So whenever I boot up the game with scarab working, the start menu looks like this and doesn't load further, any way to deal with this?
Uninstall charm mod
The one that adds extra charms?
still cant figure out what is wrong with hollow point, tried everything i could think of, still breaks
Reload the save
you think i havent tried that?
iv gotten to the point of deleting and reinstalling scarab
That won't help
it was the only option i had left, iv tried everything else
mods up to date w/ all dependencies
And did you reload the save?
And what broke?
Is there some kind of mod that changes the game's difficultly? Like bosses and enemies having more health and dealing double damage, instead of normal Radiance there's AbsRad.. Changes like that. I just want a bit of a challenge
Godsoul
guys sorry for asking, i have an old version of hollow knight modded, so i dont have the last 6 month updates, can someone tell me where i can find the updates or some recent video that is updated?
because i am having trouble reading the pinned message
Fireborn made a video about modding
Or use the first link

okkk thanks for the help im gonna check these link
That looks like it was designed to be a pain in the ass like AnyRad or something. Not actually challenging in a fun way. Any other mod?
Well you can always make some self imposed challenges
I'm considering making my own game mode honestly. I have no experience with mods but I might give it a shot
Like no nail upgrade (to force yourself to use spells) or the opposite (no spells/white spells only) or go for any% equipment only (aka shaman and vs) ext
Debug mod can help, since it can lower your nail damage/remove some spells
And you can use additional challenges or so
Does anyone know how to install mods on ps4 if so please tell me
You cant, you need a legal copy of the game in pc to mod
Silksong will release just in 9 millennia
How do I make my version 1.5 like it says to
If you havent messed with steam betas you should be already with that one
Oh
Ok cool
For a while my mods didn't work but I'll try again
I assumed that was the problem
Nvm mods still aren't working and now I have no idea what's wrong
I just uninstalled and reinstalled
It said the modding api was out of date but then it seemed to fix itself?
?i are you using scarab?

but my internet broke so i had to reset my pc
so does this have the multiplayer mod?
yes hkmp

Im not goth
hollow point
ok

why?
that doesnt make sense
🤔
the name of the mod don't make sense
it comes from gun point i assume so yes it does make sense
also i have the game on switch and i have 9 hours of game play
and the only boss i have beat is hornet
aka
i suck at hollow knight
ok gl

