k, relaunching

#

after reinstalling modding api lol

#

still nope

limber egret
#

Can you screenshot your mod installer itself?

rancid crane
#

taking a while to launch

#

there we go

limber egret
#

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.

rancid crane
#

when you say ignore the popup do you mean this one?

molten shadow
#

does anyone happen to know how to quickly recolor the cloak thing the knight is wearing

rancid crane
#

customknight

molten shadow
#

yeh i got that installed, but im workin on a skin for it

rancid crane
#

ah ok

molten shadow
#

wondering how to recolor the cloak thing

rancid crane
#

i use paint.net for things like that but ms paint works too if you wanna take a while

native ice
#

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

rancid crane
molten shadow
limber egret
#

Just carry on with the rest of the steps

rancid crane
#

it still says revert back to unmodded

limber egret
#

Hmm.

#

Is there any chance you have two versions of hollow knight on your computer?

rancid crane
#

nope

#

wait

limber egret
#

It's literally the only way I can think of this happening at this point

rancid crane
#

yes

limber egret
#

Okay, you're opening your non-modded game

rancid crane
#

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

limber egret
#

Right click your hollow knight install on Steam and click properties -> local files

rancid crane
#

yup, i tried to open it on steam and it said the one in the d drive was missing

limber egret
#

What drive is the mod installer on?

rancid crane
#

C

#

How do i select the C: hk as the one steam lets me launch

limber egret
#

So you had things on D:// previously, moved everything to C://, and then downloaded the Mod Installer, which is also on C://?

rancid crane
#

Yes

#

but instead of moving HK i just copied it

#

and it was on both

limber egret
#

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

rancid crane
#

My mods folder is still there

limber egret
#

That's a good sign

rancid crane
#

wait

#

the hollow knight application is gone

#

what

limber egret
#

Is this on your C or D drive?

rancid crane
#

C

#

D drive one is gone

native ice
#

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems like you needa tell steam where your file is

rancid crane
#

Probably

limber egret
#

Right click your hollow knight install on Steam and click properties -> local files, and find the path

rancid crane
#

steam is still looking in the d drive

limber egret
#

But it opens, right?

#

You had a screen up before

rancid crane
#

The application doesnt exist

#

theres nothing to open

rancid crane
#

which is now gone

native ice
#

So on steam does it tell you to install?

limber egret
#

I would redownload the game from Steam

rancid crane
#

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

native ice
#

no that wont do it

rancid crane
#

why not?

native ice
#

you needa tell steam which one to launch gimme a sec

rancid crane
#

yeah i know that

#

but at least now ill be able to launch the game with that directory

limber egret
#

Is steam still on your D:// drive?

rancid crane
#

No steam is on C i believe

native ice
limber egret
#

It seems like you have some settings on Steam that need changing to install into your C:// drive instead of D://

rancid crane
#

Also my HK folders are very messed up

#

there should be much more than this

#

I think

#

this also cant be a good sign

native ice
#

That's in c?

rancid crane
#

Yes

native ice
rancid crane
#

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

native ice
#

Well yea that’ll work

#

I don’t think that’ll work if you plan on launching via steam

rancid crane
#

Unless i do this incredibly inefficiently

#

Move them to install the mods, then back to launch the game

#

very very efficient

native ice
#

Or you could just tell the mod installer your new file path

rancid crane
#

ill do that

molten shadow
#

i figured out the mass recolor

Check the Multiplayer Procedure message in the pins pinknight 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.

You can use pretty much any mods with multiplayer, but they will only affect you.

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.

native ice

It's a common bug with hollowpoint

tiny haven
#

yh it didnt work

pliant lantern
#

What is "it" that didn't work?

#

Because there a pin specifically about the things that cause saves to get wonky

gloomy coral

Is or isn't?

so randomizer doesnt change already made saves, right?

