is there a way to change the music of some bosses

#

also anyone know how to use the sunset samsara mod it wont work...

lucid thicket
#

For your first question you can use CustomBGM, make sure to read its readme to see how it works. For your second question, open your mods folder (there should be a button to do that on your installer), there should be a Sunset Samsara II folder with another Sunset Samsara II folder inside, with some files inside. Move the files to the first of the 2 folders and delete the second one

thank you so much

How do you download the mods

#

Is there a mod that makes all enemies in general stronger? Like bigger HP pool and more attacks dealing two masks damage?

#

Or maybe a mod where I can change those parameters myself?

#

I think I found what I need, but I'm still open to input 🙂

Hello everyone ! I'm working on a Hollow Knight Skin meant to bring Cult of the Lamb characters into the game. I am currently using Custom Knight Creator, but I also want to modify some NPC (Quirrel, Elderbug ect) but cannot find a way to do so with CKC nor can I find a skin that did so that I can learn from.

I'm very new to making skins so I'm a bit confused on what to do now, any ideas ?

minor hawk
#

You can definitely swap enemies and such, there is a very good guide by hbkit who should cover most of this
And if you have further question, the modding server has a channel (art-general or smt) in which many skin artists share their progress

Is there any mod which allows me to fight any boss I want?

That’s a vanilla feature called godhome and the hall of gods I believe ?

You can find Godhome in the trash pit, you can find it by exploring Royal waterways, though you need a simple key to get in

Oh-
But the boss arena will change too right? don't want that

Hej, first time installing mods (Custom knight). The skins work but I don't seem to be able to use my PS controller anymore while keyboard inputs are fine. Anyone had the same issue and managed to solve it? I'm on windows!

?tag controller

fathom wigeonBOT
#

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:

**If your game is cracked / pirated hollowpirate **

  • Piracy is not supported in most communities for games (including this one), and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main community servers for them.
  • Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games. (Console versions, and unofficial versions are not supported)
  • If you do not have a supported version, then please get one and then you will get support with modding the game. Asking for assistance with unsupported versions may result in moderation action.
  • Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/

Does any mod allow me to respawn the spirits in spirits glade

dense wigeon
#

No, that would require save editing

#

?tag saveedit

fathom wigeonBOT

Editing save files

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

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

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.

  • Lumafly Shortcuts: Open Mods Folder | Open Saves Folder

  • **Windows except XBox Games ** 🪟

    • Save Files: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
    • Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\
    • Mod Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
    • To find Saves folder:
      1. Press [WindowsKey] + [R]
      2. Copy & Paste the Save Files path
      3. Press [Enter]

  • XBox Games/Gamepass 🎮: type ?tag gamepass into chat for more info.

  • 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/
    • Mod Files: Right-click hollow_knight.app, select "show contents", then go to: contents ᐅ resources ᐅ data ᐅ managed ᐅ mods
    • To find Saves folder:
      1. In the Finder, click "Go" in the top menu and select "Go to folder"
      2. Copy and paste the Save Files path and press enter.

  • **Linux ** 🐧

    • Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/
    • Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

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.

Custom knight can skin almost anything in the game. So since it's multi purposs there's not really need for tons of cosmetic mods, although there are others like Palette Swapper & Hue Shifter

You enter the site with the bingo board and you click on it once you clear the conditions

Afaik no, only with the Sync that does it automatically

But as said above, I think it doesn't handle all cases

Ping isn't needed thanks. And Custom Knight could do that, if someone made the sprites for it. There's also a camera filter that makes the game pixellated, but I don't know that it's available anywhere other than Hollow Twitch

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer) | Notion

HKMP is a multiplayer Hollow Knight mod by Extremelyd1. This mod allows players to see each other and explore the world together. With the help of some additional mods, it’s possible to have items and partial enemy sync (learn more).

For future reference
You have currently 3 bingo mods
Bingo UI counts stuff
Bingo board simply shows a board on the screen
BingoSync automatically marks goal on the board (except with randomiser goals in which it is sometimes iffy
The way bingosync works is that it creates a fake player, which is you ingame, that marks squares
That often leads to you being in the room twice, in game, and on browser (you don’t need to be on browser)

Basically like how the original game does
You draw a bunch of sprite
You write a bunch of code that tell a hitboxs to move a certain way and define those as attacks
Link those attacks with the sprites
Make an attack graph that looks wonky that tells the boss how and when to attack

Unless I manually edit the save file, mods do not interfere with the games save file right?

They kind of obviously do
As in,they add many variables,for example transcandence traks the new charms you have

Godsoul deletes dgate

But generally mods dont change the base game variables,if thats what you mean

#

As a general rule, you should always make a backup of save files before modding any game

#

?tag savefiles

fathom wigeonBOT
#

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

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

Reverting Backups

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

Modded Saves

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

Where are the files?

