This is a bug that happens sometimes. Sometimes it can fix itself, sometimes you need to restart your computer.

limber egret
# cold ruin fuck

Check the pinned messages for mod installer 2 and how to downpatch.

drowsy citrus
#

it works!
sorry if i was rude or impatient i had a bad night so im a bit grumpy and i was sad cuz i couldnt play hk

static sluice
#

So now somehow I have Nymm while Grimm is still Sleeping in the Tent

limber egret
#

So set in town to false and kill or banish Grimm

#

Or set the flag for the event to be true

static sluice
#

I’ve been trying to banish Grimm multiple times
But whatever I edit it just has Grimm already defeated the first time and not Banish-Able for some reason

limber egret
#

Everything is in the file, you'll need to do some digging to figure out exactly what you need for your circumstance.

anyone mind telling me how to install the mod launcher or link me to a message that tells me how

First pinned message

If you don’t know what version of hollow knight you’re on you can check in game in the lower left portion of the title screen

lime grove
wheat orchid
#

What operating system are you on

#

Ex: windows, Mac, Linux

#

@ me if you reply

lime grove
wheat orchid
#

Right click it and click extract

lime grove
#

then

limber egret
#

Then open scarab

wheat orchid
#

Go into the folder it created from extracting, and open it

lime grove
#

thats it just open it ?

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

lime grove
#

@wheat orchid can i use unmodded file

#

on modded file

#

without it fucking it

#

up

#

my unmodded file

wheat orchid
#

A save file?

lime grove
#

for example

#

i get a save file from the unmodded version

#

can i use that one for modded

#

or do i need to remake one

wheat orchid
#

Yeah, can’t tell you if it will get messed up by mods though, that depends on how mods were programmed and what mods you use

lime grove
#

any idea of whats weavercore mod ?

#

wanted to do inferno king grim but it appeared for some reason

wheat orchid
#

If you want to back up your save files, press windows key + r, paste in the save files path, then copy user#.dat to another location (the # is the number of the save slot, do it for each one you want to back up)

wheat orchid

#

I tried unmodding my hollow knight and now i get this error if i try to start it. this window pops up for about 1sec and closes again. does someone know why?

wheat orchid
#

And what mod installer did you use to mod it

empty canyon
#

mod manager by gradow

#

i uninstalled all the mods and then clicked revert to unmodded

wheat orchid
#

You tried modding version 1.5 with a 1.4.3.2 installer?

empty canyon
#

oh

wheat orchid
empty canyon
#

well i tried unmodding it with that

it also just resets when i open the installer again

wheat orchid
#

Look closely, it’s the save files path, not game files

empty canyon
wheat orchid
#

So it wasn’t modded in the first place

empty canyon
#

yes

wheat orchid
#

It installed the outdated ModdingApi

#

And it failed to unmod it

#

Where did you purchase the game

steam

wheat orchid

Go to your steam library

Right click hk

#

Click properties

lime grove
#

do i just start the game

normally

#

for the mod to be used ?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

limber egret
#

You will also need to install the modding API

lime grove
#

we good

#

it worked

wheat orchid
#

(On scarab it isn’t shown there)

limber egret
#

Ah yeah, forgot about that

wheat orchid
#

@empty canyon continuing with my instructions, next click local files, click verify integrity, wait for steam to do stuff (I don’t care about what it tells you, files WILL fail to verify and that’s what we want because it will redownload them)

empty canyon
#

ok i reverted back to 1.4something and then uninstalled all the mods and then went back to 1.5 and now its fixed

#

do you maybe know why i start steel soul mode with only 4 hearts? is that something the mods could have broken?

limber egret
#

Yes

#

Is that a new save or an existing one?

empty canyon
#

ok it was the mods, it was an exisiting one, i deleted it and created a new one and now i have 5hp

#

thank you both for your help

lime grove
#

been trying to play mantis god mod but i cant get it work any idea why ?

leaden comet
lime grove
#

i dont know if it actually buffs

#

sister of battle

umbral saffron
#

What's the mod called that let's you be able to see checks on the map for randomizer?

