the modinstaller is has not found my hollow knight installation path, and i cant access it trough the find your path menu for some reason, what do i do now?
This is a link to the most current version of Rando:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/873610292687429672/RandomizerMod3.0.dll
Rando Updates happen on the Speedrunning server, which is linked in #randomizer pins 
The one on Modinstaller is good, but it's a few updates behind rn.
You do want to make sure you use RandomizerMod3.0 though, not 2 (2 is old and outdated)
Where did you get HK from?
steam
hey um. now i cant even load the main screen
Move Mod Installer out of your downloads folder, and run it as Admin
and make sure that this folder is where you're looking:
If you have a lot of mods, then you may have conflicting ones.
Did you make sure that there were no more .zip folders in your Mods folder?
its unable to download. but what i know is that i cant find the vasi file
how do i download modinstaller
thanks
np
Did you read the message I linked you?
im having a problem where modintaller says that my steam file of hollow knight is not up to date, is this a common problem?
Ah, this just happened to me. I was coming here to ask if anyone knows why its happening.
steam says that it is fully updated
hmm. well where do i find the vasi.zip cause i cant find it.
It should be in your Mods folder

Quick questko is
Lets say i wanna play on the most recent patch for a bit
Will my mods break or will i just not be able to use them
excuse me but isnt it supposed to be automatic instead of me having to find an installation path
have a nice one everybody!
Mods won't work. If you accidentally open Mod Installer while on 1.5, HK will crash on not open until you Verify Integrity
i dont know where the hollow knight installation path is
is there like a list off all the kinght skins for the custum knight mod? because i can acess the images trough my google drive and i dont want to install every single zip file to view the skins
What type of cheating
Move Mod Installer to your Desktop, then try again
kk
kinda like invincebility give yourself Items etc.
Debug Mod.
Pause the game and press F1 to use it after it's installed.
thank you
it still doesnt locate
Not currently. There's a few projects that may help with that soon tthough. For now, look up YouTube Showcase vids
What version of HK do you have? (Where did you get it?)
i recently installed it on pc
and i got it on steam
i already had it on ps4 but i installed it on pc
so i could mod it
This will open the folder that you need to point The installer to
ok thanks
i found one by fireborn, thx
Jow do i set up custom skins
how do you manually install vasi
If i were to stream my suffering trying to mod would someone come help-
i cannot even find it through here because this is different from file exploler
explorer
hello, I am trying to install the mod installer, but when i try to open the file, it says that needs a update, and I already the update
no matter how many times i click "enable modding api", it always reverts back to vanilla
The path is the same. Starts at "This PC"
That's mine, for example
Follow the "If Mods Still Aren't Working" link in the first pin 
I verified integrity and thats how it broke
Here's a copy of it. Otherwise, you can find it in the GDrive in the pins.
Normally if you have that issue though, it means that you do have Vasi, it's just stuck in a .zip
There's multiple steps. Follow them one at a time, and dont' open HK or Mod Installer until it tells you to
alright thanks
Im in the vc and im planning to stream myself attempting to mod and failing, can someone watch and help
im struggling so hard with file paths
i dont know where to find hollow knight
i tried looking through this pc
tho desktop wont open
Desktop doesn't have any folders, that's why
This PC is your root folder
Steam's browse button showed you exactly which folder it's in, and the bar at the top has the entire path, one folder at a time
you just have to follow those folders
Mmm i feel ignored and i really need help. like someone to watch me and walk me through what i have to do
If you want help, post Screenshots and use words
I'm not joining your stream lol
it worked! thanks!
wait so how do i update it to the most recent stable version
Read the first pin
The Stable Modding version isn't the same as the current game version right now
i have a tough question, can i, someway, use mods in console?
not even using a external program in the HD or something?
Only the Steam and GoG versions work with mods
ok
hey I'm new here. was told to come here for modding help
trying to install the Hollowpoint mod
How to uninstall the Installer?

I have no experience installing mods, and the site said something about the official hollow knight discord having some kind of mod installer?

There is a Vibration mod for 1432
But also, there's currently no ETA on 1.5 mods being the standard
It's on mod installer
ohhh
how can I uninstall Mod Installer?

