[sacred jackal]

Does randomizer affect saves that aren't the save being randomized?

[pliant lantern]

Yes

If you open them with it installed

You shouldn't open a vanilla save with any mods if you intend on keeping that save as "vanilla"

Iirc opening a vanilla save with randomizer will break seer and grub father. Probably other stuff too, but I can't remember it all

[sacred jackal]

what happens if I disable randomizer with a randomizer save active?

[pliant lantern]

What do you mean?

[gloomy coral]

Why would you want to do that tho?

[sacred jackal]

well let me rephrase

[limber egret]

If you don't open it it will be fine

[sacred jackal]

what happens if I disable randomizer in the mod installer, then open the randomizer save

[limber egret]

If you open it anything could happen.

[pliant lantern]

The Rando stuff will break

I have done this before. It's very sad

[sacred jackal]

So in other words, there's no method by which I can practice pantheon of hallownest on a vanilla save, and then immediately switch over to a randomized save and keep playing.

[limber egret]

You would have to close the game first

But it only adds like a minute

[pliant lantern]

Oh

[limber egret]

Close the game, reenable or disable Randomizer (as appropriate) and then reopen the game

[sacred jackal]

[gloomy coral]

If disabling rando is something you don't wanna do you can make multiple installs and open the one you wanna play

[sacred jackal]

alright then

no, I'm fine with that. Just a minor inconvenience.

[pliant lantern]

I can upload a .bat that I have/use to quickly switch between vanilla and rando, if you're trying to not open mod installer often.

[novel bronze]

is it normal if my modinstaller keeps reinstalling modcommon every single time ?

[gloomy coral]

Probs not

Does it say something before installing mod common

[novel bronze]

no, but everytime i wanna install some new modded boss, it just keeps reinstalling modcommon

[fair briar]

most likely because they need modcommon

try installing QoL

see if it also installs modcommon

[novel bronze]

like for example if i install inferno king grimm, the boss need weaver core. I already had weavercore installed, but when i clicked install IKG, it will reinstall weavercore again

it's for every mod that need another mod to work, it will download that same mod even though i already had it installed

[gloomy coral]

Doesn't sound like a problem

I thought it installed without asking

[pliant lantern]

Out of curiosity, which Mod Installer are you using?

And did you move it out of your downloads folder?

[novel bronze]

Im now using the modinstaller v8.7.1 and i did move it out of my download folder

[pliant lantern]

I don't think it actually redownloads them, rather it just tells you that it needs them, although I could be wrong.
That being said, once things are downloaded, you can just disable them, so you won't have to to it all more than once.

[novel bronze]

can i post screenshot here ?

no wait i dont really need to lol, basically when i click to download a mod, it just download the other mod all over again, there's even a download progress bar and everthing

just now, i downloaded custom knight, and the modinstaller decided to download modcommon again even though it downloaded that mod a bunch of time by now

[pliant lantern]

Yeah, I know that's what it says; I was going to check the mod folder later to see if it actually is downloading it. I'm unsure if I'll have time to hop on my computer before going to work

If it is downloading it, then there'll be a .zip until the OK button is pressed

I want to at least test it locally before bothering Gradow about it lol

[gloomy coral]

Then don't go to work

[novel bronze]

i also have these weird videos in my mod folder.... not sure where i got them

[pliant lantern]

I'm on my 11th day in a row. I don't wanna go, but capitalism dictates my life

[novel bronze]

I don't know what this is, I don't how I got it, I don't know what am i looking at, I'm scared...

[gloomy coral]

You can delete all the .png .cs and .csproj files

[pliant lantern]

That is a lot of stuff that shouldn't be in there

[gloomy coral]

The videos are from redwing Assets mod but they should be in their own folder and not in the mods folder

[pliant lantern]

They also got the custom Knight failed install bug...

[gloomy coral]

Also liscences and readmes can be deleted

There's a CK install bug?

[pliant lantern]

Basically, nothing got extracted into a folder like it should have

[novel bronze]

So I can delete all the png ? are they gonna affect my game though ? they are charms and sprites from the main game

[gloomy coral]

Also how long does it take to load the game?

[pliant lantern]

Some people have all the pngs dumped into Mods instead of the folders being made

[pliant lantern]

They are copies for custom Knight

[gloomy coral]

#archived-modding-help message

You can safely delete these as they don't do anything here

[pliant lantern]

You should probably be launching Mod Installer as Administrator.

Either it doesn't have permission to make the correct directories, or your computer is running out of memory when it's extracting.

[gloomy coral]

Isn't the sprites dumped by the mod when the game is run?

And not by the modinstaller

[pliant lantern]

probably

In that case, HK may need to be run as Admin? Or again, a memory issue

[gloomy coral]

But since the Cs and csproj from charm Overhaul also wasn't put into its own folder running as admin could fix it

[novel bronze]

I think all the mods should be working ?

i guess

But then again it doesnt show any mods i have in the mods menu

Im confused :/

[pliant lantern]

Ignore that folder

Er

Menu

[gloomy coral]

Atleast QoL should be there

[pliant lantern]

That's true. ||It's still a bad menu, but it shouldn't be empty||

[novel bronze]

and why are my geos like this now, what caused this

[gloomy coral]

This?

