seeing I'm not even sure what it means

#

something with compilers ig

real jacinth
#

compile -> put all the code into one nice package

#

decompile -> remove from package

undone vault
#

I see

#

just trying to learn the vocab

#

I don't plan on becoming a programmer, but wouldn't hurt to know

untold elm
#

hey so i have the pirated version of the game (i know shame on me i already have it on playstation and only pirated it to complete path of pain) can i use mods on it?

fickle parrot
#

no'

#

if you want mods but the game from steam or GOG

neon marten
untold elm
#

So i was gonna use the debug mod

neon marten
#

The path of pain is meant to be even harder

untold elm
#

Ik

undone vault
#

we're in really grey territory here

#

probably straight up in black lmao

#

even if it were possible, none of the mods would tell you

#

because well

#

it's pirated

neon marten

👍

novel bronze
#

Yay it worked Thanks 😄

neon marten
#

No problem

neon marten
# neon marten Did you pirate it?

@novel bronze I asked this question because I encountered quite a lot of pirates lately. Not because I thought that you pirated the game

#

Just so you know

novel bronze
#

Ok

#

Pirate hollow knight is 10x worse than any other game how could you get a masterpiece for free

#

and free dlcs

neon marten
#

i agree

novel bronze
#

we dont deserve team cherry

#

😩

neon marten
#

My general rule of thumb is that a game is worth it when you have the same amount of hours played as the amount of euros you paid. I have played this game of around 90 hours. That is 6 times the worth

novel bronze
#

I have 200 hourspikaknight It was definitley worth 14:99

fading ocean
novel bronze
#

you did actually buy the game right?

fading ocean
#

..yeah

novel bronze
#

ok that is very strange, did you also reset the modinstaller?

fading ocean
#

sorry if you can't understand the language but this should be enough proof

novel bronze
#

dont get me wrong, i didnt try to attack you or anything, i just have to ask this, piracy happens pretty often sadly

#

have you tried modinstaller 2?

fading ocean
#

yeah ik don't worry about it

fading ocean
novel bronze
#

should be in the pins

fair briar
#

hello

fading ocean
#

lemme check

fair briar
#

just reset the installer

#

i'll give a option to select the path when you reset it

novel bronze
#

did you just redownload it or did you do this blackdragon?

#

lets hope i turned the ping offgrublaugh

fading ocean
#

i just redownloaded it, i'm trying to reset it now lmfao

#

yeah it worked, thanks

Any1 know why only scarlet crisis updates my skin

real jacinth
#

Their file structures probably aren't right then

crude karma
#

hey

#

so my friend and I are playing with multiplayer mod

#

but the bosses aren't synced

#

so his bosses are diffrent from mine

#

does anybody know how to fix this?

#

because we can see each other but the things we fight are different

gloomy coral
crude karma
#

but like in YT videos aren't the bosses in sync?

#

or are they just different?

gloomy coral
#

which YT video?

crude karma
#

the ones which has like multiplayer

west bane
#

that's normal

crude karma
#

isnt it possible to fight the same boss?

west bane
#

no

crude karma
#

ah I see

gloomy coral
#

you can hit the boss of the other player but you can't see them and it isn't synced

west bane
#

however, nail strikes carry across

weak viper
#

they just extracted from the file weird

#

so i redid it

crude karma
#

thank you

west bane
#

e.g. on brooding mawlek you can just swing wildly in the middle and youll hit your friends boss plenty, but it wont be in your world

crude karma

#

Hi, first time modding, got this error. Any clue what I did wrong and how to fix it?

#

ah nevermind

#

read pins

warm moat
#

ok nevermind but again because I get that error any time I try to install Vasi

real jacinth
#

With this exact error wording? Or does it say something else about license

warm moat
#

I think it may have mentioned that initially, but any time I try to reopen the installer it shows that error

real jacinth
#

What error

#

The error wording is pretty important

warm moat
#

This one pops up after I try to reopen the installer

#

Currently resetting the installer

real jacinth
#

Did you do all of the steps from the pinned message? Or only some

warm moat
#

This is the error that appears if I try to install Vasi

real jacinth
#

so yes, what i said about license

#

press win+r

#

type in %tmp%

#

press enter

#

and delete everything in that folder

#

then try again

#

are there any incompatibilities between exaltation and any things like qol or uhkp? because those are basically all im using and i can't get glowing womb to glorify to primal womb, and nailmaster's glory only becomes tenacity and i can't get it to swap to sagesoul. every other charm glorified correctly. but those two things are missing

