[raw shadow]

[novel bronze]

I have a question I've been wondering what is the difference between the hollow Knight mod installer and mod installer2

[real jacinth]

UI

[novel bronze]

Okay I just been running because I downloaded the first mod installer and it end up not working but the second one did

[arctic viper]

Hello, just a simple question if somebody can help... the modinstaller doesn't open, i just double click it/right click open as admin... nothing... do I need something to make it work?

[real jacinth]

Move to desktop

[arctic viper]

it's there, yes

it creates an .exe named AU and... just that

[real jacinth]

Where did you get it

What os version

[arctic viper]

windows 10 20H2, got the installer from radiance.host or something like that

[real jacinth]

Does it give any errors?

Did you try resetting pc and trying again

[arctic viper]

mmmmm lemme try that

nothing u.u

Wait I just saw an option inside properties that said something about unlock the file or something like that lol

[coral marsh]

can someone walk me through getting custom knight skins? I already have custom knight installed on modinstaller

[arctic viper]

now I'm trying to make a HK server

Can someone help me try this?

[coral marsh]

like by joining the server?

DiNaMiiC

[arctic viper]

yeah

[coral marsh]

sure, as long as i dont need a mic or anythin

[arctic viper]

no, just try to join the game

[coral marsh]

ok, ur using logmeinhamachi right?

[arctic viper]

no

port forwarding

[glass meteor]

delete au.exe

delete the installer

download the installer

or download modinstaller2 😤

what

the latter thing on the former thing

[real jacinth]

Where did you put them

Did you run as admin

continuing won't fix it

what does the window say exactly

you could have just screen shot it. lol

screenshotting?

"screenshotting doesn't work" is not a thing.

and there's like 5 ways to do it

but that's besides the point

anyways....

I think the new installer might be fucked. I can't get anything to work with it either

@runic oriole

use this one for now I guess

and why isn't installer 2 working for you?

I just got that one to work

[somber sail]

mod installer isn't detecting hollow knight on my PC

[real jacinth]

did you move installer 2 to desktop too?

run as admin?

you got the windows one?

not the mac one?

you sure?

#archived-modding-help message

cuz I literally just downloaded this one and it worked fine

reset your installer settings folder.

then try again

#archived-modding-help message

"reset your installer settings folder.
then try again"

look up like 3 messages

[glass meteor]

[glass meteor]

cd Desktop

ModInstaller2.exe

[arctic viper]

[pliant lantern]

You can also use Alt + PRT SC to copy the currently open window to your clipboard. Then you can just paste it into the channel.

[arctic viper]

anyway, what do you see in this area?

?

...

[raw shadow]

I don't usually help because I don't know how but I just had this problem earlier

[glass meteor]

what does 'this problem' mean exactly

[raw shadow]

where you double click mod installer and it creates AU

[glass meteor]

it's time to use modinstaller2

😤

[raw shadow]

ok

[glass meteor]

does cmd have no output at all bro

[arctic viper]

I had that problem before but then I saw on the app properties that said something about Allowing the app to execute or something like that in that area and now it doesn't say anything but works now

[glass meteor]

if you can't screen capture then copy paste the text idc

[foggy relic]

my modloader suddenly stopped working today

[arctic viper]

[wintry oasis]

Hey I had a problem, I was about to play with my Dualshock on a Mac and ut just stop, what do I do?

[glass meteor]

suicide

you're sure there is no log file?

[nocturne barn]

the modloader stopped for me too

[glass meteor]

ok

did you download the one i posted today

[raw shadow]

@jaunty surge I know you are using mod installer 2 now but when you were using mod installer 1 when you double click it was there something called Au? just wondering

well I had this problem earlier

[nocturne barn]

same here

^

[raw shadow]

and it was with my virus protector like Norton security ultra

[glass meteor]

do me a favor and try this

[raw shadow]

it blocked the app from running

[glass meteor]

[raw shadow]

[nocturne barn]

I literally changed nothing

raw skill

let's go

Windows

[tame tapir]

hey yall im also havin that issue with the mod installer and i did the run anyway thing and now its just a black box. h e l p

[pliant lantern]

Well, 56 just posted a new version of ModInstaller2 for windows. So you can try that one if you didn't yet

[tepid prawn]

Help I installed the thing pinned and it just comes up with this

[pliant lantern]

It sounds like for some reason 1 and 2 are having an issue with some people's Anti Virus software?

[tepid prawn]

oh wait nevermind

Its working now

[mental scroll]

whenever I try to load the mod installer it says there is an uncaught exception

[pliant lantern]

Where did you get the Modinstaller?

and Which one is it?

[mental scroll]

I got the one in the channel description

[lunar copper]

Any way to check what mod installer your using because I think I might of installed mod installer 2 for mac on windows

[pliant lantern]

Something may have gone wonky with an update to that one today.
Try using the one in the pins for now

[mental scroll]

ok thanks

[pliant lantern]

Mod Installer 2 for Mac is a .zip archive; the one for Windows isn't

[mental scroll]

ill try that

[lunar copper]

Thx

[thorn merlin]

what are milf skips ?

and mag skips ?

[pliant lantern]

wot

[still crest]

Fireb0rn made a video yesterday where he said mag skips are really hard really obscure skips, like shape of unn without ismas tear

[novel bronze]

mag skips are extremely hard skips found by a player(i sadly forgot his full name rn). they normally only find usefullnes in randomizer runs

[thorn merlin]

and mild ?

I saw that on the rando mod

[tropic sphinx]

Eyy

So my modinstaller was working fine

And then I tried to use it on version 1.2.2.1

Got on error and it closed

Now when I try to open it, it'll open up an error window for a quick flash and then close. Trying to open it again gives me this error

Tried reinstalling the modloader and restarting my computer so far

If I click continue

I get this window

[pliant lantern]

See: https://hollow-knight-randomizer.fandom.com/wiki/Randomizer_-_Main_Menu_Settings
and: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTXjwmjpzMcm4GuZNeiSiX8rp2neYwHeX1IwNn0mi7xnvCxBzEJlnlLnkp_HvVf4u4S6vhAJQTVH8xE/pub#h.9tmxngdyh4x3

For some reason a lot of people's Anti Virus software / Windows security is having an issue with Mod Installer's auto updater, and is blocking it.

