[broken heath]

sorry i got confused for no reason at all lol

so, help to find mods?

[dense wigeon]

if you know what you're looking for you can browse the installer, if you have a general question you can ask here

[broken heath]

i was tryna figure out a boundless infinity thing

[royal cedar]

Would you by chance know the name of the mod

[tardy pilot]

Hey does anyone know a mod for Silksong that doesn't give you the one hit ability but just beefs up the damage so bosses end quicker?? I've been stuck on Sister Splinter for almost a month.🥲

[dense wigeon]

Ping isn't needed, thanks - & I don't have an ultrawide so I've never used it but I'm sure if you just search "wide" in lumafly you can find it

Guys forgor to say i started the in the worst possibel time cous it was like two days before i went on vecation lol im getting back today

[junior bobcat]

It would lowkey be awesome to see a mod where someone makes hornet sentinel's moveset to be more like hornet's silksong moveset

Even add a focus mechanic. Like 1 mask for first hit, 2 masks for 2nd hit, etc. (Only if you get continously hit without hurting hornet)

[hazy pumice]

Yeah think it would be pretty cool

[foggy grove]

is there a way to get a hp bar for bosses other than lumafly? can't downpatch

[foggy grove]

sorry if this is the wrong place but i didn't think the help channel would be the right one

[vagrant finch]

that is a mod i think

[foggy grove]

but is it lumafly??

[vagrant finch]

idk lol

[foggy grove]

ok thanks anyway

[vagrant finch]

btw does anyone know how do mod a switch OLED or is that risky?

Hi, I’m trying Randomizer 4 for the first time, and the Dirtmouth stag station door isn’t open after traveling back there from any other stag station. Is there a way to fix this?

• HKMP Discord (Dedicated space for finding people to play HKMP with)

