I’m trying to run mod installer, but it says it couldn’t locate the Hk installation folder, I downloaded the game from steam did I do something wrong?
I'm making a boss called hollow vessel
do this and point the installer to the "Hollow Knight" Folder
I’ll try that, thanks
how do you edit a save file to have vessel frags collected? i thought it would be these but to no avail
Move the installer onto your desktop and run it as administrator whenever you open it. Then reset the modinstaller using the instructions linked below. Then make sure you path it to the correct spot, which you can find with the link mul provided. #archived-modding-help message
That looks right, did you download the save file and put it back in your game?
i was just editing the save file directly, so yeah
ah, you made sure to save then?
do these need to be set to 99?
uh possibly
When i finish the mod I'll let other people download it. i hope you enjoy it after i release it
worked
I see that it says I need unity to make the mod, how do I get unity
Non of the mods i installed are working

They don't show up in the top left corner of the main menu?
You dan’t necessarily need unity. Depends on the mod. Also, you might want to move this to #modding-discussion
nope or in the mod list i tried the google doc fix but that didnt work either
Where does it say newest? Read the damn message.
Did you try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pin?
yes i did
Then try benchwarp fix, from this message #archived-modding-help message
i tried that aswell
You went to your save files and deleted the benchwarp.globalsettings files?
Yes
Try deleting all the global settings files
that worked thank you
whats the mod that adds discord rich presnece
HollowKnightDRPC
https://github.com/KaanGaming/HollowKnightDRPC/blob/main/README.md
It has some extra setup steps, FYI
Kaan fixed it didn't they?
Make it into to embedded resource and load it into game automatically

So, The newset MW actually uses an older version of Map Mod
the MW release from march, or a different one?
This version of RMM works with Shadu's MultiWorld
ah, I forgot about shadu's, was still using callum's
The newer version of RMM (that's now on Mod Installer) works with the older version of MulwitWorld
how
If you're using Callum's, then you should be able to use the one on Mod Installer
(The MW / RMM situation seems confusing, but it's because RMM updated to check for MW, but Shadu's MW actually runs in a way that doesn't change the stuff that Callums did, so the RMM change that was supposed to fix RMM+MW, actually broke it for the new MW lol)
i'm a bit behind the times, anywhere I can look up the differences between shadu's / callum's?
github is the place to be: https://github.com/Shadudev/HollowKnight.MultiWorld/
idk where callum's one is
Shadu's works with modern Rando
And when integrated, will always work with Rando, instead of needing to be independently updated
It also just got an Eject button, for players to use if they have to leave 
what dwarf means, get shadu's one
got it, thanks!
Hey
long story short me and my friend are trying to play HK on multiplayer
we downloaded hamachi, mod loader, the mods and all necessary stuff, but it seems its not working :<
you get yeeted out of the world with rockets under your chair ? 
is a different mod, link on the top
I followed the instructions here to enable hollow knight discord rich presence https://kaangaming.github.io/HollowKnightDRPC/guide/Guide.html but it still doesnt work when I open the game. I have a few mods on could that be affecting it?
Amusingly, Eject doesn't actually quit the game at all. It just sends everyone the items in your world
Is there any website that could help me with making modded bosses for hollow knight
and you get your items from everyone else's world?
this animation neeeds to play. if nothing else atleast the Mr.Mushroom ending needs to play when ejecting
it's the logical next step
me why multipalery no workei?
The modinstaller says that it can't find where my files are located and to make sure that my game is actually installed, I play on GOG and have used mods before with the same installer so that is probably not the problem
sounds like user error
Are you on the correct version?
yes, I made GOG check that I was all caught up with the versions
that's not the correct version
it isn't?
I see

ok
Look for the multiplayer procedures pin 
Alternatively, use HKMP, as it's more inuitive: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
My message above applies to you too
I've read the second pin but I don't find any setting that allows me to download a previous version, do I have to uninstall it to select it or?
configure, show folder, verify/repair or uninstall. are the options
ah ok
nevermind
found it
I had it in autoinstall latest version
thank you
what does the unity 2020.2.2 crash mean? and how can I fix it?
thanks, what patch works?
1.4.3.2
That pin explains everything
i saw on a skurry stream that they played a newer version of item randomizer where you can randomise swim and charms and a few other things, i was wondering how i can get this newer version, because i am still on the older update
#randomizer pins
or wait for it to be put on the installer once it's finished being updated/released

