Hello, new to modding. Any mods I can use to have hotkeys to spawn in stuff?
spawning enemies is surprisingly difficult in hk, so no mods do it
debug mod can duplicate enemies which is probably the best you'll get
i got a cute hornet skin like pink from nexus
Can it spawn non-enemies like the Glowing Womb minions?
Idt the dev would list ALL the enemies it can spawn in the readme
Its just need to draw them right not need to code or animate for both games?
Yup
but
theres like
a lot of hornet sprites
and when i say a lot, its
a l o t of hornet sprites
a l o t of hornet srites?
these are just some of them
Where can i get ghost sprites
Scary
On the hk1 sprite base, i dont have it
Thanks for help
Anyone know a silksong mod where it can revert the difficulty changes back to release?
where'd you get these skins?
I just searched HK skins in google chrome and a web appeared with..a lot of them tbh
where do i even put the files?
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
DelorFn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu. - If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
- If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click
Reloadin the previous menu.- Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: 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 White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
- Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.

can someone help me install the healt bar on hk
what is the name of the mod for muilty player on lumafly
is there a qol mod? (for silksong)
Out of curiosity. Would it be possible for anyone to create a mod to play as Sherma?
Or get Sherma's Sprites for a modding resource?
is there a mod that lets you unlock all godhall bosses without having to fight them before?
Pretty much no silksong mods
Guys I Recently Bought HK and Downloaded Lumafly , When I try to use ANY Custom skins The Skins don't change Even though everything is Fine
sad, but thank u
Give it some time and they'll probably drop some
Or im just wrong
i dont think so
Of course
Itemsync
.
All it does is sync a rando between two players
Hkmp is there so you can see the other person
What mod can I get for hk coop @lunar root?
Hkmp

Yes

Yes, also theres no need to ping me every reply im checking lmao

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.

That does not aid me in the slightest...
Wait
oops
Wait so I have to host a server, get my friend to join it and then run it?
Im trying to install a skin for the customknight one but when i put it it doesnt work
Yes
Unzip it
Do i like have to use one of these vpns..?
how?
its fully explained on the links above
Right click > extract
Try reading the guide you dismissed as useless
thanks ill try it
Im looking but I either have to get one of three vpn type things or mess with my router
So
So im not sure i can or want to do any of these lowk.. 😭
Wait ill just get itemsync
You don't really need a private server for hkmp, you can just use one of the public ones
The itemsync connecting is taking quite the while though
@lunar rootHow long is this itemsync wait supposed to take..
No tag itemsync found.

