warm roost
#

To install mods yes, if you don't want to change which mods are installed then no

fickle sparrow
#

k thanks

#

ill try now

warm roost
#

But you want might to verify the files integrity before reinstalling mods given the fact that the game crashed earlier, or at least reinstall a mod

Helpful information includes:

  • A detailed explanation of the problem that you're having
  • What you've tried so far
  • What Operating system you're on
  • Where you got the game from
  • What patch you're on

Additionally, please ensure that you've checked channel pins 📌 to see if it's a common problem.

after you've done that, then launch the game

fickle sparrow

#

?tag reset

dense shuttleBOT
real jacinth
#

resetting the installer and the settings with everything closed

then launch scarab

it uses the same settings file spot as the old stuff, so it might be confused

🔹 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

🔹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.

Hey. Just started playing hollow knight and I guess I am at the end(?) anyway I wanted to add life bars to enemies for my next play through. After some searching on the net I was told to check the hollow knight discord for more information. Am I at the right place? If so how do I get started to add life bars ? 🙂

abstract badger
#

Do you know how to install mods?

naive steppe
#

with nexus yes and how to add folders to the game folder is also not a problem. i just need to know what to add

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!

__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):

How to Take Screenshots
Taking and posting Screenshots makes troubleshooting a lot simpler, and is far more legible than taking a picture of your monitor. For more detailed instructions and options, see https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

🔹 Windows

  • Press WindowsKey + Shift + s at the same time.
  • Click at the corner of what you want to capture, then drag to select the region, and let go of the click when you have it highlighted.
  • In Discord, press Ctrl + V to paste the image.

🔹 MacOS

  • Press Shift + Command + 3 at the same time. (Note: you can press 4 instead of 3 to select an area)
  • A thumbnail icon will appear that you can click to edit, or wait a moment and the image will appear on your Desktop. You can drag-and-drop that image into Discord.

❗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

hollowpirate 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:

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".

my Scarab appears to be running, I can run it as administrator and then I get the windows notification like "are you sure" with the blinking window, but then the scarab.exe file gets deleted and the only thing I get is a .tmp file for a split second and then nothing happens.
It's especially weird, because it worked just fine yesterday. I've added the file and folder to my antivirus exceptions and windows defender doesn't seem to be doing anything.
The mods are still loaded into hollow knight though.

#

the tmp file is "trz" and then some numbers

#

When i open Hollow knight with HKMP and HKMP pouch the HKMP pouch says " failed to call constructer " if anyone could help me with that I'd be glad

🔸 Why do skins take so long to make/Why is making skins so difficult?
Making a skin involves redrawing every sprite relevant to the skin - at the very least, all the sprites that feature the Knight. That, alone, is over 500 sprites. More detailed skins, editing spells and HUDs can go up to over 850 sprites. All of these sometimes needs to be redrawn over and over. Depending on the complexity of the design, making a skin can take well over months of work to complete.

🔹 Where can I commission a skin, and how much would it cost?
You can ask in #art-discussion on this server, on in #recruit in the modding server linked in the pinned messages of #modding-discussion.
The price varies with the skin's complexity, but a simple one consisting only of the Knight's basic spritesheets will cost upwards of 100 USD and Euros/90 GBP, if only because of the sheer amount of time that needs to be spent on it. More complex skins and ones of higher quality would increase in cost.

🔸 How can I make my own skin?
A good way to get started is following one of these two videos by Megan. They go over important information about the creation process.

Custom Knight Creator (recommended for Knight-focused skins)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU3y3FwSlJU

Sprite Packer (recommended for non-Knight sprites, e.g. Charms, bosses, etc.)

hey! does anyone here know how to use the Toggleable Bindings mod? I installed it and it's dependancy Vasi but i'm confused on how to activate it

#

nevermind, i was pressing random buttons and it's Crystal Dash + down

modest quest
#

yea

humble rivet
#

emilitia i’d recommend reading the readme on mods (if they have one)

#

most of the information for keybinds are normally there

hallow pumice
#

Okay it works!

#

All bosses are included into enemy randomization right?

spiral socket
#

Not ALL bosses, but some

hallow pumice
#

Oh damn I gotta reload it every time I boot the game up?

spiral socket
#

Yep

hallow pumice
#

Dang

#

Small price to pay

hallow pumice
spiral socket
#

There are some bosses that do get randomized

#

Soul Master, Hive Knight, Grimm, Enraged Guardian

#

And some that don't like False Knight, Mantis Lords and Crystal Guardian

hallow pumice
#

Ahhh that makes sense

#

Some of them are arena specific

#

Thanks for y’all’s help!!!!

gritty owl
#

for the glimmering realm, I'm not sure if it's working. Is kings pass supposed to be the same?

#

the lore tablets are changed and fury is an egg but the map is the same

pliant lantern
#

TGR for the most part, doesn't change the physical rooms. It mostly changes how the rooms connect.

KP is a single room, so it shouldn't be very different.

#

That being said, I don't remember starting in KP when I played, so if you started there, that seems odd

gritty owl
#

I am starting in kp ;-;

that being said, I haven't played TGR since it first came out, and I may be misremembering the start

🔸 Why do skins take so long to make/Why is making skins so difficult?
Making a skin involves redrawing every sprite relevant to the skin - at the very least, all the sprites that feature the Knight. That, alone, is over 500 sprites. More detailed skins, editing spells and HUDs can go up to over 850 sprites. All of these sometimes needs to be redrawn over and over. Depending on the complexity of the design, making a skin can take well over months of work to complete.

