If I have a .dll mod right now not in the installer, how do i use it in the game?
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
go to game files /hollow_knight_data/managed/mods
put the dll in there
or if on mac its like content/resources/managed or something 🥴 like that
Yo thanks so much man! I appreciate you doing the mod and telling me how to do this!

But how come when I go to the Hollow knight folder in the common folder, the only thing there is the game icon called "hollow_knight," and not something called "hollow_knight_data"?
There is no folder called hollow_knight_data
screenshot where you are rn
if you're on mac then you need to open the hollow_knight.app file
right click > open... iirc
When I click on the thing called hollow_knight and open it, it tries to open the actual game hollow knight, then it closes.
show package contents
right click on it
oh
Then open resources -> managed -> mods
alright so i found the managed folder, but there is no mods folder
did you open the resources folder?
have you previously run the modinstaller and installed modding api?
yes that is required for all mods
How did the installer work then?
you had the api enabled ig 
the installer automatically installs and enables mods that are needed for other mods to work
so if you download any mod it will also download modding api
it's a windows executable file
there's also a modinstaller 2 for mac in the pins
afaik meaning i don't use linux 
i know for a fact running modinstaller1 in mono should work perfectly fine
No actually
use mono to run mod installer is not fine
it is working but it is slow and laggy
Hi! Sorry, I imagine you’ve heard this a lot.
Just wondering, is there anyway to download mods if you’ve installed HK off the Microsoft store? Or is it steam based only?
Sorry!
-neo
you can't mod in microsoft store version of hk unless you dual boot linux
The readme in the moddingapi folder says to put the contents of the package in the "GoG." What's that?
this?
that's the empty path where the default path for GoG should be 
this pdf shows how to install the api for mac
I read it and it says if i got hollow knight through GoG. I got hollow knight through steam, though. Unless that's unrelated?
its the same except the hollow_knight.app file location
There was a dedicated build of Mod Installer 2 for Linux originally. No idea if the current version has a dedicated build
I have been trying really hard to figure this out, but I'm having a really hard time with it.
what are you having a hard time with?
I'm trying to use a mod for hollow knight on steam, without the use of the modinstaller.
what did you do until now
I downloaded a folder called HollowKnight.Modding-master, but I don't know what to do with it. And every time I go into the game files, it feels like I'm missing a lot of the files sources say should be there.
what is hollowknight.modding-master?
that's the git repo 
oh
use modinstaller2 to install modding api
then install the mod i gave you manually after that
Moddingapi is installed. I'm not sure how to use it to install the mod, though.
place the mod in contents -> resources -> managed -> mods
the mods folder generates when you run the game with modding api installed
That is where it gets weird. In my resources folder, there is no managed folder.
Is it another step in?
screenshot your resources folder
open data folder
now open managed
yee
Just curious, what is that GodlyNightmares mod? I don't remember installing it.
And, If i ever want to play vanilla again, what should I do?
steam -> right click hk -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files
it makes markoth in HoG easier
huh
HoG = hall of gods
Mod Installer 2 is currently a beta/work-in-progress overhaul right?
This exact same thing happened to me. I just reinstalled the ModInstaller as per the pin and like you said, updating Randomizer 3 specifically is the only one giving me this issue. I haven't tried launching the game yet, but I don't see how that would be related to ModInstaller clashing with .NET Framework.
How did you fix this again? Or did you manage to fix it?
which modinstaller version do you have
and does this happen only with randomizer or also with other mods
it is?
Well I thought it was, this specifically #archived-modding-help message
it works normally
So... which is preferred then? The version at https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe or Mod installer 2?
My mod installer when opened tells me an error occurred and does not let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
Where did you source it from? The Nexus?
read the first pinned message
I use the radiance.host installer
if windows -> both work but modinstaller 1 is what more people use
if mac -> modinstaller 2
Ah yeah, indeed the first pinned message should resolve your issue TheChicken.
ok I will try modinstaller 2
His mention of Mod Installer 2 was directed at me, you can keep using Mod Installer 1 if that's your preference, you just need to manually update it per the pinned message.
using modinstaller 2 would also fix the problem
how do y'all fix a white outline around a custom skin with customknight mod?, on the actual knight.png it doesn't have a white outline but in game it's like
posted to the correct channel this time 
you have to edit the knight sprites to do that
it isn't a problem with the mod itself
i mean like on the actual whole spritesheet it looks fine, no white around the edges
see
but in game, theres suddenly a white around the edges, akin to poorly taking the background off an image lol
Wow, I respond fast, huh? It's ModInstaller 1 and yes, it is just this mod, just like the guy I replied to
try using modinstaller 2
u cant savestate in the middle of the fight with absradd?
Yea, the mod seems to have updated fine! Running the game now
Yup, seems to run great, thanks. Any idea what MI1 would freak out like that? It seemed to handle all the mods just fine
nope
sadd
use debug mod's increase nail damage + invincibilty to get to the later phases quicker
yeah i tried that but absrad its slow haha, anyway its better than reaching phase 6 normally
how to download modinstaller 2
check pins
How to do Multiplayer on hollow knight

