afaik you can also remove voidheart w/ debug mod
just click it
and it will go back to zero

Is there a way to play multiplayer locally?
hello, im having an error where when my mods are installed and I open hollow knight, it pulls up a unity error. when the mod's are uninstalled, hollow knight works just fine. as a note, i just updated the modinstaller to 8.7.1
What’s the error
Are you trying mods on the beta
yeah, does that not work
Nope
We have a version working on it, but every mod needs to be rebuilt(some need to be rewritten)
So we’re waiting for the official 1.5 release to update the installer’s ver
ah well, im back with more problems. i removed the beta, but now the mods just aren't appearing after loading the game.
on the top left?
yeah.
if so is there a mod option in options
nope. the mods seems to not be changing anything to hollow knight
no mods options, no top left
which installer do you use
v8.7.1
1 or 2
1 i think
Press enable all mods
you have it on steam?
yeah
i have done that
i always forget that 
no luck
ok go to steam
options > properties
local files > verify integrity
then launch the modinstaller
it says 1 file will be re-accuired if all goes well
all files successfully validated? is that what i want
installers running. not sure what you mean by seeing if it installs it
never had that happen
You may also need to delete the Assembly C sharp files, but I'm not at my computer to check exactly which folder the backups and such are in
backups?
Mod Installer makes backups of the assembly csharp file, to use when reverting back and forth
Also, @gritty bloom , do you have multiple installs of HK?
noting this. i can't find any folders with modinstaller, just the exe file. i have only one install of hk
You should have them. They might not be in the same folder as the main one though.
delete the installer
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
download it again
In the path listed in APPDATA, there should be a folder named ModInstaller.
where do i find appdata. sorry im terrible at this
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%
ok, im there now. there is now modinstaller folder in it
oh im blind found it. so i delete it and reinstall modinstaller?
yep! thanks a lot!

and can i turn on both the room and item randomisers at the same time?
yes
So if the owner wanted the mod on the modinstaller then it s there
so i reinstalled it
Afaik the randomizers on the installer are enemy, rando 1,2,3

lol
so this "randomiser 3" mod will work for both room and item rando?
Yes
I mean that it has item and room rando
You'll need
- Randomizer 3
- Enemy randomizer
- QoL
- Vasi
- Modcommon
- Serecore
- Benchwarp
Mulhima what did i mis
Serecore
Nice
And benchwarp
7 requirements
and you don't need enemy rando for rando 3 to work
gotcha
(Actually most people want it)
I found a functional mod and i am no longer in the void.
?
sounds good?
yesterday i sat on a bench that shouldnt exist and woke up in the void 2 million units of measurement away from the world
Bench warp
noclip takes too long
Ah
i also have a mod somewhere called 'Benchwarpfix', that drops you into dirtmouth when you load a save with a non existing bench (or otherwise manage to go into -200 position region)
That i was at an impossible location
Then which mod?
On github?
Hazard respawn is a debug mod function
https://github.com/SFGrenade/BenchWarpFix/releases/download/v1.1/BenchWarpFix.dll though it may cut fps in half, i should update this at some point
I will now abuse my powers because it respawned me on ||the side where you get monarch wings|| 👍
none, it's a while true in a coroutine, is fucking awful for frames
Oh
similar to how the old version of PressGToDab also cut your fps in half, same story (though this only did it on the main menu screen)
for some reason if i install customknight it just crashes my game at the end of the mod loading screen
Send modlog.txt
where would that be?
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
when did discord add this fucking awful file preview
Do you have any other mods?
nope except for mod common bc you need that
try disconnecting a controller and reconnect when the main menu shows up
wait does that actually fix it sometimes
np
I installed hollow point, but when I shoot any gun, the bullets just stay a short distance away from me
Please make sure you read the readme for hollow point, and check the charms you are using
im thinking about doing the twp challenge for the fool custom knight skin, do i need to somehow download a specific save file or can i just use my main save with all the things?
You'll need the same skills as the save file provided has
So, its reccomended you use the save provided
(I can be totaly wrong, but i dont think the guys of twp will be to mad if you use your own)
ok thx
Is it possible to use savestates using debug mod cp?
Yes
It's in the first page
help the modinstaller wont start
wdym won't start?
i click and nothing happens
i tried deleteing the modinstaller foldeir in %appdata% too
or rather
soemthigns happens then it closes after like 0.1 seconds

