timed myself making 1 country, and without stopping for anything it takes 5-10 minutes depending on my creativity
Is it possible to make wargoal justification appear when you're doing a national focus?
Like with German "War with France" and all that?
does anyone know if it is possible to allow sending volunteers within factions?
this is for a multiplayer mod
That icon when someone is justifying on you
Or one of your allies
Thx bro it was that
Np
Estado novo is democratic
Sonic is the leader
Wtf is this mess
That's Shadow you uncultured swine
Goofy ahh sonic ๐
Beuh really insulted my mans Shadow like that
I don't suppose its possible to make a saved game with all nations released as a mod? That way the nations can be selected before starting the game?
Why do I want this? To stick the randomizer mod ontop of it to make even the releasables randomized in the world
It's not hard to do that tbh, you just make them own and core their own states
would releasing them do that automatically?
Nah, you make them their own country via mods
Like how I'm releasing each state of the USA and making them a country in my mod
i have no experience modding, is there a good way to start this
my entire goal is just to have more nations in the randomized world mod
ok ty, i probably dont need to hammer out their land, just a single tile will work for what i want to do
the randomized mod will randomly place them all over
Lmao
so most the countries already have their own tags and exist in base game
whats the solution
Can anyone help out. I want a focus only to be only available if another focus is completed but I dont want the latter to be a prequisite.
Add a condition of has_focus = {}
Decent thanks!
Or I mean has_completed_focus
Thanks all the same
I don't think has_focus is a real thing, has_completed_focus is the actual one
does anyone know where the files for the send volunteer diplomatic action are?
MAN
How do I use this model unit to Portugal?
visible part looks fine except for your first focus referring to another for its position and requirement
we remove the prerequisite?
The top focus is pretty much the only one youd usually not script with relative_position, and it also wouldnt have a required focus
it worked
thank you
if it cant find the requirement existing, the focus will hide itself
okay
it means that if you hide that focus at the top of a branch, you conveniently hide the entire one
with exception for any DLC-locked focuses within the branch which have hiding code as well
hey @pale sparrow, I tested my focus tree, left to menu, and when I tried to start the game again, while it was updating history it randomly crashed. what causes this?
and when i restarted the game, it works just fine
@obtuse condor
I also can't create a faction with that name, because the game think "faction" is a syntax
while it's
a name
I canโt mod, sorry
Probably needs quotation marks
try changing from idea to ideas
oh okay
I just pinged because you had the "Tech Helper". Sorry about that
Understandable but ye I canโt do modding stuff, I would like to learn it some day (when I get good pc)
the wiki example doesnt have quotation marks, but there its a token (so no spaces), if youre entering plain text you almost certainly need quotes
...and the game crashed again
any idea what is causing that?
(I am using debug mode)
This is the moment brasil got political
so true
@lofty plaza
Really, why Brasil gets a wargoal against Japan in a focus called "getting political"
Just why
tutorial
I will remove it
No, upload to the workshop, it is better than TNO
what happened to UI
why the loading bar isn't showing up
I would have no clue without your error log
Wtf have u done to make a mod that adds one focus to a country make the ui disappear ๐๐๐๐
also this is my screen
UI is messed up for some reason
what
Again, don't know what you did
wait a momen I probably messed with the resolution
@lofty plaza here we go
I will show you the error log in a second
@lofty plaza the focus isn't completed
and here's the error log so far
what
it's working for some reason now
I'm not
I just wanted to load history
1936
and this happened
but whatever
doesn't happen now
Alright
Not even God has the Brit's patience
also @lofty plaza, one more question
how to make HOI4 windowed, instead of fullscreen?
