The AnyRad completion scene can be interesting (like the strats found), without the boss(es) being interesting.

That's the same reason that a lot of games that aren't particularly great can have pretty cool speedruns.

[red plinth]

If I knew how to code, I'd make the white lady boss fight that lives in my brain rent free.

[vagrant orbit]

If you ever have it all actually planned out, then I'm pretty confident that a dev would help you make it.

There are a non-zero number of devs that would work on a boss mod, but they don't want to when it would never have art as far as they're concerned.

[red plinth]

The only person I ever sent the attack details to was River.
I even planned out a second more difficult version of the fight XD

[unique kindle]

I was probably thinking way smaller than this, but then again I'm not sure of how small it is or it isn't until I try it out.

[vagrant orbit]

Afaik, you can't really randomize enemy geo without modifying the enemies, which enemy rando already strips them all down into components.

[unique kindle]

Oh, that makes it troublesome indeed and more in the ground of Enemy rando

[willow ledge]

This would be amazing

White Lady needs more love from the modding community!

[lucid thicket]

A custom boss is definitely something I’d love to create one day but given how erratic my working schedule on this kind of project usually is I’ve always felt like I shouldn’t start one given the risk of never finishing paired with the fact that I can’t draw sprites

[red plinth]

My main hesitance is if I did partner up with a dev to make a custom boss, I'd want to partner up with someone I've known long enough to trust. Not gonna just go with someone I've never really talked to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)

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.

Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section above, then please create a post in #1057825333841240104 with the following
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 Take Screenshots
Taking and posting Screenshots makes troubleshooting a lot simpler, and is far more legible than taking a picture of your monitor. For more detailed instructions and options, see https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

🔹 Windows

• Press WindowsKey + Shift + s at the same time.
• Click at the corner of what you want to capture, then drag to select the region, and let go of the click when you have it highlighted.
• In Discord, press Ctrl + V to paste the image.

🔹 MacOS

• Press Shift + Command + 3 at the same time. (Note: you can press 4 instead of 3 to select an area)
• A thumbnail icon will appear that you can click to edit, or wait a moment and the image will appear on your Desktop. You can drag-and-drop that image into Discord.

you think its a double folder? I have a feeling its a double folder.

[keen glade]

are there any good mods that increase difficulty?

I wanna play with the bonfire mod but it feels pretty op on its own

If you're not good at parrying, parryknight will certainly make the game more difficult.

50% chance double folder, 40% chance not unzipped, 10% chance other

moresaves mod

[fathom wigeon]

Custom Knight bug

Affects people using MoreSaves or HKMP Tag
The problem happens when using any mod that doesn't use the original 4 Save File slots. Playing on a file other than the original ones completely breaks Custom Knight as it only expects those four. This not only causes glitchy things to happen, but can also make other mods not work correctly.

More Saves Work around

• You can press the 📝 button on the Custom Knight entry in Lumafly to edit the Global Settings file for it, then add entries to the SkinSave section at the top.
• You need to add 4 entries for each page you have in MoreSaves (so if you have 3 pages, then you need at least 12 total entries)

HKMP Tag

• You will need to Disable Custom Knight when Tag is Enabled, or Tag will not work correctly.

is there any way to sort scarab by most downlaoded mods?

i dont remember if it does but i believe lumafly could have it

[split haven]

I just installed lumafly and can't find it here either

[lunar root]

huh

[split haven]

maybe I'm just stupid lol

[nimble oyster]

iirc lumafly doesnt have that feature

[split haven]

pain

[nimble oyster]

are u looking for some popular mods..?

[split haven]

I guess yeah, playing through pale court rn and also have debug and bench warp installed

Ik randomizers are super popular

played the gun mod a while back

and that's abt all I know abt modded hk

[nimble oyster]

yea those are the most popular, especially pale court

theres other mods like QOL and custom knight that essentially everyone uses

immortal light is a bit popular, at least with radiance mods

it laregly depends on what u wanna do with mods tho

mods that rando players use are a bit different than what a godhome player would for example

any radiance is popular too but... it isnt for everyone

[split haven]

oh yeah that too

[split haven]

uuu what's that

[split haven]

I mean I've beaten the game like probably 10 times over by now kinda just wanna see what the modding community's about

I mod most games I play that have the capability to be modded

[nimble oyster]

https://youtu.be/inH-lOV51FM

slightly challenging radiance mod that became popular for how unique it is

[split haven]

"slightly" lmao

[nimble oyster]

yes. its harder than atomic and ultimatium radiance, but nowhere near other radiance mods mainly bcuz it gives a lot of time to heal in 1st phse and platform phase

