Gimme a minute
So, Valkyrie, I'm assuming you uninstalled and reinstalled Debug already. Is benchwarp menu showing up in game?
incoming wall of text sorry
the thing with exaltation is just that there are a few issues that are annoying to work around
- the version in the installer is not the newest version, it has the same version number as the github one but is missing sagesoul and primal womb, and not all the charms are gotten via the same methods as in the glorification list on said github.
- i discovered a new bug today with lifeseed lantern (glorified compass) where if you have the lifeblood mask that it gives you, then any hit that does more than one damage will get magnified, i tested it on the fourth white defender fight where he does 4 damage to you, when you have the extra mask it makes you take 7 damage, but then any hits after that go back to 4, it made ascended absolute radiance to 7 damage to me as well.
- steel tempest is a downgrade over quick slash imo, but thats more a gripe rather than a bug/issue, as it reduces damage for uncapped swing speed, however bosses do get some i-frames and cant be hit as often as you can now swing, and so your overall dps goes down
I deleted bent warp
so i tried going to the place the pin sends me to and it dosent show up
You can try manually installing the github one, or maybe sagesoul and primal womb are just broken. Steel tempest does seem like a bit of a downgrade but eh, and it's just a small modder i assume so bugs are bound to happen. I get your complaints but gotta keep in mind mods are usually put out fast and made by small teams. But yea maybe try lightbringer, not purely charm based but it was neat and changed some charms
My room is barely lit
so i tried copy pasting the location in the pin and searching and nothing came up
yea
hit win+r
and paste in "%APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ "
np
well nvm turns out the second point isnt exclusive to exaltation, i just tested out lifeblood heart on an exaltation free file and 5th white defender did 9 damage, so it has something to do with lifeblood masks and taken damage. is that some bug that is known or could one of my other mods be doing that? im only using these other mods
I think even just the modding api makes minor changes so it could be any of em like sfcore vasi qol modcommon, or it could be vanilla.
is there any kind of known bugs list for the vanilla game? i can't find anything on the wiki or through google
makes lifeblood masks pretty awful to use, but i feel like its not a hard bug to run into, so it seems hard to believe noone is talking about it if its vanilla, which makes me think its a mod problem
or nobody uses lifeblood lol
well i just did some testing, i removed everything but the moddingapi and it still happened, so i guess its a vanilla bug,
it only seems to happen when you take a hit of 4 or more, so only like ascended pure vessel, 4th and 5th white defender, ascended nightmare grimm, and ascended absolute radiance, but still, makes using lifeblood masks seem pretty awful
and any ascended boss with 2 mask damage like sly
and it may be a moddingapi thing not sure if thats how it works but
i doubt it, but im more suprised at how noone has caught or talked about this bug, it seems super easy to run into, and this discord server alone has 100,000 people in it, but its hard to find any info anywhere of people encountering this
dont think people doing ascended bosses need lifeblood
by that point they're probably familiar enough with bosses that they can take minimal hits
yeah, but youd think atleast one person would have maybe had this issue before. makes me feel like im crazy or its something on my end
I may need help figuring out how to play with the randomizer. I've done everything I can think of/find and it isn't showing up anywhere in my game's main menu. Idk what I'm doing wrong.
so im trying to mod but it wont let me select the mods i want. its only allowing me to sellect hell mod...
My mod installer also isn't showing any of the mods I have right now, idk if that's weird
You have the game on steam right?
Yes
Can you navigate to the files for the game?
Yes, the mods folder for it is open right now since I'm trying to see if I can find anything out of place
Is it empty?
No, there's plenty in it, including the .dll for the randomizer
Are any of the mods working in game?
Some of them, but only the ones I installed some time ago.
Hmm, have you updated the mod installer recently? And did you make sure you have the pre-requisite mods like mod common, sfcore, vasi, etc.?
If it's only mods from some time ago maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling mod common and such
I don't know where to get all the prerequisites. I searched them by name so I would sure hope I have them, but I could have missed something...
Check the readme of rando 3
Okay
It should have the pre reqs in them
I can't find SereCore anywhere, I tried and what I ended up with was SeanprCore.dll
Hmmmm, might mean your modinstaller is out of date
I just redownloaded it... hold on.
I redownloaded it again from the link on the wiki. I still don't have SereCore
there's a link in the discord
https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe was this the link?
