In that folder
What am i supposed to do when mod installer can't see HK folder?
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
GOG
Use the scarab mod installer instead of the one you're using
Ok, thank, i'll try.
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
nvm it worked I AM just stupid
Im, i don't know what now. Custom Knight failed to initialize. And i can't understand modlog
Do you have Vasi?
Send your mod log here
There you go
I am not a man
im sorry then
You need Satchel
It is required to make Custom Knight work
It should be on Scarab
well, thanks. God tier human.
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
I can't get my mods to work, do I have to create a new game?
every time i change a setting in custom knight my game crashes*
Describe what your problem is and we may be able to help
Your game just fully crashes and you need to alt+f4 out?
yep. ill take a ss if it does it again in a second
What mods do you have?
customknight, satchel, and the multiplayer one
cant move or do anything
even if i just open the menu and dont change anything
I would uninstall your mods, revert to unmodded, open your game to make sure it works normally, then install things one at a time
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
so this?
Yeah check that works now
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
is there a way to mod the game if you bought it from the microsoft store
Sadly not
rip
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
Oh I've vaguely heard of this recently.
They're not sure why yet but it has been looked into
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
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.
how does the hollow knight vr mod work?
verifying removes mods
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?
Just tried to launch the game and it came up with a verify type window with the Knight's logo/sprite and then the game just never opened.
1.5.75
Mods still aren't working even though I've disabled and re-enabled the API on Scarab.
Please for the love of god someone please help me i tried intalling the mod installer and hollow knight no longer works please help im literally crying
On mac
Check the pins.
Scarab has a Mac version.
If you changed HK versions recently, read this post from TC:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/3109153465655517517/
I know, i just want to play it, but it just crashes over and over even though I uninstalled the mod installer
Uninstalling mod installer doesn't do anything
You can use Steam's Verify Integrity option to revert your game
Where would that be on steam?
Right click HK > Properties > local > Verify Integrity
Thanks so much

hey anyone available to help me learn how to mod the game
Generally speaking, Modding the game is as simple as installing Scarab, and then selecting the mods you want.
Check the pins for more info though 
How do i find out what each mod does?
All mods have a Description on Scarab, which gives you the basic idea.
Additionally, most mods are in this doc, which has better descriptions in some cases, as well as links to ReadMes about them when applicable:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/
Which mod is the one where my health bar is infinite?
Also, which mod is the one that gives you all the charms and abilities
Debug to both
Its not working
What isn't working
Nvm i got it
Does anyone have the sprite specifically of the player when they pass out on the ground

it doesn't change anything
can someone here help me? i am totally new to this and i have no idea what im doing. ive just downloaded the mod installer from the scarab link but i have literally no idea how to proceed
I saw hkvr mod in scarab mod list, how does it works?
i downloaded the easy mode but everytime i die i get this screen and i have to close my game can anyone help me please
Easy mode doesn't work anymore
Extract the folder you downloaded
Click on Scarab
any way to make it work or another mod to reduce the difficulty?
Ok thanks
Check your saves folder and see if there's a file called something like "easymode.globalsettings.json"
If there is you might be able to turn off the shade/respawn related stuff, which should fix it
thank you
thanks, ill give it a shot
you start up the game and play in vr, controls are still w kb/controller
Anyone know if Corrupted Kin is updated on the Installer? I only know that it was re-worked.
AFAIK the version on Scarab is the most up-to-date version

