is there a specific mod that causes that? Also, do you still want the log considering it seems to be working?
having troubles with the multiplayer mod and specifically the shade soul spell being a "dud" in a sense (where it does the animation but no soul is used and no shade soul projectile is cast). Any fixes besides uninstalling?
When did you download the modinstaller?
?I Delete that and redownload it from the link below
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
read this message
anyone know a fix?
they dont and i dont either
oh
There's not a specific mod- it's a quirk with some systems/controllers and the moddingApi
You may want to check with the multiplayer mod server (there's a link to it in fireb0rn's guide to the mod). That's not an issue I've heard of, but they would be more knowledgeable.
At any rate, the first thing I would try would be to have all players close their game, then re-open them and reconnect (host first, ofc).
we did that but it seems to be something with he mod itself. im in fireborns disc and ill check that server out in a sec its fixed currently but idk if itll come back
The current multiplayer mod has a lot of issues, and they get worse the longer you play. At least one newer one is in development, which hopefully will continue to be supported until it's in a pretty successful state :)
Hi, having issues with modinstaller
Followed those steps and managed to open Modinstaller.exe normaly, but all the mods I had installed are still there when I open the game. Should I uninstall them manualy or is there a simple way?
(Win10, game bought through steam v1.4.3.2, Mod manager v8.7.1)
Already did that
No success
Feels like the 'new' Modinstaller has nothing to do with the previous one
?
and if you're just trying to go back to vanilla, leave the installers alone and verify game file integrity in steam/GoG
so.... to me this means you have 2 game installs
or you set up the installer to the wrong file location
Wow
the issue was I had an external HDD that i forgot to unplug after backing up, and modinstaller used its path to hollow knight as the default (I didn't double check it, my b). Reinstalled and its fine now
thx Mickely, nice call
Is there a way to give skins icons?
?
In some of the folders of skins I have, there is a file called icon.png but I dont know what it does
nothing?
don't think that does anything
or if it does, you have to use the customknight dll that came with that whole pack
Oh
my mods arent working
unfortunate
does anyone know how to help
not with zero info
Do you have modcommon?
i will show you whats happening
Iirc I've read that as old version of Custom Knight used icons too, but that removed.
thanks
I appreciate that you still have this lol
umm
more info -> run anyways
hey how do i change the way my ghost looks
ok thanks
how to edit charm stats?
#archived-modding-development I guess
@halcyon narwhal Fwiw, problems with the installer should be in here, so as not to clog-up #modding-discussion .
After downloading the new Installer, did you move it to your Desktop, and try launching it as an Administrator?
tried that just now and i get the same results
Also, what OS are you on?
And have you changed anything since the last time you used the Installer? (Did you make a copy of the game, or change harddrive, or opt into the beta updates?)
Im windows 10
the only thing I did to hollow knight was copy the game and downpatch it to do some stuff on older patches
but those havent effected the original install
hi im trying to learn unity and playmaker, is there anyway to view the hollow knight fsms so I can see how they set up certain things?
nevermind, you're magic. i tried running it as admin after you told me, not the first time i tried, and it works
@zinc juniper Check the pins in #archived-modding-development , and if you don't see anything helpful, ask there
thx
Im getting this error while trying to open Modinstaller (version 1 in Windows). It has worked before. Anyone know how to fix it?
Pressing Quit obviously quits the application, and pressing Continue just opens a bugged Modinstaller as just a blank window
I tried changing the permission for that file, still getting the same error. Also running as admin doesn't help
So I've tried to open the Mod Installer after a week or two, it opens the Mod Installer Updater, then instantly closes. In the folder I store the Mod Installer in, is a new app called "AU.exe". It's properties list it as "ModInstallerAutoUpdater". Deleting this AU.exe, deleting the Mod Installer, and deleting all the mods manually has not fixed the issue. Could anybody help?

how do i get sekiro thunder wolf skin
Skin icons have been disabled as they were causing problems
that feature was removed due to lag
how do i get this skin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwaH8Z6Nd7Q
A new skin made by Lazycat (TWP), but as it's a private skin there won't be links about how to download it here. The knight was made with the theme of Sekiro, and the effects with the theme of Thunder Wolf. This vedio was made by Lazycat, and reprinted by authorization. You can find it here. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17a4y1x7bb
According...
The challenge for this skin I don't believe has been released.
But you can check.
Over in the pins for #modding-discussion
I'm sorry, how can i change the directory of mod installer 2?
There's a link in the pins
OH THANKS
any solution to this problem when installing modinstaller. Can't find hk in the usual steam/commons placement
Go into steam, right click hollow knight, press properties, there you should see the path which it is installed to

