you can check the mods folder if it actually installed the mod
also if you download a mod that requires a different mod but you dont have it then it installs it without telling you
there is no mods folder or something like that in games folders
probs pointed the installer to the wrong path
reset the installer the instructions are in the pins
that can be the problem
ok
Also, which mod installer are you using?
what do you do if it says a unhandled exception occured in your application.
windows
send screenshot
there is no mods folder at the games managed file
oh check ?pins theres a link to a set of instructions
im also getting that =I
OH ok ik how to fix it
check ?pins
mickly has one in pins that explains how to fix it
yea ı wont try anymore nopthing working
what does cursed doooo?
Read readme
idk which one it gave me like 5 mods but ill do that thanks
Do you get an error before this?
nope
Maybe use modinstaller 2
modinstaller 2 is not for mac?
yes
the error being...
bonjour, j'aurais besoin d'aide avec un problème que je ne comprend pas trop x))
j'avais déja installé mod installer aupravant et tout s'était bien passé, j'avais pu instaler des mods, m'amuser et tout ça
habla ingles
oh yeah sorry i forgot x))
well, the problem is that i doesn't have anymore the list of the mod in mod installer
i just have "manually button" and it's the only one i get
and a strange case were ia can type
wait can you post a screenshot of some sort
this could help
that's the only two things i have
check the message i replied to
thanks !
i tried use modinstaller 2, but the game crashes
hi! does anyone know how to port forward?
it varies on each router
yes
you can just use hamachi instead
i cant
that sucks, make them ask the admin instead
but is there anyway to port forward?
going through the router's settings of course. i can't really help you on this one because process varies on router models
Hi! Is there a mod with all collectibles on map in Randomizer3?
you mean the location of all collectibles?
yeah
there isn't, but you can check the Spoiler Log instead
i have this:
randomapmod
but i dont know what to put on service
oh that
nor in the game
that one
that's not a modinstaller 2 problem
the custom service name shouldn't matter, make sure the service points to your internet or smthing
let me check my router settings real quick
if port forwarding is done than use ipconfig in a command prompt to see your ip
hmmmm. i don't know what's External host supposed to be
but Internal host, i think it should be your computer's Private IPv4
You can check it using ipconfig in Command Prompt, what ruttie told
it should be the one starting with 192.168
Also if you're the one hosting the server, you should have both MultiplayerServer and MultiplayerClient installed I think
Others should have only MultiplayerClient on
Thank you!
i can connnect, but my friend cant
@fair briarDoes the RandoMapMod work with Room Randomizer and the such?
idk why
Also for the 3 bars on the top, you should set the top one to 127.0.0.1 (this points to your own computer). If anything doesn't work, make sure you let Hollow Knight through the firewall
i believe so
what
When i try to install any mod with ModInstaller, it causes Hollow Knight to error out and not open up. When i remove the mods, it works fine. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
the 3 bars at the top, in-game ESC menu
Oh this is the HKMP mod?
At bottom right should be the log where it displays who joined, etc
hmm
which ip are you using?
he's trying to connect to my ip4
ok
My head is a little blurry on how exactly HKMP works-
Maybe I think the problem is with your router settings
lets check if the port forwarding works
Not too exactly sure
i'd share but you know
You know DMs exist
let your friend type ping "your ip" in cmd
what is the required version of the game to work the modinstaller
or work in all versions
1.4.3.2
Only current patch sadly, I think-
ok
which is my public ip
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.
LMAO i love that website
Though it doesn't have the snippets.
Visit https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ipv4 instead
fair enough
does he have to connect to my public ip¿
Yes
but in the port what do i have to put
all the ips have to be the same, the port doesnt really matter
the port does have to be the same tho
The port and IP has to be the same for everyone
What does enviados mean?
perdidos?
so, port forwarding is broken
It exactly isn't
^
are you from europe?
why the question?
to try
I mean it shouldn't matter but yes
ok
Partly 
ohgod that is gonna go well
hey so I've downloaded ModInstaller2 and have it integrated in the game, and I've read the ReadMe for the debug mod but the additional API link is giving a 404 message
how else can I download the debug mod?
the modinstaller 2 works, i update the game to 1.4.3.2
- download debugmod
- done
- amazing someone reads the readme!
the api was downloaded by the modinstaller
oh alright, so how do I apply it? in the installer it has the list, but "enabled" and "installed" are uncheckable and there doesn't seem to be anything else to interact with
I know the mod installer is active ingame since I can see the mod menu, but none of them are accessible
click on the box next to the words
it won't let me click on them
not?
