yes you can, if you take the builds manually from github.
I figured we weren’t telling people that since it would cause confusion
I know you can. I have run 1.5 for some time already
are you doing fyremoth on 1.4 on 1.5?
i mean it's not that hard TBH and if someone is willing to learn how to computer to do this i think it is good
but yes i get what you mean about not causing confusion, that's why i prefaced my comment with "if you are brave "
Yeah. If we tell people they will tell others and then we’ll get questions like: why aren’t my mods working?
is there a hitbox viewer inside of the debug mod? i cant find one rn
well if I tell them its available on 1.5, then I need to guide them through manually installing the api, and thats pain
and they're gonna open the modinstaller and break everything etc.
Toggle hitboxes in the keybinds
(its in the visuals page)
thanks
just discovered something using hollow point
with grubberfly's light and a fast firerate set up, you can break false knight's armour again while his head is out, and if you can break the armour while it's already broken, false knight just flies into space and disappears
or debug
Holy shit that's hilarious
changed mark of pride sprite into gay pride through custom knight, theres multiple so you can choose
hey so i need some help installing the modinstaller
what are the best mods for a vanilla like game experience while still offering alot of changes
So... you are asking for a vanilla experience with a lot of changes?
Explain
more like things that dont ruin the game like the gun mod or lots of changes but still bring a new experience
that's a really confusing request
^
thats fair but its hard to explain
you want a new experience, but not a new experience
nvm i guess

Fyremoth probably fits I guess?
All the mods I can think of under that description are still in development
Pale court, the sanctuary, fyremoth
or like.... test of teamwork?
Oops
or.... randomizer?
Forgot
job changes looks to fit that pretty well
That was not going to be on my list but ok
the gun mod
If only there was like a readme to check what mods do
If only there was a doc that made finding readmes easier
When pale court will release? i forgot
Hi, is it possible to run the modinstaller on the latest version on steam ?
no
Hello? I've only recently got hold of Hollow Knight and I heard of a discontinued team white palace event that could allow you to get a Pale king skin for CustomKnight. Is there still a way to get it?
Why the question mark after hello ?
np
No. I just wanted to know. Also, did you resolve your issues?
well i don't go play games after diner, so no
Ok
i'll be online tommorow, and then i have more than enough time :)
I play games before, after and during dinner
eat food online
Ikr. Who needs real food?
have it transfer energy via cable
Nah. 5G makes you not feel hunger anymore
Some random guy on YouTube said so and I also heard it in a Facebook group
Anyone know if there's a HK mod with a boss like this in it?
Don’t think so

I guess. IDK.
is downlaoding a ton of mods a bad idea or do they work well together?
That greatly depends on the mods, and your CPU
If two mods attempt to affect the same thing it might have a negative effect on your game. You should also read the readme documents for the mods.
Please do not download a bunch of mods and then expect help because you did a bunch of stuff that broke your game. It's very tedious.
Why is dimentio the first thing I see when I look at a hollow knight modding channel 
where is the white palace map from additional maps?
im kinda dissapointed that the tanjiro skin doesnt breath instead of focus
In the kings workshop
anyone have a link for a working mod installer. every one i find is trash
in #archived-modding-help or maybe this channel
thanks
why are you now hoo hnows
Does any1 here have inferno god grimm file mod 
anyone know if there's a mod that means you can't get achievements so i can mess with mods without ruining my steam achievements
anyone here?
no
not a mod but there's a way but you may not like it
you could buy another copy on gog for modding, that should not mess with your steam achievements
I mean mod wouldn't be that hard
Just a on hook
Hopefully
wait as in
i can have modded 1.5?
i would like to do that
There are clear downsides to it :
- most mods are not updated
- installer does not work yet , and you have to manually install stuff
- things might change over time so you'd have to re-do things
but, if even with all that you want to try then :
you can get the 1.5 api here https://github.com/hk-modding/ and say the pre-release of customKnight here https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/releases/tag/1.5-candidate and then install them manually and it should work.
Only links CK 
that's because i recall them mentioning they wanted skins lol
This is what I think of everytime I see you talk about your version,@swift bison