...
I cannot open modinstaller1/2
have you tried restarting the game?
Hmm no
did it work?
Make sure the host goes in first, then the others
yes i have goes first (i am the host)
@pale plume you might wanna try a newer version of the Multiplayer mod that I have been working on, it's a lot more stable in my opinion. Here is the Github repo: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
work like the normal multiplayer mod?
It offers multiplayer if that is what you mean. Some things are slightly different and it contains more features.
ok
how do i clear my browser file cache 🥴
Look it up?
how do i fix this if anyone knows
if i try to instal a mod it says its succesfully installed and this doesnt change
follow instructions to reset modinstaller in the pins
Ok
so um, i followed the instructions yet the installer still refuses to open, it tries to load and then stops entirely
Where did you get the installer
top message of pins
Does it show any messages?
no
Are you on windows?
ye
Where is the installer located on your device?
downloads
Try moving it to your desktop
still not working
Is the game currently open
no
Try right clicking it and clicking run as administrator

Hello, how do I use debug
what is the HollowPoint ReadMe
i lost the customknight default folder can someone sned me it?
I can't access it
What does it say?
Wdym
thx
Read this
Doesn’t hollow point’s readme on the installer work now?
If it’s saying there isn’t an app to open it, just select to open it with notepad
Press f1
i lost the customknight default folder can someone send me it?
Uninstall and reinstall the mod
oh ok thanks
Hello, I have a question . I just installed yesterday mod installer and started to use debug. However,I don’t know why always appears on my laptop screen when I’m playing, I’m not really sure but I think to the options are supposed to hide while I’m playing . It’s there like an issue or something that I can do to fix that I’ll really appreciate the help
Press F1
Oh ok thank you very much @limber egret . You are best
I can agree with that 💜
HollowPoint keeps updating the same update over and over
Question: what're the hotkeys for turning invisible and taking away the UI in debug mod? Also, when you're invisible, enemies can't hurt you, right?
f1 and no if you are invisible you're not invincable
there's a different button for invincibility
Alrighty. Is there an easy resource for all the hotkeys?
It's on the screen
In the keybinds menu
Click the page box to go through the pages
when I use the Pure Vessel skin the geo turns invisible
Is there a hotkey for taking away the UI? It's not on the list.
using debug, one of the buttons above the arrow keys
Pageup and Pagedown seem to take away the vignette, but I don't want to hit Delete until I know what I'm doing.
Oop. It's delete.
Thanks guys. 😄
Not actually a question involving mods but I got sent here regardless: Has anyone had a problem with this game insisting on using your integrated GPU on top of a dedicated one?
I thought vanilla Qs went to #hk-help .
That being said, I have the majority of channels (including that one) hidden, so 
yeah thats where I was sent from hah
I have read of that being a general issue regardless, not just from HK, but from many games in general
Honestly I didn't plan on asking on the disc but I cant find anyhting online
ye saw that otherwise i would have sent you there too
hmm maybe I should do a more general search
First result in google
lol
yeah it is set my man
the issue is that regardless of what graphics card its set on, it still uses the integrated one on top of the dedicated one
I get activity in both, regardless of what anything is set to priority-wise
this is in pretty much all facets too: nvidia control panel, steam, whatever the right-clicking on the .exe one sends me to
hello guys
would anyone have an idea about what could cause this error ?
should i check if a mod is not working by disabling them one by one ?
or would it be a specific error from "weaver mod" ?
Copy the geo.png(name might slightly different) from the "default" skin into the pure vessel skin folder.
Also, switch skins in a room without enemies (ideally a small room, like a stag station).
The Geo fails to load for a variety of reasons, and switching in a small empty room seems to consistently prevent it from breaking in my experience.
Will do, thank you
Are any of your mods actually not working?
A screen shot of the full main menu is more helpful. I'm unfamiliar with weaver core dependant mods in general, but I know there was some updates related to them a week or two ago, fwiw
Iirc you can also set your default card in your bios. Other than that, I would just recommend looking up more possible fixes. I know minecraft is a game where a lot of people have that issue, and there's a lot of discussions for fixes specifically "for minecraft", but they apply to anything.
maybe i shouldn't load infernogrimm and infinitegrimm at the same time ?
infernogrimm seems to be the one mod dependant on weavercore
Nothing appeared to fail to load, so I wouldn't worry about it unless something doesn't work right.
hmm... the game did start
but the red error message stays on the screen
maybe there is a shortcut to hide weaver mod console
errr
Well, that error of probably from mod console
Iirc The console stays on the screens
no way to hide it ?
is any mod dependant on it then ? or should i just uninstall console mod ?
Afaik it's for testing stuff. If you're not testing anything, then don't enable the mod :P
Appreciate the help 🙂
Hello. Newbie to modding here. I’m having problems with the Custom Knight mod. Apologies for the long post…
I’ve installed ModInstaller on my Mac and I can see it works with the other mods I’ve installed so far.
HK is installed in the standard Mac Steam directory and the CustomKnight dll and image folder are installed like this:
—>hollow_knight_Data
—>Managed
—>Mods
—>CustomKnight
—>Default
—>[26 png files]
—>[folders for other skins e.g. CustomKnight 3]
—>CustomKnight.dll
I ran ModInstaller to install the dll but when I ran the game and open the menu, I see no options to change the skin.
I’ve been following a guide on Steam, which includes a video (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2301964840). The guide says there should be 8 ‘sprite sheets’ in the Default folder, and I have no idea what a sprite sheet is but I’m guessing they’re the pngs in which case the 8 specified are included in the 26 mentioned above. In the video, they start a save file, open the menu, and the skin mod is on the left. When I perform the same steps the mod doesn’t appear at all.
I didn’t see any extra information in the readme.
Does anyone know of anything I may have missed or screwed up the file path for? Any help would be much appreciated!
The folders for other skins need to be in the CustomKnight folder
Actually, if nothing's showing up, you need to install Modding API and Modcommon from the installer as well
no apologies needed, we appreciate having all necessary info 
Ah, silly me. The additional skins are in the CustomKnight folder - I added too many spaces when I was typing out the file structure! Edited.
Hmm... ModInstaller shows they were installed when I ran it initially, but I'll uninstall and reinstall to see whether it makes a difference.
hi, how do I use a controller WITH mods?
hello!
where is the multiplayer mod
or the multiplayer.ddl
dll**
the client and the server
Modinstaller
Ok so what's the problem?
isnt there an actual mod for it like a separte mod?
For what?
to play multiplayer?
I don't get your question
Did you read the pinned messages?
"Multiplayer Procedure", fourth pinned message from top
so after i download both of those what am i supposed to do
ohhhh
ok 1 sec
ok its working
thank yoiu
.
caaaaaaan... someone reply to me?
You start the game
Wait only 26 in the Default?
The dll goes in a different spot on mac than windows
Skin png folders should be in this spot on mac
Oh yea forgot about that 
Got an issue, that I'm guessing is Custom Knight related?
Whenever I play Pantheon 5, at some point, Vengeful Spirit stops working and won't work until I restart the game, until some point it stops working again.
I've only been using Custom Knight since today, all the other times I've played with mods on I've been using ModCommon, Modding API, MoreSaves and the two Multiplayer Mods.
I might need to double check if that it is Custom Knight related by not using it next time I play
(I've figured it out, the conflict of mods used together was to do with the MoreSaves and another one on the list, so I uninstalled MoreSaves)
It's probably multiplayer
Custom knight does not touch the code for spell function at all.
Ah alright
how2make custom knight skins
its definitely not customknight
redraw these sprites
the ones u redraw will change
Make a custom folder so you can switch between the different ones
lol
You can also install ones that others have made
@ivory aurora
I have these: Baldur, Birthplace, Cloak, DreamArrival, Dreamnail, Fluke, Geo, Grimm, Hatchling, Hornet, Hud, Icon, Knight, OrbFull, Quirrel, Shield, Shriek, Sprint, Unn, VoidSpells, VS, Weaver, Webbed, Wings, Wraiths.
@real jacinth
The customknight dll is in the same place as all the other working mod dlls on my machine - in the Mods folder. Maybe that's wrong, but I'd assume the ModInstaller wouldn't recognise it if it were? :/ Are you able to point me in the right direction?
@spring bane
Thanks for pointing out an error in the file path - I corrected my post to show the correct structure 🙂 Uninstalling and reinstalling both the API and ModCommon made no difference, unfortunately 😦
Damn, I like you
So you're missing... all the charms, I guess?
That should be 47 missing
Hm
Then another four, I think
Not sure
Wow, I'm missing quite a lot! Hmm... Maybe I somehow downloaded an old version... I will check.
no, do what mickley said for the filepath, i forgot it was different on mac
you don't need all the spritesheets for stuff to work! if it's still not working, must be sth else
I said what I was trying to say very poorly. The customknight dll should be put in the right spot by the installer, but the sprite sheet folders should not be next to the dll files
on windows, it does go by the dll files, but on mac it does not
the sprite sheets need to be at the location in the screenshot I posted
Oh, cool. Thanks. I'll do that and give it a try 🙂
what
at first when u download mod installer
it says put the path
for hollow knight
where will i find that
yes. so you select where your game is
yes where will i find that
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I can't tell you where you installed the game on your pc
do you have it on steam?
yeye
right click the game -> properties -> local files -> browse
that should take you to where your game files are
You can also check the pinned comments [deleted] @dense kraken
I installed it today following this. minus weird Mac issues for custom skins it's worked well.
has anyone tried to replace environment textures?
can't really endorse things that aren't from this discord
but pins will have appropriate instructions/information
Oh, fair enough. I'll delete that then 🙂 didn't realise it was a rule.
not really a rule for non-staff
you can post what you want, but if it doesn't originate from us or this discord, it can't be considered.... current or super reliable
it might work, but it's second hand info
That makes sense 🙂
yeah. wasn't an attack on you. sry if it came off that way
was just trying to say that "official" info will be from this discord/pins
Nah, didn't come off as an attack - i'm very new to this discord and want to follow the rules, is all 🙂 No need to make waves less than an hour after the first post 😄

