I see
just trying to learn the vocab
I don't plan on becoming a programmer, but wouldn't hurt to know
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?
Why... would you pirate it to complete path of pain? You just beat it on your playstation? The excuses get wierder and wierder.
Cause i wanna get the different endings and dont have enough skills to complete path of pain
So i was gonna use the debug mod
Hk is meant to be hard
The path of pain is meant to be even harder
Ik
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

👀
What is the latest?
4.2.4?
i have that
o
does a mod exist that combines the effects of the king soul /void heart ik that its considered useless but i want its effect for my build and dont wanna start over
Don’t steam and gog automatically update the game?
Just try updating it
ok
Did you pirate it?
no
Ok
im gonna update
👍
Yay it worked Thanks 😄
No problem
@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
Ok
Pirate hollow knight is 10x worse than any other game how could you get a masterpiece for free
and free dlcs
i agree
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
I have 200 hours
It was definitley worth 14:99
for some reason the mod installer doesn't detect that i alredy have the game, it worked before, now it just doesn't, help?
i've alredy tried to reinstall it
https://streamable.com/dyb7tb
you did actually buy the game right?
..yeah
ok that is very strange, did you also reset the modinstaller?
sorry if you can't understand the language but this should be enough proof
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?
yeah ik don't worry about it
uhm no, where's the link
should be in the pins
hello
lemme check
did you just redownload it or did you do this blackdragon?
lets hope i turned the ping off
is there anything i need to do to enable dream shield co-op?
im trying to open it but it doesnt work
open what
you cant control the dream shield it works as normal
Anyone knows what the room randomizer is called? I'm having trouble finding it on the list
check its readme
randomizer 3
thanks
nothing helpfull
the dream shield works as normal and the control buttons dont work
Are you using the keys on the numpad
please help me to install my mods :c
Screenshot the main menu of hollow knight
Where did you purchase the game
I downloaded it by yt .-.

Any1 know why only scarlet crisis updates my skin
the others just set me to default skin
Their file structures probably aren't right then
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
its not a feature yet
which YT video?
the ones which has like multiplayer
that's normal
isnt it possible to fight the same boss?
no
ah I see
you can hit the boss of the other player but you can't see them and it isn't synced
however, nail strikes carry across
got it working now
they just extracted from the file weird
so i redid it
thank you
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
oh
Nice

Hi, first time modding, got this error. Any clue what I did wrong and how to fix it?
ah nevermind
read pins
ok nevermind but again because I get that error any time I try to install Vasi
With this exact error wording? Or does it say something else about license
I think it may have mentioned that initially, but any time I try to reopen the installer it shows that error
This one pops up after I try to reopen the installer
Currently resetting the installer
Did you do all of the steps from the pinned message? Or only some
This is the error that appears if I try to install Vasi
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?
still got the same error after deleting everything in the folder
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
and what am I looking for?
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?
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+Mto get all the maps! (Skip Elderbug)
Ctrl+Gto hide/show the Helper Pins for Grubs and Essence if you don't have them randomized
Ctrl+Pto hide/show ALL the pins so you can use it selectively to train back better!
thank you! we will try that out!
I forgot to ping you too. Link to MW compatable mapmod two messages up
and do I put that folder in the HK one for the mod?
Yeah, it goes into your mods folder. You can use the "Manually install" option on Mod Installer if you're not familiar with the folders, but it would be a good idea to become familiar with them fwiw
It should be similar to this:
(Assuming it's the steam version, it should be identical from the > Steam > part onward)
Thanks a bunch!
Open saves folder and delete debugmod.globalsettings.json and .bak
Thank you
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?
screenshot
the modlog or the title screen?
Title
You can delete unofficial hollow knight patch it doesn't do anything
If it works then there shouldn't be a problem ig
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
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
If a mod failed to load it's shows up twice
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
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.
Hi! where is the new launcher of mods? my version reports that it is outdated 😦
Anyone know why this comes up?
probably one of the mods you're using... randomizer perhaps?
No I don't use randomizer
debug mod?
Ye
that might be it then
uhh probably in the debug mod UI somewhere
I guess it doesn't cause any trouble
its from benchwarp
you can disable it from the global settings
wondering how to get full masks using debug?
you can't
you have to save edit
Which?
showScene
Thank you!

