#

heres the thing i can only see 2 mods i cant see my own modpack here

copper loom
#

your own should be in documents/paradox interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/

blazing musk
#

ok so do i just copy paste everything into this file?

copper loom
#

yes, for the first mod you can do that, for every other mod i would check the files before copying it so some files arent named the same and thus overriding them

blazing musk
#

like this right?

copper loom
blazing musk
#

setup is like this

whole solstice
#

How can I do something like in 1936 germany is the German Reich but in 1939 its the german republic?

split cedar
#

Any mods that can improve fast on hoi4

slender brook

#

split cedar
#

Any mods that can boost fps and performance

slender brook
#

As I said removing South America

#

Those ones do

small badge
#

Alas the "No South America" mod stopped updating a while back

split cedar
#

Could give me links to those mods

stuck mist
#

Use this thing called the internet and steam workshop? They aren't all that hard to find

split cedar
#

Isn't it called nolag-ultimate

slender brook

#

how do you fix this?

dense crag
#

Not making a new focus tree, but im adjusting the time for how long each focus takes, ill be doing this for DOD, TFV, and waking the tiger as well. So my question is, whats a good amount of days for focuses?

leaden tide
#

i wish the millennium dawn would update, i miss it already

pale sparrow
#

You do?

leaden tide
#

sorry scuffed millennium

leaden tide
pale sparrow
#

Im guessing every mod that doesnt use a fully custom map is still working on it?

pale sparrow
pale sparrow
#

😞 what abo- nvm

leaden tide
#

astleast the finland mod i use is updated

pale sparrow
#

Its almost soly the map that is the suffering of converting to bba

leaden tide
#

yeah, but running low graphics i stopped having that issue

#

no 3d models except infantry and i was running perfectly fine

wet jay
#

what is the best cold war mod?

split cedar
#

any mods that prevents the game from crashing

wet jay
#

haha true

stuck mist
jade mauve
#

does that fix it?

split cedar
#

can you create new formables and releasables with mods

swift dragon
#

Is there a mod with modern day countries?

stuck mist
stuck mist
# jade mauve does that fix it?

It will generate a new airports.txt, rocketsites.txt, and buildings.txt in your user directory, which you then move into your mod files

#

Assuming it works, otherwise manual fixing

swift dragon
stuck mist
#

So Millenium Dawn, Novum Vexillum, etc.

#

Just go on the workshop and use one of those

swift dragon
stuck mist
jade mauve
#

thats the problem, i did random in all states and verify all states but the map folder was not created

slender brook
#

What is nadivided

#

Why is that there

stuck mist
#

Random in all, save, move to mod files, then verify should fix it

#

I haven't had to do this fix in a while so not 100% sure

jade mauve
#

oh right, i forgot to click save

#

my bad

#

lets see if it works

jade mauve
#

let me see

#

there's nothing

#

i have absolutely no idea what it is but i aint removing it

#

dont want to break anything

slender brook
#

I think that's North America Dividwed

#

Which sounds like a mod

#

Besides you can't really break anything too badly here

jade mauve
#

you might be actually right, question is, how in the ever living hell did that get there?

#

also, does anyone know what custom trigger tooltip do and where is the localization for that tooltip located?

stuck mist
#

Custom trigger tooltip shows the effects in that box as well when hovering over an effect, if you're making your own, you don't need to use the same file as vanilla. If you're looking for the vanilla one for some reason, just search in files using any proper text editor to find it

jade mauve
#

thats the thing, i wanna see how the vanilla localization for the tooltip is structured

#

the thing is that i want the decision to show something like "owns all X country cores", i dont know if thats a tooltip or something of a "becomes an operative" kinda stuff

stuck mist
#

So then do the second part of my message?

Do you have hoi4 on steam workshop?

