current patch isn't a beta
current patch isn't 1.4
current patch isn't 1.2.2.1
is there any mod that unlocks all the charms and stuff since the beggining or smth like that?
debug mod
tyty
ever since I updated to new version of scarab, I'm not able to pick up any geo, not even using gathering swarm. It still makes the pickup sound, but just stays on the ground. Also not sure if it's related but custom knight also stopped working (it doesn't show up in the mod menu but does in the top left) the two mods I was using were moresaves and customknight, moresaves seems to still work fine. Anyone know what I can try to fix this?
im using 1.4.2.3 mod installer and I downloaded like half the mods but the second half of them just dont download then the modinstaller crashes and I have more than enough storage, i also have the error if you need it (I have not tried just downloading one at a time instead of in bulk)
you need satchel
i do have Satchel in the top left of my screen, is that what you mean?
found answer in the pins
i fixed it downloading but now when I disable the mods it instantly crashes and uninstalls
what OS, which installer, where is the installer, where did you game the game, can you screenshot the mods folder
wot
could someone help me out im trying to download the mod installer but when I look up a vid to help me out its a different mod installer on discord\
what OS - what operating system
which installer - which installer are you using
where is the installer - where is it in your pc
where did you game the game - where did you buy the game (typo)
can you screenshot the mods folder - can you take a computer picture of the folder where the mods are
Mod installer 2, Data D: > steamapps > common > Hollow knight, steam
i dont know how to answer half of those questons
that's cause it's not meant for you
?
that's = that is
cause = because
it's = it is
not meant for you = not meant for you
?
drop one of the modinstaller error logs here
can you screenshot the installer, and what mods does this occur with
and does this also happen with modinstaller 1
the mods that dont work are spread out between the entire loader
so I might have to send multiple pics
also for that error I sent they are not all like that that was for a certain mod I get an error for every mod
drop the most recent one
you can also try running modinstaller2 as admin on your desktop
but you also have enough mods to chunk or crash your game so
taht showed them all in the enabled folder
???
these are all enabled because your disabled folder is there, so youre not in the disabled folder, so they're not disabled
so I put them in disabled?
well i would note what mods don't work, delete majority of those, then see if the mod downloads still work, i don't see why anyone would need that many mods
k thx
Hi, I have a question. The multiplayer mod is for the version 1.4.3.2 only?
No
It's on 1.5
Thank you so much now everythings working
If you're talking about the "Multiplayer Client" and "Multiplayer Server", those are only on 1.4, but they're outdated. Instead you should be using HKMP, available on both patches but only on the 1.5 installer #archived-modding-help message
Oh! I found it. Thanks 
When i try to install modinstaller, it says i need to update to latest patch
How do you share items when playing HKMP?
itemsync #modding-discussion pins
is scarab used for mods for the latest update?
and also hi everyone i hope everyone is good <3
yes
I recently changed patches because on linux because my 1432 patch didn't have controller support so I was looking for something more updated
I followed this and there were no effects
I was also trying to do a clean wipe of modding and found this #archived-modding-help message, I noticed there were other .globalsettings files in that folder but I wasn't told to delete them, should I have?
I thought I'd be able to get the "first run" behavior, with the prompt to select the folder and all, after I deleted all files and reinstalled the game, but I haven't after several deletions and reboots. Can I get some help on installing with Scarab?
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
👍
also every time I've opened Scarab the "toggle API" button is greyed out and I haven't been able to find out what that means
game starts just fine but mods dont load and mod menu is empty in game but mods are present in the folder help pls (1.4)
I think I broke something by deleting the "mods" folder when I was trying to delete all of the HK modding stuff manually, but I have no idea how to fix it because uninstalling the game and Scarab then reinstalling both doesn't recreate the mods folder
Toggle api is for the modding api, the thing that makes all the mods work, shouldn't need to press it really
yeah, my point was I can't even interact with the button at all
Did you try to actually install a mod with scarab
Yea, doesn't matter
Ignore it
oh shit mb, I thought it installed stuff automatically when opened
let me try to launch the game again
ok cool it works now and BingoUI didn't load
(ignore this, BingoUI just needed the randomizer installed, lol)
Damn I've been on this for like 30 minutes and the solution for almost the entire time was just to install something, now I feel like an idiot
controller support works too
only test left is to see if it all works on reboot
aaaand it does, cool!
Well if anyone else on Pop_OS 21.10 or ubuntu comes in here in the future bemoaning Switch Pro controller support not working, I can at least say Scarab did work and ModInstaller2 did not.
bringing my message to the bottom

