Yeah just don't ping if it's a joke
yea idk where the difference is between jokingly asking someone to buy you a game and not
like if you say "buy me that game" you could always say afterwards that it's a joke idk

when i try to launch hollow knight it crashes
mismatching hk version / modinstaller version
I'm trying to get Qol and Vasi but I keep getting this error message. Could anyone help?
i tried running hollowpoint on 1.5 but for some reason i can't swap to my gun and theres a whole bunch of 9999999s on the top left of the screen
How do i use the multiplayer mod like i have it installed but i dont know how to start a session and add people
For the gun mod to work properly you have to first create a file THEN install/activate the mod and the next time you will open the save file it will work
why is it like that?
Because it’s how the mod work
It’s probably written in the mod readme or on it’s GitHub page
hey im trying to use the multiplayer but am unable to get it to work can some one help me
I got a technical question
i can't heal with the hollow point mod
About controller support
alright whats up
I'm using an old PS3 controller (IMO superior ergonomics, also I'm poor) and it's not working
That’s a feature of the mods
It works with other games, just not HK
can some plz help me
You should ask a more precise question
Like to answer your question I want to say
Read the notice of the mod
i asked up in chat
Unable to get it to work could mean a lot of thing
So people won’t help if it isn’t somewhat precise
as in the hosting option dosent appear for me
Did you check the pinned comment about multiplayer ?
ahh ok i was using zeroteir
Well, I'm going with the nuclear option and just remapping my controller to keyboard inputs
Tbh that would work pretty well for hk since it doesn’t have any need for analogical imput from the stick
ummmm hi im new and dont know how to get a mod installer

ya i know but i dont know wich one to chose😭
Happy to report that HK obeys me now that my PS3 controller is outputting keyboard presses
ahhh whatever
what is the randomiser mod everyone uses?
anyone know of a mod that just lets me have more save files
having 4 is really annoying
moresaves
Randomiser 3. It is only available for patch 1.4
does changing patch with moresaves on get rid of them
cause i change patches a lot
and i dont have the 1.5 mod launcher
They will just stay in your save folder
more saves
it in the installer right
tysm
np
hi idk if someone already asked but idk how to activate decoration master on the lastest version (i have the 1.5 mod installer)
you cant
noice
so there is no way we can play imp any or imp bplace on this version ig?
(without being lost in all game files)
My friend and I gave up on doing the Item+Room randomizer MP because VPNs are annoying and we've had bad experiences in the past with them, so we opted to just do parallel runs of the rando with identical settings and seeds. But, we punched in the same seed, same settings, same mod and got different stuff
Does the seed not affect the room randomizer?
Ok, nvm
apparently we screwed up somehow and redoing it made it work
Just as a quick note, if you have the early geo setting enabled then the starting geo is a random amount from 300 to 600, which depends on the settings. So you can use it as a quick check - if you have different early geo then something got messed up somewhere. (This is what's done for rando races)
what is the differance between area and room rando
I know this is modding help but how do I connect my controller to hollow knight (mac)
take usb, plug into computer
You should jsut be able to plug it in with a USB, this is what I do but I'm not sure if it'll work for others? Sorry if that's kinda useless
any usb type?
I've done that and it doesn't work
I can get it working for steam in general
just not hollow knight
so you have mods installed then
Nope
you'll have to use a controller to kb mapping program then
And what is that?
if you don't have any mods installed, the controller should work fine, so long as steam detects it
you can change your steam game controller properties too
lots of info about it on google
of course
my custom knight has been having problems. i enable it and it won’t show up in game and i can’t collect geo
Strange, it won't launch on my computer
hey uh, i was wondering if anyone has fyremoth? the link i found is not working

Is it common for the game to crash upon running for mac after downloading modinstaller?
where did you download the installer from?
the link in pins
Ok turns out I'm a dumbass who can't read, I forgot to set the app to 1.4 beta
Hey all, my friend is having an issue that won't let us download the mod installer. It's saying Virus Scan failed and there's no option to bypass it. Can you help?
Try disabling the firewall and other virus protecting settings
(re-enable it afterwards of course)
aight so I may or may have have corrupted the entire game
oops
Turns out I did not, but that trying to use the 1.4 beta on a mac causes the entire file to crash upon opening from either steam or terminal so that's cute ig
what operating system do you have? there's usually a way around it in mac (that I know of) but it sounds like ur using a windows (in which case I would be no help)

why does modding have to be so hard, i downloaded this mod installer https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/9

