[fickle umbra]

why radient on steel soul mode

[wind sail]

Watch it. It’s pretty damn good.

[wind sail]

I dunno.

[kind drum]

steel soul dosnt matter in godhome

[fickle umbra]

the wave of infection is a neat idea though

[fickle umbra]

oh

[wind sail]

I would love to fight something like that.

In the base game.

Like you beat the Broken Vessel, you beat the lost kin, both on radiant, and you get to fight THIS thing.

[fickle umbra]

too bad the games already finnished though man

[wind sail]

The music is fire though.

[fickle umbra]

yea

[kind drum]

that thing is
definitely a challenge

[wind sail]

Yeah, yeah it is.

[wind sail]

It looks incredibly fun though.

[gilded sorrel]

Hey so guys

I have a Nintendo switch lite

what would yall say would be like

the best mod chip to buy

[viral adder]

hk fix this plssssss for some reason i cant use shade soul and whoever made pale court and cant for some reason start the mysterious zemer fight whyyyyyyyy

[fathom wigeon]

Starting Pale Court

• Install it using Lumafly
• You must have ||All dreamers||
• You must have ||defeated a specific boss:|| ||White Defender||
• You must then find the location that connects each Knight to the world. You can watch the Launch Trailer if you want directions where to go.

Known problems with Pale Court

• HKTool and WeaverCore are not compatible with Pale Court (or each other)
• AdditionalMaps, Extra MenuBackgrounds, EssenceAlways (and any mod that attempts to force Essence drops) aren't compatible, and will prevent you from being able to enter fights.
• Using a BenchWarp Deployed Bench in new areas will break the file
  • If you accidentally do this, then close the game, disable Benchwarp, then open the file again. Get off the bench you spawn at, and sit down again. Then save+quit, and you should be able to enable Benchwarp again.
  • Alternatively, you can open your user#.modded.json for that file, and edit "atDeployedBench": true, -> "atDeployedBench": false, . You can type ?tag savefaq for more information.
• HK Vocalized may prevent you from accessing fights
  • (This appears to not be consistently reproducible, but if you can't enter fights, then try disabling it)
• Skill Upgrades will prevent Charms from working correctly
• Hollow Point will not work if Pale Court is installed
• Any mod that adds new Charms may prevent Charms from working.

If you're having other issues, then please read #1090079233520451714 and create a #1057825333841240104 post with the requested info and any details. Be aware that Pale Court was not designed to be compatible with other mods, and you will usually need to choose between using either Pale Court or the other mod(s).

[dense wigeon]

I'd suggest asking in a switch server. Not many people here can help you since HK mods are not available for consoles.

[lusty hearth]

question does anyone here knows how to make silksong mod?

because if yes. here you have an idea #hk-meme message

[west badger]

Can somebody make a pure vessel mod where the knight actually ends up becoming the hollow knight and actually succeeds in containing the radiance, but the pure vessel tries to replace the knight anyway even tho the kingdom is saved, so the pure vessel has to go through an alive non infected hollownest to kill the 3 dreamers and replace the knight, and when the pure vessel replaces the knight, make it so that he just fails eventually after 5-6 years, so that everything that pure vessel did is quite literally just out of ego and jealousy and not to save the kingdom (that's already saved)

[magic river]

any idea on how to play hollow knight as hornet

with the moveset aswell that'd be good

[fathom wigeon]

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.

• Website | Download

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.

hello i am new to moding hollow knight and i was wondering if the pale cort mod and transendesnse combine or if i cant youse bothe at once

[vagrant orbit]

• What language is your system in?
  • if it's not English, you may need to change it to English
• Did you install it using an installer?
  • if not, you are probably missing dependencies

[vagrant orbit]

Afaik they don't work super well together

[karmic plover]

rip then wath should i play first?

[inland jewel]

Ohh really? My game was german, is that the reason nothing changed?

[karmic plover]

i saw a mod that added pale cort charms to trancsendens so should i play pale cort first?

