[vernal rain]

no

latest pin

[cedar wind]

the github link?

[vernal rain]

yes, has a modinstaller for the 1.5 patch

[cedar wind]

so, just run scarab dot exe?

[vernal rain]

yes

[cedar wind]

do mods still work if I remove the file called LICENSE?

[fair briar]

yes

[cedar wind]

apparently, Scarab doesn't include the randomizer

[fair briar]

nope

i'm still reccomending 1.4, but riverrobot and grenade are already pointing people to 1.5

[cedar wind]

so, apparently Scarab isn't working

[safe obsidian]

has anyone made a skin yet that gives the knight the pure vessels cloak? i always thought that would be a cool idea before i even knew there was a hollow knight modding community

[cedar wind]

Scarab does not work for me, it didn't even attempt to load the mod, it just started the normal game

ok, so, apparently, my Hollow Knight game does NOT allow the randomizer to work at all

Scarab? Doesn't work at all, the radiant host randomizer? loads, but crashes immediately

gets about 35% done loading before it crashes

idk what to do at this point

even mod manager v8.7.1 by Gradow doesn't work!

what do I do?!

ok, now, I have NO mods installed, yet the modloader is STILL active

[safe obsidian]

theres something wrong with your game folder. try verifying files on steam

[cedar wind]

done

what now

I want to mod the game

but no matter what I do, it doesn't work

[safe obsidian]

if your files have been verified and your mods are still broken then you just need to uninstall everything

just reinstall all the mods and stuff

reload everything

[cedar wind]

the game works now, but when I mod it, it doesn't work

it shows the loading thing before it opens the game, but that disappears and it basically just crashes

[safe obsidian]

thats a problem with the mods then

not the game

[cedar wind]

yeah, so what do I do about that

[safe obsidian]

you need to reload or reinstall the mods

sounds like everything somehow got corrupted

and i dont really know of a way to fix that other than just reinstalling

[cedar wind]

I need both the exe and pdb file, right?

[safe obsidian]

yes

[cedar wind]

so, modding API is automatically installed

do I touch that at all in the modinstaller?

it does say Out of date

[safe obsidian]

i mean if everything is broken then you should just start messing around

you cant make the situation any worse

so just start playin with files

delete stuff if you feel like its broken

[cedar wind]

I'm just going to check, does EnemyHPBar work

[ruby stratus]

how do you make skins appear in hk?

mp?

[karmic tinsel]

Hey so i wanna ask something how do i see other ppls skin in hkmp.

[cedar wind]

nope, enemyhpbar does not work

ffs!

WHY DOES IT NOT WORK?!

[safe obsidian]

i know a bunch have people have probably already told you this but are you sure you're on the right version for the mods you want?

[cedar wind]

I downloaded the latest modinstaller

Scarab doesn't work AT ALL

[safe obsidian]

well it is new

and currently being worked on

maybe its just busted rn

[cedar wind]

or, it's just that my game does not like mods at all

[safe obsidian]

your game is on 1.5 right

the patch that scarab was made for

not 1.4

the patch for the old mod installer

[cedar wind]

I do have access to 1.4.3.2

but that's a beta thing

1.5.75.11827

so, 1.5

[safe obsidian]

is scarab installed to the right folder? it should be in your steam hollow knight folder

[cedar wind]

it NEVER told me that!

so, I select and drag all the files from the folder into the Hollow_Knight_Data, right?

[safe obsidian]

no

open scarab.exe

click change path

and put it in your hollow knight folder

[cedar wind]

does it need to be the data folder?

or managed

[fathom vessel]

guys is multyplayer mod on 1.5?

[safe obsidian]

try the data first

[cedar wind]

invalid path

[karmic tinsel]

helpo me

[cedar wind]

I'm being helped first because I'm trying to get mods to work at all

ok, it just told me to reopen the installer

now what

just installed Bench Warp, and it works

[safe obsidian]

it should be in the folder containing data

not in data itself tho

oh wait its working?

[cedar wind]

it's working now, yeah

[safe obsidian]

nice

[cedar wind]

saw the loading bar when I opened the game

but now, I want to add the randomizer, but that's for a DIFFERENT modinstaller

also, I want gun

[safe obsidian]

thats 1.4 exclusive currently

[cedar wind]

ah

[safe obsidian]

so you have to downpatch

[cedar wind]

so, for v 1.4.3.2, right?

[safe obsidian]

and install the older mod installer

yeah v 1432

[cedar wind]

ok

[karmic tinsel]

Help me someone.

[fathom vessel]

Do I have to port forward to host the multiplayer

[fathom vessel]

it should be enabled when u pause the game on the right side

i think

[ruby stratus]

yes but

i cant see anyone's skin

[fathom vessel]

maybe its client sided?

[karmic tinsel]

NANI!

[solar crater]

does anyone know whats going on? please ping if reply to me

also theres no music in the background

the hollow knight theme isnt playing as it should

imnot sure if mods are the problem

[ruby stratus]

what's your mod's list

[solar crater]

you mean every mod i have installed?

[limber egret]

Check the pinned messages there's a message about this

[solar crater]

i see

thank you

[pliant lantern]

https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743

There is a section on Skins

[pliant lantern]

Scarab itself can be anywhere, tbh.
It probably shouldn't be in the Downloads folder, although 56 thinks that even that is fine.

