i did i cant open it because that happens when i try

[real jacinth]

your screenshot says it's not

so...

do you have more than 1?

did you download it multiple times?

[fading ice]

i did

dont speak for me boy

[twin mango]

sorry spicy man

[real jacinth]

delete all the things you downloaded, download another zip. move the zip to desktop. double click it to extract it, then double click the app

and let me know if it still crashes after that

[fading ice]

ok

[little timber]

Okay I tried that, didn’t work. I’ll give what mickely suggested a try and then see what happens.

[fading ice]

it didnt work

[real jacinth]

🔹 Right-Click the Scarab icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file.

[solemn otter]

hi, im trying to use customknight. i have it installed on scarab and ingame it shows that it's there at the top left. when i try to go to the mods option it isn't there

also, when i go out of the mods option, the game just locks itself, though i can move the cursor. it looks like the option menu but without anything there

[little timber]

Thank you, that fixed it! misread the title and thought it was for no mod list in files, now I know for next time.

[real jacinth]

.

[grave girder]

I shall keep that fix in mind for the future. Glad that you got it all worked out!

[little timber]

Nice to know you could learn a little to help the next person, thank you for trying to help me out!

[solemn otter]

sorry, but where is customknight.globalsettings.json?

nevermind, sorry

[little timber]

Okay it's mostly working. but now QoL isn't working and in the top left of the screen it says "FAILED TO LOAD check modlog.txt", here is the modlog but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to fix the error.

[solemn otter]

ok it works thanks

[real jacinth]

you need vasi

QoL requires it

[little timber]

Hmm I have the Vasi.dll file, should delete it and try reinstalling it?

[little timber]

Okay enemy hp bars also wasn’t working so I deleted everything related specifically to these two mods (except the images for enemy hp) including the global settings stuff and redownloaded them and now both are working as intended so the same thing to fix all mods not working seems to correct specific mods not working as well.

[vital maple]

Ayo, I am wondering if I can have some help with the custom knight mod?

[storm rivet]

I just followed the instructions in the pinned messages in this channel and it seems to work. It should allow you to change skins in the in-game "mod options".

#archived-modding-help message

[strong umbra]

Help. I downpatched to 1.4.3.2 but when I try to launch the game it says OS Error 4294956486

[shell moon]

hey me and a friend installed glass soul mod but now we can't open our game. any suggestions?

[pliant lantern]

You probably installed a mod for the wrong version of the game.

• What patch are you one?
• What Mod Installer did you use?
• Where did you get Glass Soul from?

[pliant lantern]

What OS are you on?

[shell moon]

-I'm pretty sure i'm on latest patch of hk since i'm on steam and never downpatched -I couldn't find glass soul on modinstaller2 so i got it off a webite called moddb the mod version is v1.2.2.1.

[pliant lantern]

If you ran ModInstaller 2, while being on current patch, then you would have donked up your game.

Mods all require a modding API to be installed, and you have to have an API that

• matches your game version, and
• the mods have to be for the correct API.

It also sounds like you probably found a 1221 version of that mod, which won't work with current patch. It might work on 1432, but definitely not current patch.

Please read the pins on getting started with modding, and then from there you can find mods that work.

Additionally, I wouldn't trust mods from "generic modding websites" like ModDB, particularly for HK mods, because none of the mod devs upload their stuff to those sites, which means you're more likely to find malware that's pretending to be a mod.

[shell moon]

oh wow.

how do i uninstall that thing?

[pliant lantern]

To un-donk your game:

[shell moon]

thanks!

[novel bronze]

which mod installer should I use?

[pliant lantern]

That depends on what mods you want

[novel bronze]

to be honest I just want a different look for the knight

[pliant lantern]

Then probably you want Scarab

[novel bronze]

I've seen modinstaller used the most

what about it?

[pliant lantern]

Check the pins, and then decide from there

[novel bronze]

ah so considering that I have version 1.5 of the game, modinstaller isn't an option in my case, yes?

[strong umbra]

Monterey

[pliant lantern]

Like I said

depends on what mods you want

ModInstaller / ModInstaller2 require being on patch 1432.
There's no reason to downpatch for that unless you want a mod that is not yet ported to current patch. If for some reaosn you have name-attachement though, then you do whatever you wanna do lol

[pliant lantern]

Check the 3rd pin for the post on how to fix changing patches on MacOS

[amber oasis]

Is there a mod to change the hall of gods NKG arena to the dirthmouth arena?

[pliant lantern]

Not to my knowledge. Infinite Grimm (I think only on 1432?) only works at the Dirtmouth one though AFAIK.

[amber oasis]

Yeah guessed that was the case. The original arena for NKG is so much better

[pliant lantern]

You could always use a Debug Save State to just replay the fight there?

[amber oasis]

Yeah I'm starting a new run with a bunch of visual and qol mods anyway. Will reserve a save just to fight NKG

[strong umbra]

thanks man you're a life saver

[novel bronze]

how do I install the CustomKnight mod?

