[night bane]

i am having issues with scarab. When i click to download a mod, it waits a few seconds and crashes

[solar atlas]

Same thing

I was having this

[solar atlas]

You have legal current patch?

If you have hollow knight from gamepass it will not work

[night bane]

what do you mean legal?

and i have it on steam

[solar atlas]

You can have cracked hollow knight so im asking

[night bane]

i dont

[solar atlas]

And you have current patch?

[night bane]

presumably, i just deleted and redownloaded it like 10 minutes ago

[robust kestrel]

[night bane]

okay, actually had some mods already downloaded from before i deleted HK, but when I load up the game, none of the mods worked

[real jacinth]

which button are you pressing? and is your game open when installing?

you should be pressing the installed? box

[night bane]

i am

[real jacinth]

and not the enabled box

[night bane]

yes

[real jacinth]

and scarab is still crashing?

[night bane]

yes

[real jacinth]

is your game open

[night bane]

no

[real jacinth]

does it give an error

[night bane]

i think there might be one in the files

yeah there are, they are really long though

[real jacinth]

upload it

[loud breach]

do you have to down patch to play with mods?

[real jacinth]

no

[cinder eagle]

how do i put custom knight files into custom knight

[real jacinth]

copy -> paste

[night bane]

how do i upload to discord

[real jacinth]

drag the file into this window

or click the plus button

[real jacinth]

right click your game in steam -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity

then open scarab again after

[bleak fractal]

How do I uninstall this mod?

[real jacinth]

what mod

[bleak fractal]

I mean this Hollow knight Mod software

[real jacinth]

delete it

[bleak fractal]

Oo that's all, thanks

[real jacinth]

the installer doesn't do anything when you don't actively run it though

where'd you get the game

what mods did you install

do you see a loading bar? does it generate an error?

[novel bronze]

Is there a way to have multiple versions of hollow knight downloaded on steam

i want a mod version on 1.5

and a speedrun version for 1.2.2

[real jacinth]

yes

?guides

[dense shuttle]

https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guides

[real jacinth]

read the downpatching guide. specifically the multiple installed patches paragraph

so what's the error

[novel bronze]

olk thanks

[real jacinth]

so what's in the log

[night bane]

sorry that took a while, my steam properites glitched out. it said sucessfully validated

[novel bronze]

do i have to redownload each time

cos on downpatching guide

[real jacinth]

no

[novel bronze]

says nothing bout having multiple patches

wait

[real jacinth]

yes it does

[novel bronze]

mb

i didnt see the scroll bar

thanks!

[loud breach]

what does scarab do?

[real jacinth]

install mods

[loud breach]

why would i use scarab over the other installer

[solar atlas]

It works on current patch

[real jacinth]

b/c scarab is for 1.5

other installers are for 1.4.3.2

[loud breach]

coolio thanks for the help

[midnight jay]

hello

anyone here?

I need help with a scarab mod

[solar atlas]

Scarab is mod launcher not mod

And what help do you need?

[midnight jay]

I can't get onto the mantis gods

[solar atlas]

What do you mean?

[midnight jay]

I have it installed and enabled

But I don't know how to get onto the boss fight at all

[solar atlas]

Godhome

[midnight jay]

I'm there

[solar atlas]

Hidden late game area

[midnight jay]

I'm in hall of gods

[solar atlas]

Fight with mantis lords or with sisters of battle

[midnight jay]

I've beenn doing that

but It appears normal

[real jacinth]

have you tried entering the fight? are you in a godseeker save file?

[midnight jay]

I am

in godseeker

[real jacinth]

boss mods don't work on that mode

you have to use a normal save

[midnight jay]

oh ok

thanks

Do I have to go onto sisters of battle to activate it or just mantis lords

on my normal save

[real jacinth]

either iirc

[spice sable]

If a mod isn't on Scarab but is on one the 1.4 modinstaller, is it for sure incompatible or is it worth trying to install manually?

[real jacinth]

like what

if it's not on scarab, it probably won't work on 1.5

[spice sable]

Grimmchild upgrades for example

Actually, scratch that, can mods be installed manually in 1.5 to begin with? Would it work to just place the dll in a folder like the other mods are?

[real jacinth]

that would be how you do it, yes.

but there's only like.... 2 mods that have 1.5 ports that aren't on scarab

so make sure it's been updated before you manually install

[placid minnow]

I cant download randomizer 3, can someone help?

[real jacinth]

which installer are you using

[placid minnow]

8.7.1 by Gradow

[real jacinth]

did you downpatch your game

[placid minnow]

Yes

[real jacinth]

so what's the actual issue

[placid minnow]

I press the install button and it says download completed, but when i press ok it shows an error message and doesnt download

[real jacinth]

what's the error

[placid minnow]

The error nessage says that it is being used by another process

[real jacinth]

"it" being what

is your game open

[placid minnow]

No

It is the file for the randomizer

[real jacinth]

screenshot the error

[placid minnow]

Sorry for the bad picture

[real jacinth]

close the installer and reopen it

and any other duplicate instances of it you have

if it doesn't work after reopening it, go to your mods folder and delete the randomizer zip, then try again

[eager cliff]

How can you tell the HKMP mod is working? and how can i set it up so i can do randomizer with my friends?

[real jacinth]

hkmp is working if you can see each other

to play randomizer with friends, you set that up separately

either play the same seed, use itemsync, or multiworld

[eager cliff]

is there a guide to set up the multiplayer randomizer?

