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

wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot the files in the skin

copper scaffold
#

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

wheat orchid
#

I meant screenshot the folder so I could see the file structure

copper scaffold
#

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

wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot the inside of the unzipped folder?

copper scaffold
wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot the way you put it in the CustomKnight folder?

#

Just the folder with the images in it?

copper scaffold
#

I just use the last screenshot

wheat orchid
#

Can you still screenshot the folder in the CustomKnight folder?

copper scaffold
wheat orchid
#

Then inside the Lapis Lightning by Biscuit folder is there the images or is there another folder

copper scaffold
#

theres a Readme, could that be the problem?\

wheat orchid
#

No

#

So the images are in there?

copper scaffold
#

yes

we are on the same brain wavelength slugthat

mossy smelt
#

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!

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?

mossy smelt
#

it's not

#

rando3.5 just needs benchwarp and qol, qol requires vasi and that's it

cyan canopy
#

cool thanks! Took a bit of reading but the pinned guides are quite clear

white sleet
#

Please help, after i installed mods background of game disappeared

split sluice
#

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).

mossy smelt
split sluice
#

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!

You can also try to install one of the older installer, and as such downpatch to use them

there must be a solution...

Can somebody help me install randomizer mod

weary linden

Im having a problem using the mod installer

#

when i open the game it crashes

real jacinth
#

And do it when your game is closed

south hamlet
#

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?

real jacinth
#

You can do either

#

Rando 3.5 is on scarab

real jacinth
#

What version of windows are you using.

pseudo thunder

10 ig

hollow kestrel
#

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

i downloaded a randomizer 3.5 from scarab

short plaza
#

bruh i cant download mods

cyan canopy
#

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

nimble plank
#

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

brazen pasture
#

it's not a proper fix, but it makes things usable

merry pier
nimble plank
#

yeah rip

#

just realized

#

the thing is I haven't even payed for the game just got it on gamepass

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

merry pier
#

You both need to get an installer and the multiplayer mod and it’s dependencies, everything is in the pin

#

🐌

hardy spindle
#

Thank you a lot

native ice
#

Steam servers, no. You'll use a public server, or a private connection through a VPN, or port forwarding.

hardy spindle
#

Okay, I am not so familiarised with that stuff but I will try to find a safe way to do it

hardy spindle
#

Is it safe to use Co-op servers with IP disabled?

native ice
#

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

elder cedar
#

Can anyone help I'm trying to figure out how to downpatch I'm on win 11 and use steam

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

Then I'm not sure, try disabling your firewall or something maybe, or play on a different Wi-fi

hardy spindle
#

Thanks I am currently playing with my friend

#

There is not a way to play the same map right?

short plaza
#

how i can install to microsoft store hollow knight agoneyes

native ice
#

No, there's not progression sync

hardy spindle
#

Oh no problem

short plaza
#

thats why my life sucks

native ice
#

It's half off on steam right now

short plaza
#

i wont buy hollow knight 2 times tho

hardy spindle
#

Is it hard to develop? I am curious

native ice
#

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 thattamershrug

#

but that's a long ways out

hardy spindle
#

Another question

#

There is any mod that I could directly download from Scarab that would allow me to do the PoP multiple times?

native ice
#

QoL

hardy spindle
#

Thanks!

#

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?

limber bobcat
#

Playing the hollow knight randomizer mod, why can't I use the key? Would really like to have monarch wings...

native ice
#

Uh, that seems like a bug, maybe ask #randomizer. You may just need to give yourself it with debug mod.

pliant lantern
#

You can open a different thing once you've found another key

native ice
#

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

Hi, i am trying to download the mod installer but it is saying this, any help pls?

tribal seal
#

try second installer

#

I just had this problem and the second installer worked

blissful parcel
#

oh thxx

#

do u have a link to the second installer

tribal seal
#

its pinned

blissful parcel
#

thank you

wheat orchid
blissful parcel
#

it worked, thxx

wheat orchid
#

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

tribal seal
wheat orchid
#

So you need to use the scarab mod installer instead

tribal seal
#

I had the same error

wheat orchid
tribal seal
#

yeah

wheat orchid
#

Did you install the ModdingApi mod

tribal seal
#

yes

wheat orchid
#

I’m so confused

pliant lantern
tribal seal
#

ok so now I've reached where there might be a problem

#

everytime I load my save I crash

wheat orchid
#

Use the scarab mod installer

tribal seal
#

ok

wheat orchid
tribal seal
#

nope

wheat orchid
#

Where did you purchase the game

tribal seal
#

steam

wheat orchid
#

In your steam library, on the left side does hollow knight say 1.4.3.2 next to it?

tribal seal
#

nope

wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot the title screen of hollow knight?

tribal seal
wheat orchid
tribal seal
#

this?

wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot the whole thing

tribal seal
wheat orchid
#

So mods are not working

tribal seal
#

yeah i deleted them for scarb

wheat orchid
#

So with the ModdingApi installed, with mod installer 2 it still opened fine and everything played right?

tribal seal
#

The game opened fine but when I loaded a save it gave me the same warning from before from installer 1 and crashed

wheat orchid
#

Well don’t suggest doing that to other people then zote

tribal seal
#

I didn't know till it didnt work

#

sorry

blissful parcel
#

well i cant start hollow knight now :)