Wdym doesn't open
I think so yes. It's not recommended to have rando installed and open a normal save anyways
can anyone with experience with the charm overhaul mod tell me why the fury of the fallen overcharm combo isnt working?
I need help me and my friend have been trying to set up a online server for an hour now and it won't work. Does online and what not require VPN
cause we have the same port and IP typed in and we've been connecting disconnecting and reconnecting at dirtmouth bench
i got a weird bug that infinitely loads my files and just doesn't let me play whatsoever, i tried reverting but it says i have one missing file on game verification. Another note, the mods were all working the night before and today as I opened them up, this occurred, pls help
yeah
im trying to play multiplayer with a friend but we can't see eachother moving when we connect
me and my friend can't even see eachother when we do it so it sounds like were experiencing a similar problem
also how were ya'll able to see eachother heh
unless it requires VPN me and my friend "think" we did it right
i just did a mod reset, removing all mod assets that i downloaded and then revalidated my game files
I keep getting "Invalid path selected" even thought I'm choosing the correct folder, is there any fix for this?
it worked after a while, validating the files, i'm still yet to redownload the manager and test out the mods
The game I think it's easy to get back, just delete all the Mods. Problems is I want to play with mods 🤔
Mine doest even recognize the Mods on main menu
hmm
same
also i just tried running it again and i'm getting the same bug
so either my game is corrupted or idek
best solution i can think of is just reinstalling and trying it out again
i might do that
didnt work for meh
i think i know what the issue is
the randomizer installation from the manager causes a game crash, because last night i was able to play it but i had manually installed it rather than using the manager
i'm going to test that theory out
Hey did the mods get updated to 1.5.75 yet?
nope
will my save get corrupted by reverting to the version for mods? (I'm on the newest version)
nope
oh, that's really nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P95_Y62UCII&t=192s&ab_channel=Relyea this is where i got the files to manually download the mod
Did a randomizer mod run on the live stream and I ran into some issues when installing this mod so I figured I could share how to do this.
https://youtu.be/g9I3HwcI_us
This video will show you how to install the Randomizer mod in Hollow knight. That includes both random rooms and random items.
Note that once you download and install the Rando...
or mods
Sad
Did it work?
But not today right?
Everytime I check integrity, it re-download 1 file. Then if I open the mod manager, it bugs out. Opening the manager is the problem apparently
I'll try not opening the manager, see if the game runs vanilla
Does anybody know where the challenge of this skin is?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rdu37EiRJ4&t=41s
A new skin made by Lazycat (TWP), but as it's a private skin there won't be links about how to download it here. Lazycat really likes this skin and had add a story to it. This vedio was made by Lazycat, and reprinted by authorization. You can find it here. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1AV411d7Bd
According to the will of the original author,...
Yeah it runs fine after checking integrity, but no mods
i tried installing manually and i'm still getting the same bug
idk how to fix at this point
all my theories are incorrect
What's the problem?
this
