2nd pin
this just popped up after i got past the first popup just now
i have the same problem when i down grade to 1.4.3.2, if your hollow knight is on that version thats most likely the reason, it for some reason only happens to mac, switch it back to none and hollow knight will open. or maybe not, hopefully your game opens
hey river, i just woke up a few mins ago and decided to finish the trying to mod, you've been so so much help and thank you so so much, i just have a few more questions if thats alright
i need help my installer says that i need to install the latest stable version of my game and i don't know how
i am trying to use modinstaller put it says my installation needs a stable patch
I alr fixed it dw
that we fix it
ah ok nice
how did you fixit if you dont mind me asking
Idk lol
One thing I changed is the name from Hollow Knight to Hollow_Knight
and I uninstalled and reinstalled
ok i will try that
huh interesting, when you uninstalled it and re installed did it make you repay for it?
no.
oh nice, i might try that
Is current patch the valid patch for mods? I know it says that it is in the pinned but the pinned also refer to current patch as 1.4 with a few exceptions?
sorry but what is the code to acess the beta that the 2nd pin mensions (steam)
Hey guys i'm getting an error messege each time i try to start my game up after installing mod common and the modding api. It says the game crashed due to an error. Me and a friend are trying to play the multiplayer mod with cracked versions since we didn't feel like buying the game a second time on pc incase that helps.

so what mod do i disable to get rid of the chat box
What box?
So I'm trying to install the randomizer mod because it looked fun, but when I tried to download it, a message popped up saying, "This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again." I'm quite sure I'm on the latest version of hollow knight so I don't know what to do. Does anyone know how to fix this?
you have to downpatch
Oh. do you know which patch i have to go to in order to install it?
lol i have no idea how to downpatch. how do i do that?

It's not, and the pin says that it's not
i downloaded a new custom skin and this one doesnt work but my other skins do. does anyone know a fix for this? ive seen many other people use it but it doesnt seem to work for me.
You set up the skin’s folder wrong
This is very common with daughter of hallownest since it changes more than what CustomKnight allows, changing the game’s files along with using CustomKnight
Find the hollow_knight_Data folder inside the daughter of hallownest files, copy the files in it, then paste them in your hollow_knight_Data folder in your hollow knight installation, when prompted, replace the conflicting files
the mod installer wont even load for me
Latest pinned message
when i click to enable a mod on mac the mod installer crashes. how can i fix this issue?
im on hk 1.4.3.2
Do you mean when you click the box left of "Enabled?" it crashes?
That's probably because you're actually disabling the mod when you click there. Just don't disable mods and only uninstall them. If you want to fix the problem navigate to your Mods folder and create a new folder called Disabled inside it
oh okay so is it supposed to be a blue check there? a tutorial vid i watched told me to click it and it would fill the box with a blue square
That's how it's supposed to be yea
oki thx
You should be able to find it in the pinned messages. It should be one of 3 posts by 56 that match your operating system.
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
My ModInstaller2 isn't connecting to Hollow Knight. It says that I have the mods enabled and installed, but they won't show up. Is there an explanation to this?

First, open the modinstaller and search the mod list of modding api and make sure it's installed and enabled
I assume I need to find an updated version of it now?
Uh, no. Just click the orange box next to out of date and the mod installer will update it
That's the wrong folder
Press Windows + R on your keyboard, and paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ and click "Ok"

The pined message
I don't think you have debug installed
What is AU
Oh Auto Updater
That's the first pin, you need the second pin
Afterwards send a picture of the top left corner of your main menu
no
Thank god dude
you should but you won't
Tysm
If you did need to it would be in the message
I can just cheat all the stuff I lost in then anyways
I've been playing around with randomizer, and I have been having a problem. I keep trying to turn off the "duplicate major items" option, but every time i start a game, it just duplicates them anyway. Is this a glitch, or am i doing something wrong?
the geo and essence is duplicated
Okay, so I've got the Modding API back up, but now the game crashes before I get to the menu.
Why is it stuck on 195,42 MB
I was just admireing your save files
i wanna clear my second save and try a randomizer
O-O
yeah all 3 have a radiant hall of gods :>
but that aside
do you know the overlay problem?
nO SORRY
dang
Caps sorry
why are you so impressed though you are 112 gang too
Do you know why my Hollow Knight isnt updating?
You didn't read what mods you were installing.
Remove mod Console
Im bad at gaming
But im good at exploring
I cant beat P5
so
Yeah basically thats it
nvm I think its working now its confirming
Those aren't major items. You just got two of the same sets of items and they aren't duplicated
thanks dwarfwoot its gone ❤️
I uninstalled and installed it again, but there is nothing on the left corner of my game
Top left, not right

