modding

[heady gorge]

Where are mods?????

When I try finding the mod by going to documents all the way to hoi4 and then mod I only find freaky numbers.... Then wehn I go to steam and after that go to workshop and see the mods there, they are again freaky numbers. If I create a mod how the actual heck will I know which one is it?? And how will I add things to it???? In ironworkshop it was so simple!!!!!!

[thin chasm]

Your own personally created mods will be stored in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\ under the folder name you chose for it at mod creation

Mods you download from the Steam Workshop will appear in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\ under their Steam Workshop ID number

[heady gorge]

Wait, so mine will have a folder?

Cuz the ones I have downloaded just say where they are storef

[thin chasm]

If you are making a mod through the game launcher, then yes, it will have its own folder, and its default location is in your Documents folder

[heady gorge]

Ah ok then. Thnx. Btw, will the one I create have a normal name? Or numbers again

Like not only the folder

But the desc too

[heady gorge]

Btw sorry if my questions are dumb

I haven't modded before

[timber zenith]

The numbers come from uploading/downloading to the steam workshop, it will appear with the name you assign to it

[heady gorge]

Ah thank god

That's a relief

[placid crane]

Can anyone tell me a good historical challenging mod for WW2?

[timber zenith]

Expert ai

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56

[waxen gate]

So I just had this organic scenario happen and it was probably the most fun Ive had in the game for YEARS.

Without any mods or cheese it happened to be both Americas + India vs the entire rest of the world (minus China), it was so balanced and fun.

I'm trying to see if there's a mod that I can replicate that. One where I can set what nations are allied to each other at the start and then have like a "cold war" period for x amound of game years before it just kicks off.

Is there one out there? I don't really know what to search for on the workshop.

[river light]

Ultra Historical Mod but I am biased.

[spring lily]

There is a mod that can unite nations or take parts of nation without going in war just doing treaties with the other nation?

[obtuse condor]

whats this?

[lofty plaza]

A lot of errors

Looks like you broke something somewhere

[obtuse condor]

😦

how can ı fix it

[lofty plaza]

Well it says the states are invalid

But I couldn't really say

[balmy rapids]

Does anybody know how can you add a custom text to a event decision? I mean that if you hover over a decision there would be for example a red writing: "This may have unforseen consequences" or smth like that

[lofty plaza]

Make a tooltip

[solid lodge]

Anyone know a modern day HOI but way lighter than Millenium dawn ? MD is way too complex for me to handle

[silk folio]

it has really no point to play vanilla mods are really good

[obtuse condor]

you want millennium dawn without its new features?

influence politics research etc

[lofty plaza]

Millennium Dawn classic

If it's still updated

[placid crane]

Novum vexillum is basically millennium dawn vanilla so no money etc. But learn millennium dawn tbh. Its so much more realistic and fun if u learn it

[pale sparrow]

"realistic"

[placid crane]

What?

[pale sparrow]

The only thing realistic about Millenium Dawn is that it runs as fast as real life 🥁

[placid crane]

Your probably just mad because you don't understand it

[azure fern]

anyone know how to get ai to choose a certain option on an event if threat is above a certain level? i was trying to use the IF scope but that didn't seem to work - maybe i inputted it wrong but does anyone know how to do this?

[pale sparrow]

Wiki -> event modding -> AI chance

[waxen gate]

This would definitely be a good solution for me

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know how to override the menu background for all DLC?

load_5 override just vanilla

and i dont really wanna make like 8-10 same images for all DLC with different _

[solid lodge]

Well I think MD is just too complex for me. I struggled with the base game at first and this mod is like an hardcore version in term of gestion and things to think about si if there is any simple mod but with modern days other than MD I would be curious to try

[balmy rapids]

@lofty plaza (I ping you cause you seem to know a lot about modding). I have a problem. I want to make a variable, the variable is supposed to be something like that:

variable1=variable2*20000

However i have no idea how it can be done, could you help me?

I know that i have to use multiply_variable somwhere there, but I have no idea how I can define that it's value of variable 1

[pale sparrow]

variable 2 becomes the multiplied one

you have to set the value of variable 1 to that of variable 2, then use the multiply on variable 1 if you want to keep the old value available

[balmy rapids]

so basically duplicate variable 1 and multiply the duplicated one by 20000

?

[balmy rapids]

So do like set_variable = { variable1 = variable2 }

?

[pale sparrow]

Idk if thats the syntax but yeh

[balmy rapids]

gonna try

[balmy rapids]

I'm gonna tell you what im trying to do and if you can tell me if that's possible:

Right now, I'm trying to make a event, that replays every 180 days.
Clicking the decision in this event, will calculate the amount of pp to give the player based on how many times he clicked certain decision in decision tab (the value of how many times he clicked it is stored as variable and when he gets the event the value is supposed NOT to reset).

is it even possible?

Oh

I have this in hidden effect tab

set_variable = { camps_built = camps_built2 }

multiply_variable = {
var = camps_built2
value = 20000
}

[lofty plaza]

What he said

[balmy rapids]

okay

I think

I think I managed

to do it

holy I don't know why my brain was overloading so hard

it was so easy

Thanks

thanks a lot

[prisma thorn]

anyone that likes making focus arts text me

[balmy rapids]

Where should I put the set_variable?

when i put it in the event's decision

It doesn't seem like it's working

heres the hidden effect

set_variable = { camps_built = camps_built2 }

multiply_variable = {
var = camps_built2
value = 20000
+
}
subtract_from_variable = {
var = people_number
value = camps_built2
tooltip = add_100_to_var_tt
+
}

[pale sparrow]

if its part of an event choice, maybe put it in the immediate

[balmy rapids]

multiply_variable = {
var = camps_built2
value = 20000

}
subtract_from_variable = {
var = people_number
value = camps_built2
tooltip = add_100_to_var_tt

}

will this

do itself one after another?

