Mod Installer 2 is for 1.4.3.2
What were you using before?
Mi1 vs Mi2 don't change anything about how the mods themselves work.
Making a skin is unrelated to the Mod Installer overall.
What is the specific problem that you're having?
Define "change"?
Debug does let you set your various things. In most cases, it gives them. It can take away some stuff, but mostly that's just the Abilities/Spells.
oh I just wanted to know if you could practice specific fights for speedruns in Godhome using the mod, getting rid of dash, ddark and wraiths to practice greenpath hornet with base nail and base vengeful spirit, for example
Yeah. You can also make Save States.
Or save edit
I'm not sure if there's a good way to change Nail itself off the top of my head, but you definitely can set Damage Values with it
Debug on Scarab might let you change the Nail itself?
idr
Also, godhome fights are massively buffed, hp wise, compared to the normal fight.
ah I see, thanks so much

Sorry for late response, I want to start nodding and first I want to know how to make custom skins
Modding
Not nodding
it wont let me get the mod installer
Can you provide more details please
Take the atlas files you want to change and open them in a program like Krita or Glimpse (Glimpse is like GIMP but updated and better). Create a new later or duplicate the original later. Draw your new skin.
hi how can i download the 1.5 mods ?

earlier today me and my friend were doing dream shield co-op on his pc, and it was working fine. Now we are playing on mine and it is moving super fast and it is borderline impossible to control even on the slow setting. Is there any way to fix this?
anyone know whats the issue
i was told it had to do with my mods
but i get this whenever i try to revert to unmodded
this is my mods folder

How to change mod installer 2 path to game?
I want to change my mod installer 2 path to folder with 1.4.3.2, so I can have 1.5 and 1.4.3.2 at the same time
What state is your game in at the moment?
wdym
The pins have instructions on how to reset your installer.
What have you done so far? Have you downpatched yet?
i run 1.4.3.2 yes
When you open your mod installer what happens?
it just runs fine
Have you installed the Modding API yet?
yeah and it was running fine
So currently you have a modded version of hollow knight but your saves aren't showing up?
yep
This message is what you need.
thanks
But how to choose the path
Does it come up with a message that says "Is your hollow knight at [file path]" after you reset it?
no
Try this one
I instaled the mod instaler, enabled all the mods i want, but when i open hollow knight the game simply crashes
there is something i can do to fix that?
what version you are on
let me see
i think so
are you using scaraba?
im using radiance mod instaler i think
here is scarab #archived-modding-help message
Can someone send me link of the hollow knight skin…?
i have a question about the scarab thing
when i download a mod from the mod download thing does it automatically get enabled or no?
it does
or do i have to enable it somehow or press enabled on scarab
oh it gets enabled automatically?
if you want to disable unset the enabled mark
ah okay! thank you a lot
what i do now
unzip it
this is from a youtube video. it has a ton of skins
open scarb.exe
ok
i opened it
im looking at the current mods and i dont see enemy randomizer, there is a way to put it there or something?
@placid igloo randomiser is not yet on 1.5

