#

Why would dwarf not be ok with it?

#

The only problem being that there's a chance you can see random people in the server with you

novel bronze
#

do i enable hkmote?

gloomy coral
#

If you want to

novel bronze
#

what does it do

gloomy coral
#

Plays animation when you press numbers

novel bronze
gloomy coral
#

What more do you want

novel bronze
#

just asking

#

i thought its needed for HKMP

gloomy coral
#

It's not

novel bronze
#

ok

gloomy coral
#

It's a addon

brazen pasture
# novel bronze just that?

it's not mandatory for HKMP but this animation is seen by other players connected to the server, like an emote.

novel bronze
#

it worked but how can we damage each other?

#

???

fair briar
#

Hit each other

#

While in opposite teams

brazen pasture
#

also PvP needs to be enabled & if teams are enabled you need to join different teams

fair briar
#

Teams are enabled

brazen pasture
#

(PvP and teams are enabled on Dwarf's server)

novel bronze
#

how do i enable teams

#

we r on differewnt teams

fair briar
#

Your server or dwarfs server?

novel bronze
#

i hosted a server and my bro joinde

#

joined

fair briar
#

If your server, see host settings

novel bronze
#

ok

#

thx

jolly silo
fair briar
#

seems fun

#

alt+f4

brazen pasture
jolly silo
#

no idea

#

it just happened

#

i was in soul sanctum and then i died and then

brazen pasture
#

okay

#

i've had something similar happen when playing rando3 and trying to use dreamgate / dreamers

jolly silo
#

i died on one save file and when i respawned it was another save file

#

and then the save file duplicated

gloomy coral
#

which mods do you have?

jolly silo
gloomy coral
#

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

jolly silo
#

what now

jolly silo
gloomy coral
#

maybe its a glitch

jolly silo
#

also i was at 110% before?

#

now its only 104%

wheat orchid
weak pawn
#

you mean 104% to 102%

hardy panther
#

Is it possible to install mods if your a console player?

fair briar
#

Nope

hardy panther
fair briar
#

Only steam and GoG

hardy panther
#

Even hollow knight skins?

wheat orchid
#

Those are a mod so no

hardy panther
#

Oh

wheat orchid
#

Plus we can’t really access the files on console for the ones that aren’t actual mods

quartz sandal
#

Why are my keyboard controls always changing?

wheat orchid
#

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)

quartz sandal
#

(its loading random enemy so the background screen is normal, atleast I think it is)

wheat orchid
#

When do your controls change?

quartz sandal
#

When I enter a save

wheat orchid
#

Imma blame moresaves atm

#

Try taking it off and trying again

limber egret
#

Do you use mouse?

quartz sandal
#

me? yes

limber egret
#

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

novel bronze
#

Hey guys, I can't install the mod installer

#

It's because the 1.5? Do I need to downpatch?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

#

Use the first pin

#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
novel bronze
#

oh

#

thanks

fair briar
#

However, if you enter a save, then leave the save the keybinds arent saved. You'll need to change them on the main menu

limber egret
#

It's that not literally what they said the problem was?

#

And my response was a way to permanently fix it?

fair briar
#

But why, just change the binds in main menu and you can keep the mouse

civic gust
#

what skins are you trying to apply to the knight

novel bronze
#

white cloack, lapis lightening or stary knight

#

none of them is working

civic gust
#

are thoes from the white palace skin group? i cant use skins from that group

novel bronze
#

i think so

civic gust
#

idk why white palace ones wont work but for now at least i cant use thoes ones

gloomy coral
novel bronze
#

novel bronze
viral sorrel
#

real jacinth
#

look at the default folder

civic gust
#

and pure works but not white palace one

real jacinth
#

make sure all others match that structure

#

you likely have an extra folder

#

which will make it not work

civic gust
#

huh

novel bronze
#

what do i need to do?

real jacinth
#

what I just said

#

look at default folder. make sure all others match that structure

civic gust
#

oh what leeel my scion doesnt work bc the folder i put in was a folder holding a folder holding the skins xD

#

novel bronze
#

real jacinth
#

novel bronze
#

vast cliff
#

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?

