Shit, why did reply ping turn back on?

[lean steppe]

It's on by defoult

[vagrant orbit]

I mean, you literally have both a PS5 and PS+; so you do "spend money on games"
That aside, imo HK is incredibly undervalued at $15 as is, and with Rando alone you get 100s of more hours out of it.

[soft garden]

Its not rlly my ps5, i just play on it sometimes lol

[frozen comet]

would i be able to downlode mods on hollow kngiht if i downpatched using the steam debug mod method

Not using scarab/lumafly

?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:

[nimble oyster]

[reef void]

Is there many or any mods at all with extra menu themes?

[lunar root]

I can only think of pale court

[dense wigeon]

Mimikyu skin I think has a custome menu theme

[vagrant orbit]

There's also the one by Beesnation

uh, ExtraMenuBackgrounds I think?

Hi dwarf

[vagrant orbit]

I mean, it feels fine. I'm just not allowed to use it

[lunar root]

Damn

[vagrant orbit]

It would probably hurt a lot of I did try to use it

[lunar root]

Also thank you for the accidental readdiction to powerwash

[humble ridge]

is there a mod that keeps path of pain open after completion?

or do i have to make a whole new save file now

[sour stump]

QoL does that

[humble ridge]

can i enable and disable all of the changes at will?

I wanna finish my save with the default stuff first, but i wanna have path of pain open

(even if default game has bugs)

[lunar root]

you should be able to but its pretty common for some of the toggles not to apply so id be careful with that

[humble ridge]

[dusty heath]

any good tips for randos? skurry makes them look so interesting, easy, and fun but when i try them i can never find needed or even just useful abilities and i end up getting stuck at one of the first parts of the game lol

do i REALLY need to know EVERY geo rock location and every possible skip

also what settings does he normally use?

[dusty heath]

especially every check

[unique kindle]

So, for knowing every location it mostly depends on your settings. If you randomize Geo Rocks then yes, you'll likely need to know at least how to access them. If you're not confident, or these are your first playthroughs, you probably want to use the default settings until you know your way a bit better.

Regarding the knowledge of where everything is, you don't really need to know all of that if you use RandoMapMod, since the pins will give you a general idea of where everything is, and what you can and cannot access according to logic (if you do skips, of course, this is relative), which will likely contain the stuff you need to finish the game

[dusty heath]

nah i'm pretty good at the game, i can beat p5 like 2 out of 3 times but i've only actually fully played through the game 3 times, 1 for main save, 1 for steelsoul, and 1 for another normal run. 112% on all

thing is tho

i just SUCK at speedrun skips other than the ones i know

like the goop skip took me a while to actually consistently do

idk if thats what its called but skurry calls it that

and stuff like stallball and epogo are stuff that i havent and probably will never be able to do

[unique kindle]

In that case, I'd say you're kind of free to randomize stuff, but I'd leave the Skip Settings off - you can always do them if you like, but the Randomizer will not ever expect you to actually do them to complete a seed

[dusty heath]

hell i cant stallball with shaman stone and mark of pride

is there an easy place to practice stallball actually

like uh palace grounds entrance?

[unique kindle]

No idea, I never ever tried to actually do those

[dusty heath]

where you need wings

ah ok

ill just keep trying

epogo i need to do as well

[unique kindle]

You'll find out in rando quite a few of those tricks (like the E-Pogo into Mantis Village) aren't that mandatory

Unless you decide to do Room Rando, where they become quite more powerful

[dusty heath]

yes i know but its just for my own convienence on normal runs and bragging rights

also cuz its just cool lol

[unique kindle]

Yeah that definitely works

And it's always better to know them that to not know them

[dusty heath]

theres 2 versions right? one with fireballing and one without but whats the difference, one is faster but harder? and if so which one?

