There’s both a windows and Mac ver in the pins

#

How tf do I install impossible mod?

#

Someone needs to add it to the mod manager

gloomy coral
#

Follow fireborns guide

brave owl
#

The only guide I can find of his is the tech guide he linked, which doesn't help. I have the files downloaded, I just can't figure out how to make them work. Do I need to keep the mod zipped or something?

gloomy coral
brave owl
#

When I follow his links, I dont get anything called decorationmanster.dll, I get Hollowknight.decoration-0.40

#

and installing it does nothing

shy fable
#

what button to turn page in more saves

wide glade
brave owl
#

found the issue, I had downloaded the source code instead of the dll at the very beginning, then forgot there had been more than one thing there. Looked everywhere else for the problem, lol.

novel bronze
#

So the pinned message says to delete the "modinstaller" thing in %appdata% if it says it can't find Hollow Knight, well when I try that, %appdata% has no modinstaller file... I have no idea what to do, I already tried and deleted modinstaller and reinstalled it and its still the same, help

wide glade
#

it's not in %appdata%

novel bronze
#

Pinned message says it is or something

wide glade
#

copy this into the address bar %appdata%\..\Local

#

%appdata% points to roaming, not local

novel bronze
#

Ooh

#

Ah thanks
Another problem that could have been solved if I wasn't an absolute idiot

golden hornet
#

#

and use

#

mods

limber egret
#

Check the pins

drifting orchid
#

why are they so big wtf

supple wing
#

so in debug mod how do i reset the nail damage back to default? cause im not sure if i have the default one

wheat orchid
#

Can’t, you just increase or decrease

supple wing
#

is there some sort of hp bar mod so i can test it then

spice bramble
#

Yes there is, it doesn't display the number of hp though. You can get the hp bar mod with mod installer.

#

How do you download impossible mod?

slate fossil
#

am i not able to use enemy rando with item rando?

#

nvm

#

enemy rando apparently didn't download

fair briar
# spice bramble How do you download impossible mod?

Here's my guide on installing and using the DecorationMaster Mod, a mod which lets you both customize levels and play other people's customized levels! Credits to Sawyer and shoutouts to 56.

DOWNLOADS:

https://github.com/a2659802/HollowKnight.Decoration/releases
Under "Assets", download DecorationMaster.dll.

https://radiance.host/mods/ModInst...

▶ Play video
spice bramble
#

I have downloaded it already, however, it is a zip instead of a dll file and doesn't work. In the description, it says "under assets, download DeccorationMaster.dll" but I can't even find the assets, and can't find DecorationMaster.dll

fair briar
#

unzip it

#

using 7zip or winrar

#

or smth

#

or just use the modinstaller

spice bramble
#

I have installed it using mod installer, but I can't even find the hollow knight data folder as shown in the video even after opening the game.

fair briar
#

where did you download the game

spice bramble
#

steam

fair briar
#

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

spice bramble
#

k so I've followed the instructions, and the problem seems to be that the mod has to be a dll file, but it isn't a dll file and I don't know how to fix that.

fair briar
#

ok first

#

do you have modinstaller

#

if not, do you have tje zip file

spice bramble
#

I have both

fair briar
#

hmm

#

ok on the modinstaller download decorationmaster and weavercore

spice bramble
#

ok

fair briar
#

then run the game

#

say when done

spice bramble
#

done

fair briar
#

then close the game

spice bramble
#

already done that

fleet walrus
#

i tried to play multiplayer with my friend and i used hamachi we restarted the game twice and still dindt work

fair briar
#

and there look for a folder named: DecorationMasterData

fleet walrus
#

does having another mods effect it if we both have the same mods?

fair briar
fleet walrus
#

we both have the same mods but he doesnt have multiplayer server

fair briar
#

did you wach this:

fleet walrus
#

this is the mods that he has

fleet walrus
fair briar
spice bramble
#

the dll file isn't even in my mods

#

so the mod isn't there and the file didn't show up

fair briar
fair briar

"Step 4:

We go to Hollow Knight, select the save in which you will play with your friends. Open the menu, enter your IPv4 from hamachi and name. Click connect. Thus, we connect to ourselves, or if in another way, we create a local server.