im pretty sure that team white palace has up to date free public skins
they have skin review videos of them
do you have the mod installer
@shadow cypress
I fixed it, it had the wrong path to the game
where is it i download the mods for Scarab?
oh
i have it open but can't see anything to download them
Does the old multiplayer mod still work? And if not, why isn't Scarab working?
in th scarab.exe look for the mod you need and click the installed button right to them
okay thank you
does custom knight work on scarab already?
yes
ok
Can someone please help
can i go to 1.4.3.2 even if my pc is 64-bit?
yes
you cannot run a 64 bit on 32 bit pc
Hi. I have a macOS Big Sur (11.6) and i have installed scarab to apply mods. If I open Hollow Knight (v 1.5.75) on Steam i can´t use my PS4 controller connected via USB. If I disable API the controller works again. Can anyone help me?
I have unplugged the controller before open the game and plugged at title screen but it doesnt work
Hey- I'm using the additional maps mod, and I've found the map for Godhome next to the bench but cant find the one for White Palace anywhere.
Does anyone know where specifically it is?
It's in the king's workshop right near the end
... the 1.5 version may have it at the central bench, ihdk though
Thanks!
What exactly does the "HKHKHKHKHK" mod do?
Ok, thx.
Can you enable and disable mods mid-game
any mods that work for the microsoft store version?
Not usually, and for most, even if you can, it's not recommended. You should close HK completely to disable mods.
Hey there, trying to run the mod installer just results in it telling me to update my game to the newest stable version but Steam gives me no such thing to do, do I need to do this elsewhere?
Are you able to use the Debug mod with multiplauer
Yes
Well it wasn’t working when I tried it
It kept saying “Connection not working”
And when I turned it off it worked
That's purely coincidence
We're you connecting to a private server/host, or a public one?
Private
the mod installer asks me to get the lastest stable version, but i just downloaded the game on my new pc
(version is 1.5.75.11827)
Mod installer needs a less version
Use Scarab if you wanna use the latest or downgrade the game on steam
thanks
I have difficulties to instal mods in my HK with Scarab, what can I do?
Wdym difficulty
¿?
Like what is the problem
Sry, I dont understand
Oh, when its starting the game, it crashes
Oh
Weird
it's been a while so is there any QOL mods i should get(as a fresh player)?
AlwaysCompass
Use scarab instead
Unplug your controller, them plug it in again when you get to the main menu
<@&328354344313421825> Can we update the topic description to not have the old mod installer
? They are using Scarab
Au what point does the Radiance url get updated to where it points to?
How I do that?
Are you using a game controller to play?
ok
What version of hollow knight do you have?
1.5.68
Well, I dont pay for the game, but if you install mods with the game on steam, you can get ban, but is not very normal
You don't get banned for modding single player games
Steam bans are for modding competitive games
Oh...
imagine pirating a game and then going to the discord of the developers
Get a valid, authentic, purchased copy of the game, and then you can try modding again
ok, thanks for the help
hey lads, i would like to install the item randomizer, how do i do it?
How exactly do you install external mods using scarab because if I put it into the mod folder it doesn't register it as a mod or stops working at all.
You don't
Ok.
If it's not on scarab, it doesn't work on 1.5
ok thanks
hey i'd like to get into Tas for HK, do you guys know where to start?
i can't seem to be able to disable swapper for custom knight... any help?
whenever i disable it and quit it is enabled when i restart
what is the keyboard keys i have to tap to open the debug mode on mac ?
anyone help me unmod my game please?
thanks 😄
Does the old multiplayer mod still work? And if not, why isn't Scarab working?
whenever i try to launch scarab, nothing happens, and the game is vanilla
Right click your game in Steam -> Properties -> find "verify integrity of game files" -> done
ok ty

hi, i can't turn fullscreen off because somehow the mod api makes it so i can't ever select the fullscreen option? can i solve this without uninstalling and installing again?
Alt+tab? Also, how are you so sure it’s the modding api?
alt+enter
well it just happens if i have it, doesn't happen if i just have the default game

does anybody have the pale king skin and the pure vessel one ?
excuse me, but does anyone have the fool skin? or does anyone know how to find it? if someone could help me out that'd awesome 
does anyone know some good modding starter gide for hollow kight
Is there like a page of explanations for some of these mods in the mod installer bc some of these are kinda undescriptive like job change?
The HK Modding Discord has a full guide.
You can get to it from my status of you want.
I think there's also a general write-up in the Connection of ReadMes doc in the pins. It has a general FAQ at least.
Thanks
SOMEONE HELP ME
IM DYING FROM THIS
My mods just dont work
I put them on and they just make it so I can't even play hollow knight with them
What exactly did you do and what happens
Hey could someone give me the link to the latest mod installer?
or help me install it cause I tried the one in pins and it didnt work
It says I need to update my game to the most recent stable patch but I just bought it on steam so it should be on the latest patch

aw dang i really wanted to do item randomizer, thanks though

enemy randomizer seems to not be available too
Correct
Is there any idea when they'll be supported?

oof

Pure vessel is on the google drive in the pins, and limes pale king can be downloaded here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTrFJ4kV-yo

