and if thats the case
i downpatched to that
so how do i change the location of it
it doesnt open
Oh
The steam page
And then the setting wheel
Then go to properties and then go to betas
And just select the update
Np
do you have moresaves?
yes
Ok
it breaks debug
Alright, thank you
Whenever I play the game with Mods it doesn't load anything and its just a black screen
I don't appear to be able to load Charm Overhaul. It worked for a very short amount of time and I don't know what happened to break it. Here's my ModLog.
Try verifying the game and running the installer again
You're missing a dependency mod, not sure what charm overhaul uses exactly but you should download ModCommon, Vasi, SereCore, and SFCore. Then just leave them installed at all times since they only make other mods work

I dont have mods installed
After installing the code libraries, I'm not getting the "failed to load" message, but Charm Overhaul still isn't doing anything.
The ModLog doesn't indicate there being any issues.
How do you know it isn't working?
None of the charm interactions are doing anything, none of the charm cost changes are going through.
how to you get custom skins i got the mod, but forgot how to when i installed it
Wait, nevermind, I'm stupid.
Second pinned message
alr, and my hollowpoint mod also doesnt work
i got the ModCommon
idk if its my fault or smth went wrong
hollow point readme outlines a lot of fixes for common issues
Are you creating a new save file or loading one
new
Doesn’t work on new ones
fr?
After creating a save, restart the game and load the save
alr thanks
yes its outlined in the readme
i didnt see it
Yeah take a look at that
im just kinda illiterate sometimes
The mod is working, I was just looking at the singular charm that the readme is wrong about having changed the cost of (Soul Eater is still a 4-cost) and forgot one of the charms in the interaction I was testing (Fury of the Fallen + Compass + Overcharming puts you at 1 mask, and I was forgetting Compass).

If i downpatch, will it affect my savefiles, or will it still have all my progress and such
it will not
hi i just downloaded the skins mod
skin hornet
is there any way to remove the mod from the life bar of the enemies?
thak you river robot
Hi guys I downloaded the modinstaller but I get this message
"The installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again."
But my Hollow Knight through steam has been updated totally. Any ideas?
whenever I try and use custom knight with skins that used to work now they just blink the knight and nothing changes
It will not affect my savefiles?
or it will not have my progress
guys this is a stupid question how to navigate on the debug mode
how do i make a custom skin for hollow knight? i want to make a more expressive skin for the knight just because i think it would be cute
hey guys i just wanna know but how do i manually install mods on the new modinstaller

Second pinned message
Do you mean mi2 or?
yeah yeah modinstaller2
I hate to bug you, but to be absolutely clear, downpatching will not affect my savefiles?
I dont wnat to lose almost 140 hours
I'm not certain but I'd assume the basics would be to find the sprite sheets that other custom knight skins use (Specifically Knight.png, you can probably get it from the default folder in custom knight). Then use some program to draw over it
Yes, your saves will be fine. If you're really worried you can make backups of em
ok thank you
If there isn't an obvious button for it you'd have to just drop the mods dll into your mods folder.
ah got it
I don't use mi2 so i'm not sure
as in hkdata/managed/mods ?
for windows yes
cool cool
Can someone upload the multiplayer mod file please?
download it from here if you cant get it from mod manager https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP/releases
that mod is separate from the one on the installer
And it's better and you should be using it
Here's a tutorial

Pirated copies don't work with mods
You should get the game while it's on sale
It's currently 50% off on steam
ofc, I assure you that if I had money I would buy it
No worries. You just can't mod unless you have the actual Steam or GoG version, as pirated copies don't have the correct files.
And you literally won't have a better opportunity to get HK, as it doesn't tend to go for less than the ~$8USD that it currently is.
hey, i got the mod downloader, which one has all the skin mods?
Custom Knight is the mod that allows skins, second pinned messages for skins and a tutorial
thank you sir
I've been trying to fix my mods for about 3 hours now, Every time I start up Hollow Knight it either crashes or launches with none of the mods enabled.
It will always crash unless I verify the game cache, then it just starts up Unmodded
1st pin
do you use a controller and the customknight mod?
just because you're on pc doesn't mean that you don't play without a controller
and a few times i heard that people's game crashes with a controller when trying the customknight mod (idk why)
then i actually don't know why it would crash
this 'unity' thing appears for a second before it crashes
is it like a small window with a knight image and a red bar?
yup, that's the one
then refer to the latest pin