Itemsync is covered on sho
This one
Im just tryna connect to the usual ip
Yeah thats the one i always forget 💔
Yeah but it gave me an ip and not a url
I dint know what you mean by the "usual " ip but the correct itemsync address is listed in the mod description
Hey so for some reason I can’t Post in the help Channel so I am asking here. When I am using mods for some reason I can’t Access the Inventory at all. I am using PS5 controller, and the following Mods:
Pale Court, Ancient Aspid and Hollow Knight Vocalized. (And all the Mods that are necessary for it to run)
It seems like you deleted your own message in #1057825333841240104, not sure why you did that
That being said, Pale Court isn't considered compatible with the other 2
Thank you. The reason I deleted the question was because I forgot to add a Picture and i tried to send it again but then it didn’t work.
I got the mods to work😊 sorry if i was an inconvenience😔
yo guys, does anyone have artoria pendragon fate skin?
Anyone make a mod that’s basically hallownest in its glory days
is there an easy way to remove one asset of a character skin like the hp bars? one skin i have doesnt dislay lifeblood masks right and i want to just remove the hp bar skin change
You can rove or swap the Hud sheet, but it would impact the whole thing not just the lifeblood masks
You can look around on Nexus at your own risk, nothing community supported yet
how do i get boss health bars?
anyone?
in hollow knight not silksong
do i trust this?
no, official mods are found in lumafly
?tag lumafly
RIGHT dyno is dead
Official website of Lumafly, the mod installer and manager for Hollow Knight. Hosts important links and shareable Lumafly command links.
damn the link is old
anyway this still sends to the latest lumafly
i just want boss hotbars
yes you can find those on lumafly
whats it called
enemyhpbar
It can be set up just for bosses
How would i go about doing this?
Is there an individual image file only for the hud that i just remove?
Ping isn't needed thanks. Just look in the skin folder, and delete it or swap it. You can open the sheet to see what's on it other than lifeblood (all of the other hud elements are also included).
what does that hornet emoji mean? just curious.
it means pointless pings (like the one you just did) are annoying
no worries, it's not really a big deal. It's just that 99% of things I get pinged on here are not things that are urgent or require my specific attention, and I prefer pings to be for important things.
ok😊
Am I allowed to hop in a vc and stream a modded version of silksong? (Seems I am from the rules) https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1413268584695599155
Hello
So I am completely new to modding, but I want to to only one thing:
Replacing specific words
So the whole game when there are specific words as a text, I want them to be replaced by other words
How do I do that?
I tried writing a code with chatgpt, lumafly and visual studio but it doesn´t work
wont letm e use grimknight skin
How do I use a skin I got? I'm using CustomKnight on Lumafly and I tried just putting a skin folder in there and I don't see it ingame (I MIGHT be stupid)
Hollow point mod is peak
nvm I MIGHT have figured it out
Yes
understandable
anyone know how to get a mod if u downloaded silksong with the xbox app (on pc)
What are some mods that yall would recommend i try?
is there like a mod for inf geo or to add geo?
debug
i tried using that but couldnt get it to work
I don't make recommendations for strangers, I'd just suggest looking thru the modlist on lumafly
Ping isn't needed thanks. Make a #1057825333841240104 post if you need help troubleshooting
thanks but wdym ping isnt needed?
There should be a mod that gives a conclusion to Myla’s story -the ability to save her before she’s too far gone, or talk to her ghost if you kill her. It’d be heartbreaking
I mean stop reply pinging me on every post
Myla flower exists
sorry discord has that on with auto
even when i turn it off it will turn it back on
I'm aware. honestly in most cases you don't need to reply at all, if you're too lazy or forgetful to toggle it
im wondering, is anyone insane enough to try port hornet fully into hk and the knight fully into silksong (with some changes that let them do the things they cant do in the game that they get put in)
yeah i'm looking for the grimm hornet boss mod from the original hollow knight but for playable hornet in silksong anybody has it? (and by that i mean playable grim hornet mod in silksong like the grimm hornet boss from hollow knight)
Please spoiler tag anything silksong
||like this||
Ahhh i get it
Thx
Mod spoiler warning:
||I don't know if theres a mod request area so ill just put it here. I'd love a mod that makes hornet always growl like after binding in beast crest but permantly for all crests||
Has custom hornet been made yet
Im just hoping for a scarab for silksong modding
Super handy tool for the first game modding
Not necessarily a mod but is there a save file analyzer yet for SS like HK that’ll show me how complete I am in different areas
Give some mods that make the game really fun and let me do practically anything I want
Nvm
I just loaded like every charm mod 🤑
anyone know here i instail littlegrimm skin?
This existing one might just work
I'm not sure if it hard-coded stuff or not, but the save files are basically the same (meaning that a lot of things related to them are the same)
I tried it. Doesn’t work. Numbers were all wrong and it was giving me locations from HK not SS
Unless something changed in the last 72 hours
Yea its hard coded
anyone can explain me, how to put new 112% and a finished steel soul save on my hk?
wait it dosent end in 100% ? :D
HK probably had 100%, but when new content was added, they choose to Make other new stuff also worth completion percent, thus increasing the new possible total
I want a mod that generally changes the style of the way you play the game but doesn’t make you op and you still have to play the game normally
They should add a mod help ping
Kinda like how in silk song there’s something that completely changes hornets skill set
i need kind of help modding silksong, like im adding mods from nexus, i got the bepinex but like, when i press f1 nothing shows up
ive never installed mod like this so i dont really know what im doing
lol
Neither do most of us
As it stands, silksong modding is mostly unsupported
Try to check whatever ressource the mod has, and if it doesn’t have any…
Qwq
this third link is just for one specific language alr?
Ah yes
Necropinging
The third link is a link to a bilibili video which hosts the skin, it’s the original post, the other two are
- the skin
- the hpbar skin
(As their name would suggest)
Try to not ping multiple year old messages though
?tag noping if you didn’t know
sigh dyno
Is dyno dead because main is overcrowded ? Or is dyno dead because its a bad bot ?
I feel like it’s been in a quantum state of dead and undead in the past month
Currently the dyno site to check status is down lmao
Its alive until observed (used)
in debug mod how do you unbound a certain bind
?tag binds
Beep boop, I am a robot
Debug Binds
"Every time I [do X] something weird happens!"
- 99% of the time, this is because you accidentally set a keybind in debug (or are pressing a button that is one of the default Binds). Note that depending what changes you were accidentally making, simply uninstalling Debug won't fix it.
How to fix
- Pause the game, then press
F1on your keyboard to open the Debug interface.- If it doesn't work at first, try pressing
Fn+F1. If that still doesn't work, then go to Options > Mods > DebugMod and then you can set a new button to open it
- If it doesn't work at first, try pressing
- The Binds panel will list a few options on each page. If you don't see the problem on the current page, then press the ▶️ at the bottom of the panel to see the next page.
- When you find the Bind that you want to remove, press the White Circle ⚪ to the right of it, then press
Escon your keyboard to remove the bind.- Note: on some resolutions, the binding buttons don't line up correctly with the text, so be sure to check that you're setting the correct one.
- If you accidentally adjusted your Nail Damage, then you can reset it on the first page of the Binds panel. Find the Reset Nail bind, and simply press the ▶️ to have the action happen once.
- if you set some other permanent effect, then you'll need to find the appropriate page for it in the Binds panel, and find the action that's the opposite of what you did. Some actions (like having extra Keys) cannot be undone.
It’s the process of using mods, short for game modifications. There’s a wide variety of mods such as custom skins, custom bosses, item and room randomizer, quality of life stuff, gameplay mods, etc, it’s simpossible to name them all but the main installer makes finding and using the ones you want an easy process, check the pins if you’re interested (but you shouldn’t try them on your 1st playthrough)
Dyno's own website seems down too
oh thanks
where do i put a custom hp mod?

