[dull anchor]

how do i i downpatch

[heavy hinge]

My friend just downloaded Hollow Knight including the mods and she keeps crashing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? And yes I had her switch to the 1.4.3.2 Beta version.

[kindred onyx]

Heyo real quick so I have everything working and it's great! Is there an easy way to download fun skins or do I need to do something else for that?

[austere ore]

Isn't there a skin mod?

[spice sorrel]

You have to download skin knight I think it was then download the skins you want

[twilit vale]

So just wondering, when I go to clear mod installer files to reset it, do I have to delete mod files as well (Such as custom knight, ect.)

[kindred onyx]

thank you I'll look into that

[spice sorrel]

Yes

[real jacinth]

No

[twilit vale]

Oh ok thanks

[heavy hinge]

You need to download Custom Knight
Heres a video that should help

[kindred onyx]

omg u are the best

thank you sm

[heavy hinge]

You can always trust Fireb0rn

[real jacinth]

There are 2 drives in the pins that have custom knight skins in them to download

[spice sorrel]

Yes hes gud

[twilit vale]

Also Why do I have to clear browser cache?

[real jacinth]

So you don't download the cached version

[twilit vale]

Oh ok

[real jacinth]

Which would be the incorrect one

When downloading from an identical link, your browser will try to save on processing power and give you a cached version again

But if your cached version is wrong, you need to get rid of that first

[spare rivet]

i got a few mods and i started my game once but i restart and now it crashed when its almost finished loading and im on the beta version. so

[twilit vale]

Ok, Did that. Should be good to reset moding info

[real jacinth]

Unplug controller. Launch game. Plug it in at title screen

[twilit vale]

And one more question, I only do the windows installer 1 instructions to clear data

[native ice]

If you have modinstaller 1 and are on windows then yes

[twilit vale]

Ok thanks

[heavy hinge]

Nvm we fixed it

[keen wasp]

I downloaded the installer and downpatched but it still says that I don't have the stable version

[twilit vale]

downgrade to hollowknight 1.4.3.2
think there is a pinned message

[keen wasp]

i have but it says i havent

[spice sorrel]

After you downgraded did you update your game?

[keen wasp]

there was the 200 mb update to downpatch it but my hollowknight is 1.4.3.2

[native ice]

That means your installer is probably looking in the wrong spot, reset it using the instructions linked below and then make sure you path it to the correct location. You can find the corret path by going to steam library > right clicking HK > properties > local files > browse, Then take note of the file pathing and make sure to give the modinstaller that same file pathing

#archived-modding-help message

[keen wasp]

Did the instructions and set the installation to this and still get the stable patch error

[urban surge]

Clarification: You are on Hollow Knight version 1.4, not 1.5?

[keen wasp]

yes

[west bane]

try resetting - #archived-modding-help message

Are you certain there aren't two versions of hollow knight on your computer?

This problem seems extremely similar to that which has come up multiple times.

Right click hollow knight in Steam, properties, local files, and double check that it's pointing to this one and not another

[keen wasp]

I have checked there's only 1 hollow knight on my pc and the install path is correct

[slow oyster]

I'm having troubles with mod loader

I can't get my modinstaller to open with the game

im on a mac

none of the mods appear

*skins

*and i put them in the skincashe folder

[native ice]

Yes

[topaz frigate]

its on the right version

[native ice]

Well screenshot your skins folder, but it's probably because you're using hollowpoint, those two mods don't work together well

[native ice]

They weren't talking to you

[topaz frigate]

i disabled it,testing it now

[topaz frigate]

ok

[heavy hinge]

My and my friend @spare rivet are having trouble setting up the Multiplayer thing. We downloaded both of the Multiplayer clients from the Mod installer, We've tried everything from the Hamachi thing. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we should do? Are there anymore mods we should download?

[topaz frigate]

it just broke hollow knight

now its in a permanent state of opening

[native ice]

Well, I can go over all the common problems. But also, you should probably use this other multiplayer mod called HKMP or Hollow Knight Multiplayer. It's more stable and it's got some extra features (Including Custom Knight support), it's not on the installer though. https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP

[native ice]

?

