They would need to install Hamachi too
I'm not sure what "file" you're sending to them
They can just download it idk why would you send it to them,it would be the same anyway
So I was casually making my first youtube video on the eternal ordeal with mods and it broke the game in the best possible way. I have a new record of about 590 now.
The build used the pale court charms Vessels lament and Kings Honor, plus grubsong, shape of unn, quickfocus, sporeshroom, deep focus. Have fun.
Im looking to speak to the chinese artist who made the grub knight skin, does anyone know how i could contact them?
I'm not sure who all is active on Bilibili, but I believe that the artist is the one that uploaded the Showcase for it:
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Rq4y1P7jL/
i did find them there, but the dms are not working for me.
ok i cant dm it seems since my level on billi billi is not hig henough
its very challenging to contact the chinese community
mainly because they use QQ (basically chinese discord), and if you arent in china its very difficult to use it
also if youre wondering abt finishing the grubskin, i believe the creator has said they have no plans to do that
okay thanks
i had to do this weird questionaire thing to verify on bilibili but i was able to message them. no clue if they will respond.
whats the question?/why did you want to contact the creator?
i want to ask permission to modify their skin/add to it
good luck with that 
i would be doing it as a commission so i need to ask permission before doing it
ty
maybe @tiny night knows 
hmmm
I will check the skin tmr

Please private message me as a reminder, Im afraid that I will forget
I will try to connect with her, because she’s very busy recently
I think no, she doesn’t like that
okay, if you could ask her I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
I mean, this one I can very sure that she would not want to let someone change her skin
This is general things that most authors don’t want to
That being said, especially if you were commissioned, I suppose to finish the grub skin, you could also remake it from scratch
There has been so much demand over the grub skin specifically, im sure no one would mind two skins existing
(I’m not sure how much extra work that is, from memory the grub skin was really incomplete, but maybe I’m wrong)
Tsira is cooking
It’s….a ton of work to make from scratch
I’ll have to look into it but yeah it’s a lot
Hey guys wanted to know just how much impact does mods can have on my game performance?
it depends on the mods and how many you have
I see I have only few common ones so it seems my performance issues are not coz of mods
Fwiw, my own thought on how I'd complete it without causing an upset:
I thought about either
- using CKSAA to create new animations for the "missing" parts (HBKits guide covers how to use CKSAA). This would let you make new spirit sheets that exclusively are for missing animations.
- alternatively, a knight sheet that only had the frames modified for the stuff missing from the original grub skin. This could be seen as a "patch" , and users can edit the two together if they wanted to use it, but it wouldn't be distributed as a modification of the original work
iirc it's only missing up and/or down slash
So since I don't know a lot about mods, what happens if i turn off Pale Court when just wanting to do vanilla and then turn it back on later when I wanna do PC, as long as I kept the save slot where I played Court intact, will the progress and charms just re appear?
You'll keep your progression, to avoid issues make sure you saved on a vanilla bench before disabling the mod though
Alright, thank you!
Hello everyone, how can I download little radiance skin,i found GDrive link from official website of creator but i think it is not downloadable from drive
Hello, I'm in the Godhome , and I'd like to unlock all the bosses without having to go across the entire map. Is there a way to do this quickly, or do I have to explore the whole map?
Godseeker Plus will grant you options to do all godhome content and customize a lot of stuff there
Thak you
I don't understand
your Answer
I mean that I don't know if you can because I can't get the dlcs to know
Okay
Sorry, I'm French, so I don't understand everything.
not modding related but HK has no dlcs- it has expansion packs (essentially updates), so it comes with the game by default
Isn't that the same thing
no its a slight misnomer because as you can see, you were under the impression the content must be bought and downloaded separately because thats usually what you have to do with dlcs
? Why would you not be able to download it from Drive? That's where a large portion of skins are.
I installed the Godseeker+ mod, but I still haven't unlocked all the pantheons or all the bosses. Is it because I didn't install the right mod, or is it something else?
Have you restarted the game & made a new save since toggling it on?
Yes i have restart the but i don't made a new save. I will try
Thank you! 
Thank you!
yes, tons of work
christopher
that's why most author don't like it
yeah i get that
long time no see!


