thank you 
I set my fps to 160, because that seems to be a good balance for me. Most people recommend 200-300, depending on who you ask, but I don't like needing to enable Vsync for Vengeflies to work
Vsync 👀
<400 fps 
@vague fossil wait crap that anim is idle right? the frame missing thing is for the running anim sorry i got them mixed up, the frame missing thing shouldnt be happening for idle
Ok thanks
What do i do if the installer says to update my game, and it's already up to date?
check to see that youve packed the sprites properly

@vague fossil 001-06-000 should be 001-06-003
SOMEBODY TRICKED ME
i still don't get how people make skins
and pain
i have tried but thats still a secret
how are you doing this? are you not using the sprite dump?
Um I'm using a sprite packer
My (arguably too) in-depth tutorial on how to create a Custom Knight skin. Includes: downloading and installing Hollow Knight's ModInstaller and Custom Knight mod, using SpritePacker, using FireAlpaca/art tips, and uploading and properly saving your sprite, plus a much simpler method. Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions!...
Just follopwing this vid
sprite dump 
yeah i just dont get how the names got mixed up
how I enter this place
godhome?
I'm stupid. I tried to delete it beacause its almost a copy so I just deleted it...
oh fair enough
Im new in game so I dont know how to go there
don't you want to play the game before modding?
I always get an infinite loading screen when I try to load a save state that was in the radiance fight, is there a way I can somehow fix this? I want to practice radiance for my te speedrun and having to fight thk every time is really boring
I'm on 1.4.3.2 btw
@gloomy coral more radiance ^
start with posting modlog
go to saves

and get modlog.txt
send it here
gimme a sec
not old modlogs
unless you played the game again after it happened
the latest modlog should just be in saves
so, the hollow knight folder
I did play the game again after it happened
then look for the modlog that has the date/time of when it happened
Uncapped I'm 5-600, but half the enemies act like their on speed.
ok I don't remember when that happened I'm just gonna make it happen again
600 is a number i can only dream of 
5-600 is quite the large range
i think i'm around 450-550 and some other lighter scenes do reach the 4 digits
I don't have an emoji to properly express my response to that
dwarf not having enough emotes 
actually I have something important to do, I can't do it rn, I'll do it about 30 mins later
goodbye for now
quick thing, I'm doing custom skins, and normally, from what I understand, I take the folder with the icons and I used the google docs in pins to find them, there's one called Nekomata that looks nice, but not only does it have custom sprites, it also has Sharedassets, DLLs, etc. it looks like the file also just has a copy of the custom knight mod, but im unsure
you can just find the folder with the normal customknight png files if you just want those, otherwise find the hollow_knight_Data folder in the skin and copy it to your hollow knight installation. click yes to replacing files
Oh I found the folder with the PNGs, I just wanted to know if I could copy those without needing to reinstall the seanprcore or whatever else Ive already downloaded
get modinstaller.zip from pins
should be called mac.zip
no
just modinstaller.zip
by 56
Ok thanks
it says it's out of date
also there are some mods that aren't on here
is there a way to manually install them?
i don't even see the out of date thing anymore
not sure why
im clicked on the "Out of date" tab rn
there's nothing there
hi everyone. So I think I did everything to manage skins in hollow knight, but when I go to the menu in-game, it doesnt say I can change it
by it I mean skins
is there any mods for speedrun timers? or some kind of thing that I can customize so I know where to go?(like this )
start a save and press esc, make sure you have modcommon installed
anyone know a place to manually download mods?
ok i found the mod i was looking for, does anyone know where to find the mods folder?
@brazen pasture i prob missed something and you half made it lol
dammit i don't think this mod works on mac
ok then does anyone know where the mods are or is it only in the main hollow knight folder
im not sure if there are any other separate mod files that are stored in other locations as well
if so that's where i need to drop this mod
right-click the hollow knight app and go to show packaged content
https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/cg9vl
the speedrun timer is called livesplit, its a bit complicated to set up if you're new to it, but this page on speedrun.com lays out some of the details about how to get the automatic splits set up
Speedrunning leaderboards, resources, forums, and more!
okay thank you very much
I downloaded the mod manager from the pin and tried to start it, but it keeps saying i need to update hollow knight to a more stable version...
But when i look at steam, there is no new update
anyone know what to do?
im in the folder right now and i don't see anythign
Are you on 1.5?
You need to be on 1.4.3.2 to make the modinstaller work
._.
check the pinned comments in this channel. hollow knight had an update a few weeks ago (1.5), and the mods run off of the previous patch of the game, and haven't been updated yet. the way to downpatch to the previous version is in the pinned comments, and isn't that complicated for steam users
do you see hollow_knight_data
i see data but not hollow_knight_data
Oh, i see. Thank you for the help
is that in the contents page
yes
*folder
can I see where it says contents
i downloaded the debug mode, turned on some of the hacks, turned up my nail damage, but now i cant turn it off no matter what. i tried uninstalling debug, still got debug hacks. tried upgrading to the current patch, still got the hacks.
so im in common
i go into hollow knight
then i right click the application icon
click show package contents
there's a folder named contents
i click that
i don't have the application anywhere else except for in common
im also on 1.4.3.2
not sure if that makes a difference or not
how exactly does saving with the mulitplayer mod work, do both players have to save or just the host?
you have to edit your save file. the nail dmg is written in it
ok, how do i do that?
Just put debug on again and reduce your nail damage using that
hello! im trying to mod hollow knight throgh radiance because thats what all the videos ive wached say to use but it keeps saying hollow knight isnt 'the most stable version to run' what do that mean?

