Yes, doesn't mean you have to ping them for a question
no i am in a serious hurry
Well, I suggest you switch to HKMP (there's a link at the top of this message), but if not this is the tutorial for the installer multiplayer mod #archived-modding-help message
i downloaded that a few minutes ago, i think i actually got it figured it out now
I believe 1.5 custom knight comes with the "Swapper" feature, which i think allows you to resprite any npc
but now
anyone knows where is the newest version of mod installer
?pins

i am in a serious hurry plz 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.
river already answered you
but how tho
river how do i...
oh ok
thanks for mod
I believe there's a demo for it, it should work like any other skin but you just place the edited sprite sheet of whatever enemy it is instead of the knight sprite sheet
@native ice @real jacinth i will DM to you what i am working on only if you DONT TELL A SOUL
I don't need to know
If you're looking for help I probably won't be able to
i need someone to help me on this
i found this in my save files, if i edit this do i get more masks
sorry if this is a stupid question i suck at modding
What file is that?
Player
which one
Then no, if you want to edit your save file you can either use this website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
Or you can use one of the other methods that uses the QoL mod or MoreSaves (1.5)
Did you plan on using any mod in specific?
I just want custom night and dbug
cud you at least help me find the demo you mentioned on modding multiple sprites
Then get Scarab
which one
Are you on windows, mac, or linux?
wind
Then click Windows.zip
how do i add a texture pack
what do I do with it when I dowload that
Unzip the file, and run the "Scarab.exe" file inside it
If by texture pack you mean player skin, download custom knight and then check the pinned messages, there's a tutorial on using it
tnak you river lov ya
where can i get a custom knight
ok i just found a link
CUD YOU HELP ME FIND THIS DEMO PLZ
I'm working on it, calm down
sry
It's downloaded automatically when you install CustomKnight off scarab
It's fine
ima use grimm knight
But yeah, just installed CustomKnight off Scarab and then press the "Open Mods" button in the bottom left of Scarab, then open the "Custom Knight" folder and then "Skins" you should see one called "SwapperDemo"
And in the folder inside SwapperDemo, there'll be one that changes THK boss fight, see if you can figure it out from that
also about the not telling anyone thing, im worried that someone will go, "ooh he's making this, i'll beat him to it", as it has been suggested as a mod many times
Eh, very few people will do that. But someone may attempt to make said mod and then be dissapointed when you release it out of nowhere. Doesn't mean you have to share but it's another angle to consider
im releasing a trailer halfway through production
so noone can catch up
but they dont get dissapointed too much
Seems a bit paranoid but sure, modding shouldn't really be about who can do it first though, it's not like you're gonna be selling it, just have fun and hope people like what you made
\Mods\CustomKnight\Skins\SwapperDemo\Swap\
no swapperdemo folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\Custom Knight\Skins
Did you download it off Scarab?
yes
Here, I'll zip this folder and send it

how do i do different sprites
I believe you'd use SpritePacker and/or GODump, I'm not too familiar with these programs, but you can use em to get the sprite sheets for different things
i have dumped hollow knight and hav all the sprite sheets but all the names are weird
never mind it work
I don't think I can help you further tbh
what do i do to get an ip thing for the multiplayer mod (1.4)
If you use Hamachi, it'll give you an IP Address to use
Are you both connecting to the host's ipv4? Does only 1 person have the Server mod?
wdym server mod? we both have the multiplayer mod intsalled
There's two mods for the installer multiplayer, "Multiplayer Client" and "Multiplayer Server"
oh i didnt have the server mod specifically enabled, if thats the issue. i thought i did but i didnt check
ok. i was hosting it so yeah that was the issue. thank you

