[scenic lynx]

is there any possible way that i can get mouse inputs to save?

[real jacinth]

you go to the speedrun server

and use blue.exe

or, use keyboard binds instead of your mouse

[quaint grove]

im trying to look at custom knight skins but it won't let me preview them unless i extract the whole zip file?

is there a reason to this

[old forge]

Same, the images in the Google Doc won't load for me either

[real jacinth]

google doc looks fine to me

reload the page

[old forge]

Do images of each skin show up for you?

[real jacinth]

yes

[old forge]

The "CustomKnight Sprite Packs"? files?

[little relic]

I was using the doc earlier, worked perfectly

[old forge]

Maybe I'm in the wrong spot then, but I used the "CustomKnight skins" link that's the first one listed in that pinned message

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources

• List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
• Video Tutorial on using CK:
  https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466

🔹 Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:

• Where you installed the skin
• With the directory bar visible
• With the skin images themselves visible

Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

[real jacinth]

that link is 1 google drive. the doc of all skins is listed above.

google drives do not show previews of images

[old forge]

Thank you

[real jacinth]

it's just how google drive works for zip files. if you want to change it, email google

[old forge]

I just didn't know that that was how it worked, I thought an image was supposed to load in. I'm not looking to try and change a major corporation

[neat patio]

My skins have stopped working all of a sudden, inadded a bunch of them and they just stipped working

I have relaunched multiple times and still nothing

Other mods such as benchwarping and CompassAlwaysOn still work though.

Restarted my whole computer, still nothing.

[neat patio]

Actually i think i just found the problem

I dont know how it happenned but infound a skin folder inside another skin folder and they were different skins

That was it

I sincerely apologize for my stupidity

Have a good rest of your night or i guess morning

[merry grove]

does anyone know what's the mod that adds a bench next to the absrad statue?

[pliant lantern]

You can just put one down with Benchwarp

[merry grove]

oh, didn't know you could place benches with benchwarp

thanks

[merry pier]

I knew you could… but now I’m asking myself, why ? For a mod called "benchwarp" that is a weird feature

I imagine that two mods got merged into benchwarp

[pliant lantern]

You Deploy a bench, so that you can warp to it

[ancient vigil]

handy for backtracking~~ and also if you expect death ahead~~

[karmic musk]

Is there a way to play online and see other peoples skins?

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743

🔹 How it works:

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.

🔹 Public Servers:

For general use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch

For exclusively co-op (PVP disabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26951
Requires HkmpPouch

For playing Tag
 IP:    51.178.38.45
 PORT:  26950
Requires HKMP Tag

Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!

thanks, does it apply the color change to all battles?

[covert valve]

Yea to all backgrounds

[abstract badger]

Use scarab for 1.5 modinstaller is outdated

[novel bronze]

i got decorationmaster and it loaded but it didnt have any spike or saw

[real jacinth]

did you download a map pack for it

[novel bronze]

ohh

how do i get it

[real jacinth]

get what

[novel bronze]

map pack

[real jacinth]

which one

[novel bronze]

did u see skurry use decoration master

[real jacinth]

no

decoration master is like a PS5. and map packs are like games

[novel bronze]

how do i download map packs

just any

[real jacinth]

by googling them

depending on which one you want

[novel bronze]

so after downloading it

what folder does it go in

[real jacinth]

the one the mod's readme says to put it in

[novel bronze]

ok thx

why is the item edit keybind not working

in the readme im pressing all the keybinds and nothing happenes

?

[vestal breach]

okay, so update
last time we played together, we figured out that the issue is not from the rando itself

when he plays alone, everything is randomized just fine, but once he enters a multiplayer world/he hosts one, the grubs and geo rocks don't wanna randomize

i dont know how these 2 mods are even related or what went wrong

[novel bronze]

Can I use forge for hk mods?

[abstract badger]

?pins Use scarab

Ok

[jolly zenith]

when i try to open scarab it stays on a dark grey window for a few minutes and then just closes

[brittle flame]

can someone help me with scarab

[wheat orchid]

What problem are you having?

[wheat orchid]

Is the game open or closed?

[brittle flame]

closed

[wheat orchid]

Hmmm

Do other mods work?

