[quaint sundial]

U need "" for paths im pretty sure, or at least it was needed

[hollow bear]

i mean worst case scenario i do both

eyyy it worked

[quaint sundial]

And u can also use "" when using GFX entry too

[hollow bear]

thank you everyone ❤️

[quaint sundial]

Perhaps u needed "" in ur GFX entry lol

[hollow bear]

yeps uhhh one question where do i put the name of the country?

[quaint sundial]

Uh?

Wot u mean by name of country?

The literal name?

[obtuse condor]

Do you mean localization

[hollow bear]

yes

[quaint sundial]

Copy the vanilla countries loc file and follow the format

[hollow bear]

oooh ok thanks

[quaint sundial]

Rename it and delete all countries if u don't like big mess

But before deleting all countries in ur loc file, don't forget to leave one

For base to ur country

[obtuse condor]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation

[quaint sundial]

Dats general localisation, don't remember it speaking specifically about country naming

[hollow bear]

you dont know by any chance the name of the file?

[obtuse condor]

It’s simple, just look at the ’basics’ chapter. If you can’t rename your country after reading that, you are prolly just stupid

[quaint sundial]

Countries_l_english

[hollow bear]

is it this one?

[quaint sundial]

U know u need to follow a specific format to name ur countries right?

[hollow bear]

ok thanks ❤️

[quaint sundial]

No

Dats political parties

[obtuse condor]

Yeah, but you can figure that out by just looking at the file.

[quaint sundial]

And dats wat I told him

[quaint sundial]

It is countries, just countries, countries_l_english

Iirc

[quaint sundial]

U don't need the wiki to figure out the country naming if u see the file, u literally just need to know ur Tag and know the name u want ur country to have for all the parties

Or just name the country without any party specified and so all parties without the specified name will have Dat default name

[hollow bear]

yeah i saw that and fixed it

[hollow bear]

well im back uhhh i have i think a diffferent problem i have an error that says

[19:55:34][texturehandler.cpp:160]: Texture Handler encountered missing texture file: gfx/leaders/SKA/portrait_Huldar.dds

however i have it

nvm

im stupid i added a extra .dds

[golden charm]

How do I make cosmetic tags change the color of a country

[quaint sundial]

I don't think that's possible

[golden charm]

It is I just dont know how to do it

[quaint sundial]

U can change the cosmetic tag localisation to give ur country a custom name, but change color? I never seen it

[golden charm]

Its used in colorise your country and things like formable reichskommisariats in the base game

[quaint sundial]

It could be hard-coded...

[golden charm]

No the actual cosmetic tag itself gives the grey color

If you give cosmetic tag UKR_reichskommissariat to some random country it will turn grey

[quaint sundial]

Well, u could do a global search for the tag in game files and see every place we're it was mentioned and see if anything about colors pops

[quaint sundial]

Oh the cosmetic tag for Ukraine reichcomissariat doesn't have a localisation, just changes color...

[edgy solar]

isn't there a file in common/countries called cosmetic specifully for this colour changing?

[golden charm]

I never noticed that, thanks alot

[obtuse condor]

[quaint sundial]

Ohhh, dats wat Dat file is for

[mortal epoch]

Hey guys, is it possible to play a music file only for a certain country, not ideology?

[quaint sundial]

Uh?

[quaint sundial]

Wat do u mean? Wich music plays for ideologies?

[quaint sundial]

Well

[quaint sundial]

Dats not a file Dat plays for a certain ideology, it also plays with a war, but if u want it to play for a specific country, I gess u could copy the Syntax of that example u sent me, but put a tag instead of an ideology, and delete the has war one too

Factor is just the chance of it playing

U can increase the chance

With certain triggers

[vital wharf]

something is broken and i can't figure out what

[proud tangle]

I just imagine a cube rolling over Italians in the deserts

[mortal epoch]

[mortal epoch]

do you know what can be wrong?

[11:55:03][virtualfilesystem.cpp:252]: Could not open file: common/countries/Novorossiya, error: not found
[11:55:03][virtualfilesystem.cpp:252]: Could not open file: common/countries/Don-Volga, error: not found

[mortal epoch]

okay this is just because im stupid and I compressed it

[dense condor]

anyone that has terrible history mod?

with italy and stuff

from kazuma?

[mortal epoch]

stalin paranoia be like

[quaint sundial]

do variable operations get read inside triggers? like set_variable and multiply_variable ?

[outer blaze]

the console command "ai" that toggle off ai, does it also remove their construction que? I wanna use ic command for navy and wonder if by disabling ai will not let them also build instant

[vital wharf]

I should not be trusted to mod

Like actually

[lavish plaza]

mod recommendation for Finn player?

or has r56 up to date

[pale sparrow]

no

Revert version

[lavish plaza]

perhaps any other mod recomendations now that I am not occupied by 56

[pale sparrow]

Nah idk any except maybe a Finland specific one

[lavish plaza]

stronk then it is

[lavish plaza]

know any mods to improve game performance (not question of PC power)

[pale sparrow]

Use debug_smooth

Or use a mod that removes countries you dont need

[quaint sundial]

were should i create my array to add countries to a dynamic list for my gui?

(dat is also for a diplo action)

[quaint sundial]

anyone here got experience in scripted guis, specifically, dynamic lists?

[dense pebble]

Hello.

I’m having an extremely weird problem!
I created a mod and when I wanted to publish it on the Workshop, the export failed. Trying a second time, in the Paradox launcher, I am told that the file is not found. The answer I get is that the file was not found (k_EResultNotFound)

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you for your attention to my request.
I tried several times, with several possibilities, it still hasn’t worked.

[chrome atlas]

scuffed 56

[copper loom]

What could be the reason for the .mod file to simply erase all replace_path entries so i have to reassign it over and over again?