There's a fix in the pins
Yes, you need a vpn, there's a procedure in the pins.
Ok then thx
nice, got that fixed but now the mods i have installed aren't showing up in game, it's kinda just like i'm playing the game as vanilla
You didn't even read the problem did you 🤔...
Isn't there a patch in pins?
do you think resetting my manager again might allow my mods to show up?
Oh your mods aren't showing up in game as well?
yeah
Then you probably need to do the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pin
Oh wait, thought you meant in the top left. If there's a mods page but it's empty do the benchwarp fix from the infinite loading message
Actually. Just delete every globalsettings file in your save file
I downloaded mantis god mod,where can i fight whit them?
Hall of gods
It replaces the regular fight
did that, do i relaunch the manager from this point now?
Launch the game
And check the top left corner
Arts mod
ah okay
Also you may want to uninstall modconsole, and one of your mods is missing a dependency but I'm not sure which
oh lmao. You may need to adjust your resolution if you want to be able to use that menu properly
np
Do modded bosses work in the god seeker mode?
I think some of them don't
Ok ty
hey, I was going through a randomizer and I was at nosk, but It was just a big red sentry. It also softlocked me. Is there a way to not randomize bosses? (but still have normal enemies turn into bosses
That might be a thing in the ingame settings, but with enemy randomizer you can disable it, fight nosk, and then reenable it
I downloaded impossible any% but when I start a save file I get stuck looking at the geo in the hidden room on the left
What mods do you have?
nothing, just decoration master and I put the files in the decorationmasterdata
I'm returning hollow knight to vanilla and am then going to try again
when I move the files to decorationmasterdata, it asks if I want to replace global.json. I did last time
I still get stuck when I don't
this is what I see
I think that's usually when you're missing vasi but i'm not sure
ok, it works now, thanks
hey y'all, I'm having a weird issue on the modded version of 1.4.3.2 where it just doesn't seem to recognize my controller sometimes... it's an Xbox One controller and I tried both wired and wireless (it only recognizes it when plugged in)
I tried with and without Steam Big Picture, tried it with and without native input enabled... I can't get it working wirelessly which really sucks..
Are you on mac?
any word on when the mod installer will be updated to work with 1.5?
nope, Windows
and if it helps, latest patch is the currently selected one on Steam
Uh
You need it to be 1432 for mods.
If you're using Steam to fix inputs, then you have to launch that install with Steam
Also, IIRC some people have had wireless issues if there's other controllers plugged in? Idk if you use multiple controllers, but I definitely know that that was one person's problem once.
hmmm, were there any important updates or bug fixes in 1.5?
Not really. You can find the patchnotes for it if you wanna see more specifics, it also introduced some more bugs as well as fixing em
kk, ty
Is there mods that adds the white palace map?
Yes, additional maps i think it’s called
Is it in the installer?
Yes
Ok thank you so much
FYI, the WP Map is in the "workshop" room, near the end of WP
oh yea, forgot where exactly it was
can you mod cracked hollow knight?
No
ok thanks
can confirm, source: made the mod
SFG, Have you considered for the 1.5 release, moving the Map to significantly earlier in WP, so that it's more useful 
Or, at least not putting it in a secret area lol

