@gloomy coral as soon as i started the randomizer map shop had mantis and gotuner
Hi all. For the bloodorca.github.io/hollow save file editor, could someone point me to a document/page that explains what all the keys represent in the json output (or at least the significant keys)? For example,
Line 63 "beamDamage" (integer) = net damage from Grubberfly's Elegy
Line 64 "canDash" (boolean) = has Mothwing Cloak
Line ## "keyName" (data type) = description
etc.
there isn't a docs that explains it
do you want to change something specific
?
most of them have sensible/understandable names
Right, most of the keys are intuitive enough, but my inner completionist is curious to know whether I missed anything not covered by game completion percentage or reznormichael's completion analyzer.
there's alot in the game you probs missed
Like
Beyond my 112%, I'm sure I missed bits of random dialogue, a geo rock, etc. So I was wondering how to interpret those in the json output.
there are alot of values near the bottom of the file for those stuff
Why isn't the multiplayer mods working. I already did all of the steps that are in the pinned message but when I get it all set up when my friend joins, they never are actually there. Or when my friend hosts and I join its the same thing
If you can see each other in game, but nobody is moving, try having everyone close their game and start the connecting process over again. Also, Wi-Fi connections may lead to connection issues. Use hard line connections where possible.
I don't see each other in game
and i already said that i did everything thats in the pinned message
is hamachi green
did you restart the game?
what mods does everyone have
just the required ones, modcommon, multiplayer client, and multiplayer server for the host
the host also needs multiplayer client
There is a newer multiplayer mod that is more intuitive to use, but it's not currently on the installer. Here's a link for more info: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP, this is also a possibility
so your buddy starts the game, hits start server or w/e the option details, connects to themselves, then you launch the game and connect and nothing?
yeah
ok ill try that
if hamachi is green then i don't see why it not working, but try HKMP, i've had no problem with that
the steps from the pins still aply
its only a different mods, with the same steps
modcommon is no longer needed
the standalone server is not needed
apply*
its only for large groups
lol
not for 2 or 3 peeps
just the dll
ok
could somebody help me with a hollow knight all mobs reskined mod?
how much money you paying
we have a problem
actually wait
let me try something
what
I was wondering if anybody would want to help me make a hollow knight mod
no
if you want to change anything other then the knight you need code
then that means I need a coder cause I cant get unity O_O
you dont need unity
wait really
just a way to code
Oh ok ty ๐
coding can be done outside of unity
Ill try that and I guess every once in a black moon ill be back for more help
Someone
Cya, and tysm
the summoning has failed
summoning Someone
ok...
ah and....
how do I exactly summon someone
ok
kk
can you help me with making this work?
wait whats that
enemychanger.dll
yeah but how does it work
idk what that is cause I'm new to making mods but ok
when enemies load: dump spritesheets
when enemies load, but spritesheet present: replace spritesheet
can I find somebody to help me make my fire force mod?
i assume the folder to place the file in is generated in mods?
yes
how do you get a download link on mobile
yo ruttie what was the code place for me to reskin all the mobs called?
use what grenade provided
thx
ty
it has been added 
it says I need an app with it
if you use modinstaller1, it has a button 'manually install mods', click that and select the downloaded DLL file
ok ty
It worked ty ๐
now that I did that whats next?
Can you tell me what do I do now that I installed it?
- start the game, go to the enemies you want changed (that they appear in some capacity).
- this will generate files (and give freeze frames)
- to to your mods folder
- there is a folder called "SpriteChanger" with the dumped spritesheets inside
- edit those
- when done start the game again and see changed sprites

