Unless your plan is to use randomizers, which aren't currently available on scarab, in which case you'll need to check the third pinned message and then get mod installer 1 or 2
So my pv got stolen
I did pale prince, and when I uninstalled the mod they took pv with them
Now I can’t fight them in the hall of gods and I haven’t tested p4
my enemy randomizer isnt working? what should i do
Can I download Mods on xbox game pass pc?
I can't get the multiplayer mod to work, what can I do?
Thanks a lot
Does it show up in the top left corner of your main menu? If yes, is there a [Load Enemy Randomizer] button in the upper left of the main menu and did you press it?
Is there any mod on Mod Manager I can use for unlimited jumping, immunity? Kinda trying to do ||Path of Pain||
Debug mod
Thank you!

Hello.I tried modding my game by using scarab (Version 1.5.68) and this poped out when i booted up the game and then it crashed.Any idea what to do with it?
Where did you purchase the game
I pirated it becouse i can't afford it yet.I am saving up for it though and will buy it 3 times when i can.
- You can’t mod pirated versions
- That version is outdated
I see.thanks for help.
Any mod installer that works for macOS 10.12.xx or am I fresh out of luck?
Have you tried the ones in the pins?

Yeah mod installer 2 says it needs macOS 10.13 or higher to run and Hollowknight won’t even run on 1.5.xx so I didn’t bother with scarab.
Where can I find the mods to manually install them if not using a mod installer?
What version of hollow knight are you on?
(1.4.3.2)
Are you sure?
.
Plus the pinned messages say version numbers so they would probably ask about it if they didn’t have 1.4.3.2
I’m on version 1.4.3.2

The google drive has most 1.4.3.2 mods on it
Actually nvm I forgot the path to install the ModdingApi to on Mac, sorry
Basically you want to find a file called Assembly-CSharp.dll in your hk application contents and replace it with the one from the ModdingApi mod in the google drive. Then create a mods folder in the same location as the file and put mod .dll files in there
Thank you
Any ideas for this, please?;o; Every mods are disabled
The issue here being debug mod is on? Screenshot your mods folder and your installer.

What mods can Scarab currently run? Or well, can it run the skin mods to make your character look different?
yes
now I just gotta figure out what to do once I've installed it, lol
If you wanna know which mods specifically work there’s a pastebin in the pins that lists them
Also the mods you’re talking about is called custom knight
ah okay, I'll check that once I figure out whether to extract all the files to open the application 'Scarab' or not.
ah okay, thanks for letting me know
Do you have to extract all the files for the application to work? I'm trying to run it without and it doesn't seem to be working.
do you have to unzip the mod launcher file?
why dose my game keep crashing??
is there something i did wrong with this?
@balmy lodge @mellow island
Yes, you must unzip the installer to use it.
You should also put the folder that your make from unzipping it, onto your desktop
thanks
ah okay, thanks. trying to get different skins rn, which I hope works.
If you have issues, look through the pins of this channel for the Custom Knight one. Lots of useful info there
Alright, cheers. Now it's time for the big reveal. Will the blood knight skin work or not.
do I need to unzip the skin file too for it to work?
👍
yaaay, it works, thank you

