Is that all the information it provides on the error?
yeah unfortunately
"due to X press OK to close"
isn't it related to .NET stuff, saying this randomly
even though I should be up to date regarding that as well
Might be, scarab uses pretty recent .net framework versions
yeah, as up to date as I can be I meant
Iirc it uses .net framework 6 but I need to check
thank you
saw two people mentioning it via the search feature on this sub but it didn't lead anywhere as far as I could tell
Yeah it uses 6
so I'm f*ed *with win7 ?
Maybe, I’ll give you a link to the hollow knight modding discord where there’s hopefully somebody who knows more about this
alright, thanks pal
There’s also the option of using ver 1.4.3.2 but it’s no longer really getting new mods
yeah I know but that's why I wanted to upgrade in the first place tbh, I'd like scarab as it seems to be better than what we had with the ModInstallers
plus yeah new stuff
Is there a list of mods supported by Scarab I can read?
(scarab is just modinstaller 2)
ah ok, well, still I guess, I'll try the other ds, thanks again
unless you're trying to get enemy randomizer or certain bosses like any rad chances are it's already on scarab
iirc there's a list of mods in the pins, not sure if it tells which installer. you should just be able to view that from scarab through...? kinda the point of it?
Can you send an image of the error?
For some reason the list of mods got removed
but there's still the mod links xml
xml is more useful anyways
well back to porting custompantheon
just less readable
btw while I'm at it, what should I add to custompantheon?
oo
Could you make it add scenes that aren't godhome scenes? Like have p5 but path of pain is spliced through out it
I think that's doable
give it a certain transition that is the only one you can use
turn all others into collision instead of triggers and remove transitionpoint or whatever
I was thinking make it so you can designate which transitions lead where, so you can just have the transitions you don't want lead to themself
Sure, it's in french and there not much to see but I'll send it in a minute
unpolished and iirc hk gets buggy with left/right transitions leading to the same kind
plus that's a rabbit hole of diverging paths I don't want to impliment
custompantheon? that sounds cooooooool
I'll also add "parameters" (set pd bool) so custom bosses can be triggered
i have a question with it tho
hey what would we put if we wanted no pvp
26951
alr thanks
if you want to see gameplay, iirc fireborn did some "pantheon of nightmares" videos or something
will normies like me be able to easily create a pantheon or i need to learn how to well, you know
Ah, unfortunate, but I guess if you have another way to make that work it'd be good
oh yeah saw that, cool
unfortunately I seem to have lost the source code again

yeah... ill just mark the second option
Just checking a couple common issues
- Scarab should be in a normal folder not a zipped one
- Scarab files should be on your Desktop, not in your Downloads or elsewhere
- Make sure your game is closed when installing a mod
- Try running the application as administrator
oh sorry, yeah, a new pantheon appears already complete. you can control the name and bosses in it with the mod's globalsettings file
just change some text stuff, that's it
Yep for everything, did all that
I can reupload the 1.4 ver rn
well i can always get a 1.4 patch but it doesnt go very fast in my pc lets say, ill better wait
ok, if you remember me ping me :}
So is importing a custom pantheon just adding a globalsettings file (and the required mods for custom bosses)?
if anyone has any more feature requests also put them there
yep, though for fireborn's vid I had to rewrite some code for some since most are programmed to not appear in pantheons at all
Ah, okay. Well, good luck ||I'm going to assume that this is just you taking on another side project and not anything to do with pale courts development being so close to done it doesn't need your full attention anymore||
||oh yeah they really need me. should prob finish this quick||
eh!
Lol
you work on pale court?
||I'm the only one left who bought playmaker||
lol
Nice
you seen that one vid by relyea about those 5 projects?
Am I the only one that gets crashes when I die to absolute inferno Grimm late into the fight?
i actually somehow knew about 3 of the 5 before that
but i never finish watching it
I’m working on all 5
lmao
Well not actively working, but in the development teams of all 5
Oh wow congrats
thats. pretty impressive
Mistakes were made
Understandable well good luck with that lmao
yeh
:(
nvm lol
Sad
WHY DO THEY TURN INTO EMOJIS
username change broke the link
A
Default setting on new discord accounts, you can only disable it on desktop too
Lol
howhowhowhwohowhwoh
ok thanks
np
so for some reason i cant get the customskin mod to work
i put skins in there but nothing
What version of hollow knight are you on
mmm
i am a slow typer....
Did you put the skins in the CustomKnight folder or the skins folder?
first i put them in the customknight folder and nothing, and now im trying the skins folder
but the ones in the skins folder dont even show up
And you’re checking the CustomKnight menu in the mods menu?
Do you have satchel installed?
well now i feel stupid, they were in the wrong folder 

