Hey I tried searching for this issue and also looked in pins (maybe im blind tho lol) and couldn't find a fix. Custom knight isn't showing icons and when I click one of them any images it affects go invis until i restart the game. Anyone know what to do?

real jacinth
#

they're not supposed to have images

broken iron
#

o

#

I thought they had icons?

fair briar
#

Lag issues

real jacinth
#

you also have hollow point, which changes the skin

#

and your skin file structure could also be wrong

fair briar
#

And doesnt allow skin changing

broken iron
#

I thought hollow point just added the gun over top

#

I can still use skins i just need to restart my game when changing them

fair briar
#

Dandy just broke the hollow point thingie i believe

then you're going to have to specify some parameters

me and my friend left the port at 26950 and put in my ipv4

i really dont understand whats going wrong?

my friend is connected to the room i made

and we put in the ip givin to me

we put it in but we arent seeing each other

real jacinth

what ip

#

screenshot both of your pause menus and your hamachi

stray nymph
#

my friend is saying that its auto disconnecting him

real jacinth
#

this is not your whole pause menu

stray nymph
#

Oop

real jacinth
#

again.... this is not your whole pause menu

#

I can't read the top left

#

also, screenshots exist

#

still need your friend's screenshot

#

and like the multiplayer procedure says at the bottom. if there's connection issues, you should both start over the whole process from the beginning. and close out of your games entirely

stray nymph
#

Oki lemme try restart

#

heres friend

real jacinth
#

your friend also has server

#

this is wrong

stray nymph
#

Oh?

real jacinth
#

read the procedure again

stray nymph
#

So he disable the host client?

raven axle
#

can i mod using the xbox gamepass ver of the game

stray nymph
#

No

real jacinth
#

Host: Install Modcommon, Multiplayer server, and Multiplayer client mods from the mod installer. Enter your own IP (from Hamachi) in the connection menu while in game. Connect to your IP.

Guest(s): Install Modcommon, and Multipilayer client mod from the mod installer. Connect to the Host Player's IP (again from Hamachi). Be sure to connect AFTER the host has connected to themselves.

hey, does anybody know what mod fireb0rn uses for his manhunts so the hunters have less health and can get certain abilities at certain times? I was wanting to do something similar to his manhunts but I don't know how we'd go about it without that
also do you have to downpatch for the multiplayer mod or is there a way to install it on the current patch

west lark
#

you have to downpatch to mod in general :/ not just for multi

lyric gazelle
#

oof, do you know if the modinstaller will be updated anytime soon or if downpatching will be the only option?

west lark
#

no clue, just started using it myself :/

lyric gazelle
#

ight, thanks for helping

native ice
native ice
#

Oh wait misread

west lark
#

i could benchwarp, stag, benchwarp back and try again to unlock it but idk if it'd work

native ice
west lark
#

oh.... all of my stags are locked...

#

i just benchwarped to a different one and i cant unlock it either

native ice
#

Hm, well I know moresaves tends to have conflicts with other mods maybe try uninstalling that and trying again

west lark
#

the dirtmouth stag is the only one that works

#

but it says i have the others unlocked

unknown.png
#

riding to each one works

#

but the city one will still be locked i think...

native ice
# west lark but it says i have the others unlocked

Thats odd, maybe try one you haven’t unlocked yet? Like hidden station or something. Also you might be able to use a save editor (or maybe debug not sure if it has this feature) to set the stags you have unlocked to locked and try again

west lark
#

ok yeah i tried riding the stag to the stations i have unlocked but it seems the city one is just still stuck, no clue why the prompt wont show up, imma uninstall the saves mod like u said real quick

I’ll repeat the instructions for downpatching
Go to your steam library, right click hk, click properties, click betas, click the box that says none, then click 1.4.3.2

They also included a visual guide for steam

# fossil briar which installer should i use?

Modinstaller 1 and 2 are pretty much the same iirc, just ui changes and a few minor differences so pick whichever, also make sure to put the installer on your desktop not your downloads

fossil briar
#

oh

#

but i used the modinstaller 1 and didnt work

#

but 2 did

native ice
#

Then use 2

fossil briar
#

i opened the installer 2

#

the modding api was out of date so i clicked on it twice

#

and now the game doesnt open

#

Did you downpatch?

