I wouldn't call you non-smart considering the people we see...
much respect to you...
can some help me im opening the scarab for mac and it just closed instantly
Scarab doesn't open correctly on MacOS
🔹 Move the file you downloaded (mac.zip) to your Desktop
🔹 Double-Click it, and Scarab should appear
🔹 Right-Click the Scarab icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file
tysm 
one more thing is the muiltiplayer cross platform
If by platform you mean between operating systems, yes. It's also compatible between two game versions. If you're talking about for consoles, no since you can't mod them
^
Try this
I'm playing on mac, and just downloaded mod installer and downpatched to 1.4.3.2, but whenever I try to run hollow knight, it gives me a steam error and a message saying I don't have permission to run it. I'm stumped, can someone help me pls
32-bit users should use the 1.4.3.2 version You can install our last 32-bit compatible version by right-clicking Hollow Knight in your Steam library, click Properties, Betas, and select 1.4.3.2.

it only has it for windows
It's the same
^
The only difference is getting to the mods folder, but you can do that by just pressing "Open Mods" on scarab
What about it didn't work?
Did you restart after putting it in? Does the skin name show up but it stays default or does it just not exist?
not exist
And the first part?
Is the swapper demo skin there?
yes
Can you open the skin folder and screenshot it, including the file pathing?
hey how do i fix randomizer cas when i make new game and when i joined the game get stuck
and i got here by scarab
no, like could you open the starbunny folder

Hmm, real quick, can you try deleting the "Swapper Demo" folder and then loading the game to see if that skin still shows up in the menu

That's where 1.4 custom knight skins are, in 1.5 its options > mods > custom knight > select skin
oh
It lets you have more than 4 saves, gives you extra pages on the save select screen
it still didnt work? i have the default skin?
Did you click apply skin?
yes


I'm not really sure how to fix your issue, sorry
thats ok also i dont really need to play randomizer
Forgot to answer, they don't have anything explicitly saying they can't be, so I'd say you can probably ping them.
I done those and i'm still default
@analog sphinx can you please help me with ckc,it keeps crashing everytime i pack sprites
umm im trying to mod hollow knight can anyone give me a link to the installer?
Quick question, does the autosplitter still work with mods?

Which one? custom knight?
yup
that's the only one mod i've installed
Custom knight pin fix #4
more cuz scarab says its not safe ive dealt with synapse x
but im a scripter
and i got a lot of money on this machine so no
Would we really put a virus in a tc supported server
i want radiance one
yes
You want it but you need scarab
you could always down patch
wut
i just want to use the modinstaller not scarab
idk
even how to install scarab
and
this one right
whos 56 man
Oh sorry it is fix 5 but yeah
Oh do it any way it might still work
Scarab is open source so you can check out the code for yourself to look for any viruses. Or just look at the pins
i installed it
it's fine it says that cuz unkown publisher i think but
one question
is there a mod thats like god mode invincibility or just any sandbox mod
Debug

so i was trying to install scarab, when i want to launch the installer i got this, does anyone know how to fix?
i want to practice my speedrun tricks, so i've been trying to setup debug mod and mod console, but for some reason when I have them enabled and i start up hollow knight, i just get a black screen. I'm on 1.2.2.1 and have been using the regular modinstaller. Should I use scarab? or Modinstaller 2?
There isnt a mod installer for 1221
ive tried doing it manually as well and it yeilds the same result
Where did you get your game ?
You may have better luck asking in the #hk-help in the speerunning server.
from steam?
You are running the latest patch right ? Then I’m not sure from where your problem is coming, you might have messed up the download somehow
Did you extract scarab to your desktop
Try verifying the the files in steam. That worked for me
yeah i am running the latest patch
i did
ah alright ill try that first, i havent tried doing that yet
Anyone happens to have the twp pale king skin?
Still doesn't work
The glasscannon mod is working but the custom knight is not
@abstract badger help
@novel bronze , try opening the modloader for scarab
The thing you used to install the mods
how do i remove the mod ui from the menu?
does anyone know if there's a way to get the god soul area effects like the exploding enemies in crossroads without the duplicated enemies. because those look fun but I'm nowhere near good enough for the extra enemies
now what
Does scarab work with xbox pass?
i have installed scarab but how do i downloud mods / activate them?
so you run the application which you can find in the unzipped folder
and then you just click "install" on the mods you want
yeah
and then you close scarab and launch hollow knight in 1.5
do i have to press installed?
tysm
make sure to close scarab before you open hollow knight though
okay ty for the helpp
np
I downpatched to 1.4.3.2 so I could fight ultimatum radiance, then when I switched back to 1.5, this started popping up when I try to open hk
uhm quick thing with skins, how do i get them? like i know i can find them sometimes in skin videos, but what if they arent listed?
nevermind, I just disabled the modding api; works fine now