thx
I installed enemy randomizer and the game seems like its about to crash (its lagging and the start screen changes to a random room once in a while) what to do?
If you clicked the [Load Enemy Randomizer] button, it'll cycle through screens to load, wait for it to finish.
hey so i just got mod installer and im geting mods and its saying error when i try to unenable them what do i do??
it crashes and says error as a file
Does this happen with every mod?
What does the error say exactly?
one sec
ahh i guess i have to click install again idk
they turned off
yea so my game wont even load when i have a mod on also when i delete the installer it still wont load
i can only find the aksu hud file online, does anyone have the actual skin file?
can u mod in cracked hollow knight
no
should be the latest pin
when does the new version of mod inst comes out?
some time
1.5 installers have existed for a bit but I think people are just waiting for more mods for 1.5 to be made
some mods are not working and making my game unplayable
Bonfire mod is not activating ( i cant see the menu)
i cant open the menu or inventory
i cant get on the ground and im stuck levitating
i cant sit on a bench
that's a lot of mods
I suggest disabling unofficial hk patch since it does basically nothing
yea, i tried to fix it adding the unofficial patch, it was not there before
still, with or without it, it does not work
it worked yesterday but i had to restart hk many times
I suggest also disabling boss mods unless you're gonna use them
i am going to use them
you sure you're gonna go to godhome and fight tribe of battle in randomizer?
yea, me and a friend are going to do a bet and see who can get 110% the fastest
ok
Why does my game lag so much with mods on
It runs fine without mods
Or maybe it’s a 1.4 thing?
What mods do you have installed?
Most of them
Nice
Nice
Nice
But only some of them are enabled
Nice
According to the pins you need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2.
- Does this have effect to my savestates that I created on 1.5.75.11827?
- Are there any bugfixes or similar that happened from 1.4.3.2 to 1.5.75.11827? If possible, I'd like to avoid being able to use old bugs that actually are patched in current patch.
savestates or save files? there were some very small bugfixes and some new bugs. some large changes to nail arts but iirc they were reverted
What is the difference between savestate and savefiles in your definition?
I had to turn vsync on because my game was capping the FPS at 30
I'm talking about if I can still play my character or if it's rendered incompatible after downpatching.
you can still use saves from 1.5. I was confused if you meant debug mod savestates
I dont know what those are since I never used mods in HK yet
So yeah, savefiles in that case
Save state is a term for when you create a file that has the information about a program at that exact moment, and you can load back to that exact moment. In games that means you can have a save mid jump, or attack, or subbing like that
But yeah, it won't affect your save files.
what should i do? i have the most recent version

