still issues here

[lofty plaza]

Don't need that bracket after owner = DEN

[thin chasm]

Remove the } after owner = DEN, add it again after add_core_of = DEN

[wheat topaz]

ok

[lofty plaza]

.

[wheat topaz]

btw how do i edit/add my own provinces

[thin chasm]

Nudge tool, and a bit of knowhow on how the Nudge tool works

[lofty plaza]

Paint it on the map in provinces.bmp

[wheat topaz]

ik how to make states

[lofty plaza]

Or do you add a province to the state?

[wheat topaz]

i dont think nudge can make provinces

[lofty plaza]

.

[wheat topaz]

alr ty

[thin chasm]

Not directly no, but you still need the knowhow

I'd recommend checking out The Iron Workshop's video on map modding in the pins

Good starter, at least

[lofty plaza]

I don't use nudge

I do pretty much everything manually

[thin chasm]

Good on you, but not everybody is the lead dev on one of the top 10 HOI4 mods

[lofty plaza]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChtwJzN9cpw

[wheat topaz]

true

[pale sparrow]

Even more reason to not use nudge

If youre doing small edits I especially wouldnt use the nudge tool

[wheat topaz]

im making a few small new states

for the historical immersion

[lofty plaza]

My point being is that you're better off not relying on it

[pale sparrow]

If you arent changing provinces thats fairly easy

[lofty plaza]

There should still be one in your crash file

[wheat topaz]

[lofty plaza]

Okay, have you made sure that the province you took to make this new state still isn't a part of the old one

[wheat topaz]

You didn't assign 4 provinces to a strategic region

That'll do it

[wheat topaz]

ah

[lofty plaza]

Seems like a bit of an omission

[wheat topaz]

how do i do it

[lofty plaza]

Assign the province to the appropriate strategic region

[thin chasm]

map/strategicregions/

[wheat topaz]

ty

[thin chasm]

Also, are you launching the game in debug mode?

I'm assuming it crashed for you last time because you were launching the game normally

[wheat topaz]

where is province 400

i found 405 not 400

[wheat topaz]

idk how to launch in debug mode

i cant find no damn province 400

and it still crashes

found it nvm

was not in the state files

welp

still crashed

and no error log

i updated the files in the drive can someone check what's wrong again, i'm 99% sure i assigned everything

[thin chasm]

If you have a desktop shortcut for the game, right click and go to "Properties", and where it says "Target", add "-debug" to the end of the line

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\hoi4.exe" -debug

For example

[wheat topaz]

steam://rungameid/394360

it's set to that

like this?

[thin chasm]

Go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\, right click on hoi4.exe, and click "Create shortcut"

Take that new shortcut and move it to the desktop or where, and repeat the "-debug" thing mentioned previously on that

[wheat topaz]

omg

I'm playing new ways rn and I can't find much or any information on any of the Xinjiang warlords apart from Sheng shical and ma hushan

No information given on Kashi, Aertai or Hami and their leaders, well apart from Hami but it isn't supposed to be there since it got subjugated 6 years before the game is set.

[balmy hedge]

Hello people, I am rather new to modding HOI4. Just trying to make a mod where I am tweaking different things here and there. I have some experience with modding other games (Skyrim, BFME). I have a question regarding common/units/infantry.txt file. There is "infantry" subunit there and that unit has "active = no". If this unit correspond to the basic infantry troops that you have in your divisions from the start of the game, why it has set "active = no", where it gets unlocked and why it is not set to active = yes from the start. If it does not correspond to the basic infantry, where is the basic infantry units are described.

I have another question: After looking into the game files, it seems that the attack stats are defined by the equipment that is used by a unit. This means that special force units would have same attack stats as regular infantry? And if I want to give them a better stats from the game start, I would need to add a new infantry equipment type to the game that will be used by SP?

[arctic garnet]

Could some1 help me with this rn?

with adding the files into the text file

plz

[fathom spindle]

political advisor works as intended, but the other 3 do not. any idea how to fix this?

[lofty plaza]

They may not work on modifier

[fathom spindle]

oh

how do i add them then? i did not see it anywhere

[lofty plaza]

I don't know if you can

[fathom spindle]

weird. how do countries like estonia do it then?

[lofty plaza]

Not sure, to be honest

Seems good to me

[fathom spindle]

found it

[wanton veldt]

Does anyone knows any mods that adds more generals for Brazil?

Or one that adds Field Marshals

Such a shame that Brazil only features two general models

[lethal steppe]

@lofty plaza I can't remember if I asked you this, but are achievements with a map mod possible if nothing else has been altered apart from graphics?

[naive mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-HKNRUYF7M

thats what i used, it works really well

also i forgot if he covers it or not but dont forget to add like infrastructure

theres nothing wrong if you dont btw

[naive mantle]

i found a little bug where the name for rhineland and moselland are swapped around

see the state id

but in the files, 51 is moselland

confused me a lot when i was adding a new state

[naive mantle]

actually theres a lot of those

maybe its on purpose

[pale sparrow]

When they added new states they mightve not changed filenames, despite them now being inaccurate

[naive mantle]

true

its coming together nicely

[naive mantle]

i made a state that kinda looks like china

[pale sparrow]

Chicken wing

[lofty plaza]

A dog sitting

[thin chasm]

I'm particularly fond of some of the file names for the states in Central Siberia/East Asia

Someone ran out of steam somewhere, so they have names like Sov state 3.txt and China 5.txt

[naive mantle]

is it possible to make a state modifier that only affects a certain country?

[rough thicket]

link to kaiserredux please

anyone

steam

[naive mantle]

just look on the workshop

[rough thicket]

i did

i dont think this one with chinese letters is the one im looking for

[naive mantle]

most stable balkans

[naive mantle]

when you accidentally delete game files

im so happy validating files exists

[slender brook]

Fr I used to think 3 hours to reinstall a game was a short amount of time

[pale sparrow]

Tbh verifying can also take ages

[lethal steppe]

now that there's been an update, how do we update our mods?

[dapper wadi]

can someone help me with my custom nation?

[slender brook]

Entirely depends on what the update changes and what your mod does

Many mods will probably need to change absolutely nothing besides a version number

[lethal steppe]

so just update this number for each mod, and re-uplaod it?

