how do i mod hollow knight when its downloaded from the Xbox game pass
you can't really
there's a complicated method but it's not realiable from what i understood
I've also never heard anybody come back and say it worked
my hollow point fix doesn't work.
what can I do ?
Which fix did you try?
hollow point fix for windows
There's a method using the mod More Saves. That will be the easiest.
The pinned messages have info on it, probably the same message you found that fix in.
no the program you've said me
this
Are you getting it from scarab?
no I download it from the link in discord
There’s a moresaves link in the pins?
Also you should download it from scarab
It handles placing the files and installing the ModdingApi and dependency mods for you
This message
I literally told you not to use that method
Check the message I just replied to and use the More Saves method described there.
More Saves is a mod on Scarab.
ok
Could someone send a video or a guide on how to set up hollow knight randomizer? :/
Are you on version 1.5 or 1.4.3.2
how do I check I forgot xD
Open the game, look around the lower left corner
If you’re on 1.5 then you need to downpatch to 1.4.3.2 first
Otherwise I think this guide works https://youtu.be/P95_Y62UCII
Did a randomizer mod run on the live stream and I ran into some issues when installing this mod so I figured I could share how to do this.
https://youtu.be/g9I3HwcI_us
This video will show you how to install the Randomizer mod in Hollow knight. That includes both random rooms and random items.
Note that once you download and install the Rando...
?pins The third pinned message has instructions on how to get to the correct patch. The first pinned message has the mod installer.

im on 1.4.3.2 and also ty :D
is it possible to mod cracked hk
No.
Buy the game 
That's not how that works
I have a little problem, i have updated to the latest patch (with mods) and my achievements are not showning. And for some reason, any time i sit on a bench a wall of achievements shows up.
i do have the game
Close everything, log out of steam then log back in. Should fix this. I had the same issue.
Ahaa, aight
Okay delete your pirated version.
Maybe i should even restart my pc too?
Yeah, that wouldn't hurt.
Aight, thanks!
its just there for more save files..
You are clearly lying
Because that's not how hollow knight saves work
They're shared across versions
it didnt work for some reason, (this pic is also one issue)
wait, let me try turning of mods, that might work
the pirated one is 1.4
for some skips and stuff
That still doesn't change what I said
I have 3 versions of HK on my computer, all share the same saves.
wait what
And it also doesn't change that we won't help you unless you can prove you bought the game, and that you cannot mod a pirated version.
That would be good. Also delete you pirated version
okay
From a practical perspective; the installer won't open if you have a cracked version.
wdym
The mod installer detects cracked versions of HK and throws an error
yo how do i get SeanprCore
Elo, need help installing Modinstaller/Scarab on Arch Linux(tried both).
I have installed and unzipped files, than ran files with ./
For both Scarab and Modinstaller the output is that it spawns a gray empty window and doesn't seem to don anything. Only thing I noticed was that It created an empty log file for ModInstaller2. Also already tried installing mono and didn't help
Sadly no
You want Serecore instead.
thanks
That has been discontinued/updated
Where did you get HK?
wym? steam?
Yeah. When you download Scarab are you extracting the folder?
I'm not 100% up with Linux but I can go through the general common problems with you.
I extracted the contents of the linux.zip file, into a folder which resulted in 4 files with one executable
Which doesn't seem to do anything
Where is your folder you extracted?
In Downloads folder
Try moving it elsewhere like your desktop etc.
ok
same result
with scarab it opens a gray window and closes it after about a second
with modinstaller2 the gray(empty) window stays
:/ I'm not up on Linux so I'm not sure if there's a specific reason why this might be happening.
But you will want to delete MI2 entirely, it's not what you want
also no info but operations in terminal
It will be causing problems beyond this
MI2 is for an older patch of the game
There's a message in the pinned messages on how to reset the installer.
yea thats why i tried scarab first
You'll need to likely reset scarab here. I'm looking for the method but the only method I find for scarab uses a .bat. Can you run those on Linux? (Or perhaps read it and figure out what it's doing and do it manually?)
I don't use Linux so I have no idea.
A batch file is a windows thing but maybe, although I can't find the reset thing
oh reset modinstaller
This is the method for Windows. The version for Scarab hasn't been put in the pinned message.
guys
(This looks like it's the same as the method for MI2, though.)
do we have the modding thing for the newest version
?pins
Yes.