That was the link
ok i fixed my first problem... but now my mods are not loading up in game?
Okay so, maybe try putting serecore in manually from the google drive in pins
Can you elaborate?
how do i actually have the mods turn on? like they are not on i think? i have them downloaded and even installed them but they are not working at all.
Does it say anything in the top left of your main menu?
nope
hmm, can you navigate to your mods folder?
yea
just so this is clear this is my first time modding HK so something might be wrong but as far as im aware of i think i did everything right...
It seems to be working for me now. Thank you.
I'm also not the most well acquainted with modding and technical things but I've picked up a lot from lurking and my own experience so I'll do my best
No problem. Good luck
i click the mod installer (found it in the pins) click maunualy instal a mod. instal the mod i want. (im choosing a randomizer cause i think i should be able to see the difference right away without having to open too much and start a world.) but it doesnt actually do anything... when i open hollowknight its just regular HK. is there something im missing?
Yea so, assuming you installed randomizer 3, you need a couple pre requisite mods
Specifically, SFcore, SereCore, QoL, Modcommon, and Vasi
i have those downloaded as well.
Hmm
ok im deleting all my mods and restarting from scratch. what do i do?
Why are you installing them manually btw?
because the installer doesnt want to do it not automatically...
I've been searching here myself for a bit cause I've been having the same "ModInstaller2 crashes when disabling a mod" problem as some others (thanks ctrl+f) and after inferring from TamiJo's comment that there should be a "disabled" folder in the "Mods" folder because it wasn't automatically created, I simply made one and disabling mods via the installer works perfectly. Hope this helps!
Error from log to help future searches:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path.
Edit: I've found now that this does not apply to the API mod itself.
Uhh, should probably fix that. What does it tell you when that happens?
i tried what they said earlier. didnt work. i dont have the folders that they say to delete. and such
Which file is missing? The mods folder?
hollow_knight_data
Can you send a picture of your mods folder then?
WTF?!?! its there now?!?!
I don't see how it couldn't be there unless something was severly wrong
nope didnt do it.
The modinstaller is on your desktop and you ran it as administrator?
yep
And it still gave you the error?
yep
did you do that reset the installer step?
yep
Hmmm
ok im deleting everything and redoing it completly...
Yea probably the best choice
Verify the game integrity on steam before you start again too
uh what?
You just deleted the mods folder and mod installer right?
Or did you delete the entire hollow knight folder
just mod foulder and mod installer
Hmm okay
now i just uninstalled hk because of this... UGH... this better be worth it...
go to steam, right click hollow knight, hit properties, hit local files, and verify game integrity
ive been playing it for about 6 months and this was the first game i ever bought when i got my debit card. i can already garrenty its integrity.
though i cant say the same for my spelling LOL
thats not what that means
im not saying you have a fake game, verifying the integrity just makes sure everything is there thats supposed to be there
i was playing it moments ago. how could there not be?
it just helps, and it essentially resets it to vanilla because theres a little bit more stuff in a different file
fair. well im reinstalling HK all together since i couldnt even open the game after that...
that doesnt change the stuff in the other file
i uninstalled everything and am now reinstaling it from scratch. it would have to create all those files wouldnt it?
There's also the "moddingapi" in the saves, ever noticed how reinstalling doesnt ruin your saves?
it worked.
Oh nice
i deleted that. (i had a problemt with corrupt save on a different game. i know a little about where i have to go
ok it says something new...
Aw damn, what's it say?
a new error...
Pic?
i find it funny cause you did mention that.
do i have to run the game before i can do this? i never did start up HK after reinstalling it/
It might help
well either way something did change. it actually had all my mods ready now and i didnt need to manuly add them. so its good enough đ
So is it working or no?
Fixed?
yep
basicaly i just needed to not be a dumba** LOL
Hi all, for some reason the randomapmod from the mod installer does not work. I installed it but do not see it in game. (all other mods work fine). Am I missing something? thanks a lot!
Do you see it in the top left of the main menu?
hmmm
Maybe it is there until I get the first set of map?
It might not work on pre existing saves, try making a new one
Ok, I will try it. Thanks a bunch!
Np
Is it possible to mod hollow knight on pc if you installed it from Xbox gamepass ?
I don't think so
alright thank you
The one on the installer is activated by talking to Elderbug, but it won't work if you've already talked to him in that save.
That being said, it's a really out of date version: this is the current version https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/837547403258626088/RandoMapMod.dll.