I guess it’s that

But I would use steam if possible

i have a serious issue everytime i load up the game without my mod the state new england has no owner

its probably mod related since the only state in my mod that is changed is new england

#

If anyone would be of help, I'd be greatful - since newest hotfix came out on Friday, I can't get my mod past January 15 in game, it always crashes except when I turn AI off, which may indicate something fishy going on in this regard (and that's the only thing I managed to determine). I only fixed the errors that appeared after Friday update, the last time I played - Wednesday afternoon - everything was all right. The logs are of no help, crash meta.yml of no help even with -crash_data_log.

How do I make different nations have different text for the army command instead of all having the same?

#

I tried to combine croing button mod and SOO mod and its not working

#

can someone help?

obtuse condor
#

I think you should have only one of each folder like common and not common (Coring) and common (SOO)

#

ok let me try that

#

guys idk why but whenever I try to launch the game with my mod, it crashes at initializing game

#

the main menu loads, yet after I select a country and load the game it crashes

#

this is the error log

#

idk what is the problem

#

nor how to solve it

#

anyone has any idea?

honest eagle
#

@blazing musk the two mods are probably not compatible but if they are you need to put each folder in eachother so there’s only ONE of each

blazing musk
honest eagle
#

I guess

#

Also if I don’t respond that’s because I’m going back into a dead zone

You need to add a list of tags

#

The iron workshop has a tutorial on how to set up a nation

formal cobalt
#

dude thats not my problem

#

my game crashes

#

when I pick a nation and press start

#

the game just crashes while loading

#

it crashes while the upper text says initializing game

#

thats my problem

south folio
#

but the error you sent says that the game is missing tags

formal cobalt
#

yeah I dont care about it

#

they dont cause game to crash like that

#

I had that problem for a long time

#

what I wanna fix is game crash while launching

south folio
#

There are very many reasons that it can crash during launch

formal cobalt
#

yeah but error log says nothing about it so idk what can be the reason

#

only if I knew why it could

pale sparrow
formal cobalt
#

happen

#

then I can go through every option and try n solve

south folio
#

is the error log the one on start up or your crash log?

pale sparrow
#

usually people would mean the start up one

#

which is rarely useful for crash info

formal cobalt
#

also log file under crashes folder

honest eagle
#

It’s the tags

#

End of discussion

You could at least say what mod it is from

just a humble mod that adds overpowered nation in central africa

pale sparrow
#

the wiki is probably outdated, so check the base game for occurrences of the condition you want

slender brook
#

Tbh I have no clue how HOI4 on actions work because they look completely different in Stellaris

pale sparrow
#

I do, but here its just a condition that doesnt seem to exist

cedar anvil
#

i found this in a vanilla italy file and saw its not working

slender brook
#

Oh yeah isn’t there a full list of conditions somewhere in the code

pale sparrow
#

theres a documentation folder in the root game folder

#

However, its not completely updated

#

As Ive found several conditions in the game files not listed in the condition documentation

cedar anvil
#
- Added effects set_occupation_law and set_occupation_law_where_available
- Added support in air_wings OOB for specifying a carrier's name as the key instead of a state ID. The OOB file containing the carrier must be loaded before the file containing the carrier air-wing
- Added 3 new triggers for the new war support maluses, hooked in to propaganda decisions
- Added support to trigger occupation_law for checking a country's default occupation law or the occupation law set on a country
#

i found this in a changelog.txt

#

its in line 319 in changelog.txt

#

ok maybe i have to change some measure

slender brook
#

The condition appears to just be occupation_law

pale sparrow
#

👍

cedar anvil
#

yea i just saw this stupidly.

cedar anvil
#

so now i have actually working occupation law. still have no clue with forcing to use it

#

looks set_occupation_law in my on_startup does not work

Is there a mod that lets you swap out leader portraits in-game? Man the pic Road to 56 uses for the leader of Authoritarian Romania is Kevin Spacey lmao and it is somewhat off-putting.

#

Maybe some Hollywood bigshot that is more wholesome like Harvey Weinstein or Roman Polanski.

obtuse condor
humble cedar
#

so im working on a mod that changes the vanilla flags, this is the flags i have came up with.

