and also.... don't have like 500 skins
only have 1 or 2
if you put in a ton, it's going to affect performance
for testing custom knight is it ok to just disable the other mods or should i make a backup and uninstall everything else?
also yea i only use one skin at a time
you can also turn preloading off in benchwarp
just disable the others, except modcommon
CK doesnt load all skins into memory, part of the reason why switching skins is slow is because it loads them from disk each time
it's still checking for all of them right? to put them in the UI
even if the images aren't loaded
once on game launch, yes
for older versions it even used to load all the icon.pngs so your earlier advice would have a much bigger impact i guess
it was a great idea, i want to bring it back in some form. maybe a single preview image of only the currently selected skin or something.
lasted just long enough for Fire to make a tutorial video about it so now we get questions on why they don't load
perfect timing
haha 
I'm sure it could be better optimized. Enemy rando stores all enemy data in memory when it's loaded. I find it hard to believe that customknight couldn't be optimized to show a few skin previews
ok doing some testing now with the skin i was using earlier. the amount of time before the freezes happen is seemingly random so i'll play for like an hour or so and see if it freezes, then try adding stuff. sound good to you guys?
well i'm doing away with the pause menu entirely in the version for 1.5 so that problem won't exist.
yep
alright cool
i am? i'm on an acer predator with like a shit ton of fan power and my computer is barely warm rn
incase it is a laptop, make sure to plug in power
it's also a laptop, so I just don't trust it.
power is plugged in and fan is on auto + coolboost
fair, but it is a ~gaming laptop~
jesus
i cannot game without the AC on, laptops are not trustworthy
mine can run fallout 4 at 60+ fps with like 200 mods
HK is also a resource hog
mostly CPU bottlenecks
it has no business being as awful as it is
but anyway
fallout 4 is also way better optimized with a AAA team behind it
people who know how to code
eh. all bethesda games are a dumpster fire to try to get running, let alone mod
fallout 4 requires several mods to run properly as it is
Hollow Knight won't start, just giving me this

Quick question. Is it possible to unbind commands in debug mod?
Help 
yes
How?
by changing the settings file. or just click the white circle and bind to a key you don't use
cheers
Does anyone know what to do about the screen I'm getting?

Does anyone know how I could make a new spell for the game?
Ah
Check the pins in #archived-modding-development
god. first thing i'm reenabling for testing is qol. not being able to skip text is so painful
is there any way of extracting the fov that the game uses?
there may be traces because its an unity perspective camera after all
Did you turn it on in the settings as you start the game?
Yea I turned every option to on
There should be a button that you can change to activate it
Screenshot the things you're turning on
I believe it's the screen where it select like regular/steel soul etc
But I might be mistaken
Let me restart it again
My mode select screen looks normal
It doesn't have anything for randomizer
Oh this time there was a button on the main menu screen?
Now it's flashing different areas of the game in the background, is that supposed to happen?
How do I make item rando work?
It's called Randomizer 3 (Item or Room) I think on here
Download Randomiser 3
Where is that at
On the mod installer
I only see Randomizer 3 (Item or Room)
Yes that's the one
I downloaded it, but it isn't working
When you say "isn't working" what do you mean?
I picked up an item in game and it wasn't random 
Also isn't showing up in the list of mods in the top left
Then it sounds like you don't have it
It showed up this time hol up
Did you download the other required mods?
But idk how to do it still
Start a new save file and the options should appear
Okay, I'll give it a shot
help please how do i fix this hollow knight is updated but it still pops up
I'm having the same issue