Wheres the fun in that
Can i cheat the hunters journal with debug mod? i need to kill alot bugs that i even dont discovered
I don't think that's an option of the mod. If you haven't encountered them you should probably keep playing the game or just look them up. If you really want to cheat you may be able to with save editing
ohgod no editing saves for that unless you want pain
Haha, I thought it might be annoying, is it that bad?
pain
any help?

hey so with the Custom Knight mod i'm selecting the skins in my menu but it's just not putting them on
my character is blinking but it's just sticking with the default skin
do you have modcommon
i do not know what that is
it's a mod
yeah
then your skin file structures are not right
should be Managed/mods/customknight/[skin folder name]/[skin pngs]
no extra folders anywhere
does hamachi work
for this
yes
it's not working
^
which mod do you have

did you connect to yourself?
is there a green thing next to the server name in hamachi?
yeah
did you let your friend connect to you via hamachi
yeah
did it say connection success
when you connected to the server and when your friend connected
do you have the right IP and port?
although you can't see your port in hamachi, try to use 26950
are you connected to them via hamachi
yeah
ok go to cmd (terminal) and type ping ip ip being the ip of your friend
anyone know how i can fix this? i just bought the game 10 minutes ago xd

Two quick questions: 1) is there a version of mapmod that works with shadu's MW but doesn't have that annoying bug where markers get stuck on your screen after benching unless you open your map to clear them, and 2) if not, is there a better way to work around that bug somehow
This is the RandoMapMod that works with Shadu's MW.
The "pin on screen bug" happens with all versions of RMM. You can fix it by opening and closing your map really quick after benching tho
NOTE: This version of RMM is outdated, and doesn't have a lot of the "newer" settings factored in. So you may need to check HelperLog sometimes if you're still learning check locations.
Hello! I am trying to run 1.4.3.2 so I can use mods, but I press play and this pops up. I did some searching and found a fix where you change the compatibility to open in 640x480 that has worked for everyone else, but I'm still running into it, and my research hasn't brought me anywhere else. I guess this isn't really asking for mod help since I am trying to run a past version of HK in vanilla, but this seemed like the most fitting channel.
can you send the crashlog?
and 1.5 works?
so I can use mods
Did you attempt to use Mod Installer while you had 1.5 open?
verify integrity in steam
C:\Users\Nicole\Desktop\New folder\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.exe
What is this path?
Were you trying to make a separate install completely?
go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity
huh I'm actually not sure if I run into the same issue with 1.5, I just went straight to this version since modding is my intent. I have verified integrity multiple times.
Thanks, that's exactly the version I was using and I was mostly happy with it, my only gripe was the pin on screen bug so I figured I'd ask if there was a better solution than opening the map to clear it. No worries that there isn't though, it was a minor gripe
...that path is weird
Are you actually using the Steam version? Or did you do something?
Because that path isn't a normal path, which means that something is off, and there's a good chance that that is why it's breaking
if it's a pirated/cracked version, it's not gonna work
I am using the steam version, but let me try to fix the path
if you actually are using steam, then you can't just copy + paste folders around. That will also break stuff.
Unless you're intending on having multiple installs for some reason, then you should just revert to 1432 using the Steam Beta 1432 branch.
If you told steam to install things to that folder, then that might be an issue, and you may need to fix that, because having full installs in a Desktop folder is, uh, not great lol
idk what happened or how it got to my desktop but yeah not good
ive a small question - when using customknight, some skins I find have not just a folder full of images, but also other assets and folders, such as NEKOMATA - how do I install these other assets? or do i only need the folder of pngs
Me and my friend are trying to do hollow knight multiplayer mod but we don't understand how we've watched some videos but still cant figure it out... Any help is appreciated :)
,,,,my entire stream library is on my desktop I am so confused rn
the multiplayer mod wont work for me and my friend
we are putting in the same codes and things
The only thing I can think of is my brother or sister did something weird at some point good golly

Ok
I'm looking for a bloodborne skin because I feel like it should exist but I guess it doesn't
there's a bloody knight skin but it's not bloodborne
there should be a bloodborne skin, that would be cool
Where do I commission skins 
when you finished one, ping mickely
ok so I tried fixing the install path, we got D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight now (???) but 1.4.3.2 still encountered the same issue. I then ran it in 1.5 to see if it would be encountered there and 1.5 works fine so it's something to do with this beta specifically
I may be an idiot, but I can't seem to get debug mod to run. I had it running before, but it suddenly stopped working. Tried a fresh install after clearing the installer memory
Still no dice
Hello, I installed the mod "AdditionalMaps" because I wanted a map for the white palace but it doesn't work, when I'm in the white palace there is no map.
like you cant get it to show up in game? or does it not even show in the title screen
do you have sfcore ( i think sfg made it so it may require sfcore)
Does the mod show up on the main menu?
Yes, I have sfcore
It shows up on the title screen, but doesn't load in game.
No, it doesn't show in the main menu
and i assume you know the keybind for debug
Yee
has it worked before
Yep
Just sudden;y stopped working. I did a clean install of both HK and mod installer after refreshing memory
I'm gonna try again
can you pass your modlog.txt
Sure gif a sec
wait
Hold on, I don't think its loading shit right
Lemme poke it rq
youre on 1432?
And a quick reminder, which cores need to bne loaded again?
I'm mildly curious if its failing to install properly. I'll generate the logs from a fresh install
can i use mods with the version 1.4.2.4?
no
Why would you want to? Speedrunning?

