Enter an already existing save with hollow point installed and enabled
You shoot with the quick focus key iirc
read the readme
this is normal
yes
there's a readme for pretty much every mod
I read it yeah
It doesn't help me know why there aren't bullets coming out
Anyone know what to do about that?
Or do I need the vengeful spirit for bullets to come out???

Unless it's this? Try this
#archived-modding-help message
If that doesn't work, try mi2
ok
Mainly step 2 probably
Since you're already using the most recent version
. did you do this
I even made a Save file with hollow point disables and then I opened the game and enabled it
Yeah twice
the radient host one says that it needs the newest version
but im on that version
And?
Idk what's the issue
Can I stream for someone so they can see my issues?
Or smth idk how to show yall what's the issue
But it's not working for me And i just wanna do a hollow point run
Oh, are other people having issues with ModInstaller, too?
i am
This channel exists for the purpose of containing issues ;-;
ok
what do i do???
It sounds like mods
ok so
I was just about to ask for help with it, too, so I was asking before i did-
i used to have a mod installer

Hey I know that y'all are helping Ryan at the moment, but thanks! This helped me, too!
anyone know if the gun mod is on modinstaller 8.7.1
what's it called?
does custom knight already come with the large google drive of mods
not directly
hollow point
tysm
ok
You just install it. It doesn't work correctly on a new save, so you need to Save + Quit, then join the save again
hpbar mod
but I didn't find anything 😦

hey, does anybody know a fix for a softlock? every time I die i respawn at a bench and i'm stuck in the running animation, but I can't move, dash, jump, or get into the menu. also whenever I relaunch the save file and jump i just hover midair like i'm noclipping until I leave the room
I don't know how, but this is resolved. I uninstalled weaver core, which is the only really big thing I can think of that would have changed anything.
Hello, this is my first time modding hollow knight and I have a problem, at first, I install the first mod installer and change the version of the game to 1.4.3.2 then I installed the 3 randomizers and it was okay, but when I try to install the enemy randomizer and the enemy health bar my game didn't want to run.
I would like to know if is there a way to solve the problem.
question - I'm playing a randomizer and sly's shop has just gone back to normal, any clue why?
im on windows, which mod installer should i use?
1.4.3.2
use either modinstaller 1 or 2
what's the difference?
1 or 2 are pretty much the same
I reccomend updating to 1.5 and using scarab instead
Scarab only works on 1.5+?
Yes
ight ight gotcha
but lacks on enemy rando
havent modded in a while so i figured i had to downgrade
is it just me experiencing bugs with benchwarp? whenever i warp to a place that doesnt have a bench (kings pass, shade cloak, junk pit, etc) i get locked, and if i do go to a bench even if i hop off my camera sticks to it
install benchwarp fix
whenever i warp to a place that doesnt have a bench
how do i do this?
When i start up the game with scarab there is a black box on my screen
how can i get rid of this?
Uninstall modconsole
that doesnt solve the camera issue
and im already using benchwarp fix
¯_(ツ)_/¯
oh i just thought is was a menu to select stuff lol
how to use bingoboard mod?
Is there any way to disable Redwing's infinite soul?
I think Smol Knight is doing this. Debug Mod can be used to get out of softlocks.
For some reason i cannot interact with anything other than enemies and breakable walls (I'm trying to play a randomizer and i have all the required mods)
Have you tried reloading the game?
and when i interact with lore tablets i can no longer move or do anything
yes
i cannot even pause
also my healing doesnt work
uninstall and reinstall menu changer
scarab crashes whenever i install a mod why?
post the crash log here
is your game closed?
yea
Close File Explorer and try again
why would file explorer affect scarab?
yeah that
^
Or run Scarab as administrator
do post this tho
hello, I've modded hollow knight, when in game, whenever i enter one of the mod settings and then leave. the dark settings screen doesn't disappear but the menu does.
.
Oh
I know the issue
The game is placed in a admin only folder
Scarab can't write anything there
I ran it as admin and it works like a charm
ok, let me try. thank you
nice
Thanks everyone
I need help setting up custom knight creator
i still have the same problem
hi i wonder if i can get some help with custom knight?
uh when i open the modinstaller it tells me to get the latest version or something how do i change it and which one do i change it to
and if i change thte version will my old game file be deleted?
if you are still here, use scarab instead of modinstaller
Hey guys, i just installed scarab and a bunch of mods, inclusing custom knight. But the skins aren't in the start menu anymore, nd whenever i try to change them in the mod menu, they dont. The same skin I had before is still there, even after restarting the game. Anyone any tips?
when is hollow point planned to get a bug fix?
I have a little black area on my screen when i use the scarab mod installer how do i fix that
so unless I just beat AnyRad on my 2nd try
something isn't quite right
i mean, the text changed but
i REFUSE to believe i beat it 2nd try?
i have a question
how so i change the path to where i install mods with modinstaller2 ?
Do*
i mean changing the installation path
Well you should be able to do it when you install the installer
But you probably shouldn’t be using that installer anyway, scarab has basically every mod now so you should use that instead
I have installed Scarab on Arch Linux, but i can't start it properly.
Actually, it will start with a empty windows like this, and then crash.
i can not even find any log, can anyone help me?
Uninstall mod console
whats the easiest link to add custom skins to my game 🙂 I cant see anything in scarab
also Ive just managed to install some mods however when I start a game I can't seem to move:( none of the controls work. Sorry for all the questions, the moment I get this running I should be ok
how do i add scarab to hollow knight?

