scarab doesn't work it crashes when i launch the game
Mod installer 2 installs things in different formats that don't work on current patch. Did you move things
@coarse crater
i dont know
Can you send a picture of your mods folder?
Guys i need some help, im trying to play HK on 3840x1080 monitor, is there a way i could see more elements on screen instead of widening whole game?
no
well rip
well, the easiest thing to do would be to delete your game and start over completely
Install a save file with legacy quickslash
since serecore and other things are being loaded on current patch, which they shouldn't be
wait i think its because i didnt delete the mods for the downpatch
ok
i have the steam version + lasted patch
(if you don't want to redownload everything, you can just delete the Managed folder)
and verify integrity of game cache
that's most of the files anyway.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
and mac has multiple managed files
cleaner to just delete everything
and let the installer handle things
I imagined. Thanks
it doens't work
Then delete everything as Mickely said
I was never talking to ?.
Oh, my bad
i have already did so
well verify integrity. then when it's done, open scarab and uninstall/reinstall the mods you want
Hey, I followed the instructions for manually downloading mods and it didn't work. I'm pretty sure this problem is unfixable, but no harm in asking about it I guess
what problem. what mods
The mod in question is "Traitor God," and the problem is that I can't get it to show up in game
did you put the dll in a folder
Yes
is this a 1.5 version? afaik, it wasn't ported
I don't know. I can't even find the download on the internet anymore
Hmm, too much trouble. I'd probably break the game in the process
@real jacinth Thank you!!
how do you disable focus with debug mod
because it got disabled for some reason so i want to enable it
why does custom knight often not work
it like stops applying skins
if u do it like 4 or 5 times
then u have
to restart the game
To fix Soul (after using Hollow Point)
small_orange_diamond Using MoreSaves from Scarab 1.5 Only!:
- In the Hollow Knight main menu, go to Options > Mods > MoreSaves > Save Edit
- In the search bar, type "focusMP_amount"
- Set the value to 33
- Click "Apply"
small_orange_diamond Using QoL (Quality of Life) mod:
- Go to your save files (type ?saves in chat if you don't know where that is)
- Locate user#.json (with # being the save slot number)
- CTRL+F "focusMP_amount"
- Set the value to 33
small_orange_diamond Without using another mod:
- Go to https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/
- Go to your save files (type ?saves in chat if you don't know where that is)
- Locate user#.dat (with # being the save slot number)
- Upload that file to the website
- CTRL+F "focusMP_amount"
- Set the value to 33
- "Download encrypted (PC)"
- Rename it to the original filename (it will download as user1.dat, rename if you edited a different save slot.)
- Move the file back to the save file folder (and overwrite the old one)."
Thats a pin yknow
Is there a version of multiworld that works with the latest version of rando?
No, multiworld isnt on 1.5 yet
Altough I heard Archipelago works similarly
Thanks
hey is there a rando 5?
No
Yeah
oh okay then thank you. Ive been wondering fior a while if mine was up to date.
Shallow
Delete the mods on the scarab list
Right click the scarab folder then click delete and finally, verify file integrity
ok thanks
I have the pirated game and it crashes when I have the mod
Its because your game is pirated
Buy the game
I’m poor
Well sorry but mods dont work on pirated
I dont think so. Pirated ver work different
I understand you, the bad thing about having the pirate game bruh
@simple shadow hollow knight is incredibly cheep, i would recommend just buying it
They don't have the money for it even tho it's cheap
ok but dont go into the official server looking for help
every time i open scarab it closes right away how can i fix this
You're on macos right?
windows
Run as admin
can someone help me install item randomizer mod?
Is your game open? If yes close it
closed
And are the other files that came with scarab in the same folder on the desktop
yes
not for me
A shit mobile sucks meant spleens
Elaborate
?
-Asking for Help
You can ask for help but be smart about it. Generic questions get generic answers or are more often ignored, or it's a question game. Ask smart specific questions like so:
-Explain your problem in detail
-Explain all solutions you have tried thus far
-Give vital information like where you bought the game, game version, OS, and input devices (e.g. controller / keyboard)
-If your problem pertains to mods, list ALL mods installed
-Screenshot your game's title screen.
so my problem is that I can't find any links to install hollow knight item randomizer mod when I install it modinstaller can't recognize the file as a mod can you give me a file for the mod if you have one or tell me where to download it?
It's on the installer
^^
thanks for trying but i just think my pc is not compadable
Explain
so every time i open scarab it just closes right away
screenshot where your file is

