mod that adds greyroot to hollow knight
Phantom
Actual phantom
is being developed
and its afull phantom skin
rn just get santa hornet
Kingdom swap
yeah but where to get em
bro
i couldnt find any good skin mod on gale
@mellow isle
okay uhhh
I THINK the relyea tutorial is outdated.................
didn't the game get updated
won't mods like
not work anymore
or is that not how hollow knight modding works
I'm new to this
Not sure of what that particular tutorial recommends
After modded version
But current mod installer is Lumafly (if it does say Scarab then it's also correct but Lumafly is more updated)
For files you probably want to make a backup before doing mods. Most are harmless but a few can make changes that are quite harder to revert
So you can play with multiple mods at once?
if so I can like
suffer.
I know in undertale you can't
or at least it's difficult
so I was just making sure
in that case
I'm so cooked.
You can, but multiple mods that affect the same thing tend to end up being a bit buggy
So keep that in mind
(IE, having 2 modded bosses of Pure Vessel at once probably won't end well)
dont make me pull out the image™
Something like infinity and pale prince will lead to an explosion
However there are some good mod combos like pale prince + pale shadow(very hard),tribe of battle + mantis gods(free)
Basically,mixing mods is fun but dont expect it to work

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.

Is it possible to install mods manually?
Ping isn't needed thanks. And yes you can install them manually but the download still comes from github.

How to manually install mods on 1.5.78
- Download the mod (it'll be either a
dllfile or a.zipthat you need to Extract. *Extraction tutorial: * https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/1135824458041540629/image.png). - Go to your
/Modsfolder and create a folder with the name of the mod. - Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
- Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
- Launch the game.
Example of an installed mod:
anyways, try https://github.com/bol-van/zapret-win-bundle
in russia we got A LOT of banned stuff
oh waitn
LMAO
how they gonna download a fix from github when their problem is they can't access github 
well ugh
So... I haven't set foot in this server since 2019, but I had to drop by to ask...
Is a cross-game rando already in the works?
probably but ss doesn’t even have a working rando that has logic yet and won’t for awhile
Gods I need help so I want to mod something in but idk what and it needs to fit into a new play through or a way to skip having to do a new play through like an instant godseeker mode to test the stuff out so if anyone has suggestions let me know
i swear i got pinged
Probably a reply ping on a skin link from 2022
real
I have been trying to find a way to do that for so long, someone seriously needs to mod that; but anyhow you can probably take someone's 112% save from speedrun.com or something to unlock godseeker mode there
Godseeker Plus does in fact give instant Godseeker mode

- 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)
IP: hkmp.org
PORT: 26951
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Infection Tag
IP: tag.hkmp.org
PORT: 26950
Requires HKMP Tag and at least three players```
*Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!*
yes its called hkmp (or ssmp for silksong) and they can be found on lumafly and the thunderstore respectively
yaya thank you
is there a way to make hkmp local or is it just online
HKMP Guide
I just did an enemy rando with the worst settings I could think of
and in the FIRST ROOM after leaving dirtmouth
NKG and PURE VESSEL SPAWNED IN THE SAME ROOM 😭
how do you do enemy rando i wanna try!
do you already have Lumafly installed?
the mod’s called enemy randomizer
downloaded it thank you
np :3
how can i downgrade my modding api down to a lower one
what does map sync do
i wanna see my friends on my map but dont wanna sync any enemies
Pretty sure map sync has a readme that explains things.
If you just want to see them use HKMP. Only the beta has enemy sync
Any mod that can help me practice bosses without undoing everything I have in the other save files I have?
For Silksong btw

Debug mod with save states is probably what you want
Wait that’s possible
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

I bought hk and sk for less than 10 bucks, genuine steal but I'm not gonna play sk for months probably
I got HK for 2 bucks around 2 years ago which was disgustingly cheap
It really is just harder to have a payment method available than to pay the actual thing
Guys how do I remove the annoying "modding API: 1.5.78.11833-77" thingie I'm not playing the game modded I disabled everything through lumafly and launched through steam
Press launch vanilla in lumafly
Bruh I gotta launch every time through lumafly
That sounds annoying
No after you've done it once it stays unmodded till you press launch modded again
Oh okk thx
Hmm, does it allow me to teleport to a certain boss?
kinda
like, you have to make save states to teleport to them
if you say "i want to teleport directly to the traitor lord fight" it cant do that specifically
you have to go out of your way to noclip to the room outside of it, make a savestate, and then it can do that
so it can do what you're asking for, just a bit of manual effort
I'm asking for Silksong btw but ig it's the same thing
yeah hk and silksong debug mod are really similar
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ExBLBNE4S/
first challenge skin for silksong
quit
nuh uh
uh, learn tricks ig