No DON’T put it there
I'm unable to install 'Vasi', which is needed for Rando3 in the ModInstaller
all other mods work
Is there a reason you are using modinstaller instead of scarab which has rando 4?
i personally didn't like rando 4, and i want to see if if rando 3 is better in terms of settings
Ok what exactly happens when you try to install vasi
it gives me an error message
ill send it here
"The process cannot access the file 'C:\tmp\HKmodinstaller/LICENSE' because it is being used by another process."
can i get some help with the custom knight mod every other mod works but it does not
Thanks so much
is there a mod to disable screenshake ?

how to install the scarab thing without bringing the computer to its knees
aka. screwing it up royally
help pls
yeah im having trouble with custom knight too
I can now load onto scarab but the mods i get dont actauly download onto the game
Have you checked the pins
Is your path correct and have you fully read through each of the pins?
Are you on controller?
Select the hollow knight folder not hollow knight data
i did its correct
and im using a controller on pc would that cause a problem?
What is happening with custom knight exactly?
You sure you checked the pins. Fix #4 section 1.5 #archived-modding-help message
i did otherwise other mods wouldnt work neither
all mods cause no problem except costume mod
Yeah this fixes the issue you describe
oh i was trying to change the costumes in game that was why sorry i took your time
thx
i'm having some trouble getting hollow point to work - i can use the gun but it seems like the modified charms aren't working

There is a way to do randomizer on switch?
Is there a reason that dash and S dash wouldn't be working in rando 4?
debug. and i am pretty sure arts mod is a shitpost mod
no you need to own the game on steam or gog
Ah ok
it dosen't really do anything it just makes the game less enjoyable
is there a way to show recent items on rando 4
yes, there's a mod you install called Recent Items Display
ty
Thanks!
Now this keeps happening
Where'd you buy the game from
And you're trying to use scarab?
Yes
then opt out of the 1.4.3.2 beta channel
So right click your game, properties, betas, and set beta to none
Ok
same i was wondering if anyone got it to work
Its working now thank you
the mods arent working for me
I have an issue with trying to download skins. Won't let me actually view the skins before I download them.
thats normal
google drive problemos
you have to google the skin names, download and see them, or look a showcase video on youtube
So, once I have the zip of the skin, do I open it?
you extract it
And after that?
open the game
Yeah I'm in the game
options>mods>customknight>open skins
move the skin folder there
then close the folder wich now shoul have another folder with the skin
enter a save file and try to use it
It seems my version of the mod installer has lost all function, as whenever I try to open it, nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
hey can anyone help me install the health bar mod?
can you describe it a bit more
When I double click on the mod installer, a window seems to open for less the half a second, then the window disappears and nothing happens

