Sfgrenade can you help him
nope
do u have steam?
yes
in that folder
i own hollow knight on steam
You don't have mod common
thats what i was thinking
.
the modlog.txt would've been found like this btw
and i actually meant the screenshot for you, small reminder
wait lemme see if it works in game
Wdym
the enemy randomizer doesnt have an error message anymore
im on mac so that might change something but im doin it now
shit it doesnt work in game
Just send the modlog
can you give me the exact wording to the modlog
through the win + r shortcut thing
Just send an ss of your Whole screen
@vernal rain heres the screemshot of my folder
i meant the main menu screen, like misi did just now
ahhh k doin that now
Someone asked you something in the hkmp server
It should work
Doesn't Mac put something in a different folder? I don't remember what off the top of my head, but I feel like there's something that it does uniquely in regards to mods.
it doesnt work in game
Are the enemy's different
how do i do that?
apparently you didn't put the hkmp.dll in the right folder (but sadly i have no clue about mac filepaths, so i sadly can't help)
sorry im new to modding
Quit the game then see if theres a load randomize button once you satrt again
Can you go to Hollow knight in steam, right click it, click properties, local files, then Browse?
Np :)
mac filepaths for hk are same for windows once u get through managed folder btw
i thnk i might have got it working
do i do anything here?
then it's managed > mods > .dll file here
You might want to set chaos mode on
yep thats where i put it
someone in the other server said i needed modcommon so im trying that
It makes enemy's be random like in the yt vids
You should read the readme file. It mentions what reach setting does
could it just be the amount of mods you have installed at once?
For mac its content -> resources -> managed -> mods
Most people want that and then ask and we need to say they need to activate that etc
and what about room mode?
not content -> managed -> mods (this is for skins)
It randomizes the rooms
thanks so much @gloomy coral you have literally save my life
Aha! This is what I was trying to remember! Thank you! 
This info should really be added to a pin
Now see if it works
Did you see a load randomizer button on the title ?
nope
Close Hollow Knight completely, then reopen it
my title screen

do i go inside a game file now?
Just,start rhe game
Your enemies won't randomize until you hit the button on the main menu. Stop starting new files lol
nope
oh ok lol
Wthwth
also uh theyre just my regular save files
well i only used 1 save file for all the attempts
Closer the game fully, and then open it again
Its not working smh
You'll have to do that at least once after deleting the settings afaik
Why would you leave the game open
i didnt
Im always going off the asumption that people close theyre games
Opening the game once will reinitialize stuff, like the settings. After it's been initialized, it'll need closed and opened again
its not working the fuck
Yeah i know but i said why would people leave theyre games open
I don't think anyone thought that they left their game open?
I'm confused at the question lol
so are there any other solutions or
Just ignore it
I dont have any
I haven't been able to read the modlog file yet, because I'm not at my computer for a few minutes. I can check through it when I am though
hmmm
Try the sam but for modcommon and modding api
Thats my last resort
whats that?
Moddingapi.globalsettings and modcommon.globalsettings
Delete them
Then restart the game
Wait, I have one thing to try first:
Oh ok
yes?
On the main menu, go to settings, then mods
Disable Enemy Randomizer, then Enable it again
Then close
The whole game
And open
If that doesn't work try what i said
also
do i have to make a completely new save file for the randomizer to actually work
No
GG
That's the thing I was forgetting
?????
Dwarfwoot the legend
what is it doing
Loading
It is randomizing 
Lol
lol i just hear the different musics
Just wait for a while
Yeah, it loads all screens, to shuffle all enemies
Go watch some yt or smth
its going by really fast though
thank you so much guys
ive honestly never seen a community this dedicated
Does anybody know the mode that randomizes items?
Randomizer 3
i made a mistake, its content -> resources -> data -> managed -> mods
ooh! Thank you for the correction! I was literally adding that to a notepad file for future ref lol
Mac users must right-click and open hollow_knight.app right? They can't copy and paste a path past that?
yea, they have to go to the game files location, right click on hollow_knight.app and then click on show package contents
but they can maybe get to it directtly from terminal idk how exactly file paths work in mac
I'm making a rewrite of the "how to manually install mods" pinned message, since it's out-of-date slightly, and not super clear about some stuff. I'm trying to make sure I include info on the Mac stuff, since that is a reoccurring confusion, with very little detailed pinned info.