I mean

first multiply

then substract

or does the

multiplying

have to be somwhere before

?

[frail sapphire]

Hey. Can someone help me? Does anyone know how to create this blue frame around a state? And how do you make it permanent until an effect undoes it? Just like in the Road to 56 mod in the German Decisions when you declare the Greater German Reich.

[slender brook]

You mean a highlighted state?

[frail sapphire]

I think so. It has a blue frame around these states. I want go give them an effect so i can make a kind of a Holy Roman Empire.

[slender brook]

I definitely understand the general concept, although I'd have to inspect closer because there are definitely distinctions here between this and ordinary highlighted states

[frail sapphire]

Thank you very much in advance.

[slender brook]

Ok, so what I just recalled is that the colour is down to the line highlight_colour_while_active. This determines the colour of the outline, although I'm not sure which is which (leaving the line out is white)

Otherwise, it's just a standard highlight as described here https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Decision_modding#State_highlighting

[frail sapphire]

Thank you

[frail sapphire]

Can you please make me a decision as soon as this is triggered, in which a state is permanently marked with a yellow highlight. And with a second decision, this highlighting is undone again.

[slender brook]

I don't think permanent highliths are a thing

At least, I've never noticed it

[frail sapphire]

Okay. Thank you

[obtuse condor]

I don't know exactly but it's possible that you accidentally changed something in the vanilla files of the game try to check the integrity of the files on Steam.

Can someone pls help me with my code, the rest of the focus tree disappeared when I changed the Austro-Hungarian claim focuses to give cores instead

[prisma finch]

Hello, looking for help with a problem: I want to remove a line from a big mod's national focus in order to fix a bug.
However, changing the file in steamapps/workshop/... has no effect on the game at all. I've changed the icon=... line of the national focus too - no effect.
I've saved the changes to the file and tried to restart the game.

[timber zenith]

Always check your brackets

if part of the focus tree disappears randomly after changing any other part of it, chances are you've got too few or too many brackets

You're missing one at the end here that's probably the cause

[chilly field]

hello i'm looking for a hoi4 mods that go to 1930 to modern day (2020)

[pale sparrow]

They all suck and you cant run well enough for it either

[balmy rapids]

multiply_variable = {
var = camps_built2
value = 20000

}
subtract_from_variable = {
var = people_number
value = camps_built2

}
Will this do itself one after another? I mean first multiply then substract or does the multiplying have to be somwhere before? The code that i sent is in hidden_effect in one of the event decisions

the event replays itself every 180 days

[thin chasm]

Imagine having to balance the historical path of a mod that runs from WW2 to 2020, never mind any of the technical hurdles of the task

How do I get rid of planes from my mod? And I also wanna remove airports and construction of airport

[subtle zephyr]

Ethiopia's decision on the African Union requires too much political power! What can be done to reduce this? Someone please help!

[pale sparrow]

its just badly designed

in a mod just copy the file over and reduce the cost amounts

[subtle zephyr]

Thank you. But I haven't been playing this game that long, so I don't know which files to edit...

[pale sparrow]

common/decisions/ETH is probably where its at

you can check the wiki for decision editing

[pale sparrow]

This your mod?

Is it on 1080p?

[winged iron]

You don't

Oh wait we're in modding haha

As an actual publishable mod or just some bootleg workaround for you?

[obtuse condor]

just for me and a friend mostly

i wanted to make a mod that adds atlantis into the game

and i made it on the faroe islands

but i wanna give it some industry past 25 factories overall

[winged iron]

Lol you're on your own there but if you just google building slots in the workshop you'll find a bunch that add building slots and you can look at their code

[obtuse condor]

alright, thank you!

[pale sparrow]

you should probably start by setting GUI files to open in VSC

main menu stuff is something with main

frontend files I meant to say

frontendmainview.gui I think is main menu screen and scenario selection IIRC

wrong one

GUI

yeh

if Im wrong you can press ` in debug_mode and when youre not in-game itll show all the GUI elements

[obtuse condor]

Hello, I am looking for a mod or some way to modify the game for a free-for-all mode, that is, all the countries are at war with each other, but I have not found it, there are 2 mods on steam but they have not been updated in years and when using them they crash the game, does anyone have or know where to get them?

[spare crest]

I'll make a mod wich protests the decision made by paradox to remove superheavy tanks as line battalion

[timber zenith]

I'm not sure of the dimensions, try replacing an existing icon

[heady gorge]

Mate, turn off compression

[obtuse condor]

yo, does anyone know any good mod for a navy campaign?

[winged iron]

Nah, Hoi4 isn't really built around the navy. What i mean is you're always going to need ground troops to capitulate the enemy. And unlike say Victoria 2 you really do need to engage is the micromanagement of ground war for that instead of marching an blobbed army of a ship, and because of total war nature of ww2 you cant really 'skirmish' in this game for minor gains

Its a really cool system though and I do wish I could engage with it more though so i get what you mean

[woven sparrow]

?

well, this is the icon i'm trying to use

[heady gorge]

Ok look. Start with bu getting an icon. Paste that. Then get your icon and past it over the the og icon. Adjust, and then when saving, deselect the option, compress to smth smth

[timber zenith]

Is there a ruleset for the hoi4 steam workshop? I don't think scummy practices like uploading a mod that contains no content to promote a discord server should be permitted. Economy for HOI4

[obtuse condor]

Uh what do i do?

how do i fix this messed up interface

            position = { x = 0 y = 0 }
            size = { width = 100%% height = 100%% }

    }

do you know in which interface file this is located?

where is the single_player_date_bg

[pale sparrow]

Just search it with your text editor

manually?

through every interface file

that sounds like a chore

how do i search for a specific word in all the interface files

cracke

jk

bruh steam

i forgot

[thick knoll]

how to fix? they all have continents defined in definition.csv

[lofty plaza]

You're missing Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware.