@gloomy coral
this one?
ye
ok thanks
no steam means no going to steam
this shows the path so its easier to show how to point to it
meh this is stupid
ok
why creators doesn't make steam workshop for mods
the devs need to allow that iirc
thanks it works :)
is dlc gods and nightmares a part of game or soundtrack
option 2
can someone help me with this
this?
this
the one you pay extra on steam is just for soundtrack, the actual dlcs already come in the void heart version
which is the one on steam
thanks
shouldn't it be a little bit easier to see which mods require others?
modinstaller automatically downloads them
you should probably ask those question on #hk-help
but isn't there somewhere where I can see which one requires each?
when I want to disable mods that i am not using for example
maybe a list of some sort?
normallly leaving dependancies active doesnt do anything as they are library mods (basically they dont directly affect anything)
if you want to you can read
https://github.com/ricardosouzag/ModInstaller/blob/master/modlinks.xml
ctrl+f the mod and below <Dependancies> read the dependancies
ok thanks
i was mega pepega, it crashed before changing background, this definetly works
hmm, I had completely forgot about this 
and I uninstalled cuz I think I might've accidentally messed with the global settings, and it was interfering with another custom mod
but thank you regardless! 
np
what are the test of teamwork dependencies?
SFCore
installer should auto download them
but what ruttie said
- talk to hornet in front of the black egg
- to the right of pop
It probs shouldn't mess with that any more
thxxxxx
hope so
is here any alternative to multiplayer hollow knight, where enemies are synchronized with the other player?
No
ok, and what are the differences between "multiplier mod by extremelyd1" and "multiplier mod by jingo"?
first one is more recent and stable
ok, thx, bye
I have just recently downloaded the mod installer 2 for windows, but everytime I try and run the game with mods, it crashes. Any idea what I should do? I tried playing it in 640xsth resolution because I read in a steam page that it helps, but now, my game is constantly pixelated even after unchecking the resolution thingy. Can someone help?
you have controller?
did the game work before you installed mods?
Disconnect the controller and Connect it after the game loads in the main menu
when ever i install custom knight this happens
Yes.

just scroll down a bit
I don't generally use the controller, I use my keyboard. And the game crashes before I even get to the game menu.
which mods did you download?
The debug mod.
When I checked the mod folder, it was in the folder 'disabled'
If that helps
screenshot your mods folder

My debug mod worked fine for the first few weeks but now when I open it it just says "cannot be run in DOS mode", idk what that means or whats happening but does anyone know how to help
why no admins are online rn?

because they dont have to be
where does it say that?
my question-aaaaaaaaaaaaa
how to enable fury of the fallen in easier p5 practice mod??
that's what all .dll files have as text in them, but you don't need to open the .dll file itself, just the game
1)wear fury
2) go to saves folder and open easierp5practice.globalsettings.json and next to remove_health add 8 like this remove_health": 8, and then play the game
I opened the game and now its just really really laggy

Which multiplayer mod has the custom knight compatability?
Which link had that good one
:D
okay, so it isnt working, my cast is also my focus?
tap it
ok did you just make a save and test it on that, or did you read the readme properly?
then you didn't read the readme properly
Bruh
"This mod does not work on a new save"
im blind then
One more question, do I have to put the files in any specific folder? Also, I grabbed the .exe and .dll
oh the .exe is probably not needed
okay I'll delete that one
so would i just leave the new save and reload it up
its only for if you want to let people play without having the game open
I probably do want that cuz my internet suck
disable hollow point, make a save, enable hollow point
the multiplayer procedure is the same as the old one but with a different mod
so whats in pins still works
wait with hamachi and stuff?
ye
alright thankyou
np
i remember there being godmode in the mod launcher, was that removed or am i just imagining things
in the mods folder
it has a readme
debug mod
also do we still need the multiplayer client from the normal mod download app
👌
it has invincibility
you dont really need the app and definitly none of the old mods
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?
doesn't matter but 26950 works 100%
if the skins show up on the left, just click on the skin. if it doesn't work, then you have a problem
Yea it doesn't work
like i said no customknight
Confuse
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
the name of the folder that contains the png's doesnt matter
Then that's weird
did you run the game once with the skins?
you swap skins with the 1, 2, 3, 4 etc keys
the buttons at the top of your keyboard
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
you see the id.txt right?
No?
then screenshot where you placed the skins
They're in steam>steamapps>common>Hollow Knight>hollow_knight_data>Managed>mods
Then HKMP>skins
ruttie for mod
Yea
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
Yeah that's how I have it
Should I leave and come back then?
Like close game 100% or
close the game 100%
Ok
Ok it worked! But my friend can't see my skin
How do I make it so they see it too?
ye
you and your friends skin files need to be the same including id.txt
The angel skin
only the knight and sprint.png's work for now
Oh ok so I delete the rest and it'll work?
Okay, noted
Is the modding google doc still up to date for current patch?
If it's the one in the pins, then yes
It's sorted by author first, so it can be hard to find stuff.
The most recent randomizer isn't in the drive/installer though- it's pinned in #randomizer
Also, here's a link to an up-to-date Map Mod: #archived-modding-help message
Thanks!
For some reason, when i try to uninstall modding API from the mod installer 2, it unchecks the box, but when i open the installer up again it is still checked and when i try to disable it, the installer crashes
Hmm, that's odd.
You can always uninstall the API by using Steam's "verify Integrity" option in the games properties menu
will i be able to install it again using the mod installer again?
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?
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
Did you move your Hollow Knight install? Either way, you'll need to reset the installer (there's a pinned message about it), and make sure that you point it to the correct folder.
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
Hollow Point overrides Custom Knight, correct
Although, if you're getting a white box, you might also be missing ModCommon
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
Where did you get the game from?
how do mke a hollow knight skin
@gloomy coral I don't have the steam version. I got it from steamunlocked
are you looking to install one, or make your own one?

