[marsh verge]

hey i was wondering how i can use custom knight all the videos I'm seeing aren't very helpful

[dense wigeon]

Not sure which videos you've watched but the pinned tutorial should works long as you downpatch

[marsh verge]

thank you

[dense wigeon]

Not as tragic as fixing floating/drifting mawlurks

[neat tundra]

timeloss for speedrun + funny things removed, man that's sad

[lean steppe]

i'll take it with the absrad orb fix

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

• 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

[tight bobcat]

.

[molten cape]

Can anyone help with lumafly

[worldly grove]

Are there any like slightly harder pure vessel modded bosses

[lucid thicket]

with QoL

[lucid thicket]

If you don't ask your question nobody will be able to help

[lucid thicket]

I personally haven't played any modded pure vessel, but most Pale Court bosses are around the same level of difficulty

[lean steppe]

idk about slightly harder but pale prince is good

pale shadow is probably even harder than that

[molten cape]

How do I fix lumafly

[unique kindle]

Slightly is the problematic word

But yeah, Pale Court bosses fit that

[lucid thicket]

you'll need to describe your issue a bit more if you want people to be able to help you

[hollow spade]

lumafly isnt working in current patch

[lean steppe]

not exactly
"slightly harder pv bosses" is like pv bosses that are slightly harder than pv

not just any boss thats harder than pv

oh actually

?tag error

[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.

Anyone here have any advice in regards to modding? I have a cool idea for a modded boss battle, but also have zero modding knowledge whatsoever, so I was thinking of seeing if there's anyone here who knows how to mod. Mind you it's not something i'm trying to do right away since I'm busy, but it's definitely something I want to work on in the future and maybe work with someone to do it.

QoL has a module for it iirc, but it for some reason wasn't working correctly for me last time I played (despite working fine the first time- so it may have been a mod incompatibility)

[nimble wadi]

I'll give it a try along with the Kasane Teto mod cause I need that.

Hollow Knight

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.

• Cogfly (Win/Mac/Linux) Dedicated Silksong installer that integrates with Thunderstore modding profiles.
  It is also possible to use well-known Thunderstore installers:
• Gale (Win/Linux)
• r2modman (Win/Linux)

  • 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.

[scarlet steeple]

i did what they said and i can open my hk now

bruh

my hollow knight dont work

🙁

[stiff panther]

whats the other installer that isnt lumafly? Since my lumafly doesnt want to load the mods into my hollow knight game

[sweet bay]

just gave me that annoying unity glitch

[zinc void]

scarab

[stiff panther]

and how do i launch the modded game after installing scarab and uploading the mods?

[zinc void]

with whatever launcher you use for the game?

lumafly should have a "run modded game" option though

[stiff panther]

whenever i do launch the game, it doesnt have the mods loaded in

[scarlet steeple]

idk how to mod this shit

bruh

guys when i try to do custom knight, it doesnt show me the skins file, why is that

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.

how to downpatch hk?

[dense wigeon]

Then you should probably follow the troubleshooting instructions

[dense wigeon]

?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.

Hello does anyone know what my Modlog.txt is and where i can find it?

[fathom wigeon]

ModLog

"ModLog.txt" can be found in the same folder as your save files (you can drag and drop the file into discord)

• Open Modlog with Lumafly (you should be able to copy and paste it into Discord)
• Windows: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
• Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/
  Note: some mod installers such as Lumafly have an Open saves folder button which allows you to find the ModLog easily. Otherwise, follow the steps below:

To get the ModLog on Windows:

1. Press ⊞ + R

• Note: ⊞ is the Windows button, in between Ctrl and Alt on your keyboard

2. Copy and paste this into it %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and hit "OK".
3. ModLog.txt is in this folder.

To get the ModLog on MacOS:

1. From the Finder, click "Go" in the menu at the top of the screen and select "Go to folder".
2. Copy and paste this into it ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/ and press enter.
3. ModLog.txt is in this folder.

[fathom wigeon]

Windows won't let me open the Mod Installer

• If there's a Pop Up that says "Windows Protected your PC", then click "More Info" (on the left), and then a "Run Anyway" button will appear to click.
  • This happens because Windows automatically blocks apps that don't pay Microsoft and go through the process to have their app Verified by Windows.

Apple could not verify that Installer is free of malware

Type ?tag macos into chat for more info.