[real jacinth]

which version of it

[eager cliff]

1.4.3.2

[spice sable]

Okay yeah if the mod isn't 1.5 compatible it won't show up at all in the main menu after manually installing it. I tried the most recent nexus HK mod for comparison and it showed up, though I got a "Failed to call contructor" error

[real jacinth]

which version of randomizer are you trying to set up to play? aka.... what do you mean by "multiplayer randomizer"

[placid minnow]

It is downloading, but it is at 0.00mb/0.00mb and not changing

[eager cliff]

randomizer 3, want to play like fireb0rn and the others in the 5 player and 7 player randomizer streams

i hope that kind of clears it up a bit

[real jacinth]

it doesnt

randomizer 3: you can play "multiplayer" by all using the same seed
item sync: a randomizer add on that gives an item to all players when 1 person picks it up (aka... you're all working on the same instance together)
multiworld: all people's items are mixed together in a big pot and distributed throughout all games. you can find items that belong to other people, but you won't be given that item unless your copy of it is found by yourself or in someone else's world

these are all ways to play "multiplayer"

[real jacinth]

did you delete the zip?

or did you just close and re-open the installer

what have you done?

[placid minnow]

I deleted the zip and re-opened it

[real jacinth]

and your game isn't open? did you check taskmanager to ensure only 1 instance of the installer is running?

[placid minnow]

My game is closed and there is only one instance of the downloader

Two*

[eager cliff]

it worked, thank you :D

[eternal dirge]

Hey guys, quick question as search doesn't yield any results:
Is it possible to reconnect to item sync? Either after disconnection or after continuing the game?

[placid minnow]

The download window and the laucher itself

[real jacinth]

Close your installer, delete the zip again, restart your PC, and try again. Also, your installer exe should be on your desktop if it isn't already

[real jacinth]

Yes

Assuming not everyone has left the room

If everyone leaves it's destroyed iirc

[eternal dirge]

Ah, alright. Thanks!

[abstract wedge]

Hi, i downloaded hollow point mod, but when i play i have no gun :/

[loud breach]

any particular reason this skin says it needs two hours to transfer from my downloads into my skins folder?

[real jacinth]

your pc is slow?

[real jacinth]

does the mod name show up top left of main menu?

[abstract wedge]

Yes it does

[loud breach]

it isnt my pc lol. i can move any other skin and it works fine. this pink bow 2.0 skin for some reason says 2 hours estimated time

[solar atlas]

New file

Make new file

Should help

[abstract wedge]

Make new file ?

[solar atlas]

Yes

In menu

Start new game

[abstract wedge]

Oh yes that's what i did

but no gun

[mortal drum]

i've never installed mods in any steam game before so idrk what im doing, but can i keep two instances of the game somehow, one modded, one not?

[eternal dirge]

Aight, maybe it's not so clear... How do they reconnect? Because making new save and connecting to same room name doesn't cut it.

[solar atlas]

You have hollow point hud?

[solar atlas]

If you have scarab just disable mods

[abstract wedge]

Nop

[solar atlas]

Settings

[abstract wedge]

Everything is enabled

[solar atlas]

In in game Hollow Point settings?

And what installer are you using?

Scarab or mod installers

[abstract wedge]

mod installers

[solar atlas]

You have downpatched game?

[abstract wedge]

Yes, every mod that i tested so far worked

[real jacinth]

you reconnect using the save you were using

the readme/itemsync page should have more info

[real jacinth]

hollow point doesn't work on a fresh save. make the save, quit out of it, then go back into it

[abstract wedge]

Ooh okay thanks

[eager cliff]

We got everything to work, we can play together but itemsync isnt working, how can i fix this?

[real jacinth]

do it correctly?

dunno what you did, so....

[eager cliff]

we added itemsync to our mod folder, dont know if this is the right way to do it.

[real jacinth]

did you connect to a server ip and room in game?

when you started a new save?

do you have only item sync in addition to randomizer?

like, what'd you do

[hallow venture]

i am usin scarab rn and i can't click and select any of the mods?

how do i enable them from the list?

[real jacinth]

you click install

enable will auto-check when they finish downloading

[hallow venture]

there's no option

hol up i'm an idiot

[hallow venture]

yeaaaahhhh it's working now XD

tysm

[eager cliff]

we got the randomizer with HKMP to work so we can see eachother, but when we pick up an item it doesnt give it to the other player, we put the itemsync.dll in the mods folder.

we started both our saves before we connected to the server

[real jacinth]

which server

you need to connect to both hkmp AND itemsync servers

if you started a randomizer save and didn't connect to an itemsync room/server, then it'll just be normal randomizer files

[eager cliff]

we used zerotier, i think we only connected to the HKMP server then

[zinc plume]

is there a linux variant of the MultiWorldServer.exe?
I would like to run it on my raspberry pi

[abstract wedge]

@plucky kestrel hi sorry to bother you, i have problem with the enemy randomizer mod x) It doesn't randomise ^^

[night bane]

is blackmoth on 1.5

[minor lynx]

are achievements enabled still when mods are enabled?

[west bane]

If it is it'll be on scarab

[night bane]

nuts, its not

[eager cliff]

how do i get an itemsync server?

[west bane]

What's mods do you have. What version is your game. What exact issue are you having

[real jacinth]

did you click the load enemies button on the top left of title screen?

[abstract wedge]

Well i have custom knigh, benchwarp, hollow point, ennemy randomizer, rendomizer mod.

I can change the settings of the mod but it doesn't do anything ig

and i cannot find the "load ennemies button ont the top left"

[real jacinth]

restart your game

[real jacinth]

https://github.com/Shadudev/HollowKnight.MultiWorld

[eager cliff]

thank you

[frozen hamlet]

I downloaded hollow knight multiplayer and this popped up, can someone explain what it is?

[west bane]

For connecting to the multiplayer server?

[frozen hamlet]

idk, all I know is that I have these mods installed

[west bane]

Hkmp is recommended

[frozen hamlet]

whats Hkmp?

[vocal kiln]

is there a site or doc where i can see the description of every mod? hopefully detailed with what they change

[eager cliff]

trying this, we set up all the settings the same, seed the same, and room the same, but my friend doesnt start when he clicks start game

[night bane]

on madinstaller one, it says "game files not found"

i have bone the beta bacup thing, and fully downloaded it

i do have it (the game) on an external drivee, if that matters

[native ice]

It's mainly for 1.4 mods, for 1.5 you can click the arrow next to the mod name in scarab for a brief description.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/edit?usp=sharing

[native ice]

Does it show both player names in the room before pressing start?