I used the Godseeker Plus mod to reduce her HP from 2000 to 1280. It makes subphase 1 shorter but doesn't affect subphase 2 (the one that really matters)
i watched this guy
IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO WTF??
Thought these runs were pretty cool. Hoping to get consistent at subphase 2 and then I'll be able to do the whole thing pretty easily
Charms:
Strength
QS (legacy)
Sharp Shadow
Dashmaster

I just shade cloaked the first one and paused right before the second one
pausing removes it for some reason

What do you want ?
Hey everyone, could someone send me the complete Nightmare's Park mod file, and the mod for adding skins? Unfortunately, Lumafly won't download the mods on my laptop because the Github website is blocked on my PC. I've already changed DNS, VPN, and IP address, and it doesn't work.
you mean nightmare spark?
Yes
Would it be possible to get his file for me? And if possible, the one for the custom knight.
Personally, I would suggest working more on getting a connection. If your region is blocked, then you just need to use a VPN that is set to a different region.
Just being send the mod file alone isn't actually going to work
why wouldnt it
Because the mod file alone doesn't include installing the moddingapi
oh
right fair enough
Additionally, the Skins aren't on GitHub, but the mod that uses them (Custom Knight) ofc is
I've already installed it debug And the pale court is open and they are functioning.
Does anyone have a fully decompiled SK Unity project?

I absolutely would not recommend Nexus for HK. Even though the community doesn't recommend it for either game, you could at least make a reasonable point about it currently being a good source of Silksong mods; but for HK it's a terrible choice
Nexus mods aren't compatible with proper HK mods, and the most commonly wanted HK mods are not there (ie Custom Knight, Randomizer, etc)

finally something other that channel desc.
so i just opened silksong in the unity editor
theres fucking compilation errors
tc what are we doing
oh interesting. the main menu is actually a 3d scene
All unity scenes are always 3D afaik, but the main menu specifically makes use of it because the particles in the BG aren't a video- they are being live generated and scattered about.
I highly recommend playing around with the More Particles mod on the Main Menu 
OH THE ENTIRE GAME IS 3D
yeah i saw that
and i decompiled the actual game into a unity project so yeah
oh come on tc you couldnt make this easy for me
you didnt use a 2d tilemap really
bro they really used the old input system
Didn't this happen in HK?

Fixing Common issues on Linux/SteamDeck
- Controller Doesn't Work / [Some Mod] isn't working!
- By default (especially on SteamDeck) Steam may be using Proton and installed the Windows version of the game. This can have problems on it's own, but also causes issues because the Mod Installers will install the Linux version of the ModdingAPI, which isn't fully compatible with the Windows version.
- How to Fix: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)
- After this you'll need to select "Change Paths" in your Mod Installer and change it to the new install path (which you can get by using the "Browse Local Files" option in Steam, then reinstall your mods.
- If using a Playstation/Nintendo controller, see this information.
- Game crashes or has visual glitches when starting / while playing!
- Add
-force-openglto the steam launch arguments. Note: This can be a problem even if playing Vanilla, but it is commonly seen when Modding because of the greater resources used.
- Add
- Mods not saving correctly / loading correctly
- This can happen if the Permissions in your Hollow Knight install get messed up. You can fix this by making sure that the current user (or all users) have permissions for the Hollow Knight install directory and subdirectory & files. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, then you can open terminal, use
CD "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/"to get to the Steam Apps directory, and then usesudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight"to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.

How to fix Installer Errors
- Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
- Make sure that the Installer isn't in your Downloads folder (Desktop or a folder on the same drive as your game install is best).
- If the installer is in a
.zip, then you must Extract it - Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator"
- If Lumafly is automatically closing, you may be missing a system file to open it. This is currently easily fixed by running the older installer, Scarab once.
- -# Note: it's recommended to use Lumafly overall, as Scarab has some long term issues that are fixed by Lumafly.

