they have different names
what does the readme say
i read it again and it makes more sense now
first wave of my Custom Trial is both Hornets although Hornet Sentinel has lowered health (Both have 400 Health)
second wave is 2 Broken Vessels
can you give yourself geo via the debug mod, or anyother mod on the scarab modder ?
i kinda died with 4k geo and lost my shade
thank you
if i save the custom trial file will it automatically work?
I'm calling my trial: The Trial of Vessels
i'm trying to warp to Deepnest using the BenchWarp Mod and it isn't working even though i've been there before
What are you pressing?
it was red
On the right click "unlock all"
Then you can warp to it
Then you can turn unlock all off again if you want
benchwarp only unlocks benches that you've sat on while the mod was installed. if you've been to deepnest prior to installing the mod, that's why it's red
anyone know how to manually install mods using scarab
i just wanna install a custom skin mod
and idk if its possible
customknight is on scarab
oh i didnt notice that thanks :3
For the debug mod, is there a way other than F1 to get the menu to show up again
F1 doesn't work for me bc that's set to mute on my computer and that overrides any in-game function it could have
anyone have any idea why its not actually installing the mod installer? it gets to 100 then just doesn't progress

Yep
i have it from xbox game pass and i cant find the folder i have it tho
I have mine in the right folder but it says it cant find the game, what is going on with this?
Oh you can’t mod on Xbox
oof

Steam and GoG
oof
Where did you get HK?
Whenever I use dash slash in the redwing mod my dash ability gets completely disabled until I reload the save, can I fix this or do I just not use dash slash? I really want to use it since it is cool.
nee some help wth hkmp
so for some reason i cant see my friends skins and they cant see mine
hello?
does anyone know if there is a mod for having a button in game that says "restart battle" I want to try some radiant bosses and it is really annoying to keep getting kicked back to hall of gods
so, I downloaded the "grassy knight" mod but didn't really liked it so I deleted it but it still shows on the files, what do I have to do?
un install it from the mod installer
that's what I did but it still shows
read the readme
Can someone help me with the point mod?
For some reason when I enabled it it wouldn’t work?
read the readme
so i messaged about this a day or so ago... i'm on 1.4.3.2 using mods (custom knight, QoL, randomizer 3 + randomizer map mod), every time i sit down to play for the first time in a day it crashes any time i walk through transitions. I can usually fix this by just verifying files and re-downloading mods but I have to do it like 7 times before the game will stop crashing. can anyone help me with this?
try disabling randomizer map mod and see i that solves it
ah okay that seemed to have worked
it was the randomizer map S mod, the new one apparently
is there no way for me to have a randomizer map then?
Screenshot your title screen
this is after I removed the randomizer map S mod
I can reinstall and take a screenshot as well so you can see that
well now it's working again, not sure why it works sometimes and not all the time
Which Mod allows you to redo PoP?
QoL
How do I do it though?
my game no start
that suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
what is the problem?
?pins To play Rando:
First read the third pinned message and downpatch to 1432.
Second download mod installer 1 or 2 from the first pinned message.
Extract the installer you downloaded to your desktop, then open it.
Download the following mods:
Randomiser 3
QoL
Benchwarp
Randomiser Map S
Serecore
Mod Common
Vasi
Once you do this simply start a new game and you'll be playing Rando. Do not open an old save with Rando installed. Do not open a Rando save without it installed.
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
You can get QoL from Scarab, which is in the pinned messages.
I literally have no mods on rn and when i press b I wouldn’t switch to gun
And for some reason textures are missing
that was to the randomizer person 
This sounds like your download didn't complete
how do you add a mod to scarb
is there a mod that can let you summon enemies?
I got hollow knight for GoG and it won't let me down patch lower than 1.4.3.2 does anyone know how to get version 1.2.2.1
does the modifier work for gog version or do I need an older version
it works for gog.
When I try it can't find the application
Even though I go to hollow knights folder
Help how do i cast spells on tge hollow point mod
What do I do if the installer says "The installer requires the most resent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again"
?pins you have a mod installer for ver 1.4.3.2 but have ver 1.5.x.x you can either get the mod installer for 1.5 or revert to 1.4.3.2 but not both at the same time. instructions for both are in the first pinned message