how do i install mods that are not in the installer2 list? i found a mod on Nexus i wanted to install but i couldn't find it in the Mod installer itself
i dont think mods can go on xbox...
Thanks
np
Yes
You shouldn’t be using either nexus or the moddinstaller 2
The pin have most info
It mostly doesn’t, some complicated methods exist but it’s much easier to buy the game on sale somewhere on steam or GoG if possible
Some skins are private, some are in the pinned comment
oh gotcha
Also, another question, does a client-side multiplayer mod exist? Like, splitscreen coop?
yea sorry
check on the active tab if the custom knight mod is active,
how do I save my levels made with DecorationMaster as a file that I can send to others?
if that's possible
anyone know why the pure vessel skin for CustomKnight doesn't work?
is there a folder with another folder inside of it? that happened to me with a different skin once, and it wouldn't work
the second folder having the skin inside of it
so it was working fine until you clicked fix/reload skin?
no it wasn't loading but its working now thanks 👍
alright
It will automatically save what you make. To share go into your mods folder and find decoration master data folder. Take all the files in there and either directly send them or zip them up in a zip folder and send all together. For a friend to use them they just need to move the room files you sent them to their decoration master data folder and play the game.
oh okay, thanks so much
can I put stuff in boss fights?
because I'm trying to make markoth with spikes covering the platforms
and have it save
I would guess this is because you have impossible settings. Such as having an outside mod with the setting no dark rooms enabled but also having dark rooms selected in required skips. Or you are possibly missing a dependency
You can do anything in any room and it will save even in godhome
okay, thank you
Yes
The pins have a guide on how to play split screen

ok om going to eat rn, so i cant answer for a little bit @novel bronze
but you should go and check of the mod is active in the modloader, if its not, it will not appear ingame
Scarab doesn’t but there is a way to use modinstaller 1/2
neither will it if you acceldeantely misscliked and uninstalled it
Double check you have Ck dependency satchel for 1.5 and mod common for 1.4
It is
I have satchel
It just weird
How do I install the hollow-point mod?
what version of hk are you using?
Go into your saves folder and delete all the files with global settings.json in their name
Never heard of it
Sure thing
Get it from a mod installer
?saves here is the location paste the path in run
Saves
Windows File Paths: (Assumes Default Steam Install Path, Adjust accordingly for DRM Free or Non-Standard Steam Path)
Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\``` ** ** Mac File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/``` ** ** Linux File Paths: ```Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/```
so this is what happens when i try to install mods what sould i do?
Hold on
reload
its just a temporary bug
i tried it for like 3 times already
?pins
oh, then try cliking on the save on the top
nope..
There is a fix at the bottom of the pins it says loading saves but it should still work
i had the same problem, it should say loading
Done
What is the mod installer I should use and where do I find it? (For hollow-point)
Now open the game
what version of the game are you using
Hm
?I get the one that corresponds to your patch