is there a file for 1.5 that's not WinZip?
i have a small question: has anyone been able to edit the skins of the bosses? like Nosk or The Knight?
Is there a debug mod for 1.5.2?
Yes
How do i go about it, is it via the Custom Skins mod?
No,I don´t think so but there are Mods like Golden Godhome e.t.c.
How do you mean that?
Never modded before, want to do a randomizer that is fun but not stupid(Radiance spawning as a random enemy), which mods should i get?
What randomizer do you want to do
I dont know what can be randomized honestly
rooms sound fun
items
bosses?
I dont mind if its hard but i dont want it to be stupid
Item,enemys,rooms,pantheons
Is that all under randomizer3?
All epect enemy and pantheon
I dont think im too big of a fan of enemy randomizing
okay sick
ill do without those i think
Any other mods that are good to have?
benchwarp is in room and item randomizer maybe required and custom knight but only if you want to
Custom knight is cute
Also be sure to downpatch and download the right installer in order to play the rando look at the pins
i downpatched already hopefully i got the right installer too
That’s cool you’ll be surprised by how many people don’t do that
when you got mod installer 1 or 2 you should be fine
I made sure to try to google most stuff before i came here
hmm how do i edit settings for the randomizer?
Nevermind got it
thats nice
Man will i even know where to go if i use item + room randomizer
that sounds really bad now that i think about it
Nah leave room and area for wayyyy later
is item + area not fine?
Start with a nice item rando, with like mild skip or something and without stupid stuff like geo rocks randomised
The thing is that « area » is super super large, so like everything is an area
You could randomise more items like grubs map
But yeah it’s good
I randomized maps roots and grubs too
removed shade skip because its lame
does area randomizer mean you get a random room in the same area every time you switch rooms
I think i saw someone randomize which direction they could attack
not sure
i dont mean to sound like an idiot by any means but i installed the current patch mod installer and the custom knight skins arent popping up. Have i done something wrong?
have you installed the zip files?
wdym
there is a file in it were the textures are
yes you need to unzip the file or it dont work
what skin do you use
do you have installed satchel?
yes it must be enabled
they cant be outdated bc team cherry never made a chnge of the knights textures only addet
yes
Ok i think i softlocked myself
took the stag to dirtmouth and theres no way to open the door
You randomized the lever.you can use benchwarp or the stag
reimstall scarab but save the skins in a other file
yh i managed to get it working again
and i tried another mod so i know thats not the issue
so its probably just skin placement
as in its probably in the wrong folder or something
how do you even change skin?
got it
im dumb
i thought it was on the side
not in options
sorry lmao
every think ok
thanks
Hey can somebody help me out with the mod installer?
Have you looked at the pins ? You might have your answer there
Sweet yeah that helped thanks
I also want to know how to use the older mod installers though so how do I downgrade my game? I can't see older versions of the game because I just got it
It says I have to have the right version but I don't know how to get it to the correct version
I see in the pins I need to go to Beta in properties but I cant find it
So I have the same problem still can anyone help with it
If you want to speedrun Hollow Knight it is not possible to be competitive on the latest version of the game. What you will need to do is downpatch to an earlier version of the game. Also note that you may need to use a down graded version of Hollow Knight in order to use some mods as some mods are broken on the latest version of the game.
If y...
Relyea did a video on it and I think i got it idk if it helps
ok thank you I will try this
Ohhhh I'm dumb dude we find the properties in the steam library
I got it working now
ok
Yeah the steam beta system makes it work in like 3 clics it’s awesome
