first one
alr thx
np
for mod installer 2 it says that the modding API is out of date. what should I do?
how do i get the starbunny and smolaire skin to work on 1.4.3.2
Check the pin about using Custom Knight skins
Click the orange update square
where would that be
when click the square the download bar doesn't move and nothing changes
Then probably ignore it
it wont let me download anything else though
rather it wont let me enable anything else
nvm i fixed it
I'm on mac, and I don't have a Hollow_knight (files) thing to select. I'm using XBrutusX's tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i0XNpM_QRo)
in this video i will show you how you can install mods for hollow knight on a Windows and/or Mac os Computer using Mod-installer!
Free and safe
Link to the official Hollow Knight discord sever: https://discord.com/invite/hollowknight
link to the mod Summaries: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cz5tcggpGofrBcM90XyTkMWjMelDHzugvQM6HpB13Ew/edit...
hi
can anyone help me set up the multiplayer mod i downloaded everything and it nobody shows up
or like a video that can help
Is the enemy health bar mod updated to 1.5 yet?
There's a video in the pins, 4th one iirc
If it's on scarab then yea, the first message should have a list of mods on scarab
kk
If you're asking for the mods folder location on mac, it's \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\Mods\
hey yall
i got a new pc
and was tryina get mod installer here
but the file location is slightly different than it was on my old laptop
over there it went into steam library
but i dont have one of those on here
and when i tried to use modinstaller and the mods nothing worked so
anyone know whats goin on?
Thank you, but no, I've just installed Scarab, and I don't have the file that i'm supposed to set the path to.
You don't have the hollow knight folder?
I have the folder, and I can see my saves in the folder, but the tutorial I used said to set the path to something called "Hollow_knight (files)" and I don't think I have it...
-
Go to your steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse > check the file pathing. This'll ensure you've pathed the installer to the right spot, if it is somehow the wrong path, (If you're using Mi1), select the "Change default install path". (If you're using mi2/scarab) reset your installer with these instructions, and it'll ask you again #archived-modding-help message
-
There's several reasons mods might not be working, can you elaborate please? Does the installer work? Does the installer give you any error? Does the game start? Does anything show up in game (top left corner of the main menu)? If not, when you open the options menu is there a mods tab?
the installer works fine, lets me add mods, its just when i get in game nothing happens
like its just base game
im using the correct beta aswell
That shouldn't be what it's called. If I understand right, you're looking for where to path the mod installer too, correct? If so then you're looking for the folder called Hollow Knight, it should contain the Hollow_knight.app file, tho that might not appear if you look for it using the installer. If you wanna know the exact right place, then: Go to your steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse > the folder this puts you in is the exact one you need to path the installer too
just checked, it is the correct path
If you open the options menu is there a mods tab?
in-game
no
i used the same steps to install it here as i did on my old laptop
And on the installer, if you search for "modding api" is it installed and enabled?
the only thing thats different is i noticed the pathing on the laptop was a bit different when i looked
lemme look
okay i just looked and it says out of date
i got the file for modinstaller from this server though
well its modinstaller 2
Click the orange box
I know where the path is, and I think I was a little bit confused, so forget everything I've said up until now lol.
done
that was very simple lol that was my bad i mustve missed it before
I have the path you mentioned, but when I put it into Scarab, it gives me "Invalid Hollow Knight app!
Missing Managed folder or Assembly-CSharp!" though I looked inside, and there is a Managed folder...
yea its working now
thank you :)
ping
Did you set it to the Hollow Knight folder, and not the app?
It only lets me select .app files
k
Eugh, I wish I had a mac so Icould actually test to help with these things
At least on windows you should just select the folder
hmm
I didn't think mac was different
how do i download the hk gun mod? does it work on apple?
Oh well. Thank you for your time
ive never downloaded a mod before
?pins look at the 3rd pin, download the mod installer, get "Hollow Point"
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
kk
does switching to 1.4.3.2 clear my data?
No
it worked!!
im not sure how to install hollowpoint now though
when i clicked enabled and installed then joined the game nothing happened
In the top left of the main menu is there anything there?
lemme check one sec
nope
If you open the options menu, is there a mods tab?
nah
Do you have modinstaller 1 or 2?
2
Then look for "Modding API" on the mod list, and make sure it's installed and enabled
Then try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the third pinned message
anyone know how to get skins for the customknight mod?
ty
do mods work for the humblebundle drm free version? (1.5.68)
A friend tried using Scarab but it just crashes the game on start
That's not the most current game version, so I assume not
ah, thank you
excuse me i have a question
a friend of mine needs some help getting their mod installer to start, they're on mac. They followed everything correctly up to the opening scarab but then it says that it quit unexpectedly. we've been looking for some remedy in the server search but haven't found any, some help would be nice
They need to take Scarab app out of the Archive.
So, take the file they downloaded, and double-click it (it should open a folder).
Drag the app inside onto the desktop.
Double-click that app
If that app doesn't work, then they may need to right-click, and select "show contents", which will open more folders, and then they can navigate in until they find another app that's inside of it. Then drag that out onto the desktop, and double-click it.
hi i am the friend
i tried doing the steps and this is whaat i got
in my privacy settings i have it enabled to the "apps from identified developers" option too
go to security in settings and press the open anyway button that should be there
it was opened like that but it closed immediately afterward saying that the application quit unexpectedly
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
tbh i have no clue I just managed to get scarab working myself
would the modding api work by any chance (if scarab and the mod installer arent the same thing that is)
and if it does where can i get it
you should be able to find that on the modding google drive and dont ask me how to find it
no its we've got it pulled up
how did you get yours to work if you dont mind me asking, like did you run into any problems like how we are now
