hello, will a room and item randomizer will be added to the scarab mod installer ?
It will be. No idea how long
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?
i did it now i open the file
yes
doesn't take long to do, so may as well
i think i did it
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?
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.
Multiplayer Procedure (HKMP) [Recommended MP Mod]
#archived-modding-help message
and skins must be used through hkmp, not using customknight
hey tami jo i have everything into the folder but the open mods isnt working
If it's in the folder you don't need to click that now
hm ok
Just open your game
Options
:this:
In case anybody was wondering blocking people on discord does nothing
just shows an annoying bar across the screen
It depends on your definition of nothing lol
it's almost worse
It's definitely worse
what do i do in options?
It prevents pings from pinging
Mods > custom Knight
this
must be Friday. reading comprehension at an all time low
Oh this is good actually
this time it will work

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
oh god
is there no +1 reaction?
what am i doing wrong now

Did you disable Satchel?
what is satchel
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
pc exploded
i just need to put evrything in folder and activate custom knight?
my custom knight isnt enabling
unfortunate
you click the install box
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 and i have downloaded the modinstaller 2, but there it says modding api out of date, how do i fix this?
click the orange box
wasn't talking to you
ook
thats it?
mod installer not work for 1.5 right
pls help :(

i cant enable with scarab please help
In Scarab, you need Custom Knight and Satchel to have a ✅ next to Installed and Enabled.
Then start Hollow knight. On your main menu, at the top left, you should see the names of both of those mods.
i need to instal satchel?
It should have automatically installed, but if you don't have it, then yes
where do i download it?
The same place you got Custom Knight
this
in scarab?
where i get satchel for scarab
ok nob
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
my game is open and all the scarab files are on my desktop
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
i think its a file
what a useful sentence
i have the files clrcompression clrjit coreclr libHarpBuzzSharp mscordacore Scarab and Scarab.pdf
that may not be useful
Scarab comes in a folder
its closed bruh
i closed it alredy
so then do the next steps
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.
i cant click the enabled button
i clicked it and it closed scarab that means it worked?
no
bruh
bruh
That's going to cause more problems than it solves
ok but i dont know whats wrong when i click to install it closes scarab
neither do we. cuz you're not saying anything of use
and not providing any screenshots
or really helping in any regard
ok i will send a video of what happens
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?
-
close HK and Scarab
-
run this script to reset Scarab's memory
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/890824593848299550/HKModInstaller_Reset.bat -
use Steam's Verify Integrity on hollow knight
Image if you need to know how to do that:
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/910762350267744276/910762714807291946/hk_verify_integrity.png -
if you still have the Scarab .zip on your downloads folder, then extract it again. Leave the files in the folder, and move that folder to your desktop. If you don't have that .Zip anymore, then redownload Scarab, and do this.
-
run Scarab. Exe, and reinstall Custom Knight. Wait a about 30 seconds, and check to see if Satchel was also installed. If they both were, then launch Hollow Knight
i didnt buy it on steam
where'd you buy it
i bought it in GOG
so do the same thing with gog galaxy
right click -> manage installation -> verify/repair
Hey guys I downloaded a mod app for HK and my game can't launch
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
i think im installing the wrong scarab
screenshot your title screen
imma instal the right one i got it wrong

screenshot your title screen
the game title screen?
yes
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
ok
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
im very tired
okay so what do i do in that file
I’m on scarab download do i download the source code or just the windows zip since I’m playing on windows
start the exe
im in pain
Then I just enable the mods I want and boot up the game right?
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
What folder did you select
Hollow Knight Data
which should i choose?
it also says invalid
yeah
please help i just wanted to get skin
how does one use player data tracker I cant find a readme file
Screenshot what you're selecting
There's nothing to use with it in game
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
You pull up the webpage it exports data to
And add that as a source in obs
=> Still compatible with the web UI at https://kaydeetee.github.io/HollowKnightRandomizerTracker2.8/Index.html.
This one
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
no it doesn't
it asks for the folder that CONTAINS them
Hollow Knight
one level up
delete your game files and reinstall with galaxy
you shouldn't have two data folders in the first place
so your asking me to delete the game?
and reinstall, yes
how can i find the mod installer?