You can Right-Click on the installer, click Properties, go to General, and see if there's an option near the bottom to allow it to run

The option apparently looks like this:

[shell moon]

hello guys i've been trying to install underlein's speedrun mod with no luck- i managed to get parts on the mod to work but then the rest of the game is broken. there are no installation instructions in the README file so does anybody here know this mod and can help?

[pliant lantern]

It looks like it's essentially QoL

Is there a specific reason not to just use QoL?

[wide glade]

speedrunmod is a more accurate QoL that was being developed for speedrun use, but never finished

just use qol

[shell moon]

is Qol a different mod?

[pliant lantern]

Yeah

QoL is on the installer

?i

[dense shuttle]

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

[shell moon]

the one that's the zote head?

[pliant lantern]

Yeah

[shell moon]

oh great

[pliant lantern]

Note: there's a chance that the main installer may be not working correctly. The ModInstaller 2 that's in the top pins may work for you if that's the case

Alternatively, if the main ModInstaller doesn't work, you can try this:
#archived-modding-help message

[shell moon]

qol works! thank you so much!!

[ashen wedge]

My mods suddenly don't work. It was working just find yesterday. Also, when I try to open MOdINstaller this happens.

[wide glade]

try either redownloading modinstaller or using modinstaller2

known issue with the autoupdater i believe

[ashen wedge]

Let me try.

Mods still don't work/

[wide glade]

did you try using modinstaller2 for windows

[ashen wedge]

Yes.

[wide glade]

does it say modding api is out of date

[ashen wedge]

It didn't.

[wide glade]

is modding api enabled

[ashen wedge]

Yes

[wide glade]

ok so what is your actual issue, described a little more thoroughly than "my mods suddenly don't work"

[ashen wedge]

Well, I was playing Item Randomizer then I went to do something so I quit the game. Then when I come back, I see my mods don't show up in the top left corner and they don't work in game. Also this happened. So yeah, here I am.

[wide glade]

so just checking: modinstaller2 says that Modding API is both installed and enabled?

[ashen wedge]

Yes

[wide glade]

maybe try deleting moddingapi globalsettings

I'm having troubles figuring out how to host a hollow knight server and how to join one, mabye i missed something in the installing or something, I installed Hamachi and used the IP hamachi game me but me and my friend coudn't connect, or at least we couldn't see each other.
can someone help me out?

I followed fireb0rn video on it but the method doesnt seem to work, at least for me

[wide glade]

read this

[cobalt snow]

Thank you

[prime willow]

You might also be interested in checking out a new version of Hollow Knight multiplayer I have been working on that should be a lot more stable: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP. The procedures for using Hamachi are still the same, so these instruction are still valid, but the mod is different.

[cobalt snow]

thank you, we'll first see if we manage to connect with this version, otherwise we'll take a look at the newest version

Hey does anyone know how the toggle able bindings mod works, I don't know how to activate the Bindings.

[gloomy coral]

[steel edge]

Hello,
Today I installed skins for hollow Knight, and I already had the ModInstaller.
When I try to change skin, the menu of choice of skins disappears and in play my skin does not change.
How can I fix this?

[fallen kernel]

"An unmanaged exception has occurred in your app. If you click Continue, the app will ignore this error and try to continue. If you click Leave, the app will stop immediately"

I tried to delete and run the installer again but it kept popping up this message

[manic ledge]

does anyone know whats wrong with this, i literally stared at it for 7 hours trying to figure out why the command to downpatch doesnt work and still havent found out an answer

[tender minnow]

does anyone have this full image

trying to find a labeled sprite sheet to port a skin into spelunky 2

[wide glade]

#modding-discussion pins have a full knight skin separated into folders iirc

[tender minnow]

ah ty

I found the tool that breaks the animations down into single frames

muuuuch easier to work with

[still crest]

Modinstaller refuses to open. The mods load properly when opening up HK

I am trying to downpatch but get the error "Unable to load mono library from "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow 1221/hollow_knight_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 126)."

Anyone knows how to solve this?

[ocean bough]

I used modinstaller and now all the text in my game is either this strange runic text or a missing texture, anyone know how to help?

[gloomy coral]

delete the arts mod

[gloomy coral]

ask in #speedrunning

[ocean bough]

ah ok thanks

[gloomy coral]

ask in #speedrunning

[gloomy coral]

i think the depot downlaoder is named .d11 (one one) instead of dll (the letter L)

[manic ledge]

oh

[gloomy coral]

try using modinstaller 2

[manic ledge]

i stg if thats it

[manic ledge]

nope, guess ill just try to ask in speedrunning again

[ivory aurora]

You should find all of them in the Default folder of Customknight

K what kind of like program should I use for the skin?

What error do you get

And also spam clicking stuff almost always makes it worse

How does RandoMapMod work? I can't open my map anymore

[wide glade]

get your maps from elderbug

it's only intended to be used on randomizer saves

[crimson oar]

By talking to elderbug?

coz I tried that

[wide glade]

you need to speak to him a couple times

are you on a randomizer 3 save?

Ok I'll try again

[crimson oar]

yes

I'll go to cornifer first and try again

I am very new to modding so soz if this sounds dumb, but how do I get mods with ModInstaller 2? There are only check boxes with no install button

[wide glade]

the right hand check boxes with Installed?

[hoary rivet]

yes

[wide glade]

when they're ticked the mod is installed

[hoary rivet]

oh I see, thanks

[unique kite]

I was wondering, is there an option to have an extra page for mod options or if there that one page is all you got to work with?

[steel edge]

Hello,
Today I installed skins for hollow Knight, and I already had the ModInstaller.
When I try to change skin, the menu of choice of skins disappears and in play my skin does not change.
How can I fix this?

[wide glade]

do you have modcommon?

