Can you screenshot your pause menu in-game?
I don't understand 1.5 mods yet

I need help! when i download the installer i got a message that says some thing about the wrong version?

hey can someone help me
so basically when i have my mods on it doesnt let me play hollow knight but when I play without it works
can you explain the problem?
so when I turn on mods it basically just doesnt show my save files and it doesnt let me start a new one
^
Does anyone know if Lightbringer is updated to the current version? I'm not seeing it on the Scarab installer and couldn't find anything online past 2018 lmao
It's not yet
Damn, alright thanks!
If you want to use it you'd have to downpatch (third pinned message) and use mi1/mi2
True, thanks, I think imma just wait it out and maybe do GlassSoul instead for now
Hi noob to modding here, I was just wondering if there is a way to uninstall modinstaller 2 from my game files
What do I need to delete
Modinstaller 2 is just a program, if you want to uninstall mods, use steams verify game integrity option and you're good
Verifying the game files will remove the modding api which makes all the other mods not work and makes it vanilla. If you want to remove all traces of mods for whatever reason, you could delete the mods folder entirely
Thanks!
sorry if this is a stupid question but how do the pure vessel skin
Get the customkngiht mod
I know that, I already have it but where do i get the files
The pins, 5th message has 2 drives and a tutorial. Pv should be on one
I have no Idea what got is so I will get it on steam
gog is just a platform like steam
I started a new file after setting the values to false but it still doesnt work
what should i try now
Where do I find the ReadMe file for hollowpoint?

Is anyone around that could help me get the 1.5 installer working? I'm a bit new to modding
hold up, i might have it
mmmm a question does the modinstaller not allow mods to be installed if it is not downloaded from steam?
You can mod steam and gog
You can’t mod a pirated version if that is what you are asking
I don't have money to buy the game and I downloaded it from YouTube
ok gracias
Good job talking about pirating hk on it’s server…
:,u What do you want me to steal to buy it?
Don’t get it until you legitimately can
Hi guys, can someone direct me to instructions for installing "modcommon?" I see it listed as the first step to try if custom knight skins aren't working correctly so I wanted to install it/set it up, but I couldn't find documentation
ah, gotcha. Thanks!
One question is that it is not something devido but how can I put the life indicator mod to the pirate game is that I do not have money to buy it
Help, I had previously pirated hollow knight, but i felt bad and got it on steam. I want to install mods on it but the mod file destination is still on the pirated hollow knight, and I dont know how to change that. How do I do that?
sry i pirated it, i was broke at the time, but i wanted to support the devs cause it was such a good game so i got it on steam now
Umm I did that but now it nothings happening and when i click view mods the thing closes and nothing else happens
- Uh, "view mods"? Do you mean "Open mods"?
- Was the installer closed when you followed those instructions?
Open mods opens the mods folder
im trying to opt into the beta
just for manually installing mods
oh ok
Resetting the installer makes it so it should ask you "Is this where your game files are?"
it doesnt
i tried all 3 methods, but i couldn't find the folders, and the automatic thing couldnt either
it seems like the folders are gone but its not registering that
Windows/mac/linux
windows 10
Press Windows + R on your keyboard, type in %appdata% and click ok
Scroll down, do you see a folder called "HKModInstaller"?
delete it
did that
now what?
OH YES NOW IT WORKED!
ok it worked but when i launcehd it a little hollow knigth face apeared, a loading bar got to like a 3rd of the way through, then the game crashed.
What mod mate the gruz mother pink?
please help
lightbringer
Wrong game version for the installer you have
Ok! I finally got most of it to work, but my friend and i are having trouble playing the multiplayer mod. I have the client and server, he just has the clientt. how do we do this?
Use hkmp instead
what is that
Does anyone know how to mod on Linux?
Some people have to because there are Linux versions of the mod installers
I've got a bunch of mods downloaded, and I can provide a list.
But one of them is causing me not to gain lifeblood during the 5th pantheon.
Does anyone know which one it might be?
are you on 1.4.3.2?
yes
that's why
do i need to go back to 1.5?
which mods?
scarab is the 1.5 installer so yes
ok
I have a feeling I’m never going to figure out Linux mods
ok, now when I launch it no mods apear at all
open the options menu, is there a mods tab
try this
#archived-modding-help message
thats what it seems like. how do i disable modinstaller?
Just don't run it?
How do you get custom knight to work?
^
I put the skin in the correct folder
im not, but when i opend the game modinstaller crashes it for me. how DO i not run it
If your game is in 1.5, and it worked once, then it's not working, then that's probably not the fault of mod installer being there, unless you opened it recently
i did open it.
ok how can i undo that
If you're using 1.5 mods, don't open mod installer
verify the game integrity and run scarab again
- When you open scarab, does it say "Disable API" in the bottom left
- if it says "Enable API" click that
- if it says "disable api" try the steps here
#archived-modding-help message
ok
ill tell you what happens in a moment'
i did all the steps for it and nothing worked
please help
thank you for all your help so far
As of right now, I got...
- Benchwarp
- Bindings
- Custom Knight
- Debug Mod
- Easier Pantheon Practice
- Enemy Randomizer
- FrogCore
- ModCommon
- QoL
- Randomizer 3 (Item or Room)
- SereCore
- SFCore
- Vasi
Try this, press Windows + R paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ and delete all the files with "globalsettings" in the name
ok...
Is it just during p5?
The save files or the game?
Haven't tried it elsewhere tbh.