Anyone know why QoL isn't loading?
hollow knight keeps crashing
Install and enable vasi
Have you downpatched?
how
Props to the mod API devs thats a good and easy install
Where can i find the latest rando the one where the charm notches required for each charm is randomized ?
Well first, open the modinstaller and make sure that the modding api is installed and enabled. If it is, try this #archived-modding-help message
I can't get the 3 newest versions of the modinstaller to work as it says I don't have the stable version (yes im on 1.4.3.2 and have reset the install cache so dont say pinned msg 2) and older versions cant connect to the mod list. What should i do?
arson you can downpatch on steam then properties
Is there a place where I can see what the hell the mods do?
tysm
Pins, there's a mod summaries list and a readme collection

Rude and unnecessary
sir, this is #modding-help, not #offtopic

Can anyone send me a link to the daughter of hallownest skin please?
ya like mine more?? xDD
It should be in one of the google drives in the pinned messages
Alright thanks
just ignore me i should get some sleep
Here's a direct link, make sure to check the readme

How to get the most recent build of MI2:
- Go to https://github.com/fifty-six/Modinstaller2/actions/runs/915710604;
- Scroll down;
- Click the file for your OS.
is a little bit newer than the pin
ok tyyyyyy
ill try it
ok cool
once i install the file for the modinstaller do i just open it?
Yes, make sure it's not zipped and that it's on your desktop tho
Ugh I did it and nothing changed, I think I'm starting to give up
Why it's not working on my game 😩😩
Well before you give up, try going to your save files and just deleting all the files that say "Globalsettings" in it
quick question i no longer have a touch screen how do i use debug mod
You probably need to downpatch
Pause the game and use your mouse to click things
Second pinned message
ok
oops
when i go to https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader/releases/download/DepotDownloader_2.4.3/depotdownloader-2.4.3.zip it says "Not Found"
Well you don't need to use that
oh
and then? 👀
And then launch the game and hope it works.
Why did my game crash when I pressed "Respawn"
Don't press that, I don't think it does what you think it does
What does it do
I'm not certain
It didn't but since the first time I installed the mod I guess something is different cause my game takes a little more time to start 🤔
But nothing else
How do I turn on stuff in debug menu? I keep pressing "Infinite Soul" but nothing happens
Did you pause and click it
yes
Is moresaves enabled
yes
It has conflicts with debug
You have to close the game, disable it, then start it
Also some people have said moresaves has corrupted or deleted their saves
omg
no please
I swear to Radiance
Oh thank god mine is fine
How can you move stuff around in debug?
If you want to use saves from extra pages without moresaves then go to your save files folder, make backups of user1.dat, user2.dat, user3.dat, and user4.dat (the numbers correspond to the save file number, 1-4 is the first page), then rename user#.dat where # is the page number * 4 - 4 + the save slot number (1-4 going from top to bottom) to user#.dat where # is a save slot on the first page
Alright ty
I just hided hollow knight in steam, how to not hide it
Maybe pin that
Ehhh it’s not a common issue since people tend to continue using moresaves after hearing that, plus I don’t have perms
e
What do you mean?
You can’t
Bruh
You can hide the ui and bench warp’s ui
Hey, I can’t change it
I know
I didn’t make either mod
how do i open 1.4.3.2 on mac

