Run the game once and go to the place you want the custom audio in. This generates a folder.

west bane
#

make directory generates a directory

mossy smelt
#

Running the game with the mod installed will create a folder

#

Going to the place you want to customize the audio will log the track names in modlog.txt

#

I think either, one of my mods in conflicting the other, or weaver core just doesn't like me

abstract badger
#

Yes

mossy smelt
#

No, team cherry wants you to install viruses on your pc

no we put a virus in a partnered discord

Elaborate

mossy smelt
#

have you followed the pin?

safe pond
#

What should I do if I want to go back to playing normal? I dont want to delete the mods cause I want to play them again I just dont want to go through all the trouble with downloading and moving stuff again

novel bronze
#

Verify file integrity

abstract badger
#

Verify game integrity or delete the mods folder along with you installer

safe pond
#

how do I verify file integrity

abstract badger
#

Steam—right click hk—properties—local files

safe pond
abstract badger
#

Click verify game integrity

safe pond
#

oh just hit the button

#

hey, if you get mods installed, you can get achievements anyways, don't you?

novel bronze
#

I think so

abstract badger
#

Yes you do

native ice
#

You do for steam, however I believe on GoG you don't, this might be outdated since I think that was based on going to an earlier patch which disabled achievements, though it might be based on mods, not really certain

#

And you can still of course get in-game achievements

how to install scarab

abstract badger
#

?I get scarab get the zip that corresponds to your Os extract open scarab for Mac you may have to do this (right click "explore package contents" then open scarab) then install a mod

dense shuttleBOT
raw schooner
#

thanks very much

#

i have the zip, i am on windows how do i open it

static swan
#

Can someone help me download Scarab?

#

I’m very new to this modding thing

static swan
#

Okay thanks

#

Lol didn’t see that before

#

I’m guessing you extract it to the folder hollow knight is in?

junior herald
#

I'm trying to use DRPC for hollow knight but it doesn't seem to be working what should I do?

raw schooner
abstract badger
#

Open scarab by opening the file named scarb

raw schooner
#

there are five of those

#

xD

abstract badger
#

? There is one file named scarab in the folder

frank trellis
#

scarab.exe

static swan
#

I tried extracting it to the folder but it said that the destination folder path is invalid

#

I extracted it to D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight

dusty wave
#

Are hk save files encoded in base64?

frank trellis
#

arent you supposed to extract scarab to desktop? or was that only for installer 1

static swan
#

I’ll try to extract it to desktop

abstract badger
raw schooner
#

scarab.sln?

real jacinth
#

no

static swan
#

Oh wait it’s working

#

Maybe idk

#

Oh wait is working

#

Nice

#

Thanks guys

real jacinth
#

if you have scarab.sln, you downloaded the wrong thing

raw schooner
#

this is a shame

real jacinth
#

you downloaded the source code

#

instead of downloading from the page you were directly linked to

raw schooner
#

ok thanks

dusty wave
real jacinth
#

what are you trying to do

dusty wave
#

I'm trying to replicate bloodorca's save file tool as a side project, while learning a bit about encryption. I just want a head start on what to look for

pure crypt
#

so i selected the wrong files for hollow knight when i originally downloaded monomod, now it crashes every time I try to open it, is there any way to fix this

real jacinth
#

then check out how QoL mod works

#

b/c that decrypts saves

dusty wave
#

Will do tnx

pure crypt
#

when i originally installed it it asked where my hollow knight files were

#

and i accidentally put the wrong ones

real jacinth
#

"it" being what.

#

use descriptive words

pure crypt
#

the modding api

real jacinth
#

?