You might be able to fix it by save editing, I know there's some values for that. Also I assume you already check the lifeblood room?
i have no idea where to ask this so I am going to ask it here - how exactly does one go about making a custom knight skin? Do I need any software?
I assume messing around with any of these ones could fix it, switching "blueRoomActivated" to false might allow you to dreamnail it again and update the required triggers.
Make sure "bindings" is set to 16 at least, 20 at max. And you may try changing the values of the "bound(Binding)" to false and completing it again.
@narrow cipher
Pretty sure you just need some sort of image editing/drawing software. Then the simplest way would probably be importing the knight sprite sheet and drawing over it
Also probably #modding-discussion would be a good choice to ask
Im trying to download a multiplayer mod so i can play with my friend but i cant install it i just gives me this when i run it
Sorry sorry. I'm doing other stuff and my pings don't seem to be working(?)
Alright. Though I'm curious to know what might've broke it.
Then select the install path
has anyone had the issue where they sometimes cant exit out of menus with the esc/B keys?
not necessarily modding but more relevant than in hk discussion
that was stupid i didnt work for no readon
Godhome menus?
figured it out, apparently you cant exit menus if your attack button is bound to left click
yep
im having trouble connecting to hollow night with my friend i put in the the port address and name
its not working
can someone give me the new mod installer for randomizer

Most of it says game stores/platforms, not os.
umm how is the mod called that buffs marmu?
I don't think there is one
well i have one and i dont know which one it is
i discovered it by random
sec, ill send a recording
uh, well what mods do you have installed?
if you open the pause menu
in the top left it should have a list
well see
its not in the modloader, had to go to the folder and move it manually into disabled
yep, it was godly nightmares. probably royal dreamer.
welp, looks like not only markoth gets buffed
HKMP works for 1.4.3.2 and 1.5.75.11827, just make sure you have the right version for the game version you're on
1.5 hkmp is on scarab, 1.4.3.2 there's a link in the guide
What does the enemy changer mod do
It's used for getting enemy sprites and swapping them out iirc.
The "swapper" part of Custom Knight on Scarab is probably easier to use though
What "mod installer" works best 1 or 2?
They're pretty much the same, use whichever
I see :D
how do you add masks in debug mod? I have been using the command set to add a mask but every time I do it just says attempting to add a mask
oh nvm i fixed it with save editing
If you mean the "Multiplayer client" and "multiplayer server". You can but hkmp is better in most ways
You were linked a guide on how to do exactly that earlier
Then you probably didn't read it

