#

ok

#

thank you

gloomy coral
#

Assembly c-sharp.xml is always there

#

Not sure where the .XML went tho

#

Cus they have file extension open

native ice
#

huh

gloomy coral
#

Try using modinstaller 2 from the pins

silent patio
#

that would be pin number 2 starting from the top?

gloomy coral
#

5

#

Actually

silent patio
#

ok thank you

native ice
#

The one labelled "Mac" with an attached file called "Modinstaller.zip"

silent patio
#

ah yes just did

#

i have a windows btw not a mac

wheat orchid
#

Then pin 7

silent patio
#

ok ill try that

wheat orchid
#

The one for windows

native ice
#

Is pin 7 modinstaller 2?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

#

Why else would it be there

native ice
wheat orchid
#

Not exactly a good reason to keep around old mod installers

silent patio
#

ill start the install for this thing 👍

native ice
#

Make sure you move it out of downloads

silent patio
#

should i extract instead?

#

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh nvm

#

i give up

keen radish
#

click mroe info and run anyway

silent patio
#

oh ok

#

ill try installing a mod now

wheat orchid
#

Make sure you install the ModdingApi

native ice
wheat orchid
#

Modcommon isn’t required

silent patio
#

how do i enable those?

native ice
#

search for them

wheat orchid
#

Click the install box next to them

#

Does mod installer 2 auto download dependencies

native ice
#

Does mod common download automatically on mods that require it for modinstaller 2?

#

Ah okay

silent patio
native ice
#

Yea, now just pick a simple mod

#

or any mod

silent patio
#

ill try running the game to see if it worked or should i pick a different mod that would be easier to notice?

native ice
#

Custom Knight works, it'll still show up in the top left of the main menu, and I'm not sure but it might have the proper ui in the pause menu in-game, though you needa get an actual skin to actually change it

silent patio
#

how would and could i get the changeable skins?

native ice
#

There's a short tutorial video in the pins, as well as a google drive with most the public skins

silent patio
native ice
#

No problem, sorry that took a while

#

Enjoy mods

silent patio
#

thank you i will

gloomy coral
# silent patio

Btw putibg modinstaller in download folder isn't a good idea

#

Download folder have restrictions

silent patio
#

ok i moved it to desktop should i move it to where hollow knights folder is?

native ice
#

No, keep it on your desktop

humble vine
#

anyone know which custom knight mod this is

native ice
#

You mean skin? I think it's "Daughter of Hallownest"

rocky quiver
#

yeah it's definitely daughter of hallownest

humble vine
#

anyone got the orignal hp bar

native ice
humble vine
#

i deleted them and i don't know how to get them back so

native ice
#

Deleted the modinstaller or the hpbar?

humble vine
#

I am trying to figure out what is causing this so I thought the fact I removed the default health bar could be it but I guess not

neon marten
#

Ah. Check the last pin

humble vine
#

oh ok

devout crater
#

debug mod is stuck

native ice
#

Stuck how?

devout crater
#

well i cant't select anything in the debug menu

native ice
#

Was it working earlier?

fair briar
#

remove MoreSaves

devout crater
#

it was working last night after you helped me before

fair briar
#

do you have MoreSaves

#

if so, remove it

devout crater
#

um im not the greatest with computers so you will have to explain what more saves is

native ice
#

It's a mod

#

That gives you more save slots

#

And causes problems with other mods sometimes

devout crater
#

i don't have it

native ice
#

Can you post a screenshot of your pause menu/main menu then

devout crater
native ice
#

And none of the ui prompts are working?

devout crater
#

well none of the cheats or item drop down menus

#

why is mod installer so glitchy all of a sudden

pliant lantern
#

Mod Installer shouldn't be "glitchy" O.o

pliant lantern
fair briar
#

Remove modconsole

#

Wait no i might have read modcommon as modconsole

devout crater
#

i uninstalled my game so going to try reactivating the modding api after see if that jolts things i am also playing on a five year old computer so that might be a factor

pliant lantern
#

For future reference, you should never need to uninstall. "Verify Integrity" will go make sure that you installed files aren't messed up.

