how is the other name

for

puppeted states

subject?

[quick latch]

puppet states are called subject in code, yes

[keen parrot]

also, how do i create a city and move the capital there

[quick latch]

That I do not know

[keen parrot]

okay

[pale sparrow]

Regardless of who receives the event, the events are usually defined for one side

[indigo yoke]

Really good to know, tysm

[keen parrot]

i need to replace xxx with controller area id?

[quick latch]

XXX -> state id

[keen parrot]

for instance

this is 84

[quick latch]

The states you want in available = { ... } are the states that you want to core

Not your own

[keen parrot]

            controls_state = 82 # Do this for every state that you need to control
            controls_state = 78
            controls_state = 80
            controls_state = 83
            controls_state = 77
            controls_state = 79
            controls_state = 46
            controls_state = 76
            controls_state = 81
            controls_state = 766
            controls_state = 84
            controls_state = 155 #hungarian
            controls_state = 43
            controls_state = 154
    }```

so

if i do this

(all ids are ids for romanian territories and hungarian ones)

the decision is available only if i control all the states listed above

right?

[quick latch]

yea

[keen parrot]

okay thanks

[quick latch]

Now for Romania's name and color to change. Go to yourmod\localisation (create folders if neccessarry) and create yourmod_localisation_l_english.yml (also change encoding to UTF-8 with BOM)
In there write:

l_english:
 ROM_dacia_democratic: "new Romanian democratic name"
 ROM_dacia_neutrality: "new Romanian non-aligned name"
 ROM_dacia_fascism: "new Romanian fascist name"
 ROM_dacia_communism: "new Romanian communist name"

Now go into the Hoi4 files and copy the cosmetic.txt from Hearts of Iron IV\common\countries into yourmod\common\countries.
Open it and at the end of the file write the following:

ROM_dacia = {
    color = rgb { XXX XXX XXX }
    color_ui = rgb { XXX XXX XXX }
}

Replace the XXX with the RGB values you want

[keen parrot]

_l_?

is that L?

[quick latch]

yes

[keen parrot]

can i

change the name of dacia_neutrality

after doing a focus?

for example

[quick latch]

You'd have to create a new cosmetic tag for that

[keen parrot]

i ll skip it then

after modifying some of the mistakes

[quick latch]

Why would you ever wan to do that? Use a custom_effect_tooltip if the text is too long for you.
Put your add_state_core lines in a hidden_effect = { ... } codeblock and before the hidden_effect = { ... } write custom_effect_tooltip = ROM_dacia_core_tt
Go into your localisation file and add ROM_dacia_core_tt: "Cores some Hungarian states"

[quick latch]

Is that all of the code in the file?

[keen parrot]

in discord

i mean

[keen parrot]

yes

[quick latch]

Then you did something wrong

[keen parrot]

i only removed some of the cores when pasting on discord bcs of character limit

[quick latch]

ah

what's going on with that bracket?

[keen parrot]

igh

fml

it's not c

im not used to notepad

mb

i still get the erros though

[quick latch]

You need to place ROM_form_dacia inside of ROM_dacia_formable

Like this:

ROM_dacia_formable = {
    ROM_form_dacia = { ... }
}

[keen parrot]

oh

[14:53:40][persistent.cpp:48]: Error: "Unexpected token: ROM_form_dacia, near line: 2" in file: "common/decisions/categories/Dacia_formables_category.txt" near line: 77

the brackeys are closed correctly

[quick latch]

Open the category file and show me your code

[keen parrot]

sorry for wasting your time

i ll try this another time

maybe i should start with something easier

[obtuse condor]

Does anybody now how i can like "replace" all of the Vanilla HOI4 nations? So its empty for my mod

i want to like have an "own" world,with new Nations

[pale sparrow]

you add replace_path entries to your mod definitions, so it doesnt load the relavent vanilla folder

for the map, idk if its supported yet to have no owner

[obtuse condor]

ah okay. But wont i then like have 10.000 error stuff cause of events?

edit: it will

[pale sparrow]

yup

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that lets me make sure that countries dont go a certain path

so i can make it so that britain goes any path other than communist

and doesnt destroy my potato cpu

[pliant reef]

is there a mod that allows people to send lend lease while at peace

[timber sparrow]

Alright, maybe someone here can help me out. Has anyone worked with modding new aircraft and tanks using NSB and BBA? for some reason I can't get the chassis modification screen to show up.

[keen parrot]

im happy that i made it work partially and just wanted to share this with you guys

[timber sparrow]

looks like your next step is gonna be heading to the localization files lol

but that's awesome

[keen parrot]

i need to set the icon straight

but it's fine

[timber sparrow]

chassis shows up in the production menu, but when clicking on it to create a variant I get this(same issue for both tank and plane, but for ships it works fine.)

error.log has no errors related to my mod at this point, so its gotta be something I'm just completely missing

[keen parrot]

is it possible

to add focuses to an existing focusing tree

without replacing it

[quick latch]

not as far as I know

[keen parrot]

[keen parrot]

i chose romania

and i got instantly annexed by the country i created

[dim bronze]

how do you rename ideologies for one country?

[chilly field]

how would i go about creating a mod that simply takes an already existing leader in the game a putting the leader as the head of another already existing country

i basically want to put the pope pius 12 as the non-aligned leader of the releasable papal states

[keen parrot]

how can i make my country change its color when i switch political ideologies

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that lets you scorch cities but like your enemies cities as in how the bri🤮ish burned down the white house?

