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.

[honest dagger]

does someone know when this is going to be fixed

[neat tundra]

what will be fixed ?
if you're talking about the fact that you can't mod on the latest patch, there is no date yet

[quasi summit]

is there like a mod for a item paneal

???

[old geode]

My controller is being weird in HK since the last update, both the joysticks keep changin, the left one is usually for movement and the left for the camera, but they keep changing mid game, so are the A and B buttons. I tested the controller with Cuphead and Silksong and it was fine, is this happening to someone else?

[wooden talon]

Can I only mod on a PC or can I also mod on a console

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Resources

• Skin List by ColetteMSLP
  • ‎sᴋɪɴs ɴᴏᴛ ʏᴇᴛ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪsᴛ
• 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:

How tf do I mod

[dry snow]

which game we talking about

[primal trail]

hey just wondering if anyone has a mod in mind that could help me out. When I load the game, I seem to be stuck somewhere offscreen in the white palace. I looked around for a noclip or bench warp mod but since I am also unable to pause the game, I can’t access the mod menus.

I think a keyboard shortcut would also work if anyone knows of it

?tag palecourt

[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).

[peak fractal]

like a mod menu?

[dreamy monolith]

yo why is lumafly not working

[unique kindle]

Because of the latest version update of the game, you'll need to downpatch to use normally

yo chat cogfly's out

(the lumafly of silksong)

[neat tundra]

what do you mean by out ? like the beta has been tested and now it's ready to be released ?

[dense wigeon]

Nix did release it

[neat tundra]

ah, ye, yipee

[pure shore]

Finally, I stopped anxietying

If I forgot something or there’s a bug I didn’t fix

I can fix it in an update

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense wigeon]

(it's nice that it's out but I still don't really understand why people were so hot to get it over gale or r2modman. Other than people on mac of course)

[pure shore]

I don’t really understand either but y’know what it helps Mac users, was fun to make, and gave me more experience with swing

[tawny wadi]

what advantage does it have over thunderstore?

[pure shore]

Everything has an advantage over tmm

[tawny wadi]

specifics?

[pure shore]

Uhh gale, r2modman, and cogfly are all faster (from what I’ve heard) than tmm and have no ads

[dense wigeon]

to be clear, the mods themselves are still pulled from thunderstore. But thunderstore's mod manager is just an ad hell from what I've heard

[pure shore]

As for what Cogfly has over the other two? Not too much, it’s still fairly new

But I do plan to take suggestions

[tawny wadi]

i've been using it for months with 0 problems....

[pure shore]

Actually I desperately need suggestions I have like 3 feature ideas left

And they’re all complicated

[dense wigeon]

you arleady did my (half assed) suggestion (which wasn't even really a suggestion I just asked about steam tracking hours & you added the steam launch thingy lol)

[pure shore]

I mean iirc launching with steam open should do the same thing

This just makes sure you remember

Although according to wangha it doesn’t seem to work properly on Mac

And launches vanilla

I’ll look into it but it’s hard when I can only test 2/3 operating systems myself

[dense wigeon]

I thought with bepin you had to launch from the installer (whichever one) to launch the modded version?

(I have not modded silksong at all yet)

[pure shore]

Depends on the system

Oh wait for the installers? Yes

Although I do plan to add a “copy steam launch args” button to Cogfly

So you can copy the args to launch a specific profile

Since it is possible

[tawny wadi]

thunderstore works fast. idk how faster it can get. and the ads are not a big deal at all.

[pure shore]

Okay

Oh wait I did forget a feature

[neat tundra]

gale and R2Modman kind of feel like a lazy solutions as they're not dedicated to sk modding, so cogfly gives a more lumafly-esque feeling I guess

[dense wigeon]

Yeah, but if they work why is that a bad thing? Something being exclusive doesn't automatically make it better.

[neat tundra]

just my feelings, not facts

i haven't taken the time to mod silksong yet so with the 3 alternatives, i would choose cogfly

i actually downloaded the beta and then proceeded to not launch the game for 2 weeks

[lean steppe]

i agree
it feels like gale is something we were forced to use,by the lack of an alternitive.And cogfly is how it should be

after years of modding hk with a dedicated programm,gale feels like a temporarry solution by the lack of a dedicated launcher

[dense wigeon]

maybe I'm the odd one out, it doesn't seem odd at all when we're using an existing modding tool (bepin) to then use an existing mod installer

and if I modded more games it would be nice to just have one installer to handle everything

[lean steppe]

That would be totally reasonable
If people already used gale for modding,they should and will just keep using it for ss
But i heard about thunderstore for the first time in ss,for example
I've modded only a handfull of games in my life

[covert estuary]

On lumafly you can now install EasierGeoEconomy, which does that

[sterile eagle]

Did you make that?

[covert estuary]

(Sorry for ping) but THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was worried i had to reinstall and risk losing my save files

[dense wigeon]

No problem, also even reinstalling wouldn't touch your save files, but they're easy to back up to give yourself peace of mind

?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

@true zodiac

[true zodiac]

If other Mac users have trouble doing this, im pretty sure the link just doesn’t work for whatever reason

Going through the manual install process

They really should just put it on lumafly

[lucid thicket]

Yeah the Lumafly install links don't work on mac for whatever reason, but downloading the release and using Lumafly's manually install button should work. The creator explicitly stated that they didn't want it on the installers though

[true zodiac]

Yea that's not rly working out either

It's in the mods folder but it doesn't actually load when the game loads

[lucid thicket]

Did you get ModCommon too?