oh... I forgot one thing...
here's the virgil hud done by blue gauze
I will make a zip and upload it later
If you want it, then you have to take it....
does anybody know how to get the kaizo mod to work?
I've never had it not work? 
Make sure you read the ReadMe for DecorationMaster, and run the game with it installed at least once for the folders it needs to generate to load up
:O
Any new good mods to try out
i mean ion think its new but nightmare spark is soo good its bascily if you were to play grim
There will be more updates for this skin, it won’t change the skin but it will change the spells and nail color etc.
Imagine if this works with the vergil moveset mod
omg that might actually works
Damage values or something like that
talz
tysm
thanks
My favorite mod is me
I like the anika mod but its usually broken
whats anika mod
Its the anika mod
I like Zaliant's mod
Smh dont tell me you dont know the ponder mod either
That ones peak
Ismoils mod sucks we should remove it from modlist
Hopefully I'll become a mod soon 
is there a mod to track how many grubs I have freed?
is there any new skin list for custom knight
BingoUI
good job zal
Hello, at certain times my game glitches, and it prevents my character from sitting down. Can you tell me where the problem might be coming from?
do you have benchwarp
it's possible you are benchwarping during some not great points that are leading to this behavior but i dont know without the full details, for one off questions this is fine but without any real information we can only direct you to #1057825333841240104 and make sure you read #1090079233520451714 as well
Okay Thank you!
I REQUIRE SOMEBODY TO MAKE A GRUB SKIN FOR THE WEAVERS AND OR HATCHLINGS.
only if you wanna
same 
You can use GrubTrain if you want grubby companions
What's Grubtrain?
A mod available on the installers that adds grubs as new companions
I know some people who are accepting make skin
but I think they will take commisions

Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu. - 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.
- Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s launching correctly the first time. To use both mods at the same time, you must disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
- If you see lots of White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying skins in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when you have your save file loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu will only be used for new files.

Does Pale Court work on Linux/Steam deck?
yes
Would I want to install the PC version and run it through proton or the native linux one? I saw there is linux version of scarab so maybe that one
?tag steamdeck
Fixing Common issues on Linux/SteamDeck
- Controller Doesn't Work / [Some Mod] isn't working!
- By default (especially on SteamDeck) Steam may be using Proton and installed the Windows version of the game. This can have problems on it's own, but also causes issues because the Mod Installers will install the Linux version of the ModdingAPI, which isn't fully compatible with the Windows version.
- How to Fix: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)
- After this you'll need to select "Change Paths" in your Mod Installer and change it to the new install path (which you can get by using the "Browse Local Files" option in Steam, then reinstall your mods.
- Game crashes when when starting / while playing!
- Add
-force-openglto the steam launch arguments. Note: This can be a problem even if playing Vanilla, but it is commonly seen when Modding because of the greater resources used.
- Add
- Mods not saving correctly / loading correctly
- This can happen if the Permissions in your Hollow Knight install get messed up. You can fix this by making sure that the current user (or all users) have permissions for the Hollow Knight install directory and subdirectory & files. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, then you can open terminal, use
CD "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/"to get to the Steam Apps directory, and then usesudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight"to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.