has anyone else had the issue where the hollow point mod disabled healing
That's part of the mod, yes
i want to change it and get rid of the mod but it still doesn’t let me heal
does anyone have the issue of them not able to turn on cheats in debugmod?
sorry if i wanted to be able to easily switch between a modded 1.4 game and an unmodded 1.5 how would i do that? would i want to copy the 1.5 to another folder somewhere and then downpatch to 1.4, and then get a 1.4 mod installer?
and do i have to worry about the downpatch affecting both the copy and the original file?
or i guess is it possible to copy the folder after setting up 1.4.3.2 and then set the game back to 1.5 through steam, verify files and be on my merry way?
do mods work on a cracked version or no lol
No
what you can do is if you made progress on a crack get the actual game and your save data for the crack will still work
thats what i did lol
just wait till another steam sale, or go on gog where its on sale now @cold jacinth
the reason why I have a cracked version is because the steam version won't work lol
Huh 👀 what you mean?
This fix is in the pins
it's not the mods it's my pc
And you verified integrity of game files?
how install daughter of hallownest skin (like where is the images I can’t find them)

Hey does anybody know if there is a saving system mod on hollowknight ?
I'm trying really hard to find one
save state?
do you know how i can get it ?
I think its in the debug mod but not entirely sure
is there a website i go to ?
just click on the pin in the top right of discord and look for the mod installer for 1.5 then download and run it
you should be able to launch it and then download the debug mod
does anyone know how to increase the game's resolution past 1920x1080? I just got a 2560x1440 monitor and the game doesn't seem to go up to that resolution.
Yep
im having a tough time getting mods to work, after a bunch of reinstalling i've got to the point where hollow knight launchs 1.4.3.2 on mac without any issues, i've also installed modinstaller 2 and selected mods, and the game still launchs but the mod isn't loaded. Using mac after catalina, if that effects anything, i've gone through a bunch of the debugging stuff in this channel but nothing seems to be working, if anyone could help that'd be great

Once you do this simply start a new game and you'll be playing Rando. Do not open an old save with Rando installed. Do not open a Rando save without it installed.

Pinging you for my response above.
ok thanks :)
room rando only works in previous patch ?
See above
1.5 doesnt have rando yet 
i added a skin, but i dont see the popout for the skins
as you can see the files are there, but i dont get why it doesnt wanna work
this is what i see ingame
In the 1.5 version of CustomKnight skin stuff was moved to the CustomKnight menu in the Mods menu
You click on the Mods menu, then click on the CustomKnight menu
The Mods menu was shown in that screenshot
ok i have a problem, im going to go through everything i did with mods: i installed scarab to do multiplayer with a friend, then i installed modinstaller 1 after having disbled all mods on scarab, and it worked perfectly, i played on modinstaller 1 for a while, then had to uninstall steam for some reason, after i reinstalled steam and hollow knight, and it worked fine i just had to reinstall all the mods i had, but it worked and i could play my rando, but when i started hk the next day (with mods) after having closed the game, it wouldent show the modding api, the save files wouldent load, and when i went in the mod settings there was nothing there and i couldent leave the mod settings because pressing back or esc didint do anything so i had to close hollow knight, then i just uninstalled hollow knight, all the mods i had, and all the the modinstallers i had. and then reinstalled hollow knight and played and i worked like hollow knight without mods, then i tried installing mods and it just did the same thing as before. idk what is happening but if someone knows could you help me?

This channel…
100% sure it does
yes
"infinite charm notches"
You can change the cost of charms using More Saves on 1.5. If you're on 1.4 you'll need to go through the save editing process.
You can randomise the cost of them using Randomiser 3.
Okey thank you guys!!

Also is there a mod installer for 1.2.2.1?
no
Nope

Head to #speedrunning and check the pinned message
There's a server with all the resources you need. The Modding API, and a bunch of mods