OH WAIT IM DUMB I WAS TRYING TO CLICK ENABLED
thank you for your help and patience
I can try 
ok
sir, this is #archived-modding-help
But is it
smh, the thing even has a slightly different background colour
(Works on mobile)
cringe
Yeah there's a small black border around it too which is triggering me
yea, slightly different
also slightly different
I guess I’m blind
#36393E (discord dark theme bg)
#363940 (fly bg)
only 2 numbers ahead 
i actually thought it would be more different
Why specifically that though
I’d think it would’ve been more different or exactly the same
Read the mod's README, it should help.
it doesnt have a readme
There is a link to the README collection in the
just as FYI for future.
ok
i had already read it
i mean
i read it before
but it doesnt explain why it doesnt fire
Did you use it an existing save or a new file?
existing
I'm tapped. I don't play with hollow point so that's all I got ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm assuming you have ModCommon installed as well
Did randomizer mod get updated? Fireb0rn did a stream today and he had some new randomization options
:o
yes
Most recent rando is pinned in #randomizer
What charms are on
let me see
thanks!
If there are multiple that change the gun type then they make it not work iirc
(That’s in the readme)
So I'm having a slight issue
When I use the mod installer, my game stops working
Like my saves don't load and if I click on the mods section my game locks up and I cant close the menu
how do you heal in the hollow point mod
I wonder why READMEs are named README
I suggest you check it out, it's literally begging to be read
Link is above
Check pins
i did, i couldnt find it
pins?
New healing/spell resource: ADRENALINE. Consume ADRENALINE to allow you to use powerful skills. Filling your ADRENALINE completely gives you class specific buffs to help you cover their weakness. When your ADRENALINE meter is full, keep attacking and you will automatically heal, forcing you to play as aggressively as possible.

To get bench warping what is the name of the mod does it come with other stuff or is it just bench warping
I get this error when i try to run HK after I install a mod with Mod Installer. I have no idea what to do at this point, I followed the pinned messages and nothing seems to help?
The mod manager gives me an error when I try to open it
so i was a fool and ran some mods on my main save and didnt back up the files now i can heal really really fast and it takes no soul to do so i have tried everything aside from completely deleting the save file i have disabled the mods unistalled the mods uninstalled the mod installer i tried to just change the save file to a different slot i tried to understand bloodorca and i just ended up duplicating the file any ideas on how to set the focus speed back to normal?
What error
Hollow Point Fix
Download this file and drop it in the mods folder and open the save file affected by hollow point
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/829632704580288532/Hollow_Point_Changes_Fix.dll
From steam verify integrity and try opening the game
Then try downloading mods again
so i downloaded the file and went hollowknight>managed>mods and put it there right?
should i enable hollowpoint again when i open the save file?
No
hey does anyone know where i can download the anyradiance fight?
I found Ultimatum Radiance a bit too easy so I decided to tweak the difficulty by a slight margin.
Modified from:
https://github.com/Alek-Fleischer/hollowknight-ultimatumradiance
this one
i've looked around but i can't find anything
Its in the pins
Have fun!
Thats the spirit!
Help
Firstly; you can delete the second and third version of the mod installer, you only need the one
Secondly; this looks like a Mac issue. I can't quite make out what the text at the bottom says, but if there is no way to just continue, you'll need to change some kind of firewall settings. You could also try moving mod installer out of your downloads folder, and potentially running as admin, or whatever the Mac equivalent is.
Go to settings and allow the setting for opening app from other developers
It's somewhere in security and privacy
thanks!!
Where can I download the SereCore.dll? I thought I already had it but the newest randomizer mod is showing error
Modinstaller
It doesnt open
Which os?
Windows 10
Which one did you download?
The one in the pins or the one with the zote head from radiance.host
Ran the verify from Steam → fixed 1 file → re-downloaded mods → open HK → same error
Verifying integrity of game files Doesn't change your mods. You would have to reset the installer, which you can find out how to do in the pins
I downloaded the zote one. I had the mod installer for a while and it worked fine a couple month ago but it doesnt want to open
Oh wait a sec
Oh im dumb
I didnt read the "The installer needs to be in the desktop" line
Which mods did you download?