Settings
which mode? Fullscreen or Windowed?
because Windowed didn't apparently work for me
Do it from the Paradox Launcher
You answered your own question
oh, okay
thank you very much
and now HOI4 doesn't work at all
That be how the game works
Oh god, sorry the brit to have to handle this shit for free
It took me 2 days to get colors to work, bc of a missing }, dw you'll figure something out
๐ญ
don't judge me please
true
So don't worry about messing something up
Just wait until you make a custom country and goof up the whole game from one error
I'm serious
I make germany pink bc I had my custom countries load before the vanilla countries
I want to make a mod that makes all the country have random colors (for psychos)
But idk how to provoke it in porpuse
easy
mess up the colors file
Ohio
There isnt a single color file, there are a lot
this is what i've been doing for fun the past week
Mississipi
colors.txt
ding ding ding
Thats from the old versions
the og image is maybe 50 times the size
Now hoi4 doesnt work like that
In my files it appears with every country file independent (ex: GER, FRA, SPR a file itself
*a txt itself
...I still can't set windowed
you're looking in common\countries\colors.txt right?
why would you wanna window it?
to access it easier
paradox fix ur game
reasonable
In common/countries there are txt's of a lot of countries, inside the txt it is just the color file
The color of THAT SPECIFIC countty
Huh?
iirc, thats the icon color for units on the map
you've got the map color, then the icon color
Now it makes sense
@burnt vigil how to add civilian factories for example
to a state
oh
found t
it
i need to change infastructure amounts for states
bc having 5 infa for florida not really good
lmao mediveal ages mod in hoi4 when?
@uncut saffron ima go bake, if you need anything I won't be available but the twch support team will be
thanks
have a good baking
Need to let the dough sit in the freezer for half an hour, I got time to ruin more of hoi4
i forgor, what was the TAG_ideology_DEF for again?
The full name of the country, sometimes including the
For example
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
the United Kingdom
Armenia
the Femboy Union
instead of
Femboy Union
ah, makes sense
And if its at the start of the sentence theres a scripted loc that automatically makes the first letter capital
makes sense ye
since it's american states, gonna make them all grand compared to their regular name
???
i just tried making a mod, idk if i'm just dumb or anything but whenever I see a video on someone modding, it has more then this in the mod file
or is this all thats meant to be here
That's all that is there when you first create it, you have to create the rest of the files
ok thx
is there any other mods that expand research and events besides rt56?
and that also works
I use Ultimate Tech Tree
what about events?
Not sure, I don't know many mods that just add more events
well name at least 2
Ok pretend I said any instead of many I.E I don't know any
i painfully spent 1 hour making this abombination
Ggs
is there like any way at all to make a mod that makes recording timelapses faster instead of just recording a regular campaign.
Bavarian monarchism
No, just wait
Is there a mod that covers the chinese civil war prior to 1936?
Which one?
The one during 209 BCE (Dazexiang uprising), the Chu-Ham contention of 206-202 BCE, the Xin dynasty Civil was of 17-36 CE
The civil war that ended the Han Dynasty
The 3 kingdoms
There have been tons
... they mean the earlier parts of the Chinese Civil War, like the 9 years from 1927 to 1936 that the game doesn't have
i think i messed something up
ima relog and check, but if the issue persists i might need majorhelp
how do you get debug to let you see changed happen live in your focus trees? I've seen a few videos where people do it but idk how
I've somehow manage to enlarge the technology sprites of MTG Naval Support and that only i do not know how to fix pls help
I fixed it no worries
@pale sparrow what is wrong here? The error log shows nothing
and the second focus still wont show up
the # on available
the bracket under it isn't so it closes focus
also there's on on modifier @uncut saffron
still won't show up
also, what do you mean? Focuses support Modifiers I think
No the # Infront of it
that makes it so it doesn't read that line but still reads the others
ohh thanks it works now
No problem
comment before start of available
also bad identation
๐ค~~ this wouldnt have happened if you had visual studio code because it changes color of commented lines~~
is there an effect that can give stability without a national spirit?
or idea ๐ค
i think it's just add_stabillity
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect this is your best friend in these situations
oh, i found it
thank you
Now to make it so when I do a national focus, it's gonna make Australia leave the Allies, and allow them to explore other things as a free country
wait you can use visual studio code for hoi4 modding?
