Which in my opinion, is poggers
PLOT TWIST: they release silk song and put the price so high like 3000000 dollar
thinking silk song is getting released ever. lmao
Probably gonna be 20
ye
but hey
we can play as hornet
if released

imagine if team cherry said : what are you talking about it was bait
does the 1.5 mod installer support custom knight and the item/room rando?
yes, no
to get the installer, do i click this?
yes
yes
k ty
do you know if theres plans for the item/room rando to be brought to 1.5?
eventually
alright ty for the help!
then here?
You don't need to ask for everything
i dont want to be wrong
If you're on Windows yes
k
You wouldn't download the Mac one, obviously
The game is not recognizing my controller on Linux, is there a fix for this?
Try unplugging your controller, starting HK, then plugging it back in
it is bluetooth but i'll try connecting it when it is running
What patch are you playing on, and are you using mods?
1.4.3.2, It is modded but the it wasn't working in vanilla either
Ah. Idk about vanilla, but for 1432 modded, you do need to manually install the Unix ModdingAPI.
ModInstaller2 grabs the Windows one, regardless of what OS you're actually on.
If it doesn't work with vanilla though, then you may just need to use a kebind remapper, and map all of the controller inputs to keyboard keys.
someone please help I can't get grassy knight off HK
I don't want to be eternally cutting grass 
Did you try uninstalling or disabling it
yeah, it's like it's been cursed to the game 
you can probably backup your save files then reinstall the game
Reinstalling the game won’t mess with saves anyways
They’re stored completely separately
that makes sense i guess
Plus you don’t need to reinstall it, just delete the mod’s file(s)
oh right- I can do that- 
But you should be able to do it with a mod installer
So which installer are you using (wanna fix the bugs)
Scarab, mod installer 2, or mod installer 1 (also known as 8.7.1)
Alright
So unchecking they installed? box on it with the game closed does nothing?
yeah, it didn't work in the program itself
but deleting the file manually did. (Grassy knight is the only mod this has happened to btw)
the grass curse has been lifted!
thank you for the help-
Np
hi im new here
Mickley, your avatar looks like a front view cart titan with a hat
Hey anyone know how to get custom knight to work? Every other mod I have that's installed works, i'm using Scarab, and I have my skin in the folder for it, but it's still not working. It's not even popping up as one of my installed mods
idk tag mickly
I just post art and listen to the amusing arguments of the lore channel
@real jacinth Hey do you know how to get custom knight to work? Every other mod I have that's installed works, i'm using Scarab, and I have my skin in the folder for it, but it's still not working. It's not even popping up as one of my installed mods.
Did you do the suggestions from the skin drive pin
Why would you suggest pinging people?
People that help in this channel do check it occasionally when they can. No pings needed.
@real jacinth I did. I have satchel, I have a skins folder, and I did the removal file, since I did move from custom night to 1.5 with scarab
so, i just messed around with debug mode and now my main profile does 0 nail damage
so how do i fix that
Stop pinging them in every response 
and in trying to fix it, i deleted the mod thinking that would fix it
Oh sorry, my bad
Close Hollow Knight, then download and run this file:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/900956017951649822/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
Then when it's done, open Hollow Knight again and check if CustomKnight is in your listed mods.
so how do i fix this
Nail Damage is a property on your Save File.
You need to either edit your save, or increase it with debug again.
You can look up the values for nail damage on the wiki (make sure you unequip all charms first though).
It still didn't work, even though it said problem was fixed :/
And you're sure that CustomKnight is installed and Enabled?
Yep, just double checked
when im editing it in the save file, do i put the thing including charms and other stuff or just how much the nail would do on its own
nvm ill just use the debug mod again
Not really sure what else I can really do
screenshot your title screen
But that's the problem, in scarab it's installed and enabled
close scarab and open it again
with your game closed
check if it still says that in scarab. if so, uninstall it and reinstall it
customknight being "it"
Got it, I had to just reinstall