what is the port
It can be anything from 2222-99999 but 26950 is recommended
Where do I find it? Should I look it up or is it on scarab?
Look in the bottoms left of you r main menu and tell me the number
I use 1.4.3.2
Then get modinstaller 2 however I would recommend up-patch to 1.5
I use it for randomizer
There is an updated rando on 1.5
It is almost like there are a lot of reasons to 
if I wanted to change path for my scarab mod on mac, what should I do?
Then open scarab and hit change path
@abstract badger and @crude shadow
Very cool
Been stuck for 3 days and don't even know what's json files
done that, but once I select the app, it tells me "Invalid Hollow Knight app! Missing Managed folder or Assembly-CSharp!"
That means you are selecting the wrong path
You should end in selecting the hollow knight folder
Not the app
got it
Unless you're sorry playing MultiWorld or Enemy Randomizer, there are far better Randomizer things on current patch
Can you type the link?
Are there "a lot" anymore? I feel like there's very few reasons these days

To what? How to up-patch or modinstaller 2 both are in the pins
Sorry somehow I didn't notice
I suppose that’s true may have been a bit of an over statement
Tbf, it was more true until like, a week ago. A few people just started porting a bunch of the older mods .
how do you make a custom trial?
What key do I press to switch between the nail and gun?
how do i solve?
The focus button, but make sure that you've saved and quit if you're on a new save. The mod doesn't work on brand new saves.
Thanks
Hey everyone, been a long time since I modded and I have an old ModInstaller version, how do you beta the game now? Should I change my ModInstaller?
How do I heal?
Don't get hit 
Ok. Thank you
Check the pins 
Re-install Randomizer 4 and the mod with Lever Rando. And then probably double check your settings to make sure that you don't have settings that don't make sense together.
I accidently placed something with decorationmaster, but I don't know how to delete it
I tried hitting it with a nail
oh, I'm just dumb
didn't realize I had to hit it from the side
thank you
I also know that you can configure stuff that you place too, but I don't know how
could somebody help me, please?
Before you place it, you can rotate. I think it's by clicking mouse wheel?
Where do i download the normal game for free?
oh, okay, thank you
Get out of here with that, please
Piracy is not something that is supported in pretty much any "main" community for a game, and that includes modding communities.
HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version and the official GoG version.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.
Theres some pinned on other channels that is like some free hollow knight
Im just lazy to do it
No there isn't?
The Hollow knight KS beta is pinned in #modding-discussion
But that's not the game itself lol
done, it doesn't work the same
I did this but I can't delete it
because when I spawn in, I get hit with spikes, and invincibility doesnt work
You can delete the .Json for that room
already did
It's in the decoration Master data folder
That gets rid of them
do I have to close the game when I delete it?
Yes
Maybe post in #randomizer , and include your modlog (found in your save files folder).
I'm not familiar with that ever crashing, but I can't check right now
I'm adding some stuff to the markoth arena with DecorationMaster, but some of the stuff damages markoth himself. Is there any way to make it so that it doesn't damage markoth?
you need to keep shooting while not getting hit, i think until your soul meter is filled up
Use the white spikes instead of the gray ones. Charged lumflys and gray spikes damage enemies
my scarab isnt working : (
Elaborate
how
oh okay
thanks
Patch
In what way is it not working
Where did you buy the game from
You answered one of my 3!questions
patch is the current i guess
Having a similar issue, the application just isn't starting up im on the 1.4.3.2 patch, i bought hk from steam around 3 years ago
is there a way to change the spawn point in a room using decorationmaster
sorry for asking so many questions
Yes the knight leaning over sets one and the knight with an x cancels one
if i try to open it it just doesnt work and puts a modinstaller error on my sedktop
oh okay thanks
desktop
Scarab is for 1.5 up-patch to 1.5 the pins show downpatching but follow it and select none as your beta
sorry not scarab modinstaller
yeah im using 1.5
Did you extract the scarab folder to desktop
yees
Send me a picture of the error
should I do the same?
it just creates a file that says
I can't delete those spikes that are floating in the air