bc the betas thing isnt working
which pin
2nd
On Mac it instructs you to not use the betas but instead use depot downloaded
No?
Is there not a cheat to have no cooldown on dash or spells?
ok
The 2nd most recent one
read it please
Oh the message was updated
k
The first link maybe
Someone should make a no cooldown mod, it doesnt sound too hard
Maybe maybe not, the animations make it harder, so a polished no cooldown mod might take a bit
So to uninstall modinstaller 1, i delete every mod, i delete the .exe and what?
ok
?
im installing the 1.4.3.2 beta
What are you trying to do?
uninstall modinstaller 1 so i can install the modinstaller 2 or update the mi1
What instructions are you following? Also you don’t need to switch to mod installer 2, despite mi2 sounding like a update it isn’t, just a different installer
You don’t
Okay I'm having some trouble with mod installer. It wasn't working I assume because of the update so I reinstalled it and also reverted back to the last version of the game because the guide I was using said to. I have all the mods I want to use installed and whatnot but the game boots up and none of the mods are working.
Is there a mods menu in the options menu
No

so i uninstall the .exe file for mi1, i delete memory files, adn what does deleting browser file cache mean?
Look it up
Anything else I should do after deleting those?
No
I mi1 updated for 1.5?
Alright I'll see if that worked
thats what is making my mi fail then
Just revert to 1.4.3.2
Same thing happened. No loading bar that appears when modding, no mods section in options, nothing.
Yeah sorry
Screenshot mod installer
Click enable ModdingApi
I am incredibly stupid
The ModdingApi is what allows mods to run
I'm sorry for wasting you time lmao
I just realized that was there when I took the screenshot
hello, my pc crashed and now when i open the game it doesn't show the modding api at the top or the mods i have
Is there a mods option in the options menu
Yeah

Am I on crack or is 1.0 insanely fast
It can seem like that after playing at lower speeds
does that mean ill lose my current game?
No
No its like at 1.25 or somethi g but I fixed it
As long as you only delete globalsettings files
Ah ok
If you go all the way down in speed and go to 1.0 its not actually at 1.0 but at like 1.25 so you have to go all the way up and then go down to 1.0 for it to actually be 1.0 speed if that makes sense
Ah
Daughter of hallownest skin doesnt work for me
Any mod doesn't work for me 
any idea why this shows up? im pretty sure im on the current patch
Do you have to restart the game for disabling/enabling mods? Or is it only installing and uninstalling

1.5? if you are on 1.5 you gotta "update" to 1.4
cause mi doesnt work on 1.5 yet
does it reset data or anything?
hey, is there a modding api that i can install manually for 1.5?
or for 1.5 do i NEED to use an installer
there is no installr or modding api for 1.5 to my knowledge