#

The 1st one is the Monarchist One. (Non-Aligned)
The 2nd one is the Communist one (Im thinking of putting some stars instead of the byzantine "B's"
the 3rd one is the Democratic one
and the 4th one is the Fascist one.

#

but i still don't know what i should do with the communist one so you're guys opinion would help a lot.

dreamy trellis
#

looks really nice

slender brook
#

They look nice but also very samey

#

Which is intended, but I think the Communist stars would be good simply because it would be still recognisable but less same looking

dreamy trellis
#

yeah maybe some color variety

humble cedar
#

hmm, now that i think about it, the communist flag being red instead of purple would make sense.

#

since purple stands for royalty if i make it red then there's no more royalty left.

slender brook
#

Yeah especially since the purple would be a monarchical symbol right

#

Yeah exactly

humble cedar
#

going to replace the "B's with this star.

slender brook
# humble cedar

I think a more orange Soviet-style star would make more sense

#

It would fit with the colour scheme more

humble cedar
#

mind sending me one?

slender brook
#

And just make more geographical sense. This looks more like a Vietnamese star

humble cedar
humble cedar
humble cedar
slender brook
#

Yeah I like that quite a bit more

#

Just makes it look quite a bit more unique than the others

#

And makes more thematic sense

humble cedar
#

aight well im gonna pause my little project now.

#

and i'll continue it tommorow.

#

for now i'll leave the byzantine flags as they are.

#

Tommorow i'll work on the Macedonian flags and greater greece flags.

obtuse condor
# humble cedar but i still don't know what i should do with the communist one so you're guys op...

make a red banner with the greek variation of the hammer and sickle in the canton and a gold border around the canton.
assuming this is a more nationalist-oriented type of orthodox communism, theyd likely stick with the theme of a total cultural revolution while envoking more pride of their idealist form of the nation than whatever was already in place. for that reason i don't see them keepingg suit with the flag. I made a simple little description and concept, feel free to add on, but consider that more radical left ideologies are going to be more anti-establishment and not so in favor of keeping an older flag or aesthetic overall

dense crag
#

anyone want to work on a hoi4 mod with me? we can discuss it in dms

golden charm
#

How do I make it so if like the UK has the USA as a puppet it changes the cosmetic tag of the USA so it is called "Dominion of America" and a custom flag and color

green trench
#

Good mod for manifest destiny without DLC?

slender brook
#

on_puppet

golden charm
#

Not sure how to do that

#

im used to just changing some names in files and changing gfx

slender brook
#

Well you need a common folder and to make an on_actions folder in common first

#

Then you would need to make the on_actions file, call it like [My mod name]_on_actions

golden charm
#

Then what

slender brook
#

Then put in on_puppet = { }

#

And then you have figure out the rest, because you need to properly learn how to code it. I am here for guidance but I'm not gonna make it for you

Other foccues that come after TAN_democratic_support on the script dont show

Probably a bracket issue.

zinc mauve

Is there something wrong with my sript?

slender brook
#

Send me the text file

zinc mauve
slender brook
#

As I suspected. You're missing two closing brackets at the end

#

You're actually missing closing brackets a lot

zinc mauve
#

i am?

#

dam

slender brook
#

I think you're missing at least one closing bracket on each focus

zinc mauve
#

that would explain a lot

#

alright

#

i'll check the game files and check it out

pale sparrow
#

coolcat you could use VScode, but really good indentation alone should show the bracket thing already

humble cedar
#

Well. it's me again, I've got like 1 hour to do whatever I want.

so im going to change the names of Fascist,Communist,Democratic and Non-Aligned Byzantium.

humble cedar
slender brook
# humble cedar

Looks fine to me. You applying the cosmetic tag correctly?

humble cedar
#

i think i am.?

#

when i joined the flags were upside down for some odd reason.

#

and i can't get the mod to have a thumbnail.

slender brook
#

Thumbnails must named thumbnail.png and be 512x512 or less

humble cedar
#

alright i'll try to fix that in a second.

#

but i've gotta figure out why the names are still the same

#

and why the flags are upside down.

