thanks

Scarab only downloads the ReadMe if it is bundled with the mod (as a .zip).
If the mud does that, then the ReadMe is on the folder for the mod itself. If not, then no easily accessible ReadMe grubsad

How do you get the multiplayer mod?

pliant lantern

#

Hey, can anyone help me out, I'm trying to install mods but every time I download them I get a unhandled exception and it says that the process cannot access the file because another process is already using it

real jacinth
#

close your game

signal lagoon
#

already tried that

real jacinth
#

then you'll have to be more specific about what you're doing

signal lagoon
#

I'm just trying to install custom knight

real jacinth
#

which installer are you using. where'd you buy the game. what patch is your game

signal lagoon
#

I'm using the Mod Installer 1, I bought it from steam, and I have it on 1.4.3.2 right now

pliant lantern
#

Move the mod installer out of your downloads folder

real jacinth
#

does it say baldur.png?

pliant lantern
#

Preferably to desktop

signal lagoon
#

alright, and yes it does say baldur.png

real jacinth
#

yeah, move to desktop, run as admin

signal lagoon
#

alright, I'll give it a shot now

#

It's working, thanks guys

native ice
signal lagoon
#

Ok, now some of the mods are working but some of them still have the same exception

novel bronze
turbid condor
#

i just tried opening mod installer 1 and its telling me to update my game but it has just been installed

#

maybe i need to open the game first?

signal lagoon
#

you've got to use version 1.4.3.2

#

if it's in steam you can go to your game and go to beta to change it

real jacinth
signal lagoon
#

this is the error and I was trying to download the debug mod

Screenshot_1.png
real jacinth
#

close everything. then delete that D:\tmp\modinstaller folder

#

then open the installer again

lime glacier
#

It's not letting me enable any mods. Scarab recognized my game and let me open the folder but when I try to install any of the mods it just loads forever and sometimes crashes

#

For my brother it only took a couple seconds per mod on a different computer

#

Any Idea what's wrong?

real jacinth
#

dont click the enable button

#

you should only be clicking the install boxes

lime glacier
#

That's what I'm doing

real jacinth
#

is it giving you an error log? are you connected to the internet? is your game open?

lime glacier
#

The game is open, I'm on the internet, what's an error log?

real jacinth
#

the game must be closed

#

you can't mod something while it's running

lime glacier
#

Oh okay

#

Thanks

real jacinth
#

that's like changing a car tire while you're driving

lime glacier
#

Makes sense

#

Thanks

i added a ne wskin to my custom knight and now i cant equip my skins

hybrid spear
#

is there a good tas tool for hk ?

stoic acorn
#

i just downloaded the scarab mod installer, and i ran the exe, but how do I tell if it's actually working? is there a particular file i need to put all the stuff from the .zip into?

real jacinth
#

unzip all contents to a folder on desktop

#

you'll know it's working when the program window opens

turbid condor
#

Which mods do you all recommend and which mods are op?

stoic acorn
#

the program window as in the scarab exe? bc that opened fine, but how do I make sure its working when I actually open hollow knight (sorry for the questions)

#

nvm i installed the debug mod and it showed up fine I guess i just needed to actually download something

solemn parcel
#

hello

#

I tried installing the debug mod in 1.2.2.1 and now everytime I open the game it tells me "Unable to load mono library from "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 126)."

#

how do I fix this

digital ice
#

Hi hi, I wanted to download the debug mod, anyone knows where I should go to get more info on that ?

real jacinth
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
digital ice
#

tyty <33

oblique turtle
#

click on more info, then run anyway

#

probably smartscreen(windefender) flag it because it doesn't have a digital signature

#

remember to use the 1.4.3.2 patch of hollow knight !

