F.
Yes but i don't want to go back so i will wait (i don't speak english sorry)
Right click open with and choose notepad or something
thanks
doesnt work
idk maybe im just dumb
it says "cast to swap between gun and nail"
but it doesnt swap
Continue reading. There's a section about how to set up a file for the first time
it says i just need a legit copy of hk + modcommon + hollow point, i have all 3, what am i doing wrong?
ah fuck i just realized, when i deleted the ModdingApi.GlobalSettings files my mods got uninstalled
i have all 3 and it doesnt work
that doesnt make sense
what did i do wrong
i fixed the loading thing but theres just
no mods
there was before i fixed the loading thing
.
aaaaaand now its back to loading
.
deleted the things again and its back to no mods
i got claw/spirit in kings pass and claw/quick slash 3 rooms later i do not want to lose this seed
hey guys. After installing modinstaller on mac, i watched this video on how to get it to work. I clicked manage game files and opened it from there, and it doesn't seem to work for me. Any ideas?
in this video i will show you how you can install mods for hollow knight on a Windows and/or Mac os Computer using Mod-installer!
Free and safe
Link to the official Hollow Knight discord sever: https://discord.com/invite/hollowknight
link to the mod Summaries: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cz5tcggpGofrBcM90XyTkMWjMelDHzugvQM6HpB13Ew/edit...
wdym
and just double click it
ok i think i got it to work
it says "modding ai enabled. out of date!"
is it supposed to be out of date
click the orange box
im going to have to lose my seed arent i
The readme describes something about how it doesn't work on a new file. Find that section.
Thanks but i already got it
Do the "save files just saying loading" fix
Did you then run the mod installer again?
yeah
i even disabled/enabled everything
im not uninstalling because that would get rid of my seed im pretty sure
It would not, FWIW
So long as your save file remains it will be fine
Screenshot your mod installer for me
Check the pins for the bench warp fix
I used to have a pirated version and now that I buy the game I don't know how to change the route. How do I do it?
Did you check for that fix though?
no, but ill try
Because the problem is what you are describing
how to reset the installer?
so would i just delete all of the mod folders?
since none of my mods are loading
(not just benchwarp)

No, there is a specific fix for Benchwarp doing this
so i only need to fix benchwarp?
ok i only deleted the
benchwarp ones
ok that worked it looks like
yep , thanks

im on mac
latest one
So i was playing modded just fine last night, I woke up today and when i went to get on I had to reinstall Hollow Knight on steam and now none of my mods are working, I downpatched and tried reinstalling the mods as well
Because once you reinstall/verify game files the modding api gets snapped out of existence
Try installing modding api again by opening modinstaller
I did
Follow this guide then?
all my mods are still in there and moddingAPI redownladed itself when i opened it

how do i download the files in the doc to desktop
my hollow knight still has a mods option in it yet they dont work?
can you right click, and then see if there's a download option? I'm not familiar with Mac
no i dont have that option because google docs suck
i can open the link but it says option not found
like the doc or what youre trying to download?
apparently im supposed to use this to downgrade hollow knight
there are a series of links i have to move to desktop, but it doesnt give me an option to download them
Does anyone have this bug where sometimes taking hits with debug mod installed (invincibility off) might deal zero damage?
you dont need to download anything to downpatch HK, just right click the game in steam -> properties -> betas -> 1.4.3.2 beta
im assuming this is properties for hollow knight not steam itself?
lmao
ok so i reverted to that version, then put team cherry's code into terminal so that the game would actually launch. For some reason the mod option isnt popping up in my game. Am I doing something wrong?
the modinstaller tells me it needs the most recent stable version to run, what do i need to download?
you dont need to download anything to downpatch HK, just right click the game in steam -> properties -> betas -> 1.4.3.2 beta
ty!
hollow knight just updated 3 days ago or something so the modinstaller is outdated
I see
did you enable the mods..?
i've got modinstaller enabled and downgraded the version, but the mods option doesnt show up in options
i have "art mods" enabled. I have no clue what it does
lol
im sorry im completely new to all things mods

