The only problem being that there's a chance you can see random people in the server with you
do i enable hkmote?
If you want to
what does it do
Plays animation when you press numbers
true
just that?
What more do you want
It's not
ok
It's a addon
it's not mandatory for HKMP but this animation is seen by other players connected to the server, like an emote.
also PvP needs to be enabled & if teams are enabled you need to join different teams
Teams are enabled
(PvP and teams are enabled on Dwarf's server)
Your server or dwarfs server?
If your server, see host settings
...what
is this dreamer / dreamnail ?
okay
i've had something similar happen when playing rando3 and trying to use dreamgate / dreamers
i died on one save file and when i respawned it was another save file
and then the save file duplicated
which mods do you have?
could you go to save folder and screenshot it
to go to save files
Press win + r and then paste this
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
what now
..
maybe its a glitch
Huh, strange that the lower % one has more minutes and geo
you mean 104% to 102%
Is it possible to install mods if your a console player?
Nope

Only steam and GoG
Even hollow knight skins?
Those are a mod so no
Oh
Plus we can’t really access the files on console for the ones that aren’t actual mods
Why are my keyboard controls always changing?
Idk, could you provide some info as to what mods you have and when this happens
(Answer the first question preferably with a screenshot of the main menu)
(its loading random enemy so the background screen is normal, atleast I think it is)
When do your controls change?
When I enter a save
Do you use mouse?
me? yes
That's hollow knight then
It doesn't keep your mouse binding
You will have to use an external program to set your mouse buttons to a keyboard button, then set that keyboard button to be what you want
Hey guys, I can't install the mod installer
It's because the 1.5? Do I need to downpatch?

I use lmb all the time, never had a problem with it not working
However, if you enter a save, then leave the save the keybinds arent saved. You'll need to change them on the main menu
It's that not literally what they said the problem was?
And my response was a way to permanently fix it?
But why, just change the binds in main menu and you can keep the mouse

hello, i just downloaded the customknight mod but it seems like it doesnt work. I can see the skins in game and select them but nothing change to the knight
what skins are you trying to apply to the knight
are thoes from the white palace skin group? i cant use skins from that group
i think so
aight yeah only skins from the other group will work sadly
idk why white palace ones wont work but for now at least i cant use thoes ones
that's not true
uh
its what i discovered xd
most likely its placed wrong
no of them work for me xd
screenshot how you placed your skins
I placed them in just like the other skins....
help mod installer doesn't work i am sad
same with award i just placed them in like my pure vessel skin
look at the default folder
and pure works but not white palace one
make sure all others match that structure
you likely have an extra folder
which will make it not work
huh
what do i need to do?
oh what leeel my scion doesnt work bc the folder i put in was a folder holding a folder holding the skins xD
oops xD
yes like that
so.. what do i need to do now? xD
i didnt touch the files
screenshot title screen
you don't have modcommon
oh
install modcommon and it should work
it work now thank you
New around here! Just throwing this question out there. With the Sanic mod, is there a way to change how much faster it is making the game? Like instead of 1.5x speeed, could I do 2x?
what do i do if it tells me there is a .NET framework error
when i try to open mod installer
i reverted to 1.4
yes. settings files are in your saves location
Check the pins, there's instructions for almost every error message in there
you could use the timescale feature in debug too
How do you activate debug mode?
was debug updated? if not, timescale is reset when you take dmg
thank you, hopefully i don't have to come back ;-;
i forgot about that
i should update it for 1.5
sanic is the only one then that stays permanent
time to ctrl+c ctrl+v
Lol so do I just have to locate the save on my computer and adjust that parameter within the save file?

Ahhhhh gotcha gotcha thanks! I'll check it out
what is the name for the gun mod in the mod launcher
hollow point
thx
How do you edit the settings file?
open it in notepad
It'll be the GobalSettings.json file right?
Ahhhh perfect! Thanks so much!
guys does modinsstaller work on the new patch yet
no
try again in a month
ok
do the 'art' mods make the text diffrent?
Yes
how disable the text?
Disable the mod
but i need infinet charm notches
Okay
thats all i want
but it doesn't let me disable just the other ones
So uh I got the mod installer but when I load up hollow knight it doesn’t show the mods in the corner and when I try to open my save files none of them show up
I tried uninstalling the mods and reverting to vanilla but it said “unable to locate vanilla hollowknight please verify the integrity of game file and relaunch this installer”
Infinite notches is its own mod
i just saw that im dumb thanks
To fix the problem of mods and saves not loading, go to your save files path and delete all files with global settings in their names. If you want to proceed with making your game vanilla again, go to your steam library, right click hollow knight, click properties, click local files, click verify integrity
Be warned, using infinite notches in a save files makes that file permanently have infinite notches unless you save edit
whenever i try open it

Where did you buy hollow knight from?

