Hi there, I'm using the Randomiser 3 mod and for some reason I'm 2 different issues, the first one is that no matter what I always spawn with both Mantis Claws. and the other is whenever I down slash with the nail I don't pogo off of it, any help/fixes?

#

I'm using Mod Installer 2 if that makes a difference

open blaze
#

have you tried scarb lodader?

novel bronze
#

What dat?

#

Sorry, I know nothing on modding and am new to it

toxic copper
#

how to find the modlog.txt file?

untold talon
#

the scarab modinstaller is crashing every time i try to install transtrans, I'm very confused

#

I didn't have the same problem for any other mod

#

anyone have any ideas, or a copy of the transtraans modfiles so i can just paste them in?

open blaze
#

What verion of hk do i need to use to run the modloaders?

untold talon
#

which loader?

open blaze
#

ive tried both ml2 and scarab.. either the game crashes or the game loads with no mods

untold talon
#

huh

#

scarab should run fine on 1.5+

#

iirc ML and ML2 are up to 1.4.3.2?

open blaze
#

1,5 is the recent verion of hk?

untold talon
#

yea

spring furnace
#

so if i want to install randomizer 4 it says that it doesnt run on the beta 1.4.3. does modding work on 1.5 now or do i have to manually do that?

open blaze
#

huh. since i couldnt get scarab to work the first time i downgraded back to 1.4 and ml2 didnt work

untold talon
#

which modloader?

what does change path do

It changes the the path scarab installs mods through. Don’t mess with it probably won’t mess much up if you do as long as you change path back to the correct though

It looks like you tried manually install a mod, that isn't a mod

#

What are you trying to do?

wanton dust
#

I just installed bench warp, mod console and mod common

#

Idk why it's saying that

pliant lantern
#

Are you using mod installer?

wanton dust
#

Yep

#

I died and got warped to the dream realm for some reason

pliant lantern
#

Yeah, Easy Mode does that zote

wanton dust
#

So it installed another mod?

pliant lantern
#

No

#

Easy mode warps you to the dream realm when you die

#

It's a bug in that version

wanton dust
#

So if I get rid of easy mode it won't bug out

#

Appreciated

pliant lantern
#

Also, fwiw you don't want Mod Console

That's for devs to see extra logging info. It's not a console that you can use.

hey guys greetings from germany

#

its the first time I modded hollow knight and isntalled the modinstaller 2

#

I checked the mods in the installer but dont seem to see much of them in the game
Do I need to access a mod menu or something?

muted yarrow
#

Depends on the game patch ur now, but if ur in the latest instead of modinstaller 2 maybe u should use Scarab

#

It goes pretty well, its the one I'm using rn

lunar shore
#

Uh, for some reason my Item Changer mod keeps failing. When I am starting a new save, it forcibly stops loading, and gives me a description similar to this: Failed to call constructor, check ModLog.txt. Can I have some help?

crystal sorrel
#

Hey I need help. I'm trying use mod installer but it doesn't open.

#

When I click it nothing happens.

lunar shore
#

which mod installer?

#

You need to use scarab for the latest patch

crystal sorrel
#

I'm not sure. It's my first time getting it.

#

Scarab?

lunar shore
#

yeah. click the pinned messages, then search scarab

#

actually, it may be the first one

crystal sorrel
#

September?

lunar shore
#

should be yeah

blissful moss
#

why does the scarab crash mid-dowload

lunar shore
#

I don't know. do you have hollow knight open?

blissful moss
#

i do ot

crystal sorrel
#

Scarab isn't opening either

lunar shore
#

you have to extract the files

crystal sorrel
#

i did

muted yarrow
lunar shore
#

okay, did you make sure to click on the .exe?

blissful moss
#

for me it opens, when installing a mod

crystal sorrel
#

yes

lunar shore
#

okay. kinda weird

muted yarrow
#

Try to open it as admin

#

Maybe is some weird thing with permissions or something

lunar shore
#

maybe that, or you possible downloaded the wrong one for your computer

i have windows i downloaded the windows one

I'm actually having an issue myself. whenever I try to create a randomizer, it automatically aborts and it says: "failed to call constructer. Check ModLog.txt

crystal sorrel
#

nothing still happens

lunar shore
#

it's my item changer mod, specifically

muted yarrow
#

Well, that is a more programming oriented one Maddox, but basically its what it said

Whenever I open scarab or mod installer it just freezes the entire folder.

