Almost like Someone did that intentionally grubthink

misty chasm
#

you think so? quite elaborate to think ahead this much xD

#

Someone or "Someone" ?

#

xD

The grandest and eldest of oracles predicted the day when micasim would enter the hollow knight discord, asking for help from someone, pinging 753, and uttering cries for help into the eternal void. But Redfrog, heeded the predictions of the oracles and renamed himself to Someone!! Redfrog would answer the call. Redfrog would be there when the time was right!

misty chasm
#

the prophecy has become true

is there a hotkey to disable the show hitboxes mod ingame?

someone help me with mod installer?

someone or "Someone"?

when I use the mod installer and I open my hollow knight all the saves and the config are invisible

#

maybe the staff, who is telling you to check pins, with the command, knows what you need to do

pliant lantern
#

Also, why do people always think that mod installer is the issue, when the issue is in their game? Are there games on which the installer itself does something? The handful of games I've modded have similar installers, that essentially just put things in the correct places, but don't actually do anything at runtime.

pliant lantern
#

Ah!

limber egret
#

There are people here who don't know where there downloads folder is. Assuming they have any experience or knowledge about this stuff is a bad step

#

I'm not even being facetious

pliant lantern

That's fair

hey guys the pure vessel skins with hud and spells said there was a challenge for it, is that out or, not?

novel bronze
#

Is it possible for somebody to link me to a mod tutorial video please? I just got into hollow knight on PC since I've been on console and wanted to try some mods out but idk where to start

real jacinth

dense shuttleBOT
novel bronze
#

Oh thank you!!!

#

I didn't see one lol

pliant lantern
#

I don't think there's a video pinned, but there are some instructions

#

It's not complicated enough to warrant a video imo, but if you really want one, I'm pretty sure Fireb0rn covers the basics in the Custom Knight tutorial vid

#

You just need ModInstaller

I cannot find any info or source for this mod on GitHub (which would allow me to easily check the source for obvious issues.) I won't invest much more effort due to working right now. If this is breaking mod compat then maybe another mod which does the 'same thing' would work for you. Try the DebugMod on ModInstaller (and remove this one) and use DebugMod's invincibility mode. That is an alternative.

feral pelican
wheat orchid
#

Did the file you downloaded contain a file called Assembly-Csharp

feral pelican
#

yep

wheat orchid
#

Won’t work with other mods

#

That replaced the ModdingApi, the thing that runs other mods

#

You can get it back by opening mod installer again

#

Or reinstalling the ModdingApi if that didn’t do it

feral pelican
#

oh i see, i dont know much about modding

#

opening mod installer and doing what?

wheat orchid
#

Mod installer 8 or 2?

feral pelican
#

8.7.1

wheat orchid
#

At the bottom of the installer is there a button that says enable or disable ModdingApi(or enable all installed mods)

feral pelican
#

i dont seem to have that

misty chasm
#

Why play the game if your invincible? Sounds kinda dull. And no fun in it

fallow pilot
feral pelican
#

i've beaten it a few times on switch and thought it would be fun to tinker with different mechanics

misty chasm
#

Sorry

#

Fair enough

HK won't recognize my controller's inputs, and i'm pretty sure it has something to do with mods, since i wasn't having issues with them before. I had the same issue with an older, since replaced controller, which i temporarily fixed by mapping the button inputs to keyboard buttons. I got a new controller in hopes it would fix, since the arrow key-joystick conversion is not very smooth. The controller is wired, and i'm on a mac if that matters

oh, but do you have any ideas on how to fix my controller recognition problem, so i dont have to use jotokey?

no, controllers suck

win + R and paste the thing by windows

civic acorn
#

i have copy files delete and paste and play hk yeah?