[keen parrot]

i think i might help you somehow

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that lets you make frontlines over multiple countries

i cant be asked to search for some kind of weird names

[keen parrot]

                ideology = fascism
                long_name = ROM_fascism_party_long
                name = ROM_fascism_party
            }```

i found this in focuses text file

might help you somehow

[keen parrot]

you can already do that without mods

[chilly field]

How

[keen parrot]

set up a fallback line and when the war starts delete the fallback line and create a frontline

or create the frontline after creating the fallback line (without assigning anyone to the frontline) and plan your attack. the general will still be planning the attack

and when you start the war, delete the fallback line and assign them to the frontline

[obtuse condor]

yeah but at peace

it only lets me do one country

unless its puppets

[chilly field]

How can you help me

[keen parrot]

this syntax

replace ROM with your country tag

[keen parrot]

can someone help me with the syntax

[quick latch]

You want to rename a party, right?

[dim bronze]

yes

[quick latch]

Copy parties_l_english.yml (SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\localisation\english) into your own localisation folder (remember: yourmod\localisation\english\parties_l_english.yml) and there you see all countries' political parties, you can easily rename one

[keen parrot]

hello

        name=ROM_CHARACTER_CODREANU
        portraits={
            civilian={
                large="GFX_portrait_romania_cz_codreanu_large"
                small="GFX_portrait_romania_cz_codreanu_small"
            }
            
        }
        country_leader={
            ideology=gen_nazism
            traits = { dictator }
            desc = ROM_CZCODREANU_DESC
            expire="1965.1.1.1"
        }
        advisor={
            slot = high_command
            allowed = {
                tag = ROM
            }
            available = {
                has_country_leader = {
                    ruling_only = yes
                }
            }
            traits = {
                army_infantry_3
            }
            cost = 100
        }
        corps_commander={
            traits={ infantry_officer }
            skill=1
            attack_skill=1
            defense_skill=1
            planning_skill=1
            logistics_skill=1
            legacy_id=0
        }
    }```

this is the character

that im planning to use as a country leader (later in the game)

how can i give him the corps commander (make him general) through a focus?

what's the syntax i should use

                    name = "Barbu Paraianu"
                    gfx = GFX_Portrait_romania_barbu_paraianu
                    traits = { infantry_officer }
                    skill = 2
                    attack_skill = 1
                    defense_skill = 1
                    planning_skill = 3
                    logistics_skill = 2
                }``` i have a similar syntax of how this could work from another focus but this one is for creating a character and also assigning it

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that makes it so that like after the end of a long war your army is weaker for 3 months or sum

[lofty plaza]

Not that I'm aware of

[obtuse condor]

can agree.

[lost inlet]

hello, can someone tell me how to edit the loading screen font

im making a mod and i dont like the default loading screen font, i wanna replace with my own

[tribal osprey]

How would i mod in supply? Like modding in how much supply you either consume or not

[chilly field]

how would i go about creating a mod that simply takes an already existing leader in the game a putting the leader as the head of another already existing country i basically want to put the pope pius 12 as the non-aligned leader of the releasable Papal States

[keen parrot]

you want to release the papal states

and have the pope as the leader?

        name = ITA_papa_pio_xi
        portraits = {
            civilian = {
                large = GFX_portrait_ITA_papa_pio_xi
            }
        }

        #COUNTRY LEADER ROLE IS GIVEN LATER
    }

    ITA_papa_pio_xii = {
        name = ITA_papa_pio_xii
        portraits = {
            civilian = {
                large = GFX_portrait_ITA_papa_pio_xii
            }
        }```

one of these is the pope

what you can do is copy the country file of the papal states

documents/paradox interactive/hoi4/mod/yourmodname/history/countries/<papal states tag> - Papal States.txt

or however is it named

search for the recruit_character list

and put recruit_character = ITA_papa_pio_xii on top of the rest

[vocal sage]

advise mods for mp games to optimize communication with players to make the ping more stable

[obtuse condor]

ok guys so imagine if there was a mod that gave countries new focus trees in 1939 start date
like germany could have historical but also a civil war tree like the soviet union or france could cut off ties with britain
maybe you could help austria/czechia revolt against hitler

[copper salmon]

this is a file of a mod i made, but it doesn't get loaded where do i need to put it so it does get loaded?

[pale sparrow]

thatd work literally nowhere on its own

[copper salmon]

why not

[pale sparrow]

you need some kind of thing triggering the script

either you put it in an on_action, a focus, a decision, a character, etc.

[copper salmon]

on_action = {on_startup = {}}?

would that be ok?

@pale sparrow

[pale sparrow]

almost

[copper salmon]

what am i missing then

[pale sparrow]

its on_actions

and in the on_startup there needs to be an effect scope

[copper salmon]

like this?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[copper salmon]

in common/on_actions?

[pale sparrow]

mhm

[copper salmon]

I'm trying it rn

thx it work now

I don't know how to explain thoroughly but when working on my mod, and adding a new country, I went through the process of choosing the color, the tags and then adding it to localization, now all of a sudden the name of my country I just made doesn't work, and the previous names of countries that once worked have stopped working and not appearing when selecting them, tho the flags and names of leaders still appear.

and thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

[quick latch]

Never did anything like that, try it yourself

[ocean prairie]

okay!

