Reset your installer using the instructions in the link below, then move it on to your desktop and run it as administrator and make sure to give it the right pathing #archived-modding-help message
i could reinstall the installer and figure that out
Don't
do you know how to add launch options to steam? if so can you try -force-d3d9
32 or 64 info is found here right?
From the title screen, open the options menu and tell me if there's a mods option
nope
Have mods worked at all yet?
are you on w7 or w10
Yes, attempting so now.
w10
Well first, go to the installer, (for mi1) make sure there's not a button that says "Enable Modding API" at the bottom, or (for mi2) search for the modding api in the mod list and make sure it's installed and enabled
type my pc into windows search, then hit properties on this pc
https://files.catbox.moe/9rit4y.png should say this
it does say that
i don't see a button labled enable modding api, nor a search bar in the mod list
wait nevermind im blind, found search bar
Sad to report it still crashes.
Okay, then try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pinned message
@native ice i'm not seeing anything titled modding api
do you both happen to have any virtual display adapters installed like citrix
aw dang my old job did require that and I never uninstalled it
Then read the message directly above yours
i did that already
try uninstalling that and re-launching HK
This?
I do not.
yes i went to the second pin, deleted the files, verified integrity and fixed, but its saying something about modding api, which i don't see here
i didn't see it install anything
can you try adding a windowed launch exception
although if it did automatically, which i for some reason didn't see that word until now, i'll launch hollow knight and see
Can do!
yep that didn't do anything
i don't think my modinstaller has the modding api thing. if thats even possible..
Are you using installer 1 or 2? 1 looks like this
i think 1, since mine does look like that
And the box there that says "Revert back to unmodded" is that there?
yes
Well, try benchwarp fix from this message.
even forcing windowed mode with -sw changes nothing, still crashes after splashscreens.
I'm so sorry for all the trouble, thank you for the assistance.
well i searched the thing, and there are no files with "ModdingApi.GlobalSettings" in their file name.
honestly reinstalling the installer may help, considering its only working because of a glitch, i'm 90% sure of it anyway
imma do that, since i know how to activate that "glitch" anyhow
Wait wdym it's only working because of a glitch?
i have no idea
What kind of glitch?
the mod manager is "working" but i don't think it is actually working
so i don't think everything installed properly
What makes you think that, was there an error message, or?
well no, it just, worked, when it wasn't working, i'll explain the best i can in the following
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 then "worked"
meaning, it asked if the path was correct twice, the first time i said no, the second time i said yes, and it loaded up the mod manager
because those were different paths
were they? oh
At the bottom, select "Change Default Install Path"
Then, from the steam library > right click HK > select properties > local files > browse > and double check the pathing of the file it opens. Then make sure to give the installer that same pathing, it should stop in the Hollow Knight folder with the hollow_knight Application
i only understand half of that sentence
what do you mean by double check the pathing of the file it opens?
When you click browse it'll open a folder, if you're on windows, at the top of it will be a file path (Example image below), take note of the pathing, and lead the installer down that same path
well i'm at least that far, i have the path, but where do i put it?
wait i think i got it
actually, maybe not
sorry, i'm a crippling idiot with this kind of stuff
I'm trying to get mine working right now
Keeps saying my game isn't on the latest stable version