Ah I speak spanish don't worry bud

#

HAHA

But maybe is not something with the mod and only is a weird error on the files, try to uninstall and install it again @limpid cargo

muted yarrow
crystal sorrel
#

A folder I put it in when I extracted it.

muted yarrow
#

Ah, you don't need to move the folder anywhere tho

crystal sorrel
#

I don't think so?

limpid cargo
muted yarrow
#

Just download, uncompress it, and It'll detect the path of Hollow knight

#

Automatically

#

If not, u can set a path manually

crystal sorrel
#

But I'm just trying to open it so I can mod

#

I'm new to this.

muted yarrow
#

Yh so, what scarab does if you have steam, at least on my experience, Idk about GOG, is that it detects the route of installation of Hollow knight

blissful moss
muted yarrow
#

Bc is a common route in Steam games

#

So, you don't need to move the folder anywhere

crystal sorrel
#

I didn't move the folder anywhere.

#

I just extracted from the zip

muted yarrow
#

So the path is freezing is the one that you have the folder?

#

That's weird

crystal sorrel
#

I just extracted it and now it's just in a folder in documents and I'm trying to open it from there.

#

And it just freezes.

hi its me again

#

1.5 with scarab didnt seem to work for me at all so im back at 1.4.3 with mod installer 1

activating and enabling doesnt seem to do much to the game. Under options/monds I still cant see anything. I think a have a overall missconception of how the mods work and are being activated

you have a mods menu under options?

gritty perch

yeah

but its empt

nevermind. It showed up somehow. Just took some time I guess

Is there any way to re-assign what files the modinstaller2 mods go to? i had a copy of the hollowknight data folder after trying to manually doownload files, and it isnt attatched to the game, so when i install mods it doesnt work.

novel yew
#

hello

#

can you please tell me a bit more about the problem?

#

game version and where you bought it from if you can

#

ok so you can download it via modinstaller2

#

some vids are like that

#

well then enter the game and open a file like normal

#

pause the menu andd you should see something at the top right of the screen

#

and you know what to do next?

#

ok so tell me when you see that in the menu

#

no

#

do you see "hkmp"?

#

thats weird

#

also this isnt necesary or anything but any reason for being in 1.4.3.2? just curious

tribal token
#

why when i open modinstaller there are no mods to install

novel yew
#

eh you dont need to

#

theres one installer for 1.5 wich has almost all old mods

#

ok if you wanna stay in this version

#

most mod vids are outdated sadly

#

ok upgrading is usually easy and takes no more than a minute

#

yes

#

in scarab you can see hkmp inside the program too

half bough
#

Can you use skins at all if you play ItemSync?

novel yew
#

yes

#

uninstalling modinstaller 2 should be enough

half bough
#

How do you get them to show up? Do you just use Custom Knight or do you have to use HKMP alongside it?

novel yew
#

to show in your screen only CustomKnight, to show in the others screen use HKMP

half bough
#

Ah, okie dokie.

novel yew
#

if you need the guide just tell me, im glad to help PFPGreenHappy

half bough
#

I've seen the guide for HKMP, but is there one for ItemSync and stuff?

novel yew
#

no

half bough
#

As far as I can tell, you just connect and put a room name.

novel yew
#

yes

#

i think there IS a guide for itemsync but its just doing 3 things

#

that you already know of

half bough
#

Does using both HKMP and ItemSync do anything I should be aware of, or does it just work perfectly fine?

novel yew
#

it works fine

#

they are usually always used together

half bough
#

And just to be certain, I don't need to change the URL, right? Just use the default?

novel yew
#

yea use default

#

it works perfectly

half bough
#

Alrighty. Thank you!