[split haven]

why is the community so obsessed with mods that make radience absurdly hard

[unique kindle]

I remember a script somewhere to review most downloaded mods, I remember Custom Knight being on top, and Rando/Pale Court being among the most downloaded ones

[fierce flame]

why not

[split haven]

makes sense

[split haven]

bcs they could be working on content mods instead smh smh (I'm jk I know how hard that is)

jokes aside though I'm surprised there's not more content mods

[nimble oyster]

its the hardest boss in the base game, so naturally ppl make it harder and harder

[split haven]

like the game is very popular and doesn't seem horribly difficult to make custom bosses

[unique kindle]

We need Any Gruz Mother being the hardest boss in the universe

[split haven]

gruz mother but 5x hp and 20x speed

[unique kindle]

And with chainsaws and guns

[fierce flame]

it ground slam sends like 20 shockwave attacks

[split haven]

TRUE!!

[split haven]

that do triple damage

god we're cooking so hard rn

someone should turn this into a mod

Running the mod ranking script rn, will post results in a while

[fading ember]

in HKMP is there an enemy sync?

[split haven]

bet, preciate it

hi

[dense wigeon]

If you think it's easy you're welcome to try LOL. But dealing with FSMs is very complicated and for any new boss you're looking at weeks to months just for the spritework.

[rotund prism]

Hi

[silver kestrel]

hey could someone give me a high quality png of the hollow knight cursor? i can't seem to find it in the files

[stuck bridge]

guys, I am currently a programmer in training. And I was thinking, would it be possible to teach an AI to play hollow knight from beginning to end without human input. And how would I 'reward' the AI so it learns? I am also doing my first playthrough rn I was sent here from #hk-discussion because it's more tech

But rn I'm going to the gym so I won't answer until I'm home in about 2-3 hours

[dense wigeon]

It would be challenging, for sure. I'm no programmer, and ai is gross imo, but hk has a lot of rng so you'd have to train it to make actual decisions. Completely aside from if you mean a speedrun (routed) or emulate a casual playthru (ai finds it's own route)

[stuck bridge]

I would recon let it figure out it's own route

I would think you would reward it with how much things it collects

like a charm is +1, a grub is +1, etc

[unique kindle]

I think it can be possible. Also it probably is quite hard to pull off, even for an experienced team. The game is complex enough to make it very painful to build a self-learning AI that manages to get to Forgotten Crossroads, let alone have it understand what's more important to do than what, even if you manage to give out parameters or a given route.

[stuck bridge]

oh yeah, the beginning doesn't really have items to collect. so it will indeed be quite hard to even reward the AI in the beginning for doing the right thing

and if geo is a reward it can get stuck cycling 2 rooms for geo

But I'm only in my first year and this would be a project for when i am done with college lol

[rotund prism]

Hi

[uneven spoke]

It seems kinda hard as the number of decisions before getting a reward can be huge

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.

I have been attempting to make my first custom skin for hk, and wanted to do yi from nine sols. Damn you knight for your giant head

[light igloo]

not one that you can cheese, buddy

[candid anchor]

Okay buddy

You’ve been hiding in the shadows and this the first thing you say 🗿

[torn hull]

does anyone know why when using the enmy healthbar mod, exclusively to the radiance and absrad fight, they seem to die with a lot of their healthbars left? im guessing that it has to do with how they preciously had more health but in the end i dont see how that would affect anything

[candid anchor]

Absrad has health left in the final phase for whatever reason but that’s not a bug or anything

When you enter the climb phase of absrad, the boss heals up a bit for the final phase

Final phase doesn’t end at 0 hp for some reason

So therefore when you beat it, some hp is still shown on the hp bar

You can also double check this with the debug mod

thanks so much

[pearl stone]

hello

is there a mod that will allow me to "fly" in case i get trapped in a room on randomizer ?

tp slightly up or slightly left kind of thing

[lucid thicket]

The logic expects you to be able to warp to benches you already sat on as well as to your starting location, which is why benchwarp is a dependency of Rando 4, to avoid softlocks

[pearl stone]

well yeah but the closest bench is too far and i saw skurry have a mod where he phases through a door to get through soo ive been wondering the name of that mod

[weak plinth]

So you just want to break logic?

Debug has that function. But I would encourage you not to use it.

