every time i try to select a skin the menu disappears and i dont change skin
what do you have
Modding API
DebugMod
ModCommon
Transtrans
UltimatumRadiance
what mods
custom knight, hollow point, trans trans
no modcommon?
thats too
also do i have to reopen the game when i put in the info for hollow twitch, just making sure im not wasting time
also weaver core but i dont remember installing it
what's your skin file structure like?
and you also have hollow point, which interferes with customknight
and you don't need weavercore
that must be it
i dont even know what it is or what it does
Hey. I needed some modding help. When I open the mod menu and enable mods, they don't show up in hollow knight. I am on 1.4.3.2. And I followed what the first to pinned comments said. What else can I do?
enable them?
do you have a mods option in your options menu?
did you do the "if mods still aren't working" link of the first pinned comment?
you need to open the game to use the mod, yes
?
i meant do i have to close and reopen it
you shouldn't be changing settings with the game open
and you do have a mods option in your options menu?
?
in the game
at title screen
click options
is there a "mods" selectable in there
or not
Yes, their is, but no mods in that
do this. delete the moddingapi.globalsettings, customknight.globalsettings, and benchwarp.globalsettings files
Here's a better question: why am I being blatantly ignored?
b/c you're not really describing anything
and/or people don't know the answer
nobody knows what you've done, what charms you have on, what actions you're taking or anything
A: the first time I asked the question you could not of not seen it
B: You requested my mod list and I provided it and then was ignored
the only info we have is "i'm doing contact dmg," which to me isn't enough to give an answer, so I didn't give you one
If you want to know what charms I have, actually ASK
and I scroll through this chat a lot to keep up. so yes, I did see your initial ask
How do I manually uninstall mods?
nah. don't feel like playing 20 questions with every person
you delete the .dll of the mod
where is that?
in your mods folder of your game
Or actually whats more the problem is that the mod installer can't find Vanilla Hollow knight
where did you buy the game
Steam
where did you tell the installer your game is
does the twitch token have to have "oauth: as well as the token for hollow twitch to work
Idk
then its broken cuz the commands arent working and i put everything i needed to in the .jason and .bak files
and saved it and reloaded the game
or you have a syntax error, or don't have the dependencies it needs, or something else
the version hasn't changed and it works for others
how do I change it?
then what do i do to fix it
The Mod Installer from the link above says I need the latest stable version of the game, which I'm on
first pin
reset installer
then read the prompts it gives you
direct it to where your game actually is
do you have the dependencies it needs?
which are?
And, sorry to bother you again Mickely, but do you mean these files or some other ones.
K thx
Sorry, I'm still new to this sort of thing
then show your settings file
the settings file for hollow twitch? which one the bak or json
json
And how do I get where it is?
syntax, you need quotations https://files.catbox.moe/votwy6.png

wow i must be stupid

Ok thanks!
but if you installed it somewhere else, you can find it by right clicking the game in steam
properties->local files ->browse
"TwitchToken": "zaliantlikestomakesalehbesad",
Nope I'm good now
Thanks!
i know that
then does the json reset to the exact same thing as the bak file when the game opens?
but the json file reset to say null for the token, username, and channel but the bak file didnt
i cant find the create save state and load save state buttons does anyone know where they are?
does anyone know why the hollow twitch json file resets when the game opens?
after i set the info it needs
I am starting to try some mods, and you have to use an older game version. Could this hurt my files/change anything
hi sorry if this is a stupid question but I downloaded the mod installer no problem
how do you open up the mod installer? I can't find where its located to
No
Wherever you downloaded it to
hollow twitch still isnt working
is it one of these?
It's probably in your downloads folder
i don't think so you can check if u want tho
has anyone checked for something i did wrong with the twitch mod settings
nevermind
Anyone know if its possible to see other players custom knight with multiplayer mod?
heya quick question, how do i manually add mods to the mods installer? for example i want to install the impossible path of pain but i only got 4 json files and i have no idea how to add it
oh and does anyone know where i can download the any radiance mod?
I think someone recently relinked AnyRad in #modding-discussion
And watch fireb0rn's guide to installing impossible%, as it goes over using Decoration Master
Custom Knight doesn't work with Multiplayer.
You can change to using HKMP though, which does have a skin-system similar to CK
thanks man, gonna look it up
thx
how do you backup your saves?

