Can you screenshot your mod installer itself?
Okay close the game.
Click revert to unmodded (ignore the pop-up just click okay)
Close the mod installer
Open steam, right click your hollow knight game and click properties.
Find "verify integrity of game files".
It should say "1 file failed to verify and will be acquired" or something. Press okay when it does.
Open the mod installer again
At the bottom the button you pressed before should now say "Enable installed mods". Click it.
Open your game and see if it is working.
when you say ignore the popup do you mean this one?
does anyone happen to know how to quickly recolor the cloak thing the knight is wearing
customknight
yeh i got that installed, but im workin on a skin for it
ah ok
wondering how to recolor the cloak thing
i use paint.net for things like that but ms paint works too if you wanna take a while
Don't think there's a way to just recolor all of it's animations at once, I assume you'd just have to make a custom knight skin and idk like fill bucket or draw in the colors you want
somethings definitely wrong, it said all files were good
im usin paint.net, manually bucketing is takin forever but color changing/hue shifting doesn't really end well
I slightly expected that, TBH
Just carry on with the rest of the steps
it still says revert back to unmodded
It's literally the only way I can think of this happening at this point
yes
Okay, you're opening your non-modded game
I deleted the other one
I moved all my games to C: and left that one on D:
thats why
i copied instead of cut
Right click your hollow knight install on Steam and click properties -> local files
yup, i tried to open it on steam and it said the one in the d drive was missing
What drive is the mod installer on?
So you had things on D:// previously, moved everything to C://, and then downloaded the Mod Installer, which is also on C://?
In your game files (where you had your mods folder before) go up a few folders until you hit a Hollow Knight. Exe
Screenshot that folder for me
My mods folder is still there
That's a good sign
Is this on your C or D drive?
Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems like you needa tell steam where your file is
Probably
Right click your hollow knight install on Steam and click properties -> local files, and find the path
steam is still looking in the d drive
So on steam does it tell you to install?
I would redownload the game from Steam
It says play but if i hit play it says it cant find the game
oh yeah its installing now
ill drag the application into my C drive
then delete the one in D again
no that wont do it
why not?
you needa tell steam which one to launch gimme a sec
yeah i know that
but at least now ill be able to launch the game with that directory
Is steam still on your D:// drive?
No steam is on C i believe
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129 I think this is what you needa do
Article "Moving a Steam Installation and Games"
It seems like you have some settings on Steam that need changing to install into your C:// drive instead of D://
Also my HK folders are very messed up
there should be much more than this
I think
this also cant be a good sign
That's in c?
Yes
So what I assume is happening, and i very well could be wrong, is that that isn't a full install of the game. What I think you should do, is follow the steps in this guide and transfer your steam stuff to C https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129
Article "Moving a Steam Installation and Games"
I may have accidentally fixed it
By doing what i initially tried to do
I restored the files in D
Deleted them in C
and actually cut and pasted this time
Unless i do this incredibly inefficiently
Move them to install the mods, then back to launch the game
very very efficient
Or you could just tell the mod installer your new file path
ill do that
i figured out the mass recolor
I need help with the mod installer it isn't working, I get loading text endlessly going on all four save files when I click play

sometimes when i use customknight all the geo dissapears, i can still pick it up but i can't see it
Copy Geo.png from the default skin folder into the skin folders with that problem
that worked thanks
how do I do multiplayerrrr
me too
we wanna playtogetherrrr
nvm
If it ends up happening more in the future, then try changing skins in small rooms (like stag stations)
ok
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 follow 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 hollow point work with Multiplayer?
heya did the mods list change or something
i think it does sizzle
might have tried it idk
im not a proffesional
So actually, we got really far but it broke and Idk what happened
You can use pretty much any mods with multiplayer, but they will only affect you.