Is king's pass supposed to be missing from benchwarp?
I thought it was usually there when you do room randomizer
starting location is an option
Thx
i just installed all of the mods (all are enabled) and 1.4.3.2 wont load it just stops at a full progress bar how can i make it load
Does it crash or just load infinitely?
(1.5 Scarab) Why dose switching skins in Custom Knight sometimes make an unescapable empty menu?
does anyone know how to fix this? it started happening when I installed modloader
Close the menu by clicking on the "back" button, instead of pressing "esc" on your keyboard
ok ill try that
load infinintely. if i click on it it says "program not responding"
You got the wrong mod installer for your game version
oook
Hm, do you have a controller plugged in?
do I just delete folder?
no im using keyboard

whats the best way of color swapping a sprite sheet?
This probably isn't the channel to ask, I'd say possibly #art-discussion or #modding-discussion
Not really sure
I mean it said help and im trying to color swap a mod so
I figure it would be the best place but
mb
It's all good
no one has any tips for the loading problem?
Not really sure, maybe try uninstalling some mods
Does anyone have a copy of the assembly C sharp for modding on windows
And a list of links to all the mod files?
Why not use the installer?
It's probably not working for a reason, what installer do you have, what game version are you on, and in what way is it not working?
You have to pay for winrar and I’d rather just do it manually instead of paying
You don't have to
I tried the installer for scarab
It says it’s free for 40 days then you have to buy it
Usually you can just ignore it's requests and unzip it anyways, or I believe windows has a built in way to unzip and zip things
Ok
It says my free trial period has ended
And won’t let me use
It
Does anyone have the assembly C sharp and list of mod links?
Yes, but you can still keep using it, I believe you just need to click the X in the top right and the pop-up will go away
how do i use it then i've never used a mod installer ive always just done manual
or use like any of the other 8 ways to unzip things. native windows zip handling, 7zip, etc
are there any mods in mod intaller that take up way too much space? i was just mindlessly installing them all and now its at 3gb when i swear the average file size was at most 20mb

im trying to install the randomizer

Blackmoth/Redwing(?) has optional assets that are large.
anyone know why I am healing really fast and consuming like 11% of my soul each heal? I know it's a mod just wanna know what mod
It's because you used Hollow Point on that file, and didn't read the ReadMe that told you to not use it on a save that you cared about that happening with :P
||If you want to fix it, look in the pins
||
but I uninstalled it a while ago and it's only happening now, but ok.
thanks
It permanently edits the save file. So uninstalling it doesn't change anything.
just surprised it only appeared now
what modinstaller mod(s) are taking up wayyy too much space becuz it probably shouldnt be 3gb
I already answered this?
Also, just look at your mods folder, and look at the file sizes
oh sry i didnt see that
hey guys a friend of mine is tryin to install some mods for Hollow Knight and I'm doin a terrible job of explaining how could someone help me out?
What is there to explain?
- Download the correct mod installer (Scarab primarily, as it's the current patch installer)
- Add mods
does anyone know where to find the fireissmolbrain mod for patch 1432?
I don't think it exists
wait where can I get the mod that shows boss health?
That'd be EnemyHPBar
It gives all enemies health bars, but if you want just boss I believe you can set the normal enemy bars to 0 scale
Regarding fireissmolbrain:
A 1432 version does exist, but I'm not sure if it's public.
What does that one do?
where can I download that?
It's on the installers

I think I found the right drive

nice t he mods broke my menu background
thanks @native ice
anyone know what this means?
hollow knight doesn't start when i click on it after downloading mod installer
:/
it just crashes
does anyone know how to fix?
it happend the same thing with scarab to me
It’s probably something to do with your system or files otherwise idk
ok
What did you download?
mod installer v2
Why?
Download the installer that matches your patch
It literally tells you what patch the installer is for next to them
This is a genuine question, I'm not being sarcastic or trolling.
As somebody who has made this mistake: How can this be clearer?
i don't know
becuase me was multi tasking
and i guess i didn't read
They're asking if there's an improvement to the wording that could be made that would make that message easier to understand

Did you check the google drives?
Describe the crash please
Does enemy randomizer show up in the top left corner of the title screen? Is there a "[Load Enemy Randomizer]" button in the upper left of the main menu and did you press it?
?saves Well for one, you don't seem to have installed any mods, or if you did, and one of those mods happens to be either Benchwarp or CustomKnight, you need to head to your save files and delete the "Globalsettings" files for those mods (or all mods). Also, the mods tab (on 1.4) is pretty much just to disable mods in-game, and some mods don't even come with that feature, all that matters is that they're in the top left corner

