sinful lance
#

keen breach
#

Strength doesn't affect nail arts tho right?

wheat orchid
#

Is the problem nail damage randomly changing?

wheat orchid
fair briar
#

Well not randomly

#

Only at death for example

#

And when fury equiped

sinful lance
#

wheat orchid
#

Are you accidentally pressing the binds you set for debug

sinful lance
#

woven epoch

With a gun

#

I’ve downloaded the mods

#

But

fair briar
wheat orchid
#

Are you accidentally pressing the binds you set for debug

woven epoch
#

I have no idea how to shoot the gun

#

And

sinful lance
wheat orchid
#

Read hollow point’s readme

woven epoch
#

Ah

fair briar
wheat orchid
#

I’ll explain it for you though

woven epoch
#

Ok

wheat orchid
#

It breaks when creating a save

sinful lance
#

hmm how i can try it?

#

if i cant see the health

real jacinth
#

I don't understand what issue you're even having

fair briar
#

Ehm

wheat orchid
#

Fix: create save without hollow point, close game, enable hollow point, open game

fair briar
real jacinth
#

your current dmg is displayed

sinful lance
#

yeah

real jacinth
#

it's on screen

#

are you pressing L ever?

sinful lance
#

nop

#

the problem its that fury of fallen its not affecting nail arts

real jacinth
wheat orchid
#

(That’s what I’ve been asking forever now, have they been pressing the binds)

real jacinth
#

fury doesn't

sinful lance
#

fury does, i did it yesterday

fair briar
#

Fury does

real jacinth
#

for cyclone. don't think it does for the rest

woven epoch
#

And my mod loader is broken again

sinful lance
#

wheat orchid
fair briar
real jacinth
#

no I don't care enough

woven epoch
#

Has the error message

#

I know there’s a pin for this but

real jacinth
#

so follow the pin then. lol

woven epoch
#

Can u help me with it since I tried the pin stuff

wheat orchid
#

Can you post the error

woven epoch
#

And I couldn’t find the stuff in the mods folder

wheat orchid
#

“The error” means nothing to me

woven epoch
sinful lance
wheat orchid
#

Then follow the pin

woven epoch
#

K

#

I can’t find the folder to delete tho

wheat orchid
#

Where are you looking

woven epoch
#

In app data

#

I’m trying to reset the mod installer

wheat orchid
#

What specific folder

sinful lance
woven epoch
#

I don’t know

wheat orchid
#

There are 3 sub folders in app data

#

Screenshot file explorer

woven epoch
#

Oh

#

Local

wheat orchid
#

And there’s no ModInstaller folder?

woven epoch
#

Nope

keen breach
#

mine is in Roaming

wheat orchid
#

Then skip that step

woven epoch
#

Ok

wheat orchid
keen breach
#

ah yeah oops that'd affect things zote

wheat orchid
#

Yep

keen breach
#

didn't realize this was MI1 zote

woven epoch
#

Ok

#

I deleted from steam files and it works now

#

But can we get an F for my custom knight skins lol

wheat orchid
#

Didn’t have to delete them

#

Could have just moved

#

Plus if you haven’t empied your recycling bin, they’re fine

woven epoch
#

Yay

sinful lance
#

so i reinstalled the game and it still dont work

wheat orchid
#

Well

#

If it occurs without mods

#

It’s a vanilla bug

#

Or it doesn’t effect nail arts

woven epoch
#

Wait how do u use the gun in hollow point

sinful lance
#

well it only start to happens after using the debug mod to change my nail damage in other save and doing some save edits but again in another save

wheat orchid
woven epoch
#

It’s just the nail when I attack

keen breach
#

iirc there's a button that swaps between nail and gun

wheat orchid
#

Or maybe it’s quick cast

#

Read the readme

woven epoch
#

This is amazing

#

Uh I can’t heal

real jacinth
#

read the readme

#

a lot of things are changed. read it

woven epoch
#

Ok

wheat orchid
#

it’s literally called read me. Why do people not read them?

real jacinth
#

"why would I ever read the mod's manual. I can figure it out on my own by playing!"