hello all. i'm running item randomizer and i have troubles finding something. i look at the log and the item is not listed. is something wrong?
Head to #randomizer. Also you might want to be more specific.
thank you
i have no idea why but i thought in the shower last night "what if watcher knights had fungal warrior mechanics" and was like that should be a mod
multiplayer allows different people to wear different skins?
hkmp does, but it needs to be set up on the server and all clients
that's a fake by aluo
Hey does anyone know where can I find these item sheets where i can mark all the items that I get in a randomizer?
the silk threads are missing from my test of teamwork mod
go talk to hornet in front of the black egg
To clarify, specifically the Host (or server) needs to have the setting enabled, and then all people need to make sure that they all have the skins that plan on being used, and all have the IDs set the same way
so I am having a very strange issue with the modding API, I go to the api as usual, install a new mod along with having modcommon installed and enabled, launch the game and a white box with the hollow knight symbol appears and dissapears, without launching the game. well I go and uninstall and re-install the game and then launch it again. it boots up this time, but no mods are installed at all. I go to my hollow knight data folder and then to managed, mods, and the only thing I found is a skin that I manually put in their about 2 months ago. I was wondering if anyone could help me with my problem since my head is aching trying to figure it out
newest update, check the first pin in #archived-modding-help
ok well I really appreciate it, thank you for assisting my dumbass lmao
any Custom Knight skins that arent in that Google Drive by Team White Palace?
like the Pale King skin is really good.
alright, qiuck question, im looking to just screw around and see what the limits to the game are, i've heard that you need to backport for modding? if so can saves be back ported (current to most recent for modding) and is there a mod that specificy gives unlimites charm slots? ie i could put on every charm possible?
ping me if someone answers
- yes, but you should probably back up your saves if you want to mod the game, other than that there's a guide in #archived-modding-help pins
- yes, the mod is called infinite notches on the modinstaller
thx!
hard mode
well, there’s another google drive full of skins not made by twp
one more question then, where are the 'raw' save files, ie i just copy that file adn put it somewhere and if i want to grab it later just paste it back in?
nvm
that one too
i meant any /others/
Pale King wasnt in either so i was just curious
thank you!
dwarfwoot did all the work heh
I don't think Lime's skins are in that post? They have a Pale King one iirc
yeah i think someone should put lime's skin into that
Nice, I happened to need this pile
wait lime's aren't available in the common drive?
I haven't double checked lol
I just know that Lime has a Pale King skin iirc, but that person said that they couldn't find it
nope
one second, i found it last night
bing bong
does anyone have any cool HUD skins outside of all those folders? i like Stary Knight skin but i dont like the HUD.
You can technically mix and match parts of skins
yeah i knew that, but i didnt find any that fit to my liking. 😦
i like Void HUD because it goes from black colored mask to white on damage so i can see my health better out of the corner of my eye, but it doesnt fit as much as id like either.
i was just wondering if anyone knew of any cool HUDs.
Oh I see
just wanted to share this here
please tell me thats a skin and not just an edit because i really want it
it's a hat mod
probably will remain separate
you can do more than just hats with it though
glow 
im using randomizer and having trouble finding dash, i enabled jiji hints but when i go to unlock the door it tells me "elderbugvs words echoed there is a time and place for everything but not now" do i have to reach a certian point before i can unlock the door?
You need 2 keys iirc to make sure you don't lock yourself out
oh so i just need to find another key?
Yeah :D
alright thank you
?saves
Head to your save files and you can check Randomise Helper Log
Or get Randomapmod

aparently not
I swear. With that rickroll people are gonna ask why their mods stopped working because they updated to 1.5
For boss essence, is GPZ essence randomized?
to be honest, it was funny though
Yes
It wasn't that funny tho
i had quite a lot of fun
it's only funny if it doesn't end with another significant "when it's done" wait all over again. 
can i get a link to this mod
Pale Court was awesome! Can't wait for the sanctuary
do you guys think #archived-modding-help should have threads? (and maybe other channels such as #hk-help, and #speedrunning)
I don't think discord gives perms for channel specific threads
it does
Nice
Expectibg them to compile it themselves 
effort required

What's wrong?
once again i spent time on making details that arent even noticable
i don't know what to do with this 
that looks pretty good
it looked really weird when shade and particles too different as they all appear behind it
dw i'll complain to dandy for a bit
how do i install it

the game files path

and place the dll there
no guarrantee that that release will not break stuff
make the shade and the orb partially transparent, i swear it makes white shades so much better.
im gonna switch the cowboy hat for the hat kid hat
@nimble lichen is there a size/dimension limit on the hat image?
you know that that's the first hat i used right ? i think you should know that
oh lmao nice
my computer won't let me download the dll :(
nope, just make sure to edit the offset values in settings.json to fit it on the knight
ah okay
the settings.json would be in mods/hats/settings.json (not in saves)
thanks!
oh its almost the same as ck then with how you can switch stuff out i assume?
i can make pk texan now hell yeah
there's no UI but you can modify the settings file to pick any hat and enable / disable it for other characters / objects
ohh okay
no yeehaw-st too great
oh yeah i didnt think about that thats probably better
oh thats so cool!!!
oh yeah you made the crown 3d
now that's much easier to tell lol
it looks really good
yayy
yeah i tried to make some sort of outline the time you suggested that but it didnt look good but the crown thing came out of that
another thing that you could try is something i did for the white shade i made : copy the thing on another layer move it slightly to the left and to the bottom and change the blend mode
creates a nice 3d effect on the shade
it does require to edit the completed atlas though
i'm glad it helped , if even indirectly lol
pfffft
I love how at least 2 people changed their status after the whole “pale court release rickroll” incident
Pale court is still coming right?
Its in development still
NO
I got nailsmith
but I dont have 800 geo, only pale ore
why do randos do this to meeeee
Oof
does modding work on a save file that started out non modded?
yup

