okay I often have struggles finding characters (leaders to replace their civilian portrait) in their text file... Just right now I'm not able to find Neville Chamberlain, Lord Edward Halifax, Rajani Palme Dutt, Fallen Government, Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth II and Günther von Kluge in their respective text document... Why's that? Are they in another one and if yes, where? (In von Kluge's Case, i could find the character itself in the GER file, but there wasn't any mention of "civilian")

Usually you're probably going to get a better result where you ask these things on their particular server because they're going to be more familar with it or a fellow player might be.

Generally I see this channel as a an area to help with problems that are common either across all mods (installation or something) or help with modding.

I've been trying to install this mod for quite a while now but it doesn't seem to actually finish its installation. Any idea on how to fix this?

#

@slender brook please help me man... I'm suffering rn

slender brook
#

I would have no idea on that issue. Check this path

#

See if there is a folder called 699709023

#

Also, that path will vary between us

austere basalt
#

yep it's there

#

funne numero btw

slender brook
#

Ok so that means it might be downloaded but for some reason it doesn't recognise that

#

Open it up, does it look like a lot of files are in there?

austere basalt
#

it's got one folder called "common" and in that folder there r a ton of files

#

sorry folders*

#

that contain no files

#

all of these are empty

slender brook
#

Ok so that means it is not downloaded properly

#

Delete all of it, including the 699709023 folder

#

Then resubscribe to the mod

austere basalt
#

Alrighty

slender brook
#

If that doesn't work, we can try an alternate method where I download the mod and just send you the files then you put them in the folder

austere basalt
slender brook
#

Well that's definitely an issue

austere basalt
#

I believe so too...

slender brook
#

Restart PC maybe?

I'm not very sure on any of this, so this could all be for naught eventually

it made them the usual estonian flag

not

all of them

this is also weird it shows in the saves

brittle lily

it seems like the game just does not want to work for u lol, it seems like you have everything down right

#

hoi4 kinda dumb for this one

slender brook
#

What I’m thinking is maybe RLE compression

#

I think I remember that breaking flags

brittle lily
north wave
hollow needle
#

all the saves work

brittle lily
north wave
#

that shouldn't be an issue

slender brook
#

I don’t know but that is an option I see in Gimp, and I vaguely remembered it being problematic in the past. Might be wrong then

hollow needle
#

how do i disable that

#

or revert it

brittle lily
#

that makes sense, I use photoshop

brittle lily
slender brook
#

I just read on the wiki that ‘the flag file format is 32-bit and uncompressed’

#

I will do some testing

hollow needle
#

oh i might have them 16bit

#

wait

#

i just overwrote the actual files i copied

brittle lily
slender brook
#

It’s probably that they are compressed as that is the default iirc, I saw that you were using Gimp

hollow needle
#

then how do i remove it

brittle lily
#

also did this a while ago but I added in a Mapfont and changed the Capital Symbol

slender brook
#

I think you might have to manually reexport them with that option disabled

hollow needle
#

oh.

brittle lily
#

rip

hollow needle
#

disabling

Hopefully this works

I need to revamp the ideology icons in my mod

Though I do like the Marxism icon in my mod

all the default ideology flags

i also have the flags for ugria, estonia belarus and estonia finland union

but i have to go down the focus to get them

#

I kinda wanna do my own thing for icons and ideologies.

hollow needle
#

yes

obtuse condor
#

There is of course ideologies and sub-ideologies and icons inspire by other mods.

#

But I mostly try to stay original.

brittle lily
obtuse condor
#

One of the ideologies in my mod (Order System) directly inspired by TNO

is there a console command for instant focus tree

brittle lily

It does look pretty good either way

obtuse condor

It is

yes that

The name Order System started out as the placeholder name but it evolved into the name of the ideology.

are there any mods to have custom leaders

obtuse condor
slender brook
#

I believe they mean leaders they can make custom themselves, to which I do not believe so

obtuse condor
#

Seems pretty impossible for HOI4 lol

obtuse condor
#

I have a problem with custom laws. the economioc ones dont show up like intend but the millitary ones do show up

slender brook
obtuse condor
#

when I dont want them to show up unless the nation has it on

slender brook
#

That would still apply to error log, sounds like broken conditions

obtuse condor
#

this is the code for millitary ideas. I tried changing the ui thing to no on the second but it did nothing

slender brook
#

Ok so these show up despite saying always = no?