yo, what does the 'AdditionalMaps' mod do? description says nothing
doesn't it say
A mod that adds maps for the White Palace and Godhome.
?
well, it does add 2 new maps
oh fuck
well, whatever
uninstalling and reinstalling should give a more descriptive readme now
yeah, i probably have to reinstall everything anyways, seems the mods fucked up my game
menu bugging out in multiple ways, cant navigate to most video options and sometimes i get kicked out the pause screen while the menu stays in the background and the game keeps running
weird shit
hm :/
When I click on the ModInstaller app, it just won't open
The game's still running with mods just fine
I just can't use the program
hey can i get mod installer from one of you guys
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
ok ty
Check the pins
Yup, now it works, ty!
Do you happen to be using the hkmp mod
if you mean the multiplayer mod, no
mods i installed are: benchwarp; enemy hp bar (uninstalled); modcommon; qol; vasi
oh and controller vibration
already uninstalled, doesnt change anything
i already tried uninstalling each mod, no change
no idea
Is it called mod installer 2 or not
Mod installer 1
didnt download from here
Try clicking revert to vanilla then clicking enable all installed mods
"unable to locate vanilla hollow knight"
Did you get hk on steam or gog
Ok
I’m going to try giving you instructions, but I’m at 1%
Close the installer
Open steam
Go to your library
Right click hk
Click properties
Click local files
Click verify integrity
Wait for files to not validate
Open the installer
alright ty, will do
Final instruction: click enable all installed mods in the installer
haha alright. did that and it works. sadly im not gonna play hk until next week anyways as im not at home and the laptop im using doesnt have a dedicated graphics card. greenpath drops to 20 fps lol
hey, new here and looking for help, I'm running the Hollowpoint mod but any time I shoot no bullet comes out, and I can only shoot once. Am I just misunderstanding how the gun works or is something off? I've only tested it by opening a new save file
is it because I've installed other mods as well?
do you have modcommon
yes
and you made the save without the mod, exited the game, then turned on the mod, then entered the newly created save?
no, I created a new save with the mod active
so, all the mods installed, boot up the game, create new save, gun's there but only shoots once with no bullet
ahhhhh
omg, thank you, lmao, sorry for wasting your time 😅
my time is wasted by waking up every morning
😳
In setting up the modding API, when I try to build it, says 1 failed. Some namespaces are missing such as JsonProperty
43 errors in Mod class all pertaining to type is defined in an assembly that is not referenced
Delete whatever it was that you downloaded
?I suggested you download the mod installer
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
If you're trying to make mods instead of download them you want #archived-modding-development
yeah building API to make them, will go there, thanks
Np, good luck. 😊
you also don't need to build the API to make mods
just grab the API file that's already built and use it as a reference for new mods
yeah could do that
does anyone know which api pale prince uses
thank you 
is there a fix for Unhandled Exception errors when running installer? Specifically running into it when trying to update QoL
first pin
#archived-modding-help message this one too depending on how old your installer is
How would I check if this is Installer 1? I think I got it sometime in 2020 but can't recall exactly when
ah
yeah, looks like I need to redownload
When is it up?
where I can find the files of the mods, I want to download manually, my ModInstaller is not working.
how is it not working
the app does not open
I've done this, no matter what I do, always ask me to download it manually
what error pops up
the microsoft net framework error
the one that's mentioned in the first pin?
yeah
when i run the file as admin it just disappears from the desktop, and does not appear in the recycle bin
what am I supposed to do when modinstaller2 complains that randomizer 3 is out of date? Clicking the orange box doesn't do anything, it's still out of date when I relaunch the mod manager
How long did you wait once clicking the box, and was the game on
Any fixes for debug mod not showing up? I may be using it wrong but it's not in the menu when I pause the game
?
Alright so I'm trying to use the Hollow Point mod and I'm trying to shoot the gun but no bullets come out and it doesnt consume any Soul
Is this the most recent mod installer? Sorry, I am new to modding.
Im sure thousands have said this, but I can't open Modinstaller on Mac, It says app is damaged or broken, is there a fix out there, or a guide
Check the pins pals, theres a second version for mac and linux
I downloaded, and it installs mono and everything, but does not open
Huh, well I got nothin. Maybe try and open it again?
drag it out of your downloads , perhaps to desktop
Right I somewhat got it, I had to open the exec file inside the contents, Well let know if any more problems occur
Does anyone know if I installed the correct mod installer
Says Modding API is out of date
Looks the same as mine, but also says out of date so I dont know
ty
Mine looks different but it's probablyebecause I'm using a different version aka windows version
@dusk fjord is on windows version, but also says out of date
so wondering if it is a similar issue
if it is an issue that is
I've just been struggling for the past 30 minutes trying to get hollow point to work
What issue?
I can get teh mod to install, but I cant gain adrenaline or shoot the gun
Its in pinned comments
It is?
To fix Soul (after using Hollow Point)
🔸 Using QoL (Quality of Life) mod:
- Go to your save files (type ?saves in chat if you don't know where that is)
- Locate user#.json (with # being the save slot number)
- CTRL+F "focusMP_amount"
- Set the value to 33
🔸 Without using another mod:
- Go to https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- Go to your save files (type ?saves in chat if you don't know where that is)
- Locate user#.dat (with # being the save slot number)
- Upload that file to the website
- CTRL+F "focusMP_amount"
- Set the value to 33
- "Download encrypted (PC)"
- Rename it to the original filename (it will download as user1.dat, rename if you edited a different save slot.)
- Move the file back to the save file folder (and overwrite the old one)."
that might be it
Read the mods readme
I ahve, I've tried basically everything!
Read the readme
The instructions are in there
In a section called "very important to read"
Sorry, but is this the newest version of the mod installer?
Did you get it from here
Yep.
Then yeah
K, thank you sir :D
Hey thanks mick!
Fwiw, there's 2 ModInstallers that work on Windows.
You're currently using "ModInstaller2", but the main ModInstaller is still being updated and works too. Typically speaking, the first one is a bit more intuitive to use for people, but it doesn't really matter which one you use.