I was struggling for a while with modinstaller not opening but today i downloaded scarab and it just worked sry for not being helpful :/
no its ok youre helping if anything by telling us
if hk itself isnt launching you could try verifiying file integrity
one second im gonna have her start it up just to double check
yeah no the game runs perfectly fine
so what exactly happens when you try to open scarab?
This I assume
yup pretty much
what happens if you go to security through settings and press open anyway?
when i open it'll say "cant open cuz it's from an unidentified file" no matter what
still doesnt
if i click open anyway and then open it will say "_ quit undexpectedly"
try re-installing scarab?
ye but it crashes after opening i think
ok i opened it the first time it didnt work after redownloading
then i dragged both the scarab files out to the desktop
and now it says it's damaged/incomplete
it also looks like this now
i would just keep it in downloads and open it from there, does that work?
shall i redownload it again?
actually i dont think that would change anything
but how did it split into two files
been attempting to follow this guide btw https://geroyuni.notion.site/geroyuni/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
Before you redownload, delete the existing folder, then try running rm ~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json in terminal
the Scarab terminal?
No
How multiplayer mod works. Will we have shared items? And skills
wait so you took out the scarab file from inside the app?
Don't think so
yes
why
also what existing folder? which one?
.
if i open the Scarab exec it just opens a bunch of code whatsoever
like the terminal
ye for some reason the first time i opened it it went to terminal but i tried again and it opened the app? idk
for me it opened fine when inside the macos folder but taking it out caused it to not work
so i would try putting it back into the macos folder and see if that works
anyways it was my bedtime 2 and a half hours ago
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
:/
are you sure you didn't delete any files?
no i dont delete any
try redownloading, and make sure you have the mac version if you have mac and not the linux version
i thought 56 made it so it doesn't require any other files?
56?
i have no idea how to fix this sorry
:(
56
it's ok
do u know where do download the modding api tho
we cant find it in the google drive
idk if 56 wants to be pinged with scarab problems
isn't on this server anymore
''enemy position and save progress are not synced between players currently''
https://github.com/hk-modding/api/releases i guess thats it
Download the unix one, unzip it, open the folders till you find the "Assembly-CSharp" dll files, go to your game files, follow this path: \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\ move the assembly-csharp files into the managed folder, replace any existing ones, done
does hollow knight multiplayer, not offer boss sync?
It does not, pretty sure it's being worked on tho
aight
The custom knight mod has stopped working for me, I go into the pause menu click the one I want to select and it just vanishes, can someone pls help
I had modcommon turned off, thank you
the only things are synced, as far as i'm aware, players' positions
ok wait one more question
im sorry i dont wanna take up too much of you guy's time
the modding api is installed the problem is that we dont know how to drag and drop the files in the right places or what to mix them into if that makes sense
the unix and multiplayer files are downloaded and everything just dont know where to put them and what to do with the multiplayer one however when replacing the 2 dll files in the unix the game will crash on before start up
What unix files? and by multiplayer files I assume you mean "HKMP.dll", that should go in a folder called "Mods" inside the managed folder, atleast I think. Haven't actually used scarab yet
the unix files being the managed folder its self being inside the hollow_knight_data folder
in the mods folder the HKMP.dll is in there
is there anything we need to do with the HKMP-Master folder on github or is that a waste of space
my hollow knight had all my saves disappear and the modding wasn't working. i got the saves to show up again but the mods still aren't working. any idea on how to fix it?
Launch the installer again, reinstall the api if you're using mi2, then do this
#archived-modding-help message
It sounds like you put things in the wrong places, like the whole folders instead of the assembly csharp files. Mac shouldn't have a hollow_knight_Data folder unless it's the one you downloaded for the api
no it was just csharp files and the mods folder, however when we started the game up it crashed immediately before the window even opened
Are you on the latest version of the game?
That's need for some mods but the game shouldn't crash without it
oh alright
I'd suggest using steams "verify integrity" option and then redownloading and installing the api. If you want I can walk you through it step by step
thank you
no its ok, thats fine thank you for helping though
hi guys, is there a way to install modinstaller in hollow knight GOG version?
Yes
Same as steam, just run the installer
it says invalid path, what should i do?
Where did you path it to?
Are you pathing it to your hollow knight files?
pretty sure... yes
oh, wait... i though it was the full folder
Mmm that looks right
yeah... I saw a lot of people with the same problem searching the solution in some forums...
maybe there is not a thing in the GOG version?
GOG definitely does work
that is good to read
1.5 modinstaller, right?
By the looks of it mi1
because what you have is the 1.5 version of the game, so either switch to the 1.4.3.2 beta branch or use the 1.5 mod installer
oh, ok letme see
the "scarab" one right?
scarab is the 1.5 modinstaller, yes
so the scarab needs to stay open while im running the game?
Nope
It can be
But don't try and install mods while the game is open
im here, what i need to do now?
That's all, just download whatever you want
Custom Knight, but it isn't on 1.5 quite yet.
๐ฆ
If you really want skins, you'd have to go back to version 1.4.3.2 and use a different mod installer. Instructions for doing that and the skins/a tutorial for installing them are in the pinned messages
Three other option is to wait until next week when it should hopefully be ready
ohhh I found that! thanks!
dammit, should i wait???
probably yes?
If you want
It's entirely up to you.
The two versions have different mods, if there's others you want you can choose based on that
If you're comfortable downpatching and then redoing your mods, you can get it now. If you're not, then waiting seems best.
yeah, understood
i really wanted to try the skins
but I prefer to wait
thank u so much guys
hey, how do you use the multiplayer mod? looking to play with some friends and im not sure how to install it and how it works
To install it, check the first/second pinned message and get "Scarab" the mod installer, then run it and install "HKMP" then follow the instructions here #archived-modding-help message
is skins available on scarab?
Not yet
Where is hollow knight mod installer

