Did you preform step 4 of the EnemyHP Readme Charaymegamanx?

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)```
west bane
#

their main menu is correct

spark wadi
#

I do not see [LOAD RANDOMIZER] on the main menu.

#

Let me get a screenshot.

west bane
#

do you have modcommon

spark wadi
#

Yes

west bane
#

what about serecore

spark wadi
#

I only have modcommon and enemy randomizer installed.

#

I uninstalled all the others.

west bane
#

grab serecore

#

should alleviate your issue

spark wadi
#

ohhh

#

I see it! It was hidden in the top left corner.

#

ty for pointer!

flint shale
#

I returned

slate knoll
#

I got the EnemyHPBar working with these mods installed

slate knoll

See my last message Charay

slate knoll
#

You just need to install SereCore

flint shale
#

ok..

#

but why do other people work without that mod?

west bane
#

@vocal dock are your saves there

west bane
vocal dock
slate knoll
#

Those other people, can you screenshot what mods they have loaded Charay?

west bane
#

ok perfect actually

flint shale
west bane
#

scroll up to that dyno bot command, go to your save files, and then delete moddingapi.globalsettings.json and .bak, then launch game

flint shale
#

my mod manager list?

flint shale
#

ok one moment

west bane
slate knoll
#

I'm actually not sure what info Zallant is seeking... they should just need to install SereCore???

west bane
#

i already tested without serecore and it worked

#

something is incredibly fucky 🥴

vocal dock
#

Zaliant, I deleted the file you told me to delete, but none of my mods are still not there. Am I doing something wrong?

west bane
#

try yeeting your modinstaller

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
west bane
#

get htat one, you might have an outdated versio

#

and then perhaps re-download the mods?

vocal dock
#

Yea, I already went to the discord and got a new one before asking.

#

These two I deleted, still no mods.

west bane
#

moddingapi

#

not modcommon

vocal dock
#

oh no

west bane
#

will be these 2

vocal dock
#

Yea, I found them now.

#

Nope, still not working.

west bane
#

okay same folder

#

benchwarp.globalsettings.json and .bak

#

yeet those and launch again

vocal dock
#

Okay, It's working now. Thanks for the help Zaliant.

slate knoll
#

@flint shale any progress on following Zaliants advice?

uhh

#

I have my games

gloomy coral
#

Press win + r and then paste this

%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight

#

it takes you to save files

flint shale
#

oh

#

lol it was in that direction

#

now..

#

change to txt?

west bane
#

try just deleting them both and relaunching

#

get serecore on the installer as well

#

if that doesnt work try changing your resolution on top fo that

flint shale
#

oh ok

#

wish me luck lol

#

first i am going to test it without the serecore mod

#

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

pliant lantern
#

I didn't even know that Enemy HP Bar had a settings file. Interesting

flint shale
#

pog

#

now I will try in my advanced game if it works with bosses

pliant lantern
#

Zaliant knows all secret wisdoms

flint shale
#

N I C E

pliant lantern
flint shale
#

ok

#

Thank you very much for your help and have patience with me

vocal dock
#

can blackmoth redwing lightbringer and hollowpoint all be used together

#

or would it break things

flint shale
#

I really appreciate it

gloomy coral
#

from the hollow point read me

gloomy coral
#

vocal dock
#

thanks

pliant lantern
#

Realistically, you'll probably just get things overriding other things, possibly in unstable/unpredictable ways.

slate knoll
#

Neat, I was thinking there wasn't a way to scale the Enemy HP Bars as they were pretty hooje by default. Good to see the functionality exists in a configuration file.

vocal dock
#

do mods on the installer and mods on the drive have a difference? like, in the versions.

flint shale
#

I think it would be better to save this solution

gloomy coral
#

nope

slate knoll
#

@flint shale Did you edit the PNG image files? I edited them without changing the canvas size.

flint shale
#

no

#

do not modify the images

slate knoll
#

So you've opened EnemyHPBar.GlobalSettings.json with notepad and you changed the numbers and when you go to save the file you get an error? Or when you try to start the game?

flint shale
#

do not modify them

#

I just put the file back and I get the error do not modify anything that's why I say

slate knoll
#

When the error appears, press Ctrl C to copy it. Paste the error here.

flint shale
#

Null??