viral sorrel
#

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

real jacinth
#

then you say what the error says

#

and we go from there

real jacinth
limber egret
gloomy coral
vast cliff
real jacinth
#

was debug updated? if not, timescale is reset when you take dmg

viral sorrel
gloomy coral
#

i should update it for 1.5

real jacinth
#

sanic is the only one then that stays permanent

gloomy coral
#

time to ctrl+c ctrl+v

real jacinth
#

could just take the code

#

yeah

vast cliff
#

Lol so do I just have to locate the save on my computer and adjust that parameter within the save file?

real jacinth
#

not the save

i think i might have fixed it

#

cya

fair briar
#

is it fixed?

novel bronze
#

hmm

#

so i got the enemy hp bar mod

#

but it aint showing up in the mods area

#

in the game

#

fudge nvm

fair briar
#

close the game

novel bronze
#

i did

#

i got the mod

#

and re opened

#

it

fair briar
novel bronze
#

yes

jovial flint
#

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?

fair briar
#

only steam and GoG are supported sadly

real jacinth
#

humble bundle gives you a GoG key

#

you can change the patch using GoG galaxy

fair briar
#

ah then you can

vernal rain
#

it gives you a steam key i think

fair briar
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
real jacinth
#

either way, you can change the game patch with a humblebundle game

fair briar
#

still, steam also works

real jacinth
#

cuz it's a key for either gog or steam

jovial flint
#

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

fair briar
#

then ig you'll have to wait untill 1.5 is supported

jovial flint
#

No worries

#

thanks for the support

gray cipher
#

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?

could be launching the wrong one (If you have 2 game copies and installer is changing another one). API could have been uninstalled.

did you add steamapp_id.txt

real jacinth
#

does that work on mac?

gloomy coral
#

idk

#

doesnt hurt to try?

brazen pasture
#

the steam installation by default didnt have appid txt for me atleast

real jacinth
#

because it shouldn't

#

the appid txt file is to have multiple installs

teal umbra
#

I don't think it worked

real jacinth
#

but that's a windows thing afaik

#

mac might be relegated to only 1

teal umbra
#

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.

brazen pasture
#

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.

teal umbra
#

My game auto-updated to 1.5 and I had to go back to 1.4

#

And I think that's the problem here

brazen pasture
teal umbra
#

I opted into the 1.4.3.2 beta on steam

real jacinth
#

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

teal umbra
#

HAHAHAAAAA

#

All that work just to realize that I didn't have modding API installed on my modinstaller in the first place. feelspkman

if you want to play without mods, just verify game file integrity through steam

make 1.4 ck dependency free as well 🥺
or did you get rid of the 1.4 ck source code?

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?

honest flax
#

never heard of it

Not too surprised

#

It is used by artists to create custom skins

# slim mountain Yoo, anyone know how to use sprite packer?

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

honest flax
#

i didn't know perpetua was used in hk

#

i think you need to change the font using coding

slim mountain
#

I already have a folder with every sprite used for knight

ivory karma

you need to place the sprite folder in the same folder your saves are stored

this is why pc will be always superior to every platform

pliant lantern
#

xbox is PC as well, fwiw

slim mountain
#

all xbox may be pc but all pc are not xbox

pliant lantern
#

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||

slim mountain
ivory karma
#

like this

#

so yeah in the hollow knight folder

novel bronze
#

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

slim mountain
#

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)

fringe perch
#

How do i fix this?

slim mountain

#

no

#

wait yes actually

#

its in desktop now

pliant lantern
#

By platform, I mean where did you get it from?

novel bronze
#

steam

pliant lantern
#

Did you recently move the install or anything?

novel bronze
#

i uninstalled and reinstalled it to fix the issue with the auto updater

#

other than that i dont know if i did anything

real jacinth
#

what error pops up

novel bronze
#

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

real jacinth
#

the installer can't get to only a manually button without you pressing continue on something

slim mountain
#

@ivory karma

novel bronze
#

yeah there was a windows message before that now that i think about it, one second for me to get it

ivory karma
#

hmm

slim mountain
#

should I name the folder to something?

