[sick bobcat]

[ionic sparrow]

Me every time I write a mod and tc spaghetti code appears

[sick bobcat]

Every mod skin: leaving a head on ground
My skin: SPHERE

[dry snow]

i downloaded the additional maps mod but i cant for the life of me find the white palace map

where is it?

[eager holly]

next to the atrium bench
also check that SFCore is installed, which AMaps needs

[dry snow]

i have SFCore installed

but i still cant find the map

its not next to the atrium bench?

[eager holly]

Uhh, it's possible that another mod you have is breaking things
Send a ModLog

[dry snow]

[eager holly]

[eager holly]

#archived-modding-help message

[dry snow]

[eager holly]

I've been around a while, I think

[dry snow]

[dry snow]

[eager holly]

[dry snow]

[dry snow]

[ionic sparrow]

[dry snow]

[dry snow]

i thought i need to be on 1.4 to mod @-@

[ionic sparrow]

modding has been long on 1.5 for about a year iirc

[dry snow]

[lucid thicket]

get scarab

[dry snow]

should i delete modinstaller then or can they both work at once

[lucid thicket]

You don't need to delete it afaik, but it will become useless unless you change back to 1.4, and most mods are on 1.5 now

[ionic sparrow]

pale champion

[red plinth]

little Radi also has ball
woo ball!

[ionic sparrow]

[vagrant orbit]

Aaaah! Cute!

[red plinth]

Link posted the same exact reaction when I posted this months ago in the modding discord XD

[ionic sparrow]

what else would you supposed to react with on such a masterwork?

[fierce flame]

[dry snow]

idk if this is the right channel but i cant find the sprite of the transparent circle thingie that spins behind radiance? anyone knows where to find it?

[lone plinth]

I think it might be this? Idk for sure tho

[dry snow]

wow thanks!! yeah thats it i think

[timber vessel]

Help! is there a way to install skins without modloader? I have a bad pc and I play hk on phone. (Hk mobile port)

[lunar root]

No + phone ports cant be sold meaning that the game is pirated so you wouldnt get help even if there was a way

[timber vessel]

Oh.

Just my game with mods loads too long

On my pc

[covert estuary]

What is too long? Because if you have quite a few mods it can take a while

[timber vessel]

I like wait 20 mins for the game to load. I have some multiplayer mods and a skin mod

And qol

And some others

It preinstalled

[fierce flame]

[timber vessel]

When I installed hknp

Hkmp

[lunar root]

I dont think it can handle hkmo

Have you tried just custom knight

[timber vessel]

No

[lunar root]

Did you also make sure of closing all non essential programs in your pc while playing?

[timber vessel]

Yes. Its just the game

Also done some optimizations to the os and put the game in gaming mode

But the problem is when I play hkmp with my friends it freezes and timeouts me

[lunar root]

Well this

[timber vessel]

I will try tomorrow to play without hkmp

Goodnight

[timber vessel]

The performance is better

But it still freezes

[jovial lion]

<@&283547423706447872>

[lucid thicket]

wtf was that

[dry snow]

Nothing you should focus on.

[ionic sparrow]

20$ bugs + another 30$ for updating hkmp pouch if nobody else does

[main talon]

anyone know if there's an official number for how many people have defeated Any Radiance?

[jovial lion]

Like ~70-80

[slow relic]

I’m hoping to join that group. Anyone have advice? I run an offensive build with quickslash, steady body, spell twister and stalwart shell

Ive made it about 1/3 through the climb once

[minor tinsel]

baldur shell is borderline necessary

there’s also a climb strategy called flicker climb that makes it far more consistent but you’d have to ask someone else what that is

[hot gulch]

you got any closer to finishing the fool skin?

[nimble meadow]

o.o
Wow it’s been a while since I posted that.

Afraid not, lost the motivation so I left it here as a concept in case someone better wanted to do it

[hot gulch]

Damn it was a really cool skin lol

[red plinth]

just clicked it to go see. Was a very neat concept. Pale lurker themed?

[nimble meadow]

Thank you Jdqa, and yes it was a Lurker/Fool based design

as if the Knight is given a set of custom Fool armour upon entering the Colosseum

[hot gulch]

Thats a neat consept That would have taken wayy more effort than the skin I made lol

[red plinth]

skins are very tough to see to completion.

[hot gulch]

yea thats why I just did a few edits to change the horn size and the spells

[red plinth]

What skin did you do, if you don't mind me asking?

[hot gulch]

eh I didnt post it dont know why I just could not figure it out in like 5 seconds so I just kept it for myself

cuz I that type of lazy

[red plinth]

aww, ok.
I always like looking at skins that change the shape of the knight. Even if its just the horns.

[hot gulch]

I mean I could probably link you a few custom knights from colettes google doc that have it changed

[red plinth]

I'm familiar with colette's doc.

I've got little grimm, the pale king, and little radiance all running around in my computer XD

[hot gulch]

do you have green path? its pretty swaggin

[red plinth]

yeah, I've got that one downloaded too

[hot gulch]

damn, how far do you have to scroll down to get to them lol I have like 60-70 skins

[red plinth]

I don't have them all in my mods folder, I usually only keep the ones I'm actively making, or actively using, in my mods folder

[hot gulch]

i would not be caught dead making smart choices for me pc so yeah I dont do that I just have them all in

[red plinth]

lol.
Yeah right now, my skin menu is just 4 long. Default, Mould, Little Radiance, and one I'm doing on commission.

[hot gulch]

oo you making one right now? I made mine in like ages ago I kinda forgor how to make skins

[fierce flame]

i like using skins that are unfinished

[red plinth]

I'm making two right now. Little Radiance and the commission.
Radi is getting there. Knight sheet is nearly done, just a few more animations left.