Where are you getting confused
I went into local files and have searched through them but can’t find them
The path is right here
Copy paste it into file explorer(or whatever your file browser is)
how do i run the installer as admin
Right click, run as administrator
put your installer on desktop
Amazing conversation

Put the installer on your desktop folder

i tried downpatching to 1.4.3.2 and opening hk through terminal, but that didnt work either.
it just launches and closes again
Are you on Mac?
yes
Hmm
idk how pins help maybe im missing something
Did you follow all the instructions in the first pinned message
well i downpatched
can someone help me pls
Try checking that, maybe you missed something
someone
.-.
which link should i be looking at?
The one under the text saying Mac
but i already downpatched, so should i bring it back to the new patch on steam and then downpatch this way?
Can’t expect the modding staff to always be around
Maybe
which mod can gives you invincibility?
Debug
thanks
mulhima, redfrog and I do as much as mickely, the role doesn't mean much, just that he has sum nice powers
Anyways I’m trying to remember what to do with this error
what error
Been a while since I seen it
^
what is trying to get installed?
gtg
bye
cya
ah sorry my bad
is it fixed?
hmm
so i got the enemy hp bar mod
but it aint showing up in the mods area
in the game
fudge nvm
close the game
does it show up top left?
yes
Can I mod the game if I use the humblebundle version of the exe file due to it automatically being 1.5.68 version of the game? is there a way to downgrade it if its not the steam version?
only steam and GoG are supported sadly
ah then you can
it gives you a steam key i think
?pins
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
either way, you can change the game patch with a humblebundle game
still, steam also works
cuz it's a key for either gog or steam
The humblebundle version I got was not through a key it was through the humble pass thing with all the downloadable games so It just runs into an winrar file when i install it
then ig you'll have to wait untill 1.5 is supported
so for the downpatch on mac do i type and enter step 3 and 4 seppareately? or type them together and enter
Separately
gives me this
Might need to type separately then? Don’t know much about macs
did you download all the files then?
if that file doesn't exist, sounds like it's not on your desktop like the instructions say
or rather, not inside the downpatcher file
i did but ill try again
help hollow knight mods still not working
Please describe your problem in more detail
when I install a mod and open the game this weird icon appears
and later I need to verify the integrity of the game files and re-download it
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
can't see what directory you're in, either type pwd or show the command you typed
so i got this, and when i go to the file path from the doc it has a .bak app instead of a .app
i know i have permision cause im the admin
or the big guy or whatever you call the guy with power
still not working my game
first pin
I tried with the instructions did not worked

What happens when you open the game
Then you didn’t do it
yes I tried
What operating system are you on
seems like you didn't wait for the patch to download
since you said it didn't work about 30 seconds after being told how
do this
. 9 mins actually
I have a question regarding reverting the game back to the older patch so I can play mods, are there any issues that could happen when doing so and can I easily revert the game back to the 1.5 patch when I need to? Also when reverting the game will my save files remain fine or do I have to back them up? Thanks a lot for the help in advance.
Windows
Might want to back up just in case, you can easily revert by doing the instructions again but with switching to the None beta
There’s literally a visual guide
Where?
Windows is the easiest one
Did you look at the message we referred you to multiple times
@waxen lodge
Ah ok that is good to know thanks a lot. If you don't mind me asking do you know how to back up the my save files? If not can you direct me on where to look into it? Thanks again.

