Hey guys I havent modded any of my games before and i want to do an item randomizer and add some skins. How should I start
If I am playing multiplayer with a friend and our items WERE synced but no longer are how would one fix that
Looking to start modding Hollow Knight? Here's your guide to get started. It's now easier than ever, and if you have problems, there's a great Discord server with plenty of people who can help you out. HKMP (multiplayer) will be covered in a separate video at a later date.
SCARAB DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/latest
MO...
I used that
thanks ill look at that
is this what you mean? sorry if it isn't, am not very sure
Yeah that's it. I'm not good at debugging errors but it looks like the server lost connection to the client at some point and couldn't grab them
Is there a mod that lets me cheat in a simple key?
And journal entries
Made a mistake while downpatching and corrupted anything above 1221
?tag saveedit
🔹 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.
Can anyone tell me why the EnemyHPBar mod doesn't work for me? I will attach the Modlog.txt file below
Seems common #modding-discussion message
There's a bug with the recent update to the mod.
You
-
Need Custom Knight installed (which is either an error in the update, or just incorrectly not listed as being required right now)
-
Need your Custom Knight skin (Default if you don't want a skin) to have a
HPBarfolder inside of it. That Folder may also need to contain your desired EHPBar skin.
Yhanks
There's a planned integration with Custom Knight, but
A. CK needs an update to fix part of it, and
B. EHPBar isn't supposed to require CK afaik; it's just supposed to use a skin if it exists.
Also, I've heard of one person simply restarting their game once and it worked, so it may only throw the error when first launching the game with the update 
?tag modlog
ModLog

You're talking to me ?
no,he's talking to the devil
after i verified file integrity of HK (due to the achievements bench problem) mods havent been working, i saw pins mention something something mod installer and scarab, but i know basically nothing about how anything actually works, and i dont know what to do
You need to reinstall a mod to get them to work again

even after selecting the custom path, it says invalid, plz help TwT

does someone know where i can find modcommon in a .dll file ?
In any rads folder

Hey uhhh, i tried using the palace of fools mod, and it doesn't seem to be working
I put it in swapper, and now it's stuck on dumping the sprites
why did you dump the sprites?
It mentioned something about swapper supporting and i assumed i needed to do this, since it wasn't working properly
I'm assuming that's not what i was supposed to do.
im tryna set up hkmp and i have no idea what to do lmao
wait nvm

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)
🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
🔹 Video guide: https://youtu.be/zKEjNSk8AgM
🔹 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: tag.hkmp.org
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!
pce yall! recently picked up the game again after beating the main storyline. im trying to do the delicate flower mission and destroyed my flower, it happened twice. but i am now unable to pick up another flower. i choose yes but they respond as if i pressed no. and then i quit the game forgetting it saves and so idk how to get back to an older save, or how to fix the bug
what mods are you using
I dont know how to download Scrab from Github, can anyone help?
Just go to the releases page & choose the one that matches your OS
What do I do from here?
As I said above, choose the one that matches your OS

my fav mod stopped working and idk why :( its called Vanilla Map Mod. i made sure it wasnt out of date and that it was enabled. i tried uninstalling and installing and still nothing. made sure i had the mods it uses enabled. tried disabling other mods trying to figure out if it was a compatibility thing. idk what to do
what do you mean by stopped working? Is it showing an error message for it in the corner when you load in the game or anything?
ill check
Also I'd suggest uninstalling/reinstalling its dependencies - Scarab isn't always accurate about what is out of date
Can you send your modlog?

is there a way for like the other players game to look like yours like u see the same boss and mobs and everything?
Good, how can I play mods on hollow knight if I don't download it from steam?
Depends
Where did you get it from?
Cause some places may work some others wont
Gamepass for pc does indeed work, following the normal guide will work but when it asks you for a path and it isnt automatically found you may need to follow this
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