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950

```ml

*Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!*

[hasty sentinel]

Is it possible for Randomizer 4 to softlock you, like say, locking dash behind an area which you need dash to get through?

[dense wigeon]

with the base rando no. There's logic to account for that. There are some edge cases where it can happen with connection & how they interact, but even that is relatively few & far between.

[vagrant orbit]

It's worth noting that:

• There are many progressive items that cause confusion to people (Awoken/Dreamnail/Gate and Mothwing/Shade Cloak primarily). The "first one" may require having found a later one (ie Dreamnail is behind a Whispering Root).
• Duplicate Items are enabled by default, and are also more likely to require the original to obtain by default (ie the delicate Dash ability might be in a spot that logically requires Dash to get to)
• The rare errors with connections will be cases where one connection believes that you can reach a check, but a different connection is causing that to be false. Examples of this include Bench Rando destroying a piece of grass that Grass Rando thinks you can get; Breakable Wall Randomizer is blocking something like Grass from being reachable; Lore Randomizer expecting you to be able to Talk to someone but another mod , etc.

[hasty sentinel]

Thanks a bunch. Are all the pickup locations set when loading the game for the first time, or does the randomizer determine what you’re getting as you’re picking it up? Purely curious on this one. I had been assuming the first one, but after playing it a while I’ve come to suspect the second.

why is it that when i try to put a boss skin in the game my other knight skins get corrupted

i followed all the steps

and i have to reinstall the custom knight mod for it to work again

[minor hawk]

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:

[strange wraith]

Madeline from Celeste skin is not finished, right?

[minor hawk]

not anymore than the currently released version, and won't be updated in all likelyhood

[peak fractal]

will pale court ruin my save file

or will disabling it just undo everything

[vagrant orbit]

• You should always make a backup of your save files before modding
• if you quit the game in Pale Court content and then load without the mod, you'll mess up the file
  • As long as you always warp back to Dirtmouth before quitting, you don't need to worry

?tag savefiles

[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/

[hasty sentinel]

What exactly does a randomizer “having logic” mean?

[dense wigeon]

that each location has requirements to acquire it

and an item won't be placed in such a way to expect you to get it before you have the requirements

[lunar root]

aka monarch wings wont be on a place you need monarch wings to access, for example

or that dreamnail wont be locked behind cdash and cdash behind dreamnail, basically softlock protection

[hasty sentinel]

Huh, okay. So, say, mantis claw, which I don’t yet have, has to be obtainable from where I am without needing it to get there.

[dense wigeon]

yes. or, you're not intended to get claw anytime soon at all

[lunar root]

maybe youre intended to get a different ability or item before claw, or several, but it just means that you will eventually be able to get it

[dense wigeon]

If you're just getting started with rando I'd highly suggest using the Helper log or rando map mod to see what checks are currently in logic

[hasty sentinel]

Thanks. It’s just a little hard to trust the system when every room I enter I need claw to progress through.

[lunar root]

then yeah you should really use rando map mod

[dense wigeon]

or you just think it needs claw because you're used to having claw

[lunar root]

all items that you cannot acess will be greyed out and all that you can wont

also just a tip if you do use it, the map uses icons of where the vanilla items should be, so dont be scared youre spoiling the whole rando as the objects you find wont necessarily be the same shown on the map unless you turn on a setting

[hasty sentinel]

Thanks a bunch, both of you!

[brittle walrus]

Hey i just started modding hollow knight and had a quick question if anyone has time

**If your game is cracked / pirated **

• Piracy is not supported in most communities for games (including this one), and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main community servers for them.
• Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games. (Console versions, and unofficial versions are not supported)
• If you do not have a supported version, then please get one and then you will get support with modding the game. Asking for assistance with unsupported versions may result in moderation action.

[fallen prawn]

are there any mods for silksong that change the healing to be more similar to HK? I'd like to see how the game would work with healing one mask instead of 3

removing the damage multiplier from enemies also sounds interesting

[tranquil granite]

Before I dive into getting tons of mods I have two questions. Is there a mod for Silksong like Pale Court for Hollow Knight, and is there a mod for Silksong that just gives you more save slots?

[pure shore]

And no, there’s not yet anything like Pale Court. There are some impressive gameplay mods already though.

[proper compass]

im trying to download this but after i download it i cant fin it in my files

cant download any frmo disocrd

[dense wigeon]

Please don't ping 4 year old messages. Pay attention to where you download the file.

[proper compass]

ah sorry

[hasty sentinel]

