Then clear your globalsettings files, they can be found in with your saves ^

#

Clear as in just delete them, you should only need to delete the custom knight ones, but you might just wanna delete em all

Thank you! I got it to work now

I have a 112% run I just did and I want to do a rando. would it affect my 112% file and randomize that file and the new one?

So long as you don't open it with rando installed you will be fine

I downloaded a few custom skins but when I click on them they disappear, at one point it kicked me out of the game and said it was write protected? can anyone help me???

where'd you get the game from? what patch are you on? what installer are you using? did you check pins for common customknight troubleshooting?

So I'm trying to manually mod HK 1.4.3.2 on mac, but I want to keep another modded version of HK 1.5.(...), and I managed to create multiple instances of the game, each with their own directories and copies of the Modding API. The problem is that the only thing that shows up in the upper-left hand corner is the modding API

#

For now, I am testing with just HKMP and Randomiser version 3
The only reason I'm installing manually is because I can't seem to find a way to change the directory in ModInstaller2, so I may juse be being stupid about that
Edit: I just had to change path in Scarab, and it carried over to ModInstaller2

does anyone know why redwing does not work with randomizer 3?

i have charm notch mod, customknight, enemy hp bar, hollow point, and mod common

#

let me check real quick

#

can you send me a screen shot of the game with hollow point off?

rancid turtle
#

works now

#

its hollowpoint

slim plank
#

yeah

rancid turtle

how can i fix it

hollow point doesn't work on a fresh save

Hey dudes. I was trying to do an enemy randomizer but I think I'm missing something. I can send a screenshot of my mod folder if anyone has a sec to help me out. Been reading pinned and I thought I followed it.

native ice
#

also can you explain what the actual issue is?

tropic juniper
#

hey so ? im not exactly sure what happened but my file and everything was working fine earlier (im only using charm revamp and a charm combo mod along with custom knight since its my first playthrough) and i turned my comp off and went to bed and i just wokeup and im trying to play again and it launched vanilla version of the game and so i went to go check my files and the mods folder and all my stuff that was in it is just gone?

novel bronze
# native ice Did you press the [Load Enemy Randomizer] button?

The game doesn't actually load, period. When I used Scarab, it did (with a few issues). Healthbar worked. But Scarab doesn't have the enemy randomizer. So I followed the instructions to change the two DLL files, but when I did that, the game decides not to load unless I reinstall it via. Steam.

native ice
tropic juniper
#

yeah i just redownloaded mod installer to reinstall my mods and it says they still are installed?

#

like i cant install them a second time it just says uninstall

#

so now im really confused

#

i dont know how they would have moved or where they would have gone

native ice

tropic juniper
#

im on windows and im looking in the same folder it used to be in .-. but its the local files from steam

native ice
#

Hm

tropic juniper
#

yeah the "readme" notepads for the mods are here

#

but the mods folder and stuff

#

is just gone??

native ice
#

Oh

#

Are you in the Hollow Knight folder, cause the mods folder is in \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\

tropic juniper
#

all the levels and stuff are here

native ice
#

oh nvm

tropic juniper
#

oh my god youre right i forgot its in the managed folder 😭

native ice
#

and you're using scarab?

tropic juniper
#

thank you so much

native ice
#

oh

tropic juniper
#

im using the other one !!

native ice
#

Well, that doesn't fix your other issue

tropic juniper
#

still gotta figure out why its launchging in vanilla tho .-.\

#

and why my save files are blank / stuck on loading 😭

native ice
#

oh

tropic juniper
#

its still launching the same version

#

so idk what happened

native ice

This is both your issues

really dumb question i'm sorry for asking but in what folder exactly do i put CustomKnight skins?

native ice
rustic badge
#

i'm on 1.5 and in the "Skins" folder there are "Default" and "SwapperDemo" 😐

#

thank you for helping 😄

native ice
#

Well yea, put your skins in with those

rustic badge
#

in swapper demo?

