Make sure that the folder it asks you about when you open it, is the folder that you have the game installed
do i open unity crash handler
the game or the modinstaller app?
No?
You just need to open the ModInstaller (Scarab in your case), and run it.
Installer. When you first open it, it has you verify where your game is installed to. If you pick the wrong folder, it won't work.
It's wherever you saved it when you downloaded it.

do i have to open hollow knight
then run scarab?
oh wait
hold on
do i open hollow knight?
do i install custom knight?
Ok I'm just gonna leave my problem for tonight because I've already spent a while trying to fix it, but thanks for the help anyway!
Always use the mod installers with Hollow Knight CLOSED
Custom Knight for skins, yeah
When you click "install" in Scarab by it, it takes care of it
can you go to steam, right click HK > browse local files > go into HKData, then Managed, then screenshot?
i have a question about a weird situation im in regarding my save file.
i accidentally clicked the button in the debug mod that marks NK Grimm as defeated, and then only grimm's tent appeared in dirtmouth without the rest of the troupe and he was resting like he does post-battle.
i used save editing to succesfully undo all of this and revert everything to pre-troupe.
however, when i try to do the quest, and i am given grimmchild, no flames appear on my map to collect.
i have reloaded, i have gone through the savefile again and made sure i had nothing relating to grimm "completed" or the lantern lit or any flames collected or having the grimmchild charm or anything i could think of searching for.
i have also tried giving myself all of the required flames through debug and going back to the tent, however grimm doesnt appear when i walk in.
my shade soul isn't casting or depleting soul, other spells and focus work fine
use debug mod when you go in and click bosses>respawn boss then re-enter the room with grimmchild equipped
what mods do you have installed
it might be multiplayerclient, which you dont need anyway
k i'll try removing it
After downloading the modinstaller n' all. I lost my ability to focus entirely. I've tried remapping the buttons, restarting the game and my computer, reinstalling the game, and even deleting the modinstaller and all the mods I had as well. But even if the game is entirely vanilla I can't use focus at all.
The only mods I had on were the infinite charm and custom knight.
thanks
did you have hollow point at any point
i dont know if its scarab or not but what does this mean? it shows up when i open hollow knight through steam and then cancels it
you need to downpatch or update your modinstaller
They were supposedly using current patch and Scarab
Did you open one of the other mod installers before using Scarab?
If you opened a different installer, then you would have borked your game, yes
go to your save files and screenshot the folder please
well i had scarab open before mod manager

Your can only open installers that match your current patch, otherwise you break your install lol
so what do i do
Did you use Hollow Point at all?
while this did not entirely fix the issue, the result is satisfactory. thank you :]
@ dwarf
Ah
This it?
on the third step do i open mod manager or scarab
Have you tried using Focus on keyboard?
I have.
It just doesn't work on controller or keyboard.
Almost as if I don't have the spells.
I've answered this like 5 times lol
You can only use an installer that matches the patch you're on
But I clearly do, for they're shown in my inventory.
so scarab
i assume you've tried rebinding the focus
Why of course.
But for some reason not even that would work.
It would just rebind it back to the default key.
So you're on 1432 right now?
I was. But the problem still occurs on 1432 and well.. Whatever it was on before I even bothered touching the betas thing.
i have custom knight enabled on scarab but when i opened the game the skin menu isnt showing
The skin menu should show up in the game. Not the menu tho
Skin menu is in Options > Mods > Custom Knight
the mods option isnt there
.
If you're on 1432 still, you can try this mod:
It resets the soul value on a save file.
It fixed a rare vanilla issue that some people had with 1.5.
I don't super think it'll fix your current issue, but honestly I'm not sure what to try based on what you've said. Nothing should have caused the issue that you're having.
Alright thanks, I'll try it out tomorrow since it's getting late. Have a goodnight.
ok? have you done what the message says?

||That post is mostly for my own benefit, because I didn't have one message with all three in it||
it should install the modding api when you open it, so you need it before you open HK
did you install customknight?
does it show up top left of title screen?
did you go into options -> mods?
oh i dont think i installed it then
it shows customknight here
after i clicked mods
that's the 1.4.3.2 customknight
oh
install it with scarab
how
then enable?
did you do it when your game was running?
put skins in the skins folder
how do u downpatch on mac
this shit is annoying
going into steam and downloading dont work
oh
ok gimme a sec
is there a mod-related reason I can't un-fullscreen the game? I didn't notice the problem before ever but I tried to stream the game to my girlfriend for a date today and Discord couldn't start the stream bc HK would fully minimize whenever it wasn't in focus. I can't highlight the button with either mouse or directional keys to change out of fullscreen
Alt + Enter
the api
tysm for the help mick and dwarf
one last thing
do i always open scarab before opening HK?
No
Scarab itself just moves files around
You only need to open it if you're going to change something
oh alright
why doesn't the actual fullscreen button work?
alt+enter
I did that
but why doesn't the button in the menu work?
where does that problem come from?
it seems like a super weirdly specific thing to get broken
this probably
that's not really an answer but I guess it's the best I'm gonna get
where can i find modlog.txt?