[robust nova]

how do you edit an already published mod? There's this one mod i like, but it changes a few leader portraits and focus icons, so i'd like to just delete those changes

[mortal epoch]

i think its just uploading

like

you download it

then

you make your own mod folder

change what you need

and then upload

[mortal epoch]

try making new mod then exporting it

[robust nova]

yeah but like...how

what do i do/delete

i've never modded before

[mortal epoch]

oh, well i strongly recc iron workshop then

[copper loom]

I think there is a easier way to do that

[mortal epoch]

https://www.youtube.com/c/TheIronWorkshop

[copper loom]

Go to steamapps/workshop/content/number of HOI IV and there are all mod files you have downloaded, and you can edit all of them

[mortal epoch]

yeah, but I think he also wanna upload it to workshop

[copper loom]

Thats at least what i thought of

[robust nova]

ok so i've found the folder of leader portraits, would i just delete the ones i don't like and that's it?

[copper loom]

are there names changed and such?

[robust nova]

i'm not quite sure

[copper loom]

Like is Winston Churchill called "Peta Paka" or something? 😄

[robust nova]

for some additional context, the mod i'm trying to change is snow's reichskommisariats. The mod itself is pretty good, but for some reason it changes the portraits of a few leaders, and some focus icons as well. all i wanna do is revert those back to the default

[copper loom]

ok wait ill look it up

oof, why did i even start modding paradox games xD

ok wait

So...

If you just want to remove the new leaders, remove the leaders picture and then go to /history/countries and there you go to the entries e.g LIT - Lithuania.txt and delete possible "recruit_character" entries BUT that will make the leaders names and portraits go generic, if you want to completely reset the leader you either do the work and do the recruit_character entries of the old leaders by yourself or you simply delete the .txt file. Außerdem, you'll have to go to common/characters and delete the desired entries which look like "ALB.txt". I think i won't recommend deleteing something like "ALB_ideas.txt" and such.

oof

If questions are there, ask 😄

[robust nova]

ok i think i got it to work

how do i test it?

[copper loom]

If you go tinto debug mode, that is Steam > Properties (of HOI IV) and the in the line on the bottom you simply type -debug

then, in the launcher, activate the mod and on it goes

[pale sparrow]

Submod that reverts references to changed things

[copper loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHObHtmYE0M&t=370s Nothing better than listening to my countries older self when modding 😄

[copper loom]

He never modded, lets not make things too complicated

Ok what mod are you guys working on these times? Making a Modern day mod (Somewhat of a collection too), since 1.12 everything on the map is basically cancer on my eyes xP

[pale sparrow]

Its easier

Simply removing files isnt gonna work for focus icons, assuming they used seperate new ones, with portraits it could be as simple as removing the file

[copper loom]

Oh, thats true, didnt think of that, nah never made a submod but i think if he wants to start mod he is gonna learn it pretty fast, a little hard to explain issue solutions xD

Oh wait...

[copper loom]

Still having this issue, maybe you know why this happens?

[pale sparrow]

Also has to be in the descriptor likely

[copper loom]

OOOOOH HELL thats what the previous one didnt tell me xD thank you

[raw scarab]

Hello guys! I have a small problem. where are located the RAJ_revive_the_screw_guns_effect ROM_modern_at_guns_tech_tt tooltips? It says if I change (the tech value I should change aswell the tooltips) but idk where they are.

[pale sparrow]

Simple do search all files in a certain folder with a real text editor

Visual Studio Code, or Notepad++ if thats not an option

[raw scarab]

By certain folder you mean that I should try first the suspect ones then others?
How do I do that with notedpad++? never done that, maybe I should google it.

[pale sparrow]

In search menu theres a folder option somewhere

[slender brook]

Find in Files I believe it is called?

[pale sparrow]

I think so yes

In VSC its separate from normal search, in both a nice and an awful way

[raw scarab]

found it o.o
Another quesiton, should I narrow it down to "common" folder or should I do that in the entire hoi4 folder?

[slender brook]

Custom tooltips are usually in localisation

So search the localisation folder

[pale sparrow]

^^

[polar kestrel]

Does anyone know a mod that is similar to how Road to 56 when you get war goals instead of having a shorter justifying time

[pale sparrow]

wargoals instead of claims?

[vital wharf]

My launcher is broken, I can’t update already published mods, it makes me create a new mod

[polar kestrel]

Yeah I think so

[pale sparrow]

Ensure MOD ID displayed in the launcher matches the one in Steam

[polar kestrel]

like without the mod when I complete some focuses they give me a shorter justification time for certain countries but Road to 56 makes it a war goal

[vital wharf]

It is

[pale sparrow]

Yeh I know what you mean, Wizard

[polar kestrel]

then that is what I am looking for

[edgy solar]

i think if you want to update already published mods you have to recreate it through the launcher

I'm not too sure on that but if you want to give it a shot nontheless

[vital wharf]

i have 12 copies of the same mod

[vital wharf]

im an idiot for the broken divisions

i was launching the out of date version of my mod

[obtuse condor]

how do i put a gap in my event text

like pressing enter just screws the localization so how do i make a gap to separate lines of text

[proud tangle]

Maybe \n?

That’s what the code is for a new line in python

You include it in the text

[polar kestrel]

Does anyone know a mod that does this?

[lofty plaza]

\n\n

Each \n makes a new line

[slender brook]

No

[slender brook]

Also a sussy event

[warm trout]

how can I change politic power gain base value

[main steeple]

daily?

like for every nation

?

[warm trout]

yes yes every nation

in beginning of game base value normally 2.0 I want to make 3.0

but I couldnt find main folder to change

[slender brook]

That’s probably a define

And yeah; do not overwrite all defines

[warm panther]

Yes, overwrite just one file by copypasting all in one original text doc into the modded equivalent

[obtuse anvil]

New to modding, is there a tutorial for how to mod the UI like millenium dawn, Thousand Week Reich, TNO, and old world blues?

I really wanna make my own UI mod.

