[west bane]

are you the host or the client

[copper badger]

The host

[west bane]

get in gamee, connect to yourself, then client enters game and connects

if that doesnt work then usually a restart resolves the issue, make sure you connect to yourself before client attempts to

[copper badger]

Ok ! Thanks ^^

[gusty moss]

ok im trying to use the hollow point mod but it doesnt use the gun but it still shows the gun in hand

[west bane]

read the readme

[copper badger]

Sorry to bother again, it still doesn't work ^^'

[west bane]

are you leaving the port be 26950

[gusty moss]

@west bane ty. its working now ❤️

[copper badger]

Yes

[west bane]

ok so from start to finish
you and client are both on hamachi network
you launch the game, you start the game, you copy ipv4 from hamachi, and put it in, and hit connect
then your client does the same?

[copper badger]

I'm not sure if it's my IPv4

Where do i find it

[west bane]

idk should be on hamachi

[copper badger]

Oh round it

Imma try

[west bane]

client needs that as well

[copper badger]

Lol i thing it just doesn't like me

Think*

I can't get it right

[west bane]

you can also google like "whats my public ip"

[copper badger]

What they Say IS my public IP is not the as the Hamachi one

Wich one should i trust

[vernal rain]

use hamachis ip, as others can only connect to the one on hamachi

[real jacinth]

reinstalling?

it's just a program

[lunar copper]

i downloaded again

[real jacinth]

[lunar copper]

steam is open if that does something

[real jacinth]

steam is a program that launches games and lets you buy them

[final tiger]

The Grimmchild upgrade readme says it is customizable, how? I don't see and thing when I "open" the dll

[sweet glade]

Me and my friend are trying to make a server so we can mess around multiplayer mod, but I don't know the IP we need. Does anyone know how to find it?

[real jacinth]

it's your hamachi ip

[sweet glade]

I don't use hamachi

[real jacinth]

well you should

otherwise you need to alter router settings to allow port forwarding

and set that up correctly

[sweet glade]

are you sure?

I was told Hamachi gets complicated.

[real jacinth]

well you can believe what you want i guess

[sweet glade]

ill try it

[copper ether]

In reference to Debug: I accidentally bound the Mod UI setting that toggles the bind menu to left click, and it has made interacting with the rest of Debug literally impossible. Does anyone know a way to reset all binds to default without using left click?

[west bane]

navigate to your save files, delete “Debug.Globalsettings.json” and “.bak” and then restart the game. All your binds will be default again.

[dense dock]

Has anyone experienced a glitch/bug with Hollow Point where when you start a new file, and instead of getting the normal AK-47, you get a shotgun that doesn't shoot bullets?

[real jacinth]

no. because people read the readme

you should try it

[dense dock]

I read it

[real jacinth]

[dense dock]

did I miss something lol

[real jacinth]

mod does not work on a new save

you have to start save, leave, then open the save again

[dense dock]

huh

thats odd

[real jacinth]

it's in the readme

[dense dock]

gonna try that

ty

It worked

thank you for helping me not be an idiot

[wheat orchid]

hamachi is 10 times less complicated than port forwarding

[sweet glade]

ok thanks

[wheat orchid]

I've never got port forwarding to work, but hamachi is like: Log in, click button. click other button. enter in any name that has not been taken as a network name. have friend(s) enter network name you entered

[topaz inlet]

I just downloaded coustum knight and put. Skims in the correct folder but when I clicked to change the skin in game i have no sprite? Can anyone help

[wheat orchid]

is modcommon installed

[topaz inlet]

Yes

[wheat orchid]

what other mods are on

[topaz inlet]

Benchmark randomized and hallow point

[wheat orchid]

disable hollow point

has a conflict with custom knight

[topaz inlet]

Ok thank you

[novel bronze]

Excuse me I’m new and I have hk on switch. So I’m asking for any advice on modding

[twin siren]

You can't install mods on switch

[novel bronze]

I’ve heard of people modding other switch games with a plug-in called layeredFS so I was thinking maybe it could work with hollow knight

[real jacinth]

good for other games. hollow knight is its own game

[novel bronze]

I see...

But perhaps somebody could test it to see if it works

[real jacinth]

go for it

[novel bronze]

While I would appreciate diving into this potential Pandora’s box of hollow knight mods on switch. I have no experience with this plug-in or modding in general

[real jacinth]

then how about trusting the modding staff who are giving you a direct answer to your question

[novel bronze]

Sorry, I was only curious

[rustic cliff]

LayeredFS is a tool that allows you to replace game files through Atmosphere, but the game on switch is built completely differently and no mods would be able to run

[novel bronze]

Okay, thanks for an explanation.

[eager gale]

• My ModInstaller can't find Hollow Knight.

• The first time you launch ModInstaller, it will prompt you to set the filepath if it can't find the game. If you skipped past the prompt before, you can reset the ModInstaller's settings by deleting the "ModInstaller" folder at %appdata%..\Local

Could someone please explain this? I can't find that folder anywhere

[wide glade]

copy %appdata%\..\Local into the windows explorer address bar

this one

[eager gale]

Alright got it working, thanks a lot

[junior lynx]

ummmm what happened to the mod installer

my just says manual

then says click a file

[gloomy coral]

that's what manual means

when you want to download manually, you have the dll file of the mod

[junior lynx]

but what happend to the old ver4

ver

of it?

