sameeee
Get the installer that's for your patch
First pin, or third pin
You're likely on patch 1.5
i'm on the most recent steam version, the first and most recent pin doesn't work
you need to downpatch your game
Slow as in lag or slow as in everything is moving slowly
h o w
I think you need this message
everything is moving really slow
Download scarab or check the third pinned message
oh okay
You may have changed timescale with debug, i believe the hotkeys are + and - but double check in the menu
Then you may have rebound timescale change to something that you press frequently
its not timescale
i know that
I had this issue before
but i dont know whats causing it
Are you certain, did you double check the bindings?
How?
That's what I was asking, you could've said "Yes, I double checked"
debug is the only mod that affects game speed
out of the list you have
screenshot the debug keybinds menu
wait a second
i figured it out
i thought i double checked
decrease timescale was set to d
You're probably on 1.5, download Scarab from the second pinned message
click on the cog next to steam
I need to download scarab?
then select 1.4.3.2 from the dropdown menu
Scarab, or if you're looking for Randomizer, or one of the few other mods that aren't updated to 1.5, do what fox said
this pinned message?
ok I'll see
yes
If you're on Windows
ok
Downloading
It downloads
now what do I do
I its showing
scarab.exe
Enter on this one?
Did you unzip the folder?
Yes
yes
isnt it in the launcher ?
in the mod installer i mean
nop
hmmm
It is scarab
This should all be pretty self explanatory, just click the box next to "Installed?"
wait for the blue bar at the bottom
ok
then it's installed
I installed but It says
ModInstaller error
Did I did something wrong?
or it is normal
You mean it closed and created a file called mod installer error?
yes
What mod did you try to install?
hollow point?
nop
hp bars?
And Scarab isn't in a zipped folder correct?
correct
Try launching the game
The game should be closed while installing mods, scarab can be open while the game is open just don't try to add mods while it's open
ok
I open again
I will try
I think I got everything correctly
wronngg
didint worked
lol
is your game closed?
ok
I will try this
ok ok ok
It says that is enalble
like
enabled?
Now it is correct
yes?
I try anddd
Have you opened your game and had a look?
You don't need to send a bunch of messages
Just try
I am doing this
ok sorry
I just bought the game so I am so flustered
It worked!

