yeah, it's called debug mod 
How do I swap to the gun in hollow point?
Read the readme
I didn’t find anything
Then read it again
Wow thanks you save me
I've ran into another odd issue, i got the appropiate modding API from GDrive (1.2.2.1 linux) and now my game boots fine but once in main menu it doesn't display any options no matter what i try.
Ive tried other versions of the modding API but those have the same behaviour
I would honestly suggest checking with #speedrunning , or joining the Speedrun HK Discord and checking there (the link is on the Speedrun.com site HK sidebar)
Sounds like a plan, thanks again for the help
hey could i get help, ima trying to find a sound file from the soul sanctum mini boss (soul warrior 1) but i cant find it.
Check the readme docs in the pins for the readme for this mod
I've read the readme all it says are the controls
i reinstalled hollow knight yesterday, all the modinstaller files are working and modinstaller 2 still shows i have my mods installed, but the game doesn't seem to connect to it
(mac)
should i uninstall the game, erase the package contents and reinstall it again?
this shows up and my heart sinks
i'm reinstalling the game
hopefully it works
reinstalled, doesn't work
help
All I can say is that you are not the first to have this issue. Maybe @glass meteor can help

How do I get himachi to work? I'm trying to play HK multiplayer but we can't see eachother
Both players need to turn Hamachi on, then you use the "Hamachi IP" that is near the power button on it
We moved on trying to use HKMP that you recommended. I appreciate you answering my question and I'll let you know if we have any trouble
When using HKMP what port should we use? We tried 26590 but it said it was invalid
never mind got it working 😎
I heard that there is modinstaller 2 or something like that and i saw it in releya's stream, where can i download it and it is an upgraded modinstaller or something else?
If your current mod installer is working you don't need the new one, it's just a UI redesign.
But you can find it in the pins
Ok, thanks for the info!
Hey all! I'm having some trouble with the debug mode. I was wondering if anyone could help
Everything seems to function well, but the "cheat" section doesn't respond at all. I'm wanting to activate no clip but it doesn't light up or anything whenever I try to click on it
Do you have more saves mod?
First of all, where did you get the game?
It causes debug top menu to not work
remove moresaves
The binds still work tho
Where do I find TWP’s challenges?

do I have to do anything other than just installing the debug mod for it to work? I installed it on the launcher but the debug menu doesn't show up
- do you have the mods option in options
- do you have modcommon?
Press F1 or FN+ F1 if on laptop
someone pls explain this
i have customhpbar and is it really proportionate to the amount of health left 
cuz this was after 1 nail and 3 shrieks in phase 6, which should be 300 / 2200 hp but the math doesn't add up
I installed modinstaller in wrong game files, how i can move them?
this way it means i'm around 510 hp after 3 shrieks (i may have left out shaman accidentally but)
does a mod do this to you or is this just a display thing? if it's legit increased hp to around 600+ for phase 6 i'll throw my laptop out of the window
I have it but the debug mod isn't there
will try
It does show it is installed at the top corner, but there is no option on the mods tab for it
and I am using modcommon
can anyone tell me how do i get the API to install the mods?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Please help, I don't know where to find it
the files
thanks
wdym with "wrong game files"
I had hollow knight in other place, but I reinstalled it to a new place
And i forgot about that ;-;
Installed modloader in older files
delete the old install if possible and reset the installer (instructions in pins)
Alright, thanks
Debug mod wont show up there.
Open a save and press f1
ok, will try
Maybe it's showing health from phase 4 -6
also, how do I set up debug keys? like when you tap something on the keyboard and it does something like no-clip
Theres a key bind menu. Over there click the white dot next to the key you wanna bind and press a key
ok
After trying to disable mod, installer crashes and error says: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path.
Any way to give myself geos with debug mod?
the items tab
wait so will it take more hits to kill or is it just the display
nah. phase 1-4 is super clear
just the display
ah thanks, now i'm safe
Hello, just wanted to ask if I want to play randomizer 3 with a friend, does it work if we both install the required mods and he joins my game?
Breaths in
Just completed every achievement in Hollow Knight and ready to tackle on some mods
Can someone help me setup please? Thank you

If i get hollow knight on steam, i can have mods, right ?