leaden comet
lime grove
#

f

leaden comet
#

i used an existing 112% file, both sisters and mantis lords fights are normal. so i created a new save in godseeker mode while the mod was enabled, still both normal fights. Am i doing something wrong?

lime grove
#

maybe the mod is broken

#

or you have

#

to enable it

#

somewhere

#

but dk where

real jacinth
#

screenshot your main menu

real jacinth
#

do you have vasi enabled

leaden comet
#

more info: I am on windows 10, Hollow knight version 1.5

leaden comet
real jacinth
#

then it should work on the sisters of battle statue in HoG on a normal save

#

you have to hit the lever on the statue to change it

leaden comet
#

my 112% file is a normal save. I'll try it out on another one as well though

#

shit i haven't unlocked sisters of battle in any other file....this will take some time

umbral saffron
#

do you need a quill in order to be able to see the checks?

real jacinth
#

no

#

you talk to elderbug like 5 times to get the maps. or press ctrl+m to toggle the maps

#

there's some other keybinds you can use too

umbral saffron
#

oh wait the mod failed to load

#

is there any way to restrict all the pins to show only if you have that certain area's map unlocked?

real jacinth
#

wdym

#

the purpose of the mod is to show you what's currently in-logic for you to get

#

so dunno what you mean by unlocking a certain map

umbral saffron
#

like for example if when you get the greenpath map unlocked, all the pins there would appear

#

idk how to say it

#

cuz rn you can already see all the pins of hallownest

#

and i want it to be limited only to the areas i already unlocked

real jacinth
#

I dont understand

#

like you want to get the maps from their vanilla locations?

#

pretty sure you can just get them that way

umbral saffron
#

ah nvm

#

i think im just overcomplicating it

real jacinth
#

otherwise I don't get what you mean by unlocked an area

#

it's randomizer

#

you're meant to go all over

#

and not play linearly

umbral saffron
#

no im not randomizing the map itself

real jacinth
#

I know

#

but you may not be intended to go to greenpath for quite a long time

#

it's not like you're going to progress to the intended area order like you would in base game

umbral saffron
#

no it's not about unlocking the area earlier or something

#

im talking about cornifer's maps

real jacinth
#

as am i

#

so do you want to get them from talking to him in his vanilla spots

umbral saffron
#

no

real jacinth
#

b/c that's the only other option

#

so then I have no idea what you're asking

#

if you enter an area you just get the map?

umbral saffron
#

im talking about all the pins from a certain area's map showing up once you get it

real jacinth
#

how are you getting it

umbral saffron
#

idk randomizer

#

imagine all the pins on the map are hidden

real jacinth
#

the pins do nothing except help newer players

#

to know what they can get

#

making that harder to get would just be an unnecessary barrier to entry

#

randomizer makes you think laterally about what items you can get in ways you never would have expected from the base game. mapmod is meant to dynamically show newer players what items are in logic for them based on their current items

#

so randomizing where the helping pins/maps are at would be counterproductive to the purpose of the mod

umbral saffron
#

well all my pins are set on the ? setting

#

so i legit don't know what they all are

real jacinth
#

the mod doesn't show you what you'll be given

#

the labels are what the vanilla check is

#

an item, or a geo spot, etc

umbral saffron
#

ah i see

real jacinth
#

the readme for it

#

describes what everything is

umbral saffron
#

randomizer map S?

#

are randoMapMod and randomizer map S the same thing?

real jacinth
#

it's like version 2.0

umbral saffron
#

seems like i've been using the older version the whole time

#

oh dang this version has the thing i've been looking for

#

ty for your help

#

and being able to survive my stupidity

leaden comet
real jacinth
#

what save slot are you in

#

have you tried it without moresaves in a slot 1-4

nova pilot
#

I assume mods are missing cause they aren't ported to the newest patch yet, bonfire mod for example?

leaden comet
leaden comet
leaden comet
#

didn't work. btw even though Vasi is enabled in the mod installer, it doesn't show up in the main menu active mods list. Is that right?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

so you tried it with only vasi and mantis gods?