anyone know why my game is crashing on launch, when i open it a window pops up that has the knight's head with a little small red and white exclamation icon on him then the window closes and the application stops working
you either need to downpatch your game or get the 1.5 modinstaller
where's the former

thanks
I have a question regarding the custom knight mod.
How can i install scarab?
So I have the custom knight mod installed, as well as some skins, but I cant change the skins, and from all what I'm finding it doesn't look like how it does ofr some of the YouTube videos I have watched.
Unless things changed...
what patch are you on
1.4.3.2
do you have modcommon
yes.
Are you using HKMP?
What is that?
#archived-modding-help message do this but just delete the files pertaining to customknight
I installed scarab but when i extract it theres no file to run help
screenshot the stuff you extracted
you need windows.zip not the source code
I dont get it but ok

ok so i have the 1.5 scrabb and it doesnt have randomizer?
correct it's not out for scarab, you need to downpatch to 1.4 and use a 1.4 installer
3rd pin will show you how to downpatch
what file are you downloading on the github site
can you screenshot the site
Ok ok sorry
i downloaded it
Thank you for helping me
Its the first time i'm trying to get mods
its fine dont be afraid to ask if youre having trouble
So I tried deleting the files that you recommended, but nothing really changed.
If it helps here is a screenshot of what mods I'm running
just to be clear you went here with the game closed and deleted anything that had customknight in the name (customknight.globalsettings.json and .bak) and then re-launched the game
Yes.
#archived-modding-help message can you got your game files, inside HKdata > mods > customknight >inside a skin folder
then screenshot with the path included?
was it customknight/skinfolder/anotherfolder/.png
yes\
ez fix at least
np
hahah i need help again so i ddownloaded the mod installer for 1.4.3.2 or something like thayt download the mods changed the beta thing or version to the right one and changed path to the correct, its not working
may i get some help?
oh wait i might have got it
i got it
nvm thanks
where to download ItemSync 1.3.0 and Hkmp 0.72 for 1.4
is there somewhere else to find mods apart from the modinstaller?
whoever controls this stuff add this
||https://github.com/ShaduDev/HollowKnight.Multiworld||
to the modinstaller
HKMP pinned in this channel, itemsync pinned in #modding-discussion
do you have vasi installed?
yes
you're missing multiworldlib
thanks
is there a way to use modinstaller but be on 64 bit?
it shouldn't matter
you're talking about downpatching? it doesn't matter if you're 32 or 64 bit
yeah but
what like 64 bit patch can i use?
cause my options are like public beta and 1.4.3.2
oh, you mean how it says "32 bit compatibility" on 1.4.3.2 when downpatching?
yeah
If anything, I'd assume that means that 1.4.3.2 is a legacy compatibility version for those with 32 bit systems, and that that needs to exist for compatibility since newer versions are 64 bit only.
But regardless of the actual reason, it doesn't matter, ignore it
I have heard of people having lag issues on 1.4.3.2, but even if that's the cause, I don't think there's much you can do to fix it
with 1.4.3.2 hkmp i cant see the other person. we are connected with hamachi and have put in the ip from "copy ipv4" on hamachi. one of us is hosting and the other is connecting. the rando works tho, when he gets an item i see it collected but i dont see him :(
also i cant pick up geo
you can use the public server
doesnt that mean there will be like 40 people doing things tho?
highly doubtful
18.189.16.129, but i think i'm reading it may be down atm, you can try though
wait nvm i misread lmao
should it not be?
youre correct
Yeah, hkmp server is diff
And you can use the PVP one, which has significantly less people on it
and just be on the same team
or the co-op one, which usually has ~5-10 people on it at a time
ok still cant pick up geo
0 is pvp
what mods d oyou have installed
Download and run this script: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/900956017951649822/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
It'll delete all of your globalsettings files for mods
which, some of them can cause that when they donk up
are you in godseeker mode by chance
and does it persist after exiting to main menu / coming back
i restarted the game
i uninstalled hollow point to see if i could heal again but i can’t anyone know how to fix it
@agile crown 
ty but does it work for mac as well
I realise this modding goes deeper than I could have ever expected.
okok tysm
The background is now imvisible in my game.
i cant collect geo
In the options... in mods... there is nothimg now
but debuggin mod works
My skin isnt changed anymore
How to fix