[brittle flame]

nope

none

[wheat orchid]

Try running scarab as administrator

[brittle flame]

ok

It worked 😄

thank you very much : D

[left hearth]

ok so uh
im running rando and
it keeps putting me in steel soul mode

even though the steel soul setting is off

[wheat orchid]

Are you sure you’re not using some CustomKnight skin that changes the hud?

[left hearth]

no, when i die the save file gets deleted like it does with steel soul

which is irritating because then i have to go through and put all the settings again

[covert valve]

What rando do you use?

[left hearth]

the latest version is 4 right

thats the one im using currently

[wheat orchid]

(Also only one with steel soul support tmk)

[left hearth]

tmk?

[wheat orchid]

To
My
Knowledge

[left hearth]

ok

i figured that out before you said it

but anyway

[wheat orchid]

lol

[left hearth]

it may be because of the novelties setting

with "split stuff"

because whenever i enable it, its steel soul mode
but obviously you dont wanna do steel soul in a rando

except thats the setting i want

ok i fixed it

[heady kestrel]

You could play rando 2 in steel soul. Quite a pain to get that working nowadays tho LMAO

spend 20+ minutes, or spend 2 minutes

better spend 20 minutes

anyone know why QOL doesnt work

because you didn't install it right

i doubt that

screenshot your title screen

QoL doesn't affect the game very deeply.

it's not capable of "breaking" your game

mods dont show in top left with QOL

nvm just uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked

Does anyone know why my modinstaller is not opening?

Once again please dont use modinstaller

?tag savefiles

[dense shuttle]

Save Files
The save files for Hollow Knight are shared between all installs of the game, and are easily interacted with.

🔹 What do the save files looks like?

• Hollow Knight save files are in the form of user#.dat, where # is the save slot for the file..
• You can take a file named user3.dat and rename it to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot.
• You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer.

🔹 Reverting Backup files

• You have save file backups that are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. Typically speaking, you will have your last three backups.
• You can set a backup to be the real file by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup file.

🔹 Modded save files

• If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). Both this file and the user#.dat are part of the save.

🔹 Where are the files?

• On windows, the default path for Save Files is %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
• For other operating systems, type ?saves into chat.

🔹 I need a specific type of save file

• Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources

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

• Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
• QoL mod: If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor.
• MoreSaves mod: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Main Menu.
• DebugMod: 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.

[grizzled quiver]

my brain isnt working

ive never been able to understand all this file stuff lmao

wait nevermind i got it

i put it in

[grizzled quiver]

but when i launch the game is there something i should do to activite the save file kinda

[pliant lantern]

No.
If the file is there, then it'll be there just like any other save file

Whatever file is named user1.dat will be the first file in your save slots

[grizzled quiver]

This has an extra folder, look at the file path in the example

can it like create another folder with the pngs after a forced crash

here's the folder above that in the path

also now that i see something in the game for some reason the default knight character is elongated weirdly?

Piracy is not something that is supported in pretty much any "main" community for a game, and that includes modding communities.

HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version, the official GoG version, and the official Microsoft Store version.

Please refrain from discussing piracy or asking for assistance any further. If you continue farther action could be taken.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

[dense shuttle]

❗Hollow knight Crashes upon opening, after installing a mod
This glitch can happen for a number of reasons make sure that all the reasons listed listed below don't apply to you.

🔹 Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used.

• Scarab is made for patch 1.5.78+
• Modinstaller 1 & 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2
• there aren't installers for other patches.

🔹 Something didn't install correctly

• Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file, and that it's not in your Downloads folder.
• Run the installer as Administrator

Your game is pirated / illegitimate.
Piracy is not supported in most communities for games. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.

HK Modding is only supported on the official versions from Steam, GoG, or the Microsoft Store.

Hollow Point FAQ
ReadMe: https://github.com/TTacco/Hollow-Point/blob/master/README.md

🔹 Gun doesn't work / HUD is jank

• Hollow Point doesn't work on new saves. Save and quit, then reload the save file.
• Having multiple Gun Class charms equipped can also break the gun.

🔹 I disabled it and now healing doesn't work right
Hollow Point edits how Soul works on a file.
Here are ways to fix it:
<#archived-modding-help message>

🔹Not working with Custom Knight skins!
This is a known issue, and Custom Knight is not considered compatible with HP.
Here's steps that sometimes work for people (but if they don't, then you'll just need to play with the default skin):

• Uninstall/Disable Hollow Point
• Launch the game, and Apply the skin in the Main Menu.
• Open the desired Save File, pause and Apply the skin in the Mods Menu.
• Save and Quit, then close the game.
• Re-enable Hollow Point.