[pearl stone]

why not

[weak plinth]

Because you could be breaking the randomizer logic. Which kinda negates a lot of the point

[pearl stone]

i just happen to have fallen in a hole that my jump isnt high enough to get out of

[weak plinth]

What hole

[pearl stone]

in city storeroom on the left of where you need to break a chain to access stag

[dense wigeon]

Pogo

Either one of the enemies or one of the background objects

[pearl stone]

i killed everything before finding out i couldnt get out

either way i tpd out now so

[dense wigeon]

And broke all the background objects?

[pearl stone]

yep thats like my first instinct

[dense wigeon]

Bad instinct for rando lol. At least until breakable object randonis out

[pearl stone]

ill keep that in mind

[weak plinth]

I've been out the game too long. I can't think of what room this even is

[pearl stone]

there is a check there

city storerooms where when u break the chain a crate falls down and u can access the stag

to the left

[dense wigeon]

City lvl 1 grimmkin room

To the right of the big elevator with the toll

[weak plinth]

Yeah I picture it now. Forgot about that box

[rotund prism]

Hi

[young wing]

bro this rando seed is amazing, my only charm above 4 notches is heavy blow and I never use it anyway

my only charm so far*

also, hiveblood and flukenest are 1 notch while kingsoul is 2

quick focus is also 1

[green nimbus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/3
I was looking at the recharmed mod and while I agree with most of the changes (especially the buff to joni's blessing that was provided) Does flukenest REALLY need a buff?

[lucid thicket]

That mod hasn't been updated in almost 3 years (but nexus isn't really a good place to find hk mods, as it's not where the maintained mods/installers are), flukenest's lingering hitboxes were probably discovered later or the mod's author wasn't aware of that

[green nimbus]

That explains a lot, but I do kinda wanna revive this mod some day
At least whenever I get hollow knight on pc

(I am a switch player. rip)

[dense wigeon]

The flukenest cost is just a reversion, that's what it costs in 1221 IIRC

[green nimbus]

I know it was a reversion, but I think flukenest is in a pretty good spot in vanilla, tbh

again, I kinda wanna do a revision of this mod some day

Because I find 4 being the new most expensive cost a super interesting charm meta

[vagrant orbit]

There's a mod called CharmChanger which iirc lets you easily adjust the costs of any charm, among other things

[gray drift]

hi i just wanted to play hk again after many years, but as i see game has been updated and now blackmoth mod no longer available. are there other new mods that totaly change gameplay like redmoth or blackmoth? also how do i revert version of the game to 1.4?

[minor hawk]

Oh wow, old timer, those are old mods indeed

As to revert, steam lets you do it easily, from there you can use moddinstaller like you used to

?tag steambetas

[fathom wigeon]

Verify that you are using the correct installer and patch!

• For normal modding you should use a current patch installer (such as Lumafly or Scarab) and you must have Steam Betas set to "None"
  • Pirated copies / Unofficial ports are not supported
• Modding on 1.4.3.2 using "Mod Installer" / "Mod Installer 2" is no longer supported.
• 1.2.2.1 Modding does not have an installer.
  • You can type ?tag 1221 for info on it.

How to check your Steam Beta options:

[minor hawk]

As for new mods to try
Pale court is definitely up there, I would also recommend glimmering realm, lost artefact, maybe parry knight, that one is fun

[gray drift]

thanks! also when i played all mods downloaded without installer)
when i seen mod installer, mod installer 2 and scarab it confused me a little

[minor hawk]

(Though don’t use all at the same time :p)

[gray drift]

thanks a lot!

[minor hawk]

Yeah it’s not that hard
It’s even much easier than manually installing
Lumafly is for current patch, moddinstaller two is for the old patch

Technically speaking, there was at least one installer then, since the creator of some of the original mods also created an installer (the name of which I've forgotten).

But afaik using an installer wasn't common until a bit after "mod installer 1" was created.

• 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.

Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section above, then please create a post in #1057825333841240104 with the following
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):

Verify that you are using the correct installer and patch!

• For normal modding you should use a current patch installer (such as Lumafly or Scarab) and you must have Steam Betas set to "None"
  • Pirated copies / Unofficial ports are not supported
• Modding on 1.4.3.2 using "Mod Installer" / "Mod Installer 2" is no longer supported.
• 1.2.2.1 Modding does not have an installer.
  • You can type ?tag 1221 for info on it.

This channel isn't for troubleshooting. And you haven't provided enough information to even start figuring out whats wrong

[red plinth]

the point of #1057825333841240104 is to provide modding help. The size of the problem isn't important.