It’s like 4 clicks and waiting 2-10 mins
can someone tell me how to get to my save files on mac?
4 messages above you
inputting the mac file paths into the finder doesn't seem to be working
Alright, thanks a lot for the help! I will do that now.
Screenshot finder
Im on mac with m1 and i'm trying to use my wireless xbox controller. I got it connected and checked using a website and all of the inputs are registering. However when I boot up the game it recognizes a controller yet not my inputs. Now there are a couple of things to note. Im on last patch for mod support. Also I do have some mods installed (Benchwarp, Modding API, QoL, and Vasi).
where do I put it into then?
command + shift + g
Mods can have problems with some controllers, might need to use a program like joytokey to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs
still nothing showing up
Click on a finder tab then do command + shift +g
hello I'm new here and interested in collaborating on a mod but I have zero experience... Is this the right place to ask for help/find someone to collaborate with?
nvm, got it
kk, I've found the mods folder, I just don't understand why my game is in vanilla as opposed to mods if my mods are present?
Didn’t you ask to go to your save files path?
could be launching the wrong one (If you have 2 game copies and installer is changing another one). API could have been uninstalled.
use the unix modding api to fix this https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/tag/1.4.3.2-60
as a heads up, I had to downpatch from 1.5
cuz stupid auto update
and someone, I was trying to see if it was still present
Ah ok
I do indeed think my game is launching the wrong one
export PATH=$HOME/dotnets:$PATH
should be
export PATH=$HOME/.dotnet:$PATH
on gethk1432.sh
I just don't know how to switch it back to the original or how to get mods onto the new one.
oh no 
making the change
run export PATH=$HOME/.dotnet:$PATH
then run ./gethk1432.sh again
the script should be fixed now, as well. ty!
kk, when I go to my mods folder and then backtrack to the hollow knight exe to run it. It still attempts to open with steam and then quits. Any idea on what is happening?
did you add steamapp_id.txt
does that work on mac?
the steam installation by default didnt have appid txt for me atleast
I don't think it worked
I'm now for certain that my mods folder is on a different path with the outdated version of the game than the newer one.
after i moved my depot downloaded .app in to the steam apps directory and renamed my 1.5 both of them do work. only one at a time though.
My game auto-updated to 1.5 and I had to go back to 1.4
And I think that's the problem here
maybe this <#archived-modding-help message> ?
I opted into the 1.4.3.2 beta on steam
which will change your main steam install to 1432. if you are putting mods on another game install, that will not affect the one that's getting run
unless you copy all of the modded files to the main steam install location
HAHAHAAAAA
All that work just to realize that I didn't have modding API installed on my modinstaller in the first place. 
Thx for all the help y'all it helped a lot regardless
Does the 1432 beta on steam work for mac's now?
Or are you not on the version of MacOs that requires 64bit?
1432 version works now
okay well, i saw the pinned message about mods, and went to the mod installer to uninstall them to play without mods. now i managed to break something and whenever i try and open hk it just comes up with a unity loading popup and the game doesnt launch? any help pls
if you want to play without mods, just verify game file integrity through steam
how do I get modinstaller to work?
download it, move to desktop, double click it
and be on patch 1432
beyond that, you're going to have to give details
does anybody know how to install hollow point?

Hey, For some reason the mod installer will not open, anyone else have this issue or know how to help?
not without more information
it just wont open, whenever i try to open the app from my desktop it does nothing
the first time i did it it put the auto updater on my desktop, but neither of the two do anything
i don't even know what OS you're on
where'd you get the installer? and when
i dont remember, as i got it a long time ago and I only just now tried to use it again

Anyone have an idea how to make knight sprites appear in sprite packer?
hii, I need help with Custom Knight, I'm doing the right thing but in game I only have this and when I click on the skin's name, it just disappears
what does the easier pantheon practice mod do?
change folder name
change folder name
Wait is renaming custom skins is bad idea?
disables double damage thing in ascended bosses so you can practice p5 without the double damage penalty in hall of gods (i don't think they have attuned hp though, as p5 bosses do)
it shouldn't be, all it does is change the name of the skins as far as i know
oh ok
they do have attuned hp
Can anyone explain why I kept becoming white box with everything white box like masks and hub when I tried to change from default to a custom
and also has settings to add soul lifeblood and health at the start of each fight
like that? it doesnt change anything
do you have modcommon ?
pls can you copy the functions from modcommon and yeet that as a dependancy
why don't we do that with every mod 
1.5 CK is dependency free (except mapi & HK)
make 1.4 ck dependency free as well 🥺
or did you get rid of the 1.4 ck source code?
cuz people lazy
github tags exist lol
i know
i didn't but at this point i don't really plan on updating 1.4 further
i know github branches exist
unless its a game breaking bug
Yoo, anyone know how to use sprite packer?
never heard of it
I decided to repost this video because someone by the name of Akkitty08 sent me an audio file to better explain how to make a skin with SpritePacker and I also add some music because I had forgotten in the previous video.
Thanks to Akkitty08 for sending me the audio file.