[true zodiac]

Yes

This is what the mods folder looks like right now

This is what I get when the game loads

[lean steppe]

it might be worth asking in the anyrad server if any mac users have a problem

[true zodiac]

I did I just kinda got no response

[lean steppe]

does the folder contain the dll
just in case

[lean steppe]

discord search "mac"

[lucid thicket]

You can make a post in #1057825333841240104 and include your modlog there, that might give us clues about what's going on

[true zodiac]

It actually does not 😭 , my friend gave me the zip file but when it unzipped the .dll must've just stopped existing somehow

[lean steppe]

[lucid thicket]

That explains it

[true zodiac]

Thats so goofy

How woudl that even happen

Yeah the file just doesn't have the .dll file in it

Where would I find that?

[lucid thicket]

from the github download here

[true zodiac]

Found it on GitHub haha

Wow that was really dumb

[subtle star]

is there a mod that just transforms hk into hk silksong ik it might be a dumb question but i rly don t have money for silksong lol

[lucid thicket]

No, and that would be piracy

[subtle star]

well that is fair

[dense wigeon]

Did you really expect a different answer here than what you got yesterday in the modding server?

[covert estuary]

[lean steppe]

Sholy hit 🔥 🔥 🔥

We love unity errors lol

But the speed/desire is respecteble and appreciated

[covert estuary]

I do not know what the unity errors mean so that's peakers

[lean steppe]

Lowkey unity errors are stupid
I dont remember the specifics but i was trying to add a courutine,and unity decided to die in the main menu

Like seemingly completelly unrelated

Since then i have a courutine ptsd

[covert estuary]

I'm not even adding a coroutine, why is it giving an error in it

[lean steppe]

The design process is usually like this
It works->add something->it breaks->revert and try a different approach

[covert estuary]

Well I have just copied the EasyCharm implementation and that's about it lol

[lean steppe]

Keep studying something like [[MidasTouch]] and you'll figure it out

[manic vigil]

https://hollowknight.wiki/w/MidasTouch?action=edit&redlink=1

[covert estuary]

That is exactly the one I had open yes

[lucid thicket]

I doubt those errors are from your mod, I believe I've seen those too, they might be triggered by QoL or MoreSaves or something else, they're related to the save slots UI

[covert estuary]

Should've been testing with minimal other mods (ie only SFCore and Satchel)

[lean steppe]

(Pcc development did have qol,and eventually moresaves
Maybe even at first)

[covert estuary]

Roma as my number 1 lego brick connoisseur, which ones are relevant beyond stud multiplier

[lean steppe]

Wdym

[covert estuary]

Well there are a lot more in the lego games

[lean steppe]

I was thinking about just the studs multipliers
But if you wanna add more that would be cool yes

Wtf thats cinema

[covert estuary]

Just adding stud multiplier is boring tbh iirc

[lean steppe]

Well at the very least "more hp" is a thing
We do have heart tho

Costumes..

Mini minifigures

Mega minifigures?

Swarm 2.0

[covert estuary]

(It was QoL yes)

Free swarm (as all red bricks will be free)

[lean steppe]

(I would try to enable qol after youre done)

[covert estuary]

Surely I'll make a ck skin lmao

Yeah no that's not happening

[lean steppe]

Lowkey i'll open a few lego games later and see what they got

[lean steppe]

I aint not disabling qol just for some bricks

[lean steppe]

lego city undercover has
scanners
stud multipliers,swarm
car boost
costume boosts
abillity to summon viechles without the dedicated thing
more hp
"invincibillity"
fast building
soft landing?
mini minifugures or big minifigures,dont rememeber,didnt 100% it

ok so i also checked 3 more lego games i got rn and the red bricks split into
cosmetics
studs
making character specific things easier
some general boosts

Detectors are basically vanillamapmod,costumes are ck,swarm and heart already exist
Tho maybe buffing them is cool?

Like make heart add 3 hp and make swarm multiply your geo

An abillity to call the stag from anywhere would be accurate and kinda peak

And soft falls is cool too i think

I assume the charms will cost 0 right?

[covert estuary]

Yes

[lean steppe]

Or actually just make them cost 1 notch less

Sounds pretty good

[covert estuary]

Surely that would be needed when you have the option for 3840x multiply already

Well that's all in due time, first I'll figure out how to see if a custom charm is equipped lol

[lean steppe]

I think sfcore/base game won't like that
I could be lying
But if that is the case,(i cant be bothered to use github on the phone,i dont even think im logged in) check pcc/rando/itemhandler.cs

[unique kindle]

You probably wanna check SFG's EasyCharm

[lean steppe]

There's a 0 cost module or sm there

[covert estuary]

That's what I'm doing currently

[lean steppe]

That's already being referenced ✅
Tho reading the documentation could help

Typing speed raaah

[covert estuary]

This seems to work fine

[lean steppe]

As i said i could be lying

[covert estuary]

I don't think the hollow knight economy is ready for this

[charred nymph]

well you need 69911 geo to 112% if you include unbreakable charms

or 69235 if you bother with the trouble of getting some items for less

[lean steppe]

80 rancid eggs have never been more free

[lean steppe]

Do you think you can display the current multiplication to the right of the geo counter?