[quaint sundial]

bro just started and already wanna go to complex stuff... its gui, idk

hey how can i display my variable value in localisation?

[quaint sundial]

the only gui i done was a custom window for one diplo ation i also did, so idk to make menus and stuff

[obtuse anvil]

Oh wait it's more difficult?

[quaint sundial]

its a custom main menu right?

[obtuse anvil]

Thought it was easier since making events/focus would require me to research some history

[obtuse anvil]

Yea just trying to change the colors.

[quaint sundial]

wait... colors?

could u give an example?

[obtuse anvil]

Like you know from green to like gray

[quaint sundial]

but change color of wat?

[obtuse anvil]

Aight wait

Just like this

Normally it is green.

[quaint sundial]

u want the buttons green to get grey? oh

umm, its not very complex

u just need to recolor the textures used in that UI

[obtuse anvil]

Yep but I don't know where to start

[quaint sundial]

lemme see

did u ever do a mod, at least 1?

[obtuse anvil]

Since I'm new I don't really new what folder to look and what file to change

[obtuse anvil]

Nah

[quaint sundial]

oh, then u need to create ur mod in the launcher, go to launcher and create a new mod

so u get ur files ready

[obtuse anvil]

Yep done that.

[quaint sundial]

now u go to ur mod folder

[obtuse anvil]

Done.

[quaint sundial]

btw when it asks for the version, its not ur game version, is ur mod version

saw 1 guy comit dat mistake

[obtuse anvil]

Yea got it thx.

[quaint sundial]

so now ure inside urmod file right?

[obtuse anvil]

Yep

[quaint sundial]

ok open a new explorer

[obtuse anvil]

Done.

[quaint sundial]

now wait while i find the file to edit

[obtuse anvil]

Alr.

[quaint sundial]

ok sry, cant find were the files at, ask someone who knows, probably anyone else here

it should be in gfx, but idk were

[obtuse anvil]

Alr I should look one by one.

Thx for trying.

Is there like a debug mode where I could just hover my cursor on a certain UI to know what the name is?

[south folio]

It's in gfx/interface called main_lobby_button.dds

[quaint sundial]

There gui command, but I'm almost sure it only works inside a game, not in main menu

[quaint sundial]

Jorji man, I knew u could gib all the answers 😄

[obtuse anvil]

Oh thx found it.

[quaint sundial]

BTW, perhaps u know the answer of my problem

How do u make ur variable show the value in loc

[south folio]

[?Root.var|0H]

[quaint sundial]

BTW DON'T FREKIN EDIT BASE GAME Files, copy it to ur mod and edit

Use the exact game path, so u need to create in ur mod gfx, interface inside it, and paste the dds and edit it

[quaint sundial]

|0H or |OH?

[south folio]

Zero

[quaint sundial]

Ok

[south folio]

the H doesn't have to be an H it determines the colour. it can be G for green or whaterver your preference

[quaint sundial]

And also is root needed? Wat if I don't specify the scope?

[south folio]

I'm pretty sure you have to specify the scope so it knows where to pull it from.

[quaint sundial]

Wat if it is a "global" variable if Dat even exists, like no scope is given when adding the var, will I need to add global. Or nothing?

[south folio]

I don*t think global variables exists. But i'm unsure.

[quaint sundial]

Ok

It is root for me, I'll try when get in game

[obtuse anvil]

Yea I copied the base game files and pasted it into my mod folder.

[quaint sundial]

U need to use game path

Did u create gfx and interface inside gfx?

[obtuse anvil]

Ye working nice.

[quaint sundial]

Noic

[copper loom]

First problem: how can the provinces in the first few lines invalid when there is the province map of 1.11 (working) and the old states map? And second problem: There are no sites defined for all the swiss and ethiopian states but these states are overwritten by the old ethiopia state and eastern and western switzerland?

Wait...

A better look

[quaint sundial]

dont mess with map boi, its very confusing

[copper loom]

Im just trying to bring the map of my modern day mod to the 1.12 😭

[quaint sundial]

is it made in 1.11?

[south folio]

atleast the rocket sites and airports can be validated in nudge.

[copper loom]

I dont really use nudge... can you validate all states?

[south folio]

yeah you can all at once.

[copper loom]

ok i will lookat it when i can move myself to start hoi today 😄

[south folio]

Just a note. When they have been valitdated they'll not be put in your mod folder they'll be put in Paradox Interactive/Hearts Of Iron IV/map

[quaint sundial]

is there any variable dat measures how many countries are guaranteed by some country?

hm

does a variable need to be set in order to work with it? or i can add 1 to some non existant variable and it will exist now

[pale sparrow]

I havent used them but IIRC yes

[obtuse anvil]

Tried to change the homepage location but it got overlapped by the background gui.

Any suggestions?

[quaint sundial]

yo how u got gui in main menu?

[obtuse anvil]

use -debug launch options

[quaint sundial]

ye

and

[obtuse anvil]

Oh yea and press `

It would show the gui

[quaint sundial]

wats dat?

[obtuse anvil]

Um.

Below esc

[quaint sundial]

[limber hatch]

anyone know a mod that lets pupets declare war to get independence

[quaint sundial]

[odd rivet]

How do i change equimpent 3d models?
Im using the ultimate tech tree mod and i want to replace the model that the 1946 jet uses with the actual jet model instead of the prop plane one

[obtuse condor]

where do i put the \n

what does this error mean

[buoyant dove]

It means the loc file has the wrong encoding

What editor do@you use

[obtuse condor]

sublime text

[quaint sundial]

Localisation files need to be utf8 boom, instead of the default utf8

[lofty plaza]

Where you want the line to break

It bassicly acts as an enter

[quaint sundial]

Umm

Efficiency 100

[quaint sundial]

Does sublime text have utf8 boom?