What does Broke mean? Regardless, both players restarting usually fixes it. If you're using the mod installer one, then that's very common. It'll usually stop working if either Player has an internet hiccup
In the white palace room that has the hidden exit to PoP. Except you break the right way instead
After entering the area[?] you need to go talk to Hornet before you can continue
i cant seem to use mod installer pls help ;-;

screenshot the error it give
i cant update my hollow knight
also not sure what this means
my steam is breakin not much i can do about it

where can I find some skins or is there a way to make them without editing every single knight?
there is a mod called custom knight, and in the pinned tabs, there are many skins.
Hello, is there anyone can help me? After installing the mod installer of the game, I wanted to use it back to the original state, but it turned out that I could quickly focus soul without installing Quick Focus. I have been using it for a long time and I can't get back to normal. I have installed some skins and gun mode mods. I'm not sure if they have been removed. I have used the built-in detection of steam. I also tried to download the game again. But then I found that the most weird thing is that only the archive that has played the mod is faulty, the other three do not have this bug. Can anyone help me, or can this be solved by reporting the problem to the official?
Please help me,thank you very much.
It's a common bug with hollowpoint
Does benchwarping always clear your soul vessel?
yes
download modding api by opening the modinstaller and do the first fix here #archived-modding-help message
this makes it sound like you need to do all 3
oh oops
thank you for very much, I will try
Thank you for your help very much, I fixed it successfully!!!!!😆

Did you check the pinned messages as instructed?
yh it didnt work
What is "it" that didn't work?
Because there a pin specifically about the things that cause saves to get wonky
Is or isn't?
so randomizer doesnt change already made saves, right?
it does
It breaks them, it doesn't mod them properly
anyone know a fix?

has anybody else had this issue?
ds4 controller works on mac without randomiser 3 (and all it's deps )
but refuses to work otherwise ?
seems like it's an issue with newer modAPI then, cuz i installed the dll i'd compiled (overwriting the one installed by mod installer i guess) and it works again

Try doing the fix in the first pin but replace Vasi with custom knight
@gloomy coral thanx but i don't no why ,i don't have this file
Hey uhhh
i know this is gonna seem dumb but the Installer is fine , right?
Like i ytbd a video for a tutorial on how to get skins for the Knight , i clicked the link for the installer
And youtube immediatly told me the site may contain malware
ok ,it's in french
try to navigate to C:\tmp\Hkmodinstaller
Where did you get the game?
on steam
It should be safe, but if you wanna be extra carefull:
?i
yeet custom knight
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Unless your downloading stuff from like a random online website like Nexus (which you shouldn't). Everything from this discord is safe
oh wait i just realised
same person
i delete it ,it change nothing
maybe i have download the wrong version of the mod installer
Where did you download it from?
ok...
still extremely scared to run a .exe after that
the first one i got from a fireb0rn video
not like i dont trust the guy but ya know...
oh i
sorry
thanks
Okay so for both of you; download from in the pins. Fireborn's video might be trustworthy, but also might be out of date anyway, and the most recent version of the installer will always be near the top of the pinned messages
Use the one in there that is appropriate for your OS and you should be good
ok thanx
maybe try using modinstaller 2 from the pins
fwiw fires videos links the radiance.host link so its up to date
aight i got i think
thanks yall !
That's mod installer 1, though
We should be encouraging people to use the one that is better
true
is there any way i could get my randomizer settings and seed into a steamlabs bot command automatically?
if you can get it to read a file then maybe
I wonder if you could call it from the Rando tracker
i see that test of teamwork is out now(i think), where can i find that?
