for.... randomizer?
yes
no
does that mean you will do it or
can someone at least tell me how to make mods if no one will listen to me
no?
If you want to create mods, then check out the pins of #archived-modding-development . The Modding API docs on radiance host are helpful (albeit a little bit outdated)
how to mod: use C#
k
it takes a person one thing about "getting mad" for anything to happen
origins discord is better
Okay Karen
people also aren't just going to make your mod idea just because you posted it
pretty weirdchamp to expect that
maybe this person was around when I was trying to make those left and right
Now I have too much work
Also patience is pretty chill ngl
Gotta have a lot of it if asking for help online because of timezones
Despite the high chance of somebody being awake, not everyone has the time, or they’ll be in another conversation
No one is obligated to help you, everything we do from #archived-modding-help, to #archived-modding-development (unless somebody offers pay which is rare) is free
I know but I shouldn't wait 12 hours to get a single answer
you expect every modder to say "no, i'm not going to make your mod?"
that's pretty entitled
hahahahaha
"no, but also yes"
you seem like one of those people where even if your idea was amazing, I still wouldn't work with you
fr
Looks Im sorry we all came up and attacked you but you’ve got to understand that you aren’t entitled to anything from us
nothing you've done til now is banable

- I don't know how to leave 2. I know I'm not entitled to get anything from you and 3. I am not trying to be mean or unigotiatible I just think that maybe I could get an answer and not a "wow your such an idiot"
Alright
the answer is no
and nobody called you an idiot
we called you impatient
and entitled
Maybe we’re overreacting a bit
the arrow
alright now, ima take a break for now

thx for the only 2 people on earth who can stop and think
mods are here
i wonder who the 2 are cause he's not including himself 
lol
That was weird 
anyone here wanna do some hkmp?
They migrated to the hk modding discord 

wait, that person actually left
can anyone tell me where the save files are saved in linux using the GOG verison?
please
If you mean Hollow Point, check the readme, it most likely has an answer
If you mean you fired a gun at your game, I can't help
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
no no I actually found them
could you share me your files, I just wanna get to god home
?
Just bought it for linux
As in, a savefile with godhome unlocked?
yeah
Just use debug
is it possible through mods?
how you do that?
Get the debug mod
hmm
All hk versions use the same save files path…
F1
yeah
cool
Yeah I'm dumb on two different levels 
I replied to someone who deleted their message
Is there a mod or something to save in pantheon of hallownest? I don't want to cheat it, but I simply don't have the time for 53 fights in a row.
You can try debug save states, but I'm not sure that'll work.
The pantheons are done in a way that kinda prevents you from loading into the middle of one normally, iirc
I only want to unlock radiance in godhome and I need to get to her in the pantheon.
Okay? That's a statement. I'm not sure if there was a question intended to go with that?
It was a statement as why I want to finish the pantheon, if I could unlock her without the pantheon that would be good too. Is there a way to do it?
just turn on invincibility with debug
then you can't die
you could also increase your damage to like 2k so you fly through fights
That's a good idea. And I'll let her kill me so I don't cheat finish it.
Thanks!
hm
even though the onikiri skin is unavailable
i wonder what the challenge was
curious
(Just got redirected from hk-discussion)
I've been working on a mod where Collector jars constantly fall from the ceiling
Here's what I'm thinking for the enemy lineup
ah yes the exclusive collectors edition
What is the best any radiance build?
all the charms
Except Joni's Blessing
mod that gives the knight charm notches on the sprite with filled notches showing the charm
I'm pretty sure no-- that's why it was unpinned. The challenge only went on for a year, and it's been over that.
I know the answer to this, but just to be 100%, is the modmanager safe?
Well, there is nothing that is recommended here called "modmanager"
So, if you found something that is that, then the answer is probably
, or at least it's not something that the main community supports and has verified
For what is safe and recommended, check the #archived-modding-help pins 
so Scarab is safe?
Yea
Oh dang
Really wanted those skins ;-;
I broke my Hollow Knight by moving all the files from Daughter of Hallownest Skin over.
show your files
I'm fresh installing. Wanna see if it happens again. Just wanna know if it happened to anyone else
The "full install" version doesn't work on current patch.
You would need to downpatch to 1432 to do that
that explains it then
This isn’t exactly “modding” but really the closest channel to what my thing is related to.
I am working with somebody I hired on fiverr to make a hollow knight version of geo guessr and this is how it is so far. (The location is incorrect but they just did a random one for an example video)
oh thats pretty cool