[unique kindle]

But in that case, feel free to use any settings - the main challenge in Rando is probably doing routing

[dusty heath]

do you know what settings skurry normally uses? or just default

honestly a no logic rando sounds fun but idk if id even be able to do it if i cant do logic

[unique kindle]

The videos I remember, Skurry usually randomizes pretty much all of the base Rando content and adds one or two connections like GrassRando, Levers or that kind of stuff. Mostly depends on what do you want to be looking for

No Logic is the one only way that actually doesn't make sure it's possible to ever complete

But if you want to try it out, it's a setting from ExtraRando

[dusty heath]

ah

i didnt see it on scarab?

nevermind

lmao

also, map mod doesnt seem to be working

[covert estuary]

Zaliants surprise

[dusty heath]

i cant rlly activate it ingame it doesnt show up in the mods section of the settings

and its not auto activated i dont think

[unique kindle]

You have to press Ctrl + M when starting a save file

[dusty heath]

ahhhh

i didnt know

thanks

alright ill mess around with some rando settings and get back to you on how the run goes

thanks for the help

[unique kindle]

Anytime!

You can probably try out a million different settings

Specially if you add connections which randomize a lot of stuff that isn't included in the base randomizer

[dusty heath]

when in the save in kings pass or before starting one?

[unique kindle]

In the save

[dense wigeon]

The thing with stallball is that every setup is a bit different to my understanding, due to the wall angles. So practicing one won't necessarily be useful for any of the others

[hardy owl]

do any of y'all know what to do in pale court 💀

[unique kindle]

There are four NPCs scattered through Hallownest that lead to boss fights, a pretty hidden platforming section and some Godhome content.

[hardy owl]

alright, i'll check them out

Also make sure that:
-You don't have AdditionalMaps enabled, as it causes bugs with one of the bosses.
-You defeated White Defender.

[reef void]

Trying to go through the game as fast as I can so I can try pale court stuff, maybe I shouldnt have attempted a shade skip when I don't know where my shade spawns, because that seems kinda stuck up there...

[nimble oyster]

u can stall ball to get it, or get a nail upgrade and fireball it

or get cdash

[reef void]

I tried fireballing it from the middle platform but it seemed like it was too far away to work

[nimble oyster]

also note pale court is intended to be played on a 112% save file

also u can just use debug to get stuff

[brazen walrus]

ok what the hell is the actual name of the save files

im trying to un-corrupt a file

[nimble oyster]

idk if u can uncorrupt a file, u can use backups tho if u have one

[brazen walrus]

yeah good to know

[nimble oyster]

just find the platform ur on and follow the guide listed here

[brazen walrus]

i did but like

what are the save files where data is stored called

if i compare a corrupted save against a non-corrupted save i can at least figure out the differences

and i think i might be able to force-corrupt saves without direct editing

[dense wigeon]

?tag savefaq

[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/

[unique kindle]

This is now a reality

[pure karma]

would buying hollow knight from humble or another site on isthereanydeals still be moddable and profit still goes to the creators
cause it mentioned scarab only working with steam or GOG
is GOG it's own game launcher thingy like steam?

[vagrant orbit]

Humble (and the other sites listed on itad) offer Steam Keys, and steam keys are typically bought from TC directly, yes

GoG does have it's own launcher, called Galaxy

[pure karma]

Is the game moddable though?

It only mentioned Steam and GOG so I got scared

Since I bought it from Humble

[vagrant orbit]

Where do you think Steam Keys are redeemed

[pure karma]

Steam

[vagrant orbit]

It should be noted that the "Humble" copy from years ago is not moddable

[pure karma]

Damn

Well that sucks

[vagrant orbit]

but if you buy it on Humble recently, then you'd have a Steam Key

[pure karma]

Oh

[vagrant orbit]

the Steam Key is used to redeem the game on Steam

[pure karma]

Yeah

[vagrant orbit]

so.. you would have a Steam Copy

[pure karma]

I just thought the mod could tell

if it was a key or bought legit

[vagrant orbit]

which as previously established to be moddable

[vagrant orbit]

Keys are legit

Steam keys only exist when a Dev creates them. Then then usually sell them to thir party vendors as well (which is how those vendors are able to be a seller of them)