Hi again, at first I thought I solved my issue, but as it turns out, I didn't.

Just to rephrase, Hollow Knight has been randomly experiencing crashes ever since I downloaded Scarab and using mods. My patch info is above the message I'm replying to.

viral beacon
#

wait so im trying to install Hollowpoint but uh.... i dont think it wants to install, ill come back if it starts having issues

#

but also how do i enable the mods? do i just put the files into the game files?

novel yew
#

hello

viral beacon
#

hellko

novel yew
#

can you tell me a bit more?

#

Game version, how are you trying to install mods and where you bought the game from would be good

viral beacon
#

#

and the version is (if your talking about the mod gui thing) is modinstall 2

novel yew
#

ok and you are in the latest patch of the game?

viral beacon
#

im just pressing the check box for "is installed?"

novel yew
#

latest version

viral beacon
#

yes

novel yew
#

viral beacon
#

modinstaller2 is for a older version of the game

viral beacon
#

viral beacon
#

#

thx

novel yew
#

yw

willow girder
#

devout geode
#

Scarab supports latest patch

novel yew
#

yeah scarab is for latest patch

willow girder
#

Ok, thank you

viral beacon
#

#

oh wait i need a dll

#

where do i put the dll?

novel yew
#

eh no

viral beacon
#

oop

novel yew
#

did you got the scarab app out of the folder with the other 3 things?

viral beacon
#

its starting

#

uhhh

#

i got 3 things

#

windows.zip

#

scarab.1.9.0.0.zip

#

and scarab.1.9.0.0.tar.gz

novel yew
#

eh? just extract the windows.zip and leave the folder with the 4 things inside in your desktop

#

then open scarab (inside the extracted folder)

viral beacon
#

ok

willow girder
#

I remember using a mod to play against bosses in hall of gods in ascend, but only taking 1 damage, combined with all bindings. I'm using toggeable bindings, any way to achieve this?

devout geode
#

Why not just combine toggleable bindings w going on radiant

novel yew
#

no he means ascended did normal dmg instead of double

#

but for that you can just play attuned

devout geode
#

Oh

viral beacon
#

thx for the help :D

willow girder
#

but the problem is i'm trying to practice some bosses all bindings for p5, and would not work for bosses like collector, markoth, etc

novel yew
#

Your welcome!

novel yew
willow girder
#

Collector in attuned summons lower level enemies. Markoth has floor, etc.

novel yew
#

ah

devout geode
#

Do you remember what the og mod you used was called?

willow girder
#

I'm thinking it was probably the bInding mods, but that one is not on scarab, so might not work with latest patch

devout geode
#

Ah

novel yew
#

bundings mod is on scarab tho

devout geode
#

No only toggleable is

#

There's a diff one that isn't on scarab

novel yew
#

oh

willow girder
#

yeah, that's probably it. Thanks for the help anyways!

#

appreciate it

viral beacon
#

problem

devout geode
viral beacon
#

it isnt working...

novel yew
#

mmm

viral beacon
#

how do i enable the mods?

novel yew
#

the same as modinst2, clicking "installed?" box

viral beacon
#

ye

#

im assuming what it does is install the mods yes?

novel yew
#

yes

viral beacon
#

ok

devout geode
#

For everyone else who uses Scarab, y'all never had to deal with crashes? 🤔

viral beacon
#

so how do i enable the mods tho?

novel yew
#

just click installed and then open the game

viral beacon
#

ok

real jacinth
#

when the mod finishes downloading, the enabled? box will check automatically

viral beacon
#

thx

#

mods work now

novel yew
#

yw

real jacinth
viral beacon
#

oh god

devout geode
#

Drug crash 😳

viral beacon
#

popups everywhere

devout geode
#

Nah nah a unity crash

#

i think

real jacinth
#

you think?