[ruby shore]

how do i clear the save from the bench

[gloomy coral]

Maybe you could try save editing

[pliant lantern]

Beanie,
A. Did you run HK as Admin?
B. You might be running too many mods for your computer to handle

[gloomy coral]

Or sfgreande has a benchwarp fix although idk what it actually does

[novel bronze]

Im sending an image but my internet is kinda slow

[pliant lantern]

If you're stuck on a fake bench, then you'll have to save edit. Idk if just loading with Benchwarp will fix it.

[novel bronze]

there you go

[ruby shore]

how do i edit saves

[novel bronze]

my geos are like that now, i have no idea which mod caused it

[gloomy coral]

Check pins for a hollow point fix. Follow those steps but instead of editing focus_mp ammount, edit respawn scene to like town

[gloomy coral]

That's grassy knight

[fair briar]

you have to cut all grass

[novel bronze]

alright so the mods are working... i guess, so thanks for the help guys, i still have a lot to figure out about these mods

[pliant lantern]

The Mod Summaries in the pins tells you what each mod does

[latent cosmos]

where do i find the download

for the mod installer

nvm

i got it

[hallow hearth]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAn find the google drive for all the mods

[hallow hearth]

I'm dumb thanks

[fair briar]

lol

[simple briar]

when I try to open the mod installer it shows nothing but a blank screen

[real jacinth]

Stop pinging staff

[simple briar]

I only did it once

[real jacinth]

You're not even giving all the information

[simple briar]

That is all I can go off of

[real jacinth]

There's obviously an error before this screen

Much more helpful to show that instead of a blank screen

I just started working

Well, I cant I install any mods

[wheat orchid]

[fair briar]

which mod did you try?
what was the error?

[simple briar]

The room rando

And there was no error it just did nothing when I clicked it

[wheat orchid]

Are multiple instances of the installer on? Also is hollow knight on

[simple briar]

[frozen scroll]

How can i get this with hornet skin?

I like this menu for the inventory.

I want it

[wheat orchid]

It comes with extra files that replace files in your game’s folder

[frozen scroll]

Ok

Can you tell me what assets i need to replace?

[wheat orchid]

No

They are named the same thing

So just drag everything to the hollow_knight_data folder and replace

[frozen scroll]

Ok

Im on hollow_knight_data

And now?

Ok i think i done

I did it!

[fair briar]

it wont work afaik

customknight doesnt allow custom inventory afaik

charms yes

no inventory

[frozen scroll]

I know sorry

I was wrong

But now it look like silksong.

Another question:should i remove(Not cancel)The default skin?

[wheat orchid]

Yeah not CustomKnight, did you read our conversation

[fair briar]

no lol

what mod does that

[wheat orchid]

Read

The

Conversation

Plus it’s easy to make a mod doing that

Take fyremoth for example

[fair briar]

yes, but what mod thats in the hollow knight data folder does that

or are the game files modified

[knotty scroll]

mods make my brain hurt

[drifting forge]

i have a problem with my mod installer ;_;

[knotty scroll]

neither map nor enemy rando work and i honestly have no clue why

also when i try to use gun it only shows up on my back it doesnt function

it also just makes the game lag and glitch

[west bane]

did you read the readmes on the mods

[knotty scroll]

It didnt help much

[west bane]

so you made a save without the gun mod on then exited, turned on the gun mod, and went back into the save?

[knotty scroll]

Yup and it still wouldnt let me shoot

Everything else works it just won't let me switch from the nail to the gun

Well besides the glitches

And the focusing actually heals

[gloomy coral]

Did you click on focus key ?

[gloomy coral]

Did you click on load enemy Randomizer on the title screen?

[gloomy coral]

For map, did you talk to elder bug?

[gloomy coral]

What problem?

[knotty scroll]

Sure did and nothing happened

[knotty scroll]

Nothing of the sort popped up

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot main menu

[knotty scroll]

I just deleted every file relating to mods and redid it and now its working

i have no idea what went wrong the first time

[daring geode]

This is urgent

How do I play with a friend multiplayer

We’re supposedly connected to the same IP, but we can’t see each other or anything

[pliant lantern]

Check the Multiplayer Troubleshooting message in the pins if you're using the version that's on the Mod Installer, and make sure that you both followed each step.

Personally, I'd recommend using HKMP instead (https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP), which isn't on the installer at this time, but is a lot easier to use and is actively being developed. If you choose to use it, it does have a dedicated support server linked in that GitHub page.

[daring geode]

So the one in the ModInstaller is some kind of old version?

[daring geode]

I'm sorry, but I'm so confused right now as to how I'm supposed to install the mod from the link you gave me razqwesdxfchbnkml,

[sand tide]

i already asked about this in #archived-modding-development but i'm not sure if this would be a better place to ask. has anyone here used spritepacker to create skins? i'm having a few issues and would really appreciate the help of anyone who might be a bit more experienced with the program than i am

[pliant lantern]

There's a support server linked on the github page I posted. The readme on that page has the instructions anyway.

But yes, the Multiplayer mod(s) that are currently on Mod Installer are not fully stable, and the mod was abandoned by the author, so it won't be improved. A few different people started working on trying to make better Multiplayer mods this year, but AFAIK HKMP is probably the most developed and actively worked on one.

[daring geode]

Related: Should this be updated to not have the link? The new mod installer is actually supposedly quite good, right?

[gloomy coral]

Modinstaller 2?