Other than using butterfly
So ig thats what youll do
butterfly?
Another modinstaller

Close game, run as admin
Butterfly isnt used by a lot of people since its wip and can have some major bugs eg that can occur often
The problem is with the mod installer not the game
thank you so much
It can install a mod if your game is open
yes. close game, run scarab as admin
ye i know
and make sure scarab is on desktop
Hey so I'm using Scarab, and one of the mods it shows there is GhostHunter, but when I try install it encounters an error and I can't find any reference to it online. It's supposed to be an addon to HKMP to let you see other players' enemies
Also I just made my name more pingable in case anyone needs that
ty!!!
your game must be closed to install mods
I had the same Issue but fixed that
but now on startup just a black screen shows up
Still can see mouse and hear music but it's completely black
this was when I went from 1.4.3.2 (which worked fine) to latest version (1.5) to use scarab
is there a fix or something or would I have to downgrade again to 1.4.3.2
alright I'll try that
my custom knight causes heavy lags (i know its custom knight because when i disable it it doesnt lag anymore)
does someone know how to fix that?
not without context
doing that made no difference, could it possibly be a problem with my Mac?
when the mod is enabled it lags. happens with every skin. i dont know more either
i also just updated the new 2.1.0.0 version for custom knight today
can someone remind where i yeet the skins for the custom knight skins

multi tasking
what other mods do you have? what patch are you on? what installer
playing dota and helping useless people like me
and any other relevant info
i use scarab and im on the newest version
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but why can't I see the costs and items in my randos? I'm having a lot of trouble finding the parameter that does it and I don't know why I can't see what they are.
is this better? (it still lags btw)
where is that? I have no memory of turning off previews. Is there another setting that includes it by accident?
no
try with only customknight and satchel
ok ty
do i need to move the skin file somewhere else
you need to unzip
Can you tell me what the setting is called? I've run through all these menus and the only thing that looks like that is "Long Location Previews", but the description sounds like something else
?
more randomizer settings
none of these sound like it
what do i do when a mod is out of date? im stupid
click orange box
yes
ok thank you
did you look in miscellaneous? randomized items?
novelties?
still nothin as far as I can tell
My friend has Hollow Knight on a computer disc and isn't sure how to update it. Is there anyway to update it to the current patch? I don't really know where else to ask this
they cant
you need a code for steam or gog
which any disc version also comes with
oh ok so it was that?
did you try it
i just searched preview in the readme. and this is the only section that even had that word in it
I reset it to default and then put the settings back how I had them, the ones I knew wouldn't cause that, so we'll see when I get to dirtmouth
OK it worked!!
the description made me think it was just stopping things like soul totems in places like WP from being randomized
am i the only one who updated custom knight and have problems with the game
Maybe, maybe not

stuff like this happends after i updated a couple mods
no i had problems too
Wtf is going on with the particles
is there anyway to downpatch a mod
Yes download it from github
im having unplayable amount of lag after updating custom knight
Is the dump function enabled?
dump?
also i tried playing again and its like this
do you have the link for that i only have the link for downloading scarab
sry if im stupid
In the ck mod menu at the bottom
Is Angel Knight an option for scarab mod loader? I can't seem to find it but I just installed the thing so I might just be looking in the wrong places.
Pause menu => options =>mods => custom knight
- 5 modinstaller
Amgel knight? Thats a custom knight skin
is scarab sttill down
No?
Ita not
I see, thank you.
Wdym
is this correct
Do I need to go through Custom Knight and put it in or do I just install that mod and it's in the rotation?
scarab wasnt working earlier and i was told servers were down
Use custom knight
Eh well its been working
i just wanna figth IKG 😭
If it wasnt working its a client problem
Close your game run as admin
no
use fireborns new guide
Run scarab as admin yea
is there a way to like fix my custom knight mod lagging a shit ton
I was emforcing your message link ._.
it wasnt like this before update
get a better pc