how do i go back versions?
The first pinned message
yeah, but i did it wayy too much and i dont know how many times i should minus it to get back to my original strength
The box on the left hand side tells you your current nail damage
You want 5 damage for your regular basis, +4 more for each level of upgrade.
So Pure Nail would be 21, for example
hey, how excatly does the multiplayer save system work? does only the host have to save and you play on his/her savefile or does every single person have to save and have the same savefile?
you all have a different save file, the only thing that is synced is that you can see others
@fair briarsorry for sending this reaaaaally late I didn't think it would take this long
anyways here's the file
no problem, will prob be added to the list of things to fix until it fixes itself 🥴

what mods do/did you have?
cus there are some wonky errors
oh wait i'm stupid i can see that in modlog 
well first of all you need itemchanger
whenever i download CustomKnight, my mods get disabled. Like before installing, the mod text is visible in the corner of the screen, but goes away after installing CK
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)

then launch game or reinstall CK first?
Could someone send me a Hornet skin? I'm not finding
daughter of hallownest
its in the TWP drive
launch the game after that
tks
I'm having trouble downloading and getting the mod installer to work, wont even oepn
live split starts when I start the game but doesent pause when I pause the game and it also doesent update the splits unless I click settings
#speedrunning can help you better
kk
also, do you have autosplitter enabled and livesplit doesn't pause whe you pause is intentional
^
This means you can pause at hard parts and because pausing is used during certain tricks (I think)
pausing is used in AG
where do I enable this? and how can i make it so it pauses? (I probably cant do a full play through in one go)
like i said
when i am running the mod installer it says invalid path, please select the correct path
i couldnt reply before because reasons but i see when i said my modinst wont open i got the "check pins" reaction, modinst doesnt show an error just instantly crashes, does it get fixed the same way?
3rd pin
3rd pin doesnt really say what it does but i guess imma try it
just trust me it works
but also like... its been a while since that first happened why isnt it fixed
cus the problem is updates not working
i remember using that pin MONTHS ago
so it cannot update
so? Most pins are really old cus they work wonders
it says the update messed with auto updates
and fixing the modinstaller is harder than you might think
yea its hard but is it really impossible to fix that or were they not focused on that
the installer got another update, thus resulting in this again
well we are busy with getting to 1.5 first, plus a new installer is being made
the pin saying modinst 1 implies the second is already done, is there a third or was the second in like alpha/beta
There's two, the only Realdifference is the UI
and cross-platform support
well half
still needs different files
Please let's not overcomplicate it
This is why people get confused.
Just be plain instead of pedantic
complicated fun 
well if you never teach people then they will never learn
anyways this is going nowhere bye
The mod loader won't download, it says that it needs to be on the most resent version to run. What should I do?

Hey! TWP made this skin a year ago, the description says it is private and a challenge will be done, is there a way to get this skin nowadays? https://youtu.be/-Rdu37EiRJ4
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

Plus, will there be any new challenges by TWP?

