[wicked whale]

my friend have just connect mod

but cant join me

[west bane]

then someone's hamachi or firewall is bad

[wicked whale]

and we cant do anything?

[harsh idol]

why are my mods not showing up when i open hk?

[native ice]

If you go to the options menu is there a mods tab?

[harsh idol]

nope

[native ice]

okay, did you install benchwarp?

[harsh idol]

nope

why?

[native ice]

Cause those indicate two simple to fix problems

And the mod names don't show up in the top left?

[harsh idol]

nope

and just to be clear

[native ice]

You have the game on steam?

[versed marsh]

hey where can i find the link to the mod loader?

[harsh idol]

this isn't my first time using the mod manager

[native ice]

[versed marsh]

thankyou

[harsh idol]

and this has never happened to me

[native ice]

Can you navigate to your mods folder and screenshot it?

[harsh idol]

ye

[native ice]

Can you go up like 2 or 3 folders to the one called Hollow Knight

[harsh idol]

ye

[native ice]

okay seems fine, just had to check somethin

So

Try going to your saves file and deleting everything that has "globalsettings" in it

[harsh idol]

will that do anything to my saves?

[native ice]

no it shouldn't as long as you don't touch the userx.dat files

it might reset any keybindings you have for mods tho

[harsh idol]

wait why are there 2 hollowknightdata files?

[native ice]

sorry what?

where's the second one?

[harsh idol]

inside of the first one

[native ice]

wh

that's uhh

interesting

[harsh idol]

this is inside of the hollowknightdata folder

[native ice]

is there another managed/mods in there?

[harsh idol]

yes

which one do i delete

[native ice]

um

the one inside the other

that one in the screenshot shouldn't be there

[harsh idol]

ok

[native ice]

see if that fixes it

if not delete the globalsettings files

[harsh idol]

it didn't

where do i find the saves again?

[native ice]

ummmm

the fuck

it isn't there

there are crash logs and that's it

[native ice]

Wait what?

[harsh idol]

wait nvm

[native ice]

oh

[harsh idol]

it fixed its self

im just not gonna question it

[native ice]

uhh that's interesting lol

okay well have fun

[stone spindle]

hello its me...

still strugling

[native ice]

You couldn't quit to menu right?

[stone spindle]

yes

i even tried to delete the older files

[harsh idol]

you said everything with globalsettings right?

[native ice]

yea

[stone spindle]

restart the game completly and hit my head on a wall

[native ice]

Hmmm

[harsh idol]

that did jack shit

[native ice]

I found someone with the same problem, and a fix.

[harsh idol]

my mods still don't exist

[native ice]

Hmmm, maybe try just verifying the integrity of the game and reinstalling mods? I'm not too sure

[thin tinsel]

My game will not let me reply "yes" to any dialogue boxes. Does anyone know why

I'm not sure if it's relating to mods. I turned off all mods but I cant seem to turn off modding api

[native ice]

Was it working earlier?

[thin tinsel]

I think so, but I haven't played hk on my computer much so I might be wrong

[native ice]

Then my first guess would be it's because of your controller/keyboard/mouse

[thin tinsel]

Yeah I thought so. I changed "attack" to different keys but nothing changed

[native ice]

I think someone said you have to press up to select dialogue on keyboard

[thin tinsel]

well to get into the dialouge yes

but ill try it

[native ice]

i meant prompts not dialogue

[thin tinsel]

so just press up on the option?

because that isnt doing anything

[native ice]

then i guess not

Server language is english

[sullen pond]

a ok

[native ice]

To disable moddingapi you can verify the integrity of the game files, if you're on steam

[thin tinsel]

ok how do I do that

[native ice]

Go to steam library, right click on hollow knight, click properties, click local files, select verify integrity of game files

[thin tinsel]

its stuck on 0%

well ill figure it out later, thanks for the help

[stone spindle]

where are the .dat files held? since i think im doing this wrong

[native ice]

They .dat files are your saves, so it means you might lose all your progress

They're called userx.dat

[stone spindle]

there are none called that

[native ice]

The x should be a number

[stone spindle]

yeah still a no

[native ice]

Screenshot?

[stone spindle]

wait never mind

sorry it was there

didnt work.. weird, that person had the exact same problem

[native ice]

I assume

Steam backed up your saves while they broke

So maybe turn off steam cloud sync and do it

Since they mentioned steam backed up thheir saves in the post

[stone spindle]

yeah pry right

since the save get this issue very early on

wait the i just realized something the problem starts by the time i get to dirtmouth and it must be perstant between saves

since it restarts each time

so it is essentially just messing up the files over and over again or something...

maybe

YES I GOT IT TO WORK

[native ice]

Nice

[stone spindle]

thank you for the help

[native ice]

No problem

[thin tinsel]

hey for multiplayer mod, me and my friend connected, but we can't see each other. I have no idea why

[lapis laurel]

try to go to another room

[thin tinsel]

trying it

[harsh idol]

thank you, this worked perfectly!