[hot storm]

i tried making a skin pack in MS paint

got about half way through

knight.png is terrifying

[red plinth]

Yeah, been chipping away at radi skin for months and months. Even when I finish knight.png, I still have all the cutscenes left to do too 🙃

[hot storm]

the good thing about making a skin in MS paint is that it does not need to be good haha

[zealous spade]

I was considering making like. a foreground object skin in MS pain

[fierce flame]

MS pain

[zealous spade]

I've used it too much to call it anything else

[red plinth]

an accurate name if you're gonna use it for making skins

[fierce flame]

if we are talking about pain related to skins

baidu

[zealous spade]

[i want a] bai[n]du[aid]

[fierce flame]

i keep finding more skins i have to favourite until i can find a good baidu downloader that doesn’t take settings up multiple other softwares to use

[dense wigeon]

Most of the publicly available skins that are baidu downloads are already on the List (with non-baidu DL links) but if you've found some that are not you can post them here.

[fierce flame]

oh

can you help me then

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1bN4y1P7LL/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ye4y1B7gR/

just these two

[dense wigeon]

Nice finds, looks like those 2 just came out this month. Unfortunately I got errors on both of them from the downloaders I normally use & I don't know if it's the password(s)or the sites having a problem 😕

[dense wigeon]

OK, I found a workaround (don't know if I'll be able to continue to use it since the free code only seems to work once per email and I'm not paying money to download stuff but maybe it resets after some time?) however the Butterfly Dream link is unfortunately only the HPBar

Also came across this which the title is translating as "Mid-Autumn Festival painting flat cake" but seems to be an unfinished/WIP Madeline skin (looks like only the walking/jumping animation is done) https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1xt4y1L7cG/

[fierce flame]

i have that one installed

it has the crouch

[dense wigeon]

I hadn't seen it before, although I know there's another WIP Madeline skin I've seen in the modding server

If you have any others that aren't on the list, feel free to share here.

[fierce flame]

there’s also a unfinished anya (spy family) from the same author of the grub skin

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1sU4y1X7BR/

i have this one already bit here’s the link anyways

[dense wigeon]

I meant the actual file too, since you already have it,, since downloading from baidu is a pain

[fierce flame]

ah sorry

that should be all of it

oh wait the weavers in it is something i added to it after

[pearl gate]

hey i have two quetsions regarding the randomizer. First is it supposed to happen that when you leave jiji that you get into the room of steel jiji and then have to leave again to actualy leave? secondly i already asked this a couple months ago, but are there any plans regarding multiplayer for rando? so like either multiworld where just items could be send or like a actual version of being able to see the other player?

[dense wigeon]

Yes, that's intended

Itemsync, Multiworld & Multiplayer all already exist

(Itemsync = share items, Multiworld = items across multiple worlds, Multiplayer = see other players)

And there's Archipelago support as well if you're familiar with that

[pearl gate]

can i find the mods for it on the scarab launcher which i use the randomizer 4 on?

[dense wigeon]

Yes

[pearl gate]

Ty

[dense wigeon]

Multiplayer is listed as HKMP

[pearl gate]

And the multiworld? as multiworld i guesse?

[dense wigeon]

yes

[pearl gate]

Ty

[dense wigeon]

Actually I thought from the last announcement Multiworld had been pushed to Scarab but it looks like it hasn't been yet - but it is available in the rando announcements channel in the speedrunning discord

[pearl gate]

Ah gotta look trough that then

[swift chasm]

-me

when my mods don'T work

i'm fine now

i fixed the things somehow

i was having issues with my things working. No error messages, nothing

it was a dumb connection issue, that even myself can't explain

[timber vessel]

Hello. I have a question. Are there mods that optimize the game? Or make the game load faster? I don't have that much hardware to play the game without freezes and long loadings.

?tag steamdeck

[granite agate]

Mods/Controller not working correctly on Steam Deck
Issue: Steam Deck installs the Windows version of HK, then runs it in proton. This would be fine except that you install Linux Scarab, which replaces the Assembly-Csharp with the Linux version, and then it doesn't like to work correctly on "Windows" anymore

Solution: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)

This will reinstall the Linux version of the game, and move some files around, so you'll need to select "Change Paths" in Scarab and change it to the new install path, then reinstall your mods. After this, everything should be working.

[swift lichen]

i just downloaded like 7 custom skins and i love it

[dry snow]

yes but you'd be better off doing that in the modding server (check pins)

[orchid moon]

thank you 🙂

I think it's on 1.4 not necessarily on mod installer

Cuz that's how pantheon of nightmares was created

Question

How many people

Have beaten Any Radiance?

like

ten

yeah?
(ping me with reply pls)

[minor tinsel]

a lot more than 10

there was a list but I’m pretty sure it’s past the 50s by now

[warped turtle]

oh, really?

wow

[minor tinsel]

ye

people came up with extremely consistent strategies for it

[warped turtle]

oh shit, really??

[minor tinsel]

that basically guarantees climb I think

[warped turtle]

I need to know these bc I'm trying to do that myself

[warped turtle]

ah but for me it's just getting to the climb that's the issue lol

skill issue i know

[minor tinsel]

ah
I think there are platform strats too

[warped turtle]

even the

platform phase

i have yet to get to

[minor tinsel]

I’m not sure, I’d ask spoonsei for advice

they hang out in #hk-discussion occasionally

[warped turtle]

gotcha, ty

[minor tinsel]

hunt and throwout are also anyrad victors and are currently active lol

[warped turtle]

?tag pirate

[granite agate]

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. We also will not help you if you have pirated the game. If you continue, further action could be taken.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.