They will probably appear in mod installer after getting them
oooh really?
Yeah
a lot of background stuff that makes the modding api not work
but for the normal player, nothing major
Yeah, the biggest thing they changed was nail art damage and I think they reverted it in the most recent update to 1.5
well i downpatched
it worked
none of the mods i downloaded outside of the installer appeared in the installer
What did you download
the decoration master thing and the impossible any% one
Impossible any% won’t show up since it’s a bunch of map edits for decoration master. Are you sure decoration master doesn’t show up
ill check again but i dont think so
Are you using mod installer or mod installer 2
Ok
So scrolling down to where mods start with D (it’s alphabetical) doesn’t show decoration master?

First pinned message
Oh thanks
if mod installer still doesn’t work after then delete both and reinstall the game with the down patch first
then reinstall the mod installer
that always works for me
the mod installer won't boot up at all for some reason, or like pops up for a couple moments then closes itself?
hi, im new
i didn´t buy the game because i don´t have enough money but i downloaded it from google
can i use the mods?
how do you use custom knight?
like, i have the skins and all that in the right folder, but it won;t let me switch off default
you have to click on them iirc
wdym?
the skins should have names on the pause menu, you have to click on them with the mouse? I think? I'm trying to get it to work again in the first place so i don't remember exactly
they are, but when i click on them nothing actually happens
the knight flashes white for a second and stops
uninstalling and reinstalling got the installer to work again
i tried that
do you already have custom knight installed
oh no i cant get the mod installer to work
i actually don't understand what is going on
i think ive figured it out
my friend what's to use my seed in rando how do we do that sorry if dumb or silly i am new
either you don't have modcommon installed or your skin folders are organized incorrectly
make sure the skin folder opens directly to images, not to another folder
ok im having issues due to something about not being able to access the autoupdater???
or something
it's just closing every time I try to boot the modinstaller
it is a number mod uses to make things random. I think you can leave it empty. It is used to play on a spesific random map and item placement.
How do i activate the ascii camera mod?
its not giving me the error message about the folder not loading fast enough so it should be ok now
i seriously need actual help here
Are you on hk ver 1.4.3.2?
yeah
Does anything pop up before it closes?
Huh
That’s weird
Hmmmmm
I don’t know how to help, sorry
Never happened to me before
apparently it shows a "microsoft .net framework" and the downloading window but it closes instantly
thats unfortunate
Can you give screenshots
so the mod installer is working for me, but the game doesnt have english
i have a video but i need to crop it first
ok ignore the watermark, i just needed to make sure personal files weren't visible
this should display what happens every time i try to boot it
You're using Windows right?
yea
Ok hold shift and right click the folder then click "Open with PowerShell"
that option isn't showing up
Oh
Press 🪟 + R
Then type "cmd" and hit enter
Then type "cd" followed by the folder path the ModInstaller is in
Then type "./" followed by the installer filename
it still isn't working somehow
Idk then
i can't exactly boot it up so i can't press the 'revert to unmodded' button
Go to the game's properties on Steam then select "Verify Integrity of Game Files"
i did that
im gonna try something stupid and just have the game open when i try to boot the modinstaller
still didn't work
What's the problem?
oh nvm
3rd pinned message
you probably installed arts mod
I'm not certain but I believe the seed will be in the spoiler/helper log, you can find it in your save files. If it is, just give it to your friend and they can type it into the "Seed" section when starting a new rando

my hollow knight skin mod isn't working, the mod is there anymore when I select the skin knight blinks and doesn't change sorry if I'm wrong (google translate)

