[novel bronze]

oh

ok

ty

[clear walrus]

How do I fix this happening when I launch the mod installer

[novel bronze]

does mod manager v8.7.1 not work with hollow knight v1.4.3.2?

I when I enable the mods and launch the game they arent there, neither is the mod section in settings

[native ice]

That's the only version it works with

[native ice]

Try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pin

[marsh sparrow]

So, I'm looking at the message linked in the first ping, it says to go to AppData\Local, and delete something, I dont see anything that seems linked to the mod installer, what should be the name of the file I am deleting

[native ice]

ModInstaller, also you may be in the wrong spot

[marsh sparrow]

Alright.

[native ice]

Press Windows + R on your keboard and paste in %appdata%\..\Local

[marsh sparrow]

I found 9 files, should I just delete them all

[clear walrus]

delete just the one that is called ModInstaller

[radiant ravine]

what is thte most recent patch for the modinstaller the one i got from nexus is out of date i think

[dawn pulsar]

me too it keeps saying me that i need the most recent version of the game but its already installed

[radiant ravine]

yea

[clear walrus]

you have to go to steam betas and select the 1.4.3.2 patch

[radiant ravine]

theres a beta?

oh

thanks!

[clear walrus]

np

[dawn pulsar]

thanks!

[radiant ravine]

is the mod manager just not updating anymore beyond this patch?

[native ice]

?i Don't get your installer from nexus

[dense shuttle]

[radiant ravine]

ok!

[pliant lantern]

It will eventually. The Modding API and the Mods need to be updated to release versions before it matters tho

[shadow parcel]

Even though I have hollow knight updated it gives me this message when i try to run the mod installer. What do I do?

[shadow parcel]

ah, ok

[vital shuttle]

Okay so I have a weird problem. Modinstaller just keeps crashing on me

I can install mods just fine, but if I try to disable or uninstall a mod the app just crashes

(i am on macOS 10.14.6 and also HK 1.4.3.2 installed through GOG if that matters)

[vital shuttle]

i've tried with the game open and with it closed, no dice. the only thing that works to disable mods is to reinstall the game and then reinstall my mods except the one I want to disable, which really sucks

no wait i mixed that up

if i want to disable all mods i need to reinstall the game, if i want to disable one mod removing the mod folder works

[native ice]

Don't disable just uninstall, or if you want to actually fix the problem: Navigate to your mods folder (Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse > \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\Mods) and create a new folder called "Disabled"

[vital shuttle]

uninstalling crashes too

[native ice]

oh wait uninstalling crashes, missed that part. That's odd, are you using mi2?

[vital shuttle]

yes

[little kettle]

what do i do once i have selected it?

is that it

[wheat vigil]

1.5 didn't add that much, you can just go back to 1.4.

[little kettle]

ok

[wheat vigil]

Just added bug fixes and crap like that

[little kettle]

so is there no save button, i can just play now?

[wheat vigil]

If you've put it to 1.4, You should just need to reinstall it, than yes.

[little kettle]

so i uninstall on steam?

right

just checking bc im not very good at this

[wheat vigil]

Lol, its ok

[little kettle]

ok thanks, so i just do that then?

oh, it auto doing it lol

[wheat vigil]

Yup, enable all the mods you want. (If you want a more RPG experience / Getting op but not stupid op, I recommend Bonfire. Try it out at some point!)

[little kettle]

yeah i used that one tysm

[wheat vigil]

@little kettle did it work for you?

[analog tendon]

How do i host a server for my friend in Hollow Knight with the multiplayer mods? Im using hamachi

[obtuse bane]

banana or panini

[native ice]

If you have a hamachi network set up, go in game, put in the hosts hamachi ipv4 in the address bar, 26950 in the port bar, and a nickname in the last bar. Then connect to the server, make sure the host connects first

[knotty dragon]

how do i activate the menu for toggleable bindings?

the readme says its down + superdash, but it doesnt seem to work

[native ice]

Go near a bench, hold the down direction, and tap the cdash key

[knotty dragon]

oh u have to be on a bench?