**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.

If you only want to play pantheons you can use GodSeekerPlus to automatically unlock them on new saves. Otherwise you can use Debug to give you abilities to speed up the process of defeating the required bosses, but it won't unlock pantheons by itself. You can also download a completed save if you can find on that fits your case here. I won't recommend editing a new save since that'll take a while given the amount of values to edit. Playing the game again is also an option, a 2nd playthrough is always way faster than the 1st
Ok thanks, i'll just do a 2nd playthrough ig, but is there just a way to have the full map ingame ?
Like for free
Debug has a "give all maps" button
Ohh OK, i guess im just not seeing it lol
Thanks for your help
Page 16 of the binds menu. Note that clicking the arrow will trigger the action, and clicking the white dot allows you to bind it to a key, so be careful not to accidentally bind something to a key you often use or you'll get unexpected effects 
(you can always reset the binds in case you make a mistake)
Yes ive just done that lmao but could figured out
Maybe its normal but it gives me the maps only where i went
Its enough for me tho
Oh nvm i just restarted the game in vanilla and i have full map so perfect
sooo there is no way ?
pirated games aren't supported no
feel free to come back after getting a legitimate version
im already at the end of the game thats why
im lazy to start again from the start
i just want the health bar for the bosses in the godmaster dlc
Your can transfer your file from the pirated version to an official one
It's possible to have the official version use your save
Well its too late im not gonna buy it for one boss
In case you didn't read the bot's message, don't ask for assistance with pirated versions
dfac is happening
How can I install a skin that gives me the link of a ds server for the download?
.rar files are just compressed files, which you can extract with a tool such as 7zip
if that was your question
Its me again lol, i dont understand how works Godseeker+, i cant strat any pantheon challenge bc i didnt killed all bosses at all, so i have to kill them normaly ?
After double checking it looks like the feature I was thinking about only works in Godseeker mode, sorry, so I guess you'll have to do them normally
You don't, mods are only supported on legitimate pc versions
You can also try editing the bossDoorStateTierX values with X = pantheon number to avoid having to unlock them normally
?tag saveedit
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 savesfor more information
- If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called
- 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

I wasn't sure if the game would accept it without having beaten the individual bosses, but after a quick search I think it does
Just make a backup before doing save editing
Yeah, with a backup you'll be safe, and it's not as difficult/scary as it may look

fix skins worked thank you
what does this even mean
with supported do you mean supported by this discord's modding staff? doesn't make sense otherwise
Alright ill buy the game from where can i download mod installer 2 i've been told its from this discord
Server
Mod installer 2 is a bit ancient, most current mods are built for current patch, which uses Lumafly or Scarab
I wanna try it do u have a link or somthing
Not really, I got into HK a bit over an year ago and by then Lumafly was the standard already
I just got in and Lumafly is very easy to find just search it on google or something like thag
You were already told to not ask for modding help with pirated versions
since we know that Winter, Summer and Spring were released, when do you all think Fall/Autumn will be released by there creator. and what will they look like?
Vivaldi's neat
we’ll never know 
I feel like I recall hearing there were not plans for Autumn, but I don't remember where I heard it
only thing i remember is pale court releasing made them start working on it and they released a private skin somewhat recently
other then that its just alot of dont strave posts or just general art

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.

Hello
Hi
How do I run Scarab using Bottles? I created a Bottle with gaming focused environment and enabled Steam Integration to play HK
This is where I put the "windows" folder you download from the github page:
/home/user/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Videogames/drive_c/users/steamuser/Downloads/Scarab
Basically inside the bottle, as it should be
But Scarab won't run no matter what I do. This is the output if launched from the terminal:
Is there a missing library I should install?
are you having issues running mods or just really want to run them from scarab
I'm having issues running Scarab
first time modding Hollow Knight since I completed it already
Scarab for Windows version. The one made for Linux works fine but makes HK stop working
why aren't you using lumafly
That's better than Scarab?
lumafly is just scarab but actively maintained
hopefully i can run it

I checked the vid & there's not a new link provided, I'm not sure which if any of the Rustys in this server are that Rusty, so I left a comment on the showcase but I dunno what the odds are of them seeing it/how much they keep up with YT comments. I've added the wixsite DL link to the list for now as a backup.
Oki, thank you!
is there certain mods that are too op?
that i shouldn't touch till i like beat the game 112%
I mean, most people wouldn't suggest modding at all until you are "Done" with the base game. What that means is up to you though.
Personally, I started modding after my casual had done TE and I just had Godhome content left.
It's also recommended to make a backup of your saves before modding, and be aware that mods can permanently affect your files.
?tag savefiles
Save Files
What do save files looks like?
- Each Hollow Knight save file is a
user#.datwhere#is the save slot for the file - You can rename
user3.dattouser1.datto set it to your first save slot - You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer
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 theuser#.datare 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 savesinto 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
.raror other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip
- If the file you download is a
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/
can they affect my backups?
?tag noping
As long as you moved the backups to a different location, then no
so how do i do that
Like, if you just copy them in the same saves folder, then things that look at that folder could affect them
im on mac
That doesn't change anything
Did you read the message above?
I'm not walking you through it
The information is already there lol
Important paths
Notes: These assume you're using Steam, with default locations. For GoG, locate your hollow_knight.exe folder, and then follow from there. The Save Files location is the same for all versions (except for XBox Games) and additionally contains Global Settings as well as your ModLog.txt. Some mod installers such as Lumafly can open these folders for you.