Ill do brooding mawlek cause it looks like the most simplest one to become a fire force reskined character
btw I didn't get the game from steam...
I cant find the sprite changer...
we actually do have a problem
Yo SFGrenade
for non-steam paths i'd suggest searching for "SpriteChanger" and trying the folders that pop up
either that or it says connection failed
in the modinstaller, ingame or as a folder?
hm, that's weird
So, I'm making a OneShot skin pack, and I wanna make the soul yellow. But when I looked at the sprites, I couldnt find any way to make the soul gauge yellow. I'm talking about making the soul inside of the gauge yellow
hmm
haven't heard of any mods that change the soul color
I only see stuff like edits to the full soul meter and mask health
I need help trying to make a Sprite
How does this pertain to modding
i don't think you can through custom knight, you would have to mod it yourself. beyond that, I have no clue ๐
do you mean that you want to make your own custom knight?
I can uninstall mods but I can't disable them. The Modinstaller crashes when I try to disable a mod
this is super late, but what's the status on this? been looking for a mod that does exactly this
It's in the HUD file
No like
the HUD file doesnt contain the soul sprite
unless you're talking about a folder of some sort
The soul inside the big circle?
this one?
In the top left?
they're talking about the not full soul meter
yeah
oh that one
afaik no way to change that atm
There's that one foot full soul gauge, and the individual levels on the HUD Sprite sheet
Like I can literally see them on that screenshot because they're massive
huh
They're just on the sheet
how would I go about that?
where then
I might be about to look like a fool
But I'm pretty sure I've changed it on my custom Knight
I'm sorry I can't help you with that, I don't work with code 
there's nothing for a half full soul meter
LUL
you can change the face
but that's about it
by any chance
could you look into the skin you used and take a peek at the sprites?
it doesn't require code to make a customknight
but if you want to add that functionality then you'll need to use code
I'll take a look tomorrow morning
@jovial adder this is a complete shot in the dark, but what if you changed the full soul meter on the HUD.png to a different color
honestly i feel like tamijo's right, i'm pretty sure i've seen a changed color soul meter before, but all evidence points towards not being able to do that
But Sprite Packer has this option, I'm sure of it
It might just the small soul meters and just make them bigger?
I use spritepacker
no, it doesn't
i'm pretty sure it uses like an overlay
not sure if that's the right word
but it's like a white square thing that just moves up and down depending on how much soul you have
what's this sprite called on spritepacker?
Like I say, I'll take a look. I've not used Sprite Packer for a couple of months now
They're named "Soul limiter idle", "soul limiter up" etc, I believe
Yup
There are 3 assets
"Soul limiter idle" and "soul limiter down"
and "soul limiter up"
Yeah, pretty sure those are the files you're looking for
i will test it out to see
colored the entire hud.png and there doesnt seem to be a way to change the soul's color
however, you can change the soul's color on the soul vessels (using my own skin as an example)
i might actually do a bit of research to see how to change a soul's color
Hello, Iโm confused on how to connect to other peoples games with the multiplayer mod. Can anyone help?
All I'm thinking now is that
I need to poke around in the game's code to fix it
but I'm not sure how I would start
is the pinned mod summaries up to date? because there are many mods in the installer that seem to not be there, and having to install a mod just to see the readme is a pain, and that's when the readme even says anything helpful.
multiworld rando link?
Hello i need help with the room transition tracker. this one here https://github.com/flibber-hk/RandomizerTracker My problem is that it won't reconize the transitons when I am using the translator.
Read the readmes docs
is the Easy mode mod fixed :o?
so randomizer loads great, we are ttrying to do multiworld, We can see each other in the "lobby", but its not letting us start. It will let me start a non multiworld tho
hello! I am working on a mod for my friend. He wants me to replace sprites for traitor lord with another sprite sheet I made. But, we cannot find his battle sprites. I do not know much on hk but I really want to help a friend who loves this game
told you yesterday :o!
at least this is happening
when i die in the game the screen goes black with a loading icon and i can't revive <-
i mean unless you tell the mod maker directly, its not gonna magically get fixed
sad times :o!
no one? 
I need help-Whenever I try to do a room randomizer, it infinitely duplicates all enemies in the room of any boss I come across. I haven't tried it with any other randomizer on their on though so they might do that to.
you'll have better luck in the morning/afternoon
and don't be annoying about it, but I find replying to your own comment every 24 hours gets a greater chance of getting help
my problem is almost solved, just waiting for a modder to answer my request about a mod for removing backgrounds
had to keep at it, but nearly there
Did all of the players "lock in" (click the greyed out button)? IIRC, you can't "Start" until all players in the lobby do that.
What are all of the mods you're using? Room Rando shouldn't do that O.o
benchwarp, QoL, Debug, Enemy Randomizer, Room+ Item Randomizer, ModCommon and Vasi or witchever QoL Needs
It's not enemy because I disabled that and it still happened
and iv'e done all the others on their own and it still hasn't happened
It doesnt delete stuff, but just place an additional "blanker" in front of the background
#archived-modding-help message I am still woundering if anyone can help me?
Hi just looking if anyone has any files for the baby hornet skin and the Pure vessel skin!
#modding-discussion pins
is there a mod that lets me ||to fight bosses in hall of gods in the PoH arena but without having to take double damage and without having more max HP to the boss?||
you dont need to spoiler
ehm maybe easier p5 practice does that
you'd need to ask mulhima tho
hello, until yesterday I was a crack player and I bought the game from steam, but I can't relocate mod launcher now and it stuck like this
can I ask for help?
ty
as ruttie said theres a mod easier p5 practice that does that. its in the installer
Thanks