With the newer version, you can give yourself the maps with Ctrl + M
Hiya, having some troubles with the mod installer. I just tried to install QoL
It's because of Vasi.
Go to your /Mods folder, and extract the vasi.dll from the vasi.zip folder, then delete vasi.zip
If you need more help with it, lmk
close installer and open it again
I was just about to say that this was exactly what fixed it
thanks ^w^
I didn't think to say that lol
I forgot that that didn't auto close it when it gave that exception

Okay, one last question: if I wanted to make my custom knight the default, would i simply delete the default folder? rename it?
You can rename the default folder to something else and rename the one you want as default, that will work, yes
I suggest you don't delete the default skin, though
You may need it at another point to help fix other skins

I have a little problem with my randomizer. When I start a new savefile, I get sent into Kings Pass, but I can't see my character and can't use any buttons. Does anyone know why this is?
Sounds like modding dependency mods
QoL
I had mod common, serecore, benchwarp. I read on a forum, that that was all that was needed
But thanks đ
Always check the mods readme mate it has needed info
ah yes
Randomizer 3 requires SereCore.dll and Modding Api version 53 or greater to run. These are both automatically downloaded by the ModInstaller.
im new to modding (im on mac btw), and when i open the game my inputs aren't going through. it detects my controller (switch pro controller) but nothing i do does anything. i've read the pinned comments and tried following the instructions but they didnt work either
anyone able to help?
ok,ok jeez
no luck
does anyone know why mantis gods wont work?
i got it from the mod list and it dosent seem different
Are you in godseeker mode?
ye
ah
also on the console mod can you force equip charms like carefree or will it equip grimmchild?
I mean you can but like just close the game and save edit
save edit?
i meant the mod that gives you a console to change nail damage and stuff not a mod for the console version
Yea editing the save file cuz it's easier
is this it? https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
From the console to equip carefree you could try PlayerData.instance.grimmChildLevel = 5
And then
PlayerData.instance.equippedCharm_40 = true
You could use this or QoL mod
why not use debug
Hello, I have a question. Is it possible to mod hollow knight on cracked? I'm just asking I have it on steam but I just wonder can you guys tell me if you know?
Ok. So you have it on steam. Why would you want to mod a cracked version?
Letâs just state it like this. With knowledge it is possible. Without it is very hard. Also, donât expect anyone here to help with modding a cracked version
Okay thanks
Sorry
there's also that one pin saying
- I pirated the game and want to play with mods.
+ Buy the game. Don't waste everyone else's time by lying or complaining that ModInstaller doesn't work.
Oh my god, stop telling people they can mod the pirated game
FFS
That encourages people to pirate and mod it
Just tell them they can't. Problem solved.
I would legit ask a mod to delete every message indicating it's possible (including these ones)
Well, given that they pirated the game my guess is that they donât have any experience making games/programming. Otherwise they would understand how much work it is and they would pay for it. Following that logic it is safe to say that it is possible since they will never be able to do that
me just gonna remove most my messages from the past few things, edit: done
How exactly would I replace the Shade music in the game with something else?
#archived-modding-development probably replacing some stuff in a Fsm or audio snapshot stuff
Sorry, I didnt read the channel description. I'll go to that channel more often, thanks! Also, thanks for the advice as well
hi there. I have installed randomizer 3 through the mod installer and it works and then in its readme i found the link to the randomizer map
https://github.com/homothetyhk/RandomizerTracker/releases
I have downloaded the zip but I don't know what to do with the files.
Having problems using skins in HK. I did everything I was supposed to but it won't change the skin.
Well you didnât do everything you were supposed to then
Screenshot the pause menu
If you extract it is there a .dll file?
You know what... Fair enough... Should have seen that response coming.... I can't take a screenshot cause pc is acting up. But when I have the pause menu it gives me access to a list of skins and at the top it says "change skin" and "default" but if I click default it turns my entire sprite into a white block. And if I click any other skin it doesn't update it. I just stay at my default skin.
here's a list of the files it contains @wheat orchid
Well you kinda need to screenshot if I am to help you
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Did you try running the exe
yes, i'll send a screenshot of what happens
Pretty sure you just extract everything to like desktop and run the exe
And the map gets built as you play
@real jacinth this ui pops up
So what's the issue
@real jacinth oh so i just need to start the game and run the exe?]