hi guys how do I install mods in the new version of hollow knight ❤️ love america
currently not
AFFFF
That was 3 days ago tf
hello, i have a question. Me and my friends are going to play in a server, but we dont know how to create a hamachi network
can someone explain me?
please
In hamachi, click network, click create network, name your network, give it a password, done
TY!
hey, i cant seem to get the kakyoin noriaki skin to work, apparently theres a different way to install it than the rest of the skins but i cant figure out how
Screenshot the skin
?
can i get all maps with a mod somehow?
Screenshot the files that you've downloaded and I'll see if I can figure out how to do it
You might be able to use Randomapmod
But that's kind of a guess
doesnt work without rando mod
If you download QoL mod then open a save, it will create a JSON file. You can open that in notepad or something similar and you can edit various things, which should include which maps you have
i cant just download the zipped file with the images, unzip it and put it into my custom knight folder like the other skins ive done
Inside the zip is there a series of folders that eventually lead to some
a regular skin? If so you can just use just those files to use it as a regular skin. The rest of the files will change other things about it
When you unzip you can just copy the folder which should be named "hollow_Knight_data" and paste it in the same place as the folder of the same name
the files inside once unzipped is globalgamemanagers.assets, resources.assets, and a bunch of files called sharedassets.assets
Put those in the hollow_knight_Data folder
Please be aware that this will permanently change your game
i cant just use the skin like the others?
Are there no folders that eventually lead to a folder called "custom Knight"?
If not, then no
i see. i guess i wont use it then, thanks for the help anyway
It won’t permanently change the game, just until you either reinstall or verify the files of the game
one more thing, how can i re find the hollow night mod app on my pc? its not anywhere on my desktop
The mod installer?
ya
It’s wherever you downloaded it to
help, i downloaded modinstaller, when i opened it attempted to update randomizer 3, but then appeared an error message saying "Unchecked exception in the application. Click continue to skip the error. If you click cancel the application will close immediately. The sequence does not contain any matching elements."
i thought it would be in my hollow knight folfer somewhere
continue opens a modinstaller with the only option "manually" if i click, requests a location
Likely it will be in downloads
it was, thanks! dont know why i didnt think of that.
Look in the pins

i followed the instructtions and mod installer now says that it needs the most recent and stable version
the latest pin contains information
how do I install multiple mods without using the mod installer? Like downloads from nexus.
Nexus

First message ever pinned
I just spent a minute looking for a pin by eelver
okay so I was doing things right. They're just not working I guess
:derp:because I downloaded the wrong version.
Witch mod has any radiance in it?
any radiance
You can find any radiance downlaod in the pins
Thx
i need to change my debug menu hotkey but dont know how
Hey guys, I'm new to mods and kinda stuck with debug mod - It works, kinda. I can set up respawn point but after dying it resets to previous bench also game gets frozen when I click "respawn" while menu open. Are those common problems? Couldnt find much about them in net
There's a key binds panel
I don't think you understand what respawn point is meant to do
It sets the hazard respawn point not death respawn point
Unless you do some wizardry the games gonna put you on the last bench when you die
Ah I see, but i still cant use it, game is frozen after i click respawn while in menu xd
Also making the game do stuff to the player while game paused isn't good idea
Why would you want to click respawn when game is paused?
What do you want respawn s for?
I was looking for somthing to setup my spawn point anywhere im kinda short on time and backtracking is killing me :v
Maybe benchwarp is the mod your looking for
It allows you to warp to benches and rooms when you want
That's the mod most people use to make backtracking less of a pain
O thanks, I'll check it out
I hate to butt in here, but would anyone happen to know if there's any mods that conflict with Hollow Point? The game says that Q is supposed to do something, but I haven't been able to get it to work.
Reload save and try again
I've already done so. I had some mods enabled, but I've since disabled them. Do I have to start a new game?
I hope that isn't the case
hello guys, im from spain, somebody is from spain?
I've been having trouble loading the Mod Installer. I've been trying to open it, but all it says is that the game patch isn't up to date, but it is. I've reinstalled both HK and Installer and nothing worked.