Help. Whenever I download the file this is what shows up is this is what is supposed to happen??
For radiance mod installer
hey could someone help me with the twitch mod?
I tried watching the video Relyea made, but i'm still confused 
is there not a randomizer on the new modloader
if you're talking about scarab, no
randomizers are not available on 1.5 quite yet so if you wanna play them downpatch to 1432
Okay I downpatched to 1432, should they be on the menu cause I don't see them still
im trying to download zero tier to play hkmp however it just doesnt work whenever i download it zero tier central or zerotier one doesnt show and when it does and i attempt to open it, it dfoesnt open. Help pls
why is hkmp lagging way more than usual and spamming 'connected' messages
hamachi just says "relayed tunnel"
so I was told the best hollow knight modder is called Scarab so I went on GitHub and downloaded it but I don't know how to use it can someone help?
Scarab is for 1.5, mod installer 1/2 are for 1.4.3.2
Look it up, or you can try using hamachi
It's not "The best" it's one of 3 mod installers, scarab is exclusively for 1.5 (current patch), the other two are the same and for 1.4 but have more mods
And just unzip it, place it on your desktop, and run the executable file
ok I will look at my game version
Genuinely no. Have you tried just restarting?
?pins We don't use radiance, we host everything here. Get Scarab.

im using scarab to download mods and i wanted to know what is this blue bar that appears when i try to install a mod
The downloading bar
where can i find mod installer 2?
or is there an installer that works for current patch?
where can i get modinstaller

uhh i have never used a mod so what is the best game modder for begenners
and have i done something wrong
Did you try clicking continue
- Download the installer (make sure it's the correct one, probably scarab)
- extract the folder you downloaded to your desktop
- Open it.
can anyone teach me or like guide me??
from where?
???
the installer
You already asked that and were immediately given an answer
That's the one!
ok now should i open the scareb.exe
Yes
Scarab is the new mod installer for current patch? I guess I should consider switching over at some point. Mostly play rando, so I've been using a downpatch.
What exactly happened?
It is, and it didn't yet have rando.
When i run the game it shows the unity icon an then closes up
Good to know. Thanks.
I'm not sure exactly which you mean. You're on scarab, correct? Where did you get HK, steam?
this is what i get
What game version are you on, and what mod installer did you get?
"where did you get HK?" no response
i think the game version is 1.5.6.2 and the mod installer is scarab
Buy the game
im poor
Not TC's problem
bruh
btw im not sure if that "2" is correct
You just admitted to pirating the game, you won't be getting further help. All I'll say is that the game goes on sale frequently (almost always for half off, so from 15 usd to 7.50 usd) and make sure you buy it on steam or gog
welp, these are the consequences of my own actions i guess
ok, gotta look for ways to make money i guess
My modinstaller bugged so I want to delete all the modded file, but I'm not sure witch ones are mod files and witch ones are normal game files
is there any mod file left ?
Bugged in what way, cause you may be doing that unnecesarily
can't launch it
Then you probably just have an outdated mod installer, delete the application and redownload it from the pins

it's been a while since it's like that, but as I want to get back to the game, I want to have like QoL and custom knight
You should probably get scarab then
I take that one ?
Hollow knight had an update semi-recently that's incompatible with mod installer and the mods on it

QoL and custom knight are on scarab, (Scarab being mod installer 2.5 [mod installer 2 but for 1.5])
Click on the one that is relevant to you
just click "windows.zip"
uhh my mods are not working
I believe so
Care to elaborate?
okay nice, thank you !
There's a list of mods available on scarab at the very top of the pins
oh my bad
so when i click on install and enable and when i open my game the mod dosen't work
The mod names don't show up in the top left corner? What game version and OS are you on?
no
on the latest version and win 10
Specifically which version? When you say latest
uh 1.5.78.1183
What mods did you try to get?
?saves Head to your saves folder (listed below) and delete anything that ends in "globalsettings.json". That should likely fix your problem.

