ahhh, forgot about 1.5
If for a certain reason my files are "write protected", how do i give the modinstaller the ability to write on my game files
Where did you get the game from?
microsoft store
so ur saying i couldnt go in the security properties and give the modding api write privileges no matter what?
Nope
..
You could mod that version if you dual boot linux
is there any news on when modding api will be updated?
is there a mod that gives u inviablity
ya
that doesnt help m
Debug mod
lol sorry
oh debug
Well they answered your question
I feel like I already know the answer to this question, but since I set the game to 1.4.3.2 for mod compatibility, I'm assuming that Steam achievements won't work?
Might need to test it, before when 1.4.3.2 was the main branch on steam they worked with mods
I hear ya. I already have most of them, but if I ever get lucky/crazy enough to beat the Pantheon of Hallownest, I'd like to get some credit for it đ
mod installer works for v1.5.68.11?
not yet
so i must set hk to 1.4.3.2 right?
yep
well ty
how do u remove the modinstaller2 from the gamefile ?
revert everything to normal
how do i force this to look through a different file path?
Have installer on desktop. Run as admin
Thank you, I realized that I was trying real hard to make ModInstaller1 work but I just needed to try ModInstaller2
does mods stop steam achievements? i played console until as of a few days ago and don't want mods helping me get them again.
Mods don't stop you from getting Steam Achievements
Yeah the game isn't reading my installed mods
Did you read the pinned message?
it tells me I need the most recent patch, but I'm on 1.4.3.2
Did you do the "If mods still aren't working" part?
Zote Icon
Are you running it from your Desktop?

The Game Files path should be it
unless you installed Hollow Knight somewhere else
I selected the path and it still says the same thing
That I need the most recent version
how can i use mods? they dont work with the new patch and when i downpatch it wont launch
That means that you're not using the correct version. Did you opt into the beta, and let it install?
I installed the other modinsstaller and it works
What OS are you on?
Nevermind it's not working properly
OS? macbook air?
If it's an up-to-date Mac, then you can't use the Steam Beta.
You'll have to either do a "proper" downpatch, or play vanilla 1.5 for now. See the "Mac users" section of the pin
would you recommend a "proper" downpatch?
It's in that section đ
For some reason I don't respawn when doing item and room randomizer
Do you have Vasi installed?
yeah
for those who doesn't want to reinstall the game just create a backup for ur assemblycsharp
For what?
when installing the api, and it doesn't work for some god know reason. u have a backup.
Ok
What isnât working?
Also you donât need to reinstall the game, just verify the files(only reinstall that file)
true
but don't forget there are poor ppl who can't afford internet, nor the money to pay for the game yet they love it so much. one of my friends is crying cause the files he downloaded got corrupted, so i send him the file so he doesn't have to re download the hole game
We donât support pirating
Also good job talking about pirating on the official hk discord
yeah u don't
i know a lot of ppl who didn't like hollow knight at first glance, they pirated it. and after half way through they bought the game.
but still u have a point
don't forget that a lot of ppl doesn't have the luxury to buy games.
go easy on them
Also it shouldnât mess up files though, so your friend is having a non file corruption related problem
Is there a map maker I can use when doing random room runs?
There are a couple in #randomizer pins.
are there any mods that add borderless?
thank you!@
that didn't work
for some reason I can't turn off fullscreen either, does it have something to do with mods?
No, thats legit just hollow knight
help :'cđ©
you have to go back to the other version of hollow knight
Hello I'm New
yes. use alt+enter
that will turn off fullscreen
ty!!
for the new version??? 1.5.68

what's wrong with my hollow knight
i'm on m1 mac
basically deleted the game and reinstalled via steam
reinstalled everything clean including both modinstallers
but when i tried to add mods the game just crashed and it's not working
Check the pin 
Is it your mac?
Could you play 1.4 before?
Then it can now
that day my 1.5 update failed but i couldn't open the 1.4 app
even though the update died
Try running it through terminal
how
Wait a sec
Try this, stolen from dandy
"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
"
Copy it
Open terminal
Paste it
Then look on desktop
thanks
not working
dammit
time to go without customknight bcause i can't even open the 1.4 editiion...
Unless soemthing changed, the 1.4 Beta doesn't work for Mac users on the newer MacOS
the Beta is only 32 bit
Since it's a .zip, can you include a readme in it, with the basic instructions?
Also, should it include the UI fix, since it messages about it?
Otherwise, I feel like people are going to get confused when they see it throw an error about not finding it
why? It's not like anybody will read it
Repeatedly having information/instructions available, increases the odds that someone sees/reads it, even if only slightly.
A lot of people that seek help, don't know that they need to extract a zip; or to double-click the .bat instead of the .dll; or to tell windows to "give more info > allow anyway"
instead of readme.txt, it could be "Instructions.txt"
make it very layman
the heck man 
i hate macOS
In top pin