Scarab
are there any more drive documents or something for customknight?
Yes, in the pins
i prob didnt explain myself correctly, i meant any more besides those XD
Those are most the public ally available ones, you may be able to find some single ones elsewhere, I believe the skin showcases on YouTube have some
oooh didnt think about that, thank you :)
I need help installing the mod installer
when I open up HK the mods aren't on there
you have to download an installer
I did
hmm... did you try downloading the mod you wanted?
ye I installed and selected the mods but is there anything else I need to do?
I have the mod installed2 btw
idk, here try this 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...
thx
go to the pins and install where is says mod installer atleast thats what I did
k thx
Elaborate please
What game version are you on, and what installer do you have?
when i install the modinstaller this pops up
if i click continue it just shows me the thing but with no mods
ive used the modinstaller before and this has never happened
i dont really know what that path is and how to enable it
how do i install a mod
i open hollow knight and the mod loading bar appears then poof it closes
do you have a controller plugged in
?pins
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
no i use keyboard cuz controller does not get recognized
- Make sure your mod installer isn't in a zipped file
- Make sure your mod installer is on your desktop
- Make sure to run your mod installer as administrator
- If none of that works try Mod Installer 2
Is it plugged in though?
alright i downloaded it but it says couldn't locate hollow knight installaion folder please use button below to select it
Then do that
idk which files to do it in
Do you know where your game files are?
i think
i cant find it
how do you get back to the mod activator
hey again
can you mod if you got HK on Xbox game pass?
Where did you purchase the game from?
Kind of but it's complicated
Mod manager and mod installer are the same thing, just run the app again
where can I find the app?
I dont know where it is
i had gamepass ive been trying to find out if it doesnt work on xbox
but im on pc
Wherever you left it
So not on steam or gog?
no
You can try this, it's a bit complicated, otherwise it won't work unfortunately
whats the default location it goes to?
does anyone know how to get infinite charm notches?
Downloads
There's a mod for that, or you can save edit notch cost/notches to 0/alot
file name?
if yuo can't find it just redownload it
is it in the mod installer?
Whatever installer you got, i.e. Mod installer 1/2/Scarab
Yes, I don't think it's in scarab but it mightb e
thanks :)
alright thanks
can someone help? I wanna download mods but dont even know where to start lol
so I found the HKModInstaller folder in %appdata% but I dont know where to launch it
Wrong thing
?pins
alright
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
Redownload it
will that do anything to my currently installed mods?
If you can't find it you probably deleted it or something, just reinstall it. It doesn't chaneg anything
alright
Is there a separate mod that just changes the items in the game or are both the room and item randomizer fused together as one mod?
i am trying to install the horrible translated hollow knight mod but i dont know how, could i have some help?
i already downloaded it
what is the satchel mod?
hello how can i fix debug mod crashing my game?
By providing context
sorry
it loads up the mod loading bar on start up but then it crashes
my hotkeys for the debug mod is still there doe
You using a controller?
nah
Rando 3 has both those as separate options, or you can use them together
how did you even beat the game with a keyboard
oh
Is it not working?
A mod that makes other mods work
my game was working with controller before i used mods
Many people do, it's still viable
gotcha, thank you
Did you unplug your controller and start your game?
i dont know how to manually install mods
no
Try that
uhhh when you enter the main menu it should be located at the top of the screen. you can select through them
before i downloaded any type of mod my game was working but that was a month ago
Not the main menu, when you start a new save
with controller i mean
yeah thats what i meant sorry
Oh, poorly translated is only on 1.4.3.2
im on 1.4.3.2
ah so that's where it is, perfect thank you both
Then it should be on the mod installer
idk if im forgetting a very important step but when i install the mods and enable them
i enter ingame but the mods dont appear nor work
close the game first
idk usually if you leave your controller in while smth is loading it'll hecc it up
oh ye i already did that
sorry i dont see it
i cant use my controller rn on hollow knight
The problem you're describing is usually fixed by unplugging your controller from your pc and then loading the game and plugging it back in on the main menu
Doesn't matter if you're using it, if it's plugged into your computer, unplug it
im not using controller doe
nevermind.
yeah im blind too dw
What game version are you on?
1.4.3.2 (just basically the version that modinstaller uses)
And the mod names aren't appearing in the top left corner?
yeah
instead of the loading bar id usually get with randomizer
game just loads like normal without the mod names appearing
on the title screen, open the options menu and tell me if there's a mods tab
im not using controller doe
no mod tab
So you've said, several times.
i dont really know why its messing up now. i played a lot of mods like a year ago but i havent touched this in a long while
Try doing this #archived-modding-help message
when i try to use my ps4 controller my hollow knight shows an xbox 360 controller
and so i cannot use my controller
sorry i thought u guys were ignoring me
No, you've just said multiple different things that are making it very unclear if you've actually done what we said
so i should just unplug my controller?
Is it plugged in right now?
no
And the game won't launch still?
maybe a mod is conflicting with debug?
i actually dont know if hollow knight mods conflict with each other but that happens with other game mods
it was working just the other day
huh
and i still have the hotkeys working
yeah the times ive used the debug mod were successful so i dont really know whats causing the crash
Debug hotkeys can't work if you don't have it installed 
it still works doe
want me to send a vid?
I mean, what your modinstaller says is pretty irrelevant, tbh. The installer memory file might be bugged, but I can see that you have debug installed rn
hmmm
it seems i was mistaken
but when i deactivate the rando mods it crashes my game