[pure karma]

yeah its just that they do a lot of deals for some reason

so i assume they get their keys for free somehow

and i thought illegally

[pure karma]

makes sense

the devs sell it for cheaper right?

because theres ALWAYS at least one site on itad with a discounted version of any game

[vagrant orbit]

Usually, yeah. Them selling a key for 50% off is still better than no sale at all kinda thing

[lunar root]

tbh it depends but any found in isthereanydeal should be all official and legit

there ARE certain sites that are very sketchy and you shouldnt buy your keys in since they were most likely stolen, a scam, or something along the lines, but stuff like humble bundle is fine, just make sure youre getting them from a trusted site

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

• Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Download: https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly?download
  • Make sure that the Lumafly's exe isn't in Downloads. Ideally put it on your Desktop.
• Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
  • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
• After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files)
  If you have further issues, then please see #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

[opal sparrow]

So I haven't seen anything through either Google or searching Discord explicitly about this, but regarding the MoreSaves mod, I'm not seeing the settings show up in the mods menu. My other mods are there, but MoreSaves is missing from the settings menu. Is there a known compatibility issue or something before I go disabling mods one by one to check?

[vagrant orbit]

?tags [term] searches tags for the term l, I believe

[lucid thicket]

Does the mod appear in the top left corner of the title screen? Because otherwise it's just not installed. You should use Lumafly if you aren't already, since it's more reliable than scarab. Also, note that the mod doesn't work on the gamepass/Microsoft store version of the game. If that doesn't help then create a post in #1057825333841240104 with the requested info from https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1090079233520451714

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.

Best? Milligolf

[gleaming hamlet]

awsome sauce

[normal panther]

I heard there’s a mod that removes wings dip

anybody have any idea of its name/how to get it

[vagrant orbit]

Have you searched "wing" on Lumafly?

[nimble oyster]

am i missing it or is anyrad not here

[vagrant orbit]

Anyrad isn't on ModLinks

[plucky wedge]

How is benchwarp downloaded less than assym knight

[weak flicker]

question, which is better in y'alls opinion, lumafly modding or scarab? I've been using scarab but I'm getting my friend who is very bad at complicated things (modding is a big one), sorry if this should be in modding help, if so please lmk

[vagrant orbit]

Asymmetric Knight is high up on the list, and people don't realize that AssymKnight isn't actually used. Heck, it mostly serves as an example for Devs, and CK+ is better than it in actual usage, which is why ZagKnight2 uses that.

?tag lumafly

• Website | Download

[weak flicker]

ohhhh, appreciate it

[vagrant orbit]

Considering Lumafly is literally an improved version of Scarab, I'd say it

[plucky wedge]

hmm do i use scarab+ or scarab

mysteries of life

istg that one fireborn video has created more problems than it could ever solve

because it uses scarab

[weak flicker]

lmao fair enough, it's been a good moment since I came back to this game and having him (my friend) play it re-sparked my passion. lmao and fr, fireborn needs to do more updates with the hollow knight content imo

[plucky wedge]

Im still not sure what exactly it does

ive never seen a skin that needs it

[shell turret]

maybe it could be used to give the poor Hollow Knight a consistent missing arm? xD

[vagrant orbit]

Because at the time it was made, Lumafly didn't exist.
I would look at it this way:

• If you want to match an old video to the T, then use Scarab
• If you want a better experience, and to not need to troubleshoot things because Scarab messed up your game or mods, and want the updated features that many mod resources mention, then use Lumafly

[vagrant orbit]

It describes what it does, both in name and description.
But as I said, no skin uses it, and likely won't ever use it, because there's no reason to use it over CK+. The only skin that supports Asymmetry right now is ZagKnight2.0, and it uses CK+ instead.

[plucky wedge]

Oh lmao

wait wait

How does rando 4 have more downloads than randocore

[vagrant orbit]

My best guess is either

• people downloading rando 4 manually after googling it, and then it not working so they get an installer which re-downloads it with Core
• or Rando Core got an update at some point, but Rando4 itself didn't need one, so the count for Core went down (this could be checked, but I'm too lazy to)

[rough shoal]

What is asymmetric knight?

