damn bruh that's a thing?
Yep
well thanks then
The Binds still work (and you can still click to add binds), but yeah, for whatever reason most of the menus don't.
Well shite
anyone know where I can find the lit of commands for the twitch mod?
the readme?
no idea how to access the readme since I used Modinstaller2
I think I found a list actually
So I download and use modinstaller.exe and it says "Unable to locate game files please make sure the game is installed and then try again" when I literally have HK running. I turn it off, still doesn't work. I reinstall, doesn't work. Reinstall the modinstaller, doesn't work. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Where did you get Hollow Knight?

The game files
it doesn't give me a prompt to redirect it, it just says it can't find it
go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > browse local files
point the intaller to there
can you screenshot what you're getting?

@honest flax This is what happens when i load the game after downloading the DRPC mod from the installer
do you have benchwarp?
yes
just to be sure
but i removed it and also tried
you know the benchwarp fix
oh ok
by sf grenade?
is there something wrong with benchwarp and the DRPC?
is that a different version then the pins?
no but i thought it could be the problem with mods not appearing from benchwarp
im pretty sure the problem is that the modinstaller put all the files directly into mods folder.
great
so the subfolders get f*ked up
do you know how to fix the problem?
read the ...?
code using dnspy?
this is all that happened?
wait
i hope the modding api doesn't load stuff from subfolders
otherwise you're screwed
ehm
wait
there are no subfolders
huh???????
look at the screen
discord_game_sdk stuff are in the same folder as Mods folder, which causes modding api to crash...
yes
so why it in mods
99.99% sure that i have changed no line of code that causes it
its the modinstaller not putting mods in a subfolder
does the readme still exist?
yeah that's so weird
you could use that to fix it mulhima
that's not the point of me telling them this
100% make sure to delete the discord_game_sdk related stuff in mods folder
ik but if you want to fix it
if we need to read the readme anyways it would be nice if it didn't stop the api from loading
lol
๐
its not your fault tho
yeah
but will that not get downloaded to mods?
i thought it would get downloaded to subfolders inside mods
i'm using modinstaller1 and it didn't really work for me.
you need to place it in plugins using your mod, + the fact that in order to make the modloader not crash you need to up the priority of placing those files away and down the priority of the other files loading
hm
your mod needs to be the first mod to load after the dependencies
well it has the priority of 10
interesting question
anyone know why ultimitum radiance isnt working
his name pops up when the fight starts but then its normal radiance
try absolute radiance?
anyone know why
we should go to #archived-modding-development
ok
wdym
ye i go to like the radiance statue at godhome
no godseeker mode
thats abs rad
ye
yea.
yeah ok
i activated the mod but it doesnt work
ss your main menu
I've seen QoL return intMax
how do i ss
huh
And also,your code says to move a folder so change that value only wouldn't work
how do i ss
ask google
hm
just get your mod to move the files and make your mod also int.MaxValue
ill try that
I gtg mulhima can you help him
and afaik every mod that has subfolders makes them themselfs
<Name>x86_64/discord_game_sdk.bundle</Name> would just make the file called that
and not create a subfolder
2
is there any way to make modinstaller make subfolders and put the files inside there?
let you mod make a subfolder and let it place the files in there
look at customknight
it makes a subfolder
enemyhpbar too
so...hm
after looking at mulhima's screenshot i can think only of one thing
modloader crashes when it sees a library that is not a .NET library file
so, let it move them before it tries to load them
hmm
the modloader seems to figure out what each file actually is
mulhima can you send modlog?
but while it does that, it doesn't load any mods at all, as far as i can tell
i tried this myself
yeah if i remember correctly it doesn't even generate any crash log
just a few logs then at the end, it says "figuring out what each file is"
and stops.
cant you make your mod download the files after everything gets loaded
i tried that by downloading the zip files from the discord's website
it returns 403 code
forbidden
the curl command works though
actually let's move to #archived-modding-development
How do I get to %APPDATA% and delete installer settings?