EnemyHPBar and Debug
This is what i see after a reseting everything. Are there any dependent mods i should be checking off beforehand
Click on the orange button to update the api
Did you download any mods before the crashing?
If i go to open the game with JUST the modding API, there is no crash.
If i download any mod after that (tried just 1 at a time) a crash happens
how tf di dyou fix that
i accidently closed the mod thing idk how to open it up again
do i have to re download it?
Help I wanna try steel soul again but every time I open the fury chest I get max charms and notches it makes 0 sense
how do i fix it
how tf do i even open the goddamn thing
yo fam custom knight does not work
I figured it out. HK updated to the beta version without me knowing. Pushed it back to current patch and it works fine now lol
i click on knight but my character just flashes and does nothing
Custom Knight definitely does work lol
Your either did something wrong (either forgot ModCommon, or didn't set up the folders correctly), or you're using another mod that's incompatible (such as Hollow Point or Lightbringer)
how do i open the thing with like mods in it
i downloaded the mod changer but idk what to click to open it
Assuming you mean Mod Installer that's in the pins, then you just open it. If you didn't take it out of your Downloads folder, then you should probably do that first.
It isn't a program installer that you downloaded. It is the program itself.
Just make sure that you got it from here, and not a random website
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
i dont have a download folder all i have is mods
help lmao
When you downloaded the installer, where did you put it? Lol
I listed out all of the possible problems for you. If the first one wasn't the problem, then it is the other.
Well it stays wherever you put it, and you need to launch it wherever you want to use it
You can move it to somewhere else. It's usually recommended to put it on your desktop
Help
do i need to keep the mod installer app running while i play hollowknight for the mods to take effect? or as long as theyre enabled i can close it before i launch the game?
Yea u can close it
thank you
No prob :D
another question about the QoL mod, as long as i download and "enable" thru the mod installer, i shouldnt have to do any of the manual steps it kinda speaks of in the "readme" and is the QoL mod even worth it? i appriciate the info you guys are giving me btw, this community is really friendly and good hearted. thanks again guys
Help please view this message
Just click install and it’s done personally when I got mod loader I also thought there was no way it was that easy
I mean it’s free so duh it’s worth it
And why does literally no one help me
why does my game crash when i have custom knight, benchwarp and debug mod?
it worked once but now it doesn't
Ah
I think you might need to reset the installer
Or just uninstall and and re instal
i'll try deleting and then trying again
K
i'll come back if it happens again
K
I want to make a custom knight skin but I dont know what drawing sowftare should I use do you have any suggestions?
ok
I think I had the same problem
This fixed it for me, not sure if this is the problem you're having but it seems similar
How do you unbind a cheat on debug mod
Go to saves folder and open debugmod.globalsettings.json and then delete the line corresponding to the key you wanna unbind
I love how it takes 1 second to delete or instal the mod
But you have to go into the literal files to remove a key bind
@native ice thanks
this @thorn fern
what this is replying to
thx!
np
What mods are on
I'm trying to do online with my friend and we can see each other but are completely stationary and wont move at all
does anyone know a fix to this?
@thorn fern
thx!
Is it ok if Hollow Knight 1 2 2 1 freezing for about 1 ms if I enter rooms or kill enemies? It is quite annoyng and i dont have this problem on the godmaster
is it possible to se other peoples custom skins onine?
Don't think so
there is a setting that says "custom knight" and idk what it could mean.
Oh, then possibly
No
Old setting.
Doesn't do anything now iirc
- Do you have debug mod enabled?
- Do you have any mods enabled?
- Are you playing a fresh save file?
QoL does a lot of things overall, and it makes the game mostly act like the 1221 patch, which is used for speedrunning. It is also considered a dependency for Randomizer, if you choose to play that (logic doesn't require it in just item rando, but it's still incredibly helpful)
It sounds like either
- You're on the wrong patch (some people have opted into beta patches, which mods don't currently work on), or
- you're missing a dependency such as ModCommon, or
- you are having the Game Controller crash, which is usually fixable by starting HollowKnight with your controller disconnected, and then connecting it once you're in the main menu
You'll need to reset the ModInstaller, which has instruction in the pins
. Make sure when first running the installer, that you are selecting the correct folder when it asks for the Hollow Knight game path.