[amber oasis]

Its in the mod installer. You have to download the skin you want seperately

[shell moon]

can scarab work if my hollowknight is on gog.games? it can't find the hk directory even if i choose it manually

[pliant lantern]

As long as you have a legitimate copy, then yes.
You can right-click the game in Galaxy to view the install location

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/910762350267744276/910763857146961960/hk_GOG_browse_local_files.png

[novel bronze]

where do I put the scarab files

in the game's directory?

[pliant lantern]

The Scarab folder itself is recommended to be on desktop

[novel bronze]

why

what does this even mean

"Please"

[pliant lantern]

You can put it in a different folder, but it shouldn't be

• a folder with special permissions (like the default Downloads folder, or the default program files folder)
• part of the hollow knight installation

[novel bronze]

well I put it in the hollow knight install directory and it works fine

and the Downloads folder doesn't have any special permissions by default

unless you have the Windows core protection shit on

yeah

I just had to select my install dir

[pliant lantern]

It definitely does lol

[mossy smelt]

Like what? Not doubting you, I've just never had any issues with it

[novel bronze]

same permissions as a newly created folder

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pliant lantern]

Windows itself monitors activity from the downloads folder specifically, and will isolate files that aren't verified on occasion.
It'll do this even if you've disabled the Windows 10 core protection (which iirc, you'd need to do in order to download any non-Windows app programs)

[sterile basin]

sorry to interupt
I'm using the Menderbug's revenge mod but the ui is all screwy and my geo isn't rendering properly. Also when I die from breaking an object my shade appears to be behind my characters sprite just looping through an animation.
I think I'm missing a mod that Menderbug's revenge is dependant on. I checked the readme file on it's github page but I can't find anything. Can I have some help.

[novel bronze]

I had the wrong feature name, I apologise.

it's called Controlled Folder Protection

and only if it's enabled will the Downloads folder have any special permissions

Windows does not specifically monitor the Downloads folder

[pliant lantern]

By default, there is a settings that does. That could be the name- I honestly don't really care lol

What I care about, is not having users run into issues because they install something somewhere, and a default settings prevents it from working.

Edit: and tbh, if you already know where you're able to install things safely without breaking something, then odds are that the advice isn't for you.

[pliant lantern]

It requires Vasi

[sterile basin]

thanks 🙂

[cinder cliff]

Hello, sorry i have a problem. I'm using Scarab.exe with the latest version of hollow. I pressed "disable API" to try things and now it won't open 💀💀💀 any idea how to revert it back?

[pliant lantern]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/462200562620825600/916225478854057994/hk_verify_integrity.png

[limber egret]

What is "it"?

[cinder cliff]

the effect of pressing "disable API", sorry i'm from Italy 🙌🏻

[limber egret]

What won't open

[cinder cliff]

Scarab.exe

[cinder cliff]

i'm gonna try this solution

[pliant lantern]

Did you extract Scarab from the .zip?

[cinder cliff]

yes

[pliant lantern]

Alright. Because Scarab itself should continue to open with no issues.

[cinder cliff]

i verify it, but nope. still won't open

[pliant lantern]

If Scarab doesn't open, you may need to reset it's memory file.

This script will automatically do that:

(Don't worry if it says it "fails" to do stuff)

[cinder cliff]

nice

it did the trick

But that's a very weird behaviour

[ionic basin]

how do you turn the customknight to pictures instead of texts when you're choosing one in game?

[limber egret]

You cannot

That was an old feature that was removed

[novel bronze]

i've downloded the mod manager

but now my game keeps crashing

not very poggers

even after disabiling all the mods

it still doesnt work

[thick goblet]

how do i change my skin in hollow knight using the custom knight mod

im on mac btw

[covert quiver]

Hollow Knight don't start

[limber egret]

Pause, options....

[limber egret]

What have you downloaded, what patch are you on, where did you get Hollow Knight, what OS are you on

[covert quiver]

I have ModConsole and CustomKnight Hollow Knight official i have Windows

[limber egret]

Which installer are you using

When you say it didn't start what exactly happens?

Also where did you get Hollow Knight

Since you didn't actually answer

[covert quiver]

Instailer1 Scarab when i start star menu with ikon of hollow knight and alarm after this game close

[limber egret]

Installer 1 Scarab isn't a thing???

That's two different things

It sounds like you've downloaded mod installer 1 as well as scarab.

Delete mod installer 1, open scarab.

[covert quiver]

ok, but why yesterday all work whis this

[limber egret]

You probably opened scarab after MI1 yesterday, and then today you've MI1, which overwrites your Assembly file with one that doesn't work

So coincidence, basically

Delete MI1, open scarab. You might have to click "Enable API" in the bottom left corner

[covert quiver]

It must be Disable API yes?

[limber egret]

No

Don't click disable API

If it says that then try running your game again

If not you'll need to reset scarab

[limber egret]

With this

[thick goblet]

now the randomiser mod has broken and wont work then when i start a new save i get softlocked

its not the randomiser mod thats softlocking me actualy

nvm fixed it

its was a mod not working

[thick goblet]

the mod is turned on

[limber egret]

Screenshot your pause menu in game

[thick goblet]

ok

when i click change skin nothing happens

[limber egret]

Looks like you've not put your skin in the correct folder.

