controller vibration?
yup
idk if that was in the list
it was
oh nice
for some reason I never tried turning that off
i'm good at guessing then
when that should've been the first call
still would like to know if there's anything that lets me open two game instances
a virtual machine kappa I believe some shenanigans can be pulled without that, but don''t recall any of that
i was hoping this wouldn't be the only method lol
is with HKMP for multiplayer
but that's alright
yeah nucleus is the only way
i am having some troubles with modding the game
i do not know what specifically is wrong
@real jacinth
Did you downpatch to 1432
F.F.Fluoride are u on steam
have you guys figured out the new issues with the update and the mod installer
what specifically are u having trouble with
I don't know what specifically is wrong
Mods are in the folder but not loading is one
- pinging someone that did not specifically say they wanted to help you is bad
- give some more description
what are the symptoms
Not loading mods
what did you expect to happen
Loading mods
No
is it asking for a code?
Ok let me get it
leave that empty
ah
just select 1.4 then press X
Whenever i select a custom night skin it does the little white flash around the character but it just stays as the default textures
do you have modcommon
what is that
a mod
thank you Ruttie my friend was struggling getting the mods, thanks for the help :)
the mods are in the folder and not apearing on the screen
@fair briar
i dont know what to do about it
but i can give details ig
I can't find that on the drive, do you know where I can download it
?pins Check the pinned messages for the Benchwarp fix
check the pinned messages
does anyone know where I can download modcommon
The mod installer has it
im not running the mod installer
has the mod installer from nexus stopped working because I've deleted and downloaded it 3 times and it will not open
Any specific reason?
im running a crack
Buy the game
i already did
Only use mods and things from this server
can you link the specific pin because i can't find it (benchwarp fix)
.
thanks
I downloaded it like a year ago its just a mod manager, normally it shows a list of every mod and u need 1.14 to run them but now all i get is the installer loading opening then closing the window immediately after
also I'm fairly certain it is the one everyone either uses or used
Use the mod installer from this discord and you will have fewer problems
If it's a year old I can't help you pal
ok
can anyone help with my problem?
well it was updated in march this year
@limber egret still doesnt work
Screenshot the mod installer you're using
Nobody will know unless you say what it is
thank you
okay so I downloaded the newest mod installer from the pins section in this chat room and it says "the installer requires the most recent stable version to run"
when I try to run it in my desktop

Pale Champion does not work for me. It just goes to the Pale Lurker
Have you downloaded the modding api
oh stupid me
no
so I have to go back to the old version
You need that to make any mods work
it says it is installed but its not
Okay, delete all of your mods
wait
Leave Modding API installed
is the modding api the assembly=csharp.dll
It is, yes
Which folder is it in?
Thank You So Much Mr. TamiJo

All hollow knight modded bosses are artifical difficulty for people who have played the game since 2017
playtested, and music, so i had a hand in it, so when i saw it wasn't working i had to jump in to try and fix
I mean it is insanely well made but extremely hard and not for me.
The music is also great
not for everyone, but at least i'm glad it works
Yeah

Does anyone know what mod is using this language?
Edit: fixed…
I can’t seem to get the game to recognize my controller (ps5 controller)… is there a fix for this?
It’s odd because on a new hollow knight download it let me select the language with it and then nothing
I’ll mention that it’s modded ofc haha
That's art mods
Ok thank you. Its just a bit annoying
I got it fixed! It had the experimental controller option toggled for some reason
where can I download modcommon separate from the modinstaller