[native ice]

First make sure your mod installer is on your desktop and ran as administrator. If that doesn't work then try resetting your installer (#archived-modding-help message) and then make sure you path it to the correct game files

[steep finch]

Hey, im the guy trying to connect with @eager cliff. It doenst even say im in the room

[native ice]

did you press ready?

[steep finch]

Yes

[mental sphinx]

Hey, i downloaded scarab, and it doesnt work. when i open scarab, it just stays on a grey screen instead of giving me all the options. can anyone help or has this happened to anyone else. ive tried restarting my computer, redownloading scarab, redownloading hollow knight. and a couple other things. Plz help me

[native ice]

Are you sure you put the same room name, it's case sensitive, even though it looks like it's always capitalized it's not, caps letters are larger

[steep finch]

Yes we did, but then it should still say atleast im in my own room. So under ready it should say my name as joined

[night bane]

what are the customknight dependencies?

[native ice]

Depends on your game version, for 1.4 it's modcommon, for 1.5 it's satchel

[vocal kiln]

what are the main differences between Hell Mod and God Soul?

i can't find the description anywhere

[west bane]

#modding-discussion pins has a collection of readmes

[vocal kiln]

i can't find those in that collection, i can't seem to find any scarab mods descriptions

[west bane]

hell mod is on there

[night bane]

has anyone seen a pure vessell customknight skin?

[vocal kiln]

at least i haven't seen one, i just stick with Grimm Knight until i find a vessel knight or a better looking one

[real jacinth]

#effort

[vocal kiln]

nice, i still don't know how to navigate this server

[spice sable]

There's 2 pure vessel ones lol the other one is called "the hollow knight" but is visually almost identical

[turbid skiff]

why i have no skins? pls help

[novel bronze]

when i load hollow knight and try speedrun it doesnt let me use my nail at the beginning

[real jacinth]

mouse controls?

[novel bronze]

ye

[real jacinth]

that's why

[spice sable]

Everything you need is under pinned messages in #archived-modding-help or #modding-discussion

[novel bronze]

is there a fix?

[vocal kiln]

thanks

[real jacinth]

use blue.exe

or don't bind nail to mouse

[novel bronze]

blue.exe?

[real jacinth]

look in #resources

or on speedrun.com

[novel bronze]

also livesplit started my vengeful spirit after leaving kings pass

[real jacinth]

this doesn't have anything to do with modding

[novel bronze]

srry

[real jacinth]

check out the server pinned in #speedrunning

[novel bronze]

thanks

[real jacinth]

options -> mods -> customknight

[turbid skiff]

oh

thanks

[halcyon zenith]

This question has probably been asked many times, but the mod installer tells me that i don't have the game up to date, but I already have the latest version, so the installer doesn't let me usr the mod manager

[novel bronze]

[real jacinth]

[real jacinth]

you run it. and set keybinds in game to whatever blue exe has them as

it sets mouse keys to a couple keyboard keys. i forget which

[novel bronze]

its just this

[real jacinth]

yes, and?

when that's running, LMB and RMB now output as keyboard keys

h and t I believe

so you set those in game

[novel bronze]

oh ok

[lament hornet]

anyone know if exist a mod for training :

[real jacinth]

what upgrades do you want off?

debug mod can change a lot

[narrow pollen]

What does CompanionCloth do?

[real jacinth]

[glass owl]

I'm new to modding and I just wanna know that if you join another person with multiplayer, do the bosses you've done reset to his point in the game? Kinda like dark souls

[merry pier]

Multiplayer just make the player interact

The ennemi, bosses and any map change that might occurred won’t affect the other player

[glass owl]

So if I go to a boss that I've done but not the other person, will they fight the boss but not me

[merry pier]

Yeah

[glass owl]

Alright that makes more sense

[merry pier]

If you hit the air you might accidentally hit the other player boss tho

[mossy coral]

which randomizer should i download

[glass owl]

I also wanted to know if the ai for enemies act the same, like the enemy will be in the same place and using the same attack as the other person

[real jacinth]

no

there is no enemy sync

[glass owl]

Alright

[real jacinth]

each enemy instance is independent.

[glass owl]

Thanks

[mossy coral]

im guessing 3

[real jacinth]

are you on 1432 then?

[lusty jungle]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there a simple way to turn off the HUD?

[real jacinth]

debug mod

[lusty jungle]

Cool, is that easy to add? I'm guessing there will be a YouTube video out there that'll show me how 😅

[merry pier]

You should have everything here in the pin

YouTube guide are almost all outdated to some extent

[lusty jungle]

Ah cool, I'll check the pins. Thanks for the help guys ☺️

[west bane]

which guide

[real jacinth]

most only refer to installer 1 or 2

not sure a scarab video guide even exists

[lusty jungle]

Ah cool, the whole modding scene from HK is new to me.

[real jacinth]

installing is very easy. just open the appropriate installer program and click on what you want

[lusty jungle]

Awesome! I'll literally just be using it to remove the HUD as I'm creating a YouTube video / short and figured turning off the HUD would be easier than me painting it out after capturing

[real jacinth]

the keybind for it will be in the menu middle-right of the screen

i think it's backspace?

for the hud

debug does a lot of things

[lusty jungle]

Cheers dudey, the help is greatly appreciated ☺️

[modern elm]

I got the infinite charm notches mod but when I un installed it it still takes its effects
how do I undo the infinite notches?

[spice sable]

It says on the installer that it can cause permanent effects on your save

I'd say try reinstalling it, then turning it off in the mod menu before uninstalling it again

[modern elm]

I did it a while ago and just back into the game and was wondering if I could somehow modify the files and undo it

[native ice]

I'm not really sure in what way the infinite notches mod effects the save, does it make all charms 0 cost? Cause if so that's easily fixed

[spice sable]

Any idea why Vanilla Map Mod is placing every pin on the map?