#

the api doesn't ask that

#

what are you doing

#

what installer are you trying to use. what OS are you on. and where'd you buy the game from

pure crypt
#

i'm using monomod, windows 11, steam

real jacinth
#

and why are you downloading monomod

pure crypt
#

i want to use mods and that's what my understanding is to get them

abstract badger
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
real jacinth
#

download scarab

#

extract windows.zip to desktop

abstract badger
#

And if anyone asked here is this

real jacinth
#

and run the scarab exe

abstract badger
#

?I
To install Scarab:
get scarab from the GitHub page—get the zip file that corresponds to your Os (no others and don’t get the source code)—extract the folder you just downloaded to unzip it—open the scarab file (scarab.exe) (to open scarab on MacOS you may have to right click scarab—explore package contents—then open scarab.exe do this after unzipping the folder) —then install a mod—open the game.

dense shuttleBOT
pure crypt
#

alright i'll give it a go

#

this means it worked?

real jacinth
#

yes

abstract badger
pure crypt
#

awesome, thanks so much

polar canopy
#

if i checkmark the ''installed?'' thing on scarab it will install the mod, correct?

real jacinth
#

yes

polar canopy
#

And after it installs, do i checkmark enabled?

real jacinth
#

no

polar canopy
#

Do i just go ingame?

real jacinth
#

that will automatically happen

#

when it's done

polar canopy
#

Alright bro thanks

real jacinth

so yes

#

just play

silent hound

Game crashes when I launch with Scarab loader. It work with ModInstaller, but I did have this problem with it initially. I've tried: rebooting Steam, rebooting computer, checking message history, checking pins. Anyone know what's up?

silent hound
frank trellis
#

what version are you?

#

1.4.3.2 or 1.5.xx

silent hound
#

I've selected "none" for beta

frank trellis
#

ok so ur the right version..hmm

wheat orchid
#

Is a controller connected?

silent hound
#

No

wheat orchid
#

Hmm

#

I gtg, try right clicking hk on steam, click properties, click local files, click verify integrity

abstract badger
#

You got the right zip of scarab right?

silent hound
#

yes

silent hound
#

Forgot the one step I did to fix it with old modloader

versed sinew
#

hey, I'm on manjaro and scrab doesn't close

#

even if I use ksys gusrd

silent hound
mossy smelt
#

yes, since you removed the modded files

#

relaunch scarab

silent hound
native ice
#

don't just relaunch

#

install a mod with it

versed sinew
#

update, I deleted scarab and it still won't close

native ice
#

or uninstall and reinstall one

mossy smelt
versed sinew
#

I was also having issues with the game closing after a black window, but I'll get to that soon

#

ok yeah restarting helped to close scarab, no clue why it struggled so much

polar canopy
#

i enabled dump textures and when i press A to use a soul move my game crashes

#

how do i fix

mossy smelt
#

why would you want to dump spell textures, can't you just use customknight?

polar canopy
#

dw i did a dumb move i fixed it

versed sinew
#

any clue what this is?

real jacinth
#

means you're using an installer that's not compatible with your patch

versed sinew
#

oh?

#

but steam is the launcher

real jacinth
#

so

versed sinew
#

so is steam not compatible with the latest version of hk?

real jacinth
#

what does that have to do with anything

versed sinew
#

I'm confused

real jacinth
#

your game is 1.5

versed sinew
#

yes

real jacinth
#

so use scarab

#

or downpatch your game

#

and then use an installer for 1432

versed sinew
#

I Uninstalled scarab because it wouldn't close before

#

the game won't launch on its own now

karmic grotto
#

I have a question

versed sinew
#

yeah?

karmic grotto
#

How do i manualy install mods on mod installer 2?

novel bronze
#

You click install

#

On the installer

karmic grotto
#

Is hollow point mod on mod installer 2?

#

I cant check it right now

real jacinth
#

yes

karmic grotto
#

Okay, sorry for being stupid

#

Thanks

polar canopy
#

i'm using the grimmknight skin but the spells don't have the cool skinned effects on them, does anyone know why

frank trellis
#

does the folder where grimmknight skin is located have the spell.png sheet

#

i dont think its called spell.png but its something like that

sweet sierra
#

Can you download custom mods on scarab?

novel bronze
#

Wdym custom mods

real jacinth
#

only if they've been ported to 1.5

#

and putting them directly in the mods folder won't work

frank trellis
#

it doesnt? ignore me then whoops

real jacinth
#

so.........basically all of what you've said is wrong

covert vale
#

hey

#

i got a problem here

native ice
#

on 1.5 they have to be in a folder in the mods folder

covert vale
#

im gonna send a sc

#

why is that happening?

