Save Files

What do save files looks like?

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

Reverting Backups

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

Modded Saves

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

Where are the files?

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

I need a specific type of save file

• 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 .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

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

So I’ve gotten bepin ex on my Mac OS using this tutorial. #modding-discussion message but idk if it’s working or not. Also how tf do I download mods with this?

[neat atlas]

U download mods by finding the mod u want through thunderstore, then putting that mod in the plugins folder

And its pretty easy to test if bepinex is working by testing if a plugin is working

Ig the log file would also indicate if it’s working, tho I’m not an expert on that

[kindred canopy]

is it pirated?

[vagrant orbit]

You can use Custom Knight. See skins like Mimikyu and Little Radiance, which both edit a lot of text

[vagrant orbit]

Multiple tools are overall needed, although ilSpy is used for the basics. If you're interested in Silksong Modding, join the Modding server and opt into Dev and Silksong channels, then look around

Anyone here tried double enemy mod in Silksong?

It's a lot harder than I thought it'd be

I got stuck on bell beast for a while, and now fourth (eighth) chorus is kicking my ass

It's a mod for the kinda people who liked the Savage Beastfly fights

The fights are so hype though

• 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.

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Co-op (PVP disabled)

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

if you want to troubleshoot you should make a #1057825333841240104 post with the required info. Generally mods do not add input delay

at the moment there isnt really a mod manager that supports silksong modding for macos. u will need to install bepinex and manually install mods without the use of a mod manager. here are instructions on how to do so: #modding-discussion message

[eternal robin]

guys i disabled the lumafly mods but it still shows some "api mod" thingy on the top left corner of menu when i open the game. how do i completely disable the mods and just get the normal game?

i want to completely disable the mods and just play vanilla game and i just wanna launch it on steam

[dry snow]

There’s an option to launch the game in vanilla in lumafly menu

[eternal robin]

but i wanna launch it from steam and remove the mods description on the top left corner on the menu

What is the name of the mode with harder nightmare king Grimm?

[uncut nexus]

i wonder if there is a mod in hk where instead of you playing as the knight u play as hornet with all her mechanics and all that, but the same thing for silksong but instead of hornet you play as the knight

It would be even better if all the hornet fights are replaced with the knight as a boss with his own attacks from the game itself, would be really cool.

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

• 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 Del or Fn+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 Reload in 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

If you are new to modding, please follow along with this video to learn how to do it

• Scarab (Win/Mac/Linux) original installer

Silksong

Silksong modding uses Thunderstore. Currently we are recommending some well-known Thunderstore installers, although in the future we are planning to have a custom one specifically for Silksong. MacOS users will need to follow these instructions: #modding-discussion message

• Gale (Win/Linux)

guys i beat path of pain

[covert estuary]

Carefree is the highest level of grimmchild in code, so stop 1 before that (4 iirc)

[lethal gale]

I have an idea for a HKSS mod, but I have no experience with HK modding. Also, it ideally requires spritework surgery, which I also have no experience in.

But it boils down to Replace Hornet's Nail with the Rosary Cannon model, using the Shaman crest moveset as shotgun blasts, to make a gun mod.

You can get the dmg output editor and reduce it a bit

I think so, been using it for a while for hk skins and pale court

[dry snow]

it is, feel free to use it

anyone know why whenever i set my health to 99 in silksong, the silk meter just stops existing?

like i cant gain silk at all

[stoic ivy]

is that safe or nah?

[civic crane]

just downloaded it. any tips for mods. and btw if i launch modded will my save file be destroyed or smth

[rocky sky]

nope, my favs are pale court, custom knight and HKMP

[civic crane]

shall i download all those then?

[rocky sky]

if you want pale court adds a few new bosses and charms, custom knight lets you change your player model and HKMP is multiplayer

[neat tundra]

yes, it is just image files

[civic crane]

do i need more then hkmp for multi? i saw an vid saying hkmp pouch is good

[neat tundra]

most of the time you should have HKMP pouch, it allows you to connect to the hkmp.org public servers and makes many hkmp addons work, but you should disable it if for example you're using HKMP.Tag

[civic crane]

Btw ty yall for being so helpfull

[rocky sky]

your welcome dude

[civic crane]

i just launched my first mod! got an crash at first but now it works thanks yall

hey again. if i launch pale court in my main save file will it corrupt it later?

