[woven wind]

i just tried to use sprite packer n stuff for a wingmould sprite mod thingy and it completely failed

no idea what to do..

[tawny wyvern]

where is the hollow point download?

[merry pier]

Through the mod installer

Look at the pins

[tawny wyvern]

oh

thx

[minor gazelle]

Need help with the mod installer, keep getting that ''AU'' file right after launching it and it just doesn't seem to do anything so far

[carmine summit]

can you use two mod installers on the same computer, separately?
like i deactivate all mods on modinstaller 2 then use scarab instead

[minor gazelle]

Actually i'll just check the pins instead

Not gonna go anywhere at this rate

[merry pier]

Try not to ask the same question at such small intervals, and I think you would need to install of the game to run both installer at the same time, but one of them should be enough

The thing is that those installer work on separate patches of the game, so you can’t use both without changing

[real jacinth]

Yes. But you have to change your game patch and use only the installer for that patch

[carmine summit]

k thanks

[minor gazelle]

Ok i'm lost now, says that I need to update my game at this point whenever I try to launch it

[real jacinth]

3rd pin

Your patch and installer don't match

[minor gazelle]

Ah, now it's working, thank you

[floral marsh]

Thank you (I realise now this wasn't to me but it still worked, so you still get my thanks).

[fluid drum]

I tried installing Debug mod for 1432 and it's giving me this in the mods page? Is this supposed to be empty?

[limber gulch]

I can use the mods if I have the pirate game

[novel bronze]

no you cant

[limber gulch]

That answer is for me or for legopengui

[novel bronze]

you

[limber gulch]

😦

[novel bronze]

the game is 50% off on steam rn though

[limber gulch]

I can pass my progress that I have in the pirate game to the steam game ?

[upper scroll]

probably with the game files

[silk sigil]

anyone know what to do if your game crashes when you load up hollow knight with mods

[limber gulch]

I have that error

[raw trench]

bruh

[narrow minnow]

So

To activate mod installer you just need to have 1.4.3.2

[raw trench]

when I try to build it I get 500 errors

[narrow minnow]

You still need to download everything

What errors

[raw trench]

missing reference errors

526 of them

[narrow minnow]

Do you have the right mod installer

[raw trench]

does it mean anything?

[mossy smelt]

what are you trying to build, and why

[raw trench]

the mod loader

[mossy smelt]

why don't you just download it

[raw trench]

I did?

well i cloned the repo but same thing

[mossy smelt]

no?

[narrow minnow]

You’re suppose to just download it from the app

[raw trench]

what app

[mossy smelt]

you've just downloaded the source code, not the built program

[raw trench]

I don't have a cell phone

[narrow minnow]

Mod installer

On your computer

[mossy smelt]

You on 1.4.3.2 or 1.5.x?

[raw trench]

1.4

I just switched it

should I close hk

[mossy smelt]

yes

So click the mod installer 2 link, and extract the zip

You don't need the source code

[raw trench]

where

[mossy smelt]

pins

[raw trench]

when I cloned the repo I just got the sln files

[mossy smelt]

You don't want to clone the repo

[raw trench]

why though

[mossy smelt]

You don't want the source code

[raw trench]

that's what the instructions said

[mossy smelt]

The instructions are for building it, you don't need to build it, you can just download an already built executable

[raw trench]

I didn't see a download for it

[narrow minnow]

No

[raw trench]

...

[narrow minnow]

You’re on 1.4.3.2

We got you the one made for your version

The better one

[mossy smelt]

Answer me this seriously: Do you think Team Chery is trying to install a virus on your computer by asking you to install a mod installer from the official Discord server?

[raw trench]

But it's not tc

[mossy smelt]

This is the official HK server

Why would team cherry endorse a server that told people to install viruses?

[raw trench]

it doesn't say official anywhere

[mossy smelt]

They're literally in the damn server

[raw trench]

do you have a problem with me only trusting github?

[narrow minnow]

Github gives a lot of viruses

[mossy smelt]

Yes, since it means that you refuse the help we give you with regards to installing mods

[raw trench]

ok tell me the top 500

[raw trench]

bruh

[mossy smelt]

"Help, I want to mod"
"Install this"
"No"

[raw trench]

respect people's opinions

[narrow minnow]

So you don’t want mods?

[raw trench]

I do lol

I am perfectly willing to learn x64

[mossy smelt]

If your opinion is that this server is trying to install viruses on your computer, then why are you here asking for help?