[unique kindle]

I think the extremely high download count in Assym is because it uses the same repo as CK on the modlinks description.

As pointed out, the list doesn't include non-modlinks mods.

Will make an update when I get on my PC

[nimble oyster]

not even 3.0?

[unique kindle]

3.0 should be there. Probably not a top 50 mod

[rough shoal]

Discord rich presence is more popular then any rad 😭

[unique kindle]

Will try to include the whole list on next update

i tried to do p5 with pale court on and tiso jumpscared me lol

[vagrant orbit]

Just toggle him back off

🐌

[zenith geode]

pale court not working

[nimble oyster]

there is a modding help channel. note that youll need to include a lot more info to actually get help. see the FAQ for what info is needed

[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).

[lean steppe]

no modded bosses?
well except pale court but..

[split turtle]

I accidentaly opened my base game save with mods installed.

thank god i didn't have too much

to be honest the Enemy HP bar mod would be useful

i dont really know abt modding

Do i need to disable scarab completely before using lumafly btw

[covert estuary]

It's not necessary but there also is no reason to keep scarab

[wooden otter]

okkkk

[normal panther]

i have yeah, and nothing

[dusk igloo]

since this is a thing i believe mod developers would have access to (and i don't know where to look but would love to figure out how), is there any list of all projectiles that can hurt enemies and the damage they deal? this is like the sporg explosions, crystal peak miner pickaxes, false knight barrels, etc. - iirc from testing gulkas deal ~5 (2hko of 10) and husk miners deal ~10 (3hko of 25 ... despite wiki saying it does 5 ... consistent double hit? a patch updated and nobody noticed?)

(main reason i want to know is i want to find an approximation of about how much damage it takes for a hit to deal 2 masks of damage rather than 1, for use in thinking about how a pvp mod would work where the damage is set accordingly to mimic the other in-game projectiles.)

((i also want to get into mod development for myself later to mess with things like changing charm effects (like buffing hiveblood so that focus doesn't heal the mask that hiveblood is regenerating, canceling its effect) or updating the grimm fight so attacks will change each pufferfish for a fun challenge for myself later, but have no idea where to look))

[dense wigeon]

You might have better luck in the actual modding server. linked in pins

[shell turret]

it might be DoubleJumpFix? I'm not sure what "wing dip" is, but that apparently fixes a "notorious" bug or something...(sorry about the ping, just want to make sure you see!)

[covert estuary]

Wing dip is an 'intended' feature of wings. It is how you get pushed slightly down when you first activate wings, which can cause you to plummet into spikes instead of dodging them by, you know, double jumping immediatly

[vagrant orbit]

There is a mod that removes it

I thought it was on Modlinks, but it must not be

[fathom wigeon]

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. *Extraction tutorial: * https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/1135824458041540629/image.png).
• 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:

[gray heart]

Is there a way to import other skins into customknightcreator? What I mean is that someone's skin atlas getting split into categories by it

[red plinth]

you shouldn't edit other artists' skins without permission

[gray heart]

That wasn't the intention

[dense wigeon]

why else would you need someone else's skin in CKC?

[gray heart]

To watch the animation instead of just spamming it ingame

[vagrant orbit]

As far as seeing stuff in game goes, fwiw you can use

• [[DebugMod]] to both set Save States and use Timecale to slow down frames
• [[HkMotes]] to force ~18 of the animations to play, which is nice for some of them.

-# Wrong server

[red plinth]

You can also just record yourself playing the game and playback the video, if you're just trying to watch an animation.

[gray heart]

Honestly yeah, thats a sound plan. Didnt cross my mind somehow

[vagrant orbit]

As far generally speaking, you can get skins to open in Spritepacker/CKC, but it's very tedious and I wouldn't really reccomend it. #1235776228448010260 this long thread is about that.

