Maybe even make it possible to ask for equipment for the leader of the nation
Idk if somthing like this is possible but it would be cool
Any modders?
Maybe even just be a commander and lead a division. For example Erwin rommel and the 7th panzer division
it should only be adding two as the focus to send the flag isnt done but it still saying it adds 4?
your if statement is wrong, and you lack indentation
so how do I fix that. do i replace the if or somethin? its my first time using flags
youre using the flag correctly but youre using if and indentation wrong
can someone tell me how I can add/remove construction speed for an idea?
so should I replace the if or swap something round thats in the if
please check the wiki and start using indentation
this is such basics I shouldnt give the solution

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers under buildings
normally i would just do the ingame icons and sh but my code partners ill so im trying to figure it out to get it out on time
thank you
I was looking at the wrong section of the wikithen
Add_stats has no effect, and I don't see anything else outside of the defines that even references fuel capacity.
The vanilla fuel cap handling seems really dumb. I can't think of being satisfied with a unit mod that keeps it.
can someone tell me how to get rid of idea names like "cool_idea"
like the underlines
I require some help
I want a news event to appear on the start of a new game for every nation
but on_startup ins't cooperating and I'm at a loss of ideas
Is there a mod that adds more reichkommissarriatts? If so can i get a link?
show your code
The event code
This is the on_startup code
I'm positive I'm not doing the on_startup corectly
you dont need every_country
on_startup includes an every_country scope automatically
Alright, but when I tried it without that it still didn't work
also remove major = yes
doesn't it require that for it to show up to all countries?
the on_startup fires the event on all countries, the is_major does that again
meaning you get the event n^2 times
yes, lemme see if i can find it
average hoi4 map editing moment for my friend
alternate history
where germany starts invading the ussr in 1944 and the ussrs industrialised enought to withstand it so theres a cold war
yep
where are the files with the information for countries? (leader, if puppet or not, leading party, etc.)
uhm, iirc it's the "Hoi4\history\countries
thx
np
I'm tempted to make a designer for every ground vehicle just to get around this. I dont think I can consider a mod complete if it doesnt fix the way it works in vanilla. Default is just too dumb.
I'm wondering, i wanna get hoi4 for my german friend but at the same time i don't want it to censor the nazi stuff bc it's not fair he'd get done dirty like that
do mods bypass the censorship?
Yes
W
bc he's the kind of german to not care about the social standard of not flying the flag patriotically
This is like someone asking how to fix their car and you recommend they buy a Tesla
Someone make this a Hoi4 mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkN2q3YZzdE&ab_channel=zvallid
What if the Communists had gained power in 1920 in Germany, after a Bolshevik-style revolution? What would have happened in the rest of the World, USA, UK, Italy, France, Russia, India, China, and in the European empires?
How would WW2 have played out if Germany had become a communist state? And what would be the fate of Hitler?
ww2 starts in 1930
I could work on that after I get my part of my mod done
But at the same time, it should be sorta easy
Change the country to have a communist leader, and just make some events
Focus tree as well, but you can also do the base one with communist effect
Oh yeah because Germany becoming communist totally has no repercussions beyond Germany being communist
Communist it would, but socialist it's simple
It was already a dying mess, communistic ideals would prolly ruin the little unity left
Is there a way to make a certain tech only available when a certain game rule is selected?
I actually think there is a way
What's your goal for it, like what do yoy want to do to make the tech availabke
Is there a mod which allows players to search for a specific song in a radio?
how do i delete a state in nudge without having to change every other state?
my brain-
also i put tno ideologies
also how do i make countries puppets and/or in the same faction?
and how do i create factions that are already at the start?
in the history file of the country you want to lead the faction
create_faction = FACTION_NAME
puppets?
Did you turn off rl compress in gimp?
idk how to do that on paint.net
No known way to do it rn i think you have to use gimp
They did? They just changed the name.
now i have an original scenario
So im tryna make a custom tag, but for some reason it won't switch to my desired color, I've selected the color (RGB Code : 154 78 174) and it still uses the normal country's color (If you use set_cosmetic_tag GRE INF_IMPERIUM_neutrality the color will still be the same greek blue)
So I have a game rule with 2 options (basically enabled or disabled) and I’d like the techs to be accessible only when the game rule is set to enabled.
Need to set a "Leader" iirc
Ah, idk tbh
I think it might be a "Is = [Variable here]
how would I implement that?
Anywhere that doesn't impede on brackets
I think
I'd test it, and report back
where and what to type?
Hello is 0.3 the default attrition factor?
Error: "Unknown modifier: is, near line: 1335" in file: "common/technologies/electronic_mechanical_engineering.txt" near line: 1340
Ah, hm no idea then sorry
I've been working one 1 thing in my mod and it's wired into my head
dang, thanks for trying! Any tips on how I might figure this out?
Check maingame things similar to that, ik in focus trees like Canada
You can see the exclusivity for dlc requirements
Might just fully add the tech instead of locking it behind a gamerule
Yeah, it's a continuation of some existing techs
meanwhile modding