[vale condor]

looking through things real quick that is probably the best option i can see

thanks btw!

[ocean prairie]

is it possible to create if statements in rewards? like if check variable then this happens etc.

[pale anvil]

yep, same issue still persists

[quick latch]

weird

[quick latch]

of course

if = {
    limit = {
        # thing to check for
    }

    # effect here
}

[ocean prairie]

okii thxxx

[pale anvil]

here are the files

example state with WAM:

states show up with color

no name tho

then the name of a previously working country has stopped

[ocean prairie]

So the Country itself works but the Name doesnt appear?

[pale anvil]

Yes for the blue one, it used to appear as Jamestown Island, I recenlty added the second one, the green one, and now both of them dont show names but the blue one is still playable

[ocean prairie]

hmmm. Maybe try deleting the second country again and see if the first one works then. I can't seem to find an error in the code itself. It could be because the "-" in WAM- Williams needs to be like this:" WAM - Williams" with a space in between but i dont know if this is the issue if the first one worked. Maybe try this and if this doesnt fix the issue you could maybe just try fixing the first one again and if it works then just trying the second one again.

[pale anvil]

ok ill try both of those out!

[ocean prairie]

So i got a problem:

I made a variable "ps" that if 0 with a focus is getting randomized and after this focus depending on the random number it set a specific focus is activated but i got the problem that a randomize between 1 and 4 in my case always sets it to 2.

Heres the code:

IF = {
limit{check_variable = { ps = 0}}
TYR = {
set_variable_to_random = {
var = ps
min = 1
max = 5
integer = yes
}
}
}

[quick latch]

make sure limit is:

limit = {
    check_variable = { ps = 0 }
}

[ocean prairie]

ohh yyes this could be the problem

[pale anvil]

@quick latch any idea on how to fix my problem? I liked over the wiki and its still persisting, I tried other options, but to no avail...

[quick latch]

Do you have debug mode enabled?

[pale anvil]

yes

[quick latch]

Do you get any errors that have to do with localization?

[pale anvil]

ill check

No localization errors...

[ocean prairie]

it doesnt seem like it fixed the issue it still only results in 2...

thats the completion reward....

[quick latch]

change country localisation file to this temporarily:

l_english:
 WAM: "William and Mary"
 WAM_DEF: "William and Mary"
 WAM_ADJ: "William and Mary"
 TST: "Jamestown Island"
 TST_DEF: "the Jamestone"
 TST_ADJ: "Jamestone"

If this doesn't work then I don't know what could be wrong

[quick latch]

perhaps you're just getting unlucky?

[pale anvil]

still doesnt work, i guess ill head off to do something else

[quick latch]

hmm weird

[ocean prairie]

i tried it like 6 times now i dont think i am so unlucky to only get 2

[pale anvil]

thanks for trying to help tho @quick latch

[ocean prairie]

Hey! Do you think it would be better if i just try with the random_list?
Maybe this will make things work

[quick latch]

you sure all the brackets are correct?

[ocean prairie]

yes pretty sure

the last bracket is for the whole focus

[quick latch]

also why did you place the code so random? I mean I copied your code and mine looks like this:

(ignore integSer, keyboard did a little bit of trolling)

[ocean prairie]

hm might be bc im in Notepad xD

[quick latch]

why

Just use a normal text editor for coding like anyone else does

[ocean prairie]

yeah i do but i just thought "yeah its like just a small error nothing to open up a program"

[quick latch]

Don't know what you're talking about, I use VS Code for that and I always use it, even for just looking at something small because it's just better

[ocean prairie]

yeah thats not the point now i mean its 00:20 where i live and im tired but i want to fix that error before i forget anything xD

but the brackets should still all fit and shouldnt be an issue

[quick latch]

It's 0:20 for me too and still got things to do for school, so I shall do that now
Hope you fix your issue

[ocean prairie]

well thx anyways

[lofty plaza]

Yes, it probably is.

does anybody know how can i grant an existing character the corps_commander trait?

[keen parrot]

what

is there an actual wiki

[pale sparrow]

Ofc

[keen parrot]

thanks a lot

[pale sparrow]

However, just like other add role effects, they cant hide the role later

if you want that, you define it in the character file but hide the role until you unlock it by setting a flag or completing a focus etc.

[keen parrot]

yea

i wanted to have a focus

that grants that role effect to an existing character

What exactly do you want? Do you want the generic advisors or not?

[fiery sparrow]

I don't want them

[quick latch]

You do only want the "ideology advisors" removed or also the military advisors?

[fiery sparrow]

ideology advisors

I have a minor country that have generic political advisors and I dont want them

[quick latch]

In the generic_advisors.txt file, go the the first three every_possible_country = { ... } code blocks and change the first NOT = { ... } (inside limit = { ... }) to include your country tag
aka this:

every_possible_country = {
    limit = {
        NOT = {
            OR = {
                tag = XXX # your own country tag
                tag = GER
                tag = ENG
                # and so on

[fiery sparrow]

I did that

[fiery sparrow]

.

it is not working

[quick latch]

Have you tried restarting the game / starting the game in debug mode?

[fiery sparrow]

yes

few times

[quick latch]

and the debug file, does it show anything?

[fiery sparrow]

nothing about that

[quick latch]

weird

is the folder structure correct?

