#

Imma just block you lol

umbral sky
#

what why

#

great i did it

proven olive
#

hello, will a room and item randomizer will be added to the scarab mod installer ?

limber egret
#

It will be. No idea how long

proven olive
#

ok thx 🙂

#

if i dont want to wait, the only option is to set HK back to a previos patch and us another mod sintaller or?

umbral sky
#

i did it now i open the file

real jacinth
#

doesn't take long to do, so may as well

umbral sky
#

i think i did it

crimson lynx
#

Hey y'all. My friend and i were using the hollow knight multiplayer mod and was wondering why we couldn't see each other's custom knight skins

#

Does anyone know anything about how to fix it?

limber egret
#

If you're using the regular multiplayer client/server mods then you cannot

#

If you were using HKMP then you can. There should be a link to the multiplayer server in the pins where you can get more help with that specific mod.

real jacinth
#

and skins must be used through hkmp, not using customknight

crimson lynx
#

Ohhhh

#

Okay, that makes so much sense, thank you!

umbral sky
#

hey tami jo i have everything into the folder but the open mods isnt working

limber egret
#

If it's in the folder you don't need to click that now

umbral sky
#

hm ok

limber egret
#

Just open your game

umbral sky
#

ok

#

what button i press to change skin

limber egret
#

Options

pliant lantern

:this:

limber egret
#

In case anybody was wondering blocking people on discord does nothing

real jacinth
#

just shows an annoying bar across the screen

pliant lantern
#

It depends on your definition of nothing lol

real jacinth
#

it's almost worse

limber egret
#

It's definitely worse

umbral sky
#

what do i do in options?

pliant lantern
#

It prevents pings from pinging

pliant lantern
real jacinth
#

must be Friday. reading comprehension at an all time low

limber egret
umbral sky
#

this time it will work

real jacinth
pliant lantern
# pliant lantern It prevents pings from *pinging*

I've become more liberal with blocking people here recently, in that if someone reply-pings me more than once while I'm actively here, I'm just blocking them.

I figure I can see the messages if I want to, but I don't want the pings every 30 seconds when I'm checking the support channels of multiple servers lol

umbral sky
#

oh god

real jacinth
#

is there no +1 reaction?

umbral sky
#

what am i doing wrong now

real jacinth
pliant lantern
umbral sky
#

what is satchel

real jacinth
#

probably one of the suggested things in the drive pinned message

#

this

pliant lantern
#

For 1.5 you need Custom Knight and Satchel. Satchel should automatically install when you got custom Knight.

I asked because "oh God" usually means that something wentterribly wrong, and that can be a cause

real jacinth
#

pc exploded

umbral sky
#

i just need to put evrything in folder and activate custom knight?

#

my custom knight isnt enabling

real jacinth
#

unfortunate

umbral sky
#

imma restart my computer

#

bruh how do i enable custom knight on scarab?

real jacinth
#

you click the install box

umbral sky
#

there is 2 boxes enabled? and instaled?

#

what do i do

umbral sky
#

look there are 2 things

#

enabled?

#

and

#

installed?

#

what do i do

real jacinth
proven olive
#

so, i have set my HK in steam to 1.4.3.2 ( it says 32- bits compatible does this mean anything important?) and i have downloaded the modinstaller 2, but there it says modding api out of date, how do i fix this?

real jacinth
#

umbral sky

umbral sky
#

real jacinth
umbral sky
#

where i get satchel for scarab

umbral sky
#

ok nob

real jacinth
#

scarab has a list of mods

#

satchel is in that list

#

under S

#

for satchel

umbral sky
#

ok

#

i cant enable satchel

real jacinth
#

unfortunate

#

is your game open

#

are all the scarab files on your desktop?