devout crater
#

well i think debug mod is broken because it is not responing even the key bindings wont respond

modern meadow
#

mod not working, getting this error when trying to reinstall

pliant lantern

nevermind its working now

ohh

native ice
#

Mmm I love it when problems magically fix themselves

mint crown
#

hi is the mod installer for hollow knight updated yet for 1.5

native ice
mint crown
#

ok

#

ill just wait

native ice
# mint crown ill just wait

That's a poor choice, aside from waiting for the installer you're also waiting for mods to be updated, many of which may take years or never be updated

mint crown
#

oj

#

*oh

#

hm

native ice
#

It's very easy to downpatch, it takes like 4 clicks and a bit of waiting

neon marten
native ice
#

Oh interesting, for some reason it didn't cross my mind that people other than the author could update the mods lmao

haughty quiver
#

So do none of the mods work for 1.5 currently?

neon marten
haughty quiver
#

Oh

#

Sed

#

Also I noticed that when I start GPZ in god home, I don't start lying on the ground but instead in a looking down stance?

#

It happened once or twice, lemme see if I can replicate it

neon marten
#

wierd

haughty quiver
#

Yep happened again

#

Wtf

#

I'll send a screenshot

native ice
haughty quiver
#

Oh

#

But I;m not standing up straight either

#

Almost in a leaning forward stance

native ice
#

Ah

haughty quiver
#

Is it a bug?

native ice
#

Probably

haughty quiver
#

Dang missed the screenshot

haughty quiver

haughty quiver
#

Nop not that

This happens right after I enter, before he falls down and the adjectives come up

I downloaded Hollow Knight, I changed it to version 1.4.3.2 which is compatible with modding, and I downloaded the mod installer, but it keeps saying this:

native ice
# novel bronze

To fix this you need to reset the mod installer, then make sure it leads to the correct path when you start it again, There's a guide on resetting the mod installer in the bottom paragraph of this pinned message #archived-modding-help message

Aha thank you so much!

It's working now! :D

how do i downpatch on mac i tried to download the thing but it didn't work for mac

long latch

yes i went to the link and tried to download where it said here and it didn't work

native ice

Oh wait, does it give you an os error when running from steam?

long latch
#

yep

native ice
long latch
#

it says i do not have appropriate access privlages

native ice
#

As in you aren't the administrator on the device?

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

#

thats the message

I'm not too familiar with Mac, but can you do what it says there

#

nvm

native ice
#

I'm really not sure

#

did you open all the drop downs? specifically more info and openwith?

long latch
#

yep it didn't matter

#

are the mods gonna be updated soon ordoes it take a while

#

because if its like a week or two i could just waitit out

native ice
#

Unknown, weeks to months.

#

Gimme a second

#

Do you know what the terminal is on mac?

long latch
#

yep

#

i have it open

native ice
fair briar

its the same but manually

#

i could run my game its just im trying to downpatch so i could use the mods

fair briar

dense shuttleBOT
native ice
#

I thought it wasn't launching? I believe downpatching doesn't always fix that

fair briar
#

ofcourse it does

#

it cant run the game if everything is 1.5 exept the api

long latch
#

the guide for downpatching didn't work because the thing didn't work

fair briar
#

"the thing"

long latch
#

the thing that i download when it says here

native ice
#

I thought some people were having the same OS Error even if they followed the downpatch instructions

the depot downpatcher didn't work i downloaded but it didn't open

You can use beta options

after you have done what it says it wont ask you to update

This keeps happening whenever I try to use modinstaller and the only way to fix it is to verify the game files which deletes my mods. The loading doesn't stop. Any suggestions?