hello i need some help
whenever i load up my game with thr mod installret
the saves arent their
does anyone know how to fix this
are they saying "Loading..."
yes
.
thank you
can i just delete the "modinstaller error".logs
okay so i had this problem with custom night before but ive had enough already , when i open the mods folder it doesnt show
altough in the corner its RIGHT THERE
and also when i do equip it without using it , geo wont be picked up , it makes the noise but doesnt work
Section 1.5 fix #4 #archived-modding-help message
so i have to use the modinstaller right?
if you're on 1432, yes
don't know why you'd still be on 1432 tho, scarab has almost all mods on 1432 now
how can i update it to 1.5
go to steam
yes
well basically
but i cant update
it just say play
yes
ty mate
Debug isnt working :-:
yw
wdym?
whenever i enable it doesnt apear in game
wdym you enter to pause menu in game and theres nothin
Whenever i pause the game or press f1 nothing happens
and it doesnt apear in the mods settings
does it appear in top left corner of main menu screen
so are you in 1.4
yes
can you use modinstaller with xbox gamepass?
no
damn
not exactly, some ppl say you can but no one has actually achieved it afaik
not sure if this is the right channel to ask but is there a mod for like,,,MP where you and your pals share the same enemy hits? like if ur doing a boss together it’s the same boss and u both deal dmg to it… I’d assume if u were gonna do this it’d have to be in a private server
there isnt a mod for that but if you hit the other boss you still damage it
i think they are doing a mod for that
yah would be fun to run through the whole game w/ a pal and not have to do bosses separately
aha
tru co-op 💅🏼✨
and im guessin scarab works exactly the same as modinstaller right?
just to install the mods and enable them
?
pretty much
cool cool
my computer doest let me download scarab
whenever i try to run scarab it just says Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
more info>run any way
and doesnt let me run it
is there no fix?
click more info
whenever i load into a randomizer run, i cant open my menu, and if i interract with an npc my game freezes. if i enter rooms enemies wont notice me and i get softlocked really easily, heres all my mods enabled rn (plus sachel, my screen isnt large enough to get all the mods in one ss)
is there enemy rando on scarab?
no
oh ok thx
it's one of the few mods that's still stuck on 1432
aw
im sure they're working on it thought
How do I update scarab
are you getting the "modinstaller requires the most stable version" thing
No
I@ trying to fix my randomizer, it keeps giving me error messages when I try to start one
I worst case scenario you can just redownload the newest version right
I’ve tried
I’ve redownloaded, uninstalled mods then re did that

This is like the third time you've posted this, and the last 2:times you were told to clear your global settings files, did you?
How do I do that, where is that
Hey
HM
Alguien sabe como arreglar esto?
Anyone know ?
how to fix it?
i just try to add a skin with the modmanager
then y try to open the game and this happen
Are you on windows?
ModLog
"ModLog.txt" can be found in the same folder as your save files:
Windows: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
......................................................
To easily get ModLog on Windows:
- Press
⊞+R- Copy and paste this into it
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knightand hit "OK"ModLog.txtis in this folder.Note:
⊞is the Windows button, in betweenCtrlandAlton your keyboard
It says modlog but its the same for globalsettings
Go there, make sure your game is closed, delete the randomizer.globalsetting.json (and .bak)
whenever i launch hollow knight with mods all my saves dissapear and i cant start a new one or anything
it looks like this
is the press g to dab mod on scarab i cant find it tho its in the read me
The message just above yours is the same fix, just delete the debug/benchwarp/modding Api files
you are using the wrong modinstaller
So I switched to Scarab and after a month of it not working it just fixes by itself.
But I have a question I noticed that Custom Knight changed a bit. So know I want to know how to swap skins
Load into a save > pause the game > options > mods > custom knight > select skin > apply skin
Not sure what you mean by "readme" as that doesn't really say anything, but no it's not on scarab
thanks