#

im using:
additional maps, benchwarp, custom knight, debug, enemy rando, enemy hp bar, exaltation, fragile strength for nail arts, modcommon, qol, randomizer 3, serecore, sfcore, unofficial patch, and vasi. currently the 2 randos, benchwarp, and debug are disabled. only exaltation affects charms, so i can't imagine what could be causing exultation to act like this, and its most recent patch notes don't make any mention of changing or removing any of these things

#

could i be missing something for the functionality? is there a conflict with one of these things possibly?

warm moat

#

Sorry if this was asked before but I can't seem to find the answer. I installed mutliworld and since then my maps are not working properly. It shows item in logic when it is not yet... I am unsure if and how to fix it.

hi i tried to use debug mod but hollow knight tels me that failed to load check modlog

yeah i did a multi with Anny and our RandoMapMod was hella borked. is there a fix to this, or is that just how it is with multi?

pliant lantern
# azure needle yeah i did a multi with Anny and our RandoMapMod was hella borked. is there a fi...

The RandoMapMod that's on the installer is not compatible with MultiWorld. There's a testing version that is. I'll try to find a link really quick.

Edit: This should be it
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/837547403258626088/RandoMapMod.dll

Edit2: Some important info about the new one is that it has Hotkeys-

Ctrl + M to get all the maps! (Skip Elderbug)

Ctrl + G to hide/show the Helper Pins for Grubs and Essence if you don't have them randomized

Ctrl + P to hide/show ALL the pins so you can use it selectively to train back better!

azure needle
#

thank you! we will try that out!

pliant lantern
dusk salmon

and do I put that folder in the HK one for the mod?

pliant lantern

It should be similar to this:

on the title screen there is a message in the corner that a mod dll couldnt load, in the modlog i see [ERROR]:[API] - Error: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IteratorStateMachineAttribute' from assembly 'Exaltation'. however as far as i can tell the mod works just fine, is there anything i should be concerned over? is there anything i can do to remove this message on the title screen?

gloomy coral
#

You can delete unofficial hollow knight patch it doesn't do anything

#

If it works then there shouldn't be a problem ig

royal forge
#

i got this version of exaltation from github, because as far as i can tell the version in the modinstaller is not the most recent version of it, or atleast it has different functionality than the github one i grabbed. or atleast it doesnt match with the changelog for the mod on the github

pliant lantern
#

Did you possibly install two different versions of it at the same time? IIRC, one of the ways a mod can be listed twice, like yours is, is because two copies of it are in the Mods folder, with different names

gloomy coral
#

If a mod failed to load it's shows up twice

royal forge
#

Like i said, it does seem to work just fine as far as i can tell, im currently making sure all the mods work before i do any long term playthroughs with them, on that note, anyone with additional maps installed know where the white palace one is? I cant seem to find it

silver gulch
#

I have a problem where whenever I play with mods, both false knight and crystal guardian (Non-Godhome) continuously duplicate for some reason, until it lags, and then my world goes wierd. I can't play randomisers because of it so I would really like some help. It seems to be with any mod. I'm not sure.

#

we can't find it in the google drive folder

#

No I don't use randomizer

debug mod?

haughty quiver
vocal sedge

that might be it then

haughty quiver
#

Hmm

#

Anyway to get rid of it?

vocal sedge

uhh probably in the debug mod UI somewhere

I guess it doesn't cause any trouble

Which multiplayer mod has the custom knight compatability?

Which link had that good one

fair briar
#

HKMP

still glen
#

Yes!! Thank you!

#

Do I need to download anything along with that?

fair briar
#

nope

#

modcommon was removed

still glen
#

:D

sterile flicker
#

okay, so it isnt working, my cast is also my focus?

sterile flicker
#

i am..

#

i have everything installed

fair briar
#

ok did you just make a save and test it on that, or did you read the readme properly?

sterile flicker
#

Yes, I did i re-read the readme twice and I did make a new save

#

._.

fair briar
#

then you didn't read the readme properly

sterile flicker
#

Bruh

fair briar
#

"This mod does not work on a new save"

sterile flicker
#

im blind then

still glen
#

One more question, do I have to put the files in any specific folder? Also, I grabbed the .exe and .dll

fair briar
#

oh the .exe is probably not needed

still glen
#

okay I'll delete that one

sterile flicker
#

so would i just leave the new save and reload it up

fair briar
#

its only for if you want to let people play without having the game open

still glen
#

I probably do want that cuz my internet suck

fair briar
#

the multiplayer procedure is the same as the old one but with a different mod

#

so whats in pins still works

still glen
#

wait with hamachi and stuff?

fair briar
#

ye

still glen
#

alright thankyou

fair briar
#

np

still glen
#

do I have to put the .dll file in a mods folder or anything

#

or leave it on desktop

teal jungle
#

i remember there being godmode in the mod launcher, was that removed or am i just imagining things

fair briar

it has a readme

also do we still need the multiplayer client from the normal mod download app

teal jungle

it has invincibility

fair briar
still glen
#

okay, gonna give this a try

#

How do I use my custom knight skin in the mod?