Look at the pinned message about the installer saying it requires the latest stable version
well then
🤔
Nah never needed a code
hopefully this works
That’s just for accessing betas not included in the drop down
dropdown?
Btw if you wanted to mod ver 1.5 then you could used the scarab mod installer
as in this
Yeah
i did try that but it wouldnt let me check any boxes
They aren’t check boxes?
oH
You select one
And it closes
And installs that one
All of those are different versions (“None” being current patch aka 1.5.something.something and “public beta” being 1.5.somethingelse.somethingelse)
For 1.4? Yeah that’s one you can use
ok
For 1.5 there’s a similar looking one called scarab
To get mods working, click the orange box next to out of date on the ModdingApi mod
ive done that and checked custom knight but it doesnt show up in my mods list
oh nvm i have to go now
but thank you so much
(In case you see this) do you mean mods list in the options menu or on the top left corner of the screen? Only mods that had specific implementation to be togglable in game appear there. If you’re trying to use it like the 1.5 ver of CustomKnight, the 1.4 ver has skin swapping in the pause menu in it’s own custom menu to the left where you click on a skin name to switch. Also if you’re trying to use it like 1.5 CustomKnight, don’t put skins in the skins folder, put them directly in the CustomKnight folder
Has randomizer mod and randomizer map been added to current patch (1.5)?
no
Can I have both 1.4.3.2 and 1.5 installed at once? or is it pointless to do that? I still want to get the achievements while playing on 1.4.3.2
You can. There's a guide on having multiple patches installed on the speedrun website.
Essentially, you just need to have one version installed, then copy all of the files of it to another folder and add another fine for steam, then change your install to the other version in steam
If I were to only have 1.4.3.2 would I still get achievements counted on steam
In the mod installer I have only the mod common and custom knight installed and now I can't launch hollow knight on steam
even if I disable the mods it still crashes please help I just wanna play hollow knight with a cool skin 😦
im having similar issues i only have libraries and commons and it wont work how do i fix this?
You likely got the wrong installer.
Where did you get Hollow Knight, and which installer did you download?
mod installer 2 it loads the game up now but doesnt apply mods to 1.4.3.2
where did u get hollow nite
hollow knight itself is on steam
Do you want to use either of the randomiser mods or not?
i just wanted to add gun
update your game back to the current patch and use Scarab
scarab?
The Installer for the latest patch
where do i find that

yes
ok im gonna try this and ill message again if i have problems
is it possible to mod hollow knight through game pass?
can someon give me link to modinstaller
If i use scarab, do I need to have hollow knight on my main drive cuz it's not working
you can find the link from pins
thanks
np
are randomizers available for 1.5 patch?
probably a stupid question but do I have to unzip the custom knight skins when puting them in the folder (im using 1.5 patch)
yeah
cool thanks
I've got a problem with custom skins download
it says that I dont have the latest version however I'm using the latest version of hollow knight

thank you
sadly not yet
question. is linux HK modding even possible currently?
pins, scarab
tysm
You do not. What exactly is the issue?
It is not. There is a method hidden somewhere on this channel if you search for it, but so far nobody has actually said it worked.
so where do i get mods
there some mods in pinned messages
if you want more ig you can find some if you search on google but idk how safe they are so do that at your own risk (you should be fine tho)

Sry for bothering. I solved it. My game path was wrong.
Hello, does anyone know if there is a way to install DebugMod on 1.2.2.1?
Hi, I'm having a customknight problem, I have the skins downloading onto the mod, but whenever I click the skin to change to it does nothing? Does anyone know how to fix that?
Bruh, tried to install a custom knight with modinstaller2 and my hollow knight just keeps crashing
Had to #speedrunning and check the pinned messages. There's resources in that server.
If you're on 1.5, there's a button that says "fix skins". If you're on 1.4 there's a message in the pinned messages with common custom Knight problems.
Okie
hey
so i just uninstalled hollow point and i wanna know how to remove the effects it has on soul
i remember last time i deleted some files but i don't remember what