Whats that mod that makes menus and text very quick?
qol
tysm
I somehow managed to get 4 soul vessels
are there any good cheats for hollow knight that will run on macos? I'm a really casual player, and a lot of the gameplay can be really hard for someone who isn't really good at these kinds of games. I just want to experience the game.
I'm having problems with the modding file its asking me to do it manually and I can't really find the installation path
Is it asking you where to install it at?
Heyyy, was wondering if there's a mod that like tracks things? Or like a checklist, is there?
hey can anyone please help me I am using using hollow knight V 1.5.68.11808 and the radiance mod is not installing it just shows a error i dont know how to mod cause i am new to these stuff please try to help a bit.
god why is adding new enemy spawns so hard?
hey, what mods shoud i get as a modding begginer?
Hornet is a fun boss wdym
also markoth needs his own tier below f
TRUE
ahoy, does anybody know a mod that displays stats like enemy kills and such? (preferably not slapped in the screen at all times and that takes values from before it was installed too)
does anyone want to play multiplayer?
Hey just wondering, can people who get hollow knight off of the pc xbox app still use mods?
you can't
You should be able to
Anyone know if there's a Quirrel skin mod?
is it possible to Focus to absorb the dreamers in the Hollow Point Mod
cant wait for modinstaller to update to 1.5
you mean like... scarab?
Is there a Mod like CustomKnight that allows for full reskins instead of JUST changing the Knight Sprites?
I think there’s one that changes all the enemies to zote versions but I’m not sure
CustomKnight for 1.5 has that functionality
How do I get CustomKnight for 1.5? The Zote-Face ModInstaller I'm using needed me to downpatch.
You use scarab, the mod installer for 1.5

