Anyway back to YouTube
fuck you asshole
Bruh
?warn @tranquil oyster being disrespectful and using curse words against others
I can't find user @tranquil oyster.
They left lol
Wonder how they would have reacted if we explained we are doing this with our own free time though
Not being paid or anything

you've not been getting paid? 
Yeah, I mean, does it really count as payment if you’re stealing it
you're so far gone that you're paying the server to do this
hi guys, idk if this question belongs in this chat, but can the mod-installers be used on previous patches such as 1.2.2.1?
then could anyone tell me know where the api for installing mods on patch 1.2.2.1 for mac is? (I am trying to figure out how to set up debug for speedruns) The google drive link on fireborn's original video appears to be "deleted by the original owner," and I can't find a download link suitable for mac
thank you so much!!!
also does anyone know how to install mods using the api on a mac in GoG? Sorry this is so specific, I really accidentally choose all of the unpopular options and can't find any guides online 😅
maybe look around in folders in ~/Library/Application Support.
look for a hollow_knight.app file
I see the unity folder from team cherry with my four save files user.dat things, but I can't find a hollow_knight.app file
those are save file location
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
this is the path for steam so look for some GoG in the folder or something
the hollow_knight.app will be found in the game files location
I think I found the cloud sync backup for hollow knight on GoG, which is kind of like a save file location. (Still, I don't see a hollow_knight.app), what should I do?
Hi, anyone as decorative mod link?
which folders can you see in ~/Library/Application Support
I see GOG.com which leads to => Galaxy which includes four folders:!Temp
Applications
Configuration
plugins
try applications
hi sorry to ask but I couldn't find the infinite notches mod is it removed?
there are two folders inside
46899977096215655
49793783576384298
(are either of these related to hk?)
open both and see ig
if not then try configurations
I found a file named storage.db and a file called gameplay.db in folder 49793783576384298, is this the GOG version of hollow_knight.app or is there a file specifically named that?
configurations just lead to a .json file named configurations
now that I've downloaded decorative mod, how do I put it in my files ?
when you right click the .app you should see contents
see the zip file of the api I sent. the folder structure should be similar
see fireborns guide
do you know where the games file is located for mac on steam? maybe we can reverse engineer it that way
here
in fireborn video, the mod installer is in a specific file, while mine is just on the desktop 
Maybe you can use a program like alfred to search the file name "hollow_knight"
sorry for the constant bother
, but when I told my computer to go to the location, it brought me to this. I was wondering if the highlight thing is the .app file? cause if so, then my GOG one was simply downloaded to my applications folder
yee
this is the file you're looking for
right click on it and then click on contents
how did you "tell your computer"
on the top left corner of mac, select "go," and select "go to folder" in the drop down menu. Then type in the line you gave me and press enter
Edit: but this is for how to get to the location on steam, for GOG, when you install the game, you can choose where you want to put the .app file, and I guess people just have to remember where they put it
I don't think mac has a contents option tho...
at least not one where I can open the file into the format that the zip file was in when I unzipped it
oh wait nvm i see it
What options do you get when you right click it
Yes
yea
this is what I get on my screen
That exists
I think the zip file for the api opens as a data folder, so I'm guessing I should replace this original data folder with the api and add mods (dll. files) into it?
Are you using the mac ModInstaller 2?
If so you just need to tick the Installed? box
It'll find it
no I am trying to install mods on 1.2.2.1 patch, so I don't think I can use the ModInstaller
oh
I'm very new to modding, but I know a lot about macOS in general
so that will be why
Go to resources -> data -> managed and replace the 3 files there from the zip file I sent earlier
But make sure to keep the old files as backup
Cuz the files your pasting is the modding API while the old ones are the original game (which you need for runs)
Yiu can still use the installer
I'm on a mac
Modinstaller 2 works in mac
So...
there's no option to install
All of these mods?
Now just click on the installex box for the mods you want
Ok, I’m sorry to annoy everyone, but how do you reset the ‘Binds’ keys. I accidentally changed a couple trying to figure out how to get the first one I touched back and now I’m just clueless after uninstalling it and trying to YouTube videos
check the 3rd 
Ok
OMG it actually worked! Sry for the late response, I accidentally deleted some files and had to reinstall the game. But it's working now! Thank you so much Mulhima for guiding me through this process. I really appreciate your time and I hope you have a great night/day!
also i can make a semi-summary/walkthrough of this obscure way to install the mods onto a GOG mac if you want me to, boy was this a process
pls do
and like post it here and name is something like modding api for mac with gog