oh okay thank you i think ill wait until the mod installer is up to date ive only every used it for skins
how do I revert the file. Kinda new to computers
Revert what file?
the game file
You mean downpatch?
yeah
Are you on windows?
yes
Steam?
yes
thank you for the help
damn how long does it generally take for the mod installer to update to the latest version
Probably will be a couple weeks, but it might be a while for mods to be updated
k I'll just downpatch for now
I fixed the .net framework error from yesterdays problems. Now I have the modinstaller with all my mods but whenever i boot up hollow knight the mods don't appear, its vanilla, even though it should be modded. Any help?
Did you recently downpatch with mods installed?
By downpatch you mean go back to 1.4 from 1.5?
Yes
I deleted all the mods in that folder before doing it, then once i had the modinstaller redownloaded the mods back
You likely forgot to remove the moddingapi, anyways at the bottom of the first pin is a part “If mods still aren’t working” click the link there and follow those instructions
for the record im getting this same issue too on linux when using modinstaller. if i start the game with the controller (xbox) plugged in it doesnt detect it, and if i start the game without it plugged in then plug it in, the game crashes
going to try to use a mapping software to see if that works
Did you try messing with steams controller settings?
there is also a unix build of mapi that seems to fix controller issues
a bit, trying that now as well
Also, when you reply you can prompt out of @ing the original message, make sure to do that when bringing up old messages you weren’t apart of
im not sure what you mean
https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/tag/1.4.3.2-60
for controller issues on mac / linux try the unix zip here
thanks ill try that!
oh i think i see what you mean now
sorry
It’s all good, just don’t want to bother someone if you don’t need to
Anyone know if there's a way to mod HK on the Game Pass (PC) version? From what I've seen, it seems to be impossible since the normal methods use the steam mod folder.
No I don't think you can, if I'm not mistaken it's because the gamepass version has very tight restrictions on letting users and programs access the game files
I figured. I know how to access/modify the game files themselves, but I don't know enough about modding to do it manually.
Could probably do it manually then, not sure if it would cause problems or work tho
Can anyone tell me why the bosses appear invisible? I’ve had false knight and the moss charger be invisible but the first hornet fight wasn’t
What mods do you have on? I've heard of the Hollow Knight being invisible but not false knight and moss charger
All I have is custom knight, the health bar mod and that’s basically it
I did use HollowPoint at first but I turned it off because it messed with my skins
And when I had hollowpoint and fought false knight that’s when he was invisible
Hmm
Does it happen when you have custom knight disabled? And does it happen in a save other than the one you're using?
I only have one save
Can you try making a new save and rushing to false knight perhaps?
Yeah I’ll give it a go
hey this fixed my issue, thanks a lot!
someone should let GhostDog know in case she hasn't gotten it sorted yet
I believe she got it fixed
Hello, I am trying to play co op with a friends without hamachi. I've done every single step I've found on here ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/223710/discussions/0/828937420112841213/?l=portuguese), but when my friends types "connect <my static ip>:27015" in the console it keeps saying unexpected symbol '0' and ':'
(IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CRY OF FEAR, VISIT http://www.cry-of-fear.com/forum/ !!) The forums of Cry of Fear is fairly absent of users (including me) to assist players with their issues in CoF. You can only look up old threads of problems that you might have, otherwise trying to create a new thread will be ignored/never seen.
Uhh this is for cry of fear not hollow knight
Ah my friend is dumb, nvm
Are you looking to do HK multiplayer?
Yeah
He used that link, without realising its not hollow knight
it was the first link lol
What you'll want to do is download the mod installer from here (need to downpatch to ver 1.4.3.2 before you use the mod installer, guide in the first pinned message), then download both of you should download the "Multiplayer Client" mod, and the host should download the server version, then if you don't wanna use Hamachi I believe you'll need to portforward, thought it may work if you're on the same internet.