?pins contain the modinstaller where you can download it from
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
The rando tracker reads the seed and settings from player data dump, so you could either use the same method, or even just grab it from the Rando tracker online, which might even be easier
oh it's on the modinstaller thank you
I just removed the modded ifles, I wanted to ask if all the files were there?
i installed some skins but how do i make them show here ?
i checked the pins
i dont know what u mean...
the guide on how to use the mod
I installed the enemy hp bar mod and they arent showing, anyone know why?
and yes i hit the enemy
So is there a way for me to replace grimmchild with carefree melody
it seems when i use debug mod to do it it's bugged
where carefree melody seems to be combined with grimmchild
and cost only 2 notches
isnt it meant to only cost 2
the wiki says 3, i checked this server and someone also said it was 3
Carefree costs 3, grimmchild costs 2
carefree seems to cost 2 in all of fireborn's vids
yeah my carefree is three as well
i got it vanilla
its 3 on my main save and 2 on my modded
Probably a qol change or something
probably because used debug mod to change grimmchild to carefree
which doesn't update charm cost
So do you have carefree and it just costs 2 notches or is the charm stuck as grimmchild?
I replaced grimmchild with carefree using debug
it displays as carefree, and acts as both carefree and grimmchild
Do you mean it spawns grimmchild or just costs 2 notches?
Did you try setting it to grimmchild 4, unequipping it, changing it to carefree, and putting it back on?
i know how to fix it
change to grimmchild 3 and visit the distant village or whatever its called
talk to the guy that makes it carefree
i just changed to kingsoul and went to the egg and i have my normal void heart now
is brumm there when you do that
yea
did that and it didn't work
yup, i finally climbed out of the abyss again and my void heart is free
so you just have to get it the vanilla way
alternative:
change kingsoul to voidheart with either debug mod or save editing, then save edit its charm cost to 0
takes longer but it would work
ye i did exactly as he said
still nothing shows up :/
how can i delete mod related files
Isn’t verifying integrity easier?
thats reverting to vanilla
it's already done, but there are still files linked to this mod ,for example
but does the presence of these files have an impact on my game?
no
change to grimmchild 2 then see grimm then see brumm
can someone help me install some mods
?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 already but it cant find the install path because i have hk downloaded some where else
also you can no longer warp to kings pass with benchwarp?
if it is not prompting you to select your install path, follow these steps #archived-modding-help message
it is but it keeps saying invaild path
it needs to be the folder with the .exe
ok thanks
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\CustomKnight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight is this the right folder to put the skins on ?

its in the pins
yes i watched it and did as he said
its still not here
i watched the whole video
3 times
you started hk once after installing it tho right?
ye my problem is im in the game
it shows the mod is installed correctly
but the skins dont show up
any screenshot
of file paths
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\CustomKnight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight
i made sure the folders have the images inside them
.DS_Store?
this was here since i opened the folder for the first time
dont know what it is
Screenshot your pause screen in full
and i assume that inside the skin folders are the skin images not another folder right
yes
holdup
oh, file directory
should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
not Hollow Knight\CustomKnight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
Yeah, custom Knight is in there twice that's odd
i'm blind
the video says its inside the CustomKnight folder but aight
ill try
https://files.catbox.moe/emct2g.png follow my directory
yeah , same thing
hey @jaunty wolf i think this might be my bad.
yeah fuck this dandy guy 
this is the right directory structure
i'll update CK release asap to avoid this for more people!
aight so apparently we divised after " Hollow Knight" , mine went to CustomKnight instead and have those exact same folders
now i found going back there is a hollowknightData outside that folder with the again exact same directory
yeah i was wondering cause of the .ds_store file and i'm like wtf lmfao
we blamed the consumer but it was the modder all along
quick question, i dont know if its something my mods did or whatnot, but my nail itself won't deal damage, but other things like grubberfly's elegy and spells of course, still deal damage, i'm not sure why it is doing this, but if theres an answer it'd be nice to get.
debug mod you changed your nail dmg
that'd make sense, i never even understood how the mod was considering the space it took from my screen, but i don't remember ever messing with that, i'll try reinstalling and resetting it back, thank you!
well now, i dont think installer even wants to cooperate.
i auto updated custom knight, and its broken for me too :(
so its not just me then
seems like a borked update
the directory structure thing should not break existing installs of the mod, could you share what's broken for you ?
wait whom are you talking to me or dovar
lemme grab a screenshot
i think Dovar had a CK update related issue was yours the same ?