Okay I can do it and post it here in like half a day. it is 3 am for me and I have school tomorrow, so I gotta go sleep for now, but I will definitely do it first thing tomorrow
how do i do that?
from the game settings?
So, I followed the pin and deleted the debugmod.globalsetting and now custom knight won’t work 🙃
wdym custom knight doesnt work?
The skins show up in the left corner but when I click on them nothing happens to the Knight and they disappear
Heyo, got a quick question. How do you make impossible any% work?
do you have mod common downloaded?
look at fireborns video guide
on how to make decoration maste mod work
I watched his video to set everything up and it was working till after I messed with the global settings
The most common problems for custom knight not working are:
1. Modding API and/or Mod Common are not installed/enabled
2. Skins not put in the folder properly. It is supposed to be is: Managed → Mods → Custom Knight → older(with skin name) → the PNG files. If there are more folders in between this then it will not work. It has to only be Custom Knight → Folder → PNG File
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)
if it still doesnt work go to the installer and redownload custom knight
eye twitches some how I guess I disabled the mod comm when I deleted things??? Idk but it’s working now so thank you 💖
man QoL is such a good mod. remove all content from the game 
what other mods do you have?
reload the game maybe
I dont know if this is the right plasce to ask but Im using the item randomizer and I dont know how to open the dirtmouth stagway. Is that randomized too?
Managed to install the any% mod. Thank you. However, how do I make debug appear on my screen afterwards?
f1
Thank you so much
Hi! Does Hollow twitch work at the moment? I tried installing and configuring it yesterday and I can't manage to make it work
It should. For a little while it wasn't working with the newer version of Modding API, but I believe that that has since been resolved.
is the shape of gunn charm in hollow point mod supposed to let you heal?
nope
Mh. I'll try to nuke the mod and try to reinstall it...
I mean, I don't think you'd need to reinstall Hollow Twitch
+Incr range and acc.
from lil sealy
Did you install it using ModInstaller btw? (The one with the Zote head)
And like, what about it isn't working?
Well at any rate- if you configured it, then I'm assuming it loaded at least once and generated the settings file. You may need to post your ModLog.txt (or look through your startup messages from it) to see where there are errors.
Yup! I used ModInstaller! Both the .bak and the (json, iirc) files are there, with my datas. (Btw, is the channel name case sensitive?) But when writing in the twitch chat nothing happens...
Ah, the .txt file with the command list doesn't appear...
ModInstaller should have told you what dependencies it needs, but just to be sure, make sure you have ModCommon enabled
As far as other stuff goes, I haven't personally used that mod (as I don't stream on twitch), but the modlog file (find in your saves folder) should point out any other issues.
||also, I'm going to sleep now, so if I don't respond...
||
are the arcane eggs on birthplace and lifeblood core randomized ? I hope no bc if yes...
they are
can mc be there ?
lifeblood core does not seal itself shut in rando though, and only requires one lifeblood
mantis claw
yes claw can be at either of those eggs if you have access
yes
rando is incredibly good at not locking you out of things, it's been played a fair bit 
void heart does not change shade or sibling aggro in rando
(its also removable for some reason, though afaik that doesn't change anything)
thanks*
does the beta works with modinstaller2 ?
Mods don't work for beta
ok
is there a mod that i always have the compass/ see myself in the map without needing the charm?
You can save edit the charm to be 0 notches
but you can give yourself a notch
There also is an easy mode mod that does this and other stuff to make the game easier
It'd be nice if the mod readmes could be accessed online via the installer program, prior to installation.
I think it would be better to reduce the cost of compass rather than get an extra notch
There is a mod summaries
Yeah but the summaries don't explain everything about each mod.
How would you recommend that be added?
how do i do that?
in the game files?
debug mod
- https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- go to save files
- locate userX.dat (with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4)
- upload that to the website
- ctrl+f "charmCost_2"
- set the value to 0
- download encrypted (PC)
- rename it to the original name (will be downloaded as user1.dat, rename if you want slot 2, 3 or 4 to be edited)
- put it back to the save file folder
Host the txt/md files somewhere and change the Readme buttons in the Mod Installer in to URL's pointing to the files.
how do i get a mod from the Xbox app not steam
I... doubt the mods are compatible with the Microsoft Store/Xbox App releases.
Yea, You cannot download mods for Microsoft store version
It's only possible with steam or gog
i'm in the process of creating a new version of modinstaller actually, which includes a longer (~paragraph) description for each mod
might take a while for me to finish though, combination of all skills tourney and school make bulli 
Modinstaller 3 tease?
kind of, don't want to hype anything until i actually have something workable 🥴
Do you plan to include an updater for Mod Installer it self?