It was working properly until today, and reinstalling the game, scarab, the mod files, and the .json files in the save folder hasn't helped so far

[flat tide]

how do i go to the next page in the more saves mod?

[spice sable]

] key

[flat tide]

ty

do you know if the saves will carry over to 1.5?

when i change versions?

i'll still have the mod

[spice sable]

someone said it doesn't make a difference

I think each save creates a 1.4 compatible copy

user1.dat comes with user1_1.4.3.2.dat for example

[flat tide]

ohhh ok

i understand

ty again

[modern elm]

even after I install the newest infinite charms and turn it off I still had infinite charms

[long prawn]

do you need HK on steam for the mod installer?

[wheat orchid]

Did you have infinite charms before using it?

[wheat orchid]

You need it on either steam or gog

[modern elm]

YES

caps

[wheat orchid]

It might be programmed to just return your charms notches to the way they were before using the mod. Unless they implemented it the better way (counting every collected notch from save data, yes that’s stored differently than the amount of charm notches you have)

Either way, 1.5 moresaves has a in game save editor which you can use if it’s not working

[burnt blade]

does anyone know where i can download hamachi

I wanna play randomizer 3.5 on current patch, but it is not working, I've tried multiple things and it hasn't worked, when I go on hollow knight with it installed it gets rid of all my mods, help plz

[limber egret]

Head to your saves folder and delete anything with .globalsettings.json at the end

Should fix it

[latent rampart]

ok i'll try it

[turbid skiff]

there is a place where i can find more skins for custom knight?

no this

[vocal kiln]

is there another difficulty mode not as bullshit as hell mod?

some minions are way too overpowered, even worse than bosses

[wintry shale]

does anyone know why read mes dont work on explorer what doi do to pen it with something else i think i clicked always open with explorer

[charred canyon]

just got custom knight and now im stuck on a bench an cant get off, can someone help me troubleshoot this?

[latent rampart]

thanks @limber egret

[charred canyon]

nvm, it reset my controls for some reason

oh wait? but every time i go to the menu and back it resets?

yea if anyone knows whats happening thatd be gratea

[limber egret]

Open it with notepad

[wintry shale]

ye that works for some of them but i thinked i clicked open with thingy always but oh well its my fault

thanks though

[cedar arrow]

im using hollowpoint but my gun wont shoot any bullets, it only makes an effect and doesnt deal damage. any fix?

[vocal kiln]

any way to disable certain changes from the hell mod? because i can't change the mods in game

there are some shit that's just stupid and make it almost unplayable in certain parts

[cedar arrow]

nevermind i fixed it :D

[wraith sand]

theres some on the description of this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUcgR4QtZm8

[glacial crane]

@sullen bough does the controller work in other games?

[sullen bough]

yes

its only hollow knight that it doesnt work in

and the controller is connected

because when i press the home button

it pulls up steam menus

but eveyr other button has no effect on the game

[sweet shard]

where is the 1.5 installer for mods I can't find it in pins

oh wait I think I found it

[wraith sand]

scarab

[sullen bough]

i was hoping maybe theres a mod that fixes whatever doesnt let my controller work

[sweet shard]

is it this?

[wraith sand]

literally first link in first pin

[wraith sand]

yes

[sweet shard]

ok ty

[glacial crane]

probably not, that's not a common problem afaik, just a case-by-case troubleshooting thing

[sweet shard]

does anyone know how to get the any radiance mod

?

[sullen bough]

well i looked it up and apparently controller issues are super common

on the steam version

[glacial crane]

if you just installed the game recently and don't have much progress in the game you could try uninstalling the game totally and reinstalling, maybe something went wrong there

[sullen bough]

thats actually not a bad idea

im gonna do that

[glacial crane]

if that doesn't work, if you have any other controllers to see if they work with the game or if it's a universal issue, that's worth finding out even if you don't plan to actually use those other controllers

[cedar arrow]

got any mod recommendations?

[glacial crane]

and you've prob already tried this if you were fucking around in configuration for an hour but I'll mention it just in case that if your keyboard works for the game you could map the controller buttons to register as keystrokes, and there'd prob be a little jank playing like that but it would get inputs from the controller to the game

[turbid fiber]

how can i turn on chaos mode for enemy rando

[native ice]

On the title screen, before pressing the load enemy randomizer button, go to the options menu and select the "Enemy Randomizer" button at the bottom (Note: you need to do so with mouse, you can't reach it with controller/keyboard) then just turn on the chaos setting and load the randomizer

[turbid fiber]

thank you so much

[native ice]

Not exactly the channel for this question, but it really depends on what type of mods you're looking for, also what game version you're on

[native ice]

?pins There's a download link for it in the pins, it's a 1.4 mod and it requires mod common

is there any mods that allow me to do path of pain over again?

[limber egret]

QoL

[autumn bone]

oh so if i go back i can do it again?

[limber egret]

Yes

[autumn bone]

ok thx

[short light]

I keep seeing screenshots and video footage of hollow knight rooms without the knight or anything else like geo or masks or soul that would get in the way of the scenery. Is there an invisibility mod that people use or something?

[limber egret]

Debug mod

[short light]

so you use the debug mod to turn everything off except the background?

[limber egret]

You can hide the UI and the Knight, yes

[short light]

awesome thanks. How do you use it?

[native ice]

?i If you mean how do you download it, get scarab from the below message and download it from there. If you mean how to use debug mod, while in-game, pause and you'll be able to interact with the menu, the specific feature you want can be found in the Binds menu in the middle right, scroll through (by clicking the page number) till you find "Hide Hero" then press the hotkey for that

no, I should have it downloaded (i use modinstaller) I'm just wondering like, how you USE it

am i just stupid?

like how do you activate the stuff like invisibility and enemy health bars

[native ice]

Do you see the menu in-game?

