Where did you buy it from

[graceful pebble]

Idk my friend did it when he came over a long time ago

[real jacinth]

So you didn't buy it

[graceful pebble]

just decided to get into it recently

not me personally

[real jacinth]

Buy the game

[livid nexus]

Good morning, i just tried new save with debug mod...but the mod gave me the grimmchild charm to me once i started. Tried to set the grimmchild charm to 0 and start new save again, still the same. Found that the default value is 1 always

Is there any way that let me not getting this charm once i start the game? thx.

[pliant lantern]

@livid nexus
Post a screenshot of your Main Menu and/or Mods folder

[livid nexus]

this mod folder?

[gloomy coral]

That's the saves folder

[livid nexus]

this one?

[pliant lantern]

That's it, yeah

Interesting though. Debug alone definitely doesn't give you a starting charm

[gloomy coral]

Did you click on give all charms?

[pliant lantern]

I think you may have accidentally bound the ability to give a grimchild upgrade to a button you're pressing

[real jacinth]

You also don't have modcommon

[delicate valley]

does anyone know how to download the stary knight custom knight skin?

[real jacinth]

You click download

[delicate valley]

i went on fireborns video but i cant find the zip file in the for it

Wtf is that gif on the bot message

[pliant lantern]

Go back to this folder, and delete the DebugMod.GlobalSettings files (both of them), and install ModCommon

[pliant lantern]

No?

[real jacinth]

My phone app is being weird. It was showing a duck gif

[gloomy coral]

That would be epic

Stupid app

[delicate valley]

f

[livid nexus]

didn't, i even not yet start to change the setting in the debug mod. i started 3 more new save to try, still the same.

already reinstall this mod but still the same

[pliant lantern]

You intentionally have stuff bound to your mouse buttons, right?

@livid nexus

Because.. that's probably a really bad idea lol

[brave dagger]

is the RandomiserMod3 the most up do date version, or is there an update?

[west bane]

whatever is on the installer

[novel bronze]

So i wanna revert back to unmodded but it keeps telling me to verify the game. I did verify the game but it still pops this message, can i not go back to vanilla ?

[fallow pilot]

Once you verify, it is back to vanilla.

IDK why the mod installer is confused, I don't use it and can't help much there. But verifying the game files is a direct process back to vanilla.

[novel bronze]

oh really ? And i can still keep all the mods ? cool

i thought i had to wipe out all the mod files or something

[fallow pilot]

Err, well, the mods won't work. That's how reverting to vanilla works.

I think that's implied, just making sure we're on the same page here.

The mods can still exist in your game directory, they're useless unless the modding api is installed, which is what the modinstaller allows you to do.

[limber egret]

Yeah, it says "Then open the mod installer", but don't. Doing that reinstalls the API which makes it modded.

Ignore that bit of the message.

[novel bronze]

:/

well that's really confusing

but yea, thanks everyone

[plucky ledge]

i need help with multiplayer mod, me and my friend were trying to play using the multiplayer client , we connected to the server (my friend was hosting it) he can see me move but i cant see him how can i fix that? i already tried disconnecting and connecting again , restarting the game and leaving to menu and going on to the game again but nothing worked how can i fix it?

[uneven crane]

[loud sparrow]

is there a health bar mode?

[rocky heron]

i'm new here and i'm trying the mod installer for the first time, but i'm having a really weird issue, every time i try to disable a mod specifically, the installer closes itself immediately.

I can send the crashlog if needed?

[native ice]

Don't disable mods just uninstall them

[fair briar]

this will be fixed later

the temporary solution is to go to the mods folder and create a folder called "Disabled"

[fair briar]

enemyHPbar

[loud sparrow]

thank you

[wheat fiber]

For the debug mod, can you change the controls to hide the menu? Laptop kinda sucks with this mod and my friend wants to use it, Thank you!

[fair briar]

i believe so, its in the bindings menu and under the tab "mod UI"

[real jacinth]

Or press fn+f1

To actually press function keys on laptop

[rocky heron]

i have a bigger issue now, every time I use the modinstaller, even just to download the modding API, it permanently breaks the game, causing it to crash a few seconds after startup, until i delete and reinstall the game.

[real jacinth]

Do you see the loading bar

[rocky heron]

in the game?

[real jacinth]

Yes

[rocky heron]

yeah i see the little loading knight for a second or two

[real jacinth]

What mods do you have enabled

[rocky heron]

nothing at all

[real jacinth]

Not even the api?

[rocky heron]

I installed the modding API, which broke it, then i uninstalled it, it's still broken

this has happened a few times and the only fix is just reinstall

[real jacinth]

What OS are you on

[rocky heron]

Windows 10

[real jacinth]

Which installer are you using

Where'd you get your game from

[rocky heron]

the windows link for modinstaller two

the game is torrented

[real jacinth]

Hahahaha

Buy the game

There's anti theft measures in the installer.

Buy an actual version

[rocky heron]

good to know

[gloomy coral]

lol

[novel bronze]

Can i install mos in the pirate?

i didnt have the original

[high gyro]

dont pirate the game

its only 15 dollars. just buy the damn game

[neon marten]

It’s….. 2 messages up. The exact answer to your question

[high gyro]

i tried to disable benchwarp on modinstaller 2 and got this error

[gloomy coral]

you have the latest version o MI2 right?

[high gyro]

i believe so

[gloomy coral]

you know where mods folder is?

[round carbon]

Hey, I kind of need some help or directions, I wanted to install the Grimm Knight skin by 复印纸 and I can't seem to figure it out how to install it

[lost crest]

I get nail time lag in every Hornet and Mantis Lords fight. The mods I have are Benchwarp, Charm Notch Mod, Custom Knight, Debug Mod, Enemy Randomizer, Enemy HP Bar and Modcommon. Is there a mod that can cause this or is there something else wrong?

