modding

[jade mauve]

so its kind of like a delay

normally events have like a 1 day delay

[crimson wedge]

Gotcha

[jade mauve]

thats why when you complete a focus, the event that the focus told you would trigger pops up a few hours later

[crimson wedge]

Yeah I'm making a focus tree submod for a country they're not going to work on and wanted to add some flavor events

But I don't necessarily need them to fire on a specific time

Just kind of "within a year or two" kind of thing

[jade mauve]

can i ask which one?

[crimson wedge]

Cuba

[jade mauve]

oh nice

[crimson wedge]

Yeah I think most of the events will just be from the focus tree which seems more straight forward

[jade mauve]

you can make a mean time to happen, but i dont really like them

quite unreliable

[crimson wedge]

Yeah, like I'm trying to see how they do their 9/11 event since it's a bit random when it fires but I don't understand how it works

[jade mauve]

i havent checked that event

i think thats a news event, not an event exactly

they're pretty much the same but they do have some differences

[crimson wedge]

Major Terrorist attacks timetable
country_event = {
id = wot.1

is_triggered_only = yes
hidden = yes

trigger = {
    NOT = { has_government = fascism } #Just incase some tomfoolery happens
    original_tag = USA
}

option = {
    name = wot.1.a
    log = "[GetDateText]: [This.GetName]: wot.1.a executed"
    ai_chance = { factor = 100 }
    news_event = { hours = 18 id = wotnews.1 }
    country_event = { id = wot.2 hours = 12 }
    if = {
        limit = { NOT = { has_country_flag = USA_increased_intelligence_efforts } }
        random_list = {
            5 = { set_country_flag = major_terrorist_attacks_discovered }
            80 = { set_country_flag = terrorist_attacks_succeed_no_fourth_plane }
            15 = { set_country_flag = terrorist_attacks_succeed_fourth_plane }
        }
    }
    if = {
        limit = { has_country_flag = USA_increased_intelligence_efforts }
        random_list = {
            15 = { set_country_flag = major_terrorist_attacks_discovered }
            75 = { set_country_flag = terrorist_attacks_succeed_no_fourth_plane }
            10 = { set_country_flag = terrorist_attacks_succeed_fourth_plane }
        }
    }
}

}

That's their code

(sorry if I shouldn't be posting that here, although I guess it's not exactly private lol)

[jade mauve]

dont worry

[crimson wedge]

Is their option part what makes the user see the event?

[jade mauve]

no, i think its the original_tag?

the option is just the button at the bottom of the news

and i dont think thats a news event actually

i think thats a normal event

[crimson wedge]

Maybe there's some other area that shows when it starts

[jade mauve]

yeah, i dont really see the trigger there

could be in the 'on_actions' file actually

[crimson wedge]

where is that file exactly? I couldn't find it

[jade mauve]

common/on_actions/0_on_actions.txt

the file name can change

[crimson wedge]

Let's see

[jade mauve]

did someone ask where are the mods stored?

i saw it for a split second

[crimson wedge]

Yeah where did that message go? lmao

[jade mauve]

i think they deleted it

idk why tho

i could have helped XD

[crimson wedge]

I was literally looking for the file path for them lol

Anyway I think you're right, here's the code from their on_actions file (different file name as you guessed)

            USA = {
                country_event = { id = usa_vanilla.50 days = 5 }
                country_event = { id = usa_vanilla.51 days = 5 }
                country_event = { id = usa.1000 days = 120 random = 20 }
                if = {
                    limit = { has_start_date < 2016.1.1 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.3 days = 5 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.4 days = 70 random_days = 20 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.6 days = 90 random = 70 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.7 days = 1 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.9 days = 25 random = 10 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.11 days = 45 random_days = 125 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.12 days = 79 random_days = 15 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.15 days = 60 random_days = 35 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.34 days = 97 random_days = 4 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.35 days = 130 random_days = 135 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.36 days = 219 random_days = 8 }
                    country_event = { id = usa.53 days = 3 random = 2 }

                    # 9/11 Event
                    country_event = { id = wot.1 days = 620 random_days = 732 }

So what exactly does this part mean:

country_event = { id = wot.1 days = 620 random_days = 732 }

[jade mauve]

i think it means that for the usa, the event 'wot.1' will trigger at a minimum of 620 days after the game starts and a max of 620+732 days after the game starts

thats my guess

[crimson wedge]

Okay cool

Super helpful, thanks

[jade mauve]

so it would be like telling the computer "ok, you got this event and it will trigger 620 days after the game starts, then you choose"

alternatively, it could mean that the event will trigger at a minimum of 620 and then have a range of 732-620 days to trigger

[jade mauve]

i think this last option is the most likely

i dont think 9/11 is supposed to happen 3 years after 2001

so, the event will have a minimum date of 620 days after the game starts and then it could trigger in any day after that until reaching 113 days after the 620 days have passed

[crimson wedge]

Awesome

Yeah it happened as late as 2003 in my recent game lol

Yeah I think I'll focus on events triggered by focus tree completions

Which is probably pretty easy, right? Just limit it to "triggered only" code and then it won't fire otherwise?

[jade mauve]

in theory

[crimson wedge]

Hah what

[jade mauve]

events are kinda tricky, specially with paradox's code, so some things i still dont fully understand

[crimson wedge]

So if through a focus tree I have an effect to fire a specific event, it might not?

[jade mauve]

oh, in this case it MUST trigger

if not, then buddy, the code is against you

its just that the triggered_only can be a headache in other cases

but if you only plan to do so through focuses then you need to use it

its quite easy to mod events with focuses

[crimson wedge]

Ahh I see

Okay good

Maybe I should just focus on those for now and if I'm feeling ambitious, I'll add more "random" events later

[jade mauve]

sure, go ahead

now, i'll take a break of a few hours from modding

see ya soon

[crimson wedge]

Thanks for your help

[jade mauve]

np

[halcyon portal]

whats the syntax to change a country name after a focus is complete?