[novel bronze]

yall, whenever i click the "installed" thingy to install a mod, my scarab closes..

can some1 helpme

[real jacinth]

your what closes?

[novel bronze]

scarab

[neon marten]

Mod installer for 1.5

[verbal sequoia]

I'm looking at the pins and see that there's the installer for 1.5 that i'm assuming is the one with the zote icon, and then there's scarab from today, and I'm confused on which one I'm supposed to use unless its up to my choice

[neon marten]

@verbal sequoia scarab is the 1.5 installer

[verbal sequoia]

Then why are they seperate posts from two different dates?

[real jacinth]

b/c there's 3 installer versions now

1, 2, and scarab

1 and 2 support patch 1.4.3.2

[verbal sequoia]

Which one is 1, is that the original one with the zote icon?

[vernal rain]

yes

is 1
is 2
scarab is named scarab

[verbal sequoia]

Alright, so then which version is recommended? and does scarab only do 1.5 or can it also do 1.4?

[vernal rain]

1 & 2 are 1.4.3.2 only, scarab is 1.5 only

[real jacinth]

and 1.5 has like.... 4 mods on it so far

so if you want the whole mod list, play on 1432 still

[vernal rain]

26*

[verbal sequoia]

Really? Cause Scarab was showin me a lot of available ones plus my 4 installed ones (the required cores + Customknight and enemy hp bar) ill have to check it all out later after my upcoming class.

[real jacinth]

is there a comprehensive list somewhere

today is going to suck

[vernal rain]

https://github.com/hk-modding/modlinks/blob/main/ModLinks.xml this one

i could make a list as a message, but that would prob be a lot of lines

[real jacinth]

so it's pulling the xml for 1432 into scarab?

[vernal rain]

it's a seperate xml, for 1.5

[real jacinth]

you sure this link is for 1.5?

so.... rando 2 is on scarab?

doesnt seem right

[vernal rain]

i accidentally sent the 1432 at first, then the 1.5 one

[real jacinth]

so basically just all yours. lol

[vernal rain]

majority of it, yea

i was like 'i should update and upload all my mods and submit them to the modlinks'

i know of at least 2 that aren't working correctly though

[real jacinth]

there's gotta be a script to search for <name> then paste what's after, so we can run it and update the list

b/c people are going to ask constantly

[vernal rain]

'xyz is outdated' time

[verbal sequoia]

Also can I have rhe answer to my quick last question, sorry if this is interrupting your conversation just want to make sure im all good

Does it matter which mod loader is used for 1.4.3.2?

Or would ir be better to move loader 2 instead of loader 1

[real jacinth]

yes it matters b/c 1 and 2 are for 1432

scarab is not

if you're talking about between 1+2 for 1432, then it doesn't matter

[verbal sequoia]

Im talking for between only 1 and 2, for 1432. just wanted to know if it mattered which one i used.

[past badger]

does anyone know how to go back to an older version of hk?

[past badger]

Thank you

[ruby stratus]

if i update from the beta to regular latest version will it break my game?

[real jacinth]

no

[pliant lantern]

Yes

[pliant lantern]

Are you saying that you just want a list of what mods are on which installer?

[heady quest]

Does anyone have a link to the mod installer :?

[pliant lantern]

What mods do you want?

[heady quest]

i wanted the one to change me appearence

appearance~

[pliant lantern]

So you want Custom Knight, for version 1432 right now

[real jacinth]

yes a script file to search through each xml and grab what's between <name> and </name> to make a list of each

b/c the 1.5 xml will be changing over time

so a way to generate that quickly

[heady quest]

i think so i'm new to the mod thing tbh

[pliant lantern]

See the second pinned message, and probably use mod Installer 2

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/SNnXREQe70-mUXlpTfsAoB-IhfZ5NO8_Lr05_1oETOQ/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/879286406726451210/880046151410282506/hk_pins.png

[pliant lantern]

We started a comprehensive spreadsheet of mods on HK:Modding, with an input form.
Currently there's not a field for if it's on an installer, but I'll probably add that today. Then people can be a bit more independent.

A Script would be good though for this channel's general use though, especially for the next few days.

[pliant lantern]

• the mod that changes Knight appearance is Custom Knight.
• that mod isn't on 1.5 until probably this weekend, so if you want it before then, then you'll need to play on 1.4 (which is what the second pin is about)
• mod installer 2 is linked in the 3rd pin
• there's information on using custom Knight, and links to skins, in another pin

[ruby stratus]

how does the moresaves mod work

like i can see 1/2 page on the saves screen

but idk how to add more saves

[gloomy coral]

[ and ] buttons

[ruby stratus]

oh thank you

[remote jolt]

I tried downloading the mod installer but it says couldn't locate hollow knight installation folder and whenever I try to click on one it says invalid path selected and i don't really know what to do

[ruby stratus]

you have to select the hollow knight folder

not the data folder

[pliant lantern]

• what mod do you want to use (this matters because there are different mods on different versions right now)
• what installer did you download?
• what folder are you telling it?
• what version of HK are you currently on?

[proven siren]

So I have downloaded the 2.0 version of modloader for windows and when I click play in steam it just crashes. What do I do?