[thick goblet]

idk where you find the skin folder

[limber egret]

Are you using mod installer 1 or 2?

Oh wait you're on Mac so it must be 2

[thick goblet]

yes

[limber egret]

On the bottom left of mod installer 2 there should be a button that says "open mods folder" or something?

[thick goblet]

oh ye thank you

[limber egret]

You'll see a folder called custom Knight, put your skin in there.

The skin must be extracted, and it must be:
mods/custom Knight/[skin name]/[image files]

[thick goblet]

yep i found it

where can i find skins to put into it

[limber egret]

?pins Downpatch to 1.4 (third pinned message), then download mod installer 2, extract it to your desktop.

Open your game and start a new save file, then close hollow knight again.

Open your installer and grab Hollow Point, then start your game and open the save file you just made.

[limber egret]

There's a pinned message with a Google drive that has skins in it.

[thick goblet]

ok thanks

[limber egret]

Everything I just said to do will be safe.

Don't use one of your existing saves with hollow point on, though

It can cause some issues with your soul meter and stuff. They can be fixed, but it can be a bit complicated.

Wait, actually

There's an easier way sorry!

You don't need to down patch. I forgot hollow point had been updated. If you've not already started the process this way is better

You can just get scarab instead of doing the first step

So just get scarab and don't down patch, don't get mod installer 2.

The rest is the same

[thick goblet]

iv got more mod problems yay

randomiser 3 itsnt working

f

and the skins are still not working

[real jacinth]

Means you used an installer that doesn't match your game patch

Hey why skin in CustomKnight not rejected

[dusk basin]

for randomizers should I use modinstaller 1 or 2 for the 1.4.3.2. versions? (i am on windows)

doesn't matter

[clever forge]

I'm trying to manually install mods, but when I start up Hollow Knight it says "Failed to call constructor! Check Modlog.txt" next to the mod in the top left corner of the screen, someone help pls

[real jacinth]

what mods. and why manually

[clever forge]

Fireb0rn's manhunt mods, because they aren't in the Mod-installer

[real jacinth]

doesn't he just use hkmp

[novel bronze]

what are some of the best reccomended mods? Just installed the mod manager thingy today

[clever forge]

Yes, but he also has mods to remove enemies, broadcast map positions and stuff

Putting them in the hkmp mod folder yields the same results

[real jacinth]

are you on the right patch for them? do you have all the dependencies?

[clever forge]

I'm definitely on the right patch and I'm pretty sure I have all the dependencies

Okay I don't have all the dependencies, don't know what I'm missing or where to get them though, so I'll give up for now

Thanks for the help in figuring out the problem though :)

[real jacinth]

[gritty patio]

Why are all the randomizers in modinstaller outdated

[limber egret]

They're not

Rando 3 is the most up to date version of the Randomiser

[gritty patio]

well it doesnt work for me

[limber egret]

That's a shame

If only there was a channel where you could describe your problem

Instead of accusing the people who spend literally days making mods of not keeping them up to date

modding development?

[quartz sable]

I've been using scarab mod installer to play with a custom knight skin on the last patch. Today i tried downgrading my game to try a randomizer mod (i installed the mod installer from the 1st link , windows only), i installed randomizer 3 and custom knight but when i launched the game, i started in vanilla. I tried uninstalling the API by checking game files on steam to install it correctly but it doesn't seems to work. Can someone please help me ? (sorry for bad english btw)

[dusty otter]

hello after modding I only get this

if i try to open hollow knight, it closes after a few seconds

[real jacinth]

the installer you used doesn't match the patch you're on

use scarab, or downpatch your game

[dusty otter]

thanks

[thick goblet]

there is just problems with a couple of the mods like randomiser mod give an error

[limber egret]

Okay do the thing I said

[thick goblet]

ok

just the main menu of hollow knight

[limber egret]

Yep

[limber egret]

You need QoL, Mod Common, and Vasi.

Make sure you have all of those

[thick goblet]

QoL softlocked my game

[limber egret]

Do you have Vasi?

[thick goblet]

i didnt no

[limber egret]

That's why QoL soft locks you.

Grab those three and you should be good to go again

[thick goblet]

ok iv enabled them

[limber egret]

Obviously you need a new save file for Rando, too

[thick goblet]

yep ik

[novel bronze]

eh...Have mod fps booster for hollow knight?

[real jacinth]

no

you can boost your fps by turning off vsync, turning off fullscreen, and lowering resolution to make the game window smaller

[vernal rain]

like this

nailed it

how big is that? like 100x100? lol

120xsomething

that one is actually not made smaller lol

[runic dove]

Hi everyone! I'm having trouble with downpatching and am not sure if it's just "the less advanced framework has fewer features" or "I've done something wrong"--I've got the 1.4.3.2 modding api and mod installer, the game launches, all the mods show up in the load list at the top left corner of the screen and work just fine in-game (ie, the debug F1 menu and benchwarp menus show up and do what they're supposed to), and there are on/off toggles in the in-game mods menu for all of them. However, there aren't any further customization options for any mods that have such in 1.5.x. For example, I can toggle QoL and Custom Knight on and off, but can't switch skins in Custom Knight or turn cutscenes back on in QOL. Also, accessing the mods menu from inside a save calls it up, but it's still just the on-off toggles and the text is off-center and much too large, so I'm almost certain it's a bug and not just a natural consequence of downgrading.