[sleek elm]

hi, so um, I kinda translated Hollow Knight into Latin, all dialogs and names only journal descriptions missing, and since I'm close to finished, I began wondering what is the best way to make my tl public after that.
team cherry seems to be rather accepting of mods, but it never hurts to ask.

I also don't know much about hk modding in general, I did it with languagesupport while waiting for silksong lol.

[ionic sparrow]

That's sounds cool but also horrible , upload to t to a gdrive or make it a standalone mod with copied code

[sleek elm]

I'll upload it to github when I'm done, I'm thinking more about what to do with the github then.

so people can find it and play with it if they want.

[olive panther]

when i try to launch hk with installed mods it comes up with an error (you can @me :D)

[weak plinth]

Where'd you buy the game

[olive panther]

what patch should i use for Scarab?

[lunar root]

The beta "none"

[olive panther]

ok thanks

[woven abyss]

Hi, I'm playing with the transcendence mod and I was wondering how Millibelle's Blessing works.
I know it gives the bearer an amount of geo proportional to their current amount every 5 seconds.
But what is the proportion? Does it stop being proportional after a certain amount of geo? (Like 1000000 geo for example)

[maiden cove]

Are you able to safely change item names

[jovial lion]

As opposed to non safely yes

[hexed nimbus]

?
in what context?

[ocean eagle]

how i install this?

I'm thrown here and I don't know what to do

[lone plinth]

Try clicking the download button at the top right of the screen

You know the arrow pointing downwards yea that one-

[slow relic]

This sums up the any radiance experience

I call this the impossible attack for obvious reasons

[ocean scroll]

I got this mod that makes all charms 1 notch and I rly like it. It's nice, especially for charms with bullshit costs but I don't feel grossly OP

[fierce flame]

friendly fire activated

[vagrant orbit]

I'm pretty sure Radiance and PK are not on the same team

[wooden gull]

Anybody have the Reconciliation Show skin file?

[wooden gull]

Where did you get the skin from?

[lucid thicket]

Check Colette's list of skins in the pins

[lucid thicket]

Kit is the creator of this skin

[fierce flame]

self-made

wait i’ll snail myself

[modest coral]

so ive been watching videos of the hollow point mod being used (relyea, fireborn) and there the gun seems OP, but when i use it seems to be nerfed in every way, is this because of an older version of the mod?

[ionic sparrow]

Likely and charms

[modest coral]

is there any way i could find the older version somewhere? and what charms do i use to make it op

[ionic sparrow]

How's yours not op in the first place

[modest coral]

idk the firerate is like too slow and when i make it faster it uses too much soul.

[remote barn]

Any way to make a custom bossbattle myself?

[ionic sparrow]

Yes

[remote barn]

How?

[dense wigeon]

Depending on exactly what you mean you either use one of the existing mods, like Custom Trials, or if tou mean like an entirely new fight you make your own mod.

[remote barn]

I mean like tribe of battle and any radiance

[dense wigeon]

Something like that you'd need to know or learn how to mod

[ionic sparrow]

Learn c# + unitys api => hk modding => make boss

[remote barn]

Ok im learning python now and c# is next on my list

[ionic sparrow]

C# is pretty different from python so it won't really do that much except you don't have to understand the absolute basics, but gl with that

[remote barn]

Is c# hard?

[ionic sparrow]

Not really but it takes some time to learn and is more complex and has some pretty complex topics but you rarely need them anyway

[remote barn]

Any tutorials on hk mod developing so i can get started?

[ionic sparrow]

https://prashantmohta.github.io/ModdingDocs/ and also joj d the hk modding server (in pins) and get the dev-channels role from #879298567397851159

[tawny plinth]

what's the best mod?

[vagrant orbit]

Pail Curt

[fierce flame]

definitely that one

[gray vessel]

Is there a mod that allows you to have both carefree melody and grimmchild at the same time?

[lone plinth]

You can use Debug Mod and switch between them at will

[gray vessel]

I know, but at the same time, is it possible?

[vagrant orbit]

Not really. They are literally the same charm, but in different states

Someone was making a mod for it, but I don't know if they ever finished it

[lunar root]

i had a bug where i did get both of them iirc

[vagrant orbit]

The vanilla game definitely cannot give you both

[lunar root]

yeah the bug wasnt vanilla

[vagrant orbit]

And I don't see how the modded game could either, unless it was created specifically for that.

[lunar root]

dunno it was weird

[vagrant orbit]

Because again, they aren't separate. They are one charm, with the effects chosen by the level of the charm

[tepid thorn]

What are some fun mods for a new playthrough? Not really looking for difficulty spikes but more so new charms/overhauls etc.

[vagrant orbit]

Pail Curt is a pretty good one, imo

It's adds a lot of content, including custom visuals

[tepid thorn]

Interesting I’ll have to take a look

[lunar root]

pail curt is a keepers yes

[tepid thorn]

What exactly does it add?

[lunar root]

it tells you everything it adds when you download it

so just get it and enter

[tepid thorn]

Alright

[minor tinsel]

definitely get benchwarp and qol, I can't live without those anymore they're just nice to have
transcendence adds new charms
loremaster adds fun powers to lore tablets and the like
fyrenest also adds new charms
lost artifacts adds a new type of charm-like item that you equip to your nail

the last one is the best I'm definitely not biased cause I made it

also if you want something completely new, try out the glimmering realm
though it is decently hard to beat

[tepid thorn]

Lots to check out then lol, I’ll have to look at these and the one they were mentioning before

[minor tinsel]

yeah pail curt is always a go-to just cause it adds so much new content

[high vault]

god, zote singing while fungal wastes music plays for enemy rando loading is quite the thing to behold

[brittle frigate]

I made a mod for that I think. If there's any interest I can put it on GitHub

[sick bobcat]

I just gonna make my first knight skin mod just standing there

[tepid thorn]

for the skills upgrade mod, if im playing with no randomizer are those turned on automatically or is there a way to unlock them during a playthrough?

