hello! how to make 9999 hp for enemies is debugmod in 1.5 ? cant find the button)

If you're able to, then it's probably by opening the EnemyHP panel, and possibly by clicking a button there?

I know that the panel opens on the right side of the screen, but I don't remember if it allows you to increase enemy hp, tbh

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

• Easy Setup Guide (Important to read!)
• Video Guide 🎦
• How to use Skins | Example Image
• HKMP Discord (Dedicated space for finding people to play HKMP with)

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks 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. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Co-op (PVP disabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26951
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Infection Tag
 IP:    tag.hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HKMP Tag and at least three players```
*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!*

[restive jacinth]

got an idea, doubt it'll go far anytime soon, but it's an idea. there's a finite set of rooms in the game and a finite set of abilities the player can have, and a finite set of ways a player can pass through a room. I wonder if I could make a ml model to tas specific rooms with specific ability flags, making for a sort of collection of semi-optimally tassed rooms that you could match together to make a full movie or at least the bulk of it

it's more of a thought rather than a plan, I could make it eventually if I have enough free time I imagine but it could be interesting to see how it's fleshed out

the model shouldn't be too hard to build either since most stuff is fairly linear. could take time to train to make it catch on patterns like spell stalling but it might be possible to eventually have a model that can take a room, an entrance, a goal, and a set of flags as input and a tas strip as output

[muted smelt]

Thanks!

[frigid wind]

is there a mod that allows you to enable all 4 bindings when practicing in hall of gods

i looked at godseekerplus but i didnt see it included in the features list

im trying to practice collector all bindings and i dont wanna play through 30 minutes of bosses to practice once

[dense wigeon]

There's toggleable bindings mod

[valid fern]

omg thank you so much

[stone night]

So once the custom knight mod is added do you just swap through skins in game?

[dense wigeon]

You need to download the skins first, but then yes, you apply the skin in the custom knight option menu

[stone night]

Ah I see

do you just bring up the menu with F1?

[dense wigeon]

No - Pause > Options > Mods > Custom Knight

[stone night]

Ah ok thank you colette btw do you still have that skin list by any chance?

[dense wigeon]

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning The Knight and other things in the game

Resources

• Comprehensive Skin Doc by ColetteMSLP
  • [Known Skins not on the Doc yet](#modding-discussion message)
• Video Tutorial 🎦 by fireb0rn
• [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)

Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

Troubleshooting

Please create a post in #1057825333841240104 for this
You must post a screenshot that shows:

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

How to manually install mods on 1.5.78

• Download the mod (it'll be either a dll file or a .zip that you need to Extract).
• Go to your /Mods folder and create a folder with the name of the mod.
• Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
• Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
• Launch the game.
  Example of an installed mod:

Do i still earn achiviements on steam with skin mod?

[vagrant orbit]

?tag modding cheevo

[fathom wigeon]

Modding and Achievements

• Mods do not normally prevent you from getting Achievements.
  • If you want to prevent them, you can use the Disable Achievements mod.
  • If a mod changes/removes something that's part of an achievement trigger, then you won't get that achievement.
• In many cases, achievements are still earned, but the pop-ups do not come up when modding.
• In some rare cases, players report not getting achievements when modding. While this is not normal, it should be mentioned that it can happen.
  • This is often tied to them doing something like skipping something with QoL (such as credits), and thus skipping the actual trigger for the Achievement.

[vagrant orbit]

Fwiw, it was discovered that some SFCore mods might prevent you from getting them (such as HK Vocalized). That isn't supposed to happen, but it does affect some people

[gloomy tendon]

What in your opinion, is the "cleanest skin"? One that changes most sprites and looks overall clean? One that you wouldnt be suprised if teamcherry actually adds it to the vannilla game?

I just installed my first skin btw, the van gogh one

[dense wigeon]

I don't think TC would ever add skins ro the vanilla game - they're done with updates and it wouldn't fit the lore.

That said top skins with most swaps off the top of my head world be ZagKnight 2.0, Little Radiance, Mimikyu, and Issac Knight. Probably forgetting a few others that are very thorough

[gloomy tendon]

Well yeah, I think so too. I worded that badly.

Thanks for your suggestions

[gloomy tendon]

Is making my own skin as simple as modifying an existing spritesheet?

[dense wigeon]

Yes & no. There's more than one spritesheet, consisting of hundreds of individual sprites

[nimble oyster]

?tag modding spritepacker

[fathom wigeon]

No tag spritepacker found in category modding.

[dense wigeon]

There are some resources in the pins

[nimble oyster]

rip

[dense wigeon]

it's probably under info, but it's also just in pins

[gloomy tendon]

I found the pin

So you need to modify every sprite, then convert them into a big .png with the spritepacker?