[raw stirrup]

For anyone who has worked on custom knight, or knows how it actually works, how transferable would it be to other games? Im in the nine sols modding discord, and we're trying to figure out how we would do custom skins for nine sols, so im curious if custom knight would work as a base to build on

[dense wigeon]

You might have better luck asking this in the modding server. But the custom knight code is public on github, if there are active nine sols modders they can just look

[raw stirrup]

[knotty egret]

Hey I'm using benchwarp and three of the benches are auto unlocked. God home. Hidden station and colosseum. How would I lock these until I reach them for the first time.

Also when I warp I lose all my soul 😦

[vagrant orbit]

By default, all benches are unavailable until you've sat on them with Benchwarp installed.

The only reason I can think of that you may have experienced it differently, is if you had previously had it installed, then removed it and started a new file without any mods installed, then reinstalled mods, since this could result in old mod data floating arpund still.

[vagrant orbit]

This is how it works, yes. Benchwarping is equivalent to if you had Saved and Quit at the bench you are warping to, and that removes your soul.

[knotty egret]

That could have happened. I guess there is no way to disable a bench warp once found?

[vagrant orbit]

You can delete a save's modded data, or edit it if you want. Most mods are meant to be used from the beginning of a file, so you kinda just did stuff in a weird order.

?tag savefiles

[fathom wigeon]

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/

[knotty egret]

Thanks I'll try to read through this and see

[robust tree]

How do you use RandomCompanions?

[dry snow]

What are the randomizer 4 addons

[lucid thicket]

Use Lumafly's advanced search to search by dependencies and integration and select randomizer 4

[dry snow]

Will settings rando randomise upon beginning randomisation?

[unique kindle]

Yes, it shuffles Rando 4 settings (not connections)

[stuck bridge]

what mod allows for more saves than 4?

[willow ledge]

Is there a mod that adds regular Sealed Vessel and Radiance to the Hall of Gods?

Excellent, thank you!

[dry snow]

how do you access a mods directory? i want to exclude stuff from RandomiserSettingsRandomiser but i dont know how to open the mods directory

or more accurately where the mods directory is

[dense wigeon]

Assuming you mean the mods globalsettings Lunafly has a button to do so

[dry snow]

in the readme

[barren shore]

h

[dense wigeon]

Otherwise if you're on scarab, it's in the same folder as your saves. Or if the mod has some other configuration that may needs to go in the mod folder which I'm pretty sure lumafly also has a button for

[dense wigeon]

That not really common language & it's hard to tell without context if it just means the mods folder but if you need more help make a #1057825333841240104 post

[vagrant orbit]

On the side of your installer, there's a 📂 to open your Mods folder

Lumafly has an extra button on each mod's entry to open the folder for that mod specifically

[dry snow]

is a .txt file just a text document? (it says text document as 1 of the options when i right click inside the mods' folder

[fresh robin]

What mods y'all recommend me?

I just 110'd the game and wanna start another save with mods

or continue mine but with mods

[dense wigeon]

Without knowing you or anything about you, I'd suggest browsing through modlist yourself. If yhrtes something specific that interests you, like custom bosses or something, you can search by that

[fresh robin]

I'd just like something that would extend the game a bit more ;p

[dense wigeon]

Ping isn't necessary thanks.

Not really sure what you mean by extend the game?

[fresh robin]

Like add more parts to it

more areas to explore smth like that

[dense wigeon]

Not really many mods that add areas. You can check the expansion tags but adding actual new rooms is rare, let alone entire areas.

There is decorations master which allows custom maps, those are based in existing rooms tho.

[fresh robin]

how do u look for expansion tags?

[vagrant orbit]

In Lumafly, the top-right area has Search Filters

[fresh robin]

Oh I use scarab haha

guess imma use lumafly then

[dense wigeon]

Yeah, actual search options is just one of the reasons lumafly is better

[fresh robin]

okay

[mortal rain]

boredom is me

[unique kindle]

Pale Court is likely the closest thing to an extension of the base game you'll probably find

For new playthroughs, I recommend randomizers, that makes you relearn the game entirely.

Where is the entrence to pale court?

[lucid thicket]

?tag palecourt

[fathom wigeon]

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 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.

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).

I have scarab downloaded, and installed the enemy HP bar, but when I opened the game the mod is not there. any idea how to fix it?

Scarab is known to mess up mod installs sometimes, which is one the various reasons Lumafly is recommended over scarab now

?tag lumafly

Lumafly (formerly known as Scarab+) is a mod installer for 1.5 based on Scarab, but updated based on community feedback to fix problems that commonly occur in Scarab, as well as adding additional features.

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.