#

what i must do

junior jewel
#

question about the Hollow Point mod. How do I do the desolate dive/something similar? i just wanted to know if it just takes me equipping something that gives me a class and then it basically lets me break the ground, or if there's something special other than that. Right now I'm stuck after the Soul Master fight.

fair briar
civic acorn
#

and what next i must copy or something

fair briar
#

after you deleted them run the game again

fair briar
civic acorn
fair briar
#

delete them

#

yeet them

civic acorn
#

all?

fair briar
#

destroy them

#

with globalsettings in their name

civic acorn
#

ok all deleted

#

what next?

fair briar
#

then run the game

civic acorn
#

oke

#

any ideas how to fix it?

hollow holly
#

can anyone tell me which pin it is

#

for windows

#

nvm

#

i found it

junior jewel
#

So, I ended up disabling Hollow Point and it works fine, I used that to get me out of where i was stuck. I've put Hollow Point back on and it wont work again. I've tried different charms, different levels of adrenaline, and nothing procs my Desolate Dive. Should I do a clean install? Remove DD with Debug and re add it? I dunno what to do, but I know I need DD to progress in several parts.

#

Nevermind. I needed to use quickcast to use it... finally got it to work.

fickle parrot
#

depending on the kit you get a diffrent effect

#

like explosions all over the screen

junior jewel
#

Yeah i know, I just couldnt get it to work at all. It's all good now

fickle parrot
#

alright just wanted to check since maybe it was working and you didn't see it

long pagoda
#

ok ik im stupid, but where is the map location, for the white palace, (
using the map mod)

hoary aspen
#

Is there a changelog to the mods I'm updating?

fair briar
#

Unless the modmaker has gone out of their way, no

hoary aspen
#

hm

#

also is there a mod that displays the Knight's attack hitbox?

fair briar
#

Hitboxes mod

#

Its not on the installer

#

Maybe (probably) on github

hoary aspen
#

doesn't do that

fair briar
#

hmm

#

Then no

vernal rain
#

There is a custom version somewhere that displays those

hoary aspen
#

oh?

#

if anyone happens to know please ping me then

vernal rain
hoary aspen
#

oh thank you

vale trellis
#

So uh, can you install custom mods with the ModInstaller2?

#

If so, then how?

fair briar
#

Well yeah

#

Go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > browse local files

#

Then hollow knight data > managed > mods

#

And place the .dll in the mods folder

vale trellis
#

Uh

#

What if mods use the same dll?

#

I must override it?

fair briar
#

Just change the name?

vale trellis
#

Hmmmm

#

I can try

limber egret
#

If they use the same DLL you will probably want to overwrite it anyway

#

Because it's the same mod

fair briar
#

What does "use the same dll" even mean lol

#

A mod does not use a dll it is a dll

vale trellis
#

I overwrited it. lol

trim wraith
#

does GODump seperate atlases or will it be like this?

fair briar
#

Seperate

#

It will,make seperated and atlasses

trim wraith
#

how do i use it though

#

is there video tutorial?

fair briar
#

Readme?

trim wraith
#

i feel too stupid but will try

#

thanks

fair briar
#

Very simplified it is: mash the f2 to f5 buttons till everything lags

#

Then wait for it all to end or a crash

wheat orchid
#

Also @ me if you reply

vernal rain
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
civic acorn
#

maybe I know the reason why it doesn't work modinstaller

#

WOW, I deleted the mod installer files and it works

wheat orchid
#

🤔

trim wraith
#

i dont get what im supposed to do with this

#

i did the stuff you said game crushed but nothing happened

#

its probably because i had to do something with this but idk what

wheat orchid
trim wraith
#

what

trim wraith
#

So, didn't I need to download it?

#

@fair briar yeah i downloaded that to

wheat orchid
#

You needed to download the dll from releases

fair briar
#

in the zip is a .dll

trim wraith
#

just like readme said

fair briar
#

place it in the mods folder

trim wraith
#

i did pressed the buttons and game crashed

#

after a while

fair briar
#

do you know where the saves location is?