[heavy hinge]

We'll give it a shot!

[topaz frigate]

it isnt open, steam wont launch it, and my computer says it's open

i have force quit it a lot

[slow oyster]

Oh okay

[heavy hinge]

Do I have to move the File anywhere?

[native ice]

The instructions are on the github page

[heavy hinge]

Oh okay

[native ice]

Uh.. I'm not sure, try verifying the integrity and then launching the installer again?

[grand quarry]

does skin mod mess up your save file

[topaz frigate]

i mean hollow knight itself

[native ice]

It shouldn't

[grand quarry]

you still get steam achievements with it though right?

[median vector]

when i download the royal dreamer and open up hk its not in the mods tab, and when i go back to the mod installer its not even downloaded in the first place

[round obsidian]

hi everyone. i've been looking to get into modding hollow knight, and i'm getting path errors trying to run the installer. looking over the pins, it seems that my windows version 1.5 is not compatible with the current modinstaller, which seems to want version 1.4.3.2. i don't have steam or gog--is it possible for me to downpatch, or am i pretty much stuck until the installer is updated? alternatively, can the mods be installed manually? thanks in advance.

[native ice]

Well it's not "windows version 1.5" the version 1.5 is hollow knight. And the only moddable versions of the game are steam and gog unfortunately

[round obsidian]

ok i think i might be able to get steam keys, was just hoping to avoid that route. that's good info, thanks

[harsh musk]

how do you see other peoples skins on multiplayer mod

[plucky ledge]

the multiplayer server creator need to enable custom knight option i think

[harsh musk]

ah

do you need to install the other person's skin mod too

[plucky ledge]

dunno

[native ice]

If you're using the multiplayer mod on the installer you can't

[harsh musk]

how do you use a multiplayer mod any other way

can't you only get it on the installer

[native ice]

https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP

[harsh musk]

is this the client or server

[native ice]

This is an entirely separate mod

[harsh musk]

do you use hamachi

[native ice]

Yes

[harsh musk]

and how would you run a server

[native ice]

What do you mean??

Most the information you need is on the github i linked

[harsh musk]

oh

[balmy flame]

Whenever I try to run the modinstaller it tells me to install the most recent and stable version of hollow knight even though I did

Like I even just uninstalled and then reinstalled the game

Hi~ I've a problem with the ModInstaller, I wonder if someone could give me a hand?

[pliant lantern]

• Mod Installer doesn't "install", it's just a simple program. I assume you mean the ModdingAPI though, which gets installed when you use Mod Installer
• Make sure you've read the top two pins, because they are both important. You may also need to do the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pin.

[pliant lantern]

after i got to that i got to a folder labeled "default" went into it and it was empty, do i just drag the skin files into their and it should work?

[pliant lantern]

If you haven't fixed this yet, you can manually edit the debug global settings file and choose a different button there.
GlobalSettings files are found in the same folder as your save files. use ?saves in chat if you don't know where that is.

Personally, I would suggest removing the "Hide Hero": 8 line (and the comma at the end of the "toggle HUD" line above it), then change
"Toggle All UI": 282, -> "Toggle All UI": 8,
That should make it Backspace

[native ice]

No, you put the folders into the CustomKnight folder, default is the default skin

[tired flower]

ahhhhhh

i see i see

tank chu

and then i dont have to do anything after that? i can go into hollow knight and it will be there?