The pins have the rest of what you need to do also
The fourth pin is the rundown on how to use the currently most common multiplayer mod.
At least one new one is being developed, but idk which one is currently "best" at this exact moment.
Fireb0rn has a tutorial on the commonly used one as well
Wait, why Hamachi?
becuz its easier
also you have to set up port forwarding locally
if you want you can do port fowarding
and exposing your public ip to any rando you play with is potentially 🥴 but you do you ig
Which ports (and UDP/TCP)? or does it support UPnP?
25690 iirc, should be UDP unless whoever made it had an extremely 🥴 day making it
Thanks,
guys can someone send the link of the installer
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
wha?
am ı gonna delete the installer
ok
deleting the installer does not uninstall any mods, fwiw
second what do you want to delete
try restarting your game
modding api?
ye
you want that gone?
ye
idk if that works probably
steam > right click hollow knight > properties > local files > verify integrity
why do you want mods then 10 min later want it gone?
duality of man
What the heck happened here?
I had debug and moresaves on and healthbar (and API and common)
I notice he hit me as he yelled so i was able to move around
yeah, seems like a scream skip, dont know why you suddenly went flying tho lmao
yeah, but why when i descending darked did i light up and A S C E N D ?
ascended with gorb i guess
I had mods installed, and had reset my game because I wanted to speedrun... but now I want to reinstall mods, and I'm having difficulties... idk why, but Hollow Knight isn't finding my mods?? what do I do to get them to work again?
if it helps, the mod installer is called: modinstaller-9-8-5-2-1585498837
ModManager v8.5.2
update moodinstaller
how do I do that?
just download the one in the pins
should I delete anything? like the old version?
just do whats in the first pin then see if it works
in the pins it says "and any au.exe next to it"
so in the same folder , if its there at all
I had my installer on my desktop, there was nothing next to it
idk where I left the folder XD
I did the rest, and it didn't work...
if it was on desktop and theres no au.exe you dont have to delete it cause it isn't there?
makes sense
No mods are installed... no ModdingAPI, no ModCommon, nothing
like, when I open HK
it says nothing in the top left corner
but the modinstaller says it is there
ok you used 1 right?
ohh
then the first pin doesn't wrok lol
go to modding api and see if its installed
if yes try to reinstall it
it is
lemme try
still nothing
also not getting that load bar at the start, btw
try modinstaller 1
it should detect if the modding api is there
no
okay
you dont have to
lemme guess
there isn't a list of mods
only manully in the top left?
no
although I had that
but now it's like
the normal window
but no list
hang on
try this
1 ofc
what does the error say?
when you open the modinstaller right?
yes
hmm
should I just continue?
as expected lol
XD
the .dll
okay
just replace the one already there
done
the run the game
loading bar
nice
then delete installer 1 and use 2
did get a "failed to load"
just ignore it
So it works now?
it had until this far...
weird
but should I delete 1? or just keep it and ignore it and use 2?
whatever you want
np
it is telling me to check ModLog.txt... you sure I can ignore it? XD
where is it?
appdata/locallow/teamcherry
%APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
when does it happen
when starting the game?
and on every save or only one?
@sinful lance
when starting
only 1 save?
only when creating randomizer save
yes
and which mod do you have
ok
can you go to saves
then to the userX.json?
idk if you have ever been to saves
yeah
Hmmm, does the non-multiworld variant of Randomizer require SeanpCore?
can you esc?
Were you able to move before messing with mods? And yeah does keyboard controls work?
yes
benchwarp
nice
thx
serecore yes
kk
ah, thanks
installing randomizer things but maps aren't working:
Elderbug didn't gave maps (talked to him 3+ times) so I bought map from the fatty boy but it just doesn't work
RandoMapMod doesn't work too, I guess it's because map don't work
Any ideas? 
Did you install rando map mod
Sorry didn’t read the entire thing
Did you get a map before talking to elderbug? I think that might skip the event?
No, I spoke to elderbug and then, seeing that he didn't gave me maps then I got one
¯_(ツ)_/¯
(might help)
Hello all, I need help. I instal a mod hollow point on MacOs and it don't work. All mods work normal but this didn't work
Are you starting a new save or loading one
Start new
Read the readme
And
?
wait i know you
🤔
you are redfrog
I off other mods and it work but I broke the game. I cant use nail and gun
afaik the hollow point readme states that it doesn't work on new saves
so make a save without the mod, save in dirtmouth, then enable the mod
Ok
can someone send the latest mod installer, i unistalled mine cuz it wasn`t working
?i am too lazy to make these into fancy commands like Mulhima does
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
check the first pinned message
k thx
hello, I wanted to install the modinstaller but it's throwing an unhandled exception when I start it and I can't select the game's installation folder
can you help please?
check the first pinned message
If you talk to Elderbug at all without map mod on, then he won't give you maps in that save. It is only triggered by his very first dialogue.
He also won't give it to if your first time taking to him is when the Grimm Troupe is there, however in that event you just need to talk to him then enter a building to reset him, then he should still give maps.
Have you used mod Installer before?
What version of HK do you have (where did you purchase the game?)
What OS are you on?
^
I haven't used the mod installer before, current version on Steam, Windows 10
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
I pressed manually, because I have no other option
And you have Hollow Knight on steam, correct?
It's not just "the current version on steam"?
That folder doesn't look right, which is why I'm asking
anyway, try using installer 2
There should be an exe there
What happens when you open hk from steam?
Go to steam, right click click Hollow Knight, click properties, click Local Files, then click Browse
Makes sense
Steam2 ?
Edit: I also use it on a d drive, but left names as default. Forgot that could change
There isn't anything wrong with that
yeah
On d drive steam makes the folder steam apps
uh, it seems like it works with modinstaller 2
thanks
idk seems to be some weird dependencies with your os
possibly because your windows is unactivated
yeah, that's what I suspected
If there is a steam2, could there potentially be a steam 1 fwiw? I know the installers scan for folders- would it have looked in the other one first?
there is no steam 1
I'm still confused as to why the .exe was missing to begin with lol
if you can select the correct folder initially then the installer should never modify that from what i remember
Cuz installer doesn't look for them when manually installing mods
because of the context menu or whatever it's called
Ahhh
I didn't realize is was in the "manual" window itself.
it's working now so thanks everyone
how do I mod hollow knight again?
open the modinstaller
install the installer and open it
hmmm.... where do i install it
pins
literally in the pins
seems to be working... I'll get back to you
I installed the Sprite packer from the ink scarlet video but when moved it to my desktop and when I tried to open it my virus protection picked it up as something that could harm my computer am I safe to keep it?
yes, we do not distribute malware
what do I do?
that's something someone who distributes malware would say imo
It looks like it's just freaking out about the readme
when I clicked continue this happened
restart the modinstaller, if it dies again then delete the temp folder it specifies
one day somebody should really make the modinstaller more error-resilient, but for now we just ask you press buttons slowly
now what?
Is the game open
no
when i try to open mod installer it shows up for less than a second than instantly closes
first pin
Try right clicking mod installer and clicking run as administrator

