modding

[soft bramble]

Yeah thats the problem

Oh what is it

[humble cedar]

i think it should be

provinces = {

with spaces

could you send the txt file here?

[soft bramble]

Yeah sure

[humble cedar]

lemme check something .

[true tinsel]

bro I accidently tweaked game files somewhere and Im not sure where so im uninstalling and re-installing

[humble cedar]

w8 im going to download it and try to fix the issue.

[soft bramble]

(I'll change the names, don't care about them)
As you can see I created this map and regions but they just show up. You cannot transfer units via sea

[humble cedar]

is it for every sea region?

that it just crashes

[soft bramble]

Yeah I tried different random sea regions

[humble cedar]

hmm.

[obtuse condor]

custom_modifier_tooltip = SWI_spirit_of_saint_bernard_idea_tooltip. where would this be stored?

[soft bramble]

I spawned units then built ports and frontlined them to go to another island/peninsula every time it crashed

[humble cedar]

im not an expert of anything but maybe removing the
"Naval_terrain=water_deep_ocean would help?

or actually w8

one second don't do that yet.

[true tinsel]

how can I create a new state? I followed the instructions on the wiki and get an error

do I need to not remove the provinces from the original state im cutting part of off?

[soft bramble]

I think when you don't put that game thinks its land

every vanilla sea region had that sentence

[humble cedar]

yeah i see that now

[soft bramble]

Sea is super important in this mod and it doesn't even work. I was planning to create tech tree but now I'm stuck lmao

[true tinsel]

oh my god i did

that

is

the most counter intuitive garbage

[humble cedar]

uhh, i can't really find the issue anywhere.

[true tinsel]

no wait

the state isnt there

[humble cedar]

can you try changing the naval_terrain into this? : water_fjords

and tell me if it crashes when you place units on it?

[soft bramble]

Yeah let me do that

[humble cedar]

and also

before you do that.

[soft bramble]

But I tried both sea and ocean so idk fjords probably won't work

[humble cedar]

could you go into the base hoi4 files and send me 2 specific states?

[soft bramble]

Sure

[humble cedar]

those 2 specific states being :

164-Dodecanese

and 182-Crete

[soft bramble]

KK

[humble cedar]

cause while making my mod i accidentally played with the base hoi4 states instead of my modded states

[true tinsel]

how do I fix this????
I dont want to revert it, I know how to do that

state = {
    id = 909
    name = JS_State
    manpower = 100000
    state_category = large_town
    history = {
        owner = USA
    }
    provinces = { 
    610 
    }
}

This is the code that is causing it

actually, ill try to do it using nudge

[humble cedar]

yeah i was about to tell you that.

[true tinsel]

yeah

...how do I open in debug mode

[humble cedar]

you go on steam

you right-click on Hearts Of Iron IV

you select properties

[true tinsel]

go on

[humble cedar]

and you type

-debug on the "Advanced users may choose to enter modificatiosn to their launch options"

then you press play and you're officialy in debug mode

[true tinsel]

pog

[humble cedar]

and the nudge section is unlocked

[true tinsel]

I should do this with my mod on correct?

[humble cedar]

if you do it will probably crash while generating the map again

[true tinsel]

I removed the code

so it shant

[humble cedar]

well then

[soft bramble]

here your are

and btw fjords didn't work

[humble cedar]

it shouldn't crash

[true tinsel]

coool

[humble cedar]

thanks mate

oof, well then.

I honestly don't know what's wrong.

[true tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/hide-the-pain-harold-harold-smile-fake-gif-21831073

[soft bramble]

thanks anyways. you tried

[true tinsel]

its fiiine

[humble cedar]

ignore that.

[true tinsel]

yeah ik

[soft bramble]

I have like, not a joke, 20 million errors. So thats fine lmao

[true tinsel]

yeah lol

[humble cedar]

maybe you should check the errors log?

when your game crashes

and see what's the issue?

[soft bramble]

They are about mostly desicions and focuses etc

I looked for keyword strategic region and none showed up

I have an idea. I'll try that and comeback here

[humble cedar]

May you have luxk on your mod

If you want help ping me and i'll try my best to help you further

[soft bramble]

Thanks a lot my lord

[true tinsel]

Do I also need to setup strategic regions and supply regions and all that stuff?

or does it do it for me

[valid apex]

likely because you didn't add core to it and local_supplies=0.0

[humble cedar]

When you create a new state you have to asign a new stratigic reason as well

[true tinsel]

ah ok

boo

[true tinsel]

okay hopefully this works

[humble cedar]

so..?

[true tinsel]

it like half worked

the states were all there some of them just werent owned

imma try and fix

[humble cedar]

alright

[true tinsel]

maybe also put some people in them lol

[humble cedar]

im gonna send ya a youtube tutorial

where they explain it better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-HKNRUYF7M&t=1018s

Here you go.

this is going to help you a lot.