If you ever want to, you and your friend can try using HKMP ( https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP ). It's actively being developed, and does support skins to an extent. There's info about it on the page I linked, and there's a dedicated support server if you have questions about it 
Hi, I have a large problem with my game rn and i think its due to the debug mod. I installed the mod on my game (without backing up my saves D:) and now for some reason I can't hit enemies anymore (even though they can still hit me). I think this is because i uninstalled the mod with something like invincibility enabled, but i redownloaded it and toggled each setting off and the bug is still happening. Have already verified my files and it didn't fix it. What, if anything, can i do to fix this?
do you have debug mod now?
not rn
get it
got it
ok go into the game, and enable the layout
then in the big box in the left see what your naildamage is
sounds like nail damage 0
yep
I'll check that asap, ty
then with + and - you can change your nail damage
without charms, old nail is 5 and pure nail is 21
yep, added to nail damage and it instantly fixed it, thanks a ton! never would have figured that out lol
you need serecore QoL vasi and benchwarp
it says out of date
but if I do so, it will downpatch randomizer mod ! no?
how would updating it downpatch it?
I have the most recent version of it, with the cursed nail and all that stuff
is it finally on the modinstaller ?
i dont even know what the cursed nail is 
judging from the orange box, no
dont update it
same for the map I guess
you have the version that is newer then the one on the installer
I updated benchwarp tho
so the installer thinks, "hey, thats different"
benchwarp is fine
Yeah, you're just missing serecore
weird question but what does the "split cloak" "split claw" and "cursed nail" do in rando 3 cuz im not sure
the directions of nail slashes and stuff are rando
you cant hit up without unlocking it for example
oh thats actually pretty fun thanks very much
fireb0rn covered it
You will pick up "Left claw" which lets you wall cling left. It will add an extra check at claw also.
ahh didnt see it then
in a stream
If you have items duped, split claw is not duped, there's still one left and one right.
how do you use item randomizer?
Download the mod installer from the pins, then download randomiser 3
and serecore, vasi, QoL and benchwarp
thanks
My Mod installer fails to download Vasi and ModCommon with the new modinstaller
what is "the new modinstaller"?
8.7.1
you have internet right?
wierd
yes
see if theres a vasi or modcommon .zip
a damaged zip file shows up after downloading it
whether you chose the quit or the continue
same with Vasi
if not, download this:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1UsR4IF-B_yGO1dsP-VUOzzLESYXgvrt5
and this
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1TVAIN2Oh_RJwStoxkReoyRxVmrqju9wg
and place them in the mods folder (also extract them)
then restart the modinstaller and see if the pop up
Will the modinstaller recognize them when downloading mods such as room rando
righto give me a sec
That did it
thanks a ton
wait now it just won't run the mods at all
even tho they are all installed, and placed correctly
wait no I'm just an idiot and didn't enable modAPI

Click on enable modding api near the bottom
where can I find mod installer 2?
Hey i want to download the debug mod but can't find the modding API in GitHub
There is an error
It is?
Why GitHub. Use modinstaller
thats what Ruttie told me once i think
or i think it was him
i just know someone told me about that
and they were right
Modinstaller 1 is wayy more broken
Where do i access it
i almost lost my save file cuz of it
yeah but it bugged my game in a way that i almost had to delete it
i was not able to even move
well
i could move
but not exit the room
i was just stuck in P5 entrance
and was respawning at a bench in P5 for some reason
What mods were on
It won’t directly cause problems, your problem was due to a mod
just debug custom knight and modcommon
it literally happen right after i tried using it so
What did you bind in debug
Ok I got the modding api
i only binded the cheats
Are you sure you didn’t accidentally set one wrong
nah
i only have the cheats binded
debug i think
There are automatic binds for other things
nah
thats just what was happening when we were fixing an issue for 2 hours
i had to do a bunch of things
how i can istall it?
the mods
get mod installer
ok
they are in the pins
thank you
np
is it a button, I can't see it
I am on v8.7.1 of the mod manager btw
Yea it's near the bottom of installer
Can you edit the achievements received in hk?