From the Installer

jaunty wolf
#

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

oh wait i just realised

maybe i have download the wrong version of the mod installer

limber egret
#

Where did you download it from?

jaunty wolf
#

ok...
still extremely scared to run a .exe after that

jaunty wolf
#

oh i
sorry

limber egret
#

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

strong path
#

ok thanx

We should be encouraging people to use the one that is better

gloomy coral
#

true

faint hare
#

is there any way i could get my randomizer settings and seed into a steamlabs bot command automatically?

gloomy coral
#

if you can get it to read a file then maybe

limber egret
#

I wonder if you could call it from the Rando tracker

lavish pivot
#

i see that test of teamwork is out now(i think), where can i find that?

gloomy coral
dense shuttleBOT
limber egret
#

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

lavish pivot
#

oh it's on the modinstaller thank you

strong path
#

I just removed the modded ifles, I wanted to ask if all the files were there?

jaunty wolf
#

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

rancid crane
#

isnt it meant to only cost 2

weak torrent
#

the wiki says 3, i checked this server and someone also said it was 3

native ice
#

Carefree costs 3, grimmchild costs 2

rancid crane
#

oh

#

i mean my void heart costs 5 so id like to know the answer as well

weak torrent
#

carefree seems to cost 2 in all of fireborn's vids

rancid crane
#

yeah my carefree is three as well

#

i got it vanilla

#

its 3 on my main save and 2 on my modded

native ice
#

Probably a qol change or something

vernal rain
#

probably because used debug mod to change grimmchild to carefree

#

which doesn't update charm cost

native ice
rancid crane
#

also found this on accident lol

#

trying to fix my void heart

weak torrent
#

I replaced grimmchild with carefree using debug

#

it displays as carefree, and acts as both carefree and grimmchild

native ice
#

Do you mean it spawns grimmchild or just costs 2 notches?

weak torrent
#

both

#

as well as functioning as carefree

native ice
#

Did you try setting it to grimmchild 4, unequipping it, changing it to carefree, and putting it back on?

rancid crane
#

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

weak torrent
#

is brumm there when you do that

rancid crane
#

yea

rancid crane
#

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

vernal rain
#

alternative:
change kingsoul to voidheart with either debug mod or save editing, then save edit its charm cost to 0

rancid crane
#

takes longer but it would work

jaunty wolf
strong path
#

how can i delete mod related files

west bane
#

and then just delete hte mods folder

native ice
#

Isn’t verifying integrity easier?

west bane
#

thats reverting to vanilla

native ice
#

oh

#

Figured that's what they we're looking to do

strong path
#

it's already done, but there are still files linked to this mod ,for example

west bane
#

some people like to yeet everytyhing

#

thats cause that's in the wrong folder

weak torrent
#

didnt work, brumm is not there

#

since grimmchild automatically has 3 flames

strong path
west bane
#

no

rancid crane
weak torrent
#

grimm is not there

#

it needs to be the folder with the .exe

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 ?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\CustomKnight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight

jaunty wolf
jaunty wolf

Screenshot your pause screen in full

and i assume that inside the skin folders are the skin images not another folder right

jaunty wolf
west bane
#

oh, file directory

jaunty wolf
west bane
#

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

limber egret
#

Yeah, custom Knight is in there twice that's odd

west bane
#

i'm blind

jaunty wolf
#

ill try

west bane
jaunty wolf
#

yeah , same thing

brazen pasture
#

hey @jaunty wolf i think this might be my bad.

west bane
#

yeah fuck this dandy guy hollowgun

brazen pasture
#

i'll update CK release asap to avoid this for more people!

jaunty wolf
#

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

west bane
#

yeah i was wondering cause of the .ds_store file and i'm like wtf lmfao

jaunty wolf
#

yeah we good now

#

thanks yall !

west bane
#

we blamed the consumer but it was the modder all along

craggy venture
#

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.

west bane
#

debug mod you changed your nail dmg

craggy venture
#

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.

lusty quest
#

i auto updated custom knight, and its broken for me too :(

craggy venture
#

so its not just me then

lusty quest
#

seems like a borked update

brazen pasture

the directory structure thing should not break existing installs of the mod, could you share what's broken for you ?

craggy venture
#

wait whom are you talking to me or dovar

merry spoke
#

yes

native ice
#

in steam library, right click hollow knight, go to properties, go to local files, and hit browse

#

and what do I do next

native ice
#

got to hollow_knight_data > managed > mods and take a screenshot

merry spoke
#

I dont have the mods part

native ice
#

have you ran the installer

merry spoke
#

yes

native ice
#

okay open it again, at the bottom of it click the button that lets you change file path

merry spoke
#

open my instaler?

native ice
#

yea

merry spoke
#

and then

native ice
#

screenshot it

weak torrent
#

Still haven’t found a way to replace grimmchild with carefree melody

merry spoke
native ice
# merry spoke

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

craggy venture
#

@weak torrent try refighting grimm in any way you can, NKG, and then you should get it back, i had that occurrence before

weak torrent
#

Wdym

craggy venture

like godhome or something

#

I’m trying to replace grimmchild with carefree melody

craggy venture
#

OH

i read it the other way around

weak torrent

lol

craggy venture
#

im assuming you have it maxed out? or is it stage 2

#

or whatever

weak torrent
#

Yeah it’s maxed

#

Stage 4

craggy venture
#

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

craggy venture
#

thats just from my pov

Oh lol

Hi! So I was wondering if different countries can affect how multiplayer works?