Hollow point is a bullet iirc

was it QoL i need to deinstall? i feel like i remember that being suggested to other people
it was not. hm
Uninstall Charm Mod
oh that worked, thanks
Hey,
so I got a problem with modded, I want to start speedrunning and to practice it a bit easier I want to have "DebugMod". So I went to Youtube and saw fireb0rn's Video. From a Link of the Discription I downloaded the latest/newest version of Scarab, then I created a folder in hollow_knight_Data (steamlibrary > steamapps > common > Hollow Knight > hollow_knight_Data) named "Scarab" I put the files from the windows.zip which I downloaded from the website of Scarab in the "Scarab" folder. Next I opened Scarab downloaded DebugMod and turned it on, then I tried to open Hollow Knight but it didn't worked. Any Ideas what I can do? Oh and i play on 1.2.2.1 if it matters
hollow point is the name of a type of ammo I believe
Is there any way to use mods on GFN? I assume not, seeing as you cannot download files. The only reason I ask, is because I was wondering if maybe it would work to upload a modded backup into the save file folder, so steam will maybe upload it to the cloud, then you could restore that modded backup on the GFN session. I dunno if it would work, but I was thinking I'd ask.
TL;DR
Is there any way to mod HK on Geforce Now
Would it work to upload a modded backup in the save folder to restore it.
wanting to play hollow knight online, do both of us need to have the same mods
A. There isn't a mod installer for 1221. Join the Speedrun server, and search the Resources channel there. Fire has a guide on modding that version, but iirc the links on it are outdated.
B. If you do end up Modding latest patch, Scarab shouldn't be in the Data folder. It should ideally be outside of your HK directory entirely.
Technically no, but it depends on what you're doing, and HKMP add on mods must match
Ight ty
Do you have a Link of the Speedrun discord server?
-
if you can access and alter the install location, then you technically can mod it. If you can't, then you can't.
-
you can edit a save and use that based on what you're saying, and that will work, but that would just be changing values like nail damage. You can't play something like Randomizer like that.
It's pinned in #speedrunning
Ok ty
I'm unsure if you can alter the install location. However, I read somewhere that the mods get put in a seperate folder in GFN, but I don't think I have any way of moving them. I'd have to check. Would that help at all?
"After some time of research I found that new Mods are saved in a directory different from the game folder in question and
this applies to any game.
new mods are installed on [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\322330]
Old mods are installed on [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\YOUR GAME NAME\mods]"
does any one know how to find my skin ID
Wdym
to play online, and have other players see my skin I need to have a skin id
Follow the guide an read what it says your id can be any # you want
That probably only applies to steam workshop stuff or sth.
If you cant modify the files yourself, then you can't mod it
Okay. Thanks. I'll keep looking for a way to mod it.
Probably won't find a way, lol.
hello! i came here cause reddit directed me here for the bonfire mod? is there a place i can download that or a better rpg-like mod for hollow knight?
how does divine work in the item randomizer? does she also give items for a random price?
400>greed check
~600>heart check
750>strength check
I believe
nice, i'm installing the mod rn. will be fun
any good radiance skin for custom knight? not the hatchling one
Radiance knight
what mod installer should i download? pls help i really don't know
You'll need to manually install the mod.
If you haven't modded at all, then I suggest watching Fireb0rn's Modding guide
get Scarab
but scarab doesn't load mods on my hollow knight ://
It's impossible to help with that little information
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 pushpin to see if it's a common problem.
okay
Im downloading mods on scarab and they didn't load into the game even if they in the mod folder
2 days ig
Windows 10
Steam
i can give ss or something
Make sure Scarab isn't in your Downloads folder, and then Right Click it and select Run as Administrator
Run this then install a mod https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/842427721065955348/ModInstaller_Reset.bat
the new one?
Yes
can someone help me download firemoth mod
That mod isn’t out
never thought ı would see someones emotions through text
xDDD
omg thank you so much i was trying to download it for a few weeks now and when i askt people they just wouldn't say anything
god do i feel like an idiot now

good night (or whatever it is for you its night for me rn)
does anyone know what mods are incompatible with moreCharms mod?
thank you! iv modded other games before but this is first time doing hollow knight
That mod isn’t working currently
so i should be good!
like at all?
Yeah
sad
Transcendence is another mod that adds charms (14)
yea, but i kind of don't like the charms it adds and i wanted to try the other mod
it got a new release but idk if it fixes it
Yes and what's the problem?
so i installed hollowPoint mod and seems it's broken
anyway to fix it?
i've looked at the github page of the mod but i haven't found anything useful there
hollow point does not work on fresh saves
Hollowpoint doesnt work on new saves
restart your game and then go back into this save file
Again??????
what's the name of the online hollow knight mod?
Why do you do this to me
Hkmp
thanks
rekt

reinstall vasi
ok
does anyone have any links to a grimm knight mod?
Grimm knight mod?
Ill assume you mean grimm knight skin
alr ty
here is my mod list if that's any help
trim that down. that's too many mods
hmmm
you also don't need benchwarpfix
wait one last thing i don't know how to make it work on my game i run hollow knight through steam
Check the pinned messages for more information - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/187137504393035776/823796522751623168/unknown.png
so i just wanted to ask because now i have the texture pack but how do i apply it as a zip folder
sorry if i am asking to many question i have never really done moding before ;-;
unzipping folders is standard. has nothing to do with mods.
zip file is like a shipping box. gotta take it out of the box to use it
oh so i take out the things inside the folder?
what collection of mods do you guys recommend for randomizer? i'm using scarab. at the moment i have randoplus (with the dependencies.) and additional maps
randomizer map s
got it. it just shows places on the map?
Yes
Right click the folder > extract
Or smth like that
wait i got 2 more questions
1 do i have to downpatch my game to use this skin you sent me?
No
should read the faq and guides in pins
oh ok wow thanks also 2 where do i add the skin to on steam for it to work?
i tried looking but i could not find anything really useful to my question so if anyone is still there do you know where i can add my skin to on steam for it to work?