You know the fireball skip area where hornet appears for the first time? I just pulled off a successful mosquito pogo twice in that room before realizing the top and bottom areas loop into eachother
oof, that sucks
Oh, that's a softlock alright. Benchwarp mod is very pog
PALE C
URT
is blackmoth compatible with randomizer gameplay wise? or vanilla recommended?
Vanilla recommended? No mod is vanilla
oh sorry, let me rephrase. is blackmoth meant to play the original storyline? or can it stack with randomizer? would it mess up the routes or something
You can always try.
Rando won't be "logical" with it, because you'll have dash already
but w/e
okay. i'll try the og gameplay for now. thanks!
Pale room
#randomizer can help you better
👍 didn't even realize that was a channel
What mods are compatible with the new patch?
Hello everyone! So um, I suppose Ruttie is Ruttie#3005 in this server, right? If so, he asked me to ask about him. Basically, if you're seeing him work on something related to smol Hornet, I'm the one who's responsible for the concept haha. Thought I'd introduce myself c:
Almost none
there's that pale court teaser thing from yesterday
Almost? What is?
Fyremoth, debug, sfcore, vasi, frogcore
I don’t think they all have a public download link
the public sfcore version is fucking broken 
hey
HowwowKnyight is public and has a release
a lot of mods are if you know how to build them 
and even more are if you know how to code
3/5 have public link
Is there by chance a sisters of battle mod similar to infinite NKG?
As in: increasingly fast sisters of battle that don't die
@steady elbow
I noticed Geo Rock & Grubs where changed in Randomizer to show visible jars / rocks when being randomized in the world. I think it's a great change for speedruns and runs alike but I miss the surprise of not knowing what we are going to get. It would be nice to re-introduce them as shinnies again in some "Surprise mode"-setting where all items are always shinnies.
I understand it might not be on your priority list or even on a list at all, but maybe it could be considered at some point regardless. Just wanted bring it up ^^ thanks for reading.
Yes, that is a feature under consideration for future releases.
Anyone got a link to the skin remixer?
@nimble lichen
Thanks 
its pale court out
Yes
Hey quick question, is there any chance at all that the mod installer will EVER be usable on the current patch? It’s not a huge deal if it can’t be since I can just switch to beta, but I’m just curious.
maybe
waht is even the difference between the mod patch and the newest one
unity and .net framework versions
back-end game engine changes basically
game runs slightly better
hi everyone, I tried to install multiplayer mod (I used this like 1 year ago and it worked) but now it seems like the mod google drive where all mods were is now gone

In Enemy Randomizer, can you not do Dream bosses?
Normal bosses seem protected from being randomized
But like Lost Kin got replaced and can't initiate the fight
I do hope nothing of importance in my item randomizer is behind any of them
Could also just turn off the enemy randomizer and do the fights and turn it back on, shouldn't mess things up I hope?
not sure if this is the place to ask, but anyone knows if pale court will be for 1.4 or 1.5?
where can i find the most up to date mod installer
oh, a little reading and i figured it out. who woulda guessed
is there a place in specific where we can find the readmes for mods?
nevermind i found what i was looking for
is there a mod that gives you all of the mask shards/soul fragments? I want to do white palace again but don't want to have to do the hassle of getting all of the masks
nvm I got a solution
Is there a mod that gives hive knight a dream boss?
No but there's 2 or 3 that just make the fight harder
I only know lifeblood master, what’s the other one?
nah I fixed that by now
Rather than 70 per second they spawn at the underwhelming rate of 12 sets per second
quick question wtf is the mod installer application image
but the omega version
XD
Honestly, I wish that that was how the Hive Knight mod bosses we're implemented. That's be cool.
Unfortunately, this server is officially English only.
You can use this to help with translations though: https://www.deepl.com/en/translator
ok, thanks, I'm Latino, so a friend sent me this server and since it is logically from hollow knight, I got in but I thought there was a space for Spanish, it would be incredible for Latinos to love this game XD

