put the skins at ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/CustomKnight for mac
how do i fix it on desktop
what they have is right. mac doesn't have hollow_knight_Data from what i've seen
prob changed since that long ago then
did you already delete the globalsettings
yeah i did that and it didn't go past hollow_knight (hollow_knight.app doesn't exist)
screenshot your saves folder
the message i linked
Are you on mac?
yes
hollow_knight and hollow_knight.app are the same thing, sometimes file extensions are just hidden, to get deeper, right click the app and select open package contents
did you go to the message i linked
yes but i didint understand what to do
copy paste the path into the search bar and hit enter
copy paste the path in the message into the search bar and hit enter
i did and it didint do anything
hit windows button + r then put that path in there and hit ok
it says windows cant find save
what are you putting in there
Save Files: %APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
%APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
Yes
yes
Now do the rest of the instructions
i see a bunch of mod files with global settings json
Delete them
now just relaunch the game and it should be fixed
plz do not spam
We don't need a running commentary either
Which mod is specifically for manually adding spells for example speedrunner vs hunter?
Debug mod can do what you need
Did you check step 3
yes but i dont understand what it means
It means that your file structure needs to match the default skin
Make sure there's not extra folders
the only files in custom knight are Default and smolaire
And inside the smolaire folder?
Take a screenshot, including the address bar
im embarrassd to say this but how do you screenshot on desktop...
There should be a button that says print screen on your keyboard
Or use the clipping tool if you're on Windows
om on windows and what is the clipping tool
It's an app
Win + shift + s (i think)
kk
what does the mod console do?
It's used for testing mods
ah
You can do yes
what kind of error
it doesn't give directly gives with notepad. when i open the Notepad it says, entry point was not found
is it extracted in a folder with all it's files on your desktop
it's in the same folder with scarab's folder
you can try moving the folder to your desktop and running it as admin
k im trying
Hi, I'm trying out skins in Hollow Knight, I followed Fireborn's video on how to do it, however something does not seem to be working. When I get in game the window for custom skins is a bit different than that of the video and when I click on a skin name the text just disappears. Has anyone ran into this before?
screenshot your customknight folder
and inside those folders is the skin files or another folder
Its the pngs
did it come with a readme or no
I reinstalled customknight but it didnt help
no readme exists for customknight it says
the skin folder
alright go to your save files and delete your globalsettings files and then restart the game

aggg. Sorry to bother, but HollowPoint is giving me some grief. For some reason, when I launch the save, and the added ui has a bunch of overlapping -9999s(sometimes 1, sometimes 3, sometimes 2 with with an additional one that is grey and seperate.), and I am unable to use or even weild the AK.
are you starting HP on a new save
Yes
what other mods do you have installed
Reload the save, it breaks on save creating, exiting and going back in fixes it
You need mod common
tfw i missed that
did not work
can you screenshot the folder
sure wait pls
I tried reloading the save, and even relaunching the game as a whole, no improvement. The only other mods I'm using are custom knight and it's required mod, though that could be the problem...
customknight is incompatible
ah, thank you. Sorry to bother.
so the custom knight folder isn't showing up in the mods folder for me. i have no clue why
windows or mac
mac
Thanks, I managed to get it working, uninstalled and re-installed modcommon. It's working now!
thx Zaliant
for some reason there is a separate mods folder buried deep in the files. that one has all the other mods i'm using
perhaps it's your anti-virus?
what can i do
make sure windows security isn't blocking it
so you go to open it and nothing happens at all?
HollowPoint only works on 1.4.3.2 though, unless the new HKMP also works on 1.4.3.2
#archived-modding-help message unsure if this helps, not too keen on mac
Both HKMP and hollow point work on both versions
I DOWNPATCHED FOR NOTHING????
If it doesn’t work on 1.5 I’ll be angre since I have to update it
same again
Yeah, hkmp is literally on scarab, on the 1.4.3.2 installers you need to manually install it
Also hkmp and the multiplayer mods are very different things
HollowPoint wasnt working on 1.5- WAIT I WAS ALWAYS MAKING A NEW SAVE AND STARTING WITH THE MOD FUUUUU-
I really need to add that in game menu with the readme
Putting (READ README) isn't enough
I didn’t put read readme in modlinks, nor does scarab have readmes 
@wheat orchid you are the person making HollowPoint now?
what can i do that didn't work too
what exactly happens when you try to open it, nothing? an error?
can you drop the .txt here
Hello good, I just installed Scarab next to Custom Knight and the Custom Knight options section appeared, but now for some reason it no longer appears. Does anyone know why it is?

