Where can I put skins here?

limber egret
#

In that folder

lament void
#

#

thanks

full iris
#

What am i supposed to do when mod installer can't see HK folder?

limber egret
#

Where did you get Hollow Knight?

full iris
#

GOG

limber egret
#

Use the scarab mod installer instead of the one you're using

full iris
#

Ok, thank, i'll try.

lament void
#

there is just a big blue line here what does this mean?

#

idk if im just dumb

queen smelt
#

whenever I load into a game with the right item and room randomizer settings on I spawn glitched into a wall and cannot leave. Also, settings don't pop up when I'm glitched there

lament void
#

nvm it worked I AM just stupid

supple quiver
#

wait is customknight on scarab

#

oh my lord i feel so stupid lmao

full iris
#

Im, i don't know what now. Custom Knight failed to initialize. And i can't understand modlog

queen smelt
#

no

#

ill try it with vasi enabled

full iris
limber egret
#

I am not a man

full iris
#

im sorry then

limber egret
#

You need Satchel

#

It is required to make Custom Knight work

#

It should be on Scarab

full iris
#

well, thanks. God tier human.

supple quiver
#

i was gonna ask why custom knight wasnt working, but it may be also because that lol

#

nvm i had it installed already 0_0 do you know why my game keeps crashing when i try to use a skin?

#

it worked fine with modinstaller on the previous patch but i learned scarab does it on this one

low flower
#

I can't get my mods to work, do I have to create a new game?

supple quiver
#

every time i change a setting in custom knight my game crashes*

limber egret
#

Describe what your problem is and we may be able to help

#

Your game just fully crashes and you need to alt+f4 out?

supple quiver
#

yep. ill take a ss if it does it again in a second

limber egret
#

What mods do you have?

supple quiver
#

customknight, satchel, and the multiplayer one

#

cant move or do anything

#

even if i just open the menu and dont change anything

limber egret
#

I would uninstall your mods, revert to unmodded, open your game to make sure it works normally, then install things one at a time

supple quiver
#

how do you uninstall them? just unclick the box?

#

apparently yep

#

yea game runs fine without them. guess i’ll install them again

#

i need satchel roght

limber egret
#

Yeah. Start with just modding API

#

Then custom Knight+satchel, then multi

supple quiver
#

so this?

limber egret
#

Yeah check that works now

supple quiver
#

seems to work fine so far

#

seems to work with custom knight installed

#

nope just brok it

#

has something to do with the swapper skin i think

rustic rose
#

is there a way to mod the game if you bought it from the microsoft store

limber egret
#

Sadly not

rustic rose
#

rip

supple quiver
#

well i cant figure out why but yea sometimes custom knight just be crashing my game

#

also swapper doesnt stay disabled for some reason

#

ok from what ive seen if you go through the menu instead of spamming B to exit the menus it never breaks??

#

@limber egret ok so if i press B to exit the options menu back to the main pause menu it breaks the game but otherwise it doesnt lol

limber egret
#

Oh I've vaguely heard of this recently.

#

They're not sure why yet but it has been looked into

supple quiver
#

it was so weird i accidentally realized that it was only breaking whenever id B button out but not when id click the buttons lol

#

Does anyone know how I can get the the Hollow Point mod? I found the Github site with it, but I have no idea what to do after that xD

#

You need to download mod installer 2, make sure you're on patch 1.4.3.2, and then follow the instructions in the hollow point readme

#

All of this stuff can be found in the pinned messages

sage notch
#

So I went to launch Hollow Knight, it didn't load for some reason, I verified the game files and then launched the game with mods installed and enabled, but no mods were loaded in the game when I launched it... Not sure what's wrong... Using the 1.5 Scarab Mod Loader.

misty knot
#

how does the hollow knight vr mod work?

native ice
#

Run scarab again and press the "Disable/Enable API" twice and make sure it ends up on "Disable API"

#

And when it didn't load, what happened specifically?

sage notch
limber egret
#

What patch are you on?