Can you describe it then?
You're just using Scarab right?
have you downpatched?
ye
Not mod installer 1 or 2 either?
i have mod installer 2
Did you run it?
...
yes once
Cause there's a reason Scarab and mod installer 2 are separate and have different mods
It's because mod installer 2 is for an earlier game patch
oh ok so i should uninstall it then right?
Open scarab and install a mod
i have
You don't have to, just don't open it
Do it again, to undo opening mod installer 2
thanks
Uh....
You downpatch and get it on 1.4.3.2 and you don't on 1.5
There is
it's just broken
I need help when i try install the mod installer it says that i need to update my game to the current patch even thought that is what it is at
downpatch to 1432
or use scarab
it says that if you use modinstaller while on 1578
how do i down patch. sorry im very new to this stuff
thank you for the help

wait i think i figured it out
some times i just need to do things instead of asking questions lol
Open the file in finder, Show Package contents, then click the “run” file, it should run through terminal
options->mods
oooh ok
Options, mods, customknight, open skins folder
Add the whole file
sorry if i sound dumb, but what’s the mod link
i added what it was but it isn't working
did you unzip it
I'm having it where my focus is happening really quick and consuming a tiny amount of soul, but I don't think any of my mods would be responsible? I'm in steel soul also if that matters
i thought so but maybe not
ok i hadnt

Okay thanks. Yeah I had it where i disabled hollow point and it still showed up. thanks Mickely!

then, do a bit of searching, select and download "Randomizer 4"

all of this extra stuff should download automatically as well
make sure you download vasi as well as its required for a lot of stuff
does anyone here have experience launching hollow knight on linux from humble store?
or even any experience using hollow knight on linux at all?
@novel bronze okay so i got scarab, selected the mods I'm getting, but when i ran hk its still just vanilla, any further steps?
open up a new save file
yeap still vanilla
not seeing the rando save option like from skurry's flower quest stream
@novel bronze are there any other steps past scarab?
or should it work the same as gradow's for 1.4.3.2
thing is I'm not getting my other mods either
it just shows up as vanilla hk
- Are you updated to Current Patch (1.5.78)?
- In Scarab, you may need to select "Change Path", and re-select your Hollow Knight installation folder.
I’m trying to install modinstaller and hollow knight doesn’t show up even when I use the pathing to where it is located in file explorer
alright got it solved, apparently the path I set was incorrect, thanks @novel bronze as well for the help!
Yeah ofc
- Where do you have HK from?
- Which installer are you using?
I’m using pc game pass
The Gamepass version is on 1432.
Other than that, I'm not sure where the installation folder is by default. It only recently was able to be modded, due to an update on Microsoft store
Yes, you need to point the installer to wherever the physical installation of the game is, which should have the main hollow_knight.exe file, and the "Hollow_Knight_Data" folder
I have a problem. This appeared while Hollow Knight crashed when I tried running it.
Are you installing mods while the game is running?
Mhm
Which means I can't install mods.
Apparently so.
With the other 3 things inside
Whoops. I did take out the exe and put it on the Desktop so it'd be easier to access. Where is the original folder?
You can create a Shortcut
Yeah that
Close Scarab and HK
When it's done, move the entire Scarab folder (possibly still named "windows" if you didn't rename it) out of your downloads folder
then right click Scarab.exe in it, and run as Admin
Once it's open, it will have you re-verify your game install path
When that's done, click the "Change Paths" button, and double check that it is looking at the correct folder.
It should be a folder that has a "hollow knight data" folder inside of it
Yeah, I'll see if it works, thanks.
It worked. Thank you.
Any reason why screenshots won't save? They're nowhere to be seen in the screenshots folder.
Do you mean your Steam Screenshots folder?
Those should save just fine
you may want to make sure you're looking at the correct folder for them though. A lot of people accidentally find Steam Screenshot folders for a specific game, or session, because it is really weird about screenshots and saves a bunch of different versions of them
i need help...How do i install the multiplayer mod in Scarab?
^
thanks
i instaled the mod And it don't show up
Very vague
HMMM I instaled the mod on scara Mods is in file but when i use option mod Then nothing will show
What mod? There's no mods list in the top left?
And in-game, if you look in the top left corner, is there a list of mod names?
YEP
So it's just custom knight not showing up in options > mods?
Yep
If you used Custom Knight in 1432 and upgraded to Scarab, or you're experiencing the mods menu missing, or you cannot pick up geo, then you'll need to delete customknight.globalsettings.json
This .bat will clear customknight.globalsettings.json automatically (along with other commonly messed up global settings files):

