Did you get the Mac zip

[novel yew]

lets wait for hotspring

woah you got faster lol

[opaque sundial]

its like the first time i treid it didnt work

[wheat orchid]

that's not the problem

[opaque sundial]

yes i have the installer here unziped

[wheat orchid]

if that were the case, the problem would be with opening the installer, this seems to be with hollow knight

so just to be clear, you selected the 1.4.3.2 version in the beta list?

[opaque sundial]

i can open it and install mods and enable them and yes i am on 1.4.3.2

[wheat orchid]

try following the stuff team cherry posted for mac users (link in this message)

[opaque sundial]

ok ill look there

[steady hamlet]

okay, suddenly works perfectly

ty anyways

[opaque sundial]

ty for the help someone and hotspring ive got it working now😃 , though the custom knight mod seems a lite bugged up and it showes the caracter as a white box lol

[wheat orchid]

it can do that sometimes, to avoid make sure you change skins in smaller rooms

[opaque sundial]

alright

[chilly lily]

how do you get the custom knight mod to work in scarab? i just installed scarab, and while the mod shows up in the menu i dont know how to add more skins to it

[wheat orchid]

You do the same thing you'd do on the old version but put skins in the skins folder inside the customknight folder

[novel yew]

go to options then open skins

put the skins folders inside there

[chilly lily]

ohhhh ok!

[undone python]

I copied my hollow_knight_Data and hollow_knight.exe to another folder, added a steam_appid.txt file and then added this copy to Steam with "Add a Non-Steam game"... but when I try to run it, it doesn't start up... Can someone help? I'm trying to get a separated modded patch for scarab, and then my normal patch is vanilla..

[wheat orchid]

were there any other files in the folder you copied them from?

pretty sure there are at least on current patch

so make sure you copied those too

[novel yew]

wait you can do that?

[wheat orchid]

yeah

[novel yew]

im gonna try

so i copy all to another carpet and now i can have two hk

[undone python]

Let me check

[novel yew]

can one of them be ver 1.4?

[undone python]

yep

[tulip yoke]

[novel yew]

?i

[tulip yoke]

I mean i have the Mod Installer 2 but my game is still vanilla

[novel yew]

ok so i'll copy all files and pass it to another folder, then downpatch steam one, would that work or shoul i do smth else?

[novel yew]

be more specific

[tulip yoke]

The modinstaller didnt affect my hk

[abstract badger]

what patch
where did you buy the game from

[tulip yoke]

Steam, 1.4

[undone python]

Do you know what files I should copy as well?

[wheat orchid]

install the modding api mod from the installer

[tulip yoke]

oh my modding api is out of date

[novel yew]

ok so ill try this, hope yall werent joking

[wheat orchid]

you only need stuff inside the folder the exe is in and subfolders

[wheat orchid]

why would we? also https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/jlten you'll need to follow the multiple installed patches section of this

[undone python]

right, but due to mods and stuff, there's a ton of stuff there that isn't from the vanilla game

[novel yew]

i already tried to follow this like 5 times and never worked

[tulip yoke]

My problem is fixed thx

[undone python]

did you add the steam_appid.txt?

[novel yew]

eh no

first lemme copy all then im back

[wheat orchid]

that's literally the part I told you to look at lol

[wheat orchid]

do you want the copied one to have mods or the original?

[undone python]

I want the copy to be modded, and I've already linked Scarab to that directory, but the original should stay vanilla

[wheat orchid]

then you can just copy everything?

[undone python]

yeah okay fair enough 😂

lemme try that

[novel yew]

ok i copied everything even the mods

literally copy pasted whole folder exe was in

now what do i do

bc i find that guide above confusing

for me at least

[undone python]

okay, now make a txt file in that folder named steam_appid.txt
then in that txt file add this: 367520

[wheat orchid]

then you can just right click hk in steam, go to properties, local files, verify integrity, I don't care that it tells you files failed to validate, then if you really want to delete mods from the first, you can go to hollow_knight_Data/managed and delete the mods folder

[novel yew]

ok done

[undone python]

then now it should work

in theory

[novel yew]

lemme try

[undone python]

sounds good, also it works now, so thank you

[novel yew]

Ok game opens moddeds and okay

What should i do to get the other one as 1.4 hk

[wheat orchid]

2. Create a new text document in this folder titled "steam_appid" and in that document copy only the number "367520". If you have file name extensions showing, the name of document will be "steam_appid.txt", if you don't you'll only see "steam_appid".

btw is this considered confusing? I want to write a version that's not confusing to copy and paste here when people need it

[wheat orchid]

exact same thing, copy paste, add the text file

[undone python]

This is pretty straight-forward

[novel yew]

im just dumb and maybe its bc my native language isnt english but what does this means

[novel yew]

if you have file name extensions showing,

[wheat orchid]

it's an option in file explorer

[novel yew]

oh

i put .txt

[novel yew]

ok i fixed it lol

[wheat orchid]

if you didn't have show file extensions on then this would make it steam_appid.txt.txt

[novel yew]

ok so i just downpatch the game in steam like normal and i have the two patches?

[wheat orchid]

yeah

[novel yew]

that happened lol

[novel yew]

thx much

also im gonna change scarab path before i forget lmao

also one stupid question

can you get steam collectionable cards if using modss?

i havent got more since mods

hey i have another problem

[wheat orchid]

I'd think so since achievements on steam should still work

[novel yew]

my modinstaller is installing 1.4 mods on 1.5 hk

is there any way to change the path?

[wheat orchid]

is it mod installer 2?

[novel yew]

yes

[wheat orchid]

scarab is really just a updated mod installer 2 so they share the same settings path

[novel yew]

oh so i use modinst 1?