this will only change the map charm right?
the one where it tells me where i am
Pretty sure it'll only adjust the one charm.
thanks
if you don't want to save edit, i think i have a mod uploaded somewhere that changes charm cost of compas and gathering swarm to 0 without changing the save itself
Hello guys, I have a problem with mod hollow knight, as soon as I run the software my hollow knight does not work. Can you help me ?
Are you using a controller
What does that have to do with my question?
so no i don't think
Do you have a physical controller(ex: Xbox controller) plugged in or wirelessly connected
yes
Go to your save files path and delete all files with ModdingApi in their name

okayy i come back after i test this
okay for some weird reason when i try to mod the game it just doesnt wanna work with my ps2 controller (in linux, didnt had that problem while using windows)
no, since it significantly changes functionality and design (supporting multiple installed patches, allowing save file management etc) i decided to make it a standalone replacement for modinstaller. modinstaller will still continue to work, however
Unplug the controller until the main menu
didnt work
okay so now how can i install mod in hollow knight, because when i install a mod my save is loading again
Did you make sure to delete both files
Is there any mod that just allows you to create a godhome mode file without having to unlock every boss and beat p3? I'm way too lazy to do it on my computer and I just wanna be in godhome (Sorry if I'm interrupting the conversation in any way, just need a quick answer)
Heard of godseeker mode? Base game stuff
Is that where you were deleting files
I removed the moder file, right?
Is that where you deleted files or not
ow yes
Because that is not where I told you to go
I told you the SAVE files path IM DONE WITH PEOPLE GOING TO THE WRONG ONE
yes but i don't have after %appdata% loca1low '^'
Yeah, what I meant is if there's any mod that allows you to unlock godseeker mode early on without having to do everything, kinda too lazy to unlock godseeker mode on my computer (Finished the game 112% on switch though)
Get a safe file from somewhere
I know for a fact you have it
All windows 10 devices do
Have you heard of copy and pasting the path into file explorer
Anyway ima go work off my anger somewhere
Press win + r and then paste this:
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
bro i'm not realy good in english it's normal if i don't understand the all -_-
save file location^^
i go there but after idk what i safe and delete
I meant more along the lines of "from this point onwards it will automatically stay up to date", people would need to manually update to at least the first release of the new project to benefit from the auto-updater.
I told you to delete all files with ModdingApi
and the modcommon?
ModdingApi not modcommon
just this?
Just the two files with ModdingApi in their name
and after it's good ?
Yes
modinstaller already has an auto-updater, but again i'll keep mine separate. Will still auto-update of course 🙂
anyone who has better idea than unplug and wait until main menu for that issue? cuz that didnt work
reset the installer the instructions are in the pins
reset the installer?
yes
Is your issue that the controller doesn’t work or something else
controller doesnt work in hk
if someone can tell me what else do i need to supply i'd be happy to give that info
can i use debug mod to give myself dreamers?
Get a program like joy to key or another software that can map controller inputs to keyboard inputs
No
okay so now mod installer is open and i can play with ?
i am kinda soft locked cuz my items rando didnt give me any dreamers/lantern
Item rando won’t softlock
and i got every item i could

@wheat orchid @gloomy coral thank you so much for helping me ^^
(it's called randomizerhelperlog.txt)
rando 3 should be more or less incapable of locking you out of items
or at least it hasn't given me an uncompletable seed in the 500 or so hours i've played of it 
Install CustomKnight and modcommon and the ModdingApi and follow Fireb0rn’s tutorial on CustomKnight
click on installed box
so how do i install skins?

Watch Fireb0rn’s tutorial
Buy the game
Edit: I love how you deleted the message
Edit 2: it's even more amazing that you replied to this message to make it more obvious
@gloomy coral here's a guide I made for installing mods for GOG on mac based on the our conversation last night. Feel free to point out what else I need to add
lol
Edit: I love that u actually mentioned it