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

I need a specific type of save file

Editing save files

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

  • 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

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.

Well, if they aren't they at least have one hell of available soul

But in general I'd say Standard Deco Master Map > Scattered and Lost > Abyssal Temple > PoP

For me they gave as much as the normal white palace totems

dense wigeon

they should be infinite. You might have other conflicting mods if you're certain Pale Court is updated

fathom solar

It is updated but I might and I don’t really care I used debug mod to get to the abyssal bloom cause I was not doing that shit

tbh those totems are infinite half the time

it is weirdly unconsistent

#

Also why is emrays PV skin for the knight not include all of the knights animations? Like sitting or a few others

#

And it’s horns like wobble sometimes it’s weird

dense wigeon
#

It doesn't have all the animations because the skin author didn't feel like making those sheets. & if you're using the older version it's wobbly because it was made before any of the sprite packing programs existed

Modding and Achievements

  • Mods do not normally prevent you from getting Achievements.
    • If you want to prevent them, you can use the Disable Achievements mod.
    • If a mod changes/removes something that's part of an achievement trigger, then you won't get that achievement.
  • In many cases, achievements are still earned, but the pop-ups do not come up when modding.
  • In some rare cases, players report not getting achievements when modding. While this is not normal, it should be mentioned that it can happen.
    • This is often tied to them doing something like skipping something with QoL (such as credits), and thus skipping the actual trigger for the Achievement.
    • Some mods that rely on SFCore such as Hallownest Vocalized can sometimes prevent achievements from working.

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 or Fn + 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):

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 or Fn + 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.

I have an old save file (my first ever completed run) and it is also my Godhome playground. I did it all vanilla. Somewhat recently, I opened the save without turning off mods (like Pale Court) and it revoked my Void Idol, among other things.

I'm wondering, if I reload the save file after turning off mods, will the save be corrupted?

dense wigeon
#

Probably not hit you'll have to see. It's always good practice to back up saves you care about

#

In the case of the void idol uts almost certainly just that with the mod installed you hall of gods was incomplete

Yeah for sure. A fun challenge ahead, I guess. I just don't want it to become unplayable by accident.

hi i was redirected here from HK help. problem is i cant casts spells at all? i can focus and the animation will end but it doesn't grant me any hp. yes i have enough soul. same with spells, i try to use spirit and itll make the cast animation but no spell will come out and enemies wont take damage. started happening after trying the randomizer mod, turning the mod off didn't help either, nor did remapping controls.
base hollow knight works as intended.
i have installed the following mods,
Pure soul, custom knight and enemy randomizer. as well as the base mods that came with lumafly like satchel.

the problem has now religated itself to the groundpound and vengeful spirit, healing worked as did abyssal shriek

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

How it works

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

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch```

*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!*

Editing save files

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

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

Bruh all the filler bosses do nothing but add to the time cost for the boss rush. Nobody's dying to Hornet, False knight, Massive Moss Charger and the like (which make up about 50% of all the bosses), but if you die you have to do all those bosses again, making a 30 min run into 1 hour.

I think there's probably a way to look at modlinks directly (the place the installer pulls the mods from), but I dunno how. If you don't have HK on pc it's kind of a moot point since you can't mod tho. But if you want to do that maybe someone else will say how

that seems like a particularly inefficient way to get information on mods

on th installer they're neatly organized & searchable with the descriptions & readmes included

I'd enjoy a mod that lets you obtain the Lumafly Lantern from Brooding Mawlek.

#

Would be a lot more interesting than the Mask Shard you get.

That's doable with rando custom injectors

Maybe I'll consider that.

#

Well, I got an explanation for why the Nexus page is so barren.

Yeah rando injectors allow you to get any items assigned to any location.

Lore Master seems like a really neat idea.

Are there mods on lumafly that aren't compatible with the latest steam patch of HK?

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 hollowpirate 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:

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 or Fn + 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.

Pale court is always fun

True

#

I've been wanting to play that one for a while

vagrant orbit
# autumn raft Any mod recommendations for a second playthrough of the game?
  • The Glimmering Realm is meant to be a "Second Quest" style experience
  • AllHallownestEnhanced is meant to be for a second playthrough, that is somewhat balanced
  • Charm Crab is meant to be for a second playthrough, that is somewhat balanced
  • Hollow Point is meant to be for a second playthrough, that is funny and has guns (note that it requires the QoL mod)
  • GodSoul is meant for a second playthrough but it's terrible and not meant to be beatable
  • Hallownest Vocalized is meant for a second playthrough, and makes some minor changes, but it's mostly the normal gameplay but with voice acting.
  • Lightbringer is one of the original second-playthrough mods, and it's pretty fun but is definitely rough around the edges due to being a pretty old mod. This isn't on installers afaik, but can be found using the ?tag extramods command in chat
  • Various "extra locations" mods that generally require Item changer, including Transcendence, Lost Artifacts, and Bomber Knight. These add locations to the game with extra items.