Mod installer needs to be in which directory? Can't find which one
Desktop
Yeah not working
If you're both playing Randomizer, then make sure that you both use the same settings and seed.
Your starting Geo count should be the same to confirm.
You can alternatively do "MultiWorld", which is a Multiplayer Randomizer, where your items are mixed together between your worlds.
this is not descriptive enough to help with
"Not Working" doesn't help any. Please use meaningful descriptions if you want help.
Fair point... It is saying "Please select valid installation path to Hollow Knight"
Where did you get Hollow Knight from?
Would we be able to play on the same world?
no
Steam Dwarf. I have my steam folder on a D drive to save space
rip, thx :/
if you set your randomizer seed to the same, your randomization will be the same
Hello, where can I find the folder to instal modinstaller
so you can "co-op" that way
but your worlds will still be your own. they will just be identical to each other
debug
The same-world stuff is separate, but mostly. You can use the Multiplayer Mod in the installer for that, or you can use HKMP it (https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP).
i see thanks!
I'm unsure what this means. Mod installer is in the pins, and it's just an exe, you don't need to "install" it
It is okay now I have solved it
The installer wants you to point out to the folder that contains HK's .exe
when it says that something is out of date, does it update it itself
alright, thx @pliant lantern
yh I have and the box became a tick and wen tblue
then it's updated
alright thanks
Also, some things just always stay out of date, fwiw.
Sorry for the ping reply but thank you
its not working. i selected the installed folder and selected debug mod but it s still not going through walls?
You need to read the instructions for mods you install
do the games need to be closed before installating?
debug has like 100 functions
and yes
you can't change game files when they're in use
i see
Every main mod has a readme file, and you should read it before trying to use the mod
The Zote Installer should allow you to open them, or you can find them all in the pins 
There are two different windows installers 🙃
which mod is a cool randomiser mod, since there is three
and the mod i installed is a single exe file
buy the game
stealing is bad
this is the official hk discord. we don't condone or help thieves
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)
i buyed on my nintendo switch
don't care
Doesn't matter
you need a real pc copy
Specifically, a Steam or GoG one though
and i didnt wanted to buy again for pc
i see
well i know pirating is bad and i am not proud of it
they are all cool
The Windows Store version is also not moddable
well thanks for help everyone

k thanks
There are technically more than three, but that mostly doesn't matter.
Randomizer3 is the main one.
MultiWorld, which isn't on the installer and is slightly behind in options, is the version that allows for one seed used among many players
idk if im just stupid but i cant find gun mod anywhere
hey, does anyone here know how to change the keybindings for the debug-mod
You click the white dot across from the bind name and press the key you want
(This also applies to mouse clicks so be careful)
well my little brother changed it to mouse clicks
You can reset all binds if you want by going to your save files path after closing the game and deleting all files with debug in their name

Hey could someone help me revert HK back to unmodded? It says that it is unable to locate vanilla HK and that I need to verify the integrity of game files
Where did you purchase the game
steam
Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on verify integrity
Thank you so much
guys
every time when i install modding api my game stop working
someone can help me?
Can you explain it in better detail
- Where did you purchase the game
- Is a controller plugged in
- What mods are on
wait
in what way? your computer blue screens? you can't press the launch game button? the game crashes at a certain point? the game is just gone?
gotta be more specific
I also love the response “wait” which is occurring more and more every time I ask where the game was purchased
Most likely a pirated copy or something then
I dont think the more save works
What’s the problem with it?
thanks for sharing
How do I activate it
You install it with a mod installer
you install it
I have it installed
Use the [ and ] keys on the saves tab
On the saves menu you can use [ and ] to switch
in the future, not a good idea to lead off with "I don't think this mod works"
sry
Everyone does it so not much can be done :(
trying to teach people one at a time
blaming a mod off the bat is usually not the right thing. makes you look dumb
it still could be the mod. but better to assume you've made a mistake first

Recently the nodding api has been having some strange effects on my game. Whenever I try and use it it makes all my save files dissappear and makes me unable to play the game (as well as no music on the title screen). When I go to the api and select revert back to unmodded it says it is unable to locate vanilla hollow knight. The only way I've found to fix the problem is to uninstall both the api and the game its self then re-download the game. Is there any way to fix this?