wherer
Literally the first pinned message
do it will work in GOG hollow knight
pretty sure
Yes
I did all the above steps but it keeps crashing whenever I launch
How do I fix this
Which mod installer did you get, and which version of the game are you on
When will randomizer be ported to 1.5?
afaik work is being done on that currently
Ok, thanks
Oh wait, is the installer crashing or the game?
ok so the icons to change skins of the custom knight mod are not working
it only appears the name of the folder
That's normal
The preview banner was removed because it caused performance issues
how i will unlock every single item by modding
Debug mod
You can do that
Yeah it Lets you get all charms
For grimmchild it specifically lets you pick what level/carefree
Yep
what to do?
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
Have you followed the instructions in the third pinned message?
<@&328354344313421825> Can we change the description of this channel to link to Scarab?
i look in the pin about custome nights and went to the drive and they were there but they didnt work
There is a pinned message explaining why it might not work
witch one
The fifth one
it says couldn't locate hollow knight installation folder when i try to download it idk what to do abt it
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
steam
Read the third pinned message
well i downloaded the mod installer and some mods but now out of nowhere the language is hella weird and i cant understand anything
how do i fix it?
That's art mods
That's a very generic question
Do you have any mods installed? Have you got any soul?
i installed the modinstaller 2, added the mods i want to play
but when i open the game, i see a small screen loading for a second, and then a black screen fills my screen for a second or 2
and then the game shuts itself down
I tried all the stuff in the fifth pin for the skins and it still doesnโt work

