reading the modinstaller readmes are important

#

If you're playing with gun mod installed but not on then you need the hollow point fix

#

Are there any room/item randomisers on scarab?

native ice

For mac: Open spotlight (I believe the hotkey is command + Space), type in "Terminal", paste in open ~/Library/Application\ Support/unity.Team\ Cherry.Hollow\ Knight/ and hit enter, then delete all the "Globalsettings" files

You are missing Vasi as a dependency

and QoL

solid ingot
#

i have them enabled tho

spice vine

Then they aren't properly installed

solid ingot
#

vasi in

#

qol in

spice vine
#

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling them on ModInstaller?

solid ingot
#

just then

#

it didnt work

spice vine
#

if that doesn't work, you should delete your Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods folder and reinstall all the mods again

solid ingot
#

where is that?

#

im new to moding

spice vine
#

\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

#

At wherever steam is installed

For scarab custom kngiht do I just put the killer whale over the default folder

pliant lantern

I got it working

It is not working

native ice

In what way?

dense isle

So the mod menu says I selected the killer whale skin

#

I log into my 101 save

#

Default skin

#

I check back the mod menu

#

it says default

#

💀

native ice
#

change it in-game

#

Also try pressing the "Fix skin" button

dense isle
#

Oh nevermind

#

I just had to go to that save

and activate the skin from there

Verify your game integrity then open scarab

mighty adder
#

how i do that?

#

srry, im new in modding :p

native ice
#

go to your steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

mighty adder
#

oh, thats a problem, i dont have the legal version 😦

native ice
#

Then that's why it's not working

mighty adder

oh really?

native ice

Buy the game

mighty adder

well, i guess i will

#

thanks anyway 🙂

native ice

It goes on sale frequently, you can wait for one if money is tight. Make sure you get it from either Steam or GoG

mighty adder

yup, i will check 🙂

mint junco

how do you manually install mods with scarab?

native ice

mint junco
#

should i make a folder for them as well? the others are in folders

native ice

That I couldn't tell you, but what mod are you trying to install btw?

native ice
mint junco
#

decoration master, wanna try some maps

native ice

That's for 1.4.3.2

#

It won't work on 1.5

mint junco
#

well heck

#

downpatch time

dense isle
native ice
#

inside that folder

dense isle
native ice
#

That's the problem, the pngs for the skin should be inside that folder

#

But they're buried deeper, in what looks to be a zipped folder

#

Keep opening folders till you find the Knight png file

#

There has been an update to DeBug mod since I last used it and now I can't figure out how to make savestates.

# dense isle
  1. open the hollow_knight_Data folder, and then Managed and then Mods and then Custom Knight,
  2. Move all the images inside that folder to your desktop, go back up to the main Custom Knight folder
  3. create a new folder
  4. put the images into that folder

Is the glass soul mod available for 1.4.3.2? It seems that the latest patch for that mod is 1.2.2.1, on the moddb.com website. I noticed that the mod is on the 1.5 compatible mod list, which made me wonder if I can somewhere find downloads for newer versions.

native ice
dreamy topaz
# native ice it's in the pins

On the latest pin, there is a list of mods that are supported in 1.5, however, no download links. In an earlier pin, there is a link to a community google drive with mods. That google drive doesn't contain the glass soul mod. What pin are you refering to?

This one @dreamy topaz

i downpatched to 1.4.3.2 and installed modinstaller 2, i enabled the randomizer 3 mod and runned the game, but i dont see the randomizer menu, is it somewhere else than the regular "choose save file" option to play the game, or do i have to verify my files and then download the mod?

#

should i try modinstaller 1 then

native ice

#

?

native ice
#

Open the "Options" menu, and tell me if there's a "Mods" tab

stoic trench
#

i already checked it

#

there isnt

native ice

Then open the mod installer, search for "Modding API" and check if it says "Out of date!"

If it does click the orange box

Thx

jagged laurel
#

what version should I put my game onto to play the randomizer? It tells me that my game is not up to date

#

"This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again." is what it says when I try to launch the mod installer

spice vine
#

So if you haven't downpatched, you will need to via the game properties on Steam

jagged laurel
#

will the randomizer still work if I am on a previous version?

spice vine
jagged laurel
#

I do have a legitimate copy. Thank you for the help, I am changing the version back to 1.4.3.2

spice vine
#

No problem. Only reason I ask is a lot of people that have trouble accessing a specific version don't have a legitimate copy

spare junco
#

can someone explain?

spice vine
#

You need to install Satchel as well, it is a dependency

spare junco
#

oh

#

i see

#

i mean

#

where can i download that?

spice vine
#

Are you using Scarab? It allows for easy installation of any mod

spare junco
#

yea

spice vine
#

Satchel should be there

#

oh

#

i thougt that was another application

#

in what folder do i put the skins?

limber egret

There's a pinned message with the file path, but it's:

#

do i loose anything for having hollow knight on GOG instead of steam for moding?

