[worthy valve]

its still showing the same blank screen

i am using a gog version of the game could that be the problem?

[real jacinth]

And all 4 scarab files are still in the same folder?

[worthy valve]

yes

[real jacinth]

On desktop?

[worthy valve]

yes

[real jacinth]

Is it creating an installer log file

In the scarab folder

[worthy valve]

nope

[real jacinth]

My only other thought then is that you're selecting the wrong folder.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[worthy valve]

im selecting the right one

[novel yew]

Oooor you can try using a vpn...

[wheat orchid]

Could be what Ismoli said

[worthy valve]

its the one with hollow knight data in it right?

[novel yew]

You lose nothing by trying

[novel yew]

I already said it here btw

[worthy valve]

i dont even know what vpn to use

[novel yew]

Before that msg

[novel yew]

Wichever

Just a vpn

[wheat orchid]

?

[novel yew]

.

[real jacinth]

A PC reset might work then too. Makes no sense that a VPN would matter if the page is reachable yourself

But a VPN has worked for others.

[novel yew]

Exactly

[real jacinth]

Still don't understand why

[novel yew]

And they lose nothing trying

[novel yew]

Thats the magic of mods, being modding staff i thought youll know about it

[wheat orchid]

Storage, time

[real jacinth]

Friends, family

[wheat orchid]

I go insane wondering why

[real jacinth]

Tacos

[worthy valve]

im going to try resetting my pc

[novel yew]

Ok

[worthy valve]

[novel yew]

Lmao ismoli

[wheat orchid]

not changing

[novel yew]

Lol

Anyways bye

[wheat orchid]

[hidden fiber]

I downloaded the mod installer for 1432 but I accidentally chose the file path to my 1221 version instead of my 1432 and I can't fix it

I've tried reinstalling the mod installer and nothing is happening

I'm on mac

[novel yew]

Wait a min

Here @hidden fiber

[hidden fiber]

thank you

[novel yew]

[quick herald]

Is there anyway to restore the cutscenes with the item randomizer or do i just have to disable the QoL mod

Go to your save files

find qol.globalsettings

turn off cutscene skips

[novel yew]

Ok ill check myself...

[quick herald]

everytime I change the file and open a save file, new and old, no cutscenes play and the "skip cutscenes" reverts back to true

[native ice]

Did you change the file while the game is closed

[quick herald]

yes

[native ice]

Try again, and maybe change the .bak file as well

[misty mason]

I got the Hollow Knight Mod Installer 2, but now the game crashes when I open it (I downpatched to 1.4.3.2).
I compared it with a different PC's Hollow Knight and couldn't find any visible differences.
Is there a way to completely delete the Mod Installer and try again or something?

[novel yew]

Verifying file integrity deletes mods

[misty mason]

Oh ok!

[novel yew]

If still doesnt work you can try uppatching

[misty mason]

Updating makes it work, but it doesn't let me use mods (since I'm using the one that likes 1.4.3.2 and not current patch).

How do you verify file integrity?

[novel yew]

Wait a min

Go to steam > right click HK > properties > local files > verify game integrity

[misty mason]

Thank you!

[novel yew]

Remember to reinstall the mods after verifying

[misty mason]

Got it!

...I verified, but all the files are the same.

[novel yew]

? It still doesnt open?

[misty mason]

Oh I didn't try opening it, I just checked my files. The mods folder is still there, and so are things like benchwarp and transtrans.

[novel yew]

It doesnt delete the mods folder afaik

[misty mason]

Though I opened again and it crashed.

[novel yew]

It like unplugs it

[misty mason]

Ah. Should I delete it?

[novel yew]

Can you describe the crash?

[misty mason]

I click "Play", it says
`Hollow Knight - Unity 2017.4.10f1 (f2cce2a5991f)

Hollow Knight has encountered an error and must close

A crash report named 'Crash_2022-02-13_203520' has been generated. These files can be sent to Team Cherry for analysis.
Would you like to open this folder now?`

And I can choose yes or no.