Oh damn it sorry
I was playing with mods just fine yesterday, but when i went to go to steam and play it today i had to reinstall hollow knight and after reinstalling the mods no longer work. Its still downpatched and the modding API is reinstalled as well as the mods but they just dont work
On the main menu, open the options menu, and tell me if there's a tab called "Mods" please
there is
the mods also show up in the mods folder in the directory
Mmk, then this would be your fix, specifically the part about "Benchwarp Fix" at the bottom #archived-modding-help message
so the benchwarp fix works for the other mods as well?
It's not just for fixing benchwarp, it specifically fixes an error caused by benchwarp that makes it so none of the mods seem to work
ive never used the benchwarp mod
Well it is a dependency for Randomizer and something else I think, so it might've been installed automatically. But just to be safe, you might wanna just delete everything that has "globalsettings" in the save files
so in the appadata directory?
Yea
does that mean i will have to reinstall all other mods
Nope
It's just the globalsettings file, which is for customizing the mod and saves keybinds and such
The actual mods are still there and will start working once you delete the benchwarp.globalsettings file
i dont have the benchwarp mod, so would i just delete all the others?
Try it
okay, i will try it when i get the chance soon
Wait, how do you know you don't have benchwarp?
I just tried to install mods after not using them for a while, and when i enable the modding api the game just crashes every time
Nevermind i just looked at the pinned message
Also, if it's been a while make sure to delete your old installer and redownload it from here to make sure it's up-to-date
Yep i did that while trying to fix the problem, i had no idea the newest version was incompatible
Okay so I just installed the modloader and lightbringer, but now when I try to launch hollow knight it takes me to a black screen then disappears.
Did I do something wrong?
Did you downpatch?
Oh I have to downpatch the actual game? to what version?
Look at the pinned message it's pretty easy to do
thanks
hey, I am trying to play multiplayer with someone but they dont see me moving, even after following the steps in pinned, is there anything else that can cause and hopefully fix it?
You restarted a few times?
yes we both did including hamachi
i have never installed it
and ive been in the appdata directory a few times and never seen benchwarp
Okay, well check a couple things then. First, make sure that bothplayers, have modcommon, and multiplayer client, but only the host has mutliplayer server. Second, double check hamachi, make sure that neither user has a red circle or a yellow warning triangle. Third, ensure that both players are using the ipv4 address, the port as 26950 and that the host connects to their own server first. If none of that works, then it may be better to use a different multiplayer mod called "Hollow Knight Multiplayer" or HKMP, it's apparently more stable and just better overall but not on the installer yet https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
Have you installed Randomizer 3?
im on my first playthrough and i did not wanna ruin it so no
okay, thank you a lot! we will try that
uninstalling all the globalsettings seem to have worked, so thanks a bunch river
Do I have to completely uninstall mods for HollowPoint to work? I've disabled all the ones I think might be messing with them, but I still can't cast a single spell.
Do you have any spells?
Uhh, well the vengeful spirit isn't a thing in hollow point
You need to have spells, and then you also need to have Adrenaline
I just downpatched and enabled the api and my files arent loading?
I've tested in the base game and in the godseeker mode and in the debug mode, but pressing Q like the game told me to do isn't doing anything. I can try again, there wasn't a way to spawn any enemies in godhome, but I've been trying in the base game as well with no luck.
And yes, I do have a single spell in my regular file, and I had every spell in my debug file.
Did you try the part about "If mods still aren't working" in the first pin?
No, I wanted to spawn enemies in godhome so I could actually get the adrenaline I need to cast spells without going into the pantheons
I wanted to be somewhere I could quickly alter my charm loadout
Then leave godhome and go to the flukemungas or somethin
I did
I can't leave godhome in godseeker mode, it was a new file, but just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, I started another new file, gave myself the fireball spell, and acquired adrenaline, and still I couldn't seem to activate anything. I also made sure to sit at the dirtmouth bench to see if abilities can't be activated without a conversion kit
Did you exit the save, exit the game, then open the game and open the save? Hollow point glitches right after creating a save, so you need to restart the game after creating a new save
I'm getting an error with Assembly-CSharp.dll failing to load. For context I haven't modded Hollow Knight before and am new to it. I have the modlog if needed.
What mod did you install
Benchwarp, Additional Maps, Controller Vibration, Grassy Knight, More Saves. These installed on their own: SereCore, SFCore, ModCommon, and Assembly-CSharp.
Fireball isn't a spell, it's just there. The only spells that work are dive or shriek
Vengeful spirit is a passive buff in hollow point
If you mean the ModdingApi, then if you’re getting that message at the top left then it’s already installed
I missed one, Cheap Charms.
.
I think that came with Cheap Charms then.
Did you get it from nexus mods
Yep..
Everything on there is extremely outdated
Only get mods from mod installer
There’s a mod that makes charms cheaper on the installer called “easy mode”
Configurable?
It also includes deleting your shade
Wdym
If I don't want all of the features that come with the mod?
Tmk there is no configuration for it
This worked! Thank you!
I think I jumped around files to test it so I never tested it in my original file for a second time
You can just edit the charm notch requirements in your save file though(yes, for some reason you can do this)
I'll look up how to do that
I can direct you here
Wait really the charm notch requirements are save data?
That's so weird
Also my mods still arent working. Downloading the api just gives me blank save slots that i cant use

