[sacred meteor]

could somebody help me? im trying to make italy have no territories but it keeps istria, south tyrol, zara and latium

[burnt mantle]

Go to the zara or other state file (history/states) and swap the owner ita to yug

[sacred meteor]

ok

i see [04:31:32][statetemplate.cpp:607]: State ID conflict: Both "Latium" ( history/states/2-Latium.txt) and "Latium" ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\2-Italy.txt).
[04:31:33][statetemplate.cpp:607]: State ID conflict: Both "South Tyrol" ( history/states/39-South Tyrol.txt) and "South Tyrol" ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\39-Britain.txt). when i start my game how do i fix this

[burnt mantle]

name your state how its names the game (ex. game: "39-britain.txt" your must be "39-britain.txt", not other)

just copy game state and swap owner

[sacred meteor]

ok

[slim canyon]

Update about the breaking bad Focus tree:At first the focus tree will have base game accounts,later it will be changed into new made icons to save time

[sacred meteor]

ok

[slim canyon]

it looks like that for now

[pallid temple]

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1827273767

[sacred meteor]

holy crap that is so blurry

you should add a seperate part of the tree where it increases factory output n stuff

[slim canyon]

in plans

the tree is in massive W.I.P

[sacred meteor]

yeah pretty obvious

[slim canyon]

the thing i showed may be 1/8 or 1/10 of the future focus

or even 1/15

[sacred meteor]

but you shouldnt have all your focuses be on just the meth business give some focuses for your army and stuff

[slim canyon]

yes

ik ik

i want to do 1 segment by another

1 is gonna be meth/political

2 is gonna be economic/political

3 is gonna be army

and rest idk

[sacred meteor]

i think 3 is good

although i think it should be 1 army 2 political/meth and 3 meth/economic

but its your mod

[burnt mantle]

omg

[merry bison]

Wth happened here

[burnt mantle]

i just changed the focuses from the countries like Germany lol

[merry bison]

Hm

[balmy breach]

anyone knows how to remove a victory point? I removed it from the states file, yet it still appears in the game, no matter what I try. Is there some other file where it appears?

[merry bison]

Well you gotta edit adejncies and the map for that

Or so

[burnt mantle]

You need to change "map/terrain.bmp", "map/terrain/colormap_rgb_cityemissivemask_a.dds". I can give a video showing how to do this and you can do the opposite

[faint lichen]

how would I change the loading quotes?

I cant seem to find the file location

[burnt mantle]

Did you mean tips? localisation/<lang>/loading*tipsl_*<lang>.yml

[faint lichen]

yeah I guess

is it only in localisation?

[obtuse condor]

I have problem with my code... there error about rocket site... it says that theres no definition about rocket site in state 835 and 836... problem is: I dont want this rocket sites! I dont know WHERE can be anythink about it... I can show code of both states in dm

[burnt mantle]

yup

[burnt mantle]

just add line "835 = {<rand province in 835 state>}" and "836 = {<rand province in 836 state>}" in map/rocketsites.txt (instead <rand province> put province. ex: 3821). I haven't noticed the impact of these rocketsites, so it's just worth adding lines so the game doesn't complain

[obtuse condor]

ok ty

[grim sparrow]

How can I add per focus tree steel or rubber?

[white gale]

[sacred meteor]

why does it look weird

I think they're using the ole hoi4 modding website

[grizzled condor]

Yep. I gave up trying to get it all layed out .3.

Hold up I might’ve figured it out, but let me be sure

I wanted to know how to change characters for the base game, however I might’ve done it I’m not sure

is there something like justify_war_goal_tension_limit = 0 that, so I can like instant justify war goal on a nation without waiting on the tension?

[prime jacinth]

it's called 'allowdiplo' so you can declare war without needing to justify

[brisk burrow]

ok, thx

[desert marsh]

I'm thinking about making a terminator mod is that something anyone would want?

[stiff widget]

for what country is this tree

[burnt mantle]

Divided Kingdom v2 🤨

[buoyant dove]

You should add Havering, Cornwall and northern England tags

[burnt mantle]

What do these tags do?

Ah, I get it.

[buoyant dove]

They’d chill

[grizzled condor]

Fdr or alf landon should show what :>

[burnt mantle]

I'll probably only add Cornwall and Havering, cus Cornwall is a unitary unit and Havering is a boro, meaning they count as a separate administrative unit, which means they can be singled out as a puppet of England. (Northern England is simply part of the kingdom of England itself, not an administrative unit)

[stiff widget]

tbh i didn't understand what u said

[grizzled condor]

Franklin roosevelt or alf Landon

[stiff widget]

ok

[grizzled condor]

Its the us lol

[buoyant dove]

Both of them have significant nationalist movements

All three

[burnt mantle]

Hm

I can add a core to northern England, cus this nationalist movement has not yet been sufficiently exacerbated

[burnt mantle]

I can't find Havering movenent flag damn

[buoyant dove]

It’s green blue red

[burnt mantle]

lol

like this?

[buoyant dove]

Blue is on the bottom

Green and red can be switched but it normall goes green then red

[full swallow]

does player led conferences work on already started games

forgot to download it before starting one

[burnt mantle]

the final version?

[buoyant dove]

Yes

[burnt mantle]

Is Havering's ideology democratic or neutrality (or fascist/communist)?