Otherwise, check your ModLog
Tried restarting and didn't work- also ended up reinstalling the API itself

Yep things are okay now
?tag crash
❗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 Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

I mean I use scarab and My hollow knight version is the latest
HELP, i used scarab's debug md and bymistake game myself an extra mask can you help me?
i want reverse i feel it as it is unfair
I mean I don’t even have debug mod and doesn’t work for me. All i know is that you use f1 to open settings
Where you got the game from/what game version?
Wdym you have no idea
Also it may be that yours isnt the latest but you think it is
Its above 1.4.3.2 thats all I know
Ok... where did you get it from again? That would help know what version you have
Yeah thats why it doesnt work
Im also pretty sure you cant mod a switch
Even if its modded itself, idk never tried it
oh
so pirated version never works on modded?
makes sense
i guess its missing a lot of stuff, but how come it doesnt work? any more reasons?
byut why wont it work though?
it literally just crashes 😦
i swear if i download a single mod, the game just crashes
I dont know unfortunately
Various reasons i dont have the time to list
Yes
i dont have the time to list
s u m m a r i z e

i dont know how xbox version works, ask the others

so i am rn playing the randomizer with basicly every addon. i have got one of us power. that should do a spore shroom cloud every 12 seconds. when i got it it worked but after i died (i think) it didnt work anyone.
please tag me when someone can try and help
Is that from loremaster? Do you have all the powers from that zone? (Otherwise it won't work in other areas)
^
it is from loremaster
wdym with do you have all the powers form that zone
cause its a randomizer afterall
As far as I know the loremaster restrictions still hold
well the weird thing is is that it used to work
but idk the restrictions you say of from the loremasters mod
If you pick up a fungal power, it only works in fungal until you have all of the fungal powers.
There was a bug where the power worked where you picked it up but I thought that was fixed but maybe not
Have you looked at the readme?
ah that restriction. so it would only work in teh original area where it normally spawns instead of teh area where you got iy?
yea
Yes
Hello, I'm trying to use a custom skin in 1.2.2.1, I used the steam beta to downpatch to 1.2.2.1 and I put the debugmod dll for 1.2.2.1 in the mods folder and it worked. But when I try installing custom knight with scarab the game won't launch. Help pls
scarab is not for 1221
What can I use for 1221?
Debug
Current 1221 Modding Resources
The Modding API is not allowed to be installed for most runs. This is used for practice purposes.
🔹 1221 Modding API (needed to make other mods work): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/822611561427370054/835911691703156746/Assembly-CSharp.dll
🔹 1221 Debug (For giving/removing items, making save states, and more):

🔹 1221 Benchwarp (warp to benches): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/822611561427370054/835455873212088360/Benchwarp.zip
🔹 HKTimer (a simple in-game timer):
https://github.com/Yurihaia/HollowKnight-Timer/releases/download/v0.1.1/HKTimer.zip
🔸 MiniSaveStates for 1221 (cannot be used with other mods!):
https://github.com/Yurihaia/MiniSavestates/releases/download/1.2/Assembly-CSharp.dll
Note: MiniSaveStates is not compatible with other 1221 mods, but it is allowed for IL runs.
For more information about Hollow Knight Speedrunning, please join the official Discord for it, pinned in #speedrunning or found on https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight
Btw you technically can have custom knight for 1221
But it uses a different format or smth so normal skins wont work
I dont really know much
Ohh okay
Thanks!
Can I have both the most recent version with mods and a 1221 for speedrunning without needing to reinstall every time?
That the ability works immediately in the area where you pick them up is intended. Though after you leave the area it behaves like it should and only works in the zone where it would be normally. I figured this was the best solution to let the player immediately use it, cause otherwise they might forget it, when they enter the original zone and can't determine what has changed.
Especially if they don't know where the abilities would be normally, though this changes with 2.0 since every lore tablets region has its own sprite.
I see, thanks for the clarification!