#

you have to provide some actual info

#

instead of saying "it's not working" over and over

umbral sky
#

my game is open and all the scarab files are on my desktop

real jacinth
#

you can't mod your game when it's running

#

close it

#

that's like changing a tire while the car is driving

#

doesn't work

umbral sky
#

i think its a file

real jacinth
#

what a useful sentence

umbral sky
#

i have the files clrcompression clrjit coreclr libHarpBuzzSharp mscordacore Scarab and Scarab.pdf

#

that may not be useful

pliant lantern
#

Scarab comes in a folder

real jacinth
#

close your game

#

run scarab

#

install mods

#

ezpz

umbral sky
#

its closed bruh

real jacinth
umbral sky
#

i closed it alredy

real jacinth
#

so then do the next steps

pliant lantern
# pliant lantern Scarab comes in a folder

That folder should be on your desktop.
The only thing you need to run in that folder, is Scarab.Exe

The other files are what let's Scarab work. Your just ignore them.

umbral sky
#

i cant click the enabled button

real jacinth
#

click install

#

not enable

umbral sky
#

i clicked it and it closed scarab that means it worked?

real jacinth
#

no

umbral sky
#

bruh

real jacinth
#

bruh

umbral sky
#

what does my scarab have

#

ok i desist im gonna need to downgrade

limber egret
#

That's going to cause more problems than it solves

umbral sky
#

ok but i dont know whats wrong when i click to install it closes scarab

real jacinth
#

neither do we. cuz you're not saying anything of use

#

and not providing any screenshots

#

or really helping in any regard

umbral sky
#

ok i will send a video of what happens

past bramble
#

I am using the randomizer and i only get one geo for one geo is that because i checked the cursed thingy or am I missing a mod?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

cursed makes all non-essentials 1 geo

past bramble
#

ah

#

time to turn it off

pliant lantern
# umbral sky ok but i dont know whats wrong when i click to install it closes scarab
umbral sky
#

umbral sky

real jacinth
#

umbral sky
#

#

real jacinth
#

right click -> manage installation -> verify/repair

serene estuary
#

Hey guys I downloaded a mod app for HK and my game can't launch

real jacinth
#

the one you downloaded doesn't match your install

#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
umbral sky
#

i think im installing the wrong scarab

real jacinth
#

umbral sky
#

real jacinth
umbral sky
#

#

BRO WTF AM I DOING WRONG NOW I DID EVERYTHING

real jacinth
#

screenshot your title screen

umbral sky
#

the game title screen?

real jacinth
#

yes

umbral sky
#

there look at it

#

does it exist another mod installer for 1.5

#

bruh

pliant lantern
#

Your modding API isn't currently enabled, which is one of the things that Scarab will install when you install a mod.

The instructions I gave you should cover all of what to do.

One thing about the gog version, is that Scarab will default to assuming you have the steam version. So after you first open it, it asks "where is hollow knight installed?" And you need to tell it where you have it installed

umbral sky
#

ok

pliant lantern
#

Your should be able to change this if you accidentally selected the wrong folder

#

At the bottom-left, click "change install location" or whatever is called

umbral sky
#

im very tired

pliant lantern
#

This will take you to the folder that you need to point Scarab to

umbral sky
#

okay so what do i do in that file

fair marsh
#

I’m on scarab download do i download the source code or just the windows zip since I’m playing on windows

past bramble
#

just the windows zip

#

source code is for developers

fair marsh
#

Ah ok

#

I downloaded the windows zip and extracted it, what do I do from there?

past bramble
#

start the exe

umbral sky
#

im in pain

fair marsh
#

Then I just enable the mods I want and boot up the game right?

umbral sky
#

please help it says the folder is invalid

#

i just wanted to change the appearance of my knight

#

ok ill not play with skins

#

desisted

real jacinth
#

What folder did you select

umbral sky
#

Hollow Knight Data

real jacinth
#

That's erong

#

Wrong*

#

Select the one a level up

umbral sky
#

which should i choose?

real jacinth
#

That contains the data folder

#

"hollow knight"

