Hi all! I started playing around with Unity and C# in the beginning of this year. A few days ago, I downloaded dnSpy and made a few changes to HK. I would love to make this a mod that other people could download and use, but I have no idea where to begin. Not a developer, just a curious guy. What should I do?

And “cancel”?

hk beta downpatch is stuck at 100% and patching

native ice
# quasi wagon yup

After you reset the installed make sure you path it to the correct spot, it should stop in the “Hollow Knight” folder with the hollow_knight application in it. To find this folder go to the steam library > right click hk > properties > local files> browse > check the pathing of the folder. Also be sure that the installer is on your desktop and you run it as administrator

You tap focus to switch between gun and nail and tap attack to fire the gun. Also if your gun isn’t working quit to menu and relaunch the save, and make sure you have modcommon

It was most recent stable and it was because it had updated to the 1.5

I'm really wondering: then how did you think mods were made?

No idea how they are made

Either way, you have your answer. You need to be able to code in c#. If/when you have learned c#, you can head to #archived-modding-development to find guides on how to create mods with it.

Hi guys, after using mods I can't change the game from fullscreen. Is it normal or can I change it?

limber egret

That button doesn't work in modded for some reason. You'll have to revert to vanilla to change it, then swap back to modded.

whoud randomizer work with multiplayer hamachii?

fair briar
radiant ore
#

this is probably a dumb question, but have the mods been updated to support 1.5 or is it too wonky?

#

and if you had to revert to an old version, would it get rid of save files?

#

mostly the second question though

#

because the pins said it would not

fair briar
#

mods dont work on 1.5 and you keep your saves

radiant ore
#

ok cool, ty lol

#

im still working on my casual playthrough but wanted to try a rando because it seemed fun

#

so just wanted to make sure first

river lagoon
#

i am getting the error "Invalid Hollow Knight Path. Select the Hollow Knight folder containing"

it would help if i knew what it wanted it to contain

are you trying to install the mod manager?

#

yea

fair briar
#

where did you get the game

river lagoon
#

i did get it on steam but i need to use the exe and stuff outside of steam for reasons so it isnt in the steam path so i thought if i give it the path which is in desktop then it would work

#

do i NEED it in the steam path

fair briar
#

fine, i hope you're not a pirate and are just lying to me...
||you need to select the folder which contains the hollow knight.exe||

river lagoon
#

I promise i'm not

#

pirating is dumb

silk dagger
#

"stuff outside of steam for reasons"

#

what reasons may i ask

river lagoon
#

i have lots of respect to team cherry for their game

river lagoon
fair briar
#

does said folder also contain Hollow Knight Data?

river lagoon
fair briar
#

the installer searches for the Hollow Knight_Data folder

#

so make sure to select the folder which contains that

#

not data itself

river lagoon
silk dagger
#

the version is 1.4.3.2 correct? because when i tried to install on 1.5 it gave me that same error

fair briar

river lagoon
#

oh so i cant use latest version

fair briar

ahhh okay

so is that it

yep, just do that and then put the game directory into the mod manager

then you can pick which mods you want to download

do mods work only with steam version or any version

do mods disable achivements

you can revert the mods if you ever need to though

is there an option to disable/enable mods within the game menu or will starting the game with a shitton of mods enabled just break it

#

just before i open the game and potentially freeze my pc

fair briar
#

you can enable and disable mods in game, but only mods that support it

#

options > mods

novel bronze
#

alright ty, do all of the mods packaged with the modinstaller support that? or will i just have to find out which do/dont

fair briar
#

some do some not

novel bronze
#

alright thanks

limber egret
#

You can create a folder called "disabled" inside your mods folder and just move ones you don't want to use into that

novel bronze
#

yeah i’m probably gonna disable any major mods for now and just leave skins and custom bosses on constantly bc i think the game probably won’t shit itself with those

#

i think the indie crossover mod caused it to straight up crash bc i disabled that and now the game is starting

limber egret
#

Yeah, I would recommend not putting too many on at once as it will just crash the game. (Or at least take so long to load it might as well have crashed.)

#

I believe indie crossover is multiple new bosses, so it's almost as intense as running multiple custom boss mods.

novel bronze
#

so far it’s going good ive managed to load a save

#

ooooops left multiple gameplay changing mods on and now i’ve done something interesting

limber egret
#

I always recommend backing up your saves, and also only trying to load new files for modded playthroughs.

fair briar

would it be advisable to load up a new godhome file to test stuff out instead of using my main save so i don’t accidentally cheat/break it

so um i have hollow knight on the gamepass is there any way to mod it there cause i tried it but the modthingi doesnt want to go in the files there so im pretty confused and if there isnt any way to do that can i get the game on steam somehow (i already tried that and i already gave me permission to open the ´´WindowsApps´´ folder?) but it still didnt work.

fair briar
#

nope, sadly only steam or GoG

void gust
#

ok but can i add it to steam via the ADD A GAME tool or so?

