Yeah, if the installer was open then close it and open it
modding api out ouf date?
ok
ok thank you someone
Np
Im having some problems with CustomKnight, I'm trying to download the LapisLightning skin but I cant figure out what form to put the file in for it to work
Can you screenshot the files in the skin
currently when I try to load the skin ingame it doesn't do anything
gimme a sec
Im going to keep trying but any help will be appreciated
I meant screenshot the folder so I could see the file structure
oh
it comes as a zipped file but Custom Knight doesn't recognize it so I unzipped it and its there the skin just doesn't load
Can you screenshot the inside of the unzipped folder?
Can you screenshot the way you put it in the CustomKnight folder?
Just the folder with the images in it?
I just use the last screenshot
Can you still screenshot the folder in the CustomKnight folder?
Then inside the Lapis Lightning by Biscuit folder is there the images or is there another folder
theres a Readme, could that be the problem?\
yes
Also take a look at the pins it has a section about common issues with custom knight
Bruh
im an idiot
Well that’s enough discord for me today
you earned some rest
Always tell people to look at the pin before anything else
but hey not everyone is stupid
some people don't forget to check pins
ill be back if it still doesn't work
Well I’ve found that people end up following directions to a completely different problem and will keep bringing up those directions despite being told they were wrong
lmfao
Uh that a problem I haven’t seen yet
yo cant get scarab working, have it installed and have the mods installed but isnt modding the game
hk is in 1.4.3.2
Well, Scarab isn't 1432
Look at the pin
So, that's the first problem
hey how can i find my hk file if i downloaded hollow knight on the xbox app
i want it for mod installler
pls someone can dm me a hornet skin? i cant find a goodone
You can’t mod on Xbox game pass or on the console
Look at the pinned comment, it’s called daughter of hallownest
yeah but idk why i cant use it
Then look again at the pinned comment, there is a section about common problem with custom knight
Link to a simplified download of that skin:
#archived-modding-help message
I'm having trouble finding the download for the mod installer so if anyone who has that can send it to me, please do.

Place them in the skins folder, which is inside the CustomKnight folder
which of the three is the best installer for 1.2.21??
installer 1 gives me problems, 2 make the game go to a black screen and scarab crashes
I've been trying for a while now
so tell me, which of these numbers is equal to 1.2.2.1?
none xd
need to install things yourself, shouldn't be too hard