[novel yew]

..

Wait a sec

I remember it

But i dont know the solution

[misty mason]

Alright. It's not that big of a deal if you can't figure it out, since I can always use my old PC, just unfortunate.

[novel yew]

Sad

[misty mason]

Also I'll probably end up testing stuff for like... 4 hours anyways.

[novel yew]

Yiu can try following second pin

And see if it works

[misty mason]

I could use Scarab.

Though I'm not sure what you want me to follow in the second pin?

Unless you mean waiting.

As far as I can tell, it's not an issue with a mod, it's an issue with the mod installer.

Downloaded Scarab, it works. Small shame that I can't use 1.4.3.2, but mods more than make up for it. Thanks for the help!

[gilded carbon]

Hey team, is it possible to have two different HK games on PC that work through steam (one account, one pc)? I have 1.2.2.1 which I am using for speedrunning but also want to use 1.5.x.x for modding. Is this possible or is it boohoo choose one or the other?

[cyan raft]

HELP MEE my skin keeps changing to a white box

so i turned off the mod and went back in but its still doing it

[gilded carbon]

Or is there a speedun mod that will replicate 1.2.2.1? Because that will make life very easy

[mighty bloom]

Hi, new to trying mods for HK and I've got some questions. I used Scarab to install Rando 4, benchwarp, and debug mod. I'm trying to figure out how to toggle debug's UI at base. Any input?

I've now found how to toggle the UI - it's F1, for anybody who lands up with the same question

Also, the mouse appears when you pause the game

[novel yew]

Sorry if im late but thats totally posible

Just pick the version you wqnt to replicate (preferably 1.2.2.1) and select the folder, copy it and paste it on another foldrr

Then create a new text document in this folder titled "steam_appid" and in that document copy only the number "367520".

[gilded carbon]

thank you very much

[ocean tartan]

what is the muiltiplayer mod called

[native ice]

hkmp

[ocean tartan]

thanks

[ocean tartan]

does anyone know how to join the server

bc it says i started a server but my friend cant join

[novel yew]

Are you trying publics or you hosting?

[shell inlet]

Im having some trouble with the customkinght mod, when i press menu on the left side it dosen't show up the skins i have, i need to go manualy to the mod menu to change, can someone explain how do i fix this?

[shell inlet]

So im dumb in 1.5 they removed the left menu to not conflict with other mods

[ocean tartan]

hosting

[torn nebula]

i downloaded some skins for CustomKnight and i just wanna ask, does renaming them breaks the skin?

[mossy smelt]

Depends on what you rename

You can rename folders, but not pngs

Because customknight looks for the pngs to tell where to apply textures, but only looks at folder names to determine what to call the skin

[native ice]

What... 1.7 doesn't exist

If you want to remove mods go to your steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files

[native ice]

[native ice]

You can use randomizer 4 + item sync, and disable rando 4 but still use item sync. It's a bit more involved, but enemy sync doesn't exist yet, you can still kill each others enemies tho

[fresh narwhal]

how can i uninstall mod installer 1?

[pastel path]

hi! did anyone manage to get mods working on linux?

if I install the mod api, I can't start the game, and it crashes with Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

ah wait, apparently humblebundle doesn't provide the latest version

I guess I'll try downloading from steam then

yep, that was it. although, it took unnecessarily long to load. like more than a minute

[split umbra]

What do i do if it's not working?

[torn nebula]

ok thanks

[torn nebula]

can other players in hkmp see my custom knight skin if i use any? (theres a seperate skin selecting section in the hkmp mod folder and also in the settings for hkmp in-game, so i wondered if custom knight skins will work in a hkmp server or i have to put the skin on hkmp skins folder)

[native ice]

You have to use HKMP's skin system

https://geroyuni.notion.site/Using-skins-in-HKMP-a162084b994e4c87976c2c20c8e3195f

[torn nebula]

oh alright, thanks

[jovial tulip]

so i could be dumb, but i think i came across a bug/glitch in the randomizer. how can i check for known issues, and where would i be able to submit a report?

