In the mod installer

#

Just click download.

orchid hare
#

because the installer doesnt tell me what they do

#

and how do I get the installer up again, just rerun the exe?

limber egret
#

?mods

limber egret
#

Yeah, just run the exe

#

It is suggested you move it out of downloads

orchid hare
#

cool thanks

#

Are modded bosses in the regular world or in hall of gods?

#

or both

#

So to download mods you click installed and then enabled if you also want them enabled

limber egret
#

Yes

#

Most modded bosses I've seen only work in HoG, but I've never used any myself.

#

If I enable mods, will I still get the achievements normally?

I'm on Mac, os Big Sur, I'm able to open vanilla HK via Steam (it's currently closed I just wanted to make sure it worked). I'm trying to install modinstaller 2 and randomizer 3. I'm looking at the instructions for installing mods in the pins (the step-by-step guide by Benji from 12/11/2018) and I'm a bit confused for steps 3 and 4, since on Mac there is no hollow_knight_Data file, there's just a hollow_knight that's an application that just opens the game if I try to do anything with it. This means there's also no hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods folder or an obvious place to make such a folder. At the moment in Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight the three things there are the hollow_knight application, the Randomizer mod folder, and the ModInstaller folder. What should I do from here?

limber egret
limber egret
#

Or whatever it's labelled

heavy frigate
#

which mini menu?

limber egret
#

Like right click

heavy frigate
#

"get info"?

limber egret
#

What are the options listed?

#

And also are you sure you're in the right place and not just on a shortcut?

heavy frigate
#

I went into application supports->Steam->steamapps->Hollow Knight

#

and in the drop-down menu I found a "show package contents" option, is that probably it?

limber egret
#

That sounds right, yeah

#

I'm going off what others have said, as I don't use a Mac

heavy frigate
#

for step 4 of the guide, is a .dll file a Windows only thing? It says that the mod I want should be in the hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods as a .dll and not as a folder, but there's a bunch of different files & folders in the Randomizer 3 package I unzipped

#

also, does ModInstaller need to be in that Mods folder or can it hang out somewhere else?

buoyant fiber
#

is there a mod to access pop? i wanna practice it

limber egret
#

QoL will keep the pop entrance open

buoyant fiber
#

ok, thanks

limber egret
#

Mod installer does not need to be in your mods folder. It also shouldn't download a zip, it should download the mod straight into the appropriate folder

#

Where did you get the rando mod?

heavy frigate
#

github

#

I got both modinstaller 2 and randomizer 3, separately, last night

limber egret
#

Download the mods from the mod installer

#

You have downloaded the source code for the mod, not the actual release, though.

#

The release will be on the right hand side of the screen you downloaded the source code

heavy frigate
#

when I try to open modinstaller 2 (which I got from a pinned post from this channel last night) I get the message "You can't open the application "ModInstaller" because it may be damaged or incomplete."

buoyant fiber
#

trying to install the latest modinstaller doesn't find the game files,

#

when I intall modinstaller, it asks me if [correct game file location] is the game file, then says it couldn't find it

glacial furnace
#

Did you try Locating it manually?

buoyant fiber
#

my bad, I didn't try

heavy frigate
#

I tried looking back through this channel for other people who saw the "damaged or incomplete" message and can't find a solution for it, is there anything I can try?

quiet arrow
#

can someone lonk me a save editor

#

last time i trusted google when i was new to a modding scene i almost downloaded a virus

#

😎 thats why you use malwarebytes kids

buoyant fiber
#

when I manually select the hollow knight file it says invalid file selected

quiet arrow
#

ig a better question would be where do i get mods for hk in general

#

one was uploaded about two weeks ago on nexus actually its not as dead as i first thought

glacial furnace
#

You can Download most mods from there

quiet arrow
#

does modinstaller 2 also work on linux?

