[spare locust]

I'm pressing down and cast at the same time, is there something more to it than that? sorry if this is a dumb question

[real jacinth]

cast is not quick cast

[spare locust]

i'm still having issues but i'll keep screwin with keybindings till it works

[real jacinth]

default quick cast button on xbox controller is RB

normal cast is B

[spare locust]

do you need adrenalin?

[real jacinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spare locust]

ip

[real jacinth]

probably, since that gives soul right

[spare locust]

rip*

well ur soul fills automatically

with this mod

[real jacinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

did you read the readme

everything should be described in there

[spare locust]

i skimmed it, I guess i'm a fool

ok that reread doesnt help, I have confirmed that the mod is the issue, I just don't know how to fix it

If this gives anyone ideas about what the problem could be, the first time I try to dive, the knight just floats in the air and cant fall

[thorn merlin]

What's the name of the mod that allows you to place benches ?

[spare locust]

benchwarp

[thorn merlin]

[spare locust]

I was running it with benchwarp, but I turned that off and it didnt help

[real jacinth]

and nothing else?

[spare locust]

I uninstalled the grimchild mod thing cuz I had just been screwing around with mods like a year ago, but thats it

[real jacinth]

what dependency mods do you have on

and no debug either?

[leaden plume]

[spare locust]

I assume you mean modding api and modcommon

[real jacinth]

and serecore

[spare locust]

is that for me?

[real jacinth]

yes

[spare locust]

i do not have that

[real jacinth]

you might want it

[grizzled saddle]

Wait... So all we have to do is install the Modinstaller, run it, then launch the game?

Hello btw 😄

[gloomy coral]

Run it, click on mod you want, launch hk

[grizzled saddle]

Wow that's insanely easy

Y'all fkin legends

[magic dagger]

Hi, Im having a few issues with Discord varient of hollow knight, What file counts as the main file?

[fickle parrot]

im pretty sure mods only work on steam and GOG but i might be wrong

[fair briar]

What is discord varient

[magic dagger]

When the store on discord existed i bought hollow knight there.

[fair briar]

Sadly modding will only work on the steam and GOG versions of the game

[magic dagger]

I got it to work once. But i cant get it to work again,

[fickle parrot]

yeah it only works on steam on and GOG

[magic dagger]

Whys that though?

[fickle parrot]

how am i supposed to know i just play the game ._.

im guessing its something with the code tho

probably diffrent code in the discord version

[fair briar]

Cus 1. The paths are completely different and
2. The files may have restictions

[magic dagger]

Idea.

The hollow night executable is in the content file, So what if i select hollow_knight_Data for the installation? That should work.

Nevermind then.

[fair briar]

I have no idea about file paths for discord version so i cant help you

[magic dagger]

This is the Main file opened.

And this is the content file.

[fair briar]

Yeah thats completely different

You can search for a assembly.Csharp.dll

[magic dagger]

Its located in Managed within hollow_knight_Data

[fair briar]

Ok so you have the modinstaller?

[magic dagger]

Yes,

[fair briar]

Does it say you need to point it to a path?

[magic dagger]

Yes,

[fair briar]

Select the folder the .exe is located in and hope for the best

[magic dagger]

Already tried

[fair briar]

What does it say

[magic dagger]

Ah, Now it works, Thanks. I thought i tried it.

[twin vale]

Is there anything I need to configure before running the application? I can't get it to work...

[azure marsh]

YO MICKELY thank you so much for the instructions on how to reset the modinstaller.

[errant owl]

debug mod stopped working (kinda)

i can give myself items and stuff, but once i try to kill self, give noclip, invincibility etc, it wont work. LAAAAATER (like, alot later) it will randomly activate. (This made me lose all my geo and the game just kinda died for a bit since it tried to kill me like 10 times and give me invincibility, noclip, inf hp etc all at the same time)

this is REEEEAAAAALLY irritating since im trying to figure out where i can get to without the required items

[wheat orchid]

Are you using moresaves

[errant owl]

yes

[wheat orchid]

Delete

[fair briar]

problem

[wheat orchid]

Bugs debug

[errant owl]

ah, ok

[wheat orchid]

And other mods with ui tmk

[errant owl]

[azure marsh]

danke schon

[real jacinth]

nothing official is put on any other site. everything is sourced from this discord only

anything else you find is just posted by random people

so it may be malicious, or wildly out of date

[vagrant yoke]

oh, so modinstaller2 is for mac only?

asdh why do i keep saying loader

[fair briar]

no

there are different versions

[runic oriole]

I'm the dev for installer1 and I can say that I didn't put it on nexus, banana or anywhere else

[regal quartz]

hi i downloaded the modinstaller2 but my windows security didnt let me open it which one should i disable?