[raw trench]

I'm saying I don't trust anything that isn't github

not that this server is sending viruses

[narrow minnow]

Honestly when I first wanted mods I just looked up hollow knight mods

[mossy smelt]

So why do you not trust this server?

[narrow minnow]

It gave me mod installer 1

[raw trench]

so anyways what language is hk compiled in

[narrow minnow]

If you make you’re own you’re gonna have to download a huge amount of mods

[raw trench]

?

[narrow minnow]

Building is adding a bunch of mods you want

[raw trench]

please just tell me how to add a reference to a solution

[narrow minnow]

An already built one has all of the mods you could want already, plus some

[raw trench]

please

[narrow minnow]

The solution is just to get the link, download it, and run it

[raw trench]

visual studio solution

[narrow minnow]

You want a visual answer?

[raw trench]

bruh

[mossy smelt]

Go somewhere else if you want coding help

[narrow minnow]

I such at coding

[raw trench]

why can't I just download hModLoader from steam

[mossy smelt]

Because putting things on steam costs a huge amount of money and/or time, that mod installer developers aren't going to put in for no return

[raw trench]

wait it costs money to do that?

[mossy smelt]

it did at one point, not sure if it still does

[raw trench]

probably not

since tModLoader devs did

[mossy smelt]

$100 looks like

[raw trench]

what does it look like?

[mossy smelt]

It looks like it costs $100 to put a program on steam.

[raw trench]

huh

but it's still a 1 time thing right

[mossy smelt]

Yes

[raw trench]

so then why don't they just fork over 100$

[west bane]

why dont you fork over $100

[raw trench]

because I'm not the one making the game?

I don't know how to use unity

[narrow minnow]

I can’t tell if this is an argument or helping anymore

[raw trench]

probably both

please how do I add a directive or assembly reference

[narrow minnow]

I’d say everybody calm down, and just lay it out

If you built it then it’ll take hours and you’ll need to find the mods manually

[raw trench]

eh I'm kinda fine with that since I'm not downloading 500 mods I won't use

[mossy smelt]

Benefits for the mod installer devs: Marginally easier for users to install
Annoyances for the mod installer devs: They lose $100, harder to maintain, have to deal with the hassle of putting something up, have to get the endorsement of TC

[narrow minnow]

If you get the mod installer it has all the mods there waiting for you in like 1 minute

[narrow minnow]

It doesn’t download the mods

You choose which to download

[raw trench]

you said if you get a pre-built one it does

[narrow minnow]

It just lists them

Then you choose which to install in your computer

[raw trench]

ohh like a setup wizard/witch

[narrow minnow]

Yeah

[limber egret]

You don't have to download mods if you don't want to. Nobody is forcing you.

[raw trench]

why are setup applications always male

[limber egret]

?

[mossy smelt]

What?

[limber egret]

What

[raw trench]

setup wizard

[narrow minnow]

It sounds cool

[limber egret]

Wizard isn't a gendered word

[raw trench]

it is? wizard/witch

[limber egret]

Anybody can be a wizard

[mossy smelt]

Wizards and witches are two different things

[raw trench]

witches aren't evil

[limber egret]

Witch also isn't gendered. Anybody can be a witch.

[raw trench]

and wizards can be evil

[limber egret]

This is irrelevant

[raw trench]

anyways

[west bane]

[limber egret]

This is a place for asking for help with mods.

[narrow minnow]

I’d go back to the salim witch trials where they convicted some men but this isn’t history class

[raw trench]

how do I add a an a an assembly reference

[spark raven]

Person is either a world class troll or a complete moron, why are yall still engaging with them?

[narrow minnow]

Just get the mod installer

[raw trench]

world class troll sounds like a compliment

[mossy smelt]

I'm not sure which one I want to be true

[raw trench]

therefore I take the second option

I hate being complimented

[west bane]

anyway like tamijo said just keep this channel modding help related

[spark raven]

They asked for help installing mods, they got the answer - use the installer. If they aren't willing to, that's their problem, not ours - there's nothing else to be said other than stop being disruptive, and call a mod if needed

[raw trench]

I am using the mod loader

I can't install the mod loader

[narrow minnow]

You’re building it

[raw trench]

Yes

[narrow minnow]

We want you to download it

[raw trench]

Look at the instructions

hold on

[mossy smelt]

If you want help building a program from source, this ain't the channel for that

[limber egret]

You download the appropriate folder from the releases section of the project on GitHub

I believe the link leads directly to that page, but I could be wrong.

I was not wrong. Click the link.