Hi friends. Not really sure if this is a modding problem, but it didn't start happening until I downloaded the updated Scarab and all my mods. I play on my laptop and for some reason while in game my RIGHT ARROW KEY kills me (like-my-shade-appears die), but all my other buttons are just fine (i.e. if I switch my right movement key to another one I can move right). I have searched messages to see if it's been happening to anyone else and haven't seen it (although I could be wrong). I've updated and reinstalled all my mods, Made sure my game is up-to-date... I'm stumped. I suppose I could delete all the mods/reset game files, but I'd rather that be the last resort. Any help is appreciated thanks.
Do you have debug installed? If so check the bind on the kill option
Don't worry about it the knight just tripped
Okay I literally just hit "reset keybinds" on debug and now it's fine.... somehow it got set to that. Thanks!

I think i broke soul sanctum lmao
I closed and reopened the game and it's still like that, but it seems to be isolated to soul sanctum. I'll explore some more of the map but I may have corrupted my save file somehow
I somehow managed to walk to city storerooms without dying. Took the stag to greenpath and that looked fine, stag back to storerooms and it seems to be fixed now? That was weird.

you don't need to use hkmp anyway
Can i only have one steelsoul save because when i try making another one it doesnt show up. is it because of my mods?
is this the right place to ask?
There is no reason for it not to show up
Are you sure you didn’t delete all your previous save files or smt ?
Godseaker mod is also missing
This happens if you clear your registry or move to another computer
Have yall figured out how infinite loads work/how to stop them if they happen frequently?
I don't know if infinite loads have been sufficiently understood but this is probably the best place to ask
hello, my friend is having an issue running hollow knight, his game crashes whenever he enters a loading zone, it gets stuck on the loading screen and it freezes right after, asked in #hk-help and i was told this was an "infinite loading" glitch
we're tried capping fps as i read someone here managed to fix the issue with that, but it didn't help, playing on 32bit compatibility version didn't help either
my friend's running windows 7 64bit with a amd radeon 7450 gpu, 6gbs ram and a 3.10 ghz processor. He's running the game on steam without mods.
addendum: he always seems to crash at a stag room
IIrc infinite loads are linked to VRAM/memory. I don't believe there is known way to stop/mitigate them but i could be wrong
You turn off vsync and cap fps with rivatuner to an fps below what it's running at before you do that. If you're on a bad laptop and you cap fps you may have not actually reduced the fps or vram load on the GPU.
A Radeon 7450 is pretty bad. So it's likely that the fps cap used was not low enough for that gpu
my friend went down to 12 fps cap, still got infinite loading
How do i fix it?
Hello! Is this the right place to ask directions on how to install and use mods / mod managers for HK? If not, can you direct me appropriately?
Yeah this is the place

Thanks, will do; I am very new to Discord so I will try to navigate.
Oo, nice, I see the pinned messages, seem very helpful. I am on Linux, so I will have to see if there are any specific guides.
It should be pretty similar to the windows version
may have to run scarab with the terminal but shell scripts exist for that
OK! I see the github has a linux-specific zip, I'll look for instructions there

After installing, in order to actually use the mod
When the mod is correctly installed, you should see it at the top-left of your main menu, with the other mods you have installed.
If there is also some larger text that says "Load Enemy Randomizer", then press that button to randomize the enemies using the default settings (Note: you will need to wait a few minutes while this loads). If the button is not there, then go into Options > Mods, and Disable the mod, and then re-enable it. You will also need to close the game entirely, and re-open it.
No need to spoiler outside of #hk-help btw
ok ty
infinite loading screens are crashes. but regardless, this looks like their hardware is failing.
If its a hardware issue is there nothing he can do other than building a new pc
no
can't really fix bad parts unless you know how they're made
even so, the GPU and probably other parts, are 8+ years old
and weren't made to run current era games
You know whats messed up, my friend could run hk (at very suboptimal performance) before he got his amd gpu
My friends pc is very old and was trying to upgrade it
He didnt have inf loads before getting the gpu
Is there any way my friend could run the game off of integrated graphics rarher than gpu?
if the cpu can handle double duty
Hello again! I followed instructions and installed several mods for HK. Most work fine. I am having a minor issue with the custom knight skin mod: all changes apply, except for the masks, the soul vessel and the surrounding decoration. This happens for every skin I have tried; does anyone know what could be the issue? I am on 1.5.78 on Linux and tested with only custom knight mod on.
One more piece of information: I am using the GOG version of Hollow Knight.

