where is the kaizo mod that skurry used in "hollow knight but impossible" video
I don't know what the video is but most likely DecorationMaster
thanks I fixed it
I'm getting this warning and I don't know what it's talking about
Are you on steam and did you downpatch the game?
I am on steam and I don't know what to do to downpatch it
Try verifying the integrity of your game
What?
Go to steam library, right click on hollow knight, go to properties, go to local files, verify the integrity of game files
screenshot your main menu (of the game)
alright
gimme a second
I've validated the integrity and then I'll go take a screenshot of the main menu
run the installer again
there we go now it's downloading
Did you have HollowPoint/Are using HollowPoint rn?
i used to have it installed
Did you run it on the save that you can't heal on?
yes
Check the pins

am i supposed to open the attachment?
this attachment i mean
Sorry what?
did it download?
did you put it in your mods folder with modding api installed?
this is the wrong folder
put it in content/resources/data/managed/mods
this is probs in the wrong content/managed/mods location
The mod's folder should be at the top, if not then change the sort by or search for it
Yea that looks right
what do i do next?
Follow the next step, launch the game
launched
test if it works
nup
It didn't work?
i cant heal no
I'm not sure then
yikes
you have soul?
yes
can i mod the game without the installer?maybe manually or something
Just use the installer
Screenshot your main menu of hollow knight for me
its the normal menu,nothing different
Please
Okay so if you can't get the mod installer working then you'll need to get the modding API. I'm not sure if that's just hosted here or what the link is to it, though. If somebody else can grab it for you, then you'll be able to start. Failing that, I could try to help get the mod installer working for you.
You said you got this through steam last time, right?
what does the installer say
yes
it must have given an error
Download this.
Fwiw they've been through this like twice before
You can find their old messages with the search function
oh ok i've been gone for longer then i thought then 👀
Once you have downloaded the above file, go into your downloads folder and drag it to your desktop.
ok
Don't open it yet though, we need to make sure you don't have the old one still
ok
ok its ready
Okay first let's make sure you don't have the old installer you downloaded last time.
Wherever you ended up downloading the original one; delete it if you still have it.
opk its the newest one
Did you delete the one you downloaded the last time you tried?
yea
Okay, that's a good start
Try the other method listen in pins then
Secondly we need to delete your mod installer config files
where is it
#archived-modding-help message
Run this .bat file
Follow these first three steps
it doesnt contain removing the config files of the installer?
thats the api
just run that .bat file
ok im confused
the bat should do the trick
i dont have a mods folder
Oh, that's my bad. I thought that .bat file needed to be in mods
Ignore the rest of the message, you just want to download the file and run it
what error?
it just doesnt open no errors or anything
you double clicked it and it did nothing right?
yea
Is it on desktop?
yes
Try right clicking and running as admin
try to restart your pc, run the installer as admin
i tryed but didnt work
well lets try to install all of it manually i guess
is the api somewhere online?
or just download daugther of hallownest
wasnt that a mod that makes hornet2 impossible?
ok
then place it in the managed? folder
it will ask you to overwrite something
the assembly-Csharp.dll
it didnt ask me to overwrite something
did you get the assembly-Csharp.dll?
ok
there is just the title now,no options to do anything
what am i supposed to do
title screen is just this
ok
there is no bat file there
I don't get you?
what am i supposed to download?
this....?
from where
That message contains the file
it has a download button down right
ok i didnt see the download button
discords viewer is good but it has some problems 
so its supposed to work now?
it fucking sucks
for text files i like it
ok its doing the i wont open until you try for 20 times thing,thats a good sign
game itself
i am very confused rn
Define same
verify integrity i guess
Screenshot this
Save files
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
ok im in that folder
Screenshot this
screenshot what
folder