[round carbon]

Nvm I am good figured it out, it looks so cool

[lost crest]

Nevermind, it's just Hornet

[high gyro]

for mac? nope. i just browsed local files in steam and was able to find it that way

[vernal rain]

crazy

but this is #archived-modding-help

[loud sparrow]

sorry lol

[fervent edge]

How do i get it to locate the hollow knight instillation folder since the

exe didnt show up

and the /Mods folder doesn't show up either

[fading oar]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[fervent edge]

that... doesn't help very much

[pliant lantern]

Where did you get the game from?

[fervent edge]

steam

[pliant lantern]

The mod installer should automatically have found it, unless you set your steam installs to a weird spot

[fervent edge]

it is in a different drive

[pliant lantern]

Regardless, right click HK in steam, then go to properties, then Local Files

[fervent edge]

then steam normally downloads it to

ive done that

from there what do i do

[pliant lantern]

You tell the installer to use the path that it pulled up

[fervent edge]

how do i do it from here

[pliant lantern]

You just navigate to the right folder? Follow the path that steam gave you

[fervent edge]

give me a minute

This is all i see

nvm i got it

thanks

[amber basin]

Mod installer is telling me I need to upgrade my version, even though I am on the latest version. I'm trying reinstalling my game.

Didn't help.

I put HK in a different install location, and modinstaller isn't prompting me to change

[real jacinth]

What patch number do you have

[amber basin]

it was 1.4.3.2 or whatever

[wheat orchid]

Could you screenshot it

[amber basin]

How do I get modinstaller to look for another install location?

I think one of my backup drives might have had HK installed

okay IDK how but I fixed it

[novel bronze]

So what do I do with that Linux.zip?

[wheat orchid]

Extract it then run the program inside I assume

[young ether]

Do mods disable achievements

[wheat orchid]

On gog yes, on steam no

[young ether]

good to know thanks

[vernal rain]

no

I'm trying to download the Sapphire Customknight skin and for some reason it's just not... working. It says, basically "file too big for google to scan" with a button "download anyway" but clicking it does nothing, doesn't download

[gloomy coral]

maybe its being blocked?

try disabling your anti virus or something

[feral gyro]

I made sure my antivirus wasn't causing a problem, but then had the bright idea (shoulda tried this before) to try in a different browser

mozilla was being a failure, google chrome managed fine

[fair briar]

once you are in the mods folder make a folder called "Disabled"

[pliant lantern]

It takes awhile for Google to let you download some of them. At the bottom of the screen, it should show a loading circle, which is it preparing the .zip

I just realized you already got it, sorry for the ping

[feral gyro]

not a problem

[rose bough]

Guys when I try to go to the room right of Black Egg bench, my game freezes is there a fix?

My mods: benchwarp, BingoUI, CustomKnight, EnemyHPBar, GrassyKnight, ModCommon, MoreSaves, QoL, SereCore, Vasi

[limber egret]

Have you tried restarting your game?

[rose bough]

yes

[limber egret]

Hmm. It's usually just a VRAM issue, and restarting should sort it.

This is a reasonably common vanilla bug, fwiw.

[rose bough]

I do have 4GB RAM and Intel HD 505 on a Pentium N4200

HK usually runs fine

[limber egret]

Try disabling custom knight

That uses a lot of resources

[rose bough]

is there a lot of elements in that room?

[limber egret]

Not sure about enemy hp bar or grassy knight

Yeah, there are

Check that possibly effects are off?

[rose bough]

particles are on low

[limber egret]

I literally upgraded my computer because that room was causing me huge lag spikes

[rose bough]

I am using a laptop and the only upgrade I might maybe be seeing is a Intel Core 2 Quad with 16GB DDR2, and a graphics card from ~5y ago

[limber egret]

You might have to do that room vanilla, sadly

[livid nexus]

can i change the setting for not using mouse? as it is the default setting, not sure what i do for this 😆

[limber egret]

Check this message.

The default bindings should all be blank, I believe.

(This message is also in the pins, fwiw)

[fair briar]

no, not all bindings should be blank, but its certainly not normal for them to be mouse1 or mouse0

[merry matrix]

cant download randomizer 3, keep getting an error message

OH WAIT

[gloomy coral]

What error message

[merry matrix]

i had the game open while trying to download it, fixed itself when i closed it. nvm

[merry matrix]

ok so now something weird happened, i turned off my pc earlier after i got the randomizer mod to work, along with some others, and now that ive turned it on again and launched hollow knight, it wont show any of the mods. i checked the files and the mods are still downloaded, they just dont seem to work anymore

[royal gazelle]

How do you get the enemy randomizer to work? My enemies arent getting randomized

nvm, found it

[gloomy coral]

You have controller?

[pliant lantern]

Look through the pins for Benchwarp fix

[merry matrix]

sadly not.

[wheat orchid]

That’s good!

If controllers are plugged in before the game reaches the title screen, mods can get bugged

[novel bronze]

Can someone give me the unmodded hk_data

[pliant lantern]

There's only one vanilla file that gets modded. Using Steam's Verify Integrity will revert that file

[novel bronze]

Oh thanks

[pliant lantern]

Was there something in particular you are trying to do that you're getting that error from though?

Like, are you trying to play vanilla, or modded?

[novel bronze]

Vanilla

[fair briar]

dont open the installer again after using revert to unmodded, as that will make it modded again

[novel bronze]

o

[novel bronze]

Thanks

[noble basin]

one of you @ modders is responsible for the hollow knight modding api NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN LINUX and according to git blame it looks like it's @glass meteor https://github.com/ricardosouzag/ModInstaller/commit/665f99e9bcb4093be738ed58ce45534f06a5e11b

Anyone capable of building the api with the Linux vanilla Managed folder please do so. I will attach it to the next message I post

The assembly csharp on linux is DIFFERENT FROM WINDOWS slightly because of how controllers work in Unity and specifically how they are OS specific so the windows modding api DOES NOT HAVE CONTROLLER SUPPORT on linux. For this reason the mod manager is supposed to link to a different assembly csharp on Linux than on windows

Yes I'm salty. Yes I literally rejoined this godawful discord after 3 years because of a youtube comment. this is a legit problem and I can't believe I would only discover you silently broke compatibility with Linux from a goddamn youtube comment on an unrelated video. I don't even care about this game much anymore so I feel dragged back here because someone didn't do their job properly

that's all take care

[fallow pilot]

Have you tried reinstalling it? Maybe verify game files?