No. Did you get Modinstaller 2
and I don't want to restart the entire room again
oh i don't think so i'll try that
… well when that happens and you are sure you can not delete them you have to completely restart the game
so I just close the game and re-open it?
yeah i downloaded modinstaller 2 it has the same issue
or do I have to delete the room .json file
the app doesn't open at all
Hollow knight or the installer
the installer
Just this
oh okay ty
Did you extract it to desktop
sorry again for asking so many questions
im on macOS
That’s ok ||I enjoy answer decor master questions ||
I'm not sure how i can extract something to desktop on mac
Oh right click and hit explore package content
I don’t entirely know but I would say open the macOS
And if you can run the modinstaller 2.exe
openning both of them does this
im not sure what you did but it suddenly openned
tysm

oh i think i had to click what wa shighligted in the image above
that openned it

Hello! 👋
I've been playing around with Randomizer4, and I have to say, I struggle a bit with understanding how cost randomization is supposed to work... What does each entry actually do? How would I go about setting up it so the actual amounts of grubs/essence/etc needed are left not randomized?
I saw the github page, but I honestly didn't really understand the explanation made there
could you copy paste the explanation given on github?
Did you read the readme it is very long but it has a lot
"For each category, there is a minimum, maximum, and tolerance. The costs will be taken uniformly at random between the minimum and maximum (inclusive), and the locations will be randomized under the constraint that for the cost to be affordable, the number of reachable items must exceed the cost by tolerance. Concretely, if the grub cost settings give a minimum of 1, a maximum of 23, and a tolerance of 2, then a possible cost is 19, and that cost will be in logic when 19 + 2 = 21 grubs are reachable." is what I found on github
I'll check out the readme, is that also on github?
haven't found it yet
So the grubs one means what you set the max one to is the most grubs a reward will be worth and vice versa for what you set the least to. The same apples for charms and essence
so... if I set max and min to 1, then each single grub gives some reward?

aight... and what does tolerance do again? another part of it that completely went over my head
In simple forms the logic will calculate for extra of that so say you set tolerance at to and you have like wings for 7 grubs from my understanding the randos logic will allow you to reach 9 grubs instead of only seven if tolerance was set to 0. I would recommend keeping it at 1-4
ah, so basically the game might make some grubs unreachable, and only give rewards for the grubs that are reachable? and then it's checking how many grubs can be checked?
Yep
alrighty, that makes sense, appreciated

how does that work with essence then?
I see that the default tolerance is 20
does it mean game only expects me to miss 20 of all available essence?
how do i turn invincibility on?
Yeah essentially but typically essence is in abundance
also, if I wanted to have a reward at each 100 interval, then I'd want to set both minimal and maximal to 100?
Hit cheats and turn on debug
ah thanks!
You couldn’t really do that the rando will provide essence in the form of the essence you get from dream trees warriors and dream variants so you could find 43 or you could get 400 from a check
kill all is actually more useful here, need godseeker mode for speedrunning, and i havent beaten the game on pc
I see... would it be recommended to just leave it at default 1/1800/20 then?
I normally do 0/1200/20-50
1800 may be too much so it is best to stay a little lower
Otherwise you just get a bunch of essence
but it is up to you
ah, I getchu
now, just to confirm it... if I have grubs at 1/1/5, does that mean a random amount of grubs will be available (1-42 iirc?), and no grubs will be made mandatory for progression past "max available minus five"?
Or, does it mean that only 1-6 grubs will be available, and that's it?
alternatively, any recommended setup for grubs costs?
Yep the first one
ah, alrighty, that sounds cool
appreciated 🙏
is egg shop worth playing with?
never really saw what it's supposed to do
just possibility of putting progression it it?
Yeah it is Jiji so it is a shop for eggs at Jijis hut and actually makes eggs useful
just more so asking if I turn it on, could it happen that monarch wings are stuck behind egg paywall?