okay ty
do i have to make one or is it already there?
Have you installed customknight?
i havent, but ill do that now
using fireb0rn's tutorial, i was installing the mod manager and it said i needed the most recent one
how do i do that?
I was just watching that, about to ask the same thing haha
we are on the same brain wavelength 
you're using 1.4.3.2 installers on a 1.5 game
so either downpatch your game to 1.4.3.2 or use a 1.5 installer
Okay dokey!
i was downloading scarab but i dont know where to put the files
on your desktop
how do i mod pirated hk lol
you don't
Hello! I just started my 1st modded run! Room randomizer w/ christmas skin seems to work. I was expecting things to break because I didn't find 'SereCore' in the installer. Is that not required in Scarab?
cool thanks! Took a bit of reading but the pinned guides are quite clear
Please help, after i installed mods background of game disappeared
Bit of an odd question: Does the Mac version of Modinstaller 2 work with the GOG version? Every time I try opening it, I just get an error saying "ModInstaller quit unexpectedly" (it's not the "unauthorized app" thing, it just immediately crashes before I can do anything).
move the mod installer to your desktop, right click, show app contents, macos, run the installer
Thanks, I'll try that (I'm normally a PC guy, but I'm trying to get it to work on my brother's Mac)
Yep, that did it. Thanks a million!
how do you use custom skins?
What’s your platform, where did you get your game and what is your patch ?
Windows, Steam, Not using any betas (last ver of HK)
also what is randomizer map and rando stats
Hum that’s, weird, did you like download it correctly ? Like you got it from this servers pin and extracted it ?
i got it from GitHub and extracted it into a folder on desktop
Rando stat is an unreleased mod about well, rando start, and rando map is an outdated mod with, well rando maps
Hummm, take a look at all the pin as maybe your error might be in here, but I’m very not sure about what might be causing trouble
i can try screensharig the issue
i reinstalled Scarab from the link in pins. Didn't help
You can also try to install one of the older installer, and as such downpatch to use them
there must be a solution...
what's the problem?
i used the mod installer and it told me that i need the most current version of hollow knight but i literally just downloaded hollow knight 10 minutes prior
hmmm
i checked for updates and there were none as well
so do u have 1.5 ver?
let me check
Can someone help which mods are required for custom knight only on 1.5?
Downloaded with scarab, but fails to load
or where to look for info?
i am on v1.5
then it is weird
Scarab or old mod installer?
mod installer tho i dont know if its the newest one
#archived-modding-help message
this one should be used with 1.5.x.x
In the name of Radiance why th Scarab doesn't work for me?
when i want to download modinstaller it just says that couldnt locate the file
Download windows.zip. extract all contents onto desktop. Run the application/exe that's in the extracted folder.
And do it when your game is closed
Hey I'm not understanding the information on the pins, does the randomizer support latest version, or do I still need to to download beta 1.4.2.something?
Did all that
What version of windows are you using.
10 ig
what is scarab for? I'm trying to customize my knight but the mod installer asks me to update my game to a current stable patch
my HK is on pc, btw
I'll try to restart my pc tomorrow cuz I'm going to sleep
hello, I don't understand a thing and I wanna die
I'm trying to download this https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/19?tab=description moth knight mod
but I can't find where to start for modding
i'm under linux
pins?
i downloaded a randomizer 3.5 from scarab
and when i start a game i spawn in a dark room
bruh i cant download mods
Does anyone know this problem where if I pause the game I can somehow make the settings text go away but then this remains and the game stays paused. I've only fixed it by fully restarting the game. But if anyone knows either a better way to fix it when I haven't saved recently or a way to avoid it would be appreciated?
The problem is that no button I press will unpause the game
when I try to install the mod it says it can't find the hollow knight installation folder
I downloaded it using microsoft store and the hollow knight folder is write protected
yes, you need escapehatch.dll
it's not a proper fix, but it makes things usable
I don’t think there is a method for modding the game outside of steam and GoG
yeah rip
just realized
the thing is I haven't even payed for the game just got it on gamepass
you're missing a dependency
so I'ma have to buy it on steam if I want mods
I just got my first ever PC and bought hollow knight and I wanted to do a randomizer how would I go about this
Download the latest installer