[thin tinsel]

didnt work

[native ice]

nice!

[native ice]

Maybe try just restarting a couple of times, go over and make sure you did everything right, and if that doesn't work, I know some of the more experienced people here tend to recommend using "Hollow Knight Multiplayer", a separate mod, instead of the one that's on the Mod Installer. https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP

[manic path]

how to uninstall and reinstall the ModInstaller since i'm getting crashes each time it tries to launch

[native ice]

Is it giving you an error message when it crashes?

[manic path]

when it tries to launch actually

[native ice]

Can you screenshot the error and send it here?

[manic path]

this thingie

i is the confused

[native ice]

Okay, there's a simple fix for this

[manic path]

?

and cool

[native ice]

It's in the pinned messages, here ^

[manic path]

how do i find ModInstaller again in the appdata?

[native ice]

You're on windows?

[manic path]

yep

[native ice]

I usually just type "%appdata%" into the windows search bar

and then go back one file

[manic path]

grazi

[nova tree]

the modinstaller for mac has a virus??

[native ice]

What?

If you download it from here it should be safe

[novel bronze]

i have mac and its safe dont worry

works well

[hybrid topaz]

Umm after a while of not playing hollow knight i launched the game and it seems I have leftovers on my save file of some mods I used to change hollow knights values (infinite jump also damage increase) after verifying the game files and reverting back to vanilla the stuff is still there, did I mess up on not doing my backup save file or is there a way to revert it to the original holllow knight values via the mods

[native ice]

Those details are saved in the game file, debug mod doesn't revert them when you uninstall. Luckily there's 2 simple fixes, you can either reinstall debug mod and change them, or you can use the online save editor to change the values, if you don't wanna reinstall then uninstall mods

[hybrid topaz]

ok thanks I'll try fixing them with debug mod

[native ice]

Mmk, incase you need it here's the nail values.

[hybrid topaz]

thanks a lot

[native ice]

No problem

[hybrid topaz]

is there any way to know if my save file is now 100% back to vanilla out of all the values, i dont know if I accidentally moved something I shouldnt

[native ice]

Hmm, not sure. If you remove mods most effects wont stay, and the other things are fairly easily testable, like just make sure you can get hit and heal properly.

[hybrid topaz]

so far its all good nail dmg is set to 21 as I have pure nail

But while pressing minus there was this thing called timescale

[native ice]

hmmm, are you moving faster than normal?

[hybrid topaz]

I dont think so

It is supposed to be set to 1 right?

[native ice]

Not sure, 1 is usually the default value things so probably

[hybrid topaz]

one last thing

do the values vary from save files

oh nvm just checked and it does

[swift solstice]

Hi guys a question how can I install mods if my launcher says that my hollow knight version I have is old?

[vernal rain]

unless you update, no

though updating should be very easy

[river flint]

hi

I wanna ask something

I used to play with mods but then i deleted the modinstaller and the mods were still in the game files and i deleted by hand now there is no modding API what should i do

I downloaded the modinstaller again

[swift solstice]

Thanks @vernal rain

[vernal rain]

just running it should install the modding api again

[river flint]

it didnt

[vernal rain]

then i can't help anymore, but good luck further

[river flint]

what happens when i download it now

like you send me the file

and i pıt it in the folder

put

Its important isnt it

[pliant lantern]

Mod installer installs the ModdingAPI. If it doesn't, then you've done something else wrong to your install

[native ice]

It could still be installed and he could be having a different problem, like the mods not showing up in the top left.

[river flint]

i looked at the folder

i redownloaded it

it didnt

[pliant lantern]

ModdingAPI doesn't noticeably go in a folder

[river flint]

there isnt a modding api downloadede thingy

[pliant lantern]

👆 this is probably more likely the case

[river flint]

normaly it shows up if you download it

ok

ima lounch it and try

[pliant lantern]

This is ModdingAPI

This is not-modding api

[river flint]

I have it

[pliant lantern]

So.. not really a noticeable difference lol

[river flint]

but not in mods folder

[pliant lantern]

Hopefully not, because it doesn't go in the mods folder

[river flint]

does it have to be in mods folder

k

yours is in mods folder?

[pliant lantern]

no

[river flint]

k

[pliant lantern]

ModInstaller automatically puts it in the correct place

[river flint]

ok

[river flint]

it says loading

to my saves

is that even possible

and it says menu styla

none

but i have zote

and there is no achievement

[sharp widget]

Can I have some help

I know that you are supposed to use a sort of mod loader

I just wanna know if there is a linux version and if so where ch distros does it support

?