#

if yes, look for a folder called "sprites"

wheat orchid
#

Then it was dumping all that stuff, are there any instructions after the hk stuff

trim wraith
#

i do

#

@wheat orchid i dont think so

wheat orchid
#

Ok

wheat orchid
#

Then just do what rutty says

fair briar
#

rutty

#

Somyone

trim wraith
wheat orchid
#

Somyone -Ruttie 2021

trim wraith
#

there is folder like that but these arent the sprites i tried to rip

fair briar
#

hmm

#

ok lemme look

#

what ones do you want

wheat orchid
#

Did you follow the other steps to edit the global settings file

trim wraith
#

hall of gods sly boss scene

wheat orchid
#

If so, your game crashed before dumping everything

trim wraith
#

scene name vas GG_SLY

#

was*

fair briar
#

press F3

#

dont close the game

trim wraith
#

in that scene?

fair briar
#

idk if it matters

#

prob not

wheat orchid
#

what does f3 do again

fair briar
#

the string in the globalsettings file

#

it makes it

wheat orchid
#

Ah

#

I’d have thought you need to be in the scene you want with the objects you want loaded

fair briar
#

yeah prob better do that

trim wraith
#

i pressed

#

im in the scene

wheat orchid
fair briar
#

when i pressed F3 there was no Nightmare Grimm Anim

#

but yet there it is

wheat orchid
#

What mods were on

#

And where were you

fair briar
wheat orchid
#

I got pv when I was using pure vessel path of pain

fair briar
trim wraith
wheat orchid
#

lol

trim wraith
#

with what?

fair briar
#

notepad

trim wraith
#

i did

fair briar
#

then do you see the long line of words

#

remove the things you dont want

#

"AnimationsToDump":

trim wraith
#

okay i did

fair briar
#

press F4 ingame

#

i have a 202mb modlog

#

thanks to DRPC

trim wraith
#

i did

#

is that all

fair briar
#

go to saves and look for sprites again

#

and did the game crash?

trim wraith
#

yes

fair briar
#

hmm

trim wraith
#

there are new sprites like godseeker but i didnt get the sly boss sprites

#

i guess game crashed before those were dumped

fair briar
#

in the globalsettings only leave the sly sprites

trim wraith
#

it worked

#

thanks

#

sorry for the trouble

bleak zephyr

which mod is the one that lets you skip text?

spice oasis
#

idk

real jacinth
#

none skip text. QoL can make text appear faster tho

bleak zephyr
#

does QoL force charm notch mod on you?

real jacinth
#

infinite notches mod?

#

no

#

that's a separate mod

bleak zephyr
#

No, the one that automatically gives notchs from salubra once you have the charm requirment

That's part of randomizer

#

How do I fix this?

limber elk
# real jacinth ?i

erm ok.. I actually already have this when I installed the multiplayer mod, but which one in the menu is the gun mod?

real jacinth
#

hollow point

hoary aurora
bleak zephyr
#

Ok sorry

hoary aurora
#

I did the exact same thing 15 minutes ago

limber elk
hoary aurora
#

also if I want my game to be vanilla, do I have to uninstall the modinstaller?

bleak zephyr
#

just disable everything

real jacinth
#

hollow point is a type of bullet

hoary aurora
bleak zephyr
#

i think

real jacinth
#

if you're using installer 1, press the revert to unmodded button

#

or whatever it says.

hoary aurora
#

how do I "verify the integrity of game files"?

real jacinth
#

through steam

#

right click the game

#

properties -> local files -> verify game integrity

bleak zephyr
#

Whats the difference between windows installer 1 and 2

hoary aurora
bleak zephyr
real jacinth
real jacinth
hoary aurora
real jacinth
#

1 also has a readme button

bleak zephyr
#

how do I tell which one i have?

real jacinth
#

no

#

open steam

#

right click it in steam

hoary aurora
#

oh, i got it thanks, sorry

real jacinth
#

this is installer 1. If you have a bunch of check boxes, you have 2

#

If it doesn't look like either.... I dunno wtf you have

bleak zephyr
#

I have 1

#

how do I go to %appdata%

real jacinth
#

paste the whole thing in your address bar

bleak zephyr
#

what do you mean?

real jacinth
#

and press enter

bleak zephyr
#

I dont know where you are

real jacinth
#

file explorer

hollow rover
#

does the mod installer come with Hollowpoint?

real jacinth
#

yes

hollow rover
#

or do I have to inst-

#

Is it named hollowpoint?

real jacinth
#

it comes with all mods

#

did you look?

hollow rover
#

Oh, I guess I am blind. xP

#

Thanks for the assist. 😮

bleak zephyr
#

I deleted the modinstaller folder, do I just reopen it now

real jacinth
#

yes

bleak zephyr
#

ok

#

im getting the same error

real jacinth
#

did you follow all of the instructions?