- Video Tutorial 🎦 by fireb0rn
- [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)
- Guide to Creating a Skin by HBKit
Common issues
- 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. - 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.
- Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s launching correctly the first time. To use both mods at the same time, you must disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
- If you see lots of White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying skins in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
- Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when you have your save file loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu will only be used for new files.
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):
Yes
thanks
wow you made the mod awesome
Ping isn't needed, thanks. And no I did not.
i mean the doc
Yes. That's quite different than making a mod LOL, making mods is pretty complex
would you look at that i magically completed this achievement
and 59k geo?
thats crazy man

highlights of my current rando:
the item i needed was in greenpath, which i couldnt access, so i didnt know what to do
the answer was fucking. glowing. womb.
progression was locked behind literally the last item i needed
The item randomize will always have a logic behind the entire thing
You should probably read the rando4 readme then
If I were to mod my game, would the changes be in the game, or in the mod manager?
I mean, if I were to move my game file around, would the mods stick?
Hollow Knight modding modifies two files to setup the Modding API, and then mods themselves are in a sub directory of the game install.
So, if i was to move the modded game to a different computer, it would work?
Generally, yes. There are things that are not tied to your install though (save data and modded save data, for example, is not in the game files; same with achievements and some other global game information)
there should be a mod where you could give every npc a flower
There's MylaFlower to save Myla and also FlowerRandomizer that adds a few custom NPCs to the pool. The latter has quite some room for improvement at the moment
guys, is there a new version of Scarab?
I wanted to play the game after some long time, but for some reason, my controller stops working and I think it might have something to do with the mods?
I don't play betas and I don't use a controller emulator
is the controller straight to the game from steam
?tag lumafly
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.
Not that that should directly influence the installed mods, although scarab can miss an update
?tag controller
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
ok, it's not the mods
What is this bug?
That can happen when you're missing a dependency, but without more info we can't really tell. Make sure you're using Lumafly, since Scarab sometimes doesn't install dependencies, and try reinstalling your mods to automatically get the missing ones if that's the issue. If that doesn't help then create a post in #1057825333841240104 and include the requested info from https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1090079233520451714

is there an updated Hornight skin that is less pixelated?
love using the skin, just bothers me it doesn't match the rest of the game
Have you checked other skins in general?
Iirc this is more of an issue on certain monitors
Like, if you see this happen with all skins you try out, then there's not going to be a fix
guess it's the monitor I use? all the other skins I use look just fine
If it were happening to all skins then it would be the monitor
If it's not happening to all skins, then it's not the monitor
I'm not sure why you posted the default Knight sprites here?
Default wouldn't really be part of this
to compare, the default, daughter of hollwnest, ect all look clean and sharp, just Hornight that looks jagged and pixelated
could just be the art program they used to edit it or the brush
Then it would be the skin, yeah
I originally was thinking that by "hornight" this was about "daughter of hallownest", and I'm on mobile so discord preview of the images above both just look like the Default Knight skin 
You technically could probably open the skin up in something like Krita or Photoshop, then select the empty space with a Magic Wand tool set to go in by 1 pixel and use Feathering, then press Delete
This would remove sharp/jagged edges.

