I pirated the game

#

And it isn’t fair

#

So don’t help me

#

Atleast can u do one thing?

#

Can u tell me any servers that CAN help me?

pulsar furnace
#

i have a problem every time i try to install a mod the modding program closes

pliant lantern
pliant lantern
#

Did you Extract the .zip that Scarab was in?

#

And move the folder out of your Downlaods folder?

native ice
#

Is your game closed while installing them?

pulsar furnace
#

where should i move it

pliant lantern
#

Most commonly it's reccomended to move to Desktop, but most places that aren't Downloads are good

#

And do you still have it in the folder with the other ~9 files? (because it needs to be with them)

pulsar furnace
#

with 3 other files

pliant lantern
pulsar furnace
#

not all of those

pliant lantern
#

Unless this changed in the recent release, it should look like that

#

Oh.. It may have changed

native ice
#

Yea, I think it's only about 3 files now

pliant lantern
#

I see this now lol

#

I had the last version of it wai

pulsar furnace
#

i moved it to desktop end it still doesnt work

pulsar furnace
#

ill try that

pliant lantern
#

Yeah, if your game is open, none of the mod installer stuff will work lol

pulsar furnace
#

it works

#

thanks

steep pewter
#

how can i change to the new patch?

native ice
steep pewter
#

i do but i reinstalled it a cuple of times

#

the game

native ice
#

Well it should still be updated unless you specifically downpatched, check the bottom left of your main menu to see your patch

rocky pulsar
#

if i have a penny for everytime someone complained that their pirated game doesnt support mods

#

oh boy

native ice
#

I mean it's not common that a pirate comes and complains, they often are just chill and leave

rocky pulsar
#

tbh its surprisingly common

delicate lance
#

Whenever I try to install a mod it produces an error and closes the installer. could anyone help me figure this out?
Windows 10, Scarab, HK latest version, steam

#

the error log says that a file is missing:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll'.

Where's an enemy rando I can get? (I use Scarab, but if I gotta use another modder for the enemy rando I will)

abstract badger
wild meteor
#

speaking of scarab, how would i go about using the "daughter of hallownest" 1.2 files in the Team White palace Google drive? (Specifically on 1.5 and with scarab)

#

from what it seems, its just a biiiiit more than a skin and HUD change

abstract badger
#

Move the folder into your skins folder in custom knight more details can be found in the pins

wild meteor
#

i know what to do with the skins aspect, but from the seems of it theres other files that change change how the game actually plays

#

such as custom HP bars and "sharedassets"

abstract badger
#

Yes the skin will change the hud charms and such is that what your asking?

wild meteor
#

nah im askin what the extra resources are

abstract badger
#

Could you send me a picture of what you mean

wild meteor
#

theres multiple sharedassets{number}.assets

#

you can see for yourself via the white palace skins drive

#

just look at the Daughter of hallownest file

#

its a first time seeing files like sharedassets.assests in a skin file

#

ofc i could just........take the parts for the skins and remove the rest

#

but was just wondering what they do

woeful vine
abstract badger
#

Shared assets shouldn’t really change anything the are just a part of a skin

abstract badger
woeful vine
#

The enemies just are the same

abstract badger
#

Did you hit load enemy rando on the title screen

woeful vine
#

...there's a load button?

abstract badger
#

Yeah very large in the top left

woeful vine
abstract badger
#

Reload you’re game

wild meteor
#

ahh yes, you are game, @woeful vine

woeful vine
#

OH now the load's there

#

thanks

abstract badger
#

Np btw don’t do anything while it loads just wait

woeful vine
#

yeah im just waitin

how do I play hk with them

sorry to bother but is there anyway to change the rules of the random teleport mod?

pliant lantern

do you know how i can play with joycons on hk?

I do not

radiant comet
#

not on scarab but should I switch over?

tender rivet
#

ok thanks anyway

pliant lantern
pliant lantern
# radiant comet not on scarab but should I switch over?

Depends on what mods you are using? Generally speaking, yes. Mods are being developed for current patch, so there's little reason to use the older one for normal modding.