thievery

how i can use mods?
by purchasing the game
@small harness not with a pirated version
i have it from steam
Then why do you have 1.4.2.4?
Could you, by any chance, send a screenshot?
I meant of steam
ok wait
Probably. Why does this take so long?
Sending the in game screenshot took like no time at all
still nothing with the fresh install
i have a pirate version
Then don’t lie
my brother installed
We all already knew
Yeah. Right. Sure.
why
We are reaching levels of doubt beyond comprehension

because stealing is bad
Because pirating is illegal
Where is the log located again, I'm a fool

for mods, yes
can i use mods on other versions?
sweet thanks
like what
idk current
in general no
I can share a crash report again now that I fixed the path (I think) if that would help
because you're not on 1432
you're probably on 1.5
what? but i was ok ill try again
did you wait for the steam download to finish? or did you try launching the game right away
and does your game say [1.4.3.2] next to it in your steam library
if you didn't wait long enough for steam to finish downloading the patch, then I could see it crashing
I did wait for it to finish the entire thing, and it does say it in the library menu next to the name
Open your game and see if it says 1432 in the bottom left
If it didn't, that's your problem
I can't open it
Right click it, and click Verify integrity of game files
That might be under properties
In Steam
What exactly is happening when it "doesn't open"?
I'm sorry for bothering, but when I try to install Vasi, it says that "The process cannot access the file \tmp\HPmodinstaller/LICENSE because it is being used by another process
Can you screenshot the error
@broken elbow
Oh
Oh, thank you!
So wait
You said you verified the integrity of files
And right after that, you try to open it, and it's still not working?
yes
Try uninstalling then reinstalling
That's the only one i got
Already done that... 3 times I think now?
it's alright, it's had me stumped for 6 hours so if you figured it out in 5 minutes I'd be bowing in awe
could always try the "nuclear" option
what's that?
deleting your system memory for hk
alright goodbye 3 minutes of play time 💣
Discord released threads. Damn. I hope this channel gets acces to them too. It would benefit this channel a lot
My mods randomly stopped workin and I changed nothing
juts installed the randomapmod
and it juts stopped working
Just @ admins and beg
What does stop working mean exactly?
when I launch hollow knight they just dont load
im rechecking my install path to see i that got changed somehow
even tho i didnt change it
my game is on the last version, anyone knows whats wrong?
so i had my mods working then my modding api uninstalled itself
Does anything show up in the top left corner of your main menu?
nope
Also are you on patch 1432 or 1.5.75.something?

The thing that's currently happening is that i cannot extract the file, as it just says Vasi, not Vasi.exe
What do you mean?
What patch is your game on?
1432
I relaunched the game and my mods didnt load so I looked in my game files folder and the modding api that was there was dissapearing when I launched the game
i need help- everytime i try and load hollowknight it crashes with the mod launcher. Anyone know what to do?
My issue has been solved
what the hell is happening
did modinstaller juts break for everyone
this is genuinely pissing me off
ik
screenshot your installer
kk
oh
second pin
ok
Hello, how can I install the "Modding API" manually?? Where is it?
why would you do that?
just use the installer
@golden marsh Try this, but delete all settings files that have globalsettings in it
Because someone told me in the "modding-development" section that if I install the API and the mods manually they will work in the latest version of the game
if you have the correct api version and the correct debug version, sure. but those are the only two that I'm aware of that have been ported
if you want anything else at all, you need to downpatch
which is just easier anyway
still not working
if i go to options
it says mods
and has benchwarp and QOL
but i have randomizer
osome helping moeds
randomapmod
nothing shows up in thw top left
so your API is working fine
did you close your game before you deleted the settings files
the game needs to be closed to do that
Can someone give me the link to the mod installer?