Hi guys!
I want to play Co-Op with a friend but I have no idea how to do it, any suggestions?
I have already been searching but I want to know if it is possible to use Steam servers
You both need to get an installer and the multiplayer mod and it’s dependencies, everything is in the pin
🐌
Thank you a lot
Steam servers, no. You'll use a public server, or a private connection through a VPN, or port forwarding.
Okay, I am not so familiarised with that stuff but I will try to find a safe way to do it
Just follow the guide
Is it safe to use Co-op servers with IP disabled?
What do you mean?
If you're using a VPN like the guide suggests, it's not your real IP address, if you're connecting to a public server, you don't even need to give your IP, just put in the right one
Can anyone help I'm trying to figure out how to downpatch I'm on win 11 and use steam
Ty
My friend is having trouble with Hollow Knight Multiplayer. He is trying to download "Scarab" but when he runs it, it's just gray. He tried to extract it and run it again but it's gray. He's on Windows
It worked thx
I believe using a VPN will fix that
what if theres no vpn available
Then I'm not sure, try disabling your firewall or something maybe, or play on a different Wi-fi
k
Thanks I am currently playing with my friend
There is not a way to play the same map right?
how i can install to microsoft store hollow knight 
No, there's not progression sync
You can't
Oh no problem
thats why my life sucks
It's half off on steam right now
i wont buy hollow knight 2 times tho
Is it hard to develop? I am curious
Probably a bit, it definitely has some things you'd have to overcome tho. I know they're working on enemy sync at least, so it may happen after that
but that's a long ways out
Another question
There is any mod that I could directly download from Scarab that would allow me to do the PoP multiple times?
QoL
Thanks! But one more question. Do I drop that .dll file in the 'Managed' folder in 'hollow_knight_Data' or in one of the mod folders?
In a folder inside the Mods folder, any folder except Disabled, even a new one
Thank you ^^
I've asked this here before, but with randomizer, do I just need to install vanilla randomizer 3 (with the dependencies that the installer already installs) to get elder bug to give me the map?
Ok it seems they've moved it to Randomizer Map S mod right?
Playing the hollow knight randomizer mod, why can't I use the key? Would really like to have monarch wings...
Uh, that seems like a bug, maybe ask #randomizer. You may just need to give yourself it with debug mod.
Because the first key must go to Water Ways
You can open a different thing once you've found another key
Wait, but junk pit is waterways? And I thought it usually gives you that message if you try to use it somewhere you can't? Especially for an important item like wings it seems weird that it locks you out
It’s randomizer though, it doesn’t matter that it’s normally located in waterways
Hi, i am trying to download the mod installer but it is saying this, any help pls?
its pinned
thank you
How? The game should crash if installer 2 is used after getting that error
it worked, thxx
That error means the installer you’re using is for 1.4.3.2 and your game ver is 1.5
Installer 2 is also for 1.4.3.2
idk I tried the second installer and it worked
So you need to use the scarab mod installer instead
I had the same error
Does the game run
yeah
Did you install the ModdingApi mod
yes
I’m so confused
What the item is doesn't matter.
You can potentially do that check without opening waterways a few ways, but that's irrelevant because for simplicity, Randomizer requires key #1 to be used to open waterways, and then none of the other key checks are in-logic until you have all keys
ok so now I've reached where there might be a problem
everytime I load my save I crash
Use the scarab mod installer
ok
Did you manually change your game version to 1.4.3.2 at all?
nope
Where did you purchase the game
steam
In your steam library, on the left side does hollow knight say 1.4.3.2 next to it?
nope
Can you screenshot the title screen of hollow knight?
this?
In game, the title screen
Can you screenshot the whole thing
So mods are not working
yeah i deleted them for scarb
So with the ModdingApi installed, with mod installer 2 it still opened fine and everything played right?
The game opened fine but when I loaded a save it gave me the same warning from before from installer 1 and crashed
Well don’t suggest doing that to other people then 
Is a controller plugged in
nope
Can you screenshot scarab?
I verified my files, that fixed my hollow knight'
That also removed mods
well this is the person who also followed my suggestion from before using installer 2
I verified my files then downloaded scarb
Scarab should overwrite any files that were broken
It’s been moved since it’s not a normal mod
Install any other mod and it will install
im confused as hell lmao
Me too
Im on 1.5.78 and both scarab and MI2 dont work
You both need to do this:
#archived-modding-help message
where is the custom knight google drive
When you're done deleting those files and re-verifying, then open Scarab again. If it says that you have mods installed, then click to install something else, then just un-install it. (Scarab needs you to install a mod to get the ModdingAPI re-enabled after removing it entirely)
hi yes, me and a friend are trying to play together via the multiplayer mod, How do we set up a server/ip?
all the guides I've found are outdated btw ^
I'm having a problem, I have the hollow point soul problem (quick healing with no soul), and the fix in the pins doesn't work, but also I can't dash or cdash, idk why
Are there any online multiplayer or couch co-op Hollowknight mods?
Or just multiplayer mods, in general—
I'm using scarab with benchwarp, custom knight, custom trial, debug mod, the discord mod, hp bar, godseeker plus, more saves, QoL, Satchel and transtrans
How do I host a mp server I have it installed on modinstaller1
Use HKMP instead. See link above.
We're using modinstaller1 tho does it not work or something?
ModInstaller1 is irrelevant
There is a 1432 build of HKMP, that the guide links to
"Multiplayer Mod" is really outdated, and was an abandoned project
if you want to use it, that's fine, but you'll need to restart the game about once every 5-15 minutes while playing
There are lots of different fixes in the pins. If one in the message doesn't work, then use another. Some of them only work on certain game versions, so make sure you checked that.
Nothing should prevent you from Dashing/CDashing though. You may want to see if the Keyboard input works.
hhh, I'm having problems now after installing the ModInstaller2 and trying to use it for my Game to do HKMP. Apologies if this answer is within the pinned section, I'm just minorly freaking out atm is all since I cannot load it. This is what appears when I try to load HK.
Apologies if this answer is within the pinned section
It is
Within the first 3 pins
sweet mama, thank you.
||Specifically, Mod Installer 2 is for an older patch. If you didn't Downpatch, then you're using the wrong installer||
stupid question, when someone mentions the "modmenu" when referring to a scarab/1.5 mod, does that mean the ingame menus or like a json file in the save folder?
in-game
The save files one is called a globalsettings file
ah, thanks! i'm doing some testing for a newer mod and i can't get it to show up in the ingame modsettings
can someone send me the dash sprites
mind telling which mod? to fix
it's mulhima's random teleport mod
Im using the scarab 1.5 moding thing and it keeps freezing the game whenever i use the mod menue
are there any other things I need to do to set up a customknight skin other than just making a folder and putting the sprite file in?
you need customknight itself and all its dependencies
Exit the menu by pressing the "back" button in the menus
I got the mod and put into hollow knight data and put it to the version the mod is on but it doesnt work