[jovial lion]

They are automatic

[dense wigeon]

they do need to be enabled in the mod's menu

[lean jolt]

Maybe I should change this

[ionic sparrow]

Yea

[gray vessel]

Well, i kinda have an idea for it, but my modding skills are 0
It would be that there would be a separate charm with 2 levels, one being the gc, other cfm, and the charm would spawn in 2 different locations depending on what you do with the troupe, if you complete the ritual you would find it where the troupe started, and if you banish, you would find it where the main tent was
I actually don't even know if that's possible to do

[brittle frigate]

My version just gave the other charm when you completed the ritual or banished him

[gray vessel]

Well, is your mod compatible with transcendence? Or charm mods in general?

[gray vessel]

Hello?

[brittle frigate]

I think so

It uses the samecharm library

[gray vessel]

Then, can you send it to me?

[brittle frigate]

Can you complie the code?

[gray vessel]

I don't know

[brittle frigate]

I will try adding it to modlinks in a bit. But it may take some time to get accepted

[gray vessel]

Alright

[abstract apex]

ay yo is mask bearer out yet?

[ionic sparrow]

No

[abstract apex]

oof ;-;

waiting for the mod for like 3 months

[brittle frigate]

Its there

[fierce flame]

they ain’t in the HKmod discord

[ocean eagle]

do you have another link with other skin mods other than this one?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E/edit#heading=h.81h2651yyy35

This list contains probably all the public skins available

So there is no need for another link

[ocean eagle]

I saw a radiance skin around, is it private?

[dry snow]

it's not finished

?tag skinfaq @jovial lion

[granite agate]

🔸 Why do skins take so long to make/Why is making skins so difficult?
Making a skin involves redrawing every sprite relevant to the skin - at the very least, all the sprites that feature the Knight. That, alone, is over 500 sprites. More detailed skins, editing spells and HUDs can go up to over 850 sprites. All of these sometimes needs to be redrawn over and over. Depending on the complexity of the design, making a skin can take well over months of work to complete.

🔹 Where can I commission a skin, and how much would it cost?
You can ask in #art-discussion on this server, on in #recruit in the modding server linked in the pinned messages of #modding-discussion.
The price varies with the skin's complexity, but a simple one consisting only of the Knight's basic spritesheets will cost upwards of 100 USD and Euros/90 GBP, if only because of the sheer amount of time that needs to be spent on it. More complex skins and ones of higher quality would increase in cost.

🔸 How can I make my own skin?
A good way to get started is following one of these two videos by Megan. They go over important information about the creation process.

Custom Knight Creator (recommended for Knight-focused skins)

Sprite Packer (recommended for non-Knight sprites, e.g. Charms, bosses, etc.)

[slow relic]

anyone have tips for the anyrad platform phase?

I'm usually going in with 5 or 7 HP + 33 soul

[gray vessel]

What's the mod name?

[brittle frigate]

Oh I forgot to say that

I'm an idiot

It's called carefree grimm

[gray vessel]

Alright

With that i would prefer banishing instead of completing the ritual, i much prefer having another npc than fighting a boss you can fight in the hall of gods

[brittle frigate]

Yes originally I made it for myself so I could do the cool boss fight but I also wanted carefree melody

[gray vessel]

Huh, quite a interesting bug, with the mod, equipping grimm child makes so it doesn't spawn unless you go back to title and re open the file...
Carefree melody works just as usual tho

[brittle frigate]

Thanks for letting me know

I'll look into it tomorrow

Does this only happen the first time?

Or does it happen everything you open the game

[ionic sparrow]

Now we always have to ping hotspring to use the tag

[fierce flame]

hopefully they have pings off

[jovial lion]

[gray vessel]

Every time

It seems like the lore powers mod has a bug on one of it's powers
The traitor's grave means the flower quest one right?

Or it's there a secret grave i'm unaware about?

[gray vessel]

I mean it, it's the only lore power i'm missing from qg

[deft rivet]

It should give you a power, but for inspecting the grave, not completing the flower quest

[gray vessel]

I inspected it, but didn't gave me anything

[gray vessel]

Look

[deft rivet]

Hm, I'll check that.

[gray vessel]

Maybe the check is deactivated once flower quest is completed?
Maybe the object is different, so it doesn't give the power?

[deft rivet]

The ability is binded to the dialogue which tmk is the same in both states

[gray vessel]

Hmm... let me check something

[deft rivet]

It actually doesn't work when the flowers are there...

It uses two different keys... for the same text...

[dense wigeon]

🍝

[deft rivet]

Thank you for pointing this out. I'd have never thought about that

[gray vessel]

Ah, so that's the reason, should be easy to fix right?

[deft rivet]

yes, will be fixed in 2.0. In the meantime you could give yourself the power via the option file

[gray vessel]

Yeah, i'll do that

But... where is the file?

[deft rivet]

You can create it yourself in the folder of the mod

In short:

• Create a options_X.txt file in the LoreMaster folder (Replace X with your file slot)
• Paste this into the file: ```
  %modify%
  %RingOfFlowers% local |add

- Reenter your save file

If this doesn't work, try FlowerRing instead. I'm not sure, if the current version wants the class or actual name of the ability

[gray vessel]

In the game folder i suppose, not in the appdata folder right?
And in the main mod folder, not any subfolder

[deft rivet]

yeah in like ...\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\LoreMaster

[gray vessel]

Um, both didn't worked

[deft rivet]

Does the "Apply option file" line appear in your modlog?