[native ice]

not on

near

otherwise it just won't let you change

but it'll bring up the menu anywhere

[knotty dragon]

oh nevermind, i was also pressing the down arrow key which is not down in my bindings

hey, i'm a mac user, and after downpatching to 1432 it says i dont have permission to open it, anyone know how to fix this?

im new to modding so im probably just dumb but anything helps

nevermind, the post in pins seemed to fix it

[naive crystal]

if i choose "radiant" in the easier pantheon practice mod, will it just be like P5 Practice but you die in one hit?

[native ice]

Open the pause menu in hall of gods, there's a setting for "Hitless Practice". Radiant isn't like p5 in pantheon practice

[naive crystal]

thanks

[novel bronze]

hey is there a mod for mac that lets me be invincible lmao

[native ice]

OS shouldn't matter, and you want Debug Mod

[hybrid kernel]

I just tried making a second install folder on 1432 to keep as a modded version, but no matter which exe I use, the game always launches on the patch I have selected on steam, how might I go about fixing this?

[austere gate]

you should be able to just opt into the beta

[native ice]

Not what they're asking

?guides

[dense shuttle]

https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guides

[austere gate]

ahh sorry

[hybrid kernel]

Yeah

[native ice]

Are you following the steps in this? https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/jlten

[hybrid kernel]

Do I actually need to download using the steam console? What I did was copy the files from the beta into a new folder, and then opted back out.

[native ice]

In the guide I linked, scroll down to the part about "Multiple Installed Patches", it seems simple enough

[hybrid kernel]

I made the simplest mistake I possibly could have made, I forgot the underscore in the app id text file lol

[vernal rain]

[hybrid kernel]

[willow fulcrum]

do mods work if im borrowing the game from someone elses steam library or do i have to own it myself

Nope

thank you so much

it started the download and i got scared cause im 35 hours in at 110%

[pliant lantern]

If you're ever worried, you can just backup your saves, FYI

How do I fix the bug in multiplayer where thr other players don't look like they're moving

@native ice i did what u said to me yesterday but im still getting this error

its saying that another process is using "baldur.png"

[native ice]

Uh, I'm not sure

[native ice]

If you're using LAN I believe you need to put in your actual IP address instead of the hamachi ipv4, and the port should probably stay the same but I'm not certain

[daring laurel]

i think just press continue?

[brazen pasture]

try to like logout and login to windows again

[limber egret]

I believe somebody else had this issue recently and it just worked anyway. Just hit continue

[brazen pasture]

it should kill any process that was using it in case you want the file to be copied

else hitting continue should work too since most people dont modify their default skin folders

[whole yew]

when i hit continue nothing happens and still looks like this

[fair briar]

close the installer and open it again

Make sure that only the host has the multiplayer server mod, also try both restarting your games and trying again

[dire sedge]

Ok so the client has ModCommon, ModdingAPI, Multiplayer client

The server has ModCommon, ModdingAPI, Multiplayer client and server

[native ice]

Exactly

[dire sedge]

Is it right?

ok

so

in game

We connect both to the server with the hamachi IP

We can see us but not moving

[native ice]

Have you both restarted your games

[dire sedge]

Yes

We can try again

but I dunno

So?

What should I do?

[native ice]

Well, this other multiplayer mod is more stable and may work better so try it out instead. https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP and more information: https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743

[pliant thicket]

hi, just installed the Debug Mod for the Set spawn/Respawn function. But when I die I still respawn at the last bench and if I click Respawn in the debug menu the game just freezes. Any tips if I'm doing something wrong?

[native ice]

Those buttons don't do what you think, I think the best you'll get for something like that is benchwarp to set a bench wherever you want, or maybe a save state with debug

[pliant thicket]

oh silly me, I was looking for a way to make save states and thought that was the way...

[limber egret]

You want the save state funnction

[pliant thicket]

that's in the Debug Mod also?

[limber egret]

Yep

[pliant thicket]

perfect!

[limber egret]

In the box just to the right of the pause menu scroll through for save and load states

Obviously save states will mean that whatever you did before the load state will need to be redone, it's not a respawn

It completely reverts the game to that moment.

[pliant thicket]

even better then

thanks for the help

Hey ya!
I just started using LiveSplit to stream my speedruns for my friends
I have a problem though, the liveplit is only sometimes overlapping the game, and sometimes not, and I can't seem to figure out why. Any ideas?

