it's near the absrad statue, if you open it without benchwarp installed does it just put you at the closest bench or does the game completely freak out?

It's there
thanx
Look again
what should i type in the searchbar
Debug
alr
Or just manually scroll
no offense, but im not scrolling though all of the mods for the fifth time :(
ill just use sewarch bar
they're in alphabetical order but ok
ahm, where's the modinstaller 2 for mac? I can't seem to find it
I made that exact same mistake first time I tried to get to using mods
hey, so idk if this is a mod problem or a me problem but i just got HK on pc and this grey bar is stuck at 100%, cant open into the game either, its stuck minimized (using preview for the screenie), can anybody please tell me whats causing this, thanks : )
think it might be the amount of mods
but just checking here if its actually to do with mods
ah ok, thank god i have the right channel lol
if your pc is bad, or you have too many mods
then it can take awhile
just wait for it to finish
heres my mod folder
oh hey it worked this time
didnt close the game this time
neat
thanks : )
im using sacrab to mod my game and I currently want to use the warp bench mod but all of the warp options are red except for godhome atrium and hall of gods, does anyone know how I can fix this?
Under settings press unlock all
benches unlock for warping when you sit on them
so you have to unlock all if you want all from a full save
ohh
you also don't need benchwarp fix
Pretty sure benchwarp fix is for a much more technical problem
read the description of it in scarab. it's for a very specific purpose
ohh ok ty
Is there a mod to have the full game completed? I'm trying to see how is on pc
Why
Why what?
Why are you looking for a completed save file
Because I'm only interested in the goodseeker mode
In theory debug mode should let you do that, if you're just looking to get the abilities or to get to a certain point
Ty
You'd have to use the debug mode to basically cheat your way through the game tho
you can just, ask for one of us for a save file yk
Yeah that'd work a lot better
Or just, like, defeat p3 and unlock godseeker mode
Like it's intended
Yeah but that's too much I already complete the 112 in ps
It was on sale on steam and I only want to beat bosses
do you just want my own godseeker file
Sure haha

Hey, I downpatched hk to try a speedrun thing, and just went back to current patch. I have a rando going, is there anything I need to do in the process of re-installing scarab in order to not loose progress?
(I haven't reopened that file yet as I assume that'd mess stuff up)
okay well I redownloaded scarab, and put it in its own folder, opened scarab, and it still has the things I had before downloaded. That said, when I launch hk it won't launch with mods. I assume that's because Scarab didn't find steam or something? If so what should I do?
if you just updated back to current patch, you need to install at least 1 thing for your mods to work again
anyone know where i can download the dead cells skin?
colette's skin list, which is pinned in modding-discussion
just install it? not enable or anything?
install, yes. You can even uninstall something you already have an re-install it, doesn't matter. You just need it to install the modding api
sweet, that seems to have worked. Anything I need to do to not corrupt my rando save I’d started before the downpatch/reinstall?
I don't think so, you should be fine.
Sweet, thank you!
should a cable with controller work on hollow knight or not?

I do it was working this morning
ive been wanting to use legacy qucik slash and ive been having trouble save editing could anybody help?
?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.
i tried the website but i dont know what it wants me to insert into it
Use one of the other two methods
More saves is easiest
You can edit your save from within the game
is this more saves mod trustworthy? and were can i download it

So I asked this the other day and they told me to ask in this channel instead, just now getting around to it.
my controller rumble isn't working.
i have steam input disabled.
using the game's native input with a USB connection and a first party dualshock 4.
Rumble on, prompts are all playstation, controls fine, but it doesn't rumble. :(
there's no other controller issues
?tag controller
__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

For some reason whenever I start up hollow knight with mods it just crashes. I've reinstalled hollow knight and scarab but it keeps crashing. I'm using the latest version of scarab and the latest hollow knight so I'm confused.