[fiery sparrow]

no

XD

Thank you

it is all for now

[quick latch]

If anyone has any suggestions or concepts for the idea of a small mod, I would appreciate it if you could share them with me.

[valid halo]

how can i make it so that when a country does a focus they can no longer puppet countries

[keen parrot]

should be something about

disabling the can create puppets rule

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/

should be something like

  can_puppet = no
}```

[pale sparrow]

yup

[valid halo]

thanks

[carmine rain]

how do i this

[quick latch]

?

[chilly field]

how do i change countries ideology name

[quick latch]

you mean party name or what?

[chilly field]

no like country name, i wanna rename fascist ireland

[quick latch]

Create this folder structure: yourmod\localisation\english and copy the file countries_l_english.yml from base game files into your own folder.
Search for IRE_fascism and there you can change the name.

[chilly field]

alr ty

[past zinc]

does that work with puppet names or is that something else

[spare crest]

could someone who owns HOI3 send/show me where the model files are at?

i have seen that hoi3 has some interesting ship models

so i would like to put them into my "additional ship models" mod

[quick latch]

not related to modding, go into another channel

[chilly field]

Yeah I think

[obtuse condor]

anyone got suggestions for bigger overhaul mods? I've played rt56 and KR/KX, along with TNO, I want some more variety to play (:

[cold plume]

can someone tell me how flags work

the name needs to have the country tag in it to be assigned right?

it's not working for me

[slender brook]

Is it in tga format

[cold plume]

yes

[slender brook]

What programme are you using

[cold plume]

paint.net

the flags have worked for me before

but now it's not

[slender brook]

Might have to do with RLE compression. I personally use GIMP which has a distinct Turn Off RLE compression option

[cold plume]

hmm

alright let me turn it off

epic thanks very much

[vocal sage]

cause i tried to make a small mod that changes country names

didnt work

i tried everything

[valid apex]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/National_focus_modding this should help

[quick latch]

🗿

You only need to change the localization file containing the country

[plucky idol]

Tried it

Nth works

@quick latch

[quick latch]

You sure you tried to change the country in the countries_l_english.yml file the folder structure was yourmod\localisation\english\countries_l_english.yml ?

[plucky idol]

Smth else

[fiery sparrow]

I have a question, in what file can i add new tank designers and etc. ?

[chilly field]

ive got a couple questions, how would i add a leader description and how would i add a country to the major powers screen?

[pale sparrow]

common/bookmarks for the 2nd question

[chilly field]

alr ive done that

how would i add a leader description tho

[pale sparrow]

desc argument inside the role

I forgot if its leader-exclusive

[chilly field]

ok ty

sorry i just got one more question, how do you add a formable nation to the game

[pale sparrow]

I get this question so often

usually its a decision that adds cores and a cosmetic tag

[chilly field]

how would i add the decision?

i dont mind about the cos tag just the decision and cores

[pale sparrow]

look at existent ones, its pretty simple

if you wanna make it fancy, check Road to 56 ones, you can highlight the required states there

[obtuse condor]

I need some help modding the Italian OOB

[azure fern]

anyone know what the "couldn't find dependancy" error is when trying to code in a national focus? i've done it before and i didnt have an error like this but now i have it

also, my game crashes as soon as i try to do a new game but i dont think this is because of the focus

[jade mauve]

how do you create a new city like this on an existing province?

[obtuse condor]

I've discovered this program. I hope that can help you https://github.com/ScottyThePilot/hoi4_province_editor

Actually i just download a mod from MODDB and i just modify the mod file

[ocean prairie]

I got a question. I made an Event with like 5 Buttons. The problem I got now is that the Fifth Button is bugging our of the event GUI and half of it is cut off. Does someone know how to fix that?

[hollow snow]

hey, how do i fix my game? i used debug mode to create two states and now hoi4 keeps crashing

nvm i fixed it somehow

[zenith horizon]

how do i change if a nation is released in the save file?

[severe knoll]

is there a way to make the target country of an operation not influence the operation duration with their counterinteligence, or is that hardcoded?

[quick latch]

change what?

[zenith horizon]

if a nation is released

[quick latch]

...

if a nation gets released, what supposed to happen?

[zenith horizon]

it becomes a nation

i mean how do i change if territory is released or not

[quick latch]

I don't understand what you mean

[obtuse condor]

Somebody can help me?

[zenith horizon]

for example, yugoslavia contains croatia. You can release croatia as a nation. where in the save file is it visible if a nation like croatia is released, or not.

[quick latch]

You want to modify a save file?

[zenith horizon]

yes: i want to play on a map with all nations released

[quick latch]

You're better off searching for a mod that has all nations released on game start

[zenith horizon]

yes but i can't find any

btw im on xbox gamepass

[quick latch]

why tf are you playing Hoi4 on Xbox

[zenith horizon]

i'm playing on pc but i use xbox gamepass

[quick latch]

??? Just buy the game on Steam
What does it even have to do with you wanting to release all nations

[zenith horizon]

how tf is that any of your business you don't know any of my financial situations.
It has to do with not being able to install Steam Workshop mods on it.

