is there a guide somewhere to show me how to mod it
ah thank you
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
Buy the game
ehh will do when I save up enuff money
Hi, after enabling a few mods from modinstaller2, my game doesn't respond, a small window pops up saying:
Have you read the top ~3 pins yet?
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
im trying to manully install 1.2.2.1 debug mod, and im a bit confused on the creat back ups part. it dosent specif to do it via steam or some other way, i may be stupid and i probably am
You're probably better off on the speedrun Discord. #speedrunning pinned messages.
There anyway someone could make a skin for me?
Better asking in #art-discussion probably. It would likely cost a lot of money.
ok
K thanks
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
Have you down patched your game?
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
is there a mod where i can fight nkg and pv at the same time?
aside from trial of the gods
pretty sure theres a coloseum mod for that
forgot the name tho
wait nvm thats trial of the gods
i thought i could just extract just the nkg x pv and play that alone
but idt it works like that
please help
you install mods from the mod installer, which is outside the game
In your HK main menu is there anything written in the top left?
nope
Also, you've downloaded the source code for charm overhaul so that won't do anything
Click the orange box
i fixed my installer
Which installer is this? Mod installer 2 or Scarab?
And your HK is definitely v 1.4.3.2? You've confirmed this by opening your game and checking?
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.)
yes i am tbh, for now im just wanting to test stuff with debug mod
Also to confirm; your game is closed, correct? Your game needs to be closed while using the installer.
yep
Good stuff. Open your game and it should be working
Good stuff
Just as a reminder
That mod should just be on the installer anyway
F1
can you help me out with the mod please
Depends on your question!
just trying to get it to work

so is the scarab one for the current update
Correct
ok
the HKMP mod works only with the 1.5?
so asking for 1.4 multiplayer, do you have to downlaod both the cleint and server mod?
There is a version for 1.4 and 1.5
The host needs both, everybody else needs just client. (If other people have server then it won't work properly.)
You can also check the pinned messages for HKMP, which is a new version of the multiplayer mod with more features and I believe easier setup.
cool thanks a lot!
its saying it cant run what do i do
What have you done so far?
i went to the website and downloaded it for windows
Okay, you need to extract that folder to your desktop.
opened it extracted the files and then tried to run
its teh microsoft defender smartscreen
nm
is the enemy changer a rando for enemies
No, that's a different mod entirely.
oh ok
Enemy Rando is only available on older versions of the game.
what does the enemy changer do
There should be a little button next to each mod that has a dropdown with a short description
ok

- What OS are you on
- Where did you get HK
- What patch of HK are you on
- What installer are you using
There should be a few buttons at the bottom. Do any of them say "enable API" or "Disable API"?
it is enabled but it doesnt work
What mods have you downloaded so far?
Randomizer and the necessary mods, custom knight and the multiplayer needed mods
thx
Head to your saves folder (see a few messages above for the file path) and delete anything that ends in globalsettings.json
You're missing a dependency of some sort but I'm not sure which one. Try getting SFCore?
then after that do i relaucnh the game?
Yep
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.
still doesn't work unfortunately.
Still nothing appearing in the top left?
yea
Screenshot your mod installer for me
screenshot your HK main menu too, plz
How many files did you delete from your saves folder. Should've been 2 or 3, I believe?
debug, custom knight, and becnhwarp
3
nope, do you think it helps if i just redownlaod hollow knight?
where do i find my saves folder again?