I'm not the most familiar with the process yet, but a good place to start would be the API Doc pinned in #archived-modding-development.
no I know how to make customknight work, I'm asking about adding a new skin
I tried just putting the skin into a folder in the customknight folder but it isn't working properly
^
My QoL mod is failing to load, does anyone know why is this happening?
could you give us more info?
also I think you need modcommon for QoL
if you don't have that then you should get it anyways
Oh, that's why, thanks!
Wait, it still doesn't work... I have benchwarp, modcommon, QoL, Rando2 and SereCore in my mods folder, and QoL can't load while rando can function properly
The png should be called Knight
Vasi, not mod common, and why are you using rando2...
oh it's vasi you need? whoops
I'm trying to play some rando bingo under the rules of rando bingo tournament 2019, and rando2 is the one they used back then
oh
Hallo
Looking to transfer my save files from my Switch (which is what I played on initially) to my PC
I've been looking for a while on the internet and havent found a clear cut way of doing it so might as well ask here
I’m afraid that’s impossible
ooh. not even homebrew could help? or is it just not possible
They aren't interchangeable
Sadge
Well thanks for clearing that up, guess I'll have to replay the game which isnt too bad, I dont mind
There's some completed saves you can download if you want that
Or you can use this as a chance to try playing with mods
actually yeah! thats a good idea
the modding thing I mean, sounds fun
After playing through forgotten crossroads again, ima just play through the game instead and get everything again
and I recall a save editor? so I might wanna just edit my godhome to what I have on switch cuz I KINDA dont wanna do the first 4 AB's and radiant statues
1.5 More Saves has built in save editing, QoL has save editing, or there's a website https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

hey guys im tryiung to mod on mac but there doesnt seem to be anything in the managed folder
- You shouldn't really need to be there
- Press "Open Mods" in the bottom left of Scarab/Mi2 to get taken to the mods folder
- If you for some reason do need to be there, mac has two managed folders, the correct one is
\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/Contents\Resources\Data\Managed\
I am playing randomizer and when I collect an item it plays the animation of collecting that item forever, and I can't do anything other than quitting...
What are the possible reasons for this to happen
Also, other pickups function properly, only the one at thorns of agony does this. I'm using rando2, QoL and benchwarp
Rando2? That’s out of date, you should use rando 3
I'm using rando2 as the bingo tournament in 2019 used it, and I wanted to follow it's ruleset
There's some logic difference in rando3 I believe
e.g. It's not possible to reach resting grounds without anything, and iselda shop opens as soon as you enter dirtmouth
Where i can instal modinstaller for 1.4?
is it normal that whenever I try to open scarab's latest version it closes itself and doesn't let me do anything?
Hey all - happy holidays wherever you are! I had a quick questions for the modding community.
I'm going to try creating a skin soon, and I was wondering if there was a way I could edit some of the dialogue in-game to match the skin more closely. Is there a tool the modding community uses, similar to Custom Knight? Or how else would I begin to learn how to do that?
youll need to add a mod, you cant do that with custom knight
How Do I get Custom Textures?
I think it's possible using Custom Knight's swapper feature, though I don't know the details. If someone doesn't come and tell you maybe ask again
how do i use hkmp
hello, i woud like to now how to mod hollow knight on mac i tried modloader 2 but it doesnt workd and crashed my game so what could i try next ? (pleas excuse the spelling mistakes)
What patch are you playing?
modinstaller2 is for 1.4.3.2 (older patch), install scarab from the pins
ok tanks
You and your freind gonna use any program that can make local wifi , then that one of you who will host gonna copy ipv4
And send to other players
Then everyone gonna enter in port
26950
The host gonna enter in ip
Localhost
Then
Press start hosting
Everyone else gonna enter the ip
So I have a weird problem where I can't dash or cdash, I play natively on controller and the triggers work normally in other games, does anyone know what could be causing this? Already tried taking away the dash with debug and giving it back
Those are the mods I use
Also if you want play with skins that easy on 1.5
On 1.4 you and your freinds gonna have all the skins in files
Is there a mod that can change my masks back to 8 or just any other way to change it back
If you’re on 1.5 you can use moresaves to edit your save file in game, otherwise you’ll need to edit it using a .json file generated by the qol mod or use a online save editor
ok thx
Is it possible you could have removed those from your items with debug?
My problem is that i can't play with mods, i have installed the mod installer but the mod option just don't appear
Screenshot the title screen of hollow knight and the mod installer
- I don’t know why that mod installer is named that way but that might mean it’s outdated
- That mod installer is not for that version of hollow knight, you have 1.5 and that mod installer is for 1.4.3.2
You can either downpatch to 1.4.3.2 or get the 1.5 installer but not both
Directions to both are in the first pinned message