ok i deleted them do i launch the game or the mod installer
the game
ok iat working
but map mod says failed to load
im looking for modlog.txt
and i have no clue where to find it
do you have modcommon and randomizer 3
and serecore, qol, and vasi
if so, then just close and relaunch the game
does anyone know why the Grimmknight skin doesnt work cause it doesnt work for me but other skins do ?
your skin folder structure is probably incorrect then
what do you mean ?
I am on the newest patch of hollow knight 1.5 but still get this message what do I do
look at your skin folders, and make it match the others exactly
there can't be any extra folders in the structure

u
you already did this? #archived-modding-help message
anyone knows why cant i open mod installer for room randomizer?
What do you mean?
i am trying to install room randomizer mod but it doesnt want to open
That still doesn't help, do you mean the installer won't open? Does it give you an error or does it just close out instantly?
i got it i downloaded it from the nexusmods so it didnt worked.now ots working coz i instaled it from a pin

After not playing for quite a while, my Hollow Knight randomizer appears to have been turned off. Is there any way I can reactivate it for a randomized run in progress?
what do i do if i start the game under ground without being able to pause the game to turn on noclip when im trying to use decoration master
If you
- Change version of Rando, or
- Open a Rando save without Rando installed
then that run will be lost
Make sure Vasi and ModCommon are installed.
This can also happen if you saved on a fake bench, then load without Benchwarp iirc
ok thank you
i'm having an issue with the mod installer, it's saying that my game isn't updated, but its fully updated, meaning i cant fully install the launcher
Anyone knows how to install randomizer 3?

all of my mods are working fine but the game isn't connecting with my controller. is there any way to fix it?
joy2key
thanks i was so confused coz som tutorial on yt mentioned google drive mod list i was confused af
Oh. 😦 I was almost done with that run, I just needed to find the temple.
Are you on Mac/Linux?
no
If you haven't opened the file more than once, you may be able to restore a backup of it-- but again, if you changed Rando versions, it probably won't work right.
It updated, but I don't think that I changed versions.
still no good I literally don't understand
(For those who don't know I have verified integrity and tried uninstalling and reinstalling)
Go here, and make sure that "Force Controller Inputs" is enabled
- Switch the game to the 1432 Beta,
- wait about 5 minutes (so that it can revert everything correctly)
- Use this Browse button to open the game location:
I have been in 1432 beta this entire time
-
Then go in two folders from there
\hollow_knight_Data\Managed, -
Delete all of the
Assembly-CSharpfiles you see (there should be at least 2 of them, possible more) -
Then use "Verify Integrity" again. Wait a few minutes for it to finish.
-
Then launch Mod Installer again.
AH sorry I should have let you finish
If you want help with something, please:
🔹 Give a thorough explanation of the problem. Saying "it's not working" is meaningless.
🔹 List what you tried doing to fix it.
i liked the blue diamonds better
I do blue diamonds for anything that I want to "stand out" or be long-lasting. hyphens for quick responses.
I do think that 🔹 help with readability, to an extent.
@pliant lantern Sorry I was thinking that there would be a place to submit tickets where I could do just that. I have the desired skins in the correct folder, however the customknight mod doesn't seem to work without having other mods installed. After installing more mods it started working. Basically, I want to know how to make it work without installing 5+ mods I am not using. Currently whenever I select esc it shows me a list of the skin names, however when I click on them the knight flashes and remains the default skin
CustomKnight requires ModCommon
Make sure you have mod common, and also that your file structure for the skins is correct
If the knight just flashes, then you may have the folders wrong as well
if it becomes white boxes, then you need to switch skins in a small room (like stag station)
The skins were working when I had that on though. Alright I'll give that a shot if the issue comes up
thank you
Skins always need to be in this file structure (no extra folders)
Yep
Skins also don't work with LightBringer, and technically don't work with HollowPoint, although recent CK has a workaround for that
Oh that might be my current issue as well. I am trying to use hollowpoint
Still nothing- although I noticed your last step was to "launch mod installer again." I haven't gotten that far yet, I'm trying to run HK itself first, that's what keeps crashing
It's dinner time so no replies for a bit but anymore suggestions would be greatly appreciated, bless everyone who has helped so far
What is the CK fix?
does it crash with error log, or just close, or
I tried multiple different grimm skins and they don't work any time I click in menu it just put default skin. Fix?
Other skins work but some don't.
You need to install the modcommon mod
I was having the same issue @unkempt stirrup
Ok? Were is that?
on the installer
if you were asking me, it crashes at start up, and it does give the error notification and log
are you using a controller
nope, got my trusty mouse and keyboard set up right now
i assume there isn't one plugged in either
The only thing plugged in besides my mouse is my phone, but I only plugged it in a few minutes ago to charge and I've been trying to fix this problem for 8 hours so that couldn't be it lol
did you delete all assembly-sharps in your HK folder and re-validate everything through steam
yes
can you screenshot the Managed folder
Does multiworld require VPN?
no
and your steam is set to 1.4.3.2?
yes
and after you verified integrity you reset the installer and whatnot?
Is there any way to use skins with hollowpoint mod?
honestly if it's still being stupid i would just totally wipe that (dont delete the save folder) and just reinstall lol
can you send a recent output log after downpatching/verifying
^ found in saves folder
by "reset the installer" do you mean after I verify the integrity after deleting the few specific files I uninstall and reinstall? And I have tried wiping the folder and reinstalling
where do I find the saves folder?