Steps I've taken so far:

• Downpatch and verify integrity per this post: #archived-modding-help message

• Uninstall the game entirely, reset beta to 1.4.3.2, and download it fresh

• Searched this discord for a few variations of "mod menus not showing up" (but didn't find anything that quite matched my problem)

• disabled MoreSaves (the pinned post said it conflicted with some UI mods?)

• used both versions of the mod installer

• tried the 1.5+ versions of the mods just in case (unsurprisingly they all either had the same issue, didn't show up at all, or crashed the game)

• tried installing the 1.4.3 api by hand

Is there somewhere else I could change the mod settings? Is the 1.4 version ONLY compatible with 32-bit, and since I'm 64-bit I'm just out of luck? Or should there be further menus that aren't showing up for whatever reason, and I've somehow missed or broken something?

(Sorry, that was a lot of text! I just wanted to make sure I covered my bases, ahaha)

[true dew]

Just to rule something out.I have 64 bit and my mod works.IM sorry i cant help more.

[real jacinth]

i can't follow what you're trying to say

you can't use 1.5 versions of mods on 1432

if that's what you're asking

you need to get them from the 1432 installer

cuz those are the 1432 builds

the "mods" menu on 1432 isn't used

it's an on/off toggle

[runic dove]

It's not! Okay, that's what I was asking

[real jacinth]

settings files are where your saves are

[runic dove]

AHA

yes, that's exactly it, thank you!

[real jacinth]

[mod name].globalsettings.json

will be where your saves are. just open them and edit in notepad

and save

I just wanted to err on the side of "giving all information" so I didn't seem like just another person asking a question that's been answered a million times 😅

perfect, thanks so much! problem solved~

[real jacinth]

better more info than less.

[runic dove]

glad to hear it! and thanks again, I'm glad it was really that easy C:

[manic nymph]

I'm using scarab and 1.5, prior to restarting hollow knight I had custom knight, I reopened it, and upon opening the mods section of settings, nothing is there.

[twin mango]

[torn wolf]

my hk is not working

since i disable the 1.5 installer

so i need help

[limber egret]

Head to your saves folder and delete customjnight.Globalsettings.jSON

[manic nymph]

Merci.

[torn wolf]

this happens

[native ice]

steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

[torn wolf]

thanks

[carmine berry]

Even tho i have the mods enabled the thing thats meant to be in the top corner wont show up, i watch relyea's tutorial on it

could it be that im using modinstaller2?

[limber egret]

Are you trying to use Randomiser at all?

Either enemy, or room/item Rando?

[carmine berry]

also the custom skin doesnt show up that i can switch to it

no

[limber egret]

Okay, you want scarab then instead

[carmine berry]

okk

Thx

its working now and custom knight is working as well

[errant lark]

so i tried applying some new custom knight skins but they are not working the character flashes and stays normal any ideas on whats happening

[limber egret]

There's a pinned message was common custom Knight problems

[errant lark]

i looked at it but i dont have any of the things that might cause a problem

[limber egret]

Screenshot the inside of the skin folder, including the address bar

[errant lark]

do you mean inside of the folder?

wait nvm i fixed it the folders where in a folder

[prime void]

my holloq knight will not launch

can i have some help

[limber egret]

Where did you get HK, and what have you done/downloaded so far?

[prime void]

nm fixed it

[crimson spire]

are the randomizer mods on scarab for 1.5?

[native ice]

Nope

If you want to use them check the third pinned message and then get mod installer 1/2

[crimson spire]

oh

after reverting to the beta i can just use the original mod installer?

[grave girder]

Yup

[crimson spire]

oh thats sick

thank you thank you

[cosmic sleet]

anyone know if they are planning on adding randomizer to 1.5

[native ice]

yes

[cosmic sleet]

Sweet

[native ice]

It's a very large and complicated mod so it may be a while

[cosmic sleet]

yeah

[crimson spire]

I did the whole thing where I verified the integrity of the game files for 1.4 and relaunched the mod installer but that didnt work

I checked and it did not install the mod folder back in

I was wondering if any body could help me with this because the readme did not address this issue

[native ice]

What's the problem?

[fallow pond]

Question about the randomiser: can i savely load my other saves, or will they be affected when i load them with the mod still installed? Thanks!

[dawn birch]

i dont know why

but i cant get modinstaller to get to my actual hollow knight directory

[native ice]

Don't

Disable rando before trying to load non rando saves

[fallow pond]

Ok thanks

[native ice]

What does it tell you?

[dawn birch]

it does not tell me anything

the problem is

when i go here (im on mac btw) ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight i cannot see the games files i can only see my save files

so i tried to use the normal hollow knight app

and it dosent work

[native ice]

???