[tired crystal]

Same problem as this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/kxeynv/debug_mod_help/ Help would be appreciated.

[tired crystal]

Click more info and run the application.

[regal quartz]

wdym

[regal quartz]

this is my first time modding so i dont know that much sorry

[real jacinth]

it's in the windows security pop up

you can click "more info"

and there will be a button to "run anyway"

unless you don't have admin privileges

[regal quartz]

i went to downloads and clicked the file then it said smart screen and i clicked run then it just opend and i confirmed the location of HK

[real jacinth]

So what's your question

Or is it working now

[tired crystal]

Then click on the Installed? box to install mods

[tired crystal]

Also please help with this if you have a solution

[regal quartz]

is there a geo mod for more geo?

sorry to bother

[fair briar]

Wdym

[regal quartz]

like a way to make more geo upon killing or gathering?

[fair briar]

Greed

Its a charm

[regal quartz]

ya ik

thought there would be mod for more

[fair briar]

You could make one

[fair briar]

Are you using MoreSaves?

[tired crystal]

No.

Do you want a list of all enabled mods?

[fair briar]

No...

[regal quartz]

oh btw last question i saw a yt vid of a guy called Relyea i was wondering what mod is that

[gloomy coral]

What's the problem?

[wheat orchid]

Could you send a list of them?

[tired crystal]

What mod is what?

[wheat orchid]

There are so many mods people use, we can’t tell just by this

[fair briar]

Check the dc of his stream from 8 months ago

[regal quartz]

like he was able to move himself through walls

[wheat orchid]

Most likely debug mod

[fair briar]

Most likely

[novel bronze]

how do i install them

[wheat orchid]

Where did you purchase hk

[novel bronze]

steam

[wheat orchid]

Ok

[tired crystal]

Benchwarp, Debug Mod, EnemyHPBar, Grassyknight, Infinite Notches, Mod Common, Modding API, SFCore

That's the list

[wheat orchid]

Use the mod installer in the description of this channel

[tired crystal]

Debug Mod pretty sure

[novel bronze]

ok

[wheat orchid]

Can you explain the problem

[novel bronze]

i install the file

[tired crystal]

So I clicked on Collision in the Debug Menu, and it said closing pause menu and respawning in the little feedback box, then whenever I try to do something else, it sends the message and I can't close the pause menu either. Restarting the game does not help, it still sends the message whenever I try to do something.

[fair briar]

Just see the reddit post

[fair briar]

And you double click on it after moving it to the desktop

[novel bronze]

ok

[fair briar]

Try going to saves and deleting the file(s) with debug.globalsettings in their name

[fair briar]

Did you use

[tired crystal]

No, I used the one in the pinned message.

[tired crystal]

I'll look into that

[fair briar]

Not you

[fair briar]

Use my fix

[real jacinth]

^

[fair briar]

It was for the problem

[real jacinth]

that will reset keybinds

[novel bronze]

i installed linux and i on windos

[fair briar]

Just delete it

And download the one i linked

[novel bronze]

ok

windows is saying that it dangerous

[real jacinth]

so tell it it's not

[novel bronze]

opk

it insaled

[fair briar]

Ok

Then click install on the mods you want

[regal quartz]

this is the mod i was wondering about

[fair briar]

Debug mod

[real jacinth]

it says it top left

[regal quartz]

oh cool

ty

[tired crystal]

It worked, greatly appreciated, just won't click on collision ever again I guess.

[fair briar]

You can click it

[regal quartz]

what does it do

[real jacinth]

collision works fine

just don't set respawn or other things to mouse buttons

[wheat orchid]

What does collision do? It didn’t do anything when I clicked it

[real jacinth]

shows enemy hitboxes

[wheat orchid]

Cool

I’ll try that again, last time it didn’t do anything for me

[fair briar]

Only when the enemy tab is open

[wheat orchid]

Also it would bug out the enemy tab sometimes

[real jacinth]

the show hitboxes mod is more useful

so w/e

[wheat orchid]

Ok

[fair briar]

Is that toggleble?

