[obtuse condor]

nvm fixed, international was doin somethin wacky even without it being applied

[burnt vigil]

omg onion hat man

[valid apex]

Well good news i fix it and bad news is There is none

[sour vigil]

It's a turban, not an onion. In the past, Muslim men used to cover their heads with it, if they wanted to.

[scenic star]

Sweet! Are you able to upload a fixed version to Steam or something like that?

[valid apex]

Not yet it work but often crash

[scenic star]

Oh that doesnt sound good

Have you checked the support companies tab in research

[valid apex]

I mean like when click on icon division it crash but before that it was working normal

[sour vigil]

How can I change the resources' names and icons?

like oil's name

Oh i found that file

[burnt vigil]

🤓I was making a joke

[uncut saffron]

petition: separate the "ideas" folder in gfx/interface into national spirit icons and advisor/goverment icons

[burnt vigil]

:thistbh:

[uncut saffron]

astram look dms

[solid lodge]

Anyone know the name of the modern day mod ?

I heard there was one

[warm panther]

You can do that in whatever mod you make, cause you define the gfx in the interface folder, and can make the mod pic from a folder that is not necessarily the same sort of folder as base game

[marble lodge]

Im trying to play the cold war mod and it says the version that it needs is 1.12.8, but thats not on the beta list.

[white relic]

The power of modding

[paper breach]

does anyone know the map mod this guy uses? i know the font + buttons but not the map gfx itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1jR7xYJSOo&t=558s&ab_channel=MykhailoPoltavskiy

it doesnt look as flat as fps map

or maybe i just havent used fps map in a while

nvm i found it

[lofty plaza]

It shouldn't matter

[worn gust]

Wait what coding language does hoi4 use

[slender brook]

Made-up fairytale coding language

Paradox Code as they call it I think

It's basic enough people without coding experience can get very well versed in it

[worn gust]

Wait i have to like learn new coding language just to mod hoi4

💀

aint no way

[slender brook]

It should not be hard if you have any knowledge of coding

[worn gust]

I dont i want to start learning C++ and i was hyped that i could use it in hoi4

[slender brook]

I guarantee whatever you want to do in C++ is much harder than HOI4 code

[worn gust]

Ok nice

[blazing sage]

what is the best path for russia in millenium dawn

[obtuse condor]

Quick quesion: can a advisor be Field Marshall. Probaly can?

[short vault]

I don’t suppose there is a mod which reintroduces the corp level of command found in HoI3? 🤔

[valid apex]

Yes along there either have the marshall role (the new method) or input as a field marshall in history txt (old method)

[obtuse condor]

yeah Thx that's what i wanted to know

[lofty plaza]

It does its own thing but it's overall based on C++

So if you know that, you'll have a decent idea

[subtle totem]

Could someone help me with creating new tank role categories for the tank designer? Or is that even a possibility to do?

[scenic star]

It is a possibility

Horst added another tank category

[subtle totem]

Horst?

[scenic star]

Horstorical Multiplayer

[subtle totem]

Thanks, I'll have a look at that

[uncut saffron]

which compressing option should I use for focus tree icons?

I'm using paint.net

[wind orchid]

is there a civilian casualties mod?

[scenic star]

Is there a mod that allows Generals to command Army Groups without being promoted to Field Marshal

[slate kraken]

are there any anicent world mods? like not reforming it but when the romans were just getting started or right after the collapse?

[cosmic stag]

Am I doing it fine? Replace the Portuguese units model from USA?

My Portugal Country Tag is SAI

@slender brook @lofty plaza

@pale sparrow

[valid apex]

Did you put change POR model input to SAI in .gfx

[stuck mist]

There have been multiple, but they all died because hoi4 is just not built for pre-ww1 style gameplay

[stuck mist]

You're changing the file path, but if those files don't exist you're just messing up the American models without doing anything for SAI

[cosmic stag]

Oh, how do i do it correctly?

[stuck mist]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Entity_modding

[cosmic stag]

I copied the american models gfx and rename it

[thick zenith]

I've got a run going on a TNO playset and everytime the Comintern reforms, when the peace deal starts, i crash to desktop. I dont know what to try and do to fix it

[valid apex]

No that dont work if you only rename it it will only show to model and the texture will be none exit or broken

[cosmic stag]

Neither this?

[valid apex]

Ya that the code for por

[cosmic stag]

But this is strange, it does not apply In-Game

It is the South American model

[valid apex]

Wait file are you using .gfx or .asset

[cosmic stag]

This one?

[cosmic stag]

.

[valid apex]

no like it end with .gfx or .asset

.gfx will use usa_infantry.mesh for input

[cosmic stag]

Oh, I do not have a .asset

Just this

[valid apex]

asset is the input for the model while gfx is like the input for it

use mine\

[cosmic stag]

Thank you

[valid apex]

Change all to Sai

[cosmic stag]

Change to USA the other ones or not really?

[valid apex]

All vin

[cosmic stag]

Alright done

Now I'll put in gfx/entities?

[valid apex]

Yes

[cosmic stag]

It didn't work

@valid apex

[valid apex]

Oh dear let me do it for you

[valid apex]

I some what make it playable do you want the mod

[lofty plaza]

[stiff terrace]

I created a new focus extended mod for Kodoha in Japan.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2929401653

[lofty plaza]

What does the title mean

[magic cargo]

There must be a difference between adding an unit model to a country that already has one and one that doesn't right? I only got so far to replace the skin of an already existing infantry. I have the mesh and the textures only in a model unit. I've been trying to add the same thing to Iraq but can't get it to work. Can anyone help with it?

[obtuse condor]

How do I modify a spirit from a focus

[stiff terrace]

If I could be a constellation

[lofty plaza]

replace_idea

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect

[obtuse condor]

and I make a new spirit?