Custom Knight bug

Affects people using MoreSaves or HKMP Tag
The problem happens when using any mod that doesn't use the original 4 Save File slots. Playing on a file other than the original ones completely breaks Custom Knight as it only expects those four. This not only causes glitchy things to happen, but can also make other mods not work correctly.

More Saves Work around

• You can press the 📝 button on the Custom Knight entry in Lumafly to edit the Global Settings file for it, then add entries to the SkinSave section at the top.
• You need to add 4 entries for each page you have in MoreSaves (so if you have 3 pages, then you need at least 12 total entries)

HKMP Tag

• You will need to Disable Custom Knight when Tag is Enabled, or Tag will not work correctly.

[storm lagoon]

can you transport Mod on sd card to switch>

[lucid thicket]

No, the modding api doesn't have a console version, and without it you won't be able to mod. There are resources to edit your skin on switch but that's pretty much everything that is possible on that platform, and you won't find that here, that's something you can find in switch modding communities

The amount of masks is stored in your save file, so removing mods won't solve your issue, you'll need to edit your save back. There are various ways to do it, see the message below:

[pseudo dawn]

A while ago I asked if there is a program that helps making sprites for Custom Knight consistent, so that they don't appear, well, inconsistent

Back then I was redirected to the HollowKnight.SpritePacker, which while looking reasonably useful, doesn't help that much

so I was wondering if there is perhaps another mod or tool that could be useful

i believe thats still whats used

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 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879133769070706698/889708343793442886/GODump.zip . For non-Windows users, you will need to use New Sprite Packer which is still in-development.

[nimble oyster]

there is a guide linked

which has lots of info

so u can see if anything there helps

[pseudo dawn]

I've seen it

it's not what I imagined, but I'll count my blessings

[nimble oyster]

wdym by 'inconsistent' anyway 🧐

[pseudo dawn]

well I still have to edit every Knight sprite

I want to make sure that the edits I made are consistent, if the Knight has the same pose

[nimble oyster]

yeah youll have to edit every sprite manually

[pseudo dawn]

also, can CustomKnight be used to edit Nosk's sprite?

I couldn't find Nosk (and all other enemies, except Hornet or Shade) in files

[nimble oyster]

theres skins for lots of enemies and bosses (like nosk), so yes

i dont make skins so idk how u would do any of that but its possible

when u say edit, do u mean make a skin, or implement it in the game?

[pseudo dawn]

a skin

god, this is gonna make me appreciate the heck out of HK and SS once it comes out

[dense wigeon]

There's a dump of all the game sprites in pins. Dumping them yourself is also covered in the linked guide

[dense wigeon]

Also I'm not sure how else you'd think it would work, other than editing every sprite?

[pseudo dawn]

like the program would search for patterns of the knight, so instead of editing every sprite, you would only need to edit every pattern

like ctrl + f with images

[dense wigeon]

I mean, sprite packer will identify dupes.

but if the pose is not the same, it can't be re-used

Most skin artists I think do keep some "default" angles of their characters head and other things, to copy/paste onto different sprites

but again, I think that's all covered in Kit's guide

The file is a rando with another person will this work with them still in?

[dense wigeon]

it won't give it to you both if that's what you mean.

but also if i t's rando, why are you trying to give yourself stuff out of logic?

[dry snow]

Bc I've had all charms this entire time and I've known abt it but I've kept it on cause I won't have every charm he picks uo

[dense wigeon]

that sentence makes no sense to me

[dry snow]

This problem wouldn't have happened if I had known that I had all charms on from the start instead of when I picked up the first charm

And it's only a problem now bc he picked up grimmchild and it's a room rando and I don't have grimm's tent

[dense wigeon]

honestly not sure if simply removing & re-adding grimmchild will fix that problem. You can try but you may need to make a #1057825333841240104 post

[dry snow]

can i remove grimmchild on its own and re add it on its own?

[dry snow]

which method do you use for charms?

[covert estuary]

Any except debug work

What is royal charm state?

Is that the kingsoul level?

[pseudo dawn]

is there a mod that allows absolute control over the game? or something that would let me text if the King's Soul charm animation works properly with my skin

Not sure what you mean by texting, but the mod that grants the most game control is DebugMod.

Correct

Why does the sprite of a charm differ here

[vagrant orbit]

The game uses a lot of different sprites for KS/VH for some reason. The most recent CK update may have allowed the extra ones to be reskinned, but I'm not completely sure. I don't think that any skins have made sprites for it anyway

[pseudo dawn]

updated version did change how the image files were stores in folders, but didn't fix this particular issue

it's also weird that it works with other charm I have skinned

[pearl stone]

Hey! i wanted to get some skins for the knight and ive been looking through the list of available ones but i didnt see any relating to lobotomy corp/limbus company/library of ruina, i was wondering if there were any?

