[unique dew]

No. And plenty of memory.

[frozen aspen]

i downloaded the mod

where do i move it

[rose elm]

When you Installed Scarab application, did it ask you for you Hollow knight files folder?

[frozen aspen]

no

[rose elm]

I think you just have to enable it and you'll be fine

Ok then

Did you download Hollow knight ftom Steam?

[frozen aspen]

yes

im gonna try enabling it

[rose elm]

If you did so, then you don't have to do anything else

The mod is already functional

[frozen aspen]

yup it work

now how do i actually use the debug

[rose elm]

Use F1

[covert valve]

Install it and press f1 ingame

[frozen aspen]

aight

[elfin needle]

Question, I got the installer on NexusMods and it says I need to update to the most recent stable patch, but when I go into HK it says it's 1.5 and there's no update button

[rose elm]

You can also set binds keys
So if you press a key in you keyboard or controller, you can trigger specific actions

[covert valve]

What installer

[frank trellis]

Whenever i try to set my resolution to 1080 it doesnt work

Keeps reverting back to 720

[rose elm]

Or you can just just add yourself geo from the top menu

[covert valve]

Specs?

[elfin needle]

The one by Gradow

I'll try Scarab

[frozen aspen]

lemme check if it works

thank you kind sirs

[rose elm]

Anyone knows why the CustomKnight mod doesn't show in my in-game mod menu anymore?

[covert valve]

You need to downpatch

[frank trellis]

Not a great laptop but here it is
8gb ram
Intel 620 HD
Intel 7200u

[rose elm]

Yesterday it was working

I'm using scarab and hollow knight 1.5 latest version

[covert valve]

Meant for he

[frank trellis]

Since 1.5 runs better i wanted to try 1080

[rose elm]

Oh

[frank trellis]

But it keeps locking me at 720p

[covert valve]

Maybe hk don't work as great with them

[rose elm]

1.5 did a great job optimizing the game
Now I can actually see the cutscenes

[frank trellis]

That shouldn't stop it from letting me use 1080 tho right?

It would just...run worse

[rose elm]

What do you mean?
What version do I need?

[covert valve]

Are the other settings on high?

[covert valve]

Was meant for the guy with the installer which needs a certain patch

[rose elm]

Oh, sorry I misunderstood

[covert valve]

Np

[rose elm]

Anyone suffered the same problem as me?

The CustomKnight mod not showing up

[high gyro]

teleport mod on scarab wont allow me to pause?

[rose elm]

I have like 12 skins
Maybe that's the problem

[rose elm]

The timer?

[high gyro]

no, the game

[rose elm]

Huh

[high gyro]

pause button on controller and kb wont do anything

[rose elm]

What version of HK 1.5 are you using

The very last version?

[covert valve]

Don't think so bc I have like 25 but I also have a strong pc

[rose elm]

Ok I'm gonna try reinstalling the mod

[unique dew]

Thoughts?

[elfin needle]

So naturally after getting it working I installed the gun mod, but for some reason it doesn't want to fire any bullets, anyone know what's going on?

Works now nvm

[high gyro]

scarab version

it doesnt show any mods in the corner of the screen, but api is installed

and teleport mod does work

[stuck chasm]

you need to be ingame i think

[high gyro]

that doesnt solve the "cant pause" issue

i cant see anything if i cant pause

[stuck chasm]

is your escape button brokeN?

[mossy smelt]

@high gyro
#archived-modding-help message

[high gyro]

thanks

[high gyro]

no

it doesnt work on controller either

yesterday when i played normal rando i had no issue

[stuck chasm]

hope itll work afterwards

[mossy smelt]

read the troubleshooting steps on the custom knight pin

[high gyro]

did this, still doesnt show up

[stuck chasm]

@rose elm here that worked for me

[mossy smelt]

hmm

if you go into options, is there a mod options tab?

[high gyro]

no

i changed file path and am starting again

[mossy smelt]

#archived-modding-help message

try this?

[high gyro]

trying it now

its still not showing up

[stuck chasm]

maybe try deinstall all mods and delete the modinstaller folders and try installing it again?

might help not sure

if its a problem from the mods

[abstract badger]

did you install any new mods

[high gyro]

yes

[abstract badger]

which ones?

[high gyro]

ok i got it fixed

had to change file path again

and manually delete all mods and uncheck them seperately in mod installer

[mossy smelt]

weird that it could install modding api but not mods

[abstract badger]

ah well thats weird some time it's the simplest fixes

[high gyro]

im gonna install the rest of my mods and hope for the best

[high gyro]

i had already tried doing it tho lol

[abstract badger]

even more weird🤔

[high gyro]

ik lol

[abstract badger]

how did installingh other mods go

[high gyro]

it went well

they all work now

[abstract badger]

👏 glhf

[high gyro]

except player data tracker but i can live without for now

[mossy smelt]

fyi player data tracker is made for obs

it doesn't actually show anything in game

[river chasm]

i just downpatched my game from 1.5 to 1.2.2.1

i want to download debug mod now

[dull jasper]

I switched my custom knight mod to only affect gameplay just to see what it would do but after I did that none of my mods started showing up on the mod list

[river chasm]

how do i download and install debug mod on 1.2.2.1 without damaging my current patch save files?

i made a backup folder

could someone help me?