1.4.3.2
oof make sense
i have the 1.4.2.4
how can i update my game and dont lose my data

backup saves (look above ur message) and idk it should work by just updating
are u on steam?
then im pretty sure you cant use mods cough cough
if thats false then
7-7
y7eah if u pirated the game/gamepass you cant mod
pretty sure it has to be steam version
oo time for buy it then
or GOG
whats gog
And you can on gamepass it's just complicated
A game library similar to steam
hey guys i am running into trouble modding on manjaro linux the mods are working but im losing controller support. does anybody have an idea as to how i can fix this. ive already 112% the game on controller so if i can avoid learning keyboard thatd be ideal
What game version are you on?
Are there any ranodmizer for 1.5 right now
No
ok thanks
Yep
It's the same, just different file path and if you need to do some stuff, like down patching, it'll be different from steam
Just slightly
Modders
I require knowledge
Pls grant me knowledge
What engine is used to mod hk
Replied to you in the other channel. 😊
how do i install debug mod bscause i am completely confused on how the mod installers work
- Download scarab
- Extract the folder to your desktop
- Open scarab
- On the bottom left click "Update API"
- Find debug in the menu, click install
- Open your game
what version
so when i click debug mod is dosent say update api and i can find a way to make it say that
Follow the steps in order
i have and when i open scarab update api is greyed out
i'll deal with it later i need to sleep
You don't need to press it
Blame Sony they never allow external assets
WHERE IS THE LINK FOR DOWNLOAD MODINSTALLER

So, not a big problem that can't be solved with save quitting but, why does my game looks like this every time I create a new save? (This seems to happen only when Debug Mod it's enabled)
What other mods do you have? This looks similar to the bug where you don't have Vasi on 1432
This are the mods i usually use
**1.5 patch just in case
And according to Scarab and the mod folder, vasi it's on tho
Can you upload your modlog.txt?
It's in the saves directory

Hmm, and it's broken with debug mod but works fine without?
Yes, when i disable it the saves are fine after creation
This only seems to occur when debug it's enabled
Can you try installing QoL, creating a new file and then sending the new modlog? (feel free to uninstall QoL after, but it adds some helpful messages to the modlog)
Thanks, I'll see if I can figure out the issue
Ok, and thanks btw
OK, try getting rid of BenchwarpFix (which, contrary to what the name suggests, is actually breaking stuff)
(Don't worry about benchwarp. Benchwarp isn't broken, but as I understand it benchwarpfix is basically a failsafe for if you try to do something like deploy a bench in colosseum. Except apparently it's breaking your game
)
Yeah
I'm not entirely sure why having Debug and BenchwarpFix both installed breaks the game but just BenchwarpFix doesn't, but I think benchwarpfix is probably the one responsible
Welp, thanks for the help :)

wich mod installer do you guys recommend?
Scarab, unless you plan on playing randomizers
i want rando
Then check the third pinned message
ok
Mod installer 1 and 2 are pretty much the same so just pick whichever
hey are the pantheons a mod?

@quasi spade try and use scarab its lets you play on the most recent version
btw it dont work
i want rando
If you mean you heard people mention the pantheons, and you're wondering what they are. No they're part of the vanilla game, as part of the "DLC" (Which is integrated into the game and free)
good i wanted to try them to see if i got skills
Did you downpatch your game?
also is any rad included in scarab mod lists
hey, anyone where i can download the modinstaller 2?
what's that
wat
if so what mod is it

You may want Scarab instead, it's for current patch
I don't believe it is
mkay ill google it
It's also not on the 1.4 installer, but a download is linked in the pins of this channel
It's meant for 1.4
@proven needle
well nvm then
Also, if you haven't even been to the pantheons you really shouldn't touch anyrad, you also can't if you haven't
idk i wanna test my skills
Pantheons alone will be enough to test your skills, anyrad will make you sad
Does anyone here know how to code
#archived-modding-development is more for that, probably keep it HK related though. If you want to code a HK mod then be sure to check the pins in that channel
Does a hk fangame count
Pins probably won't help with that, but still should ask there
so i opened the modinstaller 2 and clicked on the custom knight box and nothing changes
Was the game closes? Are you on the correct game version? Nothing shows up in the top left corner of the title screen! If you open the options menu, is there a mods tab?
i'm gonna try to download another game version to make sure
it really works on cracked games?
@cobalt blaze who told you it works on cracked versions?
oh, sorry about that
i'm about to buy
@cobalt blaze just wondering: what makes your brain go: “let’s pirate the game and ask their official community how to do extra stuff with that”
Can you install mods on the pc version included in the collector's edition?
i dunno man. really dump of me, i agreed
Huh, I've got no clue. You can certainly try
It would just depend on what version that actually is.
If it's current patch, then it should work
Oh ok
how do i use the hollow point mod
Check it's readme https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/edit?usp=sharing
If you're asking how to install the mod, then check the pinned messages and get the Scarab installer
im using 1.14 btw
1.14 is not a thing
i just downloaded some mods and they seem to be working, only problem is that my language changed to some really weird one, and now i can only select russian or chinese, does anyone know how to fix that?
you installed art mods?
i cant find child of light on scarab, is it on mod installer 2/1?
yes
ok