alright well now i have an actual problem
Tell us
when i enabled the skin the game freezes
Are you doing it on the title screen?
oh thats not for the skin prob
yeah but the pause menu dissapears?
is there a way to fix it
because that has happened every single time i enabled a skin
but it completely dissapears the options right
it dissapears or no? me confuzz
ok so you are probably using a controller instead of keyboard
menu breaks when you exit by using the controller back button
you either can
use back button in the menu or
download a mod that lets you out of pause menu when you do that
which mod would that be
controller makes hollow knight playable for me cause my brain can wrap around it
oh just a mod that when you press f3 or smth it lets you out
m
would it be possible for me to not download that mod and instead just press the escape key when i want to escape the menu
yes
Can’t you also just just press the back button like they said?
just use the pause menu back button
ye
Is it possible to remove a players spells, skills and charms? Like they never picked it up
anyone know what skin this is and where i can download it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnDAeK7u8Lo
Yes

Neat, what about downgrading nail?
thank you so much
That and the others are all in debug mod
Those are probably the simplest things in modding lol
this isnt about mods but is there a way to look how many fps is my hk going
Just modifying playerdata (save data)
There is but I forgot how to
lol
Yuh, I'm thinking of making some type of a sort of roguelike feel(? But, I wasn't sure if you'd be able to remove the items once you die or if I'd have to make it steel soul exclusive. Never modded this game before so I got quite some research to do

You can do anything
That's great
Depends on how long you want to hit your head on your computer

If you set up Xbox game bar it will tell you your FPS I think

thanks
yw
whenever i try opening my game a window pops up and it just shows the knights head and a red exclamation mark and then it closes.
whats this mean?
i'm new here and at hollow knight modding but pretty sure thats a crash
ya i cant open hollow knight now
also the hollow knight mod installer weirdly sounds like a virus
i uninstalled all mods too
ok so
you are using the wrong mod installer
also
ehm its not?
is the randomizer mod not on the latest version of hollow knight?
do you realize this is a official server
ok good
yes but
if you weren't in the server but still got it
or even
not being a hollow knight file
i mean program
wouldn't it be kinda weird that the thing you installed is named scarab
is named scarab to not generate confusion between mod installer 1 and 2
wich somehow confused more
afaik
weird
no idea why 56 didn’t continue the trend and go with mod installer 3 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ye
this is what i think
im using this one https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe for windows
yeah so
That’s for ver 1.4.3.2
Scarab is for 1.5.x.x (latest ver)
So I need help
I downloaded the Scarab
and went for a rando 4 run
but when I talked with elderbug I didn't got the maps
uh?
I need a extra mod or something?
i'm gonna do a rando run so i don't know what ''the maps'' is
does it straight just give you a free map
is a map with check
yeah
all checks*
neat
thank you btw
didn't find nothing with that name
but maybe this one
Yeah
thought so
whats the mod to randomize enemies?
enemy randomizer
it only shows enemy changer and enemy hp bar
enemy randomizer is only for 1.4
o dang
Lmao I have no idea what I did, but I'm being rick rolled by hollow knight
Lmaooooo I've been fooled
fooooooled
Bless the devs, that made my day
y
love that mod
now we have to wait for actual pale court mod...
ahem ahem ||Someone,when pale court||
||Sometime after Silksong||
Hey everyone! I'm trying out 1.2.2.1 downpatch and I wanna install debug mod
can I use scarab for that?
No
There isn't a ModInstaller for 1221
If you're planning on speedrunning and want to practice with Debug, then join the Speedrunning server (pinned in #speedrunning ), and Search in the Resources channel for the 1221 Modding API and Debug
ahh gotcha! I'll install it manually then - thx
thanks will do!
Hey dwarf have you tried the complete p5 mod?
Not yet, but I did see your message about the doubles
Yeah
Just making sure before doodle get done
So to see if it can get fixed (until you want to do them twice for the showcase)
It's fine, I'll just ||continue|| go||ing|| really slowly so you have plenty of time
Tbf, I'm still only like 1/3 done with mine @_@
Sly has so many frames
After installing the mod, the loading screen shows smol Hornet instead of the default character, the title screen is displayed as Silksoon instead of the original title, but when I start the game, I’m still the default character, not Hornet. Plus, theres no custom knight screen to the left of the pause menu. Any help would really he appreciated.
I’m going to bed now, hut I’ll respond to anything in the morning
Thanks
Can someone explain how to use the hollow point mod?
I’ve seen some YouTubers use it but it isn’t the same for me
Like my gun doesn’t work it shoots once every 15 seconds and even then it does no damage
Should I downpatch?
how do i find where is HK in PC ?
(i am playing on Xbox gamepass for PC)
create a savefile without the mod enabled first
then enable the mod and enter the world
on scarab what is the gun mod called or is it not on there yet?
Hollow Point
thanks
hi guys i have a question, if i turn the version of hollow knight in 1.4 to use the mod installer could i lost something? for example achievement or data saves?
No, but also why not just use scarab?
idk what is scarab