Its less it doesnt work right and more I dont know how to do it

the controls say its to heal but it just doesnt, unless this fixes it then i shall try it

How to use Scarab in Microsoft Store
🔹 First enter the Xbox app and move your mouse over Hollow Knight on the left bar.
🔹 Click the three points then click "Manage".
🔹 Go to the "Files" tab and select "Browse...".
🔹 Click Hollow Knight then Content, click the path bar and copy it.
🔸Run Scarab as admin and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.

Alternate Method:
🔹 Click on your profile then "Settings"
🔹 Go to "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER"
🔹 Look for a folder where you want to install the game (Preferably inside a folder in your desktop).
🔸 Copy the path bar, then run Scarab as Administrator and when it asks you for the path, paste what copied before.

Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside

Piracy is not something that is supported in pretty much any "main" community for a game, and that includes modding communities.

HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version, the official GoG version, and the official Microsoft Store version.

Please refrain from discussing piracy or asking for assistance any further. If you continue farther action could be taken.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.

❗Hollow knight Crashes upon opening, after installing a mod
This glitch can happen for a number of reasons make sure that all the reasons listed listed below don't apply to you.

🔹 Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used.

• Scarab is made for patch 1.5.78+
• Modinstaller 1 & 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2
• there aren't installers for other patches.

🔹 Something didn't install correctly

• Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file, and that it's not in your Downloads folder.
• Run the installer as Administrator

Your game is pirated / illegitimate.
Piracy is not supported in most communities for games. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.

HK Modding is only supported on the official versions from Steam, GoG, or the Microsoft Store.

damnit. It still crashed

Even after verifying???

[digital mica]

yeah

[novel yew]

Huh

[digital mica]

there's a box that pops up briefly

[novel yew]

Then either you did something after verifying or the problem isnt about mods

[digital mica]

it has the knight's face and is titled Hollow Knight Unity and some numbers and underscores

Does the cherry appear in the window or is it just black screen?

[novel yew]

That ussually happens when you have mods and theres a problem

[fierce pilot]

Sorry, loading bar*

[digital mica]

well I have the api disabled and verified the files

[digital mica]

I don't believe so

[novel yew]

And you sure you didnt modifiy anything after?

[digital mica]

nope

played directly after

[novel yew]

Then go make sure

Oh wait you meant yes
then try verifying again maybe

[digital mica]

it crashes after like ~15 minutes

[novel yew]

Oh its not at the start

[fierce pilot]

Try exiting steam and staring it again, I had supposedly same issue today and that worked

[novel yew]

Then its not a mod issue

[fierce pilot]

Oh, nvm

[digital mica]

I figured it is since it says unity on the crash box

[novel yew]

Is your pc 32 bits and you using 1.5? Thats the only thing i think about

[digital mica]

how do I check my pc specs?

[novel yew]

Uh idk just google how to know if my pc is 32 bits

[digital mica]

on the "betas" section on steam i have none selected, so probably most recent version

should I try swapping to 1.4.3.2?

[novel yew]

You can try but i recomend checking if 32 bits anyways

[digital mica]

64 bit operating system

[novel yew]

Huh

[warm roost]

I was about to say that I didn't think that a 32 bit pc would even be able to launch hk 1.5

[novel yew]

True

[digital mica]

I'll try swapping to 1.4.3.2

Hopefully that works

1.4.3.2 has the godmaster update, right?

🔹Not working with Custom Knight skins!
This is a known issue, and Custom Knight is not considered compatible with HP.
Here's steps that sometimes work for people (but if they don't, then you'll just need to play with the default skin):

• Uninstall/Disable Hollow Point
• Launch the game, and Apply the skin in the Main Menu.
• Open the desired Save File, pause and Apply the skin in the Mods Menu.
• Save and Quit, then close the game.
• Re-enable Hollow Point.