Idk, I usually use notepad++
I use notepad
What language does VSC use?
Any language
Then it'll work
HM
how to make "one of the following" prerequisite?
Wdym?
for focus trees
for example: I want to make a focus that needs one of focuses completed
Oh, that's a prerequisite
I want to make this dotted line
prerequisite = {name_here}
Idk 100%, but multiple might do it
@pale sparrow
any idea?
the wiki doesn't say it
two focuses in one requirement entry
okay thank you
No new state was added, just changed some province owners and units location
(dont blame for not screenshoting, im not going to log in and then verify the gmail just to ask something that i may dont be answered)
Any idea @lofty plaza ??
You need to go in nudger/buildings/randomise in state
It'll fix the positioning
Alr
You need to make a new mod and move the files of your mod there
It is just a random glitch of the launcher or it is becaude u messed with the descriptor file
No, but dont move that file to other place or mess up with It's content as long you know what u are doing
All I did was โthumbnail=โthumbnail.pngโโ and itโs worked for me before
or is that not correct coding
picture=thumbnail.png
Again, I said it can be a random glitch of the launcher
does anyone have reccomendations of a preset of mods to have fun with a friend or two :)
or any sort of mod over all
and would be appreiecated if we can transfer states
based fixed aussa borders
I just cant handle these goofy borders
Yeah im making a mod that makes the border accurate and adds all the missing countries (except the Vatican)
I just started right now and the only thing that changed was the territory of the Sultanate of Aussa
#hoi4-general is to busy for anything ong
wdym with making it modern?
Like, having modern world
There are a lot of mods that make modern borders
Yea, and you're pretty much making the same
๐ค
gotta love modding hoi4
Doing a fascist leader for Sultanate of Aussa but not working
Errors dont mention it
@rough robin any idea of what could be wrong?

I dont recommend going around pinging the dev team since you may not get an answer
But yeah it looks like you are fascist already
Also btw try using screenshota instead when showing off code. It will be easier for people to read it properly when someone can help
guys are there any guides to make hoi4 mods
Yes. Iron Workshop on YouTube
is it possible to earn money from mods
You are allowed to have Patreons but not allowed to have paywalls. Commissioned mods are fine I believe.
but people don't really become your patreon unless your mod is really big like the modern day mod for example right
Yeah pretty much
Modding is never gonna replace a job
Or even a mediocre side hustle
damn
Anyone play md mod?
If so im trying to figure out how to get the national spirt to creat a faction as germany
quick check is this a real line of code you can use?
wait
recruitable_population = 0.7
does that work
if I want two checks for a decision to be required but am still using the OR line how would I do that ex:pp > 50 and st < 40?
You would add an AND into the OR
I.E
OR = {
AND = {
pp > 50
st < 40
}
#rest of the stuff
}
thanks someone in another server already helped me but this is good to corroborate
Hello,
I've found that after adding about 2 tags or so for countries tag in my submod and get into game, then crash happened bring me to desktop right before the game finishes loading (main menu).
I've tried making more country tag TXT files but no solve. Is there some tag limit for country tags modding?
I've heard that there's a mod have over 1.000 countries in that mod, and don't crash like this. My submod has around 403 tags in it.
so, for the specific, i have 401 country tags, then i add 1 and 2 countries and it become 403 country tags. I launch the game and finished loading, then crashed when reached Main Menu.
Then, i try to remove 1-2 latest added countries tags, so i have 401 tags now, when i launch, it work properly (no crash)
Please help, thanks ๐
here the file when i crashed
and here when i removed 1-2 countries tag (no crash)
i've tried to split it, but still no solved ๐ฆ
at 5k errors but my mod is still running
not really about confused just wondering for rt56, is their a way to become Qing China in Road to 56? and what focuses to take
I was creating a mod that added the summer and winter offensive and the game says that I have localisation collisions in BHU_communism_adj I looked and nothing seems to be wrong, any thoughts?
