wraith wyvern
#

so now in skins

#

with new folder

lean steppe
#

You drop it there and it should work..

wraith wyvern
#

so just in skins

#

no more new folders

dense wigeon
#

Drop it there (there being its own folder) AND make sure it's named correctly

wraith wyvern
#

im lost

dense wigeon
#

The instructions haven't changed

wraith wyvern
#

my brain changed

#

from dumb to dumber

lean steppe
#

Progress

#

💀

wraith wyvern
#

yes

dense wigeon
#

Make a new folder in skins. Put the sprite sheet you downloaded in it. Make sure file is named correctly

wraith wyvern
#

oh

#

folder name doesnt do anythin right?

dense wigeon
#

Doesn't matter

wraith wyvern

Oh wow

still aint working what

dense wigeon
wraith wyvern
#

aspid grimmchild

dense wigeon
#

Yeah, that's wrong.

wraith wyvern
#

i tried my best 😦

dense wigeon
#

It needs yo match the name in Default which is probably just "Grimmchild"

wraith wyvern
#

so where do i put it

#

skins

#

or what

prime copper
#

same folder

lean steppe
#

Skins->your skin folder->png named grimmchild

prime copper
#

but change the name of the file

wraith wyvern
#

ok

#

still not working

lucid thicket
#

Should be Grimm.png

lean steppe
#

Arent all the downloads suposed to be named properly from the install?

#

Maybe its different for the individual dowloads

dense wigeon
wraith wyvern
#

so its in skins, i made a folder for it, and renamed it Grimm.png

lean steppe
#

Yeah should work

dense wigeon
#

(.png only if extensions are visible)

lean steppe
wraith wyvern
#

didnt work

dense wigeon
# lean steppe 💔<:grubsad:316743976474509314>

For general misc. stuff it's rely not a problem, the default folder is there fir reference. Enemies uploaded without their global hash are a much worse problem because most people don't know how to find them

#

dense wigeon
#

Like the screenshots you posted before, but of how it looks currently

wraith wyvern
#

ok

dense wigeon
#

The file needs to be just inside the aspid folder. Not inside another folder

wraith wyvern
#

it is inside aspid folder

prime copper
#

starting to think this is april fools

dense wigeon
#

No its not

wraith wyvern
#

yes it is

prime copper
#

you should take it out

wraith wyvern
prime copper
#

and rename the file if you havent already

lean steppe
#

The png has to be named grim.png

wraith wyvern
#

😭

dense wigeon
#

(Maybe I was wrong 50 messages ago about it being too late to move to help lmao)

wraith wyvern
#

man

lean steppe
#

We all start somewhere...

#

You kinda should know whats a "file" and a "folder" tho

wraith wyvern
#

i renamed it the original and now its in aspid folder

#

in the skins thing

lean steppe
#

If the original is grimm.png then it should work finally

lucid thicket
#

Yeah the original was properly named in when I downloaded it to test

wraith wyvern
#

for me it wasnt

lucid thicket
#

Assuming we both downloaded Aspid Grimmchild from there then it was properly named. But earlier you renamed the folder instead of the file so I don't know if you're looking at the right thing

lean steppe
#

Grass game completed

lucid thicket
#

it indeed is properly named by default

This is not for creating a mod in hollow knight. Rather, I am working on my game.

hey guys, is there a dataset on hollow knight in regards to tilemap i.e. which cells (x,y) on the grid have a tile or if they are empty. Also, which decorations are placed on which x,y,z coordinates.

The second (decorations) always cover up the tiles.

I am working on a procedural metroidvania generation and I need some help. I wish to use that dataset and create a procedural tilemap generator. Then I would take that tilemap as input to decorate by throwing decorations on top of it.

The issue is, I dont know how to decompile the game. I was wondering if you guys have that lying around.

Rn, I have made up a procedural generated metroidvania map. It is just rooms floating which can be pulled to a single point. After clicking bake, a pin joint is formed between the colliding walls. These pin joints would then be used to get the position of doors. The joint knows which two rooms it is joining so I can connect the scenes of both rooms using some scripting.

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

That's as close as you're getting to a guide

if you use mod packs your skins will disappear. So I've heard.

dense wigeon

Maybe if you only(always) run 400 rando mods it would be expected

Pale Court mod broke my PC again playsisco

Now I need to spend hours troubleshooting and finding out how I’m supposed to fix it

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).

