What is the latest version that has enemy rando?

real jacinth
#

1.4.3.2

timid oar
#

I got the randomizer4 mod working today without much trouble and I just wanted to say thank you to folks developing/supporting these; I've really really enjoyed playing around with it so far!

gray mural
#

the HKMP website has 2 servers already there, how does it work?

#

it says there's one with pvp enabled and the other is "co-op" where its disabled

real jacinth
#

you enter in the ip and ports they say

gray mural
#

will it be only with my friend or will other people from all over the world be there too?

real jacinth
#

those are public servers, so anybody can join them

gray mural
#

so how do i make a private server then?

real jacinth
#

read the instructions in pins

#

it covers public servers, private direct connection, and private servers

gray mural
#

so i just try to do the vpn method from there?

#

it says the other method is more complicated so.... thkshadeidk

gray mural
#

the HKMP ZeroTier tutorial says in one part
"paste the network ID at the bottom and click join network"
does the host have to share the id with the others?

#

like the one i got from Zero Tier CENTRAL

novel yew
#

hi

#

you trying to do a private server?

gray mural
#

yup

novel yew
#

why tho

gray mural
#

trying to play with a friend

novel yew
#

oh but what happened with public ones? they broke?

gray mural
#

i think not but i dont want random people doing stuff while we try to have fun

novel yew
#

i mean they cant modify anything in your game

#

but if you want

#

goodluck in doing it

#

!

gray mural
#

ok can you just answer my question tho

novel yew
#

i havent tried any private server as publics works fine so i cant answer, but i hope you find the solution

celest orbit
#

I downgraded my version to 1.4.3.2, download mod installer 1 and downloaded the mods I want but when I launch the game none of them show up. I followed the steps for when they don't show up (the comment I replied to) but they still don't show up. Any idea how to fix this?

pliant lantern
#

If those steps didn't work, then most likely your mods aren't installing to your game

celest orbit
#

I'm pretty sure I chose the right path, the .dll files are in the Mods folder.

pliant lantern
#

Post screenshot of that whole folder (including bar at top)

celest orbit
#

Is scarab being there the problem? I disabled all the scarab mods but I left it there.

old nimbus
#

is the mantis gods mod broken?

pliant lantern
# celest orbit

Yeah, that folder is a mess. Your installers should not be in it at all

celest orbit
#

I'll try to put them somewhere else.

pliant lantern
#

Any .dll files that aren't mods, can break everything

#

So at this point, you may want to wipe that folder, and redownload your mods

pliant lantern
old nimbus
#

i see

#

guess i'll try downgradin

desert cloud
#

any ideas on how to fix this>

#

using scarab...

pliant lantern
# desert cloud any ideas on how to fix this>

You're possibly missing one of the dependencies. To start though, close the game, then open Scarab, then uninstall Item Changer and then Reinstall Item Changer. Make sure you wait for the loading bar at the bottom of Scarab to finish before closing it again.

When it's done, try launching the game again

desert cloud
#

ive tried that...

#

@pliant lantern

pliant lantern
#

Why would you ping, when I'm actively responding to you?

desert cloud
#

idk

#

just cuz

pliant lantern
#

Then don't do it

desert cloud
#

aight sorry i guess

#

any other ideas tho?

pliant lantern
#

This is a wild idea, but maybe follow the instruction that the error message gave: check modlog.txt

#

ModLog
"ModLog.txt" can be found in the same folder as your save files:
Windows: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/
......................................................

To easily get ModLog on Windows:

  • Press + R
  • Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK"
  • ModLog.txt is in this folder.

Note: is the Windows button, in between Ctrl and Alt on your keyboard

desert cloud
#

well i mean thats cool and all but like:

#

i have a slight understanding of what this means and no way of fixing it

mossy smelt
#

go to your mods directory and delete the ItemPlacer folder

gray mural
#

my friend cant connect to my HKMP server shermanxious
any help?

mossy smelt
#

Have you followed the pinned guide?

gray mural
#

yes

#

up until near the end

real jacinth
#

follow it more better

mossy smelt
#

^

gray mural
#

this part
"To join, simply enter a Hollow Knight save file and pause the game. At the top-right corner, add the server's IP address (the host's ZeroTier IP from a previous part of the tutorial), port (26950) and your username, and click "Connect".
If you are the host, you may already be automatically connected to your server after you start hosting. If you don't see the "disconnect" button in "Join Server", also follow the steps to manually connect, but use the server IP "localhost" instead."