the folder you're in
ok
also you have controller?
no
empty
try opening the game
Screenshot title screen
ok there is a mods option in the settings too
thank you guys very much
also question,can i just put mods in the mods file and use it lke that?
Yes
That's what installer does
But you have to make sure you have the correct dependencies installed also
Modcommon and that's iirc
ok
you already have modcommon right
ye
wierd
Hello
I'm trying to use the custom skin mod but whenever i load the game and click on the skin name it does not work
does anyone know how to fix this problem?
make sure that your file structure is: customknight -> skinname -> png's
and you have modcommon
It seems like i have the files in the right locations
Screenshot your image files, including the address bar at the top
when i click the skin i want to use, my character blinks and then it just stays as the default
Okie dokie
Do you want me to DM you the images?
Either post them here or DM if you don't want to
I know some people don't like to show their PC username (though I'm not entirely sure why)
I suppose if it's you're actual full name that might not be a great idea, actually
yeah
ah
hollow point doesn't allow skin usage
sadly
otherwise the gun will disappear iirc
darn
After crashing a couple times it finally decided to work
thank you very much
i am having some issues with the Randomiser mod
the spawns are all jacked up and i spawn out of bounds
i dont have rando rooms installed
Screenshot your title screen
Looks like you're in bounds but missing textures
Camera doesn't follow you out of bounds
i forced the camera to follow me the ground is there
just not on the camera
i cant use benchwarp because the pause menu wont show
- Qol failed to load 2. That isn’t the pause menu?
k
Usually when something says it failed to load....it's a good idea to check that out
how do i check that out?
Install vasi
Most likely you’re missing a dependency, in this case, Vasi
ah i see
It’s a good idea to keep library mods such as modcommon, Vasi, serecore, SFCore, frogcore, and weavercore on (wow this list is getting long)
thankyou its working now
how would i unmod the game?
Verify game file integrity
ok
is there a reset all button for the debug mod? Somehow I accidentally increased the nail damage to like 200 or something because I'm one shotting everything and I don't really want to do that, but I also don't know how much to decrease it. Please help?
Dmg is shown in the menu on the left
Press the dmg decrease button until it's back to normal
ok so, whenever i try to manually install a mod into the mod installer, it accepts the file, but it never shows up in the menu or in the game
You have to select the dll file. Not a zip
And manually added mods will show on the installer if you close and open it
Do I use my own ip to allow someone to join using multyplayer mod?
What folder are mods even supposed to go to?
everytime i open modinstaller 2 these two mods are always out of date i don't know how to fix it
Click the orange box
i did but when i close the installer and re-open it same thing happens
Then just leave it
but rich presence mod doesn't seems to work in game :(
It's in the pins
There's a Multiplayer Help message in the pins, that has all of the info you need if you plan on using the multiplayer mod(s) that are on Mod Installer
I just completed the game in 4h 15min, but steam didnt give me both the speedrun achievements. I heard mods dont disable achiemevents, and i got the "game completed" achievement, but i dont know why i didnt get the other two. what am i missing?
I've heard of people having bugs with getting achievements, both in vanilla and with mods. I accidentally got one of speedrun achievements while playing Randomizer though, so you definitely can get them while modded.
What mods do you have installed?
just the API and the debug mod
- What version of Hollow Knight are you on, and where did you get it?
- Did you use Mod Installer?
will i get into trouble if i say its cracked
Better question: will you get support if it’s cracked? No.
ok sry my b
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)
i was able to mod it before
didn't have the ability to say thanks so I am doing it now, thanks
Why doesn’t anybody read the pins?
i am so sorry
I don't do it since I am dumb
Next time that you download a cracked version, just remember that the developers have worked hard to make that game. By not paying them you are declining them money for their hard work.