First pinned message
Scarab: mod installer for 1.5
Wdym
little page dude
Does your computer say that it’s a virus or something
I don’t think GitHub is supposed to be like that?
Could you screenshot what you’re seeing
bruh
Nvm
am dum like am wasting time
first pinned comment
The first message links to a paste with the names of available mods
But it also links to the installers
So click the link next to scarab, not the link that just shows you what mods are available
uh
Also btw you download mods from the installer, don’t really need to ask people to give them to you
k
@limber egret I Think the batch script resets/deletes files which I havn't isntalled yet
I'm not really sure how else to continue. I've never used nor had much experience with the Linux installer.
np maybe someone else will come by, in the meantime I will continue searching and If I solved it I will post it for other people(if it's relevant) in the future
Thanks!
That would be super helpful
am back
so i am downloading it
what next
wich one do ı use to download
source code or zip
Whatever zip is for your operating system
i think am gonna extract ?
Source code is the code not something you can use
After downloading, extract it then run scarab
Does it just stay there?
Cool
?
it doesnt activate or install
it jsut kinda sits there
i wanna download hollow point
Does room randomizer require me to downpatching
its installed
Yes
All randomizers are not updated yet
No….. that’s kinda part of the deal with it not being updated
okay thanks
whats vasi ?
Scarab is for the new version, old versions need old installers
its downloaded automaticly with api
Dependency mod, hollow point requires it on 1.5
did you read the file called readme
Look in pins
dont see i also cant focus
Intentional….
I really gotta get onto making the readme accessible in game
Look for hollow point @amber cove
i did
it says restart
also it says back up ur save
do i have to backup all or the one that i use with guns
Just the one using guns with
why not just fix the bugs instead of doing that
😤
That was about the focus thing….
To be fair this person was asking why something that was removed as part of the mod wasn't working
It’s intentional not to be able to focus
That's not a bug
which link do i click in pinned? i do not understand english very good
What are you trying to find
download mods
Can you check your hollow knight version
It is a bunch of numbers around the bottom left of the buttons in the title screen
Then you can get « scarab »
Some mod like The Randomiser mod will not work with scarab
Yes
It’s in the pins
The third one will tell you how to change version
But then you should get the « mod installer 2 »
ok thank you
I had the same problem(grey screen), what did you do?

my skins not workin
when i open modinstaller it crashes
anyone know why custom knight won't initialize
is modloader out for 1.5?
Yes. Check the first pin.
Did you download it from the installer? If so which one?
downloaded from scarab
well that sucks
Do you have Satchel also?
If so, what exactly is it saying?
oh yeah that was the problem thanks
Yes
Sorry I fell asleep, I am playing on 1432
is modinstaller.exe out of date? do i have 2 use scarab now?
I have this problem, i have watched your fix tutorial but its doesnt help
I use mod installer 2 and it works fine, you just have to be on the right patch update
can u send me a link or something
Should be in pins
Pretty much yes
?
???
Okay, so open Mod Installer 2, and press the "open mods folder" button.
There should be a CustomKnight folder inside, and you should see the "default" skin in that. That's where your skins need to go.
tbere isnt an update button on steam
Then you must be on the latest version and using scarab?
maybe\
Ah ok, thanks mate
the button "apply" doesn't appear when I try to set my focusMP to 33 with moreSaves
what can I do?
It should. You might need to try using the mouse to move the menu down
only the focus MP settings was in the edit menu
Are you editing it from the titlescreen main menu?
everytime i put a mod in the folder hollow knight doesn't open
ok thanks it works
- what os are you on?
- what patch is your game?
- have you been using an installer? Which one?
- what mod?
i havent played hk in months and i was bored so i wanted to try ultimatum radiance again but modinstaller just like
doesnt open
unless you manulally changed it probably the most recent version
idr exactly what it was
been a while
nvm i fixed it
nvm i got it to work
how does hollow knight multiplayer work?
anyone know why im getting this even though my path is on hollow_Knight_data
for scarab
What mods are required for debug mod in version 1.4.2 bc it does not work in my game
nvm I think i fixed it
where can i find hollow point for 1.5?
Why does Debug mod speedup the knights movement?
There isnt one i know
On Scarab
Do note: hollow point will make permanent edits to your save file
So you may want to make a backup, or only use it on a file you're okay with deleting
You're probably pressing the "increase time scale" button, which is + on numpad by default
How can I change that bc I have dash on +
Go through the Binds panel, and click the white dot for the bind you want to remove, then press Escape
thanks
are there 2 seperate mods or is it the same mod set up differently for a randomizer where when someone picks up an item, everyone gets it, vs you pick up someone else's item
i have item sync 1.3.0
Separate mods
and im guessing item syn is the one where everyone gets an itme when someone picks it up
for some reason customknight isn't working for me, the mod is installed and it shows up in the mod menu on the main menu option screen but when I go ingame it doesn't work
Wdym by "it doesn't work"?
It sounds like it's working
the skins arent showing up when i load a save file and when i set the skin to the skin I want in the main menu settings it doesnt show up in the save file
basically the mod is installed but for some reason doesn't let me switch skins
nor does it show any skins when I press esc ingame
if you open the skin you want to use folder is there another folder or is it pictures
its just pictures
ok
Do you have satchel
yes
What
No, you need to set skins in the save file pause menu
Not in the title screen menu
ik but there isnt any like menu in the pause menu
there arent any skins to choose from
its just empty
Pause > options > mod options
there is an option to change the skins from the main menu so i tried that but it still didnt work
Yes
oh fuck
I didnt see anything
You had to click "okay" to remove the message
So I downloaded the scarab modding browser but I can't see an option for item randomizer there? Is there a way for me to get it?
Aw thats too bad
Why does the modinstaller take forever to open
how long and how good is your pc
If you're on 1432, use Mod Installer 2 instead

