You drop it there and it should work..
Drop it there (there being its own folder) AND make sure it's named correctly
im lost
correctly as...
The instructions haven't changed
yes
Make a new folder in skins. Put the sprite sheet you downloaded in it. Make sure file is named correctly
Doesn't matter
ok
Colette what did you get the speedrunner role for?
ty collete
for being a speedrunner
duh
lol
You mean like my first run? That was years ago but I suppose it was probably all skills
She's known for doing randos......
ikr
I mean, I've also run all skills, 106%, TE, 112% Nkg%, p5bo and maybe a few other cats
cats
Cats
Technically I held nkg% wr for like 5 mins
still aint working what
Still haven't told us the file name
aspid grimmchild
Yeah, that's wrong.
i tried my best 😦
It needs yo match the name in Default which is probably just "Grimmchild"
same folder
Skins->your skin folder->png named grimmchild
but change the name of the file
Should be Grimm.png
Arent all the downloads suposed to be named properly from the install?
Maybe its different for the individual dowloads
Super no
Thanks wangha, I just got up and I wasn't at my pc to check
so its in skins, i made a folder for it, and renamed it Grimm.png
Yeah should work
(.png only if extensions are visible)
💔
didnt work
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
help
You are making these changes with the game closed, right?
mhm
Post a screenshot of how you have it installed now
wdym
Like the screenshots you posted before, but of how it looks currently
The file needs to be just inside the aspid folder. Not inside another folder
it is inside aspid folder
starting to think this is april fools
No its not
yes it is
the file is in a folder thats named grimm.png
you should take it out
im dying
and rename the file if you havent already
The png has to be named grim.png
😭
(Maybe I was wrong 50 messages ago about it being too late to move to help lmao)
man
If the original is grimm.png then it should work finally
Yeah the original was properly named in when I downloaded it to test
for me it wasnt
Thats what i expected
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
Grass game completed
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.

this guy said it's multiple flags ? wtf that means
so help
It means there's multiple things in the save file you need to change to make it happen
what else do i have to change
look i just want a quick easy guide to find out

Ping isn't needed thanks. And if I knew I would have said so in my first message
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
?tag savesfor more information

That's as close as you're getting to a guide
is there more of an effective way to find out other than trial and error
like a website that tells you ?
Patience until someone who does knows comes around
do you know anyone who might ?
Or, since you're just going for the cheevo, just use the achievement manager of you're going to cheat it anyway
No (and even if I did I wouldn't ping them because people that help are be here when they have time)
That is even more cheating this is a grey area, and I'm still conscious of this
this is not a pinging channel isnt it
Majority of people here don't like pings much. People over use them in a ton of (IMO) inappropriate situations.
And really very few things here are urgent enough for a ping or specific enough to warrant pinging a particular person
i like pings i think it depends on the person
whats broke brazier ?
"brummBrokeBrazier": true,
Try turning it off ans see what that does
i dont really know what i need to do
by turning off u mean swapping true to false right ?
Correct
and just move it to the unity.Team Cherry. Hollow Knight file area yuh ?
thats it ?
it worked !!!
ugh perf thanks guys
Do we already know which engine did they switch to from Unity after the infamous runtime fee fiasco?
I presume it is Godot given the fact UE 2D is ass to work with, especailly whn moving from Unity, it'd feel as a massive dowgrade
I don't know that it was confirmed they switched at all. Just assumptions
I don't remember seeing anything indicating that they switched engines
This surfaced a lot of times from different sides, my assumption is where is smoke there is a fire
I highly doubt that they switched engines
But were any of those sides actually team cherry? 
Leth said the unity thing did not impact development, so they presumably did not switch

Those are quite literally modpacks
A feature exclusive to lumafly which lets you save your currently downloaded mods as a mod pack which you will then be able to load whenever you want
Im not super familiar with the feature but it works well, just make sure that all the mods you care about are in all packs
@crisp mountain
alright ill look into it
?tag lumafly just in case