[real jacinth]

nothing

you probably moved your game

or lost the game location reference

[old rampart]

i downloaded hollow knight to a drive and set mod installer there but i then re installed hollow knight onto the new drive (cos that one had more storage). does anyone know how to change the file path of modinstaller on mac?

[junior lynx]

i have re installed it

[real jacinth]

follow pinned instructions for resetting the installer

[junior lynx]

but it still says the same thing

[gloomy coral]

try modinstaller 2

[stiff lagoon]

hello me and my buddy are trying to get the multiplayer working but having trouble

we tried running through hamachi too

do you have to have a fully updated mod installer for it to work?

I got mine of nexus

and it seems to be a bit outdated but idk if that matters

[real jacinth]

that very much matters

[thorn merlin]

install modinstaller 2 for mac

[real jacinth]

we don't put anything on nexus, so we can't guarantee it's up to date or free from malware or anything else

all relevant and up to date modding materials are in this discord

[dark crest]

rule of thumb: dont trust nexus mods unless its skyrim cuz skyrim is already broken

[ornate ember]

is it possible to edit my saves so I can change the level that my nail is

[junior lynx]

www...what is that

[gloomy coral]

[gloomy coral]

yes

which upgrade do you have and which do you want

[ornate ember]

pure nail

broken

[gloomy coral]

so you want the max nail upgrade?

[ornate ember]

no

other way around

[gloomy coral]

so you want the lowest nail?

[ornate ember]

yeah

[gloomy coral]

do you have QoL mod?

[ornate ember]

yes

[junior lynx]

send link plz

PLZ

[gloomy coral]

-close the game

• go to save files
• locate userX.json (with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4)
• ctrl+f "nailDamage"
• set the value to 5
  -click save and open the game

[gloomy coral]

check pins

[ornate ember]

ah

so I can change the nail damage to a different one to get a different level?

[gloomy coral]

if you want another nail upgrade check wiki for the nail damage values

[gloomy coral]

yea

[ornate ember]

but ingame, it will show as the pure nail?

in inventory

[gloomy coral]

I'm not sure about that

[limber egret]

It doesn't change the nail itself just the damage

[ornate ember]

I see

any way to change that?

[junior lynx]

where do i see pins?

[limber egret]

Not with anything that I've seen

[ornate ember]

up right corner

to the left of the search field

[limber egret]

If you're on mobile just click the title at the top

[ornate ember]

lol

[junior lynx]

yea yea

but where tf do i go after downloading a opening the file

[ornate ember]

figured it out

you can change the damage

[gloomy coral]

move it from downloads folder and open it

[ornate ember]

then there's another variable called nailSmithUpgrade

[junior lynx]

done

next

[limber egret]

Oh hype. I read through that entire file once. It was not particularly productive.

[jagged mulch]

is there a hollow knight mod developing tutorial anywhere

[limber egret]

#archived-modding-development

Pins in there have done getting started stuff

[ornate ember]

I just searched the document for "nail" lol

[jagged mulch]

oh ok ty :D

[junior lynx]

ummmm

what do i do next?

[limber egret]

Where are you up to exactly? Did you open the file you downloaded?

[gloomy coral]

make sure they both match

[gloomy coral]

click on checkboxes

[limber egret]

Please try to figure some of it out for yourself. It is really quite straightforward most of the time.

[ornate ember]

yeah I know

change damage and state

[junior lynx]

that doesnt appear

[gloomy coral]

then what does?

[limber egret]

Where did you get Hollow Knight?

[junior lynx]

modinstaller.app and _MACOSX

[gloomy coral]

are you on windows?

[junior lynx]

yas

[gloomy coral]

then why would you download the modinstaller 2 for mac

scroll down and you'll find for windows

[junior lynx]

SHUT UP im dumb

[limber egret]

I really suggest against modding your game if you struggle with files like this.

[junior lynx]

oh no i have modded the game before

its just the mod installer is broken atm

[limber egret]

Where did you buy hollow knight?

[old rampart]

hey downloaded and set-up the mod installer but random room doesnt work any ideas? im on mac and bought it on steam

[limber egret]

What mods did you download?

[old rampart]

well all i did was install the mod installer. do i have to download other stuff aswell?

[limber egret]

Yes, the mod installer just comes with a list of mods to download

[old rampart]

the enabled and installed boxes are both ticked

[limber egret]

You will need Mod Common, Vasi, SereCore, SFCore, and Modding API, as well as Randomiser 3

Randomizer 3 also wants QoL mod and Benchwarp Mod, or else you might find yourself stuck.

Download and enable those 8, see if it works.

[old rampart]

mod common?

cos theres no modding api for me

[limber egret]

There should be a mod also named Modding API. The list is in alphabetical order. If it is out of date it will be at the top. Click the orange box to update it.

[old rampart]

i clicked the orange box and hollow knight opened

[limber egret]

That's... Unusual to say the least.

Are you sure you didn't somehow also click on hollow knight?

[old rampart]

yep

k it didnt take effect

started a new file and left kings pass

and went to dirtmouth

could be the fact the mod's path is wrong

but i dont know how to change that even after redownloading the modinstaller

[gloomy coral]

can you screenshot the pause menu

[old rampart]

k

as in while im in kings pass?