🔹 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

help please. I wanted to install randomizer 4 installed Benchwarp, ItemChanger, MenuChanger, QoL, RandomizerCore and Vasi also downloaded Enemy-HP-Bar, but the randomizer does not start. why and how to fix it
this feels like the better channel to ask this but does this discord have a link to all the custom knight skins? almost asked in the discussion channel
nvrm i found it
question, what is the current version that mods work on
nvm i'm an idiot and forgot to actually read closely
?tag virus
Scarab.exe vanishes after I start it! And/or Scarab is blank!
This happens when you have antimalware software that falsely flags Scarab as being malicious. To fix it, you will need to make an exception in that program for Scarab and/or Scarab's folder.
If you don't know how to do that, this online guide covers it for many of the common programs:

i did that but it still gets deleted
Is the game crashing or is rando just not loading?
Uninstall avast then 
i went back to this and i cant find it, does it need a dependency i dont have

Did you install the mod ?
Cuz it doesn’t appear in the top left…
Wait I’m blind
I does need menu changer or stuff like that, but those should be install with the mod when you install them on scarab
Take a look in the mod menu, their might be an option to activate it
You can see if your missing dependencies…
Just click on the mod
The description has them
But you seem to have everything
Also make sure that your scarab is up to date
scarab up to date thing might be the issue
can i update it on the thing or do i have to reinstall
i think i found a dependency i was missing
got it to work 
Hey y'all, these are the mods i currently have installed. I am trying to run a rando, and that is working fine. But for some reason, it is autoequiping all of my charms. Even if i take them off at a bench, when i go into the next room, they are all equiped again

Hi help me please , i wanted to play HKmp with friend using hamachi i am using Macbook m1 MacOS Venture 13.01 HKmp mod vesion is 2.2.2.0 and when i wanted to install hamachi i got error that says that "Failed to connect to engine" i browsed all internet and maybe someone could help me please.
You installed a specific Charm mod that does this.
For Hamachi errors, you'll want to Google those errors and look for troubleshooting steps. The Hamachi forums usually come up with things to look for.
That being said, It's been noted before that some Mac users have had a weird issues with HKMP (and similar networking games), that hasn't been figured out yet. It seems to be related to something on MacOS, or some kind of Mac-specific software.
If you have the ability to run a Windows VM, or dual-boot into Windows, then it should work without issue.
Otherwise you may want to try:
- Turning off your Router
- Turning off the Mac
- Turn on the Router, and wait for it to have internet
- Turn on the Mac
This may not fix it, but after a bit of looking for similar cases of people having mac-specific networking issues like this, it seems that MacOs may have a bug that causes LAN to occasionally not function correctly, and both devices need to be rebooted for it to work again.
I tried to google them and on forum i didnt found any solution i found only that i can usi ZeroTier but when my frien installed it on windows the instalation ended on half but the folder Zerotier in ProgramFiles(86) but. there were only ZeroTier/One/ and some files butn ot exe
The HKMP guide also covers installing ZT on Windows. They may want to look at that section.
If they can't figure it out though, then you can always use the public servers.
Which one? I think I had all of these installed on my last computer, and I didn’t have that issue there
I'm pretty sure only one of them mentions "charm" in the name
You may want to check the description of that mod in Scarab
Wait your telling me that chat randomiser is randomising my charms ?
I just got into mods for Hollow knight today and I got scarab and it was going pretty smoothly but when I try to launch the game it just straight up doesent let me? like the game doesent even open just gives me a crash error, I'm using 1.4.3.2 which I'm pretty sure is the correct version for modding. And I tried trouble-shooting it myself and turning off all the mods except for Custom knight and it's dependencies but it still doesent work- So I'm not really sure what to do
Well you are wrong the right version for modding is 1.5
You probably found some outdated data
For a good start look at the pins
There is a good video there
Okay so I checked all the pinned messages and none of them talked about the problem I'm having, I'm using steam and I don't know how to get it to the 1.5 version, I right-clicked the game and went to properties > betas and then I checked the versions, sorry if I'm not explaining this all too well. Just not exactly sure what's happening

Yes I tried that as well but when I loaded in Hollow knight the mods werent there
Yeah
You have to open up scarab and install one
Then it should be working
Also make sure to delete anything related to other installers
If you ever got moddinstaller two or stuff like that delete it all
Okay gotcha, the only moddinstaller I've downloaded is the scarab that I've had open this whole time, and the mod I installed is custom knight with it's dependencies satchel. it's installed and I've gotten a skin and added it but it still doesent work
Can you show a screenshot of your title screen?
Sure
Changing patches makes your game vanilla. You have to install mods again after you change to "none"
So uninstall and reinstall them when it's done downloading the patch
Ohhh, okay I'll try that but here's the screenshot just incase
Ayyy it works now, thanks alot yall!
does anyone accepts suggestions?
Most modders already have a lot on their hands, but if you have something simple to do (a couple of number tweaks) it might be done, for anything more complex, like custom area, bosses, skin… it takes an enormous amount of time, so unless you have something really interesting and well thought, or are willing to pay a fee you’ll better off doing it yourself
There is a suggestions channel in the modding discord, but everything Azerod said applies there as well
bruh
anyone know what causes this? it only started happening today
ive verified my game files, reinstalled the mod and it still doesnt work
the only mods i have are modcommon and customknight
After you verified the game files, did you uninstall and reinstall a mod?
That is necessary, otherwise the mods won't work
yes
Well you also need Satchel for custom knight to work
i see, idk, it worked fine until today
As it says in the description

