Someone told me a few days ago that I can install it with scarab too, but I will need satchel and it should work
But apparently it doesnt
There isn't even an install link on scarab though
**How To Install Any rad
- Install https://github.com/EarlyHemisphere/HK-AnyRad-No-Ddark-Glitch/releases/tag/v1.0.0
- In your Hollow Knight Mods folder (located in your Steam directory, /steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods), create a folder called "AnyRadiance" and place the dll in there
- Download https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610754780461006848/941635092550406154/1.5ModCommon.dll
- In your Mods folder, create a folder called "ModCommon" and place the ModCommon dll inside
Do you want to play 2.0 as well?
Yes
Do the same thing with that folder as with the any rad folder
You can't have them both at the same time I think or neither will work
No problem

How i do the invincibility glitch?
Which one
There are others invicibility glitch?
@bright lodge if you go directly from palace grounds there's nothing that stops it from being under City and beside hive
the bridge will be broken by the bossfight for the depths, and there will be a breakable wall to the right of the hidden station bench
breaking the wall will lead you to a room with geo mounds and a one way breakable wall at the end that can only be broken in the depths
like this
what is in the dephs
idk yet
like a mixture of the abyss [ from terraria calamity mod ] and the nether [ from minecraft ofc ]
For invincibility glitch?
whar?
also you're in the wrong channel
hi any tips for how to mod my nintendo?
ik how to mod skins
but not actual mods
Skins only work because of a tool that literally replaces the normal game files with the skin files.
There isn't a general moddingAPI for consoles, which means that no mods themselves work on them
have someone made jujutsu kaisen skins for HK? I think it would be cool
AFAIK no
is there a mod for healthbar?
Yes

Save Files
-
What do the save files looks like?
- Hollow Knight save files are in the form of
user#.dat, where#is the save slot for the file. - You can take a file named
user3.datand rename it touser1.datto set it to your first save slot. - You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer.
- Hollow Knight save files are in the form of
-
Reverting Backup files
- You have save file backups that are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. Typically speaking, you will have your last three backups. - You can set a backup to be the real file by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup file.
- You have save file backups that are called
-
Modded save files
- If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). Both this file and theuser#.datare part of the save.
- If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a

Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is

I need a specific type of save file
- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
-
Editing save files You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.
- MoreSaves mod: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves.
- QoL mod: If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. - DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod.

I was playing a randomizer and I randomly started flying up and now I canāt pause the game to quit
How do I force quit the game?
Alt+f4
How do I put that in?
You just press the two buttons at the same time
It is not working for me
If you have a FN button, then you may need to hold that as well
It's part of Inferno King Grimm on the installer
You go into the WeaverCore settings on the main menu
Scarab is the installer
The main menu refers to the game
You'll see a grey box on it for WeaverCore settings
(I'm pretty sure this is even explained in the IKG ReadMe)
Does modding work on the Xbox version of hollow knight?
modding works on gamepass for pc, but not on the console
Do not ping random people.
this is a public chat. If its a generic question, just ask it you don't need permission. If you need actual modding help, make a thread in #1057825333841240104
Just to add to this:
Specifically, you can mod any official version on PC.
Microsoft confusingly calls all of their store versions "Xbox games" (This includes the Gamepass versions, and the one from their app).
So you can mod if you're playing on a PC (laptop / desktop), but you cannot mod if you're playing on a Console (Xbox console / Switch / PS / Phone / etc)
Phone is my favorite console now
What is phone, if not a portable console?
What is console, if not stationary phone?
Man i love playing spiderman ps4 in my phone
Consoles don't have to be stationary
Love the enthusiasm
I disagree, thats why the nintendo switch, isnt a thing
It was just a dream
Forget it now
Whatās a Nintendo switch 
Ah yes, all handhelps consoles were a dream. That's tru
You cant even make phone calls in a ps5 or send texts in and xbox, lame imo
any good platforming (aka hard) mods?
and i dont mean stuff thats impossible or stuff thats just really annoying
Here's the old drive of DecoMaster maps:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1PScMvP77yynVEiqwMmXDKnHuCdL2WNCN
There's also Test of Teamwork
gl
Rocket, was it you that had DecoMaster guides?
Someone had them, and I don't know where they are now 
Fair
i recall making something a while ago but idk if it decomaster was in there specifically
actually i think i asked hotspring to help me make one cause i didnt really know how but we never finished it
Ah, that makes sense
how do i do impossible birthplace since the abyss is normal
i went there
idk if it has to be the first time im there
ok ima activate debug since its not on lol
i think its in the charm menu, idk which version it is but you'll need to change the kingsoul value to smth
i think its 3?
ok
I just wanted to come here and say that my friend wanted to tell you guys he's making a spell only mod and that he wanted me tell you all, why he didn't do it himself idk.
k
thanks for letting us know
who ye friend?
also the birthplace is normal
are there any good platforming mods that dont need decomaster
since idk how to even use decomaster at all
you sure all the jsons are in this folder?
ok ima do that

