just wondering what does qol mod change?

pliant lantern
eternal osprey
#

Since no one seems to have noticed, I'll try asking again. What's the difference between modinstaller 1 and modinstaller 2? Is there any reason I should choose one over the other?

prime moss
#

if you're on mac or linux use 2, if not just choose whichever looks nicest (or if one doesn't work, use the other)

#

download scarab, it's the new installer for 1.5

inner heart
#

But, how do i use that?

prime moss
#

first pinned message has the link to scarab

inner heart
#

Ok

#

Ready

potent ravine
#

Is there a Randomizer for HK 1.5?

prime moss
#

no

#

not yet

onyx moon
#

is it possible to use randomizer in 1.5

#

oh

orchid stone
#

couldnt find mention of it here, whenever I try and install HKMP on scarab it loads for a second and then immediately crashes. any ideas why?

potent ravine
#

It can be your computer.

#

Or maybe a corrupted file.

Hello I'm trying to get Transformer Knight to work - when I load in I'm Smol, but backspace only toggles me invisible & then back to Smol - if I take damage while invis I'm visible again & still Smol. So I'm never normal or Beeg. Transformer Knight also does not show up in the Options under Mods.

I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious or if I maybe have something else installed that's incompatible since I do have a laundry list of mods? (17 I guess looking at my screenshot LOL) If anyone has any ideas I'd be really grateful, thanks! (I'd be happy to remove some of the mods to get it working properly with all 3 sizes)

#

Unbind it in debug mod @heady kestrel

#

(backspace is bound to toggle visible in debug)

heady kestrel
#

OH

twilit crescent
#

also 1.4 probably doesn't have beeg knight but I may be wrong

heady kestrel
#

Flib helping me even when I tried not to bother you directlly, love to see it xephHug

#

The release page for Transformer Knight says it's both

twilit crescent
#

Oh

heady kestrel
#

what Page is invis on? I am literally blind

#

Oh it's "hide hero"

#

So now I'm not turning invis but I'm still not toggling sizes. But I found the settings file & it looks like it just didn't populate a default button so hopefully I can just add it there & it will be fixed.

brazen pasture
#

Transformer knight does have beeg knight, but the mods menu is 1.5 only

heady kestrel
#

Yay I've got it working. Also thanks Dandy, I was a bit worried that wasn't showing up

brazen pasture
#

And a bunch of qol fixes were done only after porting it to 1.5 so keep benchwarp and debug ready grublove

heady kestrel
#

Thanks for the tip! I didn't used to but I have been keeping debug on since HDive tends to stick me in walls sometimes LOL xephSmile

#

Alrighty

#

I want some help

#

I click pinned messages yeah?

#

It says I have to update to the most recent patch?

#

confused

prime moss
# ripe musk it dosent work

They're using chinese, which uses less characters per sentence so it takes less time to appear. They also have a lot more practice at spamming buttons with the right timing than you do

prime moss
idle mountain
#

You're the best thankyou

prime moss
#

no problem

#

btw you can use scarab instead if you do want to use the latest version, but it's missing a few mods like randomizer and toggleablebindings

idle mountain
#

I just wanna do some stupid charm builds that need JUST enough charm slots :(

#

I wanna be summoner but also SPEED with big nail

prime moss
#

I believe infinite charm notches is on scarab, 1.5 and 1.4.3.2 are pretty similar there's just a few fixed bugs in the newer one

idle mountain
#

Haven't beaten the game al the way through yet. Only beat the first form of radiance

#

I wanna get this scarab thing instead?

prime moss
#

it doesn't really matter too much

#

whichever you prefer I guess

#

downpatching should keep all your saves

idle mountain
#

I also have to downpatch for scarab or nah>

prime moss
#

no

idle mountain
#

bet

#

I suppose there's just a readme that I follow

prime moss
#

you download it

#

double click the binary

#

and then click the mod you want

idle mountain
#

Which is the binary?

prime moss
#

are you on mac windows or linux?

idle mountain
#

Windows

prime moss
#

download the windows.zip and double click the exe

idle mountain
#

mhm

#

OH

#

I am at the UI

prime moss
#

cool

#

now just look for infinite notches and click install

prime moss

#

I just saw that, ididn't look hard enough myb

#

Bruh catch me making a samus skin

prime moss
#

after that put the skin in the CustomKngiht folder, which you can find by right clicking hollow knight on steam > manage > browse local files, and from there go to hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight

idle mountain
#

I will become Samus aran defender of hollownest

Hi. I'm having a bit of a problem. When I pause the game, I can't select the resume option. Controller doesn't work, the mouse doesn't work, confirm button on keyboard doesn't work, and even pressing escape to close the pause menu doesn't work. I'm forced to save and quit, then load the file. Is this a known problem?