On the installer, select "Change Default Install Path", and use that pathing there
yes but it isn't wanting to put the pathing in, like i cant drag the pathing into anywhere
unless i make a new folder for it and drop it in
It needs a beta access code to convert to 1.4.3.2
You don't, just set it to 1.4.3.2, close the menu, and let it download
it pops up with a menu wanting an input, but the pathing isn't a option for the input, and i can't add it either apparently
You can't paste it in, you just need to know the pathing and follow it, like in the example image, find the C: folder, open that, find the Program files (x86 folder and open that, etc.
If you get what I mean
oh, jeez i really am an idiot..
yeah i found that..
okay so i set the pathing to that. i think
And once you're at the right folder, highlight the Hollow Knight folder, and select ok
did that, do i launch hollow knight and hope its working?
Maybe close the installer and reopen it first
oh lovely it installed modding api now
nice
why it didn't do that before, i haven't the slightest clue
sooo launch hollow knight, pray it works now yes?
Yep
is it possible to reopen path of pain through save data editing
Congrats lol, now go install some mods
well i'm trying to do the multiplayer one with my friend.. now to figure out that..
Qol mod should let you replay pop, you can also probably save edit it open yea
oo i think its working.. i think once my friend gets back we can test
the modding api thing is there, i've got the thing i've been looking for.. now if they can join me.. lets hope
Oh also, you may want to use this other multiplayer mod instead, it's more stable then the one on the installer and it's got some extra features. Here's the github, the readme is on this page https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
And there's more info here https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
we will at that in a sec then, want to see if this at least works to see if we did it right
is there a mod to change the amount of charm slots you have?
There's one that gives you infinite, and you can probably save edit your notch count to higher
damn, how did i miss that. ty i see it
i'm sorry to keep asking questions,, but how would i get my friend into my game?
buy it for them
IT RUNS NOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙 💙 This took ten hours you are a godsend
You create a network on hamachi, joins your own server using your ipv4 on hamachi, and then your friend joins using your ipv4. Also port should be 26950
Okay, so i have some mods installed, but they aren't showing up in my game
so... whats an ipv4..?
Try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pin
It's an ip address, right click the area next to the power button on hamachi and select "Copy ipv4 address"
i know the port needs to be that, what about the bottom box
is it suppose to be my name or their name
Just a nick name for you
and do i need to be near a bench of is anywhere fine
Anywhere is fine, but you should probably be in the same room
so it doesn't matter what they type for the "name" ?
nope
yes
guessing the same stuff?
you need to type in your ipv4, the same port, whatever name you want, and you press connect first
ooooh, okay trying that
IT WORKED, thank youuuu and i'm sorry that i'm such an idiot!
Hey team, when I try to enter certain rooms (eg bathhouse in the city of tears, unlock jiji's cave) I get a message: "Elderbug's words ring in your ears... There's a time and a place for everything, but not now". I'm using randomizer and all its dependencies and the visible healthbar mod. What could be causing this and how do I stop it? Ideally without uninstalling anything
Thank you!
That's randomizer, it's to prevent you from wasting your key there since there's a more important place to use it, being royal waterwats
Ah, thank you!
menu for stuff like getting ohko'd in godhome won't show up anymore
so i can't disable getting one shot in godhome
uh, is the mod still showing up in the top left of the pause menu?
easier pantheon practice is
but i'm not sure if that's the mod that does it
the ui for the options is usually in the bottom right hand corner of the pause menu
Yea it's easier pantheon practice, have you restarted your game?
yeah
i did some weird shit earlier with disabling mod api because i wanted to downpatch for speedrunning but i decided not to
probably has something to do with it
it's enabled
Oh wait
Do you have modcommon?
I think that easier pantheon practice needs mod common and maybe sere core
yeah i have both
installed and enabled?
ok it started working again ig
i just un and reinstalled
but the ui still isn't there
i just don't get one shot
hm
also i died to p5ab vengefly king
yes
Oh also, you're in the hall of gods right? Not in godhome or in a boss fight
godhome
it only shows up in hall of gods
yeah its working pretty good, thank you so much for your help
np
how do i open up the debug menu
Im trying to install mods on linux, but the mod manager only gives me the option to manually install mods, which I dont think is what i want
Press f1
Close the installer, reopen it, and send a screenshot of the error that pops up
alright thank you
Try this installer instead #archived-modding-help message
Do i put this in the hollow knight directory?
Also thanks, makes my life so much easier!
No, just download it, remove the installer from the zipped folder, and put it on your desktop
Ok, i have the Modinstaller2 and Modinstaller2.p-db on my desktop
the first one opens a black notepad, and the second doesnt open at all
mmm, I'm very unfamiliar with linux. Do either of em have an icon?
off topic, but are mods compatible with 1.5 yet? Or do I need to move to the 1.4 version
yes
They are not
Uh, well judging by the icon I'm gonna assume the not p-db is what you want. Does the black notepad say anything?
not that i can tell. Its trying to open it in wine, but it doesnt let me open it with any other application
thank you
Uh, this might just be for mac, but I know you sometimes have to right click the mod installer, select "Open package contents" and find an application inside that folder and move that onto your desktop and run it
There isnt an option to do that. only to extract it
uh, well I've got no clue
do you know any people who have played modded on linux?
Unfortunately not, but someone might come around and see your message later
I'm still having issues regarding my game saving when I use a randomizer
I sit at the bench. The little save icon appears but it won't let me use the menu to quit to the main menu. Someone told me to Alt+F4 cause the game supposedly did save but it didn't and I lost 2 hours of progress
I think that's a vanilla glitch, but I'm not sure why or what to do to fix it
is there a 1.5 mod installer?
I don't believe so
hm ok ty
No, but yuo can downpatch, check the second pinned message
ok ty
i need help finding a mod for health bars
Look through the colllection of ReadMes pinned message for a description of available mods.
What you want is called Enemy Hp Bars
the files
oh ok
uhh there is no mods in the hollow knight files
and no EnemyHPBar.ddl
Are you using the installer?
can someone help me, i was trying to install the hk mod but it says that he doesn't found the game files

