You'd have to manually install and find a 1.5 api, not sure where that is but I think there's one. I don't think it's worth the effort, it's very easy to downpatch and use the installer

[pliant lantern]

Afaik, essentially all mods are either 1.5 or 1.4-
If a mod was made to work in 1.5, it likely won't work in earlier versions

[gloomy coral]

That same for all versions

If mods are made for 1.4 it won't directly work for 1221

[pliant lantern]

?
Wot, that's not entirely true though

[gloomy coral]

Wait yea

I think HK timer does work for both 1432 and 1221

Cuz same .net version

[pliant lantern]

Well rather, ones for 1432 may not work on 1221, but there are 1221 mods that work on 1432

[gloomy coral]

Maybe I just need to learn the correct hacks

[pliant lantern]

(also, 1221 may not be a correct example, but I know that there are pre-1432 mods that work on it)

[wheat orchid]

1.4.3.2 and before is not really applicable to 1.5 though due to many changes in the ModdingApi, .net framework version, and unity version

[pliant lantern]

The framework change is the biggest thing afaik

[wheat orchid]

Mod settings changes will also block mods from working

[pliant lantern]

Yeah, I mean, Mapi is critically different because of the framework changes, yes?

Or were global settings changed regardless of that

?

[vernal rain]

regardless

[pliant lantern]

Ah

[wheat orchid]

Pretty sure they were changed regardless

At the beginning of development on a 1.5 api they were still there

[fading canopy]

i installed some mods but now my game is... in an other language. i don't know what but it's impossible to read (i have a screen if it can help) does somebody know which mod do that ?

[wheat orchid]

Uninstall arts mods

[fading canopy]

okay

[tidal axle]

my installer keeps doing this, already tried deleting the %appdata% modding folder and reinstalling hk on C: and E: folders

[vernal rain]

[pliant lantern]

[tidal axle]

oh thanks 😦

never knew that 1.5 had no mods tho

[pliant lantern]

1.5 literally just appeared 3 days ago. How can you say "never knew" like it has been a year? Lol

[maiden flint]

According to the normal help channel, you guys would be better at helping me fix my problem with getting into hollowknight

I have no mods but because of the macOS error thing I can’t play

[pliant lantern]

Oof

[maiden flint]

I managed to get it to work with some help yesterday, but I can’t make a shortcut like I’m supposed to

The guy helping told me to type the following

[pliant lantern]

Have you tried this, Steve?

[maiden flint]

-s /Users/my username/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS/hollow_knight ~/Desktop/

And yes, I did put my actual username in there so that isn’t the problem

I’ll try that

[maiden flint]

Well now I have the way to get into hollow knight in my notes but I need to make it a shortcut

Like an application that leads to another application

[pliant lantern]

Yeah. In Windows the equivalent is a .bat

[maiden flint]

Maybe I’ll just replace the tilde with -s

That seemed to do something last time

[pliant lantern]

Mac is Unix right? Does it just use .sh files?

[maiden flint]

I don’t think so? It might be idk

I mean I got a few types of programs on my desktop

.jar .dmg .jar.log

Idk man

[pliant lantern]

Oh snap, I just looked it up. I'm right

What's the equivalent of notepad?

[maiden flint]

Notes

I guess

[pliant lantern]

Okay, make a notes file that just had that text in it

That I linked

Then save it as "hollowknight.sh"

On your desktop

[maiden flint]

Ok

[pliant lantern]

Then double click it

[maiden flint]

Wait how do I put a note on my desktop? Because I use a family computer so I have hundreds of notes

[pliant lantern]

It might not matter where you save it.

[maiden flint]

Ah I just make a folder

I don’t use notes

Like ever

So I wouldn’t know that

[pliant lantern]

The important part is that it should make a file you can click, that isn't considered just a note file

[maiden flint]

And I do that how exactly

[pliant lantern]

Actually, rename it "hollowknight.command" instead of "hollowknight.sh"

[maiden flint]

Alrighty

[pliant lantern]

then it should be clickable

[maiden flint]

So how do I put da note in da folder

[pliant lantern]

Can you not save it there?

Notes is wrong

[maiden flint]

I mean I made the folder

O

Then what is it?

[pliant lantern]

That's not the right app, that's why

[maiden flint]

What app are you talking about

[pliant lantern]

You need to use TextEdit

[maiden flint]

Time to go download TextEdit

[pliant lantern]

So open TextEdit, copy and paste the code in Mulhima's message that I linked, and save it as hollowknight.command

Wot

TextEdit should be built in

[maiden flint]

That doesn’t even exist

I can go into my finder right now and it will not appear if I search for it

Wait no there it is

Why the hell is it not in applications

[pliant lantern]

It's part of the os

It's not a normal app

[maiden flint]

I have no idea what folder that was in

But I’m moving it to applications so I don’t have to search for it

[timber plank]

hi, does anyone know when 1.5 can be modded?

[limber egret]

No

[pliant lantern]

Info in pins on using 1.4 for now

[timber plank]

o ok ty

[devout violet]

Sorry,but where do i find the ModInstaller folder in %appdata%..\Local? Am i wrong searching? Or...what

[junior gulch]

how do I roll back to 1.4.3.2 with steam if the game already updated to the 1.5?

[maiden flint]

So what kind of document do I save it as tho? Does it matter?

I have a few options for the document type

I got the standard one or I can get .html .odt .docx .xml or .doc

And does the document itself need a specific name?

[pliant lantern]

.command is the type. I guess you can save it as "hollowknight" using "the standard one", and then change the end part to .commamd

[pliant lantern]

What are you trying to do?