• If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del or Fn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
• If your skin 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 Reload in 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.

You must include a screenshot that shows:

[spiral void]

Is it possible to get those custom knight skins from the "The White Palace" challenge I saw like...forever ago? There was one that was really cool as a reward for beating p5 on one mask or something and I'm assuming they aren't running the challenges anymore

[stoic sun]

guys i need somebody who can make hollow knight skins

[dense wigeon]

Unfortunately no, all the challenges are pretty much ended.

[dense wigeon]

There are a small handful of people who do that, but you'll need to be prepared to pay several hundred dollars if you're looking to commission one

[stoic sun]

hi

youre the gguy behind the google doc right

the one with the whole lotta skins

[dense wigeon]

Yes, I have a skin list

[stoic sun]

basically

[spiral void]

Do you think it's possible to find someone who has the skin I am talking about and would be willing to share it w/ me? or is that a pipe dream lol

[stoic sun]

i have 3 robux its all i got and i need to commission someone

do you know anybody who is willing to take that

[low vine]

can someone please help me make skins for these :3

[dense wigeon]

I mean maybe but honestly I hope not. There have been skin makers who fully stopped creating because people shared stuff that wasn't supposed to be shared

[stoic sun]

fuh

[spiral void]

Oh yea, I guess that makes sense

[dense wigeon]

No LMAO. Making a skin is months of work. There are over 800 sprites to make a full knight skin

so colette

you just add your texutre here?

or what

im confused

[dense wigeon]

Well, you'll need the folder structure there as well, but yes. Unless you only want them to apply with a specific skin, then you'd add them to the skin's Swap folder

[low vine]

so for like knight or lifeseed youd use skin folder and if you want knight and lifeseed textures youd put them in swap within theyre own folder?

[dense wigeon]

Anything in the CK Swap folder will apply to any/all skins. Anything in the Skin Swap folder will only apply to that skin

[low vine]

yeah

so if i want 1 textures it goes in skin
if i want 2 it goes in swap in a folder?

[past eagle]

enemy health bar skin is not working

[dense wigeon]

it doesn't matter how many. It just depends under what circumstances you want it applied

Then you select your settings, and the mod will generate a new board in your bingosync room with the settings you selected

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.

[civic crane]

if i add pale court to my main save file is there any way it can ruin the save file?

[dense wigeon]

unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to make a backup

?tag savefaq

[fathom wigeon]

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

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

Reverting Backups

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

Modded Saves

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

Where are the files?

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

I need a specific type of save file

• 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 .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

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

Hi

I have a suggestion for the scaling for the knight mod

SilkSpear = Vengeful Spirit
CrossStitch = Desolate Dive
ThreadStorm = Howling Wraiths
SharpDart = Shade Soul
RuneRage = Descending Dark
PaleNails = Abyss Shriek

[stone latch]

does anyone know if the „Winter“ custom knight skin still works bc when i downloaded it it came out as a .pdf file

[valid patrol]

SwiftStep = Shade Cloak
DriftersCloak = (Shade Form)
ClingGrip = Mantis Claw
Needolin = Awoken Dream Nail
ClawLine = Crystal Heart
FaydownCloak = Monarch Wings
SilkSoar = (Crystal Flight)

Shade Form - Turn Into Shade for 1 second, letting you move in any direction
Crystal Flight - Crystal Heart but Upwards, and faster

Ill be back with the other abilities

Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing mods ⚠️

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

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

wht mod loader

[full wharf]

when i try to install a mod on lumafly this error appears does anyone know how to fix it?

[dusty helm]

i forgot the name of it

[red plinth]

Lumafly is the recommended installer

[dusty helm]

o

ok

why is it redirecting me to steam

🥀

[red plinth]

Was your key that you bought not a steam key?

[dusty helm]

it was on gog

[red plinth]

Lumafly should find gog files too. You should be able to redirect it to gog if it doesn't.