Whats the mod that sells all of your relics at once to lemm called?
i am trying to install the Extremelyd1 online mod, but it says on the tutorial that i need to put the dll in the mods paste, but where is the dll?
If I had to guess it'd probably be qol, but not certain
You download the dll from the github page
The what?
ModdingAPI
Yep its qol. Is qol on the mod installer?
yea
i did that, but i still can't find the dll
Download the releases section, you mighta downloaded the source code
When you run the installer it installs the api automatically, then you just download mods. Not sure what you're talking about
run the installer?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
i downloaded the file not an application
ooooooooooooooooooh
and it doesnt wanna work
When i first load it up this is what i see and if i press the white box..
This shows up but no mods.
Even if i type in a mod name it doesnt show mods.
Is there a new version of it?
Close your installer, reopen it, and take a picture of the error that pops up
First pinned message
found em?
I don't know how to do any of that is the problem-
wait is the git gud patch a good idea?
Is there a video on how to fix the modinstaller river?
I don't think so
Hmm.. well i don't know how to do it-
Do you want me to walk you through it?
Yes please
lol, axoloti
So first, find your installer (the zote head) and delete it, then check the rest of your desktop, if there's a file called "AU" anywhere, delete that aswell
Find in my files?
I saw one but in my downloads but its gone now even though i didnt delete it.
looks like it's right behind the error in the picture you sent
No i mean an au file
Well it should be on your desktop, but if you don't see one thats fine
Okay whats next? Just reinstall the mod loader?
Yeah im on windows
okay, on your keyboard, press Windows Key + R at the same time
paste in %appdata%\..\Local
Now what?
and click "ok"
Yep did that
then in the folder that opens, find the folder called ModInstaller and delete it
Next, are you on chrome?
Google Chrome
I can open it up lol
Is that your main browser?
Ye
okay, so open it then in the top right corner look for 3 dots lined up vertically
and click "Settings", then scroll down to "Privacy and security" and select "Clear browsing data" and clear "Download History" and "Cached images and files"
don't have to completely, just cached images and files. But download history is optional
Well i was planning on doing that eventually anyway lol so that just made me do it sooner. Anyway now what?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Np! 
uhh that didnt work-
the same error came up-
is it because i downpatched then?
downpatched what? The game?
yeah. i downpatched to 1.2.2.1 for speedrunning but before i downpatched and tried the mod loader without going to 1.4.3.2 this error wouldnt pop up.
so is downpatching the reason why?
Well, you can't use the installer with 1.2.2.1 if you're still on that
no i have 1.4.3.2 as well. i can load both of them whenever i want because i used the load an external steam game system that steam has so i can use them both.
here ill show you my steam to show what i mean
ah, well. Are you sure that your installer is pathed to the correct install?
it should be because it pathed it to 1.4.3.2 before i downpatched for the first time i installed it
The hollow_knight one is 1.2.2.1
incase thats not obvious-
Have they updated the modding thing?
i asked that too
but i just installed it again
and its still for 1.4.3.2 so i dont think so
To 1.5? No
When you launched your installer again, did it prompt you on where your install was?
it said pathed but it didnt say anything else.
should i do all those steps again and check?-
Just reset it again (Delete the modinstaller file in Local)
don't have to but if it's the same error then probably
alright
just the au file, don't needa delete the installer
theres no au files
it might have just pathed wrong the second time
am i gonna need to delete the cache again?
no
just reset it, then launch it, and instead of clicking "Yes" double check the path it has is right
That's likely the 1.4.3.2, but you can manually path it there if you click no
okay im gonna click no just so i can double check
okay now that i pressed no now what?- im so confused-
did it open a different menu?
yeah it opened the browse for folder menu
then find your 1.4.3.2 install
i dont know what it is.
Where'd you make your 1.2.2.1 install?
I did it like 2 months ago i dont remember. I dont know what im doing.
uhh, well it'll probably be this path
okay
uhh its saying its outdated- i think they did update it-
OH-
im stupid-
its saying the debug mod is-
Hm?
i thought it was saying the installer was outdated but it was the debug mod
also its working now
Oh nice lol
thank you so much for all your help
i seem to be unable to launch the mod installer, when i try to launch it, either in normal or admin mode, it starts a window, immediatly closes it, and then nothing, afterward i tried redownloading it, it give me an error saying that access to the path to AU.exe is denied, afterwards i redownloaded from github, and get the same problem as i started with
First pinned message
trying to find debugmod 1.3.3 for Hollow Knight 1.2.2.1 because it has working savestates; but, I can only find the sourcecode. current debug mod has a problem that prevents it being used for speedrun practice. The source code will not build. If anyone still has a copy of the old debug mod before they screwed up savestates, please let me know. I am trying to practice all skills watchers and I need quick repetitions to develop the muscle memory on it.
I don't have the 1.2.2.1 debug, but might I suggest that you make a copy of the save file and copy paste it each time you wanna refight?
The problem is it respawns at spire bench. I need to create to create a savestate right outside of watcher arena.
ah yea, uhh. Cheat in dreamgate with a save editor?
No. In all skills, you don't have dreamgate at all to my knowledge. That also doesn't really help. Basically, what I need is the functionality of minisavestates; but, in a form that doesn't completely break the game.
i did it, now it's asking for me to update hollow knight, but it's already in the latest version
Second pinned message
minisavestates is buggy as all get out.
I meant, just to practice, since it doesn't really change anything for that fight
dreamgate would not reset the fight; but, just escape from it.
I meant combined with using a copy of the save
Keep in mind that rapid repetition is how you master anything and anything that detracts from it impedes the creation of muscle memory.
or you could even save quit just before beating the last one and repeating
Yes it impedes but that can be made up for with even more repetition
Not really......
Then how bout practicing in 1.4.3.2, does that change anything?
No. 1.4.3.2 is a completely different fight. Movement is completely different.
You cannot chain ddarks in 1.4.3.2
Mmk, well those are my suggestions but maybe someone will come along and get you the right version of debug mod, try asking in #modding-discussion or #speedrunning as well, they might have more info
River dop you know how to shoot in the hollow point mod?-
Wait figured it out-
How do you access the custom knight menu?-
It's in the top left of the pause menu, if you want to add skins check the near bottom of the pins, there's two google drives of skins and a tutorial for installing em
oh yea, forgot. Uhh unfortunately hollow point and custom knight don't really work together
very
Its also sad that you cant use normal spells in hollowpoint-
Uhh why cant i heal?- i dont know if its hollow point or what but the game wont let me heal
It's hollow point, you should probably check the readme. But essentially it makes it so soul is your ammo and it regenerates infinitely, and you heal by getting multiple consecutive hits without taking damage to build up adrenaline
Well that i dont like ;-;
Oh well-
Time to build up adrenaline before the soul tyrant fight
Wait- I CANT GET OUT OF THE AREA!-
I CANT USE THE DOWN ABILITY AND I NEED TO TO GET OUT!
What the hell do i do???
Are you doing rando?
after I download the mod and choose the installation path, it says i need to update the game... what do i do (i've already tried reseting it on the pinned message)