@real jacinth Thanks a lot for your help - it works now. My computer is still somewhat of a mystery to me, so it took a while to work out where the Contents folder was 😁 But it's done and now my knight is pink. Happy days! 
Woo, bravo!
I need that, the skin separated can't help me about where I have to place my bees
I cant disable the mods it just crashes the mod software when I do
i have that with some mods, i think it might be because it's needed for other mods to work, but i dont know much of this
Don't use that. If you want the mods, install it. If you don't want it, uninstall it
when i tried to run modinstaller i got the error "Sequence contains no matching element"
Read the first pinned message
i tried that
try using modinstaller 2
ok
i accidentally set load save state to mouse0 (left click) how to i set it to something else?
Check the pins

Hello again. So I have several mods installed now (yay) but my controller doesn't work. I was testing the mods using keyboard.
The pinned comment says that the most consistent way to get round this is to plug the controller in after the game has loaded. Unfortunately, my controller is bluetooth and I don't have a cable. I tried switching off bluetooth, loading the game and then switching it on again, but it made no difference.
Has anyone else got a different technique that they've found has helped? Unlikely, I know, but I have to ask before I start uninstalling things 
how do i heal with hollowpoint?
constistantly shoot things without getting hit and without using adrenaline
you have to get max adrenaline then it will start healing after that
does anyone know how to re-choose the direction to the game in mod installer 2 ?
also the starter gun doesn’t shot
it should be like cast or something that switches from nail to gun, and then the attack button to shoot (when gun equipped)
or it's not installed correctly
read the readme
i installed the modcommon
okay quick question, when im in the game sometimes my vengful spirit will just not fire any options to fix this?
even with only QoL it happens
seems like running QoL causes Enemy Randomizer to stop working, is this a known issue? didn't realize they might not be compatible.