[devout violet]

Wait a min

[maiden flint]

Wait so is the folder or the document named hollowknight.command

Because I can’t have both

[devout violet]

Im trying to do what it says there

[pliant lantern]

Or try just saving it as "hollowknight.commamd" using the standard one, and it might be smart enough to know that the part after the dot is the extension

[pliant lantern]

If you're on Windows, you can just use the .bat fine attached to the second pinned message

[pliant lantern]

The note file needs to have that name

[devout violet]

Ok

[maiden flint]

Good because you originally said to have that as the folder name

[pliant lantern]

I never mentioned a folder

O.o

[maiden flint]

Lemme see if I can find it up there

[pliant lantern]

The only time folders came up was when you mentioned wanting to use a folder because of a family shared computer

[maiden flint]

Ah

You see, I’m not very smart

Time to see if it works

[pliant lantern]

At any rate, the point here, is that a note file with a .command extension should just run the contents in terminal

[devout violet]

Do i have just to open it? Like...you know,clicking it

[maiden flint]

Now I need to change the permissions because MacOS hates files that can do things

[pliant lantern]

You'd need to download the .bat, then double click it

[devout violet]

Ok

[maiden flint]

Wait what privilege do I need to give it? Administrator?

[pliant lantern]

Sure

Lol

[maiden flint]

I see that even administrators are not allowed to use the terminal

[devout violet]

I alredy did that,and this appears

[pliant lantern]

[pliant lantern]

Yes, then it's done

[devout violet]

Then...wait a min

[pliant lantern]

That file automatically does the "reset mod installer memory" step

[maiden flint]

Oh apparently I’m not allowed to either

Even though I’m using terminal right now

Da hell is wrong with MacOS

[devout violet]

This still appears

[pliant lantern]

You need to read the first pin

[devout violet]

Ok

[pliant lantern]

I'll need to look into this more I guess.

Just to confirm, you can personally run the terminal, and if you paste that code into it, it ruins HK?

Because that part is very important to work

[maiden flint]

Yep

[pliant lantern]

Okay

[maiden flint]

But whenever I try to use the command file it just goes

[devout violet]

I have to put that one,right?

[maiden flint]

“The file hollowknight.command could not be executed because you do not have appropriate access privileges”

[brazen pasture]

try just running this

[maiden flint]

“To view or change access privileges, select the file in Finder and choose file > Get info”

[brazen pasture]

you may have to run chmod +x starthk.command in the terminal after navigating to the directory that contains this file

[maiden flint]

Apparently it’s waiting to update

[pliant lantern]

Amazing. A UI based system has no UI method of making a file executable?

[maiden flint]

Also hollowknight.app no longer exists for some reason

[pliant lantern]

Wot

[maiden flint]

Yea the file hollow_knight.app

It isn’t where it should be

[pliant lantern]

Use stream's Verify Integrity

[brazen pasture]

i mean i have not tried it. it might exist.

[maiden flint]

Like if I show the package contents of hollowknight

It ain’t there

[pliant lantern]

It'll repair hk

[maiden flint]

Why does this even happen

I never question where the hell the files go when it needs to repair like 4 of them

[pliant lantern]

It's possible that when you were trying things to make the shortcut, you accidentally yeeted the app

[maiden flint]

I never even touched it

[pliant lantern]

The command lines are touching it

That's what they do lol

[maiden flint]

Those command lines need to start practicing social distancing man

Well I assume they wouldn’t do anything if they didn’t interact with the files

In that case the computer probably would not work at all

This reminds me of when I tried to install windows on my Mac

It mostly worked

Until windows crashed every time it started

[pliant lantern]

This is probably what yeeted with it, if you did it

[maiden flint]

I didn’t

And why would it? Doesn’t it just make a shortcut in the last listed location?

Uhh

No files got replaced

I guess hollow knight just doesn’t exist anymore huh

Yea it’s really just gone then

But searching in finder isn’t really a good way because for some reason it doesn’t show you everything

Wait it does exist

And seemingly in the right spot

Because I just opened it and it worked

Where the hell did hollow_knight.app go

I don’t care enough to continue with this

I’ll just save this for when I want to spend 3 hours figuring out how to navigate around the stupidity of MacOS

Windows was so much easier

BRO I DON’T HAVE PERMISSION TO CHANGE THE PERMISSIONS FOR TERMINAL ON MY OWN GOD DAMN COMPUTER

Apparently only the computer itself is allowed to use terminal

Is there a way I can be considered higher than the system?

[brazen pasture]

you could use sudo

[junior token]

I can't figure out the mac installation :/

[maiden flint]

Su what now

[coarse gorge]

can someone help me with the installation of the ak47 mod?

[maiden flint]

You mean hollow point

?

From what I remember when I was modding the game, you just download and install it form the mod installer

[coarse gorge]

i think so

[junior token]

does Hollow Knight v1.5 work for mods

[maiden flint]

I hear that it does not

[junior token]

I literally can't run 1.4 because I'm Mac OS catalina

[coarse gorge]

after downloading it do i have to do anything else?

[pliant lantern]

Make sure you read the ReadMe

[maiden flint]

As long as hollow knight is not at 1.5 you would be fine

I think there’s an install button tho

[junior token]

Am I just unable to run mods?

[pliant lantern]

sudo [commandhere]

[pliant lantern]

Read the first pin

[junior token]

I did

[coarse gorge]

is there a way to cancel an update or something like that?

[maiden flint]

Pinned message

[junior token]

ih I didn't see the bottom part

[coarse gorge]

k thx

[junior token]

Probelm is if I run a downpatch I can't run 1.4 because it's 32 bit*

[pliant lantern]

Other than downpatching, you can buy the game on GoG. The Galaxy launcher let's you pick any patch

[junior token]

I am unable to run 1.4 because of my operating system though

[maiden flint]

Is it 64 bit?