The most important thing is not to sit on a bench when someone connects to you or when you open a server."

fleet walrus
#

oh

fair briar
gloomy coral
#

@spice bramble I'm pretty sure you downloaded the wrong file

novel bronze
#

So uh after installing the modinstaller, and any mods, and then when I turn Hollow Knight on, the game is bugged, like, there's no music, my save files aren't there, I can't do anything, help

spice bramble
#

ok

novel bronze
#

Any mod at all

#

The modinstaller in general, not mods, modinstaller

fair briar
#

go to saves and delete

#

ModdingApi.GlobalSettings

#

and other files with that name

gloomy coral
#

Don't click on source code

#

To get these options click on assets

novel bronze
#

Tbh, I have no idea where the "saves" are

Hello I am new and I want to install a mod in Hollow Knight and I do not know what it is called "EnemyHPBar" and I have the Mod Manager I press "Install" I open the game and the mod does not appear.

west bane
#

What modinstaller did you get. 1 or 2.

#

It'll say in the name of it's 2

flint shale
#

you say the version?

#

V8.5.2?

craggy narwhal
#

Howdy. Can't seem to get a controller to work with mods. Works with the keyboard, Controller works without ModInstaller. Tried keeping it unplugged until Title Screen, no luck. On Mac 10.15.4, bought thru Steam, using Sony DS4

Is it normal to experience the below after installing Mods API only with Custom Knight enabled?

  • 1-3 frames input lag (keyboard)
  • can't switch display mode to windowed
  • can't change screen resolution

@west bane

real jacinth

that is an old version

#

where did you download it

flint shale
#

o

#

Nexusmods

west bane
#

yeah dont grab from there

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
west bane
#

grab that one

flint shale
#

yes

#

a

flint shale
#

8.6.0

#

Srry

#

i cant

#

enable

#

first i need to install to enable

wheat orchid
#

no

#

at the bottom of the installer

#

s there a button that says "Enable all installed mods"

real jacinth
flint shale
real jacinth
#

this is the button Someone is talking about

#

it either says this, or enable all installed mods

#

if it says "revert to unmodded" then you're good

#

if it says enable all mods, press it so it says revert to unmodded

flint shale
#

I'm practicing my English, I'm sorry

#

I already press the button and I have the new version

real jacinth
#

okay then everything should work

#

also, you should get rid of art mods, unless you like playing without being able to read

flint shale
#

Ok thanks I had no idea what the mod was doing

real jacinth
#

you can click the readme button to read what they do

flint shale
#

yes .. I saw that some have an installation text like the one I want to install "EnemyHPBar"

flint shale
#

for following the installation the game crashed..

wheat orchid
#

is a controller plugged in

flint shale
#

?

wheat orchid
#

I'm asking if a controller is plugged in

wheat orchid
flint shale
#

yes

#

If I have a Controller connected

#

Does it mean I can't play without a controller connected?

real jacinth
#

no

#

they just asked a simple question

flint shale
#

oh

#

ok

real jacinth
#

when is your game crashing

#

what do you see exactly

flint shale
#

I am copying my data as it got corrupted

real jacinth
#

what

flint shale
#

in step 4) Enter the hollow_knight_Data folder, enter the Managed folder, and paste the contents
of the zip file (Assembly-CSharp.dll and Assembly-CSharp.xml) into said Managed folder.
(Path: Hollow Knight \ hollow_knight_Data \ Managed -paste those in this folder)
I do that but when I do it and open the game it crashes and my files get corrupted for some reason and I can't start

real jacinth
#

why are you d oing that

flint shale
#

On mod installation

real jacinth
#

just click buttons on the installer

#

that's it

wheat orchid
#

bruh

flint shale
#

but I don't get the "Bars"

real jacinth
#

yes. because you're doing weird shit

#

and you overwrote what the installer was doing

#

with something probably outdated

wheat orchid
#

we have no idea what could be wrong with what you did

#

so to reset the game's files(not save files): go to steam, right click hollow knight, cick properties, click local files, click verify integrity of local files

flint shale
#

I had already done that simply hit the button but nothing happened and then I heard that in a video that I don't remember that I had to click on "readme" and do the installation and if I want extra info about the mod since it said that some mods need to be installed

#

I already have the manual backup

wheat orchid
real jacinth
#

"but nothing happened"

#

you were also on an old installer

flint shale
real jacinth
#

from a site we don't support

wheat orchid
real jacinth
#

so basically, you need to start the whole process over

wheat orchid
#

yeah

#

do what I said, run the installer

real jacinth
#

set your game to vanilla, then run the new installer you got

wheat orchid
#

ima go now

real jacinth
#

did you push the installer update to live?

