Then what are you looking for
Is tribe of battle bot on scarab
yes
It has been there 
I got a new computer and I am trying to reinstall the enemy randomizer but can't access the 1.4 mod installer. When I launch it, it creates a file called AU.exe and does nothing further. I tried looking for separate downloads but I couldn't find anything. Where can I fix this or find one that works?
Oyi can play enemyrando on 1.5
Does scarab have it now?

Um, does the health bar mod still have the memory leak?
wdym
Like, i remember that the health bar mod had a memory leak, that made the game impossible to play if you play for too long
Is it fixed?
It was a long time ago, so... yeah

How to fix Installer Errors
🔹 Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
🔹 Make sure that the installer has been Extracted from the .zip and that the new folder isn't in your Downloads folder.
🔹 Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".
And what does it look for you?
ima reinstall scarab brb
That won't help 
Well yes and whats the problem?
Then play the other version
how?
idk how to
Downpatch, use mi2
But why is this visual such a problem 
Depends on your system
im 64 bit
k
can I give myself relics with debug mod?
Think so
Couldn't find it so instead I installed ModConsole
Is it not in the items section?
I don’t remember perfectly it’s been a while since I’ve played hk lol
Transcendence's Lemm's Strength let's me be a bit OP and it's fun
(this is with Quick Slash, Unbreakable Strength, Pure Nail, and all the relics that are in the game)
(also Fury but I don't think that's taken into account in debug mod? idk)
How do I get the custom trial to work??
can we make a chair mod. The knight carries a chair. Very weird backstory, dont question it
You do know that the 1.5 version is a port of the 1432 version, right? They both work the same way

Yes, but iirc the sprite is an other one
does anyone recognise this modded white palace image?
entrance bench is right there
Do you know where you found the image
Then ask them?
but he says its the "white palace of mild inconvenience" made by fireb0rn and im 100% sure that completely not true
Feelings aren't always the truth 
i already did but he doesnt tell me ffs
no yeah but i didnt find ANY info on it, and thats hella sus
A no?
It exists?
Go to the pins and get the drive of custom maps
aight
Have any Artorias skins in progress? Please!
Like for the knight it’s self?
Yes
If both of them switched places in the fight against THK it would also be amazing, but I couldn't find anything about an Artorias skin searching the internet
There has been no one here
No afaik
And probably no one would be my guess
skins are hard
ik
The only Artotias skin I know is the one for THK
Who can agree with me that pink bow 2.0 is best kinght skin
I really like Grimm knight, personally.
Imagine being able to pick just one favorite skin
oh, oh, pale king by lime, also very very good!
I haven't used powercore, hive knight, or nekomata, but I really like them too.
Powercore is actually super good, like better than anticipated
I recolored some geo for it and 
Hive Knight & Nekomata are also very well done
I have like 2 dozen actually in my custom knight folder for use, (of 130+ total skins)
I do not include my own skins in my judgements XD
That said, I do usually use Mould because they're my baby.
My favorite skin is constantly changing
New favorite skin
hey hey anyone know where i can find the game speed mod or know who kdt is? I can't find a link to it anywhere and I don't see someone with that name in the server. Any help would be much appreciated
Trying to run the game at 150-200% speed just for reference of which mod
Use debug
I would but i've only beaten the game on switch and bought it for pc just to play at a faster speed and that disables achievements doesn't it?
That said I’m not sure it will help tbh
oh debug is a mod? I figured I could just flip a 0 to a 1 and enable it by default
I'll check it out
thanks!
You can always get a completed file that said
Does anyone have a good practice mod for absolute radiance in pantheon 5 because the attuned absolute radiance feels too easy like normal radiance and I feel like it is not helping me with the fight and asended is way too difficult
Attuned AbsRad is the one you fight in the pantheon so
Ok
If you practice on Ascended, then Attuned will feel easy peasy