#

@slender brook do you by any chance know why the flags are upside down?

#

or how to solve it?

slender brook
#

Nope, never seen that before. I guess you could try reexporting them

humble cedar
#

im gonna ask assistance a lot so im very sorry if i keep pinging you.

#

im going to try to make the flags upside down.

#

see if that helps.

#

and for some reason the localisation isn't changing as well.

#

the names were supposed to be different.

#

huh, i must turn the flags upside down.

#

and for some reason the communist flag is a different one, so i'll fix that as well.

slender brook
#

Well the thing with the localisation is probably just because the overwrites aren't working for some reason

#

So I think you would either have to overwrite the whole thing or make your own cosmetic tag

humble cedar
#

well i just completely copied it from an other mod, so that might be the case.

#

Would you by any chance come by a good name for a democratic and a communist byzantium?

#

im thinking of making them "United States Of Byzantium" and "Communist States Of Byzantium"

slender brook
#

Byzantine Federation and the Socialist Byzantine Republics

humble cedar
slender brook
#

You could. There's an infinite number of arrangements you could make for it

humble cedar
#

but that would just be the normal name of the communist byzantium so i'll go with Socialist Republic Of Byzantium

#

localisation should work now.

humble cedar
#

well the thumbnail is still not showing up but whatever i'll fix it later.

#

huh.

#

now the flags are not showing up.

#

and the names still don't change.

#

@slender brook (srry for the ping again) Do you think it might be like that because im using caps?

slender brook
#

I would not be sure, but I think things like these are not generally case sensitive. You can try though

humble cedar
#

the mod im copying the code from had the flags in lower case letters.

#

the flagsshould probably work now, if it does then i must fix the localisation

#

ok it didn't work.

#

guess im going to completely copy everything and replace the stuff with my stuff.

humble cedar
#

@slender brook good news, the localisation is working as intended.

#

bad news, the flags are non-existant

slender brook
#

I see. Did you disable compression on the flags?

humble cedar
#

i have no clue.

#

im using photoshop.

humble cedar
slender brook
#

It works

#

Compression makes it not workl

humble cedar
slender brook
#

I dunno

#

I would export one flag, make sure compression is disabled, and see if that one works

humble cedar
#

it might be as well cause im using notepad++ to convert the pngs to tga files.

#

somehow that works even though notepad++ is used for, well, text documents.

#

guess im going to copy the 1st method i did yesterday

#

where i saved them as a png and then went to a png to tga converter.

#

@slender brook (last ping) you were correct, the files were indeed somehow compressed.

#

my first mod, was a success.

#

not that big of a mod but it was successfull

I am going to predict this is a bracket issue but will go check properly

#

It's a bracket issue

twilit arch
#

aaaah

#

i should look at it when my brain is good

slender brook
#

Two extra closing brackets on the first

twilit arch
#

so i can find them

slender brook
#

Here is my tip: Indentation is crucial

#

Always always properly indent

twilit arch
#

what isnt indented?

slender brook
#

Oh maybe it was just how I pasted it in

#

Actually no yeah it is wrong

#

You don't have proper indentation

#

Every time a bracket opens, out one
Every time a bracket closes, in one

Our map expert is doing the heavy work

jade mauve
#

is there a way of increasing resistance with a flat number?

pale sparrow
#

Yes

jade mauve
#

how is it called?

pale sparrow
#

State scope -> resistance

jade mauve
#

thanks

#

also, is there a way of checking every state that is owned my a country but is not a core?

pale sparrow
#

Yes

jade mauve
#

would it be something like this?

pale sparrow
#

Almost

#

Controls_state takes the state number, thus is for other scopes

#

You want

#

is_controlled_by = ENG there

jade mauve
#

is the part "is_in_continent = africa" correct?

like this?

pale sparrow

I believe so

jade mauve
#

let me try

#

it didnt work

dire rivet
#

all_state is a trigger scope not an effect scope

jade mauve
#

ok, so i got something to work, the weird thing is that its taking stats from france, italy, and i assume a heck of a lot more states that are not owned by england even tho in the trigger it states all owned states by england that are not cores

dire rivet
#

every_state = {
limit = {
is_owned_by = ENG
NOT = { is_core_of = ENG }
}
add_resistance = 0.1
}