[narrow minnow]

They don’t trust google so yeah you are gonna have to direct them to GitHub

[limber egret]

Literally read the first bolded sentence

[narrow minnow]

Why do you want to build the api

[raw trench]

yeah and below that with no disclaimers, it says the instructions

[narrow minnow]

Everything is pre built already on the installer

[mossy smelt]

Still haven't explained why you want to build it

[raw trench]

Because I want to use it lol

[limber egret]

It literally tells you not to do this if you're using it for mods or Modding

[west bane]

what is your OS

[limber egret]

It's very clear

[raw trench]

windows

[raw trench]

If people live here where's the bed

if you dont know how to download a release jsut google it if you wanna do github

[raw trench]

also can you please just link me to mi2's github page

[west bane]

already did

[raw trench]

where

[west bane]

check the pins

[raw trench]

that's discord not github

[west bane]

alright

[limber egret]

You can either do the same thing everybody else does or just leave

Those are your options

[mossy smelt]

so if I were to download the zip from discord and put it on github, you'd suddenly go "oh, this seems trustworthy!"?

[raw trench]

or is it a discord redirect

I'm confused

[narrow minnow]

You can literally watch relyas video

[raw trench]

Where does the discord link lead to

[limber egret]

Anything else just sounds like you've pirated the game and are trying to get around it

[mossy smelt]

You're scared about clicking discord links as well, are you

[raw trench]

as long as it was verified by github

[narrow minnow]

This like in verified by the hollow knight community

[mossy smelt]

Once again, do you think team cherry would endorse a mod installer that was actually a virus?

[raw trench]

where does the discord link lead to

No they aren't

[west bane]

i dont want that to go places cyren but yeah 🥴

[raw trench]

I don't see any bright red names

[limber egret]

This person is clearly just spamming now

They're just trolling

[bitter ingot]

Can someone help me install scarab, please

[mossy smelt]

pins, download for your os, extract, run the exe

[bitter ingot]

i did

but the game looks the same

[mossy smelt]

Did you actually install any mods?

[bitter ingot]

not yet

how do you do that?

[mossy smelt]

In scarab, click the checkbox next to "install" for whatever mod you want

The ui could definitely use some work

[bitter ingot]

in-game?

[mossy smelt]

in scarab

[bitter ingot]

the exe?

[mossy smelt]

yes, the program that you open when running the scarab executable

[bitter ingot]

the program is just a blank screen

should i reinstall scarab?

[mossy smelt]

Not sure, never heard of someone with that issue

Can't hurt though

[bitter ingot]

alr

i just reinstalled it

and it's still blank

[silent pasture]

my uh mod loader wont work

[mossy smelt]

Try moving the folder scarab is in to your desktop

[bitter ingot]

ok

[mossy smelt]

What game patch and what installer?

[indigo charm]

Hey everyone, so I currently play hollow knight on Nintendo switch and I've heard so many horror stories about it getting bricked if you try to modify it, would it be a better idea for me to buy the game again on steam or something and then modify?

[mossy smelt]

Yeah, can't mod on switch

[indigo charm]

Great, thank you! ❤️

[mossy smelt]

Can't mod pirated versions

[bitter ingot]

i moved it to my desktop and it's still blank

[silent pasture]

is this the right mod installer

[mossy smelt]

What version is your game? probably not

[mossy smelt]

Does it ask you for a file path when you open scarab?

[bitter ingot]

no

it already said it found a path

[silent pasture]

just downloaded it on pc today so latest?

[mossy smelt]

use scarab

hmm, try this?
#archived-modding-help message

[silent pasture]

k thanks

[mossy smelt]

I'm guessing scarab has a similar thing in the appdata folder, somewhere

assuming this is your problem, someone else in this channel seems have fixed it by turning on a VPN? not sure why that would help, but it helped them

[bitter ingot]

ok i'll try that

wow

that actually worked

weird

anyway, Thank you!

[mossy smelt]

huh, wonder why that works

np!

[silk sigil]

is there a way to get mod installer.exe on mac?

[mossy smelt]

scarab and mod installer 1/2 both work on mac

tho I think mod installer 1 has some issues

so scarab and 2

nope, apparently

[silent pasture]

im trynna use hollow point mod but ion know how to use scrab

[mossy smelt]

hollow point mod is really annoying to get working

[silent pasture]

e

[mossy smelt]

https://github.com/RedFrog6002/Hollow-Point

huh, thought that had some instructions

it's a pain to get working, never tried myself, so I'm not sure where the instructions are

[silent pasture]

alr thanks ima try when i get home

[mossy smelt]

This mod doesnt work on a new save, To fix this you must first create the new save, quit to main menu, and load the save again. This will then make the mod work as intended, this applies to both Regular and Godmaster new saves.