#

Are you on 1.4.3.2?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFIudBIWI1Y this video explains things pretty well, but its a bit boring to sit through

My (arguably too) in-depth tutorial on how to create a Custom Knight skin. Includes: downloading and installing Hollow Knight's ModInstaller and Custom Knight mod, using SpritePacker, using FireAlpaca/art tips, and uploading and properly saving your sprite, plus a much simpler method.

hi, i encountered some problem when installing mod
After I switch to 1.4.3.2 and practice in hall of gods I cannot heal myself, reinstalling doesn't solve the problem
If I switch back to 1.5 and play with another save the problem goes away, but if I play with the save that used 1.4.3.2 mod then I still can't heal

#

is it some problem with my save ?

stiff spruce
#

do you have the hollow point mod enabled?

woeful forge
#

installed and then disabled

stiff spruce
#

That might have something to do with it

#

Do you have the Hollow Point fix?

woeful forge
#

i dont think so i didn't see it in mod installer

#

i need to download separately?

stiff spruce
#

Yep

but i dont understand why a gun mod have anything to do with healing

anyways i go find that tuff

Is there such thing as like a game theme change?

#

Where they change massive amounts of things like boss appearances

#

Or even boss reskins

#

||maybe like a shade skin for the Pure Knight||

stiff spruce
#

There's Lightbringer mod

#

Kind of retells the story a little bit

#

Then I'm pretty sure all of the boss mods have small reskins and things like that

#

Like Inferno King Grimm?

native ice

Not sure if there's too many yet tho

The folder in your screenshot is the sourcecode

yes, unzip that and run scarab.exe

cobalt junco

it dosen't work when i run or run as admin

native ice
#

that folder is zipped

cobalt junco

is extract is the same as unzip?

yea

#

check that the folder doesn't have the .zip when its opened

It's probably a pre-existant one but I've got no clue how to find out which

Hmm

#

Apparently the character names and place names use Trajan Pro Bold

I'm sorryyyy

I'm not familiar with scarab or mac

stiff spruce
#

nooooo

#

thank you anyway

#

I'll scroll through chat search and see if someone had a similar problem

stiff spruce
#

apparently Scarab is just

#

completely inert

native ice
#

what?

stiff spruce
#

So I started opening the executables cause I'm edgy like that

#

and they all give me an exec format error

#

wonder what that could mean

#

I wonder if maybe it's a 32-bit app still

wheat orchid
#

What operating system are you on and did you get the right one for it

stiff spruce
#

M1 Mac and yes

wheat orchid
#

I’d assume it’s 64 bit seeing as hk 1.5 is, guess it might not be?

stiff spruce
#

I don't know

wheat orchid
#

It is based off a 1.4 installer

stiff spruce
#

I get the exact same error trying to run the executable for Linux as I do for the Mac Scarab files that aren't Scarab

#

That's interesting

#

Ok so the one person who actually got a response because certain people like to ignore questions they can't answer said nobody knows

native ice
#

fantastic

#

Uh, well you can downpatch and use 1.4.3.2 mods i guess

stiff spruce
#

:/

wheat orchid
native ice
#

Hope you didn't have a 1.5 exclusive mod in mind

stiff spruce
#

All I want is randomiser and that's not on 1.5 anyway so

wheat orchid
#

River you realize what the message I replied to means right…

stiff spruce
#

Noo

native ice
#

Uh.... no

stiff spruce
#

ModInstaller works just fine

wheat orchid
#

Hk 1.4 is 32 bit

stiff spruce
#

So does HK

native ice
#

Oh I see

stiff spruce
#

Rosetta or something

wheat orchid
#

Huh, well guess a 1.5 installer was not necessary

stiff spruce
#

Just didn't want to downpatch cause I'm lazy like that lmao

wheat orchid
#

Well check if hk 1.4 works

#

so, how do i do it?

real jacinth
#

right click game in your library -> properties -> local files

#

and there's a button in that menu to verify game file integrity

azure pelican
#

ight

#

clicked button

#

is that all?

real jacinth
#

yes. now you wait for it to download

azure pelican
#

it's been validated

#

or wait

#

do i have to be on the version i moddded on?

real jacinth
#

what

azure pelican
#

no?