[short light]

yknow what

im probably gonna open the game before i ask questions

that might be a good idea

[native ice]

hmmmmMMMMMMMMM

perhaps

[spice sable]

Is there a way to reset scarab like with the other 2 modInstallers?

[native ice]

Yes, it's pretty much the same as mi2, except if you're just trying to change file paths, scarab has a button for that

[spice sable]

I'm trying to fix a mod that worked fine the first time I installed it

I've run out of things I can think of reinstalling and it hasn't fixed it

[native ice]

Then it's almost definitely not an issue with scarab

Describe the actual issue please

[spice sable]

I'm using Vanilla Map Mod

And it's displaying all the new map pins when I make new saves, even in areas I haven't unlocked yet

Even though I haven't purchased the new pins in the first place. They also don't properly react to interacting with the corresponding points on the map (eg. breaking a geo rock won't remove it from the map like it should).
The pins also ignore the pin size settings in the .json file (they're huge and block most of the map)

[native ice]

There's a dedicated modding server you can join, the mod creator has a channel there you can report it directly to them, they might be able to find a fix. A link to the server can be found in the About Me of DwarfWoot, who's got several pinned messages.

[spice sable]

Thank you, I'll check it out

[cinder bone]

ive downpatched my game and installed mod installer 1 (and a few mods inside there) but when launching the game it doesnt launch as modded

[native ice]

1. Did the game give you the team cherry logo at start up/is there a mods tab under the options menu?
2. Open the installer and check at the bottom few buttons if it says "Enable Modding API" if it doesn't that's fine.
3. If 1 and 2 are false try this #archived-modding-help message
4. If 3 didn't help, make sure your installer has the correct game directory

Wait am I supposed to use the dev-channels role? It says that these aren't for asking for support

[native ice]

Yep

[spice sable]

Ah I see it now

[cinder bone]

that worked but now the rando mod is broken

ill try uninstalling and reinstalling

[native ice]

Don't

explain your issue

[spiral condor]

im having a small ammount of trouble with scarab, whenever i boot the hk1.5 it doesnt boot up the mods

[cinder bone]

rando item mod is installed and shows up on the side but doesnt change any items

[native ice]

Rando 3 only works on new saves

[cinder bone]

i made a new save to test it

same geo, same lifeblood, same items

my thing can wait, help out mantin

[native ice]

Try it again, make sure you enabled the settings for those

[cinder bone]

thats another thing, the settings didnt come up

nvm

i feel stupid

[native ice]

@spiral condor This, except ignore 2 and just make sure you've installed a mod

[cinder bone]

i had a different rando mod on

not rando 3

my b

[native ice]

Ah

[spiral condor]

wait which hk directery does it want? appdata, steamapps, or mygames?

[native ice]

Uh, there shouldn't be one in mygames afaik. But it should be in your steam files. Appdata is your save files

[cinder bone]

steamapps > common > hk > hkdata > managed

[cinder bone]

i got it

[native ice]

Stop at HK

[spiral condor]

oh right mygames doesnt have one

[cinder bone]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed

[spiral condor]

i was thinking of managed

[cinder bone]

yeah

[native ice]

Select the Hollow Knight folder, the one that contains hollow_knight_Data

[spiral condor]

and scarab just crashed when i went to install fury fix

[cinder bone]

oof

[spiral condor]

nevermind my internet cut out

crap scarab and original mod installer dont seperate the mods

[misty crest]

whats the difference between scarab and mod installer 2 besides using different patches

[native ice]

Scarab has an extra button I think. But Scarab is also known as mod installer 2.5 (mod installer 2 for 1.5) so,

[misty crest]

errrr what exactly does that mean

[native ice]

It means they're practically the same, scarab is just mod installer 2 but for the latest patch

[misty crest]

ah i see ty

[turbid skiff]

hey there is some place where i can find more skins for custom knight?

[ruby vine]

I enabled modding API and whenever I open the game I'm just met with a black screen

I'm downpatched to 1.4.3.2 and stuff, just can't open the game with modding api enabled

[ruby vine]

narrowed it down to it being stuck on black screen with modding api enabled at all, even if I don't have any mods enabled

[patent hull]

Having an issue with Custom Knight on Scarab
The skins seem to apply just fine, but when I try to unpause the game, it freezes on the grey-ish screen just before I'd gain control. Went through the pin, didn't help.
Anyone else have this, or did I just miss something super basic?

[spice sable]

Thanks again, I got it fixed

[native ice]

I saw

[spice sable]

I've had this too, not sure if it's custom knight specifically

Try unpausing by pressing start instead of the back button

[native ice]

Press the back button, don't use B or Esc or whatever. There's also a mod you can download that can force you out of that, I don't know if the link is in this server tho

[patent hull]

Huh, alright. That only an issue when initially unpausing, or every time I leave menu?

[native ice]

What mods are you trying to get, cause it might just be better to use scarab, and it should also fix your issue

[native ice]

Pretty sure it's every time

[patent hull]

Oh boy, that's going to take some getting used to

with a hard freeze every time I forget ^^;

I'm going to look for that mod fix somewhere tbh

[native ice]

Again, there's a mod to force close the menu. I know it's in the modding server

[patent hull]

👍

[native ice]

A link to the server can be found in the about me of DwarfWoot, who has several pinned messages. Then once there look for EscapeHatch in #resources

[loud breach]

For some reason when I switch to a skin within scarab, my game just freezes when I try to back out of the menu. (I followed all of the steps in the custom knight pinned message or at least tried to)

[ruby vine]

I figured it out, had to download another file for something lmao

[patent hull]

Read directly above, River was just helping me with that one ^^;

[spice sable]

Hold on I can get it for you

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/899325564962344980/EscapeHatch.dll

[patent hull]

Tanka, I'll double check things are working once I get it on

[native ice]

To use it press f3 I think

[patent hull]

yep, that's what the desc said

Does escapehatch.dll just end up directly in mods folder, btw, or do I need to folder it?