how do you move a file? click and drag it. or copy/paste it

how do you paste it on appdata local
why are you pasting it there

help i tried to do room rando but the mod wasnt working
In what way not working
well i tried an item rando once and it worked but now when i load into the game it says it doesnt work and i have to check modlog.txt
Would anyone know why my controller is constantly moving and pressing buttons even though I'm not pressing anything?
i think you should reconnect the controller
Ive unplugged it, plugged it back in and restarted the game several times
still nothing
Not really. Im just using my switch pro controller
did you unplug the wire end that goes into the controller or the end connected to the pc?
Im pretty ive just been unplugging it from the computer
i see
i dont know if it will help
but have you set the normal controller for the game to a switch pro?
I dont think so? I can try that to see if it'll work
Sounds like you're missing a dependency mod. Make sure you have Vasi, mod common, SF core, and serecore
sorry im new to modding so i dont know what that means
Well theirs currently a blue dot next to the controller name
How do I do wireless
I just listed four mods make sure they're installed
ok
settings controllers and sync the controller
Hi, does the mod installer work for the newest version? (v1.5.75.11827). I tried using it but it keeps telling me to use the more stable version. I'm not sure what that means
Nope. Try using the previous version and see if that works. It should
Thanks, I'll try that

im hosting the server and my friend is joining, but when we both connect we cant see eachother or intereact
sorry im jjust confused because my brain is the size of a pea
but are you port forwarding
E
i dont think so?
then you need hamachi
forwarding your ports
hamachi will essentially do that for you
that was salty, sorry
i set myself up to do that so it's fine 
alright ill use hamachi, thanks
port forwarding in a nutshell lets your router communicate with other devices without being directly connected, hamachi will install a network driver that makes it look like it's connected so other ppl can join in

ok
does anyone know if steel soul mode works on version that aren't the live version of hollow knight? i reverted to 1.4.3.2 because i installed mods and it won't let me start a steel soul save (i went into my old save and beat hollow knight again too)
also another question, does anyone know if there are known issues with steam controller and the current version of HK? my steam controller works fine on 1.4.3.2 but when im on the current version neither dash nor crystal dash works (right and left triggers respectively)
(sorry if these questions should go somewhere else, the problems only started after i installed mods and reverted to 1.4.3.2)
TIA!
You should definitely be able to play steel soul on 1432. You may have a mod preventing you from doing so
I have seen people say that On current patch they have picked up dash, have cloak in their inventory, and it simply won't work. I think they fixed it simply by restarting, but this was back when the patch first came out and I've not heard of it since
hey always get an .net framework error when trying to open the mod manager
this didn't happen before
Thank you very much, I thought I had read them thoroughly, but I guess I didn't.
Sooo this appear when I try to launch my game but it never really launch itself, it close instatly just after that image appear, and that happened just after I reinstalled the modinstaller cause it wasn't working (maybe because of the update) and getting rid of the new version of the modinstaller still don't resolve the problem, I can't play my game (sorry for bad english, I'm french)
is there a new installation to mod hollow knight?

It won't help me, if I install the modinstaler again I'll be able to open it, but I still won't be able to open my game
I don't have the modinstaller installed now, I got rid of it but my game's still not able to open
yea, that's what the 2nd pinned message outlines
the newest hk version can't be modded at the moment with modinstaller, so you need to downpatch to the 1.4.3.2 patch for it to function
no, a how-to is pinned
no
im tying to get the mods to work, but everytime I load up modinstaller, it tells me I need to update the game, but its at the most recent update, I tried uninstalling the game and redownloading it but no luck
2nd pinned message
well I'm not going to play with mod until I can do it with the lastest version, I'm just going to play vanilla
I'll just reinstall my game, thank you for the help ^^
thank you
My game works again, thank you for the help, I'll wait for the modinstaler to work
i installed the custom knight mod and some skins but my game still loads as vanilla
does someone know why ?
nvm

It's just called mod installer, the one with the zote head icon. Check your downloads
its not in my programs hm
is it not conisdered a program
@native ice do you know the defult download path?
For Hollow Knight?
the hollow knight modding thing
Do you mean where you're supposed to tell the modinstaller your game install is?
nah just where does it install the modinstaller
Usually to your downloads folder...
Nice lol. But also wrong channel #modding-discussion would be a better place for it, or #randomizer
Hah, all good
This one is better than the one on the installer. More information on the github: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP

Where did you purchase the game
I'm on Mac on steam and getting the OS error
On the second pinned message, there's a steam post by team cherry with a fix for that
thank you
I have tried using the terminal command, no luck. I have tried the alternate method of downloading and the forst link doesn't work
maybe I'm missing something in the terminal?
idk
You downpatched using the steam betas, and then follow these instructions?
yeah I just copies and pasted it into terminal on sec though
@pliant lantern
I'm pinging myself so that I can see this when I get on my computer later, and update the pin

Hey! im trying to use debug as i corrupted my save and want to progress to where i left of quickly and also for fun, but when i click on hide menu, kill all, cheats, or charms, no sub menu appears
Do you have ModCommon or MoreSaves?
both
Remove MoreSaves, it breaks Debug
will do, i wasnt using anyways and i can just store the save files manually elsewhere on my pc if i want to
Yep
thank you tons!
A bit confused but sure. I assume you mean there's a different fix or somethin?
Hey so I’m currently working on down patching my game, on steam I was able to find the beta however it is asking for an access code and I cannot find one in my google search
Just set it to 1.4.3.2, close the menu, and wait for it to download
Well luck be a lady it’s working, thank you very much y’all!
the modinstaller cant find my game files and i dont know how to fix it
Oh no, I just meant that I keep forgetting to update my pin since
added more info on how to make stuff work for Mac. It's easier to find something I was pinged in, because the Inbox shows them
Ohh, I see. Just wasn't sure exactly what it had to do with that message.
First, make sure your modinstaller is on your desktop and that when you do run it you run it as administrator. Second, reset your modinstaller using the message linked below. Third, make sure when the installer asks you that you give it the correct file path, it should stop in the Hollow Knight folder with the hollow_knight application in it. The path should be something like (For windows and Steam) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Common\Hollow Knight\

nevermind ill just look it up
thanks for the help
That's also covered in the message
With a picture too
Hi all! Does anyone know why dnSpy sometimes makes the HK exe crash when initializing? I made some changes to CameraTarget and the game doesn't open anymore. I reviewed the code and didn't spot any issues... fine. I have backup of the previous version (with which the game opened just fine). I copy-paste the code of the previous version, save it, when I open the game... it crashes again.
You'd probably want to ask in #archived-modding-development
I was quoting your message, since it was one of the suggestions.
it made sense to me 
Ye I got it now, was just a bit confused for a bit lol
How do I fix them
Is that from trying to change custom knight skins?
Uh, just try restarting and changing skins in small rooms like stag stations
Ok thanks
Is there anyway in the modding API where you can stop the Knight from healing using SOUL?
does anyone have a custom knight skin i can use
Fyremoth
what does it look like
There's Nekomata.
Uhh, well the modding API doesn't really do that much on it's own. Hollow Point uses a different method of healing so it's possible if you wanted to make a mod or somethin. If your goal is to just make soul not heal you then you can probably just set your focus amount to 100 or somethin
There's two full google drives of skins in the pinned messages
It's more that for some reason on a save of mine, I'm unable to focus SOUL to heal.
Have you ever had hollowpoint installed and opened on that save?
Once.
Then that's the problem, check the pins for the message on fixing soul after using hollow point
i'll check again after uninstalling all the mods, thanks!
neither of my dashes work, but it also is not fixed when i restart the game, i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but 😦
OK so slight issue.
It works on 1.4.3.2 but doesn't on 1.5?
Is that for the soul fix?
yep, nothing seems to be broken on 1.4.3.2 for me (except that i couldn't start a file in steel soul, but i'll try that again after i uninstall mods)
Yeah.
There's several other options to fix it in that message, try one of those
Then probably just stick with 1.4.3.2, since 1.5 isn't really necessary anyways
Press [ and ]

can someone plz link a video to help me mod hollow knight on Steam
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Modding on Hollow Knight is pretty easy and straight forward. In this video I will go over the basics of modding and how to play with several different mods.
This is only the beginning to modding. If you have questions on how to install mods outside of the mod installer, that is beyond the scope of this video.
Thank you to all the help answeri...
No, but it's very easy.
- Make sure that you're on the correct patch (see the second pinned message)

- Download the Mod Installer, and move it to your Desktop.
- Run the Mod Installer.
Enable Mods that interest you (see the "Collection of ReadMes" doc in pins for descriptions of them).
If you have specific Qs, ask them here; if you get an error, screenshot and post it here, but also check the pins probably first (and/or the FAQ section of the ReadMe doc), as most common errors are listed there.