Alternatively, since you want a mod: Practice with AnyRad
Thank you
is there any way to make custom knight skins override the white cloak added with lightbringer? I can reload the skin and it works fine but when i walk into another room it resets back to the default lightbringer one
You may be able to toggle that setting in the Global Settings file
I'm not sure about the 1.5 port, but the original dev had added the ability to toggle that shortly before 1.5 modding became common
Okok thanks, brand new to hollow knight modding and somehow didnt think ab a settings file lmao
What are some of the best mods like lightbringer
That depends on what you mean?
There's not a lot of mods "like Lightbringer"
Hollow Point similarly changes the general game mechanics
The Glimmering Realm feels kind of like a "NewGame+"
Actual lumafly,pog
With debug mod how do i not spawn lych?
Grimm*
Without doing the kill bosses thing
It somehow always spawns in when i spawn an item
Or sumthin
what?
Debug mod
It somehow always spawn grim when i spawn some random item
I dont want grimm to spawn
The tent
is there a mod that gives unlimited soul so i can try out skins?
debug
thanks
Yo I don't know how I missed this, but thank you! I'll investigate things to see what happened. Do you happen to have the Modlogs for when that happened?
Sadly no, I am deeply sorry, if it happens again I will save them.
All good no worries, and thanks again :D
how do you fight inferno king grimm once you set him up?
is lost lord planned to be ported into scarab?
Nkg in godhome
*hog
ive fought hog nkg and it didnt work
i also tried doing normal nkg through debug but that also didnt work
You have weavercore?
Where can I find the krew version of the ship? @minor spire
What are you talking about?
This.
Ah, it got cut.
Sure mate.
Hey so whenever I download a skin, the pack most of the time comes with an icon.png
I can't figure out what its used for, is it for another mod? Or just to show some cool art?
For 1.4
thanks
Does anyone know how to get the skin "the fool"?
Only a partial version is public, that's whats linked on the Skins List
The full version was from a challenge that's no longer available
What bad news, I hope you can get it again soon, thanks for letting me know.
You won't

"mother?"
aw thats cute
I included an icon.png in thunder knight even though 1.5 was already out because I was too proud of the art to not include it lol
Forget to send this since I already finish it
The day has finally come and the black sails should rise we will sail further to hunt and take more kingdoms.
This mod is badly designed with a mobile but as pirates we don’t look for the quality every time so take your hat and hunt for more information in README.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ig_MLkgaPQYBgn2DSlZ-b56A9IwUxrr-?usp=sha...
Is the video description supposed to link to the croissant skin?
(cool skin btw
)
I just noticed that I used the wrong link since I've a lot of other skins checking and learning from them. But thanks for letting me know I fixed it.
hello i wanted to ask if there is a mod that can unlock all patheons
or kill every boss to unlock the patheons
Theres godseeker mode to unlock all the bosses
(Not a mod, a mode ingame you unlock by doing p1 -3)
I think god seeker plus can not sure though
,
well, how did you get scarab in the first place?
ngl dont remember lol
ok, download the zip that matches your operating system, then extract the 4 files from within to your scarab folder
yeah there
Yes
wont the mods get deleted than that I have or no
No
wait yeah becuase the mods are in a diff folder
What would it take to get an artist to make me a penguin skin in hollow knight?
You just need to know sprite work it depends on how detailed you want to be
Fwiw a ck skin wil cost you at a bare minimum 100$
How does free sound?
yeah if you make it yourself
Hmmm maybe. If im not to busy playing CS:GO
Mhm
Why does most extracted sprites from games always have these weird things on them
Especially the hollow knight ones too (not to the this extent)
Failed vessel 
I'd charge even more for a penguin skin than usual. Not only would it be a complete redraw with anatomy that doesn't match the knight, that unmatching anatomy would require a custom waddle animation instead of mimicking the knights walk animation. I'd feel comfortable charging 500-600 for just the knight sheet alone.
random thing but would you guys like if i remake some parts of angel knight or should i continue making a skin im already working on
I think that you should do whatever sounds more enjoyable to you.
Personally, I'd love to see your newer work have progress. But also, if that would make you feel burned out, and you wanna work on some Angel Knight updates, then go for that instead.
What hapend to hallownest vocalized?
Progress
Release before ss
Just takes to get all the voices
ok

Redfrog going insane 
question is there a mod that replicates hornet's movement ? like grappling etc
No
The voices…. They keep telling me to work on pale court………
T yet