fair briar
#

no

#

that doesn't make it a steam game

i'm trying to get a background of the junk pit without the godseeker

#

if you find someone that has ripped the game

no

#

how to go to 1.4 in pins. 2nd one

#

so im new to doing hollow knight mods and i just did the custom knight mods, is there a way to make custom skins? if so is there like a tutorial i can watch or read on it?

thank you

Why does my mod installer do this when I run it

river lagoon
#

will mods only work on 1.4 for mac as well

#

or does the mod for mac work for 1.5 on mac

river lagoon
clear walrus
#

this pops up after and the modding api in game doesnt even work

unknown.png
#

I tried the solution on one of the pins but that didnt help

river lagoon
#

i think u need to delete the data in appdata and give the directroy for hollow knight

#

im not an expert just saying

clear walrus
#

the only way ive fixed this was deleting every last file the game would have

river lagoon
#

in appdata then roaming

clear walrus
#

ok ill try that

river lagoon
#

it should be called HKModinstaller

desert orchid
#

quick question, does the current mod installer work for all versions before 1.4.3.2 or only works exclusively for 1.4.3.2

river lagoon
#

delete that file and then reopen mod installer and then if the problem was that it couldn't find the hollow directory then it should ask for it

river lagoon
clear walrus
#

I dont see anything in roaming but I know that its in local but ive tried deleting that but the installer still doesnt work

river lagoon
#

k

#

soz but im not an expert so i dont rly know

clear walrus
#

its ok thx for trying

how do i link my hollow knight instalation path

#

does anyone know what the beta access code for hollow knight 1.4.3.2 32-bit compatibility is?

vernal rain
#

#

just leave it empty

#

i use game pass version, does it matter?

river lagoon
#

wait, is this on xbox

vernal rain
gloomy veldt

only steam and gog

#

you don't need to interact with the bottom half of that thing at all, just select 1.4.3.2 in the dropdown, then x out of it

gloomy veldt
#

wait, i cant mod on xbox or i cant mod on game pass?

vernal rain
#

steam will 'up'date the game at that point

gloomy veldt
#

and i could send the game to steam right?

vernal rain

The mod is designed for people to play with each other, not to find random people to play with FYI. You will need to agree to play with people first.

Hey so I got mods to work for a little bit, then when I tried to play the game again I’m just stuck, can’t move my character, can’t see the character, can’t force quit. I’m on Mac if that helps

radiant ore
#

how long ago did you get them to work for a little bit

novel bronze
#

About 20 minute

radiant ore
#

you may have loaded too many mods and the mac can't handle it

#

which ones did you load

novel bronze
#

Two things, custom knight and bench warp, but when opened the game it had installed mods that I personally didn’t click install on

radiant ore
#

like what

novel bronze
#

The art mods? I think that’s what they’re list as in the mod summary

radiant ore
#

hm

#

idk then

#

i dont know a whole lot about the mods, but if you had done like a custom bossfight or something that can be a lot for your computer to handle

novel bronze
#

No no nothing like that

radiant ore
#

so it was working, then you tabbed out, then tabbed back in and it froze?

real jacinth
novel bronze
#

Okay I installed the mod installer, after it was done, opened the game, it was working, then I installed custom knight (no skins at the time), and benchwarp, I opened the game again and it had all these mods, that I didn’t install, so I figured out what they were from, I’m pretty sure the art mod, when I opened the game they were gone, I used a new save and played, but I’m just stuck, I can’t do anything/see anything besides a geo pile and have to force quit through steam cause the I can’t use my mouse if I don’t

#

And before that I downpatched the game

I'm having this problem for a few weeks now and I tried deleting the folder but it didn't work.

My controller still isn’t working

#

Whenever i click install for a mod it says central directory corrupt any ideas on how to fix?

native ice
# novel bronze It’s not working

So, the modinstaller actually installs the windows modding api instead of the one for mac, which causes controllers to not work sometimes. You'll have to manually install the correct one. What you'll have to do is download it, unzip it, find the assembly csharp files inside it, and replace the already existing csharp files in your game files. Here's the link to download it: https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/download/1.4.3.2-60/Unix.zip

#

Only steam and gog can be modded

there should be two c sharp files in the download, correct?

I got this when I was trying to install a mod. IT happened again after I tried to install it again.

damn i replaced two am i good?

Oh, actually, 2 is fine

#

ok thanks'

pliant lantern
novel bronze
#

yeah those two

pliant lantern
#

Those are the files you want to add to the folder

novel bronze
#

is that all for controller problen

pliant lantern
#

Yeah

#

While you're there tho

novel bronze
#

thx

#

?

pliant lantern
#

In your Mods folder

novel bronze
#

yeah

pliant lantern
#

check to see if you have "Disabled"