[pliant lantern]

There was/is a 64 bit 1432

The beta branch on steam is just not it

[junior token]

Oh

I just bought the game on steam for modding rip

[maiden flint]

Why can’t I just have a 32 bit windows

Why must I have a 64 bit Mac

[junior token]

well there goes 15 bucks

[pliant lantern]

TC put that branch up for 32 bit users, not for legacy support of 1432 unfortunately

[pliant lantern]

The downpatching guide should still work, it's just complex

1.5 modding api is also on it's way to being easily available. It's just gonna take time for mods to also be available

[junior token]

screw this

bootcamp it is

[pliant lantern]

[maiden flint]

Boot camp doesn’t work very well for anything

[coarse gorge]

oh

[maiden flint]

I tried to install windows twice

[coarse gorge]

well that was easy

[maiden flint]

It did not work either time

[junior token]

I know bootcamp isnt the best

[maiden flint]

It just crashed a lot

[junior token]

it works well enough

[maiden flint]

So I had to revert to just having a Mac

[pliant lantern]

I mean, I definitely know people who've used it without issues

[maiden flint]

Why did I have issues tho?

My computer has enough memory and I allocated a good chunk of storage

[pliant lantern]

But, they are also fellow tech friends, and may have just gone through a lot of tinkering to get it all smooth

[maiden flint]

🗿

[pliant lantern]

I still need to look into a MacOs VM, so that I can learn Mac enough to help people

[maiden flint]

MacOS just sucks with customization

Boom now you know it all

Honestly, trying to get hollow knight to work as a shortcut was a pointless waste of time

[pliant lantern]

Your can always open Terminal, hit up arrow, and hit enter

It's something

[brazen pasture]

Lol

Tbh it's easier than mousing around half the time

[pliant lantern]

Imagine, wanting shortcuts for HK. How silly, really

[pulsar wadi]

I followed the pinned instructions for downgrading back to 1.4.3.2 on Steam and resetting the ModInstaller, but when I open the game it does not show any mod content. I'm not getting any errors anymore, just also not getting mods. Windows 10.

[brazen pasture]

i have yet to figure out how to have multiple steam copies of the game

[pliant lantern]

#archived-modding-help message

[pulsar wadi]

Thank you, didn't see that in pinned

[pliant lantern]

Yeah, it wasn't very clear. I just edited the message to make it more visible

[pliant lantern]

I have never tried
If I eventually decide to have multiple instances, I'll just use GoG copies.
But I currently don't have plans to play on multiple patches, so I can get away with a .bat file that swaps out mod sets :)

[brazen pasture]

that's a good idea, perhaps something to PR MI2 for

mod loadouts + vanilla

[desert adder]

hello im new to modding in hk, where can i go to get the mod installer

[pliant lantern]

?i The link below, but please read the most recent pin before modding

[dense shuttle]

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

[desert adder]

thank u

[fair berry]

I'm trying to revert the game to 1.4.3 but it says I need a "beta access code". I'm not sure what to do

[pliant lantern]

Yeah, Jamie was working on one at one point, but then got busy
I'm honestly hoping that with the updates to modlinks, that it won't be too far in the future when we see something like that.
Until then, I have this

||Which is outdated, but I'll update be updating it soon™️||

[pliant lantern]

You don't need a code

[fair berry]

ok

[pliant lantern]

Codes are for Private Betas. Public Betas use the drop-down list

[desert adder]

oh yeah i just clicked the x and it worked

[candid portal]

Hi

whenever I try to install the mod installer is says. Please select the correct installation path

[honest flax]

where did you install it from

[novel bronze]

help i need to reset my installer and i forgot which buttons to press, like its the windows button and something else

[honest flax]

this sounds helpful to reset the modinstaller

[novel bronze]

i know but i know i need to press some certain buttons

[candid portal]

https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe this link

[honest flax]

they said they wanted to reset the modinstaller though?

all you need to do is delete a folder

[native ice]

The second pin down has a method of reseting the installer, you may be thinking of "Win+R" to locate the Appdata file and delete the modinstaller folder

[novel bronze]

I think this is a new error message

[native ice]

If you have the game from steam/gog, reset your mod installer and next time it opens make sure you direct it to the right path '

[native ice]

Check the pins

[novel bronze]

i need help with this

[native ice]

#archived-modding-help message

[novel bronze]

ohhhh ive been deleting all file

[desert adder]

im trying to get the enemy randomization mod but it said i need modding API and ModCommon

i got the mod installer does that come with those two

[honest flax]

modding api is already installed the time you open modinsatller

[pliant lantern]

Yes, they are all on Mod Installer.
Make sure that you're playing the correct patch of HK too

info in the first pin

[honest flax]

you mean 1.4.3.2

right?

right??

[pliant lantern]

I meant correct

but

yes

[desert adder]

i got the patch from the pin

[honest flax]

modding api and modcommon are all the way at top

if you haven't installed those

[desert adder]

it seems to be working

[honest flax]

cool have fun with having several radiances in king's pass

[desert adder]

oh yay

[pliant lantern]

If the big "Randomize Enemies" button didn't appear on your main menu, then you need to toggle the mod off and on in the menu btw

[desert adder]

it did

[full lava]

I installed a room and item randomizer mod as well as the debug mod a little while ago on the PC steam version of HK (I primarily play on switch). This is my only modding experience.

I am now becoming interested in creating my own mod to add a coliseum-like area to Godhome with custom trials.

Where should I go to learn about modding resources and figure out how much time and effort this would actually take me?

[honest flax]

i mean... if you wanna create mods, you should get some c# experience

modding api documentations are in https://radiance.host/apidocs/Getting-Started.html @full lava

[full lava]

Thank you

[honest flax]

go to creating mods section

[manic flax]

Can anyone help me with an issue I'm having with the multiplayer mod? My friend and I can get on the same server and see each other, but we cant see each other moving

[native ice]

You should both restart your games and try again

[manic flax]

alright. When she gets back we'll try again

[wind dagger]

so i have put the zote mod into the custom knight folder but when i open hollow knight to see if anything is there nothing is there

[native ice]

Can you send a screenshot of your main menu

[wind dagger]

ummmm

i forgot how to screenshot -_-

[native ice]

On windows i use "Win + shift+ s", and I think "Fn + PrtSc" works

or maybe it's windoews not fn

[wind dagger]

is this what u wanted

[native ice]

I wanted it on the main menu but I think that tells me enough. I think you need to downpatch to Ver 1.4.3.2 since mods are incompatible with the new update. The guide for it is in the first pinned message

[wind dagger]

hmm well i did downpatch

[native ice]

Recently the pin was updated, theres now a link to a message explaining what to do if mods don't show up after downpatching

[wind dagger]

ok

[crude island]

i've been getting this bug where talking to npcs sometimes softlocks the game, and idk what i'm doing to cause this but it happens pretty often and i have to quit without saving when it does. i don't know which of my mods is causing it, either. does this sound familiar to anyone?