real jacinth
#

dunno

native ice
#

Drag the errorlog over discord and send it here

polar canopy
covert vale
#

lol

real jacinth
#

this screenshot means nothing

tawny rover
#

extrace?? i think

polar canopy
#

i just deleted the one that made em white but diff looking

#

now theres only the red one

#

gonna check it asap

covert vale
#

the modinstaller_error

#

i mean

real jacinth
#

we can't read what's in it

covert vale
#

i cant use the mod

tawny rover
#

ok

real jacinth
#

upload the error log here

#

so we can read it

native ice
real jacinth
#

it's generating an error b/c there's an error

#

we can't read inside a file just magically

covert vale
real jacinth
#

upload the file

#

the actual file

covert vale
#

ok

#

hold up

#

this?

native ice
#

Yea

real jacinth
#

close your game

covert vale
#

ok

#

now i try again?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

you can't change a tire on a moving car

#

you can't mod a game when it's running

#

same concept

covert vale
#

oh

#

makes sense

#

thanks

#

its working now

#

;)

polar canopy
#

skin broke

real jacinth
#

unfortunate

polar canopy
#

Its fine i fixed it myself

#

i have another question tho

#

Theres two folders for spells on the skin

#

and it doesn't use the red ones on the left

#

only the black and white ones on the right

#

do you know why

native ice
#

One of those is void spells and one of those is vengeful spirit?

polar canopy
#

oh

#

Oh oh,

#

Oh oh.

#

Thanks.

#

I'm dumb

simple tusk
#

oh no its not letting me press escape

#

alt f4 time

native ice
#

Do you have satchel?

simple tusk
#

what is that

native ice
#

A mod

simple tusk
#

no

native ice
#

It's required for some other mods, and I think it might cause that sometimes if you don't have it

simple tusk
#

i only had qol, benchwarp, and debug mod enabled

#

which i have run before no issue

native ice
#

Ah

#

hmmm

simple tusk
#

it also said qol failed to load

#

so thats probably it

#

im just gonna enable every library

native ice
#

Oh

#

Vasi

simple tusk
#

yeah that wasnt enabled

#

thats probably it

#

ok it works now

🔸Set-up & Installation of Scarab:maggotprime

🔺If you are are on patch different from 1.5.78.11833!
Scarab is built for the current most recent patch (1.5.78.11833 colloquially known as 1.5) If you want to use scarab up-patch your game a guide for which can be found in the pins📌 . If you would prefer to stay on 1.4.3.2 Install modinstaller 1/2.

🔹 Download scarab from the GitHub page linked below.
-If you are on Windows download only Windows.zip
-If you are on Linux download only Linux.zip
-If you are on MacOS download only MacOS.zip

•Scarab will work with only the three OSs listed above, Additionally note there is no need to download any other file then the OS specific one 🗒️

🔹After Downloading the .zip file extract/unzip it & move the extracted folder to your desktop folder.
•Make sure you keep all the files that originally came in the zipped folder together while moving the extracted folder to desktop

🔹Once extracted to desktop run Scarab(.exe) found in the extracted folder.

🔹if scarab is asking you to select a path your path will end in selecting the hollow knight folder see below what the path will look like;

Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\

MacOS

~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/

Linux

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/

🔹 To install a mod with scarab click the box next to Installed? If you want to uninstall the mod click the same box again. If a mod shows outdated click the orange box to update it.

🔹once this is done all you have to do is load the game and mods will now appear.

link to scarab’s GitHub page: https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/latest
For further and up to date info check the pins or ask any questions you have here

native ice
#

A couple typos in that

#

should be up-patch

#

Should be further

abstract badger
#

lol i tried my best

vestal ginkgo
#

Im pretty sure this is where i'm supposed to ask this, I need help w/ custom knight, it wont change my skin and I don't see anything in the menu in game

native ice
#

It's all good, just can edit em out

#

Also, you can probably just put the direct github link instead of a link to a message containing it

native ice
#

Is that there?

vestal ginkgo
#

Yep

native ice
#

And what's the problem? When you click it it says it changes but stay default or what?

native ice
vestal ginkgo
#

It says it changing it, it wont actually change the skin

native ice
#

Did you click Apply Skin?