When ever I open sprite packer with the sprite folder in the correct spot the sprite packer won’t open but when I remove the sprite folder it starts working again how do I fix this?
I downloaded the sprite folder and the sprite packer from the ink scarlet video
Manually install CustomKnight
Hell.
women
hello, i just installed some mods and i'm getting this black command prompt type box in my game window
thank you so much!
is hamachi required for multiplayer ?\
no
ok thank you
if you know how to port forward it works just fine
do you have that one file open?
maybe in some image editing software
oh
nvm
it's the tmp file
you could go to C:\tmp\HKmodinstaller and delete everything there
and relaunch the installer again
it's not required but it makes everything so much easier
download this file and put it C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
then open the installer and download QoL mod
then run the game once and see if custom trials shows on the top left
then close the game and go to the #modding-discussion pins. Download the xml file of the trial of pure masochist and place it in the custom trials folder which can be found in the mods folder
yes
download/enable Vasi
ah
ok i see it was disabled
i found the file but
is there anything in particular i should name it
it has to be .xml right
replace the current xml file that's there in the custom trial folder
hmm
theres nothing there
oh wait no nevermin
ok
so what should i name it
WaveSequence.xml?
leave the name how it is
alright
and to play it i just go to the colosseum
or is it in the godhome or something
colosseum trial 3
ok 
have a question, if i use save file editor am i able to switch my grimmchild to carefree melody?
probably
i tried it with debug mod and it didnt seem to function so im looking through the flags on save file editor but cant seem to find one that would change it
is it possible to reset the debug mod?
i just found the flags and the charm seems to be working. nevermind
Check pins
btw
is there a way to add masks/hp points using debug mod
im still at five hearts
no, but you can save edit to achieve those instead
thanks 
change "maxHealth" to 9
wait where do i find the save file
Hey my sprite packer doesn’t work but when I take the sprites folder out it works again how do I fix this?