Does some one explain me how the division work on black isle mod there is regular infantry and some other
Please, dont say "i did a thing and not working" give some damn details, dont expect people to predict what is wrong when they only know that something doesnt work
In the first place,
what is the winter/summer offensive? A focus? A decision? An event? What is exactly the problem with that, like, it is not working like it should?
He said the issue dude
BHU_communism_ADJ is flipping out on him
And he doesn't have a damned clue why
He gave most of the information you would need
If everything works as intended, ignore the issue
Any way to add building slots to state not via state category, maybe any modifier to state?
There are 2 way 1.focus 2.idea
how to fix this
It means the mod isn't translated into your language
if i change to english that would fix it?
Yes
thx u
do u know if the great war redux mod got a discord
It's probably on their Steam Workshop page
If it doesn't there it doesn't exist
thx u
So you know how you can do this focus and become China?
But i have a mod that adds flags to Yunnan but when i do this focus the flags don't work for Yunnan/other warlords so what flags files do i need to edit to make it happen and where is it located?

What are the best mods for game improvements?
Things like state interactions, or yearly summaries
It's minor, yea, but tells you the end of a year without flaw, and let's you do stuff like remiliterize or move capital
Old World's Blues, Millienum Dawm, Novum Vexlium and Kaiserreich
should i play france in kaiserreich as my first playthrough
wow france looks like it has a surprisingly decent starting mobile army and army
template is even neat for 1936, just needs tiny improvements
ok yes im playing france
I was limited by the division limiter as France, while Germany just gets a larger cap
That made me just not play that mod again
USA focus tree for all ideologies mod exist?
Hm.... is there a way to customize a state and change things about it?
Er, elaborate? You can change a ton of stuff about states
Like, I want to increase the infrastructure limit on states for my mod, is it possible?
I think so. Check the buildings folder
hello
i wanna make new units but idk where to start
.
From there
I'd watch it once them watch it again while doing it to go over any points of struggle
alr
becus i followed it and made the files and folders
i only made 1 new unit
called FAMT
is this good? @burnt vigil
idk, i've never done this
alr
ok
Your servers concern me@daring shale
which ones
The SS one for starters
I was gonna say wehrmacht but thats the one with the swas
That one above DMC is the east german
alr
Can you just confirm to me, even in dms, that you are not a nazi, just for clarification
Ye, east germans are commies
yes ik
but the WAFFEN SS server is just for show
again im NOT gonna invite anyone there anyway
Lmao it's alr
Meh, dictatorships are different to totalitarian nationd
alr
Totalitarian is everyone believes and spreads the morals, lies and everything the leader wants, like North Korea to an extent
Dictatorships are failing that
alr
i have made some German realm servers
but again
its not N word servers
we are very peaceful
we are very nice
XD
what
Nun
alr
am i allowed to advertise my mods in here?
yuh
Medieval mod where
Does it matter if a country tag is more than 3 characters
pretty sure
Yes
It wonโt work
Yes, it has to be
could someone tell me the best version to play with mods "im new"
The latest
Where u get da time lapse thing, is it a mod?
is there a mod where you could do a axis victory
You can do that in vanilla??? Or do you mean a mod after that
Yes
Can anyone help me in tech support
Just search timelapse
Dont think it matters for the one I tried
j
what kinda code does HOI4 utilize
i have a serious interest in creating a mod, but i need to learn the code first.
pseudo-code
that does not sound good
i uh
i don't think that can be optimized
i wanna cry looking at that
i barely have any coding experience and i'm feeling despondent looking at this shit
but hey as long as it works
this is as easy as it gets
well except for GUI based
does this work if i put a comma there
hello im trying to use the mapgen to create my own world, everything is pretty much done but i still cant make it work, game keep crashing
i tryed youtube videos and follow them but still cant figur out whats wrong
I'm trying to convert the american unit model to the Portuguese unit, someone does know how to do it?