It never installs, so... You don't
It is just a simple program that moves files

You might prefer Mod Installer 2:

Excuse me, does anyone know where I could find the ModInstaller?
does I need to delete these after deleting Mod Installer 1?
It comes up with "This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch then try again."
please help?
quick question, me and my friend are trying to play together, and we are in the same room. he has a hamachi server up and i joined his IP. we both have the multiplayer mod installed, and he also has the multiplayer server mod installed in addition. ive put in the IP of his hamachi server, but when i put it in and click connect, i dont seem to be joining his server as i cant see him

The Multiplayer Mod that's on Mod installer is pretty old, and not being used as much anymore.
Here's a guide to using the newer one:

You need to change to the 1.4.3.2 version of the game
Hello! I am new here and i just downloaded the mod installer for windows. When i open it, it just crashes immediately.
hi! i'm kinda new to modding, and i'm getting this error when i try opening ModInstaller (Im using hollow knight 1.4.3.2 from steam)
✨mod installer wont open✨
?i Try downloading it from this link
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
make sure your installer is on your desktop and that you run it as administrator
What os are you on

Depends what you're trying to accomplish
Then try the 3rd pinned message
this one #archived-modding-help message
will do, thanks!
i downloaded the modinstaller for mac thats in the pins
but i cant open it becaue it says i cant open it because the developer is not verified
tysm
I tried, it gave the same error
when i open the mod instllaer it closes instantly
which rando do i download? im assuming 3, but does it need 2 to function?
Then reset your installer using these instructions: #archived-modding-help message
And then make sure you path the installer to the correct location
Yea 3, if you want enemies randomized there's a separate mod for that
cool
Right click the installer, select "Open Package Contents", search for an application in the folder that opens, and then move that application to the desktop and run that
What things does the qol mod do
Is there a way to install a 112% game file? I already beat the game on my switch, and as good of a game as it is, 112%’ing it again isn’t exactly appealing atm 😅
Quality of life stuff as the name suggests, i.e. text moves faster, intro cutscenes are skipped or quicker, some glitches that are used for speedrunning are restord (lever skips, inventory dropping, etc.), and some other things. If you want to disable any of these features or see a list you can navigate to the globalsettings file located with your save files
that actually worked, thanks! (and sorry for the bad english, i'm from Argentina)
Yes, there is. Give me a moment i have to find the link
Cool!
Scroll down a bit
And do you know how to access your save files to put it in?
No
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
How do i find the globalsettings file
I dont see it
I wanna disable inventorh dropping
Run the game with qol installed once, then it'll show up in your save files (different from your game files), the path to which can be found above
So just to clarify I want to put the file in the hollow knight folder, yes?
open the json one, if it's not letting you open it it's probably because the pc doesnt know what to open it with, right click the file, select "Open with" and choose to open it with notepad
If that's where the other saves are (Should look like Userx.dat) then yes

Ahok
how do u install the various skins for cutom knight on mac
Second pinned message
only difference between mac and windows would be file path
For some reason I can’t find any game file when searching 🤔
Press Windows + R on your keyboard and paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ then click "Ok"
Ok so I just need to put the 112 save here correct?
Lastly, when downloading the 112 file, it downloads as a zip, and opening the zip reveals multiple files, each with their own .dat file. Do you know which file is correct or should it not matter / I wing it?
pretty sure each one correlates to a certain point in progression
Hopefully i'm putting this in the correct channel but when i open the mod installer it says that I need to update to the current, most sable update. Iv'e looked it up but i cant find a way to update the game. By chance does anybody know how?
Hello. First time modding HK. I downloaded the modinstaller, enabled some of the mods, and now my game crashes every time I try to open from Steam

Make sure you have modcommon, vasi, serecore, and sfcore, then just don't uninstall those because theydon't do much but make other mods work properly
is there a place i download them?
from the installer
hollow point won't fire bullets :(
can't use the gun
adrenaline meter also won't charge
Happens to me when I first start a game, relaunching and goin back in the save should fix it
Oh nice it worked thanks

im trying to install the gravity mod but nothing happens when i drop the .dll into the mod folder
you have to use the mod installer @tame sundial
a link to download it is in the abt of this chat
Not necessarily no
the radiance one?
you don't have to?
gravity isnt on it
Is the game closed and do you have the api installed
i do have it installed
do i put the mod in the api or next to it in the mods folder
Uh.. those should be the same place and neither
Oh wait
no in the mods folder misread
is there a link to the api?
But what exactly is the problem? You put it in the mods folder and it's not showing up in the top left of the main menu
i think i got the wrong one
i was trying to install the mod installer why is this happening i have the most resent version installed, is there a patch i need to install?