so like this?
yes
Is the Xbox version of hollow knight modable?
if you have gamepass, yeah
otherwise no

anyone know which is bigger
or rather which reaches higher
shade soul on flat ground
or the dive spell on flat ground
asking for collector
im torn between which spell to use during the fight
hitbox images would be awesome too
is that the only way i can check? no references here or somewhere else
If you mean desolate dive, shade soul is probably higher. If you mean descending dark, probably that. (Ddive does nor have an air flair while ddark does)
i cant get any custom knight skins with discord links, despite being apart of both nessicary discords, can anybody help me with this? im using Colettes list
click the link when you have discord open
it should bring you to the message that has the skin
if that doesn't work log in on web browser
.
ok, thank you, ill try that
gl
it worked! thank you

What do you guys think is the order i should tackle the pale court bosses? Or are they pretty much all equally as hard?
from hottest to most ugly
Could someone tell me what exactly works with the charm abyssal bloom in pale court
Since it's not a nail I thought most charms won't work, but then I saw someone use it with fury
So does like strength work with it
Or quick slash
Oh I see alright thanks
what is your resolution setting at
(Answered in the modding server but posting here too for future reference, this is a consequence of the "warp only" setting)
how do you fix it?
wait
do you just turn it off?
toggle the setting
whats warp only
You should read the mod's readme (click the link in the mod's description on scarab), but to quote it:
- Warp Only: removes bench selection menu
That's literally the whole point of that setting
is that just so you dont have to uninstall the mod?
cuz doesnt not having the menu kinda remove the point?
No, you still have the warp button, hence its name
ah so you can only return to the most recent bench
any cool new custom knight skins? havnt seen any new ones on the Colette doc in a while
thereās several you can find
most recent one ive found (with public download) was Winter
You might find a few that aren't on the list yet there https://discord.com/channels/879125729936298015/917259056270409759, Neko probably has a few links in this channel too
cool thanks
I've been working on an update but haven't had much time towards it lately
do you need help with it or nah
Nah, but thanks for the offer