could it be under a name different than HKInstallerSettings.json ?
I can't seem to find such file/folder in appdata
Screenshot where you are in appdata
ok, so i used the windows installer version 1 path and deleted what i had to now
which link to downloading modinstaller is here for windows
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
this one?
yes
I fixed it, thank you for your help!
hey, uhh
i'm trying to get the mod installer, but everytime i open the website ( https : // radiance . host / mods / ModInstaller . exe ), it gives me a 404 error, does anyone know what could've caused it or how to help?
(for info, i added the spaces in the link so it doesn't turn into an actual link)
Worked fine for me
next time you could use ` your text` to make it show up like your text
so, you see...i need help again
basically, i'm using the debug mod, and i wanted to change the button euat toggles it all to a different button (since the original button, f1, shuts the laptop down), but..i accidentaly clicked again, so now i toggle the menu with the click of my mouse, and i have no idea how to change it without turning it off and on, does anyone please know how to help with that?
(i feel so stupid doing all these things and then having to ask for help here.. :,])
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
go here and delete the file named debugMod.GlobalSettings
i'll try
when you said press win + r.. can i please know which button is win (sorry i don't know much around technical stuff-)
the windows key
i installed Hollow Point but i cant shoot and i have infinate soul :/
Read the readme
there's a readme doc for most ModInstaller mods in the pins 
Is it possible to unbind in the debug mod?
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
go here and delete the file named debugMod.GlobalSettings
Thanks, that reset it to default ๐
this sucks cant fix the modloader
say what problem you have
this
make sure you have .net framework 4.0 installed
Make sure you update your operating system too
Does anyone have a 112% complete game to give me so I can do some testing?
Ok
Crazy
Context
Tmk Speedrun.com has saves you can download. You can also probably just search on google or your preferred browser
talking about that
i decided i would try a 112% save
i accidentally gained several achievements, even on steam
yea, i think the achievement system does check for a lot of achievements on bench
that's sade
i was able to reset my registry though
so the achievements get locked again, but steam...

Hey, after downloading a couple mods, they all disappeared from the in-game "mod" thing? I was wondering if this was a known bug with a known fix, or if I should just disable them until I figure out what went wrong
define "they all disappeared from the in-game "mod" thing?"
I originally only had QoL and Unofficial Hollow Knight Patch installed, and navigating to Options > Mods would always show me both of them and let me toggle them on/off
After downloading a bunch more, Options > Mods still exists, but doesn't show anything
Not all mods appear in there, for the real list of mods, refer to the top left of the main menu and pause menu
posting this here, dm me if you have an answer cuz i'm going to sleep soon
i wanna beat absrad before i beat p3 by unlocking hog through save editing. unlocked the statue, tried the variable that i'm pretty sure is for the cage door in hog but it won't open for some reason
has anyone done this before and what variable should i change
Cant you just get debug mod and no-clip through the door?
Is there a way to reset the Nail Damage to the normal value with debug mod?
So I add 4 Dmage actually
But how do I see that I reached 0?
Furrher clicks give you 4, which a nail upgrade also give
You have alittle console thingie
It will say when reach 0
Down right
Hi, Can you get invincibility with your mod manager and if yes i'd be really pleased with name of this mod
debug mod
can i have some help with the multiplayer mod what do all of thoughs numbers mean
Look in the pins for instructions on using it
how do i get modloader to work again yesterday i closed it now when i open hollow knight its not there
does downloading any mods or installers change default saves
not for me no
coolio
yesterday i deleted mod global json so i can fix the loading error now i recovered it but modloader isnt working
you're going to have to be more descriptive than that
screenshots are also very helpful
right so yesterday i had game saves that were loading so i checked pins and it said to delete two files
"Delete 2 files that have "ModdingApi.GlobalSettings" in their file name."
it worked
i wasnt playing on modloader then
now im opening modloader i open hollow knight and its just normal
what does this even mean
you cant play the game on the installer
ok so i wanted to speedrun on hollow knight without mod loader
it's a file management program
modding api made my whole game not load any saves and just loadings idk what happened
check pins
pins
idk what happened i closed modloader and deleted the 2 files, and it was hollow knight with no mods
now i cant get the mods workinh
did you verify your game files
how do i do that
oh ok thx
yes it was very dumb
screenshot your installer
as mod folder is still in hollow knight
and your title screen
well you're missing modcommon, serecore, and vasi for installed mods
and this problem is also described in pins
i couldnt find it lemme check again
see: Benchwarp fix
im not 100% sure if this is the right channel to ask, but i dont really know where else i could ask this. I need a savefile with abs rad unlocked in the HoG and Carefree melody
do you have a save file with abs rad unlocked?
cus Carefree melody is easy to get using debugmod
i do, i just dont have carefree and if i just use debug it glitches out
glitches out?
(carefree still costs 2 notches and spawns grimmchild)
I have my mods installed and enabled using ModInstaller2, but when i open the game is just default
what can i do?
if so edit the .json file to set grimmchildlevel to 5
ok, ill do that, thanks!
not sure if its really called grimmchildlevel tho
Can anyone help?!
but its not a benchwarp fix issue
the mods are enabled and none of them appear (ingame)
do you have benchwarp?
N o .
is the modding-api installed?
I also have Mod Common and Modding API installed&Enabled
you sent it after i had posted my message so i could not have seen it
screenshot your main menu
and your options menu
omg fine.
IM BLOODY RIGHT
I dont have benchwarp.global or whatever it is, so i cant delete
ergo benchwarp has NOTHING to do with this
When i try to install it it says tyhe path couldnt be found
and i couldnt install it
where is the link?
The modding API
yes
ty
whats the problem?
look above
.
ffs
I DONT
I NEVER HAVE INSTALLED IT STOP ASKING AND LOOK IN THE CHAT.
(benchwarp this, benchwarp that...)
|| you should probably be more respectful to the people that try and help you, caps dont really help anyone ||
yeah, true, but some can have common sense and look in the chat before jumping to conclusions...
if all you're going to do is yell at us when we can't help you b/c we have very limited input information to even do so, then it's very likely you won't get help
it's understandable that you're frustrated b/c things aren't working
but taking it out on us is not the answer
Sorry for that outburst, im just under pressure rn...
Telling somebody to delete a mod they don't have after they said they don't have it seems like wasting everybody's time, to be fair.
why not ?saves lol
b/c game files are right next to those lines
but he already looked if there was a benchwarp.globalsettings (if he did what he says)
Yes I know
I mean Benchwarp isn't on this list of mods
I still want to see the save files location
I'm not completely sure why you keep bringing it up.
and probably delete the api settings file
i said that to indicate he knows where the save loacation is
(if he did what he says)
People are obviously going to flip out if you accuse them of lying. ๐
what, thats not an accusation, its an possibility. Not even necessarily lying, they might just looked in the wrong folder etc
delete ModdingApi.GlobalSettings and try again
No, but telling somebody that they absolutely MUST have a mod they said they didn't is.
why are you even arguing? this is a channel for modding help, if you have something helpful to say do so if not move on
Because I want the tone of this channel to be improved.
People literally tell me they don't get involved in the Hollow Knight scene because people are always rude.
deleted and reinstalled, no effect
reinstalled?
what do you mean
should just delete the settings files and launch the game
nice edit
I deleted them from the folder, and installed them again with the modinstaller2
??
guess ill delete everything
you cant reinstall a globalsettings file??
done
or am i being stupid and not understanding things again
d o n e
did you relaunch the game again
and I'm assuming you're deleting these files when the game is closed
if not, you should be
install benchwarp, do benchwarp fix
bruh
jk