[quick latch]

skill issue
get a job or something

[zenith horizon]

bro i'm 15

[quick latch]

Then mow people's lawn or something

[zenith horizon]

also may i add that any of the questions you asked had anything to do with my question and werent needed for that question

[zenith horizon]

Bro money is not the problem i need to get nations released

i'm not telling you to go to the frontline am i

[quick latch]

You are certainly pointing to it

[zenith horizon]

i'm not i need to get nations released to play a game with my friends a month before my exams

Do you even have the answer or are you just stretching it now

[azure fern]

anyone know how to fix this after a focus has been completed?

it kinda annoys me

and i can't find anything on it on the wiki

[azure fern]

seriously can't find anythign on it

[pale sparrow]

you cannot change it

As far as I know its hardcoded that effects hide

[azure fern]

but for germany,when rhineland is compeltefor example
it doesnt say that

and another problem, i want to swap ideas and all i get is this

which is confusing because i've made two ideas with different names, but same localization so i would get the modifying text

[pale sparrow]

👍 thats correct yeh

[azure fern]

what's correct

???

[pale sparrow]

different names, same loc

[azure fern]

so what's the problem

why does it say that ideas are missing..

[azure fern]

still having same problems

can i please get some help on it

[pale sparrow]

Check error log narrow down the issue

[azure fern]

nothing on error log, it's just a matter of swapping ideas that doesnt work

is there just a rough checklist i should be making sure to do while i do the swap..?

[pale sparrow]

-Try to not reload the idea file when testing this
-Make sure you didnt make any typos in the command
-Ensure all files are loaded correctly - Should be in the error log

[azure fern]

i doubt there's any typos here

[pale sparrow]

using dots in idea and picture names might be an issue

[lethal steppe]

Howdy folks... I am making a radio station mod, when it comes to updating it... what will I have to do? Is it a case of simply updating the version number? Want to keep on top of updating it so I don't get masses of "update pls" messages

also, what is the exact number I must put in for the current version?

must i include "avalanche" etc or just the numbers

[azure fern]

oh my god.. i was so dumb for that

[azure fern]

just the numbers, but you could do 1.12.x

im running into another problem myself though, my starting units get deleted as soon as they spawn..

anytime i slightly change it, it dissapears

[lethal steppe]

so 1.12.12?

[azure fern]

well, it's gonna be updated so if you just do 1.12.x , no matter what the number is after 1.12 is, it's still going to be a valid version

atleast i think, works for me

but yeah, you could put 1.12.12

[lilac pelican]

hello i am working a country event and it keeps on firing although the requirements are not met
`
country_event = {
id = test.1
title = test.1.t
desc = test.1.d
picture = GFX_test

immediate = { add_political_power = -100 }

trigger = {
original_tag = ENG
has_country_flag = test
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
days = 2
modifier = {

    }
}

`
could anyone explain me why it is so?

i tried switching orginal_tag to tag and putting both requirements in AND = {} but it didnt help, it fires also when i play nations which are not the uk

[lofty plaza]

You sure you don't have the flag?

[junior owl]

        name = Submod.2.o1
        completion_reward = {
    custom_effect_tooltip = Yugo_tt
        }
    }```

why wont this work?

[quick latch]

custom_effect_tooltip is just cosmetic text

[junior owl]

i know the text isnt displaying

[quick latch]

Oh

How does your localisation file look like?

[pale sparrow]

looks correct, file encoding though?

[lilac pelican]

the flag does not exist, but i also tried with trivial values like stability > 0.9

[lilac pelican]

the event would also fire when i dont play the uk

[junior owl]

wdym? the file types are correct if thats what you mean

[slender brook]

Do you know what UTF-8 with BOM is

All yml files must be encoded in that

Also hold on, options have completion_rewards?

[junior owl]

oh wait thats prb it

i was just thinking of it in terms of focuses and didnt bother checking if events are diff

[slender brook]

Yeah for options just use the name

You would use custom_effect_tooltip for if the effect of the tooltip should be different from what it says

[junior owl]

thanks!

[obtuse condor]

Somebody knows how to mod the Italian OOB? Seems that is hardcoded or something

[slender brook]

Not at all. History/units and you can edit it.

[obtuse condor]

I've modded that file and seems that doesn't works

[slender brook]

Show me the file tree

[obtuse condor]

Ok wait a second

[slender brook]

No, can you tell me what the file tree is. I guess folder tree would make more sense

Basically, show me all the folders needed to get to the file

[obtuse condor]

You mean the focus tree file?

[slender brook]

No, like this

I mean that is the same folder structure it should use, so just tell me if it's the same (besides the KFP2, which should be your mod's name)

[obtuse condor]

It's the same folder structure

[slender brook]

I see. What are the changes you are trying to make to the OOB?

[obtuse condor]

Trying to make the OOBs more historically accurate

[slender brook]

Alright I'll start doing some more in-depth testing then

[obtuse condor]

I don't what happened actually. I've modded the Italian OOB before and i didn't have problems so i think its something from the DLC maybe

[slender brook]

Oh, it's probably because you're editing ITA_1936 and not ITA_1936_NSB

[obtuse condor]

Where is that file?

[slender brook]

Same place

[obtuse condor]

I've found the file. I'll see what happens now

[limpid comet]

Has anyone here played great war redux and gone the anarchist path

And if so

How

How does that wotk

[obtuse condor]

Game is crashing now. What i do now?

[slender brook]

Well, probably a code issue. Check for the brackets

[obtuse condor]

Nothing happens. Stills crashing

[slender brook]

Alright, send the file to me

[obtuse condor]

Here's the file

[slender brook]

Yeah I don't crash at all

[obtuse condor]

What i should do then?