Thank you. I installed CustomKnight, how do I get the full-reskin thing that mandar1jn said was in CustomKnight 1.5?
Oh, I didn't see it in the folder it created.
Changes in 1.5: skins are now stored in the skins folder, swap skins with the new mod menu in the mods menu, swap almost all other sprites
Ah, alright. I suppose I should've launched the game and investigated things myself.
Huh... there's no CustomKnight Option in the Hollow Knight Mod Options Menu, is it a different Mods Menu?
Sorry if I worded that weird/incorrectly
In the top left of the screen is there text with the names of installed mods?
Yeah, and the new Mods I installed (BenchwarpFix) are there too.
Try exiting the game and installing the satchel mod
Okay, it's there now. Thank you!
Err... say I wanted to change the husks or whatever, how do I use the swapper to get, change, and swap their files?
Is it "Dump Textures"?
I think so, let me check something
I’ll give you a link to the hollow knight modding discord where we have people who know more about that around more often
Thank you.
I suggest asking in the support channel if it isn’t posted anywhere already
Is there a Hollow Knight skin?
A pure vessel skin but with thk I think not
ye there is a thk skin
Can you send link?
Thank
My Custom knight mod stopped working
I need help
I doesn't appear in the mod menu
I'm using scarab
Ok
how feasible would it be to make a mod where radiance follows you through the entire game like the angry sun from SMB3
that depends on what you know about unity and C#
Does somebody knows what the "More healing" mod in scarrab does?
Click the arrow by it's name
im not much of a professional but i think one of the major factors to play into that would be having to alter her ai
I don't know if the mod would need much in the way of changing AI; I envision an unhittable (or inf health) phase 1 radiance whose only change from the base fight is that she maintains a fixed position on the camera
obviously being able to teleport between left, middle, and right, but otherwise snapping to the camera whenever it moves
is there a mod that changes charm cost without the need to start a new game?
Is there a mod that adds portals abilities (like from Portal?)
Or Cappy captures from super mario odyssey
Yo Super Mario Odyssey mechanics in Hollow Knight sounds fun af
that would probably be really hard to make but I'd definitely love to see a mod like that
Same here
so there's mods that make the whole game platforming hell, but why isnt there a mod that makes it combat hell?
there is, it's literally called hell mod
Man I was hoping there was a skin to make the knight a pirate so I could say I pirated the game
hollow knight mod: replace dream particles with dream mask
Someone please make this
where can i find the original hollow knight spritesheet
i might
For the hollow knight or the knight’s spritesheet? And for which version of the game?
nvm
does anyone know how how to download the fool skin (or where i can find it)
Can’t get it anymore. It’s creators, twp (the white palace), has some challenge skins going on for a while (record doing a challenge in hk, submit for skin), but they’ve been seemingly gone for a while and the pinned message about the challenges was unpinned. There also were a bunch of skins from them that said they’d have a challenge in the future but never got one, only the first like 4 got them.
ok
anyone know of skins with cutscene compatibility
I got Smolaire right now
what a scam
imagine a mod where everything was faster
as in like walking, enemy attacks, cooldowns, invisibility frames everything
maybe I'm dumb but that sounds like it could be an interesting challenge
Doesn't changing the Timescale with debug mod do that?
can someone send a link to the newest patch for the mod installer
first pin in #archived-modding-help
thanks
Is there a mod that allows you to practice skips?
Help practice skips in what way
For example with the greenpath fireball skip, not having to play through the game to that point, taking the time to get the soul, and then doing it
Or for background pogos not having to leave the screen to respawn them
Debug mod has save states
Maybe this will help (ignore the parts where it says 1221 cuz both versions are the same) https://github.com/cerpintext/DebugMod#savestates
hello all, im using scarab on 1.5 and running on a mac, beat P3 but did not unlock steam achievement, any idea why?
Does anyone know if it’s possible for something like claw or wings to spawn somewhere you can’t get to without claw or wings, when playing a randomizer?
if you have duplicate major items on, yes
hey guys, new here, is there a mod that lets you play path of pain again?
QoL
thanks!
and another question, is this mod in the launcher?
i cant see it but maybe there was a name change or something
Hi, I was wondering how I would install a custom Path of Pain map? I have the scarab mod installer downloaded and I was looking for the mod Test of Teamwork, but I don't see it in the mod installer. I have downloaded the map from github, I just don't know how to install the .dll. Do I just put it in the mods folder? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
you'll probably have to downpatch for that one
it was removed from scarab because of issues
dang, okay. Thanks! But if I found other modded maps that I wanted to manually install and test, is there a directory I put that in? Or should I just stick with what the mod loader has installed?
I've seen a few maps similar to path of pain.
probably
decoration maps just add obstacles to the normal game right?
okay
Thanks!
where would I install a map pack?
where the readme says to
okay I'll just check out the decomaster github
I dont remember exactly
thanks again, appreciate it.