[buoyant dove]

Your choice

Though the Havering independence movement has been historically associated with socialism

[burnt mantle]

Is there a page or mention of Havering's history on wikipedia? It's just that I found the Cornwall flag specifically in movements in the UK, but didn't find Havering there

[buoyant dove]

Havering history on wikipedia isn't much, especially for the independence movement

all you need to really know is that

the Havering revolutionary party (went by a couple names) started off some point in the first half of the 20th century and has remained since under various alterations

gen erally supports the inclusion of havering in a federal independent london but also as its own country

Hi guys can I get your recommendations for playing the fallout mod? I've played the Enclave submod a lot. Whats a country that has a lot of content?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2687729618

[fathom mango]

so I'm making a mod for the Austro-Hungarian empire, and after I first opened the game to see the states and get the territory all of the nations on the map were miscolored and were an absolute eyesore, is there any specific cause for it?

and while i'm at it, why isn't the game loading the portrait I have selected? saved it in .dds format the same way the tutorial did, same dimensions and all

[slim canyon]

you forgot a bracket in the color file of the mod

[fathom mango]

you are a savior

i forgot that bottom bracket

tysm

[slim canyon]

np

i had the same problem

[fathom mango]

so I'm now adding templates and I'm using Luxembourg's as a base, what does this # symbolize? description?

[burnt mantle]

Is your colour file exactly in "/common/countries/colors.txt"?

[fathom mango]

yep

the color issue is fixed now

i forgot that bracket above ger

[faint lichen]

how do I access the error log for linux? neither clicking the error icon or typing it in console brings it up

[burnt mantle]

is a comment, a string that the game ignores

[fathom mango]

so it doesn't matter what I put for it?

[burnt mantle]

yup

[burnt mantle]

don't you have a documents folder?

[faint lichen]

I do

[burnt mantle]

There's no "Paradox Games" folder?

[burnt mantle]

The game stores various log files in your HOI4 user folder:
Windows: "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\logs"
Linux: "local/share/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/logs"

try this

[fathom mango]

did I do this right? making an infantry division template and I don't know what I'm doing

I just used other templates to piece together what does what

and what does this do?

[faint lichen]

it works thx chief

[fathom mango]

and do I need to do anything in any other files or is it just in units?

[fathom mango]

i'm just gonna pull the plug on that for now, I just wanna figure out why my leader portrait doesn't show up

[pallid lotus]

Hi!

Where can I change a release nation requirements? Like for USSR - you can't release nation until you complete a special focus.

[burnt mantle]

I think the requirements somewhere in country file in common

[fathom mango]

when y'all make custom nations what directory do you use for the image? the full C:\whatever or just the file name?

and do you put .dds at the end?

[burnt mantle]

Tomorrow i ill check it

[burnt mantle]

Did you mean custom cntry?

[fathom mango]

yeah

you get the point, i'm asking because nothing I try works on getting the portrait to load

should be this

that was supposed to embed

there

[burnt mantle]

It's the leader's portrait, and it changes in some folder in the common, if you don't decide by tomorrow morning, I'll have a look (not at the computer now)

[fathom mango]

do I have to change something outside of gfx>leaders>[tag]?

[burnt mantle]

Maybe, try this for now

[fathom mango]

try what?

[mystic cargo]

Tell me everyone else has seen the Seinfeld Mod.

no but hopefully in the new dlc a proper surface fleet will be viable

[novel raptor]

Yeah, it appears that it will at least make the research tab in terms of navy modules a bit slimmer, so gathering the modules you need for strong captial ship designs isn't as tedious as it is right now. Hope they change a bit more in terms of balancing

No idea look up less lag on steam workshop

This?

[honest eagle]

Err what’s the one next to it

With the high star count

[honest eagle]

Oh it was that one… but it’s outdated now

[graceful patio]

I’ll see if it still works

I have a few outdated mods that work

[honest eagle]

Ok

If you sort by most popular it would probably help

[graceful patio]

So it still works but the first day is really slow. Then the option of how to speed up the game comes up and it’s much faster.

[honest eagle]

That’s good

[faint lichen]

[buoyant dove]

yea but that isnt how you replace individual files

[faint lichen]

yes

I mean

it works

so

it is how you do it

[buoyant dove]

you also definetly dont have multiple replace paths in {}

[faint lichen]

I have no clue who put that there lol, but it is what it is

it's all good chief

[faint lichen]

you sure the officer corps stuff is considered ideas?

[buoyant dove]

yes

[faint lichen]

ok thx

that is weird, I have no files that would replace it

[buoyant dove]

you have a replace path for common/ideas

so unless you added them

they are gonna be replaced

[faint lichen]

I havent had this issue before, so thats why this is weird

I've had it like that for pretty much the entire mod development

hey

[faint lichen]

ignore the great war countries, i just got reminded as i was about to start the game

[stuck mist]

common/bookmarks

For that you just need to list their tag, for the minor nations they must have a unique focus tree to show

[humble cedar]

don't they also have to be forced as a major nation for them to be in the bookmark ?

[obtuse condor]

Cursed flag?

[humble cedar]

nah that looks cool

[stuck mist]

No?

They just need to have their tag listed

[obtuse condor]

For the Pacific German Empire.

[stuck mist]

If you wanted you could have Tannu Tuva, Uruguay, Italy, and Sri Lanka up there

[humble cedar]

nice.

is hoi4 modding easier than ck2?

[stuck mist]

Never modded ck2 but probably

[humble cedar]

what about focus trees?

[stuck mist]

What about them

[humble cedar]

are they easy to make, cause i've been thinking of making my little "Imperium" i made a country in hoi4.