installing benchwarp and doing benchwarp fix wont do shit
Did you delete the stuff that was crossed out or the stuff that wasn't?
yep only the things crossed
are you sure you have all the globalsettings file
hmm....
as some of them can not be on the screenshot
next thing would to be trying uninstalling aditional maps and sfcore
see if things show up on title screen then
k..
And Modding API, you will need to keep that
too late lmao
Reinstall it. Nothing will work without it
should have said that 
I disabled not delete
re-enable
renaissancable
Hello, I am a bit confused with the Custom Knight mod. When I looked at the video tutorial in the pinned messages, it told me to open a .zip file for the Custom Knight mod but I didn't see any files. Also it looked like they were using a different mod installer in the video. Could someone help me figure this out?
you need to download a zip file
the zip file is a skin
you can find them in the pinned messages of #modding-discussion
the modinstaller doesnt matter
I already downloaded the skins I just don't know where to put them
@urban bridge
Did you manually install any mods?
Mod Installer 2 won't show them if they aren't from the official Gdrive/mod-links.
Can you possibly screenshot your mods folder?
I actually just found it
Thank you
ahhhhhhhh
you have DRPC
thats causing it
it broke today
delete all files with discord_game_sdk in their name
lets see,,,
together with HollowKnightDRPC and ICSharp.Code.SharpZpiLib
you'll have to wait until it gets fixed
untill then dont download it


it will break everything lol
thanks
@green bloom
Did you get mod installer working, or are you still having problems?
Hey! I'm trying to install a Randomizer with ModInstaller but every time I launch ModInstaller I can choose my game path fine but then the program throws an error regarding JIT debugging.. wondering if anyone has seen this before?
Not A True ModMaker (Kaangaming) should delete it from the installer
Check the pins 
There's a pin about this, and it has a bunch of steps, but it'll fix it
ah incredible thank you!!
lots and lots of problems lmao
any help would be great
Alright, first: what steps have you taken?
Second: what OS are you on?
If you want to use discord rpc mod read the readme to see how to set it up
Pc Windows 10
and I thought I downloaded the installer but I think i did it wrong
Correction: they should remove the SDK files from the modinstaller
After you downloaded the installer from the link, you need to move it out of your Downloads folder. It's typically recommended to move it to desktop.
Then run it as Admin.
It's it still asking for the Hollow Knight path?
no its not asking for the path anymoreim gonna try moving it now
If you didn't point it to the correct path originally, then you'll need to reset it. There's info on how to do that in the pinned messages
. The relevant part is that you'll need to find the Mod Installer folder in APPDATA and delete it.
managed to get it to boot thank you! now I'm crashing at a different point lol. SereCore, Benchwarp and QoL successfully install but then it crashes whilst installing Vasi?
Close the installer, Delete everything in your mods folder, and restart your computer, then try running the installer again
If you don't know where your mods folder is, then I'll link it in a moment