I have been doing a multiplayer and when we join we can see eachother but we are both stationary, does anyone know a fix for this
Assuming your using the 1.4 installers multiplayer mod, that one is outdated and rather unstable, try using HKMP #archived-modding-help message

after enabling hkmp on scarab, hollow knight crashes everytime i load it
how can install scarab?
thx

You were on 1.4.3.2, you just installed 1.5 mods, click the 1.4.3.2 github link in the earlier link i sent you
oh ok ill just upgrade to 1.5
it does not let me install the mod installer because it tells me that I do not have the updated version of the game
u need 1.4
and how I install that version?
It just closes without saying anything
are u steam or GOG
Did you downpatch to 1.4.3.2?

bruh debug keeps changing my nail damage, it turns 32 damage into 38, 0, 80, it went up to around 800 once
k nvm i fixed
how do i stop this
so I installed the debug mod but it doesn't show up ingame,anyone can help?
I predded f1
pressed
try fn f1
I did
I've installed the mod before,I dunno if there's a hide menu button that I pressed on accident
it says unable to locate vanilla hollow knight when I try to revert to no mods
anyone know what the HKHKHKHKHK mod is? i installed it but i'm not seeing any visible changes
though i didnt play through much with it
That button has basically never worked.
Head to your install in Steam, right click, properties, local files, verify integrity
Sounds like you have nail damage assigned to a button you're pressing regularly like a direction or nail swing
how do i remove the text pls
k what then
can someone help me
yeah
Look through your debug mod options, there will be various "show/hide" options
^
Try each one until you find the one you want.
It's ` for me
I already did verify my integrity
But I'm also on 1.4 and this looks like 1.5
But you opened the installer
So you'll need to do it again now
What does?
manager
Why did you open it again?
am I not supposed to?
No
Literally no close the installer
If you don't want mods why are you opening the thing called "mod installer"?
oh
hey why when i click on the skins it doesnt change anything

No mod common and incorrect file structure are the two most common issues.
ty
do I need to download 3rd party software to host a HKMP game?
Well you have to get the mod, so that mean either downloading the mod installer and getting the mod from there or getting it directly which is a bit harder

It’s pretty far down but there’s a post all about multiplayer
hello what mod allows you to give yourself anything cuz i want to play hk on pc and i already progressed quite a bit on console
Debug mod
More saves also let's you do it in a slightly different way
Both would do what you need, really.
Guys i downloaded the patch for 1.5 and i tried custom knight added a bunch of skins and the game doesnt open any help
Did you use the scarab mod installer or mod installer 1 or mod installer 2
scarab one
What happens when you open the game
Are you sure you used version 1.5 and scarab
yes
And you haven’t used any other mod installers?
no
Where did you purchase the game
Yeeeeetttt
🔫
Xd
Mods don’t work on pirated versions
i see aight
does anyone know what the easiest way to set up hk multiplayer is?
Hey, I downloaded the ModInstaller, selected what I wanted but it doesn't show up in the top left of the menu when Launch. am i missing something?
I’ll give you a link to the hkmp server
Screenshot the mod installer
When Scarab says a mod is out of date, how do I update it?
Click the orange button next to that text
Install the ModdingApi mod, if it’s out of date click the orange button
The ModdingApi is what makes the game load mods
Thank you! Is the easier pantheon practice mod in Scarab? I can't find it
but I may just not know the name of the mod or something
will do thank you.

How does downpatching and uppatching repeatedly affect the game files and stuff?
Or am I okay to not worry about it?
If you mean game files, it completely overwrites them. If you mean save files, as long as you stick with versions 1.5 (aka the None beta) or 1.4.3.2 then you’re fine
Save files
I could if you’d state your problem 
okok
hi, i'm trying to use the mod installer, and it gives the message "purchase the game before play" i have one for steam so idk
Did you ever pirate the game
So basically i recently installed mod installer, and it says that i need a more recent stable version to run but i'm in the most recent beta?
long time ago, i think one year ago or something
Delete the pirated copy and I’ll link you a message on resetting the installer
tks, i already deleted
You have a installer for the 1.4.3.2 version, you have 1.5.x.x look at the first pinned message for directions on what to do (either use the 1.5 installer or downpatch to 1.4.3.2)