fossil briar
#

no

i thought this one is updated idk

Wdym?

got a copy of the game files before doing anything

native ice
#

Not necessary but sure

native ice
fossil briar
#

i thought the installer 2 was updated and didnt need to downpatch the game to work

native ice
#

No, installer 2 is basically the same as 1, but with ui differences and sometimes it works better for people. There is no modinstaller for hollow knight ger 1.5 yet

fossil briar
#

is there a a planned date for 1.5?

#

thx for the help btw

No date yet but people are working on it

pliant lantern

Is it your game on steam, or part of a family account?
And are you able to run programs as administrator?

there is no family account, yes i can run as administrator and it is on steam

it was bought on the pc as well

pliant lantern

@woven hornet

  • First, make sure that your game is set to the 1432 Beta (there's info on that in the first pin)
#

After that, it takes a minute to load and get all of the files sorted.

#
  • When that's done, you'll need to click "Browse" in the Local Files section, in order to pull up the exact folder that you need.
hk_browse_local_files.png
woven hornet
#

it says i need a code in order to do so

pliant lantern
#

No it doesn't

woven hornet
#

oh

pliant lantern
#

It says that there are code opt-in betas

woven hornet
#

makes sense

pliant lantern
#

Public betas use the drop down

#

private ones use a code

woven hornet
#

i see it downloading now
thanks man

pliant lantern
#

?i After you have the beta set, you need to make sure that you have the latest copy of Mod Installer. The link is below:

dense shuttleBOT
pliant lantern
#

You'll need to MOVE the ModInstaller.exe out of your downloads, and onto your Desktop ideally. ||It technically can be in other places, but Desktop is safest if you've been having issues. It CAN'T be in Downloads.||

woven hornet
#

is it the mod installer 5 or the link in the pinned messages?

pliant lantern
#

There's Mod Installer and Mod Installer 2. They do the same thing.

woven hornet
#

ah

pliant lantern
#

They have slightly different UI, but fundamentally are the same. Most people find "1" to be more intuitive to use.
2 is arguably slightly better, but doesn't show you mods that you manually installed.

woven hornet
#

ive removed the old one, should i delete them?

pliant lantern
#

Sure

#

You might need to reset your installer data too, if you tried to use the installer before and it wouldn't work

woven hornet
#

How do you reset?

pliant lantern
#

(It's in the second pin)

#

download that and run it (again, probably from Desktop, although this one shouldn't matter as much)

#

It'll automatically remove any Mod Installer memory that you have, then tell you that it's done.

woven hornet
#

Alr I cleared the memory of it
Should Install the mod installer again?

pliant lantern
#

You just launch Mod Installer. It doesn't install anything.

#

But you should do it as Administrator

woven hornet
#

Ohh

#

Alr I’ve done that

pliant lantern
#

If it asks you to find your HK folder again, instead of doing it automatically, then you need to find the exacy path that Steam opened up when you used "Browse" in Local Files

woven hornet
#

It goes directly too common/hollow knight file

#

It didn’t ask me to go to the file tho

#

Hollow knight still won’t work with mods unfortunately

slow shale
#

@woven hornet that's so sad

woven hornet
#

Yea
I’ve been trying for an hour and a half

#

I just want hornet skin smh

pliant lantern
woven hornet
#

It loads a list of mods

pliant lantern
#

So, it sounds like you tried to open Mod Installer when you had 1.5 installed.
So you needed to follow this part of the main pin:
#archived-modding-help message

woven hornet
#

It won’t let me delete it

#

It let me delete one where the unity engine files are

fair briar
#

click cancel

#

and try to delete the other ones

woven hornet
#

There’s none now

pliant lantern
#

After there's none, use Steam's Verify Integrity

#

it'll replace the 1 file

#

when it is completely done, you can re-open Mod Installer

woven hornet
#

How do you use its verify integrity?