How do I randomize the charm notch cost of charms?
I believe that's only in a beta version of the randomizer, a link for downloading it should be in #randomizer pins
Thank you very much, have a nice day
You too
my mac won't let me open hollow knight in 1.4.3.2 version
it says I don't have the permission
Read the Team Cherry post that's linked in the first pin
They mention methods of fixing that
when will the modding api be updated cause im on 1.5
Nobody knows
You can follow the instructions in the first pin to downpatch and use mods now though
whats the best mod installer for the current version?
Either of them
You will need to downpatch whichever one you use. Check the pins for how to downpatch
got it thanks
every time i try to launch the game with the modding api active it gives me a white box with a red exclamation point and the game doesn't launch

well thank you
Can I downpatch on Nintendo switch?
Ok 😂
YouTube just says that because they don't know if it's safe
I'm 99% positive that it is not harmful
I don't know much about modding so I may be wrong

Each console has it's own board iirc
oh or that
hey I just tried to run the installer, and two tiny windows flash open on my screen for a milisecond before closing immedatly and it makes a new file called au and thats it, running the file again does nothing
Third pinned message
This one
Which file
Wow I just realised that this is the general hk server I feel stupid lol
This exactly describes your problem, so try it again, or if you had a problem describe what the problem was
what do i download for multiplayer server
alright I got it fixed thanks
was looking in app data for the file
not appdata/local
Install guide for HKMP, the multiplayer mod that most people are using now
https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
alright so im trying to use custom knight. ive downloaded a skin and made sure its the right folder. i put it in the correct directory but when i select the skin from the pause menu, the knight just blinks white and doesnt change. any ideas on whats going on?
Either you have the skin in an extra folder, you forgot ModCommon, or you're trying to use skins with Hollow Point / Lightbringer (which don't work with skins)
ah. i forgot to enable ModCommon. thank you
Does anyone know what happens when you have the infinite notches mod on and equip all the notches but then you disable the mod?
Hey dose anyone know why i insta die when getting hit when using Hollowpoint?
Afaik nothing. Infinite notches edits the save.
Do you have more than just Hollow Point?
yes
Not sure why you assume it's hollow point then
no but i have used the other ones before with out it and was just trying it now
so i am certain
I'm pretty certain it's not
maybe a clash between Hollowpoint and another mod?
You most likely either have NG+ or Elderbug god
k ill check ty
There's possibly a different one as well, but I can't honestly remember.
It's not HP though that does that.
There's also glass soul but you're likely to remember downloading that since it's not on the installer and just on the pins
yep you were right i have Elderbug god tysm
how do I find the modding client again? I dont see a desktop shortcut
press window key and type modinstaller, it should pop up
thanks I used a space like a dummy
np
does anyone know the mod that lets you instantly get things like charms
what does it mean by choose correct instillation path because it keeps giving me that
debug
thanks!
It means to choose the location of your hollow knight game files. If you don't know where that is go to steam library >right click HK > select properties > local files > and browse. This'll open the exact folder the installer wants you just need to find the file path and lead the installer down that path
It says to update to current stable patch, how do i do it?
thanks