yikes
I would duplicate monarch wings and items like that
I mean it is the same as it being behind a grub wall just different currencies
with duplicate items, say there are 2 pairs of wings... will that make one of them just a useless pickup, or once I get one, the other will turn to something else?
If you have wings (or any duped item) the duplicate will instead give you a measly 100 geo
Happy randos
I hope I'm not overusing the help here, but if possible I'd like to get to understand the rest while I'm at it 🙏
I completely don't understand progression depth; none of the positions in that section make sense to me to be honest 😅
That is ok you are better then 99% of people I help
appreciate the patience 🙏
when i downloaded multiplayer mod it just shows me a screen with geo node and i cant pause or anything
Give me one sec
no worries, take your time
When does it show you this
as soon as i start a game and cutscenes over
is it possible to add mods to scarab?
Tbh I have absolutely no idea what the bottom settings are so just leave those vanilla. Duplicate item penalty I think means that you will need one item to get another so you would need wings to get like claw. Just leave that one on. And multi location penalty means that you have to visit man locations🤔 but these are just my best guess so just leave them vanilla
Like a mod that you made or manually installing a mod
You sure this is hkmp. Have you checked all your dependencies are in order
Hey everyone! I had a quick question about the enemies in hollow knight. I'm working on a unity 2D project right now and I've been researching hollow knight. Does anybody know if the game used RigidBody for the enemies or just a Box Collider? If nobody knows the answer it's all good, I understand that this is a pretty obscure question.
both
installing a mod that is not on scarab
Move the mod folder/.dll to your mods folder
how i get it
The .dll is the entire mod, every mod works as .dll
Its like a type of file
i dont know where to get the dll
Do you have the mod?
nope
Well thats why
What mod
just as a last question, since I was also interested in using skill upgrades with the randomizer. will the upgrades be also just random pickups? or are there some conditions for picking these up?
They will be checks yes but only if you activate it
See this is what I figured, but I'm curious as to how they went about doing it. The RigidBody property is great for applied physics, but makes collisions somewhat dicey. I think I have to play with the layering more so that the enemies collide with the ground but not the player.
They should be becuse they just replace the skills and the rando will rando them
In adittion, if you put triple jump as a check, you cant use it without getting wings
I have activated these in "connections", is that enough? or do I need to unlock them in some other menu?
Enough
Should be
That makes them randomize


oh, does the hash actually matter? or can I safely ignore it? it was meant to be the last question, but oh well 😔
Ignore it until you are playing with friends
gotchu, thanks again 🙏
The hash is for item sync randos to check your settings are the same
just gonna say, randomizer spawned me next to a grub, this is gonna be great 
keep doing great work out here guys, and best of luck


Hello


I got a small problem with costo knight
Tell us :)

Have you extracted them?
Did you unzip the folder
But some of them i download the images and put them in file
What skin did you download only images🤔 if you need I could send a skin
In a folder
Those are on twp drive so get the folder from there
So i shoud download the folder
Yes
i am having a problem with current patch modding where everything still works fine, just when i close the game, whatever file i started ceases to exist
I just would like to ask, is there any possible mistake I could've made that would lead to this, in my randomization process? I did enable dupes, but is that normal to find 2 items next to eachother, and then one extra in the adjacent room? or is that just the seed being interesting, rather than any mistake on my part?
You are fucking lucky, thats it
alrighty, I'll cherish this seed then 🙏
is there any modded parkour challenges similar to path of pain? I really enjoyed it
/////
Yes
Test of teamwork
Its on 1.4 and 1.5
thx!
and impossible birth place/any%
is it on 1.5?
yeah all you need is decoration master
ok thx!
my decorationmaster mod is not working
What is the name of the mod where you can see the life bar?
Enemy HP Bar
Thanks!