[limber egret]

I've seen people call it mod installer 3?

The one with tabs and that

[gloomy coral]

Currently it doesn't have a permanentky hosted link as it doesn't have auto updates

[limber egret]

The ones at the top of the pins, I assume

I'll just go with ?pins from now on then

[gloomy coral]

That's what I think is why the link hasn't been updated

[pliant lantern]

The name "Mod Installer 2" is a bit misleading imo, because neither one is better than the other, at least currently.

Advantage of each:

• Mod Installer 1 (Zote Icon) shows mods that you have manually installed; Modding API is automatically added; UI is slightly more intuitive to people.
• Mod Installer 2 shows the mod descriptions that are in Mod Links; has Mac and Linux versions.

If you pause the game in HoG, you'll be able to use a GUI to bind the keys/change the settings

Yeah, must have misread the readme

Is there a mod that lets you fight the bosses in HoG with the pantheon bindings

Been trying to do sage with nail limit, think ill get more out of practice if I have the same binding of nail damage

[gloomy coral]

you can download toggleable bindings mod

Oh is it just bindings in the mod api

[gloomy coral]

i didn't understand what you mean

[merry mantle]

I have modinstaller open and I was asking if it was the mod called "bindings"

you could do that or you could download toggleable bindings which is another mod in the installer which allows you to change bindings ingame

There's something about it in #speedrunning pins

[tropic cosmos]

Hi! sorry for the bad English .. but I would like to know if you have any mod that marks all the collectibles (worms, artifacts, medallions, etc) on the map within the game, I have seen several speedrunners with a mod named "Mapmod: 0.5.1- rc2 "but none of them mention where they got it from ... I would appreciate your help

[gloomy coral]

mapmod only works with randomizer

the name of mapmod on the installer is RandoMapMod

[tropic cosmos]

you talk about "Randomizer 3 (Item or Room) + RandoMapMod" I had already installed it but it still does not mark the points on the map, is it necessary to make any configuration before?

[limber egret]

Can you send a screenshot of the map?

[native ice]

I think you have to talk to elderbug to make it work

[limber egret]

Elderbug gives you maps but you don't need to talk to him. You can also now just press ctrl+m

[native ice]

Ah

[tropic cosmos]

I have already spoken with the old bug without results and I have also pressed Crtl + M and nothing .. am I missing something to do?

[limber egret]

Try pressing ctrl+P once?

To confirm; this is on a Randomiser save file, right?

[tropic cosmos]

am I supposed to choose a new game in "randomiser" format? And if so, how do I do it?

[limber egret]

With Randomiser enabled, simply start a new game

You should only use Randomiser saves with Randomiser enabled. It will break things like Grubfather and the Seer on regular files.

[tropic cosmos]

I see it, it was my mistake not to control that, I wanted to try to maintain my current game but I see that it will be impossible, thank you very much for your help!

[limber egret]

I believe it is fixable if you've opened up an existing save

But I'm not 100% sure, and don't know how. I think you need to save edit.

[tropic cosmos]

do you know anyone to help me?

[pliant lantern]

If someone gets the Randomizer Map Mod from Mod Installer, then it won't have the keyboard shortcuts. Iirc they are waiting to update the installer version until they are happy with all of the features they've added being problem-free (and no new features being worked on)

I did but when I launch my game I do not see the toggleable split cloak mantis and cursed nail below "Cursed: no"

[fallow pilot]

It would appear that there is a solution posted in one of the pinned posts for the benchwarp problem. Have you tried it?

[limber egret]

Can you post a screenshot of your main menu?

[rugged socket]

of hk?

[fallow pilot]

The cursed options don't appear 'below' or 'around' the "Cursed" text. You have to click it to set the cursed mode. I do not know what all the options do, fwiw.

[limber egret]

That's not the the latest version that's in the top left, for some reason.

[jolly cloud]

yep :/

[limber egret]

Screenshot your mod installer?

[limber egret]

Uninstall it by clicking the install button, then wait for it to disappear, and go to the other tab to download it again?

[jolly cloud]

wait, it says it's not updated but I just did

[limber egret]

Wait, no, not you

Ty, yeah, you probably clicked to update but didn't wait long enough

[jolly cloud]

it said that before I launched my game

but it's still version 3.10

:/

[limber egret]

Hmm

Should be 3.12 (I believe)

[jolly cloud]

what should I click on whan it's says "out of date" ?

[limber egret]

There should be an orange box?

[jolly cloud]

yes

I clicked on it

[limber egret]

Click that

Good stuff

Just give it a couple of minutes

There might be a progress bar at the bottom

[jolly cloud]

ye I know

[rugged socket]

Didn't work

[limber egret]

Looks like you don't have mod common

[rugged socket]

ah

[jolly cloud]

did it again

didn't work

[rugged socket]

didn't change anything when I installed mod common.

[limber egret]

I'm slightly out of ideas at this point

[jolly cloud]

OH

[limber egret]

I would potentially suggest just manually downloading the correct one?

[jolly cloud]

I restarted steam and it works

[limber egret]

Huh! Well so long as it's working!

[jolly cloud]

was about to do that if it did't work

thx for your help anyways, have a great evening

[limber egret]

Good luck.