#

or was something else enabled still

leaden comet
#

Modding API, MantisGods and Satchel

real jacinth
#

and not vasi?

#

vasi is the only dependency of mantis gods

leaden comet
#

I have enabled vasi, but it doesn't show up in the list in the main menu

real jacinth
#

is there anything of note in the options menu under mods

leaden comet
#

it's already ON

real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

then it should be working

leaden comet
#

maybe i should try a different boss mod, any recommendations?

real jacinth
#

well the only others on 1.5 are corrupted kin and pale prince

leaden comet
#

i'll try out both then

#

corrupted kin works shroompog

#

pale prince works too

sick ledge
#

okay so my game has started lagging a while ago and i think it's because of a mod

#

but i have a ton of mods and i can't tell what that is

#

is there any mod that causes lag ?

real jacinth
#

screenshot your main menu and your video options

sick ledge
#

do i have to quit to the main menu?

#

im in the middle of p5 rn and ive gone pretty far

real jacinth
#

you could turn off vsync

#

that's probably causing the most issues

sick ledge
#

thanks!

Hello, I have a Mac and downloaded the correct mod installer. I had trouble opening it at first but then bypassed the issue by opening the MacOS folder and clicking on the Unix Executable File labeled Modinstaller. It then opened the app no problem. From there the path was established under the resources folder in hollow knight’s local files. I then proceeded to install the infinite charms mod using the app and tried opening hollow knight through steam to see if it worked. I didn’t get very far however as a prompt comes up shortly after clicking play that says “hollow knight quit unexpectedly” and then feeds me a crash report I have no idea how to read or interpret. I then decided to delete the mod installer and all of the files within hollow knight’s local files that might have been created or somehow changed by the app. This amounted to only being the infinite charms mod file and the mod folder itself. After that I tried opening hollow knight again and again and the same crash report continues to appear. I can assure you hollow knight was working perfectly fine before I started messing about with mods and I am quite worried I will lose my saves and/or not be able to play hollow knight on my Mac again unless I reinstall. I will gladly provide more info and pictures if someone is willing to help. Thanks!

#

The crash report is many pages long and I'm not sure where the subject of interest is within it.

real jacinth
#

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. OS Error 4294956470 Running the follow command in a Terminal should fix this (assumes the default Steam library location): /System/Library/Frameworks/Co...

dry moss
#

Ok, that fixed the crashing problem but the mod I installed doesn't show up anywhere in game or work.

real jacinth
#

you might have to use scarab again after the fix

dry moss
#

Oh I should use scarab instead of modinstaller?

real jacinth
#

if you are on 1.5

#

yes

lusty raven
#

do some mods not work together?

real jacinth
#

other installers will put 1432 patch mods in the game. you have to match the game patch with the installer you use

real jacinth
lusty raven
#

;-; now i know why

real jacinth
#

mods that affect similar game systems tend to conflict

#

e.g.: if you have 3 mods that all change charms

lusty raven
#

makes sense cheers

#

there go all my hopes of creating havoc with inf charm and hollow point

limber egret
#

Infinite notches will work with charm changes.

dry moss
#

Welp, I installed scarab and the same mod and hollow knight crashed again during startup

primal frigate
#

are the 2 pinned custom knight skin drives the only ones or are there more ?

real jacinth
dry moss
#

1.4.3.2 and I'm assuming scarab is only compatible with the 1.5 patch

real jacinth
#

yes

#

so you'll have to use modinstaller 2

dry moss
#

That's what I used before and the mod didn't show up

real jacinth
#

did you install modding api

dry moss
#

Okay I figured it out. Thanks so much for your help!

#

That last bit did the trick!

foggy adder
#

hi mods could you help me, i'm wondering how the devs will import the sprites into the unity(used engine) perfectly?

real jacinth
#

what

foggy adder
#

like this?

random nest
#

So you want to replace in game sprites? Or do you want the in game sprites? Or want to know how to insert sprites into the unity engine to develop a game?