[steel edge]

I don't think so

Is this the problem?

[wide glade]

yes

[unique kite]

So I'll take it as a no on the extra mod pages?

[wide glade]

probably not, we usually recommend not installing masses of mods because of potential incompatibilities

[unique kite]

Well that I am fortunately aware of, don't think Blackmoth(Redwing, by proxy), and Hollow Point work together

[novel bronze]

So upon trying to launch modinstaller after restarting my laptop I get this error

anyone know what this is

[unique kite]

well whats the error below?

cause there would usually be more for it to say

also is there another computer wherever you happen to be?

[novel bronze]

uh no there isnt but below it says

Hello mates ! I'm trying to install the Impossible Any% mod from here : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2334854164

But I don't know what I'm supposed to do with the files I downloaded from the Google Drive

Thanks in advance for your answers 🙂

And sorry if someone has already asked about it, I couldn't find the answer

[novel bronze]

Nvm to my question, searched it up in this channel and found the solution

[thorn merlin]

is that possible without any skills ? from mantis bench to qs

it is a rando, and I spawned on fungal

[gloomy coral]

im pretty sure there a gate there

[thorn merlin]

I turned only miild skips on

[gloomy coral]

you have to go from the charm notch arena and go down from there

[thorn merlin]

I used the switch

I get the charm notch

cyclone slash

and all the geo deposits were geos, and the % view

[thorn merlin]

no, on the room before the closed city door, there is a jump, 100% impossible

acid

the one under legeater

[gloomy coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-04JcalmOtg&t=226s&ab_channel=fireb0rn
watch first few mins of this video to get an idea how to download the mod. Then download the impossible any% map from the pins of #modding-discussion

[thorn merlin]

so, is this route possible

[pliant lantern]

You have to pogo the shroom enemy

[thorn merlin]

i can't aggro it

[pliant lantern]

You don't need to aggro

[thorn merlin]

I tured shade skips off

ik

I did

[pliant lantern]

In the room with the lever + door, he is at your jump height. When he's close to you, jump, and pogo

I can take a clip of it in a few minutes if you want

[gloomy coral]

there is a gate blocking your way for the route in the pic above

[thorn merlin]

the ambloom ?

[thorn merlin]

I did it

pretty easy

[thorn merlin]

I opened it

[gloomy coral]

nice

[thorn merlin]

the room with the chillling ambloom

[pliant lantern]

I think you're mixing up the start

[thorn merlin]

so it is possible ?

nice ty

[gloomy coral]

i think i am

[pliant lantern]

It only works on a save where you didn't already talk to him as well. If you started a Rando without map mod, then talked to him once, then added map mod, it won't work.

[keen snow]

Thank you very much !

[ocean bough]

how do you start a server with the multiplayer mods?

[wide glade]

3rd pin

[ocean bough]

(multiplayer server and client)

ok

[rapid vigil]

Hey I have a problem with the ModInstaller, it isn't starting, it auto-downloaded something called "AU.exe" which is supposedly the auto updater for it. The thing is, it fails to do anything. But what's even worse is the fact that it is running in the background AND not visible in task manager (not under a normal name at least) so I have no idea how to shut it off and delete it

[wide glade]

yes that is known

[rapid vigil]

well what do i do

[wide glade]

try modinstaller2, and AU.exe could still exist under "background processes" or something, but should have crashed iirc

[gloomy coral]

if you can't close it from task manager maybe restart the computer

[rapid vigil]

ok I'll do that

so does the "universal" one work with 1221?

coz I cant get modinstaller to work with it

[gloomy coral]

click on the 'old' folder

[plain wind]

oh im blind lmao

thanks

[rapid vigil]

why does modinstaller2 open with a random command prompt

[pliant lantern]

I'm not about to ping people about it, but if any mods browse today, we may need some pin updates:

• The old Dyno Command for ?mods is still pinned, and needs replaced with the new one (or a more fleshed out message for the pin itself).

• May want to pin a message about ModInstaller and the Auto Updater (AU.exe) being donked up for people, and which fixes are recommended (I know MI2 doesn't have the issue, and from my understanding, a setting can be changed on the main installer's property settings to allow it to work). At least until it's fixed.

[rapid vigil]

• i preferred the old layout

[pliant lantern]

Mod Installer 2 isn't related to 1. They both do the same thing, but are visually different. 2 is more minimal for a few reasons, but it also is easily built for every OS.

[gloomy coral]

cuz it can

just minimize it

[pliant lantern]

Generally speaking, people here tend to recommend the Zote Head installer, because it's somewhat more intuitive for people except for the "enable all mods" button that iirc stilll isn't updated, but since Windows Security and/or antivirus software apps are angry at it right now, it's more of a hassle for the time being.

[thorn merlin]

is vengefly pogo for mask shard on mild skips ?

near the goams

[pliant lantern]

Yes

[gloomy coral]

hastle of pressing advanced -> run

[thorn merlin]

uh

I guess it is practice

[pliant lantern]

If you want an easier way to do it (aka my baby method that I use): Die to the first Goam. Your shade will be exactly where you need. And the bench is literally right there at Hot Spring

It also ends up being faster to do that then it is to reset the room more than 2 times

[thorn merlin]

nice, I didn't knew about that

[pliant lantern]

Fwiw, Rando Q's should probably be in #randomizer or #modding-discussion lol

[thorn merlin]

oopsz

didn't saw it

[pliant lantern]

Be honest, with how many people come here and don't , don't ``Hollow Point (SEE README)`, and don't literally read the basic info that's available... do you think expecting people to open file properties is easier than using 2?

[thorn merlin]

can't find it

What type of problems?

[loud cairn]

always needing to update when modinstaller starts up, the exact same 7mb update
kinda just breaking the installer in modinstaller
not working when hollow knight starts

[gloomy coral]

Press cancel when it says go update

Screenshot your main menu

[loud cairn]

alright, ill do that soon

[tidal whale]

I get into the mod manager but i can only select manually

[brave geode]

Do i need to do a copy of the save files before doing anything?