Bro couldn't wait 4 minutes

u got 1 with lumfly?
Lumafly and scarab are very similar, you only dont have to unzip it and the ui is a bit different
If you mean where to put the skin, in the same place regardless of the used installer
is there a silksong lumafly, getting nexus mods is confusing as hell 😭
hello guys ! i try to instal a mod but it say this-
with lumafly, it litteraly say that they didn't find my hollow knight files
okay !
Not yet

you are welcome
Then you should also make a #1057825333841240104 post. Also ping isn't needed, thanks
?tag ck
Sorry the bot is dead
Yeah thats pretty much what i was about to do lmao
the link is not working
of scarab
u can gimme the link?
sure
It's pinned

tysm

i already installed the mod but i dont know how put in luma
and i dont find in mods
Did you fully watch this video
It goes over what to do with the skin files
yeah
im not good in english
and under video it says Please Google "Scarab download" to find Scarab. Sorry, I had to remove some of the links. Everything you'll need is in the modding Discord.
subtitles
wht
i cant join in the modding discord
invalid link
this button
Skins aren't mods & don't go in lumafly. They're image files that are used with the custom knight mod
i dont have this
uh
well if you will be able to find it you will be able to translate
hey
to put the mods files in the mod file luma i need put it zip or not?
i do all the steps
but dont have any mod
in the option mod
@rustic ingot
by mods files you mean skins? or other mods?
skin and bar
hp bar
all of this 2 mods is of ||grim||
i do have it unzipped
what about hp bar, idk since i don't have skins for that
nonono, you did not install the mod custom knight for knight skins, and mod for HP bar
dangggggg
and custom hp?
I just have Enemy HP bar mod
and there you have folder "custom hp bar"
Does anyone know how to make a duplicate save on hallowknight for Xbox game pass on pc
have no idea
So i can have 2 of the same save file
yippie
sure, no problem
If any one knows how to find the save files on the Xbox gamepass version of hallowknight
It's a private skin, was never publ8cly available AFAIK
Alright
The bot is dead
What does it mean tag saves
That's the 2nd link I included
Which one
The first link I posted is the savefaq tag, the 2nd is the save tag
Oh, I might have linked the wrong one. Wish the bot would wake the fuck up
What do i type for save tag to see that
You cant, because the bot is dead
Cause I'm on the gamepass version so I can't find it lol
You have to use search to find it from previous use (which i tried to but copied the wrong one)
does anyone know where scarab used to store the mod files at?
friend is having an issue where lumafly wont open and i suspect its bc he still has left over scarab mods enabled but that one wont open either
Having mods from scarab wouldn't cause that with lumafly. Your friend should probably just make a #1057825333841240104 post with all the info requested in the faq
i had the same issue where it wouldnt launch either and im pretty sure it was from scarab. deleted the mod files from it and it would open right after doing so. couldve been something else that was blocking it though i guess
just cant remember where theyre saved at
Lumafly is designed to recognize mods scarab installed
They use the same mod library, so they're not like, different mods
it was also like a 3 or so year old version of scarab if that helps
all i know is deleting the mods scarab had installed fixed it for me
You can yry deleting them if you want, they're in the mods folder. But as I said above your friend should probably just make a support posf
With the more saves mod can u just duplicate save on that ? Cause this isn't working lol
there are a mod on lumafly that, make me start with 1 hp?
why would you need so much
picking my favourite ones
ik this should prob go in modding help but I got lumafly and in the mods folder, there is no folder for "custom knight" so what do I do bout that?
where can i download the skins it sent me here idk where :?
usually when you click a link it should put you on the message who posted the link
if it doesn't, you can try to post the link in chat, then click it through discord
that's discord being quite dumb
i will try it rq
you download the mod, launch the game, close the game, then it'll show
I downloaded the .zip file I want
so launch it rn?
bro what
no, you open lumafly, you type in 'custom knight'
and install that
?tag ck
alr just did that
then launch the game, it'll create folders
Custom Knight
This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section, create a post in #1057825333841240104
You must include a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin
- With the directory bar visible
- With the skin images visible
- Example:
do i need to extract the file or nah :?
yes you always need to extract
yes
just making sure lol sometimes u dont need to 😭
you should read that message up there
i will infact
i mean, after i downloaad a skin, i just double click the zip and drag it directly into 'skins' from there
spares me an extraction every time i download a new skin (like 30 by now)
ofc, guys, watch out, sometimes the actual skin is a folder within the folder
do I need to extract the skins? They are in the skins folder
other times, there's no folder and just a bunch of .png, then i make a folder and dump the images in there
Yes, always extract things
a zip file, or rar file or whatever
is a box, which contains a bunch of files in them
if you don't open the box, you very usually cannot read the files
so I have no idea how you are having skins that work without extracting them
the only cases in which you shouldn't extract, is if something else does it for you (for example the manual install function of lumafly, wants zip to extract)
if you are entering the zip folder and moving whats inside of it outside of it, you are extracting the files.
should I keep the zip folder there or delete it?
uhhh, i think we're missing each-other's point. i just don't right click the winrar and press 'extract here' every time
..yeah, i meant the action itself
when you get the stuff from it, you can delete it
What Az is saying is still true though, you always need to extract. You just are doing the action itself in a different way.
yes
i just want to say that the boundless infinity is a beautiful modded boss
especially the music
when I get skin packs they just show up with text and don't do anything. what does that mean?
probably that y ou installed them wrong
idk how i could've
I downloaded them, put the zip in skins folder, extracted it, and started the game
You can see the custom knight tutorial in pins, it shows how the install should look. If you still have troublee make a #help post.
You do need to extract the zip first
No, it's fine I just started typing before I read the whole post LOL
I thought you were just moving the zip
how i can found void skin?
Look on the skin list. It's in pins
i dont found
Look harder? Like, it's alphabetical & also you can search Google Docs
i don't know the name
I assumed you were talking about Void Knight. If you're not you'll need to be more specific
How would I fix a corrupted save?
Save Files
What do save files looks like?
- Each Hollow Knight save file is a
user#.datwhere#is the save slot for the file - You can rename
user3.dattouser1.datto set it to your first save slot - You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer
Reverting Backups
- Automatic backups are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups - You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup version
Modded Saves
- A modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). This file and theuser#.datare part of the save
Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\- You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
- For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type
?tag savesinto chat
I need a specific type of save file
- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
- If the file you download is a
.raror other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip
- If the file you download is a
Editing save files
- MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
- QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor - DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod

Ping isn't necessary thanks. Epsecialy since the tag I posted answers that question
I forgot to turn off Pale Court before starting my randomizer run, will there be any issues or does it exclude content from other mods in the randomizer?
Pale Court items won't be randomized (unless using pale court charms instead of pale court) it should mainly be Ok although some fights you may not be able to enter if you've turned on additional maps for rando
this is more of a steam help but is there a way to get the same game data but on a diff device
if you mean your saves, steam cloud does that automatically
so bassiclly i could have my pc with the save file i want then make that save file on lets say a diff pc
so if i download it on a diff pc my data will be there?
cuz i wanna stay on the same save file
Ping isn't needed thanks. But yeah, but it should be able to pull your saves from the cloud to any PC you're logged in on as long as you've got internet.
Keep in mind steam cloud does NOT sync modded save data tho. If you're doing a modded saave you'd have to manually transfer the data
so if i gave myself geo with mods if losr the money gained from mods
so if i gave myself 20000 geo with mods
that will keep
but not the actual physical mods
im cool with that
wait wdym by pulling from the cloud
?tag noping
guys where do u find pale court
sry i turned it off but stupid discord
I'm not sure which part you don't understand? Steam cloud is online
auto turns it back on

On Lumafly, the installer
its cuz that has never happend with me to any other game
I SWEAR I TURNED IT OFF
it does not stay off
Ty very much
you can either turn it off each time, or not use reply since it's not super necesseary
i have pale court installed but where do u start it
?tag palecourt
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.

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).
thx
maybe you have cloud save off? 
if so how do i turn it on
so whats the point of asking 😔
I mean, only you know why you decided to ask steam questions in a Hollow Knight discord
idk
I did that and the backup seems to be corrupted too. Oh well
crazy
hi im just curious if people have like a list of recommendations about mods that don't change the gameplay much but mostly on QoL stuff?
i may be a lil new to skin modding but why cant i apply it :p
when it comes to little grimm it's almost always because your folder structure is wrong.

- 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 doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
- If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click
Reloadin the previous menu.- Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: 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 White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
- Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.
Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section, create a post in #1057825333841240104
You must include a screenshot that shows:
- Where you installed the skin

- Example:
Is it possible to create some kind of mod that brings back the original cut content?
I found the snail village, mushrooms citizens and that bone land so awesome
And technically, most of these archives are still in the game so I'm just curious if that would be even possible
its possible and iirc theres mods that add some of it and people worked on adding the larger stuff but idk if it was finished
Why have I never heard about it?

