I did everything fireborn said to do for custom knight to work, and it did at first. most skins on it worked, but some didnt. so I tried deleting the files of the unzipped skins that didnt work, then extracting them again, and now NO custom knight skin will work. how can I possibly fix this? ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling custom knight, but that didnt work either. im on windows and playing from steam

Common CK issues/fixes

Verify that the skin was installed correctly.
Restart your game.
Ensure that you're enabling it from the Pause Menu, not the Main Menu.
If it doesn't apply, then you may need to reset your Global Settings for it. You can either manually do this by deleting the customknight.globalsettings files from your saves directors (type ?tag saves in chat if you don't know where that is), or by using an automatic script from ?tag reset.

dull drum You got a modlog?

yes, what part should I send?

#

although every part in the modlog where it says customknight, it says [ERRROR] on the left

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

send the entire .txt

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

oh alright

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

hey send a screenshot of your modlist in the main menu

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

like in the actual hollow knight game?

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

preferably

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

alright

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

all the loaded mods are close together on that screen, easier to see what you have

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

the modlist on scarab

#

and this is it on hollow knight

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

not that screen lol, the main menu

#

in the top left

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

oh

#

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

dont see any mods that I know of that conflict

#

based on your modlog, you should probably try redownloading all the skins you wanna use

#

says theres a lot of broken skins

#

double check that all the skins are properly installed once you do. i.e. have sprite sheets and stuff in the right spot

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

what does I.e. mean

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

folder path should look something like this

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

soft meadow what does I.e. mean

just means "for example"

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

oh

#

well if it is the skins problem

#

then how doesnt the demo work?

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

hm?

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

ya know the demo skin thats auto installed?

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

What is that one called in the Skins folder?

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

SwapperDemo

#

I believe

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

Thats different to the Knight's skins

#

thats for stuff outside the Knight's normal sprites

#

i think the demo folder is more for skin-makers

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

then how did it work before

#

but not now

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

first, double check the skin folders

#

if that doesn't work we will try deleting the global settings file for ck

soft meadow Feb 5, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

alright then

#

ill report back to you on that in some time

#

thank you

dull drum Feb 5, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

np

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

dull drum says theres a lot of broken skins

if theres 1 broken skin, does that disable me to use any skin?

#

because otherwise like all 10 skins are somehow broken

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

dunno, but your error log has a lot of errors for broken skins

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 12:58 AM

#

dull drum dunno, but your error log has a lot of errors for broken skins

so then should I just delete and redownload all of my skins?

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

I think you should definitely try that

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 3:27 AM

#

alright bet

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

I deleted everything, even unistalled and reinstalled custom knight, then reinstalled skins, and it still didnt work :(

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

next try deleting your customknight.globalsettings file in your saves folder

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 4:34 AM

#

how do I do that?

#

and what do I do after?

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 4:35 AM

#

?tag saves

Important paths
Note: 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.

Windows:
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\

Mac OS:
Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
Mod Files: Right-click hollow_knight.app, and select "show contents", then navigate to: contents ᐅ resources ᐅ data ᐅ managed ᐅ mods
||Please double check that you followed correctly. The Unix versions of the game have multiple folders with the same/similar names, and it's easy to go to the wrong folder||

Linux:
Save Files: ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/
Game Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/
Mod Files: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight_Data/Managed/Mods/

Just delete the file that includes custom knight and global settings in its name

#

Then try the skins in-game and see what happens

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

dull drum Just delete the file that includes custom knight and global settings in its name

and getting rid of global settings wont ruin anything else with hollow knight?

#

oh global settings is in custom knight

#

nevermind

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

A lot of mods have settings files to store their settings

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

so just these 2?

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

Yep

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

and then just open the game and try to jus select the skin?

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

Mhmm

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

bet thanks

dull drum Feb 6, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

If it doesn't work, grab the modlog and post it

#

If I can't look at it tonight I'll take a look tomorrow

soft meadow Feb 6, 2023, 4:59 AM

#