Have you got spell slots?
Spells require spell slots to be charged
The whole first half of the message is nothing to do with Mac

steam
See, nothing about slots for spells is stated in the readme
How do you get spell slots?
The readme describes it. I literally have it open right now

I tried stuff from the second pinned message but it still does the same thing

Otherwise, also do the "if mods still aren't working"part
I just tried the if mods still arent working part but it just crashed again
Does hollowknight say that it's version 1432 in it's steam name?
yes
maybe it has to do with the mods I have on but Im new to this so I might be wrong
So first off let's delete all your mods etc.
Right click hollow knight in Steam and click Verify integrity of game files.
I have Randomizer 3 and Bench warp on if that helps
why when I try to download the mod installer it says it's in a disabled version
If you're not in English I might assume this is a mistranslation. Check the second pinned message.
A bit, but we'll just start from verifying the game files first. This will clear up any other existing issues
you are right
ok done
Open hollow knight. It should just be the normal version, and in the bottom left it should say 1.4.3.2.
Good start.
Open your mod installer and then please send me a screenshot of it
(like send it here you don't need to DM it to me)
Okay now open your hollow knight again. It should have something written in the top left corner
Trying multiplayer server mod and I see my friend but when he moves doesn't move in my world/screen, and vice verse/same for him
ok done
What's in the top left corner?
it says: Modding API: 1.4.3.2-60
Good stuff!
Close it up again, and in mod installer install some mods. If you want Randomiser 3, click to install that. It should download a few others as well.
Once it's finished, open your game again and let's check it's worked.
this showed up
my mod can't find the hollow knight, and there's nothing in the appdata. some one can help me ?
This might purelt be a RAM or CPU issue at this point. Open your mod installer, uninstall your mods again, then just download mod common and see if the issue persists.
Where did you get Hollow Knight, Steam or Good old Games?
Steam an my hk is 1.4.3,2
hey guys so i was wondering , if i wanted to use mods, i needed to install an older version on hk, but will this mean ill have to delete all my saves?
No your saves will be fine don't worry
I've done this
Right click your install in Steam, properties, then local files. This will tell you where your install is, and this is where you are wanting to point the installer
Navigate to your \Mods folder (by default it's \Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods) and post a screenshot of what is in it please
is there any new modinstaller cause my modinstaller won't open
First pin 
Hey, how am I gonna
if you remove the message 
I've done this to
Screenshot the folder you're selecting in the folder selection screen for mod installer
@pliant lantern
need to go
So do as I said above. Uninstall all your mods using the mod installer, then just install Mod Common, open your game and see if that works
wait u sure?
its loaded and it says modcommon in the corner
kuz it says this in the pinned message
Saves for 1.4 and 1.5 are interchangeable
installer
oh
The other mods you were using also require ModCommon, which you didn't have enabled it looks like. Since we know ModCommon works, you can try enabling the other mods too.
If it crashes again:
Follow these instructions to get to your save folder, and then delete GlobalSettings files for benchwarp and moddingapi (there should be 4 total).
Also, find your modlog.txt file, and drag+drop it here.
Shortcut to save folder on Windows:
- Press
⊞ Win+R - Copy and paste this into it
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knightand hit "OK".
This folder contains your Save files (user#.dat), GlobalSettings files for mods, and ModLog.txt, among other things.
Trying multiplayer server mod and I see my friend but when he moves doesn't move in my world/screen, and vice verse/same for him?
I dont see a global settings file
Benchwarp.globalsettings.json
and .json.bak