[native ice]

Not sure where you'd check for known issues, but in the speedrunning server there's randomizer channels you can ask there

[jovial tulip]

ah no worries, makes sense

[spice hollow]

hi everyone, i just joined and wanted to try mods/rando for fun, but i understand nothing about modding

[spice hollow]

[native ice]

Click the "Windows/Mac/Linux.zip" for whichever OS you're using, unzip the folder it comes in, and run the application

[spice hollow]

ok thanks ❤️

done

now, what do the little boxes mean? can i just tick them and it automatically installs the mod?

[native ice]

Yep

[spice hollow]

oh ok, that was easier than i tought, thank you so much for the help

[dim hearth]

how do i bypass this

[native ice]

more info > run anyways

[dim hearth]

that dosnt work for me

it just does nothing

[native ice]

run anyway shows up at the bottom

[dim hearth]

when i click run ayways nothing happens

[native ice]

That pop up doesn't close? or it does close but scarab doesn't launch?

[dim hearth]

it closes but scarab dosnt launch

[native ice]

Then it sounds like scarab is crashing

Is there a mod installer error file in the folder with scarab?

[dim hearth]

it also does this with mod installer

oh

like that

[native ice]

Yes, click and drag that over discord

[novel bronze]

is there a noclip command?

[native ice]

debug mod

[novel bronze]

k

[dim hearth]

um

idk

i havent goten any mods yet

[native ice]

Try moving Scarab and all the stuff in the folder it came with to your desktop, or a folder on your desktop or such

[novel bronze]

after selecting install and enable how do i get the mod too work

[dim hearth]

that doesnt help

[native ice]

It's not in a zipped file right? Also your game is closed?

[native ice]

Launch the game

[dim hearth]

my game is closed and the file is zip

[native ice]

And check the top left corner, to see if the mods are active

[novel bronze]

wait should i close and open it then???

[native ice]

It shouldn't be a zipped file, unzip it

[native ice]

What? No just open the game?

[novel bronze]

no cause i was playing before

[native ice]

Oh wait

close then open

[dim hearth]

yay it worked

[native ice]

Yes, you shouldn't be installing mods while the game is open

[novel bronze]

its not letting me start up the game

it has a symbol next too a ❗

and then closes

[native ice]

What installer are you using?

Hey i want to instal a mod but wich mod instaler should i get?(1,2 or scrab)

P.S i play on windows

[native ice]

Scarab

[dim hearth]

every time i use this skin my game freezes and stops

[wheat orchid]

Have you installed any mods with scarab?

[dim hearth]

only custom knight

[wheat orchid]

That wasn’t meant towards you but ok

What skin causes that?

Well I’m assuming Mr.Mushroom figured it out

[abstract badger]

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

Or you may need to double check your file structure is correct

[novel bronze]

How does multiplayer on 1.5 work

I'm dumb

[abstract badger]

[torn nebula]

you got scarab?

[novel bronze]

Yep

[torn nebula]

hm

search for HKMP

in it

[abstract badger]

Get hkmp and look in the

[torn nebula]

instal it

[novel bronze]

Done

[torn nebula]

welp

[novel bronze]

Ah i forgot i have no friends

[torn nebula]

ah

well

thats life

yep

Pog

[torn nebula]

nice

you can also look for players in the multiplayer lobby channels of the offical HKMP server

oh i almost forgot about my issue

[abstract badger]

Lmao

[novel bronze]

I dunno about the HKMP server

[abstract badger]

[torn nebula]

my hk got a bit laggy and it now takes a lot of time to load, it happened after i downloaded the CustomKnight mod

is there any way to fix that

?