#

in Default there are the normal...graphics

native ice
#

Default is the default skin, swapperdemo is i believe a showcase of the swapper feature of 1.5 custom knight

#

...

#

Place it in the Skins folder

#

Next to Default

rustic badge
#

it doesn't work there i tried

native ice
#

It doesn't work in what way?

rustic badge
#

yea

native ice
#

It's not showing up in game?

#

When you click on it it doesn't load?

but i think something is wrong with the mod itself(i haven't downloaded something)

Is this the mod installer or the game?

#

The mod installer

native ice
#

What OS are you using?

rustic badge
versed whale
#

Windows 11

native ice
#

Is there an AU.exe file anywhere near your mod installer?

versed whale
#

But when I used windows 10 I had the same problem

native ice
#

^ Or download Mod installer 2 from the pins

versed whale
#

Okay I'll try that

native ice
#

And if you don't know, hollow knight updated semi-recently, if you haven't played in a couple months you should download Scarab (first/second pin) as mod installer is for 1.4.3.2 and won't work with 1.5 HK

versed whale
#

Sorry, from where do I download Scarab?

Extract this folder. Inside you'll find a bunch of folders from various parts of the run. Take one of the save files from inside the last one and drop it into your own saves folder.

umm could i get some help with this?

#

i was trying to install custom knight and this came up

limber egret
#

Press continue

obsidian merlin
#

can you combine different skin assets?

#

like, changing the wing animation?

limber egret
#

You can

#

Create a folder and name it whatever you want the skin to be called, drop in the different sheets from the different skins you want

#

If you're very good you can edit two of the same sheet together, but that will require some experience with image editing

#

(Like, a very small amount.)

obsidian merlin
#

thanks

the custom knight skins arent showing qwq

finite zephyr

limber egret

Your skins need to be in there

vagrant seal
#

yea i put them in one

limber egret
#

Can you send a screenshot with the inside of that folder showing the images for the skin and the address bar?

vagrant seal
#

i put it in the highlighted one before

#

but ima move it to the new folder

limber egret
#

So your file path should end up as:
CustomKnight/MySkinName/[Image files]

#

If there's an extra folder in there it won't work

vagrant seal
#

oh it works now

#

also how do i change to default skin too?

limber egret
#

You should have a dolfer in there just called Default

#

Is that not the case?

obsidian merlin
limber egret
#

I use Krita or Glimpse for that kind of stuff.

#

I imagine I'd use Glimpse for this.

#

You're literally just cutting and pasting parts of one image onto another is all

limber egret

Unless you specifically want to play Randomiser

#

If you're already downpatching, (which it looks like you are maybe?) then you simply need to wait for it to finish downloading, then click the orange "Out of date "box

yeah thats now finished downpatching and clicked on the orange box

adding custom knight -mod doesnt do anything, i is registered as installed in menu, but doesnt appear in mod menu.

You need Satchel also

i have it 0.7.2-

#

maybe reinstall satchel?

ill try that

Sorry for bothering would any of you know how to fix this problem, so basically when I install the mod-installer it ask me to select my hollow knight installation path, so I select hollow knight game file and it tells me that I need the most recent stable version to run the mod. I just purchased hollow knight on pc yesterday so would I need to down patch or something,

novel bronze
#

I thought I got somewhere.

#

I downgraded my game and then changed the two DLL files. Then added the enemy randomizer mod. Got a crash report. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm extremely interested in doing a randomizer playthrough but not too sure where I'm going wrong.

real jacinth
#

changed what two dll files?

#

why aren't you just using the installer

novel bronze
#

I was under the impression for the installer to work you had to use the "ModdingAPI" folder contents.

real jacinth
#

what

#

the installer does everything

#

including installing the api

novel bronze
#

._.

#

Alright, hopefully that'll fix the issue. I'll verify the game files again to undo what I did.