Open a game localisation file and see wat it uses

[obtuse condor]

wtf

[quaint sundial]

Bom

[obtuse condor]

it uses it but its not an option

[quaint sundial]

Bruh

[obtuse condor]

i guess i should just recycle another localization file maybe

[quaint sundial]

Then all u can do is copy it and paste ur contents inside

[rugged scaffold]

I NEED THAT MOD

Now I need 3d planes in research stab

[obtuse anvil]

Been messing around with some stuff and run into a problem.

Tried to give mainmenu_social_buttons a background but the buttons always got overlapped like that.

[quaint sundial]

The icons need to be in the same container as the background and the background needs to be big enough to fit the icons

[obtuse anvil]

Found the problem.

I should've change the positiontype and not the position of the social container.

And now it's working.

[frosty tartan]

anyone know if theres a way to mod warscore?

[fair perch]

Does anyone have a Japan in Europe mod that works?

[steady dove]

I had an idea for my mod in which if a country has a claim on a state, if they occupy or own that state and have 55% compliance and under 15% resistance then they'd be able to core that state. I understand this is possible for specific countries but is there a way to make it a universal system so I don't have to implement it for every country or would I be better sticking to case-by-case?

[obtuse anvil]

Any thoughts?

[steady dove]

i like the sleek look a lot

[obtuse anvil]

[steady dove]

are all those custom assets?

[dawn forum]

Did the TNO team based the rev. nazism icon from the Rozenkampism icon from EaW?

[obtuse anvil]

Try asking in tno discord

Should I switch to photoshop for gui editing and making icons?

Currently using paint.net

[steady dove]

pretty sure both are inspired by the real life ideology Strasserism

[dawn forum]

The icon I mean

[steady dove]

They're both based on Strasserism which this is the icon of

[dawn forum]

strasserism has sword and hammer but these have 2 hammers to make it look like North Korea's ideology

[steady dove]

Yea cuz it looks cooler and it doesn't directly say Strasserism

[dawn forum]

exactly

[steady dove]

So they can fit other ideologies under the term

Ones that have slight variations but they want to keep in the same vein of Revolutionary Nazism and Rozenkampism respectively

[steady dove]

Basically they're both inspired by Strasserism but Strasserism is a very specific term for a very specific people so they changed the names and made the icon more streamlined

Oh wait isn't Rozenkampism for Bronzehill?

Hmm

Idr but I know that the one communist path for bronzehill is inspired by Juche (North Korea) while the other is Spartacism lol

[dawn forum]

Rozenkampism is for Feathasia but yes Bronzehill has a juche monarcho-socialist path

[steady dove]

yeah so they already have the juche subideology rozenkampism is definetely just strasserism

[mortal epoch]

could you give me the invite to both of them please

[stuck mist]

See above, every reddit post on our subreddit (r/hoi4modding) has a comment with the den invite link

As for the coop, it's also on the modding page of the hoi4 wiki

I might update it if it isnt

[obtuse anvil]

Oh countryballs

[sullen moth]

Just cuz I cant mod myself, heres an idea for anyone who wants to try it:

Replace the airframe aviation technology for every country so they only have interwar small airframes, and have jet engines as the only researchable engine that lasts as long as a normal at-time research techonology like 150 days instead of the ahead of time research penalty so that when ww2 kicks off, every country will have bi-planes with jet engines instead of the bf109s/hurricanes/yaks we historically saw

[rugged scaffold]

So... The pope is fascist, communist and republican at the same time?

[obtuse condor]

GO AWAY

[pale sparrow]

I fogor which slashes it uses you could always try the other variant

[slender brook]

Pretty sure it's forward slash

Which is the opposite, yeah

[obtuse anvil]

Thoughts on my dark ui mod? (not finished yet still lots to do)

[slender brook]

It really isn’t too noticable

But I take no issue with the actual design

[obtuse anvil]

Yea since HOI IV use some really dark green for their UI.

[dense valve]

yes

its funny

[warped bolt]

Is there an updated modding guide youtube series?

[obtuse anvil]

First time modding this game and not gonna lie, I'm lovin my own UI instead of the default one.

I'm too obsessed with black and white

[keen pagoda]

DUDE CAN YOU SHARE THAT IT LOOKS AMAZING

[quaint sundial]

if i add ai_strategy with value 100 and then 1 with value -100, do they cancel each other?

[astral lake]

<@&846894118219022336> This person seems to be posting in #966628825721090080 #latest-updates #hoi4-general same thing.

[obtuse anvil]

It is on workshop called dark ui.

Not updated yet tho

[keen pagoda]

not updated to 1.12.4?

[obtuse anvil]

It is updated for 1.12.4

But not everything is finished yet.

[obtuse anvil]

The current version doesn't have this ui modified.

[whole saffron]

guys

does anybody know why the millenium dawn mod runs really slow? it takes about 4 seconds to get through 1 day

[whole saffron]

@summer mortar

[quaint sundial]

I dont think this is legal, where Moderator?

[whole saffron]

boom

[quaint sundial]

Wow efficiency

100

[whole saffron]

they were hacked

they prob deleted it

[quaint sundial]

So many how?

[whole saffron]

cant imagine the stress they must be under currently

[quaint sundial]

All these seemingly normal accts

Get hacked pretty fast

[whole saffron]

they probably clicked on some link and gave hackers their info

[quaint sundial]

But there's so many... How did they all get hacked in small time?

[whole saffron]

im not sure

but

they use bots for the messages they spam in chat

[quaint sundial]

Makes sense

[mint hearth]

do you know cool mods?

or mod smth like 2022 map but not modern day

???

just 2022 map

[whole saffron]

i dont think there is a mod other than modern day for what your looking for

either way, im playing modern day right now, i dont see a problem with it

[mint hearth]

oh ok so you know other cool mods to play?

not modern day

[whole saffron]

kaiserredux

the great war redux

[mint hearth]

wait let me check

[whole saffron]

k

road to 56

[mint hearth]

i think kaiser is not too interesting

[mint hearth]

wait

i download this mod and check

[whole saffron]

it basically adds a couple new things, and also makes research go up to the year 56 and other stuff

instead of like, 45

[mint hearth]

get crashed from road 56

[whole saffron]

are you on the correct version?