[torn nebula]

i can invite you in it right now if you want

[abstract badger]

What mods do you have

[novel bronze]

Yes

[torn nebula]

a lot

weavercore, inf. grimm, c. kin etc

[torn nebula]

ok dms please

[abstract badger]

That is probably the issue sometimes mods can be a lot to handle for some computers especially in large quantities

[novel bronze]

K

[torn nebula]

that makes sense

considering the fact that i have a shit laptop

well uh

nvm

[novel bronze]

Also last thing

[abstract badger]

Qol can help

[torn nebula]

oh

[novel bronze]

I don't know about the vasi mod

[torn nebula]

thanks

[abstract badger]

? It is on scarab

[novel bronze]

It says it has some utility classes in it

[novel bronze]

I know

[torn nebula]

its like a Qol mod, it changes settings of the game to make it more comfortable

[novel bronze]

Ah

Are there any other classes

[abstract badger]

It is a qol dependencie

It is a very important 1.5 dependencie and you need it for a lot of mods

[novel bronze]

O

[abstract badger]

So just leave it installed

[novel bronze]

I see

[torn nebula]

oh one more thing

[torn nebula]

can deleteing global settings of these mods help in reducing lag?

[abstract badger]

no cause the game will just remake them on loading the game

[torn nebula]

makes sense

hm

[abstract badger]

Just keep the mods low and uninstall what you aren’t using

[torn nebula]

i also have HKMP installed, since its broken for my scarab, i had to download it from the official web page

but it causes the most lag

along with weavercore

is there any way to help it without deleteing hkmp and weavercore?

[abstract badger]

Uninstall moded bosses will help with weaver core and hkmp not really

[torn nebula]

damn

welp

time to delete inf. grimm which i downloaded like yesterday

[abstract badger]

[pearl coyote]

Is it possible to play lightbringer with scarab?

[errant kite]

which mod is for health skins?

[split umbra]

Can anyone send me (preferably private so I can easily find it) a Hollow Knight invincibility mod please?
Want to mess around in Steel Soul mode 😂

[torn nebula]

use debug mod from scarab/mod installer please

[torn nebula]

just search for "Health" in scarab and you should find it

[split umbra]

Ah ok thanks

I hope it works as I found this other invincibility mod and it didn't work

[torn nebula]

i think debug mod is made for invincibility

[split umbra]

Cool, thanks 👍

[novel yew]

There isnt a "mod" for it, you just change hp bar textures, if you want the lifemasks enemy hp bar reesking tell me

[torn nebula]

oh

well apologizes, i thought they meant that they needed a mod which shows hp bar for enemies and stuff

[novel yew]

Ah i understand. Its confusing since i think theres only one reeskin for it

Wich turns the life bar to masks like our character one

[torn nebula]

i see

[novel yew]

I mean they can also be refering to HUD but its very improbable

[torn nebula]

yeah

anything is possible

[novel yew]

Wait here it is

[errant kite]

ok, so how do i change the health bar

[novel yew]

You need to change the sprites manually but theres a skin already for it on the modding server, if you join it ill ping you the msg

The modding server is in this guy bio btw

[errant kite]

ok i'm on the server

[novel yew]

Gimme sec

[small lotus]

how tf do i use multiplayer mod on 1.5

this frikin zerotier thing keeps bugging

[novel yew]

Why everyone wants zerotier?

[torn nebula]

maybe use HKMP

[novel yew]

Zerotier is a way to make HKMP servers

[novel bronze]

is there a mod that allows you to play multiplayer

Yes

HKMP

ok

thanks

[pure token]

Excuse me where I can find the custom knight.global settings.json file since the custom knight modification menu does not appear

[stiff night]

[novel yew]

Why do you think i have 22k messages helping

[jagged mango]

thank you

[torn nebula]

🥲

[novel yew]

What do you think you are doing?

Even if it truly worked

That promotes pirating

[torn nebula]

ask him

[novel yew]

Pirate bad

Very bad

Want me to explain?

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.