[wheat orchid]

yeah

[novel yew]

ok i guess ill do

oh no a zote

royal dreamermod?

guess ill have to install to find out

thanks again

for helping me

[wheat orchid]

makes markoth harder and other dream warriors as well depending on if it's weird still or not

[novel yew]

oh thanks

then im not gonna install

i promise final question sorry for being that annoying but

enemy rando room mode. whats it?

[blissful vessel]

is there a mod that lets me freeze my camera?

so the camera doesn't follow my character

also something that lets me hide the UI

[wheat orchid]

I'm not sure

[wheat orchid]

debug mod lets you do that, not sure about the other one

[novel yew]

ok thans anyway

[slim wraith]

what do the numbers counting down mean?

plus all the other options on the left side

the countdown finished and didn't seem to do anything

[gleaming bone]

when I downloaded the mods it would make it so my game would not turn on? dose anyone know how to fix it?

[sour summit]

i installed custom knight and the skins, in the a game appear that the mod is installed, but i don't know where to go to select the skin

[minor kettle]

someone to test HKMP with me?

[novel yew]

options, mods, customknight

[thorny beacon]

Is the QoF mod cheating? I'm not planning on speedrunning but I still don't like using mods that have functions that are cheats or anything game changing.

[novel yew]

you should ask that in speedruning

[abstract badger]

Iirc Every single mod is banned in speed running

[thorny beacon]

as I said I'm not planning on speedrunning just asking if its cheating

[real jacinth]

that depends on you.

everyone defines cheating differently

if you want to use it, use it

if you don't, then don't

[abstract badger]

I would say certain parts of qol are cheating but others are fine but it’s up to you

[spark totem]

is there any mod installer for hollow knight pirate?

[novel yew]

NO

buy the game

[thorny beacon]

Just buy the game

[novel yew]

we dont support that here anyways

[summer crag]

what do yall use to make skins

like, what do you use make sure that when you make the skin each sprite doesnt get cut off or overlap with another

[frozen aspen]

so i downloaded the hollow point mod and i cant shood any bullets

like i can use the gun

but no bullets

[native ice]

Sprite Packer or custom knight creator for that specific thing. Or you can just draw over the knight sprite sheet, and stay close to the knights shape

[native ice]

is this a new save?

[frozen aspen]

yes

i could restart my save

[native ice]

Quit to menu and reload the save

[summer crag]

wher find

[frozen aspen]

i didnt get too much

thank you

hi! I'm new to modding hollowknight, and I was hoping for some advice or to be pointed to where I could get a multiplayer mod for hk? My friends and i want to play together. We're in different states, so It would need to support port-forwarding or a vpn. Thanks!

I’m trying to do a randomizer run, and I spawned in royal water ways, but when I died, I respawned with the vessel in it’s walking animation without moving. I can’t open any menus or move. I can only alt F4. How do I fix this?

[silent patio]

thank you very much

[left wadi]

so ive managed to get the mod running and i have a friend who joined, can we play co-op or is my friend just kinda there?

[novel yew]

eh wdym

hes there you can see him

like hes in another file, but in your screen tooo

and if you are in the pvp server you can hit them

[native ice]

You can hit eachothers enemies

although enemies aren't synced

Also you can pogo off eachothers nails, it's pretty funny

If you're looking for a more involved experience, I'd suggest trying out an item sync/multiworld randomizer

[novel yew]

yeah hard and fun, once i go to dnail without vspirit

[novel bronze]

Am I just being ignored here? XD

[novel yew]

no

[native ice]

You're being ignored because no one knows the answer to your question

[novel yew]

we just dont know lmao

[novel bronze]

Ahh

[native ice]

And us just saying "I don't know" isn't helpful to you

[novel yew]

exactly

[novel bronze]

[novel yew]

so we better

[novel yew]

no its normal to think that

but now you know

[wispy mortar]

the companion cloth isnt working

for the mods

how does it work?

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-zote-the-knight-gif-14177395

[lost sun]

should i be backing up my saves before I look to mod hollow knight?

even if i won't be playing mods on that save

[abstract badger]

There isn’t really a reason to back up saves mods won’t really break them but if you would like to you can

[merry smelt]

im trying to get into the game but it says its loading i waited way too long and it still says its loading

[lost sun]

thank you, are there any vids on how to use scarab

i extracted the files but idk what to do from there :((

[wheat orchid]

Does the loading look like this or not?

[merry smelt]

no

im able to access the menu

[wheat orchid]

You open scarab.exe or whatever it is for your operating system

[wheat orchid]

What mods do you have on

[native ice]

Your save files?

^

[lost sun]

i can't find that in the file i downloaded from github

[wheat orchid]

Did you download the source code or the .zip for your operating system

[lost sun]

yes i did

just whichever one the link here took us to

[wheat orchid]

No, which one

[lost sun]

https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab

[wheat orchid]

Where’d you get that link? You’re supposed to have the releases link

[lost sun]

i got it from the pinned messages

on this channel

[wheat orchid]

Would you mind linking the one with it?

All the ones I remember link to releases

[lost sun]

here

[wheat orchid]

That links to releases

See the difference in the link?

[lost sun]

oh i get it now

there is a windows zip right

[wheat orchid]

So you had to intentionally click on something else

Yes

[zinc rose]

I have custom knight downloaded but it's not there

[wheat orchid]

Try restarting, also don’t use CustomKnight with hkmp if you want to use skins online, it has it’s own skin system

[native ice]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/889031834938265610/Global_Settings_Clear.bat

If you're on windows

download and run this

With the game closed

and it should fix it

but also what someone said

[unborn timber]

Does anyone know how to get the enemies to randomize for hollow knight? I figured out everything else but I don’t understand the enemy randomization

[bitter maple]

I want to play the multiplayer mod with one of my friends but when i try to host it says invalid port any fixes

[patent knoll]

My friend was having an issue where he could heal really fast and it required little soul. He unistalled all mods to try and fix it (because it only started when he downloaded customknight), but now he cant heal at all. He tried unistalling scarab but that didnt work. Can anyone help?