[true tinsel]

I just want to be able to have a civil war in california

ill figure it out dont worry

[humble cedar]

yeah that video helps you out how to figure out how to make states.

as well as to how to give them ownership

[true tinsel]

got it working

lol

shoutouts to the one guy in LA

[cold plume]

its drew

[true tinsel]

it is

he killed everyone else drew is all that remains

america will be fine
ignore the fact that I just got rid of 90% of the population of california

available = {
        
            99 ={
                owner = {PYT}
            }
            37 = {
                owner = {PYT}
            }
        }

is there a reason this check doesn't work??? it also breaks everything beneath it

alright im getting the airports and rocketsites setup

[obtuse condor]

any overhaul mod recommendations?
(no TNO or Kaiserredux, i didn't enjoy TNO and i already did a lot in kaiserredux)

[true tinsel]

this should be a working file for a flag right?
so why is it not??

nvm

I forgor flag folder 🤦‍♂️

Backwards flag 😍

its fine

[true tinsel]

hey does anyone know how to check if someone owns a state? I tried above but that didnt work

[obtuse condor]

Could someone tell me how to customize the flags of my country on my mod created on https://hoi4modding.com/ ?

[true tinsel]

ouh

use edge.hoi4modding.com

they have a tool there I think

[obtuse condor]

efhedjfheudjm hjnh bhmnebfhmendsbh nh CRASHES eukhfnefhgdsjkl;

A lot of this

anything I may have misplaced in nudge?

like via the state maker

[mighty wing]

spriteTypes = {
spriteType = {
name = "custom_template_000"
textureFile = "gfx/interface/counters/division_templates_large/BlackRabbitL.dds"
}
spriteType = {
name = "custom_template_000"
textureFile = "gfx/interface/counters/division_templates_small/BlackRabbitS.dds"
}
}

bruh how do i set up this file so i can use it to replace my division counters

[stoic knot]

[obtuse condor]

that might be hard

[burnt vigil]

probably, idk

look at say, USSR

if you do the 3rd russian revolution

iirc, Soviets and Russian Empire have the same tag

SOV tag

[obtuse condor]

On this site : https://edge.hoi4modding.com
I created a mod on an alternate history in France and so I created a focus tree :
But when I test the mod, only the first four focuses appear when there are normally nine...
Could someone please help me?

In https://edge.hoi4modding.com/

In game

[valid apex]

Can you show us the code and the error log?

[true tinsel]

its probably a curlybrace error somewhere

there is no worse feeling than seeing this after you have disabled your mods

fixed it

[true tinsel]

can someone send me the original file for the california state?

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod for trading stuff in your stockpile

[true tinsel]

thanks!

[true tinsel]

idk, but that shouldnt be too hard to make depending on the complexity you are looking for

Trade set amounts with only majors? Give me an hour
Trade any amount with any country? Give me three months and a research team

[obtuse condor]

i dont know how to mod lol i was just wondering if there was, u dont have to make it

[true tinsel]

ah

its cool yeah not sure if there is

but that def the kind of thing that varies wildly

[obtuse condor]

it sounds cool tho

like when i capitulate a country sometimes

i get tech that i dont need

and it would be nice if i could trade it for things i need

[true tinsel]

ouh

yeah if you could convert all tech that would be nice

[obtuse condor]

yeah

[elder saddle]

anyone know how I can move them to the sides like this?

[unkempt iron]

What is the best mode to buy ?

[pale sparrow]

DLC? wait for sale

[ocean prairie]

hey! Is it possible to change the color of a Focus Name shown underneath the Focus Picture? And if yes how?

[true tinsel]

how can I set a game rule for a country? like make it so it can puppet countries

figured it our

*out

kfdgjrlkdj, why are the colors so wierd

is there like a hoi4 color picker

alright ive finished this branch although the leftmost part is shared

hey how do I name ideologies? or at least the parties?

[thin chasm]

localisation/parties_l_[language].yml

[true tinsel]

no like

each country has different ones, how do I change it by country

...let me check the file first

[obtuse condor]

It is there

In the parties yml file

[true tinsel]

okii

[burnt vigil]

wdym by that

like, for countries?

[true tinsel]

yeah the colors are always so wierd

quite the screenshot

[burnt vigil]

can i see the code you're using?

for it

[obtuse condor]

whenever i open Kaiserredux, it gives me normal un-modded game and now kaiserredux

[true tinsel]

graphical_culture = eastern_european_gfx
graphical_culture_2d = eastern_european_2d

#graphical_culture = middle_eastern_gfx
#graphical_culture_2d = middle_eastern_2d

color = {50 5 105}

im trying to get purple this gives me a wierd green

[burnt vigil]

graphical_culture = western_european_gfx
graphical_culture_2d = western_european_2d

color = { 106  119  89 } # { 76  97  121 }

try it like this

this is my file for germany

[true tinsel]

...okay what does that do does that properly rgb it?