nope 1
Uh
hold on one min
I think 2 is like better in everyway but sure
downloading it currently
So you have downpatch to 1.4.3.2 using steam ?
i did that
And it wouldn’t boot up the game ?
no i just booted it up but there would be no mods there in the top left
And I assume you installed some mods, then I guess it might be an issue with whichever folder the mods get installed
Go try with 2, I’m not sure then just like check everything and reboot you computer
nope it did not work
What mods are you wanting to install?
If you want mods for current patch, then you need to use Scarab.
If you want mods that aren't on current patch (mainly Randomizer), then you need to change to the 1432 Beta.
Info for that is in pins 
Most likely no matter what, you'll need to do the "if mods still aren't working" steps in the third pin, as that fixes a lot of common issues
custom knight, infinite grim, hpbar, and grimchild upgrades
can anyone help me please, i am trying to set up mulyiplayer i am using zero tier i am unclear on how to join a server i have tried the zero tier ip and nothing happened
my modinstaler is not opening
try deleting it and reinstalling it
k
Yo how do I use the mod installer to install mods that I downloaded such as the ak47 one
Hey, sorry to bother you, but did you figure this out?
hello, i managed to install modinstaller, but my control doesn't want to work anymore, could someone help me?
Did you read the readme?
Tbh at this point I’m putting the readme in game
how do i read an md file
Open it in notepad
hii, i downloaded the custom knights mod, added a few skins, and for some reason only one of them works, the other two just don’t change the knight at all.
no not yet
This is likely that the file structure is incorrect for those skins. Check that the way they are set up matches the ones that work.
i feel so stupid, there was a zip file inside that i didn’t unzip, thank you
somebody?
I'm not sure how to solve the problem specifically, but you can use something like xpadder to map controller buttons to keyboard keys which will at least get you working.
thank you, it helps
HKMP question: Each player needs to have a copy of the skins, with the same IDs?
cause I assume the server doesn't transmit whole ass skins, just the IDs of which ones which player is using, and the client handles selecting skins using that id
why does the title say hollow knight silknever?
That's a 1/100 chance with Debug mod
Having some trouble manually adding the API on Max could anyone tell me what I am potentially doing wrong and/or how to do it right?
Also should the folder be named “Data” or “hollow_knight_Data”
Mac has a completely different layout, open the hollow_knight_Data folder, and then the Managed folderi nside that, there'll be a couple Assembly-CSharp files. Then in the game files, go down the following path: \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\ and place the Assembly-CSharp files into the Managed folder, replacing existing ones
Slight problem there the managed folder by default is empty. The game somehow runs but when I put the Assembly-CSharp files in there nothing changes and the game still just runs normal
Make sure you follow the exact path, mac has two managed folders for whatever reason
There is no folder named “hollow_knight_Data” by default there is one named just “Data” I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game to be sure and still no luck.
Tell me if any part of this sounds wrong: open steam, right click Hollow Knight [1.4.3.2] in library, hover over manage, click browse local files, right click hollow_knight and click Show Package Contents, expand folder named contents, a bunch of stuff and folders show up one of which is named “Data” with “Managed” inside of it and nothing inside of “Managed” there is no folder named “hollow_knight_Data”
Oh never mind I think I figured it out it was the managed folder inside of the Data folder inside of the resources folder
Yes, that's what i said
You never said it was in the resources folder. It did help to know there was two folders of the same name though

