modding

[cinder wasp]

btw show pls

map shit is very important

[obtuse condor]

Alright imma be honest, I can’t get to my pc right now

These two errors pop up at the exact moment my game crashed, how to fix either?

[cinder wasp]

did you even read them

[obtuse condor]

yeah, but I don’t understand like 60% of it lol

[cinder wasp]

last one says its cant find proper variant of ship in line 10
file and its location is here at beginning

maybe you trying to create ship without needed components?

[obtuse condor]

I haven’t touched that file though

[obtuse condor]

Wdym

[cinder wasp]

ok, we anyway can't solve it without you at pc

[obtuse condor]

nah I could actually probably get over there real quick

[cinder wasp]

crash and error logs not always tell problem

so need track down all steps that was done before crash

[obtuse condor]

my game crashes once i load into a game btw

like right before you play

But I don’t actually get to play

[cinder wasp]

familiar

i also too busy to play my mods

[obtuse condor]

I ain’t busy, it’s just it’s late here and also Fortnite’s updating

[cinder wasp]

lel

can i ask what your mod actually do?

[obtuse condor]

Kaiserreich Cold War with Russia vs France

[naive mantle]

is it possible for border conflicts to happen in countries that you have military access to?

like say the uk has military access to finland

can russia start a border conflict with the uk on the finnish border?

[naive mantle]

anyway i think i have a good idea for the allied occupation zones in russia during the russian civil war

so the allies will have military access to the occupied region, the country will be an integrated puppet of the whites

and the allies will have a decision where if they station a division in the occupied territory, it will join the country (if this is possible in the first place, i dont know)

cuz the soviets will have decisions to start border conflicts with the occupation zone, and if they win a certain number of them then they annex the occupation zone

if anyone can think of a better system please let me know

[livid crescent]

It’s would be cool if was mod that improve democracy and add parliamentary system like in eu4

And american democratic system really sucks

[half pollen]

Any mods that you would suggest to rename your nation + faction to your choosing?
I want to name my country completely stupid

[deft zinc]

Does anyone knows if there is a mod that adds the weapons from XCOM, and a mod that changes the game the same way like Old World Blues does, but with the One Piece series instead of the Fallout series?

[ocean estuary]

I’m just so used to using for alt history games. I was locked into that mentality lol

[livid crescent]

New ways mod is so fire🔥

[stuck quarry]

Making mod go brrrrrrrrrrrrt

Not sure if this would apply here but anyone know of a good like starter template for modding countries? I got like 90 countries to add troops for in my mod and to make it easier i plan on just copy pasting the same template for every one but im not sure how to make a decent allrounder template bc i dont have many hours in the game, should i just throw alot of infantry in it or is there a different/better setup

[obtuse condor]

they really are just going to let me march into Shanghai like that?

[obtuse condor]

Yeah that’s 100% possible, I’ve seen that in mods

[nimble valley]

How do you edit the code from steam workshop mods?

[obtuse condor]

so, I decided to look at Novum Vexillum's subreddit, every single post is about a guy called Popov
I need more context on why he is such a meme in that community

I looked further into the subreddit I guess the meme is that he is Russia's most warmongering path?

[rare temple]

Mod?

[obtuse condor]

end of a new beginning

[obtuse condor]

hey guys can modifers also be used upon completing national focus?

[obtuse condor]

where can i find the oob files

[quick latch]

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\history\units

[obtuse condor]

ok

[dim island]

History files

Unless you want to do map modding

[jade mauve]

can you change the terrain type of a province?

[cinder wasp]

on terrain map, each color defines a terrain type

[obtuse condor]

what are some reasons my mod would crash specifically here

[naive mantle]

thats a very interesting map

[obtuse condor]

very.

alright i give tf up hoi4 is clearly too smart for me 🙏

[modern tiger]

is there a mod for player led peace conferences that works with the latest edition

[topaz topaz]

Is this a bug in r56? Finland whitepeaced the USSR even though it captured all of karelia and murmansk. Ik its supposed to be a scripted event but it just looks ridiculous

[jade mauve]

can you change it through an event?

[toxic mulch]

im so sorry but the bell being cut off is so funny

[cinder wasp]

no, map is not changeble during game

the map itself, provinces/states , weather, hights, water

same for all pdx grand strategies

[dapper ermine]

Anything in logs?

[sly basalt]

What

What's the best mod for a modern day map?

I just want one that has a modern map.

[foggy valve]

Just put the game settings on decolonized

[lethal steppe]

if you modify things like new national focuses and technology trees, how difficult is it to mod the ai to play with these new things?

is it just a matter of making lists that the ai will follow or something?

[pale sparrow]

mhm

ai_national_focuses = { TAG_focus_name_1 TAG_focus_name_2 } is a list of national focuses, separated by whitespaces, in the order that the AI should take them. In this example, the AI will try to take TAG_focus_name_1 first if possible. If it's already taken or TAG_focus_name_1 is impossible to take, then AI will try to take TAG_focus_name_2. If both of the focuses are impossible to take due to being completed or unavailable, then it will move on to other focuses, taking ai_will_do = { ... } into consideration. While following a focus order, it ignores ai_will_do = { ... } values.

[lethal steppe]

so it can be steered

or directed

what about technologies?

[pale sparrow]

you should mostly code the ai_will_do's in the technologies themselves

but you can prioritize categories if they are extra important to the country

[lethal steppe]

what value does the ai place when choosing technologies?