It build a map while you play room randomizer
since everything's blank i thought there's something wrong
...well thereâs nothing for it to track yet
OHHH!
Yeah. It's not receiving any data. So why would it make anything. Lol
đ
So... i was trying the mods, then i realise my nail is not giving any damage, can anyone help ?
Did you use debug mod and lower your damage
i check that, nope
What mods did you use
It doesnât matter if you still have mods or not
Nail damage is stored in your save files
So if itâs changed at all by any mod, it doesnât matter if you uninstall the mod
but never changed that
Inb4 "debug"
They said they didnât....
i checked my nail damage too
okey wait a minute
On purpose
It says 0
i am pressing the + but still not effecting
How do you know?
So pressing = does nothing?
doing nothing
try rebinding i guess and then go from there
Click the white dot next to it on the binds menu and press the key you want to be for increasing nail damage
is it normally 1
how i install de brumms white palace?
You install the decoration master mod and put the .json files for the rooms in the data folder for it
where i install the decoration master mod?
Here's my guide on installing and using the DecorationMaster Mod, a mod which lets you both customize levels and play other people's customized levels! Credits to Sawyer and shoutouts to 56.
DOWNLOADS:
https://github.com/a2659802/HollowKnight.Decoration/releases
Under "Assets", download DecorationMaster.dll.
how i use the modinstaller 2 to manually install mods?
You can't
Just open the mods folder manually
Game files -> hollow_knight_Data -> managed -> mods
so i just put in there?
Put the dll in there and then open the game to generate the folder
okay
Then close it and put the JSON files from #modding-discussion pins into the folder
So i have this problem that since i got mods for hollow knight my healing broke so now i heal 10 mask with 1 soul vessel i already did everything delete mods deleted and installed hollow knight but nothing works
thanks man
There are methods to fix it in the pins btw 
i need help
im trying to reset the modinstaller bc for some reason i cant heal in the phantoms anymore after i downloaded mods
and it says it cant find the vanilla hollow knight folder
how do i manually delete the mods
Resetting the installer doesnât help that....
What mods did you use in the save where you canât heal
im really not sure
i downloaded hollow point, grassy knight and QoL
and somehow it downloaded other stuff for me
I blame Hollow point
Also it downloaded other stuff since hollow point and Qol depend on modcommon and Vasi to work
Look in hollow pointâs readme on how to fix the healing
k
There's a whole pin about fixing healing
thought it would be easier to ask
With Qol itâs slightly easier(you donât need to go online for a save editor, you can just go to your save files and edit json files in a text editor)
oki thanks
Well at first you should have explained that then
The easiest method these days is Mulhima's mod, that just automatically fixes it lol
Oh, I forgot about that
AMONG US
anyone know how i can download the modinstaller?
?I would do it from the link below
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Did you use mods a long time ago?
yeah
It's from bad mod installer memory from the old installer
There's a few pins about it 
You'll need to reset your mod installer data (I posted a .bat that's pinned that will do that automatically for you), and you'll need to delete your /Mods folder
After you do both things, relaunch the installer that you just downloaded
also works fo me, thanks!!!
For Hollow Point, it's not letting me switch to the gun, apparently you're supposed to switch with the cast button, so i'm not sure if i need vengeful spirit or this is just a bug, thanks!
Read the readme
r there any mods that make the white palace harder (not pain of the path)
Chaos mod
Decomaster mod
Yes
As long as you can get to the room before pop then you can do it
You should also read itâs readme
well yes
but its not very informative
This mod adds a platforming section to the White Palace.
This platforming section is called "Test of Teamwork".This mod is build quest-like, with it's start being a conversation with someone familiar in and around Dirtmouth.
with a typo
SFG fix your readme the word "plaforming" needs to be "platforming"
This mod is build quest-like, with it's start being a conversation with someone familiar in and around Dirtmouth.

I hope this is the right place to ask, but I want to install the Hollow Points mod for Hollow Knight (Steam Edition), but I haven't modded this game at all (and most of my modded games are via the Workshop), so I'd like someone to help walk me through this?
First, I suggest you check out the hollow point readme and read it through fully. There are a few gotchas that you need to be aware of
Next: look at the room topic and download the ModInstaller.
Downloaded the modinstaller.
It's actually somewhat straight-forward and I think you'll get it for the most part. You run ModInstaller and enable the ModdingAPI then install all pre-requisite mods as well as hollow point.