it do be being a good mod tho
Working on an expansion mod sounds like it could be fun. But alas I would only be able to aid with art, not actual coding.
Can someone make a mod that kills u when u collect geo?
Slys curse might be something that you'll like then
It's fun
If you count hkv as expansion
Except something fucks up 
anyone lnow when fyremoth mod might come out
Silksoon
oof
🐸
uh is there a mod that lets you skip the hollow knight and go straight to radiance
thank
Myla, my beloved, you are safe now-
Hollow Knight chair mod. Knight attacks with a chair, and can be upgraded with pale ore. Instead of benches, the knight just places the chair and sits on it
there is 2 percent chance the chair will break
That just seems more like a ck skin rather than a alone standing mod
Does the Inferno King Grimm mod not vibrate the controller when you hit him?
Controller vibration wasn't a thing when that mod was made, so probably not if it requires a event to be sent
I have this cool idea for a mod
But i can't devolp IT because i don't own hollow knight on PC
The idea is to make the game more brutal in how hard IT is
And how the game is played
What i wanna do is make a mod thats like mgrr but in hk
Till have stuff Like glory kills,cutscenes, give ghost a personality ect.
Sounds like it's time to buy a PC copy then
Think of IT Like the brtual doom ver of hollow knight
My PC is also kinda weak tho
sounds like maybe time to buy a new PC then
although HK doesn't really need that much to run well on current patch
Really
Money 
Yea 1.5 should be the version that works on almost everything (sad emu noises)
If someone has access to the internet they have access to make money 
Money != being able to buy a new pc
well yes, but it's a step closer than no money
There are many people who spend their money on college or so where a bit helps but also goes away for necessary stuff
Huh. I didn't realize controller vibration was added in later.
:grubnote:
This should be a reminder that this server really needs a note emote

Hello. My name is Pine. I am the original host of radiance.host. (use from:Pine in the search bar if you need proof) And I need to speak to a <@&328354344313421825> to explain the situation that has gone on with the website and what the future will be. Ideally @vagrant orbit if you are available.
Thank you ttacco for pointing this out to me because I had no idea what was going on here.
Oh hello!
oh thank goodness im gonna add you as a friend and you can post in the staff channels what is going on
once I explain it
im doing this because it was brought to my attention that dwarf brought this up yesterday
Ok i can help put your msg there, though im not the best one with old modding
Still most resources for code work fine
You said it! Most
I can help you out a bit with old modding if yo need it
Means like everything besides on hooks modhooks
RADIANCE.HOST is back
it turns out all .host domains are a scam. They let you rent them for a year for 99 cents but renewing them starts at 20 dollars and increases for every year you try to renew them. so I have switched to https://radiance.synthagen.net/
This is renewed until 2027 and I intend to keep it alive until I am dead. .net domains are renewed at a fixed cost of like 7 dollars a year
All paths are the same so just replace radiance.host with radiance.synthagen.net in your URLs and everything should work.
Embrace the light. If you’re seeking empowerment through the light and love of the Radiance, you have come to the right place. If you are simply interested in our faith then we hope this will serve as a useful resource.
dns records might take a moment to update I updated it on the cloudflare DNS but your system might have caching. technically it says allow up to 24 hours for records to propagate but usually it happens in 1 hour
modding docs should be there
I will remain in this discord for like a week if anyone has any questions or needs anything. then after that just add me as friend by my tag and tell me it's about my radiance site
please ping me tho I will not see it otherwise



Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing this with us. We greatly appreciate it!
this exists on my desktop. I no longer need this as a ref image but I keep it because it makes me laugh.
swap the radiance head with a guant upscaled hollow knight skull
Oh I replaced her with PK
Why?
The tentacles are a separate set of sprites so I needed a reference for where they grabbed relative to Radiance so I could draw PK to fill a similar space
Oh, yeah radi and her mini me. There can only be one XD
@rain lark how could the information on the site get updated?
I can make server accounts so you could winscp new files over
I put more in the modding discord
does anyone know why i cant puase the game and my geo doesnt show? it also doesnt say anything in top left
Could I get some help in loading custom sprites for enemies into the game?
I'm not sure how to get the resprites in the game, This is what they look like within the folder. Have I made an error within the pathing or is there something else I have to do?
Hey
Does anyone know where I can get a good skin with a green or mint colored cloak and a different skull?
Or just a good skin
they're named wrong. You need to name them using their hash names.

Feel free to use this skin after downloading it, but please don't share it after tomorrow. Hope you like it!

A skin made by members of TWP (mainly Poppy and Lichone), for the November's event last year. Onikiri is a sword that can kill ghosts, and also become a demon itself.