Here's the tutorial #archived-modding-help message
nvm, modinstaller 2 is more easier to use
i need help installing custom knight for my mac, i have the skin and the zip file, but i can't figure out how to add it to the custom knight mod
I'm having this issue at the moment, not the a screen shot of mine (it go's past to fast)
If you're using mi2/scarab, press "Open Mods" in the bottom left of the installer, open the "Custom Knight" folder, and place the skin folder (make sure you unzip it) into the folder
You're using the wrong installer for your game version, get Scarab from the pins or check the third pinned message
I am trying to run mod installer 2 to play rando 3
Then check the third pinned message
i believe I've done what its said
You're on 1.4.3.2?
I’m getting some fail to load message that tell me to check modlog.txt, where do I find that?
On what mod?
Custom knight and randomizer
Make sure you have the dependencies, ModCommon for custom knight, and QoL, Vasi, Benchwarp, and SereCore for randomizer
Yep have all 5 of those and it still fails to load
Are you on 1.4?
Yep 1.4.3.2 all the dependencies say they load with no errors but those two don’t

Is it possible to play multiplayer and a randomizer on Hollow Knight? If so on what patch with what applications
Yes. Randomizer is only on 1.4. And it's basically just running a multiplayer server and both players start a randomizer, probably with the same seed
Which application is used for multiplayer on 1.4?
The HKMP mod, and a VPN (ZeroTier or Hamachi)/Port Forwarding/A public server
HKMP Info:
#archived-modding-help message
ohh ok, thanks!
Just tried that and no luck.
i try to boot the game with only hkmp and more saves and i just get a black screen
@native ice realized the problem with the custom knight mod was that there was a folder missing/in the wrong place by reading the error log so I put the folder there and now it works! Still no luck with the randomizer as I have no clue what it wants.