[covert estuary]

Clueless

[lean steppe]

This would go incredebly hard with shamanp amp tho
And all you need is to kill ghusk

Actually grubfather is so broken omg

[covert estuary]

Any pointers for where you would start looking for this?

[lean steppe]

I can already imagine a #1057825333841240104 post
"The whole game broke because i hit the integer limit of geo"

[covert estuary]

Geo is capped at 9,999,999 iirc

Smh

[charred nymph]

what if you remove the cap

[covert estuary]

Then you'd get to -2e7 geo pretty quick

[lean steppe]

Nope
You could go to #dev-support and maybe check the geo related things in assembly-csharp

[covert estuary]

whatever the 32 bit limit is

[lean steppe]

Ah lol

[steep copper]

hey guys! I'm having some trouble using a skin from custom knight... after I inserted it into the files as the owner of the mod instructed, my game doesn't open anymore... does anyone know how to fix it, and actually using the skin?

[fathom wigeon]

Verify that you are using the correct installer and patch!

• Hollow Knight recently updated. Until the modding tools are also updated, you need to make sure you're on the previous version (1.5.78.11833), available as a beta in Steam, with an installer such as Lumafly or Scarab.
  • Pirated copies / Unofficial ports are not supported
• Modding on 1.4.3.2 using "Mod Installer" / "Mod Installer 2" is no longer supported.
• 1.2.2.1 Modding does not have an installer.
  • You can type ?tag 1221 for info on it.

How to check your Steam Beta options:

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:

Is there a mod that lets me do the path of pain immediately and as many times as I want?

[quasi tartan]

Friends, is it possible to set up a mod manager to automatically launch whenever the game is launched? Or can I only do that with a manual install?

[dry snow]

qol

[lucid thicket]

I'm not sure to understand what you're asking for, since you manage mods when the game is closed so I'm not sure why you'd want a mod manager that opens when the game also opens

[quasi tartan]

Ah sorry, I didn't word it right.
I want the game to launch with mods whenever I launch it from Steam, instead of having to open Lumafly every time.

I know this is possible with Silksong, as I did manage to set it up there
Though I don't know if the same can be said here

[pure shore]

lumafly uh

[lucid thicket]

Lumafly's launch buttons act as toggles, so opening the game from your launcher will open it in the state it was when you last launched it from Lumafly

[pure shore]

lumafly does that

[pure shore]

great code thommie

fuck

i reply pinged

wait when did thommie get modding staff

out here rejoining the hkmain staff team :3

[dry snow]

a while ago

like back when silksong came out

[quasi tartan]

Ah okay, thank you

[pure shore]

damn

[quasi tartan]

I'm trying to install the randomizer mod, but there's a ton of them, all saying they're addons to the actual randomizer
What is it called?

[pure shore]

Randomizer4

or just install any addon

and lumafly will install it for you

[quasi tartan]

Okay

As for addons, are there any you recommend?

[pure shore]

RandoPlus has some nice features

but most of them are memes tbf

Breakable wall rando, grass rando, etc

[unique kindle]

I wouldn't call them memes other than GrassRando, GeoRando and arguably YetAnotherRandoConnection

It's just more content for whenever randomizing normal, standard stuff is no longer enough

[languid folio]

lumafly is making some of my files invalid or something because every time i try to launch modded it crashes and everything is up to date and this has only started today

Announcement!

A new dedicated Silksong Mod installer, Cogfly, has just released!

Download here: https://github.com/Nix-main/Cogfly/releases/latest

• Click on the asset that matches your operating system, 🔽 see below to find out which one that is. 🔽
• This installer supports all official PC copies of Silksong, meaning that it works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS, and works properly with copies from Steam, GoG, and Xbox Games/Gamepass.
• Integrates with previous Thunderstore Modding profiles, and supports direct modding the game for people that were manually modding previously.
• Lots of new exciting releases of loved HK mods that have been ported to Silksong, including:
  • The Silksong port of HueShifter by PimpasPimpinela! Like its HK namesake, it can rotate the color palette of the game and also turn everything into rainbows. Thanks to beesnation for making the original mod for HK and for helping port it to Silksong!
  • Find it here: https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/p/PimpasPimpinela/HueShifter
  • The port of DebugMod, featuring significantly improved UI!
    • Find it here: https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/p/hk_speedrunning/DebugMod
  • The port of Benchwarp, which brings us another step closer to the day when Silksong Randomizer will exist!
    • Find it here: https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/p/homothety/Benchwarp

Cogfly Assets by File Extension:

• .msi, .exe: Windows Installer. It does not matter which one you use. After running it, you can safely delete it, Cogfly is installed. You may get a windows security warning. The file IS safe.
• .rpm: Installer for machines running Fedora/Redhat or their derivatives
• .deb: Installer for machines running debian-based operating systems (including ubuntu and all its derivatives)
• .AppImage: NOT AN INSTALLER, contains the application in a runnable state, intended for linux users not using fedora or debian-based distributions
• .dmg: Installer for mac
  • Cogfly-intel.dmg (macOS intel, amd64)
  • Cogfly-silicon.dmg (macOS silicon, aarch64)
• .jar: The raw java application, only to be used by technical users who know what they're doing. Nobody NEEDS to use this. It is primarily there for other developers.