Hey, can someone help me?
Idk can I
can you?
im just trying to play multiplayer but one of my friends cant join
What version of the game are you playing on
the most recent version im pretty sure
1.5?
ye ye
Y’all are using the hkmp mod?
what version is he playing on
Have other people been able to join?
meh ima just do the pantheons tomorrow
hes on 1.5
yeap
my friend hosted and im on her server
i think there's a problem with their connection
And the friend who can’t join entered in the same ip and port you entered in?
Are y’all doing port forwarding or using a vpn like hamachi
we did the same thing but his didnt work for some reason
were using a vpn im pretty sure
Are all 3 of you on the same vpn?
yeap
Imma direct you to the HKMP server where I think they can help you more
child of light doesnt seem to work
unfortunate
is there something that stops child of light from working
uh
well you have charm overhaul and randomizer
both of which change the same things that child of light does
oh lemme disable them rq then
and if you don't have the necessary spell levels that child of light requires, then the spells won't be changed
the shade variants?
according to the readme, yes
it still doesnt work for some reason
nvm, it got fixed after i restarted
hey i was able to get the debug menu working on my hk and i want to use the downloadable save states but i can't find a guide on how to do that--can anyone help?
Can anyone help me? I've got everything I need for mods, some mods are making my game crash, like custom knight and deathcounter. Did I do something wrong?
hey, i just recently downloaded hollowknight from steam and tried to install a modinstaller. Now my hollowknight won't open.
You likely downloaded the wrong one. You will be on v1.5, not 1.4.
Likely yes, but you might need to be more specific. Which installer did you get etc. Maybe also see the message I sent just above this one.
say i use mods and remove/disable them later will i still be able to get the achievements?
On Steam you can get achievement regardless of mods
Yeah
oh
You might want to make sure you get any before you use a mod if you want to. Or just try to keep a note of the ones you get while you have mods to get them normally later.
I got modinstaller, it was a link on the videos I watched. Told me to revert to 1.4.3.2, I did so. Everything is working fine, some mods just won't work
alright
I'll get to the mod loading screen then it will stop and I'll get a windows notification.
Loading as in on Hollow Knight, the white bar
Try just using mods one at a time. It might simply be too many for your computer.
You'll need to keep the library mods etc, obviously.
hOw I dO pRaCtIcE mOd On My SwItCh /j lmao
Library?
And I did try one at a time, only when I have Custom Knight or Deathcounter on enabled they crash it
Is there one for 1.5? I just wanted a custom skin
Yes and yes
are you using a controller
Yeah I just got it connected before
yes. scarab. in pins
Why was it crashing before and thank you
because your controller was plugged in
Ah, why'd my controller stop it though?
b/c bugs
How do I open scarab on my mac? It says it can't open on MacOS
right click the app, select "Show package contents", look for a file called "ModInstaller""Scarab" and move that to your desktop and run it
i just tried to open it
if you just tried to open it, it should have created an app outside it
So sorry for the bother but me and a friend are trying to get the 1.4.3.2 modded multiplayer thing working but we cant figure out how to get into eachothers rooms- Mind if we get a little help?
.
noice
there actually doesn't seem to be anything in the files consist of "Modinstaller"'Scarab'
is there one that says scarab
yes but it doesn't open, same message
outside the zip?
when i click the zip it downloads scarab
then I try clicking everything in the files to open it but it doesn't open
in the zip? or the app?
the app? The one with the scarab icon
and you can't find anything in it?
should be contents/macOS/scarab
it's a 81.66 MB file
you run that
no I can find some exec files but i can't run them
are you sure you downloaded the mac zip and not like a windows zip
yes
it says mac.zip
i double click that to download scarab onto my downloads. Then i try to open it by the icon and through files and it won't open
well it won't run
move it to desktop
Well that worked it seems. Thank you, is there any additional steps for downloading the skin?
well yeah, you download them from the drives in pins
well i have the skins downloaded, i just need to add them into the mod
can some tell me what to do from here to install mods
click the installed box
nothing appers
not sure what that means
I'm sorry to bother you but evry time i try to mod the game even if it is in the last patch it still says this. Please i need help