Maybe try asking in #speedrunning? They're probably way more familiar with LiveSplit. Also check the pins of speedrunning because there's a separate speedrunning discord server that you may want access too

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

and like 90% of germany has a password on their pc

[fair briar]

always have a password on your pc folks

then open the installer, or don't open the installer and enjoy vanilla

[full hazel]

oh thx

[fair briar]

as soon as you open the installer it will be modded again

[ivory aurora]

just ask what it is smh

[pliant lantern]

This is true.
||And probably make the password 15 digits minimum. But be aware that a password alone doesn't prevent someone from viewing your files if they have physical access to the machine.||

[ivory aurora]

what's the spoiler mark for

[fair briar]

no 15 way too much for my 3 braincells to handle

[fickle parrot]

Just make it some random number 10/10 passoword

[fair briar]

i have 12, enough?

[pliant lantern]

I added spoiler because I didn't want to take away from the main point with the additional information.

[gloomy coral]

i only have pin code lol

[fair briar]

yet that still happened

[honest flax]

time to buy a sata-2 to usb 🥴

[pliant lantern]

15 is because old windows machines (and still many password systems) don't actually go over 14 characters, so brute force methods often don't go for more than 14 characters.

[fair briar]

encrypt all your data, and they even can't with physical access

[pliant lantern]

But again, passwords in general as the only form of security is essentially just helping to prevent cyber compromises. Windows literally allows you to bypass passwords with physical machine access.

[fair briar]

yeah, but you need to know a bit about the pc

but i gtg

[pliant lantern]

I mean.. not really

||windows will automatically remove all passwords if you plug a Harddrive containing windows, into another machine that contains the same or newer version of windows.||

here it is

iirc customknight never loads the default skin, it just removes the skin and uses the in-game ones (although you'd need to ask dandy)

[honest flax]

wait

[fair briar]

is there an mods option in options

[honest flax]

i think that's what happens

i just switched to grimm knight and back

[untold hazel]

nope 😦

[fair briar]

open the installer

[untold hazel]

ok

[gloomy coral]

I don't think this is true

[untold hazel]

i took out all the mods acept the one i wanted

[gloomy coral]

If you alt f4 the game

[fair briar]

oh idk then, thought dandy said that

[gloomy coral]

I should've typed the whole message in one go lol

[fair briar]

if you alt f4 then what

[gloomy coral]

In my experience it loads the default skin

[fair briar]

wierd

[untold hazel]

also every time i open and close the mod manager i have to renable the mods

[gloomy coral]

I've never tried without alt f4 ing because I don't give a damn about my saves anymore

[fair briar]

reset the installer

[untold hazel]

ive done that a couple times and it doesnt seem to work

[fair briar]

i almost always alt f4, so i don't update my saves xD

but i have them all backed up, so i don't actuallly need to alt f4

Does custom knight work with Hollow Point? I can't seem to get it to work

[untold hazel]

its working now thanks for the help

[real jacinth]

yes. go into a save with hollow point disabled. set the skin you want.

then close out of the game, enable hollow point again, and play

[formal trellis]

I tried that, but it didn't work. I mean, I'll try it again

Yeah, no, doesn't work

[real jacinth]

you're closing out of the game completely when making mod changes right

[formal trellis]

Yes

completely

[real jacinth]

when you set the skin with hollow point disabled, did it change

[formal trellis]

yes

but then when I quit the game, enabled hollow point, and loaded it up again, it shows the classic skin

[real jacinth]

you're not alt+f4ing right

[formal trellis]

No, I'm quiting out of the game

[real jacinth]

try to do that with just customknight

see if the skin is remembered

[formal trellis]

It is, it does

but when I put on hollow point it goes back to the normal skin

[real jacinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[formal trellis]

even if I set myself to default, have hollow point on, set it to the skin I want, then close out and disable hollow point, and go back in, it shows the skin I chose, but the moment I turn hollow point back on it shows the normal skin

[meager bane]

oh, oops, i thought that channel was only for speedrunning

[limber egret]

Yeah, that's a bit erroneous, but Rando for some reason comes under speedrunning 🤷

[limber egret]

Yep

[novel bronze]

Where do i find the modinstallr

[warm plank]

[limber egret]

I assume you mean "1.4.3.2". Screenshot your installer and screenshot the hollow knight main menu

[wheat vigil]

1.4.3.2 - 32-bit compatibility to be exact

yea lol

[limber egret]

Yeah, good stuff

[warm plank]

i should select this beta?