Hello ?
hi
sorry for the inconvenience, i'm trying to figure out how to set up a mode, i'm french so i'm having a little trouble with what to do. If I understood correctly you have to download the radiance mod and the windows zip, are there other things to do?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
okay, thank you !
F July
ok
I was ment to be only f
its like no one really talks about or helps with multiworld in here or other channels. I went back in the chat history (in many channels) and people who ask are often ignored or there isnt any links...
because nobody knows
we have 0 knowledge on multiworld
its used by like 3 people
its not on the installer
ok i found useful info from Jamie in February, still tho ...
easier p5 practise is also used by just 3 people
we (exept mulhima) also have no knowledge on it
we want to help
but we cant
poop
its mulhima
no
you can click on someones pfp
ok multiworld is working, not sure what changed but here is the link https://github.com/CallumMoseley/HollowKnight.RandomizerMod
do I have to go into the global settings file?
I've got the blindradiance mod working
but my system doesn't know what application to open it with
(don't @ me)
and you can open the globalsettings.json with notepad, or any other text editing software
in #modding-discussion he responded to my comment about that, said he prob wouldn't have seen it if I didn't ping so
ah okay
then you @ me 
theres an option to not do a ping reply you know?
and i would have seen it
hey, by mistake i binded kill self to mouse0 and now i cant do anything, anyone knows a way to solve it? tried removing my debug mod files and replacing them but the binds continue the same
sorry man, I don't know much people here 
dw i wont get mad over ping
you go to pins and then with the loading help pin theres also a debug fix
^
thanks i'll read that
I'm assuming this isn't right
not the dll
you asked for
global settings file?
the globalsettings files are in saves

The dll is just installed with either modinstaller1's "manually install mods" button or manually put into the mods folder.
Then just start the game and close it after reaching the main menu.
Then go to your save files, find "BlindRadiance.Globalsettings.json" and open it with any text editor (e.g. Notepad).
Add the scenes you want in a list there.
Save and start the game.
it worked thanks for pointing me to the right direction
okay I'll try that
I may have a few typos in there, i hate typung on mobile
hollow knight keeps bouncing but not opening, prolly cause i used to have mods installed. what files do i have to delete to get hollow knight to work again?
as such, uninstalling mods
hmm
don't see BlindRadiance.Globalsettings.json
hm
1 sec, i think the version that i uploaded here doesn't have the globalsetting stuff in it lol
hm, just checked, the version on the modinstaller should generate the globalsettings file
did you restart your game after installing the mod?
don't think so, give a sec
well I started the game
I see indication that the mod is installed on top left, along with modcommon and customknight
ok, then it in theory should have created the settings file
I don't see any globalsettings file for customknight either so
hm, that is weird
is windows hiding certain extensions?
but that wouldn't make sense, I already see json
for other files
maybe try pressing f5 or going one folder up and back into the saves folder, maybe just file explorer not updating
nothing :\
I know the mod works
checked hornet 2 in godhome
dark background
weird that only modcommon has a json file
nothing for the other 2 mods I have
gonna test it myself now, also don't have the settings file atm
aight
did get created for me, i could make changes that it already includes every scene if you want then upload it here
if you could do so that would be very kind of you
just for traitor lord and nailsage sly
only two arenas that give me framedrops
all scenes
anybody know if the multiplayer mod has any downsides?
awesome, thanks so much!
any way to get mods on mac?
Download QoL mod
Lag ig
could i just turn the resolution down?
also how exactly does it work
does it make bosses harder?
nvm i found that we can edit the json file
excuse me for bothering again but I had clicked remove the poster from the debug mod so I could play without having it on the screen and since I can't see it anymore, I tried to install and uninstall it but it doesn't change anything, anyone have any idea?
Not that type of lag
hmm?
No
so you could just speed through the game with 5 people or something
if so sounds fun lol
Lag from transfering the data from the other person's computer to yours
what if they live in the same house as me
Still it won't be as smooth as playing by your self
ok
imma beat the game first and then play with my bro
:)
oh wait i have a mac, would i still be able to get it
the mod
i bet this would make for some really fun scenarios
everybody uses the ||fluke swarm charm|| lol
the mod should work on mac too
I am not sure but I've heard reports of it working on mac
ok :)
Anyone know who to make the menu of the debug mod reappear in the games?
f1
Thank you