Hi, does anyone know how to change font? Id like to change the Perpetua one, which is used for dialogues
My issue with sprite packer is not having the knight appear in first place
i didn't know perpetua was used in hk
i think you need to change the font using coding
I already have a folder with every sprite used for knight
you need to place the sprite folder in the same folder your saves are stored

yes
ok
hi, im new to mods and im tryna mod Hollow knight but I instaled it via xbox game pass and dont know where the file is. If anyone could help I would apreciate it
you cannot mod gamepass
microsoft sucks
Make sure you have mod common, then also make sure your folders for your skin are laid out correctly
oh, ok . thank you
lol
this is why pc will be always superior to every platform
xbox is PC as well, fwiw
all xbox may be pc but all pc are not xbox
My point being, that response
this is why pc will be always superior to every platform
was very silly as a response to someone using the Xbox gamepass version, which is on Windows PC lol
||I only play PC these days, with the exception of Switch; so I'm not disagreeing with the statement, just that it was an odd/incorrect response to the problem||
Do I just put the folder inside the hollow knight folder or is there more folders to dig deeper?
so i have the installer, but the mods arent there and i only have the option to manually install them, which i dont know how to do
alright
did you try to uninstall the installer?
I mean try again to get newest version (1.5 doesnt exist yet or perhaps never idk)
How do i fix this?
check first pin
- What version of Hollow Knight are you using?
- What platform do you have HK on?
- Did you move the Mod Installer out of your Downloads folder?
what does that mean?

no
wait yes actually
its in desktop now
By platform, I mean where did you get it from?
steam
Did you recently move the install or anything?
i uninstalled and reinstalled it to fix the issue with the auto updater
other than that i dont know if i did anything
what error pops up
none pops up, whenever i start the modinstaller i only have the option to manually install things, and im not sure if i was supposed to download something else or not but i dont have any mods there
the installer can't get to only a manually button without you pressing continue on something
@ivory karma
yeah there was a windows message before that now that i think about it, one second for me to get it
hmm
should I name the folder to something?
no it should just work with it named as sprites
okay
have you set the godump to 1.3? im not sure if it matters but i always do
yeah
im not sure then im sorry
okay
ok so when i launch it it tells me that some mods are outdated, and asks if i want to update them. If i say no they reappear after a few seconds, but if i say yes i get this message

I tried to check every video related to sprite packer I could find
rip my dreams
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFIudBIWI1Y&t=2425s is a good general custom skin tutorial
My (arguably too) in-depth tutorial on how to create a Custom Knight skin. Includes: downloading and installing Hollow Knight's ModInstaller and Custom Knight mod, using SpritePacker, using FireAlpaca/art tips, and uploading and properly saving your sprite, plus a much simpler method. Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions!...
they dont cover their charm build tho :<
I already tried that video
what do you need help with?
This
Despite already putting sprites folder inside hollow knight folder
it just refused to work
alright, i don't remember exactly what this error message means, but there are a few possibilities
- your sprites folder might not be in the right directory. there are multiple directories
or - you might be missing newtonsoft.json.dll
I did download the dll too
I placed the dll togther with sprite packer inside a folder
I made sure none else is in it
can you screenshot your file explorer and show me where the sprites folder is?
can you get still achievements when using mods?
yes
o ok
wdym by file explorer?
the app you use to look at files on windows called file explorer

i meant the sprites folder, sorry

its easiest to get there by doing windows key + r, typing %appdata%, navigating back to appdata and then locallow, then team cherry and hollow knight