Installer vanishes after downloading / loads a blank screen

This is commonly because one or more issues:

• The installer was left in a .zip or in the Download folder. (It's recommended to put it on your Desktop or on the same Harddrive as your game installation)
• The installer may need to be run as Administrator (Right-Click it, and select "Run as Administrator")
• The installer is being blocked / removed by built-in security software, such as Windows Defender
• The installer is being blocked / removed by third-party security software (Avast / Norton / MacAfee / etc)
  • If you are not sure how to create Exceptions in your Security software for programs, then you can see this guide or you may need to google how to do it for the software that you use.

hi, I downpatched the game to 1.5.78.11833 and i use lumafly, but now when i launch the game i get this, when i revert to vanilla it work but I don't really understand where the problem come from
i uninstaled all mods and reinstaled only randomizer 4 and the mods that goes with it but still same issue
any ideas?

[edgy osprey]

any one got updated Mod Guide ?

as i can't find the custom skin foloder

[neat tundra]

i fixed it by verifying game files integrity and reinstalling lumafly, i heard some people say that it could be fixed by disabling and reenabling the modding API in lumafly, and you can also try to reset your GlobalSettings

it's ok to tag me

[neat tundra]

second one

[fallow plinth]

ho i see

i'll try it now

[neat tundra]

you need to have customknight enabled, the folder will automatically be generated when you launch the game once

[edgy osprey]

k i amm try to find it

[neat tundra]

the folder? the mod?

[edgy osprey]

mod

but which one to do

like there are 3

[neat tundra]

second one

you don't need the other ones

[edgy osprey]

k

i amm lunch the game

[fallow plinth]

still don't work 🙁

[neat tundra]

what method did you try ?

[fallow plinth]

I verified the integrity of the game files and launched lumafly again and reinstaled the mods

[neat tundra]

then try resetting the GlobalSettings i guess

[stiff panther]

i want to ask if theres a way to change my hollow knight server ip without it automatically changing to 127.0.0.1?
because im trying to host a server for me and my friends, however each time they use that server ip and the server port, they constantly get "connection timed out" even though we are using zerotier and we have the same mods

[neat tundra]

127.0.0.1 points to your own machine, so it is normal that you use it if you are the one hosting

[fallow plinth]

ok i did it, and still the same T-T

[stiff panther]

Okay, however, we are still receiving the same error, "connection timed out", even though everything is 1:1, we are join on the same network on Zerotier, and we have the act same mods

[neat tundra]

do your friends use your ZeroTier IP ?

[stiff panther]

mhm

[fallow plinth]

so : game downpatched, lasted lumafly downloaded, integrity of file verified, global setting reset done,

but i got this when i reset mod installer

it say that the path is not found

[neat tundra]

maybe you deleted these files when reinstalling the mods, in which case that would be normal

[fallow plinth]

okay

make sens

[neat tundra]

try resetting the game path in lumafly i guess

[fallow plinth]

it's the same

[neat tundra]

is lumafly in your downloads or in OneDrive by any chance ?

[fallow plinth]

i tried launching the game moded with no mod instaled and still it don't work

[fallow plinth]

nop it's in my D:\

[neat tundra]

is the modding API enabled ?

[fallow plinth]

yes

I'll delet the mode user info in my appdata

ok I fixed it

the solution was to clear the whole appdata folder (and do a back up in case steam failed to)

how do i mod hollow knight steam rip

do i use lumify or something else

[digital cargo]

good evening everyone I’m new to the world of hollow knight I finished the game and I’d like to try some mods technically is it better to use lumafly or scarab I don’t think this is in the help section I had a quick look in case it is I apologize in advance for the inconvenience

[dense wigeon]

Lunafly is recommended, you'll also currently need to downpatch to use mods

?tag steambetas

[digital cargo]

oh sorry my bad.... thx for the info btw

so I can find the same mods in both ok good to know

[violet ginkgo]

but i download it from steam

[pale gull]

[lucid thicket]

Then why are you on 1.4.2.4

[pale gull]

What's the current version?

[violet ginkgo]

idkk

how can i download modinstaller btw

lumflay didnt work

[lucid thicket]

Latest patch is 1.5.12459, the version you can mod on is 1.5.78.11833. 1.4.2.4 isn't easily accessible through Steam

[lucid thicket]

You won't receive help unless you can send a screenshot of the game in your Steam library

[violet ginkgo]

bruh ur so strict

i have it on my other pc

[pale gull]

Scammer

[lucid thicket]

sigh <@&283547423706447872>

[violet ginkgo]

and now im on my other pc

[lucid thicket]

You can use the same Steam account on your 2 PCs then

[violet ginkgo]

the pc im using now is win7

[pale gull]

What's the other one

[violet ginkgo]

win11

[pale gull]

Use that then

Add your steam to it

[violet ginkgo]

[pale gull]

You were told what to do for help

[lucid thicket]

Doesn't matter, you can't mod on 1.4.2.4

[pale gull]

And also this

[violet ginkgo]

so no hope

[pale gull]

Yep

[limpid fox]

Guys i Dowlanded pantheon of pharloom where I can re fight these bosses?