#

Which one is your question?

foggy adder
#

want to know how to insert sprites into the unity engine to develop a game because when I import even if it's the game's sprites they get "pixelated"

limber egret
#

Google "Unity tutorial"

foggy adder
#

I've seen several but it doesn't work

limber egret
#

Google "unity help discord"???

#

This is nothing to do with modding

lusty raven
#

they

#

have got a point

real jacinth
#

or find a unity development class

#

or something

foggy adder
#

I thought that since you are mods I can at least be friends with the devs sorry

limber egret
#

I think you've misunderstood both what this channel is for (modding, not moderation) and also the relationship you can have with the developers of a video game.

real jacinth
#

you're trying to ask team cherry directly for unity help?

#

yeah, that's not happening

foggy adder
real jacinth
#

so go ask them

foggy adder
#

hahaha

real jacinth
#

imagine if TC stopped to address every question or help request they got

#

silksong would never get finished

limber egret
#

So no net change

real jacinth
#

not that it will be anyways

I am having some trouble with QoL mod, it keeps failing to load, but yesterday it worked just fine

iron lynx
#

no sure if this is the right place to ask... but is there a guide/video for the current way to down patch?

real jacinth
limber egret
#

#

The third pinned message has text instructions to go with this image

iron lynx
#

thank you!

#

is this the same way to down patch to 1.2.2.1?

I downloaded the modinstaller and it tells me that I can't use it because it says that I have an old version of hollow knight and I have the most recent one, what can I do?

Either get Scarab from the first pin, or check the third pinned message

thx!!

visual compass
#

Is infinite grimm automatically on when I download it?

#

Or do I have to do smthn

#

Bc I didn't work

novel bronze
#

maybe ur modding api is gone for some reason

visual compass
#

Nope

novel bronze
#

other mods work?

visual compass
#

Yup

#

Wait

novel bronze
#

are you doing normal grimm or nkg?

#

cuz the mod is for nkg I think

visual compass
#

Would using debug mod to get to NKG have anything to do with it?

#

Bc I did

novel bronze
#

ahhh

#

well idk what to do then

#

maybe reinstall the mod

visual compass
#

Ye I'll try

#

It works on 1.4.3.2 right

novel bronze
#

yes

visual compass
#

K

novel bronze
#

thats the only thing it works on

native ice
#

It doesn't work in godhome, you have to do it in dirtmouth

visual compass
#

Ye ik

#

I used debug mod to get into the NKG area

#

In dm

native ice
#

Uh, what

visual compass
#

?

native ice
#
  1. You shouldn't have to use debug to get there
  2. Did you banish on that save?
visual compass
#

No

#

I used it to get there quick

#

Which may be the issue

#

I can fight NKg

#

But not infinite grimm

native ice
#

It looks like you have to beat nkg and then refight him, and wdym you used debug to get there quick, that's not a debug feature afaik

wheat orchid
visual compass
#

U can get through the back wall

native ice
#

Uh, probably don't do that...

#

So, the mod shows up in the top left corner, you're in dirtmouth, you've beaten NKG on this save, and if you go back to the tent and try to refight nkg it doesn't let you or it's not infinite grimm or what?

visual compass
#

It's not infinite

sinful lily
#

what do i do if the modinstaller wont open

novel bronze
#

probably upgrade ur pc

I think its just not loading it

#

thats my guess

sinful lily
#

ok

my computer is pretty terrible so you might be right

novel bronze
#

u have any other computers?

sinful lily
#

i have one at my dads house that works fine but i only have 1 at my moms house

sinful lily
#

every other week

novel bronze
#

oh nice

sinful lily
#

ye

novel bronze
#

well you might only be able to play there

sinful lily
#

yes maybe

#

ill continue trying stuff just in case

novel bronze
#

ye it might just take a logn time to load

#

or maybe open it in files

sinful lily
#

k

novel bronze
#

if u get it to load, cherish it

#

dont close it until you have ALL the mods you want

sinful lily
#

yes

#

oh nevermind i reinstalled it and now its working

novel bronze
#

oh nice

sinful lily
#

yes

#

now i can torture myself with any radiance yay

novel bronze
#

use randomizer and do all cursed settings

sinful lily
#

that sounds fun

novel bronze
#

Thats more torture than breezy any radiance

sinful lily
#

ill try that too

novel bronze
#

do it, its really fun

sinful lily
#

yes i will

novel bronze
#

also check art discussion for my art

#

its pretty good

sinful lily
#

ok

native ice
#

I don't wanna be rude, but it doesn't seem like you know what you're talking about when you answer questions here

sinful lily
#

alright what the heck why did the screen say any radiance but it was actually absolute radiance

native ice
#

Do you have ModCommon?