Ah whom am I kidding, I changed what the functions expects over and over. Give me second to figure out what the mod expects

[gray vessel]

Alright

[deft rivet]

RingOfFlowers should've worked. Try XUN_GRAVE_INSPECT in place of RingOfFlowers. If it still doesn't work, please check your modlog.txt

[gray vessel]

Okay, i'm pretty sure i'm missing something, where does modlog appear?

[deft rivet]

hk.tag modlog

?tags modlog

[granite agate]

Tags (1)

modlog

Use "?tag [name]" to show a tag

[deft rivet]

?tag modlog

[granite agate]

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/
......................................................

To easily get ModLog on Windows:

• Press ⊞ + R
• Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK"
• ModLog.txt is in this folder.

Note: ⊞ is the Windows button, in between Ctrl and Alt on your keyboard

[deft rivet]

Third try

[gray vessel]

Hm, there's no apply option setting in the mod log

Do i add it in or?

[deft rivet]

No it should appear automatically if the mod recognized the file

Are you sure it is named correctly?

options_1.txt (if you play on your first game file)

[gray vessel]

I did named it options_2.txt

[deft rivet]

If you enter the second save file from the menu then this should work

[gray vessel]

But, it doesn't work, i tried upper or lower case with all options, didn't worked

[deft rivet]

Note that after saving the option file you need to return to the menu and enter the save file again, for the options to apply.

[gray vessel]

Doesn't work as well

[deft rivet]

Hm, I tested it on the latest public version with RingOfFlowers and it worked. Something with your set up is wrong. Can you Screenshot the Folder with the path?

The only thing which I could explain this with, is:
You named the file options_2.txt and internal it is seen as a text file already, which I think can occurred if you didn't change that in the explorer (that you can see file extensions). So the file is actually named options_2.txt.txt

Other than that, maybe some other mod interferes here or the mod doesn't have the permission to access the path/file. Else idk

[gray vessel]

Oh god, it's the developer curse, it's always the simplest of things that cause the most trouble

It worked now

[deft rivet]

What was the problem?

[gray vessel]

the .txt

[deft rivet]

Ah

[gray vessel]

Yeah, it's like missing a ; on a c++ code

[ionic sparrow]

it's c# btw and the file is probably just c#

[gentle laurel]

[primal kindle]

Moving from #randomizer... the QoL mod keeps automatically disabling itself every time I restart the game or open a save. I can't just enable it once I'm in the save because then it doesn't take affect. How do I fix this?

[dense wigeon]

I haven't heard of that specific thing happening but when mods are acting weird it's a good idea to check they're up to date as well as any dependencies. Scarab isn't always accurate with what needs updating, so you can manually uninstall/reinstall. (However keep in mind updating rando or its dependencies should not be done mid seed)

[primal kindle]

I just attempted re-installing QoL and Vasi and it didn't fix it. I've had an issue similar to this with volume settings not saving when restarting the game, though that was less of an issue because volume changes take effect immediatly, while the QoL enabling doesn't seem to take effect if I don't restart the game.

[high vault]

I am teaching my friend to play hollow knight

[high vault]

note to self: do not get crushed by another player

[austere pivot]

is it his first time?

[scarlet oxide]

Hi guys! Im starting at this of modding hollow knight, mostly because I want some variety of skins, lemme get to the point, i have already some folders from drive but I can't download them, is there any way I can do that?

[dense wigeon]

Can't download them why?

[scarlet oxide]

They appear in shared with me in drive , and it doesn't appear the option to download them

And they have some png files inside, is that ok?

[dense wigeon]

All skins are just made of pngs. You should be able to right click on anything in Drive and select download if for some reason the option isn't showing on screen

[scarlet oxide]

Oh ok! I thought I had an option for downloading the entire folder but I have to download png by png, is that correct?

[lunar root]

No

You do have an lption for the entire folder

At the top of the website there should be the name if the folder

Right click it

Then download

[scarlet oxide]

The problem is that i am in cellphone

[lunar root]

Why would you downloads the images in your phone if you need them to be in your pc anyways

[fierce flame]

[scarlet oxide]

Because i dont have internet in my house

But thanks for the advice

[lunar root]

Then you cant download mods at all-

[rich gulch]

guys in transcendence mod why do most of the custom charms say "Lumafly Express Currently closed"

[dense wigeon]

Most? Or like, 2? (The 2 ends of the express)

[rich gulch]

i've seen 2 so far, but they are in locations that have charms (according to the spoilers.md thing)

but that could be it, thanks

[dense wigeon]

The other end is in City at the Fountain

[rich gulch]

ooohhhh, i thought thats where the lemm charm was meant to be, sorry for wasting your time

[dense wigeon]

Also that's not part of transcendence, lumafly express is part of loremaster

[rich gulch]

oh, lol yeah that adds up

[tough oak]

is there a sly skin by any chance?