That is moddinstaller 1 too, where the hell did you find that 
the person who got me into hollow knight sent me the link to the nexusmods page for it
Nexus mods are very outdated
i see
Kinda makes me wonder… could we like, change that ? I have no clue how nexus mod works but it can’t be all that hard to make the nexus page send people here right ?
Nexus probably won’t like that tbh but I don’t think hk has that big of a traffic there anyway, especially when considering that the mod they ship literally don’t work
I mean, scarab is listed under hk mods at nexus
It's just that not many people would download a manager instead of mods from there
If you don't know the function of scarab
?tag install
To manually install mods on 1.5.78.
🔹 Download the mod (it'll be either a dll file or a folder).
🔹 Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
🔹 Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
➡️ Run the game.

hey guys question
i'm having trouble with modcommon, i put it in my mod folder, but not only does it not show up in scarab, it also doesn't work in the game
so i got the game on switch played 15 hours got destroyed by the game, but not saw its on sale for steam is it easy to mod the game and get an easy mode or invinciability(only toggleable) so i can experience the game without spending another 15 hours struggling
same with me i just cant get it to work
Yes it is pretty easy to mod the game. There even is an easy mode mod.
how do i get it

Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
also are there toggleable invinciability mods too because idk how easy it makes it but what if im just so bad i cant even do it with that lol
Debug would allow that yes
oh alr is there a guide in pins telling me how to get that?
ik but i was looking through it and cant find it
is it close to the top or bottom
to help me locate it
No, but you need scarab to get debug
im trying to get modcommon but i cant get it to work when i install it manually and it isnt on scarab
yo cani ask you in private dms if i have another question
why?
gun
well asking here would be better
it uses vasi now
oh
question when i look at the comments people say that when they got scarab it repeatedly crashed, is this just because they got a pirated version or would this happen if i bought it from steam?

It can happen for a lot of reasons
mainly piracy
so that is prob the reason half the comments are people saying "it keeps crashing"?
yes
so if i get it from steam i prob wont have that problem
whats betas?
something of steam
lest you access beta versions of videogames, hk has it set to older versions of the game
if i try to do this for this specific game is it possible it will mess up other games i got on steam
or na
ik but it probally has to do smth with steam to get it to work
im just catious cuz i have 200+ hrs on er and i dont wanna loose that
It will not mess with other games, but you shouldn't mess with it for hk either if you want to mod it
it doesnt mess with steam, dw about your games
k
It's just the installer looking for the specific version in your steam folder. It wouldn't mess with anything else but the Hollow Knight folder.
ok also does steam automatically start off on the newest version
Yes.
wait i also just thought
if i am struggling and cant figure out how to mod can i just refund it via steam?
Yes, but there should be no reason why you can't figure it out
Depends on how long you had the game and if you haven't played more than 2 hours. But I'd look deeper instead of instantly refunding it.
yeah but ive tried to mod stuff before and have failed
yeah i mean like if i try for a few days and i consistently fail and it does not work when i try to open the game
can i work on the modding without opening the game up so i dont risk going over 2 hours
There might be reasons to it. Like for example, your OS. If you aren't using the version that works with your OS, it will fail. There are always many other factors to it. Also, you have to open it to check.
yeah but i can test that over the 14 day span steam gives you
and if it still fails
i can refund
I'd say just keep trying, as it works perfect for me and I have no problems with it.
And I use the steam version.
ok also was the game open when you did it
or can i do it closed
do i have to open the game before opening the mod
or other way around
Keep it closed when using scarab for the first time. As it will look for the folder. Though at least open the game once before attempting to make sure it's working in base form.
k
also one more thing
lets say i give myself mantis claw and get it a second time
will my game die
and just not work
or does nothing happen
It wont appear
Nothing happens.
cuz i probally will give myself what i had on my switch profile
Your choice on that. But it wouldn't destroy anything for giving duplicates. As you already had the item.
Out of curiousity, how may I begin learning how to mod hollow knight? Like creating my own mods?
There's a modding discord for that.
alr
Ye.
if i give myself mask shards and end up getting over 10 masks does that glitch the game
What you get bt debug disappears from the overworld
wdym
If you get claw it just wont appear where it was
hey i got the emote wheel mod how do i use it
Read the readme
Could happen but that's not really a big issue
the crash bot said that so im not sure
And it even tells you on how to fix it 
question
wat
Pins
No
sad
uhh guys? i just installed enemy rando but why is it like this?
oh nevermind, i forgot to put the modcommon file :v
Hi I'm completely new here, I just modded the game for the first time on patch 1.4.3.2 and now the game keeps crashing when I open it and an error message pops up saying "Hollow Knight has encountered an error and must close"
Use 1.5 and scarab
I amm using scarabb
It only works on 1.5
oh alright thanks hopefully it'll work