Could someone give me a rundown on how RandoMapMod works? I just downloaded it, and I see tons of options, but it’s not self-explanatory what most of them do. Artemis II Jackson mentioned that somewhere I could see progression icons which would be greyed out if I can’t reach them yet, and I can’t find that at all. I also thought it would (or could) display the map as I found it, and instead there are just tons of screens I’ve discovered floating around the map, which is next to useless in helping me find my way around. I just feel like I don’t understand the mod at all.

[dense wigeon]

There's a readme with all of the details, but generally most people use default settings, which show all maps (regardless if you've picked them up yet). It sounds like you already enabled mapmod from the pause menu? and may have changed to a different map type there. There are also some options that can be toggled in rando's Connections menu.

If you still have a question about something speciffic a screenshot would probably help

Alright, what is Item Compass? The name sounds useful, but I can’t find anything in the readme describing it. It only says that mod includes it.

[dense wigeon]

it's a compass that points to items

[proper compass]

is there a setting in randomap mod to help track items i get in a randomizer

[dense wigeon]

Ping isn't needed thanks. Mapmod generally shows what items are uncollected, to see what items you already have you'd want to look in y our inventory or your Tracker log.

[hasty sentinel]

Melon Cat, go to the VS icon in your inventory, around which the nail arts would populate. That should show you what you’ve collected.

I just found that earlier, myself.

Colette, what does it look like? Is it like a physical Wanderer’s Compass, or just something in the map menu?

[dense wigeon]

it shows up as an arrow near the player that moves as you do in relation to checks

[hasty sentinel]

Okay, thanks!

[dense wigeon]

it can also be set to show what the nearest items is

[hasty sentinel]

Where is the thing Artemis was describing, though? The feature that greys out items I can’t get yet?

[dense wigeon]

so like this is what it looks like pointing at grass

That's also part of mapmod, it should just be on the map

Upon downloading from the official website, the EXE is flagged on virustotal with a score of -13 and on Tria.ge it gets flagged as Adware, Bootkit, Defense_evasion, Discovery, Persistence, Privelage Escalation, Ransomware, Spyware, Stealer, and Trojan

this feels incredibly concerning

[unique kindle]

I can see it flagged as a Trojan as it technically installs files to your computer, obviously not malicious, but it does. The rest seems blatantly wrong

[crude echo]

I downloaded the mod installer from here and hollow knight is not opening it opens for a split second then closes why is that?

[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:

[crude echo]

is there any way to make the mod thingy go back any versions?

[lyric mural]

What do you mean?

[crude echo]

like could I make it go to an older version of hollow knight

[lyric mural]

You’ll need to make a separate install of the game, then download the mods manually iirc

[crude echo]

oh..

ok

[lyric mural]

The mod installer only works with 1.5.78

[crude echo]

I mean I can do the seprate version

[crude echo]

oh ok then

thank you

for your help

[hasty sentinel]

So, randomapmod is telling me I will find progress in Resting Grounds and Deepnest, and it’s dragging my cursor to a specific screen. Does that mean I’ll find the progress on those screens, or is it just saying that Resting Grounds and Deepnest in general hold progress somewhere in each of those areas?

[lyric mural]

it's a general hint

[random shoal]

so i need to go on steam and turn the version in 1,5,78 ?

[tranquil granite]

If I were to rename a file from user2.dat to Twisted Child, would a new user2 file be able to be made, and if I were to only have one file with that name that would be the one shown upon the game loading?

And moreover would it still be able to exist where the other save files exist

[gentle rover]

how do i get lumafly to work with gamepass hollow knight

and why is silksong so much less of a pain to mod than hollow knight

[neat atlas]

Unfortunately you currently cannot mod hk on gamepass. And its actually very easy to mod hk, its just that with recent updates its been receiving, a lot of mods have been breaking which is why it is necessary to downpatch in order to run mods

[scarlet perch]

hi, so i'm playing hollow knight with archipelago and costsanity, could someone explain what it means to pay grubfather eggs?

[terse delta]

How do i copy my saves from the current version to either import them in an earlier versin which i can mod with lumafly or to hav a backup if downgrading deletes my saves?

i want to play version 1.5.78.11833

[lunar root]

Downgrading should not delete or mess with your saves in any way, but if you still want to be careful red the message below on how to back them

[fathom wigeon]

Important paths

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

• Lumafly Shortcuts: Open Mods Folder | Open Saves Folder

• **Windows except XBox Games ** 🪟

  • Save Files: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\
  • Mod Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
  • To find Saves folder:
    1. Press [WindowsKey] + [R]
    2. Copy & Paste the Save Files path
    3. Press [Enter]

• XBox Games/Gamepass 🎮: type ?tag gamepass into chat for more info.

• Mac OS 🍎

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

  • Mod Files: Right-click hollow_knight.app, select "show contents", then go to: contents ᐅ resources ᐅ data ᐅ managed ᐅ mods
  • To find Saves folder:
    1. In the Finder, click "Go" in the top menu and select "Go to folder"
    2. Copy and paste the Save Files path and press enter.