the one in hamachi
when I boot up HK, the top left mod list says that BingoUI, PalatteSwapper, and QoL failed to load
I have my ModLog, but I don't know what to do from there
do you have vasi?
yes
ok send modlog
Bingo UI also doesn't need item changer, though
[INFO]:[API] - Couldn't resolve assembly ItemChanger, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, with sender Unity Root Domain
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
does bingoUI need plando/do you have plando?
how do i turn on the debug ui if i turned it off accidentally
thx
I installed ItemChanger, and it didn't do anything. I also don't have Plando
ok
its wierd, the modlog gives a NRE, but i cant see what file it needs
both for QoL and PaletteSwapper
worst case scenario, I'll delete and reinstall mods and all
have you tried disabling all mods exept the mods in question and their dependencies?
QoL- vasi
BingoUI - SereCore, ModCommon
PaletteSwapper - nothing
gtg
okay thank you for your help :)
back
try this
Is here a keybind in debug that sets nail damage back to default
no
rip guess i'll uninstall it for now
in the big menu on the left you can see your current nail damage
uninstalling wont help
oh
you can search how much damage a nailupgrade does and go down until the big menu on the left has the same vaulue as the wiki says
im doing runs and have like double damage for some reason so kinda need to turn that off

Can somebody help me get rid of the white box around my custom knight skin
Idk what to do...
did you make it or download it
then where from
SteamUnlock
so do I use GODump?
it gives a red box that is edit space
kk
as long as you remain in that adit space you should be fine
i addedit to the readme doc thats pinned
kk
I cant find it...
nvm
So Ruttie I went over the doc but I couldn't find GODump
Found it
ty
now what do I do with it?
I have sprite packer and Godump how do I get the sprites?
Btw Ruttie I went to find the sprites folder in Team cherry folder
I don't got sprites for some reason...
Can somebody please help me
We donโt help pirating though
Why is it pirating?
... I'm confused
Let me find mickelyโs old photo...
ok
and I ain't probably getting hollow knight from steam untill christmas..
well time to wait for Chrismas ;w;
Thats not a good thing to be talking about in the official hollow knight server
true
Can some here help me plz I'm trying to run the modinstaller from the link i got here but it wont work i have pic of the message it gives me if that helps
send it here
there are kids who dont have a way of paying for online content, and whose parents dont want to buy them games.
Thats still literal theft
what happens if you click continue?
why? it shouldnt kill your pc
Ok didnt think to check pins
you need to update your OS and/or download a more recent .net framework
I installed exhaltation, and all the charms glorify, but I cant get glowing womb to become primal womb, ive tried repeating PoA and ive tried sheo in HoG on all 3 fights but glowing womb is the only glorified charm that wont upgrade.
you could play assassin's creed 4 instead
Oh ok
Two questions. I installed Redwing and it seems to give me infinite soul. That's a bug, right? Also, how do I enable the hard mode for Redwing? The settings file doesn't seem to have it.
Also in exhaltation nailsage tenacity wont change to the other form when i beat ascended sly, are there any conflicts with exhaltation i should know of like grimmchild upgrades or qol or something?
Got the mod installer work im using mod installer2 from the pinned messages and work awesome
I keep getting a crash report when I use mod installer 2 and it says avalonia application quit unexpectedly and that thread 0 was the one that crashed and it goes on to go through this code
does anyone know how to fix it?
what mods did you have installed, when does it crash, can you drop the modlog.txt
Does anyone know why when using HKMP when I connect the connect button is gone and never reappears?
i just opened the installer and chose the hollow knight file path. I have no mods installed yet.
oh i see, where is modinstaler 2 at? like, is it in your downloads or
idk ill check
i believe that means it's trying to connect but can't
but why cant it
yes it is in the downloads
drag it to your desktop and try it there
ok
closed port / bad connection / unstable connection / if using a software it might not be connecting properly
Oh! Erm- I've been meaning to ask this but I forgot-
There's a glitch with DebugMod- I go into the False Knight room, right? And when I go into the arena, the husks multiply endlessly for some reason and in the room after it, the layout is jumbled so much that I can't proceed.