[ruby stratus]

trying delete HkModinstaller in Appdata > Roaming

[pliant lantern]

• what version of HK are you currently on?
• what OS are you on?
• did you read the second pin?

[pliant lantern]

That shouldn't affect HK crashing.

[proven siren]

1. How do I check?
   2)Windows 10
2. Now I did. Downloading beta now

[remote jolt]

I wanna use the randomizer mod, I installed mod installer 2, I just tried a bunch of random folders in my laptop and I'm on the newest version of HK

[pliant lantern]

If you weren't on the beta yet, then you were on 1.5
You'll need to do the "if mods still don't work" steps after you are done changing to 1432

[proven siren]

Thanks!

[pliant lantern]

Newest version of HK doesn't have Randomizer yet.
See second pin

The folder you'll need to point the installer to is the one with hollow_knight.exe in it, but it should find that automatically once your on the correct version of HK

And don't leave the mod installer in your Downloads folder

[remote jolt]

ok, thanks!

[proven siren]

Why not?

[pliant lantern]

Because Windows has security features on that folder, and will occasionally prevent it from working correctly

Windows doesn't like programs being run from that folder

[proven siren]

How do I find a Readme of a mod?

[pliant lantern]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/edit?usp=sharing

[proven siren]

Thanks

[misty grove]

im not sure if i should ask this here but i cant seem to get desolate dive from soul master and im using the hollowpoint mod and i was wondering if that was the issue

[proven siren]

I did everything but mods still don't work. Do I need to restart my PC?

they do now. Thanks for your help!

No 2nd

[proper iron]

Is the Hollow Point mod bugged or smthn? Whenever I shoot it shoots one bullet and then I can't shoot again for like at least 5 seconds
The bullets don't deal damage to anything either

[limber egret]

Read the readme

[proper iron]

Yeah I think I must've missed a section there

[proven delta]

how can i slove this ?

[limber egret]

Have you downpatched your game?

[proven delta]

how can i downpatch game?

oh i did it thanks

[verbal sequoia]

Mk so I'm back and not for reasons related to earlier

So I've reinstalled Hollow Knight and are messing with mods I wanted to install via Loader 2 (This is version 1432, almost forgot to specify) and everytime I pause, I can't unpause. I have to leave my save and re-enter that save. Is this a known issue with a specific mod or anything? Or is it likely just a bad combination of mods?

My enabled mod list btw

[real jacinth]

are all of these showing up on your title screen? do any say they failed to load?

and I think it might be controller vibration. just a hunch

[verbal sequoia]

Let me double check, but iirc since I just had it opened they were all showing

and that's a possibility, either cuz it just doesn't like me or bc im using keyboard and mouse rn

[real jacinth]

if you're hoping to vibrate your keyboard, it won't do that.

[verbal sequoia]

Nah, I just like controller vibration so i thought to install it for when I do play with my controller whenever its on me

So here's what loaded, posting this here for an easier way to double check as well

Everything except SFCore shows up, but i wouldn't think that would be the issue. Right?

[real jacinth]

no. sfcore is a library mod

[verbal sequoia]

Yeah exactly

[real jacinth]

not all library ones show up

[verbal sequoia]

So let me try disabling vibration since that's your guess

Yeah it was controller vibration, don't understand it but we found it out. thanks for the help

[novel bronze]

Could someone help me please

[pliant lantern]

Not unless you explain your problem and what you need help with

This channel is for people helping, so asking for help is kinda redundant :P

Also, if you haven't yet, don't forget to check the pins

[smoky spade]

Im trying to play multiplayer with a friend, and we both have followed the guide step by step to play with zerotier, and have everything set up like it says. However, both of our server mods don't have the "start server" button in game...we have still tried connecting and such but ofc it doesn't work -- why is our 'start server' button missing/how do we fix?

[novel bronze]

only one person needs to run a server

or else is could cause difficulties

which multiplayer mod are you using?

[novel bronze]

did you down patch the game?

[prisma onyx]

Its the 1.4.3.2 version

[limber egret]

Did you definitely download the correct mod installer for your operating system?

[brazen fiber]

in benchwarp every time i using warp it teleports me to the start of the game

i cant click on another bench

[novel bronze]

where tf do u install the modinstaller

or the second

if there is

idk

nvm

there are lots of fake modinstallers

[novel bronze]

which multiplayer mod do you use?

[limber egret]

Have you sat on any other benches yet?

[brazen fiber]

yes

[limber egret]

The installer is in the pinned messages. Move it to your desktop.

[limber egret]

Screenshot your pause menu

[novel bronze]

ik

ik

thats why i said nvm

[limber egret]

Have you clicked on one of the areas where you have sat on a bench?

Like go and sit on Dirtmouth bench and then open the first area drop down. It should now have Dirtmouth highlighted.

If you just want to warp anywhere, open the right hand settings menu, and you can unlock all benches

[brazen fiber]

you mean i need to sit everywhere after installing mod?

[limber egret]

No

[brazen fiber]

i want to teleport

what should i do

[limber egret]

Read... The thing I said???

[brazen fiber]

i am not english speaker

sry if misread

ok i understood

ty

[long coral]

I installed some mods and have a bit of an issue. Everything is overlapping.

[limber egret]

The hit counter UI and hollow point UI simply won't work together.

Looks like also grass mod

[long coral]

Yes. That's correct. So I have to choose just 1?