[lofty plaza]

Yes

[obtuse condor]

alr

[lofty plaza]

For it to say modify idea it needs to have the same localised name

Otherwise it will say swap X idea with X

[ocean warren]

Is there any mods that make event messages better

[scenic star]

Yes please. If you dont mind

[uncut saffron]

is it normal for a person to enjoy modding hoi4 but not like playing the game overall?

[burnt vigil]

legit me

i like the game yes, but not vanilla

never liked vanilla hoi4

i enjoy making my 2 mods, even if they're painful to make

[uncut saffron]

I do not play the game at all
But I live modding it

[uncut saffron]

Theyre not thats the point

[burnt vigil]

meh, sorta are

depends on what you're doing

[uncut saffron]

A bit
But for me, hoi4 is very boring now

[burnt vigil]

meh, im getting there

[uncut saffron]

But I like modding it
Im doing my first mod now

[burnt vigil]

the german tree? ye i like how it looks

what do you have so far?

[uncut saffron]

Yeah
I only have a bit more than Ive shown to you

[burnt vigil]

nice, what do you plan for it all?

[uncut saffron]

@burnt vigil
But ive made some icons for it

The fascist tree needs finishing partisan war branch, political branch, and reorganize the party branch
And there will be alt history democratic and communist trees too
And also, improve national spirit tree and industrial focuses ofc

[burnt vigil]

sick

you should make it so democratic can reinstate old weimar policies as it's own part

bc it was the German Repubic of 1918-1933, and iirc the german republic is the official name of demo germany

[uncut saffron]

But I will not play hoi4 at all, except for the mod when it releases
I have other games to focus on

@burnt vigil

[burnt vigil]

thats fair

stilli it would be a cool thing

[trim glacier]

Me and my friend are trying to make a country in some germany states, and i realized that when i load into the game some german reich divisions will still spawn at the states which ive gived to another nation, can i possibly change their spawn position or delete them?

[burnt vigil]

units file

[burnt vigil]

lol I'd gladly help you make it

[trim glacier]

thank you!

[burnt vigil]

[obtuse condor]

ye

[valid apex]

I mean like the game have decolonize in the setting it self

[lofty plaza]

Something is bugged with the map, will be fixed soon

[obtuse condor]

quick question: in which file do i puppet and unpuppet?

[pale sparrow]

you mean add/remove puppets for at the start of the game?

history/countries, the puppets are in the file of their overlord

e.g. East Indies is in the Netherlands file, Philippines is in the USA file

[obtuse condor]

Ok thx what will happen to the navy? Will it go Dutch?

[pale sparrow]

Nope

[obtuse condor]

Cheers mate, thx alot

[obtuse condor]

I must be blind

I was blind, Found it

[ornate estuary]

anybody know off hand if the text that shows up in focuses (like the description of the focus itself that you can read when you open a focus up) is cached? I edited one just to see if that's how you actually edit those focuses, but don't see the update in a game that I already had started.

[valid apex]

localisation/english/focus_l_english.yml

[ornate estuary]

Yep that is what I changed but once I did so I did not see the update in an ongoing save game. Do I have to start a new one to get the new update I made to show?

[valid apex]

can you see the code pls

[ornate estuary]

I'll try to send it later, I am not on my home PC now.

All I did was change the line I wanted from some long string to "test" just to see if it worked haha

(so an already existing focus description I just changed the string to "test")

[worthy glen]

Does anyone know of a mod of some sort that allows 2 player PvP to practice tactics without just getting wasted by AI for new players? I have over 400 hours in the game but would like to practice with my partner especially since she is new to the game.

[obtuse condor]

you can turn of ia

ai

[worthy glen]

Do you happen to know where I can do that @obtuse condor ? I had not noticed that before.

[obtuse condor]

debug mode

disable_ ai all

[scenic star]

or just type AI

[worthy glen]

Oh. I have never been in a console for this game. Do you know how I would do that? This may be the wrong thread for someone who doesn't make mods to ask this.

[obtuse condor]

On Steam:

Right-click the game, open Properties
Add -debug_mode to the Launch Options at the bottom
Start the game

[scenic star]

console commands are ez

`

[pale sparrow]

you dont need debug mode for console commands

just be in singleplayer non-ironman

[obtuse condor]

does anyone know how to add dynamic modifiers?
I tried to copy over the politburo one to test but it doesn't work

[obtuse condor]

didn't know that

wait i thought I was talking in victoria 3

[pale sparrow]

in the newer games you sometimes do ^^

[obtuse condor]

yeah i thought he asked it in Victoria 3

my bad

[stray nymph]

Hello my friends

I have an simple question about conflicts in mods

So, I'm subscribed in Road to 56 and in another mod that adds new continuous focus

it has some conflicts

If I delete this folder in Road to 56 files will this solve the conflicts?

[viral oriole]

Guys I have a question,
I've been trying to play with some mods on, but some reason Great War mod and Endsieg make my game crash on lauch, while Kaiserreich works just fine.
Any ideas?

[surreal finch]

When i try to join a multiplayer game is said 'host has different version'
I disabled all my mods and got the mods requierd for the multiplayer.
Still nothing, what should i do/

[obtuse condor]

probaly not compatible anymore

[lofty plaza]

Best inquire about that in #ask-for-help-here

[valid apex]

You mean you copy the politburo and nothing show up in the selecting country right ?

[burnt vigil]

is it possible to change a countries tag through events, or nah?

[pale sparrow]

You can give aliases

[burnt vigil]

ah, thx

i plan to do the thing everyone does when making modded tech trees, and making a german one

[sour vigil]

How can I change the states and leaders names by code like :
1936 = {
change_leader_name = ...
}

[valid apex]

if = {
limit = {
date > year.month.date
}
set_character_name = {
character = my_character
name = my_name
}
}

[sour vigil]

how can i make that for state

[valid apex]

set_state_name = "Funland"

[blazing sage]

why can't i do this? the mod is Scenario: Stalingrad

[pale sparrow]

Cant do the focus?