oke thx
ok, so I'm trying to do an item + room rando but I don't know which mod to install because there are a lot of options. Which one do I do?
all of em
Randomizer 3. Make sure you also have Vasi, QoL, Serecore and Modcommon (hopefully they install automatically)
@bleak hedge
randomiser 3 will make you install everything you need i think
at lesat thats what happened w me
Randomizer Map S if you want to see the checks on the map
ok, I just have to enable vasi, then
Yeah, it's supposed to, but loads of people have bugs because they don't have Vasi so I thought I'd mention them
Wdym?
Your controls should be the same
ok, ill try again
I got it working! thank you! @twilit crescent @neat osprey
👍
👍
my game keeps crashing even when I launch it with no mods on
What did you do?
No one can help you if you don't explain what you did to get to where you are now.
I downloaded the mod installer and downloaded a few mods but when I tried to launch my game it crashed, even when I disable them it still crashes
k
Did you downpatch already?
yea you need to downpatch to 1.4 so modinstaller 1/2 works
oh
if ur on 1.5 then scarab is needed
idk how to do that where can i see
?pins
can you use customknight with scarab?
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
ye ye
check pins aswell
there's a tutorial
i feel like i did it all right but skin still not showing, i cleared my json with the .bat and am using scarab on 1.5 but the skin isnt there
@stoic trench halp
Wdym it's "not showing"?
you need to do:
pause menu
options
mod
custom knight
choose the skin
ty
also there's two of them, i put the skin in both
i dont know which one i put it in for future reference
You only need to put the skins in the one without a space
For Scarab it's the one with a space
Hm
I literally posted the screenshots for 1.5 CK skins :P
You can see the directories
someone knows why is my hk in uh this language LOL
arts mods
i think i dont have it
i installed it bc i wanted to read the readme but i uninstalled it right after
but ty
and about the "RadianceAI" mod?
hi, can anyone help me with installing skin? can't understand what to do, need some instruction..
actually no, I downloaded custom knight mod but it's not working for me \
you can get one from this messages links
You need to get an installer and the corresponding mod to have skin too
There’s also a bunch of fixes for potential custom knight issue on the pins
Also if you are using mod installer 2 you need to downpatch
yeah what program are you using for customknight
How do I install the Modding API for v1.5?
you use scarab
if i want to do a rando, what modding do i use
also how to you know what you ip adress and port are for mp
For Rando you need to downpatch and use mod installer 1 or 2.
You can find instructions in the pins
idk how to downpatch, will they update the modinstaller at some pointÉ
i have to enter my beta code, idk what that is or how i get it
@limber egret ?
You dont need a code to downpatch to 1.4
it says i do
Riiight here
where do you find the modding download I may be blind
in pinned messages
ok thanks
so i downpatched
and installed rando mod
but this happend
maybe i have both modinstaller 1 and scarab on my computer
do you need modcommon?
Do not open scarab at all at this point
yeah its closed
and vasi
Randomiser Map S is the updated version of Randomapmod, and Rando 3 is updated version of Rando2
do you need serecore?
Yes
thx
wtf
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
steam
Wait, mod work on steam right?
how do you make it enemy rando
You are likely using the wrong installer
With the mod Enemy Randomiser
Yes
sorry to interrupt but uhm, may i ask what happened? xd why is it so big and up to the top of the screen
Ok good
That's a common bug. There's no fix for it really
so, I installed the enemy rando but it won't work when I enter the game, are there any other mods I need to have on?
Did you click "load enemy Randomiser" on the main menu screen?
oh, that might be my issue, I'll try that.
You may want to try restarting your game. Sometimes mods need you to start and then restart the game once to use them the first time