sinful lily
#

idk lemme check

native ice
#

It'll show up in the top left of the pause/main menu in-game

reinstalling the mod installer

pallid rune

also this

pallid rune
#

Ill try

dark veldt
#

and this

#

pretty much uninstalled all and then verifyd the integrity

native ice
#

Well, that doesn't exactly make sense but sure

dark veldt
#

ik

#

prob bc of the mods or the new update

native ice
#

Oh wait, if you removed mods/verified it makes sense

dark veldt
#

for some reason it does not solve it , i deleted all and then verifyed

native ice
#

But the actual fix is to download Scarab or check the third pinned message to downpatch (Scarab might have issues because the public beta patch literally ujst went live)

dark veldt
#

yea i had that problem yesterday

#

but didnt show any compatibility message

#

anyway thanks

how do i set the path for mod installer 2?

#

this is the gui

native ice
sick ledge
#

the mod installer isn't working after the update

brazen pasture
#

need beetle boi

sick ledge
#

i updated the installer too and it doesn't work

brazen pasture
#

i mean scarab

sick ledge
#

yes

#

i have scarab

brazen pasture
#

what breaks?

sick ledge
#

when i open HK the game just starts normally

#

without the mods

#

nvm it works now

toxic whale
#

Getting this error message for CompassAlwaysOn. What do?

#

Mod logs also didn't reveal any useful information for a layman such as myself

toxic whale
#

Alright, I installed an older version of it and that seems to be working.

stiff gyro
#

the mod installer crashes when I try to install a mod

#

this is after following all the fixes sent in this channel

#

this mod installer really isn't very stable

vestal fjord
#

hollow knight crashes when i try to open it with mods

#

it crashes even when i open it with no mods

limber egret
#

**There was an update to Hollow Knight last night. If you are using Scarab you will need to update your Modding API as out will be out of date. **

Head to: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
Delete everything named `SOMETHING.GlobalSettings.json.
Head to the out of date tab in Scarab.

stiff gyro
#

the out of date tab is blank

#

also the update API button is greyed out

limber egret
#

Hmm.

stiff gyro
#

I've tried reinstalling scarab and reinstalling hollow knight

#

neither of them work

#

now scarab doesnt crash, and I can see the mods in the top left, but they dont show up in the mods list ingame

gaunt walrus
#

First time trying to use mods, installed scarab but I have no clue where to put the downloaded files

vestal fjord
#

how do i up date it

limber egret
#

I would try resetting the mod installer. The method for that is in the pinned messages. I'll update my message.

stiff gyro
#

i tried that as well

#

didn't work

#

resetting it just made it crash

#

also my game is acting up now, gathering swarm is completely broken and doesnt work

limber egret
vestal fjord
#

thanks i will try that

stiff gyro
limber egret
#

If resetting the installer doesn't work try verifying integrity of game files via steam then opening scarab again.

#

Very frustrating.

stiff gyro
#

kk

#

yeah it is

#

my friend had the same issue but he cant remember how he solved it

limber egret
#

Would be nice if TC had any communication with the modding community.

stiff gyro
#

yeah

vestal fjord
#

when i close modinstaller and try to open hollow knight ti still crashes

stiff gyro
#

at this point i just want to get rid of scarab altogether

#

its just nice to be able to gain money

#

such a wacky concept

vestal fjord
#

hollow knight opens but as soon as it opens it just close

stiff gyro
#

ok so i got it working by downloading the batch file listed in the pinned comment

#

this one i think

limber egret
#

Which message is that from?

vestal fjord
#

ok thanks

limber egret
#

This one?