help
uninstall art mod
does mod installer two need to be put into my hollow knight or is it automatic?
aight
my mods wont load after opening the game
try downpatching
Did you read the pin I directed you to?
already at 1.4
.
which pin
.
oh
thank you so much Cyren!!!
i did the thing like 3 times still having the same problem
wait whats the xbox live mod?
try this then
#archived-modding-help message
could you elaborate? never heard of that mod
Hello, I have a problem, I have a dark past of piracy but I am buying my favorite games, Hollow Knight being one of them
The problem I have is that when I had it illegal I put the life bars mod on it, but the mod installer recognized that I had it hacked, now that I have it legal I want the mod again, but it only opens the alert that the game it is not bought
delete the pirated version and reset the mod installer
#archived-modding-help message
still didnt work
?
you're using a 1.4.3.2 installer on a 1.5 game
not sure what the problem is tbh
what os, what installer?
is there any reason you have to be on 1.4.3.2 instead of 1.5? cause if not then you can just update and it'll probably be fine
modinstaller 2 works on 1.5?
no, but scarab does
scarab doesnt have multiplayer
yes it does
hkmp
oh
if you were looking to use multiplayer client/multiplayer server, don't
those are super outdated and buggy
hkmp is better
it has 1.4.3.2 and 1.5 versions anyway
For some reason modinstaller isnt working on my macbook,any download links?

starting a randomizer 3.5 on 1.5 crashes immediately, using these (default rando settings, Pop_OS 21.10)
It says it quit unexpectedly
Scarab doesn't open correctly on MacOS
🔹 Move the file you downloaded (mac.zip) to your Desktop
🔹 Double-Click it, and Scarab
should appear
🔹 Right-Click the Scarab
icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file.
If for some reason you're using 1432, the same thing applies
that should totally be pinned
you're missing vasi
Where is the macos file located, sorry
start at the first point, move down
don't skip to the last step
yes
thanks!
Where do I need to have it enabled
huh, maybe it's one of those mods that doesn't show up on the title screen? I don't remember
uhh, try playing with just vasi, benchwarp, qol, and rando3.5 enabled
already did, same thing happens
scarab dies when i try to install custom knight
should i erase the old files of the mod?
that's an issue I've been hearing a lot today, dunno if there's a fix
can't hurt to try
scarab 1.6 seems to be having issues with customknight
lets see
That's odd
Try Installing Satchel first, then when it's done loading install Custom Knight?
In the folder with Scarab, is there a crash log?
scratch that, I mistakenly thought SFCore was required for rando to work but had it mistaken with Vasi, my problem was running SFCore without HKHKHK, working now
yeah
Can you post that log?
Fwiw, you can run SFCore without HKHKHKHKHKHK; you can't run HKHKHKHKHKHK without SFCore though.
help 😭
if you go to steam
you can go to hollow knight properties
then go to local files
then browse
where did you get the game from?
Did you try to install something else while CustomKnight was still downloading/installing?
don't think that's the problem, tons of people have had issues with installing customknight today
From what I gather, it crashed just because it was "interrupted" while doing something.
What does "Silk song but not really" does?
what?
It says you can play as hornet
oh, the mod
Play as hornet, using the actual Hornet sprites/animations. Some of the world is edited to give a story to it, and have people recognize that you're Hornet as well
But the real hornet, the boss and use her attacks, or just a skin?
no
just custom knight
maybe installing custom knight manually?