Hi, is there a updated video on how to install randomizer?
@meager widget If you already have the mod installer, the item randomizer mod is in the mod list there. Should automatically download required mods with it. If not you can see which ones are required with the rando in the Readme text
I don't have anything haha, never downloaded a mod, i'm going to download it now
Sounds good. Let me know if you need any help
ok, ty
I keep getting an error message when I try to install the Charm Overhaul mod. Is that normal?
What is the error message?
i am new to modding and i downloaded the installer and when i open it i see this.
i am on the newest patch of the game and have the newest version of hk and also the newest version of modloader
then go into properties>betas>1.4. something beta
i was having this problem, fixed it on accident, but now my friend is having this same problem, despite doing exactly what i did
The mod installer doesn't work for the newest version of the game
ok ill try that
1.4.3.2 beta
Then it should remove the message
1.4.3.2 or beta?
1.4.3.2
okk
They are both betas I believe
its asking me for a code
doesn't require a code, just close the menu
Did you wait for the game to redownload?
i had to wait a download and then it;s like this
if it helps
ok so i'm new to mod installer
mod manager
it auto installs mods?
i don't have to do anything?
It should auto install at least
oh nice
Its pretty intuitive. Just select install on the mod you want from the list
And it will download the required mods for that as well
it worked! ty sooo so much
No problem
I'm still trying to figure out what is wrong with the Charm Overhaul mod. As it was working earlier and now its not.
Are you still getting an error message?
don't have any save files
I am
so i had my friend change to the 1.4.3.2 and so on version, but he's still getting the.. this, we've been at this for 30 minutes
reinstall the launcher?
Did you wait for the game to reinstall on that patch?
what is it doing?
now it's doing this, but it is.. "installing" but this pops up after it downloads
or somelike like that, i copied the image from above another person sent
try uninstalling the mod, then reinstalling
I've done that and it still decides to not work and keeps popping up with the same message
there are no mods, just trying to get the installer itself, to install
when in doubt we can go back to step one, reinstall the launcher and see what happens
Do that. the image you sent is for the charmOverhaul mod, I'm not sure how it would react the same as the launcher. Make sure the file path is correct maybe? I'm not super well versed in modding hollow knight
is it? oh, i copied an image from above is why, still similar error message
can someone help me i try to install new mods but the mod manager does not open
The error messages might look similar but can be very different
The manager takes a while to open. So it might be that
it is not i already waited
apparently "path to the c-:temp is denied" is now popping up
So your file path is being denied
I think the mod is working right, tysm for the help!
No problem, let me know if you have any other issues
(again i'm trying to get it working for my friend)
magically my installer worked, for sooome reason, but what i did isn't working for him
Strange. I have to go eat dinner now, so I wish you the best of luck
we'll do what we do best, ram the systems until it gives up and works