gaunt walrus
#

I can't find the randomizer in scarab?

limber egret
#

It is not updated to 1.5

#

You'll need to downpatch your game and use mod installer 2

#

Instructions are in the third pinned message.

stiff gyro
vestal fjord
#

i am on mac would that have any thin to do with that

#

i mean hollow knight crashing

#

got to go

lone depot
tacit cliff
#

i need help

#

uh anyone here to help me?

brazen pasture
#

u need satchel

dire kettle
#

yeah okay so i got a couple new skins for the knight but like only 1 of them works, how do i fix them?

limber egret
#

Check the pinned messages. You likely have the wrong file structure

dire kettle
#

im not sure how im supposed to organize this

limber egret
#

Can you redo that screenshot so we can see the address bar?

dire kettle
#

the address bar is fine

#

it worked with the other mods

limber egret
#

If you say so

boreal ledge
#

Do the scarab mods still work with the patch? Wanna make sure before I download it

spring sage
#

Why do this? notlikequirrel

opal grail
#

for me dont work the scarab in the new patch

#

crash all time when i open the menu

spring sage
#

I open and crash instantly

umbral totem
river flint
#

so the button i need to press to pull up the debug is not combatable with my laptop as it is the laptops help button and im wondering if there is a way for me to change it

real jacinth

#

oh didnt know i had that button thanks my guy

short carbon
#

oh ok

winged charm
#

so, does CompassAlwaysOn conflict with AdditionalMaps?

novel bronze
#

im gonna ask how to use the enemy hp bars now. (like it worked before but its just not doing anything now)

real jacinth
#

on which patch

real jacinth
winged charm
#

It doesn't work with AdditionalMaps installed for me on current patch, both mods updated

novel bronze
real jacinth
real jacinth
novel bronze
real jacinth
#

did you install debug mod recently

#

did you change any settings for the hp bar mod

novel bronze
real jacinth
#

there are

novel bronze
novel bronze
real jacinth
#

where your saves are

#

not in-game

#

the actual file location

novel bronze
#

yeah didn't touch that

winged charm
real jacinth
#

well you're missing sfcore

#

which additional maps needs

winged charm
#

but additional maps works

#

only compass doesnt

novel bronze
#

uh so what am i missing exactly?

#

i haven't touched the settings, but i updated debugmod

#

(it worked before with it)

real jacinth
#

the version of debug you have is not for your patch

novel bronze
#

how 2 downgrade then (cuz modinstaller keeps installing this version)

real jacinth
#

which installer are you using

novel bronze
#

(also the mod itself works)

novel bronze
winged charm
#

and according to the newest modinstaller - I have installed everything. So what can I do?

real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

nothing

novel bronze
#

also disabling and uninstalling debugmod dosen't fix the issue

#

no healthbar appears

winged charm
#

not even a bugreport?

real jacinth
#

nope

winged charm
#

that's dumb

real jacinth
#

complain to team cherry for sending out a new patch then

winged charm
#

wut

#

it never worked before also

#

how this is a team cherry fault?

real jacinth
#

they patched the game last night

#

so new API

novel bronze
#

so uh what is the issue then

real jacinth
#

new game patch

winged charm
#

Yo are not listening =(

real jacinth
#

the mod should have been working before last night. so dunno what was going on there

#

if it works without additional maps installed, then just do that I guess

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

winged charm
#

compassalwayson never worked for me with AdditionalMaps, even on previous patches

novel bronze
#

mickely, so whats my issue in the end?

real jacinth
#

no idea

#

title screen says its working

#

and if you didn't change anything, or aren't telling me, then it should still be working

novel bronze
#

ill try a full reinstall of the mod

novel bronze
#

the settings file must have been broken/corrupted i suppose. thanks for trying to help me though

winged charm
#

sorry to bother you, but it seems compass still doesn't work with additional maps, even on a current patch with newest modloader (scarab)

twilit crescent
#

Oh

#

Can you send me your modlog?