Is anyone able to assist with launch issues (base game) on Steam? I'm having issues
?tag verify
I did that. . I think the issue is coming from that only 1 GB of the ~8GB of the game is downloading when I install. Not how to prompt Steam to fully download the game
Do you have space on the drive you are installing it to?
Its a brand new drive. Plenty of space. HK is only 1 of 2 games I've purchaced so far.
This is what I see when I go to install. Itās just installing 1GB
Thatās download
It extracts that to the full install size
Thatās not the issue
So how do I get the game to launch. I tried the verify files solution, and that didnāt work for me.
What happened when you tried to launch it?
Black screen, I can see a hollow knight stylized mouse cursor, but nothing else. If I click anywhere I get a message that the HK file isnāt responding
What OS are you on and what are your system specs
Windows. Brand new build. 3070/Ryzen 7700x
What steambeta are you on
Dunno⦠where do I find that out?
?tag steambetas
Make sure you have the correct game version for your mods.
- Modinstaller takes version 1.4.3.2 (and is no longer supported)
- Scarab takes version 1.5 (set beta to "None")
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/283470827738103810/1024160413895639050/Untitled-1.png
Iām on none.. not trying to install mods ATM. Trying to launch the base game
I know this might seem cliche. But have you tried shutting your computer down and restarting it, then doing a fresh install?
I have⦠However I switched to 1.4.3.2. And it let me launch the game? Is there a reason it let me launch the game that way and not with ānoneā selected?
switching betas does make it re-install stuff. Maybe the initial install had something wrong with it.
I've seen some other discussion on reddit that it's an issue with something called v-sync. To try and go into launch options to where you can access the macros
that didn't work either. ugghhhh.
still stuck, please help
If it boots in 1.4, and you're just trying to play vanilla, you can just play the 1.4 version. It's not missing any content or anything.
Okay... that fine for now. But one of the reasons I re-bought this is that I would like to install mods... Otherwise I would have just stuck with the Switch
You have a newer build so 64 bit should be fine
This probably won't work, but could you try adding "-force-opengl" to the steam launch options for hk
I just see the 1.4.3.2 - 32bit capability as an option. No 64 bit. Can I run mods running that patch?
64 bit is "none"
1432 is not supported anymore for mods. You can play really old ones on that still, but all the new stuff is on current patch
Then I still don't know what's going on or how to fix it.
.
Do this after switching back to "none"
error box. Failed to initlaize player
also tried this one "-screen-fullscreen 0 -popupwindow" and it doesnt work either
That just makes it borderless window
That wouldn't affect launch
Did you ever have any other copy of hk on that pc
No.. Brand new PC build
And not having the issue with the one other game I've bought/downloaded so far. Just HK
Are all your drivers up to date with your new GPU?
That could cause issues if you havent
Especially since the new HK version needs them
Check on Nvidia GeForce experience that you're fully up to date
I don't believe I did. The only thing I updated when prior to installing windows was update the motherboard
Yeah, get GPU drivers then
Where on windows do I go?
You open Nvidia GeForce
If you don't have that program, download it
It checks for Nvidia GPU drivers specifically
Download it from Nvidia's website
"geForce Experience" or NOW?
GeForce experience
Okay... give me a few minutes. Setting up an Nvidia profile
OMG that did it. Thanks for your help so much, and please forgive the ignorance of a PC gaming virgin. Haven't PC gamed since the days of MSDOS and Duke Nukem 3D and roller coaster tycoon.
Sick. Glad that was it
wait is pale court not working for anybody else
No
i did in fact read it but im using the mod alone and the game won't open, it says it's not responding
Yeah, if you're on a lower-end PC, then you need to wait a bit
You just ignore the "not responding message" (that's just Windows not liking that it takes awhile to load)
o
ok got that
wait like you're awesome that's actually what it was (lack of patience) tysm!!! sorry for the inconvenience tho
where is godtuner in debug mod, i can't get 112 without it and i lost the godtuner
It's probably not in it? I don't seem to remember Godtuner being important, so I doubt that Debug has an option to give it
shame
you can probably save edit it in
Yeah, you definitely can
any good (not decomaster since it just doesnt work for some reason) platforming mods for hk?
test of teamwork
ive finished that
Pale court
yes ive done abyssal temple
Most platforming things are deco maps.
Last I checked you literally never responded more in your #1057825333841240104 post, and didn't post updated screenshots of your level install, nor a modlog post from trying to get it to work
It's not that the mod doesn't "work for some reason"; it's because you've done something wrong, but literally don't provide any information for people to help you fix it
Hello, i just installed the Fyrenest mod, where i can find the new charms? 
Idek what that is but it looks cool
or custom trials that arent just haha spam lost kin and nosk and false knight and stuff =) i mean like real ones

I already uninstalled the mod, but it was basically a laaarger dash
Is there any mod which changes character models? (Not only player) i want zote to be mini freddy
You can use custom knight to change a lot of non player textutes using swapper

i meant where can i get it
but what is The name of it
The name is in that link.

š¹ Video guide: https://youtu.be/zKEjNSk8AgM
š¹ How it works:
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.
š¹ Public Servers:
For general use (PVP enabled)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26950