[gloomy coral]

it doesnt matter

i want to see the top left of the screen

[old rampart]

just reopened the game, taking forever to load, wait a sec

now there is a white bar on the screen

now grey loading bar

that in the top?

there is a mod option but no mods downloaded

OK i think its working

thx

on this screen

[gloomy coral]

randomiser seems to be working

[old rampart]

yep

got killed by primal asphids on 2nd screen

thx

[junior lynx]

LOL RIP

[old rampart]

whats the difference between area and connected area and room randomisers?

[limber egret]

Check the readme for Randomiser 3 for a detailed description. There's 3 modes (and off) for room Rando.

[old rampart]

ok

thx

[fast galleon]

hello i am new here, but i wanted to ask for the multiplayer mod
are the mobs suppose to be unsynchronized? is there any way to fix it?

[wide glade]

yes the mobs are not synchronised, there is no way to do so at the moment

[fast galleon]

alright then thank you for the response

[opaque root]

Hi. Maybe someone knows, is there any opportunity to change keyboard assignment in Debug Mod not using that built-in?
Because oryginally i've assigned Hazard Respawn to Mouse0 so when i want to use my left mouse button- hk freezes.

and i cannot change these settings ...because i need left mouse button to change that in game

[gloomy coral]

So to save files and delete the files debug mod global settings

how do you mod a boss?

With decoration mod, can you install it with ModInstaller?

And can you share your custom maps with people?

[gloomy coral]

no you have to do it manually

[gloomy coral]

yes

[fair echo]

Ah I see

Is it hard to use?

I want to make a map for my friends to play

[gloomy coral]

you can do it manually by looking at fireborns guide

Ok tysm :D

My friends are going to rue the day they met me

[rich hill]

so i wanted to play as a custom knight and basically did everything in fireb0rns video like i installed the mod app and then custom knight and got myself some custom knight.i dragged them into that folder with the default knight and entered the game and they didnt show up in the menu

can anyone tell me if i missed sth ?

[limber egret]

1. Where did you get Hollow Knight
2. What OS are you on
3. Screenshot your main menu

[vernal rain]

maybe the actual images are in yet another folder inside the skin folder

[limber egret]

Almost certainly

That's usually the issue

[rich hill]

So I need to get just the images into the custom knight folder?

[vernal rain]

no, the customknight folder, inside that is the skin folder, which should contain the images, i just thought that maybe there is yet another folder

[queen moth]

does anyone know how to play custom hollow knight levels like impossible%?

i know how to enable mods like QoL but I can't figure out the custom levels

[gloomy coral]

@queen moth use this video to download the mod and check pins to get the map download

[tired cobalt]

I require assistance and I doubt anyone will help

[gloomy coral]

if you dont state how you need help then no one can help you

[tired cobalt]

I know, I prefer to talk about it then just ask straight away

idk why tho

but I have been following a guide to get the downloader to work but it says to locate the folder Hollow Knight is in, but I can't find the folder

Hi! I'm trying to use DebugMod on a mac, and I have everything set up and it works fine until I go into the menu to do something. Whenever I click something, i.e. try to bind "make savestate", it says this and the game refuses to do anything (it won't let me click resume, options, quit to menu, or other debugmod buttons) besides check which keys are being pressed (which is debugmod's job). any idea why this happens?

[gloomy coral]

Either the folders are wrong or your not waiting long enough after clicking on the skin name

The folder should be like this Mods-> Custom Knight ->[Skin name] ->image files

[real jacinth]

Or you're missing modcommon

[dense trout]

so, the normal mod installer works fine for me, but i decided to try mod installer 2 (the windows version) and the moment i select my hollow knight folder, the instaler crashes

[hybrid cedar]

good day, I installed redwing just now, but the assets are being quite stubborn with me, I install it, go back to the installer, and it reads that they have not been installed. It's happened before, how do I get the redwing assets to actually stay installed?

Hey! New to modding HK here. I've got it pretty much figured out, but I have ONE question; Where can I find the "Read me" file?

[past swallow]

has the decorationmaster and other mods (iirc) failing to load been resolved yet? also why does modding api crash when i open it?

[past swallow]

theres a button on the modinstaller, are you getting mods that arent on the modinstaller or from it

if you are mod installer 2 go to game files

Did something happen to seanprcore?

[vernal rain]

try going into taskmanager and close everything hollow knight

[vernal rain]

replaced with serecore

[gloomy fiber]

Ah, ok

[past swallow]

checked and it doesnt say hk was running, steam also says it isnt running

[vernal rain]

ok, now try running it again

[past swallow]

hk can run from steam but crashes from the taskbar shortcut

weird

also modinstaller is still crashing

[vernal rain]

hm, try making a desktop shortcut from within steam, and just drag n drop that onto the taskbar

[vernal rain]

what message does it crash with?

[past swallow]

the usual thing it does when it cant update a mod

unhandled exception has occureed

[vernal rain]

which mod did you try to update?

[past swallow]

none, it is trying to install the new modding api, probably because i downgraded for decomaster to work

[vernal rain]

hm, should work fine (does for me, just tested)

[past swallow]

idk it just says "installing modding API" then crashes

[vernal rain]

modinstaller 1 or 2?

[past swallow]

1

do you know what the problem might be?

[hybrid cedar]

redwing assets do not read as installed despite having clicked on the install button and then closed the modinstaller

[pliant lantern]

Did you wait for redwing to actually finish downloading before you closed modinstaller?

[hybrid cedar]

yeah

[limber egret]

Did you click enable?