how to install mod installer 2
is it just for linux or windows as well
in the pins there are builds for every platform
oh thank you
that is an old version
okay
I don't get what this means
the new modinstaller should work too
that one's pinned
I'll try to fix it
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
With my 0 knowledge of bat and powershell
Apparently modres thing is used to add the resources of the mod
Probs something like custom knight would use it
I could just yeet that part out and try
fixed it (hopefully)
whenever i go into the mods on my hollow knight, it lists the mods of course
but then
when i go into a save and go out and look at it again
the mods lists adds another list of what was there again
so it ends up looking like this
not just that, but i uninstalled those mods
and none of the new mods i install work
so im having loads of fun
Can you post a screenshot of your Mods folder, including the path?
aye one minute
That looks like the Options > Mods menu
mhm
ik but it looks very wierd
like there's 2 custom knight a "gods and glory" 2 shitmoths
Art mods
That looks really good btw.
Also, I didn't check the doc in two days, and you've both got that FAQ sections looking great đ
That's why I want to see their mods folder.
I think they have the files in their twice.
Pls do it on a new page 
It?
The hollow point part
Oh you did it already
I saw you added some things, will look at it when i get home
I'll test that too when i get home
where i can find ModInstaller 2?

@pliant lantern @fair briar could ypu try and see if this works
if it does it'll be awesome
Yea but in this it doesn't ask for path
It takes from registry
Ah ok
So place this and the hollow point fix dll in same folder and run the bat
And check mods folder if it got added or not
Wdym got stoped by defender?
Why defender gotto do this
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
But ig this is better than making people select path
May be a problem for people with multiple installs but like almost no one does that
ye i'll check if it works in 30 min
I downloaded custom knight and now even if I click it it don't change skin
Need help I downloaded Custom Knight and whenever I open my Hollow Knight the save files refuse to load and if I also go to the mod section it settings the game locks me in there

ah ty
ello , how do i tell witch version the mod uploader is ?
Wdym
i migth think its the old version since it dosent load the mods
Is the problem opening the mod installer or mods not loading in hollow knight
both really since the folder has the mods but the mod window dosent really open if i open it several times it gives me the option to do it manauly
lemme give ya a screenshot
Donât need one of the installer, could you screenshot the main menu of hollow knight
Actually now that I think of it I might need a screenshot of mod installer, sorry lol. Hollow knight version looks correct though
- Thatâs a bad place to put mod installer 2. I mean opening mod installer and screenshotting the manually menu
Would going back to 1.4 to use mods mess with my save data?
Might want to back up it just in case it does

Has some steps for solving it
Sorry for interrupting but when I went back to this it worked but mods wouldn't work
I found out the validated file was the modding api - Image sent
Does anyone know a way to launch hk with the mods
Can you screenshot the entire installer(specifically the buttons below the scrolling menu?)
Bonk
When you open hk is there a mods option in the options menu
Nope
Try clicking revert to unmodded, then clicking the button again
Go to saves file location and delete bench.globalsettings
Tried that

So to saves files and delete benchwarp.globalsettings
Btw I dont just have benchwarp
But benchwarp sometimes caused problems
And you have that installed so...
Not the right thingâŠ.
?!?!
Oh
Save files
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
Also the fileâs name is benchwarp.globalsettings
It's not there
Intresting
Imma assume the ModdingApi isnât installed
Do you have controller?
Actually was benchwarp disabled
Yes
No
Unplug until you reach the main menu
Thats what installer shows
Can cause conflicts with mods
No?
It shows benchwarp enabled
So the ModdingApi isnât installed
Yes I'm blind sorry
Did you do this before or after verifying
Well now you are on the wrong version of hollow knightâŠ.
What now
First pinned message
can someone help me, when I try to install the modmanager, its says it requires the most recent version to work, idk what to do