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
Ah okay thank you
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
do you have a charm that does that

Thank you!
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.
Read the readme for Hollow Point
did you use hollow point?
why the readme
Because it tells you that you need to make a new save while using Hollow Point
i dont recall it having a fix and pins has a waay easier fix
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.
the hollow point fast heal problem cannot be avoided
It can by not opening save files you shouldn't
but if you dont open a save then you cant play
so there will always be 1 save affected
If you open your old save file you don't want to have changed by a mod, it will be changed by the mod.
oh no...
can i fix my save?
Reading instructions so that you know how mods work is very good. Hollow Point literally says "Read the ReadMe" in the name.

Yes
I saw this video https://youtu.be/L7ZCuWwc5xs of fire born doing the hollow point mod but he could actually use soul instead of the adrenaline thing so does anyone know how to recreate this or?
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.
This video is just for comedic value and to show off the mod. Obviously, the mod isn't close to being b...
It's an older version
I wish I could find a copy of original Hollow Point to add to my archived mods folder. There's definitely demand for just goofing around in that version.
HELP! I installed speedrun mod and now I'm unable to pause the game and there some gibberish like "main" something something "sub" where room name should be
Does anyone know if there's a fix to modding API removing controller support on mac? I can use a controller fine with vanilla steam HK but as soon as I run the mod installer and it installs modding API the game no longer recognizes controller input
Have you tried the saves fix in the pinned comments? (Removing the modding API global settings files)
thanks, it worked!
Modinstaller will not open anymore for me. the Auto Updater (AU) popped up on my desktop but when i run it, it does nothing
After not playing Hollow Knight for 3 months, today I went to pick it back up and play with some mods but the Mod Installer won't launch/load up is there a new update that I need to download
ya
got the same issue
no idea what to do lol
@uneven schooner I found this in pinned
try doing this
im going to try it as well
Alright thx I will give it a try just got to find my exe I don't remember where it is, because its been so long
@uneven schooner
i just deleted the appdata and then redownloaded the modinstaller and that did the trick
oh o
Yeah pretty sure its called infinite notches
I'm not sorry familiar with Speedrun mod, but it shouldn't prevent you from pausing. What are all the mods you have installed? (It may be helpful to post a pic of your main menu and/or a screenshot of your Mods folder)
one sec
Where did you find your appdata
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.
To easily get there on Windows:
- Press
⊞ Win+R - Copy and paste this into it
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight, and hit "OK"
What do I need to delete in the appdata to btw would it be the OldModLogs
custom map impossible any%
You don't have Speedrun mod installed though
also how would i go about getting all the charms
yeah I disabled it
You can give yourself all charms using Debug mod. It's in one of the menus on it (which you access by pausing the game and leading F1)
ok ty
Would I need to delete everything in AppData before I reinstall the ModInstaller
Is there any alternative for a multiplayer mod?
because the one in the modinstaller insn't working to me
did you follow the pinned procedure for 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)
i'll try
The pinned message for resetting the installer tells you what to delete 👍
Doing the steps for the pinned message just made my Desktop not respond lmao
None of these work unfortunately 😞 steam recognizes the controller fine, but HK refuses to accept the inputs
you will have to use a controller to keyboard mapping program then
Maybe this?