@pale sparrow
ok
youre set then
Did you use the add button or the download button
anyone know what this error means?
i have no idea how to mod, but i assume its with a occupation error, and mabye a occupation law is bugged? these are just my theories idk what they mean
and the garrison strength may be in a zone of another country and the "occupation" is in other countries territory
i dont think thats the problem
do you have a focus/option that lets you annex land?
no i edited a states history file to have now owner but then it assumed of occupation but idk how to fix
now owner makes the country OWN the province, i think the game thinks the other country may still own this, and its bugged because the other garrison was trying to override the other one and its not occupation. and the getoccupation law means that the game thought the other country was there because it said with no occupatin data
as in no one owns it now so i think the game has a standard occupationvalue or something for no owner but idk
States without an owner aren't intended and will cause errors always
yeah as @slender brook said, states witout an owner cant exist and will cause errors
Well they can exist just weirdly
Yeah I mostly see it in mods as a 'null' territory for future content
i figured out how to do it without errors
you have to just delete all the states history to make it basically just terrain
oh
is there anyone who can teach me how to mod?
Read pre-existent mods and the wiki, all you need
link for that?
ok
Hello my friends
So, I'm having a compatibility issue with 3 mods in the GUI, specifically the construction tab
the 3 mods mess with this area
This is the construction tab with the first mod (Road to 56)
This when I add the second mod (72 slots improved)+ Road to 56
This mod of 72 slots change some categories of buildings
and there is the third mod, Expanded Resources, that adds some new buildings
Here
The 3 mods together definitely didn't work
I'm trying to find out how to do a compatibility patch between this 3
but my knowledge of modding is too low at the moment
I really hope someone here knows this issue and how to fix it, this graphical issue only happens on one startdate, there are no errors in the log
anyone knows any mods that replaces hitler's portrait with something funny
I dont know if this work but you could use rt56 file as base and transfer other file and overwrite them
there was a submod for owb where you can play zetans ?
I know you can enable the zetan invasion in the gamerules, maybe you could just tag over to them then
what does 72 slots do?
Oh category of buildings
yees tghabjks fkutbd ut
shit i trun myslef in zetan
is there a mod there ww2 can be more fun
that's probably never gonna be compatible, but Expanded Resources has a compatibility patch but its outdated
Road to 56
Hello, is there some way to implement additional categories of tanks through a mod?
Sure
Thanks.
so i have an issue where the ai in my mod doesnt produce tanks, i figured out that it is due to the ai not designing tanks because if i give them tank designs they will produce them. so why do they not design tanks
Not the worst that could happen
Put this in gfx/entities
hi want to ask is there cold war iron certain discord if there please send to me
Can anyone help ?
I want to make a national focus but the first focus's icon is unknown focus icon image but when I click the focus, the what i want image visible.
you can search it on thier steam page

The tga files are probably compressed
Can anyone help ?
Hello i was making flags and only the Small one and Leader Portrait works the Flag in the top left is still black
This one Works
This too
so i have an issue where the ai in my mod doesnt produce tanks, i figured out that it is due to the ai not designing tanks because if i give them tank designs they will produce them. so why do they not design tanks
?
Can anyone help me with this, my leader and my country name is not showing up and the communism and fascism flags aren't showing up
For the flags make sure you havent compressed the tga, they are the right size, and you have all three sizes.
As for the leader issue you gotta post code so people can look for issues.
Is your leader the one commented out?
With the #?
Yes
- Please take actual screenshots
- Don't use notepad for these things
And why are you commenting out random things
Where are advisors located now?
common/characters
Tf is this goofy mod
Yes i know but i ran out of ideas
My god, the lack of documentation on some aspects to modding makes me so frustrated I might actually try to create it myself through stitching together obscure and esoteric knowledge and code from various mods and game files.
What aspects
Equipment designer being my primary point of concern
And yeh, its a good idea to read existing mods
Equipment is pretty complex
Youd have tech, the equipment itself, the modules, the designer
Yeah, I'll admit I am very spoiled with mod documentation because I am an ex-Arma 3 addict.