[novel bronze]

i know but the one i have is not new i can't play randomizer and i don't have knight costum

[wheat vigil]

Do you mean modinstaller?

[novel bronze]

.

hello?

[limber egret]

Yep

[novel bronze]

helloioooo

[limber egret]

Need the whole screen

[limber egret]

I don't understand what you're asking. The mod installer just has the mods on it. If you want a more up to date version of a mod you'll need to find it. Specifically for randomiser there's one in the pinned messages of #randomizer

[tight iron]

Hello, I Am Attempting to use mods again and I tried to use randomizer, but whenever i start the game, the screen is stuck in a weird position. This position is looking at the geo to the left of the kings pass starting room. When i attempt to move, nothing happens. If I try to press Esc, nothing happens either.

I Am Using Steam on the Beta Version 1.4.3.2

[real jacinth]

sounds like you're missing a dependency mod

modcommon, qol, serecore, and vasi are needed for rando

[tight iron]

I Have all of those installed

and activated

[limber egret]

Screenshot your main menu for me

[limber egret]

Ty. Can you screenshot the mod installer also

[tight iron]

Oh wait, Vasi is not enabled, let me try again

[tight iron]

It is fixed, thank you

[limber egret]

Looks like you're just missing the modding API at this point. Check the pinned messages for how to reset your mod installer

[wheat vigil]

oh ur right

[wheat vigil]

which pinned msg? I don't wanna mess this up lol

[limber egret]

In fact it could be one of these. Check this post.

[wheat vigil]

Um nope

Uh wait let me test something

[limber egret]

Make sure you're looking at both the first and third thing on that post

Failing that

[wheat vigil]

nv mnope

ok

[limber egret]

.

[wheat vigil]

Should Modding API be in the modinstaller?

[limber egret]

It installs it automatically

[wheat vigil]

Well its not there

[limber egret]

If currently thinks it's already installed, so isn't trying to

[unborn nest]

Yo where were charm costs stored again

[limber egret]

The message I just replied to can reset it.

[wheat vigil]

Ok

[fathom hornet]

hey, i have a little question. it isn't important. but, is it possible to get this skin? (and if possible, how could i get it?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW1nzb-UwAo

[limber egret]

I believe that one is just in the TWP skins folder, which is linked in the pinned messages

[wheat vigil]

Should I follow the Windows Installer 1 rules, or the WIndows Installer 2 rules?

[fathom hornet]

im going to check, thanks

[limber egret]

1

[limber egret]

Might have better luck asking in #archived-modding-development

[wheat vigil]

Ok so after I delete the Modinstaller folder, I should reopen Modinstaller... Correct?

[limber egret]

Looks like it, yeah

[wheat vigil]

So what path should I put it on... is it C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/Common/Hollow Knight?

[fair ibex]

doesn't matter where you put the modinstaller

[novel bronze]

How do i set up the Twitch Plays mod?

[wispy star]

hey isnt there a gun mod

[ivory aurora]

there is, actually

[terse estuary]

How do I use modinstaller on an older patch?

[wispy star]

but i cant get it with the mod installer

[wispy star]

u cant

[real jacinth]

yes you can

[terse estuary]

Ok what do I have to do to get the randomizer mod working on an old patch

[real jacinth]

it's called hollow point

[real jacinth]

what patch

[terse estuary]

1432

[real jacinth]

you use the installer

i dunno what jeffly is saying

[terse estuary]

Installer says I have the wrong version and won’t start

[real jacinth]

then you're not on 1432

you have to downpatch your game with the beta

[terse estuary]

I have a downpatched version of the game on my pic

[wheat vigil]

It didn't work 😦

[terse estuary]

Pc

How do I tell modinstaller to use that instead of the normal one

[real jacinth]

#archived-modding-help message

have you done this

[ivory aurora]

what version is it, garnix

[wispy star]

oki were and how

[ivory aurora]

Just use 1.4.3.2

[wheat vigil]

Yes, But I'll retry it

[real jacinth]

wdym

[ivory aurora]

On the modinstaller, scroll down until you find it and click install

[wispy star]

did that and this

@ivory aurora

[real jacinth]

it's not called gun mod

it's hollow point

like i told you

[wispy star]

that?