Is that so? I know some mods are highly complicated, and my friend said this one might be, so I wanted an extra hand.
That's what I meant by read the README, this one can be confusing in how it works in-game
Not necessarily for installation
Ah. I see. I'll try to keep that in mind.
Caveat here is that I've never installed it. But enough people have come in with questions about it that I have some idea of what to suggest
Thanks. Running the game now.
Seems to be running smoothly. I can figure out the rest from here. Wasn't expecting the modinstaller to have it there already.
Thanks for your help.
I'll actually play the mod when my friend gets home.

If you're using the Multiplayer mods that are on Mod Installer, then check the pins
for the Troubleshooting info.
I would personally recommend using HKMP instead ( https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP ) though. There's info on the page I linked, and it has a support server if you have Qs about it
thank you
Probably no. The creator of this mod is giving up few years ago.
alright, thanks for letting me know!
In the in-game settings, open the mods option and screenshot
In the in-game settings, open the mods option and enable QoL
Ah thx
not sure if it's modding related but, is there a way to change some keybinds actions ?
i wanted to try to play with keyboard and bound my attack to left click, jump to right click, and the rest on normal keys
after that i couldn't close menus in godhome (when entering a pantheon)
left click would close menu and right click would be the select button (which is unplayable and i don't want to get used to this)
use movement keys + enter to naviggate through menus
cuz jump is also a select button i think
but enter is no where near my hands, it doesn't feel right at all
and it doesn't change the fact that i cant close some menus
close menus is focus
i tried everysingle keys, it didn't work
i didn't change my focus key, but after resetting keybinds to default, i could close menus again
i checked the beta patch, i guess it will be fixed eventually https://puu.sh/HGOIO/9a74749d24.png
qol means invalid runs though
so, dont have to close menu's
quotting my initial question " is there a way to change some keybinds actions ?"
so i can't make the select button be left click
enter?
you can only change the keybinds found in the options menu
well rip then, i'll stick with controller
but if jump is right click then why not use right click
because the game should adapt to my needs and not the reverse
left clicking to enter is universal, i don't want it to be right click out of nowhere, it doesn't feel right and it's annoying
well then go complain to team cherry
you could bind enter to a key you're confortable with using a program like autohotkey
will post a comment in the beta thread yes

I have mods installed, but when I open hk they arn't there.

Hi, I was wondering if the mod installer works on Mac computers or just PC?
There is a Mac installer in the pins
Ah, thanks, I probably should have checked those
Delete the multiple installs
That has not seemed to work
Screenshot installer
which part?
The whole installer
If you have/had multiple installs, then Mod Installer was most likely looking at a different one than what you were launching.
When you first run it, it has you confirm that it's using the correct path, which is you didn't check, was probably not the one you wanted.
If you deleted the other installs (which, you can have multiple installs, although it only really matters for downpatching), but it's still not working, then you'll need to reset the installer.
Did you install and enable Modding API?
benchwarp
Benchwarp shouldn't make the game run vanilla
It just causes a loading bug, right?
What do you mean?
Or was it causing a no mods to show up bug too?
There's a pinned message about some bugs, including Benchwarp occasionally doing weird things for people
ah, it did that once, but I fixed it.
Personally, I think you need to reset the installer to fix the path. Try closing the installer, and resetting it.
You can easily reset it by downloading and running the .bat file in the pins. If you prefer to Manually do it, there's a pinned message about how to reset it.
If you want to be thorough, you can go to your saves folder and delete the Benchwarp global settings as well, in case it is that.
randomap mod doesn't work
Idk if it counts, or if this is the right chat for this but, I've seen a video where people played hollow knight in multiplayer, I would really like to try that out with my friends (or siblings) , and since I'm new to this whole hollow knight thing, how do I do, anything?
you first have to download the modinstaller
Ok
Check the mods option in in-game settings
What do you mean by "it doesn't work"?
I was trying to revert back to unmodded but this came up and I dont know what to do
Do as it says
Well, apart from the last bit
Go to your install on Steam or Good Old Games and verify the integrity of game files
But then don't reopen the installer because that will make it modded again
Somebody should change that pop-up it's actually kind of garbage
I was just little confused bc after I relaunched it was modded again
yea...