[gray heart]

I figured I could mark certain sprites and then crop them from the general atlas, but that seems legit way too tedious, better to reproduce the feel from rewatching the recording or w/e

[plucky glade]

are there versions of the knights sprite that have the cloak uncoloured/its colors removed so you can easily colour it in yourself?

[lean steppe]

I think you can just disaturate it and work from there on your own

[plucky glade]

but then I cant colour within the lines, right? Cause its still just the one layer? Or am I misunderstanding?

[red plinth]

You can use the skin remixer to recolor the cloak. It's one of the resources listed in the 'how to create a skin' post

[vagrant orbit]

At some point someone also uploaded a copy of the knight sheet with a recolor layer-- I think it's in one of the packs of recolored skins.

[plucky glade]

but that only allows for one colour, right?

[unkempt sundial]

Does anybody know mods that add new charms that is not transcendence or pale court

[lucid thicket]

You can type "charm" in Lumafly's search bar to find mods with that word in their description. I can think of Fyrenest, Bomber knight, Nightmare Spark, MoreHealing, Charm Crab, Ancient Aspid, but I'm certainly missing some. Be careful though, some of them aren't compatible with each other (famously charm crab, but you should read the mods' readmes before installing them)

[unique kindle]

As a rule of thumb, only use one charm-modifying mod at once, since they pretty much always clash with each other. Hollow Point does affect some charms too iirc

hi guys im trying to run a speedrun with my friend and want to share all the posses and have item sync

or if we need to use something else

[weak plinth]

Item sync

[sand hollow]

the thing is we downloaded it and yet when i tried to get fury of the fallen to test it out

it didnt work

even after we both sat on a bench

[weak plinth]

Did you follow the readme

Do you both have the mod and are in the same network "room"

[sand hollow]

yea we both had the mod

and were both in the same room

https://youtu.be/fGZWRdAG4yc?si=5yWb96pbW19fZ5eT

were trying to set up something like this

[weak plinth]

Yeah. That's just hkmp and itemsync

Read the Readme for setup instructions

[sand hollow]

it no working :c

[weak plinth]

Not a helpful sentence

That has no details around what is done. Has no modlist. Has no logs. Has no ip info. Etc

we have the mods

all the dependencies

ip is the same

port is the same

hamachi server is set up correctly

all i can think of is potentially using scarab

instead of lumafly

thoughts?

Scarab does have a tendency to miss updates, lumafly is recommended. Also be sure yiu have rando vanilla tracker if you're not randomizer things. If you still need help make a post in #1057825333841240104 after reading the faq

[steady cipher]

Each time I start the game the qol mod is automatically turned off and I need to manually turn it on. Is that normal? Also the "sell all" option either doesn't work or I don't know how it works

[lucid thicket]

QoL's toggle doesn't display the correct value when you launch the game, QoL should still be enabled. You can test this by trying an inventory drop for example. The sell all option requires you to talk to Lemm, aka interact with him on the right side of his shop, instead of using the usual sell options

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.

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.

hey so im just downloading scarab, i had some issues where the game would crash when i opened it with scarab and i fixed that but now its just stuck on a black screen when i boot up the game with the api on, when its off the game boots just fine. i have no clue what to do so i was hoping someone could help

i had that issue too

idk what i did to fix tho sorry

ok thank you

i figured it out, i was on the wrong patch

[obtuse fable]

I wish the Abyss had a boss fight
I believe an expansion to the Abyss was planned during the kickstarter but the stretch goal was unfortunately never reached

A boss fight where hitting it does not gain any soul
That could be very interesting if done well

[wheat narwhal]

a boss for shade cloak

[obtuse fable]

Yes, that's what I was thinking

Let me expand upon this idea
A basic sword wielding boss that moves slowly outside of its sword attacks

However, it can use the same spells you can
Fireball, ground smash, upcast

The spells would move slowly so they'd be reactable, but have big hurtboxes

[dull oxide]

Slow boss with a big hitbox that doesn’t give soul when attacked?
are you sure this isn’t already in the game? /j

How to fix Installer Errors

• Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
• Make sure that the Installer isn't in your Downloads folder (Desktop or a folder on the same drive as your game install is best).
• If the installer is in a .zip, then you must extract it (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/1135824458041540629/image.png), and move all files to the new folder.
• Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator".