?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

- 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.

anyone available to help me with modding on mac
i've installed bepinex and the game launches fine but the mods aren't present in game
Ok so for sksg I have the mods working and I believe everything is in the right directory but hornet's cloak doesn't change with the skin mods but the effects and stuff show so it's working but some of it isn't, even the cloak in the menu shows the modded version
I was wondering if I should open a whole thing or if anyone knows what the problem could be
I downloaded it from nexus though so should I try thunderstore
All my mods are already from nexus so i dont really wanna switch everything
i did all my stuff via nexus and am now retrying via thunderstore to confirm whether its user error on my part or not
fortunately thunderstore is way less annoying to download from than nexus !
i reinstalled my skong mods via thunderstore and it worked! i'd recommend doing the same
ok that's good
ok ty i suppose i shall eventually
Is it safe to use the godhome mod if I've beaten act 2, but not 3?
I wouldnt try any mod if you havent beaten the game, or more importantly, i wouldnt use any mods in your main save
can someone help me get started with moding?
Are there any randomizers for silksong yet?
Probably not
modding doesn’t exist on console yet right
Yup, only on pc (or steam deck)

Just search for "map" on your installer
I really don't understand why some people find joy in being pointlessly rude
What's the funny part?
Like, I politely ask you not to do something. You do it multiple more times. Hilarity somehow ensues?
I guess I'll never get the joke 
I'm having some issues with debug mod in silksong
- the option to reload the quick save on death seems to have softlocked the save state system, now it just tells me that a save state is loading so I cannot load another one. the game also softlocks when I go to back to menu
- whenever I load state, it breaks my ability to use plasmium phial (no lifeblood is given, it is not visual) and hunter crest focus (the bar doesn't seem to fill up) until I reload the entire file
on that note, is there a version that can do things like refill flea brew and plasmium phial?
uh oh i broke the game
shit
what does it mean if it cant retrieve the file from the mods folder
because i really need to retrieve that mod
to unbreak my save file
Idk if anyone's already thought about or made this, and idk if this will ever be something that will come to Silksong, but I feel like a really cool thing would be the ability to actually compose and save your own pieces.
At first you can only compose with the Needolin when its acquired but then you can maybe find, collect, or even build new instruments to unlock more options as to what you can compose with.
I feel like all things considered it just makes perfect sense for the game.

i have custom knight but the mod dosent have a download button in the discord
oh
where did you get your game
are there any mods on scarab to show boss health bars?
i've looked up words like "health" but nothing similar to what i wanted came up
Enemy HP bar
much thanks to you kind sir
Note that one of the reasons that Lumafly is recommended over Scarab, is that will also search the mod description as well
Scarab's search is significantly worse
i'm just doing what mr fireb0rn told me to do
You should read the pinned comment in that video
woah
thats you!

i would try out the mod but i'm doing path of pain 😔

hey guys what are the mods yall will recommend?
is there a mod for inf monarch wings jumps
For silksong or hk
If it's for hollow knight
I mean randomizer is goated but everyone knows that
Also pale court is a rly fun one that adds new charms and bosses in a way that feels vanilla-like
when i go in my custom knight folder there no skins folder could i get some help?
Halloween vocalised is goated (gives everything in the game spoken voicelines)
Hkmp is also really fun if you have friends
i really need help cuz my brother doesn't wanna help me
You need to boot up the game and enter a save to generate the folder

Hey everyone.
I play on a Nintendo Switch and would like to play on a PC.
Is there anyway I can transfer save files from a Nintendo Switch 2’s Hollow Knight to a Steam’s Hollow Knight?
Im unsure
I think you can if you grab an SD card and copy your hollow knight save data
In essence the two versions of the game are almost identical so saves should be read similarly on both device, the question is can you extract it from your switch
iirc switch saves are different from PC saves, but i'm not using a switch to play HK so i never tried to do that
https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/1744482417425464225/
Do this but in reverse I suppose. Make sure to have made a save on pc before transfering
Instructions Enter the game on your Switch and create a new game. Exit the game after you are able to save. Extract the save file with either Checkpoint or a save manager of your selection. (Saves should be saved as user1.dat or any number depending on the slot.) Go to https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/ on your PC and insert your PC save file i...
This is for switch though, idk how switch 2 would differ from that
It’s also for 1.4 i think, not sure if stuff has changed since then but mayhaps
I feel like there was a tag for converting saves, but I don't remember what it was. Also might have been gamepass > steam rather than switch
I looked through the NS2’s microchip and it’s encrypted, which might be impossible to transfer into Steam, considering the save systems are very much different.
i love random .exe files
hey guys quick question: I'm using a customknight skin rn and for some reason the game is only registering one input at a time, anybody know what this issue might be caused by?
nvm fixed it
Next question ^_^
Is hkmp the best multiplayer mod and if so wheremst do i acquire it?
What is the name of the mod that makes the background blur clear?
And is there any mod the tells me about when boss phase changes and how many they have
Any mod installer
I prefer lumafly
HKMP Guide
I believe if you search Blur in Lumafly that you'll find what you're looking for
Not afaik
And that would probably not be easy to create
Team Cherry isn't known for doing things in a "consistent" way that would allow a mod like that to be reasonably created