The Game Path link above, then from there you go into Hollow Knight Data, then Managed, then you should see Mods
Hmm all done, still the same error sadly
Hmmm.. I'm on mobile right now, so I can't easily search- but I know other people have had that license error. Maybe @fair briar knows the fix off-hand?
Ah, I've just seen one person also have the error and I think they tried randomizer2 instead so hope that will work
No, you don't want Randomizer 2
Do you have Anti Malware/Virus software, that is maybe attempting to block/quarantine that file?
error
who summoned me?
ah
i know a fix but people never told me if it worked
- What version of Hollow Knight do you have (where did you buy it)?
- Did the installer ask you for the path of the game?
you can try going to c:\tmp and delete the files inside HKModinstaller, then restart the pc
for dwarfwoot
@wet shore
make sure the installer exe is on desktop. reset it following pins, delete vasi.zip in your mods folder, then try opening the installer again as admin
I knew you'd have something to try lol 
Fwiw, sorry for the ping.
np
hmm didn't have this folder in tmp sadly
and yep have also done all of this
w h a t
then just try restarting the pc
gotcha ahaa
in this order specifically?
It's not a folder in temp. Delete all of the files in the tmp
yep followed step-by-step
tmp clear afaik
do you have hidden folders enabled?
(checked hidden files as well)
lol
lool
๐
lol
i'll give it another restart see if all of this worked
I feel like if all of that didn't work, then the next step is to use Mod Installer 2 to get everything installed and working. I don't understand why Vasi specifically would look for a ModInstaller license, but this seems like it wouldn't be an issue if it's something tied to just the Zote Installer.
yeah its wierd
Ah will have to try this - hopefully this works
i didn't even know that mods have an licence
I'm still kinda sus of a Anti Virus program causing shenanigans though, tbh
Got to head off now but will try this when I'm back - thanks for the help guys!
why the tmp folder or mods folder tho
I don't know if Vasi itself had the license, or if the installer was making a check while attempting to install it though, especially since the license in question seems to be a mod installer one.
Also, some Anti Virus stuff is really aggressive, especially depending on the settings that some people put on (that they usually just think "more protection is better"). Especialy when they look for unrecognized programs that are self-extracting, they can get very rude.
(that they usually just think "more protection is better")
did that once (didn't work out well)
the best antivirus software is "not being an idiot"
lol
I mean, I'd consider modern Windows Defender to be the better option out of anti Virus stuff than the vast majority of other similar stuff. Old Defender was garbage- they did a huge revamp of it for businesses in the Win8 era, which got pushed through to modern Defender. Modern WD has flaws, sure, but it'll reliably prevent malicious stuff if you do get exposed somehow, and it's not a literal scam like any of the modern big-name anti-virus distributers.
this + the smartscreen stuff really does work enough for me
its pretty reliable for a standard virusscanner
Malwarebytes is probably the only other good one these days, unless something has happened to it in the last few years that I'm unaware of.
They're all just bloatware. If you don't do dumb stuff, you don't need virus protection
but dumb stuff = fun stuff
yes
alright, cya ๐
tell your crush you like them
I mean, this is true. Not-being-an-idiot will prevent most problems. But like, having protection is still a good thing. Abstinence is fine, and effective, but protection isn't bad.
not the best analogy, but it works I guess. lol
not having antivirus programs makes your machine run better and is more lightweight
but yeah, if you want them to feel better, go for it
At least WD is literally built into the OS though, and is going to be as lightweight and seemless as you can get.
Having something to potentially prevent a worm that's tunneled into your network is a good idea imo, and Manually doing a scan periodically to reduce resource usage won't catch that.
And yes, people ideally have their home network very secure, possibly using a DMZ method, and maybe even firmware on their router that's doing a preliminary check for malware- but I doubt that's a reasonable option for the majority of people.
WD is great on newer devices, on older devices it constantly pins disk usage to 100% making the system slow down to a crawl
right at startup too, so the system is sometimes fully unusable for 15 - 20 mins after boot
that's one place where i'd recommend disabling it and getting malwarebytes / avast free and setting it to run only when manually run
If the device is pre-Win10, then the software that the person should want isn't the built-in Defender. Iirc they've want "Windows Defender Professional" which was/is a download from the Microsoft website.
It is two different programs, under the same general name/branding.
That aside, yeah I'd recommend Malwarebytes. The free version is completely manual though (unless it's changed), and the ongoing scanner, which is what will catch the thing that I'd actually be worried about, is only in the paid version.
Avast is isn't good these days though. Unless something has really changed in the last few years, it's just as much of a scam as McAfee