Any tips on Nightmare and Void?
Is there any way to tell if a save file has used mods or not? It's been years since I played, and I can't remember which save file of mine has mods or not, and I don't want to mess things up.
You can check of there is a modded version present for that slot in the saves folder

Anyone know if there is a mod that can make bosses go down in one nail swing? Just need it for a video joke/bit

Perfect thank you
So I've come back to Hollow Knight after experimenting for a bit with Bloodborne emulation, and that got me curious. Has anyone ever made a Hunter or Doll skin for CustomKnight? I didn't see anything similar on Colette's list.
I think someone posted a sketch/concept for a hunter skin, but I’m pretty sure it’s not out yet ?
That being said you should also check the "skins to be added to the skin list list"
Just to be sure
(I don’t see it there though)
This #modding-discussion message is still a wip. That being said there's the Light and Blood skin on Colette's list, which is Bloodborne themed
Oh, I completely didn't see the hunter's mark in the soul meter while scrolling through the list. Lol. Thanks for pointing it out.
Okay, I did not expect Pale Court to include Path of Pain 2: Electric Boogaloo
That's cool :3 (not looking forward to suffering at the hands of another PoP)
does anyone know what's going on here?
hkmp was working perfectly for me and my friend, i port forwarded 26950 in my router settings, and used the default IP 127.0.0.1 in game like the guide says, i didn't change anything since. however today my friend is unable to join, they are using my public ip address, what's happening?

But also you should check if your public IP changed, or if you didn't set a static ip for the computer you're hosting from

is there any way to fix the issue where you heal super quick and take almost no soul to heal
i think its associated with hollowpoint, but the solutions previously found dont seem to work for me
my focusMP_amount is already at 33
Make sure your game isn't running at a very low frame rate (under 50fps)
Other than that though, it's just that one value that controls it
game is running well above 50 fps
I FIXED IT
the issue was that i didnt know how to use the save mod
you need to be IN game
while modifying the save file for the value to appear as anything different
hi, quick question
If I create a hollow knight skin, and I want to promote it, like Wips, and also the final product, in which channel can I do that ?
That one and the modding server
The modding server has a channel (art general) in which that really is common practice
(so please go there, it’s always cool to see new skins)
The final product can also go in #879138134103846954
Is the abyssal temple in pale court easier or harder with sharp shadow?
Haven't tried it out, but I can think of one or two segments that could be potentially harder

nope
There is a way to add skins, which requires jailbreaking your switch and stuff, so definitely not easy, and to me not worth the effort
If you have access to a computer, the game is gonna be like 5 bucks for Black Friday, definitely worth buying again for mods

I read in a forum that it could be done on Android but I don't know more details that's why I asked.
does pale court work with hollow nest vocalised
It did not for a while, not sure if it ever got fixed. (Pin still says no)
iirc theyre working on it

Lots of charm mods, just search "charm" on lumafly. Not many that add new locations but most are probably under the "expansion" tag

None of that helps I don’t think because I can get to the thing where it’s loading with white and grey and then it crashes like last second
Then make a #1057825333841240104 post after reading the FAQ
why not now
I know they found an issue and fixed it
Not sure if it was pushed, or if it is the only issue
To my knowledge, the fix has not been released yet
Both Pale Court and Vocalized have long-term pending major updates to my knowledge

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):
Did you watch the tutorial linked in the bot's message?
You literally have the skins on the first link on the bot's message
So yeah, you probably want to check for that
I can't download it there
It has links to where each of them can be downloaded
Oh
Did you read the red text at the top?
Could be a skin posted on the modding server
Red text? where??
The link brings you to the message that has the skin. You may need to click it twice in case discord doesn't load the messages on the first attempt. If that still doesn't work try pasting the link here and clicking it from discord directly
Actually no, it's in this chat: #modding-discussion message
is there a mod that marks unexplored areas items and possibly grubs?
The vanilla game does both of these 
How does it mak unexplored areas?
On the map you can see where transitions are
Any room that hasn't been added yet is unexplored
Makes sense
For map yeah, vanilla is the clearest indicator. The rest is probably included in VanillaMapMod (or RandoMapMod on rando saves)
If you explore the transitions that you haven't gone through yet, you'll inevitably find the grub tracker
Yeah, was making a point for the "items" part, which are not all included by default
But areas and grubs are def covered by base game
anyone know how to access the pale court bosses outside of godhome?
You need to defeat White Defender and get to their locations
hes only in pantheons right?
i havent played in a whyle so i honestly forgot how to get to him
You can find him below dung defender's arena after defeating all 3 dreamers
tysm
(Note that you'll need to break the floor right under the acid pipe to the right of the arena)
is there any sound randomizer mod? watched a video of the twitch chat mod and i kinda wanted to experience the musical chaos myself
Not to my knowledge. A lot of parts of Hollow Twitch did get added to Additional Challenges, but I don't believe the audio stuff was.
I had plans for sound (well, BGM technically) randomization, but haven't really worked on it yet
I want little Grimm