#

how do i fix that

wheat orchid
#

Is a controller plugged in

blissful parcel
#

nope

wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot scarab?

tribal seal
#

I verified my files, that fixed my hollow knight'

wheat orchid
#

That also removed mods

tribal seal
#

well this is the person who also followed my suggestion from before using installer 2

#

I verified my files then downloaded scarb

wheat orchid
#

Scarab should overwrite any files that were broken

tribal seal
#

also I don't see the api mod

#

in scarb

wheat orchid
#

It’s been moved since it’s not a normal mod

#

Install any other mod and it will install

blissful parcel
#

I dont know what i did but my game has now started

#

So thats good

novel bronze
#

im confused as hell lmao

blissful parcel
#

Me too

novel bronze
#

Im on 1.5.78 and both scarab and MI2 dont work

pliant lantern
teal rapids
#

where is the custom knight google drive

pliant lantern
#

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)

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

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.

#

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?

My QoL mod is failing to load, does anyone know why is this happening?

zenith pine
#

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

hollow oriole
#

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

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

#

Well thanks for clearing that up, guess I'll have to replay the game which isnt too bad, I dont mind

native ice
#

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

late bronze
#

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

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

twilit crescent
#

Rando2? That’s out of date, you should use rando 3

hollow oriole
#

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

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?

  1. I don’t know why that mod installer is named that way but that might mean it’s outdated
  2. 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

#

why cant i toggle

wheat orchid
# knotty ocean yrp

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

knotty ocean
#

ok

wheat orchid
gleaming dew
wheat orchid
gleaming dew

didnt work

knotty ocean
#

#

@wheat orchid which one do i install?"

wheat orchid
# gleaming dew 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

wheat orchid
knotty ocean
#

k

wheat orchid
#

Get the file below it if you want to host a server without running the game

knotty ocean
#

it doesnt have an app for it

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

knotty ocean
#

then how

wheat orchid
#

If it did there’d be quite a bit more than mods that you’d be able to put in the mod installer

knotty ocean
#

no i mean when I open it, it shows an error

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

#

That’s what I mean

knotty ocean
#

then what do i do

sharp thistle
#

Hey, relyea made a new video explaining how tomod. could we pin it here?

wheat orchid
knotty ocean
sharp thistle
#

It explains how download mods and he does an example of it

wheat orchid
#

Also does it give examples for both 1.5 and 1.4.3.2 or one?

wheat orchid
sharp thistle
#

Only 1.4.3.2

wheat orchid
#

Not that useful then

sharp thistle
#

But I think he'll do an example for scarab soon

wheat orchid
#

We’ve already got a million mod tutorials for 1.4.3.2

sharp thistle
#

oh

#

why cant me make a mod tutorial for scarab and pin it here?

knotty ocean
#

ok i installed it

#

now what

wheat orchid
wheat orchid
knotty ocean
#

and how do you use it>

wheat orchid
#

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

what is the latest rando mod and how do i install it cuz my modinstaller says my version's outdated?

That just means there was an update and the version you have is outdated, click the orange box to update it

i was being dum

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

rough harbor

k

wheat orchid
grizzled scroll
wheat orchid
rough harbor
#

thanks

tame charm
#

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

rough harbor
#

yea it was what i was looking for now i can inventory drop and lever skip

#

many thanks

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

grizzled scroll
#

and i just delete the files?

stable osprey
#

No,

wheat orchid
#

Only ones with global settings in their names

wheat orchid
grizzled scroll
#

the files are named global settings or they are global setings?

wheat orchid
#

Both

#

There’s some of both sometimes

grizzled scroll
#

i found files named user1.dat.pak

wheat orchid
#

Those are backups of your save files

#

userX is either a save file or a backup

grizzled scroll
#

i have to delete theme too?

wheat orchid
#

No

wheat orchid

Anything related to globalsettings

#

userX files are not

i copy pasted these : %APPDATA%..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\

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?

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

wheat orchid
#

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

I keep crashing when i launch Hollow knight via steam , (i have ModInstaller2 Installed)

Could somebody help me w that

wheat orchid
#

You most likely have hollow knight ver 1.5.x.x, mod installer 2 is for 1.4.3.2

cursive cave
#

Do you know how to downgrade versions on steam ?

wheat orchid
#

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

Go to your save files path and move user#.dat to another location (# is a number 1-4 corresponding to the save slot)

rose nexus
#

Ok. Thanks

#

This ones?

wheat orchid
#

Just userX.dat, once those are copied you can delete everything else, just backups

rose nexus
#

OK

#

One last question. I have to delete EVERYTHING in that folder or just save files?

wheat orchid
#

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

rose nexus
#

OK

#

I had to remove the save files inside the game beacuse the keep going back

does it show a popup with the game's icon and an exclamation mark?

for a split second

which version of the game you're using

like whatever is most recent, thats what i have

which mod installer are you using? scarab is the one for 1.5

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

novel bronze

I saw that

#

I'm not sure what you're stuck on though

#

or what you don't know

novel bronze
pliant lantern
#

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

novel bronze
#

ok thanks

leaden lichen

so, if i tried the beta before I did the mod installer then it wouldn't work?

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

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 RandomizerMod3,5

What 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.