oh well that's interesting, pulling QoL out and running causes Enemy Randomizer to once again function, and now it's fine with it loaded back in. wonder if there's another sort of conflict here.
lets see if i can reproduce that broken state
my problem still happens with QoL off, maybe something to do with modcommon? anyone know?
doesn't seem related to QoL, just something else finicky with that mod in particular
suppose this is somewhat unrelated with modding support, but while i'm knee deep in logs and debugging
hollow knight doesn't really have a way to select a particular audio device to output to, does it?
if you give a complete picture of what your machine/game state is, people could actually help you
no. outputs to default
lame, well guess i can "trick" it by setting the audio device i want to default before starting, and switching back. but that feels like it should just be a modern game thing at this point. oh well.
oh trust me, i'm sure i've seen worse
are you sure you're sure
Hello, I've been using the nucleus coop mod but now when I try to open hollow knight through steam it opens in windowed mode instead of fullscreen
Any ideas how to fix?
nucleus?
alt + enter forces the game to fullscreen
nucleus is a split screen coop app layer iirc
not technically a mod but go ahead
senior devops engineer thats been involved in a fair number of hack-a-thons and game jams.. trust me :P
bwahahah
thank youuu
have you seen worse code from a muti year game that's had millions in income and had contractors back out from awful code?
they literally tried to hire a team to get switch release out the door, and they backed out
cuz it was so bad
is Mod Installer 2 the planned way forward? was finding myself tempted to do a Pull Request or two with the first one to polish out a few annoyances. as much as i think it's fun that i can click and drag the window, and have it "buffer" the movement to play in slow motion.
feel free to do prs to either, both are currently used
PRs to either can be done by anyone
excellent, i'll look into that later
Can i get some help, The Mod Installer Wont Detect the game i have images if required.
where did you buy the game
Steam
follow the instructions in the pins to reset the installer
after a random time of playing, my spells wont work. the animations still play as if its working but they wont come out. ive tried deleting all the mods i had and it still happens
multiplayer mod?
thats stilll on
that's whats causing it 
thanks a lot to the coders behind that mod installer and the debug mode, you guys are godsent for the speedrunning community and the guys holding the foundation of it!!
I just started using the deathcounter and room rando mods and now my nail can't deal damage. Reloading and deleting saves doesn't fix it, and niether does quitting out
Ive been launching with mods all day but suddenly after restarting my pc if I try to launch with any mod it either fails to load or crashed the game
i cant use the mod installer for some reason, every time i try to use it, it has wierd effects and makes the game unplayable. Firstly, the mod installer doesnt load when the game opens. Second, none of my save files ever show up, and instead perpetually load (see screenshot). There are no mods shown as installed on the top left corner of the title screen, and if you try to go into the mods tab in options the game will softlock.
I have tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling the launcher, validating files and even deleting the game outright in the steamapps>common folder. If i disable the launcher, the game runs normally without mods. I have no mods installed.
If anyone has had this problem before let me know!
Thanks!
what do we do if our mod installer isnt opening
first pin
no
mod save data is kept in save files themselves
mod settings are kept in their own settings files
Thanks for the help! It works fine now.
hey I already bought hollow knight and now how do I change the path to the mods?
???
so buy it
is already bought
...
> hey I already bought hollow knight [...]
> I didn't already buy it
> is already bought
pick one?
the first
if you were caught pirating then bought the game, follow instructions to reset the installer in the pins
if you still haven't bought the game and are lying, buy the game
I already bought it :/
follow instructions to reset the installer in the pins
Custom knight
okey
Then download the daughter of hollowness skin
Can you use the mod loader on GForce?
I’d assume so yes
Where did you buy the game from?
Steam
Then you can use it
i want this skin too ! i'll do any challenge for it
When I use Sharp Shadow and I break multiple objects in the game with it my game gets a major lag spike, and when I dash through ||Failed Champion's shockwave|| attacks my game freezes for a whole 5 seconds before coming back. I have a good computer so I thought maybe it would have something to do with a mod somehow? I have QoL, Unofficial Hollow Knight Patch, and CharmOverhaul enabled
Hello, how do I reopen debug menu
F1
Check pins
can someone help me with hollow knight mutiplayer i am having some trouble
check the pins
does anyone know how i can set hotkeys for debug mod so i don't have to pause the game every time i need to adjust something?
oh
I tohught it was the other way around
😔
the RNG I have gotten is truly cursed
On item randomizer, the third seer item that you need essence for soft locks my game
Idk why
I’m trying to access spoiler log to see if it’s anything important or not, how can I access spoiler log on Mac
For some reason, when I try to change something in the modinstaller 2 for mac, it immediately crashes. Anybody know what to do?
It lets me download new mods, but whenever I try to change something already ticked, it crashes.
nvm
figured it out.
I was trying to click on out of date mods. I needed to update them first.
Is there a way to modify easymode so that maybe only the no shade thing is active, or is there a mod that only removes the shade? Something like that?
is there a mod that shows all item/boss locations on map
If you're playing randomizer, then there is- but it doesn't work without randomizer on.
If you're not using Randomizer, then you can check out:
https://scripterswar.com/hollowknight/map
It's not a mod, but it does have everything.
Some mods have a configurable file located in the folder that your saves are in. I've never ran with easy mode, and I can't check this moment, but that's where it'd be if it does have that ability. I didn't see anything about it in the readme though, so I'd lean towards thinking that it doesn't. I'm not aware of any other mods that remove shades either. I think if you want that feature, you may have to make it yourself 
Assuming it's the same as on Windows, your spoiler log should be in your save file folder
?saves

As far as seer not working though, that's really weird. Did you start the run, then change anything about your mods before resuming?
@pliant lantern thanks, no I haven’t touched the mods since starting the run. I think I’ll just hope that that seer item is like a wanderers journal
I think it’s a mask shard
So not useless, but not too useful
Also I got 2 void hearts (I.e 4 pieces to create void Heart instead of 3) is this normal?
Nvm duplicate major items is on
um i have a problem
my modinstaler is broken and i cant uninstall it cus of some kinda bug