No, I already checked and even tried taking them away and giving them back, still doesn't work
I'll check if it works on another save file
Nevermind, it just started working again after I launched the game, no idea what happened
Mods are strange
No you don’t
You did not follow my directions
You downloaded the exact same kind of installer
For 1.4.3.2
I said for 1.5
How do you use multiplayer mod?
Hkmp or the 2 multiplayer mods?
got it
wdym
After it’s downloaded, right click it, extract it, then move the extracted folder to the desktop folder, if you go inside the folder now you can open scarab
Is it called hkmp?
Or is it the 2 multiplayer mods (multiplayer server, multiplayer client)?
the 2 multiplayer mods
Are you on 1.4.3.2?
now i just have to install the mods that i want ?
Yes
yrp
ty
I suggest not using those, though they’re on the installer, they’re very buggy and don’t have active support. I’ll get you a link to the hkmp mod for 1.4.3.2 and the discord server link
ok
You don’t have the api yet. Install a mod to install it
@knotty ocean https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP/releases/tag/v0.7.2 I’ll dm you the server link
didnt work
Then you can disable it by closing the installer, going to steam, right click hk, click properties, click local files, click verify integrity of local files
HKMP.dll
k
Get the file below it if you want to host a server without running the game
it doesnt have an app for it
Yeah
then how
If it did there’d be quite a bit more than mods that you’d be able to put in the mod installer
no i mean when I open it, it shows an error
then what do i do
Hey, relyea made a new video explaining how tomod. could we pin it here?
Are you using mod installer or mod installer 2
mod installer
It explains how download mods and he does an example of it
Idk, but warning but this is probably going to get lost in the messages here
Also does it give examples for both 1.5 and 1.4.3.2 or one?
Click manually install mods, then select the file
Only 1.4.3.2
Not that useful then
But I think he'll do an example for scarab soon
We’ve already got a million mod tutorials for 1.4.3.2
Idk if it’ll get pinned, but you can use it and modders might start linking people to it
Open the game, the mod is installed
and how do you use it>
You can go to the server I sent you to get support with that and find other people to play
Basically you enter the ip of somebody you’re connecting to unless you’re hosting
That’s it
But unless you’re on the same network, that gets complicated
You’ll either have to use a vpn or port forward, I suggest using a vpn since port forwarding reveals your real IP address and requires messing with your router while a vpn just uses a “fake” ip
the mod option still doesn't appear
Where did you purchase the game
hey help
debug menu cheats don’t work anymore
what did i do wrong
Any screenshots
gog galaxy
Are you on 1.4.3.2 and is moresaves installed
Did you direct the installer to where the game is installed or did you use the default install path?
i direct the installer to where the game is intalled

im confuzzed
what is the latest rando mod and how do i install it cuz my modinstaller says my version's outdated?
It says hollow knight is or the randomizer?
rando
That just means there was an update and the version you have is outdated, click the orange box to update it
I delete this?
No???? That has nothing to do with what I said?
That’s your game’s files
I said save files
Also I said that what you want to delete has global settings in its name
I have a question, is there any reason to not install all the library mods? (even if you don't have any mods that need them)
where do i find the speedrun mod or is that just QoL
It's QoL
k
Nope, I suggest doing that (though I’ve heard a long time ago weavercore may have had a problem with benchwarp?)
okay
I think it’s Qol, might be a modified version? Either way I think Qol has everything you want