Ah ok, thank you :)
is there any mod that let me levitate and pass walls
debug
is the mod installer called modinstaller.zip
o okay, is there a yt vid on what to do after i download modinstaller
o uhhh, alright ill try
it said "couldnt locate the hollow knight installation folder Please use the button below to select it" but i dont see an installation folder in my files
do you have the game installed?
where
you just have to browse to it with the menu that comes up
if it's installed, it's on your pc
its in the folder called "usb drive" and its called "hollow knight" i have it on a memory chip
but i have it plugged in as well
that's not on your computer
do i need to move it there
like an external drive? like 500 GB drive? or like a thumb drive/stick
its a 60GB usb drive
so i think its external- but i use it for storage because i have potato laptop
yep
browse to it with the menu that comes up
the drive should have a letter callout
like D:/ or E:/
open that
in the installer menu that comes up
its D:/
then go to where your game is in it
and select the HK folder
theres only steamapps
and steamapps.dll
so open steamapps
I don't see how this is an issue
your game isn't going to be installed at the root D:/ level unless you specifically put it there
so it's probably in the same steam folder structure as usual
o i found the Hollow Knight folder with the game in it
inside seamapps-common
i think i did it
its downloading now
thank you!
hello! i'm using the daughter of hallownest skin and i'm wondering if there's a way to replace the vanilla sprite with the daughter of hallownest sprite instead of using custom knight where i have to select the skin every time i load the game?
ah dang, no idea how to do that :/
I guarantee it'll take you much longer to do that than to spend 2 seconds pausing and clicking the skin
fair
also, i installed bingo ui and randomapmod via mod installer but i'm wondering where/how to get versions like the ones in this video?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifb5JORzg7s
We're trying out Hollow Knight's item randomizer, with its new Cursed settings: you now have to find directional nail slashes, dash directions, and wallcling directions! On top of that, we're playing using Hell Mod's double damage, and on Steel Soul. It's going to be fun! Can we beat the game with these settings??
Additional Rules:
(1) No using...
if anyone knows
what version
are you saying the icons that are always on screen?
that's a streaming overlay
that's not actually in game
in fire's video the randomapmod shows geo icons and soul totem icons and mine just show question marks, and his bingo ui includes the dreamers and stuff and mine does not and also shows up as like white circles on the pause menu instead of the layout in his video. the bingo ui thing might be streaming overlay tho i'm not sure
have you updated yours on from the installer
?
a newer version was put on there recently
there's a beta build of randomapmod in #randomizer pins too
ah, maybe that's it then
stuck on this lol
that's a loading bar
its just been stuck there, but im gonna go afk cause my laptop is pretty trashy
if it crashes and youre using a controller. unplug controller, launch game, then plug it in again once you get to title screen
sorry, i'm not seeing the beta build for randomapmod?
okay i think i found it through search
i don't have access to that
how do you get rid of mods like fully clean your game of them
i somehow mucked it up and made all enemies unhittable
what mods were you using
im just gonna uninstall debug
debug by chance?
you probably set your nail dmg to zero
alr thanks
just use debug to increase your nail dmg
oh it works now thanks
I'm not the one who's having the problem, but a friend of mine and he has this error:
- The ModInstaller folder in AppData folder was deleted
- The latest version is installed
- He has a licensed version of the game and up-to-date
- The file's on desktop
- When opening it up, it doesn't even ask for the HK folder path, it just gives this message and that's all there is
- Before getting the fresh version I gave the version I had (9852)
- Everything in pins didn't help
- Unlike in the videos, for some reason he doesn't have that loading bar with API
- Every time a window popped up where it was said that the software installed incorrectly and you could reinstall it or leave it be, now it doesn't even appear (I don't know after what, he doesn't have a clue as well)
How do i get rid of the mod installer? For some reason when I heal it uses no soul and fills up extremely fast even though i have disabled all mods
Or is there something else I could do to fix it?
You get rid of mods by verifying the integrity of the game on steam. But that won't fix your problem, I'm assuming you had HollowPoint installed at one point
Check the pins
^
sick thanks
Its still not fixed I saved and quit a few times
Is there anything else I can do?