#

i have a windows pc, its just SOL rn

glacial furnace
buoyant fiber
quiet arrow
#

it doesnt modify game files i presume

#

so if it doesnt work it wont fuck up my base game in the process

#

?

heavy frigate
#

on a scale of "sure, try it" to "no you idiot" how bad an idea is it to go into hollow_knight_data, make my own Mods folder in the Managed folder, put the Randomizer 3 .dll into it myself, and see if that gets it to work without ModInstaller, since my Mac insists ModInstaller is "damaged or incomplete?"

quiet arrow
#

it will probably just not work lmao

glacial furnace
glacial furnace
quiet arrow
#

ye chances are the base game wont just load random dlls in a folder you make

heavy frigate
#

is that part of ModInstaller?

buoyant fiber
glacial furnace
quiet arrow
#

games generally dont do that

buoyant fiber
glacial furnace
glacial furnace
quiet arrow
#

when it says hollow knight file path, does it mean game install location?

buoyant fiber
#

i know why it wasnt working

#

the game was installed in D: steamlibrary

#

and not c

#

because i had not enough space to install the game atm

#

so now it should work

heavy frigate
glacial furnace
#

If you have any issue and i can't resolve it, try asking again later, other people might have the answer to your problem

quiet arrow
#

unrelated, i read "races-discussion" without reading the category it was in

real jacinth
#

and where did you put it

#

you should just move it to desktop, and run the app

#

after you unzip the zip of course

heavy frigate
#

ModInstaller 2, from the 3/09/2021 pin from this channel, unzipped, put it on Desktop, and I get the "may be damaged or incomplete" message

real jacinth
#

there's multiple messages from that day

#

which one

#

did you get the exe one by mistake

#

instead of the mac one

#

looks like you have 2 files in your screenshot

heavy frigate
#

no I definitely got the Mac one, I saw there were multiple

real jacinth
#

and that also doesn't look like your desktop

heavy frigate
#

in that screenshot I am looking at the ModInstaller folder I got when I unzipped the zip, which I placed in Desktop, I am looking at that folder which is on my Desktop via the Finder window

worthy mural
#

what do i do after i've unzipped the file?

glacial furnace
worthy mural
#

do I put it on my desktop first?

glacial furnace
buoyant fiber
#

how do I enable abilities and charms with qol?

heavy frigate
#

taking the ModInstaller application out of its folder-on-Desktop and straight onto the Desktop didn't change anything

buoyant fiber
#

nvm

real jacinth
#

did you move the other file that's there

heavy frigate
#

I did, I opened it and I also tried opening ModInstaller, and this was the result

#

(I tried running the application after opening the document)

rocky sand
#

?mods

worthy mural
#

when I click "browse local files," the mod installer doesnt open. why?

heavy frigate
#

how can I find modapi? I've been looking in the google drive but I don't see it in any of the folders

worthy mural
#

and when I try to unzip the file, it just recreates a folder

heavy frigate
#

found the API for Randomizer 2 (tho I'd like to use Randomizer 3, I couldn't find that one in the google drive and I just wanted to find out what the heck a modAPI was), and when I checked on it it just contained the folder hollow_knight_Data, then the subfolder Managed, then the subfolder Mods, and then inside that was the Randomizer 2 .dll file.
I already have the Randomizer 3 .dll file inside a Mods folder inside a Managed folder inside the folder hollow_knight_Data, so should I actually need a separate modAPI file to get it to work?

#

and ModInstaller 2 is just flat-out not working, I've tried deleting it & reinstalling it, I've tried restarting my computer several times, I've kept it on Desktop, but no matter what I do trying to open that application only ever gives me the "this application may be damaged or incomplete" pop-up and its icon is a grayed-out circle with a bar through it

hard snow
#

how do I install mods manually in modinstaller 2?