[pure shore]

can modding staff not delete messages anymore

wait they changed that like years ago didn't they

[lucid thicket]

We can but only in the help and modding channels

[covert estuary]

I'm beyond tempted to demonstrate that we can

[pure shore]

but the scammer was in the modding channel

ohhh to get them banned okay

yeah that makes sense

[covert estuary]

They were everywhere probably

[pure shore]

Krismoil did plenty of that dw

[covert estuary]

As in, the scam gets posted in channels in multiple channels so them being banned is the fastest way for it to be removed everywhere

[covert estuary]

What's the bug

[covert estuary]

You should make a post in #1057825333841240104 after reading #1090079233520451714 . Nobody can answer with literally no information given

[lean steppe]

Maybe rightmost spike not telegraphing?

Tho its usually a heal spot

Idk why is there a spike at all

[limpid fox]

Even in silksong? Cus I don't see there that

Like enemy randomizer work but item don't

[dense wigeon]

It is for silksong help as well and that is covered in the pinned message. But I can already say none of the currently available silksong randos work properly

[limpid fox]

I can't find anything

[dense wigeon]

What are you looking for? The point of the help channel is mainly for you to make your own post and include details/screenshots of the problem

[edgy osprey]

see the reply the hp bar just vanshin till 75%

[edgy osprey]

and in that vid the spike is under the floor

[edgy osprey]

the right most spike

[remote nimbus]

can some help me get mod into hollow knight options

[lucid thicket]

It looks like the damage you dealt during the stagger got applied at the end, that might just be how the fight works

[lucid thicket]

get lumafly:

[lucid thicket]

and make sure you're on the right patch (previous patch in Steam betas options)

[remote nimbus]

ok thank you

[lean steppe]

yeah thats normal

[pale gull]

was the mods stuff fixed? i want to use skins with it

[lucid thicket]

The modding api hasn't updated yet but you can still mod if you downpatch

[pale gull]

ill wait then

is there something here so i can get a ping when it is updated?

[dense wigeon]

When there's an announcement it will likely be made in the modding server & shared here, but i doubt there will be a ping here

[lean steppe]

there will be an everyone ping in modding

[dense wigeon]

Also the timeline has been pushed significantly back since no one is bothering to make something work for current patch when there's a new beta that will be current patch soon

[pale gull]

damn

[tiny trout]

Why does mods make my game run on 0 fps, my HK runs 120 FPS and then I add 10 MB of mod and my game runs on 0 FPS

[pale gull]

background apps?

[pure shore]

Which mods?

[dense wigeon]

No one can know with that little info. Make a #1057825333841240104 post with the required details

[pure shore]

Can you send your mod log?

Or do that ^

[tiny trout]

Custom Knight

For skin

[pure shore]

Go make a forum post

[lean steppe]

custom knight does do that at the start of a run

if it doesnt stop after like 10 seconds something went wrong yeah

[remote mist]

Which mod changed everything to make it like the path of pain?

[dense wigeon]

Probably a Decorations Master or Architect map.

[lean steppe]

architect is better

[dense wigeon]

Overall, probably. But if they're looking for a specific map (and my guess is one of the Impossible maps) then that doesn't really matter, if the map is on deco master

[lean steppe]

right for some reason i read that with the message of "how would i create a map like path of pain"

Hi. Not much related to mods but... I'm trying to make on Unity a fan game of Hollow Knight. Any tips?

[spare radish]

hello i have a question cuz i dont remember how to get skin of the mod custom knight cuz i lost them

[fathom wigeon]

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:

[haughty cliff]

does the child of light up spell just not work for newer versions

[lean ibex]

does anyone know if mods are caught up with the update yet

[edgy osprey]

Any one got a good Custom HP bar Like releated to Ice or the knight (Pic) as the google sheet only few

or there any new website for skins

[midnight drift]

@fierce flame Was there any more updates for the Texas skin mod beyond version 2.0? It's the best custom skin ever imo.