#

What

slate knoll
#

Screenshot the error

flint shale
#

one moment

flint shale
fair briar
#

Just screen it

flint shale
#

ok sent a white image

fair briar
#

Is that the error!?

flint shale
#

idk

#

the error is fixed when i delete the file lol

fair briar
#

He asked for a screen of the error not of the file

#

Just delete the 2 files and run the game

slate knoll
#

Ruttie, the error is because the game is trying to load a blank settings file.

flint shale
#

the error is that when I have the file the mod does not work and when I do not have it the mod works

slate knoll
#

Copy this in to the file Charay and save it:

  "fgScale": 0.5,
  "bgScale": 0.5,
  "mgScale": 0.5,
  "olScale": 0.5,
  "bossfgScale": 0.5,
  "bossbgScale": 0.5,
  "bossolScale": 0.5,
  "BoolValues": {},
  "FloatValues": {},
  "IntValues": {},
  "StringValues": {}
}```
fair briar
#

Why is it blank? :/

slate knoll
flint shale
#

I guess the file is linked to the mod .. can you copy your configuration ?

#

lol

#

ok

slate knoll
#

Now save it and try the game.

flint shale
#

LOLLL

#

Save the file and I get this XD

#

I sure saved it wrong lol

slate knoll
#

I dunno wtf you did lol.

fair briar
#

How can you "save it wrong" lol

gloomy coral
#

how about just leave the mod as it is and dont worry about how big the hp bar is

slate knoll
#

Just delete the file and play the game.

flint shale
#

Uhh

#

Ok ok i got it

#

lol

#

Work!

#

Although it looks small because of your configuration lol @slate knoll

slate knoll
#

I wonder if it's merely visually bugged due to font incompatibility or something in his Wordpad?

flint shale
#

if that was the case, the file has a link with the mod, that's why it wouldn't run...

slate knoll
#

Well, good to see you have it working!

flint shale
#

Yes :D

#

what was the default configuration? 1.0?

fair briar
#

Ye

flint shale
#

ok thx

#

I just changed it and the results are still the same

fair briar
#

if you want to reset it just delete the 2 files

flint shale
#

Solved.

#

thx

#

And thanks especially for you and for the command @slate knoll

fluid plover
#

does hollow point decrease your nail damage?

gloomy coral
#

yes

vocal dock
#

is BonFire truly broken

fair briar
#

Is there a way to give yourself inf. Geo or can you only give yourself a lot

gloomy coral
#

max is 9,999,999

fair briar
#

Ok

slate knoll
#

You could always use Cheat Engine or the 1997 Cheat-O-Matic program to set and lock your Geo to a high amount (the latter program being dead simple to use).

fair briar
#

Where can you get those things

gloomy coral
#

or just save edit to get that much geo

fair briar
#

Yeah also possibility

slate knoll
#

Cheat Engine should be the top result on Google Search

fair briar
#

I already hav avast lol (and i'm not dumb :) )

slate knoll
#

With Cheat-O-Matic you open the game and load your save file
choose the games process in Cheat-O-Matic
Enter your current amount of Geo
Go in to the game and collect/spend some geo
Enter your new current amount in to the program and click Search
Go in to the game and collect/spend some geo
Enter your new current amount in to the program and click Search
etc.

And if it narrows the value down to a single memory address it'll let you change/lock the value to whatever you want.

fair briar
#

Ok

while trying to manually install mods so i can play p6, i get this error.