To the person who keeps periodically typing-
If you need help, you can post :)
I know my rambling is slightly off-topic, but tbh Anti-Malware software is often related to mods not working for lots of games lol
tbf i've not use avast recently either, so it might have got worse in recent years.
i'm specifically talking about older devices upgraded to Win 10 having these issues.
Ahh. Yeah, I wouldn't put Win10 on older hardware. If the hardware is old enough, either keep the current OS and make sure you're aware of known vulnerabilities (and hopefully have Anti Malware software to prevent those from being a major issue), or better yet just switch to a flavor of Linux that you like and is actively supported.
How do I open appdata
i couldnt find another g
what happened?
modinstaller1's files are not in Appdata/Roaming (which is where %appdata% points), but in Appdata/Local
does it?
i thought it just sends you to appdata
then i'll need to update it to %appdata%\..
or just search it up using a program like everything
can someone tell me what is the last version of the game?
1.5.66.11805

Well, don't. Open game, hit PrtScr and then CTRL+V here.
Unless you're not on Windows, which would be helpful to know too.
Much better
The mods menu in there is typically unused, to my knowledge.
do what someone said

but only benchwarp
Nah

i'd never do that cus then all my binds are gone 
Backup debug files then
Hello, i have a mod that's called Godly Nightmares. I didn"t install it and i can't take it off.
But it also transforms Marmu
Is it possible yo take it off?
why are people lazy tho
to*
its useful
Delete it from your mods folder
Now what?
Ex: You really want to disable pale court while youโre in a custom room?
cus DRPC completely broke when togglable
Done
Start the game
If the game was already on, close it and repeat
Thanks!
It hasn't fixed it
maybe he didn't try hard enough and also, it doesnt matter you can't toggle ingame cuz it doesnt affect gameplay
screenshot again
Yeah, but I closed it because it wouldn't let me and tried again
and also your mods folder
Ok
DRPC lfg
well "fix"
and read the readme for drpc for instructions to properly install it
also do this
what are these 2 doing here? (edit: it comes with modconsole)
and delete modconsole and the 2 files circled above, 99% sure you dont need it
just add .dll to it?
okay, everything seems to be working now
Thanks!
anyone know how to play with friends with the multi mod?

I've asked before, but how do you get your mouse to be locked when playing modded? Sometimes it'll drift out of the window and Hollow Knight will lose focus and then I can't move for a moment while I fix the mouse
For some reason HK doesn't let me enable fullscreen
QoL has an option to lock mouse to window
Hi, i need some help installing the debug mod
if that doesnt work use something like autohotkey
I'll be in vc if anyone can help
Oh good I'll look for that
or just state the problem here
ok
i think zaliant once made a mod specifically for mouse lock
I downloaded it once and it did nothing
Yep, didn't work
I can't find the setting in QoL, where should I be looking for that?
did it show up on the top left of main menu?
Whenver I try to download the mod API for the debug mod, I get a 404
What's going on?

Oh I was looking in game, I will look there Wait I'm dumb I was thinking of something else
Does anyone know why my controller isn't working? when I got to controller settings in hollow knight this is what I see
It works fine without mods
ModdingAPI (the things that auto-installs when you launch ModInstaller, and is required for mods) messes up controllers for some people, for some reason.
Common things to try:
small_blue_diamondIn my case, I had to use Steam's Big Picture Mode to "Force Controller" in the settings for Hollow Knight. With this solution, I have to have my controller plugged in before I launch Hollow Knight, otherwise steam doesn't do its thing.
small_blue_diamondIn some cases, waiting to plug in the controller until after you get into the Main Menu makes it work.
small_blue_diamondIn some cases, using a program (such as Steam's Big Picture, or Joy2Key, or similar) to remap all of the controller buttons to act as Keyboard inputs fixes it.
Assuming you're on Windows, you may also want to toggle "Native Controller Input" in Hollow Knight's settings (in the Main Menu, Settings, Controller settings). If it's ON, then turn it OFF (and vice versa). That may also fix it (that was another problem I had at least).
From DwarfWoot#0643. (#archived-modding-help message)
I downloaded Zaliant's mouse mod thing and it doesn't work, my mouse can still go about halfway down my taskbar before being stopped =/
You said something about QoL having a setting somewhere though, I want to try that before AHK. Where is that setting?
My map is completely desynced for some reason
?
Lemme get a quick video to show you
See what I mean?
Every screen transition does this
What mods are on
Modding API additional maps bench warp charm overhaul charm notch mod debug mod enemy hp bar mod common more saves qol and unnoffical hollow knight patch
And press g to dab
Try disabling unofficial patch. If that doesnโt work, try disabling additional maps
Did you see which one specifically caused it?
No, but I suspect additional maps because I only noticed the issue after adding it
sad, now i have to look into that, idk when though
I need help getting the mod installer to work
What kind of help?
This is what i get
suspense
Hi everyone,
I bought HK on Steam and after some issues I was able to use the Modinstaller. I tried Custom Knight and QoL, it worked. However now I have 1000 Essence and wanted to get the Dream Gate, but the Seer insists that the Dream Nail is already awoken and he doesn't give me the usual stuff. I tried switching off all of the mods and I clicked on "revert back to unmodded." This lead to the info that it was "unable to locate vanilla HK". I restarted the PC but it didn't help. Any ideas?
I would like help as soon as possible because I would like to stream these mods today