whichever slot the file is in
i just used some online save editor
I was playing randomizer mod, i went in settings then pressed esc to go out but then the settings stayed so it was like in the picture, pressing esc again doesnt do anything and i cant get out using back... which means i cant save an exit the game
What do i do?
Try to sit on an bench then alt-f4
can you use your mouse to select "Back"?
No
you don't need to sit at a bench, the game will save all the checks you've done even before sitting on a bench
alt+f4 and restart the game then
how do i revert back to vanilla hk?
goo to steam -> right click hk -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files
When I put the sprite folder in. my sprite packer won’t open but when I take the sprite folder out it starts working again
how can i use the controller with mods? I mean how can I play HK with the mods, playing not with the keyboard but the controller?
the same as usual
no, it doesn't work
plug in the controller after the game has started and see if that works
ok, i'll try it
why did my hollow knight mods stop working? they aren't turning on when I turn on hollow knight
What mods are on
custom knight, debug mod, benchwarp, that's about all I remember
Nothing else?
nope
Well count it
k then
I have like all the necessary mods for the mods I just mentioned to work
it started not working out of nowhere
could it be the thing in the top pin?
Try going to your save files path and delete all files with globalsettings in their name
Top pin is for mod installer
Not mods
ok
are you sure that won't destroy the mods fully?
yes, they're mod settings, not the mods
Why would it
hollow knight installer?
Plus you could redownload the mods
pins
Mod installer?
I don't remember how to put mods. I have modinstaller though
You click install on a mod
ddone
And wait for it to install
then?
Play
i'm on mac
get the mac one
i have modinstaller, i have not mods enabled in HK!
why does an error message appear every time i try to open the mod installer?
why can't I install benchwarp again
check top pin
enable Modding API
how? i don't remember...
i haven't it
nevermind fixed, turned it off and on and it fixed
Hey, I was wondering whether I should use mod installer 1 or 2?
ok... ok... i'll never test the mods 😦
+ This is a known issue with the Modding API. The most consistent way to fix this is to unplug the controller before starting the game, and plug it in at the title screen.```
from pinned message
Guys help gods of battle just froze
All of them are suspended I’m mid air not moving
maybe it's just your computer that can't run the mod bc it's too dificult idk
excuse me but uh, what mod has these 3 icons right here?
Have no idea why they're there
Read the readme for Hollow Point
Before we’re you starting a new save?
Depends on your definition of new? If you played the really old version of it, from like a year ago, then yes. But they've been part of it for a pretty long time.
no, this is an old save
from 2020/2019 I think
Save date doesn’t matter
It wasn't there before in 2020, idk why it's there now
it keeps telling me to update it everytime I open mod manager
Tbf, you asked if the save was new. If the save is from a year ago, then it's not new :P
Weird
Yeah. The mod had updated a lot since then.
Good point
This is a known bug, unfortunately. Just ignore it.
The mods bugs if you’re playing a save you just created(fixed by quitting and loading the game) which is what I meant
😔 that's unfortunate, also is the mod suppose to make you not heal or something?
Cause I tried healing and it wouldn't heal a part of my health
Read the readme
Also don’t use it on saves you like
It will make healing on them weird until you save edit
I have tried downloading the radiance mod installer and every time I try to open it, it shows an error message. is there a way to fix this?
oh, thank you for the note
Refer to the readme for instructions on fixing
Windows 10?
Did you read the first pin? 
What OS are you on?
Ah, okay, I just liked the old hollow point mod, seemed less... Weird to me... ^^"'
the old one also worked with skins, which the current one doesn't. Zote with a gun run was the best imo
everytime i try to disable a mod, the modinstaller closes, anyone know why?
so I'm trying to install the gun mod but I can't find it can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is it closing when you click the disable button?
Is it giving any messages at all?
does that everytime i click the disable button, and then closes a couple seconds later
What OS are you on?
When did you download the installer?
And where did you get it from?
windows 10, just downloaded modinstaller 2 after removing modinstaller 1, and from this discord
modinstaller 1 was also giving an error that looked similar to this too, thought downloading modinstaller 2 would fix it
How do I heal using the hollow point?
By killing stuff. Read the readme
Did the installers used to work, and only recently stopped?
yes
i just installed the mod Installer and i had some problems the error window is all in portuguese so i will try translate it:
Microsoft .NET Framework
A exception without treatment has ocurred on the aplication, if you click continue, the aplication will ignore this error and will try to proceed. if you click on finish, the aplication will be shut down imediately.
can someone help me?
PS. sorry if my english is bad
Hey y'all. With modinstaller not working properly, can anyone tell me where to install the SereCore files manually?
Thanks!
thx
Did you change anything about your Hollow Knight install recently? Or change anything about your computer?
You may need to reset the installer.
i havent changed anything, and i tried resetting it
unless im missing something, idk. i followed the instructions on the pinned message
Is there a specific reason your main drive is an A drive? That's usually a reserved letter space. I don't think it'd break it, but it's definitely odd.
no clue, its always been A
Wot. That doesn't sound right.

