so this just rips the files to another location then
so i can still mod it just not the same way?
seems like
no idea if this works or is safe
so try at your own risk
yeah.
played for like a bit over half an hour and the pc hasn't crashed, hope the fps capping/turning off background tasks helped
The mod installer says my game is not updated
Which one?

Thanks

sorry i got who showed me it wrong
@fair briar is the gamepass hollow knight mods installer from earlier today safe?
how download mod
im very sus of this but i looked at the guy who made it on github and they look like they're trustworthy
?pings
specifically gun
look at pins they might help
from what i understand it just copies your files from the protected directory to your desktop.
and there seems to be a legitimate github project where you should download the application from : https://github.com/Wunkolo/UWPDumper that said, it is a process not many have tried here. so you'd need to take a risk on that front. also probably best to not ping multiple people.
thx

is there a way with debug mod to kill a HoG boss? i wanted to do another radiant run on another savefile with godseeker mode so i can see which bosses i already killed but dont wanna unlock radiant again for all of them
or maybe just unlock radiant somehow?
invincibility and nail damage boost
good idea, ty
You can also edit the save so that the diffs are unlocked/beaten
Yes, but that's pretty complicated and annoying
I mean it's pretty simple once you know what you have to do but i get that, especially if you just want to like, unlock/beat the diffs on one or 2 bosses using debug is easier. If you want to unlock the diffs for all bosses save editing is probably faster tho
yea, qol or the website for it
where do i get the link for the mod installer
?i

any ideas why my game might crash? using these mods
its always in the middle of gruz mother radiant with minions
shouldnt have anything to do with it but just in case
getting the "This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again." and the resetting the modinstaller isn't working, any ideas?
Uh, no. Maybe just try restarting your pc or somethin?

where can I find the google drive with the mods?
i can try, i dont know what it would have to do with it but whatever
why?
it's helped with random crashes for me in the past, so
. Other than that i guess you can remove some mods and try again, i wanna say start with HowwowKnyight since I vaguely remember that being problematic at times
I confused first pin and last pin dont mind me
yeah random crash again
guess i'll have to remove them now
amazing, the game crashed after the kill, better than nothing 
i removed howwowknyight so it might have been that
There's the "Language Support" mod but I don't know what languages it has
Is that mod in the installer
yea
Ty
wat
oh wait i should enable helper mods again 
oh wait, could it be that a helper mod is missing? but im guessing they're all there, i have vasi and sfcore
ah modcommon
i feel like its debugmod's enemy hp bar
since i started using the separate hp bar mod its fine
it bothers me a bit that i cant turn the hpbar off ingame
Qu.: used Debug Mode to switch GrimmChild to Carefree Melody. then Carefree Melody costs only 2 notches (instead of 3), and the GrimmChild is still floating around.
Is this normal, or did I do something wrong?
Yea that happens sometimes. I believe what you wanna do is unequip the charm, set it to 0 for unowned, and then try save editing it to I believe 5
let me give that a try, thanks
@autumn blade tried it on my machine works fine, passed malwarebytes scan, let me know if you need any help
Debug mod allows multiple save states or I need to use more saves mod to do that?
those are two separate things, debug only gives you one save state, and moresaves gives you several pages of save files
Ok, thanks
So, if you want more save states, you have to do save files to do something similar?
hey when i try to use the modinstaller.exe it tells me that my version is not the most stable version, and im using current patch. how do i fix this?

okay thank you
I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it in another folder. Now I try to open the modinstaller and I get this message
pd: i don't speak english, sorry if there is any typo (translator).
Change the file path
how?
the modding api was updated 7 days ago so shouldnt it work with current patch?
I try but it won't let me
?
Im not 100% sure tho so maybe someone else can confirm jt
system could not find the file 😦
im trying to load 1.4.3.2 but steam gets to 195.42 MB/195.42 MB then just stops
I use is the one that gives xbox pass
wait no it finished
ohhh thats why
im pretty sure modding only works with steam or gog
i think?
oh xd
ya only works with steam or gog
its another game store
ive never personally used it before but ive heard steam is easier
Nw
when i install vasi it gives me a big fat error