#

if you want to mod the 1.5.* patch or above, you need to use scarab

native ice
#

it should be pretty self explanatory, what's wrong?

real jacinth
#

Make sure modding api is installed first

#

And enabled

native ice
#

Okay, close the game and open mod installer 2, then look for the "Modding API" in the mod list, check if it's installed and enabled

wheat orchid
#

Oh yeah

#

Good point

real jacinth
#

And doesn't say out of date

#

Then do what someone said. Lol

wheat orchid
#

I got the “If mods option is there” reversed 🤦‍♂️

cold girder
#

was in fact out of date

#

i updated it like 3 times and it didnt work kekw

#

just worked

wheat orchid
#

Was the game on in those times

cold girder
#

no

#

worked thanks :D

lucid wadi
#

Hey, just a preliminary check before I even try, but how difficult would it be to set up multiplayer for me and my friends to play together?

wheat orchid
#

Using a public server on patch 1.5? Easy, private server, harder, patch 1.4.3.2, harder

lucid wadi
#

I'm looking at the HKMP Mod, which says it requires 1.5, thought I am planning on hosting a private server, probably through either a VPN or port forwarding

wheat orchid
#

Alright

#

You can use hkmp on 1.4.3.2 but it’s a older version and often confused with a pair of discontinued multiplayer mods

lucid wadi
#

Yes, this one is the 1.5, it links 1.4.3.2 seperately.

wheat orchid
#

Is the game open?

#

No

#

Installing your first mod will install the ModdingApi which replaces a file in your game which can’t happen if it’s open. Also installing/enabling mods won’t put them in the game until you restart and uninstalling/disabling will also probably crash it

#

Best not to have the game open when using a mod installer

wheat orchid
lucid wadi

Get scarab, install HKMP, go into the game and mess with it

#

Either downpatch to 1.4.3.2 or use the 1.5 installer

#

I suggest just using the 1.5 installer

#

Don’t need to downpatch to use mods on 1.5 from that point

The menu isnt there? The skin names aren't there? Or it stays default when you select one?

the whole menu isn't there

What game version are you on?

Is the mod name showing up in the top left of the pause menu?

extract the file and open the extracted folder which is the open folder icon

i can use dd

and open the scarab app

#

and then go to the search and type in HKMP

I'm not asking you, just stating a general rhetorical question

when people have trouble with spells not working, it's always shade soul/vengeful spirit

#

oh

tacit oasis
#

ohh, i misunderstood

#

well, it hasnt happened before mods so maybe its because i downpatched hk for mods or something like that?

this also happens

Me and my friend are attempting to do hollow knight multiplayer mod for the second time
The first time it worked fine, used hamachi we both connected and both have same mods except i have client and sever and he only has client but now when we both connect with exact same stuff (ive checked 20 times) ingame he just isn't there

mossy smelt
#

any reason you're using multiplayer client/server instead of hkmp?

shadow fog
#

Didn't know it existed

mossy smelt
#

use hkmp instead, download 0.7.2 from the github page and install it manually

shadow fog
#

Ok, thanks :D

native ice
hushed remnant
#

i just hollow point and i dont think its working properly

#

can someone tell me how it is supposed to work?

native ice
#

read the readme

hushed remnant
#

where do i found the thing that i need to double click?

native ice
#

Uh, that's not what I told you to look at

#

That's for if you've uninstalled the mod, not for while you're using it

hushed remnant
#

oh ok

#

i see where i was supposed to look now

native ice
#

The readme, it covers how to use the mod

hushed remnant
#

where do i get modcommon?
it says its required, but i dont see it on scarab

native ice
#

Mod common doesn't exist in 1.5, it uses Vasi instead

hushed remnant
#

thanks, its working now

bold minnow

No I was useing the regular mod luancher on 1.4.3.2 but it kept crashing it would load but then just kick me out of the game.

native ice
frigid axle
#

Yes and when it finshes it crashes, but I moved to scarab for now.

real jacinth

that wont work

#

scarab is for 1.5

#

if you see the loading bar, and it crashes at the end, unplug your controller, launch the game, then plug it back in at title screen

frigid axle
#

No I mean I completly changed it for scarab.