For some reason whenever I activate the modding api I get this error and the game crashes
pins
Wow, I had no idea that the update broke the modding api. Thx.
can anyone send me something on where to find the information people need to join me when i host the multiplayer mod
hi, im going to ask a question you all have probably been asked before
im having an issue with custom knight on 1.4.3.2 beta patch, and from it none of the textures are loading
ill take a screenshot if needed, i gotta re-open the game, but everything is just a white box on every skin
.
apparently its just... working now
cool
when my friend downpatched to 1.4.3.2 the modding api no longer was enabled, and when trying to enable it in modinstaller it isn't working
My friend and I are trying to use the multiplayer mod and we are stuck in different servers, can someone help?
check the ip that either of you are using? which multiplayer are u using
wait the one that's in mod installer?
yes
because that one's old
should I change?
in pins?
my modloader says to update to a stable patch even tho im fully updated
first pin
rule of thumb, always check pins first
good to know
I didnt get very far and now im stuck
wadda u mean
When im given instructions to do something I get very confused
So basically Im trying to say idk what its telling me to do
ok so do u have the HKMP.dll file?
Can I put it in the HK folder?
you wanna go to you mods folder for Hollow Knighjt
done
path should look something like Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
I did
ok then also make sure to uninstall the other multiplayer mods
I did
and are u using port forwarding or vpn?
To late
yes
yeah u dont need it
ok then
now just open hollow knight and look at the usage section of the github
So start the game
yeah
just in the hollow knight pause menu use the forwarded port.
then make sure you send the correct public ip
So I dont think I ever forwarded it to begin with
I just used my public IP
So I cant access my router
To forward it
Well then I think Im just stupid
Look at the multiplayer procedure in the pins for how to do it with the hamachi vpn
So, create new network, enter my IP, with password then start?
pls help, is that right?
well I messed up and removed 2 computers from my network but I cant delete the network anymore, I dont have access to my own IP network
I mean with hamachi you should just see the ip at the top
I meant the public IP
if you can't port forward then just use hamachi
you can't do public ip unless you port forward
Do I put my private IP at the top as the network then?
then what?
get hamachi and follow the procedure in pins like someone said
god that name really throws me for a loop some times
how do i do multiplayer
thx
whats modcommon?
mod common is in mod installer, and is used for most mods
same
Can someone help with Decoration Mod Master please
I feel you when I tried to use sprite packer for first time
My brain melted from it
I still dont know what to do!
what does the darkness mod do?
excuse me but what ur current issue?
deepnest but no lanturn
also it happens everywhere
oh ok
If you look up, I have been trying to get the multiplayer mod to work for my friend and I and now I dont know if I have the modcommon thing, idk what port to use or how to get one, and my brain feels like jello

rude

There’s a procedure in the pins, you need modcommon, you also need Hamachi, and your port should be 26950
are there any mods that make it easier to practice bosses in the HoG?
like, maybe starting the boss again if you die or something
Yes, it’s called “Easier Pantheon Practice”
starting off in modding, can somebody lead me to which pins have the required tools
doesn't that just give ascended bosses the stats of attuned
Sorry to bother, just downloaded the modinstaller and when I try to run the program it says Hollow Knight needs to be updated to the latest version,,, but it is, can some one guide me to the pertinent information? I am on windows 10 and purchased through Steam.
downgrade to 1.4 via the betas tab
actually let me ask this, are modding API and mod installer separate things?
kek
betas tab in discord or though installer? My apologies
Neither have a betas tab?
in steam
ROGER THAT! Lol thank you
properties>betas
No it makes it so HoG has the options to enable 1 hit, have p5 variants of bosses, life blood, and quickly restarting fights
You mean using or making mods?
ok good thank u
i meant downloading and ive got it sorted out now
its fine
is it really as simple as installing it through the manager and playing?
or do I have to do some stuff with the files manually
It is, but you will need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2, guide in the first pin. No manually changing files except for like, custom knight
Also make sure the installer is on your desktop as keeping it in downloads causes issues
alrighty
Oh also, some mods are a bit more complicated. Make sure to check the readmes
will stuff i do in this version carry over to 1.5 when i revert back?
actually thats a dumb question nvm