[burnt vigil]

ye

you can change the colour, and get rid of the pound sign

[obtuse condor]

Did you also put the RGB code in colors.txt?

[obtuse condor]

like it gives me the base game not kaiserredux

anyone know how to fix it

[lofty plaza]

You don't need to put that there

[obtuse condor]

You absolutely do

[valid apex]

Maybe you forgot to turn on the mod because it either the mod is empty or it corrput

[obtuse condor]

i turned on the mod still nothing

[valid apex]

Turn off other mod if you have them

[obtuse condor]

ill try that

[obtuse condor]

nothing

[valid apex]

Then the game just hate you by this point

[obtuse condor]

yup

idk why

[valid apex]

Redownload it?

[obtuse condor]

did that 3 times

thought 3rd time is the charm

[valid apex]

LoL

[obtuse condor]

kaiserredux just hates me i guess

[valid apex]

Can you screenshoot your mod folder

[obtuse condor]

highlighted part is kaiserredux

annnd just checked their is no kaiserreich .mod text document

[valid apex]

Well that funny

[obtuse condor]

i have main game file but no kaiserredux .mod file

@valid apex is it the problem?

[valid apex]

I bet so

[obtuse condor]

i need someone to send me kaiserredux .mod file then

[valid apex]

Ya

[obtuse condor]

time for wait years till someone gives me kaiserredux.mod file

[valid apex]

Or you could create a new mod file and place kr inner file to the new one

[obtuse condor]

eh i kinda want the official kaiserredux.mod file

ill try that one

Y

[obtuse condor]

update: workings

ty

[burnt vigil]

how do you have the actual mod files, but not the .mod files

[obtuse condor]

idk

[burnt vigil]

goofy

[valid apex]

Funny how there is no the .mod

[vernal hawk]

if there was a hoi4 mod about the usa being like the main country similar to other mods like long live the tsar or pax britannia with russia and uk being the main country what would most likely be the name, and a good one?

[valid apex]

USA:Eagle of Freedom

[lofty plaza]

No, you definitely do not. I do this all the time and I've never needed to do that

I only do it if I want to do a gui which is rarely needed anyway

[burnt vigil]

You shouldn't need to

But some files just have it because it also does HEX iirc

[soft bramble]

You guys know a tool for bulk converting flags? I have 50 countries,, each 7 ideologies, so please help

[valid apex]

There is this site call hoi4modding not the one edge have it i think

[soft bramble]

Yes I have been using it but it doesnt't create like "bulk" You have to redo some steps for each ideology. I mean, I want much maybe but, I want to locate the main flag file and program will rename all at once kind of thing

copying and renaming is the main problem

[valid apex]

Maybe find it on reddit

Or just maybe create idealogy on new site

Then go to country they should have those ideology in place

It dumd but it WORK

[ocean warren]

Any road to 56 devs???

[pale sparrow]

[ocean warren]

Yo so there is a glitch where if a civil war happens it crashes the game

So I can’t do half of the fun

No other mods are there

Everything is updated

PC runs fine with other civil wars in other mods/vanilla

[pale sparrow]

dont use conflicting mods

[ocean warren]

Wdym

I only use r56

No other mods were enabled

[pale sparrow]

whats your DLC list and is it a specific country

[ocean warren]

Nope I have had it in multiple countries and I have all dlcs

[pale sparrow]

troubleshoot the game, not the mods fault

[ocean warren]

I did

[pale sparrow]

otherwise we would have way more reports of this

[ocean warren]

Idk I could reinstall r56

[pale sparrow]

👍

[ocean warren]

I’ll let you know

[pale sparrow]

you dont have to as it cant be the mod, as it would be reported a lot

[echo nebula]

Tru I played R56 did a Civil War in Hungary nothing happend exept the Party i was supporting lost

[supple rain]

is there any mod that gives infinite Peace conference points? Player Led doesnt work while liberating and i really need that

[edgy flame]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2921500584

[pale sparrow]

You can try this
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793024173

It also makes stuff cheaper instead of increasing points as the latter is impossible to do conditionally

[vernal hawk]

help im quite now to modding and i try to open a file with notepad++, but it always brings me to the install screen instead

[obtuse condor]

How's this look so far?