[slender brook]

Well, if there are other files in that mod I would check those.

What I sometimes do to find the bad file, is to move folders elsewhere one by one until it eventually stops crashing

[obtuse condor]

I see. Seems that i will try to make the mod from zero then

[azure fern]

my starting army / oob disappears as soon as i unpause, anyone know why this is?

[spiral oxide]

Is there a genocide mod?

[lofty plaza]

They're not properly equipped

[azure fern]

how so?

i’ve never modified them before and it’s a first for me but when i did. modify the template, put amount of equipment

it just dissapears

[lofty plaza]

The issue may be is that you have no manpower to equip them, so they have no strength.

[azure fern]

ah so, do i just add manpower to the country before i run the game again?

and if so, is it to do with the oob or country files

[lofty plaza]

You can do it in the history file

[azure fern]

alright thanks

[lethal steppe]

hey folks how do i update the game tags for a mod (i.e. sound, history, etc) after it's been uploaded?

[mild shore]

i want mods to enhance my gameplay

[lofty plaza]

Upload it to the workshop again

[azure fern]

just came back from my school, would you know what history file it is?

[lofty plaza]

The history file of the country located in history/countries

[azure fern]

and what string is it? im really sorry if this is annoying you it's jsut ive been through my country file and i can't find anything on manpower

[obtuse condor]

Seems the game stills crashing again

[lofty plaza]

add_manpower = whatever you need to supply them

[quick latch]

Which font file do I replace to change the font you see on buttons, loading screens, focus / decision descriptions, ... and so on?

[obtuse condor]

no sectarian woes👍

[lethal steppe]

I want to update this mod... is that possible or have things changed so much since 2018 that it is a moot project?

[quick latch]

I don't know what's weirder, that fact that you're using ModernizeFabrikalar as id or that the focus is op

[lethal steppe]

rather new to modding but want to sink my teeth into this specifically

[quick latch]

You want to update another's mod?

[lethal steppe]

yes, Wonderwaffe has not been online for years

I actually think he might be dead

[quick latch]

Don't think that's possible

[lethal steppe]

and I simply adore this mod

[quick latch]

You can always just reupload your own version of the mod

[lethal steppe]

why is it not possible? Is it because things have changed so much with HOI4 since then?

oh yes thart's what i mean

[obtuse condor]

Don't worry. I've solved the problem now and is working as should be. Thanks for your help

[obtuse condor]

bro this is giga focus it will give more factory and this will remove sectarian woes debuff don't look id

[quick latch]

fix id, it's weird af seeing that

[obtuse condor]

👍 thx

[obtuse condor]

maybe if u want then choose

[quick latch]

Use TUR_modernize_fabrikalar

[obtuse condor]

👍

@quick latch I fix it and ı gave -200 pp

[quick latch]

Why did you sent the file?

[obtuse condor]

it's fixed

[quick latch]

You already told me, but what does that have to do with the file?
What am I supposed to do with it?

[lofty plaza]

Eu4 map mode

[summer juniper]

Does anyone know how to increase build slots in a state without needing to use the tech tree, like how to increase it in the files?

[lofty plaza]

Improve the state category so it has more building slots

If that want it on game start that is

[summer juniper]

yes, that is what I've been looking for

thx

[dense egret]

Anyone got any good overall rework mods like RT56, Looking for something new

[nimble solar]

Darkest Hour, but it is outdated I believe and you have to go back a game version or 2

I’ve tried it, quite nice just takes an age for everything to set up

[azure fern]

is there a way to release something and puppet it as a decision? (basically formable puppets)

[dim bronze]

how do i get a focus icon?

[quick latch]

A custom one or you do want to use an already existing icon?

Can you explain that a bit?

[lofty plaza]

It just looks a bit like eu4, is all.

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that stops britain from guaranteeing everybody

[quick latch]

Don't know of one but I could make you that kind of mod after I get home from school

[obtuse condor]

thank you

[wheat topaz]

its in the custom game rules

[cedar thunder]

cant you like make guarantees not allowed in game rules

[lofty plaza]

Yes, through game rules as shown above

[distant saddle]

Are you playing on Mac? It's not Mac compatible

[cedar thunder]

ohh yeah

oof that sucks

[dim bronze]

existing

[quick latch]

Go to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\interface\goals, there you can see every available focus icon.
Then go to Hearts of Iron IV\interface and open goals.gfx. Now search for the file name you saw in Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\interface\goals.
Paste the focus icon name into your icon field in your focus tree file

[dim bronze]

how do i fix this issue with troop flags?

[quick latch]

What's the issue?

[dim bronze]

look at the troop flag

its not the country one

[quick latch]

Where?

this?

[dim bronze]

yes

[quick latch]

That's a PDX / base game issue, don't think it's fixable

[quick latch]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974839592
Didn't find a way to only block England from guaranteeing, so I made the game remove any british guarantee every 24 hours.

[lofty plaza]

Bit unnecessary

Also it checking every day is just going to take up processing power

You should just make it so they cannot do it

[quick latch]

tell me how, set_rule can only limit it to democratic nations

[obtuse condor]

thank you

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know why this focus doesnt work?