[shadow talon]

Hey

[wheat orchid]

Which multiplayer mod are you using

[shadow talon]

Hey

[wheat orchid]

Click load enemy randomizer on the title screen after restarting the game

[shadow talon]

How can I get Absolute inferno king grimm?

[wheat orchid]

?pins Fast healing is caused by using hollow point, look in the pinned messages for how to fix it

hkmp

[wheat orchid]

The mod or the setting in the mod?

[silent patio]

I need help, im currently playing a game with my friend but for some reason he appears as my skin even though he is using a different skin how do i fix this?

[wheat orchid]

Did you change the port?

[bitter maple]

i dont think so

[wheat orchid]

Which multiplayer mod and are you using CustomKnight to change skins or not

[wheat orchid]

Screenshot the pause menu (black out any ips if you need)

[silent patio]

im using multiplayer client (alpha pre-release0 and server

[patent knoll]

thank you

[zinc rose]

Hey I did what you said about unistalling the custom knight since I have HKMP but I can see my friend's skin but he can't see either his skin or my skin

[silent patio]

and yes i am using custom knight skins

[wheat orchid]

Then every knight will have the same skin. Skin support was taken out of that one and ids no longer updated, unlike hkmp which has skin support (built in, doesn’t use CustomKnight) and is actively updated

[wheat orchid]

Huh, I remember those being automatically filled

[silent patio]

so should i download hkmp and delete something else?

[wheat orchid]

Delete the old multiplayer mods and get hkmp (can download it through scarab or manually on ver 1.4.3.2 of hollow knight)

[wheat orchid]

Enter 26950 as the port

[silent patio]

can you show me where to get the file for manual download

[unborn timber]

So sorry, but I don’t see where to click load enemy randomizer and I just reset, where exactly should it be?

[wheat orchid]

Screenshot

[unborn timber]

Kk

[wheat orchid]

I’ll give you a link to the hkmp server where you’ll get info on using ServerKnights

[wheat orchid]

I’ll send it in a min and I’ll dm you a link to the hkmp server. Just warning you, in the 1.4.3.2 ver ServerKnights might not have been introduced yet

It's only on 1.4.3.2

[unborn timber]

ah then thats my problem, thanks so much

sry to waste time

[wheat orchid]

Is enemy rando currently being ported?

[native ice]

I'd hope so

[wheat orchid]

if not…. What’s an afternoon of not working on pale court gonna do to the progress?

Just port and add mod menu, how hard can that be?

how skin

[tough panther]

hey how to get the gun mod?

it's called hollow point

you can get it on modinstaller/scarab

how to activate randomapmods

i'm using 1.4.3.2 with modinstaller 2, and my mods arn't showing up... What am i doing wrong?

[patent knoll]

My friend went into his save files to change focusMP_amount because his soul was glitched. He set it to 33 yet it still takes so little soul to heal. He's using 1.5. Can anybody help?

[frank trellis]

i think theres something about a hollowpoint soul issue in the pins

[patent knoll]

yeah there is

he tried that but it didnt work

[real jacinth]

what did they do exactly

did they still have QOL installed?

which method was used

did they do it with the game closed?

[patent knoll]

they did

im not sure if they have QOL installed

and they used this method:
1.5 Only! Using MoreSaves from Scarab:

• In the Hollow Knight main menu, go to Options > Mods > MoreSaves > Save Edit
• In the search bar, type "focusMP_amount"
• Set the value to 33

[native ice]

Does he still have hollow point installed?

[patent knoll]

ill ask him

no he didnt have QOL or hollow point installed

[native ice]

Did they make sure to apply the changes?

[patent knoll]

yeah they did

[full kelp]

is this for fixing soul after uninstalling hollowpoint or fixing hollowpoint's bug

[patent knoll]

im not sure

[native ice]

after uninstalling

what bug?

[patent knoll]

well it started when they had it installed

I believe

[native ice]

Uh, well maybe have them try again/try one of the other methods

[native ice]

Yes, soul is used differently in HP

[patent knoll]

yeah

then it glitched all their saves

[native ice]

so if HP is active then the soul should be doing that, but if you uninstall it it has lasting effects

[patent knoll]

its not active

they unistalled all their mods

[native ice]

^

[real jacinth]

if they uninstalled all at the same time, the moresaves fix wont work

[patent knoll]

okay

[real jacinth]

b/c they'd still have had HP running

so it would have just instantly reverted it

[full kelp]

soul not automatically generating

even when I hit something with the gun it doesn't give me soul

[real jacinth]

its not supposed to

did you reload the save ever?

in hollow point, soul is your gun ammo

that's it

[full kelp]

oh when I first played it would refill my soul gauge over time

I didn't have debug on or anything

so it was definitely HP doing that

[native ice]

What game version is this on?

[coral jackal]

uh

I just downloaded 1.2.2.1 and got the debug mod on it (for speedrunning) and now I can't seem to play 1.5.78 anymore.

any help?

[native ice]

Can you elaborate?

[coral jackal]

I changed the version to 1.2.2.1, copied it to a different folder, then (I think at least) re-updated it to 1.5.78

I may have made a mistake re-updating it

crap I should probably look that up

could somebody help me with that here?

I did the downgrade and have it in a separate folder on my desktop rather than in steam

but I'd like to have the current version installed as well.

[coral jackal]

could you help me with the above information?

[native ice]

did you set the betas to none?