First pinned message
i got the invisible hollow knight glitch and couldn't find a solution that worked on the internet
I've got custom knight and the rando installed
Bonfire mod is currently making me unable to bench, press esc, and is making me levitate sometimes,
i need help to fix that
(im currently using mod manager v8.7.1 by Gradow)
maybe try with different skins, also, make sure that there are just folders with the skin packs in the correct folder
i dont actually have a skin on at the moment
Item randomizer breaks bonfire mod
Disabling custom knight fixed it anyway somehow?
Close your game entirely then open it up again. This usually, but not always, fixes it.
i reset my pc
Custom Knight uses a lot of VRAM is the issue, even if you're not using a skin at the time. Randomiser uses a lot, too.
It's actually a vanilla bug you've found which people come across sometimes if they do like a full 112% in one go.
Mods just make it more common because the game is using more resources
my task manager shows im using less than half of it
idk if HK has a limit or something but i really wouldn't expect that to be an issue with my card
starting the game with custom knight but no skins works so im gonna assume one of the packs is broken somehow
is there any way to use both at the same time?
rewriting them could work
im about ready to commit a crime
i tried modifying one of the skins that didn't work so it only modified the sprites that another pack that does work used and it still doesnt work somehow
anyone know the link to that retro knight skin?
i just gave up and reinstalled everything and it worked
So has anyone had issues in a Randomizer 3 playthrough where the Hollow Knight's arena won't load?
For that matter are there any mods that are known to cause that issue
I went through this entire randomizer run, including getting Void Heart, so I'm finishing this damned run if it kills me
is there a shortcut to reload HK and the mods?
unfortunately, no. from what I can tell, the issue has to do with how bonfire recognizes the location of certain relics, and randomizer messes with that location, breaking bonfire
Fwiw This is a vanilla bug. The load just sometimes takes extremely long (up to like 20m or something is the longest I've heard of). Mods make it more common. It is fixed by closing and reopening the game. It should fix it every time.
Nope, I tried reloading it like 5 times
It fixed it when I verified the integrity of game files, and added -noheap to my launch options
It removed the randomization from the world and my Bonfire mod skills, but at that point it didn't matter because I was already at Hollow Knight
So I went back to vanilla Hollow Knight to finish my savefile but after deleting my mods I saw these files and I have no idea what they are
But some of these files weren't there before I installed mods
The only thing here that isn't a regular HK file is the readme file
Everything else is regular.
The license might not be vanilla either, but both of these are just text files
and LICENSE
So none of these files aren't supossed to be there
So with the hkmp mod whenever my friend tries to connect it says "connection failed" we've both tried hosting we dont know whats wrong
Guide to installing / using it:
https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
ive looked there already
You may want to join the HKMP discord for better help (linked on the github), but either way, you're going to need to provide more info:
- what method of hosting are you using?
- have you tried pinging eachother, to see if you are even able to connect?
A host should always be able to self-connect.
Make sure that the other person is
- using the correct ipv4 found on Zero Tier, and if the address has a /##, don't include that.
And again, you can do quick testing by pinging with command prompt.
If that doesn't work, then most likely one of you has Zero Tier not working correctly, and may need to Google troubleshooting steps for it
when i click disable on a mod the mod installer crashes
You can disable mods manually by going into your mods folder and simply dragging the DLL for the mod you want to disable into the disabled folder. If you want to disable all mods, go to your install in Steam, fight click, and find verify integrity of game files.
how do you delete mods permanently?
im trying to delete moresaves because i want the customknight skins to finish downloading but it isnt working
just click the delete button?
oh wow i wouldve never thought of that
or on MI2 uncheck the install button
every time i hit that it doesnt work
because when i close and reopen modinstaller its still there

but like ong wtf do i do
hi uh, I used the randomiser mod, and when I went back to normal, it said I could use the|| godseeker and steel soul mode||. I asked for help and I was told that this was because randomiser mod disables it, so vanilla re-enables it. Is there any way to disable it again?
can someone help? my friend, when trying to use modinstaller, got this error message from it
requires to use the most recent stable version?
its in pinned messages
do I have to do something with the randomiser mod to fix?

then... don't use them till you meet those requirements?
idk its just kinda glitched and might have some side affects
idk
maybe im being paranoid
Also, you've never beaten the game but you did a randomizer?
i havent beaten it on pc
I did it on switch

I was wondering if there is a custom skin generator, all I want to do is change the skull to a gold color and the cloak to a green color. I have looked at a video that uses sprite packer but looks tedious.

Did you follow the pinned comment telling you to switch to the "beta" 1.4 branch? You just need to undo that 👀

ok then what
Then look at the most recent pin
hello good steam can ban me for using mods?
It explains the problem yoir having
No loads of people use it
I dont think so
Havnt heard of anyone being banned for that so should be good
so im trying to use mods and it will turn on but the game wont even laod
Games and Steam will only (As far as I'm aware) do that when a game has an online/multiplayer mode, to avoid cheaters.
What mods are you using
one sec
okey tanks
so i have mod install,er 2 and im trying to use randomizer mod @tough cradle
ok
Check the read me
??
The readme for the mod
did i think
Do you have the required mods
??
@tough cradle do i need the linux mod thing to??
Do not think so
idk can you join gen 1 rq
Cant i need to sleep sorry
ok
hey I need help me and my friend are trying to play multiplayer and it ain't working
have you downpatched?
not talking to you
oh gotcha
idk what that is
There's a procedure for setting it up in the pins. But instead you should switch to this other multiplayer mod as it's more stable, has additional features, and works better overall. Here's a link to the tutorial for installing and setting it up https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743