[lofty plaza]

The 'support communism' focus is a prerequisite of itself

Wait no that isn't it

[quick latch]

What about it doesn't work? Doesn't show up / reward is broken / ... ?

[obtuse condor]

Doesn't show up

Im trying to fix it for 2 days

[quick latch]

Issue is wrongly placed brackets, lemme fix rq

[obtuse condor]

Okay

[quick latch]

Little question, have you misspelled "Crimea" or are you calling it "Crimae" on purpose?

[obtuse condor]

Crimae on purpose

[quick latch]

kk

[obtuse condor]

Bc if i name it crimea_focus it wouldnt work

the whole focus

[lofty plaza]

The indentation is terrible

[quick latch]

yeah

[obtuse condor]

wdym?

[lofty plaza]

It's really poorly spaced

Honestly I would just say start from scratch and maintain proper indentation so you can spot potential issues very easily

[quick latch]

I fixed it

give moment for upload

here

[obtuse condor]

Thanks mate! Im gonna see if this works

[quick latch]

tl;dr of the issue: missing } at the end

[fathom spindle]

in the wiki it says one of the advantages to debugging mode is the automatic loading, but i cant seem to get that working. (https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modding#Debug_advantages)

do i need to do anything special?

[quick latch]

Only place you really can use that is when editing focus trees and localisation (although the latter doesn't want to work sometimes)

[obtuse condor]

Found again a problem

lol

[lofty plaza]

Easily spottable with proper indentation

[fathom spindle]

ah damn, alright thank you

[quick latch]

yeah

[quick latch]

support_communism and elimate_communism both being able to be done?

[obtuse condor]

Yea

but they are mutually exclusive

[quick latch]

hold on

[lofty plaza]

I think only one has it

[quick latch]

yeah, both need to have a mutually_exclusive with eath other in it

[obtuse condor]

ohhhh

okay

now it works

thanks

[quick latch]

👍

also, use a text editor like Notepad++ or VS Code pls

[obtuse condor]

I am using

Notepad

++

[quick latch]

try using tabs instead of spaces

[obtuse condor]

Okay

It always should if you’re overwriting the original file

[dull maple]

Is there a mod that is world war 1?

[pale sparrow]

One of the biggest ones is WW1 but its discontinued and kind of bad

Few focus trees and forced scripted peacedeals

[dull maple]

Ok thank you

[indigo lance]

Damn, someone should make a mod about a timeline where the Soviet Union never fell and the Cold War continued into the 21st century. Point of divergence where Gorbachev does Perestroika somewhere in the early 1980’s but not Glasnost meaning the Soviet economy transfers to a mixture between a market economy and state controlled economy. This allows the soviet economy to remain competitive and for the Cold War to continue. Glasnost never happens though, so the USSR carries on as an authoritarian state and keeps it sphere of influence in the eastern Block. (maybe Gorbachev dies before he can liberalise the USSR)
Anyone interested?

[ocean prairie]

Is there a statement which says like "do that to everyone in your faction?"

Like if i want to give all allies in my faction 10% stability for example.

[severe knoll]

does anyone know a mod like state transfer tool, but it also allows u to make a cuntry pupet of other country?

baller_the_baller_desc: "your description here"

[sacred drift]

Yeah I did that but it also doesn't work either for some reason

[quick latch]

Is your file encoded as "UTF-8 with BOM" ?

[sacred drift]

idk, I'm on mac so yeah, but still at least the modifiers are working as intended

[quick latch]

"idk, I'm on mac so yeah" ?

[sacred drift]

I'm not sure :/

that's what i meant

[quick latch]

What does the one thing have to do with the other?

[sacred drift]

also what does UTF-8 with BOM have to do with the localisation tho

[quick latch]

loc file encoded as anything other than UTF-8 with BOM doesn't work

[sacred drift]

rip

ima find away to encode it ig

[quick latch]

Open file -> save as -> encoding: UTF-8 with BOM

[sacred drift]

was hoping this will work

I'll find out soon

[quick latch]

this

You should be able to change it to UTF-8 with BOM there

[sacred drift]

oh yeah, btw if I'm doing localisation, do i delete all the files in my mod's english localisation except the file that I'm intending on altering

[summer juniper]

does anyone know how to create a formable nation?

[high hatch]

Hi. How I can said a state is neighbor of a country?
I try this with Moselland and France, but return no (false):
42 = { is_neighbor_of = ROOT } # 42 is Moselland, ROOT here is FRA (France)

[graceful finch]

There should be a Russian civil war mod

[quick latch]

1. Change the description to a localisation string
2. Put the whole in text one line, use \n instead of paragraphs

[lethal steppe]

well finally cracked map cosmetics, uses parts of bits here and there:

[quick latch]

Try this:

also for the love of god please use tabs instead of spaces and use proper indention

[quick latch]

formable nations are just cosmetic tags and extra cores

[quick latch]

What?

You want to check if a state is a neighbor of a certain country?

[high hatch]

Yes. I found this to fix:

any_neighbor_state = {
is_controlled_by = ROOT
}
}```

[quick latch]

Why did you write the code like that? Why not like this?:

42 = {
    any_neighor_state = {
        is_controlled_by = ROOT
    }
}

You might even want to check if FRA owns and controls the state

[high hatch]

In my case, not ^^'.
About the code, just forget to do tabulation when I write here ^^'.

[quick latch]

ah

Is there a way to add the "can_be_parachuted" tag to a battalion through an effect?