ivory karma
#

no it should just work with it named as sprites

slim mountain
#

okay

ivory karma
#

have you set the godump to 1.3? im not sure if it matters but i always do

slim mountain
#

yeah

ivory karma
#

im not sure then im sorry

slim mountain
#

okay

novel bronze
#

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

novel bronze
#

finally got it to work, thanks for helping everyone!

stone bane
#

self explanatory question

slim mountain
#

check the top pinned msg

stone bane
#

ok

#

thanks

slim mountain
#

your welcome

#

welp

#

I tried to check every video related to sprite packer I could find

#

rip my dreams

vernal rain
#

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 :<

slim mountain
#

I already tried that video

sand tide
#

what do you need help with?

slim mountain
#

Despite already putting sprites folder inside hollow knight folder

#

it just refused to work

sand tide
#

alright, i don't remember exactly what this error message means, but there are a few possibilities

  1. your sprites folder might not be in the right directory. there are multiple directories
    or
  2. you might be missing newtonsoft.json.dll
slim mountain
#

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

sand tide
#

can you screenshot your file explorer and show me where the sprites folder is?

grand quarry
#

can you get still achievements when using mods?

vernal rain
#

yes

grand quarry
#

o ok

slim mountain
#

not all achievements

#

esp if ur using randomizer

sand tide
#

the app you use to look at files on windows called file explorer

slim mountain
#

oh nvm yeah right

#

I realized a second later

sand tide
#

np lol

slim mountain

#

i meant the sprites folder, sorry

For some reason whenever I activate the modding api I get this error and the game crashes

vernal rain

brisk cove
#

Wow, I had no idea that the update broke the modding api. Thx.

merry cove
#

can anyone send me something on where to find the information people need to join me when i host the multiplayer mod

slim mountain
#

More like the mods aren't ready for 1.5 hk yet

#

but I am not too concered about it

junior idol
#

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

slim mountain
#

oh same

#

I have the same issue

#

;-;

#

This is fine being ignored

small rain
#

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

hushed jolt
#

My friend and I are trying to use the multiplayer mod and we are stuck in different servers, can someone help?

small rain
#

check the ip that either of you are using? which multiplayer are u using

hushed jolt
#

I have client and server, he just has client

#

I was looking at a steam page for it

small rain
#

wait the one that's in mod installer?

hushed jolt
#

yes

small rain
#

because that one's old

hushed jolt
#

should I change?

small rain
#

and there is an arguably better mod

#

yeah here

hushed jolt
#

in pins?

small rain
novel bronze
#

my modloader says to update to a stable patch even tho im fully updated

real jacinth
#

first pin

novel bronze
#

ok thank you

#

i just got here so thanks

small rain
#

rule of thumb, always check pins first

novel bronze
#

good to know

hushed jolt
#

I didnt get very far and now im stuck

small rain
#

wadda u mean

hushed jolt
#

When im given instructions to do something I get very confused

#

So basically Im trying to say idk what its telling me to do

small rain
#

ok so do u have the HKMP.dll file?

hushed jolt
#

I downloaded the HK modding master file

#

I dont see a .dll

small rain
#

that will download a dll. keep track of where you put it

hushed jolt
#

Can I put it in the HK folder?

small rain
#

you wanna go to you mods folder for Hollow Knighjt

hushed jolt
#

done

small rain
#

path should look something like Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

hushed jolt
#

I did

small rain
#

ok then also make sure to uninstall the other multiplayer mods

hushed jolt
#

I did

small rain
#

and are u using port forwarding or vpn?

hushed jolt
#

What do I do with the Hollow Knight modding master file

#

port forwarding

small rain
#

you dont need the master file

#

well wait

hushed jolt
#

To late

small rain
#

you mean from the clone button on the github right

#

whatever

hushed jolt
#

yes

small rain
#

yeah u dont need it

hushed jolt
#

ok then

small rain
#

now just open hollow knight and look at the usage section of the github

hushed jolt
#

Usage section of github?

#

where do I check that

small rain
#

ok just in hollow knight pause menu

#

use the port that you port forwarded

hushed jolt
#

So start the game

small rain
#

yeah

#

just in the hollow knight pause menu use the forwarded port.