[pale sparrow]

IIRC AI choses randomly if all factors are the same and never goes ahead of time

idk how they handle research buffs like ahead of time

[haughty crypt]

what should i do if i can run hoi 4 with mod, but can't without mod

[pale sparrow]

Verify file integrity

[haughty crypt]

i've did this

and its my mod

[haughty crypt]

mod files or hoi files?

[pale sparrow]

hoi

verifies Steam mods too

[haughty crypt]

i did this

[haughty crypt]

i can run it but only with mod

i've already reinstalled it

<@&916727924093239336> Help please, what should i do if i want run hoi 4 without mods and i have this error

[outer ivy]

if with no mods your game do that, check your games files, or reinstall the game

[obtuse condor]

rate my meme country's focus tree

[obtuse condor]

ГђВкГђВ

[lofty plaza]

Might wanna reinstall your game and clear your cache

[obtuse condor]

Where

Military Divtatorship path

[obtuse condor]

idk

i guess i will add a non aligned path

btw elecitons in the coutnry are every 6 months

it takes 2 weeks for each focus

give me a name for the non aligned path

like that is the neutral path

not military dicatorship

[obtuse condor]

Become a soldier

no

[obtuse condor]

Someone to the Throne?

no

not monarchism

just neutreality

like uhh

oligarchy i guesss

[obtuse condor]

neutrality*

current focus tree

Print money

yes

i will

it just adds low inflation

i will add print more money which will replace it with moderate inflation

is there a high inflation

fr

[nimble solar]

Foreign policy needed. Could be done under your ideology focuses like you have done with the fascist path.

Also air and navy tree Could be added onto the army tree

[obtuse condor]

why do i need navy

why do i need air

i have none in the country

i have no air bases

nor access to the sea

I think

what do you think

[nimble solar]

Idk, even the Czechs and Swiss have a navy tree, also an air tree. Expansion can give you access to the sea

[obtuse condor]

bruh

if i have 3 provinces and 1 state do you think i can expand

well maybe with bicycle infantry but aside from that no

[nimble solar]

Idk how big your country is, I was just throwing ideas

[obtuse condor]

fr

[nimble solar]

Insert kaiserredux meme path where tiny country conquers the world

[obtuse condor]

idk never played kaiserredux

[nimble solar]

Eh, it's been awhile since I played it. I just know balance is a thing that doesn't exist

[obtuse condor]

bruh

i literally have a focus for debugging which declares civil war on all major nations like germany italy ussr uk france and usa

[nimble solar]

Nifty

[obtuse condor]

but i removed it since when ai played they did that and in the first 2 weeks they focked up the whole world

[nimble solar]

The ai found a funny button and pressed it

[obtuse condor]

fr

world tension at 70% in the first month do you think that is normal

[quick latch]

Just disable the focus for ai

available = {
    is_ai = no # if that doesn't work then do: NOT = { is_ai = yes }
}

[obtuse condor]

nah

[twilit cloud]

Hello, so I made a mod for hoi4 Everything is done so I wanted to check how it looks in the game, The game loads normally, but where there is a loading window, when I jumped to loading checksum, it showed me an error log and kicked me out of the game.

I am attaching the error log below.

[obtuse condor]

what

what did you do

it is kinda normal for errors to happen like my mod has a lot of errors but i just close it

[twilit cloud]

Ye but like when I have my mod turn on my game is crashing.

[obtuse condor]

💀

what

what does the mod do

that sometimes happens when it says updating history and game crashes

like from my personal experiences at least

[twilit cloud]

Alt history

[obtuse condor]

ok

like

hold on

so

so uhh

can you disable your mods

like other than your own mod

[twilit cloud]

When I was Staring game I only had my mod on.

[obtuse condor]

ok

uhh

huh

idk

[twilit cloud]

Oh

[obtuse condor]

fr

[twilit cloud]

What if I send you files?

[obtuse condor]

idk

rn im focused on my own mod

[twilit cloud]

ok

[obtuse condor]

ok so i need balancing

like balancing help

basiclaly i have print money focuses

which add inflation

and political power

what should i switch political power to to make it balanced

[obtuse condor]

I thought it was memey

bruh

fr

i want it to be funny and serious at the same time

like its a meme country

with an alright focus tree

and i want inflation focus

[quick latch]

civs or mils I guess

[misty marsh]

remove political or command power 🤷‍♀️

[obtuse condor]

poltical power

[obtuse condor]

are you sure printing money by itself is good

[obtuse condor]

cant

not enough build slots

[quick latch]

Then add building slots?

[stuck quarry]

What would be the best way of adding a debuff to a country which can be modified or removed? Would it be done through a spirit or is there a better way

[misty marsh]

Printing money isnt good

[obtuse condor]

real but i want viable meme economy

like temporarily give the player x

[obtuse condor]

right

so

uhh

i have an idea

its just that inflation is uhh

you can fock your country as much as you want

how do i make print money focus infinitely repeatable

[quick latch]

I guess you could put this at the end of completion_rewards = { ... }

[obtuse condor]

ok

[vast meadow]

where is the list of countries that can get independent during russian civil war

[summer juniper]

Does anyone know how to change the GFX files for specific tech, like how the USA will have the M14 and Germany the STG 44

[hollow cobalt]

uncomplete children

[obtuse condor]

💀

i was thinking about adding a focus called "unprint money" but then i gave up

[quick latch]

???

Forgot to crop image

[hollow cobalt]

yes uncomplete children

[quick latch]

Disable if you want child focuses to stay enabled???

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that lets you give puppets in peace deals land like in the old peace conferences?

[gloomy rapids]

i was wondering that too

[tranquil venture]

Hey guys how to release (pupet) country by comand i mean what is code for it?