[coral jackal]

yes

would you like me to show you in a vc?

actually

I'm just gonna downgrade it and upgrade it again

I may have messed something up through the process and it'll probably just be easier this way

[native ice]

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

then try and launch the game again

[coral jackal]

oh ight

[novel bronze]

Can anyone help me my 104 percent save got set to 4 percent when I was messing around with mods and I don't know hot fix it

[native ice]

actually, can you explain inw hat way 1.5 is crashing?

[native ice]

You still have all your stuff?

[coral jackal]

it's just launching the 1.2.2.1 debug mod

[novel bronze]

Yeah I have my stuff but it says 4 percent

[native ice]

Completion % is a value stored in the save file, you can change it by save editing

Are you using any mods?

[novel bronze]

I had the extra save page mod and a randomizer

[native ice]

Is this on 1.5?

[novel bronze]

Yes

[novel bronze]

Where can I find this?

[native ice]

MoreSaves lets you save edit. On the main menu > options > mods > more saves settings > edit a save > pick a save slot > completion % should be near the top

[native ice]

Then that sounds like you did something wrong with adding multiple patches

[novel bronze]

Ok thank you

[coral jackal]

yep

I'm trying to validate the thingy

but it hasn't done anything

[native ice]

That probably won't fix it, I thought your game was crashing when you said 1.5 wasn't working

[coral jackal]

ah

how should I fix?

[native ice]

So, let me get this straight. You

1. Set steam betas to 1.2.2.1
2. Copied your entire game files somewhere else (not in the steam common folder)
3. Added steamappid
4. Set your steam betas to none
   Correct?

[vapid harness]

is online mods in scarab or do we have to do it manually ?

[coral jackal]

seems right

[native ice]

I assume you mean multiplayer, yes it's on Scarab. It's called HKMP and there's a guide in the pins

[vapid harness]

thx

[native ice]

And launching through steam opens the 1.2.2.1 version?

[coral jackal]

yep

[native ice]

And what happens if you launch the 1.2.2.1 version?

[coral jackal]

I'm not sure because I don't have that set up yet

:|

[native ice]

Hm? You should just be able to launch the app from the folder

[coral jackal]

oh alright=

the main reason that I use steam is for controller compatability

it also launches the debug mod 1.2.2.1

should I uninstall and reinstall or downpatch and update?

I think that either of those should work

[native ice]

Try the latter yea

or wait no

the former

[coral jackal]

yessir

or madam

[novel bronze]

I fixed my save tysm

[novel bronze]

I’ve been messing around with the mods and I noticed through some testing that whenever I apply the randomizer mod and die, the only thing I can do is alt f4. Am I the only person having this issue? And is there a way to fix it?

[pastel hound]

hi

can someone help me w something

its possible to mod HK if i download w xbox game pass?

on PC

[native ice]

Unfortunately not

[coral jackal]

fixed :O

[pastel hound]

oh

[native ice]

I've not heard any reports of such, do you have all the dependencies?

[pastel hound]

thx

[native ice]

wait

I forgot, the other night there was a way hold on

[novel bronze]

Idk what that is

[native ice]

Mods required to make other mods work

Is this randomizer 4?

[novel bronze]

Yes

[native ice]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13m-jJqI_Sk-rqoX9YO2T7ucvwP5DIMbf3wkmVSlm2WI/edit?usp=sharing

You can try this

[novel bronze]

And I made sure I had the other ones listed enabled

[latent tulip]

i downloaded the 1.5 modinstaller but nothing shows up in game am i missing somthing?

[native ice]

Is it in every save?

[native ice]

you installed mods with it?

[latent tulip]

yes

[native ice]

#archived-modding-help message
try this, but for step 3 install a mod/reinstall a mod

[novel bronze]

Wdym by every save?

[native ice]

Have you tried starting another randomizer?

[novel bronze]

Yes

[native ice]

And it happens in all of them?

[novel bronze]

Yup

[native ice]

Can you screenshot the top left corner of your main menu?

[novel bronze]

Yeh

Gimme a sec

I don’t know my hot key for screenshots

[native ice]

Oh

[novel bronze]

Sorry about that

[native ice]

Try uninstalling benchwarp fix

[simple tusk]

why does modding api still show in the top left even when its uninstalled?

[native ice]

That's for a specific bug with benchwarp, not required for it

[native ice]

Probably cause it's not uninstalled. Steam library > right click HK> properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

[coral jackal]

if you're on windows you can do windows+shift+s

[viscid marsh]

For some reason I can't hit anything in game (Pretty sure debug mod screwed it up somehow but idk)
Here's a link to a fight I recorded.

I can still use spells to damage

Just not nail

[novel bronze]

It’s doing something slightly different, but I can still only alt f4. Instead of a black screen, I can see my surroundings and the vessel is stuck in his running animation

[dense yoke]

How do I setup randomizer for multiplayer mod? my friend is copying the same seed but it's still different items every time

[native ice]

You probably set nail damage to 0 with debug hotkeys

Put it back up

[viscid marsh]

How do I do that?

Lol

[novel bronze]

If I reopen the saved file after I alt f4 and jump I just go up until I let go of jump, in which case I just hover

[hoary spear]

Do mods disable achievements/trophies?

[native ice]

In game , no. On steam, no. On gog, maybe

[hoary spear]

Uh nice

I am on steam and was thinking to get all achievements first. And then mod, but if it doesn't matter I can get started sooner

^^

[native ice]

Look through debugs hotkey menu

[viscid marsh]

It's fixed

YAY

It's been broken for like 3 months lol

Thank you

[novel bronze]

@native ice new update: on a reloaded file, I cannot open the pause menu or my inventory until I either go through a loading zone or rest at a bench

[native ice]

Wait do you have randomizer core installed? It might just be one that doesn't show up in the mod list

[novel bronze]

It shows up as enabled on the right, but not in game

[native ice]

Then the only other idea I have is to try removing everything but rando and it's 3 dependencies, and test if it works

Then add em back one at a time

[abstract badger]

Iirc rando core doesn’t appear in the top left

[native ice]

Yea I figured

[novel bronze]

Wait

3?