oh thank you
is there a way to kill a baulder without fireball? i only have shriek. the map says i should be able to, but i have no idea how
Debug
The rando4 read me has a list of what can kill elder balders
not going to look it up. the thinking of finding it is great, but thought there was no way at all. i should trust the mod and modmakers
I downloaded some mods off scarab but they dont show up in the game?
As a general rule of thumb:
The Randomizer logic is thorough enough that if it says you can do something, you can; in some cases though, it won't say that you can do something that you can (this can include you using a key before you have 4, or you being able to access an area using a method that it wasn't accounting for yet)
- make sure Scarab isn't in your downloads
- right click Scarab, select "run as Administrator"
Is it okay if scarab is in my downloads as windows?
The folder can be banned "Windows" that doesn't matter.
But that folder needs to be run from a different folder.
And once you run it, you'll need to reinstall your mods

Or what look at the unity crash date

so wait the installer i use is the one at the top of the pinned
Yes
This should be pinned ngl
toDoList.push(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z35cFvU0McQ)
One of the to-dos coming up is to look over and update the pins for here and #modding-discussion , and to try to maybe convert the longer ones into being something linked to instead.

With how much HK Modding has grown, and how many people are getting into it (especially with revived SS hype), we can definitely try to restructure things to be as intuitive as possible.
#archived-modding-help message
this message is already covered on the common issues and this basically say use 1.4
#archived-modding-help message
does this happen anymore?
Not that I’ve heard of
These are messages to yeet, yeah
I have seen it once
#archived-modding-help message
this is very outdated
Essentially, a lot of pins are from 1432 modding
#archived-modding-help message
does this happen anymore? 2
Maybe this to be put in mod discussion ig
Just what i was going to say
Only if someone uses MI1 
#archived-modding-help message
This was also fixed bit ago but idk
Who’s gonna use MI1
Me
You can’t change your path on 2 afaik so I like 1 as much as it sucks
I feel some stuff in this message should be less hidden
It sucks that such important things are in pins bc people always forget to check them
Like the faq and crash
Make a bot that says ?pins/posts zals message every hour
I agree that the faq should be more vissible
That’s way too spammy dude
What we could do is to have a modding welcome channel with FAQs and whatnot
Like how the Celeste server does things
I was just about to post that wtf
I suppose you click on a reaction that lets you acces the other channels, right?
Not this much channels ofc but you see what I mean
No
Thing is the Celeste community is small enough that niche sub communities like speedrunnibg or modding are within the main server
Unlike hollowcord which has like 5 satellite servers
I mean i know people will just skip the channel
Wouldnt be the first time
Something similar happens
Yeah we could ask for that it might be a lot though
It’s still more noticeable than pins
We have a lot to say 
i brought up a landing page it's all in the talks
It’s about accessibility

Precisely

We should do a modding welcome channel but put it in the modding category which includes help discussion and the randomizer channel
I feel rando is modding over speedrunning
It is time to changes the categories for sure… the "speedrunning" category doesn’t have a reason to exist
Yeah
i mean, the channel can stay where it is rn to redirect folks to the speedrunning server
speaking of which, the modding server invite should really be more public rather than hidden in dwarf's bio
on the list
Delete all messages and have only the link to the SRC
Now that the race thing isn’t there it is more flagrant even though it was outdated since about a year when all the other speedrunning channel got deleted
i don't think they got deleted
Isn’t it on purpose ? To avoid the server being completely flooded ?
archived 
just hidden and you need the now redundant speedrunner role to access it
I wants in the server lol
i feel like people should at least be aware that such a server exists in the first place

yeah look how far that has gotten us
Going off topic here is accepted 
banning people at random is accepted
Since when we care about off topic on help channels
Mods coming in 😎
That is surely new
Could someone pass me some skins? Where do I download them?

case in point 
this is why we have these conversations
Thanks for proving the point we were trying to make
is custom knight used for just skins or also hp bars?
In a recent update to enemy ho bar that may or may not be on scarab (idk) that’s been added I think
player hp bars are changed in enemyhpbar too?
No
No, those ARE from ck
Yeah, look in the mods folder
That’s part of the HUD
Yeah part of a skin
Ohh I thought they said enemy hp bars being skinable
👍
the mod does have enemy hp bar skins but I don't want them, I thought these were the knight hud things