Alright, thanks. I'll try that.
can try this #archived-modding-help message
i tried doing a randomizer
you are missing a dependency
so what do i have to delete?
make sure you have modcommon, benchwarp, qol, vasi, serecore

when i look it up in finder it doesn't show up
Whenever I join a multiplayer game my nail doesnt deal damage or break walls, the only thing it does is cut grass, help please?
On top press on file and then press go to file or something like that
you probably set the nail dmg to 0 on debug mod
debug mods disabled
was it enabled before?
debug changes values in your save file. it being disabled after the changes are made means nothing
start a new save and see if you have the same issue
Doesn't work :/
Ask google
ok
am i supposed to delete it inside of the mod installer or in computer downloads or what?
i need a custom knight installation tutorial thank you
check the pins
ok nvm i see it thanks mick
i tried deleting it and redownloading it now it won't even let me open it without it crashing
can i use save states in Pantheons?
or will it break
im assuming by the reaction that i can't
thanks
There isn't anything stopping you
But loading the state would place you at the start of the Pantheon
Put on desktop, right click and click on open package contents then open the application named modinstaller
i have no idea what i did but i did something and i think its working!
thank you and all the other people who helped me!
Might anyone know why I canโt get the hud 1 to work for the GrimmKnight skin?
Not without context
does the rest of the skin work, and is the HUD default or something else?
it may be that the HUD is not in the GrimmKnight file, or that something is overriding it
I'm having a problem with the mod installer; the mods work normally, but whenever I open up the modinstaller I think it crashes? because it just doesn't open properly, just the flash of a window and it's gone.
unsure how to fix.
edit: seems to be working now, I deleted the exe and replaced with the newest one
How do you get the Dumb Radiance Mod?
Indeed literally everything works except the hud 1 and possibly different spells idk I havenโt tried those yet
Idk how much context I can really give I installed mod installer then custom knight and stuck the grimmknight skin in and it works fine except I canโt change from hud 2 to hud 1 it either works with hud 2 or doesnโt with hud 1 and goes default
I think you can just re name files to swap them
yeah just checked
wdym can't change from hud 2 to hud 1
GrimmKnight has 2 different hud options, and I guess they wanted to use "HUD2"
the mod will only "load" the png named HUD
I'm back at it again with my annoying questions about gg scenes 
so framerate worked fine at first for traitor lord
but as I did practice runs, framerate started slowing again...
so now I'm thinking of deleting individual elements like flowers and stuff
what mods are you using
uh
cuz your framrate might be cuz of one
I have customknight, blindradiance, and enemyhp
don't think that's the problem, as framerate is fine for everything else except traitor lord and sly
but I do appreciate your help
right
compared to thing like uumuu
I got a tip to try and modify the transtrans dll file to delete the gameObjects I want
like sly's candles and whatnot
what sort of program should I use to do so?
would just visual studio do the job?
Oh cool Iโll check it out and get back to you if it still doesnโt work for some reason
So im playing Hollow Knight since 2 month now and i wanted to download the mod installer so i could use skins but it isn't working what should i do
What about CoF? That has a ton of moving bg elements
my toaster laptop also struggles to run that
only did second trial for the pale ore
or else I wouldn't have bothered
.
a mod that removes background elements?
kind of like yours, but I can manually select what gameObjects to delete
I heard modifying the transtrans dll could possibly work

generic version that deletes anything in the background, adds a new option to the globalsettings file called RemoveBackground, set the value to true (take the capitalization from the false value, idk how it is) and the background elements will be removed
I'd prob have to be able to edit the dll right
sorry I'm basically new to this stuff ๐
no, just overrite the mod you already have with this version, start the game, close the game, go to saves, edit the globalsettings file, save it, start the game, enjoy backgroundless things
alright, I'll get steam up
hey, I just tried to update my modinstaller and my mods since I havent played in awhile. When trying to update the BingoUI I get a .NET Framework error https://pastebin.com/hM5UBKwV