[slender brook]

Uh, depends on whether the update changed anything relevant to them

But for most mods yeah you would just hit the upload button again

But you don't need to manually change it

[lethal steppe]

ok let me see

[slender brook]

Just go through the upload process on Paradox Launcher and click the circular arrow button and it should automatically give it the right number

[lofty plaza]

For 3GB?

[slender brook]

Not HOI4, it was TF2. Which is like 20gb granted, but I was used to like 12 hours

Actually hold on it was 5 hours that I considered fast

[dapper wadi]

what do a custom nation needs

like focus trees, etc?

[honest eagle]

I would do a focus tree, land, flag, leaders, units, etc

[high hatch]

(Re)Hi. I have a question.
It is a bug in modding we have different result between our mod local and the mod you post on Steam by example, even if they have exactly the same thing? For example, I do a translation submod for a mod but only my local submod work, not my version on Steam. I don’t know why, even when I put dependencies.

[pale sparrow]

you cannot have the steam and local version of your mod installed at the same time, itll confuse the launcher/game and usually means the Steam version won't load

[lethal steppe]

when making new division template icons, what is the maximum number? 999?

[trail peak]

Is it possible that HOI4 developers would change the way how localisation works, so that players could dynamically change their country names (like in CK3, or/and with naming colonies/client states in EU4)? I think it could greatly improve players roleplay experience

[honest eagle]

Test it out lol

[honest eagle]

That would be cool

You should see if you can make it into some kind of mod

[trail peak]

I asked a bunch of people about this issue, but all they said is that localisation of countries and regions in HOI4 is static (which means that any localisation changes have to be preprogrammed in order to be able to be changed, and dynamic country naming with keyboard is not possible)

The developers would need to change how the game gets names for countries and states in order to let players change states and countries\ names with custom names written after launch

[honest eagle]

Yeah that’s true

Idk that would be cool but unlikely sadly

[trail peak]

I'm not familiar with Clausewitz engine used by Paradox, but if they were able to make this happen in CK3 and EU4, it should be also possible to be done in HOI4. People would just need to voice their need for this QoL feature.

[honest eagle]

True idk

It seems like it’s a bit unnecessary

[trail peak]

many current game features are unnecessary, but they are still present

[honest eagle]

Like?

[trail peak]

QoLs generally are unnecessary, but if you implement them in huge numbers they greatly improve game experience

[trail peak]

Features implemented by DLCs, like Espionage, lend lease, custom game ruleset, etc.

[honest eagle]

Those are all things they were in the real world besides custom game set that’s just for extra customization

[trail peak]

like also possibility to change country names by players

[honest eagle]

Like the US lend leased a lot, ignoring it isn’t a good idea

[trail peak]

but it could have been easily implemented by decisions or/and ingame events

some mods do it

all I want to say is that HOI4 is a great platform for roleplaying, with mods such as Kaiserreich or for example Old World Blues

and feature like custom nation naming (or even something like custom nation creator from eu4) could greatly expand roleplaying experience

I even believe that huge part of HoI4 community still plays this game due to mods and mp/mods roleplay

vanilla after some time just becomes repetitive

If the developers were interested in extending the life of hoi4 among its community, an increase in the number of tools and roleplaying options would certainly have a positive impact on this

I'm absolutely sure of that

[honest eagle]

Yes

[honest eagle]

I’m just saying it’s unlikely for paradox to do it

[honest eagle]

That’s really tacky and makes it more difficult to manage then the custom menu

[honest eagle]

imo not having the feature won’t kill the community

But to each their own I suppose

It’s definitely a cool idea tho

[trail peak]

of course it won't, but it would be something nice to have

I disable my local version to test the Steam version, in case.

[pale sparrow]

Not sufficient, you have to remove it from the folder and move it somewhere else

[pale sparrow]

Not sure but its a fairly easy fix

[wheat topaz]

i have no clue what it means

do 2 air zones have the same provinces assigned?

[pale sparrow]

No but all provinces of a state need to be in the same airzone

[wheat topaz]

ah ok

ty

[high hatch]

I will test that.

[wheat topaz]

help

i halved the errors but there r still a lot

can someone explain it all to me cuz idk what half the stuff means

[pale sparrow]

🤟 ey you use my mod

[pale sparrow]

the building file needs both state and province number in its entries, which easily breaks

Any new states also need a province set where their airport will spawn, same with rocket sites

[wheat topaz]

what

[pale sparrow]

top 4 lines are from toolpack

[wheat topaz]

what building file

[pale sparrow]

map/buildings.txt

[wheat topaz]

1 sec

alr found it

wtf is this file

[pale sparrow]

I think it has to do with the 3D positions of buildings

when you zoom into the map

[wheat topaz]

ah

ok

i'll fix that with nudger

how do i make nudger directly modify the mod files

instead of making a seperate folder

cuz it's hard to manage nudger files and mod files together

[pale sparrow]

dont think you can

I dont use nudger though

[high hatch]

Thanks you, is work now.

[wheat topaz]

what do u use then

[pale sparrow]

[obtuse condor]

So Im making my own mod and as Im new to it started with a template but the mod I want to use as a template removes nation boosting I have got it so I can move the slider up and down and add nations but no effects are done how do I fix this?

I have no clue about the modding thing about the game, I don't know how the weather works

[wanton veldt]

How does a music mod changes the main menu theme song?

I'd like to delete that line of code to keep the default main menu theme

But can't find it anywhere within the mod files

[quick latch]

Usually the actual audio file gets overridden.
Can't do that much about it.

[wanton veldt]

Do you know it's name?

[valid apex]

Should be in dlc file

[cinder thorn]

so im trying to make a simple coruption system that can be reduced via decisions

but i have no idea where to start if someone could help me that be awsomne

[granite oak]

I can't run RT56, I just installed it and it says map definition error. Yes, I deleted cache, RT56 is the only mod I enabled, I verified file integrity by comparing it to a normal vanilla install of hoi4

I downloaded it from paradox plazay.