How does the HKMP mod work?
https://geroyuni.notion.site/geroyuni/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743 this helped me
like i cant get past the zip file
did you...
extract it?
right click the zip and click on extract files
then you will find a file called windows if you downloaded the windows version
oh
and opening it u will find an exe file called scarab
nvm thank chu
np
I don't usually have to extract files T^T
alr
what mod are you using?
oh
its probably QOL
because thats the only thing that interferes with animations
all the other mods dont really have anything in them that can do dat
or its genuinely a bug
try finding any setting that could do that
or try disabling the mod altogether
if your fine with that
I need some help with installing a mod?
Can somebody help me I am trying to install some skins but don't know how to do it?
Download the skin(from the pins), extract if it needs to be, remove extra folders in the file structure, ( file structure should be custom knight/skins/[name of you skin]/the skins art assets)and put the skins in your skins folder which can be found in managed/mods/custom knight after loading the game once
hello i need help with the installer
i was trying to downgrade but fail, try again and still fail
what do i need to do?
Which version are you trying to downpatch to?
What do you need help with?
1.2.2.1
well it said the download failed
Iirc that is one of the versions you can switch to with steam betas
it says this and i dont know what to do

how do i change it to new patch without needing to download it again?
The pins have a guide on downpatching through steam and gog
i downpatched my game to 1.2.2.1 via the beta option on steam and I tried using the modding api on another folder (I copied and pasted the folder with the game). however, it does not work, anyone knows why?
Are you sure you installed it correctly?
well, I mostly followed fireb0rn's video, but I downpacthed in a different way, as there's a 1.2.2.1 beta version on steam. i downpatched that way, duplicated the folder in the Steam/steamapps/common/ folder so I could create a "debug" version. I put the modding api there and tried running the game through that folder (not through steam, as it would open the "normal" version)
I should have specified that this is the Daughter Of Hollownest skin mod. I forgot about that part, sorry.
you have to change it on options
options and then mods
The only thing in Mods is just a toggle for the mods, no skin changer
Have you checked the pin on custom knight
I'm trynna join my friend in multiplayer, but it keeps saying connection failed
I'm p sure I have everything inputted correctly, anyone know the issue?
When I play hkmp on scarab, I can’t see my friend’s skin and he can’t see mine and sometimes my skin just disappears so only the moves, spells and gui stay custom can this be fixed?
What method are you using to connect to each other. Zerotier?
Did you follow the guide on using skins with hkmp
I have no idea, I've been following my friend's instructions
No I just downloaded the skins and put them into the custom knight folder
Ask your friend then
hello
am using zerotier
to
play hollow knight multiplayer
i hosted it
but they cant join in
it says "connection failed"
No, I’ll try some of those
Thanks

Download the thing, make sure it matches your patch and OS
Extract to desktop, if you got Scarab put the 4 files that come out of it into a folder named “Scarab”
Open the Modinstaller/Scarab and install whatever you wanna play
Close it and run your game
Have fun
its not letting me
uh
a got mod installer 1 instead and it says that i need to update hollow knight to the most recent version
although it is the most recent version7
use scarab
that shows up if you use modinstaller (made for patch 1432) on 1.5.78
thanks
ok
last question
after i install the ones i wanted
how do i use them
in hk
most of them will be in your game automatically, however a few of them you need to go into options>mods and you can mess around with whatever you want there
im on the most recent version but it keeps syaing that its too out of date to use mod loader 1
plz help

do i have to make a new file in the hollow knight stuff?
just download and extract the folder with the skin
enter the game and in main menu options > mods > custom knight > open skins, drag the folder with your skin there, click fix and reload then default
alright thanks