Can someone tell me how to download trial of pure masochist and where are the files?
Hi!
Where is the randomizer mod?
in the installer
But when i put in the game, isn't randomized
screenshot main menu
you have not enabled randomizer
download this, add in the mods folder
Thank you!
and then do this
Here's the .xml file text I used. Replace all the text in the created WaveSequence.xml file in the CustomTrial folder.
https://pastebin.com/70fuxRHH
are you using modinstaller
yes
screenshot the installer
now relaunch the game
...did you delete randomizer after it installed?
if you restart modinstaller it should recognise that it's gone
Now?
that now looks fine
ok thanks!
Best to navigate the setup screen with the mouse.
hey guys, I'm on windows 7, downloaded the latest modinstaller.exe and I'm getting this message when I try to run, then if I continue, modinstaller opens but has none of the mods loaded, any ideas what the issue is? HK is closed and everything
yeah that's the one I tried initially, just redownloaded but the same error came up
can you download .NET framework 4.7.2?
How come some of the custom knight skins ive downloaded dont work? Theyre all present in the list on the left but only 2 or 3 seem to work
show a screenshot of how you put your png files of the 1st skin
I followed the ReadMe and extracted them all from downloads at the same time to the custom knight folder
and also got them all from the same google drive folder
a screenshot would help
thanks Jamie, that worked!!
of the file explorer? @gloomy coral
Yes
Blood Knight works, Graig Knight works, Regal Knight works, and Cloak Template works. The rest do not.
If you are still having troubles, then in addition to the Helper Log, and/or Spoiler Log which are in the folder with your save files, there is also RandoMapMod, which will show you all available checks on the map. (It doesn't work with Multi world Rando though)
Open the folder of the skin that isn't working and send ss
Oh I think I see. The ones that work dont have a nested folder in them.
i have a really dumb question
ive installed debug mod through modinstaller but reviewing the readme doesnt tell me how to activate or use it...can someone tell me what key i need to press or whatnot to bring up the help ui?
how do i unhide the debug menu
f1
tysm
does F1 bring up the menu as well? its not working for me for some reason 😦
F1 brings up the Debug menu UI
you have to hit Start/pause in order to have a cursor tho
doh! i was trying in the main menu 😆 thank you
do they show up in the top left
yep
aaaa ok
can someone help me?
but how do i untoggle them?
you can disable them in modinstaller
aaa ok

@neon epoch
- Are you using the Steam version of HK?
- Are you using the regular ModInstaller, linked in the pins?
So i am new to the HK Mods and especially the randomizer. Is there a way to NOT randomize the Dreamer? When i click the option on the randomizer settings nothing happens.
And sorry if i've interrupted something
i found the steamapps folder and the common folder and the hollow knight folder, but they are not in the program files(X86), and when i select the Hollow Knight folder the modinstaller says "Invalid path"
nvm
i selected it again
and it worked
If your Steam games are installed somewhere else, then use that area lol
idk why it wasnt working[
The path in the message is just for default paths
Yeah, you can disable shuffling the Dreamers when making a new file
ty for the help
you can only untick the 4 top options if you have "Duplicate Major Items" disabled
TIL. I've literally only unticked the top ones after already unticking DMI, and didn't realize it wouldn't let you do it in the other order lol
Relatedly- Room Rando using only Vanilla checks is really fun. Although a lot of seeds seem to Crash rando when starting it 
It does't work for me. I unticked DMI and if i try to untick the Dreamers nothing happens. It just stays yellow
How do you make your own custom trial.
Do you mean Pantheon?
can you screenshot?
They don't crash rando - the problem is that generating a room rando with vanilla item placements is quite restrictive logically, so it takes several attempts. (As far as I know, the algorithm is a more clever version of "place the rooms, then check if the logic works, then reroll if it doesn't".) So if it crashes rando it's probably just that you need to wait a few (or maybe a lot?) more minutes. I don't really know how much time you should expect it to take though, congrats on getting it to generate a seed lmao
Huh, Discord did a weird to my message.
Anyway, Custom Pantheon stuff can be found here (the Drive Fireb0rn posted for Pantheon of Nightmares): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kkCe-VquNkVc9AXl3P-7PkC3F8WSknQO
Idk that I've seen something for Trials specifically though
Have you selected randomized start items? You also can't untick dreamers if you have random start items active
Ah. I considered it crashed because it took.... a lot of minutes. Like, I waited for over 5+ minutes the first time, under the assumption that it was just slow. And then the loading animation froze, so I decided that it probably crashed. But yeah, I have a seed that works for it, although it does take it about a minute of loading too lol.
Ah so that screwed it up. Thanks for helping 😄
where is the custom trials mod?
Just wondering
I'm making a custom trial
and I wanna test it
It is apparently here:
#modding-discussion message
@jovial grail @dim gate