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot the installer

[gloomy coral]

It doesn't hurt to back them up

[tidal whale]

sure how do i sreenshot on windows again?

[loud cairn]

oh

i may have found a solution

gimme just a moment

[gloomy coral]

Win + shift + s

[tidal whale]

ok

[wide glade]

win+shift+s*

[brave geode]

Ok, one question, how do i do that?

[gloomy coral]

Why do I always mess this up

[loud cairn]

nope didnt solve it, just got it in a semi-working state

[gloomy coral]

Go to save files and copy the userN.dat files to another folder

[gloomy coral]

Semi working?

[brave geode]

Where are the save files?

[gloomy coral]

Press win + r and then paste this

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

[loud cairn]

by semi working i mean the UIs a mess, gun does no damage and is single shot per like 2 seconds

[tidal whale]

here thats all i get

[gloomy coral]

Reload the save

And read the readme

[gloomy coral]

Try using modinstaller 2 (the first pin)

[tidal whale]

ok ill try

[brave geode]

Ok, i backed up the save files.

What do i do now?

I want to install the customknight mod.

[gloomy coral]

Open installer. Click install on custom knight

[tidal whale]

Is it that?

[gloomy coral]

Yea

[brave geode]

Ok, let's see if it works.

[tidal whale]

ok tyvm

[loud cairn]

oh

i missed a few things in the readme the first time

thanks so much and im so sorry

oh my escape button broke

[gloomy coral]

Broke as in came off the keyboard?

[brave geode]

Uhh, it says the mod is installed but the game doesn't show any mods.

[loud cairn]

game didnt detect the input, likely something to do with a mod i disabled while getting things to work

ah QoL failed
i likely forgot to reenable one of it's asset mods

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot the main menu

[loud cairn]

it had something to do with mods

[brave geode]

Of HW? Or the installer?

[gloomy coral]

Do you have vasi installed and enabled

[loud cairn]

aye i reenabled vasi

[gloomy coral]

Yes your home work

Screenshot of hk title screen

[brave geode]

Ah yes, my favorite game, homework.

Oh, strange.

Now the mod appears.

[gloomy coral]

Nice

[brave geode]

But the character model doesn't change.

The mod is on.

[wide glade]

you need to select a skin from the pause menu

[gloomy coral]

The most common problems for custom knight not working are:
1. Modding API and/or Mod Common not installed/enabled
2. Skins not put in the folder properly. It is supposed to be is: Managed → Mods → Custom Knight → folder(with skin name) → the PNG files. If there are more folders in between this then it will not work. It has to only be Custom Knight → Folder → PNG Files
3. Not waiting long enough in the pause menu after pressing on the skin
4. There are other mods installed that affect/override custom knight (e.g. light bringer, hollow point)

[brave geode]

i can't click the option.

[gloomy coral]

Install and enable mod common

[brave geode]

It's installed.

I'll try restarting the game.

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot the png files of the skin

Lkke how you placed them

[brave geode]

Oh im stupid.

I didn't saw any png files.

Do i have to install them?

[gloomy coral]

Yes

#archived-modding-help message

[brave geode]

Alright, what do i do now?

[gloomy coral]

Watch the video in the message I linked

[brave geode]

K.

I watched the video and it worked.

Only one more thing.

Is this skin in the drive?

[wide glade]

i have no idea

[brave geode]

I installed it, but it is actually another skin.

I'll install the infected one, it's like the same thing.

[brave geode]

Oh, i discovered the one you sent me was from the other drive. Sorry, i'm stupid.

Well, thanks.

[sweet depot]

Is there a tutorial on how to do multiplayer other than fireborn?

I tried to do it with my friend earlier, we followed the steps, got confused, and tried a few things, and it didn't work

[wide glade]

[sweet depot]

ok thanks!

Do you know if the host needs both the server and client or just server?

oh nvm, I can't read

[river cove]

Hello everyone! Can anyone help with multiplayer? Modinstaller always give an error

[novel bronze]

how do i change my skin

[wide glade]

watch the video

[hidden plinth]

Are we supposed to use the new Modinstaller2 that's pinned, the old one, or does it matter?

[wide glade]

afaik currently modinstaller1 is borked, the new modinstaller2 is functional

[hidden plinth]

Gotcha. Thank you!

[barren crater]

ive installed custom knight and modcommon (and custom knight shows up in the game's list of mods) but my skins aren't showing

[hidden plinth]

Do you start the game and hit pause and see a list on the left?

[barren crater]

sadly no

[spring bane]

Possibly your skin folder's aren't formatted right, they need to look like the default folder, having pngs with the same named

Wait

What os?

[wide glade]

The most common problems for custom knight not working are:
1. Modding API and/or Mod Common not installed/enabled
2. Skins not put in the folder properly. It is supposed to be is: Managed → Mods → Custom Knight → folder(with skin name) → the PNG files. If there are more folders in between this then it will not work. It has to only be Custom Knight → Folder → PNG Files
3. Not waiting long enough in the pause menu after pressing on the skin
4. There are other mods installed that affect/override custom knight (e.g. light bringer, hollow point)

[barren crater]

i'm following fireb0rn's tutorial and even installed the same skin pack

[wide glade]

screenshot your title screen

[barren crater]

the mods list looks like this

[wide glade]

open a save file

[barren crater]

alrighty

[wide glade]

and pause, and screenshot what the pause menu looks like

[barren crater]

o it might help to note that i'm on a mac

[wide glade]

yes that might help

it changes where you need to place the skin files

[barren crater]

o

oh that's probably why

[spring bane]

Yeah, the readme has the right path iirc

[barren crater]

i have them currently placed in the custom knight folder

[wide glade]

{InstallPath}/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed

is the managed folder on mac

[barren crater]

oh

give me a moment to move em

[wide glade]

It is supposed to be is: Managed → Mods → Custom Knight → folder(with skin name) → the PNG files.