[silk sigil]

how can i fix my mods to where when i load up my game the mods load with it bc there aren't

[raw whale]

hello,
my problem is the hollow knight mod: custom knight is not showing in the mods list=/
how to fix it?

i already tried:
reenabling it
reinstalling it
reinstalling the full mod launcher with it.

[mossy smelt]

You're missing satchel

[raw whale]

i shouldhave i enabled

[mossy smelt]

?

[raw whale]

i added the console now to test if the list is buggy.
but its not

reinstalling satchel now.
if that helps

problem solved

had to reinstall satchel

[mossy smelt]

My guess is that you closed the mod installer before it had a chance to finish downloading it

[raw whale]

before i tried the reinstall stuff, i deleted the mod ordner on myself and tried it then

my problem was that the scarab says its installed because it havent done the "delete" on itself

[quasi turtle]

if I have a save file in current patch and I switch to 1.4.3.2 will that save file be fine?

[shy lodge]

help me make unbig

anyone?

[small rain]

so- quick question. I've seen people talk about having 2 instances of Hollow Knight at the same time, but never knew what they were talking about. Do you literally just make a copy of (1.5 or 1.4.3.2) the steam instance, then make the steam one the other one?

[mossy smelt]

[small rain]

cool thx.

[tropic venture]

when i load into a new file i just created (1.2.2.1 debug mod) my attack key won't work until i enter the keyboard controls menu, then it will update and work. how can i fix this so the key works from the start? all other keys that aren't default (movement, etc) work, it's just the attack key that i need to update

[edgy cloak]

does anyone know where i can get custom knight skins

[magic cliff]

i just started modding like 5 mins ago and now the game wont open

i just get a unity loading bar and then it never opens

[mossy smelt]

you're using a 1.4.3.2 installer, either verify game integrity and use a 1.5 one or downpatch to 1.4.3.2

[mossy smelt]

pins

[magic cliff]

if i downpatch will i lose al my current save data or will that carry through?

[mossy smelt]

won't lose

[magic cliff]

k ill try that out

just through betas in steam right?

[mossy smelt]

yes

[magic cliff]

k, i got the mods working but now i cant change the full screen option, is this normal?

[pliant lantern]

Alt + Enter

[magic cliff]

Is there a way to get borderless windowed?

[pliant lantern]

Possibly with steam launch arguments?
I never looked into it

[celest wraith]

Hello, I'm new to mods so I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times before.
My problem is basically, I downpatched to 1.4.3.2 to use the previous mod installer, but the mods are not loading. The game just loads as normal, no api screen, nothing in the top-left corner, and the mods just don't work

[mossy smelt]

Have you remodded after downpatching?

[celest wraith]

I only installed the mods after downpatching if that's what you mean, I didn't do anything before that

[mossy smelt]

Are you using mod installer 1 or mod installer 2? Try switching

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure what the problem would be

[peak solstice]

I ran mod installer 1 and set the correct location of my install location but it said I needed the most recent stable version to run. I got hollow knight on steam during black Friday and played it. Is this meant to happen?

[mossy smelt]

mod installer 1 is for 1.4.3.2

use scarab in pins

[peak solstice]

Oh ok thanks

[sturdy meadow]

wait nvm

[celest wraith]

can't believe it was that simple ^^', thank you

[sturdy meadow]

i am unclear on how to set up a server for multiplayer

[small rain]

are you using hkmp?

[mossy smelt]

Any reason you don't want to use HKMP?

[small rain]

or old multiplayer

[sturdy meadow]

i have hkmp

[mossy smelt]

MultiplayerServer and MultiplayerClient are no longer recommended

[sturdy meadow]

oh?

[small rain]

you should be able to host with hkmp from inside the game

[sturdy meadow]

i thought they were the same

ig i'll go install hkmp

[mossy smelt]

https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743

I'd recommend this method of server hosting
https://geroyuni.notion.site/Hosting-on-the-internet-c0dd5f2ad95a4bdb93a22e09224db781

[sturdy meadow]

oh so i cant use it with modinstaller1?