vestal ginkgo
#

Yeah

native ice
#

^

novel yew
#

you can also try clicking fix & reload

#

i think it was called

vestal ginkgo
#

tried that too ;-;

#

ima just try and reload the game

how do you install skins with scarab

yoo, reloading fixed it

#

thx so much

#

@abstract badger ya how do you install skins with scarab

#

You get custom knight

wooden plaza
#

ya

#

and after

abstract badger

Load the game create a file named skins put the skin in that file

#

The pins literally cover this

#

Yes there is a reason I linked the pins 🤦‍♀️

yoooo so with debug mod i gave myself max masks by accident, and when I got another mask shard, i got 10 masks, is there anyway I can remove it and go back to 9??

guys how to do I update my hollow knight to 1.5 on steam its not letting me update it at all im stuck on 1.4.3.2

dense shuttleBOT
novel bronze
#

ok thanks

native ice
novel yew
#

any way or mod to make 1.4.3.2 run faster?? my computer bad and cant run it without freezing every 2 secs

wheat orchid
#

From what I’ve heard (haven’t personally compared) the ModdingApi itself makes the game a bit faster. Other than lowering particles or removing objects after a level is loaded, there’s not much that can be done. If this is happening consistently in every room (even small ones) then there’s really not much that can be done (unless somebody makes the talked about “playmaker rewrite” (rewrite some bad code to be not bad))

novel yew
#

that sounds hard

abstract badger
#

correct me if i am wrong but I believe QoL can help with loading as well as some other general things like that

wheat orchid
#

I don’t think it helps with loading, don’t think anything can help with that unless you modify the game’s asset files, it does make some cutscenes skipped or faster though

native ice
#

Wasn't there also a thing where clearing registry could fix some lag when switching between versions?

#

Maybe that was input lag

wheat orchid
#

If you do install mods, to avoid lag, avoid “meme” mods. They tend to have less effort put into them and can be programmed with slow code

narrow oracle
#

As an example the hat mod

novel yew
#

yeah that does slow the game

restive stump
#

hey dumb question, if I down patch to install mods dose that wipe the saves on the more recent patch or dose it all transfer.

novel yew

it transfers

harsh wigeon

the game will not stop freezing when i unpause.

native ice
# harsh wigeon the game will not stop freezing when i unpause.

That happens when exiting the menu by pressing a key/button to exit the pause menu instead of using the "Back" button. There's a workaround mod to force close it if it happens, so you don't have to alt + f4 and lose progress. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/899325564962344980/EscapeHatch.dll
Download this and place it in a folder inside your mods folder (Press "Open Mods" in scarab) and then when it glitches, press f3 on your keyboard (may need to press fn + f3) and it'll close the menu

I can not open scarab i can download it but i can't open it

Everytime I launch scarab I get this error

I decided to try out the Grimmchild Upgrades mod, installed it correctly, as far as I know, and opened my Goddseeker save. The mod shows as enabled, but does not appear to actually work:
the fireballs do as little damage as ever, the notch cost remains at 2, and there is no added Soul from the shots. I've removed it and reinstalled it multiple times, and have checked the file with its settings.
I am using mod installer2.
Help?

novel yew
#

Directed the path or directly put on game folder

#

Mmm

#

We gonna have to wait for river or cyren then

native ice
#

Where did you buy the game from? And can you describe the crash?

native ice
#

Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

#

Wait for it to finish, then go to the main menu and tell me what game version it says

novel yew
#

#

You purchased the game? Correct?

Please tell the truth

Yes or no

south badge
#

Oh is this meant for me?