so no modding for 1.5? that makes so much sense xD
my debug mod won't open, i keep pressing f1 but it never opens and my computer mutes itself instead
i was trying my best to not install an older version
@viscid crescent sounds like you're pressing a mute function and not actually pressing F1.
Some keyboards have multiple functions on one key
f1 is mute on my computer
try fn+f1
There will be a way to press F1 instead of mute, likely the button will be labelled Fn
As above
ah that worked thanks
;)
i don't even work here 😎
one last question, should i be afraid of backwards/forwards compatibility with old saves on my hollow knight when installing old patches and re-installing the most recent ones?
(tell me if that didn't make sense)
@brittle knot if you're worried you can always make a backup of your save somewhere else
Not really, the only thing that might be bad is going from 1.4.3.2+ to like 1.2.2.1
Uhh... look it up online. I think you just have to search "Terminal" on your device
thx
Wait, are you trying to downpatch?
yes
ok
ohhhh
ok
I tried that before and it didnt work
now it works
im guessing because of the files that I downloaded?
although
will my progress be deleted
Not really
okie dokie
They basically changed nothing front end
kk
Not really. Gameplay wise there's like, a single feature missing in 1.4.3.2 and some bugfixes and new bugs
im guessing just bug changes
Honestly it was mostly adding bugs, then removing the bugs they added. 🙃
lol
And they gave Watcher Knights a back roll move in 1.5 that looks more like a bug then a feature
after cheesing those guys. I dont feel bad for them tbh
Don't diss the back roll it's cool
I thought it was a bug for like a week despite seeing something about it mentioned in the patch notes
ik but it just makes the fight slower and more annoying
When is the newest verison of modinstaller coming out?
Tba?
oh thanks
ok I just tried launching it from steam and from "terminal" or whatever you want to call it but it seems to crash every time
when I launch it from steam, it gives me this message
k
this
whenever I launch randomizer mod when I start it zooms in on a geo rock anyone know anything
Iirc that means you don't have QoL or Vasi
ok
IT WORKED!!!!
ok thank you so much RiverRobot and TamiJo
it just shows me normal hk -.-
or is that normal
I haven't downloaded any mods
Nothing in the top left corner? It should atleast have moddingapi
Try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pin
Well yea you should
o lol
ok the mod installer crashes
although that is the old version
is there a new version of it
nvm instant crash
Did you just download it like today, and which installer is it?
Did you get it from the radiance.host link or is it from the zipped file in the pins?
Well that's not the newest but that doesn't matter that much. Right click the modinstaller, select "Show Package Contents" and look for an application in the file that opens, if youf ind it drag it onto your desktop and run that
Click the orange box, that's important
Also, just find what mod you want, click the box left of "Installed?" and make sure that the box next to "Enabled?" is also checked
where should I put the downloaded mod?
Uh what?
It does that automatically just click the check box to install the mods you want
ok
And "Custom Knight" is the skins mod. There's a tutorial and 2 google drives with skins in the pinned messages
Is that the skin or the mod?
Well open the folder and check the readme for how to install it. If you want it that is
im guessing this is the skin then?
Yea, the skin is the stuff on the left, the hatchling.png is an optional extra thing iirc
so I just leave it in downloads?
If you want you can but if you want to actually use the skin that isn't gonna do anything
Unzip the folder in that picture you sent, and open the readme.txt and read that
it just tells you about the mod
k it worked
thank you so much (again)
although it didnt show up XD
Uh, I've never seen half those mods. Also those failed to loads are because you're missing a dependency, I can't tell you which one since i don't know what those mods are, but here's a list of dependencies I know of: SereCore (also called SeanPrCore but Sere is the right version), Vasi, ModCommon, FrogCore, and SFCore.
here im gonna disable most of them
whenever I try to disable one, it just crashes ;-;
nvm its ifne

no i jus joinad
now what i do
I'm trying to enable the "no clip" cheat in the debug mod, but every time I enable it, it instantly disables.
If you wanna fix that, navigate to your “Mods” folder and create a new folder called “Disabled”
no its fine now
do i double click the installer then click yes?
Download it, put it on your desktop and run it. Also check the second pinned message first
ok I can't change the skin to anything else
Hi how do i change the install directory for mod installer?
it come up with this i press yes??
Do you have modcommon installed? And do you have more saves onstalled
Yea
Mod installer 1 or 2?
butits a bot
how do i check which version it is?
no riverrobot
At the top does it say modinstaller 2 or 8.7.1
but its called bot
that is same thing
Nah I’m a bot

what do you mean, does it open at all?
Are you on mac or windows?
Then try the first pinned message
do i press continue or quit
Quit, then make sure the installer is on your desktop and that you run it as administrator
Lets say that I would get any Skin Mod (maybe I would like one). Will installing it will reset my saves and block achievements?
No, your saves will be fine. Achievements will work fine except if you’re using GOG
But steam and in game should be fine
Good choice
what mean run as administrator
Right click the installer and select “Run as administrator”

Launch the game with “CustomKnight” installed, then navigate to your mods folder at “Steam/steamapps/Common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/“ (Steam library > right click hk > properties > local files > browse. to skip straight to /Hollow Knight/) then put the skin folder in the “CustomKnight” folder
woah that hard to read
For confirmation
Does the mod work with any of the game version from 1.5 and up or just with the versions 1.4?
Also, does it works with the GOG version of the game?
it works with gog yes
What about the 1.5 and up versions?
Only 1.4.3.2
Which means for example, doesn't works with 1.4.2.4
Got it
Yep