and these are links
depending which mods, some of them might have 1.5 versions
This should be the latest 1.4.3.2 version, tho I'm not actually certain https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP/releases/tag/v0.7.2>

how do I turn off QoL? when i go "settings - mods - QoL - off" it does not work
i have installed the gun mode for hollow knight and after a while i disabled it, but now when in game without any mods at all, i can heal extremely fast, anyone know what to do?
Maybe this can help you?
The disable API button in Scarab isn't working
Go to your install on Steam, right click it, properties, verify integrity of game files
That's how you disable the Modding API
a private skin is a skin thats not made public so you cant just download it from a publicly available gdrive like a lot of other skins. The only way to obtain these skins is by either hoping they'll make it public at some point or to ask the person that made the skin if they are willing to share it with you ( which they probably arent because uh, why would they make it private then but you get the point)

but why
do you have the right sfcore
actually
i think it's not built for api ver 63
damn.
you could try a older version of the api
or i can try and see if it has a github
doesn't seem like it
hmm should i ping the grenade or should i decompile
that probably breaks other mods right?
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
hold on lemme just decomp and hope
Yeah, i have same question with scarab
you can try to look up local files if you using steam
right click on hk in library, then properties and local files / browse local files
it's giving me some unhealth errors, but it works
lemme gib
👀
that should work with the latest api
i love how i just deleted everything that gave an error and it worked
YES, i can finally see Rick in all its glory whenever i boot up the game again.
Thank you! 
👍 have fun
does it open?
if so, then just press the check boxes for the mods
make sure you have the api installed too, and that it's not out of date
thanks man
Yeah, everything works, thanks
is there a guide to debug settings
most things (like show hitboxes) arent there by default and id rather not start guessing
a reference list to keycodes would be helpful to have too
you have the bindings tab
just click on the x/xx button to swap pages (the x's being some numbers)
thanks
what about a reference to target keycodes?
didnt know that worked thanks
So.. I have to install that github thing for currentpatch mods to work?
ye
not yet, updating such a big mod takes time
you can always still go back
with the installer for 1.4 from pin 1 and the go back method from pin 3
enemy randomizer and randomizer 3
so, now i switched to beta hk and trying to download the mods
that's it?
cuz they seem to not be installing <-<
maybe they're just slow..
wdym overlapped?
meaning upon opening modinstaller 2, it opens scarab instead
try deleting scarab? idk
nvm that, anyways
i managed to open rando2
somehow
still, they ain't downloading
did you click the checkbox next to installed?
does a blue bar appear at the bottom?
and a line appeared on the bottom,
but
never fills
like
it just doesn't.
.-.
hmm, maybe just wait? If you have slow internet it will take longer
Hey, so I'm desperately trying to figure out how to install hollowpoint, and I must be dumb or something because I can't for the life of me figure it out. Am I supposed to be downloading visual studio?
no
unless you want to change hollow point instead of using it, go to pins and get MI1 or 2 for 1.4.3.2, downpatch to 1.4.3.2 via pin 3, and get hollow point from the installer
yup, one installed
it's just i thought it would've been as fast as the others, my bad
oh, mod installer >.> Yup, I'm dumb. I got scarab.
It's on 1432, yes
okay thanks
hi. i'm rather new to HK mods & was wondering why my player data isn't showing up when i start a randomizer?

@limber egret Sorry to bother you, but i don't see any spot for spells. 🤔 maybe i'm doing something wrong?