[slender brook]

You're probably thinking of a cosmetic tag.
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Cosmetic_tag_modding

[halcyon portal]

oh

thx

i was looking through the code and saw something that said cosemetic tag

[mighty saffron]

what should i pick

[magic shoal]

what mod?

[obtuse condor]

MOD?

[mighty saffron]

millenium dawn

[obtuse condor]

Not even a sub mod?

[mighty saffron]

nope

[obtuse condor]

Also idk if this a bug but I just got off MD and for some reason whenever I start as China or anything, I have zero equipment

[mighty saffron]

btw what are some good sub mods

for md

[obtuse condor]

There aren't any anymore

[mighty saffron]

oof

[obtuse condor]

They all got moved to Novum Vexillum, which is an awful mod

But all the devs prefer old MD

So they stopped supporting their submods for MD

Well I mean, you have Turkey submod @mighty saffron

Other than that theres this one rework of an old Korean submod, but its currently broken

[mighty saffron]

oof

[obtuse condor]

At least its being developed

beautiful graphics mod I just found.
Although some of those portraits were definitely ripped from RT56
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2867552122

[mighty saffron]

how do i get fascism in MD

[autumn briar]

I use the equestria at war mod before

Along with escalation mod

[twilit arch]

honestly modding isnt even that hard its just that its tedious

esspecially after getting used to godot and calling and all that stuff

[autumn briar]

And heck I got over 53 mod installed lol

[pale sparrow]

Iron Workshop is not useful for basic stuff you can easily read in the base game

[twilit arch]

in general the scripting is really simple and doesnt really require that much knowledge its just so repetitve

[pale sparrow]

You can still make bad or nice things with it

[obtuse condor]

Its renamed to Nationalism

[keen pagoda]

@buoyant dove how is that tree creator

[paper breach]

What are the mods that you guys think are gonna break with BBA? (Besides total overhauls like TNO, KR, and TWR cuz no shit)

I was planning to just play vanilla with some graphical mods I like until the the gameplay mods get updated, since I don't think stuff like fps map is gonna break (I hope)

[cinder wasp]

kinda dumb question

[silk agate]

player-led peace conferences

[paper breach]

🚜

That's what I thought

[buoyant dove]

Most probably won’t break

At least they will be fixed after not long

There aren’t as many changes compared to say NSB

[paper breach]

Right

Alr

[cinder wasp]

planes, peace conf and divisions command

[buoyant dove]

Planes probably won’t be that hard to fix

The designer wil probably be patched out most mods for now

[cinder wasp]

just said the main changes

[buoyant dove]

Peace conferences also won’t affect modding wise also

Divisional command also i doubt

So most mods

Are probably safe

[cinder wasp]

well, i sure need some time to teach ai how use new conferences

[buoyant dove]

Most mods don’t change peace conferences

Unless they outright remove them like TNO

[wind lava]

All major ones
Even small ones that change states

Or research

[wind lava]

You think they gonna change the system after the update since there's an improvement?

[buoyant dove]

Depends how moddable it is

[wind lava]

Dunno but it would be intresting what stuff would be made out of it

And kinda curious you think they gonna make some infantry or artillery designer next?

[charred silo]

rifle designer 😎

[burnt terrace]

is there any mod that consists Israel and a good focus tree of Israel after WW2 (obviously), other than Millennium Dawn or Iron Curtain?

[warped hare]

Anyone know a good alt history mod that uses the latest version, since I can’t change my game version

[obtuse condor]

does anyone know a mod that makes your game run faster?

[obtuse condor]

i need help

made a bunch of new states in new england not realizing the new england state would remain and just override the rest

how do i get rid of new england

[stuck mist]

Every state needs to have provinces

So you'll need to move it somewhere or remove one of the new ones and reuse New England and just modify the file to make it more realistic and modify locale

[slender brook]

There are mods that remove continents and such

Those would be the only ones I can think of

[obtuse condor]

what does this mean

theres nothing about the map in the error log

[slender brook]

Oh yeah, it does that sometimes. Manually figure it out I guess since it seems you already started in debug mode

[obtuse condor]

i did but i honestly have no idea what the error cld bwe

all the states r in the rigght place

[dense crag]

Confused on why this happens, i assume its something to do with the colors.text file

but i cant find anything

[dense crag]

[lucid patrol]

Ok thank you

[golden pike]

what is the best modern day mod?

[gentle lake]

really depends on your opinion

[pale sparrow]

None

[gentle lake]

tru

[golden pike]

any good mods, besidese kaaisereich and 56?

kinda bored tbh

[slender brook]

Old World Blues and Equestria at War

[pale sparrow]

I think OWB is pretty cool but its oddly balanced at times

WW1 feels too scripted so I dont like that

Did KR have the division limiter? Kinda hate those

[golden pike]

ill check those our rn

[gentle lake]

yes because kaisserreich ai just spams divs

at least from ym experince

[pale sparrow]

I played as like France and I could in no way match Germany's division count, kinda unfun

[gentle lake]

then i think your supposed to make better divs

but there is also really a limit to that

[pale sparrow]

Even with better divs its hard to win a 1:1,5 while attacking

[gentle lake]

maybe some form of cocentrated attack with tanks but i guess with good ai they push you where u are not

[pale sparrow]

Im usually happy with a 1 v 1 won while attacking, I think a standard 21w is slightly too bad for that still
But I dont exactly have the factories to go build space marines

[gentle lake]

hey modding question

how would u say in syntax that you need a certain advisor

like not just have them be able to be picked

but active

[pale sparrow]

has_idea

[gentle lake]

oh yeeeee

ideas or also characters

[pale sparrow]

I guess what you describe is has_character

[gentle lake]

yes but like active

[pale sparrow]

Yeh I meant the thing you didnt mean

[gentle lake]

as in you have them picked as advisor

[pale sparrow]

yeh thats has_idea

[gentle lake]

ok thx

[pale sparrow]

is_character_slot = political_advisor Inside a character scope I guess is a way if you wanna avoid using the idea token for some reason

[gentle lake]

hm ok

[subtle totem]

Is it possible to change the layout of a division using decisions?

