guys sorry for asking, i have a problem, when i change skin the skin remains the same but the game tells me that i changed skin, what can i do to fix that? i dont think there are problems with the location of the files
Did you click reload skin?
yeah, i also tried to click the button that says "fix skin (if there are some issue)" or something like that
I want to get back into hk modding! But I dunno what mods to do. (And I need genuine help modding anyways cause I forgot how to-) so anyone mind helping? Or if there's a tutorial I can just follow it'd be nice too
i am starting to think that the problem could be some issue in the files of the skin
Send a picture of where you have your skin installed with the path

plz help
i think its something in the files that are in the folder otherwhise idk
anyone know if theres a specific patch that you need to use in order to use skins? just wondering its my first time messing around with it
Get scarab from the pins
What are the most useful mods guys? I’m new and I didn’t know there was mods available
About the custom knight mod. I have the skin I want downloaded and it shows when selecting skins. But when I go into my game it shows up as the regular knight. Can anyone help?
You need to apply the skin from the pause menu, not the main menu
Yes
Hey guys, I want to do HKMP coop but things like enemies and doors are not being shared, it's as if we could just see each other but the progress was not being shared any clues?
Do you mind helping with how to get it to pop up? It will not show for me on the pause menu.
Wdym?
Pause > Options > Mods
HKMP doesn't sync those things
is there a mod that can?
Sorry for being a bother but I accidentally pressed fix/reload I think it was and how my knight, soul meter, masks, and spells are all white squares (not cube knight) Is there any way I can fix it?
Apply a different skin, then close the pause menu, then pause again and apply the skin that you want
Tysm 🙂
Does anyone know how to get hkmp to work?

Oh ok, thanks.
yall where can i install ultimatum radiance
You could scroll through scarab and find it in the u section most likely. It is sorted by alphabetical order.
wasnt there
https://github.com/AllisonFleischer/hollowknight-ultimatumradiance
Here’s the GitHub link if that will help, I don’t know if it will because I’m pretty new to hollow knight mods.
thx
Hungry Knight has already been ported to 1.5?
is there a mod that allows you to replay path of pain after you complete it once?
qol
mhm
k thanks
Give details then people will
We don't know what mods you have
Close Scarab and HK,
Right click on Scarab and select "Run as Administrator",
Uninstall one of your mods, then Install it again.
Then open the game again
Anyone know if I can unlock all lifeblood (the blue door; for p5) using GodSeeker+?
I just tried with GodSeeker's "add lifeblood" on and go into p5 but only have lifeblood on the entrance, not after each bench.
I'm pretty sure there is an option to, but idk what the option is tbh
do you mean this one? i tried it and as above it doesn't work
I would take that option to just mean that it adds lifeblood to you upon changing a scene
yep so this option doesn't work for my purpose. hence my original question
Looking through the ReadMe, ig there's not an option. Maybe HoG Extras has it, but it doesn't have a ReadMe online 
You'll just have to open it the normal way 
yeah i can invinc and burn through the time
Anyone know what the black stuff is?
Does modding work for switch now because I've heard it does
For some reason my custom knight does not work for the health bar any possible ways to fix it.
You need Enemy HP Bars
Not in any traditional sense. If you look into Switch modding communities, I've seen before that there's a way to convert a Customknight skin into a a file that can be modded into the game, but that's about it.

It even includes how to use Randomizer

is there anything i can do? i want to play with a friend.
Try fully rebooting your computer.
If that doesn't work, then you'll need to use a VPN or similar, such as https://1.1.1.1
i don't know how to delete Scarab off my pc and it cause fps lost on the game, can someone show how to delete it please ?
Like the mods?
no the software in itself
Verify game integrity through steam then delete it
what is game integrity ?
Verify on Steam:
Launch Steam.
From the Library section, right-click on hollow knight and select "Properties" from the menu.
Select the "LOCAL FILES" tab and click the "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES..." button.
Steam will verify the game files.
Verify on GOG Galaxy:
Launch GOG Galaxy
From the Library section, click on Hollow knight.
Click the "More" drop down.
Hover the mouse over "Manage Installation".
Click "Verify / Repair".
Confirm the request by clicking "VERIFY GAME" in the pop up.
GOG Galaxy will verify the game files.
thank you very much
how do i exactly install a randomizer mod?