[wheat vigil]

@real jacinth Nope, The only problem I'm having is that in ModInstaller 1 "Modding API" Is not showing up.

[real jacinth]

it doesnt show up in the list

[fair briar]

yes

[vernal rain]

yes

[terse estuary]

Well I have current patch and downpatched versions. And modinstaller can’t be openend because it says I don’t have the last stable version or something

[ivory aurora]

Depends
Is it called Hollow Point?

[real jacinth]

yes, because you told it to install at your 1.5 location

so you have to tell it where your 1432 is

reset it

[terse estuary]

Ok lemme try

[wheat vigil]

Nothings working... I'm just gonna stop

[real jacinth]

why

did you do the link that I sent?

and did the installer show an API downloading bar

[wheat vigil]

No

And Yes I did

[real jacinth]

screenshot your managed folder

[wispy star]

oki so i have the mod and

[real jacinth]

read the readme

[wispy star]

idk how to use the gun

[real jacinth]

read the readme

[wispy star]

???

[real jacinth]

of the mod

[wispy star]

readme?

[real jacinth]

the instruction manual for the mod

yes

[real jacinth]

also why the mod has (see readme) by it

[dire sedge]

Is there any way to teleport my friend to me with HKMP.dll server?

[real jacinth]

and you reopened the modinstaller after?

you have no assembly files at all

[wheat vigil]

Yes

[real jacinth]

not just unminimize

[wheat vigil]

?

[real jacinth]

close it, and relaunch it

[wheat vigil]

The ones I'm supposed to delete?

ok

[fair briar]

no, unless you use benchwarp to warp to the nearest bench

[wispy star]

oki but how do i switch form nail to gun

[real jacinth]

read the readme

[wheat vigil]

Ok I did it

do I open HK now?

[real jacinth]

if you read the readme, your questions will be answered

[real jacinth]

did it download something

[wheat vigil]

Did what download something?

It asked me what path and then opened

[real jacinth]

boy, if only there was a lot more text to read

including a "controls" section

🤔

[wispy star]

hmmmm

lol

[real jacinth]

big think

[real jacinth]

the installer

if it opened and showed you the mod list again, then yeah. launch your game

[wheat vigil]

Alright what version do I go on? 1.5 or 1.4

(or beta)

[real jacinth]

what

[wheat vigil]

The hollow knight version

[real jacinth]

you have multiple installs?

[wheat vigil]

No?

[real jacinth]

then you should be on 1.4.3.2

[wheat vigil]

ok

[real jacinth]

before opening the installer at all

[dusk fjord]

How do I uninstall mod installer 2?

[real jacinth]

otherwise any changes you make are going to be undone

[real jacinth]

you left click it once, and press the delete key

[wispy star]

oki but now i cant help

heal

[dusk fjord]

ok

[real jacinth]

read the readme

[wheat vigil]

Bruh

Didn't work

I've been trying this for a day, I give up

[real jacinth]

did you just switch the beta patch thing to 1432 now?

after opening the installer again?

or had you already done that?

the order matters

[wheat vigil]

Yes

[real jacinth]

yes what

[wheat vigil]

I did switch the beta patch thing

[real jacinth]

when

[wheat vigil]

After opening the installer

[real jacinth]

then you have to do this again

#archived-modding-help message

b/c you just undid what the installer changed

[ivory aurora]

☝️

Make sure you do everything in the right order

Sorry for the ping

[real jacinth]

[ivory aurora]

Thought I turned it off

Honestly I have no idea how you don't go crazy answering questions in here

[real jacinth]

that's what the alcohol is for

[vernal rain]

the s in mickely stands for sober

[real jacinth]

^

[ivory aurora]

Cheers I guess

[terse estuary]

Ok so I cant find a way to have modinstaller go to a downpatched version. The download is just a .exe that won’t work

[real jacinth]

what?