Or create a division template via decisions for that matter?

[obtuse condor]

Is the change leader portraits compatible with major mods?

Like kaiserreich, the great war redux and so on.

[jade mauve]

i think they do that by just creating country leaders, at least thats how i do it

[obtuse condor]

I mean, if I use it on md will it display mod generated leaders or modern leaders from md?

[jade mauve]

what are you trying to do?

[stuck mist]

If that's an existing mod, just ask on their discord or whatever else they have. The odds are good that there isn't a dev of that mod here watching this chat

[golden pike]

guys with the great war redux mod, I did the focus for mittelafrika but i can't form it in decisions

[stuck mist]

Again, ask on their discord or whatever else they have

[golden pike]

okay

[haughty folio]

so i just finished creating my map mod for hoi and when i loaded up the game i got at least a few thousand errors, do i need to fix all of these?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[green lark]

working on some focus stuf

[polar citrus]

Question: what do i do with my new provinces now that i've got BBA?

[dense pebble]

Good evening

After the update for the DLC By Blood Alone, my mod no longer works. The game crashes while loading files

Can you tell me how I can fix it?

What was the change in the game files?

Is this another modification of the map. My mod is a new map, not the original.

I hope that’s not really the problem, because I’d have to start over

[small badge]

The update is not compatible with existing saves

Roll back to an older patch if you want to finish a game

You can do that via steam betas

[dense pebble]

So I have to delete my parts?

[gentle lake]

i think that is the problem if u have new states. because blood alone adds like 80 new states so if u have given new states state id 900 for example. that already existts now and your not adding to the base game but overwriting. i think, not sure

i aint no good modder

but this is what happened with me when i added a state

[dense pebble]

I’m on a new map with states other than base states. So I don’t think it’s from there

[gentle lake]

hmm ye idk im new

i just know this cus it just happened to me

it told me this in the error log

so idk

[primal lance]

Can someone who knows something about modding tell me how to change how the Trade Law Closed Economy works? I am frustrated that it completely cuts off all trade and I want to change it to something more realistic.

[ivory mesa]

ı how to modding hoi4 10.0.2?

[obtuse condor]

alright how to i update my mod to blood alone

i reuploadrd my mod with the right version buut the mod still crashes and gives me a giant error log

what am i forgetting

[dense pebble]

I also have the same problem.

I have no idea what he’s planting

[obtuse condor]

for every single new state you edited, go into the text file for it and give it a manpower population and under manpower add the line ‘state_category=‘ and add whatever category youd like out of the list

you can look up what kind of categories there are

if you need to reference the files of states already in game

[haughty folio]

anyone wanna walk me through the process of making a map?

[gray summit]

anyone know where is the new code of 1.12 divisional_commander?

[rough robin]

Check out the German country history files for an example of how to define divisional commanders

[gray summit]

sorry i cant find,may i know which line?

[rough robin]

Oops, sorry that was meant to be unit history

GER_1936_nsb.txt, line 159+

[gray summit]

unique={
"xxx xxx"
}

[rough robin]

yes, that'll define their name, and you can give them a portrait using the example below

You can supply a list of names if you want, and they'll be used sequentially

[viscid sigil]

How do i use mods? I'm on the xbox game pass version and whenever i download one it doesnt show up, do I need to do something else?

[gray summit]

can i promote named "unique=xxx" as a real commander?

or can i use the real corps_commander name in the "unique=xxx"

[slender brook]

On Paradox Mods, are clicking Add latest version or Download mod

One just downloads a zip file

The other automaticslly adds it to tour launcher

[viscid sigil]

i think i figured it out

for some reason on the site they were disabled

[thin chasm]

Anyone know what the background image for the focus tree is called in the game files?

I've been looking, but I don't see it, and I'm wondering if I've perhaps gone blind without realising

Like this, but not this, because this is just a screenshot I took for quick reference

oh, wait, i think I see it now, never mind

[jade mauve]

how is it called?

[thin chasm]

gfx/interface/tiles/tiled_focus_bg.dds for the corner bits

And then one of the other background tiles for the actual background, but the corner bits was what I was looking for, so I stopped there

[jade mauve]

oh ok, thanks anyways

[jade mauve]

i dont know if you've found the corner bits, but they're called 'tiled_focus_bg.dds'

located in the same folder that you told me

[dapper yacht]

i attempted making a mod and the game updated and now it doesnt work at all

[slender brook]

What type of mod was it?

And, did you edit basegame files?

[dapper yacht]

i added a new country and assigned it provinces

[slender brook]

And this was in a proper mod folder?

[dapper yacht]

yes

[slender brook]

Where was this country?

[dapper yacht]

texas

[slender brook]

Well they didn't change the stuff around that area. I don't see how the new update would make it not work. Can you zip the files for your mod and send it over?

[dapper yacht]

okay

its gonna take a minute i have a slow HDD

it says the file is too large to upload

[slender brook]

uh hmm

[pale sparrow]

Youve probably packed too many files into your mod then tbh

Oh wait some people use custom art, I forgor

[slender brook]

Oh yeah I forgor I was helping this guy

[pale sparrow]

📸

[edgy solar]

so if i make a mod and put it on the steam workshop, I'm supposed to use the local version of it not the steam version yes?