There's a message in the pinned messages
2)You have moresaves installed (conflicts with UI) What does this mean?
More saves is a mod
Then I don't meet any of those...
The version on 1.4 breaks other mods
Wait, How do I get on 1.5?
If you're already playing with mods on 1.4 you don't really need to worry about it
Have you checked your file path? That's likely incorrect
Send a screenshot, including the address bar.
of what?
The skin
Guys need help
Is this right?
"including the address bar"
Whats that
The file path
Sooo no items are appearing for me in room rando
For Rando help head to #randomizer
Oh ok sorry
But they're all in the same folder?
So it's one file path
Yes, the whole thing
what pictures
.
That's not where they are
o
And the whole screen not just the little bit
Your file path is incorrect
how?
- on that message about skins
Managed/Mods/Customknight/[Skin folder name]/[Skin PNG files])
does anyone know why i cant enter the hk room? its just loads forever, im guessing its a mod thing otherwise my laptop jsut cant handle hk
i can enter other rooms though
Yep. This is not what you have
just not the room that lets me finish the game
what do I have>
Custom Knight/a folder/another folder/images
Usually this is too many mods using too much VRAM. Custom Knight is a big one.
oh, thats why, so i just deactivate or disable?
how do I change it to correct order?
Yeah, try that and see if it helps
k
Simply move the images to the right folder
which ones the right folder?
This file path
The folder with the images should be in the custom knight folder, not a folder inside the custom knight folder
I’m using a problem with Custom Knight
I have the skins in the skin options but once I’m in game it’s just default knight
Click the skins?
Im using Scarab
There isn’t a click skin thing you click arrows and cycles skins
And it’s only available in the menu not in-game
so where do I put the skin>
See how here the one before this there is the custom knight folder, yours has another folder in-between the folder holding the skin and the custom knight folder
wdym
You have the thunder knight stuff outside the thunder knight folder
this has custom knight, then thunder knight and then another folder holding images, it should be custom knight and then folder holding the images
Yes
No
oh
Mods/custom Knight/SKIN NAME/IMAGES
No other folder between them
You've added an extra folder
Just copy this
See how if you go to the default folder the images are there and not another folder, all the skins should be like that
They've also added an extra custom Knight folder inside the custom Knight folder note
That is right but click on default, see how there isn't another folder inside the default folder, all the other skins should also be like that
Does anyone know@how to fix this
Not another folder then images
Change skin during the game
Menu isn’t open in game
The one on the main menu only changes it for new save files
Nothing there
There’s mods
But custom knight only shows up on the me just
In game it dissapears
This looks correct
What do you mean it just disappears?
will dat work>
yes
ayy
The option for custom knight in the e mods tab dissapears
thanks so much guys 🙂
The mods tab and my other mods are there
But customkmigjt jsuy dissapears when I’m in game
Have you tried deleting it and redownloading it? Make a backup of the custom knight folder first though
Hmm. Head to your saves folder and delete customKnight.globalsettings.Json
With your game closed
Do this first. Deleting the mod won't help if this is your problem
I don’t currently have access to my pc so I’ll try that later
Anyone know how to hide the chat window in multiplayer mod?

hello,
i was wondering if there was an easier way to animate a new custom skin for Hollow Knight?
like one where i can actually run the animation through then turn it into the proper png so i don't mess up proportions of horns or cape?
Yes
Head to #archived-modding-development, check the pinned messages for Sprite Packer
thank you!
#art-discussion pins should have a folder with the individual pngs
That you can edit
thank you!
mods list in the options menu, also i would like to say this is my first time using mods as you can probably tell
So you clicked the orange box and it turned into a blue tick?
(or maybe a blue box I don't remember)
mhm
Have you opened hollow knight since?
yea and i have the menu
Do this
Delete anything with globalsettings.json at the end

try reconecting or restarting the controller?

Try clicking the back button rather than using B or ESC
it keeps coming back
Yes it should when you open your game

When you open your game it remakes it, this time without the bug
Or at least that's the plan
do i need to get rid of that
Do your mods work now?
haha i wish
that's the weirdest bug I've seen in a minute and this is Hollow Knight we're talking about
Thank you !!
Not all mods appear in this menu FWIW
Are you on 1.4 or 1.5?
1.4.3.2
Then it won't be in there. It's just on your pause screen
do i need to put a skin in the folder for it to show?
Hm
dont need to do anything with the skins at all?
There definitely wasn't a customknight.globalsettings.json?
Your skins need to go in the custom Knight folder also, but you should still have the custom Knight UI and also the mods should be listed in the top left
Double check for this in the saves folder
just moddingapi.global settings.json
brb
back
if it were to be there what folder would it be in
Just the main one, no sub folder
Very confusing that it's not generating the file
I'm out of ideas at this point

