Then hold on for a month, ig.
Would anyone know about modded hollow knight on mobile
Streamed using wifi from a pc but idk if it can also take the mods
Mobile path of pain multiplayer race sounds funny
any clue if the new Charm Mod on Scarab works with Rando?
well, I wanted to open the game, and this is what greeted me... after installing CharmMod, haven't had that issue before
trying to restart the game in the meantime
have the dependencies installed, checked it
restart with same result, can't even close the game without forcing it from the taskbar
starting the game after disabling the mod makes it work normally
would appreciate a ping, if someone has any clue how to make it work 🙏
tried removing Transcendence and SkillUpgrades, looking for conflicts, neither of them helped
My mods broke when I switched back to current patch from 1.2.2.1, they are still in the game files but don't work
Yeah, 1.5 mods are completely different from 1.2.2.1
Oh do you mean you had 1.5 mods installed, went to 1.2.2.1, then went back to 1.5?
If so, just open scarab, then reinstall the ModdingApi by installing another mod
At least I think that would work
If that doesn’t work, try resetting scarab by doing one of the reset methods in this message
?saves Can you install the qol and Vasi mods and try again? If it still doesn’t work, then can you send me the ModLog.txt file in your save files path?

thanks
I do have Qol, will need to see if I have Vasi, but I believe I do
@wheat orchid
does anybody know what the framerate is of the knight in hollowknight
i obviously know the game is 60 fps but i mean on what frame is the knight animated
Looks like it has 2 bugs I can find so far: 1. It’s being loaded twice 2. It’s having an error where it’s missing code
The reason the menu gets stuck is because there’s some real bad error before the game starts
Just try disabling it for now
when charm mod is disabled, the game works normally, yeah
I was just curious to try it out
I suppose will just keep an eye out for any updates to it? try it again once it updates?
Scarab will have a orange out of date button to update it when it updates
sounds good 👍
anybody know how to fix Unable to fetch modlinks, the operation timed out?
Hey, i verifyed integrity of game files and now my mods are'nt working. what should i do?
What did you expect when doing it? Reinstall a mod
Alright how the fuck do I get mothwing cloak in godsoul
The vk way is closed
By saw
Same with the gamer way (which is how fire got there during his playthrough)
Do I have to beat vk to get to hornet?
Or does the game expect me to do fireball skips
In readme.md the author said it's possible to get 112%
So I'm assuming that
There is a way
Do I have to do white palace style saw pogos with no dash?
I would assume you would be expected to do fireball skips/pogo a fool eater up
The fool eater pogo is blocked off by a saw
Send me a picture of what you mean
One sec
I'm on mobile so you'll have to excuse my shit quality
My computer can't run hollow knight and discord
Don't judge the MacBook air I didn't know shit about computers when I got it
Ah so you can’t go up to vk either because of saw
No I can get there but the way down to stag is blocked by a saw
Well then you don’t need the stag ig you have to fight Hornet
maybe place a bench down with benchwarp
No I can't get to the hornet room in the first place
I'll try beating vk
See if that does anything
And the way up from underneath is blocked by a lever
If that doesn't work
I'll probably just noclip
What mods do you have
Modding api, benchwarp, debug mod, godsoul, invincibility monitor, qol, satchel, sfcore, and transtrans
Hmm I guess godsoul probably updated cause never seen this 
I was more saying that you got a new update but should probably check just in case ig
no clip I guess
I'll try vk because it's very possible that that's it
Either way the geo will be nice
Getting there is harder than the actual boss ngl
Lol
Traitor lord flashbacks
Dream gate exists
Yup you have to beat vk
Not pre-hornet it doesnt
And I'm not doing a true ending shade skip and grind out essence from birds for days
They were talking about tlord
Yeah that's what I did
Why would you fight tlord pre hornet
Because doing that is based
You can technically do that
It'd be hell
But you could
Do it
Wait does hornet sentinel not show up if you haven't beaten hornet protector?
She does show
Hehehe
But beating her wouldnt be pre-hornet
Boring
She doesn’t have diolauge if you beat sentinel before protector
Does she have the same dialogue for protector if you beat sentinel first?
Devs pls patch for our useless game breaks
Elaborate