EATG is also checked twice

[slate latch]

does anyone have a good 1.12 compatible cold war mod?

[pale sparrow]

dont think there is one

[stray nymph]

Hello my friends

I need some help here

Can someone edit this file to me?

I want all ideologies being able to make governments in exile

[burnt vigil]

good modern day mod?

[stray nymph]

Road to 56

I'm trying to copy the lines of the code to allow the other ideologies to make governments in exile

This line is in communism

I wrote this correctly?

[pale sparrow]

Sure

Order usually doesn't matter in things like these, so as long as you don't mess up brackets you should be fine

[stray nymph]

"can force government" is a country changing the ideology of another after won the war?

[pale sparrow]

yup

I made a toggling menu for some of these in my cheating mod, you can easily find them on the wiki

[stray nymph]

I'm learning how to edit mods, I can do some minor changes

can you guys recomend me sources do study modding in hoi4?

I know the Iron workshop and MrKM in youtube

[crimson summit]

hoi4 wiki, you can find there a lot of useful information

[pale sparrow]

Wiki and read Road to 56

Big mods in general is useful, but vanilla-like and up-to-date makes it easier

[burnt vigil]

ik the difference between the east and west germany, but what about volga and germany?

nvm, they ruski so i dont gotta worry

[pale sparrow]

Germany is the normal one and Volga is in Russia yes

[burnt vigil]

ye, now to make monarchy and get it to atleast show

how many 'types' does ideology need?

bc monarchy has 2 legitimate types, absolutism (things like Louis XIV) and constitutionalism (Elisabeth II)

[burnt vigil]

after 5 minutes of clicking, it's done

[burnt vigil]

Anyone willing to test my mod?

[south folio]

What is the command to debug gui I for the life of me can't find it anywhere

[burnt vigil]

` + debug

[south folio]

it didn't work

[burnt vigil]

did you open console then type debug?

[south folio]

I open the console and typed ` + debug

[burnt vigil]

oh, you only do the debug part

the ` opens console

[south folio]

debug just says it turns it on or off I want it too look like this so it shows the orgin of gfx

[burnt vigil]

oh, it should be easy to find

[south folio]

I thought so too

[burnt vigil]

GFX\interface\

[south folio]

what no, that's where the files are I want the game to show me when I hover over a given item where they come from

[burnt vigil]

oh

ik how to find them, not how to get them to show

[south folio]

found it now guibounds

[burnt vigil]

ah, thx

ima need it

[blazing sage]

decision

[burnt vigil]

oof

[granite oak]

Any must-have additional mods? Like tool/utility mods that are very useful?

[slender brook]

Mod Toolpack or State Transfer Tool

[past zinc]

anyone else having issues with the stalingrad scenario?

when the decision to get the remainder of the 6th army completed I CTD

its a real shame

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that makes everyone start from scratch like how say china does
little to no factories, no supply hubs other than cities and no technology

[hard glacier]

Anyone got a good Broken world mod? The current one is very buggy?

[obtuse condor]

making my own version of earth, no uninteresting countries

making mockeries of existing cultures

depicted here is a pseudo arabia/africa

may add a longer piece of africa because i like the rhodesian bush war history

[burnt vigil]

this actually looks really good

[obtuse condor]

here it is finished

[burnt vigil]

may i ask how you are getting all the shapes so well?

[obtuse condor]

pencil tool, make it small, do my best to recreate geographic edges

pretty analog

[burnt vigil]

ah

[obtuse condor]

other map artists use the cloud+threshold technique but i dont like it

[pale sparrow]

why is the only river a cross

[obtuse condor]

map is unfinished
making rivers and lakes later

but the geography is finished

[burnt vigil]

ye, looks sick

[obtuse condor]

thanks

[burnt vigil]

dnd map design we would just get our youngest cousin who was like, 4 or 5 to draw big shapes

then roll differend die in each one for the layout

but you're just genius

about an hour of work, just to need to now go back and rename every single party

[burnt vigil]

whats vanilla checksum supposed to look?

bc my bloody game keep saying modified, with all my mods uninstalled

[pale sparrow]

non-aligned is monarchism

[burnt vigil]

not really?

[pale sparrow]

It sais in the launcher

[burnt vigil]

ah, mb im blind

i gotta verify integrity bc i prolly effed up my base files somewhere

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that makes every state except like capital states have no buildings

pls i like makign industry from nothing

its fun

[ornate lily]

how do you install mods on the game, I just wanted to play multi but I don't know how to do the mod side of things

[humble cedar]

To install mods you go to the steam workshop.

[ornate lily]

and then just insert the code that I was sent?

[humble cedar]

i think so

if you have the same mods with the multiplayer lobby you're trying to join it SHOULD, in theory, work.

[ornate lily]

right, top banana. I will look into it. Cheers for the help pal 🙂

[humble cedar]

Ya'll i would like some help.
Im making a small mod which just changes the flags and names of the greek formables, and as of right now im trying to make greater greece, but for some reason when i change the name in localisation it isn't working.

[obtuse condor]

save with encoding UTF-8 with BOM

[humble cedar]

is that something i should download on google?

[obtuse condor]

No, but you can use a site to encode it in BOM

[humble cedar]

oh that's what you meant

[humble cedar]

well i did encode it to UTF-8 (with BOM)

and it is still the normal vanilla names

[obtuse condor]

Hm

[humble cedar]

w8 i made everything in caps again.

nope

it is still "hellenistic empire"

alr i dunno it ain't working

@obtuse condor (srry for the ping) i've discovered smth weird.

i just added the exact same line of code.

to the R56 code.

"r56_countries_cosmetic_I_english"

and now it works even tho it isn't R56????

well, if it works it works i guess.

[obtuse condor]

well i don't know, i never tried to code in rt56

[humble cedar]

welp it's the exact same thing.