The hollow point mod works with 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).

is there a mod to hide the mask ui? i want to take some clean screenshots

You maybe just use the skin mod, make a copy of the default skin and rename it, and then just find the ui images and open them and erase the stuff you want to be gone

Screenshot machine

the problem is stuff like this

I can see the pixels of my attacks when i the skin

And all the sprites also just seems slightly blurry

[vagrant orbit]

I'm pretty sure that's just how that skin is

[lusty garden]

Damn i really liked it tho but i dont wanna look at the low quality sprites

I guess in theory i could fix it myself but im not gonna figure out the stuff i need to do it or spend the time on that rn

or i guess i can do a quicj fix by layering the base game sprites with the modded one and then remove all the sprites with the base knight and deleting all the sprites with the modded effects

took a little time but aleast now my attacks look normal

?tag controller

[fathom wigeon]

Common fixes for controller issues

Try these separately first, but if they don't work, then you may need to try a combination of them.

• Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode
• Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
• Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen.
• Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program
  • This is usually only necessary for unusual controllers, or when the above options don't work.
    Visual examples for Steam settings:
    fig 1 | fig 2

Additionally you can check out the ControllerFixes mod found on the installers

[grim sleet]

Thanks so much! I was able to get the controller working

guys what's a radiance mod that's easy but not absrad easy ykwim

[dense wigeon]

You can search "Radiance" in Lumafly to see all the mods there are.

[rapid root]

yeah but i'd need to download and try every single one out of the millions
just to find out which ones aren't impossible

[dense wigeon]

None of them are imposssible. But most modded bosses are going to be hard

Also "millions" is a bit of an exaggeration

There's maybe half a dozen

Also like, no one knows your skill level? And different people find different things hard. So it's best to make your own judgement

[rapid root]

true

by "impossible" i just mean like impossible for the average skilled player
eg: omega radiance or harder

[nimble oyster]

immortal light and omega radiance.

you can also check out ultimatum or atomic radiance but they arent on the installers

[rapid root]

there's no way omega is possible

how does one read that balls attack

[nimble oyster]

i play tested it and beat it several times

[rapid root]

the one where they appear instantly and give you 100ms of time to react

[nimble oyster]

its been done on radiant too

[dense wigeon]

(hmm, almost like what I said about people finding different things hard, is true )

[dense cliff]

a

[nimble oyster]

originally it was harder

youre supposed to use dive tho

[covert estuary]

Insert ddark copypasta

[rapid root]

yeah but the attack happens so fast

[dense cliff]

meow

[rapid root]

no fuck you
outsert it

[nimble oyster]

if its the only rad mod youve done its tricky

[dense wigeon]

Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses 👨🏼? You should just be using descending dark 🕶. Descending ⬇️ dark 🕶️ gives you iframes 👀 which stop 🛑you taking damage 😔. It also does a🅰️🅰️ lot of damage 😢. Stop 🛑 dying ☠️ to video 📻📻👾 game 👾 bosses 👨🏼 and just use descending ⬇️ dark 🌑

[rapid root]

eaeaeo

[nimble oyster]

since u wont be used to anticipating the attacks

if radiance does a burst attack then 1 teleport, expect another burst attack or orbs for example

theres lots of stuff like that u can use and apply to every version of radiance

[rapid root]

what's burst

[nimble oyster]

radiance has 2 burst attacks: sword burst and beam burst.
these attacks spawn from rads face and occur in a burst (hence the name).theyre telegraphed by her face lighting up

due to how team cherry coded radiance, if she does a burst and 1 teleport, the next attack can only be a burst or orbs