Hey so I start up the game it appears to start than it crashes. I enabled the modding API but it seems that the modding API is what crashes the game...
perhaps u are on the wrong version
Hello! I'm doing research for a game demo I'm working on, and I wanted to learn more about hollow knight's hitboxes. Is there a mod that allows you to see the hitboxes for attacks? I have scarab installed and was wondering if there was any mod included in it already that accomplished this.
This shows hitboxes
Awesome! Is there a guide on how to install this mod?
Or does Scarab have some function that allows me to add it to the mod list?
click on pinned mesages
I take it I should use mod installer? Sorry I'm pretty new to this lol
Hi, my achievement for 112% and the last pantheon achievement wont show up, I was using infinite notches
Modding on Hollow Knight is pretty easy and straight forward. In this video I will go over the basics of modding and how to play with several different mods.
This is only the beginning to modding. If you have questions on how to install mods outside of the mod installer, that is beyond the scope of this video.
Thank you to all the help answeri...
hope this is helpfull
Yeah or just copy the ShowHitboxes.dll to the games folder inside the files
imagine that happened in a real conversation
@ivory horizon
sweet! thank you!
I mean it would be kind of like speaking your mind to the wrong person... so I mean it does happen...
can i close scarab after opening hollow kniht wit hthe mods
Yes
bump
so sorry, is there a way to add mods to Scarab? I went to use mod installer but i think my game is too new of a version for modinstaller to work
there are tutorials to change versions
oh dope! I'll give that a shot
tell me when the demo is done!
Will do! It's my senior project for college, so it should be done in the next 3 months. I plan on releasing it for free on steam when I'm done.
This is dope, but i's missing attack hitboxes on the player character, does anybody know of a mod that shows the hit boxes for the player characters attacks? I could also just look at like a picture or gif of the frame data if anybody has that.
If anybody knew an answer to this it would help me out a ton, I've scoured the interned for like an hour trying to find a record of the attack hitboxes and I can't find anything anywhere.
Like hit boxes of nail swing?
Exactly!
debugmod allows you to display hitboxes, includes like all types of hitboxes
Yeah debug shows everything
do you have a link to that? or is it pre-installed in mod installer 2?
It is on mod installer 2
okay I'll try it out now. Thank you!
what are the controls for debug? I checked the mod description but it doesn't say.
i know f1 is pull up/ put away the menu
If you click something that thing happens and you can bind something by hitting the white circle in the binds menu
how do I even get my mouse to pull up lol
nevermind i am a fool
I normally play on switch so I'm not used to the PC UI my bad
That worked perfectly! Thank you for your help @abstract badger @novel bronze @vernal rain @hot mist
Is there any mod that is not compatible with HKMP?
So I changed from Mod Installer to Scarab (and, yes, I used that Global_Settings_Clear thing), installed Custom Knight and enemy HP bars through Scarab, placed the Daughter of Hollownest skin files where I’m pretty sure they should be (the custom HP bar file confuses me). I try to start the game, and I am greeted with a loading screen of the knight with a red exclamation mark which instantly closes.
I couldn’t find the json file stated in the pins, but that might be because I had to reinstall the game to fix an error
Is it because I installes Satchel incorrectly? I put the Satchel-Master in the Mods folder, as I couldn’t find any directions, so I just assumed that it had to go in Mods
And I am in the most recent patch now
that sounds like an incompatible api with game patch error
Guys I opened once Scarab, and some mods weren't working so I closed HK and went to uninstall some mods but scarab won't open, it just stays there in black
any idea, already restarted my pc, still doesn't work
I gave up and just l left it "opening" on that black screen and it closed by himself
Just an idea, could it be a antivirus thing?
So I beat the game on Switch but picked up the game on Steam and am interested in starting a Steel Souls run but don't want to beat it again to unlock it, is the mod installer the way to go to do this? Will using it disable achievement unlocking? I tried looking this up online and was not getting any super concrete answers about it!
Mods dont affect achievement unlocking
There isnt a way to port your save but you can download one online
using randomizer will automatically unlock all modes
I've never used any hk mods before. is there any specific mod installer I should use??
forever
Depends on your version
it uses the difficulty select screen
I'm on steam on the latest version I believe

Then scarab is the go
okay cool, so for my purposes, download/install scarab, activate randomizer, then deactivate, and steel soul will be unlocked?
No randomizer needs to be on
you have to run the game
with rando on
start a save
then you can uninstall after
Oh okay, so the save will be not affected by starting it with randomizer on then uninstalling the randomizer?
Nope, not affected
nice! thanks
You can also just keep it up as randomizer doesnt start until you want to
Like there is another section apart for the mod

oh okay so even though it's activated, I have to like, start it aside from that for it to actually take effect?
Yes
when you start a new save, there's options that pop up
So none of your files would be affected if you leave it on
Got it, thanks again!