[humble cedar]

R56 is a mod for hoi4

Road to 56

[obtuse condor]

Yes i know

[humble cedar]

i have the exact same piece of code in both files

and the one which made the name change was the "r56_countries_cosmetic_I_english"

[obtuse condor]

i usually do like this but for me works

[humble cedar]

well i mean it worked so that's done

[obtuse condor]

Perfect

[burnt vigil]

is it alright to do this for each country as to split them up and make it easier to read

[molten osprey]

Hey, does anyone knows where I can access the 1936 starting stockpile of germany ? i would like to add some planes for a mod i'm doing (the mod : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927792659). Thanks

[burnt vigil]

units folder iirc

[molten osprey]

can you give me the path ?

[burnt vigil]

check history\units\GER_1936_air_bba or GER_1936_air_legacy

you can do the same for navy

and infantry

[molten osprey]

i'm in air bba but i only have the planes in air squadrons

as well as the starting production

but not the planes in reserve

[burnt vigil]

check legacy, idk what other ones there are

yea, just those two

[molten osprey]

alright thanks :)

[burnt vigil]

np

glad to help

[hardy elk]

btw if there are any modders who do Czechoslovak parts in Focus trees i have few ideas which would be cool even in basegame but will never happen i guess 😄

[burnt vigil]

i mean, if you want I'm making a mod that has events to go from 1900 to present and then beyond

if you want, you can join in and help

[hardy elk]

if you need some insights on Czechoslovakian history i can give a lot (ive written my bachelors thesis at uni at Munich agreement topic)

but last time i tried to do hoi modding was like 2018 or 2019 so i dont remember anything from practical side of thing 😄

[burnt vigil]

XD it's alr

even just your knowledge will be perfect

[hardy elk]

yeah i guess i can help with that 🙂

[burnt vigil]

lezgo

so yk czechslovakian or both individually as well for history?

[hardy elk]

well i know about czechoslovakian history kinda lot i think 😄 more detailed about czech part

[burnt vigil]

Perfect, that's 2 trees made

And Slovakian historia we have several sources available

[hardy elk]

what do you have as startdate?

or are there various ones

[burnt vigil]

1900 and 1920

So you can do ww1, or skip and start the depression

[hardy elk]

yeah i mean i have some ideas for both periods

1900 with austriahungay

[burnt vigil]

And them 1920 with things like Czechaslovakia

i wanna make this dropdown happen so the #europe# shows above it

[obtuse condor]

is it possible to make money with hoi4 mods

[burnt vigil]

patreon

if the mod is as big as im making it, then people will want to play it if it's hyped

so have it for a small amount per month to start

then move towards like, 10-20 a month as you add mods and features

[obtuse condor]

What's the mod about

I think I have an idea

[burnt vigil]

1900 to present

[obtuse condor]

Is hoi4 modding easy

also are there any rules that you have to follow when creating am od

[burnt vigil]

sorta

you cant change countries tags, only variables for names and events

like GER_fascism_party:0 "NSDAP"

keep fascism as the ideology, then name parties

and naming it's the same

GER_fascism:0 "German Reich"
but if it's a soviet puppet it becomes Volga German stuff

[obtuse condor]

So basically learning modding in hoi4 is pretty simple and you only need time and a good idea

[burnt vigil]

yep

like my mod, gonna take ages, but it's a good idea and it coveres most everything in the game

[obtuse condor]

.

can you like make war crime mods

[burnt vigil]

ye, the only mod rules are things that are logical

if you can figure out how to pull it off

yes

[obtuse condor]

😱 😈

[burnt vigil]

I'd say, do events that occure during war

and you can choose to punish or turn the other way/defend the defendant

[obtuse condor]

would genocide be too much or nah

[obtuse condor]

pretty good idea I guess

[burnt vigil]

i've killed 3 million in one war, thats genocide

it happens naturally in long wars

[obtuse condor]

Yeah military

Not civilians

[burnt vigil]

true

yea, taking a county/city has a random chance to give the player an event called "Mass Genocide" then describe what happens

now to think of a name for fascist UK bc I made monarchy UK "British Empire"

but base game, fasc uk is british empire

[obtuse condor]

breaking news: soviet soldiers commits horrible war crimes in warsaw, poland ( -0.10 stability for 5 months, every country gets -30 opinion)

[burnt vigil]

Ye

i grabbed prison mush and i know what to name my countries-

[burnt vigil]

does anyone know if this will work for naming?

bc i prefer it this way as it keeps everything organized and it's easier on the eyes

[obtuse condor]

is there any good mods for cold war era?

[pale sparrow]

no

[burnt vigil]

@pale sparrow?

[pale sparrow]

seems fine

[burnt vigil]

alr, thank god

bc i've got 135 lines of this

[molten osprey]

Hey, i'm currently creating a mod and i'm in the need of modifying the entire stockpile of germany in 1936, can someone tell me which file should i edit ?

[pale sparrow]

OOB probably, history/units

[molten osprey]

well, no... i've been searching there for 2 hours but i can't find anything. But there's a lot of things i don't understand

lets take the example of france

as france you start with like 600 ft17 tanks and lets say 400 H-35

but a lot of armored divisions don't have tanks because there is none in stockpile

how the hell did they manage to chosse wich division has great war tanks, and wich has modern tanks

and how have they done this deficit thing

i can't fint anything nowhere

not even on internet

it's not even a topic on hoi4 modding wiki

[odd geyser]

I created a custom country, all good and etc., but as soon as I started building factories for it myself (in the game), they do not add up, and the value of the factories is the same as at the start of the game, what is the reason for this?

@pale sparrow

[pale sparrow]

the states must be cored

[odd geyser]

Tag of state controller is not Enough?

[pale sparrow]

without compliance you dont gain access to the factories

[odd geyser]

add_core_of = (counry tag)?

Right?

[pale sparrow]

yup

[odd geyser]

And i should whrite this after
owner = (tag)?

