then the ip gets set to the local host ip
Yes
And we’re in different states
If you press "Host", then you will connect to yourself
yeah
And you connect to yourself using 127.0.0.1
What does the guide say to do?
Are you putting in the hosts Hamachi IP?
So, im putting the Grimm Knight (TWP) skin into the Custom Knight skin folder and its not working I dont understand what I'm doing wrong
The first thing you're doing wrong is thinking that that's somehow related to Hamachi 
Does anyone know how to fix my c-dash
Ever since i used skill upgrades
Its been broken
I can't cancel it
Any one know how to fix it
Well if skillupgrades is breaking it. Uninstall it
Disable or uninstall
Uninstall
While I don't like being pinged in general, that's pretty irrelevant to what I was talking about. I was referring to the fact that you're quoting a message about Hamachi for some reason. I don't see how that's relevant to what you're asking.
It was just the easiest way to respond to you/ ping you
That's a terrible way to communicate. You should probably work on that
Mk
Please stop ping responding to me. There's no reason to, especially when the message you're quoting is directly above.
First thing's first: Have you watched this video yet?
It's very thorough, and has a timestamped section for Custom Knight.

A lot of people find seeing it installed to be a lot easier than reading it.
I did. All he said was to take the skin folder from the extracted skin file and put it in the Custom Knight skin file
I did that and it doesnt work
Custom Knight troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example what an installed skin looks like:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/924905787728470067/CustomKnight_File_Example_1578.png
If you compare images
you'll see a pretty big difference
||Your images are in the wrong folder||
Well this is just a skin for the Knight no? it shouldnt have charm pngs
this tho
someone please help my mods stopped working and i cant figure out why
Now my screen just goes to black every time I die one time
Please explain your problem
People cannot help you if they do not know what is going on.
Helpful information includes:
- A detailed explanation of the problem that you're having
- What you've tried so far
- What Operating system you're on
- Where you got the game from
Additionally, please ensure that you've checked channel pins 📌 to see if it's a common problem.
The mods are there in my files, but when I get into the game, none of the mods work, I’ve tried uninstalling the mods and reinstalling them, re-installing the mod menu, and that’s about it
I got the game on steam
My operating system is windows
you use Scarab?
No, I don’t know how to actually get into the menu

SCARAB DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/latest

can someone give me the mod link for the dead cells queen fight? kinda wanna fight em
Yes
Make sure your game is closed when installing mods
oh
Additionally, ensure that you've Installer isn't in your Downloads folder, nor that it is still in a .zip file
Welp
I followed all the steps correctly, making sure I didn’t mess anything up, and now I can’t get into the game
You are not on the correct game patch
Go to betas in steam and set it to "none"
Right click hk>properties>betas
i tried to install custom knight but it said there was an exception halfway through
i have the most recent scarab and hollow knight version
Thank you
im on windows btw
Close your game. Make sure scarab is on desktop. Run scarab as admin
my game is closed, scarab is on desktop and scarab didnt ask to be run as admin
should i close it and then open it through admin with right click?
Yes
so does anyone know where fireborn got the skin he used today on stream
Hi, I was trying to edit some sprites in the game, but apparently I can only edit by "room", is that right? I would like to change it whenever it appears, I'm using custom knight
The current version of CK has a way to globally do it. You need to use the Global folder and name the sprite by the correct Hash name
currently, there isn't a list of all Hash names. That's something I'm starting to work on, but haven't done a bunch with yet.
To get the names yourself, you need to Not have any skins/swapper stuff active, then go into a room and use the Dump option. When it's all done, you'll have entries in your Global folder in the CK folder, and those are the sprites with the correct Hash names
Ok, but then I can use it with any skin, or has to be default?
Up to you
Like, you can put it into a skin, or you can have it used stand-alone
In a skin:
\Mods\Custom Knight\Skins\SKINNAME\Swap\Global\SPRITENAME.png```
Regardless of skin:
\Mods\Custom Knight\Skins\Swap\Global\SPRITENAME.png```
Ok, thanks, I couldn't find it online, the hash name it comes with is the rigth one or I have to check the json file?
There's not a json to check
When you dump a sprite, it'll general the hash name based on the data that makes up that sprite
Oh that lol
I forgot about that 
That is the list of everywhere known to your game that any given hash appears iirc
but it's only for ones that you dumped afaik
Oh, ok
So like, in theory, a fully filled out version of that file could be used to get the correct names, without looking through images, by just knowing exactly where something is used
so even if I get to a new area, it would work, I don't have to reload or anything
Yeah
Great, thanks a lot
The way the Global Swaps work, they replace anything that would have had the hash value of the thing that you named it
so you generate the Hash of a grub, for example, then you name an image that same hash name, and then whenever the game sees that grub hash, it instead uses your sprite
If you haven't seen Chaktis' recent usage of this btw, it's definitely worth seeing.
They replaced literally everything in Colosseum.
It is a bit buggy unfortunately, because it's a new feature and it hadn't really been used heavily until very recently (so no bug testing had been done), but it's incredibly useful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEf5_-oOAW8
A quick peek at Chaktis' new reskin of Colosseum, called Palace of Fools!
Palace of Fools can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mE5e809mq1pZUezgKuIXUjcsVhKu3q-O
I decided to play it using Lime's Pale King skin, found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1neh6lUCgWrxfvsXtk33s50tg15xz5cT_