Did you try all 3?
Na i'll do that right now is it ok to keep the file in the mods folder?

Hi can I have help with installing the mod installer for my MacBookPro Catalina
You mean how to download it or are you having problems with downloading it?
I downloaded it but it didn't happen.
Can you elaborate?
I open it and it says "Modinstaller quit unexpectedly"
I had this with my old mac and I was given a special installer for catalina
Did you get this one from the pins? 
I'm not sure, I tried one of the pin ones just now. Do you want me to try the other pins one
The one i replied to, it's specifically for mac. If you got the one from the pin that says "Installer" instead of the one that says "Mac" then you mighta got the wrong one
The Mac installer folder?
You have to move the application out of the zip
Can you send a picture fo the error message?
No problem
i have benchwarp and debug mod and when i browse local files on steam i have the mods but my game is still unmodded (windows btw)
restarting doesn't work
Do you have mod common and modding api?
I believe you need mod common then
can you send a screenshot of the file the mods are in
sry, new computer i forgot how to take a screenshot
all i remember is that it uses the windows key
That looks right to me
i cant find it
ok
the other one had all of the things in the path if that is needed
this problem has been going on for about 2-3 days now, i shouldv'e got help earlier
should i launch it a different way in steam
i did verify the integrity a few times so maybe thats the problem
hmm, did you get mods by mod installer?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
There
that gives me the same file
Are you sure?
when i do that it says to download the api again
it gives me a message like 1 file is missing
and then doesnt verify until i click it again
yea that makes it unmodded
Yes, when you verify it reverts the game to being completely vanilla
it didnt get the eerror message
So you have the mod installer from the pins?
yes
ill get a screenshot
ill check to see my hk version
im not in puplic beta and i have godmaster dlc
can you show the main menu?
that all seems right, sorry this isn't my area of expertise but im trying
ill show you a weird glitch i found with it too
when i open my menu ingame it does nothing which is all the more confusing
its very nice of you to try too help if we cant get it ill try again tommorow
the mods dont show up on the top left
which they are supposed too
the weirdest thing is that it worked fine like 4 days ago
im probably going to try again tommarow are there other people that can help me that know more about this proplem than us
*problem
welp sorry I couldn't help hope you get it sorted out
yeah, you did a good job though
im supprised we made it this far normally i get said no to and have to figure it out myself
i wont change anything, so tommarow someone else can pick up where we left off
how do i randomize items?
Do you have randomizer 3?
no
Then you need that, if you don't know how download the installer from the pins and search for rando 3 in it
oh sorry just found it didint see it in the list
Is there any Performance mod
im playing the game with 25 -35 fps
and hornet already killed me for 2hours
lower resolution
go into window borderless mode and set screen dimensions with launch options
can go as low of a resolution as you want
-popupwindow -screen-height Y -screen-width X
hihi I'm struggling to get customknight working
could someone give me a hand? so far I can get it to display a 2nd option in-game but clicking on it just gives me the default knight appearance again
Can someone help me with the multiplayer mod? I've been trying to figure out how it works but I cant get it to connect.
Me and my friend are trying to get into the same server with Hamachi but when we click on connect is says we connect but we dont see the players. DM me please if you are willing to help
I believe there's tutorial videos you should follow for it, specifically one by fireb0rn
yeah that's the one I'm looking at rn
can yous end a screenshot of your custom knight folder?
If you're using the one from mod installer, I think some more knowledgable people would recommend using HKMP instead
Everytime i try and open hollow knight modloader it says hollowpoint (see readme) is outdated then says unhandled exception no matter what i press what should i do?