[mint tulip]

oh ok

[merry pier]

(I wonder how many people search for "gun" on scarab and get disappointed)

[heady kestrel]

I wonder why scarab doesn't support description searches

[fierce pilot]

I tried downloading Custom Knight recently, but somewhy game just closes when I try actually playing it and loading in(menus work just fine, it's only after loading levels)
I tried restarting game, reinstalling all mods, rebooting laptop, reinstalling the hk, rebooting again, reinstalling mods again, so I don't really know what couldve gone wrong and what I can do
Some more info, hope it helps:
-I'm using Linux Ubuntu 21.10(or something, can't check right now; 64-bit)
-w/o mods or with other mods the game works just fine, it's just custom knight; however, when I tried installing a lot of big mods, game simply wouldn't start and close while loading
-also game closes immediately if I try turning v-sync off(gosh either this whole Linux gaming is pretty buggy or I'm just insanely stupid)
-I'm using keyboard
-I tried about all possible custom knight settings combinations possible
-CustomKnight doesn't work both when I have non-default skin in its folder and when I don't
-I have Satchel

Pls help me I rly wanna try custom textures

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources

• List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
• Video Tutorial on using CK:
  https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466

🔹 Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:

• Where you installed the skin
• With the directory bar visible
• With the skin images themselves visible

Example screenshot (yours should look like this):
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/924905787728470067/CustomKnight_File_Example_1578.png

[heady kestrel]

The part about other mods & vsync also causing crashes makes me think custom knight may not be the main culprit, but that perhaps your pc has some memory issues?

[pliant lantern]

IIRC the Linux version of HK also has an issue with loading too much into VRAM, which is what CK does to load skins. If you tried adding a bunch of skins to the folder, it's also possible that that's part of the issue?

I know for HKMP, players cannot have more than 10 HKMP skins without the game crashing entirely. I've personally never heard of a linux player having an issue with a single CK skin, but your hardware may be relevant. It's possible that you need to update video/graphics drivers as well.

[fierce pilot]

Yes

[fierce pilot]

So, it tries to load default skin with all bosses, rooms, charms or whatever into my vram? Oh(yeah, it's definitely the hardware)
Can I try deleting default skin folder from ck's folder?

[fierce pilot]

btw I have put only angel knight in the skins folder

[pliant lantern]

HK loads all game assets it needs into VRAM. That's just how it works.

CK additionally adds the skin files into VRAM. It preloads them for your chosen skin when you launch the game, and then applies other skins as you select them to Apply.

If your machine has very limited graphical memory, then you're going to have issues.

Can I try deleting default skin folder from ck's folder?
You probably shouldn't? I mean, you can, but I'm pretty sure CK will regenerate it if you do. It's the default skin afterall

[fierce pilot]

ig

[pliant lantern]

Can you post a screenshot of the install, like the Dyno message asks?

Not right now

For custom huds, do I also put them into the custom knight folder?

[novel bronze]

ty for the help

ok it worked

@warm roost tysm

[pliant lantern]

Custom hud.png files need to be in a skin folder, yes

[heady kestrel]

They need to be in a folder with custom knight (same as a skin even if you're only using a hud)

🐌

[pliant lantern]

Example:

Note that if you want only the hud to change, than you can just include it alone, and the rest will stay default.

If you want to use that hud with another skin, then you'll need to put that hud file into the folder for the skin that you want to use it with (overwriting the existing one if it has one)

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.

How to fix Installer Errors
🔹 Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
🔹 Make sure that the installer has been Extracted from the .zip and that the new folder isn't in your Downloads folder.
🔹 Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".

[pliant lantern]

If you're hiding anything, it's unhelpful.
It's more helpful to post a screenshot of the Mod List on your Main Menu

[woven fossil]

u mean this?

[pliant lantern]

Yes, and that all looks fine.
Are you applying the skin from within the save file, after pausing the game?

[woven fossil]

yeah i just pause the game and load it normally

these are my settings if that would help anything

earlier it was somehow working

when i didnt have the mods installed

now even if im restarting the game its not working

and i have no fucking idea what is going on.