#archived-modding-help message
4th pinned message
how do i let myself move my mouse in the debug menu
without pausing
sometimes i get bugged and cant unpause
ok so I was using the Hollow Point mod for awhile w/o issue but then today (possibly connected to trying to get multiplayer to work, dunno) I started being invisible (only gun still visible, lol) and then the "unable to heal" bug happened.
I used both the "click twice on .bat file" and "manually place dll" fixes and if I have Hollow Point disabled, I can heal; if I enable it, same problem with healing appears (tho not the invisibility).
I quite enjoy this silly mod though and would like to keep using it if possible. Is there a way to do this (and heal)?
The readme seems quite leery of uninstalling the mod (regarding saves) so I have not yet tried that.
thanks in advance
Being invisible is usually caused by customknight, may also happen if you use lightbringer as well. And healing uses a different method with hollow point so if you mean using soul to focus doesn't do anything, then yes that's normal
how do i give myself just one charm in the charms menu in debug mod
you can't
sad
in what way?
cheat yourself to the location of the charm
@native ice I am not using customknight or lightbringer; multiplayer and debug mod are the only other things I installed
but yeah I was being derpy about adrenaline and heal in the HP mod so at least that's all good XD
Well it could be the result of multiplayer but I'm not certain tbh.
pls help with skins
elaborate
so
when i open the modinstaller it says that i need to install the game for some reason
What does it say exactly, cause i can think of three different errors that are similar with different fixes each. And where did you buy the game
steam, and it says unable to locate game files please make sure the game is installed and try again
Move the installer to your desktop and run it as administrator
Have you downpatched?
yes
to 1.4.3.2?
yes
Then reset your installer and make sure you path it to the correct spot. The correct spot would be the Hollow Knight folder, you can find it's pathing by going to the steam library > right clicking HK > select properties > local files > browse. Instructions for resetting the installer: #archived-modding-help message
did you reset the installer?
Can you somebody send me the mod installer please?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
thx
How do you even reset it
There's a link just above that message
Resetting it makes it so it's like it's your first time using it, doesn't touch mods tho. So it'll prompt you for your file path and stuff
By the link above you mean that resetting means to just download it again?
Oh that link
Nvm all good
what?
No matter where I move the installer it refuses to register Hollow Knight
I put it inside the Hollow Knight folder
Outside
different part of my folder entirely
put it on your desktop, and what does it tell you
Lemme try that
Couldn't Locate Hollow Knight Installation folder
Please use the button below to select it
I bought it on steam unlocked
and I pathed it to the outside folder of the game
and then inside
and then I made a mods folder in that folder
You can't mod pirated copies
AH.
Buy the game
Well
I already have two copies
but they're both console
well this is frustrating
Welp
I got an error saying that i need to update my game
i have the latest version
could this have something to do with me already having a save?

Hey, does anyone have any tips on getting the controller to work with the mods? I've tried plugging it in when at the title screen; no luck.
I'm playing on a mac, using an xbox one controller via usb.
Thanks so much for the mods, by the way! Without them, this game is pretty difficult for noobs like me.
That's likely since the installer adds the windows version of the api instead of the unix one. To fix it you can manually install the unix api. To do so, first download and unzip the folder, then open all the folders till you find several Assembly-CSharp files, then set the folder aside. Next (assuming steam), navigate to your steam library > right click HK > select properties > local files > browse > in the folder that opens right click hollow_knight.app, select "Open Package Contents" > then navigate down \hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\ (Note: there's two managed folders so make sure you take the right path, and the managed folder may be hidden below a bunch of level files). Then move the earlier Assembly-CSharp files and move them into the Managed folder, replacing any existing ones.
Here's a link to it: https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/download/1.4.3.2-60/Unix.zip
Wow you are an absolute legend. It worked, thank you so much!
Well, does anyone know what's the Modding API mentioned in the pinned messages?
I am trying to install mods manually
The installer can help you install mods manually
And will install the api automatically. Are you having an issue with the installer?

It first told me it automatically found my hollow knight path, but after I clicked yes it just did nothing, and a txt file named Modinstaller_Error_ appeared