Thx
I'm fairly new to the game but I would like to create some basic cosmetic mod (for the Knight obviously) just for the fun of learning to do something new but I don't know where to start. Are there any guides that could lead me in the right direction?
my friend on mac wanted to uninstall mods (he uses modInstaller 2) but he don't have the button "revert back to unmodded" and if he tries to uninstall mods he can't uninstall modding api.
he is afraid that when he does the final pantheon it wont give to him the archievement
if you have mods installed you can obtain archievements?
are you looking to make customknight skins?
Yes
Yes on Steam
so, you need to download custom knight first
go to this route
copynpaste the default file and rename the file to the skin u want to make
and redraw the sprites
if you want to put the sprites into individual frames and compile them later, refer to this https://youtu.be/B3bV9SFryfg
ENG
You asked me a lot of times how I do skins so I decided to make a video about it.
I used Google Translate because the english is not my language.

what do you need help with
i dont know how to use the mod installer
Thank you

All the information you need is in the pins
Did you get the game on steam?
yes
Go to steam
Right click hollow knight
Click properties
Click local files
Click verify integrity of local files
Don’t open mod installer until you want mods again
Good
That’s supposed to happen
It detected the modded file and is returning it to normal
ok guys to revert to unmodded i just disable all mods including common and api, right?
Just disabling api works
ok, ty
its bugged
Yes but if it asks again ignore
it infinitly updates for some reason
it asks everytime i open
The checksum wasn’t put in right I think
So it always thinks it’s outdated
Yeah, if it happens more than once you can ignore it
i clicked "rever to unmodded" and it said it couldn't find holllow kight files and closed itself
What exactly are you trying to do, sorry?
If you want Hollow Point on, you don't want to do that.
If you want to disable your mods you can just click verify integrity of game files and it will be unmodded.
Opening the installer again will often reenable mods, so don't do that.
I'm trying to install the ModInstaller but it keeps giving me this message
did u use modinstaller 1 or 2
weird
modinstaller can sometimes be weird for mac
where did you get hollow knight?
Steam
does anyone know how to get atomic radiance mod?
Which file did you download?
The charms dont work
Which mods did you download?
1
ok sry lemme ss u
@gloomy coral I downloaded this one
Hmmm pinged 56
what?
it doesnt show on mobile
wtf why doesn't it show on mobile 
I’m on mobile
ah lol
It shows
why doesn't it show on different versions of mobile 
not really sure why you see something different
the @ means you pinged them
Yeah
its a ping reply
Name/color different bc discord didn’t load it yet
wait, there are 2 modinstallers?
ye
does it change something between them?
the ui
what's the modinstaller 2 UI?
its dark them so i use it lol
2 is better for non windows
modinstaller2 is intrinsically accessible on mac, whereas modinstaller1 is build on windows forms, so requires a compatibility layer to run outside of windows
Should I try ModInstaller 1 since ModInstaller 2 isn't working for me?
Yes
they have a mac
^^
If I try to start it it says that it is damaged
mod insteller isn't required tho

iirc you can manually do it
how?
the message says GoG but the only thing that should be different is the hollow_knight.app file path. The steam file path can be found from the above message
thank you
How do you find your saves folder for hollow knight on mac?

The save files aren't there. Only the game icon
open hollow_knight.app
When i click on it, it just tries to open the game, and then it crashes.
Which file are you clicking on?
The only thing inside my hollow knight folder.
Which hollow Knight folder
control click hollow_knight.app and select "Open..."
Hollow Knight.app is game files iirc
oh darn i am dumb 🥴
Its the hollow knight folder inside the Common folder
Do you see a unity.teamcherry.hollow knight
no
Mac File Paths:
Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
Did you go here?

found it
darn theres no config for easy mod
Is there really no other mod that just lets me disable the shade?
Idt there is
ptooie
Did the mod loader update?
I mean the ability that we get from charms dont work (I am newbie)
Which charms?
all
Can you screenshot the charms menu
ok
is there anyway to get the data from my PS4 File, and plug it into a % checker
so I know what the fck went wrong 
this is a pretty good manual checklist i used when i was first finishing the game https://hollowknightchecklist.com/
Have you tried equipping the charms?
yep
at a bench?
hey i have a question, is the hollow knight mod installer still working ?
check first pin if modinstaller1 has broken for you
there was a faulty update that broke further automatic updates
thanks!
i have modinstaller2 and have equipped modding api, now i cant do damage with my nail. and also whenever i turn it off it just crashes and when i uninstall modding api it still is there. how can i get rid of the mod?
Did you use debug mod?
hey uhhh, how do I uninstall the installer?
i used debug mod once or twice
likely set nail damage to 0 using debug
it doesn't "install", just delete the exe
Which nail upgrade do you have?
What mods are required in order to run basically any mod?
i have pure nail
Modding api
Alright thx
it still says the thingy in the top left and it bugs me
if you had the QoL Mod already installed:
- go to save files
- locate userX.json (with X being the save slot number from 1 - 4)
- ctrl+f "nail_Damage"
- set the value to 21
if you don't have the QoL 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 "nail_Damage"
- set the value to 21
- 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
Or you could download debug again and change nail damage
I deleted the exe but it still says it's active :')
What is still active?
that's not the mod installer
that's modding api
you can disable it by verifying game files in steam, or the "revert to unmodded" button in modinstaller1, or by disabling Modding API in modinstaller2
im still trying to figure out how to get to the save file. i have a feeling its something super obvious and im just dumb, but do i open the game or open the game files?