[native ice]

I’ve never heard of it, but what mods are you using?

[crude island]

Randomizer 3, QoL, custom knight, benchwarp, and howwow knyight

[wheat orchid]

I blame howwow and Qol combination

[crude island]

I used to think it was custom knights fault but it just happened with no skin active

[wheat orchid]

Is the Vasi mod installed

[crude island]

I think so

[wheat orchid]

Ok

Try disabling howwow then talking to the npc

[crude island]

The thing is it’s not consistent

[wheat orchid]

Hmmm

Might be a memory thing then

[crude island]

Well it might still be howwow’s fault since I think that randomizes the text

I guess i’ww tuwn off howwow knyight 😔

[novel wasp]

this appears when I try modding and the game closes. Any idea in how to fix this?

[pliant lantern]

Have you read any of the pins yet, especially the first one?

[slender cypress]

hi!! where can i find a no hit - runs section for hk?

[novel wasp]

just telling me to read the pins would be friendly enough

[pliant lantern]

?
I'm not intending to be unfriendly. I'm just not sure what you've tried yet, or what status you're at.

[gusty cedar]

I have hollow knight from the xbox store on my computer (i originally got it on the gamepass and then purchased it normally so it's on that) and I can't get the modinstaller to find the installation path and i can't browse to find it either

[pliant lantern]

Unfortunately, that version isn't moddable. Only the Steam and GOG versions are.

You can keep an eye on this site for a sale on a compatible version: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/info/ (note that many sites like Humble Bundle sell the games in the form of steam keys)

[floral sluice]

Could someone help me with a glitch I've been having? For some reason healing is super fast and uses barely any soul
I'm not sure what's causing it, charms don't seem to affect it and it's specific to one save file

[native ice]

It's likely because you had HollowPoint installed on that save at some point, theres a fix in the pinned messages

[floral sluice]

Thanks!

[fading canopy]

I tried to install hollow point but i only have some files and a folder with .cs files. To install it, i need to put the folder in the mod folder of my game ?

[native ice]

You should download it using the Mod Installer

And if I'm not mistaken you need a .dll file

[fading canopy]

Yeah, it's why i ask i don't find the .dll and when you say "download it using the mod installer" like some other mod with "install" on the modinstaller ?

[native ice]

Yes, you can download HollowPoint the same as any other mod on the installer, just hit the "Install" button, and if you're on mod installer 2 make sure you download the required dependencies

[fading canopy]

Oh ok, i find it, thanks !

[devout crater]

um there is a giant black square in the upper right corner of my screen in game

[native ice]

What mods do you have installed?

[devout crater]

energy bar, debug and i had to revert the game update to get the modding

[native ice]

I've never heard of energy bar, is it possible that's what's causing it?

[pliant lantern]

Hey, when you have a moment, try this file.
A friend of mine made it, and said that it might work for you. If it doesn't, then the issue is with how you're computer's permissions/accounts are set up more likely.

[devout crater]

i will disable it and see brb

[pliant lantern]

Did you install ModConsole?

[devout crater]

no dwarf

[native ice]

Wait by energy bars did you mean enemyhpbars?

[devout crater]

yes

[native ice]

Oh

That probably didn't cause it

Or maybe it did not sure actually

[pliant lantern]

Can you (Trickster) post a screenshot of your in-game pause menu?

[devout crater]

well i did have to revert the game back to 1.4.3.2 version

[pliant lantern]

Yes

[native ice]

Many people have, that's likely not the cause

[pliant lantern]

You have to do that for mods ||Unless you're using 1.5api, but unless you're a dev, there's not much point rn||

[devout crater]

sure one sec

um how do i do a screenshot?

[pliant lantern]

WinKey + shift + S is an easy way

Then drag over the game, then Ctrl + V in Discord

[devout crater]

see a black square

[native ice]

Can you send a screenshot with your game paused please

[devout crater]

like this?

[native ice]

Yes, thank you

It looks like you installed ModConsole, probably on accident. Go to the installer and uninstall that

[devout crater]

ok

[fading canopy]

My nail has disapeared with hollow point, how can i fix that ?

[native ice]

You mean you can't use it because you have a gun out or it's invisible or what?

[fading canopy]

It is invisible except down and up, and it is smaller with the mod.

I have to go to school, i'll give some informations later when i'll can

[pliant lantern]

You need to read the ReadMe for it:
You can't start a new file with it. You need to start a file without it, save and quit, then enable it and play

[stone olive]

i recently installed the custom knight mod, its the first mod i have installed and it works fine, the only problem is that for some reason geo seems to be invisible now? changing back to default skin or restarting the game doesn't fix it, anyone know the reason why or how to fix it?

[native ice]

I believe you're just supposed to change skins in not very crowded rooms, like stag stations. Also I think it may help to move the geo.png asset into the skin folder

[stone olive]

ah, changing skins in a stag station seemed to have fixed it weird and easy fix, thanks for your help

[balmy wave]

but I have it on the newest patch have not touch a single file in the game with my new pc

[novel bronze]

check the pins

[balmy wave]

ahh thanks

[brazen pasture]

I swear the code does not imply this would ever fix it what would fix it per the code is new geo spawning and the current skin having Geo.png

[native ice]

H u h

[gloomy coral]

Lol

Maybe it's just placebo

[brazen pasture]

The skin for geo is applied when new geo spawns if Geo.png exists in current skin.

When switching to new skin all previous skin textures are destroyed.