Well I have the modding api and the debug mod but the debug mod just keeps saying failed to load and check mod txt but there’s no text file I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the debug mod and also the modding api but it still just says failed to load, any suggestions?
did you get the 1221 version of debug
Is there a mod which allows you to switch grimmchild with carefree melody?
just banish the grimm troupe
debug mod or save editing
can you spawn enemies with debug?
no
another mod then
ok
I wanna fight nkg
You can fight NKG in Godhome FYI
Wait WHAT YES
anyone know how to fix controller not working when using mods?
what controller
ps4
are you on windows
yes
try using ds4windows
do i really have to do that? my controller works when i play unmodded
i dont know if it is because im playing modded, but it might be
the modding api messes with controller handling sometimes, especially with non-xinput
ds4windows will probably help
or using a program like joy2key to map to keyboard inputs
it might not be working because im using a wireless adapter
so I have two different folder with two different hollow knight, this was made for have one hollow knight with some mod and another one with some other (like in one i use debug mod, in the other I don't use it but I use the hat mod). I'm using scarab as the api, but I have a little problem, every time I switch on the scarab application from one path (the first folder with the first hollow knight) to the second (with the second hollow knight) the scarab application doesn't recognize the mod that I already installed, is there a way to fix it? (sorry for the bad english)
close and open scarab after changing path
it already force me to do it, but when I reopen it, it doesn't recognize the mod anyway
did you manually check the files to be sure the mods are actually there
yes, the mod are there, and in the game I can use it, it's just that scarab doesn't recognize them after changing path
I don't know why
what patch is the game
screenshot the two hollow knight folders
emh what?
this is a question that I can't answer....
I don't have the money now, I'm gona buy when I have it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
come back when you have a legitimate copy
you will receive no further help here
ok thanks
Hi, I wanted to use the randomizer on current patch but it's not on scarab. How do I get the github version to work?
you dont
it's not on scarab for a reason
you'll have to downpatch to 1432 if you want randomizer
Damn, had no idea. Thanks
what does the error actually say
PSA: Hollow Knight is currently 50% off on GoG, for those that need a copy that works with Modding.
- What game version are you on?
- Do you have the required dependency mod? (ModCommon for 1432; Satchel for 1.5)
You can check your mods at the top-left of the screen - Are you using Hollow Point (gun mod)?
You may need to post a screenshot of your skin that's not working, including the directory bar at the top and the image files in the screenshot
wdym "isn't working", elaborate
And did you try selecting a skin in the pause menu of the file that your playing?
You pause > Options > Mod Options > Custom Knight
_ _
It changed in 1.5 from how it was in 1432, because of newer modding menus.
So if you were watching a video of someone playing the older version, then you were probably looking for something else.
It actually tells you that when you first pause, but somehow people miss it 
it should really stay there until you hit ok
Can someone help me? Everytime that I try to install a mod by ModInstaller, when I open hk, all the game resets and my saves just delete and never load

do we need 1.5 or we can make it work with 1.4?
how do you play modded bosses? I have the installer and that but dont really know how
the one with the place mod correctly file
you just install and run the game
I did that

But where do I play it
if you have no other mods installed, the fix mod won't run
oh ok
so use another method
that depends on what boss mods you have

my friend just downloaded hollow knight modinstaller 2 and when he tries to open the game a error appears for like half a second and then the game crashes
can anyone help fix
his game is on v1.5, needs to downpatch, see pins
im also having this problem, but doesnt customknight work on 1.5 now?
im following fires guide
any ideas on how i can iget 1.15 work multi? or is it even possible?
the mod installer says i needed the most recent version of the game and i should have it
but
it still says that
so I'm having trouble with MultiWorld and QoL
I can send my errors if necessary?
lol im tryna get the installer itself to work but for some reason it says i dont have newest version
screenshot title screen
kk
check the pins is cool but theres so many messages there is there an approximate date i can look for
the 1st and 3rd pins
your game patch doesn't match the installer you're using
vasi is missing
i downloaded the installer from one of the first pins
qol would be working if vasi was enabled
uhhh'
all signs point to vasi not there/working
you also need randomizer 3 for multiworld
you should also check in your mods folder and make sure you don't have an extra zip or something
cuz you have qol saying failed to load, and one that loads

Download Scarab from the pins, it's on there
I think that already exists but for the hat mod
So the mod for Glass soul is preloaded onto scarab?
Yep, and the installers and this server are like the only place the reputable devs post their mods
ok guys, i need help. im on mac and I want to install a mod that is not on modinstaller. how do i do this?
i also have a question, just used scarab on mac. application opened for like a millisecond and then nothing happened. did anything happen or did something go wrong
1.4 or 1.5?
im on 1.4.3.2 right now
Make sure scarab isn't in a zipped file
nope it's out of the zip
If you're using mod installer 2, press "Open Mods" in the bottom left, and then just drag the mods dll file in the folder that opens
Make sure you have a mod for 1.4 and make sure you have all the mods it may require
you're using an earlier version of mi2 then
k, will try redownloadin
get it from the pins
Did it generate a "Mod installer error" txt?
nope
just the application displayed on my taskbar for a tiny amount of time and nothing happened
hm i'm not sure
When I download a mod does it go straight into the hollow knight files or do I need to move it there
thanks for helping me man!!
if you download it using the installer then it'll do everything for you
if you use modinstaller and click install on a mod it automatically moves it to the folders
Ok
it shouldn't be open in the first place
don't install mods or mess with any game files while the game is open