[stuck mist]

Yes, you can not subscribe to your workshop version unless you change your local versions name

[stuck mist]

If you added new states, you need to move them to after the new base game ones unless you have a replace path

In the descriptor and mod file, add a line thats picture=thumbnail.png then make a file named that

o thx man

[pale sparrow]

Lemme verify on the wiki

[mint hound]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GskG_OEpqIs im just watchin this

[slender brook]

You just put a .png file in the mod folder. Must be 512x512 or less. Must be named thumbnail.png

But I don't think that line is necessary

I have not done that before and it works

I'd still put it in for good measure though

[pale sparrow]

512x512 or less? That explains it

[slender brook]

Also should probably be square but that's more about aesthetic

[analog anchor]

How does one update their hoi4 mod to the latest version.

[slender brook]

Go through the upload process again

And make sure to change the version to current

[mossy ice]

I remember when a mod messed up my hoi4 game files and ruined the colors of my nations

[slender brook]

Yeah they do that sometimes

[unkempt dirge]

Hello. Many of the Field Officers assigned to divisions in the new DLC do not have portraits assigned to them. So I want to apply the generic portrait mod for generals that I previously created myself to their generation as well.

Where are the rules defined for field officer portraits?

[worthy narwhal]

Yes it's in the defines

[worthy narwhal]

This shouldn't happen unless you've installed the mod completely wrong and into the base game files and not from the workshop. Mods don't do this sometimes without user error.

[worthy narwhal]

You don't need to reupload, just go to the .mod and descriptor and update the number to the current version.

Depending on the scope of your mod different things will need updating.
Have you changed any of the following:
UI?
Map?
Tech?

[analog anchor]

I've updated the map.

[worthy narwhal]

If you've added states but not replaced path make sure the new states are fitted in.
If you've added provinces and therefore strategic regions make sure the new ones are fitted in.

[nocturne imp]

How can I make it that way?

[steady dove]

How do some mods change the pictures for certain places

Like custom city pictures for Berlin, Paris, London, etc

[wild torrent]

is r56 compatible with BBA?

yet*

[slender brook]

Don't believe so. Keep attention to the mod page for when a new update comes out

[wild torrent]

yeah I'll probably just wait until it's updated to play

otherwise i'll feel like I'm losing features

[open marsh]

But like what can i do

I want it to be releaseable

[obtuse condor]

hey

anyone able to help me with modding

[slender brook]

Depends on what you need help with

[obtuse condor]

Tryna add the blackshirt italian malitia technology to another country

having a brain fart rn

[slender brook]

Well just take the technology from one history file to another

[obtuse condor]

there is no technology file in the history

[slender brook]

Well then it has to be determined somewhere else

Found it

blackshirt_assault_battalion_tech

I looked in infantry.txt

[obtuse condor]

Yeh but how do I add it to a country on 1936

[slender brook]

Add that to their technologiesin the history file

[obtuse condor]

What line of code do add to the country

[slender brook]

blackshirt_assault_battalion_tech = 1

It's the same syntax as every other country

[obtuse condor]

ah

so nothing different

[slender brook]

I assume it worked because you deleted the image?

[obtuse condor]

no it didn't

I thought I put it in the wrong file

but it isn't working for some reason

[slender brook]

Ok I'll do some independent research and see if I can fix this

[obtuse condor]

thanks

is it the always = no

[slender brook]

No because Italy has it

They get theirs in a focus

[obtuse condor]

hmm

idk then im lost on how to make it work

[slender brook]

I can't get my console commands to work so it'll be a minute

[obtuse condor]

Ok ill wait

[slender brook]

I just did the same thing and it works

You know it's a support company right?

[obtuse condor]

Right, did I need the technology folder in my mod?

[slender brook]

No

[obtuse condor]

so what did I do wrong

hmmm

[slender brook]

Did you properly enable the mod

[obtuse condor]

yeh

[slender brook]

So yeah it should show up in support companies

[slender brook]

Yeah that all looks correct. Should be in support companies in that case. If it isn't, I'm not sure what the issue could be

[obtuse condor]

yeh

i see this

[slender brook]

Oh that's fine

Assault battalion is what it's called in-game

[obtuse condor]

it should be something like this

[slender brook]

Oh! You're talking about militia units

[obtuse condor]

yea the infantry one special for italy

camice

[slender brook]

Yeah no that's just a special division. Militia aren't unique per se but not commonly accessible

[obtuse condor]

yea

so how could I get that into germany instead

[slender brook]

You'd have to make a custom division template or a custom technology

Militia aren't unlocked by technology they are unlocked by division templates

[obtuse condor]

can't I copy the italian one?

[slender brook]

Yeah you could just copy the Italian division

[obtuse condor]

how can I copy that onto germanyt

[slender brook]

So check the Italian history file

Oh wait

No, check the Italian oob

Which is in units

Find the militia division and copy it into Germany's oob

[obtuse condor]

they don't have an oob one

[slender brook]

Yeah no oob is just the colloquial name

[obtuse condor]

which italian one do I click on

[slender brook]

1936

[obtuse condor]

i copied that over to germany earlier but didn't work I think

i copied this

onto GER

what would I need to change

division_names_group = ITA_INF_02?

[slender brook]

Remove template counter I think

No

That just says the icon

[obtuse condor]

I have a question about the Great War mod. Also sorry if I interrupt you, but the Great War Mod refuses to load properly without crashing

[obtuse condor]

check other mods

[slender brook]

    name = "Militia Division" 
    division_names_group = GER_Inf_01

    regiments = { 
        militia = { x = 0 y = 0 }
        militia = { x = 0 y = 1 }
        militia = { x = 1 y = 0 }
        militia = { x = 1 y = 1 }
        militia = { x = 2 y = 0 }
        militia = { x = 2 y = 1 }
    }
    support = { 
        engineer = { x = 0 y = 0 }
    }
}```

[slender brook]

Has it been updated yet?