So when switching from a skin that has Geo.png to one that does not have Geo.png you'd get invisible geo.

This can be fixed by applying another skin that has Geo.png and getting new Geo to spawn.

This is what I've figured out looking at customknights code

[gloomy coral]

Dandy the API has this feature to use the in-game mods menu for mod settings

You could maybe use that for custom knight to de clutter the pause menu

[livid shore]

hello, since the last update, whenever i try to launch the modinstaller, i get this message but i checked and i have correctly installed this update and i even reinstalled the modinstaller. Do i need to go back to another version, is this just broken, or am i just bad at downloading stuff ?

[gloomy coral]

You could find it on speedrun.com

[past pilot]

Hello, so my mate went back to 1.4.whatever it is, we followed all the pins and it still comes up with the photo below
He's tried reinstalling the game as well as the api, i've followed the pins and it worked for me, but it doesnt work for him. Can anyone help?

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot main menu

[past pilot]

you mean this? or something else (his screen btw)

[gloomy coral]

Download and run this file and then try opening the installer

[past pilot]

Still didnt work apperently

nvm, he's dumb and downloaded it on the wrong hard drive which messed up things

[keen bridge]

stop speaking

[past pilot]

LOL

[sacred heron]

Sure?

i don't find any save

[neon marten]

In the resources section

[tiny ledge]

hey i was wondering where i could find sprites for the npcs and everything. someone knows pls ?

[neon marten]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lx02_w9TFTYdR3aggI1gbXcLr69roaNV

[tender copper]

excuse me
what is this

[neon marten]

@tender copper are you trying to run 1.5?

Try verifying the game files

If you want to mod the game: check the pins

[tiny ledge]

tysm !

[neon marten]

Np

[tender copper]

idk it is 1.5 or not

[neon marten]

That is the mod installer

For mods you have to downgrade to 1.4

[tender copper]

oh i got it

[neon marten]

Instructions are in the pins

[tender copper]

thanks for helping

[gloomy coral]

Do you want the achievement?

[sacred heron]

Yeah

ONLY that achievement

Purity

[rose dew]

can someone send me the folders for the multiplayer client mod? i know that its in the mod installer but i need the folders

[finite rivet]

i know the new version is not compatible with mods, but i just wanted to know how long the update might take?

and just on a note, does it happen to be open source?

[uneven tartan]

so i checked the pinned comment for the beta with mods, but I don't know where to get the Beta code from?

[real jacinth]

you don't need a code

[bold dagger]

I have a problem :
I did split my hollow knight per batch,data and now with the new patch my hollow knight dont even start

with the modding and vanilla batch data

and now i clicked on the the modded version and the game dont even start

and if i try to stat it vanilla way also

pls can somebody help me

can I just remove the hollow knight combined Instance files ?

[real jacinth]

I have no idea what you're asking

[bold dagger]

because of speedrunning i split my hollow knight in two one for practice with dedbug mod and one without and now with the new patch my hollow knight dont start

[real jacinth]

did you read the first pin

[bold dagger]

ok i ll see

so if i update hollow knight to 1.4.3.2 it will work with that batch data ?

[real jacinth]

what do you mean by batch data

[bold dagger]

Windows batch data

[real jacinth]

that doesn't clear it up

[bold dagger]

the one bellow in the screenshot

named vanilla and the one named modded

[real jacinth]

those aren't part of the game

you added those

I don't know what's in them

so how can I say if they will work

[clever bay]

is there any way to disable achievments? cuz i wanna do poh but i havent done it in vanilla yet

[real jacinth]

don't think so

[bold dagger]

the way how it works is you click on one of them and the game starts eighter with modding appi and the other time without

thank you the pinned massage helped me out

its fine nown

now

but one question: can i get aviedments on later patched of the game

?

can you send me a picture how a normal hollow kngith data look s?

[fair briar]

what?

i mean, almost everything is open source but what do you want to habe

the api, the installer or a mod?

[wheat orchid]

I think they might mean hollow knight?

Hollow knight is not open source

[fair briar]

hk not no

[rocky pulsar]

are all mods opensource tho

[vernal rain]

most of them can be found on github, for the rest the authors should be here on this discord afaik

[pliant lantern]

Yes. If you revert back to 1432, the .bat files will work again.

Those files only work with 1432.
If you want to play 1.5, then you will need to manually replace those files with versions for 1.5, although I personally wouldn't recommend doing that yet.

[pliant lantern]

Those are the Assemblies from Jamie's Vanilla switcher, fwiw

[forest hinge]

do the mods in the loader update by themselves or do i have to reinstall the loader ot get hte latest versisons

[pliant lantern]

They auto update

[pliant lantern]

For clarity, you have to open the installer again for them to update. But you don't need to redownload it

[bold dagger]

and how could i change the zip to 1 5 if i want to

[pliant lantern]

If you wanted to update the files to 1.5, you need to

• make sure you have the 1.5 vanilla Assembly (achieved by having the game updated to it, then using Verify Integrity in steam)
• copy and paste the vanilla assembly, and rename it to match how the vanilla copy is in your screenshot, and then replace the old one with the new one
• install the 1.5 modding api (which you'd need to do Manually, since it's not available from mod installer yet)
• repeat the copy+paste+rename step, except for modded

It would probably be better to wait until the 1.5 Mod Installer is available though

[bold dagger]

thx you helped me out a lot

and yeah i ll wait

[past trellis]

hey guys will changing back to 1.4.3.2 get rid of my saves? I want to try out the CustomKnight mod

[real jacinth]

No

[past trellis]

ok thanks

[real jacinth]

lol. caps lock

[past trellis]

also is there a mod manager link somewhere on the server?

[real jacinth]

pins

[past trellis]

ah thanks

[pliant lantern]

I assume a 1.5 save won't work on 1432 though, right? Or will HK even show it?

[past trellis]

is 1.5 the latest update?