There is a mod selection in options though.

Do you have benchwarp?

abstract venture
#

Yes

gentle star
#

The same with him trying to join us

native ice
# abstract venture Yes

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"

brazen pasture
lusty quest
#

oh wait

#

i think i misunderstood

#

kinda

lusty quest
#

if i set it to default the charms display properly

#

but if i use ANY of my custom skins, thats when they break

gentle star
native ice
gentle star
#

I'll have to check and report back

brazen pasture
lusty quest
#

yea

#

my problem is that the mod isnt properly reading the custom charms

#

and they were working before i updated

brazen pasture
#

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

jade pier
#

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

cold prawn
#

when i load the game up non of my mods show up

jade mural
last depot
#

same problem as those two ^^^^

native ice
#

There's no options in the mod tab?

last depot
#

i can send a sceenshot

jade mural

native ice
#

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?

last depot
#

well my mods were working until i reinstalled the mod manager

mossy bison
#

This just happened to me as well

#

Was working untill like an hour ago I tried to install custom knights

jade mural
#

^

mossy bison
#

Now I cant get it to work on a fresh install etc.

#

Even tried a seperate PC

last depot
#

i had custom knights which was working but i tried to install sanic

jade mural
#

i just have customknights, mac os 11, steam version, i see the mods tab and can click on it but its just empty

jade mural
#

yep!

last depot
#

same

jade mural
mossy bison
#

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"

native ice
#

Thanks

mossy bison
#

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

native ice
mossy bison
#

I just wanted to try and reinstall the modinstaller from a "Fresh" gamefile state. none of these attempts have worked

native ice
last depot
#

i just reinstalled it and it diddnt work

native ice
#

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

mossy bison
#

I have tried this as well. Same result I will try again quickly to verify.

native ice
#

The fix is in this pin, read the part at the bottom ^

last depot
#

i just tried verifying and reinstalling and still the same issue

rancid crane
#

I had this problem yesterday then again today and i fixed it

jade mural
last depot
#

rancid crane
#

jade mural
last depot

rancid crane
#

perhaps

last depot
#

oh wait actually

#

custom knight did update for me

rancid crane
#

i had custom knight as well

last depot
#

recently

cold prawn
#

I’m kinda away from my pc right now so most I can do is hope we get a fix

last depot
#

lemme try uninstalling custom knight

#

WTF

#

LOL

#

i uninstalled custom knight and now the only mod that appears is custom knight

rancid crane
#

mmmm yes makes sense

native ice
#

wh

last depot
#

LMFAO

jade mural
#

solid

hexed jungle
#

perfect sense

rancid crane
#

speaking of customknight, does anyone have the google drive with all the skins? i cant find it

native ice
#

I'm gonna install custom knight and see if it gives me the problem

rancid crane
#

i might be blind too

native ice
last depot
rancid crane
#

Thx

last depot
#

yw

rancid crane
#

i was just being blind

lavish delta
#

i cant find the Fyremoth v2.0 skin

hexed jungle
#

find it through the video its showcased

#

its not in the drives

rancid crane
#

the google drive is being problematic ofc, why would anything be easy

last depot
#

facts this is a pain

native ice
#

Okay it seems like it's a custom knight problem

last depot
#

oh great

jade mural
#

ah ok

last depot
#

@lavish delta the firemoth 2.0 drive is literally just dead

native ice
#

I'm gonna see if I can find a fix, if not I guess just wait for an update or something

lavish delta
#

rip

rancid crane
#

make sure you get the .bak and the .json

mossy bison
#

Where can I find the customknight files

#

How would I for example completely remove all traces of modinstaller

#

Ayyy it's working now

rancid crane
#

Pog

#

what fixed it?

mossy bison
#

Ill type it out

#

one momment

last depot
#

yo does anyone know how the sanic mod works

native ice
#

Did you check the readme?