I think just go delete the whole hollow knight folder in temp mods
im not sure, i tried updating it and it popped up that msg
this is the charms page if i try using a skin
I installed the mods I wanted, at first it worked, but my computer crashed and I can't use mods anymore. what should I do.
Wdym you can't use mods anymore? Like they aren't effecting anything or the installer doesn't work or something else?
it does not affect my games even if the modinstaler shows that the mods are instaler
What mods do you have?
i'd not even touched the charms code lol
multiplayer client and multyplayer server
Do you have benchwarp?
Is there a mods menu in the options menu, and is there text at the top left of the pause menu and main menu
i'm gonna have to check the older releases
no
I just tried to instal it but it don't work
on the game
can you screen shot your options menu
of my game?
no
are you on steam?
yes
in steam library, right click hollow knight, go to properties, go to local files, and hit browse
and what do I do next
got to hollow_knight_data > managed > mods and take a screenshot
I dont have the mods part
have you ran the installer
yes
okay open it again, at the bottom of it click the button that lets you change file path
open my instaler?
yea
and then
screenshot it
Still haven’t found a way to replace grimmchild with carefree melody
okay, on that page navigate to your local drive I think its the one with 'E:' in it, then look for one called Program files/program files (x86), then look for steam, then steamapps, then common, then hollow knight, then hit ok
@weak torrent try refighting grimm in any way you can, NKG, and then you should get it back, i had that occurrence before
Wdym
like godhome or something
I’m trying to replace grimmchild with carefree melody
lol
ur gonna say im crazy for this but i think you just need to do what i said and rematch NKG, it swaps between the two, it might just be from a mod, but thats what i've done so far and its given me both, or just ask a actual professional who knows that xD
I did it
thats just from my pov
for some reason my modlog just has this much text & none of my mods show up either 😐 is this something that we know a fix for ?

do I have to uninstall the mod I already had
uninstall and reinstall
it didn't work
no
the mod installer doesn't recognize hollow knight's file path as the correct file path. what am I supposed to do?
Hey this is my first time using Mod Installer and wanted to use Custom knight but I'm getting an error about how the file already exists. Though after doing some reading turns out there are other issues going on.
maybe it only works on the steam version and not the microsoft store thingy
Hi! So I was wondering if different countries can affect how multiplayer works?
I managed to successfully have my friend join my server
But my other friend who lives in Canada can't seem to join
Modinstaller2 is saying that I have mods installed and they are in the files but they aren't affecting gameplay.
On mac if that's important.
As far as I’m aware the only problem that might arise is connection issues
Huh. So that means he should be able to join us
It could be a technical problem
Are mod names showing up in the top left corner of your main menu and is there a mod section in options?
Do you have benchwarp?
Yes
Okay so currently the problem is that the connect button keeps flashing back and forth every time we try to join him
The same with him trying to join us
I believe the way to fix that is in the pins, specifically the one about saves saying loading or being blank, at the bottom there's a note about "Benchwarp fix"
Sorry I'm not familiar with the multiplayer mod
Damn.
Are you sure you followed all the steps? And is hamachi working?
i had this happen to me too, to fix it i had to manually delete the Mods folder and recreate it and copy the dlls from a backup directory
if you see any files in your Mods or CustomKnight directory that are charm pngs then deleting those should fix this issue
Hi totally new at modding here on a mac and for some reason the modinstaller from the pinned messages just quits right when i open it is there another place I can find the zip?
I think some more experienced people in this channel usually recommend using a different multiplayer mod called "Hollow Knight Multiplayer"
Does it give you any error, and did you download it from the pinned message labelled "Mac"?
is there any way to do bosses together in hall of gods using the mutiplayer mod
yes i downloaded the mac file but it just says that modinstaller quit unexpectedly
can you send a screenshot of the error?
here is the page that pops up
Maybe try modinstaller2 I'm not sure but it might be better
Oh! Can you link me?
weird, after deleting the charms from the directories ck should stop trying to apply the charm sprites
https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP Here ya go
if i set it to default the charms display properly
but if i use ANY of my custom skins, thats when they break
Thank you so much!