[fathom wigeon]

How to install Non-Thunderstore Mods with R2ModMan

• Download the mod file (should be a dll)
• Use the Import option in the installer, as shown: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1446175368229949642/1446380678101864510/image.png

is the new version of lumafly out yet?

[craggy dew]

I’m using thunderstore mods I just finished downloading the pharloom glory mod I’m trying to find the white hornet mod (white cloak)

But thx either way for the help

[peak fractal]

when are mods coming back :<

also is there a mod to play is hornet in hk?

not a skin the actual hornet from silksong

[pure shore]

This is…certainly a bio

[pure shore]

When TC stops updating their 9 year old game >:(

But like even when MAPI updates, mods will need to update to

Downpatching is much easier

[pure shore]

No iirc

[peak fractal]

ofc it is

[pure shore]

Definitely a bio that exists

[peak fractal]

i don't really need it rn but yk just get it done already

[pure shore]

Lmao okay

If you want it done so soon

Do it yourself

[peak fractal]

i actually want it to work cuz im thinking in making a mod soon

didn't learn anything about it yet but just to start clean

[dense wigeon]

peak entitlement to say "just get it done already" about something you have no idea how much work it takes

[pure shore]

Did you see their bio Colette

[dense wigeon]

yeah 🤮

[pure shore]

🤢

[dense wigeon]

Unrelated modding question Nix

[peak fractal]

don't take it too seriously

[dense wigeon]

I assume Cogfly can import non-thunderstore mods like the others? is it similar enough that the r2modman tag works as an explanation or should that tag maybe get updated or something

[peak fractal]

haters

actually i don't even care

[pure shore]

Ngl I kinda forgot about that while working on it so that’ll be part of the next update

I have to adapt my mod data system to work with it a little bit

Particularly the part that recognizes installs mods

[dense wigeon]

yeah, that's a big one because I feel like cogfly is going to become the go-to pretty quickly, but there's still a ton of stuff on nexus that's not on thuderstore

[pure shore]

I think I can yoink the data like the version, the name, and the author from the attribute without invoking anything to construct a fake manifest

[pure shore]

I’m considering looking into what api options nexus has and just adding it as an available source (with a settings toggle and a warning about how nexus is generally less trustworthy and not recommended)

Seems like the best option in this case

[pure shore]

Yeah Cogfly jumped from 200 downloads to 800 within like an hour of the announcement

[pure shore]

Actually

@vagrant orbit @fleet hound

IIRC Nexus requires a user be logged in to use at all. And I thought that they were making an API but canned it or sth?

I don't really remember the specifics

Maybe it was that they were making a new Installer and canned that?

That being said, personally I would rather Nexus not be supported.

Supporting Nexus encourages people to continue to upload there, and uploading there is one of the issues

You esentially surrender your rights to things that you upload to Nexus, which is pretty

Oh yeah one more thing, I have IKG instilled but how do i activate AIKG? I couldnt figure it out

Good job discord

found it!

i feel like such a major dunce lmao

[lean steppe]

Is oke

Are you playing a custom pantheon?

[zinc void]

nope trying the boss for the first time

but around 6 months ago i did rad ikg so i was like oh no aikg? i thought that was a thing but oh well

rad modded bosses are kind of my thing

[lean steppe]

1432 bosses aren't really worth it

Most have 1.5 ports

[zinc void]

they are if you've got a long checklist pretty complete

[lean steppe]

Was there ever a list? I'll see if i can find it

List of 1432 exclusives

[zinc void]

i think brothers of battle and there is a port for tribe of battle but it has unintentionally bugs

[lean steppe]

Infninnity stones collected

[zinc void]

Well thank you, some of those actually look interesting

Also i dont see any mods that i have touched so yay

[lean steppe]

Makes sense since theyre 1432 exclusives lol

[zinc void]

A lot of the more high quality current patch mods i've done (some i purposefully ignore for now) but yeah traitor god was one i reaally wanted to do

[lean steppe]

Isnt triador god kinda lame

[split hull]

Refer to the tierlist

[zinc void]

It is but i wanted to do it so

[meager jungle]

Wtf a tier

[split hull]

Ive done a decent amount on that list

[lean steppe]

Where is trador god + tob + mantis gods on that tier list

[split hull]

Like f tier bro idk

[zinc void]

Mantis Gods - D
TOB - B

[split hull]

Traitor god actually has no impact on tribe of battle though

[zinc void]

Traitor God - A

[lean steppe]

I dont think thats true

[split hull]

I’m very certain that it’s true

I remember testing it out back in the day

At best it visually changed traitor lord in tribe of battle

[zinc void]

Counter argument its fun

[lean steppe]

Lord of shades i think is d tier

[unique kindle]

No Revek on that tierlist?

Too niche I guess

[split hull]

Is there a revek mod now

[zinc void]

Revek isnt a modded fight no?

[lean steppe]

Too new and requires a plando

[zinc void]

Is it?