🔹 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

How would one go about telling the game to run off od integrated graphics instead of gpu?
you don't just tell the game to do that
you have to set the whole pc to run off integrated graphics
Here is a screenshot of a skin I tried; most sprites appear in the game, but the soul vessel and surroundings do not
by changing your display settings
the soul meter only shows as that sprite when full

im having the same issue, heres the screenshot,
what's the problem?
Some of the file names in the skins that do not work have the wrong capitalization, at least in linux (that has case-sensitive filenames). For instance, by renaming the file HuD.png to Hud.png, I got the decorations to show.
i think i found the problem for the daughter of hallownest skin
i might have found my issue
none of the skin sprites are even in the damn folder
it just has the hollow knight data folder that you can get to by just going to browse local files
so i dunno how tf im supposed to download this skin
this is the only sprite actually in here
wait
WAIT
NVM
they're in there but really deep
like through the managed, then to mods, to custom knight, you gotta pull em out there i think
yeah
for me the skin had a whole hollow_knight_Data folder in it
with mods then custom knight then the skin itself
time to test it
IT WORKS
so one was missing the swap folder, the other was extremely buried
how did you do it?
you just pulled the folder out of the hollow knight data and put it in the other folder you started with
ones that are structured like this were intended to be merged with your data folder, not copy/pasted into the skins folder
but this also looks like the older 1.4 structure anyways
make sure it has the swap folder like this in it
if it doesnt just copy it from a working skin
thats what i did at least
swap isn't needed if you don't use any swapper functionality
oh?
i had one skin that was mising that folder and wasnt working, i copyed one into it and it worked
YES I GOT IT TO WORK
exactly what you said
i just moved the hornet sprites from the hollow knight data, into the proper folder and put them in my custom knight skins folder
but now i gotta go to school lmao
it says this but im choosing my hollow_knight_data folder why is this happening?
ah
is anyone able to tell me why that map layout appears every time I bench? these are my used Mods:
it disappears when I shortly tap M for my Map
@uneven tartan I cannot help particularly, but people are advised not to enable too many mods at once. To see if a mod is at fault, disable mods one by one until the problem disappears. This will indicate possible mods responsible.
I have a question: is there a mod to show all hitboxes/hurtboxes, including that of the knight, and area collisions? DebugMod as I understand only shows enemy hitboxes.
can somebody tell me what this is? im trying to use the hollowpoint mod, also even when i change my charms my gun stays as a marksman rifle
what mod makes me able to dash down left and right + up left and right
fire used it in the lore rando playthrough