There's only 2 patches you can use

#

1.4.3.2 and 1.5.75.11827

#

1.2.2.1 has mods but there's like 5 and they're mostly for speedrun stuff

Is there an item randomizer mod for scarab?

#

and what version do i need?

native ice
#

Of?

gritty bluff
#

hk

native ice
#

Current patch/1.4.3.2 both have CK

atomic mortar
native ice
#

It'll download, you don't have to uninstall and reinstall tho

atomic mortar
#

But it'll still have to redownload the entire game right?

native ice
#

I don't think so, but possibly

#

I think it's a shorter wait

gritty bluff
native ice
limber egret
#

No

gritty bluff
limber egret
#

Current patch is the current live version of the game

native ice
#

Current patch being 1.5.75.11827, the version that you get when you download the game

gritty bluff
#

alright

gritty bluff
#

and which modinstaller?

native ice
#

Scarab

gritty bluff
#

okie tysm

limber egret
#

The first pinned message has all of this information

Only 1.4.3.2 I see is for 32-bit compatibility

Yes that's the one

oh ok

i can't find scarab

limber egret
#

It's in the first pinned message

#

Under the word "scarab"

gritty bluff
#

by Mickely?

limber egret
#

It is also the second pinned message

gritty bluff
#

oh ok

limber egret
#

Yes the first message

gritty bluff
#

ok right thank you

#

and does it have all the mods built into it?

native ice
#

Not all mods are on it yet, if you're looking for custom knight, yes it has that.

atomic mortar
#

What's up with this thing below the soul counter?

unknown.png
native ice
#

Looks like debug mod

#

Pressing f1 or fn + f1 should toggle the debug menu, and you can press other 'f' keys to toggle certain panels

atomic mortar
#

ah thanks f1 did it

native ice
#

Do you own a legitimate copy of the game?

ivory aurora
#

btw river nice pfp

native ice
#

Modding usually doesn't work on gamepass, unless you use a slightly complicated method

#

So, you're saying the game is crashing, but you haven't used mods or?

We can't help, sorry. This isn't a tech support channel. I don't know why people keep pointing people to this channel.

It's most people go to when they don't know where else to send them

Bc they just kinda associate modding with tech

Hello, I am new to this server and have joined to install a multiplayer mod to play with friends, I am on mac and have the 1.4.3.2 version of hollow knight updated. However, when I go to open the mod on downloads on my mac it says “ModInstaller 2" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Can anyone help me out?

Does the Infinite Notches mod conflict with any other mods? Is the Infinite Notches mod effect reversible after activating it? If yes, how?

thorn merlin
#

there's something wrong with my game

#

I downpatched to 1.4.3.2

pliant lantern

because 1.5 didn't work for some reason

and it took all mods off

#

but on one of my files, I tried the hollow point mod

and now I can heal for 1 soul, at the speed of light

infinite notches was updated to reduce notch count back to 11 when uninstalled, but can't remember if that was 1.5 port exclusive

What did you do?

thorn merlin
#

the file edit

limber egret
#

Using the website or using QoL mod?

thorn merlin
#

Using QoL (Quality of Life) mod:

  • Go to your save files (type ?saves in chat if you don't know where that is)
  • Locate user#.json (with # being the save slot number)
  • CTRL+F "focusMP_amount"
  • Set the value to 33
#

uh do you need to have QoL installed ?

and screenshot your game folder location

I have questions. One says that if I want to revert the Infinite Notches mod effect I would have to remove the mod and then edit my save, but another says that the Infinite Notches mod has been updated to set the notch count back to 11 when uninstalled. In case I want to revert the Infinite Notches mod effect, where and how do I uninstall and where and how can I edit my save to set my number of notches to what I should have?