I'm not super familiar with it yet, but it kinda looks like you downloaded scarab, installed some mods, and then tried to install the 1.4.3.2 versions of mods you wanted, while still on 1.5. Which won't work
is there a way to play multiplayer on hallow knights?
Ok so I downloaded the installer on mac and it just won't open. it crashes immediately.
Aaaaanyone gonna help out?
It does the same thing with scarab
Reeeeeeally wish someone would say something
So I was going to my Mods setting in Hollow Knight to change my skin, but it doesnt appear even though my mods are working. Does anyone know how to fix this??
Close the game, navigate to your save files, delete the "Customknight.globalsettings" files
I'm trying downgrading the game
Does it tell you anything?
Nope
Try right clicking mod installer, selecting "Show package contents", then search around for an application, if you find it move it to your desktop and run that
thanks
Thanks!
I downgraded hollow knight and now the game itself won't open
ok so does anyone know how to add skins to the customknight mod? I tried using fireborns video and got the skin files themselves downloaded but dont know how to add them to the mod
Put the folder for the skins in your custom Knight folder
Which is located in your game files under hollow knight data/managed/mods/custom Knight
I dont see a custom knight folder
I keep getting an error everytime try to install a mod for scarab
press open mods
where, in game or in the mod installer?
Have you downloaded custom Knight and opened your game yet?
I have
What error
it says customknight is running in game, I just don't know where the file is
Im new to modding and not really tech savvy so sorry lol
Im using mod manager for 1.4 if it helps
What os are you on?
Windows 10
bruh
Are you on steam?
i cant open modinstaller
Im on steam yeah
Go to your steam library > right click Hollow Knight, > properties > local files > browse > \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\Custom Knight\
bruh
i cant use mods anymore
everytime i do
it clears my saves and nothing loads
Ok I put the skins in the folder but I don’t see them pop up in game
Also for some reason I cant exit the game now like I have my controller paired and can’t pull up the menu and quit
Esc doesn’t work either
Ok wait I figured out how to leave but I still can’t get the skins to work
are you sure mods are in the correct folder and unzipped?
that should work
There is a pinned message explicitly about this issue
What's in those folders
Photos of the things it changes
There's not an extra folder?
Uhh no
which one lmao i can find it
If I go from downloads I click the folder and it goes to another folder then I open that folder and it’s images
.
I added the second folder to the custom knights folder
Oh do I just add the regular folder
I was trying to use fireborns video maybe I just got confused but he said to add the folder that just has pictures
Oh no
What is inside the folder named "Custom Knight"?
Custom knight or custom knight demon?
In the custom knight folder there’s skins, swap, and CustomKnight.dll
Inside of the skins folder is where I put the other folders for the skins
I'm not up on 1.5 so it might be different to 1.4.
I’m on 1.4
Oh right
Where did you get this custom Knight mod from then?
Because that's nothing like the one that you should have.
Mod Manager
Huh
The actual thing says mod manager for some reason my bad
Move customKnight.DLL into your mods folder
Uh it is
You said it was in your custom Knight folder?
It’s in both
There’s two custom knight folders for some reason?
Hold on
Took a long time to send sorry
Okay you need a set of files that looks like this:
In your folder called Mods:
A folder called Custom Knight
CustomKnight.dll
[Other dll files for mods like mod common etc]
Inside your custom Knight folder:
Folders with skins in them
Copy your skins from where they are into yourCustom Knight folder
Those are all the ones in my mod folder
Specifically the one with the space
That’s where they are
Oh wait ok
You can delete like everything else related to custom knight
So go into skins and delete those folders?
You need the dll in your mods folder, then a folder with skin folders in it. The second .DLL and the folder named "customknight" are bad and wrong
Gotcha
Well don't delete the skins move them, because you still want some skins I assume
Yes
Ok so delete the .dll in the custom knight folder and the other custom knight folder?
Do I delete swap too
Alright those are deleted
I’ll try it out now
It honestly sounds like you somehow got 1.5 custom knight
Because that has a new and different file structure
I think it’s cause I tried scarab lol
Right, yeah. You've still got 1.5 custom Knight
But I wanted item randomizer so I went back to a previous version and got this mod installer
I’m so bad with stuff like this
You need to get rid of the 1.5 version. You might be best off just deleting all of the custom Knight stuff and starting from scratch if this doesn't work.
I went in and it said it was running but I didn’t see the option to change my skin
How do I delete the 1.5 version
I got rid of the folder I’m guessing I go into scarab and disable the mod?
Just delete everything custom Knight related, then go into your 1.4 mod installer and install Custom Knight again
Don't open scarab at all unless you want 1.5 mods again at some point
Agh I’ll do it later this modding stuff takes so long
Well actually it might not take too long
So just delete all the folders?
Alright everything custom knight related is gone supposedly
@limber egret Sorry for the ping but I reinstalled custom knight from the 1.4 mod installer and it gave me the custom knight folder without a space?
I thought that was the bad one
after downloading a few mods i tried to launch my game and halfway through loading it crashes
did i do something wrong
Alright I’m trying this again I put the skin folder directly in the custom knight folder
If this doesn’t work idk what I’m doing wrong
I’m so confused why is the skin not showing up
So you deleted all the custom Knight stuff
Opened your mod manager (not scarab)
Clicked to install and enable custom Knight
Put skins inside your custom Knight folder
?
I believe so
Is your game closed while you are doing all of this
Yeah because when I go in game I can’t do other stuff
Good
On your main menu of hollow knight does it say custom Knight (and a bunch of other stuff) in the top left corner?
Yep
And the mod is installed I just can’t get the other skin to show up
It just shows default
Okay can you send me a screenshot of a skin folder so I can see the images and the address bar in one screenshot?
how i can use skins in the new HKMP mod?
the multiplayer
i start the server and the skin disappear
Yeah one sec
Wait maybe the problem is I need to add the folder that makes it show images not another folder
No that is not the problem
The problem is more likely you have added too many folders
But we'll figure that out now
I hope this is what you were asking for if not lmk
you have one too many folders
I see
Is there any way I can remove this folder without having to redownload the whole thing again
You have an extra one in there
Either drag them or cut and paste
Downloading them again won't help
Alright one sec
Ok so I open the regular folder and then add the folder that pops up after double clicking it?
Into the custom knight folder
I don’t think it is but not sure
How do I check that
IT WORKED
Thank you so much it’s working now
is there anywhere with a list of mac issues/fixes? Modinstaller 2 just stopped opening for me after i used it for a while
how do i update my hollow knight to the most recent stable patch
?pins You need to use Scarab instead of what you're using

