???
@novel yew???
It automatically replaces the charm sprites
k tnx

where is the mod folder in the steam version?
browse local files > hk data
thanks
so i got the mod installer 2 and i checkmark a mod i want (specifically randomizer 3 and enemy randomizer) and i click on the think to install them and like a checkmark shows up but its not blue and i cant enable it. idk if its just installing really slow or something happened and when i click on the checkmarks again an error appears in the file. can anyone help?
Why are you using mod installer 2
And not scarab
i used scarab and my hk lagged a lot
and relyea told me to install this
Thats ck probably
Outdated video
That is not true
it was 4 months ago
Its outdated
💀
Bruh to be outdated it doesnt need to be 4 years old
im just getting into modding it so how would i know
what does that mean?
Custom knight
Custom knight, one of its updates generated a lot of lag
however, that is fixed now

if so then why is it linked in pinned if im not supposed to use it
oh, ok. but that's not all, because some yellow lines appears too
Thats for very old pcs and some very specific problems that makes them not able to use scarab
oh, then i can't fix it?
how do I use the skin swaper?
Dw about it
Hmm
You said you wanted to send a screenshot right?
yeah
i cant change the skins as I do in th older version
Well this is the moment ig
i get the game from steam and i'm on windows 11
Go to options > mods > custom knight
the swaper its enabled
but it still dont work
I cannot use the list like before?
<@&328354344313421825>
thanks
1.5 uses a Mod Menu, instead putting a lot of stuff on the pause menu
what about me?
did you try disabling the mods 1 by 1to see what the problem was
let me check
How do I uninstall scarab? I was trying to do some stuff and I've pretty much royally fucked up so now I'm just trying to start fresh
delete the folder
Deleted it but it still shows the modding api in game
Uninstalling scarab wont uninstall the api
Go to steam > right click HK > properties > local files > verify game integrity
Got it
still happening with every mod, or even with all the mods unabled
I downloaded the enemy randomizer but I don't see how to turn it on?
Try without mods
If youdownloaded the right one there should be a button in main menu
Its says load enemy randomizer IIRC
already did it. still laggy
Hmm I don't see a button for that
so i uninstall it and install it again?
i mean if your problem occurs with and without it, installing it again isn't going to solve it lmao
I downloaded the one linked in here
#archived-modding-help message
the one here?
And did you follow the instructions to install it properly?
The same message
then what can i do?
I followed the instructions and I'm still not seeing it
It says it's here but I dunno where the button it
I said main menu lol
Its on main menu
wait how do i get enemy randomizer
sorry if i sound dumb but i dont see it in scarab
Where
Send your modlog
The one in scarab?
do i just ignore the warning saying it can harm my computer
I don't know where that is
If it could harm your pc. It wouldnt be here on the official server

