i do, and i checked all of them
No. If you mean the installer, put it on your desktop
Would you mind explaining exactly what the problem you're having is?
i had a save file, which i now cannot find on any of my copies
the one thats supposed to be on 1.5 is opening on 1.2
and i can see the user files in appdata
Then you should probably just reinstall and resetup your multiple instances
Saves aren't stored in those folders.
They are all stored in the appdata folder.
Usually, you can only open a save in a version of hollowknight that is newer than the save itself.
And as for the save file, if it's not in with your other saves, and you backed up the User#_(version numbers).dat file, instead of the User#.dat file, it may be lost
is it still not working?
Did you download and run what I told you to?
i did
nothing seems to have changed
was talking to the other person
i was talking about this
on this message, do you see this?
Yes, that was for the other person, not you
you said that was for blamnk
there seems to be some confusion
yes
Woops
i will wait for blamnk's problem to be solved
thank you
ping me when its done
Yea sorry, misread your names
Just download and run this @weary frigate
While your game is closed
ok
is there a way to check if any of these are the right ones?
Do you know what number it was supposed to be after the "user"?
- what save slot was it?
- what version was it?
1.5.75, on save slot 1
the copy that it was on doesn't even open in the right version though
i see this now
oh wait
it loaded
You can test them all just make a copy of a user1 file, v then rename the copy user1.dat, then launch Hollow Knight in the 1.5 version (not the 1221 one).
Open the file and see if it's right.
If not, delete the user1.dat file and try the next
i still don't see how to enable it tho
Because the one you think you're launching, isn't the one you're launching
If you didn't add the steamapp id to that folder, then it is launching the default one
Use Verify Integrity
No
Your "main" install was 1221
Verify Integrity forces steam to check the files to see if they match what they should be
Since they don't match, it's re-downloading them
so now its updating that save to 1.5
and my save should be recognised
theoretically
Install, not save
right
You currently don't have any saves set to slot 1, from what I see
can i convert that backup into the save?
Yes, that's what I was saying you should do
alright
.
^
i assume that i take the one with the largest file size
and remove the numbers and the .bak
I would just go in order, personally
wait there isnt a .bak
But you do whatever you want lol
You have like 8 files to check
Time played is irrelevant afaik
A save is just a big list of things you could have done, marked as either true or false
right
Only mods should make a save bigger
so it should be the same size
lmao i was right though
the biggest file was my save
i got it back, thanks
congrats
danke
so, while that was happening, i reinstalled custom knight and moved over my skin files
and i still can't find anyway to swich skin
Are you on windows btw?
yes
Hm, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't be there except for the globalsettings files, maybe try manually deleting them.
Do you know where your save files are?
Press Windows + R on your keyboard, and paste in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ and click ok
Yes that's benchwarp
oof
alrt
Close your game btw
Delete the "CustomKnight.globalsettings" files
there are 2
delete em
Open the game and test it
I'm not sure then
is there like some hotkey that make the menu open/close?
cuz i remember seeing some sort of menu on the left when i first got it then i selected a skin that didn't exist and i had no hud so i restarted the game with custom knight disabled
yeah
Do you have satchel?
Wait 1.4 or 1.5?
1.4.3.2
it does not show up
But I can't keep up with dandy's update anymore so I can be wrong
Could you send modlog.txt?
witch one?
Just modlog.txt, it should be in the same folder as your saves
this?
*confusion
Now to wait so long before he arrives that I solve the problem myself 
Lets see, 1.4 does not have a fancy modmenu iirc, so it has to be found right as you press esc, on the left side of the screen
i understood that much from the tutorial i watched
but
this menu doesn't exsist
Can you find a mod called satchel on the modinstaller?
i will search
I highly doubt it but we can try
i think so yeah
Ig we'll have to wait for dandy
Idk
cuz its kinda 12:41 am for me, so...
you can always continue tomorrow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
true
that does mean i won't be able to play as zote tomorrow in any of my classes while wearing a HK zote shirt but it is what it is
thanks for the help tho
ps. dandy if your reading this and know a solution ping me with it or DM, thank you
;i
the NRE is QoL though
possible things to try : remove all mods and keep only CK & modcommon and verify that your directory structure is right
i.e Mods/CustomKnight/Skin folder/pngs
let me know if that works
how to heal with gun mod?