[neon marten]

Check the pins

?pins

[limber egret]

There is a Linux one but I couldn't tell you which version it supports

[sharp widget]

Can you give me the GitHub page pls

???

[limber egret]

@glass meteor Might need you to help out a little here? I have no idea about Linux.

They should respond when they get the chance.

[sharp widget]

But I just want the GitHub page now

Is it not on GitHub?

GitHub isn't a linux thing

[limber egret]

It isn't in the pins, and 56 made the mod Installer, so I assume they will have the link to it if it is

[sharp widget]

I'll check pins but thanks

[limber egret]

You could just do a search on this channel for GitHub but... Obviously that might take some time to trawl through

[sharp widget]

Thanks

[limber egret]

The mod installer itself just downloads stuff, it doesn't actually affect any files, so you should be able to just try it and see what happens

[sharp widget]

Oh so I just get a mirror

And put the files in a certain directory

[limber egret]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it even downloads the same files as the other installer.

The different installers I think are mainly to make sure they put the files in the right place.

[sharp widget]

Ok what folder dobi need to put the files in then

I'll have a look at what I have

In my pc

i have found folders:

Managed

Mono

Plugins

Resources

any of this useful

<@&283547423706447872>

???

oops

[vagrant stratus]

what

[sharp widget]

im pretty sure i have to ping modding staff right

sorry

<@&328354344313421825>

[haughty quiver]

I'm not staff, but what do you need help in?

[sharp widget]

At first i was asking if there was a linux version of the modloader

TamiJo told me he doesnt know but you don't need it anyway

[haughty quiver]

There is I think, isn't it in pins?

Oh loader

Doesn't modinstaller do that by itself?

[sharp widget]

what

[novel bronze]

Ok, so whats your problem?

[sharp widget]

At first i was asking if there was a linux version of the modloader

TamiJo told me he doesnt know but you don't need it anyway

[novel bronze]

Yeah I got rhat

[haughty quiver]

[sharp widget]

now JeCommander is helping me

[novel bronze]

You havent even asked a question?

What do you need help with

[sharp widget]

Is there a linux installation of the modloader

?

and which distros does it support

[haughty quiver]

Do you need a modloader to install mods? Doesn't modinstaller handle it by itself?

[sharp widget]

i think i meant mod installer in the first place sorry

[haughty quiver]

Yep there is

[haughty quiver]

This

[novel bronze]

Ok, in the pins there's a Linux.zip, In there is modinstaller 2, is that needed? No idea, but you might want to try that

[sharp widget]

k ill try it thanks

what do i do with it now

[haughty quiver]

Run it

I mean unzip, then run

[sharp widget]

ye i have but it doesnt do anything

it gives an error

command not found

i also tried to open the .pdb file also doesn't work

[haughty quiver]

Could you send a screenshot of the error

[sharp widget]

sure

[haughty quiver]

What file did you run?

[sharp widget]

the one with no extension

[haughty quiver]

Uhh

[sharp widget]

that is the one you are supposed to run im sure

[haughty quiver]

I haven't used the linux version of modinstaller, so I don't know what the error means, and it isn't talked about in pins either

[haughty quiver]

Hmm

[sharp widget]

it opens a database

[haughty quiver]

Is it the one with the zote icon?

[sharp widget]

the .pdb one

what

ill have to open it in a gui

[novel bronze]

Isnt the zote one modinstaller? Not modinstaller 2

[sharp widget]

none of them are zote for me

[haughty quiver]

Mine is zote, so maybe I have the older version lemme check

[sharp widget]

also when i unzipped i got Mod installer 2 and Modinstaller2.pdb

[haughty quiver]

You're supposed the run the first one right?

[sharp widget]

ye

actually it might be chmod acting weird let me see

[haughty quiver]

And the error came up?

[sharp widget]

ye it doesnt have execute privelages

let me do that

[haughty quiver]

Ok

[sharp widget]

i have another problem

[haughty quiver]

What happened?

[sharp widget]

when i open it it needs me to select my hollow knight installation which is normal but

it doesnt give me an option to choose hidden files and folders

[haughty quiver]

Well maybe you have to unhide the installation folders for now?

[sharp widget]

ill try

[river flint]

I deleted that

but now game is german

or somethingf

something

and i cant change it

ok i got it

[wraith tusk]

okay, i have started on my journey of hollow knight mods, but when i try to lad randomiser three something breaks. i don't think i have the seanprcore mod? but i'm not sure where to find that one, it's not on the installer and i cannot find it in the drive. does it maybe go by a different name nowadays, or am i simply missing something?