hi, about the daughter of hollowness skin mod. How exactly do I use it?
You use it as every other skin
It seems to be very different from regular skin mods and have many extra files
Ok thanks
https://hollowknightmods.wixsite.com/customknightskins/post/daughter-of-the-hallownest-pack-twp

Right…
Sorry I think that’s not really the problem I’m having
I am just not sure where to put these extra files
You see, usually I just put the pictures inside the custom knight folder
But this skin have many other files
So where do I put them?
Are you talking the daughter of hallownest mod? That's different
Yes
The daughter of hallownest skin is a different thing from the mod
The mod is not updated
It's 1.4
Oh
Ummm, I’m not sure what you mean
Screenshot what you're talking about
Well this page has the fixed skin
That is this
Read
That page has the FIXED skin
It like the other ones
You have a different file
That is more complex
Ok, sorry
But it’s should also add extra dialogues to the game I believe?
And if you follow the install instructions on the "full" versions, you'll just brick your game 
Or maybe it don’t.
The extra dialogue is the daughter of hallownest mod
Which is outdated
Different from the skin
1 mod, 1 skin. Different things. Same name
I see, completely different mod
Mickely, the "full" DoH skin does have new dialogue too
it just does so by replacing Asset files 
Is the Mod not the boss fight?
So they just took those and put it in the skin?
Why can't things just have unique names
?
So the “full” version is basically the skin mods combines with the dialogues from the boss fight mod?
Yeah, the TWP GDrive upload of the DoH skin, instructs users to replace their asset files to get dialogue and whatnot
The original doh mod was a "play as hornet with new dialogues" thing
But doing so is not compatible with 1.5
New fights?
Just get Silksong (but not really) from scarab and problem solved!
Ok…
Like the hornet fight
Got it, thank you