@dull jasper could you help?

i'm really confused

[abstract badger]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J0dDvM3zSyQ
Have you taken a look at this?

[river chasm]

oh thanks

[abstract badger]

You can also back up saves with more saves

[river chasm]

@abstract badger

am i in the right place?

the file location is different in the guide

but i assume i still have to create a copy of hollow knight and put it in a folder called "Hollow Knight 1221"

[abstract badger]

Yes that seems good. Here is also a guide on multiple patch’s if you would like that https://youtu.be/hL9hp1Geeq4

[novel bronze]

what

none of these mods work btw))

[abstract badger]

Take a look at this #archived-modding-help message

[novel bronze]

despite uninstalling the game and reinstalling it then opening the mod manager

[abstract badger]

Can you describe your issue in more detail. Such as which installer and which patch I assume 1.4.3.2?

[novel bronze]

1.4.3.2 and the one with the zote icon (i dont know what its called apart from mod installer so i dont have a better way of saying it)

[abstract badger]

Ok can you give me more info on the issue your having?

[novel bronze]

no mods work at all

its basically vanilla but it says the mods are on

and now theres duplicates of the mods in the mod menu?

like whaaat

[abstract badger]

So you completely uninstalled the modinstaller as well as all mods and deleted the mod folder then reinstalled everything if not try this

[real jacinth]

Do they show up on title screen? Does the benchwarp overlay appear on the in game pause screen?

[ancient flame]

qol mod says i can lock cursor to game window

how do i enable that?

[novel bronze]

tutorial 12 appears on the corner when i turn that mod off and on

but it doesnt appear

[novel bronze]

i dont think entirely

[real jacinth]

Tutorial 12?

[novel bronze]

and i dont really know where the mod thing is stored at

[novel bronze]

woops i meant

Tutorial_01

[real jacinth]

You mean in game bottom left?

[novel bronze]

yep

[real jacinth]

So benchwarp is working then

[ancient flame]

how do i edit the settings of QOL

[real jacinth]

Open the settings file

[novel bronze]

nothing appears ingame inside of the pause menu tho

[real jacinth]

Where your saves are

Screenshot your title screen

[real jacinth]

You have no mods list here at all. Which should be top left

.

[novel bronze]

is that what i need to do?

[abstract badger]

Yes

[novel bronze]

ok ile try it ty

[dull jasper]

Thank you Hotspring

[novel bronze]

ty mickely and hot spring it worked

[brazen shore]

im having a problem where i have all my mods in the correct folder but it won't load.

[abstract badger]

elaborate more what won't load what mods what installer what patch etc.

[brazen shore]

when i load the game it is just the vanilla game and there is no "mods" option when i go to options
and i do have all the mods enabled.
Mod Installer: Scarab
Patch: 1.5.78

[pearl phoenix]

hello! How do I uninstall the mod installer? It don't let me open the game

[abstract badger]

Delete the .json files from your saves folder

[abstract badger]

To uninstall the install go to steam and verify game integrity. This issue was most likely caused by using a modinstaller for the wrong patch.

[abstract badger]

Is is saying out dated instead of installed if so check out dated

hey. is there an easy way to install an enemy randomizer? i've checked the scarab mod installer but there isn't one in there

[abstract badger]

Enemy rando isn’t on scarab and by extension isn’t on 1.5 you will have to downpatch to 1.4 for enemy rando a guide to which can be found in the pins

You don't have to use depot downloader for those methods btw, just use the steam/gog betas and then do the same steps

[novel yew]

[abstract badger]

[green wedge]

Is Enemy randomizer only for 1.4?

[novel bronze]

atm i believe so

[glossy leaf]

ok so like i downloaded the modinstaller exe for hollow knight
but it says i need the latest stable patch
is my game just not updated to the latest version or something?

[stuck chasm]

depends on what version of modinstaller you use i think

if you use one for the latest (1.5) or 1.4.3.2

[glossy leaf]

oh ok
that do make sense

are the randomizer mods (maps and items) updated for the latest hollow knight patch or nah

[stuck chasm]

if you have for 1.4.3.2 you can change the version in steam bei going to setting>betas>version i think

not sure i just got a modinstaller today i dont know what mods are available or not

[glossy leaf]

oh ok
the modloader just has mods built in

that's pretty convinient

[stuck chasm]

you have to close the game before clicking on installing

i think there is a bug in that

[mossy smelt]

yes

[simple burrow]

i have a weird problem that just happened out of nowhere. When I started the game fresh and took damage in kings pass (I still had 5 health) I instantly died. It happens to all enemies and i dunno what to do. Restarting the game couple of times didn't work for me too so yea. Mods that i currently have are: Modding API, CustomKnight, DebugMod, EnemyHPBar and ModCommon

[lunar shore]

Hey, can I have some help? I'm trying to mod my HK, and I have the mods set up, but I don't know where the files go. It is a cracked version of the game, btw.

[stuck chasm]

do you use modinstaller?