STOP TELLING PEOPLE THEY CAN GET MODS TO WORK ON THEIR PIRATED COPIES
Just tell them they can't, FFS
I want to revert back to unmoded/vanilla Hollow knight but the modinstaler said something of not finding the path to the hollow knihgt and asked to check it's integraty, then I went around trying to see the problem and not understanding what I should do I just unistaled all the mods I had isntaled. then I tryed again and It still wouldnt do it. I closed it reopened and It is now with a blanck box but a corner were it says manualy.
what seems to be my problem here
Verify integrity of game files in Steam or GoG, then don't open the mod installer again
Opening it will mod your game again.
(I know the pop-up tells you to open it again but don't. I don't know why it says to do that.)
thanks, I´ll try to find verefy integrity on steam then.
Right click on hollow knight and then click properties
I think it's under "local files" but I'm not sure because they changed the layout recently
it is in local files indeed
it's at 90 percent, a mmt
1 file failed the validacion and will now be reaquired
I'm from another contry, so thats my best traslacion
That's worked then
That's word for word the English text that comes up
So that's good
great, I wanted to unmod the game to finaly do patheon of hallownest legit
Good luck. P5 is real hard
how do i find the right file to put the mod installer in
Mod installer itself can just go on your desktop or whatever
ok
If you mean when it asks you to locate your game files, you can type ?saves here to find it
yes but i cant type

ok
my mods just arent loading, i have tried uninstalling hk and each mod individualy then reinstalling all of it and its still just not loading when i load hk
but if i try to revert to unmodded it just says it cant locate hollow knight
Screenshot main menu
If you wanna go unmodded, use steam to verify integrity
So I got a problem that I can't heal with soul
I can still use spells with the a button
But when I hold it I can't heal
D:
I tried that
Didn't work
i can't get the custom knight mod working. i downloaded the custom knight mod from the API, moved the skins i wanted to use to the CustomKnight folder, i did everyhing correctly but when i choose a skin in game, my character glows then nothing happens. can anyone help me?
since the first fix didn't work, try the other fixes in that pin
screenshot main menu and how you put the skins
i put the skins exactly the way API told me to
screenshot
of the folder? or in game screenshot?
Not sure what you're referencing as the API. The API just hooks mods into the game. It doesn't tell you anything
i mean the readme text file of the custom knight mod

whenever i click one of these, options dissapear and when i unpause, my character glows but nothing happens, and yes there is png files in the skin folders
You don't have modcommon
what is that?
here it is, looks vanilla lol
if i go into options then mods some of them show up there, but dont work, like itll say tribe of battle or qol is on, but text doesnt go fast and SoB is vanilla
I tried going into the mods menu it sometimes just only works for customskin
The Mods option in the main menu isn't used for very much
Look in the pins for the Benchwarp fix

Hey, I need some help getting the impossible hollow knight mod by kaizo running
I've downloaded the files but I'm not sure how to import them into the modsintaller
or if that's even the way I'm supposed to go about it
there should be a fireb0rn video on it