[dusty helm]

🤷

[red plinth]

Try running lumafly as admin

[full wharf]

that worked tysm

[sand nacelle]

i want to replay the original hollow knight since i bought it on steam but i want to make it harder, do you have any mod recommendation like for example double hp bosses or something so i can make the game harder

Dude modded hollow knight is so fun

I love custom skins so much

Genuinely enjoying it more than regular hollow knight

Ofc im not done with hollow knight yet, which is why im using just skins

And nothing more

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

• 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 Del or Fn+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 Reload in 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
• With the directory bar visible
• With the skin images visible
• Example:

?tag achievements

[fathom wigeon]

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.

rope randomizer and butt randomizer are what make the rando experience what it is

[minor hawk]

Mods can affect saves, so you are always welcomed to back up your saves before modding
If your saves are synced between Xbox and PC then I think the modifications on your save files will be carried over (so if you use debugmod to give yourself 15 masks on PC, your Xbox save will also have 15 masks)

That said pretty much all the save file modifications you can make are revertable (with different amounts of hoops required, so you shouldn’t be too afraid (it does depend on what kind of mods you are planning on using)

[supple sinew]

How would I back up my saves?

Notes: These assume you're using Steam, with default locations. For GoG, locate your hollow_knight.exe folder, and then follow from there. The Save Files location is the same for all versions (except for XBox Games) and additionally contains Global Settings as well as your ModLog.txt. Some mod installers such as Lumafly can open these folders for you.

• Lumafly Shortcuts: Open Mods Folder | Open Saves Folder

• **Windows except XBox Games ** 🪟

  • To find Saves folder:
    1. Press [WindowsKey] + [R]
    2. Copy & Paste the Save Files path

• Mac OS 🍎

  • Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/

?tag savefaq

[fathom wigeon]

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

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

Reverting Backups

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

Modded Saves

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

Where are the files?

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

I need a specific type of save file

• 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 .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

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

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

• Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Download: https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly?download
  • Make sure that the Lumafly's exe isn't in Downloads. Ideally put it on your Desktop.
• Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
  • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
• After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files).
  If you have further issues, then please see #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

Important paths

• Save Files: %AppData%\..\Local\Packages\
  • Find a folder in here with Team Cherry in the name.
• Game Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\
• Mod Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
• Note: Microsoft manages this install weirdly and syncs its files to inaccessible folders, so changes may need a few minutes to take effect and bugs with installing or uninstalling mods can occur.

Don't use Lumafly v2, it was made by someone who isn't affiliated with the community and that installer doesn't do anything. There will be made a community-made installer at some point though (which will still use bepinex)

And for what yo use currently, check the pinned messages

of course, i still am finishing the game

Maybe after this massege I will need to leave the server because of hate for me..... I understand it and I'm ready for it because if it happens, then I deserve it.
||is it a shame to use mods that makes game easier?||

[fickle shadow]

anyone know thy my game wont save, these are the only mods i have enabled

cuz i'm doing a second playthrough just for fun

well ig third cuz i did a steel soul speedrun

[viscid timber]

Should I leave the game because of this modpack?

[paper shuttle]

Can I ask someone, if I will edit my nail level to be 2, will it auto add damage to my weapon?
I used QoL json to edit, but there two separate fields for upgrade and for damage, so I am not sure if I need to change damage manualy too.

[uneven sentinel]

Can someone help me

I can’t find any good debug mods

[viscid timber]

write "cheat" in lumafly

please don't ask why did I know it, I'm shamed

[uneven sentinel]

It came up as mod terminal is that it?

[viscid timber]

yep

mod terminal, it's amazing

all bunch of cheats and debugs!

[uneven sentinel]

I did a challenge to get a modded charm and it didn’t appear so imma just give it to me

Also I use to main on my Xbox so imma make a new save and use the debug to give me all my stuff I already had

Thanks for the help

Oh wait how do I use it?

[viscid timber]

what?

mod terminal?