[slender brook]

release [TAG]

Oh this is modding, not console command stuff

[tranquil venture]

yes

i mean for modding

[slender brook]

Uh I think it’s usually release the country then puppet them after. Check the wiki effects page

[lofty plaza]

release_puppet = TAG

Or if you have TfV and want something more specific:

release_autonomy = {
target = TAG
autonomy_state = autonomy_level
freedom_level = 0.5
}

[somber iron]

does anyone know how to do the browser thing, like the one when you click the video icon underneath low manpower

but it being trigered by a decision

[quick latch]

What video icon?

[somber iron]

In the base game there are trial videos and you can click a lite thing to watch them in the in-game browser, they disappear after a while

Anyway the just of what i am trying to do is use a decision to trigger the in-game browser to open a link

[toxic mulch]

How do i convert a .mod file back into the file form

[little canopy]

I'm having problems with the nudge tool. Not able to assign or delete states. Anyone have a fix?

[grave tinsel]

so, i want to make some focus tree where if you get an event or click a decision, it will change to a new focus tree

is there any tutorial or guide for it?

If so, please send, thank you.

if there is none, please tell me how to do that

if you don't get it, something like an average tno russian reunifier's focus trees

[faint lichen]

where is the image file for the debug dog?

[obtuse condor]

[faint lichen]

ok thanks

[sinful eagle]

Is there a mod that automatically reorganizes the army?

[slender brook]

load_focus_tree = focus_tree_id

[grave tinsel]

tyy

[pale sparrow]

Not possible

[gloomy rapids]

why does my history>units>AUS_1936.txt work in my mod?

[sinful eagle]

oh…

[tender yoke]

where can i hire devs to make a mod

[gloomy rapids]

fiverr

[obtuse condor]

is there a tool for modding that makes it easier and cleaner

rn everything just feel so messy

[outer ivy]

there is this website called HOI4 modding

Useful for creating national focus especially

[civic raven]

i got an idea

op bulgaria mod is indeed op

i started off with cores on the entire balkans

• 22 bonuses

[obtuse condor]

can i import my already existing mod in it

[outer ivy]

everytime I tried it really messed up my focus

its better to start from zero

[obtuse condor]

💀

nah just tell me how to import my mod

[outer ivy]

best thing to do is start from zero, export when it looks good, and after that you will have saved time and can always retouch the focus

[obtuse condor]

what if i dont want to start from zero i already have a lot of shit done

i will just back up my focuses then

bruh

[outer ivy]

better continue manually then

[obtuse condor]

💀

can i import it

if yes then how

[outer ivy]

I mean you can try the import on the website to see if it works fine, maybe it will idk

but for me it always was a mess

[obtuse condor]

how do i import

tell me

what do i press

[outer ivy]

this

[obtuse condor]

what

no nvm i meant the whole mod

not just focuses

focuses im fine with making manually

thats simple

i want countries and shit

[outer ivy]

once you created a profile on the website, you can start creates mod

in the Modding Tools section

[obtuse condor]

ok

[outer ivy]

the site is normally not too complicated to handle

tbh

[obtuse condor]

fr

but i want to import my mod

that i arleady have

it wants me to create one

[outer ivy]

you can access to the import button once your into a tool

[outer ivy]

yeah you create one mod before all and after you can import whatever you want

that website helped me to create the Chaos mod

[obtuse condor]

bruh

[outer ivy]

did it work well?

[obtuse condor]

im trying to make it work

now can i add ideologies

[outer ivy]

Yeah you can

There is a ideology tool in the Modding Tools

[obtuse condor]

ok

how do i delete country from the website

it didnt import correctly i didnt select localization

ok nvm i fixed it

[outer ivy]

good ^^

[obtuse condor]

ok nvm

damn it

how do i delete countries

like it imported incorrectly

[outer ivy]

I think you can in the Start Dates tool

[obtuse condor]

i cant reimport it because that isnt working for some reason

[outer ivy]

yeah the import button was always a problem for me aswell

[obtuse condor]

nah this is shit im going back to manual for now

[outer ivy]

yeah its better to stay manual if you started manual

[obtuse condor]

bruh

[quick latch]

@obtuse condor Don't use the Hoi4modding website. It's scuffed, weird and overall just bad from what I've heard.
You're better off using VS Code as text editor and using the HOI4 Mod Utilities addon. It let's you preview focus trees like this:

Link to it:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Chaofan.hoi4modutilities

[jade mauve]

anyone know why a ui could be fading in and out?

it seems like it fades in and out every hour in the decision tab

looks like its having a stroke

[obtuse condor]

i dont use vs

i use notepad

[quick latch]

Re-read my message

"You're better off using VS Code as text editor"

[obtuse condor]

no

[quick latch]

yes

[obtuse condor]

as i said

i use note pad

[quick latch]

Then use VS Code

[obtuse condor]

no

fock vs

[quick latch]

skill issue then
If you want your live to be harder, then go ahead

I won't bother you anymore

[obtuse condor]

bruh

wtf

[modern night]

Hey

Anyone wanna play

[obtuse condor]

My honest #modding reaction

[chilly field]

How can change the name of non aligned Austria-Hungary to Austrian Empire specifically when Austria forms it, and how can I create an event which triggers when AH is formed as Austria in which the player can recruit Otto VH as the leader, (like: “Otto Challenges the throne” or something)

[obtuse condor]

Can I have some help plz I want to make a custom focus tree (which I can do) but when I finish a part of the tree I want the country name and the flag to Change. How do I do this

I’m fairly new to modding

[jade mauve]

you can check the localisation flags of the cosmetic tags file, at least thats where i thing its located, as well as you can create an event for austria that triggers when you want to

[quick latch]

Use a cosmetic tag

[quick latch]

Already asked, already answered
#modding message

[gloomy rapids]

Why are my unit images white when they have a transparent background. Also i have them so that they are meant to show only 1 of the images (normal and nato) but for my custom ones they show both so they are extremly crowed and they do not fit into any of the boxes. Any idea why?