Can someone help i installed scarab and i got the enemy hp bar mod and now my game wont launch
Is it giving an error or anything else?
There we go.
Also are you on Mac or Windows?
just like it launches and then crashes instantly after about a second
windows
my friend is trying to join me on multiplayer mod but its not working please help
Move the bottom left square further up. They're probably at the bottom of that
I tried it
HUH. Which version of playerdatatracker have you got? The one from the mod installer?
@limber egret yeah
And also which link are you at?
Can you screenshot scarab for me?
you mean the URL for the playerdata itself?
Yes, please. You might just be on an outdated or bad Tracker
nope it just loads the game u can see the hk in the corner running then just bop and it crashes
oh well
imma just uninstall the mods i cant do much
Just checking: are you on the current patch of HK?
im on 1.5
https://kaydeetee.github.io/HollowKnightRandomizerTracker2.8/Index.html
This is the one I use
What platform do you have the game on? (Where did you get it?)
ty
well u see i downloaded it on steam
its fine tho
ill just play with no mods
What do you mean?
Do you have it on steam, or don't?
My point is, are you using the steam version, that updates from steam itself?
yeah
I haven't checked the Enemy HPbar port yet, but assuming it works, then something is going on with your install.
🔹 Make sure HK and Scarab are closed.
🔹 Download this simple .bat and double-click it to run https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/890824593848299550/HKModInstaller_Reset.bat (This will clear out the installer memory)
🔹In Steam, right-click hollow knight, select properties, then go to local and click Verify Integrity. (This will scan HK for messed up files. It'll probably find between 1 and 10 files, and fix them. It takes usually about 5 minutes) When Steam is done, launch HK to verify that it gets to Main Menu (and you should have the standard
logo when it's loading), then close HK again.
🔹 Re-download Scarab: https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/download/v1.4.0.0/windows.zip (This link is to the latest Windows version)
🔹Extract the Scarab .zip, and move the folder with its contents to your desktop.
🔹In the Scarab folder, right-click Scarab.exe, and choose run as administrator.
🔸 IMPORTANT: Scarab will ask if the path it found is correct. Make sure that that IS where you have HK installed. You can check this in the same Steam screen that had "Verify Integrity", but instead of that button, you can click "Browse" to see the install location.
ok
i want to do a multi-world randomizer with a friend, but im not sure if there is any version that uses the latest version that adds cursed swim/cursed noctches and the other stuff, does anyone know if there is?(i also got 0 clue how to set them up, 1st time trying multiplayer mods)
Follow the link in the first pin of #randomizer
i got mod installer and downloaded some mods and when i clicked hollow knight this came up and the game loaded and immediately crashed, i uninstalled the mods but it still comes up with the same picture and the game crashes again
Do you want to mod version 1.4.3.2 or 1.5
- you probably got the wrong installer
- you need to Verify Integrity in steam to fix
Currently your game is 1.5 but you used a 1.4.3.2 installer on it
ohh

Hi, I'm trying to use customknight. I used the scarab 1.5 installer for my 1.5 version of the game and have downloaded a skin and put it in hollow_knight_Data -> Managed -> Mods -> CustomKnight -> Skins. When I go to change the skins in the options for mods I change to the skin I want and click apply and everything is fine but when I go into my save I am the default skin and when I go back into options it has changed back to default and the same thing happens with the swapperdemo. I tried doing fix skins but it did nothing.
You have to set the skin while in the save file
thats not how it works for the 1.5 version though, you do it through options
Yes
theres no menu in the save file
The options are in the save file too
Go to options
Then mods
Then Custom Knight
yeah and when i exit out of the pause menu it goes to default
Are you clicking "apply"?
dystop can you try restarting the game one time and re-trying ?
yeah i restarted it, problem didnt go away
yes
Close the game,
Download and run this file:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/889031834938265610/Global_Settings_Clear.bat
Then try again
ok
If that doesn't work, then please post a screenshot of the skin you're trying to use (a screenshot of the image files for it, that also shows the folder path at the top)
Yeah it worked, thanks a lot :D
@tired hazel make sure you set your patch correctly, like the pins mention. Then you can use the installer and add the mod

anyone got a mod installer?
ok thanks

@pliant lantern so when i get HK working the mod installer should have hollow point?