aight
Are you missing QoL or one of the other needed mods?
then go to beta tab and change it to 1.4.3.2
oh it says that it failed to load Qol
Aaah, your probably missing vasi right?
Yoiu need Vasi
oh thanks
wait could this mess with my saves
No
nah it wont
i did it and my longest save is still intact
Wtf every time I try to quit hollow knight now it wont let me and every option on the main menu just leads to a quit game prompt
Its not a huge deal but still rly weird
Wait it is a problem
Help
I cant start the game when I press it it just brings me to the quit game prompt
hey guys, can anyone help me with installing impossible any% because I can't get it to work either the game crashes or its just normal hollow knight.
Hey, I can't start a Steelsoul new game, is a bug from mods or from the game?
Just a quick question, what's the latest version of the modding API and what version is it compatible with?
if I want to use my mods on the downpatched versions, I'll have to restart the modinstaller?
hey, I think 8.7.1 is the latest one and it's compatible with 1.4.3.2
Oof. Any idea when they'll update it to work on current patch?
there is a current patch api
but not all the mods are updated
so it doesn't really matter
Where can I find it?
I would rather just play the 1.4.3.2 version. You can change it in your steam library
Dang.
so just downpatch to 1.4.3.2 and use the installer
not really a reason not to
1.5 doesn't change anything important
how do you get imposible any% to work? Because its always crashing.
did you downpatch
?
first pin
Hi, can someone tell me why my custom knight skins arent working anymore? Im using Mod Manager v8.7.1 on 1.4.3.2. I put the png files in the custom knight folder but when I click on the skin ingame my character only lights up for a second but the skin doesnt change.
there's no way you downpatched already
why not
second pin
ok
because it takes time to download it from steam
ok ill try that
oops, thx
"not found"

oh sorry i was thinking that you mean click the second link
uh, where can I activate the charm notch cost randomizer?
You need the latest version of rando that isn't on the installer.
Check the pinned message in #randomizer
alright, thanks!
Hey, where's the modding API located? (Not when you download it, but rather install it.)
I'm trying to open the mod installer, but it just flashes open some windows and then they close.
when did you download the installer and where from
I play hollow knight on Xbox Game Pass for PC. Is there anyway to mod the game on game pass?
I think I downloaded it a few months ago, but then I ended up switching to the latest patches.
I even tried redownloading the modinstaller, still gave me issues.
how do i get Hollow Knight Discord RPC to work
i have better discord installed and i have all the plugins i need for it to work
double check the plugins are in the correct spot. Double check the mod shows up on title screen of game. make sure you've downpatched to 1.4.3.2
ok thanks
didnt work ;-;
nevermind it works now
where can i install the mod Vasi? the modinstaller wont let me, so where can i do it manually?
Hi, I'm new in this server and had some problems trying to add the custom knight mod. I watched a few videos on how to do it and nearly all of them tell you to downpatch the game. Is downpatching safe? or will it make you lose your save files in any way? I'm confused about what to do so I thought I'd ask you guys.

Does the multiplayer mod have an updated version?
Is the update for the randomiser in a drive? Can't see any options on the installer
wdym
Saw skurry's video with a lot of new cursed options for the randomiser, or is that not a public build yet?
cursed things are in the current installer randomizer
if you want a beta build, check out #randomizer pins
There are cursed options but this had new cursed options. I'll go check over at randomiser
For context, the bottom left restrictions don't appear in my version
@real jacinth it was in the pins, thank you!
idk why but i cant use the daughter of hallownest skin if i use it it just chooses default what do i do?
its correct because i enter hollow knight and nothing and i instaled qol mod
does someone know how to use "Manually install mods" in the 1.4.3.2. mod installer because i want to install impossible any%.
help. idk why but i cant use the daughter of hallownest skin if i use it it just chooses default what do i do?
Look into the daughter of hallownest skin folder and make sure that there are only pngs( and maybe the readme) in there and not any other folders
screenshot it
@real jacinth down dating did not work :/
no but i was trying to mod impossible any%
it wasnt working and you told me to down date
its still not working
you got any other ideas?
then you installed it wrong
how do you install it right?
yee
did that show on the title screen
nope
impossible any% is not in the installer
so i was trying to install it manually
but it wont work

Simple quick question: Is the Mod Installer getting updated to the newest patch? If yes, is there an ETA on how long that will take?
yes. 6 months

"it wouldn't work" is not anything to go off of

Yo my internet decided not to work so i wanted to play HK rando but i cant cauz i have no internet. But i have 4G so would anyone be kind enough to send me a zip file of the newer version of rando that i could manually download and install, please (i'd REALLY appreciate it)

Yeah
Hey there! I've downloaded the mod installer 2 for Mac, but when i go to run it I only see a checklist of mods with enable/disabled, and am not sure how to get the mods running on the game. I'm new to this and relatively technologically inept—can anyone help me get the mods set up? TIA 🙂
you click installed? boxes for what you want
I've tried following the pinned directions i'm just troubled too haha
yeah they're all auto-clicked for enabled
you're required to install the boxes for modding api and modcommon
wdym ALL
you installed every mod?
oh i lie the only one that's checked is the API
sorry im learning as i go here 😅