[real jacinth]

It'll show it. But won't be able to run it

Or might corrupt it if opened

[pliant lantern]

?if you're on Windows, then in the pins it was the link that said "installer", but here's a direct link too btw

[dense shuttle]

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

[real jacinth]

But downpatching doesn't get rid of saves

[pliant lantern]

1.5 is the latest hollow knight patch, but it just came out 4 days ago, so mods aren't supported on it yet.

[past trellis]

how do i make a save just incase i fuck up hollowknight

what path is it in

Hello, in "mod manager", when I press "Enable Modding API", my game crashes right at the startup. I am able to see the knight with a red exclamation mark. I was able to use custom knight many months ago, but it seems that I am now unable to use mods. Is there an obvious solution that I am missing? Thank you in advance.

[delicate valley]

o

thank u

i shulda checked lol

[novel bronze]

how do i know when modinstaller will work for 1.5? and do i need to update it somewhere?

[short ice]

THE MOD INSTOLER DONT WARK

[real jacinth]

by checking back every so often

[viral heart]

a

[novel bronze]

where do i check tho

[real jacinth]

here

[novel bronze]

where here?

[real jacinth]

and the installer will likely tell you too

this discord here

[novel bronze]

like.... do i ask here, or do i check pinned?

[real jacinth]

it will probably be a few weeks.

both

[novel bronze]

mk

tysm

sorry for the repetitive prob dumb questions

im just rlly new to this kinda stuff

[limber egret]

Check the pins or else you'll keep asking

It will be pinned when it is updated

[warped blaze]

hi! does anyone have the following issue with RandoMapMod from the ModInstaller? I followed the instructions in the pinned message and got all the mods back to work, but MapMod is not working with my existing save games. When I start a new game, it does work by talking to Elderbug. Might it just be broken or is there a way to get it working with an existing save file? Thanks in advance!

[real jacinth]

When I start a new game, it does work by talking to Elderbug
is this a randomizer save?
but MapMod is not working with my existing save
is this a randomizer save?

[balmy plover]

Hy everyone, im having a problem that it says that it is unable to find the files from hollow knight

[real jacinth]

did you follow the first pin?

[balmy plover]

yes

and i have it from steam as well

[real jacinth]

reset the installer then

and run it again

[warped blaze]

Yes, it is.

[real jacinth]

to which question

[balmy plover]

it doesnt work, i can show u a print of it

[warped blaze]

sorry, both the old and new save files are randomizer files

[real jacinth]

how old is your old one

[warped blaze]

a few weeks, started it before the update a few days ago. Updated it to 1.5, then (following the pin) back to 1.4.3.2 . The new one was just created to test whether a new save file would work

[real jacinth]

so was it with an older randomizer version?

[warped blaze]

not that I know of, I used RandomizerMod 3.12(573)

(still says that in the top left corner of the game)

if it was a different version when I started that save file, could that be the issue? I have done some uninstalling and re-installing so might just be my own fault tbh. Can't say for sure if this version is the same as when I started it

[real jacinth]

could be. could also be that you're just not talking to him enough. You have to fully exhaust his dialogue options then it'll give you maps after that.

could also try using the new beta build of it. and press ctrl+M to give maps

[warped blaze]

the dialogue is exhausted 🙂 I will give the beta build a try, thanks for the help!

[zealous hare]

when i change skin i cant no more see the geo

any fix?

Hey it says that my hollow Knight game is outdated but I just updated it

[rugged belfry]

hey so i have the game on steam, and im trying to mod it, its telling me i need the most stable version to run, which i do, how do i fix it?

[real jacinth]

first pin

[rugged belfry]

oh ok

[lyric quail]

Hello, uh. Could I get some help with the Multiplayer mod?
I think I've done everything right, but neither me or my friend can see ourselves move. Our characters just stand still by the bench.

[real jacinth]

.

especially the bottom paragraph

[lyric quail]

This'll work even with port forwarding, right? Thanks.

[real jacinth]

reconnecting? sure

most people do port forwarding wrong though.

so hamachi will be easier and more secure

[lyric quail]

Well, I don't want to have my friend go through getting Hamachi working.
I uh. Just wanna make sure.
The the IP I'm supposed to place in the 1st box is my Public IP, right? None of the guides I've seen really go over how it's done with port forwarding.

[real jacinth]

yes. it can't be your internal IP

getting hamachi working takes like 3 seconds

¯_(ツ)_/¯

and the port you forward has to be the default one

26950

[lyric quail]

It is.

[real jacinth]

and you'll want to make your IP static

[lyric quail]

Alright. I'm just afraid my friend won't be willing to do Multiplayer if he has to do all this Hamachi stuff.
So I'm doing Port Forwarding for him.
If uh I can't get it to work, I might try asking to use Hamachi.

Both of us should place my Public IP in the 1st box right? Even me if I'm the one hosting, yeah?

[real jacinth]

yes

[opal mirage]

I'm trying to open the mod installer but it keeps saying "This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again" but I am at the latest patch

[real jacinth]

[opal mirage]

Thank you

[lyric quail]

So uh. For some reason I've got it to work by having me, the host, keep the default numbers in the 1st box.
Not sure why, but it seems everything's working now, so
Thank you!

[fallow arrow]

Can you install and use the mod if you play on xbox game pass?

[devout violet]

Hello,i need help,the Mod installer doesnt work again! o_o It give me the same error

[limber egret]

No

[fallow arrow]

ok ty

[native ice]

What error did you have in the first place?

[faint jackal]

It usually says that hollow knight.exe doesn't work. I keep getting the same problem.

[wheat orchid]

Can you screenshot this error

[faint jackal]

Can you remind me how to screen shot?

[real jacinth]

google

[faint jackal]

The problem is if you download modinstaller, the only way to get hollow knight to work again is to uninstall and reinstall it.

[wheat orchid]

Show the error first?

[real jacinth]

well that's just not true

[wheat orchid]

Yeah

[faint jackal]

Give me a sec, I'm about have way done with reinstalling.

