Common issues

  • If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del (or fn+Del on some configurations). You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
  • If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, make sure 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 isn't working, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this, you may need to use the Reload option in the previous menu.
    • Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s launching correctly the first time. To use both mods at the same time, you must 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 lots of White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to try applying skins in a small/empty room, like a stag station.
  • Make sure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when you have your save file loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu will only be used for new files.

Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section above, then please create a post in #1047056433767796766 with the following
You must post a screenshot that shows:

  • Where you installed the skin
  • With the directory bar visible
  • With the skin images themselves visible
  • Example screenshots (yours should look like this):

you can download most of the skins on this website https://hkskins.art/
then you will need to add all the downloaded files to your skins folder and mostly unpack a zip. This is the path for me and should be about the same for you (Its just German language)

I would suggest using Colette's list instead though

never used that one so I dont know about that one

As it explains more on how to actually get them, and it currently is more complete (unless hkskins has added all of the ones from Colette's last update)

Colette posted her personal list a long time ago, and hkskins was made to show her list in a different way, and add some other stuff. But hkskins doesn't give much info on each skin, nor does it make it clear to new players how to actually get them