ok thanks
This?
Like the mod file then?
I don't understand what the saves file is
I'm sorry, I am very bad at this stuff 
Here on this message
Theres Save files and Game Files
I followed that file path but I don't see anything like that
Wait copy and pasted what?
The path
ok so i dragged the enemy randomizer mod folder with the .dll into the mods folder with the other mods and its not showing up on scarab
Did you follow the guide above the enemy rando part?
yeah
Well that says that the dll should be on a folder inside mods folder
Sounds like you put it directly on mods folder 
Scarab doesnt check the folder it loads from memory
guys im trying to mod hk on game pass with scarab but it keeps saying there was an exception when installing mods
so what i do is i open mods folder create a new folder inside the mod folder take the .dll of the enemy rando and just drag it into that specific folder and it should show up on scarab
I got it
No not on scarab
In hollow kkight
Also dont forget to do the same for modcommon
Its needed for enemy rando
ok thanks
So what do I do with this?
Pass the modlog here. I could see whats the problem
Also try deleting EnemyRandomizer.GlobalSettings.json and EnemyRandomizer.GlobalSettings.json.bak
still not working
i might try uninstalling then reinstalling
yes
So I delete those and it should work?
Its unzipped
yes
Try, send the modlog anyways
And you are running scarab as admin
It worked! Ty!
pretty sure
And your game isnt open
yes
This problem is actually new-
Congrats
We can try for a not very short amiunt of time or just try another option (butterfly)
ill just try re running scarab
cuz its running as admin
but ill restart
ah
that worked
sry for bothering
it says enemy rando is on in the mods section of the pause menu of the game yet none of the enemys are randomized
I don't want to be irritating, but if I download Scarab, will I have to delete the old version of the mod installer?
Also, is it safe to download? I'm sure it is since it's in such a public server, but I'm super paranoid about stuff like this and I have to make sure
is it possible to use hollow knight mods on a macbook at all?
Yes its safe. And not only a public server. Its the official one
No need to delete modinstaller but your game may break if you use it while on latest patch (dw its not permanent, can be fixed very easily)
And no progress will be lost
Ah, thank you! I really need to satisfy my paranoia somehow ^^'
Although I'm still not completely certain
And the old ModInstaller doesn't open when I try to open it anymore so it's probably good to just get rid of it
okay thanks, how do i use that if you know how? i dont have much experience at all with modding type-things
whats the name for the gun mod?
Hollow point
thanks
You dont need any external program to mod on mac
oh okay
uh, I need some help with Randomizer 4
Ok. Whats the thing?
When I start a new rando save I can't hit geo rocks/lifeblood cocoons with the nail, when I try to pick up something the player character just stands there and nothing happens, when I interact with lore tablets I get stuck and can't quit, and the pause menu doesn't work
Do you have all dependencies?
What's that?
I checked, yeah I have them all
hey i have a problem
i dont know if i installed the wrong github but i cant seem to find the scarab.exe folder
are there any mods or setting in QOL that make radiant fights less monotonous?
if it's not in downloads, go to quick access and search for it. If it's not showing up still, redownload it and have it open when ready by double clicking on the download or pressing on the arrow. If you're not on windows, I have no idea
Are there any mods that make hollow point not work properly? I'm using the most recent version of scarab and the geo menu looks weird and also I can't shoot the gun
Hollow point doesnt work on new saves
about custom knight skins, im trying to paste one in my files but there isnt a hollow knight data folder i can find?? im on mac so if anybody knows how to locate that itd be helpful
.
steam
I downloaded Scarab and extracted the files into a different folder
Do I need the original Windows ZIP folder or can I just delete it?
You can just delete it
my friend has been playing hk on their laptop for a few weeks now and their game doesnt stop crashing every 5-20 mins or so. we've tried everything we could think of (updating drivers, verifying file integrity, uninstalling, etc) and i don't think its a performance issue as it crashes no matter what graphic setting they use. i've brought this up here before but still nothing fixed it, any suggestions?
How can I use enemy randomizer on Scarab?
nvm i got it working
How do i warp to leg eaters bench using bench warp
pause-> click it -> press warp
Yeah but click what
leg eater bench
Under wastes?
should be in the fungal wastes category
It's red
that means you haven't unlocked it
But i have
can someone help me with the hkhkhkhkhk mod?
how do i unbound the kaybinds in debug mod?
Trying to customize inventory item sprites using CustomKnight, how do I get the image files for that?
You dont
Thats wip
Dang
Hi 🙂
where can i get the gun mod??
i read that its posted somewhere around this server
Scarab
Hollow point doesnt work on new saves
Do you have the mod Vasi
Check
No
So i have this bug on ps4/ps5 where my music doesnt work, but the rest of the audio does. It started while i was trying to fight pv in godhome (not pantheon 4) and at one point the music cut. I realized it was helpful so i turned it down. Then when i turned it back up, nothing. Restart game, nothing. "Restore to default" in settings, nothing.
Idk if you guys can help, i was just told to put this here.
ok so whenever i enable a skin mod (specifically grimmnight) my enemy randomizer doesnt work
it was working just fine before i enabled a skin
hello, is there a mod where it lets you name your save file? or customize the design of save file or smth? xdd

Oh give me a second
Follow the guide here below
#archived-modding-help message
And the link to the mod is here
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610754780461006848/956039971381329970/Any1578.dll
You need to have satchel installed for it to work
thanks
can anyone help
The two mods are probably incompatible, not much you can do other than disable one of them
tried that it didnt work
it says like an error occured and the mod stays enabled
An error ocurred?
Does it say "check modlog.txt"?
uh let me check if it says that
What I mean is to close hollow knight and uninstall one of the mods
Oh it says it on scarab doesnt it
mhm
run scarab as admin
Or close the game
If it worked for them before and didnt run as admin its because its open
i closed the game multiple times to turn off the mod
idk how to run it as admin
Or your scarab isnt on desktop that could be it
Right click scarab
right click > run as admin
i cant open it now and a text file shows up that theres an exception
Can you screenshot it?
it says System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SkiaSharp.SKImageInfo' threw an exception.
---> System.DllNotFoundException: Dll was not found.