Oh hey
So...is there a way to give yourself more Charm Notches or something like that? I'd definitely never cheat, but I'm just wondering.
idk. its pretty old
The max is 12, with the debug you could turn on invincible snd fly to get them, but you can’t go over as far as I know
That makes sense
Well, cheating is cheating, so...
I do it on a 2nd save file
so I don’t corrupt my 105 save
Only mods I use on my 1st is Xmas in dirtmouth, and custom knight
is there a mod to get infinite geo because i dont want to grind out 15000 geo form the collo
you can use debug mod to give yourself geo
just be careful not to press anything else
you could also edit your save
?tag savefaq
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.

ok thank you
Ah ok that makes sense. Tbh having 2 save files would drive me crazy...unless I had a second on Switch. I wish there was a way to simply sync data between PC and Switch. 😭
I wish there was
there is a way with Xbox and pc gho
If ur gonna mod but don’t wanna cheat, I reccomend using some mods that don’t affect the game like skin mods, decorations mods, etc
Right. I actually own Hollow Knight Voidheart on XBOX PC, and I'll purchase Silksong through XBOX PC once I stop using GP in 2 1/2 months.
I also highly reccomend the mod called enemy hp bars, it’s self explanatory
What’s gp again
XBOX Game Pass
Ah ok
I bought hollow knight on 2 devices cus it’s too peak
1 on Xbox one on Nintendo
how would one replace the audio file of the knight taking damage/ double damage?
Can anyone point me in the right direction, im trying to get a controler to work on mac m4, are there any discusions how to do this?
Can I install mods in silksong?
Oh ok. How does it run on Switch?
guys how i download the radiance and pale knight skin?

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.

how to mod on pc
hey folks, anybody down to do a vesselhunt similar to how fireb0rn does it in his vids? everybody I personally know that plays hk does so on xbox so none of them can get the multiplayer mod :((
well since i could NOT find the grimm hornet mod for silksong i need to ask how to create it since i have a few sprites from the mod for hollow knight where she's a boss
If you want to make custom skins I would recommend you join the modding server and look at the ressources in the art channel
They mostly cover hk ressources but skin making in silksong is about the same (if inconvenient due to lack of tool rn)
That said hum…
I think you don’t realise what making a skin entails
Because a skin for hornet is like 800 animations, of which you need to change all the sprites
So you are not getting very far by copy pasting a hollow knight sprite sheet, simply due to the very large number of new sprites which don’t have an equivalent
I am new, but i am have a problem with modding as i was advised to use scarab but when i launch it it gives me an error page "Unity 2020.2.2f1_068178b99f32" what have i done wrong??
Lumafly is the recommended installer, switch to that & if you still have trouble make a #1057825333841240104 post after reading the pinned FAQ
does silksong have any mod managers like lumafly??
what installer should you use for ss mods?
any ss benchwarp mods yet?
Silksong does not have an installer yet, you can install mods from nexus or thunderstore
alr thanks
Also to clarify if you see a lumafly v2 going around please note that installer is unofficial, unsuported and fully unrelated to the original
(And it doesn't have any silksong mods)
-# You tried it?
No, but I can't imagine you can pull mods from nexus like we pull from modlinks
I guess
(Screenshot shows no available mods for silksong)
Someone pls make multiplayer mode for Silksong that connects Silksong and Hollow Knight map and allows you and your friend to play as Knight and Hornet, also with their abilities only. So character wont be retextures of each others
So its a manual installs manager
How exactly would this work
https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1421076233004781668
Could someone that is knowledgeable about this check if this is something thats fixable, thanks 😄
Like archipelago will for sure be a thing but goodluck finding a mod that links the entire map of both games and lets two people play as two different characters with completely different mechanics
i dont know just wanna play this, i made this text bc i suddenly rembered Pizza Tower lol

Why use a cracked one instead of trying to get help on the allegedly legal one?
cause it was not working on steam too

Can you share an image of hk in your steam library because i have an idea on why it might not work, if you have it legal that is
it crashes on startup

what I find most incredible is just how popular that little grimm skin is
like...
its...
not that good ? its a grimm head stiched onto a knight body, recent skins tend to be more interesting i feel like ?
Yeah all that to say that i'm surprised at the amount of edgy teens flooding on grimm skins
I really like the Grimm skin. It doesn't surprise me at all that its popular considering how popular Grimm himself is. It also doesn't surprise me at all how often people say it doesn't work since its one of the skins thats two folders deep.
What does surprise me is how many people see the image of the folder structure in the bot post and still insist they installed it correctly.

Modding and Achievements
- Mods do not normally prevent you from getting Achievements. However, since a recent Steam update, some players report not obtaining them.
- If you are missing achievements, opening the game in vanilla and setting at a bench may sync them again. You can also get them using the HollowKnightAchievementManager mod.
- 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, such as skipping something with QoL, then you won't get that achievement. Some mods that rely on SFCore such as Hallownest Vocalized can sometimes prevent achievements from working.
- In some cases, achievements are still earned, but the pop-ups do not come up when modding.