Hey does anyone know decoration master very well? I can't get the teleport crystals to work
I've tried jumping into them, swiping at them, dashing, etc. etc. I'm putting one crystal's identity into another's destination, am I doing something wrong?
Basically I'm trying to make a custom map that's ideal for speedrunner vs hunter multiplayer games, except more fair, lower skill floor, and much more creativity in routing by eliminating how linear the game is early on. It's going REALLY well but I need to enable a way to skip the baldur without getting spirit first. I mean I can always put in the rules that you can temporarily enable fireballs using debug mode to clear a baldur, that's just not very convenient. I'd love to build the change into the map but nothing in decoration master can kill the baldur and the hazard respawn thing won't let me get around it. Was hoping teleportation crystals could get me around them...any suggestions/ideas?
can anybody help me w this
Is your game on 1.4.3.2?
oki
Does anybody know what I'm supposed to do after I download scarab from Git hub?
Unzip the folder, open it, run Scarab.exe
dont need to i reset the game a few times and it started working
my enemy randomizer is like broken the enemys are randomized but its the same enemy for every room
Did you check the settings? Unless you enable the Chaos setting (there might be another one that does it) all enemies of the same type are randomized to the same enemy, i.e. if one crawlid turns into absrad, all crawlids will be absrad
oh so i can only do it with chaos mod?
No, the chaos setting in the enemy rando options
well where do i find that?
Well you'll need to restart your game, but it's in the options menu
ok ill try it
im in the main menu i dont see anything in options
accept in the mods part i can turn on and off the enemy randomizer
Screenshot the options menu
is there a place to download mods separate of the mod loader?
I can’t see dreamnail dialogue, Is this a modding issue?
WindowsKey + shift + S
or just press the prt sc button, and ctrl + v into Discord
Can’t see dialogue from enemies, it works on npcs though
Why, out of curiosity?
Is the "Enemy Randomizer" text at the bottom a button?
i tried clicking it and nothing happend
You should be able to, make sure you click it with your mouse, it doesn't let you select it with keyboard/controller
yeah i clicked it with mouse and the text flashed but nothing happend
hm
I can’t see dreamnail dialogue of enemies, is there a way to fix this?
i dont know if these are considered mods but how do i get skins?
In the pins are two Google drive folders with them
You can also look up skin showcase videos on YouTube
so like how do i download it>
That message comes with a tutorial
If you installed mods, then you do have that folder
well uhh i cant find it anywhere and i followed the tutorial
By default it's something like \Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
are you on mac?
no windows
Are you using Mod installer 2?
no
Oh yeah.
Scarab and MI2 have the botton 
Indeed
Then (assuming you're on steam) go to your steam library > right click HK > select properties > local files > browse > in the folder that opens go down the path: \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
oh i found it thanks
i put the skin mod in custom knight folder and it wont let me change skins it just doesnt show up
it amazes me how i can have so many problems with a computer
You need to make sure that the skin is installed correctly. It should be exactly like the "default" skin, but with a folder name other than "default"
it just says grimm knight (made by mola)
and i downloaded it the way the tutorial guy did it
ill just try a different skin
All skins need extracting
so i right click than extract?
ok i hope this works if it doesnt ill just give up
it worked thank you so much!
it uhh doesnt look the same from when firborne showed it off
it doesnt have the same like spell effects
I'm pretty sure that there are two different Grimm Knights
Also, spell effects vary from the level 1 and 2 spells
Also also, some skins have "alternate" stuff you can change
In the skin folder
Hi
I cannot heal after some mod installations
I deleted them all and reinstalled the game
That didn’t work
You should have read the ReadMe for Hollow point
If you want to fix it, look through the pins 
theres not very many skins
I think I don’t even have that mod installed anymore
is there like more somwhere?
Is it still causing problems after uninstalling?
Doesn't matter if it's installed. It permanently edits your save
Like it says
In the ReadMe
Okay
In the pins are two Google drive folders with them
You can also look up skin showcase videos on YouTube
I mean, there's a lot of public skins
There's two google drives full, that's most the publically available ones, you may be able to find a few scattered about on youtube or elsewhere, and there's always the option of paying someone to make you your own skin
Or even making your own
Tbf, finding someone to do a skin commission is incredibly difficult
Makes sense, a little surprising given the size of the server
my computer is going to explode
I also don't know what the rules for asking for a commission are in #art-discussion . But I've never really seen anyone in #modding-discussion show seemingly genuine interest in accepting one
the other grimm knight skin didnt work
If a skin doesn't work, then it's because you installed it incorrectly
Check what's different between the working ones, and the not working ones
Something is different-- else it'd work
i did the same steps i did last time
Post screenshot like this of the skin that's not working
Also, just making sure:
You restarted the game right?
You can't install new skins while the game is open
Rather, you can, but it won't matter until you restart
but the one that worked looks like this
The skin you are currently showing in this picture is called "CustomKnight"
O
As in, the skin-name folder you have it in, is titled "CustomKnight", and thus that is how it will show up in-game
theres a skin name folder?
Within this skin, you have another folder titled "GrimmKnight", that will be ignored by custom Knight entirely
im so sorry for how dumb i am thank you so much
never mind
i think i got it this time
oh my gosh it worked thank you so much
@hollow lance send me a screenshot of your custom knight folder?
does scarab let you manually download mods? and if yes how? I'd like to play absolute inferno king but it isn't in the mod list
If it isn't on the list it likely isn't available for 1.5
Scarab has an "open mod folder" button
You can put mods that are available for 1.5 in that folder.
^
Again though, pretty much any 1.5 mod is on the installer.
Scarab does have AIKG tho
It's just called "Inferno King Grimm"
And you can toggle it to be Absolute in the in-game settings
OOOOHHH
thank you
I did IKG already but I was confused as to why I couldn't find AIKG
tysm
It should just be called "hard mode" in the WeaverCore menu in the bottom right of the pause/main menu
i think its only in the main menu and not the pause menu
@native ice it's there.
while we are on the topic of mods that aren't in the mod installer, does that mean i can't use Gradow's Bonfire Mod if it isn't in the installer?
oh sorry, misread who posted
Not on Scarab, if you want to use it you can go back to 1.4.3.2 and download it from Mod installer
I don't know how to downpatch and it's about 4 in the morning for me. so i think i'll just shelve that idea for now.
It's very simple
really? well thanks for the heads up. i'll give it a go when i wake up.
Then you can't mod