it just shows black screen
What platform
windows
I am snail it has been too long
What no silksong does to a mf
lmao
Where is the Modding Api for enemy rando
Wdym, enemy rando doesnt have a specific api
Hotspring get out of here
:(
I know from expirience lol
Ismoil I am back to m help notifications and all
does spritepacker also break down when you delete some random file lol
Spritepacker Info
Spritepacker is used to stitch together hollow knight sprites that are split from something like Game Object Dump (GODump)
Download: https://github.com/magegihk/HollowKnight.SpritePacker/releases/latest
Video Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFIudBIWI1Y
ok ill try that then thanks
On the read me for the enemy rando it says dependecies for the mod was a modding api by Seanpr and Frizen
"This mod depends on the Modding API by Seanpr and Firzen, which is a modified Assembly-CSharp.dll.
There is currently no public download link for the Modding API.
For now, check the pinned messages in the #modding channel in the Hollow Knight discord."
I see, that is just the thing need for general modding, as i can see you are trying to get the 1.4 version
The mod was already ported to current patch
#archived-modding-help message
Check this FAQs list, it contains the link to the mod an instructions on how to download it
thanks
Can somebody send me the mod installer for 1.2.2.1? Neither Scarab doesn't works nor installing it manually works, the Modding API just doesn't shows up
There is no modinstaller for 1.2.2.1
!!! THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR HOLLOW KNIGHT VERSION 1.2.2.1 (the speedrunning patch) !!!
If you're on current patch, please find and use the modinstaller instead.
These downloads are a bit more up-to-date than the stuff I show in the video but I'm sure you guys will be able to figure it out
Modding API: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/81...
I followed that tutorial but when I open the game it's vanilla
hellooooo i would love some help, I'm trying to install custom knight on windows current patch
https://hollowknightmods.wixsite.com/customknightskins/post/how-to-install-a-skin-with-custom-knight
🔺This guide includes installing a skin on custom for patches 1.5.78 & 1.4.3.2 For issue/glitches you run in to consult this guide: https://cd198883.wixsite.com/customknightskins/blank-page For Additional Questions Consult this FAQ: [To be made] ⚙️For patch 1.5.78⚙️ 🔹If you haven’t already, download Scarab the Mod installer for 1.5 -Link: https:/...
Then you skipped a step
You got the 1.2.2.1 m api and replaced existing folders with it?
I'm guessing you are trying to use multiple installs, and skipped a step in that.
Yes, I'll redownload the game and redo all the steps
Got it, thanks
Um, so I accidentally broke my hollow knight data so I've deleted and reinstalled everything, but now scarab doesn't load.
It doesn't show the mods in options or anything.
Does anyone know how to, well, sort it out?
And yes, I do have the latest version of Scarab.
Just installed it and it still doesn't work.
reinstall all your mods on scarab
reinstalling your game means your game is vanilla
you have to redo the whole process
ohhhh I see..
Thank you!
Now that I think about it, I think I've had this problem before. :/
Ah, remember when I broke my hollow knight?
It's still broken
You could try explaining what your problem actually is 
I'll screenshot it, give me a moment
There's the problem.
That's it. That's all there is on the main menu screen.
No buttons, no saves, nothing.
did you install charm mod
yes
Gotem
uninstall that
right ok
didn't do anything wrong when I had it first though 
Oh, there we go, it works now
Hey it gave you a wallpaper, say thank you instead
Hollow knighy skins only works on Steam?
Only on pc
No pirates
I like pirates their ships are so cool
i have a little problem with scarab, it says that it cant find "api-ms-win-core-winrt-I1-0.dll" it told me to redownload it i did it didnt work what do i do?
someone please help
-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.
i downloaded modinstaller for hollow knight, and all of a sudden ive gotten a heavy amount of imput lag from my dualshock controller
anyone know any fix for this?
turn off vsync
what is the mod Pail Curt, it says the pale court mod, is it the real thing?
then why is it called pail curt, not pale court
and why are the mod files called Zaliant's surprise
typo i guess
i don't think it's real
@west bane never paid me for it tho 
well, ok then
if it's real then you should fix the readme
it doesn't tell you anything about what it does
Is there a way to play together w\ a friend?

