People cannot help you if they do not know all of what is going on.

Your post should include Useful Information, such as:

• Detailed explanation (What is wrong, what have you tried, what are you expecting to happen, etc)
• Screenshots of the issues / errors (How do I take screenshots?)
• Post your Modlog.txt file if you're playing modded (this is found in your Save Files folder, which you can learn how to access by typing ?tag modlog into chat)
  • -# This is required if you are playing modded. This is not required if your problem is getting the game to be modded.
• What Operating System you are on (Windows / MacOS / Linux / Other)
• What patch are you on (This should show on the main menu)
• What Mod Installer you are using (Lumafly / Scarab / HKMM / ModInstaller1 / ModInstaller2 / Other)

also see the bench warp section below

?tag palecourt

[trim abyss]

Starting Pale Court

• Install it using Lumafly
• You must have ||All dreamers||
• You must have ||defeated a specific boss:|| ||White Defender||
• You must then find the location that connects each Knight to the world. You can watch the Launch Trailer if you want directions where to go.

Known problems with Pale Court

• MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LATEST UPDATED VERSION
• AdditionalMaps, Randomizer 4, Extra MenuBackgrounds, EssenceAlways (and any mod that attempts to force Essence drops) aren't compatible, and will prevent you from being able to enter fights.
• Using a BenchWarp Deployed Bench in new areas will break the file
  • If you accidentally do this, then close the game, disable Benchwarp, then open the file again. Get off the bench you spawn at, and sit down again. Then save+quit, and you should be able to enable Benchwarp again.
  • Alternatively, you can open your user#.modded.json for that file, and edit "atDeployedBench": true, -> "atDeployedBench": false, . You can type ?tag savefiles for more information.
• HK Vocalized may prevent you from accessing fights
  • (This appears to not be consistently reproducible, but if you can't enter fights, then try disabling it)
• Skill Upgrades will prevent Charms from working correctly
• Hollow Point will not work if Pale Court is installed
• Any mod that adds new Charms may prevent Charms from working.

If you're having other issues, then please read #1047656117913800704 and create a #1047056433767796766 post with the requested info and any details. Be aware that Pale Court was not designed to be compatible with other mods, and you will usually need to choose between using either Pale Court or the other mod(s).

i am stuck in a void area when i closed hk after being in a pale court area and i dont know how to fix it

[patent hamlet]

... did you read the section I suggested?

[rain depot]

yes

[patent hamlet]

did you do that?

[rain depot]

it doesnt have to do anything with benchwarp

i dont have benchwarp

i never did

hello?

[patent hamlet]

The fix should still work, as it's basically the same problem.

[rain depot]

how

what

[patent hamlet]

By changing your bench location in your modded save file data

[rain depot]

when i try using debug stuff it doesnt work i cant click or use the arrow keys

[patent hamlet]

Debug is not mentioned at all in that section, so I dunno what you're trying to do? But yeah, you need to be paused to use your mouse in debug. Otherwise you'd need to have hotkeys set up

[rain depot]

i cant bause

[rain depot]

what does this even mean

[trim abyss]

Please don't ping users with the noping role!

[rain depot]

???

pinging is with the at sybom wym

[patent hamlet]

replying automatically pings. And is completely unneessary in a thread like this

[rain depot]

@rain depot is a ping

replying doesnt ping

[patent hamlet]

yes in fact it does

[rain depot]

sorry

[patent hamlet]

If you want to use debug for whatever you're trying to do, you'll need to set up hotkeys while in another file

[rain depot]

ok how

[patent hamlet]

how what?

[rain depot]

to set up hotkeys

[patent hamlet]

by finding the option you want in debug & picking a button for it

[rain depot]

ok

how do i pick a button for it

[patent hamlet]

click on the option, push a button

[rain depot]

ok

does it count for multiple buttond

?

[patent hamlet]

no, you can only bind one button

[rain depot]

ok

how to i get teleport

[patent hamlet]

?? there's no teleport in debug

[rain depot]

so then how do i get out

i asked someone and they said teleport was a thing

[patent hamlet]

there is hazard respawn, that's as close as you'll get, but there's no telling where your respawn is right now.

[rain depot]

ok

i clicked the key right after

then i clicked the key and it didnt respawn me

[patent hamlet]

Well yeah, like I said who knows where your respawn is set right now. Probably also out of bounds

This usually happens from either using benchwarp, or sitting on a modded bench & then removing the mod. For either you can adjust your bench in your save file, or if it's just the latter reinstall the mod & move to a vanilla bench

[rain depot]

no like i mean when. i click the key it doesnt respawn me like it doesnt do anything even in a normal save fike

file

[patent hamlet]

i've never had a problkem with it. Maybe you bound the wrong thing

[rain depot]

what do i do now

[patent hamlet]

Well you've refused all my suggestions so I dunno at this point LMAO

[rain depot]

wym i have refused

and i got the debug thing

[patent hamlet]

I told you, change your bench in your modded save file. You started messing with all this debug stuff on your own

[rain depot]

how do i change my bench

[patent hamlet]

go into the modded save file, find the benchinfo & change it

[rain depot]

where is the bench info??

