Do I need to delete these files?

once i have the mods installed do i do anything else or good to load up?

wicked plume
fringe creek
#

if you're not the admin on your computer, you don't.

#

it sounds like you've installed the mod already though and are just having issues with it showing up right

but the skin of the geo if he shows it to me

That's not like the example

I'm trying to install enemy randomizer but It doesn't seem to be working

how do I fix it

Enemy Randomizer for 1.5 (Includes and requires ModCommon for 1.5):
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879133769070706698/966935382308573204/EnemyRandomizerModCommon.zip

Note: if you don't know how to manually install mods that aren't on the installer, type ?tag install into chat.

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.

burnt furnace
#

Yeah I did that

#

still not working

wicked plume
fringe creek
#

ah, there we go. Your skins are two folders deep

#

So your path should be skins> Name of skin
and all the pictures should be there, not skin>Name of skin> additional folder

wicked plume
fringe creek
#

I'm telling you why this particular one is not working.

#

Skins must be:
unzipped
only one folder deep
named correctly

and well

my api wasnt working

but

#

it dosent say anything about it

pliant lantern
#

You have to do all of the steps, in order.

surreal burrow
#

i did

pliant lantern
#

can you explain what your actual issue is then?

#

You're saying "my api isn't working", but like, that doesn't make sense

surreal burrow
#

my mods wouldnt load

pliant lantern
#

What does "my mods won't load" mean to you?

#

Because that can mean a variety of things to different people.

surreal burrow
#

when i load the game up

#

there is no loading bar

#

or mod options

pliant lantern
#

This typically means that you didn't do something correctly when running Scarab.

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".

pliant lantern
#

^after doing this, install at least one mod

surreal burrow
#

what does it mean by 4 installers

#

oh

#

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

if i mod 1.5

#

wont it screw with my achievements

#

hmmm

#

now my mods wont load

but

#

it managed to load the game

If you just updated back to 1.5, you need to install a mod with scarab to activate the modding api.

are you running discord client with admin perms

I dont think so

thats a likely cause of the internal error

running discord as admin prevents the mod from working lmao@burnt furnace

oh

restarted discord not as admin

thats interesting

did discord decide to update their game sdk and break things again

#

let me check

#

they did

burnt furnace
#

oh

honest flax

im gonna test the mod myself zote

#

ok the mod also doesnt work for me its probably game sdk update

#

i can provide the new game sdk files rn

burnt furnace
#

i dont even know what is that

honest flax
#

the library files / dll files that discord rich presence mod requires to use
it automatically installs them by itself with the dlls already attached inside the dll but those are old ones

#

i'll actually confirm if it does work tho

#

huh..

#

ok well the update is actually broken by the new game sdk update wai

#

i'll push an update in a short time (hopefully)

uninstall mods one at a time until it works

start with additionalmaps and vanilla maps mods

# novel bronze What mods do you have installed, if any

I'll speed this up, if that didn't change since last time the game is vanilla, they bought it on steam, are on macOS High Sierra (probably because later versions of the OS aren't available for their computer), with 4gb ram, an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB, idk which cpu. We didn't find the terminal command to launch the game, well, from terminal, either because the path was wrong or there was a typo somewhere or something changed regarding how terminal works between their OS and the current one. They tried reinstalling the game, both 1.4 and 1.5, verifying the files, running from steam, none of that worked

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.

wispy solar

accidentally removed all of my notches and spamming "add charm notch" isn't bringing them back, if I delete/disable the debug mod will they come back?

heady kestrel
#

Disabling debug does not revert the changes. I don't know why add notch wouldn't work though

wispy solar
#

I was playing for a few hours with decrease notch set to spacebar so I might have just jumped too many times

#

I'll keep trying to add notches for a few minutes

heady kestrel
#

Your other option would be save editing (although I'm not super familiar with how that works it might be the best bet if your notches actually got set to some absurd negative number)

If you don't have that, run your game once now that you have qol installed

Pretty sure it only generates if you open it with qol installed

that's what I'm trying to figure out how to do fleacrying

#

Open up your game with qol installed them open your save file

Then go into your save folder and it should be there

Should I just make a new save and benchwarp around to get everything back?