Well to enable something you kind of have to install it
is the dll alone enough to use a mod?
What mod
still rando
yeah i have the game in the right version and with modinstaller but i never installed rando and i just have the dll
You’ll probably need Serecore, modcommon, Qol, and Vasi to have everything work
dont think i have qol and really not sure if i have vasi
Vasi is required for Qol and Qol is required for some skips
gonna check
Benchwarp is also recommended iirc
QoL is also just required for rando to run
Oh ok
it's an actual dependency now
If I want to install the mods, do I just check the boxes like this?
probably don't install every mod though
It will mess up things
Okay thank you!
install too much and you'll have a shit soup of mods
like mixing too many colors together
you just get brown
i have weavercore and modcommon
And then they just autodownload? Or do i have to get the files from somewhere?
clicking the boxes downloads everything
They download when clicking install?
is the google drive in pinned messages still updated?
Beauty
I think so
it's becoming less and less updated
omg it worked y'all rock thank you!

everything works perfectly thanks a lot for the help

a while back i lost my HK saves due to stuff on my pc getting corrupted, and it ruined my saves. Is there a way I can use mods to cheat stuff back in?
from the link in fireborns video
thanks
and where is it right now
where is what?
in my downloads
move it to desktop and run as admin
has the hk mod thingy been made compatible with 1.5 yet ?
no
aw
will i have to redownload every mod if i revert back to vanilla?
or is it like a toggle
i was also abouta ask
how does one randomize charm notch cost 
Excuse me, where can I download the ModInstaller
check pinned
uh... is "charm cost" supposed to be a visible option when making a randomized run?
I have a problem with ultimatum radiance, sometimes when I'm close to him he take damage automatically, I don't get any soul but he still get hit???
i wanna be invulnerable and the mod i got wont load what should I do?
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
debug has invincibility
pretty sure that's just how it works
Not unless you have the beta version of rando 3, you can get it from the pins of #randomizer
@native ice like I'm not hitting radiance but he is still getting hit
It removes the api but not the mods. Also the installer button doesn't work, verify the game integrity and then don't re open the installer
yes, that's just part of the mod
I think
Hmm that's weird
I believe you need a specific version of FrogCore, but I'm not sure which so let me go check
ohh, so i have the wrong version then. ight, thanksm8
go to steam and revert to 1.4.3.2 beta
Thanks
how to i use it in debug like the command
Go in game, if the menu is closed press f1 or fn + f1, pause the game, click "Cheats" from the top right menu, select "invincibility"
can anyone help me to learn how to install mods onto HK?
It's very simple, first thing you need to do is downpatch your game. Check the first pinned message, it's like three clicks. Second just download the installer, move it onto your desktop, and run it

hey guys, what is the mod of the AK-47?
hollow point

What did you do recently?
It's a beta version, you can download it from the pins of #randomizer @zinc zenith
If you mean the menu that allows you to enable skips and change what's randomized and such, that's randomizer 3, also refer to the above message ^

@raven vessel @zinc zenith @fossil anvil
You want Randomiser 3. There's a version on the mod installer, but there's also a newer version. Head to #randomizer and check the pinned messages.
Thanks
how do install it onto HK?
Open the mod installer, select "Manually install mods" option, and select the .dll file for it
Make sure you installed Qol, Vasi, Benchwarp, ModCommon, and SereCore. And for modlog, it can be located with your save files
Qol turned its self of for some reason xD and it works now thanks
people because they say this:c? "This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game current stable patch and then try again." if I have the game updated

thank you
All i wanna get us custom knights and enamyhp bar so i know how close i am to beating p3
Colesium boss thing
In p3
yea
And i wanna do randimizers because it looks fun
But ill see how to down patch at 13:00 uk time
it's very simple
you probably coulda already done it
since it's literally just this
if you're on steam
idk why but all of a sudden this happened to my game when i openned it up
the reason i am putting this in #archived-modding-help is because this only happens when i am using mod installer
i have tried quite a few different things and this still happens
maybe this is because i have mod installer 1?
the information and stuff just doesnt load in, and the background music isnt there either
if anyone knows what's going on pls tell me
and this is the achievement screen
try doing this
k thanks