[native ice]

Yes, make sure that the skin you put in the customknight folder is unzipped and is a named folder filled with pngs

[native ice]

Sorry that was a bit confusing, let me a bit more clear your file structure should look like this Mods/CustomKnight/(Skin Name)/(Pngs of the skin textures) And just make sure that the folder with the skin name is a regular folder and not zipped

yeah was the vasi thank u

If you want save states, use Debug

the "save states mod" is it's own thing

not for use with other mods

[sinful lance]

hmm i think its not permited for the src leaderboard

[native ice]

Try making a new save and using debug and benchwarp to get right to the right area

[pliant lantern]

You are correct, but the SaveStatesMod is only allowed because it's it's own thing. It doesn't work with any other mods

And iirc even then, it's only allowed in certain cetegories

i see okay

thx u

You probably lowered your nail damage using debug mod, search through the keybinds to change nail damage and make sure they're at the right value, old nail is 5 damage and every nail after that is +4 up to 21 for pure nail. Also make sure you don't have strength on

my hollow night is completely fine and opened even when i was trying to use the mods, i think its something I did, i think i accidentally force closed it before it could fully quit

[native ice]

Did you downpatch

[tired flower]

no

[lusty carbon]

@native ice how does one check damage values?

[native ice]

That's your problem

[lusty carbon]

u cant mod on 1.5

@tired flower

[native ice]

Find the keybind that lets you change nail damage, click it, and look at the console in the bottom right

[tired flower]

if i downgrade to 1.4.3.2 my hollow knight wont open at all, even without mods. Rn its on none for the dowpatch

ill try that though

[lusty carbon]

@native ice Thank you SO much

shit had me scared of a goddamn tik tik

ur a life samer

saver*

[tired flower]

yeah see, i physically cant open when downpatching lol

imma change it to none and see if that worked to like reset it or something

[lusty carbon]

Spain

no s

[tired flower]

its worked before so hopefully it works again

[lusty carbon]

None is just reglr Hollow knight

so its the current patch

[tired flower]

ik

[lusty carbon]

but still

try everything

[tired flower]

yeah, agreed

[lusty carbon]

Welp

imma go torture myself by playing steelsoul with crippling anxiety

[tired flower]

oof lol

[lusty carbon]

hope u can fix ur game

[tired flower]

good luck with that

[tired flower]

thanks

[lusty carbon]

You have my gratitude

i will need it

[lusty carbon]

ya np

Welp im back

[tired flower]

well that was quick

[lusty carbon]

I accidentally gave myself 4000 geo and forgot to ask how to get rid of it without taking away what i got legit

[tired flower]

why would you wanna get rid of it?

[lusty carbon]

because it eats away at my psyche until eventually i delete the save file half way through the game cuz its a tainted run.

[tired flower]

ah i see i see

you poor soul oof

[lusty carbon]

I just hate myself that much apparently

[tired flower]

relatable

[lusty carbon]

You can ignore hate from others but self hate is a different story

I WISH i could ignore it

[tired flower]

same

we should prob stop having a convo not related to modding help in here before the mods get mad at us :w:

[lusty carbon]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[tired flower]

haha yes, i downgraded then set it back to normal hk and it opened UwU

[lusty carbon]

W

I'm gonna add u cuz idk if this is how it works but I think we are friends now or something like that.

[tired flower]

XD

ok lol

[lusty carbon]

Does anyone know how to remove geo?

i accidentally gave myself 4000 and i wanna get rid of it without losing what i got legit

i have over 960 legit and i was thinking i should get to 1000, die, lose all my geo, and just give myself the 1000 i have originally but i cant do that cuz im on steelsoul.

[native ice]

Don't think that's an option

[lusty carbon]

ffffff uuuu

[polar cloak]

Thanks for all the help @native ice@pliant lantern. I got it figured out and its all working now, thank you very much!!

[lusty carbon]

Thanks brah

i will still end up using it

[native ice]

Sorry for the late response, I remember that there was an error similar to that (paired with another message from steam about an OS Error), that happened on 1.5's release. But I don't think I've seen it for 1.4.3.2, we can try what I believe was the fix anyways though

[tired flower]

its fine

[native ice]

mmk

[tired flower]

what was the fix that you think would work?