[obtuse condor]

i need name for first focus in nationalist russia focus tree for my mod i can never come up with names for anything send help

What you need Ames for

Names*

[vast meadow]

is ai very op?

like the french one

turbo op mega chad ai

who always defend belgium

[obtuse condor]

i told you

the first focus in nationalist russia focus tree for my mod

basically alt history where after the russian civil war whites got exiled to the far east

then the soviets invaded them

and took the southern far east next to manchuria and made that independent

[lofty plaza]

It codes extremely poorly and is very unreliable

[quick latch]

the website?

[lofty plaza]

Yes

So I completely agree

[jade mauve]

i mean, we cant really help if we dont know what your plans are in the first place, you can start a focus with almost anything

[obtuse condor]

i dont know what my plans are either

[jade mauve]

you really should sort that out before starting a project

makes things go smoother

look for russian focus trees out there, see if you can get some ideas of how to start

[tranquil venture]

how to remove this ?

[azure fern]

trying out an event, and this happens
anyone know what this means?

[20:36:56][namespacemanager.h:210]: Reverse id lookup: id 26400001 = black_banner.1 ```

no ide awhat it means, or how to fix it

nevermind, i just needed a reload of the game

[stuck quarry]

is there like a philosiphy or guide to making a good focus tree? i havnt made one before soo not sure how to make a good one

[obtuse condor]

how do i make a focus only available if the country is at peace

rn i have

            at_peace = yes
        }```

but it doesnt work

do i have to do is_at_peace

nope

still doesnt work

[quick latch]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Triggers#War
I recommend you reading the wiki and not blindly guessing how modding works

[obtuse condor]

im reading the wiki

but now i see the problem

i was looking at effects

[quick latch]

Finding triggers on the effects wiki isn't that easy smh

[obtuse condor]

fr

[azure fern]

in my opinion,

• don't make all focuses last 75 days, especially if they're grouped up and sometimes it can take really long for one thing
• don't make very bland names, you can keep alot of them sticking to the ideology or theme of your country
• remember you can use prerequisites and OR prerequisites (one or the other)
• i also suggest maybe making seperate focus branches based on the type, a bit like germany's how they have a bit for eco, air, army and expansion
• not all focuses can be about the player, you can add bonnuses or improving relationships with other countries, adding factories between the two or creating factions
• make the progression stable, not too slow, not too fast. make it enjoyable at any time in the game, and a viable country at any time in the game
• If your country is a real country, and has a language, try using that country's language in the name of the focuses OR use real names for companies, places etc etc

that's my reccomendations atleast ^^

[stuck quarry]

alr swag, im trying to make a new generic tree for my mod, ima save those tips to reference later lol

[azure fern]

hoi4 modding in a nutshell /j

[lofty plaza]

Try to have some kind of gimmick or system to keep the player captivated and make the nation unique

Such as how Bulgaria has faction management or Italy and it's balance of power, that kinda stuff

[azure fern]

i feel like maybe even having negative ideas, and working to fix them via focuses, either getting rid of it and turning it into a better idea (idea = national idea, im just lazy)

right?

[stuck quarry]

i have one thing i wana make which i think is cool

my mod takes place in a frozen world so i plan on having a debuff to most country aspects then having focuses or something which will slowly negate the debuff

[lofty plaza]

Yeah definitely, kinda goes into the progression part.

[lime mural]

Making a mod, added my own country. The colors of many countries (I putted only the color of the new country, but it also doesn't appear) are different and the flag of the country doesn't appear

[azure fern]

i feel like a good idea would be like a focus that jut does a negative, but will later progress into something good
a bit like imperial nostalgia's "austerity programs" which gets rid of pp, but later on lets the player progress

• aka, not everything being good or giving awards like something can give an event (basically everything in TNO)

[obtuse condor]

for the colors, you didnt close a bracket properly somewhere, and for the flag, if you're using paint.net, you have to save in 32 bit and check off "compress"

[lime mural]

Ok

[stuck quarry]

Me and my friends are testing my mod in multiplayer but for whatever reason none of the countries load initally, how would i fix it idk what causes it

[lime mural]

I closed every bracket properly

[obtuse condor]

send a screenshot of where your new country is in the color textfile thing

[obtuse condor]

idk it looks fine

idk then

[lime mural]

Ok

[pale sparrow]

Zoom out

[pale sparrow]

I didnt know there was a HSV option

[lime mural]

There is no GCB too

I checked

[quick latch]

only Germany uses it afaik

[lofty plaza]

Because they use a more specific one where the rest don't

[lime mural]

I putted the new country on last and every color appeared, but theirs

I got the tag wrong... solved it 😵‍💫

[little canopy]

I'm having problems with the nudge tool. Not able to assign or delete states. Anyone have a fix?

[lime mural]

I use gimp

[stuck quarry]

Anyone know why loading a mod in multipler wont load any of the countries unless you make a save in singleplayer first and load it

[lusty temple]

does anyone know how to make an ai naval invade another ai?