[novel bronze]

heyyy how can I install mods in linux

[wheat orchid]

Run mod installer 1 or 2 in mono I think

Or do manual installations

[queen moth]

Is there a way to reset the debug mod

I accidentally bound exiting the menu to my left mouse button so when I try to select something the menu closes

I think i kinda softlocked my self

[vernal rain]

#archived-modding-help message

[fringe jolt]

The hollow point mod breaks on me randomly where the soul just stops regenerating for me. Anyone know why that might be happening? In case it was a charm I selected I make sure to go back to my old build. Even then soul doesn't regen.

[queen moth]

Thank you!

[hybrid cedar]

yeah

[novel bronze]

i want to play the multiplayer mod but when I enter the ip and click connect it does nothing

[timid bison]

you already connected with hamachi?

[past smelt]

how do i instal Multiplayer Mod?

[novel bronze]

what is hamachi

[rigid void]

Good afternoon, I just bought hollow knight for pc, so I could mod, and the mod menu had come under the assumption that I pirated the game

Why

[gloomy coral]

Look at fireborns video

[past smelt]

oki

[rigid void]

got it

[wide glade]

where did you buy the game

and did you do so after the modinstaller caught you

[pale sky]

i have a really basic quesiton

wait

nvm

wait, how do i go between modded n unmodded hk?

i dled the mod installer

so i can access rando, but i wanted to do an achievement first, but when i go back to the mod.exe thing, it says it can't find vanilla hk

[wide glade]

verify integrity of game files in steam

right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

[pale sky]

will that effectively uninstall the mods until i wanna reinstall?

[wide glade]

yes

i believe it leaves the mod files there so you only need to run modinstaller to bring them all back, but i may be wrong about that one

[pale sky]

no worries, looks like vanilla is back

rando will come after mr. mushroom blasts off once again

[old rampart]

is the gun mod in mod installer 2?

[real jacinth]

yes

[old rampart]

whats it called?

oh wait, hollow point

[hoary aspen]

only fair to assume that mods don't work on public beta?

[old rampart]

is the multiplayer mod on mod installer 2 and how do u set it up?

[modern knot]

alright so I made a separate file for cp hk, but the modding API is still directing itself to it. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

[real jacinth]

the api doesn't direct anything anywhere

so dunno what you're asking

[real jacinth]

yes. all mods are. and you just install the mods

[old rampart]

whats it called?

[real jacinth]

have you looked

[old rampart]

is it dream-shield co-op?

cos thats the only 1 i see

[real jacinth]

so you haven't looked

[old rampart]

i looked at the google doc

i cant find the read me

or is it multiplayer client?

or server

[modern knot]

I still see the API when I open the game is my issue.

[real jacinth]

so you have mods on that one

the one that's being run

which may not be the one you are wanting to run

especially if you didn't follow the multiple patches instructions

[modern knot]

thank you. I didnt realize there were instructions, I was just following what someone had said.

[charred jolt]

Hi sorry I'm back! I downloaded modinstaller2 for mac, my game is purchased from steam. Upon opening the modinstaller, it detects the hollow knight file path and I clicked yes. Then the list of mods appears. I'm trying to download the easymode mod so I check the install checkbox and that makes the enabled checkbox also checked.

When I open a new game file and go to the menu, there's no Mods option under the keyboard option. I was wondering if I did something wrong? Originally when I downloaded the modinstaller for windows (using bootcamp) I also had to check seanprcore to use easymode, but I don't see that option for mac. I see serecore and sfcore under the "S" options.

Also when I reopen the modinstaller, easymode is completely unchecked (enabled box and installed). Just wondering where I went wrong. Thank you!

[gloomy coral]

Check if modding API and mod common are downloaded

Also after clicking on installed wait a minute (60 seconds) before closing the installer

[charred jolt]

How do I check if modding API and mod common are downloaded? Are they separate from the modinstaller?

[gloomy coral]

Scroll down to m(it's arranged in alphabetical order) and see if both are installed enabled

If API isn't updated it will show on top. If it does click the orange box

[gloomy coral]

Seanprcore = serecore

[charred jolt]

Okay I found them! I checked the box for modcommon and modding API windows?

[gloomy coral]

Yes make sure both are installed and enabled

[charred jolt]

Is checking the installed box equivalent to it confirming that the mods downloaded or is there something else I should check?

[gloomy coral]

Just see if both have ticks on installed and enabled boxes

[charred jolt]

Okay great thank you! I'll wait a bit and then run the game to see

[gloomy coral]

After you open the game screenshot the main menu

[charred jolt]

When I go back to the modinstaller everything's unchecked again

[gloomy coral]

Was the game closed when you used the modinstaller?

And is the mod installer in the downloads folder?

[charred jolt]

The game was closed. The modinstaller is in the downloads folder of my mac. Should it be physically moved to hollow knight?

[gloomy coral]

Move the installer to desktop

Then close the game and try again

Download modding API, mod common, serecore and easy mod

[charred jolt]

Hmm that didn't work. I might try to uninstall and re-download

[gloomy coral]

Which modinstaller 2 did you use?

[charred jolt]

#archived-modding-help message this one from the pins

I tried to delete the modinstaller by going to verify integrity of game files, and it said verified

Does that mean that the modinstaller didn't point to hollow knight properly, as it didn't come up after the verification?