ty :>
did it work?
if yes which mods did you download
can anyone help me with this
close your game and run scarab as an administartor
follow th pinned guides they are there beacuse they work
ok, so when i open hollow knight (with mods), the title screen has no buttons (see screenshot). Not sure how to fix it or what is causing it
ive also been able to load modded hk without problems before
List of enabled mods: aspidnest, benchwarp, CharmMod, QoL, DebugMod, Random Pantheons, Satchel, SFCore, Vasi
Game is up to date on steam, no betas are being used
Idk if this is where to ask, but I cannot seem to kill Zote with the Zotekiller mod installed. I fight him in trial of the warrior but he does not die, is there something I am doing wrong? (I'm just fighting him normally, last hit was with Pure Nail)
yes it did and check the guides
Can someone help me?
The thing is that whenever I pick the folder with hollow knight data it tells it doesn't contain it even if it's there
could i get achievements with mods on?
oh ok ty
How do I turn off scarab
i just tried randomizer for the first time, some weird glitches (in video) and dialogue/tollbooth and pause menu not showing up.
I think the random teleport got me stuck in some spikes in the forgotten crossroads and then it got stuck in the death animation. Also enemies are glitched
why is the pale court mod called pail curt
yep...
what other mods do u have on?
it doesnt work with itemchanger
idk why
here is the updated readme
so ye
as u can see, ik this is a problem
and im trying to fix
it also says u cannot pick up charms via randomizer as they are not in the charm pool
ah, alright. Would that be added later, the randomizer compatibility?
well, that's all I could hope for :)
Best of luck, and take your time 👍
thx!
also, I am really trying to get rando compatibility, bc some of the charms are hard to get... kinda made for 112% worlds.
I'm not quite sure how this whole biz works, but perhaps you could take a look at how Transcendence works, because it's basically the same kind of mod
and it already smoothed out the issues, works with randomizer, even is treated as a connection mod to it
ye
that is correct
and I have looked at it
but that needs itemchanger, so until i get that menu title screen bug fixed...
im back with more stupid questions Lawl
does anyone know an easy fix for the sprites being cut off like this? i have all the full sprites n stuff, but theyre all cut off on the actual full sprite sheet thing
Make it thiner
Assuming you're using spritepacker or CKC to pack your skin, the red boxes around the sprites are your size limits, so stay within the lines.
Helloes, is there any easy way to install old mods to the new version of HK? Trying to get Dreamshield Coop while otherwise using Scarab.
does anyrad works on current patch?
The current patch version does
Any Radiance
1.5 version (Requires Satchel): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610754780461006848/956039971381329970/Any1578.dll
To manually install mods on 1.5.78.
🔹 Download the mod (it'll be either a dll file or a folder).
🔹 Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
🔹 Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
➡️ Run the game.
Example of an installed mod:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/966571611350261800/Manual_Installation.png
the mod downloaded as Any1758.dll
how do i name the folder?
Any1758 or AnyRadiance
🔹 Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
I was asking about this part
but thanks
The dll of the Dreamshield mod seems to be Assembly-Csharp.dll and just putting it into a folder didn't work. The readme of the mod says to overwrite the Assembly-CSharp under the hollow_knight_Data/Managed folder. Doing that makes the game not launch.
Its 1.4 
Yea, figured :/ thus the original question; is there any way to install old mods on the new patch?
Is it a lot of work to "update" a mod to the new patch?
how to use decoration mod?
there should be a folder called DecorationsMasterData
but there is no folder for me
Depends
Did you install the mod?
i installed decoration mod in scarab
opened its folder
and there should be a DecorationsMasterData folder
It's in the mods folder Not in the decorationmaster foldee
there is already a "global.json" in the folder and in the downloaded folder
should i replace it?
For manual installation of mods (just adding folders in the /Mods folder, do you need the modding API to be running or are they completely unrelated?
You can't run the mapi on its own
I tried installing visual studio to see if I could get into the dll and managed through googling to open it and have realized that I am way over my head... But I gotta go now. Thanks for answers though!
What you mean it's way more complicated than you thought or what?
So me and my friend are in quite a predicament
We're playing the hollow knight randomizer with item sync on
We've cleared every check in the game from what we can tell but couldn't find Monomon
Upon looking into it
It says it's in the whispering root in spirits glade
However the spirits glade is eternally locked in randomizer
Its not
where do i get modded bosses like anyrad or ultimatum radiance?
Talk to seer after getting 200 essence
Anyrad is here
#archived-modding-help message
dont really know if ultimatum is ported
Lol
how do i use that file
@novel yewFYI I finished with a 95% file and I didn't do 4 dream warriors and 3 normal bosses and trial of the fools
Nice you got to finishing, getting a 95 in randomizer is pretty hard (and by that i mean time taking)
It was an item sync so we 111% because neither of us did trial of fools
We could of finished at around 60% but we thought glade was inaccessible
sooo i asked here before and tried some things and i still dunno what happening, ConnectionMetadataInjector, CorruptedKin, InfernoGrimmMod and RainbowEggs aren't working and not sure why
Reinstall itemchanger
Hi, I've been trying to do some settings rando and each time I generate a new game it has always been in steel soul mode, does anyone know how to stop this? this is the list of mods installed as well.
Is it really ss or just the hud?
You have ss hud enabled if its only the hud
pretty sure its defo ss, havnt tried all but died in a few to see if it was ss and perma death
which mod would the ss hud be under?
Steel soul hud is the name
Or its a ck skin which has the ss hud as the default
no ss hud is not default, i have classic games which come up with the normal hud
Screenshot your mods folder
is it just the misc settings when i do a full settings rando from rando4 or rando plus and im just getting really unlucky?
With steel soul Hud make sure it is enabled in the mods menu and you may have to die once in the file to make it work
i dont want the ss hud but thanks. the settings rando is enabling ss mode and i dont want that as i die to stupid things. Im trying to have a normal game but just randomised settings.
?saves Delete the randomizer global settings files in your saves folder as well as reinstall rando