#

Which installer do I use, do you know? The one from Radiance?

real jacinth
#

depends on what patch your game is

#

and what OS you have

#

and what mods you want

limber egret
#

You can put your game back to the most recent patch and use scarab

real jacinth
#

I'm extremely interested in doing a randomizer playthrough
does this include item randomizer or no

#

actually doesn't matter b/c enemy rando is 1432 only

#

so your game has to be 1432. and you have to use a 1432 installer

wheat iron
#

what mods are there to add more items to the item randomizer? Ex. Usables Mod

real jacinth
#

that's it

wheat iron
#

oh

real jacinth
#

dunno what else you'd want. randomizer currently has options for pretty much everything that's in the game

wheat iron
#

i meant like custom items, or some random stuff like nail shop?

real jacinth
#

multiworld and item sync make some changes to randomizer so you can play with more people

#

but that's it

How do i make custom bosses and areas?

#

Is therea level editor?

real jacinth
#

decoration master is a level editor

#

but custom bosses is not what it does

if you want custom bosses, you'll have to code your own mod

im having a hard time trying to install the API mod (and the debug mod after that) Neither are displaying in the top left hand side.
I intent to attempt speedrunning, on 1.2.2.1, have downloaded the files labled as such, created a dupe of the game and added that to steam as a non-steam game, replaced "hollow_knight_data" with the "1.2.2.1 Modding API Windows" version of the same file and replaced all duplicates, opened the game and its not indicating on the top left hand side.
I've tried searching through pinned comments but am not finding anything, this looks simple.
I'm on windows 10, steam.
Any suggestions?
(thankyou, i hope i haven't missed something dumb)

did you add the steam_appid file

#

Part of the crew trying to do a multiworld, twice now I've input 3.96.213.176 and both times it's crashed when trying to toggle the "Multiworld: No" to "Yes." Is there something I can do to fix that on my end, or should I just figure out how to set up my own server?

real jacinth
#

did you give it a room code

#

do you have all the dependency mods? were there any mods that say "failed to load" on your title screen

alpine remnant
#

I do have all the dependencies, yes, none of them failed to load. I didn't get to the room code step because I can't toggle Multiworld to Yes.

#

It didn't actually crash, it just kinda freezes for a bit and doesn't toggle

real jacinth
#

screenshot your title screen

alpine remnant
#

My screen grab doesn't want to cooperate with HK but here's the upper-left

real jacinth
#

well, you have very old stuff

alpine remnant
#

Huh. I didn't get an update prompt from modinstaller, where can I find updated versions of things? In the pins?

real jacinth
#

the server ip has also changed

alpine remnant
#

That would do it lol

real jacinth
#

and you need randomizer 3 from the installer

#

which is 3.13 now

alpine remnant
#

Gotcha, I'll give that a shot

real jacinth
#

so you are 6 versions behind

alpine remnant
#

Are the dependencies up-to-date, then?

#

Just randomizer 3 and the multiworld stuff is out of date?

real jacinth
#

benchwarp might be out of date

#

where did you get your installer

#

if nexus, then you need a new one

#

we don't put anything there

alpine remnant
#

Honestly I don't remember, I've had it for a while, but I've been using a few mods with it quite recently with no issue? I'll try the above steps and if that doesn't work then I'll go check the pins for another version of the installer

real jacinth
#

there's a pin that talks about a modinstaller auto update bug. you'll have to follow that one to make sure you get the right one and aren't redownloading a cached version

#

"assuming MI1"

#

otherwise you could just get MI2

silk creek
#

I installed the thing and enabled what I wanted in the game but when I opened it and pressed play none if my save files will show and I can't make a new one

#

Any ideas?

real jacinth

how do i use debug mod? i just installed it and would like some help

alpine remnant
#

F1 will pull up a lot of options

And there's a spot towards the center with 14 or so pages

upbeat vine

how do i use the mod installer

real jacinth

I promise I can read

We're gonna try this again

alpine remnant
#

Alright so honestly we've given up for the night lol, but after installing the stuff from the correct zips, we were not able to connect to the server. This is not something I can parse, is there anything obvious in here for why we were disconnected?