Wow, I just got the game Noita and was scrolling through mods after having played it a while and found a player skin of Five Pebbles. A small world...
hey guys, is Charm Overhaul compatible with 1.5?
are there any mods like it that give you cool charm combos?
Not to my knowledge
No sadly, one day maybe
But that day, alas is not today
😦
Use Debug mod to change timescale
There is infinite notches in mod installer, i had to hold myself not to install it hecause its my first playthrough
Only mod that is gonna be used in my first playthrough is custom night
So i want to start modding Hollow knight but in mac, any pointers?
there are some links
Check pins of modding help
what does the pale court mod do
Pale Court adds a bunch of stuff. Watch trailers for it on YouTube.
||Pail Curt on the other hand...||
i got trolled 
what about companion cloth
does she spawn with you in the game
or does she only follow you when you meet her for the first time
no problem
Hi; I found a video showcasing a HK skin I really liked ("Cold as Ice - by dreamlike")
It said to come here to find it, but the video is a couple years old now; is there some way to find it, or should I just start scrolling back through?
Nvm, I found it 🙂
what is the drpc mod
It lets you add info about what you're doing in hollow knight to your discord info - looks a bit like this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wysciguvvka/Hollow-Knight-Discord-RPC/main/Previews/presence.png
Does anyone know what to do when it tells you to check updates to download the mod installer because im on the latest version but cant download it
?
it says it requires the most recent stable version of the game
you are using the wrong installer for your game patch
so either use scarab, or downpatch your game
yes
ok
hollow knight on mobile
done with a gamesir x2 controller and a nintendo switch emulator so it plays natively instead of over streaming to minimize input delay
pale court when
@plucky wedge pale court is a mod in development that will introduce the great knights as boss fights
will it have isma shooting acid
Court when pale
HA
NO
🐌!
SUFFER
That actually sounds sick
I won’t be able to play it tho since you can’t download mods on PS4
Anyway let's not troll in modding-discussion
Back to #hk-lore we go!
This isn’t trolling, it’s a “crossover”
it's not trolling if it's a discussion
something seems off
What emulator
egg ns
Aren't randomizers fun
what skin and hud mod is this
You mean with hud the heart and vessel head?
Thats deathcounter mod if so @worthy swift
Hornight and death counter
hornight is so cute, I wish it were more polished 
how many of you are playing modded on mac os? 🙂
Is it good on mac os?
Hey all. 🙂 Dont know if its the right place to ask this, but is there any mod really worth it as an extra content update to the game? I only care for extra quality content worth exploring, but I dont want something that is actually more difficult than colloseum of fools/radiance/path of pain. waiting for silksong is painful 😆
I would suggest doing randos
It is not really extra content, but I think it really extends the playability
Because you are always exploring, and in usually not as ‘intended’, or as you would do in a normal playthrough
Like, you can be in city without claw, for example
And you need to explore basically every single place in hallownest because any item could be the one
randos? so even the abilities appear in random places to get?
Exactly
But they are made so that the game is still beatable
Like, they verify that a possible path still exists
Which is nuts, if you ask me 😅😂
All of the extra content mods are in development, some have been for years. I happen to be working on a bunch of them and some are getting close to being finished though
nice not too bad. although another idea is to just go for a speedrun or steelsoul run. although i was never good at speedruns, they are my nemesis.
thats amazing man, I really hope they are finished one day.
I find steel soul very nice, the extra challenge
If you go for it, I recommend getting fragile heart and strength early on
They are awesome charms, and the fragile aspect is irrelevant in steel soul
it runs like a charme, super impressed, but have not tried the modded version yet
So I had the mod installer for a while now but suddenly it says I need to update to the most recent stable patch, what should I do?
wich version you have
1.5?
look at steam
thats bc it isnt on same version it needs to be
in
mod installer is for 1.4.3.2

