone have any idea why we cant play on earlier versions?
wasn't it working before?
uhh i did it
was that supposed to be possible
what is the chaos mod?
No
are your skins in (game files path)/Resources/Managed/CustomKnight?
can you open one of the folders and show
and can you screenshot the pause menu
There is just the vanilla screen + the name if the mods on the top left, including custom knight
a screenshot would be nice
no
no
Ok
you should read that though
for where to put the skins
pretty sure where you have them is the wrong spot
Hud
I stream
it is the good one
i never did get any answers as to why the frick monomon is missing
what ?
i was playing enemy randomizer and got to monomon and they were just frickin missing
literally no idea how this happened
did you have item randomizer on
The names don't show up?
you need modcommon
He has it
your files need to be in the spot the readme says
oh wait i'm blind
so I was messing around with the debug mod and clicked the show collision boxes and now when ever I click on the pause menu the game says in the change log, closing pause menu and respawning and I dint know what to do.
no
Maybe uninstall and reinstall custom knight @thorn merlin
you set hazard respawn to mouse
already tried, didn't work
wrong file path, as mickely said
check the readme for the correct path
oh ok well how can i change that?
go into your saves folder and delete all files with DebugMod.GlobalSettings in their name
did you read the file path. this aint it
it is the good path !
well it's not, since it isn't working
hollow_knight.app/contents/managed/mods/customknight
you are in resources
you are in the bad path
yes

hey guys i just installed randomizer on current patch with some other mods but hk doesnt seem to recognize it
these are my folders
Example Mac Customknight file structure
Anyone know where I can edit my player position data within the files?
use the installer
But the mods still go in resources/ managed /mods?
i did use it @real jacinth
screenshot it
yes
Wierd
How can I change that without clicking on the pause menu?

This looks fine. Screenshot your title screen
where did you get the game from?
go to saves location. delete moddingapi.globalsettings files and benchwarp.globalsettings files
Does someone know how one can do this? I'm permanently glitched through the floor until I can figure this out
you're probably asking the wrong question
Can someone tell me where my save files at?
where can i find this?

Ok, i'm still a bit confused. Wich one is the save files?
should be 4 that you deleted
yes
kk
correct
Sorry if I bother, but I can't find them. is it in %APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight?

no. just run the game

So basically I was fighting in the Colosseum of Fools, and deployed a bench just to mess around (usually I would respawn back at the old bench beneath the Colosseum if I deployed the bench outside of the arena) and died, only to find once I respawned that my camera was still shaking in the centre of the arena, but my character was gone, and I couldn't pause. I alt+f4'd the game, as there was no usual way to exit and restart it, started it again, but this time the camera was stuck shaking just within the hallway leading to the Arena. If I press f5, I find myself falling infinitely, still unable to pause since I'm moving
oh ok
show me.
Ok, let me remember how to screenshot haha
same thing as before, no mods, plus i cant run the 1221 modded now
what
did you change where your installer was installing mods
nope
cuz before you had it changing your 1221
always have been installing it on my current patch copy file
yes
but with the installer i did change it
the mods are there
the game simply doesnt recognize it
i changed it
you're contradicting yourself
you can't deploy a bench in the colo room.
By that do you mean you shouldn't?
so you're just not loading the right game version then
look at the multiple installed patches method
you're missing the text file
so you're running your unmodded CP
obviously. and you're learning why
I don't know how to screenshot in pc, so...
Idk if it's legible
looks like your saves files to me
and looks like a lot more than "nothing is there"
Alright. Is there any way to fix it?
change your active benchwarp bench and warp to it
Oh. ok. Well, what happened is that my save files just suddenly dissapeard and I wanted to see if I could recover them
so your saves are fine
How can you do that without a pause menu?
might have to go into benchwarp settings file
and change active bench that way
or use noclip with debug
or your save might just be fucked
I see the benchwarp.dll file, do I edit that somehow?
nope
go to saves
and open the benchwarp settings file
edit the text in there and then save it
then launch game again
dunno if there's a variable setting for active bench tho
but if there is, it'll be there
So ik there is another discussion going on, but I was trying to install DecorationMaster, and I keep getting this error. I've seen a couple other people saying they got an error like this but no solutions, any thoughts?
what sort of name do save files have?
doesn't work on current api version
Oh, nvm. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it worked. sorry for the trouble
you have to go back to api version 57, or wait for version 59 to be put on the installer
Here's the Hk folder if that helps