For exclusively co-op (PVP disabled)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26951
Requires HkmpPouch
For playing Tag
IP: tag.hkmp.org
PORT: 26950
Requires HKMP Tag
Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!
Okay thanks
So i can connect to the coop hkmp.org?
Would that be with other people though
Yeah typically
Read the guide
it actually isnt super complicated
i just read through it and realised that this guide made me look extremely stupid when using it for another mod for another game
Oh okay
its pretty simple
I will check it out if my friend gets hk
Yo how i can get the powers of the Lore master mod?? (this is my vanilla game file, do i have to do a new file to use them?)
Question about Pale Court for anyone here that might have insight: I installed the mod and tried to play it, and I can tell it seems to be working (I see the new menu screen and can access the boss battles) but I can't really play it because 90% of the image assets aren't loading and just showing as giant flat pink squares or other shapes. Has anyone else here experienced this? I'm playing on Steam Deck if that makes a difference.
See the pins - steam deck runs the Linux version
Pretty sure the readme says new file is required
damn 
Hum, whats mods are good to start a new file? i already installed some like Pale court, Lore master, Lost artifacts, any otheres that can make a different experience from vanilla hk?
Hello, when I use scarab and enable mods (like 3-4) and then play hollow knight it takes a very long amount of time to load
It takes ten minutes or more to open the game
And I even tried it with enabling only one mod and it still took a very long time
Is it supposed to do this?
I recommend hallownest vocalized
It makes the game much better in my opinion
What are the mods and what are your specs?
Oh yea! i hear a little about it, i will add it to the list!
I normally play with hallownest vocalized and Qol and custom knight
But now I also added pale court
pale court is a huge mod, possibly the largest one ever made and ever will be made
its 350 mb
HKV & pale court can have compatibility issues as noted in the pins so be mindful of that
Yeah but before I even added pale court it loaded for a long time
if you have too many ck skins it can bog down your loading time
HKV is also a known culprit for long loading
Oh
for how big it is im surprised its as fast as it is for me
Uhh
The game has been loading for 40 minutes
And I removed HKV
And a few skins
Nvm
isnt there a kings pass challenge thing?
my hollow knight video quality is stuck at 1493x933 at 60 hz even though my monitor is 2560x1440 at 165 hz, can anyone help?
im on linux btw
i was redirected here for help
Anyone know which QoL mod toggle skips dreamer sequences? Playing poor translation and skipped past Lurian -_-
i set steam launch settings to
-force-opengl -w 2560 -h 1440 -refresh 165
but it's still the same issue
I'm pretty sure that's skip cutscenes
Greetings. Does anyone know what to do in case that "Transcendence" mod charms don't appear in their respective locations?
if you're on an existing save, start a new one
If not, create a #1057825333841240104 post & explain further there
if i install for example a boss health mod does that disable steam achivments?
What no
It literally doesn't use the loading bar for most of its assets
Just going by what I've seen people mention ... maybe it's only a problem for really low end systems?
(I haven't played it & basically nothing takes very long to load for me anymore on new PC.)
HAII
okay so i saw this mod on youtube and i really wanna play it but idk how to install it into my hollow knight game can someone help?
Almost all mods are on the installers
In scarab i disabled the pale court mod and then after a while wanted to enable it again but then it made a gray thing around the on button and i cant enable any other mod
And when i close scarab and open it again pale court isnt installed
Enabled*
Well you could go in your mods folder and manually move the pale court folder out of the "disable folder"
Or you could install scarab + which is usually better at dealing with things like that
?tag scarab+
Scarab+
This is a new version of Scarab, that fixes many of the problems with the commonly used version, as well as adds additional features (filtering by tags, filtering by new releases, offline mode and allowing you to use shareable download links):
https://themulhima.github.io/Scarab?download
Oh
Alright
If i uninstall scarab and install scrab+ does it uninstall all my already installed mods?
It took me a very long timr to install pale court lol
No it doesnāt uninstall your mods
Oh ok thx
So i clicked the download button alot
And nothing happened at all
I have good internet
You could also go to the release page and get it from there
Have you check your internet browser and wether or not it is blocking it ?
I checked the download folder but i dont have an antivirus
How do i do that
Get the version for your os only
Your polite telling them, thatās better than 90% of people
Is there supposed to be only one folder in scarab
Theres usually 4
Nevermind the mods work perfectly now thanks a lot!
Oh one last question though, in enemy hp bar if i dont put any hp bar skin for it does it not work or is there a default skin? Cuz i for some reason cant load the collete skin website
Why when i use some skins all sprites get white?

- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images themselves visible
Example screenshot (yours should look like this):

It should work fine without any skin
if you have a mod that changes the HP then it wont display iirc
Ohh ok thanks
I wish I had a way to easily mod, but I play on switch
idk if this is the right place to ask but, i installed pale court and the menu screen has the pale court background but the place where you dreamnail into the fights arent working, there are no dreamcatcher particles and it wont take me into the fight, is there something im missing?
Probably something in the pins.
ah, thank you! and sorry for asking, i didnt see the pin š
is pale court voice acted yet or nah
By that you mean, is there a collab between hallownest vocalised and pale court ?
To that the answer is currently no
ok thanks
A new skin made by Lazycat (TWP), but as it's a private skin there won't be links about how to download it here. The knight was made with the theme of Sekiro, and the effects with the theme of Thunder Wolf. This vedio was made by Lazycat, and reprinted by authorization. You can find it here. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17a4y1x7bb

Is this Skin still around?
It's private as I believe is noted in the video description
Yeah but it been years so had to check