is there a drive of a bunch of custom knight skins?
alright ty
Remove the swaps from your replace.txt inside customknight folder
its empty
What folder is this ?
the replace folder in the customknight folder?
replace.txt*
also
the only skin i have on is the grimm knight skin
atleast to my knowledge
the floor has the rock on it and the hollow knight is blurred out with squares
when u see this ping me
Pretty sure you have more than GrimmKnight
...you put the skin in swapper and not its own file
That's a part of the swapperdemo skin
Basically shows you how to replace enemies/assets
I would just redownload the Grimm Knight skin, and then make sure to put it in the Skins folder, and not in the SwapperDemo folder
gonna give test of teamwork a shot, how much of it has no soul totems? trying to decide if I should do hiveblood or deep focus + grubsong
hey, what's with the swapper folder in the customknight mod?
It allows you to skin assets, enemies and text
lol didnt knew they released an egg patch
those are spaghetti
:spaghet:
im just gonna install gun mod in my first playthrough cas why not
knight head or nosk head
Someone needs to make a hollow knight mod where you can play hollow knight in hollow knight
notch cost rando go brrrrrr
i have dream wielder, fury, greed, core, sharp shadow, and heavy blow all at 0 cost
plus mark of pride, soul catcher, and dreamshield at 1, and twister, catcher, and hiveblood at 2
i had kingsoul at 2 before i accidentally picked up void heart 
Why?
That’s just starting a second process and somehow getting the images on a render texture
alternatively: an area where other bugs will reenact the game for you
Where is grub song
Grub song based charm
NO
:00000000
Same is for the official playstation minecraft vr and tf2
not good enough for 3 notches lol
I'm about confused by the mod Reset Charm Notches. What specifically does this do, and why would you need to reset it?
Also, does ItemChanger do anything on it's own, or is it just a Lib?
^^both for Scarab
hey i need help
is there a tangled map mod on scarab? (doing my first room rando)
hey, is there a download link for atomic radiance?
Is there any difference between 1.4.3.2 and the newest? Like a big change? Because idk how to use scarab and i am more comfortable with modinstaller
i see nothing wrong with this image
err
So where can I find a list of downloadable like
1.5 mods?
1.5 is the current version right?
I use Scarab as my mod manager
I’m just lookin to download debug
yeah it has a debug mod
Are the links to it pinned? Cuz I saw the pastebin but it just has names of em
OH WAIT or does scarab also have an on off option like the last installer
Yeah Scarab lets you enable and disable at will
yeah
Not sure what to do when you actually launch the game, but as far as Scarab goes...
pfffft
turns out tiny knight mod makes the game significantly harder than i thought it would :V
SmolKnight is best Knight
My list of the any rad winners taken mostly from YouTube uploads, please tell me if I missed someone (I probably did).
there's a google doc for it
can anyone help me make a custom skin?
figured it all mostly out
im making each animation into a gif for easier skin editing
ill send each gif here once im done
idle
dash
You should use Spritepacker if you aren't already, it does more or less just that
So you can see how your animations look
but you still have to edit each one individually
where as this way you can just open idle.gif in whatever and edit each frame of it
Yes, but with Spritepacker you can replace frames that are repeated in other animations
And I think you'll have to use Spritepacker eventually anyway, to pack the animations into a spritesheet so you can use it
Unless there's another program I'm not aware of
idk but @swift bison is making customknight+ which makes it alot easier to make skins, nowhere near finished yet tho
also i think the file name for the sprites would be the same if the sprite gets used in multiple animations
so if ones out of place thats how ill know
Yeah, it’s the last few numbers in the name that show if it’s the same or not
Well, good luck with your skin!
"airborne".gif
looks more like a jump idk
labled as "slashalt".gif idfk what its meant to be
theres a krita plugin in pinned that does what you are doing
whats krita
also i think its best not to fill this with just knight gifs
someone told me specifically to
its a drawing program
Who?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If you meant me, I meant if you’re going to post it, #archived-modding-help isn’t the right place. You kinda just started posting it
but you said here was
I said here was the correct place for stuff like that, I didn’t tell you to post it
Also might want to post all the gifs in a zip file, much less clutter and easier to download
so heres the right place to post the stuff but dont post the stuff here?
Here’s the right place to post stuff, but I didn’t tell you to post the stuff in question
sounds like your trynna jump through like 7 loopholes to avoid responsability here
Sounds like you’re trying to blame it on me
all i said was that you told me that here was the place to send them
no i just said that you said if i was gonna post them then post them here
Really sorry I misunderstood
its fine im an idiot like that most of the time too
the making gifs thing sound very impractical though, even in the ones you already sent there are repeating frames
there are?
the ends of slash and dash are just the same frame but they have multiple pngs in the dumped files
so the only way would be to have all the gifs but have the repeated frames reference the same sprite png
also theres what, 500 sprites, and the same ones can show up in different animations
how tf am i meant to do that
literally just use spritepacker and have it check for duplicates once in a while
@swift bison your things gonna let people change the frame rate of animations and stuff like that right?
or custom knight creator
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
same as spritepacker except for a few things
then its not what i need
Oh btw where do I get the krita plugin
you need to look at the sprites that come before and after to make a sprite
so changing files every time is extremely sub optimal
Now that I use krita I should try and see if I can use it
idk i just open every png and just flip and save with shortcuts and a photoshop script
it wouldnt make it easier to save frames if they were a gif though
customknight+ will let you change the animations not just the sprites so its easiest to do this for now
in aseprite you can just open a gif, and then save each frame as a png
literally just save as, type: png
they have different file names
the only thing in order is the second set of numbers, afaik save each frame as png changes the last number
well ye?
so? you save idle or we with each frame as png and it doesnt name things correctly, so youd have to re name every one of them to pack it into a sheet
id guess you would but differently
as far as i know you just select each frame for whatever animation
so like you select the files yourself
or maybe it can autodetect idk
any mod that lets you synch enemy health in synthony with hkmp?
#archived-modding-help would probably be better?
i think only redfrog knows how it will work...
@swift bison ?
wtf the slash animation has 5 frames but 15 frames
like 5 different sprites
but 15 sprites?
if the last number is the same its the same sprite
ye past frame 6 its the same
so why make the animation 15 frames long
@swift bison any idea about how long its gonna take for you to finish a usable version of customknight+?
thanks 
Wait its in the pins lmao