You definitely can do that in the meantime. It's odd that Scarab is crashing though.
This is the current CustomKnight download:

Hi! I was trying to download the Mod Installer in order to play in Randomizer mode, but it keeps telling me to use the latest version of the game. I play on version 1.5.78 (as far as I know it's the latest version). Are there any newer versions that I don't know or is this a mod bug anyway?

Hi, I'm trying to run the mod installer and I'm getting the problem Lupi is getting. How is it you fix this so I may get some QoL Mods?
what do i do if i installed the mods i want and its all in the folders and i load up the game and nothing is there
I managed to solve my problem, thanks for the help! :)
What game version are you on?
What installer did you use?
im on the newest game version using scarab
What is the name of the mod that let you level up on benches?
bonfire? i think
Custom Knight isn't showing up for my friend in the menu. We have the exact same mods, files, etc, versions, etc, but it works for me. The only difference is that he's on Windows 11, so that may affect it. (I'm on Windows 10). Any suggestions?
What game version? Is the mod name showing up in the top left of the pause/main menu?
The game version is 1.5.78.11833; modding API is the same but with "-67" at the end.
The mod name is at the top left.

Download Scarab
Use that instead of mod installer
Unzip the folder it came in, move it to your desktop, run scarab.exe
Whenever I load the mods into hollow knight it changes the language however I can't turn it back to English what do I do?
install mods
Uninstall arts mod
Thank you
what path do we choose for installing the mods to the game
like do we make a hk copy or use normal folder
Use your game files
same crash?
sure
For anyone that uses my example Custom Knight skin install image, but isn't on the Modding server for w/e reason, here's an updated version for 1578 CK:
Try going to your steam library > right clicking HK > properties > local files > Verify integrity of game files > wait for it to finish > Open scarab, install any mod
i dont have steam
Where did you get the game from?
uh
yes
You must have a legitimate copy of the game to use mods
Currently only the Steam and official GoG ones work with modding.
Both are on sale right now as well, and Steam does regional pricing if you're in an area where that applies.
How does the collectors edition disk work? Does it just not? I know collectors edition comes with a steam code though
It would have been whatever patch the game was on when that came out
ah
i dont know what you are talking about
nut
i mean but
i can show you my directory
Without steam or GoG Galaxy, you'll probably have to re-install the game to fix it, assuming you do have a legitmate disc copy
That copy isn't compatible with mods though most likely
as it's from an older patch of the game
no its 1.5
If it's a random disc with current patch, then it's not a legitimate copy
AFAIK, current patch hasn't been released on a disc
can only mod legitimate copies
what can i do
buy the game
my game does not open
¯_(ツ)_/¯
^
well i have buy it once from the so my mom wont allow me to buy it again
lol rip me
rip to our fallen soldier
YOOO IT WORKS! thank you for the help RiverRobot sempai
So, legitimate question. I've got a handful of mods installed, I'll list them here. Benchwarp, Bonfire, Custom Knight, HP Bar, FSFNA (Fragile Nail Arts), ModCommon, MoreSaves, QoL, Rando3, SereCore, SFCore, Vasi and WeaverCore. Why is it in Kings Pass I am just levitating if I jump? And why can't I bench at dirtmouth?
5
¯_(ツ)_/¯
disable mods until you find the ones causing the problem
Found an enemy randomizer how do I randomize item drops?
Find an item randomizer instead of enemy
Download Randomizer 3
Downloaded is there something else I have to do? Went and tested it and still got fury of the fallen unless it somehow randomized into itself..
did you see a config screen when making a new save?
No
What mods do you have installed? Try installing ModCommon, WeaverCore, and MoreSaves
(Moresaves so you can just have an additional save, so you can have 3 normal runs and 1 rando)
ModCommon is 1.4 only, they might be on 1.5, more saves is also bugged on 1,4
Do any of the mod names show up in the top left of the main/pause menu?
Benchwarp
Corrupted Kin
Custom Knight
Enemy Randomizer
Item changer
Mod Common
Mod console
Qol?
Randomizer 3
Vasi
Weaver core
That's a yes?
No
They're not showing up in-game?
No
when i downloaded the mods thing it wont update the modding API, anyone got any solutions?
What should I open the mods with? Fire fox
Explorer
Notepad
Paint?
Windows media
WordPad
Or something I should download?
Don't open them
In-game, if you open the options menu, is there a mods tab?
What?
Yes there is a mod tab but it is blank
Try this
It asks for a way to open the files what do I select?
Why are you trying to open the files? You shouldn't need to open any files
Windows + R I typed what Mickey said for windows and after I press OK it asks for my "How do you want to open this file?" am I doing something wrong?
Screenshot what you typed
This exactly
and when you click ok what does it show you?
||This is why I just link the .bat at this point. It's easier
||
reading comprehension 
After deleting every file with Modding Api Global I ended up with this was this correct..
yes
The Mod menu still appears blank..
when I hit run on my game it just randomly stops
does it crash before or after the loading bar
crash as soon I open it
are you using a controller
how do you use the multiplayer mod?
use HKMP, put in the IP and port, connect
?
keyboard
is one plugged in or connected
neither
is there an image that pops up with the knights face
what?
as a crash handler
you confusing me
hm, what version is your game and what modinstaller are you using
1.4.3.2
and what modinstaller are you using
1.5