lol
i'm not familiar with betas
@iron chasm use the mod installer reset file in this message
They’re both practically the same, 1.5 is very recent and only included changes in what the game runs on (unity version and .net framework version) and some bug fixes and done new bugs
ok nice thank you!
Just don’t go to 1.2.2.1 if you want your save files to be ok
It only has 2 dlcs
I think it’s the grimm troupe and lifeblood?
Maybe one is hidden dreams?
it's hidden dreams and grimm troupe
and i will not worry about 1.2.2.1
because i have a separate folder for it
Ah ok
tks it worked
Yeh i got onto that pretty quick :D though may i ask about the multi player mod , ive been trying to figure my way into working it , but my m8 and i dont seem to see each other move is there a way to fix it ?
Use HKMP, which is linked in the Multiplayer Pin 
Questions is there any version of item randomizer for 1.5
how does the multiplayer work on modinstaller2
is there a way to kill all bosses with debug mod?
Not yet
Is it worth it to wait?
You could increase your nail damage. You could also delete the boss, but usually that doesn’t actually delete it
how do you increase your nail damage?
and there should be an increase "nail dmg" on the debug panel
you need pale ore and geo
The multiplayer mod on installer 1 and 2 is pretty old, not updated. On 1.5/scarab there’s hkmp, I can dm y’all the link to the server for that if you need
Are there any plans to do it in the future?
With debug mod
oh ok then
i was referring to debug mod
lemme opt into 1.5 rq then
Press the plus button iirc
ty
how do i host using hkmp
scarab
…
i meant how do i host a game using hkmp, not install
Btw
oh right
Zerotier
Not needed
Well it's the one I used so just Incase
Connecting on a local network it works on its own, you can also do port forwarding or hamachi as alternatives
is it normal for absolute inferno king grimm to crash the game occasionally?
So it’s safe to downpatch from 1.5 to 1.4.3.2 without backing up save files, right?
Yeah
And I would load the relevant mod installer each time I up or downpatch, right?
Occasionally? Maybe. If this consistently happens on one attack then it’s a bug
Yeah
it has happened on three or four different attacks
I’d contact the mod dev, now if I could remember who that is….
i accidentally put some mods in the weavercore folder, i know it sounds stupid to think that to be the issue but i might as well do a fresh install since it was working fine yesterday
thanks
how do i use the randomizer
Create a new save file
i have already
when I put the skins they do not load me in the game
how do I solve it?
You get randomizer settings when creating a new save file
Are you on 1.4.3.2 or 1.5.x.x
where
ingame or
1.5, but I use the scarab
In game, when you’re creating a new save file
Scarab is the only mod installer for 1.5
Can I have two versions of hk at the same time on steam?
So did you check the CustomKnight options in the mods menu @hollow pasture
Yes
how do I do it?
Copy paste hk then add a file to it (currently trying to find more info on this)
Use the “multiple installs” section of the downpatching guide https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guides
Tmk doesn’t work on the title screen, go into a save file and access the menu there
I keep trying to get my mod installer to work but no matter what I try it doesnt work
I try using other versions of the game AND INSTALLER Ive deleted old versions of the installer
any tips?
@wheat orchid wait i need to rephrase my question, how do i install the randomizer
dl mod installer and enable "randomizer 3"
Scarab doesn’t have it yet
It has yet to update to ver 1.5

what is it
because
wait hang on
@marsh wharf what happens when you try to use the installar
sorry my brain malfunction for a bit
is there a limit to how many people can be in the same multiplayer world?
I'm using the 1.4.3.2 version on 1.4.3.2 but its not working
imagine like 40 people all just runnin around
answer my question and we can talk
what happens when you use the installar
the installer screen is like normal but when I open the game... no mods
maybe install the mods
and be sure to click enable
and if its already enabled then it should work
I do
also the mods only activate once ur in a safe file
preferably in a throwaway safe file to not fuck up your normal one
ik
Ive used it before
but for like 4 months it hasnt been working
then i reckon you uninstall it if possible and reinstall the installer
I have
weird right?
ty for trying
np
Screenshot your main menu and your mod installer
cant screenshot because I'm stupid but here
?saves Head to your saves folder and delete anything named "globalsettings.json" at the end.

