you might have mistyped 818 for 918 or 918 to 818 in one of your lines of code, and to add cores might not be properly formatted

[humble cedar]

Im 50% sure i haven't made any mistypes, I can send you the code for my decisions in DM's if you want to take a look at it.

I don't know if i should start over again and try to fix it or sit here for 5 hours until i fix it

Yo, can anyone help me, I have a problem with turning on a mod. I created a mod changing the date and the look of some countries in the game, I made the mod with the help of HOI4 Modding website, but when I launch the game after placing the mod in the right file and putting the right playset on the launcher, the mod doesn't launch... Has anyone of you already encountered this problem?

[grim onyx]

A sweden mod please, also a Greek one too.

[sacred stone]

still need help with this btw

[slender brook]

That's not how files work

You should probably enable file extensions

At the top, click on view, then go to show/hide and click on file name extensions

The confusion here is because certain files, in this case .tga, get opened in a certain programme. On Windows, this replaces the file icon with the programme icon to indicate what the file opens with

[sacred stone]

ok now they're all .tga's

i still do need to download gimp tho, yes?

[slender brook]

Yes

After downloading GIMP, you would want to right click on one of these .tga files, click open with, click choose another, click on GIMP, then click Always

[tawdry mauve]

#historical-multiplayer message @gilded flume

[slender brook]

This will set it so .tga files always open with GIMP

[sacred stone]

okay GIMP is installing rn

what about the ugc files in my mod folder though, are those from my subscribed mods?

[slender brook]

Yes

You can safely ignore them

Deleting them will make it so those subscribed mods stop working

either your mods are outdated or your files are corrupted

oh okay sorry

then #tech-support

nope

[stark citrus]

but yeah did you or nah?

go to the lobby settings and check it

may just be set to the default i suppose

[marble finch]

theres no default button anymore

[stark citrus]

there should be settings to change the tree between rt56 ver and default correct?

[marble finch]

yeah, theres only rt56 and normal

[stark citrus]

yes i thought the issue was that it was stuck on the default?

[stark citrus]

even when you set it to the rt56 its still jsut default?

[marble finch]

yes, the vanilla focus tree

and if i put it on standart its the vanilla focus for nations without an own focus tree

[stark citrus]

ah i see now what you mean

yeah

i also tried literally all of the versions

do you have all dlc?

[burnt vigil]

portraits can just be Name.dds or do they need like Portrait_TAG_Name.dds

[red dagger]

Common folder

And then countries (?)

[quick latch]

Portraits can have any name you want them to have, you should also be able to call the name variable for the portrait anything you want.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you don't misspell anything I guess.
for example:

spriteTypes = {
    spriteType = {
        name = yourPortraitHere
        texturefile = gfx/leaders/.../yourNameHere.dds
    }
}

create_country_leader = {
    name = "FirstName LastName"
    desc = "POLITICS_FIRSTNAME_LASTNAME_DESC"
    picture = yourPortraitHere
    expire = "XXXX.XX.XX"
    ideology = XXX
    traits = {
    }
}

Though normally they'd be called something like name = GFX_portrait_FirstName_LastName and texturefile = gfx/leaders/CountryTag/Portrait_COUNTRYTAG_FirstName_LastName.dds

Could someone make a mod of this nation I made known as the Grand Union of Germany which takes place during World War II after a group knows the blue iron cross repels against the Reich

[main merlin]

And their ideology is nationalism

[slender brook]

Ideology: Nationalism tells us almost nothing about their actual ideological beliefs

Nationalism is an incredibly broad and wide political concept that is invoked by many differing and often opposing ideologies

Vietnam was Communist yet also Nationalist, but simultaneously Germany was Nationalist yet Monarchist. Nationalism literally says nothing about what the country is actually like

[slender brook]

We're in #modding what did you expect

[thin chasm]

    receiver = ENG
    state = 291
}

give_resource_rights = {
    receiver = ENG
    state = 676
}```

If you place this code inside \history\countries\IRQ - Iraq.txt (replacing the country file and the state ID for whatever it is you're adding), you can create resource rights from game start

It won't appear in the country menu of the receiving country, but that's an issue only Paradox can solve

It still works though

You can make a new state to simulate the northern portion of Holstein-Schwelsig being ceded to Denmark, but that's about it

[burnt vigil]

ye

Nord Holstein-Schwelsig it is ig

and I've got no idea what i should do with it

apparently

Rhineland (the state) should demiliterize if you start in 1936.3.7

setting Moselland to militzerised remiliterizes the Rhine

Hello i want to make a translation mod i created the mod and translated some word and tried to test it to be sure that is working but it's not could someone help me?