go to properties, beta, and install 1.4 on steam
That's not what I asked, does the name of the mod show up in the top left of the main menu?
no it doesnt
does the modding api show up there?
the radiance host one is the same as whatever other one you're talking about
So, you put the mods dll directly in the mods folder?
yes
And was the game closed when you put it in the folder?
yes
seems to work fine for me, screenshot your mods folder and your main menu please
this is what happend when i did what firborn did
What's the question??
i cant find the mods file
im usinga shitty old computer that wont let me screenshot, its fine thats the only mod that doesnt work
hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\Mods\
That mod isn't for 1432 I don't think.
I think it's a 1.5 mod
The one they sent works fine on 1.4.3.2, I just downloaded it and tested it
Ah, nevermind then
I saw someone else post it recent (sfg I think?) and it was the 1.5 one
They got it from an old video so that's probably why
hello! i've seen several people using an updated version of the randomizer mod; how would i update to that? usually modinstaller prompts for updates, but that hasn't happened
me and a friend just bought the steam version and know nothing about modding how do i get something like co op setup

yes it closes instantly
and a message pops up saying hollow knight closed unexpectadly

...
Using steam and using a controller aren't mutually exclusive
Are you using a controller?
nop keyboard
Mac?
The guide should cover that
where
yes
Then I think you need the steam forum post from
linked in the first pinned message. Tho I'm not certain
its ok
Do mods such as Custom Knight mess with my data? Or is it even likely to harm the data?

Hi, I'm trying to install mods however the ModInstaller application continues to say I don't own the game. The game is installed on my steam account, I own it, and I have executed it before on this computer. I have however not installed the game on the default directory and installed it one of my other 1tb HDDs is that a problem?
are you on 1.4?
Of hollow knight?
yeah
1.4.3.2 is a option if I go into the beta settings for the game, is that what I should switch to?
yes
Right the games just updating quickly, thank you
np
how do you go to the beta settings
right click on the game, go to properties then betas is one of the options
thanks
np
Also just a question, why does ModInstaller not support later versions?
Ah okay
im pretty sure its just because its released and they need to update the installer
My ModInstaller still asks me to purchase the game
hmmmm
dont know then sorry
No worries, maybe someone else can help if they see my messages 😛
tysm
reset the installer, there’s a guide in the pins
Well a import question first
Should my ModInstaller executable be located in my HK directory?
I answered that myself, moving it there fixed it
thank you both for helping
but it shouldn't be
desktop is the best place
i assume you moved it out of your downloads folder which probably fixed it
I moved it from my downloads folder into my HK folder
I don't see why it being in my downloads makes it an issue
because the downloads folder has restricted permissions
Right, then I'll keep it somewhere else. Should it not be in my HK install directory?
i mean it probably can be but that's just inconvenient, desktop is the best place, folder on the desktop is fine
Alright I'm just currently reinstalling my game because I somehow broke it again
hey, i am trying to do a randomizer but the map mod i have doesnt work and i cant figure out why
on the game it has this but idk what it means
where do i dint the ModLog.txt