[uneven sentinel]

Yeah

[viscid timber]

umm

[uneven sentinel]

Like what button

To make it pop up

[viscid timber]

im mod settings

[uneven sentinel]

Ok

Thanks

[viscid timber]

NP)
I hope this will help to wah my sins at least a little bit

[lunar root]

Theres a mod literally called debug btw

[uneven sentinel]

It wasn’t popping up on lumafly

[lunar root]

Maybe you wrote it wrong, shpuld be close to the top eitherway near other mods that start with d

[uneven sentinel]

Nah it’s fine it was called cheats not debug I got it tho

[lunar root]

I havent tried or even heard of that mod before, but if it works for you thats great

Debugs kinda the base aaround here

[viscid timber]

well... actually debug CAN be used as cheat

[lunar root]

It does have an entire section labeled "cheats"

[viscid timber]

oh
damn
And it's for just cheats or also for easy mods?

[lunar root]

Its has quite a lot of features not only cheats

-# theres also a mod called easymode but

[viscid timber]

but what...?

[lunar root]

-# thats kinda a lot of changes

[viscid timber]

yeah, I know it....

sadly I use it

[dense wigeon]

it's a single player game, no one cares what you do in your own save. If anything you're only hurting your own experience.

[uneven sentinel]

I’m about to fight the ancient aspid wish me luck

[viscid timber]

good luck

[dry snow]

just do whatever you want to make the game fun for you. it's not a problem. if you find the game fun later you can disable these mods and play normally

it's your world. no one can play it except you anyway

[uneven sentinel]

I really only add mods that add more areas and more charms for me to explore and find

Enhance my experience

[dry snow]

and randomizer cuz it's funny af

[uneven sentinel]

YESSS

I have a save file with room randomizer and item randomizer and it’s hell

[dry snow]

-# i bought c dash for 50 geo near the crossroads stag in my last randomizer lol

[uneven sentinel]

Daaangh

[viscid timber]

As I know enemy randomizer cound a lot more hell

[uneven sentinel]

I got sold grimmchild for 1000 geo dawg

[viscid timber]

was it maxed out?

[uneven sentinel]

Nope

First stage

[viscid timber]

that's a kind of a scam

[uneven sentinel]

Alright I’m fighting ancient aspid now I’ll be back

[dry snow]

you can't activate the grimm troupe quest line without having it soooo

[viscid timber]

absolute radiance in first room oh yeah

[uneven sentinel]

Oh hell no

[dry snow]

sadly the enemy randomizer doesn't work on the radiance last fight. imagine you go into the hollow knight's mind and it's a tiktik that was creating the infection this whole time

[uneven sentinel]

How am I supposed to beat this thing

For both of you

[uneven sentinel]

Thanks for realzies

Someone recommend me a mod that adds a new area

[neat tundra]

the only one i know of is called silksong

[uneven sentinel]

Dawg

I’ve dried silksong out of mods

Hollow knight has so many still

I wnat a mod that adds a new area to the game

[covert estuary]

Pale court adds some new rooms

Scattered and Lost does as well

[uneven sentinel]

Is scattered and lost on lumafly?

[covert estuary]

Yes

[uneven sentinel]

Thanks I want to make the world bigger

[neat tundra]

-# install smol knight and zoom in

[uneven sentinel]

Silksong being around 20 to 30 bucks and having a very small group of devs is insane

[neat tundra]

if you want, The Glimmering Realm is cool but it's not exactly what you're asking for

[uneven sentinel]

The game is huge and plus the DLCS are usually free

What does it add

[neat tundra]

a new gamemode where the progression is changed, the order of rooms is totally diferent, there is a new lore and some rooms are changed a bit

[unborn junco]

Does anyone know how to change your skin on Silksong Mods with Mac

Hey what was the skin path for Mac for Hollow Knight? it might be the same for silkson

[uneven sentinel]

DO NOT

AND I SAY

DO NOT

INSTALL GLIMMERING REALSM

ITS A ENDLESS ABYSS OF A HOWLING PEAKS FAKE AND CRYSTAL PEAKS AND MORE CRYSTAL PEAKS AND MORE CRYSTAL PEAKS

[dense wigeon]

sounds like someone got lost

[scenic stirrup]

One question i have to ask, i might start a new run to access the Path of Pain, but is there any mods that allow access in one save

I feel like its been done before

or the idea itself

[minor hawk]

QoL

[pseudo holly]

yall got silksong mod recommendations?