Oh, well you can still use the down ability. You just need 1 point of adrenaline, so save quit or exit the room if you have to
to respawn enemies
why doesnt hollow point work, adrenaline doesnt charge and guns dont shoot\
You need to press ur focus ability to pull out the gun
no like the guns, even when pulled out
will i still have my save files from newer versions? i don't want to lose a 109% file
If you started a new save you need to quit to menu and reopen it
you will
hello
Hey
what the fuck does he do now
i´m new in this server
Uh, alt f4 and try again?
Welcome, do you need help getting mods or?
Then, uh. You may want to move to a different channel
FUCK I JUST BIT MY LIP WHILE CHEWING ON GUM!- FUCKING PAIN! ;-;
Uhh river its not letting me quit to menu
uh, wdym?
Whenever i select yes it saves but doesnt do anything else
oh, welp. Not really sure how to fix that
I- tf?- now its working-
o
Wtf!?! Now its not!
Uhh-
Hold on im gonna send a video of what happens
Sometimes it does work but other times it doesnf
yea, that's a bug, not really sure how to fix it tho. If it works sometimes that's good enough lol
lucky it works at all
Should i do alt+ f4 so i can close the game and reopen it?
That'll lose progress even if it says it saved
whenever i setup modinstaller the savefile disappears and i can't even start a new game
I remember you, didn't you pirate the game?
what about it
It last saved at right after i killed soul master so no big deal
Then you won't get help
bruh
@native ice , just an update on the issue that you were assisting me with earlier. I found a copy of debug 1.3.3 pinned in HKR discord of all places. So, I can finally finish out my practice.
Ah, nice! Good luck!
dumb question: do i have to relaunch the game any time i enable or disable mods
The game should be closed, so yes
Leaving works now! I hust had to restart my game
Whenever you're changing anything make sure the game is closed, and if it's with installer files make sure the installer is closed

