[lapis mango]

How do i add custom traits to a country leader?

[obtuse condor]

mods

[lapis mango]

👏

[obtuse condor]

or changing a script

[obtuse condor]

common/country_leader/00_traits.txt (if you want to create your own) you add it to character in common/characters/(country) add it under ideology, example:

there is example of 2 traits you can add much as you want i dont know the limit so

just give space between every-one

i think there is no limit

[obtuse condor]

idk maybe not but i didnt tried adding 100 traits XD

i never changed the traits

so idk

[lapis mango]

I see, where can i find a list of modifiers? (For example i wanna give a research bonus and communist gain to the trait)

[obtuse condor]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

[lapis mango]

Thank you

[obtuse condor]

no problem

[lapis mango]

It mentions that research bonuses to specific technology isn't a modifier, so how do i give my leader a research bonus for nuclear technology then?

[obtuse condor]

I don't know, it's probably impossible

i never do that so

i know you can add research speed

but idk if this one

you can add bonuses to specific technology in focus

[lapis mango]

What about an idea, you think i can add nuclear research bonus to a country idea?

[obtuse condor]

idea is the same as trait

[lapis mango]

Oh

[obtuse condor]

its both modifier

i know there is race for the bomb idea?

wait a minute

idk if its idea

@lapis mango modifier = {
production_speed_nuclear_reactor_factor = 0.2
}
research_bonus = {
nuclear = 0.15
}

maybe just this: production_speed_nuclear_reactor_factor = (number)

but u want research_bonus?

idk so maybe try the idea

[gaunt patio]

Can someone help? I am trying to backup a current version of the mod

I copied the steam workshop folder to the paradox mods folder

[gaunt patio]

What do I actually have to do

[high hatch]

Good evening.
I want help for debugging fra_split_germany.4. For a unknown reason, the event_target set in event fra_split_germany.1 isn’t working. But even when I rewrite in this event (not in this file), isn’t working. It is to merge any germany with the same ideology or master to WGR or DDR.
Thanks you in advance.

[obtuse condor]

i will see

try this

[high hatch]

I will check tomorrow. Thanks.

[obtuse condor]

i am not sure if i fixed it

[wanton veldt]

What is the entity name for the stuart's model

[lime mural]

This error makes my mod litterally unplayable. I can't even start the game (I have checked steam files)

[lofty plaza]

Well you changed something with the map

[lime mural]

I changed 2 provinces from state in history/states

[lofty plaza]

Then you must of done something wrong

I can't be more specific since I don't know what you've done

[lime mural]

I opened nudge and seems everything correct

Wait, I forgot to add a flag for a new country

I also didnt change the building

It worked! SO, for people with similar problems: change the buildings from state in map/building.txt then go to nudge and press buildings then validate all.

[lofty plaza]

That shouldn't crash your game just create a map error

But if it worked who am I to say

[mental ingot]

who will be my mentors in hoyke 4 mod making? <@&548634482043912212>

[delicate plume]

hey guys

i want to make a stard date for 1942

i got everything

but when i make the bookmark

the select date

its outside of the window you know

[stuck sentinel]

are u making a mod are adding mods to ur game?

[delicate plume]

in which file i can edit the positions of it?

[sonic hazel]

Making a mod.

[stuck sentinel]

depends

[sonic hazel]

I just want to see how it is

[stuck sentinel]

what is it for

[sonic hazel]

I am going for changing portraits just to keep it simple for now

[stuck sentinel]

it shouldn’t be to bad

i personally havnt modded

but music and portraits are easy to do

[sonic hazel]

Ah that's good to hear

[stuck sentinel]

with music the only real proble is just converting it all to MP3s and typing

[sonic hazel]

ain't that bad then

[stuck sentinel]

anything above that may be a little more complicated

[sonic hazel]

alright cheers

Was just a quick wonder

[stuck sentinel]

no problem

[gaunt patio]

I want to backup a current version of the mod, can someone help? Thanks

I have copied the mod file from the steam workshop to the paradox mod section

However, all of the current files (except the one I copied) look like video files

The one I copied looks like a normal folder

What do I have to do now?