#

You selected one folder too deep

umbral sky
#

it also says invalid

umbral sky
#

please help i just wanted to get skin

past bramble
#

how does one use player data tracker I cant find a readme file

umbral sky
#

imma try tommorow

real jacinth
#

Screenshot what you're selecting

real jacinth
past bramble
#

yeah i know but I mean how to use it

#

I didnt find a readme file that tells you how to connect it with obs

real jacinth
#

You pull up the webpage it exports data to

#

And add that as a source in obs

#

This one

umbral sky
#

im back

#

im gonna do it now

#

im with more patient

#

these are the files which are not working hollow_knight_Data and Hollow Knight Data

#

and scarab asks for them

real jacinth
#

no it doesn't

#

it asks for the folder that CONTAINS them

#

Hollow Knight

#

one level up

umbral sky
#

k

#

that is what happens

real jacinth
#

delete your game files and reinstall with galaxy

#

you shouldn't have two data folders in the first place

umbral sky
#

so your asking me to delete the game?

real jacinth
#

and reinstall, yes

umbral sky
#

ok

#

thx for being so helpful and trying ur best man

radiant latch
#

how can i find the mod installer?

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
radiant latch
#

i already have it installed

#

but i can't find it

umbral sky
#

ok reinstalled it

real jacinth
#

then it's wherever you put it

radiant latch
#

it isn't in any hk folders

real jacinth
#

the game is 9 GB, there's no way you uninstalled and reinstalled

real jacinth
radiant latch
#

it's not

real jacinth
#

so you didn't move the exe anywhere?

#

but it's not in downloads?

#

🤔

umbral sky
#

installed it

real jacinth
#

so look in the game files now and check to be sure there's only 1 data folder

#

then tell scarab where your hollow knight folder is that you just installed

radiant latch
real jacinth
#

i don't know what you downloaded

umbral sky
#

its working

real jacinth
#

but it'll be modinstaller or similar

fresh horizon
#

i have tried to download the latest mod installer for windows, but after i download it it says that i am not using a recent update of the game. the problem is i checked on steam and there are no available updates for HK for me.. what do i do?

radiant latch
#

modinstaller.exe?

umbral sky
#

IT WORKED

#

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

real jacinth
#

your installer and game patch don't match

#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
umbral sky
#

thx @real jacinth

fresh horizon
novel bronze
#

how do i find the hollow knight data folder withouth using steam?

umbral sky
#

it worked

fresh horizon
#

and the installer is also for 1.5

real jacinth
#

installer 1 is for 1432

untold hill
#

Which link do i install for the mod loader?

real jacinth
#

and gives that message

umbral sky
#

lets see if it works

real jacinth
dense shuttleBOT
untold hill
#

Ah thank you

umbral sky
#

now i need help

#

how do i add skins?

fresh horizon
#

ok i downloaded the scarab, but now it sends me to a bunch of files and i dont know how to add it to the game

umbral sky
#

because i placed my folder with the skin in skins and it didnt work

fresh horizon
#

i dont know how to operate the scarab one

#

does anyone know how to use the scarab mod installer?

novel bronze
#

wich one is the skin mod? (in the mod installer)

umbral sky
novel bronze
#

thanks

serene estuary
real jacinth
fresh horizon
#

but how do i get to the list of mods

real jacinth
#

run the program

#

there's an exe in the files you downloaded

#

run it

quartz sandal
#

Where can I find mod descriptions (what they do)

real jacinth
#

?mods

real jacinth
quartz sandal
#

what if I don't find one of the mods I'm looking for? example now, GodSoul

real jacinth
#

if you click the arrow next to the mods in the installer, it gives a short description

shrewd bramble
#

to what version is it recommended to downgrade in order to use the 1.4 ModInstaller?

real jacinth
#

1.4

shrewd bramble
#

but what version precisely because I tried the download command I found on the speedrun.com guide for 1.4.2.4 but the steam console says there's no manifest available

real jacinth
#

select it in steam betas

shrewd bramble
#

OHHHH, thx

mossy smelt
#

why do you want to use 1.4.2.4 specifically?