that works thank you

Is there any way to just make there be no shade? I have someone whos trying to play the game, but its a little too hard and they want to get rid of the shade, but the easymode mod makes it easier than they want. Is there anything that could solve this?
Suddenly, none of my saves are working or loading, and the modlist isn't showing up on the top left, is there a solution for this?
6th pin
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
check here
ah thanks
soo a mod I uninstalled a month ago called lightbringer like a month ago is starting to affect me today, it turned my voidheart charm into a ''lightbringer'', I have it uninstalled so I don't understand
is there a way to remove a mod out of a save file
or am I doomed
follow instructions of the first pinned message
mk
'
anyone??
ok, I deleted the file that made my save files unloadable, and now I can't cast vengeful spirit and I'm getting a ton of visual glitches
which files did you remove
which mods did you download
screenshot the main menu
anyways mulhima should I test and see if it's only the name that changed
by killing ||THK||
why do you have a dabbing mod...
idk if it's affecting the game but just why
it's funny for multiplayer I guess
its a multiplayer issue
Mulhima
should I test and see if the charm is normal, just the name a bit.. different?
reinstall multiplayer mod ig
as mulhima said it may be the multiplayer thing
"ModdingApi.GlobalSettings"
@gloomy coral
the instructions you followed fixed the saves problem. the current problem you are facing is a issue with multiplayer mod
you can do it if you want
k, should I ping you with the results?
Can anyone answer my question?
what is your question
no one can if you dont ask it
Is there any way to just make there be no shade? I have someone whos trying to play the game, but its a little too hard and they want to get rid of the shade, but the easymode mod makes it easier than they want. Is there anything that could solve this?
just get good at hitting stuff and the shade won't be a problem
or should I say, GITGUD

I think easy mod removes shade
they said it's too easy with easy mod
and are asking for another mod which removes the shade I think?
yeah
Except manually coding it or just hoping that someone has made a mod like that, I don't think it is possible
would the mod panel work btw?
(mod panel mod)
I'm not sure but Debug Mod might allow you to kill your Shade
I'm using debug mod
I can check if you want
Idk, never used mod panel
it was too confusing for me so I uninstalled it
Yeah, check if you have time
don't see anything about killing a shade
I just noticed a feature I never saw before
setting a spawn
gonna test that after killing the final boss
I know Benchwarp has a "Deploy Bench" Feature, so that might help you until we find a way to solve the problem
I also have bench warp it's very useful for me along with debug
you can warp to any bench by unlocking all benches in settings of it
@quiet flower if you are low on health, you can deploy a bench to heal to full
wait benchwarp has a deploy bench?
I don't see a ''deploy bench'' button unless you mean teleporting to benches
OH I FOUND IT
ima deploy bench infront of final boss
lmfao
You respawn on the deployed banch as well
I don't think being able to put a bench anywhere is exactly what they want. They want something like not having a shade or having save states. They don't want it to be too overpowered.
Anyone know why Benchwarp would be breaking the modinstaller?
When did you download modinstaller?
Isn't putting a bench wherever pretty much the same as save states?
where do i download the mods?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