[tepid plover]

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

can somone help

[real jacinth]

so do that

[tepid plover]

how

[fair briar]

Steam

Right click hollow knight

Properties

Local files

[tepid plover]

im browing local files

[fair briar]

Verify integrity

[tepid plover]

how

[fair briar]

Not browse

Under browse

[wheat orchid]

You click the button

[tepid plover]

oh i see

[wheat orchid]

And wait for files not to verify

[wheat orchid]

Then the game will be returned to normal

[gloomy coral]

can't believe you forgot the arrows smh

[real jacinth]

lol

[fair briar]

And the saturation

[wheat orchid]

Yeah

No one knows what you want them to do

[fair briar]

Me?

[wheat orchid]

I was talking to mickely

Agreeing with you

[fair briar]

Oh ok

[regal quartz]

i think ill install g to dab lol

[gloomy coral]

nice

[regal quartz]

should i download infnite notches im worried cause it says it messes with save files

[gloomy coral]

it won't mess up save files

[wheat orchid]

It will

[gloomy coral]

readme says no

[fair briar]

If you use it on a save the save will always have inf notches

To prevent saves from breaking

But i believe you can save-edit it back to normal

[regal quartz]

oh so like if i sat on a bench and then turn off the mod the save will always have inf nothces

[wheat orchid]

If the game saves at all

[fair briar]

Even if you dont sit on aan bench

[regal quartz]

oh ok

btw do i have to have the mod window open as i paly?

play*

[wheat orchid]

No

Make sure you aren’t messing with what mods are on when the game is open btw

[fair briar]

It wont work

[regal quartz]

cool so turn on mods before i open and close game before i change the mods right?

[fair briar]

It changes immediately

Without having to open the game

[wheat orchid]

Yes

[regal quartz]

btw i say a geo engine hack does it work?

im curious

[fair briar]

Wdym

Cheat engine?

[regal quartz]

yup

saw*

[fair briar]

I have used cheat engine to give myself 999999 geo

But you'll need to change 2 values

For some reason

[regal quartz]

wdym

[real jacinth]

just use debug

click the geo picture

[fair briar]

Or save edit

[real jacinth]

1k geo every click

[regal quartz]

oh cool

perfect thanks

❤️

now im happy

[fair briar]

I just used cheat engine bc i didn't want to click the geo picture 1000 times

[wheat orchid]

Smh save edit

[regal quartz]

can i close the window before i start the game?

[wheat orchid]

Yes

[regal quartz]

whats save edit

[real jacinth]

editing a save

[wheat orchid]

Either 1. Editing a save with a online save editor or with the qol mod’s json files

[regal quartz]

so what does it do exactly

[fair briar]

It was to learn how to use cheat engine and i thought that was fun

[fair briar]

It edits your save

[regal quartz]

but like editing the save how? what does it change

[fair briar]

Everything

[wheat orchid]

You change different values in your save

[real jacinth]

changes whatever you want

[wheat orchid]

Anything stored in a save file can be changed by editing it

[real jacinth]

anything that's stored in save data

like events, items, enemy flags, etc

[wheat orchid]

That’s why it’s called save editing

[gloomy coral]

enemy flags?

[real jacinth]

yes. like bosses

[wheat orchid]

Journal entry stuff, boss defeated stuff

[real jacinth]

change boss defeated from true to false

boom, boss back

[fair briar]

This has an example

[regal quartz]

is this mod available on this mod

[real jacinth]

it's not a mod

[wheat orchid]

But why, we have godhome

[real jacinth]

you are editing your saves

[wheat orchid]

Qol mod allows you to easily edit saves

[real jacinth]

^qol decrypts them, yeah

but you still have to go in and edit them yourself

[regal quartz]

i can change stuff now?

[wheat orchid]

Idk

What changed in the last 2 mins

[real jacinth]

i got older

[wheat orchid]

Same

[real jacinth]

a few more grey hairs

[wheat orchid]

Not same

[fair briar]

My cat meowed one more time

[wheat orchid]

My sister started talking to me and still is

[real jacinth]

i listened to Daft Punk-One more time

[regal quartz]

do i have to install something to edit my save to do stuff like the boss thing u mentioned?