been trying to make the cold war mod gfx in the base game but i cant find the font they use. anyone know what it is?
this mod exists but it replaces all the fonts which breaks on overhaul mods like kr and twr, and it uses the new font which looks weird despite the images showing the old font https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2576824118&searchtext=cold+war
so im using this one which doesnt include the font https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823603844&searchtext=cold+war
if the new font does have a modn page i'll be fine with that also, either one, aslong as it doesnt change all the fonts
yea ik super specific sorry
Don't Believe ai coloring site
Wdym that is perfectly usable
Lol
Is it possible to use CMYK for hoi4 coloring as well as RGB?
I wanna make a more vibrant selection of yellows and purples, but it's hard when I'm stuck to combining 3 colors and not adding base to magenta for example
How can i fix this?
i fixed that
but
i added some states
and do i have to do this manually?
because i did these
Did you chose random all states or each one
random all states
i made some states and chose random all states
the error log only shows the provinces and states i modified by making new states
Random and validate one more time?
Is there a problem with that?
OK SO there are less errors with the buildings
For the land fort i sure that it is the fact that the state file still write the code that not thier anymore
I think that applies with supply hub too
Do it one by one then try it
Just to make sure the game recognises the states existence
So click on a state, randomise, onto the next one, repeat until down and then save
Does the yml file have UTF-8 with BOM encdoing
Isn’t it just cuz you haven’t added the localisation for the national socialist ideology
maybe the names area problem?
Don’t see why scripted effects would be a problem
i think i know why
Good catch
maybe its because its reading colonial_nationalsocialism as an ideology
Still don’t see what it has to do with scripted effects but sure
Hello, Does anyone know how I can make a state outline when hovering over a decision, or other?
I'd like to outline the states required to form a nation, and i'd like them to be visible on the map while hovering over the decision, which i've seen before. Its usually a blue outline.
How would I do this?
It's in the decision category as defined on map targets which uses an array and the target states. I can't show it right now since I'm not home but see what RT56 does.
Yeah, I figured it was something to do with highlight_state. Looking in RT56 rn, and can't see anything in the decision categories for highlight_state
Formable categories
I got that, The part where it displays the states required doesn't show though. What would be required to transfer from it? is there arrays I need to find in the files and bring over?
Thats what i'm searching for right now; the r56_formable_states_array locations incase that's whats stopping the category from showing
Got it 😉
What the hell did you DO
Re-established the short-lived Central American republics of Yucatán and Los Altos
Thought that one was self evident from the picture
Granted, I admit that the historical Los Altos didn’t extend its borders that far, but making it more historical would mean making absolutely tiny provinces
i was wondering how some consccription laws are not visible to selection but like the ones for switzerland like how do u do that?
visible = {…} i think that the code
I ask you if anyone has experience with modding hoi 4 that would advise me how to properly set up on start_up passing rights to resources
I tried to solve it like this but it didn't work
one the rights to the resource
you are giving MNT
resource rights
with that syntax
but in receiver you have OTO
so i think that collision makes it not work cus u have 2 receivers
so you need to remove MNT ={}
and then at the receiver part
set the one you want to get the rights
that should do it
