Hi, i have a question. I have a mac compuper and I was able to download the mod installer, but when I open it, it keeps saying that it unexpectedly crashed
the installer. I am using scarab
Thanks I disabled it somehow 
Custom Knight is acting weird, skins don't work on pre existing saves, even though the mod says it does.
it does
the mod also conflicts with hollow point. and requires you to have put the skins in the right spot
check pins for common fixes
Yes
Thanks
Can you screenshot scarab on the installed mods section?
When I go into the game on pc it says the hkmp mod failed to load and its says to open modlog but I have
I installed it again
But still says the same
- Where do you have the game from?
- How did you install HKMP?
Do you have a legitimate version of the game?
Because many mods don't work on pirated / cracked copies
Oh
Is there a reason you're not using Scarab to install mods?

Oh
Not at home rn
Thank you
I only have a few mods on when playing
Customknight, QoL, debug, benchwarp and their dependecies
I tried disabling all to check if it was a mod specific thing
Still no
Do this: <#archived-modding-help message>
Then install a random mod (you can uninstall it), then try again
Thank you, i was considering completely deleting the mod installer and downloading it again
is there a mod that allows me to see the health bars of bosses/enemies?
Yeep
what is it
Enemy hp bar
download link?
Its on scarab
what is it called on scarab
Enemy hp bar
oh i was looking in installed
Lol
thx for help
Is there a mod to spawn in geo?
Does it normally take super long to apply a custom knight skin?
It seems as if my game is frozen but idk if it’s just loading in the skin or whatnot
(I do Wanna use a custom knight skin tho since, I really like the skin I found)
debug mod
Any and all help is always appreciated <3
uhh no
it maybe takes a few seconds
Alright so its something messing up
(have you seen starry knight)
If only I was experienced

Close your game, and try again.
Make sure that you leave the menu by pressing the "Back" button, and not by hitting "B" on controller nor by press ESC.
hm alright will try that
Also gonna make sure my folders are not multilayered
Ok its not, clicking the folder brings up all the images and stuff so thats not the problem
Oh! It works now! Yay!
this did not solve the issue
oh great my game crashed on the title screen with 0 mods 
The number of mods is irrelevant if you have a bad or mismatched API.
I have scara and I don't have hk downpatched
I did not have the API installed when this happened
And you used Verify Integrity in Steam?
yes
wtf everything is breaking
and between the period in which it worked completely fine and it breaking I did not do anything else other than having discord and steam open
what the fuck
Thanks for the ping. No need to delete it though. I thought it was a troll ghost pinging at first 
hi guys, sorry if this was answered already. the modinstaller from modnexus says i need the most recent stable version to run. i have already updated the game on steam. Any suggestions?

gotcha, will watch out
use scarab. it's for current patch
thanks bro, will look at past messages for more
idk what I did but this thing is happening again
it worked a few times, tried to install mods; it broke; deleted a bunch of things, it worked again, then idk it broke again
What did you do earlier?
I think just reinstalling from steam
and verifying file integrity
and it worked
but then
What installer are you using?
scarab
And you installed mods with scarab and then it stopped working?
like
i'll tell you what happened
I was playing hollow knight today completely fine on a new playthrough
only benchwarp, debug, custom knight and dependecies enabled
And that was working?
yea it was completely fine
you know when the dreamers appear on the resting grounds to banish you to the dream realm?
they teleport 1 by 1
as soon as the first one teleported, my game froze
I waited some minutes
still frozen
I could only close it
so I did
then I tried to open the game again
now on start up it was a completely white screen andthe game immediately stopped responding
this happened through the course of 5 minutes
hello
tried verifying game file integrity
where can I find the info on how to use scrab

thx
Uh... never seen that happen, that's really odd
Have you tried verifying integrity and just trying again?
wait that's how to get it but how do I use it
yea when I verified file integrity
it detected some files and replaced them whatever it does
Unzip it, run the app, check the boxes next to "Installed?"
then it changed to a black sccreen and it played menu music
no i don't think so
k
Your desktop
or so I thought
Doesn't really matter
it seemed normal at first but when i went to quit the game to install mods
the game froze on the menu screen
and I can't get it to work again
it's just grey
wheres the globalsettings file
nothing is happening it's just a grey screen
I genuinely cant find it