i think its the new version because i never had lags before updating
It also depends on how many mods/skins you have
same
i deleted all my skins and only tried with the swapper demo and it still happend
i also deleted custom knight and installed again
did delete and reintall help
no
A yes didn't realise that it was a the update and that the pc wasn't a clear joke
ima test play hk without custom knight and see if its playable
im sorry englisch isnt my first language
if i can play without custom knight then its probably a issue with custom knight
it should be
at least that worked for me
yes the game is completely fine after uninstalling custom knight
ima reinstall later after restart pc i also gota do smth real quick
and only use nekomata as the skin and delete all other skin
ok but i dont think that will work
the people who make that will probably have to fix that
*mod
can't seem to get my mods to work
anyone knows possible reasons why?
customknight 2.1 is definitely extremely laggy
windows 11 a problem?
No
https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ try following this guide it worked for me and im on windows 11
Looking to start modding Hollow Knight? Here's your guide to get started. It's now easier than ever, and if you have problems, there's a great Discord server with plenty of people who can help you out. HKMP (multiplayer) will be covered in a separate video at a later date.

Heyo CK maintainer here, CK 2.1 has a few issues that I am working on fixing.
in the meantime, replacing your CustomKnight.dll with the one here should roll you back and allow you to continue playing https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/releases/tag/v2.0.1
ty
is there a mod that allows you to repeat pop over and over
how do i use this?
i installed this
still doesn't work unfortunately. I do everything accordingly, but the loading bar just doesn't show up when loading in the game
how do i replace dll file
could it be because I used to have the pirated version of the game?
Idk if I fully uninstalled
u need the 1.5 version in steam
im very confused on how to use custom knight github to replace dll
i deleted the old on and put the new one in the mod folder
it worked for m
me
got htat
i have no idea why the dll files aren´t below there tbh
just like this?
What are y'all trying to do
this
this should work right
do you know why i have the .dll files below the other folder for the mods?
no you have to put it in the custom knight folder and reaplace
here it should work like that
does it work?
i just clicked replace file destination
ima play the game rn
so far it lags MUCH less on transitions and shitr
back to normal prettyu much
ok i think its fixed
yeah i fight ar and its fine now
ok good night
good night
Is there a local play mod out there?
not without using HKMP
what versions of macos aren’t supported for modding?
So I'm using the rando mod along with Transcendence and for some reason when i equipped Shaman Amp it increased the notch cost of all the modded charms
where do i put health bar skin mods do i put it in the health bar folder or the custom knight folder
Idk, i have a blue pear, do i put it on the pear basket or in the apple basket
on top of that the randomizer has broken and now everything is vanilla again
Link anywhere?
i still don't know
You litteraly said health bar, so it obviously goes to debug mod folder
No I'm talking about the link for local multiplayer
After all, health bars arent related to health bar folder
I already got hkmp
Theres a section in that link
can someone help me set up mod installer

To try to make a mod using it.
install a mod using scarab
then reference the csharp assembly
also, wrong channel
Oh sorry
is anyone else having issues with the custom knight mod?
Notice about a recent common problem causing lag spikes
The latest Custom Knight update appears to have a bug that causes massive lag for some users. If you experience game freezes / lag spikes after updating, then you will need to either:
- disable Custom Knight, or
- manually install the previous patch, found here
https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/releases/download/v2.0.1/CustomKnight.dll (To manually change back, just download this .dll file, then press "Open Mods" on Scarab, open the "Custom Knight" folder, and replace the .dll that's in the folder with this one)
The mod author (Dandy) is aware of this bug, and will have a fix posted as soon as they can. We will post again when it is fixed.
yo thanks a lot!!
the mod itself doesnt work but it does indeed fix the problem with lag, is that supposed to happen?
my brother deleted scarab, I downlead it back, but it doesn't work.
So, I've downloaded scarab by using the fireborn vid, and I clicked on "open mods" in scarab but nothing happened, scarab just closed
Am I supposed to make a mod folder myself?
ok nvm, solved it myself
what's this mean'
That you can update the mod by clicking the orange box
i read the pinned message but i still don't have any idea what it is, could anyone spare sometime and help me install a mod?
try this @lone lintel
Hello, I wanted to ask you if you knew why the scarab modinstaller does not open when I click? xd
okay, i installed my wanted mod, do i have to keep the scarab on to make the mod work or i can close it
It doesn’t matter
Did you follow the guide wangha replied to above your message
level editor?
Decoration master
hey i once raised my nail damage with a deBug mod but now i uninstalled the mod but still deal more damage. is there anyway i can fix that?
what dis
does someone know how to start the pale court mod or is it just the rick roll-? I cant figure out how to start it or where to start it
i think thats just the icon saying "this is modded" i got that too everytime i use mods
odd, then idk, im new to modding
Spaghetti = your game is modded
how do i remove it?
You downloaded pail curt not pale court