The thing is that whenever I pick the folder with hollow knight data it tells it doesn't contain it even if it's there
Hi, I have a problem were the custom knight mod doesn’t load the health and soul bar, any suggestions?
There is a setting called “enable all”, try it
Been out of doing anything with Hollow Knight for a while, tried to run Hollow Knight, it got the loading bar, and when it finally loaded no options showed up for me to click, just the title Hollow Knight and grubs bouncing around.
Yes and? You need to go into the mod settings
Tried running hollow knight, it said "Fatal Error: another instance is already running."
Run over steam directly
okay
hey so weird question; im playing randomizer with a few mods and basically, in every room theres a invisible...something? with dream particles and its making noise
What mods?
sec imma screenshot
the noises it makes sounds like mumbling, im not sure which enemy's noises it uses
sounds like the chasing mechanic from additional challenge
oh it might be, guess its broken? ill try disableing it
yeah that seems to have been it, no noises for 3 rooms now, thank you

it happened again
Do you have charm mod
last person this happened to seems to not have had Vasi installed but did have QoL, I have Vasi, tried disabling QoL, still nothing
Yeah, should I try disabling it?
Uninstall it
Takes longer to load, but it does load, and that's all I want. Thanks

More saves is the name
In the modmenu
oo ty
i did completion percent to 112
but
when i go in a game
it shows 88%
Where did you get the game from?
steam
im not sure what that is
Ok then no
You can see it on the unity version
You should be using scarab
ah thats probably it then
Im not that technical
You stupid
is there a link to scarab in here somewhere
Or however

You named yourself after day one so no

Thanks a bunch
I want to install the pogo master mod but it isn't on scarab
how are you supposed to install mods that don't come with scarab?
follow the structure of the other mods it installs
wut
open scarab > open mods folder
ok you can see the file structure of what scarab does
you should follow that structure
what structure?
the structure of the file heirarchy
there are a ton of mod folders showing all the mods I have installed
not all mods are compatible with current patch. So if you're trying to use a mod that was never updated for 1.5, it won't work.
you can make a mod in 2022 for 1.4 so date is irrelevant
oh
and yes this is what scarab does, so if you don't do what scarab does here it's just going to ignore your file
so what should I do?
do what scarab does with the file structure for your mod
but what does that mean!?!?!?!?
scarab's file structure makes folders
okay
and yours is not in a folder
yes it is
If you downloaded the mod from Nexus, it's outdated and unsupported
you said it wasnt, you said you just dropped the file in there
oh yeah I downloaded it from nexus
I dropped the folder with the mod files into the folder with all the other mods
then it being an outdated mod is the issue
oh ok
Yeah, I wouldn't bother downloading anything from Nexus. From what I understand, nothing there works on current patch.
Hi, I need help I want to add skins to my game but I play in switch and google doesn’t help much
you can't mod on switch
Ok thank you
You can get skins on switch but it's not worth it
would i need it enabled or not?
any mod which can reduce the dmg taken to be 1 (e.g. when fighting ascended bossts in hog)?
how do i host a game for a friend using zerotier?
we both have hkmp installed and running
God seeker plus
is there a mod that can give all of the charms?
debug
charm mod has been breaking games lately, I'd hold off on that one.
hmm
without itemchanger its fine
u need SFCore and Satchel as dependencies
23 new charms
you can also edit the png files
and it changes the image in game
how to get charms etc is in readme
umm

its on scarab

Nevermind. I just had the AsciiCamera mod enabled
Ok help
Pls
Today, I download the Scarab installer
For install a Multiplayer Mod
But after
When I open the Hollow Knight, has jump this error
anyone know why the corrupted kin mod just makes the boss just stand still and do nothing
i tried opening scarab but everytime i do a new file appears in the scarab file called modinstaller error
Does anyone know why a randomizer save file wouldn't be loading? (it seems to be stuck on the black screen) I checked my other non-modded save files and they're loading in fine, it's just the randomizer save that's not working.
anyone know how to get this skin?
i clicked the link and i downloaded it but it is the wrong file type or something like that
Hey this seems quite useful. Thanks so much
how do i mod the game if i got it through gamepass