#

I see the PR was accepted

wheat orchid
#

apparently I edited the wrong thing since I had to change other things after building

real jacinth
#

lol

wheat orchid
#

I'll push

real jacinth
#

I just opened mine up to check since I saw what was in the dev chat

#

and no update to it. lol

wheat orchid
#

lol

#

just changing all text with enable all installed mods to enable modding api

real jacinth
#

just don't break auto updating....

wheat orchid
#

?

real jacinth
#

like what happened in october

wheat orchid
#

I only touched those strings, nothing else

real jacinth
#

yeah, I'm sure it's fine.

quartz orchid

hey guys, been a long time since i last played hollow knight and trying to hop back into it. I have the game modded but cannot find the mod application to start the game and it's been awhile. Will the mods activate if i run the game normally? or what am i looking for?

haughty edge
#

Does anyone have the link from the mod installer to Windows 7? the mod installer just gives me the option to install mods manually

limber egret
quartz orchid
#

thanks tami. and where do i go to add/remove mods? i feel like i remember this tiny window that used to run alongside the game

west bane
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
west bane
#

for both novekye and filha

#

just make sure you don't lose it

quartz orchid
#

appreciate it. i already have it installed though and believe i have lost it >.>. haha sorry bout that. was pouring through my files and cannot for the life of me find it

#

i did see my mods when i booted up though

limber egret
#

You can just search your computer for modinstaller

#

You also might have gotten rid of it. Deleting mod installer wouldn't turn off your mods

quartz orchid
#

aaah okay. thank you! i searched for mod and then poured through all my game files and it never came up. the full name got it though.

west bane
#

you can still get another installer it should see all the mods you have installed

quartz orchid
#

i got it. thank you both so much for your help! started watching the vtuber ina'nis start her playthrough of hollow knight and i always get an itch to play a game again if i see someone else playing it haha.

#

ill have to remember what i was doing last in the game haha. seems i left this playthrough off at the city of black tears with most of the map uncovered.

jade ermine
#

ive been having some problems recently related to HollowPoint. after installing it i got the focus bug that it states in its readme. After creating a backup of the game, someone here helped me with finding it and putting it into bloodorca (a save file editing site) where i can change the soul value of a focus from 9 back to the normal 33. But i cant save these changes for some reason and need some help

#

for reference, the download encrypted button at the bottom leads me to photodirector 10, which says it cant open the file because its not supported

west bane
#

you can try this method

- 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

vestal otter
#

so I've got my custom sprites into Spritepacker and they seem to be working as intended, but when I go to the original atlas and check it doesn't seem to register that there are modified sprites

#

as such I can't get my sprites to show up in game, and I'd like to be able to do that so I know what I'm doing is working

spring bane
#

so when you run spritepacker and pack the sprites, the Gen_[spritesheetname] that it makes doesn't have the modified sprites?

#

do you have a SpriteInfo.json in your atlases folder? I think something like that happened to me when that was missing

vestal otter
#

I don't think that the generated atlas has the modified sprite, and I'm not seeing a spriteinfo.json in my atlas folder

#

it also doesn't say that sprites have been modified when I click check in Spritepacker either

spring bane
#

which spritesheet?

vestal otter
#

the knight sprite sheet, I'm attempting to replace the running animation

spring bane
vestal otter
#

ah, I was looking at the wrong spot, yeah it's working

Hey

wide glade
#

if you have the game installed in a separate location to the default steam library, select the .../Hollow Knight folder (the one that contains hollow_knight.exe)

simple stone
#

i just want a skin mod and guns

#

ohh!