Randomizer was the biggest thing holding people back, and it's "officially" coming to Scarab this weekend, so the other mods that go with it will probably start moving over soon too

tender rivet
#

different question

#

so

#

playing hk on keyboard

#

i can get onto a bench or check an item but it basically softlocks me since i can't get out

#

how do i exit a menu like that

#

because nothing's currently working

nocturne mantle
#

You should be able to benchwarp by pressing Esc

tender rivet
#

nope

#

no key inputs work

nocturne mantle
#

Weird

tender rivet
#

just it freezes

#

and idk what's happening

pliant lantern
tender rivet
#

it's not there

#

like rando works but nothing shows up in the top left

#

also my nail has infinite damage im pretty sure

#

and my geo is at like 560

#

despite just starting the rando

#

and geo rocks have no collision

#

so i have no idea what the heck is going on

#

will try uninstalling and reinstalling hk

pliant lantern
tender rivet
#

ah that part makes sense

#

i haven't randomized geo rocks

#

though

#

and the ones in king's pass have no collision

pliant lantern
tender rivet
#

i don't have debug installed

pliant lantern
#

I can't check it right now, but you could post your modlog, and maybe someone else can look at it

It's located with your save files

brittle tendon

I'm using the scarab launcher and it works fine, I just can't put it on my desktop since when I do it won't open and another file appears on the desktop named “ModInstaller_Error”. I can pin scarab to my taskbar but when I restart my PC it won't open there either stating that scarab.exe has been changed or moved and therefore I can't open this shortcut. Is there any way to fix either of these problems?

Did it worked @brittle tendon ?

novel yew
#

Yes scarab and hk all are up to date

Everyone should have HKMP version 1.0.2

everyone should also have all the skin files on their own local machines too, per the skin instructions for hkmp

emm little thing, i dont know how to download mods externally of scarab

you could also uninstall on scarab

that should grab the newest one

I can try that

Thanks for the help now I can see others but I was wondering how to delete skillupgrades, it isnt installed or enable on scarab but still appears there

Has controller support been added to Scarab?

novel yew
#

What do you mean exactly?

merry pier
#

Hasn’t it already been a thing ?

frigid sky
#

When I use scarab my controller doesn't work. Wasnt sure if it was just me

merry pier
#

I know there’s an issue, on certain install booting the game with a controller plug won’t work

novel yew
#

I use steam controller support, works okay with scarab

merry pier
#

You need to launch it with the controller unplug, then plug it after the game boot up

frigid sky
#

ahhh ok, i'll give that a shot

novel yew
#

Wait a minute

#

Relyea??

frigid sky
#

yeah 🙂

#

omg i didnt noticed 🙂

merry pier
#

Also if your controller is a DualShock 4, you shouldn’t have ds4 windows on, it just breaks everything

novel yew
#

that too

frigid sky
#

I remember it being an issue for me a while ago, the game wouldnt boot properly if the controller was plugged in

I have an xbox one controller

Why is that pfp so pixelated ?

what pfp?

novel yew

Super strange but glad it works!

Good! idk why I didn't thinked about that

I deleted all the mods before switching from mod installer 2 over to scarab but might have been a stray file or something.

peak bison
#

yeah I actually just did

#

just normal sisters

real jacinth
#

same for the mantis lords too?

peak bison

idk lemme check

yep normal lords

#

It might be my scarab being out of date

but worth updating anyways

onyx vector

Hey guys, randomly decided to try out a mod or two today, specifically the randomizer. But when I went to the mod summaries google doc, it says that randomizer needs Seanprcore. But I can't find Seanprcore anywhere, its not on scarab nor is it anywhere else on the same google doc, do I need a different mod, or is there some other way to get seanprcore?

real jacinth
#

you don't need it for scarab

onyx vector
#

ok cool

real jacinth
#

all mod installers auto install the mods needed for others to run

#

so just install what you want, and play

onyx vector
#

also does scarab just install the mod itself? or do I need to find it from one of the other google docs

real jacinth
#

it installs it

peak bison
#

alright im gonna check if it works now that i updated scarab

onyx vector
#

ok the question marks it has in "Enabled?" and "Installed?" threw me off a bit but that clears things up

peak bison
#

nope

onyx vector
#

oh I just realized scarab has its own descriptions for each mod, which might explain why the Mod Summaries doc might be somewhat outdated?

real jacinth
#

or limiting your mods count

sullen ore
#

Hello everyone, I am new to this whole modding thing, so I was wondering of the three options for the installer which would I need? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

real jacinth
#

one that matches your game patch

sullen ore
#

I assume that would be 1.5.78.11833?

novel yew
#

use scarab then

real jacinth
#

so scarab

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
sullen ore
#

ok

#

So without downpatching it, how do you get scarab? I downloaded the zipped windows file for github, but I'm not sure what else to do

real jacinth
#

unzip it

sullen ore
#

after you extract all where do you need to put it. Because it is downloaded just not installed from what I can tell.

real jacinth
#

nowhere

#

you run the program

#

it's just a program. run the exe

sullen ore
#

so after it's extracted I can just play it? Or am I missing something

real jacinth
#

it's not a game

#

it's a program

#

extract all files, double click the exe

sullen ore
#

Is it a bad thing if it's blocked? Just run it anyway?