[vagrant orbit]

Sly Skin for the Knight, or a Skin for Sly?
Either way, the answer is "not to my knowledge"

[errant lance]

That would look really awkward

[vagrant orbit]

You could do a skin for the Knight that looks like sly, as long as you don't mind the hitboxes being completely different

Like, there's a Lifeblood Seed skin that turns the knight into a lil' lifeblood seed. It's amazing imo, but you still take damage where the knight's head would be

[red plinth]

yeah the life blood seed skin is really cool and neat, but I know I'd end up getting hit a lot because I would have no sense of where my hit box is XD

[tough oak]

yeah lmao

i was thinking a skin for the knight

[tight temple]

there could be a mod to bind a key to force animations like spike hit, bench sit, falling.. etc

[vagrant orbit]

While note all animations, you can see a lot of them with HKMotes

[tight temple]

nice, i will take a look

Lol, its perfect

Lol, its perfect

[jade crown]

I downloaded pale court and just wondering where the new areas are

Currently on a 112 file

itll say in the main menu

[jade crown]

is it just a Rick roll

[ionic sparrow]

It's a meme cause pale court isn't released yet

[swift lichen]

I have a cool idea for a boss mod but I have no skill so I'm just asking someone here to make it

Nvm it would be too complicated

[dense wigeon]

There is an ideas/suggestions channel in the modding channel, but yeah custom bosses are a lot more work than other types of mods and usually also require custom art in addition to coding

[fierce flame]

hey colette what’s your opinion on adding skins where the author had to release it due to skin thieves

like the original killer whale

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Fh41197cX/

[dense wigeon]

If a skin is publicly available, then I try to have it on my list. Those types of situations are unfortunate bit once it's released its released.

That skin is already on my list, from the TWP Drive I believe, as Sapphire.

[fierce flame]

ahh

[ionic sparrow]

a great example of it is pale court

[sly parrot]

does someone want to play hollow knight together

[jovial lion]

Try here #modding-discussion message

[unique anchor]

Is there are a link for custom knight that gets updated frequently?

[vagrant orbit]

There's ColetteMSLP's Doc

it's in the pins

Generally speaking, it gets updated about once a month as public skins are released/found (and it has a "new stuff" section at the bottom).
While there are some things missing from it currently, it is by-far the most exhaustive source of Skin information.

Mods/Controller not working correctly on Steam Deck
Issue: Steam Deck installs the Windows version of HK, then runs it in proton. This would be fine except that you install Linux Scarab, which replaces the Assembly-Csharp with the Linux version, and then it doesn't like to work correctly on "Windows" anymore

Solution: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)

This will reinstall the Linux version of the game, and move some files around, so you'll need to select "Change Paths" in Scarab and change it to the new install path, then reinstall your mods. After this, everything should be working.

[vagrant orbit]

This is a simple mod by @Exempt-Medic#2407 that allows the player to adjust Menderbug's chance to spawn. Useful for any connections that may make use of killing them, but you don't want the odds to be as low as the vanilla value.

You set the value in the Options > Mods menu.

[granite agate]

How to use Scarab in Microsoft Store
🔹 First enter the Xbox app and move your mouse over Hollow Knight on the left bar.
🔹 Click the three points then click "Manage".
🔹 Go to the "Files" tab and select "Browse...".
🔹 Click Hollow Knight then Content, click the path bar and copy it.
🔸Run Scarab as admin and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.

Alternate Method:
🔹 Click on your profile then "Settings"
🔹 Go to "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER"
🔹 Look for a folder where you want to install the game (Preferably inside a folder in your desktop).
🔸 Copy the path bar, then run Scarab as Administrator and when it asks you for the path, paste what copied before.

Scarab path folder needs to have Hollow Knight_Data folder inside

[modest gale]

Umm,i don't pirate thingz

[ionic sparrow]

[modest gale]

Other people do

[modest gale]

Well,it can always jump out of nowhere

[ionic sparrow]

I am part of the devs so I know when

[lunar root]

Yeah and what about your pirated hk game

Thats right! Convo ends now

[ember flame]

[young pilot]

Its interesting how a simple mod can completely destroy the game mechanics if there is an error in it. When i died my shade sprite spawned over me. Then when i died later my shade didnt even spawn, i dont even think i properly died. Turns out custom knight fucked up

[ionic sparrow]

That's one of those 0.00000001% errors that happen for no reason and are in the normal game aswell

Get debug and use the spawnshade option

[jovial lion]

Also I wouldn’t call custom knight a simple mod

[young pilot]

No believe me, deleting custom knight fixed it

[ionic sparrow]

Well those bugs are in every application that's more than a few lines long

[young pilot]

Oh sorry i think i pinged you with that reply

Just reset the global and local settings and it should work again

Also, checked out that Radiance skin screenshot.

Assuming it's in the works?

[red plinth]

Technically it's usable now, just not public. Gonna add more to it before I release it.

[turbid rivet]

that's fair.

[fierce flame]

most of the progress for the radiance skin is in art general in the modding discord

if you want to see more

[turbid rivet]

yes

why are there so many knight's with grass on them

[fierce flame]

Stickers

[turbid rivet]

ah

just looked at the pinned " how to replace boss skins " thing.

does it work for area's? as i've been trying to get palace of fools to work

[red plinth]

As far as I know, global hash only works for enemies. For background elements, you need the room path, which you can get by dumping the sprites in the room. For an example, you can look at the mould or mimikyu skin, which both make use of room paths to change Bretta's room and coli markers and such.

[turbid rivet]

How do I create a path?

[red plinth]

Making folders. Like I said, best way to do it is to go into the room you want to change with custom knight on and click dump sprites.

[turbid rivet]

So, for palace of fools

I just create a folder named Colosseum of Fools?

Then put the palace folder into it, and dump?

[red plinth]

No. You go into the coli, dump it, and look at how the dumped folder is setup. The folder must be set up the same way in the skin inside the swap folder.

I would have assumed a skin you downloaded was already set up with the correct paths, so you would just need to put it in the swap folder of the knight skin you want to use.

[turbid rivet]

I have it downloaded, i put it in the swap folder.

So, i need to put the folder in all of my skin folders? or just one that i use the most?

[red plinth]

Whatever skin you want it to apply to

[turbid rivet]

Is this good?

[red plinth]

Move all of those folders under swap directly.

[turbid rivet]

So, in the actual skin folder, not swap. Gotcha.