If anyone does have any specific detailed mac info, lmk.
Like, I am guessing that
Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/(you'll then need to right-click and selectshow package contents, and navigate toresources -> data -> Managed)
is the equivalent of
Windows:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed
ig
maybe when someone comes with a mac you can try telling them to go to
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods
and see what happens
I don't have confidence in people to consistently get past hollow_knight.app without more direction, based on some of the past things I've seen 
Pins held the answer, had the invisible game saves thing happen every time I tried to install customknight after it working fine for a week. Couldn't figure out how to fix it but now its working again.
nice
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling everything a few times, google wasn't much help. Didn't realize the HK discord had modding channels though.
Im trying to play with a friend, how do I get an IP for my server through Hamachi? Do I have to purchase a server?
No
no
Pins
Pins?
needs a green arrow
And a click me text
Host: Install Modcommon, Multiplayer server, and Multiplayer client mods from the mod installer. Enter your own IP (from Hamachi) in the connection menu while in game. Connect to your IP.
Ive installed the stuffs, but how do I enter my own IP from Hamachi, I created a network and it isnt displaying a IP
Watch fireborn multiplayer video
Hamachi ip is the big ip next to the power button in hamachis
More
Yeah i just missed that, I found though. Thank you and sorry for that lol
Speaking of multiplayer, anybody know if there’s a new version of the mod out soon? I heard fireb0rn talking about it in a video
There is a separate multiplayer mod in development
I wonder who is making it
Currently it seems to be better than the more common one, but I haven’t played much on the new one
More
there's some mod who can skip the boss cutscenes? like, before it roar and attack
i'm bored of needing to wait everytime i want to fight NGK or PV
Qol
Qol skips some stuff
dumb question but where i can find it?
ik where pins is dude

Welcome to modding-help, how may I help you
Well this is modding-help, no one knows what a pin is here
lol

And make sure to pin it like 5 times
To be sure people know where the pins are
lol
imagine a pin who tell where the pins are lol

with focus
not enough focus or arrows
No
oh
?
?
?
i dont get the joke
Okay so
ive gone through video and your pins/troubleshooting reccomendations
And my friend still is unable to connect to my network.
are they connected to you in hamachi
Ive got the correct stuff installed. So does he.
Ive created a network. Given him the IP to type in. I connect before him. We've restarted the game.
They arent able to join my Hamachi network
why
Like i gave them password and name. They connect. And it says they are offline in some networks
And the IP that it says for the server is different for them than what ive got
both Ipvn 4 and 6 are different
the server is just a name
doesn't have an ip
the ip addresses you're probably seeing are theirs
oh thats the thing, I wasnt seeing there IP adress. It just now showed up for some reason
So
Do they use my IP adress, the one that the Hamchi server has right next to the power button?
if you are host
then they use yours
the power button only you see
they will see your IP in the connected people list under the server name
and you will see their IP in that list
the power button on their screen will have their IP next to it
Okay thank you
what the link to get mods ?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.
no, an additional pin will be confusing
they'll ask, "why dont i have the red thing floating"
i also have this (200% saturation + a bit hue shift + 200% saturation)
though this is easier to look at
I require help, my modinstaller won't open
I'll try to open it up and it'll say "this probably won't work etc" and I'll continue anyway and it'll just bring me to a blank screen
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue."
What’s under that
is there a relatively up to date version of the mod summary google doc? i'm going through it to check out some of the installer mods and there are a lot missing from the doc, but i might just not have the right version
are you connected to the Internet and is your firewall blocking modinstaller
hey, i got that exact same error a couple months back and i found a way to fix it!