Update: I read I need to change the descriptor file (I assume it's the DS_Store file)

But I have no idea what to do, the file looks weird

[steady stratus]

I believe it might be possible that your files look like video files just because your OS doesn't recognize the file type and hence doesn't know how to properly display it

that's the case for me at least and if it is for you it is probably just a visual thing

but maybe I misunderstood your problem, as long as your extensions and stuff like that are correct you should be good

[dense ibex]

hello

i like hoi5'

[timber zenith]

I too am schizophrenic

[gaunt patio]

The files work fine, but when I try to open them, they can't open

And it tries to play a video

But fails

[timber zenith]

What do you mean by "backup"?

You can just make a copy of the mod

ds_store isn't the descriptor btw. it'll be called descriptor.mod

or ugc_mod file number.mod

[steady stratus]

yeah I assume you are on windows, you hve to right click and use "open with" to select a text editor

[gaunt patio]

Thank you!

[steady stratus]

no problem!

it is a lil confusing so I get you haha

[gaunt patio]

Hahaha yeah, and I don't have prior experience with such stuff (I got a pc a year ago)

[steady stratus]

understandable

best of luck with your mod

[gaunt patio]

I had a shit pc that I never used prior to that

[gaunt patio]

Thanks! Thankfully I'm just trying to backup a current version of a mod though (already hard enough)

I really appreciate your help

[steady stratus]

No problem!

holy shit I love github

[obtuse condor]

can someone tell me pls how to claim region or even full country when focus completed

[steady stratus]

for annexing a country you would inside the completion_reward effect block write

annex_country = {
country =
}

I don't know if you mean states or regions or if you mean to generate a claim on a region or to annex it

I am not sure if you can transfer the ownership of whole strategic regions without using some special scripted effects

if you want to transfer a state you could use transfer_state

it really depends on what you want to accomplish but all of this stuff can be found on the wiki for modding

I can also suggest just finding a focus from a country that does what you want to do, then finding it in the hoi4 game files and just copying what it does

[obtuse condor]

Thanks

[steady stratus]

no problem

[exotic pewter]

how do I unsubscribe from a deleted steam mod

[steady stratus]

no clue

@obtuse condor what are you modding?

[obtuse condor]

I'm trying to make a focus tree/ characters for russian fashist route

[steady stratus]

alr is it supposed to expand the soviet tree and make the fascist route more fleshed out or is it supposed to be a tree that becomes avaliable only once you have had a civil war or something like that?

and how much do you know about modding

[obtuse condor]

I'm pretty much trying to make an addition to the fashist tree after revolution. After Dismantle Zemsky sobor I want a "Adigamov Coup" that puts another made up character in power and gives you some more focuses

[obtuse condor]

I made 1 mod once putting my great grandfather in the game as general lol

[steady stratus]

ok, well I'm not all that familiar with how the russian tree works after you switch ideology, is it a completely new tree?

[obtuse condor]

uhhh

wanna go in vc?

[steady stratus]

I might have time in some like 30 mins

if it isn't a huge inconvenience

[obtuse condor]

no it's all goog

good

I'll dm u so i'm in your dms

[steady stratus]

ok I checked out that tree I think I get what you mean now

sorry really not that familiar with soviet tree haha

[steady stratus]

go right ahead

[obtuse condor]

aaal good

[lofty plaza]

It's a discord server

[fervent cove]

does someone know a mod of player led border conflicts?

i found one, but it doesn't work

and the one for NSB is kinda chaotic

[valid halo]

is it easy for one person to make a big mod

[fervent cove]

I don't think the programming part is that hard, most of the codes are pretty simple, but being alone in the modding part is kinda complicated, because for a big mod, there's a lot to do, and you'll have to have all the portraits, small, large, change the countries things one by one

it will take long, but i don't think it would be that hard

[timber zenith]