[lunar shore]

yes. I used mod installer 2

[stuck chasm]

if you linked it to your HK folder which is the same as when you go to steam and go to the installation folder of the game it should be set up already when you have them enabled

[lunar shore]

It's a cracked version of the game, which basically means I pirated it. does that change anything? also, I'm very new to PC so I'm a little clueless to what you are discribing

[stuck chasm]

you need to own the game on steam

[lunar shore]

ah, so the mods won't work if it is pirated?

[stuck chasm]

not sure but i dont think so

only got into modding today and it always was told that you have to own the game

[lunar shore]

aight

[viscid thicket]

The only modinstaller that works for pirated games is Scarab

[lunar shore]

oh, kk

[simple burrow]

i have a video:

[mossy smelt]

or gog

[lunar shore]

can you send me the link to download scarab?

[mossy smelt]

you might've fucked something up with debug, that's quite easy to do

[simple burrow]

damn

[stuck chasm]

well atleast owning it was what i thought was needed :>

[mossy smelt]

I don't think scarab works on pirated versions either

[simple burrow]

how can i fix it?

[mossy smelt]

delete debug's globalsettings files

[viscid thicket]

Im Having trouble when using modinstaller 2, basically whenever I click open mod path, it goes to my old 1.5 patch hollow knight, so I deleted the file as Mod installer 2 only works on update 1.4.3.2, so I did that and clicked open mod path and just it ended it's task. Then it makes a error text document.

[viscid thicket]

Check pinned messages, and it Scarab does work on pirated HK as I tested it before (Got It from Steamunlocked.)

[lunar shore]

nice ty

[mossy smelt]

delete the files in %APPDATA%/HKModInstaller

if that doesn't work, you can manually edit the json in there to point to the correct path

[viscid thicket]

Il try ty

[mossy smelt]

which might be required depending on which installation the auto-detection picks up

[stuck chasm]

@viscid thicket

[mossy smelt]

that's unrelated to their issue

[viscid thicket]

Yeah im talking about the mod path

[viscid thicket]

You sure I delete all the files?

[mossy smelt]

ye

worst case, it remakes the files wrong again

then you'd need to manually edit it

[viscid thicket]

Do I delete the folder or just the files inside the folder

"more info" or smth

[clear linden]

ah ty

[viscid thicket]

Okay it works now! Tysm!

What is the mod "Job Change."

[mossy smelt]

https://github.com/RechercheJewel/jobChange

[lunar shore]

so I got scarab, and I got my mods, extracted it, so now what folder does it go in?

[viscid thicket]

It should create a "Mod" folder in managed

[lunar shore]

okay, is there anything else I need to do after that?

[viscid thicket]

Nope, if all goes correctly go to "Options" in Hollow Knight and it should display an additional option saying "Mods."

[lunar shore]

so I have to manually activate the mods?

[simple burrow]

Okay deleted the debug's globalsettings AND IT WORKS Thank you so much for help!

[viscid thicket]

No it should be automatically activated

[lunar shore]

it didn't work lol

[viscid thicket]

What part of it isnt there?

[lunar shore]

uh. the parts saying Mods in options

[viscid thicket]

And also where did u pirate the game from?

[viscid thicket]

Restart the game again

[lunar shore]

aight

[viscid thicket]

not like the actual save game

but just click the red X.

[ancient flame]

i downloaded a skin for custom knight but its in the form of a dll, where do i put it to use it?

[clear linden]

okay... so where do i put skins?

for custom knight

[lunar shore]

I alt4-ed

[ancient flame]

i tried putting it in the same folder as the others by itself and in a folder but neither worked

[lunar shore]

and it didn't appear

[viscid thicket]

CHeck the mods folder, and click Custom knight

then insert a folder of whatever skin you want

[viscid thicket]

hmmm

[clear linden]

so in default or swapperdemo?

[lunar shore]

I could get in VC then screenshare. I'll probably be defeaned though, I don't have a mic

[mossy smelt]

?pins customknight

[viscid thicket]

just add it, default is your regular skin and swapper is just randomizer everytime you go on a bench

[clear linden]

ah tysm

[viscid thicket]

would the redwing mod override the lightbringer mod or vice versa

[mossy smelt]

wouldn't surprise me if they did

[lunar shore]

I just don't know what to do. I did what you said, but it's just not working

[mossy smelt]

go buy the game

[lunar shore]

I'm broke

[viscid thicket]

Get the game from steam unlocked

[mossy smelt]

no

[viscid thicket]

Does smolknight work with skins pls say yes.

[mossy smelt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

and you can stop replying to random messages to ping me

[viscid thicket]

aw fine

does it work tho

[mossy smelt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[viscid thicket]

No grub love to u then

[lunar shore]

okay, I got it from steam unlocked already. How does that make a difference

?

[mossy smelt]

go buy the game and you'll get support, this is a server affiliated with team cherry, we don't support piracy

[lunar shore]

Dude, I already bought the game on switch, I just don't have money to spend it on PC as well

[rustic vector]

regardless, dont pirated games also have different file paths?