[real jacinth]

what

[gloomy coral]

Verify integrity of game files removes mods not the mod installer

[charred jolt]

ohh okay

[gloomy coral]

It didn't affect the installer in any way

Try resetting the installer by doing this

This

I haven't modded anything ever and wanna mod Hollow Knight, can I get some help

[clever summit]

I'm trying to use Hamachi to play multiplayer with a friend. We both have the mod installer, ModCommon, and multiplayer client. We both hit connect after correct ip4 address and port, and when we hit connect, w we don't show up.
Sorry for the wall of text.

[upper vault]

Hello! Does anyone here know how to use the Multiplayer Mod with Hamachi? When I tried it myself, it didn't work..

[upper vault]

Oh woah, we both have the same problem.

[real jacinth]

Connect with people in hamachi.
host: has server and client mods. connects first to their own IP
guest: has only client mod. connects second to the host's IP
IP being the IP listed in hamachi

[charred jolt]

Sorry, how would I get to ~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json? I tried viewing local files by right clicking properties then local files in steam, but the only thing showing up in the hollow knight folder is the icon to enter the itself?

[upper vault]

Thanks! Ill try this

[light rose]

If anyone wanna could help me, can you start DMing me it'd be much appreciated

[real jacinth]

no

check the pins

[light rose]

Your right

[real jacinth]

what's on my right

[gloomy coral]

Ask Google how to locate through Mac file system

[charred jolt]

Gotcha. I'll work on this for a bit, thank you for your help!

Can someone help

How can I use mods

I have windows 7

[frozen forge]

download the ModInstaller

[tacit crescent]

sorry to interrupt but, is there someone who knows about this modinstaller issue I have on linux (wine 5.0 for compatibility)

[regal verge]

Modinstaller one or two?

[frozen forge]

i'm using one

never used the 2nd one

[tacit crescent]

is there some other version?

nice

[regal verge]

Does it works on windows 7?

[frozen forge]

oh hey, that's me on the screenshot

[gloomy coral]

Check the pins for a window 7 mod installer

[tacit crescent]

I got the same error with the version on the channel description

[wide glade]

try using the version in my pinned message (top pin)

[tacit crescent]

nice, I just saw it

[regal verge]

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 what do I do with this link?

[tacit crescent]

it could very well be that

[wide glade]

click it and it takes you to another message w/ a file attached

[tacit crescent]

worked now, thanks a lot

[wide glade]

(note that installer has updates disabled, my pin will be unpinned when the main installer receives the fix)

[next bone]

Oh hey that's half of me in the screenshot

[tacit crescent]

oh no wonder it's looping

[regal verge]

the modinstaller is broken i think

its just a white screen and it says manually at the top

what do i do?

[wide glade]

follow the instructions to reset modinstaller in this message

[tacit crescent]

oh aight that can probably help me too

so by updates being disabled you meant the installer itself or the mods updating?

[wide glade]

the installer itself

[novel bronze]

hello

[wide glade]

the installer gets updated quite infrequently, but it's still probably better not to run the offline version once you get the option

[tacit crescent]

oh aight

[novel bronze]

guys please send a link to modinstaller

[tacit crescent]

https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe
for the normal one
#archived-modding-development message
for the windows 7 one/or other issues idk

[novel bronze]

thanks

[wide glade]

the issue is on operating systems that don't default to TLS1.2, so could be more than just win7, but most people we saw with the issue were on win7 so

[regal verge]

i cant enable the debug mod

it says unhandled exception has occurred in your application

now what do i do?

anybody?

jamie can u help pls?

[wide glade]

please be patient, people aren't doing this as their jobs, y'know

if you just press continue on the error dialog, does it go through

[regal verge]

nope it doesnt

it still says disable

[wide glade]

... so it's enabled?

make sure you also have modcommon enabled debugmod doesn't rely on modcommon, ignore me

[regal verge]

whats modcommon?

[wide glade]

its a mod that debugmod relies on to work

(and a lot of other mods)

[regal verge]

i cant install any mods

[wide glade]

where is the modinstaller executable placed

[regal verge]

uhhh how can i know?

[wide glade]

where do you run it from

[regal verge]

its in downloads

[wide glade]

alright, so try doing this

[regal verge]

i did it once

it fixed the first glitch

[wide glade]

do you have your game open currently

[regal verge]

no

[wide glade]

can you launch the game to see whether moddingapi is active

[regal verge]

wait hold up i think it got fixed

now it says enable except disable

can u tell me how i can use debug mod?

like what button do i need to press

[wide glade]

there should be a readme button next to DebugMod in the installer

[regal verge]

no i mean like do i need to press F1?

[wide glade]

yes

that shows the debug menu

[regal verge]

let me try

i pressed F1 but nothing happened

[wide glade]

can you screenshot your title screen

[regal verge]

uhhh how do u take screenshots on pc?

[wide glade]

print screen key

psc

[regal verge]

oh ok

u mean hk title screen?

[wide glade]

yes

[regal verge]

the title screen is the regular one

jamie

[gloomy coral]

There is nothing on top left?

[regal verge]

nope

[gloomy coral]

Not even modding api

[regal verge]

no

[digital coral]

I have the same issue with modding api not being in the top left (sometimes it prevents me from loading saves it says loading forever)

[gloomy coral]

If it is loading forever, go to save files and delete the 2 files with modding API in their name

[digital coral]

It worked after reinstalling ModInstaller, Maybe it's because I forgot to close the game before launching Modinstaller or the other way around

Thanks a lot for your help Jamie and Mulhima !