are you sure ?
yes
because now you are basically saying "give MNT resource rights but OTO receives them,
makes no sense
have you done it ?, I'm a bit afraid that it's not set in on_actions but I think it's likely
does anyone know how to add an ambient object in nudge
like replace the hoi4 banner at the top of the map
replace this thing
i can delete it, but i want to add a different one
french states
'Ello
6kb is nothing
ye, but the amount i havent done
i started on brunei on sunday, it's thursday today
so nearly a week of work, and nothing to show for it
is there any mod that game starts 1945?
how do you make decisions targeted to a neighbouring state?
i think rise of nations or something similar
probably something like this
you target every neighbour state this way
then you can add is_controlled_by = TAG under NOT = {} for maybe a specific country only
i think i made a mistake when explaining, the decision should pop up only in neighbouring states
not the effects, but the targeting of the decision
as in state u mean country
no, states
can you be more specific
i currently have something that targets all states, i just need to limit it to neighbor states
like the spanish anarchist integration stuff?
but instead of being states that you control, it would be states you border
states connected to your border or?
states that are your neighbor, like bordering you
ohh as in a decision that you click on the map like in the spanish civil war
ahhhh
wait let me check how those decisions work
i think the spanish civil war decisions are hardcoded tho
they are just syntax i think tho
?
yeah, hardcoded
yes but its still a decision u can mod
the problem there is, i would have to mod a minimum of 60 decisions, i really dont want to do that
but what exactly do you want to do
make something dynamic, for example, you could make dozens of decisions that target every democratic country, or just add one decision that targets all democratic countries, i want to do something like that, but with neighbour states
as in you want to
make a decision you can perform on every state
that is neighbouring to one of your states?
yes
i wouldnt know how to do that if it is even possible
i dont you could do that unless you make a decision for all the states in the game and their neighbours
like u could do something like any_neighbour_state = { }
and in there specify something
alr, i'll keep researching. thanks for the help
Is there a mod where the Soviet Union becomes stronger? So I can play as Germany and try to beat them up. I'm mostly looking for a mod where the Soviet Union trains troops to the amount of millions and in mass numbers. Just like in real life that if I give them more losses it would just get replaced.
'Stronger' seems a bit vague
You could always give them a boost in game rules
Is there a good mod for the napoleonic wars
You can always increase the entire countries everything in a mod, then try thay
oh yeah, alr. I would love a dumb ai strong (no sarcasm intended if it sounded like it)
thinking moment
Monarchy in Philippines
in 1900
bc USA owned them from the spanish-american warto 1946
@slender brook how would I change a country name through a decision?
Asking you bc you made a mod with that exact purpose
Add a cosmetic tag
Alr, thx
how to make long party name show?
It’s not supposed to be visible there. If you hover your mouse over the ideology icon, it should be visible, IIRC.
For BBA Divisional Commanders, Is there any way to link them to NSB's Character scope?
For purposes of guaranteeing traits for these commanders on promotion, conditionals for events & Focus, ect.
If not is there a way to resign a Divisional commander through command? Or check if a particular division has a desired Commander?
My goal is to make an Easter egg that can only be accessible if you promote the unique commander from a starting division.
But any info for BBA's DCs would be appreciated, there is practically no documentation for modding these guys online.