[mint hearth]

no

[whole saffron]

then thats why

[mint hearth]

then should i only change the version?

[whole saffron]

yes

the game version that you are running the game on

[mint hearth]

fk where i can change version XD

[whole saffron]

make sure the game isnt running, and right click on hoi4

go to Properties

then Beta

click on None

and select the version the mod requires

[mint hearth]

okay

[whole saffron]

then close that and wait for hoi4 to update to the version

[mint hearth]

okaaay thanks so much

[whole saffron]

no problem

[manic wolf]

So how do I make gfx file of the sprites on the map when you zoom in

Like how do I change those?

[pastel coyote]

me when anton carton de viart road to 56

[pale sparrow]

huh

[prisma coral]

is there anything wrong here that could keep making my game crash?

i am trying to give xibei san ma more divs because i have them annex tibet so i copy and pasted tibets units into here

and now it just crashes

i dont see anything wrong with the 2 divs i pasted over from the tibet file

(the 2 bottom ones)

bigger image

i did the same thing for guanxi clique giving them yunnan and their divs and it worked

[proud tangle]

Maybe because the names have spaces?

[slender brook]

No, the “” should account for that

[slender brook]

I don’t see a final closing bracket in this image

[soft reef]

Does anyone know where to mod the production screen? Like i want to make the +10 factory button add more than 10 where is the file i need to change?

[warm panther]

The last division is missing a " at the division name

[slender brook]

Oh, good catch

[cursive turret]

where can i find images used for superevents and can i use them

[crystal vortex]

Is it possible to make a converter from Age of Civilizations/History 2 to HOI 4?

[cold totem]

Hey, I am the lead dev of a relatively big mod (MAA) and after the dlc my mod crahses whem ever I make certain orders (mainly fallback lines and garisons) when they touch certain state sin conditions I don't manage to understand yet.
Does anyone knows why this happens? The mod replaces a bunch of stuff so idk what could be causing it.

[jade mauve]

can you add effects to a country with the use of an iconType or something else in a custom gui?

[cold totem]

Yes.

[tight zealot]

Hey, do I need the DLC's for Total War mod to work?

[cold totem]

Through the effect of button types and there is an appearence effect

[obtuse condor]

Hello I am writing from the translator, in general I have a problem for about a month and I can not do mods. The game sort of doesn't detect them no matter how many times I try. Uninstalling the game and reinstalling did not help. Anyone maybe had this problem or is able to help?

[split ore]

I am trying to make a Haitian focus tree, but it doesn't work. (error logs say something about line 39 is wrong) What have I done wrong? (without S)

[quaint sundial]

last focus seems to have 1 less }

u didnt close the wargoal }

[split ore]

This is partly my fault, but the bracket seemed to have been trimmed out of the screenshot. (updated image)

[quaint sundial]

would be helpful if u showed lines too

numbers

[quaint sundial]

u trimmed again the brakets, now i cant see if u have clsoed the focus and complete effect brakets bruh

[quaint sundial]

and wat happens when u run game?

[split ore]

It only shows the first focus, and not the second.

[quaint sundial]

can u just send file? its easier for both

[split ore]

wdym?

[quaint sundial]

i can esly see ur error anf even fix and send u fixed file

[split ore]

Do you mean the document file or the Steam file? (sorry for this being inconvenient)

[quaint sundial]

the focuses file

ur focus file

[quaint sundial]

this

[quaint sundial]

u know, if things were a bit more appart, u could notice the error

also u using notepad++?

[quaint sundial]

.

[split ore]

yes

[quaint sundial]

u know theres a funfionality were u click in a bracket, and depending on the color, it shows u if it is closed or open?

[split ore]

I am new to Notepad++, so no.

[quaint sundial]

bruh

[jade mauve]

how you do it?

[cold totem]

Let me get it.

[quaint sundial]

also let ur code hav some space, imagine it needs to breathe lol, it was so clamped u couldnt even see the brakets, u had 2 open brakets

[quaint sundial]

here u go, use the format i made ur focuses, ull be able to ez see the brakets

[cold totem]

scripted_gui = {

south_pol_button = {
                context_type = player_context
                window_name = "south_pol_button"
                parent_window_name = "countrypoliticsview"
                visible = {
                        tag = CSA
                }
                effects = {
                        open_click = {
                                set_country_flag = strike_view
                        }
                }
        }

Here is an example of a simple effect.

It goes in scripted guis.

[quaint sundial]

wats dat?

[quaint sundial]

or is this just random?

[cold totem]

It is the button that opens the favours/kanye west's cenntralisation of power screen for the csa.

You also need a proper gui file.

So a scripted gui in common and .gui file in interface.

[obtuse condor]

Rp mod compatible with the newest version (dlc)?

[cold totem]

The dlc broke a lot.

[quaint sundial]

RP is roleplay right?

[quaint sundial]

I don't understand man, how can u make a scripted gui but u missed on a focus file?

[jade mauve]

i was thinking more of when something is visible in the trigger = {} part it gives an effect, kind of like when in the balance of power you get effects

[jade mauve]

bruh

[cold totem]

The visible makes it visible.

[quaint sundial]

U can make a button visible and then u can click it

[obtuse condor]

Ye

[cold totem]

U don't need that....

[quaint sundial]

If dats wat u want

[cold totem]

This button appears from the start.

As ypu can see by parent window, it appear in the country politics view.

[jade mauve]

i know, i just wanted to know if when the icon is visible (a.k.a, meets a requirement) it inmediately gives effects, not through ideas but directly an effect

or well

modifier

[quaint sundial]

BTW dats the only way to make buttons Dat have 2 tasks, cuz if u make like a selectable button for something, u can't deselect it, ull need to make a 2nd button and hide the first and show the second when u click it

[cold totem]

There is a way of doing that.