[neon marten]

Use serecore instead

[wraith tusk]

hmm, i have serecore enabled

is there any other mod that could make the whole thing break?

[neon marten]

Idk

[wraith tusk]

i am playing on a laptop, but is a pretty new one, so that shouldn't affect the game? thank you anyway tho

[fair briar]

randomizer 3 requires:

QoL, Vasi, Serecore, Benchwarp

make sure you have those

also make sure you have modcommon

i dont remember if you needed that one

[dense wren]

hi, for some reason my custom knight mod isnt working. when i choose the new skin inside the game nothing happens. can someone help me?

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot main menu and where you put the skins

[haughty quiver]

Where is the readme located?

Modlog says couldn't find Assembly-CSharp.dll

[wheat orchid]

Can you send your modlog file here?

[haughty quiver]

Sure

This one or the one in appdata?

[wheat orchid]

Well I’m pretty sure that is also located in appdata, also that isn’t the modlog

It’s a modinstaller error log

[haughty quiver]

Nop this was along with the install files

[wheat orchid]

Your modlog is located in your save files path

This is the modlog now, after I logged into a save, so I don't know if it's been ovewritten

[wheat orchid]

Did you disable the discord rpc mod?

It’s overwritten when starting the game

[haughty quiver]

Ok then I'll enable it and send again

Btw should I use the old 'zote' modinstaller or modinstaller 2?

[wheat orchid]

It’s not really old, both receive updates

[haughty quiver]

Oh

[wheat orchid]

I prefer the original since it has more features

[haughty quiver]

Ok good to know

Got it

[wheat orchid]

Did you read the readme for discord rpc?

[haughty quiver]

It said no readme found

[wheat orchid]

Iirc it has some extra stuff you need to do

Huh

Look in the pins for a list of readmes

[haughty quiver]

And there wasn't one among the other readmes

[wheat orchid]

Hmmm

[haughty quiver]

Ok

[haughty quiver]

I meant among my files

[wheat orchid]

Ok

Well if there’s no readme, can you screenshot your mods folder? It’s located at game files path/Managed

[haughty quiver]

Oh ok I need the sdk

Do I need both x86 and x86_64 if I know my pc is 64 bit?

[wheat orchid]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Idk, sorry

[haughty quiver]

Ok

Ok then, thanks for your help!

[thorn merlin]

how do I swap nail/gun with hollow point ?

[fair briar]

Quick cast

Read the readme

[haughty quiver]

Mm the github page says cast to swap, quick cast for spells?

[fair briar]

Hmm

[haughty quiver]

Idk

[fair briar]

it was to see they had read the readme

[haughty quiver]

[empty scroll]

i verified my hollow knight game files to fix an issue, but now it understandably isn't modded. the installer doesn't help me with this. what do I do to enable them again?

[haughty quiver]

Open modinstaller and install them

Is that not working?

[empty scroll]

it is not

[haughty quiver]

Like modinstaller doesn't open?

[fair briar]

whats the error

[empty scroll]

modinstaller opens just fine, and i can enable/disable mods, uninstall things, read the readmes, etc

[empty scroll]

I don't have an error. my mods just aren't being recognized by hk

[fair briar]

click the button down that says "enable modding-api"

[empty scroll]

did that. nothing happened when i opened hk

[haughty quiver]

Maybe try resetting your installer?

This

[empty scroll]

ok, i'll try it

[haughty quiver]

Ok

[empty scroll]

still nothing. modinstaller asked me for my hollow knight path, but launching hk itself didn't change anything.

[haughty quiver]

Hmm

Did you do the usual steps for modinstaller? Like api, installing mods?

[empty scroll]

well, what I'm doing is launching the installer, clicking the button that says "enable modding API," and then launching hk. I haven't installed mods, because the ones I had previously are already installed

[fair briar]

Did you give it the hollow knight path?

[empty scroll]

I did

twice

[haughty quiver]

Maybe try deleting the Mods folder or moving it, and installing them again?

[empty scroll]

once before my question, once when I had deleted the mod installer folder

[haughty quiver]

kek

[empty scroll]

alright, where is that folder? in the hk folder?