#

try this

jade mauve
#

nothing

#

did i miss a bracket or something?

dire rivet
#

something I found out with event modding is that sometimes the game needs to be reloaded

#

as it gets confused

#

try keeping this code but restart the save or the game

jade mauve
#

lets reload the game then

dire rivet
#

and then try

#

yes

jade mauve
#

i really hope it works

dire rivet
#

it should

jade mauve
#

"should" being the key word

#

something similar happened to me a few weeks ago trying to do the same thing but with state modifiers

#

it was hell lmao

dire rivet
#

I feel ya

jade mauve
#

also, i found out that the "is_on_continent = " only works with capitals?

dire rivet
#

that I don't know

jade mauve
#

a'ight

#

it appears it works now

#

thank you very much!

dire rivet
#

no problem man

jade mauve
#

do you know why compliance gain aint working?

pale sparrow
pale sparrow
jade mauve
#

ah

#

so compliance_factor?

pale sparrow
#

that doesnt seem an effect either

#

add_dynamic_modifier perhaps

jade mauve
#

i was thinking something more of a flat factor

#

not a percentual one

pale sparrow
#

only add/remove compliance unless you want to go into modifiers

jade mauve
#

thats the thing

#

compliance = X didnt work

pale sparrow
#

Just check the effect page options

Is there anyway to make focus tree mods work together?

If its really only focus trees they effect they should be default unless theres problematic country overlap

mint rover
#

I never been able to get focus tree mods to work together if there not from the same author

pale sparrow
#

Im guessing the authors mustve done something preventable that makes it trickier than it should be

mint rover
#

Is there anyway to make them work together?

pale sparrow
#

Except for fiddling with load order not unless you edit them yourself

mint rover
#

So the order they are in the list is the order they load in?

To be honest, I was thinking this might be a scam because I saw the same thing yesterday. Just downloaded. Good to know it isn't

odd spindle
#

xDD

#

that same mod?

slender brook

No, it was just someone posing as a modder asking people to play their mod. But instead of mod files it just had a .exe

#

nice bait i guess xd

slender brook

I'm gonna do my tried and true method of just deleting files until it stops crashing

odd spindle

thx dude

#

I deleted strategic regions and it works

odd spindle
#

Ooooo

#

nice

#

awesome

slender brook
odd spindle
#

yea i know xd

slender brook
#

There are a few issues it would seem

odd spindle
#

o shit xD

slender brook
#

Actually hold on I'll just check if this isn't my fault somehow

odd spindle
#

ok

stuck mist
#

Lack of replace paths most likely is the cause for that error

slender brook
#

Yeah I immediately realised that when I saw it

#

Yeah no it's fine

odd spindle
#

good to know

stuck mist
#

Also a little bit of advice, don't have the land touch both sides of the map on the east and west, because otherwise you'll have weird issues with the map wrapping around with weird naval invasions being possible. Besides not having land touch the border, you could just have a strip of land/sea unowned on both sides that prevents this if you must keep it this way

odd spindle
#

that's true, I don't thinked about that when i was making map xd

#

but thx for advice, for future mods

#

so, only Strategic regions cause fatal problems?

slender brook
#

From what I'm seeing. Still map errors so the game will still crash without debug mode

odd spindle

same flag, different colors.

i made the sun of vergina bigger.

#

and i think this is the finished product.

#

now time for me to go on and create 3 more versions of the same flag

#

but different ideologies.

