Thank you so much.

real jacinth
#

so this just rips the files to another location then

autumn blade
#

so i can still mod it just not the same way?

brazen pasture
real jacinth
#

so try at your own risk

brazen pasture
#

yeah.

autumn blade
#

#

#

#

sorry i got who showed me it wrong

@fair briar is the gamepass hollow knight mods installer from earlier today safe?

old mesa
#

how download mod

autumn blade
#

im very sus of this but i looked at the guy who made it on github and they look like they're trustworthy

#

?pings

old mesa
#

specifically gun

autumn blade
#

look at pins they might help

brazen pasture
#

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.

autumn blade
#

fair

#

i just dont wanna brick my computer

boreal vigil
#

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?

native ice
boreal vigil
#

good idea, ty

novel bronze
#

You can also edit the save so that the diffs are unlocked/beaten

native ice
#

Yes, but that's pretty complicated and annoying

novel bronze
#

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

boreal vigil
#

im doing all bosses yeah

#

can i just edit the json file by QoL?

native ice
#

yea, qol or the website for it

ocean sundial
#

where do i get the link for the mod installer

dense shuttleBOT
boreal vigil
#

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

merry ginkgo
#

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?

native ice
#

Uh, no. Maybe just try restarting your pc or somethin?

dense shuttleBOT
merry ginkgo
#

where can I find the google drive with the mods?

boreal vigil
native ice
merry ginkgo
#

I confused first pin and last pin dont mind me

boreal vigil
#

yeah random crash again

#

guess i'll have to remove them now

#

amazing, the game crashed after the kill, better than nothing KEKW

#

i removed howwowknyight so it might have been that

frank trellis
#

Is there a hindi language mod for hk

#

I wanna mess aroudn

native ice
frank trellis
#

Is that mod in the installer

native ice
#

yea

frank trellis
#

Ty

boreal vigil
#

#

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

boreal vigil
#

i feel like its debugmod's enemy hp bar

#

#

atomic bison
#

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?

native ice
atomic bison
cosmic rune
jolly cedar
#

Debug mod allows multiple save states or I need to use more saves mod to do that?

native ice
jolly cedar
#

Ok, thanks

#

So, if you want more save states, you have to do save files to do something similar?

ocean sundial
#

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?

dense shuttleBOT
ocean sundial
#

okay thank you

fiery swift
#

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).

frank trellis
#

Change the file path

fiery swift
#

how?

ocean sundial
#

the modding api was updated 7 days ago so shouldnt it work with current patch?

fiery swift
frank trellis
#

I think you need to reset the modinstaller?

#

It should be jn pins somewhere

fiery swift
frank trellis
#

Im not 100% sure tho so maybe someone else can confirm jt

ocean sundial
#

im trying to load 1.4.3.2 but steam gets to 195.42 MB/195.42 MB then just stops

fiery swift
#

ocean sundial
#

frank trellis
#

im pretty sure modding only works with steam or gog

#

i think?

fiery swift
#

oh xd

ocean sundial
#

ya only works with steam or gog

fiery swift
#

I'll buy the steam one to see if it solves that, thanks

#

frank trellis
#

its another game store

#

ive never personally used it before but ive heard steam is easier

fiery swift
#

ohh ok

#

thanks

#

#

@frank trellis thanks for everything

silk cypress
#

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

native ice
ocean sundial
#

how do i give myself just one charm in the charms menu in debug mod

ocean sundial
#

sad

native ice
native ice
silk cypress
#

@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

native ice
#

Well it could be the result of multiplayer but I'm not certain tbh.

delicate parrot
#

pls help with skins

native ice
delicate parrot
#

so

#

when i open the modinstaller it says that i need to install the game for some reason

native ice
#

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

delicate parrot
#

steam, and it says unable to locate game files please make sure the game is installed and try again

native ice
delicate parrot
#

ok

#

still says the same thing

native ice
delicate parrot
#

yes

native ice
#

to 1.4.3.2?

delicate parrot
#

yes

native ice
#

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

delicate parrot
#

its already in ther

#

e

native ice
#

did you reset the installer?

drowsy belfry
#

Can you somebody send me the mod installer please?

dense shuttleBOT
drowsy belfry
#

thx

boreal vigil
native ice
#

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

boreal vigil
#

By the link above you mean that resetting means to just download it again?

#

Oh that link

#

Nvm all good

remote folio
#

I...

#

I'm going through it right now

native ice
#

what?

remote folio
#

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

native ice
#

put it on your desktop, and what does it tell you

remote folio
#

Lemme try that

#

Couldn't Locate Hollow Knight Installation folder

#

Please use the button below to select it

native ice
#

oh wait

#

so where did you path the installer to? Also where did you buy the game from

remote folio
#

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

native ice
#

which folder specifically

#

screenshots would help

remote folio
#

wait

#

and also I can't screen shot it?

limber egret
#

You can't mod pirated copies

remote folio
#

AH.

limber egret
#

Buy the game

remote folio
#

Well

I already have two copies

but they're both console

#

well this is frustrating

Welp

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.

native ice
# robust quarry Hey, does anyone have any tips on getting the controller to work with the mods? ...

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

Well, does anyone know what's the Modding API mentioned in the pinned messages?

#

I am trying to install mods manually

native ice
#

The installer can help you install mods manually

#

And will install the api automatically. Are you having an issue with the installer?

hollow oriole
#

The installer2 is failing to work I believe

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

native ice
#

Huh, never seen that one before

#

Well, I guess manually installing is a fine choice then, the modding api is on the google drive with mods above

hollow oriole
#

Ok, it worked out perfectly, huge thanks!