real jacinth
#

uninstall with the installer

real jacinth
# trim trout

please buy the game. mods do not work with pirated copies

trim trout
#

#

That too

looks like i wont see mods on my pc

#

We could have skipped this if you just fessed up earlier

wheat orchid
random gorge
real jacinth
#

you can edit your save with either the bloodorca.io site or with QoL mod

#

and you'd change the notch number to whatever you had before

#

Is there a way to know if the mod version of Infinite Notches I have is this updated version?

if you got it from the installer, it's the updated version

But i can't find the Item randomiser inside it?

well that would make sense

#

b/c rando isn't on scarab

Scarab's Infinite Notches mod description says the Infinite Notches mod is togglable, so does that mean I can disable it at any time without having to uninstall it?

real jacinth

you'll need to use 1.4.3.2 and modinstaller if you want randomiser

So unless you have downpatched, which you haven't, since the other 1.4.3.2 installer didn't work, you need scarab

limber egret
#

Can somebody explain how the first pinned message could be in any way improved?

mossy smelt
#

could put only in all bolded italicized caps after the version

robust trench
#

what about 1.5.75.11827

mossy smelt
#

so

#

-Scarab (patch 1.5.x ONLY, all platforms):

mossy smelt
robust trench
#

ok

#

what do i do with the scarab master file

mossy smelt
#

run the exe

potent stirrup
#

do i have to manually put the mods in the hollowknight folder, and then open scarab

robust trench
#

where is that

potent stirrup
#

or does scarab install them

mossy smelt
#

scarab does it

#

no point in an installer if you need to install things yourself :P

mossy smelt
robust trench
#

can someone make like a video im so confused

mossy smelt
#

wdym

#
  1. download
  2. unzip
  3. run
#

oh, if you don't know what a zip file is, it's basically just a file that has other files and folders inside of it

#

so the exe is inside of the zip, and you need to unzip the zip to access it

prime moss
#

open file explorer

#

right click the zip file

#

click extract all

#

double click the exe

native ice
prime moss
mossy smelt
#

the confusion seems to primarily come from being unaware than 1.4.3.2 isn't the current patch, and isn't the one they have installed

prime moss
#

for scarab

mossy smelt
prime moss
#

and say that if the modinstaller is telling you to update, you actually need to downpatch

potent stirrup
#

wat do i do

mossy smelt
#

click install

#

for whatever you want

prime moss
potent stirrup
#

the ? is confusing lol

#

but aight

Hello. I was wondering if people could help me with which mod would help me see all checks on the map if I am doing a randomizer run?

prime moss
#

it'll be in your save folder location

#

or install the randomapmod which just shows you where they are on the map

#

that's probably easier

potent stirrup
#

whats the name of the mod that randomizes the map

mossy smelt
#

oh also

native ice
mossy smelt
#

the channel topic needs to be updated

native ice
summer rock
#

Thank you!

potent stirrup
#

should it be here

mossy smelt
#

no

#

it's not on scarab

#

downpatch

prime moss
potent stirrup
#

when you say downpatch, you mean downgrade my hollowknight version?

mossy smelt
#

yes

potent stirrup
#

and use another installer?

#

ok

mossy smelt
#

pins have tutorial

native ice
potent stirrup
#

omg thankyou lol

native ice
#

And then use mod installer 1/2

robust trench
#

how do i do randomizers

prime moss
potent stirrup
#

code?

mossy smelt
prime moss
#

you dont' need a code for that

prime moss
robust trench
#

oh

#

so i cant do randomizers on 1.5

mossy smelt
#

nope

#

mod hasn't updated

robust trench
#

;-;

#

how do i use the costom knight skins

mossy smelt
#

custom knight mod, pins

robust trench
#

what is a good skin

prime moss
#

see which one you like the most

potent stirrup
#

ok im still confused about the beta code

prime moss
#

it's for something else, you don't need to use it at all

native ice
mossy smelt
potent stirrup
#

im using mod manager

#

are there descriptions of these mods

prime moss
#

yes

prime moss
#

Is this an easter egg or something why did this happen

glad horizon

how do I disable mods?

native ice
# glad horizon how do I disable mods?