#

Yeah so as I was saying, there’s nothing legally wrong with modifying software - legally being the operative word - I don’t know of any country that has passed statute which outlaws fiddling with the code of something that you actually own

native ice
#

What?

south badge
#

Just explaining the legality of homebrews to Ismoil

#

Obviously it’s not legal to run pirated software with that device, and you can’t then go and resell it since that would be copyright infringement, but making a home brew in the first place is not expressly banned anywhere that I know of

native ice
#

I don't think this is really the place for this conversation

#

Can you like, take it to DMs?

south badge
#

Sorry, I was redirected here

#

I’m done anyway since there’s nothing else to say on it

native ice
#

Yeaa, #hk-help kinda does that sometimes, in some cases it's justified cuz it's tech support, but this conversation would belong in #off-topic or dms

hey, I have the old mod installer for 1.4.3.2 and i want to update my game. i tried using the mod installer to revert to unmodded before i update, but when i click the revert button it says it can't find the game. i tried verifying the game files in steam and tried changing the default install path (it's in the steam dir in program files (x86) so im pretty sure thats the default path anyway), but I get the same error. can i just go ahead and update the game or should i completely uninstall and reinstall?

novel yew
#

Just delete modinst and all the mods folder

#

Then update

blissful wharf
#

alright cool, sounds good

#

and while i'm here i may as well ask, is there a mod i can use to practice radiance without having to fight thk first? i just wanna learn her attack patterns and it throws off my groove every time i die lol

#

not necessarily a mod just for that, if theres a way to tp in there with a debug mod or something then that would work too

Long shot but here goes: I have frequent crashes when I'm playing HK 1221. Both debug and normal. Happens after random minutes of playtime. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 30min. I just get a black screen and my pc reboots. Windows event viewer shows a fatal hardware error.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 4

Details don't really say anything.

I tried upping the voltage of my cpu with 0.025, but I'm a bit weary of upping it more because I'm not familiar with overclocking or anything like that. That's why I want to ask here first if anybody has had the same issue before?

novel yew
#

Before someone actually comes and helps you

#

Are you doing speedruns?

#

1221 its mostly for that only

#

Older versions tend to be slower

#

And even crash

limber hull
#

yes i'm doing speedruns, or trying to 😄

#

and my pc only crashes when I play HK

blissful wharf
#

I tried to install transtrans with scarab and scarab crashed. Error log begins as follows, I can upload the full log if you want.
"ReactiveUI.UnhandledErrorException: An object implementing IHandleObservableErrors (often a ReactiveCommand or ObservableAsPropertyHelper) has errored, thereby breaking its observable pipeline. To prevent this, ensure the pipeline does not error, or Subscribe to the ThrownExceptions property of the object in question to handle the erroneous case.
---> System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.
---> System.IO.IOException: Cannot determine the frame size or a corrupted frame was received."

#

Could it be an interaction with another mod? these are the other ones i installed

native ice
#

It's just transtrans?

blissful wharf
#

yeah just transtrans, everything else i wanted installed fine

native ice
#

Apparently it just doesn't have a github, so there's the direct download that scarab uses

blissful wharf
#

weird, it wont let me load the webpage to download the file

native ice
#

When you click it it should just directly start the download

blissful wharf
#

it didn't download anything. nothing in my downloads folder or chrome download history page

native ice
#

Hmmm

blissful wharf
#

like obviously this mod isnt super important but i like it

native ice
#

Here, try this

blissful wharf
#

that works, thanks!

limber hull
# native ice It's just 1.2.2.1?

I don't recall having crashes when I played the latest patch, but I haven't done that in over 6 months because I've been practicting for a speedrun

#

Did you use depotdownloader? Semi-recently 1.2.2.1 was added to the Steam betas, so perhaps try that? I don't know what difference it'd really make but it's worth a shot, and you could maybe test if it's having issues on CP while you're at it.

keen python
#

okay so what exactly do i do

native ice
#

Do you have randomizer 4 installed?

keen python
#

yeah

native ice
#

Uh, maybe try deleting the globalsettings files for randomizer and skill upgrades. They should be in the same folder as modlog. Also make sure your game is closed

keen python
#

alright thanks

keen python
twilit crescent
#

Oh

native ice
#

Is it too up-to-date?

keen python
#

i just updated it a bit ago

twilit crescent
#

No, the error from the modlog they posted shouldn’t happen with current skill upgrades and rando 4.0.2

#

(I would expect that error from current skill upgrades and rando 4.0.1)

keen python
#

might have been cuz i was doing the global settings delete thing while i was updating

#

whats the name of that mod that lets you use dash and other abilities and stuff

native ice
#

Uh, what?