I think fire used to refer to QoL as the speedrun mod in his videos, what's important is that QoL allows you to bring back some "features" from 1.2.2.1 into current patch, and also speeds up some tedious things (like sell all relics)
Or maybe it was someone else, but some youtuber anyway
yea it was what i was looking for now i can inventory drop and lever skip
many thanks
np
i can't find it
The save files path?
Or globalsettings files?
For the save files path you can just copy it, press windows key + r, paste it, then press enter
and i just delete the files?
No,
Only ones with global settings in their names
Yes?
the files are named global settings or they are global setings?
i found files named user1.dat.pak
i have to delete theme too?
No
.
Anything related to globalsettings
userX files are not
i copy pasted these : %APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
so i updated my randomiser and this happened... is there something wrong?
and all the things that i found where only the user files
Huh
Try to restart hk? idk
In scarab can you click open mods folder and verify it’s in the right path?
thx for the suggestion but it didnt work, any other ideas?
Hmm
Don't use randomiser?
Well they clearly want to play randomizer
lol
Try removing moresaves
oke
yes they are
didnt work but the rando should be fine right? it seems to only be a visual bug
Honestly the only thing I can think of is remove rando and install again, maybe then it will work, I see no reason why the text would be doubled
So if you go to your hollow knight installation in another file explorer tab, go into hollow_knight_Data, go into managed, go into mods, the mod files are there?
I guess
thx for the help guys
yes
Wait is there both Hollow Knight_Data and hollow_knight_Data?
where can i find all the mods available
yes

If you try the same thing in Hollow Knight_Data is there a mods folder?
Gog is weird, I forgot
yeah
no
Aha, scarab thinks hollow_knight_Data is where the files are, but gog hollow knight uses Hollow Knight_Data on 1.5
I’ll instruct you on how to fix it now
okey
Follow the instructions to reset mod installer 2 (scarab is really just a updated version of it)
Go to your hollow knight folder, delete the hollow_knight_Data folder
i did it
Now try opening scarab
did it
Direct it to the right path, install a mod, and see if it works
I keep crashing when i launch Hollow knight via steam , (i have ModInstaller2 Installed)
Could somebody help me w that
You most likely have hollow knight ver 1.5.x.x, mod installer 2 is for 1.4.3.2
Do you know how to downgrade versions on steam ?
You can either revert to 1.4.3.2 to use that mod installer, or you can use the 1.5 installer, scarab. Directions to both are in the first pinned message

Ok thanks
i don't know if this is a modding question but i switched back to vanilla version of hk and my knight heals like crazy without using any soul, anyone know how to disable this
?
toasty
??
@high spade
You used hollow point on that save. You need to either use the hollow point fix mod, the moresaves mod, the qol mod, or a save editor
Any elaboration
oh alright

How do i restore my save files? I bought Hollow again and my saves files are still there
NO. They are good save files but they are my 0/63 achivements acunt
Like to move them
?saves
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
Go to your save files path and move user#.dat to another location (# is a number 1-4 corresponding to the save slot)
Just userX.dat, once those are copied you can delete everything else, just backups
Just save files
I just suggest deleting the backups and the .json files
If you install Qol it will detect the json files as save files and it will be like you did nothing, deleting the backups is just for storage since you probably haven’t gotten your saves corrupted
Was the qol mod installed?
I think so

yes

how do i use randomizer 3.5 from scarab? on 1.5.78
because when i try to use it i just spawn in a black area
thats the creator link. search up the name of the skin then download it
You're missing a dependency probably
?
You are probably missing a mod that randomizer is dependent on
Serecore
?
Do you have it or no
no
That'd be it. Should work after getting it

Is serecore in scarab
???
The ?pins command just gives an image guiding users to the pinned messages
I don’t think serecore is in scarab, so rando 3.5 doesn’t require it
ok
It's satchel you're missing

whenever i try to install customknight, scarab crashes
hk isnt open
sorry

Is this an error with the game or scarab?
Yes
No
Did you get hk on steam?
yea I know how to mod and everything but I cant disable the api
scarab is on current version
Close scarab, go to steam, right click hk, click properties, click local files, click verify integrity of files, files (the ModdingApi) will fail to verify and be redownload. Don’t open scarab again until you want to use mods

