yo guys
Seems to be that way custom knight was doing this yesterday
I'm trying to use the custom knight mod, but whenever I select a skin I downloaded, nothing changes
And I couldn't play mod bcs of it
even after I click apply
@prime moat see if these fix the issue
Yeah I believe
ite will try
so we gotta wait patiently for modders to fix it
👍
certainly
I’ll bring it up to them
unusual
thx
Before I do can you reload scarab and try again
I did
K thx

Hi for customknight
it showing just a white cube
i've dowloaded star bunny
and it became a white cube
i reloaded hollow knight
and tried to apply the normal skin
but now its just a white cube
What game version are you playing on?
And where did you get the game?
I got it on steam
and i'm using scarab
all the other mods work
should i turn off the mod?
someone know why my custom knight is not working?
It should work fine. Try this:
- open the save file that you want to use the skin on
- go to Pause Menu > options > mods > custom Knight
- make sure the skin is selected
- press "fix my skins"
- THEN change to the Default skin
- select "apply" at the bottom
- then close the menu
- then open the menu and go back to the custom Knight menu
- select the skin you want again
- then select apply, and close the menu
scarab
So when I'm pressing choose skin
Check the pins. This is a listed issue with fixes
Then you may need to restart your game
alrighty
Also, make sure that you're closing menus by pressing the "back" menu option, not by pressing B button on controller
Does anyone know if there is a mod to skip to the path of pain?
No but path of pain isnt necessary in first place
ik, but i like it
If you like it, why would you want to skip it?
skip TO it
yes
you could download a save and put it in your game. there's some on speedrun.com/hollowknight
the save will be at the bench nearest pop
thanks man
can someone help me Im trying to download glass soul and custom knight for HK but when I open the game it's just a black screen and I also can't figure out how to get mods on older version
did you downpatch your game
to 1.2.2.1
that's the wrong patch
what should I do?
depends on what your end goal is
I wanna play on 1.2.2.1
if you only want glass soul and custom knight, then you can go to current patch
1.2.2.1 doesnt black screen but when I launch there are no mods
debug is the only mod supported on 1221
current patch black screens
oh ok
then can you just help me get rid of black screen
Note: mod installer doesn't work for 1221 at all
^
oh havent played in too long where can I get scarab
?pins
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
You have to manually install a 1221 modding API and debug
And Scarab is only for Current Patch, not 1221
ok
can I use modinstaller with odding api and play on 1.2.2.1 or do I have to settle for current patch?
no
^^
mod installer is for 1432
any other way to play on 1.2.2.1 with mods?
no
k thx
any particular reason why you need it to be that patch
no i just like it more
minor glitches
Like?
With qol you can do that on cp
if I have Scarab should I get rid of CustomKnight(.) dll, GODump.()dll and ModCommon(.) dll?
I think those were from the Modinstaller days. The game was able to find CustomKnights mod menu earlier but not cant', could it be the caused by those folders?
you don't have to
current patch mods are structured different and older patch mods won't be run
could anyone help me, it seems that after modding the game I can't heal at all, i've exhausted every possibility to try fixing this
If they aren't in a folder you can
read the pins
check the hollow point fix pin
👍 lemme see if it helps
i have a problem with custom knight. all my skins except invisible and pale king dont work. invis and king just set me to normal
ok. im gonna check
I don't want to be a bother but my game is crashing before it starts with custom knight, glasssoul, qol, satchel, vasi
Screenshot the crash
Open the folder
yep
What does it say?
the mod folder right?
The crash folder
not with invisible
I can't open the crash folder
the window instanty closes
Then the mod forlder
Here
k
Lol
or king
Why tf is the assembly c#dll in there it contains most of the games c# code
what do i do if I played it on 1.5
idk where should I move it or should i delete it or should I verify integrity of game files
Move the assembly sharp dll to the managed folder
Look at the part that says "1.5 only!"
you are still on the wrong patch
okay hopefully i have eyes this time
change the dropdown value in steam to "none"
is this the right place to get help on recovering an old save file? asked in #hk-help but it was suggested that i come here instead
i installed daughter of hallownest skin but it also changed my menu. how can i get back the hollow knight menu?
@real jacinth got it thx
If you saved it through steam you can get it easily or use save edit
@covert valve i did 👍 i'll check if it works now
It's part of the mod
ik
so as of the new version of hk on game pass, it seems that my file 1 has automatically been overridden by my xbox file, the others are fine, is there any way to revert this?
but i want to get back the menu without losing the skin
this is my save folder
rename an older one
what do i do if i have an extra folder?
to user1.dat
Then you have to edit mods source code
get rid of it
copy all the skin files, move them to the right folder
i tried that with user1_1.4.3.2.dat, no success, will try the others
so move the skins to the first folder?
in trando plus, what does "randomize drops" do?
and turn off cloud saves
there is a form to get back the original hollowknightdata folder
if you can
verify game files
but that will remove mods
okay i'll try
I downloaded scarab today for the latest patch, got customknight and scathel and ingame I was able to see and use the customsknight mod in the mod list but afterwards it disappeared and wont reappear
.
how do i do that with the game pass version
doesnt seem to be any option, thank you microsoft
thanks it works now
disabled the service, renamed the file, still nothing
i'll try the other files
ok interestingly enough straight up removing file1.dat does nothing in-game wtf
did you remove it while your game was closed
yes
it helped for the pale king but invisible didn't have any extra folders so it still doesn't work
Hello
I am quite new here in the server and I just want to ask is there like a site that has a vast array of HK mods to install?
yes
No, theres a exe but not a site
yeah, that's what I mean
thanks a ton
so it turns out my save files arent even stored on my pc anymore, unless i'm looking in the wrong place
I'm you but better
🤔 debatable
i dont see why the files would have moved though, LocalLow/<dev_name> is the typical place where saves are stored for unity games
I have some awsome boss music, and I am a secret boss fight
that's me
i do see this file in the game files, that might be the problem
cant modify it since it's in a protected folder
What do I do? 005 run is using slash 006's OLD 156 frame even though I already replaced all with the new one but SpritePacker isn't noticing it.
guys, in the randomizer 4 mod how do i config it so i can see what i'm buying in the shops instead of it showing the "???" sign?
it worked! thx a lot 