Noice
lemme just find my old messages and i'll copy/paste what i did to fix it
Thx

ok found it, i tried to explain to Someone what I did but my explanation is a bit lackluster, but as i'm reading it i remember what i did so i can explain it again
maybe ppl here can save my old response in case someone else asks for this same error? because i literally got the exact same error box as you, so the solution i came up with might help in the future
Ok but what did you do
gimme a sec lol
Ok
alright so for starters, here's my old response so i can elaborate on it
Hey @Someone I found a way to fix this whole mess, so if anyone asks about it, maybe it can help them as well! So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game as you suggested and deleted the ModInstaller file in Local to set it up again, but the mods still weren't working. I decided to check the save file in LocalLow to copy/paste my saves just in case, and saw a whole bunch of files, .txt and otherwise, that had mod names, including mods I hadn't reinstalled with my latest try with ModInstaller, mods I hadn't installed since the game was still working with them. So I selected the whole thing, all those files, and deleted them. Then I ran ModInstaller once more and reinstalled all the mods (except for Benchwarp that was already installed as a test and didn't suffer from having those LocalLow files deleted) and this time, everything was working again. I've been playing three times since to see if any more problems pop up, but everything seems to be working fine. So yeah, no idea why that was causing an issue, or if that was even the issue or just a byproduct of a different issue resolved by your attempts to help me yesterday. In any case, I'm really glad I can play again, and I hope this can help someone else
alright, now for some details on what i did in case this is confusing
Ok
so i went to LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight, that whole thing. in this file, there are a Crashes and Old Mod Log file. underneath are a bunch of files related to mods
you need to delete all of them
(except the save files at the bottom, those user.1-6 files)
(those files, you cut/paste out of the file so that this whole file is empty except for the crashes and old mod log)
then you run Hollow Knight once
without any mods and with Modinstaller uninstalled from your computer
Ok I think I'll just try to reinstall the modinstaller first tho
Because there was an update to it recently
i know, that's what caused my issue too, an update, but don't do that
because when i tried to do that, it created duplicates of the files i'm telling you to delete
and it made this whole mess worse to a point i had to uninstall the whole game
i promise you're not losing much by deleting those files, you will all get it back by installing ModInstaller again and then downloading your mods once more
at which point the problem should be fixed
I already deleted the modinstaller....
great!
Huh?
just delete the files, run the game once
I thought you said not to do that
you said that, i said don't
@wheat orchid
?
my dude, it's how i fixed it, doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. when i had this issue, it fixed my problem, but if you want to try something else, feel free
I guess I forgot about that fix when I was originally helping you
no worries
Global settings?
all your answers at that time still helped me figure out the fix in the end
so it was worth it and you were still a great help
The mod stuff in the save files path(path mentioned here)
So this
Just checking, is your issue with the installer or the game
Then what Mako said won’t work
(btw Someone, thanks for the google drive link but that's the one I was talking about that isn't up-to-date with all the mods in the ModInstaller. so I'm guessing there are no up-to-date document out there)
Is the error happening in the installer or the game
I'm actually still running the debug mod and custom knight in my game still
So I assume the installer is finicky
My game is closed atm
Ok
I haven't started figuring this out until after closing it
Just make sure not to do this
Gotcha
Oh, we’re you doing it before
No
I had the installer fail me for awhile
I just resolved to play mostly default hk
Only started trying to fix it now with the game closed and stuff
quick dumb question: what's the difference between ModInstaller 1 and 2?
ui differences and modinstaller2 runs outside of windows
otherwise they the same, install the same mods from the same place
ok ty
I'm going to figure this mod stuff out another time
dumb questions #2: where are the readmes in modinstaller 2?
I think they’re installed to the folder containing the game’s exe file
Open them in notepad
thanks!
Yo I'm having trouble with the modmanager whenever I open it
There's a lot more listed in the details tab too
so where do i go from here
do i just check them both off
or do i need to install it from somewhere else
and then check them
wait, what program is that?
do I have the wrong one?