?saves Go to your save files and delete the custom knight, benchwarp, and modding api globalsettings files
I am trying to play multiplayer with my friend, we both connected and we see eachother, but no one moves, why?
are you using HKMP
what s that?
I only have enabled multi player client and server from modloader
also your problem probably is that you have client and server installed, only the server needs server, and the client needs just client
Where would that be?
no its just recommended
Just installed modinstaller 2, now hollow knight won't run
^
is your game in 1.4
hey i just installed modinstaller for 1.432 but when i open it it says "modinstaller quit unexpectidly"
im on mac btw
wdym
what patch is your game
how do i tell were that is
Right click the mod installer, select "Show package contents", open the MacOS folder in the folder that opened, drag "Mod Installer" to your desktop and run that
if you havent downpatched it then your game is 1.5, you need to downpatch to 1.4
how do i find what patch it is
if you don't know it's probably 1.5, you need to downpatch to 1.4
open hk and it shows in the start game screen on the bottom left
It won't start up
then open hk folder
did you downpatch
it should say
if not, you have 1.5
Bench warp does not come out
how do i downpatch
what do you mean?
then you have 1.5

in the save files folder I can't find any file with the name '' bench warp''
just delete the other ones then
And what do I do after?
launch the game
It is already solved, thank you very much!
where should i extract the hkmp?
Even so I have a question, when placing a skin the game stops and sometimes crashes, why is it?
bad pc
Please don't ghost ping Admins, or anyone
The game is left with a kind of dull color
does placing a skin without the game open resolve this
It is that I try to do that, but the game does not load the mask itself if I am not inside
does not load the mask itself if I am not inside

does anyone know how I can install the randomizer mod if I got HK through game pass?
you cant
Steam or GoG
for some reason even without any mods enabled hollow knight wont open. is there anything that could be causing this problem?
that didnt work
I have a question about a skin for custom knight i have having been trouble with to work

Killer whale

Do you have a screenshot?

I don't know what to do xd

Oh thank you
I mean, you can probably do both of those with randomizer, but aside from there being practically nothing in ToT to randomize, it probably won't randomize it. If you're talking about room rando, I'm guessing it won't randomize ToT transitions
did you try redownloading it? Or just opening it and dragging the files out?
I was just talking about item rando. So I guess the item in the trailer that I guess you need to get into the area won't be randomized? If so that's fine lol.
I doubt it will be, no
Why would you do it in a randomizer though?
like it won't break, but you have to go so out of your way, getting all the movement items necessary and getting voidheart and such
I dunno xD. I wanted to do one where the goal is to beat Path Of Pain and I just decided to tack that on too since I'll probably have all the items I'd need for that.
I've just already done two randos where the goal was True Ending and decided to spice it up a bit.
fair enough, good luck
Pick up randomized pantheons and go for godhome ending
I'm off to a rough start cause I have random start on and it put me next to collo. But I've still got checks I know I can reach so I'm not fucked yet.
I would but like, Skurry already did that xD. Also I've never actually beaten P5 
\ so I still haven't solved my last issue despite deleting the global settings files for every mod multiple times and uninstalling/reinstalling TransformKnight multiple times, but I've basically given up on that and have an unrelated question which should be easier
What's the first problem?
\ SmolKnight mod, and then TransformKnight mod once I was pointed to that being the better version of it, seem to install properly and make the knight smaller and appear in the top-left mod list, but the size toggle button, backspace, does nothing, and the mods never show up under the "Mod Settings" menu, and a lot of the things people suggested to "fix" the issue just made things worse and have left my Mod Settings menu a seemingly irreparable totally blank screen without the settings for other mods either, even after uninstalling TransformKnight
\ anyway, unrelatedly, in this section of a gamesave file, under "NailRange", how much and in what way would changing this value change my base charmless nail range? Like, what would this value look like if I increased the range by 50%? would it be 0.5? or 50? or negative, or something else, weirder
Pretty sure it'll be 0.5 if anything, i'd suggest making an extra noticable change, like try setting it to 1 or 2 first, might help make sure it's working
\ oh neat, I got the other mod settings to display again, at least. That doesn't solve my first issue but at least it's back to square one and not left more broken than it was this morning
\ I tried setting NailRange to 2, and then to 50, and it doesn't seem to have made a notable difference. I only have down-strike right now but I can still jump high enough that the grass under me doesn't break
Nail range is probably reset periodically
I'm pretty sure it should work, I vaguely remember messing with it a long while back
\ yeah I'm only editing the file when the game has totally exited to desktop, but I set it to 99999 and it still didn't cut the grass so it seems to have no effect
\ and other changes I've made have worked so I know the file is saving correctly
then maybe it is that, i think debug mod might have a hotkey to change nail range?
\ not anywhere I've been able to find
hello, is there any mod that shows where you are in HK on your discord status?
Yes, HKDRPC was it I think? Some HK acronym involving D
ye it's drpc, discord rich presence and idk what the c is
is it for 1.4 or only 1.5?
Pretty sure it's both
I thought it was as in Discord rpc
Make sure to check it's readme
So, I'm looking into downloading the Scarab mod package, and... I'm really unclear which file(s) I need to download
Cool, thanks
OK, once I have Scarab installed and un-archived, how do I get it to run in the game? (Sorry if these all seem like really obvious questions - this is the first time I've ever messed around with mods, for any game)
Install any mod
That will install the mod plus the ModdingApi which is what lets mods function
When I try to open the modinstaller it says I have to be on the most recent and stable version of the game but... i am on the most recent version. idk about stable. any tips?