okay, so duplicate items should def be off for sly to remain with vanilla items in stock right
Only bosses backgrounds?
no
what mods do you have
what had you installed before you uninstalled them
oh wait
it's just a debug mod thing isn't it
i had debug mod and inferno king grimm
you might've pressed something on debug then
the only other one that it could maybe be would be blind radiance
verifying game files should fix it
I change my ModInstaller path between the 1.4 installer and scarab, and whenever I switch back to scarab, there are no mods in the list even though they are installed and working and are listed in InstalledMods.json
I tried backing up my entire Mods folder but that didn't seem to help

Specifically
Thanks
In my defense, the pin was misleading as it only said "If mods are still not working"
My modded install is not in the steam files, only my CP install is so I cannot use that
Which file(s) get replaced?
what patch is your modded game
1.5
which 1.4 installer are you using
Eh
ModInstaller2 I believe
Why 1.4?
use installer 1 if you have to use that
installer 2 and scarab use the same settings file
Yeah
yhtsi
Yhtsi?
Ah thanks
I wanna use ck what one should I install to play on lastest version possible

oh thx
is there a doc showing what each command does in twitch mod?
I don't have this file
did you run your game file
yes
there is only the global setting of twitch mod
which has some commands but not all
you want to check the folder in here
a ok
nice!
How do I make customized spells
Like creating your own skin?
Not creating the skin
Making spells to match the skin
I am trying to learn this
Because I want to get into hollow knight modding
So you wanna make a skin but just the spells
Yes
Ok do you know how to create a skin?
I tried to record this maybe a dozen times and this was the shortest I could get it.

Yeah that one with the godseeker place
Just do just spells for making and you need to have a knight png in the folder with spells otherwise it will not work
Oh ok
hey hot, where do i put these impossible te jsons for them to show up

