ah, im curious as to why its value keeps changing, does it have to do with the nail's base damage?

Is there a mod that makes Hollow Knight suitable for non-gamers? I'd like for a family member to try it, since they loved both ori games, but I feel HK is too hard

dusty saddle
#

Decreases boss health and does some other stuff

carmine trout
#

Oh so that's a real thing

Custom Knight

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

Common issues

  • If your skin isn't working, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this, you may need to use the Reload option in the previous menu.
  • If The Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
  • Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when you have your save file loaded. If you apply a skin from the Main Menu, it will only be used for new files.
  • 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.

so I was testing some animations of my custom skin ingame, but the colors are not really matching with the dark/dull atmosphere of the game, any idea on how to adjust this to armonize?

you could use a darker red on the coat and lighter on the hat? to match a darker theme

#

idk

#

i think its fine

#

like there are light colored mod skins in the game

#

radience etc

pallid pulsar
#

I even thought in adding a layer filter lol

latent bobcat
pallid pulsar
#

like a blueish?

latent bobcat
#

overcomplicating it do do do

pallid pulsar
#

maybe lol

#

that way I can adjust all the colors at once to armonize

#

instead of change each color one by one

latent bobcat
#

anyway W skin

#

lmk when its out

#

are you gonna do spells and everything

#

??

pallid pulsar
#

its my first skin so at first Ill do the basic animations and maybe keep adding slowly more details

#

spells, cutscenes...

how do i import a sprites folder into sprites packer?

?tag spritepacker

fathom wigeonBOT
latent bobcat
#

red plinth
#

new spritepacker does work on mac. But you need to download version in the v0.2.0 release, not the latest release.

vagrant orbit
red plinth
#

no.

vagrant orbit
red plinth
#

V 0.2.0 is the version I use. Latest release is for some reason v0.0.1 and doesn't work at all

vagrant orbit
#

Either way, I'll go update the links in stuff that mention it to link to 0.2.0

red plinth
#

make sure you're downloading the right version too. I believe mac is
sprite-packer_0.2.0_x64.dmg

CKC is also mac compatible, so if you can't get NSP to work, you can try CKC.

vagrant orbit
#

Custom Knight Creator

#

CKC can't work with much outside of the basic Knight sheet

#

so it's not really reccomended overall

latent bobcat
#

does it run animations?

latent bobcat
vagrant orbit
# latent bobcat wait so nothing else?

you should probably just look over the Skin Creation guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zjc8Nh_6u4zBtJ22r_8YunRgP24_1UQBPabFiG8PZ5A/

There is boss sync and MapSyncMod

You should be able to use Breakable Wall Rando and Randomized Levers too. Levers I know has Define Refs specifically to let you sync vanilla levers. Idk if BWR actually supports that

# vagrant orbit You should be able to use Breakable Wall Rando and Randomized Levers too. Levers...

I'm not entirely sure of the requirements for ItemSync to handle unrandomized items to answer the question, but the current version will define the refs only if there's at least one wall randomized, which is already a difference with levers. For future versions the option to have the mod active without randomizing any of the objects will be available, but again, I'm not 100% sure of how ItemSync detects what info to sync or not.

#

Randomiser and its various connections are an obvious choice, pale court has some great end game content and is one of the biggest and most polished mods ever done
hollow point replaces the nail with a gun, lore master, lost artefact, glimmering realm are all other good mods

#

You can check the readme of each of those to see what they do, but you shouldn’t use most of them with each other

You can alt-f4 if it just happened and game hasn't saved (guessing its too late for that) or restore q backup if there is one

#

?tag savefiles

fathom wigeonBOT
#

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

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

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

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!*

Fwiw, don't open up your "Main Save" with Prop Hunt, as it will Overwrite it

So just wait

nimble oyster
#

it says

the skin has been open for a long time, and the conditions for obtaining it can be found in the comment area of the previous little knight skin video

tiny night
#

It means, there’s for challenges

#

You need to pickup two

#

Four challenges

nimble oyster
#

ic

tiny night
nimble oyster
#

is the challenge based on a mod?

tiny night
candid anchor
#

same ngl

nimble oyster
#

one of the challenges is

  1. Precision strike (one) - four-lock pure bone nail does not empty knife combat sisters (tuning level or above), and roar/smash after the last knife.
    Pure bone spikes include flat slashing and sword skills, which can be mixed. Flat slashing to the air or meaningless hitting other items is considered an empty knife, and slashing a frisbee is not considered an empty knife. The standard of sword skill empty knife is the same as condition 2.