#

@winged charm

short carbon
#

i know it may be a dumb question but how do i shoot in hollow point mod?

real jacinth
#

the attack button

short carbon
#

it doesn't work

#

i pressed like every button on my keyboard

real jacinth
#

did you read the readme

wheat orchid
#

If you created one, try restarting the game and loading the file, it breaks when creating a file so you need to create one, exit, then load it

short carbon
#

everything works like vanilla expect i have the gun on

wheat orchid
#

Could you answer the above question?

short carbon
#

oh yeah i created a new one

wheat orchid
#

So do the instructions and see if it works

short carbon
#

k

#

still doesn't work

#

so is there anything i can do

real jacinth
#

does the focus button swap to the gun

short carbon
#

nope

real jacinth
#

what patch are you on

short carbon
#

1.4.3.2

real jacinth
#

can you screenshot your title screen

short carbon
real jacinth
#

you need modcommon

short carbon
#

oh ok

#

nevermind

ripe musk
#

is there a new API out that works ?

#

oh sorry nvm

austere imp
#

where do you install skins for Hollow knight

#

?

real jacinth
#

in your game files

austere imp
#

i am just asking if there is some web with skins to chose from

digital cobalt
#

is there a bingo mod on the modinstaller?

real jacinth
#

what are you looking for

digital cobalt
#

The one where you get kind of goals

#

not the UI

real jacinth
#

there is no mod for that

#

it's just a website

digital cobalt
#

ohh

real jacinth
digital cobalt
#

thanks

random gorge
#

I read the Random Pantheons mod ReadMe, but I have some doubts. Is the Random Pantheons Mod's effect reversible? If yes, how can I revert it?

ivory aurora
#

Wdym is it reversible

#

Isn't the effect just shuffling boss order

#

Once you disable the mod it just doesn't shuffle

real jacinth
#

no

random gorge
#

A simple question just for confirmation: To disable Randomizer 3 is it only necessary to disable the mod in the installer? Now that I've typed it in, this seems like a pretty dumb question.

limber egret
#

Your expectation is correct

#

But don't open that save file again

random gorge
limber egret
#

You can just not open it

#

Then when you install Rando again you can continue

random gorge
molten knoll
#

anyway to make custom maps using scarab?

limber egret
#

You cannot make mods using scarab

#

You need to program them, and once finished you can add them to scarab for people to use.

radiant ridge
#

hi everybidy

#

i wanna install the modinstaller2 does that require me to put in a different version of the game?

#

i actually am only interested in custom skins

#

so if you have a mod launcher that doesn't require me to downpatch to the beta it would be great

molten knoll
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
radiant ridge
#

ye sadly it doesn't say if scarab has custom skins

#

all it says is that modinstaller 1 and 2 both need 1.4.3.2

#

while scarab work with 1.5, but does it support custom skins?

#

that's what i am only interested in

neon marten
radiant ridge
#

ok so it does work with the latest version of the game?

neon marten
#

Yes

radiant ridge
#

scarab install tutorial?

#

opening .exe is enough?

molten knoll
#

yes

radiant ridge
#

sick

#

now

#

how do i import custom skins?

#

also

#

do i ahve to open scarab.exe every time i launch hollow knight or is it an automatic thing?

#

is the procedure the same shown in modinstaller tutorials?

limber egret
#

Scarab is only used to download mod, you don't need it open during play

#

You just open it, then click the mods you want. You will need custom Knight and satchel

radiant ridge
#

download the skin then drag it in the folder

limber egret
#

After you've downloaded the mod head to your game files. There will be a custom Knight folder in there now

#

Add your skins into that folder, following the same structure as the default skin

Download skins and put them in your custom Knight folder

(Your custom Knight folder is located in your mods folder, which scarab has a button to open)

The mods are in scarab

You need: SereCore, Vasi, Qol, Benchwarp, and ModCommon

The fixes I know of are:

  1. Uninstall Easy Mode
  2. Disable the "NoShade" setting
  3. Download a mod that places you back at dirtmouth every time you die/relog

You downpatch again if you didn’t make a backup of the file the ModdingApi replaces

#

Unless you mean version 1.4.3.2

ripe musk
#

huh im in a 1.2.2.1 and how to i get rid of the modding APi

wheat orchid
#

I already gave you instructions?

pliant lantern
#

They already answered you?