@real jacinth my friends and i are trying to do multiplayer on HKMP with zerotier, 3 of us have tried hosting and it isnt working. each time we try and connect in game it says "connection failed" what do
have you tried with hamachi
the item randomizer mod isn't working for me
any modlist
in what way?
it says that the mod failed to load
yeah it wasnt working either so i figured we'd try this one bc i heard it was better
Make sure you have QoL, Vasi, Serecore, Benchwarp, and mod common installed
whats the port everyone is using
and when using hamachi is everyone shown as green connections
ya they were green
on HKMP not all the members were showing up when i went to zerotier central
and even tho i'd clicked them to authorize them it wouldnt work
Hellooo
thx it works now
Can anyone teach me how to use mods?
Start by checking the first pinned message, you need to downpatch your game. Then just download the installer from here, move it to your desktop, and run it

This is for windows
okay update, so my friend is now hosting with zerotier and all the members showed up on his end, but all of our connections are still failing in game @west bane
what port you all using
do u need to download the enemy and area mods separately if u r doing a randomizer?
sounds like maybe a firewall thing?
Hey! I installed all the mods required but when starting randomizer the game freezes at king's pass
Anyone knows how to solve it?
1.4.3.2 I suppose
thanks
Its fine i figured it out
hi sorry i'm trying to find the download link for the modinstaller 2 for a friend? The download link on the google doc i was working from had her download modinstaller 1
i saw Skurrys new video, and he was using an updated version of rando? any info about how to get it?
wait nevermind, i found it
?pins also there’s no problem with using mod installer 1

interesting, i remember a few months ago that modinstaller 1 no longer works
It’s always worked?
If you mean on version 1.5, then no, neither work
1.4.3.2 (the intended version for both) works fine though
modinstaller isnt launching
Where did you download it from and where is it located on your computer
i think i got it from here and its in the root folder of hk
Put it in your desktop folder
okay
Sometimes it breaks if it’s in the hollow knight folder or in something like downloads
huh, weird
Plus there’s no benefits to having it there
how does the multiplayer mod work?
There's a pinned message that covers that. But instead you should probably use this https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
So, i moved modinstaller to my desktop, and it works now, but now i launch hk and no mods are applied. I'm on 1.4.3.2 and i did the "if mods still arent working" thing
Open the options menu, is there a "Mods" tab?
yes
Then do the benchwarp/custom knight fix from this pin ^
Thank you it worked!
how do i make myself instakill things in the debug mod? whenever i use the instakill thing it does nothing
even when i hit stuff
You can add nail damage
yeah but if i do it in the nail binding then it doesnt increase at all
which is what im oding
doing*
uh, well just turn on invincibility and infinite soul and shriek spam
yeah thats what im doing now lol
Head to #randomizer and check the pins, it's a beta version
Here's a little thing I've noticed and am curious about any input on: when I play Hollow Knight (or other Unity games specifically) with V-Sync disabled, I can audibly hear my GPU whining. Even the framerate cap doesn't fix it, only V-Sync does. Thankfully, on the current patch, the game plays and feels great even with V-Sync, so it isn't an issue there.
On 1.4.3.2, however, the game is hella laggy with V-Sync. Unplayable, basically. One of the mods I got from installing the item randomizer (QOL I'm guessing) added an "Input lag" function to the menu which does indeed get rid of the input lag, however my GPU goes back to whining when I use this function. This makes me wonder what the input lag option actually does.
Ok, thank you
it just renames vsync
to "input lag"
so when turned on, you get lag
Oh okely dokely. Interesting that the newest patch totally fixes the input lag from V-Sync. Good on Team Cherry for that 👍
wait so i wanna try out the ModInstaller but I cant open it
any help?
where'd you get it from
what patch are you on
what OS do you have
I got it from trying to download a mod
yea