hey i've downloaded the modinstaller 2 on macos and i can open the modinstaller but when i open the game itself, it crashes shortly after
any ideas on how to fix this?
uhh modcommon and modding api were already downloaded and i downloaded custom knight and daughter of hallownest
and i don't have a controller
Nvm then
I am trying to use MonoMod to patch the assembly, but it is saying it can't find "Assembly.exe". Where is that file located?
Go to steam, right click hk ->properties->local files->verify integrity of game files
And then open modinstaller and download the modding api only and try of open hk
hmm okay i'll try that
hello, is there any way to specify another folder location where hollow knight is installed with ModInstaller?

read the readme
can i install all the mods and just not enable all of them? (to save my load times)
You could, but I would always recommend to just delete the mods you dont want to use
ok
if i disable them, would they cause any load time difference or change to the game?
Yes, but its still just wasted space, it takes the same time in the modloader to delete a mod that it would take to disable it, so why not just do that
i still like having them all there, its just personal preferance
disabled mods do not affect load speeds
or change the game in any way
ok cool, so then i can install them all and just disable the ones i dont want to use at that moment?
yes
ok, thanks!
but still most of the mods are under 1 mb large
the biggest one is 40 mb iirc
think its the pale chamion or pale prince
something with pale lurker/PV
makes sense as they add alot of attacks
the more the better. Feel like a vanilla game would be too easy since i beat p4, so i want a bigger challenge
Beat P5
(but no way im beating p5 within the next month of my life)
yeah lol
That's a bigger challenge right there
Aah shit, wanted to write the same lmao
lol
everyone had the same idea
lol
Yeah, and after that, do bindings, you still have some pretty brutal challenges left, even without mods
ive done all 4 bindings for all pantheons up to sage
(one at a time obv)
Welp, you still have 2 left, and then AB, and you could do radHoG, as you can see, the game still has some things to offer, its super painful, but its there
i have done radiant fights (not all but 7 sofar iirc)
ive tried but im very bad at it
i can be fast when i dont need to but when i try to beat the game fast i always die in, like, greenpath or fungal wastes
also whats AB?
absolute radiance?
ah, ok
My Pbs have deaths in them
ok
All bindings at once
you dont have to get sub 1 hour immediatly
ok
ik, im trying for sub 2 hrs
but i might try again
ive since learned how to menu drop and skip to hornet it greenpath
in*
(i also need to 112% the game im at 110% in my first save)
im doing a modded run for my second playthrough
anyways if you want to continue about speedrunning go to #speedrunning
ok, sorry
i now cant open the modinstaller
it keeps telling me grimmchild upgrades and job ge is outdated and when i uptade it it wont open
then if i open modinstaller again it says the mods are outdated
hi! quick question: is there a debug mod for linux? i only found windows and mac so far
When it asks you to update, press no
It's a bug
ok
Mods are common for all platforms
Use the modinstaller to download mods
what kinda mods are there? i only know of room randomizer
is there anything actually worth installing
can i still use grimmchild upgrades and job change?
bc i see if i press no it uninstalls them
i want one where i can just practice sections again and again, i think debug mod is the way to go there
mod summaries have a small description of each mod