#

i just have it in steam library

#

i think its on my desktop

#

yes i do

real jacinth
#

that's a shortcut

#

not your game

wide glade
#

right click on hollow knight in steam

simple stone
#

oh well yeah true

#

mhm

wide glade
#

select properties > local files > browse local files

simple stone
#

this good right

wide glade
#

yeah so its a separate library

#

now when modinstaller asks for a folder, point to that folder

simple stone
#

Okay

hazy mica
#

The modinstaller is saying I installed the Modcommon and Multiplayer Client, but I don't think it downloaded

simple stone
hazy mica
#

I'm on Mac

simple stone
#

I tried this before

#

and pointed to i think somewhere else

#

how do I make it redirect there

spring bane
#

in the pins, there are instructions on how to reset the installer - do that

spring bane
#

oh, that was for viderchia, idk for your thing

hazy mica
#

wheat orchid
hazy mica
wheat orchid
hazy mica
#

No, keyboard

spring bane
#

game files arent in appdata, but yeah what someone said

wheat orchid
# hazy mica No, keyboard

Go to your save files path and delete all files with ModdingApi in their name. If none exist, you didn’t install the ModdingApi in the installer

simple stone
#

also sorry, but what do i point the modloader to SPECIFICALLY?

wheat orchid
#

The folder called Hollow Knight

fireb0rn has some skin showcase videos, other than that download em ig

simple stone
#

sad

#

hey

#

im watching fireb0rns video on downloading skins

#

and I used this for downloading laural knight skin

#

and its like this, not jsut a single file

#

do i extract into a filke

#

and if so what do i call it

simple stone
#

I need help, does anyone know what to do?

#

also as a followup, I tried just making a new file, naming it 'Laural Knight by Raistly' and just playing

#

and it started loading mods, then crashed.

echo cape
#

i downloaded a mod that messed with all my languages are messed up

#

any help with that? xd

#

when set to english its just a bunch of characters i cant read

rocky pulsar
# simple stone

extract the file and COPY all the PNG images and put them on steamapps > common > hollow knight > hollow knight data > managed > mods > custom knight and make a folder and PASTE all the images inside the new folder

#

it should look like this

echo cape
#

simple stone
#

tryin now

rocky pulsar
echo cape
#

it came installed when i downloaded the thing off the link

#

that screws the language?

rocky pulsar
#

what mod did you install anyways?

echo cape
#

HP bars

simple stone
#

this good?

rocky pulsar
#

that should be correct

simple stone
#

attempting to run

rocky pulsar
#

heads up there are 2 types of skins in laurel knight like different HUDS and ORBs and the one that will take place will be the one with the correct names

#

if you wanna switch to orbfull2 or hud2, just rename them to orbfull and hud

I'm hopeful this is the right place to ask, but if I do something like debug to give double jump/etc, will that cause the infection to spread, or do the wings have to be retrieved from the boss room to cause it? Namely, curious how modding those kinds of things will impact it?

Hey everyone, New to the discord but i actually have a problem also with getting new skins for Hollow Knight to work. i downloaded custom knight. i downloaded the skins from fthe google doc fire listed. and loaded up my game. i tried the first skin and it worked. 2nd skin. worked! but when i clicked the 3rd skin i downloaded then nothing happened. then when i tried to switch back to a skin i have already downloaded it failed and everything is just white blocks

spring bane
#

You're missing modcommon, and/or your third skin folder is not formatted correctly, the files should have the same names as the default one

remote marten
#

whats modcommon?

#

i also didnt change any names or anything like that from when i extracted the folders into the mod folder

real jacinth
#

so look at them

#

make sure they match how the default skin folder is set up

#

and modcommon is on the installer

remote marten
#

oh. i have modcommon

#

ok. mightve fixed something. the folders i downloaded were folders inside folders. so i pulled those out and gonna retry

#

ok, nope. all still white boxes

spring bane
#

You sure you got modcommon?

remote marten
#

i double checked. it says its installed.

novel bronze
#

So I have the mod installer, what else do I need?

#

I am trying to use hollow point mod

slate knoll
#

Check its readme after that mod is installed? The program will have a button for the readme after installation.

so yeah, i have no idea what to do with this skins thing, if someone has any advice please @ me

Thats the exact video I followed. Didn't work

#

I did all of the steps. When I click a skinning game they are just all white boxes

pliant lantern
#

Most likely you didn't set up the skin folders correctly

remote marten

I unzipped them. Into the mods folder

Also, I just scrolled up and saw that they worked for a moment, and then stopped when you switched again

#

What other mods are you using?