Well as a start, I would suggest changing A: to D: or E:
A and B were historically dedicated to floppy discs and may not index properly with full drives.
Moving your desktop off of your OS drive may also be causing issues
Anybody know what to do with the MoreSaves mod to get it to work?
not sure how either of those would help especially considering it was working perfectly fine before, changing my desktop to A has never caused issues before either
Heya so the debug mod isn't working for me :/
Or maybe I'm dumb and forget how to open it
anyone know why this happens and how i can fix it (HK isnt letting me focus)
Try reloading your save?
did you install and then uninstall hollow point
Read the readme for hollow point
ok thanks
should I ping @trail flint ?
- When did you last change you Desktop location?
- What method did you use (to change the location)?
- How long have you been using your current "A drive" Harddrive?
- If you launch Hollow Knight, does it work?
a long time ago, probably 3 years. i have no idea, its been a while. since i got my computer, which was around 4 years ago. and yes

I think you might find more info on the charm mod in its readme
yeah i found it
also, how do i install Absolute Inferno King Grimm? is it still supported?
You may need to move you Mod Installer to your C drive, then try launching it. Either installer. Both installers had some updates to functionality, and it's possibly that they simply won't work with your setup anymore, because how you have things setup is really not a recommended way.
You should probably consider also changing you Desktop back to the default location, and just making a folder on your secondary drive called something like "Desktop Files", then putting a shortcut to that folder on your normal desktop.

