Erm

#

gimme a sec

craggy anchor
#

is there a CustomKnight mod that works outside of the Mod API? With 1221?

wooden oracle
#

sure dw

novel yew
#

No

#

1221 only has debug

twilit crescent
#

@wooden oracle

Try creating a file called

ItemChangerMod.GlobalSettings.json

with contents

{
  "PreloadSettings": {
    "PreloadLevels": {
      "PreloadGeoRocks": 1,
      "PreloadSoulTotems": 1,
      "PreloadGrub": 0,
      "PreloadMimic": 0
    }
  },
  "ItemSettings": {
    "extraSheets": []
  },
  "LocationSettings": {
    "extraSheets": []
  }
}

in the saves directory

rip

novel yew
#

No other mod exists for 1221

wooden oracle
#

oh yea that fixed it

#

@twilit crescent thank you so much

craggy anchor
#

also, should i make a separate copy of my HK steamapps folder to use with 1221 vs current patch?

#

or will it work fine on the same one.

#

i have a separate one with debug installed, i just mean for general use

novel yew
#

You should imo

#

Latest patch has a ton of mods

#

also 1221 doesnt have godmaster dlc i think

#

lemme look

#

oh not only doesn't have godmaster dlc

#

It doesn't have lifeblood dlc either

craggy anchor
#

i understand. i play on both patches

#

i just mean is it prudent to have separate HK folders for each patch

#

i only use 1221 for speedruns

novel yew
#

Yeah thats better than changing the version everytime imo

So I downloaded Scarab earlier, installed CustomKnight and Satchel, downloaded 2 skins (Summer and GrimmKnight) and the skins look like they apply, but everytime I press escape to leave the menu and get back to the game, the menu closes but the game is frozen and it is still dark like when the menu is up.

Hollow Knight mods on the Xbox Gamepass (for PC)

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...

My friend and I were able to do itemsync, but we cant join the same server. anyone know why?

native ice

#

yes

native ice
#

What are you using? Public server, zerotier, hamachi, or portforwarding?

#

zero tier

native ice

And the host clicked the start server button, and then everyone connected to the hosts ip?

Where can I get the dead cells skin for the game? Can't find it in the pinned links

#

Thanks

native ice
vague gate
#

yes

#

Then I'd say maybe just try using the public server ||IP: HKMP.org Port: 26951 (co-op)|| or go over the instructions again and make sure you've got the right IP

vague gate
#

ok thanks ill try it out

south marsh
#

@native ice I am having a similar issue, and you kinda seem like you know what you are doing. I am trying to play randomizer with a friend, but he can never connect to a server I make and I can't connect to one when he makes it. How can I solve this? Is there a certain port or IP?

native ice
#

^

#

Here's the multiplayer guide

#

Or like i told the other person, you can use the public server

south marsh
#

Ok, so i can host an IP through zerotier?

native ice
#

Yes, zerotier connects you and your friends and also gives you an ip to use for it

#

follow the guide to use zerotier

south marsh
#

Ok, thank you so much!

it just does this on older patches when in a save

karmic plume
#

So should I bother fixing it? Also whenever I turn of customknight it gets rid of my health and the thing around the soul bar.

real jacinth
#

you suggesting you're going to rewrite the mods?

#

to fix a UI bug on an old patch?

#

and yeah, when you turn off a UI/skin pack mod, not surprising that your UI does weird things

#

so dunno what you're asking here

karmic plume
#

I guess nothing then.