Why are you going to your save files and what do you mean the normal hollow knight app doesn't work

[crimson spire]

@native ice the mods still arent loading

into the game

[native ice]

What game version are you on?

[crimson spire]

1.4

with mod installer 2

[dawn birch]

what i mean is to make modinstaller work you need to find an app that is called hollow knight files and is this directory ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight and thats exactly what i dont see and what i mean by the hollow knight app not working is that i tried to link it to the application in my steam games folder and it still dint work

[native ice]

on the title screen, open the options menu and tell me if there's a mods tab

[native ice]

You don't select the app, you select the folder that contains the app

[crimson spire]

there is not

[dawn birch]

oh i dint know that but i have another question if you already put in your game directory is there a way to change it

[native ice]

What mod installer, 1 or 2?

[dawn birch]

2

[native ice]

Then try this #archived-modding-help message

[native ice]

#archived-modding-help message

[crimson spire]

i actually did those exact steps before

but i'll try again

[dawn birch]

still i cant see the mod menu and second it dosent even let me pick a folder

[native ice]

Did you reset the installer while the installer was closed?

[dawn birch]

wdym

[native ice]

this

did you reset the installer?

[dawn birch]

yes i did and i reseted it while the installer was open

and then just closed and opened the app

[native ice]

Don't do that, close the installer reset it again, reopen it

[dawn birch]

ok

[crimson spire]

Still isn't working. It doesnt look like the Installer is installing the mods into the game files

although if i click "open mods" it shows that it has

under hollow_knight_Data/Managed through "open mods" it only shows the Mods folder and the 2 Assembly-CSharp files

but when I navigate to the same location through This PC>steam apps>Hollow Knight it shows no mod folders, 2 of the csharp files (one of them is different), and many other files

actually the files they show througought the whole tree is different

i found the readme's under common/Hollow Knight

[dawn birch]

still dosent let me lol

[crimson spire]

oh wait hold on

these are two different locations

on is steam apps one is steam

i mean steam library

[dawn birch]

i tried using the steam app and waited 2 min and then opened the game and no mod menu

[native ice]

Well, delete the one that currently has mods, reset the installer, and try again

[crimson spire]

exactly

[native ice]

are the mods showing up in the top left?

[dawn birch]

nope

[native ice]

Did you select the right file?

[dawn birch]

i selected the hollow knight app

and thats it

[native ice]

Wait, so you selected the app, it didn't install mods, and then you tried to reset the installer with the installer closed, and then it didn't give you the prompt to select a new file path?

[dawn birch]

yes it gave me the option to choose a new path but i couldnt choose anything else

[native ice]

You couldn't select the Hollow Knight folder?

[dawn birch]

in ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry i just could see my save files

[dawn birch]

it dint let me select folders

[native ice]

not the app, but the folder?

Reset it again and screenshot it, cause it should let you

[crimson spire]

how do I set where the mod installer locates?

[native ice]

Reset your mod installer, with the installer closed, and then run it again #archived-modding-help message

[dawn birch]

look at the bottom right

[native ice]

Huh, guess it's different on mac

[dawn birch]

i just cant choose a folder

[native ice]

okay, well select it again and then try this #archived-modding-help message

[crimson spire]

finally it worked! thanks for the help

[dawn birch]

did all of that andddd now my game just crashes everytime i open it

[crimson spire]

@native ice So I actually lied and it isnt fixed

When I start the game it gives me the loading bar which is promising but it cuts short and gives me a memory error

"The memory could not be written"

I've tried repairing files already

[native ice]

can you screenshot the error?

[dawn birch]

easy way out ill just give up

[native ice]

Uhhhh, shit I don't really know for that one, are you trying to get randomizers?

[dawn birch]

just muliplayer and custom knight

[native ice]

Oh, should've asked that a while ago . Try updating your game to 1.5 and getting Scarab

[native ice]

Well that's a new one

[crimson spire]

Thats not a good thing to hear

[wicked gazelle]

Question: does anyone know if someone's made a custom skin where you play as a grub?

[native ice]

I haven't seen or heard of one

[wicked gazelle]

Hmm, okay. Might have to start making one when I've got spare time

[crimson spire]

@native ice any ways I might be able to trouble shoot this

[native ice]

I'm really not sure, you might be able to get more help if you join the modding server, I believe some people have put the link in #modding-discussion or if you check the pins, DwarfWoot has a link in his About Me.

[crimson spire]

Okay

Thanks for all your help so far

[native ice]

Just a heads up, it's a smaller server so it may be a bit till you get a response, but more modders and experienced people will check there

[twilit orbit]

Im getting a "must download recent stable version message" when I try to download the radiande mod installer

You're using the wrong installer for your game version, if you're looking for a randomizer, check the third pinned message, otherwise the first pinned message shows which installer is for what game version

[twilit orbit]

Thank you very much

Damn, Ive been trying for too long with the wrong version

[opal moth]

Hello guys

Can someone give some information about the mod?

HK is for sure my favorite game, so i started to find a way to play the game in a coop, with my girlfriend. Thats how i came here :)

How is the enemies and bosses synchronization when playing on-line?