Read the readme
You need to get multiple consecutive hits to build up adrenaline
where is the readme
And then at max adrenaline get more hits to heal
ok thanks
how do i use multiplayer mod?
so i just downloaded the hollow knight mod installer, but it keeps saying This installer requires the most ecent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again. what does it mean and how do i solve it?
you downpatch
Well thats the problem. i... dont know how
The downpatch guide is the third pinned message
You can also use Scarab, which is the up to date mod installer
ok thanks
uh
no..
user2, user3 & user4 are .json for me (and so was user1)
if you have QoL mod, those are generated
ah, I see
.json files are decrypted save files
they are not your actual saves
QoL also re-encrypts the .json files back into the .dat format so the game can read it (if changes are made)
so i have to dowgrade my game now, yay
why
to enable QoL?
QoL is on scarab
plus, if all you need is to edit your saves, you can use the bloodorca.io site
if you mean disable then i have done this and it hasn't helped
ok
btw, while people are here, how do i copy HK on steam so i have the game for both 1.5 and 1.4.3?
you copy all game files, then do the multiple installed patches section/paragraph of the downpatching guide
?guides
i have done this and reopend HK, and i still can't seem to find the CK menu
What aspect ratio is your game/screen?
ok
HECK
🐌
yeah, try a normal resolution
change to 1920x1080
ok
there is no option for 1920x1080
small laptop?
yep
unfortunate
doesn't work?
The higher the better that bit isn't important
^
But 39 what
HZ
i see
still nothing
damn i gtg so this will have to wait for later
thanks for helping tho
does anyone have the link for the modinstaller
?pins

Which mod installers would you peeps recommend. (I have windows btw)
Well, there's only 1 current patch installer (Scarab).
So probably that one, unless your want to play a mod that's not updated to current patch yet.
everytime I try to install the windows zip from github, I don't see any file to open. What do I do?
did you look in downloads
how to hide this text?
F1
thanks
hey dudes big guy here i just updated scarab to 1.5.0 and the custom knight mod suddenly disappeared from my game menu
or just the mod menu in general
@oblique monolith screenshot scarab
basically the mods tab when i press esc and go to options disappeared
after i updated scarab
where do i download the mod installer
pins
screenshot your main menu and scarab. looks like your api is not active
where do i download the mod installer
that could be the case
pins
The pinned messages
yeah the api isn't active i get it now
?pins
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
won't show up on the top left i believe
thanks
My internet is lagging really badly…..
I think I had the same issue, try disabling/reenabling something in scarab? Don't recall exactly
screenshot your scarab
you've been asked 3 times now
Disable and reenable the ModdingApi probably
I love modding help
this is what i have enabled as of right now
not sure what satchel does but it's been there since i updated it
satchel is a support mod
you need dependencies
Satchel is required for some other mods to work (many other mods are like this)
is randomizer only available in patch 1.4.3.2?
yes
ok, thanks
what happens to my current saves if i downgrade to 1.4.3.2? do i need to back them up just in case?
yes. reopen it
do randomizers work with scarab?
no
damn
1.4.3.2 only
is there any way I can have both the current version and the 1.4.3.2 patch available to play at the same time?
like here?
Not sure, that's a steam issue
aight
Yes there is
?guides Check the downpatch guide here. There is a section on multiple installs.
Use the regular beta method to get the patch you want, and simply copy the game files using this method
j
so i downloaded the angel knight skin from the "CustomKnight" folder in the pins, but it just appears as a regular file, what did i do wrong, or is it supposed to be that?
nvm i think i downloaded the wrong one
Tried it, and then this happened
You didn't copy all the files, probably
I see
uhh angel knight 1.1 changed my main screen's background
did i press something or what
Screenshot it
alright, imma try this again
This one is on you. You must've clicked something by accident
There's literally no way for it to do that by itself.
yeah i figured that
can someone explain why custom knight isn't working for me?
not without context
so every time i attempt to equip a skin it dosn't work and stays defalt
There is a pinned message
Either you are missing mod common on 1.4 or Satchel on 1.5, your file structure is incorrect, or both
how can i install a randomizer?
with the 1.4 patch installers
Third pinned message then the first pinned message.