[native ice]

Core, item changer and menu changer

[novel bronze]

Mine says there are 5 dependencies

[abstract badger]

I believe qol and benchwarp aren’t required for the mod to run correctly so it technically has three

[native ice]

They're optional but recommend

[novel bronze]

Gotcha

[viscid canopy]

Hey question friend of mine and I are trying to play hollow knight multiworld together we are useing modinstaler 2 is there a simple way for us to play it from the installer it self or does it require external mods?

[native ice]

Multiworld has to be gotten externally, but also. You may want to update to 1.5 and get scarab as rando 4 was released and so was multiworld

[viscid canopy]

is there a link for the scarab launcher here in the pinned messages?

[abstract badger]

And it is worth noting you will need to also install multi world lib for multiworld to work

[viscid canopy]

and where might i find that then?

since we both pretty new to the whole rando and multiworld modding for hollow knight and the last time we tried it was like a long time ago

[abstract badger]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/922515802287116348/929437375912902716/MultiWorld.dll
the multi worldlib should be up to date but idk if this multiworld link is

[tawny bison]

wait so once i download scarab what do i do next?

extract all?

[abstract badger]

Extract open scarab install a mod play the game

[viscid canopy]

and the multiworld link can just be found somewhere online right?

[abstract badger]

get the mods from here https://github.com/Shadudev/HollowKnight.MultiWorld

[viscid canopy]

ah oke and we can just manualy add them to instaler 2?

[abstract badger]

Download them and move the notepad to you mods folder

[viscid canopy]

ah oke

[novel bronze]

Holy shit. Thank you. The bench warp mod was broken. By disabling and re-enabling it fixed itself. For some reason the deploy button wasn’t working with a glitched/nonexistent bench

[novel yew]

H e l p

Itemsync atoped working

Suddenly

It stop giving me items

[abstract badger]

Patch?

[novel yew]

1.5

Rando 4

All dependencies

Same config

[abstract badger]

Is it up to date?

[novel yew]

Worked at the start

Yes i checked

[tawny bison]

uhh open what. im slightly confused. its just a folder rn or whatever its called (im not that familiar with windows) what am i missing

[novel bronze]

You could try disable/re-enable. It worked for my issue XD

[tawny bison]

i feel like i did something wrong

[abstract badger]

You sure your hash was the same and that you had sync vanilla items on

[novel yew]

Hash wasnt the same and vanilla item sync was on

[abstract badger]

Open the file named scarab or scarab.exe

[viscid canopy]

is this how the mods map should look like for multiworld? or what files should be added?

[abstract badger]

The hash absolutely MUST be the same I believe what happened is you had one setting of so some of the items that were the same were synced but the different ones won’t

[novel yew]

I got one enemy confused

Just realized lmao

[abstract badger]

That looks good just get the multi world note pad also and put it in the mods folder

[tawny bison]

scarab-1.9.0.0 or what?

itll be nice if someone made a tutorial on how to do this

[viscid canopy]

eh i cant see a note pad they are all C# project sources

[abstract badger]

It ain’t to confusing it’s just downloaded extract open

[native ice]

If you're having trouble screenshot it

You might've installed the source code

[abstract badger]

On the GitHub?

[neat jackal]

idk if this is the right channel for this kind of question but I'm trying to fight 2 NKG at once but when I dupe him he just gets stuck. Is it possible to change that? Also, is there a way to stop the game from ending the fight after killing the original eventho the clone is still alive?

[viscid canopy]

In downloaded order are these the main 3 maps i downloaded from the github

[native ice]

Doesn't infinite Grimm do something like that?

[neat jackal]

i ll try

[native ice]

It's only on 1.4 tho

[neat jackal]

oh ok

[native ice]

Otherwise I don't think there's a way to do that

[novel bronze]

Where do I go to view/edit the debug mod hot keys?

[abstract badger]

The binds menu of debug

[novel bronze]

Is that in-game or in the downloaded files?

[abstract badger]

in game hit f1 or hit the `~ button i beleive that is default

[abstract badger]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/922515802287116348/929437375912902716/MultiWorld.dll try this link

[viscid canopy]

the dill's are program extensions

[abstract badger]

? Just use this link for multiworld and put the downloaded .dll in the mods folder

[viscid canopy]

and that should just do the rest for us then?

[abstract badger]

I believe so

[viscid canopy]

so then this should be my folder for multiworld to work

[abstract badger]

❗Hollow knight Crashes upon opening, after installing a mod:
-This glitch can happen for a number of reasons make sure that all the reasons listed listed below don't apply to you.

🔸 You are on the incorrect patch for scarab or Modinstaller 1/2.
Scarab is made for patch 1.5 and like wise Modinstaller 1/2 is made for version 1.4.3.2 if you are on a different patch then consult the pins 📌 for a guide on changing your patch for the modinstaller you would like to use. If want to stay on your patch get the correct installer and install a mod on it to stop the crashing.

🔺You pirated the game/own the game cracked.
Piracy is illegal and we encourage you to buy the game (you will not receive any form of support here until you do so). Piracy is not supported in most communities and that includes modding ones.

HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version and the official GoG version.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/

🔸If none of the above worked.
Although rare if your issue persists verify game integrity to restore missing files. After that reinstall your installer and install a mod. If that doesn’t work you will have to play the game un-modded.