[balmy plover]

hey guys, i reinstalled the needed version of hollow knight, but when i open it, an error called il2cpp pops up

[real jacinth]

show it

and what is the "needed" version to you

what number

what OS are you on?

where do you have HK from?

[balmy plover]

1.4.3.2

[real jacinth]

need more context

[balmy plover]

i have from steam

this appears

[wheat orchid]

Try running the game from steam

[balmy plover]

ok

[real jacinth]

your steam appid file is also misnamed

[desert wadi]

Is there a way to use mods on 1.5.68.11808?

[native ice]

It seems like the pathing is also off

[real jacinth]

this is also a copy in another location

not a steam path

[balmy plover]

so, whats the solution

[native ice]

Nop, you can downpatch tho. Check the first pin

[wheat orchid]

No, look in the pins for how to revert to 1.4.3.2

[limber egret]

No, check the first pin

[real jacinth]

what did you exactly do to get this game version here

[desert wadi]

alright then

[real jacinth]

since this is not a steam location. so you've done some other stuff

[balmy plover]

what u said in the pinned comment

installed another version, downpatched it

in the 2nd method

[real jacinth]

but that applies to your steam install

[balmy plover]

i think so

[balmy plover]

?

[real jacinth]

you need to better explain what your screenshot is

[wheat orchid]

What did you do to put the hollow knight folder in that position

[real jacinth]

b/c to my eyes, that's not a real install

[balmy plover]

and now

[lilac trench]

Heya, I got a problem when trying to install QoL

It gives me that error, I have followed previous steps already, reset my modinstaller etc

[real jacinth]

what is "that error"

[lilac trench]

Ye pulling Sc hold on

This one

it says "Download completed" first and then afterwards sends this through

and QoL is not installed after that

[real jacinth]

solution is in pins

[lilac trench]

did that

didnt work

[real jacinth]

.

you did this one?

there's more than 1 pin

[balmy plover]

?

[real jacinth]

your screenshot says nothing

where is your steam version installed?

your first screenshot has a steam_appid file in it..... why

that's not a default steam thing

your game is also in a "new folder (2)"

again... not a steam thing

[balmy plover]

because i moved it to there

[real jacinth]

We have no idea what you have actually done

[static rune]

Im trying to downpatch the game and speedrun.com has the command for 1.4.2.4 but the pin says i need 1.4.3.2 where can i fing the command for that?

[real jacinth]

beta options

[static rune]

find*

[real jacinth]

in steam

[balmy plover]

ill try to do everything again then

[real jacinth]

yeah. thievery isn't tolerated

[static rune]

Thanks

[real jacinth]

especially in the dev's official discord

kinda weirdchamp to complain about that

especially here

[novel bronze]

Lmfao

[native ice]

lmao

[wheat orchid]

Some people smh

[lilac trench]

Yeah I did this, QoL now did install but its now doing this with CustomKnight

[novel bronze]

Some people are so incredibly sad

Will be any news of 1.5 modinstaller?

[native ice]

Not yet, but even if there was mods won't be up-to-date. If you haven't already you can downpatch by following the first pinned message

[real jacinth]

doing what? is the error the same? is it different? what does it say

[lilac trench]

same error

[real jacinth]

a license error?

[novel bronze]

So downpatching to 1432 should keep my savefile save ?

[real jacinth]

yes

[native ice]

If you wanna be safe you can make a back up though

[real jacinth]

saves are not in the same place as game files

[novel bronze]

Ok

Uhm guys, really stupid question ha-ha... I'm trying to find the mod installer anyone knows where i can get it

Thanks, i didn't see.

didnt see at first, will look again thx

I think u have to do back ups

[native ice]

You should always back up your saves before doing anything to your game in general.

But patching between 1.4 and 1.5 shouldn't affect your game

[novel bronze]

Ok thx

[wide epoch]

Hello. please tell me how can i make my mod? I want to slightly increase the number of slots for charms. And I also want to slightly reduce the number of cells that charms take.

For some unknown reason, I cannot start the game with mods from the Internet. I will assume that it is the version of the game, but I do not know for sure.

[pliant lantern]

You can accomplish that from save-editing iirc.
If you want to make a mod for it, check the pins of #modding-development

[amber tartan]

i installed the controller virbration mod thing and the r1 button made the control vibrate manually but when i next loaded the game up it stopped happening any reason why this happened?

[native ice]

Are mod names still appearing in the top left of your pause menu/main menu?

[amber tartan]

yea the other mods work

[native ice]

Hmm, I'm not familiar with a controller vibration mod. Did you check the readme of it? Maybe try messing with it's configuration?

[amber tartan]

no i havent tried that yet ill give it a bash

[desert wadi]

so i managed to downpatch HK so i tried installing more mods, but idk how to get this one to work

[real jacinth]

read the readme for it

there's more complicated install instructions for that one

[desert wadi]

There is no readme.

I checked.

[gloomy coral]

Check the pins for readme docs

[novel bronze]

Im wondering, are there any fixes around for controllers not working on 1.5 besides reverting to 1.4?

[real jacinth]

check your steam controller settings, or use a controller to keyboard mapping program

Oh so those are all of them. Damn, thought there might be something else i dont know about. Thanks!

[native ice]

mmmm

I think you have to go to the "Game Files" path and then do something with the "hollow_knight.app" I'm not too familiar with mac

[gloomy coral]

What's the issue?

[urban dock]

i went there but i couldnt find the managed folder after that

Im trying to find the mods folder to delete it

[gloomy coral]

Why do you want managed folder?

Why do you want to delete it

[urban dock]

so modding api will reinstall its out of date

[gloomy coral]

Click the orange box next to installed to update the modding api

[urban dock]

so i redownloaded mods now and its up to date but it says this now on opening

[gloomy coral]

Screenshot

[gloomy coral]

This is 1.4?

[urban dock]

i believe so

[gloomy coral]

From steam verify Integrity then try opening the game

[urban dock]

if i do that and open it mods arent there how do i checkk

check*

[gloomy coral]

Did the game open?