how to update hollow knght to lastest verson
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but what are the red slashes in the knight.png file for?
Fury
im very confused im trying to mod on mac but tbh i have no idea what to do
download installer from pins. run installer program. install mods from list
ty!
alright ill try that thanks
um any time i try to open the mod installer it just says game files not found even though i have the game
well where did you tell it your game files were
hollow knight in the common file
which spot specifically
1 sec
and which installer are you using
windows
1
okay. and what folder location did you give it exactly
and where did you buy the game
just the regular hollow knight file, and steam
that doesn't answer my question
give me a screenshot of what you picked. or give me a file path
so now go to steam. right click the game.
click properties->local files-> browse
and screenshot what that brings up
is randomizer pinned here?
i have done this once before but it was like a year ago
so thats why other files for mods are appearing
after I nstall the mod does t automatcly just happen when 1 open up hollow kn1ght?
If you have them enabled
Yes
if this is true, then you're using a very outdated installer
i just installed the new one though
did you clear your system cache first
idk how to do that
if not, you were probably just given the cached version
^either do this
or use installer 2
ok i will try that
alright i got the installer installed and it shows me the list but i just have one more question: how do I actually install the mods?
click the install box
how do i use custom knight on 1.5? i put the skins in the skin folder but the gui does not pop up
options->mods->customknight
pk
how do i clear my file cache?
looking for cheat sheet type of mod that can give me any charms and things that I want. Is there such a thing?
debug mod
thank you!
can you download randomizer into scarab?
quick question, where are modders posting their mods?
nexus has like 4 mods, and I know there's more than that
The mod installers
Don’t use nexus
Usually outdated mods
oh snap, the installer itself has the mods?
…yes
sweet
@real jacinth any specific file i should set the path to?
So in the meantime I'ma need to get it on Modinstaller. That kinda brings me to the next issue.
You set the path to the folder containing the hollow knight.exe file (or a slightly different file if you’re not on windows)
k thx

so i set it to the file with the hollow knight.exe file and it still says unable to locate game files
So you set it to the folder containing the hollow knight.exe file?
yes
Could you screenshot the contents of the folder you selected
ugugg i already went through this with Mickely
alright im stuck again i copied the custom knight skins into my "skins folder" but they arent showing up in the game... I already restarted but still nothing
dude all I'm seeing here are mod lists with basic, one sentence descriptions. Would you mind linking the pinned comment you're referring to? it's either gotten too buried under still-pinned old installers to be useful or I skimmed over it
.
Where are you checking for them
im going to options > mods > custon knight > select skin
Is this after you’ve loaded a save file or on the title screen
after ive loaded the save file
Can you screenshot the skins folder
They can’t be zipped
On Mac iirc it’s double click
alright bet
how do i update the mods that say out of date
On mod installer 2 or scarab click the orange box next to that text
ok
It worked for every mod except for vasi. Vasi still gives the error
thank you so much it works now