I’m pretty sure mod folder is in pins right
how do I change my skin for custom knight
@steel depot help me with this pls i dont know wheree mod foler is
no
what are u on
imon window
ok
go to %appdata%
then find steam
then just click on these things in the sequence from left to right
Steam > Steamapps > Common > Hollow Knight > hollow_knight_data > Managed > Mods > CustomKnight
I told you exactly how to
maybe search up how to access common
i found steam in local ill do that
Hey river
this is beinh weird
for some reason it doesn't show customknight installed although when I open hk it shows that I have it installed
i browsed local files and it just shows customhpbar which is another mod I installed
Steam library > right click hk > properties > local files > browse
Yes
k
Sorry what?
Where is this??
it is not working and i cant go out of fullscreen
Send a screenshot of your customknight folder, and alt + enter will toggle full screen
Right click saphire, and select “Extract here”
are you on mac?
?
is extract all the thing i should do
Yes
k
this is in the mods folder
it came up wit this
did you llook in the foldeR?
Thats normal, move that folder into the custom knight folder
do i delete the bottom one
The folder with strange text should be in the customknight folders and then delete the other two
Yes, so move it into the customknight folder then delete the ones called sapphire
k
i got an invisible hollow knight how do i fix it with debug
it looks like this now
That should be good, you’re welcome to rename the file to sapphire if you want
kk
I don’t think debug has anything to fix that
is there a way i can get mods for 1.2.2.1 or do i have to do it at the 1.4
There’s like 1 mod for 1.2.2.1
is that debug?
I think so
coz thats what im trying to get to work for 1.2.2.1
Did you manually install the 1.2.2.1 api and the 1.2.2.1 debug? And why are you trying to do stuff in 1.2.2.1?
(so i can practice skips for 1.2.2.1/nmg any%) i manulayy installed 1.2.2.1 debug not sure where i can get the api thats what i was asking for 🙂
Well, i can’t really help you find that atm
ok how do i change ski nnow
Right click the folder with weird text and select rename then name it whatever you want
yes but how do i equip it im in hollow knight
Oops misread
Open the pause menu, in the top left there’ll be the skin names so just click the sapphire skin
OMG HE IS SO CUTE
randomizer 3 is the one i should get right
yes
k
well thats the newest version
still no 1.5 mod installer right
yep
also
I still have the question
I installed the customknight mod but it shows in-game, when I try to insert a skin it doesn't actually show the customknight mod folder
Again, where is this picture? What folder is this in I can't figure it out
I meant the folder
Is it Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods/
does anyone know the name of the gun mod
Hollow Point
OHHHH
I JUST DISCOVERED WHAT IT WAS

what happens to DebugMod Ñ
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
Don’t send anything from the old modlogs folder, just send the file called ModLog.txt
is this what it should look like?
I meant the inside of it
oh
The files inside it need to be in specific locations
If you’re on Mac, then ignore what I said before about copying a hollow_knight_Data folder, and instead find the CustomKnight folder in it, copy the folder inside that folder, then paste it in the original CustomKnight folder
so I also include the other one?
?
You go in game and click the daughter of hallownest entry in the skins list in the pause menu
it just removed the skin option and I close out of the pause menu and its the samr
Is modcommon enabled
no
CustomKnight requires it
It’s a mod
where
I said save files path
You went to the game files path
Why do people do this so often
Save files are awkward to find and ?saves shows game files right next to game files
yooo it worked
thanks to river for originally installing the mod and someone for helping me figure it out
where is game files
Game files is what you went to in the screenshot you sent
If you want to find the modlog, go to the save files path
Press Windows + R on your keyboard, then paste in %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ and click "Ok"
and now
Send that file in discord
Try deleting all files with debug.globalsettings in their names from the save files path(the same place as the modlog)
how do i set up custom knight?
Can anyone help me on this?
Im trying to test this mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/14?tab=description
But i can't make it work
Its a new file and i was expecting to have a map like super metroid, but not even the shard shop is opened
Or this other mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/15?tab=description
Doesn't seems to work, even tho i installed them with the modinstaller
There's a guide in the pins. As well as two google drives with the actual skins
is there a way to reset rooms by usuing debug mod? like respawn all enemies?
Not that I'm aware of
Can you screenshot your mods folder, (Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse > Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods)
the moment i install mods then my holllllow knight breaks and wont launch anymore, and instead shows this for a few seconds and then doesnt launch.
Also that no essence loss mod seems mostly pointless tbh