Did you even open up your save file in game

#

go to your save files, do you see a userx.json file like the bottom one here in your save location

can you show the top of your file explorer

hi im new here, can someone explain to me how to install custom skin?

dense shuttleBOT
#

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources

🔹 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):

saves can't affect other saves like that

On the Jason file I mean

If you're using the Qol Json, then you also need to load the game with Qol installed

#

Restarting but game was opened, I was ingame, and I made sure to save before I closed the notepad

restarted and it's at -897 again

You have to make edits while the game is closed

Close the game, then open the file, then edit the file, then save the file, then close the file, then open the game

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources

🔹 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

hey i just tried using scarab, i just installed a mod on it then my pc suddenly restarted, then it popped up the windows didn't load properly window. after that my pc went through this large process then turned back on, anyone know what happened?

#

since i'm kinda worried to try downloading anymore mods from scarab

pliant lantern
#

Scarab (and HK Mods in-general) don't do anything on a system level

#

Scarab literally just downloads the mod files, and moves them all into the correct places.
The mods themselves are mostly all on github, and they augment the game in some way

#

When your PC has sudden restarts, it usually gives you an error that happened. You can reference that error code to learn what your issue is.

Hi all, is there a way in Randomizer to only randomize charm costs? I selected vanilla for every options, but I can't seem to find the vanilla option for "Cost Randomization".

heady kestrel
#

Yes it's under miscellaneous

gritty citrus
#

Are there any audiovisual enhancing mods for people with those sorts of disabilities

#

Colorblindness, etc

#

Because for some people, a lacking of these options makes parts of the game completely impossible to complete.

#

Especially since it's as easy as adding an option to change textures

@autumn hatch
#modding-discussion message

Make sure that you're installing mods when the game is Closed, and that you're running Scarab as Administrator. Then reinstall your mods (Qol and Vasi)

autumn hatch
#

I am installing them when the game is closed, and I'm not having issues with any other mods, but I can try running it as Administrator

#

Still not working...

#

I tried removing every other mod, and it's still happening, so I know it's not an issue with those

pliant lantern
#

You may want to reset Scarab?
Unless you're out of Harddrive memory, then there's not reason that mods would "uninstall themselves". The only reason ones seemingly do that is when they aren't actually installed to begin with.

#

?tag reset

dense shuttleBOT
autumn hatch
#

Sorry, it's not uninstalling itself, it's just changing the setting in-game from "on" to "off"

#

Like the mod is still there, just the in-game setting to toggle it keeps getting set to "off"

pliant lantern
#

If you open your Save Files location, you can delete qol.globalsettings.json and the .bak version. Doing so should reset it entirely.

warm roost
#

Did you check if QoL was working despite being set to off in the game settings?

autumn hatch
#

I think some things were working? Like I could sell-all to Lemm. But the issue here was that the Crystalized Mound pogos weren't working despite that setting within QoL being set to on

pliant lantern
#

I'm pretty sure this all started because it wasn't working

#

Sell to Lemm is part of Rando itself iirc. (It has it's own QoL features) ((but maybe it's part of QoL now??))

autumn hatch
#

Ah yeah then I don't think it was working at all

warm roost
#

Ah, because I actually have a display issue with qol, when I launch the game it is set to off in the settings while being activated

autumn hatch
#

What are some other things I could test?

pliant lantern
#

Inventory Drops

#

If you can open Inventory while in the air

#

then it's working

autumn hatch
#

Ope well I just tested it and yeah everything is working now, including the pogos. I have no idea what fixed it because I was trying over and over while messing with things and it would not work

Note: if you don't know how to manually install mods that aren't on the installer, type ?tag install into chat.

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.

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. We also will not help you if you have pirated the game. If you continue, further action could be taken.