You will probably need to do the "if mods aren't working" steps on the third pin

does anyone have a mod download link for this?
@pliant lantern i installed the mod installer and now it wont let me open hollowknight
There's instructions in the pins.
You need to make sure that you used the correct installer for the correct version.
If you have the correct one and it's not working, then you'll need to do the "if mods still aren't working" steps.
k thx
@pliant lantern it broke my hollow knight
ive deleted the intaller and it stillwont let me open it
when i open hollow knight in steam a white window shows up with ghost's head on it and i red warning sighn on it and then closes
Did you down patch?
whats that?
Then you did not do as dwarfroot said
They first pin of the mod installer has multiple installers for different patches
You either need to use the one for 1.5, the current patch, or downpatch.
You have downloaded one for an older patch
i am on windows 10 i downloaded the windows version
this one?
-Modinstaller 1 (patch 1.4.3.2, windows only): https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe
No
Current installers:
-Scarab (patch 1.5, all platforms): #archived-modding-help message
Yes
Download it, open it, you'll see Modding API and it should say "Out of date".
Update it by clicking the orange box
You should now have a modded version of hollow knight
but then how would i use my non modded version?
Right click your install on Steam, properties, verify integrity of game files.
This replaces the modding API with the regular one. You can open the installer and update it again to mod your game. This will switch you between modded and unmodded.
ok takn you
Nevermind, resolved.
Hi, i tried to install moded skins to my hk so i downloaded modinstaller with the latest version, i activated custom knight, i put a skin in the right file but when a clicked on "start" my game just didn't launch. Can anyone help me ? (Tell me in dm if you can i will probably respond in 11 hours)

there's three fixes I know of
- Disable the "NoShade" option
- Use a mod made to fix this, where you respawn directly over the dirtmouth bench each time you die/reload the save
- Uninstall the mod
thankyou
Anyone know the mod you can fight watcher knight with radiance orbs spawning?
Masochism go brrr
does enemy randomizer work on 1.5
Currently, no Randomizers have been ported to 1.5
Enemy Changer is for getting assets of enemies

Ok but if i just want to go back to vanilla (bc i'm worried about losing my save) what can i do ?
verify game integrity, or back up your save
And how can i do it ?
Right click your install in Steam, properties, verify integrity of game files
To back up your saves head to your save files and copy any file named "user1/2/3/4.dat".
Where are my save files ?

how can i get the enemy randomizer to work?
I already installed it through modinstaller
Press the "[Load Enemy Randomizer]" button in the upper left of the title screen
I don't see it?
I only see the names of the mods i have installed
is it supposed to show up when i start up the game?
That happens sometimes, open the options menu, and in the "Mods" tab, turn enemy randomizer off then back on, then restart your game
You shouldn't need to
What's sereCore?
It doesn't do anything directly (afaik), but it's required for some mods to work
do i have to load enemy randomizer every time i open the game?
yes
how am i suppose to install mods?
i tried a few times
but nothing works
i can't even open hollow knight anymore ;-;

- Just ask your question, don't ping random people please.
- Have you checked the pins?
yes
so
I can't add mods for some reason
i did what it said
in pins
i read all the pins actually
nothing worked
im using modinstaller2
Can you explain what's actually happening?
when I put the mod in the open mods folder it doesnt show up or even work
im also
doing
1432
put ur issue in 1 message bro
That's not necessary
that would take to much time so i break it up
ik but like dont put every word in a seperate message
ok anyways
- Why are you placing mods using the open mods option? Is it a mod not on the installer?
- If you search for "Modding API" on the installer, make sure it's installed, enabled, and doesn't say out of date.
- If the modding api is installed and up to date, open the game and open the options menu, then tell me if there's a "Mods" tab
Wait
Is it just the mod you're manually installing that's not working or are all the mods not working?
That doesn't answer my question
if the mod isn't in the installer use this
They're using mi2, that's not an option there
oh sorry, didnt know
the old randomizer doesn't work
ill show u what it says
and yes there is a mods tab
i checked
it wasnt there
The randomizer in Mi2 says "FAILED TO LOAD! Check ModLog.txt."
...
what
Start with that
Just make sure you have Vasi, Qol, Benchwarp, SereCore, and ModCommon
the knights
Steam or gog
It's like steam
There's a slightly complicated method to mod Xbox gamepaas version
^
You can try this if you don't want to buy the game again
- Open 2. Activate the modding api 3. Install mods
what is the modding api?
how can i download the pale king skin ?
depends
Theres one from TWP which is private which means you cant get it anymore( atleast not the full one )
Theres also one from Lime, i can give you a link to that if you want