alrighty thanks
hi guys how do i install the multiplayer hollow knight mod?
By clicking install
i figured it out so it's all good
The Hollow Knight boss is freezing in item randomizer, here are the mods I'm currently using:

All you have to do is click okay

Okay so because i know im going to somehow fuck up the easiest things
Is anyone willing to give me a step by step instructions on how to download mods
And like
Make them work
Sure!
Not good with mods but I'll try my best
Do you have the Steam version?
Yep
Alright gimme a bit to write

Most of the important things are located in the pins so just look there
Wait is it possible to make my own custom knight skin-
i seem to have come across a different problem, when i try to open scarab it just asks me to approve the application, and then quits it immediately.
Yes it is

Ill happily do it lmao, mostly because i wanna see how long i can survive without sleep but still
Wait do i need to unzip the skins or no-

Nvm! I found the post in pinned
Hello there! So before Silksong comes out I wanted to try a few mods and maybe get the last achievements. I'm trying the Mod Installer from Gradow. Well there are a few useful mods I once tried back then, but they don't seem to work now, because I can't even open the game. There are a few mods enabled but my issue is the DeBug mod right now, since I can't open the google-drive file. I would be glad if someone could help me out.
update to 1.5 and use scarab
Thanks, that really helped!

Hi do you know any possibilities to play multiplayer but I am invisible for the other one ? Because when I'm in multiplayer I can't see other's skins
You have to use HKMP's skin function, not customknight
mmmh I see
thanks
so there's something similar to customknight directly implemented in HKMP ?
it piggy backs off of custom knight
Yes the guide in the pin should detail how (at the bottom)
Wdym
oh shoot I checked pinned before asking but didn't check enough I guess sry
At least you checked 
All good 
and can you disable pseudos in HKMP ?
is there a mod that shows you all you need for 112% or just gives you 112% because im stuck at 111% and I dont know what I need
Does the debug menu rely on any other mod? I updated to 1.5 and I’m using scarab. But I can’t get it to open
press f1
It doesn’t work
fn+f1
Tried that too
Does it show up in the top left of the pause menu in the mods list??
Now that you mention it, non of the mods show up in the main menu or pause menu. I forgot that it was supposed to do that
Quick question: I only just found out about the Scarab mod loader(I havent paid attention to HK since last year). I still have MondInstaller installe,d do I have to uninstall everything from there first and delete it before putting Scarab in?
You should indeed
And don’t forget to update your game
(If steam didn’t do it automatically)
I think it should be, but I'll triple check later.
randomizer 4 in the newer scarab includes enemy randomizer, right?
no
Enemy Randomizer for 1.5 (Includes and requires ModCommon for 1.5):

Most likely, you disabled Satchel.
Hello guys, is there a mod to see bosses life?
Enemy hp bar
all right thank you sir
steam lol
Steam and Avast have a history with Avast blocking steam games. There's a good chance you'll have to add exceptions to games in the future too. If you google search avast blocking steam games, there are some suggestions but mostly it's just 'add game to exceptions list when it happens'

Does anyone know why I cant heal at all?
I installed a mod and I just cant heal anymore
Oh how I should have read the read me
I'm not sure if you're still asking a real question or not, but
- You can't heal in a normal sense with Hollow Point. You will need to read the ReadMe for it.
- If you opened a file with it installed, and have since uninstalled it, you'll need to follow the steps in the pinned message about it to fix it

I think it’s a corrupted file
But I’m just coming back to this problem like 7 months later
I tried out hollow point
And I guess it messed up my healings
When I try to heal by pressing e nothing happens
I uninstalled hollow point
Again, second bullet point
What is bosshealthbar mod called?
Enemyhpbar or something like that
Thanks
What do you want?
I'm sorry that when installing the mods in the mod istaller 2 I get an error