[thick knoll]

how to fix please?

[lofty plaza]

Show your code

Definitions

[thick knoll]

it all has continents assigned, but still 15700 of this same error occures

[regal tinsel]

that's why I said I was going to divide new england

[lofty plaza]

Delaware too

[lofty plaza]

The the one where the errors start it must be broken

[regal tinsel]

I'm keeping my mod very vanilla and won't be changing the map

👍

[thick knoll]

the first is 0;0;0;0;land;true;unknown;6

but it doesnt start from there

the error starts from the second

2;0;0;55;land;false;forest;1

[lofty plaza]

Wait so it has no ID or RGB?

[thick knoll]

its invalid?

[lofty plaza]

I would imagine that would have something to do with it

[thick knoll]

well it doesnt seem to be the cause

[tulip mango]

is there anyway to quickly assign states in files without having to manually type in each state and assign its cores and new owner to the country tag

[thick knoll]

nudge

but i prefer the code

its faster

[tulip mango]

i use nudge to find the province id then type it into state search for hoi4 then copy and paste it into my state folder for my mod

then yes type it in

is that what you mean?

[thick knoll]

no

you can use the nudge and click on provinces and make them together to a state

but i dont like this way

need restarts

and either way you will need to edit some things in the state file

[pale sparrow]

Unexpected token means you broke a bracket before the line in question usually

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know which file contains the interface for the scenarios/bookmarks?

trying to fix this interface is the biggest pain in the ass ever

single_player_date_bg

He didnt say how to fix the interface

great

[thick knoll]

thats why i dont like his tutorials

its very basic and cant cover a complex mod you can really play on

[lofty plaza]

It's not supposed to be complex

It's supposed to be a basic way of understanding the concept of the function

You need to make a new interface as I said

        GER = {
            set_autonomy = { target = SNG autonomy_state = autonomy_colony }
        }
    }

can someone tell me why its says: [effect.cpp:425]: Invalid effect 'SNG' in common/decisions/BS_GER.txt line : 563

the second line with the SNG = { is 563 but i dont know what SNG even means

Im making a pretty basic country, and i want it to spawn with units in its capital, instead of being stuck with no units and not being able to generate the army experience to make a new template. How would i go about doing that?

i tried just grabbing the units file for england and replacing the tags but that didnt seem to work

better yet, how do i make it so my country starts with a div template

[tall trail]

i figured out my original blunder

[dusty sparrow]

How do you find the character name files for Harry Truman?

[tall trail]

I would just search for it in the hoi4 thing

[granite grail]

can anyone help me with uploading a mod?

I'm trying to upload it and it "cannot find the mod directory."

[median dagger]

Download a random mod from workshop and start the game with it, i think there are not a folder like ''mod'' in your hoi4, you can check the documentaries.

If you already have the file, idk

[lofty plaza]

Search the character file

[median dagger]

I Got 2 question, Is there any easy way to delete all countries from world map? I had to do it for assign new proviences easily and i'll assign the states to countries later.

And where can i find the events like dividing of poland. I mean, where can I edit the states that the soviets captured as a result of molotov-ribbentrop?

[edgy solar]

what files did you use for that?

[frail sapphire]

The event is in the file events/germany

[obtuse condor]

This file

interface file

[edgy solar]

cheers bud

[obtuse condor]

You adding some more scenarios to your mod?

[edgy solar]

uh i will but i also plan to use something similar to the scenario mods

with like two major countries and a bunch of minor ones

[heady gorge]

I want to create icons, what's a good ai to create them except dalle 2?

[obtuse condor]

The first one i sent was my own mods gui

and this is the basegame one

[obtuse condor]

Which file makes bessarabia and eastern poland soviet?

ah i think i found it

event/soviet

No that just for bessarabia not eastern poland

[edgy solar]

eastern polane is under the german event file

[gleaming saffron]

i wanted to create my own radio station mod, everything works alright BUT the stations cover is missing and nothing pops up when I hover over the ,,void" it created. it looks like this

does anyone know how to fix it?

it's no big deal for me but i wanted to upload it to workshop in the future

[obtuse condor]

i cant find the part that transfers the lands to soviet

I cant stand seeing germany controll these lands anymore

[gleaming saffron]

already solved it out myself, just messed some files up

[obtuse condor]

How do you make countries free in later scenarios?

[pale sparrow]

Different owner in state history files for later date

[gleaming saffron]

how do i make it show a normal name insted of this?

[obtuse condor]

yeah but puppets are created in their masters history/countries file

right

[obtuse condor]

do i make canada be the owner in 1982?

will that make canada be a puppet pre 1982 but not post 1982?

[lofty plaza]

Date = {

}

In the history

[pale sparrow]

Just check how vanilla does it for 1939

[obtuse condor]

are there any examples of a certain country being a puppet in 1936 and free in 1939?

i havent seen any

[pale sparrow]

for that you go to the country history file instead of states

[obtuse condor]

what do you write in the history file?