[pliant lantern]

That aggression though.
I don't understand why this is so aggressive- if you've found the root of an issue, and want to bring attention to it, why not do so without the aggression? The whole "someone doing their job properly" is nonsense, considering modding is no one's job- it's something that community members do out of passion for something they like.

If you want to help the community, then that's great- but there's no need to attack people within it at the same time

[fallow pilot]

Looks like they left the server after salting it

[gloomy coral]

you do realise they are gone right?

did you click on randomize enemies on the title screen/

?

[sinful quartz]

debug mod gives me a black screen and nothing else shows up, anyone else have this issue?

[gloomy coral]

screenshot mods folder

also which version of the game do you have

i dont get what this means

i havent used the mod, the readme (which can be found in pins) could provide more info

what do you need help with exactly

[ancient turtle]

help

[pliant lantern]

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)

[strange breach]

thanks

[pliant lantern]

That's what Enemy Randomizer does. It isn't balanced at all, and I wouldn't recommend doing it if you want a normal run experience.

Eventually, i want to try seeing if I can improve Enemy Rando, and add each enemy to various groups, and have those groups get shuffled (so for example, only bosses show up in boss spots), but it's probably going to be over a year until I am looking into anything that messes with the game to that extent

[pliant lantern]

Where did you get the game from?

[ancient turtle]

from steam

[pliant lantern]

Did you move the game away from the main steam install location?

[ancient turtle]

no

[minor fable]

is this the 1221 version of debug mod

yes

check to see if the debug mod settings file is valid

with the latest version of the modding api it should be something like DebugMod.GlobalSettings-1.2.2.1.json

[shell jay]

it's an older version

but I also edited the json to have a comment somewhere in it that I think messed with things

oh ok

yeah that will do it

the unity json parser only parses strict json so it can't have comments

I keep a folder of mods that get posted that aren't on the Installer

[crisp scroll]

thanks, I am just being cautious

yeah I just found it pinned a second ago

[pliant lantern]

I mean, that's fair and respectable

[crisp scroll]

I've had some friends get viruses on the beat saber modding discord, so now I'm just paranoid

[sweet pecan]

This is the 3rd time I have had to select a installation path for the modding API. Does anyone know why?

[pliant lantern]

• Do you keep moving your installation?
• Where id Mod Installer saved?

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot this
Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on browse

[sweet pecan]

I don't touch the Mod installer or my Hollow Knight folders. Technically the Installer is in my "Downloads" and not in the Hollow knight folders, should I put it in my Hollow Knight folders?

[pliant lantern]

That's your problem

Mod Installer shouldn't be in your Downloads

Move it to Desktop

[sweet pecan]

I had the Application moved to desktop which is what I have been using

[pliant lantern]

Why are you showing a .zip

[sweet pecan]

I'm pretty sure it might have downloaded wrong but the one on the right works

[pliant lantern]

Mod Installer (which is looks like you renamed "Modded Hollow Knight") should be run from your desktop, or your drive that has the HK install.
It just shouldn't be run from Downloads, and it shouldn't be run from within a .zip

If it's having you reselect your HK path each time, then it's either because

• It's not writing the path file correctly, or
• It's not able to read the path file, or
• The path file no longer matches where the game is

[sweet pecan]

I did rename it and it does run from my desktop the .zip was from a different download that I did wrong. It lets me launch the API and download mods now, but even so it sometimes makes me re-choose

[pliant lantern]

You can try clearing the "memory" of it by running the .bat file that's in the first pin if you want, although that shouldn't be the issue really.

You may need to run the Mod Installer as Admin if it's having file access issues

[sweet pecan]

Alright, I'll try running it as Admin and see how thinks work out. If I have to re-choose later I'll try the .bat file

Thank you for the help, I appreciate it

[sweet pecan]

(Unrelated to previous problems)
I was testing some mods out and I was done so I went to do the revert back to vanilla and it told me it couldn't find my vanilla Hollow Knight, but when I launch Hollow Knight it launches the modded. How would I revert back?

[jaunty surge]

My Hollow Knight is stuck in full screen and I assume it has to deal with the mods I'm using, because I can exit it when I'm not using mods.

Is there a way to be able to play modded and not full screen?

[gloomy coral]

Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on verify integrity

[sweet pecan]

Already did that

[gloomy coral]

In game, press alt + enter

[gloomy coral]

And the game is unmodded?

[sweet pecan]

No it isn't and that's the problem

The Modding API says I can revert it to vanilla, but then tells me it couldn't find Vanilla Hollow Knight

[gloomy coral]

Did you open modinstaller again?

If you verify integrity then your game is unmodded as long as you don't open modinstaller again

[sweet pecan]

oooh I see

Do I always have to verify if I transfer it to Vanilla?

[gloomy coral]

Normally no

Unless you get that can't find vanilla hollow knight error

[sweet pecan]

That was what was happening but I just verified and now it's vanilla

But I just tried launching the API and it said it was downloading again

[gloomy coral]

If you don't want mods why are you opening the Installer?

[sweet pecan]

I want to be able to freely change between the 2 (That being Modded and Vanilla) so I was testing if I could open the mod installer

[pliant lantern]

To fix the "Revert to Unmodded" button:

• Close HK and Mod Installer

• Go to your \Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed folder delete the five Assembly-CSharp files

• Use Steam's Verify Integrity again

• After steam is done, Re-open Mod Installer

[sweet pecan]

My folder only had 2 "Assembly-CSharp" Files so I did just as said and it still didn't let me revert. (Sorry this is a problem)

[pliant lantern]

What two does it have / can you post a screenshot?