your 1432 version is just an exe?

that's not right

[terse estuary]

No the installer is

[ivory aurora]

The downpatch should be on the game, not the installer

[real jacinth]

so what's the problem

[ivory aurora]

What's your game version

[real jacinth]

you reset the installer

then tell it your 1432 game path

[terse estuary]

How do I reset

[carmine meteor]

ok thanks anyway :)

[real jacinth]

[wispy star]

oh well ill just not use spells cuz it dousent work

[real jacinth]

yes it does

read the mechanics section

the soul meter is not related to spells at all anymore

[wispy star]

ik

[carmine meteor]

are you using the quick cast button?

[real jacinth]

"you have a maximum of 3 adrenaline points. using spells will always consume all of it"

so.... build adrenaline to use spells

spells are stronger the more adrenaline you have

[wispy star]

ha but i cant use them

[wispy star]

yes

it just changes the cardinal directions

[real jacinth]

b/c you don't have adrenaline

[wispy star]

nope

[real jacinth]

so press down or up

while pressing quick cast

if you're not pressing up or down and you press quick cast, it will change the firing mode

[wispy star]

oki

[real jacinth]

what about it. did you install the mod? did you download skins? where'd you put the skins?

[brave shell]

so

[honest flax]

where do i get mod installer 3

can sfg give me mod installer 3

[vernal rain]

it's not done and i hate that garbage of qt

[brave shell]

i found my issue

i need to go back another patch

how do i get to 1.2.4c

[limber egret]

The method to get to 1432 is in the pins

[brave shell]

u sure

actually

i dont think that is my problem

i dont know what im doing wrong

[honest flax]

what's qt

h

[vernal rain]

a gui framework

[wispy star]

which skin is it

[brave shell]

acid

[wispy star]

ha

i see

idk about that one but i think its sm to do with unziping

[native ice]

In what way is it not working?

[brave shell]

i just launch hollow knight

i pause to change skin

and all i can do

is revert to default

[native ice]

Screenshot your customknight folder

[brave shell]

i got u

[wispy star]

ima leave this to u i gtg

[brave shell]

great now my steam aint lettin me paste

there u go

[native ice]

Unzip the folders

[brave shell]

alr

[native ice]

Also bloodknight is a shortcut, delete that and put the actual bloodknight skin in that folder

[brave shell]

how do you

unzip

sorry im new to akk this

[native ice]

Right click the folder and select “Extract”, you may need a program like winrar or 7zip

[brave shell]

next?

[honest flax]

Windows already has features for unzipping compressed folders

You need 7zip for rar, 7z files

[native ice]

Oh woops

[brave shell]

yeah

i have progress

yet it still dont work

[honest flax]

Fun fact, 7zip also supports exe files that are packed together with IExpress wizard or even tar.gz files i think

[brave shell]

anyways so

basically

[honest flax]

...

This is a shortcut

Not an actual compressed folder

[brave shell]

yeah i know

thats not what im using

[honest flax]

You just right click the zip and click extract

Did you do that?

Oh and the extracted folders have to be in customknight folder

[native ice]

Make sure the folder structure matches this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/856281982215651363/CustomKnight_File_Example.png

[brave shell]

ok

see mine looks different

man

i might just give up

this is so stupid

[honest flax]

um

i have a solution

[brave shell]

i dont understand lmao

[honest flax]

i made a program similar to mod installer once

except for installing skins

[brave shell]

ok

exactly

[honest flax]

https://github.com/KaanGaming/SkinInstaller/releases/tag/SI1.0.0
try this

blood knight doesnt work tho

[brave shell]

it blocked the download

apparenetly dangerous

[honest flax]

it's safe

[brave shell]

ok so

i have it

[honest flax]

did it work?

?

[brave shell]

skin installer?

should i just

run hollow knight with custim knight

[honest flax]

i mean install some skins and try

[brave shell]

from anywhere?

[honest flax]

it should just automatically download zips of skins and unzip then

[brave shell]

is this right?

[honest flax]

yeah

this is right

oh you already have skins

cool

now launch hollow knight

[brave shell]

nope

no luvk

[honest flax]

wait

[brave shell]

luck

[honest flax]

are mods visible?

go to options from main menu

then check if there is a mods tab

[brave shell]

there is yeah

[honest flax]

huh

is customknight on?