I havent installed any mods but now my save has it that whenever i heal I dont lose soul

#

Hello! I hope this is the right place. Does anyone have any experience making custom skins? I am using the Hollow Knight spritepacker and whenever I pack my sprites into the atlas, I see a white edge on them. However in the individual sprite pngs, they don't have the slight white outline. my little custom sprite is the purple octopus. It may not be noticeable, but in game it definitely shows

#

There’s a way to use one of the multiplayer mods coop tmk

#

I forgot where the link to the tutorial is

unique kite
#

Is there a readme file available for the "Job Change" mod?

#

I am curious about what this does

wheat orchid
#

Changes charms to change the knight’s job(?)

#

I assume charm descriptions are changed

#

If not, f

unique kite
#

so basically, Job Change effectively makes it so that the Knight takes on traits from Final Fantasy and be like a Black Mage/White Mage or something like that?

wheat orchid
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

unique kite
#

welp, youtube nor google is helping so I guess I'll just download it

wheat orchid
#

Probably has a readme explaining it

unique kite
#

It does, seems like an interesting idea, also going by the readme its a mod in progress as well

#

alas there doesn't appear to be a github or anything so it appears to also be closed-sourced, so I can assume

wheat orchid
#

There is last I checked

#

Also last I checked they didn’t upload the source and only uploaded the dll. I did tell them that they probably should upload the source though, so they probably did

unique kite
#

ok I see

wheat orchid
#

Goes a bit more in depth in the readme I think

unique kite
#

oh, thank you

peak cave
#

cutscenes are being skipped for me, and i don't know what mod is doing it

unique kite
#

well show us what you have installed

peak cave
#

in the corner

peak cave
#

what does it do?

wheat orchid
#

It skips cutscenes and does a lot more stuff

#

Makes some long animations shorter, re enables some speed running bugs

peak cave
#

it said skipable cutscenes

#

not skip all cutscenes

wheat orchid
#

Well it’s a option to skip cutscenes

#

You can change the options in it’s global settings file found in the save files path

thanks for the help

Is there a way to reset modinstaller2? there appears to be an issue with it, modinstaller works tho

wheat orchid
#

What’s the issue

#

Also if mod installer works just use that

unique kite
#

well it says "The Filename,directory name, volume syntax is incorrect"

#

I did delete some files since they were redundant and unnecessary to the game so I guess thats the issue

wheat orchid
#

Look in the pins on how to reset it

#

What did you delete

sometime ago the mod installer wasn't working so I had to manually add on the mods, since it works now, I deleted the folder and zip files that had those mods

I have an issue.

#

When I open Modinstaller, Grimmchild upgrades and Hollow point needed to update, so I did that, but now they aren't showing up as installed, and every time I click on the install button, nothing happens

#

Ok, I tried again, and Hollow point works, but grimmchild upgrades is still causing problems.

Yep, I saw the previous messages and did that.

Is it the same with Grimmchild upgrades?

if any other mods asks to update click yes

||tldr:

  • the only way to heal in Hollow Point is by damaging enemies without taking damage. Or by sitting on a bench.
  • you can't start a new file with it. You must create a file, then quit, then go back||

# gloomy coral screenshot your main menu

There isn't much to see, it just says that it's outdated when I open Modinstaller, and after i update it, it doesn't show up as installed, nor does it install when I click the install button. It's the same problem that hollow point had, so I'll try cancelling the update. Here's a screenshot of what the Modinstaller screen looks like, no change when I click on Install:

For Randomizer to work, you should have these mods:
Modding API
Mod common
Benchwarp
QoL
Serecore
Vasi
Randomizer

strange wigeon
#

thank you. Also it says hollow point is out of date. but updating it doesnt do anything

gloomy coral
strange wigeon
#

Ok, Thank you so much

heavy frigate
heavy frigate
#

also where can I find Modding API?