Looks like it
ive done the read me and have the user1.dat file, but where do i put it?
last problem solved, but all my bosses are invisible, how do i fix it?
Edit: untill now only false knight and hollow knight were invisible
oh so you just enable hard mode in the menu lmao
i mean after ive modded the file
You put it back where you got it from :P
Just make sure it is named the same thing as when you got it
user1.dat is File 1, user2.dat is File 2, and so on
game crashed after I died to the homing ball spawner attack at AIKG (not pufferfish, the other one)
apparently there was a fix for game crashes released for this 16 days ago, not sure if that's on the mod installer already?
None of your bosses should be invisible... ||Well, THK can be invisible, but that happens in VAnilla too||
What mods are you using?
Can you post a screenshot of your main menu?
You can just directly download the two .dll files from GitHub if you aren't sure. You can then either use the "Manual Install" option on Mod Installer, or just drag and drop them into your mods folder.
occasionally random enemies are also invisible for me on vanilla, but that's my extremely 🥴 pc
my mods are:
Benchwarp 2.3DW, CharmOverhaul v1.3.6.2, CharmNotchMod 1.1, Custom Knight 1.2.2, DebugMod 1.3.6, Enemy HPbar 2.1.0, InfiniteNotches 2000, LifeBloodMaster 2.0.0.0, ModCommon 0.0.6, unofficial Hollow Knight Patch 0.0.1
Did you possibly bind something to debug that's causing it?
im sorry what would the bind mean exactly?
turns out all i needed to do was restart my pc, to those helping me earlier. thanks for the help nonetheless lmao
im using the debug mod to test some charms
lol. That's still really odd @_@
Like, the error being thrown was because something was having an issue reading/writing to the paths. At any rate, good luck with future modding 
Debug mod lets you "bind" actions to buttons. Like, by default, Backspace will Hide the Knight
computers be whack sometimes
No i did not i think binding stuff is too complicated so i don't mess up bindings
It is not complicated. In-fact, it is so easy, that many people accidentally do it, almost every day.
So... i gotta remove the binds?
That being said, you may be using a button that a default binding too. Lemme go check real quick
You can reset them by deleting the config file (info in this message: <#archived-modding-help message> ), but that won't help if it was a default keybind
I just checked, all the binds are on their default settings
uh... so i tried removing some mods like charm overhaul and it actually worked but thank you so much for the help.
Ok so i quit to menu and i got a message titled "FATAL ERROR IN GC" and it says "too many heap sections"
what do i do
Is this every time you quick to menu, or was it just once?
Also, what mods are you using?
Can you post a screenshot of your main menu?
It should be.
Programs can crash for any number of reasons.
IIRC, too many heap sections just means that there was too much going on; so I'm assuming that you have a lot of mods on?
That or one mod possibly created too many things at once.
Just got this when i pressed "OK"
lol yeah i was cloning shit with debug
Probably don't do that :P
HK can only handle so much going on at a time (I'm pretty sure it has a hard memory limit), and will start failing if there's too much going on.
will it be fine if i dont do it again or did i perm break it
I'm pretty sure all regular entities despawn on quit, so I'd imagine it's fine
Good morning, Evening or Night. (Excuse my enlgish, It's not my native language.) This is my first time in this server and i came here for help with a mod i tried to download... Here let me explain:
I have been trying to download the Hollow-Point mod using the hollow-knight installer. I Used a youtube tutorial i saw to try and install the mod. However i noticed some things were not right while doing the tutorial and in-game. First of all i noticed that the mod installer in the video had a list of mods and other important things, while the one i had only had the manually download option. No list or nothing else. I assumed the person in the video downloaded a lot of mods or i simply had another version of the installer. I decided to try to download the mod anyways using the installer. I did the procedure like the tutorial explained. I downloaded the .ddl File, installed it using the mod installer and then opened the game. When i oppened the game i noticed the mod and the "ModdingAPI" where downloaded. I didn't know how to use the mod so i googled it and found the github page. I noticed some folders were different in the Github page's .zip than the ones in the .zip file i had downloaded. I tried to use the mod in the game, but i couldn't activate the weapon.
I noticed my nail was slightly weaker than usual and that the charms had descriptions reffering to the firearm, but i was not able to get the gun out. I kept trying, changing my controls, reseting them to default. Nothing worked. I could see the gun in the back of my character but couldn't use it. Another thing i noticed is that the Github page said that the mod needed a "ModCommon" thing that was not in the tutorial. I tried downloading the .zips for modcommon and the mod in the Github pages but they had other stuff i did not know how to install. I came here after searching a bit for a place where i could ask with help for.
Sorry if this is a long message, I was making sure to explain in detail what i did...