But who knows, maybe my frustrations with HOI4 mod docs will drive me to create some documentation for HOI4.
Most things dont need documentation, and stuff like equipment isn't easy to describe
is tehre an endsieg mod thats updated for 1.12?
Ig not, Endsieg is 1.10, Primo Victoria is 1.11
Hey everyone Iโve been playing hoi4 millennium dawn and I noticed that the UI doesnโt want to work for using planes I canโt use them like at all. Am I missing something? How do I fix this?
I tried looking online I couldnโt find any solution
Yo anyone interested in breaking bad
I wouldn't call that Paradox style
Ragh when will Paradox add the ability to highlight more than one state at one time
Well you can do so, only using categories though so seems I'll be overhauling Formable Nations twice now...
Welp. That's tomorrow me's problem.
Yes fellow Euphonium
fun fact is, it was possible, they changed it in a update
And that update is now the bane of my existence
same, i had alot of decisions that basically require multiple states
but no longer work
Considering I just learnt from another server that it was 1.11, which also broke set_capital
Oh can set capital be done with the old and the new way now?
not sure
Yeah I really wish HOI4 had the equivalent of the Stellaris modding server feature suggestion page, where modders can ask for modding features
Although Iโm sure theyโd be flooded immediately
Yeah its a shame that out of basically all PDX games, hoi4 is the one with barely any to no community-developer interaction when it comes to modding features
Or even community developer interaction at all, I have never seen a HOI4 dev pop into convo randomly, whereas Stellaris even the Lead Developer sometimes shows up out of the blue
yeah its sad
even reporting modding bugs on the forums dont seem to be watched, atleast never have seen it
Hi guys
Hello
Would you have any good mod suggestions for a better tech tree?
I use Ultimate Tech Tree: New Horizon
I have been using that. Do you know any others
No
I guess Iโll just stick to the ultimate tech tree probably the best one out there
I got a mod idea to anyone who does modding
A modern day mod where kazakhstan never leaves the USSR
Kazakhstan will try to re-claim old soviet land and influnce uther stan nations
And i guess there could be diffrent focuses for them like going the leninist way, stalinist way or a alternative.
There could be a focus for allying china or attacking chinese influnce
And maybe even support putin in a coup to take back the Russian SSR
Why I can't set the visibility to public ?
What do you mean?
When i want to change my workshop item's visibility i get this error.
I find this, maybe i need to pay 5 dolar to set visibility to public.
ok. sorry.
It's really good , how did you do it so well.
Welp it always nice to have your own style
OOooh that makes sense
I didnt think someone who owned the game would have an inactive account like that
There is people that actually use the old goofy ahh metod to make characters ๐๐๐
Alright, only took like 3 hours for me to finish overhauling the code for Formable Nations again
Well done
Not to mention use notepad to do it
Playing blackICE for the first time.
And?
Is there a mod to delete the sahara ?
Can you clarify what exactly you mean?
Are you talking about making the Sahara traversable?
Can you show on example?
Thatโs a map mod that gets rid of countries owning land you canโt move in

damn
Looks pretty
I love the clarity
dose anyone have a bulgarian history file where the ideology is communist? i cant seem to find the correct one to make bulgaria communist
Is their any r56 compatible mods that add content to North Amercia?
add cores for Moravian states
Is there a way to restrict how many of a certain type of battalion can be in a division template?
I.e. I want to limit it to a point where you can only put 5 reconnaissance battalions in any one division template.
You would need to make a country called Moravia first, and then add their core to Moravia state
Anyone here play MD?
what is the code for making a decision activate a country event?
is there a HOI4 modding discord?
Yes
how to get there
I just send an invite link
thanks
I have a noob question.
I want a country leader to be the same for two or more ideologies. How can I do this?
And how can I do this without this leader being duplicate in the case of a civil war?