I read a bit about it, but couldnt understand well how it works. Does the same enemies appears to both players at the same time?

And sorry if i said some poor english. Im from Brazil, things are kind hard here! Did you guys get my point?

[native ice]

Enemy and boss sync isn't implemented at all, it's pretty complicated and it's being worked on but it may be a long time till it's actually finished. There is a tiny bit of sync, in that other players can hit your enemies, it's just that they get desynced quick. And you weren't exactly clear, do you need help setting up mods or were you just asking about the enemy sync

[opal moth]

Just about the enemy sync

Youve aready helped me

A lot

Thank you S2

[jagged latch]

When I tried to install the mod launcher (See image) I get a warning after l selected the folder where my install of the game is. and It says that I need to update the game. but I already downgraded to 1.4.3.2 32-bit compadible

[native ice]

Did you download that installer from nexus mods?

[jagged latch]

no, the github page

[native ice]

Hm

Then your installer may be looking at the wrong game directory, to find out which one steam is using, go to your steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse > check the file pathing of the folder that opened

Then after you've done that, reset your installer (Make sure the installer is closed while resetting it): #archived-modding-help message
and then run it again and select the correct file path

[nimble sky]

I know this isn't directly modding related but I'm not sure where else to ask? Sprite packer won't open. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I don't even know what information to provide to fix this because, as far as I can tell, there shouldn't be any special requirements to opening the program if the Sprites folder is in the right spot, which it seems to be.

[alpine hollow]

what is the correct file path? i have the same problem

[native ice]

I explained that

[alpine hollow]

the path the game is installed in on steam is the same for the installer, am i doing something wrong?

wrong version i think its working now

[glad tree]

Does anyone know the location of the games image files and such on windows?

I want to edit a few sprites but I can't find them after checking all the normal locations

[pliant lantern]

The game sprites aren't just "in" a folder. They are compressed into .dll files.

[glad tree]

Welp so I guess editing the sprites is going to take alot more work than I first thought?

[pliant lantern]

You can get all of the 1432 sprite sheets from a pin in #art-discussion

And you can use the Swapper feature of Custom Knight to change the sprites of stuff in-game

[glad tree]

Custom knight?

[pliant lantern]

C u s t o m
K n i g h t

[glad tree]

You've lost me

[pliant lantern]

Custom Knight is a mod

[twilit orbit]

Are there any randomizers for 1.5?

[pliant lantern]

That primarily replaces the sprites of the Knight, but CK for 1.5 can also replace sprites of just about anything else too.

[pliant lantern]

Not currently.

[twilit orbit]

Nice

[glad tree]

uh is it on the scarab thingy modloader

wait so i've got a mod enabled on scarab and its connected to my game files

will it work if i just boot up the game

or do i need to do some more tech mumbo jumbo

[pliant lantern]

If you used Scarab to install a mod, and you are on Current patch, then the mod will just be enabled when you start the game.

[glad tree]

ok i loaded up the enemy hp bar

and custom knight

and my game kinda screwed itself

it showed me with 4 completed soul vessels, my inventory was open in the world and i couldnt move

[pliant lantern]

Did you un-enable anything?

Like, CustomKnight requires Satchel

[glad tree]

shit did i unenable the dependancies

i think i did'

im use to terraria modding and most terraria mods dont require dependancies'

so i get confused

[novel bronze]

[lean shoal]

Hey guys. I recently found out about modding for this game and I really like the custom knights. I want to download the mod. But do they work on 1.5 version?

[limber egret]

See the message immediately before you posted

[lean shoal]

oooh I didn't see it. My bad. Thanks a ton

[sleek radish]

how do you use moreSaves?

its a bit weird that the page number morphs with the 1st savefile

[radiant latch]

how do i see what a mod does without downloading it?

or can i?

thank you i'll try

where are they

did i install the wrong mod manager?

[lean shoal]

Try installing a mod you want to read about. Then the read me should show up right of the install button

[radiant latch]

can't i see it without downloading?

[lean shoal]

I dont think so

[radiant latch]

okay thank you

[lean shoal]

no problem!

This is because of your screen resolution. At a higher Rez it should be fine.

[limber egret]

You need Satchel

[lean shoal]

oh

why didnt it tell me that

[limber egret]

It should download it automatically

When you get custom knight

[lean shoal]

Just custom knight got added. But I added satchel ill see if it works

Alright so my game isnt broken anymore but I cant see my skins that I have installed

But they are in my files

oh nope I got it

It was under options and then mods

[nova panther]

hi

how do I use the hollow twitch?

I'm in 1.4.3.2 with modinstaller 2

[gleaming aspen]

one of my mods failed to load and it states I have to check modlog.txt

where would I find that?

[nova panther]

Why the game is slower when I use mods?

[soft mirage]

how do i play multiplayer

???

[fluid ravine]

In appdata, windows+R, %appdata%, back a folder, local low > team cherry

[radiant latch]

because of your mods

[gleaming aspen]

thanks!

[proud sundial]

when i try to use custom skinn they wont work

[nova panther]

And how Can I make the game faster

?