ok reinstalled it
then it's wherever you put it
it isn't in any hk folders
the game is 9 GB, there's no way you uninstalled and reinstalled
you didn't put it there. it's probably still in your downloads folder
it's not
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
what is the application's name?
i don't know what you downloaded
its working
but it'll be modinstaller or similar
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?
modinstaller.exe?
read pins
your installer and game patch don't match

Ah thank you
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
because i placed my folder with the skin in skins and it didnt work
i dont know how to operate the scarab one
does anyone know how to use the scarab mod installer?
wich one is the skin mod? (in the mod installer)
custom knight
thanks
I installed this and it didnt launch the game
click the install box of mods you want to install
but how do i get to the list of mods
Where can I find mod descriptions (what they do)

what if I don't find one of the mods I'm looking for? example now, GodSoul
if you click the arrow next to the mods in the installer, it gives a short description
to what version is it recommended to downgrade in order to use the 1.4 ModInstaller?
1.4
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
OHHHH, thx
why do you want to use 1.4.2.4 specifically?
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
yeah thats exactly what I was planning to do XD
then yeah, 1.4.3.2
but using this beta thing keeps reinstalling my game, is there a way to get the normal version AND this beta?
Which version is best for the multiplayer mod? (Sorry to interrupt btw)
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"
hkmp, what version depends on your game patch
ohhh, yeah that makes sense actually, so just:
download beta
move gamefiles elsewhere
download normal version again
add moved beta as a nonsteam game?
0.7.2 I think for 1.4.3.2, most recent for 1.5
yes
aight, thx
Gotcha
and don't forget the special instructions from the downpatching guide
you need some extra steps

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...
did you add the steam_appid file?
did you add any mods?
I've no clue what you've actually done
srry, yeah i did already try to add randomizer 3, and I added the appid of 367520
did you add the modding api? which installer are you using?
is it pointing to the right location? and not your main branch install?
i'm using this one, the installer 1
yeah I pointed it to my own beta thing that I moved elsewhere
screenshot where you put the beta files, the folder with the exe
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
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
the downloads progress in steam would have completed
it tends to get stuck at 100% for awhile while the disk does some stuff
yeah it doens't run without mods either, imma try reinstalling the beta
yeah. and try running the game before you copy the files over.
if it still doesn't work after trying again, lemme know
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
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
what do i do after scarab
run it
did
how do i get the mods
click the install box
i did
then you have the mods
it didnt work
what about it didn't work
i clicked install and enable
don't click enable
enable will auto check when the mod finishes downloading
its has a check mark
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
if you were healing fine in between, then it's probably not the hollow point bug
sounds like the god soul mod then
yo, I tried the whole downloading thing again and its running now, thx
nice
no
something with this description would definitely make me believe that all healing is removed
maybe even healing with benches
what sachi and vasi?
oh
no
with benches still work, thx again
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?
check the pins for hollow point fix
the mod changes your save file
so you'll have to edit it
thanks
can i have some help, my hollow knight suddenly crashes after i applied the skin mod
what should i do?
what version is your game, what installer are you using
anyone know how i can reinstall modding api for 1.4 i downpatched from 1.5 and my modding api has stopped working
I might be misremembering, but is there a mod that added "snow"? I think I've seen someone use that for a xmas stream last year.
the point mod isnt working still
i know there was a wind mod but idk about snow
hollow point mod?
screenshot main menu
Been a while since I've played Hollow knight, so whats the newest update of the game with a working randomizer mod?