Make sure you have mod common, and if you do then send a screenshot of your custom knight folder and the inside of the skin folder
the health bar is default tho\
Then they probably just took the knight sheet of pure vessel
calm down, i'll send the other one
inside the skins folder there is this
@native ice
hold on
ok :)
That all looks right, so make sure you have ModCommon installed and enabled, and when you try and change skins do it in a small room like a Stag Station and give it a little bit after clicking it. Also what mods do you have installed as some of em might be causing problems
uh what
I didn't have modcommon installed haha, I'll see if it works.
this is the skin he uses
idk chinese so idk what that says
so its not pure vessel
stupid question - how do i manipulate geo with debug mod?
so far google-fu is not helping me
I don't know if that's an option, you can save edit with qol tho
damn, thanks
or without qol but using qol means you can directly edit the file
what skin is thissssss???
Some random translator says that it's a "New Folder", so it was probably manually changed
oof
Again tho, it looks like pure vessel
If you want the top one it's almost definitely pure vessel
wait nvm
I just realized those are 3 different skins
so yea
that text is just a stray folder in his customknight folder
seems like pure vessel doesnt have a custom hp bar
..
so i waisted so much time
looking for the one and it was just pure vessel
well I told you that at the very start
when i try to download some of the mods in mod installer, i get this error. how can i fix this? (example is trying to install custom knight)
Make sure your installer is on your desktop, run it as administrator, and navigate to your mods folder and unzip all the items in there and make sure it's just the plan dll directlyi n the mods folder
thanks, its working now!

Something weird is going on with my save. The damage in debug mod is shown as 20, which I don't think should be a possible value. But in the save file's json the damage is 13.

omg yes. Sorry for wasting your time
Notice that the "Flat #" was the damage without charms

Uh from memory: Pale prince (pv buff), pale champion (pale lurker buff), daughter of hallownest (hornet 2 buff), crystal blobbles (oblobbles buff, doesn't work at he same time as pale champion), life blood master (hive knight), buzzbo (also hive knight), uuwuu (uumuu, requires a different version of frog core or somethin), mantis gods (mantis lords, stack with tribe of battle for pain), and I think that's all but I'm probably missing one
No, but there's hall of gods or you can use a mix of debug and benchwarp to get to bosses instantly in new saves
also how ppl install anyrad?
There's a download in the pins of this channel
Here, and then just put the dll in your mods folder
ohh okay
Have fun, vls :)
Make sure you downpatch, make sure your installer is on your desktop, and make sure you run it as administrator
i mean not gonna try anyrad nowhere soon but just curious for later lmao, but probably gonna try now pale prince or pale champion
OMG why couldn't I get this simple message the first time I tried. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I've never touched those mods but their readme doesn't really mention anything of the likes
https://github.com/homothetyhk/HollowKnight.plandoplando/blob/master/Readme.md
Here's the readmes if you wanna see for yourself or see if maybe I'm just dumb
https://github.com/homothetyhk/HollowKnight.ItemChanger/blob/master/Readme.md
Can I ask what your goal is?
Oh wait, I think you might be able to use decoration master to spawn enemies tho I'm not certain
I'm not certain if it places enemies, but it for certain can place hazards wherever so worth a shot. Incase you don't know the link to install it is in the google doc filled with readmes, under the "Other mods (not on the installer)" section.
Click the "Download here" for the actual mod, and the name of the mod for the readme
It's in the pins if you haven't already found it, and yea it's very convenient
Next time a mod causes a crash, be sure to send output.log or (player.log for 1.5) with the message, as that give more info. Be sure to edit the file to remove your steam name, or if gog you real name so you don't get doxxed!
ok thank u