[fair briar]

Screenshot your managed folder

[haughty quiver]

Yep, HK/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods

[empty scroll]

screenshot 1

[haughty quiver]

Moving it would be safer in case something goes wrong

[empty scroll]

2

3

[fair briar]

Delete assembly-Csharp.mod, .vanilla and .dll

[empty scroll]

alright, i'll try both of the things you two suggested

[fair briar]

Then launch the installer

[haughty quiver]

Safer to try this first

[fair briar]

Dont launch hk as that will give a horrible mess

[empty scroll]

the mods folder is back though

[wheat orchid]

Good job

[fair briar]

Verify integrity and try again

[haughty quiver]

You can move Modinstaller to a different location to get the option to specify installation location

[wheat orchid]

That’s not the problem here

Iirc the installer looks for the file that was deleted

[haughty quiver]

Hmm but the same error comes up for me sometimes, and that fixes it

But you're probably right

[empty scroll]

okay, now the installer is downloading something

[fair briar]

Nice

[wheat orchid]

Probably the ModdingApi

[empty scroll]

seems it worked. I made a backup of my mods folder cause it has some skins I made, is it fine if I copy it back?

[fair briar]

Yes

[empty scroll]

alright

seems to have worked! thanks a lot for the help everyone

well, "worked." the thing I tried to verify my files for isn't working at all. at least I can launch mods now, so thanks

[fair briar]

What was said thing?

[empty scroll]

custom knight skins are completely blank

[haughty quiver]

Transparent?

[empty scroll]

in what way? the skins are completely invisible, including my soul meter and masks

[fair briar]

You have nodcommon?

[empty scroll]

yes

[haughty quiver]

Damm

[fair briar]

Whats your file structure?

[empty scroll]

file structure?

[fair briar]

It must be mods/custom knight/skinname/png's

[empty scroll]

from steamapps: common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\CustomKnight<skins><images>

[fair briar]

Screenshot where you put the png's including the bar at the top

[empty scroll]

here's for the hornet skin

[fair briar]

Hmm

Seems alright

Did you wait long enough before pressing esc again?

[empty scroll]

how long should I wait for?

[fair briar]

Until... the menu at the left pops back up

[empty scroll]

the menu never disappears

[fair briar]

Just wait for 1 minute, while being in a stag station

[haughty quiver]

You can't esc before it loads in right?

It blocks you I think

[empty scroll]

i can, that's how I arrived at the conclusion that skins are invisible

i remember that while the mod was working, my game used to freeze for a bit and I couldn't do anything. now I can do whatever I please

[fair briar]

What happens if you click the default skin afterwards?

[empty scroll]

same effect

here's a screenshot

[haughty quiver]

Can you switch back to the default skin?

[empty scroll]

well I can click the button, but I'm not sure it does anything. game never freezes and I'm still invisible

I don't really have the energy to deal with this atm, so I'll stop for now and look for solutions elsewhere. thanks for all the help though

[tender karma]

hi

[wheat orchid]

Hi

[fair briar]

Hello

[novel bronze]

Hey, I'm having a problem with my installer, when I try to run it, it says: 'Unable to locate game files. Please make sure the game is installed and then try again.'

[real jacinth]

so where's your game at? and where'd you get it from

[novel bronze]

i got it from Steam

[real jacinth]

and so where are your game files

[novel bronze]

wait a sec

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight

[real jacinth]

on what drive

you don't need to tell me, but that's where you should point the installer to

[novel bronze]

it's on the same drive

[real jacinth]

not sure what that's supposed to mean

[novel bronze]

maybe I don't understand something, what info do you want?

[real jacinth]

C:\

D:\

that's the drive it's on

one of those

[novel bronze]

they're both on C

[real jacinth]

or in weird cases, maybe like E:\ or something

what do you mean both

w/e. just reset your installer and choose where your game is

[native ice]

I think they mean the installer and the game files

[novel bronze]

ok, thank you

[real jacinth]

Reset your installer (#archived-modding-help message)

and when it asks you questions on where your game is, read the prompts before saying yes or no

make sure it exactly matches what you sent above

[novel bronze]

ok

ok it works, thank you very much

[deft garnet]

in the read me folder of grimmchild upgrades it says i can change the grimmchilds color and i looked up how to do it and i only found 1 result which was going to the GrimmchildUpgrades.GlobalSettings files and change the color values but i did so and nothing happened

[real jacinth]

did you save the file? did you make the changes with the game closed? did you relaunch the game after?

[deft garnet]

i saved the files, i did it with the game opened and I relaunched it multiple times

[real jacinth]

files?

you changed more than one?

which ones?

make the change with the game closed

only start the game after you've saved the json

[deft garnet]

the json and the bak

[real jacinth]

you only need to change the json, not the bak

and you haven't saved

i still see a star next to the file name

[deft garnet]

i accidentally typed an s and deleted it when i was opening sniping tool

[deft garnet]

i did the json first but since it didnt work i changed the bak aswell

[real jacinth]

like I said, you have to do it with the game closed

you also have two different color settings. maybe what you're changing isn't affecting what you think it is

I'm not sure which is for which part, but there's different values here

[deft garnet]

I reset the settings to what they were before modifying them (I saved) and opened the game to see if anything changed. Nothing changed.
Then I changed the Blue value to 30 in the higher color settings set, saved, opened the game and checked if anything changed. Nothing changed.
I changed the higher blue setting back to default and changed the lower blue setting to 30, saved, opened the game and checked for any differences. Nothing Changed.