Modding help
I’ve uninstalled the mod installer and don’t wanna reinstall it
Have your dog reinstall it
Was hoping for a better sales pitch but ok
no need to reinstall the modinstaller, because there is nothing to install the installer for, as the installer only installs the modding api and doesn't need to be installed itself
hope it wasn't clear
Mod Installer is very convenient to discover mods, and get started with modding.
Mod Installer is definitely not needed if you know what you're doing, and are comfortable with swapping files around on a computer.
in any case
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
what does it mean when the installer says it needs a stable patch of hollow knight? my game is up to date.

Okay, well do a couple things then, first, double check that both players, have mod common, and multiplayer server, but only the host should have the multiplayer server, second check hamachi and ensure that neither user has a red circle or a yellow warning triangle. And finally, ensure that both players are using the hosts ipv4, the port is set to 26950, and that the host connects before the client
Also, I recommend you use a different multiplayer mod called Hollow Knight Multiplayer or HKMP, it's apparently more stable, works better, and has it's own support server, though it's not on the modinstaller yet so you'll have to install it manually https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
i have installed mods, but the mod screen does not appear when i boot up the game. Any help?
Can you send a screenshot of your main menu?
Just your entire menu
Well I'll leave the answer here for you. Open the options menu, if you see a tab labelled "Mods" then the following fix is for you: Click on this link, it will take you to instructions to fix the problem, specifically you will need to do the part labelled "Benchwarp Fix", #archived-modding-help message.
If you do not see a mods tab, then you should follow the instructions in the part labelled "If mods still aren't working" located in the first pinned message
drpc isnt working for me, and neither is the download to get it manually
specifically, where are the x86 and x86_64 files located?
downloaded via modinstaller btw
Did you check the readme? You need to follow some extra steps. And what x86 and x86_64 files??
I just typed it out
I cant use desolate dive on my PC, is there a fix to this?
Hi 😦
i typed the link into my browser and it wasnt working before lol
I m here because I was told people here have a good understanding of the game
are you playing with mods
My game keeps crashing and I cannot play for more than 10 minutes
Well I'd avoid using desolate dive on your pc that's likely to break it
but really, I'm not sure what you mean
What kind of crash?
Unity crash
The Hollow Knight appears with a red mark and the game closes
I have Steam vanilla version
I press the E and down key like the game tells me to but the command doesnt go through and I spent a long time trying to defeat the boss to get the skill and its not working
I also got the achievement badge so I know the game registered it
where do you put files for custom knight again?
Well that usually happens with mods, but try downpatching to version 1.4.3.2, guide in the pins
Hold the down key then press 'E', and make sure you have atleast 1/3rd of the soul bar
yup tried that right now and it didnt work
also tried restarting the game, restarting the computer and still the same issue
Steam/steamapps/Common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/Custom Knight for windows and steam, make sure the file has the same layout as default
uh im on mac
I want to be sure about something @native ice
Does Steam save the files on the cloud?
I mean, if I lose my data will I be able to find the files at the cloud?
Oh woops, well I can't remember the exact path, I think it's like Hollow Knight/Hollow Knight application\contents/data/resources/managed/mods/custom knight though I'm not sure exactly
ok
Does anyone know how to fix the problem with the desolate dive command on pc ?
Steam does save stuff on the cloud but I believe for some reasons it doesn't always work. If you want to be safe you can always back up your save data and put it somewhere online, such as a private discord or a google drive or something
Okey, thanks for the advice
Does vengeful spirit work for you?
yes
I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work, you're holding the down direction, and pressing the cast button?
Can someone help me install HollowKnightDRPC? Im having trouble understanding the instructions and its still giving me an error. Do I have to have the discord app for it to work?
Well what's the error and what part of the instructions is confusing
Goodbye hahaha
lemme find it rq
Stand still, hold the down arrow, and tap cast and make sure you have enough soul to cast it. If that's not it then I can't think of anything else. Maybe try changing your keybind for casting spells?
shoot completely forgot where the modlog is
It's in your saves folder
ok thank you
wait lemme try reopening
And now a BSOD
?
It is kinda strange
there isnt an error in the logs, its just waiting for something to be detected i think
The game crashed around 5 times and then a BSOD
Not sure what a BSOD is
Blue Screen of Death
"Death"
oh i see
The blue screen with a : (
Well what have you done so far?
ive installed the mods, put things in their correct folders, make the discord app, and nothings working
made*
Do you have modcommon?
[INFO]:[HollowKnightDRPC] - Initializing
[INFO]:[HollowKnightDRPC] - Establishing Discord RPC...
thats all it says about DRPC in the logs
yes
my other mods are working btw
Can you screenshot where you put the files?
I think that you do need the app
i just downloaded it, so idk
THe app does a lot of things related to games that the browser client doesn't support
oh nvm it is working in app
uh, not showing up on my end. Did you close the browser?