[torn nebula]

oh god

he is poor

please relac

[novel yew]

Doesnt mean you are able to pirate

If ymsomeone is poor they might start focusing on getting money not videogames

[torn nebula]

i mean it still worked

[jagged mango]

thanks for trying to help xbox gamepass is bad

[torn nebula]

ah yes, child labor, my favorite

[torn nebula]

sorry

[mossy smelt]

Maybe don't support pirating in the official discord

[torn nebula]

i never did, i used it as an example

🥲

[novel yew]

That promotes pirating

[real jacinth]

[cyan raft]

my hollowknight character is a white box please help

[novel yew]

@cyan raft

[cyan raft]

i have HKMP and hollow point

so do i delete them

[cyan raft]

i deleted them would it work now

[novel yew]

Why would HKMP or Hollow point change anything?

[cyan raft]

my skin turned my whole game into white blocks

[novel yew]

Sorry tought you were another person

Yeah go try

[cyan raft]

and it was while i was speedrunning with my friend

lol

[cyan raft]

it worked thank you

[jagged mango]

i only have satchel and custom skins on and hollow knight keeps crashing before startup

its now crashing with no mods loaded

[novel yew]

Be more specific

[novel yew]

Where did you got game from
what version you have
what installer you are using

[jagged mango]

1.xbox game pass pc

2.idk

3.scarab

[novel yew]

Oh game pass...

You have 1.4.3.2 version

Dont use scarab

Scarab is for the latest version

Gamepass is outdated

Use modinstaller 1/2

[jagged mango]

why is it still outdated also ok

[novel yew]

Idk, gamepass things, maybe it also runs better on xbox

[jagged mango]

idk installing other one now

[agile glacier]

how do i install on mac steam because when i try to open scarab it shuts down instantly

[jagged mango]

still crahses 😦

[real jacinth]

which installer did you switch to

[real jacinth]

right click scarab, show contents. then run the scarab file that's in the MacOS folder

[pliant lantern]

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.

[jagged mango]

this one

[novel yew]

Did you installed a mod from modinstaller 1?

[jagged mango]

yes

[real jacinth]

what does the first big button at the bottom say

[jagged mango]

revert back to unmodded

[real jacinth]

If mods still aren't working click this link for additional instructions: #archived-modding-help message

do this then

actually you can't b/c xbox

ha

[novel yew]

i just realized, this is scarab logo

[real jacinth]

make sure the installer is directed to the right location

you can change the install location with a button on the bottom of installer 1 I believe

otherwise, use installer 2

[novel bronze]

Technically no
The icon is a bit more,
edited

[real jacinth]

[novel yew]

Yeah but still

Looks like kirby ngl

[jagged mango]

waaaaaa still crashes

[novel bronze]

[woeful tulip]

[wheat orchid]

Install CustomKnight (skin mod)

[woeful tulip]

Do i have to click on enabled or installed?

[novel bronze]

Installed

[wheat orchid]

Installed?

[novel bronze]

It’ll enable it automatically

[wheat orchid]

Then use a guide for custom skins but instead of putting them in CustomKnight put them in CustomKnight/skins

[woeful tulip]

Ok this is the zip of the skin

What should i do now?

Sorry if im bothering you im new at this 😦

[novel yew]

Extract

[novel bronze]

It’s fine

[woeful tulip]

And then?

[novel yew]

Enter the game

Options

Custom knight

Open folder

And put the extracted folder of the skin inside there

[novel bronze]

https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/blob/master/README.md here’s the read me if you’re a bit lost

[woeful tulip]

I put it on the folder but doesnt appear

[novel yew]

We should have a image guide on ck and modinstallers installation as a lot of people ask this, i might start it

[vocal canyon]

i am putting the right password in and still getting this error

[woeful tulip]

it doesnt load

[novel yew]

"Forgot password"

[woeful tulip]

And this isnt even the skin i want, im testing a skin that came with the mod

[vocal canyon]

but i am putting the valid password

[novel yew]

Well then put forgot password

[vocal canyon]

where

[novel yew]

Still helps

[wheat orchid]

Don’t switch skins on the menu, try when you’re in a save file

[novel yew]

Wdym where

[woeful tulip]

Same problem

[vocal canyon]

where do i put "Forgot password"

[novel yew]

There should be a button

Better question

Tf you are doing?