idk if its translation errors, but some of that doesnt sound right

tiny night
#

Yeah

#

You need the toggle binding mod

nimble oyster
#

so the challenge is to do sisters of battle with bindings?

tiny night
#

I think that’s one of it

nimble oyster
#

ya it seems like theres more but im not sure what it isfleacrying

tiny night
#

Wait for a min, let me open the computer

fierce flame
#

3 is simply just the flower quest and take it to a nail master (starting in queens garden instead)

nimble oyster
#

ya

fierce flame
#

that one probably the easiest

nimble oyster
#

very weird challenges to say the least

fierce flame
#

better start practicing

nimble oyster
#

it has 3 challenges. one is HK based, one is art, then singing

#

ig it makes it fair for everyone

nimble oyster
tiny night
#

Maybe

#

I don’t remember the challenge is

nimble oyster
#

can u check out the untranslated rules of the challenge and see if that makes more sense? seerpray

tiny night
#

Wait for a min

nimble oyster
#

ok

fierce flame
#

Cheems i miss the old days when twp had easy ways of setting up Challenges for both sides of the communties

nimble oyster
#

😔

#

does TWP not make skins anymore?!

tiny night
#

fight with pure vessel, and must have strenth charm,

fierce flame
tiny night
#

idk how to explain the 空刀 and

#

拼刀

#

it's doesn't hit the vessel less than 5 times

nimble oyster
#

so fight pure vessel using strength, and hit them 5+ times?

tiny night
#

and using nail to hit the pv's nail for 10+ times

#

idk how to explain that

nimble oyster
#

parry

tiny night
#

absence of hitting pv

#

less than 5 times

#

and parry with pv for 10times at least

#

does that make sense?

nimble oyster
#

so the challenge is to fight pv, use strength, parry pv 10+ times, and hit pv 5+ times

tiny night
#

doesn't hit the body

nimble oyster
#

hit pure vessel less than 5 times?

tiny night
#

no

#

idk how to explain that

#

you must hit the vessel every time

#

does this make sense or not

nimble oyster
#

u mean u have to hit PV on every attack, except for 5 at most

tiny night
#

yeah

nimble oyster
#

ic thx grublove

#

how would i send the completed video to the creator grubthink

tiny night
#

send it to me

#

but I need to check it first

nimble oyster
#

does it have to be ascended/radiant

#

or just attuned

tiny night
#

whatever

#

oh, don't forget to show your charm on the video

#

let me translate all four in English

nimble oyster
#

ill just do this pure vessel challenge and the 3rd one

tiny night
#

for 3rd one is send to the any nail master, the starting point is the graveyard in the queen's garden

#

and you can clean the monster after you send flower

#

let me ask her first and if it could, I will tell you

#

or if you can use bilibili to upload video, it might be better

nimble oyster
tiny night
#

k

lean steppe
#

What is happening?grubomg

fierce flame
#

someone wanted to attempt to do any bilibili challenge video for a skin Cheems it just a hassle due to language barriers and also the fact half of the challenges may already be closed for participants

lean steppe
#

I don't understand what "challange video for a skin" means though

fierce flame
#

some skins on bilibili requires you to participate in a challenge setup by the author and you need to submit it to them to gain access to the skin

red plinth
#

I've debated before about doing a challenge for early access to one of my skins, but then the idea of having to deal with people messaging me to collect made me go 'nope'.

fierce flame
#

some challenges are just for fun (easy ones like flower quest to X npc) and some require you to do P5 all binds or under a certain time limit

nimble oyster
#

the latter being the fun ones

fierce flame
#

to you feelspkman

nimble oyster
lean steppe
fierce flame
#

in general

nimble oyster
#

in general

#

some skins are private, just for ppl that beat challenges

lean steppe
nimble oyster
#

however i wonder what prevents ppl from just sending the skin to other ppl grubthink

lean steppe
#

Yeah thats kinda what i was saying

fierce flame
#

especially if you attempt to give it to pirates

red plinth
#

Was gonna say, if I found out someone was distributing a skin I was offering early access to, I'd blacklist that person.

