Did you click the description?
lets you kill Zote in the colosseum iirc
Like, click on the mod name, and it'll show a description of that mod
it says "allows you to kill zote in the colosseum"
does that mean he stays fricking dead if i kill him there? so no GPZ?
i hope so
Hey everyone, I'd like to know what there is to pay attention to when downgrading my HK version. I already have a lot of mods installed, and I don't know what will happen if I try to downgrade. Furthermore, is it possible to upgrade to the current patch using the same method? Will any save files be corrupted by down/upgrading?
If I want to play on my vanila Hollow Knight file after having installed a lot of mods do I just have to disable them or do I have to uninstall them?

hi! I am completely new to modding, ive downloaded Scarab for Mac a few times but the application will not open, instead stating that "there is no place for the application to run on." Ive attempted extracting the file or throwing it folders but im not sure what to do. Ive seen some suggest to upgrade to Big Sur on Mac but idk.
tested that out already, farthest I got was to moving it to my desktop but wont let me show contents/won't open. still funky, any alternatives?
i disabled Pale Prince and I cant seem to reenable it. It and its coremod, vasi, dont appear in the top right, however QoL still works, so I assume vasi is enabled. Last time I asked a similar question, I was asked for my modlogs. If thats needed for this, I would like to know how to access them

I just checked it, I see that Pale Prince and QoL were loaded, but vasi wasnt. Not what I thought, but in scarab I do have vasi on... still dont know what to do to fix this
Try reinstallin vasi
didnt work

? Why no ping
@hollow plank
Oh now
thanks
Yeah I just now tried to reset it and it’s still not there. But for some reason is still there with all the mods I’ve installed in it…I have no clue on what to do now
Nvm it’s good now
Am i the only one who thinks you mixed the channels up
oops lol
Hi how can i download mods installer
thx
what does qol mod do for non rando hk
Just a bucnh of qol things
Like never close the pop door
Faster cutscenees
Etc etc
I'm using ubuntu 20.04 and tried using scarab but it simply opens a black screen...Can anybody give me some light on that matter?
hey can someone send me the link to newborn spring not rar. file?
I just got the random teleport mod and I noticed it automatically turns on when I launch the game. Can I make it not do that?
i can help you
ok
so you wanna go to your options on menu or in game
then you wanna go to mods
and press on random telaport or whatever its called
and you shoukld be able to turn it off
yeah I've been doing that but can I make it default to off when I launch the game?
hmm. well im just saying that off of experience.
im not a moderater. so sorry i dont know
sorry
uh it varies, i think last time was alt+f4
i just exit to menu and quit
hey can you send me the link to new born spring. not rar. file?
oh hey that worked, thanks
oh never mind
Sorry, idk what that skin is. If you’re having trouble with rar, try the 7zip program
i have the skin, but why not rar?
shouldn't that say "in seconds"? 120 minutes is 2 hours lol
lol
I just watched fireborn's video on getting mods and when I start up my game now there is a grey tint over the entire screen and a big grey bar in the middle. Also the mods dont appear to be working. Anyone know how to fix?
how do i even install the mod installer
You don’t, it’s just a program that installs mods. Doesn’t install anything more
Which mods did you get? That loading bar is mods loading rooms in the game to get data for them to work
i tried that
What was the problem
so i followed the instructions, extracted the windows.zip, i moved it to desktop, and i never got a scarab.exe to open?
I got randomizer, the required add on mods for it, as well as debug
Rando might take a while
ok so should i just wait?
Yeah
ok thanks this is my first time trying mods and i dont know what im doing
Playing the game while preloading is happening is ☠️
You tried to open it and it just simply didnt?
what files were in the windows.zip that you downloaded? it should have scarab.pdb, scarab.exe, libSkiaSharp.dll, and libHarpBuzzSharp.dll
yeah
Hmm
the scarab exe didnt show up
it was just named scarab, and it doesnt open
Are there two files called scarab?
no
im mentally slow so idk how all of this works
Do you need to use a beta version off hollow knight with scarab??
No
no i have current patch
Okay, thank you
this is all that shows up when i extract it
so firstly i would recommend enabling file extensions, if you havent already. click view at the top of the folder window, then check the box that says "file name extensions"
yeah the one that says scarab with the blue square in the icon is a .exe file
lol its fine
i do tech support for a living and thats not the stupidest thing ive heard this week lol
Customer support is..... well
In my time here ive seen A LOT of things
Pretty sure someone tried to open the mods dll as separate games like fnf once
Or people trying to modify the data of the game while its running
ok so after i run it, what next
Download the mods
Where i can find kaizo hollow knight mod/map?
Kaizo?
ok nice
Impossible any%?
I’ve told somebody to look for x, then click x. Then they ask me what x am I talking about. I then ask them if they see an x. They say yes. I say click the x. They ask what x.
i had someone ask me how to right click once