Clipping out of bounds is a feature of QoL if this is clipping out of bounds
It happens only when a map is open during a transistion
To mimic 1.2.2.1
watch me ping him

Did you use open that save file with other mods on at any point (such as Randomzier, or Debug)? If so, you may have donked up part of the save. Hopefully you made a backup of your saves before modding them, and then you can revert using your backups. If not, then that save is probably just wonky now, because trying to save-edit to fix that sounds like a nightmare. You can use debug mode to give yourself anything missing from Seer though.
-
You can revert to vanilla by using "Verify Integrity" from steam. When the installer installed the modding api, it might have donked up placing the vanilla backup. Off-hand, I don't remember how to get that all working smoothly again, but steam's verify Integrity will always work.
Note: Reverting to vanilla won't fix your save
You always type whole paragraphs like this is a essay lol
i downloaded the QoL mod, and it says that it failed to load in the top left corner of the menu screen
it has done this 2 times so far
Vasi
Get the Vasi mod
I have personal issues about ambiguity, and I like to make sure that I'm thorough.
can you link it or is it in the mod installer
Thank you for your help. I will try the different suggestions.
Mod installer
- Reset the installer (info in pins
) - If you didn't download it from here, then make sure that you use the link from here to download it.
- Move the installer to your desktop, and run it as Admin.
- If it asks for the path to the hollow knight folder, make sure that you select the correct one
If this doesn't work, then post more info, including where you installed Hollow Knight, which version of Hollow Knight you have (where did you buy it), and post a screenshot of your main menu.
To the people who are rly good at modding, what should I do to start learning it? I don't have much experience, but I want to make an extension for the debug mod. What resources should I use to get a good start working with that?
do you need to see the modlog.txt
Learn how to code, first and foremost.
Wouldn't hurt to send it
If you know how to code then follow up with the apidocs as referenced above
k
If you don't know how to code then there are a ton of tutorials in C# made by microsoft. Just need to google around. I'd link you but I'm on mobile atm
do you just want me to send the whole note pad page
Send the txt file
i did it

youre missing modcommon
how do i fix that
download modcommon
Is it working?
yes
K thanks for the help
currently running an issue with the modinstaller, whenever I try to revert back to vanilla HK, it still boots up as modded even after I disable all the mod stuff
any idea what could be causing the issue? only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling everything rn
The cause of this could be a few things, but it's not really important.
To revert to vanilla, use Steam's "Verify Integrity", and don't open the Installer until you want to play modded again
gotcha thank you
if you want to permanently fix the "revert to unmodded" button, then IIRC you need to delete all of the Assembly-CSharp files in your \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed folder, then verify integrity with steam, then launch the installer. Possibly you may have to reset the installer too, but I don't think so.
These bois
So I woke up today, started up Hollow Knight with some mods on... and all my saves had a "Save Corrupted" In place of them... plz help I don't wanna lose 100 hours of my life...
Please @me if you can help
Can you post a screenshot of your main menu, and of your saves screen?
ok hold on
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2459295368 Um it wasn't doing that earlier, its also unmodded now sooo...
- Check the pins

- Specifically, you want this: <#archived-modding-help message>
Also, that didn't include your main menu, but most likely that fix is all that's needed.
Hey is this room acceptable for questions on downpatching?
Technically, sure, but you'll probably have better luck in #speedrunning
how do I make an extension for the debug mod? I've seen tutorials and stuff but nothing helps. I'm so lost rn.
check pinned 
This largely depends on your experience.
For starters btw, #archived-modding-development if for talking about making mods, and the pins there have a lot of good info.
Other than that, if you're unfamiliar with programming (or at least C#), then you'll probably want to follow some intro tutorials for it, so that you feel familiar with it. After that, then start looking at the api docs (which I'm assuming is what you saw), the tutorials for making hk mods, and open up a few mod sources to see how they work.
When you feel comfortable with doing some basic stuff, then probably ask for help with your idea and what direction you need to start in #archived-modding-development .
Hey my mod installer won't open do you guys know why?
To expand upon what Mickely said,
- Where did you get the installer?
- Which installer is it?
- Has it ever worked (how long ago if so)?
- Have you tried anything yet?
- Have you changed anything about your setup recently?
- What OS are you on?
I'm currently playing online with a friend and we can't connect together. correction, we can connect together but can't see eachother. I mean we can, but although we are moving, we only see eachother as standing still