Example: the chinese warlords, as far as I know, can switch ideologies without changing leader. At least the Sinkiang guy.
just give the character multiple country leader roles
On scripted_effects write like this
warlord_rule_all_parties = {
if = {
limit = {
tag = TAG
}
add_country_leader_role = {
character = Character_tag
country_leader = {
expire = "1965.1.1"
ideology = anti_revisionism
traits = {
#
}
}
promote_leader = yes
}
add_country_leader_role = {
character = Character_tag
country_leader = {
expire = "1965.1.1"
ideology = socialism
traits = {
#
}
}
promote_leader = yes
}
add_country_leader_role = {
character = Character_tag
country_leader = {
expire = "1965.1.1"
ideology = rexism
traits = {
#
}
}
promote_leader = yes
}
}
}

thanks a lot. what are scripted effects for?

Please, for the love of god, never use that website
For programs: A proper text editor (VSC, Sublime, N++), base game files, a photo editor (preferably PS or Gimp since PDN has issues with map related things if/when you do those)
For help: The wiki, the pinned tutorial series, and the Reddit

how do you make a decision that targets neighbouring states?
May I ask a question about modding problem?
I made a map mode that narrows the English Channel by changing provinces.
However, if Air Wings made at an airport on Great Britain are deployed to the English Channel, they are not damaged in air combat.
Like stealth aircraft, not a single British fighter is shot down, only enemy fighters are shot down.
It is not a problem of aircraft design or environment because I turned off AI and controlled everything. The problem occur only because I modified the map.
I used 'Buildings' in Nudge tool to adjust buildings to new map, verified Integrity of game files on steam, checked error code then fixed it, but I can't solve this problem.

Is there a map modding expert?
There is a phenomenon that is difficult to understand about modding.
Hello I am new to modding and would like help.My problem is that I did something to my mod and a week of work is gone.The code is still there but it doesn't show up
What does your mod do and what do you remember doing last
it changes the Bulgarian focus tree and the last thing I added was prerequisite
Are the files corrupted? What application are you using for the code?
I am using notepad++ and I have the file currently opened
Possibly a bracket error. Do you mind sending me the files
ok np
You canโt add prequisites, the focus tree wonโt show up with them.
aren't they so u can't just do them without doing the one before it?
What are you talking about? Prerequisites are integral to focus trees
Prequisites will hide the tree without the proper code
It could explain why his work is โgoneโ
No they don't
Iโm not saying they arenโt important, it just glitches sometimes
Are we maybe talking about two different thinghs
Iโve modded plenty of times
As have I.
Prequisites, unless implemented properly, will hide the focuses they connect to
I am talking about focuses requiring other focuses to be chosen
Which I am too
And prerequisites by themselves do not hide other focuses.
Well there was a space somewhere it shouldn't have been which was the problem so I have no clue what you are talking about
yep that was the whole problem
How would that solve it?
Could we borrow this mod file etc for my mod?
I was wondering if someone could help me develop my mod, there's a lot of things I don't know how to do and I need a lot of help
Anyone know of a good economics mod or division limited? I am looking to avoid the snowball of late 44, and every nation having 200 divions
yo guys i am using axis overhual little and epic graphics mod after it whne the year 1942 the game crashes
Someone please..
Well first, say what you want to achieve
What is the goal of the mod
How
You have none to do
Are you making this mod?
Wait nvm, it looks like the weird Md ripoff
Got a discord server for your mod?
No, I don't...
It's a basic mod, it's an alt history mod with a new country that occupies the north and part of Western france
So I guess the goals are creating a orginal country with it's own unique focus tree and unique techs that starts in 1925-29 and ends in 1945
I just made one tho
It's nothing special
I can help with that like I do other mods
Let me send you the invite
Shouldn't be too hard. Iron Workshop has a tutorial for it
This lesson will explain how to create a new country in Hearts of Iron 4.
If you found this video helpful and want to help the channel grow you can use the super thanks button above, any amount helps the Iron Workshop improve and continue to make more videos like this one.