#

then make sure you send the correct public ip

hushed jolt
#

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

wheat orchid
#

That doesn’t work

#

To use your public ip you need to port forward

hushed jolt
#

Well then I think Im just stupid

wheat orchid
#

Look at the multiplayer procedure in the pins for how to do it with the hamachi vpn

hushed jolt
#

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

small rain
#

I mean with hamachi you should just see the ip at the top

hushed jolt
#

I meant the public IP

small rain
#

if you can't port forward then just use hamachi

#

you can't do public ip unless you port forward

hushed jolt
#

Do I put my private IP at the top as the network then?

small rain
#

if you're hosting sure

#

actually no

hushed jolt
#

then what?

small rain
#

get hamachi and follow the procedure in pins like someone said

#

god that name really throws me for a loop some times

pastel snow
#

how do i do multiplayer

small rain
pastel snow
#

thx

hushed jolt
#

whats modcommon?

small rain
#

mod common is in mod installer, and is used for most mods

hushed jolt
#

Did I already get it?

#

Im so lost

pastel snow
#

same

rugged cairn
#

Can someone help with Decoration Mod Master please

hushed jolt
#

GAAAAH Im so lost

#

Why is this thing so difficult to figure out

slim mountain
#

I feel you when I tried to use sprite packer for first time

#

My brain melted from it

hushed jolt
#

I still dont know what to do!

toxic niche
#

what does the darkness mod do?

slim mountain
#

excuse me but what ur current issue?

slim mountain
#

also it happens everywhere

toxic niche
#

oh ok

hushed jolt
# slim mountain excuse me but what ur current issue?

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

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.

dusk nexus
tranquil spear
#

actually let me ask this, are modding API and mod installer separate things?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

#

The installer installs the api though

tranquil spear

#

betas tab in discord or though installer? My apologies

#

Oh ok

#

I thought you meant making

tranquil spear
#

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

native ice
tranquil spear
#

yeah I already downgraded

#

this is alot easier than rain world modding zote

native ice
#

Also make sure the installer is on your desktop as keeping it in downloads causes issues

tranquil spear
#

alrighty

native ice
tranquil spear
#

will stuff i do in this version carry over to 1.5 when i revert back?

#

actually thats a dumb question nvm

Is there a way to use custom skins without using any mods? Like replacing the game files?

How do I get rid of this

#

it still doesnt work

Hmm, I’m not sure then

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?

pliant lantern
vague hound
#

what stable patch do i need to be on?

#

for mod installer

fringe perch
pliant lantern
quiet mauve
#

I do have modcommon, yes. And, the files all seem to be in the same fashion as the default file.

fringe perch
quiet mauve
#

And I did p;ug in a controller, does that change things?!?

quiet mauve
#

OOOOHHHHHH

#

Shoot

wheat orchid
pliant lantern
quiet mauve
#

wait no my paths look like that

pliant lantern
quiet mauve
#

I am realizing there are uneccassary files on some of these skins, that maybe an issue lol

#

and thank you will try that

pliant lantern
fringe perch
#

im doing it now, thanks!

pliant lantern
#

The Killer Whale skin notably is wonky the way it's uploaded iirc

quiet mauve
#

so i guess my next question is do the pictures need to be in the same positioning as shown in the default file?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

#

If you mean folder structure, yes

pliant lantern
#

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?

quiet mauve
#

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

pliant lantern
#

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

quiet mauve
#

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!

pliant lantern
quiet mauve
#

Thank you so much for the help!!

pliant lantern
#

The whale skin has a few problems iirc

wheat orchid
#

Did you extract the killer whale zip and add it’s files to the skin folder before deleting it?

pliant lantern
#

I messaged TWP a fixed one, but they never updated it grubsad

fringe perch
#

could it be a certain skin i have?

sullen escarp
#

what dose it mean when it says "this installer requires the most recent stable version to run"

#

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

real jacinth
#

sounds like you're missing dependencies

unreal sparrow
#

What does that mean?

real jacinth
#

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

earnest kestrel
#

It means that files that mods basically look at to function aren't there.
Try reverting to unmodded and reapplying your mods.

unreal sparrow
#

Ok

#

That’s weird...