[stuck mist]

I mean if you can learn from tutorials, the wiki, and base game files, yeah

The hardest part most of the time is designing them to be fun, balanced, and unique

[humble cedar]

well that's going to be kind of hard for me to make it balanced.

[stuck mist]

To make it balanced you play test it

If you can barrel roll over everyone it's op

[humble cedar]

speed 1000000 attack 100000 defense 100000 moment

[stuck mist]

If you die every time you play it's probably too weak

I mean if you're doing a meme mod then maybe

But if you want it to actually be somewhat serious then you need balance

[humble cedar]

well i don't think this looks like a meme right :

it's basicly a fully purple byzantium.

(im obsessed with purple)

[obtuse condor]

Should the exiled Spanish government be able to get Gibraltar through a focus?

Basically the British still hold onto it even though their Empire is still collapsing

[humble cedar]

what mod are we talking about?

[obtuse condor]

My mod.

LGE

[humble cedar]

wait i said the wrong thing

uh, what's the year of the mod?

[humble cedar]

I mean, they should own Morocco for the exiled spanish government to do that don't you think ?

[obtuse condor]

Yeah they do

The British won’t give up Gibraltar unless the Marxists come to power.

Or if the Left Coalition wins the election

[humble cedar]

so when the marxists come to power people rise against them and they start revolting?

in different parts of the empire?

[obtuse condor]

No the Marxists just decolonize further.

[humble cedar]

could i get a little details on the backstory of the Exiled Spanish Government, your mod is starting to interest me.

[obtuse condor]

Following the East Slavic War and the rise of Marxism in Western Europe the British simply couldn’t afford to maintain the Empire and at threat of a Marxist revolution the British slowly started decolonize.

Leading up to the East Slavic War Spain and Portugal had Marxist and left-wing revolutions many Spanish and Portuguese nationalists went into exile as Spain and Portugal unified into the Iberian Combined Communes

[humble cedar]

so the exiled Nationalist governements are in a faction against the "ICC" ?

Intresting, i see what this is getting at.

a western revolution, every nation is taken over by marxism, and the nationalist exiled governments are fighting to "regain" their homelands ?

[obtuse condor]

Mostly.

National Socialism still rose in Germany under Anton Drexler.

Hitler was assassinated in the Night of Long Knives.

Eastern European Marxism is practically gone split between the National Marxists under Zhukov and then the NKVD State of Moscow under Yezhov

[humble cedar]

had Hitler already joined the NSDAP before he was assasinated or did Anton Drexler decide to just "create" National Socialism

[obtuse condor]

Hitler had joined the NSDAP and had a similar rise of power for himself and Germany

But he was assassinated by Drexler and the SA cementing his power.

[humble cedar]

welp i guess in this timeline he wasn't so lucky after all.

[obtuse condor]

Nope.

[humble cedar]

lemme guess, there is no SCW in your mod?

[obtuse condor]

Like what do you mean?

Spanish Civil War?

[humble cedar]

yeah.

[obtuse condor]

Never heard it called SCW lol

Sorry.

[humble cedar]

technically it doesn't "Happen" because it's already happening.

[humble cedar]

it's alright lmao

[obtuse condor]

No instead Ireland has a similar situation.

[humble cedar]

Damn, never though i'd see ireland have a civil war in a mod.

[obtuse condor]

Yeah it’s split between the Catholic Falangists, the Irish Republic, the Irish Marxists and the British Loyalists.

[humble cedar]

have you created new regions for Ireland at least?

[obtuse condor]

I’m going to definitely do that

Ireland is going to be a lot more divided

[humble cedar]

yeah, having 4 regions like normal hoi4 would basically be a disaster.

[obtuse condor]

Northern Ireland was (against the Loyalists will) was given back to Ireland.

But that’s the Britishes first focus to start the political focus tree.

[humble cedar]

you should give every Irish country the spanish civil war modifier thingy ,where they get -100% Surrender Limit (or smth)

[obtuse condor]

They must and only can return Northern Ireland

[obtuse condor]

Yeah

[humble cedar]

you are actually very smart on how everything will play out.

[obtuse condor]

The lore doc is 75 pages and continuously updated and added lol

[humble cedar]

brilliant.

what about greece, have you got anything planned for them?

[obtuse condor]

The idea for the mod started out as “what if Trotsky came to power instead of Stalin?”

Greece is going to be a hotbed of revolution. They can also be the one to start the Third Balkan War to liberate Yugoslavia

[humble cedar]

by "liberate" you mean.?

[obtuse condor]

I mean liberate from the Italians.

Following World War 1 and the success of the Italians (actually breaking the frontline) they were given hefty land grabs in Yugoslavia

[humble cedar]

Finnaly someone who makes the italians manage something.

so if greece succeeds they will be able to make a balkan federation of some sorts ?

[obtuse condor]

They’ll either be able to make New East Rome, The Balkan Republic or the Balkan People’s Republic or just make the Balkans independent. It all depends on the path Greece takes.

[humble cedar]

well if i ever play your mod im going Eastern Rome lmao

[obtuse condor]

The Italians Balkans is actually an “independent” (as in it’s called the Italian Balkans and is a puppet of Italy) but as it’s own focus tree and paths.

[humble cedar]

what about the anatolian wars?, did greece succeed against Turkey? or did that never happen in your timeline of the mod?

[humble cedar]

lemme guess, a "Royalty To Italy" path and a "Break From Italy's Grasp" path.

and probably more.

[obtuse condor]

It wasn’t ever fought in this timeline

[obtuse condor]

Yes and an even more cursed path.