[vagrant orbit]

If you want to play against the bosses, you should use Pale Court. If you only want the charms and not the bosses, then use Pale Court Charms

[karmic plover]

okay tanks

[molten maple]

thx

Does using a mod for custom skins remove the ability to get steam 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.

[violet jasper]

how close are we to getting hornet playable in hallownest in some form?

like they dun put the knight into silksong really fast

[wind sail]

How about making an area where you can get to pharloom as the knight from hallownest?

Because I’m still brainstorming that.

[inland jewel]

Did it work?

[molten maple]

nope

but i think i know why

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.

[urban gulch]

yeah but I dont know how that hapenned, and If I could use an installer, is there any guide or something

[dense wigeon]

Ping isn't needed thanks. I'm not sure what you mean "don't know how that happened" apparently they're missing because you failed to download them. There's a guide with installers linked pinned both here and in #1057825333841240104 where you can make a post if you need more support troubleshooting

[lyric sparrow]

Sorry didnt read the pins. Thank you very much tho

[lunar root]

[rotund raft]

[cobalt vine]

i have a question does anyone know how to fix this?

[fathom wigeon]

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.

DebugMod or save editing your max health should do it

?tag saveedit

[fathom wigeon]

Editing save files

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

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

[burnt cipher]

I found an old video from Fireb0rn, where he plays a mod called VocalKnight, which basically adds voice commands like what DougDoug used to do.

Fireb0rn said the mod was in beta 3 years ago, now I'm trying to look for the mod in Lumafly, and it isn't there. Is the mod still in beta? If not, is it on Github, and how can I download it?

Thanks!

[vagrant orbit]

The mod was never "properly" released, no

This is the mod:
https://github.com/Makeit-Hardcore/HK-VocalKnight/releases

I have no idea if it actually still functions at all though

@ocean frost does have a note about asking to be asked about it

does anyone have any mods that can shape shift into an enemy such as pure vessel or have a mod that has the skills of an enemy

[burnt cipher]

Yeah, my game crashes when Pure Vessel spawns, so that's nice

[blissful granite]

does modding you game affect your save files? i mean like, i wanna mod my game but i have like 16 hours in my save file, will modding my game affect that save file?(if i dont touch it with a mod active)

[white thorn]

It depends on the mod, generally they shouldn’t cause problems if you don’t open the save but you can’t guarantee that

You should back up your saves whenever you mod the game

[blissful granite]

@white thorn im mainly going to do maybe a skin mod and a randomizer mode will that affect it?

[white thorn]

Like I said, shouldn't cause problems if you don't open your save, but it's good to back up your saves just in case

[mental comet]

Ask your question anyway, people who don't use it might know, people who use it might not

will it affect my saved files?

In theory no because it specifically prevents your game from saving when it's installed, but it never hurts to make a backup of your saves

random screenshots of weird maps when my mod was kinda…broken

[dry raven]

so i got lumafly and am doing mods now, but can i still play normally and get achievements on a different save?

[opaque ledge]

Uh

I have the urge to scream Shaw at the top of my lungs

No questions

[regal nova]

Mods don't disable achievements on steam do they? I can't think of a reason why they would.

[dry raven]

what about gog

youd be able to get all the achievements with the help of mods

[regal nova]

I'm uninformed about GOG sadly, but I've never encountered a situation where third party mods disable achievements. Only time mods disabled achivements for me was for in-game supported mods or the steam workshop.

If you really wanted you could even install cheats and get all achievements that way. I accidently did that on my friends computer by transferring my save file to his and he ended up getting almost every achievement.

[dry raven]

huh

[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.

Hey, I've been enjoying the hk Pantheon Architect mod a lot! was wondering if the creators are around, there is an issue after abs rad fights

[lean steppe]

I have not seen them in my entire life,but it could be @ ultranumbz
Imo you should open a github issue(and pray they check those)

Also if you dont mind to explain,what does that mod do

[viral chasm]

hi

[tawny wadi]

The mod lets you create your own custom lineup of bosses. Ur own pantheon. It even has a website that generates a code for that custom pantheon so you can share it. Pretty cool

[lean steppe]

Uh huh

There is already a "custom pantheon" mod tho

And it works well with absrad

[tawny wadi]

yeah but it requires you to change a file every time, this one is more comfy and easier to share custom pantheons or change them while playing.