pliant lantern
#

I'm too lazy to edit the image, but

hk_browse_local_files.png
#

it's on the Local Files menu

#

instead of Browse though, click "Verify Integrity..."

woven hornet
#

Another assembly sharp appeared should I delete it

fair briar
#

no

woven hornet
#

Alr

#

After that I just launch the installer again?

fair briar
#

yep

woven hornet
#

What should I do after that

pliant lantern
#

Protip because you mentioned wanting Custom Knight:
Install ModCommon first

#

then install Custom Knight

woven hornet
#

They’re both installed

gray cipher
#

so has mac been fixed yet or is it still messed up

fair briar

Mac is still pretty much either 1.5 Vanilla, or more-complicated-downpatching if you want mods tho

woven hornet
#

Thanks <3.

fair briar
#

if that doesnt work, go search for dandy's message

woven hornet
#

Should the mod names appear on hk if it works?

fair briar
#

left top

woven hornet
#

Checked
Not there

pliant lantern
fair briar
#

go to options, see if the mods option is there

pliant lantern
fair briar
#

left bottom

woven hornet
#

No mod options
1.4.3.2

pliant lantern
#

Close HK, open Mod Installer

#

Does it say "Enable Mods" at the bottom?

woven hornet
#

No

#

I’m using the mod installer 5

pliant lantern
#

There isn't a Mod Installer 5

woven hornet
#

I used the second mod installer link and that’s what it’s titled

pliant lantern
#

What second link?

#

There's "1", which is v8...., or there's "2"

#

there's not "5"

woven hornet
#

I don’t remember where I found it but I’ve downloaded a second one and one that looks identical to the old one?

pliant lantern
#

Mods aren't going to work if you're using a bad installer

#

I literally linked you the installer

woven hornet
#

Listen I’ve only dabbled in Minecraft mods 👺

#

But the second one doesn’t give any prompts

gray cipher
#

tc removed the bug where knight look really funky if you storage scream skip nkg

#

couldnt be more disapointed

pliant lantern
#

@woven hornet
These are the only two Mod Installers right now:

unknown.png
#

Yours needs to be one of them, or you can't use mods

woven hornet
#

I have the black one

pliant lantern
#

That is "ModInstaller2"

#

there's no 5

woven hornet
#

Oh

#

Anyways

#

There’s no prompt it just goes to mods

pliant lantern
#

It's very important to communicate what you're doing accurately though, so that you can get correct help/info

woven hornet
#

It’s jnstalled

pliant lantern
#

ModInstaller2 doesn't auto do ModdingApi

#

Click the "installed button"

woven hornet
#

I’ve installed it when I got it

pliant lantern
#

so that it uninstalls

#

then install it again

woven hornet
#

Alr done

pliant lantern
#

Now launch Hollow Knight again and see if mods are there

woven hornet
#

Still none

#

There’s a mod option tho

#

Still none on the Home Screen

pliant lantern
#

If you have the Mods option, but no mods at the top-left, it means that something installed incorrectly at one point.

woven hornet
#

Oh boy

pliant lantern

It either means that you need to delete your mods folder, or that you need to delete some of the global settings files

#

@fair briar Any chance you remember offhand?

#

I'm sleepy -_-

#

Either way, you could technically just do both

woven hornet
#

Oh I’m sorry if I interrupted your sleep-
As someone who has insomnia I know it’s important

pliant lantern
#

Oh no, I haven't gone to bed yet

#

I'm just getting sleepy lol

woven hornet
#

I wish I could get sleepy
After 4 years I’m finally getting better at it

#

If I delete the mods folder do I need to make a new folder- or we’ll it automatically make one

pliant lantern
#

Close HK and the Mod Installer:

  • To delete \mods folder
    Go to \steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\ and delete the whole Mods folder there.
pliant lantern
woven hornet
#

It’s not letting me

#

“This action can’t be completed because the folder or a file in it is in another program”

pliant lantern
#

Do you have HK and Mod Installer closed?