(Feel free to ping and I'll probably wind up checking tomorrow)

sturdy meadow
#

anyone know why the mods are causing my game to run super slow?

#

it was working fine without the mods but now with qol, debug, and benchwarp its slow as hell

real jacinth
#

wdym slow

sturdy meadow
#

Like the knights movements are just slow like molasses

#

The game froze when I went into aspid arena

sullen apex
#

I came back to Hollow Knight after some time and attempted to play a regular game.
It's stuck on Randomizer so I went to the ModInstaller to try and turn it off
Turns out there's an error and I can't access it to turn it off
I tried to look up the ModInstaller on Google and it led me straight back to the error when I tried to reinstall it.
Any chance I can recover from this?

Hi, is there a controller control guide for Hollow Point? I can switch to a gun but I can't shoot?

sonic vine
#

Which mod installer should i use I can't figure out how to mod hollowknight

marsh sphinx
#

so while trying to setup the custom knight mod, i ended up deleting the default knight folder. Where can I find another download for the skin or do I need to just delete the game entirely?

native ice
#

or you could reinstall the mod and it should add it back

how to screenshot 😄

native ice
#

On windows Windows + Shift + S and then click and drag then just paste (ctrl + V) is what i use, or you can press Windows + prtscrn

#

Not certain on mac/linux

timid estuary
#

ok!

#

im on windows

#

enemy randomizer doesnt work either

#

it says failed to load

native ice
#

You're missing most the dependency mods, get ModCommon, QoL, and Vasi

timid estuary
#

oh i forgor

native ice
#

Also may need SereCore, not actually certain what enemy rando needs

timid estuary
#

i totally forgor about those

#

working 😄

Don't forget to press the "[Load Enemy Randomizer]" button

Yes

My mod installer can't find the installation folder

limber egret
#

Where did you get Hollow Knight, and which installer did you download?

graceful oxide
#

so I have a problem

#

when I try to open the game from steam

#

it works

#

but when I try it from the desktop icon

#

it gives me this message

#

could it possibly be from the mods I use?

limber egret
#

Just open it from steam

graceful oxide
#

I know some mod installers have something that prevents cracked copies from being opened

graceful oxide
fickle parrot
#

That seems like a problem with steam to me

shut condor
graceful oxide
shut condor
limber egret

Then you are using the wrong installer. You need scarab.

fickle parrot
#

Im not a profesional but i wouldnt expect something like this from mods

graceful oxide
#

I also checked my task (tasque) manager and no version of hk is open in it so

graceful oxide
fickle parrot
#

Im pretty Sure the modinstaller doesnt do that

#

I think it just doesnt work with cracked copies

waxen sequoia

where do I download the modinstaller

wheat orchid
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
waxen sequoia
#

I've done it before, but this is a new computer and I don't remember how

wheat orchid
#

Download the one for your version of hk

#

If it comes as a zip file, extract it then open the app (.exe on windows, .app on Mac, etc) otherwise just run it

waxen sequoia
#

thx

#

I downloaded the one for 1.15 but I can't find randomiser in the list

even though i downloaded hollowknight literally 15 min ago the mod-loader still claims that i have an outdated copy

You're using the wrong installer then

is there no current randomizer that works for scarab 1.5?

First, make sure that your don't have any mods disabled in the "mod options" menu that's on the pause menu. (Even if a mod can be disabled there, doing so often actually breaks things).

Second, you may need to delete your Global Settings files. You can do this by navigating to your saves folder and manually deleting them all, or by downloading and running this script:

umbral flume
#

im having trouble downloading the proper mods to do a room/item randomizer. can anyone help?

real jacinth
#

use a 1432 installer

umbral flume
#

what does that mean?