I love playing historical wars with a system of warfare that only existed for half a century
anyone know any good mods
Are you searching for total overhauls or quality of life mods
overhauls
like the great war redux ect
Great War Redux
Well crap that’s my favourite overhaul
same
Uh I guess Old World Blues if you want something really different
k
Kaiserreich is great and has the longest pedigree/lore of any mod (was also a mod for HOI II & Vic II) and MD is good
I can’t pay off all my debt in millennium Dawn, I have 0.129 debt left but it won’t let me pay it off (I have billions of dollars)
Also, since I am playing as Canada if I puppet the states would I have to fix their economy? They are in a huge downward spiral
probably
but damn, I'm confused with myself right now, i have no idea wtf went on but i'm just about to finish Asia
after a week
Guys how do I download kaisserreduex and millennium dawn
steam workshop
asia is done
hopefully i didn't forget any majors, bc im not checking rn
are most mods broke right now due to the update yesterday?
there was an update?
wasnt there a patch yestday? steam shows it for me
oh ye there was
op sabre, it just looks to benifit bulgaria/romania
and some QOL fixes
my game crashes with any mods..sucks
i have all my mods un subbed and the game keeps telling me my mods are outdated....FML

yep
bloody odd
well not its loading
my game loaded with 19 mods
**now

humm..strange...what mods are you using? if thats easy to post
everything but RT56 pretty muc
last i counted it was around 19
oh, no it's 17, 18 with rt56
i get lag, but thats normal for hoi4 with me
ty
ye
modding hpi4 gonna easy :D
is_hired_as_advisor = yes/no trigger really gonna make military leaders like rommel good
have you played the millenium dawn mods?
Nope, I don't find it interesting
Question:
In a mod what is the file path that contains the focus icons?
It would really help me out if anyone told me the path
are there any cool maps in the workshop? (similar to fps map) that someone could send me?
So how would I go about modifying ideas without constantly switching them out?
since i have multiple decisions that improve an idea but i dont want to make 6 different variants of that idea
I want to ask something.I want to create a formable nation. How can i do that?
focus icons are usually in hoi4/gfx/interface/goals
Where can i find the codes of formable nations
hoi/common/decisions/formable_nation_decisions and also if you're making a new one you'll need the category which is at the top in the folder
Thanks bro
Diplomacy is kinda broken in millennium dawn, annexed USA and Mexico as Canada without a single war
MD is only there to create reddit posts
hello I am new to modding can someone tell me how do I make a national spirit with which u start like IMRO for bulgaria?
make an idea then add it to them in the country history file
would anyone know how to do this?
Scripted effects
alright thanks bud
I wanna make a mod but dont know how
1st, what kind of mod
like, a focus tree (ex: focus tree for Romania), new country (ex: making ohio a country), a radio mod (ex: the Great War Radio mod), an overhaul (ex: Road to 56), a redesign/remake (ex: Caspian Sea Unlock mod), or a graphical mod (ex: More Division Icons mod)
these are the 'major' types of mods you'll find, once you know what kind of mod then you should watch videos on how to do that think
I can help link you to a few you might need/want

so, is this impossible?
does anybody understand ai template Modding?
You'll need to get the steam version to use mods
But do you have any form of laptop/pc?
You can use Paradox Mods, which is Steam Workshop but inferior in every way
Forgot about that
who tf uses paradox mods
I legit am making my mod ONLY for steam workshop kek
Almost no one uses Paradox Mods
Kek
the covered up are what hoi4 has in base game for "official oceania countries"
has bloody Fiji or Mariana, but not Marshall islands or palau
Wrrf help?
Only vlasov and the tsar remain
Komi blocks one front line for vyatka
Front with vlasov too small to push
thats intentional by the mod almost certainly
Check focus tree?
idk, I just know thats an argument for a puppet level
I have a problem where an idea doesn't show up after I have added it to history.Can someone help
Check error log to see if you used the right syntax
i wanna keep modding, but my brain is hurting
yo anyone know of a hoi2 to dh save file converter
(mainly map conversion but other features too)
modding is way to difficult if only it were simpler
indeed
Modding is only difficult if you aren't trying
Otherwise it just requires plain ol' effort like any other task
or if you try to hard
Yeah, modding is also difficult if you don't know your own limitations
and it's just him in his hitler costume
I wanted to make my own fantacy map and countries
that shouldn't be to hard

yea i just have no idea how to do it i cant find any tutorials
An updated tutorial on how to make a custom hoi4 map. This tutorial is more explained and with the newer version of my tool.

try this
ok
how about if i wanted to make my own countries but make it europe only on the vinnila map?
you wanna use a vanilla map, and just customize everything?
yea me and my freinds wanna make it so we have our own europian nations and we end up fighting or doing a society experement
and then you will just tell me how from there?
hold on
best way would be finding a tutorial online for it
bc it lets you move with visuals
What I would do in that case is make it so states outside of Europe are owned by a third party country with massive debuffs and no cores, to effectively make it wasteland and nothing.
This lesson will explain how to create a new country in Hearts of Iron 4.