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.
Also be aware mod packs do not carry over extra mod files (such as the actual skins for Custom Knight)
what is difference between lumafly and scarab
Huh
if you use mod packs your skins will disappear. So I've heard.
I always have ck and never had to redownload skins after the initial
Unless there are exceptions or something
[That allow me to do that]
Unexpected
Why?
Maybe if you only(always) run 400 rando mods it would be expected
But still
Having some bigger/smaller,different modpacks for different kinds of randos
I mean, I have rando presets for that. I rarely ever need to disable mods
anyone know how to unbind stuff in debug mod

Pale Court mod broke my PC again 
Now I need to spend hours troubleshooting and finding out how I’m supposed to fix it
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.jsonfor that file, and edit"atDeployedBench": true,->"atDeployedBench": false,. You can type?tag savefaqfor 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).
did you ever find a solution? im having a similar issue i think

i need a bit of help with a skin for custom knight (i swear to god if anybody sends the bot message again)
or like a feature of custom knight
im asking here before i go to modding help
I kinda only deal with the usual stuff the bot message handles
But if none of it helps, it's likely a good idea to use modding help with all your specifics
If you think it's a very simple thing you can't find, someone may help here too
Just ask ahead
alr
so
whats the swap feature for
sorry if im a bit late i didnt hear the notif sound
and how do i use it
sorry if its a stupid question
I started it just fine
It just froze when I talked to Hegamol after beating the boss rush
And I couldn’t close the game or alt F4
Or move my cursor
Or press anything
Swap is used for anything that isn't part of the Knight itself (more specifically, anything that isn't part of the Default skin).
To use it, see the How to reskin Enemies/Bosses section of "the bot message"
OOOOH

also before im gone
any idea why the knight sprites aint working (no bot message please)
and yes i did use the fix my skins feature
Go to your post, and actually read the message that you didn't want
Until you do, you won't get help

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.

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

Generally speaking, to avoid issues make sure to always save on a vanilla bench before save & quitting with Pale Court. That being said you can always recover a save in case something wrong happens

Why is there no one on the HKMP PVP server?
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
yeah, I understand thank you very much bro

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.
I get the same error with lumafly too. Here is the error
Acho que eu sou o único brasileiro aqui
What platform do you have the game one? Might be because your HK isn't where the installer expects
Server languange is English
I'm on latest version of GOG. I didn't have this issue before. I think it's related to installation folder but idk how to fix it
Ping isn't needed thanks. Are you able to just point it towards your Hollow Knight folder? (where the exe is, not the Managed folder) If that doesn't work I'd suggest making a #1057825333841240104 post
No I get the same error over & over again! Ok thanks for your help
?tag noping
is there a mod that lets you redo the game's bosses as often as you like, but at their place on the map, not in the gohhome? sorry for my english
Debug mod can respawn some bosses, but that feature is quite buggy & doesn't work for all bosses.
Savestates i think
hey im trying to find the color palete swapper on scrab but i cant find it
the name is Palette Swapper. Similar but not quite the same there's also Hue Shifter
As a note Lumafly is recommended over Scarab, in part bcause it has better search.
hi guys,, anyone have a sans skin for hk???? or any unertale character :P

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. I DM'd the author on Tumblr, and they said they aren't sure if those links will be returning, but they sent me alternative links. I'm updating my website to link to them now.
Five Pebbles: https://skins.hk-modding.org/share/DBIX9ybz
Pale King: https://skins.hk-modding.org/share/aEzKfEpx
they already were notified of the dead links a while ago in the modding server
Oh, sorry 😅 In that case all good
all good since if someone asks about it ill just point them to this message if they ain’t in the modding server
Hello, does anyone have the complete || Pale King (TWP) || skin please, not the encounter with the HUD and abilities, thank you very much.
Only one link appears where the skin says public, and I want the one that appears in the fireb0rn demo video. :c
idt fire would showcase a pricate skin
so ^?
which video

