Hi does anyone here know how to install mods into hollow knight that's from steam unlocked?
The modinstaller doesnt work as it says it cant find the installation path

Hi, after enabling a few mods from modinstaller2, my game doesn't respond, a small window pops up saying:

pliant lantern
#

Have you read the top ~3 pins yet?

storm rivet
#

I just did the Pantheon of the Knight and the last boss was the regular Hollow Knight, not the Pure Vessel. I've looked it up online and found no results, did a mod change this or something? Update: Turns out the "Hall of Gods Extras" mod did it, as it seems to be replacing the Pure Vessel with THK

#

There anyway someone could make a skin for me?

limber egret
#

Better asking in #art-discussion probably. It would likely cost a lot of money.

#

i downloaded the mod installer 1.4.3.2 for mac but when i open the application an error report appears saying that mod installer quit unexpectedly

limber egret
#

Have you down patched your game?

agile crown
#

yes]

#

i think i just got the modinstaller working

dull crest
#

so i got the mod installer to work, i down patched my game

#

how do i get the mods to work or how do i open a menu in game or such

#

i wanna test something with the debug mod but im not being able to even use any mods

#

the game just starts like normal in version 1.4.3.2

tiny bronze
#

is there a mod where i can fight nkg and pv at the same time?

#

aside from trial of the gods

terse nacelle
#

pretty sure theres a coloseum mod for that

#

forgot the name tho

#

wait nvm thats trial of the gods

tiny bronze
#

i thought i could just extract just the nkg x pv and play that alone

#

but idt it works like that

dull crest
#

please help

tiny bronze
#

you install mods from the mod installer, which is outside the game

dull crest
#

yeah

#

i already did that

#

my mods folder from the game folder

limber egret
#

In your HK main menu is there anything written in the top left?

dull crest
#

nope

limber egret
#

Also, you've downloaded the source code for charm overhaul so that won't do anything

dull crest
#

Modding API is "out of date"

#

maybe that's it?

limber egret
#

Click the orange box

dull crest
agile crown
#

i fixed my installer

limber egret
# dull crest

Which installer is this? Mod installer 2 or Scarab?

dull crest
#

mod installer 2 for version 1.4.3.2

#

iirc thats what was told

limber egret
#

And your HK is definitely v 1.4.3.2? You've confirmed this by opening your game and checking?

dull crest
#

yep

#

yes i did

limber egret
#

Good stuff.

#

Before we try to fix this I've got one last question: Is there a reason you're on patch 1432? The only main mods that are haven't been moved over to the latest patch are randomiser mods. Are you wanting to play one of those?

#

(They will be updated in the future, they're just complex so take time.)

dull crest
#

yes i am tbh, for now im just wanting to test stuff with debug mod

limber egret
#

Okay good stuff.

#

If you click that out of date tick what happens?

dull crest
#

clicked it again and this happened

limber egret
#

Also to confirm; your game is closed, correct? Your game needs to be closed while using the installer.

dull crest
#

yep

limber egret
#

Good stuff. Open your game and it should be working

dull crest
#

aight sec

#

ok so it did work

#

thank you

limber egret
#

Good stuff

limber egret
#

That mod should just be on the installer anyway

dull crest
#

how do i get the menu to show?

#

o.o

limber egret
#

F1

dull crest
#

ah

#

thanks

small bluff
#

can you help me out with the mod please

limber egret
small bluff
#

limber egret
#

small bluff
#

void flame
#

the HKMP mod works only with the 1.5?

ocean zealot
#

limber egret
limber egret
ocean zealot
#

cool thanks a lot!

small bluff
#

its saying it cant run what do i do

limber egret
small bluff
#

i went to the website and downloaded it for windows

limber egret
#

Okay, you need to extract that folder to your desktop.

small bluff
#

opened it extracted the files and then tried to run

#

its teh microsoft defender smartscreen

#

nm

#

is the enemy changer a rando for enemies

limber egret
#

No, that's a different mod entirely.

small bluff
#

oh ok

limber egret
#

Enemy Rando is only available on older versions of the game.

small bluff
#

what does the enemy changer do

limber egret
#

There should be a little button next to each mod that has a dropdown with a short description

small bluff
#

ok

limber egret
#

?mods

limber egret
#

This link will have some information, but it might be the same info that's on that drop-down

void flame
#

my HKMP mod for 1.4 failed to load... i don't know what is the problem

limber egret
#

Head to your saves folder and send modlog.txt

void flame
#

where can i find this file?

ocean zealot
#

What if the mods arent loading in like the mod manager is on and enbaled but when i login to hollow knight the mods aret there sorry.