ok thx
does anyone know if the mod launcher is prone to corrupting save files and if so how to back them up?
hi i added a manual mod but it won't work and i want to remove it
how do i remove it?
Hey so I've been seeing people with a notch cost randomizer for charms, is this a different rando mod or is it in the normal rando mod?
If I'm not mistaken it's a beta version of rando 3, the link for it should be in #randomizer pins
Navigate to your mods folder and delete the dll for it
I've rarely seen that but some mods will have strange effects on saves so backing em up is a good choice. The best way to back em up is to just navigate to your saves folder and create copies of the files and put them into a folder somewhere
How do you install any radiance?
Theres a download in the pins
Hi, new to modding, after getting mod installer whenever I try to open the game I get an error saying I don't have permission to open Hollow Knight. I'm on mac btw
Here
I have the file, how do I actually put it in and make it work
do i need to unlock radiance in the hall of fame before fighting any radiance
Use the installer and select the manually install option then give it the dll
Yea, or you might be able to noclip in with debug, use a godseeker save, save edit, or cheat your way throuh p5
I downloaded the beta version but the "randomize notch cost" isn't showing up, either that or I'm blind
Try the steam post from
linked in the first pinned message
That seems to be the issue. Thanks!
@tired skiff
Um...
I installed the Hollow Point mod, made a new randomizer save file, exited the game, and re-entered. I now see the Knight carrying the gun, but I can't seem to swap to it
I press the focus button per the ReadMe, but it just does a healing animation and stops
Has anyone encountered this? The ReadMe seems to make a distinction between the "cast" and the "focus" button, but on keyboard it's the same button
is there a way to change the debug mods keybinds
hay i trying to mod but it says i need the mod installers most recent stable version, cana someone give me the most recent version
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
the mod installer doesnt work on the current patch
what do you do to make it stop saying that
open the game in an older version
how
on steam you go into properties, go into betas, and change it to 1.4.3.2
ok thx
ok thank you
Make sure you've got modcommon
Just click the dot next to the command you want and press a new key to bind it to. If you need to reset them all to default then you can delete the globalsettings file located with your save files
thanks my guy
How do I update randomized to most recent version
The most recent version is a beta and it can be downloaded from the pins of #randomizer, then use the manual install option of the installer
im dumb i thought i had to change the modinstaller version
hi does anyone have a mod that adds infinite charm notches
There's one on the installer
what does randomizer 3 and 2 do
I have it installed but i dont think it works
CharmNotchesMod right or is it something else?
2 is outdated, 3 randomizes item locations or where room transitions lead with a ton of settings
ah i found it thank you
Check the google doc with all the mod summaries
@native ice help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the radiance mod manager wont work
because of errors
and I tried the two links
number 1
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
number 2 is in pinned messages
and yes I updated Hollow Knight to 4.3.2.1
anyone?
please?
POV: everyone went silent 
Not sure why you pinged me specifically, any can you give more details because i have no clue what the problem you have is you've given me nothing to work with
ok so
if I download it
and open it
it downloads fine
BUT
AFTER IT DOWNLOADS
it says
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. if you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Access to the path 'C:\temp' is denied.
Move the installer to your desktop, and run it as administrator
so this is the only issue i have encountered with this so far because it was working perfectly fine up until the new api update, but anyways. as it stands my modding api is completely busted, ive downloaded and deleted it at least 5 times to fix the problem to no avail. i try running the api and while it works at first, upon loading the game, none of the mods actually work at all, and then i check my file intergrity and it always says there is a broken file, even upon steam's "fix". is there something i am missing?
So I have a few mods installed and I was wondering if anyone knew if any of them shorten animations? I first noticed it with Soul Master, that the first time I fought him I didn't get his normal entry animation, he just showed up like I'd already fought him before, and it just happened again with Broken Vessel, I didn't get to see the animation where the lightseeds animate it. Has anyone else noticed that with any mods?
the "broken" file is the modding api, verifying removes that. Go to your main menu, open the options menu, and tell me if there's a mods folder there
qol
I specifically didn't enable that because I knew it would mess with animations
Well what mods do you have then? Can you screenshot the top left of your pause/main menu
Well it's most likely unofficial patch
Okay, I will get rid of that, thanks
not certain tho
also btw, if you want you the other benefits of qol you can disable specifically faster boss intros iirc
Oh really? I don't know how haha
In options, there is a mods option yes.
Also I don't know if it's related but I've noticed when downloading mods that require other mods, like randomizer, if the mod was already installed, instead of keeping it installed and untouched. It uninstalls it.
Also the white bar loading that happens upon starting the game doesn't occur.
Did you do benchwarp fix?
@north meteor Here's the link to the unix api: https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/download/1.4.3.2-60/Unix.zip
To install it, start by unzipping the folder and opening the folders until you find a couple Assembly-CSharp dlls, then set that folder aside and head to your steam library, right click hk > select properties > local files > browse, and navigate to the Managed folder, iirc for linux it's \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\, then move the Assembly-CSharp files into the games managed folder and overwrite the existing ones. Then you should be good
I'm not exactly sure where to find the files because I looked for where "LocalLow" and "Team Cherry" files were located but I couldn't find it. I'm not the brightest so I'm probably just missing something but I tried searching on the Hollow Knight folder in general and nothing came up
Press Windows + R and paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ then click "Ok"
What?