They remain an ally of Italy but form Serbia-Montenegro

Flag of the Italian Balkans

[humble cedar]

damn, did you design that flag all by yourself?

[obtuse condor]

Yes. All the flags in my mod are (mostly) unique

I try to make custom flags whenever I can for nations

Would you like to see some examples?

[humble cedar]

sure.

your mod surely is a unique and amazing one.

[humble cedar]

democratic germany?

[obtuse condor]

Volksrepublik Texas

[humble cedar]

oh now i see it.

[obtuse condor]

Basically Texas becomes a New Democratic Germany

[humble cedar]

Nice, what about the other flag?

[obtuse condor]

French People’s Republic

[humble cedar]

ooo, nice

i love the flag design

you can still see the french flag, probably honouring the french revolution.

[obtuse condor]

Falangist Ireland

[humble cedar]

Intresting.

how did falangism reach ireland, isn't it an ideology from Spain?

[obtuse condor]

It’s a very Catholic oriented ideology when you really read about it.

[humble cedar]

yeah i just did a bit research about it.

[obtuse condor]

Few more flags for you

[humble cedar]

I've seen this bulgarian flag before.

[obtuse condor]

Did someone already do it?

[humble cedar]

i see 3 Russian flag
1 angolan one??
1 french one
an Israelian one
an american state flag
and one from africa i pressume?

[humble cedar]

it looks similar to one, my head might be tripping tho.

[obtuse condor]

It’s based on the East German flag

The two Russian flags are for the Regency of Russia.

They invite a George VI to be the new Tsar or they invite Wilhelm III to be the new Tsar.

[humble cedar]

so russia is the stronghold of monarchism in your mod?

[sinful lotus]

Those are sick flags

[obtuse condor]

Or they can retain the regency and that’s how they get Kolchak.exe (secret path)

[obtuse condor]

Just the Regency in Siberia pretty much

And the Prussian New Guinea

[humble cedar]

lemme guess, Wilhelm the 2nd is there?

[sinful lotus]

Do you have a concept map yet?

[humble cedar]

oh yeah, show us if possible.

[obtuse condor]

I sadly don’t yet.

I’m planning on making it soon hopefully. A lot of this is concept in my head

[sinful lotus]

Damnn, what you gonna call the mod and when's planned release? If you know already

[obtuse condor]

Le Gran Era

[sinful lotus]

Id be interested in checking it out

[humble cedar]

i see great potentional in your mod tbh.

[obtuse condor]

It started out as just a name to call it until one was chosen but it slowly evolved into the name of the mod

Kolchak.exe

Secret path for Regency of Russia

[sinful lotus]

Damnnn that's sick

Obviously it's alt hist, is it based of off if so and so happened or is it just your own fresh idea?

[humble cedar]

he mentioned it had something to do with Trotsky getting in power instead of Stalin

[sinful lotus]

Oooh

[humble cedar]

i've also made some flags myself, but they are all purple and 2 of them are just recoloured versions of existing flags

want to take a look.?

[sinful lotus]

Sure, I'm always happy to see content

[humble cedar]

the byzantine ones just gave the idea of "Styles" or "Stages" if you call it so.

[sinful lotus]

Honestly I love it

[humble cedar]

if i ever do make a mod, i'll make the little Imperium start off with this one.

[humble cedar]

and as it progresses in the focus tree it'll evolve to this and eventually to the first picture

[obtuse condor]

Those are sick

I love purple on flags

[humble cedar]

i've overused purple on them don't you think lmao

[sinful lotus]

I want to make a mod, but I have no experience and don't know where to start 🤣

[humble cedar]

well i call my little empire "The Infernian Imperium"

a combination of Latin and English.

[obtuse condor]

Neither do I. This is my first mod.

[sinful lotus]

Yes

[sinful lotus]

Lol

[obtuse condor]

I wanted to learn a new skill and put my writing to use

[humble cedar]

well i think you'll be quite succesfull in making this mod.

[obtuse condor]

I hope so lol

I don’t even care if it gets big I just wanted to make something to show my vision

[humble cedar]

i've also made 2 other flags as well, both based on german-styled flags.

[obtuse condor]

I’ve always loved Red Flood, TWR and Kaiserreich

[obtuse condor]

That second one is super cool

[sinful lotus]

Me too, how do you even make mods, is it coding language based like C# or is it different?

[obtuse condor]

From what I’ve read and seen it doesn’t really require coding

Just alterations of files and stuff like that

You’ll need some skills for graphic design

[sinful lotus]

Ahh so paradox give you the building blocks and you put them together

[humble cedar]

lego with extra steps

[obtuse condor]

Yeah

Lol

[sinful lotus]

Yeah lol

[obtuse condor]

Some of my focus icons

(Obviously the ones in game won’t have white background)

[humble cedar]

I've also made a pretty cursed israelian flag, which im not going to post here cause it has a "peace" symbol on it, i dunno i just felt bored and put it on there.

[sinful lotus]

Let me give these captioms

[obtuse condor]

lol

[humble cedar]

i already see the march against communism focus.

[sinful lotus]

Prussian undisturbed isolation

[sinful lotus]

German islands

[sinful lotus]

Australian germans

[sinful lotus]

Nazi-monarcho-communists?

[sinful lotus]

Molotov-rib

[sinful lotus]

Nazi Soviet union

[sinful lotus]

VIVA LA RESISTANCE

[sinful lotus]

Run forest run

Boom

[humble cedar]

most of them make sense.