You likely got the wrong installer. You will need scarab
also if this helps
randomizer 3 isnt on scarab so i am using radience
i forgot to edit that
Did you downpatch?
oh, i am just stupid
I don't think unity player. DLL should be in here
@hard furnace
im guessing thats why my hollow knight wont open? i was just about to say my hollow knight wont open
oh ok
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
steam
im guessing by downpatch you mean changing it to 1.4.3.2
because thats what i have it on
how do I install mods on cracked hollow knight?
You cannot
Oh, then you'll need mod installer 2 then
ok
Seriously?
This is the official HK discord
Why would you expect to get help for a stolen game? 🤣
it makes sense hahaha
if you have any typos it's because I'm Brazilian and I'm using google translator😫
oh maybe even more help to you even tho the convo/help period has ended im on a asus swift
okay so, i verified integrity of my game files. now my mods wont work anymore. ive tried reinstalling hk and modinstaller2
any idea what the issue is here?
Verifying integrity will remove the missing API
In mod installer 2 you should see Modding API say "out of date" with an orange box
However
If you're on the latest patch you'll need to use scarab
i figured it out - i just needed to re-enable everything in the modinstaller
i jumped the gun a bit on asking for help
so im using mod installer 2 and im on 1.4.3.2 in hollow knight and when i make a new game this happens

This looks like you're missing vasi
What mods do you have on?
whats that?
It's a mod that other mods need to work
thats all of them
i installed and enabled vasi
so i installed a multiplayer mod and loaded up hollow knight and it started doing the same thing, but all the other mods i have on are ok
so ive tried both mod installer 2 and scarab on both versions and its still not working
Not opening
So, I tried to install some mods and then downloaded ModInstaller for HK. Turns out the .exe doesn't even open, so I can't use it. It creates a file called AU.exe in my desktop but nothing happens after that. Can someone help me?
Delete it and redownload it, you have an outdated installer. Or you can installer mod installer 2, but seeing as it's outdated, yous hould get scarab, it's for the latest update that happened semi recently
what's not working
hollow knight wont open, i have it on patch 1.4.3.2 and when i try to open hollow knight it just doesnt open
verify your game integrity using steam, run mod installer once, try opening it
scarab crashes when i open it, how to resolve?
I put it on Ver 1.4.3.2 but the mod API won't download\
i did that and now my hollow knight will open but mods dont work
open the options menu, is there a mods tab?
no
Wdym? You mean if you click install next to modding api it doesn't download? Or do you mean mods aren't showing up in game? What installer are you on?
Have you tried closing it and restarting it?
Yes

The menu opens, says that modloader is installed but out of date
ive gone through all of the settings and no mods option
I'm just downloading the API directly
Are you on mi1 or 2?
im using scarab, so i think 1
is there a mod which guarantees menderbug spawns
im i not supposed to? ive never done mods so i dont know anything, i was just told to go on 1.4.3.2
I don't think so
this is what it looks like if that helps
You could probably use debug to give yourself infinite soul to make it a tad bit faster tho
got it working
Mod installer 1 and 2 are for 1.4.3.2 (1 and 2 are mostly the same), there's more mods on 1.4 then there are on 1.5, mainly randomizer isn't on 1.5 yet, so you only need to be on 1.4 if you want one of the mods that isn't on 1.5. Scarab is for 1.5
This is mod installer 1 and mod installer 2, scarab has the same UI as mi2
when i go on steam and click properties and go to betas would it just be none?
Setting it to none would make it 1.5
ok
So how do I install mods through the installer
Anyone know how to get scarab to work on mac? I downloaded the mac zip from the link to scarab in the pinned messages and got scarab, put it on my desktop, and opened it, but every time I open the app it says it quit unexpectedly. I also tried it with mod installer 2 and got the same results :/
Click install
Just gives an orange check and nothing happens
Then it's installed
But I can't click activated
yeah
Try right clicking scarab, selecting "Show package contents", and then look for an app called "Scarab" in the folder that opens, if you find it, move it to your desktop and run it.
wdym you can't enable it? What happens when you click?
Move your mod installer to your desktop, make sure it's not inside a zipped file, and run it as administrator
Where's the dill for the hollow point mod
Oh wow! Thank you, it finally worked :))
so i have scarab open on my pc and hollow knight is in patch 1.5 and the mods are still not loading in
i got it working, thanks for all the help!
does Debug mod have a mode where you just autoslash?
or is that some sort of bug. I was doing ultimatum radiance when suddenly I noticed I was slashing weird, I couldn't tell if I was slashing or if there was some sort of autoslash enabled.
How do I add the hollowpoint mod
There's no dill
I put the folder in mods and it doesn't read
WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK
Not a single mod will download
I tried it, but it still doesn't work.
was playing room randomizer when suddenly my game crashes and the mod installer won't detect my hollow knight install anymore
I am using the steam downpatched version
Having some trouble with the beeg/smol knight mod
i’m only small and i want to be big knight
and there’s no option to switch that i’ve seen
is big knight a separate mod or nah
How do I get mod installer???