[rapid root]

i miss when hitlessing absrad on attuned was a sign of a lot of skill

actually that time probably never existed

[nimble oyster]

what

[rapid root]

honestly

realising that bosses like these are actually doable to the general community of 300+ hours players opened my fourth eye

[nimble oyster]

u dont have to know any of that and it doesnt take away from the skill either

nvm ic what u mean

[rapid root]

ok let me rephrase

i miss when i thought i was good

at this game

[nimble oyster]

it still takes a lot of time and skill to do absolute radiance

[covert estuary]

In the grand scheme of hk players you still can say that. Only 3% of people have beaten p5

[nimble oyster]

u (probably) are.

if u think u cant be good since theres better players, then nobody is good

[rapid root]

ok just out of curiosity what's ur playtime

[covert estuary]

Well 1 player is the best (in one area)

[nimble oyster]

~1350 hours

theres like 22 clears of 2.0

[vocal veldt]

Can you make do with one mod installer or do you need different ones depending on the mod in question?

[lucid thicket]

All mod installers pull their mods from the same source, so you only need one. The only exception being that there are installers for an older patch (1.4), so if you need to mod that version for some reason you'll need another installer

[tardy tiger]

hey did you find the skin i have found where i originally got it from so if you see this i should be able to help

[lucid thicket]

they got an answer like 2 messages below #modding-discussion message

[tardy tiger]

ah ok he saw my video and i was trying to retrace my steps

[vocal veldt]

I presume that there are QoL mods to emulate some pre-1.5 behaviors, so it shouldn't be an issue?

[lucid thicket]

The only reasons to mod a different version are either for speedrun practice, in which case you'll want to install tools on the version you're running, or to play the few 1.4 mods that didn't get ported to current patch

[vocal veldt]

I see. I mainly intend to stick to the more popular randomizers, QoL mods and some simpler boss mods, and eventually move on to content mods, so I doubt this will be an issue.

[unique kindle]

Yeah, for all of that 1.5 is the best way to go, in fact, most of the current randomizer mods didn't even exist prior to 1.5

• Comprehensive Skin Doc by ColetteMSLP
  • [Public Skins not yet on the Doc](#modding-discussion message)
• Video Tutorial 🎦 by fireb0rn
• [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.

Hi how hard is modding hk on switch? Is anything other than skins possible

[nimble oyster]

no

and the process of getting skins is apparently tricky

[livid garnet]

Yeah they have some on game banana tho.

Thank you for help

[vocal veldt]

Is it feasible for Custom Knight or its addons to edit Nosk's sprites to match the currently active player skin?

Also, can screen-shake be disabled via config editing or is modding required?
-# The answer seems to be the former.

[lucid thicket]

Custom knight allows to edit enemy sprites so yes, but that requires the skin author to edit those sprites themself. And the answer to your second question is indeed yes, by editing the files named Config.ini (Note that this doesn't work on old patches)

[vocal veldt]

Are save files tracked separately when the modded game is launched or should they be backed up first, then replaced to use separate save files on a modded client?

[unique kindle]

While modded data is usually stored in a different file, some do interact with the base save file, and so a backup is recommended

[vocal veldt]

Where is save data stored? Should Steam be used to back up the data instead?

[lucid thicket]

?tag savefaq

[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/

[minor hawk]

?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).

[wanton narwhal]

i have the mod installed. i was just wondering where you can find the pale court inside hollowknight

[unique kindle]

You'll want to start looking for NPCs related to the pale court itself

[nimble oyster]

the bot message links the trailer which heavily hints at what u need to do

also if u know what the pale court is from the base game, that will also help

[wanton narwhal]

i saw

also, void heart is acting weird

it's forcing the 5 charm notches on me

how do i fix it?