You don't have to spoiler things in this channel
but I didn't give any spoilers, I marked the phrase as it says in the text :c
Ping isn't needed thanks. This channel doesn't have those spoiler rules
So what should I not say, sorry, I don't understand the rules well.
?tag noping
You can say whatever you want. That was my point, that you didn't have to hide what you are saying.
But in any case, there is no public link to the full version of TWP's Pale King skin. It was a challenge skin I believe & the challenge is over
Oh, I understand, sorry, I thought you were calling me out. I don't know much English. Thank you very much for the information. And I'm sorry I can't get the skin anymore.
Please stop pinging me
sorry guys, I'm playing hk on steam (win11) with xbox controller. But the controller will get unresponsible randomly during the game (the xbox button is still working but the controller just gets disconnected from the game). I also tried my NS controller and it's the same... Any idea how to fix it?
Sorry again for tagging you, I don't understand English well, it wasn't with bad intentions, thanks for your help
I hope I didn't cause anything bad, I take back what I did, as I said, it wasn't intentional.
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
I already tried these items... not solved
the only other thing i can think of is if your lead is broken, if you ain’t using wireless since i had that issue with my old ps4 lead and had to go through a couple of others till i found a working one
no I'm not using wireless...
I have three controllers (2 xbox and 1 NS). They all have this problem
tried to connect with bluetooth and the problem is still unsolved...
I’m new to the server and modding but I have all achievements what modded bosses would yall suggest I try fighting
hey how its the name of the mod installer? i dont remember where the hell did i put the .exe in my pc and im trying to find it
It’s called lumafly or scarab
Pale prince,inkg,corrputed kin,pale court
These are notebly good
can i just uneqip vh and get the thk ending?
What mod adds Traitor Lord to Sisters of Battle?
tribe of battle
Thanks
guys i need help i cant download mods it says "Unable to download "mod name" The site may be down or you may lack network connectivity."
Is there a site listing all the modded charms?
That sounds like an internet issue on your end
Not really. Some of them are covered on the new wiki.
If you're just looking for all the charm mods, rather than a list of the charms, you can just search on lumafly
@nocturne sky Might be kinda cool, so have a page on the wiki for Modded Charms that attempts to list them all, their effects, and what mods they are from

Someone make the game wheelchair excecable please 🙏
Im not sure if this is place to ask, but i've been having some troubles installing custom skins. I managed to successfully install two last night (little radiance and pale king skin) but when I tried again today with some other skins, they wouldnt load in (radiance and king still work fine though).

i got some items that my friend doesnt have and my friend got crystal dash and i didnt get it, how can we sync items ? im using itemsync mod
where can i get the glacier skin from ?
Look up the list at the top of the big message just above
If you want to use itemsync you need both players to install the mod, and connect to a server when they start their games
They also need to be using the exact same randomiser seed
we did all that
But the items are not syncing ?
he got crystal dash and i didnt receive it
i guess i was offline at that moment
but got back online
The items usually sync then ? Like just that one time an item didn’t sync ?
yep
and i bought a charm when he got offline but when he got back online didnt recive it
-# I don’t think this can be explained by a sudden internet failure, it would seem to me to be more like a tiny difference between mod versions between the two of you
-# But I’m not sure, and what is certainly true is that your current run is compromised
-# Like if some items don’t…
drawf is here
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.
Since you mentioned one or both going offline, I'm fairly confident this is what happened.
does this mean a new save file ?
i dont think this worth mentioning but he is using scarab and i use lumafly
The issue here being that some routers and stuff have a tendency to change ip when they feel like it
Going offline doesn’t inherently break itemsync, but *due to some internet config it will
This wouldn't affect this
-# technically or could cause other issues down the road for the person using Scarab, but in this specific case it's not important
but the ip didnt changed from the start of the save file
Yeah, reasons could include, but are not limited to
- going offline, which allows the router to assign a new local IP
- the public IP being changed by the ISP if the home connection was entirely offline
- if any VPN software is running, it generating a new IP when going back online
- changing networks entirely (like changing physical locations)
I'm not sure how you would know this. If it stopped working, then it most likely did change; again especially if you're computer was offline at any point
Out of curiosity, you sometimes get in the rando channels of the speedrun discord people saying they get "desync" at the start of a run
Do you know what they mean by that ?
yes, got it, thank you ❤️
Is it mod differences causing issues (but then hash wouldn’t be the same right ?)
Is it issues with the servers or people internet connection breaking which causes the issue we have seen here ?
Afaik that just means that the initial connection didn't work. This used to be really common, but was mostly fixed the last time mw/is updated.
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.