[obtuse condor]

1982.1.1 = {
set_autonomy = {
target = CAN
autonomy_state = autonomy_free
}
}

this?

in the uk file

[pale sparrow]

indeed in the overlord's file

set_autonomy = { target = CAN autonomy_state = autonomy_free }

Is there any way to make divisions pass trough somewhere to somewhere in a impassable state like algeria to west africa? I don't wanna delete the impassable sahra zone.

I just change some of the state's proviences in Xibei San ma and i start to get this error; I cannot understand it, i didn't add a new state just change the proviences.

[edgy pike]

how to use fully custom cosmetic tags without having to copy the "cosmetic.txt" file from the game files? is it possible?

[keen cloak]

I've been dealing with it in a mod I am making and unfortunately I don't think so

compared to most files, adding something additional with an underscore before "cosmetic" doesn't work

now that I've mentioned it, I am making a Korea Overhaul so I am tying all the loose ends caused by Korea being a starting nation (like China White Peace) before I start to work on their actual focus tree.

Here's the start of an additional project branch to Japan

I still need to adjust the focus for communist Japan that gives war goal on Manchuria to also give war goal on Korea with a tag and revamp how Chinese White Peace mechanic works

Coup focuses in Japan ends up setting Korea free with its starting cosmetic tag so it still has a Japanese flag on it, but I want to have an independent fascist branch so making Communist Japan being able to attack Korea whether it was independent or not kinda doesn't make sense

[edgy solar]

thanks managed to get this going

[lofty plaza]

Pacific war mod?

[edgy solar]

yeah with a brand new made map as well

[lofty plaza]

Can smbd tell the core attributes of a Soviet and a mixed economy? Like I searched, but idk how to translate what I'm reading to hoi4 effects

Road to 56 with game rules

[regal tinsel]

heyo does anyone know how to fix this problem where a victory point is locked to the city name it was previously named? I renamed Biloxi to Gulfport on province 4464 (the left biloxi), even as I did everything to rename victory points, it's still locked as "Biloxi"

this also applied to when I tried renaming Washington to "Washington D.C" and New York to "New York City"

[hexed wraith]

Hello everyone I having a problem where i change a province by giving it to another state a making a state with that province and when I do that the just can't load its just crashing

this province

in the middle of nowhere

i have been trying for 2 days nothing i try with nugde tool nothing

and when i make a new state with the nugde tool its also crashing

[median dagger]

Is you in debug mode?

[hexed wraith]

yes

[median dagger]

Why is it crash?

Is there a error?

[hexed wraith]

idk

when i looked in the loge

nothing

its saying that something is wrong with the map

[slender brook]

Tbh I manually edit states without using nudger

[median dagger]

Look for the strategic regions, and buildings

[hexed wraith]

i just tryed

[median dagger]

May they have a issue with the state

[slender brook]

Are you transfering the nudger-made files into the mod folder

[hexed wraith]

no beacuse thsi state was bigger i started to shrink it and when i get to that province its crashed

[hexed wraith]

yes and thats when its crashed

[slender brook]

I can try take a closer look when I get home if you send me the files

[hexed wraith]

which?

[slender brook]

Send the whole mod

[hexed wraith]

okay

this is what i got

[median dagger]

map definition

it's had to be about strategic regions or buildings

[hexed wraith]

its in the same hejaz strategic region and its in the middle of desert nothing in it

[median dagger]

is you use ''random in state'' in building for all states that you make?

[hexed wraith]

yes

and i did verify it

here is the 2 state that i changed

10835 4981 7934 10748 these are the provinces that been changed

[median dagger]

Isn't proviences had to be below buildings?

I use it like that always

[hexed wraith]

its hoi4 everything is every where

i have seen so many places is its not consisting

[median dagger]

Is you try the other option?

[hexed wraith]

what other option?

[median dagger]

Take proviences below buildings

may its work?

[hexed wraith]

its worth a try

its was crashing even faster

[median dagger]

holy crap

I see nothing wrong but i suggest you when create a new state use a original vanilla states copy

[hexed wraith]

this one that i sended its a vanilla province

the pronvince is that i created with the nugde tool that one deleted beacuse its just made more trouble

[median dagger]

Add space between state 854 and proviences

[hexed wraith]

this is what i got

the division are not yet been made

add the resistence is a an error beacuse there is no division to garrision

and nothing is in it then what my problem

[median dagger]

I think crashes are not about state

[hexed wraith]

thene i did not changed anything else

if i reverse the provinceses its fine its loads

when i change the province thats when its crash

[median dagger]

There can be units in original proviences

It's can cause a crash?

You may look for divisions

[hexed wraith]

there is non

i run in circele for this but no

[median dagger]

Well, a true masterpiece needs to be look for it

Sorry

[hexed wraith]

yes

[hexed wraith]

np thx

[median dagger]

I made 90+ state and never get this error

[hexed wraith]

i find something strage when i try to upload the mod into drive the state that i created cannot be uploaded

if its can't even find it

its in hungarian but its translated to its cannot be uploaded

and thats the state that is not working

[median dagger]

Can you send a picture of that state

[hexed wraith]

do you mean the original state?

[median dagger]

Jawf

State

[hexed wraith]

yes

and in the mod i want to look like some want like this

which i did do to medina

and then started crashing

[median dagger]

what did you make to jawf

in your mod

[hexed wraith]

what do you mean?