[quick latch]

Check if your translation file is encoded as "UTF-8 with BOM"

[gaunt igloo]

Could you show me example please?

[quick latch]

What's your text / code editor you use to edit your localization file?

[gaunt igloo]

Notepad+++

[quick latch]

oh, I only use Windows' text editor and Visual Studio Code, uhh
Open the file with windows' text editor, go to "view" and then "status bar"

Doing that will show you this bar at the bottom

Now open your localization file and look at the bottom-right, in the corner you should see this
If you don't, then press "file" -> "save as" -> change encoding from "UTF-8" to "UTF-8 with BOM" -> "save" -> override old file

[gaunt igloo]

Okay i will try it when i am back then i will tell you if it's works thank you a lot

[gaunt igloo]

Also muss ich nur Notepad eröffnen? oder mit andere editor?

[quick latch]

mf do be speaking German, do it with Notepad like I did to show you

[gaunt igloo]

You are not german?

[quick latch]

I am

[gaunt igloo]

Yeah i did still not working

[quick latch]

Your folder structure to the localization file is yourModNameHere\localisation and your file is titled something like XXX_l_english.yml, right?

[gaunt igloo]

i copy the english folders from localization file and pasted them in my mod file

then i started translating

[quick latch]

So you have yourModNameHere\localisation\english\yourFileHere_l_english.yml?

[gaunt igloo]

\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\ArabicLanguage\xxx_i_english.yml

[quick latch]

I see the issue

or do I?

lemme think

It should look like this: ...\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\ArabicLanguage\localisation\xxx_i_english.yml

[gaunt igloo]

so i should create new folder?

[quick latch]

also "xxx_i_english" should be "xxx_l_english", it's not an "i" it's an "l"

[quick latch]

yeah

[gaunt igloo]

i don't need to change english to l_arabic?

[quick latch]

You want to create a new language or what?

[gaunt igloo]

yes

[quick latch]

oh, don't know how to do that sry
I don't know if that's even possible

[gaunt igloo]

okay thank you for help

[thin chasm]

I don't believe you can just create a new localisation folder and rename every folder from l_english to l_arabic

The HOI4 launcher has its own list of accepted languages, and you can't really change that

So the best thing to do would be to just translate all the l_english texts directly in those files, replacing the English translation

[gaunt igloo]

from main files?

[thin chasm]

Well, preferably you create a mod for it

(Launcher → Installed mods → Upload mod (top right) → Create mod)

[gaunt igloo]

I translated some words from main files and entered the game but it looks like ????????

is there any way to make the game support the language?

[thin chasm]

That's the other problem, I don't think HOI4 has native arabic-language font support

So you'd have to mod that in as well, and I don't know much about font modding

Plus the text would need to be changed to a right-to-left style, and I don't know if that's possible with a mod

[gaunt igloo]

Oh my god ithat is a lot

that makes everyone but a few countries get X amount of opinion

bc i wanna make a mod to make hoi4 more historical, meaning I eventually gotta add the Holocaust

and i wanna make it so countries all gain -40 opinion of germany, but italy and ussr -20

as well as make so many different ideologies, like prodestant/christian Monarchy, different religions for ideologies, ect

[quick latch]

something like

every_country = {
    limit = {
        NOT = {
            tag = GER
            tag = ITA
            tag = JAP #and so one, alternatively you could do:

            has_government = fascism
        }
    }

    add_opinion_modifier = {
        target = GER
        modifier = yourCustomModifier
    }
}

yourCustomModifier being a modifier like seen in steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\common\modifiers\00_static_modifiers.txt, for example:

opinion_modifiers = {
    GER_commited_holocaust = { value = -50 }

Hey! Many thanks that's almost it) ... All there's left to do is to mix it with random country placement for equal start i guess >_> . Just