Move them to your decoration master data folder
It has to be the rooms jsons not the folder
Make sure you don’t put them in decor master general folder with the mod mis typed
Did fucking google drive rename them
They shouldn’t have that (1) 
I can fix it if you want
Just DecorationMasterData
huh???
Ignore them
aight
Does downpatching to 1.4 from 1.5 have any effect on my current save files? Will anything change?
No
Thank you

or better dashmaster
Ohh okay
Cause i wanted to have mods but wasnt sure if downpatching was a smart choice
do i just get rid of these random numbers
Yeah
mkay
Yeah but you don’t need that folder just the rooms you can use your auto generated one
No that would mean you put them in your saves folder
its not in there
What isn’t there
The global settings? Because that is on your saves folder
oh shoot i meant global.json
mb
And there should only be one layer of decor master folders
Just don’t even worry about the global json
idk what they do just have like one at least in your folder just in case
No
^Thanks
Like this
Yeah it is the name for kings pass
And it is in mine because they only show up there when you edit the room
hmm
❗Hollow knight Crashes upon opening, after installing a mod:
-This glitch can happen for a number of reasons make sure that all the reasons listed listed below don't apply to you.
🔸 You are on the incorrect patch for scarab or Modinstaller 1/2.
Scarab is made for patch 1.5 and like wise Modinstaller 1/2 is made for version 1.4.3.2 if you are on a different patch then consult the pins 📌 for a guide on changing your patch for the modinstaller you would like to use. If want to stay on your patch get the correct installer and install a mod on it to stop the crashing.
🔺You pirated the game/own the game cracked.
Piracy is illegal and we encourage you to buy the game (you will not receive any form of support here until you do so). Piracy is not supported in most communities and that includes modding ones.
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/
🔹 You manually installed a mod for the wrong patch
Make sure the mod was made for your version of the game, unless the mod is one of the few mods only on one patch the look in then, mods GitHub for a version of the mod that fits your patch.
🔸If none of the above worked.
Although rare if your issue persists verify game integrity to restore missing files. After that reinstall your installer and install a mod. If that doesn’t work you will have to play the game un-modded.
Verify on Steam:
From the Library section, right-click on hollow knight and select Properties from the menu.
Select the LOCAL FILES tab and click the VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES button
Steam will verify the game files.
Verify on GOG Galaxy:
From the Library section, click on Hollow knight.
Click the More drop down.
Hover the mouse over Manage Installation
Click Verify / Repair
Confirm the request by clicking VERIFY GAME in the pop up.
strange, pressing caps locks does nothing
Yeah because you aren’t in edit mode

Hello, I need some help with Hollow Knight Discord Rich Presence, it says "Failed to Initialize" when I run the game. Here's the part of the modlog where it says what the error is (though I haven't a clue what any of it means):

Anyone?
If anyone gets back to me, ping me pls
Thanks a lot, I'm new to modding
i have a problem with the invisible knight skin. it just shows up as the regular knight
Maybe you didnt put the skin at the correct location
it's the right one
1.4.3.2?
yep. all the skins work except the invisible
you have an extra folder in there should go mods/customknigh/skin name/[skin assets]
oh wait thats 1.5
hey yeah! i didn't realize that
i thought there wasn't an extra folder.
im gonna test it
it works!
thanks!
Hey, I was doing a randomizer and while I was looking around in my saves. I noticed that it set all my saves to be 55% completion, even my 112% one. Is it due to the game conflicting with the mod?
And is there a way to fix it? I don't want to have my main save stuck at 55% when I know I have it 112% completed
Oh wait....it fixed itself after I uninstalled it
So yea, might want to keep an eye out for that issue

I have scarab
I want to install custom knight skins and anyrad
but idk how to do it really
do i have to delete default?
im no expert, but you shouldnt have to. the customknight mod will show up in-game under the mods menu. there should be an option to scroll through skins
idk though
and i wouldnt be able to really help with technical stuff
How do you pull up the menu?
should be in options
yeah modders are crazy
wont let me switch skins though, idk why
i remember fireborn did the one shoddy infected tag video and then a mod was made for it
uhm
Because you need to put more skins in your folder
I cant just have 2?
Pngs*
that was a glitch or smth
looks like there isnt anything inside of the staryknight folder. there should be some image files or something
^
oh
Why do I need more?
I thought@the default one was the only one you had, mb
Do I need to restart my game maybe?
if you havent since you added the skin, likely
Yeah I didnt
wouldnt hurt
it worked ty
also Idk how to do anyrad mods still
yeah i wouldnt know much
might be a dumb question but how do i install the scarab mod installer do i click and download the windows zip?
i am super casual
Yes
yeah
Then
thanks it worked
i dont know why but my custom knight mod isnt working for scarab anymore, its not appearing on the mods list despite it being installed and enabled
?pins did you try the CK fixes
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
Check the pins
Scroll down a bit
There’s a list of fixes for custom knight should it not work
They work for 99% of issues
everything on that list is true for me, i have stachel downloaded and everything even in the menu it says i have custom knight installed but when i go to the folder its not there
Uninstall and reinstall happened to me too
uninstall scarab?
Yep
Nono
whole thign then reinstall
Dont
it takes like 10 secsd to reinstall why not
it worked for me I had the exact same thing
Follow number 5
there isnt even a number 5
There is
i'll try both
Reisntslling is probably kot gonna work
Try fix 5) and then if it doesnt then try reinstall
ok
thank you guys so much, it fixed 🙏 what usually causes this issue? so i know to avoid it in the future
Note sure yet, planning to get fixed when they know the issue iirc
Is there any other shop where you can buy hk and mod it apart from steam and gog? Is there even another place that sells it for pc?
Wrong channel
Lmao
I am an idiot
which one is the gun mod?
Hollow point
thanks