[burnt vigil]

how are you getting that shape for the focus' text box?

bc i don't look vanilla

[slender brook]

That is edge.com

HOI4 focus tree designer

[burnt vigil]

ah

thx

sum ion ever gonna use, because i'll probably croak before i get that far into mod making

[slender brook]

A focus tree? That’s kinda knee deep HOI4 modding

[burnt vigil]

Exactly

I've taken a whole month, and I haven't even finished naming countries, let alone getting to making parties

[slender brook]

I mean sounds to me like you have the wrong priorities

[burnt vigil]

I mean, I can test my mod without a focus tree

[slender brook]

Right but a focus tree is a massive part of the gameplay

[burnt vigil]

Because it'll run generic for countries without custom onrs

[burnt vigil]

I need the parties and countries all done first so I can do half of the focus trees

[slender brook]

No you need the parties and countries done for the countries that should get focus trees first

[burnt vigil]

Germany, first focus for one of 2 mutual branches is severing ties with Austria-Hungary

As well as italy

The other gives an event to thr "Central Powers" and "Tripple Entente" about an Arms race, with a timed decision to get certain amounts of stuff to "win" the arms race

The only stuff I could do would be industry/economy, navy, and army

[glad adder]

My leader's portrait shows up in game but not in the pre-game map where you select minors (the leader name still shows up though)

Do I need a small version of the portrait for that?

[sharp laurel]

How do I change Peace conference to allow me to select the Sahara Desert as I did before version 1.12?

[onyx knoll]

i dont know if the game allows you to do that

if you select the regions around sahara desert, i think that sahara desert will become a land owned by you

[daring current]

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to figure out why won't your flags work and then you realize you named the folder "flag" and not "flags"

Anyway I'ma go find a better flag of my custom country

[obtuse condor]

working on a big project

does anyone recognise what mod this is???

china is united and tibet is gone

[valid apex]

I think it thier finest bruh

[oblique garnet]

is there a mod that speeds up the game? like 100x building and research and factory outputs and such

[vivid peak]

You can try this out (btw mod is designed for multiplayer campaings) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936018197

[lofty plaza]

A good one takes years to master

[lofty plaza]

Who is this supposed to be for

[obtuse condor]

People’s Pacific Republic

Why?

[lofty plaza]

Ah, so a fictional country

[obtuse condor]

Yes.

It’s unfinished. There’s still some refinement I wanna do

As well as design sprites still

[lofty plaza]

You may want to actually put it in the game before that

Focus tree makers are not reliable in the long term

I suppose their a decent starting point but should definitely leave them behind at some point

[obtuse condor]

Alright, thanks!

[rigid niche]

how does one roll back to a previous version of the game? trying to play north america divided

[obtuse condor]

steam->propeties->beta-> select beta (example : 1.11.3 Barbarossa Old)

and then let the "update" download and install

[rigid niche]

thank you

[obtuse condor]

no Problem,you're Welcome

[lofty plaza]

@obtuse condor I take it you just solved your problem

[obtuse condor]

oh no,i thouth i need to put it in another chanel

😅

do you now anything about Navy OOB? and what i could had done wrong in my mod?

[lofty plaza]

Send it again and I'll see what I can do

[lofty plaza]

And you have MtG right?

[obtuse condor]

yes

[lofty plaza]

The history file seems to be incorrectly named, dunno if that effects it though

[obtuse condor]

nope,that wasn't a problem before

souly the OOB or the Navy Equipment/tec is the problem

[lofty plaza]

Anything in the error log?

[obtuse condor]

ill look again if i had missed anything

1min

Battleships, Battle Force ( ICE ) unit in 12674 has locked equipment requirements: ship_hull_cruiser

[lofty plaza]

Yeah I just noticed that, it's trying to make a ship when it doesn't have the technology

[obtuse condor]

oh,okay 🤔

i dint find the tec thing for ship_hull_cruiser

or is there a way that i can only use Early Destroyer hull and the first naval gun?

[lofty plaza]

That would be early_ship_hull_cruiser = 1

[obtuse condor]

and engine

[lofty plaza]

Try this

[obtuse condor]

okay,i am testing it

why is this there? is this oil?

oh,its still crashing

[lofty plaza]

Send a bigger screenshot

[obtuse condor]

oh wait

[lofty plaza]

Looks like the port itself is bugged, did you add a state or province there?

[obtuse condor]

bruh,i still have the old history file in there

[obtuse condor]

yes,its the normal province with a port

[lofty plaza]

So you did

[obtuse condor]

no,i shrink it. the port iself i in the old province

[lofty plaza]

So you edited the province shape, correct?

[obtuse condor]

yes

and did that unit thing,i forgot the name

plus building and the normal stuff

[lofty plaza]

Right so what I think your issue is that you have relocated your buildings so the port is bugged

[obtuse condor]

hmm could be,but how could i fix it

common/decisions/ice_fortification_pogramm.txt:613: any_neighbor_state: Invalid Scope, supported: State, provided: Country or its that

[lofty plaza]

Go to nudger, buildings, and random in state

Copy the file from documents into your mod

[lofty plaza]

No

[obtuse condor]

okay,will do it

yes,thank you

uh am i right that i need ROOT or smt to convert an Country Scope to a State Scope?