ok
The pinned messages have most of the issues people run into.
You didn't have Randomiser 3 downloaded when you sent that screenshot before
Oh
But make sure you have:
Randomiser 3, QoL Benchwarp Randomapmod Serecore Vasi SFcore and Mod Common
I typed that using the auto suggestion
You downloaded item changer
That's a different thing
You don't get extra folders for most mods
Extra folders is a 1.5 thing
1.4 just adds .dll files for most mods. Custom Knight is one of the exceptions.
Oh I thought item changer was the item randomizer
Let me see if I can find it then
So does randomizer three give you the option to choose whether it’s a room or item randomizer
Yes
Alright gotcha thanks for the help, I’ll try it later and if I can’t get it to work I’ll let you know if that’s ok. Will probably be a while though.
Just post here and somebody will help even if it's not me
Alrighty
uh,
I tried opening the game and .. all of my save files are wiped / can't start a new one

Has the randomized charm notches come to the default rando mod or is it still only on beta
still only beta
thanks, any idea when that would leave beta or not really lol
I'd assume they're probably not gonna add it to a mod installer until they've updated it to 1.5 and it's on scarab
But I'm not sure
gotcha, can i download the beta from the default mod installer or do i need to import the file from somewhere else
You'd need to download it and manually install it. You can find the download in the pins of #randomizer.
Actually
I think that one might be out-dated, I think the latest one might have to be gotten from the speedrunning server
thanks so much!
Scarab doesn't get "installed".
So what do you mean?
hey mod thing says to update to the current patch and idk what to do (i am)

where is a common resource for pepole who want to make/upload/get skins?
i'm looking to make my own skin, but i don't know where i should upload it or where i can get some example skins
(i've already seen the two google drives but that seems a little jank imo)
that's the main collection of skins
the skins not on the drive need to be requested here usually
so you should just request to have it uploaded to the drive
Someone is working on a skin installer rn I think, which I assume will also use the drive or sth similar
Also, #modding-discussion
can i import mods into scarab?
Wdym
like can i get a randomizer