Not mod stuff but if you, like beat p5 with debug invincibility then remove mods and go to 1.5 then that’ll stay
I have the mod installer installed but it says it cant find my game files, ive tried reinstalling multiple times and it still wont work
@ me if you know please
nevermind its working now
would any of you guys happen to know how to fix a bug with the hollow point mod? it only lets me fire the gun once every 5 seconds or so, and i have no idea wtf is happening.
Did you launch a save that was made before installing hollowpoint?
no, i made a new one. should I just load it again?
No, you should delete your save, close the game, uninstall HollowPoint, launch the game, make a new save, close the game and reinstall HollowPoint and play on that save
ok, thx!
Is there a way to use custom skins without using any mods? Like replacing the game files?
I messed around with Custom Knight for a while, now there's this dark transparent square in the top right of my screen
How do I get rid of this
what does the additionalmaps mod do?
when i boot hk modded, it shows i have no mods, any help?
That’s from the ModConsole mod, which you shouldn’t need
also, i cant load into any saves
I see, I'll turn that off ty
You downpatched?
Did you do the part about “If mods still aren’t working”?
no, where do i find that?
It adds maps for white palace and godhome
In the first pinned message
How so?
Go over all the steps again
okie
hey uh its asking for a beta access code when i try to revert the game, did i miss something?
All you need to do is set it to 1.4.3.2 and close that menu
oh sick thank you
Hmm, I’m not sure then
- What OS are you on?
- for your original problem: <#archived-modding-help message>
- For your current problem: redo the steps in the "if mods still aren't working" link from the first pin. If you delete the files, then verify Integrity, you should be fine
Howdy! Thank you for the help figuring out mod installer. Works like a charm! I have recently downloaded custom knight, and found the appropriate files from google docs and placed them in the custom knight file in the mods portion, as youtube promptly showed me, however, when I tried to use a skin, the new game file I created was replaced by white boxes for the changed assets. Has anyone experienced this issue?
- do you have the skin folder installed the exact way that the default skin is?
- do you have ModCommon?
what do you mean the excact way the default skin is?
Do it again then 
If it's not opening, then something isn't correct.
Did you ever use mods previously? If not, then you might have a controller issue, in which case you'll need to unplug your controller before starting the game.
I do have modcommon, yes. And, the files all seem to be in the same fashion as the default file.
i did run the mods earlier, i dont know why it wouldnt show mods
And I did p;ug in a controller, does that change things?!?
All skins need to be in paths like this:
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/462200562620825600/856281982215651363/CustomKnight_File_Example.png
If you plugged it in after the game showed the title screen, no
Notice that they go CustomKnight/SkinName and then have the images there
wait no my paths look like that
Possibly try losing a save again, and try to switch back to the default skin
I am realizing there are uneccassary files on some of these skins, that maybe an issue lol
and thank you will try that
Did you do the the stuff in the message I linked? (Delete the global settings files)?
Here
im doing it now, thanks!
Usually extra files don't matter. Incorrectly named ones can, and sometimes extra .zips can mess with mods installer, but not usually with custom Knight afaik
The Killer Whale skin notably is wonky the way it's uploaded iirc
so i guess my next question is do the pictures need to be in the same positioning as shown in the default file?
That would depend on what you mean by positioning
The order of the files themselves is just based on how you're viewing them and have files sorted
Can you post a screenshot of your skin folder, including the file path?
so file path is all matching your pictue, so say inside of default, for example yours says baldur, but my skin file will say knight, do those png files need to be arranged a certain way inside the folder
No
Typically windows sorts alphabetically
And not all skins have all files
I would try seeing if you can switch back to the default skin in game
okay so upon reboot, most of the skins I downloaded worked after getting rid of read me files etc, lol. However deleting the zip folder inside of the whale skin did not fix its problem. It still shows default, but as long as my Tanjiro skin works, Im aaaaaaaaall good!
If you can't, then you may need to edit a custom Knight setting
Thank you so much for the help!!
The whale skin has a few problems iirc
Did you extract the killer whale zip and add it’s files to the skin folder before deleting it?
I messaged TWP a fixed one, but they never updated it 
could it be a certain skin i have?
what dose it mean when it says "this installer requires the most recent stable version to run"