But it plays the same
Is it possible to mod hollow knight through xbox gamepass?
Give this a try https://docs.google.com/document/d/13m-jJqI_Sk-rqoX9YO2T7ucvwP5DIMbf3wkmVSlm2WI/edit
Hollow Knight mods on the Xbox Gamepass (for PC) I just found out about this so I can’t really give a very detailed guide on how to do this but I’ll try my best.If you launch the Xbox app (and you also have the gamepass subscription activated) you will be able to install Hollow Knight: Voidhe...
thank you ill give it a try
hey I can't heal while using the gun mod
is that a glitch?
it says I should be able to
it's not happening
After hitting enemies a lot withiut getting hit

how do I change my skin in game?
I have custom knight and have 2 skins installed in the skin folder but how do I use them in game
nvm
I found it
Pause > Options > Mods > Custom Knight
Select skin. Apply.
Click the Close Button at the bottom of the menu.
Don't hit "B" on controller to leave the menu
so im trying to do a randomizer run but i have no idea what im doing wrong
none of the randomizer mods are working-
what mod installer do i use for void heart edition
Mond installer 1/2
ty
not a modder but does anyone know what might be causing this (i'm running the game on linux)
i've restarted and even reinstalled the game, but the issue doesn't seem to be fixed
Hey! Quick question, where is a good place to find hk skins?

you dont have any mods on, right? just to be sure
no
Ty Idk how I missed that in the pins
is there a gun mod for 1.4
i'm unsure if that might be a driver issue (i have amd card, i'm using radv however i installed the amdgpu-pro drivers for using with obs and stuff, but i'm not using the pro drivers as default, afaik)
Yes
So I had disabled some mods previously which I just enabled. That path that scarab has seems correct but when I start HK it doesn't seem to detect any mods at all. And I have done nothing different from when I previously enabled them. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
Okay, what the fuck... Uh.... Never seen something like that, it's kinda cool though. Does that persist through every save and every room?
Try this. If you're on 1.5 for step 3 install a mod with scarab instead of just opening it
Also, have you tried changing your game resolution?
Thank you so much! Both of those instructions combined worked 😄
Another question, I started a multiplayer randomizer itemsync with my friend. But now we're trying to log back in we have no idea how to reconnect to the itemsync server since we don't see that option anywhere and we'd prefer not to start a new game.
not every room, apparently it only starts when i reach a specific room
Pretty sure it just connects you both automatically when you're both in the save
Both load into your saves and get a check to test it
i tried reinstalling the game and i still have that issue
Did you try changing your game resolution?
No we're not connected, we can't see each other or our names on top. And it doesn't show us connected to any server
but the room is like, i think 3 rooms away from the bench, and until i reach there, the issue doesn't seem to happen
By "On top" do you mean over the knights head? Cause that only happens with HKMP not item sync
i tried running the game through proton, but it lods a different save, i think due to save location - it seems to worek fine there, tho, but i haven't tried that room
i will try more things tomorrow

