Things like division limits, renaming, better UI

#

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?

burnt vigil
obtuse condor
#

does anyone know if it is possible to allow sending volunteers within factions?

#

this is for a multiplayer mod

burnt vigil
#

You should be able to if you aren't fighting in the war yourself

#

iirc atleast

cosmic stag
#

Or one of your allies

obtuse condor
#

Thx bro it was that

burnt vigil

Goofy ahh sonic ๐Ÿ’€

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

burnt vigil
#

It's not hard to do that tbh, you just make them own and core their own states

warm pendant
#

would releasing them do that automatically?

burnt vigil
#

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

warm pendant
#

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

burnt vigil
#

Use this

#

It's how I learnt

warm pendant
#

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

burnt vigil
#

Lmao

warm pendant
#

so most the countries already have their own tags and exist in base game

#

whats the solution

indigo lance
#

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.

slender brook

#

Or I mean has_completed_focus

indigo lance
#

Thanks all the same

slender brook
#

I don't think has_focus is a real thing, has_completed_focus is the actual one

obtuse condor
#

does anyone know where the files for the send volunteer diplomatic action are?

How do I use this model unit to Portugal?

uncut saffron
#

so, what is wrong here?

#

full image

#

@pale sparrow got any idea?

pale sparrow
#

visible part looks fine except for your first focus referring to another for its position and requirement

pale sparrow
#

The top focus is pretty much the only one youd usually not script with relative_position, and it also wouldnt have a required focus

pale sparrow
#

if it cant find the requirement existing, the focus will hide itself

pale sparrow
#

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

uncut saffron
#

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

obtuse condor
#

I canโ€™t mod, sorry

pale sparrow
edgy flame
#

try changing from idea to ideas

uncut saffron
obtuse condor
#

Understandable but ye I canโ€™t do modding stuff, I would like to learn it some day (when I get good pc)

pale sparrow
#

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

uncut saffron
#

any idea what is causing that?

#

(I am using debug mode)

rugged scaffold
uncut saffron
rugged scaffold
#

Just why

rugged scaffold
#

No, upload to the workshop, it is better than TNO

uncut saffron
#

what happened to UI
why the loading bar isn't showing up

lofty plaza

#

Wtf have u done to make a mod that adds one focus to a country make the ui disappear ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

uncut saffron

#

Again, don't know what you did

uncut saffron
#

@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

lofty plaza
#

Well, there you go

Alright

#

Not even God has the Brit's patience

uncut saffron
#

also @lofty plaza, one more question
how to make HOI4 windowed, instead of fullscreen?

lofty plaza
#

Settings

uncut saffron
#

because Windowed didn't apparently work for me

burnt vigil
#

Do it from the Paradox Launcher

lofty plaza
#

You answered your own question

uncut saffron
#

and now HOI4 doesn't work at all

burnt vigil
#

That be how the game works

rugged scaffold

It took me 2 days to get colors to work, bc of a missing }, dw you'll figure something out

uncut saffron

#

Modding takes time

uncut saffron
burnt vigil
#

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

burnt vigil
#

I'm serious

#

I make germany pink bc I had my custom countries load before the vanilla countries

rugged scaffold

rugged scaffold

The color of THAT SPECIFIC countty

burnt vigil
#

oh, no you're thinking of something else

#

thats not really useful

rugged scaffold
#

Huh?

burnt vigil
#

iirc, thats the icon color for units on the map

#

you've got the map color, then the icon color

rugged scaffold
#

Now it makes sense

burnt vigil

ye

#

you should have a colors.txt in your countries file to change map colors

rugged scaffold

Oh hell it is 11:00 ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

slender brook
#

For example

#

the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
the United Kingdom
Armenia

pale sparrow
#

the Femboy Union
instead of
Femboy Union

slender brook
#

It's essentially what it's referred to in events

#

Or in some tooltips

burnt vigil
#

ah, makes sense

pale sparrow
#

And if its at the start of the sentence theres a scripted loc that automatically makes the first letter capital

burnt vigil
#

makes sense ye

#

since it's american states, gonna make them all grand compared to their regular name

is there any other mods that expand research and events besides rt56?

and that also works

Not sure, I don't know many mods that just add more events

Is there a mod that covers the chinese civil war prior to 1936?

burnt vigil
#

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

slender brook
# burnt vigil Which one?

... they mean the earlier parts of the Chinese Civil War, like the 9 years from 1927 to 1936 that the game doesn't have

burnt vigil
#

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

south folio
#

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

uncut saffron
#

@pale sparrow what is wrong here? The error log shows nothing

#

and the second focus still wont show up

south folio
#

the # on available

#

the bracket under it isn't so it closes focus

#

also there's on on modifier @uncut saffron

uncut saffron

No the # Infront of it

that makes it so it doesn't read that line but still reads the others

No problem

To sum it up at least

also bad identation

๐Ÿค“~~ this wouldnt have happened if you had visual studio code because it changes color of commented lines~~

uncut saffron

or idea ๐Ÿค“

south folio
#

i think it's just add_stabillity

burnt vigil
#

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

cold plume
#

wait you can use visual studio code for hoi4 modding?

burnt vigil
#

Idk, I usually use notepad++

It'll fix the positioning

Alr

I don't know what happened

bruh

it doesn't accept the mods existance

It is just a random glitch of the launcher or it is becaude u messed with the descriptor file

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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

#

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

For the flags make sure you havent compressed the tga, they are the right size, and you have all three sizes.

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.

#

And yeh, its a good idea to read existing mods

#

Equipment is pretty complex

#

Youd have tech, the equipment itself, the modules, the designer

subtle totem
#

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

Hey everyone Iโ€™ve been playing hoi4 millennium dawn and I noticed that the UI doesnโ€™t want to work for using planes I canโ€™t use them like at all. Am I missing something? How do I fix this?

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...

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

slender brook
#

Considering I just learnt from another server that it was 1.11, which also broke set_capital

burnt zenith
#

set capital should work again

#

but the state highlighting has never been fixed

slender brook
#

Oh can set capital be done with the old and the new way now?

burnt zenith
#

not sure

slender brook
#

Yeah I really wish HOI4 had the equivalent of the Stellaris modding server feature suggestion page, where modders can ask for modding features

#

Although Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™d be flooded immediately

burnt zenith
#

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

slender brook
#

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

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

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?

May I ask a question about modding problem?

sharp laurel
#

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.