thx
sad, i was looking forward to it
are there any other "expansion" mods currently out-?
aw qwq
I’ve downloaded some mods with scarab, but whenever I open hollow knight on steam it instantly crashes without saying anything. Do you know what the problem is?
right click hk in steam -> properties -> betas
The only other information I really have is that it worked fine before I downloaded the mods, as well as I tried on both 1.2.2.1 and 1.4.3.2 and both did the same thing
.
Thanks, I’ll attempt to do that
Reinstall a mod after using that beta
Ok
is the mod manager by Gradow outdated or something- tried installing some mods with it but the game just dont start up with it, worked with scarab tho (using this one cuz of the lance mod i wanted to try)
It is
sad
Lance mod?
is there another way to play those mods then?
You mean lightbringer
thank you
Thanks, that worked
quick question again- is the bonfire mod unusable currently or... cuz the game wont start while i have that one
doubt it
it only has the dll file
missing the pdb
i prob got the 1.4 then
where is the 1.5 tho
...wait now hollow knight wont start at all no matter if i have bonfire or nor
Verify file integrity then install a mod with scarab
hold on
the game wont start at all anymore
even if i remove all mods form scarab
fuck
Well that’s normal when you install a mod from the wrong version
^
is there any way to fix it--?
.
i mean
Im pointing at you the solution
doesnt make sense to me but alright ill try it
Verify doesnt delete the mods. It deletes the api
im new to this so a lot prob wont make sense
Wich its what makes it crash
i didnt verify tho- i just unchecked all mods on scarab and then removed the non-scarab mods from the folder
alr verifying rn
The problems isnt the mods
The problem is the api
Wich doesnt get uninstalled by deleting all the mods
ooooooooh
ymean the "not working mods" apis will linger on the code until i do the varifying thing?
verifying*
Yes
wait how do i install non scarab mods then?
A guide here
You get the right version of the mod
Tells you how
Hey !

Hey, I downloaded and launched the game with randomizer and hkmp with a good friend, but we do not know how to connect to the same server after the randomisation (we are on the same router) How can I host the game on my pc ? It is explained for HKMP but not coupled with rando ...
(The problem is for itemsync)
Yes, but how do I use ItemSync with it ? It asks us to connect to a server, how do we host it ?
There are two links on that message
Do I use the ip of my pc ?
No
Thanks, I've finally found it !
Near a bench, look down and press cdash button
when not doing randomizer, what are the placements for the charms added by Transcendence?
is there a mod that enables bindings in hall of gods?
so that i can practice bosses with bindings?
yea
I literally can't focus on one of my saves
other save is fine
but my main one
the focus button doesn't heal me
it does spells tho
wick version of the games is bet to run with scarab?
can you send a download link or something?

Hello Guys, A Friend and I wanted to play Hk multi but I have paid the game, and he haven't, it seems like when he tries to download hkmp with scarab he get an unity crash handler error, are they any solutions?
ive got an question so if i install with a friend a mulitplayer mod can we then only do pvp or can we kill bosses togehter and play the game through?
You cant mod unnoficial versions of the game
why did my question about hp bar skins not get answered
A lot of reasons can be the thing
No people available at the momebt
No one knew the solution
And much others
understandable
where can i find ultimatum radiance
Tmk you can’t get it on the most recent version since it isn’t ported yet
I think any radiance has been ported though
Why are you using ver 1.4.3.2 of the game?
for mods
modinstaller said i needed a different version and when i put it on that it worked
That’s because that mod installer only works on that version
I suggest using scarab and ver 1.5, while your issue likely isn’t related to this, fixing it likely won’t help development of anything and most stuff will be outdated