You will need to follow the instructions in the pins to Downpatch to 1.4 and use mod installer 2
oh okay thnaks
rip randomizer 😦
I literally just posted how to get Rando 🤨
where do I go to find the mods that's not on modinstaller

my friend and i are trying the multiplayer mod, we installed server and client but couldn't figure out how to do it, can anyone help?
- Download Scarab if you're just using custom knight.
- If you're gonna stick with mod installer 2, see the 3rd pinned message.
- To change the location the installer is checking, follow these instructions

yo since im y'know a virgin player that cracked hollow knight cuz i don't have money can I still download some mods like the custom knight mod?
No
is there a mod to label the collectables (mask, vessel and charms) on the map
No, but there's online maps for that or just lists of locations
i wanna get custom skins, i downloaded modinstaller2 and put the skins in the customknight folder, i went ingame but the change skin thing isnt there did i do something wrong?
i did everything they said correctly but i couldn't open my game after thet, so ı deleted and re-installed the game and tried again, smae result. Can you help with this?
Why are you using mod installer 2 instead of scarab?
wait, are you not supposed to use mod installer 2 for skins??
No
can I download mods on hollow knight from microsoft store?
So I manually downloaded the custom trial dll and am trying to place it in the modinstaller, but its not working. whats the process
Hi I just had a question, what will happen to hollow point? Since TTacco transferred ownership of the mod to Knightmare, will the mod possibly get ported/updated/bug fixed? Or is the mod fully abandoned now? I would love to see this mod recieving support since it's such a unique content mod
which modinstaller is better? 1 or 2?
whenever i do something in scarab it makes my game unable to open,does anyone know whats the issue
same, thats why i use modinstaller
You need to be on the latest version for Scarab. If you have down patched to 1.4.3.2 for any reason you will need mod installer 2.
Scarab exists so that you don't have to

does grimmchild form debug carfree melody do dmg?
so i downloaded scarab and everything works, but after verifying the integrity of game files and reinstalling mods, the mods options dissapeared, what do i do?
Ok so, I have the version 1.5.X and I've installed Scarab. Good so far.
The problem now is, doesn't matter how many mods I enable, if the API is active, the game opens, gives an error and then closes. Even if I have no mods enabled
I now tried to uninstall all mods, leaving only the API
Still nothing
Could you show the error?
What platform do you have Hollow Knight from?
If you modded in 1.4, then you'll need to download and run this once:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/889031834938265610/Global_Settings_Clear.bat
what exactly does it do?
I'm on Windows 10
It deletes some of the global settings files that can cause issues. They get regenerated correctly when you launch the game with 1.5 mods
No, not what OS.
Where did you get Hollow Knight from?
wait so would it delete my keybinds and such?
No
ok. thanks.
GlobalSettings files are from mods
batch file seems to have worked!
but im not sure if it fixed the problem yet...
it didn't...
my versiopn is 1.5.75.11827 if that helps
everything seems to work but the options is gone...
That's the error
are you sure you have scarab
Yes
Which options do you mean, btw?
when you open "options" in the menu, where the keyboard is and all, right below is "mods"
this is how i switched with custom knight, and messed with QoL
Are mod names showing in the top-left?
What mods do you have installed?
(You can screenshot the title screen to show them)
Hmmm.
I'm unable to check it right now, but you may need to post your ModLog.txt file, which is in your saves folder. The mods menu in options only doesn't show up if something is breaking it, but idk what would be causing that without seeing it.
ok, thanks for the help.
here it is, i think.
another oddity/oddities is that geo doesn't want to be picked up, even with the geo catch charm, and also that dream nail dialouge sometimes just doesn't work, i think the latter is due to the QoL
the geo still plays the collect animation flash and the sound though.
HEY HELPER how use additional maps
ask a bit better and i might help.
it's a minecraft meme
oh.
"hey helper how play game?"
if it was a joke then my apologies.
no im sorry for not being clear
anyway, you simply find new maps, by the benches as a hint in both of the new mapped locations.
then its just like you had any map.
wait so the map is in the benches of godhome?
yea.
i keep forgetting that theres more floors to godhome
because i think that the beacon by the bench on the bottom part is the pantheon of hallownest.
not the top part.
do you know which bench is the palace map?
should be the one closest to the spawn (or exit)
i forgot i had the mod so i was like "oh i missed something" "wait nvm"
Hi, im having some problems with the modinstaller, i download the application and select the installation file, I im missing a step? I think that hollow knight is updated
yea. so im not sure...
i have terrible memory, but i'm positive its around that area.
oh wait nvm
was it behind the forground?
still not it
not what i meant, try the area with the gates and elevator.
no no its fine
Check the pins 
ok so above or below this area?
If you're using 1432, then I think it's still in King's Workshop.
It's by the bench in 1.5
ah
oh
maybe we are using different versions!
well time to suffer to get a map
yes that was it
ok so my memory is not THAT bad after all XD