Yoo poppy 
hello
the pinned comment for colette's skin list is gone
can someone tell me how to go back to it?
It's in the pins. Scroll down.
thanks
Maybe update it to enders version?
What’s Enders version?
Its cool and all but i feel it could be done better, maybe ill do a "Jex's version"
Later
*Imsoil`s version

Honestly I think the other version would be better for most people even though it's not in numerical order, because it's in game order. But maybe I'm making assumptions based on weird ways my brain works.
I mean bc they're overlapped and you can't properly see teh charms 
I don't agree, but also if I was looking for one I'd probably be looking by row x column.
any difficult boss mods recommended, only one i did yet is a few months ago when i did absolute inferno king grimm
and links to their github or download if possible
that one might take a month or two, may as well get silksong release till then 
or maybe never end up beating it
Lmao

Oh
when i did modded stuff, it was on mod installer
like this
on a before patch
or else it wouldnt work
how would i use that one?
seperate download + other stuff needed?
so i won't use this?
Well for scarab you need to set that to none
Then use scarab instead (link is pinned in #archived-modding-help
Yeah, lmk if you have any issues in downloading stuff
is that avaible in scarab?
Yeah
thanks 
Although the way you apply skins is a little different but still not too hard
lets see how it will work out
once you go start using some cute or cool looking skins, and have already played the game with the normal look for countless hours, no going back..
True
mhm
and you would say absolute zote is better right?
i dont mind which i do, doubt i do both..

__Custom Knight __
🔹 Resources
- List of all skins: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E
- Video Tutorial on using CK:
https://youtu.be/z35cFvU0McQ?t=466
🔹 Common issues
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
- If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
🔹 Troubleshooting
Please post a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

(he's on 1432)
troubleshooting steps should still apply?
isn't the folder structure slightly different though
or am i thinking of mods in general
mods in general yes but Custom Knight is still basically the same. Extra folders will still break skins. Although I don't remember if it keeps them from showing in the sidebar
oh i see, thanks for letting me know
Is there a reason you are on 1.4?
Yeah this^
All the mods you have are on current patch and better/updated
the patch one is acting weird for me
so 1.4 is easier for me
The patch one?
mhm
Wdym mean by that
Ig with that you mean current patch
Inb4 
Sus
that does not have the skin images visible. What's inside the Cousin folder?
whats inb4
in before
alr this works thx
Is it mandatory that we both have the game purchased?
To make it work?
El HKMR
No
You have to download there skin
Make its id to what there id is for there skin
Then you where your skin
And you can see there skin
That’s the tutorial

Please explain a little better
You don't have a youtube video to help me
Yes, it is
Unless you are doing a split screen in one device, in that case you only need one copy of the game

spritepacker is less prone to breaking and can handle all the Spritesheets. CKC can only pack some.
We should probably have a note about that with the CKC pin. What sheets specifically it can pack.
Iirc it currently out only packs the standard Knight sheets.
Megan was saying recently that another dev might take over on it to start updating it a bit though 🤞
I'll probably keep using spritepacker regardless XD
I didn't really like CKC's set up and I'm stubborn and resistant to change.
That's fair.
Ckc's whole point is to improve the workflow, and was originally created to make skin-creating more accessible, so it would definitely be nice for it to be updated for those that do like it though
yeah, absolutely. shame the original creator doesn't respond about it.

Piracy is not something that is supported in pretty much any "main" community for a game, and that includes modding communities.
HK Modding is only supported on the official Steam version, the official GoG version, and the official Microsoft Store version.
Please refrain from discussing piracy or asking for assistance any further. If you continue farther action could be taken.
Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:

Guys, I just randomly thought of a mod and wanted to know if it exists.
Is there any mod where you start with a set amount of unrecoverable hp and the only way to gain more is through certain pickups? Kind of like a steel soul but with very limited hp points
What about a mod where u can have needle or a bow or a normal old nail
There should be a mod where getting hit by Zote uninstalls the game, for Zote is that mighty

Okay um, small question, is it possible to reduce/increase the threshold of how much charm's cost is in a "cursed notches" randomizer run?
Before you start yes, one of the settings pages has the range
This changes the overall threshold, charms individually still have a range of 0-6

Does anybody know if there is a nailmaster skin for the knight i think it would be a cool skin
The grimm skins are getting a bit boring after such along time using them
There are not any public afaik - there is a little Sheo skin but it's a challenge skin.
What is a Challenge skin
How do you make a custom trial
Some skin artists/groups have done "challenges" where they give a skin out if someone records themselves completing a specified goal.
Most, if not all, challenges have ended at this point. There were some artists on billibilli doing some a few months ago, but iirc they ended up cancelling them.
Whelp sadge
i am doing kinda similar thing
i am making a sans skin because someone beated p5ab in 3 days

one from it's there and another it's not kinda thing
If I was making a Sans skin, I'd keep his hands in his pockets any time he isnt actively using them, gaster blaster shade soul, bones ddive, side stepping dash (as if sans is taking advantage that the game is 2d and stepping around in 3d to dodge), having his eye glow during attacks
So there are some ideas for ya
So the modding help thing says the official windows store version, if I downloaded hollow knight through the Xbox app on my laptop, am I good?
Yeah youre good
As long as you got it legally
YESSS
Of course I got it legally, this is like, the best game ever
I can beat the rest of the pantheons in style!!!
Enjoy 
Hope you like mods

