Hello, I am new to all of this so this might be a dumb question but I am currently trying out custom skins for the first time and I really like the Grub skin from the Grub 1.2 package. With the Custom Knight mod it works but for when you do an upward slash it changes to the default skin temporarily. I was wondering if thats a bug or if that animation wasnt added,
Thanks in advance

fierce flame
#

that animation wasn’t added

regal sail
#

Ah ok, thanks for the quick answer

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.

SO does anyone knows how to create a custom skin and could do a Sonic mod for me ? i would remunerate

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

Hello, @grizzled rampart. Do you think it would be possible to add a setting to the charm changer rando mod that scales the charms based on the randomized charm notch cost instead of it being independent?

wth that's fire

But very hard to implement i think

Yeah, assuming you are on the latest patch, then it's just in your config settings

Which you find by right clicking the game on steam, and selecting Manage Local Files

#

I've looked in every single setting in the menu and nothing says anything at all about screen shake

I've set the camera shake to 0 and it still shakes the same

#

I also set the fps cap to 200 and it's running at 400 so it doesn't seem to have changed anything at all

Have you reloaded the gamefeelspkman

Hollow Point FAQ | Install | ReadMe

Gun doesn't work / HUD is jank

  • Hollow Point doesn't work on new saves. Save and quit, then reload the save file.
  • Having multiple Gun Class charms equipped can also break the gun.
  • Hollow Point is not compatible with some other mods, such as Pale Court.
  • Despite what the ReadMe says, you do not need ModCommon for it

Healing isn't working!

  • If you are playing with Hollow Point Enabled, then read the ReadMe (linked at the top of this post) to learn how healing and using spells works.
  • If you've Disabled Hollow Point, and healing isn't working:

Not working with Custom Knight skins!

This is a known issue, and Custom Knight is not considered compatible with HP.

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing mods ⚠️

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

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

Hollow Point FAQ | Install | ReadMe

Gun doesn't work / HUD is jank

  • Having multiple Gun Class charms equipped can also break the gun.
  • Hollow Point is not compatible with some other mods, such as Pale Court.
  • Despite what the ReadMe says, you do not need ModCommon for it

Healing isn't working!

  • If you are playing with Hollow Point Enabled, then read the ReadMe (linked at the top of this post) to learn how healing and using spells works.
  • If you've Disabled Hollow Point, and healing isn't working:

Not working with Custom Knight skins!

This is a known issue, and Custom Knight is not considered compatible with HP.

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

  • Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
  • You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot
  • You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer

Reverting Backups

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

Modded Saves

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

Where are the files?

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

I need a specific type of save file

Editing save files

  • MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
  • QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor
  • DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod

Windows won't let me open the Mod Installer

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

Installer vanishes after downloading / loads a blank screen

This is commonly because one or more issues:

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

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Resources

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

I want to do my yearly 112% run of this game, but thought I might spice it up with some mods.

Hello am trying to install the pale court mod for Hollow Knight on my steamdeck but when I attempt to do so there are these purple squares that show up in the main menu. I took a suggestion I found online which was to use Steam Play None but when I use that the normal Hollow Knight menu loads instead of the Pale Court one and when I go under mods nothing shows there even though I have them installed. Am using LumaFly but also tried Scarab earlier. Its worth noting that the purple squares look very ugly and am trying to get rid of them so I can enjoy the mod without seeing a pixelated mess.

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-opengl to 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.
  • 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 use sudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight" to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.

It doesn't, mainly because the sprite is handled by the nailUpgrades variable and debug doesn't interact with it (except when resetting to base damage)

I have a question. So as it turns out nothing was wrong with my mods not working. It appears that the only mod that fails to work for me at all when using steam play none is the Pale Court mod. Does that specific mod require a certain version of Hollow Knight to function properely? It seems whenever I try to run it its either purple squares with the Pale Court menu or the menu fails to load entirely showing only the normal HK menu. Other mods such as Custom Knight seem to work fine and load in with LumaFly.

My crystal dash takes longer to charge the longer I have the game open. I thought I'd ask here for a simple fix before posting on #1057825333841240104. No idea what is causing it.