After downloading Scarab there's a weird menu that I can't unhide while playing. It shows things like my position and the amount of Grubs I have (no this is not the debug mod menu). How do I get rid of it?
Can you screenshot it?
You sure that isn't debug? Have you tried pressing the various f# buttons?
Just tried fn + f1 and it worked, thank you
hello, does anyone know how to set bindings for debug mod? (using 1.2.2.1 version if that changes anything
Try clicking the white dots across from the binding name in the bindings menu and then press the key you want
I cant get customKnight to work? Im on newest version, and scarab says ive installed custom knight but the menu doesnt pop up when i go to the esc menu? Do i need to download any files or something?
Open the options menu > go to the mods tab > custom knight > select skin
anyone have any idea of what causes this
I dont see that?
Where is options?
In the pause menu
That happens when the mod installer gave you an error and you clicked continue
OHH
Close the installer, reopen it, and screenshot the error instead
sounds like this, did you try and install QoL, Vasi, or Rando 3?
Uhhh update.
I clicked open skin and it just opens file explorer, theres no open button or anythin
no i haven't does it matter that i've got the game on microsoft store?
I said "Select Skin", open skin opens the skins folder so you can add new skins
Yes, it does. Unfortunately you can't mod that version
Clicking select skin doesnt do anything for me
ah well i guess ill get it on steam then
In case you're patient and would like to save money, the game goes on sale very frequently on steam, I believe like every other month, and almost always for half off
Saw the multiplayer room rando stream earlier this week. The sharing items when one person picks them up, does that require a separate mod?
Can you show a screenshot?
thank you and ill keep it in mind
I believe that's called ItemSync, I'm not really well versed in all the randomizer add-ons, but I do know you can find all of that stuff in the Speedrunning Community server. There's an invite to this server linked in the pins of #randomizer/#speedrunning, then check the randomizer channels in there
I'm having issues getting my controller to work for randomizer
Okee, thanks!!
What OS are you on?
I'm running windows 10
Steam?
yeah steam
Sorry nope, but i put all my skin files in the skins folder, but pressing select skin doesnt do anything.
controller worked fine on 1.5
They are winrar files tho, is that bad?
Well, first. A simple thing to try would be to close the game, unplug your controller, launch the game, and plug your controller back in when you're on the main menu
Yes, zipped files won't work. Right click them and select one of the "Extract" options, Preferably "Extract here"
yeah no luck with that
Ok i pressed extract here, but select skins still dont work
restart your game
On it
Okay, next try going to steams big picture mode. In the settings there, go to the controls options, and select your control configuration type. Then go to your library, select HK, and in the "Controller options" switch "Forced steam inputs" to on, and try it out
Ok so ive got selected skin and hit apply but the knight doesnt change
Press fix skins
Still wont work
Try these
What is satchel?
A mod
It'll show up in the top left of the pause menu if you have it
If not make sure to get it
Idk what the f happened but my computer doesn't recognize my controller anymore
Idk why
Did you try the other things?
2 idk but it should be working the png file is in the skin name file
Can you screenshot the inside of the skin folder?
Oh nvm it started working
I was trying to equip a grimmchild skin to the knight :[ im just a tiny bit blind
Oh, lol
Ty for the help tho!
It says that my HK is too outdated to use radiance host...
How do I fix that?
Can I change what version my HK is on or is that just not possible?
You can change your version or get the newer installer, and also it means your hollow knight is too updated

What is the name of the gun nail mod?
Hollow Point
Thank you.
Hihi, Recently I tested custom knight and debug mod(infinite jump) , then i decided to delete it and back to original but why the infinite jump is still there ?
i have uninstalled modinstaller and redownload whole Hk + verify integrity files on Hk