Hopefully that fixes the problem
I'll have to check and report back
do your custom skins have the charms pngs ?
yea
my problem is that the mod isnt properly reading the custom charms
and they were working before i updated
yeah, i'm going to have to look into it further, from what i can tell the released version and the code on github was a bit different
does anyone have that hk sound ocllection? i know it existed but its not in pins and i don't know where else it would be
this may not be the right channel but idk where else i'd ask
nvm; sounds resource has them
when i load the game up non of my mods show up
i have the same problem, i can access the mods tab in game but nothings there
same problem as those two ^^^^
There's no options in the mod tab?
i can send a sceenshot
And can you guys elaborate, what exactly do you see? What OS are you on? Where did you get the game from? What mods do you have installed?
well my mods were working until i reinstalled the mod manager
This just happened to me as well
Was working untill like an hour ago I tried to install custom knights
^
i had custom knights which was working but i tried to install sanic
^
i just have customknights, mac os 11, steam version, i see the mods tab and can click on it but its just empty
Do you have modcommon?
yep!
same
Windows 10,Steam Version, ._CustomKnight, Debug Mod, ModCommon and I had benchwarp installed previously. All these were working untill ~2 hours ago when I tried to setup CustomKnights since then No mods are working I don't see the text in the top left of my main menu saying version and api version. Attempting to Revert Back to Unmodded says "Unable to locate vanilla Hollow Knight please verify game files"
Thanks
I have deleted hollowknight and attempt to reinstall the modinstaller but I still don't get a version / api version on main menu at all
If you wanna try reverting to unmodded, use steams verify game integrity option, maybe reinstalling will work
I just wanted to try and reinstall the modinstaller from a "Fresh" gamefile state. none of these attempts have worked
Uninstalling and reinstalling Hollow Knight won't do much, verifying the integrity will make sure you get rid of all mod related stuff
i just reinstalled it and it diddnt work
If you don't know how to verify, go to steam library > right click hollow knight > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
Then try reinstalling mod installer
I have tried this as well. Same result I will try again quickly to verify.
I know benchwarp sometimes causes something like this but not sure if that's the cause
The fix is in this pin, read the part at the bottom ^
i just tried verifying and reinstalling and still the same issue
I had this problem yesterday then again today and i fixed it
i verified, no game files matching that name, should i try the same modinstaller or?
howd you fix it
one sec
okay
okay
I run the newest hollow knight from steam and my mods worked till I installed a update for custom knight.
me neither
yikes
It seems everyone here is having the problem because of custom knight
perhaps
i had custom knight as well
recently
I’m kinda away from my pc right now so most I can do is hope we get a fix
lemme try uninstalling custom knight
WTF
LOL
i uninstalled custom knight and now the only mod that appears is custom knight
mmmm yes makes sense
wh
LMFAO
solid
perfect sense
speaking of customknight, does anyone have the google drive with all the skins? i cant find it
I'm gonna install custom knight and see if it gives me the problem
i might be blind too
It should be near the bottom of pins, or might be in #modding-discussion pins
Thx
yw
i was just being blind
i cant find the Fyremoth v2.0 skin
the google drive is being problematic ofc, why would anything be easy
facts this is a pain
Okay it seems like it's a custom knight problem
oh great
ah ok
I'm gonna see if I can find a fix, if not I guess just wait for an update or something
rip
perhaps do what i did here but with the customknight files
make sure you get the .bak and the .json
Where can I find the customknight files
How would I for example completely remove all traces of modinstaller
Ayyy it's working now
yo does anyone know how the sanic mod works
Did you check the readme?