#

oh version 1.4.3.2?

pastel sundial
#

I have hk on an alternate drive. can i somehow make it work with the installer?
If i put the installer on the drive it doesnt work.
help pls.

real jacinth
#

define "it doesn't work"

#

and yes. drive doesn't matter

pastel sundial
#

it just cant find the gamefiles even if the installer is on drive

real jacinth
#

your installer should be on desktop

#

where'd you buy the game

pastel sundial
#

yeah but if i download hk onto the C drive it says i should update the game to the latest version (wich i did)

pastel sundial
real jacinth
#

so it is finding your game

#

you're just on the wrong patch for that installer

#

?pins

real jacinth

Thanks!

pastel sundial

i discovered another problem

#

this downloads to halfpoint everytime i launch the game and the game starts but crashes instantly

real jacinth
#

still wrong installer for the patch you're on

pastel sundial
#

oh

umbral flume
#

Okay so I’m on patch 1.4.3.2. Whenever I try to download the Vasi mod, this is the message I get

real jacinth
#

there's a pin for that

umbral flume
#

Thanks

real jacinth
#

.

pastel sundial
#

i used the modinstaller 2 and the same thing happens still

real jacinth
#

yes, modinstaller 2 is not a 1.5 installer

#

your game is 1.5

#

and you're using a 1.4.3.2 installer

#

your game patch and installer have to match

pastel sundial
#

oooh i see

#

okay

proven needle
#

k

pliant lantern
#

You'll have to explain what you actually have issues with.

Generally speaking, it's just "download Scarab, and then use Scarab"

proven needle
#

i couldnt figure out how to get it in the files to work properly

#

and i tryed this

real jacinth
#

their game is 1432

pliant lantern
proven needle
#

k installing scarab or what ever it is

#

yeah

real jacinth
#

we went over this last time. they needed to reset the installer

pliant lantern
#

Oh lol

proven needle
#

im gettin scarab

pliant lantern
#

Well no

#

Don't get Scarab if you're using 1432

#

You said that you were new to modding like 10x, so I assumed you hadn't don't anything to your game yet

#

Scarab is for current patch only

real jacinth
#

just use installer 2

proven needle
#

oh no im in the uh fuck what is it crying elevator?

#

elevators

#

i dont remember the name

#

uhh OH

#

city of tears

pliant lantern
#

Yeah, mod installer 2 tends to have less issues for people

real jacinth
#

they were getting the MI1 bug where it was still giving the "most recent stable patch" error even after downpatching.

proven needle
#

i hope

real jacinth
#

so I told them to reset the installer

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

and they got stuck there

proven needle
#

i downloaded scarab

#

for windows

#

what do i do?

real jacinth
#

you were told not to

#

you're on patch 1432 still yes?

proven needle
#

no newest

#

i changed it back

real jacinth
#

then yeah, use scarab

proven needle
#

well its downloaded what do i do next?

#

i opened it?

real jacinth
#

unzip it

#

and run the exe

proven needle
#

i-

#

how the fuck do i do that

real jacinth
#

double click it

proven needle
#

the whole thing?

#

in rar?

real jacinth
#

no, you have to extract the rar

#

and why do you have a rar

#

it should be a zip

proven needle
#

i open zip files in rar

real jacinth
#

you mean winrar

proven needle
#

yes what do i click now?

real jacinth
#

you click the extract button

#

proven needle

real jacinth
#

proven needle
#

real jacinth
#

then open what you extracted, and run scarab.exe

proven needle
#

extract it to here?

real jacinth
#

proven needle
#

uh that sure makes me feel unsure about this now

real jacinth
#

okay

proven needle
#

@pliant lantern i trust you the most here what do i do?