[pliant lantern]

Try hitting "Fix / Reload", then selecting a different skin and pressing "Apply", wait a moment, then going back to your current skin and hitting "Apply" again

[woven fossil]

didnt work

[pliant lantern]

In that case, try resetting your Global Settings

So I tried deleting the "Default" folder anyway and guess what
Thanks for your help again

upd now it just closes randomly
another upd nvm just forgot to turn off the swapper
(The swapper seems to be the problem, my game actually started working when I deleted SwapperDemo, "Default" seems to do nothing)

🔹 Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:

• Where you installed the skin
• With the directory bar visible
• With the skin images themselves visible

[rose elbow]

Hello! :D I'm currently making a skin but I'm running into a little difficulty with the sprites found on this Google doc: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ubKwTODDRts-XpLNmfAyXf03WvOO57-3

I've actually got the skin mostly finished on the base level, but when I went to go edit the frames in the cutscenes like Birthplace and the cutscene for obtaining the dreamnail, I realized that some of the files are ...incorrect? On about 4 frames it looks like they were files that were already edited by someone (I'll include a screenshot in the next message of what I mean), and on others, like the "DN Get 2" animation folder, the first frame is ...Hornet? o.o and then it goes back to the normal Knight frames after the Hornet frame. I was wondering if there is anywhere else that I can download these animations to edit them? Or if perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Lol

an example of what i mean, this first frame is Hornet but the last 5 are Ghost

sorry for the multiple messages, this is my last one, i just wanted to also include a screenshot of the ones that look like they were already edited by someone lol, this is definitely not my edit

[heady kestrel]

I'm not a skin maker so I can't tell by the screenshots but are you using Custom Knight Creator? If so try Spritepacker instead. I've seen that CKC can often break when trying to edit anything other than the basic sheets (assuming that like Knight & Sprint) and that may be related to what you're experiencing.

[rose elbow]

Well, I downloaded the folder from the doc, these are the files included in the folder I downloaded before I put it into the creator. i am using custom knight creator though

I actually tried to look on your list to see if there was an alternate place to download the sprites, but I didn't see it. I may have overlooked it though o.o

[heady kestrel]

I don't know if there's another drive that has them but you can also dump sprites yourself using custom knight in game.

[rose elbow]

Ohhh, that is good to know. I saw that option but I didn't really realize what it was for. Thank you, I'll look into that, I appreciate your help

[heady kestrel]

np, looks like a cool skin!

[rose elbow]

the purple one isn't mine (i wish, it looks cool) i'm actually not sure who it belongs to, i don't see it on your main list unfortunately lol

[gritty lava]

I wanted to download mods for HK 1.5.78, but when I launch Scarab, I get this error! If anything, then I choose the Hollow Knight folder in which I have the Hollow Knight_Data folder, that is, I'm doing everything right, but I still get an error 😥

[covert valve]

Dump the sprites directly from your game

[covert valve]

Go into appdata there should be a folder called HKmodinstaller open the file in it

[rose elbow]

Well, I'm not very good at the technical aspect of things, when I dump the files, they're just massive sprite sheets. The way I've been editing them, they're already separated into smaller files and I just load them into my art program to edit them. I'm not sure if that's the proper way lol

Err, I basically followed a YouTube video on how to edit the skins, which is why I'm using that Google doc as well

[covert valve]

You can use a sprite packer to unpack them

[covert valve]

Wait are you a pirate?

[rose elbow]

Ah okay, I actually did download sprite packer after Colette recommended it, but I haven't familiarized myself with it yet

[gritty lava]

Yes, I don't have enough money to buy the game

[rose elbow]

I'll DM you

?tag pirate

[dense shuttle]

Piracy is not something that is supported in pretty much any "main" community for a game, and that includes modding communities.

HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version, the official GoG version, and the official Microsoft Store version.

Please refrain from discussing piracy or asking for assistance any further. If you continue farther action could be taken.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.

[rose elbow]

Yeah, I will just buy them the game on Steam, I definitely don't condone pirating lol

[abstract badger]

Ok

[dense kraken]

imagine pirating Indie Games

bruh

[rose elbow]

To be fair, I have bought games for a few people so far, a few are children who don't have access to any kind of money to buy games, and then consider that perhaps other people are coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, and even a few dollars can make the difference between eating or not for the day. Some countries are especially struggling right now.

[gritty lava]

I just come from such a family, we have serious problems with money now, and now for us to buy a game, this is something unimaginably expensive, I thank you again, 3000 bows

How to use Scarab in Microsoft Store
🔹 First enter the Xbox app and move your mouse over Hollow Knight on the left bar.
🔹 Click the three points then click "Manage".
🔹 Go to the "Files" tab and select "Browse...".
🔹 Click Hollow Knight then Content, click the path bar and copy it.
🔸Run Scarab as admin and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.