#

ight

real jacinth
#

what do you even mean

azure pelican
#

nvm

#

it still isn't working

real jacinth
#

in what way

azure pelican
#

i can't open hollow knight

#

the latest update

real jacinth
#

and your files verified

#

so this has nothing to do with mods

#

MacOS users

32-bit users should use the 1.4.3.2 version You can install our last 32-bit compatible version by right-clicking Hollow Knight in your Steam library, click Properties, Betas, and select 1.4.3.2.

#

Hey, someone can help me with modding 1.5 for Randomizer? My PC is very weak, and 1.4 is not that "optimized"

real jacinth
#

you cant

olive heron
#

I already have skins, Hell mode, more saves, Debug mode and bench warp for 1.5

real jacinth
#

cool. randomizer isn't on 1.5 yet

#

so again.... you cant

olive heron
#

Guess i'll have to wait then...

real jacinth
#

or downpatch to 1.4, and decrease settings

olive heron
real jacinth
#

how low did you decrease resolution? did you turn off vsync? did you reduce resolution/window size even further manually?

olive heron
#

About window size, i use one that i can see normaly, i did turn off Vsync

#

Reduce particles and reduce blur

#

And still lagging

real jacinth
#

reducing particles does like nothing

#

and no clue what "i use one that I can see normally" means

#

you can greatly improve performance by turning fullscreen off and reducing resolution

#

which will then reduce window size

#

or you can change window size even more (outside the confines of the menu selections), with launch options

olive heron
#

Testing here

#

Stil

#

So probably no solution but wait...

is it possible that some mods in scarab don't work? like compass always on?

and where do you find more info about the mods?

I've heard somebody had an issue with Compass Always On recently, but it should work

#

It seems to have suddenly stopped working.

🤔

how even?

Does it say anything in the top left corner of the hollow knight main menu

Like "Compass Always On: Failed to load" or something?

fallen dew

you tell me 🤔

i'm kinda messing around now

#

nope, still not working

limber egret

Would you be able to head to your saves folder and send the file named "modlog.txt"

Maybe something in mod settings hornetsip

I'm getting a similar error when I use either Scarab or the old installer (game version 1.5.something).
Scarab says:

Select the folder containing hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data.```
I have reselected the folder multiple times and double checked that it contains hollow_knight_Data (which it does).
Does anyone know why this is happening?

#

If it helps, I have the GOG version

native ice
safe oyster
#

I select the "Hollow Knight" folder

native ice
#

Uh, why do you have 2 hollow_knight_Data folders

safe oyster
#

I don't know

#

hollow_knight_Data Contains Managed, which only contains Mods

#

Hollow Knight_Data contains the actual game data

#

Fixed it!

#

I deleted hollow_knight_Data and reset the path in Scarab and it worked

#

Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to run Hollow Knight on a Linux VM (Kubuntu 20.04, I'm trying out different linux versions before installing it on my main system), but every time I start HK, it immediately crashes. I'm wondering if this is a Linux or a VM issue, and if there is a way to fix it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P95_Y62UCII go to the link from this video to get the mod installer
I would recommend the easy mode mod on there (idk exactly how it functions, though it might help)

Did a randomizer mod run on the live stream and I ran into some issues when installing this mod so I figured I could share how to do this.

This video will show you how to install the Randomizer mod in Hollow knight. That includes both random rooms and random items.

Note that once you download and install the Rando...

#

@prime moss what version of the game are you on?

prime moss
#

the room with a great husk before false knight is refusing to load

#

false knight has the mantis claw according to the spoiler log so I have to fight him to progress

#

I've tried loading it like 4 times but it's just a black screen with the knight running in the bottom right forever

#

what do I do?

prime moss
#

seems to be the same for a room in the city of tears

#

just infinite loads always

#

is there anyway to stop this?

versed falcon
#

will randomizer 3 be on scarab? and if so, when?

real jacinth
prime moss
#

alright

real jacinth
#

if there's no conflicts, this could be a pc resource issue

prime moss
#

wait a bit

real jacinth
#

or corrupted files

real jacinth
#

when it's done

versed falcon
#

ok

prime moss
#

idk which one will be conflicting

real jacinth
#

your map mod is very old

prime moss
#

should I try disabling map mod then?

real jacinth
#

should be v1.1.1

prime moss
#

I click on that and it says I doesn't have access to the link

real jacinth
#

it's in a different server

prime moss
#

oh

#

where's the invite to the server?