very very very dumb question. ive installed the randomizer mod and i did a randomizer run. but now i dont know how to turn it off 😆
open installer -> uninstall randomizer
hey so i was using randomizer on a sep save earlier and i disabled it when going back to my norm save and it seems like charm overhaul has stopped working :( i tried disabling and reenabling the mod (both of them) and uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesnt seem to be working ;-;
i even tried deleting the installer entirely and redownloading it
(via the way in pins)
wait really theres no way to turn it off? just full on uninstall?
You can click the "Disable" or "Enabled?" buttons on the installer
that is how you turn it off. you could disable with the installer too
if you don't want it, what's the difference between turning it off and uninstalling?
i just assumed there was a way to do a normal run without disabling/uninstalling.
Nope
If you disable it's easy enough to re-enable, shouldn't really matter. Unless you're planning on going back and forth between saves every 5 minutes or something
tru
so i installed a couple mods and they work great but now my game isnt detecting my controller inputs...
hey i have a question
so i decided to move from 1.4 modding to 1.5 since 1.5 is the latest version. So i downloaded scarab and installed all of the 1.4 mods i had to 1.5. but now for some reason hollow knight doesn't read any of the loaded mods i downloaded and the modding api is gone. i tried reinstalling modding api and it did nothing. so what did i do?
what game version and OS are you on?
If you open the options menu, is there a mods tab?
it says 1.5.78 and could you remind me what OS means?
Operating System i.e. Windows, mac, linux
ah ok im on mac
Hm, try closing the game, unplugging the controller, launching the game, and then plugging the controller in on the title screen
alright ill try that
yeah nothing
i dont get why it's not working, I had it working earlier without the mods installed but i dont think the mods would interfere with anything
I just can't use my controller cause it won't work
They can. Are you using steam?
yessir
you can play 1.5 on mac?
Yes
Open steams big picture mode (in the upper right next to the close/minimize button) then go to the controller settings, make sure it's set to your controller type and such, then go to hollow knight in steam big picture, go to it's settings, and controller settings, and make sure Forced input is on
alright lemme try that
I've done that but controller still doesn't work
alright its working so far, im gonna put the mods back on now
So I assume you're using 1.4?
Yeah 1.5 won't launch 
Well that could probably be fixed easily, but if you want to stick with 1.4 and fix your controller. You should manually install the modding api, mod installer 1/2 install the windows version no matter what which causes controllers to stop working on mac/linux
Why would I install the windows one on mac?
Here's the modding api, download the unix one, unzip it, and place the contents of it into your Managed folder
The mod installer does, not you
It's an oversight
And it causes this problem
And you can fix it easily by just manually installing the API
ah i see
ill try tomorrow
but its midnight so i gotta sleep
Mmk
ok the controller problem is fixed (thank you a ton) but now the mods arent showing up in the main menu
Incase you don't know where the managed folder I was talking about is, you can reach it by either
- Opening mod installer 2, pressing "Open Mods" in the bottom left, and then going up one folder
- Going to your steam library > right clicking HK > properties > local files > browse > right click the
hollow_knight.app> select show package contents >\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\ - You can also probably open it via terminal by pasting in
open ~~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/
If you open the options menu, is there a mods tab?
nah its not showing up anymore for me even though all the mods i want are checked off in the mod installer
Okay, open scarab, in the bottom left does it say/let you click "Enable API" or "Update API"?
i have "Disable API" and the "Update API" is there but i can't click it
Then you're fine
Actually, try pressing "Disable API" and then click it again and enable it. Also make sure your game is closed when you do this
K, well next, do you know where your save files are stored?
for the mods or for hk?
For HK
i think so...
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)

bruh thats weird when i go to application supports i dont see teh unity.team cherry.hollow kight part
Try opening your terminal (I believe it's Command + Space to open spotlight on your keyboard and then type in Terminal and hit enter) and paste in open ~/Library/Application\ Support/unity.Team\ Cherry.Hollow\ Knight/
oh shit yeah that worked i got into the folder
Okay, now try deleting the globalsettings files, specifically custom knight, benchwarp, and modding api. If you have any of those. Or just delete em all, shouldn't matter, might help
alright yeah every one that had global settings is gone
test it out then
alright lets pray
god damnit ill try to figure it out you've done more than enough for me and im sure you're probably tired lmao
are randomisers for 1.4 only? or can i install it for 1.5
Currently 1.4 exclusive
Don't worry about it. Probably shoulda asked this earlier, but if you press the "Open Mods" button on scarab, can you check if the mods are there?
i believe so this is what showed up when i pressed on it
and inside those are there dll files?
yeah all besides the "disabled" one
are the mods provided by scarab the only ones I can use or can I download ones from nexus and place them in the mods folder?
Nexus mods are almost definitely not updated to 1.5, so no you can't. Nexus also isn't the safest or most updated place to get mods. If you're looking for a wider selection of mods, there's many that aren't on 1.5 yet but you can use by reverting to 1.4.3.2 and downloading mod installer. There are also some other ones scattered about, such as any rad or glass soul in the pins of this channel. Generally if it's pinned in this discord server, it'll be safe to use
no
there isn't even that mod list in the top left
okay, thanks!
that makes two of us
Then unless I'm forgetting one of the fixes for this, there's two options. 1. The modding api isn't installed somehow. or 2. The mods somehow got installed to the wrong location
hmm alright ill try to look into those
The first should've been solved by disabling and re enabling the api, but try going up one folder from the mods folder and deleting the assembly-csharp files, then use steams verify integrity option, then run scarab
maybe ill reinstall the modding api
Try what I just sent to xtreme
verify intergrity of game files right?
Yep
it says "2 files failed to validate and will be reacquired" guessing thats supposed to happen?
Yea
alr
alright now scarabs running, all the mods are enabled and installed, guessing just open hk now>
Indeed
anyone know why this happens/ how to fix it
What mods do you have?
bro this is so weird literally everything is perfect and everything is running this really should be working considering it worked fine a few hours ago
this one?
No, that's for 1.4 and to fix controller problems
Try doing this
its weird cuz when the controller works, the mods dont, but when the mods worked the controller didnt so maybe it has something to do with them
@native ice what do i do
im looking through scarab and i can't find modding api for 1.5
is it supposed to be there or no?
oh wait nvm i reread it
just ALL of the assembly c sharp files?
also where do i put the modding api files just anywhere in the hollow knight files or specifically in the modding folder
Scarab auto installs it
NVM. Just read above a bit
You probably just have to delete all your modding setting files
im trying to download mod installer but it says to update the game, but it is fully updated