[woeful tulip]

okay it applied but this isnt the skin i want like

I put it on the folder

[vocal canyon]

downgrading a game

[novel yew]

Thats the old version of downgrading.........

[woeful tulip]

The third one doesnt appear

[vocal canyon]

oh

[wheat orchid]

What version of it do you want

[novel yew]

Ez

[vocal canyon]

the new one

[novel yew]

There is 1.5
1.4
1.2.2.1

[wheat orchid]

Doesn’t work for every game or version

[novel yew]

Then why they ask for that in the hk server?

[wheat orchid]

technically with the info provided we can’t say the game is hk ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[novel yew]

We can assume it is due to well, we are on the HK server

Idk if you forgot

[wheat orchid]

Well why say this then

And not hk or just downgrading

[novel yew]

Can you please help me? My deadcells has some pproblems do you know how to downpatch?

[wheat orchid]

No lol

[novel yew]

Thats the thing

[woeful tulip]

Did i put the path good?

[novel yew]

Until they provide info saying that is another game ill assume its hk, bc hk server

[woeful tulip]

?

[wheat orchid]

Good point, I’d assume that too

[wheat orchid]

That’s correct

[woeful tulip]

Okay it works now TY GUYYYS ❤️

[novel bronze]

Glad we could help

Nope, it just has been discovered that gamepass was moddeable, we dont know about it much

[real jacinth]

get the steam copy

which installer did you use then

1? 2?

[hushed needle]

Can anyone help me to download healt bar mod

[real jacinth]

it's on scarab

[novel yew]

Also on modinstaller

[novel bronze]

when your using hamachi and your the host of the server do you have to also be connected?

[novel yew]

I think so

[novel bronze]

me and my friend started a server i made him connect to my hamachi etc

[radiant surge]

How do I install the rando mod

it will only let me install the source code

[novel yew]

Just install scarab

That is where you install rando mod

[radiant surge]

okey thanks

[real jacinth]

scarab will download the mods too. just use it

[radiant surge]

just realized

thanks for the help

[novel bronze]

guys my friend connected to my server in hollow knight

but i cant see him

why

i started hosting he joined

but i cant connect myself

[pliant lantern]

#archived-modding-help message

[novel bronze]

i did the 1.4.3.2 version

but i manually installed

hkmp dll

[onyx tulip]

Is the randomizer currently broken? I updated scarab and it's not working

[real jacinth]

no

[novel yew]

Han

[real jacinth]

is that the game patch you're on? is your friend also on that patch

[novel bronze]

yes

[real jacinth]

and how are you connected to each other

hamachi? zerotier? port forwarding?

[novel yew]

Hamachi

[novel bronze]

i used hamachi and made him connect into my hamachi

then used the ip the normal port

and hosted the server

but I cant see him

[novel yew]

Oh here we go

Have you tried a public server?

[novel bronze]

no not as yet Im new to multiplayer obviously so i dont know any public servers

[novel yew]

There are two

In the same guide

[novel bronze]

alr

[novel yew]

From pins

[real jacinth]

did you follow the section that says to put localhost as your ip if you're hosting?

did you use the "start server" button?

or did you use the server exe method

[brisk ridge]

so I needed to go to the old ver to run the mod installer but when I do that I need to put my keybinds every time is there a way to fix this

[real jacinth]

are you using mouse binds

[novel bronze]

yes and i used the start hosting button

[real jacinth]

so you put local host in?

or no

[novel yew]

You dont need to go old version

Theres a latest patch installer now

[brisk ridge]

well I cba so is there a way to fix this on 1.4.3.2

[novel yew]

Not sure

Also cba?

[brisk ridge]

cant be asked

[novel yew]

Ok?