Thanks!
so for skins I just download them from the google drive thingy and put them in the right place with mods installed?
umm yeah pretty much
also you may need to make a defalt skin folder out of the defalt assets for the mod
The Custom Knight mod should generate Default on it's own
Just make sure you run the mod first, which makes it create the folders you need. And make sure that you're placing the skin files exactly correctly. You can see how the Default skin is set up to double check. If you run into any issues, check out Fireb0rn's tutorial, which is linked in the pins 
is there a mod installer?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
Thanks for helping me find the custom trial editor. But I do not understand how I can play a trial I have created.
I'm trying to enable the emeny Randomizer mod along with the regular randomizer mod on top. However, when I boot up the game, there's no button to load the mod, and it's not even listed on my main screen modlist. Here's my screen modlist, minus the enemy randomizer mod
enable enemy randomizer from the modinstaller
It is
check
I'm not dumb, I've checked it multiple times
its not about being dumb
it doesnt show on the top left
so its not installed/enabled
Check if enabled in game options mods menu
Bingo thank you
#archived-modding-help message
Replace the text in the created WaveSequence.xml file in the CustomTrial folder from what you made.
@gloomy coral I replaced it but it doesn't work. Are you sure I don't have to replace any files from the game itself, just the one in the custom trial editor folder.
you have to download the custom trial mod (which is different from editor) and change the text from the xml file
So I use the editor to make a file. Then add that file to the custom trial mod.
And the custom trial mod has to be in the mods folder in the hollow knight folder on my pc.
Then add that file to the xml file custom trial mod.
not
Then add that file to the custom trial mod.
yee
@gloomy coral Thanks for helping. I'll try this.
like it works based on the things wriiten in the xml file
Ok
so replacing the text in that that will cause the trail to work
I've had this problem before, it's not skin specific; I'm encountering an issue where the player's nail will simply stop swinging in an arc like it's supposed to, making it impossible to beat enemies or collect soul. Am I missing a dependency or something?
Ok so ive been messing with the debug mod quite a bit and now pantheon 2 says I need to defeat the hollow knight when i have defeated him in all endings
are you sure its thk?
Yup
cuz he can't show up in pantheons
and he isn't a requirement for godhome
what does the game show you?
nice
What mods to you have on?
(I just scrolled up actually, nvrmnd)
@gloomy coral I have done everything and it works. But the enemies don't spawn.
send a screenshot of your xml file in custom trial folder
Ok just a sec.
maybe you could delete one mod at a time and test it to see which mod is causing the issue
This is only a part of it because I have used the trial of the absolute fool.
I have to go now.
A friend of mine has some serious eye problems and can't handle all of the overlays and filters of base Hollow Knight. Is there a mod that he can use to remove them so he can see easier?
ok so according to the discord i need to configure the Secure Channel component in Windows 7 be configured to support TLS 1.1 and 1.2. can someone help me out with this lol
you can use this version of the mod installer
(so you dont have to do the TLS stuff)
i know but for some reason hollow POINT isnt working and i want to gun down radiance
screenshot your main menu
Which overlays and filters?
Did they already go into the vanilla game settings, and disable stuff like the blur?
@gloomy coral Ok so i was wrong about it being traitor lord