#

not at the moment

gloomy coral
#

screenshot what happens when you open modinstaller 2

heavy frigate
#

this is what happened earlier today when I was trying to get it to work. I was told to have ModInstaller 2 and the associated file (from the same zip folder) on Desktop

gloomy coral
#

delete all the modinsatller files

heavy frigate
#

this is the popup I get every time I've tried opening ModInstaller 2, whether it was in downloads folder, on my desktop, or even in the mods folder; I've tried rebooting my computer and I've un-installed and re-installed it twice

gloomy coral
#

then reset the installer (instructions in the pins)

heavy frigate
#

just to make sure we're on the same page, is that the one for Mac?

gloomy coral
#

yee

heavy frigate
#

also, which day is that pin from? I see a recent one for resetting/updating ModInstaller 1 but not ModInstaller 2

gloomy coral
heavy frigate
#

also also, by all files does that include deleting the application itself, or just the document that also came in the folder when I unzipped the package?

#

thank you

heavy frigate
#

thank you. To make sure I don't end up deleting the wrong thing (it's late where I am and I need to idiot-proof myself before I get totally sleep deprived), in which folder can I find ~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json ? like, what should I substitute for the ~ to locate the path in the first place?

gloomy coral
#

I'm pretty sure you find it by using terminal

heavy frigate
#

I'm not super tech-savvy, so sorry for asking for things that should probably be obvious :C , but what command do I need to run in terminal to delete that? I tried to locate ~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json and was told "No such file or directory"

cursive cloak
gloomy coral
#

maybe you can change the files in the resources folder idk

gloomy coral
#

and then delete the json

cursive cloak
#

I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Thanks

heavy frigate
#

just type in "~/.config/" into terminal?

gloomy coral
#

ask google

heavy frigate
# gloomy coral ask google

I probably won't be able to get it tonight (since it's just past midnight now), but thank you for bearing with me and getting me to this point hollowflower

#

im trying to install the mod installer app onto my hollow knight but cant seem to find the files. For reference its installed from the xbox app if that helps.
I know I already posted this in #hk-help but yeah I was informed that this was a thing

gloomy coral
#

where did you get the game from?

novel bronze
#

the xbox app

gloomy coral
#

you can't use mods on that version of the game.

#

you can only mod the GoG or Steam version

#

or dual boot linux

novel bronze
#

dang

#

thats unfortunate

#

can I ask why?

strange wigeon
#

Not entirely sure if this issue has to do with mods but this is what pops up when I open the game. Cant press anything

gloomy coral
#

hence dual booting linux lets you bypass that protection

novel bronze
#

besides for linux

strange wigeon
#

nothing special, I just tunred off everything but QoL and modding api and this happened

gloomy coral
strange wigeon
#

after i did that and opened the game i went back and the files were back even though i deleted them

gloomy coral
#

does the game open?

strange wigeon
#

it just foes to the same screen again

#

i tried unistalling and it worked once then when i went back in it was back to this screen

gloomy coral
#

which mods did you download?

strange wigeon
#

i currently have, Hollow Point, Bingo UI, Elderbug God, Enemy Randomizer, EnemyHPBar, Mod Common, Modding API, QoL, Randomizer 3, SereCore, Unofficial Hollow Knight Patch, and Vasi

gloomy coral
#

with these mods, when you open the game it doesnt let you press start game right?

strange wigeon
#

correct, even though the only one i have enabled is modding api

gloomy coral
#

verify integrity of game files and try again

soft mauve
#

Can i use different ways to download a mod in ps4 since it looks like i can't get it from normal download techniques

strange wigeon
#

huh well this is really weird but i figured it out. turns out I had QoL enabled. When I disabled it it worked just fine, tried enabling it again and the same issue happened

gloomy coral
#

same place as Moddingapi.globalsettings

gloomy coral
strange wigeon
#

still can't hit start. I mean I can just play without it but m very curious why it's happening

gloomy coral
soft mauve
#

Can't i use a connection to my computer

#

Like if i can modify ps4 files from my Computer

#

Or does it not work like that?