yoo new fyremoth trailer
Hollow Knight: Fyremoth is an exhaustive combat and gameplay overhaul that's designed to be more difficult than the base game. Encounters are more plentiful, enemies are stronger and nail damage has received a slight nerf. As comeuppance, spells are designed to be more powerful and charms like Sprintmaster are now permanent abilities.
Join our ...
it said hard as balls and i lost all interest lol
rest of the stuff looked really cool though, might debug mod it.
Sad theres no easy way to get all the items like using debug mod or something
There will be
Just like we have howwowknyight intergration
pay up then sure someone will make it
What's a good mod pack I should play?
Randomiser, multiworld randomiser, hell mod if you want a challenge, modded bosses, i recommend IKG, corrupted kin, tribe of battle or ultimatium radiance, custom knight, quality of life are also some dandy things to have i mean anyrad
Yes
the only mod pack that exists is the 'arts' mods pack

hey anyone know what program to use to make a custom knight skin
spritepacker, the tutorial is in the pins
Ok thank you, I didn't know there was pins for that
I'm trying to use the krita plugin someone made but I don't know how to dump the GODump.dll file
Hello everyone. Where can i find the mod installer?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
for the non steam hollowknight
it works on GOG
Everytime I lead the modinstaller to the directory of my GOG hollowknight it gives an error "Invalid Directory ..."
it should be the one with the hk.exe in it
yes.
But it still gives the error
I just wanted to be sure. The one that we are talking about is the 500+ kb mod installer?
drop a descriptor in #archived-modding-help and someone can help you on it, i have no knowledge of GoG
yea
Ok. That's the thing that gives error. I'm looking for the Modinstaller 2 I think it was 90+ mb. I've seen it in the forum before.
MI2 will be in #archived-modding-help pins
TY
i dunno anything about krita sorry
no need to use godump, just download and extract this folder to your saves location
Oh wow your fast alright thank you
when I do that now and try to use the sprite loader it still says "you have not dumped any sprites from godump yet"
my b, the Knight folder has to be a subdirectory of a folder called sprites, so %USER%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\sprites\Knight
alright I got it in there, I can open it now but its just a blank white canvas
did you load one of the animation folders, e.g. 001.Idle
what krita version is this?
4.4.3
try installing this plugin version
if that doesn't work, upgrade to the latest krita version, 4.4.5
ok upgrading rn
is it possible to mod cracked gog hollowknight?
Buy the game
it didn't work D;
I can just edit them from the sprites folder pic by pic and make them into a spritesheet some other way later
you downloaded the zip and imported it using Tools > Scripts > Import Python Plugin from File, enabled it in Settings > Configure Krita > Python Plugin Manager, and restarted krita?
if you're willing to continue trying, install ffmpeg and assign its path in your environment variables
did you use italy's version of godump
actually, before that, do the animation folders have AnimInfo.json files in them
I'll have to do it later i left to the park
I dobt think that they did though
So I thought your knight download was the same as another that was pinned her and used that instead but I see that your has the json file
When I get home ill have to try it out
anyone know when modinstaller updates?
3 am
no need to post in multiple channels, unless you want the grey role or be banned
so im currently doing a run using a skin "Uninfected Vessel", and a friend asked about modding Broken Vessel/Lost Kin to look like an infected Henry Knight 🤔
how would i go about having a skin like that made? even if i were good at drawing/digital art, i wouldnt know how to mod that into the game.
i saw someone mention a Sprite Editor but it was while i was half asleep and i havent been able to find it. but would that even be able to modify bosses?
You can modify boss sprites using a mod named swapster
im having a bit of trouble figuring out how to use it, but thank you for pointing me the right direction!
so to modify Broken Vessel, i would edit a spritesheet of BV, then put it in mods/Swapster/GG_Broken_Vessel/ and name it "Infected Vessel.png"?
and whatever the BV arena room in Hallownest is called (dont have any saves to pull it up quickly enough)
Is there any news of plans for team cherry to add mod support to consoles?
nope
Ah, too bad.
plus not many console companies are good with having mods on their consoles, but then again i don't know shat about consoles
It’s not necessarily the mods. It’s what mods stand for. Mods are literally the ability to run unverified code on a system. Meaning homebrew/piracy would be very easy. Just find a game that loads mods, get a mod loading and start messing with the system
i meant, not many console companies are ok with having modified code on their console
Because it can easily lead to piracy
this is why pc gaming is better
Is there a mod that removes the annoying road blocks that form in the forgotten crossways after the infections and maybe the door to the city. It’s annoying that they are first open but then never open again.
just no-clip through them with debug
Does that even work for stuff like the infection blocks? The door is completely filled to the next room
ye
Alright. A bit annoying still but whatever. It’s really stupid those two city doors never re open and they block paths in cross roads. Probably happens elsewhere too but I haven’t gotten that far in the game.
Is there a way to know when each sprite of the HUD sheet happen ?
Yes, use Go Dump and Sprite Packer.
Both can be found in the pins of #archived-modding-development
oh i cant wait till thats done its gonna be cool
is there a tutorial on creating custom knights?
theres a tutorial in the pins on how to use spritepacker which is the program you use to edit sprites
@dusk crescent this one?
yeah
ook ty ty
is it still possible for me to get the Onigiri and Fool skin if i complete the challenges?
or are the challenges closed?
they still say they're open so yes
oh okay, cool! here is where i was checking and it didnt say anything about being open though, which is why i asked
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14MNYK-NjrwgZLG93xVYibrVZJj-S1NOT5xfhtojPOgY/edit#
is there a mod for having all charms off the bat?
Debug can do that
how to access debug?
it should be built into the mod installer
idk about modinstaller 1 tho but i'm using modinstaller 2
there are 2?
after that u can press f1 to toggle it
yeah tho as far as i know the only reason to use one over the other is preference
how do i get the second one
it should be somewhere in the discord
i found it by searching
"from: 56 "mac" and then scrolling down
there's mac and windows versions i think
might also be a linux not 100%
in modding help?
i didn't search in a chat
here lemme see if i can quote the message
do u use mac or windows
or linux
pinned messages of #archived-modding-help contains a modinstaller for mac, message is titled "mac"
another high quality PV skin pog 
the fact that they're on the list means they're open 
The challenges that have already ended aren't there