There should be a few buttons at the bottom. Do any of them say "enable API" or "Disable API"?

ocean zealot
#

it is enabled but it doesnt work

limber egret
#

What mods have you downloaded so far?

ocean zealot
#

Randomizer and the necessary mods, custom knight and the multiplayer needed mods

void flame
limber egret
limber egret
# void flame thx

You're missing a dependency of some sort but I'm not sure which one. Try getting SFCore?

ocean zealot
#

then after that do i relaucnh the game?

limber egret
#

It will remake them all, so don't panic if they come back. The problem seems to be that sometimes the first time they're made they don't work properly for some unknown reason.

ocean zealot
#

still doesn't work unfortunately.

limber egret
#

Still nothing appearing in the top left?

ocean zealot
#

yea

limber egret
#

Screenshot your mod installer for me

ocean zealot
limber egret
#

screenshot your HK main menu too, plz

ocean zealot
limber egret
#

How many files did you delete from your saves folder. Should've been 2 or 3, I believe?

#

debug, custom knight, and becnhwarp

ocean zealot
#

3

limber egret
#

hmmmmmmm

#

In Options is the a Mods option?

ocean zealot
#

nope, do you think it helps if i just redownlaod hollow knight?

limber egret
#

It probably won't.

#

Where abouts on your computer is your mod installer?

ocean zealot
#

Modisntaller 2 actually worked

#

Thanks a lot

limber egret

Haha, good stuff

Have you extracted the folder?

#

Do i need to do a new save to use mods?

real jacinth
#

depends on the mod

#

most of them, no

fallow torrent
#

ok]

#

thanks never done hollow knight mods before lol

weak wharf
#

how do i change the mods i enabled on scarab

limber egret
#

Click the enabled tick box and it will disable them

weak wharf
#

no- like the program

#

when i reopen the installer it automatically closes

limber egret
#

Which installer are you opening, scarab?

#

Or are you trying to open a different installer?

weak wharf
#

no

#

only scarab

limber egret
#

Try right clicking on scarab and click "run as administrator"

weak wharf
#

done

#

still not working

Hey guys!, one question. I installed the QOL mod so I can skip the Absolute Radiance intro in the pantheon, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is the mod not working or it just doesn't skip that cutscene in particular?

Hi I was playing randomizer the last day, and when I try to open the game again today it won't start. I can only see a black screen and no keys work... I'm on mac m1. Does somebody know how to fix this?

real jacinth
#

not without context

real blaze
#

Umm... I have these mods, and I quitted the game normally last time. I guess I'll try removing my saves..

real jacinth
#

click the orange box

real blaze
#

Oh

real blaze
real jacinth
#

it still says out of date

#

probably didn't wait long enough

#

you also don't have modcommon

real blaze
foggy hatch
#

does scarab work on 1.4.3.2

real jacinth
#

no

foggy hatch
#

damn

real jacinth
real blaze
#

As far as I remember, nothing

real jacinth
#

what'd you do

#

the API doesn't just become out of date for no reason

#

so you did something

#

what was it

real blaze
#

lol idk I didn't open hk nor mod installer

limber egret
real blaze
#

the api was out of date from the first time

real jacinth
real blaze
#

Now I'm wondering why I was able to play the game last time 😂

real jacinth
#

you also didn't have modcommon, so nothing should have been working

#

So.... really confused what you did

#

desktop

#

you should have that on desktop too

#

all installers should just be put on desktop

#

and run from there

real blaze
#

Now I have no idea why it worked last time and it doesn't now

real jacinth
#

where did you get your game from

real blaze
#

steam

real jacinth
#

and what patch is it currently

real blaze
#

1.4.3.2, same as last time

real jacinth
#

do the bottom link first

#

then do the top one

#

then run your installer

real blaze
#

Thanks I'll try it

real jacinth
#

what

#

the 1432 modinstaller has no other dlls to work

#

so dunno what you're talking about

#

it's just the exe

#

scarab should be packaged with all the files it comes with

#

extract the whole folder to the same place

#

what dlls

#

download scarab.zip, extract contents to desktop

#

run the scarab.exe in the folder you extracted

#

that's it

real blaze
real jacinth
#

yes

real blaze
#

I updated modding API, checked it says Installed? and opened hk but black screen again 😦

real jacinth
#

did you do the other step from the steamcommunity link

real blaze
#

Yeah but it doesn't work

real jacinth
#

do you have 2 game installs?