thx
What's wrong?
Mul actually was the one to suggest the first pinned message
thank you guys anyway
hello, my mod installer stopped working, i downpatched to 1.4.3.2 and went through the pinned messages, I also reset the Mod Manager using the .bat but nothing worked even remotely. It doesnt load any mod-related while starting the game and wont show any mods in the title screen, so i might overlook something completely obvious, any ideas?
Is there a mods option in the options menu
unfortunatly no
is there a way to download the mod installer if you didnt get the steam version? because i have the collectors edition of hollow knight
i should also mention that i deactivated the mod-installer when the new patch came out and tried to reactivate it after downpatching, then i got a blackscreen everytime i started the game after installing randomizer 3, then i reverted back to unmodded, activated again and now it starts the game w/o any mods
Are you using a controller
yeah, but i unplugged it for now
Always leave controllers disconnected when starting hollow knight with mods on
Try resetting the installer, and verifying the gameâs files, then opening the installer again
by resetting you mean the "verify integrity of game files" on steam right?
No
Look in the pins for how to reset the installer
collectors edition comes with a game key
Hello! I want to ask this question here, because I couldn't find any "trustworthy" answer on the internet. Does anyone know if I downpatch the game using beta version on steam (to play mods), will I be able to get achievements? I really want to have skin mod, but I rather be able to get steam achievements. Thanks in advance đ
I don't think so
with the beta option i think you can get achievements
I've heard people say they've gotten them and others say they can't. So I don't know what to believe.
Just use SAM if you donât get them
I mean yeah, you can just give yourself achievements
Yeah it seems like the most reliable option to me
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
okay thanks for help
So, what is the way of modding this game? I want to create my own mod, and I already know some C#, so coding isn't a problem

Go to your saves folder, delete user#.dat where # is the save slot number.
Then delete the .bak of the most recent backup of that save (and any extra numbers it has)
You may want to copy all of the .dat files for that save before deleting stuff, in case the one you restore isn't correct
I'll try that, thanks
You'll also need to delete the .json for it
If it exists

steam has been not letting me play on a past beta without forcing me to update, so i guess ill just play without mods until the installer updates
when will it might have an update ready
ok, so I installed hollow point, and it isn't working (and there's nothing of use in the readme or in the pins)
what can I do?
read the "important to read" part of the readme
a month. if you set your game's version using the beta branch, steam won't "force" you to update. so I dunno what you're doing
i got mods and put on the custom kinght but it wont let me custom my kinght
how so

thank you! ill do my best to describe the problem, i can provide you with screenshots if you need some
I played on 1.4.3.2 when i installed ModInstaller and when the patch came i got rid of it. Now i downpatched and installed custom knight and randomizer 3. When i started the game i got a blackscreen even before the Team Cherry logo, and after i reverted to vanilla and reactivated mods, the ModInstaller just stopped working altogether. The game runs just fine, but not a trace of ModInstaller. I reset the Installer with the .bat in the pinned messages, deleted it manually, verified the integrity of game files on steam, patched up and down again and got rid of all unnecessary mod-related files in the \Team Cherry\Hollow Knight folder, because someone said some benchwarp.dat can cause problems.
scorp is also desperate
I broke the mod installer it keeps gvinig me a message called "microsoft .NET framework"
does this help ?<#archived-modding-help message>
yes that is what i see
so right now you're downpatched to 1.4.3.2 without mods ?
i'm having trouble with putting on the nekomata skin, i tried like the other normal ones but it won't work, is there any specific way i need to put it on?
yeah, im on 1.4.3.2 and trying to get mods running, but when i start the game i play vanilla
Does anyone have advice on a mod that would help me practice diff phases of absrad? I'm trying to get practice on phase 4/platform phase, but it's tedious having to do the first few phases just to get to it to practice. I tried the save states from the debug mod, but loading them resets the whole fight. Am I just doing it wrong? Are there any mods for this?
have you installed the modding api ?
I fixed the mod installer, thank you very much
i think so at least, there is a ModInstaller folder in \AppData\Local, and the Mods folder in \hollow_knight_Data\Managed, but i did a lot of reinstalling and retrying so i imagine that this might have thrown the installer off
check your Assembly-CSharp.dll in Managed directory.
manually replace that file with the one in windows.zip here https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/tag/1.4.3.2-60
wow that worked! Thank you so much! đ
Whenever I try to run the mod installer it says I need the most recent stable version of the game. How do I change versions and what version should I change it to?
yeah same

thx @vernal rain 
help the hollow point isnt working
i cant use the gun even though i have it installed
Read the readme
i did
So you:
installed Hollow Point
started a new save file
couldn't fire?
i mean like i cant take the gun out
and theres no like hud for it
because it has a adrenaline feature
The readme describes how to get Hollow point working in the first place
ok i will read it again
- Install and Enable "ModCommon"
- Install and Enable Hollow Point
i already have mod commo
common
installed
Continue reading
CAST = Swap between the Nail and the Gun.
FOCUS = Quick reload, consume adrenaline to reload your gun.
QUICK CAST = Use spells, you can now use spells while the gun is equipped.
i click f
to swap
i think?