That last one 😭

Pale Court is very good, but it's not intended to be for a second playthrough- it takes place at the end of a vanilla save file

Ah

You can use it in a new play through, but you wont really see any effects until after having ||All Three Dreamers||

does boss sync work?

autumn raft
#

I'd still have to beat the game anyway, I originally played it on Xbox and got it again on steam since I got a new laptop

vagrant orbit
# raw snow does boss sync work?

Yes, but it may not do what you're expecting: it synchronizes the game state of bosses being defeated. It does not affect bosses themselves.

so we cant see the same boss at the same time

Anyways, thank you so much kind modder!! I'll make sure to check out these mods later when I get home

  • Pail Curt Zailants Surprise (adds Additional Content)
  • Test of Teamwork (adds a second, harder, PoP area)
  • Lost Artifacts (adds a new series of findable items similar to Charms)
  • Transcendence (adds a new series of hidden Charms
  • Loremaster (Adds a lot of abilities, related to lore/dialogue)
  • Skill Upgrades (Optionally modifies your skills/spells; more fun when playing Rando imo)
  • The Glimmering Realm (A "second quest" that makes the existing assets of the game feel like a new game area)

Additional note: Charm Crab is apparently a "game overhaul" mod, that modifies a lot of things in the game (I know it modifies charms, but I think it tweaks a few other things as well). It's meant to give a new experience to a fresh playthrough, but it notably conflicts with most mods other than plain Rando.

  • I don't like this tag, personally
  • While this tag is based on me responding to someone else with a similar question, I didn't feel that it was a great response here since it's somewhat out of date. I'd like to lump all of the things like Transcendence and Bomber Knight into one blurb.

At the bare minimum, God Soul requires Invincibility Monitor to be beatable

lean steppe
#

And one of the patch notes said "makes the game beateble"

vagrant orbit
#

The update made a lot of effects happen more / added more hazards

lean steppe
#

Hm

#

Im not gonna argue too much but beating ieg is only really possible due to te being allowed

Unless ahe overwrites godsoul into more playeble

Which i dont feel like is true

Ieg being impossible 112 enhanced godsoul

Actually nvm,i forget jonis blesding is 4->0 which is like free health

You dont have to do parkour tho

Well godsoul sucks regardless so its a pretty irrelevant topic

# lean steppe Well godsoul sucks regardless so its a pretty irrelevant topic

My main memory is that both fireb0rn and Cranky played it on an early patch, and then at least one was considering playing it again because of the updates, but the updates changed some things that would have made their playthroughs more difficult, but I don't remember the specifics anymore. I believe that it was some additional hazards, but unless I go directly compare patches, I'm probably not going to know completely correctly.

More like the opposite

#

I think Lost Artifacts + Transcendence works fine, haven't really tried too many combinations

#

In general I don't try too many of them at once

#

Since if I do a Test of Teamwork platforming challenge, I kind of don't want to have Transcendence charms that weren't designed for that particular challenge

earnest wave
#

What if I want to use AllHallownestEnhanced, Charm Crab, Lore Master, and Lost Artifacts together? EDIT: Also SkillUpgrades.

well first off ahe modifies charms too so disable that

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

How it works

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

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Co-op (PVP disabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26951
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Infection Tag
 IP:    tag.hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HKMP Tag and at least three players```
*Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!*

Hi, I have a small question. I want to tweak some settings, the mode says they are tweakable in the settings file, I see that file in the repository, but the folder that Scarab points me to ("Open Mods" button) doesn't have that file. Where should I look for it? Or shoould I manually put it in the mod folder?

lean steppe
#

Settings file? Not mod srttings in game?

#

Idk any mods that act like that

Unless maybe decomaster creator or smth..

One of the 1.4 installers is fully broken, you need to use the other one or just install manually

#

(Also why ask if someone else has them when you've already found them? You could have led with the fact you found them but were trying to use what happens to be a broken installer)

reef anvil
#

well why not exhaust all avenues? If I can find it through some other method while i'm waiting on the owner of the website i found it on to get back to me then i don't have to worry if they can't find it

dense wigeon
#

My point is you were asking the wrong question, in a way that made it sound like it may not even exist.

My suggestion is just use the other installer, or install it manually

How fast HK:SS modding client and MP be available from release date? Few month or few hours?

Most modders will probably want to actually play the game first zote aside from the fact you can't predict how fast something will be made for something that doesn't exist yet