🔹 Where can I commission a skin, and how much would it cost?
You can ask in #art-discussion on this server, on in #recruit in the modding server linked in the pinned messages of #modding-discussion.
The price varies with the skin's complexity, but a simple one consisting only of the Knight's basic spritesheets will cost upwards of 100 USD and Euros/90 GBP, if only because of the sheer amount of time that needs to be spent on it. More complex skins and ones of higher quality would increase in cost.

🔸 How can I make my own skin?
A good way to get started is following one of these two videos by Megan. They go over important information about the creation process.

how do I update it?

still 1.0.3.0

that's the version in scarab it seems

I went to the github and manually installed

that didn't fix it

still crash when bench

maye custom knight plus?

humble rivet

connection settings is also randomizer based

this generally just seems like a case of disabling a couple of mods and see trial and error it if it isn’t an issue with a dependacy

it also is something tied to saving the game via a bench

maybe multiworldlib

I'm assuming there's not a way to easily mod the switch version of the game

pliant lantern

Consoles are not compatible with modding, no

#

I've seen guides online for being able to re-skin the knight on switch, but it's pretty technical and it's not something that's really part of standard hk modding community; you'd need to look for a Switch modding community specifically

mint prairie
#

ah

I was curious because I want to try a randomizer but it would be difficult from going to godhome skill level on switch to feeling absolutely puny on keyboard

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.

Options > mods > enemy rando

There should be a seed displayed there, but only prior to pressing losd on the main iirc (or maybe it's after loading but before starting s save? whatifShrug ) It's probably been over a year since I played that version. If there are any different mods, especially enemy changing mods like pale prince or something, enemies won't be the same. Although as Mickely said, even with the same enemy types you can't truly sync them.

__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):

🔹 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.

__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):

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!

Until Fyrenest has a fixing patch, the version on Scarab has been reverted to the previous working version.

Because of how Scarab works, it won't automatically install the old version for people that have the new one installed. Users still need to uninstall Fyrenest completely, and then reinstall it.

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".

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.

🔹 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.
pliant lantern
#

?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.

# low arrow How do I get the HKMP mod to work? I'm on Mac trying to connect to the public se...

You can try:

  • Turning off your Router

  • Turning off your Mac

  • Turning the Router back on

  • Once the internet seems back, turn on the Mac again

If that doesn't work then I don't have any other suggestions tamershrug
For some reason, some MacOS users seem to have an issue with HKMP, and so far the only thing I've found is that it may be due to a bug that is in MacOS and with routing. Normally this bug only affects locally playing though, not connecting to the Public Server.

Edit: I said that I didn't have another suggestion, and that's only part true. The other thing you can do, is play using a Windows VM, or Dual Boot into Windows if you have set that up.

pliant lantern
#

The same path

#

The path isn't drive specific

#

You copy and paste it, like it says

#

Oh, I forgot that that doesn't mention copy and pasting zote

#

But regardless, you can copy and paste that into File Explorer, and it'll take you to that spot. Or open the "Run" window, and paste it there.

haughty elk
#

Thanks for enlightening my stupidity jinnsmile

#

So… sorry for all the questions but to revert my oldest backup on my first slot to a third slot, would I remove the .bak# then set the first number to 3, then cut and paste it to whatever folder my main saves are stored in?

pliant lantern
#

Yes

#

You can always copy all of the saves into a new folder, then kinda play around with it too, to make sure that you understand what you're doing

#

If something gets messed up somehow, just copy and paste the stuff you originally copied.

haughty elk
#

Thanks for the headsup

haughty elk
#

welp big oof I only have one backup and that is not pre banishment

pliant lantern

You should have 3 backups normally

That being said, one is created each time you save, and saving is pretty common

hey, I've used skins for a while, but recently, through fireb0rn's really long video, I found the folder of a bunch of skins, there was this "sketch knight" skin. most of the textures work, but some, like the "Inventory" and "HPBar" folders don't, where do I put them for them to work? cause right now they're sitting in the same folder as all the other textures (charms and abilities and such). this is the first skin that I've used that isn't only the knight and it's abilities, so I'm confused. I've made sure to activate all the other mods from scarab that relate to editing textures.

this is also probably not right

you need the PNG images here

not in another folder

#

and you have to be using the sketch knight skin for it to work

since this isn't in the global location

Mods/Controller not working correctly on Steam Deck
Issue: Steam Deck installs the Windows version of HK, then runs it in proton. This would be fine except that you install Linux Scarab, which replaces the Assembly-Csharp with the Linux version, and then it doesn't like to work correctly on "Windows" anymore

Solution: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)

This will reinstall the Linux version of the game, and move some files around, so you'll need to select "Change Paths" in Scarab and change it to the new install path, then reinstall your mods. After this, everything should be working.

Skin not working?
Please post a screenshot that shows:

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

Note: HKMP Skins do not use the HUD or Spells, and they only appear when connected to a server.

Example what an installed skin looks like:

__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):

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!

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