It sounds like a general fail, and also tells you to do something that would undo verifying the game files
can someone help me or know whats wrong in the gun mod my gun does no damage
Did you read the readme
idk
I have it in the files
but it doesn't shows up in game
What are you doing? What is the expected result? What is the actual result?
No that's not a thing
it doesn't
What are you actually doing in game?
Are you pressing jump?
a
Do you have maps?
yes
Have you picked them up?
yes
Okay, thank you
I bought them
The maps just show the regular in game maps?
yes
Are you playing a new Randomized World?
Ctrl m?
yes
Can you screenshot your map?
what does that do
Magic
it is a map
Ctrl+M gives you all maps
Fwiw, that only works on the newest version, that's not on the installer yet
Rip
The ones from the channel or the ones from the installer?
the one from the speedrun community discord
So ctrl m should work
do I need every maps for the mod to work ?
No
They said they have maps that's not helpful
I would say that you should delete and then redownload it from the main channel.
Also, you may have accidentally hidden the pins?
Try pressing ctrl+p
did it twice
I'll try ctrl+p
so my multiplayer mod isn't working and i've been trying all i can think of is there any way you can help my mortal existence?
Pins
i did what the pins said it would not work
hello guys , ive just installed the multiplayer mod , how do i get each player to have their own custom skins
enable customknight with the multiplayer server mod I'm sure (i think idk)

You canât with the mod installerâs multiplayer mod
Tell me the steps you went through then
Hey so just yesterday I had to verify my hollow knight files integrity and now my skins wont appear in game can I have some help
Verifying integrity removed mods
do you have to join a hamachi network because i forgot to try that
So open the mod installer again and it should reinstall it
do i need some other mod ?
Yes or else you port forward
Donât tell people you followed all the directions when you havenât
i didn't see
HKMP has skins but doesnât use the CustomKnight mod
alright thanks
What extra things do you need to run the randomizer mods?
Modcommon, serecore, Vasi
how to i join thru hamachi?
Qol is required for skips
You follow the directions in the pins
im trying to get the seanpr core mod but the drive is down
Thatâs the old drive link
Also you can get Serecore(the new ver) from the installer
My files broke again when i reinstalled the installer
They say loading?
yep
Look in the pins
what am I looking for
A pin that explains the problem youâre having
is it the top pin
I can't open my map. Is there a mod that can cause that or no?
Hey , i downloaded hkmp and we now have different skins but i cannot see his one
other player is still default
same on his screen
Probs wanna ask on the hkmp server
did you do what the readme said?
ye i didnt , i know what to do now dw
its asking for some skin ID
but still not sure what that means
So, I'm a newbie to HK modding, and I'm running into an issue when I die occasionally.
I'm using Benchwarp, CustomKnight, DebugMod, and Easy Mode. And about once every three deaths, instead of just going back to the bench, my screen shows the dream area and I can't interact with the game at all.
The Knight isn't on the screen, but I can hear it when I swing my nail, however, no other inputs work, including trying to pause or pull open my inventory
And it requires a hard restart to become playable again
try disabling easy mode
hey uh i have a really silly question
but in the white palace what triggers the ability to sit on the throne?
because i invincibilitied the second half (after the last bench) and when i reach the throne room there is no sit option
dont pick up the king charm
after you pickup the white fragment then you cant sit anymore
anybody willing to take a screen share to help me see what i goofed bc i have HKrando working but not multiworld
i only have the queen's half tho
uhh so i download HKMP mod i clicked start hosting and it says invalid port
i put 26950 port
enter a port
on the console thingy
make sure that the port you enter in the console is the same as in the mod ui
where can i see it ?
ok.
?
i have randomizer working and added multiworld files to folder but when i open HK i get no multiworld option not sure where im goofing up any advice?
Did you follow the pinned message in #randomizer
how do you setup multiplayer?

Hey I've been struggling to get customknight to work I've installed modinstaller and enabled a variety of other mods, and all of them have worked so far. However, customknight hasnt been showing up for me with custom skins, and I was wondering if there were any common problems that I would need to fix
yes
also yes
unless it uninstalled itself since my rando race this morning
nope ive still got it
beware that the path for your skins needs to be: mods(folder) -> Custom knight(folder) -> skinname(folder) -> png's(skin images)
yup
i have a lil problem
i have a thing called binds on the side of my screen
i dont know how to turn it off
F1
thank you
debug mod
yep
I've been trying to get the multiplayer mod to work for the last 2 hours, I have hamachi installed, we but connect and we can't see each other. Every guide I've looked up tells me to get the client.dll but they never say where to get it. I have modcommon installed and everything, what am I doing wrong?