Thanks
Also there's a procedure for it in the pinned messages, if you have any problems let us know
Great as I was trying to reach the false knight to see if he was actually visible this time
The game decides to give me an infinite loading screen as I enter the room hes in
Unfortunate
The first time it happened to me I left it there to see if it would load and I spent 20 mins waiting
how do i find the hollow knight instalation path
On steam, go to the steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse > check the pathing to that folder. It should be something along the lines of Steam/steamapps/Common/Hollow Knight If you're directing the modinstaller to it, make sure you stop in the Hollow Knight Folder

Ah and one more question, does it matter which version of modinstaller you use?
You should use the latest version, if you have an older version it may not work
this ones the updated one right?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
That one is modinstaller 2 but yes it’s the most updated one
I can’t even check to see if the false knights invisible or not because the game keeps putting me in infinite loading screens when I go in different rooms
hmm that's odd
You can clearing out your mod settings, in case they are donked up.
With HK and Mod Installer closed, go to your Saves folder, and delete all of the .GlobalSettings.json and .GlobalSettings.json.bak files.
Note: this will reset any settings you may have put in mods, but sometimes it fixes odd bugs.
@sand basalt
The modding resources here are all in English, so it may be difficult to use mods.
You can find the resources pinned 📌 here.
You will need to be on the correct version of Hollow Knight (1.4.3.2), and download the installer from this link: https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe
update: i still have one more mod to test but i think mickely hit the nail on the head with the randomizer + bonfire mod conflict. haven't had any problems so far
definitely miss the extra geo from the bonfire mod tho lol
@native ice managed to get the false knight finally and like before, he was invisible
Did you try what dwarf said?
Just deleted them all so im about to test it
I did and once again it keeps getting stuck on a loading screen
I got into another room and the big enemy before false knight was invisible
At this point I’m just gonna give up for now, the loading screens annoying me too much