• **Linux ** 🐧

  • Mod Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/

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/

(It looks scary that much text i know, just read the file location for your operating system then the what do save files looks like part)

[terse delta]

thank you👍

[civic lynx]

tryna play silksong with my friend, are there any finished multiplayer mods where you can 100% the game from zero without any issues and if yes which one is the most stable?? (synced enemies is a must have 🙏)

[dense wigeon]

Last I checked there's no synced enemies for ssmp yet. It took years for HK synced enemies to even be in beta

[civic lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/depression-gif-18185912

[harsh wolf]

are their mods for skins in silksong

[dense wigeon]

Yes, multiple

[harsh wolf]

where can i find them

[dense wigeon]

Ping isn't needed thanks. Silksong Customizer & Patchwork are both on Thunderstore like most mods. But which you need depends on the skin.

[cobalt lynx]

is there a mod for showing the health of bosses?

Nevermind found one

[red pewter]

Quick question where to I put the Void spells if i wanna replace them?

in the custom knight mod

[marble knoll]

Can someone give me the thing to the hollow knight modding surver

[wide tiger]

is there a mod too spawn next too bosses i cant find one?

Can I ask why? Just to fight them whenever?

(also hk or sk)

[visual turtle]

Hollow knight or silksong?

[wide tiger]

hollow knight

[covert estuary]

NoWalkOfShame

[visual turtle]

There is an item in the game for that

or that

[covert estuary]

True, although most people that ask for such a mod have not reached that item

[wide tiger]

yea i did not even know that there was an item for that

i dont think im that far yet

[covert estuary]

Out of curiousity, what boss are you stuck on that causes you to ask for this mod

[wide tiger]

Mantis Lords

im not really stuck on it the runback is just so far

[visual turtle]

Oh yea, that runback is not fun.

[covert estuary]

Did you follow quirrels advice

[visual turtle]

Also just checking, you're not spawing in queen's station, right?

[wide tiger]

no

[covert estuary]

I've some words of advice, my friend. If you plan to challenge the lords of this tribe, your blunted nail may prove inadequate.
There is a city nearby, the old capital of Hallownest. I've heard a Nailsmith resides there. Seek the old bug out and you may find progress that much easier.

I would generally not recommend modding your playthrough, instead just go do something else

[lunar root]

yeah modding the game can change the experience a lot in unintended ways

[midnight shore]

Hi, I'd like to voice an idea for a mod for a new boss that involves NKG. I want to know how to make mods for games I love or at least try and get the idea out there. I have how the boss looks in the Art discussion section and most of the lore. So if I can come up with all the moves and the final colored design. Can someone help me get a mod out there for Nightmare Sage Sly?

[cobalt mauve]

does anyone know when lumafly will be up for use

i got HK on the store so i cant downgrade type

[visual turtle]

A few months is what I heard.

[spare dust]

hello everyone

[junior bobcat]

A architects mod map which would let the knight actually beat silksong with each hornet upgrade corresponding to a knight upgrade, i.e.: when hornet unlocks swift step, the knight unlocks mothwing cloak would be awesome

[shadow lark]

hiya! im wondering if there are any tutorials on how to mod skins for hk after the latest update thanks :3

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:

[lone roost]

hey guys, is there a mod for hollow knight that increases the fov so bosses dont go off screen?

SPOILER >> ||its really annoying fighting pure vessel cuz you can't tell what attack he's gonna use next when he's off screen especially when he does his lunge attack or shooting the silver daggers||

[pure shore]

that is part of the point but you can use debug mod to zoom out

[lone roost]

idk it doesnt seem fair to me that i cant see the boss before an attack and therefore cant react in time

but tysm 🙏

[visual turtle]

Here's a tip, when he tps off screen, jump. If he dashes, you're in the air and can pogo. If he daggers, just wait a sec then dash through them.

[lunar root]

Also always try to be at the center of the arena

But yeah jumping before every attack helps a lot

[spare dust]

hello

[lone roost]

thx for the tips guys, i'll try it out before i download the mod

my suggestion for mods is to start playing modded only after you’ve done every acheivement on vanilla

does ssmp sync enemies, if not, is there a way to do so?

[neat atlas]

no and no

[solid ledge]

darn ok

[finite kestrel]

Is there a way to get mods on the latest version

Lumafly says the latest is 1.5.78

[visual turtle]

Not right now. Lumafly hasn't been updated to the latest version, and it might be months before it is.

[finite kestrel]

Damn just like beat saber but I guess nothing really major changed in the new update

[bronze pulsar]

wait why does hkmp need hamachi but ssmp doesnt need anything like hamachi

[tardy pilot]

Hey, I need some serious help. I tried to install a mod from a tutorial but when I press F 1 the plugin does come up, I did everything right with the video so I don't know what's going on🥲

[vagrant orbit]

Because SSMP is attempting to utilize a different networking method, and when it's all ironed out, it'll likely be back-ported to HKMP

[river steppe]

First thing check and make sure it’s installed in the correct directory and matches your game version. A lot of tutorials skip version compatibility, and that’s usually the issue. Also confirm any required dependencies or scripts are installed.