Damn alright thats a shame, thanks for the help

[cerulean schooner]

You can make one yourself if youre that masochist

But say goodbye to your family and frends because you wont see them for a very long time

[fierce flame]

for what its worth there was a public one i attempted to get at one point but the author nuked their account before i had the time to download and it was only nail arts and not a reskin for the knight

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1od4y1N7iq/ this is the only video i could find of someone using it after

yo i need help

my mods arent working

[nimble oyster]

cant rly do much with that

[plush knot]

Ollow knigh

[nimble oyster]

did u open the game via the "launch modded game" option

[unkempt ingot]

may i ask how to do that?

[plush knot]

Did u click the right button or the left one

[nimble oyster]

on lumafly, under the "info" section, theres 2 options at the bottom of the menu. one of them is to open the modded version of the game

[unkempt ingot]

ah thank you so much

also whats the best way to use the timer

[dense wigeon]

Depends what you're trying to time

[unkempt ingot]

you right

i got what i want it to be now

sorry for the trouble

[pearl stone]

good evening , i was wondering if there is a mod that makes most bosses harder or add new mechanics and movesets

[nimble oyster]

there are mods for specific bosses that add difficulty to them yes

someone is currently working on a mod that changes every fight in various ways/adds difficulty (idk the extent of it tho, ive just heard abt it)

for specific fights, theres crystalblobbles for example that make oblobbles harder, corrupt kin that makes lost kin harder, etc

[pearl stone]

ohhhh cant wait

thank you

[unique kindle]

For new mechanics I guess you can try out CelesteDash.

[nimble oyster]

i reccomend any radiance 😄

[pearl stone]

i will accept that challenge

[nimble oyster]

[pearl stone]

cool i will sounds exciting especially since i played and finished celeste

[nimble oyster]

153rd victor?!

[pearl stone]

what is that

[nimble oyster]

152 people have beaten any radiance currently

[pearl stone]

OH

DAMN

why u gotta stress me like that

[nimble oyster]

tbh it could be a lot higher but ppl usually dislike the fight

[pearl stone]

my biggest flex in hollow knight is beating every boss including absolute radiance on radiant difficulty (except morkoth that guy can go wet his pants)

[nimble oyster]

good job

[pearl stone]

im not weird for finding morkoth near unbeatable hitless

[unique kindle]

Not really, Radiant Markoth is def a top 3 of vanilla radiant bosses with GPZ and AbsRad

I believe it's the not on doc list

[vagrant orbit]

That will happen when you set your max charm costs so low lol

[dry snow]

Wait

Theoretically if

You run Hollow Knight on a server and then connect to that server from client side Hollow Knight

Wouldn’t it be better?

[vagrant orbit]

That's what hosting HKMP is.
It doesn't magically fix anything, because the game wasn't coded to account for multiple players.

[dry snow]

Another thing HKMP connects to a server but the save is still client sided, what if instead of the save being on the client side the clients instead connect to the save on the server side? Would that solve the issue of enemies and progress being different even in multiplayer servers?

[vagrant orbit]

The issue has never been not knowing how to implement it

The issue is that Hollow Knight was in no way coded for that to be very feasible. Everything in the game has to be re-coded to make it work.

[dry snow]

Oh alright then

[dense wigeon]

Also, only enemy fights can't be synced. Progress can be via Itemsync & related add-ons

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.

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOO

IT WORKED

[odd smelt]

guy i have a question where can i find mod instaler 2 ?

[lunar root]

Why do you want mi2?

[nimble oyster]

that isnt used anymore. lumafly is used instead

[lunar root]

Yeah its outdated

[pseudo dawn]

idk who to address this to, probably to Kit, but idk who that is, but in the "Kit’s Guide to Creating Custom Skins" I can also recommend Paint.net as a free image editing program that handles transparency

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint.NET

[dense wigeon]

Kit is HBKit. I haven't read the whole guide as I'm not a skin creator but she may not have suggested programs she hasn't used personally

The general rule is you can use any art program you're comfy with, as long as it supports transparency.

[pseudo dawn]

I get that, just I find this more clear for inexperienced users than for example Gimp

[red plinth]

yeah the ones I have listed in the opening paragraph are all ones I've used personally. Krita is my favorite. But I can add paint.net to the list.