could I ask for some help with modinstaller?
I believe I interrupted it by accident while it was installing mono (I'm on MacOS) and it now instantly quits each time I attempt to open it.
Also unable to start the main game.
This also happens with Scarab, so I suspect I've borked mono somehow
You shouldn't need mono for Scarab or Mod Installer 2. They both have MacOS versions
In that case, any suggestions as to what's causing both MI 2 and Scarab to crash? They don't even get to open.

the installer
ok
im confused
the api shoudl automatically get installed when you run the installer for the first time
you run the installer, you installer randomizer
oh ok
cool
my game isnt running with the api on after i verified file integrity
so i thought i must not have it
verifying the game files makes it go back to vanilla
how do i un vanilla it
the api shoudl automatically get installed when you run the installer

Hey I'm kind of new to modding hk, and i was wondering something quq. I already have some mods downloaded through Scarab for ver 1.5, but i was wondering if these mods would clash if i started downloading some from ModInstaller to get some 1.4.3.2 mods
if you've already downpatched, your 1.5 mods are gone and you can use the 1.4.3.2 installers as normal
alrighty! thank you
Hey, I'm completely new to modding in general, but I've managed to get the 1.4.3.2 installer working. Just one question... How do I reopen it? I can't seem to find it and I didn't check what it was called before I closed it.
It's called "ModInstaller" and it's wherever you put it 
Cool, thanks!
||Most people download things to their "Downloads" folder. It's typically recommended to move it to your Desktop though.||
Yeah, just downloaded a few things all at once and it got lost. Reorganised myself so I know where I'm looking now lol
If I played hollow knight on version 1.5 and wanna go back to 1.4.3.2 do I need to delete some files for the mod installer to work?
no,just downgrade it
also why would you want to go back?
randomizer
yea I did it
then install the1.4.3.2 installer
I've already done that
the installation files are correct
but
umm
something doesn't want to work
what is it?
do they work when you enter a game?
nope
I'll give it a try
Are there PvP servers in the multiplayer Mod?
Screenshot your installer and your HK main menu
also for some reason when I open the game benchwarp gets uninstalled
in case you wanted here's also the folder itself
disabled is empty
Where did this two mono. files come from?
no idea
Delete mod console and both of those
I did it earlier
Then head to your saves folder and delete anything that ends in .globalsettings.json.
Where abouts is your mod installer on your computer?
on my desktop
Close it, then try right clicking and selecting run as administrator
Then try downloading Benchwarp
bruh now it doesn't detect the game files
Sounds like you have two installs TBH
huh?
Where are you opening hollow knight from?
how could that happen?
In your Steam library?
you mean like where the file is?
yea
from steam
previously the files were correct
Right click it -> properties > local files > browse
I did it last time
Check that file path, then where your mods folder is check that it matches
Just worth double checking since your down patch is all
everything seems fine
Try using mod installer 2 instead.
oh
my modding api was out of date
well now it works
thank you very much
you guys are doing amazing work helping out everyone and no wanting anything in exchange
Who says I don't??? 👀
hey anybody how do ii host on multiplayer scrab
It's the Bingo UI that gives you the Geo Spent HUD right?
If I revert to 1.4.3.2 from steam, and play with randomizer
My save file doesn't change right?
What happens if I open my run that I have already played with randomizer?
Don't I say. Make a back up.
I did but I'm still scared lul
Normal files if you don't open them are fine.
Great, tyyy
NP
But always back up, especially downpatching, as I might be wrong.
Also I never remember this, but the hotkeys for fullscreen?
Someone did give me a combo once. Ah well, I'll just revert back to unmodded first and then reinstall once I get fullscreen back.
Yes
Alt + Enter
Thank you so much.
Hey guys, can someone help me out, i am trying to play the multiplayer mod on v1.4.3.2 with someone on a local network, but the start server button isnt in the pause menu, how do i start the local server?
nevermind, it just worked
now the problem is that the other person does not move in my world, and i dont move in their world
hi there is a mod can i use for give charm
Individual charms: Edit your save using More Saves.
All charms: Debug mod
Have you downpatched or not?
downpatched?
Let's call that a no
Get the More Saves mod, then head to the More Saves options in game and you can edit various values, including whether or not you have a charm.
See here for the charm numbers