[limber egret]

Basically yes

[novel bronze]

The mod installer keeps telling me to update the game to the most recent stable update does anyone know how to fix this?

[long coral]

Ok. Thank you! 😁

[novel bronze]

nvm I figured it out thanks anyways

[grim hare]

I've got my mods installed, checked, they're in my folder 's well, do I needa do something special to activate them?
My game just looks normal

Oh wait do I need the modinstaller open when I'm in-game?

[novel bronze]

yeah I do believe so I think you have to keep it open while in game

but after you install everything it should automatically be activated I think

[real jacinth]

no

[grim hare]

Moved the installer, they're showing up now 👌

[small rain]

are all the mods in scarab updated for 1.5 of Hollow Knight or

[real jacinth]

yes

[prisma onyx]

Yes

[slim plank]

hi, can anyone help me? whenever i try to open scarab, it doesnt let me and gives an error message about it being from an unidentified developer. im on a mac btw.

[limber egret]

Click "more information" or something and then just "run anyway"

[slim plank]

?

[limber egret]

?

It's that not an option in any way?

[slim plank]

what does "run away" mean

[limber egret]

Screenshot what you're seeing.

[prisma onyx]

This is what appears to me

When i try to open modinstaller

[native ice]

Try downloading this, https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48

[slim plank]

how do i send an image? it isnt working

never mind

what im seeing

[prisma onyx]

Thanks, ill see if it works

[slim plank]

my screenshot is what happens if i do that

[slim plank]

i tried pressing that, but i just doesnt press. it just blinks blue as if i were to press it, but doesnt work

[prisma onyx]

Shit im windows 7

My OS doesnt allow NET framework 4.8

[native ice]

Uh, well you can try Mod Installer 2, not sure if it'll work tho tbh.

[native ice]

Are you looking for any mod in particular btw?

[prisma onyx]

The randomizer mod, and some skin mods

[prisma onyx]

Ill see

[slim plank]

so, i also downloaded the modinstaller, but whenever i try to launch my game, it crashes

[native ice]

Okay then you're good, you just needa return to version 1.4.3.2 btw, check the second pinned message for more info

[native ice]

Did you download the 1.4.3.2 mod installer while still on 1.5...

[slim plank]

no

im on 1.4.3.2, but it quits. you helped me with getting the modinstaller to work, but now hollow knight doesnt work

[native ice]

Oh, so wait are you on 1.4.3.2 with the 1.5 installer (Scarab)??

[slim plank]

no, i have the 1.4.3.2 modinstaller i think... it is the one with the weird face? is that updated?

[native ice]

Does it say scarab in the top left?

[slim plank]

no

its called "modinstaller2"

[native ice]

Okay, and when you launch the game does it tell you anything?

or show you anything

[slim plank]

one sec

[native ice]

before/after the crash

[slim plank]

oh right, it doesnt crash, it just doesnt start, sorry

there is an error message one sec

oh great i had to switch from public beta to 1.4.3.2 sorry

it will take one minute

almost

sorry

[prisma onyx]

It says that I need this when i open it

the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.ddl thing

[slim plank]

this is the error

i should have permission

its mostly the steam message

[native ice]

Ah, check the third pinned message. The steam post

[native ice]

I have a feeling it's just not gonna work, well next solution is manually installing mods

[slim plank]

• The Steam 1432 Beta should be working for Mac users now, but if not then here's instructions on an alternate method of Downpatching to 1432 on Mac:

  this?

[native ice]

Yes

[slim plank]

ok thanks

one of the files says "not found"

it is the first oone

[native ice]

wait

shit nvm that's the wrong one

[native ice]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/3109153465655517517/

[prisma onyx]

Damn, well, i tried.

[native ice]

Manually installing mods isn't too bad, I can walk you through the process

[prisma onyx]

Wait for me a bit, im going to do something

[slim plank]

ok, i put into finder. is there anything else i should do?

it started!! thanks a lot!!!!

ive been trying stuff for hours

oh.

it isnt responding now

[native ice]

uh

I guess just be patient and let it load

[slim plank]

ok.

thanks for the help!

[prisma onyx]

Ok im back

[native ice]

To start, you're on steam right?

[prisma onyx]

Yes.

[native ice]

Okay, well the first thing you'll want to do, is get to your game files. The simple way to do this is to go to your steam library > right click HK > select properties > local files > browse

[prisma onyx]

Ok, now what?

[native ice]

Oh also, while you're there you need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2, it's in the HK properties just select betas, then the drop down tab, select 1.4.3.2, and then close the menu and let it update

[prisma onyx]

Yup, i already did that

[native ice]

Mmk, then you'll want to download the 1.4.3.2 modding api from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1CeAvoiU5Ijj3iSf5Z_jstZxn4baVtRqT Specifically the one labelled universal, the other is for mac/linux

After you download it, unzip the folder, inside will be a folder, open the folder and then keep opening folders until you find a couple Assembly-CSharp files, should be with a empty "Mods" folder

[jovial terrace]

i have a problem with modinstaller

my modinstaller dont locate hollow knight

[native ice]

Then in your game files, follow this path: \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\, and place the modding api's assembly-csharp files (and the mods folder) into this folder, replacing any existing ones

[prisma onyx]

Ok

[native ice]

Move the installer to your desktop and run it as administrator

And check the third pinned message

Yeah, ok

[native ice]

That should be the modding api installed, now you just need to installer the mods you want

Yay, thanks

[native ice]

Search for whatever mod you want (using ctrl + F)

Download it, unzip it, and place the dll file directly into the mods folder

Also of note, some mods require other mods to work, so you'll have to add those manually

You said you wanted Rando 3 and custom knight (skins)?