Mine's kinda bugged out and the falsehood achievements isn't coming up
i don't see it
place this in the mods folder and open a save file
Did you... just make that?
click on revert back to unmodded and then click enable modding api
nope
Hmm
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Thx btw
ok, will try that
it won't put me back to vanilla, it says to verify the integrity of the vanilla files and relaunch the launcher
i don't know if there is anything different on my files
Does anyone have a link for mod installer?
around 5-6 messages up, or look in the pins
here
Hey, I tried looking it up and didnt find anything but after bench warping I notice I dont kill enemies in as many hits as Im meant to (I have the pure nail), is that something to do with the mod??
Yes
Ok ty
thx
should I get an antivirus before modding
like I accidently installed the mod installer thinking it was a link to a website
You have debug?
pretty sure its safe, but antivirus is a good thing to have regardless
ok
im gonna save for norton before I mod
I also just want to get into modding in general
Is that another mod? Im new to this sorry lol
Ok yeah I got the debug mod, I’ll play around and see if I can fix it
debug mod
if I launch the game it is still modded
I'm struggling to connect with a friend in multiplayer client mod, we even tried hamachi and don't know how to connect
Does anyone know a way to connect to others that works?
Check pins and fireborns multiplayer video
Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on verify
If you open installer again it'll go back to modded
?If you downloaded it from the link below then the mods don't have viruses.
I followed fireborn's video and even tried hamatchi but didn't work
there is no verify opition on steam, or on the folder that opens
There's a verify file integrity on steam properties local files
Google it
F
Do you need to do something more than just activating the debug mod on the launcher for it to work?
I have a.... wierd problem
reaaaallly wierd
hhmmm
I installed hollow point
but unistalled it
ok so all is good right? nop
for some reason healing takes like 2 soul instead of the 33 and it takes like 1 second
It might seem cool but i really don´t want this, i tried to unistall the game, install again, unistall delete all files, install again
and wierder is: it only happens on 1 save file
all others are good
Hi, I reached out here two days ago maybe? But even with the help of Someone 𓌬, my issues sadly still remains. (thanks for your help tho Someone). My current issues are that the game does not seem to load in the mods, I have made sure/done the following things:
- Triple checked the path
- Deleted GlobalSettings in the saves folder
- Made sure the Modding API was enabled
- Reset the installer (followed the pinned comments instructions)
- Reinstalled HK, which weirdly gave me the Unhanded exception error, but is fixed by following the pinned comments
- Probably more but cant remember rn.
Have no idea what the issue might be, and a thing is that even if i open the file location using Steam, and navigate my the mod folder, the mods I have downloaded are there, but they never seem to be "loaded" in the game.
are you using mod installer 1 or 2?
So this is my first time trying out a mod.
I'm using the debug mod and tried using the quicksave feature. I used this in the pantheon of hollownest but it looks like I cant use it there. Can anybody help me?
I have the same problem.
quicksave feature is terrible for me it never works tbh :/
There is a second mod installer? o.o Currently using the one pinned
yeah.. the first one stopped working
give me a sec
the first one from Dyno bot
i think that´s the one
is it one where the background is black?
I think I downloaded the first pinned message one from Dyno. But it does not have black background
then it´s not the working one
the first one is no longer online or something idk it´s wierd
Oh, i see some light in the tunnel ^^ where could I find the installer2.0?
give me a min
it´s downloading(gonna see if it´s this one)
let me say it´s not the one that has an image of zote(no suprise it no longer works <.<)
gonna see if it´s that one from 56
@mystic owl common issue with hollow point, here is fix
yeah i think it´s the 2º one from 56
and ty basil gonna try that
Is there a mod that lets me save in the PoH? I want to save in the bench rooms.
...... it´s freaking fixed!! thank you!!!
Thanks alot @mystic owl ! I will try it, will tell if it works^^
oohh the same thing as me?
yeah

seriusly? when i try using it it never works

and i saw some more people with the same problem, might just be a bug, sorry then
i'm sorry i'm confused how do i fix the soul thing
do what basil said(like 5 messages above)
IT WORKED! Thank you! make sure to get yourself a doggo to pet!

I have qol for mod installer but im not sure what to do with it? Im sorry im confused. Its early day for me. Im tired
You go to saves location. Open the userX json file in notepad. And change the values for healing
I can't even find the save files.
write on your search thingy %appdata%
.