U can try to look for the skin u want here
How long does it take to redraw absolutely everything you can for skins/abilities?
Iirc its 500-800 sprites
But also like it depends on your own drawing speed
And somebody whos done 3 skins will obviously be much faster
You have any unused recipients in mind for flowers?
"absolutely everything" technically means the entire game at this point, since CK allows for swapping pretty much everything, so...
For skins and abbilities....
I guess skin could be enemy skin so thats kinda funny
Seer
Tho ascension is a problem(?)
A CK skin can replace enemies (see Lil Radiance)
Thats what i said
Just "absolutelly everything " of "skins/abillities" wouldn't include like areas and idk cutscenses
Because its not an abillity or a skin
Imo
Why not?
Palace of Fools reskins all of Colo
Grimm Defender reskins the entire Dung Defender area along with Dung Defender himself
Both of those could easily make sense inside of other Knight skins (a PK skin and a Grimm skin respectively)
I guess its too strecheble of a topic/defenition
Yeah. The problem is the defined scope was "absolutely everything"
I assume it would be getting the shade cloak cutscene etc.
Why do most prefer Lumifly > Scarab?
More features, less bugs
Modpacks are now my ❤️❤️❤️
But then hollow knight is just hollow :<
Used them exactly once and lost all my skins lol

Oh I can think of MANY options… I mean, one of my favorite HK fanfics literally revolves around pretty much everybody receiving flowers, aptly named “A Flower for Everyone”. It poses so many possibilities for flower recipients that’d be really cool to see ingame, but would probably take quite awhile to mod in

I love how this game has a dedicated modding API. A dedicated modding API (or better yet, a Steam Workshop) is an absolute win for any game in my eyes
(filtering by tags, showing new releases, offline mode, shareable mods/mod lists, and modpacks.)
Is some of the additional features
The heck is offline mode
(nerthul is the one who made Flower rando, so this was maybe not just an idle question & I think he's willing to add more & knows the general amount of work needed)
Ah I see
I’ll have to look into flower rando
Huh. Funnily enough, Flower Rando has all the recipients I’d want. Maybe I’ll try it out
And also if not room rando it'd be an extremely dull quest
Unless you deliver first and have to do reverse flower quest

I have a quick question about custom knight swap, is anything that is dumped by ck swappable? If yes, are the names they’re dumped under the correct names?
Please reply ping if you answer 👍
surely you know about #art-discussion message ,99% sure it can be used to find the real names
also #modding-discussion message
Also also go ask the skin gourous of the art channel of the modding server
Skin making is its own can of worm which I know nothing about
Also no actually
I’m pretty sure some things are just broken, like the shade lord for example
You can’t swap that one
But is he dumpable
Ok I’ll go ask stuff over there instead
Generally speaking, if CK dumps it, then it dumps with the correct info.
There are rare exceptions to this, and uncommonly there are sheets that need tweaking (generally resizing) from what actually dumped

Lumafly is still the recommended one. I'm pretty sure it's still been updated more recently than Scarab, but regardless, scarab's last updates still haven't actually addressed any of the issues that Lumafly fixed, nor added any of the useful features.
does lumafly work on linux?
Yes
I need a way to set the Crystal Guardian fights as defeated for Godhome, because those fights got borked by the enemy randomizer that I had enabled earlier.
I can't make those fights respawn using DebugMod, so I need another method.
You can save edit your access to those boss fights by setting the "isUnlocked" flag from the "statueStateCrystalGuardian" variables in your save file

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.

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.

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

Is there a mod that allows you to have a 112% checklist in game??
thx
No but https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/ is pretty helpful
is there any mod that allows me to play hk with a dualsense controller?
You can just do that there Isn’t a mod needed I think you just need to hook up a controller to your computer
?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
There is a Controller Fixes mod, but generally Steam Input will take care of it
Is there any way to get mods on mobile
?tag pirate
**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.