Both mod installers are fine to use
okay, I'll take a look at Modinstaller2, thank you
Click "installed?" and then wait for a moment for it to install
Click "enabled?" to enable it
Posing it as a question is very good UI
This is my first time modding a game and messing with stuff like this
Np. I hate mod installer 2, personally, but it does work
Also, make sure that Modding API is installed and up to date. (orange box means it of date. Click orange box to update(
So with custom knight now installed and enabled
how do i get the actual skin into it
look at the pinssssss
highlighted pins
it's like a friend in the dark
does QoL do something to seer? because she's asking for 2400 essence when i only ever unlocked the first reward
no
any ideas what could have caused it?
just the stuff needed for randomizer 3 (that's one itself is disabled currently tho) and custom knight
did you ever open that save while randomizer was active
If so, f
everything else functions normally, it's just seer that got messed up

grub daddy and the shops may have some weird leftover stuffs then
grub daddy was normal
as well as seer
shops are too
rip
any way to fix it?
or at least get the rewards somehow, idk if debug mod can do that
No
save edit
If you made backups of your saves before modding, then you could restore that backup
But it seems like many people don't do that for some reason
yeeeeaaaahhhh
I'm pretty sure literally every guide I've ever seen suggests to go so though lol
that's assuming you follow a guide 😅
and speaking of, are there guides for save editing? lol
- close game
- backup save files
- edit save files
- start game
let me search of a message of mine for step 3 alone
that'd be helpful yes
If you have QoL, it creatures an editable .json for any save that you open with it.
Otherwise there's an online save editor, linked in one of the pins iirc
i did find the json, or at least what i assume is the json
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 "dreamReward1" through "dreamReward9"
- set the value to false
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 "dreamReward1" through "dreamReward9"
- set the value to false
- 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

ohhhh that worked, thanks a lot!
that's not a button afaik, you'll be able to click on the options where you currently only have Default
we all mess up sometimes xD
Your file structure needs to be:
Managed/mods/custom Knight/[name of your skin]/[images]
If it is anything else it won't work.
You likely have an extra folder before the images
yeah i realized that

hey so i am trying to download the Hollow point mod but I am stuck the mod installer recognizes it as installed and it is enabled but whenever I open hollow knight it doesn't show it. What do I do.
nvm i got it
is it just hollow point or any mod
you just replace the files in their respective folders
Im trying to install a custom skin but, since i downloaded it with gamepass the modinstaller all the tutorials tell you to use cant install anything because "The media is write protected"
is there anyone else whos tryed to do this?
i honestly dont mind buying the game again. thanks anyway!
im making a hollow knight skin, and i was wondering if there is a way to use different models depending on what direction i am facing
I need some help getting rid of the mods in my game, I just want to play it the normal way right now, but I have no clue how to do it
are you using mod installer?
yea, but i havent touched hk in a while and i dont remember the installer was called
its called ModInstaller.exe
once you open it you can push the button that says "revert back to unmoded"
like have multiple skins on at once?
yes you can
if you go into the folders with the skins in them you can take the stuff out and move it around. just put the ones you want in a new folder
in the channel pins 
guys is it possible to install mods on mac? Cause I saw that the link is only for an exe file
after downloading and unzipping it, I had opened the app, a popup came saying that it needed to download mono, I waited until it installed, and now when I open the mod installer, it just closes
some skins are private
#modding-discussion message heres the pixel knight skin
Hey team, having a bit of a struggle wondering if I could get a hand. Trying to install custom knight (or any mod really) but the game crashes after the mod load bar. I can get the mod launcher to load without any mods installed, but as soon as I enable one the game crashes.
I've done multiple fresh reinstalls, moved my game to default path (C:// programfiles(86), cleared out both the modinstaller and hollow knight app data a few times and have used all the links provided on this discord (after trying old versions) and yeah just not having any luck.
Latest modlog
How does the dreamshield coop mod work? Does it need a keyboard and controller at the same time?