?pins third pinned message
Send a screenshot of inside your skin folder including the address bar.
the third message is for the 1st modinstaller tho? i have the 2nd installed, and it doesnt give the message mentiond in the pin
the pale prince zote grimm night work
pure vessel
the game, when i launch it
It is for both mod installer 1 and 2, but not Scarab
i see, but still, the problem i have is not that the mod installer isnt working, it is
but when it starts up the game, the game shuts down almost instantly with no reason given
uhhhh dont think so?
I need the inside of the folder so we can see the images on screen, please
Witch one
Then your two options are:
- Do the things in the third message.
- Use Scarab instead.
Any of the ones that isn't working
i just set it to 1.4 thing in steam, ill see if it works now once the game has 'updated'
Once it has finished, open it to check it's on the correct patch. After that you'll need to open your mod installer again.
@limber egret
See the third item in the list of "Why your skins might not work"
(You have an extra folder where it shouldn't be)
oh okay gimmie a sec
hey someone say how i will unlock every map in the hollow knight by modding
I'm afraid that mod does not yet exist, but I know somebody is working on one

the 1,4,3,2 mod instal isnt working anymore
depends on what you want

just wondering if anyone happens to know
or are there any other mods that are cool to play with according to you guys?

i instaled the 1.4.3.2 instaler 2 and its not working

it'll add them to the menu
you're going to have to actually give details if you want help
saying "it not working" over and over is going to get you nowhere
i have it installed and i can open it and install things but when i go to play it doesn't work
meaning what
the mods don't run i have costume knight installed but when i go to play its not working and you know how it normally say at the top left what mods are installed it says nothing

MoreSaves doesn't usually mess with CK UI, but it can depending on their resolution.
That being said, it doesn't matter in 1.5, so w/e
Could you screenshot the pause menu and the folder the png files are in (include the path in this message)
Did you install CustomKnight and the ModdingApi in the mod installer

@pallid geyser

Hi, im trying to set things up to practice for a noHit run, so far I installed some mods with mod installer (debug, benchwarp and binds) and I have some problems. One of them is this mod activated:
The other thing is that I cant manage to get a bigger font, and I barely read the options, but that is not that big of a problem
I don't understand what you're asking
one of the problems is that you installed bindings?
oops, I thought it was to bind keys, hahaha that makes sense
Sorry 2nd language problems
What do I do after this? I just downloaded the current mod installer 2 for mac book.
I see now nvm
reload
ok
turned the mod off and on and it worked , thank you
did you read the pins
yes
im using the modding api and not mod installer can someone send the Randomizer Mod that is from the Mod Installer i cant seem to get the one from the google drive page to work
just use the installer
i cant
why
im on a macbook and it just wont let me get it
ik
ive tried it
i just download them manually
but the randomizer mod from the google drive page isnt working
what was the issue opening the installer
it opens for a second and then closes
ive gone over this with RiverRobot and you before
and it just didnt work
no matter what fixes
try this: put on desktop, right click and open package contents then open the application file named modinstaller
so i just download them manually
what is the latest ver of the installer?
already have done that on multiple occasions it just doesnt work
thx
np
how do I get the newest version of the randomiser mod? I currently have a version where swim isn't randomised
oh nvm, i think i have the old installer
im wrong again, so help pls if ppl know
o h, its in beta still
okies, ignore me XD
I cannot for the life of me get the enemy randomizer to work through modinstaller, any advice?
other randos and mods work fine, no clue what's wrong
it lets me access the rando in the menu and it says it's active, but enemies remain the same
You can download it from the pins of #randomizer
Is there a button that says "[Load Enemy Randomizer]" in the upper left of the title screen?
OHHHH MY GOD I thought that was a loading thing Iโm a goof thank you
Get the one from the pins of #randomizer, also rando 3 has a lot of dependencies. Qol, Vasi, Serecore, ModCommon, and Benchwarp I believe
ok thank you
do custom knight skins work on multyplayer?
with hkmp you can
hkmp has it's own system of skins
So i used the debug mod to grind for geo. I gave myself all charms and now even after switching back to the base game with no mods on I still have all the charms even tho I did not have them before the mod is there a way I can fix this? I put on void heart and it is taking up all my notches and I havent even finished the game yet and would like too without restarting the whole thing on a new save
There is now no reason for me to go to the hive at all unless i want to fight the boss and I havent even done the path of pain yet
Most debug changes effect the regular game, you can try loading an earlier backup but it's possible it didn't save early enough. Your other choice is save editing most the charms to unowned. And if your goal was to grind for geo why didn't you just cheat in the geo, and why did you even need to if you're that early?
I was going for the unbreakable charms
How would I go about loading a backup if I can at all?
I'm new to modding and those 2 events aren't that early all i have left to do in the is the HK, NKG and the Pantheons
Wait how many charms is it, cuz save editing would probably be easier and loading a backup probably wouldn't work
The only charms I didn't have were Hive blood, the Kings soul, and carefree melody.
I was grinding to get unbreakable strength
oh... well here's the website to save edit, can also use the qol mod https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/. But also, you can use debug to get rid of the last 2, and you can just go to the hive before using hiveblood
Ok I'll check those out and chime in if i have anymore questions. Thank ya kindly
whats the current patch that the modinstaller.exe works on, and how do i change it?

Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
The save files
Are you on windows?
yes
In the window that opened that wants you to select a file, click on the empty space of the top bar, the one that shows the file pathing, and type in "%appdata%' then click enter
on steam or on my computer
In the thing that opened when you clicked "Select file" on that website
ok it says no items match your seach
you cant open useing this location useing this program please try a different location
is what it says
Then instead press windows + R and paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ then click ok
The userx.dat files are your save files drag the simplest one onto your desktop and then use the website to select it off your desktop
so I'm trying to download the new mod manager and whenever I try to load up the version I downloaded and it tries to give me the browse window for the game file
it just instantly closes
Ok that worked as well
is it possible that it's the version I downloaded?
Just got back to the right update for the installer, and my saves all look like this. Any advice?
pins
^
gotcha
That wasn't for you, I don't know your problem. I guess try redownloading
Ready for the next step
Use ctrl + F to find the values you needa change
turn this to false
and gotcharm 40 and 36 to false, also "Royalcharmstate" to 0
also "grimmchildlevel"
ok if i had on half of the king soul do i put royal at 2?
1
download
ok anything after that?
Put the new save file back where you got it
I may have encountered a new error, I think. I'm attaching the other needed files now, according to the pinned comments
@grave slate
Get vasi
I checked the pins and had SereCore Installed, but It didn't fix it
and I checked about Vasi, and thats already installed too
You're certain vasi is installed and enabled?
yes
Go to where you got the modlog, and delete the "Qol.globalsettings.json" file, and it's backup
every thing is fixed thank you i can continue my modded playthrough
glad i could help!
anyone know how to do mods w/ microsft hollow knight if not its fine
microsft store
You can't. There is a method to do so with the xbox gamepass version that may work for microsoft store, but I've got no clue. And the method isn't really well tested so you wouldn't get much help. #archived-modding-help message
thanks anyway
Not sure if this technically counts as a "modding" question, but I'm curious-- is there a way to have different versions of the game point to different save folders? So that when I boot up my 1.2.2.1 executable, for example, it won't point to the same saves used by the Steam latest patch version.
Unfortunately not
At best you could do some manual file editing and backups to quickly change sets of saves, like moresaves mod but manually
So would I just want to have separate backup folders and swap out the saves, if I want more than 4?
Yep pretty much
I'm using steam on mac, Scarab asks me for my hollow knight app path, when I input it, it gives me "Invalid Hollow Knight app!
Missing Managed folder or Assembly-CSharp!""
Ok so I can still get more, it's just not as seamless. Thanks!
Hey again, can you screenshot where you're selecting it?
having some problems with indie crossover and some buffed bosses
all of them not working in hog
are you in a godseeker save
godseeker
i just....
i just asked you that
and you said no
godseeker doesn't work with boss mods
yes
This is official hollow knight discord server and you're here asking for help with a copy you got through piracy depriving the developer of the money which they deserve, imagine if hollow knight never got a sequel because the first game didn't make enough money
how do i use skins with scarab??
how do i use skins then lol
downpatch to 1432 and use modinstaller
Read the third pinned message
whenever i try using modinstaller it doesnt let me play the game, i use 1432, it just putsall my saves in infinite loading and makes it unplayable
There's a pin for that
@sullen plume
i just did all that and it lets me play but skins dont work
in what way?
skins dont show up when in the pause menu
Are mods showing up in the top left of the main/pause menu? Do you have custom knight? Did you put any skins in?
yes, i have skins in and they arent showing up
i think i fixed it, i rebooted the game and it seems to be working now
hey, wondering if downpatching fucks up your exsisting save files or is it good as long as i dont touch my old save files
depends on how far you downpatch
if i just go down to 1.4
ok, nothing goes corupt or anyting stupid?
no
kk thx
hey im new to the modding stuff, i got the mod installer fine but im curious if there is a spot where it lists all the mods on the installer and what they doi
bc this isnt very clear to me
in the pins
each mod also has a readme
and if using installer 2 or scarab, a short description by the name
hey,
I have absolutely no clue what im doing in terms of modding.
the only beta i seem to be able to be able to access is 1.4.3.2 so what installer do i get?