Hey does anyone know how to fix my fast healing glitch
people are saying its because I formerly had hollow point installed
thanks 
Thanks, Ill try this
is there a description on all the mods? the read me's dont work for me on any of them :/
go into your OS settings and associate .md files with notepad
there's also a readme repository in pins
How exactly would one go about making a custom skin?
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. Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions!...
Oh gosh I just wanted to make a funky spamton with a black cape and yellow and purple eyes
hello, i'm new to modding the game, just wanted to ask, do any of the programs clash with each other. like does scarab mess with modinstaller?
You can have both scarab and mod installer 1 and 2 at the same time, but don't run them at the same time. You can use mod installer 1 and 2 interchangably, but scarab and either mod installer won't work together because they're for different game versions, so if you open mi1 on 1.5 your game will stop working
i see thank you. I'm trying to figure out how to work with some of the mods as is, mostly just reading through things actually, and just wanted to be sure
Don't press the "Revert to unmodded" button, just verify game integrity and don't launch the install again and it'll be vanilla
how do i verify it?
steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
can i redownload these mods?
relaunch the installer and all your mods will be installed again
i wanted to delete them because i couldnt HEAL
Then say that, that won't be fixed by reinstalling
^
is it required you have hollow knight on pc to mod or do other platformers work
PC only
No consoles work
Can someone help me with my Scarab
It just opens a grey screen
Completely blank
reinstall maybe
noooo
I've gotten it three times now and it hasn't worked
Probably a Silicon error or something
this version is where i should go to mod right?
Yeah 1.4.3.2 has the most mods available atm
oh nice even skins right?
yep
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 ?
do you have the hollow point mod enabled?
installed and then disabled
Yep
but i dont understand why a gun mod have anything to do with healing
anyways i go find that tuff
Gun mod changes the function of soul
here you go
There is a mod in the installer to let easier the way the map works? Like update all time, intead of update just in benchs
I don't think so sorry
Thanks 
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||
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?
I believe the swapper part of custom knight lets you change boss appearences
Not sure if there's too many yet tho
I’ve only run into like
20 HK skins
All from the Fireb0rn that were made by white palace
you mean skins for the player?
Yes
There's two google drives in the pins
aw some skins I've seen skurry use are hella cute
Grimm knights my fav
It’s very well done
I love Tanjiro but it’s missing a lot of sprites
theres some really good ones
Like the walking map sprite
Hello. I'm looking por the SanicMod files witch lets you speed up or slow down the game. The creator said in Youtube the files are somewhere in this server. Thanks for the help
The sanic mod is on the 1.4.3.2 installer
Debug mod also lets you change time
Thanks!
wait to downpatch on steam do you need the beta access code?
when i tried it before without it it says 'you do not have permission blah blah blah'
That's for private betas
Just select it, and if it gives you that message then screenshot it
this is what i mean
wait what that was it
i was struggling for months and all i needed was a terminal command
tq so much man

Every time I warp, the game likes to give the "jump" button the "attack" button as well
meaning whenever I jump, I also attack
I can fix it by going into settings and "revamp controls" but I have to do it each time I warp
any actual fix for it? It just started today and was fine for like a week
it won't start
What game version are you on
just the regular steam version, after i uninstalled the modinstaller it still kept crashing
it was working before i installed the debugger mod
Verify your game integrity, and download and use scarab from the pins
How tf does the grimmchild upgrade mod thing work?
Have you read the redme?
how do i unistall the mods
verify your game integrity using steam and don't reopen the installer
don't know what that means
pretty new at this type of things
Go to your steam library > right click Hollow Knight > select properties > local files > Verify integrity of game files
Wait for it to finish
and you're mod-free
that's normal
also ty
850 KB per secon,d I´m fine. hbu?
why is scarab
because!
i don't even know what to ask
that is where i got the files i installed the windows and tried to extract but idk what to do from there
open the windows file
The folder in your screenshot is the sourcecode
yes, unzip that and run scarab.exe
it dosen't work when i run or run as admin
that folder is zipped
is extract is the same as unzip?
is it unzipped?
Is hollow knight in a known font or is it custom to the game
It's probably a pre-existant one but I've got no clue how to find out which
Apparently the character names and place names use Trajan Pro Bold
River please help me I am dying
Oh cool
oh you have to extract everything in the file I was confused since i usually extract stuff when it has a file format🤦♀️
Riverrrrrrrrrr
I'll scroll through chat search and see if someone had a similar problem
what?
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
What operating system are you on and did you get the right one for it
M1 Mac and yes
I’d assume it’s 64 bit seeing as hk 1.5 is, guess it might not be?
I don't know
It is based off a 1.4 installer
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
:/
.
Hope you didn't have a 1.5 exclusive mod in mind
All I want is randomiser and that's not on 1.5 anyway so
River you realize what the message I replied to means right…
Noo
Uh.... no
ModInstaller works just fine
Hk 1.4 is 32 bit
So does HK
Oh I see
Rosetta or something
Huh, well guess a 1.5 installer was not necessary
Just didn't want to downpatch cause I'm lazy like that lmao
Well check if hk 1.4 works
Hey i got some problems with the modinstaller. when i open it says to have the most recent version. i have that but it just doesnt work