Also, something that may be happening is sometimes hitting enemies does not refill the additional soul vessels beside the big one, while dream nail and soul totems do. But other times it works fine so might be my imagination.

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Resources

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):

Make sure you aren't using any incompatible mod. You'll find a list in the bot's message below:

fathom wigeonBOT
#

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

  • HKTool and WeaverCore are not compatible with Pale Court (or each other)
  • AdditionalMaps, 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).

anyone knowledgeable about game files and saves in particular to help me. tryna uninstall lumafly and all its components from my game folder.

swift bison
#

Save files are unaffected by lumafly. If you want to “unmod” your game, I think lumafly has a button for “Disable API” or you can verify the game files through steam if you got it there.

#

The only file lumafly changes is Assembly-CSharp.dll to make it load mod files, otherwise it only adds mod files

not disable

#

disable api does that?

fiery creek

this wouldve been nice 2 weeks ago nice that its here tho

swift bison
# flat junco disable api does that?

It reverts your game to the unmodded state (mod files may still exist, but they aren’t loaded). If you want to delete your mods, uninstall all of them on lumafly.

If you want to go really hardcore on deleting mods, there’s a couple things left behind after that:

  • Mods folder in the hollow knight installation
  • Mod settings files/mod save data in your save files. Again your original save files don’t have mod stuff inside them, but there’s extra files there for mods’ settings and other information they might need to store.
#

If you’re worried about lumafly itself, unless it’s been greatly altered, the only file related to it is the executable file itself

slender sequoia
nimble oyster

i think they intended for it to be a challenge skin based on their replies in the comments

which i imagine is no longer available

so that specific skin isnt available most likely however you can find multiple other PV/THK skins on the skin doc ponder_approve

what i want is like to remove them from the game folders completely

#

folders like the locallow folder where the save games are

slender sequoia
swift bison
# flat junco folders like the locallow folder where the save games are

If you want to remove mod settings and stuff from there, I believe you can just delete everything with a .json extension. Those .json files might also have corresponding .bak files (backups), but be careful of deleting unrelated files. Just wondering, why do you want to delete everything? Mod settings files won’t do anything if your game is unmodded, and they don’t take up much storage

What are you trying to do exactly? This mod most likely only works on an older patch (1.4), and there's no release available so you would need to compile it yourself (or to get someone to do it for you). A good amount of its features are also present in QoL, which works on current patch and is way easier to install since it's on the installers

flat junco
#

i dont have it on steam

Well your launcher should have something equivalent

But disabling the api should work fine too. Note that in either case, changes made to your save files will not be reverted if you did any

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Resources

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):

Can someone help me get mod installer 2 to work

vagrant orbit
#

There's not really a reason to use that installer anymore. If what you need isn't answered in the pins, then probably actually explain more.

is there a mod that adds a map of white palace? I find it annoying that it doesn't give you a map

vagrant orbit
#

Generally, if you search Lumafly for a thing, you'll find whether or not it exists alliso32Lol

#

"Additional Maps" would be the name, fwiw

Or, learn the magic of copy/paste & just do it themselves?? moving images between folders isn't that hard LMAO

Ping isn't needed thanks. & That wasn't one of the examples you gave, everything you listed in your original post is on it's own sheet. And actually editing other people's art isn't really supported around here other than for personal use.

Random guessing isn't really trying tho? Like, checking the readme should be one of the first things if you're unfamiliar with what you're trying to help with

Hi, I'm new to HK Modding, but there's a question that I'm really curious about.
Why HK community prefers to use mod loaders like Svarab? Hollow Knight seems like your-average-mono-unity-game that could've theoretically be set up to work with good old BepInEx, why not use it?

fierce flame
#

zote i don’t know the answer to that but i can assume it’s because of the added blot of using a mod launcher like thunderstore (overwolf) and or nexus

Hello there

#

Unless you mean that IF you would need to use a mod launcher you have to use either of them, but that's really not the case

minor hawk
#

btw, if you wanna go more in depth into this, there is a modding server in which you are gonna be able to talk to more mod dev, and the dev of lumafly

(link in the pins, though dwarf does know hk modding quite well)

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.