[lean steppe]

And its like

Questionable from the trailer

[split hull]

I’m also missing the elder hu modded fight

I have to add it to the tiermaker eventually

[zinc void]

And galien illu

[lean steppe]

Bro if sly is c tier revek is defo d teir

[split hull]

Same with the pantheon of region fights

[lean steppe]

You did sly dirty

[split hull]

Not my fault he gets no diffed by a wall

[unique kindle]

Spicy Elder Hu is great

Probably my fave of the plando

[split hull]

Ohhhh that revek mod

[lean steppe]

Spicy rando fights on the tierlist

[split hull]

Yeah I saw the Leon video on it

And all the dream warriors

It looks

Fine

About as interesting as ahe

[lean steppe]

Yeah this is about as fair

[unique kindle]

The plando was brilliant

The fight is probably not my favourite part

[lean steppe]

Rando and godhome parts of hk don't really overlap

[unique kindle]

But all the weird Revek pogo tech to get to places was amazing

[split hull]

I will make a plando that requires claw only colo3

[unique kindle]

Just do it itemless

[zinc void]

Also Dryya is too high imo i hated the fight

[lean steppe]

Like the revek fight is sick in the context of rando,but compared to other modded bosses its really not

[split hull]

I think the only person who’s done that is te ano

[pure shore]

How dare you put my beloved orbsolute in F

[lean steppe]

Bro what did te ano not do

Wtf

[split hull]

Have you played orbsolute without tas tools

Also the version on the tierlist is orbsolute absrad version

[pure shore]

Ohhh

anyrad version is so much better

[split hull]

Anyrad orbsolute is so bad that she wasn’t even invited to the list

[zinc void]

duality of people huh

[pure shore]

Ah, of course

[lean steppe]

Is this bad takes competition

[split hull]

Like r045 and 3.0

[lean steppe]

Ah yes the things he'll be world's second in

[zinc void]

Who is te ano?

[lean steppe]

The goat

[split hull]

I think nimdac/mint has significant progress on r045 actually

[lean steppe]

Ieg is technically on the list

[zinc void]

LeonHK is my goat

[split hull]

And world’s second 3.0 clear will be Noaran

[lean steppe]

Your goat ≠ THE goat smh

[split hull]

Worlds first is me

[lean steppe]

LMAO

Im exxadurating with second obviously

But you get the idea

[split hull]

Yeah

[lean steppe]

If he wants to he'll be top 5,worst case 10

[split hull]

Te ano needs to lock in on lunec

[zinc void]

oh whats everyones fav modded boss? I think mine's either corrupted kin or mystic ze'mer

[split hull]

He cleared r1 and r2 months ago but stopped at room 3

[split hull]

Lifeblood master my beloved 🩵

[zinc void]

interesting

[lean steppe]

I don't deserve to speak as i've only done por and like 3 other bosses

[zinc void]

you can still have a preference

I havent done half that tier list that was posted

[split hull]

It’s either that or purity/doomsday samsara

[lean steppe]

I should just play samsara

[pure shore]

Bro really turned around after the te-ano cheating allegations

(Nimdac never personally accused te-ano of cheating there was just a really funny incident in TASCord)

Wait levi weren’t you there

[split hull]

No it was te ano was cotton allegations

[pure shore]

No no that was after the te-ano is cheating allegations

[lean steppe]

I love corrupted kin for how it's done

[pure shore]

Same like overall discussion

But he started with “the sound bro the sound”

[split hull]

No that was one of his minions

[zinc void]

which ones have you tried :?

[pure shore]

No the minion did the whole thing nimdac was never an actual part of it

[lean steppe]

Im starting to remember the te ano accusations

[pure shore]

From my understanding nimdac like offhandedly mentioned that the sound was a little weird and some asshole ran it all the way to “TE ANO IS COTTON”

[split hull]

Something like that

I'm just a viewer lol

[pure shore]

I’m not going back to libTAS 1.4.3

Since any modern libTAS version absolutely fucking destroys MAPI

[split hull]

I’m romas biggest hater

[lean steppe]

Its appreciated

[lean steppe]

Liar

[split hull]

Yeah you’re right

[pure shore]

Although I can probably at least use Jarlyk’s tooling back on 1.4.3 with the v1 lua

[pure shore]

Ah here we are

Right okay it started with accusing te-ano of being a TASer

And then it moved to “te-ano is cotton”

[lean steppe]

This was funny to observe

[pure shore]

It took like 4 of us to explain “it’s humanly impossible to TAS this much, this fast”

[lean steppe]

Well clearly te ano is a TEAM of tassers wdym

[unique kindle]

Te(am of T)a(S players) no(?)

[zinc void]

I'm just gonna pretend I understand this conversation from the sidelines

[lean steppe]

In short,te ano is an incredebly skilled player
Tas is tool assisted speedrun,basically nesr a perfect programmed run

And people are stupid

[zinc void]

oh they thought he was using tas instead of his actual gameplay

sound right?

