do i just do the instructions in the picture above and reinstall it and relaunch
steam
i have steam i mean
west bane
yeah, so your install directory will be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight
carmine helm
turns out i have number 1
west bane
so youll wanna delete the entire modinstaller folder

Does this directory looked messed up or is this right?
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\Custom Knight.zip\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight
west bane
yes, messed up

I thought so, I'm not sure why it installs like this

Question... Using custom knight and geo is invisible for some reason, even using...
restart game
still glen
Just restart it?
west bane
yes
still glen
Alright I'll give that a try
turbid light
Aaah got it, thx a lot
carmine helm
I GOT IT TO WORK YAS
turbid light
Last thing, this might sound dumb but do you still earn achievements while using mods?
west bane
steam yeah
still glen
Okay so it works... But as soon as I switch skins geo goes invisible again
What do I do
carmine helm
@west bane Thank you so much thanks to you im finally able to use mods words cant convey how happy i am
turbid light
Same here lol
west bane
Okay so it works... But as soon as I switch skins geo goes invisible again
buy more ram 
or maybe you have too many skins, i'm not sure
still glen
Too many skins will do it?
Would only having 1 skin option help?
Or 2 including default
Having less available didn't work..
Is it really the ram? I'm on a laptop so.. Can't do much as far as I know. Not super tech savvy
Don't understand why this is happening
west bane
Is it really the ram?
yes
still glen
What can I do?
west bane
buy more ram
still glen
I thought that was something computers came with a set amount of
I can get more for my laptop?
brazen pasture
you could try removing some of the skin's files that pertain to cutscenes
that might just get you under the limit where geo is visible
still glen
I'll try that
I got rid of Unn and the babies one, gonna try that
Cuz I don't use those charms anyway
Still didn't work
Gosh it isn't even that many files now, I'm so confused
Maybe I should replace the default styles with the ones I want to use, so I don't have to change?
Would that work?
Changing kills it
west bane
does the skin youre using have a geo.png
still glen
No
west bane
it needs one
still glen
I could add one from the default? I'll try that then
still glen
Alright gonna try that real quick

why do the hollow point ui symbols overlap eachother???

so it's there

alright
real jacinth
it's located next to your exe

ok, I know Im an idiot, but where is that? I dont really know what you mean by up a few levels
real jacinth
mods -> managed -> hollow knight data -> hollow knight
or click this button
to go up 1 folder level from where you currently are
novel bronze
ok
still glen
@west bane having geo.png worked
west bane
you can probably start adding the other skins back as well
still glen
For the future... Should I use the entire default set of files and just replace parts with skin stuff? Or just add geo into all my skins?
west bane
if they dont have a geo yeah
still glen
Some don't have wing stuff for example,, what would happen once I got wings?
west bane
it just does the default animation i'm p sure
but you can just test it and see if it does/doesn't if it's just invisible drag the default one in
still glen
I'll have to get wings first
I just bought the game on my steam
My good file is on my switch 
Well, if it breaks something later, at least now I know how to fix it. Thanks so much!

ok, I got to the readme, but how do I make it set a firing direction?

i'm trying to do the uuwuu mod fight in godhome but i don't see the switch to activate it, does anyone know how to get it to work?

apologies if this is a dumb question, but are controllers not supported with the modding api on linux? used the pinned installer, and my controller stopped working with the game

happens on other OS's too, best thing i've heard around is just to use like joytokey

alright, ty!

Hey everyone, apologies if this has been answered before, but are there any options for Enemy Randomizer to remove bosses from the pool of enemies? Also wondering if there is a way to not have sprites be squished or tiny and instead only randomize with enemies that are the proper size? Thanks!
frail sun
how do i get geo from modding
iron blade
why did I get this game on the switch lol

why did I get this game on the switch lol
I did the same thing, but at $15 its worth double dipping to have it on switch for portability and steam for mods 👍