woven hornet
#

I closed hk and it works

#

I’m horrible with files if you couldn’t tell👹

quartz drum
#

ah guys how do I fix this

unknown.png
pliant lantern
# woven hornet I closed hk and it works
  • To delete the global settings files:
  • Press ⊞ Win + R
  • Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK"
  • The main ones that tend to cause issues:
    -- Benchwarp.GlobalSettings.json and the .bak
    -- ModdingApi.GlobalSettings.json and the .bak
woven hornet
#

Wheee do you press win and r? Which file

#

Where^

pliant lantern
#

They are buttons on your keyboard

woven hornet
#

Not the keyboard

#

Files

#

Which file destination

pliant lantern
#

The first two steps open up a folder

woven hornet
#

Global game managers?

pliant lantern
#
  • Press ⊞ Win + R
  • Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK"
#

The files that you should probably delete are the next part:

  • The main ones that tend to cause issues:
    -- Benchwarp.GlobalSettings.json and the .bak
    -- ModdingApi.GlobalSettings.json and the .bak
woven hornet
#

It says type the name of a program folder or document and windows will open it for you

pliant lantern
#
  • Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK"
limber egret
#

Did you copy and paste what woot put in that message?

woven hornet
#

I did it

pliant lantern
#

If you don't have the Benchwarp files, then just delete the ModdingApi.GlobalSettings files

woven hornet
#

I have the benchwarp files

pliant lantern
#

Then yeet them too

woven hornet
#

I deleted both of them

pliant lantern
#

There should be 4 total files, fwiw

#

(two sets of two)

woven hornet
#

Yea deleted the 4 of them

pliant lantern
#

kk

#

Now open Mod Installer again

woven hornet
#

Done

pliant lantern
#

And re install

  • Mod Common,
  • Custom Knight,
  • Modding API
woven hornet
#

They were already installed?

#

I deleted them too

pliant lantern
#

grubthink
They shouldn't have still said installed

#

They should have been deleted when you deleted the Mods folder

woven hornet
#

I know it’s weird-
I don’t know how everything else was deleted

pliant lantern
#

Do you have multiple installs of Hollow Knight?

woven hornet
#

No just one

pliant lantern
#

You can try Uninstalling them each, then re-installing them

woven hornet
#

I’ve uninstalled them

#

They’ve both reinstalled

pliant lantern
#

Check to see what happens when you open hollow knight

If that didn't work, then either:

  • Reset the ModInstallers again (you can use that .bat I linked before. Definitely move it to Desktop tho)
  • or Download Mod Installer (1), and use that instead
woven hornet
#

Will I have to do everything again if the .bat file is installed?

pliant lantern
#

THe .bat doesn't install

#

.bat files are just single scripts

woven hornet
#

Oh

#

Well will everything need to be redon

pliant lantern
#

Well, it'll attempt to reset the Mod Installer memory again (which should also include Mod Installer 2)

#

The issue is,

  • Either Mod Installer 2 is attempting to do things incorrectly, like put stuff in the wrong spot, or
  • Something else really strange is going on
#

The spot that it tries to put stuff though, is based on what you told it was the HK install path when you first installed it

woven hornet
#

Whenever I click a button on the .bat file the file is removed

pliant lantern
#

A button?

woven hornet
#

Like space or any letter key

#

I’m sorry if I don’t word thinks correctly my adhd really cats up at night

#

Acts*
That’s autocorrect

pliant lantern
woven hornet
#

Si

#

It won’t run it gets deleted

pliant lantern
#

Note: to easily get to %APPDATA%, you can do the Win Key + R thing again, and just put in %APPDATA%

woven hornet
#

How do you delete the memory?

gloomy coral
woven hornet
#

It goes to the local file of every other application except hk

pliant lantern
#

You're not looking for hk

woven hornet
#

I put in app data too copy and paste

pliant lantern
#

so that's fine

woven hornet
#

I’m at the hk files

pliant lantern
gloomy coral
#

why not link the bat?

pliant lantern
gloomy coral
#

so maybe that's why they can't find the files?