hmm
ahh thanks, guess I'll wait with them for now
can somebody help me?
read the message directly below that
readme covers that
I'm trying to play hollowpoint too, and it works alright on a new save
The bullets just don't hit enemies for me, for some reason.
Screenshot your title screen
well it's not top left of this screen, so it's not installed
does gun work with randomizer?
yes
can i use my controller to swap?
Anyone know how to fix this?
ok nothing is showing up
you don't have modding api installed
Check the pinned messages for the list of readmes and read the readme for hollow point
Screenshot your installer
quit to menu and reload the save
and make sure you have mod common (1.4) or Vasi (1.5)
is there any way to instal mods in the 1.4.2.4 version? or i need to upload it
why do you have that patch
i dont know man
why would you do this? screenshot your title screen
i didn't downloaded it from steam, so i dont rlly know why is that patch
buy the game
do you have vasi enabled
Yup
i tried but in my country is a bit hard to buy games from steam withouth visa
not my problem
ik
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
so, in case i want to use mods i need 1.4.3.2 ?
Not on an existing save, no. I've been making new games, exiting out the game completely each time I change something, and then making a new game again
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
hey can anyone help? I installed the mod installer but when i open hollow knight it doesn't show that it's loaded in the top left
You were literally told this before
What did you download
Where did you get Hollow Knight
steam
i reinstalled it bc of a glitch i was getting tho but i fixed that
do i need to delete the mod folder and try again?
What did you download
the modinstaller from this chat
modinstaller 2
does modding api say out of date?
umm it was customknight, randomizer, benchwarp, Qol, and that's all i can remember
yeah the modding api did say out of date
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
ok i updated it
Sad
If only there was a channel where you could describe your problem
Instead of just stating it doesn't work
ok when i start up hollow knight it just does not show up
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
Okay, where did you get Hollow point from? The same place you got the other mods that do work?
Screenshot scarab and your main menu
just the installed
Yes that would do
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
what does the bottom left of your scarab say?
and you can also try this: #archived-modding-help message
unknown doesn't matter
just means it's not given a version number in the code
what's the newest installer
scarab
this shows up and idk what to do
should i deleat the .bak file
Yea
Did you use scarab?
thanks allot
I don't know, I know nothing about mods
You literally asked a question then when given the answer ignored it then?

Download appropriate installer for your OS and game version. Unzip as needed. Run the program you unzipped
It's the big number on your title screen
If you haven't done anything, you probably have 1.5
Where did you get Hollow Knight?
If it's steam, make sure your game is updated to the most recent version
how accessible is it make a customKnight mod? im not very good at these kind of things but i wanted to make a skin
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.
thanks, im watching a vid rn to learn how to make a customKnight mod. just wanted to ask, can spritePacker work with other programs?
no
and you can't use any installers for 1221
what command console thing are you talking about
hey i cant install my mods it doesnt run the installer
pls help
i have the latest version
im pretty sure you gotta switch to version 1.4.3.2
ah
i also got an issue
im trying to do randomizer and i have the right version but when i open the game the mods just aren't there
imagine some Christmas lights in the background of NKG
would look awsome
i still dont know how to do this
it just wont load the mods and its kinda annoying
ill try doing it and let u know
aight
could u give me a link to the mod instaler?
check the pinned messages it has them
and the specifics
@jovial crane i got it working
yep
xgcbdv
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

i don't have a save issue
go to your saves and delete the modding api globalsettings files
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?
1
i've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game
i've also tried using 2
wait, what do you mean by you can't view save files? they're blank?
was the game closed when you deleted the files?
try deleting them again, and also delete customknight and/or benchwarp globalsettings files, if they're there
no don't uninstall
oh
too late
i'm also going to try deleting the suggested modinstaller folder in appdata
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
where would i be able to find said file
the mods are installed, they just don't pop up in the top left
and well the mods button is there
didn't you say you already did it?
oh shoot i was looking in the wrong location
Uh, I'm not really familiar with how those things work
Is hollow knight working on your new drive?
Have you tried changing where steam installs the game to?
You'll need to change scarab's path to point to the new folder
oh, well that's a different problem then what it seemed like...
If you just manually moved the mods over, then you probably forgot the modding api
open scarab, hit "change path", select the folder that has hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data inside
got it working thanks @native ice
you're on 1.4.3.2?
Which installer? 1 or ?
Then reset your installer #archived-modding-help message
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
the older mod installers lack so many QoL things 
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
ah
They're asking if the installer they're using is outdated
kind of yes, but
for 1.4.3.2, mod installer 2 is the most up-to-date one
^
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
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
Scarab is for 1.5, mod installer 1 and 2 are for 1.4.3.2
^
use whichever mod installer is appropriate for your version
Doing this allows you to change where the mod installer installs mods to
blank?
did you select the new file path?
then install things?
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?
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?
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
did it say anything about automatically detecting a path?
do this
how do I make the equivilant of a resource pack?
like replace sounds/textures in hk
appdata is just %appdata%, your OS's path variable pointing to where your appdata folder is
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%
you definitely didn't delete your whole appdata folder
go there and delete HKInstallerSettings.json
I know textures can be changed with Swapper, which is built into the 1.5 version of custom knight, as for sounds, I think there's something for that but i can't remember what it is
I'm mostly looking for sounds tbh
should I like ask in the modding discord?
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
You can if you want, the response time is a bit slow since there's not too many users yet
Yep
And when it says it automatically detected a path
say no
alright ¯_(ツ)_/¯
you shouldn't be needing to move any folders anywhere
Select your game folder that's in your extension
ah, if you mean selecting a folder in the installer, select the folder that has hollow_knight_Data or Hollow Knight_Data inside
the former
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
??
do you have to downpatch for mods to work?
where can i get 1.5 mods?