[lunar shore]

true, so that's why I'm trying to get help to figure it out

[rustic vector]

then youll have to find someone who also has a pirated version, here is not the place for that though

theres literally nothing anyone here can do

to an extent

[rose elm]

What does the SkillUpgrades mod do?

[mossy smelt]

https://github.com/flibber-hk/HollowKnight.SkillUpgrades

[rose elm]

Thanks

Mixing this mod with a custom map will be fun, lol

[rustic vector]

there are custom maps?

ooo

[mossy smelt]

decoration master lets you add spikes and thorns and saws and shit like that

[rose elm]

You can create maps in birthplace

[mossy smelt]

don't think there are any whole new areas in mods

[rustic vector]

havent gotten all the way through the game yet, but im interested in seeing what there is

ive grabbed a few qol mods so far

thats about it

[native ice]

Well

[rose elm]

And you can download redobirthplace mod for doing it over and over again

[native ice]

There's ToT

And there's those upcoming ones

[rustic vector]

theres a mod in the scarab menu that just says "QoL", where can i find the info for it?

[native ice]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmYCR8diRropqFDm9-n1aR0_XuQSHRdfxgsY4WrVmSs/edit?usp=sharing

[rustic vector]

thanks

[rose elm]

Do you know any combination of mods that cause the game to crash?

[wild notch]

any mods that make getting through thorns easier?

[mossy smelt]

wdym "getting through thorns"?

[rustic vector]

you mean the red and white thorn covered rooms?

[quaint jackal]

I want to ask uh..

How does Hall of Gods Extras work?

Cause I installed it but nothing seemed to happen

[mossy smelt]

check pv's and absrad's statues

[quaint jackal]

I kinda did but nothing was there

do I need to unlock em first?

[mossy smelt]

maybe

[waxen saffron]

is there any way to get mods on switch?

or something like that

as i bought the game there a while back not knowing about mods

[abstract badger]

Nope you can only mod on pc

[waxen saffron]

ok

[bright bane]

Um I need help with modinstaller 2. Some mod am running is making me unable to heal in game.

[abstract badger]

Did you install hollow point?

[bright bane]

What's hollow point?

[abstract badger]

Gun mod

[bright bane]

@abstract badger oh, well no

[native ice]

Did you ever have it installed?

[bright bane]

@native ice no, I never had it installed

[native ice]

even if it's not right now

What mods do you have then

[bright bane]

Here's my list: curropted kin, crystal blobbls, custom knight, enemy hp bar, frog core, indie crossover, infinite grimm, mod common, mod console, modding api, sfcore, tribe of battle, ultimatum radiance, vasi, and weavercore.

[native ice]

Well for one, mod console doesn't do anything for you so you can remove that if you want. none of those should effect your healing tho, can you describe in what way it's not working?

[rustic vector]

when i try using the skin changer my game just freezes up

[native ice]

What game version and in what way does it freeze?

[bright bane]

@rustic vector well the circular health bar in the game never apears white when it is 1/3 full and only does when it is completely full. must be a glitch. then the heal button doesn't work

[rustic vector]

whatever the latest is, i think its 1.5

i exit the menu and the whole screen just stays dimmed

[bright bane]

@native ice my game doesn't freeze, the heal button just doens't work.

[native ice]

That wasn't for you

[rustic vector]

so either its frozen or its softlocked

[bright bane]

@rustic vector okay i'll just try 1.5 and not use custom knight

[rustic vector]

thats

[native ice]

Dude

[rustic vector]

im not talking to you

[native ice]

Those messages aren't for you

[bright bane]

wait what's wrong?

[rustic vector]

im not talking to you

my game freezes when using the skins

[bright bane]

@rustic vector oh sorry

[rustic vector]

all good

[native ice]

Cobalt, try this. It says hollow point but the same fix should work

[rustic vector]

this is basically all i get

[bright bane]

@native ice but am not using hollow point mod

[rustic vector]

cursor is available though, so im assuming its just softlocked in a nonexistent menu

[native ice]

one second

This'll fix the freeze, download it, and put it in a sub folder inside your Mods folder (Press "Open Mods" on scarab to reach your mods folder) then when your screen freezes press f3/fn + f3
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/899325564962344980/EscapeHatch.dll

for me, right?

[native ice]

Yes

[rustic vector]

ok thanks

ill test this

oh one more thing

for skins, theres the folder with the skin name and a folder with the skin stuff inside that folder

should i be pulling that folder into the skins folder?

[native ice]

That's one too many folders

[rustic vector]

got it

[proven girder]

For putting in a custom path for Scarab do I do the folder that contains hollow_knight_Data and hollow_knight.exe

[native ice]

It should just be \Skins\[Skin Folder]\[Skin PNGs]

[river chasm]

@native ice hey can you help me

[native ice]

Yes

[river chasm]

look in #speedrunning

[rustic vector]

got it, i got a bunch from a drive link from this server but its a mix of extra folders and the right amount of folders

[river chasm]

i need help

[native ice]

Yea that happens

[rustic vector]

everythings working now, thank you @native ice

[covert valve]

Then tell it

[lunar shore]

Guys, I wanted to apologize. Earlier I asked for help modding my game, but I didn't know how it was so looked down upon here for a game to be pirated. I already bought the game on switch, so I just wanted to have a new experience on PC with mods, but I didn't have any money to buy HK. I'm not trying to disrespect Team Cherry or anything. It's just the fact I'm 15 and too busy with school to get a job. So I'm sorry for trying to pirate the game, and you're right. It dishonors TC and the HK fandom to pirate the game. So I'm sorry.