Nope

[valid halo]

ok i will make a smaller mod

[timber zenith]

It's not the coding itself that's difficult, it's the ammount of it that makes it difficult

[fervent cove]

Yee, exactly

[lofty plaza]

It's time consuming

[obtuse condor]

who is better?
for who is our enemy

[steady stratus]

project management is the problem

[valid halo]

does last election mean the first election of the country when you start

[steady stratus]

even if you can't drag more people into working on the code itself due to noone else knowing how to do it I still suggest having people around you be invested in the project so that you can brainstorm with others and bounce ideas off one another

there are also a lot of different components going into a big mod which isn't coding

so a wide range of expertise is good and such a thing is likely to be found by employing more people

and it makes it less of a hassle

[steady stratus]

no clue but you could probably find something about it on the wiki

somewhere

or try to test your way into figuring it out

[lime mural]

I wanted to back up a current version of a mod, I backed it up, and the backed up version was working, but the actual one wasn't. I opened the descriptor file of the backed up version and removed the path code and the actual original mod was working fine, although the new version was nowhere to be seen.

Its right of the 212th, i added as many as i can except for 5 others if im not mistaken

Let me guess u part of the 104th server 😂😂

Same

[obtuse condor]

Good evening everyone (thank you for welcoming me in this wonderful server) I recently acquired the DLC The Resistance, and I noticed that no matter whether i play Orleanist or Legitimist France the flag is the same for both (which is historically not RP). So I wanted to create one specifically for the Orléanists. I went to GFX>flags, and I simply took the line "fra_third_empire_neutrality.tga" (copied) and replaced by "fra_orleans_neutrality.tga", and the same for medium and small flags. But when i'm in game, if medium and small work, the main flag is in black flag. How can this be remedied, and besides how is it that the Bonapartists have their own line code of flag, but not the Orleanists? What solution can I find? Thank you in advance!

[lofty plaza]

Irrelevant I know but I like your bf1 profile pic

[gaunt patio]

Yo, I'm a mod author for dark ui and I just got pissed that someone uses my mod with no credits and just reported it on steam page. After some thoughts on it, I felt quite bad since my mod is old like a year old and just came back and it's shit anyways. I was going to say in the comment of that mod to just keep using it since I would be going to redo the whole mod. But the mod got links taken down and comments disabled.

Is it going to be fine?

Anyone got some fun mods I could play? I have already played kaiserreich, rt56, millennium dawn

[gaunt patio]

I have backed up a current mod version, it works fine, but the original mod doesn't work if there is a valid path in the backed up mod's descriptor file. After I delete the file, the original mod works fine. Can anyone provide a solution that would make both mods be available at the same time, without deleting and retyping the path

[lofty plaza]

Yes it looks stupid af

Good job Elon you lost all brand recognition overnight

[gaunt patio]

I found the problem! But idk the solution

[ancient magnet]

can you make suggestions for mods in here as well?

[gaunt patio]

The mod is thousand week reich

Both the official mod and the backed up version's decriptor file have the name twr

To be exact, twr.mod

And the path is path="mod/twr/"

I think I need to separate the official mod descriptor file and the backed up mod's descriptor file

But idk how

Does anyone here know how to separate them?

Extra info: it crashes while loading databases

[steady stratus]

you also have the wiki

[steady stratus]

what do you mean?

[ancient magnet]

I have an idea for a mod

[steady stratus]

I mean I guess you could tryr to rizz up some people who might be interested or just like leave suggestions

[ancient magnet]

basically it works kinda like naval bombers

but using the coastal forts

[steady stratus]

but I doubt that someone would just take the idea and develop it

[ancient magnet]

it could be either a different building or it could just be part of the coastal fort

[steady stratus]

you mean like coastal artillery?