[earnest arrow]

Hey y'all, I'm trying to connect my ps4 controller to mac to play Hollow Knight but I'm running into some issues (and I think modding would be the place to ask about it). Basically whenever I connect my controller to my mac it won't work to play HK even though it worked perfectly fine a couple months ago, it still works on my pc, and I can play other games with my ps4 controller on my mac. I've used the stupid steam big picture mode and I was wondering if any mods could help this or even cause this since I have a fair bit of mods loaded. Also side question: why doesn't the fullscreen option in settings work?

[wide glade]

modding api breaks fullscreen option, if you want to run windowed I believe alt+enter works as a hotkey, though I'm not sure if thats the case on mac

no mods will help w/ input handling, your best bet is probably continuing w/ steam big picture or using something different like joytokey to convert game pad to keyboard inputs

[earnest arrow]

Any clues on why it works on my other pc and worked before but doesn't now?

[wide glade]

afaik mac gamepad handling is a little bit 🥴, it could simply be that macos updated breaking controller support, or steam decided to randomly stop working as it should

[earnest arrow]

It's weird that it works for every other game except for HK :(

[wide glade]

well if its of any consolation as a speedrunner i can absolutely say that HK's input handling is omega 🥴

[earnest arrow]

Thanks for your help

[novel bronze]

im having some trouble with the debug mod, ever since i tested the nail damage, where you can make your nail stronger and weaker , but when i done that, i dont know how to set my nail damage back to normal, uninstalling debug mod wont work, please help if you can

[wide glade]

if you still have debug mod installed: there are hotkeys to change nail damage, and the left side of the f1 menu shows nail damage. set your nail damage accordingly (5 + 4 x (number of upgrades))

if not, you can edit your save file to do the same calculation here: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

[novel bronze]

ill try it, thank you for helping 🙂

so if i had the 4th upgraded nail i would put 26 (17 x 1)

[wide glade]

21

5 + 4(4) = 5 + 16 = 21

[novel bronze]

oh god this hurts my head, right so it doesnt go to 21, its fine , im being too annoying , ill just stop

[wide glade]

nail 4 (pure nail) does 21 damage

[novel bronze]

mhm, but i cant increase my nail to 21, it goes up in 4's

soooo its broken, ok

[gloomy coral]

whats the value of your nail rn?

[limber egret]

You can fix by:

Downloading QoL mod
Opening your save and then closing HK again
Go to your save directory (type ?saves in this chat if you don't know where they are)
Find the JSON file named "User1" (or 2, 3, or 4 depending which slot you used)
Find "nailDamage" and set the number to 21
Save and close it

[novel bronze]

hello im back everyone calm down i fixed it , im sorry

really

i feel bad now

im sorry

[limber egret]

Dw

[novel bronze]

ok i wont worry

[stable moon]

I'm having a weird problem, perhaps one of you can help me. I'm trying to get the QoL mod to work, however, whenever I try to install it I get the attached error message. I'm running the steam version of HK on windows. I tried to install a random mod (Child of Light) and in that case the installation went through without a hitch. But for this (and Vasi) this exception appears. I tried reinstalling the mod manager, have verified the game files and also restarted my system several times, but this error message appears consistently every tim

[gloomy coral]

can you screenshot your main menu

[stable moon]

here you go

[gloomy coral]

does that only happen with QoL and Vasi?

[stable moon]

I haven't tried installing any of the other mods, but I can go through the list if that helps

[wide glade]

do you still have HK open when running modinstaller

[stable moon]

nope, its closed

ok so I have tried installing all mods up until 'Dream Shield coop', the exception appeared also for

ASCII camera
Charm Overhaul
Custom Knight
Frog Core
Hollow Point

I'll go through the remainder of the mods and update this list

Is there any way of manually installing the mods; I really only care about the ability to skip cutscenes

[vernal rain]

i don't think installing all mods will help

[stable moon]

I'm just checking which mods cause the exception. Maybe they all have something in common.

[gloomy coral]

you can download these manually from the drive

you can download it by extrating the file in the drive and then opening the folders until you get to Mods → Custom Knight. Then take the DoH folder from inside the custom knight folder

[stable moon]

I think I just managed to install it manually. still have no clue what caused the error but at least it seems to be working now

[split dune]

I installed 1.2.2.1 for speedrunning a couple weeks ago but now sometimes when I launch Hollow Knight in 1.2.2.1 I just get a black screen. Is there any solution for this?

[wheat orchid]

Is a controller plugged in

[split dune]

no I don't use controller

[wheat orchid]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gloomy coral]

ask in #speedrunning

[charred kraken]

so every time i open the game on my pc, it shows this, and it didnt show this until i downloaded the mod installer

i figured it would be best to ask here instead of in #hk-help because i assumed it would be related to the installer

[ivory aurora]

Is your modinstaller open while running the game?

Or anything similar

[charred kraken]

no

well it works now

[timber ivy]

For some reason i can't attack anything, when i try to attack breakable surface it doesn't break and enemies don't get red when i hit them, anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[vernal rain]

change nail damage to something above 0

[timber ivy]

with debug?

[vernal rain]

probably

[timber ivy]

thanks it helped

[dense trout]

im on linux. I don't know why, but when i install the mods via mod installer, my controller just no longer works for the game. it was working fine before i installed any mods. ANy ideas on what this issue could be?