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
This is the installer that you should be using
does anyone know how the multiplayer works?
Pins
Check the pins 
We’re you starting a new save with hollow point?
Or loading a save
The turorial gave me a similar link and then it automatically downloaded. It also showed me this discord server when the person in the tutorial showed where to download it.
I tried with a new save then an old one. Neither worked.
Did you use the old one without restarting the game between the new one?
I restarted the game twice before using the old one
You need to load a save(create then restart game then load works) since point breaks creating
And the gun still had problems?
Did you check the equipped charms?
Some charm combos purposely make the gun unusable tmk
Ex: charms that change the type of gun
The Mod Installer normally automatically finds your install of Hollow Knight, assuming you installed it in a normal spot. If it doesn't find it, then you want to point it to the folder that has hollow_knife.exe in it. When that is correctly linked, it will show you the full mod list.
As far as Hollow Point (gun mod) goes, you definitely want to make sure you read through the readme file for it. It doesn't work if you make a new save for it- you usually want to make a new save without it, then add the mod and load that save. You also need the ModCommon mod on for Hollow Point to work correctly.
The installer did ask. And i did select the "steam/steamapps/common/HollowKnight" folder, it didn't show me the list though...
I did try to download ModCommon wasn't able to download it since i didn't really understand how to...
Did you click install on modcommon on the installer
Can you post a screenshot of your Hollow Knight main menu?
Also, possibly try using Mod Installer 2 in the pinned
messages. Put it on your Desktop, and run as administrator.
They couldn't get the installer to work

what is the "port" in the thing where you connect to the ip
also which part is the ip in hamachi
so which ip is the one that you input
Red circle is the IP you want.
All players need to be in the same hamachi room, and use the host's IP
sorry it took a long time to open... Here's screenshots of what the modinstaller and the game's main menu look like.
AFAIK with Hamachi the host can set any port, and everyone just needs to use the same one
AFAIK means As far as I know
But yes, it should default to a number, but as long as the host and the clients match, it shouldn't matter
Did you download the modinstaller from here? Yours doesn't say the version, but the current version is 8.7.1
If so and it still didn't work, then try Mod Installer 2: <#archived-modding-help message>
A lot of this will be much easier if you can get an installer working
Okay i'll do that tomorrow, it's currently to late and i'll go to sleep soon...
Hey do you guys know if item randomizer can be impossible? I've spent the past hour and a half going through every area I've unlocked with an item map open and can
can't find anything more i can get
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
Go to your save folder, and check the RandomizerHelperLog.txt
gotcha ty
There are a lot of unintuitive checks for beginners in randomizer, partially because the easy logic expects you to have very basic understanding of playing the game out-of-sequence
This may come in handy as well:

K so the helper said only unchecked places were sly and eselda so i looked in the spoilers and mothwing is where soul catcher is, how do i get past that baldur without vengeful?
Also, if Helper says that that's the only unchecked places, then something one of them is selling it what you need
For future rando Q's, probably ask in #randomizer btw :)
It needs to be 26950
Jngo probably planned for it
But didn’t ever get to making the server start with the punch of a button instead of game start so that’s the port they entered
io amn ocnfusted
ok
Are there currently any advantages to using Jngo's Multiplayer Mod at this point, or would it be better to start recommending people use one of the developing ones? (AFAIK there are two, although I'm only familiar with Extremelyd1's verison).
The only advantage I can think of is that Jngo's is more commonly used right now, but afaik they're both about equally stable now (as in they both donk up after awhile, causing people to need to restart HK; Jngo's might be better currently with a larger group though)
is there a mod like life steal in game?
Hollow point maybe
the one that using gun?
I can get to the select the mods in the menu but they don carry over into the game
Post a screenshot of your modinstaller
(If you're on windows, you can use WindowsKey + Shift + S ofr one easy way. Another easy way is to click on the mod installer window, press Alt + PRINT SCREEN, then paste that into chat)
No, the one that let's you shoot a gun
We need a sequel to Hollow Point, that just makes the Knight into a gun. You can only move by shooting, which propels you forward.
If you're on modinstaller 1 click on enable all mods. If your on modinstallsr 2 click the orange button next to modding api to update it
can get a help on modding
the api tells me to go purchase the game even tho I already bought it
I deleted the exe and downloaded a new copy and it still gives out the same dialogue
how do i reset the file path it searches?
never mind, figured it out
deleted the modinstaller folder in local
Hey so I've got a question
I installed Hollow Point but I'd like to tweak it a little
Is it possible to turn focus back on, and disable soul regen? I'd like it to play a bit more like vanilla, using the gun as a replacement for shade soul
The code is online for it, if that's what you mean
But there isn't a config file, or settings for it other than editing the mod itself.
Dang, well hopefully it's not too hard to edit then