Hey guys i need your help. i tried to install a room randomizer and now my pc always crashes when i play hollow knight(after 2-5 min of playing). i have already reinstalled the whole game and deleted everything in the folder AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry exept for the save file but it didnt help. i used the modinstaller 1 for 1.4.3.2(windows only)
so i think there is something wrong with my save file. does anyone know the problem and/or how to fix this? thanks in advance
Have you got it to work without mods on 1432?
no i have already deinstalled all mods and it still dosent work
Right click hollow knight in Steam > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
Have you done this?
no but i will try
1 min
it didnt show any error or anything but i will try if it helped
After you do this your hand will be entirely unmodded. If it isn't working, then your problem is with the performance of the game itself rather than any modding. You could try upgrading back to the current patch, and assuming that works, you could try using mods on that. You'll simply have to wait until Rando gets updated to 1.5 at that point.
its running without a problem till now so i trhink it worked
tanmkn yo soooooo much i love you ❤️
shit 30 sec later my pc crashed again
i dont think iots the perfomance i have got an i5 6600k and an r9 390x also my temperatures are fine and nothing is used for more than 40% if i can believe task manager
I had similar problems at some point with my pc soon after installing mods, it might have had nothing to do with it, most likely was. But it kinda stopped after a few reboots, so idk just restart your computer a bunch of time, check if your drivers are up to date
Ok will Do that sadly i have to go to work now but i will Update you later thanks for All the Hints
Hi
Hi I was trying to play HK and I got errors with mods
This is the log inside ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/Old ModLogs
I'm using mac m1, and HK 1.4.3.2 patch
Does somebody knows how to fix this?
Looks like you have two copies of a bunch of mods for a start
You are likely also missing Vasi
There's vasi in modinstaller
About having two copies of mods, how can I solve it or check what is wrong? I installed all the mods using mod installer.
Screenshot your mods folder
In that folder with the assembly files and mods folder, are there other folders?
No
Okay this is looking correct
Apart from this text at the top, do your mods actually work?
It could end up being purely visual
When I start HK, there were two cases
(1) Two copies of mods appear, and mods not work
(2) It seems normal, mods work, then game suddenly dies after a few minutes
And I'm now trying again, and it's working without any errors...?
It's almost like it's parsing your mods, not finding the library, loading the library and then trying again?
I dunno, that doesn't sound like computers
Okay I've been playing for 5 minutes now and it's working fine somehow. Thanks a lot and sorry for bothering!
I have a question about sprite packer...
Is it possible to make sprites that are larger than the original?
does someone know where i can find the trans tiktik mod? (tiktik with the trans colors) i can't find it anywhere-
thank u :D
why custom knight crashes my game?
im modding my game using scarab but the only mod that is loading is hkmp what is wrong with it?
is there a mod (or some other method) that allows to replay White Palace? (v1.5)
I only see a mod for Birthplace in the pastebin
im modding my game using scarab but the only mod that is loading is hkmp what is wrong with it?
nvm i got it working
Check mod option and reload skin, also put skin folder in customknight folder
I figured it out
Ok
Thanks tho :)
No problem
What is hkmp?
hollow knight multiplayer
No but you can still mod the game and play other mods