[fair briar]

.

[wheat orchid]

Either 1. The qol mod or 2. Use a online save editor

[regal quartz]

which one is better

[gloomy coral]

or 3. ask another person to do it

[fair briar]

Qol

[wheat orchid]

I prefer qol

[real jacinth]

neither is better. they both do the same thing

[regal quartz]

where can i get it from

is it pinned?

[real jacinth]

installer

[fair briar]

Modinstaller

[regal quartz]

oh

[wheat orchid]

Try looking there before anything else

[regal quartz]

i did and i only liked 3 of the mods

which is cool

[wheat orchid]

Well you should keep the installer because it’s the one source of mods that are kept up to date

[dawn adder]

i'm having trouble reopening the mod installer

[regal quartz]

no i will

[real jacinth]

double click it

[dawn adder]

i opened it once when i got it

[gloomy coral]

what error are you getting?

[fair briar]

6th pin

[regal quartz]

or pin it to task bar

[wheat orchid]

You done even know the problem they’re having

[fair briar]

No

[real jacinth]

[dawn adder]

it makes a file named AU

and i wanna add mods to hollow knight

can anyone help me?

[analog glen]

[karmic lake]

im like, rly clueless when it comes to this stuff, so like, i cant even extract xd

[analog glen]

look in the pinhs

pins

[gloomy coral]

Did you open the same save?

[analog glen]

wdym?

[gloomy coral]

?I would start by downloading the installer from the link below

[dense shuttle]

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

[karmic lake]

i downloaded the 2 pinned links

[fair briar]

Nice

[gloomy coral]

Eg, if you opened hollow point on the 3rd save, did you edit user3.dat?

[analog glen]

o i didnt realise that it works like that lol

that must be the mistake

ty for the help

[karmic lake]

also im using a laptp not a pc

[analog glen]

and also which folder are the mods supposed to be in?

[karmic lake]

will it work?

[analog glen]

that doesnt make a difference

im using a laptop

[fair briar]

Its about operating system

Not device

[karmic lake]

ok so i downloaded the mod in staller

and the mod manager

[fair briar]

If you mean a macbook then its smtg else

[karmic lake]

no its a gaming laptop

[analog glen]

does anyone know which folder the mods are supposed to be in?

i have them in common->hollow knight

[fair briar]

Data > managed > mods

[analog glen]

o crap lol

i better fix that

[karmic lake]

i dont have the mods file

[gloomy coral]

You have 2 of them?

[karmic lake]

2 wont locate the game

[gloomy coral]

It generates after you use the installer

[karmic lake]

oh ok

[fair briar]

If you run the game once after installing the api it will create a mod folder for you

Im slow

[gloomy coral]

Go to steam right click hk, properties-> local files and click browse. Then point the installer to that path

[karmic lake]

ok lets see

oh and forgot to mention something else

i dont own the game

will it still work?

or do i need to have owning rights to it?

[real jacinth]

buy the game

[karmic lake]

no its not pirated

licrary share

from steam

library*

ok so rn i have benchwarp mod in a mod file

am i doing this right?

[real jacinth]

In the steam app

[karmic lake]

oh

oh wow

ok done

wait is this it? Do i just select the mods that i want now?

[gloomy coral]

Yes

[honest flax]

is there a way to toggle on debug logs

[gloomy coral]

Unless your hoping the modinstaller will magically get to know which mods you want and download them for you

#archived-modding-development ?

[honest flax]

oh

[gloomy coral]

Wdym debug logs

[honest flax]

well uh

[gloomy coral]

Can't you just use modding.logger.log

[honest flax]

i asked the question there, sorry for interrupting

thought i asked the question in the wrong channel

[shy cave]

[real jacinth]

what was the error

[gloomy coral]

What error did you get?

[shy cave]

[real jacinth]

first pin

[velvet thunder]

is it possible to change game sprites other than the knight's?

[wheat orchid]

Yes

By coding your own mod

[velvet thunder]

and how do you do that?