[pale sparrow]

yup

[odd geyser]

Ok, ill try

thanks

[odd geyser]

And it still dont working >D

[slender brook]

{}

Curly brackets

[odd geyser]

Have

I think i broke something

ok, only i can do - remake this

[burnt vigil]

i can help

i've done an enitre mod of just state stuff

whats the difference between the neutrality and everything else that needs :1 and not :0

[slender brook]

The :0 is just a note for revision

It doesn't actually do anything

So neutrality having :1 is because the name has changed from Neutrality to non-aligned

[burnt vigil]

ah, thx

[trail cliff]

Is there a way to make the ai accept a custom decision 100%/90% of the time? If yes, how would I go about coding that in?

[burnt vigil]

ik it's possible, i forgot how

check events for the Danzig or War event and choices

bc historical off, Poland can give Danzig

[trail cliff]

Alright man, thanks

[burnt vigil]

np, glad to try help

[odd geyser]

Ok

[burnt vigil]

what state are you trying to do it with

and who needs to core and own the land

[slender brook]

Just send the file to them

Or me

[burnt vigil]

this is for 1-france.txt, but should translate to what you need

add_core_of = TAG - major
ownder = TAG - major

the rest varies per state

[odd geyser]

My country controls and cores danzig, but as soon as I started building factories for it myself (in the game), they do not add up

So yes, i broke something

cuz i wrote this right

but it still not working

[burnt vigil]

Anker would be better for that

[slender brook]

Send the whole mod to me, it'll be easier than going through a middleman

[odd geyser]

in DM?

[slender brook]

Yeah

[odd geyser]

i sended

[frank sierra]

Hi everyone

Is this server nice?

[burnt vigil]

yuh

[frank sierra]

Cool

[burnt vigil]

you'll get a few assholes who won't listen and argue, or the few racists or nazi, but if you ignore them the sv is amazing

super helpful people everywhere

[eternal wyvern]

stupid question:

if I'm lacking an expansion and I subscribe to a mod that may have some flavor to its features, the mod won't download complete right?

[frank sierra]

Good to know

[burnt vigil]

it will complete, but prolly break

[frank sierra]

I originally amefrom another place

The people are so crazy I had to flee

[burnt vigil]

it's alr

[frank sierra]

But I have much experience in modding

[burnt vigil]

for hoi4?

[frank sierra]

Perhaps I can help some people

[frank sierra]

Yes

[burnt vigil]

nice, im making a hoi4 mod and slowly putting a team together, how good are you at event creation?

[frank sierra]

I'm full of surprises

[burnt vigil]

lol bet

I'll DM you info

[frank sierra]

Great

[pale sparrow]

If its properly made it shouldnt mattwr

[trail cliff]

I'm having a minor issue but I don't understand why it's happening:

I added commie, fash and democracy flags to my country but they are upside down
the only one upright is the neutrality flag (starting ideology)
Any ides why the others aren't the right way up and/or any fixes other than putting the image upside down in photoshop?

[burnt vigil]

are they all using the same base file to make them?

[trail cliff]

I used the ABK flags as the base file to figure out the dimensions

[burnt vigil]

ADU flag

[trail cliff]

use those instead?

[burnt vigil]

like, as a base

then just copy the flag onto it

[trail cliff]

Alright

Thanks

[burnt vigil]

np

[vast nymph]

My apologies

I had to use my 2nd account

I thought my 1st was dead

[obtuse condor]

How this look?

Dream of the West

[burnt vigil]

looks badass

use it

how accurate is this map for regions in europe? it's how im organizing names

[slender brook]

I mean you could define Europe however you want

I would personally say Western Europe, Eastern Europe, British Isles, Central Europe, Northern Europe, Balkans

[burnt vigil]

ye, thats sorta what im doing

I've got the baltics, Balkins, Norse, Central, Western, and British Isles

western can be divided into the balkins/baltics though, like belarus and ukraine/moldova

[slender brook]

I mean I personally wouldn’t separate Baltics but go ahead

[burnt vigil]

meh, it's a personal thing

like this for example

i just gotta rename scandav

[slender brook]

What about the rest of Eastern Europe

[burnt vigil]

missing would be?

[slender brook]

Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, debateably Poland

[burnt vigil]

Poland is more central IMO, Belarus is fair, same with RUS

ukraine is debated to be a baltic state soon if they don't get annexed

the EU was debating it prior to the Russian-Ukrainian war

Belarus I could say is a Baltic state and be lazy, and Russia be outside of these catagories

[slender brook]

Do you know what the Baltic states are

[burnt vigil]

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

[slender brook]

Yes, and Ukraine does not touch the Baltic

[burnt vigil]

i meant Balkin

mb

[slender brook]

Why not just make it Eastern Europe if you’re gonna include Belarus and Ukraine

[burnt vigil]

fair

now, ik your opinion @slender brook, where would you personally rank Moldova? bc it sits snug between Ukraine and Romania

but used to be Romanian for a long while

[slender brook]

I would put it in Balkans

[burnt vigil]

same lol, only bc of romanian relations

other than that, it looks like a bite of ukraine

i totally forgot, i gotta rename most of these ideologies soon

changing Communism with Socialism, fascism for Nationalism, Democratic stays and Neutrality stays

[slender brook]

Wouldn’t fascism be ultra-nationalims

[burnt vigil]

yea

so it's being changed

and Ultra-Nationalist will be a subideology

and socialism will be it's own ideology bc it's more than just demo or commie, each one has it's own branches of "isms and ary's"

[trim crest]

anyone here know BSR

[scenic star]

how do I make it so Germany can build Militia

[slender brook]

Give them the technology that allows militias

Or actually it might be make a technology and give it to them, I think countries with militias start out with them as divisoons

[leaden crane]

volga germany is different tag

and actually an entire different nation

[trail cliff]

Not that accurate if I was to say so myself

[obtuse condor]

there are no mod tools

help guyz

nvm it's just called upload mod

[tired copper]

are modding websites for hoi4 good at all?