go to saves
like has been instructed like 5 times in the last 10 minutes to different people
is there somewhere I can download the old api version with the modinstaller? or do I have to build it from an old github release?
I see the instructions, but there's nowhere is the word 'save' used in any of the files
user1.dat is the first save file
I didn't tell you to do anything with your saves
I said go to saves location
and open your benchwarp settings file
ok, I'll try that, thanks
Alright, I'm there now, what type of name should I be on the look out for in order to edit saves?
the word 'benchwarp is only used in the benchwarp file within the mod folder
you are still in game files
you need to go to save files
completely different spot
It worked, thank you!
Ok, now I'm at the file you specified, sorry for the confusion on my end @real jacinth
but now I loop back to my old question. What does a save file look like, how does one open it to access the benchwarp settings file specific to that save?
Or am I mixing things up entirely and I need to edit the benchwarp.global file?
you edit the benchwarp setting file
your saves are UserX.dat
but those are encoded
if you have QoL, you can edit saves by editing UserX.json in notepad
this is the benchwarp config file, this is what you need to edit
Thank you so much btw
...except benchwarp is cleverer than me and does not save benches in globalsettings
yeah not really applicable to this situation
then maybe editing the save would be the way to do it
Should I just find the file through trial and error?
uhh, hey, can u please send me the link to download mods? the one under relya's vid doesn't work
check the pins
oh yeah, thanks
do you have QoL installed
Yes, although I have no experience using it besides having it installed to begin with
so in your saves location you're already in
find the UserX.json file
that matches the save slot you're using
and open it in notepad
here is a reference for deepnest spa bench (i think) btw
"mapZone": 10,
"respawnMarkerName": "RestBench",
"respawnType": 1,```
then benchwarp back to colo bench
Which one do you think would work? From first glance maybe user1.dat or user1_1.4.3.2.dat since they're the most recent?
user1.json
the 1999 one alright
Wait I got it
Oh interesting the camera is now locked onto the knight
Though I was able to benchwarp somewhere else, thankfully
Figured it out! Thank you both so much for the help!!
When I run the installer I tells me that it cannot download the mod list because it could not create a secure channel. What does this mean and is their a way I can fix it?
can you try this version of modinstaller for me? #archived-modding-development message
(and tell me if it works, i'm yet to see whether this fix does anything)
thanks a lot, just making sure; you're on windows 7?
Yep. Is their anything else you need info on?
(i'll get the main branch of modinstaller updated with that fix and then ping you to use the version that auto updates)
hey jamie small question, will your modinstaller be cross platform or windows exclusive?
it will be based on winforms, so windows exclusive unless you use mono to run it on linux/mac
alright
yay! more installer versions to fracture the help
the intention is for this installer to be a lot more intuitive and to break less often, at least 
well hopefully it'd at least harmonize all the Windows/linux users
does it (the modinstaller that jamie sent) work with windows 10?
yeah, it just manually sets the protocol to be used rather than relying on windows setting it by default
(my build also disables auto-updating for what should be obvious reasons)
is that one just a branch of gradow's
yeah
so if you're on win10, probably don't use that one
submitting pr now ig 
cuz it doesn't have updates enabled
I keep getting an error when I'm trying to downpatch, it says "Depot download failed : error writing chunk for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_367520\depot_367521\hollow_knight_Data\resources.resource""
I have no clue what this means or how to fix it to be frank
so could it be named something like modinstaller (windows 7) or something like that
did you run the steam patcher?
this fix is to be merged onto main modinstaller, as it does not change anything for existing users. the build i provided was purely for testing, which is why i disabled updates.
I got the same error again, unfortunately
I'm using the one on youtube verulean made last year

Where did you get HK?
mods will not install on a pirated copy of hk
anyone??
you can use DebugMod to make yourself invincible
... modinstaller?
what
oh no, debugmod has its own menu that can be hidden and shown using f1
modconsole
and ok
btw
can debugmod fix the full screen glitch where you can't get out of full screen
ooh, alright thank you!
when i try to open the modinstaller i keep getting this message
win7?
yes
isn't the modinstaller only for win10
damn
because of a setting issue with the win7 OS updates
is there any way i can fix it?
wait for jamie to respond
ok
sure
temporary fix build for windows 7 users, use if the modinstaller fails to grab the download list (note updates are disabled on this version): #archived-modding-development message
thanks
(i've already submitted a pr to gradow's repo, could that be merged some time soon-ish and release made?)

could I have some help in installing custom knight skins?
read the readme
i've got an issue aside of that
the skin (sapphire in this case) shows up where it should be but the whole thing just disappears
the entire ui
as soon as I click
jesus
you don't have modcommon
the game is speaking Enchanting Table
oh ffs, I've changed the .dll (because ultrawide things)
didn't even notice modcommon
thanks guys

Hey does anyone know where to get cool hollow knight skins
so how do i ACTUALLY mod the game, i have the installer downloaded but im not sure what to do from there (this is the first game that i've ever tried to install mods on)
Look in the description of fireborn's custom knight videos
Thank you
You can look up a vid
But generally just open the installer and pick a mod and install it
me?
Nobody is going to help you
you run the installer and click the buttons on it
if i could do that i would
so when you can, do that. until then, stop wasting our time
you will not receive help here for having a stolen copy of the game
do u think i love learning a program lang just for hk
thanks for highlighting this for emphasis. glad you agree
oh and does anyone know how to get custom knight mod into a .dll file?
click what?
customknight
if this one, click the install button
if installer 2, click the "installed?" box
ok but i need it into a dll file to put it in a downpatched version
you cant
not off the installer you cant
mods are compiled for specific versions. there is no 1221 customknight mod
plus, the sprite sheet layouts are different