Well we were using both HKMP and itemsync since we wanted to see each other. And we used these settings :
on the itemsync page to start which also enabled the hkmp stuff automatically
Mmk, 
but i'll try and report you the results back
i still suspect it's a driver issue tho
Uh, no, that doesn't enable the HKMP stuff automatically
The whole IP and room name stuff is just for item sync. It doesn't set up HKMP
If we use hkmp will that interfere with the itemsync stuff? Maybe I thought it connected automatically but it had connection data saved from previous connection tries
No, they should work perfectly fine together seeing as HKMP doesn't have any built in item/progression sync
Have you tried picking up an item while both players are in to make sure it syncs?
Lol easier said than done. Once we find an item we'll see. Thanks again for your patience and the help!
I assume you already have the HKMP stuff figured out, but just in case, there's a public server you can use. IP: hkmp.org Port: 26951 (co-op)
I am just hosting it, and hkmp stuff is working. And we just confirmed that itemsync works (wayward compass for all randomizer needs), so all is good!
I was fighting p4 and at the end instead of pure vessel it was replaced by thk is this because i had the hall of gods extras mod enabled (that mod adds thk and radience to the hall of gods)
you should probably disabled hog extras next time
which mod do I use to play as pure vessel
or radiance
or pale king
couldn't find anything on scarab
There aren't mods for any of those things currently.
Custom Knight allows you to reskin as Pale King (Lime made a PK skin)
I'm pretty sure there's a really old mod to play as PV, but I'm unsure where to find it, and what patches it works on (it wouldn't work on current patch)
i was correct it was the hall of gods extra
does modding work with game pass pc?
I believe if you use some beta version of the xbox game pass app then you can, otherwise it's very complicated. Also gamepass only has 1.4.3.2, so you'll need mod installer 1/2 instead of scarab
I'm trying to use ModInstaller 2 with 1.4.3.2, but I'm encountering an issue where launching Hollow Knight doesn't actually open the game. Steam thinks it's running, but clicking "stop" doesn't change anything; Steam still thinks it's running.
Have you checked task manager (assuming you're on windows)?
I am, task manager doesn't show any instances of Hollow Knight running
I should also add, for Steam to correctly show that the game isn't running, I have to close Steam through Task Manager
If you verify your game integrity (Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files) does it launch?
is there any way to get carefree melody so that it always activates?
At that point, why not just enable invincibility / infinite HP ?

That's the old installer.
It doesn't work for Current Patch, fyi
healing doesnt work for some reason. amount of geo i have doesnt show up, hitting esc key doesnt do anything (menu doesnt show up), my current mods being ran are benchwarp, custom knight, debug mod, fragile strength for nail arts, itemchanger, menuchanger, qol, randomizer 4, randomizer S, satchel and vasi, i am currently on the latest version of HK and using the latest version of scarab as the mod installer
one more thing, whenever i go to pick up an item i can no longer do anything
Have you double checked you have all the dependencies of your mods
I believe you are missing randomizercore
i got randomizercore, however i still have this issue
restarting the game didnt work
You have all the other dependencies?
Yeah looks that way
You should be able to close the menus on the left with f1
f1 doesnt close them
You may just wanna verify game integrity through steam or gog
for some reason my customknight just suddenly completely broke, like the tab to change stuff is completely gone from the mod tab
the only thing I can find is that my customknight version has randomly changed from 1.6.0.0-2ed9d1 to 2.0.0.0-5d6009 in the top left corner
where is the path folder i want to mod hollow knight but i dont know where is the path folder
You can check that easily via steam
ok
It got an update is it in the mods folder?
yeah
Delete the global settings jsons for custom knight the modding api and if you have it benchwarp

i was doing p5 randomizer and after abs rad my hud just disappeared and i can't get it back
What other mods do you use?
what am i doing wrong it just stays gray and crashes after a while
benchwarp, custom knight, debug mod, hkmp, itemchanger mod, menuchanger, QoL
Try using a vpn
Yeah it is supposed to fix it
Have pressed a hot key and checked trough debug menu
caused either by not all 4 scarab files being in the same location, or access to github is being blocked, either by your firewall or internet restrictions
that's why a vpn would help. to get around any local internet restrictions you may have
One message removed from a suspended account.
you cannot easily mod that
what hot key am i supposed to press?
look through the hotkey menu
on the screen
should be backspace for HUD I believe
unless you changed it
is there raeally no other way cos id rather not buy a vpn
you could move to a new country
(assuming it's not the first issue where all scarab files aren't in the same spot)
backspace isn't working and i haven't changed it
then look for what it is in the hotkeys