hello! i dont ever mod hollow knight so i know nothing about the various different mods. however, one of them got my attention and it was the pale court mod. i played a little bit of it and fought a boss and i can say for certain that this is extremely fun and i wish i got into modding earlier. with that being said id appreciate it alot if anyone could tell me about other mods that are like pale court that have new bosses. id really like to try them out. thanks :))
you can filter by tag with scarab+ if you want to see what bosses there are. Brand new bosses aren't common (understandably so, its a lot of work both to design a fight as well as create all the art assets for them), but there are a decent number of modified bosses to look at.
hey where i can find i save of the game?
Save Files
-
What do the save files looks like?
- Hollow Knight save files are in the form of
user#.dat, where#is the save slot for the file. - You can take a file named
user3.datand rename it touser1.datto set it to your first save slot. - You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer.
- Hollow Knight save files are in the form of
-
Reverting Backup files
- You have save file backups that are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. Typically speaking, you will have your last three backups. - You can set a backup to be the real file by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup file.
- You have save file backups that are called
-
Modded save files
- If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). Both this file and theuser#.datare part of the save.
- If you are using mods, a modded save may also have a
-
Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\ - For other operating systems, type
?tag savesinto chat.
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is
-
I need a specific type of save file
- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
-
Editing save files You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.
- MoreSaves mod: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves.
- QoL mod: If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. - DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod.

Starting Pale Court:
- Install it using Scarab+
- You must have ||All dreamers||
- You must have ||defeated a specific boss:|| ||White Defender||
- Watch the Launch Trailer if you want directions where to go next.
Known problems with Pale Court
- Textures do not work on Unix systems (MacOS / Linux)
- MacOS should work on the latest update, but may still have some missing textures.
- Spanish breaks one of the bosses
- AdditionalMaps, Extra MenuBackgrounds, EssenceAlways (and any mod that attempts to force Essence drops) aren't compatible, and will prevent you from being able to enter fights.
- Using a BenchWarp Deployed Bench in new areas will break the file
- If you accidentally do this, then close the game, disable Benchwarp, then open the file again. Get off the bench you spawn at, and sit down again. Then save+quit, and you should be able to enable Benchwarp again.
- HK Vocalized may prevent you from accessing fights
- (This appears to not be consistently reproducible, but if you can't enter fights, then try disabling it)
- Skill Upgrades will prevent Charms from working correctly
- Hollow Point will not work if Pale Court is installed
- Any mod that adds new Charms may prevent Charms from working.
If you're having other issues, then please read #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post with the requested info and any details. Be aware that Pale Court was not designed to be compatible with other mods, and you will usually need to choose between using either Pale Court or the other mod(s).
This was also in the pins
are there any item tracker mods (for completion runs) that dont need randomizer
vanilla map mod
Made it to any radiance phase 3 without unbreakable strength this time
Istg it takes 1.5x more hits without it
I wonder why
Crazy ikr
Curious what the exact number of hits is compared with strength equipped
Well strength does increase your nail dmg by 50%
Statistically speaking anything will take 1.5x longer to kill without strength compared to with
Itās in the numbers
damn thats crazy
what mods can i incorporate with randomizer to add more items and checks besides transcendance?
Hollowpoint
do a dependency search in scarab+ with randomizer as the dependency
how do i do a dependancy search
nvm i got it
does anyone else have this?
it randomly appeared
If you played randomizer before rando4 came out, then you probably did download it. You can delete it, rando4 is the same mod but better.
yo my customknight made my knight just a white block
is pale court just intended to be played on the main file?
and if so is there an easy way to make a copy of that file? i'd rather leave my main file untouched by mods

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/unity.Team\ Cherry.Hollow\ Knight/ - Press Enter
Linux:
- Using your preferred method, navigate to:

šøRun Scarab as admin and when it asks you for the path paste what copied before.
Alternate Method:
š¹ Click on your profile then "Settings"
š¹ Go to "General" tab and select "CHANGE FOLDER"
š¹ Look for a folder where you want to install the game (Preferably inside a folder in your desktop).
šø Copy the path bar, then run Scarab as Administrator and when it asks you for the path, paste what copied before.

No.
I've seen people can do it on switch
Modding is only possible on legit pc versions of the game
But it's not done with mods like on pc
Doesn't that require a rooted switch or something? Anyway not something I would recommend
Dang I was hoping I could get like a skin in hollow knight

how do i get pale prince to work?
Install it with scarab and make sure you didn't disable its dependency. If it's not working for you, then read the faq in #1057825333841240104 and make a new post with the information requested in the faq.

š¹ How it works:
HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world. Enemies have separate health and can be in different places; items/abilities must be collected separately; breakable objects must be broken separately.
A player's attack will happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world.