[mossy smelt]

No, you can

You just need to manually install an older version of hkmp

[sturdy meadow]

it says use scarab

[mossy smelt]

Ignore it

[small rain]

yeah you need an older version

you can grab it from their github

[mossy smelt]

https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP/releases/tag/v0.7.2

[sturdy meadow]

eh i can use scarab

o

nvm

[small rain]

scarab is 1.5 only

[mossy smelt]

^

[sturdy meadow]

true

so what all do i download from here

[mossy smelt]

the dll

[sturdy meadow]

and the exe?

[mossy smelt]

just put it in the folder that opens when you hit open mods folder in mod installer 1

at least, I think it has that button

[small rain]

nah you don't need the exe

[sturdy meadow]

alright

[small rain]

you can host from within the game if your doing it with a couple friends

[mossy smelt]

the exe is if you want the server to stay up while your game is closed, so people can play as long as your computer is on

[sturdy meadow]

wait what

[mossy smelt]

you don't need it 99% of the time

[sturdy meadow]

it says mod manager

[mossy smelt]

what?

[sturdy meadow]

mod manager

[mossy smelt]

who cares what it's called

[sturdy meadow]

oh

i didnt know if it mattered

[mossy smelt]

"manually install mods" probably opens a folder, no?

[small rain]

nope

[sturdy meadow]

yeah

well

[small rain]

well it just asks you to select dll

then it just copies it over

[sturdy meadow]

ok it said the hkmp was installed

[small rain]

question: are you using this to do rando multiplayer or what?

[sturdy meadow]

when i selected the dll

[sturdy meadow]

hide and seek

[small rain]

but like what other mods do you have installed

[sturdy meadow]

thats what i got

[small rain]

with those mods I recommend playing on 1.5, just because 1.0.0 of HKMP and any future releases are going to be 1.5 only, and have better optimizations

the only mod that I don't recognize is Transtrans

[sturdy meadow]

it just makes the tiktiks trans colors

like the trans flag

[small rain]

oh. I mean you could actually probably do that through custom knight on 1.5 as well then

[sturdy meadow]

eh

i already have it

tho it would be simple to do

[small rain]

fair enough

[sturdy meadow]

so I should go on 1.5?

but modinstaller1 doesnt work on 1.5

im confused

what should I do

can I just stick with this? this should work right?

[mystic swallow]

download scarab

[sturdy meadow]

but is it necessary?

[mystic swallow]

for 1.5 yes

[sturdy meadow]

well

infinite reccomended 1.5

cus of the mods installed

are there any mods specifically that would make it more difficult to do on 1.5?

[mystic swallow]

i dont think so let me check

[sturdy meadow]

just look at the screenshot i sent

what mods would make infinite recommend 1.5

[mystic swallow]

they are all 1.5 compatible you just have to reinstall them

[sturdy meadow]

ok but is it still fine on 1.4??

[mystic swallow]

should be idk anything about multiplayer but I think either would be fine

[sturdy meadow]

hmm

maybe i should ask fires discord

[mystic swallow]

maybe

[lyric anchor]

I need help my uh Modinstaller can't change paths
because it always goes warning that I need the game to be installed but if I did its going to be outdated how can I change the path?
I got a new version of the game

[sturdy meadow]

ah

modinstaller cant run on the latest version

[small rain]

correct

[lyric anchor]

oh lord do I need to downgrade it

[sturdy meadow]

yep

or use scarab

[small rain]

if your using rando or any 1.4 specific mod

[sturdy meadow]

scarab is compatible with 1.5

^^

[lyric anchor]

well am going to install the hornet skin

[small rain]

you can just use customknight on 1.5 for that

[sturdy meadow]

custom knight works on 1.5

just use scarab

[lyric anchor]

alright thanks

[sturdy meadow]

but yeah if u wanna do any other mods not listed in scarab or that are specific to 1.4 u have to downgrade

like infinite said

[small rain]

also on this subject, If your planning on doing hide and seek in the near future, yeah if you stay on 1.4 you should be fine. But I just recommend switching to 1.5 at some point just because if your planning to do more multiplayer, their are more optimizations on hkmp 1.0, which is 1.5 only, and there are more updates for it that will come eventually, all of which will be 1.5 only.

[sturdy meadow]

ok

also i cant find the modding discord

[tawny wyvern]

for langguage support mod...when putting <entry name="LANG_##">Language Name Here</entry> what do i have to edit

[mossy smelt]

haven't used it, but I assume an example would be <entry name="LANG_13">Vietnamese</entry>

Are there no examples for you to look at?