[ancient magnet]

but it would project naval power for the tile that borders it

yeah

it would be pretty cool to see

[steady stratus]

yeah I have thought about that and it seems like a cool idea

[ancient magnet]

so navys that do shore bombardment actually get destroyed unless they bomb out the coastal forts before

[steady stratus]

but I don't really think it has that much of a place in the game

[ancient magnet]

I mean for the atlantic wall it would be cool

[steady stratus]

you already have naval bombers and stuff

[ancient magnet]

and also another idea for a building would be tank traps

[steady stratus]

yeah it would I guess

[ancient magnet]

which makes tanks and motorized have like -50% breakthrough and -70% movement

[steady stratus]

but if it is built province wise then you could build a lot of coastal artillery and then you would have to try to figure out how that would affect naval supremacy

[ancient magnet]

yeah good point

[steady stratus]

again based idea i guess

[ancient magnet]

ty

[steady stratus]

you could try to build it yourself

[ancient magnet]

I don't know crap about modding but I can try to figure it out

[steady stratus]

yeah

what you are suggesting probably really isn't all that easy

though

[vagrant portal]

can someone give me some good map mod?

normal map got boring

[real storm]

I’m playing Primo Victoria and Facist Romania just joined Comintern

I am confused

[sand mauve]

holy crap i just got an idea

so you can access the locked dlc focus trees for countries in the focus tree files

what if i took that

and put it in a mod

boom, mod with dlc focus trees

not any other features, just the focus trees

[steady stratus]

yeaaah and those focus trees frequently make use of the content found in the dlcs

and are all of the like image files for the dlcs stored in the base game and locked behind a normal has_dlc check or are they downloaded when you get the dlc

[sand mauve]

well i can remove the checks in the mod

[steady stratus]

cause if that's the case you might be able to have the focus trees but it won't have any icons anywhere

[sand mauve]

also ive done it before on the xbox version

[steady stratus]

seems like it does work

although doing so would probably be pirating

[sand mauve]

its just focuses, nothing else is being released

also its techincally paradoxes fault for making a horrible dlc checkign system

[steady stratus]

yeah it is still intellectual property though

just because it is a focus tree that yo ucould relatively easily make yourself doesn't mean that it doesn't belong to paradox

and if you try to cheat yourself into getting that stuff for free

or giving it to others for free

that is both illegal and against the rules of this very server

stuff that could get you

✨ banned ✨

[sand mauve]

guess i wont then

also yeha that makes sense, pirating crimes apparently become way worse when you distribute whatever

[steady stratus]

I suppose so

it is also hella easier to get caught if you actually publicize your pirating ventures

so again

stupid thing to do

[sand mauve]

what if i recreate the entire focus tree my self and change one thing

[steady stratus]

the following is speculation and I don't know what paradox claim rights over since modding is obviously allowed so I think that you could in theory recreate an entire tree with identical effects and all

not sure about if you could use focus icons only available in the dlc since that would then be made free

then again doing such a thing takes one hell of a lot of time

which is why it costs money to begin with

[sand mauve]

you know what ill just let people pay for dlcs, 20 bucks is a reasonable price

sometimes its a reasonable price

[steady stratus]

but I am also entirely sure that they are entirely able to claim that having made the tree, it's content and it's layout is something that they have exclusive rights over

[steady stratus]

doesn't matter if it is, they are a company and can charge whatever they want for their products

[sand mauve]

i can change the position slightly and then make my own changes to a tree that i think drag it down

oh wait, then its just a hoi4 focus tree mod

[steady stratus]

ooooor you can just make your own tree

and use a little bit of creative effort as well

instead of stealing other peoples work

[sand mauve]

ok

[steady stratus]

or heck go work for paradox

[sand mauve]

i will i guess

[obtuse condor]

and I have .tga files for every flag size and ideology

in the TAG_ideology.tga format

although once the cosmetic tag is applied the flag stays the same

and I cannot for the life of me figure out why 🥲

hm

I got the small and medium flags to work for some reason

didn't someone have this exact issue before??

[tribal laurel]

any mods to prevent italo balbo death

[nimble solar]

It is a dice roll

Sometimes he survives

Sometimes the plane doesn't crash and no one dies

I actually only had him die twice with another 2 times he survives, gains the harsh leader trait and someone else dies.