Wdym? Every new file you make starts in godhome with bindings or?
do you have the bindings mod installed?
I do
try disabling/uninstalling it
do I get out of the game?
yes, the game should be closed while installing or uninstalling mods
Alright thank you very much. That seems to have done it. Thank you for putting up with me 
Disable it if you don't want the bindings, keep it if you do
can you just be on the most recent version to play with mods
or does it have to be an older version

Yep
im doing a true ending for the first time
You should back them up if you're installing mods, though, as mods themselves can cause issues on your old save files
That would be fine
would i still have to?
im guessing stuff like room rando and item rando you would have to
They would require a new save anyway
oh yeah lol
in the menu can you disable and enable mods?
im just seeing what its like before i install it
Some, but many you can't, you would need to use the mod installer to disable/uninstall them. (But that doesn't take very long.)
So you would basically decide what mods you're playing with before you open HK, make those changes on your mod installer, then open HK, so you're adding like an extra minute ish at most of you're making loads of changes.
yeah
Also while installing, reference the readme doc in the pins to know what you're getting into in advance
so just a rundown
when you download it double click it?
then click the mods you want?
where do i find mod for skins?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
customknight
does modding affect achievements?
you can get them
so i can still get achievements in steam after i use modinstaller
yes
ok nice tq
are all the mods verified and stuff
what does not work about howwowknyight and beansdefender
2 mods i contribute to and both are broken, great

which one is for HOG bindings
both
both
but Toggle is better
toggle can toggle
Toggle can toggle, and use add-ons
pog
Mulhima made bindings for nail directions and split claw/cloak
what does weaver mod do
pls help idk how to fix this
i did that but it still doesnt let me open it
oh wait
try right clicking mod installer, selecting "Show package contents" then looking for an application in the file that opens, and moving that application to your desktop and running that
So long as you use mods from the mod installer then yes
im trying to get custom knight to work and i just cant, the skin files just wont work
Make sure your skin files are in this structure:
There can't be any extra folders
Also, make sure that you have Mod Common enabled.
Also also, make sure that you're not using HollowPoints or Lightbringer

it happened arfter i downloaded the purple knight skin
that has not helped
does anyone know what happened
uhhh
@potent atlas any clue whats happened
^
any way to have the non beta and beta
like 1.4 thing
both of these
instead of having to download it each time
i mean aslong as it doesnt take up the space for each of them
im fine
i just dont wanna run out of storage
You would need to have both versions installed at the same time. But is there a reason you still want 1.5 installed? There's almost no differences to the game at all.
i dont like how it minimizes when you go on another tab
lol
cause when i go on my second monitor
it gets annoying
You can run 1.4 in borderless windowed mode as well
yes
the 1.5 update doesn't allow mods as far as I know but that's kinda the only difference that I've seen
Having borderless windowed mode as an option in the menu is a difference, but you can add a command in Steam to make it run like that. Or I believe you might be able to just press Alt+enter in the main menu.
ty for helping
i got killer whale and bunny
how do i make it borderless window?
oh right
ill just keep it how it is
i just wanna make it so it stays on screen when i tab out
also
why whenever i load my save
does it reset my keybinds
its kinda annoying
cause if i want to tp back to bench
is this correct
or borderless window
nah
that wasnt right
i just want it to stay open when i tab out lol
can someone tell me
how to open debug mod menu
i clicked hide menu
and idk how to open it
F1
Iirc that happens to mouse keybinds. Might need to use another program to map mouse inputs to keyboard inputs

Nvm discord being weird, that was already answered
Sorry for the ping
I'm having trouble with using the "Daughter of Hallownest" Skin. I've downloaded it, added what's inside the zip folder (not the actual zip folder itself) to my other CustomKnight skins that work perfectly fine, but whenever I load up my game and try to use the skin from the pause menu, it just leaves me with the default Knight skin. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? Idk if i'm doing anything wrong
it dont open on f1
Ping