keen python
#

saw it in reyleas vid

like you go into menu and then you can like take abilities and stuff

You're saying lets you give yourself items

where can i find the download folder for the modinstaller

#

do the old files for custom knight(files from the youtube tutorials) work with the new mod installer?
i pasted the grimmknight skin file into the custom knight folder but it doesnt show up in the game, just the swapper skin
EDIT: apologies, according to the youtube tutorial you paste it into the custom knight folder, but i found that you actually have to paste it into the skins folder within custom knight. it now works

my game keeps freezing, when i unpause after changing a setting in the mods menu. any clue why? these are the mods i have

#

no error log because it doesnt crash, it just freezes

#

screen stays dimmed as if it were paused but theres no pause menu, just the benchwarp menu. the only thing i can do that seems to do anything is F1 to hide/unhide the debug hud, but i can't interact with anything on the hud (for debug or benchwarp). other than that the only thing i can do is alt+f4

I downloaded custom knight mod and it also downloaded satchel, do I have to keep satchel enabled at all times when using custom knight?

twilit crescent

But satchel doesn't change your game at all on its own (unless other mods like custom knight are using it) so there's no need to worry about it

okay thanks

Hey how do i get speedrun mod on scarab?

#

or can i not?

real jacinth
#

you can't

#

QoL has basically the same functionality

#

so you could just use that

opal stratus
#

alr

#

thanks

#

also does scarab work with latest version of the game? like the vanilla version on steam?

brittle pelican
#

hey can i get a link for mods

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
real jacinth
#

scarab works ONLY for that version

brittle pelican
#

ok

opal stratus
#

also, is there a mod that has all the speedrun goals on the side?

#

like so i could use it in practice runs?

real jacinth
#

no

dang

#

eh it is what it is

dull glade
#

Does anyone know everything the QoL mod does, or a list they could direct me to? Using Scarab

real jacinth
#

check it's readme

#

or it's in game settings

dull glade
#

Will using it edit my save in any sort of way? I mean like, if I turn off the mod, will my save file not be compatible with unmodded anymore?

real jacinth
#

no it'll be fine

#

other mods might make permanent save changes

#

QoL isn't one of them

dull glade
#

Alright thank you so much for the help

real jacinth
#

and even then, they'll still be "compatible"

#

you might just have to save edit to fix some values, like damage or something

dull glade
#

will it be like that as soon as i run my file with the mod, or does it depend on which options i turn on?

real jacinth
#

Depends on the mod.

#

Just don't open any saves you don't want to be affected

dull glade
#

hm alr. thx for the help

restive kestrel
#

any ideas on why customknight might be crashing my game when i hit apply?

real jacinth
#

Not without context

restive kestrel
#

using scarab, current patch, new save, applying skin right after health fully loads in for the first time

#

do i need to apply it on the title screen?

real jacinth
#

No

#

Screenshot your title screen. And dont use B to exit menus.

#

Either click with your mouse or use the A button

restive kestrel
#

the B may be the issue, would that persist throughout playing?

real jacinth
#

It would freeze your game

restive kestrel
real jacinth
#

Does your scarab say anything is out of date

restive kestrel
#

no

#

also, customknight and satchel are the only things installed

novel bronze
#

can modding hollow knight corrupt my save files in any way?

i have a problem

limber heron
#

how do you install a map into the game?

i instaled hollow point mod and everything is good,but when i start a new game file it looks like this

#

it fixed itself

real jacinth
#

tell me you didn't read the readme without telling me you didn't read the readme

#

hollow point doesn't work on a fresh save. you have to leave the save and re-enter it

karmic grotto
#

it worked

#

i also have a problem with skin mod

real jacinth
#

you are using hollow point

#

customknight doesn't work normally with that installed

karmic grotto
#

okay thanks

#

im still new in this

#

i started using mods like 3 days ago

how would i be able to play this?

okay cool

does hollow knight mods work on cracked hollow knight?

real jacinth
#

no

limber heron
#

doesnt seem to be in the 1.4.3.2 mod installer, is it exclusive to 1.5?

karmic grotto

you might have to manual install it for 1432

i have a question: if i have a cracked version(sadly) of hollow knight multiplayer is sill possible?