[native ice]

By slower do you mean lag or do you mean everything is literally slowed down

[native ice]

What game version are you on? And in what way do they not work?

[native ice]

#archived-modding-help message

[native ice]

Which mod would that be?

[native ice]

You can find the readme for the mod here, it'll have more information https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/edit?usp=sharing

[gleaming aspen]

randomizer 3 (item or room)

only that one doesnt load

I think

[native ice]

Make sure you have the following mods installed: ModCommon, Benchwarp, SereCore, Vasi, and QoL

[gleaming aspen]

I also cannot revert back to vanilla hollow knight

I am using all these mods :/

revert to unmodded*

I am not knowledgeable on these subjects sorry

[native ice]

That button doesn't work and it gives wrong instructions, you're supposed tov erify your game integrity, but don't reopen the mod installer afterwards. To verify game integrity: Go to your steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

[gleaming aspen]

everything is verified

and redownloaded

and verified again

[native ice]

Are they showing up in-game in the top left corner, can you screen shot it? If you want rando to work

[native ice]

Did you re-open the mod installer after verifying, if so that undoes it

[tropic lotus]

so i have downloaded scarab and can't get the mods to work. does it have something to do with the V-sharp files?

[gleaming aspen]

I think I opened HK first

[tropic lotus]

not v c

[gleaming aspen]

some might be missing

[native ice]

No, those are required, in what way is it not working

[tropic lotus]

it's just not showing up

[native ice]

oh wait

My bad replied to the wrong person

[gleaming aspen]

you wanna do his thing first?

to make things clear

[native ice]

Nope, you just need to make sure Vasi, SereCore, and QoL are installed, if the mod installer says they are then it's wrong. Can you go to your mods folder and screenshot it?

[gleaming aspen]

serecore isnt here

I found something

wait

[native ice]

\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\

[native ice]

The assembly-csharp file is missing, what do you mean?

[tropic lotus]

no, i mean is there another file i have to make for it to work

[gleaming aspen]

its fixed

thanks for your help man

[tropic lotus]

does it have something to do with those files though

[native ice]

I don't know what you're talking about...

[tropic lotus]

last time i installed mods i was told to add another file

[native ice]

If you mean, are the Assembly-CSharp files important, the answer is yes. They make all the mods work

[gleaming aspen]

I had disabled QoL because i wanted to race someone and didnt want faster texts. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling the mod, it didnt automatically enable again and thus didnt load up in the game

now everything works!

[native ice]

Ah

[tropic lotus]

but am wondering what i have to do

[native ice]

You shouldn't have to manually add any files, unless something was broken

[tropic lotus]

ok

[native ice]

Are mods not working?

[tropic lotus]

ye

[mighty coyote]

Is there a way for other players to see ur skin as well as everyone not having the same skin on when I toggle mine on?

[tropic lotus]

they don't show up

[native ice]

Yes, but you need to be using HKMP, in-case you're using the out-dated multiplayer on the installer. Here's a guide for setting up HKMP and how to use skins with it: #archived-modding-help message

[mighty coyote]

It's been a while since I've popped in here but, do I which version do I use

[native ice]

Can you open Scarab and press the "Open Mods" button in the bottom left, in the folder that opens, are all the mods in place (DLL files inside separate folders)?

[mighty coyote]

Cuz iirc 1.5 was messed up or smth

[native ice]

Game version?

[mighty coyote]

Or the current patch

[mighty coyote]

Yea

Like few months ago HK got an update or smth

[native ice]

Yep. It depends on what mods you're looking for, a lot of the mods have been updated but if you're looking for one that isn't, mainly randomizers, then you stick with 1.4.3.2 and mod isntaller, otherwise go with 1.5 and Scarab as the mods there are more up to date

[tropic lotus]

they sho as folders but inside the folders are the dll

[pastel mango]

Is it possible to import mods(.dll files) into Scarab?
if it is can someone tell me how?

[nova panther]

Everything slowed down.

[native ice]

That's good

[nova panther]

Thanks 3000!!

[native ice]

Press the "Open Mods" button in the bottom left of scarab, and then create a new folder inside the Mods folder, and place the DLL there, make sure to also get any dependancy mods

[native ice]

Do you have Debug?

[mighty coyote]

Me and my friends just plan on playing through the game but multiplayer, do we all need to have custom Knight installed for them to see my skins and vice versa?

[pastel mango]

Alright thank you for the help

[tropic lotus]

it is?

[native ice]

Uh, I can't remember if you all need to install custom knight, I think not but it doesn't hurt. And just make sure you all get the skins each person wants and label them with the right ID number

[native ice]

Yep, that's how it is in Scarab

[nova panther]

De what?

[native ice]

Debug Mod

[tropic lotus]

ok

[nova panther]

I don't think so

[tropic lotus]

i think it's working now

[native ice]

O

[native ice]

Are you sure, when you launch the game you don't see the name "Debug Mod" in the top left?

[nova panther]

One moment

I'll check it

It doesn't appear @native ice

[native ice]

Hm, is your game still slow?