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.
try uninstalling compassalwayson. and check on the title screen for any errors. just because scarab shows something as enabled, doesn't mean it is
Especially if you have used the disable and enable buttons previously
i tried reloading the save and its still the same
I uninstalled it, loaded into the game, no errors but its still there, haven't disabled/enabled any mods so far, only installed and played a few hours
not that its bothering me that much, just in case anyone knew whats up with that. Thanks anyway!
are any of your mods showing as out of date in scarab
screenshotting your title screen may help too
I installed them like 2 days ago, they are all up to date.
what do you mean by title screen? out of game or when I pause the game?
The screen that has the game title
yea english is not my first language. Here you go:
additional maps could be causing issues. try removing that
looks good w/o it. Thanks
Which is the current program to use for mods? first it was one but then it got changed to a new one i think?
scarab was the normal one but then people said we need to use the new one and i remember that one not working well or something
Saying "scarab was" is way too soon
so i can still use scarab?
I think there is some confusion, scarab is the new program, and modinstaller was the old one; as far as I understand it.
oh yeah that might be the case you are right
does scarab actually work now then?
of course
At the pinned messages there is a fireb0rn video with detailed steps on how to install scarab and add mods with it
Scarab is for 1.5
Mod Installer 1/2 is for 1.4
is there any place you can read more info about the mods on scarab
On scarab
oh it has on it
Click the mod names
okay cool thanks
Im looking for a randomizer which of the randomizer mods would be best for this?
theres several and they all seem to do different things so im not sure
Randomizer
randomizer 4?
if what it says is what you want, yes
Randomizer is the main one lik mickely said. But I highly recommend the pinned video, fireb0rn discusses the randomizer mods in detail.
okay i will see
Hello, I just downloaded this game through the xbox application on pc and I found it very fun, I only have the problem of saving
because I don't know how to solve it every time I try to go to the menu and save to exit the game,
it loads for a while and then nothing happens since I continue in the game but if I try to exit by closing the program
my progress is deleted because it seems that the autosave does not work either, please someone help me with this problem. I would thank that very much.
Only leave the game through the menus. Never force close your game.
I alwais exit giving exit but when the game stops saving i cant exit otherwise
I'm not understanding what you're saying you're doing. Since there's no mods involved, make sure your gamepass settings are appropriate and verify your game file integrity or reinstall your game to ensure nothing is corrupted
okay thanks
are there any mods that would let me do ||PoP|| over and over??
Anyone knows where can I find the trial of the absolute fool mod?
Custom trial
I have a remote ubuntu server setup for hosting minecraft servers, would that work for HKMP, and if so what info do I put in?
nvm, just decided to use hamachi
also, my friend is having massive FPS issues, are there any mods that might help with that?
Mods do the opposite of add fps
blindradiance might help though

hi! im new
i have a question: my game is downpatched to 1.4.3.2 and i tried using the modinstaller but it doesnt work, a picture of the error is below
i looked in pinned messages but didnt see anything for 1.4.3.2 so do i need to use a different version of the game now? or am i just dumb and not seeing something obvious
edit: i was being dumb lol, its fixed
Does anyone know how to get the add on to HKMP that allows you to see each other's enemies?
It's on scarab
Do you know the search term for it?

tysm!
i assume you have a reason to downpatch but if you dont i would recommend using scarab as modding on 1432 is no longer supported / can have some issues
Hey- I am trying to open Hollow Knight after downloading some mods and the game stays black with the rainbow Mac loading circle forever
What can I do to fix it?
?tag crash
❗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 Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
Oh! Im using Scarab. Should I use no betas?
Why would you use betas in the first place?
I originally had an older version of modinstaller for 1.4.3.2
Can I use a controller for this? I am on Mac
where do i get skins for the custom knight mod

SPLATOON 3 REF-

is there a mod that removes the double damage for ascended godhome bosses for easier p5 practice?
or a mod that lets you practice from benches in pantheons?
Hey I’m trying to downpatch to 1.2.2.1 and searched a guide it said to do it through steam click hollow knight, properties then betas but it says I need an acces code
hollow point
thx
you dont need an access code just choose 1221 from the dropdown menu
Don't attempt to ping everyone, especially in a server with almost 200k members, for a problem like this, wait for someone to respond. It doesn't even work anyway, but please.
i installed the toggleable bindings mod tho I don't see how to use them
in the mod options, there isn't anything referring to the mod
gun is modified via charms
Go near a bench, don't sit on it, look down and press C-Dash button I think.
If it doesn't work I forgot. 
that's a weird thing to do to activate a mod.
but ok, i'll let you know when I get home
It's a weird way, that's why it's so forgettable unless you use it a lot.