If the UI shows but doesn’t respond, it could be a keybind conflict or a missing config file.

[warm shard]

what is wrong with your Widget,bro😭

[bronze pulsar]

uhh its just a great game

hey what charms should i use for any radiance 1.0?

Hi all, I need an information regarding pale court mod:
after I updated hk, it of course launched as vanilla, but when lumafly will eventually be updated to support this version, will the Pale court mod remember the progress I made in the old save files or will I have to restart it?
Thanks in advance

hi

so kaiser how do i install a mod

[paper quiver]

im gueesing this?

#modding-discussion message

[peak fractal]

yes

just make sure ur on the older patch

cuz they don't work on the new version yet

[paper quiver]

alr got it

now what

[peak fractal]

did u download it

[paper quiver]

yes

[peak fractal]

just look for a mod and press install

then start the game

[steady cipher]

@vagrant orbit maybe you could edit this message so it doesn't say 1.5.78.11833 is latest patch anymore?

[paper quiver]

so i should turn off hk?

[peak fractal]

yes

install the mod then start it again

[steady cipher]

also make sure you are on 1.5.78.11833

[paper quiver]

and how do i check 😭

[steady cipher]

steam

considering you have the game on steam

[paper quiver]

yeah i do

but how do i check on steam

(i never installed a mod on steam)

[peak fractal]

right click the game >properties> versions and betas

[paper quiver]

and i should move to this?

[steady cipher]

the mod isn't actually installed "in steam". It doesn't really make a difference

[peak fractal]

yes

[paper quiver]

alr done

and yes i installed removelaggyobjects

[peak fractal]

ok now just start the game

[paper quiver]

i started it from lumafly

[peak fractal]

try launching it from lumafly first time to make sure lumafly located ur game

[steady cipher]

you can also use skins now

[paper quiver]

its downloading the assets

[steady cipher]

the grub skin is the best btw

[paper quiver]

it did

[peak fractal]

great

[paper quiver]

pure glaze

[peak fractal]

next times u can launch the game immediately

even without opening lumafly

[steady cipher]

what it deserves

[paper quiver]

also if i change versions

will i like keep the progres

hm?

why is there still

objects

@steady cipher

nvm

[amber laurel]

why is that when I'm on 1.5.78.11833 I loose vibration on my controller?

[dense wigeon]

You'll have to wait & see. It's not ecen for sure known yet if mods will even work on the new patch once the api is updated or if things will need to get ported like when modding moved from 1432

[minor hawk]

I would assume pale court stuff are saved in a modded save file and won’t go anywhere unless you delete your save folder

So just going back and forth between updates shouldn’t break stuff, when the api gets updated I don’t see 1.5.78 modding being destroyed instantly so..

[peak fractal]

do mods from vortex or thunderstore also not work

[dense wigeon]

If you mean for hk, those are not community supported, and dont work with lumafly mods. If you mean for silksong, thunderstore is the community recommendation

[pine goblet]

Alright, thank u very much

[plush canyon]

what does segmented bindings do in godseekerplus?

[lucid thicket]

I've never seen an option named segmented bindings, only segmented P5

Yeah searching for segmented in the mod's source code only gives results for segmented P5

And for what that one does, the answer is in the mod's readme

[plush canyon]

shit I need sleep

[plush canyon]

ok, thx

[magic relic]

Is there a modding api for the most recent version of HK

(at least for simple mods, like togglable bindings)

[stray ravine]

Anyone know a tool or a tutorial to make custom crests? Was thinking of making one to change my playstyle, maybe something like a hunter's crest but weaker or similar, idk yet.

[pure shore]

This is probably what you’re looking for

But note that it’s a programming api, you will need to develop your own mod still

You can find good references by looking at its dependants https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/p/Voidlings/Needleforge/dependants/

[stray ravine]

Nice, thanks, if you don't mind me asking, i heard there was a basic crest editor with architect, or so i heard from some messages, but i'm not sure its true or if it is, where such would be, so i could atleast have an idea if i'd wnat to take from a base crest or make a full one?

[pure shore]

This would be a question for @white thorn

Although I realize this is like the 5th time I’ve thrown him under the bus

Sorry comet :(

[white thorn]

Dw it’s fine

[white thorn]

If you go to the Workshop tab at the bottom of the screen in the editor you can find a bunch of custom things including crests and crest slots, you can set crests to use the moveset of a vanilla crest

Right now you just copy a whole moveset and all custom crests have the default bind, I do plan on adding more customisability in the future like the ability to mix and match attacks from different crests

[stray ravine]

Oh i see, still very cool, thanks.

Do you mean like a modded trobbio? I have no idea

[true violet]

I mean, is there a mod that lets me kill him in his second fight, rather than him disappearing under his stage

[dense wigeon]

Browse the modlist & see I guess. Most people like trobbio I think but maybe there's a hater who is also a modder

[pure shore]

That reminds me

I should make deadersherma

[unique kindle]

And then act 3 start gauntlet ends with game over since no Sherma to save you.

[lunar root]