[lofty plaza]

Wdym?

[obtuse condor]

common/decisions/ice_fortification_pogramm.txt:443: any_neighbor_state: Invalid Scope, supported: State, provided: Country

is an any_neighbouring_state that checks an state flag

[lofty plaza]

Send your code

[lofty plaza]

Your poor indentation makes it quite difficult to understand what's going on ngl

But what line am I looking for

[obtuse condor]

oh bruh i see

the state cope closes to soon,my bad

[lofty plaza]

With proper indentation that would be much easier to spot

[obtuse condor]

yea,thanks for the tipp

[tidal ivy]

[obtuse condor]

So proper

[true trellis]

wanna help make papers please mod

[lapis flame]

no thanks, i dont know how to mod in the first place

[true trellis]

alright.

[burnt vigil]

I'd help

But at the same time, I can't make maps

I can do everything else

[true trellis]

im learning maps

[burnt vigil]

W

[true trellis]

not really anything else good at lol

[burnt vigil]

HMU when you make the map, I'll have the countries already done

[true trellis]

pov internet so bad delay to deliver a message

its 3 am

Woooooooo

oh kk u work on generals and countries

but uhhh

can you survive assigning 100 states to 1 country

or 1000

depends

[burnt vigil]

XD

[true trellis]

also

[burnt vigil]

Why so big

[true trellis]

cause its a world map

but papers please

[burnt vigil]

This is the (unofficial) cannon map of papers please

[true trellis]

i have a good one that matches on both sides left to right

just uploading

WHY IT TAKIN SO LONG

finally

map revamp

[burnt vigil]

Lol

[true trellis]

its not hard

u just need to know what ur doing

[burnt vigil]

It's just eastern europe tho, so it doesn't need to be so it should need to be so big

But your choice

[true trellis]

ive been suggested to start learning with amking new states

so

ITs gonna be A LONG learning curve for me for map

u can make focus tree while i learn

k?

its 3 am so

im gonna sleep in 3 hours

[burnt vigil]

I can make it all within a week

[true trellis]

so ye

[burnt vigil]

Start with the map

[true trellis]

BIG focus tree

and uhh

[burnt vigil]

Then use nudge tool

[true trellis]

can u make a new function

LIKE completely new

[burnt vigil]

Hm?

Wyats the function

[true trellis]

a border tension tool

like arstotzka and Kolechia

and republia and 1 other country

[burnt vigil]

What's the idea behind it

[true trellis]

antegria

so every few days theres gonna be a specific window for it but you can open a panel and There would be tensions and Border bombings and Etc

Shootings

and Ezic

[burnt vigil]

Oh, I can do sum like that

You ever play the OWB mod as NCR?

[true trellis]

idk if this one will be a hard one but a full UI revamp I can design it if you want

a papersplease theme

[burnt vigil]

The music is easy

[true trellis]

de saturated colours

[true trellis]

ye

ik that

i can do that if I Wanted but u can

no offense

[burnt vigil]

I can make that function wanted had, but idk how to make a whole tab for it, what I could do is in the decisions tab, have a menu for each border where for exampme you can let in certain people, and depending on the size of the region you're restring, you lose more things, like relation, population gain, trade income, etc

[true trellis]

if I offended

[burnt vigil]

I can see about the full menu for it, but idk

[true trellis]

like the Stalin paranoia If It gets to high the border turns into a conflict then war

[burnt vigil]

Border conflicts are base

The 2 countries fight it out on that border for 1 province only

The winner gains the opposing sides province on that border

[true trellis]

ik but papers please border check

border bombings

increase tensions between countries

[burnt vigil]

Also, for the map, make it so the border provinces are smaller than internal

So we can make it impassible between most borders for the "border entry" to make sense

[true trellis]

im still learning so this could take a month or 2

but

I Learnt that were in open waters free territory UNtouched waters

so

yeah

well

1 mod did it

but its not up to date

and it kinda sucks

[true trellis]

whats time for u

[burnt vigil]

~830

pm

[fringe surge]

Quick question why won’t MapGen v2.2 work

I’m doing the instructions

But it won’t open

[valid apex]

you mean like 2 focus connect to a focus but only one to make the other work?

prerequisite = { focus = focus_id_1 focus = focus_id_2 }

[twilit hatch]

I coded event file at load_oob, but load_oob code is not working

What's problem?

Nothing at Error log

[slender brook]

Those are not the same file name

[twilit hatch]

But SOV_DEAD_legacy file is in the mod file

umm if load_oob text is in the hidden_effect, that's wrong?

[slender brook]

Not sure, I don't really mess with oob much

[shy ore]

Can someone tell me why these names doesn't apply in game

[twilit hatch]

hmm

alright

[twilit hatch]

Try this

Example:
BUL_Artillery_2:0 "Example"

[slender brook]

Did you make the .yml file have UTF-8 with BOM

[twilit hatch]

Faking last plan

Cmon..