[native ice]

Launching the game via terminal, though I'm not certain that that's the same problem anymore

[tired flower]

interesting

[native ice]

Oh wait yea this might be right

[tired flower]

also, wanna know something weird? I opened hollow knight and checked to see if the mods worked then remembered that mod installer prob restarted for some stupid reason so i opened it and put up to date on the modding api, close hollow knight, and re opened hollow knight but now it wont open '-'

weird

[native ice]

I have no idea what you mean

Anyways I think this is the correct thing, not launching by terminal but this post from that was linked with the message about launching from terminal: https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/3109153465655517517/

[tired flower]

thanks, ill watch it

[native ice]

Make sure you're downpatched to 1.4.3.2 before doing it

[tired flower]

when i downpatch though hollow knight wont open at all

[native ice]

...

[tired flower]

it says that i have to ask for help from my like administrator or something like that

[native ice]

That's what I think those instructions will help with, but maybe I'm wrong

[raven canyon]

Can someone assist me with downpatching my hollow knight?

[tired flower]

ill try it, brb

[native ice]

If you're on steam

[raven canyon]

Thank you sir

[lusty carbon]

Is there a mod that lets u toggle steelsoul on and off?

[native ice]

Oh I just realized, you can probably save edit your geo gone

And also change steel soul in save editor but yea

[lusty carbon]

How?\

[uneven arrow]

Hey all, sorry to interrupt, just curious - does having the modding api, but no mods stop the seer from giving me essence rewards? I didn't go back to her til I had over 2400 essence to save time, but then she opened the door and gave me none of the other stuff xD Reverted back to pure vanilla without the api active and verified files, and still got nothing. Doesn't help when trying to go for 112% I haven't saved after handing in essence at all

[lusty carbon]

And how do i change the amount of geo i have?

[native ice]

Use "Ctrl + f" to search for "Geo"

[lusty carbon]

no, not that i know of.

[native ice]

Uh, that's not something I've ever heard of

[uneven arrow]

Yeah same xD

[native ice]

You can always also save edit and set all the seer rewards past I believe the second one, to false

[lusty carbon]

so i go to the folder press ctrl f and search geo?

[native ice]

No

[lusty carbon]

I'm slow

[uneven arrow]

Gotcha, cheers, I'll check it out

[native ice]

You find the save file, upload it to the website i linked above the save file message, and change the values there

[raven canyon]

@native iceQuestion if i ever need to go back to latest version am i able to?

[lusty carbon]

yep

[raven canyon]

Thank you

[native ice]

Yep, just verify integrity using steam (to remove the modding api as it'll break things if you have it on 1.5), and then change the beta tab to "None"

[lusty carbon]

np. though im not riverrobot so i prolly shouldnt have answered

[raven canyon]

Nah it's fine I probaly shouldn't have @ed him anyways some servers are super strict

[native ice]

Don't worry about @ing me, but just asking out loud is usually good enough

[raven canyon]

Thank you I love it when people are super chill

[lusty carbon]

^^^^^^^^^

[raven canyon]

If I have any other problem i'll be sure to ask

[lusty carbon]

@native ice how do i get the specific file again? I have the memory of Dory from Finding Nemo

[native ice]

You're on windows?

[lusty carbon]

yep

[native ice]

Press Windows + R on your keyboard and paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\

[lusty carbon]

And how exactly does one tell which save it is?

[native ice]

You want "Userx.dat" where "x" is the position of the save slot, 1 being the topmost one, 4 being the bottom most one. Also you don't need any of them with .bak or any extra numbers after the .dat

[lusty carbon]

steelsoul is the second one so its a dat file called user2?

[native ice]

Yep

[lusty carbon]

Perfect

Many thanks

So i replace the file right?

[native ice]

Yep, you download it from the website and replace the one in your saves folder

[winged wyvern]

What happened to modinstaller2

[native ice]

What do you mean?

[winged wyvern]

Like there was a separate thing called modinstaller2

[native ice]

Yes, and there still is

Are you looking for it?