thank you
Thanks but what exactly am i looking for in the file
Also before you sent it, in uninstalled and reinstalled the game and reinstalled the mods, now the randomizer isnt working, normally it says to load it on the title screen, not it isnt
What do i do
I'm playing with these mods, however you can now focus even if your full hp. Is this a mod causing this?
If you ever had hollowpoint that's the cause
I have never installed that no
For enemy rando, from the title screen, open the options menu, and in the mods tab switch enemy rando off then back on then restart the game. For the map mod, make sure you have all the basic dependencies since I'm not sure which one it requires, install vasi, serecore, modcommon, and sfcore
Well it's probably the same fix anyways
Which is how?
thats the thing, in the mods menu on hollow knight it doesnt show up
but it says its installed
This
The button isn't there, but does it say it's there in the top left corner?
becnhwarp fix in pins
yea, it says its installed in the top left, but no button to turn it on
it says this on the title screen
but says this in mods
ok
actually wait, you don't even have enemy rando, that's the one with the button
Followed those steps but it's still a problem
wait, do i need rando 3 and enemy rando?
There's several different sets of instructions to do the same thing, try some of those
I've tried both already 🤣
The one that creates a button in the top left is enemy randomizer, if you want enemies to be randomized then you need that mod
"both" there's 4 methods
I've already installed QoL mod and uninstalled it because I thought it was the thing causing this, and I don't see how save editing is going to fix a bug in the code somewhere
I've manually copied the dll to the Mods directory, as well as extracted the zip and executed that bat script
Qol mod doesn't cause it, save editing does fix it because that's literally where the cost of soul focusing is saved, and sometimes the dll doesn't work
But if that's not causing it then I'm not certain
Focusing at full HP is part of the vanilla game.
I'm confused as to what the problem is
Cost of soul focusing is causing max hp to break?
Do you always get the exact same effect even if your at full hp??
Yes
Yea, you can focus at full hp in vanilla..
My previous save has got like 100 hours and I've never noticed that your joking
My bad guys 😐
When healing, you stop focusing once it's full. But if you press again, you can "waste" your soul to heal more
That's used with certain charms
Like Dreamshield, and Spore Shroom
I don't know how i misread that lmao
Thank you both for the trouble 🤣

It happens
Especially confusing when it sounds very similar to a common problem
And a lot of people don't explain their actual problems well
It's just habit to always look at my hp during a fight so i can tell if I need to heal the next break or not
So apparently for the entirety of my last run I have never wasted any soul healing when I didn't need to so that felt really strange when I started this new run with mods
Quickly i just wana say thanks as everything is working now
i can't seem to use the "all charms" cheat in my new save, trying to test something out
Do you have moresaves?
yeah
That can mess with debug mod
Remove it, just having it breaks it
Any save you made on slots 5+ will still be there when you uninstall/reinstall moresaves, just won’t be able to access em without it and I can’t guarantee your save won’t get damaged

nope everything will be the same
only thing is that Some Glitches or Bugs will be more happen, but not much more than normaly on 1.15

sorry, never done this before
All ok
I promise that's the last thing, so now i copy and save these files and all should be okay
yes, but normaly you only need to Coppy the user1, user2, user3 and user4 files, the other ones aren't that Important to Copy, but to be save you can copy the compleatly folder to an Place on your Desktop where you want
now, I tried downpatching HK (yes with the new method, I have it on steam) but every time I try to downpatch it (checked in the console multiple times, manifest is correct, username is correct, password is correct) it says invalid password
It's all working, thanks a lot!
Every Time
If your password has special characters sometimes that can cause this issue.
yep had to change it
I think it was the space in it
anyways
now I have a new issue
because rate limit exceeded :/
Finally
When i run the Modinstaller and enable the moding API then i try to run Hollow Knight and it craches.
I reset the ModIntaller and deleted all the mods and tried verifying the game files thru steam and it still crashes.
I didn't have any mods enabled or installed.
Does somebody know how can i fix this?
If you want your game to run properly then delete Assembly-CSharp.dll and verify the files again. Your game also needs to be on version 1.4.3.2 for mods to work. Check the pinned messages

Ok tnx
I just downloaded hollow knight on steam and wanted to try a randomizer but whenever I try to download the mod installer it says that i do not have the current version of the game. What do i do?

I installed the debug mod but dont have save stats. might be because I dumb
I'm also just wondering why when I downloaded the mod installer and started hollow knight is was in a different language and when i try to switch it there is no english
Did you get debug mod from the mod installer?
You should check what mods do before you download them, most likely. You have Art Mod
oh thanks
from the drive ughs, i just used the link in fire's setup guide
I have the 1.3.3
nvm
If you get the version from the mod installer then you'll have save states for sure.