[jade mauve]

how?

[cold totem]

Wdym

[quaint sundial]

I could give an example with my PC, but I'm not there now, just turned off
Wat I mean is Dat ur button will only do wats inside the effect, u can't do the opposite by clicking a 2nd time

[jade mauve]

you can technically do that i think

with an if statement and flags if i remember correctly

[quaint sundial]

Ye dats true, but how will u remove the flag?

[jade mauve]

clr_country_flag

[quaint sundial]

Ah I got u

[quaint sundial]

Nah the problem was to know were u would put that code

[cold totem]

It is part of the element effects.

[quaint sundial]

But I remembered effects are executed in order, so u can make all effects and then put the clr country flag at the end

[cold totem]

Ifs.
An if exists if u wanna do that.

[jade mauve]

like that i think

[quaint sundial]

Wich country is SCP?

[jade mauve]

a custom one

[quaint sundial]

I know, but wats it's name

[cold totem]

Have the else clear the flag.

Also, my button only does one thing cuz u close what it opens.

Let me get the in game example.

[jade mauve]

yeah, its just that in my case, its ment to be clicked only once

[quaint sundial]

I made my button as 2 separate ones, and I must say, kinda waste but it works so...

Both buttons have some extensive code, so making them go together would be painful, I used some scripted effects also, like 6

[cold totem]

Just use an if.

[quaint sundial]

Ik

But I'm not gona do Dat rn

[jade mauve]

so, do you know how to do the thingy i wrote about?

modifier through ui and not ideas?

[cold totem]

A modifier?

Use hidden ideas or a dynamic modifier with no gfx.

[jade mauve]

yeah, like havin gthe effect trigger at the same time as an icon without adding hideas

[cold totem]

I do that for maa's fuel management mechanic.

[jade mauve]

hidden ideas?

[cold totem]

Yeah.

[jade mauve]

is that a thing?

[cold totem]

Ye.

[jade mauve]

i did not know that

[quaint sundial]

I don't think u can make modifiers execute automatically in guis

[cold totem]

And hidden dinamyc modifiers exists too.

[cold totem]

Dynamic modifiers.

[quaint sundial]

Instead of using countries in ur ideas file, use hidden_ideas

[quaint sundial]

Automatically?

[cold totem]

Ye.

[quaint sundial]

Gess it makes sense, I just don't know to use them lol

[quaint sundial]

I've been told dynamic modifiers are something like ideas, is Dat true?

[cold totem]

Ye.

But they can have variables.

[quaint sundial]

Then I should be able to learn to use

[quaint sundial]

Ideas can't?

[jade mauve]

thanks for the help, i will see what i can do

[quaint sundial]

Can't u add variables in ideas?

[jade mauve]

yes

i think you can

[quaint sundial]

Never tried, but I thought u could

[cold totem]

Only to dynamic modifiers.

[jade mauve]

oh right

[quaint sundial]

Wot? Damn

[jade mauve]

they must be defined as a dynamic mod.

[quaint sundial]

The idea or the variable?

[jade mauve]

the idea

[quaint sundial]

Ah

[quaint sundial]

One day I'll learn to use it, if I ever need it

[jade mauve]

a'ight

[quaint sundial]

It is only useful if ure like sovs in the new update, they have alot of ideas with extremely variable modifiers

Hey any of u beeg brain Dat can use dynamic modifiers know how can I make a mod Dat trashes suply, so I can play in Asia and África in peace?

[cold totem]

The tjing the button I showed doed is that it opens this gui (which you wpuld close with the little x).
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/711032455897022535/823437133418201088/unknown.png

[quaint sundial]

With trash I mean like delete the need of it

[cold totem]

(Old screenshot cuz I am on my phone).

[quaint sundial]

Is Dat red thing a progress bar?

[cold totem]

Kinda.
It represents how centralize Kanye west's power is.

If it is full by the time they try to kill him, you go down the theocratic path.

[quaint sundial]

And Dat red crosses represent the power or something each one has+

[cold totem]

The red x?

[quaint sundial]

Y

[cold totem]

It is how pissed each faction is.

If ur (kanye west) power isn't centralise and one of the faction is pissed, by the time the assasination attemp happens west will die and the confederacy will collapse into a 5 way civil war.

[quaint sundial]

U seem quite advanced in gui making lol, if I had known u before making my 1 week long gui

[quaint sundial]

Holy fug

[cold totem]

?

[quaint sundial]

U big brain

[cold totem]

Thx, lol.

[quaint sundial]

Also how do u do progress bars

[cold totem]

Have the bar move with the x property.

[quaint sundial]

Ah

[cold totem]

U make the border of the bar its unique window attached to the gui.

And have the bar move across it.

[quaint sundial]

But u can make an actual progress bar in gui

Brute force it is also good I gess lol

[cold totem]

Kinda.

It is complicated.

If u just move it u can have pixel level presition tho.

[jade mauve]

something like this?

[slender brook]

Yeah this looks right. But advice for modding is don’t make hidden effects on the first passthrough

[jade mauve]

are you sure it is just add_ideas = ?

[quaint sundial]

Wait

[cold totem]

Ye.

[quaint sundial]

It's wrong im pretty sure

[quaint sundial]

Ur ideas file is wrong

[jade mauve]

why?

[cold totem]

Do u get the effects?

[quaint sundial]

U don't change ideas to hidden_ideas

[cold totem]

Once the idea passes.

[quaint sundial]

U change countries to hidden_ideas

[cold totem]

Do u get the modifiers?

[jade mauve]

oh, thats it

[jade mauve]

no

ok, now it works

yup, it works

thanks

[quaint sundial]

If it is a hidden effect, how tit u get the tooltip? Did u temporarily remove the hidden effect command?