Np
the uuwuu mod is failing to load. i can't find anything in modlog.txt but i think i'm missing it so i'll upload the file here. i'm assuming i'm missing one of the dependencies?
also i don't understand why there are 2 uuwuu's
ok i have installed the program and also some mods but now if i try to launch the game from steam i get an error window that tells me the game must close and it generates a crash report.
Screenshot the crash, mods, patch
Hkmp and more saves could have broke it
k i'll disable them and check
okok i have fixed it i just needed to launch the installer before running steam thank you anyways
disabled both and it still failed to load
Why is Uuwuu two times installed
Scarab installer, only the debug mod
V1.5.68.11808
i don't know either 
Buy the game
@novel bronze delete them from your mod folder and reinstall them
uuwuu requires modcommon, sfcore, and frogcore
modinstaller says frogcore is enabled but it doesnt show up on the title
sfcore and modcommon are also enabled
alright
still nope. is it incompatible with one of the ones i have installed? also why are there 2?
requires frogcore
shouldn't be needed
screenshot your mods folder
try deleting weaver core
Is this where the ModInstaller creator is?
still doesn't work. should i send the modlog.txt?
eu quero instalar o mod multiplayer no meu hollow knight, mas a minha versão de HK não é original
try uninstalling frogcore and reinstalling
i want to install multiplayer mod on my hollow knight, but my HK version is not original
buy the game. and this server is english only
but someone wouldn't be able to inform me in which programming language modInstaller was programmed? then I could create the mod for the game myself so that it would work in the pirated version
frogcore isn't showing up here? modinstaller says it's enabled though
well, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling frog core but it doesn't work still. am i missing any dependencies?
no
Where did you get Uuwuu.
i listed them all. you have all 3
You seem to have 1.5 mods installed as well as 1.4
modinstaller
which ones are 1.5?
Where did you get Vasi? Scarab or mod installer?
the ones in folders are 1.5
Satchel for a start. The file structure of all the ones in folders
Hi! anyone knows where i can find the link to install the modinstaller?

should i delete the vasi in the folder and reinstall it using modinstaller? i think the vasi in the folder is from scarab
please, can someone tell me what language modInstaller was built in 
buy the game
I'm poor
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Nobody cares stop spamming this channel
here's the updated modlog.txt if it helps? is the issue with frogcore?
have you tried fighting uumuu
just to see if it works anyways
looks like a journal entry isn't created, but it might still run
in my country the only way to buy the game is to subscribe to a gaming platform, and you have to pay monthly, and it's not cheap
i tried fighting uumuu already but i'll try again after doing all these things
you could also try deleting your globalsettings files where you're grabbing the modlog from
don't think that'll be the issue here though
i installed the zip called windows from scarab 1.5.5 what do i need to do now
unzip it
by what you put in
o
thx i did it ;D
btw can u play with others online in hkmultiplayer or only lan?
yes
Its online
yeah it's just the regular uumuu fight
do you have vasi installed?
yes
there doesn't even seem to be an option for it
I added a mod like a while ago (err 2020) and I have completely forgot how to open it or my game need an update
try using this frogcore. replace the one that's in your mods folder
to use the multiplayer mod u cannot have any other mods? also how to check if it is working?
check the pins
you can have other mods
it's working if you see the people you're playing with
finally thanks 
- Thanks, the customskin mods works again
- I have 100% forgot how to open the debug mod ingame
default keybind is f1 i think
my f1 key doesn't work and only mute my pc

Instructions on Hollow Knight Multiplayer mod? Are they in pins somewhere?
ye
ok
yes
Everytime i try to download a skin for the custom knight mod mcacfee saying its a virus or something
What do i do?
tell it it's not
I tried a different one and it work maybe its that specific skin maybe?
Mcafee is often considered a virus itself, so I really wouldn't trust anything it says 
^
It's possible it flagged a skin if this skin included a .zip or .dll something? A few of the twp skins have some extra stuff in them.
I think it’s more that it’s a programme that is not downloaded often, I know that browser always flag those as viruses
do you have backups turned on?
btw, anyone here is free to @ me if they want help with my tutorial or making sprites :)
Hey, i wanted to know: what is the process of setting HKMP up on radmin?
any reason you're not using zerotier or hamachi?
you don't set up hkmp on any vpn. you use the vpns to connect to others and then use the IP address from the vpn anywhere the HKMP instructions tell you to
the process for all of them is essentially the same
Does ModInstaller support the game pass version?
no
Thanks
I Askede for help earlier today and couldnt finish up all of the advise. But in the end the game is now working again. So i just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me <3

is this the way to go to 1.4.3.2?
Yep
The guide above is pretty bizarre
This doesn't seem to work FYI
this is old, unproven to work, and was written before the 1.5 patches were released
and even then, the 1.5 patch that xbox has is different
and wouldn't work anyway
ah, rip
oh yeah thats broken

that's not possible
why ?

well hornet is an entirely different character so it makes it's own sprite sheet and hitboxes to go with it lol
so it's a hornet skin with appropriate hitbox ?