Verify on Steam:

From the Library section, right-click on hollow knight and select Properties from the menu.
Select the LOCAL FILES tab and click the VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES button
Steam will verify the game files.

Verify on GOG Galaxy:

From the Library section, click on Hollow knight.
Click the More drop down.
Hover the mouse over Manage Installation
Click Verify / Repair
Confirm the request by clicking VERIFY GAME in the pop up.

I know like nothing about photoshop, but if you can draw in it and export it as a png then you're good. And it'd probably even work with CKCreator

[full kelp]

how do you use abilities in hollowpoint

[native ice]

Have at least 1 adrenaline

Also Vengeful spirit has been replaced with a passive

[full kelp]

yeah

I just got the up spell

i'll try with the adrenaline

that works thanks

[rose bough]

What do they do? I haven't seen anyone play the more recent HollowPoint

[native ice]

Several different things, they should be the same as the 1.4 version though. Changes based on your kit, I believe up spell is airstrikes, downspell is like a small nuke or something

[rose bough]

also how does Scarab for Linux work?

[rose bough]

Interesting, I must have tried using them without adrenalin

[native ice]

Can't say but it should be the same as windows/mac mostly

[rose bough]

ah ok had to run it through terminal

[digital leaf]

p

[arctic vapor]

where is the google drive for mods

[novel yew]

ehh

there is and i know

but why?

there are inside scarab and modinstallers

[full kelp]

hey I can't get custom knight working, it's installed and the skins show up in game, but it doesn't switch to the skin and freezes. I have looked through the pinned messages and did all the steps for what it said for custom knight not working. I also searched the previous messages and found someone with a similar issue, but it was not resolved.

what should I do?

[novel yew]

ok, where did you put the skins

yo manually entered customknight folder

[full kelp]

in the skins folder in customknight

[novel yew]

or clicked open skins option

[full kelp]

clicked open skins

[novel yew]

ok

you say it doesnt work, \

[green sable]

so hey how do i get the mod launcher

[novel yew]

prob you tried fix and reload

That's a common issue

Hold on

That happens when you exit the menu not clicking the "Back" button, and use B or Esc instead. There's a workaround mod to fix that
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/899325564962344980/EscapeHatch.dll
Download it, place it into a folder in your mods folder (Press "Open Mods" on scarab), next time it happens, press f3 (may need to press fn + f3)

[full kelp]

okay i'll try that

[vague heath]

i downloaded custom knight but theres no folder or file for my hollow knight folder

[abstract badger]

Just to be clear the CK folder isn’t appearing in your mods folder?

[native ice]

Have you ran the game once?

[full kelp]

so the freeze is gone but the skin still does not change

[native ice]

Screenshot the inside of the folder of the skin that doesn't work

[native ice]

Is there a Knight.png in there?

[vague heath]

yes

[native ice]

Is anything showing up in that folder? Did you run the game once after installing mods? What OS are you on?

[vague heath]

i can check again cuz its running rn

[full kelp]

yes

[vague heath]

nothing showing up, ran the game, idk what OS

[native ice]

You looked over this?

[full kelp]

neither of those apply

[native ice]

OS = operating system, i.e. windows, mac, linux

[vague heath]

windows

[native ice]

Can you screenshot the folder you're looking at?

[full kelp]

i just reinstalled satchel and i applied in game

[native ice]

And it's still not showing up?

[full kelp]

yep

[native ice]

That's not the mods folder?

[vague heath]

theres a mods folder?

[native ice]

\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\

[vague heath]

oh im dumb

i kinda forgot there was a mods folder lmao

[full kelp]

so should I just downgrade to 1.4 to use my mods?

[novel yew]

eh its not necesary

until you want a very specific mod

[full kelp]

well half of them are malfunctioning on 1.5

[novel yew]

eh no?

[full kelp]

custom knight is totally broken

[novel yew]

ive only seen one malfunction on 1.5 ever

[full kelp]

the skins are not actually applying

[novel yew]

well thats technically not problem of the mod in general

or 1.5

[full kelp]

i have installed correctly and the skins are in the right places

the skin just doesn't apply

[novel yew]

you know, that someone has a problem doesnt mean that everyone does

[full kelp]

I didn't say that everyone has this problem

[novel yew]

if you want to downgrade yes

[native ice]

Honestly maybe, which other mods are broken?

[novel yew]

its ok but most of 1.4 mods are outdated

and can cause problems and bugs

right river?

[raw zinc]

so uh

im kind of a stupid

and idk how to do anything

[full kelp]

hollow point has had a bunch of off and on glitches

[novel yew]

what happens?

[native ice]

Not enough so that it's not worth downpatching if it'd fix problems that are causing things to not work

[raw zinc]

so how do i do this

[native ice]

Oh, well that ones a bit of a mess

Even on 1.4

No

suffer time

[novel yew]

i already do that without mods

[native ice]

Go fight AIKG

[novel yew]

NO

pleaseeeee

no

[raw zinc]

tf

it comes up with your winzip trial has expired

[novel yew]

LMAO

[raw zinc]

idek what winzip is

[native ice]

Go to 1.4 if you want, it might cause some problems but it seems like custom knight should be working. That'll probably fix it, although I might be missing a way to fix it on 1.5

[novel yew]

Doesnt a aigg exist?