I see global settings files but not a benchwarp one
Check out this pin:
#archived-modding-help message
Usually the issue is because the Multiplayer mod on Mod Installer stops working if either player has a hiccup in internet connection (such as being on Wifi).
You may want to change to using HKMP (https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP) which is far more stable, and is actively being updated.
If you definitely don't have that one, it's fine. just remove the ModdingAPI one for now.
do I delete the modcommon one too?
do I delete the .json.bak one too

ok what now
Try launching HK again
still crashes
modlog?
Where does it crash at
So then post your ModLog.txt here
playerlog?
Like at the loading bar?
ohno output log
Does it crash at the loading bar
when the loading bar finishes it crashes
You're not using controller are you
I have one connected
Disconnect it and launch the game again
You can plug it back in
tysm
Just needs to be disconnected during load
I haven't actually seen someone have that issue in awhile, and tbh, completely forgot it happened 
I do it all the time too. If someone hasn't had an issue for a while I forget it exists until like Mick comes in and says 3rd pin or something lol
That's interesting though, because that means the controller issue only happens with one of the rando mods
I'm guessing that SereCore or Vasi look for something related to controllers?
ok thanks guys imma play some randomizer now
It's the API itself iirc
2nd pin
Connection go brrrrr. Ignore that
Except that the person could launch the game with just API, and with ModCommon- and in both cases, no crash
so what mod do you use when a mod fails to load?
Depends
thank you I didnt have serecore
even if this is in portuguese can someone try help me, trying to open mod installer but its says "the process can't acess the file D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steampps\Common\Hollow Knight\Modding API.zip because its being used by another process/program"
Is your game closed?
Either click continue and see if it works anyway, or just restart.
Sometimes things hang because Windows.
well
I did alot of thing I tried verifying the local files also tried to open already near 4 times with exit and continue, with continue it opens a box with only a button with Manually I press it, it tells me to choose the modding api location I show it, it still doesn't open
would restart the computer be a possible solution?
Yeah, I think restarting the computer is your best bet at this point, then do whatever it is you're doing first.
So I downloaded the mod installer, and opened it, confirmed the correct hollow knight path, and was given this, I reinstalled my hollow knight and looked around for if I was missing something, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks (sorry im dumb)
I don't you can do much since you said that was everything, but its stil not working
ah thanks
Try following the steps in the first pinned message, as well as running the installer as administrator. If that doesn't work then you can try manually installing mods
Well I'm following but I will have someone question first:
1.) What is AU.exe files?
2.) What browser file cache?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
- a auto-updater that has broken, cus its not supposed to appear
- https://www.google.com/
oh never though about that browser.. ok
if you don't see any AU.exe, you don't have to delete it
Okay, I have a question. Is there a list of mutually exclusive mods that, when loaded at the same time, makes Hollow Knight unresponsive? Also, is there a maximum number of mods that the api can handle at a time?
heyo, so im having trouble installing the mod installer, as it says i need to have hollow knight updated to the most recent stable version to run, but i just downloaded it off steam, so im not sure what i can do

That's probably based off your computer
just saw that, thats on me sorry
And afaik there is no maximum to mods but many of em might have weird effects when paired
Okay, I'm all for the weird effects, but I wanted to know hat I was doing wrong, thanks.
do i need to downgrade my hollowknight app to play mods?
ok thxxs
skins r now broken
Try restarting the game
okie dokie
are mods for 1.5 out yet?
Nope, you have to downpatch
ok
where can I find every mod dll? so I can download them manually

Make sure you download the API first, and make sure to get dependencies for mods.
Yes the modding api
Btw to manually install mods they come in zip do I need to extract them to a file or do I manually install it as zip?
You need to extract them
thx
why not use modinstaller
This. I don't think there's a legit fix so I just recommend people follow the first pin, restart their pc, and then if that doesn't work manually install mods and hope the installer starts working again by itself.
I just reinstalled a normal 1221 install and a debug install
And in the normal one, I can’t unpause with the pause button
But it works fine on the install with debug mod
Any ideas?
what is that bruh