#

on different drives?

real blaze
#

I think no?

real jacinth
#

verify your game files again and just try launching the game after that

#

no

#

why do you insist on moving things around

#

extract the entire zip to a folder on desktop

#

all of it

#

the entire thing

#

all contents

#

what?

#

the scarab exe and all the files it comes packaged with IS scarab

#

what mod

west bane
#

releases > . dll

real jacinth
#

you are downloading the source code

#

dont do that

real blaze
real jacinth
real jacinth
real blaze
#

btw I just remembered, I think I changed the location of modinstaller since last time (~/Downlaods -> ~/Applications)

real jacinth
#

if your game is black screening after it finishes validating that means you have another issue

#

b/c that's vanilla game

real blaze
#

I tried verifying again and it said all files correct that time

real jacinth
#

in the game files

#

yes

#

mod dlls go in folders for 1.5

#

inside mods

real blaze
#

Guess today's not the day for me to play hk 🥲 Gonna try another day...

noble granite
#

ok I don't usually ask for help on discords & stuff but man I'm lost, I've been trying to figure out how to do something like fireb0rn's 7 player randomizer stream for like the last few days and I just can't figure it out..

So far I've gathered that this (https://github.com/Shadudev/HollowKnight.MultiWorld) is the mods right? + Custom Knight ... I've tried and tried to figure out the readme but it feels vague to me..
Do I have to use HKMP (the older version) with this? Or does multiworld work on it's own? Also do you guys recommend making my own server or just running off of the public one and if so how do I run on the public one?

And if I'm doing my own server can it be over Hamachi? or does it require portforwarding?

For context, the playthrough will only have 4 people tops and we only want custom knight and multiworld as far I can tell. Sorry for the long question, I'm fairly new to HK modding however I have done lots of modding in other games..

Also apologies if this has been answered elsewhere already, I did try to search the channel & pins but didn't get a clear answer

GitHub

A randomizer add-on for Multi World functionalities - GitHub - Shadudev/HollowKnight.MultiWorld: A randomizer add-on for Multi World functionalities

real jacinth
#

multiworld is its own thing

#

hkmp just lets you see other players

#

you can use the public server just fine, just set up your own room code on it when you make the seed

#

otherwise, if you want to make your own server, you can, but that requires port forwarding or hamachi

gray frost
#

hey i just downloaded scarab but for some reason it wont let me click on the installed or enabled buttons, i am on 1.5.x and tried reinstalling once. Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?

real jacinth
#

wdym won't let you

gray frost
#

well, nothing happens

real jacinth
#

you should also only be clicking the install buttons

#

and then wait for it to download the mod

#

enable will auto-check when it's done downloading

#

your game should also be closed

gray frost
#

does the cross appear immediately after clicking?

real jacinth
#

no

gray frost
#

oh sorry

#

im an idiot

#

thanks though

#

i got it

noble granite
#

Sorry but one more question, Do I need both of these or just the MultiWorldServer?

real jacinth
#

only MW

#

you can't use both at the same time

#

this just comes packaged with two different types of "multiworld" rando

#

the itemsync does i should say

#

you don't need the server zip if you plan to use the public server

#

the multiworld dll should be in that itemsync zip

noble granite
#

Oh okay, so If I'm playing on the public server I don't need to get either? or am I misunderstanding?

real jacinth
#

you need the itemsync zip

#

inside the zip, will be multiple mods,

#

itemsync and multiworld

#

only use one or the other

mossy smelt
#

you only need itemsync

real jacinth
#

the zip

#

you don't want the itemsync mod

#

they want multiworld

#

which is inside the itemsync.zip

mossy smelt
#

If they want something like fireb0rn's streams, they want itemsync

karmic vapor
#

Ive been trying to get the mods to work and i cant get them to work what should i do

real jacinth
#

actually explain your issue

#

would be a good start

karmic vapor
#

so modding api dosent open

noble granite
real jacinth
#

yes

mossy smelt
#

as far as I understand multiworld, it means that your wings could be in another player's world

real jacinth
#

multiworld, everyone's items are mixed together

#

item sync, if one person finds an item, that same item is given to everyone instantly

karmic vapor
#

i really dont know my issue idk how to find it

real jacinth
#

so in multiworld.... P1 could find P2's item at false knight

#

but they won't get it themselves

west bane
real jacinth
#

until the P1 version of the item is found somewhere

real jacinth
#

so you probably mean the installer?