It is debug
Download them manually ig
thankyou
thank you!
ok
i'm actually still lost... the modinstaller only comes as a .exe-file. i don't think this will help me with linux? or do i have to execute it with wine?
guess i'll try the manual mod installation
why is my customtrial editor dumb please
it places mobs anywhere but in the spot where i want them to be 
its just a visual glich
You can account for the misplacement to place it properly
customtrial editor is useless for me as i cant place enemy's on the ground
i'd like to but i'm not able to place them on the ground
the trial editor is just broken for some people
lets code with the xml then 
Also some enemies like tik tiks don't work
can child of light and charm overhaul work together?
Place an enemy at the extreme points and see
ok the ground is at y:9 and the right extreme x:110
yes if child of light does not change charms
it changes chaman stone...
if charm overhaul changes shaman stone theres a 50% change it will work and 50% not
:/
depends on the code that child of light uses
If you have two mods that change a single charm, then they likely won't work together
If they affect the same charms, then you will have to try it
the api docs has a method listed to make charm be changable by other mods
so theres a possibility that the charm has both effects
the not charm part should work
also, if i say revert back to unmodded, will it disable all mods are uninstall them?
disable
ok cool, thanks!
ok
if you use revert back the button will change to enable all mods, that will enable the modding api again
ok
which trial do i have to start to play my custom trial ?
3
ok thx
hello, I installed the hollow knight mod installer over three months ago and I've been using it a lot all this time, but today it kinda stopped working, i cant open the app anymore, if I try another app appears on my desktop, its called modinstaller autoupdate, and if I try to click on it nothing happens.

just installed redwing and noticed you have infinite soul
is this a bug or does the mod make everything harder aswell
also you have shadow dash immediatley
my game doesn't accept controller input anymore. is this something anybody else encountered after installing the mod api?
never used controller with pc, so i dont know
yeah, i always used it so far, so it's a new development that it doesn't work
The readme would probs answer that question better
it doesnt, no
i read it then came here to ask since it didnt explain well
thanks! i tried all but remapping all keys to keyboard and no success yet, but at least i know that this is an issue that comes up
no
then maybe its intended
i just got lightbringer since they said it works with lightbringer
in the trailer video it works like it should
no inf soul
also i have shadow dash immediately
you meant blackmoth?
no
lightbringer
heres a vid
also i went completely black when i entered the dark area
imma try blackmoth real quick
maybe that fixes it
it seems like its broken
i have infinite dash in vanilla redwing like i should have in blackmoth
and still inf soul
wierd
@fair briar
i never encounterd this so dont think me being a profesional
remove both mods
all of them
redwing, blackmoth and lightbringer
(and redwing assets)
then create a save
then enable the mods
load the save, quit the save and reload the save
ok
no, didnt help
then i cant help
Anyone know how to reset my nail damage
i have tried disabling hte debug mod but still my nail damage is high and is one hitting every boss can anyone tell me how to fix this
Hi all, new to using mods in HK, read up this chat a fair distance and couldnt quite see anyone with the same issue - the game won't launch to the main menu if any mods other than ModCommon are enabled (obviously with the API in place also). Anyone experienced this before?
I am using ModInstaller2 for windows

you're going to have to describe your issue a bit more
Fair - More specifically when trying to launch the game with anything other than ModMapper (and similar 'background' mods if you like, like Vasi or SereCore), the game won't pass the white 'loading' bar before it stops working. Have disabled mods, uninstalled and reinstalled mods as well at the game itself but it's the same issue each time so feel like I've missed something
ffs 🤣 cheers mate, works a treat
In the pins it says the path is %appdata% for that installer
Install debug again and lower your nail damage. Nail damage is stored in your save file so it doesn’t matter if you uninstalled debug
Yes it iss, thank you

so....anyone got any idea how to help me?
reset life
idk, it happens to me too sometimes. Make sure that when u open modinstaller, you just wait for it to open. For me it takes a bit to start and then if i open it a second time i get those error messages.
actually idk this is normal or not but in my hollow knight file i pressed mods-customknight , then it brings me back to hollow_knight_Data again, is this normal?
no
Mods > Custom Knight > folder with skin name > Png's
you probably extracted a skin that has the whole hollow_knight_Data folder in there

Go to save files and delete debugmod.global settings
No
ok, thanks!
Im assuming the 0 is my deaths and the 12 is how many enemies ive killed? (sorry for asking so many questions today lol)
oh nvm heart is how many hits ive taken
do i need windows 10 to run mods?
I would like to install this mod, but it isn't in the list in modInstaller2, and it didn't load when I tried installing it manually alongside the installer.