[valid apex]

hi guys

whats new in the modding community today

[pale sparrow]

You

[obtuse condor]

nuh uh

[pale sparrow]

but you are fairly new

[obtuse condor]

ive been modding for 2 years wdym

just never been active on this server, usually small projects

free assets btw

dont want them anymore

[sour vigil]

Why the state name different ?

[obtuse condor]

you want istanbul?

[sour vigil]

no

[obtuse condor]

look who owns it

Byzantium

[sour vigil]

you see that doth

?

look near the doth

[obtuse condor]

yeah must be a bug

[sour vigil]

how can i fix

[obtuse condor]

the name should be changed to constantinople with the state if byzantium owns it

no idea, im bad at coding

i can prob find u a good tutorial though

[sour vigil]

I changed that to constantinople

because in the past thats name is constantinople

[obtuse condor]

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/dynamic-names.1073840/

read this

should help

[sour vigil]

ok

[obtuse condor]

you can maybe create a political decision to reinstate the byzantium names, and then have it change the names of whatever

[sour vigil]

state={
    id=797
    name="STATE_797"
    provinces={
        9833 11829 
    }
    manpower = 1042276
    resources={
        #chromium=45 # was: 84
        #steel = 10 # was: 20
    }
    
    state_category = city

    history= {
        victory_points = {
            9833 25
        }
        buildings = {
            infrastructure = 3 #was: 5
            industrial_complex = 2
            arms_factory = 2
            9833 = {
                naval_base = 8
            }
        }
                1451.2.3.12 = {
                     set_state_name = "Constantinople"
                     owner = GRE
                }
                1453.4.6.12 = {
                    set_state_name = "Istanbul"
                    owner = TUR
                }

        add_core_of = GRE
    }

    local_supplies=0.0 
}

The state code is this and maybe the bug in the changing state name idk but how can i fix that ?

[sour vigil]

Above the state in the map, there is a dot and the near the dot there is a state's name but it is different.

[pale sparrow]

👏

[obtuse condor]

cities are in a provinces not states

you can add this code to province city name

states have nothing to do with it, provinces are the ones

[trail cliff]

I'd like some help if possible:
I have a news event that I want to pop up on start, figured it out and it all works good
but the problem is I want it to show up for 3 different countries, but it only shows up for one, the one that is at the top on the code (in my code POL is at the top so the event only shows up for poland and I want it to show up for Germany and Lithuania too). How would I go about fixing this?
Here is the code:

on_actions = {
    on_startup = {
        effect = {
            POL = { news_event = GPK_news.1 }
            GER = { news_event = GPK_news.1 }
            LIT = { news_event = GPK_news.1 }
        }
    }
}

[pale sparrow]

On_startup is fired on every country, you might want to keep that in mind

[trail cliff]

And If I wanted a news event to pop up only for 3 countries at the start of the game, how would I do that without on_startup?

Do I need to make 3 separate on_startup's for each nation?

[burnt vigil]

GER_Puppet_SOV:0 "Volga Germany" IIRC

I'll rq check again

No, you are right its VGE

but with TAG_TAG2_ideology_subject you can make a country have a different name whne a puppet

[obtuse condor]

Hello guys, i want to stop uk or any democratic guarrentees is there any way to do that

[burnt vigil]

in the 00_ideologies.txt file

you want this in a mod, but change the democratic rule

can_guarantee_other_ideologies = yes

[obtuse condor]

but if i do this they cant guarantee poland or other necessary countries

[burnt vigil]

correct

poland, yugoslav, everyone who isn't democratic

so if you influence them to be fasc or communist, you can attack anyone who isn't in the allies

[obtuse condor]

i mean that ruins the game

can we change the ai strategy ?

[burnt vigil]

of thats the issue

keep tension under 25%, and they cannot guarentee

[obtuse condor]

so its impossible to fix this problem

[burnt vigil]

it is possible, you just need to attack someone small

[pale sparrow]

I think do a condition of OR = {
tag = GER
tag = LIT
...
}
country_event = ...

[green lark]

you need to change the vp name to constantinople in localisation

[burnt vigil]

lol thx, finna use the army men one for conscription laws

[obtuse condor]

i got more for you then

[burnt vigil]

lol bet

[obtuse condor]

both cuban flags but you can change them in gimp or photoshop

[green lark]

the assets are quite blurry

you can sharpen them in photoshop

[trail cliff]

thanks for the help but it didn't work sadly

[green lark]

my recent icons

[trail cliff]

is there a template you use for these or do you freestyle them?

[green lark]

template?

[trail cliff]

as in premade assets

[green lark]

i use mapnos frames but apart from that all the assets are custom

they are really high quality too

[trail cliff]

This might sound like an idiotic question, but are these in public domain?

[green lark]

they are free to use, yes

all credit for the frames goes to mapno

my icons arnt free to use though

[trail cliff]

an where can I find mapnos frames?

[green lark]

lemme send the zip in dms

[trail cliff]

alright

[uncut saffron]

@pale sparrow excuse me, but does the "id" in the focus tree matter? because the trees are assigned trough country factor, so what is this used for?

[pale sparrow]

In the basegame its used in commands for more complex civil wars

Country factor doesn't always work if a country has two high factors, so in Road to 56, countries are force loaded the correct tree on game start, the factor then ensures it stays correct after civil wars

[uncut saffron]

so, the game will break if I will change it?

I want to remake focus trees, events and so on for every major nation for example.

[pale sparrow]

If you're not making the new tree separate, you should probably leave the name the same, just for convenience

[uncut saffron]

also, what ID would I assign if I'm making a focus tree for a nation that doesn't have it?
"brazilian_focus"?