where can I get customknight skins?
I just got a new skin and I can't apply it onto hollow knight because scarab says the custom knight mod is out of date. What should I do?
you need to download and install modinstaller (pinned messages) and mod for it in it
it doesn't work with Scarab?
There should be a folder in the pins
i just wondering where get the custom skins to download... anyone now?
what is "pins" (if you ment pinned messages i didnt find anything ib them)
can i play multiplayer with someone using a different mod client?
you can play multiplayer?
there is a multiplayer mod
that message. it's also in the pinned messages of this channel
yea i find this one but i cannot see how they look before i install them
can anyone help me with this error ?
it keeps happening when i try to download custom knight ... every other mods are ok and can be installed but not custom night
im using scarab
why aren't my mods appearing ingame?
yay! :D
Look at the pins there is a list of common custom knight problem
For whatever reason, whenever I try to switch to another skin, my sprite just bugs out completely and you cannot see the knight anymore
there’s a multiplayer mod yeah
And making your own skins is kinda tough
just found it
you now at least some web page or something like that where i can found o lot of good skins?
tough in the sense that you have to draw over almost all of the knight’s sprites
Why the id.txt file does not generate?
what version does the game have to be in for the mod installer to work?
Help how do I get to Scarab in my folder
it has to be either 1.4 or 1.5 each version having a different installer

i got a critical structure corruption from installing and open scarab
Did you unzip it, and move the new folder out of your downloads folder?
all

you're using a 1432 installer on a 1.5 game
Ok so forgive me for asking a potentially stupid question which link do I click?
depends
On what?
if you intend to stay on current patch, you use scarab
Ok
if you want to downpatch, you can use either installer 1 or 2, depending on your OS
yes, that's what it says
I downpatched my game trough steam, but I am unable to run the game here on Mac, how can I fix this?
So do i download all of the files that the link i clicked on showed me?
Probably not? It appears to affect a lot of people, and many of them it's their first time using Scarab.
It's also not just custom Knight, but that's been the most common
Depends on which link you clicked
the current patch scarab 56
i wonder if the modlinks update from 3 days ago messed it up
Well, are you on windows or mac?
windows
then you download windows.zip
So do you want the mac version?
Sorry i didnt notice the labels
tyra's updated successfully though
I clicked on the download link what do i do now?
then they just cleared the globalsettings file
unzip to desktop and run the exe
their CK updated to 1.6
but they had this issue
so a settings clear worked
Sorry idk what that means
unzip the zip on your desktop
run the program
Tried what it said, nothing changed and the doc with additional instructions didn't work too
It doesn't appear to actually install for everyone though