desert cloud
#

ok itemchanger is deleted

#

now im guessing reinstall with scarab again>

mossy smelt
#

And why exactly are you deviating from the guide?

gray mural
#

im not deviating anything

mossy smelt
gray mural
#

i think its the IP that isnt working

desert cloud
#

no just itemchanger

#

no itemplacer

mossy smelt
#

So you are hosting and connected to your own server?

gray mural
#

yes, i can connect to the server and host it

#

but my friend cant join

real jacinth
#

are they in your vpn room with you?

mossy smelt
#

You've approved their device in zerotier?

gray mural
#

yes

desert cloud
mossy smelt
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

I've never used rando4

desert cloud
#

welp

mossy smelt
#

Probably not actually

real jacinth
#

go to saves location and delete all globalsettings files

#

and make sure you have all dependencies installed

novel bronze
#

help

alpine imp
#

send help

novel bronze
#

releyas tutorial for rando isnt helping

#

i cant install it

gray mural
#

could anyone help me with HKMP stuff from above?

real jacinth
#

that sucks

#

follow the pinned guide

novel bronze
#

oh what

#

TY

novel yew
gray mural
#

at this point im considering it

real jacinth
#

the information you need is in the guide in pins. if you're still having issues, you're probably not following it properly. without providing additional information about what you've specifically done, we can't really help you

#

plus the public servers are fine to use anyways. hkmp just shows your position to others

#

your worlds are all your own

#

there is no item/enemy syncing

gray mural
#

im gonna try the public server to see if it works

#

maybe its the mod having some trouble and not my friend's pc

queen fiber
#

hey ive been following the advice from the pins and cant figure out why the HKMP isnt showing up when i run the game

#

scarab had no issues finding the right path and it says the mod is installed and enabled

gray mural
#

it says i connected to the server but im seeing literally no one on my screen

real jacinth
#

are any mods showing up on title screen

uneven badge
#

Can someone tell me what bingo board does? The website doesn’t really explain.

queen fiber
#

no mods showing on title screen

real jacinth
#

lets you play bingo

#

it's just a site with goals

#

that you can click

uneven badge
real jacinth
#

so like, you can race others to make a bingo, or blackout, or whatever

#

instead of "beat the game" every time

uneven badge
#

Huh okay. I still don’t really understand. Like are they in game goals?

real jacinth
real jacinth
#

like.... beat failed champ

#

collect X items

#

you do that, you mark that bingo goal

uneven badge
real jacinth
#

screenshot your title screen

queen fiber
real jacinth
#

did you change patches recently

queen fiber
#

yes

real jacinth
#

after you used scarab

novel bronze
#

i mean its not 1.4.3.2

queen fiber
#

before

novel bronze
#

?

real jacinth
#

please don't give advice when you don't know what you're talking about

novel bronze
#

sry

real jacinth
#

close your game, open scarab, and install any mod

novel bronze
#

i just got back to this channel

real jacinth
#

then open your game when it finishes installing it and see if anything has changed

queen fiber
#

ok now its all there

#

i downloaded benchwarp and HKMP showed up with it

#

cheers

#

seems odd tho

real jacinth
#

not really

#

you removed your modding API

#

through either verifying files or changing patch

queen fiber
#

ah

#

yeah i verified after getting scarab

gusty cedar

^

gusty cedar
gusty cedar
real jacinth

#

i wasnt understanding at all

real jacinth
#

clearly

woeful marten
#

novel bronze

The mod installer for 1.5.78

woeful marten
#

oh thx

shadow fjord
#

my room rando always softlocks on spawn if not on a bench, even though it would be King's Pass

real jacinth
#

softlocks meaning what

shadow fjord
#

it looks like my character is moving in one direction and i cant use any menu or move so i have to alt f4

real jacinth
#

I dont understand

#

you are moving, yet not moving?

shadow fjord
#

okay lemme explain in another way

#

my knight is trying to move, but only stays there upon death and looks like its walking

#

so

#

when i die i cant do anything

real jacinth
#

are you using benchwarp fix

shadow fjord
#

i disabled it already

real jacinth
#

screenshot your title screen

shadow fjord
#

okay

compact crane
#

how can i change this HUD?