[obtuse condor]

do you have any other mods enabled

[obtuse condor]

guys i have question with modding

i creat napoleonic war mod

and change the states

but

after change states

game not open

and type the erorr

[slender brook]

Have you removed the map and history folders from Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV

[obtuse condor]

bro there is only map

[slender brook]

Ok remove map then

[obtuse condor]

and localisation

[obtuse condor]

ok

nah is not worked

@slender brook

[slender brook]

Alright, show all the files in that folder then

[obtuse condor]

no no i restart my windous and i lost my mod

i cant find history file

[slender brook]

If there's no history folder that's fine, cause there shouldn't be

Just show the whole Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV folder

[obtuse condor]

wait

[obtuse condor]

how do you access the create mod button in the up-to-date launcher?

[modern swift]

They called me a madman but I did it

Managed to make naval regions owned by a country

[obtuse condor]

also, how do I import CWTools into visual studio

[slender brook]

All Installed Mods -> Upload Mod

[slender brook]

You install it as an extension

[obtuse condor]

wdym

[slender brook]

That's Visual Studio not Visual Studio Code.

[obtuse condor]

ill install that now

thanks for dealing with my dumbass

[slender brook]

It's what I'm here for

[obtuse condor]

<:

[young trout]

Heya, I kinda want to learn how to mod, and I wanted to know if any of you have some important tips before I start that might not be in the wiki or whatever. I'm already pretty proficient with programming, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I should brush up on. Thanks :)

[obtuse condor]

Right, I'm getting somewhere:

[slender brook]

Probably not. If you understand regular programming, Paradox Language should be no problem. I suppose the only issues that may arise could relate to art

[young trout]

I'm a terrible artist, so I hope not.

[slender brook]

Well hopefully you can get by by slapping pngs onto other pngs and recycling basegame assets

[pale sparrow]

Most stuff is on the wiki

even very niche code not even used in vanilla

[slender brook]

Cause Paradox loves modders

Probably because they keep people playing and buying DLC

[pale sparrow]

[young trout]

Should I use GIMP for that? Because there's no way I'm buying photoshop and the wiki called GIMP "rough", whatever that means. Since hoi4 has some stupid image format.

[slender brook]

Oh yeah GIMP is totally fine. I use it

[young trout]

And does it also work for flag files? (.tga)

[slender brook]

yes

[pale sparrow]

Dont tho

https://github.com/PlayerHOI/IWFC

[young trout]

Sweet, then I think I'm all set.

[pale sparrow]

Saves you from having to use .TGA and creating small/medium/large versions of the flag

[young trout]

Oh, even better then :)

Also, why doesn't the wiki mention this? https://github.com/herbix/hoi4modutilities

It looks super cool, and it's actively maintained.

[pale sparrow]

I thought it does?

it just links to the VScode extension page, not the git

[young trout]

It does?

[obtuse condor]

how does hoi mods change the geography?

[pale sparrow]

I assume

[pale sparrow]

Pain

Its a lot of work

[obtuse condor]

so you're telling me

they remade tiles

made terrain

[young trout]

oh no

[obtuse condor]

and create NEW tiles?

[young trout]

I was planning to do that for my first mod

[obtuse condor]

man i wish there was a super duper mod that makes modding easier

[pale sparrow]

gotta edit provinces.bmp, then made a bunch of adjustments

[obtuse condor]

yeah that sounds like pain

[young trout]

Theres a wiki page that covers all of those adjustments right?

Right..?

[obtuse condor]

uhm

sorta actually

so unless you have 20$ laying around that you can spend per month/year

[valid halo]

how do you get ideas for mods

[slender brook]

The same way you get ideas for anything else

[obtuse condor]

I reinstalled my hoi4 and am using little to no mods and still am getting all these errors?

[gloomy rapids]

Why do my texticons for my sprites not work?

[azure fern]

im trying to make a civil war, inside a civil war but i've been looking through the wiki and i have no idea how to make a new coutnry, declare war on both countries in a civil war and switch the player to it
can anyone help me with this? /nf

[civic raven]

civilwar ideology tag (twice)

then tag d01 or whatever the civil war side's tag is

then declare war on both

[azure fern]

i meant as in via a focus, and i have a custom country to be involved in the civil war

[civic raven]

oh

nah

i thought u meant w/ commands

[azure fern]

i was originally thinking of just giving states to the country , and declaring war on both countries via event or focus

but i have no clue how to to that

i tried looking at other mods with a civil war with 3/4 way, and it's really complicated and i came here to see if i could get a better / less complicated answer on it

[lilac bloom]

does anyone know what to do?

[nimble solar]

Just use it, it should be fine

Or have fun with border gore, one or the other

[gloomy rapids]

you know how the soviets have penal batallions subn-units. How do I make a sub-unit like that so that it can't be added or removed to any division

that's nothing

besides that, does anyone know how to add onto the german civil war? i want to add a new nation after another focus but i've been looking through the wiki and i can't find anything,

[tender yoke]

looking to hiring a mod dev

to make a 1944 scenario

[pale sparrow]

Damn Im making 1945, a year off

[tender yoke]

early 45 before german surrender or late 45

[pale sparrow]

right after Japanese surrender

So late

Im mostly just very very slowly making post-war focus trees for Eastern Europe

[uneven dawn]

Help i have edited the small flag in my mod but my units still for some reason show the German Empire flag. I have made some states in germany independent (new country)

[tender yoke]

ah

so like cold war scenario

im looking for someone for a dev to help me make an endsieg scenario

short 7 day focuses to prepare for battle of bulge

im trying to make it so its not at a point where u gotta retreat at the very start

but is at a point where u will be pushed back and forced to mega micro it

[pliant reef]

does someone have a up to date mod that just gets rid of all the unprepared offensive things from the civil war

[uneven dawn]

I fixed that but the Medium flag dosent work

[sour vigil]

How can I add 3d Models to my mod like 3d new soldier uniforms

[young trout]

I made my first mod :D

As you can see I am an impeccable artist

[uneven dawn]

How did you doo the top left flag for me all flags except that one work

[young trout]

pretty sure it's the normal flag, i just edited it normally with gimp

[still goblet]

I ended up trying to make a mod that split germany up into about 5 different countries for some sort of alt history thing, as of now, there is no germany, despite having all of the states in the history folder done, and all of the localization done, I came here after watching multiple tutorials, and trying to fix it myself. I'm unsure if I'm not supposed to add each state as it's own file, but that is what I did, as pictured above. All of the localization is done correctly, to my knowledge, but the colors are way off, as pictured above, is this all because of something I did wrong in the colors file? Any and all help would be appreciated because I'm clearly clueless.