[fierce flame]

Nope

[sharp berry]

What should i do if
I found a Silksong Skin Mod
COSTS 89 RMB[SILKSONG ITSELF IS JUST 79 RMB]

[fierce flame]

[sharp berry]

[It even said this is a DONATION]

[fierce flame]

Looking at it is from the official author not a reseller

the skin was available through a challenge so i guess if you wanter to support the author this is their way of doing it

[sharp berry]

It's a skin mod

it says it is made for

ppl that don't want to do the challenge

It's 10 RMB more expensive than original Silksong

[dense wigeon]

If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

If you want it & want to support the artist, then buy it

[sharp berry]

Do you really think it isn't Unpacked from the game?

[dense wigeon]

I trust Neko's confirmation that it's posted by the original skin creator.

[sharp berry]

fine

[zealous nimbus]

what version do i have to go back to for mods for the original game?

[unique kindle]

1.5.78

Hello, today I wanted to try downloading the Ultracam mod for Silksong. I followed the instructions and placed the mod file in this path: Hollow Knight Silksong\BepInEx\plugins. However, when I launch it, the game crashes with this error. Has anyone else encountered this? Can you please help?

Lumafly is basically the same thing

But a lot more qol features

Please don't ping me, especially on 4 year old messages. There's a custom knight tutorial in pins

why do you people don't like getting pinged so much

just interesting

[dense wigeon]

It's just a preference, also getting so many useless pings makes it harder to filter important pings that I actually care about

[sacred citrus]

oh, alright
btw, can you recommend any free drawing software, photopea doesn't seem to work for me very well

wait did i turn off the ping

Does anyone know how to mod hollow knight for the steam deck????

[fathom wigeon]

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-opengl to 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.
• 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 use sudo chmod -R 777 "Hollow Knight" to update the permissions for the install so that all users can access it.

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.

i just had to downpatch and launch vanilla and then the modded way

Just wondering, if you use two different mod managers in Silksong to install two different mods, will that mess anything up or will it be fine?

[sacred citrus]

absolutely will mess something up

[pale tiger]

Alr I'll just uninstall bepinex then

Apparently thunderstorm is better for Silksong so I'm just making sure

[lucid thicket]

bepinex isn't a mod manager, it's a mod loader. Mods from thunderstore use bepinex too. You should use one of the Silksong installers listed here:

mods not working yet?

Nothings wrong yet, but I'm worried about this

I don't know which file to put in the override tab

[peak fractal]

oh i meant that mods were not working anyway due to the new update, so i was asking if it has worked yet (meant hollow knight)

[pale tiger]

OH mb

yeah I noticed that too, I hope it gets fixed

[peak fractal]

is that cogfly

[pale tiger]

Thunderstorm

Or Gale

[peak fractal]

if u didn't get started with mods in silksong yet, i suggest u set up vortex instead

it has a wider variety of mods, and u can still use individual mods from thunderstore after setting it up

[pale tiger]

I can't imagine it'll impact me too much, all the mods I wanna install are on thunderstore anyway

But thanks for the advice

[lucid thicket]

Nexus isn't recommended, even if it has more mods the overall user experience is worse than with Thunderstore

The community agreed on using Thunderstore, so major mods will release there anyway

[pale tiger]

This too

fireborne was using it so I just assumed it was the next big thing

[bronze pulsar]

are there already mods for silksong to see the other players enemies?

for multiplayer

[peak fractal]

well idk nexus seemed better to me

[tepid perch]

my lumafly isnt working

i try launching modded hollow knight and it doesnt work

[lucid thicket]

The only benefit of nexus is the amount of mods there. The downsides of Nexus are: an account is mandatory for downloading mods, download speeds are throttled unless you pay, the community has less moderation control over mods posted on it, there's also less ways to check for potential malwares

inside:

restore points folders are empty

also this is the right channel right?

[lucid thicket]

It is dw, although if you need troubleshooting support you can make a post in #1057825333841240104. A detail that I've realized is missing from the bot's message is that if you're using Proton then your saves should be at ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/367520/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight

[dry rover]

thank you kind person

[lucid thicket]

(well this is for HK, the path changes at 367520, for silksong it should be 1030300 I believe)

[dry rover]

i would never find my files without you

tho i dont understand why its so complicated

with proton

(without proton silksong wouldnt start for me btw)

[wary hull]

i still cant use lumafly on latest version?