[dense wigeon]

yes. If you move forward with making one you may want to join the modding server as there are more skin makers there in the art section

[gloomy tendon]

Sure, Ill join

[lucid thicket]

It seems it landed in the art category actually

[dense wigeon]

I didn't even know that was a category LMAO

I still say categories are a huge downgrade, and the tags that have changed names are equally as bad. Hate hate hate extra steps to do things ("?tag modding manualinstall" is so many more extra keystrokes than "?tag install")

And I like typing LOL

[lucid thicket]

A category which has a grand total of 2 tags

Manualinstall should be reverted soon to install, with reducelag it was faster because I ended up as the owner of the tag when I edited it. I still don't know who changed the names initially though, not a modding staff

I mean, I can create the tag install, but I won't be able to delete manualinstall. I'll probably do it honestly, I'll let a mod take care of the old one. I know Dwarf wants to do a big review of the tags to fix the various issues that haven't been dealt with yet, but it doesn't cost anything to get the tag install

[dense wigeon]

the whole thing just feels like a bunch of changes made by someone who didn't actually use tags, to make them theorethically easier for future people, while making it more difficult for present people actually using them

[red plinth]

I'm less inclined to help too, since I don't want to spam the chat with a bunch of 'tag not found'

[lucid thicket]

Well, ?tag modding install now replaces ?tag modding manualinstall, and I re-edited the tags that I had edited to contain modding manualinstall instead of install

[dim bough]

I'm kind of stupid, does anyone know if i just put the nekomata skin in by itself or with the extra files in the download?

[red plinth]

all of those png files are part of the skin

[dim bough]

do i just put them in the skins folder aswell?

or do they have a seperate one

[dense wigeon]

They need to match the format of the Default skin

[dim bough]

i figured it out, thank you two for helping!

[livid wraith]

do i have to make a “global swap” folder in skins for custom knight if i already have a “swap” (not called global swap) folder but its emtpy aside from “read.txt”

[dense wigeon]

Global would go inside of Swap

[livid wraith]

👍 so i’d just make a folder called “Global” and place it within Swap

wait theres a “Global” folder in the “Dump” folder

do i use that in place of global swap?

it has sprites of the knights stuff but not enemies and stuff though

[vagrant orbit]

Technically, this is partially what happened--
The idea was that tags should be setup in a way so that they are future-proof, especially since who is active on the server can easily change over time.

Categories themselves were actually going to be use initially, but weren't only because they were broken for like 2 years. I didn't even know that they were finally fixed

But yeah, some of the changes were basically made without fully thinking about the people that were actually using them, and we are working to fix some of the ones that were kind of silly in changing (like manualinstall and reducelag).

Ideally, I'd like to also maybe put tags into multiple categories if they fit into each category, that way there's no "gotcha" moments from using a category that makes sense, but just happened to not be the right one for whatever reason.

[dense wigeon]

dump is for getting sprites from the game, not using existing custom sprites

[fast slate]

Hear me out: A mod that gives you the ability to give delicate flowers to more characters besides the Oro, Godmaster and Elderbug

[dense wigeon]

myla flower already exists

some others as well

I believe there's a flower easter egg in HK Vocalized

[fierce flame]

for ||pale lurker|| i believe

[dense wigeon]

if you want to suggest some that don't already exist there's an ideas channel in the moding discord

[fast slate]

I meant more like a single mod that makes you able to give flowers to multiple NPCs, so you don't need to install 6 different mods

But okay

[dense wigeon]

installing mods is the click of a button, it's not like it's hard. I suppose someone might do that but if something already exists it's less likely to just be like, re-made or re-packaged for no good reason.

[fast slate]

Ehhh not for me, I play using the gamepass

[dense wigeon]

... ok?

Literally same install process

[fast slate]

I went to Sheo and got disappointment that I couldn't give him a flower

[fast slate]

Is it? Hollow Knight doesn't use steam workshop?

[dense wigeon]

No, it uses the mod installers in pins. Also ping isn't needed, thanks (I'm literally right here)

[quartz rose]

I was watching fireborns mod video and I cant find map mod s. Did that change?

[fast slate]

[errant lance]

I encourage it #modding-staff message

But for real who tf implemented this shit

[vagrant orbit]

The more active you are in various Discord communities, the more annoying it is to get pinged if it's not important, especially if you Moderate in communities, and thus you need to make sure that you are available to be pinged.

[dense wigeon]

I like my pings to be for things that are actually important, otherwise pings become useless. People overuse pings for stuff that's not important, not time sensitive, doesn't even need the attention of the person they're pinging because it could be answered by anyone, etc. And when people do it repeatedly especially after being asked not to it says something about that person.

🔹 Folder: Make sure your folder is extracted, and on your desktop/subfolder inside your desktop and that there are the 4 files inside that came in the zipped folder.

🔹 Restart: Try rebooting your whole pc and try again opening Scarab.

🔹 Permissions: Ensure your antivirus software, windows defender, firewall, or equivalent are not blocking the scarab program from running.

🔹 VPN: If your scarab files are in order, restarting made no change and the issue persists use a VPN, If you don't already have one, https://1.1.1.1/ is a trusted free VPN.

🔹 Reset Installer: If using a VPN didn't work try resetting Scarab by doing the following:

🔸 Windows
Go to
%APPDATA%
and delete
HKInstallerSettings.json
Then run the installer again.

🔸 Windows Automated
This will automatically delete HKInstallerSettings.json
Download and run : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462200562620825600/842427721065955348/ModInstaller_Reset.bat

It is qol, but when disabling mods make sure to do it with your installer, not in game, because mods disabled in game can still affect the game sometimes, and qol in-game toggle is known to display wrong info in some cases

[fathom wigeon]

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing a mod ⚠️

This error can happen for a number of reasons. Read through all of the common reasons below to see which might apply to you.

• Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used

  • Modding is currently done on patch 1.5.78+, and this is what all current installers require. If you're on Steam, then make sure you are not accidentally using a Beta patch (Beta should be set to "None")
  • "Mod Installer" ( Zote) and Mod Installer 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. If you watched or read something that said to use these, then it is outdated information.
  • There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. If you are looking for speedrunning mod help, then type ?tag speedrunning 1221 into chat for more information.