[sweet pecan]

Those are the 2

[fair briar]

yeah just delete the assembly.Csharp.dll

not the firstpass

and then continue

[sweet pecan]

Ok, I tried it while deleting both, so I'll try it with only deleting the one

I still get this while trying to do the revert

[fair briar]

• Use Steam's Verify Integrity again

[worldly yarrow]

where do i find modinstaller 2

[fair briar]

?pins

[dense shuttle]

Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png

[gloomy coral]

why are you deleting it manually?

[sweet pecan]

It seems like I can click the revert, then verify to play vanilla. But once I open the modded again it says it downloads, and I have to click revert to then verify files

[fair briar]

huh?

im confused

[pliant lantern]

If you followed the steps, the revert button should work

You shouldn't need to verify anymore

[sweet pecan]

I did follow the steps and it doesn't seem to work

[pliant lantern]

Do you have Multiple HK installs?

[sweet pecan]

No

Do I need too?

[pliant lantern]

No

[sweet pecan]

Damn well idk

[fair briar]

• Close HK and Mod Installer

• Use Steam's Verify Integrity

• Go to your \Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed folder and change the Assebly.Csharp.dll to Assembly.Csharp.vanilla

• Use Steam's Verify Integrity again

• After steam is done, Re-open Mod Installer

try that

[sweet pecan]

That worked for me!

[fair briar]

nice

[sweet pecan]

I'm now able to switch between the 2, thank you so much. I'm really glad I was able to get help! Time to enjoy some epic mods 😄

[worldly yarrow]

why doesnt multiplayer mod show people moving help

i forgot how to fix this

[pliant lantern]

[pliant lantern]

If you're using the Mod Installer Multiplayer mod, then follow the pinned message about it very closely.
You will probably have to restart every now and then, especially if any players have bad internet

You might want to use https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP instead though, because it's more stable and actively supported

[pliant lantern]

It's weird to me that MI wouldn't create it properly. That seems like an issue 😐

[echo heath]

agreed

[floral leaf]

hey, I was trying to install QoL on 1.2.2.1 but its saying the mod failed to load, can anyone help me? thanks

[royal coral]

are we able to use mod for cracked/

[gloomy coral]

you can't use 1432 mods on 1221

[neon marten]

No

[limber egret]

There are 1221 specific mods in #resources, I believe

[vernal rain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFIudBIWI1Y this is a good tutorial for that

[ivory aurora]

Oh nice

Is this new?

[vernal rain]

somewhat new, yes

[nova fox]

It's my first time downloading a mod for hollow knight aswell

[gloomy coral]

Idk how to make art tho so the icons are gonna be question marks

[glacial shell]

hello , is there an invincibility mod? I'm kinda stuck at sly

[gloomy coral]

Debug mod can give you invincibility

[nova fox]

I have currently downloaded the ModInstaller and SpritePacker but now I need to know how to get the modified GODump to work on Krita with the load sprite plugins enabled

[gloomy coral]

It's there in pins of #modding-discussion

[nova fox]

The one by Italy?

[gloomy coral]

yes

[nova fox]

Couldn't really find info on how to put the modified GODump stuff from the pin

[gloomy coral]

ask in #modding-discussion that's where skin creators mostly hang out

[spring bane]

Same as manually installing any other mod, you use the "manually install" button on installer 1 or simply drop the dll in your mods folder

[nova fox]

I dropped the dll file in a folder called Mods inside the Hollow Knight stuff but nothing really happened

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot main menu

[spring bane]

You then use it like you would the original godump (instructions) https://github.com/magegihk/HollowKnight.GODump

[nova fox]

Tried that

Couldn't find "Steam\SteamApps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods" earlier which is why I just put it into LocalLow Hollow Knight

[gloomy coral]

You can't do that

If you don't know something ask

Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on browse

Do this to get to "Hollow Knight"

And then follow the rest of the path

[torpid storm]

im confused on how you download any% impoosbile

[gloomy coral]

Impossible any%

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-04JcalmOtg&t=226s&ab_channel=fireb0rn
watch first few mins of this video to get an idea how to download the mod. Then download the impossible any% map from the pins of #modding-discussion

[torpid storm]

okay thanks

[nova fox]

GODump seems to work now, dunno if I have to do the usage steps yet for krita since the krita program can't find the knight sprites

[steady ether]

the multiplayer is not working for me and my friend, we put in the same ipv4 address and connected to hamachi and nothing is happening

[agile acorn]

hey guys can i get the multiplayer mod if i got it from the mc store or if its a cracked game?

[cerulean yoke]

I need help with this, idk what to do next there are no Hollow knight files when I'm searching for them

[nocturne bough]

Can someone help me with installing the modinstaller on mac, it only installs mono </33

[pliant lantern]

Did you install the krita plugin? And did you actually dump the sprites yet?

[pliant lantern]

If you're using the multiplayer mod that's on Mod Installer, then down in the pins is a very specific multiplayer troubleshooting message. If each player follows those steps, then it should work without problem.

These days though, is suggest using HKMP instead (https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP). It's more stable, and has a link to a dedicated support server if you have questions

[pliant lantern]

Did you get the Mac one from the pins?

[pliant lantern]

Where did you get Hollow Knight from?

[cerulean yoke]

Steam

I know where hollow knight is in the files but it can't reach there

[pliant lantern]

Unfortunately, those versions aren'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)

[agile acorn]

even the cracked ones i cant tweak the files?

[pliant lantern]

• where did you put Mod Installer?
• what do you mean "it can't reach"?

[nocturne bough]

Tysm!! <33

[agile acorn]

ight thanks for the help

[cerulean yoke]

Mod installer is on my desktop, and for the reach, I know where in file's Hollow knight is, but the mod installer can only open things on my desktop

[pliant lantern]

Just make sure that after downloading it, you take the Mod Installer .app out of the .zip that you download. The .app should be put onto your desktop

[pliant lantern]

When it asks you to select a path, you can start at "This PC" and go from there. It can get to literally any folder on your computer.