Could I have help downloading any radiance mod on mac?
My daughter of hallownest skin's not working for some reason
I extracted it in the skins folder but when I select it from the mod menu it shows the default skin
How do I get anyrad
pins
It's here, in the faq linked in the guide linked in the first pin (I can understand that you didn't find it
)
How do I get anyrad mod
Like do I have to get an installer
What installer do I have to get
Where can I get it
Read the pins
It doesn't say
You have to install it manually, the guide is also in the faq, but it requires satchel, that you can install with scarab
Install what?
The mod
Satchel is a dependency, alone it won't do anything but anyrad won't work if it isn't installed. If you already have Satchel the only thing you have to do is to manually install anyrad
Where is the manual install?
The guide and the mod are in the faq
I don't see the mod download
For the 4th time, the guide is in the faq
Sorry, I don't really know how to do this stuff
hai what is the name of the mod were the hp bar and the soul meter is removed for taking screen shots
Is the save editor from github still working in the current version of the game, I would like to change the charm costs.
@faint hull -Download the mod .dll or folder
make sure you get the mod that is made for your patch a lot of times mods will have separate 1.4 and 1.5 releases.
-Open scarab and click the open mods button.
-Move the mod you installed into the mods folder you just opened.
If you are on 1.5 and the mod you downloaded is a .dll then in your mods folder create a folder with the name of the mod and move the .dll into the newly created folder.
-Load the game and the mod will be there.
Thanks
does anybody knows how do you enable the impossible hk mod? I tried but it doesnt work...
Hello, I've installed Hollow Point on my game but the mod doesn't is to my wishes. So I disabled it but now I can't heal myself but I still can lauch spells
Finally I found the problem and I fixed it
I'm not a modder but I think you can juste copy the default sprites and modify it
Yeah just make sure to have the right names for the png's
Intresting
Yes
Hello, I can't seem to heal up in my first save file even when im at full focus, and i suspect it's due to hollow point, are there any fixes for this?
what it name thoe
Hkmp
my other steel soul file isn't affected by this
Yes read pins
ah thanks
thanks alot
also is there any chances of the Lightbringer mod ever coming to Scarab? I just can't ever get it to work manually rip
Idrk, have you followed the manual install guide?
yup
you need to install DecorationMaster and put the json to DecorationMasterData folder in Mods
My modding installer opens and crash instantly
What crashes, the installer or the game
installer itself
Wich installer
ModInstaller
alright
Hey, i found a old modinstaller on my pc, and i opened it with 1.4.3.2 and it works! anyways thanks!
I dont suggest using that
It is VERY outdated
Hmmm, u think it could damage my save files?
No mods affect the files except hp but that is on 1.5 too
But yeah i suggest using smth more recent
Oh i see, thank you, im closing my game
👍
I have a little problem with scarab and my game files, i tried to install mods when i had a pirated copy, now i have the game in steam, but when i try to install mods now, nothing happens
guys why does hkmp say connection timed out when i try to join my friend?
Man...
Asked this
But no-one replied :(
Modding experts if you are awake then respond soon UwU
Probably because your folder structure is incorrect
Hmm is there any way to rectify that?
I mean all other skins work good
Can anyone reply to my problem plz?
how can i open the tab to chose skins when i already put skin into the folder
what buton should i press
to open the tab
nvm

it is the black box in the corner that you can type into
How can I get rid of it?
If you don't want a mod, uninstall it
I got it figured out now
I downloaded some mods and one of them makes inventory items (wings, claw, etc) go to a separate page that looks like hunters journal
And I don’t know which one is it
I would like that ngl, send mod list
sfcore + a mod that adds item possibly ToT
With just sfcore it happened to somebody else
I’m having issues, the mods are there in the files, but when I go into the game no mods are there
Send your modlog
This modlog is pretty......
Empty
Are you sure you have the right modlog?
Its called ModLog.txt and its on your saves
Then?
The one you sent was pretty empty and had numbers
Hmm question
Where did you got the game from? And version is 1.5 right
Hmm then try verifying file integrity then redownload a mod
Go to steam > right click HK > properties > local files > verify game integrity
That fast?
What did it say
Thats not dependant on laptop specs-
You sure you did it?

Well you cant mod cracked verions of the game. Goodbye
that's the shortest modlog i have ever seen
Ig some mods have their own modlogs?
look that the game is cheap...
i wouldnt play a mod made by a pirate
Why did you get muted
Mods?
idk if this is really the place for that but eh
do you know where I can find a Grimm save before his first save ? need to capture some stuff here and can't find one

Hey so I'm having some difficulties with Scarab. I've got all my mods in the correct places and everything but when i try to load Hollow Knight it gives me a fatal error saying another instance is already running. Anyone know how to fix this?
are you loading it from steam
No, when I load it from Steam none of my mods load. So i was trying to run it directly from the exe file since I was able to in the past
Ok I think I might’ve fixed it. I went and uninstalled all the mods and then reinstalled them. I’ve got the loading bar now so here’s hoping that worked and I don’t crash
Progress update?
Does anyone know how to configure the settings for the palette swapper mod?
why when i download the mod installer it says its out of date?