There is no official launcher for silksong mods yet no
Theres no official silksong mods at all actually

just keep going right as you fight him
does anyone know if there is a way to move the customknight ui? I know I can disable it, but I was wondering if I could change the location of it from a column on the right side of my screen to a row on the bottom of it.
Already tried that but after 15 minutes of me hitting him I guess it's just the mod Infinity
oh wow, then it's definitely something wrong lol

I was clearing fuckin boundless infinity but I was thinking that some phases were lasting too much so I downloaded health bar mod and I discovered that sometimes he just doesn't take any damage I've tried anything but his health bar even stopped at the last phases.I unistalled and re installed the mod,restarted luma fly but still nothing.Can someone please help me ?Is there someone who can help me ?
After hitting him a lot for something like 20 minutes I triggered half of phase 1 looks like his hp got multiplied
@stable quartz if you have debug mod, can you check your nail damage?
it's in the left window with various other stats, it shoul be 21 with pure nail and 32 with unbreakable strength
i need help, my mouse unlocks when i have mods on. how do i lock my mouse so it doesnt go into my second screen? its been messing me up alot since i move the mouse normally alot
ok thank you
yo guys can i ask !
i need a health bar mod for hollow knight and i didnt find can u help?
To that one guy asking for a health bar mod I use debug mode and I'm on keyboard and there's a key bind for the health bar
oh ty
You can check on YouTube for what the keybind is
Thank you so much I don't know how it happened but my damage was 1
my nail damage changed to 1 after i had installed the "vessel may cry" mod and stayed like that after i uninstalled it
btw, some skins have this empty "swap" folder, any idea what it's for?
is it okey to make mod requests here?
the health bar mod is called enemy hp bar. You should use that, not debug mod.
You're a life saver I cleared the mod thank you
gotchu fam
@stable quartz oh, if the next time you open the game it's back to 1 again, here's the thread where someone helped me fix it: https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1420504951523774514
is there a bench warp mod for ss?
is there a mod for hk that gives u all the charms? if so what is it called?
Debug has a give all charms button
oh ty, is it called debug aswell in the lumafly mod search section?
DebugMod to be exact
oh found it, ty
what yall use to mod silksong?
also i do have 1 more question, can u also use lumafly to download skin mods, or only scarab? if i can only use scarab, do i have to delete lumafly or can i use both lumafly AND scarab at the same time
Both work, they have the same mods, and Lumafly is recommended because it has less bugs and more features. You don't have to delete the installer you don't use, but there's no reason to keep it either
great ty, and also, how do i install skin mods from lumafly?
The mod is Custom Knight, and then you have to download and install skins in its skins folder. There's a video tutorial (which was made with scarab but applies to Lumafly too):

Appreciate it :]
[Silksong]
Just had a few ideas to enable a FPS-pvp-like experience.
Throwing them out here in case anyone wants to run with them:
- Tools auto-equip on pickup. Red tools prioritize the first open slot proceeding from F, Up+F, then Down+F for MKB (or the corresponding controller buttons).
- Tools are auto-unequipped upon respawn.
- Tools drop from certain enemies or have dedicated spawn points. If using spawn points, have them respawn upon PK of whoever had them. E.g. if a player has Long Claw, it respawns when that player dies.
- Replace "Take" hover text with tool names. (Or leave as-is for a wackier experience of blind pick-ups.)
- Can also do the same for Crests as pick-ups, auto-changing Crests, carrying over tools that use the same slots, and either dropping or respawning any tools that can't be carried over due to capacity.
- Can also incorporate Memory Lockets as some kind of drop/spawn.
- Remove all bench healing, of course.
- Add barriers blocking off certain zones so that you have "maps/arenas" and you don't have someone wandering off across all of Pharloom.
anyone who can explain why lifeblood isnt working for me in the pantheons with these mods?
i pick it up but i dont get any extra hp
i havent changed any settings and cant find anything besides giving myself extra lifebloods
does benchwarp for ss exist?
oh i think i know what it might be, it's the toggleable bindings that i have on
is it safe to use mods on my save or should i create a dupe incase
Ok thank you
Probably something in godseeker plus but for troubleshooting you should make a #1057825333841240104 posf