I have all DLCs

[valid apex]

do you mean Strengthen in the custom modify

[hushed lagoon]

how can i use MapGen to make new areas

[worn dirge]

Hello, I'm "kinda new" (500 hours ish) to the game. Are there any mods thats based around the height of the cold war (1950-1970) era? Something similar to Millenium Dawn?

[chilly field]

How would I make an event that when hre is formed, the event fires and basically changes the leader to Otto

Von Habsburg

Like “Otto Von Habsburg demands the the title of holy Roman emperor” and if you say no Victoria stay as the leader but if you say no Otto becomes the leader

[neat turret]

maybe some know, im creating VP, on the max zoom up the city work but when i scroll down the city is not visible

[neat turret]

other cities work but capital no

[obtuse condor]

Yo how do I get palpetines gamble to work? What game version should I be using?

[pale sparrow]

never heard of

[obtuse condor]

i keep on crashing because i messed up assigning provinces or whatever, but it wont show that in the error log, how to fix? or am i looking in the wrong error log

[valid apex]

It could be that you didn't validate and random in states

[lofty plaza]

Crash log?

[obtuse condor]

pardon? no offense but it looks like you had a stroke writing that

[obtuse condor]

had nothing about provinces being screwed up

[lofty plaza]

How do you know that is the issue then

[obtuse condor]

because thats all i changed since it was working

[lofty plaza]

So what did you change specifically

[obtuse condor]

im trying to change provinces around in kaiserredux so that the states all go along the river in the middle of germany, but i messed something up

also i found the error, i think, idk if it matters but one province id wasnt in numerical order from smallest to largest

[lofty plaza]

That wouldn't be it

[obtuse condor]

oh

[lofty plaza]

It's possible you just have conflicts somewhere

Like two states have a province in it

But I know very little detail so I couldn't tell you for sure

[obtuse condor]

nah i double checked, i even did a small province transfer and it crashed

[rugged kiln]

does anyone here know anything about bookmark modding (the 1936 and 1939 start) I have a question regarding my mod.

[lofty plaza]

Go on

[rugged kiln]

so basically I edited the defines.lua like I was supposed to. Then I edited the starting date in the coming storm scenario file. I opened the game to test it and alot of the state ownership was messed up. (I had reassigned states to different countries). I realized it was because I had set the start date to 2016 and since the game was starting post 1939 countries would own territories that they would own in the blitzkrieg scenario (for example, italy owning Ethiopia). Im trying to find a way that the game could start in 2016 without overwriting the state ownership I had assigned

[lofty plaza]

You would need to change the ownership depending on the start date. Eastern Chinese states are a good example on how to do this.

[rugged kiln]

I just went into the history files and changed the ownership from there. Was there something about a start date in there that I missed or is it in a different file?

[rich sinew]

Hi, I am trying to mod that disables supply via rivers, I am stumped since I do not know what else to do since setting the river rail level to 0 does nothing

[naive mantle]

anyone know how to change the leaders of existing countries (such as france)? ive done create_country_leader in the FRA - France.txt file but it dosent seem to do anything, unless i need to change it somewhere else too?

[naive mantle]

nvm i got it

[arctic garnet]

how can I fix this?

it didn't add all the songs I wanted

even tho they show there

hello?

like it added some of them

but some of them are just 00:00

and never play

how can I fix that issue?

Is it issue with OneDrive being full?

[pale sparrow]

possibly, just dont enable onedrive, ez

[arctic garnet]

how to disable it bruh

ok nvm

odne

done

Nope still only half of the songs I added are present

how can Ifix that issue?`

[arctic garnet]

like some songs are like th9is

how to fix it

The problem is here

[sharp laurel]

Is it possible to have data rounded to one decimal place instead of rounding to an integer?

round_variable rounds to an integer.

[sly basalt]

Is there a mod that lets me have achievements even if I use cheats?

[arctic garnet]

and fr I added all the songs, I did everything I was supposed to do correctly, but it doesn't work

How can I fix it?

[dapper wadi]

help.

ps : im trying to make a custom map

[arctic garnet]

helo?

[dapper wadi]

urgh what now

[lofty plaza]

You delete it?

[arctic garnet]

how can I fix this issue?

[dapper wadi]

im making mod...

ofcourse

[dapper wadi]

bruh

[lofty plaza]

You're not supposed to outright delete it

[dapper wadi]

the only fun part of modding is focus tree gfx

[dapper wadi]

wym

[arctic garnet]

@lofty plaza can ya help me with this?

As in

it shows that it's there but it doesn't play or show in the playlist

[obtuse condor]

They updated Endsieg?

[pale sparrow]

I dont think so, Endsieg is discontinued

they made a new project, which then was also outdated

[obtuse condor]

yeah primo victoria

but

i just checked endsiegs workshop page

and it said last updated 17 may

(2023)

[pale sparrow]

Oh yeh they updated finally

[lofty plaza]

I cannot no

[arctic garnet]

ok

Thank yo

I still kinda need help but if ya can't help then fine

[runic elk]

I've been experiencing crashing with my mod, I've talk to the HoI4 modding den and they couldn't help so i'm hoping for help here.

[pale sparrow]

Anything in error.txt?

[runic elk]

no

[obtuse condor]

just noticed they updated primo victoria aswell

[runic elk]

Is there any other information you need to help?

[pale sparrow]

aside from showing the mod there isnt anything useful

[runic elk]

Well then can we? I'd like the help to fix it if you are fine with doing so.

[rugged kiln]

Sorry to bother you again but could you answer my question from the message after this please. I’m kinda lost

[viscid badge]

anyone know if there are any up to date versions of endsieg? Tried doing the whole rollback the version of the game using steam console business but it kept not working

[arctic garnet]

I still have the problem iwht music modding

only halfthe songs appear on the playlist when I turn on the radiostation

I would like to know what I am doing wrong

[rain aurora]

am i allowed to lets say "advertise" the mod that I am working alone on here
just started making few days ago

[runic elk]

Do you mind me doing that by sending you the mod?