[thorn glade]

hi i was considering modding hk for the first time cause i saw the multiplayer mod. i was curious, does it work similar to the seamless co-op mod for elden ring?

that mod makes it so that depending on how many people are in your party, a percentage of a bosses health bar goes up

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.

[fathom wigeon]

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.

[vagrant orbit]

^ make sure that's all true

Creating Additional Game Installs
🔹 1. Create a folder anywhere you like and name it something that indicates what that install if for. (Example: Hollow Knight Modded)

🔹 2. Select all of the contents of your "Hollow Knight" folder (this is the folder that contains hollow_knight.exe), then Copy them, then Paste them into the folder that you created in step 1.

🔹 3. Create a new text document in your new install folder titled steam_appid and in that document copy only the number 367520.
*Note: You should use something simple such as Notepad to create this. If you have file name extensions showing, the name of document should be steam_appid.txt, if you don't you should only see steam_appid.*

Alternatively, you can download a pre-made copy of the file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/1059931408216358932/steam_appid.txt

🔹 4. Optional: Add this install to Steam as a "Non-Steam Game" so that you can launch it directly through Steam whenever you want.

HK update

Until the Modding API updates, you should make a separate install of the current modding patch (1.5.78).

[vagrant orbit]

-# Hopefully someone else pins more info later, because I'm at work for many more hours today

[quartz dagger]

Is there a way I can revert the upd so I can use mods again? Suddenly can't boot the game via Lumafly and I'm guessing it's cuz of the update

[vagrant orbit]

You either need to downpatch, or wait a day or two for the API to update

[late lodge]

Hollow Knight got an update!

Because of this update, all mods will most likely not work.
This is because the Modding API has not yet been updated for the new version.

Can I still play with mods?

You can still play with mods if you do not update the game.
Most platforms do not make this easy, however.
On Steam, disabling auto-update and starting Steam in offline mode will allow you to play without the update.
If you have already downloaded the update, you cannot (easily) go back, and you should wait for the Modding API for this version.

When will the Modding API be updated?

The simple answer is that we can't really give a time frame.
A new version is being developed, but there is currently no guarantee that mods won't need to be updated (which will require mod developers to release a new version).

-# This post may be updated with new information as it becomes available.
-# Keep an eye out for updates!

[quartz dagger]

How do you downpatch? (I literally started getting mods yesterday)

[uncut citrus]

hi so i tried using ljmafly aftis everyone having the same problem after using lumafly

is evryone having the same issue with lumafly

it keeps crashing when i load the game

[quartz dagger]

yes. A new patch was literally just released

[dry snow]

Check pins guys

[uncut citrus]

I fixed it

just needed to hit verify game files

[unique kindle]

Sad day indeed

[crude veldt]

Im just about to finish making a hollow knight video, why does this have to happen RIGHT NOW

Does anyone know what the most recent patch was called?

[left veldt]

anyone know the last patch id or where to find it for downpatch on steam

[unique kindle]

Also why is 1.5.12 somehow more new than 1.5.78

[lucid thicket]

cuz it's not 12 but 12459 lol

[left veldt]

❤️

[night crater]

Do people use Scarab over Lumafly these days? Looks like Scarab is more actively maintained?

[left veldt]

i use scarab but ive never used the other

[tawny wadi]

i used scarab in the past. i use lumafly now

I had switched to Lumafly back when it was the new hotness, and stuck with it because it has loadout/presets

Is there any way to get mods on Xbox? Don't have the luxury of a computer at the moment, but the ol box works still.