#

(using scarab)

real jacinth
#

you use customknight for that

real jacinth
#

have you tried replicating the issue since?

#

this is also a LOT of mods

compact crane
shadow fjord
#

most of them are QoL

#

theyre mostly for rando reasons

real jacinth
shadow fjord
#

ye

compact crane
#

theres several HUDS available for starry knight i think

real jacinth
#

you also just have a lot

shadow fjord
#

yes but it has happened many times

#

i can try turning off some stuff that might cause it

real jacinth
#

you didn't answer my question about removing benchwarp fix

#

when did you do that

shadow fjord
#

i did

real jacinth
#

and have you tested dying since

shadow fjord
#

i have

#

just now

#

same thing

real jacinth
#

you probably don't need magicUI or Modscript

shadow fjord
#

yes

#

lemme check out all of those

real jacinth
compact crane
#

multiple huds
wait do you change them with the gamemode you play?

iron mist
#

saw skurry use something to auto map a room rando - where to find?

compact crane
real jacinth
#

then yes, it'd be game mode

#

steel soul/godseeker

#

/normal

woeful marten
#

hi after i installed scarab and unabled the mods i wanted then i lunched the game but it keeps crushing (unity crash)

real jacinth
#

where'd you get the game from

woeful marten
#

fitgirl

real jacinth
#

what

woeful marten
#

fitgirl repacks (cracked version)

novel yew
#

cracked version dont work

pliant lantern
#

Mods don't work with cracked version

#

I'm pretty sure the game is still 50% off on Steam rn

novel yew
#

yeah

#

you should consider getting it

woeful marten
#

i have it on game pass but i cant mod on game pass

novel yew
#

well mods only works in steam/gog version

#

i think you can now mod gamepass but its tricky afaik

pliant lantern
#

A. Gamepass is more like renting games. Not really having them.
B. Apparently as of like, last week, Gamepass games became modable, but they aren't really well supported/documented (as in, Idk what directories you'd need to point the installer to). Additionally, the Gamepass version is still 1432, so you'd need to use the old Mod Installer.

woeful marten
pliant lantern
shadow fjord
#

as you can see, the knight is trying to go left

#

so what happens is there is a black screen and when i spawn this happens

icy cave
#

anyone know why my hollow point mod isn't working?

novel bronze
#

Did you check the pinned messages

icy cave
#

no i will

gray mural
#

i think hollow point doesnt work if you make a brand new save file, bullets wont do anything

icy cave
#

my gun just shoots once then stops and theres a cooldown

pliant lantern
icy cave
#

and yea bullets do nothing

pliant lantern
#

my gun just shoots once then stops and theres a cooldown

hollow point doesnt work if you make a brand new save file, bullets wont do anything
||After creating a new save, you must Save and Quit, and then re-enter the save. This is stated in the ReadMe, but it's a bit more tedious to find those these days||

shadow fjord
#

i use a keyboard and it never does that anywhere else3

#

there are the randos and hash is here if it helps Moss Knight, Vengefly, Uumuu, Boofly

pliant lantern
#

Your problem has nothing to do with Rando options

#

Do you have a controller plugged in at all, even if you don't use it?

shadow fjord
#

nope

#

let me disable some rando options

novel yew
#

That shouldn't affect anything

pliant lantern
#

Rando options literally don't affect movement inputs at all

shadow fjord
#

no but its about spawning after dying

#

it blackscreens and does that

#

maybe i could just benchwarp after that but that would get annoying

#

i disabled QoL lets try now

#

without QoL i couldnt move

blissful vessel
#

is custom knight a heavy mod

#

by that I mean

#

does it affect the performance/ increases how much cpu/gpu whatever hk needs to use

tranquil rain
#

what does the godseeker mode do

novel bronze
#

Basically a 112% file but you’re stuck in godhome

real jacinth
#

it'll affect performance of course, but barely

gray mural
#

would anyone try HKMP with me to see if it's my friend that's having issues with the mod?

real jacinth
#

the mod is fine

#

it hasn't changed recently and people use it all the time

#

there's probably people in the public server now

gray mural
#

does the map show where other people are with the mod?

real jacinth
#

no

blissful vessel
#

is there a readme for the scarab installer

real jacinth
#

yes. b/c you were in that room

they can't see where your enemies are. just like you can't see where theirs are

fiery fiber

excuse me but i just wanted to use the debug mode on the 1.2.2.1 version for speedrun but when i launch the game the indication " modding A.P.I " is not here

real jacinth
#

did you add the modding api

fiery fiber
#

where ?