oh ok
I've gotten mods before, but now the modmanager looks like its just atuo closing every time I try to open it to get new mods
Latest pinned message
Why?
Because you only lose essence one way and it's by dreamgating, which costs 1, but also more than doubles your chance to get a random 1 essence drop from enemies
I have never beaten this game before, so i don't understand what you mean by dreamgating
And it looks like the mods are installed? Dreamgating spends essence still and maps aren't filled out instantly?
Oh, well that probably explains why they don't seem to be working. You're probably just not familiar with how the systems already are so they seem normal to you still
My idea of these mods are one to avoid lossing the coins i obtain if i die, and the other to auto fill the map, just like it does in super metroid
Or do they work in a different way?
Essence isn't coins
The currency is called geo, and the mod you got doesn't help you keep it on death
That explains it then, and what is essence?
Also, any idea why the map mod is not working? or do i need something else in order to make it work?
By the way, the map seller guy sold the the first map twice, like is that normal?
That's not normal. And I've got no clue, I avoid using nexus and I've never heard of that mod.
Also you'll find out what essence is later
So I got the modinstaller working again and now my controller just doesn't
Are you on mac/linux?
no
o
I like the super metroid / symphony of the night metroidvania style experience, which is why i never returned to play this game, coz is more like a souls game
Which mods do you recommend me?
the only change I made is that I got bench warp as a mod
Uh, try fiddling with steam big picture controller settings
oop, there we go I got it working
I don't really know those games. I personally would say that the experience is best without mods, but if you're going for a Vanilla style playthrough then, EnemyHPBars and CustomKnight (skins for the main character) are nice and don't change much but are just quality of life. And if you want you can try Easy Mode, but that ones a bit buggy
I find vanilla too hardcore, gonna check those mods you mentioned tho
Mostly for the map that doesn't autofill
Well the map mod you got should autofill but I'm not sure and I don't really wanna test it. Easy mode does make you not lose geo on death tho
What is the gun mod called?
Hollow Point
thanks
if nobody's busy could I have help with installing mods for mac? I tried looking at the pinned comments but I left more confused than when i entered lmao
Have you done anything yet?
ive tried downloading installers but they keep saying that it couldnt be loaded all the way
Uh not sure what you mean by that
Okay
So, from the second pin. Follow these steps, if you want context read the pin but essentially you need to downpatch your game
Then after you do that, do this: #archived-modding-help message
me and my friend are trying hollow knight multiplayer and can get into eachothers game, what should we do?
cant*
Sorry im dumb, what do I do when im here? I scroll down and when I click on the mac im still confused.
So basically Unavailable and I have been trying to figure out why we can't connect to eachother in Hollow Knight Multiplayer. We've followed Fireb0rns tutorial and we can't seem to figure out what the issue is. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem may be?
Uhhh, I'm actually not sure and I'm confused too, just stick with this one from the pins i guess #archived-modding-help message
Hey guys my game starts with black screen with the cursor, how to fix it? I've already downgrade/downpatch the game
already followed what's in the pin and it wont update (hollow knight is fully updated too)
Check the 2nd pin
Ah, thanks.

sorry misspelled instal
how does the geo increase work
For?
in bonfire

hey so, I'm playing the rando and I wanted to get the Hunter's Mark (because I'm generally obsessive about getting everything I possibly can), but it seems like it's gonna be impossible to get the entry for Bluggsacs because they start out dead (since the Rancid Eggs have been randomized into something else). is there any way around this?
(also, if this should've been in another channel pls let me know)
@rapid warren yo real quick, I deleted the ModInstaller folder but my Hollow Knight directory is in the D: drive.
so it still doesnt work
oh.
What exactly is the problem?
so I followed the instructions in the pins to resolve the Mod Installer not working issue
the instructions on the most recent pin
im using the installer from Nexus
ModInstaller-9-8-7-1-1616591438
yay I did it
does the mod installer work for the most recent update 1.5.75 ?
No, check the second pinned message
im on keyboard, how do i use the gun in hollow point? readme isnt helping
Tap focus
doesnt work, might just be the mod. thanks.
Quit to menu and reopen the save, also make sure you have modcommon
whats the link to the mod installer for windows?