Dunno why RT56 adding techs with tanks-planes without any models update while theres so many of them in other mods. Had to do that manually with few tanks for my nation last time =\

[inner lava]

Smone knows mods that got custom map but without fantasy & crazy stuff... Like equeteria with ponies & warcraft ones -__- seem to be popular =\

You know that 'X is justifying against you'

[digital stag]

when making a new country and giving it a color in the colors.txt file my world looks like this what do i do

[quick latch]

I see

thank you

[burnt vigil]

Starts a war

Like appose hirler

Causes a civil war

[quick latch]

Had this issue too but the fix easy, in your mod's "countries" folder (yourModHere\common\countries) create a new file titled something like "yourModName_colors".
It's important that you create a new file because copying the "colors.txt" file and editing it will override the existing colors.
In your new file you can add your country and color.

[quick latch]

mf shit posting smh

[digital stag]

i will try it thank you!

[burnt vigil]

Watch this, just watch out that you create custom files for yourModName\common\country_tags (ex: "yourModName_countries.txt"), yourModName\common\countries (colors file, ex: "yourModName_colors.txt") and of course yourModName\localisation (ex: "yourModName_l_english.yml")
Note: The localization file has to be an "L" (small caps) and not "I"

[digital stag]

alright thank you so much

[quick latch]

I could explain it to you in detail but only in about ~1-1,5 hours

[digital stag]

ill just let you know if it worked it still looks the same for some reason i give up

[quick latch]

damn

[quick latch]

Your current problem is that Liberia is weird but your country itself works, right?

[digital stag]

i dont think it does i tried to give it a core on liberia but it doesnt appear

[quick latch]

How did you try to add a core to Liberia? Through yourModHere\history\states\stateHere.txt?

[digital stag]

yes

[quick latch]

Does your country have a flag and everything?

[digital stag]

yes

i done everything in the tutorial

[quick latch]

hmm

And you're sure that the country's tag is three capital letters and that your folder structure is correct?

[digital stag]

tag is UFA and folder struckture is the same as in the original game folder

[quick latch]

very weird

[digital stag]

ill just cut it out the mod i think

[quick latch]

damn

Do you think you could send me your mod folder see I could check it?

[digital stag]

that should work

[digital stag]

i sent it via dm

[quick latch]

kk

[quick latch]

I see the issue

[digital stag]

That quick?

[quick latch]

It's supposed to be called "country_tags", not "countrie_tags"

[digital stag]

Oh

My english spelling sucks since im german lol

[quick latch]

Hatte gestern hier auch schon einen deutschen gesehen xd

[digital stag]

Ah perfekt

Thank you

I may need some help with events since they are pretty confusing

you have to

steam being steam doesnt install description files for me anymore

[burnt vigil]

odd

bc ik it's steam\steamapps\workshop\content

Also there's just a names_I_english.yml file

And the only contents are "l_english:

Who is pablo 💀?

ended up just replacing stanley baldwin instead

It worked lol

indeed

but I prefer using VSCode because it lets me see all the files then and there

[slender brook]

Nah it absolutely sucks, I’ve soent more time fixing the crappy broken code it spits out than actually coding stuff. Only useful for planning but even then, just use something draw.io

[burnt vigil]

it's only really good to visualize stuff

it's not really the best for making the actual mods, bc it doesn't help with the code aspects much at all

[compact nexus]

Is there a way to add multiple gfx for mechanized or ships like how it was done for airplanes and tanks before the designer?

[fallow ingot]

what would i put for an event option that give anthor country states, not just the country your playing as

nvm got it

[fallow ingot]

how do you play as a country through an event

[thin chasm]

XXX = { change_tag_from = YYY }

Where X is the country you become and Y is the country you change from

So that inserting a country event for Czechoslovakia to become e.g. Poland would be written as POL = { change_tag_from = CZE }

[fallow ingot]

anyone know how to make a news event trigger from a focus

[fresh knot]

bro why does making a leader not work

😭

[burnt vigil]

how are you making them?

through the old way, or new way?

[fresh knot]

create_country_leader

or is that defunct?

[burnt vigil]

is it the character, or is it in the country file?