Hi, I've been following a video on installing mods by Culfy, from March of this year. I'm not sure if you know of this video, or how good or bad it may be. Anyway, I've followed their video the whole way through, and when I launch HK, in the top left it says Modding Api, but no other mods, despite the fact that I installed and enabled debug mod. Do you know why this may be the case? I haven't been able to get any other mods to work either.
how does the point gun mod work? because when i downloaded it, yes i have the gun, but its like a shotgun and it does not do damage at all, and i dont know how to change it
Hi, when i log out from the game and come back in, items arent randomized anymore, it goes back to normal, does anyone know how to fix this?
the gun is always broken when u start a new playtrough, i think you have to relog for it to work properly
rando map mod isn't working at all any help?
hello?
I can't ctrl m for the maps or speak to elder bug for them.
any help at all?
wassup, is there a way to get the tanjiro (demon slayer) skin mod to work on current patch?
Hey, I was speed running and this happened, could this have to do with mods at all?
can't help you
No
Mod installer isnt on it yet
if I need help on a part in a modded map should I ask here?
maybe in #modding-discussion or #archived-modding-development
most likely the latter
hey, i tried following the instructions in the pinned section for installing mods w/ the new update n stuff but for some reason whenever i boot up the game and open the mod menu in options, there are no mods in it and it wont let me exit back to the main menu, anyone got a fix?
Try first pin
^
Screenshot main menu
now this may sound very dumb, I hope it doesn't, but since HK is in fullscreen, and windowed was introduced in the newest version while I'm in the 1.2.2.1, LiveSplit is always below Hollow Knight. Can I have it above HK somehow? 😅
Hey, can I get some help? I was just wondering why the mods weren't working. I have the installer and the mods installed. But when I open HK, it doesn't work.

It should work. Is it still not showing up?
Where did you get debug mod from? The mod installer or somewhere else?
Still just shows mod api, no actualt mods
Did you get debug from the mod installer? At this point I'd just suggest deleting it and reinstalling it.
yes got it from the mod installer. I'll try to start over and see if i can get it to work
Just the debug mod, the rest should be fine
Maybe also just get rid of press G to dab until you can get it working
yeah i was just testing mods in hopes one would work lol
could you list what mods I need to install the first time?
hey still not getting the rando map mod to work
anyone know a solution
I want to unlock the whole map cause im doing a randomizer
You need mod common, Vasi, SFcore, and Serecore. That should cover everything.
And the modding API (obviously) and then your debug mod.
Where did you get the map mod from?
Actually somebody said above that you need to open your file, then quit out completely (close the game) and it should work on a restart
Speaking of maps, I know there is a .xcf somewhere with each room on a different layer for easily setting up maps of a rando room. My hard drive that had a copy of that file melted, and I can't find it again. Anyone recognize or know where it is?
Is that a better question to ask in #randomizer ?
Can you see anything that's wrong in this clip? I tried going through everything important. Still really unsure about what's going wrong. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the mods multiple times but to no avail.
I got the map mod from the mod installer where else?
seems to be working now for no apparent reason
Your file is called "steamappid.txt.txt"
Delete the .txt at the end
Lmao Im dumb. Thank you, works now
Hi, how can i update my game? I thought it was updated fully but apparently not?
you have to update back
or at least i think
mods arent supported with 1.5
im pretty sure you have to use 1.4.3.2
How do i make it 1.4.3.2?
open steam and go to hollow knight
click on the gear icon
properties
then go to betas
and in the drop down menu 1.4.3.2 should be listed
thank you!
is there any difference between 1.5 and 1.4.3.2 that i should know about?
No
1.5 was released like a month ago and just added some qol stuff
controller vibration and bug fixes
Hey me and my friend are having problems with multiplayer mods
how do you add custom knights?
Modinstaller link?
Thanks
downgrade it to 1.4.3.2

how to change the directory for modinstaller 2 mac
Hey guys! Just getting into modding and there are really 2 mods that I would be truly interested in, the 1 that would allow for me to change the costume of the knight, and one that would just give me double strength ( I have realized i suck too much to "git gud" and want to experience the story and exploration without too much change ), what would these be called/could I do this?
Double attack damage?
1st mod is CustomKnight
2nd doesn’t exist but can be done with debug mod
awesome, thank you very much, and i figured as such but wanted a more clear answer
im trying to have item changer and enemy rando in same run but only enemy rando works does any1 know what to do?
how do i change the installation path for the modinstaller?
In the top left of the pause menu or main menu does item changer appear in the text there? If it does does it say failed to load
it just shows enemy rando when i load it up