I'm trying to install Hollow Knight 1.5, and it just gives me an error saying "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: uriString" anyone know a fix for that?
Nah, steam dont see that
Checking before I do a run, would Transcendence and CharmMod clash with one another?
If you're talking about a public HKMP server, it's IP: Hkmp.org Port: 26590 (pvp)/26951 (co-op)
I'm using HKMP and when I start a host with the hamachi IP, it changes to "127.0.0.1" for no reason and when the other person wants to commit it gives an error. any ideas?
We were able to play without problems the first try, but after dinner we tried to repeat it and it doesn't work anymore
You should probably check since charmmod recently got an update that allows it to be playable. You’ll probably be able to tell if the title screen gets stuck, or if the top left mod list shows one of them with an error
understood
127.0.0.1 is local host, it means it's your server so you don't need to put your own ip in.
HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)
HKMP is a mod available for current-patch and 1432.
🔹Guide to installing and using: https://geroyuni.notion.site/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
How it works:
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.
Public Servers:
For general use (PVP enabled)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26950
For exclusively co-op (PVP disabled)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26951
I'm lucky I checked in, at first I thought there was something wrong with weavercore but after looking through the modlogs carefully I was missing something so now everything seems to be in order.
When trying to download a mod in scarab mod installer it says this message, an exception occured while installing or uninstalling said mod. Is there anyway to fix this?
Is the game open when doing this? If so, close it
Either way, close scarab, right click it, then click run as administrator to make sure it has the required permissions
Why when i use charm mod its stuck here and clicking anything doesnt fix it
Hello people a quick question how do I install a skin which is not in a zip format?

All skins need to look like this:
Like, the structure should be /Mods/Custom Knight/Skins/SKIN NAME/knight.png and so on
so, Transcendance and CharmMod would not clash, but since Transcendance uses ItemChanger, the CharmMod release on Scarab would not work. I am currently working on a better version of CharmMod, and u can put this .zip folder into ur mods folder and it should work perfectly. (also, it says Fyrenest bc im changing the name.)
sorry about this, you can use the .zip file above.
wow... I am messing up a lot of peoples games...
this is also me, you can get the updated version here... Soon it will be out on scarab, also, you can use it with randomizer and itemchanger now.
alright, so Transcendence + Fyrenest + Randomizer ought to all work together?
Much obliged for the information
Check the pins 
are all breakables done with particles or are they actually animated?
I recently tried installing a mod installer. It didn't work, because my game is cracked. But now, after uninstalling it, my game keeps crashing. How can I fix this?

Thank you for your help
You answered yourself

The mod that gives all bindings everywhere.
Oh lmao
Alright thank you
oh, congrats on modding staff
does anyone remember that mod that gave u a gun
can someone pls give me the link for downloading mod installer 2 scarab doesnt really work good for me and if the link is already pinned i cant find it or is the scarab and mod installer 2 both the same thing ?

Hey
Hey
Change your patch back to 1.5
And i use scarab
But i want to install mods
And i saw a tutorial that said it had to be on 1.4
And what is the date on this tutorial lol
Scarab is for 1.5
Oh
Didnt kniow
The tutorial used modinstaller
Sorry
I should pick none right?
yeah none
Okay ty
Also
The video was from august 2021 was he right or wrong?
Better said, was I or him wrong?
He was right at the time it came out
👍
You sure? I thought I remembered a video being made about downpatching and using a installer while scarab was out…
Mods for nohit are debug mod and benchwarp right?
Scarab came out in November I think 🤔
Benchwarp doesn’t contribute to not taking damage
But it’s still very useful
Dont understand im new in mods so i dont even know what does it do
I just follow the tutorial
😦
Sorry
It lets you warp your benches
That the first release?
Yeah
Yeah
What
use scarab now that the patch has changed
Im using it
reinstall the mods
Why are you so fast
stenographer hands
Get the last release or continue anyways?
latest
Okiu
Did you get the release hotspring posted in the image? That was meant towards me as the first release of scarab, you should always get the latest release
Can i delete these files?
No
What?
Okay
Lil' John up in here
I have an older version of scarab installed
Ah
What should i do before installing the new version?
delete the old one
Well if that’s an old version, do whatever. Scarab just requires those to run, they’re provided in every version