shrewd bramble
#

because the modinstaller was telling me to use the most recent stable version, and in the speedrun.com guide that was the most recent one I could find... I'm completely new to modding HK, i've got no clue what the hell i'm doing XD

mossy smelt
#

you probably want to use scarab

#

unless you want to do a randomizer

shrewd bramble
mossy smelt
#

then yeah, 1.4.3.2

shrewd bramble
#

but using this beta thing keeps reinstalling my game, is there a way to get the normal version AND this beta?

lethal notch
#

Which version is best for the multiplayer mod? (Sorry to interrupt btw)

real jacinth
#

the beta thing overwrites your main game branch

#

changes it to 1432

#

if you want both patches, follow the multiple installed patches paragraph of the speedrun.com downpatching guide

#

and just copy your game files to another location after the beta finished downloading

#

then change back to "none"

mossy smelt
shrewd bramble
#

ohhh, yeah that makes sense actually, so just:
download beta
move gamefiles elsewhere
download normal version again
add moved beta as a nonsteam game?

mossy smelt
#

0.7.2 I think for 1.4.3.2, most recent for 1.5

shrewd bramble
#

aight, thx

lethal notch
real jacinth
#

and don't forget the special instructions from the downpatching guide

#

you need some extra steps

wispy mortar
#

hello can someone help me download the weapons mod

#

for current patch

real jacinth
#

get scarab

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
shrewd bramble
#

huh, I feel like i've done something wrong... @real jacinth , i did the steps, and now when I try to run it, it says HK (original) is running for a short moment, but then it stops again, an nothing happens...

real jacinth
#

did you add the steam_appid file?

#

did you add any mods?

#

I've no clue what you've actually done

shrewd bramble
#

srry, yeah i did already try to add randomizer 3, and I added the appid of 367520

real jacinth
#

did you add the modding api? which installer are you using?

#

is it pointing to the right location? and not your main branch install?

shrewd bramble
#

yeah I pointed it to my own beta thing that I moved elsewhere

real jacinth
#

screenshot where you put the beta files, the folder with the exe

shrewd bramble
real jacinth
#

looks like it was installing things in the right spot. how long did you wait when you changed to the beta before copying the files? and did you try to run that copy before you copied them?

#

my guess is it wasn't done downpatching and you copied the files

shrewd bramble
#

i think I waited long enough, it was done with everything, I'm uninstalling the mods again to see if its even able to run

real jacinth
#

the downloads progress in steam would have completed

#

it tends to get stuck at 100% for awhile while the disk does some stuff

shrewd bramble
#

yeah it doens't run without mods either, imma try reinstalling the beta

real jacinth
#

yeah. and try running the game before you copy the files over.

#

if it still doesn't work after trying again, lemme know

quartz sandal
#

So I putted some mods, and I can't heal, I know there is a big chance that its a mod doing that, but I just wanted to verify by any chance, maybe some mod combination, if there's no help for me, don't mind I'll just keep playing without healing
The mod I have on are:

  • God Soul (which may be the cause, it makes hk alot harder so maybe removed healing but I don't know, if someone knows tell me pls)
  • Golden Godhome
  • Infinite Notches
  • MoreSaves
  • SFCore
real jacinth
#

did you install hollow point ever

#

if not, sounds like something a difficulty mod would add. makes it like dark souls, only heal at bench (god soul)

#

kinda thing

wispy mortar
#

what do i do after scarab

real jacinth
#

run it

wispy mortar
#

did

real jacinth
#

and install the mods you want

#

then run the game

wispy mortar
#

how do i get the mods

real jacinth
#

click the install box

wispy mortar
#

i did

real jacinth
#

then you have the mods

wispy mortar
#

it didnt work

real jacinth
#

what about it didn't work

wispy mortar
#

i clicked install and enable

real jacinth
#

don't click enable

wispy mortar
#

but it didnt work

#

oh ok

real jacinth
#

enable will auto check when the mod finishes downloading

wispy mortar
#

its has a check mark

quartz sandal
# real jacinth did you install hollow point ever

I did a long time ago, in downpatched version, and then stopped playing with mods, went back to unmodded 1.5, was able to heal and came back to modded with 1.5
but yes probably a mod, and if it isn't, just gonna play like that, makes harder for me