#

resetting your installer is only line 2

bleak zephyr
#

oh

haughty remnant
#

Just downloaded mod installer. How do I choose it to connect to Hollow Knight's files?

fallow pilot
#

It should do so automatically if you have the game installed through Steam (And maybe GOG? IDK)

fair briar
#

it should auto detect the default install paths for steam and GoG

haughty remnant
#

It told me I had to manually select, do I need to keep the game open?

fallow pilot
#

No. Did you acquire the game through GoG or Steam?

haughty remnant
#

Steam

scenic urchin
#

happend to me also, I dont know the solution, trying to re-download rn, gonna give you info on how it goes

haughty remnant
scenic urchin
#

i mean re-download the game

fallow pilot
#

You could also select the path, is that a problem somehow?

fallow pilot
#

When you click the button it should bring up an explorer window. Navigate to the game's directory and click the "Select folder" button or whatever it's called

bleak zephyr
# real jacinth did you follow all of the instructions?

I just finished all of the steps and I'm still getting the same error I showed my stepdad (he's a programer) and he says that there's probably something wrong with the code or I'm missing a download/installation that I should have

fallow pilot
#

I don't want to hold your hand here. Navigate to the game folder using this window. If you don't know where that is, you can google it or search around.

fair briar
#

why not hold the hand

fallow pilot
#

I'm literally in a work meeting rn

haughty remnant
fair briar
#

then i'll hold the hand

#

ok so go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > browse local files

#

then you'll come into the folder containing Hollow knight.exe

haughty remnant
#

Yup

fair briar
#

then when you go to the modinstaller select the folder that Hollow Knigh.exe is in

#

same for @bleak zephyr

real jacinth
haughty remnant
#

Problem is I can't find the Hollow Knight files when I click to select a file path

real jacinth
bleak zephyr

I deleted the modinstaller folder and the mods folder, and opened it as admin

You have to go into common

haughty remnant
#

IT'S THERE, SORRY

real jacinth
#

that's what i said

bleak zephyr
#

I searched for "%appdata%" and deleted mod installer

haughty remnant
#

"Downloading 0MB / 0MB"
I mean, yea I can just close that since I have yet to install any mods right?

#

Nevermind

#

Api installed

fair briar
#

it was downloading the api, which is neede for all mods

haughty remnant
#

Yea, I noticed. Are there also skin like mods in there?

#

Like transtrans?

real jacinth
#

customknight

fair briar
#

transtrans is the only mod on the installer that changes enemy's

haughty remnant
#

Oh, enemies, what about customknight?

fair briar
#

the knight

bleak zephyr
#

And I deleted the mods folder

haughty remnant
fair briar
#

you'll need to download the skins yourself

fair briar
haughty remnant
#

Yup, found it

fallow pilot
#

SHIFT + Windows Key + S is a shortcut for the snipping tool. Please, please, please, stop taking photos of your monitors.

real jacinth
#

the API is a base the other mods use to run

#

nothing else is IN it

haughty remnant
#

Then should i call it mod manager the entire list?

real jacinth
#

what

fair briar
#

well there is the teamcherry logo skip in the api

haughty remnant
#

Mod Manager gave me an entire list of installable mods

#

After api got installed

#

So now I can choose which one to install

real jacinth
#

if the api is uninstalled, you'll still have the list

#

but no mods will run

#

the API is a master switch for all mods

#

the installer is just a file management program

haughty remnant
#

Well, now I gotta figure out how customknight works

bleak zephyr
#

I deleted the 2 folders I was told to and then I ran it as admin

#

and It still wont work

real jacinth
#

where is your installer exe

#

and did you do both before running the installer again

#

or did you run it in between

nimble goblet
#

I keep hearing about a new multiplayer mod, is that a thing?

real jacinth
#

HKMP, yes

nimble goblet
#

is it installed through the mod installer thing the same way?

bleak zephyr
#

Do I need to delete the mod installer?

real jacinth
#

why would you need to do that

#

nowhere in the instruction does it say to delete your installer

fair briar
#

go to github and search for HKMP

#

and you'll find it

bleak zephyr
#

why does it matter where it is though?

real jacinth
#

because it does

fair briar
#

because antivirus

real jacinth
#

file permissions

bleak zephyr
#

I dont know where it is in file explorer but I put it on my homescreen or whatever its called

real jacinth
#

?

haughty remnant
#

So now that I have installed CustomKnight

nimble goblet
#

@fair briar is it by Extremelyd1?

haughty remnant
#

How do I "mod in" a skin?