Also remember
Scarab needs to be on a folder in desktop, with the other three files inside
Any place that is not on desktop may break it
oh
Hmm i dont remember this one

ok i can open it now
k lets see if it works now lol
ok so i have to reload the enemy ranomizer
and my custom skin wont show up even when i have it enabled
are you applying the skin
i put the skin into the custom skins folder in mods and i enabled custom skin so it should show up but it isnt
wait wth the skin disappeared
idk how that happend but whatever ill just reinstall it
how do ppl chat in multiplayer hk?
press t
thx
what is the multiplayer mod called?
hkmp
im trying to select an installation path but it keeps saying invalid path... im confused
and how to u start playing??
Is there anyway to see which transitions you have available in room rando?
Install MapModS or look at HelperLog
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z35cFvU0McQ&t=1195s this might also help
I have the mod, how can I tell?
The highlighted/bright rooms tell you where you have unchecked transitions
If you press CTRL-U you'll also bring up a panel telling you exactly which transitions are unchecked/visited for a selected room
What color are the highlights?
The colors tell you something else
Whether or not it is bright or dark tells you if there are more transitions to explore there
https://github.com/syyePhenomenol/HollowKnight.MapModS/blob/master/MAPLEGEND.md the chart on the very right
Regarding the issue of my randomizer mod not turning on, I already have all the dependencies - including QoL when I checked on Scarab
But MenuChanger still does not appear on the main game screen, and randomizer just does not work
Try uninstalling and reinstalling each dependency on Scarab
I will try that again
Thanks!!!
It works again now - maybe something happened when I first tried uninstalling everything
Scarab do be like that sometimes
Man :(
ive noticed that for some reason, when downloading a mod with dependencies for the first time, the respective dependencies don't get automatically enabled, but they do when you enable a previously downloaded mod
does anoyone know if ppl can see ur custom knigt skin with hkmp

k thx
I can't heal
I was playing with Hollow Point mod and I can't heal anymore after disabaling it
Is the mod uninstalled?
ill ask again ig
can someone help me? so basically when i try open scarab it closes immediatly
and i dunno what to do
mac btw
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.
oh god thanks

Hi, can anyone help me with this? It seems the rando mods coudln't load, what to do now? Am I supposed to be on a different game version or what?
You are missing a few dependencies, grab these on Scarab:
- MenuChanger
- Vasi
- QoL
And you have the wrong version of Randomizer. Go to your Mods folder and delete the Randomizer folder, and install it from Scarab
I have the dependencies and installed the rando through Scarab and I still have the same problem
Modlist (screenshot top left) + ModLog will help
Is it fixed now, I haven't the mods in the folder so I needed to reinstall.
I had them in scarab as installed but not in the folder
How do you use randomizer map mod S
is the hollow knight multiplayer mod cross platform? can i play from stream while the other person is from the xbox game launcher?
Yeah as long as they have hkmp
Press CTRL-M during a game to enable the mod. Alternatively, enable it from the Pause Menu.

Thx 
I am playing the rando, but I realize that every single pickup is 2 or more items. Anyone knows how to disable it?
That shouldn't be happening, is it 2 of the same item every time?
You might have two instances of a mod running at the same time
Have a look at your Mods folder and see if you have two of the same mod in different folders
No I don't
Hey, what is better? Scarab or modinstaller?
scarab is for 1.5 and modinstaller is for 1.4
Oh, thanks for the info
But you should use scarab as it has nowadays more mods and up to date versions of said mods
Okay, about my randomizer 4 problem, I checked modlog and it was vasi that was causing the problem (apparently), so I reinstalled it and the game is not broken anymore
I'm using the gun mod and I just killed ||Soul Master|| but I can't use spells so I'm not sure what to do

is this from your modlog
you don't have enough money
Wait did you mean
Me wamawa wa mavamou?
What does the second sentence of yours mean?
It's a poor intimation of the grub noise
Ahh I get it
Also are you into the impossible path of pain?
Download that mod kek
Took me a week to win that
I tried to run it once and I didn't seem to make it work. I finished the impossible any%, amazing mod!
Really
Sheesh that's hard stuff
I am still in fungal wastes
Yes it was. Took me about a week too, but before that I didn't even know about the skips and all, I was a total noob when it comes to the skips, but now I can do fireball skips and shade skips semi-consistently, at least it is useful in randos
i havent used the mod launcher in a while and i saw a bunch of notices at the top about an update if i update it wont mess with any of my mods right?
Well, mods are different on latest patch. Almost all mods are available, but many with significant updates.