[lean steppe]

Unfortunatelly no

[atomic sandal]

Well that's fun

I wonder if I can hobble something together to work

[dense wigeon]

There's no modding api for console, so you'd need a way to run a pc os on it.

[terse garden]

do mods have to manually be updated by their devs to support the latest patch, or will they work automatically once lumafly is updated

[tardy pelican]

i tried this and it gave me the current patch : (

thanks still though, ill just wait until updated lmao

[lucid thicket]

make sure to name the txt file steam_appid.txt

[lucid thicket]

The answer isn't known yet, most mods will probably automatically work but both options are still possible

[crude veldt]

thank you kindly

crazy the timing on this

[lean steppe]

Check #1057825333841240104
And create a tag imo

[crude veldt]

legit 2 clips away from finishing a video

Like "tag hkupdate
If you already updated..

Etc."

yeah still not wanting to work, idk why, it seems like the thing im downloading isnt the right one?

I can't rn but I should be able to in a few hours if someone else hasn't made it yet

[daring surge]

||all of my mods arent working even though they are downloaded and hollow knight just updated||

[dense wigeon]

Mods dont work with the update yet

[daring surge]

what does that mean

[tardy pelican]

new update, modding software isn't compatible with it, is being worked on

[dense wigeon]

That means you can't use them unless you downpatch

[daring surge]

how long do i have to wait

is it happening to anyone else

[tardy pelican]

everyone yeah

[dense wigeon]

-# Everyone who didn't preemptively make a backup*

[tardy pelican]

-# that yeah

the fix the modding server gave doesn't work for me so i have to wait : (

i wonder if its because my game is in french

or if thats completely unrelated and just a coincidence

[lean steppe]

Modders just hate french so true

[tardy pelican]

doesnt everyone?

[lean steppe]

Potentially based

[low cloak]

Is Scarab preferred?

[unique kindle]

None will work at the moment

[low cloak]

I'm doing the downpatch thingie

Should it be looking like that?

I have posted in modding-help

[tardy pelican]

i think so yeah, it's a game you've put yourself in steam so it makes sense that it doesn't have an interface

[low cloak]

So, is there some way to like hard refresh the version lumafly uses?

Do I need to uninstall my main version of Hollow Knight?

[tardy pelican]

oh god this might be because your thing is in french

it does it to me too, i don't know if it's because it's in french but i can't have it work

it worked for others apparently?

[low cloak]

It seems to be a common factor

[tardy pelican]

but i dont think their thing is in french, and- yeah

[low cloak]

Curiously if I launch that version it does put the modding_api in the top left, and I see mods in the options

Oh, I think I see

So, the launch button will not work, but you can install the mods and it will work if you go by that version?

Yep it works

@tardy pelican so the launch buttons wont work, but if you open the game directly it will

[tardy pelican]

huh, why not

let's try this

[vagrant orbit]

The Launch Modded button should make the game modded, but will probably launch the incorrect copy of the game

Because it tells steam to launch it, and steam doesn't know to pick the second install

[low cloak]

Hmm, given that we can specify a game executable, wouldn't it make sense that it doesn't go through steam?

[tardy pelican]

i dont think i can launch directly from the API, since i use scarab

[low cloak]

Can you launch the executable?

[tardy pelican]

ok im very untechy, what does this mean?

[low cloak]

double click the exe that should be in the folder

[tardy pelican]

can do

it launches the wrong patch

[low cloak]

You specified the version in this?

And did you subsequently add a text file named steam_appid with 367520

[tardy pelican]

i followed these instructions, and have this now

the txt file has the number in it yeah

[low cloak]

If you launch this one it launches the other version?