sorry i was being dumb
wtf was that?
scam, dw about it
ait
I'm trying Enemy Randomizer again and I keep dying in one hit for no reason
I don't know why
What other mods do you have
I mean you need to be specific
Benchwarp, Debug, and Quality of Life. . .
Elderbug God, Enemy Randomizer, Hkmote, and Additional Maps.
I believe Elderbug God does something like this
The mod does multiple things
everytime i try to open hollow knight after running the modinstaller hollow knight crashes what do i do
just customknight
It's elderbug god
Have you downpatched?
Are you on 1.4.3.2
Does it tell you/do you see anything before or after it crashes
ok
hey there, it might be a redundant question but i was wondering if there was a way to get customknight for scarab?
will i have to do that every time?
No
Yes
damn
Custom Knight is not yet updated to 1.5, but when it is done it will be added to the installer
1.5 is the latest patch.
You can access it by opting out of the beta and updating your game again
This will require you to download scarab and delete all your old mods
Yes
1.5 adds like nothing so u good
okay
If you're already on 1.4 and using mods I would recommend sticking with it for now
1.5 only has the same but fewer mods at this point
Sure, here ya go!
Once we get new/updated mods it will be worth updating again
jupp
ok
Mm, are you sure you're in the right location?
Yes: /Users/finn/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app
Welp, I've got no clue then. Sorry
And I found the mentioned "Managed" folder btw
Can someone help me downgrade hollow knight, it keeps on making errors

hey, I want to install some neat little skins for hollow knight, but I'm afraid it'll stop acheivements. does it?
No
alright, thanks
@native ice everything is fixed but what do I put grimchildlevel at? I put it to 3 and it took the charm away then when i put it back to 5 nothing change it is still gone
Change "GotCharm_40" to true
Ok thank you for your help!!
How can I get a artist mod
Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're talking about?
O I mean how can I get a artist role
I dont have my half of the king soul. Do i just go bqck to the queen?
Uh, if you mean a server role. There's not one afaik, just art staff. Also this is the wrong channel, you want #art-discussion
Do you mean you have the wrong half or do you mean you don't have it at all
Equip and unequip every charm you have
One of your charms is usually taking them up.
Not sure why this happens.
ok i did and that is fixed but how do i get the half a kings soul im missing
cause i did have the half from the white lady
Does updated benchwarp mod change the โportable benchโ to just be a respawn point?
By that I mean when you die
Not hazard respawn
Huh, weird. For me it was acting like when you wake up from dream world
I don't understand what that means
You mean in the new one?
It's setting a respawn point but not actually setting a bench?
Yes.
Is this with Benchwarp in scarab or on 1.4 still?
1.4
Unless there's been an update in the past 7 days, this is not regular behaviour
I was playing randomized notches and masks
It should just deploy a bench that can be used as normal.
You're definitely not warping to your start point?
If you go into the settings what type of bench do you have selected?
Also you mean bench style right?
Iโll look into it tomorrow, itโs 10:30pm
How do I join people in multiplayer?
Make sure you have gotcharm_36 to true. I shoulda checked if you had the charms originally
ok so change that to true and ill have the white fragment thanks
But how do I do it for 1.4? I don't want to update it back to 1.5 since it took almost a day to downgrade it.
Same thing
Also, downpatching is like 5 clicks what...
for steam it for some reason took nearly a day to download the downgraded version
is there a invincible mod in mod manager?
You mean to make the knight invisible?
invincible*
Oh
Debug mod has that
Press pause and use your mouse to access the menus. You can scroll through the box just to the right of centre by clicking the page numbers, then click one of the glowing circles to assign a shortcut. Be careful not to assign anything to your mouse button

the modinstaller requires the most recent stable version to run. How do I update or downgrade the hollow knight?

I suggest getting Scarab instead
thanks
how to use item changer
It doesn't do anything on its own
heyy, sorry this may seem like a noob question, but any idea where to download modcommon? I can't seem to find it in the pinned messages
It's on the installer
That's easy mod
i was just messing around
I believe the only fixes are
- Disabling the "NoShade" feature
- Disabling the whole mod
- There's one mod that'll place you in dirtmouth every time you die, instead of there
hey
i have a question
i got scarab but when i open it it just closes itself
cause im trying to get the debug mod working
wait
i think i got it working
Hey, Wasn't there a mod info google doc with all the mods from modInstaller?
In the pins
Click box
click the orange box
ty
that's all
Bruh its still not doing anything
not modded at all
idk what to do
i have custom knight installed and thats it
You're using the wrong installer for your version
what do i use then