That's really unfortunate, perhaps try disabling custom knight
Just in case it is customknight causing this you could try disabling preloads for skins this will remove a lot of cutscene skins but should help with resource use. Though I don't imagine it would be a lot either way
It would be a setting in globalsettings.json called preloads
ok I need some help
does the old modinstaller not work anymore?
when i try to install it it says please update the game to the current stable patch
which it is
?pins the latest update is incompatible with mods, check the first pinned message
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
So I disabled customknight entirely and it loaded fine and had no invisible enemies
I don’t even have that many skins on customknight
It’s the only mod I wanted to use and it messes up things 
Hmmm, what skin were you using? Also can you check if it happens when you're on default skin but have the mod on
I wasn’t using another skin when I tried testing it to see if things went invisible
Just the plain default one
damn
It makes no sense how it was working fine a few days ago and now it starts acting weird
Hmmm, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling customknight, I doubt it'll work but who knows
- When you say "a few days ago", do you mean before the 1.5 patch was released?
- Have you fully rebooted your computer recently at all? (fully powered it down, or used the "restart" option; as opposed to using Sleep or Hibernate)
I get this while trying to install any mod. I've already downgraded my game version
Oops! I see something even deeper in the pins!
Wow customknight really does like giving me long loading screens
Uhh, I don't think there's a pin for that
Yea, the only part that matters is the bottom part I think
I haven't seen that one before
Does HK work?
HK works just fine
But for some reason, the correct folder keeps being called invalid when I select it as the designated install path
Does it not work just because my steam games are on my D drive?
Uhh, not sure if that's the problem. You made the path Steam/steamapps/Common/Hollow Knight and stopped there?
I’m atleast glad it wasn’t some other mod interfering with the enemies causing them to go invisible
I’m gonna try disabling preloads and see if that helps
I mean, I navigate directly to the folder in the mod loader by choosing "Change Default Install Path"
You stopped at the Hollow Knight folder? Didn't go to managed or anything?
You want to choose the folder that contains the hollow_knight.exe
so, the /Hollow Knight folder is correct
Is your Mod Installer on your desktop?
So like
That's LITERALLY where the exe file is. lmao
And the mod loader is being mean
Have you tried running it as Administrator?
I did, yeah
I completely uninstalled the loader following the directions, put the loader on my desktop and ran as admin
I still just get this anytime I try to install a mod
if I try to revert to unmodded, this happens
But the weirdest thing is that the game boots!!! It even has the mod api in the top left corner
So the loader thinks it can't find the game, but the game knows it's attached to the loader
When you click revert to unmodded that happens, I forgot what to do to fix it but you can just not click that and instead verify integrity
Can you close the installer and HK, then delete your /Mods folder?
To confirm, this folder: \common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
kk
Then do Verify Integrity in Steam
And when it's done, Launch the installer as Admin again
As admin from desktop?
Yeah
Thanks! I like Captain Toad wearing a mask in your avatar. He's very conscious of others.
is it this?
The top one is the settings file
It works now!
im a little confused on what to do now lol
Change it to false I think
for both preloads?
If this doesn’t work I’m just gonna ditch custom knight lol
I’ll just play with hollow point
Yeaaahh goodbye customknight
Yeah, but thank you for helping me 
i got an unhandled exception earlier but it didn't say "central directory corrupt" it said something about not being able to locate part of the path. i closed modinstaller and opened it again and it worked fine. not sure what was up tbh ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Certain mods work, most mods don't. No apparent rhyme or reason
There's several unhandled exception errors so it probably isn't applicable
I can tell if it'll work immediately because if it doesn't work, the download says 0mb/0mb and them instantly breaks
that is very weird. if you can't revert to vanilla through mod installer you might try making backups of your locallow/team cherry/hollow knight and steamapps/common/hollow knight folders, uninstalling the game and deleting both folders, then reinstalling the game and your mods via modinstaller (and you can copy over your mod settings files if you don't wanna do all the configs again)
Reinstalling the game won't uninstall all of the mod stuff, and you can just verify game integrity through steam and it will uninstall mods and won't touch your saves
in fact, there is another solution for the problem that modinstaller cannot detect game folder
just select the Hollow Knight folder where you installed it
But that's also not their main problem
that's why i said to delete both folders. removes all mod stuff, including files added by mods that are not replacements of vanilla files
no idea if it will help, but sometimes you've got a weird file some mod added that broke everything
Then verify integrity of game files using steam
for example, you installed the game at 'E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight', than just use the file browser ModInstaller provide and select the 'Hollow Knight' folder
If my central directory is corrupt, that's gotta mean something critical went wrong.
I am very confused about what step you think I'm stuck on, Jing. I know where my games are installed, lmao
They did that already
I appreciate the help, sorry if I came off as rude
Sorry if i didn't mention that this is for the "modinstaller cannot detect game folder" problem.
Quick question, did you make sure you have the most up to date installer, not sure if that's relevant but maybe
I searched "central director corrupt" in this channel. Tons of people have had the issue over the months, but I am not finding any solutions
I grabbed the loader that was linked in this channel like an hour ago by the bot?
Is that outdated?
No it's not that's fine
try to reset the ModInstaller
Yea that might be a good choice
To reset it, check the pins, on the second one down theres a .bat file that you can download and run
If you still cannot make it, just simply uninstall the game , install it again, download again ModInstaller, and then try to mod it using a new ModInstaller.exe downloaded.
I went into my appdata and removed the folders, deleted the mod folder, and verified the game files
now try again
is modinstaller on your desktop or somewhere else on your computer?
Desktop
ok. you might also verify that you can access the google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1lnjtSYMfRe1LyA_qSq2CoXKI6NRm_I-e
That shouldn’t be a problem
Plus using a browser is different
And not all mods are in there
In fact, a lot aren’t
alright cool. i'm trying to look through when other people have had this issue on the server
see what steps may help
Just gonna chock it up to "something really stupid is going wrong SOMEWHERE and it's probably just a single string of code, but I give up anyway"
Don't wanna spend my entire evening troubleshooting the dab mod
that's fair. i saw something about the mod installer putting an empty zip in the folder so you might check for that but i'm not seeing anyone saying "i did this and it worked" unfortunately
you could also try manual install ig
hi dumb question, is mod installer out for the new patch? if not is it planned on being ported to it?
not out yet, planned.
It’s in the work
there will be a 1.5 modding api.
alright awesome, feel free to take as much time as you awesome devs need to get it up and running
sorry if that came off sarcastic, im genuinely thankful for what an awesome modding community we ahve
hello can i get some help installing the mods ?
is anyone willing to hop into a vc to help me?
I can.
honestly, just look it up on yt, im not trying to be rude but its full of useful videos
I tried but i cant find this issue
What's the issue?
I gotchu.
oh, fair enough then