[jovial terrace]

dont work

modinstaller dont locate my hollow knight

[prisma onyx]

Yep

[jovial terrace]

i try locate using this:

but dont locate

[native ice]

Well, the latest version of randomizer 3 (a beta version with some cursed options not yet on the installer), can be found in the pins of #randomizer. Then it's dependencies are: ModCommon, SereCore, Vasi, QoL, and Benchwarp. And Custom knights only dependency is Mod Common

[jovial terrace]

i click at hollow knight past but don't locate

[native ice]

Why are you using that? Did the installer not find it automatically?

[jovial terrace]

Are you looking for any mods in particular?

[stark belfry]

Randzomizer mainly

[native ice]

Then yea you need the second pin

1.5 doesn't have rando yet

[stark belfry]

what mods do they have

[native ice]

There's not a full list atm, but some small ones that weren't on the 1.4 installer, and some of the ones that were but updated, some got new features. You can download it and see for yourself

[prisma onyx]

Hey bro, ya know how to put skin mods? I have the GrimmKnight one

[native ice]

4th pinned message has a tutorial and the skins

could this be it? the fabled 1.5 mods?

i feel kinda dumb now i probably should've checked

nah you good

gonna be fun once rando gets on the 1.5 installer

i tried out the old beta 1.4 on steam just to check it out and the movement feels so weird

[twin pebble]

sorry for reposting idk which channel i should put this in, how can i give myself one simple key in debug mod? it gives me 3 for some reason

wait also i need to get all bosses on godtuner and stuff, i just wanna do godhome on a new file with debug is that possible

[novel bronze]

does anyone have the download for Any Radiance 2.0, No Radiance, and The Nailmasters?

[mystic sundial]

so for the 1.5 mod installer do I just click the Scarab.exe to start the installation after downloading the windows.zip file from the pinned github link?

[desert saddle]

Hey I'm new to modding stuff and I need help with getting multiplayer to work. Help would be appreciated.

godseeker save

[native ice]

Yes

[native ice]

I suggest you use the link at the top of this message, it's for a better multiplayer mod not yet on the installer, also note that no multiplayer mod is for 1.5 so check the second pinned message #archived-modding-help message

I mean without items and stuff lol

Gimme a sec

Wait, what do you mean exactly? Are you trying to do like low% godhome? Or are you just trying to reach godhome or what?

[twin pebble]

Reach godhome using mods with starting inventory

[native ice]

Oh I see

[native ice]

Well instead of giving yourself a key just go pick up the city store rooms one

[twin pebble]

Ok but what about bosses for godtuner

[native ice]

That's not something you can really do except benchwarping around killing things, or maybe save editing (but it would take a lot of changes and I'm not certain which)

[novel bronze]

anyone can help me make a pull request I'm kinda confused what to do to upload my mod to mod installer

sorry if this has been asked before, are the mods on the 1.5 the only ones usable? or is there more that i can install myself?

the mods that are on the installer i mean

[native ice]

They're pretty much all of em, if you want a wider selection you'll need to return to 1.4.3.2, check the third pinned message and get the 1.4.3..2 installer

[novel bronze]

i was just saying cuz' customknight isnt on the list of the installer

[native ice]

Yes, it'll probably be added around the weekend.

[novel bronze]

anyone knows why debug doesn't work from mod installer?

[native ice]

In what way is it not working, and what version are you on?

[novel bronze]

[urban dust]

Hello! I'm new to modding, and I'm trying to install a randomizer. I had exceptional difficulties with the radiance.host modinstaller (I did downgrade to the older patch, but when I tried to download the randomizer it started automatically downloading several other mods, got hung up on something called 'Vasi', and aborted the randomizer download), so I decided to just jump back up to the latest patch and try that new Scarab site that's been pinned. However, I can't make heads or tails of it. So just give it to me straight, doc - can I use it to install a randomizer for the current patch?

[native ice]

Randomizer isn't out for current patch, and those other mods it was downloading are required to make it run

Did it give you an error when it "got hung up" on vasi?

If so it was probably this ^ so do these steps, or if it wasn't then you probably just need to try again or give it more time

[urban dust]

Gotcha! I figured those were probably supporting mods. And yes - unhandled exception has occurred in your application. Not being technically literate, I haven't a clue how to fox that, or how to manually download the Vasi app.

[native ice]

The unhandled exception part doesn't say to much, but the error in that pinned message shows up at the bottom of an unhandled exception error, so I assume it's that

[urban dust]

Ah! Yes, it's that. I was following those instructions, but I've hit a roadblock. I went to Steam\steam apps\common\hollow knight\hollow_knight_data, but there's no Vasi file in there for me to unzip. Actually, there's nothing in the folder at all besides a Config file.

Presumably, that's the file where my mods are supposed to go...are my mods being downloaded to the wrong place, or perhaps not downloaded at all? Is there a way to make sure they go to the right location?