Actual error.log says this "Write to location 77841dd5 caused an access violation." which makes me think something is read onl that shouldn't be but after multiple install paths etc I'm out of options
Also for testing I tried with and without actual custom sprites (directly into the relevant folder) but the game closes regardless
help my game can't run with mods
Ok I got things like Unofficial Patch to work, but not having luck with custom knight and a bunch of other "basic" ones like more save slots =/
when i try to open the mod installer, i get this error. any ideas?
it's been working fine until recently
I put all of the details in this text doc
Please ping me if anyone can help, thank you ;v;
Screenshot your main menu with only the api installed
You gotta be more specific
You can try reseting the installer or use modinstaller 2
do you mean without the api installed?
Wdym?
you had a typo before, i wasnt sure what u meant
(That wasn't meant for you)
Like this?
They both do the same thing. They have different UI
What happens when you open a save file
The game crashes after the mod bar has loaded when CustomKnight is enabled
I don't even get as far as opening a save file
The game didn't crash
So what happens when you run game with only api
Yeah so if you read my question, I included that I got base mods to work and things like the QoL mod
you have too many skins enabled probably, kosm
But CustomKnight (among others) crashes it after the mod bar loads
I want to know if it crashes when you open a save
take some out of ur custom knight folder
i know. im saying for when u have custom knight enabled
Which is also in the description I gave 😛
if their problem is w/custom knight, its probably that
When I have custom knight enabled, I enbaled it with 1 skin only. Ive also tried with 3 diferent skins and no skins
The problem is game crashing
I'm playing it right now, so no
But yeah that mod-load-bar thing gets to the end and then Hollow Knight just closes itself without any error message
Show me your skin folder
and the pictures are right here
ive done this with 6 different skins or so lol, including just default to try to load the CustomKnight module
Do you have a controller?
Which other mods cause a crash?
benchwarp and extra save files both seem to do the same thing
But tbh I only installed mods for custom knight lmao
I only enabled them for testing purposes
Verify integrity of game files
done
reinstalled on 3 different drives
wiped appdata clean each time
for both the game and the mod installer
Why?
Since CustomKnight readme talks about isntalling on a 32 bit folder in C I even squished the game into the specific folder in case the mod isnt very clever
I've done tech support for a decade lol, just part of the process making sure old installs / versions dont leave things behind
Did you try running custom knight with no skins
Reinstalling custom knight?
each time 🙂
let someone else come
Yep, as soon as that bar loads it dies even with no skins lol
maybe post it again later cuz the question already got burried
Much appreciated
try yeeting all the global settings file in saves folder
Yeah that's the appdata one I mentioned. Rips
The save files are stored in local low
Also, if you did yeet save folder your save files would go bye bye
They on the cloud and get downloaded each reinstall / verify
Hi, i have a question.
Not for specifically a mod or something, but I have played the HK beta and never realized there was a backdash until i watched fireb0rn's vid. How do you backdash and are there some other different controls that I don't know about?
just normal dash otherwise i wouldn't know
try looking at controls
or search online
its only in the beta versions of hk
Hello guys
anyone know where i can find a good tutorial to play it multiplayer? 😦
If someone know please dm me or mention idk, thanks! uwu
superdash
can someone tell me, what enemy randomizer they use? (cause mine doesn't work
oh ok
i'm using that one too
mine doesn't work
it worked. help
ok, i want to downpatch hollow knight. i used depot downloader because i have steam, and i followed the instructions to successfully downpatch the game to 1.2.2.1, however when i try to launch the downpatched version, it is just the current version. What did i do wrong?
screenshot the 1.2.2.1 folder
the one with hollow knight data and the hollow knight exe file
is there a different modinstaller? asking cuz mine is kinda slow and gets errors alot
is modinstaller 2 better?
the rename the steam_appid.TXT -> steam_appid.txt
i use the one with the dude everyone hates for some reason that looks like the knight with a mouth
so you are using modinstaller 1
yes
is the 2nd one better?
asking cuz modinstaller 1 is slow and gets download errors alot
so use 2
can i have the download for it
thanks
The what 
zote
Oh lmao
why does everyone hate him.
hes 
Unless you have a different Zote skin, I have to say, the Zote skin kinda sucks, no offence intended
I don't really hate him, but basically it's cuz he's an asshole
he just looks like a depressed more aged version of The Knight
Did you happen to go over his dialogue recently?