[barren crater]

o wait

that's where they currently are

[wide glade]

can you screenshot the location

[wide glade]

screenshot the contents of the customknight folder

[spring bane]

ok according to the readme the path should be ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight

[vernal rain]

nvm that, the public beta option in gog is 1428

[spring bane]

Automatically the custom knight folder is created in the wrong spot on mac, you have to create the path mentioned in the readme

[barren crater]

o

ok

oh it worked :DD

thank you so much!

Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up mods on a 1.2.2.1 installation, but every link I find to the 1.2.2.1 modding api leads to a deleted google drive folder. Does anyone know where I can find the file? I've tried building the api myself from the github but I really have no idea what I'm doing

Fwiw, ?mods was updated, in case you keep hunting down the link from elsewhere

[vernal rain]

i just copy it from the pin in #archived-modding-development

[wide glade]

this would be an issue with CustomKnight not knowing where it's supposed to be placed

[pliant lantern]

I know a few of the Speedrun.com HK mods are here- maybe someone can update the Google Drive link on the resources page https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources, to help with people that find the drive from there?

[shadow void]

how do i get knight skins

[wispy tusk]

Thanks

[rapid vigil]

how outdated is mod summaries

[vernal rain]

should be up-to-date

[brave thistle]

I recently installed ModInstaller2 and now i want to do some speedrun attempts. Does anybody know how to uninstall the mod installer?

[real jacinth]

You delete it. But deleting the installer won't get rid of mods

Turn off the api in the installer. Or verify game file integrity through steam

[brave thistle]

i already did that but theres still something in the top left that says "modding api"

[azure needle]

my mod installer isn't opening? not sure how to fix this

[wide glade]

modinstaller1 is currently borked, use modinstaller2 from the pins

[willow quartz]

Hey guys this showed up when I tried to open the ModInstaller

[azure needle]

thank you jamie!

[wide glade]

read the message immediately above yours

[willow quartz]

oh so should I uninstall ModInstaller1?

[wide glade]

no need but you can if you want

[pliant lantern]

It doesn't install anything fwiw. You can delete, or wait for an update.

[wide glade]

it'll be fixed soon™️

[willow quartz]

ok thanks

[rotund tiger]

my friend got blue screened when opened modinstaller lol

[eager crystal]

yeah i did the steps...

Make sure both of you are connecting to the server/host

[lyric wharf]

Ok, so I started a room rando on preset easy, and really quickly I got stuck, so I checked the helper log to make sure I hadn't missed anything, and in fact, it tells me I have 0 unchecked locations. The issue in the logic is that it thinks I can reach this transition (in the image) despite me not having ANY ability (other than desolate dive) and me not enabling any skips. Soooo... is the logic a bit broken?

Anyway, I think I'll just start another one, it's not the end of the world, my seed was 496650342, full item randomization (everything possible), room rando as well, no skips. that's about it

[queen mauve]

when i try to open modinstaller it doesn't open is there anything i can do for this?

[wide glade]

room rando logic is notoriously harder than item rando logic, due to it being u maintained for a while while new skip categories were created

it wants you to do low% epogo to get up

[wide glade]

use modinstaller 2, 1 is broken right now

[queen mauve]

thanks where can i find it?

[wide glade]

pins

[queen mauve]

ok thanks

[tacit adder]

the issue im having is not specifically modding related, but my PC is having trouble opening the mod installer I use. I figured someone here may be able to help? If not then no worries.

oh wait i just read the above messages, thank you

[unique kite]

What does the "Any Radiance Mod" file mean?

[spring bane]

its a mod that makes the radiance dummy hard

you install it like you would manually install any mod

[unique kite]

Also is it me or is there an issue with the Hollow Point mod

[spring bane]

see readme

[unique kite]

it keeps saying its outdated, and it appears that the GDrive is having a 404 so I can't just manually install it

oh, thats why

hang on let me read it

this new gdrive should be operational

[unique kite]

Ok cause that was the issue I was having cause the mod installer didn't seem to be updating it correctly

[spring bane]

if it updates and then keeps asking you to update, must be a bug, it's probably actually updated. if that's not the thing i hope the readme or drive help u

[unique kite]

Well I'll find out if it is a bug or not

cause the modinstaller is saying that hollow point isn't installed when its clearly there

[cunning gulch]

Posting this a bunch of places to try and get help: When I run HK-Debug mod, my OBS FPS, even when just having the program open, tanks super hard. Like it bounces randomly from 6 - 40 FPS. Meanwhile, with the base game open, it runs at a perfect 60 even if I have the game open, a YT video or two, and Discord. Anyone else ever had this issue and/or knows how to best fix it

[hidden plinth]

Can anyone tell me which mod could be forcing Hollow Knight to continuously look up?

oh! I fixed it!

[pale geyser]

thank you!

[twilit crescent]

For what it's worth this is one of a number of room rando logic bugs that are known about, it will be fixed in a future version of rando (eventually)

[bold mural]

Is there a god mode mod in the mod manager?

[pale geyser]

is the modding API still used or is there an alternative for it? Cuz i cant find it in that google drive

[real jacinth]

use the installer

[wheat orchid]

Debug can do that

[novel bronze]

What versions does the mod installer in the pins work for? Will version 1.4.2.4 work with it?

[real jacinth]

no. buy the game

[novel bronze]

my family has in the past

[pale geyser]

Thanks I got the API working in the main game. However, It is not working in downpatched versions if there something else I need to do? (Trying to set up 1.2.2.1 with debug mod to practice)

[real jacinth]

look more closely on the drive then

it is there

[pale geyser]

by main game obvi I mean if I launch it through steam to 1.4

[shadow void]

how do i equip the skin im using-

[real jacinth]

did you put it in your game files

[shadow void]

yeah its right under default

[real jacinth]

then you pause the game

and click it

[shadow void]

what-

[pale geyser]

where does the mod installer embed itself. I changed folder it cant find game and now wont open need to delete it.

[real jacinth]

nowhere

if you haven't moved it, it's still in downloads

[pale geyser]

Yeah its load looping to this

[real jacinth]

so reset it

instructions in pins

[shadow void]

its not working

[real jacinth]

did you pause

does the menu show up

this screenshot tells me nothing

[shadow void]

im trying to click your skin but nothings happening-

[real jacinth]

my skin?