When I siad "I moved" I kean I switvhed versions aswell.

if you use a pirated version, the file locations are going to be different and its impossible to mod it

i found the hollow knight data and stuff folder

i tried the modinstaller and it put a "mods" folder there

but when i launch the game, it gives me an error

it doesnt work, because the pirated version is just different in its codes

can i run scarab on 1.4?

if i add it manually

real jacinth

no

did you then run the bat file

did you get this message?

did your browser block it?

I just clicked it and it downloaded

so it does do something

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

did you try pressing fix skin in game?

real jacinth
#

then your file structure is wrong, or you're not turning the skin on in game.

last kettle

its in the custom knight mod settings

real jacinth
#

you haven't really said anything or shown anything about how your stuff is set up.

so all we can do is point you towards what the pin already says to do

ive been trying to load my mods for about 30 minutes, but hollow knight wont recognize the mods? like when i open the game it shows that i have no mods installed?

real jacinth
#

okay

rustic crown
#

does anyone know anything that'll help?

real jacinth
#

that is wrong

#
  1. Your skin folder is structured with extra folders (Structure should be: Managed/Mods/Customknight/Skins/[Skin folder name]/[Skin PNG files])
last kettle
#

they have to be in a folder

real jacinth
#

in your case, too little folders

#

you are missing [skin folder name]

real jacinth
#

so no clue yet

#

which installer did you use, what is your game patch, where'd you get the game from, what did you install

#

#specifics

#

screenshots also lead to fast results

rustic crown
#

first i tried using the 1.4.3.2 radiance mod installer. but it wouldn't load any of the mods i installed. i attempted to switch to the sacrab mod installer but that didnt recognize anything either? i think it has something to do with my unity player, because that won't install properly at all

real jacinth

wdym unity player

im using steam, if thats anyhelp

what patch is your game

rustic crown
#

it's the most recent right now, but i was originally using 1.4.3.2

real jacinth
#

did you install any mods with scarab

rustic crown
#

i tried

real jacinth
#

what did you try installing

rustic crown
#

benchwarp, QoL, serecore

real jacinth
#

did any of them install?

rustic crown
#

none of them

real jacinth
#

what did you click

rustic crown
#

install and enable

real jacinth
#

dont click enable

#

enable auto checks when they are done downloading

rustic crown
#

oh

real jacinth
#

so you probably disabled them all

rustic crown
#

it says its enabled now

#

let me try again

#

and it crashed :/

#

someone was talking about this earlier

real jacinth
#

and you've changed your beta branch in steam to "none?"

rustic crown
#

yes

real jacinth
#

when

#

actually nvm

#

what you did doesn't matter anymore.

#

do this

#

with everything closed

#

then open scarab and install a mod

#

any mod

rustic crown
#

this is whats happening

Screenshot_55.png
#

giving me hope bc this means that the mods are being recognized

real jacinth
#

it means you're using an installer that doesn't match the patch you're on

#

you sure you're using scarab and not installer 2?

rustic crown
#

i think its installer2?

real jacinth
#

installer 2 is not scarab

#

they are for different patches

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
rustic crown
#

ah. they had the same icon so i assumed? my bad

real jacinth
#

any

#

make a folder

#

name it what you want the skin to be named

#

play the game

#

assuming this folder is in the location I showed above

#

.

#

yes

brittle tendon
#

Hey, I downloaded scarab and made a new HK steam app for modding. I changed the path for scarab to this folder, but when I open the game no mods seem to run, I have no API in the corner etc. What am I doing wrong?

real jacinth
#

did you add the steam_appid file

brittle tendon
#

Yes with the numbers

rustic crown
#

i did it :] thank u so much for ur help

novel bronze
#

Congratulations @real jacinth you've done your job

real jacinth
#

did you install any mods with scarab after changing file location?

#

your appid file is misnamed

muted trellis
#

How do I uninstall the modinstaller2 when I try to run the game on steam it won't start

real jacinth
#

it is currently [steam_appid.txt].txt

real jacinth
brittle tendon
#

so i should just remove .txt

real jacinth
#

yes

brittle tendon
#

shit it worked thank u

#

but now the two applications seem to be synced, i thought what i did in the mod one should not affect the other one

real jacinth
#

you mean to your saves?