I was too late Yesterday so I decided to post about it today but have any of you experienced crash on startup on the latest api version?
I've downgraded to the previous version so it works fine right now but every time I run Mod Installer it updates it so i have to copy paste files again
Why are you using mod installer instead of scarab?
how do i fix may game if thk is infis im jusing cd
cd?
jes
What is "cd"?
hollow knigt spesel edison pc
Ohh
recently new to modding HK and that's the first time i hear of scarab but the crashing isn't caused by the mod installer as when i download latest api and install it manually it crashes anyway
how do i fix
Do you have any mods?
no
Then the only thing you can do is restart your game/pc a few times until it works
that i tryd 100 tims
Where did you get the game?
Steam
Then unfortunately there's no other fix
Scarab is the mod installer for the games current patch (1.5), mod installer 1/2 are for an older patch (1.4.3.2). I'm not really sure what exactly is happening but it sounds like you're getting the wrong api for your game version, although it might be unrelated
I went to github and simply downloaded the latest one didn't work so i tried the version before
I'll try with Scarab maybe it'll work
how doe i get mods
?
on cd pc
Just to clarify, getting mods won't help with your issue, but they can be a cause for your issue. But if yuo want to get mods anyways, I think it should just be the same as normal
how doe i get mods
?
on cd pc

If you launch the game, what game version does it say in the lower left, cause a lot of what you're saying isn't really lining up with how I'd expect them too
Okay, that's current patch. So you should be using scarab
Running mod installer 1 or 2 won't work, and would make it crash. Not sure why downloading the latest api release off github wouldn't work tho
wats a hollow knight instalason folder
yeah when i try the latest version of api it just return a generic unity crash window
I don't know for the CD version of the game
Can you send a link of which one you're downloading?
I'll need to find it a s i messed with it yesterday
That's the one I'm running currently
and that's the one that is latest but it crashes for me https://github.com/hk-modding/api/releases/tag/1.5.78.11833-68
followed the instructions to a t
right into the managed folder
mods into the mods forlder
works fine on the older version but latest crashes so it's not the end of the world
but weird anyway
And does using Scarab cause the same issue?
scarab has the "Toggle API" and "Update API" buttons greyed out
Ah, that happens. Just install a mod with it and it'll do the same thing
it does't see mods that i have installed either so should i install something i already have or something new
i don't want to accidentally break what already works
uh ok
it seems like i messed up big time previously
cause the mods didnt work when i read somewhere to just dump them into the mods folder
i assumed DLLs
Ah
On 1.5 they have to be in sub folders inside the mods folder
and now i see scarab mada a folder for the new mod
Making a folder and naming it enabled and putting em in would work tho lmao
they worked in enabled but that might be why scarab doesnt see them
Maybe, but scarab might just not see em cause you manually installed em
update api still greyed out btw
Yea, idrk how to fix that. Atleast I can't remember how
Basically just use steams verify integrity feature to remove the api and install a mod to readd the api
eh it works for now might cause issues with future more important updates but that's a problem for the future me
I'm gonna install the mods I already have through Scarab and delete the old files
gonna cause any issues?
thanks for the help mate, take care
You too
how do i disable scarab?
Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
ty
Hey guys, I used to be able to change skins in the start menu, but since ive switched to scarab I can't anymore. Anyone know how to enable that again?
Pause > options > mods > custom knight >Select skin > apply skin
Oke so it takes a pretty long time for the game to open, but i assume you know what you are talking about, so preemptively: thank you dude!
I'm assuming you're talking about the little menu in the upper left of the pause menu that used to be on 1.4? If so then yea, it got moved to the mods menu
I am talking about that. Is it just not there anymore? Or do the steps from your previous comment bring it back?
It's not there anymore
Why :(
Ah, I can't remember the exact reason
Well it is what it is. Thank you still for your time
Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
hey i just installed scarab for linux and everything seemed to work i can launch the game and the mods are loaded. The only problem is that my controller isnt recognized anymore
what mods did you install? the problem might even be related to something that aren't the mods
i installed custom knight benchwarp and benchwarp-fix
Well uninstall benchwarp fix, it won't fix your problem (most likely) but it isn't required and it's prone to breaking stuff
weird, that didn't happen to me
have you tried getting rid of both the mods and the api? i think scarab lets you get rid of all the related files
that'll help to check if you didn't mess up ur steam input or smth
Linux and mac are pretty prone to controller issues with mods
Try unplugging your controller and then launching the game, and plugging it back in on the main menu
okay will try that
hmm? is there a reason to this
never encountered an issue on scarab
well plugging it back in didnt work
and uninstalling benchwarpfix didnt work either
For a while it was because mod installer (not scarab) installed the windows api regardless of version. Not really sure why now, it just kinda does
It was unplugged while you were launching the game and plugged in when you reached the title screen?
yup
Then the only other way I know is to use another program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs
Which should be a surefire way to fix it, not really sure what programs to use on linux. I know joytokey/joy2key work for mac and windows, but not sure if they also work on linux
well that would make a lot of things easier (not just for hollow knight)
thx for the help
if the issue ever comes up again a good tool for linux is antimicrox
I shall definitely remember that, and by remember I mean forget and desperately search for key words till I find this message. So thanks
idk why but when i enable custom knight the uwu mod is on even tho i dont have it installed
Did you equip the swapperdemo skin?