[median dagger]

there a victory points in provience 12758

which had to be in new jawf

[hexed wraith]

yes that one works

its medina

this is in the mode if i remove the trouboling provinces

the victory point is there

[median dagger]

Im %100 sure, its not about states

everything is correct

[hexed wraith]

yes i know that one

but the log is not telling me what is the problem

and i cannot find it

[median dagger]

bro take a proviences below buildings

that's what happen if its not

to me

[hexed wraith]

your province is missing a }

[median dagger]

my bad wait

i will do what you do

every provience had to be a unitstacks

did you made it?

[hexed wraith]

no

[median dagger]

that's the last thing, nothing left that i know

[hexed wraith]

i do not did anything with units

[median dagger]

Yes but every provience has a unit move section

[hexed wraith]

where?

[median dagger]

Wait for a sec

[hexed wraith]

okay

[median dagger]

I send you something from dm

[median dagger]

can someone explain me what did numbers after terrain type exactly mean? I make proviences, they work absolutely fine there's not a problem but what did they mean really?

how do i remame a country leader

[stray hatch]

How do I replace portraits for an existing leader?
Tried this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2020732698 but it hasnt worked

I converted the png to dds, and put it in the regular naming format

[lofty plaza]

And you modified the character

[stray hatch]

This is all I have changed

[keen cloak]

I am late but just move it like 1 pixel off so it's at most 3 provinces intersecting

it doesn't work if it is 4

also TIL new branch focuses can piggyback off of other branch focuses that have "obsolete_focus_branches_visibility" rule on them because it takes their already offset position as their initial offset

here is before I removed the "obsolete_focus_branches_visibility" offsets leftover from me taking the code of Manchurian Project

here's after

[lofty plaza]

Ah right so you need to define it's GFX_ in gfx/portraits.gfx

Alternatively you could just path it something like large="gfx/leaders/Europe/Portrait_Europe_Generic_land_1.dds"

Obviously adjust it for your own path

[stray hatch]

should i copy portraits into my mod folder or adjust it for the basegame

[lofty plaza]

Put your own portraits into your mod folder

[stray hatch]

would this work>

[lofty plaza]

.dds at the end but yes

[slender brook]

Edit their localisation key

Or their creation file directly if they do not have a localisation key

[timber zenith]

Create the character in common/characters, then use recruit_character in your history/countries file.

in field_marshal, add visible = { has_completed_focus = TAG_your_focus }

[timber zenith]

either the very last one, or invalid region id

I'm new to modding, i tried to duplicate a mod , I changed it's name and path in the descriptor file, it shows up in the mod list, but say's that there is no descriptor file, what do i do to make the mod to be recognised by the game?

[timber zenith]

There isn't a descriptor file in the mod

that's what its missing

[quick phoenix]

i copied the descriptor both in the /mod folder and in the /mod/speed5 folder

[timber zenith]

the path also needs to be a full path

There isn't one in the speed5 folder tho

[quick phoenix]

i also tried, didn't worked

[timber zenith]

ur mod folder i mean

[quick phoenix]

in this image, yes, i copied it in the speed5, still didnt worked

[timber zenith]

That first image is your mod, right?

[quick phoenix]

yes

[timber zenith]

It needs to have a descriptor file in there as well

[quick phoenix]

i made one, still didnt worked

[timber zenith]

called descriptor.mod

[timber zenith]

You can use hidden_modifier, then use custom_modifier_tooltip

[lofty plaza]

You're missing .DDS at the end of the path

You need to include the image format too

I did tell you this before

[stray hatch]

sorry i was tripping lmao

why does my game crash after i editted river so that it's two rivers

[obtuse condor]

i feel like more white peace events would add some flavour to hoi4

an example for mexico

option 1 they take arizonia new mexico texas
option 2 they take socal arizona new mexico texas
option 3 they take all their former lands
option 4 they take greater florida and puerto rico
the usa will get more division defense/attack on mexico with the more harsh peacedeal the mexicans make
the occupied territories instability and resistance will increase with the harsher peace treaty they take

So theres actual repercussions to taking lands

[timber zenith]

hopefully pdx actually makes that

The existing white peace events like finland feel like duct tape over a giant pit of a missing feature

thz, mod was woking earlier but stopped for some reason when i uploaded it

[rugged kiln]

so ive been making this mod that messes with borders a little bit and part of that is Africa being completely decolonized. I went to the states files and gave the african states to the african countries. Another part of the mod is that the start date is set to 2016 and for some reason that makes Algeria colonized again. I cannot figure out how to get Algeria free. Its only Algeria for some reason and im out of ideas on how to fix it.

hey guys so i finished my mod and it works 100% but when i upload it to steam workshop and subcribe to it and start a game it doesn't work even though all of it works before uploading

how i can remove the cosmetic tag when the puppeteer country get annexed

[dry compass]

I have a simple question

Dose the Mod ToolPack when left enabled allows AI to take advantage of the toolpack that forgot to turn off?

[timber zenith]

It's not actually artificial intelligence, the "ai" is only capable of doing what it's programmed to do, and toolpack doesn't modify the ai

[timber zenith]

Remove the cosmetic tag of the puppet, or the overlord?

when which country gets annexed?

[dry compass]

so that means I don't have to worry about pausing the game time just to use toolpack?

Because toolpack is basically similar to hoi 4 commands

[timber zenith]

Yep that's right

The ai can't use commands either

[dry compass]

But what if the Commands like "nocb" was enabled by me

[timber zenith]

I'm not sure about that one

I don't think so tho

I know they can use focus.ignoreprerequisites and nochecks, but not autocomplete

[timber zenith]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands Wiki says which commands affect ai

[median dagger]

Guys, how can I create a modifier and add its value to the value of a variable (something similar to how stability works)?