i was using mod installer 1 and decided to start using scarab but upon using it even once attempting to run hollow knight now results in this even after i disable the scarab api
i cannot open the supposed file it makes either
that message shows up for only half a second and even when i can click it nothing happens
Where did you purchase the game from?
originally the gamepass but i dumped the game so i could mod and run it in exe form so its a portable install
Yea that's the problem
what do i do if it says update your game to current stable patch

is randomizer possible with scarab?

Anyone familiar with MultiWorld? If the server is fully closed, is there a way for someone to boot it back up and have people rejoin, still getting the items other people get?
Is there any mods that add a quicksave feature?
If the server closes, and everyone pauses, then it shouldn't be an issue afaik
debug
Items can fail to deliver if the games keep playing and the server isn't correctly receiving them, but the clients think that they delivered them.
If the server is rebooted though, then the MW should be able to continue.
MW data is mostly just handled by the client save files
the server just acts to deliver things
when items are picked up, the are queued to be sent to the server, and should stay in queue until the server "accepts" them. Then the server keeps them in queue until it "delivers" them.
Is it okay to use with the most recent patch of the game?
So if any items weren't delivered, then those would be lost.
thank you, it looks to be working
When choosing respawn in the debug menu it just freezes? The menu still works but everything else is unresponsive
Also sorry about the tag <33
heyo so i just got my pc reconnected to internet and wanted to update room rando but i cannot figure out how anybody have any tips for me?

ive downloaded the installer but get this message when trying to install

Have an issue with the discord rich presence mod, it seems to be failing to initialize? Anyone had this issue before?