Yo I found the Snow Mod, Christmas special let's go!
whoa i was not expecting it to be this straightforward?? sorry im used to the ridiculously complicated world of rain world modding but thanks again for the help
ok so I've installed the ModInstaller 2 and downpatched to 1.4.3.2, but can someone explain to me what I need to do from there? I think I downloaded the .dll for Debug Mod but I have no idea what to do with it or... literally anything
open the installer
I'm on Mac, running the game through Steam by the way
oh! like click the "installed?" checkbox?
yes
oh ok neat! and then how do I open the mod in game? like, how does it work?
guys tell me why my game crashes when I have mods enabled. Throws Unity error. why?
You're using the wrong installer for your game version. Download Scarab, or if you want to play randomizers, change your game version and then get mod installer 1/2

hello, i have never touched any mods for hollow knight before, can someone tell me what to do?
literally the message above yours, download scarab from there
Very thank you!!
is there randomizer on the 1.5 scarab mod installer?
No
how do I setup item sync for multiplayer?
I think there's a mod called Itemsync multiworld
my screen is just black with a white bar an anyone help?
pretty sure that means it's loading the mods
oh lol sorry then
hey i can't find this skin on the google drive they sent
It was made by members of TWP, for the Chrismas event last year. There is also a Chrismas mod made for it called snow.
We put some of the published custom knight sprites at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16BUDS5e4_5eRId3It318OI4jCCSIZzjx
According to the will of the original author, there will be a challenge for this skin.
For further...
anyone knows how to get it?
what does it mean
It means there was a challenge you needed to do to get the skin, but I think it's over now.
There is still this tho: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AgWucMoQWO41v1FH-t4DuPyEYUOqh0dv/view?usp=sharing
To make what work
like i mean that things
umm
the modcommon
and that things
because i change my HDD
and i have to install again the mods
Different mods require different library mods so it depends.
Which installer are you using? Mod installer 1 downloads library mods automatically
yes im using mod installer 1