Also, I greatly appreciate your taking an interest in my difficulties 🙂

[native ice]

Sorry had to step away, you need to go two files deeper, \hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\

[urban dust]

Yeah! The managed and Mods files don't exist.

[native ice]

Huh, interesting

Mind screenshotting it?

[urban dust]

Sure, I'll give that a shot. Never put a screenshot on Discord, though, so give me a minute to figure it out

[native ice]

Should just be dragging the image anywhere on discord

[urban dust]

Missing those files!

That was easy!

[native ice]

Hmm, and how did you reach this file location?

Ah nvm that

[urban dust]

I manually went through the file explorer, starting in my D drive and clicking through 'til I found it

[native ice]

Uh, try going to your steam library > right clicking HK > select properties > local files > browse

You probably found some unused steam files, maybe for a different drive or somethin

[urban dust]

OH! Found it!!!

Okay, so I've found the Vasi folder, and I can unzip it! It says, 'Select a destination and extract files'.

Should I put them anywhere in particular? I believe it said to make sure that the Vasi.dll file was in Mods, not its own folder...?

[native ice]

Yep, just unzip it, delete the old file, and make sure that you place the "Vasi" dll file directly into the "Mods" folder, if it's empty you can delete the whole thing and try reinstalling it again

[urban dust]

Gotcha! I'll give this a shot - one minute

IT WORKED! IT WORKED!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your help! You are amazing!

Yay! Yup, all up and running - and my first randomized geo deposit was monarch wings, so clearly the mod is being kind to me on my first run. Alright, I'm off to play - thank you a million more times for taking so much time to help me with this. You're amazing 🙂

[native ice]

Good luck, have fun!

[unique veldt]

Hello! I installed the HK mod installer and alot of mods such as room randomizer say they are out of date, anyone have any ideas on how to fix that?

[novel bronze]

is it normal that the two menus from the debug mod overlap, the left and top one, im on the 1.5 version

[native ice]

Uh, can't say for sure. It wasn't like that on the 1.4.3.2 version. I believe youc an press f1 repeatedly to maybe hide the one on the left

[pliant lantern]

One of the other F# buttons hides the other menu panel. I don't remember which off the top of my head

[native ice]

O, didn't know that. Is it a 1.5 debug feature or has it been there for a while?

[novel bronze]

the thing is that on the 1.4 version they dont overlap

[fair briar]

just make keybinds?

you can just edit the keybinds in the bind menu

[novel bronze]

even when all the menus are open at the same time

[fair briar]

set one to the big left menu, press it and it dissapears

[novel bronze]

i mean, i dont really have a problem with the top and left menus overlaping, i just wanted to say it in case it isnt intended since on the previous version its not this way

[still jungle]

why does the modding api say out of date and its orange not blue do i need to fix or will it still run fine btw its version 1.4.3.2

well yolo wish me luck bye

Just click the orange box

[vivid reef]

Is the hollow point mod supposed to start with the ak-47 or is it an upgrade later on?

It's supposed to, if it's not and you have an ineffective gun ||(then you didn't read the readme)|| and you started a new save file, which causes problems, quit to menu and reload the save

[vivid reef]

Thanks

[reef bolt]

After trying to mod, has anyone ever had the game uh
Cease to work?
The menu music is gone, the sound effects still work, there's no longer any saves, just the outlines of them, with no text

Hello people, didn't use mods in a long time and wanted to play with some cool skins. Once i decided to update modinstaller, the update was successful, however my game couldnt load and always crashed. So i decided to reinstall the game. After reinstalling the game I tried to open modinstaller, but it said that the game files were unable to be located. .So I decided to reinstall modinstaller. However I do not know how to uninstall it properly and saw a person saying that you just need to delete the mods folder from "Hollow knight > Managed" and I did that. But after trying to install the modinstaller again, the same message appeared, "unable to locate game files", but the mods folder kept popping up in "managed" again. Anyone can help?

[native ice]

Were you looking for any mods in particular?

[ivory inlet]

custom knight

[native ice]

Mmk, well you'll want to check the second pinned message. That should fix the crashing and also probably the "Unable to locate game files" problem, however for the latter it also helps to make sure your installer is on your desktop and that you run it as administrator

Also make sure you're using Randomiser 3

[merry cradle]

is the floor is lava mod doable?

i dont think so

[split crown]

will having the randomiser mod active affect an already started game?

[merry cradle]

dont think so

it generates a seeed

when u start a new file

[real jacinth]

yes. but not if you don't open that save

it won't randomize it, but it'll change some game flags

which you don't want

[split crown]

i opened it but i havent played it yet

started playing it*

[pliant lantern]

If you open a non-Randomizer save file, with randomizer installed, and then save + quit on that file, you will permanently break some stuff on file

(stuff being: grub father, seer, and possibly some other things)

[split crown]

shit i did that

any way to fix it

?

[split crown]

even if its completed?

[limber egret]

If it's fully completed then no

Because you've already done Grubfather and Seer

[pliant lantern]

It wouldn't matter if it's a 112% file

[limber egret]

Which are the main two that are affected

[pliant lantern]

If you are concerned though, you can restore your previous automatic backup.
Backups are in your saves folder, and are labeled something like user#1111.dat.bak, where # is save slot, and 1111 is the save number (so bigger number is a more recent save).