[vernal rain]

https://radiance.host/apidocs/Getting-Started.html

[faint cave]

So Im trying to get this like killer whale skin working on custom knight, and I think did everything right but its not popping up

could it may be because it is compressed? if so how do i uncompress it

[white cloud]

Okay so

[mental kestrel]

I think you need to Unzip the file

With Winrar or 7zip

[white cloud]

What I do is make a new folder and name it blue whale

And then place all the files in that

[faint cave]

Alright ty guys i will try both strats

uhh how do i make a new folder

[white cloud]

Because the download has a folder inside a folder which doesn’t work for the mod

You should be able to right click

From there you can create a folder

[faint cave]

thank u

[novel bronze]

uhhh i'm on a m1 mac and modinstaller is not opening itself

this always shows up when i click on it

[regal quartz]

hi

where can i download modinstaller1

[gloomy coral]

?i would download it from the link below

[dense shuttle]

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

[gloomy coral]

which link did you download the modinstaller from?

[regal quartz]

i just used the one in the pin but chat told me yesterday that modinstaller 1 was more up to date

[gloomy coral]

both are the same

it doesnt really matter

[regal quartz]

so it doesnt matter?

oh ok

ty

btw is there a mod on there that allows me to increase geo?

[gloomy coral]

you can use debug mod to get 1000 geo everytime you click a button

[regal quartz]

which button is it i couldnt find it

[gloomy coral]

on the top right there are cheats. in one of the tabs there's a geo icon

[regal quartz]

cool ty

im gonna try it

[fast kayak]

whenever i try using a simple key in randomizer, it just says "elderbugs words echoed... theres a time and place for everything, but not now"

[gloomy coral]

randomizer doesnt allow you to use the only key you have until you unlock royal waterways

[novel bronze]

the mac one

[gloomy coral]

this one?

#archived-modding-help message

if not then delete the current one you have and redownload this one

also make sure to place it on the desktop

[real thorn]

The debug mod is confusing me so much rn, I somehow only deal one damage regardless of what it say on the debug screen

[gloomy coral]

screenshot the pause menu with debug menu open

[real thorn]

Okay wait a sec

sorry i was having some trouble with print screen

[gloomy coral]

screenshot the main menu

[gloomy coral]

you have blackmoth mod. it makes your dash do the same damage as your nail and makes your nail damage 1 because its not meant to be used as a form of doing damage, its only there to interact with objects

[real thorn]

ohhh

thanks

i completely forgot I had that installed lmao

[tepid prawn]

hkmodinstaller wont open

Can I use Vanilla save files after I download modding API

[fair briar]

yes

[trim barn]

How do I host server? I have hamachi server running

[gloomy coral]

Click on create new connection or something like that

[trim barn]

I have the client in my servr already

[sleek breach]

Is hamatchi is the only way for the multiplayer?

[trim barn]

They can't see me in game

[fair briar]

no

[gloomy coral]

Technically no but it's recommended and easier

[gloomy coral]

Check the pins

[fair briar]

other things that do the same or port forwarding is also possible

zerotier for example

[tepid prawn]

3) Clear your browser file cache what does this mean?

[fair briar]

search

[gloomy coral]

Ask google

[trim barn]

[sleek breach]

Thanx .one mor thing how can I disable sepesific mods that I no longer want.

[fair briar]

click disbled

[novel bronze]

oh yeah actually are you able to use api if you don't have steam

[fickle parrot]

It works only on steam and GOG

[novel bronze]

what's gog

[fickle parrot]

GOG galaxy

Another game louncher

[novel bronze]

dammit

[fickle parrot]

It can also work on discord

But it’s a bit Janky

[novel bronze]

wait how

[fickle parrot]

Won’t work half the time

[novel bronze]

i want to have pure vessel customknight 😭

[fickle parrot]

Welp

Theres probably some thing that lets you use it on other things

Idk what tho

[novel bronze]

||aH what if your hollow knight was 100% pirated||

will you still be able to connect it to steam or something

by any means

[stoic hollow]

you can put it in steam

but that just opens the file

[gloomy coral]

If you pirated it the installer won't work

[upbeat comet]

help i have installed mods and they are not working- if i go to the mod section in settings this is all that displays, and none of the mods appear to be functional

[fickle parrot]

Not every mod shows here

[gloomy coral]

Not all mods have that functionality

Screenshot main menu

[upbeat comet]

oh ok

main menu is just vanilla main menu

[gloomy coral]

Do this

#archived-modding-help message

It will fix the problem

[novel bronze]

dammit
can add to steam but i don't think it recognises anything

[fickle parrot]

It won’t

It has to be a steam game

Well

Downloaded on steam

[upbeat comet]

ok done

[gloomy coral]

Does it work now?