I installed the discord RPC mod but now my game just softlocks in the options when hitting escape
no way to go back in game
And when you remove it it works fine?
my hollow knight game doesnt start i think its got something with my modinstaller not starting up either how can i get rid of any mods in hollow knight
also im on mac
You can verify the integrity of the game files, go to Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity
ive allready done that and its done nothing to this
im uninstalling and reinstalling it now
where do i download gun mods?
use the mod installer and search for hollowpoint
It does but is there maybe a fix to make the rpc work?
check if you did whats in its readme
as that gives critical info
if you can't find the readme, theres a readme doc in pins
is the mod installer working yet
How do I display the current scene/room id on screen? I've seen it in one of skurry's streams, but I can't seem to find any setting or mod to do that. Would be kind of helpfull for room rando as I don't remember every single room with all exits and items yet.
Readme told me to download the sdk and that sdk made it softlock
then you likely did not do it properly
After removing the sdk it stopped softlocking but well the mod didn't work anymore
read it carefully
Where can I find the download to cracked hollow knight modinstaller
so, pirated
Now that I think about it yeah.
Also I can't buy the game I don't have or earn even a close amount of money to buy the game
I really want to
It seems like a fun game
I really want to experience the brought game rather than the pirated one
I'm sorry for playing the pirated version but it's the only way rn I can play hollow knight
i installed the benchwarp mod and went to the hive warp without breaking the little shell that its in and now my entire save is softlocked when i load in im just in a black void
also i cant even force the game to pause with the debug mod
heres screen shots
i also tried truning off all the mods but it didnt work
rip
Never seen anything like this
I've just locked my game by warping back to the last entrance while the pause menu was opened (note to self: don't do that). Apparently that freezes the menu, forcing you to Alt+F4 out of the game. Atleast restarting the game fixes that one
You might be able to save edit to put yourself on a different bench. Check the pins for both methods of save editing

im now trying to figure out how to manilay install the fix but i cant find where the save files are
If you're using the Multiplayer mod that's on Mod Installer, then see the "Multiplayer Procedures" pin for a rundown on it. Fireb0rn also has a tutorial on it.
Alternatively, you can use HKMP, which will probably be on the 1.5 Installer when it comes out, but until then you must manually install it: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
That github has a link to a support server, in case you have any questions about it, should you choose to use it.
That's just a normal dll right, you should be able to just put that in the mods folder of your game files, thats here

wdym?
while the game is open, no

Is there a mod that starts you with all the items?
debug
thx
when i did Hk mods for the first time i got onto the world and there was stuff all over the screen i didnt read them and i hit close but now i want to see what it was and i cant bring it back. can someone help?
what did you install
enemy randomizer and randomizer 2 then all the other mods that automatically download with them like QoL, modcommon, and serecore. i also got bench warp and debug
oh thanks
I was trying to get CustomKnight to work, but every time I try and click on the skin names it does nothing.
your folder structure is probably incorrect then
your skin folders need to match how the default one looks.
is there an updated program to view HK's sprites/animations on yet?
To view sprites, go to #art-discussion and see the pinned doc with all hk sprites
Well the animations are made of the sprites
But get GODump
And the krita plugin mentioned in i believe #modding-discussion
And view the animations
I suppose that works, thanks Ruttie
Does it give an error message?
Dont?
Click once then wait
Do this
Ignore the part about AU.exe, if it does not exist
Yes
Oh
Then delete it
the modinstaller works in windows 7 right?
should
@silent grove it should work in windows 7
well, definitely service pack 1
but i'm not sure about others
im getting this error (i know it´s in spanish but it says something like couldn´t load System.Runtime.InteropServices.OSPlatform' 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

also
make sure to downpatch to 1.4.3.2
right-click hollow knight, go to properties, betas, then pick 1.4.3.2 32-bit compability
yeah i saw that but there is nothing in %appdata%/local
oh wait