[pale sparrow]

@brittle timberYou cannot discuss cracked game

[obtuse condor]

how do i make so that every county has this idea?

and that it starts on 1st january 1400

and it changes and expires every 36500 days

fifteenth_century = {
picture = century

        allowed = {
            always = yes
        }

        allowed_civil_war = {
            always = YES
        }
        removal_cost = -1
        
        modifier = {
        production_speed_industrial_complex_factor = -0.100%

        }
    }

What do i change about this?

[pale sparrow]

% symbols are never used outside localization

[obtuse condor]

how do i choose percentage then

[pale sparrow]

check the wiki

[obtuse condor]

anyways that was not the main problem i had with the file

i want every country to have the idea

[pale sparrow]

on action

on_game_start -> every_possible_country -> add_ideas = fifteenth_century

[obtuse condor]

on_actions = {

on_startup = {
    # century ideas
    effect = {

on_game_start -> every_possible_country -> add_ideas = fifteenth_century
IF = {
limit = {
}
}
}
}
}

this?

[pale sparrow]

not literally, that was the pseudocode

[obtuse condor]

on_actions = {

on_startup = {
    # century ideas
    effect = {

on_game_start
every_possible_country
add_ideas = fifteenth_century
IF = {
limit = {
}
}
}
}
}

This?

[22:01:09][parser.cpp:932]: Error: unexpected token in file: "common/on_actions/colonialism_on_actions.txt" near line: 7 ( on_game_start )
[22:01:09][effect.cpp:425]: Invalid effect 'on_game_start' in common/on_actions/colonialism_on_actions.txt line : 7
[22:01:09][trigger.cpp:494]: Error: "Unknown effect-type: on_game_start, near line: 7" in file: "common/on_actions/colonialism_on_actions.txt" near line: 11

great

[obtuse condor]

none of the countries have the idea

[pale sparrow]

check wiki for the correct syntax

on_startup you already have, remove the on_game_start

brackets for every_possible_country, then it should work

[obtuse condor]

This?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[obtuse condor]

thanks

[lilac spear]

I want the cosmetic tag to be removed from Morocco when french got annexed

[lilac spear]

there is a problem when french got annexed the name of the cosmetic tag removed but the flag and color of the cosmetic tag remains

[keen cloak]

me making a focus tree but not actually taking Marco Polo Incident in mind is a bruh moment

I am making a mod for Korea, which starts as an Imperial Protectorate which can't decline any wars. I did somehow unknowingly manage to make it so that you can choose your own path and complete the civil war preparations but there's only 100~ days of free time so you can't do anything else 💀

[dusty sparrow]

I'm trying to make custom flags
I have the .TGA thing and I'm setting them to 82x52 but it's still not working

It still comes up as blank

[woven sparrow]

how can i fix this?

[timber zenith]

You'll want to create an on_action with the on_annex scope

In Magna Europa Reloaded we had heaps of issues getting the puppets that were so on startup to drop their cosmetic tags when they got independent, so what we did instead was to make a decision that puppet nations like Morocco or Tunisia could select when they got free, that would just drop their cosmetic tags

[timber zenith]

You could probably put the names in the event itself, like long_name = "This Is My Party Name"

[arctic marsh]

Have MOD to speed time about 1945 ? Because 1945 up time very slow

[obtuse condor]

MAKE A ZOMBIE MOD

FOR MILLENIUM DAWN PLZZZ

[lilac spear]

on_annex = {
effect = {
every_country = {
limit = {
OR = {
original_tag = MOR
}
is_puppet = no
}
drop_cosmetic_tag = yes
}
}
} like that ?

[timber zenith]

If 1945 could be fast it would be

[median dagger]

Guys, please help.
I created a variable and I want that when a certain idea is selected, the value of this variable is increased by 10, and when another idea is selected, the value of this variable is increased by 20, replacing the bonus from the previous one. How can I do this? Do you have any ideas? I haven't found anything on this in the Paradox Wiki

[arctic marsh]

Ah I mean above 1945 time speed are slow what mod have time speed about 1936 or normal time speed

[timber zenith]

after 1945 the game has much more to compute, which means that it slows down

[pale sparrow]

None

Pretty sure the issue is not fixable by mod, and isnt related to unit count or equipment count alone

It could however be the complexity of many units that also have 30 types of equipment that choose from lategame

[timber zenith]

would removing cores of releasables help with that?

[west turtle]

i'm trying to make a war at the start date but it just doesn't work
if = {
limit = {
has_start_date < 1918.11.12
}

declare_war_on = {
    target = GEM
    type = annex_everything
}

}

[pale sparrow]

Youd be working around a cause thats likely hardcoded

[stuck quarry]

This is quite possibly a stupid question and might already be part of the game, but how would i go about applying a cosmetic tag to a country when its released as a puppet

[timber zenith]

Do you want to change just the name, or the flag as well?

[stuck quarry]

Mostly color and flag

Aslong as its possible to change the color

[timber zenith]

Do you want the colour to be the same as the overlord? It's much easier

[stuck quarry]

Yea same as the overlord country

Got a large country in my mod which controls alot of land and want to add the ability to release alot of it as puppets but keep the color bc of the pure color/border gore that would take place otherwise

[obtuse condor]

messing with characters in arrays, country name gets returned instead - anything else i could try?

[astral geyser]

In adjacencies.csv what is the difference between province1;province2;;seaprovince and province1;province2;sea;seaprovince?