Timestamps for this tutorial/lesson:

so that you can make what you want
ok thanks
np
But how will the euope only thing work for later?
just delete the countries i dont want?
effectively
in your mod, if you onle include the countries you want
you can make it so that the land they own is the only land you can "conquer"
np
i'd reccomend making the file blank
and doing it like this
but ofc with the in game ideologies
Basically I'd just overwrite the country tags file and only keep the tags you need
Whats This the names?
Yes, .yml files
countries_l_english.yml
Although I literally have no clue why they are showing this
it's the names for countries
best place to start imo, bc it lets you work the harder part out of making countries
No I don't really think that's the hard part at all
Regardless, naming countries before you made the countries is building a house without a foundation
Or more like decorating a house before it's built
Howso
Functionality goes before aesthetics
i still personally find names harder
what do i put the directory as?
whatever you want
whats it do
so i just the directory as the namea/
what part of the video are you at
it should show you everything you need for making a country

Beta is working for now
someone please explain to me why
the local mod (no thumbnail) are working fine
but when i use the steam workshop version to test if it works
it doesnt work
Has to do with pathing and such. You never subscribe to your own mod
the purpose is so i can use it in MP
cause i know some mods wont change the checksum
It’s exactly the same
dont local mods change the checksum
No
ah
They’re exactly the same
If they change checksum they change checksum regardless of if they are local or not

would it be possible to get the autonomy system from TFV into a mod?
i wanna test sum for my mod
is there a mod that removes britain
im being completely serious
just makes it gone, no island or anything
They call that piracy.
Not really, it's an open source and the legal never specifically states using the DLC content in a mod
The HOI4 source code is not open source
That's still not the source code
I don't think you understand; The game does not run on Paradox Code, it runs on C++ I think
And we don't
we do for the DLC content for the most part
define this further please?
Nothing like autonomy, nothing like traits, nothing like designers
that makes zero sense
because even though TOS states we can't take the DLC trees and remove the lock, nothing stops us from just renaming focuses as well
But I'm not talking about focuses
things like autonomy wouldn't work ofc, ik that
why can't we access things like that
bc, all i see it as
is a way for paradox to swipe more money from peoples pockets
Because then they literally have nothing to release as DLC
but in the DLC, why not give that to us
so the player can edit things like how the autonomy can change things in a mod
and to get autonomy?
you gotta drop 20 bucks (in my currency) to buy the DLC, just so that you can utilize the functions
it's cheaper to subscribe for it to get all DLC, but some DLC imo are a complete waste of the devs times to have made
Um... do you even understand the concept of DLC
downloadable content, you download it to gain the content inside
like WTT
Of course you have to buy the DLC to get the features
you gain the alt paths of china and germany
That's what a DLC is
There would be literally no point to the DLC existing if they just gave the features away
we can just make the same thing, but just "less advanced"
You would need to make TfV a requirement if you wanted to use it unless you can offer an alternative for those who don't own it at the same time
the autonomy should be in base ngl, but gotta roll out DLC to make more money
can't
legit impossible
Wdym?
we'd have to recreate the relations system in a linear scale to compare to it
Yay, you finally understood that Paradox is a company and not your friend
i've known this
money
capitalism
legit a corp in 2 words
So why are you acting like this is a surprise then
i'm not?
i'm more shocked it isn't vanilla w/o dlc
returning to how we'd have to make a TFV-like mod, have you ever seen a file for relations?
like, opinion of a nation
HOW TO FIX THIS SHITTY ERROR?
their relation, whatever tf it is
Yeah, it's not really that complicated
alr, we could work with that
I removed game, remove modes but just like that
Clear cache
at the launcher?
ngl, i actually might be able to work with it and make that for Puppets, ofc i'd have to mess with every single thing possible
I think that would be incredibly janky and awful but go ahead
Hi! Is there a faster way to create strategic regions rather than nudge?
I cleaered Cache, same
L
This error by Nudge's create state, how to fix this
Well, clearing cache should
Maybe clear cache manually
- Open file explorer
- Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
- Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist or you don't care, ignore this step)
- Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
- Put all the moved files and folders back in.
- Launch the game again.
I love you too
Bro that mod is outdated
It does if you're using English