[real jacinth]

you changed it from 32 to 30?

that's hardly different

when the range is from 0 to 255

you might not even be able to see that difference

[deft garnet]

i didnt say anything about a 32

oh

nvm

[deft garnet]

ik

ik

[real jacinth]

it WAS 32

change it to like 255

just to see more drastic difference

[deft garnet]

but i changed the others back to default which by default were 1

all of them were in 1

[real jacinth]

are your mods showing up on the title screen? no loading error text?

[deft garnet]

the grimmchild upgrades is working in other things like damage, notch count and fire ball size which i modified and worked

[real jacinth]

what's your color alpha level at

you could also try getting rid of moresaves

otherwise everything else seems fine

maybe grimmchild's level matters. Like it won't have the color changes unless it's max level

[deft garnet]

it is at max level and the entire mod doesnt work unless its max level

and whats wrong with more saves

[real jacinth]

known to mess with other mods

it's probably fine with this, but it's the only other thing I can think of, unless you're running this in a godmaster save or something

instead of a regular save

otherwise I dunno. everything else seems fine to me

[deft garnet]

its a regular save

[novel bronze]

anyone know how to fix this error when opening the mod installer?

[native ice]

Check the pins

[novel bronze]

im so lost on this step

[native ice]

Which part of it?

[novel bronze]

how to get the the appdata thingy

sorry im new to having a PC

[native ice]

You're on windows?

[novel bronze]

yes

[native ice]

It's all good

Okay

Just type in %appdata% in the search bar

[novel bronze]

ok theres a problem

modinstaller isnt there

[native ice]

After going to %appdata%, in the top on the pathing you'll notice you're in appdata/roaming click on 'appdata' and then look for it

[novel bronze]

nvm im dumb ive got it

alright ive got it working now thanks man

[native ice]

nice

[deft garnet]

i made a shortcut to appdata in my desktop and i just type app and the folder appears and i dont appear in roaming

[native ice]

I mean that's an option yea

[tropic pewter]

Ah

Hi

I have a question, what kinds of mods are there in that?

I see that there are mods where the knight is Grimm, or Hornet, or a type of honey character, I know xD, but my question is if there are the mods I'm talking about, or do I have to install them in another way, could I say how?

[native ice]

Sorry I don’t get what you’re talking about? Do you mean what mods are in the mod installer? Or are you asking about how to get skins?

[tropic pewter]

Technically I'm asking what mods are on that
Sorry if I don't understand, I'm Mexican XD

[native ice]

On what?

I’m assuming you’re talking about the mod installer. It should have almost every mod but if you wanna check which ones and what they do, check the pins

[wheat orchid]

You can see the list of mods on the installer. For making you grimm or hornet, you need the CustomKnight mod. Here is a guide to using the CustomKnight mod https://youtu.be/AKx9Hqzy1OM

To install mods on the mod installer, click the “install” button next to the name of the mod you want

[stable mauve]

hi so I want to mod my game but how do you go about doing it

[native ice]

?i Start by downloading the installer, also I recommend you back up your saves before getting any mods

[dense shuttle]

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

[stable mauve]

how do you go bout doing that

[native ice]

To download the installer click the link from Dyno. To back up your saves copy the userx.dat files from the folder that can be found here.

?saves

[dense shuttle]

Saves

[native ice]

Oops, don't just copy them. Copy them into a dedicated folder so you know what those saves are

[stable mauve]

sso Im on mac and I have no udea how to see the game files

[native ice]

Your saves? Also are you on steam?

[stable mauve]

yeah im on steam

and I mean just the game files to do what the bot said

[native ice]

The bot's first message was just to download the mod installer, the second one is for saves and it shows you the file path to take to reach your saves

[stable mauve]

i dont see a support tab

this are all im getting

[native ice]

I'm not familiar with mac

Oh here, I searched it up

[stable mauve]

Oooo thank you!!

can you send me a link to the place you got this from?

[native ice]

Did you want this "~/Library/Application Support/unity. Team Cherry. Hollow Knight"?

[stable mauve]

yeah thanks

it tells me it cant find that file

[native ice]

~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight maybe try this one?

[stable mauve]

it worked!

[native ice]

nice

[stable mauve]

any of this seem like saves should look like?

[native ice]

yea the user1.dat

[stable mauve]

so then the save is backed up or do I need to do something else?