Hey anyone knows how I can get bombs in the bomber knight mod?
Make sure that you started a new file with it (it won't work on an already existing file)
Other than that: it's intended to be something you discover in a playthrough (like finding Transcendence charms or Lost Artifacts). Iirc there are ||_ _ 3 _ _|| locations for them.

If you don't want to find a bomb bag on your own, here's the three locations (listed in the ReadMe, although it offers more spoilers)

You can also use the "more randomizer settings" to personalize the options better
ok

introducing the hollow knight divination mod
xd
does anyone have a solution to this? its something to do with "multi_instance_manager.py", its supposed to be some kinda hollow knight mod that sets up a server and proxy controller that can be controlled by the algorithm. thats about it. i just need some support. im kinda confused here.
heres what im getting.
Guys I just got hollow knight multiplayer and my games doing the dumping sprites thing and I’m at 22% after 15 minutes 😭
Is it usually this slow?
is there a hollow knight mod that sets up a server and proxy controller?
You'll probably need to reach out to the Creator of the project. It looks like their personal project, and it's not something that is part of normal modding
dumping itself is slow, but you shouldn't be dumping unless you're creating a skin. You should just restart your game
so, with lumafly launcher, the launch vanilla just crashes instantly every time, I'm guessing it's not supposed to do that
Do you have Steam turned off?
i asked them. And this was their response
Although that's not something I've tried myself, this sounds like the tool that's used for split screen hk multiplayer
is there a mod that shows the locations of all mask shards etc.? (also I would prefer if it wouldn't show the ones I collected already, I can't keep up 😭)
Vanilla map mod
But I wouldn't recommend using mods on your presumably first playthrough
no no it's not my first, just can't keep up with what i've collected and what not
thanks btw
Any way to mod hollow knight on a steam deck? Just want some skins (and probably make my own once I figure it out)
Fixing Common issues on Linux/SteamDeck
- Controller Doesn't Work / [Some Mod] isn't working!
- By default (especially on SteamDeck) Steam may be using Proton and installed the Windows version of the game. This can have problems on it's own, but also causes issues because the Mod Installers will install the Linux version of the ModdingAPI, which isn't fully compatible with the Windows version.
- How to Fix: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)
- After this you'll need to select "Change Paths" in your Mod Installer and change it to the new install path (which you can get by using the "Browse Local Files" option in Steam, then reinstall your mods.
- Game crashes when when starting / while playing!
- Add
-force-openglto the steam launch arguments. Note: This can be a problem even if playing Vanilla, but it is commonly seen when Modding because of the greater resources used.
- Add
- Mods not saving correctly / loading correctly
- This can happen if the Permissions in your Hollow Knight install get messed up. You can fix this by making sure that the current user (or all users) have permissions for the Hollow Knight install directory and subdirectory & files. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, then you can open terminal, use
CD "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/"to get to the Steam Apps directory, and then usesudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight"to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.
- This can happen if the Permissions in your Hollow Knight install get messed up. You can fix this by making sure that the current user (or all users) have permissions for the Hollow Knight install directory and subdirectory & files. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, then you can open terminal, use
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.

where do i download scarab
You can find everything in the pins 
That being said, there is a new installer, lumafly, which is scarab but better, the link to which is just above your message
ye thx, i think lumafly is way better ngl
does lumafly's easysoulrefill cheese the pantheons (by giving you full soul at the start of every fight)
i still wanna have a vanilla experience for this final stretch of my first playthrough
It does make it a bit easier but I wouldn't say it's cheese
it is definitely going to be easier, especially since some sections/bosses can leave you on low health, and drain all your soul coming into the next fight
at the end of the day you are the only one to judge whether you achieved something you are proud off
If you do seriously want a vanilla experience, then do it modless first. Even skins can change things in small ways. & I'd say unintended soul gain is more than a small change.
can someone help me in #art-discussion
is there a list of modded bosses that include ones that aren't on lumafly somewhere?
I don't think the overlap between art-disc and modding-disc users is very big lol
And if it was, they would've already seen it as they are active in art-disc
I just want to know the file path to sprites, specificly the ground sprites

is there a mod that adds new areas. Not reordering rooms like glimmering realm and adding lore with abilities and bosses.