#

if you don't, you should add that too

#

That'll prevent a Mod Installer 2 crash

novel bronze
#

wheres the mods folder

native ice
novel bronze
#

ok the first pinned message helped with the error thanks

#

no i dont have disabled

pliant lantern
#

contents -> resources -> data -> managed -> mods

#

in that mods folder

novel bronze
#

also where do iput the custom knight stuff

pliant lantern
#

if you don't have Disabled, then you will want to create it

#

Custom Knight will generate a folder in this same area

#

it should be called CustomKnight, and again, be in your mods folder

novel bronze
#

okay how to i get disabled

native ice
#

Create a new folder in your Mods folder and name it Disabled

pliant lantern
#

Right click in the area, and pick an option to create a new folder

novel bronze
#

thats it

native ice
#

You should be good, test if your controller is working

novel bronze
#

okay giv me a sec

#

Yeah it does

sick crest
#

How do I use "more saves"

fair briar
#

[and]

sick crest
#

ah

#

I still don't understand

native ice
#

using [ and ] allow you to swap between pages of saves

sick crest
#

ah

#

more sense is made

pliant lantern
#

Page 2 may not show if you don't have a file in Slot 4. I can't remember, tbh

native ice
#

Does creating a separate install of the game make new save files or does it mean that saves are shared between two installs?

real jacinth
#

shared

native ice
#

Ah okay

#

none of the cheats on debuff are working, i cant press them

grand quarry
#

yay

#

i can be pure vessel

unkempt mulch
real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

make your own then

#

solve all the issues that enemy and boss sync present

#

rewrite every AI in the game

#

oh right, and an entire new HeroController too

#

the largest class in the game

#

and have it be scalable with multiple new players

#

seems easy. just rewrite the game elegiggle

unkempt mulch
#

you do realize that it would be easier to just have a local co op with controllers..

real jacinth
#

no it wouldn't

#

how do you handle who the boss attacks?

#

what if there's 4 people playing together?

#

that changes it even more

#

what if there's 20 people

#

the enemy AI has to be completely rewritten to handle multiple hero characters in the game

#

and each person has to have their own hero controller class to handle what they're doing in the game and how they interact with it

#

the reason it's not in multiplayer is because it would mean a complete game rewrite

unkempt mulch
#

are you even a programmer

real jacinth
#

are you?

unkempt mulch
#

yes

real jacinth
#

do you really want the AI to only interact with 1 person's position?

#

while the others could just stand in a corner and never be run at?

unkempt mulch
#

i will just stop talking, you wouldn't undertand

real jacinth
#

lel

pliant lantern
#

Lol
The amount of clearly not knowing what it takes to make ESync exist is amazing

novel bronze
#

why does my game always run at 30fps untill i have it open for like 3 hours straight then it suddently becomes 250? choud it be a mod doing this or smt, my pc is pretty good

real jacinth
#

probably your registry

novel bronze
#

and for some reason it always goes down to 30 exsactly

real jacinth
#

your system memory of the game's flags n stuff

#

either that, or you have some external thing that's conflicting with it

#

like gsync or.... another hardware bottleneck

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

it's literally rewriting the game

#

but in like.... a hacking kind of way

#

since we're not compiling the code directly from a unity/playmaker build

pliant lantern
#

HKMP tracks the first player to enter the room, then has the FSMs all consider that player to the the "target"

real jacinth
#

so it's even worse than just development

#

interesting way to handle it

pliant lantern
#

But yeah, it's... A lot

novel bronze
#

do i just not

real jacinth
#

you can clear your system memory for hollow knight by deleting its registry folder

pliant lantern
novel bronze
#

no

real jacinth
#

that'll reset any local progress you have like... unlocked steel soul

#

or in-game achievements

novel bronze
#

will it reset my saves/achivments?

#

only ingame right?

real jacinth
#

your achievements on steam will stay

#

yeah

#

saves won't be affected

novel bronze
#

but i keep my like, main save right?

#

alright

unkempt mulch
#

if a game dev plans what the game would be like, like having multiplayer, it would be easy so what i mean is that if the game's code is organised enough itt will be easy to add new features without making a whole new game which is why most games make reworks

novel bronze
real jacinth
#

sec

pliant lantern
real jacinth
novel bronze
#

also i did get a new pc recently, does that maybe have something to do with the low fps thing?

real jacinth
#

not likely

I'm trying out HP and the bullets aren't moving, they're just sitting where they were shot. How do I fix this?

pliant lantern

HP doesn't work the first time a save is created

#

it's in the readme

unkempt mulch
real jacinth
#

you do know TC is 2 people right? and they never ever intended the game to be played with multiple people

#

on top of that, they suck at coding

#

so the game's code is a mess

pliant lantern

#

thanks

novel bronze
#

so i just delete the ¨team cherry¨ thing in the regedit and then reopen the game?

# real jacinth on top of that, they suck at coding

actually they are good at coding, and i am a solo dev, i know how long it took to make the game, stop hating on the devs i hate this server because of its toxicty only few discords are good even my discord server's admins are starting to be toxic

#

the other aspects of game dev that they are amazing at are why HK was such a success

#

and why the game is great

native ice
pliant lantern

TC essentially hacked HK together using what they knew/understood at any given point in dev. It's honestly incredibly impressive.
It's terribly coded, but impressively made, imo

yeah that's the right folder