Oh im stupid I forgot I can search
Type the whole thing in your address bar and press enter
It says that the focus amount is already 33, but in game it takes like 2 seconds to actually heal
Did you open the right save
Did you save the changes you made and then restart the game
i didn't make any changes though. it was already 33 when i opened it
Screenshot it
Do you have quick focus equipped
Do you have any mods on right now
Custom knight (no skins in file except default), API, mod common
@left dagger did you try using the mod file that was in my list of ways to fix it?
Wait- do you have deep focus equipped?
No. I have quick slash, strength, shaman, grubsong, dreamwielder
The Hollow point bug makes it so that you don't heal
Install QOL
You need QOL on for the json to be correct and to update
That is probably very old save data. Before you had hollow point
Delete that json. Install qol
Then run your game. Close game. Go get that json again and look inside it
No one has to do this for me but Im wondering if theres a description of all the mods and what they do somewhere out there on the internet
the pins contain a readme collection
Thanks man
Thank you so much. It fixed now.
Yea it only gives you one direction each pickup
Ngl idk what that means lol
If you get right claw, you can only cling and jump on walls on the right side. If you only have left dash, you can only dash left
thx
Thats weird as shit but cool
How tf do they do this crazy stuff
And whats cursed nail?
Like cursed focus?
Oh so just like cloak and claw
I installed a bunch of mods and then I reinstalled the moding software because I accidentaly deleted it and now none of it works anymore
Click on enable modding api
thx
My mod installer keeps glitching out and going to a bigger window saying “manually” to install the mods, instead of the nice menu it usually is when I launch the mod installer, is there any way to make this not happen?
Are you getting an error before that?
Yes
The error being...
Well I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and it’s working right now, but I’ve done that before and it happened again. So i guess if it happens again I’ll be back here
where do i find the hollow knight files that contain all the text so i can edit them all to swedish
i installed that one, i couldnt figure out how it worked though
go to the mods folder and open the folder with the same name

Can someone remind me what the modloader is called in files
i need to find it to install mods but its been like half a year since ive used it
modinstaller.exe
Ok thanks!
umm, can someone help with Daughter of Hallownest skin
there's buncha files there
and i dunno what to do with them
got into the zip and go to hollow_knight_data>managed>mods, and only extract the daughter of hallownest folder thats in the customknight folder
It’s just a hp bar skin
well, that's a really cool feature
that is meant to be somehow used
listen here, do i put the CustomHpbar folder in the Daughter of Hallownest folder and extract that?
Custom hp bar has nothing to do with CustomKnight if you mean the daughter of hallownest CustomKnight folder
The hp bar folder goes in the mods folder
no the customhpbar mod generates a seperate folder in the mods folder
*enemy hp bar mod
i have been enlightened
thank you for your assistance and keeping up with my stupidity
So I'm trying to reset my mod installer as its not working but I have 1 braincell and idk if I need to set this path to where my HK is installed or where I want to put my installer at
I checked the pins and this simple question didn't seem to be answered as its simple but like I said before I currently have 1 braincell and don't want to mess everything up
Where hk is installed
thank you
I think I got it fixed now, thank you again
new thing, my mod installer when I drag it around now kinda floats and lags behind
is that normal or is my pc dying
I’d say it’s either normal or neither
okay
no other program is doing this
only the mod installer program, its kinda fun to "toss" it around but I'm worried its something harmful
Is it just me or does geo never show up when using the pure vessel skin?
Actually all me skins wont make geo show up
Copy the Geo.PNG file from default into all the skins that are missing it.
Also, only change skins in rooms that don't have a lot of stuff in them, as that can sometimes cause problems. Most bench rooms are safe, but there's a few that have a lot in them, like the Deepnest Hot Springs bench
Did you also do the first bit?
what randomized mod would be the best to use for the current version and does anyone have a video on how to install the mod? thanks!
The one in the modinstaller is up to date. If you know how to use the modinstaller you're good.
If not, then check out the pins for background info and launch the software, it's not too hard to figure out
Install the mod installer from the pins
Download Randomiser 3
Also download QoL mod, Benchwarp, Mod Common, Vasi, and Serecore
I already have CustomKnight installed, if the file with the pictures is zipped (only 1 file), should I extract then add it? Or it doesn't matter?
Extract it
Thank you
ok, thanks! getting hollow knight on pc today after exclusively playing on switch for a couple years, im super excited
If you need help with Randomiser 3, be sure to head over to the #randomizer channel for help
Hi there
May i ask st
Normally, ur moved to the home screen after the end credit.