Just make sure that you point it to the same folder that opens when you click "browse local files" in the Hollow Knight properties on steam

[cerulean yoke]

It looks like it's working, I'll test it if it works and then I'll get back to you

It works, tysm

[torpid storm]

where is my hollow knigh data map?

[nova fox]

Yes I installed the plugin put I don't think I have dumped the sprites yet but I do have a sprite folder in the Hollow Knight place with the Knight sprite. However I followed the Sprite Packer stuff for that

[pliant lantern]

What do you mean by "map"?

[pliant lantern]

Actually, the first pin has the default windows steam location

[pliant lantern]

Do you have ModCommon, SereCore, and Vasi enabled?

[spring bane]

Dump the sprites with GODump next. This version of GODump generates files the plugins use that the sprites you would've downloaded elsewhere don't have. Then go to the plugins menu in Krista, use the "load sprites" one and point it at one of the animations GODump has dumped

[torpid storm]

nope ill put them on

[nova fox]

I see. How do I dump the sprites and where do I put them before going to Krita to load the sprites?

[torpid storm]

Thanks

[torpid storm]

thanks al to

[covert kite]

So im watching a guide (also yes, it is up to date) to getting the mod isntaller, and it shows a download in the pins, but i dont see it? also im on windows 10

[spring bane]

https://github.com/magegihk/HollowKnight.GODump this page has the instructions. I usually just go in game with only GODump as an enabled mod, press f2 then f3 then f4, then the game lags a lot and when it's done lagging it has dumped all the sprites

I think this may be dumping sprites I don't need but I don't care

For the plugins the sprites can be wherever, but for sprite packer they need to be in the place GODump automatically puts them which is near the save files

[rare coyote]

is there a tutorial on how to host a multiplayer hk game?

[pliant lantern]

The guide probably isn't up to date then, but it shouldn't matter too much. Literally the second pin has the link.

[pliant lantern]

Fireb0rn made one for Jngo's Multiplayer Mod, which is the one on Mod Installer. There's also a pinned easy -steps / troubleshooting message for it.

Personally, I'd suggest using HKMP (https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP) because it's easier to use, and more stable. You can find a support server on that GitHub page if you choose to use it and have any questions

[rare coyote]

ty I might have figured it out I didn't know the host had to have both client and server installed

[pliant lantern]

That's definitely an advantage of HKMP; it only requires one mod lol

[livid nexus]

1.3.6
downloaded from modinstaller

[nova fox]

If I pick a sprite with Krita should I go to the sprite folder to pick one or from atlases? And should I delete the earlier Knight folder if that confuses the GODump program to not put the correct one over there?

[pliant lantern]

Did you ever get around to clearing out your debug bindings, to see if that fixed it?

[pliant lantern]

GoDump will overwrite stuff, so that's not a worry.
And you want to pick the folder with the split sprites, not the atlas folder

[inland crag]

ive been trying to download the custom knight mod, and i have everything installed correctly (i think) but when i launch the game im met with a black screen and the cursor, im able to launch the game without mods perfectly fine. anybody know how to fix this?

in the read me for the mod it says it may take a while to launch but ive been waiting upwards of ten minutes

[livid nexus]

tried😂😂😂

[wheat orchid]

Is a controller plugged in

[nova fox]

Thank you for now it has found the knight sprites and I can also edit the animation 🙂 I'll just need to get the correct brush! Also can I just click save when I'm done and it saves the sprite in the same spot without anything else having to be done?

[inland crag]

yeah, i was actually able to get the game to launch, but ive encountered another error

[wheat orchid]

Unplug the controller until you reach the main menu

It messes up the game when loading mods for some reason

[inland crag]

i still get the failed to load issue

[wheat orchid]

Screenshot the entire main menu

[wheat orchid]

1. Why is hollow knight located there
2. Why are you on ver 1.2.2.1

3. Did you pirate the game

[inland crag]

1. because it was easier to access than the local files

2. downpatched for learning speedrunning

3. nope

[wheat orchid]

Ah ok

Usually that’s a sign of pirating

You need a custom version of CustomKnight

Mods don’t transfer over for different patches

Also there’s pretty much no skins for 1.2.2.1

The spritesheets are different

[inland crag]

damn i guess thats fine tho, i havent seen any speedruns where they use skins so i assume theres a reason for that

[pliant lantern]

||I'm genuinely amazed that no one has made a sprite sheet converter yet||

[wheat orchid]

Iirc there was one being made

[pliant lantern]

Mods would get the run DQd

[wheat orchid]

But last I saw it got real broken

[pliant lantern]

Wdym by "tried"? Like, did you successfully delete the global settings file?

[wheat orchid]

I might try making a converter after I finish CustomKnight +

That’s after I finish a couple million other mods tho

[inland crag]

ah so thats why you make two files, one for practice with mods right?

and i assume you do all runs you plan to submit on an unmodded file

[pliant lantern]

Every night before I go to sleep, I pray to my Red Frog shrine, in hopes of seeing CK+ sooner

[wheat orchid]

Fine I’ll put some time aside this week

Why finish pale court when you can finish ck+

I do need to release it before I get too many ideas of improvements though

[pliant lantern]

I believe it does default to saving there, yeah. Just make sure not to run GoDump again, or make some backups of files or something

[wheat orchid]

I’m already planning to rewrite a bunch of code that was pretty much complete

[brazen pasture]

wait. is this also going to be the case with 1.5.x ?

skin remixer would need a whole lot more work to stay current in that case

[wheat orchid]

Idk

Prob not

[pliant lantern]

1.5.x so far is just bug/code fixes, so I wouldn't think they'd redo sprite sheets. There could always be something added that's currently not in the beta though

[wheat orchid]

Ah yes a bug fix that introduces new bugs

[brazen pasture]

Really hope so! I've just added the editor to it and the ability to export the json out, a bit more setup and it should be possible for anyone to add new parts and tag them

[livid nexus]

yes...binding reset successfully but only grimmchild charm is 1 instead of 0 when start game

[vivid marsh]

idk if this counts as modding but how do you reput a file into hollow knight? I want to replay the white palace and I downloaded the .rar file from speedrun.com and put it into hollow knight in LocalLow but nothing's happening?