Check the Multiplayer Troubleshooting pin.
After following all of those steps, if you're still having issues, you both probably need to try restarting your games.
At this point though, I'd recommend using HKMP, which is a newer Multiplayer mod that's being actively developed.
Link to the mod: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
If you run into any problems, or have Qs about it, there's a link to a support server for it on the github.
I got the installer from the link in Fireborn's video
It worked back in january
I have only tried opening it
My setup is the same
I'm on Ms Windows
I don't know which vid it is. I'm pretty sure Fireb0rn has been trying to make sure that all of the links point to the link that is always the current version, but just in case it doesn't, make sure it's from here:
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Annnd if you haven't used it since January, then you'll probably need to reset it and re-download it
there's some messages about it in the pins 
Alright thanks I'll try
hey so Hollow Knight isn't recognizing any of my mods. I've checked the pins for fixes and none of them have worked. Neither 1 or 2 will register, even though they're installed correctly. I've tried redownloading both installers, and even tried redownloading the game, but nothing is working.
Redownloading worked thank you
- define "Not recognizing mods"
- have you used mods before?
- what os are you on?
- what version of HK do you have (where is it from?)
I have one more question. Is the inferno king grimm mod broken because it never downloads for me?
- not recognizing mods as in the game says I have no mods installed when I do have them installed
- yes, I've been using Hollow Knight mods for about a month now
- I'm on windows
- I believe I have the most recent update and I have it through Steam. Steam keeps making me redownload Hollow Knight and it's been messing with my mods.
Did you install the depencies? WeaverCore and ModCommon?
I did a few short randomizer runs last night and it worked
I dont have weavercore
If you're using the Beta, then they won't work;
If you "Verify Integrity", then they won't work.
You need the modding api to be installed, which it won't be if steam re-downloads HK.
Try running the installer, and it should automatically re-install Modding API (assuming you're using ZoteInstaller; if you're using 2, then you need to manually click to install+enable ModdingApi)
I'm pretty sure that you need WeaverCore
Ok thanks I'll try with weavercore
I did not work
I'm pretty sure IKG just needs WeaverCore and possibly ModCommon. If you have them all installed, can you screenshot you main menu?
ZoteInstaller isn't automatically re-installing Modding API and 2 says it's already installed but it's not.
Do you have multiple copies of HollowKnight installed?
no
With the installer closed, go here and delete these files:
then use Steam's "Verify Integrity" option
It should tell you that there's 1 file to fix
when it's done, launch Zote installer again
I'm not exactly sure which files to delete. Everything in the circle?
yes
so the four files shown then?
Zoteinstaller reinstalled Modding API successfully but Hollow Knight still says I don't have any mods installed
Can you post screenshots of:
- Your HK main menu
- Your
Modsfolder
How do I permanatly delete the modinstaller from my device
bc its not worlking for me and im trying to delete it and redownload it
ModInstaller is just an exe
you just delete it
that's it
You can also delete the ModInstaller folder in appdata I guess. Info on doing that is in the pins, in the section about resetting the installer
okay ove deleted it
i just reinstall
now right?
This error message keeps appearing
I even followed the instructions on deleting it to reinstall
does anyone recognixe this error message???
bc i keep getting it and no matter where i place the file it says it doesnt work
Sorry my response is so late, I have horrible internet. I'm not sure how to take screenshots on my laptop, and I have to send the pictures one at a time.
Here's my mods folder
When you click the button, you need to point it to the folder that has hollow_knight.exe
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
specifically, this folder (by default): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\
Although if it didn't see that spot, then most likely it's because you have HK installed somewhere else
You can right-click on HollowKnight in steam, click Properties, then Local, then Browse to open the folder that you need
So when you open the game, it downloads something
If so it's probs replacing the API with the original file
How can I fix this?
I did exactly this
but it still doesnt work
What's your steam update settingsfor HK?
Go here and ss
Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on browse
It's set to always stay updated. I'm assuming I need to disable that?
HOLY SHI- Nevermind we are good thank you all soooo much!!!!!!!!
Try doing only update when I launch it
Okay. I've changed the setting to only update when I launch it. Is there anything I need to do before I open the game?
Idk if it's gonna work
You also need to open modinstaller again to redownload the api
After you open the game, open the settings in-game and se if there's an options for mods
the mods option shows up, but the game still isn't recognizing the mods. It says that I don't have any installed
when you opened the game, did it download something?
Benchwarp fix worked! Thank you so much for the help!
thank you for the help. I'll keep these methods in mind for any future issues
I wanted to know for future reference
Like does changing that option not download something?
I don't think it downloaded anything. I'm not sure how to check
Eg of steam downloading something
Steam keeps making me redownload Hollow Knight and it's been messing with my mods.
It only does it every now and again, not all the time. Sometimes it happens frequently but other times I won't have to download it for quite some time
So after you changed the setting it didn't download
It made me download earlier, just before I reached out for help, but it didn't make me download Hollow Knight after fixing the issue
someone explain to me how debug mod works
i need to unlock the absrad cage in hog and i can't seem to do that through save editing (i haven't done p3 btw)
already unlocked the pv and absrad statue but can't get into the absrad room
If you want to clip through it with Debug, then open the debug menu with F1, and either set a no-clip bind, and/or click the "no clip" button under cheats
Or you can become invincible and finish P3
i wanna beat absrad before p3 for the laughs lmao
er i'm on m1 mac
how to open debug menu i don't think i have f1
okay so
me and my friends downloaded ModdCommen the Multiplayer Client and hamachi all the same way
and they were all able to see each other except for me
should I uninstall the game and then try again?
No
If you're using the Multiplayer mod that's in the ModInstaller, then check the pinned message for troubleshooting 
If everyone else was able to see eachother, then tbh it just sounds like you didn't connect
ooo okay
I wonder y
Who was hosting?
No-- I was just checking to make sure that you weren't already the person hosting. Sometimes people who are hosting forget that they also need to connect