Hi, my hk folder does not have the "mods" folder, what can I do? because i have this error
can the debug mod clone the minions? i wanna have an army of grimmchilds
I am asking here because the modding staff has more tech support skill than the average person in #hk-help
any way I can fix this?
can anyone pls help?
With what?
with the mod instaler
Yeah but can you elaborate please?
yeah shure
What do you need help with the mod installer
Are you using scarab?
no
Mod installer... do yo know what version your game is?
You need you use scarab for the most recent
Now extract it and download a mod from scarab
Try using hk now
When i try to disable CustomKnight scarab just crashes, what am i doing wrong?
@novel yewDo u now how to instal skins?
Ye
@novel yew do u know what i can do?
Ok now just download any skin you want
Nope, sorry
But you can always tty installing a mod and see if the folder appesrs
tysm
So you have already installed customknight right?
Ok good after you install it from scarab enter the game
did it
In the main menu of the game enter options > mods > custom knight > open skins
It opened a folder right?
no
Go to scarab
Look for a mod called "satchel"
already instaled
wats the best way to make a custom knight reskin? Asking in case there is some way that makes it so I don't have to deal with the sprite sheets as I don't understand how they r laid out /:
when i use multiplayer mod do me and the other person have to have the same modinstaller
so, i tried running with opengl
opengl does not give me that issue at all
however it stutters a lot
yeah but opengl makes the game stutter quite a bunch on my pc, which is an issue for this game as it focus a lot on movement
so, it is a thing with vulkan, but i think it's a misconfiguration on my side as i remember going through that room with no issues at all, on vulkan, about a few months ago
but i also have no idea what it might be
so i'm looking for a way to run it on vulkan without that issue
i tried to install customknight but at first it worked but now its not working
I had the same problem this pin fixed it
#archived-modding-help message
What specifically isn't working?
it isn't showing up when i press options<mods and it doesn't show up
Close your game,
Run this script: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/889031834938265610/Global_Settings_Clear.bat
then open the game and look again.
ok
Custom Knight recently had an update, and sometimes when mods update the Global Settings act wonky
windows defender won't let me run it
xD
More info > Run Anyway
It likely does that because you're trying to run it out of your Downloads folder
oh ok
If you prefer, you can manually delete the files that it would delete.
The other user linked to a general message about deleting Global Settings: <#archived-modding-help message>, but that message doesn't mention customknight.globalsettings.json, which is the one that you need to remove especially.
The script I posted just automatically removes the commonly "messed up" settings files.
If you want to see other players in-game, then you use HKMP
There's a pin about

How to install speedrun mod?
I've been interested in doing casual speedruns of hollow knight and I watched this video by Rusty (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uk0stYcYls&t=1276s) to see the path. He says he has a speedrun mod, created by the user Underlein, that basically ads quality of life stuff and some other patched glitches and skips. I think it's this one (https://github.com/underlein/HollowKnight.SpeedrunMod).
Anyway, can someone give me some intructions or a video on how to fix it? Do I need to downpatch since the mod is from over a year ago? Thanks in advance!
I see, thanks!
anyone know how to install glass soul mod? it says its outdated and i can get other mods to work but no matter what i try i cant get glass soul to work

Scarab
Scarab

alright thanks, im assuming i download and run the program?
alright, thank you!
I just did that aswell but I extracted it to my Hollow knight folder. Was that by any chance a bad idea?
ok im new to modding hollow knight and using scarab however the games just crash on launch
There are 4 files that come out of it, just move these to your desktop @simple hatch
Alright thanks
that scarab tip solved my issue! thanks so much friends!