[lean steppe]

https://youtu.be/62KBtMWPzi4?si=yHmxGvCcYllCKr2N

The shit bro does:

[lean steppe]

Yes

Cotton is "this famous hitless player actually cheated"

[zinc void]

OH SHIT THAT COTTON

[split hull]

I dream of being the next cotton

[pure shore]

This shit was so peak

Bro calls it the 406ms anomaly

[lean steppe]

https://youtu.be/rq2vtgodGHo?si=KJiKmwNWe2BAJyt6

This has 6 mil views holy

[pure shore]

firebad lets goooo

[zinc void]

I've watched it multiple times

It was quite entertaining

and the video that introduced me to hollow knight

[lean steppe]

LMAOOOO

[pure shore]

This is actually even funnier because

[split hull]

I need to make hkyoutuber slander video and the fireb0rn segment will be me reacting to r5ab and saying “wow this is really hard” “they use nail arts and spells” for a minute

[lean steppe]

For some reason this reminded me of "yeah you can't really do this hitless"

Unfortunatelly because you stopped trying unc is right

[split hull]

Woah woah

I just got a little sidetracked is all

[pure shore]

hkyoutuber slander video but it’s just looking at all of fire’s messages in his discord server

[lean steppe]

Why didnt i save the anything but r6 mp4

[split hull]

I know I have it

[lean steppe]

Bro thinks its a fireborn hate channel
or how was it

[unique kindle]

I should make a video with all the bs BWR has ever made me go through

[lean steppe]

Says like its all done and dusted

[lean steppe]

It will be just after soul master room fixed tho

[lean steppe]

LMAO YES FIREBORN COMPLAINT CHANNEL

[unique kindle]

It's come a pretty long way tho

[lean steppe]

This is like the first ever time i see #modding-discussion on topic
For longer than 6 messages

[pure shore]

An entire video but it’s just the first character of every badmagic message in modcord

[unique kindle]

16 minutes of Roma reports

[lean steppe]

Hey where would any of your mods be without me smh

[pure shore]

Every single #1057825333841240104, #archived-modding-help, and #hk-support/#ss-support thread, question and post, ranked by intelligence

[unique kindle]

At a worse spot than they are now, that's for sure

[lean steppe]

If this means what i think it does,this just sounds like cyberbullying

[pure shore]

Yeah not my best idea that ones mb

[split hull]

What about the sequel

[pure shore]

I’ve been talking in hkmain too long today, the elitism is getting to me

[pure shore]

[lean steppe]

I've never seen that before that's beautiful

[split hull]

It’s ancient lore

[pure shore]

How the fuck do I have 23 mutual friends with fire

[unique kindle]

I came at a time where they all are too famous to just post on discord

[pure shore]

I’ve seen blue around and talked to him a few times

But that’s about it

[unique kindle]

Same, one convo with blue on rando skips

[pure shore]

Yeah we’ve had a few dm convos

[unique kindle]

And one convo with SmallAnt on bingo

[dry snow]

im friends with blue somehow

[pure shore]

Is smant in bingy cord?

[dry snow]

idek how or why he sent me one

but he did

[pure shore]

I’m friends with blue iirc

[unique kindle]

Nah it was on SRC too

And a one time thing

[dry snow]

we've interacted like, once if you're being generous

ok a few times on twitch if that counts too

but thats it

[unique kindle]

I know most of the rando ecosystem though

Even though I never interacted with Skurry

They sure as hell did interact with my mods lmao

[pure shore]

I don’t really lol

Mostly because uh

[lean steppe]

99.3% sure i saw you in chat in videos

[pure shore]

I haven’t made or worked on anything rando related lmao

[lean steppe]

There's still more to randomize..

[split hull]

I’m friended with fireb0rn funnily enough

[pure shore]

Damn I want fire on my friends list specifically so I can ask him to change the links in his modding guide to official ones lmao

[unique kindle]

Yeah don't worrh

There's still stuff for randomization up for grabs

[pure shore]

Should ask him to accept my friend request as one of my 23 mutuals with him

[unique kindle]

Math will leave us empty handed soon though

[split hull]

I’ll pass

[lean steppe]

We still need 2 additions to access rando

We need 1

[pure shore]

I had one idea but it’s not like a real rando

[lean steppe]

Im the only person who wants the other

[pure shore]

Understandable

I’m still confused how I have 23 mutuals with fire

Why do so many people have him friended

[split hull]

I have to convince him to get someone to mod p8 together one day

[unique kindle]

Lurker gate and what's the other?

[lean steppe]

Tolls!

[unique kindle]

Ohhh tolls

I keep forgetting those

[lean steppe]

Im glad you remember that one

Lmao

[pure shore]

I’ll create p8 but it can only be played on like 1007

[split hull]

As long as the patch doesn’t have lqs

[pure shore]

There will be a 1028 release but it will only work on Thursdays between the hours of 2 pm and 4 pm UTC

[lean steppe]

This reminds me i wanted to make a mod that forces champions call to be always on
Tho it still won't be good enough

[pure shore]

Damn so nothing before 1.2 iirc

[split hull]

What

[pure shore]

Or is 1.2 lqs

[split hull]

Iirc lqs was patched out after 1006

[pure shore]

what

[split hull]

This is legacy flukenest

[lean steppe]

[[Quick Slash]]

[manic vigil]

https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Quick_Slash

[pure shore]

lqs as in 2 notch qs, no?