Sadly not the worst that has happened
One of the funnier things here is like people
"Hk doesnt work"
i had to go through the whole "ok if i say right click, its gonna be the button on the right side of the mouse. if i say click, assume i mean the left button"
Please tell more we dont know the problem
"5k letters message long explaining"
- Click the box
"What’s happening?"
"Hk doesn’t work"
Almost always like that ngl
yup
I dont think theres any "kaizo" mod
I guess deco master maybe?
Unless you are talking about impossible any%/impossible TE
You just said deco, not fair
it works now!! yay
where i can download this map? I believe there are several presets that must be downloaded in addition to the mod
Decoration master is the name of the mod that map packs are made in
Probably in a YouTube video about the map
i didn't find any link in descriptions
if anyone has this same problem as me, i didnt do anything and its working now so gl
for some reason when i turn on god soul my enemies are multiplied everywhere, how do i fix this?
my brother erased my entire save file, is there any way i can download one online
<@&283547423706447872>
why are you pinging the mods
Someone posted a link to their server
oh
Dw about it basically spam
i thought it was me
Yes it was you, having your brother delete your saves is a serious crime
Now that i see your problem
Yes
Yes you can
what are all the current multiplayer mods and what do they do
HKMP - Lets you see other people playing online
pls somebody help the scarab mod installer is not working and every time i enebled it the game crashes
and if i try to repair hollow kinight in steam its vanilla again
what version is your hk install
Use beta none and reinstall a mod in scarab
i use beta
dont
Yes, you shouldnt
ää ok
Thats why i said none
with the first mod installer you had to
Yeah
ok
Then you reinstall a mod
ok thx
Does anyone know why my saves folder doesn't have a save file in it? It only has the files Player and AppConfig. If it helps, it's voidheart edition and downloaded from Microsoft Store. The reason I want to know is that all of my progress was made on a MacBook, and now that I want to transfer it, there isn't anything to replace. There is no User1.DAT file on my Windows PC. And no, to my knowledge it's not the incorrect place, i literally copy pasted the commands from this server and again, there's only Player and AppConfig. One interesting thing is that, in the Local/Packages folder, there is a fteam cherry folder which has a file called User.DAT, but replacing it does nothing, putting it into bloodorca does nothing, and it appears I can even delete it without the save in game deleting. I have loaded a game HK, gone through the tutorial and all, sat and a bench and then save and quitted, but still nothing. Putting the file with all my progress into the folder it should be in also does nothing. Anyone can help?
Im still curious now that you said it
Why 1.4
Ik why on your case but
Why
Ig ill never know
Maybe missinformation
I assume you are talking to slender?
Ye
got any clue why the frick microsoft is not allowing me to play my hk save >:(
You not the only one who faced that problem is just microsoft being very shitty
what fixed the issues for them?
Oh how funny, you think they fixed it
well
shit
so now i have to waste about 25 hours of progress beecause fucking microsoft
FUCK YOU MICROSOFT
112?
112%
Yeah the game goes up to 112% not 100%
why would i do 112 to download a 112 file
no, i knew that, but im confused as to what you mean
Like just complete your file in your macbook to 112%
Then download a 112% file since its the same
Ig
bro i get like 30 frames per second on it :((((
and how am i supposed to use the 112 file if i don't even know where in the fuck my saves are stored
The- the game automatically uses it
what
but like
there is nothing in the saves folder everyone tells me to check
the weirdass packages folder has a user file that makes no sense
downloading a new file wouldn't help since that's the exact problem they have rn
yea 💀
how am i supposed to use a new file when i don't even know where to put it
certified bruh moment
microsoft moment
so now i gotta pay money for something i already own
just so i can get progress
back
well you could start over ig
it'll take less time to get back to around where you are now
that's true
but still
pain
if i do that, should i save zote tho
i left his ass to die from the vengefly last time
that way bretta doesn't fall for him
so instead of her running off for a better chance at life and finding someone who isn't an asshole and also isn't a soulless short dude, she can stay wit me ;)
what are the mods that make absolute radiance harder? from easiest to hardest, as I wanna try getting into harder versions of absrad : )
Ultimate radiance , atomic radiance, any Radiance, any Radiance 2.0
thanks!
could you send a download link or something?
No
k
for some reason it isnt working, its just getting downloaded as this and it hasnt worked after I put it into the mod folder
If all the other mods are inside a folder. What makes you think ultimatum shouldnt