[urban dock]

yes

when i validate files

[gloomy coral]

Now close the game and open the installer

And press orange button near installed

[urban dock]

ok ill try

[native ice]

Correct me if im mistaken, but I thought he was supposed to do this after downpatching#archived-modding-help message

[urban dock]

i tried

i couldnt find the folder

[gloomy coral]

Did the game open now?

I actually don't know whats the reasoning behind deleting the assembly c-sharp

[gloomy coral]

If you really wanna do it get to hollow knight .app, right click and open package contents then go to resources/data/managed and delete stuff

[brazen pasture]

try running this

it should start the game

[urban dock]

it wont let me run it

[brazen pasture]

do you know how to use a terminal ?

[urban dock]

yes

it doesnt run

it says it doenst have permissions

[brazen pasture]

open the terminal and run this in it
"chmod +x ./starthk.command"

assuming you have navigated to the folder containing starthk.command

then try opening it

[urban dock]

no such file or directory

[brazen pasture]

alternatively just see if running this in terminal starts your game
~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS/Hollow\ Knight

[gloomy coral]

How did TC mess it up so you have to run HK using terminal 🥴

[urban dock]

no such file or directory

[brazen pasture]

do you know the path to your hollow_knight.app ?

[urban dock]

yes

[brazen pasture]

does it match the one i typed ?

[urban dock]

yes

[brazen pasture]

navigate to it using finder and click open package contents on the hollow_knight.app and send a screenshot

[urban dock]

ive had them before i dont understand why its so hard this time

[brazen pasture]

and inside MacOS ?

[brazen pasture]

just double click the hollow_knight

does that start a terminal and then the game ?

yes but it instantly quit out

[brazen pasture]

by any chance do you have an M1 mac ?

[urban dock]

i have the pro 13 inch with touchbar

[gloomy coral]

On top left there's a apple logo click that, then about this mac and screenshot

[brazen pasture]

apparently its a steam/mac thing , multiple threads online about this

[brazen pasture]

in case this is M1 based (i'm not super up to date on that info) , 1.5 is known to have issues with it.

AFAIK, you'd need to down patch to 1.4.3.2 , not just switch to the beta

[urban dock]

i gave up cause i dont have enough space to downpatch

Are they planning on updating it for 1.5?

[brazen pasture]

i mean if space is the issue you could always backup your saves and uninstall the current install of HK

[spiral condor]

how should i go about making mods for hollow knight?

[brazen pasture]

check the pins in #archived-modding-development

[slim mountain]

Can I just use sprite folders from google drive to dump on SpritePacker?

[viral breach]

Hey guys, I'm trying to install the hollow twitch mod, but whenever I install the mod hollow knight won't run until I reinstall it, could anyone help?

[stable hornet]

the modinstaller says that it wants the newest patch even though it is the newest patch of hk

[slim mountain]

check pinned msg

[stable hornet]

which>?

[slim mountain]

newest one

HK recently got updated

and mods are not

[stable hornet]

sick

i'm going to

undo that

[slim mountain]

yeah if you want to run with mods

[nimble hazel]

hey

[lime gulch]

hey

[balmy plover]

hello, i need a lot of help, i did the installation method where I install, the depot, and the dotnet, and then put it in the cmd, although, after that, the game works correctly, without a problem, but my friend just cant join

[final sorrel]

help

[civic dune]

if you own the game on steam, go to the beta settings to set the game to 1.4 to make the game compatible with mods

[mystic rapids]

hii, im new at this and i downloaded the mod installer, but now i dont know how to open the mod manager again, how do i do it?

[native ice]

The mod installer is the mod manager, just run the modinstaller again

[mystic rapids]

if i run the mod installer again it says: Unhandled exception in the application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and try continue if you click Exit, the application will close inmediately.
Then, if i click Continue it shows this

[native ice]

Restart the installer and send a screenshot of the error instead please

[mystic rapids]

ok, but it wont be English, i speak Spanish

[native ice]

That should be fine

Hey guys I just started modding the game yesterday, it was working fine yesterday and this morning but I came back later today and now when I try to use the mods the game can't load any of my save files

[native ice]

Can you elaborate? Does it just not launch the saves? Does it crash? Did you install any new mods?

[rocky kettle]

When I click start and go to the select game screen, all of the slots are blank for a few seconds and then say "loading..." indefinetly

[native ice]

Oh okay, check the pinned messages

[rocky kettle]

Ok cool it's working now

[silent patio]

idk what to do every time i try to download a mod this appears

[native ice]

Did you make sure your modinstaller has the correct file path, and did you try running it as administrator?

[silent patio]

what would be the correct path? and ill try again as administrator

[native ice]

The correct path would be, for steam, "steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight" make sure you don't go past the "Hollow Knight" folder or anything

The installer probably wouldn't work if it wasn't at the right path but I'm not exactly sure what that error means so those were my two guesses

[silent patio]

ok thank you ill try it now

[abstract bison]

after installing mods whenever I tried to reopen the games it would just show this

[native ice]

Did you downpatch before installing mods? The latest update broke modding stuff, you can find more instructions in the pins

I havent Ill check thank you

[silent patio]

I tried again and it still didnt work for me

[pliant lantern]

Also make sure that you're not running ModInstaller.exe from your Downloads folder.
It should be on your Desktop

[silent patio]

it is

[native ice]

Hmm maybe a screenshot of the Managed folder?

[pliant lantern]

• Reboot your computer (in case the file is stuck as "in use" by something), then
• Right-Click ModInstaller, and use `Run as Administrator"

[silent patio]

this?

[native ice]

Oh well thats odd

open hollow_knight_data and then managed

[native ice]

Uhh I'm wondering if maybe that xml file isn't supposed to be there but I'm worried about telling you to delete it

It is weird there's a zipped "Modding Api" in your hollow knight folder

[silent patio]

im more worried lol i have no idea what im doing

[native ice]

Well gimme a minute, I haven't downpatched yet but I'm gonna try and quickly compare my folder to yours