strange wigeon
#

I did, I went back to try again to be sure but the files didn't come back

gloomy coral
#

if the mod is disabled, the files won't come back

gloomy coral
strange wigeon
#

I enabled it again and they still haven't come back

#

I accidentally left the game open. But only the .json came back

#

alright closing and reopening the game made the other one come back. Deleted them both again and still coulfn

#

couldn't press start

novel bronze
#

so I was able to get access to my hollow knight file because I bypassed the windows protection thing, but ModInstaller still cant find it

#

wait I think I did it

gloomy coral
#

the problem isn't accesing, the modinstaller will need to replace a file which idt its possible without dual boot linux

strange wigeon
#

I figured it out. Without the Vasi Mod having QoL enabled will just not let you play the game (Except for when randomizer 3 is on for some reason it just says QoL is disabled)

#

Thank you for your time. Glad we got everything figured out

Yep

fair briar
#

ok do you have the modding api?

still elm
#

Yep

fair briar
#

ok then did you run the game once?

still elm
#

Yes

#

Wait

#

What do you mean then?

#

Like

After what

fair briar
#

after you installed the modding api

still elm
#

Yes

#

I also have debug mod

fair briar
#

ok then did you download the mod

still elm
#

Yep

fair briar
#

ok do you have the .dll

#

otherwise, extract the file

still elm
#

Yes

#

I do

fair briar
#

place the dll in the mods folder

still elm
#

Yep

fair briar
#

then download vasi

#

get it from the drive

still elm
#

OK

fair briar
#

it needs to be here

still elm
#

Wait

#

I tried to open the game again

#

And somehow it is like this

fair briar
#

still elm
#

Alright

fair briar
#

still elm
#

No...

fair briar
#

still elm
#

I am getting it

#

Thanks for help by the way

fair briar
#

still elm
#

pliant lantern
#

?mods

fair briar
pliant lantern
fair briar
#

he said he had it...

pliant lantern
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

still elm
#

I believe i have it

pliant lantern
#

They might have it, but it's not installed

fair briar
#

if he got debug mod working...

still elm
#

Maybe it is not suitable for mod

pliant lantern
#

ModdingAPI shows on the main menu

still elm
#

In new versions

fair briar
#

wait

#

do you have the modding api for current version

fair briar
still elm
#

I will get it again anyway

pliant lantern
#

still elm
#

Wait for me a little bit

gloomy coral
#

@still elm screenshot the modinstaller

#

which mods do you have downlaoded?

fair briar
#

he doesnt have it

still elm
#

It doesn't work

still elm
#

Also

pliant lantern
#

I'm pretty sure Mac saying that ModInstaller2 is "broken" has a known solution

still elm
#

Does 'mod common' work like modding api

fair briar
#

no

pliant lantern
#

but idk what it is off the top of my head lol

still elm
#

OK

pliant lantern
#

Fwiw, you need ModCommon for most mods anyway

#

But you need ModdingAPI for all mods

still elm
#

Ok

#

Where can I get modding api again

pliant lantern
#

?mods

fair briar
#

does the drive have the api?

#

who made modcommon anyway

pliant lantern
pliant lantern
# fair briar does the drive have the api?

The problem is that the drive is sorted as author(s) - mod_name, instead of the other-way-around.

It makes it really hard to see the name of a lot of mods on it. I recommend looking at the drive in "list view"

fair briar
#

oh if the drive has the authors then i can see who made modcommon

#

modern breach
#

ok

fair briar
#
  1. do you have the modding-api
modern breach
#

yes i should

fair briar
#
  1. did you run the game once after installing the modding-api
modern breach
#

no

fair briar
#
  1. if yes, is there a folder called mods
fair briar
modern breach
#

ok see ya in about 4 or less minutes

still elm
#

I just want to ask

#

Modding api is just some folder plus two small programme that insure mods works right?