[upbeat comet]

nope :/

main menu is exactly the same as it was

[gloomy coral]

Which mods did you download

Which files did you delete?

Was the game closed when you deleted files

[upbeat comet]

the two it said to delete

yup

[gloomy coral]

Which mods did you download?

[upbeat comet]

a lot, im going to try it with just customknight and see if its a problem with any of the mods themselves

[gloomy coral]

The api isn't showing on top left so it won't work

Try reseting again

[upbeat comet]

ah

[gloomy coral]

Deleting*

[upbeat comet]

ok so just putting customknight on worked, and i didnt delete anything- i think one of the mods is fucking with it :/ its probably the room randomiser one as i think i installed it wrong

[gloomy coral]

Nice

[gloomy coral]

Download mod common

[fickle parrot]

Yeah mod common is needed on custom knight

[upbeat comet]

oh oki

ok custom knight is showing up in the mods menu and its working perfectly :)

[novel bronze]

nice

dammit this is tempting me to buy from steam but that'll be very sad

[fickle parrot]

Why would it be sad

[novel bronze]

because i'm perfectly fine with this version and it's fully functional

except not being able to mod and use pure vessel customknight 😔

[upbeat comet]

yay got room randomiser working too :) tysm for your help y'all

[fickle parrot]

Well you will be spending money on a game you already have but you would also be supporting the people who worked on it

[novel bronze]

also what exactly does "in-game overlay" mean

[novel bronze]

well the main thing is i'm not financially independent yet

[fickle parrot]

It means when you press shift + smthn you can see your friends

[novel bronze]

ah i see

[fickle parrot]

Thats a fair point

And it’s also my opinion you have your life

You do what you want

[novel bronze]

i'd like to
the money is not an issue but the payment is

maybe i'll just go buy a physical steam gift card

[fickle parrot]

Probably the best idea

I have the same problem so i get it

[novel bronze]

ay nice

but i won't get much of a chance to run around in the neighbourhood in at least the next 2 weeks so anyone knows how to run via discord

[fair briar]

Financial talk in modding-help

Something new every day

[novel bronze]

it's mainly about not being able to get the game on steam lmao

apparently you need steam or gog to run mods smoothly

[fair briar]

Not smoothly

Just at all

[novel bronze]

bruh someone mentioned discord iirc

[fickle parrot]

Well

Discord can work

[novel bronze]

but said it doesn't work half the time

[fickle parrot]

Just barley

Some guy used it on discord yesterday

[novel bronze]

but that's already something

[fair briar]

Does that even excist anymore

[novel bronze]

how to though

[fickle parrot]

It actually does

[fair briar]

I know i was the one who helped him

[fickle parrot]

I don’t know

Yeah

I saw that was reading

And remembered it

[novel bronze]

especially with an m1 mac which is problematic to run games on in general 🤡

is it possible to learn this power

[fair briar]

Anything is possible

What power? xD

[novel bronze]

running it via discord even barely

[gloomy coral]

Running mods via discord?

[novel bronze]

yes

[gloomy coral]

What

[novel bronze]

apparently someone did it lmao

[fickle parrot]

Yeah someone did it

[fair briar]

Idk what that guy had but he just had the default layout of hk

With managed and shit

So it was easy

[novel bronze]

wait what do you mean

[fair briar]

Nothing

[novel bronze]

what is managed

[fair briar]

Im not helping you unless you paid

[novel bronze]

bruh i'm going to pay but i can't do it as of now

[fair briar]

Then ask about it when you,have the game legit

[novel bronze]

well sure then since it's near impossible to run it like this anyway

i guess i'll just have to put up with using the default knight for the next 2+ weeks

[spice hull]

Does anyone know how to change the default file path for modinstaller2? I set it to the wrong path and now it keeps recreating that same wrong filepath whenever i want to install and run mods. Any help would be appreciated!! (If someone can tell me where the .exe stores the file path information, I can play around with that too!)