#

I reverted the game to unmodded with the ModInstaller but when I opened up the game it still shows them

native ice
unreal sparrow
#

How do I do that

native ice
unreal sparrow
#

It’s still going

#

Ok it’s done

unreal sparrow
#

So what now?

native ice
unreal sparrow
#

Ok

native ice
unreal sparrow
#

So download that?

native ice
#

Along with your other mods yes

I guess that makes sense

pliant lantern
# native ice Oh really?

Verifying just looks for differences of the vanilla files. The only vanilla file that's modified is Assembly-csharp, which is the ModdingAPI

native ice
#

So whats the quickest way to remove all mods?

pliant lantern
#

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

native ice
#

Oh okay

pliant lantern
#

But, for 99% of cases, just reverting the ModdingAPI would be enough

native ice
#

Mmk thanks

pliant lantern
#

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

nimble swift
#

Debug mod isnt working

#

I have it enabled

Can you elaborate? Is it just not showing up?

one sec

Oh okay

ok

it works thanks

Kinda just forgot it was that simple but I guess double checking to make sure there wasn’t a different problem isn’t bad

Umm

#

Is the modinstaller not compatible with the current patch?

It is not

vernal rain

lament sorrel
#

oh

#

Any idea when the updated version will be released then?

native ice
#

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

lament sorrel
#

I see

native ice

If you want to use mods you should downpatch, guide in the first pin

lament sorrel

Nah

#

I'm good

limber egret

desert saffron
#

thansk

desert saffron
#

how do i reverse the effects of the debug mod do i simply delete

#

or close

haughty quiver
#

You can disable them in the debug mod menu

#

What effects do you mean specifically?

desert saffron
#

i accidently gliched and my grim charm is gone i said give all charms

haughty quiver
#

So only your grimmchild charm is gone?

desert saffron
#

void heart too

#

will that break the game??

haughty quiver
#

Have you beaten radiance yet?

desert saffron
#

nope

haughty quiver
#

Yes that'll break it

desert saffron
#

so i need to delete

haughty quiver
#

I haven't used debug in a long time, isn't there an option to give individual charms?

#

Or is it only give all

desert saffron
#

i try iindividuel but it does nothin

haughty quiver
#

Huh

#

Maybe try save and quitting, and then try again?

desert saffron
#

k

gloomy coral
# desert saffron void heart too

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

desert saffron
#

whut

haughty quiver
desert saffron
#

op void heart is back but grim is still gone

#

yey grim is back to thank you guys

gloomy coral
#

void heart may be back but it won't wokr as intended unless you edit save file

desert saffron
#

how

haughty quiver
#

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?

limber egret
#

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

haughty quiver
#

Hmm

#

Interesting

#

It doesn't seem to be related to anything at all

gloomy coral
#

dont try to make sense of it

#

trust me

haughty quiver
#

Kekw

#

It says defeated true tho

#

Imma stop asking questions

limber egret
#

It's a KingsMould

#

The Golem was cut, and the Dusk Knight renamed. It's no longer a "boss".

haughty quiver
#

Huh

#

But aren't there more than one Kingsmould?

#

Very nice the save file does not mention kingsmould anywhere

desert saffron
#

i didnt touch any fikes and the void heart is working .-.

#

files

haughty quiver
#

Good for you then

#

What about grimm?

mint thunder
#

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

native ice
haughty quiver
#

What's that screen tho

native ice
haughty quiver
#

Huh

native ice
#

I think it might be from using modinstaller 2 cause it doesnt give you the stable version pop up

desert saffron
haughty quiver
#

No the charm

desert saffron
#

it fine

haughty quiver
#

Ohk then

desert saffron
#

oh btw thank you so much

#

i thought my 50 hour play through was gone

#

#

I'm assuming this is the api?

Latest one

#

Or did someone say that already

haughty quiver
#

Just make a backup

#

Depends on the mods you use

#

EnemyHPBar probably does nothing, but things like EasyMode can really mess your save up

limber egret
#

The mod installer itself doesn't do anything.