what do I do
hey i had a zip file with the backup saves for my hk
i recently died in steel soul and i wanna load back that file but whenever i copy and paste the steel soul backup file, it does not work... any help?
Did you extract the folder?
Well if thats the extracted folder
how do it tell?
The non extracted folder has a zip in it. Like if it was locked
You might wqnt to move it out of downloads tho, it can cause issues, but after that just click installed? on the mod you want and everything should be set up
um
I have no clue what i'm doing tbh
Just, let me resume it
● Move the extracted folder to your desktop
● Enter scarab .exe
● Download any mod by clicking the box next to installed?
Yeah the entire folder, not only scarab .exe
sure
this it (I have not extracted it yet)
Elaborate please
No you created a shortcut
Just drag the entire folder out
ok so i installed modinstaller for hollowknight
I also installed the skin I want to have
i followed this guide to do it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKx9Hqzy1OM&t=19s&ab_channel=fireb0rn)
i even downgraded the version of hollowknight to be compatible with the mod
A guide that explains how to install the CustomKnight mod and add your very own custom sprites to the game!

but when i try to run the game it crashes
so i am not sure what I am doing wrong
Ok give mw a second to analyze
I dragged it out this happend tho
Ok so then just extract it and all okay
Oh yesh almost (if not every) mod videos are outdated
Try getting "Scarab" instead
Over here
I did Nothing changed

You are free to ask

No as long as I know
Is there a current patch version of the bonfire mod?
Yes

A randomization output code that you can use to confirm with others that your seed and settings match before playing
how can i get the current patch version of the bonfire mod?

Does anyone know the mod where you can literally get a gun?
Hollow Point

hollow point is a type of bullet
hollow knight is the game
keeping the same first word is good word-play

change everything except the knight.png file
oh okok
also can anyone help me with setting up the speedurn mode made by underlein

Get qol then
oh okok
where can i get the 1.5 patch bonfire mod?
No
https://github.com/TheodoreChristianRadu/BonfireMod @late island
I've tried it myself and seems to work
Hi
Whats the error
Oh i think you need to download it manually
Can yo download weavercore via scarab?
I tried but gave the same error
Mhm ill pass the link in a second, need to get it first
What? do I need to download a different version?
No
Is that
Recent update kinda broke scarab
Some mods need to be installed manually
You basically just move certain folder to the mods folder, im working on getting it
okay
Sorry but i cant find it, looked everywhere and prob doesnt exist, maybe mickely or riverrobot knows
okay, thanks
oh, hi
Hey, the method works
download this?
okay
also, what version of scarab do you have
did you download the new one, v1.10
if you're still on 1.9, changing to 1.10 might fix this
After downloading WeaverCore, will it be divine to install other bosses through Scarab?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i installed the new version
I think hash mismatch is only happening on v1.10
m, there are 2 files in the WeaverCore archive, should I upload them to a separate folder?
CorruptedKin should appear in the pantheon?
weavercore, corrupted kin, inferno king grimm and nevermuffle should all now work normally again, if it doesn't, give it a minute or 10

Try turning native controller imput off
Hey there o/. Just had a quick question. I saw a YT video a few days ago where the guy start a new save file with the full map already revealed with all items/NPC/markers etc marked on the map. Im not sure but i think it was a rando run. Is that feature coming from the randomizer mod or its another mod to get that "full map"? Thanks 🙂
You can give yourself all maps with Debug
Randomizer map mod adds the pins but only in randomizer runs, there's also a Vanilla map mod
that worked tysm!!