Okay so you did downpatch then
Head to your saves folder, and find "userX.json" where X is the save file slot
Open that file
where is the save folder

In a completely different place
Ah, sorry. On 1.4 you need QoL mod, not more saves
get QoL, open the save you want to edit, close your game then check this folder again
ok
verified integrity of game files and now no mods work (unsurprisingly)
theyre all still installed and in my hollow knight folders though
how do i make them work again?
scarab
Open it and in the bottom left there should be an "Enable API" or "Enable Mods" button
custom knight isnt working anymore so im trying to restart things
how do i use scarab?
Download it
Extract it
Open it
What isn't working about it?
where do i go?
hold on lemme show you
This is source code
ah
Head to your saves folder and delete customknight.globalsettings.json
I have similar question, do we need to transfer any files for scarab to work? as its not working me
i still can't find
how do i get to the saves folder?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot but as someone who hasn’t modded hk how does it work? Isnt it a steam game?
What mods do you have installed and enabled at the moment?
?pins Download Scarab
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
You should just download it, extract it, then open it. What about it isn't working?
You'll also need Vasi for QoL to work
ooooooh ok
Non of the mods worked in game, i used benchwarp and hall of pantheon+ but it didn't work
So your Scarab works the mods just aren't showing in game?
Yeah, they aren't working ingame
Screenshot your Hollow Knight main menu
its not here
That’s the game files folder….
You were told to go to save files not game files
well how do i get to save files?
The bot message TamiJo gave you
That’s one way
still don't find :/
You can’t find Vasi on the mods list?
no but this is enable on the mod installer
What problem are you having?
i want to give charm to my game
By using Qol?
yes Qol and Vasi
Then what’s the problem you’re having with those
So you have:
Closed HK
Downloaded QoL mod
Downloaded Vasi
Opened your save file you want to edit
Closed everything
Gone back to your saves folder...
Why are you using both?
yes but i don't find my save file
Can you screenshot the folder?
I used scarab at first, it didn't work thats why i tried modinstaller and it worked, it just doesn't have hall of pantheon+ mod, thats why i want scarab to work
Autocorrect why, I’ve literally never typed that
Each of those is for a different patch
You can't just use them both
What patch, scarab is for?
It's right there
where?
My game was 1.5 before i installed beta version for modinstaller
So it is no longer 1.5
Then you can revert by doing the same steps but using the None beta
So Scarab won't work for your patch
Yeah but my point is i used scarab at first while it was 1.5 but the mods didn't work ingame thats why i had to turn to modinstaller and install beta version
So do you want help making mods work on 1.5?
Yeah, unless both support same mods and i can manually install hall of pantheon+ mod on modinstaller
Then yeah, i need help to make mods work in 1.5
The main mods that are not available on 1.5 are randomisers. Are you playing those?
I didn't try those, i only tried like 4 mods and they didn't work
No
Okay, first put your game back to the current patch
Then open your game and confirm it is the correct patch
How to revert to 1.5 if you need help
i want to get fragile strenght to unbreakable strenght did i turn true?
its stuck on starting download for now , so what steps should i follow once its done ?
downloading now
Anyone know if modding is the same on steam and game pass instances?
Should be yeah
Download and extract scarab
Game Pass cannot be modded
aw, rip
guess ill actually have to buy the game lmao
anywhere or it needs to be in hollow folder ?
Desktop is ideal
then its already done from last time
Okay open it
On the bottom left it should say "enable api" or "enable mods"
(Click it)
its enabled , its saying disable api
Open HK. Is there a bow of spaghetti above the patch number?
Hey, I have problem. I have tried installing modinstaller 1 & 2 multiple times and downgraded the game, but when I try to open Hollow knight with mods, sometimes theres no music and it's vanilla. Any help?
no, should I?
Worth checking to make sure it works before assuming it's a mod issue?
ok ill try (and sorry if my english is weird, my main language is not english)
ok 1.4.3.2 vanilla works
Okay, open mod installer 2 and uninstall all mods
When did you get this?
just now
That's very descriptive
the modinstaller closed and i got it to my folder
Guys first i'm sorry for my England. I need help, i'm having issue with modinstaller it says i don't own the game but i do and yes i played the game with cracked version before i bought. Anyway when i try to install the game it says finding owned files (that could be wrong i just translate it with my bad English :ı ) when i open the game there are my old save files when i was playin with cracked version. Btw i deleted cracked version and tried to download again it's same
i tried installing more mods and now it works
thank you for your time and trying to help
if its on steam , did you try verify integrity of game files ?
so many times
Which installer are you using?
Send a screenshot of your installer and your HK main menu
ok
are most "good" mods on 1432 or do they support current patch
The only mods that haven't been updated to 1.5 are randomiser mods
Close Hollow Knight
Click the orange "out of date" box. Once it is finished download open Hollow Knight and see if the words "Modding-API" appear in the top left corner
modinstaller1
Use the correct installer for your patch (scarab)
You are using the wrong installer, as above, use scarab
Does your mod installer still say "out of date" next to Modding API?
@limber egret no
modinstaller 2?
You have no mods installed at all? (Check the installed tab on the mod installer to make sure.)
@limber egret No, I don't have any mods