u need to go to library go to properties betas and chose 1.4.something-32 bit
mhm
i cracked it once but i bought the game on steam and am now on the real version
you need to yeet the cracked one and then reset your installer #archived-modding-help message
and select the different path
gatcha
wait for installation
Its downloading
and then try again with mod intaller
if only there was like, an outlined way to do it, in the pinned messages
hahahahah
Im sorrrry
dw
Im slowww
i m here to help
Thank you so much
now zaliant i have a question how do i use scarab mod installer
double click the .exe
does it do nothing
no it does
launch it
but how do i install mods
when i press
install it doesnt do anything
they all have question mark next to eachother
nope
ok so i installed the installer for patch 1432 and its saying i need to be on the most recent version
u need to buy it
did u do all the thing i told last guy to do
it looks like the API didnt get installed, otherwise modding api would show up top left, try resetting it #archived-modding-help message
It's possible there's an answer out there that I couldn't find, but does anyone know how to augment a save file so that it can connect to a MultiWorld / ItemSync server?
My theory was that the information for the lobby is housed within the .json file itself, and while it seems to be the case, changing any ItemSync values seems to have no effect and is auto-reverted
yeah
oh goodness theres a lot of mods
lmao
you don't augment a save file, it only works through new saves since it needs to generate the randomization at save creation
3rd pin
i dont know then
ill figure it out
i think i made a mistake
when downloading
do i just download windows zip from github
does that have anything to do with the multiworld server though? I'm not trying to make a standard save have randomized levels, but rather be compatible with item sharing / multiworld item sharing
or do i need something more?
yes, common mistake is most people grab the source code instead of OS.zip
make sure when you extract it, scarab is in the folder with it's supporting files, if it still doesn't work, move that folder to the desktop and try running as admin
i see
where can i find modding api for 1.2.2.1
#speedrunning for that, or ask on the SR server
details on how to do item-sync should be the first pin over in #modding-discussion
you also wont need the server since there is a public one, which is outlined further down in that pin, the room name will differ who plays with you
yeah i tried it still no different results
can you head to your game files in H_K_data and delete the files that have assembly-sharp in them, then verify the files via steam, then reset the installer, and then finally re-run the installer
I actually have the mod running already and have my own private server for it, however, the problem I had was that one of our players somehow had their character become disassociated with the MultiWorld server, and was forced to create a new save so that they could continue to play with us
in that regard, I was hoping that it might be possible to force a character to be able to connect to the MultiWorld server, randomized or not
even the re-joining wasnt working?
correct
i see what you mean now, but to give bad news i don't think that is an option, if rejoining is proving not to work, i think the only option is for everyone to restart
to be more clear, their first character which had significant progress was no longer able to connect to the MultiWorld server
and since you can't manage any of the connection URL settings after generating the save, we couldn't resolve it... forcing them to just make a new character and continue playing
?
i m really sorry for your friend but at leat its easier to do it for the second time
yeah the generation will be tied to that save file iirc, so even if he jumps in with a new character if someone gets an item for them, it wont transfer over, the only thing you could probably do is debug stuff in(?)
That’s just saying it detected modified files and is replacing them with the original
still not good
@wheat orchid solve this for me i'm not smart enough 😔
I love my internet rn
even after deleting the assemblies, clearing the MI, verifying, and relaunching
Brb
I think my old files from cracked version are fcking with this one
i went and downgraded it to beta
make sure all cracked versions are 100% deleted
i did
documents
control panel
even aditional program that is checking for the remaining files
Back, better internet
Ofc scarab doesn’t work on the beta, it’s for the most recent ver
Nvm I misunderstood
So clicking installed? On any mod while the game is closed doesn’t work?
yes
any mod
literally any
just doesnt d anything
but the apliccation is responsive
Could you screenshot scarab with the installed mods shown?
That or any installed mod
Could you screenshot it with a mod with installed? Checked?

i guess well never know who acually helped me
you or zaliant
Well I’ve seen enough today imma go do game stuff
Wdym
after another test, I can't believe I didn't notice that late joiners are connected to a different session. it's unfortunate that you can't just connect to the same session in progress even if you're not at the same point, but I appreciate the info regardless 
does it apply to new world only or any already saved one
You manually put all skins in CustomKnight