#

thanks

#

how do I install it?

#

I've never manually installed something before

real jacinth
#

put it the dll in your mods folder

prime moss
#

alright thanks

prime moss
#

It still loads infinitely

#

would sending the crash log help?

real jacinth
#

maybe

prime moss
#

nvm it's not crashing so it hasn't generated a new log

real jacinth
#

did you delete the other map mod that you had

prime moss
#

yes

#

the dll and the log file

#

should I send the mod log?

#

since it's not making any crash logs

real jacinth
#

sure

prime moss
real jacinth
#

doesn't look like a mod issue

prime moss
#

hmm

#

I've got a pretty good PC it'd be weird if it was a resource issue

#

how can I fix corrupted files?

real jacinth
#

if you have vsync off and your fps isn't capped, your gpu is running at 100%

prime moss
#

oh

#

I'll try capping my FPS

real jacinth
#

so it very well could be resource issues

#

or overheating

#

and you can try verifying game file integrity with steam

#

and then reinstalling mods

prime moss
#

OK thanks I'll try that as well

jovial flint
#

Hi, I have hollow knight from a downloaded exe file but the modinstaller wont recognise the file as being hollow knight, know any reason why?

prime moss
jovial flint
#

I got it from humble bundle so I dont have it installed on steam or gog

real jacinth
#

humble bundle gives a code

#

so you should be able to download from GoG

#

humble bundle doesn't source the games themselves

jovial flint
#

It doesnt work anymore

#

It does have a downloadble exe, i can show the file itself

real jacinth
#

the code doesn't work anymore? so you've redeemed it already?

#

if so, then it should be in your GoG library

jovial flint
#

No it was already redeemed from a friend so I dont have the gog or steam key anymore, but hollow knight is still downloadble in a .zip format, its on 1.5.68 patch

real jacinth
#

so it's stolen

#

you have to have your own purchased copy

real jacinth
prime moss
real jacinth
#

which ones

prime moss
#

custom knight, debug mod, transtrans, and ultimatum radiance

#

idk which one was causing it

real jacinth
#

it was probably ultimatum radiance?

#

probably wasn't debug or customknight

prime moss
#

nope I just enabled that one and it worked

jovial flint
#

What? its not stolen its my humble bundle, i gave the key because I own hollow knight on switch already but it also contains a downloadble version through an exe file?

real jacinth
#

if you gave away the key, you don't own the copy anymore

prime moss
jovial flint
#

But the exe file for the downloadble version of the game is owned by me

prime moss
#

maybe it's just the amount of mods I have and not which specific mod?

real jacinth
#

no

#

it's on your pc

#

doesn't mean you have legal rights to it

#

you gave away the "real" version of the game when you gave away the key

#

you cannot turn 1 purchased copy into 2

#

that's not how it works

real jacinth
prime moss
#

OK yeah it's customknight

#

enabling everything but not customknight fixes it

#

thanks

real jacinth
prime moss
#

shame I can't use customknight lol

real jacinth
#

rando and customknight are used together all the time

#

and both are current

prime moss
#

yeah

#

idk what's wrong

real jacinth
#

so..... something else is probably happening

#

might be moresaves conflicting with it

#

moresaves is known to cause hella issues

prime moss
#

oh with customknight?