[shy ore]

no...

[twilit hatch]

wow

that's problem

[slender brook]

You can't do that in Notepad++, so I'd recommend either using Visual Studio Code or copying a vanilla file into your mod, changing the name, then adding your content into it

[twilit hatch]

FINALLY

HOI4 Modding is like sht

[soft bramble]

Idk why but just one country, this one, doesn't set its politics right. I used copy pasted code so I know code is alright. What could be the problem

[valid apex]

It might be because you missing } somewhere

[soft bramble]

Not many } we have in the file. It seemed normal to me @valid apex

[valid apex]

Have you save them and test again bc the code is right for now

Also did you turn on debug mode

[soft bramble]

yeah I changed it this and there but game insist to give me this. nomad is communism's renamed version but as you can see I did not gave them any @valid apex

no matter what I give at the code file, this is the result

[soft bramble]

yeah of course

[soft bramble]

I used this as a last measure and it worked

yet I haven't used bookmark at any other country

strange

at least it worked

lol

[valid apex]

Lol

Still it werid it should work with out the date

[soft bramble]

Yeah I don't understand that too

[obtuse condor]

how to fix this

@cursive yacht

@pale sparrow

[cursive yacht]

What's the problem?

[cursive yacht]

Try taking save game and restart game then launch from save game

[torpid orbit]

how does more than 1 person edit the same mod

[obtuse condor]

there multiple ways for something like that,i suggest Github for that.

[torpid orbit]

thanks

[dull lynx]

It’s a bug

[obtuse condor]

No i add extra advisor slot then this happened

[dull lynx]

Yes

[obtuse condor]

So what should i do

[dull lynx]

I’m not fully sure but check for any rouge code

That might do that

[chilly field]

hi where would my other languages be?

specifically english

[obtuse condor]

Edit the GUI then

[obtuse condor]

So its something about my pc

No not your PC

[soft bramble]

You know why my national spirits have no modifiers

[oblique garnet]

stolen pc

[torpid orbit]

how do i move germany's troops at 1936 start, i have changed their province spawn locations in the GER_1936 file, yet they remain in the same area

[elder saddle]

how to do paragraph breakups inisde descriptions?

[soft bramble]

Do you know how to change a modifier's (example: communism_drift) localization? I changed its name but it appears to be stay communism in modifier parts.

[hot glade]

korean...

[pale sparrow]

\n

[humble cedar]

so uhhh, how to i make the land dissapear there?

[lofty plaza]

In the English folder

[thin chasm]

Decided to try flipping the map horizontally in the game files, see what would happen

The fact that I had to spoiler the result should speak volumes enough as it is

But can anybody say what's going wrong here, aside from the idea from a conceptual standpoint?

This'll be really funny if I can get it to work

[humble cedar]

i think ya have to do smth with the terrain map

Im tryna figure out my own thingy as well, tryna make the zara state actually realistic

like, try flipping it or smth i dunno

[zinc stream]

Hey everyone, I need help - so my mod works even in multiplayer, my friends can connect and play together however I can't with them. I've done everything I can, their checksums are the same, mine isn't. I'm out of ideas.

[humble cedar]

have you done any updates on your mod without updating it?

or as well have checked if you have any mods which are needed for everyone to have?

[zinc stream]

No the mod is updated to the same speed as mine.

[zinc stream]

No other mods are needed to play together when using mine.

[humble cedar]

hmmm.

what's your mod about?

[thin chasm]

Did you subscribe to the mod on steam / paradoxplaza, or are you only using your own source version in your document folder?

[zinc stream]

Just an alternate map, f--- round and find out type stuff. It's my first mod.

[thin chasm]

I don't know if that would affect things, but I want to believe it would

[zinc stream]

Subscribed one on steam.

I don't use my hardwire files cause I wanna be able to be up-to-speed and on the same road way as everyone else who uses it

Clearly that's not even possible

[humble cedar]

Meanwhile.

Im still tryna fix Zara province.

how do i take rid of the terrain outside of the province/state ?

[burnt vigil]

i need to learn

how to make

custom maps

DAMNIT

[fresh charm]

Same

[burnt vigil]

Lmao

Idfk how to

Bc I gotta make a massive map for a mod I'm working on

[wide trail]

hey, so the plane designer isnt showing up for some planes on a mod ive been working on, any idea how to fix that?

[warm panther]

If you have your mod in the mod folder and are subscribed to it on steam, that might be why, I suggest moving the one in the mod folder out of it and to somewhere else and see what happens if you then

[limpid hare]

did I do it correctly?