[shadow void]

yeah

[real jacinth]

?

[gloomy coral]

What do you wanna do?

[real jacinth]

show where you put it

did you unzip it

[shadow void]

its all extracted-

[real jacinth]

so then your file structure isn't right

show where you put it

[real jacinth]

inside that folder?

what's it look like

does it look like the default folder?

[real jacinth]

so yes. that's wrong

they're 1 folder too deep

it needs to look like the default folder

[shadow void]

so what do i need to do-

[real jacinth]

move the png files

to look like how default does

[shadow void]

so like this

this skins so cool-

[unique kite]

I got back to messing around with this, guess either the mod installer is bugged when it comes to using Hollow Point it seems

[gloomy coral]

what is bugged?

what happens when you open the modinstaller

[unique kite]

According to the modinstaller, hollow point is out of date

[gloomy coral]

ignore it

[unique kite]

oh so thats just a thing, alright

now I have to learn how to make proper usage of this mod cause doing a new game the gun does no damage, is that normal perchance?

[gloomy coral]

if other mods show up as out of date you should click on the orange box to update them tho

[gloomy coral]

reload the save

and read the readme

[unique kite]

oh, so basically for newgame, just go through the tutorial section as normal

[gloomy coral]

^^^

[unique kite]

Ok so it was me being stupid, got it

[gloomy coral]

use modinstaller 2

its the first pinned message

they do the same thing

[modern cedar]

i have a backup so i'm not too concerned, but uhhh, what the heck? i'm just trying to get impossible any%, installed decorationmaster and all this happens, the font everywhere is messed up and i can't get rid of the big green box

ok i fixed the weird font, i think i accidentally installed 'art' mods and that was the culprit

still cant get rid of green box tho

[pliant lantern]

You can either ignore the greenbox (it doesn't do anything) or you can agree to the license. That is in the config file for decomaster

DecorationMaster.GlobalSettings.json located in your saves folder

[modern cedar]

thank you!

what mod do i need for infinite HP and how do i enable it?

[pliant path]

i think that is the debug mod

or if you want to go the other way use wemod

[modern cedar]

I have QoL but can't see any options to use it in game

same with randomizer 3.0

[reef shale]

so i accidentally set my debug load savestate button to left click, now i can't reassign it cause when i click it loads the savestate instead, how do i reset/change my keybinds without leftclicking ingame, i assume there is a file somewhere that i can delete to reset it

found it

i just had to delete %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ModdingApi.GlobalSettings.json

for anyone searching in the future

this deletes all the debug mod settings

[gloomy coral]

its in the pins

and the actual file you're supposed to delete is debugmod.globalsettings

[pliant venture]

I spent about an hour today trying to get the randomizer multiworld mod working with a friend, but we couldn't get it working; the multiworld would appear to start as usual, but one person's "Received Item" view wouldn't show up (even for items they found themselves) and items would only get sent in one direction. Strangely, the direction would change between games; sometimes I could send but not receive items, other times I could receive but not send items, and one time I sent an item and two were sent instead. Also, the items designated for the other player in one player's world would show up in-game as for "Player2" instead of the player's name.

We were both using identical up to date mods and reinstalled https://github.com/CallumMoseley/HollowKnight.RandomizerMod/releases/download/v0.1.6/RandomizerModMW.zip multiple times, tried restarting the full game client and joining a different room about 10 times, but never got it working. (We were using the dedicated server, not our own server).

We did see some interesting behavior in the RandomizerTrackerLog.txt on one of the attempts:
mine:

ITEM --- Uli-Shade_Cloak(0?) at Fury_of_the_Fallen

Uli's:

ITEM --- Monarch_Wings(2?) at Fury_of_the_Fallen
ITEM --- Arcane_Egg-Shade_Cloak at Fury_of_the_Fallen
ITEM --- Shade_Cloak(2?) at Fury_of_the_Fallen

I just did another v0.1.6 multiworld with a different friend yesterday without issue, so it doesn't seem like this is a generic issue with v0.1.6. Has anyone encountered problems like this before, or does anyone have any ideas on how to possibly fix them?

EDIT: We got it working today, this time we made sure to only have one person click start game. Not 100% sure if that was the root cause (didn't try going back and having both people click start to see if that causes the problem to show up again) but it seems to be working fine now.

Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to be precise in describing the problem.

[hybrid tusk]

can some one give me the lick to download the mod

oh nvm

[modern cedar]

how do i turn these on/off? clicking them does nothing/clicks on the customknight buttons in the background

[pliant lantern]

F1 enables / disables the debug menu. AFAIK, you can't disable that panel alone- it's just there when the debug menu is open

[modern cedar]

no i just mean like... to turn invincibility on, that part of the menu looks like a bunch of buttons but i can't press any of them

[pliant lantern]

If you're only having problems with one friend, then I would assume that that friend has something wrong. My guess would be one of the 3 files maybe not being correct? (maybe they only replaced the rando file, and not the other two?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gloomy coral]

technically you can't disable that only but you can hide everything (to hide that pannel) and unhide the other stuff like binds and enemies

[pliant lantern]

You have to bind them in the Binds section. Unfortunately, those weren't made as clickable buttons for some reason

Just be careful when Binding, because it's really easy to click the wrong Bind button (like, the buttons are slightly larger than the text, so the kinda mis-align as it gets lower)

[modern cedar]

thanks! hopefully i manage

[pliant lantern]

And read the console output as you bind stuff

[pliant venture]

he tried redownloading the package and reinstalling it multiple times, and I'd be surprised if it let him connect at all if he got an old version or something. but I'll keep trying with others and see if it keeps happening, just wanted to capture my experiences here in case others have run into it

i mean, when I ran this yesterday with someone else, it wouldn't let us start the game at all until we'd updated to v0.1.6 (as expected)

[noble oracle]

I still don't know why

[gloomy coral]

did you ever pirate the game?