#

cuz the bat ran

woven hornet
#

Yes

pliant lantern
#

That bat shouldn't vanish. It should be verbose

woven hornet
#

I’m trying to run the bat file

pliant lantern
#

And the Mod Installer apparently isn't resetting paths

woven hornet
#

Yea

#

I have no idea what’s going on

pliant lantern
#

This is the folder you're looking for

#

Wait

woven hornet
#

The data of the mod installers were successfully deleted before hand

pliant lantern
#

This one:

unknown.png
pliant lantern
#

You said that multiple times

#

that it just vanished

woven hornet
#

And the tab would be deleted

pliant lantern
#

tab?

woven hornet
#

On the toolbar the tab of it would be gone as soon as I pressed a key

pliant lantern
#

If it was successfully working, and giving you the message that it was done, then yes, it should have said "press any key to quit" or something

woven hornet
#

Oh

#

It said press any key to continue

pliant lantern
#

That was what it was supposed to do

woven hornet
#

Ahh

woven hornet
pliant lantern
#

Why is it searching?

woven hornet
#

Because the file didn’t just appear and I have no idea where it is

#

And it says it doesn’t exist

pliant lantern
#

It's presumably gone

#

that's what the .bat would have done

woven hornet
#

Oh

pliant lantern
#

is delete that file

woven hornet
#

What do I do now?

pliant lantern
#

Well, after those files are gone, opening Mod Installer should ask you to confirm the path

#

If it doesn't , then

#

back to "use Mod Installer 1"

woven hornet
#

Cryinf

#

It wont give a prompt

pliant lantern
#

At this point tho, I don't think that the Installer is the problem.
You got to the menu with Mods technically enabled (hence the Mods option being in Options), but them not appearing.

#

That was a known bug, I just don't remember what was causing it

#

And I don't remember the fix if the various things that were deleted didn't fix it.

woven hornet
#

OH SWEET CHRISTMAS IT WORKED

pliant lantern
#

Ah yes, the trick was that I had to give up

#

works every time zote

TYSM

fair briar
novel bronze

ok

#

it says i dont havr acces

#

fair briar
#

then you didn't join it

novel bronze
#

i did

limber egret
#

There may be a buffer period

novel bronze
#

isnt it this

discord.png
limber egret
#

Once you are in the server you can look in #resources

novel bronze
#

y

limber egret
#

No

novel bronze
#

which one

limber egret
#

That's the speedrun discord, you want the HK Speedrun Discord

novel bronze
#

oh

#

can u send it

limber egret
#

Resources on that page

fair briar
#

or the link i send

novel bronze
#

ok i joined

limber egret
#

Good stuff, see you over there

novel bronze
#

ok

#

in the recources are all the mods?

limber egret
#

There's lots of mods on there, especially for older patches

#

You can still just use modinstaller for many of your 1.4.3.2 needs.

novel bronze
#

ok i cant get mods for older patches

#

it doesnt work for me

fair briar
#

you have vasi?

novel bronze
#

yes

limber egret
#

Then obviously you just use the ones you need for the patch you need?

novel bronze
#

but when i make non steam game the hk folder doesnt show oon steam folder

limber egret
#

Okay step 1: Have you downloaded the mod installer?

novel bronze
#

yes

limber egret
#

When you open it what happens?

novel bronze
#

it opens the mods

limber egret
#

It just opens with no error messages?

#

Good stuff

fair briar
#

modinstaller 1 or 2

limber egret
#

You will need Mod Common, Vasi, and Speedrun Mod. You will need to disable all other mods (apart from ModdingAPI if that is listed) to use Speedrun mod.

novel bronze
#

modding api isnt listed

#

i have modinstaller1

#

do i need 2?

limber egret
#

Good stuff

#

No, 1 is good

fair briar
#

no

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

It's just a different interface

novel bronze
#

oh ok

fair briar
#

but 2 doesnt show the wrong patch thing iirc

limber egret
#

If you have mod common, vasi, and speedrun mod on, your game should have speedrun mod on and working

fair briar
#

get modcommmon

limber egret
#

If something about it not working?

novel bronze
#

i have moddcommon, vasi and speedrun mod

#

if i open 1.2.2.1 now it will have mods?