It's a tutorial
I kinda tried it by mistake but it(non English character) showed up in maps. What kind of problems might I encounter
Usually, just breaks thst one thing
Depends on which non-English characters
Most Latin alphabet-based characters work fine
However other scripts do not
It's very inconsistent
Ğğ Şş Çç I used these
But yeah in focus trees it was an character error in country name
Tutorial but you can cancle it
Who can teach me how to code (basics) and if this guy is using notepad++ will syntacs be same on VS?
Hi! Is there a faster way to create strategic regions rather than nudge?
You can do it manually if you find it easier
Actually its way harder because I created a total new map. I should use nudge then
Probably
modding question: that is,
If I have one country have california as a core, but not control it (It wouldn't control any states), can I spawn pockets of control via spawning units of it and having the country declare war on california? If not how can I get a "civil war" or something similar to happen in a nation with only one state
Modding is tedious
it'll work ?
fix indentation
How do you do it? ?
after every opening bracket, you should go to the next line, and start one tab further than the start of the previous line
ok thank you
someone really needs to make a mod where anarchism is its own ideology with individual focus trees which allow for countries to become anarchist
atm the only country that can become anarchist is spain
and its annoying because being non-aligned restricts anarchists alot

then put that new folder into the original localisation folder
he didnt make the folder in the video cause the video is old
yes
I did that
and then put the txt files in the english folder
shit
i hate american spelling too but it has to be a z

go to localization and copy and paste the focus_l
wait i know how to find it
did you download it on your hard drive or an external disk
i found it
then copy and paste the focus_l file into your own mod folder
what file
any file?
scroll down to the f section
copy and paste focus_l_english
ok
into your mod localisation
and then in your cuba focus localisation
copy all of the text
wait
this coms after national focus
no i meant the localisation one
shit wrong one
copy paste into localization - english in you mod
what here
@pale sparrow need a early 20s age Dutch tec nerd
paste the file there
then copy all the content in the cuban_focus_l_english file
and paste it at the bottom of the new file you just pasted
ok
wait a sec
what here
go into the cuban focus
copy everything
go into the new file
paste it at the bottom
bruh
he told me to do it
go bqck to the video
when he says to type something in the cuba file
just type it at the bottom of the new file
I don't know what you're talking about anymore tbh (sorry if im annoying)
so everything he types in cuban_focus bla bla i should type that in english?
but when the video tells you to start typing stuff like CUB_attack_america:0
type it in the new file
yes or nah
focus_l_english?
ok
and when should i delete cuban_focus_l_english
.
keep it
if yi delete it it will remove the localisation for every focus
just type the new stuff at the bottom
damn
so like this?
so focus should spawn now
i have 💀
no like if you get a new one
go back to here
then copy paste the file again
but copy paste the stuff you typed into the new file again
this
yeah it should be
should i rename this
to cuban_focus_l_english
so if i want to make a focus for other country having cuban focus, i should just copy focus_l_english from hoi4 and type there @dense vigil
or everything goes there
you only need one focus_l_english
doesnt work
thats not because of the localisation thats something else
localisation only shows the name and description
ok
but why this shit doesnt work
even if it doesnt work it will still show up it will just be called CUB_cuba_is_the_greatest
or something
its a problem with something else
i dont have time rn you have to ask someone else
ah
ok all good
oh i forgor to put #
thats from the australia focus
Btw i forgot to say tysm
Alright so I need to ask I am working on some Tech tree stuff but the graphics won't load and I have the correct stuff it just won't load unless capitalized letters are not allowed

How do I change the party leader on National Focus?
I tried to change it, but it didn't work, the game started to crash.
Nvm, I fixed it
I am still confused about the pictures and I have double checked spelling and the name of the files and everything
How do I set a new flag for the neutrality party? For example, I want to bring the flag of the Empire of Brazil in case is neutrality.
The flag of Brazil at the beginning of the game is the normal one like the democratic.
do you have something like this set up?
Yes
Need to have another one correct?
Example: BRA_monarchist.tga?
I'm not sure but I doubt it though
and you have all the flags setup the way you want them correct?
Like, I'm doing something on a national focus, which Brazil is a dictatorship, but after the event, it can change to the Empire of Brazil
Changing its flag
I would make a flag and then try and get the focus and see what happens
and just to fully make sure it dosn;t change to facism or communism or anything just a plain monarchy?
Yes
Rename the party name, already done...
Just need to change the flag
hmm and you didn't see anything online about either?
I tried, but something goes wrong
hmmm
honestly I would try making the flag and just letting the game know to switch to that flag
kind of how if a country switches to facism it changes the flag
but don't take my word as fact as I am just only working on my first mod and I am stuck on Tech tree GFX
set_country_flag = BRA_monarchist_flag
I mean if thats what the code look slike for changing to facism or democracy go for it
So I have a leader that I want to become "Older" with different stats and portrait. I added him and checked if files are correct. Yeah he can be country leader but problem is younger version does not expire so older one never takes over. Why?
is it possible to use toopack while in observation mode?
Yes
It's TAG_ideology.tga
If you want to keep on flag for multiple things, that flag loses the ideology and would just be TAG.tga
I cleared document hoi4 file at History, Localisation, Map files, and i maked state file like this, but game doesn't work it