32-bit users should use the 1.4.3.2 version You can install our last 32-bit compatible version by right-clicking Hollow Knight in your Steam library, click Properties, Betas, and select 1.4.3.2.

so you did this ^
after doing this:
did you wait long enough for the downpatch?
it takes a few minutes
and even sits on 100% for awhile

i believe you, it's just weird
especially for first time installers
tyra was a version updater
and was the only one i interacted with
so dunno about the others
i was installing a custom knight skin when it said i gotta replace some files in Hollow_Knight_data, did the process and when i launched the game it says "PreloadData" is missing, replaced the modded files with normal ones and its still showing, what the heck im supposted to do
what did you replace
Extract .zip.
Open Scarab and install Satchel.
Then when it's done, click "open mods folder" at bottom left.
Move the Custom Knight folder into the mods folder.
(Double check: directly inside of the Custom Knight folder, there should be a CustomKnight.dll . If there isn't, then you have an extra folder on accident)
and also globalgamemanagers.assets
I think i got it. Thank you everyone for bearing with me and helping me. Much Appreciated
what skin were you installing that is having you replace asset files
you might have to be on 1432 if you're replacing assets
whats 1432

uh version of hollow knight?
what else
Use the skin from this post instead. It doesn't have some of the "extra" features, but it works for current patch like any other CK skin
can i get some help
i have the original hollow knight but the mod installer doesnt work
what version u got
Where did you purchase it

For the only person I've interacted with about it, they didn't have the fiber installed at all it seems. I'm not sure if it's failing to extract the .zip?
Like, both modlinks and Scarab updated, so it's hard to tell which broke.
Apparently in addition to Custom Knight, God Seeker Plus has been giving people issues.
on steam
try scarab maybe
im using 1.4.3.2 version
Don’t use scarab then
then mod installer should work
can someone send me a link to a mod installer that actually works ?

Did you downpatch or not? (If you don’t know, no)
Which mod installer are you using
Nah, people often use a installer for the wrong ver
i mean scarab worked for me
When did this problem start?
On the current patch mod loader are there custom skins or is that a different download
Replaced what files
All installers have CustomKnight
some in hollow_knight_data
yeah
Then that explains it
yes, skin files that were made for 1.4.3.2
I thought that only allowed skins
i replaced it with normal ones and its still not working
uhh, yes?
is that not what you were asking for?
Where did you obtain the normal files
probably from the skin, so the normal files were also for 1.4.3.2
when i downloaded a skin, there was one folder with modded files and normal ones
Idk if it is i was looking for skins does customknight give you skins?
yes, those were for 1.4.3.2
Im so confised
that makes sense
Confused
can i get normal files somewhere
it lets you use skins, you can download them from the pins
Ok thanks,much apprecated
Go to steam, right click hk, click properties, click local files, click verify
Files will fail to validate and be redownloaded
alright im gonna try that
Then reinstall the ModdingApi in scarab
it wont affect my saves right?
can i deactivate modloader somehow? i want to start hk in vanilla
damn tysm it worked
Verify Integrity of the game in steam
You can also select "disable modding API" in your installer, but that doesn't always work for people if it didn't make the backup files correctly
thank you <3
idk whats going on
i use the modinstaller 2 and i select the mods and when i open the game i dont have any mod
anyone can help me ??
can you screenshot the modinstlaler
try resetting the installer #archived-modding-help message
okok
Ok so on my PC the mod installer stopped working because then ever I try and use the mods hand won't work so I want to ask how to get the scarab mod installer
how do install mods with modinstaller 2? it doesn't look like it gives me any option
just like has checkboxes for whether I have a mod installed or not
what's this mean?
I am also wondering how to get scarab