[patent hamlet]

In the modded save data. You can use search if you can't find it

[rain depot]

where is the modded save data

[patent hamlet]

that's copvered in the bot message above

[rain depot]

i cant find anything there

?tag modlog

[trim abyss]

ModLog

"ModLog.txt" can be found in the same folder as your save files (you can drag and drop the file into discord)

• Open Modlog with Lumafly (you should be able to copy and paste it into Discord)
• Windows: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
• Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/
  Note: some mod installers such as Lumafly have an "Open Saves Folder 📁" button which allows you to find the ModLog easily. Otherwise, follow the steps below:

To get the ModLog on Windows

1. Press ⊞ + R

• Note: ⊞ is the Windows button, in between Ctrl and Alt on your keyboard

2. Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK".
3. ModLog.txt is in this folder.

To get the ModLog on MacOS

1. From the Finder, click "Go" in the menu at the top of the screen and select "Go to folder".
2. Copy and paste this into it ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ and press enter.
3. ModLog.txt is in this folder.

[rain depot]

okay where do i find bench info

hello

i cant search for benchinfo

im on mac

[patent hamlet]

Dude, I'm not like, sitting here waiting you to ask another question. If mac text editors don't have search then I guess you're gonna be manually looking.

[rain depot]

ok sorry

but what is it near

[patent hamlet]

I have no idea. I've never needed to save edit.

[rain depot]

so when i do find benches what do i change it to'

[cinder compass]

The answer is in the bot's message that was sent earlier. Also mac text editors do have a search functionality

[rain depot]

how

[rain depot]

how to use search

[cinder compass]

command + F

[rain depot]

thank you

so i change at deploed bench to false?

also the search only works to find modlog not stuff in modlog

[rain depot]

that cant help me search in the modlog it searches files not stuff in files

so its bassically useless

[cinder compass]

If you do it in the finder you'll search for files, if you do it in a file it'll search in that file, but the value you need to change isn't in your modlog

[rain depot]

then where is it

[cinder compass]

In your modded save file

userX.modded.json with X = save number

[rain depot]

so i search that

[cinder compass]

It'll be in the same folder as your modlog

[rain depot]

so then is it in modlog

i know im a dumbass but please help

[cinder compass]

No. In the same folder, but not the same file. The folder is your saves folder, unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight

[rain depot]

i dont get it

[cinder compass]

The file you're looking for, userX.modded.json, is in your saves folder, unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight, which you can open with Lumafly's open saves folder button, not sure what else I can explain

[rain depot]

i found that folder

now what do i do

[cinder compass]

The answer, again, is in the bot's message

[cinder compass]

^

second sub-bullet of the benchwarp section

[rain depot]

so i change it to false

ok

i cant edit

Does it have anything to do with this

hello

[cinder compass]

those aren't the ones mentioned in the bot's message but you can try changing them to
"SceneName": "Town",
"RespawnMarkerName": "RestBench"

[rain depot]

exept i cant edit it

so respawn scene town

and respawn marker name to restbench

[cinder compass]

why?

[rain depot]

idk

ok let me

when i click on it

[cinder compass]

what does it looks like?

[rain depot]

do i open it with textedit

[cinder compass]

for example. I guess you were in the preview

[rain depot]

i am a dumbass please forgive me

so would i so respawn scene town
and respawn marker name to restbench

ok thanks

wait is it town or Town and restbench Restbench or RestBench

[cinder compass]

it's the way I sent them earlier

[rain depot]

ok thanks

i did that now do i close it

[cinder compass]

save and then yeah, close it. Afterwards edit the same values in userX.json (not modded) because I'm actually not sure if Pale Court's save values override the vanilla ones

[rain depot]

ok

theres no userxjson unmodded

[cinder compass]

That one is generated by QoL as a way to edit saves, but there are other ways to edit the normal file directly:

?tag saveedit

[trim abyss]

Editing save files

You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.

• [MoreSaves Mod](<https://github.com/TheMulhima/MoreSaves/) | Install
  • With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the in-game Menu. Either from the Main Menu or Pause Menu, go to Options > Mods > MoreSaves to edit save files in game.
• QoL mod | Install
  • If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called user#.json (where # is the file number), which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information
• DebugMod | Install
  • While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod.
• Website
  • Find the Save File, upload it to the website, and make the edits. It will Download as save file for Slot 1, so rename it if needed. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information

[rain depot]

ima just try open it