#

Also get stolen from enough times, and the artists will just stop sharing their work at all.

fierce flame
#

which ive seen alot

lean steppe
#

Thats kinda cool but due to it having to be done on bilibili and go through all those checking processes and language bariers i think its pretty lame

#

I just want to use cool skinsgrubomg

fierce flame
#

well we have alot of cool public ones ThumbsUp

lean steppe
#

True

fierce flame
#

||obligatory lil rad skin recommendation||

lean steppe
#

Not that my opinion mattersseerpray

nimble oyster
#

theres lots of good public ones. being a challenge skin doesnt necessarily mean more effort was put in, it just seems that the chinese community prefers to make skins a reward as opposed to public

lean steppe
#

Why wouldn't you want your skin to be seen by more people is weird to me
Still,it doesn't matter

red plinth
#

There are a lot of public skins from the Chinese community too

tiny night
#

But that’s for another thing

#

Whatever

#

Chinese community like to public the skin right now

nimble oyster
#

ic

tiny night
#

Because some reasons, but that’s a kind of horrible things happening during that time

lean steppe
#

@nimble oyster wich one exactly are you trying to get?

red plinth
#

My current skin is a puppers, very exclusive, only 2 copies of the skin exist ||and they're both on my computer||

tiny night
#

So that’s why so many skin were public

tiny night
#

Chinese community like to have challenges and also so many outcomes

#

But right now, might be not

lean steppe

Gg bilibili literally doesn't load on my phonewai

golden lily

Is there any way to recolor the knights cloak without getting that weird outline around everything without having to edit every sprite individually

golden lily
lunar root
#

btw a pack of recolored knight cloaks already exists in the doc

golden lily
#

Im trying to recolor the knight but every time I try, it also gives all the sprites this weird outline cause theyre similar enough colors

#

This iisnt what im working on but its an example

golden lily
lunar root
#

yeah but you could use those as a template and continue from there

golden lily
#

yeah i tried

#

but either the same issue arose or it wouldnt fill everything correctly

#

so id still have to go in and edit every sprite anyway

dense wigeon
#

what are you using for the recolor?

This looks slightly different than some of the other outline issues I've seen with skins, that are usually a white outline that can be fixed by saving in a different way. But you may want to ask in the modding server's art channels as there are a lot of skin makers there

golden lily
#

Im just using a standard art app and overlaying a color layer

#

But using the fill tool to fill all of the color at once reproduces similar results if its the regular skin, and doesnt fill correctly with edited cloak colors

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

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

 PORT:  26951

```ml
Infection Tag

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing mods ⚠️

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

  • "Hollow Knight isn't responding"
    • This isn't actually a crash, you just need to wait and let the game load. This is common with mods that have a lot of Pre-loading (like Pale Court, Enemy Randomizer, WeaverCore, and mods that load a lot of skins/audio).
  • Your game patch doesn't match your installer
    • Modding is now done on patch 1.5.78+, required by all current installers. If you're on Steam, make sure your Beta is set to "None"
    • "Mod Installer" (Zote) and Mod Installer 2 work with version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. Tutorials saying to use these are outdated.
    • There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. For speedrunning mod help, type ?tag 1221 into chat for more info.
  • Something didn't install correctly
    • Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
    • Ensure that the installer isn’t in a .zip file (if you got it as a .zip, you'll need to Extract it)
    • Make sure that the Installer is out of your Downloads folder
  • You're on Linux/Steamdeck
    • Add -force-opengl to the steam launch options.
  • Your game is cracked/pirated hollowpirate
    • Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods aren't considered compatible with pirated copies, which will not get support in the main servers.
    • Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam/GoG/Xbox Games.
    • If you do not have a supported version, please get one and you will get support with modding. Requesting help 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/

i have multiple mods that don't seem to work despite showing up in the mod menu if you pause the game. Those are: Transcedence (see no charm in the one location i grabbed from the spoilers) and Myla-Flower (Can't put down/give the flower)
any advice? the flower mod has all dependencies installed so im a bit out of ideas

Transcendence only adds the charms into a new save file IIRC. Never used Myla Flower so can't help with that one.

what is the skin id?

problem being i made a new save file

and theres no charm her

they do have the reserved slots in the charm menu too im pretty sure

Please don't ping me. The skin ID is whatever you make it, as you'd know if you read the hkmp skins guide which is included in the pinned FAQ

#

hm
yes
the floor here is made out of floor
i am in a new save file, this is annoying af. why'd it not work

#

i see
it breaks if you change anything about your modstack whatsoever
or at least it seems that way, i cant recall uninstalling transcedence

dense wigeon
#

it shouldn't just randomly break, but if you have other charm mods as well they may interfere with each other. Or it's possible you're missing a dependency. If you want to troubleshot the problem make a #1057825333841240104 post with the info requested in the FAQ

Common issues

  • If your skin isn't working, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this, you may need to use the Reload option in the previous menu.
  • If The Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
  • Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when you have your save file loaded. If you apply a skin from the Main Menu, it will only be used for new files.
  • 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.

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.

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

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!*