#

Is there any reason not to go to a new patch?

native ice
#

If you want one of the mods that aren't available on 1.5

abstract badger
#

Enemy rando and a few modes bosses

native ice
#

or if 1.5 is buggy for you which happens rarely

Get the qol mod from scarab or modinstaller 1/2

Note: Current patch (1.5.78) is Scarab
Mod Installer 1/2 are for 1.4.3.2

My save crashed when I loaded it with some weird mod combos (empty save) and brought me to the main menu. Closed out to change the mods and now regardless of mods (turned them all off just to check) the game gets a unity error and crashes immediately upon running. No idea how to fix it

What does QoL do

Faster text, cutscene skips, boss scream skips, adds old bugs from 1.2.2.1 (speedrun patch) back into the game, such as epogo, inventory drop, levers through walls, etc

for some reason item changer is messing up my mods and not letting any mods load into the game cuz I'm tryna do randomizer but item changer is messing up my mods

#

what do I do

real jacinth
#

dunno what you're talking about

dry current
#

item changer is messing up the API

real jacinth

i doubt that

dry current
#

not letting any mods load in

#

come to general I can show you

real jacinth
#

no

dry current
#

ok

real jacinth
#

itemchanger is a required dependency for randomizer 4

#

so you're probably doing something wrong

dry current
# real jacinth no

and why do you doubt that whenever I turn off item changer my mods load in when I turn it on they dont

what do you want me to share

i use customknight mod because i wanna play with a skin. im doing p3 and the game crashes when i reach god tamer or grimm. ive disabled the mod and got past these without crashing so i think it might be the mod

pliant lantern
#

You might be having a hardware issue. Custom Knight shouldn't be causing your whole game to crash, but it can cause your game to use more VRAM then it might normally use. If your GPU is having issues, then your game may crash though

it cannot detect my hollow knight installation

#

Hello, for some reason custom knight doesn't seem to work anymore after updating from scarab even though all other mods work just fine. Am i missing something?

short lion
#

theres other custom knight folder

#

delete it

#

only if you used custom knight with mod intaller 1 or 2

sinful hatch
#

Are there enemies that you literally just can't spawn in the custom trial mod? I couldn't spawn Tiktiks, and now it refuses to work with Hornheads. Do these enemies just not work with the mod?

short lion
#

i dont know

sinful hatch
#

:/

short lion
#

i didnt know there was custom trial mod

paper radish
#

i've tried deleting it before including the mod folder in general
still doesn't seem to work

short lion
#

will i dont know

paper radish
#

ok thanks anyway

native ice
native ice
sinful hatch
#

Right now I have hornheads as "Husk Hornhead" and I wrote tiktik as "Tiktik". Maybe it wants "Huskhornhead" or "Husk hornhead" ?

native ice
#

I'd try and figure out what youd need to put but I'm already off my pc

#

Some enemies have development names that aren't what you expect, like nosk is called "mimic spider", though I can't tell you if those are what custom trial uses

sinful hatch
#

Oh alright, I'll see if that's the case with those ones. Those names would be on the wiki pages right?

native ice
#

Have you tried looking at the other custom trials?

paper radish
#

i was using custom knight with scarab on the latest patch of the game but when i opened it yesterday custom knight didn't show up on mods
after checking scarab it showed that it needed an update (custom knight) i updated it and it still doesn't show up

hes sus of the links i gave him

native ice
#

Idk what to tell you

novel bronze
#

sigh

#

any tips on how to make him downlad scarab

native ice
#

The links are perfectly safe, plenty of people use Scarab, this is an official server and is partnered with discord, we're not distributing viruses. If they don't want to use it then that's their choice. I'll add that if they don't want to use zerotier for a private server, there's a Public one that's easy to use. Ip: HKMP.org Port: 26951 (co-op)

sinful hatch
#

I can see why tiktik maybe wouldn't work, as it would probably need a platform to be spawned on, and it would be difficult to check if a platform is underneath a tiktik everytime it's spawned maybe.. So it would kind of make sense that the tiktik wouldn't work then, but idk why Hornhead doesn't work lol

Ah, probably not then

#

Is it just not there?

wheat orchid
#

Maybe, I mean it’s a long task to search the game for every enemy, easy to miss some

sinful hatch
#

True

#

Can I add it myself in some way?

wheat orchid
#

Not unless you know how to program

sinful hatch
#

I know a bit

wheat orchid
#

Do you know c#?

cosmic vine
#

Even if I enable them I'm not seeing any difference

sinful hatch
#

I'm learning it

cosmic vine
#

How do I change skins in this? Maybe that'll confirm if it works

twilit crescent
#

Well if it's a bug it's best to just report the bug (I can do it)

wheat orchid
#

So if you enable CustomKnight and ModCommon right now, neither show up in the list of mods at the top left?

sinful hatch
# wheat orchid Do you know c#?