[lofty plaza]

To a specific unit? No.

How about to the battalion itself, thus affecting all units that have it?

or is that also impossible

Hey everyone I'm finally looking to start playing hoi4 after all these years and I'm looking for realistic historical overhauls

I've heard bad things about BICE and RT56 so I'm looking at darkest hour atm

Does anyone have recommendations?

[slender brook]

What bad things have you heard about RT56?

[long venture]

I heard that it's unfocused and is mainly for alt history paths

[slender brook]

I haven't heard those specific complaints before

There's a reason it's the most popular mod, is what I'll say

Old World Blues has an interesting world but has balance issues

Id get a cheat mod to fix peace deals too, and any graphic mods you might like

How to make a music mod?

as in

add custom radio stations

thought of making Kaiserreich Music Mod but in Vanilla

so same songs but it actually works

if someone could give a tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated

as in also

certain songs play only when you play a specific country

[obtuse condor]

Where I live Hitler face isn't censored. I mean when i play a clean game i can see Hitler portrait but when I use my mod his face gets darkened. Do you know how I can solve the problem?

Outdated

has to be made at the very least in September 2022

[quick latch]

works fine

[arctic garnet]

nah

[quick latch]

It does

[arctic garnet]

2021 too early

[quick latch]

Used it last week

[arctic garnet]

at least at 2022

[quick latch]

Worked fine

[arctic garnet]

any tutorial that isn't made in 2022 or 2023 is outdated for me

[quick latch]

for you, not for anyone else

[arctic garnet]

when i created the mod file, it didn't even have the descriptor file

@quick latch how i get that

[quick latch]

Should automatically generate

[arctic garnet]

last time it did not for some reason

not discord

the server

im on server where i can freely say the f word

[quick latch]

not related to the conversation

[arctic garnet]

did not really f up

did everything that was supposed to be done

[quick latch]

create another mod, it should be there

[quiet escarp]

lets not bypass the filter :)

[copper pond]

can the great war mod work on version 1.12.1?

[spiral flax]

Hello
which mod allows me to play during WW1?

[quick latch]

"The Great War". There's also a Redux version but I don't know what changes.

Depends on opinion, tho mine (overhaul mods) are:

• The New Order: Last Days of Europe
• Red Flood
• Kaiserreich (non-redux version)

[lofty plaza]

It's a expansion

The original has been barely updated since like 2019 or so, it's only really kept up-to-date for modern versions but not much new added.

[naive mantle]

does anyone know how to change what states a country starts with?

say i wanted germany to control danzig

how would i do that

[naive mantle]

the great war redux

don’t play the original version, it’s very old

redux is still getting content updates too

[safe plank]

is it just for me or is the millennium dawn mod taken down?

[naive mantle]

no it’s there

[spiral flax]

which one?

[naive mantle]

first

by J12

[spiral flax]

ty

[naive mantle]

yes yes yes

im trying to make an interwar period mod 😎

[naive mantle]

oh baby

[quick latch]

Don't think the Weimarer Republik was ever this big

[slender brook]

It was only that size for a very small time between the collapse of the German Empire and the Treaty of Versailles

[crisp radish]

What are some mods that add small features but are great

[naive mantle]

ez new state

just need to move that danish division

i forgot memel lol

[naive mantle]

yes yes yes

👎

[real storm]

As a German that would be nice and epic

[real storm]

What mod you using to transfer borders?

[naive mantle]

i would usually use the state transfer tool, but i just used the command console that time

[real storm]

Oh ok

[high hatch]

Just in case, Saarbrucken/Sartre was independent but protectorate.

[lethal steppe]

@lofty plaza how feasible is it to make a graphical mod that displays land forts as icons on the map, similar to previous versions of Hearts of Iron?

[naive mantle]

yes

🙏

oh thats not good

nah ez fix

[pale sparrow]

Isnt that too small?

[naive mantle]

like the tile?

it probably is, but im not gonna mess around with them

[pale sparrow]

Nvm actually, the Saarland was that small

Almost

[naive mantle]

oh

much better

now i need to completely change the rhine states 😀

you know what, thats a job for tomorrow

[rain aurora]

a good start to my mod? (it isn't about Serbia, its about Croatia but I am planning to add a Serbian and Slovenian focus tree)

mod is basicly "What if Croatia never declared independance in the form of State SHS but a fully independant Croatia during WW1"

[lofty plaza]

Icon on the map? Wdym?

[lethal steppe]

you know how the airports are icons on the map?

something similar with forts, so you don't need to have 3D buildings on to see if there are forts in a territory

but can be seen by all nations, not just the player who put them down

[lofty plaza]

Not sure to be honest

I would say it's probably possible

[lethal steppe]

what would i need to look into to consider making such a mod?

[obtuse condor]

what mod is that

[wheat topaz]

how do i make new states?

[obtuse condor]

how do i fix

or am i doing this wrong

tbh idk what im doing at all

[quick latch]

If you want to make a province smaller / divide it into smaller pieces, you'd have to modify the one texture file with every province I think
(Never did anything like that tho)

afaik there's a program that can edit the map for you but I neither know where you can find it nor how it's called

So you can’t start resistance if they already got it

bracket issues here

i think

am i putting the wrong brackets

Put a } on the line after add_core_of = DEN

And remove the one at the end of the code block