mossy smelt
#

run it

sullen ore
#

So it then brings up a menu of multiple different mods. Do I need to install the specific ones I want to play then?

mossy smelt
#

yes

#

It can't read your mind, it can't determine what you want automatically

sullen ore
#

and I just turn them off to play vanilla right?

mossy smelt
#

Kinda, then you just don't have mods

#

if you want to get rid of the modding api, verify file integrity on steam

sullen ore
#

oh, ok. Thanks for your help everyone!!

spring furnace
#

ayo going from modded patch to current wont brick my game will it

novel yew
#

no

#

aite good

mossy smelt

How large are the files the modding api replaces? It might be feasible to add a "revert to vanilla/modded" button that swaps the two

real jacinth

that's what toggle api does

Hello, I came here since I was having trouble with CustomKnight Mod. I'm using the ModInstaller with the Zote Face on it.

I had some other reskins by other people in my folder, so I went to make my own, copy-pasting the "Default" Folder the mod gave me to edit the sprites, but when I click the name of the folder that has the sprites in it that appears in the pause menu, it doesn't show up in-game.

real jacinth
#

.

hardy linden
#

I do have HollowPoint installed, but disabled. Will it still conflict even if it's disabled?

mossy smelt
#

nope

hardy linden
#

Okay, cool. Thanks for the help!

clever mantle
#

so i wanted to try modding but i'm confused by the pinned message since i don't really get the difference between the installers

real jacinth
#

they are for different game patches

onyx vector
#

also for different platforms

real jacinth
#

if game is 1.5 or above, use scarab

clever mantle
#

i installed the windows.zip file but what do i do now ? do i just run the scarab file or unzip it first

real jacinth
#

unzip it first always

#

can't run something when it's still in its packaging

clever mantle
#

i wanted to try the randomizer which seems to already be there but what do i do if i want to add a mod ?

onyx vector
#

you click "installed?" in scarab

real jacinth
#

if it's not on scarab, you likely can't play it on 1.5

onyx vector
#

no its on scarab

clever mantle
#

so it's like terraria's modlauncher ?

real jacinth
#

if you have another mod in mind that's not there, it's probably 1432 compatible only

#

and on the older installer

clever mantle
#

i don't really know what mods to get actually, the only one i know of is the randomizer but i heard there are mods that are basically fangames

onyx vector
#

Yikes this channel gets a ton of use! Maybe I should look through older messages to see if my question got answered

#

@clever mantle In scarab, if you click the arrow next to each mod there will be a little desciption of what the mod does

clever mantle
#

thanks, that's good to know

fiery eagle
#

anyone elses mod installer just... not open?

onyx vector
#

did you open the exe file?

fiery eagle
#

yeah, i opened the ModInstaller-9-8-7-1-1616591438.exe file

#

something opens for a split second but then it goes away

real jacinth

toggle api button on scarab

#

or verify game file integrity with steam

torn wolf
#

uh

real jacinth
#

you have nothing enabled anyway

torn wolf
#

check "toggle api" button

#

in the picture

#

its

#

unaccesable

real jacinth
#

yes i see it, but you also have no mods even enabled right now

#

unless you're hiding them further down

torn wolf
#

these are all installed mods:

real jacinth
#

none of those are enabled though

#

you've turned them all off

#

all off

torn wolf
#

but the mod installer is still connected with the game

real jacinth
#

what

#

i don't know how to interpret your sentence.

#

the installer doesn't "connect" with the game

#

it just moves files around

torn wolf
#

i mean..

#

the installer

#

is

#

on

#

basically

#

i want turn it off

real jacinth
#

press the X in the top right

torn wolf
#

so i can play my godhome savefile without any problems?

#

right?

real jacinth
#

sure

fierce wasp
#

I kind of have a problem if someone wants to help me

merry pier
#

What is it ?

fierce wasp
#

Alr so you know how the mod installer adds into the files?