the thing with steam and gog is already in ?i, which says that one should look in the pinned messages
Only admins can change the bot. So we're working on it to get them updated. Gonna be a hot minute though
Since only simo or Benji can change it
that's maybe rough, with the amount of dms they possibly get from the beta
That makes sense.
the thing with steam and gog is already in
?i, which says that one should look in the pinned messages
Yeah, I just like redundancy and repetition ||||
More specifically, it always seems like a good idea to pre-emptively answer some questions. A lot of times it seems like people ask for the installer, and then later ask why it's not working, withand
being the problem. And as much as I'd love to assume that everyone reads through all of the pins before asking Qs... that's almost never going to happen lol
true lol
hi, uh, can I have some help
Things like the generic dark aoe in crossroads, all of the green tints/blurs in fungus, etc. There's a lot of stuff that blurs things in ways that are hard for him to see, and the default blur removal doesn't always help. I was hoping for something else, like a way to remove the area-specific filters/darkness or foreground layers, if that's possible.
no no no, I have the mod
it's buggy tho. I can't use map and the menus aren't coming up
Debug can remove the vignette effect (what I assume you're referring to by "dark aoe"). It can adjust a few other UI / screen things (like, you can zoom in and out). I don't think anything else really exists for the other stuff. That being said, since Team Cherry
is currently doing some final patches for the game right now, and implementing some QoL stuff, it might be worthwhile to attempt to reach out to them about this. Maybe they can implement some additional options to help with player accessibility before considering the game "done".
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
The point of the message I linked is that you're not giving enough info to allow any help to be provided.
If you want help, you have to actually give more info on the problem.
We need info like
- What exactly is your problem
- What mods are you using
- What have you tried
- Post a screenshot of your main menu, as it will contain helpful info for troubleshooting
okay
-My problem is everything is broken. literally everything except the gun mod. Trying to start a new game doesn't work, the camera bugs out and no sound plays. keybinds are all messed up and I can't access the quit/options menu. Going in on my old save doesn't help much but at least I can actually load in and walk around.
- I am using Hollow Point, Benchwarp, Modcommon, QoL, and Randomizer 3
screenshot will come in just a sec
@noble swan Do you have SereCore and Vasi enabled in ModInstaller?
no
Also, read the Hollow Point readme file. If you did, you would know that you literally can't start a functional new save with it enabled.
You need SereCore and Vasi enabled in order for QoL and Rando to work
ok
And to play a Hollow Point new game, you need to start a new file without it on, then exit and turn it on.
I believe you can easily do this by leaving it enabled in the mod installer, and going to Options in the Main Menu, going to Mods, disabling Hollow Point, then starting the game. Then quit to menu, and go an re-enable Hollow Point, then resume your game.
Alright, thankks Dwarf
For future mod playing:
If you ever see "FAILED TO LOAD" in the top-left mod list on your main menu, then 99.99% of the time, you've done something wrong.
Hopefully that all fixes it though
You should probably just restart the game since tmk reloading mods like that skips preloading or something
Correct me if I’m wrong
Tbh, I've never tested it. I also have cheated, and started a world with HP enabled, and then quit and resumed that world, and it worked fine. But since Idk why it worked for me but not others, I just follow the readme steps.
Honestly, I feel like that Mod menu in options should just be removed if it's not recommended to use it at all, because people should ideally be fully removing mods that aren't in use, so as to avoid mod bloat. It's not like enabling / disabling mods in HK is particularly time consuming or difficult.
Pretty sure what you said is the way people are supposed to do it
I’ve been telling people to make saves with hp
Then quit, restart and load
Mmmm, yeah, it looks like I was blurring together the rando and non-rando instructions.
🔹 This mod doesnt work on a new save, To fix this you must first create the new save, quit to main menu, and load the save again. This will then make the mod work as intended, this applies to both Regular and Godmaster new saves.
🔹 This mod DOES work with Randomizer but be wary of the same issues above, you first need create a Rando save with Hollow Point DISABLED, quit the game, ENABLE Hollow Point, start the game (with both Rando and Hollow Point enabled) and you can now load the Rando save with Hollow Point completely working. (Otherwise, creating a new Rando save with Hollow Point enabled tends to crash the game)
That being said, since HP appears to run it's conversions when a save is loaded, I don't think it really matters either way, so defaulting the advice to say that HP should be disabled when creating the new world means that it'll be correct for both Rando and non-Rando.
(And by sheer accident, this was the right advice for the person above, since they were running Rando
)
I wonder if Rando is fun with HP 
for some reason, not only is the dumb radiance mod not loading, but the Ultimatum Radiance mod is failing to load as well
im having a lot of trouble with the modinstaller2
it doesn't want to inject the mods so whenever i run the game it runs in vanilla hollow knight.
Does the mod loader need admin privileges?
don't think so
not 100% sure
ive ran the application as administrator and still nothing comes up. i don't know if there are any steps im missing.
You need to install Modding Api (windows)
If you're on Windows, Mod Installer 1 is more intuitive, fwiw
could you link that to me if possible?
It doesn't usually need it, but it can be helpful to prevent system-specific issues