quaint dagger
#

when I do windows key and search for that only my pirated version has that folder

#

my steam version doesnt have another folder or anything that I can find

#

its just the shortcut

real jacinth
#

delete your pirate version completely

quaint dagger
#

ok

real jacinth
#

and go to steam. right click game -> properties -> local files -> browse

#

that's where your game files are

quaint dagger
#

does just pressing the delete key actually delete the file btw or do I have to do something else to uninstall

real jacinth
#

what is "the file"

quaint dagger
#

the folder that has the pirated files

real jacinth
#

yes. delete that whole folder

#

if you're asking if a delete key deletes.... yes

#

it does

quaint dagger

lol ok sry stupid question

buy the game

what list? mods?

real jacinth

just one example

faint valve
#

how is that rude?

real jacinth
#

saying "yo" and making a face when you don't get an immediate response, when you've already butted into a busy room demanding help first, is incredibly rude and immature

so wait, let me get this.

frank trellis
#

what mod is making the title screen say Hollow Knight silknever

real jacinth

randomizer probably

frank trellis

and also makes the version 1.2.2.1

i reloaded the game and it fixed it

real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

frank trellis
#

ok thx

real jacinth
#

it's an easter egg

#

with one of the mods

#

don't remember which

frank trellis
#

ah ok

real jacinth
# slow bolt yes

so you have modding api selected in installer 2? does it say out of date

slow bolt
#

no

#

I don't know if it changes anything but I've used mods before

real jacinth
#

that means nothing

#

and yours doesn't have a mods menu in options?

#

can you screenshot your installer and game title screen

slow bolt
real jacinth
#

is there a mods menu in options

slow bolt
real jacinth
#

k. well your api hasn't been installed then. so....

#

^ try this

slow bolt
#

i will

#

thanks

slow bolt
#

I mean I didn't have any at all

#

I didn't have to remove them

real jacinth
#

??

#

so you have no game files?

#

those files ARE your game

#

so if you don't have any, then your game isn't where you looked

slow bolt
real jacinth
#

??

#

your game wouldn't run without them

#

where did you look

slow bolt
real jacinth
#

that's not it

slow bolt
#

oh

#

i see

#

ok im having them

#

nevermind

#

I had 3 such files, I deleted them and the steam after verification said that everything is ok

real jacinth
#

it shouldn't have

#

it should have had to reaquire those files

does itemSync work when you are in the world or would my friend and i need to set it up again somehow when we resumed the randomizer run we started yesterday?

# real jacinth it shouldn't have

I installed mod installer 1 and now everything works, I have the mods tab in options and I can install normally, but thanks for the help

real jacinth
#

is there any options prior to opening the save, when you pause the game, or when you go into the options -> mods menu?

serene obsidian
#

just "resume"

#

nothing in the mods menu

#

and the "open log folder/helper log/tracker log" settings

real jacinth
#

and there's no menu in game when you pause for reconnection?

#

i've never used the new itemsync, but the dev says it's possible to resume your previous room

serene obsidian
#

nothing

real jacinth
#

have you tried just playing?

#

see if once everyone's in the save, it just works?

serene obsidian
#

appears to be working 🤔

#

well thanks anyways

i just reinstalled hollow knight, and i still have my mods from before (on the newest version) where do i find the mod menu in my files and how do i make a randomizer, i know i have to go to an older version or whatever

I have a problem with the randomizer mod every mod is loading except for the randomizer mod (using modinstaller2)

real jacinth

if you didn't move it, it's probably still in downloads

novel bronze
#

alright

real jacinth
#

though you should move it to desktop

#

for easier access. and downloads isn't really a real folder

real jacinth
#

though, if you're only looking for randomizer, you should play on current patch and use scarab tbh

gritty night
#

ok i will try it ty

when that pops up, just click "more info"