Hey I have a quick question
Will the ModInstaller work for the Windows Store version of the game?
:(
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Does anyone know why this happens? i tried re-installing the launcher and it still gives the same error (if i click continue it just opens an empty modlauncher)

Hello. I am not much of a discord person. But I was told that this was the place to come for help on Hollow Knight Mods. I have installed only the Unnofical patch, but now I find that pressing F12 on my steam installation of it with the patch installed no longer takes screenshots. how can I get screenshots of the fixed Pure vessel Statue in Godhome?
can someone help me with installing nekomata skin
You need to get Custom Knight and Mod Common
Then download the skin, and navigate to your Custom Knight folder in your game files. Paste the skin there, making sure the file structure matches exactly to the default skin.
hey ya'll, I'm trying to use the debug mod for invincibility (im not skilled enough for the white palace) and i cant figure out how to use it. any help would b appreciated
Once you figure out which key opens the debug interface, I think the rest was easy. But if you don't get the game paused first, I remember it was really frustrating.
Verify your game integrity
how?
now my game wont even open đ its such on the title screen
I can get the debug interface open, but i cant use it for anything
wait nvm I think i figured it out
once i verify the integrity it still gives me the same message
if i just delete the installer will my nail damage reset to normal?
no, that has to be done through either save editing or debug mod
Just verify game files and stop there. That makes your game vanilla
rn it's doing the "unable to locate game files. please make sure the game is installed and then try again"
it is installed (i can play, ill check rq if it just needs to load it to find the files), however the actual steamapps folder is in a different storage space than it used to be when i first got the installer. i can't find the option to re-locate where the installer is searching for the game files
yeah i loaded the game and its still doing it 
the game also has different saves than it does on the other computer i usually use, and doesn't show mods i had previously installed
saves issue is most likely due to playing while on offline mode a while back. oops
what's the base damage for a fully upgraded nail?
21
thanks
disconnect controller, reconnect once main menu loads
I don't even play on controller, I play on keyboard
then idk
I send crash file?
Oh one thing, maybe bad but I have cracked hollow knight, that affects?
I just love the game but I don't have money for games xDDD
Buy the game
yikes
I can't mod it without buying it?
I love it and I would buy it if I'd have money
I'm a kid, man
Don't care
We don't endorse thievery
Especially on the official discord. Y'know.... Where the devs are
Unfortunately, that version isn't moddable. Only the Steam and GOG versions are.
You can keep an eye on this site for a sale on a compatible version: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/info/ (note that many sites like Humble Bundle sell the games on the form of steam keys)
It goes on sale for about $8 USD pretty frequently
back again, sorry I downloaded the Randomizer 3 mod on ModInstaller 2, and I think it's kind of breaking the game? Basically whenever I sit at a bench the movement controls stop working, and when I die it just stays as a black screen? Not sure if it's just because I'm on Mac or if it's conflicting with other mods I have on
Do you have all of the decencies installed and enabled? (ModCommon, and Vasi)?
ModCommon, Vasi, and SereCore are all installed and enabled
Are you playing on a new file (made with Randomizer)?
That I am, I've tried it around three times (albeit only with the Dirtmouth bench) and it's always the same
You may want to try closing it completely, uninstalling Vasi and reinstalling it.
That sounds like the kind of issues that happen when vasi isn't installed.
I'll give that a shot, brb
Should Vasi be showing up in the top left corner of the main menu? The ModInstaller says it's enabled and whatnot, but it's not showing up there
Sure, let me see if I can find the lil ctrl+shift+g thing to copy/paste real quick

Idk mac stuff super well, so I'm unsure if that works perfectly
I'm not used to a tilde being in a path
That just brings up the app
Did you attempt to manually install some mods at one point?
I have not, no
I'm gonna test something really quick, 1 min
Coolio
Definitely delete these...
I need to figure out who to ping about Charm Overhaul, because it is putting the entire source code in the folder for some reason, and as far as I can tell, not the dll at all
Probably a good idea to get rid of better charms and bonfire too.
Ah, gotcha
Generally not a good idea to have multiple mods on that make huge changes at the same time
Noted
Changes have been made
Mickely, idk if you wanna check when you're able to next, but I just tested adding Charm Overhaul with MI1 and MI2, and I definitely just get the SOURCE folder, which contains the csproj files.