oh thank you
I'm playing with Randomizer and my map is invisible
Screenshot the pause menu
when i try to disable a mod it crashes the app
Look in the pins for how to reset the installer
Go to your Mods folder and create a Disabled folder in it
is there a way to download discontinueded mods?
What mod do you want
fast text
No
They’re for older versions
im sorry where might that be?
What operating system are you on
mac os
a friend is playing with the item and enemy randomizer and that either crashes when he loads it, or it loads forever
Go to your hollow knight installation, right click hollow_knight.app click open package contents, open the Resources folder, open the Data folder, open the Managed folder, then open the Mods folder then create a folder and name it Disabled
How is it crashing? Does it crash when loading enemy rando? Does it crash when starting a new save file? Does it crash before reaching the title screen?
I'm pretty sure the problem I'm having is maps aren't randomized and somehow the mod missed me picking it up (since it isn't in Recent Items)
thank you very much
from friend-
it either
- crashes immediately upon starting a new game (it freezes for a second then shuts down)
- it gets to the loading screen and infinitely loads (I've waited a full 20 minutes then just task ended it cause it will NOT close via any normal means)
the one time it loaded into kings pass I ended up dying to 3 enraged crystal guardians and it glitched me into the dream sphere where I couldn't pause, move, etc, had to task manager out again
couldn't load the save file again without immediate crashing again, so ended up clearing that and I've been trying to start a new save file since
Does Multiplayer work in 1.5?
Did your friend have cursed rando on
No mod works for 1.5 unless you do a bunch of manually installing for stuff
That I'm aware, but I thought that only worked for some specific mods.
Is Multiplayer included?
Some mods were updated, but I suggest waiting until the installer is officially released for 1.5
they do if you mean cursed item rando
Gotcha. Thanks.
Was it on easy preset(is this the right name for the option?)
Hello I just installed the mod installer but it keeps saying that my Hollow Knight needs to be updated after I selected the path

ok thanks
it crashed immediately with easy mode disabled
and heres what their settings look like
ah
i think we had a misunderstanding
i guess we thought of the easy mode mod instead of preset
ah that makes sense
So I just got PC HK yesterday from the sale, and was told to mod I have to downpatch the game. To what version do I downpatch, and how do I do it?
he is confused as to why the easy preset is there if it causes issues
Don’t ask me, didn’t make rando
fair
Hi, when i log out from the game and come back in, items arent randomized anymore, it goes back to normal, does anyone know how to fix this?
I just got the PC version. I have 112% the game on xbox
So how do I down patch, and to what version?
Gotcha, thanks
Does anyone know why my progress gets deleted playing on pc and it won’t let me quit to menu so I have to save at a bench but it never works
The regular help told me to come here
do you have mods
hey so i'm having some trouble, so i just got hollow knight on PC (i've had it on switch for over a year now) and i wanted to install some skin mods, but whenever i try to use the modinstaller it says "this installer requires the most stable recent version to run, please update your game to current stable patch something something"
but i've checked steam and as far as i know i'm on the latest update? So what gives?
1st pin can help you
Ah.
Probably should just check the pins of help channels before i go and ask for help tbh
true
um so i enabled some mods and now 66 percent of my soul is like blocked out and so is one mask what mod does this and why?
that's like the third time i've needed modding support for a game when the answer i need is literally pinned in the help channel
where can I get Any Radiance?
its in the pins of modding help
Is this a known glitch? ModCommon and Multiplayer Client installed. 1.4.3.2.
what are the benchwarp hotkeys
hello
i need help :c
:/
im trying to play multiplayer with a friend but we dont understand exactly how to do it

okay thank you

Screenshot your custom Knight folder
You need to unzip the folder
I assume you right click it
Then click extract or unzip
After that make sure your folder just has the images in it, not another folder inside that
(just like the default folder)
Screenshot the inside of the skin folder
This will almost certainly be the problem
Okay, good stuff. Do you have mod common?
I can't tell from the video
Looks like a no from the screenshot, actually
Enabled, you mean?
That's your mod installer you're talking about. There's a mod on there called mod common
Also you need to make sure your game is closed when you install it
Once you have that it should just work
Try to make sure you switch skins in a room with not much in it
Like a stag station for example
This will prevent some of the weirder bugs that can pop up (like Geo being invisible)
Godhome is also fine, there's not much in there
oh thats why that happens
You can help to prevent it by moving the geo.png file from default into any of your skin folders without custom Geo.
Not sure why Geo is the thing that is most affected by it