Jij, where did you download mod installer 2 from btw?

[opal mauve]

I watched a tutorial that told me to look in the pins in this channel. I couldn't find it in the pins, so I just searched and clicked on the newest download by 56

[pliant lantern]

• A, can you link the tutorial by any chance?
• B, the pin in question would be like the third one here :P

[opal mauve]

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i0XNpM_QRo
2. Can't believe I missed that. I was looking for a pin that said only "Install - MacOS" or something similar, so I must have overlooked the larger message.

[pliant lantern]

Thank you~

[opal mauve]

The macos scarab download seems to be damaged / corrupted, and I'm not sure I'll be able to get it working. Is there any way to reset my hollow knight api back to vanilla so I can just run unmodded for now until I figure out scarab? (hk is crashing whenever I try to run it)

[reef falcon]

wich is the diferent whit the installer 1 and installer2?

[real jacinth]

you could just verify game integrity with steam. or you could select the beta branch and use 1432 with installer 2

[frosty ravine]

hey i hope this isnt a dumb question, but is there a way to make custom knight work on scarab? i went through pins and didnt see anything, all guides seem to use the old mod installer

[real jacinth]

no

[blissful vessel]

how do I know which mod installer to use for a specific mod? I want to install the child of light mod.

[real jacinth]

well that's not on scarab yet

[blissful vessel]

so the old one?

[pliant lantern]

Custom Knight will likely be added to Scarab over this weekend

[blissful vessel]

where do I put the mod file

in the steam folder?

[wheat orchid]

The mod installer?

To install a mod just click the installed? Button

[blissful vessel]

yea but like do I have to put the zip of the mod somewhere or was downloading the mod zip pointless

[pliant lantern]

Downloading the .zip was pointless

The installer downloads what you need

[blissful vessel]

ok

[real jacinth]

Current installer:
-Scarab (game patch 1.5.x.x+, Win/Mac/Linux): https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/latest

Click on the mod's name in scarab for a short description.

[blissful vessel]

thanks

do I have to use a specific launcher or do I just start the game from steam now?

[wheat orchid]

Just start it

[blissful vessel]

by the way, is there some sort of damage chart for the radiance spells?

[real jacinth]

maybe in the readme

[blissful vessel]

or do they just deal default damage

[real jacinth]

otherwise, no

[vernal rain]

asciicamera listed twice

[blissful vessel]

readme doesn't have anything about damage

[real jacinth]

ty. changed the link and fixed

[blissful vessel]

I did try opening the mod files but I didn't find anything there

[austere stone]

yall in the middle of something?

[blissful vessel]

Just looking for something that maybe looks like it'd be the damage

[austere stone]

I was wondering if there was a mod that just replaced regular radiance for absrad and hollow knight for pure vessel in the end of the game, not sure how easy doing something like that would be but it seems like something that would exist

[limber egret]

If it's not on the readme it doesn't exist. Feel free to use debug mod and figure out the damage though

[novel bronze]

Hi, i have a doubt, will i have to reinstall the 1.5 mod installer when the 1.5 customknight is released or will it automatically be added to the list of mods that appear on it

[limber egret]

I haven't heard of this kind of thing ever, so I would doubt it

[blissful vessel]

I mean, I found this

[austere stone]

why hasnt anyone done this already wtf

time to learn how to mod i guess

[limber egret]

The installer will update with new mods as they are added to the installer. Usually this is very shortly after they are actually made.

[novel bronze]

I see, ty

[blissful vessel]

oh, you can check with debug mod?

thanks for the info

[limber egret]

Debug mod will show health, so when you do damage it's just a simple sum

[novel bronze]

I was playing on the 1280x720, but on 1920x1080 is the same, and changing the screen scale changes nothing, it overlaps no mater if i change stuff

[prisma thorn]

How can I mod the game it keeps saying i have the wrong version and i dont know how to fix it

[real jacinth]

which installer did you get

[prisma thorn]

let me see

the one with the guy who calls himself a knight

[real jacinth]

dave

[prisma thorn]

the one we saved from a big fly

yes that

[real jacinth]

you have to downpatch your game to 1432

[prisma thorn]

how do i do that

[real jacinth]

third pinned message

Check the second pin

[mental python]

👍

[cunning cloak]

what do i do after getting the mod installer

[limber egret]

Read the pinned messages

If you're using scarab, just open it and click what you want. If not, then follow the instructions in the second pinned message

Okay now it's the third one

[cunning cloak]

oh k

i done the beta thing and installed the thing on the 2nd pin

but what do i do to get the mods

[limber egret]

Open the file you downloaded

And click things

You need to make sure you install the modding API, apart from that just get what mods you want

[fathom tinsel]

what does the Cursed setting do in the Randomizer Mod?

[fathom tinsel]

thx

[cunning cloak]

it says scarab in the files and when i click on it it says it will run better if i extract the files in the folder, should i just do that

[limber egret]

You need to extract it, yes

[hollow coral]

i tried to install modinstaller.exe and selected the folder but it said my game wasnt up to date but when i checked on steam it was

[real jacinth]

#archived-modding-help message

[cunning cloak]

when i go on scarab it says all the mods and beside it, it says enabled? and installed? so now what do i do?

ik im asking a a lot of questions

[real jacinth]

click install on what you want

[prisma thorn]

I downloaded some mods but when i enter the game and click the skin it resets to default can anyone tell me why?