I'm still impressed by that thumbnail, its amazing
Oh damn, yes it is.
whenever I use mods the game just wont load anything in and i cant play dunno hy this happening ive used mods for months and only happens now ive deleted and reinstalled and everything
There's a fix in the pins
k lemme check
Here
ok thanks i didnt see that
I believe it's in game
i think you press caps lock to toggle it
atleast i think thats what the readme said
you have to enable edit mode in globalsettings
assuming you know where globalsettings are, thats pretty ez
screenshot your globalsettings file
actually no
theres no reason for me to explain
a yt vid already exists
i'll link that
Before you do that, their main question was if they can place enemies/bosses using deco master, is that an option because I'm not certain
enemies and bosses not i think
ah unfortunate
but it has been long since i used it
although i think? the project has been abandonned
no, but i think thats for placing items, not enemies
you can get customtrial to get all enemies and bosses in colo 3
i have no idea
but not as far as i know
your best guess is plando
and your for sure is customtrial
Hi all, nub question here - Is the remedy for "This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again" to switch Hollowknight to a beta version?
You need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2
I'm trying to reconfirm the path location that the modinstaller requested when it was first ran, but I can't find where it stored the path to change it or confirm it
This is the guide
#archived-modding-help message Do the second part about resetting modinstaller
Thanks JeckBeck!
Np
preload can be anything you can ever dream of
give me an enemy name and i'll find the right GO name
@shrewd prism for visibility^
k
"Room_Final_Boss_Core" orig scene name
"Hollow Knight Boss" orig GameObject name
a game object isn't a file name
i can teach you how to find them ye
i'll make a little guide and send it you via dm's
Scene names are case sensitive
That should be "Fungus" not all caps
oh well i see you've figured out the scene names already
i'll just see if i can get mulhima to send me a 1.4 debug with GO dump
orig is the scene the boss is in
so, you can find thk in Room_Final_Boss_Core
and the name of its GameObject is Hollow Knight Boss
well mulhima is not giving me a 1.4 release of debug with GO dump, so you'll have to use the GO dump pinned in #archived-modding-development
Scenes.rar and GG_Scenes.zip
scenes for normal and GG_Scenes for godhome
Is it the name that appears in the enemy panel in debug?
yeah, but its easier to get the scene dump, as you can copy it and you can also for example get background object, individual firebats and much more
did you define the scene you want them in?
and to x and y so they don't fall to the void?
did you click add?
im watching the fireborn custom knight does it work for mac
what did you set as coordinates?
becuase im having difficulties
what difficulties
it doesnt want to open like in the video
where did you get to?
i just get this
its so weird
i hv the unarchiver app
that always opens when i download it
download what
the mod instller
you can get the modinstaller for mac in the pins
ok
Why are you using depot downloader?
because im using mac and the pins says to download the depot downloader
The pins say to downpatch using steam betas/gog galaxy stuff which is much easier, the depot downloader is part of a section that's for if those much easier methods don't work somehow, which they should
Also from your earlier messages, if you're trying to download the installer you need to scroll further down (yes, you do need to downpatch but that's not the installer)
does custom knight work for mac?
How do I get the white palace map with the additional maps mod?
It is in the king's workshop at the end of white palace
Yes, all mods on the installer should work for Mac
for some reason it doesnt work but its fine
Thanks a lot

Hi yall
So uh, I'm kinda lost, I previously used the modinstaller to play with mods, wanted to try again and the modinstaller didn't open, So I came here, followed all the instructions on the latest pinned message (Went back to the previous 1.4.3.2 version of Hollow Knight, and re-downloaded modinstaller from the website, Deleted the assembly csharp files and used the verify integrity option on steam), But it still won't open and just re-creates the AU file again.
What step am I not doing correctly?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Oookay, yeah that seems to be working lol, thanks! The issue was that I was just downloading it from Nexus mods (I suppose?)

what does speedrun mod do?
afaik it re enables quite a lot of 1221 speedrun related stuff in 1.4.3.2 hk

There is not, but you can download a save file from speedrun.com.
You can potentially also save edit.

maybe get advice from art
i mean its a simple one so i just need stuff like how to use the image editing program and where to find the right files which are like separated and named
ok nvm it worked
First time trying mods out, can anyone explain where to find this ModLog.txt
You need vasi
Ah thanks
?saves head to your saves folder listed below and drop it there. It will be named "user1.dat". You can change the number to be 1-4 to put it in whichever save slot you want

How do i get the randomizer to work? i put the folders in the mod folder but when i open it its regular hollow knight
So, I'm trying to download randomizers and custom skins, and I checked the pins for instructions and what to download, but I am incredibly confused and don't know where to start. Is there a guide or something I should initially do to make everything easier?
What folders? The fact that you put folders is already wrong lol
You should really just use one of the Mod Installers
- Check the first pinned message to find out how to revert hollow knight to patch 1.4.3.2.
- Download the mod installer. (See below.)
- Download (and enable) Randomiser 3, QoL, Benchwarp, Randomapmod, Mod Common, Vasi, SFCore, and Serecore.
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