Right click the folder
On Scarab, there is a button on the bottom left
Same with Mod Installer 2
That says "open mod folder"
ok
Oh, I see what you were asking.
now i have all the charm sprites
You shouldn't. Post a screenshot of your pause menu?
on game ver1.4.3.2
Those shouldn't be in that folder, but regardless now you're in your mods folder.
Assuming your using Scarab and are on 1.5, then skins need to go into Custom Knight > Skins iirc
ok
now im in and cna choose between swapper demo and default
Paste your folder here
Those are skins you have, yes
yeah ok
They come with custom Knight
So a folder with the name of the skin, then the images inside that folder
now what?
Any other skins you want to add go into that folder, next to Default and Swapperdemo.
This looks fine.
If it crashes again, post your modlog here (it's in your saves folder)
sorry it was a softlock, not a crash
screen just turns completely white
Do you have Vasi installed?
Is there dubug mod for scarab?

What specifically did you install?
And where did you get Hollow Knight from?
Did you read the messages that you downloaded from?
You need certain installers for certain patches
Download the correct one (Scarab, of you're on current patch).
You'll probably will need to do this too, #archived-modding-help message , because opening the wrong installer can bork your game
@lavish prairie here is the fix
okay it worked, thank you a lot
modloader doesn't work after the first time for me
so... scarab is the most up to date mod installer?
Not necessarily
It is but some mods still aren’t supported, most notably randomiser
So if you want to play that you will have to downpatch and download an other installer
Make sure you read the pins, and are using the correct mod installer.
its the same file I ran the first time
so is there a way to run the hollow knight skin mode with the gun one because it not changing my skin when I pick and I go to title screen to see if it changes I even got off the game to see if it changed and nothing happened
the mods i installed the first time work fine, I just can't add new ones
Nope both mods are mutually exclusive
A. You need to change skins within save files, on the pause screen menu. Do not change skins from the title screen menu.
B. Hollow Point conflicts with Custom Knight a bit. If you set your skin in custom Knight, then close the game and reopen it, it might work because it gets around what HP does to lock the skin. This doesn't work for everyone though for some reason.
Huh guess I’m kinda wrong then my bad
It's possible that you're using an old version the installer. You may need to redownload it.
Regardless, you can see where the installers get mods from by looking at the modlinks.xml file
https://github.com/hk-modding/modlinks/blob/main/ModLinks.xml
I would recommend getting your installer working though, because it's useful for updating things.
alright thanks
Fwiw, the skin work around wasn't possible for awhile. That being said, if it's 1.5, then I also would hesitate to ever say that CK is mutually exclusive from anything, as it has Swapper in it, which allows for re-skinning anything in the game, not just The Knight
Are there instructions on how to use debug mod? I don’t see any on the read me
You press f1 while in game to access the menu
@zenith kiln
Close Scarab and Hollow knight
Download and run this script to reset Scarab's memory: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/890824593848299550/HKModInstaller_Reset.bat
After it's done, open Scarab again, and click to reinstall a mod (any mod that you want, it doesn't matter)
When it says the mod is done installing, trying launching hollowknight again
thanks!
that fixed it
My Mod Installer doesn't recognize my Steam directory, it keeps asking me to select, so I go on D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight manually and say that the path is invalid. What am I supposed to do?
Oh, leave it alone, I know Mod Installer 2 and it worked.
How do I change the skin of the knight in the modinstaller because everytime I do it, it freezes my game for a minute and nothing happens
- Make sure that your skin is installed correctly (compare it to the "Default" skin)
- Change skins in a small room (like a stag station)
hey, i'm new to modding hollow knight and i'm confused on what i'm supposed to do to get things squared away. i'm just looking for health bars.
?pins first pin explains what you need