[nocturne edge]

Is there a way to fix the invisible hollow knight bug?

I get it occasionally on normal runs, so I reboot my game and it's fixed but never this consistently

[fair briar]

no

[nocturne edge]

so I gotta kill invisible hollow knight every time I wanna do radiance

[spice hull]

Answered my own question - mod installer saves the default file path in - C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\HKModInstaller\HKInstallerSettings.json

[fair briar]

It us litteralky in pins

[naive moss]

Hi, it is normal that with the QOL mod installed my controller get's paralazied and keep pressing the buttons i have been pressing for a second or so every few minutes?

[fair briar]

try native controller setting

[velvet thunder]

ok a have a problem
i have hollow knight on pc, but when i open the game and go to the main menu, and click on anything, it treats it like the "quit game" option and opens that menu
no matter what i click, it doesn't even quite the game, it just brings me back to the menu(edited)
ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and it didn't work
the i tried it again after manually deleting the game files
ive modded it before and wouldnt be too suprised if that messed with it or something but im kind of at a loss as to else to do

[fair briar]

what mods

do you have

[velvet thunder]

well, none now

im prob forgetting some, but in the past ive had a alot, debug, hollow point, notches qol etc.

[fair briar]

go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity

[velvet thunder]

ok

[fair briar]

see if it hapens again

[velvet thunder]

kk, its working on it rn

no, it didnt work

[fair briar]

wdym

does it still behave the same?

[velvet thunder]

i opened the game and the issue persisted

[fair briar]

browse local files and delete the hollow knight file, then reinstall

[velvet thunder]

i do own a legit copy of the game, but its almost like its some sorta of anti piracy thing

[velvet thunder]

i already tired that

[fair briar]

delete the game?

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot what happens

[velvet thunder]

kk

1 sec

[gloomy coral]

Does it only happen when you use the keyboard or does it happen when you use the mouse also?

[velvet thunder]

...

i was only using my mouse....

[gloomy coral]

Try using the movement keys and enter key

[fair briar]

or space

[velvet thunder]

it works if i use space!

[fair briar]

nice

[velvet thunder]

my left click button was assigned to cast...

which is what it was using

omg im an idiot

thanks guys

[fair briar]

?

assigning your left mouse to cast doesn't break stuff afaik

[velvet thunder]

idk

maybe the game treats it like "b"

meh, wtvr, it works now, thx

[hybrid summit]

thanks bro

[limpid belfry]

can anyone help with this? i wanna install enemy rando/hollow point but the shortcut i made has 'moved' and the download isnt working due to lack of permission

[gloomy coral]

Shortcut I made has moved?

[gloomy coral]

What lack of permission

[limpid belfry]

no clue

thats all i know

[fair briar]

run as admin

[limpid belfry]

how can i do that

[fair briar]

right click the .exe

[fair briar]

full error pls

[limpid belfry]

thats all i can find

maybe it just cant connect to my computer/wifi

[fair briar]

redownload the modinstaller.exe

place it at desktop

right click it, properties, compatability and run as admin

[limpid belfry]

im not sure how to redownload it if it cant be downloaded in the first place

[fair briar]

ohhh

[limpid belfry]

i have no shortcut, and when i do try to download it wont let me for the reasons i already stated

[fair briar]

im stupid

i thought you got that when opening

but downloading...

[limpid belfry]

no worries, ill just try again tommorow

[fair briar]

go to your browser settings and set the install path to desktop

and run your browser as admin

[limpid belfry]

better hope the file isnt deleted or theres a good chance my hollow knight save files just died

[gloomy coral]

Nah

[fair briar]

?

why lol

[gloomy coral]

That's probs not gonna happen

[pliant lantern]

Mod Installer isn't related to your saves

[pliant lantern]

• What OS are you on?
• Where did you originally put ModInstaller when it was working? Is it not still there?
• Did you change anything about your web browser recently?
• Have you tried restarting your computer?