How do install QoL mods

Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
if enough people want this I can make it
orrr I will just add this feature into the 1.5 vanilla map mod I'm working on :>)
i mean, you just select the installer and press the delete key
yeah, but
that wont get rid of mods you've already installed though
of course
so, how do i do it?
right click game in your library -> properties -> local files
and there's a button in that menu to verify game file integrity
yes. now you wait for it to download
what
what do you even mean
in what way
and your files verified
so this has nothing to do with mods

Hey, someone can help me with modding 1.5 for Randomizer? My PC is very weak, and 1.4 is not that "optimized"
you cant
I already have skins, Hell mode, more saves, Debug mode and bench warp for 1.5
Guess i'll have to wait then...
or downpatch to 1.4, and decrease settings
Still lagging
how low did you decrease resolution? did you turn off vsync? did you reduce resolution/window size even further manually?
About window size, i use one that i can see normaly, i did turn off Vsync
Reduce particles and reduce blur
And still lagging
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
Would be awesomeee
i just got the game on steam and downloaded it and it says i need to update the game so modinstaller can work.

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.
Does it say anything in the top left corner of the hollow knight main menu
Like "Compass Always On: Failed to load" or something?
Would you be able to head to your saves folder and send the file named "modlog.txt"
Maybe something in mod settings 
Like, it might just be turned off
Or would that remove it from the list in topleft 
Don't think so
Not sure tho

i thought so too, i'm surprised it's broken XD
Would you be able to send the player log from that same folder again please?
how does one get serecore?
It's on the installer
can you teleport with debugmenu?
I believe that there's a conflict between CompassAlwaysOn and AdditionalMaps - because of how AdditionalMaps is coded, it completely bypasses the code I add to display the compass. I'll try and figure out the best way to fix the issue. Sorry about that!
Added that afterwards. Didn't show up without it too 🤔 or i already forgot? Well, either way, thanks for looking into it.
Uhh, so with additionalmaps not installed, compassalwayson breaks?

I've sent out an update to CompassAlwaysOn (version 1.1; probably will be available tomorrow, I'd imagine). It should now work with AdditionalMaps installed; I'd imagine if it still isn't working, there's probably another mod breaking things?