well this is the only thing thing that didnt come as a folder
So that means it doesnt even tho every other has?
when i download it from this site (i found it from crankytemplars vid) it just downloads that
yep
Lmao dw

Is your game open ?

What version of the game are you on and what installer are you using ?
im using latest version of scarab
Version of the game ≠ version of scarab
and im using the xbox version
any help with this?
Try to run scarab as administrator
Fixes for that problem are
Making sure Hollow Knight is closed
Running Scarab as admin
Making sure the Scarab folder is on your desktop
ok ill try all three
Should I just try to go into one of those folders mentioned, or should I just delete the file and download it again?
HOW DO I MAKE HOLLOW POINT WORK 😦

ye i got that
Search custom knight
and download that
From there you need to find a skin you like
I suggest you look at Fireb0rn's custom knight showcase videos
oki ty
Once you find one you like download it, unzip it, and drag it into the custom knight folder
You can open it from menu > settings > mods > custom knight and it should show you the open folder option
Restart the game go back to custom knight and apply skin 
no more bonefire mod ?!
its not working T_T
im pretty sure i did it right but its still not showing on the game
and i got costum skin installed
wait where's the 1.4.3.2 modinstaller link?
<@&283547423706447872> really really sorry for ping but, I couldn't find the modinstaller for 1.4.3.2 in all pins, maybe im blind but, any1 could send a link for it?
32 bit laptop
well hopefully all the mods will work and modinstaller 2 will too
hm, well atleast if benchwarp and debug mods work, then thats all I need
There's the Dead Cells skin, but that's it afaik
You mean to say that there's a vessel outfit in dead cells right
I don't understand what your phrasing in that message means
I meant to say like a modded skin of the beheaded for hollow khight
Oh there is?
Can I have a link please?
I'm very very sorry
I'm habituated to replying using the option, sorry if that was frustrating
These are all of the publicly available Hollow Knight Custom Knight Skins that I’m aware of. Some are more complete than others - for example some may have only the knight altered and no custom spells while others are vice versa, some may include sprite sheets for charms or cutscenes or be stand ...
Thanks a lot 
What file extension are you getting?
Aren't .rar files also extractable with winrar?
BTW would you mind sharing that link so that I can check for myself

Excuse me, I got hallow knight from GOG. How do I mod that?
Did you install it using Galaxy?
I'm aware of what GoG is. You didn't answer the question
I don't know how to answer. I took it from the site and opened the set-up program. it looks like an orange and white disk
Here's a video tutorial, but do note that if you pirated the game, then it won't work; it needs to be a purchased copy.