Uh oh
It gone
did you use it
F1
Ty
For me my message is first
@ everyone who’s do you see first 🤔
Do i have to reinstall all the skins i had?
No
I dont have them
Yes if you uninstalled CustomKnight
Nooo
Also skins go in Mods/CustomKnight/Skins now

When i go in they arent there
Refer to a message I already sent
.
Can i back them up from the recycle bin?
Okay
So then i have to search them one by one right?
Yes
I deleted it by sending scarab folder to it :/
Yeah
Ok and
But scarab uninstalled CustomKnight, not you
So i thought i just had to delete the file
Ohhh
Because it’s not a program you install
The entire program is what you downloaded from github
Right
Doesn’t add anything anywhere else other than settings to save which mods you installed and the path to hollow knight
Debug mod can do those
Yes
including the HKMP ones?
As I said, it can do both of those
Doesn’t matter as much for those
alrighty
Close your game and run scarab as an admin
Beat me 
I could tell
Ty ❤️
There isn't one but Fireb0rn was doing a skins showcase some time ago so I'd suggest checking that out.
how do i skip zote animationn
so I deleted the files but I still can't get in my save file
Where is modinstaller download, i can't find it in pinned?
The literal first link. Called scarab
I'm getting this error trying to install scarab. It uses 1.5, right?
it happens even when I navigate to my steam's install directory as well
when I do that, it says this:
Is it true that you dont get Steam achievments while playing with mods?
you do
when i played with modinstaller i was able to get speedrun 2 and steel soul with custom knight
Oh ok ty than. I thought i have to deactivate the Mod API in order to get my 112% Embrace the Void Ending achievment
But still another thing, i installed Custom Knight and i can interact with the Mod ingame. I also had a short period where i was able to use skins but after i closed and reopened the game, i wasnt able to use Skins anymore. I checked the Folder and de-/reactivated the Mod in the API but that hasnt fixed it
Like i have the overlay and if i go on Skin List, they are all listed there but if i want to equip them, nothing happens
Benchwarp Mod
You can either Warp to a bench or to a specific room
Np hope someone can help me too with my issue 😄
Elaborate
these screenshots
I've tried 1.5 and 1.4
neither work
I've tried reinstalling
I've tried uninstalling any trace of old mod installs
it used to work with modinstaller
1st go to 1.5
2nd in what way did this break your installation?
well at first I had to reinstall because the game wouldn't launch
it would say playing on steam
stop
and then nothing would pop up on my screen at all
the only indication was the green text when you play a steam game
im seeing right now if I can play vanilla
it launched so probably
What path exactly did you select
it auto selected at first, which then broke my game and I had to reinstall
now when it does this, I manually select my steamapps pathway
but it says invalid directory
Run this and then install a mod https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/842427721065955348/ModInstaller_Reset.bat
sometimes it'll let me choose to attempt to install mods but then it'll do this:
and I re-open scarab and its back to this
this happened after running the bat btw
Close your game and run scarab as an administrator
same thing
What is the exact path you are selecting
Hello, I needed a bit of help to do with CustomKnight and editing sprites to make your own skin?

It took be awhile but I got back so looking at this Fyrenest zip file, do I replace the charm mod with it or just add it in?
Like make them?
I mean I am making one currently 
Why you ask?
1 no
2 if you want to commission someone it will usually cost 100+ dollars
does anyone know how to get scarab to stop doing this?
did you close it and open it whilst hollow knight was on?
no
alright that's what I figured
is it 1.14.000
hm
i'll go double check
i know how to fix it but i dont know how to fix the wrong path bit
but im like 90% sure it is
it fixes it if you just open and close it but it says wrong path on yours so idk
I reinstalled the game multiple times and everything :(
did you try reinstall scarab?
windows
yeah no idea
;~;
maybe its because my steam library is in the x86 folder?
doesnt change anything i think
ok
btw does anyone know why whenever i hit something it duplicates
it started happening after i went to a beta of the game and switched back

does nothing
also it did that once
i closed it to restart the program
and its back to invalid path :(
harumphhmmehfmmm
i don't understand why its broken
me neither
it was working just fine
and then I tried switching to scarab
and my game decided to not be able to run at all
so I reinstalled
and now both mod installer and scarab don't think its a valid pathway
:L
i'll try to like
make a vm and see if it'll work
maybe my steam account is mod blocked i don't fuckin know
can someone help
my friend can't sit on benches or enter shops is there any way to fix this?
uh were can i actualy download the mod?