NoWalkOfShame
thanks iil test that out
I assume it not telling me to check the ModLog.txt means its working?
hi everyone question, has anyone been able to extract silksong's files yet?
i wanted to be in possession of sherma's song
without like any overlayed noises
is there any mod that randomizes enemies with any enemy from the whole enemy pool
and also a mod that randomizes bosses with any boss from the whole boss pool
Enemy rando
yeah i think i have that i just need one that has bosses in seperate pools from enemies
You can do that in the settings i believe
I just havent used it enough to be able to specify where
Bosses & enemies aren't seperate pools but you can manually set only bosses to randimize
ive found this but the names are so weird its hard to know what is a boss and isnt
is there a way to make enemies shared in hkmp like we both kill one boss?
?tag enemysync
HKMP Enemy Sync
- GhostHunter and ESoulLink allow you to see each others' damaged enemies and share their health respectively, however you can't truly sync them with these mods.
- The HKMP dev has a beta of the next update on his Patreon, that implements an entity sync system that he's been working on for over a year.
Yo idk if anyone else has seen the Pablo memes, but if there is a really talented artist do you think you could make a custom skin for the knight to be Pablo?
Here Pablo for reference
any way to make bosses replace other bosses with this mod or do i have to go look for another one?
If you can pay several hundred dollars then probably. Skin artists have enough ideas to not take other people's ideas for free
I have money but not hundreds 😭😭😭🙏
id do it for free if i learnt how to do it 
Trust me if you knew how to and saw the spritesheet youd still say no
it cant be THAT bad, can it?
Just disable every enemy that isn't in this list. You can't have both bosses replaced by bosses and enemies replaced by enemies together though

You can put it like this: it's less bad than in Silksong
oh...

It's just a bit of work
A tad bit
just a bit
A dozen minutes worth max
A small thing, like a randomizer
Holy I was not aware of this
Worse part that aint even the entire spritesheet
is it not possible on this mod or at all
Its missing sprint, voidspells, and quirrel (which has the knight in it for some reason)
Uh, maybe
Afaik at all, unless there's a hidden secret enemy rando somewhere which I highly doubt
lol squirrel has his own
Okie dokie
couldnt find any other
Yeah, the other ones are addons (except enemy randomizer, which is, well, for enemies)
thanks dyno

im just a tad lost on this, i'm playing hollow knight on linux, and the mods and everything work great, even controller works
but, theres no rumble
and i really like games with rumble
its weird since rumble works on silksong
and i did do a bit of scavenging and found this, but that doesn't fix the rumble issue
also strangely, achievements stopped working when i moved over to linux (but im unsure if that's from the mods)
||So uh when im in godhome with the glyphs mod ( glyphs are sold by mask maker and give certain small buffs ) how do i get glyphs or do i just not||
I think that in hk, rumble might be broken outside of windows. Notably the game didn't have rumble at all until 1.5
i was reading that, but im running a certain distro that came with some other proton versions, and one of them does work
but
controller wont work after installing mods
rumble/controller is supported without the mods
which i mean i guess is okay? im at ||godhome|| right now with 110% completion, it's just been bugging me since for a majority of the game (after switching to linux at around 20 percent) rumble just stops working
hey what mod adds multi player ive seen it before
I want nothing more than chibi radience knight but I use consol 🙁

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.

will the godhome mod for silksong corrupt my save file
cus itsays it might do it but idk
Guys little grimm isnt working
mods can cause pseudo permanent changes to a save file, though most don't
if you are scared of that (which is fair) you can back up your save file
also... which godhome mod are you talking about ? godseeker + ?
is there a mod where if i die on a boss it just respawns me at the room instead of like a bench?
nowalkofshame
thanks
@minor hawk
huh, something weird happened
can someone give me a mod to give more geo?
Not funny,you cant react to messages if the sender blocked you💔
(If i could it would still be funny
Replying is lame)
how much do you think i should pay to get someone to make a boss randomiser mod
As in?
bosses are randomly replaced by other bosses out of the whole game pool
pretty sure you can do that with enemy randomiser...
with enemy rando you have 2 pools
the pool of enemies which can be replaced, and the pool of enemies which can replace them
what if i want enemies - enemies and bosses - bosses
make both of those pool be only bosses and you have boss rando
Cry
im not sure if you can make separate groups to not mix with each other
how hard is it to make enemies pool go with enemies and bosses pool go with bosses
but randoing bosses with bosses and having the rest be vanilla is possible
not true randomiser then 😔
Id say not too much
You just have to steal(and have the enemy rando creator allow that) everything from enemy rando and modify it a bit
7 years but no one has bothered to make that
Maybe also ahe ig
That usually means it's not as simple as you think. 
For enemy rando in particular almost every enemy has to be custom coded to work outside its normal area
anyone know a mod where I don't fucking take damage through a gap the knight can easily go through
(the hollow knights legs be an example)
Can anyone please find that geo mod for me?
is there amod on luma fly that makes the delicate flower unbreakable
whats that?
its a modding tool
not lumafly the mod
but i can install mauallyt if theres one on nexus i can download
yeah i want a name of a mod that makes the delicate flowwr unbreakable
what is the delicate flower.
its a quest to get a mask piece
ok
I actually am not sure if that mod was done, which is curious to say the least
Just get debug mod for invincibility
is there a way to keep this color i got randomly from paletteswapper/hue shifter
You can make adjustments in the mod's options, I know hue shifter lets your pick a specific color but I dint remove for palette swapper
how do i get skin packs or whatever its called?
what skin is that?
also on hkmp do you need to download a external software or are there servers and that i don't need to download anything external
the vessel its in the hollow knight skin pack
ty
idk ion got ppl to play hkmp with
is there a way to mix and match parts of skins? I like the sealed vessel skin and hud, but i don't like his spells and nail arts. I'd rather have infected knights spells. I assume you'd have to create your own folder for that.
if you wanna do it yourself in sprites then yeah
thought so
is that a website? (i got mods yesterday so me stupid)
go to the skin google doc
and crtl+f and search hollow