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a save file to practice fights and skips for an Any % speedrun. I tried following the instructions in setup videos for downloading the modding api's and debug mods (I copied the data folder and replaced the file and put the debug mod into the mod folder), but when i load the game up it doesn't have the indicators in the top right that the mods are present. Can anyone help me? (or direct me to a previous post that has a solution?)
Do u still get achievement when mods are on
Yea
For anything related to 1221, you typically want to check with the #speedrunning community. There's a link to the Speedrun server pinned in their channel.
Most likely you didn't set your second install correctly it sounds like, probably due to an issue with the app_id step.
Even after fixing that though, afaik the current version of 1221 Mapi and debug are only on that other server
Okay! Thank you! I'll do some digging in their server too to try and figure out what's happening.
is there a mod to skip the first part of nkg
Probably debug mod
There should be a "load enemy randomizer" button on the title screen, click it
is there a mod to replace sounds in the game
i wanna replace the hit sound with the vine boom
💀
you can probably just change the audio file yourself
Not easily
MemeSong let's you add sfx to certain actions.
Bro can u help me?
I clicked on the link github for scarab
I have to download all?
you download the one for your OS
Does anyone know if the zote mod installer (I have no idea what it's called) and the Scarab one won't fight with each other and MAYBE work together?
Because I wanna get the other one but I am unsure how the two will react with each other. Very possible chance they just crash my game as a whole
you should be getting the modinstaller for whatever patch your game is
awh man, yeah I just wanna play randomizer but for whatever reason the "start randomizer" button isn't there
thats why I was asking because I have all the needed mods and I have no idea how and why it disappeared
we'd need to know what patch youre on, what os, where you bought the game, what mods you have, screenshots of your title screen / screenshots of where the error is occurring
im trying to get custom knight to work but i just disabled a bunch of mods i had enabled the other day, my mod bar no longer shows up in my menu
does anyone know which mods you need to have enabled on scarab for custom knight to work
Ck and satchel
thank you
The Randomizer menu breaks if you aren't on a standard 16:9 resolution.
Go into the main menu, set your resolution to a normal one, then restart the game
ModLog
"ModLog.txt" can be found in the same folder as your save files (you can drag and drop the file into discord) :
Windows: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knightand hit "OK"ModLog.txtis in this folder.Note:
⊞is the Windows button, in betweenCtrlandAlton your keyboard
@split pike if you want, you can post your modlog, which might show what's wrong
thanks sorry i didnt even notice i was using the wrong channel lol
May I ask what's a nor al 16:9 resolution? Because I normally have it as all default and I have no idea what a "normal" one is considered
try this #archived-modding-help message
If you go into the settings, and change it to one of the defaults that looks closest to what it originally was, it'll probably be good enough.
where to find custom knight skins
Pins
^
got it thanks, any new skins?
The doc lists new skins at the bottom
Yes.
300 what?
Wait a skin 300mb??? What
Yeah how-
How many pngs tho?
999

it's that large guys
What is the name
Maybe it’s one of those old skins that modify the game’s files?
neko
What google drive was it on?
lol
Lol

The white palace one has ≈30-40 skins
98
Wo
Oh its that one
No
And uhmm. I'm on the most recent patch. Windows 8.1. The mods uh. "Benchwarp + fix, customknight, death counter, enemy hp bar, HKTool, Item changer, Menu changer, QoL, Randomizer 4, RandomizerCore, RecentItemsDisplay, Satchel, Sfcore, TrandoPlus, Vasi"
And even if I just put on randomizer necessities with random only it still doesn't work. And pictures of where the problem is occurring + video settings pictures
Delete benchwarp fix and you forgot where you bought the game lol
Ok yeah try that
But I don't really buy any games outside of steam unless if it's like. Minecraft for example. Where it's only buy able on the offical website. If it's available on steam I'm getting it on steam
Holy mother of holy it worked
Thank you
Woo yeah
Your welcome.
Benchwarp fix really needs a rename
Idk something like Benchwarp Fix (ONLY INSTALL IF NEEDED) or some similar shit
Maybe the description
Now imma prolly add the few other mods that I wanted to. Mainly like trandoplus and hope it doesn't break my god damn random again
wait I also have the binch
Well then uninstall it
why
It breaks things
Yeah reasonable though. I just got it because I was like "better to get the fix than sorry". Now I know NOT to
but its cute tho it didnt do anything
Benchwarpfix fixes a problem you can have with benchwarp, but breaks if used outside of it
Ya
How is it cute???
Hi
Morning
they don't get it
Just for that
if i wanna use a skin like hiveblood hatchling, does it go into the same folder as the knight skins or do i need to put it in a seperate one?
Now it isnt cute
You put it on the folder of the skin you want.
You basically move the png into the skin folder
Usually separate so you can switch back to default without reinstalling it
so any skins can go into that folder?
Not any, depends
alright, ty
Usual skin format:
CustomKnight
Skins
Default
png files
Other skin folders
png files
They meant if they went in like swap or any other folder
Ah
Oh yeah. Isn't there the uh, mod that like adds like for example in. Let's say you find shade soul before vengeful spirit. But the mod makes it into levels instead of just the items. So it goes 0, 1, 2.
I don’t remember a mod like that
you mean randomizer?
What i was going to say
i HAVE NO IDEA!
Ccan you stop doing that??
(I was thinking separate to randomizer)
😔
Same
there isn't one separate from rando
Welcome to the 🐌 resort