What's a good mod to help me have the map with all the collectables/charms?
I ain't too familiar with some areas and it would be handy so I dont miss things for a faster route
i dont know of a mod but i used this website that is a basically a checklist of everything you want on the map
It's like a list though if you are talking about the analyser
I know about the interactive map too but I d rather have it in game if possible
oh sorry :/
I saw skurry going for all grubs with randomizer and he had a map like that
oh
Are you playing rando?
No not yet at least
Then install VanillaMapMod
Thank you 😊
every single time i am doing a randomizer it randomly teleports me to kings pass, is there any way to fix that?
If you can, post your modlog from a session where it happened.
Other than that, uninstall Transcendence, as that may be the cause
Old Modlogs are in a folder of the same name in your saves folder

okay!!
do you want to erase all traces of modding in your game entirely or just disable everything ?
in order to play the vanilla game again the simplest way is just to verify your games files
Go to steam > right click HK > properties > local files > verify game integrity
it will not affect your saves at all
and then if you ever want to mod again, just downloading the installer will make everything work again
no need to reinstall every separate mod
well you have to understand that adding extra sprites/textures for new area is, a lot of work
that said i do think that a handful of mods do add content, in the sense that they let you revisit in a different way the games base content
(aka randomiser/hollow point/transcendance)
It's just not worth spending all your time in it for the revenue you get so the process is pretty slow
have you tried transcendence ? it is one of the rare mods to add new charms around the world and such
And modded bosses are alps great most actually change the fight that much its like a new one
Like pale prince, corrupted kin, inferno king grimm
but yeah i get what you are talking about
you've finished hollow knight, and you are trying to re experience it
so you want to be lost around the world... explore new stuff... get scared about that room in which you might loose all of your geo
but that doesn't exist
Randomizer is the right thing for that
for that we have to wait for silksong
Or the glimmering realm
yeah nah, no one has ever played rando ever.
Yea
but don't worry silksong will get news later today in the sgf xbox showcase, the leaks said so.................... don't get your hopes up clearly there won't be any, those leaks are really iffy
But you should try out the glimmering realm it lets you rexpirience the world
it is done ? or still very much in beta ?
but please
do not get your hopes up
It's still wip but you can play it
the leaks are.... weird
some twitter shenanigans, the source is supposedly quite known, but some have pointed out some error within certain images/logos
but then some say that the original post didn't have those photos
it's a mess
(that is factually wrong)
but very much off topic
Hey guys what do I do with scarab brakes
I have a bit of a problem
I think it's one of the mods that broke my Hollow Knight
it seems normal at first but to be real I can't move, open my inventory or menu or do anything at all, I'm stuck in this screen for a long time now not able to do anything
I tried restarting the game but it didn't fix the problem it remains the same
so I decided to reinstall it. After I reinstall it, it worked fine I can play the game because the mods are probably disabled. Then I reinstall the mods and restart the game again the problem that I had earlier came back after I reinstalled the mods.
is there a mod that skips the light effect when going thru dream fights
specifically godhome
where can i install skins?
Does anyone know how I can add the modinstaller to my hollow knight if I buy it through the xbox app?
or does it only work on steam ?
Use scarab, it's the current installer and it's linked in the first pinned message. There's a guide on how to use it here :
#archived-modding-help message
#archived-modding-help message
This message has links to skins and to a guide explaining how to use them
ok I'll try, ty :)
thank you
Close your game
i did
Run scarab as admin
i got random text file
Send it
and every time its different
Scarab needs to be in a folder with the other 3 files it came with
Looks like some is missing
yeah but when i try to install a mod
.
I reinstalled the game again, ended up with the same problem
Good. Are the 3 files on the same folder
yes
Wich is?
Can you please send a screenshot of the folder
Like including the parh
right here, pretty rough day
yo does anyone know any good skins
oh
Maybe you are missing deoendencies
Also tip always extract folders
Killer whale
in HK file or random file?
In desktop
deoendencies?
Dependencies* sorry
A thing that is needed for mods to work
You can check the dependencies of a mod by clicking its name on scarab
yeah the same problem
Did you get the game by gamepass?
could you send a link
In a sec
🔹Killer Whale by Scorpion.Rufeul [TWP] features 31 changed sprite sheet: [Baldur, Birthplace, Some Charms, Cloak, DreamArrival, DreamNail, Fluke, Geo, Grimm, Hatchling, Hornet, HUD, Knight, OrbFull, Quirrel, Shield, Shriek, SkullLeft, SkullRight, Sprint, Unn, VoidSpells, VS, Weaver, Webbed, Wings, Wraiths]
no
Huh. And you are using the extracted scarab
yes
Try running that scarab as admin
Thanks man it work
one question: if custom knight only loads the skin but not the health and soul bar, whatshould i do?
Are you missing dependencies?
Does the skin have a hud reeskin?
Or well, can you send a screenshot of the insides of the folder?
What was it?