Alternate Method:
🔹 Click on your profile then "Settings"
🔹 Go to "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER"
🔹 Look for a folder where you want to install the game (Preferably inside a folder in your desktop).
🔸 Copy the path bar, then run Scarab as Administrator and when it asks you for the path, paste what copied before.

Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside

Debug allows you to do save states, but they are not the easiest to set up

That said it also allows you to no clip around the map which can serve as a diet quick save

Verifying the game files disable it

To completely remove it you can delete the mod folder in your game file

There might also be a program that does it for you, look for it in the pins

[slim ledge]

Was there an undocumented update to Hollow Knight? When on the Steam Deck, it no longer recognizes the built-in controller input when Scarab is active. Plus, the -force-opengl launch option now causes an error...everything was fine the day before yesterday.

[pliant lantern]

IIRC Steam Deck default uses Windows HK via Proton. So if you're going to be modding, then you usually want to force it to use the Lniux version, so that you can use Linux Scarab

[slim ledge]

That is odd, because I'm definitely using the Linux Scarab version and like I said, everything was fine the day before yesterday. I'll try and re-install the Linux HK version however

Well after doing that the game no longer recognizes controller input without scarab activated. But that's no longer a mod issue. Thanks.

[golden marsh]

so

I just got the glimmering realm

nd its alrady bugged twice

first of all I cant hit geo rocks or lifeblood cocoons which i dont know if thats intentional or not

but whats not intentional

ist aht when I read the lore it freezes my game and I cant play it and have to force quit to play

also that happened when i picked up fury of the fallen

i dont know whts going on :/

[heady kestrel]

I've not played that but my guess is that one of your dependencies may be out of date (even if scarab claims it's not)

like, if Itemchanger is out of date, picking up items can bork things

[golden marsh]

how do i check for the dependencies

cuz it didnt auto install them like it does with rando mod

so the only mod i even have is glimmering realm

[heady kestrel]

They should be listed in the mod description.

[golden marsh]

oh yeah

thnks

lets hope it works

[heady kestrel]

Yeah if you only have Glimmering Realm that would explain it because:

[golden marsh]

welp

same bugs

although it seemed to ctually change something

like i had to select glimmering realm and then hit start

so something changed

but still its bugged

[heady kestrel]

did you just re-enable them or uninstall & reinstall?

[golden marsh]

well first i reenabled

but i just reinstalled and im trying it

Annnnnddd it still doesnt work

[heady kestrel]

I'm out of ideas then - you may want to join the modding server (link in #modding-discussion pins) there's a dedicated channel for the Glimmering Realm. so someone else who has played or the dev may be able to help

Then there shouldn't be any issue like that

[thick gale]

as i said before, scarab did work last time i tried it

@pliant lantern is there a way to install scarab manually ?

[pliant lantern]

You probably mean the Modding API, and not Scarab

Scarab is an installer

[thick gale]

yeah

the modding API

[pliant lantern]

I'm going to sleep, so can't get links right now, but they're on GitHub.

Mods and the Modding API are on ModLinks, which is a repo for HK Modding

thanks chief

@pliant lantern installed it !!

but how can i know if it worked or not ?

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743

🔹 How it works:

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.

🔹 Public Servers:

For general use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch

For exclusively co-op (PVP disabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26951
Requires HkmpPouch

For playing Tag
 IP:    51.178.38.45
 PORT:  26950
Requires HKMP Tag

Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!

oh thanks

[autumn crater]

So i cant deal damage and i have no mods enabled but is there a mod that can disable dealing damge or ineracting?

[covert valve]

Some do, does it apply to all saves?

[autumn crater]

Lemme check

No it does not

Just the 1 save

Is it zotes precept lol

Make ur own weapon?

Lol jk but idk

Fyre nest? Qol?

[autumn crater]

Its only the 1 save

[heady kestrel]

If you changed nail damage with a mod that is saved even if you turn the mod off.

[autumn crater]

What mos

[autumn crater]

Which mod should i try

[heady kestrel]

Which mod did you use in the first place?

[autumn crater]

Idk alot

Fyre nest menu changer item changer

Qol?

Any of these?

[heady kestrel]

QoL has an option to reserve things Debug has an option to reset things so if you just want your nail back to normal that's probably your best bet

And I'd recommend being a bit more mindful going forward so you know what you've done in order to undo it

[autumn crater]

Alr

[covert valve]

It seems like debug mod

[autumn crater]

How?