nah, you can ez fix by unlocking all and warping to benches you know youve been to though

oh okie thanks
i cannot find the saves folder in that location
Screenshot where you went to
i can't find a Steam folder in Program Files x86 period
That's your game files not your save files anyway
There's two file paths for each OS in that message; you want saves not game
find the %APPDATA% one
ah,
j type it in run
np
Type %appdata% into your address bar, then go up one folder. Then follow the rest of that file path

how do i change my hp using debug mod?
wouldn't it say how in the readme in the hollow knight steam folder?
I don't think so
damn
It might not be an option but let me double check, you may need to use the save editor
I don't think the one on Mod Installer has it. There's a newer version that Mulhima has linked before, that lets you bind a button to "add mask" though
oh okay, can i make myself invincible?
You can change it using the save editor though
You can
how do i do that
It's under the "cheats" thing at the top
Have a click around and see what you can do
ohh thanks for the help
idk why or how but somehow menudropping into the water in distant village (doing randomizer with no other mods aside from the ones that come with it) made it so I can't open any menus (on keyboard or controller) how does this happen
like i had to close the game from the taskbar (couldn't get out of the water, no wings or claw)
Probably just don't menu drop into water
good idea 😂
I think that might be a vanilla glitch but I'm not sure
trying to add skins to my game is the modupdater for the game currently outdated? or do i need to go to a different link
just read pinned comment
sorry for trouble
You need to downgrade back to 1.4.3.2, assuming you're on steam you just opt in to the 32x compatibility beta in the game's properties
Steam and windows, mac is different
whats the code for the 1.4.3.2 beta
There isn't one, close the menu and let it update
no code, there should be a drop down
heeeelp why does my modinstaller not work?
It says that i have to install the newest version on hollow knight and then i should try again but i already installed the newest version

No, read the latest pin for a guide on downpatching

are the modinstaller not going to get a new update?

It will it just may take a little while
In the mean time you can downpatch, guide in the pins
ok
my randomizer isn't working
is there a comprehensive guide for Hollow Point
I'm using custom knight + hp bar + hollow point and the gun isn't firing
What do you mea?
Quit to menu and reopen the save
And check the README of the mod

what are the coolest mods u can find?
You want #modding-discussion , this is more for things that aren't working
does that mean the mods arent working for the current patch? and i have to go back a patch to use them?
oh sry
Yes. (Except it isn't just one patch)
Double check the first pin and make sure you've done that
FWIW going back to patch 1.4.3.2 changes almost nothing about the game. They basically tried to fix a load of stuff, broke it instead, and the latest patch is mostly a reversion back to 1432, apart from a few backend differences and like... One functional difference in the watcher knights fight