• Something didn't install correctly

  • Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file (if you downloaded it as a .zip, then you'll need to Extract the files from it)
  • Make sure that you moved the Installer file(s) out of your Downloads folder

• Your game is cracked / pirated

  • Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
  • Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games.
  • If you do not have a supported version, then please get it and then you can get support with modding. Asking for assistance with unsupported versions may result in moderation action.
  • Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/

Well, I am neither, and I need help immediately. I keep getting kicked out of the dream realm where I fight Fierce Dryya in the Pale Court DLC, and I don't know why. It didn't happen with Kindly Isma, so I don't know why it would happen in this instance.

[red plinth]

probably a conflicting mod. Pale Court isn't designed with other mods in mind. pins has a list of mods known to cause problems with pale court.

[rose dagger]

Ah. Thanks!

Would I need to uninstall the conflicting mod, or just turn it off?

[red plinth]

disable or uninstall. Uninstalling is safest (sometimes disabling, particularly if you do it in game, doesn't work right), but either should work.

Starting Pale Court

• Install it using Lumafly
• You must have ||All dreamers||
• You must have ||defeated a specific boss:|| ||White Defender||
• You must then find the location that connects each Knight to the world. You can watch the Launch Trailer if you want directions where to go.

Known problems with Pale Court

• MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LATEST UPDATED VERSION
• AdditionalMaps, Randomizer 4, 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.
  • Alternatively, you can open your user#.modded.json for that file, and edit "atDeployedBench": true, -> "atDeployedBench": false, . You can type ?tag info savefaq for more information.
• 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.

what enemy hp bar do i use

[rose dagger]

It was Additional Maps. Uninstalling that fixed the problem. However, there's another issue, and I don't know whether to call it a bug or a feature. After I beat Dryya, I attempted Pantheon of Hallownest again, and when I got to White Defender, Dryya spawned in and started attacking immediately, shortly followed by White Defender, who froze me in place like usual. I was extremely lucky that Dryya didn't get in a free hit while I couldn't move, but it didn't matter; they both killed me.

I'm more inclined to call it a bug because of Dryya being able to attack immediately and the fact that their names overlapped when they showed on screen. If it is a bug, it's it possible for me to fix, or does the creator of the Pale Court mod have to fix it?

[drifting rain]

How about we can give the delicate flower to Myla, when we do she blushes and thanks you, then when she is mid transformation where she just stands there if you dream nail her she would come back to life, thank you and then stand there until you get on a bench, after you get on a bench she will be in dirtmouth, singing for geo with her helmet on the ground, you can give her 15 geo and after giving her 60 geo she will thank you and you will get the achievement "Thankful"

[scarlet sigil]

There's already a mod to give myla the flower, although I don't think it goes quite like that.

Windows won't let me open the Mod Installer

• If there's a Pop Up that says "Windows Protected your PC", then click "More Info" (on the left), and then a "Run Anyway" button will appear to click.
  • This happens because Windows automatically blocks apps that don't pay Microsoft and go through the process to have their app Verified by Windows.

Installer vanishes after downloading / loads a blank screen

This is commonly because one or more issues:

• The installer was left in a .zip or in the Download folder. (It's recommended to put it on your Desktop or on the same Harddrive as your game installation)
• The installer may need to be run as Administrator (Right-Click it, and select "Run as Administrator")
• The installer is being blocked / removed by built-in security software, such as Windows Defender
• The installer is being blocked / removed by third-party security software (Avast / Norton / MacAfee / etc)
  • If you are not sure how to create Exceptions in your Security software for programs, then you can see this guide or you may need to google how to do it for the software that you use.

Modding and Achievements

• Mods do not normally prevent you from getting Achievements.
  • If you want to prevent them, you can use the Disable Achievements mod.
  • If a mod changes/removes something that's part of an achievement trigger, then you won't get that achievement.
• In many cases, achievements are still earned, but the pop-ups do not come up when modding.
• In some rare cases, players report not getting achievements when modding. While this is not normal, it should be mentioned that it can happen.
  • This is often tied to them doing something like skipping something with QoL (such as credits), and thus skipping the actual trigger for the Achievement.

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks 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.

[uneven fractal]

Shade lord boss fight idea (Or atleast an intro for one):

Picture this: You've just beaten Pure Vessel in the Pantheon of Hallownest and now you stare down the Absolute Radiance. The fight plays out as normal untill she collapses to the ground and the void tendrils wrap around her, normally she'd teleport away and the second phase of the fight would begin. But this time she wasn't fast enough . . . Dragged into the abyss by the tendrils, followed by her scream which ends all too quickly. The abyss rises and blocks out the light, you bring out your lumafly lantern yet you can only see the ground you stand on. Then, you see eight piercing white eyes open, gazing upon you. A dialouge box appears.

"You bear the heart of void little bug . . . But are you truly worthy?"

Boss title card appears:

The Eternal Void

Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

(answered in modding)

[onyx finch]

Why does loading a mod pack in Lumafly uninstall all mods not in that pack instead of just disabling them?

[onyx finch]

It's ok I'll just pin them all

[rose dagger]

That wouldn't get nearly as good of quality, imo.

[onyx finch]

no that doesn't work

[onyx finch]

ok so:
Installing a mod downloads it and puts it in the Mods folder. Disabling/enabling moves it in and out of the Disabled folder. Only mods directly in Mods are loaded. Makes sense. Easy to individually move mods in and out.