It's very helpful for getting started
Pirated versions can't be modded
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, the official GoG version, and the official Microsoft Store version.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.
How to mod atomic radiance and any radiance on the latest game version?
@tardy bobcat
For any radiance, you have to install the mod manually. You will find a guide and a link to the mod in the message I replied to. Idk for atomic radiance
wait so does scarab have piracy detection
kinda wanna test that out by pirating hk but also i know if i do that i might mess my computer up by making my scarab fuck with the actual hk version i have
and also pirating indie games is bad
There are examples online that show you how to detect a pirated version bc of the files being different and so on
how do i continue from here
idk what to do
does anyone have the link for mod installer 2?
1.this is #archived-modding-help not #hk-help
2.spoiler tag stuff in #hk-help
Why would you use mi2?
And pins
oh ok
can u help tho
Basicly when I start up HK with the mod a pop-up appears in-game on the top left corner that says "Enemy Randomizer" after I click it there is a lag spike and the background of the title screen becomes shots of places in Hallownest, the title music is replaced with the area that appears in the background it continues to do this and it's to laggy to do anything.
I assume me clicking that pop-up thing is turning on the randomizer?
I have a pretty beefy computer so I doubt that would be the problem.
Much thanks if anyone can help me with this!
this is the loading process. just wait for it to finish
guys, whats the standard port for hkmp
thanks
test of teamwork mod broke
can anyone help me with this mod
i cant use that silk balls now
hkmp
what is your exact problem?
we cant connect
i dont know how to do it
we have the same ip and same port entered in
and we cant
probably a firewall issue blocking your connection to the ports or something
or your IP is wrong or yorue not port forwarding or any amount fo networking issues
did you talk to hornet
ye
i got the item
it worked
and then i rejoined the game
the item is still here
but it doesnt work
Hi i just started modding HK, and one mod i got from scarab was the "debug mod" which i see a lot of HK players using. I have it enabled in scarab and have restarted the game, but i can't figure out how to access the debug menu, despite other mods i have enabled working. Thanks
If the mod is correctly installed (you can check if the mod name is in the list at the top left of the title screen) you have to press f1 while in game to open its menu
Sorry i should've mentioned this as the comment said but i've already tried that to no success
do i have to install it differently, as despite it being enabled in scarab its name doesnt appear in the top left corner
Sometimes what scarab displays isn't what is actually installed/enabled, try to reinstall the mod
oh ok thanks i'll try that
That worked, thanks for the help
Is there any mods that gives all the grubs?
Debug mod can give every reward you might get from them, but I don’t think there is a mod to specifically free every grub
grubs are just an integer in your save. you can save edit to give yourself any number you want
my game keeps crashing if I start the game with randomizer enabled

exclamationHollow 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.
small_blue_diamond Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used.
- Scarab is made for patch 1.5.78+
- Modinstaller 1 & 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2
- there aren't installers for other patches.
small_blue_diamond Something didn't install correctly
- Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file, and that it's not in your Downloads folder.
- Run the installer as Administrator
hollowpirate Your game is pirated / illegitimate.
Piracy is not supported in most communities for games. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
HK Modding is only supported on the official versions from Steam, GoG, or the Microsoft Store.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
why can't the installer be in my downloads folder
also that's the only thing on that list that it could be
it only crashes with randomizer not any other mods
I only have randomizer 4 and it's dependencies installed
Yo so like I messaged this yesterday, I'm on mac and when I download Scarab, it just won't open, no response. The steps the discord pin told me to take didn't work. Perhaps I'm downloading the wrong version? I know the one I'm downloading is for mac, but idk if it's the newest version
Which version of the game did you download ?
the newst version, off of steam
Just make sure you don’t have any betas on steam and you should be good
so just make sure hollow knight is up to new?
Yes
what is the newest version?
There are a couple of problems cause by macs too, but you seem to have spotted those
1.5.78.11833

thanks, I'll respond if it doesn't work
or maybe not
cus like y'know
so i only download the mac file right?
no source code or...
Yeah, and not the source code
alright
god you seem to know what you are doing unlike so many people that come here wow
another issue, kinda the same one
so I bypass the, "non verified creator," thing, and then it sits there
does the animation like it's opening, but doesn't
strange
i've already tried the, "show package content," trick, the app itself isn't within there
is there something i have to do through steam?
What's in there then ?
it's a lot of files, all coding things
the only thing i thought would work is the thing labled, "scarab," but it's just a png for the logo
It isn't strctured like this ?
it is, however the thing named scarab isn't there
YES
I GOT IT
THANKS
another question ._.
so i downloaded, "grimm knight skin," from the google docs page
does scarab just notice it and add it to the mod menu?
No
how do i work that then?
i apologize for all the questions, thanks for the help btw
Uh i have a guide
Dw, if you should apologize for anything its for NOT askin questions
There's a guide there, I hope it's good