Because if you make it shorter its too fast, probably
Hey everybody, I'm brand new to HK modding, and I was wondering what mods would be good for a randomizer run?
anything else?
ok thanks
if im playing in a tiemsync rando, and i get out of the ame, whatever the other get while im out i get it too?
it kinda looks like a zombie
nope
mm
realistic knight?
maybe
still not really realistic
what about
detailed knight?
fallen knight
ooh
what if i made the void voidier and the shell soullier?
is that even possible?
lol
also im changing the soul meter to a yin yang
ooooooh
its hard to make something black and white when the default uses full white and full black so damn often
yeah lmao
got no idea for the shell
its hard to get ideas sometimes
i would look at a lot of other skins and try to figure yours by reference
mines so different from all the other skins
everyone elses is either a knew design entirely or a shity tint
like seriously look at acid knight
can you get more low effort than that?
lmao
?
swag knight
but better
ye u are

dont ask me i just agreed with you
then i Disagree
then i disagree
then i *ApPeAr
so waht do i do with the shell
bv still has 2 horns
anyways
theyre just off normal position
sitll cool and funky
should i give him the drip?
have you seen mcu loki?
his crown
Does Death Counter not work?
I can probably get one out soon if people are fine with installing and using unity to automatically write sprite positions json file
While this is correct, it’s not quite efficient. The most efficient thing to do is put every png into a spritesheet (doesn’t need to be in certain positions like the knight spritesheet, so no need for programs to pack for you unless you want to save memory (might be necessary for large sheets)), then to save yourself insanity, use unity or whatever other way I invent for automatically or visually setting the position of each sprite. I have no idea what would happen if every frame was it’s own sheet. Most likely persisting lag or a crash upon loading it all.
I think it’s pretty nice, I don’t think it would benefit much from CustomKnight+ though unless you need to go outside of the boundaries of the sprites or change animation.
if you can make it read a skin folder and turn that into animations which you can then save the frames of and then change them with new pngs then package all those new sprites into the files needed for the skin folder then that would be really useful
That’s something I have no idea where to start on
so does customknight+ even make it easier to compile skins?
Not sure what you mean by reading a skin folder and turning it into animations, but loading so many single, separate png files, again possible memory issue, but the part I have no idea where to start is packaging them into one png
Not at all
Makes it harder
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Well compiling, no, that’s easier, it’s what it adds that’s a real headache
By compiling I mean putting frames into a spritesheet
thats exactly what i need
The problem is with what you’re making, the other steps are more work than it would be with normal CustomKnight
ive no idea what normal custom knight even does
i gtg in 9 minutes so stop writing a thesus lmao
Added stuff with CustomKnight+:
- You need to define every frame in the spritesheet, get the top left corner, and the height and width, then give it an id you’ll remember for the animations
- You need to make animations by giving some program I’ll make (or typing it into a json file) 1. Giving it a name of one of the knight’s animations 2. Give it a frames per seconds value 3. Give it the ids you gave to the frames in the spritesheet
Easier stuff with CustomKnight+:
Instead of worrying about sprite boundaries or putting it in the original spritesheet just put all your frames in your own sheet, no limits
Harder stuff with normal CustomKnight:
Gotta be limited by the original spritesheets
Easier stuff with normal CustomKnight:
No need to do the added stuff from CustomKnight+
The price of having no limits is having a tougher process
tbh i wouldnt even mind typing into a json file if it gets me no boundaries
whats the link to the latest modinstaller
it says i need to update my game but idk where to find
oh k
with right click
says updated to me
check beta
if it says none then idk lol
if it does say something like 1.4 xxx

why is it always me who cant download something for no reason
wait theres modding help channel
oh
move there i guess
trying to upatch in steam?
the fresh ham is upatch
no he said it is already updated
yeah
oh ol
Anyway there are pinned msgs in #archived-modding-help