I just downpatched my game to 1.2.2.1, is it safe to play my other worlds that were in the newest patch?
its gonna undo godhome
you can download a 112% save with everything from speedrun.com/hollowknight
if I switched back to the most recent patch every time I entered the world it would be fine right
- Close your game
- Download and run this file (assuming you're on Windows)
- When it's done, open game again.
dude my game opens and closes immediately with mod installer 2 and i don't know why
hey that worked thank you
welp just going to reinstall the game, hope that helps
i tried 1.4 too
it just opens vanillla
If you downpatch after opening installer 2 and not updating the API, that's not surprising
Click the orange update box
Hi all, I'm running 1.4.3.2 and want to try the enemy randomizer mod. It seems to be installed fine (recognized in the game) and it's enabled. I can also change its settings in the menu... but there doesn't seem to be any randomization of the enemies. Any thoughts?
Sorry, I'm having a hard time finding it.
It doesn't seem to be in title screen? or the options?
Its currently 2880x1800, full screen on my laptop.
Change it to 1080
Hmm, the only other option I have is 1440x900, which doesn't lead to the button showing up. Oh well.
Does that at least have the top left text not cut off?
Yes - the screenshot was just cutoff.
Hey guys, is there a mod for a recent item counter? I saw it in a video and I wanted to know how to get it. Thank you
Hey, so I might have done something wrong, I installed Mantis Gods mod but when I fight the sisters of battle it is still the normal fight
you cant be in godseeker mode
I tried it in godhome on a completed save as well. The only modification was that the ranged attack was very fast but all other aspects of the fight were the same
what patch are you on, what modinstaller, what other mods
Latest patch, scarab mod installer, I have corrupted Kin, Inferno King Grimm, MantisGods, and Pale Prince
and debug mod
All the other mods work
i believe you need vasi, and/or modcommon
sorry, I didn't mention the support libraries. I have Vasi and WeaverCore
try grabbing modcommon
where can I get it from, it isn't in Scarab's list
satchel (it's modcommon for 1.5)
me and my friend want to play rando together
we did everything right
but the hkmp stuff doesnt appear in the game so i can make a server
we are both using the 1.4 mod manager and hkmp is manually installed
where did you get hkmp
screenshot title screen
why is the room rando not randomizing rooms only items
did you set it to room
how
click on the UI that sets it
yeah i dont see that
screenshot
yeah looks like everything is correct, i'm not sure why it's not showing up
i know this one works maybe you could try it
Hey Zaliant, so I tried completely uninstalling all mods and then only installing mantis gods and the support libraries (Vasi and Satchel) and it still didn't work.
Thanks for your help but I think I'll just leave it
we figured out how to get room rando and item rando to work
but i made a new save with all the right settings
and the mp stuff isnt showing up :/
it was before
we will try ur download
i know it works on 1.4 so maybe you could try just downpatching and doing it there, but why it's not working on 1.5 idk
yeah, that is what I assume
was it the .dll
so
um
we got the ui to show up in the game
but whenever i start hosting using https://geroyuni.notion.site/Hosting-to-friends-on-the-internet-c0dd5f2ad95a4bdb93a22e09224db781 what this guide says
his game say he cant connect
have you done this step?
yeop
and you're both connected to the zerotier network?
I made this guide for some friends a few weeks ago, might be useful
try connecting to the public server and seeing if that works
if it does, it's an issue with zerotier, if not, it's an issue with hkmp
ok
it didnt work ;(
what is itemsync
it says adress is empty when we try
when i put in his ip (we switched the person hosting) it says address empty
you shouldn't be using your personal ip, you should be using the managed ip in zerotier
it's another mod, you don't need it
neither of you could connect to these?
oh eyah that says address empty too
send a ss of it saying address empty
me too
but i dont mod any game ever
and i want to get into some mods, e.g. kaizo, randomized

mod installer 2?
for rando, yes
randomizer is only available for 1.4
requires downpatching
or you can use modinstaller 1 if you have windows
either works fine
i restarted the game, put in the correct info for connecting to the public server (on 1.4.3.2, my friend is as well) and it says connection failed

I have Vasi installed and game is on latest patch
this is 1.4
ooh I have to update api to 1.5? I've had it on 1.4 for multiplayer stuff
did you manually install this? cause this looks like the 1.5 version
yeah, have to manually install crowd control since they don't support gog auto configure
if I try to install crowd control from mod manager, it errors
is hollow twitch on the modlist
can i use multiplayer on 1.5?
where are save files located on steam? i have the hollow knight folder open but idk which files are my save files. (i wanna back up my save incase mods mess it up somehow
is hkmp on there?

is hkmp on scarab
no
yeah it is, but afaik that's a different mod from the new official crowd control. I've used hollow twitch before
thanks. i guess that's a common question
yes
anything specific mods i should have on for multiplayer>
?
hollow twitch will serve on 1.4 but i think if you want this you'll need to update to 1.5? unsure
yeah I was wondering if api needed updating to 1.5 for crowd control, was hoping it would be fine with 1.4 but is brand new so I guess they went straight to using 1.5
it should auto-install any dependencies
this is #archived-modding-help
how do i start a multiplayer server?