That basically all explains how much of an annoyance he is
Not a really nice person
He's most likely like that cuz of abuse or something when he was young, though
yeah he is kinda a jerk but i dont judge him, he is kinda old from what he looks like. so i just ignore him
idk, if things had gone differently in his life he could've been a scholar or something
also why does modinstaller too need prompt to keep itself open
Wdym?
when i close the prompt it closes the modistaller2
leave it how it is
dont close the promt
just minimize it
the prompt is whats making the ui you're seeing so when you close the prompt the ui technically doesn't exist, cus its host is gone
i see
also where can i find the modinstaller 1 and 2 so i can add them as shortcuts in my desktop
k
Hey everyone!! I was wondering how I can uninstall the modinstaller to return back to my baseline game! I was toying around with the modpack, but wanted to go back to vanilla for streaming purposes. When I tried to revert back, modinstaller told me "unable to locate vanilla Hollow Knight. Please check the legitimacy and relaunch" or something like that. Anyone else come across that pop-up?
verify integrity of game files in steam
for steam, right click Hollow Knight > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity
for GOG i think it's similar
Ooohhh, okay! I will have to give that a shot after work. Thank you so much!!
ok i changed the file, what do i do now?
nope, it didnt work
ss the folder again
what?
ss = screenshot
367250
now it should work?
oh thanks!
it works now
now i can do the explosion pogo with ease
modinstaller
modinstaller
is the one in the channel name safe?
move it from downloads folder and open it
after that's done, search for easy mode mod and click install
wow
that's really easy
thanks man
i apreciate it
are there any quality of life mods i should get?
QoL
Qol
what does it do?
yes snail
alright thanks
where can i acceses the mod menu
is it in like a option in settings?
wdym by mod menu?
there's an option in hk settings named mods. that allows you to turn off (disable) mods but not all mods support it
some mods have globalsettings file in the saves file location
you can edit values there
oh
ok
well if i'm unhappy with the settings i'm probably going to suffer watching a youtube video on how to do it
but thanks for all the help you've given me
unhappy with settings?
if there's a setttings file you can change it from there. if not then you're gonna have to edit the code
is there a way to change your max hp with debug mod?
How do I do that?
With the qol mod you can edit your saves in notepad, otherwise you can find a website that lets you edit saves in them
you put in game the skin files like others have
there should be a .7z folder
you need 7 zip to open that
is it possible to move the mod overlays so that they don't overlap?
sure. recode them
ah yea, can I do that while game is running?
can you do coding while the game is running? sure I guess
since they're not related
no
you go to hollow_knight_data
then managed
then mods
then customknight
and you will find a folder called hornet by idk
does anyone know how to cast spells with the gun mod? i use pc
read the readme
only use the healthbars if you use the enemyhpbar mod
look in hollow_knight_data. I'm assuming this is just the skin pack you downloaded and not your actual game data folder?
then there should be a 7z folder in there
did you look inside that folder
.
and the knight skins are in there now? Maybe they changed the folder structure
nice, they made it more user friendly
all the knight skins used to be in another 7z folder
but this is obviously better
👍
How can you play a steelsoul run with Randomizer Mod installed?
if you die, delete your save
benchwarp to the black egg activate invinsibility set naildamage to 1000 and win the game
And make sure shade skips are turned off
b/c that'd be pretty tough to do if you die and delete your save
You’d need a shade skip skip

but how do you turn on steelsoul or is there no way
you don't
ok
I mean when starting a new file i can see no way to select steel soul
They already said you can’t select steel soul
and like I said, there are skip types that need you to die
if you want to play steel soul, just delete the file yourself
ok thx
steel soul changes nothing else besides deleting your save automatically
just do it manually and boom, steel soul
and rancid eggs i guess
but rando changes that already anyways
so steel jinn probably wouldn't even be there
Fwiw, both Jiji and Jihn are there in Rando 👍
So hitting to disable modding API/disable all mods and go vanilla? Does literally nothing for me
I have to manually deselect every mod in order to actually disable it.
And even then it keeps re-enabling some.