#

thanks

novel bronze
#

thank you so much it worked

long latch
#

is there a way to downpatch not using depot downpatcher

#

for mac

old jewel
#

Steam has the public beta that's the downpatch

long latch
#

i got no clue what that means im fucking stupid

gaunt cedar
#

I finally got it working, thanks guys

now i can't even open it using terminal or anything

dense shuttleBOT
fair briar
#

read

#

it

properly

I have one question with this:
Does the part Mac users only count for mac users that have GoG, or also for steam users?
If it only counts for GoG mac users, please change it so it is apparent that its only for GoG users.
(Sry for the ping but i'm afraid you won't see it.)

Hi, im trying to download the mod installer but I can't because im in 1.5. I set it to the previous beta, but it won't let me play now without updating. Anyone knows what to do?

vernal rain
#

after setting the beta branch, steam will update the files to those of the selected beta branch, in your case it will update from 1.5 to 1432, so 'updating' is fine

undone pecan
#

Ohhh I though it'd update to 1.5 again, thanks :D

I'm trying to make a new game with Randomizer 3, but every time I click start, Hollow Knight just stops responding and crashes. I've tried using different settings but it just keeps crashing whenever I try to create the game. I'm using 1.4 and I have QOL and Benchwarp enabled

#

Does anyone know a potential fix?

ivory aurora
#

Do you have all required mods

wispy valley
#

yes, I have Serecore and the modding API

real jacinth
#

And modcommon and vasi?

wispy valley
#

yes

real jacinth
#

Are you using any other mods?

wispy valley
#

Ive created a save file with randomizer 3 before, and it just stopped working now

#

QOL, Benchwarp, Debug

real jacinth
#

Should probably just screenshot your new save file options screen

wispy valley
#

ok gimmie a sec

real jacinth
#

get rid of moresaves as a start

#

how long are you waiting when you're starting randomization?

#

sometimes it can take a bit to run the logic, especially if your pc is a bit older

wispy valley
#

Nevermind, I spammed the disable and enable option a bunch and for some reason its working now. Thanks though

novel bronze

Hi, how are you?, so I'm in trouble because when I run the mod maneger v2, after doing the walkthrough correctly, my game when I start it appears the knight's head with an exclamation and the game closes and for me to be able to play I have to check the integrity of the files for the game to work normally, does anyone have a solution for me to be able to use the maneger mod?

real jacinth
#

first pin

novel bronze
#

ok

novel bronze
real jacinth
#

awhile

vernal rain
#

when it's ready, so TBA

real jacinth
#

conservatively..... a month

#

the API is not the problem. the issue is that all mods need to be evaluated individually too. and mod creation is decentralized

novel bronze
#

it can take weeks to months right?

real jacinth
#

the API is pretty much ready to go.

#

but no mods have really been updated.

#

the underlying infrastructure of the game is super different now

novel bronze
ivory aurora
#

What does decentralized mean?

real jacinth
#

before with new patches, an API update was enough

#

but now, it's not

#

they basically changed engines

#

for....reasons

ivory aurora
#

Updated, no?

real jacinth
#

decentralized means there's no central controlling structure

ivory aurora
#

I thought they just went from 2017's to 2020's

real jacinth
#

people make their own mods

#

so it's up to them to update their mods

#

there's no project manager

ivory aurora
#

Yeah, makes sense

real jacinth
#

there's nobody saying "update this now and here's your timeline."

I think so

real jacinth

get rid of that

Does it break everthing

real jacinth

interferes with UIs

zinc portal
#

Perfect!

#

Thanks!

#

One quenstion

#

Is more saves even usable at all then

real jacinth

if you don't use any mods with UI elements, sure

you can also just manage your save files yourself

and not need moresaves

silent patio
#

does this mod really make it able to play with more people? how does it work?

fair briar
#

yes, but i would recommend HKMP, a better multiplayer mod

#

lemme link it

silent patio
#

ok thanks and would the multiplayer be online or local?

fair briar
#

online

silent patio
#

ok cool thanks

fair briar
#

local is possible but harder

silent patio
#

oh ok good to know thank you

fair briar
astral sierra
#

btw, how is that multiplayer mod?
I know a while back there was one, but the interacting with enemies and the world was kind of...disjointed(?)
Is it more of an actual fully 2 player experience?