and have fun!
Doing my first randomizer and the amount of times I've done like a stupid skip and end up softlocking myself until I benchwarp is nuts
yeah
I'm gonna mention it here too, because I'm mentioning it everywhere:
Randomzier 4 is apparently compatible with Decoration Master (Rando3 wasn't).
Do with this knowledge what you will.
ik im a bit late but there is a mode in vanilla game for that
godseeker mnode, then just benchwarp out
how does the cloth mod work
@sonic coral Are there known issues with packing certain sprites with Customknight Creator?
A user on the modding server is having an issue with it crashing when trying to pack Shade and Shape of Unn
hmm, not that i'm aware of
I'm not really sure if it's able to handle shade sprites, i think those were added to customknight in a newer version
shape of unn should be fine
Gotcha. So anything pre- Shade update should be fine? And for anything else, the person should probably use Sprite Packer, yeah?
hey so with the pale curt, is everything out for it or is there a guide for what there is right now in the mod. please help
Everything with Pail Curt is out there
There's no guide, and probably not one needed
sigh i saw the mod and got it but it doesnt seem to be doing anything, and im thinking its the one causing rick roll
yep it was, who ever did that. 
when's pale court?
what's pale court?
i wonder is there like a custom knight template skin with just the outlines and no coloring?
It's an in-development mod that claims to be introducing a bunch of modded boss fights to the game (and maybe other stuff, too - I'm not following too closely). It's also the silksong of hk modding (in that it's about as likely to come out as silksong)
you didn't have it say it so bluntly like that
Honestly true
dont think so
sounds like a good name
yes
looks really good
if you look closely you can even see some infection on the nail
thats a vrey interesting detail
well hes fighting infected enemies, so ye the infection would tend to clump on the nail
makes sense
wait wouldnt the coiled nail just be a screw?
kind of
its literally just a screw lmao
ive also made some gifs of the animations to make it easier to edit
you re smort
not smort enough to copy the idle animation before editing it
damn i cant tell which tendral is which in the dash animation
guess ill have to work backwards
just out of curiosity, is there a changelog for Randomizer 4, or information on what Pail Curt actually is?
no idea for rando 4, maybe check the github
and its pale court, you might find something when you spell it right lmao
oh
yeah xd
download it an find out 😄
._.
yeah, i was just confused, cause i couldn't find any announcement for its release
i can only find the rando 3 github 🤷
working on my dash now
nice skin
thanks
dashing is really hard cos the tendrils just dissapear and reapear randomly
and theres just more of them
ive got 2 tendrils left, idk what colours to make them if anything new
ill try yellow
yellow works well
Uh??
what?
nt
Are there mods that adds bosses or not?
quick question, I have hollow knight because of game pass pc, can I mod it?
I don't think so
ok, thanks
I think it's just go and steam

If you're editing .gifs of the sprites, then you're losing all of the aliasing on the sprite edges. I'm not sure if that's intentionally what you wanted to do or not.
im just taking each sprite, compiling it into the gifs, and then editing them
Yeah, so you're losing the aliased edges
.gif as a format doesn't support semi transparency. So once you convert something with semi transparency into it, you lose that data
there is no semi transparent pixles in the sprites
There is in the originals
no its just black
that's what the edge aliasing is
then its not being lost because its 100% solid?
Notice is your screenshot above:
#modding-discussion message
The eyes of the Knight have aliasing; same with the inner-edges of the Knight.
That's how the outer-edges of the sprite normally are too.
When you converted them into .gifs, it chopped away all of that.
@final fjord are you using customknight-creator
no because i cant even find it
ive tried 7 different ways to do this and none of them are working
how do i even run this
Did you download it
...What did you download?
this
ok so how do i do this?
You... download it?
i mean how do i use it
ive got it open how do i use it
idk, read the readme and see if it says anything
does anyone know how to use custom knight creator?
lmao he does a backflip in the spike death animation
So cool
Did you get it working
what mods are good to use?
Hey boys, does anyone have the link or the file for the "Trial of the pure masochist"?
Hello, I want to try my hand at making a mod/tracker for the randomizer but don't know where to start to make it.
Here's the idea, it would be something like the KH2 ABN tracker, you have the areas of the games showed as icons at the top of the tracker with a number starting at 0 and a blank space next to each of them and the bottom part of the tracker would be all the included major items in the seed (skills, dreamers, white fragments, etc). Each time you pick one of those items it would be moved up to the blank space next to the area where that item has been found and the number would go up by 1. Eventually if all the major items from that area has been found then the number changes color to show as much. The goal would be to find all the major items and the tracker would help you figure out in which areas of the game to check and rule out others as you progress.
I haven't touched programming for over a decade and don't really know anymore what tools and language I would use for such a project. I would probably end up using the logs generated with the seed to make the tracker work as well as figuring out how the RecentItems mods categorize each check to show them in their respective areas.
Im just gonna leave this here, bye
hey looking for enemy randomizer for scarab
doesn't exist
so whats pale curt, i cant find the readme for it
with the moresaves mod, how do you get to page 2