[obtuse condor]

Sadly, no

[slender brook]

That'd be why

[obtuse condor]

that's just normal malitia. I mean the special italian malitia camice

[obtuse condor]

Oh

Thanks

[slender brook]

Same thing

To prove it, that is the exact same division I just removed all of Italy's flair

[obtuse condor]

they use a different type of malitia

[slender brook]

It is literally the exact same division

All I did was rename it

[obtuse condor]

ok testing now

[slender brook]

And removed some lockers

[obtuse condor]

nothing there

[slender brook]

Alright show the folder tree

[slender brook]

Yeah that looks right, really the only issue I can see is that the mod is not enabled properly

[obtuse condor]

mods fine everything else is working

[slender brook]

I see. I'll keep doing some digging on my end to see why this isn't working

[obtuse condor]

yeh not sure why it wont

[slender brook]

I found why!

We have been editing the non-No Step Back oob

[obtuse condor]

so what do we do chief

[slender brook]

Well you just past the division template in the NSB version of the oob

[obtuse condor]

ah

really that simple?

would be nice if paradox pointed out "DO NOT EDIT THE OTHER ONE"

[slender brook]

Nah because they still need to edit the old one

For if you don't have NSB

[obtuse condor]

how can I change the icons

to the normal one

like this guy

[slender brook]

Remove the template_counter

[obtuse condor]

I mean the uniforms

on the right

i want them to be the blackshirt characters

[slender brook]

Oh yeah that's gonna be a bit more in-depth I think

[obtuse condor]

i think its a simple line of code to add to the countrys file

to allow certain uniforms

but not sure which one

[slender brook]

It could be. I've never messed around with this

[obtuse condor]

Yea not sure and cannot find any tutorials

[slender brook]

Alright well I've frankly given up

[obtuse condor]

yeh

i looked it up

apparently it is the entity

override_model = ITA_infantry_alt_1_entity

you sure it isn't the division names group?

[slender brook]

It could be but I doubt it

You can try it. I've never tried to modify unit graphics

[obtuse condor]

yeh I cannot figure it out

[solid junco]

Do someone here knows a mod that expand the investigation?

[pale sparrow]

the what?

[obtuse condor]

I found it LOL

common\medals and common\ribbons

Damnt

[humble cedar]

Im thinking of starting a mod just to "improve" greece's focus tree.

[unkempt dirge]

Does anyone know how to add a portrait of the division commander in the mod? I can't get it to work the same way as the general's portrait.

[green lark]

another one

[proper finch]

how do I get player led peace conferences working?

[keen spindle]

You gotta wait for the devs of the mod to update it, I guess

[obtuse condor]

wait for update

i honestly fear updates, cos it takes half a dozen good mods away (cos the owners wont update)

[humble cedar]

it is updated..?

i played with it a couple of hours ago while trying out the new italian focus tree.

[obtuse condor]

yo

[humble cedar]

?

[obtuse condor]

Anyone having issues or had with focus trees? I have in my mod all the things needed to edit a focus tree. My "germany.txt" i deleted the whole focus tree and it remains standard. I added my own focus and it doesn't show. Anyone know how to fix?

[slender brook]

Sure you got the right pathing?

[humble cedar]

I was checking a modding tutorial some hours ago and i saw the youtuber write in the code normal_focus_tree : off or smth

[obtuse condor]

Yeh common > national_focus > germany.txt

[slender brook]

Yeah, that looks correct. In that Germany file, try increasing the weight at the beginning of the file

[obtuse condor]

I had all the standard content in there

normal germany focus tree

i added my own to the side

didn't work

i deleted the whole focus tree

nothing changes

[humble cedar]

quick question cause im going to start trying to mod HOI4 soon, can i still use the normal greek focus tree and do some adjucements to it?

[slender brook]

You should be able to

[obtuse condor]

that's what I am doing and yes. Copy the greece focus tree and add whatever you want

[obtuse condor]

but any idea where I am going wrong? May I stream to you in helping lounge?

[slender brook]

Nah I’m on phone so it wouldn’t help

[humble cedar]

so i should be able to add more paths into the greek focus tree ?

[slender brook]

Yes

[obtuse condor]

But any idea where I am going wrong?

[humble cedar]

Cool, i hate the greek focus tree, it just doesn't make lot's of sense

[slender brook]

No, not really. Germany shouldn’t have multiple focus tree files like what happened yesterday

Try increasing the weight at the beginning

[humble cedar]

isn't there a thing at the beggining of the code that is smth like "normal_tree = false" ?

or smth among those lines.?

[slender brook]

Well with the game works it should just overwrite Germany’s tree entirely but I suppose that could work? Never heard of that line so I’ll check the wiki

[slender brook]

Yeah I’m not seeing this anywhere. Might you be confusing it with default = yes?

[humble cedar]

yeah i think that's it.

[obtuse condor]

ok I fixed the issue

but for some reason my mutually exclusive wont work

[slender brook]

You must make oppose hitler be mutual with your thing as well

[humble cedar]

"prussian_sympathies"

Intresting.

[humble cedar]

don't you have to mate it mutually exclusive with "Rhineland" as well?

[obtuse condor]

still not working

[humble cedar]

welp.

uh

are you sure you got the correct id for the rhineland ?

[slender brook]

So you made opposite hitler mutual with it as well?

Mutually exclusive must be put in both mutually exclusive foci

[obtuse condor]

GER_rhineland

What should the line of code be

[slender brook]

Well just put mutually_exclusive in Oppose Hitler and put your focus there

[obtuse condor]

ah odd

but works

[slender brook]

Yeah as I said, mutually exclusice has to be put in both mutually exclusive focuses

[manic wolf]

how to add more of these?