[spice sable]

Folder it somewhere (if it's 1.5)

[loud breach]

thanks for pointing me towards that 😂 glad i can finally have this work

[native ice]

If you're on 1.5, it should be in a folder (name doesn't matter) inside the mods folder

so \Mods\Folder\EscapeHatch.dll

The file can even be inside one of your other mods folders (except Disabled)

[patent hull]

👍

Yep, it's working now. Manually hitting back instead of esc, and escapehatch is doing its job just fine whenever I'm being an idiot. Thanks for the help!

[loud breach]

is there a mod that makes it so that the sound doesnt muffle out when you take damage?

[pliant lantern]

There is!
I'll try to find it

@loud breach
So, this is the mod.
For some reason the original upload was deleted, and I'm unsure if there was a reason for that?

At any rate, it is a 1.4.3.2 mod, so it will require Downpatching to use. You can find info on doing that in the 3rd pin

[loud breach]

thanks!

[pliant lantern]

The mod author (SFGrenade) just made a 1.5 version of it as well:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/880548951521103962/922753210744184843/NeverMuffle.zip

If you've already downpatched, it's fine. The 1.5 version may be improved though. (the older version may have an issue with the in-game music that the newer version doesn't have).

[vernal rain]

if you give me a minute or two, maybe even 5 or 10, it can also be on the scarab modinstaller

wait nvm, caching, so when it should be, maybe there'll be a waiting period of additional 30 minutes or so

it's a button in one of the corners, top left I think

this looks like this on my computer

and put skin in Skins folder

and i have scarab

so this can be different if you have mod installer and non steam version

[magic pasture]

no i have scarab and steam hk so this should work

[solar atlas]

and it depends where you have hollow knight installed

[magic pasture]

in the same folder as "Default" and "Swap"? cuz i already tried that

[solar atlas]

it looks like this

smolaire is skin i use

you need to unpack it

im using winzip

but you can use something different to unpack

[wintry shale]

is there any mod wich just makes the game look super colourful and weird

[novel bronze]

i have installed the custom night and have put the skins in the folder but my game doesnt open
what do i do ?

[novel bronze]

does it have anything to do with the game version ?

[solar atlas]

You have scarab or mod installers?

[solar atlas]

I dont think there is mod like that on scarab but maybe on modinstallers

[solar atlas]

If you have modinstallers you need to downpatch game to 1.4.3.2 but when you have scarab you need to have current patch

[novel bronze]

i have the mod installer v 8.7.1

[magic pasture]

is this the place to ask for help on HKMP?

[solar atlas]

So 1.4.3.2 version of game

do i have to uninstall mod installer to get scarab or can i keep both ?

I was guessing with that btw

I only used scarab

[magic pasture]

what is ussually the port you need to use?

or... not

is there a dedault port?

[shut fern]

hi every time I install a mod with scarab I get this error: unity 2020.2.2f1_068178b99f32

Is there any solution?

[solar atlas]

I think you can use hamachi

[proven girder]

Some CustomKnight skins have some sharedassets files in it, is is necessary to replace the local files sharedassets with the ones in there? (The matching ones ofc)

And what exactly does doing so affect?

[dull glade]

is it possible to use the modinstallers without downpatching? is that what scarabs for?

[vernal rain]

yes

[dull glade]

thx

Using simple mods like discord rpc, and customknight wont alter my save data in any way, right?

[acoustic trout]

is there a mod that makes some enemies look cartoonishly stupid so i can get past deepnest without shitting myself lmao

Otherwise, how do i access the asset folders to do it myself

[dull glade]

Like, the game folder?

[acoustic trout]

yes, like steamapps/common

[dull glade]

right click Hollow Knight in your steam library, Manage/Browse Local Files

[acoustic trout]

ok lemme open steam

[pliant lantern]

The game sprites aren't just available to edit, fyi (like, they aren't just in a folder). They are packed into .dll files and such.

You have to use tools/programs to extract them

[acoustic trout]

got the name of a tool i could use?

[pliant lantern]

GoDump and Custom Knight. If you're planning on replacing them, then you'll probably want to use Custom Knight, because it'll create folders in the way that you would need to place the new image files to replace it

[acoustic trout]

thanks!

[acoustic trout]

I don't need any other tools since I'm just asset swapping, correct? (Also do you have a link to Custom Knight or is there a pinned link? I want to make sure I have the right one)

[dull glade]

What's with the icon here on the main menu with the other dlc icons?

[real jacinth]

it's spaghet

[acoustic trout]

modinstaller won't install for me despite using the most recent version of it i could find

Check the pins

[wheat orchid]

You’re using a installer for the wrong version

[acoustic trout]

oh

[proven girder]

It is beauty.
That is what it is.

[spice sable]

You need to downpatch to version 1.4.3.2 (to use this installer)

[wheat orchid]

You can either use a 1.5 installer or revert to 1.4.3.2

You should only really downpatch if you want to use enemy randomizer since it’s pretty much the only mod people often play not on 1.5

[pliant lantern]

For what Crispy wants, they want current patch

[wheat orchid]

Oh CustomKnight 1.5?

[acoustic trout]

yeah, at most i only wanna swap assets

Scarab is a mod installer for 1.5

You can install CustomKnight from it (same with the other mod installers)

[acoustic trout]

ah gotcha

and do i need to have hollow knight open during any of the asset swapping (besides making sure it works)

[real jacinth]

the opposite

you should only be making file changes when the game isn't being used

[wheat orchid]

This is generally the case with any mod file stuff

[acoustic trout]

ok, so how do i open/use custom knight after using scarab to install it for swapping enemy sprites and such

[spare bane]

what version?