[winged wyvern]

Ye

[native ice]

It's in the pins, it's a zipped file. there are several labelled with different os names so pick whatever you're on. But if you're on Windows there's really no point and Mi1 should be fine

[winged wyvern]

That’s what I mean, it’s basically been replaced by what it was supposed to succeed

[native ice]

Uh no

[native ice]

Modinstaller 2 isn't a sequel, it's the same thing but different because it has different ui and it works better sometimes, but it also has a few of it's own problem.

[rancid bane]

umm

when I run the mod installer

it says like

There's a procedure in the pins. But also, I suggest you use this other multiplayer mod called HKMP or Hollow Knight Multiplayer. It's more stable and has some extra features. https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP

Re: mod installer 2
Apparently it was never posted here for some reason, but the ones in the pins aren't the newest versions.

The latest ones are here: https://github.com/fifty-six/Modinstaller2/actions/runs/915710604

[pliant lantern]

Notably, this version includes the button I have been requesting be added to both mod installers for a long time lol

[fair briar]

[shut notch]

is the modinstaller include multiplayer mod?

[pliant lantern]

Mod installer has the original multiplayer mod, but it is very outdated

If you've seen multiplayer streams recently, the players are more likely using HKMP

I can't seem to even get a link from mobile

also, does anyone know why modded makes my fps lower?

[fair briar]

well modding isn't that efficient, and more mods/ large mods can either be very inefficient, or they need more resources then regular game

[wicked parcel]

Would custom knight be one of them?

[fair briar]

well it loads lots of images from the disk and displays them

[wicked parcel]

aight cool thanks

[knotty dragon]

does debug mod allow me to spawn enemies? i wanna spawn grimmkin so that i can fight them but im not sure how to do that

[limber egret]

It does not. Your best option is to use save states, though. Create a saves state just before the fight, fight the Grimmkin, then load the save state.

[knotty dragon]

oh okay thanks, i wont bother fighting them then since its too much trouble

[fleet geyser]

im using the HKMP mod and i want to be able to use skins with my friends but when i add the skins to the skin folder i dont get a id.txt file. if anyone has the file could they send me it so i could perhaps tweak it to the skins i need?

where do i put the customknight skins?

the customknight folder

in the mods folder

in the managed folder

the mods folder is empy

empty

its built in

there is a skincashe folder

[fair briar]

have you ran hk with customknight atleas once?

[topaz frigate]

yes

[fair briar]

@brazen pasture ??

look

[real jacinth]

Go in resources

Resources, data, managed, mods

[topaz frigate]

nothing there

its empty

[fair briar]

still whats skincache

[topaz frigate]

idk

it sounds like it would be for customknight

[real jacinth]

Its not

This also looks like the wrong patch

[topaz frigate]

its 1.4.3.2

also some of my mods, after being uninstalled, are stuck

ex grassy knight

[real jacinth]

What's that mean

[topaz frigate]

as an example, grassy knight

it still functions

hollow knight

[pliant lantern]

Did you try to use mods while still on 1.5 originally? If so, you'll need to do the "if mods still aren't working" steps in the second pin

[spring furnace]

it keeps telling me to get the most recent patch but what is the most recent patch ffs

[topaz frigate]

should i download customknight, put it in the correct mods folder, and put the skins in there?

[pliant lantern]

If mods are still showing up, then you are looking in the wrong folder, because it won't be empty. Can you screenshot the path that Mickely told you to check?

[pliant lantern]

Read the top two pins

[topaz frigate]

there are screenshots

[real jacinth]

Did you move stuff manually

[pliant lantern]

That's not right

[real jacinth]

This looks very wrong

[topaz frigate]

nope

the bottom one is first btw

[real jacinth]

Your mods folder should be where all the sharedasset files are

[fair briar]

go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity

[real jacinth]

And there shouldn't be a hollow_knight_data folder in that spot at all

[fair briar]

to hopefully fix this

[topaz frigate]

ok

loading

[pliant lantern]

That won't fix a Knight's problem

[real jacinth]

So this looks like you manually installed the api

[topaz frigate]

yes

because its out of date for me

[fair briar]

why not

[real jacinth]