hey so i got a tiny problem with the hollow point mod
i made a new save to test it and the gun appears on my back, but i cant switch to it at all
read the readme
i did and this didnt work
this what you mean?
I found the "Enjoyable" keymaping app for mac and it finally works! I had tried keyboard mapping in the controller config in Steam but HK still wouldn't recognize it so I thought mapping was a bust, but having the app be external to steam seems to have done the trick
using an older save now and cast is still using spells instead of switching to the gun
Read the readme
you're probably missing dependencies
There are 2 cast buttons quick cast and focus
i've tried using both
now the mod installer is saying the mod is outdated
im just gonna try reinstalling
screenshot your installer and title screens

can you hide npc's with debug mod?
no
ah
if you get unity explorer you can hide anything including npcs
you'd need to know a bit about how unity scenes are structured though
sorry guys can you help me one sec with multiplayer mod??

hey does anyone have the shroom warrior custom knight skin?
i was not able to find it so wanted to ask
shroom warrior custom knight?
yeah
wait do you know how to make it work in the game in that case?
italy uploaded the mod here: <#archived-modding-development message>
yes
alright thanks very much
you'll have to search for them, there're only 5 of them spread throughout fungal wastes
oh thats actually really cool
i have a problem with the custom knight mod it goes well upto the point where i need to select the skin when i cli ck it it just dissapears any ideas why?
- Make sure you have Mod Common
- Make sure your file structure matches that of the default knight in the Custom Knight folder
whats mod common?
A name of a mod
Does EnemyChanger work with just the enemies in the SpriteChanger folder, or can I put a sprite sheet for any enemy in there and it'll work?
if you guess the filename format right, then yes
enemychanger itself will dump the files if they aren't already dumped
it should dump all enemies that were loaded at one point or another
yes
nevermind then my question is irrelevant. thank you very much!
np
probably what it says
yeah what does verify integrity of game files mean
I already did that and it still doesnt work kek
I'll just reinstall the game everytime I want to delete the modding api
ez
why is it when i add a mod the game completely breaks
theres no music and it wont let me go into saves and stuff

and you can't install the installer
it's a standalone program
ye thats what i meant sorry
what patch number is your game
1.4.3.2
okay. and what mods did you install
To fix your save files from saying "loading..." or being blank
- 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/
-
Delete 2 files that have "ModdingApi.GlobalSettings" in their file name.
-
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
you dont have the dependencies , you need modcommon, serecore, qol, and vasi
which im pretty sure are forced installed when you download the rando
but you dont have them so get them
how do I get the bot to ping me about installing the mod loader?
which mod do i install to use save states on current patch?

Right now pressing the readme button on linux crashes the mod installer
why is the mod installer just not opening
Do you have any antivirus programs on your computer?
Well, nonetheless, you should be able to open it by right-clicking the program and selecting "Open as Administrator".
Most of the time, it bypasses any antivirus protections.
Check the readme docs in the pins for the readmes
Do you have a file named AU.exe next to the installer?
yeah
Check pins for a fix
yeah I'm reading through pins
ok I got it working but its not letting me install the rando 3 mod
wait it's not letting me install any mods
like modinstaller is open but selecting install option isn't working?
perhaps try to restart pc
if that doesn't work, then it might require going into saves folder
Wdym not letting you install
hi so i opened the most recent mod installer and it asked me for the hollow knight path like normal, but then once i put it in the splash screen was just white. after a second it gave me this error message:
here are the details:
after pressing continue, it just stays on that white screen. the only thing im able to press is to upload mods manually
any thoughts?