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:

🔹 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 just got Hollow Knight for PC yesterday so I'm not particularly well versed in mods, sorry
Did you not read the description of the mod when installing it

same one with the hollow knight app
That's not where it should go
Desktop is the usual recommendation
Yes.
The first pin is the walk thru you wanted, I'd suggest watching that
alright
Scarab is just the installer, you still have to use it to download mods for anything to change in game
In this one, do you need the beta or not
No
or has that been patched
k
so uh
i dun goofed
instead of downloading the windows thing
I downloaded the entire github file
unsure what EXACTLY
but uhh
i dun gof
Then delete everything except the windows thing
i know
already done
just waiting for it to go back to the regular version
before I sort it out
ALRIGHT
MOMENT OF TRUTH
HAS IT WORKED
It worked
the white bar is there
heck YEAH
thanks for the help thommie and colette
Congrats you’ve graduated modding 1, you may now fall in the other 72 traps laid in front of you (for example downloading benchwarp fix, or installing charm crab)

btw
do you need to download skins spesifically or do you get them from the custom knight mod?
And if you do need to,
know any good skin mods?
cus I cant find any on scarab.
- Do not download benchwarp fix, it is only needed in very specific situations.
- You need to download them from a document
?tag ck
__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources
- List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
- Video Tutorial on using CK:
https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466
🔹 Common issues
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
- If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

yo guys question
pretty much
lets say i use invinciability or infinite health can i undo that
or no
also can you stop hollow knight from updating so mods dont stop working
?
The chances that hk will ever get another update is slim, so I wouldn't worry about that
alr and i just could downpatch right
what about the infinite hp or invinciability
cuz i say someone saying that they enabled infinite health but now there stuck with 11 masks
You can deactivate and reactivate invincibility with debug
alr
and what about nail dmg
nvm just realised that doesnt matter cuz i can just tweak it to the value
so it doesnt matter if it takes it from the game
You can also change that back to normal with debug. Just uninstalling debug won't change it back
alr
also can i unlock the specific stag stations and bench's and charm notches i had on my original profile
and kill the certain bosses i already deafeated
and get the skills
that i had
if not its fine just dont wanna go through the same 15 hours for no reason
With debug mod you can clip through walls and move through the map at record speed, so you can get whatever you were missing in some 10 minutes or so
alr
and then continue from there but having an easier time
i probally will mainly just increase weapon damage cuz i feel like 45 hits is a big overdone for having to kill a boss
45 really isn't a lot, but you do you
yo guys question
?
The legends sais that one day, the question will be asked
I tp'ed to a bench but screen black now
i restart over and over
nothing
if i wanted to change my location rn to fix it
do i go to Log folder, Tracker log, or Helper log

Hey so funny story, my inferno king grimm mod is broken help me please
What exactly is broken about it?
And probably post your modlog