[burnt vigil]

think so lol

the brackets look in order

[limpid hare]

[burnt vigil]

all text is coloured correct, = signs look right

i say try it out

[limpid hare]

after i'm done with every trait for field marshal/officer/admiral

I still have to try add mark trait

[burnt vigil]

[limpid hare]

I sure love modding

[burnt vigil]

Fr

I got a smol group of people and I making an AL mod, and we not really sure for a Vichy Flag for it

[limpid hare]

what about this?

[burnt vigil]

dunno

it looks right

but i've never made people before, i never needed to

[chilly field]

There is no England folder tho just Polish

[slender brook]

Why is there a closing bracket after mark trait

[limpid hare]

I'm just new to this honestly since I try to find a mod that will let you freely choose what trait to add for specific commander but so far there none so I try to do it myself but I already edit the code multiple time and it didn't work

i'm no modder and idk who I can ask to help me with this either

[slender brook]

Alright that’s fine, just don’t think there is meant to be a bracket there

[limpid hare]

the original mod that I try to edit it just randomly select all the available commander and I don't want that lol

I guess I just gonna give up since idk how to make it work

[burnt vigil]

Lol, dw you'll get it eventually

@slender brook can I just keep the name without an ideology and not have to put ideologies in?

Asking you because you're smart

[slender brook]

Yes

If you have no ideology for the localization, it all defaults to it

Unless I misunderstand your question

[burnt vigil]

nah, it's correct

thx

bc im making an english Azur Lane mod

so i needed to make the factions ;-;

[slender brook]

Interesting

[burnt vigil]

yuh

the japanese one, is confusing to say the least

[thin oyster]

This code is supposed to check if the states that are a core of Belarus are demilitarised, and if they are, transfer them to Belarus, but it doesn't work.
anyone know what's going wrong?

[burnt vigil]

is BLR the belarus tag?

[thin oyster]

yes

[limpid hare]

I manage to get it to work but for some reason other decision is not visible except organizer

other option like cavalry_leader, panzer_leader should be visible but it not for some reason

[thin oyster]

could i see the full decision code?

also I don't think "is_ai" should be inside "hidden_effect," just "visible"

[limpid hare]

I just change some line

idk if it better or not

[thin oyster]

i think "every_army_leader" should have a closing bracket

[limpid hare]

I can send you a file in dm if you want

[thin oyster]

you don't need to do that

"add_organizer" is the name of the decision?

[limpid hare]

yes

[thin oyster]

k

[thin oyster]

try give this a closing bracket

[limpid hare]

} this?

[thin oyster]

yes

[limpid hare]

instead of {

[thin oyster]

no

i mean
every_army_leader = {
....
}

there is no closing bracket in the code you have

[limpid hare]

like this?

[thin oyster]

yes i think that should work

[limpid hare]

hm

I will try add close bracket in every decision

[thin oyster]

there needs to be an equal amount of close brackets to close brackets

[limpid hare]

oki

I will try it now

will let you know if it work or not

[thin oyster]

aight

[limpid hare]

nope still only add organizer decision appear

[pale sparrow]

Brackets look correct

So ig its either the category or the allowed

[slender brook]

Although the brackets thing could be the one before it

[pale sparrow]

You can usually see in the error log where the problem starts for brackets, or the specific problem maybe even

[burnt vigil]

i did not miss giving custom tags states

it should give brandenburg straight to the Iron Bloods

but nah

censor hitler, and remove names works ig

nevermind, it seems to work now

but it lags the frick out

how can i script a border war that the attacker always wins

Yeah I fixed it, thanks

yeap it is a small fix! you did 95% correctly.

[thin oyster]

Thank you!

[ocean prairie]

Is it somehow possible to create internal variables inside of text files of the hoi4 files? like for example the color of a country? And if yes how would this be possible.

[honest eagle]

Yeah

[honest eagle]

I would recommend watching the iron workshop on how to change colors

Just make sure to NOT. EDIT. THE. ACTUAL. GAME. FILES. ONLY THR MOD FILES

[sharp valve]

what does the define "EXPERIENCE_COMBAT_FACTOR" do

is it just the factor for xp from battles

maybe the factor units get from green - veteran?

[empty sail]

where is Winston Churchill's name in nsb_characters_l_english.yml?

or is it in a different file

[soft bramble]

Do you know why my national spirits are missing after a little gameplay?

[honest eagle]

Probably different file

[honest eagle]

Any mods enabled

[honest eagle]

I think it’s experience in combat

No clue though, try googling it

The hoi4 modding wiki should have it

[gentle sky]

okay, so im a mega noob here. i have a lot of play time on HOI4 but ive only started putting my foot into modding, is there anyway to like actually see what im doing like visually when im doing stuff such as this

[obtuse condor]

In real time? No

[pale sparrow]

thats one of few things that only load on game start

but you can go back to the main menu and then back into a new save

[gentle sky]

ahhh thats really unfortuinate

i mean i get why but

im retarded and i need to see it xD

[valid apex]

I can suggest visual studio code

[pale sparrow]

also you need debug mode enabled for some stuff to reload mid-game

[soft bramble]

I'm modding myself actually

and I see now that every country has lost its national spirits, both ones that started with and gained via focus

I don't understand why

[honest eagle]

What?

