#

again, why am i dealing contact damage to radiance

real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

what are you using

hoary furnace
#

every time i try to select a skin the menu disappears and i dont change skin

real jacinth
#

what do you have

hoary furnace
#

wdym

#

what skins?

proven girder
#

Modding API
DebugMod
ModCommon
Transtrans
UltimatumRadiance

real jacinth
#

what mods

hoary furnace
#

custom knight, hollow point, trans trans

real jacinth
#

no modcommon?

hoary furnace
#

thats too

grizzled ermine
#

also do i have to reopen the game when i put in the info for hollow twitch, just making sure im not wasting time

hoary furnace
#

also weaver core but i dont remember installing it

real jacinth
#

what's your skin file structure like?

#

and you also have hollow point, which interferes with customknight

hoary furnace
#

ooh

#

alright

real jacinth
#

and you don't need weavercore

hoary furnace
#

that must be it

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?

grizzled ermine
#

enable them?

primal fiber
#

I mean install them

#

Sorry

real jacinth
#

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?

primal fiber
#

Yes

#

The files

real jacinth
real jacinth
grizzled ermine
#

i meant do i have to close and reopen it

real jacinth
#

you shouldn't be changing settings with the game open

primal fiber
#

I mean the CSharp files

#

So, yes

real jacinth
#

and you do have a mods option in your options menu?

primal fiber
#

?

real jacinth
#

in the game

#

at title screen

#

click options

#

is there a "mods" selectable in there

#

or not

primal fiber
#

Yes, their is, but no mods in that

real jacinth
#

do this. delete the moddingapi.globalsettings, customknight.globalsettings, and benchwarp.globalsettings files

proven girder
#

Here's a better question: why am I being blatantly ignored?

real jacinth
#

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

proven girder
#

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

real jacinth
#

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

proven girder
#

If you want to know what charms I have, actually ASK

real jacinth
#

and I scroll through this chat a lot to keep up. so yes, I did see your initial ask

zenith stratus
#

How do I manually uninstall mods?

real jacinth
#

nah. don't feel like playing 20 questions with every person

real jacinth
zenith stratus
#

where is that?

real jacinth
#

in your mods folder of your game

zenith stratus
#

Or actually whats more the problem is that the mod installer can't find Vanilla Hollow knight

real jacinth
#

where did you buy the game

zenith stratus
#

Steam

real jacinth
#

where did you tell the installer your game is

grizzled ermine
#

does the twitch token have to have "oauth: as well as the token for hollow twitch to work

real jacinth
#

no

#

you want just the token

zenith stratus
real jacinth
#

well, that's probably why

#

you probably told it the wrong spot

grizzled ermine
#

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

real jacinth
#

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

zenith stratus
grizzled ermine
#

then what do i do to fix it

lapis skiff
#

The Mod Installer from the link above says I need the latest stable version of the game, which I'm on

real jacinth
#

first pin

real jacinth
#

reset installer

#

then read the prompts it gives you

#

direct it to where your game actually is

real jacinth
grizzled ermine
#

which are?

real jacinth
#

do you have modcommon, serecore

#

enabled

primal fiber
#

And, sorry to bother you again Mickely, but do you mean these files or some other ones.

real jacinth
#

nope. not these

#

you are in your game files

#

you need to go to saves

zenith stratus
#

K thx

primal fiber
#

Sorry, I'm still new to this sort of thing

grizzled ermine
#

both modcommon and serecore are enabled

#

but it still doesnt work

real jacinth
#

then show your settings file

grizzled ermine
#

the settings file for hollow twitch? which one the bak or json

real jacinth
#

json

zenith stratus
grizzled ermine
#

whoops wrong one

your game is probably here too.

but if you installed it somewhere else, you can find it by right clicking the game in steam

vernal rain
grizzled ermine
#

does the mod use the json or the bak file

#

hollow twitch

real jacinth
#

the json

#

.bak stands for backup

#

not actively used

grizzled ermine
#

i know that

#

then does the json reset to the exact same thing as the bak file when the game opens?

real jacinth
#

no

#

the json sets the bak file

grizzled ermine
#

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?