ok

This are your game files, not save files
ok is it on steam or desktop

where sorry
The pinned message and also the link preceded by the words "mod summaries" above
any button on the title screen makes me quit. how do I fix this?
I somehow broke my hollow knight and now whenever I open the game the game files WILL NOT load. I had to delete my hollow knight files ande reinstall the game to get it to work again then I tried the mods again. IT BROKE AGAIN. I did this TWO more times. I really don't know what to do to get my mods to work.
I've also tried updating the game and then down patching it. nothing works
anyone knows why does this appear this big? XDD
is it normal for ultimatum radiance balls to behave like this?
no
what do i need to host a muyltiplayer thing on 1.4
what mods and programs
i have hkmp and multiplayer server
the ultimatum radiance thing?
nah with jeshguin
i think im going to have to delete all of the mods and then try it again ig
only the zote one but anyrad wasnt there iirc
yes
i have used mods but didnt find anyrad
Use the 1.4 mod installer, download qol, benchwarp because it's nice, and modcommon
Then go into the pins here
There is a DLL file for anyrad
Put that in your mods folder
i already downloaded the dll but where is my mods folder
i feel dumb saying this, and i probably am
In the mod installer the should be a button that says open mods or something
ok thanks
Press that and it will take you there
Np
And good luck with anyrad, try to keep your sanity
there arent any buttons
Can you screenshot the mod installer?
Does anyone know how to view the hitboxes of enemy attacks and/or projectiles? (Ex. Sly's Great Slash or Galien's Scythe.)
debug mod
i think its an f key
show hitboxes will probably work but i know for sure that debug does
I actually did try Show Hitboxes, but they didn't show anything for nail arts or enemies even.
i'm here
It should be in your game files, within the Folder called hollow knight data
\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods)
I think I need help trying to get the randomizer mod to work
whenever i enable the mods the game refuses to let me start
best mods to download?? I've gotten to 106% so what would give me a newer experience?
Getting to 112% is hard af
does custom knight have any dependencies?
I believe on 1.5 it needs satchel
not sure for 1.4 but modcommon never hurts
ty!
np
I see blind ultimatum and lunatic radiance
lmaooo
weird
I think I fixed it
I have reinstalled hollow knight 3 times I still I cant get off the title. Every button I press takes me to the quit menu. And if I try to press any button on the quit menu it takes me back to the title menu. how do i fix this?
no
im getting some kinda unity error launching the game with mods on
never had this problem till this patch of the game
idk then sorry, someone else may be able to help though
yeah lumos i still cant get the link to work idk whats up
hmm 🤔 irdk then its just a plain grey screen for me
that is really weird
just search for any radiance and watch one of the videos
its a really fun boss
hey uh
what does the deploy thing in benchwarp do?
scarab doesnt open?
can someone send me a download link for the mod installer? Where I downloaded I couldn't open it
idk why
the modloader is pinned here
Places a bench
What operating system are you on and what version of hollow knight are you on
oh good i really fucking need that
i finally installed any radiance
Does this happen without the ModdingApi enabled? Could you screenshot the main menu?
Cool, if there’s nothing else #modding-discussion
oh thanks
Did you end up finding a working mod installer
yes
Alright, sorry to ping you
Main menu just looks the same as it usually is. It does the same thing even with the API disabled
So whenever you click a option in the menu it goes to the quit thing?
Yes
What version of hollow knight are you on
1.4.3.2
1.5 windows 11 if thats what you mean
I’m sorry, i remember seeing a problem like this before but can’t find a solution. If you can, try going back to ver 1.5 (reverse process of going to 1.4.3.2) and see if that fixes it
Where did you put scarab on your computer
i tried to open it in the file, didnt work, extracted it into downloads, didnt work, put it on the home screen, didnt work. just throughout the day, not all one after another
Could you delete everything to do with scarab except the zip file, extract it, drag the extracted folder onto the desktop/Home Screen then see if it works?
Also generally stuff won’t work if you open it without unzipping/extracting it
i reverted to 1.5 and it does the same thing
How long has this been happening
when I installed mods.
Imma give you a link to the modding discord server, you should probably ask there so somebody who has a better clue of what’s happening can help you
ok i did that and it is not working
Have you tried right clicking it and clicking open as administrator
Try reverting to ver 1.4.3.2 of hk and using mod installer 1 or 2
If that doesn’t work it might be a windows 11 thing
i was able to use those yesterday
Hello, I was looking for a little help
I've installed hollow point but every time I disable it my focus gets glitched and it starts giving me health when it has used very little soul, please help
and for every time I disable it, it keeps taking less soul to heal and frankly I feel like this takes away a bit of the challange
Hollow Point permanently edits how soul works on your save file. It's in the ReadMe for it. You shouldn't use it on a "main" file.
If you made a backup of your saves before modding, then you can revert to those backups. Otherwise look in the pins
for information on fixing your file.
I didn't back up my saves 