[pale sparrow]

Feel free to

[dusky rampart]

need ideas for a communist sweden path this is currently all i have

compared to the interventionalist path

[brisk turtle]

Am i allowed to offer spelling/grammar corrections? There are a couple things i noticed

[dusky rampart]

sure go ahead lol

[brisk turtle]

Okay first, Univerities ends with "ies", not "ys", just like salaries.
Im pretty sure you also mispelled Comintern (i think it ends with n not m, not 100% sure though)
Finally, some words like plant in Rare Minerals plant should be capitalized

[dusky rampart]

Alright i will fix those

[pastel crater]

Yo who here is a burgundy enjoyer (TNO)

[dusky rampart]

thank you for telling me

[brisk turtle]

No problem, im good at spotting stuff like that

At least i asked before going correction mode for once, lol

[naive mantle]

does anyone know what local_supplies does in a state file?

id assume its supply hubs but im not sure

the line at the bottom for reference

[dapper wadi]

zamn

[quick latch]

When playing, open the supply map mode.
There you can see a state's supply.

[naive mantle]

how do i add supply hubs

[quick latch]

Edit buildings.txt

[nimble solar]

Replace exile the royal family with "fate of the royal family" like the other communist paths so you can pick between chill or die hard communism.

[lofty plaza]

How much supply the state gives by default

[obtuse condor]

Im trying to replace the main menu music in a mod (kaiserredux) but everytime i do that the game completely bricks, anything else i need to do other than changing this one line?

[clear shale]

Do you have a separate economic/tech tree? You could add some tech bonuses before the peoples university

[clear shale]

I think you gotta define the music file? I’ll find a video and time stamp for you

[clear shale]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWUhe70ue6A go to like 7:17

[quaint heart]

Remember leftist infighting

Something like, “To Moscow we go!”
Something like, “The Swedish Revolution”
Something like, “Swedish Democracy”

first path has an alliance with the soviets, soviet investment (like german focuses), research saving, alliance, and diplomatic focuses to seize control of Scandinavia with the exception of invading Finland

second path involves an attack on literally everyone being super duper antagonistic, you spread the revolution to scandinavia, either choose to secretly collaborate with the germans or end up at war with them defensively (hate of communism) and war with the soviets over Finland (maybe war with allies as well?)

social democracy allows you to join the allies as a socialist state allowing for allied investment, peaceful unification of scandanavia, and invading the USSR to liberate fins/baltic peoples

[obtuse condor]

ok thank you very much

[quaint heart]

(saying this theoretically, correct it to match up with actual swedish ideology)

[naive mantle]

im trying to create a new leader for the uk but i cant get the image to show up, can anyone see where i went wrong?

the image path is correct btw

[slender brook]

Missing a "

[naive mantle]

where

oh i see

lets see if that works

[naive mantle]

it worked, thank you so much

its always the "" or {}

[naive mantle]

what the hell did i stumble upon

[keen cloak]

https://i.redd.it/e4g5dghrgf181.jpg

[naive mantle]

wtf

how do i get this

in game

ive never seen anyone do it

[keen cloak]

you can't

[naive mantle]

unless its impossible

oh

[keen cloak]

It's just there as an easter egg

get Chamberlain'd

[naive mantle]

zamn

[keen cloak]

I've been replacing portraits slowly for a few days now

started with UK

they're my most played nation atm

[naive mantle]

how to graphic

[keen cloak]

I find the image I want in the internet
I run palette.fm to get a rough colorization
I move it to Clip Studio paint and make a cut out of the image
I put the cut out on Hearts of Iron 4's portrait background, scaling it down in the process
I get rid of the rough edges by running the eraser around the image
I use Clip Studio Paint's Tonal Correction settings to adjust the colors and fix any problems like those white parts in old images you'd see often in old movies
That's it

[naive mantle]

is there like a tutorial or something i can follow?

like on youtube?

cuz rn im just taking photos from google 💀

[keen cloak]

sure but those are typically for painting the image yourself, I kinda went the easy way by making palette.fm give me the colorized version 💀

Clip Studio Paint must be one of my best purchases so far even though it cost me my entire bank balance as a student when I bought it 50% off

if anyone is looking for it, here's the leader portrait background

this might be because I am blind but I wasn't able to find it in the gfx folder so I searched around

[naive mantle]

i know its in the files somewhere

yeah

look how beautiful it is

[dapper wadi]

kolchak

[fallow ingot]

How do you center/move the bookmarks/start dates?

[pale sparrow]

Start in debug mode, then use ` on the bookmark menu

It'll show the GUI elements and you can try edit them to be center

[fallow ingot]

k thanks

[fallow ingot]

Any idea of i can remove the 1939 date?

[fallow kraken]

was there a change to how civil wars work?

at least script wise i mean

[slender brook]

I don't believe so

[fallow kraken]

ah lol seems like the update changed the state numbers and if it cant set the capital it wont fire anything at all

[iron flume]

I have a question- with Mods like 'ideology matters' and 'faction distance limiter', I had the idea of asking you guys - y'know who mod, if it would be possible to give Individual factions their own modiffier on who can join it.

like chinese minors are the only ones who can join the... 'chinese united front'

[obtuse condor]

I’m thinking about playing an alt history mod for hoi4 that is not Kaiserreich nor Furherreich. Any recommendations?

[rain aurora]

what if ottomans won ww1

[obtuse condor]

Link in workshop?

[rain aurora]

oh sorry

i read it wrong

i thought you asked for ideas to make a mod

[obtuse condor]

That’s still a great idea though

But do you have any recommendations?

[rain aurora]

idk

if the mod i'm working on was somewhere near finished it would be great

[obtuse condor]

You are making a mod?

[rain aurora]

yep

[obtuse condor]

What is it about?

[rain aurora]

"What if Serbia got its Greater Serbia idea and Croatia was left on a third of its land"

but primary focus is on Croatia

i'll probably make Serbia and Slovenia also

i can send you a link if you want to see it

i'm also doing it completely alone and its the first mod i'm ever doing

[obtuse condor]

So basically Serbia builds an empire rather than a slavic nation?

[rain aurora]

yea, but i am so sorry to be that guy but it wasnt serbia who built yugoslavia

[dusky rampart]

thank you

[dusky rampart]

yes i do

[dusky rampart]

done

[obtuse condor]

Can you?

[runic elk]

I've been crashing often with my mod, can anyone help?