So this might seem like a weird question. I heard that switching of Vsync reduces some of the input lag hk has, tried it and I did seem to react to my inputs quicker. But my screen starts tearing up, I have an integrated intel hd card, and it always seemed to have a problem with screen tearing without vsync.
So is there a way to disable the ingame vsync and use some sort of external thing to remove my screen tearing?
what is the name for hornet skin?
Look for the message with google drive links for skins, hornet is in the white palace’s drive. Named daughter of hallownest
thank you
You are the best

teehee np
We don’t know yet but we’re hard at work
alright cool
unfortunately if you don't have a graphics card dedicated specifically for games, then you'll have to keep vsync on
Oh
I have the same situation as you
tried turning off vsync, but screen tear yada yada
though I think it's only a few frames of lag?
im having the same problem
It is but with vsync it feels like I'm a tiny bit heavier
You need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2
what does that mean?
The latest version doesn't support mods as of yet
maybe
tho I'm able to do pv and nkg with no problem, and those are fast paced fights

ok so whats how do i downgrade?
which mod lets you turn the hud off
k thanks
True I can do them too but y'know
Np
it would definitely feel better, but until I get a gaming pc, will have to do
Same
Hey, I've downgraded my game to 1.4.3.2 but when I run the game it says that I have no mods installed and I don't get that text in the top left corner. I've tried reinstalling the mod loader and verifying the game files but it's still not detecting the game files
If mods still aren't working, click this link for additional instructions: #archived-modding-help message
Cheers, I'll give that a go
Right, so I tried that twice and it still isn't working. Also when I validate the files it says there is two instead of one
verify integrity, open modinstaller, disable benchwarp, try again
Kk
is thre a no damage mod and if so where can you get it?
you mean invincibility?
ya
debug
?
ok thanks
It still hasn't worked but I've got to go for now. I'll see if reinstalling the game later works and if not I'll probably be asking here again
Hello, when I install a mod when I go to start the game it does not start

Anyone know why I keep regenerating soul? (and why I cant heal) I dont know if it was a mod I installed or something
hollow point fix in pins 
Or if hollow point is still on, it changes a lot. So read the readme
has the mod api been updated to 1.5?
no
damn
There is a mod that is changing the name of moss charger, to something like ultimate moss charger, any idea what mod is doing this?
@fair briar yes, I do
is that the one causing it? XD
@gloomy coral i thought you removed the buffed moss charger
I mean, the boss seems to be the same, it does not change combat wise, but I'm trying to record p5 all bindings and I guess it's gonna look odd to see that name instead of the normal one. It's not a big deal anyways, I can disable the mod or just keep it like that, but if it's simple and easy to remove that, I would appreciate it
i was wrong, i mean you forgot to change the name back
It's an option in the menu. At least in 1.5
you mean the name of the boss?, not sure if your reply was related to this. sorry
Yeah
The name is just a joke. If there's not an option to change it in the main menu (which, I think there's not in 1.4), then save and quit, and you might be able to change it in the global settings file
The global settings file is in your saves folder
Yeah
su i thought maybe he forgot to remove it
That was removed afaik. The name was left though
The settings for it is like "Easter egg names" or something
but is that settings related to the mod or hollow knight itself?, because if I disable the mod, it shows the regular name. I will check that about the global file settings. Thank you, appreciate it!
I'm talking about mod settings, yes
You mentioned 1.5, are mods now working with 1.5?
no
Mods are getting prepared for 1.5
There is a development build, and some mods for that build.
There currently isn't a 1.5 mod installer though, so it's all manual; the 1.5 API is also still being updated very regularly, and isn't in a "stable"/release state yet.
All this on top of, if HK updates again (which I'm pretty sure it will), then all of that breaks again lol
I see. I'm currently lookint at the settings global file, but I don't see anything related to moss charger
hmmh, I think it might be the one that says funny_descriptions
I changed that to false
heyo, im trying out mods for the first time and im concerned they will delete my save files, is this the case?
i heard some time ago that the moresaves mod is doing funky things, but generally no
oh ok thanks
@willow girder to fix the problem you have to manually go to the mods folder an delete Easier P5 Practice and download the newest version from the installer names Easier Pantheon Practice.
Because of the name change, the modinstaller doesnt auto update the mod for you. and also because of the name change the modinstaller will allow you to have both Easier P5 Practice and Easier Pantheon Practice which will cause both mods to not work properly (hence the manual deletion)
and next question, is the mod installer for the current patch or do i have to change which version im on
it is for the 1432 patch, the pins contain a how to
cool cool, thank you
do you know what exactly happens so i can fix it
no, can't even find messages, but they were in this channel
uhhhhhh
i reinstalled the mod manager
this thing
and now hollow knight wont start :/
quick question for the randomizer, I collected all 10 flames and didn't fight any of the spirits yet that usually give them, am I missing out on item checks if I beat NKG right now?
Please ping/dm me the answer. Thanks in advance!
When ModInstaller will be able on 1.5 versions?
I don't want to patch steam, and I want to custom my little Knight as always
You don't need to patch steam
I changed the funny descriptions to false and it worked. Thank you everyone for th ehelp
Just follow the first pin
hey guy's i'm having a little trouble with the modinstaller