oh
does anyone know why my gun in hollow point wont work?
If you want, you can post your modlog file.
If f1 isn't working right now.
The other thing you may need to do, is wipe out your Global settings files, which will clear out any bindings that you manually set, but might fix some weird issues.
does the soul thingy look gray?
how
have u switched to gun?
yeah
do u have moresaves on?
You can't use it on a new save. Save and quit to menu, then join the file again.
You're gonna wanna look up the ReadMe file for it (all readmes are pinned in #modding-discussion ), as it has lots of info.
it played the sound and effect
ok thanks

do i just delete all debug globals or every mod global?
Then you can fix it by manually installing the Mac Modding API, mod installer incorrectly installs the Windows modding api, which breaks controllers.

It's the path that your game is installed to
alrthanks
Is there a way to see the description of the mods in the Modinstaller 1?
I want to use some but not all are self explanatory
Mod Installer 1 just uses the ReadMes
You can use Mod Installer 2 to see the descriptions, or check the Collection of ReadMes doc, which also lists descriptions
That doc is most easily found in the #modding-discussion pins
hi, I'm on linux, trying to mod the game with Scarab, enabling the api makes the game not recognize my controller ... halp? 😄
after?
also sorr for the png
Scarab should get the Unix API for you.
If it got the Windows one by mistake though, then that might be the issue.
The unix one can be manually installed from the github:
https://github.com/hk-modding/api/releases
Open it up to the folder with the AssemblyCSharp, then copy all of those files into the Managed folder of your HK installation, which will also have an AssemblyCSharp file
I'm not sure what you mean by "after"?
You asked for the path-- that's how you get the path if you don't know it.
That folder is where you need to tell the installer to go to, although it should default to there.
yeah I read about the win api issue before asking but I was not sure how to fix my problem manually, thank you so much, I'll try 🙂
weird ... that was not it ... controller still does not work 
Unfortunately, I don't know what to do past that. You might have to locally build the ModdingAPI.
I'm pretty sure that's what @brazen pasture had to do to get it to work on Mac correctly, but idk why that would be the case.
If you don't want to build it, then you can probably use a key-remapping program to remap the controller inputs to keyboard ones, as that should still work correctly.
thank you for trying to help 🙂 seems like a weird problem to have 😄
@minor void I’ve seen your problem before. Is your controller connected via Bluetooth or cable?
it's connected with cable
Ehhh, it's a very common issues with any of the Unix OSs. For Dandy, the Mapi on GitHub didn't work, but it instantly worked once they rebuilt it. I'm 99% sure it's an issue with the available release 🥴
I remember Rusty having this issue on windows and starting the game with the cable unplugged and the plugging it in once the was was running fixing it
I mean, it's worth a shot. That's a common fix for HK and Unity games just not recognizing controllers in-general, tbh (and is especially true for 3rd party ones)
I tried the unplugging and plugging in strats 😄
Did it work?
sadly no, it was the first thing I tried

I guess I could build the api myself I just donno how to do it ...
that surely would do the trick
I'm not sure where this should go; does anyone have a sliced Shade sprite atlas? I think GODump is what was used but neither my friend or myself could get it to work.
When using GoDump, you need to have the enemy/object loaded into the area.
I don't have that one off hand, but it shouldn't be difficult to get
Did you read the instructions for Go Dump btw?
Here's a link to GoDump for 1.5:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879133769070706698/889708343793442886/GODump.zip
does scarab work with 1.4.3.2?
No
👍
can you switch from mod installer 1 to 2 without deleting or adding any mods?
Mod Installer 1 and 2 are the same general thing, so yes
The Mod Installers don't like.. do anything really, on their own.
They just move files around.
If mods are installed using Scarab, then when your game in on main menu, you'll have a
icon with the other Content Pack icons
awesome 👍
where can i find debug mod?
in the modinstaller
I’ve recently wanted to play HK mods but for that I need the game on PC, but before buying it I want to verify if the mods work on MacBook. So I came here to ask if there is a modInstaller version for Mac
They do, yes
You will need the game on Steam ideally, but Good Old Games also works
Gamepass and other methods won't work.
Thanks for telling me, now I’ll just have to hope the mods work.
There's no reason they shouldn't!
here is a quick follow up, I did not realize this ... so I'm on linux but use proton to run the game ... downloading the api for windows and placing the files in the /steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/ folder fixed it!
thank you all who tried to help! everything works and controller works too! 
honestly if I would have just gotten the win version of Scarab, that probably would have worked too ... 😅
is it alright if I delete any file not png from customknight file
like theres some zip or txt files sometimes
i have no idea how to mod and i need someone to guide me through it
@ me if u wanna help
Yes, but those files can have extra features in them. Sometimes there'll be alternate versions, for example. Grimm Knight comes with two versions of Descending Dark.