Create New Pack copies all the mods currently enabled and puts them in a folder next to Mods. Meaning if a pack is enabled, all its mods are stored twice. If a mod is in 2 packs and is enabled (like a skin mod you always want on), it's stored 3 times.
This could literally be a txt like Celeste Mods instead of taking space for multiple copies of the same mod.

Load Pack deletes the contents of the Mods folder, both disabled and enabled, and copies the contents of its pack into
forcing you to either keep that skin mod copied in every single pack, or have it in a separate pack that you'll Load Without Replacing every single time you open the game with a new mod pack.

Load Without Replacing checks the currently enabled mods and copies all other mods in its pack. It does not check the disabled mods. It could be saving both time and space by moving from there instead of copying.
If you then try to disable that mod, it brings up an error because it's already in the disabled folder, and says it will delete.
Uninstalling it only deletes the enabled copy. Closing and re-opening lumafly is required to recognise there's a disabled copy too, but it thinks it's not from modlinks and needs updating.

Pinning a mod does, to my experimentation, absolutely nothing.

I know that as a non-modder I should be happy that mods exist at all, and I don't need to use modpacks when manually enabling/disabling is fine.
I just look at Celeste modding and wonder why HollowKnight, a game that is older, has more downloads, and more views on twitch rn, has a modloader with such issues. Including the main menu's discord button saying #XAML_InfoLinkDiscord#

I hope I'm just using it wrong. What does pinning do?

[dry snow]

#1154472940063182888 message

doesn't really answer your question but just a little short snippet of why modpacks are so hard to make properly

and to respond to the last part, hollow knight modding has already come a long way since 1432, the main dev of scarab (the original 1.5 modinstaller) doesn't even interact with the community anymore and it lacks a lot of user friendly features that a lot of other modpacks have
which is one of the reasons why lumafly exists at all, as a better alternative with more user friendly and commonly requested features

dont get me wrong, its not perfect and it has a ways to go for it to be on par with stuff like olympus or tmodloader or whatnot but just, be thankful its what we have right now

[vagrant orbit]

Pinning an Enabled mod puts it at the top of the lists.

I imagine the intention of this is for something like Custom Knight, where you might want to be able to quickly press the button to open that Mod's Folder frequently.

It's also possible that the feature is just not fully implemented: The repo is open to PR's for others to contribute, but thus far it's been pretty much entirely maintained by one person who works on it in their free time outside of Uni

[random elk]

This could literally be a txt like Celeste Mods instead of taking space for multiple copies of the same mod.
This is an option. In the settings tab there is a low storage mode which only stores the txt. But the issue with this is all the external assets (like skins) are lost

Pinning a mod does, to my experimentation, absolutely nothing.
yea its interaction with packs is non existent. It was there before packs were a thing and its purpose was to make sure its not accidently deleted and idt theres an easy way to make it work with packs without it showing a big conflicts screen like how git shows when your trying to merge when there conflicts

forcing you to either keep that skin mod copied in every single pack, or have it in a separate pack that you'll Load Without Replacing every single time you open the game with a new mod pack.
Unfortunately as the mods work, the mod external assets (like skins) are stored with the mod. However, the way they are used, they treated as a global asset. What would ideal implementation of it look like? Also tbh the load without replacing doesnt sound too bad.

It could be saving both time and space by moving from there instead of copying.
This cant work cuz then the pack will be lost. So it has to copy.

If you then try to disable that mod, it brings up an error because it's already in the disabled folder, and says it will delete.
This is a bug that was fixed i think. What version of the installer are you on?

[random elk]

What if the new pack has the mod? then that mod will be deleted. So it kinda makes the pack loading random which isn't good

[weak plinth]

Remember when modding on PC used to require a ton of intricate steps that were super confusing and very often people did them wrong? And now all you have to do is press a button. Crazy.

Hi!
Does someone know a simple skin pack that looks good and isnt in different artstyle ad the rest of the game

Like these,with some details but no huge changes.
(Blurring cause late game stuff)

[errant lance]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKfOtOXpYormusD05I700P8d79E74R1bTb3MP4vum-E

[bronze grove]

Thanks

Found one! Thanks so much

[dusty cobalt]

long nail + mark of pride with strength

remaining charm slots can be used on whatever

i used carefree melody i think

[quasi kraken]

speaking of custom skins, i finished my first one

feels good

[quasi kraken]

nothing super special but a more expansive void knight one with webbed and shape of uun and dreamnail things :) not perfect but am proud

[polar panther]

got some picture of it ?

[quasi kraken]

oh sure

what i changed in the main sheet is remove the white outline of the knight :) as well as some dumb choices like having the dreamnail more infection-y

oh and removed the nail lol- changed the wind effects so its darker too, dumb lil changes outside of the actual knight :)

in game it looks like this tho

things like webbed and hornet sprites are also changed so it dont change you back into the og knight

again nothing special, first attempt n used a lot of inspiration from those public void knight

didnt change the hud at all tho, either way im pretty proud of myself

like here the dream nail slash just goes black instead of following through with the orange lol, isnt noticble too much tho :)

[quasi kraken]

last thing; i did kinda wanna make it more void-lord themed tho with the attacks and things- like having tendrils and void rather then the basic slashes but im not skilled enough to try lol

and wings- but just made them black

[dry snow]

I tried to make one then realized how large the files actually are

[quasi kraken]

mhm, its why i wanted to try something "easy" n thought the siblings were just blackened knights but naw still took forever

[dry snow]

the best I can do is change the hue of every sprite but thats not really "making" one

[dry snow]

and it still takes forever

not as long as hand drawing one which makes higher quality skins though

[quasi kraken]

yeah, you can see from mine all i really did was put the lumiosity down on the knight, copy the eyes on a separate layer, and blured everything lol- all except the dreamnail which i did myself. i think eventually ill make a better skin tho :) all the good ideas are taken lol

maybe make a small elderbug lol

[red plinth]

just because an idea has been done before, don't let that stop you from doing your own version.