SCARAB DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/latest
MO...
aye i need help everytime i try to open the mod installer it closes itself
Which mod installer ? And what OS are you on
How to download mods to pirate 1.5 version
my OS its oxierra or in other words 2015
🔹 Right-Click the Scarab icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file
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 Xbox App version and the official GoG version.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.
Basically, you dont
What do you have then ?
Het guys, I just got the debug mod for 1.2.2.1. but the save state option seems to be missing.
I had to reinstall hollow knight and then changed my game directory in scarab but now it says there was an exception when downloading(modname) and it doesnt work
uh-
im pretty sure youre wrong-
i have pirate hollow knight and the debug mod is working
is there a guide somewhere on how to play hollow knight randomizer
SHEESH
I downloaded scarab and don't know which mod to look for
I see Randomizer 4, Randomizer Map S, RandomizerCore, and RandomizerSettingsRandomizer
just get all of those
if they're enabled i think so, yes
Het guys, I just got the debug mod for 1.2.2.1. but the save state option seems to be missing.
Make sure your game is closed and run scarab as administrator
ok thanks
That means no support for a modded game wich will probably break on no much 🙃
after i installed the mods the game opens and crashes on loading screen
What mods. What OS. What game version. What mod installer
I’m using the enemy health bar mod in scarab. Can i resize it? It’s just a bit big. Or are there skins for enemy health bars that are smaller or simpler?
how to dwonlod any redince?
Where did you get hollow knight from
steam
Idk whos any redince but this link has any radiance
#archived-modding-help message
Use beta "none"
Again, use beta "none"
Ismoil is referring to the Steam settings for Hollow Knight, btw
It looks like you probably changed the patch you were on at some point
And you need to undo that change
Go to your library > right click hk > properties > betas to access it
Change it to none
I feel like it's rarely helpful to just say "use beta none", when many people won't have any idea what you're referring to. At the very least, try to say "change the beta to "none" in the game properties" or something 
hk won’t open- but mods are set up and installed, any suggestions
True ig
Where did you get the game from
Steam, on mac
And what installer are you using?
Scarab mac download
That means you are not in the correct beta of the game then
On steam, go to hk properties and select the beta none
Yes
alright ill give it a go, thank you :).
literally was trying everything and you fixed it with one beta switch suggestion thank you dude- everything’s mostly working now :).
is there a mod that skips cutscenes, like for example absolute radiances cutscene?
IIRC GodSeeker+ has an option about that
thx
cant find the option for it
does anybody else know?
Het guys, I just got the debug mod for 1.2.2.1. but the save state option seems to be missing.
A. Did you look through the Binds pages?
B. For speedrunning, you'd want to join the speedrun server pinned in #speedrunning They have more up-tp-date resources
Is it possible to get stuck and not being able to progress in a randomizer such as kings mark being in the abyss
Qol does this, and it also skips pv's cutscene
Normally you can't get stuck in a randomizer
So the mod prevents it?
Yes, you can always access an item to progress
Qol?
so the mods work on current patch now?
That's the name of the mod
Yes
i want to make a charm mod
Ok
how do i make mods
ok
ah thx
so i downloaded the current scarab thing and installed some mods, its on current patch but the mods aint showing up
so i came here to ask about hk mod installation on linux + steam
turns out there's just an aur pckg for scarab and i can move on w/ my life
arch be like
oh god wtf is my nick on here
that is... old..
dotnet build go brr
for some reason atomic radiance has stopped working ever since i downloaded Qol, any reason for that?
sadge, build script for scarab pckg is fucky and nuget won't resolve, trying scarab-bin 😔
ig that works atleast
damn, does none know how to make aur packages geez
If you haven't yet, watch this vid (at least the Scarab part) to make sure that you didn't skip something:

It shows the "atomic radiance" text, but doesnt actually have the properties of atomic radiance, jsut normal radiance
ty
It's possible that it's just not compatible? Atomic Radiance is a port, so not really designed for 1.5 in general
for anyone who cares: scarab-bin on aur shoves it in /opt/scarab
ok, thanks for the help.
okay, after a quit to menu it works, mb
@pliant lantern it doesnt ask me if they have the right directory like they asked to fireborn
2:52
wow both the mod installer, and mods seem to have improoved a LOT since the last time i tried this stuff out
You can reset the path with the "Change Path" button.
Additionally, you may need to launch Scarab as Administrator
You probably changed the setting for them
is Tribe of Battle added separately in ||hog|| or does it replace ||sisters of battle|| ?
also am i supposed to censor spoilers here?
Benchwarp has settings for changing the way Benches look
got it, just making sure
IIRC it reaplces
sadge, no biggie, i'll enable it when i re-unlock hog (and after beating sob again) lol
I mean, there is
ToT is in a separate room from PoP tho iirc, so no conflict there?
You messed with the settings at some point for how benches look based on distance
Mess with that setting again 
Alternatively, close your game and delete the Benchwarp global settings file
you can find it in your Saves folder
?saves