#

gets told to read the readme multiple times. Continues to ask more questions that are answered in the readme

wheat orchid
#

Why do we even try to make useful guides anymore

wary hemlock
#

maybe if the readme wasn't hidden on a random gdrive which wasn't pinned until yesterday

#

spent an hour looking through mod files where the freaking readme was

#

turns out it was online

real jacinth
#

it's downloaded to your game files with the mod

#

and installer 1 has a giant button to open them

#

all readme's are packaged with their mods

fair briar
wheat orchid
#

Blame installer 2’s problems on 56

forest hinge
#

read me doesnt work

#

for hollow point

forest hinge
pliant lantern
#

Also, what do you mean it doesn't work?
Like, the button on ModInstaller, or the readme in the big o'l list of ReadMe's in the pins pinknight

real jacinth
#

readme works fine. you have to define in your OS that .md files should be opened with notepad

pliant lantern
#

Y'know, I never realized that HollowPoint had finally moved away from the docx version of its readme

#

Like, I know it changed some time last year, but I never noticed when it did.

woven epoch
#

Ty for sending me the link and

#

When I clicked the thing something opened but

#

Imedeatly closed

bitter sail
#

So I'm not sure what I did, but I decided I'd finally try out a mod in Hollow Knight. I downloaded one mod, simple. But then it kept downloading a few others when i didn't want it to, and I tried stopping it and then it closed. Every time I try and open it I get this. And if I click continue it doesn't show me the list of mods

#

I'm not very good at this

bitter sail
#

Thankyou! It's working fine now

Hey here! I just beat the Soul Tyrant for the first time with the help of some modds (because I'm not good at the game but still like it, and want to play on "easy mode" before going for the hardest boss in the game), but I got a steam achievement for it - wich surprise me since my game is modded! Is this normal? I feel kinda bad, I didn't "earn" it like me previous ones on my normal save, the mods made the game way more easier than normal. Since I plan on doing Nighmare Grimm that way, it will sadden me if I got an achievement for it before beating him in the vanilla game, aka the "legit" way :/

fallow pilot
#

Yes this is normal. If you don't like it then your best bet is not using mods.

gloomy coral
#

if you want you can remove the achivements

fallow pilot
gloomy coral
#

why "I'll eat my words"

vernal rain
#

because he won't read them?

#

so eating is the next best thing

fallow pilot
#

Because I'd be wrong? 😛

novel bronze
wheat orchid
#

Huh

#

Cool

fallow pilot
#

Oh, pff, I was expecting something native to the hk modding ecosystem

frosty bobcat
#

Well, not using mod is not really an option, it's the only way I can bring myself to enjoy this wonderful game. I though Steam didn't give achievement in modded game, because it's no really fair ya know, it's kinda cheating? I wouldn't have been able to beat soul tyrant without them, so why should have the same achievement that all the other that did it in normal difficulty?

novel bronze
#

Oh I was talking about steam achievemts, Ingame def would need something else

frosty bobcat
fallow pilot
#

Steam doesn't know it's modded the modding API doesn't specifically do anything one way or the other with achievements, to my knowledge

gloomy coral
frosty bobcat
frosty bobcat
fallow pilot
#

You could turn off mods and practice. 🙂 Traitor Lord took me about 36 tries my first playthrough.

gloomy coral
#

but there's a way to get achievments back so... idk

vernal rain
gloomy coral
#

isn't it just gamemanager.instance.clearachivement()l

#

or something like that

vernal rain
#

that only clears steam/gog ones, and then all of them

frosty bobcat
# fallow pilot You could turn off mods and practice. 🙂 Traitor Lord took me about 36 tries my ...

Well, I did, but It's becoming quite infuriating : I'm really not good at video games, and I don't really seek challenge in them (I have enough of those in my daily life haha), so dying again and again and having to travel all the way back accross the map, dying again in the process and loosing all of you your geo... Yeah that wasn't fun, and almost make me completly abandon the game for a few month. What's a "normal dfficulty" for an average player is hadmode for me, so mods where the way I found to re-balance my difficulty, and enjoy the game again.

gloomy coral
#

there isn't a problem with playing the game on easy mode

frosty bobcat
fallow pilot
frosty bobcat
#

Hm, after reflexion dear @vernal rain , really don't bother too much, I will probably happen again with the next achievement I get, so don't waste time on me, I will had to live with it I guess. Thank you for the offer tho, it really warm my heart to see such a wonderful community! o/

#

Thank you all, you rocks ! \o/

vernal rain
frosty bobcat
#

Wow you'r amazing

#

Thank you so much o/

vernal rain
#

actually tested myself for the howto

gloomy coral
#

does that clear ingame?

frosty bobcat
#

Ingame doesn't matter anyway, I never look at it, steam is my only concern

vernal rain
#

yes, as in online mode ingame does use your steam thingies for display

#

at least the popup part

novel bronze
#

Yo sfg, do you know what SAM.Game does?