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.

does mods make it so you don’t get achievements?
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.

hello guys
i managed to beat a boss that spawned some sort of npc called divine
however first i beat her
then i found some guy in the underground tunnel/caves
and i extinquished some fire in there
later on i read on the wiki page that i am really fucked
is there a mod where i can spawn divine or get the fragile charms and make then non-fragile or something
i managed to beat the game as well
need to the the pale court and start the pantheon afterwards
however i am missing a lot of charms
i might be done cuz tell me why, i downloaded pale court, went to the court hall of gods, sat at a bench and now my games bugged and i cant move, and my cameras locked on the entrance to hall of gods in godhome
?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.
If you're having other issues, then please read #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post with the requested info and any details. Be aware that Pale Court was not designed to be compatible with other mods, and you will usually need to choose between using either Pale Court or the other mod(s).
Check the Benchwarp section of the message above
i dont have benchwarp installed
In that case, enable Pale Court again and you should spawn at the bench
Then sit on a normal bench and then disable it
alr will try it out, ty
yeah it didnt work, does the same thing even in vanilla
The issue is expected to happen in vanilla, which is why I was pointing to re-enabling the mod. Your Knight is sitting at a bench that doesn't exist outside the scope of Pale Court and the game tries to load a scene that's not built, which is why you spawn OOB.
You can also save edit your spawn point to appear elsewhere, let me check a proper way to do so.
alr thanks alot
Check your userX.json file (X being the file number) and look for the atBench and respawnScene and set the following:
"atBench": true,
"respawnScene": "GG_Workshop",
tried looking and only found userX.modded.json, which had nothing such as atbench + respawn scene
Should be on the same path
(Note that it only exists if you have QoL installed, since QoL makes the .dat to .json conversion and vice versa. Alternatively you can also edit the .dat on the save editing website)

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

- QoL mod | Install
- If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called
user#.json(where#is the file number), which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. If you do not know where your saves are located, type?tag savesfor more information
- If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called

- 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.

Hi
There are multiple. Randomizer 4 handles items and transitions, Enemy Randomizer handles enemies. They're separate and enemies with geo drops can break item progression if Rando 4 is also enabled. The several other Randomizer mods that appear on the search are mostly Rando add-ons that randomize additional items not covered in the base rando (IE nail upgrades, levers, walls, etc)
Try spaming the function keys you may have changed the keybind to toggle UI
I hit the reset keybind but I think microsoft changed something cause F1 now lowers brightness
Can I be a mod pls

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).

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.

Does anyone know if the benchwarp mod work inside pantheons?
the door warp function might work, if the rooms are listed there, but I'm pretty sure warping to the benches does not work
K, thanks
question for a newbie like me: what are some interesting in development mods you guys are looking forward to?
not really super familiar with the hk modding scene so i wanna know where to look for cool stuff haha
so you want to know what mod you could develop, or what cool mod is in developpement that you could play when it is finished ?
moreso the latter but i do think itd be interesting to try doing art for a mod
im more of an artist than a programmer, which is probably the case with a lot of people
The Sanctuary is a mod that hopefully will release soon , but they already got artists doing this https://youtu.be/zyQCTiY3MEg
(!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!)
We are currently looking for more programmers to aid us in developing this expansion! If you have experience with Hollow Knight modding and programming, particularly with C# in Unity, then please contact me ...
There is a recruiting channel in the modding server, its mostly people asking for artists
i see very cool
ill see if theres any cool mods in there looking for artists yeah
been obssessed with hk for the past coupla weeks and would love to try contributing to something for a mod haha
i think Trial of Crusaders had a lot of placeholders images for different upgrades, saw someone offering to make art for it but i don't know if something actually happened
there are always people asking to create skins of basically everything they can think of without realizing how much work it is
im moreso interested in content mods, that kinda thing
more than reskins, though im sure those take a lot of work
for a modded boss (the Ancient Beast of lifeblood), idk if they have an artist (i do know they don't have a dev tho
)
i saw this once a few months ago
(thread in the modding server)
there were no news for years i think and then stizzl said "hey guys, it's Sanctuary time" and he Sanctuary'd all over the place
people are also trying to recreate the Coral gorge that used to be in silksong so any art in team cherry's style would be great for them i guess
redrawing all of Hallownest's enemies and making them infected would be a daunting task but it's still an option i guess for the new mod that infects all the game after you beat The Hollow Knight
I guess you'll get more ideas if you look in the modding server

the NonStopHallsGauntlet mod stoped...
hey so i followed the macOS modding faq for silksong but i dont know in what file do i put the installed mods, can anyone tell me? and please tell me if i did a mistake