well i cant find whatever im looking for
its not there

theres only like five things
Where do you have your game from?
this just sucks
steam
It doesn't need to "find" it, because you can give it to it
Then you definitely have more than 5 files
otherwise you're in the wrong place
well i went to app data local low team cherry hollow knight
Screenshot the folder
when i try to just search for it, it finds it but it just opens hk
in the scarab app
You don't "search"
You just give it the folder path for the Hollow Knight folder
It's typically in the default location, unless you moved it

what does the Open Mods button in scarab supposed to do?
Did you just revently start playing HK again? Like, have you saved and quit even one time in the last month?
It should open the Mods folder
no I always quit the way you "should" (by that I mean going back to menu and pressing quit)
and also shitty defaults configs i didn't bother changing
omfg
ty dwarf
You said "No" and then proceeded to describe "Yes" to me question 
well im kinda stupid so
so does the Disable/Enable API button practically let me switch back n forth between modded n vanilla?
i asumme it toggles ModdingAPI?
which would mean >.> not loading the mods that use it... aka all of em
In theory, yes. In practice, it donks up easily, and doesn't always work.
When you first install ModdingAPI, it's supposed to make a backup of the vanilla Assembly. But for some reason it fails to make that backup a lot, which means it doesn't work when it tries to restore it
damn
huh i did exactly this and its still not working
everest does the same thing for celeste
nvm im stupid
maybe I should just get rid of benchwarp
Right click Scarab, and select "Run as Administrator"
you have to redownload the mods
correction: the same thing, but it actually works, and also you can re-start into vanilla from the title screen
omg yes
currently waiting for HK to launch with way too many mods for my own good
oh it launched
So, for some reason, your game isn't saving things where it's supposed to. Normally this only happens when someone has an install from a different vendor. If you have it from Steam, then I'm not sure why your files aren't there.
It's possible I suppose that they're in the Equivalent location on your D drive, but they really shouldn't be.
The only other thing I can think of if it's a family share account or something, which doesn't use files normally
aight hk works with mods, time to find a nice skin and move on
These are all of the publicly available Hollow Knight Custom Knight Skins that I’m aware of. Some are more complete than others - for example some may have only the knight altered and no custom spells while others are vice versa, some may include sprite sheets for charms or cutscenes or be stand ...
ooh nice
Does scarab work on 1.221 aswell as 1.5?
wow some of these skins are rly good 🥺
There is no Mod Installer for 1221
ok, skin installed, now awaiting launch (very slow)
wooh, everything works
oh god hitboxes are odd on smaller skins xD
aaaah i need to toggle infinite charm notches off, i'm still early game on a legit save 🥺
Would it cause any issues on 1.221 if I leave scarab installed/injected when I downpatch?
It could, yeah. Scarab reads files from the HK install folder. You shouldn't have it open if you're messing with that folder
And if you try to open Scarab when 1221 is installed in the folder, then you'll just break your 1221 install
.> i died while picking up a key and it's just straightup gone
Alright, thx for the help
You probably have the key then
not afaict
I'm not sure what key it is, but the game will only display Either Shopkeepers Key or Elegant Key, not both
But you can't lose something from dying while picking it up, because you either
- pick it up, or
- don't
and whether or not the shiny is there is based on the above
i don't have either
i picked up the simple key under storeroom stag, died, s&q, installed scarab and mods, loaded in, and didn't have the key
and the key isn't where you pick it up, or in my inv

You can always Save Edit, or add a key using Debug
So, it's been a while since I last opened Scarab and I see some mods have "out of date" on them. How do I fix this? Is there a new version of Scarab or something?
The newest version of Scarab has a Reload icon to update them.
If you have an old version, you click the Orange box.
Oh yeah now they are normal. Thank you.
hem.. debug mod says it set simple keys to 6..
Btw, where can I find the newest version?
but there's nothing in my inv
whatever, hopefully it fixes itself lol
shit
i'm blind
How are you writing and reading?
smh bad joke 
anyway one of the mods i added moved stuff from my inventory to an equipment tab >.>
and uhh
now i have 3 debug simple keys, 6 debug pale ore, and wasted 950 geo on an extra key >.>