For general use (PVP enabled)

PORT: 26951
Requires HkmpPouch
For playing Tag

Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!
I'm doing some sprite modding and noticed a weird hiccup with the runcycle, does any one know what frame/png is being accidentally replaced when I'm going through sprite packer

You might have better luck asking in the art channel of the modding server, more skin makers there
Iirc one of the frames in the running animation is an unflagged dupe from the slashing animation.

with hkmp when i start hosting a server my friend tries to join it says connection timed out and we cant play together, how do i fix this
Thanks for that info! I'll poke the art channel too to see if someone knows which one specifically!
If you scroll up a little bit, there's an HKMP guide
005-09-009 = 006-05-156
Oh that's weird. This is the only case of the 3rd number being incorrect in some way, right?
For a second I though this was basic calculus and was confused
yeah, think so. If the sprites are actually different, it's too small a difference for my eye to see. No matter what though, the running animation will flicker until 156 is changed.
hey fellas can someone check if the tag list here is not translated properly for you as well when you change language? (Scarab+)

Bruh ok gotcha
anyone tried installing Scarab on a steam deck?
?tag steamdeck
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.
yes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/966571611350261800/Manual_Installation.png
You just Right-Click on the Knight sheet, and click Save
Wait, that's not it, one sec
Wait wait, I was right the first time. It'll save a file called "Canvas.png" by default, which you just rename to Knight.png
ART
but how do i download the mod 
what are you trying to install? Very few mods need manual installation & those that do should provide you a download link
i'm trying to install the pale court mod, every time i try it through scarab it takes 15-20 minutes, i wasn't sure if it's supposed to take that long so i figured i'd just try it manually
?tag scarab+
Scarab+
This is a new version of Scarab, that fixes many of the problems with the commonly used version, as well as adds additional features (filtering by tags, filtering by new releases, offline mode and allowing you to use shareable download links):
https://themulhima.github.io/Scarab?download
it's a large mod, if your internet sucks it will take a long time
Also, if Scarab is stuck on it, then use Scarab+
oh okay i'll do that, thank you
And if you really want to try and download it directly you can go to the github page, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it
hmmm I wonder, if I use new spriter packer AND spritepacker at the same time, can I work on two skins at once and will this be a good idea lets find out
I haven't played with new spritepacker since it got updated. Been meaning to give it another shake since last time I used it, it had a bit of playback lag which kept me clinging to the og.
ahh tysm! this worked 
This seems like a great idea, and nothing can go wrong!
Can't have burnout on a skin, if you can just flip to the other skin 
still laggy rip. New spritepacker hates Chibiterasu confirmed.
New Sprite Packer at least allows Mac users to reskins stuff that CKC doesn't
So that's nice
Yeah. I wonder what's causing my playback problems. It's not like I have a low end computer. Maybe I have too many sprite folders. Lets see if I remove some and direct it to a new location.
oop. Nope. Now it just crashes RIP XD
ok, reset it so it opens again and got it working so it doesn't crash. I'm still going to try to use it even with the lag, because it'll be really nice to keep these two skins in entirely separate folder setups and not have to worry about moving them in and out of sub-folders whenever I want to pack one ...which is what I did last time I was making two skins at once...it was not ideal.
what do you mean don't work on two skins at once that makes too much sense
New Spritepacker is still in dev right? Could some kind of easy system for working on multiple skins be added in it?
Maybe, but at the moment when you re-direct to a new path for sprites, you have to exit and re-load new spritepacker to get it to load them. If its changed to load the new path when you hit refresh, that'd make swapping between skins as simple as just changing the path. I'm gonna keep some feedback notes as I use it, and that's the first note in it.
@ Colette: Do you have like, a notepad file that has the links to skins that have been posted since your last update btw?
Nothing so organized unfortunately Dwarf
Do you mind if I ask what you do have?
I want to maintain a list of skins that haven't made it on the doc yet, and I don't mind formatting it or anything
i just have a discord server that has a bunch of bilibili links
I have various links in with other notes to myself in my discord DM with myself
LOL sorry.
Is this in a way that you can literally copy and paste a big wall at me in a DM or sth?
its completely disorganised and some of the links are Wip that donāt have download links yet

I wish that I wasn't so picky about having an Image to go with posts in the CK Thread on HKModding, because I would have kept up with stuff then, buuuuuut I didn't wanna open my game each time.
I'll think of something

idk when the skin list will be updated but i do hope colette is at least keeping track of the ones neko posts so often
oh wait im blind
lol. I knew that Colette kept all of the info. If she wasn't keeping personal notes with them, then I would have asked if she'd copy and paste it and send it to me 
If anyone has a particular skin that they want added to this list, then feel free to @ me with the link to it
there was a brand new one that was posted like, yesterday in the modding discord.
oh, not even yesterday, it was early this morning <#880165008930140250 message>
yeah that
oh, painting knight def deserves a shoutout, I really like that one too <#917259056270409759 message>
Is it possible to search mods by its tags (ex: search only mods with the tag "Boss"), if not it would be cool...
It is on Scarab+