I have the 1.5.68.808 version
downpatch
but i can´t install mods
question, how do I get multiple hatchling skins to show up on the infinite hatchlings mod, I can’t figure it out
hey i just updated mi .net framework and works just fine, thank you so much!
I've downloaded mods before and it worked fine, I tried playing with mods just now but couldn't due to the update. I already down-patched and redownloaded all the mods from the google drive that I wanted to use, but when I open my mod installer its just blank. There's one button which is "Manually" which leads me to download mods again when clicked. I already did this and it says they were successfully downloaded, but its still just blank. Is there an easy fix that I missed or did I just mess up
reset modinstaller
from
pins
Reset your mod installer. The second pinned message has a downloadable .bat file that does it automatically, otherwise there's info on manually doing it down in the pins
do you get an error when you open it
yeah, an error in one of the pinned messages, I already tried the fix but its the same thing
I'll try this though, figured there was an easy answer I just missed, thanks

Skins need to into the Custom Knight folder, exactly like how the Default folder is
Hi, so im new on the mod thing, so I downloaded the mod installer and it's telling me I need the most recent stable version uuuuh idk what this means, do I have to wait for the mod installer to update or what
first pin
heyho^^ im new to hollow knight modding. i wanted to ask how the mods work together and what issues can occur? for exapmle if i use the item randomizer with the charm notch mod that gives you the charm nothes, or bonfire and class mod or class mod and a charm overhaul mod
hey I was looking at the first pin and I don't know what it means to "open a terminal" could someone help me with that?
Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
lol
i dont know if you mean fishter or me with that but i already googled mod conflicts etc in hollow knight and didnt found infos on that
fishter
mods that change the same systems can have issues working as intended
obviously
thought as much xD just wanted to clearify because it could have been that they have compability patches in each other or smth thx^^

is the modding api auto installed with the mod manager?
or do i have to do that manually?
It depends on which one you have
One of them does so automatically, the other it is listed as a mod
mine didn't have it listed so i assume it was auto installed
That checks out, then
okay, thanks!
There should be a button near the bottom that says either "enable all mods" or "disable all mods"
That button essentially installs the API
mine looks like this
this is the most recent file on nexus, running hollow knight on '1.4.3.2 - 32 bit compatibility'
Yeah, your API should be installed then
Nexus 
Though you got it from Nexus which isn't great. Hopefully it's okay.
We only endorse stuff from this discord. It may be the same as the one that we tell people to get here, it certainly looks the same.
But obviously there's a chance somebody just put a virus in it, so if you want to be super safe
yeah nexus is kinda ass, didn't really know this discord existed until like 10 minutes ago lol
I checked the sha1 and it was the same but still Nexus isn't the best place to go for mods
You can just get the one from the pins. But if it's working for you no need to change.
if it's the same i won't bother, but if it does have issues i'll uninstall
the main reason i wanted to get into modding this game was because of this(https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/14) mod since i have super low working memory and am bad at navigating spaces. Is there an equivalent or similar mod that isn't on nexus?
Idt there is but it's one of the rare mods that aren't a stripped/ripped version from this discord lol
oh just realized there was a whole drive of mods lol
You could see if either yourself or anybody else was able to get it working again? I don't know exactly what would be required but you could ask them for the project and see what needed to be done.
wdym?
I looked on the page and somebody was saying it wasn't working. I thought that might be why you were asking
oh i was more asking if there was a version on the discord(that worked)
I didn't want to use that mod specfically, just something that did a simialar thing. If the mod doesnt exist, id be willing to learn modding if there are tutorials, or commison someone to make it if not
This might be something you could just edit in your save files to give yourself all maps
Well it's more like i want something that expands as i go. I struggle with remebering spaces so the system fallen order has for example is really helpful for people with low working memory like me has
does modinstaller work yet?
yes. on 1432
1432?
the pinned comment explains how to downpatch your game
bro im dumb i dont understand your fancy words
older version
it's super easy, i started modding like 30 minutes ago and my dumb ass got it so you should be okay
read the first pin
you underestimate my stupidity
the hell is a beta acsess code
not needed
can u sent me the skin u are using there pls?
check the pins
yay lol
thank you guys
awww fuck i forgot cuz i got a new pc i gotta download everything again
Check the pins for the Skin Google Drives 
time to seartch foir that one skin
ok thx^^
If they are Zipped, then you can't
You can find a lot of skin preview vids on YouTube
ight, thanks
Or download, open, then delete if you don't like it
the ones by me are just shader recolors anyway.
ahh k
does transtrans require any other mods? I installed it but it didn't seem to do anything to my game
^i belive this is the mod that turns the tiktiks trans
It might need ModCommon. A lot of mods need it and don't actually list it.
Is 1.5 Mod compatible?