[novel yew]

winzip is new winrar

[native ice]

I don't think so

[novel yew]

absolute inferno god grimm

[raw zinc]

you see

[full kelp]

so i just tried disabling basically everything but custom knight and it still doesn't work

[raw zinc]

i dont know what winrar is

[native ice]

Win zip is an application to help with packing/unzipping folders, it's notorious for giving you that pop up but not actually stopping you from using the program

[novel yew]

its a program that lets you extract folders

[raw zinc]

oh ok

[novel yew]

well winrar is more notorious for that lmao

[raw zinc]

ok how do i unzip it

[novel yew]

right click

"unzip"

or "extract"

[native ice]

if it gives you a pop up you should just be able to close it iirc

[raw zinc]

cant see em

[novel yew]

should be first option when right-clicking a zipped folder iirc

[raw zinc]

the first one is open with winzip

[novel yew]

eh open?

nothing that says extract or unzip?

[raw zinc]

pop up

nothing

[native ice]

Open it and drag it's contents out onto your desktop

[raw zinc]

ok

how tf do i open it

[native ice]

open with winzip

[raw zinc]

it doesnt work

theres just a popup

[native ice]

Can you just double click it?

[raw zinc]

winzip popup

[native ice]

okay just fuckin uninstall it then

[raw zinc]

AHAHA

how

[native ice]

In the windows search bar, look for "Add or remove programs"

Then find winzip and uninstall it

[raw zinc]

FINALLY

IT WORKS

lmao

[native ice]

Winzip really does just hide the damn native windows unzipper

[raw zinc]

as i uninstalled it i got a popup saying "we care about you! so much so, we wanna give you a discount on winzip! 50% off for a month!

[native ice]

That's awful lmao

[novel yew]

LMFAO

[native ice]

Shameless companies

[raw zinc]

aight

[novel yew]

YEAH

[raw zinc]

tyty

[novel yew]

ah caps

i should start using shift for capital letters

its 3rd time in the day lol

[raw zinc]

lmao

YESSS GUN MOD

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED

[vivid quarry]

Hi

I got a little problem on the mod installation

My friend installed ModInstaller2 like me

He changed the beta also

But it doesn't work

He installed the Bonfire mod to test

But it doesn't show

(in game)

[abstract badger]

Did he get modding api

[native ice]

Well to start, you no longer need to be on the beta and using mi1/2

[vivid quarry]

The Mod API ?

[native ice]

you can use scarab now, although bonfire isn't on there yet

[vivid quarry]

I know

But I prefer to use Mi2 still for now

x)

[native ice]

Well in that case

[vivid quarry]

I think it's a path error

[native ice]

Do what hotspring said, check for the "Modding API" in the mod list

[vivid quarry]

But I'm not sure about that

[abstract badger]

He will need to install modding api for anything to work

[vivid quarry]

He got it

[raw zinc]

oh yeah how do i change to gun on hollow point

[native ice]

Make sure it doesn't say "Out of date"

[vivid quarry]

I made him install it

[vivid quarry]

Yep

[native ice]

Tap focus

[raw zinc]

ty

[native ice]

You can quickly check if it's a pathing error by pressing "Open Mods" in the bottom left of the installer, then going to your steam library > right clicking HK > properties > local files > browse, and making sure the two files that open have the same path

[vivid quarry]

Oh yes about that

Like

[native ice]

Although I don't think that'd be the problem, I think you need to do this: #archived-modding-help message

[raw zinc]

the gun aint doin damage

[vivid quarry]

Ah

I didn't have to delete anything tho

[native ice]

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

[vivid quarry]

And I made him follow the same thing as me

[raw zinc]

oh ok

[native ice]

Find hollow points readme

[wheat orchid]

You got to it before me 🐌

[vivid quarry]

Wait hold on I'll try something

[vivid quarry]

Heyy !!

I didn't want to annoy you in dm with my problem xD

[wheat orchid]

Hello

[vivid quarry]

Hru ?

[novel yew]

helou

[wheat orchid]

I’m good

[vivid quarry]

Nice :3

[native ice]

If you're saying it worked for you but not for them, I believe sometimes it just happens like such

[novel yew]

no you arent

[vivid quarry]

I'll try :3

I'm gonna come back and tell you if anything work

First I'm gonna check the path

I think this is the prob

x)

[native ice]

Mmk

[novel yew]

i've been lurking trough this

i havent been able to find what about the gun not doing dmg

[novel yew]

lol can mods give me a "COMPLETELY Blind" role?

[vivid quarry]

Ok so @native ice

He only has the Bonfire mod in the folder

[novel bronze]

Does Scarab update automatically? Also has it been updated within the last 3 or 4 months?

[native ice]

It's fine, you're not the first and you definitely won't be the last

[vivid quarry]

I think Modding API didn't work

[native ice]

The contents of the folder don't matter, the file pathing is what matters

[vivid quarry]

Same path

[native ice]

Then you're good

[vivid quarry]

A

xD

[magic wedge]

hey guys, I want to get into modding, and i know absolutely nothing about it, anyone mind to help? (PC, latest patch)

When will it fix?

[real jacinth]

Check pins. Use scarab

[pure mesa]

so i'm on the 4.3 32 bit beta and i'm using bechwarp, debug, randomizer 3 and enemy randomizer, but when I start a game how do I add randomized enemies? is it added auto?

[real jacinth]

You load enemy randomization at title screen

[pure mesa]

how

[real jacinth]

Button top left of main menu

[pure mesa]

kthanks

[native ice]

There's also a menu for changing settings in the options menu, if you want to do that

[magic wedge]

i downpatched and got modinstaller, tried to open it and it got this

[native ice]

1. Make sure Mod installer is on your desktop
2. Run mod installer as administrator
3. Make sure the game is closed while running mod installer

[novel bronze]

How do I open modded hk

i forgot

[native ice]

Just open HK

[novel bronze]

Ive done that before

How do I get to the options where I turn mods off and on

[native ice]

What do you mean??

Are you talking about the installer or mod menus?