your situation is different but still gonna need more info than that lmfao
The skin isn't working, but it's installed, is there something else I need?
I have everything and they work before but they don't load and I keep watching videos and going in to the files and changing the version but it does not work
#archived-modding-help message have you done this
show the custom knight skin folder
I think but I will try again
If someone used Custom Knight in 1432, and is upgraded to Scarab, then they'll need to delete their customknight.globalsettings.json
This .bat will clear then automatically (along with other commonly messed up global settings files):

I have modded before, and it worked, but now they won't show up, and when I try to download a new mod from the mod installer, it gives me the message " Access to HDPIM.dll is denied ". What does this mean and how can I fix this?
No matter how many times I uninstall or restart anything, this never goes away.
Have you read the recent few pins?

I have. I have it on the 1.4.3.2 Beta, and it said updating, but everytime I try, the HDPIM.dll error comes up
pls help

Hollow Point is an unfinished mod that adds a gun, grenade launcher, airstrikes, and more to the game. The majority of the game's charms are also modified to work with the gun and abilities. Shoutouts to TTaco and Mino for developing the mod.
This video is just for comedic value and to show off the mod. Obviously, the mod isn't close to being b...

Hi all! I am new to this speedrunning and am having some issues with the save state mechanic of the debug mod
When I load a savestate, it teleports me to sly's shop, and sometimes it disables my ability to open the inventory, any solutions?
are you loading a savestate while taking damage or something
where did you set the savestate to
i think i finally figured out the problems in my game
i downloaded QoL which is when the dream nail problems started happening...
so im going to see what happens whith it back
though i still cannot open the "mods" in settings.
thats only there for certain mods
like custom knight, which i had installed.
and QoL which i also installed.
it was there before, but its gone now...
i wouldnt worry about the mods menu in your games settings
i cant switch my skins, and something broke that i think is related to QoL but i cant acess its config
do you have modcommon and vasi
modcommon is a mod
no...
maybe it was there on the installation but i did try to delete my mods, and reinstall them.
ok ill let 56 know it's not a mod
?
In 1.5 modcommon is not a mod (if that’s what this is about)
yes im in 1.5
if only we had that information beforehand
CustomKnight in 1.5 is way different
i did mention it, but its wayyy up in the history.
it was there before is what im saying btw
it worked just fine with what i was doing, but it broke after i did something
What mods did you install when it broke?
its actually what i uninstalled, which was mantis gods and QoL
all i really want to do now is completely wipe all my mod data and try again.
Have you already reinstalled every mod and deleted globalsettings files?
What is wrong with it?
?
Like what broke that isn’t getting fixed
i can no longer see the "mods" in options.
Is the ModdingApi enabled
yes.
Is it in the top left corner of the screen
yes.
Could you send ModLog.txt located in your save files path
its in the history, one sec lemme just reply it
here
also dreamnail text wont show and i cant pick up geo, even though its regerstering that i touched it
brb
ah good timeing i just got back
Does the same problems happen if you disable all mods except for the ModdingApi
uh ill try
can someone send the google drive link
For what
im trying to mod the game and i have very little clue as to what to do