[obtuse condor]

You were closest with this one lol

[humble cedar]

the third one i'd probably go with like

德州共和国？

oops

[sinful lotus]

Hmmm

[humble cedar]

i forgot i've set it to chinese.

[sinful lotus]

Interesting choice

[obtuse condor]

First three are for Prussian New Guinea

[humble cedar]

thank you.

[obtuse condor]

The two German Nazi ones are for the Strasserist NSDAP

The next one is for the National Marxist Triumph in Indochina under Ho Chi Minh

Last two are to empower the Knights of Latvia and the overthrow of Tukhachevsky

[humble cedar]

I knew it it had to do something with latvia.

[sinful lotus]

Ahh yes i see the Latvian flag

[crimson coral]

are there any hoi4 map creators/designers/mnaker that i can use

[sinful lotus]

Best place to ask would probably be #tech-support

[buoyant dove]

Why would it be

its clearly a modding question

[fathom mango]

how would I add starting units? I wanna make it so my modded country starts out with 10 or so units

and a question about focuses

I'm making a focus tree for my modded austria hungary and the video i'm watching is outdated, the pinned comment says "An important note due to changes to localization in version 1.11+, for the localization to work properly please move all the files inside the localisation folder into a folder called 'english' for the localization to appear properly." can someone rephrase that? where do I create the "english" folder and by all files does that include the folders?

all the other videos are just as old if not older

so I'm stumped

[graceful patio]

What’s the mod most people use for timelapses

[stuck mist]

All languages have their own folders within localisation

So localisation/english has every English locale file, while localisation/spanish has every Spanish locale file, etc.

[stuck mist]

history/units

Also you shouldn't have any folders from pre-1.11 in your localisation folder?

[tulip iris]

I assume this is the place to ask for mod recommendations?

[fathom mango]

I know, I was saying the tutorial was outdated because it was pre 1.11

so I'm still working on the focus tree, and I'm gonna make a "reclaim south tyrol" focus for my austro hungarian empire which will take south tyrol back from italy, what would be the completion reward line? I assume "setowner_39 or something?

the idea is that Italy was awarded south tyrol in some weird AU where austria hungary lost but survived, and the national focus will be to reclaim south tyrol for the austro hungarian empire

[stuck mist]

Do they get it without asking Italy, just annexing it from nowhere?

[fathom mango]

pretty much

just complete the national focus and you'll become owner of south tyrol

[fathom mango]

i tried add state claim but I wanna actually become occupier/owner of the state, not just have a claim on it

[humble cedar]

well you could make it so italy get's an event and the event is like "Austria-Hungary Is Demanding South Tyrol Back"

because just straight up annexing it with or without italy's consent is weird to say the least, but if you're planning to use this mod for yourself only then keep it the way it is.

[stuck mist]

!wiki commands

Oh wait.. this server doesn't have that

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Commands

[high shadow]

is there a preformance map mod

[bright hedge]

there's one that can up your fps and reduce some lag, called FPS Map

[little sedge]

yo, is there anyway you can make flags change over time? For example, this Mongolian flag was used from 1936-1940, but then it changed to a new flag from 1940 being. Is there anyway i can stimulate this process and make the flag change from the time being?

[buoyant dove]

set_cosmetic_tag

[little sedge]

thank you

[round atlas]

I am making a civil war currently, I want both sides to start of in the civil war with units. This is the code I used

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/753418214381453443/1006967744190750830/unknown.png

however it spawns the unit twice for both nations in the same tile

what did I do wrong?

[fathom mango]

is there any way to automatically research something when completing a focus? making a reform air force focus thats supposed to make fighters available right away

[round atlas]

yes

set_technology = {
basic_ship_hull_cruiser = 1
basic_torpedo = 1
basic_medium_battery = 1
}

something like this

[fathom mango]

alright, I'll try it out in a sec

thanks

no matter what I try I can't get this to work and I don't even know why

oh i think I fixed it

just rewrote it and it worked

anyone know what the hawker hurricane name and variant is in the files?

making a focus which will send the player a few hundred hurricanes if they befriend britain

[round atlas]

should be in technology filkes

files

and or you could try to recreate via raj focus that gives free fighters

or so

[minor mist]

If I have two mods, one that adds three states and the other adds two, what files do I have to change/add to make them compatible? The states are in opposite sides of the world

[faint lichen]

how would I assign terrain to a tile?

[patent agate]

yes.

[astral lake]

map\definition.csv

[royal patio]

as you may know, in the "characters" folder in hoi4's files, each country has their own Text document where every character of that country gets their attibutes + a path for their portrait. I want to change the "August Mussolini" portrait, but couldn't find any trace of the character as a whole in the "ITA" document (the one, where every italian leader should be in)...
Does anybody know, where he is located in the game files?

[mystic cargo]

Any modders here looking for ideas cause' I got a hell of an idea.

[bright hedge]

not a modder, but what is that idea?

[stiff widget]

can you give me any ideas for my first modding

[astral lake]

He's in the common/decisions/formable_nation_decisions.txt line 2536, he's not a character but instead your old create_country_leader effect.

[astral lake]

That's an extremely contextual problem.
Do those states add provinces then you'll need to merge the province.bmp together.
You'll have to make sure their id's don't overlap (provinces and states)
Any references to those states from either mods will have to match their new id's if they are changed.
You'll probably have to generate unit positions and building positions.

It's a bit of work and that's most likely not all of what would be required.

[bright hedge]

hmm interesting

[obtuse condor]

I want to remove this button how do i do that

[astral lake]

The build civ button?