Am I able to mod hollow knight if I have it installed through Xbox?
I am trying to install the mod installer but it cant find the game and apparently I don't have the permissions to be able to go into the xbox files
no
Don't download mods from nexus
The modinstaller has a mod that can do that
It's called QoL mod
Download it, run the game and open save files location. There you'll be able to open a .json file where you can change charm notch costs
I see. I tried using DebugMod since the description seemed more applicable.
Thank you for the help.

I see the JSon file you are talking about, but it does not have all the keys. Do I just add ones to string values following the format in the nexus link?
wdym doesnt have all the keys?
just ctrl f charmcost and change it
this is QoL.GlobalSettings
you have to open user1.json or user2.json
depends on which save slot you wanna edit
You didn’t use Qol
you probs have to open the game and run the save file for it it generate
Ah
I think you have to not only load the file but save it
I loaded but then used alt-f4
I also had debug enabled and specifically wanted to avoid letting it save some accidental nail damage changes I made
By the way, how do I unbind controls for that mod?
debug changes the nail damage in the save the second you press the button
go to debugmod.GlobalSettings file and delete the line related to that bind
you can change the nail damage back to how it was originally
Since all the changes were accidental, I don't know how much I changed it by. Is the default value 4?
5
Base is 5, each upgrade is 4 more
Make sure you don't have any charms on to be certain
you can see what current value is on screen with debug up
"nail dmg" is a value in the left menu
Is this pin still up to date with charmCost IDs?
my damage is back to normal, thanks you two
Yeah, there haven't been any charms added
this is the charmIDs, the charm costs can be seen from the wiki
Yeah, I was wondering if the IDs matched with the charmCosts
Like if I wanted to change the hiveblood cost I would change CharmCost_29 to something other than 4
just change the number
No but most charm costs are pretty well know and you could just check in-game
Btw if you're making a mod pls use modding-dev
they want to edit charm costs for themselves
There's some kind of miscommunication here
I'm not asking if that image shows the costs,
I'm asking if that image's IDs line up with the order in the save editing thing
Is a console save encrypted the same way as a pc save?
some devs' organizational skills aren't great, so IDK, maybe the cost and the menu IDs are different
(this is why I asked, not something I am still unclear on)
You can check costs in game but ids not so thats why it was pinned
I am having a glitch were I turn invisible randomly for no reason does anyone know what mod may be causing this?
which mods do you have?
silence
where can find the sprite dump?

Debug mod has a key for this(default one is delete)
is there a google drive where i can manually install mods without the installer
The installer makes installing mods easier
i know but every time after i try and use the installer for getting custom knight my game is just a black screen when i start it
Do you have a controller?
Unplug the controller before opening the game
And plug it in after you reach the main menu
That's why you gotta unplug
i havnt plugged it in once yet
#archived-modding-help message
Follow thus message,s instructions and delete all the files with globalsettings.json and globalsettings.json.bak in their name
Modcommon?
oh yea
that too
i donno. i see the modding api and debug in the top left but when i use the installer and try to get custom knight it just stops
Did you download any skins?
ye, i downloaded zote and grimm knight
Screenshot how it's placed
and your title screen
ok
gimme a sec
oh and i have pink bow 2.0
as soon as it downloads it does this
before i even put in other skins in the custom knight folder
all those PNGs are in the wrong spot
they should be in folders in the customknight folder
the installer put them in there
only if you put the installer to reference a wrong location
oh shi
did you use the "manual" install button to put these in?
cuz you shouldn't do that either
that's for actual mods
nope
not skins
okay, well that doesn't do this
that just gives you a dll
and makes the customknight folder
i think it dumps the default folder in the custom knight folder out in my mod folder
because the default folder is completely empty
you can keep pointing fingers if you want, but the installer doesn't do that
the customknight install also does not include the charm pngs
so those came from you
somehow
Is videos->hkstuff->hkbackup the place your real game is?
🤔
well that's a new feature
your install path is set 1 level too high
you should change it
or 2 levels even
but your mod dll files are in the right spot....
did you reset it recently?
yea
Why did you put the dll files in the folder?
?
well reset it again and make sure you set the install path properly
There are no dll files in that folder
it should be the folder above hollow_knight_data
That’s their mods folder?
yes
Shouldn’t the dll files be there?
so either the install path is too high up
Then why this question
or they moved the PNG files
Cuz I'm stupid
im pretty sure the path is too high
which is why I asked about reset
I didn't realise the path was diff
al good
b/c a previous install path would have put the dlls in the right spot
and resetting it too high would put PNGs.... not here tho
it wouldn't even run
I don't see how the installer could have possibly put the files here
they would be in a created folder called default
not in mods
i dont know but when i install custom knight i just goes into mods and not in the default folder
if the installer doesn't detect the API, it won't run
yup, its not running
It = modinstaller or it = hk?
the mods themselves arnt running or showing up
and we still need a screenshot of your title screen
and probably your installer too
you should probably just reinstall the game tbh
is there a mods option in options
oh shoot i forgot about that
Does the mods menu get removed when you remove the api?
bro its not there
screenshot your installer
is modding api checked?
k. well looks like your install path is wrong then
how do a change it