the mods keep on crashing on my mac why is that?
Describe what happens and maybe somebody can help
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
Can you screenshot the folder you're selecting?
Uh, why do you have 2 hollow_knight_Data folders
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!
Thank you! Missed it
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?
(I can provide more info as neccessary)
(redirected from #hk-help )
hello everyone, i just download played hollow knight for about 1 week now and i think the game its a bit too hard for me, but im intrigued to know the story so can anyone help me install this mod, or you guys have a recomended mods that make the games easier, thanks!
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.
https://youtu.be/g9I3HwcI_us
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...
its telling me to update my game
you need to go to the beta section of the hollow knight properties on steam and select 1.4.3.2 32-bit compatability (idk about the GOG version tho)
[ERROR]:[UNITY] - MenuButtonList.Start ()
[ERROR]:[UNITY] - ^M```
I crashed when trying to load a randomiser and this is the modlog, how can I fix this?
those are the only errors in the entire modlog
this also happens when trying to load an existing save
the ak-47 in hollow point is so slow bruh
hollow knight was pretty hard for me too but after i looked at guides
i got the hang of it
and beat it
1 year ago
lol
Hello, how do you use the resetcharmnotches mod from the scarab installer? im new to the whole mod thing and im trying to see some synergies with charms lol
@prime moss what version of the game are you on?
1.4.3.2, I fixed it by disabling a few mods
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?
seems to be the same for a room in the city of tears
just infinite loads always
is there anyway to stop this?
will randomizer 3 be on scarab? and if so, when?
screenshot your main menu.
alright
if there's no conflicts, this could be a pc resource issue
wait a bit
or corrupted files
no. it'll be randomizer 4. and, eventually
when it's done
ok
your map mod is very old
should I try disabling map mod then?
I click on that and it says I doesn't have access to the link
it's in a different server
oh
where's the invite to the server?
thanks
how do I install it?
I've never manually installed something before
put it the dll in your mods folder
alright thanks
that doesn't seem to have fixed it
It still loads infinitely
would sending the crash log help?
maybe
nvm it's not crashing so it hasn't generated a new log
did you delete the other map mod that you had
yes
the dll and the log file
should I send the mod log?
since it's not making any crash logs
sure
doesn't look like a mod issue
hmm
I've got a pretty good PC it'd be weird if it was a resource issue
how can I fix corrupted files?
if you have vsync off and your fps isn't capped, your gpu is running at 100%
so it very well could be resource issues
or overheating
and you can try verifying game file integrity with steam
and then reinstalling mods
OK thanks I'll try that as well
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?
OK verifying and re-installing didn't work, the issue seems to happen in different rooms each randomiser if that helps solve it
I got it from humble bundle so I dont have it installed on steam or gog
humble bundle gives a code
so you should be able to download from GoG
humble bundle doesn't source the games themselves
the code doesn't work anymore? so you've redeemed it already?
if so, then it should be in your GoG library
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
this makes me think even more that it's a resource issue
I just disabled some mods and it fixed it
which ones
custom knight, debug mod, transtrans, and ultimatum radiance
idk which one was causing it
nope I just enabled that one and it worked
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?
if you gave away the key, you don't own the copy anymore
it seems to be customknight
But the exe file for the downloadble version of the game is owned by me
maybe it's just the amount of mods I have and not which specific mod?
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
unlikely. but if it's working now, then great

shame I can't use customknight lol
so..... something else is probably happening
might be moresaves conflicting with it
moresaves is known to cause hella issues
oh with customknight?
I didn't know that
I'll try disabling moresaves and enabling customknight
is there any other way to have, more saves?
are the savefiles user1.dat, user2.dat, etc?
yes
OK thanks
moresaves just adds pages for user5 through user255
how come some of the save files are .dat and some are .json?
.dat is the original HK save .json is created by QoL mod so it's easier for you to read it.
^ allows for save editing
oh OK
.dat is the "real" save
I've just been using bloodorca all this time
if I edit the .json will QoL apply the changes to the .dat?
yes
Yes
that makes no sense to me, but okay
yeah idk why
does it support custom knight?
I don't know
yes
thx
it supports fustomknnight
you have to delete globalsettings if upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5

when it's done
understandable have a great day
Im a very confused individual who doesn’t know what they are doing please help
what's the problem?
I don’t even know where to start with modding
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
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
No that’s fine I’m on steam
OK cool
so yeah if you want randomiser then for now you'll have to go with modinstaller
in link above from @dense shuttle
what if the version is none? is it 1.5?
yes
should be
thank you
The version of the game is also displayed in the title screen of the game
holy theres so much more mods now
Where can I find mods?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
launch the modinstaller and it will have a list of mods
same for scarab
whichever you went with
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
ah ok thank you
The mod installer says the installer requires the most recent stable version to run. What do I do?

Instructions are in the pins, or use scarab instead
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
you'll have your saves still
ok
It's functionally the same
oh
it's after the godmaster DLC and everything
Oh so godhome won't be in my save file? cuz I already unlocked that
godhome will be
oh
oh ok
^
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?
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
do you have customknight?
and did you put the skin and unzip it in the customknight folder?
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
Thanks!
i have Hollow Point but i can't get it to manually upload to the Mod Manager
What do I do?
where's the pinned message for the skin drives?
I can't find them
here(sry for the notification Mickely)
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
hollow point is on the installer. just press the install button.
if you're using scarab, you can't use hollow point. it's not ported to 1.5
wait is it for 1.5
scarab is the 1.5 installer
no i mean the mod
.
and the mod Manager
no. they are zipped
shame
where can i download the modding program?