[native ice]

Copy it into a folder called "Hollow Knight Vanilla Saves" or somethin along those lines, atleast that's what I do

[stable mauve]

do i copy all the user.1's

[native ice]

Just the first 2

[stable mauve]

so im good for modding now?

[native ice]

Yep should be

[stable mauve]

do you happen to have the link for the mac modinstaller

[native ice]

You can find it in the pins, but here ^

[stable mauve]

I open it and it crashes every single time for some reason

[native ice]

Does it give you an error?

[stable mauve]

just "quit unexpectedly"

[gloomy coral]

Put on desktop, right click and open package contents. Then open the executable named modinstaller

[stable mauve]

it worked thank you!

but now it tells me it cant find the hollow knight installation

[gloomy coral]

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

And then point the installer to this path

[stable mauve]

do all the mods come installed already or do I have to install and then enable them?

[gloomy coral]

Option 2

[stable mauve]

is there a link to where I can install modds from?

[native ice]

The mod installer does that. Just click the install option and it does it automatically

Downloading them manually is much more complicated

If you want a list of what mods do check the pins

[stable mauve]

Now I just click enable and run the game?

[native ice]

It should already be enabled when you install it but yea

Run the game and check the top left corner, if the mod names are there it’s working

[stable mauve]

it tells me this when I try to start the game

[native ice]

Uhh, go to that file and take a screenshot? You can get there by doing this^

[gloomy coral]

In steam look for some update setting and set it to a lower level

I don't remember exactly what it's called

[stable mauve]

yeah its updating now

[gloomy coral]

If steam updates each time you open teh game, mods won't work

Cuz HK didn't have any recent update so what steam is doing is re-replacing the modded files

[stable mauve]

oh

so what do i do now

[native ice]

I assume change a setting so it doesn't update every time you launch with mods, or reinstall the mods you got and see if it works this time

[gloomy coral]

In steam right click hollow knight and go through those menus and look for an update option

[stable mauve]

in the properties?

so I tried going back to the mod installer nowI try to disable a mod and it crashes

[native ice]

Don't disable just uninstall, or I think you can fix that by adding a "Disabled" folder inside your mods folder

[stable mauve]

im supposed to have a mod folder??

[native ice]

It appears by itself when you use mod installer to download mods

It's found in Hollow Knight > hollow_knight_data > Managed > Mods

Possibly something different for mac I can't remember

wait no yea it's different for mac you have to like inspect the Hollow Knight.exe

[stable mauve]

is it "mono"?

[native ice]

I don't think so

[stable mauve]

I found what failed then

dont have a mods folder

[native ice]

No

Hang on

Send a screenshot?

[native ice]

Can you navigate to this?

Actually it should be what happens when you browse using the steam local files thing

[native ice]

why is there 2...

[stable mauve]

idk

[native ice]

uhhh I wish I knew mac better, I think you right click on hollow_knight

[stable mauve]

when i right click this is what shows

do I just create a mods folder?

[pliant lantern]

Mac specific info:

../Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight
Right Click hollow_knight.app, and select "show contents"

Mod .dll files go here:
contents -> resources -> data -> managed -> mods

CustomKnight skins go here:
contents -> Managed -> Mods -> CustomKnight -> {SkinName Folder} -> Skin_images.png

[stable mauve]

I am missing the managed and mods then

[pliant lantern]

For Custom Knight, you need to make the folders, yes

Unless Dandy has fixed the new Custom Knight

But I've been not super around the last couple of days

[stable mauve]

no i mean for the mods

cause in the resources data I dont managed

[pliant lantern]

Did you not use Mod Installer yet?

I don't actually know what you're trying to do lol

I just saw that you were looking for the paths

[stable mauve]

I already used modinstaller

[pliant lantern]

Mod Installer would have created the paths. If you don't see the folders, then you might not be in the right place

Unless you gave Mod Installer bad info when you used it

[native ice]

Oh wait, just went back. You don’t need to find your mods folder. I got lost in several conversations

[native ice]

Uninstall and reinstall a mod then launch the game and see if it automatically updates again or gives you that same error

[stable mauve]

i just gave it the game file for the path

[pliant lantern]

If Mod Installer asked for a path, then it should have been ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/ that you used, unless you changed your default settings at any point

[stable mauve]

yeah thats the path i gave it

and it doesnt update anymore but still no mods

[pliant lantern]

Actually, I just realized the I think that that path might be off by one

I'm pretty sure it should be
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/

But for some reason the ?saves message includes the .app part

[stable mauve]

so how do i redirect th epath now

[pliant lantern]

You might not need to? If it hadn't worked, I'm pretty sure it would have given you an error. It's just odd

At any rate, in Mod Installer 2, did you Enable ModdingAPI?

[stable mauve]

hmm?