Well. Actually
Also dont download from nexus
heyo, so i notice dthat the new update of custom knight has been causing a lot of lag, and someone told me to downgrade CK by downloading the DLL of a past version. I deleted the DLL for custom knight 2.1.0.0, and replaced it with the DLL that they linked. the lag stopped so thats good but the actual custom knight doesnt work, I'm not able to switch any of my skins. Is this supposed to happen or did I do something wrong?
Did you install the skins again?
yeah
they show up on the list of skins
but they dont actually get switched to that
Is the setting activated that the knight can get changed?
let me check that
yeah, its enabled
i have messed around with a skin before by switching the HUD with one that I like more, so I thought that was the cause, but it doesnt even let me change to the swapper demo one
^^
i did some things on there, let me try it now
it works now!! thanks a lot for the help
I updated HK and installed Scarab for first time, and the game just keeps crashing. I do get a error message but it disappears too quick to read it.
Hey, so I figured out how to mod Hollow Knight, but I need help with hitboxes.
I want the game to show me my hitbox, the bosses' attack hitboxes, and the bosses' hitboxes.
Where did you get the game from
I have the debug mod installed, and when I did "enable hitboxes" it just showed the boss hitboxes and not the other things I wanted.
And to what version did you update
Do I need to install a separate mod for that?
Steam, and I think it went to the most recent update, which is 1.5.75 iirc
Just check, are you on the beta "none"?
... (facepalms) Nope!
where do i go to the more advanced settings were i can turn on pvp and change spell damage
wasn't the a place in settings to do that or have they changed that?

So uh the GhostHunter mod doesn't work properly
I think it's supposed to be little Mario ghosts in the place of the other players' bugs
But instead we get super glitchy stretched ghost pngs
Send a picture of what you mean
Show hit boxes should show you every hit box. What mods do you have?
I currently can’t
Not when I am in a car
Ah, I see
Use mobile if you don’t know how to take a screenshot
Nah we just getting them
I got some.
You can double click the setting which should show all hitboxes
One more
@abstract badger
They flash around in a manner deserving of a seizure warning.
how do i remove mods kek
Are you using Scarab?
i dont think i used scarab
The guide i pointed to above should work
ah yeah i just scrolled thanks
anyone know why the infinite radiance climb in godseeker + isnt working? summons the first 3 platforms but nothing else.
is it conflicting mods or something?
hii, what launcher is better for skins?
Scarab
thanks
🤔there may be an issue with the one on scarab
@storm skiff
what's the port for hkmp
@zinc arch
Yes
so if person one is on steam and person two has game pass does it work with playing together
Why wouldnt it
idk
but im using hamatchi and it wont work
when we enter the info
it says it timed out
Thats because you did something wrong
well were both on the hamatchi server and when we do it in hollow knight it dont work and its the same info and everything
Thats because you did something wrong
how
How should i know, you didnt give any real info
Try looking at the guide again
Or use a public server
I did
But I don’t understand what’s wrong
Can I not have other mods at the same time
You can
how do i reset the location of the mods
is there an AnyRadiance mod for scarab
reset the modinstaller
Yes
can i have the link to it
@link459

thank you!
Oh its scarab not mod installer anymore thanks
Do I need to do something to switch from mod installer to scarab? (ModInstaller is currently affecting the game and I'm not able to open it)
ye, download scarab
I gotta do nothing else?
Thanks, then
and give me $20
Oh no
then mods will work
I see you're a mod yourself
- the best pun I ever said
mods are server police. modding staff is modding tech support
I think I'm donwloading scarab's sourcecode
Dont
Is this the sourcecode
no
so, im on a mac, and i just had to delete HK to fix some bugs i got due to modding (i assume) I redownloaded, but no i cant figure out how to get the mods working again. Does anyone know how to get Scarab routed to HK or whatever?
based
just run it. it auto detects your game path
it didnt
if you reinstalled your game, you need to uninstall/reinstall a mod
you removed the api
so just uninstall the mods?
one
ok
unless you fully deleted your game files before, then yeah. uninstall all and reinstall them
it worked, thx
Wait, I can't install mods on scarab?
quick question, where can i get the latest mod loader/dowloader?
Can someone help me with scarab custom knight
?
your game is open
close game then install mods, then open game
to mod, do you have to have HK on a computer? I have it on Switch.
Is Bench Warp Fix still required for Bench Warp and random spawn location?
Yeah, unfortunately there aren't mods for Switch. I bought it on PC as well as switch
Modding on switch is a whole thing too, and you can't go online with a modded switch
Bench warp fix tends to break things
Got a crash when using scarab, I dont really know how it works and I got hk working fine with some mods installed without scarab
Up-patch to 1.5 or use modinstaller 1/2
Is there a 1.5 for steam
Yes the beta name is none
Public-beta?
None