Same problem here, seems like we got to downgrade to an older version of the game but I don't know to which one
oo ok
Your options are either to downpatch to 1432, or use the most recent version of the installer, Scarab.
ok so i should intall scarab
You only really need to down patch if you want to play with Randomiser mods
Thanks for the help
Im trying to figure out how to update room randomizer but i havent played pc hollow knight since january
If you don't want to play with those, scarab is the best way to go
So i dont remember anything mod related
ok thanks so mutch
See above. You will need to make sure you're on patch 1432. I assume you already have a mod installer, but if not grab one of those too.
How do i check for patch 1432
Err, not see above, see the pinned messages.
Your hollow knight main menu has the patch in the bottom left corner. If you don't know it, you're likely on the most recent patch, 1.5.78
So im trying to open hk but its trying to force me to update to open the game
What do i do to stop that @limber egret
Check the third pinned message. That will override anything your Steam is trying to do anyway.
Im having a hard time understanding even with the pinned messages @limber egret
Just look at the image in the message and you can mostly ignore the words.
The image shows you the main three steps.
okay open your game to check it's on patch 1432. If this starts updating then just let it go.
It says its running but it wont open
Oh nvm my pc is just slow
@limber egret
Im on 1.4.3.2
👍
So now what do i do?
Do you already have a mod installer from before?
I have 3 mods installed but im sire theyre outdated
And i dont know how to check
It should still be on jere tho
Here*
I havent messed with any files or deleted or installed anything
Open your installer and it should do most of the work for you
How do i find my installer
Trying to open modinstaller seems to have downloaded an auto update file @limber egret
Im struggling with this pc stuff lol
I dont understand how to do any of that @limber egret
Im sure it should be very simple
Literally just follow the steps and click the links
But it just doesnt click for me
Just press delete on your keyboard
Okay i had to do it repeatedly for it to appear
Okay i genuinely dont know what he means in step 2 @limber egret
Did you click the link in step 2?
Lemme switch to discord on my pc
You'll be downloading stuff from this discord server so yes
You clicked the link that sent you to this message, correct?
Copy that file path, press ctrl + R then paste that file path
And hit enter or run or whatever.
The %appdata%.. thing
I really just have zero knowledge im like an elderly person trying to play a videogame
That's a file path
So the first thingy in the box?
That whole little box. Copy it, then press ctrl+R, then paste that file path into that box.
Into what box?
Yes
Delete that
K its gone entirelt
Download mod installer 2 from the first pinned message
Isnt it telling me to delete something from windows installer 2 first
?
No, that's what you do if you were using mod installer 2
You were using mod installer 1
Oh okay
Okayyy why is winrar opening saying i have no more free trial
@limber egret i pressed the link and it seemed to download something
is randomizer possible with scarab?
It is not
Right click the folder you downloaded and extract it somehow
Did you extract the folder?
No i literally just clicked the discord link
Extract to specified folder or extract without confirmation
Whatever works for you, so long as the new folder ends up on your desktop
I dont understand how to put it into a new folder of its own
It just wants to go into existing folders
I cant find the foldee it created thats the problem
You just told it where to extract to
Okay i found the files but they didnt create a folder theyre just both separate
You seriously overestimate how much i understand about a pc
Okay so both the exe and the pdb are now in the same folder @limber egret
Do i drag it to the desktop screen? Is it that simple?
Yes
Its interrupting the action
"The destination folder is the same as the source folder" @limber egret
So it's already on your desktop
Open the folder, open mod installer 2
You'll see an orange box next to modding API. Click that to update it
Okay i clicked all the orange boxes
Do i just open hk now?
@limber egret
Yes
how do i mod on pirate version? ,_,

Hey, im having trouble with Custom Knight. Installed it properly on the 1.4.3.2 version, just like in the tutorial. Modcommon is installed too. When im ingame I can see the skins while pausing the game, but If i choose one it doesnt change the appearance of my knight. Am I missing something?
Thats how it looks like ingame
can somebody help me i can not heal and i can not se my soul light up
I was wondering how to completely uninstall Scarab?
in one save file or all?

Just delete the folder

benchwarp child of light, custom knight, elder god, enemy hp, Grimm child upgrades, infenent notches, lightbrigher QoL, randomizer 3, sere core, and vasi
Check the pinned messages for a list of common custom knight problems
Have you ever used Hollow Knight?
Scarab is just a regular app. If you want to remove mods from your game then you can press "disable API" in the bottom left corner of scarab
Ah okay sorry
I was just confused because i unchecked ‘installed?’ For the debug mod and yet the DebugMod.GlobalSettings.json are still apart of the game files
If thats apart of the debug mod idk
This is my first time modding lol
The settings files will still be there but they won't do anything
The mod isn't in your game files, so it never checks for them. If you ever decide to turn them back on, your settings file is still there so any keybinds you've saved will remain, for example.
Ahh okay tysm for the help <33
I was just going to install the debug mod on a different installer because it wasnt working for scarab
It was freezing when i tried to respawn lol
Sorry for yet another question but the debug mods readme file says to download “the modding API” from a link that doesnt work- any idea what its referring to?
modding api is already installed
its needed to have mods and installs automatically
Scarab is the installer for the latest patch.
The others won't work.
I do have the latest patch
You can't simply use a mod that was made for a different patch though
Oh sorry i was told that the mod worked on the current patch

is there a mod where you spawn in path of pain with full health and abilities
no. but you can put a save file in that's at the bench closest to it. you can then make a save state with debug at the entrance

damn i remember when there was only one installer
that one with zote
i feel old once again
thanks!
my custom knight does not work in scarab, it is installed, but the menu to change skins doesn't appear
also, make sure you're looking in mod options and not the generic pause menu
if i have a normal save, and get another with a mod, will the normal save gets also modded or what
Every time I want to start the game or go to options, anything appears to me "do you want to quit the game" and I have to put yes or no, I tried uninstalling and installing tmb, deleting all my mods and their folders and I still don't want to delete the folders because are my games there
Start the game and it appears if you want to quit the game and I have to press yes or no and so on with the whole game
help me :C
Some mods edit your save, some don't. You'll have to check with each mod.
I think there is one in the mod launcher, but I'm not sure.