yeah but my autism is making it hard for me to understand.
- Download Scarab
- Extract the folder you download
- Move that new folder to your desktop
- Open Scarab (which is inside that folder)
That has all the mods you can use on it.
Just click what you need.
ok. thank you
hi again, for some reason, when i load mods now my save files won’t appear, and the mods don’t even load, the bar doesn’t show when opening the game. I uninstalled every mod, checked my steam file integrity (which said it was missing things) redownloaded some mods, and i have the same issue.
?pins theres a message about that in the pins
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
ah okay thank you
is there a mod that lets you edit achievements
Yeah it's called Steam Achievement Manager
But you should really just get them legit.
Not everyone is asking to cheat in achievements, some people like to remove achievements and get them again
is the mod manager still the main modding source or is there something else
Still is, there's now a version for 1.5 tho
the custom knight skin mod works by itself but not with point but it used too
I assume you mean HollowPoint?
all i had to do was go too title screen and i had a skin on with the hollow point mod active
yes
Try disabling HollowPoint (from the mod menu or closing the game and using the mod installer) then loading a game, putting on the skin you want to use, and re-enabling Hollow Point
oh wait
you mean the mod just isn't working
does it show up in the top left of the pause menu?
So it's not, can you uninstall and reinstall hollow point?
I have the installer installed but when I load the 1.4.3.2 it still wont work
anyone know how to fix this?
Im using 8.7.1 by Gradow
Try this:
#archived-modding-help message
alr ty
What is that Sharp Shadow fix on the unofficial Patch mod? Had no idea it even needed fixes, just curious.
That's a really outdated mod. Don't use it
Ah, ok.
Tbh, I do not remember what it was supposed to fix, but almost everything that it does fix was fixed in later HK updates
Oh
I just want to share my appreciation for this channel because I struggled so much with setting up the mods before I watched Reylea's video and joined this server. IDK maybe I'm just dumb /lh but this has really helped me out! Thank you so much!
i used to have a linux build of the hk mod installer, but i don't know what happened to it. i can't find it on either https://hollow-knight-randomizer.fandom.com/ or https://github.com/SFGrenade/HollowKnightModInstaller. is it publicly available? iirc, somebody just cut a build for me & posted it here
nm, i found the pins eventually
so i'm having the same issue i had with the linux modinstaller that i had before: it's breaking my controller. IIRC, this was what the guy cut a build to fix for me. apparently the default build didn't have the right stuff added for the linux build (i don't recall all the details). I assumed this would have been fixed upstream but apparently it wasn't. any advice?
i'm using modinstaller2, not scarab, since the point is to get rando working & apparently rando doesn't work on 1.5/scarab yet
this doesn't work for me btw:
- I am trying to play any mod, and MY CONTROLLER doesn't work.
- This is a known issue with the Modding API. The most consistent way to fix this is to unplug the controller before starting the game, and plug it in at the title screen.
You have to manually install the ModdingAPI for unix systems
For 1432 you need to manually install the Modding API, because the one that mod installer gets is only for Windows.
This is the Unix API:
https://github.com/HollowKnight-Modding/HollowKnight.Modding/releases/download/1.4.3.2-60/Unix.zip
Inside there's an AssemblyCSharp file, and it needs to overwrite the one you currently have. I think off the top of my head that it's in the Data folder that is in the Mods folder path
I mean, it depends on how you define "having to do with modinstaller" :P
you're right
The 1432 ModInstallers only ever get the Windows Mapi, regardless of the actual OS you're on
That was finally fixed in Scarab (the 1.5 installer)
what i mean was that i started to clone & build modinstaller2 locally on the theory that it needed to be built with linux stuff available, but this won't fix it
Ah
since what i really needed to build with the correct stuff available was modding-api
sorry but can you show me the fix? i didnt find it cause i dont know wich error this is
- Where did you get Hollow Knight from?
- What mods are you trying to use?
- What installer did you download?
I got it! I just "verified integrity of game files" on steam 🙂
Now can you point me the exact link so i can install the debug mode? My game is updated to the last version

can windows and mac play the multiplayer mod together?
are custom knight and hollow point incompatible?
whenever i use them simultaneously the knights kinda turns invisible and stays as a floating gun
Hollow Point conflicts with Custom Knight a bit. If you set your skin in custom Knight, then close the game and reopen it, it might work because it gets around what HP does to lock the skin. This doesn't work for everyone though for some reason.
In-short: Hollow Point attempts to force the default skin. Custom Knight kinda pre-sets that skin when you load the game though.
How do I make a save state with debug
Look through the bindings panel to see which keys are bound and/or which ones need bound.
You have to set QuickSave and QuickLoad I know. If you want the permanent ones, then when you find the button to set one, you press that button, then press 1 - 0 to save it to that slot.
Thank you
Hey mates anyone knows what mod makes the item selling at lemm instant?
qol
how do you delete scarab could i ask
Scarab is just an app that downloads mods, so you just delete your scarab folder. If you want to get rid of mods from your game completely you can:
- Open Scarab
- Click "mods folder" in the bottom left
- Delete that folder
- Delete Scarab
- Right click hollow knight in steam -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity
You will not longer have any mod stuff at all on your compyter
You can simply do step 5 and leave Scarab on your computer to easily get mods back later, though.
thanks