Thank you @pliant lantern I managed to fix it and get a run going

@pliant lantern why doubt
i clicked to uninstall

it worked now
also how do i reset stats in bonfire mod
I think you use Rancid eggs
But i'm not 100% sure, because I've never actually used the mod
What's the pins
cool thanls
i instaled the custom knight mod but for some reason when i select my grimm knight skin nothing happens, it was working like 10 minutes ago
do u have modcommon on
if i have a mod will i still get steam achievements? because im on pantheon of hallownest and will get very sad if dont get the achievement just because im using a skin
yes you can still get achievements
Hi, I kinda broke QoL and Randomizer and I think it's because I'm missing SeanprCore. Where can I download the file?
ty
modinstaller. you have to download the mod Serecore
Okay, I do have that installed so that's not what's messing with my game. It keeps telling me that QoL fails to load, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times but that isn't working. I have Modding API, QoL (FAILED TO LOAD), Serecore, Benchwarp, EnemyHpBar, ModCommon, and RandomizerMod installed. Is there anything I need to disable or install?
Download the mod Vasi
Thank you for your time! I appreciate it :)
I'm having an issue with ModInstaller. I uninstalled Hollow Knight to free up space on my computer a while ago, and redownloaded today. I'm trying to run Hollow Knight but it's telling me to purchase the game and that it cannot find the game files.
I have purchased it though, so I don't understand why I'm getting that error.
As for the "Can't find game files" I'm not seeing anything on the internet that says how to fix that error.
I've tried: Deleting all Hollow Knight files not in steamapps (because I only finished reinstalling it 10 mins ago) and downloading the latest ModInstaller.
reset the installer. the instructions are in the pins
thanks
you can find the game files by going to steam, right click on hollow knight → properties → local files and then browse local files
ok, thank you
Are there any guides for modding the windows store version with linux dual boot?
you need the steam or gog version of hollow knight
as it is in the pins, also possible with linux dual boot
I have the hollow knight version on steam
But my friend doesn’t
And we want to do multiplayer
Question
Theres a mod I'd like to install called lightbringer, does it work with hollow point?
I would envision no since the charms probably collide and mess with eachother
also
what does the mod ascii camera mean by 'Makes camera ASCII like'
i am a brave boy
i will try to run hollow knight without my everything being corrupted
basically ascii art for the camera
ok
i am using lightbringer and hollow point
and
somethings off
why do i start with shotgun
idk if it even shoots projectiles
and the lance wont work
ok i figured it out
i still can use my nail but its like super short and invisible
and for some weird reason my guns a shotgun
and i start with it
both mods affect the method of attack so they are interfering with each other
yeah
i thought it'd just mess charms up
since the gun is different to the nail
its kinda just tacked on
still makes sense tho
uh, how do i get custom knight to work? it keeps auto disabling
nvm, i found a pinned message, this should help
@gloomy coral hello there
you were helping my comrade with the CustomTrial mod yesterday
and yeah... us peck necks still didn't get it to work
okay so what we have right now is the mod file (CustomTrial.dll) in the mod folder and i made a random trial with the editor and replaced the xml file with the one in the CustomTrial folder also in the mod folder
i also disabled all other mods but when i start a trial no enemies spawn at all
i assume that the mod itself works since nothing spawns instead of just the normal trial
so there is probably something wrong with the WaveSequence xml file
anything you see that might be wrong?
here's how the xml file looks
tiktiks don't work
lol okay so i had to take the one enemy that doesn't work
thanks for letting me know
okay so i changed it to this
still doesn't work
walls don't move either and the crowd doesnt gasp they cheer so it can't just be the enemies not spawning
the xml file isn't reading but i'm not sure why pretty sure i put it in the right place
upload your modlog
its working for me
@hasty ledge which mods do you have installed
a lot but i disabled them all or do i also have to uninstall?
you need Vasi
what's Vasi?
Ummm hello
I need help with the mod installer
When i launche the program it doesn't find where the game files are
Can someone please help
The game is not installed on steam but on the outside
On the D partition
Please i really want to try the mods like the bosses health bar and the custome knight
what does it say when you open the installer?
does it ask you to select a file path
Yes

when it asks you, open the D drive and then point it to the Hollow Knight folder in this path

I just tried what you told me i couldn't find the folder
Like i said i didn't install the game from steam
where did you get the game from?
For some reason the app doesn't let me buy anything only free games(not like i can buy any game)
if you dont buy the game the mod installer won't work
ello gang is there any way i can change the pantheon boss music to the original bosses music? im about to do the pantheons and i already know that ill get sick of hearing those same like 2 songs over and over lol
Just one more question please
Can't I download the mods manually then activate them also manually
Without the mod installer
not if you pirated the game
guys i downloaded mod manager and install quality of life and debug mod and i can use them properly but i cant install imposible mod by gwonkee
can someone help me
Can't install or it doesn't work? If the latter try installing the Vasi mod.
Did you check its documentation for any dependencies it requires?
i read gwonkee"s guide it says you only need qol mod
screenshot your main menu
where did you put the decoration master mod?
what do I do next
(I made a network w/ hamachi and my friend is connected to it)
set start button not working
is there more thing I need to do?
set start is for benchwarp, not multiplayer
it also shouldn't be visible with this set of mods on 🥴
you need multiplayer client
even if you're the host
it says successfully installed but doesnt work and isnt shown in mods menu
that is not how to install custom maps