#

O.o

#

You downpatch again if you didn’t make a backup of the file the ModdingApi replaces

native ice
#

If you downpatched by the Steam betas you should just be able to verify game integrity, right?

native ice
#

Since they added 1.2.2.1 to the betas list recently

wheat orchid
#

They did?????

pliant lantern
#

yeah

wheat orchid
#

Well imma go now

huh cool

you've clicked installed by a lot at once

topaz trout
#

is there a tutorial or something to install scarab?

#

i can't seem to find anything on youtube

#

every modding tutorial includes downpatching

native ice
# topaz trout is there a tutorial or something to install scarab?

It's rather new, and it's simple enough. Just go to the link in the pins, click the download link titled with what OS you're on ("Windows.zip/Mac.zip/Linux.zip"), go to your downloads, unzip the folder, move the unzipped folder to your desktop, and run scarab .exe

topaz trout
#

right

#

windows defender is being annoying

#

okay it seems to be working

#

thanks for the help

#

i assumed it would be much harder

#

it crashed when i tried to install debugmod

native ice
#

Is your game open right now?

topaz trout
#

ah

#

the other installer worked when the game was open

#

so i assumed this one would also work

#

what is satchel?

native ice
# topaz trout what is satchel?

Satchel is a dependncy, and never leave the game open when installing mods or changing files, that can cause problems. Same goes for most things not HK related, don't try and change the files a program is using while the program is running

topaz trout
#

alright, will keep that in mind

reef epoch
#

hey im new here. For some reason the mod installer when i try to download it it says the game needs to be the most recent version to run

#

My hollow knight is the most recent idk what it wants

topaz trout
#

ah

#

the "most recent" refers to 1.4 i believe

#

not 1.5

dense shuttleBOT
topaz trout
#

so i had a save on 1.5.75

#

i made a backup and modded a new instance

#

this was a few days ago

#

there was a patch yesterday to 1.5.78

#

now i cant open that save

weary frigate
#

does anyone here know how to work custom knight?

topaz trout
#

which version?

weary frigate
#

i have it instaled, and enabled on verstion 1.4.3

topaz trout
#

right

#

go to options > mods > customknight

weary frigate
#

and i have skins installed in the right folder, i looked up a tutorial

topaz trout
#

ingame

weary frigate
#

but i can't find the menu to select one

native ice
weary frigate
#

yeah

topaz trout
#

the save file says 1.5.75

#

idk what to make of this

topaz trout
native ice
topaz trout
#

no?

native ice
weary frigate
topaz trout
#

yeah mine looks like that

native ice
weary frigate
#

yes

topaz trout
#

i assumed its similar

native ice
#

It's not

topaz trout
#

welp

weary frigate
#

i can work it on 1.5 but on 1.4.3 i can't

native ice
#

That whole menu doesn't exist

weary frigate
#

in the tutorial i saw, there was a menu on the left

native ice
weary frigate
#

that doesn't exsist for me

native ice
#

Switching between versions can cause some issues, you should close the game and then (if you're on windows) run this bat

weary frigate
#

wdym run this bat

topaz trout
#

alright, i'll let you know what happens

topaz trout
weary frigate
#

oh

native ice
#

^

topaz trout
#

dont worry about it

weary frigate
#

ok

topaz trout
#

it still launches in 1.2.2.1

native ice
# topaz trout did i lose the file?

You may have, your save file is just the User#.dat, that's the only one that matters and that the game reads, the User.dat.bak are backups that you shouldn't rely on, and the User#.dat_(version number) are just kinda there, I'm not certain what they do but it isn't your save

pliant lantern
topaz trout
#

my main menu says 1.2.2.1

#

and i dont know what the spaghetti icon is supposed to mean

pliant lantern
#

Can you post a screenshot

topaz trout
#

alright

pliant lantern
#

Also, do you have multiple copies installed?

native ice
#

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood your problem

#

or wait

#

I'm confused now