yeah i know hom it looks
someone have any idea why whenever i play on 1.4.3.2 and click anything it asks me if i want to quit?
my game glitches when i try to put mods on, all my save files disappear when i do that
I'm trying to use a custom knight skin but my game crashes every time I open it
I'm also using mi2 if that helps
I'm kinda new to modding
did you downpatch?
What's that?
modinstaller 2 only works with 1.4.3.2
Ah, I see
Hey do yall have something that says how all of the charms interact with the hollow point mod?
Hey i installed some mods for HK and now the game wont run, what should i do?
I have the same problem as IcedInsomina, I installed some supported mods for Scarab on the latest version and for some reason the mods won't work
Yea, my whole game wont work, TT rip Hollow Knight
Oh, for me the game still works, I just don't think the modding API is activating
Huh, my whole game is offline n idk why, i have plenty of space on my pc and good wifi, i think its done this before but i don’t remember how i fixed it xD
For some reason when I disable the modding API and run the game, the game crashes; but when I enable the API and run it, the game doesn't crash but doesn't activate my mods???
Weird 👀 guess the game’s a masochist XD
I suppose so! But yeah, if anyone knows what's up, that'd be smashing👌
Yee
probably need to try uninstall/reinstall
of the api that is
The API or Scarab? Because the Scarab application I think has a built in API, it doesn't have a API mod in Scarab that you can install and enable like the other mods
lmao now im kinda scared on testing the mod installer for 1.5 because I keep reading that people are crashing XD
no
because it doesn't
idk why, if you want to play modded just buy the actual game
where tf do you live
No. Drugs are bad
the files for a cracked game are heavily modified and doesnt work with either modinstaller or scarab
Because it is
because the files are- placed- differently-
The point here is, you stole the game, and thus, you can't mod
buy the game
hollow knight is one of those games I don't pirate because of how well done it is not to mention the price is a steal like damn
You're lying, I know that
the thing is the guy just said he can't afford it
and that currency would be?
This discussion is over
in my country it costs P419 something and to me it's already a steal considering the size of the game
aaaanyway, I hope the mod will work xD
so mod installer is still at 1.4? it's the one I use
Check the pins
okay
hi, i downloaded the hk beta from this server and i cant launch it even with 7zip. when i try it says "There should be 'Hollow_Knight_Data'
folder next to the executable" and so i moved it next to that folder and nothing changed when i try to open it. here is a video showing what happens. it just didn't capture the error screen. can anyone help me?
when i open modinstaller it says this, and i have hk installed, i only have 1432. i have no clue how to fix this
what do you guys think is the best 2d animation program for making custom knights? (ping me)
i dont have hollow knight from steam can i get mods?
no
get the game on steam
actually you can mod the game if you bought it from gog
ok tested the game just now thank goodness it didn't crash XD