vernal rain
#

i have absolutely no idea

#

i just used SAM for the first time ever

novel bronze
#

I looked at it today( also for the first time) and it has basically the exact same function as the .picker lmao

frosty bobcat
#

Hell yeah I did it dear @vernal rain. You'r the best, thank you so much, I wish you a wonderful day 💙

vernal rain
#

no problem

rough cove
#

hey guys

#

need a little bit of help

#

with the modinstaller

fallow pilot
#

You don't need our acknowledgement, you can just say what the problem is 😉

vernal rain
#

just ask,
don't ask to ask

rough cove
#

so after i downloaded the modinstaller and installed some mods like HPbar.., when i open the game i don't find the tab of MODS in options

#

and also in the modinstaller windows smh i can't enable the mods i installed

fallow pilot
#

Ok, about 70% of that made sense to me. The Mods menu in the options isn't generally used, to my knowledge.

#

I'm going to ahead and ask a stupid question: have you clicked on the "Enabled?" checkbox?

vernal rain
#

maybe (idk if it does that automatically) you need to click the installed thing next to Modding API

fallow pilot
#

I don't know if modinstaller2 does it, which it looks like they're in

rough cove
#

is there like a video or something that shows how's this modinstaller works

#

i haven't played HK in years and i used modinstaller1

fallow pilot
#

So use modinstaller1

novel bronze
#

I downloaded hollow point but it isn't working ingame

rough cove
#

no longer works 😦

fallow pilot
#

It can work, if you were getting an error with it then check the pins. ModInstaller2 does the same stuff, but is just rebuilt and doesn't have all the convenience parts of ModInstaller1

#

You might be able to get away with 1 if the error can be fixed using what is pinned

#

Otherwise, there is no capacity for us to debug your issue without more info. If you see an error message or see any logfiles in the EXE directory please share them

rough cove
#

there is no error messages yet

#

it's probably something i didn't do correctly that made it this way

jovial kite
#

Is it possible to add modinstaller to Hollow Knight if you are using it from someone else's library because you have shared games.

novel bronze
#

Im not 100% sure, if you have the same files that should work tho, so maybe just check that

#

?saves

Saves

jovial kite
#

should I use save or game files

novel bronze
#

Maybe look at game files and check if there's some weird stuff going on there

jovial kite
#

ok

novel bronze
#

If you dont know what you can send a screen shot

#

If everything looks normal, I would just say trying to use modinstaller is your best bet. I dont really see why it shouldn't work

jovial kite
#

The game files just show the game, no other folders. It that normal, I'm on MacOS btw

novel bronze
#

Ah shit, shared game and Mac, now im completely stumbling in the dark

#

No other folders does sound weird tho

jovial kite
#

I know it should work on Mac because there is a zip for it but I'll just try it

lone sorrel
#

I know this is a dumb question but is there a way I can add the mod to my desktop for easy access?

lone sorrel
#

The Mod Manager

gloomy coral
#

Just drag it to the desktop

dusk zephyr
#

Hi I kinda need some help

#

Yesterday I installed the mod and it worked just fine and after I left the game and went to sleep, the next day it showed me this

gloomy coral
#

Check the pins

dusk zephyr
#

Yeah but I can't find the saves location

gloomy coral
#

Save files

Press win + r and then paste this

%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight

dusk zephyr
#

Thank you

lone sorrel
#

Does anyone know how/where I can download/make a custom skin?

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
lone sorrel
#

Thx

dusk zephyr
#

I got a little problem, after I took care of the loading error, when I tried the debug mod again the error came back

real jacinth
#

"the error"

fair briar
#

Can you screenshot the error?

dusk zephyr
fair briar
#

Check pins

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
dusk zephyr
#

And after following the steps in the pinned messages I tried the mod again

#

And it shows the same thing again

real jacinth
#

do this

fair briar
#

Just go to saves and delete all the globalsettings files

dusk zephyr
#

These?

fair briar
#

Yes the baks and the jsons

#

All of them

#

Just to be sure

dusk zephyr
#

And after that I can use the mods?