Ah I see, thanks for the clear up
One day I'll get to snail you mickely... one day...
I am gonna put on fall damage cause that just seems fun
Imagine you die from falling at the start of the game
GREATEST START EVER
what's dumping sprites mean
do you have the game from steam
Also which mods did you install
Training for p5. Question: any mod (or how to set up livesplit) to track which bosses I die to the most?
Getting images used in the game
I don’t know of any mod to do that, so live split is your best bet I guess?
yes
.
Can you screenshot the title screen of hollow knight
this part?
also im not using any betas
- Close HK,
- Right click Scarab, select "Run as Administrator"
- Uninstall one of your mods, then reinstall it
thanks
one more issue, my custom knight isnt showing all my skins (my new ones i just added recently)
Then they most likely weren't installed properly
It also won't show ones if you added them while the game is open
How can i fix these? Just removing them and adding back?
I added them before my mods stopped working
Make sure that they don't have extra folders or anything
All skins have the same structure
Alright I’ll check it out in a sec
Does the randomizer randomize on a per-save basis? Or is it a per-install basis? I have a save already going that I haven't finished with, but I was thinking of starting a randomized run with friends.
where can install the mod installer 2.0?
all the skins do not have any extra folders
save basis i believe, depends on the randomizer the one i used was save basis
Post a screenshot like this for a skin that isn't working
wait
Is hollow point known for soul glitches?
for some reason all the skins got removed hold on
im pretty sure i figured out my issue
Thanks!
one of my skins has a .7z file in it will that mess up anything?
Anything that is in an Archive file like that just won't work
is this good? i think i cleaned it up enough it had a lot of extra folders and the .7z file
It worked! Not sure if you remember me from last night but I couldn't heal. Using the blood orca method I fixed it! Thank you so much, this was the save file I beat p5 on!

hey uh, idk if i'm the only one who has this problem but playing hollow knight with randomiser (mods) it randomly teleports me, before it only was tp'ing me to my last checkpoint, but then it tp'd me to kp, then it kicked me to the main menu twice
if it's of help, ill send a couple of screenies of the mods i have installed, and a text that popped up before kicking me to the main menu
these are the mods i have installed
and this appeared for a fraction of a second before kicking me
if anyone could help, i'd be very grateful :D
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:

thank you! i'll install it and see tomorrow if it works
is everything updated to 1.5 now?
Yes? Pretty much everything has been on 1.5 for awhile
What's the link to the fireb0rn video?
I need to double check something and I don't think it's pinned