#

they pull from the same saves location

brittle tendon
mossy smelt
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

brittle tendon
#

just so i dont have to disable mods?

real jacinth
#

some people do it to have one vanilla for speedruns

#

and one modded for fun

mossy smelt
#

so you could easily launch modded and unmodded, or two different versions

real jacinth
#

the reason for why is up to you

mossy smelt
#

it's not a requirement

real jacinth
#

yeah, multiple patches too

#

easy to launch current patch, then 1114 if you want

#

with no downtime

brittle tendon
#

so what would happen if i play modded on a save file and then play the same file unmodded

real jacinth
#

depends on the mod

tardy heart
#

How do I uninstall the modinstaller completely?

real jacinth
#

click with LMB, press delete

if you're asking how to make your game vanilla, then: right click game -> properties -> local files -> verify file integrity

tacit cliff
#

hi im having some problems with the rando mod anybody help pls

real jacinth
#

elaborate

tacit cliff
#

everything goes normal

real jacinth
#

tacit cliff

novel bronze
#

5 seconds later

real jacinth
#

use this bat to clear your settings files

#

after you close your game

tacit cliff
#

and

real jacinth
#

then relaunch and screenshot your title screen

#

there should then be a list top left

tacit cliff
#

oh ye my scarab isnt on latest version

real jacinth
#

?

tacit cliff
#

when i started it it told me to update

#

i pressed continue anyway

#

is it important

real jacinth
#

i've told you what to do

tacit cliff
#

ok

#

well there isnt

unknown.png
real jacinth
#

did you run the bat file?

#

or did you just download it

tacit cliff
#

i ran it

#

twice

real jacinth
#

and it said it cleared the files?

tacit cliff
#

after i pressed a key it closed

real jacinth
#

do it manually. delete any file that says globalsettings

#

while game is closed of course

tacit cliff
#

there still isnt a list

unknown.png
real jacinth
#

screenshot your scarab

tacit cliff
real jacinth
#

k. well that's obviously an issue

#

click all the orange boxes

tacit cliff
#

let me update scarab

#

and i clicked 1 and scarab crashed

real jacinth
#

yeah. cuz your game is open

tacit cliff
#

done

#

uhh hello

real jacinth
#

hi

tacit cliff
#

well i did that

#

i clicked all the orange boxes

real jacinth
#

cool.

#

so is your stuff showing on title screen now

tacit cliff
#

1 sec

#

uhh no

#

real jacinth
#

screenshot your installed page of scarab

tacit cliff
real jacinth
#

uninstall all of them and see if title screen stuff shows up

#

if it does, then reinstall all of them

tacit cliff
#

ok

real jacinth
#

not disable, uninstall

tacit cliff
#

real jacinth

Ok, you recommend me using 1.5?
I'm not sure

If that version supports more mods then I will install that version

real jacinth

dense shuttleBOT
pliant lantern
#

Afaik it doesn't require anything extra

#

That being said, 1.5 is really ideal for mods

real jacinth
#

nice

pliant lantern
#

The only real reason to go to 1432 is for Rando stuff, but Rando4 should be on Scarab this weekend

real jacinth
#

packaged with a map mod too?

#

otherwise there's zero reason to be on 1432 anymore really

south coral
#

Hello How can i have infinite health with debug mod? Can i even have it?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

you click it in the cheats menu

pliant lantern
# real jacinth packaged with a map mod too?

The mods to go with Rando will all come out later.
I'm not sure if Phenomenol has started working on updating Map Mod S yet or not, but they made Vanilla Map Mod on 1.5, so I would think that it won't take them long.