so it's been around a month since I last booted ModInstaller
and this popped up (AU one)
First pinned message
why won't it allow me to download some mods? im on the manager and it has an error message when i try to install
Well... what's the error?
Oh, hmm... well there's not really a certain fix for that as far as I'm aware. First, try the latest pinned message + run the installer as administrator. And if that doesn't work you may just need to manually install mods
ok, ill try that
so im dumb and didnt know what a "pinned mesage" was until now
we all been there
@native ice thanks btw
btw any news on 1.5 mod compatibility yet?
Not yet
question does the mod installer also work with 1221 or no
No it does not, you'd have to manually install mods specifically for 1.2.2.1, which I'm pretty sure there's one of
thanks
River do you know how much adrenaline you need to heal in hollowpoint? When i had one and tried to heal it didnt heal me
you need 3 and then you keep getting hits and it heals you automatically
focusing is pointless
Oh- okay
@native ice help
No
why
Because you admitted to
ing the game, I'm not gonna help you
i cant afford the game tho?
Pirating is still illegal, this is still the official server for the game, and if you can't afford the game then that's unfortunate but I'm still not gonna help you
Not according to google
you'd think so, but this is not the channel/server for that topic anyway
im trying to fight inferno king grimm but everyone is like "lmao pirate"

Man, you can't pirate Hollow Knight. The game is reaaaaaally cheap, you probably pay for other things way more expensive. And don't lie please, it's not like you cannot afford it, you don't want to pay for the game. I can understand if you are having problems with the bank, or something like that, but don't go pirating things like that, and even less if we are talking about the most excelent Metroidvania ever made. I'm not going mad/toxic at you, just, don't be like that, it stinks when someone does.
Uhh i cant sit at the benches i deploy in the benchwarp mod. Is that normal?
I think you have to disable a setting, the settings menu is in the very top right
Uhh what do i disable?
I can't remember exactly
Theres warp only, unlock all, show room name, use toom named, enable deploy, always toggle all, doot warp, enable hotkeys.
Enable deploy i think
did you by chance deploy it above ground? may be worth a try to just try again
That made the bench i placed disappear
What?
just try again, can't go wrong this time
there should be another tab named something similar to settings to the right of the deploy button
then i actually don't know what's wrong, sorry
try changing the settings under that
last time i had problems with benchwarp, i went into another room, back and placed the bench slightly different
Dude i dont know what you mean. Theres no button like settings for me.
send a screenshot
I figured it out.
was it the noninteractive setting messing you up?
I had to choose between cuphead and hollow knight and I went with cuphead for steam remote play
That is where I ran out of balance
I wanted to buy both cuz both are great
Then go play cuphead, and if you're young, you can ask your parents for an allowance or even to do actual work and save up to buy the game
River is there any way to move the names of the mods in the top left of the pause menu? Not get rid of it just move it. Im guessing not.
Don't think so
There's a single and simple reality, if you can't pay for something, you'll have wait until you can pay it, otherwise, you're stealing, i wouldn't mind if we would were speaking of other things, like, i don't know, musical tastes, or whatever tho, but instead, just think how you would feel if you make a game, that probably takes you years, and very much nights of non-sleep and someone comes and says, "nah, i don't want to pay you, instead, im going to take it for free, lmao"
Again, i'm not the better person on the world, but as i said earlier, don't do this things, it's bad for you, and it's bad for the team that created the game, no one wins.
time to see if someone got skipped
pirating is not the problem its that yall even care