You're gonna regret that you got it working. 😜

[jolly cloud]

muscle memory will derp a few times for sure

[real jacinth]

Did you follow the pinned benchwarp fix instructions

[rugged socket]

Did not see it when I checked before

will now try it

[rugged socket]

it has worked

[shy rivet]

is there a way i can see what a mod does? like ultimatum radiance

[pliant lantern]

There's the Mod Summaries in the pins, and there is a list of ReadMe files there. Other than that, you'd just have to search on YouTube

[sleek zenith]

what is the folder called with the binding mod cus there is like 4 of them

[shy rivet]

how does custom knight work?

[pliant lantern]

You need to install skins. Fireb0rn has a tutorial on it. You can find Google Drives with skins in the pins here and in #modding-discussion

[pliant lantern]

what do you mean?

[woven adder]

are you able to get mods on macos

[shy rivet]

i was looking at the skins but the images don't show what it looks like?

[lone marlin]

hey i installed room and item ramdimezire and emey ramdimezire

and they wont work togeter

help

[pliant lantern]

Yes- The Mac installer is in the pins (Mod Installer 2 (Mac).
After downloadign it, you'll need to extract the app that inside of it to your desktop

[woven adder]

how do i do that?

[pliant lantern]

You're looking at .zip folders. You can download those and open them to see waht they look like, or look them up on youTube

[shy rivet]

how do i download one

[pliant lantern]

Presumably you just right-click it and it's an option, but I don't use macos. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out

[pliant lantern]

Right-Click one, and select Download

[shy rivet]

ty ty

[woven adder]

The Mac installer is in the pins (Mod Installer 2(mac)???????????

[shy rivet]

?????

[pliant lantern]

They do work together. You'll have to be more descriptive of your problem. Regardless, make sure you're using all of the dependencies (QoL, Benchwarp, Vasi, ModCommon, SereCore), and make sure that you're using Randomizer 3 (not 2)

[pliant lantern]

You opened a .png with a text editor. I'm not sure what you expected
If you didn't intentionally do that, then you at some point told windows to default open pngs with a text editor, and that's very silly. You'll need to right-click the file, select "open with" and choose an image viewer.

[shy rivet]

okay lol i was confused af and nah i didn't do that myself

[woven adder]

The Mac installer is in the pins (Mod Installer 2 (Mac). what are the pins

[pliant lantern]

[shy rivet]

there is no open with option so now im actually lost and how do I even make it open with a text editor

[shy rivet]

idk what to tell you i've opened with winrar, I've opened with file explorer it's not there

and I still have no idea if i even have a texteditor on my pc

[daring geode]

I'm asking for urgent help again because I am a simple mortal who cannot follow instructions I've been in a call with a friend for over two hours and we have no idea how to install a single multiplayer mod or even the API it requires

[woven adder]

After downloadign it, you'll need to extract the app that inside of it to your desktop. what does this mean

[daring geode]

MY BAD

[pliant lantern]

• The .zip you downloaded can be viewed from within Windows Explorer. If you're struggling, then extract it first, so that you're not looking at compressed files.
• All computers have text editors. It would be really hard to have a functioning computer without one.

[native ice]

It probably means it's a .zip file, right click it and hit one of the options that says "Extract to..."

[pliant lantern]

The .zip that you downloaded has a .app file inside of it. You need to right-click the .zip, and pick the option to see what's inside of it. I think it's "show contents". Then you need to drag the .app file out of it, and onto your desktop.

[shy rivet]

can i get some help in a call cause im seriously doing everything and it's not working

[woven adder]

i downloaded the wrong thing in the pins

one sec

[daring geode]

So personally I'm building the modding API, I suppose, and I'm supposed to debug a folder but I don't know how

[pliant lantern]

In the pins is a Multiplayer Troubleshooting message, that has the steps needed to use the version that's on Mod Installer. There's not really anything else to it. Just slowly go through each step, and make sure that you're both following them perfectly before going onto the next step.

Alternatively, use HKMP ( https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP ) which is a lot more intuitive, and at this point is an overall better multiplayer mod. Info on how to use it is in that link, as well as a dedicated support server.

[pliant lantern]

Why are you building the API

[daring geode]

The instructions said to do that from HKMP

[woven adder]

there is not show contents

[daring geode]

[woven adder]

what do i do

[pliant lantern]

I don't use Mac, so you'll probably need to oogle how to open a .zip on mac

[median dragon]

How do I use skins

[pliant lantern]

I just double checked, and they definitely don't say that anywhere lol

[median dragon]

I got the custom knight mod but I can’t open it

[daring geode]

I mean, so in the "install" section of it, it says the mod works through the Hollow Knight Modding API and that a started guide can be found in a link that's there. Then it says after installing the API, I'm supposed to be able to install the mod. Problem is, I don't know how to install the API

[median dragon]

When I pause it says change skin but I can’t do anything then

[pliant lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKx9Hqzy1OM

[woven adder]

when i open it it shows a modinstaller 2

[pliant lantern]

You have to install skins, then they will be in the menu

[pliant lantern]

Yup. That's the .app file. You need to put that on your desktop

[woven adder]

does it do anything to my current save files

[pliant lantern]

The ModdingApi is used for all mods. If you are using any mods, then you already have it installed. Mod Installer automatically installs it.

[pliant lantern]

No, but you should probably have a backup of your saves before starting mods anyway. Lots of mods do permanently affect a save that's opened with them.