I am also unsure about this, if anyone would like to explain this, it may be the reason for the colors showing as they are

[little canopy]

My nudge tool wont work any one got a help?

[still goblet]

nevermind this, apparently not setting a flag broke the entire thing

[stuck quarry]

im having one hell of a issue

i cant update my mod

it just says a local mod with the same remote id already exists

[stuck quarry]

nvm it fixed itsself somehow

[lofty plaza]

[stuck quarry]

how do i make a country by default produce guns and equipment? i cant find how to do it in the files or on the wiki

[brisk turtle]

Missing a couple letters there/j

[obtuse condor]

where do i set political party names for countries

[obtuse condor]

nvm figured it out

[gloomy rapids]

it is in the history > units thing in the oob files. Once you are in the folder the files should look like 'germany_1936'. Once you have got a file you put this into it:

instant_effect = {
add_equipment_production = {
equipment = {
type = infantry_equipment_1
creator = "AUS"
}
requested_factories = 1
progress = 0.54
efficiency = 100
}
add_equipment_production = {
equipment = {
type = support_equipment_1
creator = "AUS"
}
requested_factories = 1
progress = 0.74
efficiency = 100
}
}

[dapper wadi]

does anyone know how to trigger an event for focus?

[honest eagle]

There’s no difference

[honest eagle]

Like after you complete a focus it triggers a event?

[dapper wadi]

nvm i got it

[honest eagle]

Ah ok

Hi, I have this weird ghost mod that I have deleted but it won't go away. Does anyone know how to completely reset the mod cache of hoi4?

[quick latch]

Try to resubscribe to it on Steam and then unsubscribe
worked for me

[young trout]

No like it's a custom mod I made, I can't do that because it's not on steam

I'll try actually launching the game

When I click "show in folder" it just does nothing.

[quick latch]

oh, then I don't know. sry

[young trout]

I've deleted the descriptor and everything

[magic sandal]

hoow do i make mods to stop crashing

[chilly field]

how would i change party names ( i wanna rename the irish Fascist party to Blueshirts)

[pale sparrow]

set_party_name or overwrite the localization of IRE_fascism_party

[chilly field]

in what file?

like where would i put that

[pale sparrow]

fix your indentation

[lofty plaza]

You have no '=' between the name and the first bracket, you also have no closing bracket on 'allowed'

Your indentation also really isn't that great

[weary elbow]

anybody have any idea about issues launching hoi 4 with road to 56?

it just keeps crashing on launch for me

[tiny yoke]

someone should make a mod that enables the sale of ships to other players, puppets, etc. so that if I, the UK for example, can sell ships to for example, Austria Hungary (or some other major that doesnt have a navy) so that I can make my allies stronger.

[uneven dawn]

where is the syntax wronge?

and why is my focus 0 days

[lofty plaza]

You need to set it's duration

[uneven dawn]

where can i find that?

in the file

[lofty plaza]

cost = 10 is 70 days, for example

[uneven dawn]

cost is 10

[uneven dawn]

i think it somehow has to do something with this error as my focus ingame dosent have any effects

[lofty plaza]

How you add it?

[uneven dawn]

edited an exisiting focus

[lofty plaza]

Show the whole thing

[uneven dawn]

still editing some things

[lofty plaza]

It may be the ä

Oh wait no it's definitely that you just put 'none' as the prequisite and it has no brackets

If you don't want a prequisite then just don't have it there

[uneven dawn]

ok

didnt work looks like this now

[violet flint]

delete the prerequisite = too

[uneven dawn]

ahh now it works thank you verry much

[dapper wadi]

[naive mantle]

i believe manga europa reloaded is up to date

[naive mantle]

not sure and not sure, sorry

[chilly field]

How can I make the pope the non-aligned leader of the papal state releaseable

Pope pius XII

[dapper wadi]

wym

[fast plinth]

All good, thanks

[chilly field]

Like you can release the Papal States but the leader isn’t the pope which is kinda annoying

[dapper wadi]

Is this supposed to be vanilla or?

[chilly field]

Yeah I’m vanilla you can release Papal States

But the leader is some random guy and not the pope so I’m wondering how to fix that

You need bba tho

[timber zenith]

Check magna europa reloaded, not the utility version

[worthy cairn]

awesome

[fast plinth]

This worked! Thanks

[prime dagger]

Does anyone know a good mod thats based on "the man in the high castle" that still works?

Does anyone know how to make a collaboration mod?

Where I can have me and my friends work on it

or would I have to send them the files and have them work on it from their side

[lofty plaza]

Fixing your indentation may reveal a miss or extra bracket

I don't think 'neutrality_ideology' is a real ideology

[edgy solar]

Would you know how to make a collab mod?

[modern tiger]

For some reason it doesn’t work

Player led peace conferences is outdated

How else would y'all get Lithium?