last depot
#

it jus says "timescale changer"

#

in the readme

rancid crane
#

im probably wrong though

last depot
#

i thought it make game go fast

rancid crane
mossy bison
#

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?

native ice
#

wait

#

before you try that

#

back up your saves

mossy bison
#

^^^

#

Probably smart 😛

native ice
#

that will delete all your save data

last depot
#

my mods r working fine now

mossy bison
#

O sick'

rancid crane
#

noice

last depot
#

just tryna figure out sanic

#

i wanna do nkg in like 1.5 speed

mossy bison
#

My gamefiles are fine probably because stream has them in hte cloud

rancid crane
#

yea just use debug mod for that

last depot
#

okay

rancid crane
#

idk how sanic works either

#

oh yeah i just remembered why i came here in the first place

native ice
#

I'd imagine it'd be in the settings in main menu

rancid crane
#

i have the enemy hp bars mod and the enemies are lacking hp bars

#

anyone know how to fix it?

last depot
#

debug just

#

this is crazy

lavish delta
#

i cant use the blackmoth mod ;-;

native ice
lavish delta
#

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

native ice
#

It's just not taking effect?

lavish delta
#

idk

rancid crane
#

Do you have benchwarp?

lavish delta
#

i guess

rancid crane
#

or did you ig

lavish delta
#

no do i need it?

rancid crane
#

So thats not the issue

#

Custom knight?

lavish delta
#

yeah

rancid crane
#

native ice

Custom knight seems to be breaking things atm

lavish delta

go here

#

and move the userx.dat files into a new folder or somethin

tulip patio
#

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

native ice
#

Just tell us and we'll direct you to a pin if it's in there

tulip patio
#

which is, incidentally, the only mod I actually care or want

#

just fails to load

#

everything else, hp, debug, benchwarp, all totally fine

native ice
#

Can you send a picture of your mods folder?

tulip patio
#

yep

lavish delta
#

what if i just like delete all the mods in my mods folder

#

will that work?

native ice
#

send me a picture of your hollow knight folder

#

and no that wont work

lavish delta
#

like the mod folder?

native ice
# tulip patio yep

I'm not sure, that happened to me and randomly sorted itself out. Maybe just uninstall toggleable and reinstall?

native ice
lavish delta
#

there is only one big folder tho

#

with everything in it

native ice
#

what?

lavish delta
#

how do i take a pic of it

native ice
#

if you're on windows, win+shift+S

tulip patio
#

or fn + PrtScr

lavish delta
native ice
#

That's not the right folder

#

You have the game on steam?

lavish delta
#

yeah

native ice
#

go to steam library > right click hollow knight > properties > local files > browse

lavish delta
#

then what

native ice
#

send me a screenshot of the file that opened

tulip patio
#

(I'll let you sort out zerkese first)

lavish delta
native ice
#

okay

native ice
#

and it should fix it if im not mistaken

lavish delta
#

ok

#

thats all?

native ice
#

yep

#

just figured that out

lavish delta
#

lol

tulip patio
#

ima try that ^

native ice
#

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?

tulip patio
#

along with "check modlog.txt"

native ice
#

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

tulip patio
#

verifying integrity?

native ice
tulip patio
#

thank you

#

un momento

lavish delta
#

it works thanks

native ice
#

nice

tulip patio
#

woo woo ^^

#

what is blackmoth anyway? (still verifying about 70%)

jade mural
#

sorry can someone quote the proper macos mod installer, i cant find it ;((

native ice
#

It makes it so you basically do a sharp shadow dash every time

#

i think

#

It should be this @jade mural

jade mural
#

ty!

native ice
#

Also did you fix the problem you we're having?

steel willow
#

can someone link the windows mod installer please

native ice
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
steel willow
#

thanks Dyno

jade mural
native ice
jade mural
#

how?

tulip patio
#

still failed to load

native ice
#

Well assuming you uninstalled every thing already, get back to a state where you have all the mods you want installed

jade mural
#

do i need to do something to fix the out of date?

native ice
#

Then go to the Hollow Knight folder, the one with Hollow_knight_data in it

#

ummm

#

click it maybe?

jade mural
#

says installed now weird

native ice
#

well anyways

native ice
#

and send a screenshot

tulip patio
#

me or stinky?

native ice
#

stinky

native ice
jade mural
#

which one sorry?