That's my first skin ever, not sure it will be high quality

5th pinned message
Is there a version of the Lightbringer mod but without Empress Muzznik? It kind of kills the early game since she's nigh impossible to beat without tons of upgrades and it locks Sly off for a long while unless I decide to chance not using the Lumafly or go through a whole bunch of other areas.
Even the Lumafly?
there's not many areas that require the lantern
1 room in CPeaks, 1 room in howling cliffs, and only the western-most deepnest rooms.
and I guess the toll room to get to cpeak
the masks in the hud are definitely high quality tho, good enough for me 
Just one thing, though - will you make a new Hatchling for Glowing Womb?
Suppose I'm just used to hitting Sly early
But if his inv is different then I guess that makes sense
the toll can't be used, but the other room can be traversed blind, I think
Oh wow every one of them? Damn I thought it was just the Nail related ones and wayward
Does that include Grimm Troupe?
Just tryna work out if I can cheese with Carefree Melody lmao
not a great charm for cheese tbh
Meant it as more of a crutch than actual cheese
it's not great for that either
pretty awful charm
takes forever to get, and the proc chances are bad
I'll try to do everything
But it's definitely gonna take a while

ok thank you
Question would be know this letter ? It is this, ñ
How is this related to modding?
oh god
wha
wow
If we want someone to join a multiplayer server do we post the code here?
did u make this?
yes
I hate you
love you too
are you implying he's sus
i never vented i swear 😳
Hunt is always sus

nice
did u manually place each on them ? that's a lot of patience lol
@nimble lichen now hold your skin creator speech
there was no speech planned lol

dandy not being prepared is a new one
i was hoping hunt had made some script i could steal tbh
nah sadly
i want a proper among us skin now
I have a room randomizer ongoing, is it possible to start a normal game(not randomizer) within hk or do i have to unenable it from modinstaller and if so will that break my existing randomizer save
You want to disable Rando to start a regular playthrough.
So long as you don't open your Rando file without Rando installed, it will be fine. You could also back it up if you are worried.
wait i know an artist
they make cool skins and mods
intresting, using mods gives me godseeker mode
calling beans defender cool 
calling owo skin good 
lmao
i wanted to see if it could work as a hat, you have to set the y to 0.5
could do more fiddling to get it to fit properly though
bit more left and try 0.4 or 0.45
yeee
idk if it allows for going left
if the hat turns with the knight that would be perfect lmao
it does its just annoying that i have to close and reopen the game for every tiny change
hat settings hotreload soon™️
i need to add the ability to animate the hats to knight's movement but i got no clue how to