You click the orange box

That's it

[topaz frigate]

ok

[real jacinth]

That updates it

You manually installed stuff wrong

[pliant lantern]

Verify just fixes changed files

[topaz frigate]

restarting modinstaller

[fair briar]

if everything is broken then verifying integrity fixes alot of it

[topaz frigate]

1 file failed to verify

[spring furnace]

how does one clear browser file cache for i am technologically illiterate

[fair briar]

https://www.google.com/

[topaz frigate]

btw nothing changed it all looks the same

[pliant lantern]

Verify Integrity won't change directories or anything like that

[fair briar]

just reinstall at this point

[topaz frigate]

still contents-rescources-data-hollow_knight_data-managed-mods

[real jacinth]

No

[spring furnace]

still asks me this

[topaz frigate]

thats the pattern

[real jacinth]

That's not what I said

[pliant lantern]

Also, does the Unix API folder have the wrong structure?

[fair briar]

2nd pin

[topaz frigate]

i verified files and nothing changed, should i reinstall

[spring furnace]

oooh

[real jacinth]

Verifying files only removes the api

[fair briar]

unix and windows are the same

[spring furnace]

ok yeah that makes sense

(sorry for being a dumbarse)

[real jacinth]

This is wrong.
It's contents/resources/data/managed/mods

[pliant lantern]

Well, Mac uses the Unix one. That's why Mac controller players need to manually update it. If the folder structure of the API download is wrong, it would cause this

[real jacinth]

Not data twice

[topaz frigate]

nope between data and managed there is hollow_knight_data

for me anyway

[real jacinth]

I don't care

That's because you put that there

[topaz frigate]

so i should remove it?

[real jacinth]

When you manually installed the api

Which you did wrong

[topaz frigate]

yes

ok

[real jacinth]

So this folders are in the wrong spot

[brazen pasture]

Um skincache was used in serverknights should be yeeted now

[fair briar]

yeah, just wanted to let you know that the links in modlinks.xml are the exact same for both oses

[brazen pasture]

Since server knight's was merged in hkmp and it has its own skin system

[topaz frigate]

so i should remove hollow_knight_data and move managed to its place?

[real jacinth]

What

Managed is fine where it is

[fair briar]

move the contents of managed into your managed

[topaz frigate]

ill just reinstall it takes like 1 min

[pliant lantern]

This might be my error.
I didn't realize that the Unix API download had the structure wrong, and for ease of use, I just mentioned dropping the folder on the matching one

[topaz frigate]

ok its reinstalled

[pliant lantern]

I will send $5 to whoever wants to fix the mod installers not using the correct Mapi for Unix users

[topaz frigate]

mods are gone

[pliant lantern]

Yeah, cool reinstall well get rid of them all.
Luckily, you had some old stuff still for some reason, so it's probably good that their gone

[fair briar]

if you have the download link for it its ez

[topaz frigate]

yeah hollow_knight_data and everything in it is gone

there is a mod path from contents-managed-mods

it has enemyhp bar

thats it

[pliant lantern]

That path shouldn't be there either

So that's weird

Does EHPB do three thing old CK used to do on Mac?

[topaz frigate]

where do i put the mods then?

[toxic cliff]

so... whats the current status? anyone got it to work again?

[pliant lantern]

@gloomy coral if you haven't, you may want to fix mac's location for 1.5 with HP Bars

[topaz frigate]

oh wait i think i figured it out

also a reinstall didnt get rid of hollow_knight_data it hid it at the bottom of the list

[pliant lantern]

(and all important path info you need)

Mac OS:
Save Files: ||~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/||
Game Files: ||~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/||
Mod Files: ||Right-click hollow_knight.app, and select "show contents", then navigate to: contents ᐅ resources ᐅ data ᐅ managed ᐅ mods
Please double check that you followed correctly. The Unix versions of the game have multiple folders with the same/similar names, and it's easy to go to the wrong folder||

[topaz frigate]

i moved the weirdly placed managed folder to the data folder and now hollow knight wont launch

for mod files its all there

[pliant lantern]

Can you screenshot what was in that folder again?