[obtuse condor]

Anyone know how to make a civilwar appear in a certain area done by decisions. For example spanish civilwar

[slender brook]

set_research_slots or add_research_slot

[slender brook]

Yes check the notation on civil wars. They can have certain states

[manic wolf]

is there a way to make a city appear bigger?

[obtuse condor]

Yeh but done from decisions

like when in the spanish civilwar you influence areas

[slender brook]

Not sure. The Spanish Civil War is quite complex

I assume there would be variables and such

[manic wolf]

how do i add new cities?

[obtuse condor]

I have seen mods making it where if you click a decision to influence an area the civilwar kicks off in that area

[manic wolf]

like what happens in the Russian civil war?

[obtuse condor]

Yeh

something like that would be nice

[manic wolf]

i would say try and look ad pdx's code for nsb decisions

[edgy solar]

You could rip the games code and learn from it

[manic wolf]

i decided to give egypt 4 research slots

:v

[obtuse condor]

yeh but that is based differently

like its specifically done for SOV

with trotsky etc

[manic wolf]

you can change the tags and state id's

[obtuse condor]

maybe

another question I got is have anyone managed to get the balance of power to work on another country

I'd love to put it on germany

[manic wolf]

how do i make an area passable rather than impassable

[obtuse condor]

you have to edit the terrain

which is a hard code thing

[manic wolf]

ah

[obtuse condor]

do you know where the balance of power mechanic might be stored

[manic wolf]

nope

idk which mech that even is

if i had to guess it for a nation i have yet to play

closest is probably the USA

[obtuse condor]

Balance of power is not a decision

but I cannot figure out what it is

[thin chasm]

/common/bop

Individual decisions relating to BOP are located in the country's decisions.txt file in /common/decisions

[obtuse condor]

I copied the BOP folder

still nothing here

I copied the decisions and made it so that if I completed a focus it would activate

[obtuse condor]

Any idea?

is there a vexillology chat?

I'd love to see one

Does anyone know how I can manually fire it?

theres a file called test in BOP

contains this code

am I missing something? Do I need to add some extra files over or something

[edgy solar]

have you made it so that a focus unlocks it?

[obtuse condor]

yes

[small badge]

Btw, if I may suggest, there is a visual studio code plugin that provides intellisense for hoi4 etc. script files

it can be useful

[edgy solar]

ill fiddle around with this for a few and see if it works

if it does ill come back to help

[obtuse condor]

thanks I have spent hours. It has its own "bop" file in common and in gfx

it should be easy

but I have spent like 8 hours on it

My custom Irish flag

[edgy solar]

the harp of erin is a nice touch

[obtuse condor]

thank you 😭

[obtuse condor]

lemme know what you find, I am exhausted. I have tried for ages

I make flags for mods

I am a big fan of flags

My custom Greece flag, The Kingdom of Greece and Western Anatolia

[manic wolf]

hehe

[neat crescent]

nice

[copper loom]

with 1.12, there are several new states, do i actually have to edit every changed state in a mod that has the states of 1.11 or can i use the one from 1.11 in a mod?

[pale sparrow]

you have to change a bunch of stuff

you have to edit previously existing states, add new ones, adjust strategic regions, adjust the province map, etc. etc.

[manic wolf]

hehehe

[obtuse condor]

lol

[manic wolf]

interesting countries xD

[obtuse condor]

lol

[manic wolf]

still cant get all the intresting minors to appear

only some are

[slender brook]

Anything popping up in error log?

[manic wolf]

nope, nothing bookmark related

here's all i get despite a few more being there, like albania, iran, iraq, etc

[raven bronze]

anyone know how i change my version to 1.11.12 for a mod

since its not in any of the options

[edgy solar]

go to your mod folder and find the descriptor file

change the version to 1.12.1

[raven bronze]

alr thanks

[acoustic sundial]

Trying to play around balance of power with console command. But it kept saying failed to change.

What do I put it for ID?

[green lark]

a couple assets i did for fun

[steady dove]

if i get this warning one more time im actually going to die

[slender brook]

Mate just fix your map issues
It could also just be a conflict because you have nudger map resources but mod map resources at the same time

[steady dove]

ik just vent

when you're learning mapping it is very stressful

but as with the rest of modding, when you get the hang of it, it's a lot easier

[buoyant dove]

They need a focus tree

[proud tangle]

France never got Alsace Lorraine

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that simplifies the naval combat in this game

[humble cedar]

I love the design

[twilit arch]

what is this mod

[twilit arch]

where do you het the blank backgrounds from.

[dense crag]

i keep getting this error, though i dont have a "thumbnail" in the descriptor file

[green lark]

I’ll send you the zip when I’m home

[stiff widget]

how do you make borders

(for national focus)

[green lark]

Country asset?

[stiff widget]

what's that

[stiff widget]

cheatmod?!

(jk idc)

[simple dust]

does anyone know where to find character id in hoi4?

[pale sparrow]

common/characters

[simple dust]

unknown command

[twilit arch]

where can i find blank focuses

like the slate at the back of the focus itself

[manic wolf]

That shouldn't be the issue, cause Egypt doesn't have a focus tree

[buoyant dove]

Only minors

Majors don’t

[manic wolf]

Ah

Ig I need to get on to making the Israeli, Iraqi, Persian, Syrian and a few others focus trees?