Yooo hollow sussy
i need some help i have an older version of the game and i cant use modinstaller what do i do
update it through steam/gog
i cant rly do that the game is not installed through a launcher

so what do i do
buy the game
buy the game ig
Api prob won’t get hot reload since you can’t unload assemblies and appdomain stuff is broken with unity
*This has been attempted before
can you restart the game via code ?
how would you make the game close and reopen it from the closed program
Process.start?
for example, if one could start a shell script in a separate non child process , it could kill and restart the game (and then save state type functionality would load the same scene)
That seems like more work than what it’s worth
this would not be true hot reload , but would save some time when writing mods
Also you’d need to somehow copy the mod file(s) between the game closing and opening outside the script
yeah that should not be that hard i think if you're giving an external script control anyway
Well you’d need to rewrite it every time you need to copy another file
apparently you can just restart in unity it would be platform specific though https://answers.unity.com/questions/1302087/how-to-restart-application.html
That brings the problem of being unable to replace the mod files though
i'd have all my csproj builds copy to a "install" folder and whenever a new file is found there start a script to copy all files and restart game
I mean restarting in unity though, there’s no time to copy the mods
it would be triggered by process.start
but it would be a script that copies , then starts the game basically
I mean this
If you’re running that in the game
yeah it does a "Process.Start"
Starting a new process of the game and exiting at the same time
no reason why it cant start a script and quit
and the script can start the game
when its done copying things
But that specific answer you gave showed starting specifically the game
Not another script
Another script makes sense
for that matter a modified mapi could do the copying from an install directory
as long as the assemblies in install directory are not loaded it should be fine
Isn’t the game still open though?
Hold on a sec are we still taking about the answer in the link you sent or starting a custom script?
a refinement of the two ideas
let me phrase it better one moment
modding api doing this :
1 . copy dll from /install into /mods
2. load dlls from /mods
... normal mapi stuff
n. if a new file is added in /install , reboot the game using the answer in link (again goes to 1 )
now all your csproj files can build and copy into /install
Ah I see now
Good idea
proceeds to make boot loop
But actually though it’s a good idea
and if the reboot part can be handled then its just a matter of saving scene & position of player to be restored on start if quit by the restart logic
can someone help me get the onikiri texture??
still didnt mention anything about challenges being opened or closed. also yes, i saw. thats where i got the link.
how is someone new supposed to know that there were even previous challenges if they arent there?
You don’t need to if they aren’t there anymore
Also amazing timing, just got out of band practice
anyway, it was just a question. dont know why i got such attitude. especially when the info i got it from wasnt very clear.
Do the challenge

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
Its referring to where HK is installed, if it is located at that Path press yes, if it isnt press no( you'll then be asked to find the folder where your game is actually installed ) oh yeah btw, i just noticed that were in modding discussion, this is probaly better suited for modding help

<@&283547423706447872>
I've
been trying to get mod installer to work for over a week not but
no success. Either it tells me it's the wrong path or else Hollow Knight
is the wrong one
I know some folks around here have had problems with this. Any
ideas?
Use #archived-modding-help
Check through the pins 
Also make sure that you have the most recent Mod Installer, and that you didn't leave it in the Downloads folder.
does hell mode affect your preexisting save files ?
if you load them yes
sadge
Oh hell yeah, Iselda just sold me unbreakable heart for 240, screw you divine, Im not paying 12k
what exactly is the most stable recent patch, because unless steam had a hidden auto update I've got no idea
1.4.3.2
?pins
Head to #archived-modding-help and check the first pinned message
noted
Does anybody have any suggestions for (existing) skins that have cool alternate art for charms, like Daughter of Hallownest does? I like the ones on there, but not all charms are changed, and wanted to see some that other skins have. What are the ones people like?
i like moss knights charms
Ooh, yeah. I like the non-Grimmchild ones of those, for sure. Might have to grab them.
dedlimes pk skin has a really cool baldur one
I think I remember seeing that in the making. I'll check it out. 😊
does anyone know how to download any rad?
why did you ban XeviousBread
you know, technically speaking, room rando steel soul is a roguelike
Hey, I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rdu37EiRJ4
which in the description I noticed it had challenges and to check the pinned message, but there's nothing in the pins about this skin, which obviously means it's since gone and passed. As the video is almost a year and a half old, has the skin w/ Hud and soul abilities been released to the public, (I know there's a pure vessel variant in the pinned skins message, but it's only the skin, no updated hud or whatnot)
A new skin made by Lazycat (TWP), but as it's a private skin there won't be links about how to download it here. Lazycat really likes this skin and had add a story to it. This vedio was made by Lazycat, and reprinted by authorization. You can find it here. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1AV411d7Bd
According to the will of the original author,...
there was never a challenge for it unfortunately, it's a private skin 
.-. rip
does anyone know of the any radiance download i can't seem to find it
also does anyone know of a mod that automaticly opens up absolute radiance because i don't want to have to do all of the oantheons even with debug mod
can you use debug to noclip into the absrad challenge room?
Yes
does the game have online co op with mods
is that a thing
ive seen online pvp and stuff
yes you can but you caan't fight absrad
how do i use the krita plugin to make customknight skins? i dont get exactly how it works
Tools > Scripts > Import Python Plugin from File
Settings > Configure Krita > Python Plugin Manager > check Sprite Loader
Restart Krita
Tools > Scripts > Load Sprites
italy have you made a GODump for 1.5 yet or will i have to make one?
I've kinda made one, but it dumps every collection instead of just the ones specified in settings
oh well ig i can use the sprites for 1.4, i doubt much has changed
are you trying to do something w godump?
getting the sprites of grimm
do you want them w or w/o the red border
i googled that, my problem is how do i like make it recognize the sprite folder
w
press win+R
and type %appdata%
then go back one folder
then LocalLow > Team Cherry > Hollow Knight
make a folder called sprites
and put all the folders there
or, if you have a folder called sprites, place that in hollow knight
thx
1.5 GODump
ok so
now what
edit it
how do i make it do the playback thing tho
Settings > Dockers > Animation Timeline
ok new problem i have no fucking idea how to use anything in this program