helping out my friend @Smolaire#/0275 here, so apparently his screen got stuck after trying to warp with bench warp but ended up dead
pressing esc does nothing whatsoever
reinstalling the game however fixes it, but bringing in the mods back brings him back to that state
the knight looks soo exhausted of all the bs in the world i love it
I want to thank you again. This mod has greatly improved my experience in hog, especially for p5ab practice

Hopefully quick question: in GodSeekerPlus, the lifeblood option is on, and it did gave me lifeblood in the first boss fight in HoG. However such lifeblood is not granted in later boss fights (same boss, same difficulty). I tried to toggle the option in menu. It didn't add lifeblood. Any assumpiong/workflow that I'm missing?
Also tried different boss. It's like the mod isn't loaded.
I can continuously dash in HoG, so the mod is actually active. Wondering why only the lifeblood isn't working
Findings: apparently it has some misinteraction with mask binding.
i forgot how to use customknight with hkmp
so you can see other ppls skins, any help pls
uh it seems like hollowpoint broke, and im not sure how to fix it
says to check modlog.txt, but cant find where it is
GodSeekerPlus now gives me a different problem: after each fight, the "Challenge" menu from the same boss is missing. Reentering HoG to find it again.
Is there a common way to check known bugs of a mod? Like in the above case I'd like to know if this is common/known (means proabably nothing wrong with my setup) or it's only happening to me (means I probably did something wrong).
You need to exit and open back that save
Another option is to create a new save files without the mod, then install the mod and open that save
i did that
it still broke
i read the readme, i knew that was an issue. but loading a new save with it uninstalled then installing it didnt work
scarab
yes
i did
i had the mod completely uninstalled when i made the file
save and quit
exited the game
reinstalled hollowpoint, and relanched the game and file
You may be missing some dependencies ?
Hmm weird
Unless it is some weird issue with custom knight I don’t see what could the problem then
You should be good if you follow the steps
i have randomizer mod, but it worked with it previously
its an issue with the mod, not launcher
it says "initializing failed"
whenever it breaks
ik theres a mod that removes bosses from arenas. is it for 1.5 and does anyone have it
Posting this skin to see if anyone likes it.
A simple combination of Void Knight, Onigiri and Default (VOD). Provides a knight with Void Knight/Onigiri skin (black body with white eyes; white body when shade cloaking and spell casting), default effects (white slash, nail arts, super dash) and posterized hub.
See README_x.txt files for the original skins' respective credit.
(fwiw keep these types of things to #modding-discussion next time)
oh yeah that make sense. will do that. thx

This means that you're missing a dependency most likely.
IIRC you need Vasi, but Scarab should tell you if you click on the mod name.
You ModLog.txt can be found in your Save Files folder