First pinned message
it worked. i can see my mods now
any idea what mod is causing it? because i had them all on with it fixed, the only difference was REMOVING them.
If you want to mod ver 1.5 (newest ver) use ver 1.5
If you want to use mods that have been on YouTube but aren’t ported to 1.5 use 1.4
One mod is either missing a dependency or is programmed wrong. Or you didn’t delete the globalSettings files
i used a .bat file to do it, from someone else.
Could you link this?
im trying.
Actually
it was sent in this channel.
Could you right click the bat file, click edit, then paste the text here
uh ok...
I’m on my phone rn so I can’t exactly open them
do i just open the scarab thingy now
Move it to your desktop folder and, yes, that’s it

Ah ok
Is there a way to edit the damage that your spear does in lightbringer?
Once you’re there delete all files with globalSettings in their names
ok im getting the hang of it, what is the name of that hollow knight mod that lets you use guns?
Not without editing the code (which I’m not directing people to do again)
Hollow point, I don’t think it’s on scarab yet
Reverting to 1.4.3.2 is ez
will doing that affect my save or something?
Plus you can use mod installer 2 (basically scarab but for 1.4 and without a cool name)
ok its working.
Don’t think so, but you can back up your saves in case
thanks so much for the help.

thx
i cant find the LocalLow folder, can someone help me a bit
wait nvm i think i found it
is there a way to downgrade to 1.4.3.2 if the game was downloaded from steamunlocked
pls ping if you answer
Copy user1.dat, rename the copy to user3.dat, put it back in your save files
Same thing
Yep
That's it.
Yes, it'll stay a dat file unless youc hange it somehow.
The .dat.bak files are backups, just ignore them and the .1.4.3.2/1.5.75.11827 ones
if you want
Delete what?
Yea
Correct
does anyone know if this is possible
wait if you already have a game (not finished) can ur friends help, or you have to make a server and restart?
The multiplayer mod doesn't have progression sync, so you can play together even if one person has a 112 save and one person just started.
ok
alright, but im gonna wait for a sale

It'll say so in the lower left of the main menu
ok let me check
If it's lower, then use steam to update it
nice 1.5
debug
Someone speak spanish?
I'm either blind or dumb, but I can't find download for the mod installers, it takes me to github, but I don't really know how to maneuver around that site, so idk how to download anything at all