#

Hi all, im looking to download the modding api for 1.2.2.1 but the google drive they are contained in is no longer available, any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

slate knoll
#

Is the game closed Nadva while installing mods?

rapid remnant
#

yes

slate knoll
#

What's the Details say?

rapid remnant
#

it's really long

slate knoll
#

Copy paste it in to a text file and upload the text file?

rapid remnant
#

could it be because i might have these mods installed already?

#

nope

rapid remnant
gloomy coral
#

maybe try using mod installer 2

rapid remnant

#

hey friends, for some reason my newest skin is not working properly, it just works in a frame (Running).

rapid remnant
#

great and now mod installer 1 returned to just now opening and running in the background

slate knoll
#

Why not try the latest mod installer? v8.6? It's linked to in the subject line of this channel.

rapid remnant
#

v8????

#

damn

#

it's the same as mod installer 1

slate knoll
#

@fair briar did you manage to edit your Geo?

fair briar
#

still haven't had time so i'll try later ok :)

rapid remnant
wide glade
#

close hollow Knight

rapid remnant
#

it's not open :(

#

i'll close steam

slate knoll
#

Check the Details pane in Task Manager to confirm it

wide glade
#

is weavercore.dll open in another file

rapid remnant
slate knoll
#

If there's any Installer still open that has installed weavercore.dll, close it.

slate knoll
#

Check here and see if Hollowknight.exe is listed

rapid remnant
#

i think i have weavercore already but it doesn't work for other mods that i don't have

rapid remnant
slate knoll
#

Okay well, try rebooting the computer?

rapid remnant
#

wait, i have an idea

#

it works

gloomy coral
# novel bronze hey friends, for some reason my newest skin is not working properly, it just wor...

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: ManagedModsCustom Knightfolder(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 KnightFolder → 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)

slate knoll
#

@rapid remnant What was the issue?

novel bronze
#

@gloomy coral Thx. I'll try to fix it.

rapid remnant
#

also the decoration master data folder won't show up?

gloomy coral
#

did you run the game after installing it?

rapid remnant
#

no

#

should i?

gloomy coral
#

yes

rapid remnant
#

ok

#

i ran it

#

but no mods are loaded?

#

did i do something wrong

silver yacht
#

Hey, does anyone know if there's a way of changing the size of timer mod, rather than just the positioning? right now it looks to be in a good position, but it looks huge lol

gloomy coral
rapid remnant
#

no

#

nothing does

#

how do i fix it?

#

i tried changing the installation path

gloomy coral
#

first verify integrity of steam files and then open mod installer and download all the mods again

gloomy coral
#

what was the previous path

rapid remnant
#

the same as the current one

gloomy coral
#

before that

rapid remnant
gloomy coral
#

click on enable all mods on mod installer

#

if that doesnt work then do the thing i said above

rapid remnant
#

too late

#

all files successfully validated

#

wait what

slate knoll
#

Now that everything is validated by Steam, open Mod Installer v8.6 and afaik it'll ask you to install the ModCommon components before displaying the list of mods you can use. Click yes to install ModCommon.

gloomy coral
gloomy coral
#

so now open mod installer and download all the mods you had previously

gloomy coral
rapid remnant
#

the enable/disable all does nothing

gloomy coral
#

i didn't get you

rapid remnant
#

it says that it enabled everything but it stays the same

#

some enabled and some disabled

wheat orchid
#

Hmm

wheat orchid
gloomy coral
#

enable all mods enables modding api

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

rapid remnant
#

ohhh

#

ok lemme try again

wheat orchid
#

(Could somebody update the mod installer people are downloading to the update I made that makes this clearer)

rapid remnant
#

okay, i'll do the rest of the installation by myself (until i get stuck again of course)

#

thank you!