[woven adder]

how do i back up a save

[native ice]

You'll definitely get mad at me. But I deleted the game because I had no idea what kind of mess I did. I reinstalled it, but now every time I open ModInstaller it shows this problem

[pliant lantern]

Your game is installed in a different place now

You'll need to reset the installer

There's a .bat that automatically does that in the pins

Thank you so much

And I'm sorry to be bothering you for so long, brother

[sleek zenith]

where do I download the binding toggle mod/

i checked the drive its not there

[pliant lantern]

It's on Mod Installer

[cosmic saddle]

is "RandoMapMod" in the google drive the most recent room randomizer or is that something else?

[pliant lantern]

Something else

[cosmic saddle]

what is the room randomizer listed as

[pliant lantern]

Randomizer 3 is the current Item & Room randomizer

Idk if it's on the drive updated, but it's on Mod Installer and linked in the pins of #randomizer

[cosmic saddle]

ok thanks so much

[sleek zenith]

how do I enable mods

[dense shuttle]

like in game

[pliant lantern]

You don't typically need to "enable" them

[real jacinth]

you install them with the installer

[pliant lantern]

either you have them enabled from the installer, or you don't

[sleek zenith]

its the bindingtoggle mod

[pliant lantern]

For any mod you use, you'll want to read the readme for it. An online list of them is in the pins

This is the one for that mod: https://github.com/Unordinal/HollowKnight.ToggleableBindings/blob/master/README.md

[native ice]

press down and cdash

[median dragon]

i cant get it to wok

work

[real jacinth]

"it" being....

[sleek zenith]

its not workin

[woven adder]

what do i do once the modinstaler is on my desktop

[real jacinth]

you double click it

[median dragon]

i cant figure out how to get skins

[real jacinth]

you download them

then put them in your game

[median dragon]

ive watched the firb0re video, i looked at the steam and i cant figure it out

can someone help me

[real jacinth]

watch fireborns video closely

[median dragon]

i did

[real jacinth]

then you know how to do it

[median dragon]

no i dont cause when i tried it said i had to pay to open them

[real jacinth]

what is it

[wheat orchid]

Screenshot it saying that

[woven adder]

@pliant lanternwhat do i do once the modinstaler is on my desktop

[wheat orchid]

If you mean WinRar you can just skip paying, it’s completely free iirc

[median dragon]

idk how to screan shot on computer and i already closed everything and uninstalled so i could restart

[real jacinth]

if only google

[wheat orchid]

Ok then what was “it”

[real jacinth]

double click it

[median dragon]

i think it was winra but it didnt let me bypass it without paying

[woven adder]

i did and it poped up a error i am on macos btw

[real jacinth]

did you unzip it

[livid pecan]

everytime i try to launch hollow knight it crashes after i installed the modding api 1.3.1.5 anyone know why?

[real jacinth]

why did you do that

[livid pecan]

why did i donwload it?

[real jacinth]

and install it

yes

[livid pecan]

one of the read me on a mod said to install it

[real jacinth]

why

[median dragon]

i give up on skins for now

[real jacinth]

what mod

[livid pecan]

enemy hp

[real jacinth]

just use the installer

enemyhp is on the installer

the installer auto handles the API

[livid pecan]

really?

[real jacinth]

you just fucked it up by doing it yourself

let the installer handle it

the readme for that is omega old

[woven adder]

yes i unziped it

[sleek zenith]

ok what do I do to acsess the binding toggle menu

[woven adder]

what do i do now

[sleek zenith]

nvm

[mystic maple]

I just downpatched the game (it worked and everything, I have the folders, it can open)
I just disabled all my mods but it still plays as if it was on the newest version. And, It still says "modding api 1.4.3.2" In the corner. How to I make it so that is disabled and everything is fixed without (hopefully) having to delete the modding api altogether?

[real jacinth]

you follow the guide

for multiple installed patches

it's part of the downpatching guide

[mystic maple]

ah im on that page right now

thank you

[pliant lantern]

As it's been said by multiple people, you just double click it. If you get an error, then you need to screenshot the error, or at least communicate what it is. But you shouldn't be getting an error.

[woven adder]

i have the file unziped and i have the modinstaler on my desktop what do i do

and when i open the modinstaler it popes up an error

[pliant lantern]

As it's been said by multiple people, you just double click it. If you get an error, then you need to screenshot the error, or at least communicate what it is. But you shouldn't be getting an error.

[livid pecan]

ok i fixed the crashing but how do i get the mods to work?

[mystic maple]

show a screenshot

but you need to download them on the installer and then press "enable"
if everything has gone right, you will be able to use that mod in-game

[pliant lantern]

As a life tip, you should learn to look up errors on google, and what they mean / what to do.

In this case, I google searched the message "mac os cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified", and was brought to this page:

[woven adder]

i did that

what about the modinstaller 2 quit unexpectedly

[livid pecan]

i have all the mods installed and enabled but when i launch the game they arent there

[pliant lantern]

Make sure Hollow Knight and the Mod Installer are both closed.

In steam, right click Hollow Knight > properties > local files > Verify Integrity

That will take about a minute, and it should update 1 file. When it's done, re-open Mod Installer, and it should say "Modding API successfully installed"

Then try running HK again

[livid pecan]

it worked thank you very much

[amber gull]

Hey! Any tips on how to manage save files so that I can play with mods without the risk of breaking my original saves? Or do I have to just manually backup? I wanted to start doing some randomized runs

[mystic maple]

you can copy + paste one of your saves into a different safe location

[pliant lantern]

Idk. It should run fine, as long as you got the right version of the installer, and moved the .app file out of the .zip archive.
If you're on a really old version of MacOS, then maybe it doesn't? But if it's not too old, then it should be fine.