hey
help
im creating a skin in firealpaca
and
it doesn't save
guys how do i play room rando in multiplayer?
You can’t
i saw in a fireborn's stream that there was like a list of players ready or not
Wait No you can now
i'm pretty sure fire did it
Fuck i forgot it works nie
I haven’t used mods Since last patch so sadly No
Someone who does should come here in some time tho i excpect
btw i'm not using hamachi since i'm playing with my brother in the same house
if that helps
ok i need help if someone can give that, i open modinstaller and enable my mods just fine, but once i open hollow knight on steam, it tries for a bit, and then just doesnt open anything and acts like i never pressed play
and now ive tried uninstalling modinstaller to play vanilla and it does the same thing
does it show a popup with the game's icon and an exclamation mark?
yes
for a split second
did you pirate the game?
which version of the game you're using
it says it's up to date (how do i check what version its on)
like whatever is most recent, thats what i have
should i switch to another patch?
which mod installer are you using? scarab is the one for 1.5
im using modinstaller 2
ok that's the problem
just check the installation folder and delete the files, i don't think it's registered as a program in the control panel
now i just need to get scarab?
yup
this is the link of the message with all the links for download
before installing the mods with scarab i reccomend you to remove the old mods
i don't know if they can affect the game but just for sure
i did dw :)
why wont the mod installer open?
so a little confused on the custom knight mod. I have a 1.5 patch of the game and I just got scarab. This is the first time I've ever modded the game, and I put the skins in the correct folder based on the pinned message. I have satchel enabled and when I go look for a skin to put on, I do see the skins in the list, but when I attempt to use them, my character just flashes and nothing happens
btw if someone can respond to me pls tag me
I'm confused, what exactly is the question?
this one
I saw that
I'm not sure what you're stuck on though
or what you don't know
You probably want this post though:
#modding-discussion message
i'm using randomizer 3.5 for hk 1.5, there isn't any difference right?
the only difference is that MultiWorld/ItemSync doesn't exist on 1.5 currently
So you can still use HKMP and play "old fashioned" Randomizer together, where you [both] use the same seed + settings to have the same world
but if you are wanting to play MultiWorld or ItemSync, then you would need to downpatch
ok thanks
could this be due to me adding every skin that's in the customer white palace folder? I didn't think it would break stuff but if I need to take them out for it to work then I can
Shouldn't matter. Can you post a screenshot of one of the skins that's not working?
Have the image include the images in the folder and the path directory bar at the top
is it just me whose mod installer wont launch?
yes
this one should be it right?
also a weird thing to mention but when I close out of the menu using my controller, it freezes up the game and I have to restart it since I can't unpause it
question where do you get the custom knight skins?
I was wondering, what happened to the Google Drive folder which used to hold information about all the mods available in the ModInstaller?
Can you use ModInstaller for the most recent version of the game? Or does it only work on 1.4.3.2
Is it reliable?
same
The image files aren't in this screenshot
This is a bug with the 1.5 Mod Menu. You have to press the "Back" menu option. There's also a mod you can install that adds a "fix it" button if you accidentally hit the wrong button.
how do i get more skins?
And Are you clicking "Apply" after selecting that skin?
yes
Try clicking "Apply" on a different skin, and then on that one again
ok the randomizer worked but now the hkmp mod isn't working, it says connection failed, we're on the same lan and using the same ip address but it says connection failed
can you mod hn for free?
do i have to buy the game?
yes
bruh
mod installer doesn't work with pirated game
sadness
alr
imma head out
imagine pirating an indie game 
it's 50% off now so you could consider buying it
Scarab doesnt activate after reinstalling it
where do i go to download mods
When i try to install the mod downloader it says 'please update your game to the current stable patch and try again and i am pretty sure that it is on the most recent version. Unless it doesn't work if you are in beta.

thats the one i had installed the first time
if it was giving you this error, then no it wasn't. If you mean you tried it before using mi1, then yes it's cause the beta was the wrong version
whats mi1?
mod installer 1
If you were on the beta, none of the mod installers would work. If you've set it to none, then you should be good to use scarab. If you set it to 1.4.3.2 youc an use mi1 or mi2
ok, i dont think i fully understand how to change the versions
why do you want to change versions
i dont know i just want to know how to so that i can if i want to/need to in the future
It doesn't matter, just set it to none and get scarab
which is better
mod installer 1 or 1.5 or 2

HOW DO I USE THE M,ULTIPLAYER THINS
sorry caps

anyway
i followed this tutorial https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2368956017
it didnt worjk
.
Is one of the pinned mods add multiplayer?
Download from pins. Extract to desktop. Run the exe
i did that
where is the appdata for scarab stored?
do I install the source.zip with it
are u on linux, windos or mac?
windows
then download windows.zip and extract, youll find a scarab.exe in the folder, then run it
u can download it from here https://www.dll-files.com/api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll.html but i have no idea where to put it
Download api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll free! Fix DLL missing error. Solve it yourself or get help using DLL‑files.com Client to fix DLL error automatically.