The newest update no work with mods
u have to be in 1.4.3.2
welpp
It's like 3 clicks
i think i some how broke custom knight i cant get skins to work it shows on the menu on the side but its wont load in game just loading the normal skin again i have only debug and hitboxes on
Then either you're missing modcommon or your skins folders are structured incorrectly
oh im missing mod common oops

@crimson sierra i have this same problem
same for me
Hey guys
I’m doing a lightbringer play through and was wondering if there is a way to use a custom skin in it without it being replaced constantly?
afaik no
Sad
What if I were to replace the knights sprite?
Would that mess everything up?
Hey, I just got HK for the pc and was trying to download the modinstaller, however it says "Unable to locate game files. Please make sure the game is installed and then try again.". My game is installed and up to date. Was wondering if there is a way to fix it.
check the pins
the latest patch for hollow knight does not support the mod installer
Should it be in beta 1.4.3.2?
Yes
Ill test it out, thank you
Np
I put hk in 1.4.3.2 and deleted and reinstalled the modinstaller, but it just says the same thing
Check your directory
When you run the exe something should pop up saying is this where hollow knight is installed
So right click on hollow knight, hover over manage and hit browse local files
That will show your file path
You should reset your installer, follow the steps here. #archived-modding-help message
Make sure that both match
What am I looking for, im in the hk folder, and it shows hk, hk data, and unityplayer
You're just looking for the pathing, but you should reset your modinstaller using the instructions i linked
At the top of your file browser it shows the path of the files
Perfect, it worked!
Lovely
Thank you very much
Anytime
Any mods you recommend? Ive played on switch, but never on pc
Depends what you're looking for
I’m enjoying lightbringer right now
Overhauls your weapon into a ranged one
Super fun
Im really just looking for something that adds or changes the game, without straying from the main game
Bench warp is a good qol one
I highly recommend CustomKnight, guide and skins in the pin. Randomizer is fantastic and helps you get better at learning the game map. And redwing or lightbringer are great for mixing up normal gameplay. Or you can go with any of the numerous boss change mods
Custom knight is glitchy with a ton of mods I tried though
Oh and HollowPoint, or as most know it, Gun Mod
Like Hollow Point and Lightbringer
Yes, but it's also a great mod and it only breaks for like those two which really change things up.
Which sucks because I love the custom skins
Is custom knight glitchy with both those mods installed, or even just one?
Even one
Is there an easy list somewhere of the Twitch mod commands? They didn’t seem to include that in the readme
Hmmm, have you tried typing like ?help in your twitch chat?
Oh wait
It is in the readme
"Once the game has been ran, a file called TwitchCommandList.txt will be in your Mods folder containing the commands, their cooldowns, and descriptions."
I was more after a way to look at it on my phone as I’ve not yet had a chance to jump on my PC to install it :p
Ah, well unfortunately I'm not too sure that's an option. You can try watching a vod of someone using the mod to get a bit of an idea for it
Yeah I think I might have to at this point, thanks anyway though! :3
is there any mod to complete all the game?
use debug mod
You can use debug to give yourself everything
yeah this
Or I believe there's a maxed out savefile somewhere
thank u guys!
I just got the Hollow Knight ModInstaller and I want to use the Debug Mod. When I click on the README and look a the installation settings, there's a link for me to copy and paste to get the modding API. The problem is that when I copy and paste it Google tells me the URL cannot be found.
Any ideas as to why?
When you run the installer it automatically installs the API, you don't need to download it online
Installer 2 I think you need to find it in the list n hit update
Yea
Installer 2?
There's two modinstallers, they're pretty much the same but with a few minor differences. If you got the installer from the radiance.host link you have modinstaller 1, if you got it from the zip files in the pins that's modinstaller 2