You should make deadersong, a mod that turns silksongs main menu screen into 30 seconds of a rotating loading symbol and then have a popup show up saying "Error code: 5283FXDSS" and when you click close a new popup shows up that says "Sorry, as of [mod creation date], the servers for Hollow Knight: Silksong have been permanently shut down."

Clicking close on that only makes it go back to the spinning loading symbol forever

[pure shore]

deaderpc and it’s just a zip bomb that unzips to like 50 petabytes

[pure shore]

Idk enough about silksong to comment on this

act 3 what? Sherma saves who?

[lunar root]

Act 3 is that one part of the game where hornet climbs to like the peak of pharloom and

Accidentally climbs too far out and ends up at this place called "Mira HQ"

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

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:

[magic steppe]

when will be the modding api get updated for the latest version?

From what I've heard, months.

(answered in #1057825333841240104)

Really random thing that probably no one else cares about, but is there a mod that makes bosses in pantheons have their normal boss music? Grimm being the primary target here.

Guys, is there a way to still mod hollow knight, even if on the Xbox Gamepass version? I've been trying, but since there is no downgrade for the game, I have not one idea on how to mod the game. Since I got every achievement, I've been too bored on it.

[dense wigeon]

If you're unable to downpatch then you have to wait for the API to be updated.

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.

?tag blanksaves

[fathom wigeon]

If you tried to mod the wrong patch and are now seeing Blank Save Files

• First you'll need to reset your Global Settings Files:
  1. Download this file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/1039420689624612884/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
  2. Move the file to your Desktop
  • If it appears on your computer as a .txt file, then you'll need to resave it as .bat
  3. Double-Click the file
• Second you'll need to Verify the Integrity of your game files. You can use ?tag verify in chat to see how to do this in Steam.
• Third make sure that Lumafly isn't in your Downloads folder, then use Shift Right-Click on it and select Run as Administrator

[lucid thicket]

just because they don't load doesn't mean you lost them

[neat tundra]

it's a good idea to make a backup of your saves just in case though

And if not how possible is it to make one with like a level editor or something?

[errant storm]

idk if this is considered an ignorant question but is there any mod manager that works on the gamepass version of hk right now?

There is not

The mod managers are not why mods don't work on the latest patch

There is a core Modding API that all mods use, and that is not updated yet. HK just updated about two weeks ago, and the last time there was an update this drastic it took ~3 months for the Modding API to update

[junior kernel]

Ah got it, thanks! I’ll check that out 🙂

[gleaming solar]

So to my knowledge, Lumafly, at the time of writing this, currently does not work with the new version of hollow knight, but it is currently in the process of getting updated.

But that will be a while before that happens correct? It currently has been 2 months

[fierce flame]

its only been a couple weeks since the most recent update

[dense wigeon]

when things updated from 1432 to 1578 it took like 4 months. And there was no effort to make sure mods still worked (there are still mods that were never ported from 1432 to woik on 1578)

[gleaming solar]

Ah

Well I guess downpatching woulnd't hurt, I believe theres mods that more than great to help the frame work with hollow knight I believe

[inner barn]

Is there any way to make it so when I clear a save the user#.modded.json file will also be deleted with it?

[torpid parrot]

Did you make this?
Looks genuinely awesome. ^u^

[fierce flame]

nope

the bili link is the source to the author of the skin

[queen meadow]

Question: Does anyone know how to change a boss' title card in skong?

[haughty terrace]

No

[queen meadow]

No as in it's not possible, or no as in you specifically don't know?

[visual turtle]

Some of the modded bosses have it, so it's possible. I don't know how though.

[queen meadow]

Yeah, I figured the same, that's why I'm asking here

[vagrant orbit]

The simplest thing is to use Custom Knight's Swap features

You can look at skins like Mimikyu and Little Radiance to see examples

[queen meadow]

shit, I forgot to mention I meant in silksong

mb, sorry

[vagrant orbit]

In that case I don't know of a way without a dedicated mod currently. I'm not sure if either existing skin mod offers custom text currently

[queen meadow]

Mmm, okay, thanks

[neat tundra]

I know architect allows you to make custom title cards, but linking them to a vanilla boss and deleting the original one might be complicated

[queen meadow]

Hm, thanks

[fathom wigeon]

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.

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.

[royal jay]

thanks bro

i cant open it

[gilded arch]

can someone send me modinstaller 2 for mac please

[royal jay]

like when i open it itdoesnt do anything

[lucid thicket]

It installs Cogfly in the background, now you should be able to find Cogfly by searching for it in your apps

[lucid thicket]

Is there a specific reason you want modinstaller2? Like, that installer is extremely outdated

[gilded arch]

i just want hollow knight mods and dont know how to get them for mac

• HKMP Discord (Dedicated space for finding people to play HKMP with)

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

Public Servers:

General use (PVP enabled)
 IP:    hkmp.org
 PORT:  26950
Requires HkmpPouch```

 PORT:  26951
Requires HkmpPouch```
```ml
Infection Tag
 IP:    tag.hkmp.org