[heady kestrel]

Darn debug us what I meant

moment

[real jacinth]

debug makes changes to your save file

uninstalling the mod doesn't matter. your save file would still be changed

[autumn crater]

Im trying to mods back

[heady kestrel]

I literally was going to say the reset is on first page of binds LOL qol has no binds page I wish caffeine worked for me to wake up properly

[autumn crater]

Mods r back what do i do?

[autumn crater]

Yup fixed it

Reset settings changed by debug

My hollow knight skin isnt loading?

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources

• List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
• Video Tutorial on using CK:
  https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466

🔹 Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:

• Where you installed the skin
• With the directory bar visible
• With the skin images themselves visible

Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

[real jacinth]

run your game as admin and/or update your graphics drivers

igd10iumd64.dll is a graphics driver that's causing an access error, so either it doesn't have the necessary permissions to run, or it's outdated

or both

you could also try deleting all game files, doing a full reinstall, then launching the vanilla game

[pliant lantern]

Wait, is this why random people keep having access errors and various things aren't loading correctly?

[covert valve]

Seems like a driver problem

[old forge]

I noticed that in some of the PNGs, there seem to be some assets that aren't used. Is there any way to replace the used assets with these unused ones? For example, there are some images that look like they could be used for the full (or empty) soul orb in the Chara 3.0 PNG sheet called "Hud," but then there's the actual image used for the full orb soul that isn't in the spreadsheet, and that one, which stands alone, is called "Orbfull." Is there a way to edit the current PNGs that are used or replace them with the unused assets?

Edit: I haven't started a Steel Soul or Godseeker file yet so maybe the assets I've been calling unused are actually used there.

[pliant lantern]

Fwiw, there is a mod that lets you use different HUDs

I forgot the name of it, but it presumably has HUD in the name lol

[covert valve]

Hud changer something

[old forge]

I'll probably check out the mod sometime, although I figured out how to replace the "Orbfull" just through the files. New change looks pretty nice, although changing the nonfull orb, which is part of "Hud" might not be so simple

[pliant lantern]

the nonfull Orb isn't changed by most skins for two reasons:

• The Liquid wasn't supported by CK until relatively recently.
• The "Eyes" overlay isn't dumped by GODump (the mod that rips sprites), because of how they are listed in the game, so the artist needs to actually edit the atlas directly to add them, instead of having them in their normal sprite pack

[old forge]

The skin I'm editing right now is Chara 3.0, and it actually does have a custom nonfull orb. Thing is, in the PNG spreadsheet, there's multiple that look like they could be the one nonfull orb being used, and there's also multiple that look like unused nonfull orbs. I'm basically attempting to make the game read one of the unused nonfull orbs instead of whichever nonfull orb it's using right now.

And all of these nonfull PNGs that I'm talking about are on the "Hud" page, while I was able to replace to full orb easily cause it wasn't on a page and it was its own file

Does the game decide which PNG to use based off of where it is on the spreadsheet?

[heady kestrel]

I think the orbs that are shown on the HUD are for the extra soul vessels, not the main one, although I'm not 100% sure.

although you may be talking about a different section than what I'm thinking of

[old forge]

If you want I can take a screenshot of what I'm doing so that you can see my idea and what I'm looking at

[pliant lantern]

Assuming you mean Spritesheet, then yes

[old forge]

Yeah I meant spritesheet, my bad

[pliant lantern]

This is the sprite for the eyes that are on the non-full orb

Unless you mean these:

[heady kestrel]

those are the ones I was thinking of

the 2nd shot

[pliant lantern]

If you mean the second ones, then you may want to try color coding things to see how it works. Maybe play the game at a slower time scale with debug?

[fringe creek]

psure they're talking about the file orbfull.png vs the image of the full orb in hud.png

maybe? or I'm wrong and misread, I do not have good reading skills

[heady kestrel]

they said the non-full orbs, which brought the small ones to my mind

[pliant lantern]

Does the GODump files for the HUD include numbering the lil' orbs?

I imagine it does

[fringe creek]

the little orbs are dumped, yeah

if I remember correctly, one of the dumped animations is a little wonky, but it ends up not mattering because the animation is repeated and dumped properly elsewhere

[old forge]

(One of) the ones circled with purple is/are the one(s) i was talking about. The one in green is the one I was trying to set as the new nonfull circle