Why did you reply to this, that message is from over a year ago xP
probably because they made a mimikyu skin and wanted to let you know
i was searching for my dopamine by looking at people talking about mimikyu
I do that with Mould sometimes lol
my main motivation for making skins is the satisfaction and people's reactions
My skin I made for me, I didn't expect people to use or like it. But very happy they do.
There is a mimikyu skin! That’s cool
same for mimikyu
pain, i was starting to make a madeline from celeste skin but madelines is wayyyyyyyyyyy too short
black lines are knight height pixelated is madeline
I dont think this will work out 
idk how i didnt realize that before 
hmmm
maybe you can create an unpixelated version
or just stick with the pixelated one and dont mind the potential broken hitbox?
maybe this
im mostly making it for myself, and I dont usually do stuff like pantheons so janky hitboxes shouldnt matter all that often
does the knight have a hitbox for the horns i actually dont remember
no
oh damn
it goes slightly above its eyes
so i guess it wouldnt be too innacurate hitbox wise
so does madeline being too short matter that much?
things like shriek may look weird but otherwise
idk
i am making a madeline skin and it ends up like a pixel beow the hitbox so 
you two should work together
eh, im just personally making one for me and a friend
im not trying to make like an actually good skin, im not good enough at digital art to make stuff like a good looking soul meter lol
i sorta just use sprites from the game cause i suck at art lol
also finally starting to work on child of stardust again after a year of it being abandoned 

im doing mostly the same
niceee
I have some friendes that are good at digital art so maybe they can help me make a soul meter and stuff like that
also planning to make a proper skin showcase of my past skins i've made on my yt channel
dw the knight's hit box does not include most of the horns
damn i am slow
lol
i kinda wanna do like the cherry blossom tree at the start of farewell for the soul meter
I am stuck on what to make the slash 
what skin
i was gonna do like a shantae hairwhip
ooooh! Showcase showcase!
Hollow Knight skins 
its all i could think of for the slash, its kinda hard to do
otherwise idk, vengeful spirit could be a strawberry, masks could also be strawberries ig? monarch wings would be jumping on a cloud
I am gonna make vs a fireball
hotspring becoming a speedrunner
there is no vengeful spirit
only fireball
ohhhhhh like from core?
smart
also hiveblood masks can be golden berries and lifeblood could be moon berries

That took me much longer than it should of, I need to get used to art again.
It's been forever lol