i think its an api for other mods to use
im probably wrong though
i thought it make game go fast
install debug, spam the hell out of the + key
Okay, I believe this is what I did
Nuked C:\Users\Maple\AppData\Local\ModInstaller (Deleted this file entirely)
Nuked C:\Users\Maple\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry
(deleted entirely)
Verified game files
Reran the modinstaller
For whatever reason it still says Customknights is installed but it was disabled
@last depot give this a try?
that will delete all your save data
my mods r working fine now
O sick'
noice
My gamefiles are fine probably because stream has them in hte cloud
yea just use debug mod for that
okay
idk how sanic works either
oh yeah i just remembered why i came here in the first place
I'd imagine it'd be in the settings in main menu
i have the enemy hp bars mod and the enemies are lacking hp bars
anyone know how to fix it?
i cant use the blackmoth mod ;-;
What do you mean?
the black moth mod isn't working and now i cant use any mod a think
it doesn't show the other mods i have
It's just not taking effect?
idk
Do you have benchwarp?
i guess
or did you ig
no do i need it?
yeah
ah
do this
Custom knight seems to be breaking things atm
just got rid of it
but back up your saves first
wont help to just get rid of custom knight
how to i backup my saves

having quite the big oof when it come to toggleable bindings mod. Still going through a bunch of the FAQ stuff before I start asking you guys
everything else is working just fine
it's JUST toggleable bindings
Just tell us and we'll direct you to a pin if it's in there
which is, incidentally, the only mod I actually care or want
just fails to load
everything else, hp, debug, benchwarp, all totally fine
Can you send a picture of your mods folder?
hang on
send me a picture of your hollow knight folder
and no that wont work
like the mod folder?
I'm not sure, that happened to me and randomly sorted itself out. Maybe just uninstall toggleable and reinstall?
The one two folders up from the mod folder, with hollow_knight_data in it
what?
how do i take a pic of it
if you're on windows, win+shift+S
or fn + PrtScr
yeah
go to steam library > right click hollow knight > properties > local files > browse
then what
send me a screenshot of the file that opened
(I'll let you sort out zerkese first)
okay
lol
ima try that ^
it probably wont work
The specific problem that file is causing make it so none of your mods work at all
but by the sound of it your problem is just that one specific mod says "FAILED TO LOAD" in the top left corner, am i right?
along with "check modlog.txt"
yep
That happened to me a while ago
not sure exactly what caused it but it kinda just vanished eventually
mighta been from reinstalling and uninstalling mods and stuff, mighta been something else i did
maybe try verifying the integrity of the game and reinstalling all the mods you want
verifying integrity?
This ^ but instead of browse hit verify integrity of game files
it works thanks
nice
sorry can someone quote the proper macos mod installer, i cant find it ;((
It makes it so you basically do a sharp shadow dash every time
i think
It should be this @jade mural
ty!
Also did you fix the problem you we're having?
can someone link the windows mod installer please
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
thanks Dyno
not yet im starting fresh to see
I figured out how to fix it
how?
still failed to load
Well assuming you uninstalled every thing already, get back to a state where you have all the mods you want installed
Then go to the Hollow Knight folder, the one with Hollow_knight_data in it
ummm
click it maybe?
says installed now weird
do this
and send a screenshot
me or stinky?
stinky
I'm really not sure, lemme check somethin real quick
back out a bit
not the mods folder
but the one that's called Hollow Knight that leads to the mod folder
so bot right?
I think so? I'm not familiar with macs UI
ok!
oh yea
can you get a better image of the bottom one? It looks like there's no files where there should be
thats a brand new install i think its fine just dif for mac
oh wait
run the game once then
then take a picture
cause it should have these files in it
yea but now take a picture of that folder again
still the same
wait what?
something seems off then
cause there should definitely be more folders in there
hm
where is your mods folder??
open contents of the hollow knight game, then here
ok!
Oh I figured out your problem
how do?
It seems you're missing a dependency mod, specifically Vasi. You can download it from the modinstaller
we'll try using vasi and toggleable bindings and nothing else or does vasi have a dependancy?