its not that
if you haven't downpatched then you need to
the game wont load when i use a mod and after
Yes, that usually happens when you haven't downpatched
what?
any ideas why v1.4.3.2 doesnt let you exit dialogues (for example if you wanna join a pantheon)?
it works on v1.5 but not on v1.4.3.2
That's a vanilla glitch, it happens if you bind m1 to attack
any way around it?
I still have no clue what you mean
Oh
ill share my screan
I'd rather not
ahh
Have you done this?
just did
Lemme go find the post
still not working?
yeah sure, no need to stress 😄
Bug fixes and back end stuff with practically nothing gameplay wise changed
Also more bugs
Here's the bit that's important, I suggest you test unbinding attack from m1 and testing to make sure it is the right issue since some people in the thread seem to mention different things. And here's a link to the whole post in case you want it https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/1736588252402053317/?ctp=2
time to go back to 1.4.3.2 then 😄

ok thanks

Rocket you can react here
aight 1.4.3.2 installed
@native iceyeah binding attaack to LMB is bugging it
Ah, well let me know if the steps in that image actually fix it
well i dont want to always need to switch that windows setting
the post mentions a mod file that claims to fix it though
yea
can i get the modinstaller for mac?
Yes
yeah i already found that one
ooh where?
Uh, I don't think this fix is compatible with mods tho
yeah works now
?? oh nvm
time to install modinstaller again ...
Two conversations
ik
do u know if i can tho
where do i install the modding api?
The installer does that automatically when you run it
?I

what river said
Uh, why?
question: is somebody familiar with the bindings mod?
the README says you can toggle it from the mods menu
but the mods menu is empty for me
but all bindings are active ingame
So do we still need to roll back to 1.4.3 to use mods?
yes
Got it thanks.
where do i put the api in the hollow knight folders, it says i need to set a location for it
Well, from what I know you have to toggle em through the global settings file, tho I'm not certain. If your goal is to use individual bindings then the "Toggleable Bindings" mod is better since there's an in game menu. I believe the main draw of bindings mod is it allows custom bindings as well
fucks sake
modinstaller probably replaces the dll
the dll that i replaced to fix the dialogue bug
yea that's why i said it wouldn't be compatible unfortunately
so i can either have mods or being able to quit dialogues
For windows and steam: Steam\steamapps\Common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\ and replace any existing Assembly-CSharp files
so basically i cant play modded with my kbm keymap
Sorry if this is an faq about modding but is 1.5 support planned or is modding roadmapped to stay on 1.4?
Can always do that this image says but yea unfortunately not
1.5 is being worked on
Thank you kind stranger :D
guess i have to wait for 1.5 then
Any Sprite Packer users know why my Spell Effects and Spell Effects 2 atlases aren't showing up in "Original-Atlas"? They're in the correct atlases folder but only the other two show up
it says its an invalid file to install it in
wait
do you mean the installer?
If you meant where to path the installer to stop in \Common\Hollow Knight\
thank you
nope still invalid place to put it
it says it cant locate anywhere to put it
can you screenshot where you're pathing it?
im pathing it where you say
common/Hollow Knight/
i mean \ not /
i have the game installed on steam with the beta version on it
@native iceis it somehow possible to feedback the modapi author to implement that "workaround" mentioned in the article somehow in the api?
the article author somewhat explains what code sections he modified but im not sure how much effort that would be though
I've got no clue
its literally not doing anything
i cant install it at all
and you said it would install instantly
Well, only things i can say is make sure you're pathing it to the right spot and I guess you can try placing the installer on your desktop and running it as administrator
im litterally clicking on the hollow knight tab and it says it isnt hollow knight
Can't remember if this is important but maybe make sure the the installer is on the same drive as your game
they told me to ask here but for some reason hollow knight when it launches is just a black screen
Because this is the best channel to ask
Try verifying the integrity of the game files, also is your cursor the HK one and do you hear sound on the black screen?
Same area as downpatching but go to Local files instead of betas
wtf is downpatching
I swear you said you already had earlier, welp. Go to steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity
i never said anything about downpatching
yeah im using beta version cuz thats the mod thing
the problems were probably the csharp thing with the not launchin
wait, what csharp thing wdym? Did you manually install the api?
i just clicked the link you supplied
welp i just clicked a language i cant understand
I don't even know what you've done and are doing anymore
?i This one?