getting ready for my first randomizer 2v2 tourney thing 😄
GoodLuck with it
Oh ok thanks for the info. What's exactly the vanilla map mod? I mean whats the difference between that and giving yourself all maps with debug mod?
On has pins with the items, the other doesnt

The top one
well if u want to install, the .exe
ok
do I want to update scarab, I saw people saying that it was breaking some things
The previous versions of Scarab were not properly checking to make sure that you had the correct files from a download.
The update is essentially a security update that does make sure you're getting the correct files.
The reason it was "breaking" some things, is because some mods were not uploaded correctly, and since the security wasn't working correctly before, it wasn't catching that problem before.
So to actually answer your question:
Updating is a good idea long-term. If you want, you can wait a week before updating, so that hopefully any mods that are having an issue right now will be fixed first,
to update, do I want to replace all the files (and will I need to re-setup mods) or do I only need to change a certain file
how do i stop my fps from turning into a vegetable
Neither?
When you update, you just re-download the newer version of Scarab, and then replace your existing Scarab files (the four in the folder). That's unrelated to your mods themselves.
How work the "skips options" in the randomizer mod? If you activate them does it mean you wont be able to progress without doing the activated skip?
Ye
it means that the game wont account for them. so you MIGHT be required to do them
the way the system works is it basically builds a pathway through all the abilities, and theres a lot of ways to make pathways
ok so as im pretty new in the game (only did one playthrough), i suppose its better i dont activate them, so i wont be blocked because i cant do the skips
so deactivating skips basically blocks off some pathways
if you are using the newest version of randomizer you COULD turn on "tough combat encounters", otherwise its not a good idea to have them
also tough combat encounters might be too rough depending on your combat abilities anyways :P
i may have a try ^^. So yeah if i dont activate the skips the randomize system should give me the movment skills (dash, claws etc..) to progress and wont force me to do the skips to progress right?
correct
ye all progression items will be easily accessible
okay 🙂
Is there a early access version of Hollow Knight you can access?
I wanted to download a beta version-
Do you know how to access it?
@muted flume Generally speaking, I would recommend starting with all skips Disabled.
Also, install Map Mod S, which allows you to see what the game thinks you can get when playing.
If you find that you are often getting things that the game doesn't think you can get, then you may want to start adding that kind of Skips to your settings.
theres a vid on youtube and a download link in the desc just search "hollow knight beta"
#modding-discussion pins 
^or that i had no idea
okay thanks for the infos @pliant lantern 🙂
If you have general Randomizer questions, feel free to ask in #randomizer
okay will do 😉
try turning down the resolution. i found it rly helps with my trash pc
how do i get a stable version?
if anyone is familiar with the mod installer, it is telling me to update the game to the latest version even though it is already updated. What do I do?
use scarab not modinstaller
what is that?
usually it works but even with 1 mod on it turns into like 2fps
check the pins, it's the mod manager for 1.5
how do i uninstall modinstaller
thank you so much <3
you can just delete it
where ever you downloaded it
You got the wrong one, was the name "source code"?
no
What did you download
oh
what did you click on on that page
on that page
Did you enter a page that had this?
similar
except the links were in discord
ok thanks
And download the one with the name of your OS (Windows.zip if you are on windows)
I am trying to use map mod s for a room rando but I can't get it to tell me a route
It says I need to press "menu select" to find a route but I don't know what menu select is
I have space mapped to jump so I assumed that was it but it does nothing
enter
do i need to extract the scarab files?
Of course
recently, i downloaded the mod installer and i cant find the hollow knight folder path (I downloaded hollow knight using xbox gamepass and not steam)
how do i play multiplayer, im trying to play with my friend but its not working

anyone having any trouble with the itemsync not working?
a group of friends wanted to do a randomizer co-op and we have been stuck here for an hour with a error message of missing RandomizerCore.RandoContext.Vanilla
this all started happening after we all updated to the most recent version of the mods
Yeah
I saw someone else with the problem
Weird
have you used the mod?
cause if so, does it come with that missing file before the update
Yes and no
hmmmm
cause if you have that file, i was going to ask if you could send me that file i mentioned up above
oooh alright
that would either be a function in randomizer core, or some variables it prints to settings
so.... either itemsync needs an update to work with the new rando files, or you need to clear your settings
Item Sync needs to update, yeah
Rando4 just had a big update today, and ItemSync won't work with it until it updates (which I imagine will be within a few days, tbh)
i installed the custom trial mod and a json file should be generating called CustomTrial.GlobalSettings.json but i can't seem to find it anywhere
does anyone have an older version of randomizer 4?
lol
cause if anyone can find an older version of this still then all the stuff would work theoretically
All of the Randomizer stuff is on Github.
Note: You'd need to get the previous full release for each part of it (all of the rando-related mods updated)
so im a bit confused on why my customknight skins arent working, they were working for the first little bit of me installing the mod (that being earlier today) and now the skins i have in my folder arent working, anyone have suggestions?
See if some of this happens to you
oh my god youre supposed to load them IN the game that makes so much more sense, for some reason it worked with the purple knight skin loading it from the main menu
but they are now working, thank you very much :)