#

I didn't know that

#

I'll try disabling moresaves and enabling customknight

real jacinth
#

moresaves messes with other mods that affect the UI

#

like debug and customknight

prime moss
#

is there any other way to have, more saves?

real jacinth
#

manage your save files yourself

#

rename them. or copy/paste them

prime moss
#

are the savefiles user1.dat, user2.dat, etc?

real jacinth
#

yes

prime moss
#

OK thanks

real jacinth
#

moresaves just adds pages for user5 through user255

prime moss
#

how come some of the save files are .dat and some are .json?

limber egret
#

.dat is the original HK save .json is created by QoL mod so it's easier for you to read it.

real jacinth
#

^ allows for save editing

prime moss
#

oh OK

real jacinth
#

.dat is the "real" save

prime moss
#

I've just been using bloodorca all this time

#

if I edit the .json will QoL apply the changes to the .dat?

real jacinth
#

yes

limber egret
#

Yes

prime moss
#

that's cool

#

uhh customknight still breaks it even without moresaves

real jacinth
#

that makes no sense to me, but okay

prime moss
#

yeah idk why

royal musk
#

is support for 1.5 out yet

#

prime moss

does it support custom knight?

prime moss

Im a very confused individual who doesn’t know what they are doing please help

prime moss
#

what's the problem?

distant willow
#

I don’t even know where to start with modding

west bane
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
prime moss
#

well first off you should download either scarab or modinstaller from the pins

#

scarab is for 1.5 but it doesn't have all mods

#

like randomiser

#

if you download modinstaller you need to switch to 1.4.3.2, which can be done by opting into it in steam

#

idk how to do it on anything other than steam sorry

distant willow
#

No that’s fine I’m on steam

prime moss
#

OK cool

#

so yeah if you want randomiser then for now you'll have to go with modinstaller

honest flax
#

in link above from @dense shuttle

next helm
#

what if the version is none? is it 1.5?

modern flint
#

yes

prime moss
#

should be

next helm
#

thank you

west bane
honest flax
#

yes

#

shit im SNAIL

next helm
#

holy theres so much more mods now

distant willow
#

Where can I find mods?

west bane
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
prime moss
#

same for scarab

#

whichever you went with

sharp dirge
#

this happens whenever i install any mod, it was working fine for weeks then the power cut while i was playing and the next time i opened the game this happened, it works fine in vanilla though

novel bronze
#

@sharp dirge

sharp dirge
#

ah ok thank you

novel bronze
#

The mod installer says the installer requires the most recent stable version to run. What do I do?

prime moss
#

downpatch to 1.4.3.2

#

just go to properties and betas

limber egret
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
limber egret
#

Instructions are in the pins, or use scarab instead

novel bronze
#

k

#

wait if I go down to 1.4.3.2 does that mean I won't have everything I usually do in hollow knight

prime moss
#

you'll have your saves still

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

It's functionally the same

novel bronze
#

oh

prime moss
#

it's after the godmaster DLC and everything

novel bronze
#

Oh so godhome won't be in my save file? cuz I already unlocked that

prime moss
#

godhome will be

novel bronze
#

oh

prime moss

the patch is after the godmaster DLC

#

all the DLCs are still there

so this may be a stupid question, but i cant find my mod manager. I can click on mod installer, but it takes sometime as it's checking if it already exists, to open it. The mods work, i just want to make a desktop shortcut. Where does the mod manager go by default?

real jacinth
#

nowhere

#

if you didn't move it, it's probably still in downloads

#

mod manager and mod installer are the same thing

#

it's a standalone program

i need some help i got a skin but it's not working what do i do

prime moss

and did you put the skin and unzip it in the customknight folder?

steady rover

oh no thanks

but where do you get skin

indigo island
#

check pinged messages, there is one dedicated to custom skins and custom knight mod

#

there are also 2 drives with a lot of skins, and look for a video explaining how if you need extra help, i did it literally 3 hours ago for the first time, Fireb0rn video helped a lot

thank you

is there anyway to see the .png files whilst in google drive?

so I can see what the knights look like without having to download like 20 skins

real jacinth

if you're using scarab, you can't use hollow point. it's not ported to 1.5

solar sluice
#

wait is it for 1.5

real jacinth

scarab is the 1.5 installer

solar sluice