oh i reloaded my game
now i have the gun
because when i first loaded it up the gun was no where
Weird. I wonder if it suggests something like that in the readme?
idk but im happy it works now

Mods don't work on the new patch. Take a look at the pins.
hey i cant use the mod installer anyone have any tips?

when i go into hollow knight in the top left where it lists mods it says the directory and says that its failed to load
what do i do
the mod that isnt loading is randomizer 3
my killer whale custom skin doesnt work ;-;
Sadge
got any tips
Don't walk down dark alleys at night
Can you get steam achievements in modded?
Yes. Though that might change now with a beta build being used. But that would be unrelated to mods
You're likely either missing modcommon, or your skin files are structured incorrectly.
I have hk on xbox game pass for pc and I'm new to modding. does the mod installer work for gp for pc?
for the debug mod what key is it to make the menu reappear
This time I used sfcore+frogcore, and I successfully saw uuwuu in the game, but this uuwuu has no other content except the saw on the top, just like ordinary uumuu. Is this the original design? Or is there something wrong with my loading? Just like the "failed to load" in the upper left corner told međ€
I can't seem to get randomizer mod 3 to work. I downloaded it with the modding API and I have the other required mods (QoL, serecore, vasi, modcommon) and the mod appears in the corner but all of the stuff doesn't appear on the menu and I don't know how to get it to work. (please @ me if you respond)
Hey, ever since the latest patch, ModInstaller hasnât worked. What do I do?
#archived-modding-help message Maybe you need to try it like this?
Thanks. Is there any chance I could do this with 1.2.2.1?
Do you need downpatch?
Probably
https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/jlten This guide explains this in detail
Mod installer doesnât work with 1.2.2.1 btw
I remember that 1.2.2.1 needs to use ModdingAPI-37, I have a backup
Manual installation
Thatâs fine, I need it for something else
Thanks
Do you know what is wrong with the situation I just mentioned? #archived-modding-help message
Oh
so if I go down a version to add mods will my progress be deleted?
So the version of frogcore Uuwuu requires and the version of frogcore on the installer are different
Idk, might want to backup your saves in case
?saves

ok
Ive been working on a uuwuu update but havenât finished it in favor of working on pale court, some other popular mods in development, CustomKnight +, and some more I prob forgot about
So can I find a suitable version of frogcore?
My current frogcore is found from github
Is it the latest release?
Iirc latest release is the correct one
Is SFCore, ModCommon, and Vasi enabled?
ok, let me check
thanks
I downloaded all the required files from modinstaller again, and even the lever to switch boss disappeared
No not uuwuu
Can you send your modlog
is it possible to mod hk on switch?
no
ok
use mod installer. click install on benchwarp
tada
have to be on patch 1432 tho. first pin describes how
does anyone know the name of the mini hornet skin? I dont want to spend too much time looking for it in the drives aaa
I'm pretty sure you want the Daughter of Hallownest one that's in the TWP drive
ohh okay
If it's the newer version of debug, then you can click on a bind and then hit esc.
I don't believe the newer one is on Mod Installer though, in which case you would need to delete your Global Settings file for Debug
That file is located in your saves folder

I completely forgot about the installer but is it worth even putting it there?
my mod manager is not working. It keeps saying that I need the most recent update of hollow knight when I already have it. I've had the mods work on my game in the past, now they are gone. Any idea on how to fix this?
damn
thanks for the tip

thanks ill check it out right now
Have any mods been updated for HK 1.5 yet?
That depends on who you ask probably?
As long as 1.5 Installer is TBA (and there aren't all of the "main" mods updated), then I would think that pushing the 1432 update would make sense.
Not to mention AFAIK the 1.5 Mod Installer is going to support 1432 and 1.5, so it would make sense to have 1432 mods on it be the "final" versions.
Technically, yes. However there isn't a 1.5 Installer, and only a few mods are currently updated.
I downloaded custom knight and a few skins. Those skins show when I pause, but selecting them does nothing. Is this common?
Clicking the skin just makes the knight flash briefly
hm did u instal modcommon idk
so, i downloaded the mod installer, but when i open it, it says i need to update hollow knight, despite being on the latest patch

no
It's a mystery
I install this(sorry for the resolution but now I can't log in from the pc