#

which installer?

#

where'd you get it from?

#

what patch is your game?

#

where'd you buy the game from?

noble granite
#

Ah okay, then yes ItemSync is what I want. Thank you so much for the help I should be able to figure it out from here on

real jacinth
#

what OS are you on?

karmic vapor
#

yes

real jacinth
#

lol

#

yes to all questions?

karmic vapor
#

sorry

#

mod installer 2 this discord 1.4.3.2 steam

real jacinth
#

so you can't open the installer at all?

#

did you unzip it

karmic vapor
#

i unziped it and can open it

real jacinth
#

so.... what's the issue

karmic vapor
#

when i open the game the mods dont show up

real jacinth
#

screenshot your installer

#

and what OS are you on

karmic vapor
#

how do i check os

mossy smelt
#

windows or mac?

karmic vapor
#

windows

karmic vapor
real jacinth
#

no

#

open the installer

#

and screenshot it

karmic vapor
real jacinth
#

click the installed tab

#

i want to see what you installed

#

which so far looks like nothing

karmic vapor
real jacinth
#

okay, so now screenshot your title screen of the game

karmic vapor
real jacinth
#

if you go into options, is there a mods option

karmic vapor
#

no

real jacinth
#

^ try this

karmic vapor
#

the thing is I have

real jacinth
#

so do it again

#

order of operations matters

#

if you did it before then undid it with something else....

#

order matters

#

you'll probably have to click the modding api install box again afterwards

#

should say "out of date"

karmic vapor
#

ok

#

it said 2 files and not one is that a problem

real jacinth
#

no

karmic vapor
#

I did everything in order and it still didnt work

real jacinth
#

did you have to do anything with the api on the installer

karmic vapor
#

no

real jacinth
#

then sounds like you have 2 game installs

#

and your installer is putting mods on the wrong copy

real blaze
karmic vapor
#

how do i fix that

real jacinth
#

did you reinstall the game recently

#

on another drive

karmic vapor
#

i dont think so

real jacinth
#

you should check and make sure

karmic vapor
#

how do i check

real jacinth
#

look through your files

#

see if the game exists in multiple places

#

probably on C:/ and D:/ drives in the same file path

#

you can find where your game actually is by right clicking it in steam -> properties -> local files -> browse

hybrid junco
#

Does anybody know of any Hornet skin mods that aren't bad?

real jacinth
#

so then check that same spot/path, but on the other drive

#

(assuming you have a C and D drive)

novel bronze
karmic vapor
#

so i have 2 installs i found both what do i do

real jacinth
#

delete the one that steam isn't using

#

and then reset your installer

novel bronze
#

@real jacinth do you know why modinstaller keeps crashing (im on mac btw)

real jacinth
karmic vapor
#

where do i start deleteing

real jacinth
#

then run installer again, and it should detect your single game

#

delete the whole Hollow Knight folder

real jacinth
#

then double click the scarab app it puts on desktop

hybrid junco
karmic vapor
#

it says i dosent find an istallation path

real jacinth
#

so tell it where your install is

novel bronze
real jacinth
#

did you delete what you had before?