Timestamps for this tutorial/lesson:
00:00 - Lesson beginning
02:00 - ...
Those are from 2018 and I'm not so sure they work entirely now...
It's from 2021
And I don't believe creating a new country has changed since then
Ok it's actually 2020 but still I don't think anything changed that much
Ok
And if it doesn't work well, send a message here with what doesn't work
Alright
I wish paradox would not crrash my game everytime I triedd to launch my modded map

someone make mod with byzantines as a country in thrace
We need a good 1v1 mod, one where it's just 2 countries on a nice front with equal factories, manpower, and resources. With one neutral country to trade with
like this, that mod was almost perfect, could've used more interesting focus trees. But it was fun
do you know any mod that is adding more states/regions?
Iron workshop is always reliable
Just type in states
There is like 1000โs
Its still work since pdx didnt touch country creating part
Those kind of mods become outdated quickly
Beautiful states, Road to 56 are the only ones I know
can anyone help me with my kaiserreich download
also if I have .mod file in the folder alreadyu
and I have another in the mod download I'm extracting to that folder
which one do i use
Where are you downloading from?
topmods

Then your file are corrupted
Nvm it can let you enter the game and fix it but not play it
but it's the official kaiserreich files
specifically
it's this error
and i have the gfx folder too
That the graphic that rarely crash the game
Uninstall the mod and verify the game files
Yep itโs having issues loading any graphics at all
how do i verify game files
the loading screen is fine though
it's the same for my red flood mod
Go to protrepies on steam
Wwhat is your game version
Hold on
Click around till you find verify game files, should be the middle one
it's not from steam
i'm using a cracked version
โฆof the game?
of the mod
Yep i knew it
Verify your game files
how
I mean your hoi4 files
It doesnโt hurt to do it
Likely the mod or your game is outdated
my game is on 1.12
and the link is from Kaiserreich wiki
how do i do it
@scenic stream
the paradox plaza version mods are working fine
ok i verified and everything is fine
there is nothing wrong with my game
should i file verify the mods?
Can anybody give me hoi4 Iโve been wanting it for years now, but I live in iran and canโt get it

Can you be more specific
Are you talking about adding in more companies?
I'm playing the modern day mod, anyone know how to get Korea to lose the fragile armistice agreement?
Yes
Or edit the companies names in localisation folder but i dont know that file of name
Or edit the companies icon
The companies should be in common/ideas/???.txt
Actually hold on yeah, are you talking design companies or companies you attach to decisions
Design companies are common/ideas
Companies for divisions are common/units
you need to define the GFX file and its highlighted version in the /interface folder
@uncut saffron
I have found it, thank you
I hate it when the HOI4 devs didn't name everything after the .dds files tbh
Theoretically, how hard would it be to reupload the Support Companies Expansion 3.0 mod by SacredRebirth to be BBA compatible?
I love that mod but its 1.11 not 1.12
Well depend if it still working then yet put it in a new file and upload it

Hey so does anyone know if it's possible for a mod to communicate with an outside server?
I was thinking about trying to make a archipelago mod for hoi4 but that's the missing link for proof-reading
i guess "outside" doesnt make much sense, could also just be a server hosted on the same machine communicating with a truely outside server
Anyone know how to move the location of railways within a province? I'm familiar with the general workflow for creating new railways and linking them, but sometimes they make very silly looking lines. Don't see anything in either the railways or buildings files which guides locations of railways within provinces.
does anyone know what happened? I suppose it was goals-shine file but I'm not sure
@pale sparrow
I cant view it rn but its probably the file
it has the same proportions, is transparent etc
both are the same
and it's DDS
correct saving options though?
okay what i am suposed to choose
@pale sparrow It turned out I just need to restart the game.
it works
Usually if you have debug, resave both goals and goals_shine will fix it. That happens when you save it during the game
hey anyone know where the thing that makes danzing a international cities stored? i transfered it to germany (through the state file) but its still a international city