obtuse condor
#

ye

obtuse condor
#

im confused

still forum
#

and I believe you should write visible rather than available to make it not showing up

obtuse condor

#

so visble like visble = { no }?

visible = { always = no }

obtuse condor

crimson tide
#

hey, so I tried making some new states in the HOI4 nudge tool a couple weeks ago. while i made new states and gave them names with the nudge tools in the vanilla HOI4 map, i saved them

#

the problem is, i need to remove those states.

#

other mods clash with it, so they keep crashing while initializing the map due to errors in map definition

#

how do i remove states that i made using the nudge tool?

slender brook
#

Nudger saves new files to Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 4

#

There should be a states folder there

#

@crimson tide

crimson tide
#

of the folder from the nudger, i mean.

#

oh i found it

slender brook
#

Perhaps history/states?

crimson tide
#

its called "map"

slender brook
#

I see

crimson tide
#

both are there

#

both hold my old nudger states

#

so i just delete them?

#

did that, now lemme see if it works

#

i tried out that "on the steps of heaven" mod, and its renamed the states to the name of the state i made

#

how do i un-arkhangelskify the vatican?

#

turns out i mispelled "Archangelsk", which is the english pronunciation of the city. thats why both arkhangelsk state names are ones with "k" not "c"

crimson tide
#

With how downright insane most american town names are im not completely sure there isnt a place called "Arkhangelsk" in michigan

crimson tide
#

plus i think somethings wrong with the number of slots

#

should be 50, but there 2 more

cedar anvil
crimson tide
#

though obviously the SCP do not operate out of wont be "Arkhangelsk"

cedar anvil
#

i thought it was completed its develop. is those things not-in-vanilla is also included in mod?

crimson tide
#

and the integration one comes from another mod

cedar anvil
#

some things on state window and population status on right-upper side

crimson tide
#

that box with the cross and the dove?

#

thats from a coring button mod or some such

cedar anvil
#

so it won't collide with my mod pack. good to hear that

crimson tide
crimson tide
#

in exchange for -500% monthly population of that state

#

said monthly population is added to any state in brazil

#

it needs like 200% extra garrisons though

#

so non-core manpower is an unachievable dream but you can get mad industry with it

#

that box contains the total of all people you've sent to brazil

gotta try it NOW

winged wedge

It works

buoyant dove
#

However

#

In the common folder, it only checks for .txt files

#

But the game still reads some non .txt files

#

In this case, the common/ideas and common/on_actions both have files that do stuff but end in .bat instead of .txt so the game will read them but not change the checksum.

winged wedge
#

hmm

#

interesting

i don't thinks its gonna be in the workshop for very long cuz well

if it is ironman compatible could it be used in multiplayer

im trying to add a focus to japan so that if they declare on any western nation they declare on all of them to get around a bug where sometimes nations like SAF cant be called into war which screws over the allied defence.

what is the syntax for trade deal opinion factor

steady dove
obtuse condor

thats the thing

#

how do i do that

steady dove
#

history, countries

#

obviously only in your mod folder

#

this will create other problems like with events and leaders but it will basically get rid of all other countries

#

something to prevent some problems with events is you could make a tag and give all other land to that tag and have it just be a blank wasteland kinda thing

#

like what they do in TNO and the one 1800s mod

#

you would also have to give that tag an idea preventing them from building units doh

#

which i dont know how to do

#

Oh well you could just look at bulgaria's national spirits since I think Army Restrictions does that and copy the syntax for that

  2. "Bella Ciao" plays when a civil war breaks out in Italy or Mussolini is deposed.
  3. "Soviet Victory" by Andreas Waldetoft plays when the Soviets reach Berlin.

I don't need the entire song to be played either, just little clippings. If its not possible to do it like this, I'm also looking to see if these can be played when certain events are fired.