how does the infinite grimm mod work? like how does the said difficulty change work?
does anyone know why hollowpoint isint working? Im pretty sure the gun isint working because it fires once every 2 minutes and no bullet comes out, also that sword counter on the top left says 9999 so idk what that means, is it because of some other mods i have that isint compatible with hollowpoint?
Read the readme
i did
Did you read the bit that said "VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ"?
Known Issues (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO READ)
oh
ok
ok well now i see it casue before i just control f "very"
oh ok then, thanks
i see the "dont create a new save file"
So, I have another issue, I have custom knight menu in game but when I click on any of the skins nothing changes (I still have default knight)
I tried reinstalling custom knight but it doesn't help
Your file structure is likely incorrect
There's a pinned message which has common Custom Knight problems. Check those out.
okay I fixed it, thank you again
Do I use mod installer 2 for the randomizer mod?
Alright, thanks
Scarab opens and closes on MacOS
🔹 Move the file you downloaded (mac.zip) to your Desktop
🔹 Double-Click it, and Scarab
should appear
🔹 Right-Click the Scarab
icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file.
The problem may be slightly different, but this should still fix it

hello, after using scarab to have inferno king grimm, my regeneration is boosted and I can't stop it...

nevermind, i just had to run as administrator

I want to do a tas is there a beginner pack or something else ?
when i open up the game it wont even let me select the language anyone knows whats wrong?
Do you know how to make a tas using linux(rng manupilation)?
No i never use a tas
Do you play with or without mods when without you should go to #hk-help
with
Do you have Linux?
I'm on windows
Then send a screenshoot
When you use Linux you can manipulate rng with is required for Hollow Knight
ok now the select language doesnt even open but my save files arent loading ://// ill send screenshot in a few sec
Is there a "Linux launcher" for Windows ?
Which mods have you installed?
I think not
hp and modcommon which comes with it and benchwarp
Did you touch save file ?
no if i remove modinstaller 2 it works just fine
So i need to buy a other pc ?
GL with finding a way
It's modinstaller 2 the problem
i tried it with modinstaller 1 too though :////
No you can just download linux but then you cant use window
For me it work perfectly
Hmm
Then can i reinstall windows?
most likely
I hope
Yes but better watch some tutorial and make some tasses for more simple games
yea like tetris
Céleste isn't not a simple game right ?
i never tried it but the people who talk about it say its hard
if i were to pick a game for a tas id say a game called karlson its a game where you run on rooftop and shoot and thats really all and its 2d so itll be quite easy but still look cool
idk about tas or about how easy
but for those who do know it its propably easy
but i still havent fixed my situation yet so thats sad
atleast i have the base game
But without randomizer it's not as cool as with
poggers
I can't understand your problem
It's never happend to me
but they wont load
ive tried reinstalling the game
reinstalling the modinstaller
why do i have to look through the files of hollow knight to get benchwarp working and it didnt even
Go to save files and see if they are all still here
4 by save file
if the files werent there i wouldnt have unlocked 57 zote thing
and this happened multiple times and when i uninstalled the mod installer 2 it worked just fine
well no reason to argue
ill just wait till someone who knows the proplem arrives
brb
Did you try to use an other installer ?

nvm i found it
Are you using HKMP or the installer Multiplayer mod?
I can't seem to find out how to download the latest patch from GitHub
I assume you mean the installer for the latest patch? If so, go to this link and just click the highlighted word that says "[OS].exe" (OS being Windows/Mac/Linux), and it should download.
It's not there.
installer multiplayer mod
im using the installer one
what is the file path on mac for where the mods are?
your hollow knight app
I'm confused?
I thought its was like you showed the packed contents and then you went managed or something
what are you trying to do
I'm trying to put skins in

update your OS and .net framework version
my friend has this problem and we did update the .net framework
I am making something that I am keeping secret for now, but it does involve respriting most of the chracters in hollow knight. Is there some version of customknight that lets me resprite more chracters. That would be really helpful.
@real jacinth @potent atlas Idk if this is possible but it would be really helpful
Please don't ping random people