[novel bronze]

i joined a co-op

and i see someone

but

I cant make my own server

[novel yew]

I mean as long as you arent on pvp server they cant affect you

[novel bronze]

ill give up on a private server and join be in co-op

[novel yew]

So its like a private server, with ppl on the back

[novel bronze]

yea

[novel bronze]

alr imma see

[real jacinth]

are you using mouse bindings or no

[novel bronze]

I got it to work

not with the localhost

idk the mod was just bugging

[uncut sapphire]

does scarab not automatically install the modding api?

[real jacinth]

it does when you install any mod

[uncut sapphire]

hmm, okay, not sure why it's not working for me then

the update/toggle api options are greyed out for me, is that intentional?

[real jacinth]

yes

[uncut sapphire]

alright, I guess I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling for now

[real jacinth]

have you checked in game that it's not there?

[uncut sapphire]

yeah, mods aren't showing up

[real jacinth]

is there a spaghetti symbol above the patch number

[uncut sapphire]

I'm assuming they still pop up in the main menu and stuff

I'll take a proper look

yeah, just the standard dlc logos

[real jacinth]

did you change patches recently

[uncut sapphire]

yeah, I went back to 1.5 earlier

[real jacinth]

so you overwrote it then

[uncut sapphire]

I think it probably deleted the API when I changed it yeah

I'm reinstalling mods now

[real jacinth]

close game, open scarab, install any mod

[uncut sapphire]

aha, seems to work, thanks

[cursive shoal]

how do I toggle off the debug UI?

[novel yew]

F1

[cursive shoal]

Thanks

[little falcon]

I found a bug, and have been able to replicate it, in the custom knight mod, at least I think that is the mod that caused it since that is the only one i have installed

[novel yew]

Whats the bug

[little falcon]

When switching skins if you use the b button rather than clicking or selecting the back button the game freezes

back button from the options menu after switching a skin

it isn't game breaking but still annoying

[novel yew]

Thats not a custom knight problem

Thats a vanilla problem

[little falcon]

ahhhh, kk

I just had never got that bug before so thought it was from the mod, guess i dont go in the options menu often

[real jacinth]

it's an API issue that will be fixed eventually

[pliant lantern]

The worst part is that it is fixed, but the fixed API isn't released

[real jacinth]

^

classic hurry up and wait

[little falcon]

XD

[urban python]

Having some trouble with scarab not working (no loading bar when opening the game or anything) and I can't seem to find anything wrong with the installations?

[wheat orchid]

What mods are installed and can you screenshot the title screen of hk?

[urban python]

The mods installed are hkmp, custom knight, benchwarp, transtrans and satchel, can't send a screenshot but the patch is up to date and no mods come up in the top left corner

[novel yew]

.

[clever hazel]

Can mods be added to switch edition

[novel bronze]

I assume that hardly anyone has really asked about this, but how does one run the mods while using Proton? I get insane input lag on Linux when playing the native client and saw that Proton would decrease the lag (and it does! massively!), yet I can't find any documentation for getting the mod stuff working under it

Shockingly enough when I launched the game just now the infinite charms mod loaded through the save file without overcharming me, but other mods didn't

[novel yew]

I assume that hardly anyone has really asked about this

i think literally no one before you has done

At least hadn't seen

[novel bronze]

I've seen a couple of posts about it on various forums but I either get an error 404 for that webpage or there are no responses

So I thought I'd ask here lmao

[prime perch]

input lag is a hollow knight thin-

[prime perch]

do you have the mods enabled would be the first question

double check

and if they still don't know try to enable them again

[novel bronze]

....one problem.

I need to know how to install scarab for the Hollow Knight that Proton installs

I'm pretty sure the infinite charms mod actually modifies the save file directly

Which is why it loaded while others didn't

because it didn't actually 'load', the result of it's modification did

[prime perch]

yeah uhhh you probably can't

[earnest current]

Im stuck in the item randomizer with nothing that can save me. What can I do? Is their something to download?