To any people that have had an issue recently where Scarab crashes when installing Custom Knight (or God Seeker Plus):
- What operating system are you on (Widows or other; what version of Windows, such as 7/8/10/11)
- Do you have multiple copies of Hollow Knight installed?
- Where did you get HK from originally?
|| Tagging @pallid vector and @warm leaf ||
means you have an incompatible API with the version you're running
It was working yesterday
Please respond to this message and leave ping enabled if you do.
is it worth ( or good idea ) installing mods into your first/main save file ( i already got one of the endings and got the ||void heart|| charm)
if you want
Windows 10, 1 copy, Steam
how do i, like, actually download the hollow point mod? im on the site and i cant figure it out
Personally, I'd suggest making a backup of main saves always.

When i tried to make a server in hkmp my friend cant join. Any help?
1 copy meaning you do or don't have multiple installs?
Like 1 install plus 1 copy of it?
Just the one
Did you follow the HKMP guide by geroyuni?
LEt me check....
That's equally confusingly phrased, but I'll assume that you mean that you do not have multiple installs
I used the one by ThebadPilot
Everytime I try to install god seeker plus it scarab crashes I only have one copy from steam on windows 11
can you drop the crash report here
is user1.dor one of the save files?
yes
all of the user1 or just the .dat?
got it thanks
hold on if i want to make a save file back up do i just go for user1 .dotor the back up ?
user1.dat
ok thanks
Disabled Satchel and Custom Knight and HK is working fine now
Are you on Mac?
Thank you for this btw!
I actually came here rto get the easy mode mod but this server is really nice
my hollow knighyt wont launch when i installed the new mod installer
what should i do
Read the first three pins, and see if there's anything there that applies to you
first 3 pins?
There's an Easy Mode mod on Scarab iirc. You may want to disable "don't lose shade on death" though, because that breaks the game until you have a key item.

yeah im looking and im not seeing it
i tried doing hte first one but when a hollow knight launches on steam, it just says unity and completely shuts the program down
Are you on mobile?
nope
im on computer
Its in th eup right corner
upright corner everyone says that but i dont see anything
Mod Installer says it "requires latest stable version":
AKA Playing 1.4.3.2 Mods
Important:
If you want to play a mod that's not on 1.5/Scarab yet, then you'll need to do the following:
Steam users can opt-in to a "1.4.3.2 Beta" patch, found in Properties > Beta > then selecting it from the drop-down list. You do not need a code! See the attached image for a visual guide on doing this. Note: it takes a few minutes to revert the game!
GoG Galaxy users can opt to download 1.4.3.2 by opening the game settings in the GoG launcher and selecting it from the list of patches.
MacOS users

oh wait hold onm
I copy pasted it now
Nah, went to appdata and cleared the HKinstaller settings - fixed it
oh wait i didnt downpatch it
how do i um, do the randomizer interface
or how do i access it?
are there any quality of life mods
healthbar for enemies
Instal the mod thing and then look for enemy health bar
You probably just need to reset your global settings file for it.
Go to your save files folder, and delete the custom Knight global settings files