so just delete that?
Delete the files with the name "globalsettings", don't delete anything else/the entire folder there unless you don't care about your save data
run the game
lets go i got the mods back but now the controller problem is back
i opened and closed scarab and it still doesn't work
Lmao, rip
I don't even understand that
What'd you do exactly?
idk why its not not working
me or him?
You
i just wanted to knick knack pattywack give the bug a gun
i just went into scarab, unchecked the uninstall box on every mod, the checked them again, reloaded hollow knight and everything was ther
makes 0 sense
Hm
so you uninstalled and reinstalled everything
And try the controller thing again?
plus the controller force on thing is still on yet the controller still doesnt work so obviously some stupid thing going on there
nothings working for me
yeah im gonna put the forced on option on and restart one more time if it still doesnt work im prob just gonna give up lmao
maybe if i uninstall and reinstall scarab
wait its working now yesss
but now there's this black transparent box in the top right
welp thats tough
@native ice thanks for all the help tonight man im sure it was a pain in the ass for you
That's modconsole, you don't need it just uninstall it
alright
I do have one more option you can try, if your mods are working but your controller isn't
Uh, restart your game maybe
Hi, uh, my friend and I were unsubtly inspired by Fireb0rn's video of multiplayer ranzomizers. First question for getting it set up, do we need 1.5 or 1.4.3?
I don't see randomizers on 1.5 but MP seems to only be on 1.5?
1.5 doesn't have randomizers, HKMP isn't on the 1.4 installers but it is available. There's also the outdated multiplayer mod on the 1.4 installer
Alright, thank you
Yeah thats exactly whats happening
Here's the 1.4 HKMP https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP/releases/tag/v0.7.2
Oh great, thank you!
There's several programs online you can download that essentially take controller inputs and map them to keyboard inputs, so you can use a controller but the game thinks you're using M&K I believe one of em is called "Joy2Key/JoyToKey"
It's not ideal but it should work
Do we have to use things like Hamachi to be able to multiplayer?
And do we all have to run the randomizers or just the server host?
A VPN is the simplest option, Hamachi or ZeroTier are good ones, you can also port forward though that's a bit more complicated, there's guides online, and I believe there's also some public servers for HKMP, tho for randomizer you probably shouldn't use that
And you should both run the randomizer, make sure you put the same seed
Yeah, we just want it to be the two of us
Ohhhhhh ok i saw that name somewhere when i was looking up my issue but no one said what it was ill try that out rn
- Make sure the mod installer isn't in a zipped folder
- Move your mod installer to your desktop
- Make sure the game is closed while using mod installer
- Run the mod installer as administrator
The other three didn't work, but copying it to desktop did
Though, trying to install the item or room rando mod got me this
Ah
Thank you
We've agreed to give up for tonight because we're tired and a bit fried but we will give ourselves the cursed HK multiplayer experience we deserve
Thank you so much for your help thus far and I'm definitely gonna need more
Np, good luck and have a good night
oh my god you are literally my favorite person ever i think its all working now. thank you so much
how do i find the mod menu? i kinda lost it...
You mean the mod installer or the in-game mod menu?
the mod installer. I downloaded the randomizer mod and it worked but now I'm not sure what to do for more mods. Do I have to put the hollow knight path every time?
Just re-open the mod installer, Mod Manager and Mod Installer are the same thing
You have to open the Mod Installer every time you want to use it.
It should only ask you for the path once though. If it's asking multiple times, then make sure that you have it on Desktop, and you may need to run it as Administrator
oh ok thanks
I open the mod menu in the main menu options and there's nothing there.
If you're on 1.4.3.2 that doesn't matter, only some mods show up there, all that matters is that the mods are showing up in the top left corner
They do show up there
Are you on 1.4?
yes, I only had the Custom Knight mod on att. Currently trying to figure out how to setup the multiplayer mod.
does someone have the link of the mod installer?