#

umm what is that

wheat orchid
#

Decoration master

#

It’s just the license

#

Ignore it

gloomy coral
#

as long as there is no error in top left it should work

wheat orchid
#

Qol failed to load

#

Get the Vasi mod

#

Required for Qol to work

rapid remnant
#
  1. Put the Custom pantheon Json from the drive in the Saves folder.
    directory?
gloomy coral
#

no

#

open the mods folder. there should be a decoration master data folder over there

rapid remnant
#

yes

#

i already put the jsons there

gloomy coral
#

oh i misread

rapid remnant
#

but the last one is supposed to be there

#

yeah

fair briar
#

do i then press new search?

#

and try again?

gloomy coral
rapid remnant
#

thanks!

slate knoll
fair briar
#

ok

rapid remnant
#

should i replace it

gloomy coral
#

what is in the current one?

rapid remnant
#

idk

#

i just renamed it to backup

slate knoll
#

Hmmmm..... @fair briar I think it just doesn't work. Cheat-o-Matic is old so it doesn't work with all software. Cheat Engine will have considerably better compatibility but I'm not familiar with it besides using cheat packs other people have already made.

gloomy coral
#

Or just save edit

#

It's easier

balmy cove
#

how do i use the mod installer to install mods do i just need to tick the installed? box ?

gloomy coral
#

yes

#

click on the box and then wait for a minute

balmy cove
#

and if i untick it does it uninstall them?

gloomy coral
#

yes

balmy cove
#

and are there any mods I need to download first for other mods

wide glade
#

im not sure if modinstaller2 does it automatically, but in case it doesn't, most mods require Modcommon, and all mods require Modding Api (Windows)

balmy cove
#

thx

#

okay so don't hate me, but I played the game pirated first. I liked it so much that I bought it on steam and uninstalled my pirated version, yet when I launch the modinstaller it says I need to buy the game, can I fix this?

#

delete the pirated install and follow instructions to reset modinstaller

why

#

we wrote it

gloomy coral
novel bronze
real jacinth
#

the customknight.dll that the installer installs does not have charm changing support

remote swan

you need one of the ones that comes with the TWP skin packs

the downloads do still work

@minor fable sorry for the ping again, but I've ran into another problem and I'm not sure if I'm missing something here - the timer only starts when I quit out to the menu screen, the start trigger doesn't seem to work at all in-game

Once the time has started in the menu screen it seems the end trigger works fine though

#

hmm

#

are you using the latest version?

Yes, downloaded the latest release

and what version of the modding api

#

/what game version

Will they ever put the google drive mods folder back up, or will I need to use the EXE?

just use the installer

ehm, my controller wont work anymore in game

silver yacht
balmy cove
#

can i do anything to fix it

real jacinth

what controller

silver yacht
#

I also have debug mod and show hitboxes installed

minor fable
#

do you have output_log.txt

balmy cove
#

Im using a switch pro controller

minor fable
#

cause that will probably have the error

silver yacht
#

Lemme check

balmy cove
#

and in steam it works just fine but in hk it wont do anything

real jacinth
#

yes, the API changes input handling

silver yacht
real jacinth
#

you'll probably have to use a third party controller to keyboard input mapping program

wide glade
#

try using steam's built in controller support

minor fable
#

can also just dm it to me

#

idrc

balmy cove
real jacinth
#

not for mac

#

I only have experience with Joy2key

#

which is windows

#

could probably use Joystickmapper for mac though?

balmy cove
#

ok thx

real jacinth
#

Could also try adjusting controller settings in steam like Jamie said.

I dunno if people have gotten that to work though

Do you guys have a link to the google drive

gloomy coral

For?

pliant lantern
# gloomy coral it basically removes all mods from game

I know this is a very late response, but afaik, Stream verify only checks the the main game files- it doesn't actually look for extra files.
This means that it will fix the C Sharp Assembly file (modding api), because that one is different from how the vanilla one is supposed to be, but it doesn't delete any of the mod .dll files.