Yeah that seems easy enough

Hey y'all, I've been having trouble with the Daughter of Hallownest skin; I can't quite get it to work.
The file for the skin looks a hell of a lot different to the other skins i downloaded.
hollow lily
Hey! I came on here to ask a question regarding skins as well. I just downloaded custom knight and I have no idea how to return to default skin
empty sapphire
If you're in the game, you can simply go to the menu and press the default option.
It was automatically an option for me when i first tried custom knight, I'm not sure if it's the same case for you.
But if that option is there in the skin select, you can just click it to go back to the default setting.
hollow lily
I know that it is supposed to appear in the top left, but it's not there for me : /
I appreciate the help though!
empty sapphire
Man, okay.
Is the default file not there for you when you go under the custom knight folder?
If it's not, I believe you can just redownload the files
hollow lily
You mean there should be a "Default" folder in CustomKnight? Where the rest of the skin are?
empty sapphire
Yeah, it should be among the rest of your skin downloads.
empty sapphire
No problem!
scarlet holly
does anyone know why sprite packer may have stopped working (or even launching)?
I've been trying for a couple hours to get it running and I just can't
hollow lily
Hey y'all, I've been having trouble with the Daughter of Hallownest skin; I can'...
Here I found a Daughter of Hollownest download
The one zip file comes with many sub directories and copies
I hope that one of the sprite packs has what you're looking for!
pliant lantern
You mean there should be a "Default" folder in `CustomKnight`? Where the rest of...
For some unknown reason, the default skins sometimes appear for some people in one of the root folders (either the mods folder or the Hollow Knight folder that has hollow_knight.exe in it. Check those folders for a bunch of .png files, and then move them to the correct directory
hollow lily
Oh, I saw that in compressed archieve for Mod Installer, there was a default skin pack there, so I put that in
Thanks though!
pliant lantern
Hey y'all, I've been having trouble with the Daughter of Hallownest skin; I can'...
If you're still having an issue: read the readme that comes with the DoH pack. Essentially, it wants you to drop the whole pack in a much higher folder, and it replaces a lot of assets. If you just want the CustomKnight skin, then open it up and go to the CustomKnight folder that's in it. You should be able to find a regular skin. There's also a skin in it for HPbar, if you want to use that.
empty sapphire
@pliant lantern Yes! That was exactly it, though how do I add the HPbar?
pliant lantern
In the same folder that contains the "CustomKnight" folder, there's one for HPbar. It's a skin that you use to overwrite the default HPbar folder (which requires the HPbar mod)
pliant lantern
how does it work?

distant spire
Does anyone know if Randomizer 3 is working?
fallow pilot
It works fine, yes
distant spire
ok, do you know if there is anything i need to do before loading a world because when i tried it out it booted into dirtmouth
fallow pilot
You need to create a new save. You cannot load a save made without the rando (from within the rando)
Vanilla and randomized saves don't mix
distant spire
it was a new save but im going to try again
fallow pilot
When you click 'create a new save' it should show you a menu to customize your randomization. If you don't see that then the mod wasn't installed properly.
distant spire
ok ill reinstall it then
fallow pilot
Make sure you have ModCommon, SereCore, and Vasi installed and enabled as well.
distant spire
ok thanks

you open the mod installer

fair briar
And is there a way to kill my own shade from anywhere?
not with a mod thats currently out, but you could make one
tropic bloom
is there a specific area you fight the mantis gods other than god home?
fair briar
well you have the natural location and the godhome location
but if you're talking about modded bosses they are always in godhome unless otherwise specified in the readme
wheat orchid
Tmk there might be a setting for the first encounter?
Most boss mods also don’t work on godseeker mode
tropic bloom
Mm thanks i've been playing on godseeker, it's working now
real jacinth
i still dont understand
Do you think the game launches the same in all modes? Are the worlds even the same?
A lot of the boss mods also modify multiple fight locations
so what happens if one of those locations doesn't even exist?
or what happens if the FSMs for the bosses are different
or don't exist