[wheat orchid]

modding api for some reason messes with the compatibility of some controllers

[dense trout]

darn. ok

[novel bronze]

[wheat orchid]

?

(insert gender appropriate word here), this is modding-help

[dense trout]

i think hes asking why the modding api breaks controllers

[wheat orchid]

no one knows

[shy fable]

witch modinstailer should i download 1 or 2 i am using windows 10

[gloomy coral]

2

(but dont download the mac one)

[shy fable]

ok

[dusky rapids]

So there is no way to get past the controller issue? Would like to start speedrunning again but the downpatched version supports none of my 3 controllers

[wheat orchid]

programs like joy to key

Thank you

[wheat orchid]

[runic blaze]

Hiiiii

I am with a problem and idk how to solve it

I have the modcommon installed, the custom knight with some skins installed and i have the original hollow knight (and yeah I'm using the modinstaller), but even with that i can't use mods

This started when steam made me install hollow knight again

Idk what is happaening to my hollow knight but I am kinda angry for this

[real jacinth]

Screenshot your installer

[runic blaze]

Ok a

I can't take screenshots sorry aaaaaaa

[real jacinth]

Sure you can. Learn how. Also, press the button at the bottom that says enable all installed mods

[runic blaze]

Ohhh ok, but i think i have all my mods enabled, i mean, it say to disable so i think it should be working but I'm gonna try

I'm kinda scared because i can remember how one day my hollow knight started to working really bad for mods :(

My... my hollow knight just died now, the song don't sounds, i can't play and the mods seccion just make my hk practically crash

[real jacinth]

did it get to title screen or no

[runic blaze]

Wth this is so scary, the only achievement is a monomon's mask saying achievement title, and the description is achievement text aaaaa

Yeah i am in the title screen

Wait, what is a title screen, it's like the main menu?, sorry my English is not perfect :(

[real jacinth]

okay. so go to save files location and delete 2 files that say moddingapi.globalsettings

Hey, so I was trying to play multiplayer mod with a friend, we tried doing it by me sharing the game to him through steam, and I would play with steam in offline mode. however, he isnt able to install the modinstaller. It runs and it identifies the path, (we checked in the game files and the mods where there) but when he runs hollow knight, there is no sign of modinstaller or any mods at all (no text in the upper left corner, and no loading screen) do you know why this might happen?

(we're both on windows)

[wheat orchid]

either 1. they didn't install mods, or 2. try this https://discordapp.com/channels/283467363729408000/462200562620825600/813509924159488001

[tawdry citrus]

They did install mods, and in the save files location there are no such files

this is what they have

[wheat orchid]

then they didn't install mods

[wheat orchid]

are they using mod installer or mod installer 2

[tawdry citrus]

mod installer 2

[wheat orchid]

have them install the modding api

required for any mods to work

[tawdry citrus]

it says modding api is enabled, but it says out of date

wait

[wheat orchid]

click out of date to update it

[tawdry citrus]

oh wait yeah

It was just taking some time so I thought that the button did nothing lol

thank you

so does the other person have the server mod too?

Connect with people in hamachi.
host: has server and client mods. connects first to their own IP
guest: has only client mod. connects second to the host's IP
IP being the IP listed in hamachi

[tawdry citrus]

Ohhhhh

im dumb

[earnest arrow]

For mod installer 2 on Mac is there anyway to completely turn off mods, I went in and turned off all the mods but it still displays a bunch of mods I never installed

[real jacinth]

uncheck enabled on modding api

[earnest arrow]

It is but it still has it on the top left and I can’t change the window size

Is there anything else since every box is unchecked

[real jacinth]

did you do all that with the game closed

[earnest arrow]

Yeah

An odd thing though is that in order to uncheck the enabled box I have to uncheck installed since if I just try to uncheck enabled it crashes modinstaller2

[real jacinth]

another option is to just verify your game files

steam -> right click game -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity

[novel bronze]

Im trying to get a custom skin but it wont work, I select the skin but it stays as the default one

[real jacinth]

then your file structure is wrong, or you're missing modcommon

[earnest arrow]

If I verify will I no longer be able to get achievements?

[real jacinth]

what

you can get achievements even with mods on

steam doesn't care

[earnest arrow]

That’s what I thought I just didn’t want to fuck anything up

[real jacinth]

it's achievements, who cares

[earnest arrow]

Fair point

I came to realize that one of these mods is disabling my controller and I’m kinda pissed since I think it’s modding api

[west bane]

use joy2key

[earnest arrow]

I’m on mac but my controller works on my modded HK on pc

[flat sail]

i need help i have a technical issue with hollow knight modding

so i'm using this mod called "custom knight" and for some reason it causes my game to have much more input lag than it should

like when i press the jump button it takes nearly half a second for it to register

is there any fix to this

[ornate ember]

anyone know where the preferences save file is ? that saves settings such as window resolution, sound volume, etc

[versed ledge]

Now, I don't know if I'm alone with this, but when I try to install the modinstaller and open the game, my saves will appear invisible and I am not able to open them. Furthermore, when I try to revert back to unmodded, it gives me a "modinstaller not able to locate vanilla Hollow Knight" message and the only way that I am able to revert back to unmodded is if I verify the integrity of game file or uninstall and reinstall the game. I've tried nearly every option I could think of, but none of them worked for me. If someone could help me with this, that would be great.