[pliant lantern]

You need to extract the .dat file from the archive you downloaded.
7zip is a program that can do that if you don't already have one.

[vivid marsh]

can you elaborate? Do I extract it into a folder or just "extract here"?

[pliant lantern]

HK saves are numbered .dat files that are in your saves folder.
What you downloaded is an archive file, that has a .dat fine inside of it. You need to put that .dat file into your saves folder

I tried the multiplayer mod and it didn't work

I set up Hamachi and had him copy paste the ip and still it didn't work

so idk what i did wrong

tried uninstalling extra mods

still nothing

re entered zones nothing

The only thing i can see wrong is that he didn't have hamachi and i just sent him the ip code

pls help

[pliant lantern]

I mean, that's a pretty big thing to be wrong.

As in, it won't work while that's wrong

[daring smelt]

hey me and my friend try to do multiplayer. If he downloads server does he need to download client as well?

How long does connecting usually take? cause it looks instantly but I guess thats not the case

[fervent edge]

aight well

[pliant lantern]

Look through the pins for the Multiplayer info one

[fervent edge]

ill try next week

[daring smelt]

ok

IPv4 or v6?

[pliant lantern]

To anyone starting Multiplayer, I would recommend using HKMP instead, fwiw.

Info about it here: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
That page has a support server if you need help with it.

It's a lot more stable, and more intuitive to use

[alpine hollow]

is there a mod that just changes the color of the hk cloak? i just want it to be white lol

[west bane]

customknight?

[alpine hollow]

ok ty, i wasnt sure what knight sprite meant

[west bane]

the sprite sheets of the knight, you would need one to change the skins

[brazen pasture]

if you only need to change it's cloak color try using the skin remixer
https://prashantmohta.github.io/HollowKnight.SkinRemixer/
do check and uncheck the show boxes in advanced tools before you generate your skin

[alpine hollow]

uhhh this loooks crazy haha

ive never used any mods before

[cold summit]

how do u change the skin when using lightbringer

i keeps changing back to the lightbringer default skin

[real jacinth]

You don't

[cold summit]

u sure?

maybe find the skin in the files and change the sprites to the one i want?

idrk how it works

[real jacinth]

Guess you're the expert. I'll defer to your opinion instead

Good luck

[cold summit]

nice

i have no idea what im doing so

[pliant lantern]

Lightbringer resets the sprite periodically.
You'd need to edit and recompile the mod

[cold summit]

uhhh

how do i do that

[pliant lantern]

Well, probably start by watching tutorials on learning C#, if you're not familiar with coding and the structures within it.

Then, when you have an alright understanding of that, learn how HK modding works:
https://radiance.host/apidocs/Getting-Started.html

||Hint: HK/Unity doesn't store images in simple folders that you can just tweak. So you'd either need to remove the code from Lightbringer that makes Knight sprites change, or change the sprites before the mod is compiled into a library||

[cold summit]

i was just kind of hoping i could swap out the folder with the lightbringer sprites (the white cape one) with the one i want (the hornet one)

if u cant do that i dont think im gonna learn c# to use the hornet skin on one mod lmao

[lunar laurel]

Is there somewhere i can find a list of what all the mods on the modInstaller do? or do i just have to download them first and readMe

Fwiw, you can also download Mod Installer 2 from the pins, and use it's Mod Descriptions feature

Installer 1 is overall more intuitive, but that feature in 2 is really nice for learning about the mods

[nova fox]

The idle animation for Hollow Knight has 9 frames and the last one is a hold frame, put I currently have 10 (counting the hold frame), do I just import the 9 and the game automatically makes the last into a hold frame?

[candid oxide]

Is there anything that gives you infinite map markers?

[vernal rain]

no

[candid oxide]

huh ok

In general is there an easy way to mark off rooms on a map

Doing room randos and it helps to know which rooms I've visited

[vocal moat]

quill

[candid oxide]

well yeah but if I'm doing multiple passes through the map the quill only helps the first time through

[vocal moat]

yea i guess thats true

i dont think theres anything else

[candid oxide]

welp thanks anyway

bruh my mods just completely corrupt my save files

Sounds like hollow knight is open

Make sure everything else is closed when using it

[limpid elm]

i closed everything it still shows the same error

what do I do if it says repeated sprites below are modified

[pliant lantern]

[lapis laurel]

Does anyone know how to make Gatling Aspid mod work with Crystal Aspid mod?

Oh

[novel bronze]

For the Hollow Knight skin remixer, do you need to duplicate the other files (spells) from a different skin and put it in the new one or no need?

[glad vale]

ok, I guess I will keep trying. I am sorry, I am not great at this

[glad vale]

thank you, much appreciated. It looks like I had an old version, and had ... for some reason refused to update it ^^'

yay, it works. I'll go play. Thanks again

[floral leaf]

hey, so I searched in resources but wasn't able to find the Qol or Vasi dll for 1221, can anyone help me?

[pliant lantern]

AFAIK there isn't a QoL or Vasi for 1221

There is a 1221 Benchwarp, that AFAIK is standalone, and IIRC there's a Rando for 1221

[floral leaf]

Oh ok that explains it, thanks

[pliant lantern]

I realize this is very late, but I'm very excited to play with this

[gloomy coral]

I tried to make some icons for the bidnibgs menu but I'm failing horribly while trying to get it into the game

[novel bronze]

So if one mod needs another mod to work, say Benchwarp needs Vasi. If I disable both of them, and then wanna use the benchwarp again, do i have to manually enable both of them ? or enabling benchwarp will automatically activate vasi ?

[gloomy coral]

You have to manually enable both

But you shouldn't disable Vasi and other dependencies like that in the first place

Cuz on their own they don't do anything

[regal junco]

it says it cannot be intalled/ opened as the creator cannot be verified. how do i fix this?