Yes, you need to do some extra stuff though
Give me a minute to find the guide
Hollow Knight mods on the Xbox Gamepass (for PC) I just found out about this so I can’t really give a very detailed guide on how to do this but I’ll try my best.If you launch the Xbox app (and you also have the gamepass subscription activated) you will be able to install Hollow Knight: Voidhe...
ok thank i would to test mod
this should be pinned btw
does anyone know why my hk is invis? im pretty sur eits because of some peteicular mod i think
I treid restarting th egame
how do i ghet to fight any radiance
That happens if you run out of VRAM on the fight. It happens a lot with mods in 1432 (especially ones that do a lot of cosmetic stuff, like CustomKnight); it doesn't happen much to people in 1578
the link to the mod its in pins, but i think is only 1.4
so i gotta swtich to 1.5
1.5 version was posted in #modding-discussion today:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610754780461006848/940533846586302464/Any_Radiance1578.dll
oh lol
I mean, that's up to you? You can do whatever you wanna do 
i mean i kinda gotta make thk not invis
Restarting the game resets the VRAM it's taking. That alone can be enough to fix it for some people. You can also disable the higher resource intensive mods like Custom Knight.
Like, you have lots of options
i did tho
Although, tbh it's really silly to still be on 1432
also how do you disable a custom implemteted mod
im just to lazy to switch ;-;
Drag and drop it into Disabled
Ok thanks
What exactly happened
hi, most of the mods seem to be working on my system except the room to room randomizer. have i missed a setting?
What do you mean by room to room randomizer. Is it the specific setting on your rando and what is randomizer version:
Rando 4
Rando 3?
d
i just want the area to area transitions to send me to random parts of the map
So you want an area to area room rando
yes
Connected area randomizer is the setting you are looking for
thank you!
how do i make infinite grimm finite?
basically how do i config the infinite grimm mod
does the deco master on scarab not work?
no it works
ok, it keeps invalidating my game or something
Hey y'all I'm new to trying out mods so I don't really know how all this works. I was hoping to play around with the Enemy Randomizer mod, but it's not listed in the scarab menu. Does anyone know how to make that available/ do I need to download it separately?
It's not on 1.5
I'm playing the Hollow Point mod, but I can't find the readme in Scarab. is there a way to see this?
In the mods folder
Hello, i have a problem with the mod, i'm trying to play but it wont let me put the game in full screen, i have a monitor of 30 inches, i don't know if that is the reason or what
Have you tried pressing alt - enter ? (Prob ye)
How do I edit the liquid.png texture in custom knight creator, it crashes when I try to insert it
Isn't it literally just 1 frame..? Just put the whole thing in your art program and draw on it
Is there a mod that gives a list on what you need to 112% the game
no, the liquid.png is this, the one you're talking about is orbfull.png
a broken up version of this image wasn't provided in the hollow knight skins google drive thingy in the tutorial I watched
Hello, how can I enable "Toggleable Bindings" ?
Ah, well I don't think CKC was updated to include that, tho maybe i'm wrong. Either way, CKC just separates the sprite sheets and then recompiles it, drawing over it will work fine anyways. Also that was what I was thinking of, I just thought it was a single frame but I guess I was wrong
Hold the down direction and tap the cdash button
Thanks dude
anyone know what the hotkey is for the debug menu

well, thanks for the info
Extract the file to desktop
what should i do ?
Are you trying to open the dll?
when i download the dll file it show me this
Just after downloading?
Weird
Until you have a config that auto opens the thing you downloaded
I think that exists
Can you close it an the dll would still be there?
no if i close it it will just closed
Okay, but is there a file?
what kind of file
do you see this?
yup
Then you're good, you're not supposed to open that
soo i just have to open the game or what
You're supposed to put it into your mods folder
Go to scarab > press Open mods > create a new file in the folder that opens > put the dll file inside that folder

where do i find the mod menu after i install it, to enable and disable mods?
IN-game/title screen > pause > options > mods
to enable and disable mods?
you have to do this in scarab while the game is closed
yeah where is the scarab folder though?
mkay
i downloaded it and then extracted it there
oh wait i think i downloaded the mod installer 2 not the scarab
if that was the problem idk
what's the mod installer for 1.2.2.1?
bro idk ive been sitting here a while and i haven't got like any answers
what's the issue you have?
there isn't one
im on linux and its just really weird with installing most things
including mods
I have windows, cant help ya there. So just use modded live patch for practice?
xd
whats the mod installer link?
check pinned messages
ok ty
What's the issue though?
im trying to download the mod and theres not really a clear thing telling me what to do
It's very simple, download the installer, run the app, check the boxes next to "Installed?" for the mods you want
also im new linux as well so yay
sure ill try that
Can I edit the randomizer charm notch settings after the game starts? I know I can start with certain items but I just want a file that I can edit notch costs if that is possible?
I’m doing a Rick run and want to make sure the charms that affect the sprites (flukenest, defenders crest, glowing womb, unns, etc) are all affordable and will want to start with glowing womb (Morty)
You can probably edit your user#.modded.json file to edit the costs if they end up being too expensive-- or just give yourself more Notches 
im having trouble with the scarab mod installer
when i launch the game none of the mods that i have installed and enabled are showing up
try this
but for step 3
install/reinstall a mod
this worked, thank you!
I'm using my D drive for Hollow Knight, but spritepacker can only search my C drive and will not work no matter what I do, so I went looking for a labeled spritesheet. JoCat's link is down, so unless someone saved it a while back, I'm not sure what to do aside from just painstakingly find the sprites myself
that's because godump, which is used to get the sprites for spritepacker, dumps the sprites in your saves folder, not your game folder
What do i do when it says unable to locate files?
It's a setting in inferno king grimm
What installer?
Nvm fixed it
so what version does scarab work on, i cant find 1.5 from steam betas
1.5 is current patch, it's not a beta, set it to "None"
oh okay, thanks
do you guys know if i need Hamachi for multiplayer?
is it mandatory?
Hey! I have some trouble with the customknight mod. When I instal the mod it does not appear under settings/mods in the game (reloaded the game too).
im using scarab, current patch and satchel is installed too
Just tried yesterday. Scarab 1.5 works fine with current patch which is 1.5.78 or someting i think. But sometimes buggy with some mods.