@native ice is that what you needed?
sorry haha I've always been bad with this kind of thing
Yea, it seems fine but im not too familiar with custom knight
I'm not great at it either but I've kinda figured some stuff out by just watching others
anyone I could ping for help?
uhhhh maybe? tbh I set this all up ages ago then forgot about it
oh did you make sure the modinstaller is updated and stuff then?
mhm, already got all that worked out
all my mods are working fine but I can't get customknight working
Can you show me inside the Baby Hornet folder
hmmm, the skin I'm trying to download has two versions, the 2nd one has more files and stuff, I think I'll try that and see if it works better
Ah, maybe that's it. If that doesn't work try a different random skin
Can you send a screen shot of the error?
check the pins
screenshot your game title screen
Got it to work after deleting almost all the files and having to redownload the game
@tranquil parrot there was an easier fix i directed you to, also redownloading the game doesnt really do much usually
What's the problem
you don't have modcommon
Damn I knew I shoulda checked that
cool how do I fix that
Go to the installer and download modcommon
i even mentioned it
yeah sorry I skimmed right past it
what is dump log in debug for? how can i reset the cheats i use so that i can play the game normal again?
since clikcing on them wont disable it
Clicking on them should disable them, at least for the infinite health/noclip/invincibility
i cant seem to disable kill all at all?
i tried disabling the mod overall thru modinstaller but it still ends up one shotting enemies (i dont even have the final nail upgrade or the second last)
Well it seems like you turned up your nail damage which is based in the save not in the mod
You can either use debug mod to fix it or if you don't wanna reinstall mods or whatever then you can use a save editor
I have a question related to downpatching. I succesfully downpatched to 1221 and the game works, I can play with keyboard. However I can't use any controller. Even my PS4 controller doesn't work although i was told that 1221 does support ps4 controllers, so there is an issue. Any ideas? I really can't play with keyboard 😄
are you vanilla? I have a vague memory HK has a general problem with controllers
First try plugging your controller in after starting the game.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to map the controller to keyboard inputs
I have some mods installed, and switching back to unmodded does not work...
I try that now. Thanks to both of you
in that case
yeah
oh, @limber egret what flag is that?
ace?
nb?
aro
looks familiar
If you mean ingame, it doesn't work. When i click on "remap controlls" the game does not react to any inputs from my controller. Its as if there was no controller plugged in. Steam registers the controller so its not a controller issue.
No, you will need to use an external program to map the buttons on your controller to keyboard inputs
if i go onto my normal save file with the randomiser mod will anything happen?
yes
So square = F, triangle = G etc, then set those keyboard keys to what you want the button to do
It will break
but why would you wanna open rando with non rando save
how do i disable the mods safely
Open the mod installer and click "enabled"
by using installer
k
dont use the mods menu ingame cuz sometimes the mods implementation of that disable is not 100%
oh, nice!
which mods are most likely to break my save from the randomiser mod
qol
benchwarp?
i left modcommon, vasi and custom knight on
are those ok to leave on?
That sounds about right. If you want to play vanilla for a bit you can just verify the integrity of your game files on Steam, then when you want to play modded reenable the modding API via the mod installer
That's the easiest way to do it, imo. (Beyond just having a separate version of the game that is modded)
ty
Go to your save files path in file explorer and delete all files with global settings in their names. Then it will be fixed

I've not modded the game before, only just got the mod manager to use a custom skin, and for some reason no matter what I do the enemy hp bar mod will not disable, and when I just tried it after restarting the manager still wouldn't disable and showed up like this on the menu screen. anyone know how I can remove the mod? (even after uninstalling it still exists)
@steep depot navigate to the folder where you have installed hollow knight. Then go into managed and then into mods. When there, either remove the dll file or move it to disabled
It looks like you have 2 of them installed?
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 delete one of the enemyhpbar mods
looks good
Except for that enemy hp bar is still installed
or the game registers it, it's not in my mods folder
when I play it still shows up.
i assume the one in non-english text is enemy hpbar
What's the mod written in kanji?
That's the custom skin.
custom skins arent dlls
ummm let me grab the link.....
could you send that dll
saw it being used in a video and wanted to use it, so need a sec to find what video it was xD
It looks like you've downloaded a mod that potentially reskins more than just the knight, or just downloaded the wrong thing. (Or somebody has made a skin without knowing about custom knight existing)
Ah, you've downloaded the wrong thing
oh?
If you just click through the folders you will see a folder with custom Knight.DLL, mod common, and then this mod written in kanji
oooooh
You need to download custom Knight and mod common (preferably from the mod installer, but this one here may or may not work) and then download the folder that is inside the folder labeled "Custom Knight"
So then just drag that folder into the custom knight folder in mods?