You cant by default in the launcher, but you can by editing the settings file in Documents/Hearts of Iron Iv
No
Well
Unless you use an exploit and convert the txt files to .bat's apparently or something
Idk
Chaos mod. Enough said
What program are you using to code this
what are these
how do i fix this
i have sub 3s and 4s deleted
how can i fix these errors
also have no idea what these are
Conflicting mods?
Does anyone know if Rise of Nations mod is still active? If so where I can find more information on the mod?
notepad ++
Visual Studio Code is better (except the search function)
yes
btw can you make words to be in colors cuz my all words are white
far better...
yes
it cant be in safe mode
stop pinging, I just said it as well
it might also need the standard HOI IV plugins which are easy to find
What should i touch?
actually its settings of the launcher, I suggest googling it
Could you theoretically add a language to your copy of the game that way?
no
:(
When you create a new strategic region using Nudge, other than map/strategicregions folder, is there any file it creates?
Nudge started to crash every creation after like creating 40 ocean strategic regions I suspect there is a leftover file somewhere
If there is nothing else in your documents folder then that's it
It shouldnt
working on my first hoi4 mod is pain it took me 3 hours just to do this
Ggs
ty lol
I've yet to touch focus trees
I'm rn not even anywhere near that, unless I started working on what I've got done now
its pain lol
Ye, I see
only have this much done for mongolia
I've got ✨ names ✨
for?
EU, Asia, NA, CA, SA and 2 Carribean Countries
what are the names if you dont mind me asking
oh alr lol
yuh
starting to work on a political tree for mongolia
i need ideas for the "stay with the soviets" path
there isnt really a "main" path well maybe the facist one where you get to form mongol empire but more
you could do the fascism as the mutual to stay with the sovs
and instead of Politics of Our Nation, call it "Building the Government" or sum
Alright ill do that
rebuild the infsatructrungthmgkhn
nah, thats a different section entirely
ah yes the infsatructrungthmgkhn
without any requirements
ya
hmmm, yes
i plan on adding requirements later in the tree but theres none in the first few parts because of how weak mongolia is
“Hey dad, I want to get into hoi modding-“
lol
yk the german tree where the Navy and Rhineland intertwine?
do y'all ever be just making a skill tree for finland on which you annex the whole world and then turn in to the greater finnish empire
no
bc i haven't touched trees yet for my mod
yes?
do that for infastructure
do you want me to make a "mongolian navy tree"
like, + civ factories but needs to follow communist tree
There needs to be a finni Korean hyperwar mod
then the other one for it is adding military factories, which is exclusive to the communist one
yeah cuz that war happened like 3 years ago
uh
and like
alright ill rearrange the tree
1939 was 3 years ago
also if i add a mongol navy tree mongolia's navy would be looking like this
you don't gotta yet
What no dude the finno Korean hyperwar started in 8000 bc
yeah thats what i said
welp time to work on the military tree because i have an idea for that
Finno Korean hyperwar mod wouldn’t be hard just split Eurasia between Finland and Korea and give both of them reskinned scaled up focus trees
A decision system if you’re feeling spicy
or then give finland all of africa, asia, americas, oceania, the middle east, and europe
then see who wins
bro
lol
you gotta make sure poland can into space
im trying to find the code to give army experience
I think I solved it and this is how (so others can benefit too):
When you create sea regions, if you don't assign what kind of region it is (shallow, deep, fjords) game loads up and after a certain point it starts to crash at every new region creation. Don't forget to assign and then create new sea regions
Wiki
hi
Why game crashes when I try to transfer my units across sea? It happens at every sea region. I built them like this screen shot. Am I missing something?
Multiplayer chaos mod anyone
how can I make a new state? like one that just takes up one province in california, for example. I followed the instructions on the wiki to the letter and still get "There were some errors in the map definition that have been sent to error.log"
The weirdest thing is that there is nothing map related on error.log
Please help