modern breach
#

i need a link to the modding api

still elm
#

?mods

still elm
#

actually

modern breach
#

thanks mr bot

still elm
#

it is not in there

#

It is here

fair briar
#

the modding api is a assembly.Csharp.dll

still elm
#

Yes

#

I mean

#

OK

#

I do have it

modern breach
#

thanks ruttie

fair briar
#

it replaces the assembly.Csharp.dll already present in the managed folder

modern breach
#

ok

fair briar
#

if you run the game once, it produces a mods folder

modern breach
#

duly noted

still elm
#

WHat if I have nothing in my managed folder?

fair briar
#

in the mods folder you place the modname.dll

fair briar
modern breach
#

ok

#

see ya people

still elm
#

OK

gloomy coral
still elm
#

thx

timid ermine
#

after I have installed mods can I use a previous save or would I need to start the game again

fair briar
#

you can but its risky

still elm
#

You can still have previous save

timid ermine
#

ahh okie

still elm
#

YOu should make a backup

timid ermine
#

Ye I have made one just incase ahaa

fair briar
#

if you have mods that completely change the game you cant play the save again after you remove the mods

timid ermine
#

ahh okie

#

I was just getting a hp bar mod to make it easier for bosses for me ahaha

still elm
#

Nice

timid ermine
#

thank you guys for the help ❤️

still elm
#

Ruttie

#

If the modding API does not create a mods folder, shall I make one myself?

#

(But in the game>option, there is 'mod' there'

fair briar
#

hmm

#

it should create one

#

are you at the right place?

still elm
#

Yes

#

I replace the original one

fair briar
#

you can try to make one and see if it works

still elm
#

OK

fair briar
#

be sure to call it Mods

still elm
#

shall i put it in the managed folder

still elm
#

Also I want to ask

#

IS there save state for debug mod in the newest version

fair briar
#

lemme look

#

yes

#

its in the binds tab

still elm
#

OK

#

THanks a lot

#

Also i am just curious

#

Have you finish the patheon of hallownest, ruttie

fair briar
#

yes

still elm
#

wow

fair briar
#

i have all achievements

still elm
#

You are really good

#

I need 5 more achievement to get full

fair briar
#

nice

still elm
#

also, how do you use multi player mod

fair briar
#

which one

still elm
#

Do you need to be in the same network or something

fair briar
#

i reccomend HKMP

still elm
#

Ok

#

(I thought there is only one)

fair briar
#

lemme send smth

#

Simple Install Guide

  1. Download the latest version of HKMP.dll from https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP/releases/latest

  2. Download the latest version of the ModInstaller:
    Windows:
    https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe

Mac:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/819023991296753684/ModInstaller.zip

  1. Use ModInstaller to Install ModCommon (and if you're on Mac, ModdingAPI), then close ModInstaller.

  2. Navigate to your mods folder:
    Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/content/resources/data/managed/mods

Notes:

  • These are the default Steam locations. If you are using the GOG version, or changed your Hollow Knight install location, then this will be different.
  • If you did the previous steps correctly, this folder should currently have ModCommon.dll in it.
  1. Put the HKMP.dll file that you downloaded in step 1 into this mods folder

∞. That should be everything! When you next launch HollowKnight, at the top-left corner of the main menu, you should see a list of the mods you have installed (ModdingAPI, HKMP, and ModCommon; as well as any others you may have installed). If something doesn't seem to be correct, then double check that you followed each step, and then write a detailed message about what part isn't working.

I'm having trouble finding Serecore and Mod common in the google drive, I see a "Mod console" but not "Mod common" and when I search for Serecore nothing comes up

novel bronze
fair briar
#

and press ctrl+g to search

heavy frigate
#

ModInstaller isn't working on my laptop. Even if I have it open on my Desktop, even after deleting & re-installing, even after restarting my laptop, every time I try to open ModInstaller I get a pop-up that says "this application may be damaged or incomplete," so I'm just finding the mods myself. I have a hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods folder and I'm putting the .dll files there myself, I just need to get Mod common and Serecore and then I'll have what I need for Randomizer 3 (I already have QoL, Modding API universal, Vasi, and Benchwarp)

fair briar
#

ah mac

heavy frigate
#

yeah

fair briar
#

lemme give you the links

heavy frigate
#

while I was backreading & searching yesterday I kept seeing other people having the "damaged or incomplete" problem with ModInstaller 2 on Mac and no one got a solution for it so I'm just trying to install the other mods manually