can debug mod clone the companions like grimmchild and the weaverlings? i wanna try stupid stuff
my debug mod isnt working
it says check modlog
idk how to read it its way too complicated for my smooth brain to handle
so can anyone help
Debug mod broke
screenshot your debug mod folder
delete the pdb and xml files
ok and does this fix it?
well that's what we're trying, innit
ok let me try if it does than
how do i fix the bug with enemy randomizer mod where i can't move?
check your keybinds
i keep getting unity errors
like its loading the mods and than just a popup of the knights face pops up starts loading something of its own and when its done my game closed
closes*
ok the game is open now
but it still says failed to initialize! check ModLog.txt
What's the internal name for Kingsmoulds? I'm trying to get one in GetPreloadNames() using ("White_Palace_20", "Royal Gaurd"), which is what it seems to be in FSM; what's wrong?
@rigid glacier #archived-modding-development
@merry oxide try deleting your global settings file
It's called DebugMod.globalsettings.json in the samedirectory as the modlog
why is hkmp enabled on my mod list in hollow knight even if i don't have it downloaded?
is it included in the scarab itself or sth?
It depends on what you mean by "mods list"
this thing
Then you have it downloaded
i don't
Yeah, Scarab doesn't actually check your mod folder
i even reinstalled scarab but it's still here
If you reinstall Scarab or reset it's memory, it won't know which mods you have
You can manually remove hkmp, or click to install it with Scarab (which will link HKMP to it again)
okay i just deleted its folder and it's working fine now