@limber egret @real jacinth yo it works now, thanks a bunch for your help
i downloaded randomizer3.0 and put the dll file in the mods folder (i have the serecore dll in the mods folder too) and booted up the game, but the randomizer menu doesnt appear
is there any steps i missed or is the method im using outdated
just use the installer
b/c it's not ported to 1.5 yet
so downloading the mod and putting it into your game files is not going to magically make it work
what installer do i use then
you have to be on 1.4 for rando
oh
so, downpatch your game, and use installer 1 or 2
lemme downpatch then
Check the third pinned message, then the first pinned message
1.4.2.4 or 1.4.3.2
Latter
help
Is satchel installed and enabled?
yeah shoud i renstall it
CustomKnight on 1.5 requires it
its working now i just had to reinstall it
so this isn't about modding but a save of mine has corrupted and I'm not sure if their is a way to fix it, so I was wondering if anyone knew?
there*
did you save any backups beforehand?
if not im not sure, i just backed mine up in case that happens
nope
idk :(
I'm the one who's having the problem
he asked for me cuz he knows the discord better than me
i think hk automatically saves a backup so try going to your game files and checking if theres a backup there?
im not too sure tho
%AppData%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
do windows + r and paste that
there should be a bak file and thats the backup i believe
see if that works
so I installed modinstaller, and hollow knight starts to boot, but stops about half way and ends the .exe
Can someone send the link for getting the mod installer?
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
i wouldnt really call this modding help but at the same time this channel seems to be fitting the most.
so a while ago I had problems with input delays on older versions of the game (modded every time, the only mod in common I had was debug mod tho), did some testing and it feels like that the game is just way smother on the public beta and I also cant notice any input delays on that. Downpatching it, even just using 1.4.3.2, seems to cause some minor but significant input delays which I dont quite understand, its just super annoying to play with and maybe its just always been that way and Im spoiled, might also be mods or something, but it really does feel like the game has a little more delay on inputs and its also quite noticable in my gameplay, if anyone else also noticed something similar and maybe also found a solution for it, i would really appreciate some help.
(also gonna go to sleep now, pretty damn late over here, if you have questions, just ask, Ill answer tomorrow)
I need help
Me and my friend wanna play hk multiplayer so we downloaded Hkmp. However whatever we do only one of us can connect to the server. We are using Port:26950
anyone got a mod that lets me customize CDash damage? Editing the file doesnt work, it just sets back to 10.
can someone help me install the randomizer mod
are you on patch 1432
@hoary knoll ^
???
the game
there are 2 different patches you could be on right now, 1.5.78 or 1432
game versions
randomizer mod is only available in 1.4

3rd one
im on scarab btw
randomizer isnt on scarab yet
hence why you need to downpatch
it's on the old modinstaller
what
nvm
ok so
i have 1.4
but it keeps on resetting my game
like
its crashing
ojk
it works now
so
im trying to have 2 vertions of HK, one on 1.5 one on 1.4
however my 1.4 one is broken
i was on 1.4 then i copyed the HK folder and went on steam to update it back to 1.5
the 1.5 folder of HK works fine but the 1.4 one has this message when i open it
any help?
i don't have any save files i care about, so if progress gets lost that's fine
ping me if you can help, please and thank you
@weary frigate Did you follow the directions for multiple patches here? https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/jlten
When I try to make a multiworld randomizer, it doesn't work. It just laags for a second and then the Multiworld option stays as "NO". Is the multiworld just incompatible with this version of Randomizer and if yes, which randomizer version is the most recent working one for multiworld?