[stable mauve]

yes

[pliant lantern]

And you enabled the other mods that you want?

[stable mauve]

i have this

[pliant lantern]

You probably don't want ModConsole, fwiw

It's not toggleable

[stable mauve]

ok

but any reason why you think its not working?

[wheat orchid]

Screenshot the main menu of hk

[pliant lantern]

It should be. Are you launching it from Steam

Also yeah, that

[wheat orchid]

Afterwards, check if you have a mods menu in the options menu

[wheat orchid]

Hmmm

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the ModdingApi

[stable mauve]

do i reopen the game?

[wheat orchid]

Close it then uninstall and reinstall the ModdingApi then open it again

[pliant lantern]

Close the game first, Uninstall ModdingAPI, then Reinstall it

then open the game again

[wheat orchid]

Never mess with the mod installer with the game open

[stable mauve]

ok

[wheat orchid]

Hmmm

Try resetting mod installer 2 using the instructions in the pins

Make sure to close mod installer 2 before doing them

Nvm there aren’t instructions for that

[pliant lantern]

Mac
You can reset the path by deleting
~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json

[pliant lantern]

Is Steam still attempting to update your game?

[stable mauve]

not anymore

and when I try the path you gave me it wont let me choose it

[quasi river]

hey im new to this community am i allowed to link a vid that may be helpful?

[stable mauve]

if not please dm it to me

[quasi river]

sent

[pliant lantern]

Well, that's probably why it doesn't link to it then. It's just an odd difference.

[stable mauve]

So do I just copy the application into the file so it lets me?

[pliant lantern]

Yeah, you'd just use the full version that includes the .app

[quasi river]

Quick question to anyone who may be able to help... when I launch hollow knight with modding api enabled my ps5 controller inputs no longer register. The game still recognizes the controller is connected under the controller settings. Controller works fine on vanilla hollow knight. Any way around this?

[pliant lantern]

Modding API does a weird thing with controllers for some reason

If you use steam, you can enable the "Force Controller" settings, and try selecting PS controller or Xbox controller

If that doesn't work, then you'd need to use a remapper program (like Joy2Key), and remap the controller inputs to keyboard ones

[quasi river]

Awesome, thanks for your help!

[quasi river]

perfecttttttttt

[pliant lantern]

Actually, that spot is to Steam's remapper

[real jacinth]

try this

for hk

[pliant lantern]

Ah, I found where they put it outside of Big Picture

It's in Properties > Controller

[real jacinth]

this is mine. basically all turned off

[stable mauve]

Still doesn’t work, I give up with modding

[pliant lantern]

I have no idea why the Mod Installer won't work right for you, but there's this guide on Manually Modding. It's written for the GOG version, but it should apply to the Steam version too

[quasi river]

Thanks again. I tried a bunch of different settings in steam but couldn't seem to figure it out. Decided to use a program called enjoyable to map my buttons to keyboard and it worked like a charm. One strange thing I did note was that when I had my controller set to the steam controller. I turned on the controller display and only the right stick was registering in-game. Either way I

I'm glad it worked out lol

[vestal depot]

Hey, I cannot seem to find what does the hkmote mod in the mod installer does

Does anyone knows?

[native ice]

I think it's for emotes but I don't know how it works

[vestal depot]

Oh, ok thnk

Thanks

[fair briar]

its for multiplayer(?)

not entirely sure

[native ice]

Possibly for youtube videos

Probably for multiplayer

[fair briar]

https://github.com/PrashantMohta/hkmote/blob/master/readme.md

[fair briar]

can anyone check for me, is the hkmote on the installer?

i'll just assume so for now

[vernal rain]

look on the modlinks

in short: maybe

[fair briar]

ill look

yes it is

so it will be added to the "on the installer" part

[haughty quiver]

I don't know if this is caused by mods or not, but I can't change my full screen setting

Hovering over it doesn't select it

The cursor isn't visible but it's over fullscreen right now

[neon marten]

@haughty quiver try using the arrow keys

[brazen pasture]

added where

[gloomy coral]

Press alt + enter

[gloomy coral]

Mapi messes with full screen option for some reason so using arrows keys wouldn't work

[fair briar]

The readme doc ofc

[brazen pasture]

oh nice!

[vernal rain]

alt+enter

to toggle between windowed & full screen

[tidal coral]

[fair briar]

[restive barn]

@fair briar

[real jacinth]

screenshot your installer

[fair briar]

in what sense does infinite notches work?

[real jacinth]

should probably activate your windows too

[fair briar]

and make sure you have installed the modding api

[real jacinth]

do you have a mods option in here

[restive barn]

yes

it has some mods like bench warp infinite notches etc

but they are turned on

[real jacinth]

do this