yes
That has nothing to do with "Csharp"

it worked fine before. then i got distracted for a few months...
yea then definitely need the third pin
alright lets see if i understand what i'm doing
" browser file cache" what is this?
oh cookies and stuff. nvm
not all mods are on the mod installer though
i need to manually install them and i have noidea how
well i do know how but it aint workin
the major ones are, and the mod installer comes with a feature that lets you add a mod to it. Or you can manually place it in your mods folder at \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods, just make sure you place specifically the dll there, not any folders
tried both of those and they dont show up in the game
screenshot your mods folder
theres not even a mods option in the game
no
ik theres a list of mods you can install on the mod installer but idk how to get to it
blank then messages about manual mods, revert back to unmodded, and to change the install path
It isn't cookies, but i assume you got it already
Uh, well that means something is wrong, try restarting the installer. And if it gives you an error screenshot it
no cause a phonecall distracted me but i got it,yes, thank you
there it is! thankies. i guess it forgot the pathway or something
multiplayer mod wont work...
please help
we tried a bunch of things to make it work but it isnt connecting us to the same lobby
also with randomizer if that changes anything
i know its been 1 minute but like please help
do we need hamachi?
yes
mkay
why does modding this game have be so hard
it's not
Whenever my friend is trying to install the modinstaller it says that he needs to choose a installation path which isnt normal, any suggestions?
it is normal it just usually does it automatically. They should path it to the Hollow Knight folder that contains the hollow_knight.app. For windows and steam it's usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Common\Hollow Knight\
it doesnt work it just says installing 0 mb out of 0 mb and doesnt install anything
Is your friend connected to the internet?
does anyone know how i can download any radiance?
I believe it's in the pinned messages
if you mean ultimatum radiance it's on the installer
ah okay
I tried opening modinstaller and it says that I need to update the game, I verified game files and it still doesnt work. help
so i have the randomizer mod and i was wondering how Duplicate Major Items Effect a Normal Run, (Nothing Is checked)

It creates a second copy of items like wings, dash, monomon, etc. I believe it's purpose is just to make finding major things a bit easier, tho I'm not sure what it actually replaces tbh.
likely geo or smth
Hello, im tyring to install the custom knight mod but everytime i instal it the error messegde comes up that baldur.png is being used in another proces but i don't know what that means or how to fix it.
Move the installer to your desktop and run it as administrator then try again, if that doesn't work navigate to your mods folder (For windows and steam: go to steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse, then go \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_data\Managed\Mods\), and make sure that there are no zipped files, then open the Custom Knight folder, and check for zipped files. If there are any unzip/delete them
Also, make sure your game is closed while using the mod installer
in the mod location in the files there is customknight.dll, modcommon.dll and a zipfile named custom knight. is that corect so far?
Unzip the custom knight folder
and then delet the zipt file corect?
Yep
and now what?
That should be good enough to use the mod (second pinned message for a tutorial and skins btw)
okey thenks, lets se if it works
Try launching the game and checking in the top left to see if the mod is active
then try adding skins
yes it shows in the top left corner, thanks
hey another thing, im right know watchin fireborns tutorial on how to instal the skins. but when he clicks on customknight he gets defult but i get hollow_knight_data. if i continu oppen file after file i get the folowing file Manage, Mods, Customknight, Defult. any reason for why i have 3 more steps and is it a problem?
So, why does it not work? @violet carbon
cool
go to the game
yep
yup
show folder
yea
point the installer to there
thats what i did but it still wont work
make a screenshot of the folder it points you to
when did gog add that weird eula thing, i don't have that
i don't have it either, but then again i don't have hk on gog
oh
...did you pirate the game?
sry but we don't help pirates
afaik it's on sale on HumbleBundle rn, 50% off
oh alright
Okey i have added skins to the folder but they don't show up in the game
anyone that got an ide of why its not working?
Could you screenshot the folder where you put them?
1 folder deeper and screenshot again
by a skin that does not work]
but first, do you have modcommon
yes modcommon is installd and is showing up topleft corner ingame
does turning on CustomKnight turn off my ability to get achievements? i was gonna do the speed run ones but didn’t wanna waste time since i have a skin on
does default show up?
One of your skins that isn't working
no, nothing shows up, i can turn of and on skins and it says in the top left that the mod is on.
No
mk ty
but when i go into a savefile and pres ESC no skins is showing up
Can you screenshot your pause menu and also screenshot the inside of a different skin?
go to options > mods and see if ck is enabled
i screen shot on of the files wiht the skin because everyone look the same exapt a diffrent skin
this is the paumeny in a gamefile
and yes, the mod in option is set to on
Unrelated you will want to get rid of Mod Console
Have you restarted your game recently?
it was off when i put in the skins, started it nothing happend i turn it off and wrote here
so yes, i have restartet it 2 times
worth mentioning, when i click on customknight in the files i don't get up the file "defult" i get holow_knight_Data then Managde then mods and then customknight again
don'ät know why because in the tutorial made off fierborn he gets the file "defult after presing Customgknight the first time
can that have anything to do with it?
Oh, that's your problem
okey so how do i fix it?
It should be mods/Custom knight/[folders with skins in]
So you just want to move all the skin folders to the first Custom Knight folder
so like this?
but why do i have many more files in the custom knight files? and is that any problem so i should delete them or can i leave the files alone?
I'm not sure how they generated, but basically you only want full skin files in here.
So the "Custom Knight HUDs" that you have there might not work as you want.
If you select a HUD with no skin, it will overwrite your skin with default
okey, got it. but what about the file that leads to more files?
You can delete that
okey
It won't affect anything either way
hey, is there mod for using more charms? i couldn't find it
infinite notches is on the installer
Hey, i still can't make custome knight to work. No skins show up in the pause menu
does anyone have any ide for why the skins whon't show up?
hey guys im new here
i wanna install the mod thingy but it says pls update ot to the new version
thats stable
and it is updated