Hey I dont think my randomizer tracker is working? I got it from here. https://github.com/homothetyhk/RandomizerTracker
I tried to download the ModInstaller but something is not working
can you elaborate
Grab the atlas sheet for that enemy, then you need to put it in the Swapper folder with the appropriate file structure for that enemy. I don't remember exactly but I believe it's swapper/scenename/enemyname/atlastfile
thanks
The randomizer tracker is intended for creating a map for area/room rando, and it seems you're doing an item rando
Have you extracted the folder?
If so; right click it and click "explore package contents"
Then open the scarab file inside that
ok
i installed scarab recently and my controller stopped working but when i disable scarab my controller starts to work again can anyone help me with this? (i am using current patch btw)
sorrysorry, I meant which dependency does Custom Knight use? I'm using scarab
vasi
Satchel
You might have to use a program like Joytokey to map your controller to keyboard keys. I don't believe there's been a fix yet
Thanks!
Do i need to do a new save to use mods?
how do i change the mods i enabled on scarab
Click the enabled tick box and it will disable them
Which installer are you opening, scarab?
Or are you trying to open a different installer?
yes
Try right clicking on scarab and click "run as administrator"
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?
- make sure that you're not running Scarab from the .zip file. You need to have extracted it.
- reset it, and then try again. You can use this to reset it: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/890824593848299550/HKModInstaller_Reset.bat
QoL reduces them iirc, doesn't skip them.
There should be a hall of gods mod that does though
hey, is there a place to find public custom knight skins?
no
Yes like the
White palace group
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?
not without context
Umm... I have these mods, and I quitted the game normally last time. I guess I'll try removing my saves..
click the orange box
Oh
Is this correct? Now I get a black screen with a cursor lol
it still says out of date
probably didn't wait long enough
you also don't have modcommon
I installed modcommon, and Modding API seems to have updated. and it's still not working...
does scarab work on 1.4.3.2
no
damn
what else have you changed since playing last
As far as I remember, nothing
what'd you do
the API doesn't just become out of date for no reason
so you did something
what was it
lol idk I didn't open hk nor mod installer
Why would you need it to? 🤣
the api was out of date from the first time

Now I'm wondering why I was able to play the game last time 😂
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
Now I have no idea why it worked last time and it doesn't now
where did you get your game from
steam
and what patch is it currently
1.4.3.2, same as last time

If mods still aren't working click this link for additional instructions: #archived-modding-help message
do the bottom link first
then do the top one
then run your installer
Thanks I'll try it
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
I was doing the last link and when I opened modinstaller, the modding API is out of date again. Is it normal? should I update it again?
yes
I updated modding API, checked it says Installed? and opened hk but black screen again 😦
did you do the other step from the steamcommunity link
Yeah but it doesn't work
I think no?
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
releases > . dll
It said 1 file has to be fixed, but black screen again
did you wait for the file to download
btw I just remembered, I think I changed the location of modinstaller since last time (~/Downlaods -> ~/Applications)
if your game is black screening after it finishes validating that means you have another issue
b/c that's vanilla game
I tried verifying again and it said all files correct that time
Guess today's not the day for me to play hk 🥲 Gonna try another day...
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
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
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?
wdym won't let you
well, nothing happens
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
does the cross appear immediately after clicking?
no
Sorry but one more question, Do I need both of these or just the MultiWorldServer?
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
Oh okay, so If I'm playing on the public server I don't need to get either? or am I misunderstanding?
you need the itemsync zip
inside the zip, will be multiple mods,
itemsync and multiworld
only use one or the other
you only need itemsync
the zip
you don't want the itemsync mod
they want multiworld
which is inside the itemsync.zip
If they want something like fireb0rn's streams, they want itemsync
Ive been trying to get the mods to work and i cant get them to work what should i do
so modding api dosent open
Is there a difference between Multiworld and ItemSync? what purpose does each serve..?
yes
as far as I understand multiworld, it means that your wings could be in another player's world
multiworld, everyone's items are mixed together
item sync, if one person finds an item, that same item is given to everyone instantly
i really dont know my issue idk how to find it
so in multiworld.... P1 could find P2's item at false knight
but they won't get it themselves
you mean you open your game and the mods arent there?
until the P1 version of the item is found somewhere
you shouldn't be "opening" the api
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?
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
what OS are you on?
yes
i unziped it and can open it
so.... what's the issue
when i open the game the mods dont show up
how do i check os
windows or mac?
windows
the file for the installer?
click the installed tab
i want to see what you installed
which so far looks like nothing
okay, so now screenshot your title screen of the game
if you go into options, is there a mods option
no
If mods still aren't working click this link for additional instructions: #archived-modding-help message
^ try this
the thing is I have
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"
no
I did everything in order and it still didnt work
did you have to do anything with the api on the installer
no
then sounds like you have 2 game installs
and your installer is putting mods on the wrong copy
I found out that not only hk but other steam games are getting black screens also, so I restarted my computer and it's working fine now. Thanks a lot for helping!!
how do i fix that
i dont think so
you should check and make sure
how do i check
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
Does anybody know of any Hornet skin mods that aren't bad?
so then check that same spot/path, but on the other drive
(assuming you have a C and D drive)
customknight
extracted what folder?
so i have 2 installs i found both what do i do
@real jacinth do you know why modinstaller keeps crashing (im on mac btw)
Clear all installer memory files/reset it #archived-modding-help message
where do i start deleteing
then run installer again, and it should detect your single game
delete the whole Hollow Knight folder
download scarab zip, move it to desktop, double click it
then double click the scarab app it puts on desktop
Thanks I'll check it out
it says i dosent find an istallation path
so tell it where your install is
it says scarab has quit unexpectedly
okay, right click the app/show contents
ok
then go to macOS/scarab, and double click that scarab file
ok what now
shows a text editor
and a pop up said detected hollow knight i stall
install*
oh scarab opened