I'm playing my first randomizer and it keeps teleporting me to kings pass for no reason, how do I fix this?
oh my god bro it just happened during the soul master fight
Hello, someone played the Randomizer 4 mod, I don't have a start button for some reason, although I did everything according to the guides
clicking back saves your custom settings
and you start from there
unless im completely wrong
which now that I think about it
Use a smaller window size
You're
yeah i thought you were on a different screen, my bad
but how do I stop teleporting to king's pass against my will
because it's been happening throughout my randomizer and I have no idea why
Do you just fall from the top of kp randomly
I don't fall
im just teleported to the start of king's pass
it even interrupted my boss fight
Send me a picture of your mods folder
You the warp buttom of benchwarp is assinged to a hot key that you use
Get rid of reopen city door and mask maker notches
alr
Done, I'll continue playing and we'll see if it happens again
wtf
i started the game and this happened
i cant even open the menu
i checked my modlog.txt, but i didnt see anything. ill double check depdancies
can anyone show me how to use skins with hkmp
like the id file
i just forgot how to do it
i have Vasi downloaded
i restarted the game and I'm still here
I can't open the menu to benchwarp or turn on noclip
bruh some dudes capping in the vc that silksong has been announced on Xbox
Everything worked now, it didn't appear before, but right now I clicked on another safe and everything turned on, thank you
It remains to figure out how to do now that there would just be random mobs and it would be cool
This aged so poorly so fast 💀
???
how?
teer over here thought the dude was lying about silksong being announced on xbox
do we have an actual date witht he gamepass?
no, no release date yet
lmao
"within a year"
i misspoke
still good enough for me
it's no later than june 12th 2023
so glad i started playing hollow knight this year 🙏
let us hope...
I started my game up after disabling 2 mods and I'm stuck in the ground with no way to open the esc menu
inventory also doesn't work
ig my randomizer is dead
apparently elsewhere in the gamepass stream they said all gamepass games will be out within 12 months
goated
I'm hoping for this year, but expecting the latest possible date
we all are
:c
My partner and I were trying a few nights ago to run the same randomizer seed and playing together with the multiplayer mod and we couldn't get the same hash to appear despite using the same seed, checking we had the same settings, and copying the same settings code. Is there something we are missing?
Can you downpatch if you downloaded hollow knight through xbox game pass
to download a randomizer mod
You don’t need to downpatch
ok

i've just booted up rando stuff for the first time and whenever i
- read lore
- sit on a bench
- try to talk to someone
my game won't accept any inputs and just sits there and i have to force quit it, does anyone know what might be up? i'm using scarab
What mods do you have?
benchwarp, itemchanger, menuchanger, QoL, randomizer 4, randomizercore
those are the only ones, i just grabbed the ones the rando said it required
i dont know why but whenever i hit an enemy with the nail it duplicates
this was after updating scarab
you probably bound a debug ability to the same button you use to swing your nail
how do uninstall scarab? it isnt showing up in my applications list
is deleting the file enough?
Scarab itself isn't installed
If you don't want the program on your computer, then just delete it, but note that that won't make your game Vanilla
i have uninstalled all the mods but it still shows the modding api on the main screen
hi im new and wanted to ask
If you want to make your game vanilla, then the easiest way is to use Steam's "Verify Integrity" option
so mod how do?
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.

MO...
i don't mean installing mods i mean making them, im pretty inexperienced at making them
Also, #archived-modding-development is for creating, and many devs use the dev channels of the HK Modding server