[spiral oxide]

Are there any genocide mods?

[rain aurora]

ayo

[spiral oxide]

So is there any?

[rain aurora]

idk

[obtuse condor]

Why?

[spiral oxide]

just wanted to play a more historical mod

[bright hedge]

no hidden cravings nope

[pale sparrow]

[proven brook]

anyone have suggestions on a mod

i want one where i can be china but i want it unified

like 1945 except im at war

[wicked forge]

Hello I am working on a mod and I was hoping someone might know how to get the AI to build supply hubs

[wicked goblet]

how do i get the present day countries mod? I am a new player

[pale sparrow]

Go to the Steam workshop and filter on top subscribed

[stuck quarry]

having a slight issue with steam mods

so i made a mod and i uploaded it and all its files to steam

im subscribed to it and it exists in my mods folder for steam and it shows in the launcher

however it doesnt seem to actually load the mod despite it being enabled in the launcher

my local version of the mod works just fine but the one i have subscribed from steam just launches vanilla, any idea what i need to do to fix it, ive never encountered this issue so i dont know what to do

[naive mantle]

this is giving me a massive headache, any time i try to create a new state from the van state, van just disappears every time

and if i try to modify the van state file by just excluding the provinces i took out, the game crashes and it says that all the provinces in van are not assigned to a state

[quaint heart]

If your doing my paths, I’d say it should either change depending on your political path (Swedish Democracy keeps it alive) or having a mostly merged together political tree for items such as wargoals (obviously still changes depending on ideology)

[obtuse condor]

@rain aurora

[rain aurora]

i sent you in dm

[wanton veldt]

I noticed some mods come in zip files, should I extract them or leave them as they are?

[lofty plaza]

You may want to re-think what you're asking mate.

[pale sparrow]

If you're working on a mod, you cannot have the Steam and local version installed at the same time under the same name. It usually leads to the Steam version not loading, but there might be other issues as well.

[stuck quarry]

oh i wasnt aware of that, thanks

[dusky rampart]

its a bit too late for me to do that but i will try that when i do the other nordics

[wicked forge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2978033906 Hey guys just released my new mod. meant to equalize the game more. Would appreciate any input if you have any. Check it out in this mod

every nation starts with 0 technology researched
upgraded to 7 research tabs
0 units
0 air
0 navy
0 railroads

[sweet mason]

Does the ai even build railroads?

[lofty plaza]

They may if their supply is lackluster

I don't see them so it very often however

[rustic void]

hey im new to making mods, is there a good area or playlist that i can go to for a basic mod-making guide

[tepid cave]

is there a way to generate decisions for each country. something like this?

puppets_decisions = {
    
    
    for_each_scope_loop = {
        array = subjects
        
        test = {
            available = {
                num_subjects > 0
            }

            visible = {
                always = yes
            }

            fire_only_once = no
            cost = 75
            
            complete_effect = {
                log = [THIS.getName]
            }
        }
    }
}

[wicked forge]

ai builds railroads but they do not make supply hubs

[slender brook]

I still can’t believe they made supply hubs twice as expensive as a consumer factory

[stuck quarry]

so about ideologies, can i change the party name based on which sub ideology the leader has?

so like neutrality has this, could i have a different party name for each type

[slender brook]

I don’t think so

[stuck quarry]

aw thats a shame

[quaint heart]

other scandi nations shouldn’t be copy paste

don’t do a baltics

or at least give each nation a custom path

Denmark should obvs have a tree more related to Germany

[slender brook]

I mean, the Baltics have unique focus trees where it counts

Like shared industry trees are fine because at the of the day industry is mostly just make more factories

[wicked forge]

my mod addresses this. I amde a mod realistic construction and took from that mod and added it to this

[pale sparrow]

If you have allowed be always = yes then that is already the case

[azure fern]

been asking for 4 days now, anyone know how to fix this or is it not fixable?

[slender brook]

What is the effect?

[pliant reef]

does anyone have a mod that still works. that allows anarchist spain to ally with people

[pale sparrow]

You could use my cheat mod for this

[azure fern]

it’s just something that gives infrastructure in some states, before i complete it, it shows the effect but after i complete it it doesn’t show

[obtuse condor]

ok so i made a country and neither its name shows up nor does the state i made for it have a proper name

like wtf is this

[lofty plaza]

You need to localise it

[obtuse condor]

i did

but for some unknown reason the game doesnt use the localization

[dusky rampart]

ik wasnt my plan also im only giving focus trees to countries that dont have them and -or sorta reworking old one ie. changing more focus's in france's tree to 35 days so it doesnt take forever to do one thing

[obtuse condor]

wait who are the leaders of other parties then?

[steel elk]

The corporatist fascist being mr krabs

Sandy being in charge of the democratic party

King Neptune ruling the neutrality party

[obtuse condor]

oh ok

[stuck quarry]

Probably a stupid question but is there a way to limit what ideologies a country can have, so say i make a custom ideology for a country i make name it so only that country could use it

[dapper ermine]

I dont think so, just remove boosting ideologies if you dont want some countries turning into some ideologies

[quaint heart]

you better double the focuses then

[obtuse condor]

how do i add location

and also how do i remove national spirit with focus

[edgy solar]

you add a location for buildings by adding the state number with { } brackets before the add_building_construction
example

and to remove ideas you do

remove_ideas = your_idea

[obtuse condor]

ok

[lofty plaza]

Poor indentation

[edgy solar]

did i say or put something wrong?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[edgy solar]

oh I didnt know that was a thing you could do wrong

[ocean prairie]

Can you make a global string variable in hoi4? That works behind the scenes?

[obtuse condor]

how do i make focuses mutually available

[pale sparrow]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/National_Focus_modding

[pale sparrow]

What do you want it for?

[obtuse condor]

didnt work

wait

if i already have a factory in the state do i ahve to make it level 2

[tranquil venture]

Hey guys!
Is there any way to adding commander after national focus?