oh thank you so much somehow i couldnt find a guide for a hour
isn't it not normal if i connected and my nickname don't show?
your own nickname does not show above your head, only other people's
oh
but my friend seems to not see me and i'm the same
oh wait my friend said they made mistake
yeah its working now
that should be chinese, anyone had this problem with debug-mod?
i havent had this problem
also, the modding api you're using is outdated
so open the installer and it should update
I install grimmchildupgrades and it do nothing. What do I need to do?
thank you, now that works 
is there a god way to change hollow knight textures?
wdym?
Currently the only mod I know of that allows you to freely alter textures is Customknight
There are others but they have a fixed texture they replace
hmm. I mean for like the title screen and stuff
Well there isn't any mod right now that lets you change it freely as far as I know
Shouldn't be too hard to make something that changes it to something specific
hmm yeah I could make a mod like that or smthing
Are there any tutorials you would recommend for getting started?
Hello! I have a problem with my ds4 controller with the modding api not working. I'm aware that this is an issue with the api, however the workaround listed didn't work for me. I looked online and found that using steam in big picture and remapping controls would do it and it does. However, the only thing I can't seem to get working is joystick move. I'm on linux not windows, if that makes a difference
any tips?
Is there a Native Controller option? If yes you can try toggling it and restarting the game:
for you it says beta, does that mean i should be on the beta branch?
this is what I see
(good taste with the troupe background)
any chances of beta messing with my saves?
Is it the latest updat?
no, but to be safe, copy the userN.dat files from the save location to another folder
I dont use beta and i have it so that shouldnt matter
what happened?
not even there with beta
😔
by the way, as i mentioned in my original message, all i need to get working is joystick to move
because using the dpad to move feels weird to me
How would I make a mod for hollow knight? I have done work with the unity scripting in C# but is there any good place to start like an online tutorial? (Same questions as this guy: https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/1744482417429555878/)
Naw, but the beta release of the game should have improved gamepad support. Won't be compatible with mods though.
do mods even work with beta
Yes, yes mods work with beta controller support
Oh ok i was about to ask lol
lol
gonna try something real quick
this is the modding api documentation
thanks!
Hey i cant find a place to download the SeanprCore file for the randomizer
Serecore replaces it
it has been changed to serecore
ok thank you!
Controller input beta option doesn't exist on linux for whatever reason. You might have to use a controller to keyboard mapping program to make your ds4 work
Where should i download serecore?
Installer
ok thx
yeah i used steam big picture
my only issue is that i couldnt get the joystick to work
everything else is good
can you change your location using save edits?
hey i did it
so what im doing now is running the game through steam's proton so it basically thinks im on windows
and that unlocked the native controller option
which means everything works now!
yes you can. there's a respawn scene variable you can change
oh ok nice
but idk why would you
i kinda broke my safe
save*
benchwarp screwed me over
and broke it
and im respawning at an imposiible place
looks like im going to need to change the game to native to get the installer working
and then back to proton to actually play
Is there a unity hollow knight mod code skeleton?
for like the implementations of different stuffs
is dirtmouth just called "town" ?
I thinks so yeah xD

What’s the problem
@wheat orchid i can only find my game path
Copy paste the path into file explorer
why?
i downloaded a mod installer from relyea, it found the path to hollow knight, i check off some different mods, and it doesn't work
...because it will take you to the path
ohhh
Paste it into file explorer’s address bar
found it
Is there an enable all installed mods button
no
what i need to do now? @wheat orchid
Send the ModLog.txt file
Has somebody made a mod that replaces ghost with slugcat
Are you using an controller
no
Look through the skin google drives in the pins
But
the mod installer i tried from fire had the button tho
I'm lazy :(
Go to your save files path and delete all files with ModdingApi in their name

did you watch all of it
no you didn't
how to compleatly disinstall mods
because then you would be asking questions in the discord he links in the description
stop pinging me please
discord has this fun reply feature which lets you respond to messages without pinging them
if using modinstaller, there should be a button "revert to unmodded" at the bottom
if using modinstaller2, disable Modding API (Windows)
if it doesn't work, verify integrity of game files in steam/gog
so what about my randomizer problem
iirc there should be a button to randomize enemies, click it and wait
did you download hollow point?
yes
there are never enough red arrows
- https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- go to save files
- locate
userX.dat(with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4) - upload that to the website
- ctrl+f "focusMP_amount"
- set the value to 33
- download encrypted (PC)
- rename it to the original name (will be downloaded as
user1.dat, rename if you want slot 2, 3 or 4 to be edited) - put it back to the save file folder
do this
It'd be nice if you could tell the Reply feature to never, ever ping people... instead of defaulting to pinging.
that's what mods are for
screenshot what the installer says
a bit different if QoL is installed
i cut it out cuz he said he wants to delete all mods
and