[novel bronze]

are you stuck somewhere?

if so you can use benchwarp to warp to whatever bench you have unlocked

[earnest current]

Okay

Thanks

[novel bronze]

I don't see why not. Quick question, how much Linux experience do you have?

[prime perch]

i don't use linux

[novel bronze]

Okay then. I'd probably wait until someone with Linux experience comes along, cause it would take more time for me to explain how Proton and Wine works than it would be for me to look up how to do it lol
meaning it would take a while.

[prime perch]

tip you should know

linux isn't for playing games....

[torn nebula]

[earnest current]

Whenever I open it I don't see all the options. Is their something that im doing wrong?

[torn nebula]

go to settings of benchwarp (the right most option) and select unlock all

then try again

[earnest current]

Ok

What do I press after I unlock all?

[torn nebula]

did anything change?

[earnest current]

Nope

[torn nebula]

maybe try selecting a bench which you never went to and try warping

[novel bronze]

Incorrect.
Linux, in some cases, runs games better than Windows does on native due to less overhead required. This, of course, varies by title.

Also, the Steam Deck runs a version of Linux.

[torn nebula]

better luck next time

[novel bronze]

AngerEEEE

[earnest current]

The only buttons on my screen are deploy, set, destroy, style, options, and warp. Is there something not there?

[novel yew]

Linux as being a non much supported os, itds harder for things as the modinstaller to work there

I mean non much supported compared to others

[torn nebula]

look on top

you should see more buttons if you have benchwarp mod working

[earnest current]

I know. The buttons arent their for some reason. Is their any other mods that are necessary?

[novel bronze]

Challenge accepted.

[torn nebula]

uh

[novel yew]

No

[torn nebula]

you sure you have benchwarp mod then?

[novel yew]

Pause menu and go all the way up

[novel yew]

[torn nebula]

yes

i am a part-nerd at this

not as good as the others

[earnest current]

[torn nebula]

sus

wait

try going to options

then

do you see benchwarp there?

[earnest current]

Yep

Says on

Do I need qol?

[torn nebula]

hm i dont think qol is needed

[earnest current]

Let me see

I do have to go for about 5-10 min

[torn nebula]

oh well, have a good day

[earnest current]

Then I will see

Only about 5-10 minutes

[torn nebula]

i am still not good at being a nerd like others at modding 🥲

[torn nebula]

goodluck with your stuff

[earnest current]

Well Im a commoner about modding

[patent knoll]

are you able to fight ultimatum radiance on 1.5? I have a low-end pc, so down-patching makes the game run on low fps

[torn nebula]

if you can find it on scarab then it should

[patent knoll]

oh, I couldn't find it on scarab

thanks for the help

[torn nebula]

i am scared if my tips are wrong

🥲 🥲 🥲

[abstract badger]

No only any rad is on 1,5 rn

[jaunty sentinel]

Is it possible to add mods that aren’t in the list of mods in scarab?

[real jacinth]

only if they've been written for 1.5

[patent knoll]

I see. thank you

[jaunty sentinel]

Assuming they’re written for 1.5, how would I go about adding them? Do i press the “Open Mods” button on the bottom left and place it there?

[real jacinth]

in a folder, like how the others are

yes

[jaunty sentinel]

Ight, got it, ty

[crude jacinth]

how do i get rid of all the shit in the top left corner in game

[abstract badger]

What does it look like? The debug menu? Hkmp menu?

[abstract badger]

You go to steam and verify game integrity

[crude jacinth]

aight thanks

[abstract badger]

[novel bronze]

[torn nebula]

scarab

or mod installer

[novel bronze]

Yeah that’s normal it is a dependency

And mantis gods don’t work on 1.5

Yeah because that is how they work

[torn nebula]

broken mod

others work

only mantis god doesnt

i hope

[novel yew]

Inferno king grimm and corrupted kin work btw

[torn nebula]

yeah, i can tell, i keep dying to both

[patent knoll]

whenever I up-patch from 1.4.3.2 to 1.5, none of my mods work unless I uninstall them, then install them again

any fix for this?