[lofty plaza]

They don't need a focus tree they just need an entry in the bookmarks file

[manic wolf]

They do

And no code issues, as they're exactly the same as the other minors

[buoyant dove]

Minors need a unique focus tree to appear in the bookmarks

[manic wolf]

yeah cause the ones showing up have focuses from dlc

which i own all expansions except bba

[lofty plaza]

They do not

As long as they have an entry they'll show, focuses have nothing to do with it

[buoyant dove]

they need to have focuses
the entries dont show if they dont have a unique focus tree

unless it changed in 1.12

but i dont believe it did

[lofty plaza]

That's just not true though

I can show you if you want

[buoyant dove]

show me

[lofty plaza]

Hold on a moment

[buoyant dove]

everything that ive seen has pointed towards them requiring unique focuses

taken directly from base hoi4

The ETH and SWI don't appear if you don't have BBA because they don't have a non-default focus tree

[lofty plaza]

They don't appear because they are disabled unless you have the DLC

[buoyant dove]

Yes

But I am talking about the bookmark

[lofty plaza]

Here you go

[buoyant dove]

We are talking about the minors section

The bit in the bottom

With all the small ones

[lofty plaza]

Oh yeah sure

[buoyant dove]

💀

[lofty plaza]

Doesn't make a difference though, just an extra check

[buoyant dove]

It does make a difference though

The minor bookmark entres don't appear if they have the default focus tree

And do appear if they do

which is to my knowledge a difference

[lofty plaza]

@buoyant dove

As you can see I made a minor bookmark for Egypt with them having the default focus tree and not even existing at game start. I just copied the localization from Ethiopia and Switzerland since I don't intend on making my own but it still proves my point

[manic wolf]

;-;

then why are the others not showing up

[buoyant dove]

Can you check something for me quickly?

[lofty plaza]

What's up

[buoyant dove]

remove whats in the EGY available section

Does it still show?

If there is anything there

[lofty plaza]

There isn't anything

[gray summit]

i know the division officer dont have any skill and no any bonus for the unit, but can you please allow to add the skill for the unique division officer, just for the effect after the MajorGeneral promote as General

[manic wolf]

whats the construction speed syntax for focuses

[lofty plaza]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

[manic wolf]

i tried that

[lofty plaza]

production_speed_buildings_factor

production_speed_<building>_factor

[manic wolf]

ye i tried that production_speed_buildings_factor = 0.5

[sick knot]

this is in ideologies file lmao

[worthy narwhal]

Out of context Chinese tag generic for my mod

[rotund hearth]

is there any map mods for hoi4?

(that changes the map graphics)

[pale dagger]

epic graphics mod

or this collection

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1631293381

[rotund hearth]

thanks, but I meant in a less realistic way

like paper maps

[slender brook]

There are Victoria 2 style map textures. Not sure what they are called exactly

[rotund hearth]

thanks

[steady dove]

where are the opinion modifiers for ideology?

Like the different ideology, same ruling party, and same ideology opinions

Or how in KR/X has the Similar ideology opinion for stuff

[dense vigil]

can anyone help me with fixing the errors generated by mapgen

[slender brook]

Use the nudger garbage to generate the things

[dense vigil]

wha-

wdym

im not talking about making new states im talking about the map generation tool

mapgen

[green lark]

nice gfx daymn

[dense vigil]

well i guess not

[lofty plaza]

It's vanilla

[mystic owl]

how to fix new resistance balance to old one

[pale sparrow]

Make a mod

[mystic owl]

how make is ask

[slender brook]

He's basically asking where the balance changes were made

And thus how to revert them

[mystic owl]

yes

👍

[pale sparrow]

I am thinking common/defines, you could ask someone who has reverted to give the old file to compare

[slender brook]

Wouldn't a lot of it be occupation_laws

[mystic owl]

am check

[pale sparrow]

Wanna check the wiki to confirm thats the right place, could be that folder yes

[green lark]

Mfw

Egypt focus tree

[green lark]

[slender brook]

This is way smarter than how they did it before

[obtuse condor]

can someone make a gigachad leader mod for paradox plaza?

[pale sparrow]

Which country?

[obtuse condor]

any like you can coup any country using a decision and the leader becomes gigachad

[pale sparrow]

🤔 Okay

Should the AI do it?

[obtuse condor]

no only me

[obtuse condor]

and these stats please

but first he has to become a field marschal through a decision he instantly starts at level 8

[pale sparrow]

But it exists already? 👀

Just use steamworkshopdownloader

[obtuse condor]

can you send a link

i couldnt find any

[pale sparrow]

The main one got valve'ed

[obtuse condor]

okay

ill try to find it

[pale sparrow]

you could try SteamCMD, or I could just give you the files if you give the link

no I mean, Valve made them close the website

[obtuse condor]

no you dont need it ill use steamcmd

[pale sparrow]

👍

It doesnt work for every game, but it works for most

[trim snow]

can you use player lead peace conference to replace the newly introduced peace system? Or is there some way to boost your war score for single wars? Kind of BS to not be able to fully annex nations

[slender brook]

Yeah that's a bug. The open beta fixes it

[trim snow]

oh it does? I'm getting that patch then, thanks!

[pastel badge]

Any mod that removes the requirements for party popularity for the swiss focus tree?

really dumb decision, and you cant even change your political advisers

[snow rune]

what do i do since the new uppdate i havent been able to play mods it just craches

[obtuse condor]

alr

[slender brook]

Most large mods are not updated.

Either rollback or wait for them to update

[snow rune]

can u give an example of a mod that is good and uppdated

[slender brook]

I do not

I only play with quality of life mods

[snow rune]

whats that

[slender brook]

Just mods that fix bugs or make changes I like

[obtuse condor]

i uploaded it to paradox plaza but it doesnt work

[pale sparrow]

Oh?

I think it might not download every part you need

[obtuse condor]

do you wanna test it for yourself?