Is this what you meant? 😅
I think I got the enemy rando working, thank you!
I reinstalled and it's still the same bug
- what mods are you trying to use?
- what patch is your game on?
- what mod installer are you trying to use?
- have you read the pins yet?
I'll try to use the 2nd mod installer, if it doesn't work too i'll give up
You missed the first two questions
Also
Like I said
You're using the wrong installer
Reinstalling the wrong installer doesn't help
how do I re-launch the mod installer?
double click on it
So I want to use custom skin but when I try to load it in the game it doesn't change anything and the icons don't load
Wdym by "the icons don't load"?
Also, what patch are you playing on?
So using the custom knight mod it will normally have icons to select when in the menu they won't load
And 1.4.3.2 if that answers your question
- There's not normally "icons", there's just text. Icons were removed from CustomKnight a long time ago.
- Do you have Mod Common installed?
- Post a screenshot of your pause menu
I don't think I have mod common installed
Then yeah, you need to install ModCommon
Okay Thank you
That being said, even if you do, it looks like you probably didn't install the skin correctly
It should have a skinname on the side, but instead it says "Customknight"
which tells me that you probably have an extra folder
This is how 1432 skins should be installed:
Is there a working bench warp mod for version 1.2.2.1 or only 1.4.3.2? Doing any% speed run practice and would like to get around using benches

awesome thanks
i was planning on using my normal save, but i used hollow point on it one time because i was to lazy to get the rest of the charms in my hollow point save and now the focus isnt working, i know what to do (at least i think i do), but i dont know how to do that, how do i make a backup of my save?
Copy the file named user#.dat (# is the save slot number) in your save files path to another location. Also there are fixes for that if it happens to a save file
what was the command to see where the saves where

well yea i know that it worked on some macs but yea thanks lol
What do you guys think is a good mod to use, just so I can download it and see how things go
Preferably a player enhancement one like the gun mod or super long nail
my hollow knights broken
Damn
no like i one tap every boss
thats the problem
it broke the percentage
it was at 110%
and now its at 107%
Uhhh
Bro you might need to get that checked out
Ok, I installed a simple mod that makes charms cost 1 notch
I’m gonna see how that goes
would definitely recommend getting custom knight to work, it's pretty fun!
What’s that?
it's the skin mod, you can change what the knight looks like
Oh neat
Anyway, the mod isn’t working
Although I literally just downloaded it and booted up hollow knight
I’d be more surprised if it did work
where did you download it from
Nexus
which patch are you on?

is there a mod that tell what enemy your missing in the journal

download the first one for your patch
Ok
once that's done, you'll need to extract the folder, then open the file that's just "scarab" from there it's very simple
are you on windows, linux, or mac?
Windows
so download the one taht's called "windows.zip"
Got it
Ok, so I clicked the scarab file
It’s saying there are compressed. Folders
I got extract all, run and cancel
right click the entire folder and press "extract all" from the dropdown menu
Ok
then run scarab
Got it
Uhh
Windows protected my pc
Ok I got it
We good
So, I just check the boxes?
yes, just check the box that says "installed?" beside the mod you want
Wow, that’s awesome
pretty cool!