[abstract badger]

It’s all good as long as your kind about it we won’t get too mad. As far as I can tell you are a nice person so thanks for the apology

[lunar shore]

Aight ty

Based on the file path it looks like you got the game from gamepass or something, which you can't mod unfortunately

[jolly pawn]

no i have it from steam

[coarse siren]

Just wonder if i can download the last update of mod installers

[native ice]

What?

[native ice]

[coarse siren]

Want mod my hollow knight

[native ice]

I don't know what you're talking about, just get Scarab from the link I just sent

[coarse siren]

Ok ty

[jolly pawn]

i downpatched as well

for the 1.4 installer but it didnt work either

i had the same issue with the 1.5installer

[native ice]

When is it giving you this error?

[jolly pawn]

anytime i try to install the mod itself

i could try uninstalling and reinstalling maybe?

[rose elm]

Whenever I hit an object in the decorationmaster mod it disappears

I guess that's supposed to happen with the editor mode enabled. But it is really annoying because I don't have the chance to try out my platforming

Anyone knows how to fix that

Because I don't want to change between editor mode over and over again

It takes too much time and I need to try out the platforming

[abstract badger]

That is normal that is the only way to delete objects unfortunately this mod isn’t very user friendly

[rose elm]

Ok thank you

One more thing

Thank you very very much 🥺🙏
Sorry for making to many questions

Thank you so much friend

For answering all and stuff

[abstract badger]

Hit them with your nail to delete them if you can’t find them you can go in the code and delete them you self which I can help with

[silver hornet]

How do you make the shop items not hidden in the randomizer mod?

[abstract badger]

Change it in the rando settings prior to starting the game

@rose elm btw you can’t delete lore tablets so be careful

[jolly pawn]

@native ice its working now idk why it didnt before but it is now.

[rose elm]

Oh ok

[zenith pine]

modding-help being active what anyways is there a quick way to switch between scarab active and vanilla without doing the whole verify integrity thing?

[native ice]

Have two game patches

[zenith pine]

wait you can do that?

[native ice]

Yea

I think it'll work if you have two of the same game versions

[abstract badger]

https://youtu.be/hL9hp1Geeq4

https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/jlten

[zenith pine]

I know how to downpatch, I just didn't know you could have multiple patches at the same time

[abstract badger]

It shows how to have multiple patch’s it is just named that

[zenith pine]

oh

whoa cool scarab does all the installing dependancy mods for me

[rose elm]

Sorry, very last question upsie

What's the name of the file for the different maps?
And, does one DecorationMaster map affect all my 4 savefiles?

[silver hornet]

what setting though I mean
I didn't see it

[abstract badger]

1.) can you explain what you mean by that
2.) yes

[native ice]

All the mod installers do

[abstract badger]

Go into more settings at the start and scroll to different sections

[rose elm]

What's the name of the DecorationMaster map file

Like, the one in wich I build my own map

[abstract badger]

Use debug to look at the room name on the left menu of debug also in your decor master data it will show you what you’ve edited

[rose elm]

Thanks

[abstract badger]

What patch did you use

[pulsar narwhal]

Hi! I'm looking for some help in getting mods working - All the info i could find online isn't very good, or is outdated - I just want one major thing really - A map mod. Either something to fully unlock the map from the get-go, or to make mapping work like in other metroidvanias.

So far all I've managed to do is boot an old version of mod installer that didn't work very well, and download the cloned github repository of the modding API which seems like a bit of a bastard to get working

so i'm hoping there's a pre-compiled version out there

[wheat orchid]

You don’t need to do all that

[pulsar narwhal]

Most of the information i could manage to find was out of date at best.

[wheat orchid]

Iirc there was a “traditional mapping” mod for ver 1.4.3.2 of the game on nexus (DO NOT GO THERE FOR ANYTHING ELSE)

Up to date installers

[pulsar narwhal]

I did get scarab up and running but it's a little arcane

[wheat orchid]

Wdym?

[pulsar narwhal]

I do actually have traditional mapping

it's the first thing i saw and was hoping it wasn't too outdated

[wheat orchid]

Doesn’t work with scarab or version 1.5 (scarab is for ver 1.5)

[pulsar narwhal]

I mean i opened scarab and it's wild

[wheat orchid]

It’s not really

Click installed? On a mod

That’s it

[pulsar narwhal]

why is there a question mark...

[wheat orchid]

It’s next to a check mark

Don’t ask me why 56 designed it that way

[pulsar narwhal]

i understand

so uh, does vanilla map mod do that full unlocking of maps that i'm looking for, or is that just not available rn?