fair briar
#

HKMP is the best multiplayer mod yet

stone light
#

every time I try to open the game I get this error message

west gale
stone light
#

I have tried all trouble shooting solutions

west gale
#

whenever i try to download mod installer that warning shows up

#

even thought hollow knight is updated?

stone light
#

I deleted all my mods for the update and have uninstalled the game

fair briar
real jacinth
#

you have to launch mac through terminal

#

and mods don't work on 1.5

#

you have to follow first pin

stone light
#

I did

fair briar
stone light
#

that didn't work so instead I deleted all my mods and got back my original assemblyc-sharp

real jacinth
#

on what patch

stone light
#

and the game still won't run even without mods

#

1.15

real jacinth
#

by verifying integrity?

#

did you then try to launch through terminal?

#

~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS/Hollow\ Knight

#

with this

stone light
#

I'll try that

fair briar
silent patio
#

ok thank you i just did what the page said to do and i think everything is working fine ill run the game soon to see if everything is fine

#

also how many mods is too much? like will my pc blow up if i turn too many on?

real jacinth
#

no.

#

but if you have too many. the game may not work

#

or some may conflict with each other

silent patio
#

ok cool thank you

real jacinth
#

but your PC won't "blow up"

silent patio
#

lol i know not literally

astral sierra
#

Ah, I see...
interesting.
Thanks for the info.
Might put it off for now, until the enemy sync gets more expansive with what it covers, but definitely will be keeping an eye on it
I wonder if it'd work with item rando?

stone light
#

i verified integrity and tried copying that into the terminal but it says command not found

fair briar
#

but i think multiworld rando works with HKMP, if you mean that

astral sierra
#

I ought to look into multiworld...
But for the former, how do the items work with that? Do you need to pick up your own instance of it, or do both players get the check when one picks it up?

#

(I apologize btw for asking a million questions, I don't know where to find the information otherwise ^^;)

fair briar
#

like i said, i dont know much about it, i think DwarfWoot knows a bit about it. You can also try asking in #randomizer, but idk if you can go there with questions

#

nice thanks

real jacinth
#

multiworld randomizes items across all players

#

so player 1 could find an item from player 2's world

#

so they pick it up, it's given to player 2

#

they can also find their own items

#

everyone's pick up instances in their world is their own, but you might have to wait for another player to find one of your items in their game for you to progress

#

so like.... fury of the fallen. both players go to it in their world.... player 1 may find Dash for player 2. and player 2 might pick up some geo for themselves

gray cipher
#

are teh .json files the ones that have the actual game save in them? or should i save all the .dat and .bak files too if im trying to backup my saves

real jacinth
#

userX.dat are the saves

#

.bak files are backups

#

.jsons are decrypted save files for editing with QoL

gray cipher
#

im getting whatever the fuck this is so im gonna try to uninstall and reinstall but i want to save my files, verify integrity and restarting did not help

gray cipher
real jacinth
#

Mac is kinda f'd right now. if you have certain hardware, you can't play the game anymore without other downpatching methods

astral sierra
#

Oh, I do know how multiworlds work, I've seen them done before in ALTTP
I was more asking for item rando on a single world with multiplayer mod
Mostly because I play with a friend...who sometimes likes to go stubbornly try to do some stupidly hard out of logic checks (that may or may not be possible) for ages, and it'd be cool if I could go make progress in a way that benefits us both instead of leaving him with a bunch of catch up to do >>;

stone light
real jacinth
#

multiplayer mod just shows other people's position

gray cipher
real jacinth
#

if you use randomizer yourself, it does nothing to the other people's stuff

brazen pasture
real jacinth
#

you could both use the same randomizer seed and "co-op" the seed in that way

gray cipher
real jacinth
#

open a terminal instance from desktop

#

then run that command

astral sierra
#

Ah darn, that's a shame.

That said, I would be interested in multiworld as well, that'd be fun. I don't believe I've seen it on the modloader though, where would one go about finding how and where to set it up?

stone light
#

you can do that on mac?