[nimble oyster]

i dont think that's related to pale court. u should be able to edit your save file and adjust the notch cost of VH

[median nest]

are there any mods that add new content, add new notches, change/overhaul stuff or anything of the sort? kinda want to play hk again, but i really want some freshness

and no clue what pre existing mods there are

[dense wigeon]

There's nods ro do all that and then some, although they're not necessarily all compatible. If you install lumafly you can browse the modlist with descriptions

[wanton narwhal]

this fucking abyss parkour is gonna drive me fucking insane

[nimble oyster]

[wanton narwhal]

no

oh

[teal falcon]

Im completely new to modding, but I want to make my bf a custom skin + extra custom sprites, as a gift. He’s playing on switch tho and I’ve heard adding skins can be tricky, does anyone know anything about this?
And can switch use a custom knight and charm sprites?
I’ve made this one so far, I hope it can be used.
I’ll be making 1935 sprites in total

[lucid thicket]

You'll have more luck in dedicated switch modding communities, since switch isn't compatible with the way modding is done on pc and that's what is supported here. Editing sprites on switch is indeed technically possible by replacing assets in the game's files, but that's not something we have guides for here

[teal falcon]

Oh okay, thank you for the help. Im glad it is possible in the first place. If it’s not a bother, do you know any switch hk modding servers I could possibly join?

[minor hawk]

No one here knows about any kind of specific hk switch modding community

Most ressources are probably around Reddit

hi i have a problem, when i try to open the game it crashes, this didn't happen before but i installed debug mod and it won't open

can anyone help with this?

?tag crash

[fathom wigeon]

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
  • 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/

[teal falcon]

Thank you for the advice. I guess I’ll have to download Reddit then

[median nest]

interesting

[vagrant orbit]

To add to what others have said:
You can find YouTube videos on how to replace the knight, and links to the programs people use.

There's a tool to convert a Custom Knight skin into the asset files that switch uses iirc. I do believe doing this requires having a modded switch though, which might be a hurdle.

[teal falcon]

Thank you, this helps a bunch. I really hope I can make it work

Important paths

Notes: These are for Steam's default locations. For GoG, locate your hollow_knight.exe folder and follow from there. The Saves folder also contains Global Settings and your ModLog.txt. Some mod installers such as Lumafly can open these folders for you.

• **Windows except XBox Games ** 🪟

  • Save Files: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\

    2. Copy & Paste the Save Files path
    3. Press [Enter]

• XBox Games 🎮

  • Save Files: %AppData%\..\Local\Packages\
    • Find a folder in here with Team Cherry in the name
  • Game Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\
  • Mod Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
  • Note: Microsoft manages this install weirdly and syncs its files to inaccessible folders, so changes may need a few minutes to take effect and bugs with (un)installing mods can occur.

• Mac OS 🍎

  • Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
  • Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/

is it possible to install mods on the game downloading through the Windows App Store?

is carefree melody supposed to still summon grimmchild if you edit the value of the grimmchild level from 4 to 5 to change the charm (having gotten the grimmchild legit and trying to change it to melody)?

?tag gamepass

[fathom wigeon]

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

• Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Download: https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly?download
  • Make sure that the Lumafly's exe isn't in Downloads. Ideally put it on your Desktop.
• Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
  • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
• After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files)
  If you have further issues, then please see #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

Heya, me and a friend downloaded HKMP mod. For some reason only some of the enemies are synced but others are not. my friend for example can see me kill some enemies and they die for him to (without him touching them). Anyone knows why that is?

• 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!*

[minor hawk]

Basically that is normal behaviour

That being said some mods can sync more stuff

• GhostHunter and ESoulLink allow you to see each others enemies and share their health, however you can't truly sync them with these mods.
• The HKMP dev has a beta of the next update on his Patreon, that implements an entity sync system that he's been working on for over a year.

[little panther]

Cool, i will check that out! thanks

[simple holly]

Is there any mods for practicing fights? It'd be especially nice if it could make the enemy only use one attack so I can practice dodging just one at time.

[weak plinth]

debug

but no mods that I know of limit the enemy AI

debug can make you invincible and create save states, etc

[simple holly]

Alright I'll try that

Btw it says to download the modding api from a dead google drive link, is that the same as https://github.com/hk-modding/api