proven needle
# real jacinth okay

So that the modding community discord would be helpful is wrong? cuz it seems like that comin from mickely

pliant lantern
proven needle
#

Do i extract it to here yes or no does it fuck with my pc or not its a yes or no dude

real jacinth
#

why would it fuck with your pc

#

it's just extracting a file

#

i would add an extra folder to the extraction to contain it more

#

and keep the desktop a bit cleaner

#

but this also works

#

hence.... "sure"

proven needle
#

thankyou for the answer i just needed to know

#

k in a file

#

now wht

real jacinth
#

run the exe

proven needle

real jacinth
#

no

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

it's not on there b/c it's not ported to 1.5 yet

Ah ok gotcha, that does mean I can play it on older versions still correct?

#

Okay, thank you 😄

wild stirrup
#

Could anyone tell me what the itemsync mod does? I am seeing it mentioned in conjunction with multiworld a bit but nothing about exactly what it does or doesn't do

marble elm
#

After i installed the mod installer and tried to enable a mod it wouldnt let me open hollow knight unless i uninstalled and reinstalled the game

#

what should i do

real jacinth
#

make sure the installer being used matches the game patch you're on

real jacinth
real jacinth
#

eg: if player 1 finds claw, claw will be given to player 2

ahh okay got it

thank you so much

oak gust
#

So I've installed Scarab on 1.5, however I can't get the Randomizer mod 3.0 to appear in the mod menu. I've moved the folder into the same folder as the other enabled mods.

#

I have Benchwarp and BenchwarpFix running properly, activated from the mod menu.

#

so my scarab mods folder looks like this

oak gust
#

ignore the comic sans that's just me trashing my OS

#

To play Rando, you need to downpatch to 1432.
Instructions are in the 4rd pin pinknight

Saves aren't affected between 1432 and 1.5

oak gust
#

thank you! :)

karmic wren
#

So, a bunch of my mods are just saying "failed to load, check modlog.txt"

#

Anyone know what that's about?

real jacinth
#

you're probably missing the dependency

wheat orchid
#

You’re probably either installing mods for the wrong version (unlikely if you used a mod installer) or missing dependency mods

karmic wren
#

What's the dependency? I'm new to mods, sorry if it's a dumb question :p

wheat orchid
#

A dependency is another mod a mod depends on to work properly

real jacinth
#

what you're missing depends on what you're using

#

most likely modcommon, vasi, or serecore

wheat orchid
#

Ex: frogcore, modcommon, SFCore, Serecore, weavercore, satchel, Vasi

rocky pulsar
#

just install all of them and see if it works

real jacinth
#

or satchel if 1.5, yeah

rocky pulsar
#

thats sad

#

type faster fool

wheat orchid
#

I also typed longer messages but I guess that doesn’t contribute

real jacinth
#

be more concise

rocky pulsar
#

smh you dont type in 200 wpm?

karmic wren
rocky pulsar
#

its in the modinstaller

#

just look for them

karmic wren

  1. stop pinging me
#
  1. just press ok
#

and probably turn off cloud saves with steam anyways

#

can u download skins without mod?

real jacinth
#

no

jolly nymph
#

why

real jacinth
#

because they won't be put in

#

the mod is what replaces the sprites

jolly nymph
#

but is there any way to change the skins without modding?

real jacinth
#

sure, if you want to package your own as unity asset bundles

wheat orchid
#

Yes but it’s extremely tough and technically mod’s your game anyways

real jacinth
#

^

jolly nymph
#

oh

real jacinth
#

the mod is way easier

#

and lets you have a bunch of skins

jolly nymph
#

anyways, do some of you know the file that is meant to be the "skin"?

real jacinth
#

one of the asset bundles

jolly nymph
#

okay

real jacinth
#

or multiple of them

jolly nymph
#

i have a question

#

is there any specific reason because mods doesnt work on pirate hollow knight?

real jacinth
#

yes

jolly nymph
#

real jacinth
#

#

jolly nymph
#

ohh

#