I downpatched to 1.4.3.2, installed all the dependencies, and Randomizer version 3.12c(893) and Multiworld 0.1.1
iirc that happens if the ip is wrong
how do I fix it?
have the right IP 😤
Or what is the correct IP? I think I remember there was a public server?
yeah there is, but i can't remember where to even find it at this point
i will look for it
thank you, I will also ask around
https://github.com/Shadudev/HollowKnight.MultiWorld/tree/v0.1.1 found right under the "setting up a server" section, i believe that is the correct IP
tagged for convenience
Alas, it does not work :/
just to be clear you have MultiWorldProtocol.dll, RandomizerLib3.0.dll, and RandomizerMod3.0.dll in your mods folder right
Yes, but they seemed to have been the wrong version. I downloaded the version pinned in #randomizer and it works now, thank you!
poggers champion
It's sadly pretty outdated, I was hoping to have some cool stuff like split claw and cloak in multiworld, but I guess that's not a thing yet
hi i need help
with?
have you read the pin about it?
yea
im using mod installer 2 and im on version 1.4.3.2
its also not collecting any geo for some reason
now there is no longer a mods tab
idk what's happening anymore lmao
Ok i have mods again but the skins aren't loading
are there people i can @ for like help?
Screenshot the pause menu
Tmk it’s preferred unless told by somebody (usually if you’re in the middle of being helped) that you wait
I used to do a bunch of randomizers like a year or something ago but I can't get anything to work now lmao
^
What happens when you click on a skin name
nothing just a glare on the default skin then it stays the same
Screenshot the inside of a skin folder you’re switching to
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)

Where is that data folder at
(Good timing mickely, I gtg)
Do none of the skins work? Or only some. And the data folder is the hollow knight data folder in the address bar of you're screenshot
What folders are above that
Also also, your modlog is talking about doh mod. Do you have that installed too
yea i do, but i never clicked on it. also none of the skins work
i just uninstalled that mod
new mod log
do i need anything other than modcommon for qol and benchwarp?
Vasi
Ty trying that rn
Got the little unity load bar on startup which I wasn't before but the game immediately crashes & closes itself. Rebooting
Try closing HK, running this script once, then launching HK again
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/900956017951649822/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
Note: This script removes "mod settings" files, which sometimes get broken and cause mods to not work right
When i change my skin the game crashes, does anyone know anything?
im currtently playing last hk version
Rip still doesn't work :/
For both @empty crag and @runic heath , can you post these two files:
ModLog.txt and Player.log
You can easily get to this folder by pressing WinKey + R, then copy and pasting %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ into the text field, and pressing OK
i ve downgrade to 1.4.3.2, so i have no problem now
Is this everything in that folder???
Uh... Do you not have any saves?
i guess they got deleted lol its fine
I mean, you can. I'm definitely confused as to why your folder is so empty though, tbh.
Usually you don't need to completely re-install-- rather using steam's "Verify Integrity" should work
Doing this
Its just loading in unmodded now lol
-
Make sure you're using the current Multiplayer mod:
<#archived-modding-help message> -
You may need to reset your global settings files. They are in your save data folder, which you can find the path for by typing
?savesin chat. Alternatively, this file will do it automatically for you: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/900956017951649822/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
people using Custom knight on 1.4.32: don't use the killer whale skin, it will break the whole mod and you will need to delete the killer whale skin folder and reopen the game to fix (note: this might be only me cuz i suck)
How do I fix it when it says that it needs the current version, but I have it updated to the current version?
Cuz it won't even lemme get into the mod installer

I don't think anything is wrong with my mods but I can't seem to find the white palace custom map anywhere. I found Gods home map just fine. I'm think I missed it but does anyone know the location of the white palace map?
Are you on 1.4 or 1.5?
1.4 I believe it's in the secret room after the White Fragment. 1.5 I believe it's near the first bench.
I just found it, I was version 1.5. Thanks.
is there a way to give yourself infinite notches using the debug mod from scarab
is there a multiplayer mod
which one is mutiplayer
How do I use scarab?
does anyone know where i could download Fyremoth/what installer its compatible with?
download it, open it, click enable api, install mods
not published yet i think
Oh thanks
Do I just reinstall Scarab now
can i use the benchwarp mod to teleport to any bench, not just my respawn point?
I think
oh nvm, i need to sit on that bench first so it's unlocked
Yes
You can also unlock all benches
I also get this problem
Scarab is nothingness
To both of you, then:
- What OS are you using?
- What did you download?
- Where did you get Hollow Knight?
why doesn't my enemy randomizer work
it doesn't allow the game to launch for some reason
the game is just loading for an indefinite amount of time
See my previous message
?