- Skin Repository by Tadeas Jun
- 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
DelorFn+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

whare are some good qol mods?
Qol
idk what ur asking here
nah debug evil
Have to dissagree
im not finished with the game yet so i dont wanna get that
that would make it too easy
if you're not finished with the game honestly skip mods altogether
But qol....
Additional maps doesnt change anything tbh
it changes the experience
alr so i tried downloading and putting the christmas skin in the skins folder and now my character, health, and soul are all white boxes, how do i fix it?

see the WHITE BOXES section

You find an item
In Black Egg Temple.
Bet(black egg temple)
i tried reloading it with the advanced settings it didnt work at all
is it safe to enter the temple, i broke all the masks
Ping isn't needed thanks. Follow the troubleshooting instructions as I already said
What do you mean safe?
probably mean a point of no return
like, will anything happen, i havnt been in the temple yet
Yes, thinks will happen
I love thinks
You can always reload your save in HK, even after beating the game
It's more impactful than Moonside
I have many times seen people get lost/confused in Atrium for a short while, as team cherry intended 
Yes, but you get to save and can leave at any time
What could be confusing there
People don't see the entrance for one of the sides or think it's where they already came from
I did get lost for a while in Palace the first time
And I obviously never found PoP on my own

My experience was wandering Crossroads for a long while before ever realizing the tall room had GP access, then doing GP, Fungal into City with relative ease, then get a bit rekt by Soul Master
And spend a very long time in Crystal Peak not understanding how to get out after getting CDash because I entered with Dive and didn't have Lantern
Took me much time to realize you could CDash from a wall
A lot of people don't read that part LOL
Then went straight into Sheo, did Cliffs and at some point ended up doing Waterways into Basin, got Wings and then climbed to right side city, finally getting to RG
Optimal speedrunning route indeed
Thought I did as well, but then this game and Elden Ring proved me wrong

Anyone managed to get randomizer and pale court working together?
Both work if you install them at the same time
But pale court items won’t be randomised
Does it work but the charms only appear once I beat dung defender?
Because I just started a base new normal save file and the charms also don't show up
this is my steelsoul run with just pale court installed
That said you have like 50 charms pip
Do you have additional mods on besides rando, pale court and their dependencies ?
I don’t get it
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 ? 
just wondering if pale court is active because on my 112% run I can see im missing 4 charms
I didn't see the 4 empty notches on my brand new file
but guess like you say its the other way around
my new file has 6 EXTRA notches
for some reason
There are 50 pips down there
Which is why you don’t see the 4 additional ones yeah
Did you notice that you have an entire additional row of slots on your screenshot?
now I did yea
And I don’t understand why you have an additional row
Usually you get that by having extra charm mods
But if you don’t then ig it’s nothing more than a visual glitch and surely it won’t cause any issues
SFCore sometimes displays more slots than it should for some reason yeah
okay sweet
thanks guys
appreciate the time
seems its all normal then
hyped to try it out
any recommendations for the randomizer
first time I tried full room randomizations and I got a headache 🤣
I think ill keep the maps synced up for now
Room rando as a first rando experience is very daring indeed
is there a mod skin of ben 10?
I don't know if I'm supposed to be posting a question on this channel, but I need help for modding, (im on mac and the video in pinned massages is better for windows) can anyone help me?
are there any hatsune miku custom knight mod
You haven't said what your problem is, so no one knows. Modding on Mac is not substantially different than windows
I'm gonna be completely honest, i dont even know where to start
Get lumafly from the pins, and watch the video.
If you run into something particular you don't understand you can ask here, but modding is quite simple.
the fireb0rn video is for Scarab isn't it?
and modding has changed over the many years
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.
Yeah but the main things are the same
Lumafly has more features that are obviously not covered on fire's vid
when he says that when you download it, there will be a folder that you drag and drop into another one, I don't get it
Ping isn't needed thanks. Lumafly is forked from scarab and functions mostly the same.
when I download Lumafly, it just has a file that when I open it, it says: Apple could not verify "Lumafly" is free of malware"
You can just make a folder, and place the lu.afly download there
Because no one is paying apple for verification
?tag virus
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.
There should be an option similar to "run anyway" on Mac
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
Finderon 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-Clickthe 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.
- Note: You may need to do this twice, as the "Open" button doesn’t always appear the first time.
Installer doesn't open correctly on MacOS:
Right-Clickthe 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 ./Lumaflyorsudo ./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:
- Follow the instructions in the official teamcherry troubleshooting post.
Would it be helpful to reference that tag in the virus tag do you think?
(I forgot it existed tbh lol)
?
I don't see any reason not to do that, I'll try to remember to edit the tag when I'm at my pc
Thanks Wangha!
What is this in regards to?
What you said about "referencing that tag in the virus" (sorry about being confusing)
That was addressed to Wangha
oh my bad
Is there a mod to make the game easier?
Several, depending in what you want
I’m looking for taking less damage
Debug has invincibility
How do I install mods? Sorry, I’m new to this. I’m really liking the exploration but combat is really challenging.
See the pins, although most people recommend against mods on the first playthrough
still when I try to open it, it says that there may be malware, and there is no option to keep going
just to go back, or delete it
If its the windows built in thing,you click detailed or whatever
Did you follow the instructions there #modding-discussion message ?
It worked! thank you so much!
Any suggestions on what mods to use? (I already enabled bench travel)
I don't usually make mod recs for people i dont know. I'd suggest just looking through the list & reading descriptions. Keep in mind in most cases things that try to alter the same thing are usually incompatible
random thought... is there a mod for doing bindings in the hall of gods room?
Yes, Toggleable bindings
all the sudden I am very interested in modding my Hollow Knight