Nope

Works the same. The only difference is that your file paths will be slightly different when looking for things.

It should automatically install the ModdingApi which at that point you should be able to install any mod and have it work

Extract the folder to somewhere on your computer you'll find it easily, like your desktop
Open scarab.
The bottom left will have a button that says "enable modding API". Click that, then open hollow knight. If it opens and some text shows in the top left, it works! If not, then it probably won't with with this kind of install.

novel bronze
#

riverrobot could you help me with my issue please?

native ice
#

Try pressing backspace

novel bronze
#

doesnt work

novel bronze
#

ok so someone just put a dliscord link

#

and deleted it

#

tryna scam some ppl

#

lol

native ice
#

Yes

novel bronze
#

did u see who put it?

native ice
#

Spam bots are common

#

Mods probably banned them

novel bronze
#

good

native ice
#

You have 1.5 smol knight?

novel bronze
#

no 1.4.3

native ice
#

1.5 has big knight

novel bronze
#

k

#

Ill have to get that then

limber egret
novel bronze
#

can you have 1.5 installer and 1.4 installer on a single computer or is it not compatable?

native ice
#

You can

novel bronze
#

good

native ice
#

Just don't run the 1.4 installer while your game is on 1.5

limber egret
#

You will need two installs of hollow knight

#

One that is 1.4, one that is 1.5.

#

Or you can swap between them but you'll need to redownload the mods every time

native ice
#

Yea that's a good option, but you cana lso just have both installers sitting on your desktop

novel bronze
#

ok

#

I'll have that then

#

it says that scarab is a dangerous file

#

f

native ice
#

it's not

novel bronze
#

ik

#

thats the funny thing

#

I gotta say, besides not having randomizer yet, scarab is better than 1.4 modinstaller

#

ok the mods arent working

#

I load the game and theres nothing there

#

@native ice

limber egret
#

What did you do?

novel bronze
#

I installed scarab

#

got the mods I wanted

#

changed my game to 1.5

#

and it wont load the mods

limber egret
#

Did you change first or open scarab first?

novel bronze
#

open scarab first

native ice
#

Verify your game integrity and then re-open scarab

novel bronze
#

how do I do that?

limber egret
#

You shouldn't need to

#

Just open scarab

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

And click enable in the bottom left

novel bronze
#

ok

limber egret
#

You can't expect scarab to mod your 1.5 install if you didn't have a 1.5 install when you opened it

novel bronze
#

ok

wind basin
#

Is there a way to downpatch without reinstalling the beta patch

novel bronze
#

no

#

besides its not much trouble you have to go through to reinstall the beta ptach

limber egret
#

You can use the depot download method but that's just more steps for the same thing

indigo saffron
#

had to downpatch

#

alr

native ice
#

Or if your goal is to make it easier to switch between patches, it's possible to have multiple installs at the same time

indigo saffron
#

guys so how do you use the multyplayer mod ?

#

the one that comes whit modinstaller

native ice
#

This is for the one that comes with it, but that one is worse

#

theres no enable button on scarab

limber egret
#

Screenshot scarab

novel bronze
#

native ice
#

I use Windows + Shift + S

novel bronze
#

native ice
#

devout geode
#

Revertin’ back to unmodded but it says I gotta verify hk’s location again

#

Where do i go to do that again I forgot

real jacinth
#

right click game -> properties -> local files

devout geode
#

Thanks

#

It failed

#

Damn

#

Says it couldn’t be validated

real jacinth
#

?

#

did steam say a file failed to validate and will be reaquired?

devout geode
#

Yea but i just tried again and steam says it was successful this time

real jacinth
#

so it worked both times

#

the first time, it detected your modded file and replaced it with vanilla

#

the second time, it detected the vanilla one that it just reaquired

devout geode
#

Oh

#

So do I relaunch the mod installer now

real jacinth
#

no

#

your game is validated as vanilla now

#

so just play

devout geode
#

Ok

#

Thanks

#

Oh btw I wanna do vanilla but on current patch instead of 1.4.3.2

#

How do i do that

real jacinth
#

change your beta dropdown back to "none"

It won't

real jacinth
#

wheat orchid
#

Literally at the top of that message

pliant lantern
#

Randomizer isn't on current patch

wheat orchid
#

Plus you can actually view the supported mods on the installer

#

Can’t use randomizer on 1.5 yet

pliant lantern
#

For Randomizer, you would need to change to version 1432. The third or fourth pin has info on doing so with steam

#

And the mod installer you were trying to use has the current version of Randomizer

real jacinth
#

click the installed box

lost heath
#

does anyone know how to set up a perfect randomizer? What i mean byct is enemies, every part of map and items randomized all at once

real jacinth
#

use item randomizer

#

set it to room randomizer

#

and then use enemy randomizer

lost heath
#

i used item randomizer

#

but is enemy randomzier in mod installer?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

under E

#

for Enemy Randomizer

lost heath
#

thanks a lot!