#

is it, or isn't it

devout geode
real jacinth
#

where'd you buy the game from

devout geode
#

Steam

#

It's a legit copy

real jacinth
#

then why is it showing this

viral beacon
#

how do i make the option things for the mods go away ;_;

real jacinth
#

go to steam then, right click your game-> properties-> local files -> verify integrity

#

once that's done, open your game and screenshot your title screen

viral beacon
#

oop nvm

#

found the button

novel yew
#

ok

devout geode
#

Wait were u talking to me or Karp

real jacinth
#

you

devout geode
#

Nice

viral beacon
#

i have this black square next to my thing and its blocking like half my screen of button pressing

real jacinth
#

how descriptive

novel yew
#

can you please tell us a bit more

#

or even a pic if you are able to

devout geode
#

Here's the result of the verification

unknown.png
real jacinth
#

cool. now run the game. and screenshot your title screen

#

after the files are finished being reacquired of course

devout geode
#

Well the mods stuff is gone

unknown.png
real jacinth
#

Yes. That's what verifying does

devout geode
#

Good to know

real jacinth
#

So then close your game, open scarab, and install any mod

vast aurora
#

Hey uh

#

When i installed scarab

#

Lol it uh Crashed my Hollow knight

#

but i had the previous mod installer

#

so like whats up with it tho

novel yew
#

you have latest varsion?

vast aurora
#

yeah

real jacinth
#

So you didn't install anything with scarab?

vast aurora
#

no i did install with scarab

real jacinth
#

What did you install

#

And you changed your game patch back to "none"

#

??

vast aurora
#

Uhhh Easymode Additional Maps

real jacinth
#

In steam

vast aurora
#

No i didnt

#

I left it on 32 bit

novel yew
#

gpo do that

real jacinth
#

So you didn't go to current patch then

#

Scarab only works on current patch

vast aurora
#

Oh i didnt know that

real jacinth
#

So yeah, if you didn't do that, game no work

vast aurora
#

i thought it wwas thhe 32 bit

real jacinth
#

No. That's 1432

#

Which is not 1.5

vast aurora
#

Yeah my bad thanks dude

viral beacon
#

black box aka debug thing yknow kinda like tf2 debug menu but i think ik how to disable

vast aurora
#

Also

#

is the Silk song mod

novel yew
vast aurora
#

Like

real jacinth
#

Did you install modconsole

viral beacon
#

not that

vast aurora
#

Do you just have hornet skin

#

Or no

novel yew
#

yeah

#

just hornet skin and some charms are

viral beacon
#

but also fun fact

#

if you bench warp to black egg without beating grimm

novel yew
#

replaced

vast aurora
#

Do you have Silk instead of soul

viral beacon
#

you will get the achievement for beating grimm for no reason

novel yew
#

godseeker files dont give achievements until you sit on a bench from outside iirc

viral beacon
#

im on a reg file

#

also i haave a magical 12th notch

#

h o w

vast aurora
real jacinth
#

no

novel yew
#

no thats for karp

real jacinth
#

not unless you're writing a mod

vast aurora
#

My friend just booted up his hollowknight and the mods didnt even pop up why

real jacinth
#

dunno

#

dunno what they've done

#

is the answer.... because they're on switch?

devout geode
vast aurora
#

Same for me

#

Im on Pc and uh

#

I installed the mods

#

and im on none

#

and the mods arent popping up

#

Do i have to reinstall them?

real jacinth
#

did you go back to 1.5 yet

vast aurora
#

yeah

#

Im on none

real jacinth
#

have you installed anything with scarab yet

vast aurora
#

yes

real jacinth
#

after that finished

vast aurora
#

before i was on none

real jacinth
#

not before

vast aurora
#

Oh then no

real jacinth
#

so do that

#

changing patches makes the game vanilla

#

cuz.... y'know... you just downloaded the files from steam

devout geode
#

Mm, the same unitycrashhandler window opened up and my game promptly closed. The crashes weren't resolved. I appreciate the help but now I'm not sure what to do from here 🙁

real jacinth
#

when are they happening

devout geode
#

They happen during gameplay, and for me specifically I'm doing Pantheon All Bindings runs—and they frustratingly happen both in Godhome and in the pantheons themselves

#

Even the title screen isn't safe, if I linger too long it just crashes

real jacinth
#

at specific times?