[fresh knot]

country file

[burnt vigil]

make a folder in common, call it characters

[fresh knot]

done

[burnt vigil]

in it, make a .txt with the tag you want for that country

for example GER.txt

[fresh knot]

ok

done

[burnt vigil]

in it, type
characters={

TAG_leader_name={
    name=Leader_Name
    portraits={
        civilian={
            large="GFX location + name"
        }
    }

thats the basic setup for making any form of character

[fresh knot]

what is civilian parameter in portraits?

[burnt vigil]

a general portrait

idk what the modified would be, but if you had a portrait for advisor, say wearing a military outfit, then the leader wearing a suit

[fresh knot]

do i remove the create_country_leader in country file?

[burnt vigil]

ye

you can get rid of that whole part

[fresh knot]

ok

let me see if it works now

[burnt vigil]

instead do 'create_character="TAG_Name_here"

country_leader={
ideology=absolutism
traits={ legitimate_heir inexperienced_monarch }
expire="1941.6.4"
id=-1

this is what you'd do for the leader

traits can be whatever

same with ideology, expirely and ID

[fresh knot]

ok

[burnt vigil]

lmk if it works

[fresh knot]

Name here, as in leader name?

[burnt vigil]

yes

so for example, GER_Adolf_Hitler

or SOV_Iosef_Stalin

[fresh knot]

how do i make it never expire

leave it blank?

[burnt vigil]

set it to something obsured

like 9999.1.1

[fresh knot]

it doesn't work

[burnt vigil]

any errors?

[fresh knot]

just No commander

[burnt vigil]

Odd...

[fresh knot]

create_character="TAG_Guy_Lastname"
country_leader={
ideology=fascism
traits={}
expire="1941.6.4"
id=-1
}

i just put this at the bottom

[upper forge]

Is there an official Kaiserreich discord server?

[quick latch]

hmm

[obtuse condor]

i wish there was a mod that made it so if you occupied territories like how yugoslavia does and ur stability gets too low u fall apart or if you arent at war and u only have none-core states u fall apart
like if u invade britain and take all their cores their colonies fall apart
its kinda dumb but funny

[burnt vigil]

like when you cap a country?

say france

how you usually take all their colonial land

that what you mean?

that kinda system

[obtuse condor]

no like

if u get in a peace deal

i usually like to just take the colonies with resources cuz its funny to see a big L france

and it would be funnier if they were falling apart

[dim bronze]

in my mod every country has the wrong color and my one wont appear, how do i fix it

[thin chasm]

How are your country files set up?

[dim bronze]

like the iron workshops tutorial

the creating new country one

[thin chasm]

Yeah but like, what does the text look like

[dim bronze]

what part of it

[thin chasm]

Oh, just paste the text in here, it's not a big file

[dim bronze]

what part of the text

i have the color

the state

the tag

[thin chasm]

The colour then

Whole line

[dim bronze]

TGE = {
color = rgb { 231 219 157 }
color_ui = rgb { 231 219 157 }

graphical_culture = western_european_gfx
graphical_culture_2d = western_european_2d

color = rgb { 231 219 157 } #

[thin chasm]

Well those first three lines are redundant, and quite possibly breaking the file

So try removing those and see if that works

[dim bronze]

this whole part?

[thin chasm]

Wait, I thought that was all one text file, hang on

[dim bronze]

if its the whole thing then it doesnt work

[thin chasm]

Hm, well, with that context, I'm not too sure

[dim bronze]

do you want a screenshot of what it looks like ingame

im trying to make a new country but it isnt working

[quiet umbra]

?

[ionic ocean]

yo when i create a new character, i did the recruit_character thing in the history file and when i boot in debug mode it says unknown chraracter
what am i doing wrong?
i created the character correctly and everything i dont know whats going on and why its not working

i did it for another character and it worked just fine, but for some reason when i did everything the exact same as i did last time this time it says unknown character

[dim bronze]

when i do a test my country doesnt appear and the map has random colors, what do i do

[lost helm]

Someone make Michael Collins an Irish general

[ionic ocean]

i figured out what i did wrong

but now i have another question
how do i make my character take precedence over the other leaders

[ionic ocean]

so like lets say im making a fascist character witth the rexism subideology how do i get that character and his ideology to be the fascist ideology leader in my country?