#

okay

brazen pasture

hello, I was trying on some mods the other day and this happened, it only happens when I am on modded(if I go the game back to unmodded it stops happening), I have tried removing all mods and it is still happening, so it is probably an API bug.

having mac users run this in their own terminal should create a hk.command on desktop with the correct permissions

cd ~/Desktop && echo "~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS/*" > hk.command && chmod +x hk.command

To use the debug mod do I need to download the debug mod api and the debug mod on modinstaller?

If you use the right one

You just need to install 1

This one worked for me as well

I already have that

The modinstaller is working for other mods too

just not debug mod

Then it should just do both at the same time, at least for me.

Would the modding API work on the 32-bit 1.4.3.2 beta?

well what happens is that when I launch the game on the beta the title screen does not load
the game doesn't freeze or crash, the title screen just does not appear

how do you change ur version to play mods

dense shuttleBOT

#

from my previous experience with modding API it replaces the team cherry logo and autosave warning with a loading bar

#

there is no loading bar if you launch on the beta
title screen does not appear
the cursor works fine
Steam even detects you're playing the game and gives you the steam community prompt
the game just sticks you in black screen purgatory

i installed grassy knight because I wanted to try to cut all the grass in the game, but gave up. disabling the mod doesn't get rid of the counter by the geo. I tried uninstalling as well, but that didn't work either. how do I get rid of grassy knight?

#

in mods is it necessary to have modding API enabled? whats it for?

fresh silo
#

getting the mods to work i assume

ah ok thanks

I would just uninstall the mod completely.

And reinstall it later

i did. the counter is still there

Have you checked everywhere it could be?

Or

oh yeah, the .dll is still there. it's odd that modinstaller didn't get rid of it. i'll try deleting it

oh I have an error message,
I'll check my modlog.txt

fresh silo
#

ok

fair briar
# steep briar do we know when it will?

No, as every mod needs to be updated, and many mods have been discontinued and may never be updated to 1.5.
Beware, that 1.4 support will always remain, and those mods will always still be playable on 1.4

vernal rain
fresh silo
#

ok but just saying it does not seem to work on the 1.4 32-bit compatible beta

fair briar
#

Well Redfrog made an entire pr for different patch support, why would it be removed

fresh silo
#

the title screen does not load on the beta

#

at least for me

fair briar
#

Then there is something wrong with the way you went to 1.4

fresh silo
#

i used steam public beta

fair briar
#

Go to beta, verify integrity, launch modinstaller

#

Try that

fresh silo
#

i did that like twice

fair briar
#

Also verify integrity?

fresh silo
#

ill try it again

fair briar
#

Which mods do you have?

novel bronze
fair briar
#

Are you sure you are on 1.4?
To check this, verify integrity and launch hk without open the modinstaller

fresh silo
#

yes

#

it works if modinstaller is not enabled

#

if I press the "enable Modding API" button, no matter what, it will not load

#

even if every mod is disabled

fair briar
#

Verify integrity, reset the installer, delete the installer download it again, launch the installer

#

Instructions for resetting are in pins

fresh silo
#

i did

fair briar

I believe theres aa bat file somewhere

You can’t heal using soul with HollowPoint, instead you heal when you do lots of damage without getting hit. If you if it is actually healing you then something is off, try launching the mod on a save that existed before you installed the mod

what does the verify do

neon marten
#

It checks if game files are incorrect

long latch
#

native ice

You run the installer and install the mods again

i was fighting Ultimatum Radiance, and sometimes, i deal damage to her just by touching her, what is that glitch and how to prevent it from happening ?

neon marten
#

That doesn’t sound like something a mod does

novel bronze
#

like she takes a lot of damage while i was touching her

#

it was like i was dealing contact damage to her

#

lemme record a vid for you

#

it happens so often

neon marten
#

Do you have mods on?

native ice
#

Ultimatum Radiance is a mod

neon marten
#

Ah

#

Nevermind

#

Then IDK I never used the mod