how do i get the randomizer mod?
if i switch to modinstaller 2 do i have to delete all my mods first
do u already have modinstaller installed
yeah scarab
i dont think randomizer is on scarab
if u download modinstaller for 1.4.3.2 there will be randomizer there
No. If your mods are working there's no need to switch, though. They both have the same list of mods.
ok
I need help, my game just crashes after I installed the mods and I don't know what is happening
are there any mods that make me invincible iv been grinding and lost my shade with a good amount of money and its too far away to get there and not die so are there any mods that will make me 100% not die
1.5's Infinite Notches mod isn't working, I don't have my infinite notches
it works for me
What did you download
Where did you get your game
Debug mod
Does it show up in the top left corner of your main menu?
are mods available for the current version or do i have to use 1.4?
They are available for the current patch. Check the first pinned message.
It does not for some reason
Where did you get them infinite notches mod?
Scarab
I would simply try redownloading it.
Yep! (Assuming you're on Windows.)
yea
Extract that folder to your desktop, then open it. Click scarab, then you just start clicking install on the mods you want.
I just pressed on Installed to uninstall it, and it removed the check, installed it again, the check popped again, its enabled, open the game again and it still doesn't show up
Do you have the official hollow knight? or did you download/cracked it on the internet?
It should ask for the file location when you open it, or pressing that upwards arrow in the "Info" window
when i try to get in a randomized game, it sets the camera way off to the left and i cant press esc to open up the menu so i have to alt+f4 to stop being stuck. what is happening I'm so confused
Yes, now just press Install on the mods you want, it will enable it automaticly
yes, just go on steam and open it, it should appear in the left up corner
ait
I don't know about that, wait for someone more experienced to come and help you with that, hope you get that fixed
what's world sense?
huh whats this
I don't know, I think its only a mod that you cant change gravity, I think you go upside down when you press R
ok i got it to work
ohh nvm i know what world sense is now
Sounds like you need Vasi
@limber egret My InfiniteNotches it's still now working
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.)
Ok, but how do I change the save files?
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
Well thx, but I actually installed the infinite notches mod for the third time and it's working now, thx for all the help, and sorry for putting you through that
how do i make it so benchwarp only works for benches i've used?
wait does anyone know where or how u can fight pale prince
in the 4th ||pantheon||
he's the final boss there
but can i fight him as the statue in hog?
Settings, turn off unlock all
thanks
You should be able to. Most of these mods don't work on a godseeker save file, you'll need to go to Godhome in the main game.
sometimes those mods put a switch on the statue in hog
They probably conflict, so you will be to use one at a time
ait
wait i cant find him anymore in the mod packs what
nvm
hm pv statue is normal now
hey guys i tried downloading the mod installer but now i cant open HK it gives me an error message with the knights face and then it closes instantly does anyone know how to fix this?
Wrong mod installer probably

- Verify file integrity if you're on steam (idk what to do on gog)
- Check pins
- Install Scarab also from pins

Try pressing the "fix my skins" button in game.
If that doesn't work then you will need to make sure your file structure is correct. Look at the default skin and make sure the file path for your skins match that. (Only it will be the name of your skin instead of "default*.)
Hi, does the "item sync" in "co-op room rando" comes in with the modinstaller ?
No. See #modding-discussion pins

On the mod installer
How to use skins on 1.5?
idk
I tried to install 3 different modinstallers and now no mods work. I’m getting tired of vanilla and desperate for help, can someone please help me?
does someone know how to get both instances of the game on steam without downpatching every time?
I guess we're all screwed with our needs, help will probably come though
I think you have to use 1.4.3.2 actually
I tried but it doesn't work
why isnt my custom knight mod working
i added the hornet skin to the swap folder
and its enabled
?
hello?
anyone
is there any way to use randomizer on mac currently because you can't run 1.4.3.2 on mac
Please cool it. Somebody will reply when they get a chance.
In the meantime there's a pinned message about custom Knight
@wispy mortar 1.5 or 1.4
If you're unable to use 1432 you'll have to wait until they're updated
Did you check the pinned messages
- Get scarab
- Get custom Knight
- Download a skin (check the pinned messages for a folder with skins in it)
- Extract your skin into your "skin" folder.
Did you find the pinned message about custom Knight and follow all 4 steps?
@wispy mortar in hollowknight go to setting-mods-custom knight-select the skin you want-apply
I have Custom Knight, I got scarab but I don't know if I should put it into Hollow Knights files, and where
You need it in the skin folder
it it in the game files?
Scarab can go anywhere. Your desktop us best.
Okay thanks
It's next to the swap folder
i have it in were my cursor is
Dont replace them just add the skin to the skin folder
Is the "skin" folder really called that? I put my skins into custom knight and it still doesn't work
it has the knights sprites innthem
im using scarab, 3 mods in particular, HKMP, BingoUI, and DebugMod, say they have "Failed to initialize" does anyone know what to do about this?
the knights sprites did change to gornet
hornet
sorry i type at mock 10 speed
i tend to have spelling mistakes
Some mods need other mods to run like vasi satchel