The reason it works for going back to vanilla is because the only thing you need to do to play vanilla, is reset the Assembly file.

stray geode
#

What are all the things that you need to get mods working?

gloomy coral
#

Download mod installer

#

Click install on the mods you want

#

Run the game

#

(and make sure game is closed when doing this)

real jacinth
#

and you need a Steam or GOG copy of hollow knight

stray geode
#

Are the mods already in the installer?

real jacinth
#

yes

vernal rain
#

technically yes and no, they can be downloaded directly through the modinstaller

odd bay
#

ok how do i play with the online function

real jacinth
#

HK has no native online function

odd bay
#

gloomy coral

#

don't reinstall the game

If you're on Windows, then you may want to use Mod Installer 1 instead. It's a little bit more intuitive.

#

@wheat orchid until the updated text version of ModInstaller is correctly being linked, do you have a link to it that I can use to paste?

It's been a long time since I personally used Hamachi, but my understanding of it was that it treated all ports as open. So as long as both players are using the same port, shouldn't it be fine? (Or does Multiplayer mod literally look for only that port, yet still allow you to "change" it?)

@rotund basin
Did you install any mods?

Also, close Mod Installer, and open it with Run As Administrator, just in case it's not writing correctly.

gloomy coral
#

and remove from downlaods folder

rotund basin
real jacinth
#

you believe?

#

what is installed on the installer

rotund basin
#

#

modcommon

#

and custom knight

real jacinth
#

did you click the enable all installed mods button

#

while game closed

rotund basin
#

yes

real jacinth
#

do you have any other mods

#

besides just modcommon and customknight

rotund basin
#

no

#

only those two

pliant lantern
#

Also click the Enable button on each of those two mods, if it's there.

real jacinth
#

screenshot your installer again, and your options menu in game

rotund basin
real jacinth
#

rotund basin
#

every time i open it

real jacinth
#

rotund basin
#

rotund basin
#

after i press it

#

when i reopen it

real jacinth
#

right click the game, properties -> local files -> verify game integrity

rotund basin
#

ok seems like this is gonna take a while

real jacinth
#

rotund basin
#

ye its already like 30%

real jacinth
#

after that's done. open the installer again. it should download the API

#

then you should be good to go

rotund basin
#

gloomy coral
#

rotund basin
#

real jacinth
#

rotund basin
#

real jacinth
#

rotund basin
#

didnt fix another one

real jacinth
#

rotund basin
#

but then made another problem

quick question

hidden plinth
#

So, I have a PS4 and my game is at 107%. I'd really like to use mods, but without jailbreaking the ps4 or anything like that. Is it possible?

real jacinth
#

no

velvet forum
#

you do this all day?

hidden plinth
#

There isn't a way to save it onto a UBS and mode the game save file?

real jacinth
#

while working, yea

hidden plinth
#

USB

real jacinth
#

no

#

you can edit saves. but console and PC saves are encrypted differently. and that's not modding your game

#

it'd be changing some data in your save

#

and that's it

hidden plinth
#

Dang. I guess I'll just buy it on Steam for my Mac, figure out how to get my PS4 controller to work on the Mac if I can, and try to use the mod installer from here. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. This is the first time I've ever tried to mod a game, but I love this game so much and some of the mods look like so much fun

novel bronze
#

someone said this is a mod issue
When I load up hollow knight there is no menu music and the files only say ''loading'' and don't do anything else

real jacinth
#

To fix your save files from saying "loading...", being blank, and/or no mod list appearing top left of title screen

  1. Go to saves location:

Windows:
Press [Windows key]+R to bring up the Run window. Copy the entire save path below and press okay.
Example: https://imgur.com/a/WjNmgP0
Save Files: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
Mac:
Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
Linux:
Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/
2) Delete all files that have "ModdingApi.GlobalSettings", "Benchwarp.GlobalSettings", and "Customknight.GlobalSettings" in their file name. (will be 6 total if you have benchwarp and customknight installed)

  1. Run the game.

its finally pinned shadeshades but that probably wont change anything as most people here wouldnt bother to check pins

do you think we're really trying to make you lose your game data

novel bronze
#

no but I'm just wondering

real jacinth
#

what data are you even asking about

#

the file name literally says API settings in it

novel bronze
#

save data

#

like my in-game progress

real jacinth
#

do you think that's in a file called API settings?

novel bronze
#

probably not

real jacinth
#

there you go

#

just don't delete like.... the whole folder or something

novel bronze
#

lmao

real jacinth
#

only delete the files I said to

novel bronze
#

I'm stupid

#

totally didn't take me 100 tabs and researching just to find it lol

#

these 2 right?