I am starting to try some mods, and you have to use an older game version. Could this hurt my files/change anything

limber egret
grizzled ermine

hollow twitch still isnt working

It's probably in your downloads folder

could someone look at the hollow twitch settings and tell me what i did wrong

light rose

Sooooooooooooooo

#

Are mods compatible with the latest version yet?

restive whale

YouTube just says that because they don't know if it's safe

ahh

ok

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?

pliant lantern
pliant lantern
little kettle
#

yes

pliant lantern
#

Not sure why you assume it's hollow point then

little kettle
#

no but i have used the other ones before with out it and was just trying it now

#

so i am certain

pliant lantern
#

I'm pretty certain it's not

little kettle
#

maybe a clash between Hollowpoint and another mod?

pliant lantern
#

You most likely either have NG+ or Elderbug god

little kettle
#

k ill check ty

pliant lantern
#

There's possibly a different one as well, but I can't honestly remember.
It's not HP though that does that.

native ice
#

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

little kettle
#

yep you were right i have Elderbug god tysm

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

if I download it

native ice
onyx violet
#

ok

#

oh my jebus thank you

weary cape
#

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?

harsh pier
#

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?

native ice
harsh pier
#

I specifically didn't enable that because I knew it would mess with animations

native ice
harsh pier
#

These are the only mods I have

#

Thank you for trying to help btw

native ice
#

Well it's most likely unofficial patch

harsh pier
#

Okay, I will get rid of that, thanks

native ice
#

not certain tho

#

also btw, if you want you the other benefits of qol you can disable specifically faster boss intros iirc

harsh pier
#

Oh really? I don't know how haha

weary cape
native ice
#

well that's odd

#

but uh

#

Do benchwarp fix from this message

weary cape
#

Also the white bar loading that happens upon starting the game doesn't occur.

native ice
#

Did you do benchwarp fix?

#

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

weary cape
# native ice Did you do benchwarp fix?

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

onyx violet
#

help!!!!!!

#

every single game I launch with mods

native ice
onyx violet
#

would have godhome mode

#

and I only have 4 masks

#

and my soul metre is locked

native ice
#

What?

onyx violet
native ice
#

Wdym? Every new file you make starts in godhome with bindings or?

onyx violet
#

no no

#

every single game I go into

#

I have everything locked

#

like in godhome

vernal rain
#

do you have the bindings mod installed?

onyx violet
#

I do

vernal rain
#

try disabling/uninstalling it

onyx violet
#

do I get out of the game?

native ice
#

yes, the game should be closed while installing or uninstalling mods

onyx violet
#

do I disable it then

#

just play the game without bindings?

weary cape
#

Alright thank you very much. That seems to have done it. Thank you for putting up with me grimmbow

native ice
onyx violet
#

I disabled it

#

but I still have bindings

crimson gale
#

can you just be on the most recent version to play with mods

#

or does it have to be an older version

limber egret
#

?pins Check the first pin

dense shuttleBOT
crimson gale
#

ah ok

#

will my save files still be fine

limber egret
#

Yep

crimson gale
#

im doing a true ending for the first time

limber egret
#

You should back them up if you're installing mods, though, as mods themselves can cause issues on your old save files

crimson gale
#

aslong as my saves are fine

#

i just wanna use the skin thing

limber egret
#

That would be fine

crimson gale
#

would i still have to?

#

im guessing stuff like room rando and item rando you would have to

limber egret
#

They would require a new save anyway

crimson gale
#

oh yeah lol

#

in the menu can you disable and enable mods?

#

im just seeing what its like before i install it

limber egret
#

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.

crimson gale
#

yeah

native ice
#

Also while installing, reference the readme doc in the pins to know what you're getting into in advance

crimson gale
#

so just a rundown

#

when you download it double click it?

#

then click the mods you want?

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

this is why discord is awesome

#

thank you

crimson gale
#

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

limber egret
#

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.

crimson gale
#

i dont like how it minimizes when you go on another tab

#

lol

#

cause when i go on my second monitor

#

it gets annoying

limber egret
#

You can run 1.4 in borderless windowed mode as well

crimson gale
#

it said that i need to be on the lates version

#

this one right?

neon marten
#

yes

crimson gale
#

ok

#

im doing custom knight now

novel bronze
#

the 1.5 update doesn't allow mods as far as I know but that's kinda the only difference that I've seen

limber egret
#

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.

crimson gale
#

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

#

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

# fair briar what does not work about howwowknyight and beansdefender

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.

fair briar
#

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)

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

and infinite notches

this is the right version, right?

The last bit of this message

real jacinth

do this. And delete the moddingapi.globalsettings, customknight.globalsettings, and benchwarp.globalsettings

burnt goblet

these are basically the mods that show up here, but they don't work except for qol and inf notches

limber egret
#

See above

real jacinth

i highly doubt that

burnt goblet

in the appdata is no LocalLow file. Maybe im stupid, but i don't see it there at least

real jacinth

copy the whole path and paste it in your address bar

or copy it to Run by opening that with Win+R

ill try

ah got it, and then what do i do

real jacinth
burnt goblet

okay, i deleted the file things

#

and now

real jacinth

run the game

burnt goblet

no change

real jacinth

how many files did you delete

should have been 6

#

and did you delete them when the game was closed

ill try again

ah i think it works now, because the mod loading bar thing appears. thanks

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

since we are going to downgrade the game to put mods, do we need to save our save in a separate folder?

ty I should have checked there first, I'm a dunce lol

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

formal pasture

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?

just delete the file and you're done

hey, is there anyone here that has done No-Hit runs that could help me into how to set up mods for practising

formal pasture
#

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.

fair briar
#

just leave that empty and press X after selecting 1.4

formal pasture
#

OHHHH

#

wow xD

#

ok, and after it updates I do everything else from the modinstaler, right? thanks: D

timber zealot

and i just download all 4 assets in the link?