and i have this black screen but its seems the game work
idk whats happen
i downloaded now do i put in a folder in hollow knight?
i think you click extract all at the top
i did
ah thanks
np
also im using debug mod and the mantis lords arent showing up in the enemies manager
any of you know whats going on?
They arent enemies until you start the fight
That may be why
well i beat the mantis lords and they never showed up in the list
They should appear when you are fighting them, are you sure they didnt?
How do I start an item sync? I can't see where to put in the ip and stuff anywhere in the rando 4
Ok so make sure you and the others olaying have the EXACT same settings
When you are sure of that click star randomizer, it should appear a screen after saying if you want to play normally or itemsync, click itemsync
Leave the url as it comes
And in the room put whatever you want, just make sure the others have the same
Room
Do we need the same seed?
Yes
Just wondering, do you need winzip to get the mod installer on windows?
You need any app in where you cak extract file
do you happen to know any good free ones?
Winrar
It tells you to pay but just click no, its famous for that reason
how long does it normally take for a skin to apply?
Did your game freeze?
That happens when exiting the menu by pressing a key/button to exit the pause menu instead of using the "Back" button. There's a workaround mod to force close it if it happens, so you don't have to alt + f4 and lose progress. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/899325564962344980/EscapeHatch.dll
Download this and place it in a folder inside your mods folder (Press "Open Mods" in scarab) and then when it glitches, press f3 on your keyboard (may need to press fn + f3) and it'll close the menu
sorry for the constant dumb question, but is there a longer mod list pinned anywhere? The summaries sheet lists quite a few, but there are only a couple pinned
wdym by longer mod list
Longer desc
This has a lot but I think they are all 1.4 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lnjtSYMfRe1LyA_qSq2CoXKI6NRm_I-e?usp=sharing
uhhh i went back in and the skin was on but it froze on me when i tried to pick up an item so i restarted again and
i cant open the menu either
thx
There is a mixuo one in modding server

so do i go into browse local files from steam and do this?
yeah but
what does that mean
sry im really confused
The randomizer mod requires 1.4.3.2, correct?
Huh, didn't know that.
Enemy randomizer does require 1.4 btw
wheres %appdata%
Yes
mk
Then load the game
Do you have its dependencies
I have benchwarp on
This is randomizer 3 if that helps
I think that's the latest version
No
I would recommend you up-patch to 1.5 for rando 4
Randomizer 4 is latest
Oh, where can I get that? I have Modinstaller 2 and don't see it here
@sleek zealot does this apply?
You need to be on 1.5
And have scarab
i clicked open mods and when i clicked on the file it tried to open it somewhere else
Are you on steam CEO?
Is 1.5 the latest version? I should just click none on betas?
What file
this file
Mkay. Should I keep Modinstaller 2?
Okay
Wdym by it tried to open somewhere else it should take you to your mods folder
I'll uninstall it, I like to keep my files tidy
Ok
Scarab its also known as modinstaller 2.5, that means the procedure its exactly the same
So dw about it much
Okay cool
i did this, it opened file explorer, and so i clicked that file and it asked me to pick a software to open it with
Yo it automatically installs dependencies that's cool as hell
ohhh wait
Don’t open it just put it in your mods folder if it’s not already in a folder then create a folder named
EscapeHatch and put the .dll in there
do i drag the file into custom knight yeah ok
Wait how to I get custom skins btw

Oh ok
do i just drag it in as itself?
.
mk
wait is the multiplayer mod on scarab?
Yes
HKMP
k done so now i just open hk?
Yes
Did you hit f3/fn+f3
In game when you are frozen
What would the file area be if I were using steam? Where would I insert the skin file?
on the steam page click the gear, manage, browse local files, hollow knight - managed - mods - customknight - skins
And just throw the zip in there?
well no
go to the zip
click extract all
then put the new folder in there
also click skins and then throw it in there
hey uum im searching for a secific skin for the custom knight mod but i dont know where to find it
yep
can anyone help?
Yes
Just finished this and it was challenging but very fun!

Have you made sure that there are no extra folders in the skin file structure. Should look like pictures below sometimes haves extra folders
Go on YouTube and search hollow knight fyremoth
i think there is some sort of mod called fyremoth because all im getting on youtube are mods
Yeah the video has a description with the skin
so in the skin folder if i find a folder i delete it?
the skin doesnt look like that though might be a different one then
if you have a name I can give you it or description the skin
what if i send you the video i found the skin in?
Sure
warmning the person in the video is kinda lound
No if there is an extra folder the picture show the correct structure
?
@bold night that skin is summer on YouTube search hollow knight summer skin
ok thank you
Why did you put a skin inside a skin folder
Or does that come with it
thank you