If the file you sent comes with the mod, would it then not be as simple as copying an entry and then just changing the names?

Is the file structure on your skins correct. The file structure should be like in the image.

Sometimes there are extra folders

the little green knight is a thing with decomaster

wheat orchid

i dont even have hkmp downloaded

So a mod depends on another mod

yeah I thought so

wheat orchid
abstract badger
cosmic vine
#

I didn't put there anything, they're just here after installing the rar-s

wheat orchid
#

Wdym

cosmic vine

they just.. appeared

wheat orchid
#

How do you “install” a rar

novel bronze
wheat orchid
cosmic vine
#

i mean in mod installer it requires a rar

abstract badger
novel bronze
#

yes

#

i swapped back for absrad mods and to see if deco master would work (this problem persists on 1.5)

wheat orchid
#

For skins you extract a .rar or other archive then put the folder in the CustomKnight folder

cosmic vine
#

oh so that's were it went wrong, I'll try it again

wheat orchid
#

I’ll send a guide by fireborn

abstract badger
novel bronze
#

that does not help

cosmic vine
#

nothing

#

wait do I require a hollow knigh data folder?

wheat orchid
#

Wdym

#

Screenshot the CustomKnight folder currently

cosmic vine
wheat orchid
#

No

#

That looks like it’s the folder for a skin you accidentally installed the wrong way

#

The folder will be called exactly “CustomKnight”

#

It’s in hollow_knight_Data/Managed/mods

#

You can also look at the guide I sent

cosmic vine
#

oh my god

abstract badger
# novel bronze

Do you know why there are three different things regarding debug typically there is only a .dll

wheat orchid
#

Also hollow point-master is the SOURCE CODE for hollow point. If you meant to install hollow point you can just do it through a mod installer. You can’t do anything with the code

Oh congrats how come every time I ask someone to do it it is fixed be for they can and I don’t have to look through mod log textweaverparty

wheat orchid
#

Same 😔

sinful hatch
#

Btw how do I make comments in the code? I only know it in python where you have to put a '#' in front of text. How do you do it here?

wheat orchid
#

// means everything beyond that point in the line is a comment

novel bronze
sinful hatch
#

Thx

wheat orchid
#

/* means everything from that point in the line, through other lines until it reaches */ is a comment

sinful hatch
#

Now it says comments aren't permitted in JSON :'(

wheat orchid
#

Yeah can’t in json files

sinful hatch
#

Sad

wheat orchid
#

In c# (.cs) it’s fine

sinful hatch
#

Alright

#

I'll just make a separate text file and note down where I need to change stuff later lol

wheat orchid
#

@spiral tangle everything going well?

spiral tangle
#

here is the log

sinful hatch
#

It says it's missing a lot of files

wheat orchid
#

That’s fine

#

Not all skins have to implement every file

sinful hatch
#

Huh

#

Neat

wheat orchid
#

Also

#

This ModLog seems outdated

#

It’s from ver 1.4.3.2 of the game

spiral tangle
#

so i should run on 1.4?

wheat orchid
#

No

#

Was the file you got this from called ModLog.txt or ModLog-numbers.txt

cosmic vine
#

I got everything but still nothing

spiral tangle
#

modlog.txt

wheat orchid
# spiral tangle modlog.txt

Try deleting both CustomKnight.globalsettings files in the save files path (make sure the game is closed first)

wheat orchid
cosmic vine
wheat orchid
#

And you deleted every globalsettings file in the save files path?

cosmic vine
#

do I delete logs in oldmodlog?