[tardy pelican]

it launches the new patch yeah

i could try to redownload everything

[low cloak]

In doubt yeah

It's possible steam got confused and updated it

[tardy pelican]

let's try this once more

damn it worked

i didnt expect the reinstall to fix anything but nice

thanks a lot @low cloak ! You're awesome

ah slight downside, it unrandomized my rando, oh well

[austere helm]

Anyone know how to roll back the update to play modded again? I don’t see the old version under the list of versions on steam

[lean steppe]

Check pins here

[austere helm]

Okay so just wait? Gotcha

[twilit owl]

So my friend just ran into the problem obv mods not working on new patch but she cant even open the game vanilla

Trying to run thru steam wont work and clicking run vanilla in lumafly wont launch it either

Not trying to downpatch or anything

[low cloak]

I'm not familiar with the codebase, but is there a place where the work is being discussed to make the API work? Figured that one more hand might help?

does anyone know what happened here?

Hollow Knight got an update!

Until the Modding API is updated for the new patch, modding will not be compatible on it.

Can I still play with mods?

You can still play with mods if you are on the previous patch (1.5.78).
Most platforms do not make this easy, however.
On Steam and GoG Galaxy, you should be able to easily go back to the previous patch by right-clicking on the game, and going to Manage Game / Game Properties.

• For Steam, you will need to go to Betas, and select the "Previous Patch 1.5.78" option.
• For GoG Galaxy, there should be a selection of previous patches in the game properties.

When will the Modding API be updated?

The simple answer is that we can't really give a time frame.
A new version is being developed, but there is currently no guarantee that mods won't need to be updated (which will require mod developers to release a new version).

Hey with the hollow knight update I had mods and stuff and the game launched unmodded at first so I tried to at least add the more saves mod I used and it crashed I then tried to take all the mods off and it isnt launching even with all of them set to off

[lunar root]

please refer to the message above yours

[terse roost]

Ok thank you

I tried downgrading to the previous patch and the mods aren't loading and its glitchy still

[vagrant orbit]

• After changing your patch back to 1.5.78, you may need to use Verify Integrity.
• Then launch modded with Lumafly again.
• If you're having issues on you Main Menu after that, then you will need to remove your Mod settings files, as they would have corrupted from launching on the wrong version
  • Windows .bat file to automatically remove them: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/1039420689624612884/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
  • To manually do it, go to your Save Files folder (There's a 📁 icon on the side of Lumafly to take you there), and then delete every file the globalsettings.json in it. Be careful to not accidentally delete your Save Files which are the user#.dat files in the same folder.

because my game is pre 1.5

is there a reason why you cant update or just preference

because modding before that version isnt really supported anymore

well modding in general doesnt work in the latest updates so

the game doesnt opens at all

when i try to open it with mods

[lunar root]

then follow these instructions

[gloomy quartz]

Is there like a skong customknight-equivalent?

You either need to not use mods or run the older version then, until the mods are up to date

Quick question, can I mod cracked/pirated hollow knight
I can't buy the steam version bcs I don't have resources for that, but at the same time the base game is too hard for me and I would like mods to help with that

[fathom wigeon]

**If your game is cracked / pirated **

• Piracy is not supported in most communities for games (including this one), and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main community servers for them.
• Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games. (Console versions, and unofficial versions are not supported)
• If you do not have a supported version, then please get one and then you will get support with modding the game. Asking for assistance with unsupported versions may result in moderation action.
• Hollow Knight & Silksong go on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when they are:
  • https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/
  • https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollow-knight-silksong/

[fierce flame]

you won't get help with modding but you can go to #hk-help for game help

[ember summit]

Yeah fair enough... Sorry

[peak fractal]

who loves french

[peak fractal]

turned out the mod had an audio logger that shows the names of audios played

[hard sand]

If mods aren't working yet due to the new update, can i just disable the mods (my only mod is the custom knight mod) and the game will launch finely? Or do i have to delete Lumafly too for the time being?

[red plinth]

If youre on steam, you can switch to the recently added beta patch until the modding api updates. Otherwise you need to disable to modding api to launch the game regularly.

Verifying game integrity then trying to download mods again might do something

So i downpatched to the patch before the update and tried to start hollow knight through lumafly and it just gives me this

Unable to launch the game

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.