oh yeah @jovial lion do you know what you are going to do for things such as like descending dark and shriek, thats what I was having trouble with
For d-dark I was think about making her become a zipper and slam into the ground
For shriek my only idea so far is either a crystal heart or having badalines move around in a circle like in the credits
Shiek could also have her become Badaline and have Tendrils come up
ooo
I also think imma do badeline for shades but now idk what ill do for grimmchild, cus it would be weird to have her for both
could do mr oshiro for grimmchild
Hm yes
oooooooooooo yeah
i was gonna do little laughing like head of granny for the womb cus i couldnt think of anything else
hey, can someone help me change the hearts/masks on the top leaft corner?
+😀
left*
Edit the hud sprite sheet in any art editing software like firealpaca and krita and draw
You draw then put it with a custom knight skin
Yeah by only editing/removing the masks in the sprite sheet
sickkkkkkkkkk I didnt know you could like edit rooms
Whatever you want 
heavy room editing in the big rooms can cause lag, so be careful how much you edit.
ah ok
This is my first skin so im just messing around, it was between this and niko from oneshot
Of?
Open it in an art service and draw
k
customknightcreator
I've put little environment changes in a few places in my skin. the level that's easy to overlook and probably not worth the effort but its fun and makes the skin feel more complete.
drag and drop sprite folder into customknightcreator, then open the sprite in an art service
replace the original sprites
where is customknightcreator
k
oh im using ckc, is spritepacker easier?
spritepacker is less buggy and can handle all the sprite sheets
CKC breaks when trying to pack anything but the basics
ah ok
oh
ill download spritepacker then
lemme find it too
its pinned
oh thx
?tag spritepacker
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
what is this?
Maybe check the image above yours
oh
Its completely unrelated tho
so where do I drag the Hud.png file
watch the tutorial
ok wait how do I put the sprite folder in spritepacker
rn just nothing is there and I dont see a way to put it in, the video doesnt show
you have to draw it first
watch the tutorial
then the tutorial will show it
prob
im in the drawing part
also
I did watch the whole tutorial lol
Sprite packer doesn't need the sprite folders imported. It will automatically find and load the ones in your save folder when you open the program
hm ok, cus for me its still just empty
did you open spritepacker before or after you put the sprite folders in the appropriate place?
I already made the canvas transparent
what
uhhh before
But idk how
Refresh spritepacker, Absol
Im doing the stuff in the tutorial
I have
And you're sure your sprite folders are in your save file location?
thats what Im not sure about, idk I just directly followed the tutorial and this is how I ended up
then*
imma just redo everything from the start one sec
around the 9 minute mark of the tutorial is the critical instructions
of where to place the sprites for spritepacker to find them
ye I was redoing from there
Sticky, you can just edit the sprite sheet directly, since you don't have the individual sprites
Edit it, save it when you're happy with it, you're done
yeah but
Spritepacker is more for people who intend to make a whole skin
Use the hud png from the default skin
No
don't save over the default file, save it as a new file in the skin folder you want the hud to be in.
do I browse local hud.png from steam?
I think ill just try and finish all the idle sprites today and continue tomorrow, i need to mf sleep
wha? No, in your customknight mod folder, there should be a 'default' folder. You can find the hud there
8 more sprites to go 
copy and paste
yeah. Skin making ain't easy.
If you're just replacing, copy and paste the whole sheet into the same file as the other sheet, and erase the sprites you don't want. Leave the ones you do. They should be in the correct spot as long as they lined up originally.
yes
k
new layer for each thing, and rather than erasing id just say make the original low opacity
then draw over it
wait
They're just trying to replace the masks of one skin with the default, Absol
how do I add layers in paint 3D
not sure I use Krita
painnn, celeste graphics dump is useless for me cus the images are way too small to matter
expand the images you say?
I suppose expand/transform
Yeah you might wanna remove the white 
Wdym?
It is still gonna work
lemme try it
Just make them the same size before merging them
What does dumping sprites mean
just kinda yoinking all the sprites from the files
Is that bad
why would it be bad?
no?
K
it does nothing to the game
you basically just copy every single sprite to another location
like if I dumped all the sprites in lets say oneshot, then I would just get a bunch of sprite images
ok so Im just gonna test this ingame, can I just copy my edited sprites folder into customknight or do I need to do something in spritepacker
As long as they have the correct sheet names, they should work. I think spritepacker is more for when you're editing individual sprites instead of editing the sheets directly.
ye thats what im doing
You have to pack the sprites into a sheet for custom knight to see it, yes.
With ckc since idle appears multiple times in animation it prefers the default one so you have to hit load all duplicate animation groups then hit replace all
Oh their using sprite packet I should read
sprite packer doesn't let you pack unless duplicates match.
But the same does apply, you do need to make sure you're clicked on your re-drawn sprite, not the default, when you hit replace.
millions of geo were allocated for this
No
Um, someone knows if there's an artist i can commission to do a hk skin?
Failed vessel
, hkbit
i also accept minor skin commissions thats not a full knight change
is there a mod suggestion channel
in the modding server there is
where can i get mods like skin mods n stuff

ah, sorry
Why tf do you apologise 
do ou guys think absrad is harder than corrputed kin
EDIT January 2026: if you have troube installing this skin/if it doesn't work please make a l#1057825333841240104 post. Don't ping me 3 years in the future 
Recently made public, Little Grimm by yukawa: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Qf4y1P7bZ
hype. I love that skin.
I'm curious, is there a mod that lets you access charms like carefree melody in godseeker mode?
don't have any plans to use such a mod but I'm just curious as to whether it exists
Debug mod lets you change the grimmchild and kingsoul levels, but for grimmchild other stuff might need to be changed in the save file
hmm, alright
sorry thought I was in art discussion
modding is an art
Would it be possible to make a mod that lets you have grimmchild/kingsoul and carefree melody/void heart at the same time?
how do i edit the custom pnatheon mod?
damn, that's 10x better than both the GrimmKnight skins
I think I'm going to replace them for this one
thanks for letting us know :D
so i beat p5 and radiant GPZ with enemyhealthbars on
is my run considered illegitemate?
Noooo sans 😢
Thats something YOU decide
If you wanna submit to some leaderboard yes otherwise what Ismoil said