Lemme hop on my pc rq, thank you for being willing to help me
I just have to get my cat off my stomach
Uno momento
@pliant lantern oh fuck i remember what the issue is
when i would boot up HK it would say under the list of mods in the top right corner
"Inferno KIng Grimm: failed to configure modlog.txt"
It wouldn't say that
It would say something more like "Failed to xxxx. Check Modlog.txt!"
so i open the run command prompt? cause i don't see any folder called "LocalLow"
Yes. You just need to copy and paste that path into the Run prompt
That message is saying that you didn't copy and paste it correctly
okay it opened, uno momento
so you want me to copy and paste the entirety of the text file here?
You can just drag and drop it
This says that you don't have InfernoKingGrimm installed at all right now, so there's no errors
i just installed it wtf 💀
i uninstalled it and gave up on it cause it wasn't working
The modlog generates every time you open the game
ok
so if you have actually played the game since installing it, then it won't show in the log
okay so it works now, thank you so much for your help
Uhhmmm

Is it possible to mod the game if u were to pirate it (I'm poor ok)
?tag pirate
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.
If you can, attempt to purchase a legitimate copy
I only pirated it cuz no idea if potato laptop could run it
Average poor kid life be like
Keep an eye on the website too. There are usually sales ( it's on sale rn)
Depending on how potato you're potatoing. You might not be able to mod that much tbh, I've seen people with pretty bad hardware have bad performance issues when they start modding
Meh I only wanted to see if I could do it for skins
Skins are actually the most egregious, though if you do one or two skins at a time you should be fine
i need some help with something
so i was messing around with debug mod on my 112% file and for some reason after i stopped using debug mod the save somehow just lets me instakill anything
i've checked around and i haven't seen any fixes
so i wanted to ask as a last resort here
(by instakill i mean i hit the enemy once twice or thrice and they instantly die)
for example: radiance
hit 3 times and she moves on to the next phase
@cyan cedar You probably edited your nail damage on accident. Reinstall the mod and check if that's the case.
I did that
And it still does the thing even if the mod is deactivated
The mod being deactivated wouldn't help if you changed your nail damage. Stuff like that is saved on the save file.
You'd have to install and enable the mod again and use it to lower the nail damage to where it's supposed to be.
Where do I find that setting?
Under binds in debugmod, there should be a button that says "Reset settings" see if that does the trick
Thanks
Btw, you can check your stats on the left of the screen in the debug menu. There should be a thing near the top that says "Naildmg", that should be 21 if you have pure nail and no damage boosting charms equipped
can anyone give me link or file of modistaller?

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
Image Showing an example of the game path:
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/879130708302520321/961419530662477884/unknown.png
so hollow knight data right ?
You need to select the folder that contains Hollow Knight Data.
So, not the Data folder itself, but rather the one above it
so i do it in content

🔹 Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".
Do you have anti-virus software that may be blocking it?

hey guys
So i have downloaded a few mods and Im just curious
do i have to delete the "Disabled" file for it to work?
this one
alright
so how do i make the mods active
i've put them all in the mod folder of hollow knight but they arent activating
like how do i check if the mods have even worked
are you using modinstaller or scarab

I somehow managed to remove the ability to focus from hollow knight. When the tank is one third full, it lights up, but not for me. I tried disabling the modding api, but that didn't work. If you have any idea at all on how to fix this, please let me know.
and how can get 1.5 installed?
when I hold the focus button, it don't work. It simply does nothing I can still cast spells just fine, but can't heal
did you have hollow point installed at one point
and by "1.5 installed" do you mean to get the patch or to get scarab?

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.

Hi! So me and my friend are trying to play HKMP, and we can't joined. We've been trying to join the IP, so he started hosting, but I had already tried hosting, and it wouldn't let me stop. I clicked the stop hosting button, but it won't respond, and whenever I try to join his server it says "Failed to connect: Connection timed out". Anybody know what I can do?
So I restarted it and it no longer says "Stop hosting"
Still says connection timed out when we do it for both of us
does anyone know what mod this is?