Reinstall debug and disable it, many changes debug makes change variables in the save file, which means it's not tied to the mod and it has lasting effects. Infinite jump is actually a variable that can be toggled
For what?
okie i actually thought of this .. thanks
appreciate for the replies
Has anyone else had a bug where custom knight makes you a white block that cannot move?
hey guys, kinda new into modding and first time modding HK
I installed the Mantis Gods mod and it says its working
but the boss fight didn't changed
do I need to trigger any specific conditions? or is it in a different location?
Not the "cannot move" part, but for the white block
- Restart your game and change skins
- Change skins in small rooms like stag stations
- Be patient when changing skins, don't spam click
im trying on the pantheon rn
Have you tried doing it in HoG? Also are you on a godseeker save?
yes, im in the godseeker
I've found I can deactivate the block by deactivating and reactivating the mod but I still can't change to anything but default.
Make sure you have Vasi installed and enabled
Set it to default, restart your game, and try changing skins.
Okay.
having this showing up is a sign that its working right?
can i use skins if i have my console connected to my pc?
No modding works on consoles
Modding does not work for consoles
Mods only work for the Steam or GoG versions of the game
what does GoG stand for
Good Ol' Games
I am unable to attack,
Yes, but make sure you have Vasi installed, it doesn't show up in-game but it may still be
Why can I not attack?
OH
It's because I only have down swing
That's an unlucky cursed nail--
That's not unlucky, that's the entire setting
Wait, it is? I thought you start with a random direction--
Yep
Press Alt + enter on your keyboard
My custom knight is still broken.
Did you try going to a casual save?
And thank you.
yes
Then I'm sorry I'm not really sure
I am just invisible...
its ok, im trying to figure it out on my own
thx for trying thou
question, to fight the mantis god you need to challenge sisters of battle or regular mantis lords?
It works on either
River?
Whenever I try to start up hollow knight it just gives me an image of the knight with a red exclamation mark above their head... I assume this has something to do with modding, but I've uninstalled both the mods and hollow knight itself. I'm really bad at fixing problems in my computer and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could fix this issue. Thanks!
How do I fix custom knight?
That happens when you use the wrong mod installer for your game version, and you probably just deleted the mods folder instead of removing the API, which is what matters. IF you want to go back to vanilla, verify your game integrity via steam ( Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files), if you want to use mods, either download scarab from the pins or check the third pinned message to downpatch

Great, thanks for the pointers! Will do!
Are you sure your skins are installed right?
Can you screenshot the inside of one of the skin folders?
I...
I've found the problem.
I thought skins came pre-installed like an idiot.
What'd be the best place to find Hollow Knight skins?
is it possible to mod hollow knight if installed form the xbox game pass?
Yes. However you need a file dumper because XBox is mean and hides files. At least in my experience.
ah ok ty tho (:
There may be easier ways.
ill try to figure it out tommorow its really late rn
I find it amazing how yall made modding in this game so intuitive and easy and I still can't do it
@native ice, thanks so much, that all worked perfectly!
Nvm, found it.
You gusy sure it doesn't have to be sisters of battle, cuz thats the only explanation I can think of
everything says its on
it just doesn't work
Iirc you have to fight sisters of battle in godhome
Godseeker bad
yeah river told me
Use normal or steel soul save
tried that too
the only difference is that I don't have sisters on my regular save
so thats like
the only thing I can think of
Then you gotta go get em
so it has to be sisters?
I assume yes
they are in p4 or p5?
When I downloaded the smolknight mod on modinstaller1, I wasnt able to head to its settings to change my knight size, any fix for this?
can one of you guys please send me the link for the modding downloaad
check pins
ok thanks
My custom knights still don't work.
They now appear in game.
But I can't change them.
I haven't been able to open hk with the modding api at all
I try to open in and it just closes instantly
will transferring to 1.4 corrupt my 1.5 save?
I tried to downpatch to 1.4.3.2 as well but it opens without the api on
this is happening to me too
how do you connect to multiplayer mod?
as soon as i try to open hollow knight it closes instantly even after ive disabled all mods
- Where did you get Hollow Knight?
- Which installer did you get and where from?
- What exactly have you done so far?
- Where did you get Hollow Knight?

No
I believe you change the settings in a settings file. Head to your saves folder. (Though I could be wrong.)
already fixed it
thanks
hey, just wondering if I can use mods from scarab alongside mods from modinstaller 2 on the 1.4.3.2 patch. Will this muck anything up? Thanks
i installed a different installer and it worked, thanks though
No you cannot
Scarab is for a different version of the game
when i tried to open the mod installer file, it said this, what do i do?