[acoustic trout]

1.5

[spare bane]

scarab

[acoustic trout]

yeah

[pliant lantern]

To get the assets, you'll need HK open.
You'll need to be the room that has the assets you want to modify, then go into Pause menu > Options > Mods > Custom Knight
And then look for a Swapper option to "dump". And then probably leave your computer for awhile

[acoustic trout]

oh ok then, thanks

[acoustic trout]

and do i just edit said dumped files to apply them ingame or is there another method?

[pliant lantern]

Yeah. I can't remember if it puts the files into the global folder or not off hand, but essentially you'd use Custom Knight to apply them as either a skin or a "swap" which will use them regardless of the applied skin

how do you run customknight I just have the download

[median basin]

guys how do you get the health bar mod

[real jacinth]

click the installed box

[tidal pasture]

then it just crashes

[wintry quiver]

do it when the game isnt open

then run the game

[real jacinth]

play the game. select skin from options -> mods -> customknight

[real jacinth]

from the installers

[median basin]

no

i was just watching rustys stream

and i realized that his health bars are bigger

i want the big on

e

[real jacinth]

enemyhpbar

that's the mod

[acoustic trout]

so how do i dump textures via CustomKnight? the folder of the level was created but nothing else

[real jacinth]

you can change the bar settings or even the skin used after you install it

[shut sluice]

i like don't have the mod options in my hollow knight menu

is that some king of bug or?

[real jacinth]

which installer did you use

[acoustic trout]

is there a folder with all of the enemies sprites already ripped and in the correct format for animations to play?

[real jacinth]

and what patch is your game

[real jacinth]

no

[acoustic trout]

no not a game folder

[real jacinth]

it'll dump the sprite sheets, but they are not in "animation order" or anything

they're placed randomly on the sheet

[acoustic trout]

i meant if someone has a google drive or folder of all of the enemy sprites

[real jacinth]

pinned in #art-discussion

all game assets are there

[acoustic trout]

thanks

[steady pebble]

Hey I want to do something extreme. How do I manually edit a model (without using the installer I mean) because I want to do something creative.

[real jacinth]

without using any mods? you'd have to change unity asset files and repackage them using unity again

[shut sluice]

i used ModInstaller 2 and the latest update of my game is currently on v1.5.78.11833

[real jacinth]

modinstaller 2 is for patch 1432

so that won't work

use scarab

[median basin]

how

[real jacinth]

by editing the global settings file

or by swapping out the skin files in your game files

[median basin]

how

[real jacinth]

open with notepad

change things

save

[median basin]

can you send me a screenshot

of how to do this

[real jacinth]

i just told you

the settings file is generated where your saves are

by the enemyhpbar mod

[median basin]

but where is the global settings file

[real jacinth]

where your saves are

[median basin]

wait lemme see

[acoustic trout]

one last thing, do i place the editted sprite sheets into hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\Custom Knight\Skins\Default?

[real jacinth]

for enemies? not sure

not in default though

it'd be in skins if anything

but swapper might require them to be somewhere else

[acoustic trout]

hmm

and does the game need to be restarted each time or is fix skins good enough?

[median basin]

ok

i;ve found it

[median basin]

the fil

e

now what do i do

[real jacinth]

i already told you

open it in a text program, make changes, save it

[median basin]

what should i change

[real jacinth]

you can just open it in notepad

but visual studio works i guess

you should change what you want to change

[median basin]

bro i dont understand any of this

[real jacinth]

and you don't need to reply to everything.

we're actively talking

[median basin]

k

[acoustic trout]

to confirm, if I wanted to change an enemies sprite in all scenes it appears in in the entire game, would I put the .png of the sprite in Mods\Custom Knight\Swap or would I have to do it in individual folders for different scenes?

wait oops sorry about the ping

[real jacinth]

seems like it

[median basin]

hey sorry to keep on disturbing you guys

but now my enemy randomizer just stops at 90%

and then my game crashes

[acoustic trout]

ok i did that by making the entire sprite sheet red (to test), but still no changes including restarting the game

[real jacinth]

is it named exactly how the dumped sheet is?

[acoustic trout]

oh does it need all that number stuff? rather than just the enemy name?

[real jacinth]

however it was dumped, it needs to be named exactly that

that's how it knows to replace that file

oh ok lemme try it with the dumped name

i somehow bugged my game where the menu is opened while i can still move around 😐

[novel bronze]

hello
i am using scarab and the latest game version
and i have installed the custom knight mod
and put the skins in the folder
but when i open the game
nothing happens

[real jacinth]

so your game doesn't even open?

[wintry quiver]

I added the whitecloak file into the skins in the mod but its not letting me select it

[real jacinth]

did you unzip it

[wintry quiver]

nvm I used fixskins

I think itll work

[novel bronze]

it does

[real jacinth]

so then something does happen

[novel bronze]

is this ok ? or do i have to do something else ?

[acoustic trout]

Mickely, does the folder path on the dumped assets in the drive also need to be the same?
Ex: Swap/Hollow_Knight_sprites_1.4.3.2/Enemies_&_Corpses

[real jacinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if you're changing the files from art discussion, it might not be the right format

you should be changing what customknight dumped

which "probably" puts sprite sheets in the swap folders, but not sure

[acoustic trout]

customknight won't dump anything other than create a folder of the scene

[real jacinth]

did you look in that folder?

[acoustic trout]

yes, its empty

[real jacinth]

and were you in the scene of the enemy you wanted to change?

[acoustic trout]

technically, i want to change the sprite of an enemy overall, not just exclusive to one scene

but right now i'm just testing

[real jacinth]

yes, but dump only dumps the assets of the room you're in

so you have to go to where that enemy is, and then use the dump feature

so if you did it in a room with no enemies/etc, then yeah, makes sense the folder is empty

so then you can edit that sprite sheet, and move it to the global skin location that the screenshot i posted describes

[acoustic trout]

ok i got it downloading, the swapper mod does not mention that dumper may also need a restart

but now either my game is frozen or it's experiencing the massive lag it mentioned

[real jacinth]

probably the lag

if you're actively pulling assets

takes processing power

[acoustic trout]

haha, my processor is in danger

[novel bronze]

what do i do with satchel ?