If you want to disable all mods, verify your game integrity using steam. If you want to disable some mods, uninstall/disable them in the installer. If you're trying to restart because you're having a problem, explain the issue instead please

glad horizon
#

I'm just trying to disable randomizer

native ice
#

then open the mod installer. and uninstall randomizer 3

spark igloo
#

ok when i used the mod installer, the game wouldnt start up and then i deleted the mods folder in the steamapps>common>hollow knight>hollow knight data folder, but i still cant open the game

glad horizon
#

but it freezes and crashes when I try to click the uninstall

#

or the enable

native ice
#

Is your game open?

glad horizon
#

no

native ice
dense shuttleBOT
glad horizon
#

I might just uninstall and reinstall

native ice
#

Either get the new mod installer, or check the third pinned message

#

I think 2

spark igloo
native ice
#

Press the "Open Mods" button in the bottom left corner, and manually delete the "Randomizer 3.dll"

native ice
#

Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

spark igloo
#

ok

#

ok it worked thanks

Are changes made using the DebugMod exclusive to the save where the changes were made or are they for the entire game?

and this

whatever the newest patch is

real jacinth

So you have two patches installed then?

neat osprey

i guess

real jacinth
#

Sounds like you pointed the installer to the wrong one

neat osprey
#

so how do i switch it?

real jacinth
#

then make sure you select your actual 1432 install

neat osprey

do i use this command? ~/.config/HKInstallerSettings.json

ok it worked

#

I see, thank you. I did try just getting to mantis lords on an existing save file but that didn't work either. I'll try making a new save, maybe that'll work. From what I've seen searching the channel other people have had issues with this mod in the past though so I'm not very confident tbh

If that doesn't help, try getting dependency mods. Serecore, Vasi, Satchel

no pinned discord message

Your game version is 1.5 not 1.4.3.2 I assume?

digital cobalt
#

nope

#

ist 1.4.3.2

#

its*

#

but do i need 1.5 for scarab

limber egret
#

Oh, okay. So you have also downpatched.

digital cobalt
#

yup

limber egret
#

Screenshot your installer and your hollow knight main menu

digital cobalt
#

ok

what the fuck is hkvr

#

It's not like you can walk around in the world etc

#

If you go into Options On HKis there a Mods tab?

digital cobalt
#

no, i think the api is not installed or something, i tried installing it manualy but i dident work

limber egret
#

Close both programs
Right click your hollow knight in Steam
Properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files

After that reopen your mod installer.
Close your mod installer

Head to your saves folder and delete anything called "SOMETHING.globalsettings.json"

Open hollow knight again

digital cobalt
#

just open and close the installer? Not do something in it?

limber egret
#

Yep. Open it, wait like ten seconds, close it again.

digital cobalt
#

ok

sonic locust
#

How do i get those like platforming challenge maps?

digital cobalt
#

cant find the SOMETHING.globalsettings.json where is it supposed to be?

digital cobalt
#

i belive i found my problem

#

i tried verifying but the same thing just happened

#

how do i get it to find my vanilla files?

wheat orchid
#

After you verify don’t use the installer, it’s already vanilla

digital cobalt
#

huh?

limber egret
#

They're resetting because it didn't install the API the first time

#

Not trying to go back to vanilla

wheat orchid
#

Oh

digital cobalt
#

NO the problem is that the api never downloaded

#

i think it is because it never found my files to normal hk

limber egret
#

Right click hollow knight in Steam
Properties
Local files
Browse local files
Then see what that file path is.

digital cobalt
#

what is the path supposed to be

spare badge
#

which is the mod that skips the absrad intro? QoL?

digital cobalt
#

for me it is (D:)-steam-steamapps-common-hollowknight

wheat orchid
#

Did the installer ever ask you about your hollow knight path?

limber egret
#

That doesn't matter too much. The pinned messages have info on how to reset the installer. Do that, and then when you open installer again it will ask you where HK is. Point it to that file path

digital cobalt
#

the thing is i have tried reseting the installer but it wont fix it

wheat orchid
#

So you reset the installer and it still doesn’t ask about your path?

digital cobalt
#

let me try

limber egret
#

It should say "is your HK in its default place" and you click no

wheat orchid
#

Yeah, it might look similar to your path but it’s in c:

digital cobalt
#

can someone send link to the installer reset thingy

limber egret
#

.

digital cobalt
#

thx

#

It askes for the location but then dont install the api

wheat orchid
#

Does it show the enable ModdingApi button at the bottom of the installer

#

Also you made sure to set it to the right path?