hey im sorry for asking but could someone help me with the custum knight mod?
With what about it?
well i draged the files into the costum mod folder but when i open hollow knight and click on the change skin thingy it doesnt work
it just keeps being the default skin
Did you apply the skin in the menu or in a save file?
in the save file
Have you made sure your file structure is correct it shoul be managed/mods/custom knight/skins/(skin name/art assets. It is sometime structures with extra folders
I think ik the issue
Name any png files that are thibgs like HUD.png of hud.png
To Hud.png
Just an example
Mainly tho
Knight.png and Hud.png
Why it is supposed to be HUD.png
its right untill the skin section
It happened to me b4
when i click "custum knight"
Hotspring know way way more than Me tho
it shows the folders containing the skins i wanted to add and a file that says default
uhh yeah ofc theres 2 should i send one of both?
Wait so the skins aren’t in the skins folder?
there is no skin folder
What patch are you on?
I was rught
Yeah it has extra folders
Re name HUD to Hud
This also has extra folders
It should be custom knight/redwing/art assets. Not custom knight redwing custom knight
This should be custom knight/Grimm knight/art assets. Not Grimm knight#######/grimm knight art assets.
wait so when im in this tab
should i click on grimm knight?
then its like this
then this
No it should take you directly to art assets
so should i delete that folder and just fill in that tab with the art ?
You need to move that last folder out of the first and put it in the custom knight folder
okayy thank you!!
it works now!
owh if i may ask one more thing, is there a mod to light up darker rooms?
Could one drive be screwing with it?
Not really you can give your self lantern through debug and in debug you can also hit reset settings in the binds menu to make everything bright but you have to hit it every room you enter. Maybe use a hot key.
owhh so i need to install the debug mod?
i need help to fing modinstaller 2 for mac
heres mac i think 🙂
thx
np!
oh yay it doesnt work-
owh sorry :/
damn
does the installing part not work?
no internet blocks it
owhhh
should i use scarab or modinstaller 2 atm if i wanna play mods ?
hmm it might be the virus scanner? i dont really know alot regarding that sorry😅
no
i know why
since its a discord attachment it doesnt work
if it were just like the installer it would work
my internet blocks web discord
ok
watch out before just downloading one tho
Scarab the only reason for modinstaller is enemy rando
okok
hah nice
How do I turn off Royal dreamer mod its not installed neither enabled but it works
I'm using Modinstaller 2
I found file named "GodlyNightmares.dll" on my Mods path not sure if it's this one or not
scarab works for 1.4.3.2 ?
no
so i go back to the latest version ? no need for the downpatch ?
for 1.4.3.2 you use Modinstaller 1 or 2 and for 1.5.x.x+ you use Scarab
Scarab have almost everything now but I still use 1.4.3.2 since I'm lazy to update stuff
Does Weaver Core have the option to copy an in game enemy's code and use it as a template?
Did HK1221 have the mod which could calculate damage by Geo Number,I thought I need it

Thank you to everyone who answered my doubts
Which mod would let me change my charm inventory, and if anybody knows exactly what I have to do to my save files to get an unbreakable strength, having already thoughtlessly banished the Grimm troupe with my fragile strength given away, please help