#

if that doesn't work and ModInstaller is the absolute only option I'll have to find resources for learning how to properly operate Terminal on Mac as a last resort

heavy frigate
#

thank you

#

what do Vasi, Mod common, and Serecore do on their own?

fair briar
#

only library's

#

other mods use them to work

heavy frigate
#

gotcha

fair briar
#

they dont do anything on their own

heavy frigate
#

do they go into hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods anyway?

fair briar
#

yes

heavy frigate
#

thank you

#

when I went into Modding API to get its .dll file, I found that .dll in its own Managed folder outside of a Mods folder, should I put it in the same place in Hollow Knight's data folder?

#

(the .dll folder Assembly-CSharp.dll)

fair briar
#

what

buoyant tide
#

hello im confused and cant find the link to the mod installer can anyone help?

fair briar
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
buoyant tide
#

thanks!

fair briar
#

in the modding api??

buoyant tide
#

its installing as a tmp file?

fair briar
#

wait untill its done downloading

heavy frigate
# fair briar ?i

when I unzipped the Modding API package from the link you gave me, it had a folder called Hollow Knight Data, inside which was a folder called Managed, which contained Assembly-CSharp.dll, next to a Mods folder

fair briar
#

why you responding to the ? i lol

heavy frigate
#

so I'm wondering if I should put that .dll inside the Managed folder next to the Mods folder, or into the Mods folder

#

it was the most recent one you'd sent when I started typing

fair briar
#

only the dll

#

replace the assembly.Csharp.dll thats already there

heavy frigate
#

which folder do I put the .dll from the Modding API package into?

fair briar

?help

heavy frigate
#

that's not answering my question, I'm already in hollow_knight.app's contents, I just need to know the name of the folder I put the .dll from the Modding API package into

fair briar
#

you gat the assembly.Csharp

glacial furnace
fair briar
#

then

heavy frigate
#

there is Assembly-CSharp.dll

fair briar
#

you search for the assembly.Csharp thats already there

heavy frigate
#

there is another file called Assembly-CSharp.xml hanging out deeper inside the package, can I ignore that one?

fair briar
#

you then replace the default assembly.Csharp

heavy frigate
#

there isn't already an assembly.Csharp in my Hollow Knight data folder

#

when I went into the Data folder of the vanilla HK I got from Steam there was just the "Managed" folder and nothing more and then inside of that folder I created "Mods" to hold the .dll files

fair briar
#

wait a sec

glacial furnace
heavy frigate
#

because I do not have ModInstaller because I thought that moving .dll files into a folder would be simpler than learning how to use Terminal, which I have never used

#

pasting them where?

#

here?

fair briar
#

the fixed modinstaller for mac is comming weaverparty

heavy frigate
#

yay

fair briar
#

just wait for a bit and use the modinstaller

#

thats the easiest

heavy frigate
#

can't I just put the Modding API .dll into one of the folders I currently have, since there is no other assembly.Csharp file that needs to be replaced, and I just need to know which folder it would be placed into by ModInstaller?

fair briar
#

or ill just give the explanation anyway

heavy frigate
#

because for now I have everything in place, besides the Modding API .dll

glacial furnace
heavy frigate
#

thank you

fair briar
#
  1. download the modding api
  2. search for a file named assembly.Csharp.dll in your game files
  3. run the game once
  4. a mods folder appeared, search for it
  5. place your mods in that folder
heavy frigate
#

I have already manually created a Mods folder within the Managed folder within the hollow_knight_Data folder, in which I have placed the .dll files for the other mods