can I get some help with Inferno King Grimm?
there's a lot of different randomizers, is there a specific one that would work best for my purposes?
Randomizer 4, Randomizer Map S, RandomizerCore, RandomTeleport, RandoPlus
most of those are support mods
So do I just uninstall and then reinstall scarab to fix this
yo does anyone know of a pure vessel/THK skin for custom knight i could have?
oh
i assume it's cause the API that comes with that skin is old, DwarfWoot has a simplified version fo the DoH skin that youll wanna search from him to find
FYI, just tried using Randomizer 4 and it successfully installed and allowed me to start a randomized save file, but there's still no steel soul mode unlocked from doing it
only gives me the option of "Classic Mode" and "Randomizer Mode"
Mhm i knew it mickely
steel soul is ruled out cause of the existance of shade skips
Yeah I don't even want to play a randomizer game I'm just trying to unlock Steel Soul because I already beat it on Switch lol
They meant this
youll have to temporarily disable randomizer
there is no THK/PV skin in pins
Have you tried with the white palace drive?
it's in the other one
?
wdym other one
nice
found it
thx you two
thats like 5th time you have helped me out
amazing job
:D

I'm assuming I'm screwed and there's no actual way to unlock Steel Soul without actually beating the game? Seems pretty odd with so many mods that this was never a toggle added :(
There is a way to do it but there is another easier way
By using benchwarp and debug mod
So, it's been like years since my first playthrough and I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I'm extremely fresh on not fighting the bosses and stuff, to see how far I could get with an almost blind steel soul playthrouggh
so I was specifically trying to avoid doing any fights again
You can avoid all fights except thk with my method
so is the method to warp to the final bench of the game and beat the final boss
Yeah, but you can make yourself invincible and increase your dmg a lot so you dont even need to foght
oh okay nice
do you remember which bench/area I would warp to? I just gave myself invincibility and crazy damage, just gotta figure this final step out lol
got it! unlocked
Now enter one called black egg
I’ll do that
Thanks
done! thanks for the tips :)
Yw!
how do i start a hollow knight multiplayer

Does scarab not have the multiplayer mod?
it's called HKMP
Ah got it thanks
what is the new custom knight mod called because it says its out of date?
is there a way to install mods without the modloader
Hit the orange box
oh shit ty lmfao
for some reason the modloader wont run on my mac so is there a way to install mods without the modloader
Where did you buy the game from?
Which modinstaller did you try to use and what patch are you on
i tried the 1.5 scarab and the 1.4.3.2 modloader on their respective patches
Both modinstallers didn’t work for 1.4
oh wait never mind i figured it out
for some reason i had to run the executiable inside the .app
uninstalled scarab and everything on in but this is still here
because scarab itself is still within the game files
to get rid of it, verify file integrity on steam
alright
where can i do that>
That's the modding api
Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files
does anyone know the command for getting the mod installer link