[split hull]

Yes

[pure shore]

2 notch was a thing until like 1.1 something

[unique kindle]

One day I will randomize RCC

[lean steppe]

Theres no update history?? Wiki sucks

[split hull]

Yeah idk actually

I just thought it was only in 1006 and before

[lean steppe]

That day is when you randomize pc so we're waiting

[pure shore]

Yeah my only rando idea was a “health rando” which would just randomize the health of everything with a min of 1/5 of its original health and a max of 5x

[lean steppe]

Surely the pc rerelease because of updates will fix dryya

And everyone will live happly ever after

[pure shore]

There was no before

[unique kindle]

Dryya the Picky lmao

You just made me realize

[pure shore]

1006 is release patch iirc

[lean steppe]

Thats just enemy rando's stripped functionallity

[pure shore]

Enemy rando if it was lazy

[unique kindle]

No point in doing interop with Shade Gates if AccessRando freaking breaks PC

[lean steppe]

Im 100% sure you realised that before already

[split hull]

Oh

Gg

[unique kindle]

You're probably right

[pure shore]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1007261358544400476/1100672160239992872/watermark.gif

[lean steppe]

I'm also 100% sure you have better things to do lol

[unique kindle]

Better or worse are relative

But the one thing I should work on is on a reasonably big GodhomeRando rewrite

And that I procrastinate quite a lot

[pure shore]

Nerthul should I make sfg’s idea in order to get verified hk dev or should I come up with something else lmao

[split hull]

It’d be funnier if it existed in literally only the release patch though

[lean steppe]

I would totally do the same lol
But yes please do it

[pure shore]

Idk I mean between my two options of “doing my homework and not having shit grades” and “make a plain text scripting language that literally not a single person will ever use”, there’s clearly a better one

[lean steppe]

Release patch had infinite charms🔥

[unique kindle]

Not sure of what SFG's idea was but

Just go for something you feel simple and enjoy

[pure shore]

“Quicker slash” basically

[lean steppe]

Can i get a priority/plan list?

• bwr fix
• ???
• ???...

[unique kindle]

Sounds tood enough

[pure shore]

But there are two levels of quicker slash

[unique kindle]

Probably Grass + BWR interop is quite high

Plus 2 math projects

One of them will give me nightmares

[pure shore]

A. Set quickslash cooldown to animation distance and allow slashing during animation (ending previous animation) to just always have a slash active

[lean steppe]

I hope you didnt forget about flower rando

[pure shore]

B. The same as A but with enemy iframes removed

[lean steppe]

Honestly with how much shit you maintain,i think a full list to go in nerthul-mods would be nice to have
Bwr update,grass logic,math collab,flower rsm,godhome rewrite,tolls,lurker gate,pc rando

-# ignoring my advice will likely result into me repeating it later.
-# like with tolls,deleting hog rando,etc.

[pure shore]

Farming stars rn damn

[unique kindle]

Casually discussing adding 137 new transitions

[lean steppe]

I didn't fully read what happened there but i dont think i like it

Im also decently sure hog scenses would conflict with pantheon ones

Or at the very least radiant with ascended

[unique kindle]

Likely viable to work around

I would be against individual pantheon boss scenes

But the HOG scenes I can see being reasonable (?)

[lean steppe]

And what happens when you die,again?

[unique kindle]

Probably go back to the previous room

[pure shore]

oh wait-

cogfly has passed 1k

[unique kindle]

But yeah, that's to be defined yet

Dream transitions have only been dealt with in Milligolf and you can't really die there

[lean steppe]

Idk this just sounds like milligolf transition rando
Which i tried once and didn't like it. It just adds infinite more backtracking to my already infinitelly backtracking room rando

But i guess this does mean hog is a hub with a bunch of transitions which is cool

[unique kindle]

Hog would become the absolutely goated hub, yeah

[dry snow]

how does the github look like

hope its been going smoothly

[pure shore]

wdym

[dry snow]

are there a lot of issues people are reporting or is it mostly smooth for the most part

[pure shore]

no like github issues just a few problems / missing features i gotta fix :(

[full pulsar]

hey can someone help me?

[pure shore]

yeah wsp

[full pulsar]

So I’m trying to figure out if there’s a mod to help me beat the game faster, cause I’ve already beaten it on my Xbox, but I don’t feel like going through the process of being again on steam just to mod it

Do you know if there are any mods like that, or no

[pure shore]

you don't have to beat the game in order to mod it

just mod it

[full pulsar]

Oh ok my friend said I should beat the game first Ty

[distant sail]

if anyone there is how to install skins

[heady belfry]

is there upd mods for the new upd of hollow knight

[distant sail]

No on lumalfly the mod loader is not working on the latest version

[heady belfry]

kk

[placid estuary]

does the neko arc custom skin not work for lumafly?

[versed jolt]

does the same thing when launching from lumafly(modded and vanilla)

fixed it

[naive basin]

Steam → right click Hollow Knight → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity.

[versed jolt]

.

[naive basin]

aight

[versed jolt]

it was the new version stuff

[naive basin]

yea i just fixed mine 30mins ago or smthin

still mods dont work for some reason

[cerulean tide]

Is there a mod for Silksong where we can fight every boss from Hollow Knight?

[pure shore]

…no.

[wide hamlet]

Is there a mod where shade soul and abysall shriek stay white

[covert estuary]

You could probably do this with custom knight, but to my knowledge it doesn't exist yet

So if you want it, you would want to make your own skin that changes just that

?tag skins

thank you!

[hard sand]

are mods compatible now with the newest version or not yet? Especially custom knight.

[zinc void]

Not yet, porting mods over takes a good amount of time

[full pulsar]

Is custom skins on lumfly?

[lean steppe]

The problem is not with the mods themselves,but with the mapi

[dry snow]

Like a way to change your character?

Yeah, it’s custom knight

[hard sand]

Alr thx for answering

[full pulsar]

Ye like the fire burn skin

[tough trench]

can i mod on playstation?