Someone should make their next HK modding project be opening HP back up, and seeing if they can make the 1.5 port fix this 
LPT: Before modding any game, always make backups of your save files.
Otherwise look in the pins
for information on fixing your file.
fixed my file, hopefully didn't have to kill my saves, thanks
My infinite grimm is broke so I'm just constantly making me fight nightmare king again. Is this normal and if not can I fix it?
done
modding api keeps regenerating globalsettings.json files whenever I open the game and wont let me use my mods
should I uninstall and reinstall the mod installer?
Global Settings are created by mods
when you use them
they are the settings files for those mods
Can you explain what exactly you issue is?
ok
long story short
mod installer said fak u 4 months ago so I couldnt use it
someone told me to uninstall all the globalsettings.json files
I did
the installer keeps spawning then whenever I open the game
my mods wont work
@pliant lantern
(sorry for ping just tryna make sure you saw)
OHHHHH
but that aside, there's newer installers
ty
how do I reset my installer shidd and install the new one
I am-
In that case, look through the pins for that message i posted the pic of
you'll want to delete your current installer, and then follow those steps
Alternatively, you can use ModInstaller2

Mod installer 2 is a bit better than 1 overall, but it doesn't show you any of the manually installed mods. That usually doesn't matter though, and it has a "mods folder" button so you can see what is actually in it
Or if you're lazy and wanna complete your prototype mod in 1.4 first and only then move to 1.5


I'm sorry if I am just misunderstanding, but I am trying to read through the chat history and the pins to get practice for 1.2.2.1, but it seems this is not longer supported from what I can tell? (The links in the guides I am currently following are also all broken now)
Is it possible to at least partially remove the non-compliance of mobs?
HKMP(1.5)
P.s my English is only capable of a small translation
how do I open the modding api application?
I can't find it
I had it opened when I first installed, I closed it, and I cant find it again
tryna use the 1.5 installer but I think I still have ms1 data on my pc
If you're trying to get debug for 1221 or other mods for 1221 speedrunning practice, then join the HKSC server (pinned in #speedrunning ), and look through the resources channel there
I'm not sure what you mean. Unfortunately, that translation didn't seem to work correctly.
The best I can guess, you're asking about synchronizing enemies with HKMP, however, that is not currently part of the mod.
Make sure your game is set to the correct patch. Having MI1 data shouldn't matter, but you can always reset the mod installer memory files if you want to
More likely, you'd need to do these steps:
#archived-modding-help message
Dward can u hel pme?
I cant find how to open the mod menu to install, disable, etc mods
this thing
That is, only the mod loader for the old version syncs enemies?
No versions sync enemies
Wdym you "can't find it"?
Like, you don't know where you downloaded it to?
That's a bad place for it
oh
you usually want it on your desktop
how do I find it and open it again then
the modinstaller?
You literally just said that you put it in your HK folder
I mean, I can't tell you where you put it
lol
most people leave it in their Downloads folder
which is also a terrible place for it
should I rerun the modinstalleR?
Wdym?
If you want to open it, then yes, you should open it
I don't understand your quesiton
You do realize that that's the 1.4.3.2 installer, right?
ye?
So it'll only work if you're version is set to 1.4.3.2
it is
Okay
It says that bc I installed hk on my D drive and not C like all my other gaMES
so
- Make sure that you're launching the installer from Desktop
- then point the installer you your
Hollow Knightfolder. It's the same folder that open when you "browse" local data for the game on steam