hey, experiencing a ?bug? (may just be my fault) where using the "revert back to unmodded" button will give me an error, which says "unable to locate vanilla hollow knight. Please verify integrity of game files and relaunch this installer."
@past vault
Did you do the steps it told you to do yet?
What that message is telling you, is that it can't use the "revert to unmodded" function, most likely because the file it needs got overwritten. The ModdingAPI (which is what that button is about) works differently from the mods themselves.
so what file would be causing the issue?
and is there a way to fix it? Because currently everything seems normal, there are a few readmes & such cluttering the folder.
Did you do what the message told you?
Please verify integrity of game files and relaunch this installer.
hey is there anyway to create hollowknight skins on mac? if so can I have the website name or linl
link
Skins are just sprite files
You can manually make skins by drawing over the knight sprites on knight.png
Other than that suggestion though, possibly ask in the art channels too?
I'm honestly not sure where the best place to find mac resources for the sprite edits, outside of just googling it
Hey, does anyone know if the poorly translated mod is broken? Get an error message when trying to install
i dont believe so, i use a mod installer though
Same, every time i try it downloads fine and then says "unhandled exception has occurred in your app..." seems to only be with that mod
System.IO.IOException: The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open.
hello guuys do you know hoe to edit HK sprites for mac?
Hmm, thanks for that, but just tried again and this happens right after it says "Download completed!" and then nothing shows up in my mod folder
Herrah is just nonexistent and I can't dream nail her to get last dreamer. I have on 'Art' Mods, Benchwarp, Custom Knight, Debug, FrogCore, HPBar, ModCommon, and QoL. Anyone know which of these might cause this problem/a way to fix it?

I used hollow point and am trying to fix the focus. Fixed it without QoL but now that i'm running QoL My problem is I tried to go into user#.json but it won't let me edit the file. I feel like I need to open it a certain way but don't know how any1 know?
instead of doing that, try this

worked beautifully thank you
what mods do you have? send the crash report.
and also the outputLog
they can be found in save file location
to get there Press win + r and then paste this

Help ModInstaller
when I try to open ModInstaller I get a "Microsoft.NET Framework" box that roughly translated says "An unhandled exception has occurred in your application program. If you click Continue, this error will be ignored. If you click quit, the application will end immediately
if I click continue then i get a screencovering box that has one small thing in the topleft corner saying "Manually"
^(That's in Pinned messages too)
hi everyone I have a question: if I play HK on steam with offline mode (steam) am I able to play online with mod?
Probably not since you are not connected to the internet
my computer has internet tho ... I just use steam in offline mode
Ok. The you should be fine
how do i add mods to a downpatched version?
Afaik you can only get Debug mod on downpatched versions
yeah thats what i wanted
Should be in #resources
Could I get some help with my game? It takes way longer than normally to load and after it finally it just runs at like 5 fps. I didn't have this issue before (earlier today) I tried reinstalling the game and restarting my pc neither of those worked
What mods do you have?
Modding api, benchwarp, death counter, debugmod, enemy hp bar, modcommon, QoL, more saves, toggleable bindings, unofficial hollow knight patch
Afaik the Unofficial HK Patch does some weird things with other mods sometimes, try disabling it maybe?
Nope didn't help
It runs better in the main menu yeah. Although it definitely ran better before
ok i downloaded the mod how do i put the mod on for 1.2.2.1?
Modinstaller doesnt work with 1.2.2.1
so how do i put the debug mod on
Put the dll in the mods folder
where is that? im in hollow knight data
Have you ran the game once after installing the api?
whats the api again sorry
What are they called
yes
After that there should be an mods folder to put it in
Screenshot your downpatched main menu
Be sure you have replaced the assembly.sharp of the downpatch not your normal one
I dont necessarily need help for installing mods since I have the switch version, but I was looking around for anyone that has the debug mod and could maybe give me a picture of the Hornet arena in Greenpath wihout the HUD? I want it for a wallpaper
#modding-discussion and shouldnt be to difficult but am not at my pc rn