digital cobalt
#

it has the revert back to unmodded but no moddingapi button

wheat orchid
#

Try opening the game, it might have not showed it was installing

digital cobalt
#

i have

#

it still sais unable to locate vanilla hk

wheat orchid
#

And you’re 100% sure you set it to the right path without the game open?

digital cobalt
#

pretty sure yes

wheat orchid
#

Try installing a mod

digital cobalt
#

i tried the hpbar mod but i dident work/show up

wheat orchid
#

So the installing thing never shows up?

digital cobalt
#

for mods it does but not for api

#

i think the modinstaller is working just not conected to the game files

wheat orchid
#

Alright, go back to steam and do the same stuff you did to get to your hollow knight files

wheat orchid
digital cobalt
#

ok

wheat orchid
#

Once you’re in your hollow knight files in file explorer, go inside the hollow_knight_Data folder, then inside the Managed folder

#

Ver 1.4.3.2 or ver 1.5?

#

What’s the problem?

digital cobalt
#

i am in manage folder

#

what now?

wheat orchid
#

Is there a Mods folder?

digital cobalt
#

yes but empty

wheat orchid
#

I think the installer is having some problem connecting to the internet maybe?

#

You set up the skin’s folder wrong

#

Or you’re missing the modcommon mod

digital cobalt
#

Ehm

#

how do i fix that?

wheat orchid
digital cobalt
#

OMG i ran it as administrator and it installed the api

wheat orchid
#

Just send a screenshot of what the skin folder currently looks like (include the path in the screenshot)

#

So that was the problem

#

Either connecting to the internet or saving files

digital cobalt
#

Thank you so much!

It’s fine, was just making a poorly made joke that you can look it up on google or something

killer whale

wheat orchid
#

Aha killer whale is weird

fair briar
#

that one's pretty messed up

#

dwarf made a fixed version once iirc, I can look if I can find it

#

Extract the zip file in that folder, then take any png file in there and put it in the original killer whale folder

fair briar
#

the 920384029384023948(1) file is knight.png iirc

wheat orchid
#

But there’s a zip file in there?

#

Where more stuff can be contained?

fair briar
#

_ _

#

get that zip

#

it should

#

if you install it the same way you did the previous version

#

Important that it should be CustomKnight > Killer Whale by Scorpion.Rufeul

#

and in that folder should be all the .png files

#

np

#

could you screenshot the folder again?

#

could you see if theres a file in there somewhere called Knight.png ?

#

alr

#

do you have modcommon?

#

yeah, open it and see if you have modcommon and customknight installed and enabled

#

this i mean

#

yeah, it's needed for it to work, just enable it and start the game, and everything should work!

#

np!

#

nice 👍

wheat orchid
quaint flame
#

Yeah.

wheat orchid

but what kind of modinstaller did u use?

wheat orchid
#

Doesn’t matter

quaint flame
cinder viper

oh ok

wheat orchid
#

Scarab is the only ver 1.5 installer

#

Plus the installer won’t effect in game stuff

Try disabling moresaves and trying again

cuz im waiting a lil more to install mods

wheat orchid
#

?

cinder viper

i dont wanna start installing it now xd

although it does make me question how or why

wheat orchid
#

Moresaves adds stuff to that menu too, must be bugged

cinder viper
#

what does Moresaves mod?

wheat orchid
#

I love how it used to cause incompatibilities with mods and the rewrite still does

cinder viper
#

its the first time i hear about it

quaint flame
#

Should i just keep it disabled and just manually change saves in the future?

wheat orchid
#

Idk the function of the new version, the old one adds more “pages” to your save menu

cinder viper
#

oh thats useful

wheat orchid
cinder viper
#

really useful actually

quaint flame
#

the new one still does the same, and i think lets you customize the name of your save file

wheat orchid

Also iirc it has a in game save editor

there's no vanilla button for modinstaller 2, do I need to use modinstaller 1 to go vanilla easily or is there a way to do it with 2?

limber egret
#

It's the same method for both

#

Right click hollow knight in Steam -> properties -> verify integrity of game files

prime moss
#

there's a revert to vanilla button in 1 though

#

does verifying the integrity of game files just have the same effect?

limber egret

It just gives you a message telling you to do this