Take it from Ismoil “sometimes less work is better then more”
Hey, I have a little problem with my game.
Whenever I play with mods enabled, this message pops on the right side of the window. The game and mods are still working fine, but it's obscuring my screen and it can be a bit annoying at times. I don't remember messing with the mod files and all the mods installed are up to date, does anyone know what the problem is?
if you don't want that box, uninstall modconsole
Well I thought it was a necessary mod, but thanks!
Hey is anyone here good with tech?
Non mod related
Cause I have hollow knight on ps4 but I would like on pc without remote play can anyone help?
Thanks that's still helpful cause now I know it's impossible have a good day and thanks for the help Mickly
I install the mods but they don't go into the game, what do I do?
- Make sure game is closed
- Make sure the Scarab folder isn't in Downloads (desktop is common)
- Right click Scarab, and select "Run as Administrator"
Question so uh, how do you install mods that aren't on scarab?
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
Note though: You need to make sure the mod is actually for the patch you're on
Oh thank you
Mods from places like ModDB and Nexus aren't actually compatible
what do i do if the zerotier control panel isnt an option?
did not work
After you did that, did you reinstall the mod?
It minimizes to your system tray, which is the area next to the Clock on your toolbar
it's the mod of the installer itself, it doesn't go to the game
yeah theres no button to open control panel though
you right click it
Wot? Wdym "The mod of the installer itself"?
You need to join a network first
Hm. Still can't seem to install any radiance.
Did you get satchel as well
Wait I think I actually found out
I have and it shows this
Nevermind found the ip elsewhere
it worked, thank you very much
Very well then
I installed modcommon 1578, anyrad 1578, it still doesn't work :P
1.5 version (Requires Satchel): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610754780461006848/956039971381329970/Any1578.dll
I've installed all of it and all
Okay so, sorry but basically, I just turned on hollow knight and turns out I installed everything well, but scarab refused to show it
how do i fully like reset hollowknight
Verify game integrity
i did but the mods are still there
You sure
Go to 1.5
is that the public beta?
👍
Guys can i download mods on Hollow Knight even if i have Minisavestate downloaded?
Which modder has the enemy-randomizer?
wdym
One of the modders has an enemy-randomizer on the list
like
one of the mod things
scarab and whatever
well mi1 and 2 do but those are oudated so you just manually install it
?tag manual install
Beep boop

Idk what I'm going to change that to when Fyremoth comes out.
Silksong 🤷♀️ if there is the time
Silksong isn't a mod though 
People don’t know that though
Dwarf got early access to the silksong mod
Zaliants surprise
im trying to update/install mods and im getting the error message "An exception occured while installing or uninstalling Satchel."
if anyone can help that would be great
so i uninstalled the HKinstallersetting.json file to fix the modlink issue and it seemed to work but once i clicked yes when it asked if this was my hollow knight path it just gave me the exact same error saying "unable to fetch modlinks ___ timed out"
Why does it keep doing this
(Scarab)
Run scarab as an admin and close your game
okay ill try it thanks
Full restart your computer , if that doesn’t work then Use a vpn
👍
wait so delete it restart my pc then retry?
if that deosnt work just install the vpn and go from there?
No need to delete it but yeah
ah ok
question about modding, does modding hollow knight work the same if i buy it from GoG and not steam? gog has a sale and idk if id have to buy steam to get the mod availability
Mods will work on gog
is there any difference between them?
Not really
thanks
will mods work on pc game pass?
Yes
do i have to own it on game pass, or can i get it by just having game pass
.
Beat me again….
what does it mean by "an exception occurred when installing or uninstalling [mod]"?
i keep getting it
Close your game and run scarab as an admin
One question, even to use the mods, do I have to put a specific version of the game?
You can use the latest version with the Scarab one
is that I am using a skin and only the visual effects are seen, the character's does not apply that's why I asked

how do I fix my benchwarp mod? like reset its data
Hey, I was just installing the FuryMod using the Scarab installer and my anti-virus said it detected a trojan in the FuryMod.dll. Has anyone else encountered this? Can anyone confirm if this is legit or if it's just a false flag?