#

Are you using Hollow Point, Light Bringer, or RedWing?

remote marten
#

just this. this is the first time ive ever modded hollow knight

#

so all i have is custom knight and modcommon from the installer

#

Well I just re started hollow knight And tried one more time and, even though I changed nothing. It now works

Huh, weird for it to not be released on the projects Github.

That explains why I couldn't see SereCore in the list.

real jacinth
#

why, when we host it somewhere else

#

the code is still up to date

#

PRs get pulled on it all the time

#

updating the releases page 273 times is.... a lot

slate knoll
#

It's just weird for the official project page to not host a compilation of the latest release.

real jacinth

latest release changes constantly

sage shoal
#

I found all the grubs and didnt get the charm from grubfather ._.

real jacinth
#

do you have the grub map

slate knoll
#

In any case the reason I had an out of date copy is because I was linked to it on The Nexus and from there I navigated to the projects Github with the expectation that the Releases page would have the latest version to download, a pretty sensible expectation I think.

real jacinth
#

well your expectation is not reality

#

sry

sage shoal
#

and grubfather is fat

#

like after he eats them

#

:|

real jacinth
#

What mods do you have

sage shoal
#

lets see

#

Debug menu, custom knight, and Randomizer 3 (but randomizer 3 is not part of this save)

real jacinth
#

Well that's probably why

#

Randomizer

#

Randomizer interrupts the processes for shops and things like the seer

And grub daddy

Hey guys ! I just bought the game on steam to install some mods (been playing on Switch until now), but I can't play with my controller with the mods enabled. I've seen it's a known issue, but is there a way I can fix it? I'm using a PS4 controller (that is actually recognized as an Xbox controller by the game, but the inputs aren't registered) connected via USB on a recent Mac (mini m1). I'm having the exact same problem on my old macbook pro from 2014 too.

wide glade
#

you may be able to use JoyToKey or similar to emulate keyboard inputs

#

Thanks, I'll try it out !

It actually works ! I just had to find a mac alternative to JoyToKey. I went for "Enjoyable" and everything's just fine, except some latency here and there. Still better than nothing tho 🙂 Thanks a lot

I know you found another solution already, but if the latency spikes are a common problem you're having, you may want to just try Stream's built-in version. I'm not 100% sure that it's a feature on mac, but I assume it is- if you enter Big Picture Mode, then you can select the game, and click something like "manage settings", and they're should be controller settings. You can force games to recognize the controller as an Xbox controller, as well as make key-bind adjustments if necessary.
The only catch to using Steam's is that you must have the controller plugged in before launching the game, but in some cases people have an issue where the modded game doesn't load of you start with a controller plugged in.

#

how exactly would i use transteans as an example, all i have is a dll file

#

(im on a mac)

use modinstaller2 to install mods

its much easier

you search it on github

you won't lose any achievements or anything

mods do not affect steam at all, you can still get achievements with mods on

slender sand
#

Oh thanks, I was worried

#

I will try then

#

only mod i'd warn against using on an existing save is hollow point, since it requires save editing to fix healing after uninstalling

Nothing more

So im trying out that hollowpoint mod(gun mod) and whenever I load up mod installer it says that the version is outdated every single time. When I finally managed to get the mod working, the gun would always turn into a shotgun and wouldn't deal any damage. I need help with this ASAP, I also bought my copy off of steam

if it turns into a shotgun try save and quitting and then reloading the save

#

dont close the game

None I just want to know how to activate that button

wheat orchid
#

Ever heard of clicking it

#

Kind of what buttons are for

#

Anyways I’m going to YouTube now

flint shale
#

the button does not appear

#

the "revert back to unmodded" button reverts back to unmodded

#

when you are unmodded it changes to "enable all installed mods"

#

bad wording, I know

flint shale
wide glade
#

do what it says

#

go to steam, right click > local files > verify integrity of game files

flint shale
#

ok

wide glade
#

that will uninstall modding api

flint shale
#

I do not know where it is

#

the "Modding API"

wide glade
#

OK just tell me what you are trying to do

flint shale
#

I already understood sorry

flint shale
wide glade
#

OK can you screenshot the title screen of the game

flint shale
#

yes, but complete?