[timber zenith]

You can modify the autonomous_states files by including use_overlord_color = yes within the autonomy_state scope

[obtuse condor]

gettokenlocalizedkey worked instead of getname

[quiet widget]

gyus how do I give the Soviet Union a new state i made in the molotov ribebentrop pact?????/

[woven sparrow]

hello I wanted to know how I can put custom traits for my mod

[stuck quarry]

Based thanks

[timber zenith]

Yup, replacing existing GFX files doesn't affect ironman compatibility

[timber zenith]

No worries

[timber zenith]

In one of the scripted_effects files IIRC there's a section called mr_transfer_state_effect, you'll want to add it there

[quiet widget]

thank yoooooooou

[timber zenith]

I'm not too sure about that one, I can't remember if they're the same, check an existing general and see if the link to their portrait is the same as one to a leader

[timber zenith]

No problem

If the lines are different then you can probably have 2 different portraits

[quiet widget]

it wrkos thakns!1111!!1!

[timber zenith]

Awesome

[languid wigeon]

Hey anyone know how to add resources to all nation or to a map ?

[lofty plaza]

Go to the state history file

[languid wigeon]

I oh thank i solved

[quiet widget]

How could I remove states from Reichskommissariat Ostland if the states I'm trying to remove are from Belarus? Reichskommissariat Ostland is Belarus so just not adding it to the part of the German Decision file of it won't work.

[timber zenith]

Do you want to remove cores, or just remove the states themselves?

The code probably says release = BLR which you'll want to change to transfer_state instead

[quiet widget]

I mean not have the states in Ostland when its formed

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the code in the decision?

[quiet widget]

yeah hold on i just turned on my computer

[timber zenith]

Ping me when you're ready

[quiet widget]

It's too long to send

[timber zenith]

Just upload that specific decision

[quiet widget]

Like the name?

GER_reichskommissariat_ostland

[slender brook]

Or just send the text file

[sonic hornet]

anyone thinking what if HOI4 has like a sports mod where nations compete in competitions and cups and if they win or smth they get stability or ws idk im a dead man

[nimble solar]

That would be kinda funny to gain +1% stability because you got a ton of medals at the olympics

[sonic hornet]

yeah and get like pp or something lol

i would love to see a sports mod so you get something to do pre-war

like what if theres a sports mod thats compatible with most mods and i would play KR or something and have Don-Kuban FC vs French Commune or smth

that would be lit

[real ember]

did rt56 have an update?

like recently which changed the focus trees of some countries

[tall totem]

I want a company mod like Coca Cola

Sprite

[timber zenith]

You can check if it's been updated on the workshop page

[real ember]

how do I get more purple exp?

[chilly field]

where do i find news event description files

[timber zenith]

localisation

events_l_english.yml

[chilly field]

ty

btw is there a piece of code i could use that renames a leader when a focus is completed?

when i do austria-hungary restoration focus i want otto to rename to Otto I instead of his name being Otto von habsburg

[timber zenith]

    ideology = neutrality
    name = LOC_KEY
}```

[chilly field]

Ty

[dapper hound]

Does anyone know a mod that adds more german states, duchies and principalities

[tawdry pond]

does anyone know how i can actually play the mod

[heady gorge]

GFX PROBLEM. Kinda. I want to use some dlc portraits, but don't want to coppy them to my mod, as it's going to get taken down. So can I just make btfb required and use them normally?

[real ember]

wdym like what mod

[timber zenith]

Magna Europa: Reloaded

Very good mod 10/10

[summer comet]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778772474 Hi everyone, I just updated my International Arms Market Mod for By Blood Alone. please give it a shot and report any bugs or missing localisation.

[fallow loom]

one of mods (Road to 56) had this description when you capture the city by time `September 22, 1945, 06:00 (6 a.m.): Oberleutnant Dieter Schultz, a man of cold practicality, instructs his paratroopers in a thick German accent, "Wir rächen uns an diesen Amis. Macht sie fertig!" ("We are avenging ourselves on these Americans. Take them down!"). And so begins a morning of ruthless executions along Orchard Street, Ludlow Street, and Stanton Street.

September 22, 1945, 08:00 (8 a.m.): In the heart of Harlem, at the junction of 125th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, Hauptmann Rolf Bauer orchestrates a scene of unthinkable horror. Groups of men, women, and children are encircled by paratroopers and brutally massacred with machine guns. Their bodies lay scattered around the once-bustling square.

September 22, 1945, 10:00 (10 a.m.): In the Upper West Side, Sturmbannführer Werner Eckhardt takes a sinister approach. His men storm the Lincoln Center, taking hostage patrons and staff present. They're all herded onto the stage of the David Geffen Hall, where they're executed in a gruesome display of terror.

September 22, 1945, 13:00 (1 p.m.): Meanwhile, in Central Park, an even more horrifying spectacle unfolds. Untersturmführer Gunther Fischer orders his men to gather families for a "special announcement". As crowds gather around Bethesda Terrace, a hail of bullets is unleashed, turning the tranquil scene into a terrifying bloodbath.`

also some of more this weird shit `September 22, 1945, 15:00 (3 p.m.): In Central Park, Untersturmführer Gunther Fischer justifies the mass shootings as, "Ein notwendiger Akt der Vergeltung. Ihre Schmerzen sind unser Triumph!" ("A necessary act of retribution. Their pain is our triumph."), as families are rounded up around Bethesda Terrace. The crack of gunfire is punctuated by Fischer's laughter, the smell of blood and gunpowder a sweet perfume to him.