thank youu
im trying to mod my hollow knight on macos and ive scarab and the mods are there in my game i just dont know how to activate them
Video Tutorial on How to Mod Hollow Knight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z35cFvU0McQ
Includes how to install Scarab, as well as use Custom Knight, Enemy HP Bars, and Randomizer
my mods are enabled and when loading into the game they arent there and then when i click f1 nothing happens (on mac)?
hi, i have scarb downloaded, i have stem hollow knight, but it isnt wanting to work ingame? like, it doesnt show all the mods you have downloaded in teh top left of the starting menu when you open up the game. Help??
Screenshot your main menu
will do
Right Click the Scarab.exe,
Select "run as administrator",
Reinstall at least one of your mods
hi, i tried to start a multiworld rando with a friend of mine, but when we created the room it says "hash mismatch to the rest of the room" even after we used the same code and seed, can someone help us
hi, tryd it, didnt work! can you walk me through it or something?
One of you either has a different Connection setting, or have a bad/out-of-date mod.
Easiest fix is to both uninstall all Rando-related mods, then reinstall them and try again
Well, you're on 1432, which is a problem.
You need to be on the latest patch of the game (1578)
i changed over to 1578 and it still didnt work
After updating you need to install mods
i also tried to update scarab, didnt work since i have the latest verison
You may want to follow along with the video tutorial, and see if you skipped a step
Hi, I am trying to start a randomizer, yet for some reason I am always in steel soul mode when I start to it
hi, would there be any mods or ways i can see how many mask shards ive gotten? based on where im at and what i think ive gotten my display is a mask short. thanks for the help
Open your inventory
that doesnt help
is there a mod in scarab to view hitboxes/collision boxes like i see in some videos? debug mod has it for enemies but nothing else and it looks different
once you get 4 it just adds to the masks in health bar, im saying when i look at a list of all the findable shards, versus what i have in health, im missing one
oh, that reminds me of another question, is there a way to see what dreamers you've gotten in-game anywhere? it's shown in the hk overlay thing but i couldn't find any indication of it ingame
(in a randomizer context, not a normal playthrough)
Either look up mask shard locations or get vanilla map mod on to show you mask shard locations
Debug
i said i have a locations list
from what i know ive collected, versus how many my masks + display say i have, it looks like one hasnt registered
yeah debug has it for enemies but not walls and the knight etc
that i could find
You can open your inventory and put your “cursor” over the focus thing
oh nice
Debug has hit boxes for everything
In the binds menu
help please

Hey soup you should consider moving 2 to 1 and 1 to 2
NOT
ISMOIL
I mean, moving the first error to the seconds spot
Oh I see
I feel and the red triangle draws enough attention 1 is more common though
Yeah but
Is there a button or option to hide the mod list?
But what
Oh there it is, thanks. Just needed the list long enough to make sure the mods were functioning.
That means that you enabled that settings. It's one of the options in the Randomizer Settings.
i downloaded the mod installer
But when i click it something flashes in the middle of the screen then instantly closes
You have to use the one that matches the patch your game is on
if you were previously using an old installer, then you probably still have your game set to an old patch
I'm pretty sure this is covered in the pinned "How to Mod" video from fireb0rn
well
whats the most recent patch that the most recent mod installer is on
That's also an option 
But I'm not sure why you're upset at being asked to use the available resources to learn how to mod.
dude, i downloaded the most available mod installer, asked for help, and then didn't get any
You did though lmao
You've already discovered that you're using the wrong installer
Sounds like you're making good progress
im making literally none
The video walks you through the process, step-by-step
I'm honestly not sure how it can be made simpler
help me please
textures broken
done like everything, verifying file integrity, turning off my software, deleting then reinstalling the game, nothing works lmao
havent added mods though
someone redirected me to here
fixed it, just turn off and on my software
is xbox gamepass a legitimate copy of the game
Yes
sounds like fun
You may have accidentally bound the debug command for respawning an enemy to the same button you hit people with.
Either that or your playing GodSoul, as I think that's a thing that can happen in it.
Good morning everyone. I have a minor issue: I installed the godshome and whitepalace additional map mod, but the maps doesn’t appear when I look into the map. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? I’m playing on 1.4.3.2 with mod installer
A. Modding has primarily moved to latest patch (1578).
B. Additional Maps must be found, like the other maps. IIRC the WP is in Workshop, and the GH one is just next to one of the Benches
Ahhhhh okay thank you. I moved back to 1.4.3.2 when it updated to 1.5.XX and the installer hadn’t worked for me anymore, didn’t knew it has been solved since 😅 my bad sorry. I’ll switch back to current version when I’m back home and will try it out. Also I thought I don’t need to find the maps 🤦♂️ maybe just maybe I didn’t understand the readme correctly. Thx again 🙏
There's a pinned video on how to do modding on the latest patch
Thank you again 🙏
Hi! I clicked the green bottom on the giveaway server but now it appears as if I hadn't clicked on it. I don't know if it's an error or something. I don't want to click again because I take it that would be cheating. Could you guys please help me? Thanks!
That's not related to Modding, but also clicking it multiple times doesn't do anything so it's fine
Ok. My apologies. So who and where should I ask about this issue?
You can open up a modmail for that
sorry guys I'm new to modding the game and I'm trying to play with the hornet skin mod
And it doesn't seem to work
I put the files in the folder but it doesn't appear in the mod settings in game
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong
hello, i have a problem! with the grub skin when walking, I have the textures of an ordinary knight
You have to extract the archive so it’s a folder
The skin is incomplete so that is normal
^(
got everything down and still not work 
you need to extract the file
but for some reason... it doesnt works either 
Can anyone tell me how to change the pathway in the mod installer (i accidentally put the wrong pathway)
nevermind I fixed it
just had to reinstall the modInstaler
Hi so I just installed a grimm skin mod but now my custom keyboard binding has changed. Is that always the case?
I might be able to help, but can you specify a little bit more
me
Are you able to help
yeah sure
How do i downlaod mods outside the Scarab modloader
you basically download a mod that u want to install and put it on the mods folder (im not sure about the next part ->) then load scarab and if it is there, it worked (you can just load the game to see if it works too)
Ok thanks
does the enemy randomizer mod work on current patch? It's not on scarab, and I tried extracting it into my mods folder and it didn't work. Is there a way to get it to work?
enemy randomizer for 1.5 is in the pins
oh, ok! thanks
oh ok then it wasn't just me
Well I downloaded a custom HP bar skin , changed to it while in the save file..and still no change. Did I skip a step? It's in the Mods/EnemyHPBar/CustomHPBar folder next to the fodler labelled Default
Actuall;y I noticed there's another CustomHPBar folder in the main mod menu un top of the Enemy HP bar folder. Would deleting that fix it or break it more?
go to HK modding server
they have the solution over there
Oh, i think I see the problem, the custom HP bar skin I downloaded has all the default stuff in the main folder and then the actual custom skin in a seperate folder..for some reason
Yep that fixed it
Alguien que me ayude?
is hollow point broken? i have vasi and hollowpoint but whenever i shoot the gun, try to reload, and focus nothing happens.
I just downloaded a couple of mods (radiant menu, reandomizer and a skin mod) but now my spells won't activate even though i have them all unlocked (cehcked if it's the controller but the buttons work just fine when exiting menus)
need help i downloadid something called mod instaler but after that hollow knight will not open