Re open game
Heyo! So i want to install mods, and i installed modinstaller. But i have hollow knight from xbox game pass, and i can't locate where the hollow knight files are. And without them i can direct modinstaller into the folder. Any help on where it is?
so i download scarab for updates 1.5 and over?
anyone nows how to instal mods with xbox game pass?
im wondering the same thing
you could try to search it up?
it dosent apear anything
i cant find where the .exe file is located, so i can't install modinstaller correctly
microsoft encrypts the files
there is an apparent method floating around but you'd have to really search to find it
no one's even said if it works so we just say no you can't mod it
@tribal elm @shell python found it, but again idk if it works https://docs.google.com/document/d/13m-jJqI_Sk-rqoX9YO2T7ucvwP5DIMbf3wkmVSlm2WI/edit
Hollow Knight mods on the Xbox Gamepass (for PC) I just found out about this so I can’t really give a very detailed guide on how to do this but I’ll try my best.If you launch the Xbox app (and you also have the gamepass subscription activated) you will be able to install Hollow Knight: Voidhe...
thank you! ill tell you if it works or not
thanks
1.4 means youll have to use modinstaller 1 or 2, (not scarab) and since the file directory looks weird, the modinstaller might yell at you saying you haven't bought the game (maybe)
i have a problem with scarab
i checkmark the square for any mod that says installed and it just closes
??
hello?
is your game open
you have to close it
ok lemme try
Hey @tribal elm, did you find the "Use advanced installation and management feature"? Because i can't find it in the general section
it was the same problem with me lol
Anyone nows how to change were mod instaler2 is?
i have hollow knight at steam and xbox game pass, i want to uninstall from steam and install at xbox game pass
Why?
I have been trying to get Hollow Point working and I can get the mod to run in my game but I can't use my spells bc they're bound to the same key that swaps nail/gun. I've tried reverting my game to 1.4.3.2 and using Mod Manager as well but none of the mods I use on that one even appear in my game.
I've tried using Mod Manager on 1.4 and Scarab on 1.5
My quick cast button swaps the firing angle
@west bane My game is in 1,4,3,2 does that mean i should still use mod installer?
i never heard of that version
Hello, my friends and i wanted to start a HKMP Server with ZeroTier but when we try to host there is nothing happening and if we use the HKMPServer.exe it doesn't connect too can someone help us ?
Im choosing the right Path, but it's saying it doesn't find hollow knight
Mmhm
try HKData
That what i was gonna say but idk if i was wrong
"Invalid path selected" "Please select the correct installation path for Hollow knight"
you might have to manual from there or copy paste that entire folder (essentially duplicate your hk save)
For the Windows App version, iirc you either need to be opted into some beta that Windows is doing for games (which allows them to be moddable), or you need to use a third party program to copy the entire folder somewhere else.
god it really is easier to tell people you just can't mod that version, what a PITA lmao
There's an HKMP guide linked in the pins.
You don't need the Server.exe unless you're planning on running the server without being in the game.
The guide covers what you need to do for Zero Tier, but it essentially is
- use website to make a network
- ask players use app to connect to that network
- verify on website that everyone is "online" (green checkmark by name on website)
- the person Hosting HKMP needs to give everyone else their Managed IP from the app
I used the guide but when we try to connect to each other we get a connection failed
Yeah, it does that if you aren't pressing a direction when using it.
If you haven't yet, read the ReadMe for it (if it's not in the mod folder for it, then just look it up online)
I gave you the steps.
You can re-read the guide, but if it's failing, then you didn't follow it correctly.
What aren't you using the Steam version? This makes no sense tbh.
there is no mod for skins for version 1.15?
where can I download the skin mods for version 1.5?
In scarab
is there a tutorial on how to do it?
Its very easy
is this first link?

is there a enemy randomizer for 1.5 scarab
no
sad
1)download scarab
2)unzip it
3)run scarab
4)click install box for customknight
5) follow pin to download and install skin packs
will mods work on steam deck?
steam deck is basically a pc, so sure
is there a linux mod loader?
ye
can anyone tell me a mod i can use
pail curt
I give it to install customs knight and it gives me a file error in win rar and I don't know what to do
the skin mods
What are you trying to open with winrar?
scarab
Don't bother with winrar, just use windows to extract it
and from where I extract it from windows
right click it, it's somewhere in there
I don't know, it's where the scarab link sends me
no
Click on one of these
this is what i'm trying to download
Whatever matches your OS
left or right click?
Left
Ok, click on that one that’s “Scarab.exe”
It opens this for me but I give it to install where it says custom knight and it puts the download of the mod in the scarab win rar file
Did you try changing the path
I do not know how to do it
You click on it
extract the zip
Bottom left hand corner
yes, and what route do I put?
does modding the game disable achievements?
nop
yes, and what route do I put?
but surely enabling invincibility will?
no, you can
and get all success by abusing debug mod
huh
can I mod the xbox game pass edition ?
well, I "completed" P3 and P4, but Steam didn't give me the achievements
Well, kinda
this is where I have the hollow knight. Do I have to make a new folder or something?
I used Scarab, idk if that helps
No
It’ll download the folder automatically
Yeah
Yeah mhm
last question, how do I add more skins?
esque only one appears to me, the one from swaperdemo
is that*
And where do I add them to have them saved in the game?
In the custom knight folder
Which can be found in your mods folder
Inside “Managed”

where is your scarab folder at
move it to desktop and make sure you have all 4 files in it
Can i manually install mods without scarab? No right?
sure you can
Try opening scarab now
Your welcome its not like if i just said open it
I clicked check on the Installed? for custom knight and it closed
You installing while hk is open?
Lol
