Did you extract the ModInstaller, and put it on your desktop?

It's not going to work if it's in your Downloads folder

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend mod their game, but whenever they open hollow knight it gives them this before shutting down.

dense shuttleBOT

#

ahhh, forgot about 1.5

toxic gust
#

If for a certain reason my files are "write protected", how do i give the modinstaller the ability to write on my game files

gloomy coral
#

Where did you get the game from?

toxic gust
gloomy coral
#

You can't mod that version

#

Microsoft is stupid

toxic gust

Nope

You could mod that version if you dual boot linux

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?

wheat orchid
#

Might need to test it, before when 1.4.3.2 was the main branch on steam they worked with mods

solid mural
#

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 👍

wicked prairie

Thank you, I realized that I was trying real hard to make ModInstaller1 work but I just needed to try ModInstaller2

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

pliant lantern
# manic monolith 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

manic monolith

would you recommend a "proper" downpatch?

pliant lantern

It's in that section 🙃

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

wheat orchid

Also it shouldn’t mess up files though, so your friend is having a non file corruption related problem

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

novel bronze
#

why do i not have access to the thing when i downloaded in 1.4.3.2

fair briar
#

Is it your mac?

novel bronze
#

is it 32 bit

#

my mac can only run 64 bit

#

mac sucks and every update gets worse shermanxious

fair briar
#

Could you play 1.4 before?

novel bronze
#

before the update was released yet

#

*yes

fair briar
#

Then it can now

novel bronze
#

that day my 1.5 update failed but i couldn't open the 1.4 app

#

even though the update died

fair briar
#

Try running it through terminal

novel bronze
#

how

fair briar
#

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

novel bronze
#

thanks

#

not working

#

dammit

#

time to go without customknight bcause i can't even open the 1.4 editiion...

pliant lantern
#

the Beta is only 32 bit

gloomy coral
#

we should use this now for hollow point fix for windows users

pliant lantern
#

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

neon marten
pliant lantern
#

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"

With my 0 knowledge of bat and powershell

pliant lantern

lol

#

I mean, it works

#

it just fails to do something

gloomy coral
#

Probs something like custom knight would use it

#

I could just yeet that part out and try

viral yarrow
#

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

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

The last version got stopped by windefender btw

Ez to get around but still

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?

wheat orchid
#

Is there a mods option in the options menu

bold cave
#

unfortunatly no

novel bronze
#

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

bold cave
#

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

bold cave
#

yeah, but i unplugged it for now

wheat orchid
#

Always leave controllers disconnected when starting hollow knight with mods on

#

Try resetting the installer, and verifying the game’s files, then opening the installer again

bold cave
#

by resetting you mean the "verify integrity of game files" on steam right?

wheat orchid

Look in the pins for how to reset the installer

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 🙂

real jacinth
#

I don't think so

vernal rain

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.

Sorry but this is because i didn't double check

in theory sfcore should've been auto installed, but nice that it works now!

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.

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?

brazen pasture

#

I fixed the mod installer, thank you very much

bold cave
# brazen pasture have you installed the modding api ?

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

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

the mod that isnt loading is randomizer 3

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'm probably not the first one to ask this but
why do the mod logs take up so much space

because they are literally big text files

hardy stag

surely they don't have to be in the gigabytes large?

except for if you play for days on end without restarting

which is kinda crazy

you sure it wasn't KB?

nah

#

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

neon marten
#

old logs are deleted/zipped. No way they take up 16.6GB

hardy stag
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

neon marten
#

I highly doubt that that is because of the modlogs folder

my old modlogs are only 50 MB total

make sure there is one

just sitting in the menu myself rn and the output_log stays at ~6 KB

hardy stag
#

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

brazen pasture
#

could it be a mod preloading something maybe ?

#

Oh maybe

#

could it be skin mods doing that

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