#

im gonna do the communist one real quick.

jade mauve
#

the objective of this is to make texas a puppet of the us if the us or one of its subjects controll texas, will it work or did i forget something?

slender brook
#

It would also be any_country

#

Every_country is an effect

#

Since this a decision, you could easily remove the limits and just put them as conditions for the decision

#

I would also just do release
USA = {
release = TEX
puppet = TEX
}

jade mauve
jade mauve
slender brook
#

I don’t know you would do that but I suppose it’s just to test it out

jade mauve
#

yeah

#

however, will releasing them take into account the cores?

slender brook
#

Yes

#

If Texas other cores it would release them as well

jade mauve
#

i didnt know that

jade mauve
humble cedar
#

god i made this monstrosity just to use for democratic macedonia

jade mauve
humble cedar
#

wanna see the other macedonian flags i made?

jade mauve
#

ok, uhh, the fascist flag looks quite neat, in the monarchist flag you could try using a yellow laurel with some details as well as decreasing the size of the sun(is that a sun?)
and for the communist flag you could try finding a higher quality coat of arms and maybe removing the stars and stripes, or changing the color of the sprites

humble cedar
#

by yellow laurel you mean the leafs?

jade mauve
#

in the case of the communist flag, i could reccoment finding a gear in google inages or using a part of the USA CP. and for the laurels you can cut out the ones that the DDR flag had

jade mauve
jade mauve
#

its an olive laurel i think

humble cedar
#

the monarchist one is supposed to symbolize all of the greek eras.

jade mauve
#

yeah, but the star overlaps a few elements and the laurel is another color, which can distract a bit

humble cedar
#

starting from the Pre-Macedonian Empire (the leaf)
macedonian empire (Star Of Vergina)
the byzantine empire (Byzantine B's)
and current greece (the themeo f the flag)

humble cedar
jade mauve
#

do you want me to send you the resources for the communist flag?

humble cedar
#

i only have to remake 2 flags, which isn't really a problem.

#

I just have to get that one good looking monarchist flag.

jade mauve
#

ok

#

let me see if i can also pull of a monarchist flag

#

whats the size of your images?

humble cedar
#

1920 X 1080

jade mauve
#

alright

#

also, i'd recommend using a 2:3 ratio or 3:5 one, as that is the size of most flags

humble cedar
jade mauve
#

i mean that in the case of a 2:3 ratio, if the flag is 33 cm wide, it will be 22 cm tall

humble cedar
#

alright.

jade mauve
#

so, in the case of the 3:5 ratio, you can divide the horizontal size by 5, see how long each part is and then multiply that by 3, giving you the height

humble cedar
#

im gonna go play some valorant and then continue with the flag madness.

stuck mist
#

A flag is 82x52 large, 41x26 medium, and 10x7 small btw so remember small details will be lost when you put it in game

jade mauve
#

its for hoi4

#

forgot that XD

stuck mist
#

Which really, when making a flag, should be around double the large then shrunk down not 1920x1080 or whatever it is

humble cedar
#

i'll just have to find a different small flag when i do the 10 x 7 flags.

#

like i did with my byzantine flags.

#

i just deleted the white part and used this.

#

which i should probably change it to this one.

stuck mist
#

The 3 sizes are usually just the same flag shrunk down because it's all the same country regardless

humble cedar
jade mauve
#

i made this quite quickly, so its not my best work

#

now i need to go out and will be back after a bit over an hour

#

good luck

Well I have tried deleting all files in Strategic regions folder, but after that game still crash when I start game, even if i'm in debug mode, there must be something else that cause game crash

humble cedar
#

Finnaly done with all of the flags.

#

now i just have to turn them upside down and add localisation to them.

#

do i have to make a new localisation folder for macedonia to change their name?

#

this should have changed macedonians name to the ones shown below, why didn't it do that?

#

i did the exactly same thing with byzantium and that worked.

jade mauve
#

did i do it right?

thin chasm
# humble cedar

I'm far from an expert on the game's code, but it's possible that the game is prioritising the MAE name strings included in the base game

#

Did you make sure to remove them from countries_cosmetic_l_english.yml?

humble cedar
#

the normal base game files?

thin chasm
#

Copy and page the file from the base game into your mod's localisation folder, if you haven't already, and remove the strings from that

humble cedar
#

like i just paste it into my mod?

thin chasm
#

No, no, just remove those strings from countries_cosmetic_l_english.yml in your mod's localisation folder

humble cedar
#

you mean these : " ?