[lucid thicket]

Make sure you've checked all of these ^ And if that still doesn't work make a post in #1057825333841240104 after reading #1090079233520451714

[faint trout]

i have the same issue with this guy help

[lucid thicket]

...So read the answers?

[faint trout]

like i got everything right and that thing appears when i try with scarab too

[lucid thicket]

If you still get the same error message then you probably didn't read the answers because that error means you're on the wrong patch, and the answers tell them to downpatch

[faint trout]

to be honest i dont excatly know how the downpatch things work english is my second language ima just use translate for that still thanks tho

if i want to go back to older versions of hollow knight to install pale court, and pale court updates to a newer version and i want to go back to the new version again, do i lose everything?

cuz idk what to do

[neat tundra]

i don't think you would lose anything because the format of how the mod keeps track of what you got should stay the same

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

[nimble stag]

[cunning wren]

is there a silksong item randomizer?

[willow cipher]

js asking, why do i need to veryfi integrity of files?

ive already revert to version 1.5 but i didnt verified the files thing

[nimble stag]

the game will still crash if you don't (at least on my end) and I just found a guide somewhere on this server that I should verify so I did

[willow cipher]

k

ill try without verifying first

lets see what happens

probably crash but ok

[nimble stag]

make sure to back your saves just in case

[willow cipher]

downloading pale court rn

[willow cipher]

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

• Lumafly (Win/Mac/Linux) recommended installer
• 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)
• r2modman (Win/Linux)

If you run into any issue, then read the FAQ in #1057825333841240104 and create a post there if needed.

[chilly grove]

What is this Cogfly mod manager? Is it supposed to be like Lumafly?

[chilly grove]

But is it good? I don't even see it mentioned here, so maybe I should stick to r2modman for now?

Once lumafly came out it just became the main option for modding HK

[chilly grove]

but Cogfly doesn't even have its name here

[dense wigeon]

that's because it's relatively new & still considered in beta testing. (I'm not sure how you found it at all without seeing this info)

[chilly grove]

If I remember correctly it was on reddit, I might have forgotten these details if they were written there, but I just wanted to know if it was something worth keeping an eye on or if it was just a random project by a random person and wouldn't really get very far and had no connection to the modding community, thank you for clarifying things, now I know it is worth keeping an eye on

[dense wigeon]

Interesting that it's made its way to reddit before it's even cosndiered fully release

[covert estuary]

I included it in the pinned post on r/HollowKnight as a good alternative for especially mac

[chilly grove]

I'm pretty sure the post I found it from was a person announcing it as their new project or something like that, a very random and individual post, not from the pinned post on r/HollowKnight but I can't find it anymore, maybe it was deleted

[covert estuary]

Are you sure you are not confusing it with needlelight? That was an individual post which was indeed deleted (by themselves)

-# Needlelight is not recommended to use as it provides no benefit for hk over lumafly and does not provide silksong support

Or Nix made a reddit post which I missed, but it would be strange for them to delete it

[willow lantern]

https://youtu.be/QMiWbu0il6w

This video shows how to create x2 geo mod for bepInEx but I don't know if I can do the same for scarab.

[lunar root]

Well bepinex isnt recommended for hk and it will break your game when downloaded alongside lumafly, there might not be a 2x geo mod but debug mod lets you give yourself geo

[covert estuary]

I'll look into making one, I've wanted to get into actually making a mod for hk instead of just telling people to read the pins

And this sounds decent for a first mod

[lunar root]

Thommie can you make pale court 2

[covert estuary]

First I have to ask all sorts of questions about how to make a mod which are explained in the pins, but I don't read them myself either

[versed jolt]

is there a mod for silksong which adds something godhomy, like specifically god of hallsy? like where i can refight bosses. also does sk have smthing like lumafly or scarab?

[sterile eagle]

Yeah I tried using both, it just games breaks. Is modding with bepInEx same as using scarab/lumify?
Can I use the same classes as shown in that video or do I have to use the ones provided in modding api thing

Btw does anyone have a bunch of custom knight skins that I can download at once?