[thorn merlin]

what is GODump, on krita ?

[noble oracle]

yes, but i bought it after, is there no turning back?

[vernal rain]

<#archived-modding-help message>

[uncut hound]

How do I use Italy's modified GODump?

[wide glade]

disable MoreSaves, it interferes with the top menu. Alternatively bind the cheats to hotkeys.

[modern cedar]

thanks, will do

[pliant lantern]

If you're not familiar with GODump at all, then look up the github page for it (or the normal mod in the GDrive). There's a readme with instructions on how to use it.
Italy's version just makes sure that the images work in Krita, because Krita is weird about transparency

[pliant lantern]

Wait, is MoreSaves really why some of the buttons aren't clickable in debug? It's literally just 1 menu of them (the "Cheat" ones), but the bindings work fine. I assumed that that was intentional for some reason. wild

[pliant lantern]

I haven't tested it, but what I'm wondering is if the new person added the RandomizerMod3.0.dll, but maybe forget to update the other two? I'm unsure if it checks that all three files are correct.

[pliant venture]

that's what I was wondering as well, which is why I made sure to get screenshots of both my mod folder and his at one point while going through all these cycles of reinstalling/relaunching/retesting:
mine: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/816380691536150589/819354919839465542/unknown.png
his: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/816380691536150589/819355109627658250/unknown.png

note the identical timestamps on all the rando MW DLLs, it really looks to me like they were all installed correctly as far as I can tell

[wide glade]

are you running an up to date version of the server too?

[pliant venture]

using the dedicated server

[wide glade]

as in the publicly hosted one?

[pliant venture]

yeah, and that worked fine for me yesterday

[pliant lantern]

Hmm

[abstract shale]

is benchwarp actually out of date or is my installer broken?

[pliant lantern]

Idk if Column has a preferred method of being asked about stuff like that. I'm unsure what else could cause that kind of issue though, unless it's just the server donking up. Like, I know that it can donk up. I'm not sure if the server is doing anything else now other than just continuing to check players' saves against each other.

[pliant lantern]

Benchwarp did update a few days ago

It now has a WIP/Beta feature

[abstract shale]

i just reinstalled the modinstaller currently pinned but it still says its out of date

[pliant venture]

i was curious if there was a way to have column check server logs or something to try and find out more about what was going on, but idk if he'd want to be pinged over something like this, or have ideas on more experiments we could run

[abstract shale]

WIP?

ah

[pliant lantern]

I know there's been some big MWs on the Racing server. Idk if anyone there knows more about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pliant lantern]

It being Benchwarp? or ModInstaller?

[abstract shale]

modinstaller

[pliant lantern]

Did you click the orange square?

||If not, then you should||

[abstract shale]

oh i see now

earlier it was bugging out

everytime i clicked it, it did nothing

[pliant lantern]

It does do a thing, it just doesn't communicate it

[abstract shale]

this time it changed from orange

[pliant lantern]

It doesn't tell you that it's downloading stuff- it just does it in the background. If you have slower internet, then you need to slowly click things.
One day, I'll notice new changes on stuff before commenting about them lol

[abstract shale]

gotcha, thanks

[wide glade]

the new version in the latest pin should prevent you from clicking too fast, and has a progress bar on downloads

[abstract shale]

i actually just noticed that

[opal perch]

Hi who knows how to solve delayed inputs?

I already set everything to the lowest quality and set v sync to off

one day meaning whenever i stop procrastinating and properly implement it in benchwarp and rando

[vague spoke]

i just want the benchwarp mod, I installed normal but its not working

[fair briar]

That it isnt in mods doesnt mean its not there

It shoyld be in the pause menu

[vague spoke]

I've rested on more than one bench since I installed the mod

[fair briar]

If you have modcommon also

[vague spoke]

but this tab it is in pause menu

[fair briar]

Pause your screen and sent screen

Shot

[fair briar]

In game

And full screen

[vague spoke]

ok

[iron laurel]

a better way is to go to the main menu and screenshot upper right

I mean left

[iron laurel]

reboot the game

[fair briar]

Ok so nothing

[iron laurel]

also make sure you downloaded ModCommon

[vague spoke]

ok

okok

[fair briar]

If that diesnt work: go to saves and delete the files with moddig api in them

[vague spoke]

installed modCommon and still the same

ok

[fair briar]

BENCHWARP FIX: If you are using Benchwarp Mod and no mod text shows up in the top left of your title screen: Follow the above steps, but for step 2, delete "Benchwarp.GlobalSettings" files instead.

In pins

[iron laurel]

@vague spoke

[fair briar]

Yea but there are no mods on the screen

Im not an expert tho

And on his screen are not even those files

[iron laurel]

@vague spoke could you perhaps send us a screenshot of the title screen?

[vague spoke]

ok

[iron laurel]

you don't have any mods

they should appear on the upper lef

[vague spoke]

yet

and modCommon too

[fair briar]

.

[iron laurel]

either disable and reenable or reinstall

[fair briar]

Use installer 2

[vague spoke]

[iron laurel]

They are in the pins

Also there too

[vague spoke]

just check both boxes and its done?

[fair briar]

benchwarp, modding api, modcommon

then send a screen of main menu

[fair briar]

wth

[vague spoke]

all 3 checked

[fair briar]

where did you buy hk?

[vague spoke]

steam

direct on steam

[fair briar]

go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight

and see if theres a folder called 'mods'

[vague spoke]

the folder mods its inside the folder managed

move it to "hollwo knight" folder?

[fair briar]

what is in the folder

no

[fair briar]

what

go to steam and press 'verify intergity'

[wide glade]

why is unityplayer.dll in mods 🥴

that should be in the top level HK folder

[vague spoke]

it is too '-'

[fair briar]

delete the unityplayer.dll in mods

then delete and reinstall the modding api

[wide glade]

did you do this

[vague spoke]

ohh

i think you just solved

[fair briar]

yay

[vague spoke]

😆

[fair briar]

so it was the modding api

[vague spoke]

ye

[fair briar]

idk why it was there

[vague spoke]

kkkk

ty so much sz

[fair briar]

np

[vague spoke]

ty everyone that helped too

[unique kite]

How difficult would it be to change up some animations or frames?