ty
it says the folder is invalid
then you selected the wrong one
i sopyed it from the managed folder
what
where am i supposed to put the mods
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
ok i was going to deep in the files
so if you pointed it to the managed folder, that's not the right folder
what do i do if its out of date
click the orange box
thanks so much i finnaly got modding api to install
mods work now sorry for being a newborn

@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
I don't want to disturb anyone but I'm new do the mods and don't know many things, I have 2 questions:
- How do you change the skin of the knight?
- The name of the Item Randomizer
custom knight
randomizer
Is that the name for the skins?
that is the name of the mod yes
okk thanks, the name of the item randomizer?
randomizer
just randomizer?
Randomiser 3
okk thanks to everyone who could've helped me
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?

if i downgrade version, it wont mess with my save right?
It won't, but you can also just use the installer for the current patch
what do you mean?
Instead of using an old installer and down patching
Use the most up to date installer from the first pinned message
is it just the same thing?
for some reason i had the idea the other one was better
am i being stupid?
It's the one that has 1.5 written next to it
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
You only need to down patch if you're wanting to use Randomiser
yeah, that's what i'm planning on using
Okay, then yes you'll need to down patch.
how i put skin?
customknight
How do I install mod for cracked version?
you dont
so i installed scarab but i cant figure out how to iput it into hollow knight
or how to make it an exe file
unzip the folder, run the .exe
there is no exe
you downloaded the wrong thing
I downloaded the windows file
screenshot the folder contents
you double click scarab
how do i switch to the gun lmfao
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
So and when you press the heal Button you should switch between nail and gun
ye
it says i need mod common
But it runs or not
i mean its running currently
I found the fix
custom knight isnt showing up in the mod section for me
Does anything show up in the top left corner of your main menu?
yeah the only thing i currently hanve installed is satchel and custom knight but its just blank
You downloaded both of them from scarab, right?
yeah
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
steam
?saves Close your game, head to your saves folder and delete customknight.globalsettings.json, then try again.

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?
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
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
Pretty much, yeah. Rando are the main mods not brought up to date yet.
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?
that sounds super annoying lmao
I hope I'm not interrupting this with my question, but is there any fix to this?
There's a pinned message about it
oh, sorry
Ooooh thought that was a bug since it sorta happened very very very rarely on old versions! But in hindsight it did look more natural these last times I saw it
They used to wind up their roll, now they do a full backwards one
Anyway, yeah. There's very few actual differences.
Oh huh
"Fixed issue where Watcher Knight's back roll was not happening"
That's interesting wording
thanks btw!
It was accidentally removed about three years ago. It is in the original version of the game.
which mods are the best. just did a gun playthrough
Huh!
uHh why is my custom knight ui broken, the icons for the skins arent showing and when i click on them nothing happens
Icons: Removed a long time ago
Skin not changing: There's a pinned message about that
i tried all the fixes its still broken
Screenshot the inside of the folder with the image files in it, including the address bar
No
Don't ask for help with your pirated game on the official discord
@limber egret it started working randomly
i dont know what happend but i aint complaining
I'm having some trouble with modinstaller2. every time I try to open the game with it on, it immediately crashes
What patch is your game?
If it is, then mod installer 2 won’t work on it
ho
Mod installer 2 is for patch 1.4.3.2, the most recent one is 1.5.x.x
?pins in the first pinned message there’s both a link to a mod installer for 1.5 and a link to a message telling how to revert to 1.4.3.2 you can do either to fix this, but not both