[jade mauve]

yeah

[slender brook]

Well yes you shouldn’t do hidden effects on first passthrough

You only hide stuff after it works

[quaint sundial]

Dats a nice test, it helped me

[quaint sundial]

BTW, do u know wat do I Need to mod to get unlimited supply for everyone?

Or make troops not consume supplies, maybe dats better

[slender brook]

I don’t do unlimited supply but I do use cheap supply hub mods

[quaint sundial]

Nah I wanna remove the need for suply entirely

Do I can play in Africa and india

And asia

[slender brook]

Anyways yeah a define might work

Not sure which

[quaint sundial]

A define controls the whole suply?

[slender brook]

Not sure but it might be able to affect it

[quaint sundial]

Hm

[obtuse condor]

where can i find the latest version of eaw and which hoi4 version is needed?

[quaint sundial]

Is it possible to show the modifiers tooltips in dynamic modifiers like in ideas?

[cold totem]

The modifier tooltip?

[quaint sundial]

Ye

[slender brook]

Don't they already show if you hover over

[quaint sundial]

My friend tried and no

[slender brook]

Which dynamic modifier

[quaint sundial]

One he created?

[slender brook]

I see. Where is it being applied

[quaint sundial]

National spirit as he showrd

Like an idea

But when he hovered over it, it shows the name only

[slender brook]

Well looking in 0_dynamic_modifiers at the Soviet 5 year plans might help, since from what I can tell they should display modifier

[quaint sundial]

K

[obtuse condor]

Uruguay path in my HOI4 mod

Deutsch-Uruguayischer Volksstaat

[quaint sundial]

Gess looks noice

[obtuse condor]

Can anyone help me find a leader for them?

[lofty plaza]

Every path has to be a German monarchist path somehow

[idle hollow]

guys, does anyone know how to update millennium down 2017 date?

because it says that it's outdated

[pale sparrow]

You cant update, the mod devs have to

[cold totem]

U can update the mod yourself if u want.
It will probably take some effort tho.

[obtuse condor]

i have the focus icon working in the tree but for some reason it only doesnt show up once its completed, why is that?

there's no errors related to it

[jade mauve]

check if you added the _shine to the animation file

also, i made a new equipment unit, if it has the name "mechanized_equipment" everything is ok, but once i change it to what i need it crashes, no brackets are missing and the file has a unique name, anyone have any idea why?

[jade mauve]

Now, that is weird

[obtuse condor]

yeah. i compared every line to the lines of a focus thats working properly and nothing seemed to be different at all besides the name itself being that theyre different focuses

maybe its my game but i feel like i should be getting an error

[jade mauve]

Did you restart the game when adding the new focus gfx?

[pale sparrow]

Wrong formatting of shine?

[crimson sail]

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

[pale sparrow]

Cringe

[obtuse condor]

hey guys

ive only made focus mods and maps and more

but nevver unit spawning

#Create units
division_template = {
name = "Example Division"
division_names_group = "KAZ_DIV_0_0"

}

#Spawn units
units = {
}

how does this work

[slender brook]

You’d have to elaborate a bit on what you’re wanting to know

Division template is essentially making a template

[obtuse condor]

ah

alright

[slender brook]

Units spawns a division in a province

[obtuse condor]

okay thanks

[jade mauve]

Spam?

@winged heron ?

or maybe they hacked her account?

[jade mauve]

nope

i dont think so

its been like that for a few days now

what is going on here?

[quaint sundial]

either STOOPIDITY or just weird beliefs (wich is also STOOPIDITY)

[jade mauve]

alright then

[quaint sundial]

eyy, this tactic can become op again

[jade mauve]

nice

[quaint sundial]

anyone know wat happens if u coment out supply needs of units? will it default to 0 or crash?

i found out the answer, game crashes

[jade mauve]

bruh

[granite rain]

Hey, I have question
Is there any tool that will help with creating new provinces and assigning them to countries? Something like EU4 Mod Editor if you know what is it

[green lark]

Set it to 0.1 or SMTH

[green lark]

Nudge?

[granite rain]

last time i used that i needed to reinstall the whole game

[green lark]

Yeah it sucks

Also why reinstall it

You can just validate files

[granite rain]

but yeah, like nudge

internet died

[jade mauve]

bruh

[granite rain]

in my case it didn't worked for some reason, idk why

[granite rain]

so do you know something like that or i need to use nudge?

[green lark]

Nudge is very buggy and it’s breaks vanilla files, but I usually just save the vanilla files and validate the files when I wanna play it

Reimport the vanilla files when I’m finished playing

[granite rain]

i'm looking for tool that will save the changes to the mod folder

[quaint sundial]

nah i can set 0, i just commented out instead of putting 0

also i discovered the crash had another origin, so it doesnt crash

it works

[green lark]

Mf forgot the comma

[quaint sundial]

how do u know?

[jade mauve]

is there a way of setting a limit for the amount of divisions of a specific template or unit type that can exist?

[quaint sundial]

kind of

[jade mauve]

how, share the dong, share the knowledge

[quaint sundial]

u could lock the template, but i dont remember if that holds u from being able to train more of them, or it just doesnt allow deletion and edition of the template

[jade mauve]

i think it just prevents the edit and deployment

let me test it

did i do the creation of the template and unit correct?

its through a decision

[quaint sundial]

i think ye

looks gut

[jade mauve]

found out it was using the create_unit instead of just units

ok, i managed to create the template

[quaint sundial]

is it locked?

[jade mauve]

yeah, it appears it also prevents from converting other units to that template

so great

where did you change the soft and hard attack of a unit type?

or well

sub units

[quaint sundial]

like infantry?

[jade mauve]

yeah, the ones you put in a template

i created my own sub unit

but i dont see soft and hard attack

[quaint sundial]

common/units, those txt files, open the infantry.txt and look at it

if u want hard attack, u can look at the AT file

[jade mauve]

ah, i see it now

thanks

how odd

create_unit is not working

[cold totem]

Hm?