What did you change?

[soft bramble]

Its a total conversion mode so I change a little this a little there. But I mainly added not deleted anything

[obtuse condor]

111

[lavish basin]

I'm stuck on what determines the order for what modifiers show up in the tooltip. at some point I thought it was dependant of the order of the localization keys.
But after checking this tooltip it doesn't seem to be the case. Is it just hardcoded? Or is there some other thing that determines the order?

[obtuse condor]

do you guys know any mods that are like this mod or at least similiar

[true tinsel]

I did this on accident I don't know what I did

I also accidently made every state a colony state

[kind spindle]

my state transfer tools gui dissapeared

[sharp valve]

they don't explain it

[honest eagle]

Really?

[sharp valve]

yeah I get it though

it changes the land modifier here

there I updated it

[honest eagle]

Nice

[paper breach]

i tried to import the CW;IC flag overlay to the base game and this is how it turned out, i went onto skymods and downloaded the zip file, and took the flag_overlay DDS file and flag_overlay_small DDS file into the base game files, can anyone help me find out how to fix this?

my only solution is import the entire CWI:C ui to the base game but i've never done that before so idk how hard it is

nonetheless keeping it updated and fixing bugs

[obtuse condor]

anyone know where game stored CHI_hyper_inflation_level_up?

[bronze otter]

how do i start modding?

[pale sparrow]

Come up with an idea

just guessing try to make it easy and viable, then you got motivation to learn

[bronze otter]

ok

i have been following a tutorial series and i am on the create a country bit

i have created a mod with nothing on it

do i have to make a new mod for the countries?

@pale sparrow

[pale sparrow]

wdym

[bronze otter]

like the tutorial series i have been following said to create a mod file

so i did

then in the country episode it is saying to create a new file

im thinking like the countries wouldn't carry over

should i not create this new file

or create it

like what do i do

@pale sparrow

[bronze otter]

can anyone help? pls

[pale sparrow]

youre a bit vague

[bronze otter]

sorry

also ive encountered a new problem

every mod file i have is registered as a video

[pale sparrow]

windows sais its a video file?

just change the default software to visual studio code

[bronze otter]

how do id do that

[pale sparrow]

right click the file->open with->check "use as default"->select VSC

[bronze otter]

ok

i cant do that

i havent got it installed 💀

[empty sail]

where is the localization file for Winston Churchill in English

[bronze otter]

confusing

[valid apex]

Isnt it in Eng_l_english

[empty sail]

there is no eng_l_english

all of the names are supposed to be in nsb_characters_l_english.yml

[valid apex]

Then there is another character file

There should be

Or search his tag

[empty sail]

this is his tag: ENG_winston_churchill
nothing comes up

[slender brook]

It's in ideas

[empty sail]

Ok

I will check

I found it

Thank you

[slate latch]

does anyone know if there is a 1.12.10 compatible version of great war redux

[lofty plaza]

Does it work for 1.12?

[slate latch]

idk

my paradox launcher is getting that red icon

this is the latest version

i believe

is there a more recent one?

[lofty plaza]

I'm not sure about on the Paradox launcher

[slate latch]

ima cry

but at the same time, im working on making countries work

slowly

[obtuse condor]

im making custom units for my mod and ive currently landed on this. what do yall think blance wise? their meant to be small but still a force strong enough for minor conflicts without draining too much manpower but i got worse balancing then that one charcter if every other movie that drops a food item

[pale sparrow]

Maybe do show normal infantry next to it?

[obtuse condor]

cant rn. i broke it when moddifying it

for some reason hoi4 didnt like it when i added max speed to em so i tried to fix it but now hoi4 wont render any of its stats in the menu

[pale sparrow]

10:1 manpower:equipment to 1:1 on yours seems silly

Thats like the only stat of normal infantry I remember

[obtuse condor]

ah

forgot about that

thanka

hows this? my modded forces on left the base game on the right

[obtuse condor]

idk how to alter the deffense tho

[pine patrol]

is there a mod that removes the "permanently locked if going to war with major" modifier for the ussr five year plan focuses

because doing focus.nochecks also effects Aİ

[pale sparrow]

You pause and also use focus.autocomplete to complete the focus without affecting AI because you disable it immediately after

[pine patrol]

well ok yes it sounds weird but that feels sort of like cheating

(as opposed to doing focuses without that perma block thingy)

[obtuse condor]

hii

i got hoi4

and

i do not regret

best paradox ga,me

[obtuse condor]

Hoi4-Do whatever u want

[obtuse condor]