[thorn birch]

@keen thorn This guy

[azure fern]

still tryna figure this out, can i get help?

[timber zenith]

@azure fern Have you created a new tag for the third cw faction, or nah?

If you make a unique tag, use transfer_state in the focus you're talking about, and then use declare_war_on with the wargoal type civil_war

If you're modding the original german civil war, do that within the event that fires, I believe it's wtt_germany.1

[azure fern]

yes , i have

[azure fern]

ive been looking for it, but can't find exactly how to use it

as theres alot of things i have to input that i dont understand

but i'll do that, thank you

[pale sparrow]

@keen thorn

[edgy solar]

You can't have it locally and on steam, so you can only have one instance of the mod at once

[quiet widget]

Alright, thank you!

[pliant reef]

whats that mod that allowed you to send letters to others

go to steam library, right click on hoi4, propertiess and go to betas

I have a map mod, which works fine when I edit map & launch the gamne, but when I upload to Steam Workshop and download the mod and try to start it, I get "some errors are present in the map definition". Anyone know what's up?
In error log I get "MAP_ERROR: Palette in rivers.bmp is probably not correct" but I don't think this is true, I can launch the game fine from the version I'm editing and load the map, and the wiki says you can ignore this error.

I’m making a new scenario and in the process I’m giving Germany a few Polish states. All of it worked fine, except for states that contained letter’s that weren’t in English. Does anyone know what’s going on?

[lofty plaza]

Vanilla has voicelines for Vanilla does it not?

[lofty plaza]

File names don't support them

English alphabet only, fine in localisation

[quiet widget]

But is there anyway to fix it?

I’m using files from the States folder btw

[lofty plaza]

Don't use letters that aren't in the English alphabet in the file name

Im assuming that's what you're talking about

[quiet widget]

Not doing that

[quiet widget]

I’m copying State files from the states folder and then adding code to those files which will change the country that owns them in that specific scenario.

@lofty plaza

the

is what is supposed to add it to the scenario

[shy obsidian]

Its not appearing?

[quiet widget]

no it still says it's apart of poland

[shy obsidian]

And your new bookmark

Is in that year

[quiet widget]

yeah

[shy obsidian]

1940.6.22

[quiet widget]

most of it works just not states that have letters that aren't english

[shy obsidian]

The english has nothing to do with it

Its based on tag

Your sure you are modifying the right state?

[quiet widget]

yeah

there are two states that aren't apart of germany that should

those two states arent in english

[shy obsidian]

What is your new scenario start date?

[quiet widget]

1940.6.22

[shy obsidian]

1940.6.22 = {
owner = GER
controller = GER
}

Change this to 21

1940.6.21

[quiet widget]

ill try

[quiet widget]

nope

For now I'll just leave it like that and I'll find a way to fix it later

[shy obsidian]

You could try placing it above the poland part

Could be that it only supports 1 date set

[quiet widget]

lemme try

[shy obsidian]

Like are you using 1939?

[quiet widget]

nope

[shy obsidian]

Because if not you can replace that

[quiet widget]

that why some states are under german control

[shy obsidian]

I mean it doesn't matter if you replace 1939 if you aren't using it

[quiet widget]

ohhhh

I'm leaving 1939 in the mod

I just kinda added an extra option for 1940

[shy obsidian]

What state has 2 provinces?

Are you sure you are modifying the proper state file?

[quiet widget]

yes

[shy obsidian]

It has 2 provinces in the state

In the file

That you are editing

[quiet widget]

I sent the wrong state...

[shy obsidian]

Knew it

[quiet widget]

either way I was editing the right one

[shy obsidian]

Show the right one

[shy obsidian]

Yeah

That wouldn't work

You didn't close the bracket

[quiet widget]

where 💀

[shy obsidian]

Look at 1939.1.1

You put the next year inside of those brackets

1939.1.1 = {
            buildings = {
                air_base = 3
            }
            1940.6.21 = {
                owner = GER
                controller = GER
            }
        }

[quiet widget]

oh damn

[shy obsidian]

1939.1.1 = {
            buildings = {
                air_base = 3
            }
          }
            1940.6.21 = {
                owner = GER
                controller = GER
            }

You need to put a bracket under the buildings

[quiet widget]

let me try it now

[shy obsidian]

Its gonna work

[quiet widget]

yse

Thank you so much!

[shy obsidian]

No problem!

[quick ice]

I have a question. So say I wanted to take a 3D unit model from one mod, and use it without that mod active, is that possible to do?

[jade mauve]

technically, i havent tried it, but it should be possible, just make sure to have a backup copy of what you want to change

just in case

[wanton veldt]

How do I add countries to that small selection part, the row where poland is upon starting a new save?

[jade mauve]

in the bookmark file

[warped rivet]

What mods that has 1933 start date

[slender brook]

I think Darkest Hour is 1933

[obtuse condor]

are there any mods that add RL Units and templates

[wheat topaz]

yes

[obtuse condor]

How can i add building to custom map ?

[09:11:39][mapbuildings.cpp:428]: map/buildings.txt is empty.
[09:12:17][strategicair.cpp:4997]: MAP_ERROR: (airports.txt) no air base site defined for state 1
[09:12:17][strategicair.cpp:5018]: MAP_ERROR: (rocketsites.txt) no rocket site defined for state 1
...