Move Mod Installer to Desktop, and run it as Administrator
Then you probably pointed mod installer to the wrong place
Download and double-click this:
It's clear or your installer memory, and then your can try again. Make sure you're telling it to go to the correct folder (the one that has hollow-knight.exe in it.) You can find this Finney by right clicking HK in steam, going to properties, local, then Browse.
Do you have it in Galaxy?
yep
thank you so much it worked
Then just check the pins 
If you downloaded it from anywhere other than GoG / Galaxy, it won't work though
I am trying to install the mod, but it says I need the most recent stable version. Am I missing something?
I really need help with the mod installer.
i'm havin issues with the multiplayer mod
my friend and i are joining the same ip but we cant see each other
and interact at all
its basically like singleplayer
even though i joined the ip (and the port) that he sent
Did you read the pins?
Here's a detailed guide on using HKMP: https://geroyuni.notion.site/geroyuni/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
the guide is for the 1.5 version that's on Scarab.
If you're using other 1432 mods, then you'll need to manually install the previous version of HKMP, which is on the GitHub for it. It's version number 0.7.2
i was using the ones with modinstaller 2, not hkmp but ok
or are they the same thing
this one (my friend has the server mod)
yeah
whenever i change skins on scarab two, my game freezes when i try to exit the pause menu
is it just scarab?
like is anyone else having trouble with this?
nvm i found a way
Is multiworld rando possible on Mac? I'm on PC and have a friend who wants to play on his Mac. If so is there a link to help him get set up on Mac?
It should be the same method
is there any mod that makes me use the same key in more than one bind? for example, I put so that when I press "space"
I'm going to jump up and look up.
Can I stack child of light on top of lightbringer or does lightbringer add it's own spells?
anyone know a "sell all relics" mod?
It's part of randomizer
I have to ask, where?
sorry, but im not sure which mod the text comes from and how to disable it?
this is debug mod and if you wanna hide the texts just press fn and f1
thx
when trying to install the mod installer it's telling me "This installer requires the most stable version to run. Please update your game to the current stable patch and then try again." but steam keeps my game up to date, and I checked it for updates. What should I do?
How do I enable the randomizer?
I mean, how do I make it work ingame, it is already enabled in the mod installer but I don't know how to use it
Help, I'm trying to reset the modinstaller destination on mac but i dont know where to go. I know I have to go to a folder called .config but where is that folder?
You need to download individual skins and transfer the folder to this location
I believe I am not allowed to send links but I reccomend "Team white palace" as a place where you can find a bunch of them
Also, for some reason disabling a mod will close the app
What's that hallow knight mod that adds commands / cheats to your menu?
HOLLOW knight, sorry
(nvm found it)