Here's my guide on installing and using the DecorationMaster Mod, a mod which lets you both customize levels and play other people's customized levels! Credits to Sawyer and shoutouts to 56.
DOWNLOADS:
https://github.com/a2659802/HollowKnight.Decoration/releases
Under "Assets", download DecorationMaster.dll.
when i try to open hollow knight with custom knight i get crasher error
Can you send a picture of the error?
so uh, you guys know any good choices of making hollow knight skins
I'm thinking of making cool hollow knight skin
not recolor, im talking h a i r
it's the same process as a recolor, you just edit the sprites
How does the multiplayer mod and bosses work?
No Hollow Knight Multiplayer mods have any form of Synchronized Enemies right currently.
HKMP, which isn't on the installer, is working on getting Bosses to be synchronized, and has a dev build that only works on 3 bosses (and only in GodHome) currently.
Other than that, all Multiplayer mods will lock the gate on any players that don't have the boss defeated yet when any player walks over the trigger zone.
Is this a question?
i cant heal with soul
healing got disabled somehow
i can use the a button for spells
but i cant heal
(mac)
It's because you opened that Save with a mod, without reading the "ReadMe" for the mod, even though it was in the mod's title
ok
Look through the pins for the "Hollow Point Fixes" one
tried that
Tried what?
There's three different methods.
I believe they tried atleast 2 of the three
I don't see anything that indicates that they tried manually fixing the save. It just looks like they tried using the .dll (which, idk if it was ever tested with Mac, so it may not work on Mac for some reason?).
Maybe the playerdata value got changed but the game didn't recheck for it so the game played at it's old (wrong) value until the next quitout
So @dwarfwoot maybe add in a line in that pin that goes along the lines of "may require loading save 2-3 times for changes to occur"
So they should add the .dll, load the save, then save and quit. And may need to do it again?
Not save and quit, reload the save 1-2 times
Wouldn't Save+Quitting be part of reloading a save?
Open the file, save+quit to menu, then reopen it?
I need a reverse-
, for when I'm tired and not understanding things.
Save quit could mean closing the game but I think that isnt required. I think reloading save would be enough
I believe they closed the game in between trying, they said they restarted the modinstaller, maybe ask them exactly what they mean?
Restarting mod Installer doesn't really affect mods
And definitely can't affect save file values
Which is why I suggest we ask them to clarify exactly what they did
Wdym restarted the Installer?
i browzed game files
verified the integrity of them
and the mod installer stopped
so i made it work again
😄
So you did the fixes, then went back to vanilla, then reinstalled mods?
how HollowKnightDRPC works?
Read readme
how can i install skins

Hey people, anyone know if there is a way to remove all of the UI elements?
Things like the <Ascend> at the Crossroads chain and the <Rest> at benches?
Had a look at debug but it seems to only remove things like the HP bar
I mean specifically the ascend prompt here, if there is a way to remove that
Cause you can remove the soul meter and masks
And the area prompt goes away after a bit
But the ascend prompt isnt hidden by that
it only changes things of the knight, not its surroundings
Hence me asking if there is a way to hide it
You would have to make your own mod for that, one does not currently exist
done already but thx
Hmmm right. Wonder how hard that is
You'll have to check out the pins in #archived-modding-development. There's some guides on how to do stuff in there.
Ah thank you!
Probably you could zoom out and place the knight a but to the side to remove the prompt and crop the image to make it semetrical
Also probs wanna remove the light from player to make it less obvious
I would do so if I didnt need the Knight visible
I might just have to swallow my pride and resign myself to having the ascend prompt visible
If you're just trying to make the image you could do invisible Knight like above, then just grab the sprite and paste it in
The sprites are in the pins of... #art-discussion ?
Not 100% sure which channel

Ok thanks
on steam
Wait what
Ah ok i was very confused
In the pins is a download link to a modinstaller, there are 2 versions, modinstaller and modinstaller 2, modinstaller 2 is for mac iirc, download whatever version you need, run it( not from your downloads folder, drag it onto the desktop) in there are all the mods
hey guys i was wondering how exactly do u remove the mods from the game? i uninstall the mod installer already but the mod seems to stay within the game
I think that's it
urm should i reinstalll the mod installer ? i kinda delete them already lol
lol
yea
does this channel have the link?
okok thanks
you're welcome man
no like, I wanna know what is more preferable
right now, I'm using paint 3d because I have no other app to edit
this is what i'm at
it doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the game
You could use krita
You could use Photoshop
You could use paint.net
You could use gimp
You could use anything that exports PNG files
I followed the pins relating to the multiplayer mod yet it doesn't work
Follow them moar better
game says no
That sucks. Good luck figuring it out
for some reason I cant heal anymore
My soul is greyed out
have you seen this before?
What mods do you have
I unistalled them but it was Hollow point, qol, modding api, debug
where can i download the silksoon sprites?
guys ive download the custom knight but how do i change it
thank god it works again
I can finally do path of pain properly 
room name for Colosseum of fools?
thinking about doing last trial without computer lagging like crazy cuz of the audience animations