one pirate is not gonna hurt the corporation
but theres soo many pirates lol
another problem is that this conversation was over and tried to start it again
lets just leave it ded ok?
yea
https://gist.github.com/Ruttie2006/4a04f790772ee4af9a2b9249655a91e7 and all grenades mods he released.
if we say that to every pirate then its gonna be a bad thing
tbf i first discovered the game by pirating it so i did a wrong but since then i've bought the game twice, once on switch and once on steam
thats a large number
yeah
5% of like 7 million is alot 
exactly
still the 95% profit is redeemable
My biggest problem with it was that they didn't seem to understand that if you pirate, you aren't gonna get help from the official server for the game
thats 5% less budget for silksong 🙃
refer to my previous statement
,,it can still put a big hurtin'.
if you want to pirate, go ahead, but the installer won't work and no-one here is going to help you
still, not a lot for a corporation with several investors and backing
aaa
oh hey dwarf
Team Cherry is a "corporation" now? That's hilarious
i mean ig
they are
Well, geez, I guess if you've said it, it must be true
???
just because they use "indie" and "team" to describe themselves doesn't mean shit
mostly just marketing speak
no?
what
they're not a giant corporation that has giant teams and makes alot of games
they aren't triple A scale
isnt it like.. 2-3 people...?
3 i believe
the only notible things they have are hungry knight and its ripoff hollow knight
lmao yep
damn
Generally speaking, "corporation" as a term is used to refer to a large company. Team Cherry is three people, and they use whatever money they can scrap together to pay contract parties to help them with things (like Larkin with music)
and those 3 people made one of my favourite games of all time so i have huge respect for them
they have marketing agents and other stuff, they have 5 developers but they do not do marketing and contracts
5 now?
Referring to a small indie team as a "corporation" is true in one legal sense, but not by a social language sense
the other 2 were just hired on the spot

I don't know if it's a modding issue or something else, but I've downgraded the game to 1.4.3.2 to be able to use custom knight and now, the map in the game I was playing is completely broken. The quick map button does nothing and in the menu, I only have "inventory", "charms" and "journal". Did anyone else have the same issue or know how to fix it?
Ok, that was just me... I hadn't played in a while and didn't realize I hadn't bought a single map in this savefile. 
Someone can help me, after i istalled the modInstaller and downloaded/loaded the mods, this screen started appearing when i try to open the game., then the bar fills up and the "game" (this screen) close. Im almost sure i did everything right. If someone knows whats happening help me pls

Second pinned message
daughter of hallownest (the skin) doesnt load with custom knight
- Make sure you have Mod Common
- Make sure your file structure is correct
i've extracted all the files
Daughter of Hallownest comes with a bunch of extra features which extend beyond custom knight
if you click through those folders in hollowknightdata you'll find another folder eventually labeled daughter of hallownest
You need to copy that folder into your custom knight folder
All skins must be:
custom knight/[folder with name of skin]/[image files]
thanks, it works now!
Hello, i recently installed hollow knight of of gog.com but when i try to install the modinstaller it said "unable to locate game files. Please make sure the game is installed and try again." Can you help me please?
can i not use modinstaller with a depot download version?
So long as you are on 1432 you can use the mod installer
does it have to be the main steamapps place?
It does not, but you will have to point your installer to the correct install
also what is the 1432 download command, i can only find up to 1424
You can check the pins for how to do that
In the guide (right near where the id numbers are) there's a link to a pastebin with the ID number for every patch
Please someone
i cant find it
Mod Installer doesnt want to launch
It's in the text right before or right after where you're looking
nvm
i am dont even know where im looking
Does it give you the option to find your file path
Are you on the guide on speedrun.com?
i sure am
this bit idk its the only manifest id bit i see
there is one further down
but its the same thing
someone can tell me where can i download skins for the custom knight mod?
There's two google drives linked in the pinned messages
so i wanna use this right, and just replace the manifest and depot things? dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 367520 -depot <depot> -manifest <manifest> -username <username> -password <password>
Can I ask why you're using this method?
There's a much easier one in the pins
But that seems correct
because, i am stupid, and i cant find what to do in pins
The second pinned message.
Yes, but it automatically chooses the right path
right click hollow knight in steam, then properties -> Betas -> 1432
@limber egret so what should I do?
It mustn't be going to the correct folder. Is it giving you the option to change it at all?
Yes it does
Screenshot the screen with the folder it's selecting for you
Wait, sorry, it's much simpler than this
?pins check the second pin