thanks found it
I have mod common and the mod api thing but transtrans still doesn’t work :/. It’s the only mod that says unknown in the version on start up, so maybe the mod installer version is corrupted somehow?
unknown just means there's no version number
which doesn't matter
if it's showing up on the title screen like that, that means it's loaded
once modding api 1.5 is ready, the developers of the mods should start updating their mods to make it compatible with 1.5

You'll need to run the game from terminal
Okay thx
I did the method (the Steam beta thing) described in the pinned and still don't have my mods working - is there anything else I need to do?
Did you do the "if mods still aren't working" part?
Nope, that did it - thanks!
does anyone have a godump of the death shade sprites?
i cant get the atlas to dump properly
why can't I be cured?
I assume that there's one in the pins of #art-discussion
What does this mean?
still no modding api right?
I'm trying to kill the glow but I can't heal
There's no mod installer for 1.5 currently, if that's what you mean
got it, thanks
Did you use Hollow Point in that save?
yes
but i am delete Hollow Point
Look through the pinned messages
for Hollow Point fix. Deleting the mod doesn't remove the change it makes.
i need it in the godump format and the spriteinfo file so that it can work with spritepacker
thanks
does anyone know what port number to use for multiplayer mod
You have to leave the default one if using the one on Mod Installer.
You might want to look into using HKMP instead though
why do i have to load enemy rando every time i get on
because it has to change alot of enemies and every enemy rando is different mobs replaced
Because it stores the enemy data in your RAM. Do you really want it to keep all that stored in RAM always?
does anyone know where the shroomal warrior noise is in the files?
hey! is the mod installer for 1.5 being worked on?
if so, how's progress going along?
whats the best way to edit player health? I thought it was the debug mod but I can't find a command that does it
save editing
I get this error whenever I try to disable a mod with ModInstaller2, any suggestions?
so i am trying to go back to unmodded and it says that i need to check my integrity of my game files but i did and it says that the file did not have good integrity but what do i need to do now?
If it said "Failed to verify 1 file" or something then that's correct
Try creating a folder labelled Disabled in your mod folder, or you can just not press disable and simply uninstall and reinstall whenever you want to turn off or on a mod. Also if your modinstaller is in the downloads folder still move it to your desktop
yo im trying to add the mod installer and it says i have the wrong version of the game is it because of the new patch?