[nimble oyster]

thanks guys

[red plinth]

Thommie you were so fast with that XD

[nimble oyster]

the commissioned skins are public?

[red plinth]

yes.

[nimble oyster]

why

[red plinth]

So anyone can download them.

[nimble oyster]

well yeah

i thought they were private tho

[covert estuary]

I remember looking at it thinking I would maybe commission something but then remembered I do not have the money to spare for that lol

[nimble oyster]

mainly since youd be paying hundreds of dollars for it

[red plinth]

You're paying for the time and work. Having the art be publicly displayed doesn't change the hours required to create the piece. I usually publicly post commissions, whether they're skins or just single art pieces. It's also the best way an artist can advertise - sharing their work.

[nimble oyster]

[red plinth]

Plus since all my skins are public, you won't get any sketchy people selling the skins privately

[nimble oyster]

ic.
i just thought it was common for commissioned skins to be private

[red plinth]

I don't think commissioned skins are very common tbf XD
I know one of the ones on Colette's list was a commission done by failed vessel though (croissant dog)

The commissioned skin I did is labeled as 'commissioned' in my skins list, but is also public.

[nimble oyster]

-#

so u just need a reference for the art?

bad question iirc.

do u change stuff after its done that the person commissioning it might not like, or is the art 'final' by that point

[red plinth]

For skins, I don't start the skin seriously until the first sprite gets an ok from the client. So I send a single sprite and edit it until they give the thumbs up. For finished drawings I'm usually willing to do a few minor touch ups, but anything drastic, or if someone came back months later asking for changes, I'd charge for.

[nimble oyster]

thx for the info.
i might try to commission a skin soon. i think i said that b4 tho. a little indecisive sometimes

[lusty shore]

Hi

Can anyone help me make sprites in Pixel Art or Godot into a game in 2D Metroidvania style?

little please

[dense wigeon]

Help like that is unlikely to be free.

[pseudo dawn]

Before you start drawing your skin, take a look at a sprite’s file name. Every sprite should have a name that looks like xxx-yy-zzz.png, with X being what animation it belongs to, Y being its position in that animation, and Z being its sprite ID. The sprite ID is important, as any sprite that has the same ID, regardless of what animation it belongs to, is a duplicate and uses the same sprite on the sprite sheet.
Is that real
Because 020-00-112 is dead Knight sprite (the broken mask)
but 022-06-112 is Knight sitting next to Quirrel

am I massively misunderstanding that?

I probably am

[red plinth]

you're looking at 2 different sprite folders.

[pseudo dawn]

so that Z rules only applies within 1 folder?

[red plinth]

All 112 in 'knight' will be the same. All 112 in 'quirrel' will be the same

[pseudo dawn]

ok

I have seen that you do commissions of the Knight Sprites for $500

and I must say

I applaud you for being that humble

[lucid thicket]

I think that's a feature of GodSeekerPlus, if I'm wrong you'll need to edit your save

[lucid thicket]

That's weird, the gameObject exists but stays disabled no matter the settings, I guess you'll need to edit your save then

?tag saveedit

[fathom wigeon]

Editing save files

You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.

• MoreSaves Mod | Install
• With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the in-game Menu. Either from the Main Menu or Pause Menu, go to Options > Mods > MoreSaves to edit save files in game.
• QoL mod | Install
  • If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called user#.json (where # is the file number), which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information
• DebugMod | Install
  • 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
  • Find the Save File, upload it to the website, and make the edits. It will Download as save file for Slot 1, so rename it if needed. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information

[dense wigeon]

some things in Godseeker Plus require that you fully exit the game & reopen it for the change to take effect

[digital gale]

Does anyone play a classic multiplayer mode? a save from 0 private until zero
If so, DM me or tag me :)

[dense wigeon]

you'll have better luck probably in the hkmp server

[lucid thicket]

That doesn't seem to change anything in this case unfortunately

[vagrant orbit]

iirc the GPZ toggle is kinda complicated

I think the menu option enabled a different toggle?

Oh that was mentioned already

I thought you had to enable the switch, then restart the game to see it

idk about restarting after using the switch tho

[lucid thicket]

What's weird is that after a quick search in the modding server the only mention of this that I've found is criticizing the fact that it's a toggle for another toggle, but doesn't seem to say that it's not working. The mod hasn't received an update since then, and the modlog is absolutely clean

[vagrant orbit]

yeah, it seemed to work for the other person afaik

Hello HK discord, haven't modded the game in over 2 years and I'm trying to play co op randomizer with a friend, is there anything that's changed much with setting it up/running it?

my memory is hazy

but I'm assuming I still need to use zero tier one and some version of multiworld item sync or whatever it's called

also do I have to be on version 1.4.3.2 or does all this stuff work on current patch now

[unique kindle]

Greetings! I'm new enough not to know past settings but:
-Randomizer 4, the current rando version, works on current patch.
-ItemSync is the mod that lets you sync progression.
-You can add Scatternest if you want to start in separate spots and clear different areas at once.
-Several additional content has been randomized over that time period, included in multiple additional mods (connections). Feel free to explore those too.