I'm trying to play the game for the first time on steam but the game isn't detecting any of my controller's inputs at all... it DOES detect the controller since it shows up in controller settings, but I can't actually use the controller
I'm using a plugged in ps4 controller, my computer doesn't have bluetooth so wireless doesn't work... steam detects the controller and the controller works in every other game
also uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn't work, along with restarting my computer
well... I set steam to only support xbox controllers and now the game shows a ps4 controller graphic in controller settings, doesn't change the fact that I still can't use the controller but I guess it's progress?
ig I'll just refund if I still can
is anybody having issues with the multiplayer mod
Now, this could just be me being an idiot
But I’ve been searching for a while and I haven’t been able to find a single player
And I’ve had this happen before, but the cause of it was Skill Upgrades, which is currently turned off
How do I install mods? I recently started playing and have no idea what to do
Pinned messages has the mod installer
I’d recommend using them after finishing the game, but hey, you do you
hey, it seems i did it!
switching from the RADV driver to the AMDVLK driver seems to have solved the issue... i think
*RADV
!?
the hktimer mod won't load, pls help
is there a way to play a hollow knight item randomizer with scarab

I want to install a mod on random enemies, but Mod Common after installing the enemy randomaizer for some reason does not work, although it is installed and there are no errors, please help, I'm very bad at mods
in main menu? in game?
Main menu
or in mod installer?
I'll check now
how do i use the zip?
oh ok
i downgraded hk but the enemy rando is enabled but it isnt working
Reinstall enemy rando
When you downpatch all mods get deleted
can i get a bit of help with extremelyd1's multiplayer mod?
Is there a way to unable scarab so I can play vanilla again?
just disable the mods on it
Press "Disable API" in scarab
or verify game integrity via steam
Im not sure how to get the button, I had it but when I reopened the app the prompt read differently
Steam library > right click HK > properties > loacl files > verify game integrity
That happens
I think I disabled the API, im going to try the steam one if it doesnt work, thanks!
thx
I wanted to install the mod installer someone help me?

the mod was installed, but during the game it stopped working already at a forgotten crossroads and all mobs change the same way, all mosquitoes change only to improved ones and there is no variety
the first?
Yess
help me...
in the savefile data, what is the difference between KilledZote and ZoteDefeated?
Killed zote i think is abandoning on greenpath
Defeated can either be colo or gpz
Put zote as killed maybe, if its truly greenpath one he shouldn't appear as a boss
Im still using modloader for 1.4.3.2, should i move on to scarab?
mod installer it is better for me
I would recommend scarab better
mod
I've probably just missed the question when looking for it, but when I opened Scarab on my mac it says "The saved Hollow Knight path is invalid, please re-select a valid path."
It also worked the first time I opened it
Quick question with the bingo board mod is there somewhere specific in game that you need to turn the board on? I have the mod and it's enabled and showing in game there just isn't a display of the board in game
hey! just one random question, does ModInstaller only work for 64-bit operating systems? I was wondering since I have a 32-bit PC and it just doesn't even open
You are using modinstaller right? For the most recent version of the game you need to install "scarab" not modinstaller
is it normal for scarab to look like this at startup?
Not much
Do you have it inside the folder with the other 3 things
yea
Wait a sec
it has all the stuff it came with
Can you enter this page?
yea why?
i got it from the github
Yeah lmao
Sometimes that problem can be fixed by using a vpn but im not sure what others solutions it has
Make sure the folder is on your desktop. and run the scarab file as admin
You prob do
And make sure you've unzipped it
ill try that
i did unzip it
i tried opening it from desktop and that didnt work and ive noticed when i maximize it i can see the ui for a quick second
and i am using the latest release of scarab 1.9
it did show me that i had to give it the hollow knight folder and i did and then after it did nothing
i tried reinstalling it (deleting the old one) and launching it and it didnt give the prompt to do said thing
Does it work now at least?
nope
Well you can try using a VPN.
what type of vpn?