Once you have that folder and the appropriate mods (I really do suggest using the mod installer to get them to be safe) you can then put that folder inside your own custom Knight folder
Yes
You've got it
the non-english named mod is enemyhp bar
Why does this link contain all those .assets files?
the skin is in the folder
some skins edit game files too
so like they create custom scenes
so if you dont want it, delete it
Ah
Sorry to interrupt, what is the link for the mod installer? Couldn't find the bot.
If you want the full experience you will need to download literally everything in this drive file and place them appropriately. If you're just after the skin you can just have that.
?i would download it from here
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

Alright thanks 😄
Okay thank you, I would've never thought of that xD (since I don't know how custom knight works)
I think we should just direct people to the pins at this point. The updated installer at the top of them is actually really good.
I'm unsure why they only changed the name of only one mod
but then i won't be able to have fun with the ?is
Np. You can check out Fireborn's Custom Knight Guide on YouTube if you have any more problems
We should just change the command and remove the link to the old one
Imo
Okay, one other thing that I'd like to ask, which I imagine is the case, but changing the folder name in customknight folder will change what the name is presented in game?
yes
Cool
but dont change name of the .png files or else it won't work
You can also change the name of any skin to default to make that the skin that you load in with
?
oh
so like change the folder name to default?
Yeah.
Okay, noted~
You'll have to change the name of the default folder to like "Regular Knight" of course
its in the custom knight folder
you know... I guess I'm just blind today xD

does anybody have a download for the custom trial mod?
i have a problem, my mods are installed on steam when i browse local files and im using the right installer but for some reason they dont show up in the top left and in my settings i have the mods but my ingame file says otherwise
did you insatll modding api?
i still have the mods tab
yes
api is installed
i have modcommon
the mods i am using are benchwarp and debug
i have a lot of junk files of older mods ive used somewhere in my game should i delete those it might be the problem
like readmes and mods in the wrong folder
i need to know if i should delete those
in the past before i knew how to "properly" make the game vanilla i deleted everything in the mods folder
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
Then delete all the files that have global settings in its name
ok ill try that now
thank you so much
i spent an hour yesterday getting help but it didnt work
question bout using mods should i have my main save backed up?
as in can it get courrputed from the mods i use
hey uh, there's no readme for ascii camera, can i have a brief run down on what it does?
Makes graphics from ASCII characters
Not if you don't open those saves with mods on
Good idea to back them up anyways
alr i dont plan to
Just in case
cool, i don't know what that is lol, im just trying to spice up the game and got bored of Hollow Point
i wanna do the gun%
my game doesn't detect mods at all, i have a clean steam installation and am using ModInstaller, current patch, pls help
is the mod installer in pins?
what does that mean?
question to you did you mess with the pathing at all
as in where it trys to download it to
and if not maybe try reinstalling modinstaller
or hollow knight either or
yes, changed it to my game path since i've made a copy of the original steam game folder
well i think its supposed to go to the original
i can see the .dlls in my Managed/Mods
im just spitballing btw i litreally just downloaded it
if thats the case tho
i dunno
i know, me too, then i reinstalled and nothing works now
that sucks
random question btw do i have to have the dlc?
Just screenshot main menu
the grimm dlc
It's all part of the game
there is no mods option, and there is no DebugMod/Benchwarp info in top left, while my ModInstaller says they're installed
Screenshot your installer and title screen
Does your game update every time you open the game after you open the installer?
nope
i can see the mod files in the folder
i have also tried manually copying the modding API and mods
You said you fresh installed the game. Did you get rid of your other install? Did you change the install location
i have not changed the install location, but i have deleted everything before letting steam revalidate the files and download new ones
K. Well there's no telling what state your files are in because you've done a bunch of stuff manually and with the installer and have probably multiple games on your machine
You should delete everything and start the process over
Delete all game files. Reinstall. And use only the installer
i have done that, that is the current state, is there anything else that needs to be done except using the installer and just starting the game? like something in Documents where save games are stored
What have you done until now
install game, copy the folder so i have unmodded and modded game separately, open ModInstaller, assign new path to the copied folder, install mods
nope, instructions pls
Does the Installer point to the second install because by default it won't
ModInstaller points to the second install, yes
hey can i install mods if i got hollow knight using xbox game pass?
its on pc
oh okay
it works! steam_appid file was the only thing i was missing, thank you
Well, HKMP has some capability of viewing skins, but the mod(s) on the installer not
alright, thanks
does anyone know where to find the installation folder if i downloaded using xbox app?
thanks.