oh okay thanks
Where do I go to open the mod manager again?
wherever you downloaded it to
I downloaded it to hollow knight in OS C: but I don't see it in my downloads or desktop anywhere
Oh
never mind
I thought that was the installer
Hello everyone, I have a big problem with my hollow knight-original, well, when I download Mod Api, it gives an error, the game changes language and the saves disappear, right when I do file integrity, the game goes back to normal, i hope you can help me, i've done everything to try to play mods again.
The language change is because of a mod you installed ||Specifically, it's Arts Mod||
The missing saves is a common bug, listed in the pins 
@south dragon delete all files with globalsettings in the the save files path

I've downloaded randomizer 3 but creating a save with it causes my game to become unresponsive
Update: It hangs when I create a save with only charms randomized but randomizing keys as well works
Thanks man, worked
were you doing a cursed easy randomizer?
With the mod installer I can't seem to get a lot of the mods to actually download, I get an error that the files in the C:/tmp/HKmodinstaller are being used by another program, but there's nothing that could be using it besides the mod installer
move it out of downloads, run as admin
Still happens. Right now I'm trying to download randomizer 3 and it fails because the license is being used by another process, even though the license was created as soon as the error appeared
should I use mod installer 1 or 2 for windows? I wont interrupt, because you're trying to fix something, but if anyone could give a quick answer that would be great.
reset your installer, run as admin
oh, its this whole thing. Mods just dont show up on hollow knight. I had this same problem about a month ago, but I just gave up then.
Are there any ways to edit the sound files of HK without major tedium?
write a mod to do it
I'm not sure how to reset my installer. I've tried downloading new versions and completely unmodding the game but it still happens
you're talking to the wrong person, I don't know the first thing about code
it's also tedious
check the pins
then you gotta help out a bit more
which installer are you using
1?
do you have a button that says enable all installed mods?
do you have a mods option in the in game options menu?
I have done all of that and it's still not working. I've done everything in the pinned messages having to do with it.
I just installed modinstaller2 and it seems to have worked
Sorry, I was doing a thing. If you're still interested it was just a normal one but since randomizing keys as well as charms makes it work I don't need any more help for now. Thanks
pls help
i got skins and stuff but they wont show up it only says default
pls
somone
pls
pls
help
anyone
pls
Cant wait to start making skins
lol
Then I can set it as my pfp
Instead of uh

I’ll stop now

@wheat orchid here
try unzipping / extracting the skins
So looking at something with the mod installer for me, it appears that its going to be a tad unreliable to see if the "Job Change" mod gets updates or not
thx it worked
Also I guess the Job change mod isn't in the google drive collection. Probably is fairly recent
What do I do when it says it can’t find Hollow Knight(the mod installer)
I got it yay
Man it still doesn’t work. :/
Question, what does disabled mean in the hollow Knight data folder?
i tryed to revert back to unmodded on hollow knight modinstaller but it says unable to loacate vanilla hollow knight please verify the integrity of game files and relaunch this installer
well the easy fix would be to just verify game files which resets the game to unmodded.
i am trying to use multi player with my friend and we are having trouble connecting... I intalled mod common, multiplayer client(alfa) client, and multiplayer server(alfa). At first we wanted to use the sever host hamiji but ended up just deciding not to. What ip do i enter and why cant we join echother.
because you're not using hamachi
Oh you have to?
unless you set up port forwarding through your router and want to give out your real IP instead of a fake one
then yes
Hi everyone.. Can i get some help here... I'm trying to run the impossible any% mod. I already download all json files in decorationMasterData's folder.