it installed and downloaded
not the installer
nvm im good
When does the moddingAPI update?
Wdym?
can anyone help me troubleshoot making a skin? my idle animation looks fine on spritepacker, but it's shaky and jittery in game with customknight). specifically there are bits of the side cut off as it moves side to side. it's just the idle animation, the other things i've created so far (dash, airborne) look just fine.
my custom knight doesn't work
Uh, I'm not sure this is the right channel but I also don't know where else to send you. Did you make sure that you drew the sprite in the right spot, some of them are strangely offset, perhaps overlay your sheet with the original sheet and make sure they're all kinda lined up?
How so?
i followed fireb0rn's custom knight tutorial and did all the steps but when i click on the skin that i want to change to nothing happens
- You need ModCommon,
- You need to make sure your path is correct
yes, I even made sure everything's within the red boxes. like i said, looks just fine on spritepacker, I forgot i can take gifs: https://gyazo.com/3f2a1cbcfb4cdd9fbee0d4e822d31512
i have the correct file path
my mods stopped working after the 1.5 update bc modinstaller isn't caught up yet
im on 1.4.3.2
Screen shot the folder of the skin that's not working, from within the area that you can see images, including the path
so the installer worksa
And, are you using Hollow Point?
not currently but i can
No, I was asking because HollowPoint overwrites the skin until you restart
And did you have ModCommon enabled?
hey, can someone help me with a problem please?
so, is the first time i'm using modinstaller (i used to play on ps4), but everytime i install it and select the hollow knight files tells me that my game is outdated, yet i have the most new version, someone knows how to fix this or if i'm doing something wrong?

ohhh i get it now
thx
i didn't knew i'll need to downpatch for using mods, guess i'm going to take a look at #speedrunning
The second pin shows you how to downpatch
does someone know if its possible to find the sprites of the game, in the game files? (steam)
i don't really know
well it would be fun making my own sprites to the game
If it was that simple customknight wouldn't be a mod
I believe custom knight supports some things if you wanna do that, but mostly just knight related things
yea, but i want all sprites
i Guess so
The images/sprites of hollow knight aren't just stored in a way that you can just go quickly edit them for your copy.
That being said, mods to exist (like Custom Knight) that allow you to replace sprites.
Here's a test build of CustomKnight that actually includes this as a feature: #archived-modding-development message
There are Enemy Spirtes pinned in the art chanells IIRC
idk if i uploaded a working 1432 version here at some point in time, but i made a mod called EnemyChanger that allows one to easily dump & edit enemy spritesheets
EnemyChanger: #modding-discussion message
If there was a newer version of it, I'm unaware of it
@pliant lantern thanks so mutch👍
Guess I was wrong
oh yea, definetly not that one, that just makes bosses invisible, i'll look if i backport what i have after work today
@vernal rain oh are there any mod making so you can change the enemy's sprites?
yea, the test build of customknight is one, but you have to precisely tell it which enemies to replace the new skin with afaik
and my one, with no current build being there for 1432 (for now, until i get back from work probably), where you can edit dumped sprites and don't have to tell it precisely which to replace
@vernal rain ok thanks
im new to modding and me confuzed

Especially the second one for that message
although, the first one may be relevant too
ok thanks
Hey i tried downloading the mod installer but when i opened it just said that it didnt have permission to the hollow knight folder. Btw the path its showing is not the hollow knight i installed. I got this pc a couple weeks ago and it turns out the person that owned this pc before me saved the path to it or something. (I did wipe the entire pc when i got it). Anyways it doesnt allow me to download mods. Does anyone know something about this?
If you wiped the entire pc there should be no traces from the last owner.

So i checked it out, tried to navigate to the mods folder but it didnt even exist.
Are you on windows?
yeah
Try the reset file attached. Just download and run it
Alright it worked thanks!
Hey all, do we know when the mod loader will be updated for the latest version of the game?
error with map mod?
Not known yet, it's being worked on.
Cheers! 🙂
Also does anyone know a website to brows custom knight skins? I can't seem to find one
A message with two drives full of CustomKnight skins can be found in the pins of this channel
Thank you 🙂
help?
With?
What mods do you have?