[acoustic trout]

the drive assets file names aren't accurate to what is dumped 💀

Crawlid enemy's sprites are named crawler in the files

[real jacinth]

not surprising

[median basin]

hey guys

[real jacinth]

install it

[median basin]

what does the art mod do??

[real jacinth]

that's it. satchel is a library mod for customknight and others

[torn wolf]

how to delete modinstaller

[acoustic trout]

please tell me there is a guide somewhere showing the internal sprite image names?

[novel bronze]

It is

[real jacinth]

the game code?

otherwise not really

[acoustic trout]

damn

[real jacinth]

you'll have to dump the exact sprite you want to change

[novel bronze]

Oh
I used to have mod installer ...
Does it have to do anything with that?

[acoustic trout]

also still no change visible in crawlid enemy sprite

[real jacinth]

select it, press delete

[real jacinth]

if you're trying to just play vanilla game, deleting the installer won't do anything

[torn wolf]

no i want change the installer with scarab

(1.5 modinstaller)

[real jacinth]

get rid of the space in "customknight"

should have no space

so you're in the wrong folder

CustomKnight and Custom Knight are different

[novel bronze]

where is that located ?

[acoustic trout]

bruh

[real jacinth]

then yeah, just select it and press delete

[torn wolf]

just this ?

i was expecting something harder

[real jacinth]

It's a standalone program.

So if you delete it, it's gone

[torn wolf]

ok

thanks

[real jacinth]

Where is what located

[acoustic trout]

ugh still no changes

what do i need to do ingame to get it to load?

[real jacinth]

activate swapper maybe?

restart the game after adding the sprite sheet?

[novel bronze]

oh it worked

[novel bronze]

nothing
its ok now
thank you very much

[real jacinth]

never used the swapper feature, so i'm learning along with you

[acoustic trout]

do you know someone more experienced with swapper? not trying to be rude, but that would probably make things easier for the both of us

[real jacinth]

not off hand, no

it's not a super commonly used feature

no

[pliant lantern]

There should be an example folder to use

[real jacinth]

try adding the Swap folder in mods/customknight/skins

instead of in customknight

might be wrong on the readme

[acoustic trout]

ok, and honestly, i'm just going to make a different colored asset for each possible way it will work

[pliant lantern]

When you dump a sprite, it should dump in the same way that it needs added

[acoustic trout]

crawler wasn't in a subfolder when it was dumped

[pliant lantern]

I'm not at home this minute, but I can try checking when I get home in like an hour or so

[real jacinth]

so it wasn't dumped here?

[acoustic trout]

mods\customknight\Dump\Cliffs_02\crawler.png

that's where it was dumped

but i'm also trying to make it globally work

[real jacinth]

try adding the cliffs folder too

maybe swapper won't let you change all enemies of that type

and will only do it by room

and the "global" aspect is only global to the selected skin

[acoustic trout]

what does it mean by <skin> in the file path

[real jacinth]

mods\customknight\Swap\Cliffs_02\crawler.png

so try putting it here

skin is the name of a selected skin you have from customknight

so like... you can have custom enemies that pair with selected skins

so you can have a grimm themed one, etc

that'll only turn on when you're actively using the grimm skin

[acoustic trout]

ok lets see which color (if at all) will show up as the swapped sprite

ok, the cliff folder worked

[real jacinth]

unfortunate.

seems it's room specific

so you'll need folders and sprites for every room you want changed

[acoustic trout]

i really hope there's a list of scene file names so i don't need to export every single one in deepnest

[real jacinth]

you don't have to

benchwarp displays room name in bottom left

so you can just install that and enable that feature

then just make a folder that matches the name

[acoustic trout]

i'm just gonna do this later

thanks for your help though mickley

at least we found a solution (although the most inconvenient one lol)

[real jacinth]

😦

yeah.... was hoping there was a global "enemy type" way to swap them

maybe there is with another mod that I'm forgetting.

[acoustic trout]

customimages maybe? idk

[real jacinth]

EnemyChanger

jfc. if it's this easy

[acoustic trout]

wait is that literally the mod for changing enemy sprites?

[real jacinth]

on scarab

[wheat orchid]

I’d think it would but I’d think it doing that would be an accident. Probably would change an enemy once the room the spritesheet is in is loaded

[weak wharf]

OH MY GOD,HELP

[wheat orchid]

no

[weak wharf]

i used debug mode on a new save file i started to respawn traitor lord

And now the area is fucked up

[wheat orchid]

Wdym

[acoustic trout]

wait it was that simple via using that mod

[real jacinth]

seems like it

[weak wharf]

i don't even know how to explain

and where to start

[real jacinth]

screenshots are great

[weak wharf]

i can't exit

i can't enter

i can't respawn

and everything is merged

[real jacinth]

probably pressed a hotkey on debug

that you don't think you did

[weak wharf]

All because i clicked respawn boss

:/

[acoustic trout]

smh, well thank god we found that out before i made individual folders for every appearance scene an enemy appears in

[wheat orchid]

There’s probably an global GameObject thing for swapster which could do it

[real jacinth]

yeah, it's called enemychanger

[wheat orchid]

Oh are we talking about swapster or the swapster implemented in CustomKnight 1.5?

[real jacinth]

the latter

[weak wharf]

help

[wheat orchid]

I have no idea either way

[weak wharf]

i fucked up a 9 hour save now

[wheat orchid]

Fun

[real jacinth]

i mean, doesn't matter. we found/remembered an easier way

[wheat orchid]

Could you try explaining it better/with screenshots

[real jacinth]

and i won't forget it for next time

lol

[wheat orchid]

lol

[real jacinth]

i knew i saw enemy changer go through pull requests twice. it didn't change enemies before, it only allowed viewing sprites.