Is anyone able to assist me? Am having trouble with Custom Knight.
are there any mods that are prone to crashing? ive now installed the mods i want but the game keeps crashing just before the mods are finished loading
nvm i got it
whats ur problem? i may be able to help
Skins are appearing in the pause menu but they're not loading in the game
ah yeah that happened to me too
i believe what i did was take out the skins from the custom knight folder, uninstall then reinstall custom knight, then put the skins back in
Let me try that right now
alr
there are also a few skins u have to do challenges for, but u should still be able to access most skins
Are all skins unzipped and formatted like the default one
Yes
idk ive nvr tried it lol
Not work D:
oh okay im sry then
i cant remember exactly what i did but ik it had smth to do with taking out the skins
and replacing them again
Hey can you make multiplayer work in a way so the enemies interact with both players in the same way
I believe no
Yes I agree
I've been trying to change the icon for hollow knight but as usual i am cursed and can't get anything to work. I know this isn't a modding thing, but i, and the people in #hk-help agreed dealing with game files and things would be more approriate here. I'm on mac
i found the "shortcut.icns" folder and replaced it with an image i renamed to "shortcut.icns" and it didn't work. I opened and reopened hk, and restarted my computer. I also made a folder called "shortcut.icns" and put the image in there and then put it in, but everything resulted in just the icon dissapearing altogether
i cant get the hollow knight mod installer to work
How am I supposed to get back into the mod installer after closing it without reinstalling it all over again
Having to hike all the way back to the link every time makes me wanna pull my hair out
if i have the hk through the xbox app is there an easy way to mod or do i have to do it through steam
Hi, i just installed the debug mod, and the UI is blurry and small, any way to change this?
from the main menu, go to options, video, resolution, and change the resolution to your desired degree
Thanks
?
should be already downloaded
would prob require modding the console itself, much easier on steam
did you try fireb0rn's tutorial?
is changing desktop icons even a thing? I've never heard of being able to do that
oh don't worry about me
it worked
after 5 people and and hour and half of trial and error
but yes, it is a thing
if you want to do it, at least on mac, it has to be a jpg
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.
where is the guide to using the mod installer again?
I had to delete hollow knightcause of some space concerns on my laptop and lost my modding progress
It should be somewhere in pins if you haven't found it yet
nvm i got it thanks!
yeah it rlly did just take one click i don't know why i was worrying
Hey! Question about multiplayer. Where can I find out which IP to enter, and how can I find out if a connection has occurred?
modding corrupted my save file. the watcher knights in hallownest are defeated and yet the statue in the hall of gods is not there
and I did not defeat the watcher knights
is there any way for me to put them back into the overworld?
can i help with this enemy randomizer mod? it shows in game that it's on and enabled but it doesn't actually change anything in game
and i enabled it in the mods options
anybody?
no1?
Which mods did you download
In the main menu there's a button for Randomize enemies
Youbahev to press that
I just activated the randomizer
You can't use rando on non rando saves
and then deactivated it
ohh, i didn't notice that at all
so now I cant do p5
and some earlier ps
i think
what pantheons require watcher knights
I have to literally reset my game now
if I want 112%
Firstly; which Randomiser?
Secondly; you could try downloading QoL mod, then heading to your save files location and finding "user1.JSON" and seeing if you can find a setting that will put the Watchers back into your world.
me and my friend are trying to do the multiplayer mod but we can't get it to work. i cant see him, he can't see me.
Thirdly; don't use mods on an old save file without backing up
the pins have a multiplayer procedure

only load said savefiles
alright, thank you

whenever I switch skins, all the geo drops become invisible, any solutions to that?
Yeah, go into the "vanilla" skin folder, so the skin folder where the sprites for just the regular knight are, in there should also be a geo.png, take that and copy it into the folder of the other skin your using
If you for some reason don't have the vanilla sprites, or just don't find it, just tell me ill send it to you
Don’t use rando on non rando saves, it WILL mess them up
that doesnt always work and in addition to that only switch skins in stags
why stags?
Small scenes, probably take up less ram
Did ModCommon appear there this time?
Then you’re probably missing serecore
Np
hey guys i have a question - I downloaded the mac modinstaller file but I tried to open it nd it keeps closing immediately

Hey just wanting to ask a few questions about the mod installer. I'm having issues opening the mod installer itself for some reason. Whenever I clicl on it it just immediately closes
And also whats the website where I can download mods from?

the modinstaller is the easiest way to download mods
Do I need to reset the mod installer?
download the windows installer. .app files are for mac
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

Also should I download installer 2 or am I misinterpreting that message
that also works
Is there any difference
UI is different and is less prone to breaking
I assume I have to delete installer 1 before I download installer 2
no
? Should downloading installer 2 override installer 1 or smth
no
So what do I need to do with installer 1 before I download installer 2
leave it or delete it, it doesnt matter
Alright. Where can I download installer 2?
Thank you
Sorry for all the questions I'm just not good at stuff without direction and pins can be confusing
Thanks a ton
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
you used hollow point?