[pale sparrow]

You could swipe the files here and I can see whats off

[obtuse condor]

alr

i cant put the map here

https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/50765/Any heres the mod

[pale sparrow]

You need the files inside the folder with .rar in the name

[obtuse condor]

i made it .zip

[pale sparrow]

the stuff inside the middle folder should be here in the root folder

You can convert the files to run locally

[obtuse condor]

i dont understand a bit your saying can you record a video of it or smth

[pale sparrow]

You wanna change the path entry and put it in your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod folder

@timid bronze

[pale sparrow]

Done

Make a mod in the launcher->Drag the files into it, dont override the descriptor

that rar file was from here

[obtuse condor]

oh so i copy these there

Yes, into a new mod you make in the launcher, you want to NOT override the descriptor

Hi,
this might be a stupid question, but I can't remove a ruling leader from power.
In a country event that I trigger by console, I have tried three methods:
retire_country_leader = yes
kill_country_leader = yes

    limit = { is_country_leader = yes }
    retire = yes
}```
but all of them have failed: the country leader stays the same (I tried USA -> Roosevelt, and LUX-> Joseph Bech).
As I gave no description to the event, it even displays: a message such as "[name of the country leader] retires", but nothing actually happens.
How do I make it work?

What do I have to do in a "Undefined GUI_Type" error or what even does this mean?

[odd galleon]

HOI4 mods are installed on my c drive, but I don't have that much space left on it. Could I change the mod directory to my D drive and then the game will automatically store and load the mods there?

[copper loom]

I did that, worked for me, at least o7

[odd galleon]

yes but how do I change the directory

[copper loom]

Wait, it is possible to just drag the steamapps directory to another drive, so everything can be stored on one drive

In my case, i just created a folder on the new drive called e.g "Games" and pasted the "steamapps" file into that folder. Long since, so be sure to maybe have a backup

[copper loom]

Just for your information if you are making mods that greatly change the game and/or have edited career_profile in "interface", it is very likely that this will crash the game on startup

[stone dawn]

Is there a mod that remembers how the divisions in an army are sorted? While training up multiple armies, that would be rather handy. Sometimes its handy to keep an army sorted by how much goods they carry, sometimes its handy to keep them sorted them by division type. When selecting an army: it should default to the sorting it last had when viewed before, imho. If such a mod does not exist: it should be made, lol

[deft karma]

Could a mod from steam workshop give my computer a virus? is that possible? (even for other games but mainly hoi4)

[silk agate]

Yeah but its unlikely

unl;ess you download a suspicious mod

[deft karma]

and how could i prevent it

if i were only downloading them through steam workshop

[obtuse condor]

thank you kindly good sir

Looking for a historical game with vanilla style? This mod for you (Artillery meta)

[obtuse condor]

I am looking to construct a mod, I was wondering if anyone would like to help me on it. I'm fairly new to the modding scene, and would greatly appreciate any help that could come my way.

[obtuse condor]

Anyone knows a good medieval or early discovery era mod?

[green geyser]

can someone make a mod that adds a new country rhineland

[obtuse condor]

My senate (Leader) Portrait for one of my nations

the flag of the Senatorial Demos of Texas

A country directly controlled by a Senate, not by a President

or one man

[gritty cave]

How does one make a hoi4 mod

[deep parrot]

how delete assigned national spirit ?

[jovial panther]

how can i add other countries to bookmarks? every time I try to add one it does this and does not show any other nation besides france

[mystic owl]

what not being able to fully anex nations is bug

what

[pale sparrow]

yes

[mystic owl]

wow

shocking

where am find new beta

[small badge]

From what I've seen on the forums it improves things but doesn't fix the problem fully. Folks on 1.12.2 are still complaining about not having enough WS

[small badge]

You don't, it was released as stable (1.12.2) yesterday

On Steam that is (Microsoft Store and other platforms must wait till next week)

[mystic owl]

ok

thanks

am steam user

[copper loom]

You may stick to this code layout i used for my (not finished, but working) Modern Day Mod, hope i could help you

[jovial panther]

thank you

[copper loom]

No problem mate

[small badge]

ya, so if in the launcher/main menu it says 1.12.2 then you already got it

[jovial panther]

how do you edit country borders?

[copper loom]

history -> states...

then...

more effective if you copy the states from vanilla into that folder

[green trench]

Do mods just not work with MacOS?

Whenever I try loading with a mod the game crashes.

[obtuse condor]

It’s quite a lengthy process

[copper loom]

and then, in the.txt files edit "owner" "controller" and so on

[jovial panther]

oh

alr

[obtuse condor]

I know a little bit, but I’m still really really learning

[copper loom]

also, if you dont want to get alzheimers trying to not forget the id of the state, go into debug mode and just hover over the state you want to edit

[jovial panther]

kk

[mystic owl]

why is making new states crash my game everytime

so sed

[copper loom]

are you doing it with nudge?

[mystic owl]

yes

but I was modding on crack

now I have legit

[green trench]

Does running 1.11.* mods crash the game if you try launching them in 1.12.*?

[copper loom]

if they edit states, strategic regions and such, i think yes

[green trench]

So overhauls are a no-no

[copper loom]

so just that you can feel how it is to even try to update a full game overhaul to 1.12 T_T

finally did it, missing provinces fixed 😄

[gritty cave]

I Know nothing abt it

[jovial panther]

theres an entire series on youtube

that teaches some basics

Cool

[blazing musk]

ı wanted to combine some quality of life mods for me and my friends how can i do it?

[copper loom]

you know how to create an own mod so that this is even possible?

[obtuse condor]

what is this error and how do i fix it

[blazing musk]

by mod pack do you mean the one that you have to create in the launcher

[copper loom]

yes, the one with the descriptor in it

[blazing musk]

ye here it is

[obtuse condor]

also what are all thesse ugc files do i need them

[copper loom]

Basically, all you have to do is to download the mods of your desire, go into the workshop content in steamapps -> workshop -> content -> find the number which leads to the hoi4 mods

the copy and paste the contents of the mods into your empty mod

But make sure they can work independently, so nothing overrides the ohter