[wheat orchid]

Anyways, if you want to get it working, downpatch to ver 1.4.3.2 (literally like no difference)

Vanilla map mod is something completely different

Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png

[wheat orchid]

After that, don’t use scarab unless you go back to ver 1.5

Instead use mod installer or mod installer 2

The next steps depend on which one you get

[frank trellis]

i was changing my skin while playing (customknight on scarab) and the game just froze LMAO

[pulsar narwhal]

yea thats modding alright

[wheat orchid]

If you get mod installer then the ModdingApi should be automatically installed, after that go to your hollow knight installation path, go to the hollow_knight_Data folder, then the managed folder, then the mods folder, then put the dll file for the traditional mapping mod there

[frank trellis]

i think the game had a heart attack lol

[wheat orchid]

Try switching in only small rooms, that can happen with large skins

Too much memory can be taken up

[frank trellis]

Ahhh ok

[pulsar narwhal]

I'm used to modding minecraft pre-forge i fully anticipated this to be harder

[frank trellis]

I was in a fairly large room tbf

[frank trellis]

Pre scarab was already easy but scarab has just streamlined everything even more

[wheat orchid]

Nope (manually installing mods like traditional mapping is harder tho)

[wheat orchid]

It really hasn’t

If anything it’s made helping users tougher

[frank trellis]

Really?

[wheat orchid]

Yeah

[frank trellis]

In what way

[wheat orchid]

“What’s scarab? I wanted a mod installer”
“I downloaded the source code download”
“I used a 1.4.3.2 installer since scarab doesn’t work”
“I used scarab on ver 1.4.3.2”

[frank trellis]

Is there any reason old installer couldnt have just been updated to work with 1.5

[pulsar narwhal]

The issue is less with scarab coming out and more with the dangers of a slow rollout of modding

same issues happened with skyrim back when SE rolled out

[wheat orchid]

Scarab is a updated ver of mod installer 2

[pulsar narwhal]

It just got re-branded.

[frank trellis]

Ohhhhh

[wheat orchid]

Well I guess my real issue with it is no one decided to support multiple patches even though I made multiple mod installers that support it and no one cared

Why do we need separate mod installers?

Why be lazy now and put it on a bunch of users?

[pulsar narwhal]

Well uh, on a side note, any ideas of mods i should pick up while i have mod installer 2 up?

[rustic vector]

i mean, i just got the game and just installed scarab and dont see much of an issue

are there mods that only work for 1.4?

and if so, whats preventing them from being updated to 1.5?

[pulsar narwhal]

I know of at least one in Traditional Mapping

[wheat orchid]

Qol - a bunch of quality of life changes
Additional maps - adds godhome and white palace maps

[frank trellis]

Randomizer

[wheat orchid]

Yes, the prevention is usually the author can’t be contacted for permission to update it, it’s been forgotten, or the author such as me hasn’t gotten to it because of all the mods in development

[pulsar narwhal]

excuse me i haven't beaten the game yet i just hate its map system

[wheat orchid]

Oh sorry

[frank trellis]

Ohh whoops

[rustic vector]

happened to me, someone gave me a dll to get out of the menus safely

though it just happens if you dont go down and click "back" from the options menu

[wheat orchid]

Ah, did the game freeze or did the menu?

[rustic vector]

the menu

[frank trellis]

I pressed b with a controller is that the issue

[rustic vector]

yes

go manually click "back"

[frank trellis]

Ohh i see

Ok

Ty

[rustic vector]

otherwise, i can grab the dll from the other guy

just gotta drop it in your mods folder i think

[frank trellis]

No thats okay, thx tho!

[rustic vector]

all good, it just helps and gives you a hotkey to click whenever it happens

[pulsar narwhal]

little suprised hollow knight got away with so few/no lewd mods

[rustic vector]

so far

[frank trellis]

Dont give them any ideas

[pulsar narwhal]

give it another few years and maybe some degenercy will seep in

[rustic vector]

looking at the risk of rain modding community, it just takes time

:)

[willow snow]

are there any

Recommend mods?

[rustic vector]

i was gonna say

[pulsar narwhal]

uh i hear qol was reccomended

[rustic vector]

also the custom skins

kinda fun to mess with

[willow snow]

let me YouTube those

Are there mod installer for patch 1.7?

[wheat orchid]

For a first playthrough:
Not sure tbh

For another playthrough or replaying something:
Additional Maps
Boss mods
Randomizer
(Only one of the following!)
Lightbringer
Blackmoth + Redwing
Hollow point

Quality of life or Speedrunning
Qol

I’ll finish this later

[frank trellis]

1.7?

[wheat orchid]

????

1.7???

[willow snow]

Wait let me check

[daring urchin]

Me and my friend are playing multiplayer and we have custom knight on but we cant see each others skin

[pulsar narwhal]

that seems normal to me

skins are probably soley client side

[wheat orchid]

Are y’all playing multiplayer server/client or hkmp?

[pulsar narwhal]

dont see how thats possible

[daring urchin]

hkmp

[wheat orchid]

Using CustomKnight yes, there was an implementation of it in hkmp though

I’ll give you a link to the hkmp discord server where you can ask about how to use serverknights

[daring urchin]

Ok thanks

[rose elm]

Is the default auto save for DecorationMaster every 360 seconds?