You will need to answer those questions
windows
debug mod
enemy rando
modcommon moddingapi
qol vasi
gog
Have you downpatched?
???
I already downpatched
the thing is the game is not loading at all
as soon as I load enemy rando
Oh, right
Enemy rando just takes a long time to load
When you said "The game won't load" it sounded like you meant the game won't open at all
Not your saves
it's been 10 minutes and nothing happened
the game starts but it's just the knight running in bottom right
- Windows
- Scarab
- Steam
anyone knows which is save fiile 1? i ment the one that is on the top of the select screen

How do I active Mantis Gods? Does it not work in Godseeker Mode?
try sisters of battle?

If you're on 1.5, I think it simply isn't working at the moment
Mantis lords best fight
I'm using Scarab
idk why it doesn't work for me either
even on 1.4
hmm intersting
I wanted to try out Redwing but the mod installer tells me to use Blackmoth too
Is it a necessity ?
Do they say it's required
I don't remember which way around, but one is the base mod and the other is made solely to make the other mod better.
I would play with both active.
iirc
Blackmoth makes your nail work like shade slash or something
(I forgot the name of the charm)
But I don't know if I like that 
Sharp Shadow?
Excuse me?
I think it's the charm that makes your shade dash hurt
Thats just 0 notch sharp shadow-
I don't know what it does with Redwing
And are there some compatibility issues between mods
Like if I want to use Charm Overhaul on top of Redwing, will some charms break ?
Hey so I'm having trouble with the Custom Knight mod, I'm running version 1.4.3.2 but the mod UI isn't showing up in-game
I already downloaded a skin into the files (the sapphire one) as well
Yes
Screenshot your pause screen
Head to your save files and delete any file that ends in "globalsettings.json"
Shouldn't matter
it's still not showing up
is there a mod for ModManager that gives me all the maps + infinite wayward compass?
Compass Always On does the compass one
There's a mod called vanilla map mod. Not sure if it's made its way to the installer yet and been finished, though.
Hmm. You could instead get QoL and just change the cost of Compass to be 0
But yeah, weird.
how can I do that?
Get QoL mod.
Open the save you want to edit.
Close your game.
Go to your saves folder.
Open UserN.json (where N is the save file slot for the file you want to edit, top being 1, bottom 4).
Search the file for compass and you'll see a notch cost nearby.
Change it to zero, save, close.
Open your game and it should cost 0 now.
I'm really sorry I keep needing help
This is the only instance of Wayward Compass in this file
what would the cost be?
and this as well
@pearl pawn Are you playing on HK version 1.4? In that case, try this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835442768008183838/882947433796087828/CompassAlwaysOn.dll
I'm having a dumb moment - how do I install mods with scarab?
Err what are you planning this with, and are you definitely opening the user1.json file?
Download scarab
Extract the file
Open scarab
Click mods
I mean in the exe itself
I've tried ticking the "installed" button
But that crashes scarab
Where is your scarab downloaded, and did you extract the folder?
Installed in a subfolder I made in the hollow knight directory
I think it might have the wrong path
Yep that was the issue
need help please
there is a glitcj in my game that makes me only heal twice even wiht full soul, if i have 1 third or even 2 thirds i can heal only once so the only way to use the last third is gettong more souls so i have more than a third o having less than two thirds, i have tried restarting the game i have also tried on a new savefile ( so it isn't a savefile issue) and reinstalling the game but it is still there, i have already tested fixing the savefile too but the issue persist, someone said it is the lag but my game runs smooth
Look in the pins for the Hollow Point fix message.
It also fixes this bug.
you have to quit the game before applying mods to it
it happened to me
Nah, scarab was just pointing to the wrong folder, so it was autoexceptoning
oh
can't find it could you tell me witch is?
los of thanx
is that mispelled? autocorrect said it was like that
wait dude it is the thing where i have to set that one value to 33 i have already done that
Describe your issue instead
i have my scarab and everything
but my game load as if it like reinstalled from steam
Did you open scarab?
so my mod intaller doesnt have mods and the path is non existing but when i deleted ModInstaller in local i did nothing
Can you send a screenshot of the whole window?
and is scarab the new modloader?