And your game is definitely set to 1.4 in game?
Yes
Have you opened it to double check
Yep
Okay let's go back to this then
what is the skin mod called?
I'm on my phone right now but I'll type you the path
custom knight
ty
It would be more useful to take a picture of the screen on your phone
where do you boy be getting skins from?
There's two google drives linked in the pins in this channel
Not all skins are made publicly available. You'll have to ask the person who's using it where they got it.
ok
i just tried to use the randomizer v3 mod but when i started a new game this happened and i cant move, jump and cant even open the pause menue. Would be nice if anyone would know a fix for this.
You need vasi installed
ah ty, it works fine now
Hello, I have a problem that I wanted to install a Hornet skin but when I placed it, it does not let me start hollow knight, and I do not want to uninstall it and reinstall it since the place where I am would take hours to reinstall (no se si este sea el canal correcto para escribir mà problema)
u should have the lastest version of the game, who dont support mods, go to the second fixed file and ull get all the info u need to make it work, idk how to explain it for myself
OK, thanks
what is the url for modinstaller of hollow knight does anyody know?

Installing custom knight also gave me a bunch of sprite sheets and charm sprites. Is it safe to delete those or do I have to keep them?
Hey guys, I just tried to install the ModInstaller and it shows the message "ModInstaller requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to the most current stable patch and try again." Any ideas on how to fix?
Would really like to try out the randomizer, that looks like so much fun!
Oh, you have to go into Steam and get the game back to the previous version, the modinstaller doesn't work with the latest one
ok thx i had the same problem
Thanks! Any specific version or does just the latest one not work?
I think there's only one other version to go back to
I know it has the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, I just don't know the order they're in
thanks for the help guys, I'll try it!
I hope it works ^^
It worked, thanks! Now let's see if the mods itself work, can't wait to start a randomizer run!
and is there like a list somewhere where the mods in the ModInstaller are explained?

Any idea what I should do?

ok thanks
basically change your version to the only one available in the steam beta menu
btw, my first random enemy in King's pass was a Watcher Knight ^^
there's slight input lag on hkmp is there any way to fix that
Idk why, but every time I put a mod o my Hollow, the Hollow Crashes, and the last time I did it, it worked, but now just crash