#

Or it will only solve the problem

fair briar
#

Probably

#

The mods wontnreally be affected

real jacinth
#

it will solve the problem and allow mod usage

#

it's why it's a pinned instruction

dusk zephyr
#

Yeah I was asking since the first time it solved the problem it came back after trying to use the mods again

real jacinth
#

because you didn't do these instructions

#

you probably just went vanilla

dusk zephyr
#

I did-

real jacinth
dusk zephyr
#

Well it's working now so thank you

real jacinth
#

these instructions have worked for many many many others for this exact issue. If you're claiming you are the special swan it doesn't work for, you'd better back that statement up with a lot more than "i followed the instructions and it doesn't work"

fair briar
#

Well its always possible that it doesnt work

real jacinth
#

possible, but unlikely

#

especially since they just said it worked

fair briar
#

Still possible

dusk zephyr
#

I said that the loading problem was solved and I could play without the mods

real jacinth
#

yes, but I will not believe them unless they specify exactly what they did

#

with proof

dusk zephyr
#

Then I tried using the mods and the problem came back since I only deleted the first time 2 of those files

#

I already did that I can't prove it now

real jacinth
#

everything is possible, but when there's hundreds of instances of something working. and 1 person comes in and says "it doesn't work" and gives no backing evidence.... I'm not going to believe them

#

it's far more likely they did something else or something wrong

fair briar
#

I have seen the modinstaller 2 break by only 1 person and by everyone else there was no problem

real jacinth
#

and all other variables were equal? and you checked EVERYTHING else?

#

unlikely

#

computers do this weird thing where they execute things the same every time they run

dusk zephyr
#

Dude I explained it as well as I could

real jacinth
#

i'm not even talking to you

dusk zephyr
#

You're talking about my issue

fair briar
#

Not all computers do the same thing, linux, mac, and windows are completely different and then there are also different updates of those operating systems

real jacinth
#

exactly. and did you check that versions were exactly the same? did they have videos and extensive screenshots proving they followed procedures exactly?

fair briar
#

Yes

real jacinth
fair briar
#

Thanks

real jacinth
#

I will take your anecdotal experience and do nothing with it

fair briar
#

Np

#

Hope you learned

dusk zephyr
#

Thank you ruttie for your help

#

Have a nice day

spark geyser
#

how do I install the hollow knight mod installer on mac

kind urchin
#

Is there a conflict with MoreSaves and Debug?

#

My Debug was working fine until just now when I installed MoreSaves. Now I can't interact with the Debug menu

real jacinth
#

yes

real jacinth
kind urchin
#

Alright. Guess I'm choosing a save to delete lol

real jacinth
#

why

#

they still exist

spark geyser
#

thanks

real jacinth
#

you don't need to delete any saves

#

go to where your saves are and just rename them when you want to use them

#

UserX.dat are the saves. 1-4 for X for the save slots

kind urchin
#

It's alright, I'm not that invested in any of the ones I have, I was just looking to avoid the mental real estate being taken up lol

real jacinth
#

moresaves just loads more of the saves from like user5.dat through user256.dat

#

but they're still in your files

#

if you want to use them, just change the 5 to user3.dat or whatever

#

and it'll be in save slot 3

kind urchin
#

jovial kite
#

Is there an older working version of the mac modinstaller because my mac does not have the version required to use it and my computer won't tell me there is an update.

real jacinth
#

what version do you have

#

and you can tell your computer to search for OS updates

#

you don't have to wait for it to auto check

turbid light

Heyo, when I install CustomKnight it tells me it can't access Baldur.png because it is being used by another process, and if I click continue it doesn't work in-game, anyone have any ideas?

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\tmp\HKmodinstaller\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight\Default/Baldur.png' because it is being used by another process.

move your installer to desktop

#

and run it as admin

#

Whenever I try to use mods, my controls break, particles don't work, room transitions take forever, and I get softlocked when starting a new file. Is there any fix?

real jacinth
#

dunno

wet aurora
#

i'll try reinstalling everything first

real jacinth
#

softlocked when starting a new file
what does this mean?

what mods do you have?

1: The camera is stuck at the entrance to cliffs and I can't move my character
2: I can't open the pause menu or dash

what mods do you have

#

and screenshots help

I found the problem

vasi can't install

real jacinth
#

where is your installer

#

did you move the exe to desktop

wet aurora
#

where is it normally

real jacinth
#

did you put it anywhere

#

if not, it's still in downloads

I put it in desktop and this happened

Guys I have a question

#

Will the modding api prevent steam trade cards drop?

pliant lantern
lapis laurel
#

Hmm strange

#

I just got a Mantis Lords card before even the game load up

#

And I played for 200 hours already

pliant lantern
#

I'm not sure what the Steam Cards look for for drops, but I assume it's similar to the checks for achievements, and those are unaffected

lapis laurel
#

Okay then

#

Thank you

real jacinth
wet aurora
#

lol I fixed it

#

all I had to do was manually extract vasi

pliant lantern
#

But you shouldn't need to do that.. The installer should work fine. The fact that it doesn't for you is weird.