If you have .zips in your mods folder, then yes. Otherwise, it shouldn't break everything, no
thank you
i dont, anyway the game doesnt load in modded?
just loads regular
it doesnt show any mods in the top right
- What version does it say you're playing (bottom left)
- If you go to Options, is there a Mods menu?
I know you're leaving, but I'm tagging you for when you get back:
You're going to need to go back to your saves folder, and delete the two Benchwarp.GlobalSettings files, the same as you deleted the ModdingApi ones.
What....?
I reverted my game back to the 1.4.3.2 version, and everything just fell apart
My geo is gone, I’m missing a mask, I can’t use spells, I can’t dash, I can’t open up the menu, crystal heart is glitched, and almost all of my charms are replaced by these weird textures. Also, when I left Godhome, I couldn’t move.
Then I dreamgated to dirtmouth and now I’m invisible and I can’t move
sounds like you're missing dependencies
What does that mean?
support mods
like modcommon, qol, vasi, serecore, etc
I don't know what mods you even have right now, so I can't really help more
It means that files that mods basically look at to function aren't there.
Try reverting to unmodded and reapplying your mods.
Ok
That’s weird...
I reverted the game to unmodded with the ModInstaller but when I opened up the game it still shows them
Try verifying the integrity of game files
How do I do that
On steam: Steam library > right click hk > properties > localfiles > verify integrity of game files
So what now?
Verifying basically just removes mods so I guess just reinstall em like they said
Ok
Also I just noticed you were missing vasi in this screenshot
So download that?
Along with your other mods yes
does going to a prior version for mods disable steam achievements?
No, I don’t think it does
tyty :]
how do i teleport using mods cause i want to go into the black egg without getting the dreamers
Benchwarp
You can use benchwarp to teleport to any bench
Fwiw, Verifying doesn't remove mods-- it only removes the ModdingAPI, which means that mods don't work. The mods themselves are still there tho
Everything’s fixed now
Oh really?
Thanks
I guess that makes sense
Verifying just looks for differences of the vanilla files. The only vanilla file that's modified is Assembly-csharp, which is the ModdingAPI
So whats the quickest way to remove all mods?
If you want to go to vanilla, then reverting the ModdingAPI file (which is what Verifying does)
If you want to actually remove the mods, then deleting the /Mods folder and Verifying
Oh okay
But, for 99% of cases, just reverting the ModdingAPI would be enough
Mmk thanks
The only reason I brought it up, is because the person won't have to reinstall mods that weren't deleted
Adding the API again will automatically show all the mods again
That being said yeah, the person was missing Vasi lol
Can you elaborate? Is it just not showing up?
the menu is not showing up
Can you send a screenshot of your main menu please
Oh okay
Try going into a save, pausing the game, and pressing f1
Np
Kinda just forgot it was that simple but I guess double checking to make sure there wasn’t a different problem isn’t bad
It is not
first pin
No date afaik. It might be soon or it might take a while. Also mods have to be updated which will add on to the time required
I see
If you want to use mods you should downpatch, guide in the first pin
is there an infinite health mod and what is its name
debug mod
F1
thansk
You can disable them in the debug mod menu
What effects do you mean specifically?
i accidently gliched and my grim charm is gone i said give all charms
So only your grimmchild charm is gone?
Have you beaten radiance yet?
nope
Yes that'll break it
so i need to delete
I haven't used debug in a long time, isn't there an option to give individual charms?
Or is it only give all
i try iindividuel but it does nothin
k
if you've given yourself void heart then edit the save and make the valie "gotshadecharm" = true. for hwo to edit save files check pins
whut
Upload your save file here
https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
void heart may be back but it won't wokr as intended unless you edit save file
how
Go to %appdata%, go up a folder, go to LocalLow, Team Cherry, Hollow Knight, drag and drop user1 to the website
User1/2/3/4
Tf is dusk knight?
A bunch of enemies have OG names still in the files
You can google any of the names, most of them are in the wiki
It's a KingsMould
The Golem was cut, and the Dusk Knight renamed. It's no longer a "boss".
Huh
But aren't there more than one Kingsmould?
Very nice the save file does not mention kingsmould anywhere
Pls help, I reinstalled the mod api (which has worked in the past) but now when I open the game this icon appears for 0.2 seconds, closes, and the game doesn't open
I've tried completely uninstalling the mod api, running as admin, and restarted my pc but it still doesn't open
You need to downpatch, check the first pinned message
What's that screen tho
It pops up for a brief second, several others had the same thing and I’m pretty sure downpatching fixed it for em
Huh
I think it might be from using modinstaller 2 cause it doesnt give you the stable version pop up
nkg ? deafeted
No the charm
Huh
it fine
Ohk then
Np
this has made the game load normally, thank you so much man, still does it when I enable the api again but that's not too much of a worry
I'm assuming this is the api?
Ye

Just make a backup
Depends on the mods you use
EnemyHPBar probably does nothing, but things like EasyMode can really mess your save up
The mod installer itself doesn't do anything.