oh i need to be using scarab that worked thanks
Do the keyboard buttons for the spells work?
hold on let me check
It doesn't work on brand new saves. You need to save and quit, in some cases fully restart the game, and then resume the save file again.
You'll also probably want to read the ReadMe for it, because then you would know that you can't Focus in the mod
nope, that doesn't work either
aight
Are you sure you have available spells then? And/or maybe you have more mods than what you listed?
i think i know the answer but can we mod the game pass pc version of hk?
yes
#archived-modding-help message
Check this message for a guide, Scarab is in the first pinned message
You mod it the same way (follow along with the video tutorial), but when you get to the part where you launch Scarab, you must right click it, and run as administrator
ok thanks!
Remove BenchwarpFix. Then go in hand and post a screenshot of your main menu
so i changed the version to 1.2.2.1 and then changed back to 1.5 and all of a sudden my mods stopped working

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hey I have a wobbly problem with my hollow knight skin I made does anyone know how to fix it?
Wdym by wobbly
is it on scarab?
For which you'll find a guide in the pins
im sorry i cant find the guide
.
The horns move when the knight moves
@fervent skiff thanks for the help
uh smol thing, on regards to this again, it kicked me again and also deleted my progress since my last bench :(
anyone knows why it happens?
What skin
oh it's that glitch
at the moment, not yet
The hollow knight skin.
yeah
i had been playing like for half an hour, kicked me :(
deleted all of that progress
That is probably just the skins fault not much you can do
what happen to scarab? I uninstalled the randomizer things but they loaded
Really? I can't fix the errors?
i already did that though, maybe not correctly but i did install the file
(and follow the instructions)
there isn't a fix for it atm
There is no errors it was just how the artist made the skin
The instructions are to post your modlog immediately if it happens. But also, you should make sure that the name of the mod is appearing in your mod list
There's has to be a way to change that though.
Remake the skin
That is the way
bet
it is in the mod folder, but you're right, it doesnt appear or im blind
its menu esc bughunt
Just manually delete the folders for the mods you don't want then
oh then it appears
so post your modlog ig
what is that :)?
im kinda new to mods so id ont have experience with them
I need to reinstall mod installer but i cannot find the file on the discord. Can anyone send me the file or the post with the file?