[jade mauve]

it says Create unit

nothing else

[quaint sundial]

hey master of scripted gui, why isnt my gui showing at the begining of game if i have visible always = yes?

[cold totem]

Do u have your .gui file?

[quaint sundial]

sure

[cold totem]

And is it attached to anything?

[quaint sundial]

uh?

no

[cold totem]

U don't have a parent window, right?

[quaint sundial]

yes

its just a gui i wanna see, but it isnt anywere

[cold totem]

Let me check something real quick.

[quaint sundial]

if this is useful, everything else is empty cuz i just started doing it

[cold totem]

It should be.

Git hub is kinda awckward.

But here is how the code for the chart thimgy looks.

[quaint sundial]

needs to have a parent window to be seen?

[cold totem]

Nope.
As u see mine doesn't has one.

Let me get the .gui file.

[quaint sundial]

oh lol mistaken window_name for parent window name

i have 2 gui containers cuz i need 2 for my mod, should i create a 2nd guiTypes to have both?

[cold totem]

Also, here is the .gui code in case u have any mistakes there.

[cold totem]

Gui to use cheats should be commented out, no?

[quaint sundial]

no

i tried dat

well

maybe this is the cause?

got both windows inside one scripted_gui

[quaint sundial]

oh now i get u, it wasnt saved tho, i mistakenly clicked delete

[jade mauve]

what was the effect to research a...research?

or well, to complete it

[quaint sundial]

there is one?

[jade mauve]

i think so

[quaint sundial]

ah

[jade mauve]

like, with turkey i think it was, where they unlock camels

[quaint sundial]

set_technology

then u need the tech name

and add = 1

[jade mauve]

found it

[quaint sundial]

or = 0 to remove i supose

[jade mauve]

yeah

thanks

[quaint sundial]

wait, I em a fuken donke, the mod is disabled lol

[cold totem]

Lol.

[jade mauve]

it says that my equipment will be added, it does research it, but there is no production and no stockpile of it

[quaint sundial]

wat in the flyin fug is berylium bronze

[jade mauve]

an alloy

[quaint sundial]

breh

is it a resource or a production thing?

[cold totem]

You need to enable it first.

[jade mauve]

equipment

[jade mauve]

it does

[cold totem]

You're giving it.

Not enabling it.

[quaint sundial]

the tech is researched?

[jade mauve]

ye

[cold totem]

This.

[quaint sundial]

ar eu in pc?

[jade mauve]

yes

[cold totem]

Nope.

[jade mauve]

double yes

[quaint sundial]

breh

cuz those pics are very hard to understand

smol resolution hehe

horizontal resolution

[jade mauve]

also, division comes out with no org, is that normal?

[quaint sundial]

no

[jade mauve]

bruh

[quaint sundial]

dats equipment and experience

i think theres one for org lemme see

nope

[jade mauve]

there isnt one

the problem is the strength of the unit

[quaint sundial]

strenght doesnt directly affect org, ure just spawning them, they can have full org, they will be fine

[jade mauve]

because the beryllium does not exist (for some reason) the division dies inmediately

[quaint sundial]

ah but equipment does

[jade mauve]

equipment?

[quaint sundial]

ur berilium is equipment

if u dont have it

rip

[jade mauve]

thats the issue

it's researched

it should be unlocked

but its just not there

[quaint sundial]

but it isnt huh

[jade mauve]

WAIT

[quaint sundial]

IM WAITING

[jade mauve]

the fuck?

now it works?

wot?

[quaint sundial]

megik

[jade mauve]

but its not here

what in the ever living fuck is going on?

[quaint sundial]

ur mecha evaporated

bruh

[cold totem]

What ledgee did i spesify?

In thw equipment file.

[jade mauve]

ledgee?

[cold totem]

Ledger*

Can anyone help me? How do I make a working submod for HOI4?

[cold totem]

A normal mod that spesifies it is a sub mod in the .mod folder.

[idle token]

I've tried adding dependencies, are there more steps than that?

[jade mauve]

no one knows?

[frigid summit]

hey uhhh... I was playing the great war mod (original) on ironman and I helped the ottomans in a war via volunteers, italy failed the invasion of libya so they joined the bulkan legion. i volunteered 11 divisions to ottomans and clapped the bulkans. i am very confused on why italy got annexed...

Hi guys, do you know or have a guide for resources modding? To add new resources basically.

[cold totem]

There is a resource file.

That has the name (id) of all resources.

And then there is the is the gfx which you have to increase the frame's of to add more resources.

And also remember to edit the trade gui.

@opal estuary join my game

[jade mauve]

whats going on in here?

[jade mauve]

question, if i created a new unit type (like the ones of light, medium and heavy armor) for division templates, is there a way of preventing that unit type from being added on any template but one?

[jade mauve]

nvm, i found out how to

[light prairie]

Is there a mod that lets you rename your nation/rename nations with keyboard

[pale sparrow]

Not possible afaik

[pale sparrow]

Might have to be infantry_weapons0 if I had to guess

[pale sparrow]

It seems all techs at the start of a branch tend to be seperately defined in the interface files

[jade mauve]

i found out what it was

it was a new file, so what was happening is that because the file had a different name but the same equipment, it was creating a duplicate, and because it had the same position, it looked like it wasnt being researched

but it has been fixed, thanks

[light prairie]

why?

[steady dove]

Custom input I'd assume, like the typing of the name

you cant really type in an event which is how i'd assume you'd change your name

a really experienced modder could probably make some way to do it though

[light prairie]

I mean theres mods that have typable Faction name change and ruling party name change so why isnt there one for country names

[steady dove]

Idk about the ruling party one but the faction input is already a custom one so the ability to change it wouldn't be that hard to add. If I had to guess, it's because no skilled modder has cared enough tbh