looks like the background got put back on :/
thx grenade that helped
it started modinstaller buggy, so I uninstalled and installed blindradiance again
might have to do with the globalsettings file being from the previous dll
not updating or something
changing to true just put the background back 
Maybe just delete everything related to blind radiance and redownload it
weird, i explicitly destroy everything ๐ค
wait nvm
i was pepega
this destroys the things
man feels like nothing is working
base dll works as intended, but something with the new one isn't changing anything
if RemoveBackground is set to true, it doesn't make the blurplane dark, but deletes everything that would be behind the blurplane
so in theory it should have the same result, just while in the rooms it should be more cpu friendly
oh, nothing changes visually?
the comparison of false and true should be nothing aside from FPS (and if it's true the thing yeets all background in all scenes, not just the ones you entered)
hmm
there appears to be a difference
still wildly fluctuating fps, but it's around 50 now
so I think it's better??
idk if this deserves to be in modding help or not but is there a way to make a duplicate of my saves?

if i rename the file will the duplicate display seperately ingame?
Probably ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
if you rename it correctly yes
perfect thank you :)
where do i find the mod manager file?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
like yknow after i downloaded and installed the modinstaller it opened the mod manager, now its closed wheres the file?
probably in the downloads folder
do i click the installer again?
yes
To be clear- "Mod Installer" in the name of the mod manager. It's not a program installer- it doesn't install a different program. If you leave the file in Downloads, then you'll always need to launch it from there, but that can cause issues. It's recommended to move it to Desktop (or at least a different place than Downloads)
how do you use the skin mod on modinstaller for mac?
it should be the same as windows I think. if it is, it will be in the hollow knight mods folder and there will be a folder there to put skins in
For macs:
CustomKnight skins go here:
.. Hollow Knight -> hollow_knight.app -> content -> data-> managed mods
Other than the Mac path being slightly different, this is what the structure should be (there can't be extra folders):
it doesn't go past the hollow knight folder for me
You have to right click on "hollow_knight.app"
and click "Show contents" or something like that
ok, now there is nothing in managed
Have you used the mod installer at least once?
yea
Ah ||Right, that makes sense, on account of the mods being in the resources folder...||
So I have to name a folder inside managed called Mods and then put it in
like this
I downloaded mods in the modinstaller and they all went to the Save Files Path, do I just move them to the mods folder
what
The Mod installer would have put the mods here:
Mod .dll files go here:
.. Hollow Knight -> hollow_knight.app -> content -> resources -> data -> managed -> mods
Well it sent them here and it the mods work
There aren't mods there
^
so... no it didn't?
settings files aren't mod files
well... i mean they are. but they're not the actual mods
ok, I mistook them for mods because I didn't find the mods anywhere else
I'll find where they are
well you just learned how to open your game app 2 minutes ago
wait there were two managed folders, one of them was empty and the other had the mods in it
wierd
ok thanks

How would I find a ReadMe using modinstaller 2? They don't appear to be with the save files. There are some with the mods themselves (TestofTeamwork and Enemyhpbar) and some in the Hollow Knight folder with the .exe (benchwarp, modding API, Ultimatum Radiance, Vasi, WeaverCore), but I can't seem to find the one for Hollow Point (which I did download and disable). I'm not sure where else to look.