Benchwarp
Charmnotchmod

Modcommon
that's all
what is mod that makes me equip infinate charms

@gloomy coral is opening a dll in dnspy supposed to look like this?
do you have anything simpler
wdym? should be easy enough to install through the modinstaller
Hello, does anyone know what this mod is? I downloaded dubug mod but the hitboxes can only be seen on enemies.
#archived-modding-development and yes, but there should be more on the left
something like a list
my apologies, I thought development channel was for modders lol
yeah there's a sidebar
it's just for selecting dll stuff right
dw its a bit confusing
this one?
yeah I was wondering where was the code mulhima actually made
confused me for a while
@undone vault yes, this one, after seeing your screenshot I googled about "mod manager" and figured it out, thank you^_^
hollowpoint and or debug
I'm trying to change my defualt install path because my mods aren't working and i think the path is the problem but I don't know if im supposed to choose a folder in the hk folder or choose the the hk folder.
guys i installed the enemy randomizer but when i create a new save there isn't the option to randomize the enemies
Because it doesn't have that there
You just press the load enemies button on the title screen. That's it
Yea it should. But why use dnspy?
I sent the code I used
oh I was just testing stuff out
Any skin i download wont work, it will show up in game on the select menu but it will only reset the knights model, not replace it with the new skin. Thoughts? Please ping me if you know.
- did you download modcommon?
- are the files in the correct place?
Download it from the pinned messages.
Move it out of your downloads folder to your desktop.
Open it.
Ive seen modcommon in my files, so i think so. And yes, they did work a while ago but after trying to download more and potentially messing something up none of them work anymore, not even the ones that did before
However most of them never worked to begin with
Screenshot the inside of one of your skin's folders, including the address bar
I got it, my bad lmao thank u!
does anyone know anything on how to fix not being able to focus? i was using the gun mod and accidentally went on my main save and messed it up
i tried that but it doesn't work :(
What did you try?
adding the dll file into the mods folder
Did you run the affected save file?
yep
Could you send a video of it not working
why not
sorry bout the super low res. had to compress it
but as you can see, my soul vessel looks weird and i cant focus
Screenshot main menu
You don't have the modding API installed
i uninstalled it
Without it that mod wont work
yeah i don't want it to work anymore, i just wanted to fix my messed up save. so i decided to uninstall all the mods and the api
What
hollow point messed up save, this mod fixes save. but the fix mod won't work without the modding api because that's how mods work
run the game with the fix mod installed
i think i know
thank you so much! it works now
do i have to keep the fix mod running now?
can i disable it or delete it?
You can delete / disable it now
and you can "Go back to Unmodded" if you want
Hollow Point just makes a change to your save file itself, which that mod un-does
that sadly doesnt work as it apparently cant locate vanilla hk
That can also be fixed if you want to
oh, how?
Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on verify integrity
oh i did that yesterday and it still doesn't work
ill try again
it said this
still says this
same thing happened yesterday
this means it worked
After Verifying Integrity, don't open Mod Installer
so my hollow knights vanilla now, right?
Instead, unless you opened Mod Installer again
oh
Mod Installer automatically makes it modded whenever you open it
After you use Verify Integrity, you need to rename a file in order to get the "revert to unmodded" button to work
you'd need to copy Assembly-CSharp.dll,
then rename the copy Assembly-CSharp.vanilla
what i did, was i stopped the hollow point mod on the installer, viewed the integrity of the files on steam, had it fix it, went back on the installer, let it get fix, and it worked