[shrewd tiger]

I am using the following mods and when I spawn in I am infinitly falling out of the scene frame. I think I was last in the pale court boss room inside godhome. I want to use debugmenu or bench warp to tp out and stop infinitly falling but I genuinly cant open the menu or my inventory meaning I cant use the mouse to click any buttons. What can I do?

[wary hull]

did u turn on invincible?

[covert estuary]

?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).

[pale shuttle]

I have a mod idea, would you like me to design it?
Mod adds charms for as bosses
Every boss you kill evolves your Charm into a stronger form.

[devout grove]

I don't understand why, but when i launch hollow knight with mods, it is just the basic game. Can someone help me ?

[dusk bramble]

for some reason when i installed scarab 2.7.0 and i open hollow knight there is no such mods option when i click on options

[lyric mural]

Idk how scarab works, but I assume it’s similar to Lumafly. Did you install any mods on Scarab and launch the game through it?

[shrewd burrow]

can anyone send me a direct link to download lumafly?

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.

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:

[haughty cliff]

does child of light's up spell just not work at all anymore

[dry raven]

will uninstalling lumafly return my game to completely normal without the extra game completage and mod text

[dense wigeon]

No. if you want to play vanilla just use the "launch vanilla" button

(Lumafly is just an installer. If you remove lumafly, the mods & the API that it installed are still there)

Too long to not downpatch if you can,for sure

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 true

?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.

is there any silksong mod that makes annoying early game stuff (like hornet passing out) stop and also one that makes text go faster (like qol in hk)

[vital drum]

why does the newest version not support mods

[left temple]

The mods would take some time to go through the newest version

[mellow timber]

When will they be updates?

[left temple]

idk

[dense wigeon]

Some time after the current beta is public & it's clear there are no more updates coming

Honestly I'd recommend everyone who can downpatch just do it. And if you're on gamepass ... well, get ready to be patient or spend $10 to get it on steam

[mellow timber]

How long until then?

But i dont understand the rest

[covert estuary]

Well you see in help the spoiler bot kills them so it works great

But the others will make the issue still appear no?

[fathom sphinx]

These channels are excluded because people are idiots who I assume can’t do basic things like explain their issues

[dense wigeon]

but if they have a real issue they should make a help post

[covert estuary]

All help channels are working perfectly yes. But excluding other channels just makes the scam appear in fewer channels (but grants the same amount of mod pings so idk what it solves)

[dense wigeon]

just less disruption to the server overall

[lean steppe]

The current system makes rando regulars responsible for pings🔥

[dense wigeon]

Like I know all messages get deleted once someone is banned, but all the pings & etc remain, cluttering the channels

If anything, these are the channels where the scam is visible the longest cause nobody talks over it

There are no plans to make an api for silksong, bepin was decided as the base before the game even came out

is there a silksong mod that allows for holding more than 20 of the same consumable item (eg. necklaces, shard pouches etc.) can't seem to find anything about it

whenever i try to use this skin it shows me the base knight

[edgy osprey]

Dose Lumafly Auto Update ?

[edgy osprey]

oh that happened to me also i fixed it by some altnated skin varient

and then reloading the skin

[storm belfry]

idk how to do those

[edgy osprey]

did ya also download the hp bar ?

[storm belfry]

uhhhh

no

[edgy osprey]

k

[storm belfry]

isnt that for the enemy hp bar mod

[edgy osprey]

i did both and puted both of tem in the same file

then later relised what i have done and remove it then the skin worked for me

[edgy osprey]

yes it is

[storm belfry]

whats the point of downloading that

[edgy osprey]

Hp bar noting alse

[storm belfry]

so do i download both

and put hp bar inside the skin pack

[edgy osprey]

yes then reload the mod from the game theres a button which sayes RELOAD SKINS

i will open the game in like 10 or 20 min then i will send screen shot

I am on game pass so i cannot change version.

scarab doesnt work nor does lumafly

its prob a skillissue but oh well

How do I reset a mod? Uninstalling it did not erase my save date. I'm talking about the Ancient Aspid mod

The god home version is also pure black screen despite the fight going on but im not worrying about that rn

[lean steppe]

delete the global settings file?

or you mean the modded save data? for this you may want to delete the userXmodded.json

if you have many mods maybe you can delete the aspid data manually from there

[zinc void]

i'll have to see gimme a min

But yeah i wanted to get rid of just the mod data

How do i find the userXmodded.json files again..?

[fathom wigeon]

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

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

Reverting Backups

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

Modded Saves

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

Where are the files?

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

I need a specific type of save file

• Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
  • If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

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