I get this error

[lofty plaza]

Go to nudge/buildings and randomise it in state or all states

[obtuse condor]

i fixed this error but this time i got another error

[arctic garnet]

Please! I urgently need help. None of the songs I added are showing in my custom radio station. if ANYONE can help me please do

If you need them, here are the files

[worthy cairn]

Hi, this might be a weird question, but i was trying to add custom equipment following this video from 4 years ago. https://youtu.be/mHuqrMeHbwI?t=520
After i follow the exact tutorial how to do it, it wasn't showing up in the production menu even if i tried to do differently like literally copying the mechanized equipment into different file name and different equipment name without changing anything else. It still doesn't showing up in production menu

Oh and i mod it on a custom map and a custom country too

[jade mauve]

how do you add a terrain image to a terrain type?, the one that shows when clicking a province

[severe knoll]

does anyone have experience with scripted diplomatic actions? i have a question about them

[chilly field]

why wont my code work

the description wont show either

[pale sparrow]

Start by indenting

💀

[chilly field]

shit i forgot

[chilly field]

how do you do that again?

[jade mauve]

I think it should be something like germany.otto.hre.1.a for option a

[severe knoll]

doesnt matter

[pale sparrow]

after every opening bracket you add an extra tab on the next line

[chilly field]

alr ty

[severe knoll]

question: the has_capitulated = yes trigger is true when the country IS capitulated, or when the country HAS capitulated at least once before?

like for example, i put that in a national spirit cancel parameter. does the idea vanish when the country capitulates, instantly if the country has capitulated before, or vanishes a bit before capitulating?

[pale sparrow]

and obviously after every closing bracket remove one

[obtuse condor]

My mod is not opening.I didn't see any errors in error.log and text.log. But the mod won't open, what could be the problem?

[grave tinsel]

i would like to ask if it’s possible to modify a certain national spirit through focuses, like having an effective change in the national spirit that you already have since the start of the game by completing a focus

[pale sparrow]

Of course

swap_ideas effect if its in steps, or modify dynamic ideas if the order and effect of modification can vary

[somber frigate]

how do i find mod tools on the new launcher

[chilly field]

How can I make it so Otto Bon Habsburg can form the HRE (like how it only unlocks when Victoria is leader)

[jade mauve]

you can use a decision that shows up whenever you have him as a leader

has_country_leader = { character = TAG_otto_von_habsburg ruling_only = yes }

something like that

[spark moon]

Is the top mod on there any good?

[jade mauve]

havent tried it, but i guess maybe? but content could run out a bit faster

[naive mantle]

so i want to have a war between romania and yugoslavia vs hungary from game start, i use the following code in both romania and yugoslavias country file (history/countries/x.txt) but when hungary capitulates, the war dosent end

the generator states are different for both countries, this is the one from romania

idk if its the war goal type or what

[solar coral]

Hi guys i made some portraits, this is my first time, what can I do to improve more?

[autumn tiger]

[wheat topaz]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869888703 anyone know if ai uses this mod

[solar coral]

I got like an old pic, enhanced it, then just did some editing on it, and thats the outcome

[somber frigate]

made a small mod all it did was change the picture of a country leader and it worked fine in singleplayer but when i tried host it MP with my friends it was saying failure to connect for them?

i was using version 1.12.12

[obtuse condor]

Make a mod for the mao portrait

He actually looks like young mao

[slender brook]

I would say the feedback is that, compared to basegame, they are quite washed out and smooth. Of course, if you are trying to make your own style that is fine

[thin parrot]

i made a thing for the first time for hoi4

[obtuse condor]

does anyone know of some sort of mod that lets you manipulate rng i've had to restart my usa playthrough 6 times now because of an unlucky congress pushing me down to 100/400 😭

[obtuse condor]

;d

[fierce relic]

sometimes this crashes my game

but its worth it

[azure crag]

even the real world could not withstand such an outcome and would crash

[fierce relic]

also this happened

[quasi shore]

This olways crasches me too

[unique sigil]

can anyone help me with " This mod is missing a descripter file " ?

[chilly field]

Your mod starts with a descriptor files so you must have deleted it, my advice would be to create a new mod and copy the files you’ve already made over that way you get a fresh descriptor

Instead of tryna work out how to re in state an old one

[edgy solar]

Do you have the icon in .dds, with its goals and goals_shine files in interface

If you have both of those it might just be a small typo somewhere along the lines

[unique sigil]

does anyone know how to get military access of another country in milinium dawn?

[burnt dock]

If anyone wants a nice semi-hard challenge, on the Empires mod (1699 start date) play as Bavaria and join France and then try to kill Austria

[obtuse condor]

is it possible to make a mod that allows you to detach and attach regiments/battalions into divisions

[indigo trout]

thatd be interesting

[slender brook]

Although I doubt it's possible, let alone been made

[burnt dock]

Like a sort of Demerge button?

[obtuse condor]

yeah

[obtuse condor]

how do i change the start date

[dense condor]

Can i create a hoi4 mod with python and if yes what application do I use and how do I put the files? Does anyone have any video on that

[pale sparrow]

No, unless you use Python to generate Hoi-compatible files

[pale sparrow]

Common/bookmarks

[obtuse condor]

ok

[dapper wadi]

does anyone knows why my OOB didnt appear?

[slender brook]

Do you load the OOB

[dapper wadi]

hm? wdym

yes

oob =

[slender brook]

It's set_oob

[dapper wadi]

ooh...

right

my bad

[dapper wadi]

nope.

[slender brook]

Ok, I checked, it is just oob = "OOB_name"
So I think the only thing that may be of issue is the oob itself. Check for any bracket issues

[dapper wadi]

any mistakes?

[slender brook]

I don't see any. You can send the mod files to me and I can take a closer look

[dapper wadi]

eh...

sure

ouch

is over 60mb

@slender brook any revision other than the oob will be appreciated