I should have modinstaller 2 then
Then search for "ModdingAPI" on the installer and make sure it's installed and enabled
Do you have a legitimate copy of the game from Steam or GoG?
How do I manually install mods with the modinstaller?
I believe you need the .dll for the mod, then you give it to the modinstaller and it'll make it show up as an option similar to all the other mods on the list
look at the latest pin
Not their problem
Did you make sure to path the installer to the Hollow Knight with the actual hollow knight application in it?
If you aren't getting the option to path it, you'll need to reset the modinstaller. Follow the steps in this message to do that. If you don't know where to find your Hollow Knight folder, I'm not too sure where it is on GoG, but on steam you can right click on hollow knight, select properties, go to local files and click browse, and it'll take you to the right file. See if you can find something similar to this on GoG #archived-modding-help message
The mod im trying to get is .7z, do i have to convert it for it to work?
.7z is a zipped folder, right click it and select one of the options that says "Extract to"
Uninstall arts mod
okay thanks
I thought I did
Looks like you're missing it
I'll check, thanks
When I right clicked on the folder, there is no extract option
Are you on windows?
yeah
Then I think you need to download "WinRar" or "WinZip" or something from online
okay ill try it
Oh wait, can you open the .7z file?
disabling art mods works or do I need to uninstall completely
Pretty much the same thing
okay thanks
i can open it, but i dont have any applications that can open .7z
Ah, well if you can see the files drag them out of it, if not download winrar
7zip is better, doesn’t ask you to pay every time you open it
ModdingAPI on the installer?
Ah, couldn't remember what it was called
Yes, it's there with all the other mods.
In mod installer 8.something (also known as mod installer 1) look to the bottom of the installer. If the uppermost button at the bottom of the installer says enable ModdingApi or enable all installed mods or something like that click it
Mod installer 2: install ModdingApi like any other mod
so, vasi is installed already apparently
Did you make sure it's enabled, cause usually when mods say "FAILED TO LOAD!" it's because you're missing Vasi
its enabled
could it be interfere=ing with anothee mod?
Which mod?
uuwuu i think
Ah
^
Let me grab a fix
Version of frogcore on the installer has problems with the version of uuwuu on there
O
For some reason I thought it only showed the failed to load if it was specifically vasi missing.
Download frogcore.dll from this, I think it’s the right version https://github.com/RedFrog6002/FrogCore/releases/tag/0.0.0.2
thank you, where do I put it?
You do realize there’s more than one dependency mod, right?
Could be missing modcommon, frogcore, Serecore, SFCore, weavercore
Your mods folder
Which mod installer are you using
2 or 8.something
how do i check?
Yea I know, I just didn't think the failed to load message showed up when those were missing
…you look at the name of the application when it’s open
Those will show as the assembly will fail to load with those missing
8.7.1
Uninstall frogcore from the installer, click manually install mods, select the frogcore.dll you downloaded, done
ok, thak you
Ignore the installer for now if it says that frogcore is outdated
I’m working on a update to Uuwuu that has this fixed, but it’s far from complete
New phase needs rebalancing and the new death animation isn’t working at the moment
Close hollow knight
worked, thx
Can’t uninstall files that are in use
makes sense
Also make sure the lever on the uumuu statue is set to uumuu before disabling or uninstalling Uuwuu
Otherwise uumuu will be inaccessible until you reinstall it and set it to uumuu
okay, so I manually installed frogcore from the website and it still says failed to load
or do I need to reinstall uuwuu?
as well
is it possible that the pantheon practice mod is the thing that makes it not work
it wasnt
Be patient
okay now the fullscreen is glitchec
glitched* i got black bars round the sides instead of fullscreen and it wont let me leave fullscreen
still the screen is weird
is your resolution not matching your screen
trying to play floor is lava but it when I open the game it says floor is lava : unknown