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
fair briar
#

yes

haughty remnant
#

Oke

bleak zephyr
#

I put it here

real jacinth
#

that is your desktop

#

reachable in file explorer under..... desktop

bleak zephyr
#

ok

#

thats where it is then

real jacinth
#

yes

#

learn to screenshot

#

not screen picture

#

screenshot

bleak zephyr
#

ok

fallow pilot
#

inb4 they shoot screen with gun and blame you

real jacinth
#

#

xD

real jacinth
#

y'know what.... i wouldn't even be mad

#

I'd probably laugh for 2 days straight

bleak zephyr
real jacinth
#

yes. that's where it should be

bleak zephyr
#

so whats wrong then?

real jacinth
#

you probably didn't do the steps in order

bleak zephyr
#

how do I restart

real jacinth
#

or didn't run installer as admin after

#

restart what

bleak zephyr
#

the process

real jacinth
#

you start over at 1

bleak zephyr
#

there already deleted though

real jacinth
#

then go to step 2

#

then step 3

#

then step 4

#

and congrats. you've done the process again

bleak zephyr
real jacinth
#

then you didn't do step 4

bleak zephyr
#

I did

real jacinth
#

if you did, then the modinstaller folder would be back

bleak zephyr
#

wtf

#

it just started working

#

I dont know what I did but ok

#

what does enabling modding api do?

fair briar
#

it enables the api

novel bronze
#

hehe, the modding api is needed for every mod, if you dont have it installed/enabled no mods will work

bleak zephyr
#

ok

nimble goblet
#

@fair briar I got everything installed. How would I host it through lan?

#

cause it says that's possible without hamachi

fair briar
#

just search online for "whats my ip" and you both enter that

nimble goblet
#

what about port

fair briar
#

26590

nimble goblet
#

it keeps saying connection failed when I host it and they try to connect

fair briar
#

are you 2 in the same room, connected to the same wifi?

nimble goblet
#

yeah

fair briar
#

did you enter ip6?

nimble goblet
#

im dum

#

I did ipv4

celest tinsel
#

can you mod HK if you got it with the xbox app?

fair briar

I figured it out. It was cause I was on ethernet they were on wifi, thx ruttie

obsidian shale
#

hey, I got the mod installer 2 downloaded with mods installed and enabled but am not sure about making them work now

bleak zephyr
#

the mods are messing with my saves, my randomizer run made it so that talking to iselda didnt show her inventory and I couldnt exit, I made a new game and I didnt see the knight, I was locked to the geo rock to the left of me

novel bronze
#

What do you mean with "making them work"

bleak zephyr
novel bronze
#

You need tje ones required for randomizer enabled, not just installed

obsidian shale
#

like i open the game and it runs as base game

novel bronze
#

Or trying tp use

bleak zephyr
#

im not doing a randomizer, I just have them installed

novel bronze
#

What, didn't you say you did a randomizer run

obsidian shale
#

really i only care about randomizer running

bleak zephyr
#

I loaded that save file and it wouldnt let me play normally

#

just for a test

novel bronze
#

Im sorry, i have to go now. One last thing i can say, randomizer saves only work while the randomizer mods are enabled

bleak zephyr
#

ok

#

IIt says that QoL is failing to load, I think that might be my problem

Is your game definitely inside that folder?