[willow snow]

Nvm it’s 1.5.68.11808 don’t know how I got 1.7

[pulsar narwhal]

i think you rounded up lmao

[native ice]

Purchase the game

[wheat orchid]

Where did you purchase the game?

[willow snow]

I don’t.

[wheat orchid]

We don’t support pirating

Please purchase the game

[willow snow]

Alright

guess all progress is lost

[frank trellis]

how do people tell immeaditelly if it was pirated lol

[wheat orchid]

Version number

Outdated

[frank trellis]

ohhh

[wheat orchid]

Not possible to get anymore unless you intentionally got it with depot downloader (no point in doing that with this ver)

[daring urchin]

Actaully it wonmt be lost. My friend pirated it then bought the game after seeing it was a good game, and he had his progress

so it is better to purcahse

[willow snow]

could have bought it during the discount damn

[native ice]

It goes on discount very often

[pulsar narwhal]

this is why you purchase games

[wheat orchid]

If you mean save files, all hollow knight versions share the same save file location, so any time you run it it has the same saves as any other installation ran

[frank trellis]

"My friend"

[native ice]

Almost always half off

[frank trellis]

Literally its been on sale on pc for like the last 3 months

[pulsar narwhal]

especially games with skill/good design/a real community behind them

[frank trellis]

Uhh

Why is hk not recognizing my triggers

[wheat orchid]

Let’s stop digging into this person, I’m sure they feel bad now, and next time there’s a sale they’ll get it

[wheat orchid]

Just triggers or all controls?

[frank trellis]

Just zl and zr

[wheat orchid]

Huh, idk

[willow snow]

It’s 15$ it hurts me

[wheat orchid]

Have you checked the controls menu?

[frank trellis]

Yeah

I was remapping them

Cuz they werent working snd i thought thats why

But it doesnt even recognize them there

[wheat orchid]

That’s strange

Do other games work?

[frank trellis]

Let me check

[wheat orchid]

Sometimes the ModdingApi for hollow knight stops the game from working with some controllers, haven’t heard of just triggers though

[willow snow]

What’s the patch for the current game

[frank trellis]

Its a switch pro controller

[wheat orchid]

Are you trying to pirate it >:(

[pulsar narwhal]

we will not be informing you of this fact

[frank trellis]

Triggers work when i use jt on my switch

This is very weird

[pulsar narwhal]

you will be purchasing it off of steam

[wheat orchid]

Or gog

[pulsar narwhal]

for the paltry sum it costs

[wheat orchid]

Or from a humble bundle I guess

[pulsar narwhal]

oh nooo 15 dollars,,,, the price of 2 sandwiches!!!!

[frank trellis]

It was on sale like a week ago

Im sure itll go on sale again

[willow snow]

No?

[wheat orchid]

Then why do you need the version number?

[frank trellis]

Bros gonna refund it immediately LMAO

[willow snow]

maybe

[pulsar narwhal]

i cannot imagine being this cheap

like, it's 15 dollars

[frank trellis]

Who pirates indie games man

[pulsar narwhal]

and that's full price

[frank trellis]

Or just wait till it goes on sale for $5

[willow snow]

When?

[pulsar narwhal]

that's less then a fucking burger

[frank trellis]

It goes on sale super frequently

Literally has been on sale consistently for the last 6 months

[willow snow]

guess I’ll wait for that

[frank trellis]

Its working in terraria

This is so weird

[pulsar narwhal]

uh do you have anything for those buttons to trigger

[frank trellis]

I dont but im trying to set them as something in the controls menu

Also i did have them as something before they stopped working

[wheat orchid]

What operating system are you on?

[frank trellis]

Windows 10

Using steam

[wheat orchid]

That’s really strange

I’ll give you a link to the hollow knight modding server where you can ask in the support channel where (hopefully) somebody more experienced with the controller bugs can help you

If anyone else wants a link dm me

[frank trellis]

Thanks

[candid sky]

is there a way to revert mods back a verison bc I want to use hollow point v1

[frank trellis]

If u can find the old dlls i think so

[candid sky]

where would one find them

[frank trellis]

No idea

[wheat orchid]

Might need to build it from the source code

I’d guide you through it but that’s a headache, I’d do it for you but I’m too tired to use my computer

[frank trellis]

Trying a good old fashioned computer restart to fix the problem

[candid sky]

I just wanna get rid of the nerfs they put on the charms

[daring urchin]

[wheat orchid]

If you can find somebody to build it, here’s a link to the repository with the source code. It will also be for ver 1.4.3.2 unless you can convince them to update it (will take a while, updated the most recent ver myself)

Imma sleep now before I mess up my sleep schedule more

[candid sky]

ight xD

[frank trellis]

Why does having debug menu open and moving kick u to main menu

[native ice]

It shouldn't, but you might have bound something you shouldn't have to one of your movement keys

[median temple]

debug mod's menu isnt working

i click on noclip and nothing happens

nothing happens for any of the options

[pliant lantern]

what patch are you on?
||If you have MoreSaves and are on 1432, then you need to use the Binds. The buttons dont work, but the keybinds and bind panel do||

[median temple]

oh ok

ty

ill unistall more save

i mean disable

[pliant lantern]

I mean, you can just bind buttons for what you need

but you do whatever you want to do lol

[late bronze]

heyo
So I found the way to edit the hall of gods to give everything radient (trying to recreate my Switch save's godhome)
now I just need to find a way to edit the pantheon's bindings
I have all bindings on the first 4 pantheons and the nail binding on p5 and im not sure where to find that
Im using https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/ this btw

[native ice]

Just ctrl + F to look for binding

[late bronze]

oh im dumy

thx tho!