Quick question, do skins that were made for patches like 1.2, will they still work on 1.5+

gritty night

serecore wasnt enabled

real jacinth

if you actually mean 1.2, then no

#

they won't work on 1.5

novel bronze
#

will i run into any problems if i just reinstall the mod loader

tough falcon
real jacinth
#

the installer is just a program

redownloading it means you just have an additional copy

when i download inferno king grimm then fight knioghtmare king grimm its not inferno king grimm same with corrupted kin pls help

are they showing up on title screen as installed

no

real jacinth
#

then they aren't installed

#

or enabled/turned on, etc

if you see the triple lines bottom right, click on that and make sure weaver core has them enabled

do i need to keep this folder together or can i just put scarab on desktop

you need to keep it all together

#

I don't think Nick has been able to fix the WeaverCore upload yet

#

it's in an extra subfolder

real jacinth
#

people have said that it "suddenly works" after like 3 game restarts

pliant lantern
#

O.o

real jacinth
#

or after checking the weavercore ingame menu

#

I dunno. it's all weird

pliant lantern
#

Well like, the last WeaverCore upload accidentally had it in an extra folder. So it's /mods/weavercore/weavercore/weavercore.dll

#

and none of the weavercore mods will work if it's like that

#

Nick said that they should be able to fix their upload later this week iirc

real jacinth
#

hmm.... maybe try clicking the enabled check box twice then?

#

maybe it'll yoink it out

pliant lantern
#

Oh, maybe Scarab is auto-fixing it like that? that would be hilarious, tbh

#

If that doesn't work, you can just click "Open Mods", then open the WeaverCore folder, and move the .dll file up a folder manually

real jacinth
#

^

pliant lantern
#

Make it so that
/mods/weavercore/weavercore/weavercore.dll
->
/mods/weavercore/weavercore.dll

real jacinth
#

@weak comet
summary:
1)try clicking the enabled check box twice then (for weavercore on scarab)
2)If that doesn't work, you can just click "Open Mods", then open the WeaverCore folder, and move the .dll file up a folder manually

I decided to try out the Grimmchild Upgrades mod, installed it correctly, as far as I know, and opened my Goddseeker save. The mod shows as enabled, but does not appear to actually work: the fireballs do as little damage as ever, the notch cost remains at 2, and there is no added Soul from the shots. I've removed it and reinstalled it multiple times, and have checked the file with its settings. I am using mod installer2. Help?

real jacinth
#

try on a normal save

#

godseeker saves notoriously break things

weak comet
#

i dont see a .dll file for weavercore

pliant lantern
#

Try re-installing it with Scarab then

#

You need WeaverCore for those other mods to work

weak comet
#

ok

#

how do i reinstall weavercore?

#

nvm i got it

#

nope still dosn't work

real jacinth
#

after you reinstalled weavercore, did you check your mods folder

#

no lemme check

no but is serecore weavercore?

and so i disabled it

#

and it still crashed

real jacinth
#

yeah. b/c you installed the 1.5 api as well

weary hatch
#

how do i remove 1.5

#

the api

real jacinth
#

verify game file integrity

#

then use the old installer again

weary hatch
real jacinth
#

right click game -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity

weary hatch
#

kk

#

done

#

it said 2 files failed to validate what does that mean-

real jacinth
#

it means 2 files don't match what it's expecting

weary hatch
#

ok

#

thanks

How do you make custom knight skins

#

this video should provide a nice tutorial into making a custom knight skin https://youtu.be/PU3y3FwSlJU

I tried to record this maybe a dozen times and this was the shortest I could get it.

hey guys srry for dumb question but i just need to download scarab and run it right?

#

oh ok ty

frank trellis
#

i have weaver core

#

pale prince worked fine

native ice
# frank trellis i have weaver core

Yea, that's a problem with weavercore mods, they're accidentally 1 folder too deep. Go to your mods folder, fine the weaver core mod and corrupted kin and change it from \Mods\Weavercore\Weavercore\Weavercore.dll to \Mods\Weavercore\Weavercore.dll

frank trellis
#

ohhhh

#

change both right?

native ice
#

Yep

#

I've got no clue what's wrong with mantis gods

#

I think the port just broke it somehow

frank trellis
#

It worked tysm

copper whale
#

how do i hide the mods list in the top left?

novel bronze
#

you can't

#

well, you can by uninstalling the modinstaller

native ice
#

Actually

#

You just want to hide all the text?

#

It won't hide the modding api but it'll hide the rest