[real jacinth]

#archived-modding-help message

[prisma thorn]

Whats modcommon

[real jacinth]

a library mod

[prisma thorn]

And also it works on one skin but not the others

[real jacinth]

then your issue is probably #3

[cunning cloak]

what does enemy changer do

[real jacinth]

dumps enemy sprite sheets

[hollow coral]

where do i find properties>data

im very new to this sorry

[prisma thorn]

Whats the solution to issue 3?

[real jacinth]

structure your folders correctly

[prisma thorn]

Ok

[hollow coral]

ohh thanks

[real jacinth]

part of the message you're reading

[hollow coral]

i didnt see it

[cunning cloak]

my biggest issue so far is that the ak 47 mod doesnt show up

[prisma thorn]

I did this aleready

[real jacinth]

that wasn't even replying to you

see how it's replying to mr krabs

[limber egret]

Read the readme

Unless you mean the mod itself in the installer

[prisma thorn]

Oh

[limber egret]

In which case that mod isn't available for 1.5

[cunning cloak]

im on scarab and i done the beta thing

[real jacinth]

well that's exactly wrong

lol

scarab is for 1.5

[cunning cloak]

um

[real jacinth]

the beta is 1432

you downpatched to use the current patch installer? lol

[cunning cloak]

how do i get the ak 47 mod then?

[real jacinth]

use the installers for 1432

?i

[dense shuttle]

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages.

[real jacinth]

or

#archived-modding-help message

[limber egret]

I honestly think Scarab should be removed from the pins until it has like any of the mods people want to use

It's not useful to have three different installers

Just link people to mod installer 2 for 1.4 until more 1.5 mods are available.

[vernal rain]

remove the other ones so people are incentivised to port mods more quickly

[cunning cloak]

are there any mods on modinstaller2 which give you any other weapons

[real jacinth]

yes

[cunning cloak]

any examples>

?

[real jacinth]

#archived-modding-help message

they have descriptions next to them, no?

lightbringer gives you a lance

blackmoth makes dash your weapon

[cunning cloak]

i got some now

they say installed and enabled so do i just start the game?

[real jacinth]

yes

[cunning cloak]

ok then

whenever i try to open the game it crashes did i do something wrong or something

if anyone knows

[real jacinth]

did you install the api with installer 2

[cunning cloak]

i think so

[real jacinth]

so probably not

[cunning cloak]

what is the api

[limber egret]

Screenshot both your mod installer and your main menu

It's the thing called "modding API"

[polar parcel]

Hello, when I run ModInstaller both for beta and current version the window pops up saying: Windows protecting your PC, what should I do?

[cunning cloak]

the main menu of what

[real jacinth]

more info -> run anyways

[limber egret]

Oh yeah, your game crashes

Just the mod installer and the install on Steam

[cunning cloak]

where do u install the api

[limber egret]

On the mod installer

Click it

[polar parcel]

should I extract files? cuz it says it is recommended

[limber egret]

Yes

[real jacinth]

yes

[polar parcel]

ok, ty

[cunning cloak]

i disabled the api

[real jacinth]

uninstall it, then install it again

you probably still have the 1.5 one from scarab

[cunning cloak]

i didnt install that so maybe thats y

[cunning cloak]

shall i do this now

since i deleted scarab and it still dosnt work

[real jacinth]

did you uncheck the modding api box under installed? on installer 2 yet

and then click it again when it's done to install it back

deleting scarab doesn't undo what you installed with it

[void flower]

hello can you help me with an error that appears when I install the mod the one that answers me put @void flower since I am busy to see

[real jacinth]

just post the error here

asking to ask a question is a waste of time

just ask

[void flower]

ok

[cunning cloak]

i'll do that now

[void flower]

when I open the game I get this and when it finishes loading it takes a while and closes

[cunning cloak]

it says modding API

[real jacinth]

which box

are you unchecking

installed, or disable

[cunning cloak]

[limber egret]

[real jacinth]

Did you install modding api

[cobalt ocean]

yes

[real jacinth]

Click the box by it

[cobalt ocean]

it just turns from a box to a check and still says out of date

[cunning cloak]

imma ask someone for help tommorow

[real jacinth]

Give it some time

It has to download it and then check it

[cobalt ocean]

custom knight doesnt work, clicking on these doesnt do anything

[void flower]

I do not understand, I do what they tell me, I install 1.4 but I keep getting an error

ns if it is because of something or because the google translator does not take as long as it is

[limber egret]

Check the pinned messages for how to make sure your custom Knight is set up correctly

I'm trying to install QoL

but everytime I try to do it

it comes up with this error, I'm not sure why

ping me if you can help

[mighty crow]

my mac won't let me open scarab since it's either "incomplete or damaged"

[mighty pendant]

note: I'm on the 1.4.3.2 patch and I downloaded the installer about a week ago

[last glade]

do I need to download multiplyer clint and mutiplayer server?

[tiny flame]

I've tried to uninstall various mods (Vasi, SereCore, Randomizer 3, QoL, and Benchwarp) on the modding API. While it says ive uninstalled them, every time I reopen the modding API it says they are still installed? Any idea how to fix this?