Hm
How do you use multiplayer mod?
Check the Multiplayer Procedure 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 (https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP) instead, 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.
Does anyone know what the "AdditionalMaps" mod does? It doesn't have a "Readme" nor does it have a description in the google drive.
It adds obtainable maps for GodHome and Whitepalace iirc
No idea why the ReadMe wasn't wherever you looked-- it does have one:
https://github.com/SFGrenade/AdditionalMaps
Oh cool, I like that, thank you!
yep
Hello, i tried playing with a friend with the multiplayer mod
but once he joins he doesnt move on my screen
and i dont move on his screen
what could be the problem?
Oh nvm it got fixed lol we restarted the game
im trying to set up the tracker for randomizer but the icons are all huge and dont change with the scale option https://i.imgur.com/ak4h6gB.png
I cant figure out how to get the skins for custoum knight how do i get skins
check fireb0rn's custom knight video, he has a google drive link in description
ok thx

Is there a guide to install the randomiser 3 mode !?
thank you
Uh, not really? There's a wiki page for it, but it's very easy to install
You just need Mod Installer, and then install it
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
i have it but like where do i put it in my mod folder ?
When you install it with Mod Installer, MI will tell you what other mods you need
Is there a reason you can't use the installer?
The current version of Rando3 is on the installer, and it's the easier method to use.
Steam shouldn't give you any issues with it. Just make sure that you use the one from the message I linked ☝️ , and after you download it, you need to move it to you desktop and run it
oooh okok tyty
can you mod if you have it from the microsoft store?
hello, I just installed the debug mod because I want to see collision boxes, but once I get into the game I can't find it in the UI/find a bind for it. anyone know how that works?
as soon as I ask I immediately find it, figures lol
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 in the form of steam keys)
If you haven't yet, you may also want to install the "HitBox"mod. I don't remember the exact name offhand
well guess ima buy the game again
Hi guys! As someone who's pretty stupid and wants to create their first mod, how would I go about changing the sounds in the game? Would it be simply naming the audio file the same thing or something more?
Something more.
I think that someone was working on a mod to help with replacing sound files, but I don't remember the specifics. You'll most likely need to make a mod file for it though, which will require learning the modding tools/API a bit. Info for that is in the pins in #archived-modding-development
Alright! I'll have to figure it out. Thank you!
Trying to get the enemizer to work, but haven't had much luck.
Aside from the no-clip setting that comes with it, all of the other options don't seem to do anything.
Is it just broken in the current patch, or am I missing something to get it set up properly?
Thought it might be because of item randomizer interfering, but I turned that off for the time being and enimizer still doesn't function.
All the other mods I have are just UI and skins related aside from QoL, so I don't think they'd affect it.
Did you click on the randomize enemy button on the title screen
oh!
ah, I guess not ^^;
I suppose I was expecting it to be when you chose a file, or it randomized them in the game from the options.
Also for some reason it didn't do anything when I clicked at first from there, had to exit and relaunch
seems to be what I'm looking for, so thank you.
By the way, does it function with item rando on, then?
(I mean, certain rooms might not have skips working properly with the wrong enemies, but aside from that?)
hmm... I can generate a different enemizer seed from that start menu... but I still can't seem to launch one with it?
Why did you exit and relaunch
If it lags it is because it needs to load 150+ enemies
And yes it does work with normal rando
Fwiw, Enemy Rando has a weird first-time use bug, and you do have to exit and re-launch for the "Randomize Enemies" button to be there. (specifically, you have to go to Options > Mods and toggle "Enemy Randomizer" Off then On; then restart HK)
I relaunched it because originally when I clicked on the enemizer from the options it didn't do anything for some reason.
But I haven't gotten any lag, or loading screens outside of the usual mod stuff.
Hm, ok, I'll try that
Aha! took a...couple tries, but this one seems to have worked
Seems like I needed to force quit it instead of just exiting from the main menu. Either that or it was just coincidence. But I'm actually loading it in now, so thank you both for the help o/
Thanks, I hate it xD
Nah but seriously, should cause some good shenanigans.
Thanks again ^w^
Fwiw, it looks like you're using the wrong tracker. There's been some updates.
Use these ones
Is Lightbringer compatible with CharmOverhaul and EnemyHPBar?
also, do you need to Launch Vanilla Hollow Knight first before adding mods?
Lightbringer changes charms so best avoid using it with charmoverhaul, hp bars works fine
Probs not, yes