[fair briar]

ask in #archived-modding-development

[unique kite]

ok then

[lament tree]

wait is the modinstaller broken?

[ivory aurora]

Wdym?

What's the problem you're having

[wide glade]

i think it is, try modinstaller2

[lament tree]

i meant as in is there a new one and why

[stone hornet]

so I downloaded mod installer2 from here but when I am in it trying to enable the mods it says that modding API and the only mod I have are both out of date.

[lament tree]

also i got this when i tried installing the new one

[novel bronze]

tap on more info and click on run

[wide glade]

click the out of date box to update them then

[tribal stump]

hi is there a mod that only boss can see hp?

[ivory aurora]

Wdym

[fluid plover]

i think he means boss health bars?

[tribal stump]

ye sir

[fluid plover]

if so then there is an enemy health bar mod

[tribal stump]

yes but is there only for boss?

[fluid plover]

no, i dont think so

EnemyHPBar is the mod for all enemies

[tribal stump]

is there an option that i can turn it on/off in game?

[fluid plover]

idk

maybe

[tribal stump]

thanks im going to find out

[novel bronze]

i just installed the modinstaller 2 and found the path of the game, what should i do now?

[fair briar]

wait a sec

[tribal stump]

run the mod installer 2 and download ur mod u like

its ez like 1 2 and 3

[fair briar]

i will look

[tribal stump]

@fair briar thanks ruttie

[fair briar]

you can always just delete the textures for the enemy hp bar but not for the bosses

[tribal stump]

yah thats only i need the boss hp bar

[novel bronze]

when i open it it just closes in front of me

[tribal stump]

@novel bronze

i will look like this

[fair briar]

the only way is to go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomHPBar and delete everything without boss in the name

i think

not sure tho

never tried it lol

[real jacinth]

Should be a settings file where your saves are

[novel bronze]

this is the opnly thing i can see before it crashes

[tribal stump]

@fair briar can i edit file manually?

[fair briar]

yeah i looked but i couldn't find a option for no normal hpbars

[fair briar]

wdym

[real jacinth]

Put the installer on your desktop

[wide glade]

are you on steam, gog or microsoft store/xbox game pass version?

[fair briar]

or can you just set the hpbars scale to 0

[novel bronze]

xbox

i know it's kinda hard

but i'm trying

[tribal stump]

@fair briar ok let me try that

[wide glade]

i did already say this in #randomizer:

you can't mod on xbox game pass version, windows protects the files
you either need to get it on gog (half off rn i believe), steam, or dual boot with linux to remove the file protection

[novel bronze]

maybe i'm gonna try with linux dual boot

[tribal stump]

@fair briar how can i edit that ?

[fair briar]

did you go to that folder

then delete the files without boss in the name

[tribal stump]

Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomHPBar

[fair briar]

or just place them elsewhere

[tribal stump]

but i dont see the file name CustomHPBar

[gloomy coral]

It's a folder

Screenshot where your are rn

[gloomy coral]

Open tha game and close it

Then go this folder again

[silver oasis]

hi

my mod installer not working

can anybody help me?

[tribal stump]

@gloomy coral ok thank you

[gloomy coral]

What happens when you open it?

Where did you get the installer from?

[silver oasis]

nexus

[tribal stump]

@silver oasis dont download mods there

heres are official

[gloomy coral]

Delete that

[silver oasis]

ok

[gloomy coral]

?I would download the correct one from here

[dense shuttle]

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

[tribal stump]

trust me man the last time i use nexus mods i need to reinstall the game hahaahahahahh

[ivory aurora]

Damn, nice formatting

[silver oasis]

I didn't know, thanks for speaking

got thanks for the help

[tribal stump]

ohhhh yeah thank you guys

hahahahaha

it reinstall it when i delete it

@gloomy coral any suggestion ?

@fair briar the mods reinstall it self when i delete it 😆

[gloomy coral]

it makes sense

what you could do is replace the ones you dont want with transparent images

[tribal stump]

i think i need app for doing that

[jaunty bobcat]

I need help getting mods to work in hollow knight. One day everything is working fine, the next thing i know my game just refuses to load mods.

I tried the new modinstaller2 thing, it didnt really help. I also attempted to manually install the mods and i'm not really sure i even did it right to be honest

I really need some help here

[tribal stump]

@jaunty bobcat maybe try to reinstall the game and download the new mod installer 2

[jaunty bobcat]

I've tried that a bunch of times already lol, but ill try it again

[last arrow]

How do I use Krita for sprites/ custom skins

[jaunty bobcat]

Ok i reinstalled HK on steam and then launched the Modinstaller 2, It's already telling me that Modding API is out of date

[wide glade]

correct

update it

[jaunty bobcat]

Ok

[tribal stump]

👍 it should be work now

[jaunty bobcat]

I installed benchwarp mod just to test it, and it wont load the mod. And when i go to Start Game screen it gives me this

[tribal stump]

@jaunty bobcat that wierd

[pliant venture]

thanks for the help with my multiworld issue yesterday, pinging to let you know we ran more experiments today and got it working; I'm beginning to suspect the root cause was that multiple people were clicking "start game" instead of just one, since the first time we tried just having one person click start, everything worked fine. (I missed that part the first time I read the user guide.) Updated my original post in case others run into similar issues in the future.

[jaunty bobcat]

It's not just Benchwarp mod, pretty much any mod i try to load does it

Either that or it just gives me the vanilla game unmodded

[last arrow]

How do I use Krita for sprites/ custom skins

[languid junco]

i would imagine you would just need to export the skins into krita, edit them, then import them back into the game/mod folder

How viable is it to add mods on top of the multyplayer mod? (hollow point, custom knight, etc)

[ivory aurora]

Customknight will display everyone for you with the selected skin

They'll still see you with default skin

[wide glade]

go to save files, delete all files w/ moddingapi.globalsettings in their name