Correct

I have a question: I have hk for switch, is it possible to mod it then? Or is it only possible on pc, id like to not go the pc route cuz then it costs more money for the steam release
It is not
And you can try waiting for a sale, it goes on sale pretty frequently and it's usually half off
ok
There may be a way to jailbreak your switch, but I don't think there's a way for hollow knight mods to interact with the Switch's OS
Heyo, I have a question... I'm currently trying to beat the radiant bosses in godhome. I want to use the savestate feature of the debug do skip entering the boss every time again but when I make a savestate in radiant mode and load it, then I spawn in attuned mode. Is that normal?
help, where can i find the logs ?
Save states are a bit weird with godhome stuff iirc, easier pantheon practice has a reload boss feature, but you have to press it quickly after you die and it makes things a bit weird sometimes (I.e. absrad fight has the full VGF attack scene instead of just fading to the dialogue) Edit: just remembered easier practice isn't on 1.5 yet
?saves Mod logs can be found in with your save files

playing on 1.4.3.2... so I shouldn't use the savestate but the reload feature?
I'm not really sure tbh, I'd say either save state right before the statue so you don't have to die and get up to reload (unless someone comes by with a better solution) or get used to pressing the reload boss button real quick
alright, thank you
should the reload feature be somewhere in here? do I have to install another mod for that?
?
That's your game files, not save files
"Easier Pantheon Practice"
It shouldn't touch radiant but it will change ascended
ah lol im dumb. makes sense, ty
I'm on linux and I'm trying to get Randomizer 3/Benchwarp
I know there's a directory for manually putting the DLLs, but where can I find the SereCore DLL?
why are you manually installing?
Is there a good installer for Linux?
Yep
Mod installer 2, also note that you'll need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2 and randomizer isn't available for 1.5
Ayo, I'm currently playing Lightbringer but I wanna play it with Custom Knight. Both mods work as intended, meaning I can switch around skins, but whenever I sit on a bench or change the room the skin will just revert back to the white knight skin that comes with Lightbringer. Can I somehow disable the Lightbringer skin?
You can’t disable that
Damn that's a bummer
Yeah, I'm in the 32 bit compatible downpatch from Steam
Then simply click the link for Mod Installer 2 in the first pinned message
what incredible technology. Thanks!
Says it can't find my HK folder...
Did you move your HK, and have you opened it and it's definitely on 1432?
It should give you the option to manually path it, also it may help if you move the installer to your desktop and run it as administrator
does anyone know which mod prevents you from getting to millibelle?
I got it working, all I needed to do was give it the extra assurance that yes it's in .steam/steamapps/common/ etc.
it just says "elderbugs words echoed... there's a time and place for everything, but not now" when i interact with the door
oh yea, forgot about that part
Also for rando chat you're better off in #randomizer
This is more for tech help
Though i suppose you didn't know that at the time
yeano im kinda new round here, thanks tho
Anyone else getting this problem?.. (note the sprite is just a skin)
Cause for some reason, the all the text appears like that and they are all in a different language in the menu (that I can't turn back into English by the way), and I've tried the usual methods or restarting my PC, uninstalling and reinstalling mods, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, ETC. But I have been having no luck
hey, i just got here and i wanted to download a mod installer, can anyone help?
I can even tho I am not Mod Staff, and hell, my problem ain't important so lemme help you out... sorry if I sounded salty, that was unintentional
sorry, i still haven't started using mods, so can't really help