What Mod Launcher did you get?
on nexus mods
Do task manager
now it exited from hk
downpatch your game to 1.4.3.2 or use a 1.5 installer
uhh the what?
Don't use Nexus mods for hk
so i can install the 1.5 ver
win10, just one and from steam
where did you get the game?
pirated it like a piece of shit i am
can't mod pirated versions
damn
It's on sale on steam for a few more days
how much i have 280 bucks to spend
It's 50% off iirc. If you live in a place where regional pricing applies, then steam has the cheapest version
So, for most people it's about $8 USD right now. For some, it's even less.
for me 7.5$
will i get the expansions like god master and those things
its not even 1k din
which is like 8.5 bucks
the "expansions" are part of the base game
dlc is free
YESS
there is no actual DLC for hollow knight
yep, they're basically just big free updates
cant rn gtg sleep
the "DLC" pack that steam sells is just the game plus the soundtrack
no game content
the villains & gods dlc u mean?
Yup. That is just the OST
ok
(which is 🔥, tbf)
Does a mod that allows you to fight the hunter exist?
wut do u mean by fire
It's very good lol
If you buy the OST, you get the lossless versions, which are incredibly good. I listen to them as bg music while doing other stuff a lot.
Nope. Certainly an idea though.
how does buying soundtracks from steam work? do you just get a zip of flac files or what
Also is there a way to mod hk on a switch?
no
i adore playing hk while listening to some videos best thing ever
maybe jail breaking but thats prob very very risky
and wont work also
im no expert on the matter im just going by the things i heard before
Yeah jailbraking is very risky also it blocks me from online game so if silksong had online content i wouldnt be able to access it
it blocks you from online play oof
ye its not worth it at all
better get a pc and buy hk
it doesnt take a monster
If you’re caught it blocks online play
to run hk
so like drm?
bricks if it detects piracy
but instead of bricking it blocks online play
As long as you’re really safe, (use airplane mode, disable Nintendo online backups, don’t let it brick or anything) I don’t think that would happen
Not traditional modding. There exists a very technical way to replace the Knight's skin with custom Knight skins, but I don't know the specifics
litelary isolate the switch
Ive got a pc but i dont want to buy hk for it i already have it on switch and mod installer doesnt it when hk is installed through in any way that doesnt involve a cd disk or steam
to the point of radio silence
my scarab isn't working. It was working before but now when i open it it's just blank, then it closes by itself. anyone know why that would be?
did u tamper with somethin
wow the scarab update really broke it
no i didnt
i havent touched it sinse last installing one of the mods, but now it's just not working at all
then its the update thing that fucked alot of ppl up
It's only ~$8 usd on steam right now. Seems worth it to support devs you like the work of.
oof
anyway to fix it??
it being blank alone can be fixed by using a vpn
btw does this error appear on win11
Dunno if that's the same issue tho, since it doesn't usually cause crashing
yeah it is
I dont think $8 dollars is going to bring silksong any closer
Someone should really fix scarab
u
the devs who made scarab
I believe I am a mod dev and my nickname is also Someone though
OI U MADE SCARAB
I did not
ur about me says u make mods for games and + ur nickname is scarab
Mistype/autocorrect dumb
so i assumed
so is there no way to fix this rn? do i just gotta wait?
Seems like it
it looks like u gonna need to wait
damn
okay, thanks guys
(For any programmers wondering) looks like the biggest things between last release and this release is 1. It uses .net framework 6 and 2. It uses HttpClient
How do you even start modding hk
Making or playing?
Making mods
learn like how to code first
ye
idk what language they use though
^ that’s preferred
C#
oh
it doesn't seem like the source of the error tho
didnt know that, thanks
It sounds like something about .net framework 6 might be it. Maybe it’s not installed properly or something?
it seems fine
If you want we can also give you a link to the hollow knight modding server
if .NET 6 is not installed it would not even start
no need, thanks though
Maybe it’s an avalonia problem?
I'm trying my best to use vs debugger to get the source of the exception and the values given, but the way it's coded makes vs debugger useless
doesn't seem like it, but I can't confirm
hi i want to give myself infinite charm notches and just fuck around how do i do that
Oh god
lol
Cant you do it with mod installer