[pale sparrow]

anything not taken you want

the specific name doesn't matter

[uncut saffron]

I understand, thank you

[pale sparrow]

except not using characters like space of course

[spark orbit]

I'm being quite confused about the two modifiers of heat and winter attrition that doesn't seem to work on my added technology, here's how it looks in game and in the technologies/infantry.txt, any help ?

[stoic ether]

Does someone knows how to fix the germany crash of Road to 56?

[pale sparrow]

Please share more

[stoic ether]

i was in the start of the game "prepraring" then i just go to the side to kill hitler and then just ;-;

[pale sparrow]

sounds like mod conflict, bit early

[stoic ether]

i just started in janurary so idk nothing

[burnt vigil]

if i modify a base game file to be more readable but do the exact same thing, will my game be classed as "modified"?

[slender brook]

I don’t think so. I think it’d only be modified if you changed any actual code, but if you’re just adding comments and spaces it should he fine

[burnt vigil]

alr, thank god

bc whenever i make mods, the hardest part for things like parties or countries is how much of a mess it is

[molten osprey]

Hey, does anyone knows how i can access the starting stockpile of germany ? I want to add some carriers planes to the starting stockpile but without having them deployed at the start of the game. I also want to reduce the number of rifles in stockpile to create a deficit. Thanks

[burnt vigil]

I am thinking about adding Jan Mayan as a country, but the land it is isn't an actual province, or anything

how can i add borders/using landmass

[slender brook]

To reduce the number of rifles and cause deficit you have to spawn units without full equipment

[molten osprey]

ok i'll figure it out. And do you have an idea for how to make air wings without full equipment ?

[slender brook]

Check out GER_1936 and GER_1936_air_bba in history/units for more info

And yeah for air wings you can just spawn an amount

[molten osprey]

ok thanks for the help

[obtuse condor]

does anyone know how to fire a mission using a variable?

[burnt vigil]

in base game hoi4, when I take african land like Nambia for example, I can't produce units in it as germany or Italy, how can I change that

[pale sparrow]

Connect it by land I assume

[burnt vigil]

but it's part of Africa-

[pale sparrow]

yes, still

thats how it works I think

[slender brook]

IT is

Connection to capital

Also it has to be owned territory not just controlled

Although it counts owned territory connected by controlled territory

[burnt vigil]

odd, but alr

so if it's overseas, you can't produce units in it?

[slender brook]

Nope

Britain can never build units outside of Britain

[burnt vigil]

damn

alr I'll figure something out for tanzania, nambia, togo and camaroon

[slender brook]

Make decisions that enreataeng troops there

[burnt vigil]

ye true

isn't there mods that do that?

[slender brook]

Idk

[burnt vigil]

where you can get units to spawn on every state

bc ik there was a civil war one that did that

[pale sparrow]

I cant seem to find the variable it should have

could be hardcoded

[burnt vigil]

maybe

[slender brook]

That's what I was thinking

[burnt vigil]

i think it was https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538040819&searchtext=american+civil+war

can't guarentee, might have been taken down

bc "USA" was only West Virginia, and Union owned all the land you in in here

yea, this was the mod

as the confederates, thats a feature you can get from decisions

[pale sparrow]

I think in a civil war/for cores it might be anywhere

Because vanilla USA can also deploy on split lands

[burnt vigil]

ye, hoi4 is weird asf

it's good, but the writing for the files like name_l_language become a huge mess if you don't organize them for your mod

[pale sparrow]

pretty easy to organize

[burnt vigil]

ye, many ways to

I want to give a province to state (Shift + K) in debug mode but when i click the save button the state transform the first status.

[obtuse condor]

what does this mean

ive often found making states through code is much more robust than making it through nudge, nudge tool is broken

at least for me

[sour vigil]

I want to set this province's ( 11829 ) owner to Izmit state, did you see?

[stray nymph]

Hello my friends

[obtuse condor]

do it with notepad++ or atom
go to state files, remove the province from the current owner state
then go to the state you want it to be owned by, and give it the province

thats it

[stray nymph]

so, I'm investigating some crashes in my game for 3 days, I already fixed some errors that were mentioned in the logs error.txt folder, but the crashes are still occurring

[burnt vigil]

change core and owner in the history\states

let me see

[stray nymph]

I would appreciate some help if you guys could

[sour vigil]

I want to make that with nudge tool

[obtuse condor]

not good, nudge is bad at states

[obtuse condor]

a screenshot of errors or a log would be enough

[obtuse condor]

missing a lot of sound effects

[burnt vigil]

Duplicate of LIT_infantry_2_entity added to entity system, you've got dupes too

[obtuse condor]

textures are in wrong format, game cant open them

probably not in DDS if i has to guess

a lot of duplications

this is easy fix, just go by the errors and read em

also some coding format errors
probably an extra space in the file

[stray nymph]

and this Invalid tech errors in MTGE?

I'm using a mod called "MTG Expanded"

well, the only error that I care about is the one that is crashing the game

[obtuse condor]

its probably the dupes and MTGE

disable MTGE, fix the dupes and check

[stray nymph]

So there is duplicated files in this mod?

I can report it to the owner

[obtuse condor]

yes there is

[sour vigil]

I did this with notepad++ now but both state files have the province id I want to change.

[obtuse condor]

city file?

[sour vigil]

yes

[obtuse condor]

no such thing, cities are in provinces

[sour vigil]

history/states

[obtuse condor]

those are state files

[sour vigil]

I talk about that

[obtuse condor]

only one state can own a province

remove it from the other

yes

I made that

I'm trying to upload a mod

And this error happens

K is the name of the partition/hd

I marked the option to upload in steam workshop

[molten osprey]

when you upload a mod and it's this error, you just need to delete the big number

wait

i'll show you

this one

if you want to upload a mod, you need to make this section empty

if after publishing you need to update it, don't remove the number

[stray nymph]

it works, thank you for the help

[molten osprey]

np :)

[obtuse condor]

how to fix pls

[acoustic shoal]

How do I use other nations equipment in a division (say I wanted to use German tanks)

[pale sparrow]

try changing renderer in the launcher

[obtuse condor]

fyi im making a mod which changes the base gamess heightmap and stuff so

[pale sparrow]

thats a really interesting map-making glitch

[obtuse condor]

yeah

[obtuse condor]

could you potentially look over my files and see whats wrong?

heightmap, provinces and shit

[pale sparrow]

Sorry I have no experience with heightmap/bitmaps

[obtuse condor]

arggh

alright

[obtuse condor]

anyone yk who does and can help?