*Important note: "Invalid Addons" means that you have extra HKMP addons that can't be used on the server. Pouch servers can have any Addons that say that they require Pouch, but you otherwise cannot use others!*

Hollow Point FAQ | Install | ReadMe

Gun doesn't work / HUD is jank

• Hollow Point doesn't work on new saves. Save and quit, then reload the save file.
• Having multiple Gun Class charms equipped can also break the gun.
• Hollow Point is not compatible with some other mods, such as Pale Court.
• Despite what the ReadMe says, you do not need ModCommon for it

Healing isn't working!

• If you are playing with Hollow Point Enabled, then read the ReadMe (linked at the top of this post) to learn how healing and using spells works.
• If you've Disabled Hollow Point, and healing isn't working:
  • Hollow Point edits how Soul works on a file, as mentioned in the ReadMe
  • Here are ways to fix it.

Not working with Custom Knight skins!

This is a known issue, and Custom Knight is not considered compatible with HP.

And all my mods just aren’t there

?tag blanksaves

[fathom wigeon]

If you tried to mod the wrong patch and are now seeing Blank Save Files

• First you'll need to reset your Global Settings Files:
  1. Download this file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/1039420689624612884/Global_Settings_Reset.bat
  2. Move the file to your Desktop
  • If it appears on your computer as a .txt file, then you'll need to resave it as .bat
  3. Double-Click the file
• Second you'll need to Verify the Integrity of your game files. You can use ?tag verify in chat to see how to do this in Steam.
• Third make sure that Lumafly isn't in your Downloads folder, then use Shift Right-Click on it and select Run as Administrator

[visual turtle]

If you are still having trouble, it's probably better if you make a post in #1057825333841240104 . Make sure to include all the required info in the pinned post.

[candid agate]

But when I go back to non modded it works fine

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.

I know this is from so long ago but I am looking for the updated version of a Lifeblood Seed skin that was sent here a long time ago just under the message I am replying to now.
The update was made I believe in 2025 but its only on Baidu from my understanding.
The update includes some nice fixes for charms such as Sprint.

Is there anyway someone is able to access the downloads for this and post them here?
I have tried signing up to this stupid site and it wont let me so I am out of luck. qnq
Any help would be appreciated.

If you know its from so long ago why ping? especially since you didn't even reply to the post with the skin lmao, or even include any link for the updated version

This is the link to the place that shows off their skin - https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1vB4y1i7Dk?spm_id_from=333.788.player.switch&vd_source=4258ac3540c4d27807d86b08fb7352b7&trackid=web_related_0.router-related-2479604-6dnm7.1776966205262.966

This is the link to the actual download - https://pan.baidu.com/s/1Egoqv7p0aYiap7ME1x50Rw
Which may ask for a code which is this - 5brp

All sites are in Simplified Chinese but built in translations on browser does seem to help people getting around (since it helped me) or browser extensions can also be of use here if no built in translation.