This must have come out right after the last major update. I thought it was on there already lol
yeah I double checked it. Student knight is on the list, so I think everything above that point is good.
Thx, I didnt know there was a Scarab+
OK dwarf here's some more skins for the list I tripped over while specifically trying to find the lifeseed skin. Couldn't find that one though ;w;

I'm adding them rn! Thank you!
Boom, added
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for the pins, let us know 
With the latest markdown update, we can finally make some improvements that we've been wanting to do for a long time.
The Pale Court pin will become linked-to instead of directly in the pins probably shortly after the next update, after it comes out
next update for it comes out
which btw, we are still working on it, stay tuned folks
do mods disable achievements??
no
thanks
yo can someone help its an issue with scarab
you desvese to be a modding staff
i see
I would not apply for the role, tbh, I prefer to just be a regular member.
Based tbh
Can we get an "unless..."? š
lol. Nope XD
just wondering, does memesong still work? i have it downloaded and enabled, but it doesnt show up on the menu mod list, and looking at the github page doesnt really give me any info
@ simo mod apps when
fr tho i wonder who would apply if he did open them up again
Modding Staff is great, because this is all you need to worry about:
If I wanted to worry about few channels, speedrunning staff would be a better idea
Also out of pure curiosity, why do you follow the 'read before posting' thread?
I can't imagine there is new info in it for you
So that I can do this: #1090079233520451714
If you're not in the channel, then you can't link to it like that
how to download modinstaller 2
modding is on scarab now, mi 2 is outdated.
ok how download
in the pins
where do you find the mods?
thanks
I have a problem installing some mods. It keeps loading but it doesnt end. And i dont think randomizer 4 takes over a hour to install.
Also have the same issue with vanilla map mod
Most fun way to replay the game casually while also trying to make the game not totally modded so that's its uncompletable. I sorta just want a cool modded run where I can still do everything
Having the exact same issue not sure whats wrong with it
If you aren't using scarab+ you should test if that still happens with it
?tag scarab+
Scarab+
This is a new version of Scarab, that fixes many of the problems with the commonly used version, as well as adds additional features (filtering by tags, filtering by new releases, offline mode and allowing you to use shareable download links):
https://themulhima.github.io/Scarab?download
?tag error can also be relevant here
How to fix Installer Errors
š¹ Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
š¹ Make sure that all 4 installer files have been Extracted from the .zip and that the new folder isn't in your Downloads folder. (Extract the 4 files to your desktop)
š¹ Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".
(Note that there will be 4 files only if you used scarab, scarab+ has one)
That really depends on what you like to do, there are mods that add new abilities, new charms, new bosses, many people use custom knight to enhance the game's look, the randomizer allow for a completely different but still completable playthrough, I recommend using the search by tag function of scarab+ to sort the mods according to what you're looking for and having a look at the mods readme's to see what they change
Ok ill try that. For me rn its still installing (before downloading Scarab+)
Is it safe? It says Windows protected your pc
Hi, I need help with more saves mod, the mod doesn't show up in the mods options
Ok i think it fixed the problem
it wouldn't be pinned in the official server if it wasn't
and it's open source, so you can check that yourself
Make sure you installed all of its dependencies, if you did then you should open a post in #1057825333841240104 and provide more info on your problem (you'll find details on what info is useful in https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1090079233520451714, in your case your modlog will probably be helpful)
Ok, thank u
(just fyi not all mods appear in the mods menu, but moresaves should appear there)
@ colette
these are a couple of older skins that I'm about 80% sure havent been uploaded here
would oh had another if the author didnt nuke their account
Where can I find decomaster for 1432?
I cant find it on the github page
earliest update I see is just "1.5.78"
everything before doesn't have a download
Why do you need to be on 1432
Im gonna TAS pomi 2 2
it might not work on linux actually
hm
I got this when I tried the 1.5 version, so I need 1432
Well yeah, because you're on 1432. Do TAS tools not work on 1.5?
Modern unity versions (as far as I know, thats the reason, it might be something else, but something does prevent libTAS from properly functioning with 1.5)
which is kind of scary, because it means silksong might not be TASable
and bc of that
there are no TAS tools for 1432
wher does the Scarab keep the mod data? I reinstalled Hollow Knight, verified integrity and then when I download fresh install of Scarab+ (where I only used Scarab before) it already has the mods installed that I used previously
I wanna try installing it with Pale Court on windows and copy it on the steam deck and run with Proton, since Pale court is broken on linux verison, so if it keeps some data in like %appdata% I'd probably need to copy that too
Mods are kept within the hollow knight folder their data is kept in the saves folder
?tag saves