limber egret
#

No

#

You can't use it on 1221

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

It's a mod for v 1432

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

The idea is that it makes it more like 1221

novel bronze
#

ik

limber egret
#

(And does a bunch of other stuff)

#

So if you have 1221 why do you need this mod?

novel bronze
#

ok

#

but how do i get for example debug mod for 1221

limber egret
#

If you check #resources in the Hk speedrun server, you can use the search function to find the mods you need

fair briar
#

in resources pogtamer

novel bronze
#

yes ik

limber egret
#

everything is tagged like "1221" and "debug"

fair briar
#

here too iirc

limber egret
#

So searching is easier

novel bronze
#

i mean but when i make non steam game the hk folder doesnt show oon steam folder

#

i cant put mods

#

there is not folder

limber egret
#

That's an entirely separate issue

novel bronze
#

ik

#

thatas what i am asking

limber egret
#

Screenshot where your 1221 install is, including the address bar at the top

novel bronze
#

do u know why this is?

#

wdym?

#

on steam?

fair briar
#

problems with downpatching shouldn't go here fyi

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

No, like in windows file explorer

novel bronze
#

ok

fair briar
#

or theres no mods folder?

#

you have the api?

limber egret
#

Please, Rutttie

#

That's not the issue right now

#

Step 1 is getting it to open properly in steam

novel bronze
#

it opens on steam

#

but no folder

#

i think

limber egret
#

What do you mean by "no folder"?

fair briar
#

i believe they mean theres no mods folder

limber egret
#

Right, okay.

novel bronze
#

dont u need a folder for mods

limber egret
#

You need to download the 1221 modding api from resources

#

This is starting to make more sense.

novel bronze
#

do i just put the mods dll in the 1221 folder?

limber egret
#

No, do as I said above

limber egret
novel bronze
#

i get modding api for recources?

#

from*

limber egret
#

Yes

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

Make sure it's the version for 1221

novel bronze
#

ok ill try to find it waiyt

#

wait

#

i cant find it -_-

limber egret
#

Type "in:" in your searchbar, then "resources" and the channel should come up
then type in what you need to find, like "1221 modding"

novel bronze
#

search bar?

limber egret
#

The discord search bar

novel bronze
#

ok

#

ohhhh

#

ok

#

i type in: ?

limber egret
#

If you type "in:" then it will bring up a list of channels

novel bronze
#

yes ik the recources channel

limber egret
#

Then you start typing "resources" and it will come up with that channel to search only that channel

#

Then type what you're looking for

#

1221

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

moddingapi

novel bronze
#

ok

#

so i type 1221 after recources?

#

bec it doesnt show anything

#

i am so sorry if i am disturbing u

limber egret
#

:/

fair briar
#

in:resources [space] #1221

novel bronze
#

ok

fair briar
#

not in:resources1221

novel bronze
#

ik

#

nothing

#

it searches poeples names

#

when i type #1221

limber egret
#

When you type "resources" does it come up with a little dropdown?

novel bronze
#

yes

fair briar
novel bronze
#

oh do i just enetr

limber egret
#

Click "resources"

novel bronze
#

enter

limber egret
#

Then you'll be searching that channel

novel bronze
#

oh ok i just needed to enter

#

wait i will try to find it

limber egret
#

It should frame "in: resources" in its own little box separate from the rest of the search

fair briar
limber egret
#

This is what it looks like on my screen

fair briar
#

ah you got it already

novel bronze
#

oh ok

#

i found it

#

k i got it whats next

limber egret
#

Okay you can use that "assembly-csharp.dll" file to turn your game into a modded version

#

First, go to where the exe file is for your 1221 install

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

And rename the file that's already there "assembly-csharp.dll.vanilla"

#

(Obviously make sure HK is closed at this point)

novel bronze
#

its called hollow_knight_data]

#

without )

limber egret
#

Are you on pc or mac?