You might want to join the modding server (linked in my About Me). There's dev support channels and such there, and people are usually good about answering Qs that they can, and trying to help others find resources that they need 
What if hollow knight but every enemy has a chance to drop a random item or amount of geo

So, I decided to try my first randomizer run, and I took a stag to greenpath, but since I don't have the forgotten roads stag I can't return. I was trying to minimize bench warping as much as possible, but is it likely that I have to warp back to dirtmouth or the crossroads to not be softlocked, or is there always a way out?
maybe trough ||fog canyon||
hi guys! do you know about any mod to make the hall of god statues "More beautiful" ?
Nope.
You could certainly edit the sprites for them with custom Knight though
ty, i will look into how to do that
Thanks!
Debug and benchwarp are useful
Hey a good idea for a mod is your a mantis and the mantises are knights
Can this get pinned <@&283547423706447872>

Oh sorry
mfw

thanks, that is really good advice
generic questions get generic answers
lol
What version of hkmp is on scarab?
what mod do I use if I want to be able to do things like inventory drop?
started a randomizer in resting grounds and it looks like I am already softlocked, no tram pass, no ddive, no essence, no stags except queens gardens which I can't progress into
where in the goddamn hell do I go
I already checked dreamshield and the stag stations
ah nevermind there is a randomizer specific channel
anyone wanna do hkmp
party!
wasnt there a pale king skin with a longer head?
Lime had a pale King skin
Heads can't really get "longer", due to limitations
||cue for RedFrog to talk about CK+||
due to no ck+ 
the pale court mod was a rickroll
coping and seething rn
rip
I have a question, would people be interested in a toothless knight skin? im currently working on one and i wanted to know if i should make it public when it's finished
that sounds cool.
absolutely!
Every body would be happy to see a new skin I think :D
I had a dream last night that I played modded Hollow Knight
Ello?
Hi
Ye so it's a little tricky, I believe that if it is a full game than no but if u r adding areas or bosses its fine I believe
Like pale court is fine but things like mask bearer it's a little tricky
I won't be changing the bosses
Like so I'll explain
It'll be like how silksong and the base game is
I just don't know if I'm even allowed to like fan game it
Or mod it
Hm
Cause the location will be completely different
So it's gunna be a whole new place, new areas, new bosses, same style but not the original game
Yup
Oh
That's a little hard
Um
It might be hard to make smthn like that without getting into copyright issues
I mean u could try emailing them about it 
Go to any of their social media and u should find it
pls sambody mod a paleking fight
you cant just jump in and ask people to mod a game
I really need help to mod HK .... I don't understand what needs to be download. Can someone help me, please? 🙏
Is there a path of pain easy mode mod?
pins of #archived-modding-help
what does that mean to you
Like its just easier
that doesn't really clear it up
you can make something easier in many ways.
if you want it to be really really easy, just install debug mod and noclip to the end
Zaliants surprise huh
yo i have a cool idea for the HKMP mod. I know next to nothing about how modding actually works so i dont know how easy or hard it would be but itd be cool if it had notifications like when players connect but for when a player completes a key event, for example "username" has aquired Monarch Wings or "username" has defeated False Knight
so the custom knight mod
Well... there is
That already a thung
It says at the side when someone collects smthn
What are some good UI improvement mods y'all would recommend?