MO...
i found the problem i was using the old launcher lol sorry about that
yes this is from modlog
then just upload the whole modlog here
can anyone help? problem /w loading hkTwitch mod
you don't have vasi
no vasi
uninstall and reinstall it in scarab
scarab does not constantly update what is actually installed/enabled and can be wrong
did you run the game since doing it
nah
i closed game, than reinstall, than open
so you just looked at the same modlog you sent
still same problem
works just fine for me. where'd you get the twitch mod from
from scarab
today?
yep, just reinstall like vasi
get rid of some of your other mods then
like hkmp, hkmp pouch, benchwarp fix
you don't need benchwarp fix unless you experience a very specific bug
also looks like your other mods are outdated
so you should update them
item changer alone should be 2.0.5+598
where i can get those
scarab
without mods you name still same
no update needed
b/c you've updated it
uninstall/reinstall twitch mod
and get rid of ghosthunter since that depends on the hkmp mods
i can disable it, or uninstall?
uninstall
last one to try without is bonfire
works just fine for me
just installed all from scarab
just now
if that doesn't work, then go into the folder that has modlog and delete everything that has "globalsettings" in the name.
like that?
yes
and if that doesn't work, try without discord RPC. I vaguely remember something about that messing with the output of twitch mod
yay
otherwise, your twitch mod settings might not have the correct syntax
Hi mickely!
thanks for help
My custom knight does not work properly
Every skin i upload and use it does not change the knight
.
mickely do you know how i can edit cooldowns from twitch mod
there not all commands which mod have, if i add something else i've got previous problem
Hey where can I download Hollowpoint mod?
scarab
Oh wow I just have to click on it cool
Uhhh now granted I’ve never played anything other than vanilla hollow knight but the Hollowpoint doesn’t seem to do damage to the enemies
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong
Also I thought it was supposed to be more rapid fire
did you read the readme
No? Is it in the pins?
Open the mods folder and open the hollow point folder and there's a txt file called readme. To open the mods folder click the button for it in scarab
Okay I read the readme. I understood very little.
I still don’t understand why it wouldn’t damage anything.
Read the section that says very important to read
how do i get hkvr to work
Isn't there a readme?
but it keeps saying failed to initialize
when my headset is plugged in
and now xbox servers are down
so i cant install the game again
damn
Why would you need to install again
You have the gamepass version then? Can you send your modlog
It'll be in the folder where your saves are

I think i found the issue.... it shows the custom knight menue into options but in the upper left corner custom knight mod doesnt show up
only the modding api and satchel are there
Depends
Do you want a swap for every skin or just a boss skin bind to a skin?
whats the mod for a randomizer
When i open scarab , i cant see the mods
Show your mods folder
Run as admin

Ay , its not just a grey screen now! thanks!
You download it
yes i selceted the skin i wanted ( i just put it back to default for the screen)
what mod do i use\
when you click the "open mods" button on scarab, where does it take you
can you screenshot that
expand the address bar
S:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
this is the path

having it on a non-standard drive is different
but shouldn't matter

get Scarab, follow the guide in the first pin
which are clickable
Can some tell me how can i find my installation path in steam so i can put some skins in custom knight?
i just got into hollow knight modding, how do i get enemy randomizer to work on 1.5?
you install it
from where, every link isnt working
im using scarab mod installer if that helps in any way
from pins
I grabbed the skins into the folder tho they didn't show up...
❓Scarab Faq
#archived-modding-help message
ok, thank you!
So i cannot have Hollow Point mod installed?
you can, but you have to do things different
What do you mean?
get a skin to work first, then install hollow point
i still cant get enemy randomizer to work
did you follow the manual install instructions?
yes
did you click the load enemies button on title screen
then it's not installed
enemy rando dll needs to be in a folder in the mods folder
Example:
Mods
RandomFolderNameOrSomething
ModName.dll
I have to put the skins in the Skins folder in Custom knight right?
If not where do i have to put em?
?
Like i right click Custom knight and it Says this 6 carpets Skins, Swap, Custom knight.dll, Customknight, hashcache.json.
In wich one do i right click to drag the skins and the sprites?
Skins
You need to make sure what you put inside skins is a folder with the images inside
Not a folder with a folder inside then the images
So something that happens seemingly exclusively in modded is sporgs not getting killed by their own explosives?
Hmm bruh its actualy the folders with the images tho idk why it doesnt work
What version of scrab do i need?
Or which is the newest one?
scarab*
Do i need 1.11?
how do i get the pure vessel skin
Pretty sure that's a challenge skin?
Meanwhile, is ModConsole supposed to look like this and if so how do I minimize/unminimize it?
Ah, alright. Just thought I'd check.
The pdb helps debugging
You can use unity explorer that also has a function like this but it's toggleabble but it has long load times after the game started
how do i get custom trial working?