[novel bronze]

I think the mod menu

[native ice]

In game > options > mods

[magic wedge]

you are the absolute best

[novel bronze]

nvm im stupid

I didnt see the mod thing in options

How do I get there there’s nothing in the mod section

[native ice]

Not all mods have mod menus, which mods do you have?

[novel bronze]

Idk, I’m trying to get to the thing where I install mods

[native ice]

The thing where you install mods

is scarab

[novel bronze]

Yes I have that downloaded

I was playing mods at one point and idk how I would open it, I haven’t done it in a while

I tried to load a custom skin on to my game and now my display looks like this even after switching back to default skin. What do I do?

[native ice]

Disable the AsciiCamera mod

[native ice]

Unzip the folder scarab came in, run the application inside it, choose what mods yuo want to install

[novel yew]

OMG

[novel bronze]

I mean. It worked, but why did it only shit on the quality after I switched skins?

[novel yew]

RIVER HAD A TYPO?!??!?!!?!?

[novel bronze]

you*

[novel yew]

cant believe it fr

[native ice]

yuoe'r

[novel bronze]

Sorry

[novel yew]

exactly

[novel bronze]

yuo

[novel yew]

so yuoe'r also had a typo

[native ice]

probably was from a hotkey or something

[novel bronze]

Why

[novel yew]

whyn't

[novel bronze]

XD

Now I have custom knight enabled, but can’t see it as an option in the in-game menu

Why is this so hard?! XD

[native ice]

Is this 1.5 or 1.4?

[novel bronze]

1.5

It was there before ascii camera messed with everything

And I was able to open the skins

[raw zinc]

how do i randomize shops on randomiser

[novel yew]

eh

[native ice]

The options > Mods > custom knight isn't there?

[novel bronze]

Correct

[native ice]

Have you looked through the settings?

[raw zinc]

yeah

[novel yew]

new file, more settings, randomized items? maybe

[native ice]

@novel bronze look at step 4 of patch 1.5

[coral jackal]

how do you use save states on debug mod (v1.4.2 for 1.2.2.1)

[novel bronze]

So what mods do I need to do the randomizer

[raw zinc]

not there

[native ice]

Set em to a keybind, and press em

[native ice]

Randomizer 4

[coral jackal]

where can you set them

[native ice]

It'll install the rest for you

[novel yew]

eh ok so when you create a new file

[native ice]

There should be a menu panel to bind em in the middle right of the screen

Press f1 if the menu isn't there

[coral jackal]

oh ight

within the menu

ty :)

[native ice]

And you can click on the button with the page number to switc hpages

[novel yew]

do you see smth like more settings option or smth like that at bottom left corner

[raw zinc]

oh its not in the extra settings

[native ice]

Actually, I think shops are randomized based on the contents of the shops

[raw zinc]

well i didnt see it

[native ice]

like if you randomize mask shards, slys mask shards will be randomized

[raw zinc]

ohh

okk

[novel bronze]

I don’t see that anywhere in any of my files

Y’all got jokes

SilkSong (but not really)

[novel yew]

no but what about ||** **||?

[native ice]

Not a joke

[novel bronze]

What’s it do

[native ice]

Replaces the knight with hornets sprites and animations

[novel bronze]

Oh that’s cool

[native ice]

and adds a little story to go with it

[novel bronze]

So with the benchwarp mod, do I also need BenchWarpFix?

[novel yew]

no

[native ice]

No

That's for a different problem, and it tends to break things

[novel bronze]

So when I run hollow knight, do I have to have scarab open or can I close it

[novel yew]

close

[native ice]

either

[novel bronze]

TYSM

[hallow relic]

Everytime I use benchwarp to go somewhere the camera breaks and sometimes when going into a load zone it freezes the game, anyone know the cause of this or how to fix it?

[barren sundial]

annyone knows why the ckc is giving me this problem?!

I did everything to load categorys, and then the ckc crashed and give me this error hahahahah

[novel yew]

what is even ckc lol

[raw zinc]

problem with randomizer

[novel yew]

what happens

[raw zinc]

when i go into a shop it is randomised

but it just says ??? and 0 geo

but it is items and it does cost geo

[novel yew]

what

do you have shops previews off?

[raw zinc]

probably

oops

[barren sundial]

me refiero al customer knight creator, Ismoil

[novel yew]

lmao

[raw zinc]

anyway i have dive claw and dash

and im in fungus area

so thats cool

[novel yew]

dont know about it

[novel yew]

cool

next time

remember to activate previews

[raw zinc]

lmao

[novel yew]

or else you will be buying random things

lmao

[barren sundial]

@sand tide maybe you know how to fix it?! Thanks!

[raw zinc]

uh

i d not see shop preview anywherere

[novel yew]

just activate all previews

[raw zinc]

ok

[full kelp]

so turns out hollow point and custom knight are incompatible due to hollow knight using a different sprite set

should have seen that coming

[native ice]

There's a workaround iirc

[full kelp]

?

[native ice]

I believe you just apply the skin you want, and then reload the game. It might be that you disable HP, apply a skin, re-enable HP

[full kelp]

i think i tried that

[native ice]

If that doesn't work, I think you can check your save files and make sure preload skins is off(?) for custom knight in the globalsettings files

[novel yew]

How to use G U N in hollow point

[native ice]

Tap focus to switch between gun and nail, swing to shoot. read the readme

[full kelp]

also make sure to exit to menu then go back into your save on first save creation

[novel yew]

Ik

But it foesnt shot

[full kelp]

exit and enter

[sand tide]

sorry for the late response! i don’t know this specific error message. have you tried clearing your preferences file?

[novel yew]

Exit and enter still doesnt shoot

[sacred current]

Will the mod installer work with version 1.4.2.4?

[novel yew]

Ye

[native ice]

No, buy the game

[novel yew]

Oh no

Only 1.4.3.2