[spring bane]

go to your save files, delete all files with "moddingapi.globalsettings" in the name

saves

?saves

...search ?saves in here to find the message the bot is supposed to send

[versed ledge]

?saves

[flat sail]

the search bar is in the top right i think

@spring bane could you please help me with my issue if you can

if you can't that's okay

[wheat orchid]

Dyno down again?

[versed ledge]

Alright, I got it to work, thank you so much!

[spring bane]

i have no idea how to fix your issue, you could try changing some settings

[flat sail]

okay how do i change settings

oh you mean hollow knight in game settings

[spring bane]

as in, in the settings menu

[flat sail]

okay thanks

i turned vsync off and it seemed to have fixed the issue

thanks

[signal flame]

i need to know where the sprite file is plz, its for a skin

[woven herald]

I just downloaded the mod and its really effecting the physics in the game. I just had a stalactite fall and bounce off the ground back into me. Is this normal or have i missed something?

[novel bronze]

I installed the hollow point mod, but the gun is actually uselsess. it's fire rate is like once every 5 seconds and it doesn't shoot

it just plays the animation but nothing comes out

[wheat orchid]

I assume you are starting a new save: pause, save and quit, exit the game, start the game, load the save

[novel bronze]

ty ill try it

[limber egret]

It depends on what mod you downloaded

[warped helm]

if i've modded the game in the past, how can i make sure that my files are completely reset to base game? my game crashes whenever i quit to menu and nothing i've tried seems to fix it (including completely uninstalling it), and now i can't mod it at all b/c that makes it crash during startup.

[ornate ember]

fresh install

[limber egret]

Right click on the installation on Steam or GoG, and find "verify integrity of game files"

[warped helm]

i've also done that. multiple times. it hasn't done anything.

[woven herald]

Lets see ive got...bench warp, QoL, Randomizer 3, RNG, serecore, and vaai. Thats it

[limber egret]

What does RNG do?

[ornate ember]

anyone know how I can fix this spacing issue with DebugMod?

[woven herald]

I have no idea....lets try disabling that...

[ornate ember]

disabling the mod?

[woven herald]

sorry im dealing with my own issues

[ornate ember]

ah okay

[warped helm]

are there any options to reset my files besides uninstall/reinstall or verify file integrity? i've done both of those and my game still crashes.

[woven herald]

Im am idiot. Turn out the rng mod is just utter chaos.

[steel river]

I have a question, or more like just confirming. using the mod installer stop steam achievements right?

[torn cipher]

No I don’t think so

[steel river]

Really?

[torn cipher]

I’ve still got achievements after I started using mod installer

Maybe that was a fluke though

[steel river]

with the mods enabled? because that health bar looks tasty

lmao

[pliant lantern]

Mod Installer does not stop Steam Achievements, but it does stop GOG achievements

[torn cipher]

What is GOG?

[steel river]

gog is like steam

but worse

[torn cipher]

Oh different platform

Ok

[warped helm]

it's another digital distributor, but their main thing is that all their games have no drm.

[rocky pulsar]

what is a drm again

i forgot

[warped helm]

like how steam games can only play on steam

that sort of thing

it's short for digital rights management

[rocky pulsar]

oh yeah

[torn cipher]

So you buy a game on it and you can still play it without using gog?

[pliant lantern]

I mean, I definitely wouldn't say worse. The Galaxy client isn't great, but it does allow import of all game libraries from any other launchers, which is pretty nifty.
And yeah, they support DRM free games, so you can play a game and not worry about no longer being able to access it if the company dies.
They also put effort into patching old games, so that they work on modern computers.

[rocky pulsar]

wait is hk on itch io or am i stupid

[warped helm]

it is not

[rocky pulsar]

ok i am stupid

but itchio is a nice site

[novel bronze]

Why wont custom skins work? I put the skin in the CustomKnight folder but it doesn't work

[real jacinth]

because you did it wrong

[novel bronze]

thanks alot

you're so useless

[real jacinth]

maybe give some information then

"car doesn't work. Why doesn't it work?" is impossible to help with

[novel bronze]

what do you want me to say?

I put the skin folder in the custom knight folder

It appears in game but when I select it it just puts on the default skin

[real jacinth]

plus, I already responded to you earlier

and you didn't respond back

#archived-modding-help message

[limber egret]

You have provided more information without anybody providing direction, so you could've done that from the start

[novel bronze]

the modcommon is there

[open thunder]

Hello I am needing some help with mods as I have played up to hornet with mods then when I came back on the next day hollow knight's save files wouldn't load

Go to the save file location and delete the 2 files with modding API in its name

[grizzled copper]

[gloomy coral]

Do this

Hello. Me and a friend are having trouble with the multiplayer mod. We got hamachi up, I connected to him and we both entered his IP but it's not working. Any tips?

A: Does only one person have the Server mod?

B: Did that person make sure that they connected to their IP first

[storm blade]

Hi there. I am having some issues with the Hollow Twitch mod. I was able to install the mod and it works fine for the most part, but certain commands don't work, like "!heal". I was referencing this list for the commands: https://pastebin.com/SNJXpqRZ. Is anyone else having a similar issue that can provide some assistance or have a more recent list?

[silver prawn]

bruh I can't even get the twitch mod to open properly

[real jacinth]

you don't have modcommon

[silver prawn]

whaaa?

[real jacinth]

[silver prawn]

[rustic cliff]