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

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

 PORT:  26951

```ml

*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!*

You can make a backup

#

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

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.

Why is there no one on the HKMP PVP server?

minor hawk
#

Because HKMP as a whole is a more niche mod than people think it is, mostly because hk isn’t that much of a multiplayer game in concept
It also doesn’t help that the rather important lag of hkmp makes the PvP look unappealing from afar
Even more so the fact that you are currently thinking about playing at a time which is very much sleepy hours for the US, and a time in which Europe is still slowly waking up means that there are not that many players awake

Hey @vagrant orbit @dense wigeon, quick heads up -- the Five Pebbles (in the Skins Not in the Comprehensive List message) and Pale King (in the list doc) skins by lime have dead links.

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 it was originally working, then the most likely thing is that one of you changed your connection info. If your connection info (namely your own IP) changed, then you'll need to start a new Itemsync.

# minor hawk Is it mod differences causing issues (but then hash wouldn’t be the same right ?...

Yeah, not usually mod differences for that. Usually it's just a networking hiccup. Iirc the initial desync issue is resolved from a save and quit, but @icy schooner (or one of the regular long-time Rando racers) would probably know more. A long time ago, there was also an issue when quitting to menu before creating a new game instead of restarting the whole game, but I think that's been fixed.

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.

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

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:

Taking and posting Screenshots makes troubleshooting a lot simpler, and is far more legible than taking a picture of your monitor. For more detailed instructions and options, see https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

🔹 Windows

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

🔹 MacOS

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

You don’t have the pale court charms
Because you didn’t do the pale court content that you need to do in order to get the charms ? That is true regardless of if you are playing on rando, with a new save, an old save, a steel soul save…

What is your issue ? zote

just wondering if pale court is active because on my 112% run I can see im missing 4 charms

my new file has 6 EXTRA notches

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.

Common MacOS Problems & Fixes

Installer cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer:

On MacOS 15 (Sequoia) or later:

  • Try to open the app once, then go to the System Settings and click "Privacy and Security" in the side bar.
  • Scroll down to the security section. The installer should appear there, click the "Open" button next to it.
  • Click "Open Anyway". You might need to enter your password there.
    With an older version of MacOS:
  • In the Finder on Mac, locate the app you want to open. Don’t use Launchpad to do this! It doesn’t allow access the shortcut menu.
  • Control + Left-Click the app icon, then choose "Open" from the shortcut menu.
  • Left-Click "Open".
    • Note: You may need to do this twice, as the "Open" button doesn’t always appear the first time.
      The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it like normal.

Installer doesn't open correctly on MacOS:

  • Right-Click the Installer icon, and select "show contents".
  • Go into Contents then to the MacOS folder, and double-click the file with the same name as your installer (Scarab or Lumafly).
    • If that step didn’t start the installer but instead opened a terminal window with an exception saying that the access to a path was denied, you’ll need to run the app as administrator:
    • While in the MacOS folder mentioned above, right-click the folder’s name in the path at the bottom of the Finder’s window, and select "open in terminal".
    • Type the command sudo ./Lumafly or sudo ./Scarab (depending on your installer) in the terminal window then press enter.
    • Type your password, then press enter. The installer should now start.

Cannot Launch HK after updating MacOS or after changing patches:

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

Custom knight really is the most beginner friendly mod I know of

Some custom knight skins change much more than how the knight looks, including altering the written lore. Generally wouldn't recommend for a first playthru

How do I hide the masks and basically everything to the top left

I might be stupid and missing something, but... I can't find an invincibility mod. I'm fighting the Soul Sanctum boss and it's been about 25 attempts, and to be honest, I'm just not having fun anymore. I'm sure it's some weird psychological thing, and I understand failure and struggle are a big part of the game, but... not this much. It's to a point where I'm not looking forward to satisfaction of finally beating this boss, I'm just bored and a little frustrated. So, because at the end of the day I'm playing to have fun and enjoy the story, I want to just install an invincibility mod, trash this boss, and then turn the mod off and keep playing (at least unless I hit another boss who I can't beat after hours and hours)

#

To clarify, I'm on Windows, Steam, and I have Lumafly installed and stuff

dense wigeon
#

you can turn on invicibility with debug

That'll do it! Thank you!

I've started a rando with a friend using ItemSync, and my game crashed (might be because of another mod, idk it doesn't matter).
How can we resume our save ? Simply loading the save doesn't seem to let us connect to an ItemSync server

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/

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!*

Custom 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 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.

No not at all

Mods usually don’t cause any sort of punishment unless multiplayer is involved

lunar root

Steam itself has a modding page for certain games

And since hk has no multiplayer
There will never be any sort of punishment

Eitherway the punishment wouldnt even be from steam but the devs of said online multiplayer game