wide glade
#

yes the whole title screen

flint shale
#

ok, the verification is over, I'm going to open the game

wide glade
#

before that, reopen modinstaller

flint shale
#

ok

wide glade
#

correct

#

now install and enable enemyhpbar and modcommon

flint shale
#

What does Modcommon do?

wide glade
#

it's a dependency mod used by many other mods

flint shale
#

is it like the minecraft forge as an example?

wide glade
#

no, that would be modding api

#

it's basically just something that needs to be there for other mods to work correctly

flint shale
#

ok I understand it perfectly and I already have it installed

#

now I open the game and send capture?

wide glade
#

yes

flint shale
#

ok one moment

wide glade
#

looks fine

flint shale
#

ok

#

I have a new part and it appears "mod" and I have nothing

wide glade
#

that's fine

#

open the game

#

that menu is only for mods that can be turned on and off

flint shale
#

oh

#

ok

#

The mod was not installed or it does not work, the enemy's life bar does not appear

wheat orchid
#

It works and is installed

#

Anyways back to YouTube

Is this a new save?

# flint shale I guess the Mod Manager would have to be updated

The "Mod Manager" is literally just a simple installer. It just has a list of files, can download them, and then moves them between two folders depending on if you enable or disable the mod.

If you're data is "corrupting", then I'd be almost more worried about your hardware, tbh.

Send a screenshot of the full path of your mod files

#

Like this:

#

Because if there's something odd about your path, then that could be the root of the issue

#

but it's hard to assess without actually seeing it lol

flint shale
#

ok

#

one moment

#

If you click the end of the box containing the path it'll change to a more traditional display which might be easier to fit in to a screenshot.

Has it had any other effects other then not working?

#

Cause when I have it I can't even pause anymore

flint shale

#

I srugged it off to be a compatability issue

flint shale
#

I guess you have to update the mod

#

it has to be updated*

I'm having a problem uninstalling mods from the mod installer. Whenever I uninstall a mod, modinstaller says they're uninstalled, but they come back immediately next time I open up modinstaller.

Huh, when someone put something else in their Google Drive trash I was given the option to make a copy but it seems that option isn't available in this case.

I've got a question about how game crashes affect the mod installer, I asked this on reddit but couldn't get a reply. This is what I posted on reddit:
So, I've been using the Mod Installer for a long time. Recently, my computer crashed while playing. I opened it back up and instantly noticed that on the top left corner, there were no mods listed. Not only the mods, but the Mod API too. I tried to disable all the mods and re-direct the mod download path but... I couldn't fix it. Did anyone experience this issue, and can help me?

I had mods like ModCommon, QoL, Benchwarp, and was doing a Steel Soul run that I was recording. The game turned Chinese/Japanese when I opened it and had to navigate the settings blindly to change it back.


After posting this, I did things like re-starting my computer, deleting and re-downloading the installer, but none of them worked.
Please @ or DM if you find a solution.

^ specifically, the Mods part is where the .dll files will be. If you "Disabled" and of them, then they'll be in the Disabled folder.

flint shale
#

I don't know what to say lol

spark wadi
#

Thanks for that path! Is there a specific settings file that modinstaller uses to know what mods should be installed across startups?

west bane
#

mods arent save dependent if thats what you mean

spark wadi
#

I'm referring how modinstaller knows what mods are installed when I close the modinstaller app and when I start it up again.

west bane
#

it just looks in mods folder / disabled

#

when you disable a mod it's the equivalent of going and dragging the .dll from mods to disabled

spark wadi
#

Gotcha! I understand now.

#

Thanks for the help! Mods cleaned out. 🙂

west bane
#

its an installer and a glorified file manager if that makes sense

flint shale
#

Uhh .. well I guess I'll have to wait right?

west bane
#

for?

flint shale

Another question: I'm having trouble loading enemy randomizer. The enemies in king's path are the same as they are in vanilla. Other mods like benchwarp, debug menu, and randomizer v3 seem to work.

west bane
#

the main menu should have a button thats caleld like [LOAD RANDOMIZER], does it have that?