@woven adder
Here's a link to a guide on Manually installing mods on Mac, if you can't get the Installer to work: <#archived-modding-help message>

[pliant lantern]

Personally, I made a backup of my saves, and use More Saves, so that all of my modded files are on the extra pages. Some people have an issue where More Saves overwrites a save though, and it donks up debug mod for some reason.

AFAIK there's not a convenient save manager. You can keep a shortcut to the saves folder on your desktop though

[amber gull]

I see! Thanks! ^^

[uneven sparrow]

Quick question: The ModInstaller says that it only works for the current stable version, so I need to make a choice between it and public beta?

[pliant lantern]

Yes

Mods don't work on Beta

There is a branch being developed, so that when Beta gets released, mods should be too far behind though

[vernal rain]

not the ones on the installer at least, maybe there are some files floating around in this server, but then a new modding api is also needed, which makes that also not work

[neon swift]

Hey guys, I have the problem on patch 1.2.2.1 that when i try to start a new game file, I get stuck in a blackscreen right after the intro text.

[whole frost]

Hey, I actually have a few questions regarding mod installing and my pre-existing files on vanila HK

Do they get modded as well? Can I create more than 4 save files on the modded version?

[native ice]

I believe there's a mod that lets you have more save files, your existing saves may get damaged or affected by some mods or they might be left untouched. Make a backup of your saves before you start modding

[whole frost]

okay, thanks

[native ice]

Np

[whole frost]

just to be sure, they are the user1.dat, user2.dat, ... so on, right?

[native ice]

Yep

Can just copy that whole file and save it for later

[whole frost]

thanks

[native ice]

For some reason there's still a "ModLog" folder in my save folder even though I've deleted it numerous times and verified the integrity of my game. Is this supposed to be like this? I'm thinking about trying speedrunning and don't wanna get my run invalidated and am worried this means something mod related is still lingering.

[pliant lantern]

You might want to ask in #speedrunning , or on the speedrunning server (which is linked on the hollow knight speedrun.com page sidebar). I woudln't think that the ModLog is part of vanilla, but if you're running the copy of the game that you verified the integrity of, then there shouldn't be any mods running on it.

[sleek shale]

Hey quick question anybody. I’m playing with a friend rn and I have the host mod and multi right. I’m streaming the game also in the same call to someone else. I can see him move around the screen but to him I’m frozen in place. I can move freely. Thoughts?

Update. Quick restart fixed or

[pliant lantern]

The Multiplayer mod(s) on the Installer desync and whatnot a lot, and it usually needs restarted somewhat regularly, especially after any packet hiccups (which is more likely if you're also streaming).

You'll probably want to switch over to HKMP ( https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP ) it was created to solve a lot of those stability issues, and is overall a much better mod at this point. It's also still being actively developed, where as the Installer one is abandoned.

[sleek shale]

However my emails dont work on twitter (there taken and never used).

[pliant lantern]

That's only for the newer one, which isn't on Mod Installer yet

[pliant lantern]

You might want to ask in the art channels, and check their pins

hmm maybe i'll put the newer version on a drive or on github and add it to the installer

who is dapper anyways

[pliant lantern]

A truly philosophical question
||They are the creator of RMM lol||
Anyway, they said that they should be able to update it on the installer pretty soon! They were looking into to something before uploading the current build to GitHub, but did not appear to find what they wanted, so they should hopefully have everything uploaded and updated within a few days

[ruby stump]

Can I use the mod installer if I own HK on the xbox app for windows?

[inner nest]

is it possible to mod hollow knight if i have it through the windows store?

[brazen pasture]

skin remixer has the ability to draw boxes, depending on what you're trying to do it might be easy enough to add this in it

[fair briar]

no they asked for the labeled version

not just make boxes

[pliant frost]

i opened up hollow knight and it just stopped and opened up a tab saying crash-somerandomnumbers did something would you like to open it, should i be worried

[fair briar]

go to steam and use "verify integrity"

[gloomy coral]

No, unless it happens regularly

[pliant frost]

oh

it just happened now all the other times its fine

[fair briar]

oh ok then its all fine

[pliant frost]

i believe it was unity's crash handler??

[fair briar]

if it happens again then its a problem

[pliant frost]

it had the name unity

[fair briar]

nah in steam you can verify integrity to remove the modding-api so you wont have any mods anymore, and makes sure all files are ok

[gloomy coral]

Yea cuz HK is made using unity

[pliant frost]

ok i verified and opened it up again nothing else happened and it was all good

[brazen pasture]

yes so i can just label the boxes right ?

unless they want to something specific that's something i can just add to the tool itself

[pine horizon]

hi everyone i need help i tried to install hollowpoint but there is no ak on new game.

[limber egret]

Did you read the readme?

yeah

[pine horizon]

so i have to create a save without mod on and activate it ?