#

I downloaded the lightbringer mod, and with the lightbringer mod i had custom knight and when i tried to switch the skin it glitched. So when i tried to go on lightbringer mod again and start a new game i can't hit and i have the default skin

novel bronze
real jacinth
#

lightbringer's white cloak skin takes precedence over any customknight skin

novel bronze
#

mickely

#

it's these 2 files right

real jacinth
novel bronze
#

is that a yes or in a nutshell no

real jacinth
#

roll for reading comprehension check

novel bronze
#

you said I have to remove 2 files with moddingapi in the name

#

but I'm just trying to confirm if it's these or not

pliant lantern
#

You're answering your own question

novel bronze
#

I keep losing braincells everyday ok

#

I'll just take that as a yes and it's those files

#

I'll try running HK now

raven cosmos
#

anyone know where the white palace assets are?

#

I'm trying to see if I can add something onto decorationmaster

novel bronze
#

it's all fixed but all mods suddenly turned on from options lol

fallow pilot
raven cosmos
#

I mean like the file path

pliant lantern
#

To my understanding, HK's vanilla assets are all packed. You can't just directly go to a file full of them. That's why you have to use an asset extractor (like GoDump) to get them.

raven cosmos
#

I have unity assets bundle extractor

#

you're right

#

the problem is there's like 70 different asset files

Can someone help me figure out how to use custom knight? i downloaded a skin but i dont know what to do with it

Hello! Quick question. New to mods in HK but familiar with file systems will hopefully not waste your time. I'm trying to get ModInstaller to work on mac. I've tried the MonInstaller 2 for mac, but it does not seem to change any of the game files. I think that maybe the path to the hollow knight app is wrong, but I haven't found anyone in this channel say where ModInstaller2 stores that path?

I've also tried running ModInstaller using mono, but I get the issue that others mentioned in this channel where it loops, continually installing Modding API (which also doesn't seem to update files). Any thoughts? On current patch, purchased from steam, etc.

real jacinth
#

what mac version

wheat orchid
#

Did you install the ModdingApi when using mod installer 2?

lyric furnace
#

Mojave (10.14), a couple versions behind.

#

Thank you very much

I must save this and keep it somewhere

Why didn’t it get on the installer?

it's been posted here a couple times

shouldn't it be something similar to ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ ?

nvm

Make sure to add the windows one as well

So what are we gonna do about the drive

#

Remake everything?

once it finally loads (i have my doubts), maybe i'll download all of it and host it on my server temporarily?

What exactly happened again? From what I saw the drive is fine

they did a pretty terrible job of griefing the drive

safe canopy
#

the drive itself got moved into the trash

#

which means you cant read the drive, the files themselves still exist

#

Ah

#

Maybe we should have some backup system in case it happens again?

Mickely, while you're on a Pinning Rampage hollowpins maybe you can make a more formalized post of your Multiplayer Mod troubleshooting copy+paste, and pin that?

It would be nice to reference / link / quote whenever it comes up.

yeah fair point. I usually search that anyways and repost it

you are complaining that arts mods are working

you pinged the staff

wheat orchid

Why be patient when you can @ a bunch of people instead of one

if there was a way to disable the font part of the mod

real jacinth

for no reason

#

recode it

#

jeez, i only saw 6 people in modding staff, i had a question so figured that'd be the best place to ask :/ my bad