yo does anyone know how to get the mod that shows you how many geo you spent, i saw skurry use it but cant find it anywhere

will this disable acheivements?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
but it will not disable achievements
ok thanks
how do i install the multiplayer mod?
With the installer
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
@manic monolith probably better to come in here, so as not to clog up the other channel
yeah ok
so whenever i try to open the mod installer it says are you sure cause it was downloaded from the internet
Did you take the .app file out of the .zip that you downloaded?
huh?
the one with the blurry screaming thing with small limbs?
The file you downloaded was a .zip, and it had another file inside of it
(Maggot prime
)
yes
The Mod Installer itself should be on your desktop
And this is what you need to do to allow the app the run
Looks like it
Maybe try modinstaller 2 or modinstaller.exe?
It shouldn't be exe
modinstaller 2 is the same i accidentally downloaded it twice
its in downloads
Try putting it on your desktop
not good with macs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ideally, the app itself should be on the desktop. But it should be fine in a folder on the desktop
didnt work :|
Just not in Downloads, because most OSs put extra security on that folder
i did it from desktop but it didnt work
its not maggot prime, its omega maggot prime
I'm trying to remember where the mod installer 2 log gets saved on Mac
right click on the modinstaller and click on open package contents. then open the execuatble named modinstaller
i had a feeling package contents would help, i was just looking at it
Wait is there an archive inside of the .zip‽

Yeah, but then why would they need to show package contents?
i clicked show package contents and clicked contents and it gave me this
Bugs 🐛
for some people they need to open, for others it works 
Anyone know of a good way to have a free/low cost MacOs VM?
I genuinely want to have a lil' one just to better understand the environment.
Buy a macbook 