There's stuff in the bottom left
Oh, right
Scarab is the installer for the current patch of the game
ah alright
lemme just download that
and..
now it doesnt see the path as correct
anyway gtg
be back in some time
its fix now thanks
i believe if you just select the folder Hollow Knight instead of the data folder itself it should work
Just for confirmation. It is not recommended to open a save changed by Exaltation mod with the mod disabled, right?
idk
On 1.5: Make sure you have Satchel
On 1.4: Make sure you have mod common
Also make sure your file structure is correct. It must copy your default skin.
i have it
is there still no fix?
it just selects default one when i enter the save
Does Charm Overhaul's mod have its effect only reversed by disabling the mod, or are other actions necessary to reverse its effect?
Does Hollow Point not work anymore? It shows the mod in the list but the gun isnt even visible
nvm fixed it
I tried to Uninstall all of my mods but when I reopen the modinstaller it still shows that I have some
do mods work on game pass version?
no
Right click hollow knight in Steam
Properties
Local files
Verify integrity of game files
which installer is the best one to use, i see there are 3 of them (?)
ty
I Uninstalled & reinstalled everything. Went back to 1.4.3.2. Now when it loads I just get black screen w HK cursor. Never loads farther
Did this too
Don't open the installer after you do it
Opening the installer will reinstall the API
so set the mods, validate, then just open HK w modinstaller still closed? trying that
nope
yeah still no mods
i can get black screen or unmodded rn
what is sfcore for scarab
sfcore
ok but can i use that instead of seanprcore
sf oor seanpr
does installing mods work with the xbox version or just steam
I have questions and they have not been answered. 1 - Just for confirmation. It is not recommended to open a save changed by Exaltation mod with the mod disabled, right? 2 - Does Charm Overhaul's mod have its effect only reversed by disabling the mod, or are other actions necessary to reverse its effect?
seanprcore is outdated, use serecore
Not sure what mods its used for in general though
i remember using this website
to change the cost of charms
but i don't remember how to use it
i tried looking at pins
but i didn't find anything about it
on this patch https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/tag/v1.5.0.0 which one do i actually download? or do i download them all? really new to this
you download the one that fits your operating system
....how do i check that?
im clueless about this stuff
ooohhh
they are literally called windows/mac/linux
is there a way to fps cap the 1.2.2.1? because I have some horrinle input lag on un-fps-capped hollow knight
and there isnt the option in the settings to cap fps
You can set FPS limits per application in the NVIDIA Control Panel now
Not sure about Intel/AMD
otherwise you may have to use Rivatuner or similar
How do you make a skin mod?
Is it possible to play a room randomizer without the Items being rondom? If I set the items to be vannila or only randomize a few items the game crashes(doesnt want to start a new run)

how do i download the randomizer mod
?i
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
I'm doing a randomizer and I have just gotten "World Sense" what is that?
black egg ability
mod installer wont let me install Vasi
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you mean the ability to see the Black Egg + Dreamers?
I wouldn't know since I don't have any maps
you download the randomizer and start a new game
the mod installer says i need Vasi but wont let me install Vasi
is there any error or anything
?
?
what is the discord channel link for
your issue
ok so i have the mods downloaded but when i get in to the game its not random
i need help to
What would happen if I were to attempt to open a randomized save file without the randomizer mod?
It would break the save
im still trying to find out how to randomize the game
i have the mods downloaded and in the mods folder
Are your mods showing up on the title screen
but in game nothing is changed
Have you downpatched your game to 1.4.3.2?
You can but you won't need to
Read the third pinned message
ok thx
my screen is just black when i open the game
why does modding have to be so hard ahhhhhhhhhh
Have you downpatched yet?
yes
And opened your game on an unmodded 1432?
uh whats that
Patch 1432
oh
Is that the patch you clicked on when you downpatched?
yes
And did you open your game to make sure it worked?
Okay, that's a good start. And it opened and definitely said 1432 in the bottom left corner?
no its a blank, black screen
Okay right click your hollow knight install in Steam -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files
It should come up with a pop-up. Click okay or whatever and then try opening your game again.
hi quick question, is there any way to install the modinstaller for custom skins on a MacOS?
ok, thank you!
ok so what now that one file has failed to validate
Okay good, close it
What mod installer were you using?