#

The only other mod that I can think of that may be worth downpatching to play, would be Lightbringer. Even if it's a bit wonky, it's a fun experience. I hope that someone ports it eventually

real jacinth
#

yeah. it was alright

#

I think it's a bit past it's era now though since it hasn't been updated

#

and is a bit overshadowed with newer mods like hollow point

pliant lantern
#

Yeah. A lot of the stuff in it feels like it's examples of what kinds of things can be done, without a lot of design polish

real jacinth
#

it was really cool for its time

#

especially for how early in the mod dev cycle it was

pliant lantern
#

The core idea of it I think holds up though.
I think that if someone does choose to port it, that it would be a good time to "update" it overall.

real jacinth
#

for sure

which version is better for mods 1.4.3.2 or 1.5?

1.4.3.2 works

atomic dock
real jacinth
#

depends on what you want

#

and what you're looking for

#

the mods are not 100% compatible with both patches

#

so if you have a specific mod in mind, play on the patch it requires

#

otherwise, default to current patch

¯_(ツ)_/¯

How do I download mods for Nintendo switch

You can’t

Unless you want to jam a paper clip into a tini tiny hole of your switch that may or may not just turn it into a brick

So I would advise to not bother

pliant lantern
#

The Switch version of HK is completely different from the PC version

#

The method of modding on PC doesn't/wouldn't work for Consoles

#

If you look into Switch modding communities, you may be able to find the only thing that I'm aware of that you can do, which is replace the Knight's sprites with a CustomKnight skin, but even that requires a lot of technical stuff

how do i uninstall scarab or modinstaller? just delete the files?

the mods folder should be in hollow knight > hollow_knight_Data > managed > mods, right?

pliant lantern
# honest mantle how do i get the speedrunning mod?

Depends on what you mean by "the speedrunning mod".

If you mean "speedrun mod", then I don't know if there's an actual release build of it posted anywhere publicly, but it's mostly the same thing as QoL, which is on Scarab

honest mantle
#

does qol have baldur skip?

pliant lantern
fathom dew
#

ohhhh ok

real jacinth
#

you mean killing baldurs with 1 fireball? that's from downpatching to 1221 or similar

honest mantle
#

oh, thx

real jacinth
#

mods are not allowed in official runs

honest mantle
#

i just like experimenting with skips

real jacinth
#

then I don't know what your actual question is

#

QoL and debug would let you do most things

honest mantle
#

ok

real jacinth
#

but there will always be patch differences

honest mantle

thanks for letting me know

crystal zodiac

having some trouble with the hollow twitch mod, do i have to be live for the things to trigger because that is how i have been testing it

real jacinth
#

no

crystal zodiac
#

is this how it should look

unknown.png
#

obv that isnt my token but im not giving my twitch toekn away

#

token*

real jacinth
#

make sure the token syntax is right

#

also, your twitch username has the wrong capitalization

crystal zodiac
#

it wont let me change it

real jacinth
#

change your S to s

crystal zodiac
#

If i change it it recapitalizes it, I probably could change the caps in twitch instead

real jacinth
#

just make those two "suburbne"

nimble briar
#

you guys know the custom skin mod packs?

crystal zodiac
#

if i do when i reopen the .json it caps them automatically

real jacinth
#

it shouldn't be

#

which one are you changing

#

if you are changing the .bak, then it pulls info from the .json

crystal zodiac
#

it didnt this time finally

#

it was earlier i swear

#

all it took was me getting mad at it

real jacinth
#

txt files dont do that

#

but sure

crystal zodiac
#

emotion sensors in the txt files

#

100%

real jacinth
#

and don't include the oauth: part of the token when you input it

crystal zodiac
#

i know that part

#

made sure to cut that out

real jacinth
#

otherwise everything else looks fine

#

the capitalization is probably what's causing your issues

crystal zodiac
#

ok thank you

#

will test it now

#

Do I need to download satchel? Or does it just come with the mod installer

#

Because it says for custom skins I need satchel

both of what

tough falcon
#

satchel and custom knight

real jacinth
#

Satchel is showing top left

#

And custom knight probably needs it's settings cleared

#

Especially if you used it on other patches

tough falcon
#

ok

Or you could uninstall and reinstall it

Custom knight