#

For some reason today when I first got on and checked my achievements

#

It has this placeholder

#

And for my save it has a 1 and I can’t access it

#

Ik how to fix it

#

But i still want to atleast use custom knight

real jacinth
#

can you screenshot what you're talking about

#

cuz I have no clue based on this

fierce wasp
#

Yeah give me a minute

#

I was wondering if this is common but I assume not from that reaction

real jacinth
#

dunno

#

maybe it is once I can see it

fierce wasp
#

Alr let me grab a ss

real jacinth
#

.

fierce wasp
#

ty

real jacinth
#

yes. the saves being gone is very common

fierce wasp
#

Idk if I should be relieved or something else lol

real jacinth
#

your saves are still there. just a mod settings file needs to be generated again

fierce wasp
#

Hm

#

Do you know what causes it in the first place?

real jacinth
#

yes. an improperly generated settings file

#

of various mods

#

which is why you delete them as part of the fix

fierce wasp
#

Ah ok

abstract badger
dense shuttleBOT
fierce wasp
#

Alr sorry about this but I’m not used to modding games on pc or even just hk so I don’t know which is the save because I’m on the correct screen but it doesn’t say and I don’t want to fuck something up

#

nvm lol i just scrolled down slightly and saw the conversation

are there any good cheats for hollow knight that will run on macos? I'm a really casual player, and a lot of the gameplay can be really hard for someone who isn't really good at these kinds of games. I just want to experience the game.

we don't know what mods youre using

I'm using scarab, and the mods installed are the HKMP mod

Did you just enter random numbers?

Downloading the same mods doesn't mean you'll magically connect. Follow one of the connection methods described in the hkmp instructions

sullen ore
#

I looked up modcommon in scarab and I couldn't find it.

#

It isn’t on scarab hkmp doesn’t need any dependencies on 1.5

Doesn't need dependencies on 1.4 either

Modinstaller 1 (patch 1.4.3.2, windows), debug mod, Patch 1.4.3.2, Bought off steam

I installed scarab and ran it but my game won't start with mods

odd urchin
abstract badger
odd urchin
#

Oh wait

#

Patch 1.4.3.2 and steam

novel bronze
#

use modinstaller for 1432

abstract badger
#

That is why scarab is for 1.5 not 1.4 so you will need to up patch for scarab

odd urchin
#

I was, and that's why I had it on 1432

#

Alright, thanks a ton. That didn't even cross my mind!

#

Nope, it still isn't working, even after I set the beta to "none"

real jacinth
#

did you install mods with it

odd urchin
#

yes

real jacinth

after you changed it to none

Did you reinstall the installer/change your path

No

#

i have likely to weirdest and most specific problem

abstract badger
#

What is the problem ?

weak ingot
#

earlier today my any radiance mod was working fine and my controller had no issues but after downpatching to 1221 through steam and updating back to 1432 any radiance's sword burst attack is now slow like absolute radiance's and there is a noticeable amount of input delay between my controller and input

#

im so lost

abstract badger
#

Hmmm

#

Did you redownload any rad

weak ingot
#

after downpatching to 1221 the input delay started and i tried turning on native controller beta thingy but that didnt help

#

no ill do right now

abstract badger
#

That should the any rad part of the issue but as far as the controller it could be an issue involving your WiFi/ping

weak ingot
#

hmm i will check that as well

#

i redownloaded and now am starting up the game

#

dude im even more lost now because any rads sword burst is still slow and ONLY that attack

abstract badger
#

Maybe get a new any rad file because there is a chance yours was corrupted

weak ingot
#

aight aight

#

hola perras

hearty harbor

You can change it on steam through right-click > properties > beta > 1.4.3.2

#

Looks like things have cooled off quite a bit... CP killed momentum to some degree? At least as far as rando goes

void hollow
#

aight, so download "scarab"

real jacinth
#

rando is on cp

#

and rando 4 being released this weekend

void hollow
#

am I right with that?

real jacinth
#

if you want to stay on current patch, yes

hearty harbor
#

woooah rando 4 neat

real jacinth
#

yeah. new features. new API. new options. etc

#

should be deserving of the 4.0 designation

#

complete rewrite for the new patch

void hollow
#

so when the folder is unzipped, are there any actions that need to be taken with the scarab program to allow it to function?

real jacinth
#

run the program

#

we wouldn't endorse it if it did

#

or write it

hearty harbor
#

depends on the difficulty of the mods you install, but i mean if you blow up your computer out of frustration that's on you

#

usually still a good idea to back up your save files in case you're worried about your main save having unintended side effects

how safe ZeroTier?

pliant lantern
#

I'm fairly certain that there are review sites dedicated to documenting common software

#

That being said, anything I look up on it appears to indicate that it's pretty trustable. The only "negative" thing I see is that it may not be as secure as other VPN methods.

That being said, if you're talking about it here, it's likely because you need it for VLAN, not VPN, and you're not trying to transfer private data over a tunnel. So it's pretty safe :P

Okay, thank you for your information. The reason I was asking is because I want to set up multiplayer for me and some of my friends and all the tutorial stuff I see brings up ZeroTier specifically.