It obviously should be, but just double check there's not an extra folder or anything

the game refues to launch from both steam and the file, I mightve deleted something by mistake or idk cuz it was re-downloaded like 30 mins ago
Ima need to re-download it again probably
why am I so small brain\

If you install custom knight, use the mod, then uninstall it, will the custom sprites still show?

obsidian shale

I have the mod installer with randomizer 3 installed and enabled along with the other necessities but its not doing anything in game

real jacinth
#

screenshot your installer and title screen

obsidian shale
real jacinth
#

Check the pins

#

You have bench warp and no text top left

#

There's a pin for that

obsidian shale
#

there is no file of that name

real jacinth
#

then you're in the wrong place

obsidian shale
real jacinth
#

well then you must be installing your mods on a second game copy

#

cuz when the game runs with mods installed, it will generate everything at your saves spot

obsidian shale
#

I made sure there was only one instance on the computer, reset the path 5 or 6 times to be sure, uninstalled and reinstalled the game and set the path again and nothing

real jacinth

what copy is your game

from where

obsidian shale

real jacinth

have you tried using installer 1

obsidian shale

yes

real jacinth

have you tried recently?

like.... right now

obsidian shale

today yes

real jacinth

also, right click your game in steam. properties -> local files -> browse. and screenshot where that takes you

obsidian shale
real jacinth

you have 3 hard drives?

can someone link to the api

I've had an issue where attempting to place a dreamgate hardlocks my game. It will correctly fizzle out if I attempt to place a dreamgate where you can't place one, but hardlocks every time i attempt to actually place one

#

it started after i installed multiworld mod, has anyone experienced anything similar and have an idea what is causing/how to fix?

real jacinth
#

Never heard of that. You might be missing dependencies or something. What mods do you have

stray pawn
#

benchwarp, multiworldprotocol, QoL, RandoMapMod, RandomizerLib3.0, Serecore, Vasi, RandmizerMod3.0

real jacinth
#

so you're missing modcommon

#

and not sure what randomizer lib is for

#

and multiworld protocol

#

sounds like they could be conflicting with each other

stray pawn
#

accidentally moved modcommon, it works again ty

and idk if someone has ordered and color coded them

limber egret

Go to modding development and check out go dump and Sprite Packer from the pins

real jacinth

use godump and sprite packer

Those do what you need

ohhh ok

might need to restart your PC just before running the installer again

ahh

thank you

i was missing modcommon lol

real jacinth
turbid cypress
#

yeah

real jacinth
#

including resetting pc?

turbid cypress
#

yep

real jacinth
#

reset your installer then try again

#

might have to delete your entire mods folder

turbid cypress
#

i have tryed that i folowed the pined comment and its still doing it

real jacinth
#

the pinned comment isn't this error

turbid cypress
#

but it is all the things your getting me to try

real jacinth
#

for the most part, yes. in general, resetting things fixes most issues

#

your error usually has to do with vasi.zip specifically

#

or multiple instances of the installer running

#

or the installer still in downloads

turbid cypress
#

it is on my desktop and i should only have one open

real jacinth
#

I think you can press continue for this error too

and it should work

ok ill try that

pliant lantern
# pallid ridge i hit the "start rando" button and the game stops responding

Fwiw, Rando works by randomly placing all of the items, and then checking if that worked; if not, then it does it again, and it keeps doing that until it works. If you do settings that have a big limitation, then you either need to let it load for a loooong time, or you can keep trying new seeds until one doesn't take forever to load.

It took me about a dozen attempts to find a "vanilla checks, room Rando" seed that didn't need to load for over a minute.

close all instances and re-open

nothing

it used to be a thing, but didn't work very well

That's what I just did :/ I hit continue and it just didn't install it

#

Randomizer 3, right?

real jacinth
#

yes

willow girder
#

Hmmmmm

real jacinth
#

was anything else installed

willow girder
#

It downloads other mods when I hit install randomizer (Benchwarp, SereCore, and QoL)

real jacinth
#

which it should

#

what about vasi

willow girder
#

Yeah

real jacinth
#

uninstall vasi

#

then try randomizer 3 again

#

then if rando 3 is installed, put vasi back in again

willow girder
#

Vasi is put into the mods folder as a .zip, and it doesn't have an option to uninstall in the installer

real jacinth
#

delete the zip

willow girder
#

Then install randomizer?

real jacinth
#

yes

willow girder
#

It seems that it's vasi that it has trouble on, because it doesn't go to the .dll like the others do