[nimble oyster]

piracy isnt rly supported in the modding community and ive never seen colette help a pirate so i pointed it out

seems like it was an accident tho, based on colettes response

[dry snow]

[eager rapids]

you guys are so rude

[nimble oyster]

it isnt rude, nobody has to help you

[eager rapids]

As a general idea, Discord's terms of service go against piracy altogether. Furthermore, the modding community is fond of the game itself and supports TC's efforts by not encouraging piracy.

The idea is explained on the tag, but by no means people are trying to be rude about it.

?tag pirate

[fathom wigeon]

**If your game is cracked / pirated **

• Piracy is not supported in most communities for games (including this one), 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 community servers for them.
• Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games. (Console versions, and unofficial versions are not supported)
• If you do not have a supported version, then please get one and then you will get support with modding the game. 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/

[eager rapids]

yea maybe you are right but they acting like if i have pirated game i am no one

and i should be bullied or somethin like that

like i am nothing

[lunar root]

Im sorry but when did that happen? Anika only pointed out what she thought was strange behavior from colette because it simply was something she doesnt usually do, never were you refefed to as a nobody or insulted by either of them

[unique kindle]

Yeah that's not the idea here and try not to take it personal. I'm sure no one here knows much about you and as soon as you get the game everyone will be glad to help. Comments are against piracy itself, not the user.

[eager rapids]

you guys wasting time

[lunar root]

Yeah we dont mean these as personal attacks or anything of the sorts just because you pirate the game, its just that most of us dont want to help with an illegal version of the game

i mean if i didnt know i would be stoned if i helped pirates i would help pirates

u do u, it just generally isnt supported

(its also agaisnt the servers rules)

im just afraid team cherry is gonna come to my house and crucify me bro-

[nimble oyster]

for modding help?

[lunar root]

Yes

[unique kindle]

I mean, I'm not the one to judge people for pirating since I did my share of it, but also I never expected official support when doing it.

[uneven wadi]

the only reason i dont help pirates is because i know im gonna get stoned and crucified if i do help

I have embraced my moral superiority by purchasing the real game this time, and will enforce that on others without any mercy (?)

[uneven wadi]

Yes

[nimble oyster]

have you set up custom knight?

check the pinned messages for a guide to start modding and install lumafly from the pins as well if u havent already (if u do already have all of that set up, skip to the section of the guide regarding using skins)

u can use that but lumafly is better

[nimble oyster]

i would reccomend using that instead

after that, make sure you have custom knight installed and lumafly is set up properly, then you need to open once after installing custom knight for it to work iirc

if u continue to have issues, make a post in #1057825333841240104 (read the FAQ and include the requested info)

its the same process as scarab afaik-

just install lumafly, then when you open it, itll make sure the folder path is correct, and thats it

for the folder path?

it should be correct by default, ive never seen it be wrong

for a specific option in the binds menu, press the white dot then a key to bind it to that key, or esc to unbind it. In options -> mods -> debug you'll find a button to reset all keybinds

those things

each option's bound key is written there

[nimble oyster]

if nothing is binded to that action

then yes

[nimble oyster]

do u just have these images? 😭

I have a folder with every page of the binds menu for when I don't want to boot hk to check and I don't feel like checking hkmodding's debugbinds tag, I didn't have the red circles though, I just edited them in

In short:

• #hk-help is for just playing what a person has already. Helping is optional there bc they already done a thing, and nothing is being changed about that.
• #1057825333841240104 requires technical stuff, and in many cases pirated copies literally are not compatible (for various reasons). Community Servers cannot encourage Piracy, so we can't offer any technical suggestions for a pirated copy, other than obtaining the game legitimately so that we can know that that is not part of the issue (eg, we can't say "try another version" in general, since that would encourage more pirating.).
  • As a secondary note, most Modding Devs don't feel comfortable with contributing work to the community if the members of it aren't supporting the original devs, so even if the above wasn't a problem, many modding devs would stop making stuff if pirating was encouraged.

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 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.

It sounds like you want HKMP

• 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:

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.