wheat orchid
#

You can, doesn’t matter

cosmic vine
wheat orchid
#

Try also deleting the combos.settings files

spiral tangle
#

only this

wheat orchid
#

Hmmm

cosmic vine
#

nothing happened

wheat orchid
wheat orchid
# spiral tangle

Not sure if this will work, but try uninstalling and reinstalling CustomKnight

#

Make sure to back up any skins before doing it

cosmic vine
wheat orchid
#

Try disabling every mod, then start the game and see if it says ModdingApi at the top left

cosmic vine
#

you mean
everything?
like also the cores?

wheat orchid
#

Everything

cosmic vine
#

nothing happened

wheat orchid
#

Try going to steam, right click hollow knight, click properties, click local files, click browse then screenshot file explorer

vagrant hamlet
#

so i want to make a simple sprite changing mod, how do i change the sprite of several game assets e.g. radiance and her projectiles

wheat orchid
#

You can either 1. Use CustomKnight on 1.5 or 2. Make your own mod.

vagrant hamlet
#

can i use customknight 1.5 on scarab?

wheat orchid
#

CustomKnight for/on 1.5 is the only one on scarab as scarab is for ver 1.5 of hollow knight

vagrant hamlet
#

oh alright

#

i installed and enabled scarab

cosmic vine
vagrant hamlet
#

where do i configure it?

wheat orchid
#

I’ll send you a link to the hollow knight modding discord where there’s people more experience with CustomKnight…

wheat orchid
vagrant hamlet
#

yeah i know

#

i installed it on scarab

wheat orchid
#

Ah ok

wheat orchid
vagrant hamlet
#

alright then

wheat orchid
#

Try closing mod installer, going to steam, right click hollow knight, go to properties, local files, but click verify. Then tell me if files failed to validate (aka ModdingApi was installed) or not

cosmic vine
#

success, but it was only this file

unknown.png
wheat orchid
#

Go back to mod installer

#

See if the topmost button on the bottom says enable or disable

cosmic vine
#

everything is enabled

wheat orchid
#

Can you click the disable ModdingApi button then click it again?

cosmic vine
#

still nothing, I'm sorry :c

spiral tangle
#

customknight skins are not showing

wheat orchid
spiral tangle
#

yes

wheat orchid
#

Skins are in the wrong place

#

In 1.4.3.2 they go directly in the CustomKnight folder

spiral tangle
#

i did that

wheat orchid
#

Screenshot it

wheat orchid
spiral tangle
wheat orchid
#

Zip files don’t work…

#

You need to extract them

#

Only folders containing files work

spiral tangle
#

yeah but when i do that the game just sees it as a default one

#

does not change anything

abstract badger
#

So what exactly is happening. Mods aren’t appearing in game?

real locust
#

yeah

#

I think I was using the wrong beta version, the 32 bit one, right?

abstract badger
#

Not for scarab

wheat orchid
#

Are you trying to use scarab or another mod installer

#

Scarab: wrong ver
Other: right ver

real locust
#

Ok

#

using Scarab

#

so that's a no, got it

wheat orchid
#

You want the None beta

real locust
#

alright

#

then I still don't know what I did wrong

abstract badger
#

The pins have two separate fixes on that fixes the loading saves and one that is linked in the downpatching guide

wheat orchid

I’d help more but I gtg

red crow

I'm also having scarab problems, I haven't been able to see any fixes in the pins but I might have just missed it. Even though I have mods selected they aren't there when I start the game. There's also no "mods" options in the settings

#

The scarab mods should all work for 1.5 right? I can't get the debug mod, custom knight, god soul, or any mod to show up or work

So I had previously been using the first mod installer, I deleted that mod installer (as far as I'm aware), reinstalled the game (a few times now) and installed scarab. Here's the information for what I have. I tried deleting the assembly-Csharp files and then using verify integrity. I now have no csharp files at all and the modding API still won't appear in the top left of the title screen. I don't know what I need to do to get mods actually working

I'm using Scarab for the first time today after reverting the game back to vanilla 1.4.3.2, and installed HKMP, Custom Knight, and Satchel. However when I try loading the game from steam, it doesn't open. I've tried checking the integrity on the game's files on Steam, and it works- but then when the game opens, it doesn't show any mods are working.

Can anyone help?