[tawny wyvern]

funny thing I am doing it for Vietnamese

i was looking for examples but couldnt find any

[mossy smelt]

oh, looks like that's actually the language code

so it'd be <entry name="LANG_VI">Vietnamese</entry>

Add a line at the top that says <entry name="LANG_##">Language Name Here</entry>, which ## being the same Language Code from step 5

[tawny wyvern]

ye thats what im looking at

[mossy smelt]

Assuming this is accurate

apparently it is showing this

[wary maple]

does anyone know how to switch to the gun in hollow point? im using a xbox controller

[tawny wyvern]

it should be your focus button

just tapping it

[wary maple]

thanks

[tawny wyvern]

np

does anyone know how to do language support mod

[wary maple]

and now i need help again, sorry ;-;
how do you aim the gun?

[tawny wyvern]

you aim while moving like you use your movements keys/stick while shooting ...since ur not using keyboard it would be up down right left to aim basically

cant specifically aim at an enemy just shoot in direction of enemy you will hit the enemy

[wary maple]

alright

thanks

[tawny wyvern]

just a quick question so with the mod custom knight where do i put the skins i want to use

[dusk wraith]

Is it possible to get mods if you got hk from game pass for pc?

[ionic basin]

why I cant respawn using the debug menu is this a bug causing the game to pause?

[limber egret]

If you're on v1.5 it will be Mod/Custom Knight/Skins/[Folder with the name of the skin]/[Image files]

[limber egret]

No

[limber egret]

What are you pressing?

[upper goblet]

enabling API on the scarab 1.5 gives me this on launch

disabling API allows the game to launch fine

error log

[limber egret]

Where did you get the game?

[ionic basin]

I set a spawn then respawn the game freeze when I respawn

[upper goblet]

steam

ig ill just stick with the 1.4 version for now

[valid kelp]

Thanks for finding that out for me! ^^
I am currently tweaking it myself from some repo.
If you are interested, ping me.
I will probably make a pull request for an extra Branch.
I also already fixed the Nail Arts already.
There might be a more elegant way to fix all this, but currently I decided to leave it as it and manually add additional cases.
(If that will be too slow, I will do it "the easy way" 😉 )
When the branch is ready, I can send you the link.

[limber egret]

Did you upgrade back to the current patch?

[upper goblet]

yea i made sure to update back to 1.5

[ruby stratus]

is there a speedrun mod for the latest version of hollow knight

so I can speedrun there

with all the glitches and skips that you normally can't do on the latest version

[blissful ibex]

Can I mod Hollow Knight that's from the Microsoft store?

[limber egret]

Speedruns are done on a clean install.

What you want is to downpatch to 1.2.2.1

[limber egret]

No

Welp, time to get it on steam. lovely

[fervent tartan]

yes, it has a 1.5 version on scarab

[sharp pawn]

no i mean how does it work?

when i try hosting it says invalid port

I may need help on how to install the mod, can I have some? 😄

I downloaded it now what

That's the thing, I don't know how to update things on steam

how do I install

Do I just copy everything into game folder?

Your file structure is likely incorrect. It needs to be the file structure I listed before exactly, no extra folders etc.

[limber egret]

Are you using it on a brand new save?

[red bear]

yes

[blissful bison]

Hey, i just installed scarab and installed some of the mods but which one is the item rando? if someone could help that would be much appreciated!

[limber egret]

You might do better to head to #speedrunning and join the new server

[limber egret]

You can't use Hollow point on a new save. I'll grab you a link in a second

[red bear]

thank you so much

[mossy smelt]

rando is 1.4.3.2 only

[spring sparrow]

@blissful bison how did you install it I have trouble I downloaded it but I can't find any instructions

oh

[mossy smelt]

pins for downpatching and a 1.4.3.3 installer

[limber egret]

https://github.com/TTacco/Hollow-Point/blob/master/README.md

Head to the section titled "important to read"

[blissful bison]

if you click on scarab.exe it installs and then you can instal the mods

[blissful bison]

okay thanks good to know!

that would explain it 😂

[limber egret]

What have you done so far?

1. Have you downloaded Scarab?
2. Did you make sure to get the correct release for your operating system?
3. Have you extracted the folder?

[limber egret]

Just to clarify, it's 1.4.3.2. I imagine that was a typo on Cyren's part.

[mossy smelt]

yep, am in ap stats rn

have to hide phone, no time to fix typos

[blissful bison]

👍 👍 thanks

[novel bronze]

Yeah you can’t mod pirated versions mate

[earnest latch]

does any one have a 1.2.2.1 installer?

[sharp pawn]

Is there a list of HKMP skin ids?

[mossy smelt]

you create the IDs yourself

[sharp pawn]

wdym?