[obtuse condor]

yes

i dont want countries to be able to construct new civs

[astral lake]

You cant remove it, you'll only be able to cover it.

Then you somehow have to figure out how to make the AI not build Civ's.

[obtuse condor]

theres no way to remove the ability to construct new civs?

[cedar anvil]

i think its 'possible', but also hard

[obtuse condor]

i dont think its realistic that you can create a big industry so easily

thats why i want to remove the ability to construct new civs

[astral lake]

Maybe you could try making like a hidden tech

That "unlocks" building civs, that may stop it from being built like Nuclear Reactors

But the tech being hidden means it cannot be researched

No idea if that'd work tho.

[obtuse condor]

Im searching some peoples to create "perfect ww2 mod"... Im novice modder, and I dont know how to create mods alone. I can do states or whatever else when I only do some research, but I can't do it myself... so when someone want to help, dm me and I will say what we will do

[faint lichen]

thanks chief

[young estuary]

Just one question: how do you go about discovering these politicians and unknown people? I'm making a mod that takes place in the Victorian era and I needed a proto-fascist leader for the UK

but I don't know where to look for politicians who had such tendencies

[faint lichen]

I guess start and look at the political situation of the day, and then maybe look at the leader for the more extreme parties.

[young estuary]

hm...

[royal patio]

ah nice, thank you! Do you also know, where Lord Edward Halifax is?

also some other country leaders: Rajani Palme Dutt, Fallen Government and some other british leaders, for some reason I cant find them in the ENG file

[obtuse condor]

I haven't ever made any mods or anything like that. Should i start?(is it worth it?)

hey! I have been trying to make a hoi4 mod which adds custom countries. I followed the "iron workshop" tutorial, and I even changed the localisation thing but the country still wont show up. Does anyone know how to fix it ? If you need to see the code I can send it

[burnt mantle]

Try to add "buildings_max_level_factor=1.000" line to the your state

[burnt mantle]

Ex:

[river frigate]

Don't worry i have it figured out now.

[river frigate]

Don't worry i have it figured out now.

[obtuse condor]

Non existent

[burnt mantle]

Can you tell me how? Maybe I'll have that problem too, as I'm about to add new states

[river frigate]

yeah in the same group as manpower, i used "state_category:large_city" (for example)

[obtuse condor]

(people who havent watched the youtube guide talk)

(There would pretty much be no need of help from other people if people had the brain cells to watch youtube guides)

[fathom mango]

wait hoi4 is on console?

[edgy solar]

you'd have to download them through the paradox mod site itself

[edgy solar]

no just on game pass for pc

[cinder canyon]

No pc only

I think

[lyric venture]

What

What language is prohibited on this server?

Ohh

[cinder canyon]

well all profanities

[lyric venture]

Yea but it says stuff like "descriptor of file not available" or "doesn't support your current patch"

[lyric venture]

Ye

[lyric venture]

How do I fix this

[edgy solar]

um i've never used the site itself so you're better off asking in the dissucsions of the paradox site, or you could go to reddit for an answer

hello

i need help

[slender brook]

Hello, what for

[thick cypress]

i am busy making a mod for a focus tree

and my focuses don't appear

i have tried using reload focus

but it doesn't help

[slender brook]

What do your focus positions look like

[thick cypress]

        focus = {
        id = form_ossewabrandwag
        available = {
        has_non_agression_pact_with = GER
        has_ideology = conservatism
        is_major = no
        }
        
        bypass = {
        }
        
        x = 2
        y = 25
        
        cost = 10
        search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_WAR_SUPPORT}
        completion_reward = {
        }
        
    }

[slender brook]

Ok, that seems fine

Hold on, checking the bracketing

Bracketing seems fine

Can you send the start of the file

focus_tree = { and such

[thick cypress]

search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_STABILITY}

search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_WAR_SUPPORT}

search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_MANPOWER}

search_filters = {FOCUS_ANNEXATION}

focus_tree = {
id = south_african_focus

country = {
    factor = 0
    
    modifier = {
        add = 10
        tag = SAF
    }

default = no

continuous_focus_position = ( x = 50 y = 1500 )

[slender brook]

What is your initial_show_position

[thick cypress]

i don't know what that is

[slender brook]

Try setting the initial_show_position

Man I probably won't be great help since it's been ages that I made focus trees

        focus = KFP_industrial_effort
    }``` Example

Basically it starts centred on it

[thick cypress]

oh alright

[slender brook]

Oh also check your error log

[thick cypress]

how do i do that

oh

wait

i see now

[thick cypress]

i just see a whole lot of these

and "unexpected token" in my script

[slender brook]

That'll likely be the problem

What is the unexpected token

[thick cypress]

i have nothing in my gfx > interface folder

is that an issue

[slender brook]

Not for now, it should default to unassigned iirc

[thick cypress]

yep

my south africa english yml file is also missing

[slender brook]

Yeah localisation also shouldn't matter for now

Anyways what is the unexpected token

[thick cypress]

let me see....