can i close any of these tabs? also how do i work this thing lol
you can close the finder window
is that the one on the right
the other window I'm not sure about just keep it open
The tabs stay open, but you can close the installer wherever you're done picking mods.
Click to install any mods that interest you (ideally you want to only do a few "game affecting" mods at a time, to prevent conflicts)
They should automatically get their dependencies (those you can have lots of without worry), like ModCommon, Vasi, and SereCore
You may need to click "update" on the API once, as I can't remember if that has been fixed yet or not, but if it keeps asking to update after, then ignore it
And there should be an arrow next to each mod name, that gives you a description of what the mod does
well you can use the modinstaller in the pins
and the location of the mods folder is also in the pins
click on the box named installed
now for a qustion: my sister is trying to use custom knight but when launching into the game and pausing she sees no skin selection window
the mod seems to have loaded fine and there are 2 custom skins in the directory but it doesn't seem to appear
screenshot the directory
it's mac, blabla/managed/mods/custom_knight
the "blabla" is the reason for the issue
for mac the path is content -> managed -> mods
oh really
sorry had to go for a bit
i clicked that box
it just says modding api is installed
i dont get you
yeah so if you launch the game you should have rando installed now
you can close the modinstaller now
and terminal?
yeah
I mean if you want to install/uninstall mods in the future
ok
any suggestions for enemy randomizer settings?
im using enemy randomizer and randomizer 3
if randomizer 3 is already randomizing rooms should i turn off room mode setting
or is that different
that is different
ok so i should just leave the settings?
leaving settings to default always works
For Enemy Randomizer, you may need to "activate" it
yeah got it :)
Kk
Idk why but custom skins don't work for me. I have followed all the steps that multiple HK youtubers have shown but they still don't work.
Is there something specific I need to do to make them work?
What OS are you on? And post a screen shot of one of your skin folders, including the path to it at the top
Also, a screenshot of your HK main menu can help
I'm on windows
unzip them
Yeah, you didn't follow the videos lol
All skins need to be structured exactly like the default one
So, not in .zip folders, and the pngs need to be the only thing in them
Ok. I guess Fireb0rn lied to me
I guess
Ah yes. Fireborn lied. It's definitely not user error.
just ask the question here
is that I download the mod but it does not let me in so I think if there is another application to put mods
how do I do that
what patch number is your game
wait a moment I'm in the hollownest pantheon
...
?
Why would you ask while you're mid game 🙃
so?
start over all pantheon by hallownest
then #hk-general is the channel to go
and the screenshot?
my game version is 1.4.2.4
buy the game
then get out of this channel/server
Then you can't mod it
Lol
Why would you ask for help when you didn't buy the game?
ayo im on mac trying to mod hollow night but like honestly im new to moding. can someone help me with an invincibility mod or something?
Download the mod installer for Mac from the pins
word
Then you want debug mod
can i find that in the pins too?
No, that's on the mod installer
When you download it, move it to your desktop, then open it
check
There's a bunch of mods on there
hi guys
im using the randomizer
and the miniboss fight in crossroads
before hot spring
is broken
nothing spawns
reload the game and go back to there. or noclip through the doors
that's why that option is part of enemy randomizer
can i change options to noclip and then change back in the game?
Yes
ok i didnt know that cool
ok so here is my question.... how do i install the gun mod?
- Mod Installer
- "Hollow Point (SEE README)
- Read the readme (you can view it from mod installer, or in the pinned ReadMe list)
How would I go about changing the in-game text?
Modding discussion is prolly a better place to ask imo
what do you wanna change?
if you wanna change it for yourself you could use this https://github.com/TheMulhima/HollowKnight-ChangeIngameTextMod/blob/main/README.md
thank u
does hollow knight on steam have a workshop
hey nice i was about to ask what mod relyea used to get noclip and items and stuff but i scrolled up and found it
i dont think it does
ok
Hey guys I need a bit of a help
I installed some mods and now my game language is in some weird symbols
disable/uninstall arts mods
Thanks a lot!
Hello, i used the wondows mod installer i choose the path for the mods but now, my game don't have the mods.
- What OS are you on?
- Where did you get Hollow Knight from?
- Which Mod Installer are you using, and where did you get it from?
Os ?
Hi guys! What is the mod to have ennemies totally randomized (the one I have currently is that all mob of one kind are the same)
Can someone plz tell me how do I download the AK-47 mod? I saw it in a YT video and I thought it would be funny to try
Operating System, although I assume it's windows, since you used the Windows Mod Installer.
There's like 3 pinned
I don’t find the place to change enemy rando settings
Just items
Use the Mod Installer. Read the Mod Summaries in the pins to see what you want.
Hollow Point has a lot of extra info you'll need to read in the ReadMe too
Read the ReadMe of Enemy Randomizer. All ReadMes are pinned if you have an issue opening/finding them.
Ok thanks
Hi, im having some issues getting modinstaller2 to work under linux using Hollow knight 1.2.2.1. My game runs fine prior to running modinstaller2 to install the modding api and debug menu but after i install them the game black screens on start up. So far i've tried removing both mods (modding api and debug menu) and my game still blackscreens, i tried opening the game from command line to see if there were any messages i could use to debug but there's nothing that sticks out, the game gets stuck after initializing my controllers.
You can't use a Mod Installer for 1221
The Mod Installers only work for CP
Ah ok that's what i thought you were going to say, hadn't read any documentation on it
Do you happen to know where i can get the modding api separately? I've tried to use the link from speedruns.com in the tutorial section but it seems the drive link is dead
Are you using 1221 for speedrunning?
Trying to at least
Check #resources for some of the stuff you'll need. There are some specific 1221 mods for speedrunning. The current GDrives are pinned in this channel and #modding-discussion (IDK why the ones on SRC aren't updated
)
The Mods GDrive is sorted by author, so you'll probably want to view it in List mode, and then there should be a folder with the older versions in it