#

thx anyways for all the help

real jacinth
#

if you were healing fine in between, then it's probably not the hollow point bug

#

sounds like the god soul mod then

wispy mortar
#

custom knight and point mod is enabled

#

does custom knight break the point mod?

shrewd bramble
real jacinth
#

nice

real jacinth
real jacinth
#

maybe even healing with benches

wispy mortar
#

what sachi and vasi?

real jacinth
#

library mods

#

that other mods use to run

wispy mortar
#

oh

quartz sandal
real jacinth
#

then they are more merciful than I would have been

tame charm
#

I've recently had a problem, where healing takes much too little time (like .3s a mask) and it takes only 1/9 of the soul bar, what mod could be causing this?

real jacinth
#

check the pins for hollow point fix

#

the mod changes your save file

#

so you'll have to edit it

tame charm
#

thanks

ik

real jacinth

did you have any other mods on ever? are you reloading a save after making one?

#

have you tried on an existing save?

#

like, what you have done so far

novel bronze
#

so, in case i want to use mods i need 1.4.3.2 ?

real jacinth
#

if you want mods, you have to buy the game

#

simple as that

lethal notch
real jacinth
#

well that's why

#

hollow point doesn't work on fresh saves

#

like the readme says

and like river told you

exit a save you make, and then go back into it

umm it was customknight, randomizer, benchwarp, Qol, and that's all i can remember

#

yeah the modding api did say out of date

real jacinth
#

click the button next to it to update it

#

and i'm not asking for your memory. if you don't know for sure, or don't have screenshots, guessing is worse

cyan tree
#

ok i updated it

neat viper
#

hay

#

im trying to download hollow point

#

but its not working

limber egret
#

Sad

#

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

#

Instead of just stating it doesn't work

neat viper
#

ok when i start up hollow knight it just does not show up

real jacinth
#

lol

#

"it's not working"

#

but with more words

limber egret
#

What doesn't show up?

#

What are you expecting to see, what have you downloaded, where did you get Hollow Knight, do other mods work?

#

Literally any information

neat viper
#

other mods work

#

the top left corner were the mod list is its not there

limber egret
#

Okay, where did you get Hollow point from? The same place you got the other mods that do work?

neat viper
#

i got it on scarab

#

and its the same place

limber egret
#

Screenshot scarab and your main menu

neat viper
#

just the installed

limber egret
#

Yes that would do

neat viper
tight orbit
#

Ok so I am trying to use the TwitchMod from Scarab, and it keeps saying Unknown in the top left corner? I don't see anything wrong but I havent been able to get it to work yet

real jacinth
neat viper

real jacinth
#

Yea

limber egret
neat viper
#

thanks allot

digital matrix
limber egret
#

You literally asked a question then when given the answer ignored it then?

#

Use the correct installer

digital matrix
#

I didn't ignore it

#

I don't know which installer I got

#

this is the one

#

english isn't my first lenguage so sorry if I don't understand some things

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
digital matrix
#

oh thank you

strong bear
#

I am not sure as to what to do to get the mod istaller

#

I went to the mod installer thing

#

but I don't know what to do now

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
real jacinth
#

Download appropriate installer for your OS and game version. Unzip as needed. Run the program you unzipped

strong bear
#

how I find game version

#

i'm using steam

real jacinth
#

It's the big number on your title screen

#

If you haven't done anything, you probably have 1.5

strong bear
#

heh I'm stupid sry

#

kk

#

yea

#

1.5.17...

limber egret
#

Where did you get Hollow Knight?