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?

narrow cipher
#

Just a quick question, what's the latest version of the modding API and what version is it compatible with?

icy brook
#

if I want to use my mods on the downpatched versions, I'll have to restart the modinstaller?

opal moon
narrow cipher
#

Oof. Any idea when they'll update it to work on current patch?

real jacinth
#

there is a current patch api

#

but not all the mods are updated

#

so it doesn't really matter

narrow cipher
opal moon
#

I would rather just play the 1.4.3.2 version. You can change it in your steam library

real jacinth
#

^

#

your mod list on 1.5 is like..... debug

#

and that's pretty much it

narrow cipher
#

Dang.

real jacinth
#

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

novel bronze
#

how do you get imposible any% to work? Because its always crashing.

real jacinth
#

did you downpatch

real jacinth

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.

real jacinth
#

there's no way you downpatched already

novel bronze
#

why not

I didn't say to click a link

novel bronze
#

oh sorry i was thinking that you mean click the second link

icy brook
#

uh, where can I activate the charm notch cost randomizer?

limber egret
#

You need the latest version of rando that isn't on the installer.

icy brook
#

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.

real jacinth
#

when did you download the installer and where from

daring urchin
#

I play hollow knight on Xbox Game Pass for PC. Is there anyway to mod the game on game pass?

real jacinth
#

but this hasn't been confirmed to work or be safe. so try at your own risk

narrow cipher
#

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.

real jacinth
#

from where

#

try this

rancid bane
#

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

real jacinth
#

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

rancid bane
#

ok thanks

rancid bane
#

nevermind it works now

ocean sundial

where can i install the mod Vasi? the modinstaller wont let me, so where can i do it manually?

hardy tendon
#

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.

Saw skurry's video with a lot of new cursed options for the randomiser, or is that not a public build yet?

There are cursed options but this had new cursed options. I'll go check over at randomiser

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)

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 🙂

real jacinth
#

you click installed? boxes for what you want

rustic current
rustic current
real jacinth
#

you're required to install the boxes for modding api and modcommon

#

wdym ALL

#

you installed every mod?

rustic current
rustic current
real jacinth
wheat orchid
#

Well to enable something you kind of have to install it

ocean nexus
#

is the dll alone enough to use a mod?

wheat orchid
#

What mod

real jacinth
#

that is the mod

#

so yes

ocean nexus
#

still rando

real jacinth
#

assuming you have everything else

#

including the game

#

and supporting mods

ocean nexus
#

yeah i have the game in the right version and with modinstaller but i never installed rando and i just have the dll

real jacinth
#

the dll files are (in most cases) the fully packaged mod

#

so yes

ocean nexus
#

ok great thx

#

(you can tell i have no knowledge in that xD)

wheat orchid
#

You’ll probably need Serecore, modcommon, Qol, and Vasi to have everything work

ocean nexus
#

dont think i have qol and really not sure if i have vasi

wheat orchid
#

Vasi is required for Qol and Qol is required for some skips

ocean nexus
#

gonna check

wheat orchid
#

Benchwarp is also recommended iirc

real jacinth
#

QoL is also just required for rando to run

wheat orchid
#

Oh ok

real jacinth
#

it's an actual dependency now

rustic current
#

If I want to install the mods, do I just check the boxes like this?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

#

Also don’t enable both randomizer 2 and 3

real jacinth
#

probably don't install every mod though

wheat orchid
#

It will mess up things

rustic current
#

Okay thank you!

real jacinth
#

install too much and you'll have a shit soup of mods

#

like mixing too many colors together

#

you just get brown

wheat orchid
#

Or at least don’t enable every mod

#

Installing is fine if you have the storage

ocean nexus
#

i have weavercore and modcommon

wheat orchid
#

You need seanprcore

#

*serecore

rustic current
#

And then they just autodownload? Or do i have to get the files from somewhere?

real jacinth
#

clicking the boxes downloads everything

wheat orchid
#

They download when clicking install?

ocean nexus
#

is the google drive in pinned messages still updated?

rustic current
#

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.

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

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.

real jacinth
#

to "input lag"

#

so when turned on, you get lag

next token
#

Oh okely dokely. Interesting that the newest patch totally fixes the input lag from V-Sync. Good on Team Cherry for 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.

native ice
umbral osprey
#

no.

native ice
#

And you're on 1.4.3.2?

umbral osprey
#

nor is there any mod version numbers in the corners.

#

yep.

native ice
#

Have you tried the "If mods still aren't working" section of the first pin?

umbral osprey
#

yeah.

native ice
#

Then open the installer and make sure the modding api doesn't say "Out of date!"

umbral osprey
#

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?

native ice
#

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

umbral osprey
#

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

native ice
#

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

umbral osprey
#

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

pulsar fog
#

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

native ice
# pulsar fog i started messing with the mods and now my controller doesnt work in hk

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

umbral osprey
#

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.

native ice
#

Yea that'll cause it

umbral osprey
#

how do i change where it installs to?

#

is there an option or do i just uninstall and reinstall?

native ice
#

Uh, I think you needa make sure that the installer is on the same drive as the one you wanna connect it to

umbral osprey
#

kk

real jacinth
#

just reset the installer

native ice
umbral osprey
#

it refuses to stop remembering my settings and i don't know why

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