Oh god I just realized I'm gonna have to do Path of Pain without healing if I don't edit this mod
Yes, but it'll also be significantly easier
Also, possibly Hive blood still exists
I'm not actually sure though
hollow point changes hiveblood
i just tried installing the "Poorly translated" mod and it said there was an error now theres a "poorly translated" zip file in my mods folder

Could someone please help me with my controller. I can't get it to work when i want to play with mods. I am on mac and play with a 8bitdo N30pro controller. I did try to plug it in at the title screen but still no luck.

i used it before for install customknight and worked
but now, i try to open it and not work
read the first pinned message
thanks
I got mods to work again! HOORAY!!
This is like the third person recently with this issue. Did something about Mod Installers update seem to break the disable button for some people?
If its modinstaller 2 then it's normal for the disable to not work
are there any fan made health bar sprites I can use for my run? I really don't like the hp bars the mod gives you
The Daughter of Hollownest skin has HPBar files with it. That's what I've been using until I finally get around to making my own lol
can you download mods manually on mod installer two, my mod installer one has an error I can't fix it, been trying for two hours
It needs the most recent stable patch, my steam version is on the godmaster patch, but it won't work
could someone answer me a question?
Could you send a screenshot of your main menu?
Depends what it is
does this Modinstaller2 have a virus?
The one posted in the pins of this channel does not
The problem
Could you send a screenshot of your main menu?
Your Hollow Knight main menu
Ignore the mod things, that is from mod installer 2
So ModInstaller 2 is working for you?
ya
Oh, then you just need to grab the .dll file for whatever mod and put it in your mods folder.

I don't believe there's a specific button
okay, what do I do for decoration master mod, isn't there supposed to be a global.json in a file that gets made,
I'm no good with deco mod, sorry.
@silver oasis Is there a reason you can't use the Mod Installer?
its fine, I could figure it out after that, probably, thanks for the help
it's not because I wanted a mod but it's not in it
Which mod are you looking for?
the mod that has an Ak-47
That is on the modinstaller and it is called Hollow Point
oh thanks
Here's my guide on installing and using the DecorationMaster Mod, a mod which lets you both customize levels and play other people's customized levels! Credits to Sawyer and shoutouts to 56.

how does the multi player mod work? I want to connect to my friends game but I dunno how to do that

I'm using ModInstaller 2, whenever i try to disable Randomizer 3 modinstaller crash's Anyone know why
dont disable them
if you want a mod install it. if you dont want a mod uninstall it
in multiplayer, is there a way to see what skin they have on instead of them also having yours?
no
i have everything set up in multiplayer mod but it won't let me connect to my friends server
heya. i'm having difficulty with my controller after i've installed the mod loader. i've tried the recommended workaround of starting the game unplugged and plugging it in at the title screen, but that succeeds in crashing my game. am i sol?
If you play with the Steam copy, then I've found using the forced-controller settings (You have to go to Big Picture Mode, then pick the game, Manage, and controller settings) fixed my issues. You also should probably toggle the "Native Controller Input (Beta)" setting found in Hollow Knight's options (if it's on, then turn it off; if off then turn it on), because for some reason that setting seems to cause some crashes.
where is this option? i don't see it
Native Controller Input is in the main menu of Hollow Knight, in control settings
The forced controller input is somewhere on the game manage settings of a steam game, but only editable in big Picture Mode
i do not see the native controller input there. all i see in control settings is an option to remap the buttons.
Also, what OS are you on? Because iirc the native input is only on Windows
ah, that'd do it. i'm on ubuntu.
In that case, you may not even have the steam forced controller option