[mossy smelt]

lets say you call Starry Knight id 3. Everyone who was connected to the server would also have to set Starry Knight as id 3

You do this by making an id file in the skin folder

https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP#Skins

If, say, someone had pink bow set as 3, they'd see whoever had Starry Knight selected as a Pink Bow user

[sharp pawn]

how do i set a id exactly?

[mossy smelt]

After running the game with skins installed, each of these skin directories should have a corresponding id.txt file generated. This ID file contains a single integer representing the ID of that skin. This ID can then be used in-game to select the skin from the client settings menu. Normally, these IDs start at 1 and incrementally increase the more skins you use, but it is possible to manually edit the ID files to use other IDs.

[queen trail]

anyone know if there are artists who sell custom knight skins?

[limber egret]

There is not one. Head to the server in the pinned messages of #speedrunning and you can find the mods and modding API in the resources section.

[earnest latch]

oh yea i fixed it, got the api

[mossy smelt]

1.4.3.2 only

[sharp pawn]

can you dm with more detail?

[mossy smelt]

It's all right there in the readme

[sharp pawn]

ooh

so its not id.txt?

[mossy smelt]

The ID isn't an inherent property of any given skin, it's something that's generated by HKMP and is able to be modified and swapped around

[mossy smelt]

huh?

[sharp pawn]

the id

nvm

figuired it out

thanks

nvm

didnt

[mossy smelt]

[sharp pawn]

where even is the id?

[mossy smelt]

After running the game with skins installed, each of these skin directories should have a corresponding id.txt file generated.

[sharp pawn]

i dont see any id.txt

[mossy smelt]

Where are you looking?

[sharp pawn]

is it in the file of the skin?

[mossy smelt]

Skins can be installed by dropping a folder into the skins directory (<steam>/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/HKMP/Skins).

[sharp pawn]

ik but

it isnt there

[mossy smelt]

Take a ss of where your skins are

showing the file explorer address bar

[mossy smelt]

Skins can be installed by dropping a folder into the skins directory (<steam>/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/HKMP/Skins).

read pls

[sharp pawn]

i can use skins but its not visible to the other players

only to me

[mossy smelt]

Skins can be installed by dropping a folder into the skins directory (<steam>/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/HKMP/Skins).

[sharp pawn]

i will kill myself

thanks for putting up with my stupidity

[mossy smelt]

:P

That's the sort of thing that's easy to overlook

[sharp pawn]

bear with me a little longer @mossy smelt

now ehre is id.txt

[mossy smelt]

put the skins in, then run the game with hkmp installed

[sharp pawn]

it was already installed tho

[mossy smelt]

running the game will create the id.txt files

[sharp pawn]

inside the files of the skin right?

[mossy smelt]

folder structure should be Skins/skin name/(images and id.txt)

[sharp pawn]

found it

ok it works

if it doesn't work, you'll need to verify file integrity

when i do that it doesnt work

the mods dont load

[mossy smelt]

then verify file integrity

[real jacinth]

this means you're using a 1432 installer on a 1.5 game

^

[sturdy meadow]

im following the radiancehost website

this is confusing

[real jacinth]

read the pins

[sturdy meadow]

i did

i am confusion

[real jacinth]

then you'd see that installer is for 1432

your game is not that patch

[mossy smelt]

Confused about what? Everything you need is pinned

[real jacinth]

if your game is not patch 1432, you can't use that installer

[sturdy meadow]

i dont understand installing the api

[real jacinth]

the installer does that

[mossy smelt]

You shouldn't need to do that manually

[sturdy meadow]

heh

what do i do?

did you close scarab and reopen it?

[grave slate]

ye

[real jacinth]

is there a spaghetti symbol?

are you installing mods with the game shut

[grave slate]

no and then yes

the modding api isnt in my mods folder.

[real jacinth]

it's not supposed to be

[grave slate]

or in my hollow knight folder in general

[real jacinth]

there is no file that says "api"

[grave slate]

no

[real jacinth]

it's a regular game file

there never will be anything that says "api" in your files

it's the assembly csharp file

[brazen mountain]

My Save Slots won't stop loading, anyone know how to fix that?