I don’t really think so…
Pale court technically does that, maybe it is worth checking "story of a hk player"

if somone would agree then you could make it simmilar to mushroom enemies

sorryyyy
No need to be sorry 
hey sorry quick question, when a mod says it's not usable with rando or does not support rando
does it mean you can't play with it alongside rando
or simply won't be randomized?
Depends on the mod
could someone help me to find where the sprites are that HK uses for the ground/structures in the forgotten crossroads?
There's a pin with a Google Drive of the sprite resource folders
They aren't in a raw version in the game files if that's what you're expecting
Iv already looked through that, and I can't find anything that looks like the ground or even looks like a part of the ground
?tag noping
There's no need to ping someone that's actively chatting with you 
Srry
At any rate, you could also use Custom Knight and dump the files in that room
I'm trying to find the ground files so I can reference them and remake them in geometry dash
_ _
If you can't find them in the Sprite dump that exists, then you'll need to dump them yourself
Custom Knight's is the most intuitive way to do it, since you just go into the room you want, then go into the CK menu and press "Start Dumping"
Then you can look in the Dump folder and see what images it finds
Ngl I'm eating rn, but could you help me with this in a couple minutes?
If you need more help I'd probably suggest looking at the dumping section of the Skin making guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zjc8Nh_6u4zBtJ22r_8YunRgP24_1UQBPabFiG8PZ5A/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.z22g4kzbo0r

Synchronized HKMP Experience
HKMP allows players to interact with each other, but it does not synchronize the world in any way itself.
esoullink doesnt seem to increase hp in my 2 player run as all regular enemies take the same amount of nail hits
is it only for bosses
Maybe it has options to fine tune that sort of detail
In concept it can make enemies have more hp… maybe it will be noticeable on bigger enemies that take several hits

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.

Guys how to get back to um city of tears without city crest
I maybe accident teleported outside
then accidentally teleport back in
Otherwise you'll need to come back via the tram or elevator unless you opened one of the stags
Mine is one I made myself, tho it’s not completely done yet, there’s more than 1200 sprites to be drawn-
Also done with the minion charms - still working on making grimmchild a moth
Little grimm & Infection of light
Scion (infected vessel)
All of those sound fire
could you send a pic it sounds amazing
what does the hash mean in rando
The hash is a code that allows when playing with other players to make sure you're all using the same seed
It’s meaningless gibberish that is "unique" to a specific combinaison of settings (*)

Ping isn't needed, thanks. If there's someone other than yourself that contributed, you can do credits however you want, there's nothing standardized.

- With the skin images themselves visible
- Example screenshots (yours should look like this):
nah this is not what i meant, i meant stuff like unbreakable strength's multiplier, grimm child's bullet damage, lifeblood core's amount of masks, etc..
not just charms but also stuff like vengeful spirit damage and so on
For game rebalancing yeah, I don't know if there's a mod that specifically allows to rebalance all of that, but if there isn't, to do so probably a mod similar to debug would need to be made
charm changer
yes yes i'm just asking if there's a tool or a way to access data so you can manually change those values
he literally said he wasn't sure/didn't know 
Neko literally posted the mod that does it ...
Well, he csn use what's available for now
Yeah, debug can change lots of things
debugging the bug game
You cant even progress with 0 damage 🙄 you can't break anything
where do i go to start modding? (i have fireborns youtube vid open)
fireb0rn's vid is pretty much still the best guide currently
The only real difference is that
- Now Lumafly is used instead of Scarab
- If you use Custom Knight, you need to load the game and a save file with it installed once before you can properly setup skins.
yes
?tag lumafly
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.
Why didn't they just enable Workshop for the game?
Because Hollow Knight does not have official mod support?
Like, game developers can just hit the magic "use steam workshop" button and it just suddenly is available 
They have to integrate a Modding system into their game and implement steam API to use the workshop
Can anyone help me because I'm on Xbox and my void heart costs 5 notches
I assume you mean Xbox Games on PC. That usually only happens if you were using mods that edit VH on that file, and then stop using them. Some mods make permanent file changes.
There's a Charm Changer mod that should have an option to Reset all Charms
Nah like 100% xbox
Like the console
Ah, then rip