real jacinth
#

probably an artifact of a bunch of weird stuff in combination

#

having to get new installer, downloading things while installer was in downloads

#

moving installer, resetting, etc etc

#

was not a clean process from start to finish

#

aka.... b/c installer was previously in downloads. it downloaded vasi automatically, but didn't unzip b/c it didn't have appropriate permissions b/c downloads is a temp folder

lone sorrel
#

I've downloaded the Enemy Randomiser mod, but the "Load Enemy Randomiser" button won't appear

real jacinth
#

does the enemy rando text show up top left? do you have the required dependencies (like modcommon)? what else do you have?

lone sorrel
#

I have also enabled Modcommon and SereCore

#

And it does say that I have it enabled on both the manager and the game

real jacinth
#

screenshot your title screen

close your game and reload it

If you mean you want to view mods’ code, look around on GitHub. They’re all in desperate repos. If you mean you want to install mods, use one of the mod installers

novel bronze

oh the installer is the mod? i thought it was just a patching tool

It’s not a mod

It’s a patching tool and a file manager

does anyone have an issue with custom knight where the skins dont load? When i click on a skin, the knight doesnt disappear to reload the sprites and just stands there. It looks like the actual click is registering cause the menu disappears, but nothing actually happens. Ive redownloaded the mod multiple times and also checked the actual files

i dont think any of the skins have issues cause they all worked fine until a few weeks ago'

You have mod common?

I've never tested it, but iirc both Redwing and Blackmoth affect the knight, so they could mess with CK it would seem.

ok idk why but it just worked. sorry for wasting your time someone

reinstalling modcommon worked ig

fair briar

Nope

That’s enough discord for today

pliant lantern
#

I'm gonna guess that maybe ModCommon got added after HK was launched already grubthink

#

Or that HK itself needed to restart for some reason.
Or that HollowPoint was disabled in the ModMenu, after being run with it on.

But since the mainmenu / pause menu was never screenshot, we'll never know

carmine helm
#

ive tried everything i can think of and used the pined things i dont know what to do

Just want to make sure, I need to set the Hollow Knight installation folder to Hollow Knight folder, not hollow_knight_Data, right?

carmine helm
#

hollow knight isnt recognizing i have mods installed

nothing appears in the top left hand corner and ive tried deleting and reinstalling modinstaller

That happened to me too but I'm trying the pinned stuff first

novel bronze
#

hello i have downloaded the redwing mod and my nail is super weak is that normal?

carmine helm
#

i couldnt find anything in the pinned stuff but tell me if you do

west bane

additionally make sure it was actually installed, you can reset the installer and try again

#

@west bane There are 4 for me, should I delete them all?

west bane

i don't think that's possible

turbid light
west bane
turbid light
#

Ooh so sorry I misread the first two

west bane
#

and what was your issue, stuff not showing up in top left or?

turbid light
#

Yeah, that and when I try to install CustomKnight it says it can't access the Baldur shell file

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\tmp\HKmodinstaller\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight\Default/Baldur.png' because it is being used by another process.

#

I'm not sure if it affects anything tho

#

Also sry @carmine helm

west bane
#

open up task manager and see if there's any instances of the modinstaller

#

and if there is just kill them all

#

AU.exe as well if that is there, but i doubt

carmine helm
#

for what?

turbid light
#

I keep seeing you typing then I post another msg

carmine helm
#

its fine

west bane
#

after that try running the installer again and try to instlal customknight

carmine helm
#

can you help me with the game not acting like it has mods

#

like i install the mods using a intaller then i launch the game and nothing is different

west bane
carmine helm
#

i tried

west bane
#

and you relaunched and it still was like no mods?

carmine helm
#

yes

west bane
#

are you using modinstaller 1 or 2

carmine helm
#

umm i have the one with zote

#

so i dont know

west bane
#

when'd you get it, roughly

carmine helm
#

ive reinstalled it as recently as yesterday

#

and with it the full reset

west bane
carmine helm
#

yes i did that

#

its number 2

west bane
#

and you ran the installer again and it asked you about install directory

carmine helm
#

yes

#

and i gave it the right one

#

i know because whenever i open the games files the mods are there

west bane
#

have you ever had 2 HK installs, whether being pirated copy in the past or whatever

#

if so just yeet the old one