[bronze otter]

idk modding makes me want to kms

[tranquil venture]

i have same feeling

[bronze otter]

but you are persevering

i tried for 3 days

and it didnt work

well

i have literally hundreds of ideas for countries and stuff

so i am trying to spring before i can crawl

i mean sprint

i would be good as an idea giver

[dusky rampart]

Ill see what i can do

[ocean prairie]

like for example taking a generals name and name a country leader after this general.

[slender brook]

recruit_character

[pale sparrow]

Why not make the general also the country leader

[slender brook]

Yeah leaders can have multiple roles

[pale sparrow]

Just not of the same type

[tepid cave]

does anyone know what the interesting countries UI is called in the files?

[thin chasm]

localisation/[language]/bookmarks_l_[language].yml

[proven brook]

is there a mod where i can create my own country?

or like

for example one of those where i can be anarchist

[worldly pagoda]

is there any mod that allows you to spend pp for extra buildings slots, like in vanilla but an expanded and cheaper version of that

[slate latch]

uh whenever i try bokoen mod

it crashes

[obtuse condor]

how do i force a civil war with a focus

like not on my counntry but on a different one

with my focus

like a coup or something

[nimble solar]

If you have la resistance:

Put spies in the country and build intel network
Use propaganda to lower country stability if needed
Realize that it is really hard to coup with la resistance

[obtuse condor]

bruh

no

with a focus

custom focus

[tepid cave]

is there a way to level ideas without using if statements to check for each level?

[tepid cave]

also running a scripted effect from within an on action isnt working

[dapper wadi]

might wanna try -debug

[slate latch]

and do what

[dapper wadi]

Wdym

[slate latch]

like the mod doesn't even load

[hollow summit]

Does anyone know why the name is all screwed up? The localization file works fine for other countries, but not Baja California. It's supposed to say "Baja Californian blah blah blah" instead of "BJcanian blah blah blah" or "Bjcaine". I think those errors are because I used Ukraine's localization for it, but I checked the localization file (multiple times) and it's still not fixed. PLEASE HELP

I can send the localization file if y'all need it

[tranquil venture]

how does it work?

[slender brook]

Well you create a character and then you recruit them, just like in the history files

[tranquil venture]

ok, Thanks!

[fast onyx]

what font mod is this? because i know its not from the cold war: iron curtain mod

[pale sparrow]

TNO UI mod?

I assume its a custom font

[fast onyx]

yeah that’s what i’ve thought of

[wintry cargo]

hey guys

i am trying to play a mod that it says it was created for version 1.12.11

and i cant play it

[fast onyx]

but which?

[ocean prairie]

no for example you create a new general (random name) and then there is a decision where you can make (random name) the leader of some country with the same name and stuff.

[pale sparrow]

From TNO I assume

[wintry cargo]

hey @pale sparrow

could u help me start this mod if youre not busy?

[fast onyx]

no

its not TNO

its from the Cold War mod

I mean its the cold war mod, but it doesnt use that font

[quick latch]

completion_reward = {
    XXX = { # XXX -> country tag
        start_civil_war = { ... }
    }
}

[sharp laurel]

What's the difference with "unit_ratio", "role_ratio'?

[obtuse condor]

and ... is ideology right?

[quick latch]

read the wiki

[obtuse condor]

bruh

[quick latch]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect#start_civil_war

[pastel crater]

That's not the TNO font

I play TNO all the time
never seen that

[obtuse condor]

ok so

my country's name isnt showing up

[pastel crater]

Bicycle infantry

Noice

[obtuse condor]

real

nor does the custom state have a name

i have localization files before you ask

i added it

i need help

[pale sparrow]

I dont, so didnt know

[pastel crater]

what

[pale sparrow]

Typo

[obtuse condor]

how do i fix

it says state 909 instead of the name i assigned it

im making a meme mod btw

and also my country name doesnt show up

i have localizations

[junior owl]

how do you make kaiserreich elections where instead of the outright results of the election it fires an event?

[pale sparrow]

If elections are enabled you fire an event by on_action

if you dont want the automatic one just fire the next election by the election event

[merry flint]

this happens whenever i try and upload a mod with a thumbnail

does anyone know how to fix it?

[slender brook]

Steam has a limit on how much you can upload

This includes stuff like thumbnails and screenshots you’ve posted to Steam Forums

[merry flint]

Why does it only happen with a thumbnail then and I can add more to the mod without issues

the size of the thumbnail is just 190kb

does the launcher have an error reports file or something that shows errors when uploading mods?

[merry flint]

Nvm i found them

[vale condor]

is there any weird mods out there? recently got into the ultimate crossover mod lol

[pale sparrow]

Equestria at War

[obtuse condor]

hey quick question, where are the focus tree pics .dds?

[pale sparrow]

goals folder I believe under interface, in the GFX folder

[obtuse condor]

thx

[sleek field]

I'v been playing equestria for 2 days straight now...

Was twilight becoming country leader just for the april fools special?

Or am i just dumb

[topaz topaz]

does anyone know how to annex austria as the german empire in r56?

[pale sparrow]

I havent made that path yet

[topaz topaz]

i want to secure the balkans for bulgaria who is allied to me but i can't take yugoslavia without passing through austria

also i remember in a previous run i could invite hungary using the "restore central powers" focus, what are the prereqs for that?

[quaint heart]

equestria at war is by far the weirdest

[pale sparrow]

Need to be non aligned still

It can invite like 4/5 countries but some of them like Italy are rarely non-aligned

[wanton veldt]

Does anyone know a mod that adds german voices?

I tried New German Voices but it isn't working

[topaz topaz]

i checked and hungary is already nonaligned

i'm guessing because their ideology is despotism and not absolute monarchy

while bulgaria's is

does anyone know of a reliable source for a somewhat accurate 1920s china?

[obtuse condor]

[sharp laurel]

Can I make the dumb AI not do coastal defense by main template divisions, like 9-3?

[obtuse condor]

anyone know where things like autonomous state (for the states like catalonia) is stored?

do you mean how to code one or how to make a mod file

[pine forge]

Can you guys give me a suggestion for a place to make a focus tree?
I want to start modding for Hoi4

[obtuse condor]

by place do you mean a country?

or a tool to code

[pine forge]

A tool

[pale sparrow]

Visual Studio Code with bracket highlighting using a Paradox code plugin

Go to upload mod in the launcher, in there you can create a new one too

[obtuse condor]

paradox code plugin? oh that one

[pale sparrow]

its called...