Then in multiplayer mod, what happens when
- The host sees the ending
- A guest sees the ending
So ppl get kicked out?
Maybe
So you dont know
It would only do that if the host caused a disconnect
Not clients
It'd be the same thing as quitting out of a save to main menu
If host quits, then all disconnect. If one client quits, doesn't matter
And when dreamnailing hollow knight, wat happens if tgere were two players, and one player goes into the dream realm
Another player is just left in the room?
yes
They go to dream realm
Yes
Your worlds are separate
The other would still be fighting their boss
If the other player dreamnails too, will they join the same dream realm, or a separate one?
So you'd see each other
But again, your bosses are different
And your levels are your own
So if one person started the final climb, you'd just see them jumping off of nothing
And they'd see you slowly going below the void level that's rising
Then if its same for items and stuffs, the host getting a charm doesnt mean it goes to all other players
correct
Your worlds are your own
Also one player unlocking a door doesnt unlock everyone's door
I het it
I get it*
I also saw players doing pvp
But that's it
What is the default naildmg value in debug mod (pure nail)
21
Mine says 32 even after reinstalling
you have strength on
Oh right
32 is default with strength (it's correct)
Thanks man
It'll say next to that what your base dmg is before buffs
Will adding a skin mod lag the game too much (I play on lowest graphics, I only got 4 gbs of ram lmao)
You might struggle a little, but you could try it. The Modding API itself actually makes the game run better, so that could balance it out.
am i able to play the game modded on a separate drive
does anyone know how to setup this item tracker for randos i have been trying to figure it out for an horu https://github.com/iamwyza/HollowKnightRandomizerTracker
Yes. I think they still use one set of saves on your OS's drive though, fwiw
Anything related to Randomizer will have better responses in #randomizer
ah thx
The mod installer gives me a invalid operation exception when I start it
(The sequence does not contain any element)
look at pins
- Make sure your installer exe is on your desktop.
- Reset your installer (#archived-modding-help message)
- go to your game files, and delete the Mods folder (Located at Hollow Knight->hollow_knight_data->Managed->Mods)
- Run the installer again as admin.
So uh, i know like nothing about mods, is there any launcher I get or do I get mods from workshop
Ok thanks
watch a youtube video on it
first one that pops up
"how to download hollow knight mods"
I downloaded the Modinstaller linked in the pinned, but when I opened it it showed this, is this a problem? If so how do I fix it?
Click the orange box
Ty! I didn't wanna accidently screw anything up~
hi! can someone send me the dll file for custom knight? I tried to install it through modInstaller but when I open my game and hit pause the menu to select skins isn't there. I want to try manually adding the dll file to my mods folder and see if that works
Screenshot your pause menu, also in the options menu is there a mods menu
yes i have a mod menu, the mod is turned on but not working i dont think (maybe I have too many open?)
Can you send your modlog
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
It’s directly in your save files path
Are you on mac
Yes, unfortunately 😔
You have to manually create the Custom Knight path for mac
Mac specific info:
Mod .dll files go here:
.. Hollow Knight -> hollow_knight.app -> content -> resources -> data -> managed -> mods
CustomKnight skins go here:
.. Hollow Knight -> hollow_knight.app -> content -> data-> managed mods
(You'll need to right-click hollow_knight.app and select "show contents" or something like that)
Oh that makes a lot of sense, thank you! (But may i have the mod file since it might be easier to copy it over that way)
A. You already have the file (that's why it's in the main menu at the top right left)
B. The "Mods Menu" in the pause menu is 99% useless. You don't use it for anything normally lol
C. All of the mod files that are on the installer, are also in the Gdrive in the pins
Oh wait yeah I’m stupid🥴 thanks
Oh sorry, I had to go do something after I sent this
By navigating through the save file path, (idk maybe I did something wrong)
That’s right
(That wouldn’t work but ok)
Thanks
yeah sorry I'm bad with modding stuff and navigating through my computer
You also seem to be missing the SereCore mod
Or something is just old?
It says it’s missing Seanprcore but recently it’s been changed to SereCore
Nvm you have serecore
Some mod just needs to switch to Serecore
oh... does that mean I should install seanprecore as well?
I have serecore for randoMapMod I believe
No, a mod just needs to be updated
is there an updated version? how do I use it then
Idk which mod
oh okay, does that mean custom knight is just unusable at the moment?😔
No?