?
I don't need modcommon or anything right?
I have tried doing this with vasi by the way, so my hopes aren't skyrocketing
Oh?
somewhere we fixed it, I think it was the verification. Because I've definitely tried getting toggleable up while I had vasi enabled
hm i think i mightve found my problem is there a way to change the modinstaller path?
ohh okay I think i understand what I'm seeing now, not sure if i can fix it yet but I definitely understand how the interface works
ok cool! ty
Yes there should be on the modinstaller, not sure if it will help tho. I'm pretty sure the problem came from the recent custom knight update
What do you think is causing it?
well for some reason even after deleting the modinstaller and reinstalling and then installing the mods, they dont show up anywhere
yea but im pretty sure that happened on my windows pc until i figured out the fix
how?
Well there was a random file that wasn't supposed to be there labelled _MACOSX in the hollow knight folder, and it contained a separate copy of the hollow_knight_data so i just deleted that whole file and things started working
verifying didnt catch that?
But since you're on mac and things are slightly different I can't find that file and I'm not sure if that's what's causing it
Apparently not
hm ok ill see
right now im a bit confused
this is the path to the mod folder
specifically the resources/data part
cause yours is in data
mine just skips the resources part ye
so im not sure if that means resources OR data, or the dat afolder inside the resources folder
oh okay
that has like 500 "level x" files and assets
doesnt look like mods but idk
oh actually wait
the levels are normal
but im thinking something is wrong here
damn if only I had a mac
It would be so nice to compare your files to an unmodded version
ok from resources i can get to data to managed to mods and all the mod files are there
I need assistance
damn
OH!
ill see if i can fix it but for now ty!
That could be it
that seems why
try deleting the mods folder in Data but not in the resources/data one
What's your problem
I have multiple mods intalled but they dont show up/ work
Did you install custom knight recently? and in the options menu do you have an option labelled "Mods" that is empty?
I did install custom knight cause it said it had an update
Also are you on windows?
Yes
And you have the game on steam?
Yes
Yep delete that and it should work again
Do we have to reach a certain point in the game for Daughter of Hollownest to work because after installing the mod itself and modcommon, it does not work in the game
I might be wrong but I think it only works in godhome
ah
You can try godseeker but I think I heard some modded bosses only work in a casual godhome and not a godseeker godhome
Did you get it working?
no, even with the mods in both folders in both places, one with the folder and not the other, still not working
i think my mod files might be messed up from the installer im not sure
ill experiment some more
Anyone else ever seen this before...? I have no clue whats causing this
and yes im aware my build sucks :(
We're you the one that asked about that earlier or was that someone else?
as most things are
lol
so i have to pick between custom knight and my charms looking normal?
Yea probably
fun
wait hang on I might have an idea
Wait when was there a customknight update?
Apparently today, like 6 people came in with the same problem that seemed to be rooted in that update
I mean there was an update recently but not one that touched sprites I thought
Oh dear
Or maybe not today
yea i see one from dovar
But I finally figured out what was causing it and it's a simple fix, unless you're on mac but that's probably because I have no experience with the UI of mac so I can't do much
sorry
Oh okay
River was dandy told of the charm bug
so, what skin are you using btw?
they're the one who did the update
even though I dont remember anything they did with charms
now im even more confused, when i take off my skin the charms menu is still broken
more so, even
also apparently cyclone slash is a charm now
Wait what other mods do you have?
this might be the work of some other mod
like art mods or somehting idk
never used them
Uh not that I'm, aware, I'm not too familiar with the people here I just kinda show up and help sometimes. Also, the main issue with the update is that there's a rogue file that manifests when you install custom knight that makes it so none of your mods function and it's basically a vanilla game except that the mods page still shows up in the options menu
all I know is that if someone comes in with broken text then they should "disable art mods"
It'd be nice if we could check with the other person who had the charm problem to see what mods they had
Oh I checked, they're aware of it, and also seem confused about it happening after their update
Interesting
Theoretically we could compare the mods we have in common but i have very common mods so i doubt that would be fruitful
I'm not sure how long it's been going on but I can remember a couple of people having the problem
hey does anyone know why i get this prompt when i try and remove the mods from hollow knight and if so how to fix it?