got it thanks
My Dream Nail Animation broke(CustomKnight) Has anybody an idea what happened
can i use HKMP with Radmin? (is there a tutorial?
)
i installed and did all the steps right for custom knight, but when i click the skin i want to change to, it does not change my skin.
On what version
1.4.3.2
Do you have smth like hollow point installed?
nope
i just got bench warp and custom knight (plus the things you need to run them)
There's a message in the pins with common problems
ok
?
What exactly is happening?
I saw somebody with this issue recently and their Dream Nail atlas file was rotated for some reason
Rotate your file again so it's the right way up?
It spins which is very weird so its Not like that the Animation is sideways or so
i did all of the fixes for custom knight but i still cant change skins
If the atlas is sideways it is reading the wrong part of the sheet, it won't just turn the Knight sideways.
Screenshot the inside of your skin folder with the address bar showing
Ok but now I can because I have Do to sth but thanks
is there a mod that fixes dashmaster on 1.4? like the fix on 1.5 but without uppatching
QoL
nvm it works now
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
What OS are you on?
Win 10, whatever version is current
After you download scarab did you extract the folder?
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?
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
They aren’t downloaded with scarab, installing them downloads them
Get rid of easy mode and try with no mods at all.
^^^
Scarab downloads mods and puts them in the correct place.
Can anyone tell me why i cant use 90% of the skins i downloaded
right, now ive tried both ways but do i keep scarab open when launching game?
The folder structure is wrong
You don't have to, no
But it doesn't matter
alright thanks
Screenshot the inside of a skin folder that doesn’t work, include the path in the screenshot @novel kernel
ok scarab was ran as admin from desktop, no mods installed or enabled, the closed. Game crashed same as before
isnt this annoying
I don’t get how the instructions you were given were supposed to fix it before, but what happens again when you launch the game?
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)
um quick help, i downloaded this skin called ikiller whale but theres a winrar inside the folder
Without scarab being used does it display the language screen
yes
Can you screenshot your main menu while it's vanilla?
and the winrar thing has all the files but theres pngs outside it too
Right click, extract. Just another compressed folder since the skin creator was weird
makes sense
Killer whale is weird, those outside don’t matter tmk
yea hang on
Can you try selecting a language with it unmodded then modding it again?
ill do that after i ss it
is it okay if i js extract it into a folder i create and name it whatever i want
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
You can use whatever you want though
ah so its inconsequential?
It’s fine as long as the folder structure is the same as the default skin
alright
cool
this is gonna be a pain
@wheat orchid thank you @limber egret you too 
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
Does it still crash?
not as of yet but I've not installed scarab yet
maybe you havent download api
This is intentional right now….

And they all disappear at this part

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
was before the beta was released
so unlikely to work still
or be the correct patch even
I’d think it would still work
i doubt the gamepass version is even the patch it needs to be
Good point
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
it's not a bug
i have tried for hours to change the read/write permissions on that folder
microsoft has above admin permissions on game folders
you're not going to be able to change them
Tmk there might be a way around it with dual booting with Linux
unless you work at microsoft
or dual boot, yeah
but that's more work than just spending $10
. Not sure if it works for Microsoft store, but it might be worth a try if you don’t want to spend the money
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
Wish you luck on getting good prices or finding a solution to modding it
not based on what you've said
well i open scarab
and it sais it cant find the file so i selected it
and it crashes
so you selected the wrong thing
ikd how tho
that's not it
it's asking for the folder that CONTAINS that
wdym which one
there more inside the folder
im very confused
Yes
Like make the sprites the original ones?
like make the red fury slashes on default skin the basic slashes
the file is still not working
If you can do that with the sprites then yes
Wdym
it just closes and nothing happens
unfortunately i have 0 experience on spriting, however i have 2 skins i really wanna have fury slashes as their default
Well I can’t really help ya there
So you select the Hollow Knight folder and it does nothing?
yea
Is the game open when you do this
no
Can you screenshot the title screen of hollow knight
Yeah
Looks right
is qol allowed for speedruns? ik its not modding but curious
No, modding is not allowed for speed runs
not even skins?
rough
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
i thought faster text scroll was allowed
ok
It’s a mod is it not?
Also where did you get this info?
i saw fireborn using it in speedruns
sooo
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
im more curious than anything
What do I do with the installer after I download it?
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.
Extract it, move the folder to your desktop, then run the app/exe inside
after running the executable file, i get:

Did you actually install the MacOS one?
does the 32 bit older verson beta of hollow knight run worse beacuse its not 64 bit?
It shouldn't be an .exe
In theory, 1.5 should be better.
In practice, for some reason some people find 1432 is better, and others find 1.5 is better. 
which is confusing
hello?
I just double checked, and it's not an exe.
hm
So I'm not sure why your error mentions an exe
foud my other one hold on one sec
wow
it only ran when i ran the exec file
well, thanks
I mean, the file in the pic is the one you're supposed to run
yeah
But that shouldn't be an exe
the app only started when i ran that
Yes
I did say that lol
on my friend's PC it worked opening it normally
At any rate. Have fun 
For whatever reason, about half of MacOS users need to run the root file. No idea why
if you are on a intel mac just duel boot pop!os or windows for a better gaming experince