if i wanted to play custom parkour that other people have made, how would i do that? im new to modding
decorationmaster
more specifically? it says thats a mod for placing items, where would i download such maps etc.
impossible any% is one such map
thank you
how do i install them?
Download Decoration Master > run the game once > open Scarab > click "Open Mods" > "Decoration Master" > There should be some folder called "DecorationMasterData" or something, drag the map files in there
ty :)
Just a single shake
fuck i didn't mean that to be a ping
any reason why modinstaller2 is not pinned? the posts on nexus suggest that modinstaller is shady
bc it's outdated as hell
Scarab is for current patch
so is it safe tho
Yes
All the installers are safe
But you shouldn't use mod installer 2 because it's outdated

last ping. i drag in the .zip or i extract first?
It should just be the raw level files
So extract
Did anyone see this?
and then how do i play said maps
Just load into the game
So this mod has been verified safe recently and not been updated after that verification? Sorry but I just want to be certain.
It's made by a trusted member of the modding community and this is the first complaint of that mod specifically afaik
That said it is normal that your antivirus picks up on them, as they are not downloaded often and will of course mess with some of the game file, which the antivirus think as dangerous
i loaded in
Can you screenshot the installed files please
Well alright. Ty.
o
that would explain that. also is there a mod that makes everything quicker
not having to wait for dialogue, etc.

thank you both

after i download mods on hollow knight steam version my controller wont get recognised and it has a seperate controller connected
what to dooo
it overwrites my inputs so i can only use my keyboard
__Common fixes for controller issues __
🔹 Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
🔹 Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen
🔹 Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode
🔹 Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program

My friends and I are trying to set up multiplayer but whenever we try to connect to the host it times out what can we do?
We're all on PC and the host has already port forwarded but it's not working
I have a similar problem
I'm using zerotier to play multiplayer
but whenever I put in the ip and port it says failed to connect: connection timed out
For both people:
Make sure you've read the guide
https://geroyuni.notion.site/geroyuni/HKMP-Hollow-Knight-Multiplayer-21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
There's a Troubleshooting / FAQ section that covers pretty much all possible issues
Essentially, "Connection time out" means that the player's computers aren't directly communicating correctly. This can be from a wide number of things.
I dont see that page

how to get the items from Fyrenest mod?
Thanks
Ah no wonder why my version is 1.5.68
then go to steam and select no beta channel
ok

yo i just wanna know, if there is a mode in scarab || where theres bindings? similar to godseeker mode or smth, but can be played like normal hollow knight gameplay (this is confusing huhuhu) ||
yes

If you have the debug mod, press f1 and under the "binds" panel, find show hitboxes
im an idiot

Hi! I'm looking to download the gun mod, hollow point. I have downloaded scarab before, but don't know how to use the platform to add other mods. How do I get started?
so ive been hearing a lot of names is it scarab that want?
Randomizer isn't telling me what I pick up when I get an item, how do I fix this
Yep
Do you have all the dependencies

The randomizer works fine it just doesn't have the popup when you pick up something
Is that still gonna be a dependencies issue
Yeah I did all it said
Since a lot of people seem confused at what I'm trying to do I will clarify. I already have scarab. I am trying to download a mod called "Hollow Point" which modifies the game to give the hollow knight a gun.
I do not know how to download external mods to use. I am assuming that other mods use scarab as a platform to function, I do not know if this is true.
Scarab is a programm you use to install mods, so you just jave to run scarab and install the mod with it by clicking the "install" button
The issue is that the mod I want isn't already in Scarab. I'm trying to add a mod to the scarab install list (I think, I may be wrong on this)