I don't know if this is a bug or a mod I didn't notice I installed but when I heal it heals very quickly and doesn't use the intended amount of soul. Also the soul meter doesn't gray out
Effect of having hollow point on that save file
?pins there’s instructions in the pins for fixing hollow point soul
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
Ok ty
it was not
Is there a way to have the bindings mod be quicker to toggle on and off without having to reload my save file every time I wanna take a break from AB practice?
Turning it off in the mod menu seems to bug and the soul bar, nail damage and health gets restored albeit not visually, but I still can't have charms and it removes all my charms whenever I go through a loading screen. The only way to fix this has been reload my save and that's tedious.
?pins I’m not sure if that mod is on the most recent version of hollow knight, but I know it’s on 1.4.3.2. You can either revert to 1.4.3.2 and use a mod installer for 1.4.3.2 or get the scarab mod installer (for 1.5) and check if infinite notches is on there. Infinite notches will also permanently give that save file infinite notches unless you save edit it out (methods of save editing in the same pinned message as the hollow point soul fix), links to mod installers and his to revert to 1.4.3.2 in the first pinned message
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
Oh yea, for context, I run 1.4.3.2 not 1.5 if that helps
Without reprogramming it, I don’t think so
1.5 would also be easier since there’s more customizable mod menus there
1.5 ticks me off with the Watcher Knight "fix" and the fact they left Sly's hitbox broken.
Nope
What changed with wk?
I tried the "Toggleable bindings mod" that's in the Mod Installer but it does absolutely nothing no matter what I push. 1.5 WK can backroll which is stinky. 1.4.3.2 Watchers can't.
fixed the backroll thing
Bindings menu opens with down+S (or whatever your cdash is bound to)
It just made me Cdash and does nothing iIrc but I'll try again
My friend recently modded his game, he now cant heal, he's tried removing the mods, re-mapping the buttons, re-installing the game and he doesn't know what to do
I found
Ok it works. It was probably an input problem.
What is it?
Is there a mod for bindings in hall of gods?
Really?
so .zip" is left
Nah it's also the same on 1.4.3.2
.zip is not .zip or .dll
I use modInstaller on 1.4.3.2, it works this way for me
so it throws a an error saying file extension is not recognised
Huh
It does this. Which seems to work.
for context:
Installer.cs line 293 and 235
if i decide to go down to 1.4 what content am i missing on this earlier version
how will my save files be affected by down patching
Won’t
oh cool
Since nothing was really added
The real changes were all backend which made porting mods tougher than other updates
so its completely safe to down patch at any time
To 1.4.3.2? Yeah
aight
1.5 and 1.4.3.2 are the same content wise
i need a beta access code?
1.2.2.1 or something like that? Every save file opened will loose its progress for dlcs past it
No you don’t
Click the drop down menu
me? (yes i did)
Alright, good. Just click the orange box to update it
I am crying it was this simple since the beggining ;-;
YOUHOU IT WORKS ty dude
Quick summary:
The received file name is surrounded with "s, resulting in the File.GetExtension method returning .extension", which can never be .dll or .zip, resulting in Installer.cs line 264 to throw an NotImplementedException.
dunno
just installed it
im disappointed
who
who did this
ok imma need some help
im trying to add this invulnerability mod i found and
how do i add it
i clicked manually install mods and selected the file
and it didnt appear
aw nuts whyd it reset my bindings
Sorry to interrupt but I need help :(. I'm trying to install Scarab CustomSkin mod on HK 1.5 but after a few seconds when I click install Scarab crashes and doesn't complete the installation of the mod. It doesn't leave any error message, it just closes. Sorry for my English I hope it is understood u.u.
scarab and customknight are currently broken
for now, manually install it from here
https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/releases/download/v1.6.0/CustomKnight.zip
Oh, okay, thanks, I'll try!
where did you get that mod
…debug mod can give you invincibility
Don’t search for mods outside the installers unless a youtuber has used them in the last 2 years
Either they’re incompatible with all other mods including the ModdingApi (probably your case) or very old and won’t work on current patches
just extract the zip files into the HK mods folder?
okay, thank uu
press esc
what does the god soul mod do
Iirc it does a bunch of random things to increase difficulty
he cant find a save file?
ok