[red plinth]

No into the swap folder. Not in palace of fools

[turbid rivet]

oh the assets, okay

OH YEAH

something def changed

Thank you!

THE GLASS HAS PHYSICS????

hehehe

uhhh

i think i might've done something wrong

The sprites are shitfing in places they shouldn't be.

yeah hitstun is using a different sprite.

[red plinth]

I think that's just a bug. I vaguely remember it being posted about when the skin was being made.

[turbid rivet]

What did they do to fix it?

[atomic ledge]

wtf theres reskins of rooms now??

thats so cool

[turbid rivet]

yeah

especially when they actually are able to replicate ari's artwork

meant to say this before, but this is some really impressive work, mr. hb.

[red plinth]

I didn't make palace of fools. Chaktis did.

[turbid rivet]

Oh?

oh so you were the one who made the mould skin, but chaktis made the palace

[red plinth]

And looks like dwarf Uninstalled and reinstalled custom knight to fix it? But keep in mind if you do that, it will delete all your skins so back them up first.

Oh wait, was reading the wrong thing. I don't know if there is a fix yet actually

[austere pivot]

yeah, i did that too and it worked to me, try too.

[turbid rivet]

i'll do that after trying to install some other dump sprites

[turbid rivet]

the dumping ended up fixing it

[vagrant orbit]

The release version does not officially fix that bug. If dumping fixes it.. that's interesting
The dev version fixes it iirc, but the dev version has some other big bugs

is there a skin called radiance?

speaking of lil rad, she has lil gooey spooders now

[alpine juniper]

it's the guy!

[tough fiber]

Im not rlly an artist, but what do you guys think of daft knight

[red plinth]

If you're serious about making that a skin, the helmet would need to be shrunk so it fits into the sprite's size limits.

[tough fiber]

Oh you're right, gotcha. Tbh I just drew this over the regular sprite to conceptualize an idea I had

Have you made a skin before? If so do you have an tips to get started?

[red plinth]

Yeah, I have. Copy and paste is your best friend, you'll find yourself copy and pasting a lot, and I highly recommend using spritepacker to help you pack the sprites. (Spritepacker guide is pinned). I prefer spritepacker over using Custom Knight Creator, as its more stable.

I normally start with basic movement and idle animations since you can copy and past the head for a lot of it.

[tough fiber]

Thanks!

[red plinth]

Skin making can take a long time, so setting little goals can help you stay motivated (for example, aiming to do maybe 3 or 4 animations a week, or finishing all the slashes).

[tough fiber]

Ok, sounds like a good plan since college is enough already

lol

What skin did you make :)

[red plinth]

I also like to work on the hud and minions when I get tired of drawing knight sprites, just to break up the monotony.
I made Mould.

And Little Radiance (unreleased)

[tough fiber]

I'll have to check that out! I love using the skins

ooh little radiance sounds particularly cool!

thx again!

It didn't work, it doesn't identify the boss on the screen for some reason, but I tried it with the Watcher Knight and it worked.

Hi all,

Bit of a weird one but I'm trying to get Hollow Knight running on a 32-bit linux system (dont even know if this is possible or not) however this reddit thread makes it seem like it would be. Would someone be able to assist? I have the hollow knight game downloaded at directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data but I am not sure on what he meant by "Just replace the engine(files under Mono/ and Plugins/) and executable with the 32-bit version of Unity 2017.4.10f1"

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/ul6vsg/is_the_32bit_legacy_version_only_on_windows/

I dont see any x86_32 executable file for hollow knight, despite downloading the beta version

[weak plinth]

Where did you buy the game from

[shrewd ibex]

Steam

[weak plinth]

Then just select 1432 in steambetas

?tag steambetas

[granite agate]

Make sure you have the correct game version for your mods.
-Modinstaller takes version 1.4.3.2 (and is no longer support)
-Scarab takes version 1.5 (set beta to "None")
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/283470827738103810/1024160413895639050/Untitled-1.png

[shrewd ibex]

Yes but I’m trying to run the game via box86

Since I’m on ARM lol

So not using Steam

[weak plinth]

So... You bought it from steam, but don't want to use the steam copy?

The point of selecting the 1432 beta is that will give you the 32bit game files. If you want to use steam to download them then copy the files somewhere else, then do that

[shrewd ibex]

Oh okay! Yeah, I have been playing on an x86 machine fine but just wanted to give it a try. I am not sure how to download that specific version from the Steam console

[weak plinth]

You select the beta drop-down and it'll download that game version to your game install location

[shrewd ibex]

Okay, I swear I did that but there was no 32 bit exe. Let me try again, thanks

[lyric notch]

What spritesheets do I need to change to make a costumeknight

[shrewd ibex]

I guess I probably need to use wine as well on a Linux machine to run the exe, as there is no binaries for this haha. Thanks for your help anyway 😄 appreciate it

[red plinth]

The custom knight default skin shows the sheets you can edit. Do as many sheets as you want, the more you do the more complete the skin will be. At minimum you'll need to do knight.png

[silent lynx]

which is the most well made hornet skin?

[vagrant orbit]

Checkout the skin list in the pins, and search "Hornet", then decide what one you like

[gilded rose]

coukd any of you guys end me a link to hollownight fyremoth mod 5.0

[ionic sparrow]

It's inside pail court, which is a big modpack containing : fyremoth, pale court and the sanctuary

[stuck oracle]

pail court

[ocean eagle]

omg, I designed an entire skin mod about berserk, but my artistic skills are horrible, if anyone likes the work and manages to make my thoughts come true I can share it here

[lyric notch]

thx

[ionic sparrow]

"I have this incredible idea but I can't make it bc yada yada yada, so could you dedicate multiple weeks of your life to make my idea come true?"