they all seem very vanilla mods
like, can't see how they'd suddenly mess it up bad
Not sure why that happens, but the easiest way to revert to vanilla is to verify the integrity of the game files if you're on steam
what happens if ou just disable customknight?
ill try that
i dont know how to verify the integrity of the game tho
if i disable it my modinstaller crashes
You mean for SomeClever's charm problem or for the rogue file thing
nevermind
Don't disable uninstall
Oh wait I must've missed this rogue file thing
What's it do?
I know there's a fix for that but i can't remember what it is
Go to steam library, right click hk, click properties, click local files, click verify integrity
i just did it but now its still showing up
The mods?
Oh I see your problem
Use the instructions in the pins to reset your installer
It generates a weird file in the steamapps/common/Hollow Knight folder called "_MACOSX" that makes it so all the mods you have installed stop working, the only sign you have mods installed is that in the options menu the "Mods" tab is still there but it's empty
okay
thanks
Np
"mac os x"? what kind of a file is that and what generates it
fixed it completely
Haven’t seen that before, you sure it’s that and not globalsettings that’s the problrm?
It's really weird and I spent a good part of today helping people with the problem to no avail, until I downloaded Custom Knight myself and figured it out
It contains a copy of hollow_knight_data in it, and it generates when you install custom knight
Iirc there’s been a update to CustomKnight recently I’ll look at it
oh no, uninstalling broke my animations completely
it is still doing it even after following the directions
did you make sure you selected the right path?
yes i did
Go to steam, right click hk, click properties, click local files, but this time click browse and screenshot file explorer
oh uh okay then
It doesn't
For randomiser
Get rid of press g to dab and try again
there
?
I hit enable enemy rando then thought "hey wait the only reason im here is to see if charms are normal" so i hit play while it was loading
That's the folder you referred to river?
then i hit hazards way too fast and it broke my animations
im pretty sure
That folder labelled "_MACOSX" is probably what's causing the issue that lead to you trying to revert mods to vanilla
Yea their original question was about the "Revert to unmodded" button in mod installer not working
ah okay
i have no clue
howdy im having a problem getting the game to recognize that there are mods installed at all
I’m looking in the file the installer downloads
apparently it gets downloaded with customknight r something idk
river knows more
Can you navigate to your Hollow Knight steam folder? In it there should be a folder called "_MACOSX" that if you delete will fix your problems. If that's not it then let us know
Are you on mac or windows?
Weird CustomKnight update
That's what we're investigating rn
Broke stuff
cool thank you!
ohh i was uninstalling it because it wasnt working thats probably the reason
now it works just fine because i deleted it
Yep
thanks
I have been deleting the mac file but it still won't work
There's been like 10 people with the same problem, think we can get a pin up with a solution?
For some reason it’s only this file that adds that folder???
will custom knight still work without it?
Ay im tryna get into modding and I think ive done everything right, but the mods just arent taking effect? Any idea with whats happening?
Yes
Did you install CustomKnight
Ye
@leaden flume ^
Lemme try that
I did what you said river and it worked for like 20 min and then i loaded randomizer 3 and none of the mods worked
Screenshot the main menu
ok
Yeah still didnt work for some reason
Was the _MACOSX file there?
Try going to your save files path and deleting all files with global settings in their names
Yea it was a folder
?saves

Yeah, it was a folder wich i deleted
It just says modding api top left
Try doing this^
yeah im having that problem too
@plain spire ^
Someone needs to fix CustomKnight and quickly
Should we @ the mod staff and get them to put a pin up?
yup still having the problem of no mods being reckognized
WAIT
??
Not yet