OH
I get it
it never installs
it jsut called installer
wait dward
can I give myself money with the debug menu?
It's "Mod Installer" because it's a program that installs mods, yes
So I am trying out custom knight. When I put the skin files in the custom knight file and open hollow knight no skin shows up under the change skin selection except for “default”
I’m not quite sure what I’m doing wrong since there aren’t any videos on how to do it using a mac computer
Post a screenshot of where you put the skins
in the custom knight folder, the other two are skins i downloaded and then put into the folder
So what mods would i need to do a co-op room randomized playthrough?
It does not look like you went to your Custom Knight skin folder.
Okay, so first off, which version of the game are you playing:
Current patch, or 1432?
Im on current patch since i haven't done any modding, but if it's better on 1432 i'll do that
That message wasn't for you?
Notice the @username
Edit: sorry to the person I pinged lol
hi, mantis gods arent working for me. im running current patch with scarab, my other mods are working (custom knight, golden godhome, QoL,). Sisters of battle in godhome is still sisters of battle, not mantis gods. It is the same on both my godseeker save and my steel soul one.
ah shit my bad
This kinda depends on how you want to do it.
Here's a kinda break-down:
No matter what you'll need
- Change to patch 1.4.3.2
- Use Mod Installer or Mod Installer 2 to install Randomizer 3.0 (which should auto-install the other mods you need: Benchwarp, QoL, ModCommon, Serecore, and Vasi).
Then you need to decide if you want Multiworld (You both are playing "separately", but items are shuffled between your two worlds. In this mode, you could find your friend's Mantis Claw, for example), or ItemSync (You both play the same run, and if one of you picks up something, it goes to all people playing).
Pick ONE. you cannot use both.
Multiworld: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/879108972995543060/MultiWorldModBundle.zip
ItemSync: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/888156183595204608/ItemSync.zip
When you're setting up the run, it'll ask for a URL. Use 18.189.16.129 for that. Then you both join the same room name (keep the name lowercase).
Note: Those .zips come with a copy of randomizermod3.0. Don't use that one, it's slightly older. The one on Mod Installer is the most up-to-date right now.
You can also use HKMP if you want to see eachother / interact with eachother while playing.

sweet, thanks!
IIRC it doesn't work in a "GodMaster" file or w/e (The GodHome only one).
I've been told that it works in a regular file in GodHome, but tbh I'm only familiar with it replacing the normal fight itself.
Hey, sorry if i'm interrupting. I've been playing hollow knight for a while now and would like to start looking at mods. Could anyone help me with getting them installed please?
Hello! Kind of sudden but I have no one to help with this, but i'm trying to use the modinstaller and it keeps asking me to update to a stable build-- but the fact is that my game is fully updated and i have no idea how to fix this. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but i guess i could try that again?

It doesn't work in my steel soul save. I'll try to use a normal save then
ah- thank you
I got the mod installer but now by hollow knight won't open. i just get a small error message for a second before it closes again
What operating system are you on?
And where do you have Hollow Knight from?
I'm on windows and i'm playing on steam
probably not
I mean, the links all say what patch each installer is for
if you used the wrong one, then you would have borked your game lol
So, After you download the correct installer, you might have to do some extra steps to fix your game:
#archived-modding-help message
the game loads again thanks
after installing inferno king grimm my healing is boosted and i can't stop it...
what can I do ?
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you're just guessing it's related to Inferno King Grimm, but actually you installed/uninstalled multiple mods
||Namely, that you used and uninstalled Hollow Point||
so ?
So idk why you think IKG is related to your problem lol
Hollow Point permanently edits how soul works on your file
I don't really understand because i'm french sorry...
Assuming you made a backup of your saves before modding, you can just revert that backup
I understand for hollow point but not for the backup
If you didn't make a backup, then there's info on methods to edit your save to fix it in the pins 
#archived-modding-help message
thank you my game was so boring...
my mods are suddenly not working after 2 restarts
i have no idea how this happened
i see benchwarp in mod menu but qol doesnt work
and the top left corner mod list doesnt exist
Close your game, then download and run this script:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/900956017951649822/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
Then when it's done, try the game again
The "Grimm child upgrades" mod says it'll let me customize grimmchild but it doesn't say how, so...
How?
I believe it's all in the globalsettings file for the mod, located in your saves