the scarab one or the modinstaller for windows beneath it?
mickely can you help me with this?
depends on what patch you're on
and what mods you want
does it do this if your game is vanilla?
if I bought the game and also if it is vanilla
what
probably just uninstall/reinstall or clear settings files, or buy the game
is that I am with the translator
I assume English isn't their first language
I do not speak English
that much was obvious. still a very strange word to start the sentence
even with a translator
i buy game
so the way i determine which installer to use is by the readme in the mod and the version of the game, right?
The readme of the mod doesn’t matter, only installers matching your game version works
the installer for that patch has all the appropriate mods for that patch
ohhhhh
I think I just fixed it
is that I had put a skin and took it out and it works LOL
i get it now, thanks
i was using a tutorial on steam and it mentioned that
it was for the installer i linked earlier
what you linked wasn't an installer
it was an API (I think). I didn't actually open the link
yeah api
APIs are auto installed by the installers
sorry im not too good at this kinda thing lol
you shouldn't be downloading them yourself
the installers handle everything
just click buttons
ok ive downloaded the scarab.zip for windows
do i need to dl the source code too or no?
no
okay thanks
unzip the zip, run the exe

okay thanks, the application linked to the folder
alright one last dumb question, to use the installer for an older version, do i need to delete the scarab installer first?
no
alright, thanks again
just don't run the program after you've downpatched
it doesn't passively do anything
okay yeah alr, sorry for all the questions

useful, thanks
you dont have vasi
yes
Thanks
hall of gods extras requires it
Does it crash with no mods on?
Didnt test
What patch is your game on?
Is a controller connected
1.5
Can you send the specific numbers if you can get back to the title screen?
I cant
The game wont launch
Everytime i do this it does it
Also where did you purchase the game
Gog
So even with all mods disabled it doesn’t work?
Try it
.
too bad, it's happening anyway
i pictured it like that scene from drake and josh that they drive a car
i don't know why but i laughed lmao
a friend of mine installed some mods and had lag
now he restarted and he couldnt even start the game cuz it crashed
he tried to revert to unmodded but it couldnt locate vanilla HK
that just happened to me
Should I backup my save file
he verified integrity and 1 file was missing
tell him to download all the libraries
it downloaded nothing
he uninstalled and still lagged
mods are disabled
its vanilla HK now
its his computer.
i dont know what this means
in the mod installer
where can I find that
does he need to download that from the radiance.host
or in the modinstaller itself
the modinstaller
Please don't help if you don't know what you're talking about
If the vanilla HK isn't working properly then it isn't mods. Downloading library mods won't help.
if he just redownloaded it from steam
is there anything he could try that you guys know of?
run the game
see if it works with no mods at all
check the patch at title screen
and use the appropriate mod installer
for that patch
does he need to completely get rid of mod installer to try that?/
no
okay
cuz he went to current patch for the redownload
should he redownload in 1.4.3.2 (the modinstaller thing we are using
up to you
What patch is your friend on
right now in current patch
you can't use installers that don't match the patch they're for
yeah that makes sense
so if you're trying to use a 1432 installer on CP, it won't work
?I download scarab