For some reason when I heal it uses no soul and fills up extremely fast even though i have disabled all mods. I have verified the integrity of the game and have followed all these steps #archived-modding-help message
Still its not working what else can I do?
@nova matrix which mods did you originally use?
is there a mod installer for mac
i tried downloading the one in the pins and it said it wouldnt allow me to download it
cuz the creator of the mod isnt verified
Ah. Open a terminal and try using wget
@neon marten
I know hollow point is the reason why my soul is acting like this if i get rid of the mod installer will that fix the problem?
wait wdym
If you try to open an app by an unidentified developer and you see a warning dialog, you can override your security settings to open it.
No
Check pins for fix
I tried the pin to fix hollow point but its still bugging
So you did all 3 and it didn't fix?
Ya ill try them out again i guess I could've done it wrong yesterday
i tried that, now it keeps telling me to try and re open it but nothing is happening
And then place the hollow point fix mod into your mods folder
Put on desktop, right click and open package contents. Then open the executable named modinstaller
k
What's wget?
@gloomy coral Im getting this message now can't get into the installer
Which mod did you install?
These are the readmes of the mods
Send a screenshot of the mods folder
Which contains the dlls
How do I find that folder again?
How did you do teh first fix without knowing where mods folder is 
Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on browse
Then open hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods
wget is a linux terminal program to download stuff
Yes
@drawfwoot apparently the something similar to c/temp issue with Vasi happens with mod common
Screenshot the main menu
They got this error before so I assume so
Sponge, where are you running Mod Installer from?
Like, where do you have it saved?
That's also not the Main Menu screen, fwiw
this is also after I get an error message and click continue
☝️
I have it saved to my desktop
I can screenshot the main menu screen as well if that helps but there is no text in the top right
why is the screen all black?
*Left
I'm asking myself the save question
Maybe try relaunching it
it says waiting to update, is there a button that lets me update it?
or will it do it on its own
Why is it updating?
idk lol
☝️@sponge
Sponge:
- Close HK and the Installer.
- Open that ModCommon archive, and Extract
ModCommon.dllto the Mods folder (it it puts it into it's own folder, then take it out of the extra folder) - Delete the Archive file if it's still there.
- Re-launch the Installer, as Administrator
They did
#archived-modding-help message
Oh lol I'm blind
Im still getting the same error message
Download modinstaller 2 ig
What does your Mods folder look like now?
Does the installer still not open?
Nope want me to screen shot the error message?
Yes
Are any of the files in your Disabled folder Archive files?
nope they are all application extensions
Can you go see if you do have that file that it's mentioning
the C:\tempMods\README.md
I'm guessing that Mod Installer makes and deletes that folder normally, because I don't seem to have it at all
But if maybe Mod Installer was interrupted before it deleted it, it could be a problem
I do have the file its in the tempMods folder with hollow_knight_Data
Ye
But that Data folder isn't the one that your mods are in, right?
Nope
Wait I seem to have two data folders one in the tempMods and one in HK
Delete the temp mods one
The HK one is the real one
Just delete the whole tempMods folder
it'll get rid of the stuff inside of it
The games still wasn't working and then I found this folder
could this be the problem?
LOOOOOL aight give me a sec
tried to open modinstaller, wont open, got an error log saying something about given host unknown. what do i do?
Can you screenshot the error
should i send the log data ?
Wdym by log data?
when i try to open modinstaller it just creates an error data
The german text basically means "The specified host is unknown."
im assumine it has something to do w modinstaller suddenly not being able to detect my game but as of how to fix it i dont know
Still didn't work but its only effecting my first save slot
This is mac?
nope windows
Try reloading the save
Like restarting the game?
i tried downloading and running the .bat file from recent pings but that doesnt work either
How long ago did you get the installer
Still didnt work
after disabling the debug mod (the last mod i used?) i closed both the installer and the game to restart without any mods
Is there a mods menu in the options menu
wanted to use debug mod again, this time modinstaller wont open and i get error logs
Try deleting it and downloading it again
Na there isn't
In the installer did you install the ModdingApi
You need to download the modding API
aight where do I download it?