I changed the cd19888 for hollowknightmods
where's the link to satchel and/or custom knight?
thanks good to know
You install them with Scarab
oh ok
are they on the mod menu?
again, i'm new to the modding, i'm lost and apologize for the confusion
Don't worry it's fine, the mods are in the list that should appear when you launch scarab, just click "install" and they will be automatically installed
back again, how do i enable custom skins and hp bars at the same time?
You enable both mods
should I get the mod installer 1 (2) or scarab cause I don't know which is better
Scarab
can I ask why
Because scarab is for current patch unlike the other 2
can someone help me add a skin
do you want to make a skin or just add one onto your save?
add one
do you have scarab?
yes

does anyone know why the prop hunt mod made me have an extra heart
and if so how can i remove the extra heart
is anyone having trouble with scarab not fetching modlinks?
- if you have a VPN enabled, disabled it
If you don't have a VPN enabled,
- restart your computer, then try opening Scarab again
- if that doesn't work, then install a VPN and then open Scarab. Many people just https://1.1.1.1
restarting worked, thank you!
Are you sure you didn't accidentally add a heart using debug?
Either way, you can remove a heart using it
rando 4
it will auto install everything it needs
Installing Rando 4 will auto install the rest
ohhh thanks
how do u make ur own skins for custom knight?
ive been wanting to make my own for a while now, and i know how to draw the skins
i just dont know how to make it work with the mod
All of the sprites that CK replaces by default come with the mod, in the "Default" skin folder.
You can copy that, and draw over them / on a layer above them if you want.
There's also a split up skin posted pinned in #modding-discussion that you can edit, and then reassemble. To reassemble it, you either use Sprite Packer (a little daunting to most, but really useful), or Custom Knight Creator (easy to use, but has some major bugs that can just break the program entirely on your computer)
Just make sure you save your files as 32bit pngs. Some programs and some people accidentally export at a lower bit (iirc Photoshop tries to default to 8bit 🥴 ), and that will look really bad in-game
how
do i remove a heart in debug
ohhhh ok then
thabks ! <3
Look through the Binds panels
how do you skin bosses? All i want to do is one boss, i just downloaded clown hornet
thanks i found it
The recent version of CK has an easy way to do it. I can post about it when I'm back on my computer in about 10 minutes
This happens when something didn't install correctly.
The easiest way to fix it is to force Scarab to reinstall all of the rando mods.
You can:
- Close the game and Scarab
- Run the Mod Installer script below to reset the Scarab memory file
- Right click Scarab, and select "Run as Administrator"
- Reinstall Randomizer 4, and any other mods you were using with it. Be sure to wait for the loading bar to finish after each one installs.
Windows scripts to reset things:
*To use these scripts:
- Download the file
- Move the file to your Desktop
- Double-Click the file*

Is there any mod that allows you to resurrect the ghosts? I accidentally killed one with dream nail and I’m so sorry….
Does debug mod allow you to do that?
Or maybe I can change a something in the game files?
You can save edit, but I have no clue what to edit since I don’t have my computer with me
Edit your save file?
Tmk if you just look it up on google or something there’s one. The moresaves mod lets you edit many things in a save in game
Maybe, I won’t get access for ~24 hours
Just downloaded the edit saves mod
Scrolling through the options
Not sure if there is a option to do that
?
Like what randomizers wouldn’t work properly with enemy rando
None. And enemy changer isn't a randomizer
Ok then
Whats enemy changer then?
A mod you can use to change enemy skins
Click the arrow in scarab for short mod descriptions
Oki
Do y'all know what "Satchel not found" means? I'm trying to download custom skins
Means you don't have satchel installed
Your game says otherwise
true

hi, i have a problem i dont understand how to do savestates with the debug menu, i know how to save once and try with the make savestates and load savestates option. but if i just want to launch the game and go to a location that i saved without have to change files etc... to train faster . i think you can use dreamgate for this but i dont manage to make it work
how do I add mods to scarab? like clownet (I don't really know what folder to put it in)
Just put clownet folder in swap (inside custom knight folder)
thanks!

this ended up not working, any suggestions?
Is it just the image or does it have folder with scene names?
it's the folder
?
nvm I figured it out
you can't add the clownet folder you have to add the folder called "global" that is in the clownet folder
what's the world's sense on randomizers
It shows the %
oh
Yeah its the same as normal world sense
What's the hollow knight randomizer in the scarab mods?
Randomizer 4
I'm having some severe graphical glitches
There's a timestamp to a section about it and setup in this tutorial

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.