oke i look
Install a single mod and then see if anything appears

@limber egret It didn't do anything.

Should be good to go
ok thank you so much!
How do I activate the Randomizer mod?
I have it in the mods folder inside a folder called RandomizerMod3.0
you downpatch to 1432 and use a 1432 installer
oh okay so there is no randomizer for latest patch
This is ModInstaller I downpatched and it worked but I closed it, after reopening it gave this warning
fixed it by downloading modinstaller 2
my mod installer says unable to locate game files but i have the game open what do i do
- Close your game
- You are likely using the wrong installer for your patch
You cannot use the mod installer with your game open
The most recent installer is called scarab
ok im installing it
is it this page https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab ?
Yes
sorry for being a noob at computers but how do i install this
Do you see a few links that say Windows/Mac/Linux?
Click the one that matches your computer
Yes
thnks i think i did it but still i don't know how to use mods :D
What did you do?
what do i do after extracting?
Open it
hey, i downloaded killer whale skin and it isnt working, all my other skins works just fine so i dont get why this one dont, can someone help me?
it worked thx!
Look in the folder and make sure its structure matches your other skins. It likely doesn't as killer whale comes with a bunch of extra files
how i use skins in it
- Download Custom Knight
- Download a skin (you can find them in the pinned messages)
- Extract the skins into your skins folder (in your hollow knight game files)
i extract the google drive into skin folder?
when using the tiny hornet skin the hud changed to the Christmas version any idea why and how to fix this?
i extract the google drive in skins folder?
There's skins in the Google drive you can download. Extract those into your skins folder
Open your hornet skin folder and you can either delete the HUD to use the default or change it for one you want to use instead.
ty!
oh i see, tysm.
i need help where do i install custom knight?
you need to download ModInstaller, open it, and there you can install customKnight. i believe it is in this channel's pinned messages.
It worked. I forgot to tell you, Thank you!
i have scarab
Did you click install in scarab?
i clicked install in scarab i think it worked
Okay so you want to know where to put the skins?
Is there a specific reason as to 1.2.2.1 is the most commonly used patch/will the pinned installers be able to support it?
yes
1221 isn't the most commonly used modding patch
Thats what im seeing on speedrun.com but im VERY new to the whole speedrunning thing
It's used in speedruns because of speedrun specific things. It has nothing to do with modding.
^
If you want to mod, you should be on the most recent patch, unless you want to use Randomiser, in which case you need to be on patch 1432
In the bottom left of scarab there should be a "open mods" button or something. Click that.
ohh ok. Thank you
im confused how do i activate custom knight?
- Put the skin you have downloaded into your skins folder
- In game press pause -> options -> mods
why are my keyboard controls reset to default every time i load the game with mods?
They shouldn't be. Are you using a mouse for an input?
nope, im using default controls with the only difference being i replaced the button for mothwing cloak to Lshift
I just told you
just use skins?
...
ok
Yes you need skins to switch to
Yes
Into your skins folder.
You can look at the default skin to see what your file structure should look like
how do i open the game files?
.
the hollow knight game files
bruh