[true widget]

So I did a randomizer run in under 5 hours, but it didn't record it as speedrun 2 on achievements (which I'm glad because I wanted to do it legit), does this mean my game is somehow messed up or does randomizer make it so you can't get speedrun achievements? I want to make sure this is normal for a rando

It's on a second install if that helps

[pliant lantern]

I got at least one of the speedrun achievements from Rando, so it doesn't block them. No idea why you didn't though

[true widget]

Hm. I don’t want to have my speedrun achievement blocked when I do it for real

[peak ledge]

guys i wanna mod hollow knight

thank you sooooo much

[umbral shell]

hello-I'm doing my first item rando, just downloaded HK on my computer this afternoon and the scarab modder. I'm having problems with rando map mod-I was under the impression that it'd show me the whole map? when I run it it only shows the dirtmouth map and the maps I've picked up
is it not supposed to do this? or am I just dumb

[native ice]

Press Ctrl + R or talk to elder bug

[umbral shell]

I did that-the items pop up on my screen on the maps I have

[native ice]

Hm maybe it was changed, is this rando map mod s?

[umbral shell]

let me check

[peak ledge]

guys what is this error my game is updated

[native ice]

You didn't look at what you downloaded

You want scarab

[umbral shell]

yes, it's rando map mod s

[peak ledge]

ow ok

sorry

[native ice]

Oh wait, maybe it's ctrl + M?

[umbral shell]

ctrl+M doesn't do anything

[native ice]

Ah my bad, that was the old map mod. Haven't really used em, here's the readme for S https://github.com/dpinela/HollowKnight.RandoMapMod

Apparently it has stuff in the pause menu

[sterile igloo]

Can someone help me? I'm testing some mods (In both 1.4 and 1.5) and Custom Knight is the only one that keeps not working. On 1.4 it shows up but it doesnt work; in 1.5 it doesnt even appears (The pic is from 1.5)

[umbral shell]

yes! that fixed it, thank you so much :D

[cosmic wigeon]

which enemy randomizer works???

[peak ledge]

i cannot download anything from scarab i think i have to use vpn

[native ice]

There's only one enemy randomizer, and it's 1.4.3.2 exclusive

[peak ledge]

oh it works thanks

oh when im trying to download custom knight

when downloading it crashes

what should i do

[native ice]

just custom knight?

[peak ledge]

yeah

[native ice]

Did you unzip the folder it came in? Is your game closed while trying to install mods? Did you move it to your desktop?

[peak ledge]

yes it is in desktop and my game is closed when downloading

[native ice]

Is it still in a zipped file?

[peak ledge]

witch file

scarab ?

[native ice]

Yes

[peak ledge]

yes

enemyhealth bar is working pretty good

but i dont know why custom knight is not working

[native ice]

https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/releases/tag/v1.6.0

[peak ledge]

ow

[native ice]

Here's the github for custom knight, you can download it and place it in your mods folder (Press open mods in scarab to get there)

[peak ledge]

thanks so much

i will try and i give the result

ow

i downloaded custom knight and 1 skin

but there no option to apply the skin

do you know what should i have to do

[native ice]

Screenshot where you put the mod

[peak ledge]

here

and this is my skins

but here there is no custom skin

[native ice]

The custom knight dll and skins folder need to be inside a folder, like the other mods

And you can download skins from two google drives linked in the pinned messages

?pins

[peak ledge]

witch folder

in the skins ?

[peak ledge]

thanks

[native ice]

Managed\Mods\Custom Knight\ and inside Custom Knight place the Custom Knight.dll and Skins folder

[peak ledge]

i put the skins in the folder

but theres nothing

[peak ledge]

nothings happening

when im presing

[native ice]

hm

[native ice]

Can you show me the rest of the file path in that folder?

[native ice]

And inside Mods\Skin\ is the custom knight dll right?

[peak ledge]

here

[native ice]

Uh, I'm not sure, that should be working

[peak ledge]

so what should i do

[native ice]

Press "Open Skins" does that open the same folder?

[peak ledge]

yes

it same

are you bot im asking because maybe we can join voice channel and i stream for you ?

[native ice]

I'm not a bot, I'd rather not VC

[peak ledge]

ok im just asking nvm

so what should i do

[native ice]

I'm sorry I'm really not sure, maybe give the game a restart? Maybe try renaming \Mods\Skins\ to \Mods\Custom Knight\, although that shouldn't really matter.

[peak ledge]

ok

i changed the name and it worked Thanks

[native ice]

Oh...

Didn't think that'd be it, well nice

[raven knot]

guys i cant make the itemsync mod work with my friend any help ?