#

did it extract an app?

novel bronze
#

yea the zip file turned into scarab

#

and it said it quit unexpectedly

real jacinth
#

okay, right click the app/show contents

novel bronze
#

ok

real jacinth
#

then go to macOS/scarab, and double click that scarab file

novel bronze
#

ok what now

#

shows a text editor

#

and a pop up said detected hollow knight i stall

#

install*

real jacinth
#

you should see these files,

novel bronze
#

oh scarab opened

real jacinth
novel bronze
#

ty

karmic vapor
#

it says the folder is invalid

real jacinth
#

then you selected the wrong one

karmic vapor
#

i sopyed it from the managed folder

real jacinth
#

what

karmic vapor
#

where am i supposed to put the mods

real jacinth
#

you shouldn't put them anywhere, the installer handles that

#

you should point the installer to the "hollow knight" folder

#

the one that has "hollow_knight_data" in it

#

and the hollow knight exe

karmic vapor
#

ok i was going to deep in the files

real jacinth
#

so if you pointed it to the managed folder, that's not the right folder

karmic vapor
#

what do i do if its out of date

real jacinth
#

click the orange box

karmic vapor
#

thanks so much i finnaly got modding api to install

#

mods work now sorry for being a newborn

real jacinth
novel bronze
#

@real jacinth

#

do you know why when i try to enable a custom skin in game it just freezes after i apply it?

#

and when i try to apply it in the startup menu it just loads to default?

#

nvm i got it

exotic saffron
#

I don't want to disturb anyone but I'm new do the mods and don't know many things, I have 2 questions:

#
  1. How do you change the skin of the knight?
#
  1. The name of the Item Randomizer
west bane
#

custom knight
randomizer

exotic saffron
west bane
#

that is the name of the mod yes

exotic saffron
#

okk thanks, the name of the item randomizer?

west bane
#

randomizer

exotic saffron
#

just randomizer?

limber egret
#

Randomiser 3

exotic saffron
#

okk thanks to everyone who could've helped me

honest chasm
#

i'm trying to install the mod installer, but it keeps saying i need to update to the most recent patch

#

i don't really know what i'm doing

#

can somebody help please?

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
honest chasm
#

if i downgrade version, it wont mess with my save right?

limber egret
#

It won't, but you can also just use the installer for the current patch

honest chasm
#

what do you mean?

limber egret
#

Instead of using an old installer and down patching

#

Use the most up to date installer from the first pinned message

honest chasm
#

is it just the same thing?

#

for some reason i had the idea the other one was better

#

am i being stupid?

limber egret
#

It's the one that has 1.5 written next to it

honest chasm
#

lol

#

yeah, but it's by different people

#

scarab

#

what i've been told is to use the other one

#

idk if that's right

limber egret
#

You only need to down patch if you're wanting to use Randomiser

honest chasm
#

yeah, that's what i'm planning on using

limber egret
#

Okay, then yes you'll need to down patch.

honest chasm
#

alright

#

thanks

#

How do I install mod for cracked version?

west bane
#

you dont

median phoenix
#

so i installed scarab but i cant figure out how to iput it into hollow knight

#

or how to make it an exe file

west bane
#

unzip the folder, run the .exe

median phoenix
#

there is no exe

west bane
#

you downloaded the wrong thing

median phoenix
#

I downloaded the windows file

west bane
#

screenshot the folder contents

median phoenix
west bane
#

you double click scarab

median phoenix
#

ok

#

ok its downloaded now

#

what is the vasi mod?

west bane
median phoenix
#

how do i switch to the gun lmfao

novel bronze
#

Search for hollow pointe in scarab and install it but it makes permanent changes to the savefile so you dnt wann use a existing one

median phoenix
#

yeah i made a new one

#

am i not supposed to be able to heal

novel bronze
#

So and when you press the heal Button you should switch between nail and gun

median phoenix
#

ye

real jacinth
#

read the readme

#

the mod changes a lot

median phoenix
#

it says i need mod common

limber egret
#

Did you read the whole thing?

#

There's a lot of info in there

novel bronze
median phoenix
#

i mean its running currently

limber egret
#

Your mod might just be working as intended

#

And you just don't know what it does.

median phoenix
#

I found the fix

#

custom knight isnt showing up in the mod section for me

limber egret
#

Does anything show up in the top left corner of your main menu?

#

You downloaded both of them from scarab, right?

Hello! I have a quick question

#

I read on a Steam community post that mods don't work properly on 1.5 and that I should downpatch, is that still the case?

limber egret
#

Quick answer: No

#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
shrewd yarrow
#

Oh ok, there's a list of mods that work in 1.5, I'm guessing not all old mods that didn't get updated are still supported but most main ones should be

limber egret
#

Pretty much, yeah. Rando are the main mods not brought up to date yet.

shrewd yarrow
#

Oh dang, no 1.5 rando 😦 too bad

#

Thanks for the help!