The modding api if you call it a mod but do you have scarab?
Then no
Ok thx
You can start the game without any mods but you should still do it bc then there wouldn't be a reason to mod it
Does the mod installer let you have multiple save files with different mods? Can you play the base game even if you have the installer?
When I downloaded the mod installer it says when i open skarab.exe that windows protected my PC, should I still run it?
Yeah
If it wasnt safe it would be here
What is HKMP health display? Is it an addon to the normal multiplayer that shows the other player's health?
Exactly
ok thanks
I was doing multiplayer and I made my own username and server port but then i stopped hosting to change the port but when I tried to host again I literally couldn't. I restarted my game and made a new save and tried the same port as my first one but it didn't work, assistance please.
Can you have modding profiles?
hello folks
I'm currently trying to install Scarabs but it doesn't work.
I made a fresh install on my mac and created a new profile but it still doesn't work... It opens for a second and then closes right after
Any solutions?
With butterfly yes
But if you mean this then no

You need to equip it in game, I can’t be bother to remind the hot key for it but either find that hot key or equip from the title screen in -option—>mods—>custom knight
yes I equipped it from the title screen, but it's still not showing up
No
Don’t equip it in the title screen, equip it after loading a save file

-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.
ok
it's working now

Hey im trying to download scarab but it wont download because it doesnt recognize the hollow knight data folder

So it would be the game folder

yes
do you have custom knight?
yes
hello
hi
am i allowed to ask a question?
Ofc
so, go open your custom knight skin folder, select the skin that you wanted the grimmchild skin to go on, if there is a png file called grimm that has the grimmchild sprites on it, delete it, and then replace it with the custom grimmchild one. if there isnt one already just drag the custom grimm sprite onto the folder. let me get some pictures
well could i know how to get hollow knight skin mod?

I need help fixing my healing
it requires no soul
the way to fix it is confusing
what were you doing that made it use no soul?
It happens after hollow point
Is there an easy way to tell what order the sprites of the knights sprite sheets are in?
Specifically the geo
Spritepacker lets you know
Are you finally finishing falle knight?
(give me credits for the name smh)
Im 95% sure it was me
I...
Jesus my brains falling to mush
Lmao
Let me get spritepacker link for yq
Oh wait
I gtg
Sorry
Oh frick about the name
Eh ill say when im back
ill say rn, sorry too late but its already taken
Ok im back
Its a funny story
have you ever camed with the same idea twice?
It already happened to me 3 times
This one was one of those lol
I have a bery bad memory ngl
Well, 4
Again sorry ig
I dont think so
let me check
Someone could make a pretty cool shade skin
Actually, there are like 4 skins that start with D and none of those is dark knight
How
So probably anything that starts with d is free
Wth
There's a shade knight tho
Void knight or smth like that
Im thinking like dark souls knight since those games are kinda what i wanna emulate
Not fully but idk anything closer
Heres a geo i made
I was gonna make each tier bronze silver and gold, but the other 2 are already silver and yellow
my friend and I are trying to do a randomizer race but we cant figure out how to have the same seed so we have the same randomization does anyone know why?
You manually chande the seed
And you two need o have the EXACT same options
I copied his seed and we still had different items
Thats beause you two didnt have the EXACT same options
would having different mods equip make it not the exact same or do you mean just within the randomizer because we copied each others rando settings
If you have randomizer connections youll have to change those too
Is there a way to type in the same hash to get everything the same?
No
im sorry im struggling so hard with this, we type in the same seed and everything is the same exept the hashes and our items keep being different
thank you for your help I really appreciate it