#

I've got the game open and my list of skins appears on the left

#

Also what do we do for port?

fair briar
#

the readme has all information

#

you dont need customknight iirc

still glen
#

?

#

Also there wasn't a read me

fair briar
brave dagger
fair briar
still glen
#

Yea it doesn't work

fair briar
#

like i said no customknight

still glen
#

How do I make it work

#

Do I have to turn off custom knight or something

still glen
#

Confuse

fair briar
#

ohno that link doesnt work

still glen
#

Giving it a try again

#

I'm confused again

#

I did the read.me but the skins don't seem to be working

#

Do the folders for each skin need to be named certain things

fair briar
#

the name of the folder that contains the png's doesnt matter

still glen
#

Then that's weird

fair briar
#

did you run the game once with the skins?

#

you swap skins with the 1, 2, 3, 4 etc keys

still glen
#

Keys?

#

And yea?

fair briar
#

the buttons at the top of your keyboard

still glen
#

I go to player skin ID

#

But it doesn't change anything

#

When I do 1 or 2 or 3 and click apply skin nothing happens

fair briar
#

you see the id.txt right?

still glen
#

No?

fair briar
#

then screenshot where you placed the skins

still glen
#

They're in steam>steamapps>common>Hollow Knight>hollow_knight_data>Managed>mods

#

Then HKMP>skins

fair briar
#

ok

#

in skins there is a folder with the name of you skin right?

sterile flicker
#

ruttie for mod

still glen
#

Yea

fair briar
#

mulhima for mod

#

but it should be: HKMP -> skins -> "folder with skinname" -> png's

#

after running the game once there should also be a id.txt

still glen
#

Yeah that's how I have it

#

Should I leave and come back then?

#

Like close game 100% or

fair briar
#

close the game 100%

still glen
#

Ok

#

Ok it worked! But my friend can't see my skin

#

How do I make it so they see it too?

fair briar
#

hmm

#

do they also have the skin installed?

still glen
#

Not the same one, do we both need the skin?

#

If we both have the file will it work

fair briar
#

ye

still glen
#

Ooooh

#

Also one skin with lots of pngs didn't work

fair briar
#

you and your friends skin files need to be the same including id.txt

still glen
#

The angel skin

fair briar
still glen
#

Oh ok so I delete the rest and it'll work?

fair briar
#

i hope 👀

#

every time you add a skin you do need to restart hk

still glen
#

You should be able to.

If you're on Windows, you may want to try the main mod installer. I'm unsure why 2 is having an issue for you. Worse vibes to worse, yours just need to reset it though, which isn't too difficult.

okay, ill probably just verify integrity whenever i want to play the base game. Thank you

hey i downloaded the mod installer and it worked for a bit, but now whenever i try and open it i just get this.

does anyone know how i could fix this?

What error are you getting?

proven bramble

its not even an error

#

im opening it like i always have and i just get a white screen with that in the upper left corner

#

does hollow point not play well with custom knight? I can't get them to work at the same time

#

every time I try to load a skin it blanks out and just uses a white box

pliant lantern
#

Although, if you're getting a white box, you might also be missing ModCommon

ocean shard
#

nah, I'm sure it's just them being overwritten. It's not a huge deal, just needed to know it's interacting that way

#

Also is there any where to keep up with new custom knight skins? I know a few that weren't added to any of the google drives in the pins

Is this the right channel to ask questions about the contents of a mod?

native ice
#

That doesn't really answer my questions as far as I can tell

real jacinth
#

you didn't ask a question

#

mod summaries says what mods do

#

if you have an actual question, ask it

#

asking to ask a question is a waste

native ice
#

Well I guess I'll just ask my questions and you can tell me if it's the right channel then: I just downloaded the 'Redwing' mod and I noticed that spikes and acid don't seem to damage me sometimes is this normal? I also don't know how to use any of the abilities, is there a guide or anything? I couldn't find anything in the readme

real jacinth
#

the abilities are caused by normal abilities

#

like spells, dash, healing, etc

native ice
#

Ah okay thank you

real jacinth
#

nail arts

#

not getting hurt sounds like you have another mod on

native ice
#

It's only with terrain hazards and it seems like they hurt sometimes but only when jumping out of them, landing on them just doesn't do anything. Don't have anything that would explicitly make me invincible

real jacinth
#

do you have a charm that does that

native ice
#

Only fury of the fallen, just started. I'll just ignore it, thanks for answering

I have a strange story. After installing Mod Installer the focus became 2 times faster and 2 times more economical on my save. Only on 1 save.The version is not steam, so I could not roll back, but with a clean new version, the focus is still broken on this save.

limber egret
#

Read the readme for Hollow Point

fair briar
#

did you use hollow point?

fair briar
limber egret
#

Because it tells you that you need to make a new save while using Hollow Point

fair briar
#

i dont recall it having a fix and pins has a waay easier fix

limber egret
#

Encouraging people to read instructions is good so that in future they don't have these problems in the first place.