[dry snow]

I thought you hand drew it tbh

[quasi kraken]

i did with some things :)

there is a void knight one that already is up but i didnt like the weird white outline

[dry snow]

the skin looks WAYYY better then this...

[quasi kraken]

i do like the infection dreamnail i thought it was cool

[quasi kraken]

oml i was actually thinking of making a skin like that lol- make the knight look golden like the gourgous husk

[dry snow]

I have like all the sprites and i am working on making godhome a bit more yellow as well

[quasi kraken]

wish there was an easier way to edit the skins tho, a lot of the sprites are similar but flipped

[dry snow]

but I honestly don't think it's that good it's literally just the default knight but I changed the hue in GIMP

[red plinth]

you didn't use spritepacker?

[quasi kraken]

i just edited the file custom knight gave me when i installed it

lol

i have no idea what that even is

[red plinth]

spritepacker is a tool for skinmakers to make the process easier. It re-orders the sprites so you can work on full animations, and takes care of the flipping for you.

[dry snow]

I did that like 3 times one was a test one was making a true invisible knight and one is the one i'm working on right now the golden one which I'm putting a lot more sprites into I am changing the entire HoG to look cooler

[dry snow]

that would make life a lot easier

[quasi kraken]

dude wHAT/

i legit was like "ok this lil thing has a map ill change that now"

lmao

[red plinth]

I'd post the tag, but I don't know what category its under with this new tag system :/
There are resources in the pins though, just scroll down a bit

[quasi kraken]

I see, i see- :0 maybe another time then, and i can get rid of the rushed blur i put on my void knight

I also tried making a LOST style smoke monster knight that ended terribly lol

[dry snow]

looks cool tbh

[red plinth]

I'm currently working on an Okami skin

[quasi kraken]

yeah but in gameplay it looks more like blotchy static cause i had no idea what animation is what

lol

[dry snow]

This is so annoying I'm trying to make Godhome spirtes look more golden, but the pedestals the statues are on, they are never the right size I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it.

I might just ditch the statues. it would save me a LOT of time and it would also solve the issues

[quasi kraken]

in my experiance making gold things look gold you always gotta use like 4 different shades of gold lol

[dry snow]

yeah gold is always different to different people

yeah I think i'm gonna ditch the statues and just accept the rest of it I mean it's looks okay I guess

[quasi kraken]

are you like me? "its not perfect so you gotta do more"? lol

[dry snow]

Sometimes but if it becomes like too much then I stop you know?

[quasi kraken]

yeah lol

[dry snow]

like the bugs with the pedestals I am just not gonna deal with I don't know how to fix them

I kind of want to maybe add the skin to the skins list but I don't think that will happen tbh

[quasi kraken]

yeah same here lol, until i refine mine i think ill keep it to myself

for now

[dry snow]

I don't think I can make mine any better this is probably the best it will be I just am not good at art

[quasi kraken]

fair

i know i can with my void inspired one

kinda want it more liquid-y

or smoky? idk lol

[dry snow]

I would like show off the skin though maybe I will make a video about it idk

[quasi kraken]

same lol

[red plinth]

that gif needs a flashing warning geeze that hurts the eyes.

[quasi kraken]

i came here for advice n to check out other cool mods

ouch

removed

funny enough there is a charm in the Pale Court mod thar has the exact attack i wanna add lmao- the one with the void whips

[dry snow]

I made a Impossible Hive Mod using decoration master

took a bit and was annoying because I still don't know how to rotate things but I did it

[quasi kraken]

amazing :0

that describes my hk custom knight adventure perfectly, annoying but i did it

[red plinth]

Making skins goes hand and hand with suffering.

[dry snow]

now that I think about it I never tested it out. for all I know it could be actually Impossible

[quasi kraken]

so how does the new sprite packer work, - do i edit the individual files then packthem?

[red plinth]

I use original spritepacker, but they should work the same. Yeah, you edit the individual files (do not change the canvas size, and stay inside the red lines if it has them).

[quasi kraken]

ofc ofc, then we choose the file that has the animation we edited? or well the sprites?

[red plinth]

You point it at the knight folder itself, and the program will see all the files inside it.

[quasi kraken]

oke i think i get it, thank you kit

🫡

if not ill see if i can find a yt tutorial or something lol

[red plinth]

pins has a video tutorial for original spritepacker

good luck with your skin making!

Sprite Packer Info

Hollow Knight Sprite Packer is used to stitch together hollow knight sprites that are split from something like Game Object Dump (GODump). Note, this version of GODump is needed. For non-Windows users, you will need to use New Sprite Packer which is still In development.

yo, why is my defenders crest letting out white clouds instead of brown clouds 🤔

[errant lance]

you installed a mod that modifies the interaction

[dry snow]

okay I have been trying to get it for a while and idk how to get it but how do you get Lifeblood Master and Uuwuu modded bosses working?