do the 1st and 3rd pin
and make sure you've gotten the installer from this discord
which the 3rd pin describes
Thank you!
the rando is not gibing me mantis Calow
step 1: git gud
is this linux.zip a linux mod installer or something?
it looks like it but im unsure how to use it
(just finished downloading a i sent that oops but still unsure what to do)
by extracting and running it
That would be Mod Installer 2, also note that there's a more up-to-date version here: #archived-modding-help message
And please remove pings from replies when replying to pins
sorry about that i will in the future, didnt even know that was a thing i could do
You just click the "@ on" button in the bottom right, it should be on mobile as well if you're using that
i haven't messed w/ mods in this game for a while, tried to use em again (Modinstaller2 but from a while back, it seems), didn't work (no mod effects showing in game, period), followed instructions in pins, still didn't work. anybody know why?
i'm on windows, if that matters.
From the title screen, open the options menu. Is there a mods tab?
no.
And you're on 1.4.3.2?
Have you tried the "If mods still aren't working" section of the first pin?
yeah.
Then open the installer and make sure the modding api doesn't say "Out of date!"
only thing about modding api in the list.
no error messages or nothin', just straight up doesn't work as far as I can tell.
should i just uninstall and reinstall all the mod stuff, installer included?
Well that probably means 1 of 2 things, first: your installer may be looking at the wrong spot somehow. Second: you misunderstood/forgot to do a step. Should probably try this again #archived-modding-help message
i did every step, but okay
OHHH, i forgot windows sucks and doesn't actually delete files when you tell it to, it just puts 'em in the bin and THEN you can delete it
uh
if it's moved from the folder to the bin that means it's practically deleted, like it won't be affecting anything from that point
unless I'm misunderstanding
then i am out of ideas
but lemme see if this works
...nope, still no mod options.
shit.
alright, uninstalling and reinstalling the mod installer it is, then
i started messing with the mods and now my controller doesnt work in hk
still works fine in steam, tried disabling all the mods, renamed the mod folder, etc and still not working
manjaro linux, might have something to do with it but idk
im using an 8bitdo controller on the xinput setting
Yea, that's cause the installer adds the windows modding api and not the unix one. You can download the unix api here: https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/download/1.4.3.2-60/Unix.zip
To install it, first download it and unzip the folder, then go through the folders till you find a couple Assembly-Csharp files, then set that aside for a bit. Next, navigate to your Managed folder, should be the one that contains the mods folder (in case you don't know: go to steam library > right click HK > select properties > local files > browse > \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\.) Then move the earlier Assembly-CSharp files into the managed folder and replace the existing ones
yeah, uninstalling and reinstalling the installer and the mods worked, turns out i had an outdated version
...neeeeevermind.
damnit.
still nothing working.
OHHH, it's because i have a folder for hollowknight data in both C and E drive, for... some reason, i guess.
Yea that'll cause it
how do i change where it installs to?
is there an option or do i just uninstall and reinstall?
Uh, I think you needa make sure that the installer is on the same drive as the one you wanna connect it to
kk
just reset the installer
And to get it to prompt you again you can reset the installer #archived-modding-help message
it refuses to stop remembering my settings and i don't know why
i deleted the appdata file
was the installer closed?
...oh, right, duh
hey, l recently installed mods on my computer except now hollow knight just crashs when l try to launch it
if you're on windows, you should probably use installer 1 anyway
lemme try that again
Have you downpatched?
did you downpatch
i installed the unix versions from your link but it still seems to not be working
no how do l do that

ok ty
i closed it, made sure the file was still not there, and it still doesn't prompt me
refresh the folder and delete the file again. Or use mi1 like mickely said
there is no file to delete
i refreshed it
well it shoulda generated one if you reopened the installer
fuck, man, i just wanna shoot some bugs
yes 
so, modinstaller 1 is still compatible with windows, and it's got all the mods?

That's arts mod
ohhhh ok thanks
i was able to get the controller working again by validating the game files
tried modding again after that and it worked okay, but then i tried pausing at one point and the game didnt actually pause in the background, and i couldnt unpause to get control over the character again lol
so maybe i just wont play with mods for a while
already beat the game twice on switch and wanna go again on pc and the mods are just making it complicated for me rn tbh
The not pausing in the background sounds like changing time scale with debug hotkeys
and unpausing not working is weird and I think I've seen it before but not sure how to fix it
This is ok(?
I have activated the custom knight mod but any skin that I put inside the folder makes the game not open ... does anyone know why?
Have you downpatched?

The skins do not appear to me lol
hey can someone help me
Like i want to get Daughter of Hallownest skin
BUT IT JUST DOESNT WORK
Have you downpatched?
yes
how do you do that
i cant put a simple skin
All goes wrong
In pause menu the skins not appear idk why
In a vc?
nvm
daughter of hallownest has a different install method
Inside the skin folder is a hollow_knight_Data folder, this folder needs to be moved to (for windows) the game files and replace the existing one (to get to the game files go to the steam library > right click HK > select properties > local files >browse)
i need to replace it?
Drag the hollow_knight_Data folder from the skin into the Hollow Knight folder, and select "Replace existing files"
Ah pc people
?
Computer
yes
Modding only happens on the pc version
I really don't know
nice
Nice
it's a meme title screen
can i change it back?
maybe in the in game settings where you can change title screen theme
Doesnt work