thank

i cant seem to be able to use enemy rando, its installed but doesnt do anything
it shows up in the mods settings but nothing changes in game
quick question, lightbringer seems to overwrite custom knight when sitting at a bench and stuff, is there any way to work around that?
nope
Somebody help 
It might be in another folder within the folder
Yea
But i need help how can i use a controller in a downpatched versiom
Version
Cant get it to work
So, uhm- Redwing-- The infinite soul bug, is that still in there?
Is that so
Nvm fixed.. im an idiot
Can someone help me?
is the moddingapi for the modlaoder updated yet?
They refuse to install... They download, and then an error message comes up. After I got so much help from Mickely already, I didn't want to get greedy, especially considering I'm fairly sure that one is just a speech modifier and the other is just a fart mod for Dung Defender.
there is no voice acting, so it changes text
it is stupid that howwowknyight gets su much of these problems
is the message "central directory corrupt"?
if i have one single user file and theres 5 already existing files for the previous save do i just remove all 5 and place the one file in that place? (the files are dats, dat baks and jsons)
not really a mod but yea
nah just replace the userN.dat
you don't need to replace the rest
i believe they are used for the previous versions
@past swallow
yea yea i saw
i need help, i'm trying to run the modinstaller but it keeps saying that my hollow knight game isn't in the latest version. i checked for any updates and i don't have any. what should i do?
1st pin
here's the error message for howwowknyight
good luck ig lol
oh
Do I want to install the randomizer 2 or 3?
3
ok
soo how do i revert back to 1.4.3 if i got the game off xbox?
mods don't work for non-steam or gog distributions
close the installer, open it again and see if it works
Basically, i had mods before, it shows the mods in game but if i turn them on it does nothing. Im on the right version. I tried reinstalling the game and the modding API. any explanations why its not working
Only mod that works is QoL
and infinite notches
screenshot your title screen
What mods do you have installed?
so you have nothing top left
nope
The last bit of this message
do this. And delete the moddingapi.globalsettings, customknight.globalsettings, and benchwarp.globalsettings
these are basically the mods that show up here, but they don't work except for qol and inf notches
See above
that folder doesn't exist for what ive seen. ill check
i highly doubt that
in the appdata is no LocalLow file. Maybe im stupid, but i don't see it there at least
copy the whole path and paste it in your address bar
or copy it to Run by opening that with Win+R
run the game
no change
how many files did you delete
should have been 6
and did you delete them when the game was closed
yes
Ohh wait
ill try again
ah i think it works now, because the mod loading bar thing appears. thanks
tysm, it works
How do I activate the Randomizer Map?
Assuming you mean Randomapmod, talk to Elderbug
i dont really know , i havent done randomizers
(obviously you need to download the mod first, but I assume that's not your question)
Then they weren't asking you?
Did I do something wrong? I'm trying to use custom knight but it doesn't let me change the skin
I just click on it and it looks like it wants to change but it doesn't
then either:
1)you don't have modcommon
2)you have moresaves installed
3)your skin folder is structured with extra folders
does infinite grimm work in godhome
check readme
Or even just mod summaries
can I get some help getting the hollow point mod?
Fwiw, More Saves shouldnt cause an issue.
The reason more saves messes with some mods, is because the extra text it creates isn't being properly destroyed when leaving the menu, so it just invisibly floats in front of stuff- but that just prevents buttons from being clicked altogether (which didn't appear to be their issue; and it shouldn't effect text over there anyway).
That being said, 2) could just be replaced with "Hollow Point / Lightbringer" lol
If you want help, then just mention what you need help with specifically--
What is your actual problem?
I don't know how to get mods lmao

just by activating the beta version of the game we will be able to use the modinstaler? I did not understand much what the API is, that's why I ask
yes
oh, epic :D
me and my friend have installed the multiplayer client and server but cant figure out how to join each others game. can someone help?
Step 1: Yeet those mods. They are really unstable, and not being moved away from.
ok
Step 2: Here's a guide for HKMP, which is what is being primarily used now: https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
Remove the old multiplayer mods and download this one:

thanks a buch 🙂
is there an easy way to uninstall the old modinstaller?
ok cool
hey, is there anyone here that has done No-Hit runs that could help me into how to set up mods for practising
like, is there any actual good save state mod? (debug mode save state seems to be glitchy and doesn't respawn enemies)
sorry but, when we change the beta to 1.4.3.2, don't you have to enter a code or anything? i'm new to this thing sorry.
just leave that empty and press X after selecting 1.4
OHHHH
wow xD
ok, and after it updates I do everything else from the modinstaler, right? thanks: D
and i just download all 4 assets in the link?
Does modinstaller still not work with 1.5?
oh yay fun
So my friend just bought Hollow Knight when he played on a cracked version before and his mod installer says that he needs to buy the game before playing. How could he fix that?
lmao
delete the stolen copy. reset installer
the installer isn't "installed'
so dunno what you're talking about
and reset instructions are in pins
He downloaded a new copy of the installer and deleted the previous one.
That literally doesn't change what Mickely said lol
There's a pinned message that says "Resetting ModInstaller"
lmaao
alright stupid question but how do i check the "properties" tab as suggested in the pin? I'm a complete noob to Steam
yeah
properties will be right at the bottom
or right click the game in the library list
k thx a bunch man
also do update modinstaller (whenever it gets an update) do i just need to delete it and reinstall
or will it do that automatically
automatically
aight ty
you guys are gods honestly, wouldn't be able to do this myself
Was the AutoUpdater bug fixed? 
it's fixed and broken all the time. depends on who updates it.
auto updates have only been broken like.... 3-4 times ever
It's just been notably the last 3-4 times, which is why I assumed it was continuously broke lol
more people changing it now, so it breaks more often
can't wait for mi2.5 to release, so i can ping 56 with every issue
do you have modcommon and serecore
im pretty sure i do
well they're in the list top left of the game
if you have them
if they're enabled, then just close the game and restart it
should fix the map mod issue
ok
me and my friend have been following the guide up to here but when we looked there was nothing for managed IPs. can someone help?
i dont know why its not showing
what qol mods should I install for my first playthrough?
none
i installed a skin but even after transferring the folder to custom knight folder, the game wouldn't run it
the skin name shows up when i pause the game but when i click on it it does nothing
then either:
1)you don't have modcommon
2)you have moresaves installed
3)your skin folder is structured with extra folders
4)you have lightbringer or hollow point installed (conflict with customknight)
i'll check now, thanks
My mod installer just isn't opening
Whenever it does open it's just a huge window with a switch that says "Manually"
can you pin something like this
what error window pops up before this
Microsoft. NET Framework
screenshot it
where is your installer located
In my downloads, not in any files
put it on desktop
and run as admin
downloads is not technically a real folder, so move it to desktop
huh weird, my modinstaller works on downloads
it says you need the latest installation of the game

I've tried that, I've tried reinstalling both the game and the mod installer, now nothing opens
you have to downpatch
what does that mean

do the first pin and the third pin. and make sure the installer exe is added as an exception in your firewall/virus software/windows defender
Hello I’m also new to modding and when after I downloaded the installer with the beta version of the game I get a message saying “Hollow Knight has encountered an error and must close.” Not sure what to do.
ok is there a way to run vanilla 1.5 now
I don’t think so then again I’m new to all of this
mickley is it possible
in a day or two maybe
undo the beta change
no i never did that
now what
did you verify files
doing it now
what OS are you on? Can you launch the game at all after doing the beta downpatch, before doing anything with mods?
I’m on windows and I can no longer launch the game without the error coming up
did you open the installer
Yes
verify your game files
then try running the game
without opening the installer again
it failed to validate
Still get the error when I try to open it though
do this section
then run the game
Ok I’ll look at it
Ok i deleted the registry what should I do now
Should I try and start the game?
Here is the error window that keeps popping up
yes. upload the error file
do you use Citrix
i have an application called citrix workspace
ok
it's causing issues
sorry if this was in the pins and I missed it... is there an ETA on when 1.5 may be supported? The pin from over 2 months ago says you need to downpatch but I didn't feel like doing that if a new version of ModInstaller may be imminent 🙂 cheers in advance
6 months
there's no reason not to do it
takes like 5 minutes
and is easily revertable
should i try booting up the game now
did you uninstall citrix
yes
then yes
👍
@real jacinth cheers thanks
@real jacinth everything seems to be running fine. Thanks Again!
Also would I have to close the game each time I want to try a new mod?
you can't change the game files while they're in use
so yeah. if you want to install a new mod, you have to close the game
Ok thanks
pale prince isnt appearing i HoG after i install it
are you in a godseeker save
just do it again?
do what again
install the installer
there's nothing to install
because i already have it on my main steam
it's just a program
yeah but i have 2 hollow knight
one 1.4.2 ithink
and one 1.2.2.1
for speedrunning
i have no idea what this is supposed to mean
lol
if you already have an installer downloaded, you just.... run it
it's a standalone program
i know but it installs the mods in the wrong hollow knight folder
what are you trying to get mods on
you can't use the installer for 1221
it only works for 1432
So what do each of the settings for enemy rando do?
the readme describes them
Thanks
mod installer is telling me to update hollow knight to a new patch despite the fact that i just downloaded it from steam
is there any way to fix that?