#

when changing menus?

#

changing rooms?

#

or just sitting there

devout geode
#

From my experience it can be me sitting there, or me in the middle of an action

real jacinth
#

does it happen when you have no mods at all?

devout geode
#

So practically whenever

#

I've tried disabling toggleable bindings mod as per someone else's instructions once, but not all of them. I'll do that.

#

You think I should get rid of the API too?

unknown.png
real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

you could verify your game files again

#

if you're crashing with no mods, then you have other issues

#

like game files being corrupted

#

or something else

devout geode
#

I'll verify my game files then

#

Done, let's see if stuff happens now

novel bronze
#

wrong channel

eager sapphire
#

where do i need to go in the hollow knight files to find and backup my saves

novel bronze
#

?saves

dense shuttleBOT

@real jacinth (sorry for the ping) So I've just been idling at the title screen for 10 minutes. (Before, idling seemed to have greatly increase the chances of a crash for whatever reason)

#

And thankfully no crashes! 😅

#

Must be a problem with Scarab on my end, I assume?

real jacinth
#

scarab doesn't directly do anything. it just moves files around

devout geode
#

Oh
Oh no
What tragic timing.
The game crashed seconds after I sent my last message.

real jacinth
#

so if you have version 1.9 of scarab, and none of the mods in it say "out of date"

devout geode
#

Ohhhhh dear......

real jacinth
#

hahahaha

#

so it's not mods then

devout geode
#

But like idk what could've happened to my game ;-;

#

Genuinely I'm trying to be helpful here but

#

Idk what coulda happened

real jacinth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

things happen

#

just uninstall the game and reinstall

#

that'll fix any corrupt files

#

if it still happens after that, then it's probably something else

devout geode
#

I've never uninstalled a steam game before, so should I back up my saves?

real jacinth
#

citrix workspace is known to cause issues with unity games as well

#

so if you have that, uninstall it

#

probably a good idea to backup saves just in case

devout geode
#

Alright

#

Also where would I check whether or not I have Citrix Workspace on my PC?

real jacinth
#

check under programs

#

just type "programs" after you click start, then open the "add or remove programs" page

#

if you have it, it'll be listed there

eager sapphire
#

ok im at the location where the saves are supposed to be

#

but i just dont see them

#

what exactly am i looking for?

real jacinth
#

userX.dat files

#

X=save slot

devout geode
#

dont have it

unknown.png
#

I'll back up my saves now then

eager sapphire
#

cool, thanks for the help!

devout geode
#

I'll just copy my entire TeamCherry » Hollow Knight folder somewhere else in my PC, but I noticed there's a lot of .json and .bak files here that pertain to certain HK mods I've used previously 🤔
Would those affect the game somehow? Even if HK currently appears completely unmodded when I boot it up?

#

doesn't really matter in my current problem I'm just curious

real jacinth
#

no

#

those are mod settings files

#

they won't get called for if you have no active mods

devout geode
#

Got it

empty turtle
#

how do i turn this off lmao :(( im using scarab and none of my enabled mods should cause it

unknown.png
novel yew
empty turtle
#

i figured but it isnt installed

novel yew
#

empty turtle
#

#

mmm...

devout geode
#

devout ruin

#

devout ruin
#

yea

novel yew
#

dense shuttleBOT
devout ruin

devout geode
#

you can make it faster with charms

Idk the HUD just looks super weird

#

And there's 9999999

#

On it

real jacinth