I do not know where to ask this so I will ask it here:
I recently built a pc and first thing I installed was, of course, Hollow Knight. But when I opened it and tried to play a steel soul playthrough the options to choose either steel soul and godseeker mode weren't there. Anyone know why? (Also the singing Zote menu theme wasnt there either.) (I do not mind playing through the classic game one time to unlock steel soul, but is there any way to recover it right now?
Are your previous saves there?
this happens whenever you move to a new computer. If you still have your saves, you don't need to replay the whole game, just beat thk again.
nothing is showing up. just i press start. i select normal or steel soul and that's it
Colette is talking about the upper left corner on the main menu. If your mods are properly installed and the api is active, they should be listed there. If there's nothing at all, then try re-installing them.
can someone help me with HKMP?

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)
🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
🔹 Video guide: https://youtu.be/zKEjNSk8AgM
🔹 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: tag.hkmp.org
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!
i followed the instructions, but it says connection time out
i am trying to host one on hamachi
go through the instructions again. if you did the steps correctly, it wouldn't say timed out
very likely, the incorrect IP is being used
it needs the hamachi IP's near the power button
oh
i see
thank you
still the same
he made one without IP
and gave me the Hamachi's IPv4
The guide has a FAQ section that covers troubleshooting for connection methods. Look at the Hamachi section there.
why is my friend invisible in hkmp for me but he can see me
Hey, can someone help me please ? I have a problem with light bringer
elaborate
Well, i tried to download it from different sources
From the pinned message too
But or the mod doesn't appear in the top left of the screen when i'm in-game
Or there's an error "call constructor failed" (or something like that)
So i always fail when i try to play with the mod
My patch ? Like 1.5.x.x ? If yes, i'm in the last version that steam has
So i think it's 1.5.78.11833
use the version from the pins

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.

?tag crash
❗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 Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
is there a mod that allows you to give yourself certain charms instead of getting all of them at once
how can i change sounds in the game?
Custom bgm iirc

Hello, my friends and I are trying to play HKMP. item sync works for us, but even though we installed HKMP mod and connected to the same server (public server) we can't see each other and interact...
What is the problem? why is not it working? I would appreciate an explanation.
?tag hkmp
HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)
🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
🔹 Video guide: https://youtu.be/zKEjNSk8AgM
🔹 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: tag.hkmp.org
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!
Are there any mods that show how many times you've fought/won against bosses in God Home or something? I'm just curious how many times I've been wrecked by radiance and my overall success rate.

After installing, in order to actually use the mod
When the mod is correctly installed, you should see it at the top-left of your main menu, with the other mods you have installed.
If there is also some larger text that says "Load Enemy Randomizer", then press that button to randomize the enemies using the default settings (Note: you will need to wait a few minutes while this loads). If the button is not there, then go into Options > Mods, and Disable the mod, and then re-enable it. You will also need to close the game entirely, and re-open it.

- 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

Hi, I'm new to modding and new to Hollow Knight, I bought the game on steam and I have tried using scarab to mod, but whenever I go in game the mods never work, can someone help, I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong
Do the mods show up in the upper left on the main menu at all?
No, I have tried restarting my laptop many times but they never appear, all the mods that I want to add are downloaded but they never show
If they're not showing up at all then you likely pointed Scarab towards the wrong file path
Oh ok, do you have an idea on what the file might be called?
It should be the file containing Hollow Knight data.
Okay thank you, I'll give it a try
Nope that still Isn't working, is there anything else that I could be doing wrong?
The only other thing that comes to mind is if you have multiple hk installs and are opening the unmodded copy.

does anyone know if any of these mods would make bosses do double contact damage to me? or maybe something else i've missed? it's only bosses and only contact damage:
i'm not overcharmed, got these charms equipped, 1 notch each apart from gathering swarm which is 0
From what I've seen recently, probably charm crab
thank you, that looks like it! not mentioned directly on their github readme but it's implied
Is scarab a newer version of radiance, or completely different modding api?
Radiance isn’t a modding api iirc, that said scarab is 100% what you should install to play with mods
have hollow knight mods been updated to work on the most recent version?