i dont think anyone will reply but do any of you know any sites that have cool hollow knight skins on them
my game is suddenly super laggy and using up all of my CPU. nothing has happened that i know of that would cause this. I have removed all mods and restored it to vanilla but that only marginally improved it.
i really hope this isnt the case but if its using all of your cpu its probably a trojan unless you got it from steam or gog
i got it from steam. the game has worked great for almost a year with 200 hours
thats weird try scanning the files for any problems and see what it come up with
thats all i can think of
i verified the integrity of the game files already. thats how i made the game vanilla
i dont know man
All public skins are in the pinned message in #modding-discussion
Well, essentially all of them
if any are missing, it's only like 1 or 2
Fully restart your computer. You may also want to check if you have pending Windows Updates
where can i download custom HP bars? it seems like an option for the "Enemy HP Bar" mod on scarab but i cant find any to download online
Thank you 🙂
Can someone help me?
The thing is that whenever I pick the folder with hollow knight data it tells it doesn't contain it even if it's there
Good morning, does anyone have a page to download the save file of the path of pain, since I want to pass it on again pls 🙂
You can find save files on speedrun.com
if you jsut wanna replay PoP, and are using mods already, then just use QoL
thk
When I dreamnail markoth nothing happens
I opened my save with the tag mod unintentionally but then I unistalled the mod and never used it other time
I haven't fighted with him before
And it have the dream particles
But when a I use the dreamnail it has no response
Can you put enemy hp bars only on bosses?
Yes if you replace the images for normal hp bars with empty ones
Can someone help me? I can't get passed the main menu. Theres no prompts ive tried everything on my keyboard & controller
That shouldn't matter. Tag shouldn't make any permanent affect to a save. It's all temporary.
Are you using charmmod?
no idea what that is so probably not
What mods are you using?
Additinaol Maps
Change hud
Charm Mod
Compass Always On
Custom knight
Degubmod
DRP
Enemy HP BAr QoL
….
.
Ah i read that as grimmmod for some reason
Charm mod has had some issues recently so try disabling that and see if it works
Lightbringer has been out since the 1.2.2.1 update, but hasn’t been put on scarab after being ported because of one of many reasons
Many mods add bosses though, ex: corrupted kin, inferno king Grimm, ect
Hey how do you start tag with the HKMP Tag
corrupted kin just changes the boss
Good point
Is there a mod that adds bosses, in the main game. Like you can find the boss by exploring the map
There are none
sadge, any good mods you suggest?
Some mods add variations of bosses in godhome without replacing them, but idk which are ported. There’s also Cagney Carnation, Propeller knight, and Fennel bosses that are added in godhome by the indie crossover mod (might have been split up into mods named for each boss)
hm
So nobody knows huh
is the hollow knight gun randomizer mod available on scarab?
Rando and gun are both separate mods (both on scarab)
i see, thanks
my screen has been stuck like this, any help
do you have Charm Mod on?
yeah
disable it, broken atm
ah, and it seemed pretty fun, any other charm/ability mod by any chance?
Transendence
what does it do?
thanks
question, can someone explain to me the bonfire mod? I don't really understand it and I want to know what it is about before trying it
Iirc you can use geo at benches to upgrade your stats, exponentially costing more. Enemies might also get buffed as you upgrade more too?
interesting concept, thanks.
hey guys, i have a question, i installed the mod HKMP in scarab, and i want to see the skin of my friend, i tried to add his skin in the mod, change the id skin, but it don't works, what i do?
is the bonfire mod in scarab?
I don’t think it’s been ported
Not without knowing how to program in c#
C# is my worst programming languege, shit
It’s also generally preferred for people to get permission from the og creator, so you might want to do that too if you want to make it public
eh, it's fine. Guess I'll wait for it to get ported
Huh. I dont really see a point on waiting for nothing. New gens ig 
Or well, nothing new
Pretty sure its ported
Its not on scarab
oh
tbh silksong trailer looks dope, and the fact that xbox released it is even better
quite the plot twist
When I go with iselda and want to buy something it tells me the price is hidden ( i am playing with randomizer)
That's one of the options that you chose
it's in the "previews" section
and that's not the default, so you had to have changed it
Ohh and what is that option?
Help, I have bonfire mods in my mods folder, but it doesn't show anywhere nor does it work
Did you install it the same way the other mods are installed?
Sadly bonfire isn't on scarab so I downloaded from github
I'm aware
I'm asking if you installed it the same way as the mods that were installed from scarab were
like, when you look at installed mods
They are in a specific structure
Yeah I believe
let me check
@pliant lanternsomething that's been bugging me, I don't see a dll file
Then you didn't download the mod
can you send me the link or something?
yeah the github one, I downloaded it and it doesn't include a dll file
what am I supposed to download
OH
like I said here
thanks!
Hey chat! I wanted to take a doubt, will hollow knight silksong be released for the PS platform too?
this is #archived-modding-help , but to use implied knowledge, if HK is on the PS platform, i don't see why SS wouldn't be
Zal ik this is like, way too early to be asking this but do you think modding will be split in half, like one for ss and one for hk
Realistically, they'll probably share a space. I don't think it'd be helpful to split it up into two spaces, unless they have drastically different groups of players
I’m mostly worried that people will get confused between scarab and whatever we’re gonna use for modding for ss
Cause mixing pins is gonna make that place even more convoluted than it already is
And we all know that the people who come in here asking questions...aren’t exactly the most competent people to say the least
it's a good point and we've been brainstorming with staff behind the scenes, right now stuff it's not a high priority but it will get discussed between staff and modding staff
as of right now there's no plan to split them up but it hasn't really been discussed, so we'll see
Aight that’s fair, thanks for letting me know
I changed my laptop and used the save instead of other but I haven't changed the .json archive
Can be that
farewell #archived-modding-development
Depending the the .json archive you're referring to, that can either be save data from QoL, or ModdingSave data associated with a file, both of which can affect a file, yes
Users3.json
That's the QoL save thing. So as long as you didn't edit that one, it shouldn't actually affect anything.
But if there was a user3.modded.json, that would potentially affect things if you left it there.
Ohh, that’s kinda cool, did some spring cleaning on the server, always wanted now add threads to help and we’ll be all set
Can someone help i can't start the game its just Hollow knight and there is no options to do anything
Restart your computer. You either have a hung up game process or a steam process
Uninstall Charm Mod
Whats charm mod do
add some new charm
i legit just opened steam
i reset it and it still shows taht
can anyone link me a currently working enemy randomizer?
thx