[real jacinth]

there's a pin for that

[grave slate]

welll how do i fix this. how do i get it back to modded

[real jacinth]

.

you run the installer and install mods.

screenshot your scarab

and title screen of the game

[real jacinth]

so you do have a spaghetti symbol

your API is on

[grave slate]

yes

[real jacinth]

the spaghetti symbol means it's installed

[grave slate]

oh sorry i didnt know what the spegetti symbol is. never realized it

but the mods arnt in the corner

[real jacinth]

your modconsole mod is working

it's the big box top right

[grave slate]

ok

so the mods should be working

[real jacinth]

yes

[grave slate]

ok

thanks

[real jacinth]

you can also clear your globalsettings files too which may help, especially since you had 1432 mods

This .bat will clear it automatically (along with other commonly messed up global settings files):

rando isn't on scarab

[scenic gate]

sadge

so i have to downgrade my version?

[real jacinth]

yes

[scenic gate]

man

but thanks

[grave slate]

that wont go away and the mod options in the options isnt there

[real jacinth]

did you uninstall modconsole

[grave slate]

no

[real jacinth]

then why would it go away

[grave slate]

fair enough

but the mod options isnt apearing and other mods arent working

[real jacinth]

did you clear the settings with the bat file like I said

[grave slate]

no

[real jacinth]

so you haven't listened

[grave slate]

sorry

[brazen mountain]

Following the pin worked perfectly thanks

What patch number exactly?

1.5.0.0

?

thats what it says fir scarab

There is no such hollow knight patch as 1.5.0.0

Hollow knight patch

Not scarab

Customknight isn't appearing in my mods menu, but it's installed and enabled, but i can't figure it out

[bronze vine]

question, is there a mod to just remove the Geo loss on death, but no other effects? I can't find one, only the "Easy mode" mod, which I don't really need but I'm not quite good enough to be confident in keeping my geo in the rando I'm doing

[torpid thorn]

Another question, what do I do when upon opening up the ModInstaller.exe it says "This Installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again"? I believe both Hollow Knight and the Mod Installer are up to date

[tame copper]

hello. im currently making a skin with sprite packer. i was wondering if theres one for the shade??

[frigid fern]

nope

shade is always black

if u want u can make ur shade any color

depends on u

[frigid fern]

this one

[limber egret]

There is, yes

You can probably find the atlas file in the pins of one of the art channels.

[tame copper]

is there a labeled one for the shade sprite sheet?? like how it says what animations its doing??

[tame copper]

:O

[limber egret]

Not sure about that specifically, but if you use Go Dump and Sprite Packer then you'll be able to generate one, I'm sure.

[frigid fern]

wait what?

[limber egret]

I've not used either for some time.

[limber egret]

I use a white shade.

[solid musk]

Where do I extract the installer to @frigid fern ?

[limber egret]

Where did you get the game?

[limber egret]

Onto your desktop ideally

[solid musk]

ok

[frigid fern]

make a new folder called scareb and extract it in there

[tame copper]

like generate an arranged files of pngs??

i have an atlas, but i dont have the arranged files of each frames

[limber egret]

Yeah. They are arranged into files based on their function, then given a number to put them in order.

That's Go Dump. You can find it in the pins of... One of these modding channels...

Sprite Packer is what you use to put them back together into an atlas once you've finished your skin

[frigid fern]

i didn;t even know that

[solid musk]

So I click on scarab.exe?

[frigid fern]

yup

thats it

[solid musk]

and where do I keep the custom skin when I download it?

[frigid fern]

there is tutorial by fireb0rn

[solid musk]

oh

ok

[frigid fern]

it explanes all the things very well

wait

@solid musk

first install the custom knight mod

[limber egret]

1. Get Custom Knight from Scarab
2. Download a skin you want (There's a google drive in the pinned messages if you don't have any yet.)
3. Head to your game files and navigate through to managed/mods/custom knight/skins and place the extracted skin folder there. It should end up as skins/[skin name]/image files]. If there is an extra folder it will not work.

[frigid fern]

what skin do u use?

[limber egret]

I use all sorts of different skins

[frigid fern]

i only use the grimm knight lol (true grimm troupe fan)

[solid musk]

Invalid Hollow Knight path!
Select the folder containing hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data.

[limber egret]

Which folder are you actually clicking?

[frigid fern]

have u downloaded the ck mod?

[limber egret]

Also where did you get the game?

[solid musk]

Uhhhh

Pirated, cos Im broke

[limber egret]

Don't speak on their behalf

[solid musk]

steamunlocked

[limber egret]

You cannot mod pirated copies

[frigid fern]

yea

[solid musk]

shit

all for nothing

[tame copper]

[limber egret]

Have you found the github page for it?

[tame copper]

[limber egret]

But do you have the github page?

There's a readme on the github page with instructions

[tame copper]