what*
something aint working
send modlog if it fails to load
also make sure you are not on a godmaster save, as some boss mods do not work on that
grenade smort he know all dependencies
Sad mod common no exist in 1.5
nah, just quick looking it up
Cheater
also cant find seanprcore in the mods
renamed to serecore
If you're using mod installer 1 (the one with zote as the icon) then it's installed automatically
well i cant use mod installer it doesnt work
yea and which one do i look at
thx
for me i think it will work
you just need to go steam games hollow knight properties beta and the version you see select
@everyone
what ?
is there a mod that tells you the locations of all the pickups like journals and eggs and totems and stuff? because i put on an item randomizer and i have been EVERYWHERE and i have no tram pass so i cant get to the hive

th i did it
is the multiplayer mod crossplatform??
Hi! I also have a question. I've just got Hollow Knight, after buying it already for Switch, so I wanted to play it with a randomiser, since I've already completed it. I'm following Relyea's video about it, but whenever I try opening the installer, it just keeps saying I don't have the most recent version, which I find unlikely, since I checked, and I'm on it, and I also just got it today, and also, I'm pretty sure the game isn't being updated anymore...

Oh, really sorry I didn't think to check there
is there a multiplayer mod that allows the players to interact with the same enemies?
There is not
All mods are PC only
Oh, sure, that's also just a computer
Is it possible to have Hollow Knight on the newest version and Hollow Knight on the beta version?
unless you get it from two separate sources then no
what is the beta access code for 1.4.3.2
There shouldn't be an access code
yep
also, my graphics broke in game and I can't tell if it's something with my mods or AMD's GPU drivers. Here's an image:
where is the link for modinstaller 2 for mac?
in the pins
Yea, pretty sure it is
only seeing modinstaller 1
https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/jlten Go to this page and scroll down till you find the "Multiple Installed Patches" section
For some reason, Hollow Point mod won't work at all for me
In what way?
I have both Hollow Point and modCommon installed and enabled and it does nothing
all ways
it just doesn't do anything
i can't see or switch to the gun
Thanks!
and it doesn't change anything
Is the mod name showing up in the top left corner?
yeah
of the main menu
yes
And you don't see the gun on your back or anything?
is there a multiplayer mod
Yes, there's one on the installer but it's not well maintained, use this instead. https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
Do you just have hollowpoint, modcommon, and the moddingapi?
or do you have other mods?
no i have others
Which ones? A screenshot would work
i have randomizer 3, enemy randomizer, benchwarp, customknight, quality of life and poorly translated
If you tap the focus key and then attack does anything happen?
no it just makes me attack with my nail
Uhh, well I'm not certain, I guess try just reinstalling the mod
where can i download skins?
So i just downloaded the mod installer and I am trying to open it and it keeps saying "quit unexpectedly
this is on mac
whats current items randomiser
randomizer 3

how do I get the mod installer to run
its not letting me view the sprites

i just downloaded all of them into a zip file, then put the file into the hollowknight mod file where you see hollow knight.data
What...
uh
im not good at explplaing lol

the gun mod broke my game lol
so i wouldnt do unless you have backup files
cause some stuff wouldnt work after like spells, heals, the normal nail
etc
Yes, you should make backups but you can also just use a new file (note: you have to quit to menu then reload the save after making a new file with hollowpoint)
That's because all those things are changed as part of the mod
I think I messed up somehow because I the mod installer keeps quiting
Spells and heals use a new mechanic called adrenaline (vengeful spirit doesn't even do anything), soul is now just ammo, and you have tos witch to your nail if you weren't aware
Right click the installer, select "Show package contents", in the folder that opens find an Application and move it to your desktop, then run it
The installer works for mac, this fix is exclusively for mac
ok
thank you so much
is the hollow point mod gun not suppose to work when you first start a game? the gun shoots but nothing comes out
you need soul
my soul is filling automatically
also i have 9999 behind a 4 way arrow and a nail icon
Quit to menu and reload the save, it doesn't work on a new save until you do that
Also the 4 way arrow is to show that you're in that fire mode but there's also an 8 way firing mode, the 3 dots are your adrenaline counter, and idk what the 9999 means tbh
Have fun!
Now i cant open hollow night