Hi, trying to make a server. I have both Multiplayer mods installed (as well as the mod common etc) but it's not very obvious how to make a server
Any help would be greatly appreciated
idk how to help you man
Check fireborns video
okie
if I were to modify a dll file, how would I go about doing so?
do you want to edit a mod or the game's code?
you may have better luck with mod making questions in #archived-modding-development
if a mod it would be easier to download the source code and edit that
it's the transtrans mod
the extension appears to be .cs
all mods are .cs
.cs = csharp
make a new c# project and copy paste the code from that into the project
I feel like it's assumed that everyone here has modding tools 
just download visual studio
I've done a bit of beginning java and c++ programming, but nothing like this
visual studio?
alright
or jetbrains rider, any c sharp ide
idk what you mean by this
why did i say c sharp instead of c#
yea
its free and it works
make sure you select c# class library in NET framework 3.5
also to get NET framework 3.5 on VS i had to enable it from windows features
https://windowsreport.com/net-framework-3-5-missing-windows-10/
I see
make a new c# project, like I sorta understand what that means but VS isn't exactly something casuals like me have on their desktop ๐
I hope I'm not sounding like a brat, cuz I'm really grateful for y'all taking time out of your day to help us
for now, just make a c# class library in NET framework 3.5, copy the code and complie it.
the community edition of VS should suffice, correct?
yes
then do this
and in inidvisual components download NET 3.5 framework developement tools
what do you want to do with transtrans?
can you break them with your nail?
doing the process
sorry that's what I meant
i was just making sure you didn't download the repair tool that was linked on top of the page
did you do this #archived-modding-help message
very sure I did
oh wait
didn't know filled did not equal checked 
are you kidding me
still not there
gonna try restarting pc to see if that does anything
still not there
gosh darn
wait a gosh darn second
I'm not sure if I did it or not
this is what it should look like
oh my gosh...
so this was wrong
I was going through so many forums wondering what the heck was my problem
man screw microsoft lmao
so easy to mix the two up
at last
now comes the fun part
hello
so I was wondering if I could get some help
so I got the modinstaller for mac and I wanted to use a custom knight skin
However on the mod installer there is no place to upload the mod and I was wondering if it was possible to use the skin I want
A guide that explains how to install the CustomKnight mod and add your very own custom sprites to the game!
ModInstaller: https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe
CustomKnight Skins: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VlXmvI6KT2vzsGItY2w3rHjeCFx8DN0n
CustomKnight Skins (The White Palace Group): https://drive.google.com/open?id=16BUDS5e4_5eRI...
possible starting place?
ok
and you can use custom skins that the community already created
if that's a thing you're interested in
instead of making your own, cuz it's quite a task 
Ik i found a skin I like
im sure XD
nice, I'm a big fan of grimm knight myself
try
do I download and open in VS
look at the video to see how to install it. Everything is the same except the path.
^^example of correct mac skin location
its a dll file so no
you add in mods folder
wait so did I need to have VS in the first place? ๐
i mean you only told me about it after you asked how to install vs
well looking back in chat, HooKnows suggested using VS, and I was like, "sweet, might as well get down in the trenches"
Im not seeing the skin rn
did you install customknight from modinstaller already

oh what am I doing, I don't need to go to saves folder
ok attempt #3
hellu there i have some questions :
i only want mod in one fight so it'll be okay?
noice
hmm, it appears HK sees it but the change doesn't happen
hey chris
yes
i want unlimited health so which mod should i install??
and do i have to restart game?
debug
debug mod?
did you fight sly??
yosh
...
probably
which path do i have to choose the save path or other?
chrissssssssssssss
mulhima
try 2
patience man, we're here
yes sir
don't think you have to go to saves file?? should be as easy as opening modinstaller and installing debug mod
well...i dint get what you said just say which path :/
yes i just did
was trying to show you but then this happened
ufffffffffff
nice
so looks like it didn't work for some reason but
my reasoning is because it's clashing with another mod I have dealing with sly's arena too
how long did you wait in slys arena?
wait for atleast the boss scream to finish
open debug?
I think you just have to pause?
f1 key
: O
lol now you know
screenshot the screen
dunno if the blindradiance mod is messing with anything
as it has some extra code added for traitor lord
weird
quitting to the main menu gives title, but all options are gone
do I have the dll in the right place
yes
hmm
WAIT A SEC
IT WORKS NOW??
why
why must my toaster be like this
but
it might've had something to do with the funky blindradiance mod and me messing with it
I uninstalled just for heck to see if it would solve anything
also fixed main menu options missing after quitting
actually I just tried a second ago with the second version, and it works now
much better
oh
oh wow
thank you so much man, for sticking with my annoying ass for almost 3 hours 
np
nope
oh?
what do you guys use VS for then
well I know that lol
so dnspy uh
forgive me if I use the term wrong
decompiles or something?
dnspy is a code viewer
VS is a code writer
that's a gross oversimplification
but it works i guess
I thought decompile was the wrong word to use anyway