im actually going to be scrapping my skin project and remake them in spritepacker instead of sse
mostly because i kinda dont like how the previous one looks
time to uhhh remake shit
spritepacker not good for high quality skins
what
what
idk ask dwarf
@vagrant orbit what
i think i already did something wrong
what?
there arent any other sprites its just this one>:|
^
i did that but theres no "animation timeline" so i checked both animation and timeline but nothing happened
check your krita version in Help > About Krita
it says 4.4.5
oh wow 4.4.7 was released today
The issue main that came up ended up not being because of sprite packer.
I have seen sprite packer attributed as the reason some skins have extra white fuzziness around them- but I haven't used it personally to confirm that or not.
did they do 2 updates in like 5 hours
oh you said something about bit depth and spritepacker my bad then
try going to the top right, clicking the box, and selecting smth with animation in the name
there's a bunch of workspace layouts there
I TURNED ON EVERY DOCKER
idk what this means
Window > Workspace > Animation
what the fuck happened
this is why i dont like krita 
what resolution and size is your screen
This is a case of you not knowing how to use Krita to make animations. I suggest you look on YouTube for a tutorial.
i dont need to know much just how to use a damn brush properly, onion skin and how to playback the sprites
You can learn that on a YouTube tutorial
if gimp could do animations/ spritesheets werent absolute garbage none of this would have happened 
thats better
there we go thats more like it
im gonna stop bothering yall for a bit now
the white fuzzyness might be due to some layers having properties such as luminosity and multiply because sprite packer cant pack those properly
i had to go over so much of hat knights sprites because i used luminosity without knowing it did that
@grizzled steppe if you dont know how to use krita that much theres no point in using it for sprites imo because it becomes a fucking headache, the previews in sprite packer are mostly fine
well time to see what the hell im supposed to do with sprite packer
The Krita extension was made because the person who made it used Krita. If you're used to another program, use that
im not used to any animation programs and it seems that i cant edit anything within spritepacker which is gonna make this awfully hard
do you have an image editing software that you are familiar with?
plus everythings in like chinese
paint 3d but that kinda sucks
i also have gimp but i dont understand half of gimp, but i know it better than krita
i guess itd just be better to learn krita then
i did ALL OF THIS in gimp when it finally clicked "maybe just maybe this will end up just as bad as last time i used the spritesheet"
OOF
hopefully this is faster and testable
yeah itll def be more testable
so um
yea
do i just like edit the idles one by one and look at how shit it ended up in the spritepacker preview or what?
or is there something that helps to align them
youre still using sprite packer to get them onto the atlas right? i dont know how this plugin works
honestly i have no idea what im doing
hmmm, does this recreation of SpritePacker have the same issue?
ill test it in a bit
i think the plugin just helps to import the sprites into krita easier so you still need to manually save and pack in sprite packer,,?
once the sprite youre doing is saved and shows up on the preview you select the original atlas on the list in the middle and click check, if it needs to replace something replace it by clicking the edited sprite name in the dialogue box at the top then check again, it should let you pack then
well, this one requires that you have AnimInfo.jsons in each animation folder
as a heads up
you dont do that
I’m going to attempt to make a skin mod what should I make
among us
make the knight wear a scarf
Oooh ok that’s actually a good idea now what color
red
K
if you draw it on a separate layer and save the scarf separately you could probably make a version without the knight so people can edit the colour of the scarf to what they want
True true I’ll do that
aaaa i love the fact that you are also advocating separate layers
my newest version of the plugin makes a base layer structure
i tell other people to do it but am too lazy to do it myself lmao
im gonna try to do it for my next one though, im gonna restart that one anyway because i dont like how it looks rn
it is okay we can do extraction magic as long as the colors are unique anyway
ok so turns out scarves arent easy to draw especially when you are bad at drawing
time to do something else until im like actually good but i will remember this in fact i will write it down
has someone made it so he always looks like the shade already?
yeah its in one of the drives
darn
ok wait now im distracted i want to download that
ok im gonna do something simple like just a color change or something
imma make his cloak purple cuz purple is cool
and his mask face thingy a slightly brighter purple but not quite pink
or like blue or somethin ill think about it, light blue sounds pretty cool
i fucked up a sprite, can i revert it to normal sprite with spritepacker?
i dont think so but i might be wrong, you could download the knight godump again and replace it manually though
is it bad that this entire thing took an hour like wtf i am that slow?
oh shit wifi died for lik 5 seconds