Either your game files corrupted, or your hardware is failing
how would i check if files are corrupted
On steam, you can use Verify integrity to check your game files
this only happens in hollow knight
That you've seen thus far*
If your hardware just started failing, then you wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
some less severe cases of stuff in the same vein has been happening to hk
And games take more to render than a lot of other things
Then you didn't have corrupted files
oh
Those two are the Modding files
ohh
Have you played other unity games on your machine?
Pc? No, machine 
not that i can think of
Depending on your setup, maybe it's not running unity well?
If your game files are fine, then you have an external issue. Pinpointing that issue isn't really simple though
Hardware can cause it (GPU or CPU), driver errors can cause it, etc
does GODump mod work on the new version?
The 1.5 one does
It deleted the ModdingAPI. You can get it back by just reinstalling a mod
hi guys, can anyone give these sprites and tell me how to put them in the skin
You cant
Custom image supports these iirc
I need help to install mods

I'm using scarab and when i go to options i can't see mods on the bottom any idea why?
there's a possibility the mods youre using dont have a mod menu built in
then how am i meant to put on a skin?

the readme also probably has it

or you dont have a skin in there. etc.
Or they are in 1.4
thanks trying it out...
Some of the mods I have installed just... stopped working. I have them enabled on scarab, and they have worked before. Only thing I can think of that might cause this is if an update to HK happen and it did it automatically. To be specific, pale prince and anyrad stopped loading, all of my other mods still work. Any idea why this may be happening?
can you drop your modlog
Hey there!! I was trying to update the newest version of Scarab but then it told me this when I opened it. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you! :)
Ahh!! Tysm!! :D
how do i get mod menu to put on a skin?
What ver are you on
^
- is the mod showing in the top left of the title screen
- where did you get the game from
Agreed
i got it on steam, i don't see the mod showing on top left of screen, how do i see the version?
If it isnt showing then there are problems
You can see it bottom left of main menu
This?
how do i do that?
Go to steam > right click HK > properties > local files > verify game integrity
they were succesfuly validated...
Oh and the actual problem solver

question: is it just me or is the Hornight Custom Knight skin a little
pixelated
id be tempted to use it instead of Sapphire if it didnt look compressed as hell
Its your skin
care to elaborate
Wich hornet one did you get
Something happened to your files of the skin so it looks pixelated
very literally the Hornight skin, im not being smart by calling it that its literally its name https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lA_-ONpxy7JDuKDwMBf_68yTCY_qxWya
Oh i read hornet sorry
just downloaded both files individually instead of in a .zip and i still see no improvement
Not pixelated for me, you sure you downloaded it corerectly?
Try downloading the zip then extracting
i mean its not anything obvious at first glance but when looking a little closer i think the Hornight skin is a little more
pixelly
Hey is says in modinstaller I need to update something could someone help me please

im very confused
Modding staff =/= Modding Support btw

You pinged modding staff
yes

How to mod mod on piss4?
<@&328354344313421825> so i used scarab for modding and i downloaded the debug mod and clicked give all charms. i used it for trial of the fool and hornet but when i was done i saw there was no revert button, only give all charms and remove all charms. i tried verifying the game files on steam and when i opened the game back up there was no modding menu. i tried everything and nothing worked. so ive been stuck with a broken game and all charms for the past 6 hours and i have no idea how to fix it. can somebody help me?
You dont
Theres no way to fix it other than editing the save with moresaves
Also modding staff isnt a role ypu can ping to get support
2 pings in the span of an hour yltsi
i cant use mods because i verified the files and now it wont let me
I'm having a frustrating issue where I've followed all steps to install the Hollow Twitch Mod, but the integration is not working, and chat commands do nothing. I am at my wits end and have tried everything I can think of to no avail. Is there anybody who may be able to help?
Your Twitch name is probably wrong it needs to be:
awakened_artifact
hey, ive been trying to install the poorly translated hollow knight mod but it doesnt appear in scarab and i put it in the mods folder
How? My username isn't that
I changed it over a month ago
I didn't update my discord
ah
That doesn't help though, I've followed every step and nothing has changed
Its not available on 1.5
It wont work
would it work if i were to put all current saves in a google drive, just so i dont lose them, turn hollow knight back to a previous version, and get an older mod loader and if so what versions do i set them to?
Dont need to use a drive or any backup, just go to beta 1.4 in steam
Then use modinstaller 1 or 2, but current patch has more and updated mods
alright thanks
on mod installer 2 how do i connect the mods to hollow knight, because im not seeing an option to do so
yeah but when i boot up hollow knight the mods arent loaded like they were normally which means the path directory is off, but i dont know how to adjust that as there is no option to do that