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

wawa sorry i rambled a bit, i tried to specify it as much as i can

helloo me and my lover had been trying to use hkmp for a while(as in months) now, and ive been reading the notion about it for like at least 20 mins now trying to figure out what we did wrong? (we're using zerotier btw, im hosting) because she keeps getting connection timed out whenever she tries to join TT

we both have the same version of the mods, the same addons and other mods, we made sure we have the same on everything, we also tried to type the ip itself manually, idk if its just me being dumb or not

all of our statuses on the website is online so im a bit confused what im doing wrong TT

we both use the 26950 port also

we've also tried other hosting platforms? I can always try again but yeah o(_( its funky

it worked i think almost a year ago now? but,, when we tried to do a diff server it just changedd

we've tried writing it manually, ive checked if every mod we both had and the versions, also the scarab version and the zero tier version

its constantly just connection timed out for months now

#

the only difference i can think of is she plays on a mac

#

i have read it multiple times beesive

real jacinth

#

omg im literate

connection timed out usually means IPs are not being entered correctly, or you both aren't connected in zerotier/hamachi/etc

boreal iron
#

yeahh and we've checked, we're both online and we've tried copy and pasting n manually typing sob

real jacinth
#

or the host will "start hosting" and then connect to an IP after that for some reason, even though they don't need to

#

when you click start hosting, that's it

#

don't change anything

boreal iron
#

oh thats what i meant TT, i dont change anything, i just tell her to manually type it or copy/paste it

#

without the slashes/numbers after the slash ofc

I know that what I’m about to send isn’t rlly modding. But I was told more technically versed ppl where here. I accidentally updated my MacOs to 10.14.6. Dose this mean I can no longer play HK? I really hope it isn't the case as I have 209 hrs ( i know that isn't that much but I really like the game)

tired plinth
#

Are mac updates known to stop you from playing games?

inland wing
#

It said minimum was Mac.Os 10.13

#

64 bit or smthn in brackets next to it.

tired plinth
#

Have you tried playing after your update?

inland wing
#

It says this

heady kestrel
#

Minimum = least required. If you're above it that's fine

tired plinth
#

maybe go check for HK support instead of mods support, I think #hk-help is better? Not sure

inland wing
#

Didn’t Mac updates stop supporting 64 bit? Is Hk even 64 bit?

tired plinth
#

I think 1.4.2 is 32 bits

Scarab doesn't open correctly on MacOS
🔹 Move the file you downloaded (mac.zip) to your Desktop
🔹 Double-Click it, and Scarabmaggotprime should appear
🔹 Right-Click the Scarabmaggotprime icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file.

Error: (MacOS) ⚠️ Scarab cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Solution:

  • In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open.
    Don’t use Launchpad to do this! It doesn’t allow access the shortcut menu.

  • Control + click the app icon, then choose "Open" from the shortcut menu.

  • Click "Open".

The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it like normal.

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".

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. We also will not help you if you have pirated the game. If you continue, further 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.

# faint mortar i need help in the custom trial mod

Fwiw, it's not that you're being ignored, it's that not many people are very experienced/familiar with using Custom Trial, and thus there aren't many people who really can help you.

You'll want to ensure that you've read the ReadMe for it. Other than that, I'm pretty sure it works by you editing your Global Settings file for it (located in your save files folder). I've heard of other people having issues where their changes get wiped by the .bak upon loading the game (which will happen typically only if there are errors), so as a precaution you may want to delete the .bak version after saving your changes to the regular one.

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!

So I did that but I open the game and the bak file just appears again and the trial just ends. The crowd cheers stops and then cheers again and then done

#

When I go back to the .Json file it's practically enpty

pliant lantern
#

After you make your edits, you can save it as both the .json and as the .json.bak . That may get around your issue?
Typically speaking, the only reason it should fail though is if there is a typo in the json file. You may want to use a website to verify that you didn't make a typo before running HK

i keep on seeing .xml being mentioned on every pastebin

Does anyone know why there are red lines on some of the frames from the knight (custom knight creator). Should I keep those lines even though it makes the animation look weird because it distorts them?

If you mean a red box, that's the limit for the sprite. If you mean something else I'm not sure

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

I used to play on Chromebook with Geforce now. Now I have a mac to play on but none of of my hollow knight saves are there. I downloaded the last save on steam cloud but it is in windows format. What do I do?

pliant lantern

Saves aren't in OS specific formats

#

?tag savefiles

dense shuttleBOT
#

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

🔹 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.

What is the difference between game files and save files

pliant lantern
#

Game Files are where the game's files are.
Save Files are where the Save files are.

#

A game file is part of the game itself.
A save file is your data within the game.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879133769070706698/966935382308573204/EnemyRandomizerModCommon.zip

Note: if you don't know how to manually install mods that aren't on the installer, type ?tag install into chat.

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.

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources

🔹 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