novel bronze
#

pc

limber egret
#

Inside that folder

fair briar
#

enter Hollow_Knight_Data > managed

novel bronze
#

yes

#

there are a lot of dlls

limber egret
#

Yep

fair briar
#

sort on name

novel bronze
#

ok

fair briar
#

it should be on top

limber egret
#

There should be one called "assembly-csharp.dll" rename it as I said above. (so it has ".vanilla" at the end)

novel bronze
#

yes there is assembly-csharp

#

k

#

i renamed it

limber egret
#

When you've done that, grab the new assembly-csharp.dll you just downloaded and move it into this folder.

novel bronze
#

ok

#

done

limber egret
#

Once you've done that, make a new folder in there called "Mods" (upper case M)

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

You now have a modded 1221!

novel bronze
#

thats it?

#

rly

limber egret
#

So you can find 1221 mods and put them in that folder.

novel bronze
#

ok

#

i will try

fair briar
#

just run the game and it appears but making also works ig

limber egret
#

Run the game once and make sure text appears in the top left corner of your main menu to double check it's worked

novel bronze
#

ok

#

wait

limber egret
novel bronze
#

it works

#

it says modding api

fair briar
#

on 1.4 it does it idk how different 1221 is lol

#

nice

novel bronze
#

tysm

limber egret
#

Judt FYI

#

If you want to speedrun, you'll have to swap your assembly-csharp.dll files around. Just rename the new one with ".modded" at the end, and delete the ".vanilla" from the end of the other one.

#

Jamie actually made an app that swaps them for you.

#

It's probably in #resources either here or in the speedrun server

novel bronze
#

ok

fair briar
#

wait but does it swap Assembly-Csharp.dll.vanilla or Assembly-Csharp.vanilla (just curious)

limber egret
#

I have no idea, tbh

#

I just do this

unknown.png
fair briar
#

not if you care about disk space shroompog

limber egret
#

This SSD has my OS, Hollow Knight, and a few other games on it. Everything else is on my HDD

#

I have 5 copies of HK on this thing.

fair briar
#

lol

novel bronze
#

is there a benchwarp mod for 1221

limber egret
#

There is

fair briar
novel bronze
#

k

limber egret
#

You'll probably find more useful and up to date 1221 mods on the speedrun server

novel bronze
#

ok

#

thx

limber egret
#

Np

novel bronze
#

i hope silksong modding isnt this complex

fair briar
novel bronze
#

ok

#

this is a zip

fair briar
novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

The dll will be in the zip

novel bronze
#

ik

#

there is 2

#

i get both>?

limber egret
#

TBF this is only complicated because you're downpatching

fair briar
#

2?

novel bronze
#

yes

fair briar
#

the names?

novel bronze
#

there is benchwarp and valuetuplebridge

limber egret
#

No idea what the second one is

novel bronze
#

ok

fair briar
#

just... ignore it?

novel bronze
#

ok

gloomy coral
#

No

#

It's probably a required dependancy

fair briar
#

what is it then?

#

wierd name tho

gloomy coral
#

1221 mapi maybe doesn't have tuples stuff

novel bronze
#

really?

#

so i put it in mods folder?

fair briar
#

eh just add it to the mods folder

novel bronze
#

ok

fair briar
#

if it was malware then it was already banned

#

if it wasn't needed it wasn't added

gloomy coral
#

Yea tuples is a .net framework 4.7 feature and 1221 uses 3.5

fair briar
#

tuples?

novel bronze
#

the dll name

gloomy coral
#

A tuple is a data structure that has a specific number and sequence of elements. An example of a tuple is a data structure with three elements (known as a 3-tuple or triple) that is used to store an identifier such as a person's name in the first element, a year in the second element, and the person's income for that year in the third element.

novel bronze
#

valuetuplebridge

fair briar
#

1.4 uses 3.5 too and havent seen any tuples

gloomy coral
#

Maybe mapi or unity engine subs it in

#

Idk

fair briar
#

ig

limber egret
#

This conversation got me to finally update all my mods

#

Which is cool

gloomy coral
#

To 1.5?

novel bronze
#

No, like, update my very old version of benchwarp to the newer version

fair briar
novel bronze
#