That seems like not something that should be in the mods folder, although IDK if the API actually sees them or not (I only worry about it considering vasi.zip breaks things lol)
Any other things I should do, or should I fire it up and give it a go?
It also puts the better charms dll there too tho right
The api doesn't see sub folders or try to run them
Vasi still ain't showing up on the main menu for some reason
Apparently I was wrong, and Vasi is too good to be in the corner text 
Fair enough, fancy mod 
||I feel like this is a flaw ಠ_ಠ||
||Perhaps||
Mmkay gonna go try sitting at a bench again
Hollow Knight please work I just want a drop of entertainment streaming in vc
Hi all, does somebody has the map mod? I kind of want the plain vanilla with all the stuff rather than the randomap one that spoils the fun. Thanks!
What does "Map Mod" do?
Well dying works now at least
If you want regular maps, uninstall randomapmod
Just tells you where everything is, even if the game is randomized if in place A there is a geo rock it shows a geo rock even if in reality there is claw due randomizer
That's all the mod does.
Adds the pins
If you don't want that, don't use it
So, unsure what your question is
RandoMapMod uses different types of pins to signify what the "check" originally was in vanilla.
Which corresponds to different tihngs that you can randomize.
aaaa the benches work
Thank y'all so much 
So all check areas that were originally grubs, will have Grub pins on the map, but the actual item there isn't necessarily a grub
Alright, makes sense, thanks DwarfWoot and Mickely đ
And the pins dynamically change based on what you can currently reach
Based on your randomizer difficulty settings
And current items
It's to help people learn what they can get and to not think they're stuck
For what it's worth, AFAIK the version on ModInstaller is still not updated (they are testing out updates).
This is the current version (that works with current Randomizer and MultiWorld):
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/837547403258626088/RandoMapMod.dll.
With the newer version, you can give yourself the maps with Ctrl + M

if a problem happens, describe it or show a screenshot and we will try to help you ^^
can someone give me a godseeker save i need to test something out
also ping me to give it to me cuz i will be afk
Go to speedrun.com for that
Each has a notable advantage over the other:
- 2 lets you see Mod Descriptions
- 1 lets you see any mods you manually installed (which don't show up on 2)
Overall, I like 2 more, but I use 1 more often because I have a few mods that aren't on Mod Installer.
Right. Thank you for the description.
I didn't know you could have both installed at once
What do you mean?
thanks

Where can I find the version of Customknight that displays the icons in the menu?
probably a old version somewhere
idk if this is the right channel but i'm trying to use multiplayer mod with my friend and he doesnt appear
The icons were removed because they were causing issues with the game
oh i see
How could some simple images cause such a big problem though?
@ redfrog please tell me customknight+ will have something like those again
afaik it caused a lot of lag and potentially induced more vram-related crashes
oh yeah is there a way to edit sprites of inventory items

You can edit charms
I dunno believe you can edit things like Claw etc
Through custom knight, at least
not through customknight
but its possible
someone asked for it in #archived-modding-development but Redfrog fixed it via dm's with that person
i downloaded the room randomizer and everything that came with it. I had made a bench with the benchwarp thing and saved on it. now the problem is none of my save files are saving not even the other ones that arent room randomised. for example i wake up on my main save file in royal waterways and go to sit at a bench in fungal wastes. when i close the game and come back its still in the waterways. now i cant even press the exit to main menu because it just doesnt work. i tried reinstalling the game but still no luck. i have the game on steam. if anyone has a solution i would be very happy. or if there is a way to completely reset the game let me know. also if i create a new save it works until the bench in dirthmouth. sorry for any grammar mistakes.
You can clear out your Benchwarp settings in case that's the culprit, I'm not 100% sure that that'll fix it, but it's probably the best place to start.
If you use MoreSaves- there's a a bug that some people experience where one save overwrites a different one entirely.
what mods do i need to get so i can do multiplayer
Multiplayer Client and Multiplayer Server?
I would recommend using HKMP for Multiplayer these days: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
It's actively being developed, not to mention it is more intuitive, and more stable than the one in Mod Installer. There's a link to a dedicated support server on that page if you have questions about it.
Otherwise, if you want to use the mod installer version, then read the multiplayer pinned message.
ok ty :)