11:53:56][persistent.cpp:48]: Error: "Unexpected token: bypass, near line: 28" in file: "common/national_focus/south_africa.txt" near line: 29

[11:53:56][persistent.cpp:48]: Error: "Unexpected token: x, near line: 31" in file: "common/national_focus/south_africa.txt" near line: 31

it's about my script

[slender brook]

Yeah, broken brackets I believe

Post your file

[thick cypress]

### search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_WAR_SUPPORT}
### search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_MANPOWER}
### search_filters = {FOCUS_ANNEXATION}


focus_tree = {
    id = south_african_focus

        factor = 0
        
        modifier = {
            add = 10
            tag = SAF
        }
    
    default = no

    continuous_focus_position = ( x = 50 y = 1500 )
    

    initial_show_position = {
        focus = {
        id = form_ossewabrandwag
        available = {
        has_non_agression_pact_with = GER
        has_ideology = conservatism
        is_major = no
        }
        
        bypass = {
        }
        
        x = 2
        y = 25
        
        cost = 10
        search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_WAR_SUPPORT}
        completion_reward = {
        }
        
    }

[slender brook]

Yup, quite a few broken brackets here

needs another one after modifier = { add = 10 tag = SAF }

And two more at the end

Basically just forgot to close a few of the blocks

[thick cypress]

ohhh

ok

it didn't work

[slender brook]

Odd. Do those errors persist

[thick cypress]

no

14:08:05][triggerimplementation.cpp:3132]: Invalid focus scripted in trigger. has_completed_focus = SAF_police_windhoek (common/national_focus/uk.txt:7004: has_completed_focus)

there is this

which is confusing...

[slender brook]

Basically that is an invalid trigger

[thick cypress]

ohhh it's from UK

i tried restarting the session

crashed

interesting....

[slender brook]

Well that's not good

What did you change

[thick cypress]

nothing

i just added the bracket at the end you told me to

ok

i just reloaded the game

and there's still nothing

i think i know what's causing this

it's probably a built in feature whereby if you remove the DLC requirement for the file it will effectively stop anything from changing the focuses

because the south african focus tree is a generic one on default

[slender brook]

I don't believe so, I think they just take down mods that do that

RT56 does it all the time

[thick cypress]

oh yeah

ofc

[slender brook]

Send your code over again

    cost = 10
    search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_WAR_SUPPORT}
    completion_reward = {
    }
    
    }
}

}

[slender brook]

Yeah you needed two more at the bottom

So one more now

[thick cypress]

oh alright

[slender brook]

Hold on, I'll fix your formatting

[thick cypress]

thank you 🙂

[slender brook]

    id = south_african_focus

    country = {
        factor = 0
        modifier = {
            add = 10
            tag = SAF
        }

    default = no

    continuous_focus_position = ( x = 50 y = 1500 )
        
    focus = {
        id = form_ossewabrandwag
        available = {
            has_non_agression_pact_with = GER
            has_ideology = conservatism
            is_major = no
        }

        bypass = {
        }

        x = 2
        y = 25

        cost = 10
        search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_WAR_SUPPORT}
        completion_reward = {
        }

        }
    }
}```
Hopefully this should work

[thick cypress]

alright

unfortunately not

lets check the position of the focus

i'll rewrite the code

[slender brook]

Oh my lord

continuous_focus_position = ( x = 50 y = 1500 )
These are meant to be curly brackets

[slender brook]

Ping

[thick cypress]

ohhhhh

[slender brook]

Why are we so stupid
It took us half an hour to figure this out

[thick cypress]

I SEE IT

LOL

IT'S AT THE BOTTOM

[slender brook]

This almost feels like a skit, where two people bumble around trying to fix stuff when the answer was literally so obvious

[thick cypress]

yeah

but now how do i get it to the top is the question.

its x and y position is obviously broken

[slender brook]

Decrease the y position

[thick cypress]

ahh i see it now

at the top

thanks!

now i am going to figure out how to connect them

cya!

[slender brook]

Alright, when in doubt, check the basegame files

[thick cypress]

k

[thick cypress]

alright

a new problem has arisen

i can't find the south_africa_l_english.yml

file

@slender brook can you help?

[slender brook]

Sure, I can try and look for it

It's part of this

[thick cypress]

oh

what file is that

i can't find it

@slender brook

[slender brook]

It's in localisation

localisation/english

[thick cypress]

alright

"focus_l_english"?

is this correct

what i have added

[slender brook]

remove the ""

[thick cypress]

alright

uh oh

l_english:
SAF_form_ossewabrandwag:0 "Form the Ossewabrandwag!"
SAF_form_ossewabrandwag_desc:0 "The Ossewabrandwag is an organization which is Pro-German and Anti-British. The goal of the Ossewabrandwag is to destroy the National Party and establish a pro-German influence over South Africa."

i don't know what i've done wrong

[astral lake]

Your focus id is form_ossewabrandwag

Not SAF_form_ossewabrandwag

[thick cypress]

oh alright

nope

didn't help

[prisma mesa]

anybody knows why when i try to turn on a mod i just get vanilla hoi4

[obtuse condor]

Guys i need help. Can someone help me to create my own country mod. Somehow its not working well

The states i gave to my country looks empty when i run the gamr

[fathom mango]

setowner

[astral lake]

You have to set it in state history

[obtuse condor]

Is this the answer of my question?

[obtuse condor]

How?

[pale kernel]

Mod might be outdated

Can anyone post a mod that gives Canada a better focus tree then the dlc?

[cinder canyon]

I think the kaisereich mod has a pretty good focus tree loook it up you can rebuild the uk with it

And it boosts you every military domain

[pale kernel]

Kaiseriech crash’s for me

[obtuse condor]

most mods dont work

i play with game pass

road tp 56 dont work

thousand week reich neither

how do i fix

[thorny pond]

I have been trying to make a hoi4 mod for a week or so. The code seems to work right, but I cant make it work. I even trying to copy and paste the files from a different mod and it still didnt work, making me realise it isnt a codding problem. I dont know what I am doing wrong. I created the mod in the launcher, pasted the files and then uploaded the mod to both steam and paradox. I added it to the playset and enabled it. Have I skipped a step and I cant make it work ?