[vagrant orbit]

There is a TAS server. I'm not sure if it's linked here at all, but it is linked on the Modding Server (which is pinned here)

[vagrant orbit]

To my knowledge, neither of those were ported to 1.5
@nocturne sky has been working on a re-make of Lifeblood Master, but I don't think that the test build is public(?).
You can find Uumuu Plus ( install ) on the Installers, which is not the same mod, but it is similarly a modification of Uumuu

[dry snow]

oh okay so Lifeblood Master might come back at some point?

[vagrant orbit]

Yeah, it will. Last I saw the remake of it is looking pretty good, but there's some other stuff that the dev is working on with it before it's ready to release.

Heck, they just posted a video of it recently, one sec

Common issues

• Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu (Options > Mods > Custom Knight), when you have your save file loaded.
• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

Troubleshooting

Please create a post in #1057825333841240104 for this
You must post a screenshot that shows:

• Where you installed the skin
• With the directory bar visible
• With the skin images themselves visible

it took some time for the download to start idk why

[lunar root]

The why might be exactly what colette said

[magic cargo]

oh u right

srry im slow

☠️

[nocturne sky]

wrong ping lmao

Oh wait I see the confusion

Buzzbo is separate from Lifeblood Master, which is @swift bison's

We did intend to add compatibility between them but other than that they're completely separate

Redfrog did say they'll be working on a Lifeblood Master 1.5 port at some point but that's up to them

@dry snow you asked the question I believe? So relevant to you ^^^

[dry snow]

Cool

[swift bison]

I’ll try to get to it this weekend

Schoolwork is crazy right now

[swift bison]

Oh, both of my bosses

[dry snow]

what they are cool bosses

[swift bison]

My plan has been to remake some of my boss mods and other miscellaneous mods into a single “pack” mod, but idk if I can do that rn.

[dry snow]

epic

That actually sounds kind of cool.

[swift bison]

I also wanted to use some features of my library mod “frogcore” to make them more known (custom npcs, shops, tk2d animations, journal entries)

[dry snow]

oh you made frogcore? I mean I could probably just check lumafly

actually it does not say who made it.. weird.

[swift bison]

Oh i forgot to add the author property

[dry snow]

finally I finished the skin I was making never doing that again

[dry snow]

well that does not sound good

[swift bison]

Ehhh it seems like several mods don’t

I think it was a somewhat recent addition

[dry snow]

oh okay btw I made a skin is there a place I can share it?

[swift bison]

Sorry, while I’ve made an extension mod for skins, I don’t know that

I think you might be able to share it in the art channels of the modding server

And if that isn’t the right place, one of the moderators will properly direct you where to post it. I guess you could just ask there too

[dry snow]

found what i'm supposed to do

I have a skin I made would it be okay to add it to this list?

[red plinth]

people share skins here, you can just post it here too

[dry snow]

oh

well then

[vagrant orbit]

Not sure what you mean by "the list"?

If you mean Colette's Skin Doc, then she adds and/all skins that are publicly posted when she does an update for it-- she doesn't currently update it each time a skin comes out.

Note that the Skin Doc hasn't actually updated in about a year, but she does have plans to update it again.

[dry snow]

on the list of skins not on the official skins list yet

[vagrant orbit]

Have you posted it publicly yet?

I add skins to that list that have been shared.

[dry snow]

I have a google drive and a unlisted video showcasing it

[vagrant orbit]

So yeah, whenever you post those then we can update lists

Can't really do that if you never post it

[dry snow]

wdym post it you mean here?

[vagrant orbit]

Have you looked at what the other skin posts are?

Like, people won't know that there's a skin, if you don't share that fact

[dry snow]

I have a unlisted video but that all I have to share it with I could make it public I guess

[dry snow]

is that what you mean? sorry I am confused.

do I just make the video public? It's unlisted right now which I guess is not really sharing now that I think about it.

[dry snow]

I made the video public and put a pinned comment with the link to the drive do I just put the video link here?

[red plinth]

Yes, you can post the video here. Like Dwarf said, all the skins in that list have been publicly shared, either posted here or on the modding discord somewhere.

[dry snow]

oh okay

just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing and not wasting peoples time

https://youtu.be/2WzmobBEOLs @vagrant orbit here you go

[dry snow]

Does this list update automatically when someone changes them or do you have to spam the command every time

[nocturne sky]

yeah that's why I assumed at first it was a misping

then I realised it was a misunderstanding

[nocturne sky]

do you want an up-to-date Buzzbo copy so you could add integration?

[tepid arrow]

Hiya, just returned to hollow knight after not playing for about 5-6 years. I just got my friend into it and I wanna start again aswell.

I need help with the top tier mods through Scarab to help me have a great new experience with the game ^_^

[rough shoal]

Do lumafly

[finite rain]

Another mod installer?

Guessing its a mod

[dense wigeon]

It really depends what you want - you can search on lumafly if you're looking for something specific. It's generally preferred over scarab now

[finite rain]

Oh, so should I just remove all the scarab stuff i just downloaded and redo in Lumafly? xd

[dense wigeon]

Lumafly will recognize any mods installed with scarab. Also ping isn't necessary, thanks

[finite rain]

my bad, not used to server stuff.
So I can just keep scarab and it wont interfere with lumafly when i launch the game?