you're gonna have to give more info than that. what's your fps at? what are your machine specs? do you have vsync on? what resolution are you playing at?
need some context
turn on the fps display in steam game settings
mk
It’s the only mod i never take off
could someone join my multiplayer just to help me test fps
without being connected to any other computer i get around 250
can someone help me with my custom knight mods, i think i have done the file placement correctly, same with extracting my folders, but my skin doesnt change, my brain hurts, can someone help me.
screenshot where you put them and also your title screen of the game
i will in a sec
if i send the picture later should i ping u?
bc im not able to do this rn
so... you asked for help, but you can't troubleshoot right now?
lol
and no, don't ping me. just post your stuff here later. people are usually around.
are mods compatible with the current update yet?
nope
damn :(
good thing downpatching is easy and affordable!
For just 3 clicks, you too can enjoy the HK modded experience!
only 0.00!
Or just downpatch
hey
ı need help
why the modding thing dosent work on the new version
and when they gonna fix it
b/c the game was updated and the mods haven't been yet
eventually, maybe
if you want to keep using mods, downpatch to 1.4.3.2
The main issue is that mods will have to be updated individually by their original maker, or someone else will have to take the code and update it. This is not something where a fix to the API or a few mods will do it. It affects almost all mods and a lot of modders are now inactive. Team Cherry made some major back-end game engine changes, so updating every mod that's been made is not trivial. From a player perspective, the changes are pretty minor ones, so playing on 1.4.3.2 should be just fine.
#1432rant
get QoL, and you almost don't need 1.4 anymore
i mean, i'm not going back to 1.4 for the other mods anymore
thanks btw :)
pinging boss D:
backend engine changes? like stuff with loading and performance?
I see
TC has time to update HK but still working on SS lol
wonder what's going on over there
can’t get multiplayer mod to work 😔
well updating only costs coding work, so if art is not ready yet, or not polished enough they can do multiple things at once
what's the specific problem
not a modder myself but maybe someone else can help
a friend and i tried to get it to work but it wouldn’t connect us
what’s dis @fair briar
2 guides, one for hosting and one for joining/installing HKMP, a different mod from the one on the installer (which has more features and is better)
what does it stand for
Hollow Knight MultiPlayer
has more stable connections, and to see all the new features, in-game go to the mods settings/options and see for yourself
Four very notable features:
- It has a method of supporting skins
- It actually works with any valid port (the other multiplayer mod only works with one port)
- It only uses one mod, instead of the need for hosts to have two and clients to have 1.
- It allows for Servers to be hosted, that people can easily join/leave, instead of needing to depend on one Host playing.
And yeah, while there's a lot of bug-fix stuff, the most important part there compared to the other Multiplayer mod is that the other one essentially doesn't work for players on WiFi, and/or requires pretty frequent full-game restarts (as any internet hiccup breaks everything with that one)
is the gid gud patch a good mod?
No
shit
Don't use Nexus mods for HK modding
ok

does down patching hurt your save files?
no
Hi, I installed the Kakyoin Noriaki mod, and am currently having problems with custom text. Apparently the mod is supposed to change various item descriptions and stuff like that, but it just..doesn't. The texture changes, however, work just fine (the knight is now kakyoin, the geo is greenish, etc.). Any idea what could be causing this? The mod didn't mention any dependencies to download.
Can someone help me with some skins?
sure
My skins doesn't work.
unfortunate
Oh
I think that i don't have modcommon.
what is the invulnerable mod called ?
then get it
Mod Installer, no?
yes
Yes, i have it.
is it working now?
yes
ok
hi i just recently wanted to mod hollow knight cuz i finished the game but when i installed the installer it said i needed the most recent version but i am on the most recent version

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.
I have modcommon mod aswell
sounds like your folder structures are wrong
show me ur custom knight files
click on rainy or grimm's
move all of your files to grimmknight folder
Delete that?
k
the mod is looking in the folder I circled for the images
but you have them 1 folder deeper
yes should be
np
So my mods randomly stopped working
Like they're active, just not like working
I go into a new game and it focuses the camera on the geo rock next to where you start
And I can't do anything
screenshot your title screen
Is that all it is?
b/c you don't have vasi
what
When it freezes you like that
no
when it says "failed to load" on the title screen, then it "failed to load"
you are missing Vasi
install vasi
QoL needs it to run
I keep having problems with my skins, again.
unfortunate
your skin folder structure is probably incorrect, like what we helped the person above with. But it's impossible to say, b/c you're giving no context for your problem other than "it's not working"
tips for people asking for help in modding-help: please describe what your problem is exactly instead of just saying "it doesnt work." we cant exactly know what your problem is until you describe it to us
When I try to put on a skin, the skin bar disappears. Is it correct?
what does that mean
modcommon
I have that
then you're going to have to better describe what you've done
screenshots help
did you hide the menu with F1 by accident?
do you have a shit ton of mods?
do you have moresaves?
no I have custom knight and debug
nvm I tried again and it worked
i opened the tanjiro mod as an example
this doesn't help me. include the address bar
so what's the issue
all your skins should be structured like this one
managed/mods/customknight/[skin folder]/[skin pngs]
do you have modcommon\
yez
Do you have MoreSaves?
no
screenshot your main screen

I am currently trying to do Multiplayer with my friend and we are using hamachi but it's not working, could I get some assistance
Check the pins for Multiplayer Procedures.
You'll probably all be better off using HKMP instead though
HKMP install guide: https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
What is HKMP/
?*
HKMP is a HK MultiPlayer mod that is actively being developed. The one on Mod installer is abandoned and really broken.
If you've watched streamers like Fireb0rn play multiplayer anytime recently, they've been using HKMP
how do i install hollow knight custom knight