have you played through the game at least once?
is it because I deleted all hollow knight files from regedit?
yes i have all achivement and +50 hours
and it should come back
should be easy enough, any% can do it in 33 min 
speedrun :D?
yup
are there mods that render the knight invisble? I'm looking to take screenshots of various areas in order to study their composition
Debug mod
oh cool, is there a command I need to type?
i think the delete key does it
alongside one of the six buttons above the arrow keys
just press every one twice, one of them toggles hero light
and one of them the HUD
delete, backspace and insert for me, but i likely changed them
is 1.5 modinstaller out yet?
nop
Or is it?
grenade says 56 has a repo but if he has then its not public
what's your game resolution set to
well i have sorta fixt the problem, they now show up to the left in the pause menu BUT the skin wont change on the character
resolution is set to 1920x1080 with 60 HZ'
got any ide on how to fix it?
well I dunno what you've changed. but if your screenshot above is any indication, your skin file structure is wrong
well i was informed to have the skin files in the first place when i start click on custom knight in the files
from second pin
If your skins still aren't working, then one of the following may be the cause:
1)You don't have modcommon
2)You have moresaves installed (conflicts with UI)
3)Your skin folder is structured with extra folders (Structure should be: Managed/Mods/Customknight/[Skin folder name]/[Skin PNG files])
4)You have lightbringer or hollow point installed (conflict with customknight)
and that diden't work
well thats the thing, i have changed to that when i click on custom knight i hade all the game filed there but that diden't work, then i saw that there now was a second file named custom knight so i put the skins there and then it workt. I now se the skins name in the pause menu BUT only one time out of four does clicking on the skin name change my characters skin
right now this is how my files look like
Do you know about branches?
And ping oop
if i put the skins in the top one off the two custom knight the skin wont shot
pong
and i have tryd to delete the second file but it always come back. When i place the skin files in the second one they show up on the pause menu but only with half the name of the skin.
My advise
dev branch of MI2 you mean?
Yeet entire mod folder
And redownload all mods
Cuz to CK folders and a hollow point folder isn't normal
okey i try it
and also "customknight" is the correct folder
taken away all the files and reinstald the custom knight mode and modcommand, taken away all the extra files in custom knight and put in the skins i like. and now they won't show up in the pause menu
not the one with the space
okey so it is the one without the spoace that the skins should be in
okey because no one told me there should be two
there shouldn't
so why do i have two?
you made the other one