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tboby.paradox-syntax

[obtuse condor]

I forgot it for a second and got confused

[pine forge]

I have vs code

but I am stupid and dumb and cannot code outside of HTML and CSS

[obtuse condor]

use the games built in focus trees as a template

[pine forge]

okay

thanks

[dapper wadi]

uhh need help

its crash the game whenever i click a naval unit

[quick latch]

Not modding related, go to #ask-for-help-here

[dapper wadi]

it is...

but sure whatever

[quick latch]

Then give enough context so it is related to modding

smh

[obtuse condor]

how do i remove cavalry from a country

i want bicycles

i already added a focus to add bicycles

but how do i remove cavalry by default

[pale sparrow]

cavalry is not a tech

[obtuse condor]

ok

but how do i remove cavalry from a country

[pale sparrow]

you mean make it unavailable or a starting template/division?

Starting templates division are in oob's, defined in the country's history/countries file then found in history/units

[obtuse condor]

unavailable

the country i made doesnt start with army

bicycle infantry > cavalry

fock horses

[stuck quarry]

How would i go about creating a revolution type thing, like a few states just split off into their own country,

[pale sparrow]

start_civil_war

[stuck quarry]

Alr, can i have multiple of those happen? Or is it limited to 1

[lofty plaza]

You could make it happen multiple times yes

[obtuse condor]

does anyone have any national focus mod recommendations for countries with the default focus tree

?

[quick latch]

Scandinavia Reworked (or something like that) is one called, can only recommend

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56

[obtuse condor]

ok so i added bavaria

and this happened

[gilded raven]

[obtuse condor]

hey guys im making a custom focus tree and i want to create a focus that when it gets completed it changes the rulling party of the country soo will set_ruling_party work?

[gilded raven]

[obtuse condor]

bruh

suss

[obtuse condor]

idk

[lethal steppe]

is there no way to apply this time/date/year to technologies so you can know exactly when they are going to be researched?

[obtuse condor]

We wish

[lethal steppe]

then it's time for a suggestions on the forum

[neat linden]

is there a mod where you can make peace with amerika as germany in ww2 ?

[solid lodge]

Heyo ! Anyone know if the great war redux mod have some flavor for Belgium ?

[obtuse condor]

how do i tell whats crashing my game

cuz i got like 10,000 errors in error.log

[pale sparrow]

the error log most commonly is not useful

[obtuse condor]

wonderful

[pale sparrow]

for crashes I mean

[pale sparrow]

Also, only check the last second or so

[obtuse condor]

alright

[obtuse condor]

i think you can in vanilla but you have to change either the government of the US or Germany's

i could be wrong

[hoary sandal]

I like the Peace Deals mod

it’s pretty good

[lofty plaza]

Seems like a rather minor thing don't you think?

[upbeat drift]

Yeah, but it'll still be pretty useful

[naive mantle]

does anyone know how to make a city or states localisation depend on who owns it?

like if germany owns danzig is still danzig but if poland own it, it turns into gdansk

[quick latch]

Use on_actions for that.
There's an event for changing state control. There you can check for example if Poland controls Danzig and then you can rename the state if that's the case.

[limpid hemlock]

listen, how to make a trigger to change the focus tree? GPT chat gave me this

country_event = {
id = my_mod.1
title = my_mod.1.t
desc = my_mod.1.d
picture = GFX_event_example_picture

is_triggered_only = yes

option = {
name = my_mod.1.a
# Эффекты выбора
}

option = {
name = my_mod.1.b
# Эффекты выбора
}
}

[limpid hemlock]

and here's another

[quick latch]

You probably want to use this; Never listen to ChatGPT when it comes to modding, most of the time it's talking shit

[limpid hemlock]

Thank you

[limpid hemlock]

yes you are a legend

[quick latch]

xD

[naive mantle]

hey guys, so im making the russian civil war as part of my mod, and i need ways to represent the allied occupied areas

i was thinking i just make new countries and give the occupiers military access and guarantees

like the legation cities in KR

[stuck quarry]

I have a question about civil wars, can i make it so a completely different nation which has been captured by the main nation split off instead of a different ideology version of the main nation, aswell as can i specify what states split off from the main nation

[honest eagle]

Please don’t use chatgpt lol

[honest eagle]

This is a good idea

Maybe make it a puppet country?

[honest eagle]

Yes you can

I think lol i don’t really understand your question

But you can set it to a certain ideology and certain states

[stuck quarry]

Well like

[honest eagle]

https://youtu.be/Hq8lSKV2DYY this video should explain it

Idk if it’s still up to date though

[stuck quarry]

Alr ill check it out

[honest eagle]

If you got any questions/it doesn’t work I can help

[stuck quarry]

Basically i want to make another country start a civil war instead of a different political party

Like i got a country which owns the land chad would have, and i wana make chad rebel and split off

Ill see if civil wars can do tbat tho, sorta new to modding lol

[stuck quarry]

Alrighty, thanks

[limpid hemlock]

1 i checked
2 why do all americans write lol? I heard from Russian speakers the last time about 3 years ago

[honest eagle]

1. Checked what
2. Idk man it’s just a phrase

[void light]

Hello, can you make there be a war from the beginning?

Traductor

[honest eagle]

Yeah iirc there’s a thing in country files or the bookmark where you can set who’s at war with who

I forget though

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know a good alt history mod that is not Kaiserreich nor red flood?

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56

[obtuse condor]

Alt History

[tribal island]

[honest eagle]

Old world blues

[gloomy rapids]

Would I be allowed to use DLC focus trees in my mod if I change them a bit?

[lofty plaza]

No

[gloomy rapids]

[lofty plaza]

You would need to make it a dependency

[gloomy rapids]

yeah ok thanks

[obtuse condor]

Any other?

[honest eagle]

TNO - Last Days of Europe

[tropic cloak]

Hey Guys

Can someone help me

I wanna do a vanilla mod

Where there Are less countries

And added corrs

Likes not removwd

But Countries that Are merged

So the game lags less

And some Garanteed rng

Events

Dm me if interested

[proven brook]

HAHAHAHA I NEED THAT RN

[tropic cloak]

@lofty plaza

[obtuse condor]

if a country has troops but also has only demilitarized states, does the mod crash?