#

the 2 i have enabled are correct, right?

well i created a new save and enemies werent randomized

do i need to set it up in some special way?

press the load enemies button on title screen

this button?

real jacinth

yes

#

i downloaded the scarab thing but is is zip file how do i mod hk with that

real jacinth
#

unzip it

#

and run the program

tacit prawn
#

hey! just modded and installed everything from the modinstaller, but when i create a modded save it works for a sec and then controls are inverted, my sprite comes and goes and nail is kinda buggy

#

im not entirely sure how to fix it

real jacinth
#

you installed every mod on the installer?

#

that's way too many mods

tacit prawn
#

nope, just the ones i wanted

real jacinth
#

which are....

tacit prawn
#

sorry, wrong phrasing

tacit prawn
real jacinth
#

screenshot your title screen

tacit prawn
#

okk

real jacinth
#

so.... WAY more than what you just said

#

you have entirely too many mods

#

and you're also using Chaos mod

tacit prawn
#

i didnt remember every one of them

#

ah ok

#

but dont i have to activate the chaos when i create a save?

real jacinth
#

get rid of those mods

#

chaos, charm notch, unofficial hk patch, and item changer

tacit prawn
#

sure!

real jacinth
#

chaos mod is it's own mod that creates chaos

#

like randomizing game physics

#

and other nonsense

#

like your controls

tacit prawn
#

ah ok

#

that makes sense

real jacinth
#

so what you're describing, is the mod working

tacit prawn
#

honestly its probably a misclick when downloading

#

thanks a ton!

novel flower
#

this is what i get when i unzip how do i run it

scarab.PNG
real jacinth
#

well, looks like you downloaded the mac one

#

should probably download the windows one

#

since you're on windows

novel flower
#

i downloaded the scarab thing and this was the only option

#

where is the windows one then

real jacinth
novel flower
#

ye i clicked code and then download as zip

#

do i download those files seperately

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

what

#

you clicked code?

pliant lantern
#

Why would you want the code?

real jacinth
#

you navigated away from the page that it brought you to

#

to the source code

novel flower
#

idk

#

idk how to use github

real jacinth
#

lol

i just did what google told me

mossy smelt
#

click the thing with the massive blue arrow next to it

real jacinth

#

ok thx

real jacinth
#

google told you to click the github link then click on code?

novel flower
#

cyren

real jacinth
novel flower
#

yes

#

it did

mossy smelt
real jacinth
#

lol

novel flower
#

man i never used github before ok

real jacinth
#

did you google scarab?

#

or click the link in pins

novel flower
#

i clicked the link

#

and i didnt know how to download it

#

and which file

#

so i googled it

#

and it told me to download the code thing

real jacinth
#

what did you google exactly

novel flower
#

how to download files from github

mossy smelt
#

you are on windows, yes? do ofc you want the windows version

pliant lantern
#

You probably found instructions for using GitHub to contribute to a project

novel flower
#

idk

#

maybe

real jacinth
#

it's the instructions to download the source code

#

which.... is what happened

#

but not what you wanted

novel flower
#

yes but i got it now thx

real jacinth
#

hmm.... not sure there's a good, simple way to prevent this

#

Maybe the easiest would be just recording a video for all modding faqs

mossy smelt
#

github is confusing to people who don't know much

real jacinth
#

The link does bring you right to the releases page. but this isn't the first person to have done this

#

plus, sometimes people don't know how to unzip

#

or what file to run

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

lol

#

I mean, it's something I could do quick tonight

#

since my streaming/recording setup still exists

#

and is ready

Sorry to hear that

I need help too. My goal is to play the latest randomizer.
To my knowledge is that randomizer 3 (but correct me if I am wrong 🙂 )
When I press play on steam with these settings the game still launches vanilla Hollow Knight.
What am I missing? Do I need to launch Hollow knight not trough steam?

unknown.png
real jacinth
#

did you start using the installer before changing your patch

low frigate
#

Yes

real jacinth
#

that's why then

#

you installed mods, then downpatching removed the api

#

^ do this

#

your installed box for modding api may say "out of date" after you open the installer again instead of auto installing. so press the box next to it to update it/install it again

low frigate
#

Thank you for the help. It works now :)))

where is that folder

is in programs

where'd you get the game from

do not download it on steam if you are not pirated

what

sudden geode

if he just didn't have money to buy it

real jacinth
#

so it's stolen

you can't mod stolen copies