thnx
what do i do now, about the modlogs
If you've restarted your game since then though, it won't be the main modlog.
post it
i've closed the "game" but not the app, does that count?
all you can really do atm, which gives flibber an insight as to what might be the cause of the bug
the most recent one right
mhm
i download it and post it as a file yeah?
you don't need to download it, it's created automatically everytime your game opens
post it as a file, yes
yeah i just realised it ;_;
The most recent one is just called "modlog"
its this one
And it's in the main folder, not the "old" folder, just fyi
@twilit crescent
This might be the correct one though:
#archived-modding-help message
Just asking how do I remake the skin?
like i dont have a "modlog" file i think, unless its in another one, i just have old modlogs
unless im just dumb
did you post the one down here
you want to post this one
@twilit crescent (sorry for the double ping)
i cant find Hollow Knight.exe for nucleus but it worked with scarab
Assuming you've followed Geroyuni's guide, you may want to ask for help with it in the HKMP discord or the Nucleus discord. It's not something that many people are familiar with.
ok thanks
is there a mod that will display which areas still have unchecked spots in a rando?
Map mod S
I'm getting this singing from rooms and bosses in the hall. I think its a randomizer setting and not sure where to find it.
what mods do you have installe
Sorry, I uninstalled unused mods and that fixed it for me. thank you!!
good to know
i just adjusted my mods (i wanted to play vanilla with only CustomKnight on) and now the game crashes upon opening it, did I do something wrong with installing the most recent version of Scarab? or is this a general issue?

I want to use a overhaul but Im not sure how to replace the assets

soo i have the problem whenever i open the menu and close it that i fly and speed through walls etc.
i cant find the problem or how to undo the flying.
i only use these mods + a knigh skin and enemy randomizer

update again: now none of my mods are working and i don't know if i need to uninstall Scarab or ModInstaller or both to fix it or if its something else entirely
Sorry it wasn't a mod installer it was a debug menu
It told me to replace assembly cshasrp firstpass
That’s not a file people usually use for mods…. Where did you find this
Can you give me a link to your previous conversation or message? Also never use mod installer 1 or 2, just use scarab (or in the rare case, butterfly)
What version of the game are you trying to mod and why
@wheat orchid this one
but i fixed the crashing issue
Is the satchel mod on
v.1.5.68.11808, modding it to get to absrad I'm sorry
Where did you purchase the game
steam
Delete modinstaller
How long has it been since you updated the game?
I downloaded it last april
Can you screenshot hollow knight on steam?
That’s not the solution (but I do suggest that) and I already told them that
Whats the problem than?
I think this
yes, Satchel is on
Hmm
are there any other supporting mods that i should have?
Nah, that’s all CustomKnight needs
Are there any mod names in the top left corner of the title screen?
having seen the message in announcements about piracy, I was wondering because my copy of hk is literally just a .exe file on my computer and idk if that means it's likely to be pirated, I don't remember buying it but then I've never pirated anything to my knowledge either lol. is a .exe file still a legit copy?
no :(
Do you remember where you downloaded it from? Also an single exe seems very peculiar
Alright, there’s 2 things I can think of, first try uninstalling and reinstalling a mod on scarab
Or just install one
I think i might have bought it from humble bundle?
Alright
Not too sure what you want to accomplish, are you just trying to figure out if it’s pirated?
yeah, basically
Alright
did this, now the game won't open again
Where did you purchase the game and did you change what version of the game you have installed
I don't think there's any way to tell just from the fact it's a .exe alone, but idk much about this stuff anyway
it's shared through linked steam accounts, and i've tried switching between Open Beta and 1.4.3.2
I don’t know too much about humble bundle, but I’ve been told they come with steam keys for hollow knight, so if you can find a steam key, it’s probably not pirated
Use the None beta then do the install trick in scarab again
how do i enable vanilla game 💀
Are you trying to disable mods or the ModdingApi
alright, thanks!
Are mods on in the game?
i also disabled every mod but it still kinda wacky for me
like when im equiping charms they just like fly to the left of screen and dissapear
or its pretty laggy
especially when im using the bench
I remember this from somewhere in modding
I think this means the ModdingApi is definitely on, since it saves extra files in those moments