So I'm currently trying to get HollowPoint working, and was wondering if any of y'all have ever run into this issue here?
Hollow point doesnt work in new saves
That makes sense, I was trying to look through readmes and stuff to figure out if that was a thing, but couldn't seem to find anything lmao
ty!!
using debug menu from scarab to make the game a bit easier. but my changes dont save if i restart the game. can you save these changes ?
They should save. Are you save and quitting?
Most debug changes apply to the file itself. So they should save just like your game does
Yes. Im also using the easy mode mod which stopped partially working. Most of its functions still work (like faster recharge) but hgher nail damage stopped working
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mods too
Changing the nail damage with two different mods may cause a conflict
No. Like, when you use debug to change things about your save file, those things are written to the file itself
So if your game itself saved, then the debug changes would save too
Strange. Because my game progress is saving. I used debug to make the soul blast (sorry i frogot what it’s called lol) not cost any soul, but after saving, quitting, and restarting, that cheat is no longer enabled.
Just annoying to have to redo all my custom debug changes every time i play
i need help[
Omg thanks so much for the elaborated explanation
um my soul master is broken
cant send a pic but every time i try to change my skin it goes back to the one called "swapper demo" which i didnt download. should i just delete it or is it important?
-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.
It's a showcase of what ck can do
cant let me type before going off on me?
oh ok thx
so whenever i beat the first phase of soul master he it looks like he gets knocked back but it goes on for a lot longer
and his second form never comes out
ive done soul tyrant and the issue doesnt occur
Mods?
thats what she said
ok.
You may need to disable QoL
How am i supposed to know when ck stops dumping
I just filed a bug report about this a couple hours ago. Seems to be a regression in yesterday's release.

- Make sure that your game is closed

- Right click it and select "Run as Administrator"
- Reinstall any mods you want

is there a mod i can use to summon my shade to myself on demand?
(i'm going for any% 5h speedrun, and i don't wanna waste any more time going back for my geo as i die stupidly, i'm already 3h in and just got d-nail 🥺
Hi i can't find the DLL for MultiWorld. Can someone give me the link?
Debug Mod has a "kill shade" button that does this.
Or you can use fireb0rn's "MP_RemoveShade" which prevents it from spawning entirely https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lwsJTyyb_fcvCQdIT6WIbi8zGHU-pHal
Traditional HK MW hasn't been ported to 1.5 yet. If you want, you can look into Archipelago, and use the AP mod and website to play MW though

No

Oh, I think you need to update ItemChanger?
You should hopefully be able to do it through Scarab
so can I download mods manually using scrab similler to the mod installer?
Yes but they need to be in a folder
I figured it out!
thx for letting me know btw
What to do with "Unable to fetch modlinks, operation failed with HTTP error"? (Scarab)
hello i accidentely deleted my charms and added some pale ore using the debug mode is there anyway i can undo all of the debugmode settings so i can still play my save?

Is there a mod that shows your item locations for a randomizer, or just a map that shows you soul totem locations, rancid egg etc

I downloaded it, if I have an old randomizer save is it still compatible?
no

you did all 3 things from that message?
Yes
so using that vpn doesn't work at all? and you deleted the json files?
Yes
check your firewall settings then i guess
and make sure you're running scarab as admin

I saw multiple times in videos of e.g. fireb0rn that it is possible to show hitboxes of walls and spikes. Do you know which mod makes it possible?

you could play on the public server
is there a way to get gun mod on 1.5 patch?
thanks, and where can I find such option? I can only see "collision" under the enemies tab, but it doesn't show hitboxes of walls
in the hotkeys menu
yes. through scarab, like the other mods
Is there an enemy randomizer compatible with Scarab?
yes
How do I get it?
Thank you, didn’t see that in pinned
how do I access a list of all custom skins?
It's not allowed

Send your modlog then.
then after, uninstall all your mods, then launch the game. does it load then? and does the API text appear top left?