Is there a mod that allows you to redo path of pain? I wanna get good at it so I can flex on my friends :3
QoL mod reopens the path
Oh, neat, thanks
Does it do that automatically or do I have to turn it on manually in the file thingy?
It's on by default in QoL mod

yes

Is there a hotkey for the debug mod? I hid the menu and now I can't bring it back.
Thank you!
So, I'm on Mac and I recently tried switching to the 1.5 patch to see if any of the mods worked. I followed the instructions posted on Steam by Team Cherry and got the game to open, found that the mods don't work, and switched back to 1.4.3.2. I've verified the integrity of game files and made sure all my mods are up-to-date on Modinstaller2.
My problem now is that all of my Custom Knight skins don't show up in the in-game menu. I can still see the Custom Knight GUI, it just has no skins. When I go to the steamapps/common/Hollow Knight folder and choose "show package contents" on the hollow_knight application, I can see the skins in Contents/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight, so the files have not been deleted. All of my other mods seem to work fine.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Where are those?
Where are they on Windows? I might be able to figure out what the equivalent on Mac is
my mod installer wont open pls help
i tried to ping dandie lol
3rd pin
Will anything bad happen to my original file if I use mods? I want to keep my first one fully vanilla
Found it! They're in Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Mods
if you don't load the save nothing will happen to it

Heyo, I was wondering if anyone could help me get the rando map mod working? I have done a few randos without it, but I would love to start using it.
Issue is, when I use the mod loader to add the mod, I get the pause menu UI that shows how many of each thing you've collected, but I can't get the hot keys or talking to elder bug to display the map pins or give me the map charms.
Anyone run into this before or have any ideas?
I did goto the git hub and manually replace the .dll with the newest version, no dice.
PS, I'm on windows 10
the mod installer says I need the most recent stable version to run, what does that mean? I have the most recent version of hk too
you need to enable the beta to run the last version. the moddin api isn't able to do new patch yet
there is a message about how to do that in the pinned messages at the top
ok thanks
no problem 😄
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
can someone help me with the online mod
i have hamachi with a friend and connected but cant see eachother
.
Have you tried the version from the mod installer?
That is what I was trying first, after that didn't work I tried manually downloading the dll
neither worked for me
Does Randomapmod appear in the top left of your main menu?
it does
And you've tried talking to Elderbug?
I have, I started a rando in kings pass and went straight to him, talked to him 3 times, nothing, talked to him another few times, nothing
When you entered Dirtmouth did it say "Free Maps" or "Elderbug is a cool dude"?
the thing that really gets me is that it does have the mod in the top left, and again on the pause menu it has the item bubbles
"elderbug is a cool dude"
That sounds like it's not working properly. Have you restarted and tried again?
Wait, which version of Randomiser are you using, the version that's on the mod installer?
I did a few times while troubleshooting, I even tried uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it
rando mod v 3.0 I think, the one in the modinstaller ye
That's odd, it should literally just work.
If you head over to #randomizer and check the pinned messages, there's a link to another discord server where more Rando stuff is posted. Head to that server, then check the Randomiser section of that server for the latest Randomiser and latest Randomapmod. Copy both of those into your mods folder (replacing your Randomiser 3 and Randomapmod already in there). The newer version has a feature where you can just press ctrl+m to get all maps and activate the mod.
Then ask in there if that doesn't work (or if you're struggling to find them at all.)
I'll go try that and I'll let you know how it goes, Thanks for the help
so as I was chatting with you I reuninstalled it, and re reinstalled it, and that did the trick
dunno what changed, but it's working now XD
thanks again though!
after that I was gonna head to #randomizer but I guess I don't need to now
No problem. I still suggest that server if you're enjoying Rando. There's additional changed posted like every other week, so there's tonnes of features you probably don't have currently you could try out.
I'll still check it out for sure

What does the game gets revert after Changing to the older version mean?
This is late, but re:RandoMapMod
It doesn't work on the first launch of the new version. You need to launch the game, then quit, and launch the game again.
It creates a file when you launch it, but needs to relaunch to see the file for some reason.
which mod on the hk google drive allows me to use randomizers?
I was wondering where i put my knight skin for custom knight, as i looked up a guide which told me to go to the managed folder, but when i go there, its empty.