Thank you for telling me about the ping on/off feature, I seriously didn't know that existed till now.
Would you happen to know if there is a way to have that off by default?

[unique kindle]

Unfortunately not

[torpid parrot]

Dang well if I accidentally ping someone through replies again I really apologize for that in advance.
It is gonna happen, however its a good thing I ain't super active in the server so the odds of it happening is very low.

[dense wigeon]

The problem is not the translation, its that its nearly impossible to make a Baidu account unless you're Chinese, and the easy to use downloaders we were familiar with have been shut down

(Also pinging is not a big deal, its easy to forget to turn off - I just did - I just prefer not to be and since there's not a helpful bot here like in modding server I have to say so myself)

[torpid parrot]

Okay, and I respect that I will try my best not to. ^u^

[torpid parrot]

Also dang, didn't know of this. qnq
Well I guess if I ever find the time and work up the motivation perhaps I could just draw it myself.

[red plinth]

If you keep turning off ping when you reply, you will eventually auto-pilot and turn it off by habit. But yeah discord really should have a setting to just...default off.

[fierce flame]

discord adds it.... but its a nitro feature

[lunar root]

Discord is so stupid man

The entire replay feature thing what were they thinking

Making it free of course! Replies should be only for nitro+ subscribers

You can live without them, so pay them for it

There is a link to play hk coop?

HKMP (Hollow Knight Multiplayer)

• Easy Setup Guide (Important to read!)
• Video Guide 🎦
• How to use Skins | **Example Image: ** https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/910765152725524480/HKMP_Skin_Example.png
• HKMP Discord (Dedicated space for finding people to play HKMP with)

How it works

HKMP puts a copy of each player into each other players world.
Enemies have separate health and will usually be in different places; Items/abilities must be collected separately; and Breakable objects must be broken by each player. Player attacks happen in each player's world, damaging any enemies/players it comes in contact with. A player is only hurt by the enemies in their own world. This page explains how you can use other mods and addons to synchronize some aspects, and improve your experience.

Public Servers:

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

[primal plover]

so like, does scarab not work because of the new updates?

[dense wigeon]

It works on the patch it was made for (as well as it ever did, lumafly is the recommended installer)

?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.

[charred charm]

Hello

How do i play a level i downloaded from the arhitect mod?

[neat tundra]

just open a savefile and go to where the level starts, take a look at the level's descriptions too if it says you should have all skills, make a new savefile, where the level starts...
for silksong architect there can be savefiles attached to the level for you to play in

[charred charm]

thank you very much

[wispy talon]

js modde my silksong

[worthy shadow]

?level

oh it doesn't work

[hollow horizon]

If I do P5 with mods will I get the achievement?

[neat tundra]

?tag achievements

[fathom wigeon]

Modding and Achievements

• Mods do not normally prevent you from getting Achievements. However, since a recent Steam update, some players report not obtaining them.
  • If you are missing achievements, opening the game in vanilla and setting at a bench may sync them again. You can also get them using the HollowKnightAchievementManager mod.
  • If you want to prevent them, you can use the Disable Achievements mod.
  • If a mod changes/removes something that's part of an achievement trigger, such as skipping something with QoL, then you won't get that achievement. Some mods that rely on SFCore such as Hallownest Vocalized can sometimes prevent achievements from working.
• In some cases, achievements are still earned, but the pop-ups do not come up when modding.

[haughty stirrup]

Hey dose lumafly work with the current patch on Xbox app?

[dusty basalt]

Does Hallownest vocalized add dream nail dialogue to the false knight or is that a glitch

[vagrant orbit]

Is what a glitch?

False Knight does have dream nail dialogue

As does Mace Bug

[modern rivet]

Are there any mods that rework the bosses in some way such that it’s a somewhat new experience?

[dusty basalt]

I was fighting the False knight without the dream nail and its dream nail dialogue randomly came up

I just started my game

[vagrant orbit]

I'm not sure why they don't seem to have a ReadMe, but that is intentional and iirc it's a setting in the mod's menu

[merry snow]