nope there are no randos for 1.5
at all
if u want to do rando runs u can get 1.4
anyone?
It's been 15 minutes.
I'm confused regarding GODump, I've unzipped the whole github download into the Mods folder. I don't see a dll in there at all, like the guide says. I have Modinstaller and I believe the Modding API to be updated because usually it auto-updates whatever mods I have enabled. on starting the game, it never generates GODumpGlobalSettings.json into AppData.
Does your mods folder have a single file called "GODump.dll" or did you get a folder with a bunch of files in it?
????
pleaseeee
I just got the whole folder from github
You've downloaded the source code
Delete that, head back to the github and go to the releases tab
why
Please stop spamming your issue. If somebody can help, they will.
Doing this makes people not want to help you.
thanks for your help! is this what I should be downloading?
Looks like you've downpatched to v1.4.3.2?
I believe this is for patch 1.5, so you'll probably want the one below this?
okay, I'll try that. I did find the dll so progress!
ok sorry
It's wooorkiiiing 
tysm Tami 
one final question, do I delete the strings in both lists? I just want the shade animations
Huh my version only has the list once
Should just be the bottom ones
The top looks like it defines the list, the bottom is the actual list you want.
okay thank you!
it's still slicing the entire list so maybe both need trimmed. I can just delete the others, no biggie. thank you again for the help, I was totally lost lol
You can try deleting the global settings file for the mod. To my knowledge, it does normally just put multiple bars in though, so I'm not sure why you wouldn't be getting them.
The global settings file is in your saves folder
how do i get the maps with all item locations from elderbug

Extract the compressed folder, then run it
Why do so many people keep running programs out of .zip files?

It's because it probably has a bad memory file now.
You can use this to reset that file:

it'll say stuff failed. That's fine
There's also a chance that you'll need to redownload Scarab, and the extract from the new copy.
I seem to remember a previous person who did that had it where Scarab wrote files in the .zip because of it, and that donked it up.

whats the difference with downpatching your game
The differences between 1432 and 1.5 are mostly qol and minor bug fixes
if i have a save file in 1.5 and i get 1432 would it be there still
Yes
yes
kk
If you’re worried about losing them you can always make a copy of your save files