Making the Disabled folder worked perfectly, thanks! I did move the Modinstaller folder into Program Files, if that's okay.
It might be okay but you should probably put it on your desktop

What's the mod installer link?
hey idk if this would fit here exactly but a while ago I was playing around installing and uninstalling mods on my game and somehow I glitched my healing so that I heal at an insanely fast rate, like, faster than quick focus fast. i tried uninstalling all of teh mods, the game itself, and modinstaller still didnt work.
also my healing is only broken on one of my saves
im trying to use tthe mod installer for the first time and
my game is definitely fully updated
Wait if you got that far, could you tell me the mod installer link?
or download thing?

Oh what version do I have to change it to? (I have the same problem)
HollowPoint does that, that information is stored in the Save data not the mod so uninstalling won't help. There's a fix in this pinned message #archived-modding-help message
Follow the instructions in the first pin, the correct version should be 1.4.3.2

how do I change grimmchild into carefree melody using debug mod without grimmchild's effects still being active? alternatively, is there another mod that does the same thing properly?
I think it may just be bugged, perhaps try the save editor instead, it may work better
alright, what variables do I change?
Hmm, lemme check. Also might be a good choice to set grimmchild to grimmchild 4 before trying to turn it into carefree
Maybe just try changing the "grimmChildLevel" to 5
that's what the debug mod already does. that's what makes grimmchild into carefree melody, sure, but there's still a relatively buggy grimmchild following me
what if I were to try and set my progress back to when brumm destroys the lantern and I have level 3 grimmchild?
Yea I'm aware, but it may help to do it with the game closed. Also, did you try changing it while grimmchild isn't equipped?
i did. I'll try that then.
I'm not sure how you would do that unless you just recently got grimmchild and want to load a backup. I think others had the same problem and tried changing it to grimmchild 3 and it didn't bring brumm back or something
i've created 2 files. one with grimmchild at level 5, and one with it at level 3 and every variable relating to the grimm troupe having been changed to fit a possible banishment
Oh yea that might work
yep, I can access NKG. I should have fake-obtained brumm's flame, so this might work
it worked. I banished the grimm troupe and got a functioning carefree melody. the debug mod says my grimmchild is at 5, so everything should have checked out. thanks!
Nice
can someone help me, when i want to put the Qol mod it says failed to load check modlo.txt
You're probably missing a dependency, I'm not sure which one but I think it's "Vasi" just download it from the installer
i already have all mods downoaded i will enable it
i will see
ay it worked
thanks

So i wanted to install Custom Knight and i get this error
and before you say go to pin, i already reset my Mod Installer
how'd you get it to work? and how did you get the bug if you dont mind me asking.
if it was rapid switching, thats a known issue
else i'd like to know if there's any more causes for it
Why does Mod Installer hate Custom Knight recently 
Can you post a screenshot of your /Mods folder?
Fwiw Dandy, I don't blame you for Mod Installer being wonky with it. This feels like the Vasi issue-- it's just having some weird issues getting certain mods for some reason
can someone please post a good website to install the mod installer I'm having some trouble.
Well that's not right. Are you running Mod Installer from your desktop?
?i it is here
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
thx
- If it's not already there, move Mod Installer to Desktop.
- Delete your current Mods folder
- run Mod Installer as Administrator
- then try installing mods again
This seems like modCommon didn't get downloaded properly
When a mod requires dependencies, does mod installer try to get them before the mod itself?
yes
So then yes, this is exactly the Vasi issue
Mod installer isn't unzipping stuff for some people
it's probably hard to unzip an empty/broken file lol
Yeah, that's probably why it's saying it's corrupt
Done that
same problem
same problem
try installing modcommon first from the installer
or install another mod first, then customknight
Yeah, manually installing the dependency would presumably work
in case that fails https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1TVAIN2Oh_RJwStoxkReoyRxVmrqju9wg download modcommon from here
The zip they had was corrupt
It was listed as 0kb
||hollow zip has a radiant modcommon||