#

sorry ... i don't really understand the question

real jacinth
#

you have to manually install both

#

you can't just install debug and expect api to magically show up

fiery fiber
#

ooh

#

and where can i install api ?

real jacinth
#

in managed folder

fiery fiber
#

hum

#

i'm very sorry but can you show me .. i'm a bit confused

Hi. A few days ago my current patch Hollow Knight on Steam kept on getting unitycrashhandler crashes randomly during gameplay. Downgrading to 1.4.3.2 seemed to fix the issue for a while, but now, randomly, the game freezes and this text box appears:
"Hollow knight has encountered and must close.
A crash report named ""crash_2022-02-01-220806"" has been generated. These files can be sent to team cherry for analysis Would you like to open this folder now?"
The game subsequently closes. I have the Modding API installed, along with QoL, CustomKnight, and various dependency mods. I tried Verifying the Integrity of my Steam Files, but after clicking the button, the progress bar doesn't seem to advance at all...

#

Oops wait now the verifying process is working. I closed and relaunched Steam.

native ice
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
novel yew
#

Wasnt the problem it crashed mid-game not at starting?

#

or is the same

native ice
#

They had 2 problems

#

Oh wait

#

My bad

devout geode
#

Yeaaa I'm already using MI2

novel yew
#

wa

#

have you ever used scarab?

devout geode
#

Ye back when I was using current patch

novel yew
#

ah ok

#

well thats weird

devout geode
#

But I kept on getting unitycrashhandler errors

#

What it looked like:

#

But then I switched to 1.4.3.2 and it was good

#

(And thusly used MI2)

novel yew
#

Yeah at least you are good now

devout geode
#

Hopefully

devout geode
#

It did continue.
Both Current Patch and 1.4.3.2 crash randomly ingame....even without the Modding API.....even after reinstalling the game before....

#

I have no memory of messing with the files so...I may be screwed.

brave mica
#

what should i use? MI2 or scarab or MI1

novel bronze
#

What patch are you on

novel yew
#

latest version?

brave mica
#

well i dont have hk atm but im thinking of buying it and getting mods, so idk

#

i have it on my nintendo tho

novel yew
#

well if you buy it use scarab instead of mi1 or mi2

#

scarab is the installer for the latest version

brave mica
#

which version is it?

novel yew
#

(The one you auto get in steam and gog)

novel yew
#

Also if you are gonna get it remember only moddeable versions are Steam and GoG

brave mica
#

GoG???

#

whats that

novel yew
#

a installer

#

like steam

#

microsoft store

#

etc

brave mica
#

ohh ok

split rune
#

so i was having an issue with custom knight, when i backed out of the mod menu for it after turning off gameplay and events it froze my game minus the cursor so i alt + f4 out of the game, went to scarab uninstalled and reinstalled it, re-downloaded and installed my skin i was using and when i go to the mods section in settings custom knight isn't there at all, it is installed and enabled in scarab and the mods folder

#

another mod i have installed works fine (the compass everywhere one)

Hey, I’m really new to the PC version of Hollow Knight. How do I download Scarab? I’ve gotten to the GitHub page, but don’t know how to download it from here.

The game "freezing" is a bug with ModdingAPI, that will be finally fixed in the next release of it.
Until it's fixed, make sure that you always press the "Back" menu button to leave mod menus, instead of pressing "B" on controller or "ESC" on keyboard.

As far as your bugs with CK / starting the game go, you probably need to refresh your global settings files. You can easily do this by closing the game, and running this script: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/900956017951649822/Global_Settings_Reset.bat

#

just making sure this is how the skins folder should look right?