hmmm
What's QoL in the ModInstaller, I have it installed yet I have no clue what it is
not sure but might be a library for making mods and stuff
I see
It's Quality of Life, it makes several changes like making text go faster and cutscenes skip quicker. It's also a dependency for randomizer 3. Also, there's a collection of readmes in the pins and the installer has a "readme" button
What software is good for hk sprite edits like making my own Knight
photoshop or paint.net or smth else
anything that supports the alpha channel, so pretty much anything aside of ms paint
Kewl
why does QoL say failed to load
Because you probably don't have Vasi installed
Oh, thanks for the info
customknight is broken, and i didnt see anything in the pins
so maybe someone can help me out here
you need modcommon
So i downloaded the installer but it keeps telling me to update to the latest stable version, but I either can't figure out how to do that or the game's already been updated?
uh oh
so I was using bench mod
and then I was at radiance
and I placed down a bench
and then warped to it
and now hk wont load
There's some scenes you simply can't load into
shoot
That is one of them
You will need to edit your save file to put you into a different spawn point
how do I do that
I believe @vernal rain has a file that does this.
that also works

thanks!
i got the custom knight mod and some skins with it, following the attached tutorial and it doesnt work. the menu dissapears and no changes to the knight are made
Make sure you have ModCommon, also check that the skins you put in are properly structured
that might be the issue
nope, i have modcommon and im pretty sure the skins are properly structuted
Properly structured as in, Mods\Custom Knight\Skin\Skin pngs\? Also make sure that the skin folders aren't zipped
yes
Send a screenshot of the folder of the images
With the address bar viewable in the screenshot
hello
And modcommon is enabled and showing up in the top left of the main menu?
yup
Do you have the MoreSaves mod?
no
Hmm, and when you select the Skin name in the pause menu it doesn't change skins?
yeah, but it does blink white
Well, I've got no clue it all seems right. Probably forgetting to check somethin tho
what
the skins now work
i have literally not done anything
Maybe you clicked default on accident
nah
When i install the modinstaller it says that "You need a stable patch" how can i fix that?
it does the to me too
I deleted the Modinstaller file and tried reinstalling it but it does not work
You need to be on the modifiable version check the second pin
Yea
thx
can't find the mod installer

oh ok
Custom knight mod isn’t working
Until like yesterday it worked
But now it just won’t
The mod option in the menu still shows up but
I can’t change knights appearance
Do you have modcommon installed and enabled?
Modcommon?
A mod
Yeah its installed and enabled
And has anything changed since yesterday? Did you install a new skin? Or a new mod?
Nope
- Are you using HollowPoint or Lightbringer?
- Have you tried to change skins in a small room?
I’m using neither and i’m trying to change skins in godhome, why?
Sometimes skins don't change correctly if you change them with a lot of other stuff going on. Changing skins in a small room (like a stag station) pretty much always works though if that's the issue.
Nope
Not the issue
Just tested
Like
The skins won’t show up on the pause menu
It’s enabled on the options menu and the modinstaller
Can you screenshot your pause menu?
Ah. You need to do the Benchwarp fix
The what
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)

You need to close HK, go to your Saves folder, and delete to the two Benchwarp Global Settings files
I don’t have the two benchwarp global settings files you’re talking about
Delete the customknight ones
it's on the installer

oh nvm
ok good news I beat radiance!! wooo!!!
but
it still doesn't work
so ima try this
also I can't respond cuz im in a stressful situation
ty for this
You need to move that to your Desktop. It doesn't work right in Downloads
Well they're following the first pin so I assume they'll see the last step is to move it to desktop
ok everything is working now
it doesnt work with mac ☠️
my mods arnt working
What doesn't?
this
whats the difference between rando 2 and rando 3
Try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pinned message
scroll up and you'll find the issue
ok
Rando 2 doesn't have the option to randomize room transitions
Hollow Point
ah ok
I still have no Idea how to fix the benchwarp mod
So, you set a bench in the radiance arena, game crashed. you uninstlled benchwarp and it worked. So just rest at a new bench and reinstall benchwarp?