[vernal rain]

yes

[pine horizon]

ok thanks

i will try

[lament vale]

hey so from what i've come to understand, you cant mod hollow knight if i got it from xbox pc game pass, is that correct?

just wanna make sure before i buy it on steam'

idk i dont dual boot

i imagine it has to do something with the file encryption tho

[lament vale]

ok where can i get a completed save file for steam

[west bane]

https://speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources

[lament vale]

thanks

[brazen pasture]

this is what went in my head - "i mean if dual booting allowed running the game, then it would have further instructions on how to and if it means to dual boot and re-buy the game anyway then why dual boot at all ?"

[west bane]

i just screenshot the pin ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brazen pasture]

yeah i know, i write this in hopes someone who knows will let us know.

[west bane]

try percussive maintenance

[normal hollow]

Aye, anyone know if using mods for one save file will mod another? i am asking because i want to mod one specific file and not all of them. If anyone gets back to me, please ping me. Thank you :>

[brazen pasture]

this might help. the super dark ones are the sprites used by multiple animations.

[lament vale]

wait wat. It copied over my save file from xbox game pass

thats super cool

[novel bronze]

is there anything wrong with the royal dreamer ?

Everytime that i install it then close the installer, the next time i open the installer it shows that i didnt install the mod yet

[alpine remnant]

I'm trying to use the custom trial mod, and I can create waves and such in the editor, but I'm can't seem to get it to save? I would think it should update WaveSequence.xml, but it doesn't. I suppose I could just edit that in notepad++ or something?

Oh nevermind, it seems once you're done you just close it and it updates the XML

[gloomy coral]

wdym it doesnt work

[gloomy coral]

maybe you could install it manually

Drop this in gamefiles -> hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods

[wheat orchid]

The mod is probably installed

But iirc it’s bugged in the installer

[harsh dagger]

Hey, can someone shed some light on how can i get the pale king skin with the spells changed? I read it was a challenge but idk what challenge

[gloomy coral]

[harsh dagger]

That's sad

I'll check it out

Thank you

[fresh scroll]

[acoustic skiff]

I need emegancy help

my custom knight stop working

pls someone

i made a custom skin myself i put it in the file and BAAM it stopped working

[real jacinth]

K

[acoustic skiff]

is there any way to fix it or am i stuck like this for the entire future

[fair briar]

what stopped working

do you have modcommon

[acoustic skiff]

yes

custom knight isnt working

[real jacinth]

You're going to have to describe things in detail with screenshots

[fair briar]

what part

[acoustic skiff]

ok

[real jacinth]

Repeating it's not working a bunch gets us nowhere

HOW is it not working. What are you seeing. What did you do with your files

Stuff like that

[acoustic skiff]

everything like, when i click on the skin change text on the screen it dosent change anything

the mod isnt working at all

[fair briar]

does this happen with all skins?

[acoustic skiff]

yep

[real jacinth]

Then your file structure is probably wrong

[fair briar]

doont click change skin

[real jacinth]

Or you don't have modcommon

[fair briar]

click on the name

of the skin

[acoustic skiff]

im doing that already

[real jacinth]

Or something else. But can't tell, because you've shown us nothing to go off of

[acoustic skiff]

i will try to reset the game files and reinstall everything

[real jacinth]

Why

[acoustic skiff]

give me a sec

[real jacinth]

That's not one of the things I said

That's just a waste of time

[acoustic skiff]

k i know

no harm in trying tho

[real jacinth]

Your skin file structure is probably wrong

[fair briar]

why does everyone always want to do that lol

[real jacinth]

They always go for the nuclear option when they don't understand

[acoustic skiff]

it is the o'reliable turn it off/on

[acoustic skiff]

i do understand

[fair briar]

theres a waaaayyy easier way

[real jacinth]

Except your problem is likely just file structure

Which I've said 3 times now

[acoustic skiff]

but other skins such as grimm knight isnt working either and i have mod common

[fair briar]

just screenshot where you put the skins

[real jacinth]

File.... Structure

Show your skin folders

[fair briar]

just screenshot where you put the skins

[acoustic skiff]

ok

gimme a sec

i will go with the nuclear option cuz everything seems right

[real jacinth]

Looks like you didn't unzip it

[acoustic skiff]

?

[real jacinth]

Can't tell for sure bc turkish

[acoustic skiff]

oh i can translate, which part are you not sure off

[real jacinth]

The part under the yellow box at the top

[acoustic skiff]

also grimm knight was working but it stopped after

[real jacinth]

This looks like a zipped folder window

[acoustic skiff]

picture tools

[fair briar]

under Yönet

[acoustic skiff]

ok gimme a sec

yeah it is picture tools

[real jacinth]

Okay. Screenshot in your mods folder

Also, your skin PNG names have to match what's in default

[fair briar]

mods

[real jacinth]

Mods

[acoustic skiff]

it does match

[fair briar]

they seem fine

[acoustic skiff]

oh ok

[real jacinth]

Get rid of better charms

[acoustic skiff]

ok

[real jacinth]

Then open your game. Screenshot title menu. And try to change skins again

[acoustic skiff]

ok

it may be a lil funky im on a ultrawide monitor

IT WORKS

thanks so much

[stark spoke]

Can someone help? I got the mod installer down and all but nothing will download

[real jacinth]

Did you open it

[stark spoke]

yes

The things do say their downloaded, and their files are there- although running the game wont load/say that its even modded.