What folder do i put it in?
Elaborate
Use scarab to install mods
it wont open
Follow this guide
i did
it wont open
i need to uppatch to 1.5? i was told that i needed to downpatch!
is there a mod that immediately spawns you in path of pain for practice?
guide starts with that
That should exist. I hate having to delete and place the save files everytime for another run
Use qol
It disables the wall on pop?
Yeah it allows you to break it again or place a bench in there with Benchwarp
Wdym
Oh great, ty
oooh thats interesting
You click the button that says install 
Is there a mod to teleport to places? I just got inspiration to do PoP again and currently have no savefile close enough
Change your patch to 1.5 for scarab
oh, ok
Please read the guide next time
Benchwarp
Also do I need to install mod menu? Moresavefiles's talking about it
Oh I tough it was only checkpoint based, thanks (In the same way dreamgate works)
Welp now that I think about I need gear too, I'll just get a hacked file
Pretty sure
Pretty sure of what?
They're working
👍
i just use debug mod + benchwarp then boot up a new file for pop practice
Yeah
But I can benchwarp to pop's entrance?
how do i go back to 1.5
Deploy a bench there
Go to steam and select beta as none
when i get to pop
Oh, so I'll just do that
thats when i put a bench
Why not warp to atrium in palace
Yeah
how do i submit the ting
PoP Is like getting over it, once you do it for the first time, it becomes a relaxing activity, it's beautiful
except the 2nd to last room
for me
its always a struggle
Just select it and close the thing and it will work
For me it's just the jumping chainsaw one, frick that room
How do I get do I get pure nail with debug mod
hey, I've installed scarab and a few mods by using it. However, it seems to just have no affect on my game. I'm not getting a loading bar while booting the game, no text in the top left of my screen, and just no mods present in my game. Any help is appreciated, thanks
Hi so i want to make the game 21:9 and all the tutorials just make it like smaller? like it stays in 1920x1080 but the top gets cropped out more yet the first time i did it, it worked? but whenever i even fully delete the game and stuff it doesnt fix it, idk what to do, i just wanna play game in my monitor size

Is there any mod version that mantis gods and pale prince can appear in p5? the ones on scarab don't work.
Hey how do I get the multiplayer hollow knight mod to work
WHere the hell do I install custom knight
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
for some reason I've gotten random lag spikes after downloading mods, any reasons for that?
It was completely fine before
Where can I get mods from without Scarab?
Yesterday I had an issue with the GhostHunter mod and someone suggested that maybe the Scarab version was broken
If you updated custom knight recently, that's the issue. There is a problem with a recent version. You can either check if the mod was updated again, simply disable it or install manually the previous version
ok thanks
so would this be enough?
Here there's a tutorial on how to manually install mods
I think you have to disable it from scarab, not in game
ok, thx!
Notice about a recent common problem causing lag spikes
The latest Custom Knight update appears to have a bug that causes massive lag for some users. If you experience game freezes / lag spikes after updating, then you will need to either:
- disable Custom Knight, or
- manually install the previous patch, found here
https://github.com/PrashantMohta/HollowKnight.CustomKnight/releases/download/v2.0.1/CustomKnight.dll (To manually change back, just download this .dll file, then press "Open Mods" on Scarab, open the "Custom Knight" folder, and replace the .dll that's in the folder with this one)
The mod author (Dandy) is aware of this bug, and will have a fix posted as soon as they can. We will post again when it is fixed.
hi i need some help with custom trial , i have 1.5 , mod installed with scarab launched the game to generate the json , pasted some already written waves and stuff , when i get to the trial , nothing comes up i come back to the folder and i find this :
{
"Waves": [],
"GeoReward": 0
}
given that i saved the file before , it becomes like this , and what i wrote before transfers into a BAK file
in the old modlogs folder ? yeah , what can i do with it ?
i actually translated this xml : https://pastebin.com/70fuxRHH to json using an online converter, got the xml from one fireborn video
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
yo, im curious, are there any "custom maps" that some ppl made that has a different story, map design and more (?)