So I've been trying to get the mod loader to work, and it says i need to update my game to the latest version, but it is already at the latest version
Having some issues with losing inputs, but I don't think it's related to FPS. The last 2 randos I've done I noticed movement on the taskbar with the HK icon. When this happens, the window is temporarily de-selected (thus rendering my inputs obsolete). this only seems to last for one frame. Very rarely will it affect a button press, but stopping in my tracks every minute or less is annoying at best. I haven't been able to find anything resembling this sort of issue and I haven't had time this workweek to see if it happens with other Steam games. If anyone can take a look and see if they notice something I don't it would be much appreciated.
Computer Specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xwBjdD (This is a new build, has been running for a week)
I use an XBOX One controller connected via USB cable for gameplay.
Mods in use: Modding API 1.4.3.2-60, SereCore 1.0.0.0, Benchwarp 2.4, CustomKnight 1.2.4c, DebugMod 1.3.7, EnemyRandomizer 0.3.2, ModCommon 0.0.6, PlayerDataDump 3.1.0.5, QoL 2.4.0.0-f6ec59, MapMod 0.5.1, RandomizerMod 3.12b(104)
Programs running while playing: SLOBS, Discord, iCue (problem persisted when this was closed)
Link to VOD from yesterday demonstrating issue. At 2:33 the HK icon in the taskbar shifts itself from between the other icons and relocates to the far right, indicating it is the most recently launched. There is also lots of walking back and forth to show movement stopping. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1113167446
Screenshot (from 7:34) showing that the HK window registers as "Not Responding" and the 'X' at the top right of the window is highlighted red. This lasted for a single frame but the red 'X' is what initially caught my eye while streaming. https://imgur.com/0VNHqrv
I need to leave for work so I won't be able to do any local re-testing, but I will do my best to respond to any inquiries . Thanks!
No
Do I need to be?
Is it possible to backup one's save files?
you could always try deleting your registry for HK just to be sure. The latest input based issues I've seen recently have been fixed by this.
yes
no
read the first pinned message
Reading the message would go a long way. It doesn’t say you need the latest version. It says you need the most recent stable version.

@real jacinth can i ask you what files i have to preserve?
userX.dat
im getting this error for a split second when i try to launch the game, i think its because of the mods
it's because you haven't downpatched
i need to downpatch? to what version

how i use modding api to mod i use vs?
you open the installer
kinda wanna go on my non rando now
and click disable
what?
flags get set that you don't want set
how i mod with modding api
that doesn't clear it up
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
are you wanting to make mods? or use them
how i do code mods
make
ok
heyy i am currently trying to play with some mods, but they just won't show up and i have no idea why
i have downpatched to 1.4.3.2
did you do the bottom part of pin 1
omg i have installed mods but it dont have they at list why?
b/c that menu isn't used for most mods
i have not i'll check
they dont work to
they're showing up top left, that means they're there
i have hpbar but i dont see it in game
did you hit an enemy
what is your game resolution
2560 x 1440 pixels
still no mods for me, i have done the bottom part of pin 1 and when verifying the game files integrity it reinstalls 2 files instead of just one
and did you open the installer again after that, like it says?
no changes
do this. the bottom fix for benchwarp/customknight
alr back at you whenever i'm done
did you reload your game after changing
mickely should i delete the general settings of all the other mods asw?
if you want
global*
shouldn't need to tho
its work allready thx
still nothing
i deleted the two relative to benchwarp since the message said those and/or the others
i'll try with all four
yes. get rid of the customknight ones too
not sure what you mean restart the api
no you didnt
the mod installer
just launch the game after you delete the settings
did you close the installer ever?
and did it say it was downloading the api when you opened it after you verified your game files
yes
yes i did that before coming here
it was not, same installation path
hold up it now suddenly works
i swear i have no idea what happened, thanks for the support either way
any way i can increase frames. for some reason with just randomizer and hollowpoint my frames have been halfed
play windowed, reduce window size, close everything else that's not the game, clear your registry, buy new pc parts
do mods make loading slower
no