[limpid belfry]

1. Whats OS
2. I saved it to my taskbar, when i tried today it said that it had moved and i couldnt use it from there
3. No, i havent
4. Again, no, but im not sure thats the issue

[fair briar]

windows, mac, linux

[novel bronze]

OS is operating system. So windows, mac etc

[limpid belfry]

windows

[pliant lantern]

You can't "save" a full program to task bar

If you never took it out of your downloads, your anti-virus might have quarantined it

And I'm asking about your browser because it kinda looks like the browser itself didn't have permission to write the file

As far as restarting: windows is.. weird.
Sometimes it acts up a lot if it has a scheduled restart. Restarting it may fix random hiccups.

• What web browser are you using?

[pliant lantern]

I'm assuming Chrome.
If so, then something has changed recently on your end, if you never previously had issues downloading stuff.

That error comes from either the folder you told it to download to not having write-permissions, or from chrome itself not having them.

@limpid belfry

[limpid belfry]

thanks

[pliant lantern]

If you didn't (to your knowledge) make a change related to that recently, then definitely reboot the system first.
If that doesn't fix it, then there's a number of possible solutions to fix it. You'll wanna just Google search "chrome insufficient permissions" to find various resources on ways to fix it.

[rugged cairn]

Does have any idea why test of teamwork isn't working, I got into the room with the weaver necklace, but it either softlocks me, or doesn't work.

You have SFCore?

[nimble sky]

Wait, FrogCore

[rugged cairn]

oh

I read the readme

[spice hull]

didnt see it

[tidal grove]

So, question. QoL is failing to load, does anyone know how to fix it? I have the modlog.txt up and all i see is an error with the initialization.

and a screenshot of the title screen

[iron laurel]

A.) Why do you have 2 QoL's?
B.) Install Vasi

[tidal grove]

I don't know why i have 2 QoLs, it isn't working
and- i didn't realise I didn't have Vasi installed one moment

apparently I do have vasi installed

[iron laurel]

uh... idk then. uninstall and reinstall both vasi and QoL

[tidal grove]

see?

it's confusing to me, and i'll try that

[tidal grove]

I've done that once before, but QoL broke after doing that

My installer was broken, so I had to delete all of them before

[fair briar]

do it again

[tidal grove]

it was only after doing that that QoL failed

i'll try it anyways since im at a loss though

I never deleted QoL.globalsettings

ignore me i'm a fool

[gloomy coral]

A is normal when the mods failed to load

[tidal grove]

oh, thank you that confused me too
and thank you ruttie i figured it out

things are working now

[fair briar]

ok

[tidal grove]

I didn't realise there was a QoL global settings but it's fixed now so thanks

[ruby grove]

how does test of teamwork work?

i have it installed as well as SFCore, talking to hornet does nothing and PoP is normal

[vernal rain]

should give you an item when talking to hornet in front of the black egg, then to the opposite of path of pain should be traversible

[ruby grove]

i get her normal dialogue tho

also do i need to start on like a 112 file or smth like that? i made a new file and gave myself everything with debug mod and all that, idk if that would mess anything up

[vernal rain]

only voidheart is needed

[ripe ember]

currently trying to get debug mod to work in 1221 but when I launch the game the API says the debug mod failed to load

[gloomy coral]

Which debug mod did you download

[ripe ember]

i used both the mod installer and a direct download of the 1221 modding api

neither worked

[fair briar]

multiple people are typing

[ruby grove]

if i made a new file, gave myself voidheart and all skills, then went to black egg, would that work?

[vernal rain]

in theory yes, i just haven't tested such a setup

[coral anvil]

my benchwarp mod is not detected by the game for no apparent reason, other mod like rando or custom knight are working fine: i've tried to uninstall all my mods and download them and stuff like that but to no effect

[vernal rain]

if it doesn't, just save & exit and load the save again

[ruby grove]

alright trying that now, thx

[gloomy coral]

Debug mod from 1432 (aka from modinstaller) can't be used for 1221

[ripe ember]

sadge

[gloomy coral]

Get the latest version from #resources

For 1221

[ripe ember]

❤️

appreciate you

[gloomy coral]

Go to saves file location and delete benchwarp.globak settings. Json and .bak

[fair briar]

globak setting.

amazing

[gloomy coral]

Yes my typing is 💯

[ripe ember]

you can be fast or accurate, rarely both

debug mod now working, thank you for your help mul

[coral anvil]

still doesn't detect it

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot your mods folder