- Hollow Point is not compatible with some other mods, such as Pale Court.
- Despite what the ReadMe says, you do not need ModCommon for it

ok so I take that my problem is more modding related
so basically theres that gramaphone in Queen's Gardens that I like but I accidentally hit it w my nail....cuz im a f##king dumb#ss
and i then learned its not something that regenerates
so atm I am trying to bring it back by editing my savefile with bloodorca's file editor but idk which of the 5 values for the gramaphone to change
so basically I have 5 gramaphones in this file that I found
2 are a random tram
2 are the RG (probably resting grounds) tram
1 is for the scene "fungus3_50"
my question is
is the fungus3_50 scene the queen's gardens scene?

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

Fixing Common issues on Linux/SteamDeck
- Controller Doesn't Work / [Some Mod] isn't working!
- By default (especially on SteamDeck) Steam may be using Proton and installed the Windows version of the game. This can have problems on it's own, but also causes issues because the Mod Installers will install the Linux version of the ModdingAPI, which isn't fully compatible with the Windows version.
- How to Fix: Go to the HK Library page, select Properties -> Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool", and select "Steam Linux Runtime" (Note: not the sniper or soldier versions)
- After this you'll need to select "Change Paths" in your Mod Installer and change it to the new install path (which you can get by using the "Browse Local Files" option in Steam, then reinstall your mods.
- If using a Playstation/Nintendo controller, see this information.
- Game crashes or has visual glitches when starting / while playing!
- Add
-force-openglto the steam launch arguments. Note: This can be a problem even if playing Vanilla, but it is commonly seen when Modding because of the greater resources used.
- Add
- Mods not saving correctly / loading correctly
- This can happen if the Permissions in your Hollow Knight install get messed up. You can fix this by making sure that the current user (or all users) have permissions for the Hollow Knight install directory and subdirectory & files. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, then you can open terminal, use
CD "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/"to get to the Steam Apps directory, and then usesudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight"to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.

- 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.

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

how do i get a hollow knight randomizer mod
i think its called randomizer 4
does anyone know if there's a mod that seperates float to a different button?
-# tried making one myself but the spaghetti was too much for me
Make float great again on the thunderstore
it still used the jump button no?
Okay true, but it does allow you to immediatly float, just with a combination of jump + a button
oh, thanks!
thommie this didn't do anything
eh it's fine
I was not the one that send that but uh yeah that makes sense it didn't do anything
Verifying the files brings it back to vanilla
But what other game data do you want to delete
Saves can just be done in game
i downloaded a save that had a few achievements i didn't have
so i want to remove those
You could try the HollowKnightAchievementManager mod for that
ok thanks
hey! sorry if this is an odd question but is there a dump of silksong assets / song files? i wanted to use one of the tracks for a celeste mod im working on and i was wondering if its possible to get in-game audio for better looping and whatnot
figured this would be the best place to ask lol
i do see there's a pinned one for hk, is there one for silksong yet? if so where could i find that?
For sprites, there’s this from the wiki’s server (organised and trustworthy) https://mega.nz/folder/nu5GjLxD#JB92f7G2YKa1ms9i6erftw
For sound files, only know of this one https://mega.nz/folder/zwEwiT7Y#9TT0XrUE2WKRNO5Kd8hi5g from some dude on Reddit , so it’s not organised

Hollow Knight and Bepinex
Mods installed from external sources from the installers (ie Nexus or similar) will not be compatible with mods that are on the installers. If you install Bepinex in your Hollow Knight install and use Lumafly/Scarab, then you will have issues, and your game may not function correctly.
You can use Steam's Verify Integrity options to remove Lumafly/Scarab mods, but you will need to follow Bepinex's instructions for uninstalling that instead.
Enemy HP Bar
btw, the recommended mod installer for hk is lumafly, it is basically scarab but with more features and less bugs
Lumafly
Lumafly (formerly known as Scarab+) is a mod installer for 1.5 based on Scarab, but updated based on community feedback to fix problems that commonly occur in Scarab, as well as adding additional features.
i mistyped
i am using lumafly
i installed a mod that gave me almost everything besides charms on accident... debugmod cant change my soul skills or nail which is all i need now 😭
is there a mod that can change my nail and change skills? i never had ddark, only dive. also never had shriek
i fixed everything else
Debug should be able to change that. Otherwise you'd need to save edit

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

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