I downloaded 32 bits
let me try the 64 bit one
it works now
thank you
nice
My friend is trying to download the mod installer but it keeps telling him that it couldn't locate the Hollow Knight installation folder, is there anything that we can do?
Select the install folder when it gives you the option
was there every a mod to silence Zote in dirtmouth?
Ive seen one for Salubra and Grimmchild already
Where is the install folder?
Where is your game
Not trying to interrupt or anything, but if you want something neat, you can check #hk-discussion pins
Steam I guess
you can right click the game, go to properties, and click local files
It says it's on drive C
just click browse and it should take you right to the folder
We're at the folder
wait, after i've installed and enabled all my mods that i want (via mod manager by gradow 1.4.3.2) do i just launch the game?
Yes
ok thank you
hey, enemy randomizer won’t work. Is there another mod I need?
have you clicked load on the title screen?
do you have modcommon installed?
i keep getting this everytime i open mod installer, i tried manually selecting the path but still got thesame thing
Have you tried purchasing the game?
have you tried looking at the image or do i need to circle it for you?
I can add games as non steam games too
still have the game
do i need to select the game file or just the folder its located in?
You need to purchase a legitimate game copy
broke rn
Game is 50% off right now.
would you mind linking to it
I am using the latest Scarab (1.5) with the following mods (and respective dependencies):
Randomizer v3.5, Debug Mod, Custom Knight, More Saves
Whenever I start a new save file and enter king's pass, the world (not the UI) is completely black except whenever a pickup somewhere on screen flashes
I have attempted to reinstall HK, wiping the game's folder and the Team Cherry folder on %appdata% as well, but the problem still persists
Using benchwarp to teleport elsewhere, the game was normal (I only tried Dirtmouth and Crystal Peak guardian though)
You need Qol as well for rando to work right
Technically not commonly known as a dependency
At least I think you need it
i suppose it's part of
and respective dependencies
I don’t think it’s commonly known as a dependency though
It does install it, at least it did for me
Huh well idk
Use debug to noclip back in bounds
Wait
Or benchwarp to dirtmouth
What language is your system?
English
Let me try that
may i ask why that would even matter
Alright, noclipping worked, thank you so much @real jacinth !
Because of the best .NET framework oversight 
wait what
I'm curious about that one, is it documented somewhere?
Merry Christmas everyone, especially to the kind souls helping others!
I was finally able to fix my issues with the RandomizerMod3.5 and I'll try to recap what I did to fix it, and my idea on why the bug was happening in the first place.Recap of the issue I was having:
When starting a rando save, I was stuck in a black screen briefly showing my starting location. I was able to teleport myself using benchwarp or other mods but some checks were missing, like the stag checks.
Link to relevant messages:How did I fixed it:
I replaced all dots by comma in the xml part of the RandomizerMod3.5.dll file.Step by step how-to:
I opened the RandomizerMod3.5.dll using notepad++
I moved to the line 63085 (shortcut ctrl+G).
I opened the search&replace menu (ctrl+H).
I checked the regex mode. I unchecked the "Loop" box.
Search: (\d+).(\d+) Replace: \1,\2.
Replace All.
Then on the last line (83668) I fixed the two RandomizerMod3.5 that turned into RandomizerMod3,5What do I think caused the problem?
My system is in French and in French the decimal separator is a comma and not a dot. Whatever is used to parse the xml file use the system's configuration and will expect a comma on French systems.
This issue will be visible in the ModLog.txt file as many lines such as [WARN]:[RandomizerMod] - Could not parse "-0.3" to float.
The only decimal values in the xml file (i.e. after line 63085 in the .dll file) are values for x y coordinates or elevation.
Since those values are incorrectly read, the Knight will be spawned out of bounds resulting in the game not starting until manually teleported elsewhere. This also explains the check missing as they were probably spawned out of bounds.
- @Perdu#2464 , HKMP server
There was more discussion about it in the bug report section for Rando3.5 on the HK Modding server
Huh, now that you mention it, my system has some parts in portuguese, such as the calendar
Maybe it was that after all