[gloomy coral]

so to settings, securtitty and look for an option like aloows download from web or other devs or something like that

[regal junco]

ok

gimme a sec

[nocturne temple]

Is it possible to reset Modinstaller 2?

[regal junco]

not when i havent opened it yet

[fair briar]

yes

first pin already can

[regal junco]

it works

now for my next question

how do i get a custom knight

also thx

you guys are helpful

[nocturne temple]

Thx

[pliant lantern]

Look up Fireb0rn's Custom Knight Turorial;
There are two Google Drives of skins, that are pinned both here and in #modding-discussion

thx

i added custom knights into the mod folder and the game isnt opening

[round hound]

Hi - is the GOG downpatching method still the way to go? Even if you have the game installed in Steam.

I don't get what you mean

[round hound]

I guess there are 2 days to do this Downpatching. Through steam, or to install GOG and do it that way. I just wanted to know which to do.

[regal junco]

im gonna restart my computer

[gloomy coral]

If you have steam use steam method if you have GoG use GoG. If you have option use GoG as its 10x simpler

[pliant lantern]

Don't forget ModCommon, and

On Mac
CustomKnight skins go here:

.. Hollow Knight -> hollow_knight.app -> content -> data-> managed mods

[tawny patrol]

is there any fix to infinite notches messing with a save file?

[pliant lantern]

You can edit the save.

Generally speaking, you should make backups of your saves before modding, and don't open a file with mods unless you are fine with permanent changes to it.

There are methods for Save Editing listed in the pin about Hollow Point

[limber egret]

The skins usually come with spells. If they don't they will be detected from the default file

[gloomy coral]

[wheat orchid]

Screenshot it

Can you translate the small amount of text below the first paragraph

[analog canopy]

Is there anyway to use Lightbringer mod with CustomKnight?

[wheat orchid]

You can code your own ver without the skin changing

[analog canopy]

ooo

Would I just go into the files and find where it changes the skin and remove that code?

[wheat orchid]

It’s not that simple

1. You need to know C sharp

2. You either need to use dnspy or ilspy to open the file then remove the code, or you get the source code from github, remove the code for changing skins, then build it

[analog canopy]

ahh

I wish there was a way you could just set priority

oh well - thx for the response!

[gloomy coral]

you could use this version. Place it in mods folder, run the game with it installed and then open the settings file in saves folder and change the custom knight from false to true

[gloomy coral]

it is really simple

[analog canopy]

Whoa really??

Is the false to true IN game, or in the files of out of game?

[gloomy coral]

out of game

i mixed up my true and false and I'm to lazy to recompile it now

[vernal rain]

what in the world is that pfp

[nova fox]

Is there a faster way to fix the "repeated files below this collection are modified" problem without doing it manually? (Using spritepacker)

[gloomy coral]

#modding-discussion would be better place to ask

@analog canopy #archived-modding-help questions go here

[analog canopy]

okay so now we aer back here haha

[gloomy coral]

this was for MillyKKitty

[analog canopy]

got it

so apparently adding that file to my mods folder broke mod installer

[gloomy coral]

wdym break modinstaller

[gloomy coral]

Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on browse

then go to hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods and place the dll

[analog canopy]

whenever I bring up mod installer I get this message now

[gloomy coral]

check pins for a fix

[analog canopy]

okay deleting the mod folder fixed it

let me try it again

okokok

@gloomy coral how do I change from false to true again?

How do I open that up?

[gloomy coral]

Press win + r and then paste this

%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight

then open lightbringer settings

the value will only show up if you ran the game with this version insatlled

[analog canopy]

ohhhh

I need to run the game real quick then

okay changed it

lemme test

WOO

damn that was easy

Thank you @gloomy coral !!

[zealous sierra]

it keeps saying that i have to buy the game, even though i did buy it

[real jacinth]

So you bought it today?

[zealous sierra]

yeah

like 20 minutes ago

[real jacinth]

Lel

[zealous sierra]

something along those lines

[real jacinth]

Get rid of your stolen copy. Then reset the installer

[zealous sierra]

never mind, it booted up

thanks anyways

[frigid hinge]

Is it a way to change the key bindings in the debug mod????

[real jacinth]

Press the white circle for the one you want. Then press key you want it to be.

Your UI is fucked up though. Likely because of your chosen game resolution

[fair briar]

It looks better then on my screen

[frigid hinge]

But to change this binding I press the Mouse0 so the left mouse button and the menu freezes????

[real jacinth]

You have hazard respawn set to that

[frigid hinge]

it doesn't close the menu lol...

it was set to mouse0 on default

how do I use these then

[real jacinth]

It's not set to mouse0 by default. You must have changed it by accident

[frigid hinge]

Oh

[real jacinth]

You can reset all keybinds by deleting the setting file

.

Read debug bindings part of this

[frigid hinge]

Ok thanks 🙂

[formal snow]

How do I use premade savestates in debugmod?

Like how do I access the states from top left

[gloomy coral]

I think you use numpad keys?

[formal snow]

only 2 and 6 do something and they both lead to the nailmaster

[real jacinth]

Looks like quickslot load

Quickslot load, then press the number you want to load

Then press the load savestate button that you have bound

[formal snow]

ah now I got it, ty

[craggy herald]

uhm, my profiles arent loading and also the mods i wanted to use, hollow point and item and enemy rando just arent there

[gloomy coral]

lol it opened in dutch again

one more thing that doesnt really matter and idk if its bc of the mods

[gloomy coral]

when i open the game with benchwarp enabled it slowly loads and then crashes

[wheat orchid]

Is a controller connected

[scenic mantle]

yes

[wheat orchid]

Unplug until title screen

Bugs mod loading

[cold prawn]

I hide the menu for debug mode and now it won’t come back

[wheat orchid]

F1

[novel bronze]

is absolute inferno king grimm automatically installed with the inferno king grimm mod or do i need to do extra steps

[cold prawn]

I’ve been pressing that but since I run laptop it’s a shortcut and I can’t find a way to stop it

[novel bronze]

shift f1 overrides shortcuts on laptop

[wheat orchid]

Func + f1 works for me

[novel bronze]

shift with any of the f's makes it do the f in my experience

[cold prawn]

Ok give me a sec i‘lol try it out

[novel bronze]

i tried looking online but couldnt find an answer lol

[cold prawn]

I did both shift and fn and they both work thanks

[wheat orchid]

They are the same mod

[novel bronze]

oki ty

[merry matrix]

downloaded the mod installer and all the mods i wanted, worked before but mods dont show up in the game now

[pliant lantern]

If you don't have this fixed yet: Make sure that you have ModCommon on as well. If you're still crashing, post your ModLog.txt file (found in the Saves folder)

[pliant lantern]

• What OS are you on?
• What Mod Installer are you using?
• How long ago was "worked before"?
• When you are in the Main Menu, go to options, does it show a Mods option?