hollow lily
Anyone else notice that with skins the geo just become invisible?
hollow lily
only sometimes?
fair briar
try only switching skins in a stag, and try adding the geo.png from the default folder in the skin folder
fair briar
it does that sometimes
memory issue
hollow lily
It makes we wonder what else goes invisible
fair briar
THK
hollow lily
I was thinking to put ALL the default sprites in the skin folders, and just skip over all the modded ones, but I suppose just geo.png shoudl do
If that is the only one that turns invis
fair briar
only geo and thk
pliant lantern
And fwiw, THK turns invisible in vanilla. Custom Knight just seems to greatly increase the chance for it for some reason.
gloomy coral
Or it's just a placebo and custom knight doesn't do anything to thk
pliant lantern
Eh, I'm fairly sure it does. Anecdotally, I've only had invisible THK without CK once, but I get it with CK about 50:50. It happens frequently enough with CK that I usually close HK and disable CK after sitting on the black egg bench.
wheat orchid
Tmk it’s a vram problem and CustomKnight takes up vram(?)
pliant lantern
Is the vram one of the things that HK has a hard limit on what it'll use?
real jacinth
limits vram and gpu usage
if vsync is turned off, your GPU will run at 100%
so capping fps will limit the GPU load
gives some headspace
pliant lantern
Until only relatively recently, I always used vsync. And when I disabled it, I capped HK to 200fps (which I'm considering turning down to 120), because otherwise it was running at 600 which was breaking all flying things. And I've always had the invisible geo and THK issues; which would seem odd, since I'm pretty sure I've never been short on available vram while playing.
real jacinth
were you capping in game?
or with rivatuner
b/c I don't trust TC's implementation one bit
pliant lantern
I'm capping using the nvidia driver
(I'm not meaning to say that it's not vram, but rather that I wonder if there's somewhat more to it)
real jacinth
probably
VRAM is the leading theory at the moment though.
the cause of invisible enemies/bosses hasn't been 100% understood
since it's a vanilla bug
but seems to happen less when GPUs aren't stressed as much
hence the VRAM theory
plus HK uses up far more VRAM than it needs
I don't remember the number, but it was a ridiculous amount
pliant lantern
I absolutely believe it's a memory related issue- but I wonder if HK itself has some kind of issue if a scene loads more quickly than it wants.
Since THK specifically is a large issue, and that room has a ton of "effects" going on- I'm curious if something that disabled all of the extra effects would help THK load more consistently
real jacinth
and it very likely could be a multifactor issue or large, momentary spikes in resource usage
I have particle effects turned to low, fps capped at 240, resolution at 1080p, and have very very rarely had THK be invis
like maybe it's happened twice ever to me
other runners have it happen way more often
pliant lantern
Does this mean I should turn down particles? 
real jacinth
wouldn't hurt
the particle reduction isn't really even noticable imo
it's like.... half the foreground dots on screen
pliant lantern
Low particles mean no more weird rain stuff on greenpath. That's important stuff
How am I going to know that greenpath is lush and likely damp, if I don't see the drips?
real jacinth

Is there any way to play where we can see and fight the same enemies and bosses? For multiplayer

It only change the file assembly csharp.dll in the managed folder. It can be easily gotten back by verifying integrity of game files

The mods in the mods folder won't matter until you have the modded assembly csharp.dll

What exactly is happening
I've installed the ModInstaller from the pinned message in discussion.
I've installed a mod.
I've read the enemy HP bar read me txt that says I must have downloaded a ModdingAPI.zip with two 2018 files assembly csharp .dll and .xml in it.
After having read that I must have saved my game files, I deleted the mods in Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight and the Mod folder in Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed.
I saved my HN files in another folder.
I've put the two Assembly csharp files in the Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed folder.
Tried to launch the game, didn't work.
Verified the integrity of the game files.
The game files have the assembly csharp . xml in them
Tried to launch the game, it worked.
Tried to put the assembly csharm . dll
Tried to launch the game, didn't work.
Verified the integrity of the games files.
The game launches successfully.
I'm at this step.
real jacinth
So you installed something very old then. The installer puts the api in automatically
You putting the api in on your own is wrong
Let the installer handle it
compact pine
So I wondered, is the 2018 Assembly csharp . dll in the ModdingAPI.zip any useful now or is it just too old ?
So there, I just install the mods and enjoy the game ?
real jacinth
It's old
I don't know where you got it
Most recent api is from this year
Not 2018
compact pine
I got it in the EnemyHPBar ReadMe.txt
rose thicket
i cant find "HKInstallerSettings.json" on my computer

So, where can I find a more recent ModdingAPI ?