[pale sparrow]

Not rly

[obtuse condor]

alr

[molten osprey]

hey, does anyone knows how to deploy planes to an aircraft carriers ?

[cedar thunder]

you need to have the carrier in production then you can select what type of planes you want to put in

each number is 10 planes

also you need to produce those planes

[molten osprey]

yea but in modding

[cedar thunder]

oh wait i forgot this is modding

💀

[molten osprey]

cause i have my 4 aircraft carriers that i created for germany

[molten osprey]

x)

i don't understand what's wrong (the names of the carriers are good)

[lofty plaza]

Have you checked the error log?

[gleaming moon]

hi

[lofty plaza]

Hello

[gleaming moon]

thats meens?

[dim torrent]

Is there a mod that lets you change country flags and names

[burnt vigil]

this is a professional question for my mod, should Transcaucasia be Central Middle Eastern/Western Asia?

[burnt vigil]

one thing I hate about hoi4 names in base, is the DEF that start with 'the' are always lowercase

like Malta, "the Tenth Crusade"

[slender brook]

Doesn't it automatically become The if need be

[burnt vigil]

idk, but it's a legit force of habit to make it "The" not "the"

people can say it's pointless, I still do bc it looks cleaner in the actual files

[honest eagle]

What

Transcaucasia is where Georgia Armenia and Azerbaijan is

[burnt vigil]

Yes

Would you class it as Central or Western/Middle Eastern Asia

Bc it can also be jts own thing in Europe bc of how "white" the countries are from their past with russia

[honest eagle]

Western Asia and Eastern Europe

It’s the border iirc

[slender brook]

I would say physically Western Asia but more aligned to Eastern Europe.

[slender brook]

Anyways it should be Middle East

Or Western Asia or whaever

[obtuse condor]

that is how it is supposed to be

capitalized "the" does not make sense

it is not grammatically correct

[twilit hatch]

How can i remove the shitty generic political advisors?

[astral lake]

history > general > generic_advisors.txt

i think

[twilit hatch]

thx very much

Problem Fixed

[rocky totem]

anybody

please

i need the dawn steam link

[pale sparrow]

Theres DefCap that capitalizes

[pale sparrow]

At the start of sentences its annoying

[burnt vigil]

The Holy Roman Empire
Or
the Holy Roman Empire

[burnt vigil]

Ah

[wraith lion]

no central middle eastern is iraq and syria but you could make it its own region

[burnt vigil]

I already got it in part of middle east/western Asia

[molten osprey]

Hi, i made a mod that modifies the starting navy of the German Reich in 1936, and I added 4 Graf Zeppelin class carriers and i'm currently trying to deploy planes on them

but I have some issues

he're my error log, can someone help me with it ?

so how do i make my naval oob load before the air oob ?

[obtuse condor]

Fair enough

[obtuse condor]

You never capitalize the after the first word when referring to, for example: the Holy Roman Empire

[pale sparrow]

based profile btw

[obtuse condor]

Tsym :3

Yours is cute

[pale sparrow]

depends if "the" is part of the title

[burnt vigil]

Ye, like when it's saying "you're the Star" compared to being called "The Star"

[old zodiac]

im using the rise of nations mod but its not letting me make my army bigger

pls help

[molten osprey]

i don't know the mod but since you are using germany maybe you are limited due to the treaty of versailles ?

[burnt vigil]

Yea, try break Versailles with Rhineland demiliterization

[pale sparrow]

I assume this changes automatically when you deploy units

[south folio]

For the people looking for an updated version of Frigate's Content pack here is one

[dapper hound]

I need a mod that adds more reichkommissarriatts

[wind orchid]

what year is it? which scenario are you playing? how big is your army? do you have any restrictions? what country are you playing?

[vast nymph]

?

I can't send invites?

Damn

I really don't wanna go to other places, they're crazy

[old zodiac]

1942, 1933, its big but on small size, idk, germany

[wind orchid]

wack

[burnt vigil]

Damn lol

[vast nymph]

Is there by chance any other way to get server partnership?

[burnt vigil]

in the latest version, how long can you make a single national focus

[sharp valve]

1 guerillian focuses

[burnt vigil]

??

also, imagine needing to write 4194 names + puppets & formables, could be me rn

[sharp valve]

Up from only 3 gajillion last update

[sharp valve]

I thought I gave you an intuitive answer

[burnt vigil]

how long is that tho

[sharp valve]

well a guerillian is somewhere between a gajillion and 2 jegjillian

[burnt vigil]

...

that shouldn't be possible

[sharp valve]

and after all... why not

[burnt vigil]

because it would automatically become continuous

which never ends and take 1PP per day

[burnt vigil]

what would happen if i started my hoi4 mod without colors or the country\ files with the UI color?

would it put random or nah?

[hybrid hull]

Probably actually better to ask this here:

How do I change a single unit's fuel capacity without changing the defines? Just adding a 'fuel capacity = X' causes the first helmet in a division to add x/2, and then has no effect on subsequent ones.

XD fr

usually, I'd have greece my maybe 1937 at most

but i'm chilling

and totally not working on an advanced german navy

[obtuse condor]

Mod idea! A mod that makes the AI take power over a nation but somehow if its possible let the player lead the army. Like for example being the head of wehrmatch: Both air, navy and land.