#

those folders lead to the pictures

split rune
#

and that will be the mod loader where you can download things such as custom knight and other mods

stiff tapir
#

i know that i need to downpatch the game but is there any other method?

tame fossil
#

What does this mean? Can I not finish installation? Im sorry for asking so many questions but I have no clue what I’m doing.

Thank youhollowparty

tame fossil
#

I DID IT

#

THANK YOU

#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#

I WAS ABOUT TO CRY

loud heart
#

where can i see available mods?

pliant lantern
#

On the installer

#

So, for Current Patch, download and run Scarab

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
atomic mist
#

So

#

I’m confused

#

Do I need the 1.4 beta version or the most recent version? I downloaded the 1.5 and open the game after moving a zip file to custom knight but then when I go into game I don’t see an option to equip it

#

Do I need to place the skins into the “swap” folder?

#

Ok so I’m trying the 1.4 beta version and the windows modinstaller 2

#

But moving a skin folder to the custom knight does not give me the option to change skins

#

Game loads up fine

pliant lantern
#

@atomic mist Unless there's a specific reason you want to be on 1.4, then you shouldn't be. Pretty much everything has been moved on to current patch (1.5).

loud heart
#

where should i put the installer?

atomic mist
#

Update: It works after switching it to 1.4, and opening the game from desktop after what seemed like updating the installer because the mod api was “out of date”

#

Or at least, one of the skins work

pliant lantern
# loud heart where should i put the installer?

For Scarab, you download the .zip for your OS.
Then Extract the contents into a new folder (by default it will be windows.zip on Windows, but you can rename that folder to Scarab or w/e).
Then, move that folder to wherever you want, as long as it's out of your Downloads folder (it's commonly recommended to move it to your Desktop).
Then run Scarab.exe that's inside the folder.

#

do you guys have mod descriptions?

Can you still get steam achievements with mods / after modding?
I still don't have all of the achievements but I want to mess around with things like the debug mod, but I don't want to do it if it means I can't get the achievements I haven't gotten yet.
Probably a dumb question but I like being absolutely certain of these things

You do

late quarry
#

Guys I have a question, so if I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, will my game remains modded or do I need to reinstall the mods again as well?

west bane
#

reinstalling the game uninstalls the modding api

#

so you will need to re-launch the installer to re-install the api

late quarry
#

I see

#

Thank u

shadow fjord
#

ok i found out the crap that was happening

#

when i use benchwarp

#

i cant move anymore

#

or when i spawn

#

because apparently that requires benchwarp

#

but how can i fix benchwarp

#

but it only freaks out if i warp to like kings pass or ant other spawnpoint without a bench

#

okay

#

it wasnt benchwaro

surreal tusk
#

i seem to be having trouble with custom knight. i have the skins downloaded adn its showing up in the game, however when i click on the skin in the pause menu it flashes and nothing changes.

shadow fjord
#

it has something to do with the spawns that dont have benches

#

yeah my scarab is probably fucked

#

cause i cant spawn

#

now i realized i cant spawn normally

#

it also freaks out when spawning on a bench

i trued every thing on this planet and i still cant get custom knight to work. Its says its there but the mod folder in the game is empty. Pls help me

real jacinth

late kayak
#

what

real jacinth
#
(patch 1.5): 
1) You don't have Satchel
2) The skin was applied at the main menu instead of in a game save (skins can only be applied while in a save)
3) Your skin folder is structured with extra folders (Structure should be:  Managed/Mods/Customknight/Skins/[Skin folder name]/[Skin PNG files])
4) 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):

cyan raft
real jacinth

well you're not set on the right filepath then

#

b/c none of those mods you listed are even in this modlog

real jacinth
#

you are adding mods with scarab to a place where your game isnt

#

Yeaah finally a solution

cyan raft
#

well all of these work except debug

abstract badger
real jacinth

not according to your modlog

abstract badger

That isn’t what your mod log says

Are you gonna pirate the game???

novel bronze
#

(I’m definitely missing a number)

quartz cove
#

is it the last, second to, or third to last?

#

(left to right)

quartz cove
novel yew
#

do any of your mods in scarab say out of date

go back here

delete this entire folder

then close and re-open scarab. and uninstall/reinstall debugmod

and then where you're getting the modlogs from, delete any debug globalsettings files