ok because I am new to mods I want to ask a stupid question, If I download for example ultimatum radiance where can I find it? does it just replace the normal boss?
It replaces the hall of gods statue iirc
some of em can spawn in their real world locations, but usually going to hall of gods is your best choice
Does the mod pack simply get integrated into a current file or do i have to make a new one?
What mod pack? Do you mean the mods you install using the installer or?
ah ok
Oh, i see
hey is there a randomizer that can randomize items and bosses only? like I dont want bosses showing up as enemies, just shuffled around to different boss rooms?
To randomise items you want Randomiser 3.
I don't believe what you're asking for boss wise is a function in enemy Rando
nice fail tho
does the installer run on 1.5 or do I have to get a later version still?
cool thanks
@limber egret ah bummer thanks anyways! maybe ill try some coliseum randomizers instead
Hi, does anyone know if Hollow Point and CustomKnight are incompatible? I've been using customknight with the rando and it's been fine but adding hollow point seems to make it no longer use skins. Instead when I click on a skin it just makes the list go away
Oh ok, that stinks but at least it's not something I did wrong. Thanks!!
Load the game with HollowPoint, then click the skin that you want in CustomKnight.
Then Save and Quit.
Then close, and restart Hollow Knight completely.
When I use save states in HK my knight start flying. Does anyone knows why?
@gloomy coral for tomorrow when you're online again^
Where is the State that you're loading?
And when are you loading it?
Yeah I tried it by the elevator but still went flying
I think it might do that sometimes when you reload a state mid-death animation too
Heck, the Elevetaor might be causing it lol
oh that makes sens
modlog?
thanks guys I'll try see if it works
idk what info it could give but better save then sorry
no way I think it was everything combined or sum
wich randomizer is Item Rando?
it works!!!
elevator 🥴
randomizer 3
thank you
thanks again @fair briar and @pliant lantern
hey guys custom knight is just bringing up white boxes?
Do you have mod common?
yes
Try restarting HK, and then changing skins in a small room (like a stag station)
Try only changing skins in a small room, like a stag room, and make sure you're giving it enough time to load
file structure 
wait... how much Saves do the MoreSaves mod put in?
I don't think File Structure normally causes the white boxes, does it?
Infinite
nice, thank you
int limit prob
uuuuh what is the Benchwarp mod?
(sorry for all the Questions, I am compleatly new in modding Hollow Knight
It allows you to warp between benches using a UI in the pause menu
oooh, ok, thank you
I tried this a few times and it still doesn’t work
Are you using the current CustomKnight from ModInstaller?
Yes I am
Did you disable preloaded skins or something?
Nope. And it works immediately again if I remove Hollow Point
Well yeah
HollowPoint doesn't normally work with any skins
The recent CK updates do soemthing that usualyl gets around HP not working with them, but it seems like that's not working for you for some reason
In that case, there's not really much else to do
very weird. I have to get ready for streaming now but I'll look more into it later and see what I can find that may be stopping that from working. I appreciate the help!
is there a step by step guide of setting up the randomizer
preferably video but text works
wait i found releyas is that good
or is there a better one
is there a modloader for current patch yet?
for me to downpatch in GOG, do i really need to like, buy hollow knight in GOG again even if i already have it on steam?
because on the fireborn tutorial he said to select the GOG version, not the ssteam one
What?
Are you on Steam or GoG?
Check the top pin 
No
dang
on GOG, but i got the game there from steam, i linked the accounts, but when i try to configure it i cant select the patches
You'll have to do the Downpatch in Steam then
like, if you're using GOG to launch, but have the game in Steam
then you need to use Steam to change patches
k thx
Won't help
Cuz it's some type of stupid storage because 🍝
Happens also when you load save state on bench which gives bench storage
I was thinking about messing up some sprites
But where is the file with the sprites?
Anyone can help?
Is the SpriteShapeModule?
If yes, what of the two and i use what to open DLL?
Hello?
i made a new save slot but keep getting soft locked at the start.
does this still apply
oh whoops sorry for the ping
ok so i just need to go down a version. ty
A. Define "Softlocked"
B. What mods are you using?
You can't just open the sprites up and close them. You either need to rip them (using GoDump), or get them fromth e pins in the art channels. If you want to see them in-game, you'll need to use another mod to replace them.
wait it says i need to type in a beta acess code
If this is your response to B. , then there's not much I can do to help.
You probably need Vasi though.
No it doesn't.
oh ok
A different prompt says that.
theres an error with downloading vasi.