I installed the randomizer to play with a friend and his version is 4.0.3 and mine is 4.0.2 and I don't see how to update it
Elaborate
I don't see how I can is there something that I need to say?
Like
What version of the game are you on?
Where did you got the game from?
What installer are you using?
Ah I see
Latest patch
Steam
Scarab
redownload scarab if possible
Hm and did you update scarab to v1.10?
and dont buy winrar
Lmao why that
I'll redownload but I installed it like 20 minutes ago
It says v1.10 on the download so I would assume so
Ok redownloaded and my version is still 4.0.2
I don't see what else to try I can't just update randomizer because it's not recognised as out of date
On Scarab, did you uncheck "Installed?", wait a moment, and then select "Installed" again?
I did do this
It just said randomizer
V4.0.2.0 still
If anyone has any other ideas please dm me it's almost 4 I need to sleep lmao
@lyric widget here is a direct download
Do you have the latest scarab update that may be the issue
H
This was what I was given
Also thank you so much I will see if that works in the morning
Knowing my luck something else will break
help my gun in 'hollow point' turned into a shotgun and wont work
Are you on a new save?
Or a old one
An old one
Try changing charms
i did
I made a terrible mistake while modding, I didn't make a backup, and I premanently replaced files. Luckily all I lost was some default knight .pngs, but I was wondering if there was like... some online directory with the default skin? Or just some way to recover it?
Installing custom knight gets the defsult skin back
So I should uninstall and re-install it?
Ye
OK, thank you so much, you're a lifesaver!
hey just joined the server does anyone have a link to modinstaller?

Some knows why the app says: type unknown
Hi, i'm trying to install the mod intstaller but it tells me it requires the most recent version og the game to work. I do have the most recent upload of the game. I checked on steam, and my game is up to date. What should i do ?
You're using the wrong installer. Check the pins
Anyone using Linux to mod the game?
thx, i used the one from the pins tho. Should i pick the scarab one instead ?
is someone there ? i downloaded the files on scarab but it's just files when i extract, there is no mod. What should i do ? I've never done that before
Just run the scarab.exe file I guess
Make sure that hollow knight isn't running yet
alright i'll try thx
No problem^^
it worked awesome !
now just click install on whatever thing you want and it will install
Fixed it, you need to run the Scrab file throw terminal:
- Download and unzip the .zip file
- cd to the .zip file location
- Run "chmod a+x Scarab"
- Run "./Scarab"
last questions
is there a place we can find what the mods do before installing ?
no just click install that is next to the mod name like hell mode there is disable and install click install then it will download the files then put it
then after it run the game and enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
thank you !

Hi guys umm is there an update on custom knight mod? Mine here is already outdated
Oh wait- nevermind i think I found it
It's very outdated and it's already in the pins
Nvm I still couldn't play RIP
What's the issue?
It's about the custom knight mod. I downloaded Scarab via in the pin and found out that the mod is outdated
Did you click the orange box?
I did
That's why I asked earlier if there's an upgrade or something
Because idk how xD sorry I'm not very good at modding this haha
There may have been a patch, if you clicked the orange box by "Out of date!" and it downloaded it should be fine. Is that your only issue, or is there something else happening?
So far that's it just the custom knight
If you updated it with scarab and checked back and it said out of date again, ignore it, scarab may be having an issue, as long as it works in-game
server
It works! Thank you
And sorry it's also my first time using scarab xD
That's fucking silksong my guy
Although there is a skin in which you can be smol hornet
yes i now i am using that
There's also just silksong bnr
its realy cute
It's not great but it does that
umm i need help... i tried the scarab but like it wont open... i is on mac :0
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.