My nail isnt doing any damage to anything
i uninstalled the mods
still nothing
nail dmg is stored in your save file
so uninstalling mods wouldn't do anything
you probably reduced it to 0 with debug
wait
im dumb ...
i had set the decrease damage in debug bound to x by accident
and thats the button i hit with
but how many dmg do a pure nail does???
how do i set it back
my mods dont work
unfortunate. thanks for sharing
i think 25
- use the + dmg button in debug
like this?
hold on, lemme get my glasses
that indeed says 21
or other modifiers, yes
my mods arent working im on the right patch for the installer they all seem to be installed and the api is up to date and it even says mods in the options menu but none work and it doesnt show the loading bar
i even tried uninstalling and reinstalling modding api
.
read the message 
i did
the instructions are pretty explicit
so just custom knight bench warp and api?
Why my mods doesn't apper in the mod option????
thanks for the help mods loading again
Have you tried to turn the car on?
Can someone help me please? my game doesn't start
I tried downpatch my game, and now i cant open it
try verify file integrity? idk
I can't go to the files through steam, even there I can't open
I cant download the mod its says that I dont have the game but I have it
can someone help plz
Maybe the game path is wrong
Right click your hollow knight in Steam > properties > local files > verify integrity
Where did you get Hollow Knight, and what have you downloaded?
when I right click on hollow knight, nothing happens, it just completely broke
I tried restarting steam, I'll see if anything has changed
Nothing happens in Steam?
done
Because that's not a HK issue
Does any1 know how to use Custom Knight in 1.5?
Pause > options > mods
yeah but if i switch the Custom Knight on i still have the default skin
There's a message in the pinned messages about common hollow knight problems
Read my message immediately before this question
ok
I'm trying to extract files from the "Randomizer 3" file but it shows up with a password section. Any recommendations?
why
Why why?
my files?
if you want to use randomizer 3, use a 1432 installer
How?
download the installer, downpatch your game to 1432, and run the installer
click install next to randomizer 3
done
my game back to life
thank you for help
I can't enable item sync on my room and item randomizer, when I try to enable the item sync it just flashes and does not change.

Odd, I have both but no room names

Sure enough yeah, missed it behind debug menu overlaying it

modding api cause it says its out of date

I am sorting out Multiplayer Mod through Scarab, when adding the SpeedrunMod for a vs game, do I need to put the Master file in the 'Mods' folder or 'HKMP' folder?
dunno what you're talking about.
why do you have a master file? did you download the source code from github instead of the released build?
I am trying to play multiplayer with my friend and we connected eachother and did all the hamachi stuff, and we see eachother but no one moves, last night, once, I saw him move but he didn't see me move
how do i get hk mods
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
are you using hkmp? if not, you should be
I have it installed but where should I place it?
in which folder
I placed it in mods
like the entire folder HKMP-0.7.2
and he did that too
it should just be a dll
Sorry basically trying to do a race style game with a friend using multiplayer, using the HKMP and have set up my own server which works fine. Wanted to give one person access to the SpeedrunMod for github, was downloaded but where would I need to put the SpeedrunMod file do you know?
that looks like the source code
which is not what you download
you have uncompiled code there
Ah I just looked further and found the .dll file within Build
go to the releases page of the github
Is this what I needed?
no idea. cuz i don't know where you got that
u need to put that in mods
and what's in the hkmp folder
this^
and again
you also have multiplayer server and client mods
which aren't hkmp
that's a different mp mod
so you haven't been using hkmp at all
Yeah for HKMP you only need the dll file:
well how do I get it
don t have it ?:
lemme see on the site
are you using hkmp? if not, you should be
#archived-modding-help message
click the one for 1432
alright i found the dll
unless you plan to set up a server, yes
so if I want to set up a server I should get the one below it too right
yes
alright
and follow the instructions i linked
leads to a detailed guide on setting things up
and uninstall multiplayer client and server
you don't need those
okay
hey, can i dupe a save file for another slot ?
sure
how ?
read the instructions
can i get modcommon link pls?
it's on the installer
oh
go to saves location. copy file, paste file
sorry
?saves

ahhhh got it
they are just installed differently
hkmp is on the 1.5 installer
it is not on the 1432 ones
so I should upgrade it back to 1.5?
so you are past the "how to install" paragraph
you can if you want
but you already installed the 1432 version
so now go on to how to play
@real jacinth thx
but the installation says I need to download scarab and scarab is only for 1.4.3.2
scarab is for 1.5
like i just said, you finished the installation portion
so use your mouse, and scroll down
to "how to use"
oh alright
because you did the portion of installing for 1432
I understand now sorry
there's also links to other pages further down with more instructions based on what you want to do
but shouldn't I start the HKMPServer.exe first?
This was the Speedrun mod that I downloaded https://github.com/underlein/HollowKnight.SpeedrunMod/raw/master/SpeedrunMod/Build/SpeedrunMod.dll
Do I just need to move this into the Mod folder of HK in the screenshot or does it need to be in another folder? I hope that makes sense
if you are on 1432, that is the right spot. if you are on 1.5, then it needs to be in a folder. this looks like you are on 1.5. are you sure this mod is built for that patch?