#

i don't know what you mean by strings so im kind of confused.

thin chasm
#

Every individual line of that screenshot defines a name for a particular country under a particular ideology

#

So we call those name strings

#

So yes, remove those name strings

humble cedar
#

i think i did it?

#

@thin chasm can you be more specific on what are name strings.?

#

could you send like the symbol or smth

#

i can't seem to be able to figure it out on my own.

thin chasm
#

It is every individual line in that file

#
 MAE_neutrality:0 "Macedonian State"
 MAE_fascism:0 "Macedonian Empire"
 MAE_democratic:0 "Grand Republic of Greater Macedonia"
 MAE_communism:0 "Collective of Argos"
 MAE_neutrality_DEF:0 "the Macedonian State"
 MAE_fascism_DEF:0 "the Macedonian Empire"
 MAE_democratic_DEF:0 "the Grand Republic of Greater Macedonia"
 MAE_communism_DEF:0 "the Collective of Argos"
 MAE_fascism_ADJ:0 "Hellenistic"
 MAE_neutrality_ADJ:0 "Macedonian"
 MAE_democratic_ADJ:0 "Macedonian"
 MAE_communism_ADJ:0 "Hellenistic"```
#

Just to be crystal clear

#

Files these specific lines from the copy and pasted file countries_cosmetic_l_english.yml in your mod's localisation folder

#

And remove them

#

See if that helps

humble cedar
#

i think i did it?

#

Hey i did it!

#

Thank you

thin chasm
#

There you go

humble cedar
#

so i just copy the files, from the hoi4 files.

#

paste them into my own mod files.

#

and then just rename them.

thin chasm
#

Now, as for WHY that worked

#

The game first loads every file in the base game, before loading the files in any activated mods

#

When the load finished, the game ended up prioritising its own names for Macedonia over yours for reasons I can only guess at

#

So keep an eye out for that in the future

humble cedar
#

i didn't quite understand that but im going to try to guess what it means?

#

so when i typed all of the lines of code by my hands, it didn't work but when i copied and pasted it it worked

#

Intresting stuff.

#

at least now i know to just copy and paste stuff from the hoi4 files.

#

i thank you a lot for your time.

#

@thin chasm one last question, how do i make it so colors change depending on the country you play as?

#

for example when someone forms byzantium, the country becomes purple, how do i do the same for the Macedonian empire so they become Dark Purple (on neutrality) and Dark Blue (on fascism and democracy) and Dark Red (on communism)

#

im pretty sure it is possible.?

thin chasm
#
  1. Go to the base game's common/countries folder, and find cosmetic.txt
  2. Copy that file, and paste it into your mod's folder in [your mod]/common/countries (create the countries folder if it doesn't exist)
  3. In the newly created cosmetic.txt file in your mod's folder, search for MAE_communism to find the Macedonia section
  4. Replace MAE with mae for all four Macedonia tags
  5. Change color and color_ui for the four Macedonia tags to your preferred colours
#

↑ Use this tool if you need help with finding the colour code you need

#

Just find the colour you want, get the RGB numbers on the side, and replace the three numbers in the Macedonia section of cosmetic.txt with those three numbers

#

This is as clear as I can make it, good luck

humble cedar
#

@thin chasm one last thing, what is the "color_ui" and what does it do?

thin chasm
#

I'm not sure what specifically color_ui affects - just make sure it has the same values as color

humble cedar
#

will sure do.

#

welp i tried but the colors didn't change.

humble cedar
#

yes

#

im still trying to make it so when im communist byzantium it is red color.

#

instead of purple color.

#

and while im monarchist macedonian empire (non-aligned) the color will be purple, when communist dark red and while fascist or democratic dark blue.

#

but i can't make it work.

wet lotus
#

purple is superior

#

to any color

humble cedar
#

yes

#

but purple stands for royalty so it wouldn't really make sense if it was a communist country with purple.