native ice
#

back out a bit

#

not the mods folder

#

but the one that's called Hollow Knight that leads to the mod folder

jade mural
#

so bot right?

native ice
#

I think so? I'm not familiar with macs UI

jade mural
#

ok!

native ice
#

oh yea

#

can you get a better image of the bottom one? It looks like there's no files where there should be

jade mural
native ice
#

uhhh

#

It seems like somethings missing here

jade mural
#

thats a brand new install i think its fine just dif for mac

native ice
#

oh wait

#

run the game once then

#

then take a picture

#

cause it should have these files in it

jade mural
#

i can play the game fine

native ice
#

yea but now take a picture of that folder again

jade mural
#

still the same

native ice
#

wait what?

#

something seems off then

#

cause there should definitely be more folders in there

jade mural
#

hm

native ice
#

where is your mods folder??

jade mural
#

open contents of the hollow knight game, then here

native ice
#

Okay wow that's very different then

#

gimme a minute

jade mural
#

ok!

native ice
tulip patio
#

how do?

native ice
#

It seems you're missing a dependency mod, specifically Vasi. You can download it from the modinstaller

tulip patio
#

we'll try using vasi and toggleable bindings and nothing else or does vasi have a dependancy?

native ice
#

?

tulip patio
#

I don't need modcommon or anything right?

native ice
#

Should probably have modcommon to be safe

#

but just install vasi and it should work

tulip patio
#

I have tried doing this with vasi by the way, so my hopes aren't skyrocketing

native ice
#

Oh?

tulip patio
#

OH

#

OHHHH

#

We got it

#

thank you

native ice
#

nice

#

no problem

tulip patio
#

somewhere we fixed it, I think it was the verification. Because I've definitely tried getting toggleable up while I had vasi enabled

jade mural
#

hm i think i mightve found my problem is there a way to change the modinstaller path?

native ice
native ice
#

What do you think is causing it?

jade mural
#

well for some reason even after deleting the modinstaller and reinstalling and then installing the mods, they dont show up anywhere

native ice
#

yea but im pretty sure that happened on my windows pc until i figured out the fix

jade mural
#

how?

native ice
#

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

jade mural
#

verifying didnt catch that?

native ice
#

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

jade mural
#

hm ok ill see

native ice
#

right now im a bit confused

#

this is the path to the mod folder

#

specifically the resources/data part

#

cause yours is in data

jade mural
#

mine just skips the resources part ye

native ice
#

so im not sure if that means resources OR data, or the dat afolder inside the resources folder

#

oh okay

jade mural
#

there is another data in resources

#

(this is resources folder)

native ice
#

and the mods don't go there?

#

Cause that could be the problem

jade mural
#

that has like 500 "level x" files and assets

#

doesnt look like mods but idk

#

oh actually wait

native ice
#

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

jade mural
#

ok from resources i can get to data to managed to mods and all the mod files are there

wooden igloo
#

I need assistance

jade mural
#

damn

jade mural
#

ill see if i can fix it but for now ty!

native ice
#

That could be it

jade mural
#

that seems why

native ice
#

try deleting the mods folder in Data but not in the resources/data one

native ice
wooden igloo
#

I have multiple mods intalled but they dont show up/ work

native ice
#

Did you install custom knight recently? and in the options menu do you have an option labelled "Mods" that is empty?

wooden igloo
#

I did install custom knight cause it said it had an update

native ice
#

Also are you on windows?

wooden igloo
#

Yes

native ice
#

And you have the game on steam?

wooden igloo
#

yes

#

I see a mac file in my files should I delete that?

native ice
#

Yes that's exactly the problem

#

it's called _MACOSX right?

wooden igloo
#

Yes

native ice
#

Yep delete that and it should work again

wooden igloo
#

Thank you

#

I will contact if this happens again

final fern
#

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

native ice
final fern
#

ah

native ice
#

You can try godseeker but I think I heard some modded bosses only work in a casual godhome and not a godseeker godhome

native ice
jade mural
#

i think my mod files might be messed up from the installer im not sure

#

ill experiment some more

rancid crane
#

Anyone else ever seen this before...? I have no clue whats causing this

#

and yes im aware my build sucks :(

native ice
#

We're you the one that asked about that earlier or was that someone else?

rancid crane
#

this specific problem was someone else

#

but i was here earlier

native ice
#

I'm thinking

#

It might've been messed up because of the custom knight update

rancid crane
#

as most things are

#

lol

#

so i have to pick between custom knight and my charms looking normal?