[scenic stirrup]

Thanks, ill research it

Oh wow

my guy was telling the truth

W human

[digital vessel]

i love lumafly
wish there was a modding thing for silksong though

like cogfly or smth

that would be the name

[dense wigeon]

there are already 2 modding things for silksong that work perfectly fine, and eventually there will be a custom installer as well.

[summer cipher]

Hey where are modders uploading SIlksong mods to? is it just Nexus? or is there somewhere else I can look for mods?

[lucid thicket]

The files are already one folder too deep, they should be in the same folder as the .app (so in the Hollow Knight Silksong folder)

[lucid thicket]

There's stuff on Thunderstore, check the pins for more info

The one in the path at the bottom

[summer cipher]

what are you opening in terminal for?

You can just cd from terminal to the path.
cd user/folder/subfolder/etc and then execute the commands from there

[lucid thicket]

The "new terminal at folder" option works too

[summer cipher]

That also is a great option.

I'm an ex-linux user so cd is my go-to

if that doesnt pop up go to system preferences and check security and privacy under the general tab

it should pop up on the lower portion of that, if it hasnt, you've done something wrong.

Weird.

Hm. Fascinating.

Yeah I got nothing. I dont remember how I did my bepin setup but it went pretty smoothly.

[raw wharf]

a bug I found in hollow point that makes it impossible to bench warp to some places.

[unborn junco]

its' supposed to look like that yeah

mine is like thatr

that*

im able to mod on mac

there's a youtube video that goes step by step

[summer cipher]

ok hold on, bc im on mac

what mod do ppl use for boss rush

[magic steppe]

Hi guys i have a question, is a playable hornet mod in the first game confirmed, or not? Like the knight in silksong mod

[vagrant orbit]

It's a common request. I have no idea if anyone is attempting to make it right now.

There's a lot of interest in mixing the two games, but there are a lot of barriers to doing so, including different unity versions as well as means to do so legally

T^T then Ig I can't add skin since mine is pirated and is on mobile T^T

[viscid timber]

BTW will it make the game lag?

[uneven sentinel]

Nah it’s a tiny thing you dream nail that leads to its boss fight

With a charm if you beat him

It didn’t lag at all and I still had like 20 other mods on

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

• 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 Del or Fn+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 Reload in 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.

Hello, I'd like to know how to install skins on Custom Skins. When I place my file in the "skin" folder, it doesn't work. When I apply the skin, my character turns white and then reverts to its original form.

please help 🥺

[dense wigeon]

see the post directly above yours

[crude merlin]

I got an idea for a mod, although I really don't know how it'll be executed due to the sheer scale, but what about a mod that adds in all the missing bits of lore that TC had originally planned for Hollow Knight? This can include missing charms, missing rooms and missing lines. I do have an idea on what it can be named though: Promised Stories, if anyone is able to do it I would be more than happy to try my best to help x3

[dense wigeon]

No offense but you're going to need more than an idea & good intentions for people sign up to work on a mod that big.

[crude merlin]

I know its wishful thinking lol

more or less just wanted to say that in the event anyone is as interested as me x3

[dense wigeon]

its also likely to get buried here pretty quickly. The modding server has a channel dedicated to posting ideas

[nocturne dagger]

is there a mod to speed up colosseum
like when i die i have to go get shade, climb up, go left, placethe mark, then go right

is there a mod that can just spawn me in at the start of colo after each death

[minor hawk]

Maybe nowalkofshame

Though to be honest a colo attempt should take some 5+ minutes, so those initial 30 seconds of setup are kinda insignificant

[nocturne dagger]

didnt do anything for me

[nocturne dagger]

it adds up quickly

i can die to like

the first wave or second from notbeing too careful

[minor hawk]

To me that sounds like your issue is that you are tilted and not playing to the best of your abilities
A mod to make attempts faster wouldn’t be as helpful as taking a break, eating a cookie, drinking a glass of water and touching grass

[lunar root]

Eating a cooking

[strong maple]

Hi guys. I recently finished my Hollow Knight item rando and need some more ideas what else I can randomize. I really crave a challenge, but not too time consuming at all like, idk, grass randomizer, where you find something good every 10 minutes.
Any ideas?