#

Or else you just end up coming back asking for fixes that could've been avoided.

fair briar
#

the hollow point fast heal problem cannot be avoided

limber egret
#

It can by not opening save files you shouldn't

fair briar
#

but if you dont open a save then you cant play

#

so there will always be 1 save affected

limber egret
#

If you open your old save file you don't want to have changed by a mod, it will be changed by the mod.

serene timber
#

can i fix my save?

limber egret
#

Reading instructions so that you know how mods work is very good. Hollow Point literally says "Read the ReadMe" in the name.

#

Check the pins for Hollow Point fixes

Hollow Point is an unfinished mod that adds a gun, grenade launcher, airstrikes, and more to the game. The majority of the game's charms are also modified to work with the gun and abilities. Shoutouts to TTaco and Mino for developing the mod.

There's a few fixes.

  • Try having your controller disconnected when launching the game, then connecting it when you get to the main menu

  • if that doesn't work, try either using Steam's big picture Mode to use the "Forced Controller" option that will be in the Hollow Knight properties (I think it's available on Mac), or use a program such as Joy2Key to rebind controller inputs to keyboard ones.

did you follow the pinned procedure for it?

pliant lantern
# rustic junco yeah I disabled it

Also, in order to ensure that all mods are working, and get help troubleshooting here, you do have to have either the Steam copy of Hollow Knight, or the GOG version. Other versions are not compatible with most mods, and we can't give any advice on fixing those versions.

You can keep an eye on this site for a sale on a compatible version: https://isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=hollow+knight (note that many sites like Humble Bundle sell the games on the form of steam keys; just avoid the Microsoft store version)

To fix your save files from saying "loading..." or being blank

  1. Go to saves location:
    Windows:
    Save Files: %APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\

Mac:
Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/

Linux:
Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/

  1. Delete 2 files that have "ModdingApi.GlobalSettings" in their file name.

  2. Run the game.

DEBUG BINDINGS: If you are using Debug Mod and you want to reset your key bindings: Follow the above steps, but for step 2, delete "Debugmod.GlobalSettings" files instead.

BENCHWARP FIX: If you are using Benchwarp Mod and no mod text shows up in the top left of your title screen: Follow the above steps, but for step 2, delete "Benchwarp.GlobalSettings" files instead. (edited

Anyone familliar with the process of transferring saves from Switch to PC? I transfered user.dat file from Switch to my PC locallow folder, but when I start HK it shows save corrupted.
Is there something additional I need to do when going Switch -> PC?

#

Versions seem to be the same on Switch and PC, 1.4.3.2

#

Ok I figured it out, looks like the saves are handled a bit differently

#

You can upload the saves there, and it will convert them to the proper (PC or Switch) format

#

Just in case anyone asks in the future

#

Actually disregard that - The save file shows up/has proper amount of hours + location, but when I try to start playing HK crashes

#

Ok last update - after deleting the user3_1.4.3.2 file, and just opening HK with the user3.dat - it works and I'm able to load in and play the save file correctly.

I don't really know what I'm doing here sorry. I haven't fiddled with the mod installer much at all and I don't know where I can find the installer files and properly reset it

What does it mean windows installer 1/2

#

Does that matter

gloomy coral
#

yes

#

you have to follow instructions for modinstaller 1

#

Alrighty

#

Thank you!

#

Also should I download installer 2 or am I misinterpreting that message

gloomy coral
#

that also works

dry stag
#

Is there any difference

gloomy coral
#

UI is different and is less prone to breaking

#

I assume I have to delete installer 1 before I download installer 2

gloomy coral
#

no

dry stag
#

? Should downloading installer 2 override installer 1 or smth

gloomy coral
#

no

dry stag
#

So what do I need to do with installer 1 before I download installer 2

gloomy coral
#

leave it or delete it, it doesnt matter

dry stag
#

Alright. Where can I download installer 2?

Hello. I have a question. Why is it that when I try to heal it doesn't take any soul?

You will have to be more specific

#

There's lots of mods, any one of them could be the issue

#

Whenever I use spells it takes the right amount of soul but when I focus it takes 0

#

and I can heal infinitely