[nova panther]

I think it sometimes low the fps

[candid sedge]

Is it possible to use CustomKnight Mod on Xbox PC? like the app on pc

[crystal zodiac]

whenever I launch HK with customknight I cannot create a new save, and my game breaks if I join an existing one

[native ice]

No, mods are only available for Steam or GoG copies

[nova panther]

GoG?

[candid sedge]

Ah i see :/

[native ice]

It's another platform like Steam

[nova panther]

Ah ok

[native ice]

Uh, what do you mean?

[crystal zodiac]

If i create a new save with customknight and modcommon it freezes and wont create, and if I join an existing save I can only move and jump (no dashing/double jump) and i cannot pause the game

[native ice]

Uh... I genuinely have no clue

[crystal zodiac]

i need to have the skin files unzipped correct?

[native ice]

Yes, but that shouldn't cause that

[crystal zodiac]

could it be one of the skin files themself

[native ice]

Wait, what game version are you on?

[crystal zodiac]

1.4.3.2

[native ice]

Opt out of the beta and download scarab, it's for 1.5 and it has custom knight, it might work better somehow, you'll also need to change where the skins are placed but give that a try

?pins a download for scarab is in the pins

[native ice]

That's not just custom knight and mod common :/

[crystal zodiac]

[fair briar]

if you're still on 1.4 then don't use scarab

[native ice]

Then Mod installer failed to disable them

[crystal zodiac]

im not

[fair briar]

go back to 1.4

if you can't use scarab

[native ice]

Is your mod installer on your desktop, not in a zipped file, and being ran as administrator

[native ice]

I don't think they're on 1.5 or using scarab

[fair briar]

I think they are on 1.5

[crystal zodiac]

im attempting to use scarab on 1.5 rn but it just doesnt

i dont know how to explain

scarab doesnt load into the game

[native ice]

Oh

[fair briar]

go to steam > right click hk > properties > betas > select 1.4 32 bit compatibility

if it's already selected, tell me

and don't do anything

[crystal zodiac]

it was not already selected

[fair briar]

then select it

[crystal zodiac]

now it is

vasi now installed without error

[fair briar]

using scarab or the modinstaller?

[crystal zodiac]

hk wont launch anymore

[fair briar]

yeah don't use scarab

[crystal zodiac]

im going to use modinstaller instead

[nova panther]

No element coincide with the search

[native ice]

What?

[pliant fjord]

[native ice]

Doubt

[shut horizon]

:)

[pliant fjord]

thanks it worked :))

[native ice]

That's not installed lmao

[shut horizon]

BRO

I have the game bought, not installed, precisely because I don't have space on my computer, the screenshot is because I wanted to play with some friends a while ago, the game crash, I forgot to ask and they reminded me, and I passed.

I don't understand why I have to give you any damn explanation, just help me if you know how to do it, if not, don't.
If you want i'll reinstall the game and check it, it will crash again.

Okay, let's see

Thank you for accusing me and treating me like a lying thief, very nice.

[west bane]

issues align up with someone who has pirated

and even if yours does crash like that on install, then that's not really a modding error

[shut horizon]

Well, maybe it's a modding error, I don't know, I came to ask for help and I'm bombarded like this even though I've said I've bought the game, and I have to explain myself. It's not a good way to treat someone.

[fair briar]

We had no way to confirm if you legitimately owned the game, and all your issues pointed at a pirated copy. The only logical assumption is that you pirated the game.

[shut horizon]

Again, it crash

[shut horizon]

I literally passed a screenshot, I think that's enough proof, and the response was "It's not installed, lmao".
Why would I have the game illegally when I bought it? It's a question of logic there too.

[native ice]

If it seems like you have pirated the game, you do have to explain yourself if you want help, pirated copies aren't supported and all the proof you provided is here say and a zoomed in picture that didn't even show your steam account

[fair briar]

You showed a screenshot with the game not installed, while saying it crashed during the launch, how does one launch the game while not having it installed? By having a pirated copy.

[native ice]

Did it crash after you installed it or after running scarab?

?

[shut horizon]

What

The screenshot?

I have sent it, haven't I?

[native ice]

Just now?

[shut horizon]

Give me a sec

[native ice]

That didn't answer my question

[shut horizon]

Sorry, I was sending you the proof

[native ice]

This is a fresh install correct? Did you just run scarab?

[rocky pulsar]

what version is your game

[shut horizon]

Let's see, at the time I tried it with the game previously installed, I installed the modinstaller and it crashed, this time it was the other way around, I had the modinstaller and then installed the game (and yes, I set the path correctly).

[native ice]

...

Mod installer or scarab

[rocky pulsar]

goddamnit

[shut horizon]

Scarab, scarab

Sorry

[fair briar]

(if it was 1.4 it'd say [1.4.3.2] after the name)

[rocky pulsar]

oh yeah

forgor

i would say try to verify integirty of the game files to reset and see

if it works again

[native ice]

Also wait what, you path scarab to a file that didn't exist yet (which scarab wouldn't have accepted) and then installed the game?

[shut horizon]

Are you talking to me? The most recent one, I just reinstalled the game, I think it's called v1.5.78.11833

[native ice]

Oh wait, you just said you had it nvm