what's the mod that lets you see where all items are in map
randomapmod
run as admin
make sure installer is on desktop
we'll try that
does it say because it's in use by another program
oddly enough when it worked for me, when it asked if the path was correct, i clicked no, then it asked it again for some reason, and i clicked yes, and it works now, but, i don't know why, but hey, it works.. but now i've gotta figure out how to get it to work for my friendo
since what i did, isn't happening for him
this is the HK server
did you check the pins
going to try reset it
YES idk what made it work, but it worked!
NOW.. we figure out how to make the multiplayer mod work..
from what i heard, only the person planning to host should download the multiplayer server thing, yeah?
follow up question, would we both need to download the multiplayer client
i'm going to assume yes..
oh yay new problem, when they try to install a mod, it says access to the path denied, i think someone said something about that up above
host doesnt get client
your file directories are messed up to where you dont have admin privileges
they gave it admin privileges though (ran it as admin)
?? ookay nevermind something magically worked
soo now i have the host thing, and they have the client thing.. now to figure out how to.. well now that i have stuff at least working, youtube video here i come! thank you everyone for the help
aha, I found it
made sure uninstall and reinstall, downpatch to 1432, then delete the two files, the reverify so it's a completely fresh log
Is there a way to downgrade this game for the mod installer
I just joined because I had the exact same problem as you, so... here's hoping this works for me as well.

oh my gosh I'm not the only one 🤝
It worked yesterday, today it didn't. I've been troubleshooting it for four hours. Ssso really hoping!
It's almost not woth it
if you haven't already, I've only talked in here about this issue so you can search for from:mop and jump to the first one to see all the things I've tried and the conversation so far, maybe there will be something there for you
have you done the 2nd pin already
Aye aye.
have you tried deleting the HK folder and just reinstalling from scratch
yes
after i install the custom skin mod and run the game it crashes
Have you downpatched?
what version do i go down to?
Check the second pinned message
this is modded correct
ok thanks

here's mine for comparison
okay.. how do i host a multiplayer game, i've got the multiplayer server mod thing, friend has the client, we're trying to do it via hamachi as a video recommended
You just have the server mod and connect to your own ip, then your friend connects
Also you need the client mod as well
i was told i didn't need the client though?
though it makes sense that i would need it
All players need the client mod, but only the person hosting needs the server mod
just to be clear you deleted your game files & save files?
In my previous attempts, I have, yes.
ye
okay so i got the client and the host thing.. now what, the boxes i'd normally be able to type ip n stuff into aren't showing up
maybe it isn't configured correctly.. which is strange because it said that it was
Can you screenshot your pause menu
like in game?
have you tried running game as admin as well?
.
the pause menu looks like the default game, without any mod stuff
hello
the mod installer cant find the game file
does anyone know how to fix it please ?
ty <3
Yes. Still crashes.
in the past, but I'm not sure if I've tried it since attempting some other fixes, so I'll check again
nope, same result as always on admin
Then that probably means that your mods aren't working in general
are you on a 64 bit system?
yeah, problem is, i dont know why