[scenic mantle]

i unplugged my controller before opening hollow knight but it still loaded and crashed

when i opened the game with debug and enemy hp bar it worked just fine

Try opening with just debug, hp bar, Qol, modcommon, Vasi, and serecore

[scenic mantle]

it works

[wheat orchid]

If you add back randomizer?

[scenic mantle]

lemme try real quick

nope

[night bane]

when I download the modinstaller, it says "Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately. Sequence contains no matching element." If I continue, it shows the modinstaller menu, but only with the manual option.

[night bane]

thanks, I had to delete the mod folder

[tepid bolt]

heyo so quick question, is there a way to play the older versions of Hollow Point and install that through the mod manager? Nothin' against the devs of it, I just really don't enjoy the 'adrenaline' mechanics and such and would just rather play one of the older releases before this was a feature. I have found the github and the older releases however I'm not sure how installing mods manually works, since most places just say use the modloader, which i did try though it doesnt seem to work that way- though perhaps i missed something

[real jacinth]

Put dll in mods folder

[tepid bolt]

I would though downloading the hollow point mod from github does not just give a dll

[real jacinth]

Did you download a release

And unzip it

[tepid bolt]

indeed

[real jacinth]

Then the zip should contain a dll

Unless you downloaded something else

Or didn't unzip

[tepid bolt]

unless the hollow point github is just
not the mod for some bizzare reason I downloaded the right thing

[real jacinth]

I'm seeing nothing in the GitHub releases

So you probably downloaded the source code

Which is not compiled

So.... You'll have to build the dll yourself

[tepid bolt]

understandable, quite unfortunate the older versions are not so easily obtainable

im sure i can manage this tho
still unfortunate

[rancid egret]

funny story i just got done with one of the white palace trail things i guess and i forgot to switch the lever before i jumped down and im never going to re do that so how do you get fly and no clip and stuff

[vernal rain]

debugmod

[pliant lantern]

This should be the old build of Hollow Point

[tepid bolt]

[empty abyss]

How do I use an advanced skin mod like daughter of hallownest?

[uncut yarrow]

i have a question

so my i installed the mod installer and i tried to use it to download the randomizer and now my hollow knight is acting super slugish and taking forever to load areas and now its hard to start up the game cause loading the save files is also slow now

is there anything i did wrong

[pliant lantern]

If your CPU isn't very good, then it may possibly be affecting things. Other than that, just make sure that you're using Randomizer 3, Benchwarp, QoL, ModCommon, Vasi, and SereCore. I wouldn't use any other mods at the same time if there's concern for lag either. You also may need to restart you computer if you haven't in awhile.

[pliant lantern]

You can either go into the folder and find the skin in the Custom Knight folder, and just use it like any other skin; or you can Drag-and-drop it over your same folder that the skin-pack starts with, and it'll modify multiple files.

[empty abyss]

Oh thx

[uncut yarrow]

@pliant lantern thanks for the help just got back from the store so i will double check everything is good with mods and restart

[uncut yarrow]

ok so i am still having problems its not even bringing up the mod information on the top left when i open hollow knight

[hushed field]

hello

[uncut yarrow]

i also dont think its my computer being bad cause this is a laptop i bought brand new about 2 months ago

[pliant lantern]

I mean, any computer stuff bought within the last ~6 month are probably going to be lower-end to an extent, otherwise really expensive, because there's some huge shortages on computer parts. That aside, IIRc HollowKnight almost exclusively cares about your CPU, which is just one part of the computer.

[pliant lantern]

Check if there's a "Mods" option in the Options section of your Main Menu.

[uncut yarrow]

there is but its blank

as in no text when i open/ click on it

[pliant lantern]

That means that a mod you have is acting up.
Follow the info in this pinned message: <#archived-modding-help message>

Delete both the ModdingApi.GlobalSettings files and the Benchwarp.GlobalSettings files

[uncut yarrow]

its working now

thanks a bunch

hey i need some help with the benchwarp mod

if anyone is available to help

[pliant lantern]

Just say what you need help with

and if someone can help, they will :)

[eternal tiger]

for some reason, all the places that i need to benchwarp to are red

when i start a new game

but for my friend

he can go anywhere

and his benches are white

[pliant lantern]

You can enable or Disable all benches

[native ice]

They only unlock once you've been to the benches, on the far right click settings and unlock all

[pliant lantern]

in the settings on the top right

ty so much

[jagged berry]

much appreciated

[eternal tiger]

really appreciate it

Normal game play is to have them disabled until you sit on them

Yes

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

Fireb0rn has a lot of helpful beginner modding tutorials.
IIRC one or two of them are slightly out of date (Like, I know he has a "Multiplayer Mod" tutorial, but he no longer actually uses that, he uses HKMP), but they are a good starting point.

[tender brook]

ah thanks and i didnt know Fireb0rn did that kinda stuff

Hello guys. Yesterday I installed mods for hollow knight and played with them without any problems. But, for some reason I cant play with mods today. The game opens without the teamcherry logo but there is no loading stick too. Mods dont show up on the menu screen and my saves look like this. Anyone knows how to fix that?