what does saboteur's seal (hollowpoint spore shroom) do?
SABOTEUR Uses a balanced approach to combat, carrying gas abilities that helps with prolonged fights. Weapons: Rifle (Default Gun), Carbine and Light Machine Gun. Passive: Improve the chemical components of your gun, slightly increasing your bullet's velocity and damage. Down Spell: Release a gas pulse useful for enemies that get too close. Up Spell: Call in a storm of sulphur, scattering the entire screen with dung bombs.
The githubs readme covers the classes
can the absolute inferno king grim be downloaded on scarab?
I think so i dont remember the modlist but eitherway lumafly is better to use
ok, ty
couldn't it be cool to have a charm that sets your mask's to one but it's cost zero notches think about it it would be one of the best for radiant bosses because you could use fury of the fallen
Not a charm but GodSeekerPlus has an option to set your hp to 1 when entering a fight

Hello
is it possible to fight pale prince and inferno king grim at the same time using the nightmare and void mod?
I have a 110 hour save and I recently installed two mods and I went to play and now I'm stuck in the clouds and I can't move or exit the game
what mods did u install
First I installed pale court then I installed extra maps(crystal palace and godhome)
try to disable api and then play again
What's API?
Also I've uninstalled all the mods I downloaded
I got them on scarab
is it still like that
Yes
i dont recommend scarab u should use lumafly instead
I would but bro I can't even move in my 110h save 😭
alr im trying to think of a solution lmao
Tyty
u can use debug mod to give urself everything in another save
Would I do that on scarab?
My phone is cracked sorry
But this is all I see
as i said i dont recommend scarab if you play on the current patch
i mean if u care about the percentage and not abt the hours u can use debug mod to give urself everything and get 112% again
I'm at 110% so it would be the same right
How would I do that
install debug mod from lumafly
and then u can give urself every item, every charm and stuff im pretty sure
u can just use noclip to do the pantheons easily too
But then thas cheating
dawg the game cheated you
use debug mod and use noclip to get out of that spot then
"that's cheating"
that was probably just a one time glitch u can use mods
What's the noclip mod called?
debug mod
its a little confusing at the start but you can use a yt tutorial
@looking to play manhunt i need 3 to 4 ppl
are u gonna be the speedrunner
ye
are u good at the game
i beat the game in 2 hours today
im sorry but thats so long
in steall soul
What button is for noclipping 😭
yeah that's reasonable
it was glitchless btw
click cheats and noclip
so do u wanna do it with me or???
My mouse ain't showing up
nah sorry
u shouldnt say this in #modding-discussion btw
go to #speedrunning or sum
Probably the HKMP server is the most likely place to find manhunt players
oh right that's a server
U have to pause the game to use your mouse right but I can't pause the game so if I enable noclipping in a different save will it enable it in this one too?
By pause I mean press esc
why cant u press esc
I physically can but it doesn't work because I'm stuck
Like I can't quit to menu for that too
alt f4
close it so u can go into options when u re open the game.
Nothings happening when I press alt f4
is the game open rn?
open the game then
can u open ur inventory while u are there
No
then idk just create a new save and give everything u had in ur 110% save to the new save
it technically isnt cheating
Would it be better to ask how the game only (non loading) timers works here, in #speedrunning or the modding sever?
do u mean livesplit?
it would be better to ask in #speedrunning tho
Open a working save first, then press f1 to see Debug's menu and in the "binds" section bind "toggle cursor" to the key you want, then use that in your broken save to be able to use Debug's menu there
I can't see binds