[topaz frigate]

ahh the problem with the mods still working was in my saves

which folder?

[pliant lantern]

The one you just moved

[topaz frigate]

here

[pliant lantern]

No

[topaz frigate]

thats what is in mods

[pliant lantern]

Is this the one you moved? You have for to stop randomly moving folders lol

That folder needed to stay where it was

[topaz frigate]

ok

it made sense tho

ok so i apparently have an unchanged hollow knight game

what do i do from here

also hollow knight wont launch

but i know how to fix that

[pliant lantern]

Go to the "mods" path that I linked above

And screenshot what's there

#archived-modding-help message

[topaz frigate]

not much

there is no managed or mods

oh wait

when i previously moved the managed folder

it said that one was already there

-_-

woo more uninstalling/reinstalling

[pliant lantern]

Just launch Mod installer again

[topaz frigate]

i deleted the file path

[pliant lantern]

It should automatically make it

[topaz frigate]

well hollow knight is reinstalling

wait am i supposed to have modinstaller 2

[pliant lantern]

Yes?

[topaz frigate]

ok

every video i watched said to get 2 by looking in the pinned comments and there wasnt modinstaller 2

so i scrolled up

realllllllly far

and found it

hk reinstalled

[pliant lantern]

This has the largest 2:
https://github.com/fifty-six/Modinstaller2/actions/runs/915710604

[topaz frigate]

i think that's it

[pliant lantern]

If you scroll down, and click the "Mac" version

[fair briar]

dwarf the embed

yeet it

[topaz frigate]

i have the mac version

[pliant lantern]

It's newer than the one in pins

[topaz frigate]

what

oh nvm

[fair briar]

i literally said dwarf lol

[austere ore]

whenever I launch 1432 this pops up what do I do?

[topaz frigate]

i realized after

[pliant lantern]

I'm keeping it for visability. Pins need fixed 😤

[pliant lantern]

Did you read the post that's linked in the second pin?

[topaz frigate]

i am angry at the devs the managed folder is hidden halfway down

ok this looks good

there is a ton of stuff in the managed folder

[pliant lantern]

Yes

[topaz frigate]

oh and customknight

yesssssssssss

it launches

there are mods

no weird mods either

only the ones i want

and skins work

YES

[pliant lantern]

If you end up having controller issues, then you'll need to fix the API manually, but instead of merging folders, just by moving the API file

But I can't link that now, because I've got to get ready and leave for work

[austere ore]

Yes I have still confused

[pliant lantern]

They list a few methods to fix your computer not wanting to launch the game iirc

[topaz frigate]

yes controller issues

yay

i've been playing modded w a keyboard and mouse for a while now

so

[pliant lantern]

This is the Unix API:
https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/download/1.4.3.2-60/Unix.zip

Inside there's an AssemblyCSharp file, and it needs to overwrite the one you currently have. I think off the top of my head that it's in the Data folder that is in the Mods folder path

Just don't copy the full folders, because that was one of the issues from before

[austere ore]

For some reason I just renamed Hollow Knight to Hollow_Knight and it worked

Now I just need to get the mods working

[cold ruin]

i can't open modinstaller?

it opened a pop-up for a sec and just closed itself

[fair briar]

1st pin

[cold ruin]

thanks

[austere ore]

How do I get the mods the launch I have them enabled on the mod installer but they aren't appearing in game

nvm

[hot horizon]

does anyone here know how sprites work? specifically spritepacker

[worldly yarrow]

wait where do i get modinstaller 2

[fair briar]

How to get the most recent build of MI2:

1. Go to https://github.com/fifty-six/Modinstaller2/actions/runs/915710604;
2. Scroll down;
3. Click the file for your OS.

[worldly yarrow]

oh it was in the pinned messages

i think modinstaller is crashing my game

when i click play, this shows up, loads, and then hollow knight crashes

within a few seconds

so it doesnt even finish launching