so i'm coming back to play hollow knight mods again after a long time. i followed the steps in the pinned post, and it was updating all of my old mods, but when it tried to update the item/room randomizer, it crashed with this message. what does this mean, and how can i fix it?
first pin
i followed the steps in the pin already
i am new to the thing about modding and i am on mac and it downloaded and it decompressed the file and it says that it can't open the app because it may be damaged or incomplete
Just to confirm, what steps did you do?
I don't know much about Mac stuff, but make sure this is the installer you're using:
#archived-modding-help message
Does the modding api disable full screen on / off?
no. just the button for it
alt+enter for similar (if not exact same) effect
Hey guys do you know a way to put my health to only 1HP/mask
I need it for a hitless hollow knight playthrough
thanks sfgrenade
hey how do I setup a multiplayer sercer me and my friend did all the steps but it doesent work
do all the steps correctly
im having the same probelm but i did all the steps correctly
I did though I followed every single thing that frireborn tutorial to the dot and have tried it again like 10 times
so, my friend is using modinstaller2 this time but when he open the game, the mods just doesn't load
his OS is windows 10
mods: custom knight, mod common, modding api, multiplayer client
he's playing w steam
That's just the progress bar for loading the mods in the game
Also you should really activate your Windows
check the pins
Can you mod the game on Mac or is it Windows only?
yes
Can you please give me the link to the installer?
check the pins
ok thanks!
okay i'm back at my computer again and trying to do this again. every other mod updates fine, except for this one, which crashes the installer every time. should i install the mod manually?
also i followed all of the steps in the pin
yes but that bar doesn't load
it just stays there
so he can't play
i will tell it to him
i'm just gonna manually install it. where can i find the link to the randomizer 3 mod?

?mods
No, you want Rando 3
Randomizer 3 isn't hosted on the drive.
i can't find it on there?
That's an outdated version several updates behind the one on the installer.
Sure
does anyone have a link to the up-to-date version?
The other option is to grab it from #randomizer
The current version is here: https://github.com/homothetyhk/HollowKnight.RandomizerMod/releases/tag/v3.10(992)
okay cool
i'll give that a shot
nope it's still not working
it asks to update grimmchild upgrades, successfully does that, then gives the crash message
so don't update that
what version do you have of the installer, and where did you put the exe
i have whatever version is linked in the pin, and i put it in a folder that i keep some hollow knight stuff in
what number
what is the version number of it
and you should move the installer to desktop
and run as admin
hi, i need a little help, i don't know if this is supposed to be like that, but a few days ago i got a list of mods and now just this
where can i see the version numebr?
did you move your game
No
i moved it to my desktop and ran it as administrator but it still crashes
did it give any errors when opening it? did you read/do the first pin?
i can't get actually get to the main screen to check the version number, because it crashes before i get there
You should redo the pinned instructions again. just to be sure. and don't skip the step for clearing browser cache
i already redid it including clearing the cache, but i can try it again
Sometimes not open and a program appears on the desktop called "Au"
read the first pin
i redid all of the steps, but it still crashes after grimmchild upgrades
and you said no to updating it?
did you try saying yes?
and you could try that
though I just tried it with grimmchild and it worked fine for me
alright yeah i just tested it again and it crashes either way, so i'll take it out of the folder
nope, now it just gives the error right away
this is so weird
you did the step to clear the installer memory too?
when redownloading?
what version of windows do you have
and you could always try installer 2
check the pins
what's installer 2?
how to download a mod?
check the pins
just a different installer
does the same thing, but might work
where can i get it?
check the pins
no
okay cool i'll give that a try
is it normal for it to take a really long time to launch?
no
hmm
i'm gonna close it and launch the game real quick to see if i just need to run the game first or something
shouldn't matter
it actually did open now
not sure how that helped, but maybe i can get it to work now
once i've picked out the mods i want, do i just launch the game like normal?
aaand my computer’s partially frozen
it’s been having problems anyway though so i doubt hk is the reason
Hello
I found that the Hollow Point Mod in ModInstaller is a bit outdated
Can anyone tell me where to download the 1.0.0.2 version?
?moff
If it asks you to update hollow point, ignore it
why?
Bug
No I mean the latest version of hollow point is 1.0.0.2
but the version installed is 1.0.0.1
would anyone be able to help me with installing the poorly translated mod? it's the only one that's currently giving me an error, and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work based on the advice given to others for the same issue in this channel
that's the error i'm getting. i tried to follow someone else's advice and rename the poorlytranslated zip to poorlytranslated.dll but that gives me the same error, i dont know how to actually change the file type
Iirc 1.0.0.1 Is the current version
But in the change log the latest is 1.0.0.2
open the zip, take the dll out
Where did you download this installer from?
the description of someone's youtube vid, lemme try to find it
also i dont seem to be able to unzip it but i'll try again
8.7.1 is the most recent version, should be fine 
I can still get Steam achievements if all of the mods I installed are disabled, right?
Mods don't affect steam achievements
oh I thought they did
just asking because I didn't want to complete PoH just to not get the achievement, thx
IZarc is telling me the file type is unsupported and won't open it for me
the software i use to unzip files
trying to open the zip
"extract here" doesn't work, just double clicking doesn't work
I just get this error message
Yes. Because it's not a zip
@night mantle download the dll from the link below and put it in the mods folder
It's a dll named as a zip