Okay I got the right version of decomaster
i applied for orange but my application implied that i would be happy with modding staff as well
simo told me they had enough oranges for the wave last year and told me i could be a cog instead and i just rolled with it
what mod lets you see everything on the map?
Vanilla map mod
or
Rando Map mod
do i have to be playing a rando for it to work?
You pick the one that matches what you're doing
Vanilla for vanilla; Rando for Rando
so quick question with scarab to play modded hollow knight we have to open scarab and press play modded hollow knight? just wondering cause im on steam deck and was hoping to play in gaming mode
The Launch Modded was added because a lot of people seemed to expect it to exist; but it's not required to use
?tag steamdeck
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.
Also, just in case you need this ^
Mod Installer 2 isn't used anymore
so for 1.5.68 i will use the new scarab?

yeah there
Yay!
should my first modded run be damage = random room? I prefer those kind of randomisers to an item rando tbh cos it still feels like a normal run then and i can still fully complete the game then
actually the only thing that would be bad about that is id just be scared af half the time of getting hit
is there anything similar to that then?
There's Random Teleport, which I think has a setting for teleport on hit. I don't really think it will feel like a normal run when you accidentally get hit by a tiktik & teleported to Deepnest tho 
(Also you can still fully complete the game with rando, so I'm not sure what you meant by that)
well i mean that with random teleports the entire map and game would be the same
just with teleports
but idk im happy for suggestions cos i really think id enjoy a fun mod
I like doing rando with cursed nail, really changes things up when you cant attack left right and up XD
Rando is my favorite but you've already said you don't want to do that so ... 
Rando is one of the most established mods & has tons of Connections that work with it, and is extremly customizable
I had someone leave a comment on my skin showcase recently too that they had been spoiled for a good chunk of game and that using little rad let them get a little bit of that first experience again because of the dialogue changes. They made me all flittery inside.
Could you give some examples?
examples of what?
Examples of connections? I mean there are dozens & dozens. You can randomize everything down to the individual blades of grass if you want, play co-op in the same world with friends or in different worlds, or even cross-game.
Just something you'd recommend
I mean, this is my usual modlist LOL: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1011190588332310538/1123563658216218715/image.png?width=182&height=666
asking me to pick a favorite rando add on is like asking for my favorite skin - there are too many good ones
If you're asking for help you need to provide a bit more info on your issue, and switch to #1057825333841240104
Colette, if you put journal and progression items together in a pool with the goal of putting progression behind completing the journal, would you consider this an annoying rando or a fairly easy one? Asking for science.
Also at 3.5k hours I have a slightly different definition of what's "fun" in the game LOL My recommendation is to use the Scarab+ search function, you can filter by Randomizer 4 as a dependency, and take your pick from what sounds fun to you - you can read the description for each by clicking on it
Maybe a bit annoying but probably fun - but also I usually turn the required kills way down (like 25% of normal kill count) so completing the journal isn't a complete pain in the ass
Like, I think it would have to be a dreamer or white frag locked behind journal because to complete entries you'd need most if not all other movement. So it's not like I'd have to complete the journal dashless or something
hmmm maybe I'll look into making a plando.
but also
... or maybe the other way around 
Plando could easily be harder than a normal rando that just happened to put something there. Since you wouldn't have to follow logic restraints. (Honestly I have never done a plando because most are too hard for me)
My goal is to be mean, not to be hard XD
Godseeker plus doesnāt screw up any radianceās hp right
Cause I donāt want my attempt to be invalid
you could always check it
How
Look at the healths with debug
hey so I got scarab and additional maps and i wanna try out room teleport when taking damage, which mod is that?
ah i think i found it. random teleport?
Yeah
How do i use more saves mod?
Whatās says that?
Have you read its readme on scarab
Yeah
I know how to change pages but there is only 1
do you have all 4 slots filled on page 1?
No
that's why then. it's not giving you more pages for saves b/c you haven't even used up the first one
Oh, ok then, thanks
Note:
- iirc specifically it wants a save to be in slot 4
- you can force extra pages by adding then from the main menu > options > mods > more saves
If the mod show up in the options one day i will try
Thank u
Okay I checked with debug and godseeker+ actually does lower the health from 4859 to 4259
Anyone know what the correct hp for any radiance is
Cause when I turn off the correct hp button on godseeker+ itās now 4979 instrad
can WeaverCore work on newer versions of unity? I dont think I can access 2020.2 on my current version of unity hub
these are the only ones i can install from hub
aha ok you can access the version online tysm
For the Pale Court mod, is all the new stuff in one general area or is it subtly spread throughout the whole game? I'm trying to decide if I should play it on an existing file or if it would be better to start a whole new file for it.