And what operating system are you on?
Okay where did you get the installer? From the channel description?
yes
Okay open it
It should install the Modding API. Then open hollow knight
Let's see what happens
hi, sorry, new to installing this stuff, might need some more help. i clicked on the scarab, and tried to open it in finder but it gave me this message
whats should i do?
i clicked on the mac.zip
Did you unzip the file?
Also make sure you move it out of downloads
I think you can click the ? in the top right and then click "run anyway" or something similar?
Failing that you'll have to go to your firewall settings and tell your computer it's fine to open
when i enable mod API the game goes the black screen again
Verify integrity of game files again and use mod installer 2 instead from the pinned messages
You might have more luck
.
i cant rea
d
XD
god
i though tyou said instead of the one from the pinned messages
i need help for mods

after?
help what happen
Download the folder
Extract the folder
Run the exe
hi, another thing, i unzipped the file, moved it out of downloads, told firewall its okay to run, and tried to click it to open but it just wont open. like at all. theres no message of anything, i just click and it does nothing. can you tell me what to do?
You definitely downloaded the version for Mac?
i clicked on the mac.zip file
i hate that
Beyond that a restart might be in order?
what do you mean?
Just restart your computer and see if it can open after a restart
.
sorry to bother again, i restarted my mac and tried to open the scarab again and i got this message
I assume reopen is just sending you back to this message?
yes
:/
sorry to cause trouble, but is there anything else i could do or no?
I don't have a tonne of experience with Macs, so I can only give general advice
The other option is to downpatch to 1.4.3.2 (third pinned message) and then try mod installer 2 instead.
that is compatible with macOS?
okay, i will try that, thank you for the help so far!
Which is linked in the first pinned message. Scarab does work on Macs, so I'm not sure what the issue is here.
(Obviously, or else there wouldn't be a link for it.)
aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA
Hopefully somebody with Mac experience will see this and be able to help. 😔
the true path of pain
WAIT
WAIT
IT OPENED
is this what its supposed to look like?
TamiJo pls come back aaaaaaaaahhhhhh
I'm back
You need to click update API
Then just click install on whatever mods you want
its greyed out and wont let me click?
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
steam
Is it installed in the default location?
default location you mean as...
Like have you moved your hollow knight install or is it just wherever steam put it?
its wherever steam put it
Okay right click hollow knight in Steam -> properties -> local files -> browse local files
Then check that the file path matches the game files path listed below
?saves

If it isn't, you'll need to click "change path" and direct it to whatever steam has put it.
If it is then I don't know.
It should just sort of work.
um, when i click on the browse files part, it just opens up this in my finder
Why do Macs not have an address bar. Why is nothing easy.
lmao
Just for confirmation. Can the effect of the Charm Overhaul mod be reversed by disabling the mod in the installer, or would other actions be required? I've been asking this question for a while, but I haven't gotten any answers.
I'm honestly stumped as to why it isn't working. Make sure the scarab folder is on your desktop, then try to just close and reopen it. It's 1:00 so I'm off to bed. Sorry we couldn't get it sorted.
its ok! thank you for your help, get some rest!
Charm editing mods will usually only change effects while they are active, but things like notch costs may stay changed.
just got the mod installer and it's saying i need the most recent stable version
what should i do to fix it?
If there are changes in the cost of charms, it would be necessary to edit this somehow, right? If yes, how?
QoL mod (get it, it's just a really good mod anyway) will generate a JSON file for your save. You can edit almost every aspect of your save data in that file.
Ok. So I could enable the QoL mod and edit the values in the game files, right? Could you tell where exactly can I find this .json? Is it somewhere a quick search could find it or is it more complicated?

It will be called "User1.json" if it's the top save file, 2/3/4 for the other save files.
Ok. Thanks for the help.
uhhhh, i instaled the mods, and now my game wont open, did i break it?
I didn't find the save files. Is it hidden somehow or am I not looking right?

3rd one
thank you

So, i have the hollow point and am playing it currently. I just have no idea on how to shoot.
Tapping cast does nothing for some reason.
shoot is same bind as nail iirc
Apparently not, just makes me swing the nail normally.