native ice
#

Yea probably

rancid crane
#

fun

native ice
#

wait hang on I might have an idea

ivory aurora
#

Wait when was there a customknight update?

native ice
#

Apparently today, like 6 people came in with the same problem that seemed to be rooted in that update

ivory aurora
#

I mean there was an update recently but not one that touched sprites I thought

native ice
#

Or maybe not today

rancid crane
#

yea i see one from dovar

native ice
#

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

rancid crane
#

yea im on windows

#

what is it?

native ice
#

im talking about the mods not loading properly

#

What?

plain spire
#

sorry

native ice
#

Oh okay

ivory aurora
#

River was dandy told of the charm bug

native ice
ivory aurora
#

they're the one who did the update

#

even though I dont remember anything they did with charms

rancid crane
#

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

ivory aurora
#

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

native ice
# ivory aurora River was dandy told of the charm bug

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

ivory aurora
#

all I know is that if someone comes in with broken text then they should "disable art mods"

rancid crane
#

those are all my installed mods

native ice
#

It'd be nice if we could check with the other person who had the charm problem to see what mods they had

ivory aurora
rancid crane
native ice
#

I'm not sure how long it's been going on but I can remember a couple of people having the problem

violet thicket
#

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?

ivory aurora
#

like, can't see how they'd suddenly mess it up bad

native ice
ivory aurora
#

what happens if ou just disable customknight?

rancid crane
#

ill try that

violet thicket
rancid crane
#

if i disable it my modinstaller crashes

native ice
native ice
rancid crane
#

ah kk

#

let me put my skins in another folder rq

ivory aurora
#

What's it do?

native ice
#

I know there's a fix for that but i can't remember what it is

wheat orchid
violet thicket
wheat orchid
#

The mods?

#

Oh I see your problem

#

Use the instructions in the pins to reset your installer

native ice
# ivory aurora What's it do?

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

violet thicket
#

thanks

wheat orchid
#

Np

ivory aurora
rancid crane
wheat orchid
native ice
#

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

native ice
wheat orchid
#

Iirc there’s been a update to CustomKnight recently I’ll look at it

rancid crane
#

oh no, uninstalling broke my animations completely

wheat orchid
#

?

#

Explain in more detail

violet thicket
#

it is still doing it even after following the directions

rancid crane
ivory aurora
violet thicket
wheat orchid
native ice
ivory aurora
#

I think

native ice
#

It doesn't

ivory aurora
#

For randomiser

wheat orchid
rancid crane
#

no it was my fault

#

i was being dumb

violet thicket
native ice
rancid crane
#

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

ivory aurora
rancid crane
#

then i hit hazards way too fast and it broke my animations

native ice
#

Yea

#

It's probably why cell is trying to uninstall mods

violet thicket
ivory aurora
#

wait cell is trying to uninstall?

#

you can just delete the mod files

native ice
# violet thicket there

That folder labelled "_MACOSX" is probably what's causing the issue that lead to you trying to revert mods to vanilla

native ice
violet thicket
#

ah okay

wheat orchid
#

Why is that folder there

#

It serves no purpose

violet thicket
#

i have no clue

wild grotto
#

howdy im having a problem getting the game to recognize that there are mods installed at all

wheat orchid
#

I’m looking in the file the installer downloads

ivory aurora
#

river knows more

native ice
wild grotto
#

oh lol why is that there

#

found it and removed it

wheat orchid
#

Weird CustomKnight update

native ice
wheat orchid
#

Broke stuff

wild grotto
#

cool thank you!

violet thicket
#

ohh i was uninstalling it because it wasnt working thats probably the reason

#

now it works just fine because i deleted it

violet thicket
#

thanks

wooden igloo
#

I have been deleting the mac file but it still won't work

native ice
#

There's been like 10 people with the same problem, think we can get a pin up with a solution?

wheat orchid
#

For some reason it’s only this file that adds that folder???

violet thicket
#

will custom knight still work without it?

leaden flume
#

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?

wheat orchid
leaden flume
#

Ye

leaden flume
#

Lemme try that

wooden igloo
#

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

wheat orchid
#

Screenshot the main menu

wooden igloo
#

ok

leaden flume
native ice
wheat orchid
#

Try going to your save files path and deleting all files with global settings in their names