#

Anything major that 1.5 changed that I should keep in mind when downpatching and stuff?

limber egret
#

Not really

#

Watcher Knights got a back roll attack

fossil vapor
#

that sounds super annoying lmao

#

I hope I'm not interrupting this with my question, but is there any fix to this?

limber egret
#

There's a pinned message about it

fossil vapor
#

oh, sorry

shrewd yarrow
limber egret
#

They used to wind up their roll, now they do a full backwards one

#

Anyway, yeah. There's very few actual differences.

shrewd yarrow
#

Oh huh
"Fixed issue where Watcher Knight's back roll was not happening"
That's interesting wording

@limber egret it started working randomly

i dont know what happend but i aint complaining

oak mango
#

I'm having some trouble with modinstaller2. every time I try to open the game with it on, it immediately crashes

limber egret
#

What patch is your game?

oak mango
#

It's should be fully up to date

#

Let me check

wheat orchid
#

If it is, then mod installer 2 won’t work on it

oak mango
#

ho

wheat orchid

Mod installer 2 is for patch 1.4.3.2, the most recent one is 1.5.x.x

Is there any easy fix for it

Rotate your file again so it's the right way up?

cursive pagoda
#

ok so i was initially playing xbox store version but couldnt use mods because the of problems with changing read/write permissions with the WindowsApps folder the game installs to. I've said screw it and gotten the steam version.

Installed scarab and the game started crashing with a Unity error on launch (at the language screen), un and reinstalled, verified it works vanilla and reinstalled scarab. Still crashing at language screen. Version should be up to date with current patch for clarity

limber egret
#

What OS are you on?

cursive pagoda
#

Win 10, whatever version is current

limber egret
#

After you download scarab did you extract the folder?

cursive pagoda
#

yes

#

and then ran scarab.exe and linked it to the game folder

limber egret
#

Move the extracted folder to your desktop, then right click scarab and click run as administrator

#

What mods have you downloaded so far?

#

Any at all?

cursive pagoda
#

i installed easy mode, but i didnt download it. I assumed the list of mods on scarab were downloaded with scarab

#

ill move to desktop though rn and see what happens

wheat orchid
#

They aren’t downloaded with scarab, installing them downloads them

limber egret
#

Get rid of easy mode and try with no mods at all.

#

^^^
Scarab downloads mods and puts them in the correct place.

novel kernel
#

Can anyone tell me why i cant use 90% of the skins i downloaded

cursive pagoda
#

right, now ive tried both ways but do i keep scarab open when launching game?

wheat orchid
limber egret
#

But it doesn't matter

cursive pagoda
#

alright thanks

wheat orchid
#

Screenshot the inside of a skin folder that doesn’t work, include the path in the screenshot @novel kernel

novel kernel
#

alright

#

one second sir

#

ah.

#

i think i got it

cursive pagoda
#

ok scarab was ran as admin from desktop, no mods installed or enabled, the closed. Game crashed same as before

novel kernel
#

isnt this annoying

cursive pagoda
#

id like the error code but it vanishes too quick

#

wheat orchid
cursive pagoda
#

game boots, then either at the language select screen or before it crashes with some unity error code to desktop

#

which started after scarab was installed (twice)

or is there a naming algorithm where it has the be the same name

The folder name will be the name for the skin that shows up in game

#

novel kernel
#

ah so its inconsequential?

wheat orchid
novel kernel
#

alright

#

cool

#

this is gonna be a pain

#

@wheat orchid thank you @limber egret you too hollowcry

cursive pagoda
#

ok ive got a screen of the main menu. it seems that when i made it past language screen last time it saved that info somewhere?? because on this install it skipped it and went straight to main

wheat orchid
#

Does it still crash?

cursive pagoda
#

not as of yet but I've not installed scarab yet

wheat orchid
#

Ah ok

#

Hold on

#

Did you actually purchase the game on steam?