The modinstaller
The ModInstaller should automatically install ModdingAPI if you use the main one
I assume they disabled it
your assumption was correct
As Mul suggested earlier, you might end up having better luck with ModInstaller 2 though. It's weird that it's having so much issues for you
Someone, do you have any idea why Mod Installer would be failing to unzip stuff for people? (The only thing I can think of is if it doesn't have proper permissions)
Because it's happening to a fair number of people for ModCommon as well.
- Having trouble in the middle of unzipping bc of perms for overwriting files 2. Idk..... maybe it’s in the downloads folder?
Yeah, those are the only things I can think of. Just wondering.
for some reason I can't find moddingApi
Look at the buttons at the bottom
If your using Zote Installer, it's the "Enable Mods" button
Wasn’t it changed to enable ModdingApi
hey do you know how to set up item randomizer
After I verified and relaunched I got this error message
Install either Randomizer 2 or 3 and start a new game
Is the game open, did you run the installer as administrator, and are there multiple instances of the installer open
Hi, do you know how I install skins for the custom knight mod?

oh yeah that might work thanks
No, When I run it as administrator it get this message even though I just deleted the files #archived-modding-help message , no
Hmmm
Ya I don't know how I messed up this bad
How do I open the mod tab app
Just try mod installer 2
Mod tab app?
yh like the tab
The mod installer?
Are you on windows
yh
Did you get it from the radiance.host link?
Ok
should I delete the installer I have now?
Double click it
double click what
I guess so. It’s just a .exe file you can redownload
....the file you downloaded
Where do I download mod installer 2?
Pins, windows.zip
Thank you very much for your help
what does the multiplayer client and multiplay server do
@wheat orchid @pliant lantern @gloomy coral The game is working now that you all for your help and patience.
So Modinstaller 2was the solution?
yup thats all i needed
Multiplayer server hosts a server, client lets you interact with people in a server you connect to. See the pins for how to use them
alright thanks
where is the gun mod/what name is under
I swear I saw it before but now cant find it -_-
Hollow point
It’s on the mod installer
tysm
How do so many people learn "gun mod" without learning the name?
What is the source of this?
But like, what video is not saying the name of it?
is there a way to get a custom skins
thx
Literally every video I'm seeing when I search, says the name of the mod.

gun mod
are you inquiring about it's name?, i think it is called hollow point
I'm aware of the name.
I'm curious as to why so many people don't know the name, when any way I search "hollow point gun mod" on youtube or google, instantly shows the real name in the title

i downloaded some mods and when i diabled and uninstalled theyre still showing up
anyone know why?
The Disable All Mods button doesn't always get "created" correctly for people
You can go back to vanilla be using steam's Verify Integrity
its not that i disabled tthem manually and unistalled but i still see the death counter, i still have some other mods on
Screenshot the pause menu
Ok
Uninstalling the mod installer doesn't do anything.
You are still using ModdingApi fwiw, but that doesn't mean anything if you don't have mods running
@novel bronze
ctrl z them and show me which ones you deleted
Then I'm not sure
np
You restarted the game right?
yes
Hm, maybe try verifying the integrity of the game and reinstalling mods?
Nice!
thanks for the help
My game seems to be ignoring mods, I have the api installed as well as the mods
You used the installer?
yes
Can you show me a screenshot of your mod folder and main menu?
it ignores every mod though
Yep
or would that one thing break them all
This sounds like the issue described in that pin
This pin?
This
now do i close it and run it again or..?
Please read the whole post
oh my bad
alright im back
I'm going to assume it didn't work then. 😅
I think they just had to get up, not that they tried it yet
yeah
well both
i tried it before i left
the modding api global settings didnt reappear in the folder after i relaunched though
are they supposed to?
Don't delete the modding api settings delete the benchwarp settings
o h