do i go 1.5
for 1432 you'll want the second one
i tried the 2nd and the api was out of date
yeah, im switching bacak to normal and seeing if that works
ill come back if i have problmes
try opting into the public beta in steam, and try running scarab (the first one)
if you updated to the latest patch and it still doesn't work, right click hk in your library got to properties>local files>verify integrity of game files. then run scarab
does scarab not have room rando?
I'm not sure, since I don't use scarab very often
the 1432 has room rando though
I can walk you through installing that if you want.
does 1432 have muiltiplayer?
yes I believe it does, I haven't tried it though
im wanting to do a room rando with friends
ok lets do that
im changing it to 1.4.3.2 again
ok, so go into your steam library right click it go to properties>betas then opt into 1.4.3.2
done, also downloadiung the mod 2
then make sure to uninstall all the mods you installed from scarab
yes, just uncheck the boxes that say "installed?"
no need to do anything in file explorer
It will say that. As long as you installed it, and clicked "update" one time, it's fine.
oh ok
so i clicked the out of date and it appeard a ticvk then its gone
i assume its done
The only think you need to watch really with MI2 (and Scarab), is the lil' blue bar near the bottom that appears whenever you install mods. You don't want to install a second mod while that bar is still there.
and now it's basically the same as scarab, just install the ones you want and it should work.
is accessing the multiplayer as simple as ticking the box
that will allow me and a friend if hess also ticked it to play room randos together?
I would think so, but it might be more complicated, I haven't tried the multiplayer one yet
Ok well ill give that a try later and if it dosnt ill prob just search on youtube
Thanks for the help 🙂
glad to help!
One more thing, will they have to have steam version to play with me
they have hk through the xbox game pass. Not sure if that allows mods
Only the Steam and Gog version work with mods
mods are only possible on the pc version unfortunately
XBox Game Pass is PC, fwiw
oh, I didn't know that
At any rate, The game is currently 50% off from the Humble Store, and you can get it as a Steam Key there
Ok cool thanks for the tip!
lol first item i got was mantis claw. Already loving this
lucky
was looking like it, even got monomon from kings pass. And then the next room is The Hive
Is there a way to give myself noclip?
With the Debug mod, yeah
It should show up when you started the new file, if you hid it the default hotkey to reveal it again is f1
Curious, is there Hollow Knight randomizer for 1.5?
I didn't see anything for randomizer in Scarab
Neither did I so I don't feel it is.
not yet
randomizer is currently exclusive to 1432
Thank you for the info.
How do I get skins for custom knight?
I can only get default and an extra one which comes with the mod
how do i disable mods temporarily? i assume i dont want to enter a 112% save with randomizer active
I mean
You could
It would be funny
Ok, so I exited hollow knight
And now I can’t get mods to work
what hk version are you
1.5
what's the extra one?
I’m already using scarab
wdym 78?
What does this mean
I’m running version 1.5.78.11833
"an extra one which comes with the mod"
Oh you mean in the mods
Uhh
I can’t check
Because I lost my access to mods
But it’s a default thing that comes with the mod
Just go to the files
Oh ye
What files?
Scarab is not a download thing. I just check a box and it installs the mod
I dunno where it gets put
So read pins
What message
Og ok that’s neat
But I can’t use mods
I shut off hollow knight for a second
And now the mods aren’t popping up
I turned both scarab and hollow knight off for a bit and then back on
Well Scarab isn’t having problems, it’s hollow knight
Ok so what exactly is the problem
I enter hollow knight
Did you make sure all the mods are in the right place
And I’m playing regular ass hollow knight
Can't see why they won't, though
Nothing in the topleft?
hey what mod installer is up to date
Nope

im trying to play randomizer
Actually, this reminds me
Seriously dwarf
Rando is 1432 only right now
Scarab has a very limited library of mods
how do i downgrade my game
You're here all the time but don't come in to help ;-;
You know I don't know 1.5 stuff yet 
cause i have the downloader for 1432
Read pins 
ok
If it were up to me, there would be a @support or @modhelper role that was easily toggled, so that people could ping when someone isn't checking here at the time. 
Screenshot your main menu please
A. That's not a screenshot 
B. Alright, so your modding API isn't enabled rn
Close HK. Open Scarab, and Enable Modding API in the bottom corner
if it says it is, then toggle it off then on again
After that, wait ~10 seconds and then open HK again
Ok, so I now need to find out how to get skins for custom knight
My original plan was to get skins from a description of fireborns video
But none of the things are registering
If you haven't figured it out yet: Check the pins 
The pins have everything

Yeah but they’re also pretty cluttered. I don’t like checking them unless I have to
And yet, it's where you need to look to find things like skins 
Oh, I already fixed that problem
At the moment I’m having trouble actually getting the skin to be in the mod
I downloaded Christmas knight
||pins
||
You tried the CustomKnight Troubleshooting pin?
The “if your skins aren’t working” or the “how to install”
The first
The first what
If your skins aren’t working?
Ok
Well I don’t have a skin folder that I know of
Have you run the game with CK installed at least once?
Then you do have the folder :P
I just searched it on files
If you open the CK menu, there should be a button that opens that folder for you
Don't find folders like that
That's a terrible way to find anything meaningful lol
Then how
Because I’m not gonna sit here for an hour looking through random files
Actually it’s 12:40
I should probably sleep soon
I mean, the pin that I told you to look at does tell you the folder.
But also, like I said, there's the button in the menu.
And there's an "Open Mods folder" button on Scarab, and it's easy to find the CK skins folder from there.
Ok I did that
Christmas knight is in the folder
However it looks a bit different from the other two
Instead of being in a file folder it is in a file folder with a zipper on it
Zipped archive files need to be Extracted to be folders
Got it
so right-click on it, and Extract
can someone walk me through the steps of multiplayer?
In case you still need help:

Is your Hollow Knight up-to-date?
As in 1.5?
Why not?
wot
Just to confirm, where did you get Hollow Knight from?

Pirated versions don't work with mods
The game is 50% off on Humble Bundle right now, which will get you a Steam Key
I mean, this is false.
You may have bought it on Switch, but the one on your computer is pirated.
Don't waste anyone's times with lying please.
You need to have a legitimate version of HK on either Steam or GoG Galaxy to use mods. Like I said, the Humble Bundle store version offers it as a Steam key, and it's 50% off
Uh, yes? I don't really care though, so 
so, once you have a legitimate version, delete the pirated version, and then try running Scarab again.
Again, I don't care, so I probably won't remember after like ten minutes from now

You really need to calm down, man

No.
zote bote?
I've been using a randomizer mod on a save for just shy of ~14h
I needed to open the game in vanilla and accidentally opened the randomizer save
after repatching and reinstalling, I've found that the world is shockingly normal, am I SoL or is there something I can do (like get a copy of the seed?)
Well you can probably get a copy of the seed, as long as you haven't opened any other saves with rando installed, if you go to your save files and check the spoiler log it should have the seed. I'm not really sure if there's anything you can do to fix it outright tho
"as long as you haven't opened any other saves with the rando installed"
like the new world I just started bc I thought it would be irrecoverable?
you're kinda fucked probably
welp, for the sake where's the spoiler log? I didn't manually create one
either time*

hey guys, where do you find the download for randomizer mod? thanks
?pins You will need to down patch and use one of the 1432 installers. Instructions on down patching are in the third pinned message

ok thanks
just as a word of advice, s a v e t h e r a n d o m i z e r s e e d somewhere
if you've already started check the above file paths for Randomizer logs it'll be in one of them
This channel be helpful af and I didnt even need to say shit. Thank yall very much for including this channel.

what difference does 1.5 and 1.4.3.2 have and is it easier to mod with 1.4.3.2 or 1.5
There's very few differences, almost none.
As far as mods, Randomiser currently only works on 1.4, most mods are available on 1.5 now.
okay and how and where from do you download 1.5 mods and where do you put them
I´m new to the modding in hollow knight
Been playing on ps4 and just got pc to play on

okay but where do I download them
From Scarab, which is in the pins
Does it download them itself
Yeye
I believe that is a method but it is way easier to use Scarab- as its literally just click like once or twice and then the mod is good to go usually

how about custom skins
There's a guide for that in pins too! As well as a link that has all of them to download
Boop
Is scarab custom knight not working even with satchel installed or is it just me, if it me please help
There's a pinned message with 4 common problems
ive tried everything and it aint workin still
What part isn’t working
Hi, Been a while but what mod installer do i use? Just the best one to use i mean.
Ex: mods just aren’t in the game, skin isn’t switching
there isnt a loading bar and when i open mods there is nothing there
Do i still use radiance.host's mod installer?
If you’re on ver 1.4.3.2 use mod installer 1 or 2 if you’re on 1.5.x.x use scarab

Idk if that’s updated to 1.5 yet, but installer 1 and 2 have it
Ill check.

All the mods created before the last like 4-5 months or something are still on installer 1 and 2
Not 1.5 yet. Its 1.4.3.2.
Try reinstalling them

Hmmm
weird ik
Try uninstalling hkmp temporarily
Have you tried running it without HKMP? It is failing to load
yeah when i disable or uninstall it there are no mods showing at all#
Are you sure you aren’t accidentally clicking toggle api?
i sure
When that happens try going to your save files path and deleting all files with globalsettings in their names
ok

You install mods on its mods list, it does everything for you
can anyone teach me how to download mods?
which patch are you on?
i want rando
ok, well you're gonna need to be on 1432 for that, so go into steam, right click the game in your library go to properties>betas and then opt into the 1.4.3.2 beta