Greetings everyone
How can i install and launch a Modinstaller for hollow knight on Manjaro?
this modinstaller work in a windows 7?
unlikely
use the linux ones
is there any mod that like points out on the map what you still havent collected and faught yet?
I mean what steps that i should do?
download it, move to desktop, unzip, run it
when i installed the mod, i loaded into my save and i cant get off the bench
what is "the mod"
uh ok
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
my controls werent set
new problem
the mod isnt working
i click the one and no work
?
any help
^
i cant seem to get my benchwarp to open up anymore
Well it's not installed
it just... deleted itself?
I clicked installed twice in scarab to reinstall it and its no longer there still
did you close your game
yes.
is the enabled box checked
is there anything in the benchwarp folder
do you have two game copies
No.
you sure? you didn't install your game again recently?
I am sure.
is benchwarp turned off in the in-game options
How do I find that.
options->mods
Interesting. It was off.
good day good ppl... I did installed custom knight and i think i got the skin in the right folder but cant see the change skin option on screen... can anyone help?
Options -> mods
ooohh let me check that thanks
For some reason it says you dont currently have access to this folder
Is this a continuation of a problem you've already been talking about or?
Fwiw nobody has come back and said that works yet
Sorry what a need to do if Hollow Knight not start
I don't know game not start with ModInstailer2
but i cant access the windows app folder
You're likely using the wrong installer
If you're wanting to use Randomiser 3, you'll need to downpatch. If you don't want to use Rando, you want to use scarab. Both of these are in the pinned messages.
Sorry for the question but what is a scarab
anyone have a fix for this?
buy it on steam/gog
@woeful galleon
am on 1.4.3.2 and using mod installer and it just says that it cant find the game why?
Help!! I was trying to install some mods in Modinstaller and when I opne the game this happens and also in the saves they don t
HELP!!
Head to your saves folder and delete anything that ends in ".globalsettings.json"
Does it ask you to locate it at all?
no
Have you opened your game to confirm you're on the correct patch?
Reset your installer. When you open it again it should ask you if it is in the default place. Click No.
If you're using scarab then it will download any library mods for you
oh ok
just reinstalled and its saying the same thing
Check the pinned messages for how to reset it. Reinstalling it won't help.
ah ok
You are the best thank you ❤️
dam
thanks a lot I got it to work
Not really the place to ask but the mod « QoL » will let you
Sorry how i need use scarab
extract and run it
it's don't run
Did you extract it?
From archive? Yes
Then what did you do? What exactly did you click?
hi
I want to put skin on my game
can someone help me on these
( I dont speak english to good so I will write somethings wrong)
I click twice on exe file
Move the folder to your desktop, then right click scarab and select "run as administrator"
????
- Download Scarab from the pinned messages
- Extract that file to your desktop
- Open the Scarab file inside that folder
- Get custom Knight from the list in scarab
- Check the pinned messages for the list of skins
Sorry what to ask only now but all files need to extract
Yes you should have a folder which all needs to be extracted as a folder to your desktop
Oh sh... Sorry
number 4 where is it?
?
Did you do the rest
yes
So you've opened scarab
yes
Yes i am on it
but I didint finsd
find
I found now
lol
downloading
then I go to the pinned messages to get skins?
Yes
thanks
Only one more question
when I open hollow knight I will choose the skins in the game
??
You will, yes.
After you download the skin you'll need to extract it, and place it in your custom Knight folder
Click the mods button in the bottom left of scarab to get to that folder
where do i download mod installer
let me see
ok
oh sorry
I came back
I was eating
Let me help you
umm 1.5 is the scarab mod instaler
go to the pinned messages and download the scarab 1.5
contact again when you do this
srr
Hey guys, so I opened HK today to play a cursed item randomizer I had started yesterday but all my mods stopped working. I tried deleting them all entirely and reinstalling them but they still aren't working, any idea what's going on or how I can fix this (still on patch 1.4.3.2)
Hey, so I've recently just wanted to do mods and I'm having troubles with the downloader. It keeps saying I have to update my game to the most recently patch update but I don't know how to check that-
so is there anyway to get skin mods on hollow knight xbox gamepass version
What is your game's version number? It should be at the bottom left corner of the main menu
1.5.78.11833
Are you planning on playing Randomizer?
No not really only skins
same.
Okay. You need Scarab for your game version instead of ModInstaller. Download link is in the first pin
Ah alright- I was looking at a tutorial from 2 years ago so thats probably why lol-
I do not believe that the Gamepass version can be modded, but someone else may know for sure
Wait so for a windows computer wouldnt I do windows?
Are any mods listed in the top left corner of the main menu?
No none of them are there, it’s all vanilla for some reason
Yeah, get the version of Scarab matching your OS
help a mod installer crash the hollow knight :(
Does anyone know why that happened to me?
In the ModInstaller, does one of the buttons at the bottom say "Enable Modding Api"?
Thank you so much! i got it to work :)
Did you get an error message?
can i ask if radiance mod installer is supposed to be updated soon? or should i opt to use another installer
I get the game icon but with an error
What mod installer did you use and do you know your game version?
Use one from here because they are safe but it is not the same as always
Right, but there are different ones for different versions. What's the name of the one you used?
No, I have revert to unmodded, manually install mods, and change default installation path
it's called mod installer2
Just say that
And the error is called: hollow knight unity error (date)
Okay, so it's still enabled. My guess would be that you are missing a dependency for one of the mods. What all do you have installed?
Are you trying to play Randomizer?
Yes
Then you'll need to make sure your game is downpatched to 1.4. Instructions on how to do so are in the third pinned message
And as a version change
There’s quite a few: AdditionalMaps, BenchWarp, Black moth, Bonfire, Charm Notchs, Charm Overhaul, Death Counter, Debug Mod, Enemy HP, Exhalation, Fragile Strength for nail arts, Mod Common, More Saves, QOL, Randomizer 3, Randomizer Map S, Sere Core, SFcore, Unofficial HK patch, Vasi.
That is a lot. You should probably uninstall Unofficial HK Patch. I am pretty sure it no longer does anything
Outside of that, I'd have to see your ModLog as I am unfamiliar with many of those
thnk you