I think the API needs to create a mods folder by itself

heavy frigate
#

so for now I can just move that mods folder onto my desktop, try running the game with just the Modding API .dll, see if it creates a mods file, and then if it has, I can copy the contents from the desktop folder into the one created by Modding API?

by which I meant the Assembly_CSharp.dll file I obtained within the unzipped Modding API package I downloaded

pliant lantern
#

The Assembly file needs to go:

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/ (you'll then need to right-click and select show package contents, and navigate to resources -> data)

Assembly-CSharp.dll is what it needs to be called be sure to have the right name

heavy frigate
#

I tried running Hollow Knight, with all of the Randomizer 3 dependencies' .dll files (Serecore, Vasi, Mod common, Benchwarp, QoL) in the Mods folder and Assembly_CSharp.dll in the Managed folder, and the game menu was vanilla

#

It should overwright the vanilla one

heavy frigate
#

okay it looks like when I opened Hollow Knight Assembly-CSharp.dll renamed and moved itself into Data, is it supposed to do that?

#

there wasn't previously any kind of assembly .dll hanging out in Data by itself

pliant lantern
#

It shouldn't move itself, no...
But the vanilla one should have been there

#

Unless the vanilla one was in data, and I have it mixed up in my notes

heavy frigate
#

the Assembly-CSharp.dll that is currently in the Data folder of Hollow_Knight_Data was last modified (presumably by the modder who made it) on feb 20 of this year so I don't think this one is vanilla

pliant lantern
#

You can always launch the game, and see what happens

heavy frigate
#

I tried, and the menu still looks vanilla

#

should I try restarting my computer again?

gloomy coral
#

That won't do anything

#

If you see a Loading Bar when starting the game, the moding API works

heavy frigate
fair briar
#

Yeah that dont work

heavy frigate
#

I didn't see a loading bar unfortunately

fair briar
#

Ok how about just wait till the modinstaller is fixed

gloomy coral
fair briar
#

It will ve fixed recently

heavy frigate
#

(also while I'm still not to having this working I am super grateful you all helped me get to this point & bearing with my slight tech-illiteracy)

fair briar
heavy frigate
#

checked Options on the main menu, no mod option

fair briar
#

No loading bar no nothing

heavy frigate
#

no

gloomy coral
#

Did you replace the existing file?

heavy frigate
#

Assembly-CSharp.dll, from the Modding API zip file, is currently in hollow_knight_Data

#

there was no pre-existing file in Data

gloomy coral
#

Cuz you have to replace it

heavy frigate
#

when I first clicked "show package contents" on the Hollow Knight application, and I found the Data folder, that Data folder contained a Managed folder and nothing else, and I created the Mods folder within Managed manually

gloomy coral
#

You have to place it in resources data managed

#

I think

#

Try doing the steps from here

heavy frigate
#

hmm, when I go into Resources and then into Data, there's a lot of assets files, globalgamemanagers files, lots and lots of levels files, boot.config, and a Streaming Assets folder, but no Assembly

#

thank you, I'll check that out

#

do the other mods' .dll files also need to be within a Mods file within Hollow_Knight/Resources/Data/Managed, rather than within Hollow_Knight/Data/Managed?

pliant lantern
#

content -> resources -> data -> managed -> mods

gloomy coral
pliant lantern
#

Wait.. Are my notes completely backwards then?

#

Also, that .pdf is amazing

gloomy coral
#

It's me being dumb

heavy frigate
pliant lantern
#

Idk why you thank me lol. I'm pretty sure that I contributed the least help here

#

But I'm glad it's working either way grublove

heavy frigate
#

@fair briar @glacial furnace @gloomy coral thank you all for your help! :D

Just a correction, i checked and custom knight skins are content -> data -> managed mods

pliant lantern
#

like this:
hollow_knight.app -> content -> data-> managed mods ?

gloomy coral
#

Yes