nah youre fine the hud sprites are hard to do
How do I get the fool skin
?
I already did the challenge
And all that stuff
Maybe benji is busy?
did you dm benji?
Yep
just wait from them to reply
With my video
you can't expect someone to be online 24/7
oh god hunts using the among us skin in the pvp tourney
i hate it
says the person who made me when beans dung defender skin
shut up this is worse
are you going to watch the stream much?
cus dwarf is asking if someone can keep track who is having issues with mulhimas mod
which mod?
some people have more health then the mod displays
the health bars
ah yeah there were some issues earlier where the ui said they had no health but they were still alive
ye, can you keep track of which people that happens to?
i got the idle animation done now how do i put it in the spritesheet so its saved there
is it packed to the spritesheet?
you can check by opening the generated file in the sprites folder
gtg merm don't forget to keep track!
is it still going?
yeah
mkay
lmao
Lmao I'm doing randomizer run and I got mantis claw and monarch wings from kings pass
nice
hey does anyone know how the menu stuff changes (like dash, double jump, ect) in the daughter of hallownest mod with the hornet skin?
sharper contrast between facets?
you could reference the cdash sprites
are you still able to do the TWP skin challanges?
freeman knight abyss shriek concept
@late lodge

atrioc
booshmasta

i probably should have noted down times and not just names
does anyone know if it could be required to go dirtmouth via a stag station in an item randomizer with a random start?
I thought probably but then my friend got a stag station to dirtmouth item so I'm wondering if it is something I'm not supposed to do
It can be required, yes. You can't get into Dirtmouth via stag station without finding the Stag.
There is still a check there though-- it replaces the lever
Puts immortal primal aspids that follow you everywhere into Path of Pain. You can configure the mod to have multiple primal aspids, or even crystal hunters! Take a look at global settings of this mod to configure it to your own preference
@tacit depot
oh god
is charm overhaul the mod that adds things you can do to "upgrade" some of the charms
cuz the readme looks like the code for the mod
You might want to look at the Collection of ReadMes doc that's pinned in #archived-modding-help
i have an idea for a hollow knight mod for friday night funkin. would i talk about it in off topic, since it's not based on the hollow knight game itself and rather is just taking an idea from it OR can i talk about it here since it is technically a mod about hollow knight, just on a different game? Or would it not go anywhere in this server at all?
My guess would be Off Topic. The Modding channels here around and Mods for Hollow Knight
I don't really know the channels other than these that well
Just installed a bunch of mods
I have every charm equipped and all my spells are replaced with the radiance's attacks
and I have infinite jumps
Just beat the entire colosseum lmao
Doing a randomizer run. I have had three grubs already in Kings Landing lol
make that five
what are some other fun cosmetic (not gameplay altering) mods that might not be in modinstaller but are amusing to try out? so far I've tried customknight, howwowknyight, washerknights, and transtrans
PaletteSwapper changes the colors in the game for a new look
hello. does anyone know if the spring skin is out yet?
Spring skin was never released in English communities afaik, but it was released in Chinese ones
It came out before Summer
yeah 😦 i've been looking around hoping it gets released but a bit doubtful now
does anyone know if it would be possible to "fix" EnemyHPBar" mod so the HP bars disappear when the enemies like Moss Chargers and Dirt Carvers go back into the ground?
Do people have a dump off the custom knight skins?
DwarfWoot did you mean "no" emote as in "no i dont know" or "no its impossible"?
thank you!
I see dwarf has already seen it, again thank you! 
Oh thank you i didn't see them
give me the worst enemy randomizer seed, i want radiance everywhere
I don't think anyone really saves E Rando seeds
ping me if someone has one
Any mods yall recommend

Hell im fairly sure the time i beat him it was a fluke lol meed something easyer like super easyer
Rando
Doing that rn just need dreamers and im done pog
buzzbo 
I got an error while trying to install Qol mod:
The process cannot access the file '\tmp\HKmodinstaller/LICENSE' because it is being used by another process.
Can anyone please help me?
You should be able to just click continue and it will be fine
But if i click continue it doesn't install
In that case head to #archived-modding-help and check the pins. There's a fix in there.
Ok thank you