[real jacinth]

2 messages in and we've already misdiagnosed our own issue.lol

Screenshot your installer and your title screen

[stark spoke]

ok give me a moment

Theres the installer

[wheat orchid]

Why is your game ver 1.1.1.5

[stark spoke]

oh shit i forgot to update it

[wheat orchid]

Where did you purchase hollow knight

[stark spoke]

steam like years ago

i havent played it since

[wheat orchid]

Ok

[stark spoke]

thats probably the problem then

im dumb af

[wheat orchid]

You have a LOT of updates you missed

[stark spoke]

lmao

[wheat orchid]

Surprised the installer didn’t warn you

[stark spoke]

I guess I have more to get on my 100% file then huh

[wheat orchid]

112% is the real 100%

[stark spoke]

lol

[wheat orchid]

That’s because it’s Mac?

[wanton sorrel]

Nvm, I found it

It was a folder instead of one file

[wheat orchid]

Why did you delete your message

[wanton sorrel]

Because it wasn't relevant anymore?

[wheat orchid]

[wanton sorrel]

I asked for info, then found it myself before you responded

No need to leave the question there lol

[wheat orchid]

Well look for info before asking them

[wanton sorrel]

I did

I looked exactly where I expected

It just happened to be in a very slightly different place

So I found it while double checking something after I asked

[daring smelt]

hey, I want to do a randomised items run, which mod do I have to install? Do mods affect your old saves?(It's the first time modding)

[limber egret]

You will need Randomizer 3, Benchwarp, QoL, Vasi, Serecore, SFcore, and Mod Common.

Do not open an old save with Randomiser enabled, though

[daring smelt]

Ok

[limber egret]

It will have a bad effect on a couple of things throughout the game. You can simply disable the mod through the mod installer depending on whether you're playing a Randomisersed or not

[daring smelt]

what do the last 5 mods do?

[limber egret]

It's also a good idea to back up your saves. Simply copy any files banned "user1.dat"/user2.dat etc. From

?saves

Thanks!

[limber egret]

QoL simply changes a few things throughout the game, but Randomizer relies on a couple of them to work.

The other four are library or dependency mods, which just have things that allow other mods to work.

[daring smelt]

ok thanks for the help

[limber egret]

Also you will need to download the modding API as with any mods you need.

All of these are just on the mod installer in the pins

[daring smelt]

I have the mod manager

8.7.1

[limber egret]

I'm not sure which one that is. If you've already used mods before using it, then you should be good.

I believe we call it the mod installer but when you open it it is actually turned mod manager for some unknown reason. 🙃

[daring smelt]

the creator just likes manager better I guess😂

I cant seem to find my save files

Im on windows

[haughty gazelle]

i've started the grimm troupe quest and gotten grimmchild but the flames arent appearing on my map? when i go to where they usually are the torches arent there either

i have grimmchild equipped too

here are my current mods

[limber egret]

Type in %appdata% onto your explorer address bar, then go back one folder

".." in these addresses means "up one directory"

[daring smelt]

ok

[limber egret]

Lol it won't insert a slash Into my message. 🙃

But you get the idea

If you're still struggling screenshot where you get up to and I'll try to help

[daring smelt]

This is where i get

[limber egret]

No that's your game files

You need the save files

[daring smelt]

oh god Im stupid

thanks a lot again

Do I need to copy every user1.dat (so also user1.dat.bak1521) or just user1.dat

[west bane]

the latter

the bak### are just backup's just in case

[daring smelt]

oh okay

[worthy gale]

hi, I'm wondering if the enemy randomizer that randomizes the same enemies differently (ie. one time a tiktik is a husk, another time it's the radiance) is different from the one in the mod manager by Gradow. The enemy rando in the mod manager switches an enemy type to a different type, instead of randomizing each different mob individually.

[real jacinth]

The mod is the same

That's a setting in game

Read the readme for the enemy randomizer

There's randomization settings

[worthy gale]

the read me doesnt really work for me

[limber egret]

in what way?

[worthy gale]

I think I chose the wrong app to open with it before

[limber egret]

Right click and choose open with and select any text editor

[worthy gale]

the readme bring me to like an internet explorer download tab

[limber egret]

Notepad etc

[pliant lantern]

I gotchu fam
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dXjHCfg03hD-8jMtkLBhnwJXGse3fEbj/view

[limber egret]

No you should help them fix the issue so they can read the readme for the next mod, though

[real jacinth]

Go to system settings. Change file type .MD to associate with notepad

[worthy gale]

under where? (I'm on windows 10)

[real jacinth]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs-in-windows-10-e5d82cad-17d1-c53b-3505-f10a32e1894d

[worthy gale]

what file types are the readmes?

I should have mentioned this before but some readmes do work and open in notepad such as the one for enemy hp bar

[pliant lantern]

They are all either .md or .txt

So you want both file types to be set to notepad by default

[worthy gale]

Notepad is not one of the options its letting me choose for .md

it just says either internet explorer or look for an app in the microsoft store

[hoary raft]

wheres the installer?

cant see it anywhere i must be blind

[pliant lantern]

Amazing. Sure enough, that method of doing it only lets you pick from the Windows app store. That's awful lol.
Do you know how to get to your /mods/ folder?

[pliant lantern]

Did you talk to Grimm with the Grimchild equipped?

||I don't think you have to do that, but that's the only thing that's coming to mind.||

[haughty gazelle]

well he's not there so i assume so