Does modinstaller still not work with 1.5?

oh yay fun

knotty brook
#

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?

loud escarp
#

lmao

real jacinth
#

delete the stolen copy. reset installer

knotty brook
#

He deleted it and re-installed the installer.

#

Could he reset it in another way?

real jacinth
#

the installer isn't "installed'

#

so dunno what you're talking about

#

and reset instructions are in pins

frank trellis
#

quick question

#

one of the skins i downloaded from the google drive has a readme

knotty brook
#

He downloaded a new copy of the installer and deleted the previous one.

frank trellis
#

do i need to delete the readme for the skin to work properly

#

ok ty

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

and you can stop saying "he"

#

we all know it's you

#

😉

pliant lantern
#

There's a pinned message that says "Resetting ModInstaller"

frank trellis
#

lmaao

loud escarp
#

alright stupid question but how do i check the "properties" tab as suggested in the pin? I'm a complete noob to Steam

frank trellis
#

open the hollow knight page on steam

#

click the gear icon

loud escarp
#

yeah

frank trellis
#

properties will be right at the bottom

real jacinth
#

or right click the game in the library list

loud escarp
#

k thx a bunch man

frank trellis
#

also do update modinstaller (whenever it gets an update) do i just need to delete it and reinstall

#

or will it do that automatically

real jacinth
#

automatically

frank trellis
#

aight ty

loud escarp
#

you guys are gods honestly, wouldn't be able to do this myself

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

it's fixed and broken all the time. depends on who updates it.

#

auto updates have only been broken like.... 3-4 times ever

pliant lantern
#

It's just been notably the last 3-4 times, which is why I assumed it was continuously broke lol

real jacinth
#

more people changing it now, so it breaks more often

vernal rain

can't wait for mi2.5 to release, so i can ping 56 with every issue

where is that located

real jacinth
#

do you have modcommon and serecore

frank trellis
#

im pretty sure i do

real jacinth
#

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

frank trellis
#

ok

timber zealot

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?

#

what qol mods should I install for my first playthrough?

real jacinth
#

none

loud escarp
#

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

real jacinth
#

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)

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.

uncut cargo
#

ok is there a way to run vanilla 1.5 now

willow silo
#

I don’t think so then again I’m new to all of this

uncut cargo
#

mickley is it possible

vernal rain
#

in a day or two maybe

real jacinth
uncut cargo
#

no i never did that

real jacinth
#

so you haven't downpatched?

#

then just verify game file integrity

uncut cargo
#

yes

#

how

real jacinth
#

with steam

#

right click the game->properties

uncut cargo
#

now what

real jacinth
#

did you verify files

uncut cargo
#

doing it now

real jacinth
willow silo
#

I’m on windows and I can no longer launch the game without the error coming up

real jacinth
#

did you open the installer

willow silo
#

Yes

real jacinth
#

verify your game files

#

then try running the game

#

without opening the installer again

willow silo
#

I’ll try that now

#

It says all files validated

uncut cargo
#

it failed to validate

willow silo
#

Still get the error when I try to open it though

willow silo
#

Ok I’ll look at it

#

Ok i deleted the registry what should I do now

#

Should I try and start the game?

real jacinth
willow silo
#

Oh sorry about that

#

It’s still crashing

real jacinth
#

what does the error say

#

you can upload the output file here

willow silo
#

Here is the error window that keeps popping up

real jacinth
#

yes. upload the error file

willow silo
#

i forgot to delete the message attached with it

real jacinth
#

do you use Citrix

willow silo
#

i have an application called citrix workspace

real jacinth
#

so yes

#

get rid of that

willow silo
#

ok

real jacinth
#

it's causing issues

robust stag
#

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

real jacinth
#

6 months

#

there's no reason not to do it

#

takes like 5 minutes

#

and is easily revertable

willow silo
#

should i try booting up the game now

real jacinth
#

did you uninstall citrix

willow silo
#

yes

real jacinth
#

then yes

willow silo
#

It running now

#

I’ll see if the mods work but thanks for the help

real jacinth

👍

#

@real jacinth cheers thanks

willow silo
#

@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?

real jacinth
#

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

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!