Can already see it's recognized the mods I downloaded via scarab, thanks for the tip

Hi, for those trying to install mods in mac (latest sonoma 14.4), any app (scarab or lumafly) won't open as apple can't verify the developer. I guess we cant mod with this setup or is there any workaround? Thank you.

[fathom wigeon]

Installer cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

• In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open. Don’t use Launchpad to do this, as it doesn’t allow to access the shortcut menu.
• Control + click the app icon, then chose "Open" from the shortcut menu.
• Click "Open".
  Note: You may need to do this twice, as the "Open" button doesn’t always appear the first time.
  The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double clicking it like normal.

wait i just realized

how would hkmp work on bosses

if it's different for everyone

then it's just solo but you can see others?

[lusty wharf]

what other charms am I missing? besides AspyCompanion and Pale Court i dont have any other charm mods

or are they normal mods thst got pushed a tile down?

[dense wigeon]

Enemies can't be synced but you can attack other people's enemies with Ghost Hunter mod to see where they are

[median ibex]

so there would be 2 bosses?

[dense wigeon]

How many bosses there are depend on how many players there are and the state of their world. Also ping isn't needed, thanks

[median ibex]

what would happen if me and my friend started at the same point with nucleus co op

like

on bosses

we could damage eachother's bosses

but we couldn't get damaged by them?

i don't think playthrgouhs are that good with hkmp

[dense wigeon]

You might also take damage from their enemies, honestly not sure but it's probably covered in the hkmp guide

[lucid thicket]

There's a visual glitch that happens sometimes that makes more slots appear than there should be, that might be the case there

[rough shoal]

Looks like they don’t have the pc charms

Or I’m dumb

Idk

[lucid thicket]

Can't really tell given the fact that we see a quarter of their inventory, and those usually appear on the left side

I just thought it might be the pc slots

[median ibex]

1 save for each player on local co op

• If you have White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying the skin in a small/empty room, like a stag station.

Troubleshooting

Please create a post in #1057825333841240104 for this
You must post a screenshot that shows:

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

in other news i might be out of the skin game since every method i used to get skins has been either taken-down or needs payments
oneleaf stopped working because of legal issues and baidu constantly taking down the free accounts.
baidudownloader (the email based one) the Coupon no longer works even with burner emails so unless that changes i ain’t using paypal, the only other method is relying on reddit and hoping someone more lucky then me at being able to make a baidu account can download it for me.

actually it's not really that important I don't really want to use it that much It would be cool but I can do without it

[dense wigeon]

Do you have any right now that you can't get? I think Christopher Bryant, who sometimes can get us qq skins, may be able to directly access Baidu as well? Not 100% sure but if you have a link I could dm and ask. (I also don't think they mind pings for stuff like this but I don't know if they're active enough here to notice)

[fallow thorn]

difference between scarab and lumafly?

[dense wigeon]

Lumafly has less bugs and more features

[fallow thorn]

ty

is it "bad" to have both?

[vagrant orbit]

Yes and no:
Overall it doesn't matter, but Scarab is known to mess updating mods, and if it messes up then Lumafly won't know, and you'll have broken mods for no reason

Like, it would be entirely preventable by just not using Scarab

[modest storm]

does modded hollow knight use the same save as normal game?

[dense wigeon]

[ripe jolt]

with DebugMod my nail sometimes doesn't do anything to enemies, like it doesn't even show any effect on them. Has anyone had a similar bug?

[dense wigeon]

Sounds like you may have accidentally lowered your nail damage. You can see your current nail damage on the left side of the debug menu. You can use the reset option in that case, but make sure to change the bind if necessary so it doesn't happen again

[ripe jolt]

it's not like i don't have damage, it's like the hitboxes are nonexistent

there are no particles and anything

does lowering damage cause this effect?

[dense wigeon]

0 damage has 0 hitbox, you can't even break geo rocks. If that's not the problem (like I said check what debug says) then make a #1057825333841240104 post with the info requested in the faq

oh, you're right i have set lowering nail damage to focus button, sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for help. next time i have a problem i will make a post on the that channel

if im looking for a particular mod, would this place be the right place to ask?

[dense wigeon]

Sure, although the mod installer or google docs mod list would be thr first places

[granite agate]

I checked Scarab (if that's what you mean) but the google docs mod list sounds like a good place to look. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

[dense wigeon]

It's here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FsHZv_GA_ougN6yZ7HXslyTzT1PXfP_nYNNO2IAkBP0/edit?resourcekey#gid=1958593953&fvid=2106924339

(Got from the modding server, honestly not sure if it's pinned anywhere in this server)

[granite agate]

I appreciate it! It looks like it doesnt have it unfortunately. I'm looking for a boss randomzier. I'll head over to the modding dicord and see if they can help. Thanks again for the info 🙂

[dense wigeon]

Oh, that's just Enemy randomizer

Available on the installer (I'd recommend lumafly over scarab)

[granite agate]

Does it have an option for only randomizing bosses? I tried the one on scarab but didnt see a bosses only option.

I'll give lumafly a go

[dense wigeon]

Yes, you can toggle every enemy on or off - whether it is replaced and whether it is a replacement option

[covert estuary]

Lumafly and scarab have the same mods btw so not that you are expecting a difference in that. Lumafly is just more user friendly

[granite agate]

You are the greatest. I'll give it another go and see if I can get it working. Thank you!

I've found what you were talking about but I have one more issue.. the boss names are in slang terms. Like, there is no option for broken vessel and I'm not sure what else it would be called.