[pale kernel]

Ye

Half of them won’t even download

[outer jungle]

im not sure where to ask but does anyone know the name of the mod where the uk surrendered after france capitulated

it was some alt history thing

[buoyant dove]

There's a few

Probably TWR is what you are thinking of

[outer jungle]

Yeah it was thanks

[pale kernel]

TWR?

[buoyant dove]

thousand week reich

[pale kernel]

Ahh

[true compass]

I need help with a mod…
I am doing a portrait mod that changes some countries’ leader portraits

The mod works when enabled on local, but not working when enabled on workshop

[urban anchor]

someone can give the script for adding daily popularity for a ideology pls, i couldnt find it

[slender brook]

Modders can’t enable their own mod via workshop. They have to use the local version. Subscribing to your own mod can also cause major issues concerning updating the mod

[wanton solstice]

Random question: did anyone else after messing with mods get a turkey called: "Socialism" or "Liberalism" if yes what mod caused it and do you know why it happens?

[slender brook]

I have seen that before on the subreddit, but I am unsure what mod it is

I would assume the issue occurs due to broken localisation tags

[true compass]

that’s weird because the previous version i created worked when i subscribed to it

and also a friend of mine subscribed to the mod and it wasn’t working either

[slender brook]

Well then try reuploading/updating the mod

[true compass]

i tried that many times…

[wanton solstice]

It seems like a general broken mod thing it happens frequently with random country placement and ive seen it happen when trying to play a modded save on vanilla

Also its democratic turkey 😄

[slender brook]

Can you send the mod over to me? I might try tinkering with it

[slender brook]

<ideology>_drift = x
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

[urban anchor]

thanks

[slender brook]

You don't enable the workshop variant, you enable the local variant

[slender brook]

So basically, to give countries states, you have to set it in the files in the folder history/state
Copy over the states from basegame and change the owner and core to your country

[prisma mesa]

ohhhhhh

yea they were all outdated

[slender brook]

From what update are they

[pale kernel]

Makes sense

[prisma mesa]

or i think they are outdated

[slender brook]

What update are they from

Actually you have me blocked, this is probably me speaking into the void

[prisma mesa]

i cant check it right now

i tried playing le deluge where napoleon won it turns on vanilla and then i try another mod and it works

[slender brook]

Hmm. That mod isn't ancient, but I think pre-NSB

Damn NSB is almost a year old

Way older than I thought

[slender brook]

I just tested it and it works fine; This is an issue originating on your PC

[prisma mesa]

ok

[amber sandal]

how do i change the backround screen on the main menu?

i went into the DLC gfx and the regular laodingscreen gfx file and rename my file, but it isnt working

[obtuse condor]

Should I put Nestle into my mod?

[obtuse condor]

What is basegame

[slender brook]

Basegame means the basegame files

So not modded

Just the stuff that comes with the game

[obtuse condor]

Oh ok i got it

[obtuse condor]

What is the folder history/state it’s in the mod file?

I should edit basegame files?

[slender brook]

Ok, here's what you do:
In your mod folder, create the folder history, then in the history folder, create the folder states

[slender brook]

After that, you go to the basegame files at steamapps/common/Hearts of Iron 4
Here, you go to history/states and from there, you have to copy over the states you want your new country to control

Paste them into the history/states in your mod

Then, open them up and change them to have the tag of the country you have

[sharp valve]

I am attempting to create a faction through a focus tree between a non-aligned germany and base game italy (fascist), but italy will leave the faction (of course). Germany is the one that has the focus to both invite italy and create the faction. Is there anyway (like an idea) to make the ai italy coded not to leave the faction? I was wondering if I could do something with the "strategic reasons to be hostile to" stuff but I don't know how to mod that.

[obtuse condor]

Thanks

[slender brook]

ai_strategy

    enable = {
        original_tag = KRI
        NOT = {
            AND  = {
                has_completed_focus = KRI_anti_chicken_diplomacy
                NOT = {
                    KFP = { 
                        has_completed_focus = KFP_scythe_behind
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        has_opinion_modifier = kfp_kri_alliance
    }
    abort = {
    }
    ai_strategy = {
        type = alliance
        id = "KFP"            
        value = 150
    }
}```
Here's an example

It's the same philosphy

You just need to get the right conditions and tags in there

[slender brook]

Oh right, you also need to make it occur both ways

Otherwise the other country will just kick them out

[royal delta]

Anyone knows mods with good.focus tree?

I created a new ideology. How to select the leader and the flag of countries when they choose that ideology?

[livid loom]

Guys i did something making a new event
and in every news event it comes like this
can someone pls help me?

[ionic vine]

Hello, I'm trying to modify some mod, just to learn...
I'm coding the starting ships for a nation with "create_equipment_variant", with the previous definition of new ship types (archetype = ship_hull_heavy) etc.
How I can decide which types will be available as actual Production ships and those showing up only as obsolete?
Working with "obsolete = yes" and "parent_version = 0" is frustrating... a link to a useful guide is appreciated too 🙂

[lyric venture]

Please

I was watching a bokoen1 vid and i was wondering what mods he was using, he seemed to have way more factories than he should, such as 180 mils on japan when he only held mainland (this is the vid i watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqoYlF--1AM)

[edgy solar]

its the mod the group made for themselves