I found a way to make it work without making it myself
you can mix and match them
I made a new folder in the skins section
then copied sealed vessel
pasted it into the folder
took out the spell ones
pasted voidspells from scion (infected knight)
then once i reloaded and press fixed in the custom knight settings
i picked the skin in the menu and it worked
oh i didnt fully read what you said so i thought you ment changing the sprites within one sprite sheet manually
ahh yeah np
will framework from original randomizer mod be usable for a silksong randomizer?
You can keep up with the rando development in the modding server. Some things will becreusable & some won't
FWIW my list covers this in the Intro
do you need to download external software for hkmp to work or no?
Does anyone know what the mod is like to beat the Path of Sorrow, my initial playthrough, which I already played?
Guys, my game is crashing and I cant open it, i tried downloading some mods following a yt guide, does anyone know how to fix this crash?
Guys i got lumafly and I have both the Xbox version of hollow knight and the steam version and the mods work on the Xbox version or whatever of the game is that normal?
And yes the mods work i have debug, uneaten grub and benchwarp and they all work perfectly fine I just need to know if that's normal
hi can anyone help my game crashes when i install a mod manager my game is upto date and its from gog
I mean, you need hkmp if you count that as external software
Assuming you mean Path of Pain, QoL mod
?tag crash
Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing mods ⚠️
This error can happen for several reasons. Read through all of the common ones below to see which might apply to you.
- "Hollow Knight isn't responding"
- This isn't actually a crash, you just need to wait and let the game load. This is common with mods that have a lot of Pre-loading (like Pale Court, Enemy Randomizer, WeaverCore, and mods that load a lot of skins/audio).
- Your game patch doesn't match your installer
- Modding is now done on patch 1.5.78+, required by all current installers. If you're on Steam, make sure your Beta is set to "None"
- "Mod Installer" (Zote) and Mod Installer 2 work with version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. Tutorials saying to use these are outdated.
- There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. For speedrunning mod help, type
?tag 1221into chat for more info.
- Something didn't install correctly
- Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
- Ensure that the installer isn’t in a
.zip file(if you got it as a.zip, you'll need to Extract it) - Make sure that the Installer is out of your Downloads folder
- You're on Linux/Steamdeck
- Add
-force-openglto the steam launch options.
- Add
- Your game is cracked/pirated
- Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods aren't considered compatible with pirated copies, which will not get support in the main servers.
- Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam/GoG/Xbox Games.
- If you do not have a supported version, please get one and you will get support with modding. Requesting help 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/
Yes, why would it not be normal?
See the tag just a couple posts above
Partially
RandomizerCore, which defines the rando algorithm and logic building will be usable. ItemChanger, which defines all the item types and placements, requires a big workload

Hi there is a way to rando map working on a existing file or it must be new save?
You can try to add it to an existing save, but it may not work properly (it's considered a Connection since a recent update)
Could someone please help me, I'm Brazilian and I need help putting skins on Hollow Knight, could someone help me with that?
Well how could i do that if you may explain?
Ping isn't needed thanks. And just like most other mods, enable it from the Installer
You can give yourself geo with debug mod

Just RandoMapMod, you're overcomplicating things
Well i have enable everything needed for it, through lumafly and on a new file map works but on existing doesnt, that why I asking is there a way to bypass it...
There is not
It was made into a Connection Mod (so part of Rando iteself, more or less), instead of being just an "outside" mod to Rando, so that it could be used in Tournaments without needing to get rid of settings that may be considered cheating.
The downside to this, is that it can no longer be added after starting a save
I literally said that in my first response 
I've seen like 1 person say they did it successfully, so it doesn't hurt to try
but I wouldn't expect it to, like all other connections
Yeah, and honestly I'm not sure why it did work for them 
Definitely doesn't seem like it's supposed to. My guess is that that person actually did have it installed, but didn't turn it on (ie Ctrl + M)
Understand thank you, and is there existing a other substitude like this mod or that is the only one?
you can look at the log files, it will just be only text
Yeah, as the rando ReadMe (and SHO) mention, the HelperLog is a really good resource
There's also Blu's Log Reader, which is pinned in #randomizer

I should check