if you're thinking of making mods then #archived-modding-development is for you
hey! my grimmchild is just straight up invisible and doesn't fire his fireballs, i do have customknight i was wondering if a skin or something was messing with that idk
Hey so there’s supposed to be a folder titled “custom Knight” in my files after downloading it with mod-installer but it’s not
So I can’t use any skins
Not sure if it matters but I’m trying to use “Killer whale by Scorpion.Rueful”
what does "deploy" do in mod installer
Did you mean in benchwarp? Cause that's the only place I can think has a "deploy" button
- Have you tried running the game once
- Are you on mac by chance?
- Killer whale is formatted weirdly, this one is fixed. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/824709082706346012/824711825622827008/Killer_Whale_by_Scorpion.Rufeul.zip
If the custom knight folder isn't there then having the fixed version of the skin isn't gonna help
That’s yeah still a problem
Where are you looking for it?
okay so uh
my dumb computer duplicated files and screwed with them
theres 2 sets of files in game and i needed to extract the second one which actually does have custom knight
welp
thanks lmao
Ah
is there anyway to download the impossible any% mod on mac?
Yes, downpatch your game. Download Decoration masater from here (pretty sure it's decomaster you need): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/edit#bookmark=id.jnmmubz8xiug
Then download the impossible any% stuff from the below link. Place all the (Area Name).json files directly into your mods folder (I'm not positive if it's just directly in the mods folder but i think it is)
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1UJMASj7k1rQB1XOx5HK9X7715vbG9-ho
dll files dont work on mac i think
oh
You just have to put them in the correct spot
so do i just drop them in mods folder?
Yes
okay i did that but it isnt showing up on modinstaller
why would it?
dont you normally go through mod installer to work the mods
If you drop the dll in your mods folder then it's installed, is it showing up in-game?
yes the ones i already have installed through modinstaller
typically on windows you would go to modinstaller and manually add the mod but i dont see that option available for mac
That option is for mod installer 1, if you have mod installer 2 then it has the "Open Mods" button, that takes you to the mods folder so you can just drop in dlls
this is all my modinstaller is
Then you must have a slightly older version
Doesn't matter too much tho
It just means you probably put the dll in the wrong spot
Yea that's wrong
where should it go
The path should be \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\Mods\
For some reason mac has two managed folders
You needa unzip the folder, and just place the contents of it directly into the mods folder
k
Oh and one more thing, the decoration master dll has a "(1)" that shows it's the second time you downloaded it, you should rename it and remove that
Well
I don't think it matters but should probably do it
alright
mods installed but my map isnt loading, should i drop contents directly in to modsor does a folder with the contents work?
I think it has to be the Json files directly in the mods folder
ill try that
and then once i do that do i just boot up a new save and it should be there?
Should be
idk doesn't seem to be working i'll experiment with other map downloads some other time
t
thanks for your help though
no
That is benchwarp...
It sets a temporary bench wherever you are
Probably don't
okay so
me and a friend are using hamachi to connect via the multiplayer mod
it works but, i don see him moving, hes just idle on the bench
what does one do to fix this?
<@&328354344313421825>
Probably don't ping modding staff unless there's something that specifically requires them. Just put your question and be patient till someone answers
i assumed it required them since it revolves around mods, but alright
Also this pin explains the fix, or just use the better multiplayer mod linked at the top of this message
well give it a shot
hey i need help with the mod installer when i install a mod it worked fine but when i re-open it it says it could not find my game any help pls
What is "it" that could find your game?
The Mod Installer?
Which Installer are you using, and what version is your game?
If you haven't yet- make sure you read the pins 
in using the 1.4.3.2 hollow knight and im using the- Mod Manager v8.7.1 by Gradow
Make sure it's on your desktop and that you run it as administrator
Hm?
🔹 Verify Integrity of HK to reset it
🔹 Download and run this to reset Mod Installer's memory
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/890824593848299550/HKModInstaller_Reset.bat
🔹 Then re-open Mod Installer, and make sure that it's finding the correctly place that you installed the game.
If you're not sure exactly where your game is installed, then do this to double check:
For some odd reason, after i modded the game i cant pick up geo, why is this
after i verify my game files, my mods disappear and i can pick up geo again
What mods did you install?
how do I play people created levels in the coliseum trial mod
Well, as far as I can tell, that mod is completely fine.
Can you screenshot your main menu?
heres what the main menu tells me
and when i reassigned the path again in the Scarab thing, this is all i reinstalled
After i verified my game files, my mods went away
Also shouldnt there be an option for mods?
Yea, that's a custom knight bug. To fix it you have to delete the globalsettings file for the mod, located in with your saves
forgot to add the picture
I would like to know how to mod my game, I got from GOG, not Steam, can anyone please help?
Just download the mod installer

Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
I did that, it told me that it couldn't find the installer file for Hollow Knight
Then manually select it
I don't know how to do that, yes, I'm stupid
Wait, can you send a picture of the exact message it gave you
Either Scarab got confused from the path change, or you have two HK installs. The picture of the Main Menu shows more mods installed. You can "install" the other ones and uninstall them again to remove them, or just manually remove them by clicking the "open mods" folder and removing them.
How do I use the Custombgm mod? When I try it, it just plays the same note.
Cusotm
I managed to resolve the problem, thanks for your assistance 
@native ice yo
oh, how did i just not see that... what
uhm whenever i launch the game it starts flickering but its like semi playable