cedar shadow
#

maybe you havent download api

wheat orchid
cedar shadow
wheat orchid
real jacinth
wheat orchid
#

At this point we should ask people info on their copy first before helping

#

But if you did actually purchase the game on gamepass, iirc there’s a way to get that working @cursive pagoda

real jacinth
#

was before the beta was released

#

so unlikely to work still

#

or be the correct patch even

wheat orchid
#

I’d think it would still work

real jacinth
#

i doubt the gamepass version is even the patch it needs to be

wheat orchid
#

Good point

cursive pagoda
#

look i lied about buying the game on steam, i did not lie about buying the game on windows store and will happily post my windows games library. No I did not buy the game a second time to get around microsofts game install location being bugged (google ;the access control entry is corrupted please delete it or create a new one) to see how common the issue is

real jacinth
#

it's not a bug

cursive pagoda
#

i have tried for hours to change the read/write permissions on that folder

real jacinth
#

microsoft has above admin permissions on game folders

#

you're not going to be able to change them

wheat orchid
#

Tmk there might be a way around it with dual booting with Linux

real jacinth
#

unless you work at microsoft

#

or dual boot, yeah

#

but that's more work than just spending $10

wheat orchid
#

. Not sure if it works for Microsoft store, but it might be worth a try if you don’t want to spend the money

cursive pagoda
#

spending 16 bucks to dual purchase a game i already shelled out for (on xbox store so my kid could also play it on his xbox) is a frivolity i cannot afford. Covid and all that. However i sincerely apologise for deceit, I was just kind of at wits end with the whole thing. I appreciate the help, I'll wait until after xmas and I can buy it on steam if I decide i like the game enough

wheat orchid
#

Wish you luck on getting good prices or finding a solution to modding it

rustic oasis
#

why is scarab not detecting my hollow knight file

#

can anyone help

real jacinth
#

not based on what you've said

rustic oasis
#

well i open scarab

#

and it sais it cant find the file so i selected it

#

and it crashes

real jacinth
#

so you selected the wrong thing

rustic oasis
#

ikd how tho

real jacinth
#

you click a folder that it's not asking for

#

that's how

rustic oasis
#

but it is

real jacinth
#

that's not it

what is it

real jacinth

it's asking for the folder that CONTAINS that

#

oHHh

#

wich one

real jacinth
#

wdym which one

rustic oasis
#

there more inside the folder

real jacinth

that folder can only be in 1 folder

go up 1 folder

not deeper

not even skins?

#

No

novel kernel
#

wheat orchid
#

It’s a sign the game has been tampered with

#

The ModdingApi itself makes the game faster in ways (at least I’ve heard)

#

so do you know whats up

#

I’m gonna give you a link to the hollow knight modding discord where you can ask there in the support channel so somebody more experienced with scarab can help

#

ok

wheat orchid
novel kernel
#

true

#

guess i thought wrong

wheat orchid
#

Also where did you get this info?

novel kernel
#

under that logic

#

shouldnt downpatching

#

also not be allowed?

novel kernel
#

sooo

wheat orchid
#

Could you link a speedrun with it?

#

lmao all i did was drop in i dont watch fire or speedruns often

so nah

dont take anything i say seriously

Which installer are you using?
(Only asking to make sure that you have the correct version for the game version you're on).

At any rate, you may need to right-click the app, select "show package contents", and then open up the folders inside until your find the app inside of it, and run that.

If it's Scarab, then you're looking for a Scarab app inside; if it's ModInstaller2 (only for 1432), then it'd be that.

it didn't work

do i need to open it in Unity?

real jacinth
#

no

#

read the readme

fallow torrent
#

?

#

i am confused

real jacinth
#

the mod makes the settings file. so you can edit that to make custom trials. or you can replace that file with another one you got from somewhere else to play that person's custom trial they made

fallow torrent
#

but where is it?

#

i can't find the file :/

real jacinth
#

where your saves are

#

it also says the file path

fallow torrent
#

i'm on windows and the file path for hollow knight is:
This PC > Local Disc (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > Common >Hollow Knight

real jacinth
#

yeah, that's where your game is

#

not your saves

#

your saves are at the file path i circled

fallow torrent
#

i can't find %AppData%

real jacinth
#

just copy the whole path into your file explorer address bar

#

or into the run command from win+r

fallow torrent
#

can i just open the global thing with NotePad?

real jacinth
#

yes

fallow torrent
#

thanks for the help :)

#

so i can change the health?

and when i'm done i can just put it in the Mod's Folder?

no. you leave it where it is

you can change the things that the readme says

okay