CustomKnight has nothing to do with SereCore or seanprcore
It’s another mod that needs to be updated
Well I gtg
@high patrol You just need to put the Custom Knight skin files into the path I posted
I think it puts the default one into the wrong path, so you may need to move it.
But other skins go in the same general area, that's why I posted the example image
While installing the randomizer 3 mod, it gave me this error.
It can't access the licence because it's already in use
It's a bug that happens with Vasi. You'll need to go to your /Mods folder and extract the .dll file from Vasi.zip
okay yeah thank you very much
ty, I think it worked
You should send the crash report it created
That's just a generic crash message
I downloaded the mod and it gave error
"The Mod" ?
mod API
You probably want to use the ModInstaller from the first pinned message, and it'll make sure you have the correct ModdingAPI for the Current patch
Also, make sure that you're not playing on the Beta updates for Hollow Knight
Also, if you're using a controller, then you may need to have it disconnected before launching Hollow Knight, and then connect it when you get to the main menu
if yall got room for another error question--
im getting this whenevr i open the mod installer
(sry for the pin) my content => data folder only contains a managed folder (NOT managed mods), should I put the skins there?
You need to make the folders
oh sorry I thought you just meant moving the things around (oki I will create folder now)
You appear to be using an old version of Mod Installer. Check the pins
, as you'll need to reset the installer and download the latest version
i did that but im still havn the same issue
Then you missed a step. If it's done correctly, then it'll work
Are you downloading the installer from somewhere else maybe? Because you want the one from here (in the first pin)
i download from the pin, then i open it
And you need to follow all of the steps in the message about deleting the old files.
ohh wait wahuiiwhua which message?
ahhhhhhh that pin okay okay ty
You probably want to use the ModInstaller from the first pinned message, and it'll make sure you have the correct ModdingAPI for the Current patch
Also, make sure that you're not playing on the Beta updates for Hollow Knight
Also, if you're using a controller, then you may need to have it disconnected before launching Hollow Knight, and then connect it when you get to the main menu
You also might need to use steam's "Verify Game Integrity". It looks like maybe you tried to manually install the API, and did it incorrectly. Your crash message says that it didn't find the file that contains the game's code.
it worked!! thx
Hey... i have a question
I click on change skin and nothing happens
When doing multiplay, do the guests use their own savefiles? Or does it not get saved at all?
What does it mean when the SpritePacker says "Check before Replace" even though you checked before?
you are using the default skin
it's their own saves and whatnot
I clicked on change skin and nothing happened
there is no skin for you to change into
Hi! I'm new here and I have a question about modding...
so i installed a mod called the 'art' mod what does it do and why is everything weird?
I am a casual player and wanted custom skins. I followed the instructions to download modinstaller for mac and I got it all to work! However, everytime it's working, my ps4 controller (connected through usb) stops working completely! I did notice modding api is out of date... does anyone know what's going on?
use joytokey
what's joytokey 😅
Make sure you tell the api to update, unless it say's it's out of date over and over
And Joytokey (or Joy2Key) are remapping programs
oh how would I do that? Sorry about all the questions, never done this before! Thank you for the help
Macs and some controllers get all wonky with mods
so you need to use a program that tells your computer that all of the controller inputs are actually keyboard inputs
which is what that program does
Check the pins for Mod summaries and a list of ReadMe files for mods
thanks
oh so joytokey is a program that I can download?
You need to actually download and install skins. It doesn't come with any. There are links to Gdrives of skins in the pins 
yeah i used to have problems with controllers in general even before this... thank you so much for the help!!
also how would I go about doing this?
In mod installer, click the "out of date" box
oh yes i've been doing this and every once in a while it shows out of date again
hm doesn't seem like joytokey is compatible with mac, any alternatives?
This is already very helpful, thank you so much
i was using the language support mod and i edited a bunch of the text but it doesnt work in game
can someone help?
yes, it doesn't change text, but only adds additional languages, which are normally not supported by hk
oh it doesnt change the text?
yea
would it still be possible to translate all of hollow knight to another language then
yes
how would i do that?
this details how to do that https://github.com/SFGrenade/LanguageSupport/blob/master/ReadMe.md
the heading "Making additional translations"
oh alright thank you
Hi, can someone tell me the correct mod installer to download
the one in the pins
there are so many in the pins