#

If it's steam, make sure your game is updated to the most recent version

novel bronze
#

how accessible is it make a customKnight mod? im not very good at these kind of things but i wanted to make a skin

limber egret
#

It's extremely time consuming

#

But if you can draw you have all the skills you need

#

You can use Go Dump to generate individual pngs of each frame of each animation, then use Sprite Packer to put them back together as atlas files.

novel bronze
#

thanks, im watching a vid rn to learn how to make a customKnight mod. just wanted to ask, can spritePacker work with other programs?

real jacinth
#

no

#

and you can't use any installers for 1221

#

what command console thing are you talking about

jovial crane
#

hey i cant install my mods it doesnt run the installer

jovial crane
#

ah

atomic latch
#

i also got an issue

jovial crane
#

hopefully it works

#

i want christmas theme hollowknight

atomic latch
#

im trying to do randomizer and i have the right version but when i open the game the mods just aren't there

atomic latch
jovial crane
#

would look awsome

atomic latch
#

it just wont load the mods and its kinda annoying

jovial crane
#

ill try doing it and let u know

atomic latch
#

aight

shy relic
#

atomic latch
#

sweet pivot
#

ok so i have Hollow Knight working on vanilla 1.4.3.2 but when i go to install mods using the modinstaller and launch the game, no mods pop up in the top left corner like they did earlier today and i can't view save files at all

dense shuttleBOT

sweet pivot
#

i don't have a save issue

native ice
#

go to your saves and delete the modding api globalsettings files

sweet pivot
#

ohhhhh thanks

#

ok so i should now be able to run the installer?

#

hmm mods still don't show up in top left

#

do i have to like reset my pc?

native ice
#

which installer?

#

1 or 2?

sweet pivot
#

1

#

i've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game

#

i've also tried using 2

native ice
sweet pivot
#

yeah

#

blank

native ice
#

was the game closed when you deleted the files?

sweet pivot
#

yes

#

the saves come back if i just launch the game after validating it

native ice
#

try deleting them again, and also delete customknight and/or benchwarp globalsettings files, if they're there

sweet pivot
#

and they work

#

ok i'll try uninstalling again ig

native ice
#

no don't uninstall

sweet pivot
#

oh

#

too late

#

i'm also going to try deleting the suggested modinstaller folder in appdata

native ice
#

that won't help, if your save files are blank that usually means mods are installed but that a globalsettings file is broken, resetting the installer won't do anything to fix that

sweet pivot
#

where would i be able to find said file

#

the mods are installed, they just don't pop up in the top left

native ice
#

...

#

they're in your save files

sweet pivot
#

and well the mods button is there

native ice
#

didn't you say you already did it?

sweet pivot
#

oh shoot i was looking in the wrong location

native ice
#

Uh, I'm not really familiar with how those things work

mossy smelt
#

Is hollow knight working on your new drive?

native ice
#

Have you tried changing where steam installs the game to?

mossy smelt
#

You'll need to change scarab's path to point to the new folder

native ice
#

oh, well that's a different problem then what it seemed like...

mossy smelt
#

2tb usb drive?

#

tf

native ice
#

If you just manually moved the mods over, then you probably forgot the modding api

mossy smelt
#

open scarab, hit "change path", select the folder that has hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data inside

sweet pivot
#

got it working thanks @native ice

mossy smelt
#

you're on 1.4.3.2?

native ice
#

Which installer? 1 or ?

#

make sure it's closed while doing so

#

and then afterwards when you run it again it'll prompt you to select a new path

mossy smelt
#

the older mod installers lack so many QoL things zote

native ice
#

Not exactly

#

It has more mods, but many of the mods that are updated to the latest are a bit more updated

#

Mainly you play on 1.4 if you want randomizers

mossy smelt
#

I mean the installers themselves, not the mod availability on them

#

wdym by this?