I keep getting an error that says it is in a format that is not supported
What is giving you that error?
Hi! anyone knows why after some time the with the randomizer mod it only gives the item "nothing?" its getting kinda annoying
What settings did you put the randomizer on?
there is a chest that gives nothing in the junk pit, and depending on your settings you probably have additional flags for getting nothing in return
it could be the randomize junk pit chests option then?
we dont know what options you have on
Are you playing AreaBlitz?
"nothing" is the junk pit chest with the lumafly that floats out
it is on
Did you read what AreaBlitz does before using it?
not really xD

Does Scarab automatically open when I open Hollow Knight?
no
So I need to manually open it every time I want to play HK?
you only need to open it when you want to change your mods
if you have mods enabled then no need to open scarab just to play
and HK needs to be closed to install mods
ohhh thats cool
ah ok

__Common fixes for controller issues __
🔹 Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
🔹 Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen
🔹 Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode
🔹 Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program

You probably set your nail damage to 0 somehow, you can use debug to set it back to a normal value (that said I think lightbringer reduces nail damage so I’m not sure what damage the game wants you to have with lightbringer on)
is there a mod that allows you to unlock the entire map at once

How to fix Installer Errors
🔹 Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
🔹 Make sure that all 4 installer files have been Extracted from the .zip and that the new folder isn't in your Downloads folder. (Extract the 4 files to your desktop)
🔹 Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".
Oh ok, sorry
I don't have an installer file
I just got Scarab from Github
and it worked yesterday
If you have Scarab, that is the installer file
Ok I moved Scarab folder away from downloads
let's see if it works
Nope
I ran scarab.exe as administrator, doesn't work
I still get the same message
so scarab.exe is the installer file?
This doesn't work
do you have all these in the folder
yes
Did you extract the files from the zip?
Yes
The modinstaller itself works, it only gives me that error when I install something
try uninstalling scarab and then reinstall it
I did
Now I'm doing the same thing but first I'm reinstalling Hollow Knight
I reinstalled both and I still get the error
What path did you give to Scarab?
In desktop I have a folder called Scarab-modinstaller with the 4 files inside it
I named the folder that
No I'm talking about the path to your hk files that you gave to Scarab the first time you opened it after installing it
Remove it from your downloads folder
"it"
The whole folder
The one with scarab in it
I just want the 4 files not inside a folder?
outside downloads
It was
desktop preferably
still didn't work
in a folder
I did
runned as admin?
no
Very bad application
does anyone know which mod is making me deal less damage and gain less soul?
I have the 4 files in a folder called "windows" on my desktop, after freshly installing HK, then the modinstaller
it makes me kill a tiktik with three hits on base nail and i gain barely any soul
modinstaller path is set to Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/Hollow Knight
what do I do?
nope ,your skissue 
Even when I run Scarab.exe as administrator, I get that same error message
oh noo a Dark Souls nerd
did you even send that one here?
this was my original issue
install a other mod
(Did this really need a ping?) Yes, Scarab is the installer & an .exe is a file
I don't know if there's a stand alone mod but Pixellate is one of the camera effects availabe in Hollow Twitch (Crowd Control)
Hi, can somebody help me? I install scarab & tried to open the game and it has crashed, i don't know why lmfao

You cannot say that
This guide is incredibly well made, your just too lazy to follow it
And no one is making a new one just for you
Or maybe
If you actually want some help try to explain what is not working when you try out the guide
Or what you don’t understand
Aka doing something other than waiting for us to mouth feed you every mouse mouvement you will have to do to make skins work
If I'm gonna be honest I am probable making some really small dumb mistake