September 22, 1945, 18:00 (6 p.m.): As the night falls, Times Square, the Crossroads of the World, becomes a macabre stage for Hauptmann Otto Beckmann's sadism. Civilians are tied to the iconic advertising billboards and executed in a display of public terror. The neon lights and billboards eerily illuminate the horrifying spectacle.

September 22, 1945, 22:00 (10 p.m.): The carnage continues into the night. Throughout Manhattan, from the gentrified blocks of SoHo to the residential streets of Hell's Kitchen, German paratroopers carry out an unrelenting spree of terror and violence, burning buildings, shooting at fleeing residents, and leaving the city in ruins.

September 23, 1945, 02:00 (2 a.m.): As the city descends further into horror, another paratrooper, Viktor Weiss, lets out a maniacal laugh, shouting, "Schaut euch das an! New York brennt! Das ist unser Sieg!" ("Look at this! New York is burning! This is our victory!") His chilling words echo through the burning, blood-soaked streets of the city that never sleeps.

September 22, 1945, 15:30 (3:30 p.m.): In the crowded streets of Queens, Unteroffizier Kurt Berger in a Panzer IV makes a sickening display of terror. He ties innocent civilians to the turret of his tank, parading them around the neighborhood like gruesome ornaments. "Lasst sie unsere Kriegstrophaen sein!" ("Let them be our war trophies!"), he shouts, his laughter echoing over the rumble of the tank engine.

[woven sparrow]

why am i having a problem with this? I don't know what I modified to make this happen and nothing appears in the error log.

[keen cloak]

did you put inside the text file only what you've replaced or everything with what you replaced?

some stuff is quirky when it comes to replacing so you have to put the entire localisation file, replace what you need to replace, and then put that file inside a "replace" folder within localisation/english

[timber zenith]

or you can change the file name

[obtuse condor]

Hi, Can you use any Modifier in Ideas?

[keen cloak]

you'll get loc key errors

what you said works most of the time but in some cases it won't

then you'd need to replace

[timber zenith]

If it's got all the vanilla lines in there as well, yeah, but not if they're on their own

[keen cloak]

also completely unrelated but this is my face when the only face image of this guy is 150x150 pixels and he's wearing a cap

making a Korea mod so I am gonna add him as a general for the communist branch

[valid apex]

You should be

[obtuse condor]

thx

[pale sparrow]

Pretty sure thats not Road to 56

[lofty plaza]

It is not

[pliant reef]

is anyone any good at making flags or know a way to have something make a flag for me

[lofty plaza]

What did you have in mind?

[pliant reef]

i need to make flags for kergulen this is the communist one. I need a facist authortarian and a democratic one

but i am not good at making flags

[lofty plaza]

I'm not sure what they stand for

Nobody actually lives there

[pliant reef]

well its a french overseas territory

[obtuse condor]

Hello guys

[lilac spear]

i can't put my mod public on steam workshop

[slender brook]

Do you have a full-access Steam account

Essentially, have you bought I think 5 USD direcyly from the Steam store

If not, you have a restricted account

[grim egret]

What causes this?

[lilac spear]

u need to use portrait in dds format not png

[grim egret]

Kaiserreich does this and does not go monke.

[grim egret]

This is Kaiserredux, by the way.

[valid apex]

Those doesnt have little picture like the advior one

[lilac spear]

how i can fix this

[grim bough]

Sounds like someone is missing a descriptor.mod file

[lilac spear]

nah i have the descriptor file

i fixed all the errors in the error log and they still give me the same issue

[grim bough]

are you trying to update your existing mod or uploading a new one?

[lilac spear]

just a update

[grim bough]

maybe i'm wrong, It could be the mod's id number being different from you mods [name_of_mod].mod file and its corresponding descriptor.mod file.

or maybe the launcher is unable to find your mod in the specified directory because of a change made by the computer.

[tall trail]

maybe im stupid but i cannot get a national focus to work, maybe i messed up the iron workshops tutorial but idk. It doesnt show up in my focus tree

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the whole file?

[tall trail]

@timber zenith

[lilac spear]

i tried to upload it as new mod but they still give the same problem

[tall trail]

update the descriptor file?

espcecially the name portion

[timber zenith]

Maybe do ELD_the_fate_of_eldia

as the focus name

and remove the prerequisite

[tall trail]

okay

it was the prerequisite that was wrong

[timber zenith]

Did it work?

[tall trail]

Yes

thanks

[timber zenith]

Nice, no problem

[lilac spear]

i checked its all right

[tall trail]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

check the other one too?

should be right next to one of your "Real Morocco" files

[tall trail]

remove the other "Real Morocco" folder from your mod folder

[lilac spear]

ok

still the same problem here's the mod files

[obtuse condor]

where you trying to update mod? steam or paradox

[lilac spear]

paradox

[hardy scaffold]

is there anyway to decrease the this a general reassign form one army to other?

[obtuse condor]

[high hatch]

I have questions:

1. How I can get GetAdjective for a country with event_target:my_variable? I test that but doesn’t work the things in []:

france_rework_yalta_division_wgr_tt:0 "Ces États vont intégrer la sphère d'influence §Y[event_target:yalta_origin.GetAdjective]§! :\n"
 france_rework_yalta_division_ddr_tt:0 "Ces États vont intégrer la sphère d'influence §Y[event_target:yalta_partner.GetAdjective]§! :\n"

2. It is possible to enumerate a list of state in a localisation with a specific state_flag?

[high hatch]

For the 1, we need to not write « event_target: » before the name of the event_target 🤦🏻.

[modern solstice]

what's what?

[brisk snow]

Hey how do I give a focus a war goal against a random neighboring country?

[pale sparrow]