native ice
#

ah

native ice
mossy smelt
#

for 1.4.3.2, mod installer 2 is the most up-to-date one

native ice
#

^

mossy smelt
#

The biggest reason to be on 1.4.3.2 and not 1.5 is the ability to do randomizers, since that mod hasn't updated

native ice
#

if you want the most updated one, you'll need to update your game to 1.5 and download scarab (mod installer 2 but for 1.5) from the pins

mossy smelt
#

Scarab is for 1.5, mod installer 1 and 2 are for 1.4.3.2

native ice
#

They work on different game versions

#

it can, if you do what I said earlier

mossy smelt
#

use whichever mod installer is appropriate for your version

native ice
#

Doing this allows you to change where the mod installer installs mods to

mossy smelt
#

blank?

native ice
#

did you select the new file path?

mossy smelt
#

You'd need to reinstall the mods

#

or do you mean blank like this

#

if so, try a VPN

native ice
#

then install things?

mossy smelt
#

screenshot the title screen

native ice
#

I'm sorry but you're making it really unclear what you've done, did you select your new game file path on the installer?

mossy smelt
#

screenshot it

#

and send it here

#

the main menu, not the loading screen before the menu

#

but well

#

if you see that, somethings already gone wrong

#

like river said, when you opened mod installer 2 after resetting it it should've asked for a game path

#

did it?

native ice
#

When opening mod installer 2 for the first time it'll ask you something along the lines of "Is this your game installer (file path)?" if you say "No" then it will ask you to select your file path. If it's not asking you this, then you need to reset your installer, reset not reinstall. To reset the installer follow these instructions: #archived-modding-help message

mossy smelt
#

did it say anything about automatically detecting a path?

exotic willow
#

how do I make the equivilant of a resource pack?
like replace sounds/textures in hk

mossy smelt
#

appdata is just %appdata%, your OS's path variable pointing to where your appdata folder is

native ice
#

appdata isn't in any HK folders, it's a folder that's for your pc, if you're on windows you can reach it by pressing Windows + R and type in %appdata%

mossy smelt
#

you definitely didn't delete your whole appdata folder

#

go there and delete HKInstallerSettings.json

native ice
exotic willow
native ice
#

press Windows + R on your keyboard, type/paste %appdata% into the box that shows up in the bottom left, click "Ok", scroll down in the folder that opens to find a folder called "HKModInstaller" delete that entire folder

native ice
#

Yep

#

And when it says it automatically detected a path

#

say no

mossy smelt
#

you shouldn't be needing to move any folders anywhere

native ice
#

Select your game folder that's in your extension

mossy smelt
#

ah, if you mean selecting a folder in the installer, select the folder that has hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data inside

native ice
#

the former

mossy smelt
#

what file?

#

answer this with a yes or a no: you have opened mod installer, and it is asking you for a folder

#

select the **folder **that has hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data inside

#

I think unityplayer.dll is inside the folder you want to select? I don't remember the folder structure that exactly, but it shouldn't be too hard

#

??

tiny heath
#

do you have to downpatch for mods to work?

mossy smelt
#

if you want 1.4.3.2 mods to work, yes

#

if you want 1.5 mods to work, no

tiny heath
#

where can i get 1.5 mods?

native ice
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
native ice
#

download scarab

#

it's the 1.5 installer

native ice
#

no

#

to your desktop

tiny heath
#

oki

#

now what?

native ice
#

or a folder somewhere else, but avoid putting it in downloads or your game files

#

open the folder and run the .exe

tiny heath
#

@native ice what do i do about this? the dropdown doesnt work

native ice
#

click ok

tiny heath
#

ah ok

#

and i just put it into my hollow knight folder? or a specific folder in it

#

@native ice

native ice
#

yep, the hollow knight folder

tiny heath
#

does this mean im done?

#

oh sick it lets me install from the mod loader

@limber egret My InfiniteNotches it's still now working

limber egret
#

I honestly don't know how to make it work, however I can give you a workaround?

#

If you get the more saves mod you can edit your save files to just have however many notches you want. (This is all the infinite notches mod does.)

quartz sandal
limber egret
#

It's in the options for the more saves mod

#

Get that, go into options on the main menu, then click through until you see it