yup, i ties downloading scarab, but i dont know what to do after that
oh wait i do
i wanted to try item randomizer
The pink part or what?
Then you'll need mod installer 1/2 and you'll need to go to a previous game version, the third pinned message has more info
And you just need to run the installer and select "Install"/"Installed?" on the mods you want
ohh ok just one more question, if i go to a previous game version, will my current save still be there, or will it get deleted
They'll be fine
Be careful with running mods on an already existing save, that might damage it. You can always make backups tho
i downloaded scarab but nothing happens when i choose install
yup ill make sure to only use it on a new save
Did you click the box next to install?
are there any differences in 1.5 and 1.4.3.2.?
From a gameplay point of view, practically nothing. The major things are 1.5 added controller vibrations, watcher knights back roll now, and there's some bug fixes. Otherwise they've got the same stuff
And of course more bugs, as any good update brings
ohhh okkk thankk youu!!
yeah but it crashes after a while and nothing happens
do i need to copy it somewhere or anything ?
Not necessarily, however it shouldn't be in a zipped file and it shouldn't be in your downloads folder, ideally you leave it on your desktop
The pink part yes.. Tho mainly a problem with the text as a whole as it is either pink or in a different language that I can't change back to English
Sorry for the late response
Did you install 'Arts' mod?
Yes
That changes the text
Also, uninstall mod console, it's that black transparent box in the upper right, and it does pretty much nothing for you
Bruh, well then, and Alrighty
And I'm really not sure what that pink is from
I guess it might be arts mod
causing a conflict with death counter or something, most people usually just uninstall arts after seeing it on the main menu
Noted
Also, arts mod has several smaller mods in it, if you wanted one of those but don't want the text, you can manually uninstall the one that change the text
i downloaded the installer and installed randomizer 3, but when i go to mods under options in the title screen, nothings there. Am i missing something?
That tab doesn't matter, only some mods show up there and the only thing you can do there is disable them. Are the mods showing up in the top left corner?
yep they are, but ive seen videos in which people have a screen to toggle things like split randomizer and stuff
so is that not necessary?
Start a new save
ohhhh i got it now, thank you again!
So I hid the debug mode/enemy randomizer settings thing and I have read so many things on how to get them to show again, but my f1 is a “help” button for my computer normally and I can’t find what people mean by the binding settings. I’ve also tried going into my app data but I can’t find the files people talk about deleting for a clean slate and clearing my save file and restarting doesn’t do anything
The mods themselves work fine, I just closed the editing options and nothing I do makes them come back 😅
fn+f1
That isn’t working either
It shows up for a second when I turn benchwarp on so I know it’s there
I got it now
I think it might have just been my computer glitching
how get new randomizer
Same as old randomiser
What exactly have you done so far?
downloaded multiple installers
i think
i was trying to update the original one
so i just redownloaded it
but then saw the others and downloaded thee second one because they say its faster and the 1.5 one
kept getting this error though so i deleted mods folder and tried again
can someone send me the file
Assembly-CSharp.dll
in your vanila version
its in Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed
i accidentally removed it and didnt get a backup
Which version
v1.5.68.11808
Steam has a file integrity check I think
Yeah I have that one
Let me get on my pc one sec
Please do not
You will be distributing a copy of the game
You will get banned
@low briar Don't come onto the OFFICIAL HOLLOW KNIGHT DISCORD asking somebody to help you pirate your game
You lost
Owned
Buy the game
im from iran and cant buy the game because steam dosnt accept my bank account
but i enjoyed it and i want to play it
and i want a 1MB file
not the entire game
Step 1: Delete copies of the mod installer until you just have one of them. I suggest you keep Mod Installer 2.
Step 2: Verify integrity of game files through steam
Step 3: Open your game, make sure it works and is on the correct patch.
Step 4: Open Mod Installer 2, and look for "Modding API". Click the orange "Out of date" box. When that turns into a tick (or disappears, depending on which view you're on) you can open your game.
Absolutely nobody else's problem.
You cannot request game files for a pirated copy of the game. Stop now before you get your discord account banned.
Not from this server, your account.
where can i delete them
Wherever you downloaded them to
ah
anyway i can find them they are probably in the default location they are set to go
anyone know if customknight is updated for 1.5
Is there een mod for random rooms on ps5?
can't play with mod on console

Hey people, Im interested in modding the game. I just have one question. Does downpatching via steam mess with any existing save files? Or is it fine as long as I dont open that save file while downpatched?

Can sombody explain what the ResetCharmNothces mod does?
Hey, uh, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but is there any way to preview the various Custom Knight skins other than just downloading a bunch?
I assume puts your charm notches back to 11 if another mod makes it more than that
Some browsers will let you. Failing that you can check youtube for Hollow Knight Skin Showcase and you'll find a bunch
i can't play randomizer mod, it says "failed to load", can anyone help me?

ok, thank you
can you tell me, what settings I have to use to have enemy randomizer?, I have only item randomizer, the enemy are the same
It is a separate mod. There is a button labeled "load enemy randomiser" on the main menu screen