I mean I verified file integrity
Aight
im trying to use the toggleable bindings mod but it is failing to load every time ive tried uninstall verifying integrity etc what should i do?
did the ModdingAPI get updated to 1.5 yet?
the pinned message was about 2 weeks ago so im just checking
afaik no
ok thx
when its updated, the message will probably be deleted/edited
hello, i have customknight on my mac and i have a few skins but only "default" is showing up as an option in-game, even when I have other skins in my folder, including a copy of the default? this is the filepath where i have it. what am i doing wrong?
yep
Dandy is epic and made the custom knight skin path int resources data managed mods
To match other mods
So....
aahh i forgot
go to the ither mods folder
and place the skins in that customknight folder
ooh ok ill try that
Hey there, I was just looking for the mod which allows flight in hk beta, does anyone know where I can find it?
it works now thank you mul and ruttie!!
to be fair jngo had already made the change in their repo i just released it 
to be even more fair jngo was never gonna release it
hello
i'm probably not the first one to ask this but
why do the mod logs take up so much space
and is there a way to stop them from being created
because they are literally big text files
i mean
surely they don't have to be in the gigabytes large?
they aren't
except for if you play for days on end without restarting
which is kinda crazy
idk
my Old ModLogs folder was something like 16.6 GB
Also
I just launched hollow knight once
and my disk size instantly went up 1.2 GB
lmao
everything else but normal
you sure it wasn't KB?
nah
GB
like my C: drive was in the red with like 950MB left until i deleted the old modlogs
then it jumped to 19.1 GB free
old logs are deleted/zipped. No way they take up 16.6GB
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I highly doubt that that is because of the modlogs folder
my old modlogs are only 50 MB total
i would check again but i already deleted them all :p
No but like look at this
what is happening
that is KB
thats 60mb
thats more than all of this guy's old modlogs combined
old mod logs are compressed
oh
Is that even anything to do with mods?
they aren't though
Mine is 8mb
weird
aren't they zipped?
i dont suppose theres a way to turn them off entirely
@hardy stag could you upload it to google drive or smth and share it
probably some funny mod outputting a lot of stuff in your modlog, share it once
i dont think so
Are you looking in your own folder atm?
no
Please do.
yep
i mean if you Log something every Update i bet you could destroy modlog size records lol
I can't
alright let's see what that leads to
You seem to be talking about a different file, so yaknow
yeah. It's hard to find an error in that file
everyone has that
nothing you can do about it
I think
oh
this is output generated by unity itself i believe, and this error message is in the base game as well
well that's
strange
Could we make a patch that fixes it?
i mean i could see modlogs being super giant if you used a lot of mods / a mod that was super generous with Logs & play a lot
it's up to 72mb now lol
probably, but should we ?
im just sitting in the menu
I think we should. If only to make it easier to spot errors in that file. I have had to search through that before and it was not fun
makes sense, the hero is not in the scene
make sure there is one
yeah that i agree with (the its not fun part)
just sitting in the menu myself rn and the output_log stays at ~6 KB
So i guess the solution would be to either spend as little time as possible in the main menu (and possibly the pause menu too?) or to just clear the logs after every session
could it be a mod preloading something maybe ?
can you share modlog ?
CK does like its Logs

Ah i see it now
it was a bit lower down lol
it would be called "ModLog.txt"
with customknight installed sitting in main menu and
modlog stays at ~150 KB
output_log stays at ~870 KB
ye i found it
i was... kidding CK is not That generous with logs
should be fine here unless it has your IP
ok
well idk if there would be anything in it that would leak my IP so
its probably fine :p
i dont have HKMP on or anything
i don't see anything super obvious in there
i can only suggest doing an experiment : disable all mods and enable one by one
to find the culprit, if any.
I mean, isn't the "culprit" debug?
It looks like unity is just throwing an output_log error from debug every frame that the Knight doesn't exist
But the output log gets deleted every time you start, so it shouldn't bea long term issue if you don't stay in the main menu a bunch
@glass meteor? It must be your mod, right? Can you link it to me, please?
And one more thing: I have dnSpy and I want to remap controls in beta, how can I do that?
Come on, please find it >:(
Oh, thanks
I'll check that, thanks for your help.
Hey all, i can't seem to find the mod "Randomizer" or "Randomizer 3" anywhere, did they get replaced or am i just that blind?
it's on the installer
Guess i really was just that blind haha, my bad
well you do call yourself dead eyes 
Considering that it says .cpp I assumed it's not a mod directly putting that out
i have also seen this text in assembly-csharp.dll in ilspy
Unity is the one saying it
so it could be any mod that looks for HeroController.instance every frame i guess
Is the ModdingAPI on fix due to recent update?

can i use it with the randomizer mod or is that not possible?
Again pins
ModdingApi has already updated, itâs just the installer which needs to be updated(like right when 1.5 became the current patch I made an update, no one seems to care though)
Should work, yeah, though you will likely want to make sure you are on the same settings and seed.
oh ok thanks
Just build it start distributing your version
Yeah
You can always add support for the newer modlinks into it to allow for multipatch support if you want