What website do I use for help with checks in randomizers?
I'm having some trouble that I can't seem to figure out, I've went back to the latest version unmodded and it runs fine but when I run the 1.4.3.2 with mod installer the game opens up without the team cherry thing showing and when I click on play, my saves are all empty and say loading after a moment
Most people use Map Mod S (on the installer you got Randomizer from)
Thank you
I found it but I don't know how to delete that file from the run window, it's only giving me the option to open it and when I try it wants me to use another app like internet explorer
What? You don't delete any file from the "run" window
I know
I figured it out
I deleted them
thanks for the help
finally, after trying for months I can finally play modded hollowknight again, again, thanks so much for the help
Is there anywhere I can find instructions on how to partition my disk so I can have a second version of the game with its own save files?
You can have multiple copies of the game, but they would share save files. If you want additional save slots, then use More Saves
Do I need different disk per copy of the game?
No
Ah so I can just make another copy of the game files and mod that. Thank you!
There's a guide for having multiple installations on the Speedrun website
Well, it's part of the downpatching guide, but it mentions having multiple copies
Either way, you don't really need to have multiple copies just for Modding on the same patch; But if it makes you feel better then go for it 
I just wanted the options just in case. Thanks so much for the help!
does anyone know the name of the gun mod on scarab
Hollow Point.
Again, you'll wanna check out the ReadMe for it after installing
It has unique game mechanics, as well as some quirks
For HKMP, do we have to manually change the skin ids to sync up with the person I'm playing with?
is there a mod menu to open in game? maybe I'm being dumb or its just with specific mods? can't figure it out
options>mods
oops im dumb thanks
hey whenever I try to put my hollow knight game path in it says invalid then my game crashes
is there any way to fix that?
m
i accidentally gave myself 6 pale ore via debug mod
if i can how do i get rid of it
Is there like a list of mods not allowed for speedruns, bcs there's some mods that just give you info on your game, are those still allowed or all prohibited?
im late but there is no mod allowed for speedruns, except the speedruns that does require certain mods
oh ok thanks, no worries for the delay
yes, you did ❤️
Can someone help me with this too, or at least try to help
i need some help with the enemy randomizer mod, i've downloaded it and placed it in the mods folder (this is using scarab ofc) but the game isn't loading it, as in its not popping up in the top left on the menu, is it not compatible with scarab or am i just doing something wrong? this is the my first time messing with mods
enemy randomizer mod isnt compatible with scarab nor latest version
Enemy randomizer is only for 1.4 sadly.
Using a VPN usually fixes that, could also be an anti virus thing yea. I think someone also reported it just started working randomly after trying a bunch or maybe waiting a day
Oh ok thx so much
where can i find mods ?
i got scarab installer and installed a custom skin but is there some sort of site with a mod database?
Sorry what?
Scarab has all the mods on it
Or almost all of em, there's very few not on scarab
Just check the box next to "Installed?" for the mods you want
and it'll add em
some trainer available ?
i needed bench teleport for save
ya the names were kinda confusing like idk what HKTools does
Click on the names, it'll give a brief description, if that isn't enough just ask here
Oh ok thanks
Benchwarp lets you do that
nice thanks
Is there some place where I can see like, skins available for custom knight?

Thx, sorry I completly forgot to check there before asking
when me and my friend play hkmp on scarab, we can't fight the same bosses or enemies, can this be fixed?
HKMP doesn't have enemy sync, it's being worked on but it'll be a very long time till it's finished
ok thanks

we are on one server on hamachi
and i cant connect
Hit start hosting before hiting connect
"invalid port"
Did you follow the guide on the method your using ||I believe it’s port forwarding||
idk my router passowrd is weird
There is a guide on different methods down at the bottom of this guide hosting to friends on the internet with zerotier is the easiest https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
Hey-hey, people. I have a very specific question to ask. Is there a mod to edit the sensitivity of controller input? Thumbsticks specifically. Checking my xInput values shows that there's nothing wrong with my controller, but I find it a bit difficult to utilise pogos because it doesn't always register thumbstick position as enough for down slash, so I'd like to tweak those values.
i installed the newest mod installer and i got one skin and now i can't even boot up the game ( uninstalling didn't help )
Wich installer
the pinned one in this channel
You mean scarab? There are 3 pinned here
yea scarab
Have you upatched?
what?
Scarab doesnt work in the version mod installer works in
Scarab is only for latest version, so if your game isnt on most recent patch it cant work
Well do the same steps you entered the beta
And instead of clicking 1.4
Click "none"
ok thanks
guys, i need help with randomiser 4. what is Ruins1_01 room?
Thanks for the hint!
Yw
Also i think you can enable room names via debug settings or benchwarp settings
But i dont remember exactly where
Maybe i need to instal debug mod
Yeah isnt bad to have it in hand
Cus room names is something that debug mod should do
No, i already checked
Inside options > mods?
Hello, I'm having trouble with nail damage because of debugmod. I set nail damage to be absurdly high, played around with it for a bit, and then uninstalled my mods. Problem is, now, even without mods, I can still one shot any boss... it seems that the nail damage has saved. is there anything I did wrong? I've already verified my files and swapped patches.
I mean... you can always install debug again and lower your nail dmg
If you bind a letter to lower dmg and just spam it should be faster
Try this
Ehm
Yes.
The problem is nail dmg, yes. But if debug mod is uninstalled, config files may be the issue
Nah uninstalling debug mod didn’t reset anything
The nail dmg always stay the same until forced to change
To get the correct nail damage reinstalling debug mod and setting it that way is pretty much the easiest
Debug has nothing to do with it rn
Once again, about that. Does debug allow for that, by any chance? It already shows the analog values of input, maybe there are ways.
Benchwarp. I just need Benchwarp.
Pause the game -> "settings" on the top ->show room name
so my mod idea is theoretically possible