I'm trying to play hollow knight multiplayer with my friend, with a randomizer and itemsync enabled. I have everything set up but when I try to join the room for the itemsync, I get this message on player 2's part.
I tried setting the seeds to be the same and that didn't work, and that's all I can think of
Hash is based on ALL settings not just the seed number. Everything must be exactly the same. Using the profile settings code helps with that
Where can I find the profile settings code?
Also idk what that means at all sorry lol
Its in the additional rando options.
Ah okay. I'll try to make sure those are the same
You send it to whoever you're playing with, they input it & apply. Pretty sure it's also covered in the readme.
@heady kestrel I was able to get it to start the rando for both of us, however now there's a few other issues that are probably all correlated in some way. Neither instance can heal, pogoing on spikes causes players to go backwards a bit along with up, and when an item is picked up it softlocks the game for both instances.
I assume those are all probably caused by the same root issue, it just seems that something isn't right
Here's a video of all of the bugs I'm experiencing rn. Idk what the problem is
Here's all of the mods I have enabled rn.
Also, this appears upon first opening a new save.
hello everyone, I don't really know English, I wanted to ask, is the fireborn video attached to the pinned messages, is it relevant now?
Most or possibly all of those sound like they could be caused by missing or out of date dependencies. Like MultiworldLib is a dependency for itemsync & you don't appear to have that.
Show a screenshot of your title screen
is it possible to edit a savefile with moresaves so i dont ecounter zote in p5?
for some reason scarab is giving me this when I open the select file
Right click and hit open with and your should be able to change it
And in the topleft?
Go to properties and change what you open it with windows file explorer is probably best
that has seemed to do the job I'll watch the video to use scarab
ok now when I press run anyway it doesn't run
my pc think its malwere
Rather normal
Find a way to still install it
You have to find a way for AVG to not delete scarab
so just press X
Scarab.exe vanishes after I start it! And/or Scarab is blank!
This happens when you have antimalware software that falsely flags Scarab as being malicious. To fix it, you will need to make an exception in that program for Scarab and/or Scarab's folder.
If you don't know how to do that, this online guide covers it for many of the common programs:
https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-prevent-your-antivirus-program-from-deleting-files/
i am trying to do this but it isn't working ive added all the exceptions it still wont run what shall i do
to me it seems like windows is blocking it rather than my anti virus which is avg that i have on the computer
Windows does not have a history of deleting scarab - avg does. Often people end up needing to turn it off completely
right okay thankyou
i then click run anyway and nothing happens
i have also turned avg off now

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

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources
- List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
- Video Tutorial on using CK:
https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466
🔹 Common issues
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
- If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

Wait

Scarab.exe vanishes after I start it! And/or Scarab is blank!
This happens when you have antimalware software that falsely flags Scarab as being malicious. To fix it, you will need to make an exception in that program for Scarab and/or Scarab's folder.

Hi! I'm new and I'm having problems with randomizing the game, primarily because every time I try to open the game outside of Steam, it always says "another instance is running". I also don't have the mod installer. What should I do?

- Follow along with the Modding tutorial that's in the pins
is there a mod on scarab that allows u to give urself items for example mothwing cloak, geo, doubble jump?

do you have it installed?

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.
You don't need mod common for the scarab version
No
Modding is only supported for versions on Steam, GoG (Good Old Games), Xbox Gamepass, Microsoft Store, and Steam Deck
When I try to open Scarab it becomes an empty tmp file
I got stuff working, thanks so much! Problem was, I didn't know Scarab was the mod installer lol
And it disappears

🔹 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.

For general use (PVP enabled)

PORT: 26951
Requires HkmpPouch
For playing Tag
IP: tag.hkmp.org

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!

what's it for then?
Its so we can moderate the channels
it doesn't work btw, my game doesn't open
By updating pins and tags

Yeah we just mod the modding channels
I can see you asked for modinstaller, wich is outdated
now it's scarab
or smth like thtat
Yeah
maybe it's bcs I still got mods from modinstaller?
So if you used modinstaller just download from scarab, if you used scarab AFTER modinstaller, you may need to check the betas page to see your game isnt outdated
Update it and reinstall mod from scarab, any should make it work

Hello, I know this may seem dumb, but I'm confused on how my friend can join my multiplayer lobby using HKMP. We are trying to play a room/item randomizer, and I have a Hamachi server set up that we are both in. We both have the same mods installed, so does he need to join in from a world with the same settings as me, or can he join me from any world he creates? Currently when he try's to join it says the connection times out, despite us being on the same version.

Hi, not sure if this is the best place to ask but I haven't found a better channel.
I'm having issue with making my controller work specifically with Hollow Knight. I'm trying to make it work after a while not playing the game to play mods with scarab on latest patch (so 1.5.78.11833), I'm using an Xbox One wired controller, which is working for other games and even for Steam Big Picture, but for some reason not in Hollow Knight. I have tried Switch controller and PS4 controller and found the same issue.
I have made a bit of research and tried every common fix from the "?tag controller" I have found in this channel but to no avail. I'm honestly lost, if anyone has any idea of what I could try to fix this I'll gladly take the help