I've repaired the game files' integrity with steam and some files were cleaned away, and now I can't run scarab. Is this a common problem? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!
For some reason, my Hollow Knight just won't open. I launch it off of Steam, and it comes up with a crash pop-up for like half a second and then it disappears. I'm using Scarab to mod the game too, maybe it has something to do with that?
screenshot your steam beta settings for hk
I know there's a 1.5 update but I just don't know how to get to it
change that to "none"
when it's done, reinstall a mod
So if I have multiple mods installed, I should reinstall them all?
no
if someone has a suggestion please ping me
wdym you can't run scarab
scarab being able to run doesn't depend on your steam files
well, it doesnt load anything
in your game?
when i launch the game, there's no gray bar indicating that it's even working
yes, you removed mods
so the problem isn't even the mods
reinstall mods on scarab
It crashed once but it seems to work now, thanks!
ummm the mods themselves arent recognized ingame and the game can't load past title screen
then you probably have conflicting mods, or too many
well you don't have satchel
It works now, thank you!

better off asking someone thats not me. or half of the server i highly doubt alot of us have used custom trial
you can also ask the HK modding server

Hey, I was wondering if theres currently an enemy randomizer available in scarab, and if so what it is called. I looked it up within scarab and didn't find anything, and I don't want to have to scroll though the whole mods list to try and find it. Thanks!
So I just downloaded scarab
and my mod folder just says "disabled"
hold on
how do I download mods such as from nexus
that aren't supported on scarab
Hey! So I'm trying to install a couple mods. More specifically, BenchWarp and Debug, but whenever I try, an error message pops up saying "An exception occured while installing or uninstalling (Name)." I've tried with multiple mods and have gotten the same thing. Any tips?
Edit: I also just found all of my other mods aren't installed anymore and also won't let me install them.
@real prairie there is an enemy rando for 1.5, but it's not on Scarab. You have to install it manually, there is a guide on how to do that and a link to the mod in the message I replied to
cool, thanks!
Close your game, make sure scarab folder is on desktop. Run scarab as admin
I forgot to run it as admin 
Does anyone know how to add those Rest stops in the custom Pantheon?
would it be like "GG_Rest" or something silly like that, in the Scarab thingy btw
Does anyone know how to focus a dreamer in hollow point?
don't, install qol
is it literally impossible because I don't like to play with qol
what mod could I use that can change how much completion percentage I can have?
can someone help me? im using scarab for customknight mod and I got all the skin folders in the skins folder and stuff but when I hit esc it just doesnt show up
You need to go to Options -> Mods -> Custom Knight. I installed it yesterday and it worked for me.
Yes select the skin you have on your folder you want to use and press apply skin. You also need to make sure everything is in place inside the folder.
is there a way for it to be like on the side of pause screen?
Not that I am aware of. Only in HKMP and they have to be numbered.
ok
I hope that helped.
On another note, I'd like to make my own skin, is there anyone that can help me with what I need to do and any tips for the process?
is there a mod that makes the bosses in hall of gods similar to the ones in the poh (like markoths fight in poh but not with double damage)
ok elon musk
I need some help pls. I wanted to mod so I got the latest scarab version, game is on 1.5, the path is set correctly, game is closed, running scarab on admin but no matter what I try to install it gives me the "An exception occurred while installing or uninstalling __." alert
Is the scarab folder in your desktop?
yes
yup, its got the 4 files in it like it should be
I cant think of any solution other than butterfly
which is?
A modinstaller for 1.5
ok so i just downloaded scarab but when i try to run it it says "unable to fetch modlinks, the operation timed out" what do i do
ah, I can try but probably at a later time. I've been trying to fix this for a while and I'm slowly losing motivation
Run as admin, if that doesn't fix it use a vpn
ty ty
anyone having issues with being able to toggle the scarab api. Hollow Knight is broken for me and i believe its the mods. I have repaired the installation files and downloaded the latest version of scarab
Could you send a screenshot of your beta page in steam?
Found in hk properties
sure thing