[unique kindle]

Well, there are a lot of connections that can make routing more, ahem, diverse

I personally recommend and like Randomizable Levers, Breakable Wall Randomizer, Access Randomizer and More Doors for those purposes - though using them all at once will definitely make the seed quite more time consuming, so feel free to try one at a time (or maybe 2 if one of them is AccessRandomizer which is likely the mildest in terms of map-changing)

If you want combat-based challenge, using some of Randomizer 4's novelties or adding some Godhome content to spice things up is possible with GodhomeRandomizer too. TheRealJournalRando doesn't affect your combat, but it also makes some more combat based places be far more tempting - and Colo 3 definitely can be a juicy spot unlike in base rando

ExtraRando, RandoPlus and YetAnotherRandoConnection do add some misc stuff that can be interesting as well, and in the last one in particular it can spice things up a bit specially if you randomize Jelly Egg Bombs

You can get a glance on many of these and some others here:

can someone help install a multiplayer mod pls

[lethal gale]

I am looking to do a gun-mod run. What mods should I be looking at to get extra starting items and change out a specific item in the world?

(Specifically- Start with a Rosary cannon, 3x 340 rosary necklaces, and a broken silkshot, replace the rosary cannon pickup with a 3rd broken silkshot)

[nocturne dagger]

no, i just have skill issue

[lethal gale]

You'd be amazed how much taking a break of a few hours improves skill issues. Give your reflexes time to process what you have experienced.

[nocturne dagger]

but i just started

[spiral quail]

I shouldn't use mods for my first playthrough of hollow knight right guys?

[lethal gale]

I made it through with pre-buff beast crest unmodded, just looking at an online map.

I'm looking for Silksong mods to add starting equipment. (brokenSilkshots+rosaries+cannon) Any suggestions?

Hello guys how do i get the mod menu ? I cant find it anywhere

[magic steppe]

Hi guys, I have a question, Is the Hollow knight Multiplayer mod compatible with MacOS?

[covert estuary]

Yes

[quasi tartan]

Hello friends, I've seen a guy who often does challenges like "Sawtooth only", do you know what mod is used to give certain items like that? I'd love to do similar things.

[dense wigeon]

Probably debug mod.

[quasi tartan]

Oh?

Like ouh, the Cinematic Unity Explorer?

[glacial obsidian]

join us in making coral forest mod (the mod will replace sands of karak and blasted steps with original coral location and add some new content, if you can draw in hollow knight style or coding mods for hk dm me for details)

[quasi tartan]

Also, how would I go about using Skin Mods in Silksong? I have one but I can't quite figure it out, and the description barely has any information

[opaque sable]

is there a mod that ||stops Mottled Skarr from dying?||

[opaque sable]

sent a DM!

[dense wigeon]

No, the mod name is debug

[shy gorge]

hi, is there a sksong rando mod yet ?

[dry snow]

Not yet

[dense wigeon]

Actually technically yes but not a very good one

[lethal gale]

not seeing the debug mod

[dense wigeon]

Ping isn't needed thanks. You could ask in the speedrun server, it may not be on installers yet as last I heard there was an update pending.

[lethal gale]

this is the only HK focused discord I'm in

[dense wigeon]

the speedrun server is pinned in the speedrun channel if you want to join. or you could search here, I've seen it linked before. Or you can wait until it's added to installers.

[dry snow]

I think Jamie said it’ll be on there soon

[lethal gale]

How many things does debug mod handle?

[dense wigeon]

lots

(if you have a question about something specific, just say it)

[lethal gale]

Like I've said previously, I want to kitbash a shotgun mod out of crestless+shaman crest, Rosary cannon and extra broken tools.

[dense wigeon]

debug is not for making mods

it's just a cheat engine

[lethal gale]

so, I could do it for myself, but not share it.

[dense wigeon]

debug can give items, money, health, do savestates etc. but if you want to actually make a mod that would need coding experience

[lethal gale]

Can debug customize a crest?

[dense wigeon]

No

It only gives things. Generally only from the base game, unless a mod has specifically added debug integration

[lethal gale]

Fortunatly, Silksong has a lot of base-game gun-likes

[keen flint]

One question

Can you get mods on console?

[dense wigeon]

Nope.