And the modding API is permenant even when disabling them all.
I mean, it disabled enough mods to actually give me the intro cutscenes, but still a little annoying.
Idk what mod would have taken away the intro cutscenes besides maybe moresaves or QOL lol
ModdingAPI is what removes the Team Cherry logo into.
The "Disable All Mods" button is supposed to replace the modding api with the vanilla file, but it doesn't always work for people (it didn't work for me until I downloaded the most recent installer)
why the long type
You can either:
- Manually replace the assembly file (there's an assembly file with a
.vanillaextension, that you just need to copy and paste, and rename) - Verify Integrity of the game on Steam (this will see that the file is different, and revert it to vanilla)
- Disable all mods, like you mentioned (I'm unsure if the installer reverts it when you do this or what, but I used to do this to play vanilla)
- if you want, I can upload a "vanilla switcher" that I use. It's a modified version of Jamie's
Mobile keeps heckin' up what I write 
ehm
i dont see
it
so thats why the revert to unmodded might not be working by some people??
It's either in the same folder as the regular assembly, it it is in a folder above it
So modinstaller is being weird for me (yes I read the pins)
Whenever I try to open it, it says an unhandled exception has occurred
nope its not there
I'll check where it is when I get on my computer in a few minutes
it's also very possible that both vanilla and modded .dll API versions are the API
can happen when installer gets reset/redownloaded, etc
so the button is working, but just replacing with an identical file
best thing to do is verify game file integrity to get vanilla game
yea
I was gonna ask "how tf" but I just realized how it would do that, if it assumed the file was vanilla when it made the backup. I wonder if a future update can compare the hash of it first? Or check to see if the file already exists?
Can someone help with my modinstaller problems?
specifically an "unhandled exception" keeps occurring
that tells us nothing
fair enough
just ss the error
How can I show you?
did you follow every step from pin 1?
yep
I think so?
and moving to desktop
You can try deleting the .exe, and redownloading it, putting it on desktop, then rubbing running as Admin.
If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to try Mod Installer 2
For whatever reason though, most people who are having that issue, are having it with both installers, and afaik no one knows the exact reason yet.
So you may have to manually install mods.
so I'm guessing no then
I'm doubling checking but I think so
Listen, if my cat loves belly rubs, then maybe mod Installer does too 
After double checking I did indeed do all of those steps
I'm not sure how active you've been over the last ~2 weeks, but have you seen anyone definitively get installer 1 working again if they have that issue?
Since the installers last both updated and the drive changed, I've seen maybe one or two people get it working again (the one I remember most tried 2, it failed, then they tried 1 again and it was working). But for most part, it seems like whatever is causing this most recent issue for people doesn't seem like it is "fixable", and it seems to prevent either installer from working for the person.
the fix to all installer problems: dont use it
Thanks for help anyway
I would say try using Mod Installer 2 from the pins, move it to desktop and run as Admin.
If that doesn't work, then you may have to manually install mods.
Have you seen anyone get the installer working again if they're having the unhandled exception, since the most recent installer updates?
Update: modinstaller2 seems to work
my usual answer is use modinstaller 2
most people that I've seen with this issue either switch to 2 or try rerunning things as admin after a system reboot and it works
or they just say nvm
or some settings files weren't removed and works after doing that step
I think an additional step to verify game integrity prior to trying the new installer might help too. There might be something from the old API that is causing a reference error
or the xml file that's put there
and installer 1 works just fine on my machine
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, installer 1 works for me too.
I'll definitely add recommendation steps to
- Delete the xml file when deleting the installer settings,
- Restart computer before launching (specifically, after deleting installer files and redownloading the installer, but before launching it for the first time).
With how wonky win10 seems if it stays on too long without a reboot, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if that's been the issue the whole time
delete all of these, verify game integrity after.
starting from vanilla game will probably help
and probably deleting any global settings files would help too
quick question, if i use poorly translated and then disable it later on, text will go back to normal right
guessing yeah but just wanna be sure
👍 thanks
can't install it for some reason "end of central directory could not be found" doesn't happen to any other mod i tried to install 
which mod is this?
poorly translated
go to the mods folder and change the .zip to .dll
bro i'm dumb asf, how
?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 the Game files folder, then go into hollow_Knight_data, managed, mods
know that
Do you have file extensions visible?
but when i try to unzip the poorly translated zip file it just makes a folder with text folders inside no dll
(do you see .dll files there?)
no
That's not what they said to do
did they not?