thank you bro
The ones I don’t care about much would be: bonfire mod, charm overhaul, exaltation, and UHKP (which I already uninstalled since it doesn’t do much and if you think it doesn’t do anything anymore I’m fine dumping it).
If that makes things easier.
where do I find my Modlog? Also does the modding api have a .dll folder? Because I don’t see one amongst my mods.

I believe the modding API replaces or edits one of the normal dlls, so I do not think it has its own folder.
its not opening
thats some pretty spicy water
Okay here is the latest modlog.txt then
thx
I'm not going to be able to help with that one unfortunately. I have no experience with this on Mac. But someone else will be able to help you out at some point
ok thanks anyways
not sure why redwing is making it's way in there as I uninstalled that mod yesterday.
which installer are you using
Hmm... check to see if it is still in your mods folder?
i have a question, so scrab works in version 1.5 and higher ? like 1.5.something.something? or only 1.5?
and is there a way to downgrade it to 1.5? thank you very much
anything 1.5
oh i almost forgot, does scrab have the same or more mods than mod installer?
prob less
so its better for me to mod installer 2 yeah?
It at least has no Randomizer, of the Item or Enemy variety, yet
no i don't care 'bout them, all i want is the custom charms and stuff
so i feel like am playing a new game
cause they will take another 2 years to make silksong
idk what mod has custom charms right now
a question, why scrab? is there something special about it? or just an upgrade to modinstaller?
i saw it on utube
do you know the name of it though
like the gun charm i guess
Nope not there, perhaps that mod log is too old since it’s from before I asked for help. Just reopened the game and this modlog looks different. Give me a sec and I’ll pop it in here for you.
i have limited internet, so i have to choose between 1.5 and 1.4.3.2. am lost :l
here it is
thats hollow point
what would u advise me to use modinstaller 2? or scarab?

i formated my pc, so none i guess
I keep getting this message whenever I try to install Custom Knight, can anyone help me?
Is it even a problem?
It looks like it is trying to load something for your save from Redwing which is failing because it is not installed (I don't know much about Redwing so I am unsure why unfortunately), and Bonfire is also failing to load
Try just disabling Bonfire for the moment and see if that does it?
make sure installer is on desktop and run it as admin
if that doesn't work, go to C:\tmp and delete everything
ty
bois lads lads bois, help here, is it better for me to install the modinstaller 2 1.4.3.2 version or the 1.5 scarab version? i have limisted internet connection. which one is better?
neither
mmmmmm

what would u choose then :l
depends on what you want
put scarab on desktop
different experience