[quiet fern]

Are there any mods that let you play around with Hornet’s demo movement?

[fierce flame]

infected knight (the enemy rando channel in modded server has a document of the enemy names)

[dense wigeon]

The ER names aren't slang terms btw, they're what enemies are actually called in the code. I'm thinking Kerr may include the list Neko referenced in a future build, or have the mod use the display names, but it is currently considered still in alpha

[granite agate]

Thank you both for the information! I should be good to go on randomizing the bosses now. I appreciate you all being very helpful ❤️

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

• Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
• You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to 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

Reverting Backups

• Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
• You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

• A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

• On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
  • %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
• For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag saves into chat

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
  • If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

• MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
• QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create 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
• Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

Creating Additional Game Installs
🔹 1. Create a folder anywhere you like and name it something that indicates what that install if for. (Example: Hollow Knight Modded)

🔹 2. Select all of the contents of your "Hollow Knight" folder (this is the folder that contains hollow_knight.exe), then Copy them, then Paste them into the folder that you created in step 1.

🔹 3. Create a new text document in your new install folder titled steam_appid and in that document copy only the number 367520.
Note: You should use something simple such as Notepad to create this. If you have file name extensions showing, the name of document should be steam_appid.txt, if you don't you should only see steam_appid.

🔹 4. Optional: Add this install to Steam as a "Non-Steam Game" so that you can launch it directly through Steam whenever you want.

[steep sequoia]

Weird question- is there a mod that can remove the visual effect when a boss etc. screams (the blurry screen)? I have vision problems that it makes worse and as a result dual Vengefly King messes me up a little both in-game and IRL

I want to go back to trying P5 but when they're like the first boss and hit me with eye and brain scrambling out of the gate it's really discouraging 😦

[red plinth]

You can turn off screen shake by editing the config file in hollow_knight_data
Under Accessibility, you should be able to set CameraShakeMultiplier to 0

[steep sequoia]

it's not the screen shake that gets me- there's a blurry pattern in sort of a bullseye effect around the boss. I'll try it, though

well heck! the blurry pattern still messes with me but it is significantly more handleable without the screenshake, thank you so much!

[hexed berry]

It's from the link in my video

You can just drag the main skin folder into the custom knight folder

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks 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.

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

• Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
• You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to 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

Reverting Backups

• Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
• You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

• A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

• On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
  • %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
• For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag info saves into chat

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
  • If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

• MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
• QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create 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
• Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

wait

do I Dl the save directly in the Hollow knight folder

I beleive those are the saves

[lucid thicket]

that's the correct folder yeah. Name the file the way you want to put it in the slot you want without overwriting your other saves (in 'user#.dat', # indicates the number of the slot)

How does one get mods to work on older patches? Spesifically 1028 and 1114

[covert estuary]

What sort of mods? Cause other than debug there isn't much I think

[distant mango]

Timer mod and custom knight are the ones I would love to be compatible with older patches

Mainly timer mod

Oh and if there where a way to add pop to 1028 that would be great like adding it like a hk map or something

[hearty bluff]

is there some large content mods that add endgame progression/additional gameplay to basic game

[distant mango]

Pale court commes to mind and I beleve there are some mods that adds harder godhome or something

[night quest]

thommie told me to hop on here so here i am

[dense wigeon]

There's no custom knight for older patches, there's a way to add skins in 1221 I believe but it might be via asset swap and to my understanding because of changes made to those even if CK were made for older patches modern skins may not work with it

[lunar root]

I am pretty sure ck does exist for 1.2 but as said the skins arent compatible iirc

im confused on how bingosync mod works

what's the roomID and password?

[unborn dawn]

im guessing it's like regular itemsync and the bingo board is shared differently but dwarfwoot is here and he knows lots

[vagrant orbit]

RoomID should just be the URL to your bingosync room

And the password is what's needed if you set a password to the room

[stable mural]

ooo

thanks g

[high oxide]

if i need, for any reasons, to run vanilla hk and not lumafly, how do i disable it?

[lucid thicket]

There's a "launch vanilla game" button on lumafly, or you can verify your game's files integrity for the same effect

how do i use zagknight

[distant mango]

Does anyone know how to downpatch a mod? I would like 1114 timer mod but it only exists on 1221 and 1028

[wintry patrol]

modding API makes my game not launch

any fix?

[lucid thicket]

That’s something that you should probably ask the developpers who made mods for older patches, who are most likely both in the modding server and the speedrunning server. I don’t speedrun much so I might have missed it, but I don’t recall seeing an api for this version, so getting mods will probably require creating a custom Assembly-CSharp.dll file

?tag crash

[fathom wigeon]

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing a mod ⚠️

This error can happen for a number of reasons. Read through all of the common reasons below to see which might apply to you.

• Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used

  • Modding is currently done on patch 1.5.78+, and this is what all current installers require. If you're on Steam, then make sure you are not accidentally using a Beta patch (Beta should be set to "None")
  • "Mod Installer" ( Zote) and Mod Installer 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. If you watched or read something that said to use these, then it is outdated information.
  • There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. If you are looking for speedrunning mod help, then type ?tag 1221 into chat for more information.

• Something didn't install correctly

  • Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file (if you downloaded it as a .zip, then you'll need to Extract the files from it)
  • Make sure that you moved the Installer file(s) out of your Downloads folder

• Your game is cracked / pirated

  • Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
  • Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games.