[full pulsar]

I don’t think so

you need a pc that’s all I know

[lunar root]

Yeah, modding is only supported on official pc copies

[tough trench]

cant i just jailbreak iit

[full pulsar]

No I don’t think it works that way

[lunar root]

No sorry there simply isnt a modding api or support for that

[fierce zinc]

i installed lumafly and i did mods but now my hk wont open what do i do?

[dry snow]

Are you on the correct patch

[fierce zinc]

what

i deleted lumafly

and hk still ont open

[dry snow]

Why would you delete lumafly

[fierce zinc]

because

i thought i got hacked

and now

my hk ont open

[unique kindle]

You weren't hacked

You likely tried to open it without downpatching (recent issue)

[bronze grail]

so y wont lumafly work for me?

[unique kindle]

And deleted Lumafly without disabling the Modding API

[fierce zinc]

oh

[bronze grail]

it wont load the moded game

[fierce zinc]

im not on steam so how do i downpatch

[unique kindle]

Not sure on how Gamepass handles downpatching

[fierce zinc]

ok

i turned off all the mods

still wont work

i 100% got hacked

[unique kindle]

Not by Lumafly

That's for sure

[fierce zinc]

dude

i turned all mods off

Not sure on how GamePass has that

But an option of this sort might help in that case

[fierce zinc]

DUDE

I CANT

HOLLOW KNIGHT WONT OPEN

IT SAYS

LAUNCHING GAME

THEN GOES TO (1s)

AND CLOSES

[unique kindle]

In that case, I'd say to open a modding help post

[fierce zinc]

what post will help

there are none

[unique kindle]

Idk, some people might know other options I don't regarding GamePass install verification

[fierce zinc]

I DONT EVEN WANT MODS ANYMORE

[unique kindle]

I know

[fierce zinc]

I JUST WNT TO PLAY HOLLOW KNIGHT

[unique kindle]

Which is what support channels exist for

[fierce zinc]

a good fucking 15$ for shit

[unique kindle]

You know you can reinstall it in the worst case scenario right?

so then i lose my save file

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

-# Note: this is for a PC. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

⚠️ **Until the Modding API is updated, the Feb 5th 2026 update of HK broke modding on Xbox Games versions **⚠️

• Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version)
  • 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.

[unique kindle]

You can check that for GamePass

Check the two tags I shared and they'll have what you require to safely keep your save file

[willow cipher]

i need help with things guys. so, which one is better scarab or lumafly? and, as you know, the game updated and you cant put mods in the new versions. i want to put mods in new versions, what do i have to do? i want help to update the mods or smth

[unique kindle]

You can't put mods in the latest version, that's the issue that's been worked on at the moment

[unique kindle]

As for the better installer, Lumafly has more features and has less issues dealing with mod updates

[wooden plover]

im trying to load Hollow knight again but it does not even start even when I turned all my mods off. Does someone know why

[red plinth]

Turning off mods doesnt remove the modding api.
Verify game integrity to remove the api or use launch vanilla from lumafly to remove the api.

[wooden plover]

Even when I turn off the Api it still does not load also I use scarab and not lumafly

[dense wigeon]

If you use scarab it probably failed to properly remove the api. Verify instead

?tag verify

I got this as a result

[dense wigeon]

That's expected

[wooden plover]

It launces vanila now. Should I try to turn on my mods again

[dense wigeon]

If you want to mod you'll need to downpatch

?tag steambetas

[fathom wigeon]

Verify that you are using the correct installer and patch!

• Hollow Knight recently updated. Until the modding tools are also updated, you need to make sure you're on the previous version (1.5.78.11833), available as a beta in Steam, with an installer such as Lumafly or Scarab.
  • Pirated copies / Unofficial ports are not supported
• Modding on 1.4.3.2 using "Mod Installer" / "Mod Installer 2" is no longer supported.
• 1.2.2.1 Modding does not have an installer.
  • You can type ?tag 1221 for info on it.

How to check your Steam Beta options:

[wooden plover]

and from 2021 I asume

[dense wigeon]

What?

[wooden plover]

the versions are 2021 or this febuari

[neat tundra]

as the tag says, it is the 1.5.78.11833 version, which has been added as a beta on February 6, 2026

[dense wigeon]

Use the one that's marked in red. And read the bot message, as it clearly states 1432 is no longer supported

[wooden plover]

It works now and does launch

But now when I try to load with mods it does not show my save files nor let me load them

[dense wigeon]

Verify again, then you may also need to reset your global settings. If that doesn't resolve it, make a #1057825333841240104 post

I reset the mod installers and it works completely now thank you

[willow cipher]

im REALLY sorry for not answering but i wasnt at home. so i guess i will uninstall scarab, and install lumafly

i hope they update mods real quick

[vagrant orbit]

Ngl, I wouldn't expect the update soon anymore. It seems silly to update the modding api when TC just announced another HK Patch

[unique kindle]

Oh they did? Lmao

Why all the sudden HK patching

[vagrant orbit]

The original reason was to bring some of the beneficial updates from Silksong into HK (ie a lot of casual players prefer the game to pause when the menu is open; and there were a lot of Controller-related improvements in Silksong over HK).

The recent one seems to be to fix some bugs introduced in that patch, and to further fix some other things.