I have installed Modinstaller 2 on version 1.4.3.2, but when I start the games there is no modding api and mods enabled, what do I need to do?
Have you installed the Modding API on the mod installer?
yes
What other mods have you downloaded?
Head to your save files and delete anything with the name ".globalsettings.json"

i have a problem, ive installed the mod installer but it always says, "must have newest update." the problem is where ever i go it doesnt give me the newest version. anybody know what to do?
Does the old multiplayer mod still work? And if not, why isn't Scarab working?
what is scarab?
what do i use for mods? mod installer or scarab
depends, if you are in 1.4 version mod installer, if you are on the latest 1.5, then use scarab
where i can install mods for 1.5?
this is 1.5?
yes
btw i didnt know multiplayer existed. how does it work can someone explain shortly?
check the pinned comments, once you install scarab for 1.5 and open it, a list of mods will appear and you can intall em there
thx
is scarab EXE safe?
Delete whatever you downloaded, download scarab from the pinned message instead
where do i click for download?
Whichever matches the operating system you're on
what about the other two things below
Ignore
Don't click them
ok, thanks!
do i need to put the files in HK folder?
thanks, now everything works
No, but you should take them out of your downloads folder and put them somewhere else like your desktop
Extract the files, then run the app
is there any list of like what each mods does?
thank you
The small triangle to the left of each mod opens a drop down
With a brief description of the mod
once you download the file what do you do?
See my message very slightly up
how i can enable mods?
Click the buttons in the mod installer
ok thanks
now if I add the 1.4.3.2 version of hk as an side app and upate hk to 1.5, will everything work fine?
how i can change skin?
is scarab 100 percent safe?
Of course
i want to play with certain mods that are not on scarab yet
something strange happened in my save
Download custom Knight
Download skins
ok, thank you for all you help, i appreciate it!
You can just downpatch to 1432 and not use 1.5 then
i did
There's no functional difference in gameplay
but where i can change it?
There is only one difference: the watcher jnights on 1.5 can perform a backwards roll
Bonfire has not been updated. The person who made it said they weren't interesting because they don't like the mod.
can i use modloader instead of scarab
Pause -> options -> mods -> custom Knight
ok
Yes. There are instructions in the pins for how to downpatch and with links to mod installer 2
i need to show you something guys .-.
go to general
2
its strange
pls go to general 2
wait
its strange
i think custom knight generates it
strange
Just say what it is you don't need to ask permission
Screenshots are better because then they don't have to be done live
Scarab sucks i hope They bring more mods back
when i install some mods with scarab and try to run the game, it gives me this error screen
Why did They have to change something that was working fine :/
how do you get a gun with modinstaller 1
Heys lads
Umm so i downloaded hollowpoint
And since then i can't focus my soul (heal)
Even now that i uninstalled it
Does any other mod do that
Or is that actually hollowpoint
the game literally updated, you need to wait for mod authors to update their mods to the current version
read the read me

ok so basically
once you deal enough damage without getting hit you get healed
um i just wanna make sure, is this download safe: https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/latest
im just a bit scared of viruses after i had one
isn't it pinned here
then why wouldn't it be safe
just wanna make sure

Issue is, I swapped to 1.4.3.2 beta already, still having issues for some reason
Are you using scarab?
No, was using "Modinstaller 2," seems like it might be fixed? Let me double check
no idea what changed but I guess it's working now?

The same thing happens to me, I can't solve it 😦
go into steam and put on beta
I have the pirated version, I think the modinstaller cannot be used 😒
dont pirate indie games ffs man
🏴☠️
Don't pirate Indie games
Of course you won't be able to install mods for a pirated version
Unless
Ping a mod for help, and tell them your predicament, they might be able to help
Don't
trust me man ping the mods asking how to install mods for a pirated game @wind spade
i'm running into a weird issue with the newer randomizer, once I exit to main menu and go back into a save, things unrandomize. I tried it with 2 different saves and about ten checks. Each check was the same as base game and looked like the item they were instead of a pickupable thing
Did you launch the mod installer and maybe click "Out of date" or say yes when it asked you to update your randomizer version?
Wait
I downloaded the newer randomizer (the one where swim is an option) and put it into my mod folder, on mod installer it says its enabled. Mod installer didn't ask me anything
Join the HKSC server, linked in #randomizer pins, and get the most recent beta from there.
The one pinned here is out of date.
how would i mod it if i have hollow knight from gamepass
Alright, I'll give that a shot, thanks for the help!

You can try this, otherwise you'd have to buy the game again on steam or gog #archived-modding-help message
Thanks
do you guys know how to get hollow knight randomizer? i got the other mods but its not a part of it...
Randomizer isn't on scarab yet, if that's what you're using. You'd have to downpatch and get mi1/mi2
thank you for the help! do you know if its coming to scarb?
Pretty sure it's being worked on, it's a popular mod so it'll almost definitely be on there eventually
ok, Thank you! im using a non-Gaming laptop, so its no big deal, maybe in a year or so i will get the steam deck and use tha but for now ill just have to stick with what i got.
is there any custom knight mod for the greenpath vessel?
is there anyway to check the customknight skins before downloading?
ah the white palace ones are folders so can actually look
Pretty sure there's several "Skin showcase" videos
You can use that for the ones that don't have it
alright
What's the difference between mi1 and mi2?
I downloaded mi2 but now my skins won't work