[lofty plaza]

Hi

[tropic cloak]

Hey man thx for answering

can we talk in dms?

I have a save

Is it possible to make it into a mod

And i also need some minor changes

Its hard to explain

Its better if we could talk

Just let me know when u find the time

[obtuse condor]

why not just play the save and use toolpack

[tropic cloak]

i wanna make it into a mod

Otherwise i have to always load up the save

Its just vanilla

But with some minors changes

ill accept every help

[obtuse condor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/4n0s9o/how_do_you_edit_hoi4_save_games/ try this

actually nvm

[tropic cloak]

ukraine dude

Do you know how to manipulate focuses

[obtuse condor]

you probably cant turn saves into mods, cuz you need to do all the history files and stuff

[tropic cloak]

And events

[obtuse condor]

you mean edit?

[tropic cloak]

Ye

[obtuse condor]

yeah

[tropic cloak]

In vanilla

[obtuse condor]

but that wont apply to save games

[tropic cloak]

its not problem

I have the save

As a Layout

Otherwise ill forget my cores

And changes

[obtuse condor]

wdym

[tropic cloak]

when i create the mld

Mod

i changed borders

And cores

In my save

[obtuse condor]

so you got all the history files and stuff like that already?

[tropic cloak]

No im really 0 experienced in modding

I opened the game

And used console

Added cores

And removed nations

[obtuse condor]

bro just use toolpack

its a mod that saves thousands of hours using console

[obtuse condor]

i dont think you can just turn a save into a mod

[tropic cloak]

oh man

[obtuse condor]

you'd have to manually make a mod

[tropic cloak]

I hope someone finds the time

do u wanna do it?

But we have to talk about details n studf

Stuff*

[obtuse condor]

nah bro

im making my own mod rn

Kaiserreich cold war between russia and commie france

[tropic cloak]

Ok one question

Can u make a event for example

Italy caps Etiopia

In most times

Etiopia continues fighting

But sometimes the really cap

And u go into peace deal

Are You able to do that so its garanteed everytile

Everytime*

That this event happens

[obtuse condor]

like you mean they dont capitulate?

[tropic cloak]

No they do capitulate

And u go into peace deal

[obtuse condor]

so whats the problem again?

[tropic cloak]

Are you able to make Events outcomes

100$

100% Garanteed

Like that Outcome always happens

That austria accepts anschluss

[obtuse condor]

like what outcome happens everytime? that you go into peace deal?

[tropic cloak]

10%%

100%

Or that czech accepts to give sudeten

[obtuse condor]

theres custom game rules for some of those, but in the game files you can change the "Ai factor"

[tropic cloak]

To make the Chance to 100%

In code

Event Outcome

[obtuse condor]

search up how to change ai factors for events

[tropic cloak]

I mean can you make Events Into a 100% possibility

That this outcome will happen

Via code

[obtuse condor]

yeah, make the AI guaranteed to do the event

[tropic cloak]

Yes

[obtuse condor]

just search this up

[tropic cloak]

Well not only for Ai

But also for RnG events

[obtuse condor]

like what

[tropic cloak]

Like If you coup stalin

U can max the possibility of his death to 80%

[obtuse condor]

idk about rng events but its probably also simple

[tropic cloak]

20% is he survives

Sometimes it happens that stalin survives

And then the russia players gets a civilwar

And dies instantly

Can u edit it that the the possibility that stalin survives is impossible

[obtuse condor]

yeah

just google it

[tropic cloak]

Yeah i know its a code

U have to change

[nimble valley]

I got a mod for EU4 that changes Byzantiums flag, name, and color.
Issue is the mod is old and the flag ID needs to be updated.
What’s the best way to edit the mods file to update the ID?
Posting here because EU4 does not have a discord.

[tropic cloak]

The Number

Like from 50%

To 100%

Because i saw a guy modding

And he Worked on Events

Alr another Question @obtuse condor

In my Mod i annexed some countries

That have impact on the country

I annexed and cored Mongolia and tannu tuva as soviet Union

Do you know how to remove any focuses that have a connection to tannu tuva or mongolia

otherwise the focuses will have no impact or get bypassed

Which is lazy modding

[tepid cave]

Couple of questions:

1. Trying to run a scripted effect from within an on action. It doesn't seem to be working. The on action is triggering properly because the other effects in the action run, and the scripted effect works when I run it through to console, but the scripted effect does not run when it should in the on action. Why does this happen?

2. is there a way to level ideas without using if statements to check for each level?

[ocean estuary]

What are your favorite historical mods. I’m looking to host noob friendly historical games on Saturday’s. I’m looking for historical mods ive been using IH&E but when I played last time there was some license purchasing bugs and there was no Spanish civil war. I’m curious what yal all like to play. And why you like them.

[obtuse condor]

do either of these matter
they keep on crashing my game when i load into the actual game

[unborn gorge]

Road to 56 is generally a safe bet

[ocean estuary]

I’m not gonna lie I’ve always viewed it as an Alt history mod.

[unborn gorge]

There’s still historical paths, Idk what you’d consider historical if R56 doesn’t count

[obtuse condor]

someone plz help me one of these errors or both is crashing my mod and i cant test it

[cinder wasp]

did you added this files or just changed them?

@obtuse condor , what you did last time?

maybe there is typo/syntax errors in files

[obtuse condor]

Removed factions from some countries, gave Tibet a province and made more puppets

I removed the faction from the actual country notepad btw

[cinder wasp]

ugh

i expected naval or air problems

[obtuse condor]

Nah I ain’t touch those yet

But do either of those errors crash the game

Or is it smth else

[cinder wasp]

so there is 2 problems, faction assigning and state ownership?

[obtuse condor]

Probably not the Tibet getting a province thing

[cinder wasp]

show what code of this province looks like

[obtuse condor]

That’s what I did last, but it’s probably those two errors since my game crashes when they appear

[obtuse condor]

I can guarantee that it’s not the Tibet getting a state