[ocean eagle]

I didn't force anyone to do anything, I just said I have an idea.

[ionic sparrow]

Did I say anyone has to do anything?

[ocean eagle]

No

[ionic sparrow]

Then why you said this, doesn't make any sense then

[dense olive]

How easy is it to create a mod for the game (just bosses, not even hitboxes)? I've heard it uses a type of visual scripting, but I'm not sure if it's easy or not (compared to other games).

[ionic sparrow]

while it uses visual scripting : 1. it costs money lik 50 or smth + it's harder to integrate into the game adn you'll still need to know a little bit of c# and all basics of unity

[dense olive]

That makes sense. Doesn't unity have a free course to learn it?

[ionic sparrow]

https://learn.unity.com also recommend joining the modding server

[dense olive]

Thanks!

[ionic sparrow]

also get the devs channel role,further explanation for that in the rules

[shrewd ibex]

Is it possible that Hollow Knight would ever get ported to 32-bit Linux? I know there’s a 32-bit version on windows but I’m struggling to figure out how to launch it on a 32-bit Linux OS, or if that’s even supported

[vagrant orbit]

Hollow Knight wasn't originally 64 bit. You may want to check steam's Beta's section for the 1432 32-bit compatibility version.

Speedrun.com also has a downpatching guide that involves using Depot Downloader, and lists the patches and version numbers, if you want to try for a different one as well.

[shrewd ibex]

Thanks a lot! I was just a bit confused I suppose, as I’m not used to unity file structure for games. For example, Shovel Knight I can run with a translation layer such as box86 on ARM devices, and there is a 32-bit binary file that can be executed. The directory within the beta version on Steam still shows a .exe file, as I assume it’s made for windows only

But of course Shovel Knight isn’t made in unity, so there’s that lol. But .exe files can’t be read natively by a Linux machine without wine

When I download the x86_64 version I get an x86.64 binary file that can be run from the command line. I guess I was expecting the 32-bit version to have something similar available to run

[fringe jolt]

So like, is ANYBODY on the public co-op server??? Because apparently NOBODY else is on

Also like HELL am I buying Dashmaster 5 for 395

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. We also will not help you if you have pirated the game. If you continue, further action could be taken.

Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
Note: Many vendors, such as Humble Bundle, offer the game as a Steam Key.

[hasty grove]

Does nkg give anything in rando?

iirc it should give grimmchild 4 in vanilla so probably

[dry snow]

Heya, first post here. So I'm looking to mod Hollow Knight, but Idon't know what to install. Using Scarab, by the way. Is there a mod that let's me place certain bosses in certain locations? For example, Sisters of Battle in Mantis Village instead of Mantis Lords. And generally things that keep the game vanilla for the most part in regards to mods. Stuff like that.

[minor hawk]

A couple of mods just add some charms here and there, like transcendence or firemoth, you also have hollow point that changes how the knight attacks

And also pail curt, best mod

[dry snow]

Thanks for the suggestions. Could you tell me more about pail curt? I wanna say it's The Pale Court mod, but I haven't found anything concrete and definitive in terms of answers.

Okay, so I installed the following mods: Golden Godhome. Myla Flower. The Pale Court. Path of Puer Vessel. Quirrel Flower. And their respective dependencies. How Does that look to you guys? Would you call that true-ish to vanilla HK as possible? Or would you guys do things differently?

[jovial lion]

I mean it is up to you what you wanna play

[weak plinth]

the most true to vanilla hk as possible would be vanilla hk

[random elk]

Add in something fun like random teleport

[jovial lion]

[covert estuary]

Glass soul is way more fun though

[fierce flame]

hat mod is a fun one

[dry snow]

Thank you. I just want to play the game as if Team Cherry made it, but with as few deviations as possible while remaining true to the spirit of vanilla hk.

[covert estuary]

Glass soul is very realistic though

[jovial lion]

Sounds like you just wanna play vanilla

[red plinth]

Yeah if you want to play it as TC intended, then vanilla is the way to go. Especially if its your first time playing.

[weak plinth]

this is such an arbitrary limit that nobody besides yourself can determine what is "vanilla, but not really vanilla"

everyone draws that line differently

[dry snow]

Okay I understand guys. Thank you so much for the helpful advice.

Here's a good example of what I prefer, though. Fallout New Vegas using the Viva New Vegas modding guide. But with extras like FPGE, Cut Content Restoration mods, QoL changes, and the Someguy Series mods. That's an example of my preferred modding setup in all of my pc games.

[errant lance]

you can try the qol mod

but you might end up skipping some text with how instant it is

[dry snow]

Will do.

[errant lance]

it's mostly to reintroduce inventory dropping which people arent really doing anyway unless they're experienced, along with the cutscene fast skips and text instant scroll and killing a certain noise from an annoying character

[fierce flame]

i installed it just to make watchers not backwards roll

[red plinth]

I like the backwards roll. It was always supposed to be there anyway.

[dry snow]

I should mention, I know Fallout has nothing to do with Hollow Knight. That was just me giving an example in mod I prefer to use, in case anyone needed to know what I meant. Sorry if I confused anyone with some of my comments. Like I said, I'm new here.

Oops, sorry. Mods. Typo.

[fierce flame]

i just don’t like the watchers so if it makes it easier i’ll take it

[red plinth]

fair, I used to dislike them, now I kinda enjoy the fight. Idk XD

[dry snow]

Funny thing is, my first time playing hk was on the switch, which definitely doesn't support mods, just like all consoles.

[minor hawk]

It’s kinda funny how now people complain about it, despite it being like, present in the first versions of hk