This is the pin to fixing the common Vasi issue:
#archived-modding-help message
I'm not sure which version you're playing on. Are you trying to get 1432 vasi, or 1.5 vasi?
thanks
I tried installing mods and it didnt work but once i uninstalled it my healing was glitched and with no mods i am now able to instant heal with very little soul
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game

For the randomizer mod, I have to downgrade to the 1.4.3.2 version with the beta tab, right?

infinite grimm works in godhome?

What does Godly Nighmares do?
It sounds like it's that
Also this is a #modding-discussion question. Your mods are clearly working fine
how do i download this skin
Extract it as normal, then click through the folders until you find the actual skin itself
i only see this in any of the folders
There's more folders
Dose anyone have modinstaller for mac?
Is there a way to share the seed of a randomizer run?
So that multiple people can run the same seed?

The seed number is at the top of the screen when you start the game. You can edit that to whatever you like. If you've already started you can head to your saves folder and check your randomiser logs for the seed number.
Thanks :D
Where do i put a save file i dowloaded online?

Ok ty
can anyone help? i downloaded debug mod from modinstaller 1
when i launch hk nothing happens i got ModCommon and debug installed im on this version
That version isn’t compatible with mod installer 1. Look in the first pinned message for both a link to a installer for that version (1.5) and instructions for reverting your game to 1.4.3.2. You can do either of the things I mentioned but not both

Is it normal for the redwing mod to randomly disable dashing?
alr got it thx
i just downloaded scarab and installed debug from there, still nothing
Did you extract the folder scarab was in?
Where did you purchase hollow knight from
gog
Did scarab ask you where you installed the game
It asked if hollow knight was installed in the steam path 
You can click change path or whatever on scarab and direct it to the folder containing the hollow knight exe file to fix it
ooohhh
i actually tried to make a steam folder for it xd
ok ima try that
YES
finally
tysmmmm
Did anyone have the problem, where after using Modinstaller, you can't change if windowed or fullscreen and your curser keeps getting on the 2nd screen and you tap out?
Caz, for me my mouse can just slide onto my 2nd monitor while I'm playing and then when I attack, it taps out...
I can't even change the Full screen setting anymore
I got a question about the Randomizer Map S mod. In Fungal Wastes, I have multiple Geo Rock locations which I randomized, but there is nothing at the spot they usually are in. Do the Wall Geo Rocks not work with the randomizer in FUngal Wastes?
guys can anyone help me with ModInstaller? it doesn't recognize the game:/
Where did you get your game?
Is your game in the default location?
They fall to the ground.
steam, yes
Try using the other installer
If that doesn't work, send a screenshot of where your game is installed, including the address bar
I checked beneath the spots marked on the Map, but no shiny pickup was lying there. Do the Wall Geo not randomize?
but scarab gives me crash issues
There's 2 installers for 1432
why is scarab crashing my game?
i have it installed and no mods, but whenever i enable the API the game just doesnt start
The bigger Geo Deposits are empty
I got neither the geo drops, nor an item
it starts, shows a unity crash and closes
If it's all of them then this sounds like it's a very weird bug
Where did you get Hollow Knight
What OS are you on
win10 and gog
Especially weird is, that for the singular Geo Deposit at the Axe Shape, there was a vanilla deposit right next to it
But not the left one
screenshot your title screen
i dont reach it
with api disabled
k. screenshot your gog galaxy
files you mean?
no
they left, tami
Because you not clicking install on debug
What are you actually doing and what is actually happening?
There's not a lot we can help with if we don't know what you've tried
how to use Custom Trial?
read the readme of it
i've launched the game with it installed before

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
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
yeah, that's where your game is
not your saves
your saves are at the file path i circled
i can't find %AppData%
just copy the whole path into your file explorer address bar
or into the run command from win+r
Example: https://imgur.com/a/WjNmgP0
can i just open the global thing with NotePad?
yes
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?
what will what do
changing what the readme says
depends on what you change
if i want i could make you fight a 300 health Gruz Mother?
sure
yeah
and if i ever make a custom enemy would i just have to put the name of said enemy and it would work?
probably not
okay
you'd have to do more than that