[brave shell]

yep

[honest flax]

ohhh

hmm

[brave shell]

then just update

🙂

[high locust]

[untold hazel]

does anyone know how to turn off the infinite soul while using the redwing mod?

[placid nymph]

does any one know how to get the mod installer to work for mac

[real jacinth]

yeah. you download the mac one

then run it

[placid nymph]

the modintaller keeps quitting unexpectedly

[real jacinth]

did you get the mac one from pins?

[placid nymph]

yeah

[real jacinth]

this

[placid nymph]

?

oh i see now

[real jacinth]

is that the one you have? or no

[placid nymph]

yeah

[real jacinth]

put on desktop, right click and open package contents then open the application file named modinstaller

[placid nymph]

ill do that now

I think it worked

thanks man

[half mural]

hi my controller won't work after using the mod installer, everything else works fine except that

[placid nymph]

for some reason now hollow night is quitting unexpectedly

I am sorry for giving you guys a hard time

[real jacinth]

second pin

you have to be on patch 1432

[placid nymph]

how to do that

[real jacinth]

change your steam controller settings or use a controller to keyboard mapping program like joy2key

[real jacinth]

second pin

[placid nymph]

ok

[high locust]

hi me and my friend try to play together but if we type in the ip adress like the guide says we dont connect at all and nothing happens

[native ice]

Do you have a hamachi network?

[high locust]

yes

[native ice]

Did you put 26950 as the port?

[high locust]

yes

[native ice]

There isn't a red circle or a warning in hamachi?

[high locust]

no

there is no red circle

[native ice]

Both players have ModCommon and Multiplayer Client, but only the host has Multiplayer Server?

[high locust]

we both have it

[native ice]

Only the host of the server should have the Server mod

[high locust]

ok we will try thx

[novel bronze]

hii!! so my friend is trying to install the mod installer and they're having problems with setting it up
they say that they can't really access any folder(?) for the installer and they're having trouble accessing it because they need to choose a folder before it's fully done installing
is there anyway to have them properly install it?

[native ice]

That doesn't really make sense

[native ice]

Are you saying that their installer is asking for the games file path?

[novel bronze]

ohh yeah sorry my english isn't too good haha

[native ice]

Can they send a screenshot or picture of what the problem is? I wanna be sure I tell you to do the right things

[novel bronze]

yeah one second

theyre not in the server but i have an image on what it showed for them
it said beforehand to select their hollow knight file path and showed this

this too

[real jacinth]

so click the arrows next to the directories until you get to where the game is

[native ice]

Ah okay, they have the game on steam?

[novel bronze]

yes they do

[novel bronze]

they tried doing that but it only showed these

[native ice]

Then tell them to go to their steam library > right click hollow knight > click properties > click local files > click browse, from there it'll open up a folder. That's the folder the mod installer wants, so they should check the pathing at the top of the folder and follow the same pathing in the installer window

[novel bronze]

alright will do

[novel bronze]

they're following the directions i got from you to tell them in return and because i said from here it doesn't show up even though they go in the exact order

[native ice]

Well the image you linked definitely isn't the right place. I believe the standard pathing is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Common\Hollow Knight\

[novel bronze]

ohh alright

can anyone there help me set up the twitch plays mod?

i'm having a lot of trouble

[native ice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhDjN72SlQ0

what mods do you need to play multiplayer?

[native ice]

Mod Common, Multiplayer Client, and the host needs Multiplayer Server. Also, instead of the one on the installer it's probably better to use this one called HKMP or Hollow Knight Multiplayer. Check the readme on the github for more information https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP

so when i click on the mod installer 2 for mac or modinstaller.zip from the pinned messages it takes me to a page that just says untitled at the top

i did the downpatch earlier if that helps

[native ice]

Like a browser page?

[novel bronze]

yeah

[native ice]

You removed the modinstaller from the zipped folder and ran the application?

[novel bronze]

I cant even do that it wont download

[native ice]

Oh wait

When you download the folder from the pins it gives you that?

[novel bronze]

it wont dowload nothing happens, when i click on it takes me to the untitled page