[ionic ocean]

waitt creating a new character deletes the current leader even if i only changed the leader of a different party thats not in power
why?

can anyone tell me how to fix that

[obtuse condor]

How do i make a country start as a puppet of another?

[ebon granite]

It needs to be updated to be playeble in the current version of the game ☠️

[slender brook]

Yeah so uh… good luck with that

[ebon granite]

thanks 🥲

[strange tinsel]

I tried making a custom map

got a casual 25k errors

*49k

is this an acceptable margin?

[quick latch]

go into overlord's country file (yourModName\history\countries\countryTag - CountryName.txt) and add this near the set_politics = { ... } block:

set_autonomy = {
    target = XXX # The country to puppet
    autonomy_state = autonomy_XXX # Autonomy types available here: steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\common\autonomous_states
}

for example: in GER - Germany.txt

set_autonomy = {
    target = POL
    autonomy_state = autonomy_puppet
}
``` This would make Poland a puppet of Germany upon game start

[quick latch]

about what you expect when making a custom map, good luck fixing I guess

[strange tinsel]

yeah, I know

but it should be fixable

maybe

strategic regions are made up of states or provinces?

[quick latch]

provinces but using Nudger to edit strat regions changes whole states

[strange tinsel]

ah, I see

now I only have to find out how many provinces I have

easy™️

alright, I have 2.3k states

that might be a bit too much

but hey, nudger exists for a reason

[quick latch]

yee

[strange tinsel]

alright, suply areas done

now onto strat regions

this might be painful

alright, test launch

I think my pc is feeling those 2k states

soo, my states have no people living in them

thus the game will crash

wait a second the game is still running

hasn't crashed yet

what

well, that was a success

I created a new country and it's supposed to be non-aligned but it is defaulting to democratic and when i look at the popularities wheel thingy it just shows a black wheel and all the popularities i have set add up to 100, help

Just as a general memo to everyone looking for help getting a part of a mod file to work, please keep in mind the following:

Nobody but you can see your mod files.

Yes, someone might know what the problem is just from description alone, but that's not a guarantee. It's very hard to debug something when you can't see what you're debugging, and at worst, the only commentary that can be given from the information provided is, "Yes, that certainly doesn't seem to be working." Try sharing the code you think doesn't work - even if it doesn't end up being the problem, it's at least a jumping off point to finding the actual problem.

[thin chasm]

As for you specifically, is sounds like your country file in history/countries/ hasn't been set up correctly

[pearl grove]

this is the set politics and popularities. set_politics = {
ruling_party = neutrality
last_election = "1935.10.14"
election_frequency = 60
elections_allowed = yes
}
set_popularities = {
democratic = 3
communism = 12
neutrality = 70
fascism = 14
}

I think it has

been set up correctly

as i just edited austria's file

in my mod

[thin chasm]

Well I can see immediately from that code that the popularities don't add up to 100, but 99

Which is a problem in itself

[pearl grove]

oh well i did it with the console commands so thats probably why

i just fixed it and it still shows the black circle and still defaults to democratic

[thin chasm]

Well, I have to step out, but my other thought is that one of the other blocks of code (starting tech, starting diplomacy, etc.) in the file is messing up the rest of it

So try removing those individually to see if it fixes the party popularity wheel

[pearl grove]

ok

that worked thanks

[burnt vigil]

don't need the ruling party iirc

the first person with the "leader" role in the characters\TAG.txt will be the leader

[muted gyro]

What are you favourite mods guys?

[burnt vigil]

I am actually looking for some DLC that could make the game more fun a bit

DLC/mod

[burnt vigil]

DLCs i'd say the 3 editors, NSB, BBA, and MTG

[sand dust]

Nsb

[burnt vigil]

and depending on any countries you play, like china, or Hungary, get the DLC for them

[sand dust]

Wtt if you go more vanilla close mods

[muted gyro]

I played it once with my friend (he has all DLCs) and i was lost in the editors ;-;

[burnt vigil]

dw thats normal

[sand dust]

Most country trees are shit so not worth it for the price

[burnt vigil]

Hungary for AH, thats about it for europe

[sand dust]

Hungary's AH path sucks so eh

[burnt vigil]

it's decent

but even then you're messed if you don't up your conscription

[sand dust]

It's meh

[burnt vigil]

germany communist path is better than it imo
