Author's Note:

• All resources used in this mod are taken from both games of the Hollow Knight series. It is released free as a gameplay mod and does not involve storylines or character settings. It does not represent, nor can it represent, any official stance.

• This mod was developed individually. Due to its large scope, it may not be perfect. Based on personal preference, priority was given to recreating the combat feel. Simultaneously, it has not been adapted for the main game's progression (map design and related interactions). Therefore, it is not recommended to use this mod for playing through the main story.

• For the same reason, it is recommended to back up your save files before using this mod. The developer cannot be responsible for potential issues like getting stuck or save file corruption that may occur during gameplay.

• This mod was created out of love for both Hollow Knight games. The protagonists of each game have their own unique characteristics. Therefore, I do not wish to see any disparaging comments or comparisons that put either character down in comments. Thank you for your cooperation.

• Finally, this mod is open source on GitHub (https://github.com/MCXGK3/KnightInSilkSong). Other modders are welcomed to use this mod as a base for creating more interesting modifications.

Usage Instructions:

1. In-game, press the F5 key to switch to The Knight (Pressing F5 again switches back).

2. When switching for the first time within a save file, a black and white Shade Soul effect and a loud sound may occur. This is normal; please ignore it.

3. The Knight's Charms are located in the button with the Charm Notch icon below the Tools interface. Please note: Charms can only be changed while sitting on a bench. If not on a bench, there will be no prompt.

4. Opening the Inventory while playing as The Knight does not freeze the game.

5. Upon using the mod for the first time and then exiting the game, a PlayerData.json file will be generated in the corresponding mod folder. If you need to change configurations (e.g., naildamage corresponds to Nail damage,etc.), please modify them in this file and then reopen the game. If you wish to reset to the state of the Seekers, simply delete this file.

6. The Knight's Dream Nail only has the function of collecting SOUL , and cannot be mixed with Hornet's Needolin. The Dream Gate functionality is not yet implemented.

7. This mod can be used alongside the Boss Re-fight mod.

8. It is recommended to switch back to Hornet at key progression points.

Currently Known Issues:

1. Under certain circumstances, the Hiveblood Charm might grant an incorrect number of Hiveblood health segments. Please use with discretion.

2. Under certain circumstances, The Knight's HUD might not appear. Opening and closing the Inventory should restore it.

3. Under certain circumstances, Weaverlings or Grimmchild might instantly kill enemies, potentially causing softlocks. Please use them with discretion.

4. Under certain circumstances, The Knight might not play the corresponding animation or Hornet's animation might appear instead. This is a normal phenomenon; please ignore it.

This mod is still in development. So if you encounter any other problems, please report them via the GitHub Issues page (https://github.com/MCXGK3/KnightInSilkSong/issues). Thank you.