At the top of File Explorer, go to View. You may need to make the window bigger, but look for a checkbox that says "show file extensions"
And make it checked
Then in the mods folder, you should see the file extensions for everything (so the mods you have should all end in .dll)
No, they didn't. They said change it, not unzip/extract it
yes and i asked how i change it
If you took any files out of the .zip, then you'll need to completely delete it and redownload it
And I'm trying to tell you how lol
yeah i know 
im telling you my brain has lacking cells
this is what my mods folder looks like
yes
wow i AM dumb 
Do you have the file extensions visible checkmarked? I'm surprised it doesn't currently say .zip in that pic
Weird
changed it to a .dll file still doesnt work
when i try to install the actual mod in the modinstaller
yeah, dont
What
this is the actual mod, it just gets downloaded with the wrong file extension
No one said open the installer again lol
so after you click the button, change .zip to .dll, then open the game
still had it open
lemme try
it looks for mods that are there when it opens
instead of wasting processing power doing it constantly
hi, i recently bought hollow knight from xbox app, i can't edit the files to mod it, is there any solution? i'm thinking of refund it....
OK, I'll refund it right away
Team Cherry could turn on modding for that version and then it would be possible. It is now possible to mod games in the xbox app just needs the developer to toggle it on.
or linux dual boot
Tc, do it in 1.5 update
@ Team Cherry pls
Windows store too?
Is the debug mod the mod with cheats and the funny stuff?
wdym by funny stuff
Noclip
For example
yea that's debug
Alright thx
they are quite transparent about it
lol
Nvm I fixed it
Is there a mod where I can give myself all the charms from the get go?
debugmod
Screenshot your installer
is there a "mods" option in the in-game menus
No
then you probably have 2 game installs on your machine. installer says the API is active, but your game does not
If I uninstalled would that remove atleast one of them
I found the other install
you can click the button at the bottom of the installer "change default install path" and make sure it's where your game is
its working now. Ty for the help
Hello, I got a little problem. Completed Hitless P1 and P2, but the central pin didn't light up as it should.
I used mods (rando, custom knight, etc) so I'm asking maybe it's because of the mods and someone already had same problem?
Oh I had same issue, but with updating Randomizer 3 mod
rando could have screwed with it
rando, customknight etc... doesn't really describe much
hey, trying to get randomizer 3 mod to work. bought game on steam (windows OS) and i am using mod installer v2. screenshot of title screen:
modlog:
you don't have serecore, which is required
you also appear to have an assembly-csharp.dll in your mods folder, which is not intended 
you also have seanprcore, which is outdated and should be replaced with serecore
tysm jamie 
Randomizer 3, Benchwarp, Custom Knight, Player Data Tracker and all required mods for these
Ok, thanks
Any good recommendations for mods or things to do to freshen up a second playthrough of the game?
I've just come back to it after a while and I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas to make it a bit more interesting, I think I'm quite good at the game, I like a good challenge
(question transfered over from #hk-general )
If you want a challenge, there’s hell mod, randomizers, boss mods, bindings mod, and much more(refer to the mod summaries linked by the ?mods bot command)

How do you unbind hotkeys in Debug Mod?
could you help me with mods?
hey so i am trying to find the mod API in my computer what is the name of it?
COULD SOME HELP ME INSTALL THE MODS?
Modding on Hollow Knight is pretty easy and straight forward. In this video I will go over the basics of modding and how to play with several different mods.
This is only the beginning to modding. If you have questions on how to install mods outside of the mod installer, that is beyond the scope of this video.
Thank you to all the help answeri...
no the problem is it doesnt detect the game
huh?



thanks lads, really based of you
thanks for dealing with my dumbass