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.

What are must have mods?

it depends on what u want to use mods for
Want the game to be more fun, not necessarily harder. More content is cool too. I just got Custom knight and im lurving it 
Archiv is pretty great
Is there a mod to add in dialogue trees like BAldurs gate? 
I'm not too knowledgeable in mods, but most of them are experiences you kinda want to get after fully completing the game
Like Pale Court or Hallownest Vocalized, they are the biggest mods out there, the first one adds a ton of new content like a DLC, while the second one adds voices to all dialogues, but they really are just experiences once you really know the game
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 want to take screenshots and I know its in the debug mod but i cant find the option even after installing it?
in the binds menu go to the 5th page (visuals) and run "Toggle HUD"
I just got Pale Court and started playing it. Okay, wtf is ||Mystic Ze'mer||. That's all.
Wait there's a binds menu? When I click options than debug mod this is all it shows
choose the show/hide debug ui option
or press F1
A hard boss
I did that but it only shows the modding screen it doesnt disable the masks or soul vessel or geo count
now do what i said earlier
right here
Ohhhh thats what you meant
Works now thanks for the help and patience lol
no problem. u can click the white circle corresponding to "Toggle HUD" to set a keybind for it if u need to use it often
would I be able to replace existing music in the game for a mod? (thinking of making an entire mod replacing all music with kazoo covers)
I usually don’t see much mod development discussion here, ull probably get more detailed answers if u joined the hk modding server (im not in it myself so idk what’s there but from what I heard its the go-to place for mod development)
oh crap thank you
You can use CustomBGM to do this, yeah
yo, does anyone now how can I download Pale Court on Ubuntu?
?tag pins
Same as on windows, lumafly also works on Linux
I cant have mods on console right
Indeed
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
you can turn on invicibility with debug
That'll do it! Thank you!

How can we resume our save ? Simply loading the save doesn't seem to let us connect to an ItemSync server

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.

.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

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

Common issues
- If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with
DelorFn+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.

ok so ive looked around and im trying to find this radiance skin from this video
I decided to try something new with the Hollow Knight Randomizer. Getting my viewers to place some crucial items wherever they want. This is possible through the use of a plandomizer, where items can be moved around as you please. 10 lucky viewers were able to place a variety of items I have to collect. How evil did they get with it? You'll have...
i checked the doc linked in the video
and its not there afaict
scroll up a little.
'public skins not yet on the doc'

hey, doesn't modding games on steam get you banned on that game or smth like that? How does it work?
No not at all
Mods usually don’t cause any sort of punishment unless multiplayer is involved
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
yeah but hollow knight is not on those games
ok, great to know
Yeah cause im pretty sure it costs money
Anyways we use lumafly round here