I think once the plane didn't get shot down

[edgy solar]

Some focuses decrease the chances if Air accidents try get as many done and see if he survived

[lofty plaza]

It isn't modified with air accident chance

[nimble solar]

I'm pretty sure it is dice rolls

[lofty plaza]

There is more or less just a chance of it happening in the right conditions

[edgy solar]

Hi, I was modifying TGWR, and I noticed that in the characters file for every country, in the name tab it says "(country tag)_(name)" instead of "(name)"
Where are these names stored if not in the file?

Here is an example of what i see for Cathal Brugha

characters={
IRE_cathal_brugha={
name="IRE_cathal_brugha"
portraits={
civilian={
large="gfx/leaders/IRE/IRE_cathal_brugha.png"
small="GFX_idea_generic_army_europe_6"
}
}
country_leader={
ideology=classical_liberalism
I've seen this type of thing when modifying other mods aswell

[steady stratus]

If I understood your problem right they are stored in localisation files

Basically what they do is decide what text is actually going to appear on screen

[pale sparrow]

Yes

Hey, so I'm trying to make a radio station mod but since I'm completely illiterate in HOI4 modding I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWUhe70ue6A. The mod works completely fine and plays normally but my only problem is this oversized icon in the Image I sent that takes up the entire radio station selection area. I tried making the width and length smaller in the mod files but they had 0 effect. I also looked through the wiki and couldn't find anything either, Anyone know how to fix this??

[sharp girder]

tried to import the generic focus tree inside the soviet one as a base to create my own but it appears like this and I can't select anything. my manually created path is working tho

[slender brook]

It's because they have the same focus names.

[sharp girder]

So I need to change the id of each focus ?

[slender brook]

Yes

You can do this very easily by using a search and replace function

[sharp girder]

yup it's working !

thanks

[rough zinc]

There is a music mod creation tool

Which completely simplifies the process

you just have to upload .ogg files

https://runite-drill.github.io/music-mod-creation-tool/

I've used it myself and it works

Sometimes it breaks though and doesnt include one of the key files

if that happens just go in their discord server and ask the owner for help

[obtuse condor]

how do i make this gfx file the shape of ile de france?

[timber zenith]

you'd have to move the pixels to be in the shape of ile de france

[obtuse condor]

[timber zenith]

pencil or pen tool

[obtuse condor]

How would i make parts of it clear?

[timber zenith]

            expire="2026.1.1.1"
            id=-1
        }
    }``` so by example, helena would be first?

[manic wolf]

also would it be possible to add the same leader for more than 1 ideology

[tardy adder]

???????

[manic wolf]

for the desc does it say desc_x name

[tardy adder]

the description is the one i set but instead of showing the text i assigned its just saying the title of it, if that makes sense

this is what my folder structure looks like

[manic wolf]

you dont have a localization file from what i see and why does it say gfx?

[lofty plaza]

The English folder needs to be inside the localisation folder

The game just doesn't load your localisation because the filing is wrong

[tardy adder]

i tried that tho

[tardy adder]

idk i followed a tutorial

[tardy adder]

still doing it

[manic wolf]

whats your code block for whats messing up look like?

[tardy adder]

i dont get what i did wrong tbh

[manic wolf]

hmm

[tardy adder]

maybe the tutorial is outdated or smth idk

[lofty plaza]

You put 1 instead of an I in the file name

It should be Whatever_I_english

[tardy adder]

okay ill try

is that a uppercase i or an L?

well still doesnt work

its something to do with the code not detecting the localisation im guessing

[manic wolf]

maybe try light code edits to the bookmark files?

    bookmark = {
        name = "GATHERING_STORM_NAME"
        desc = "GATHERING_STORM_DESC"
        date = 1984.1.1.12
        picture = "GFX_select_date_1936"
        default_country = "HUN"
        default = yes
        

        "HUN"={
            history = "HUN_Tensions_Start"
            ideology = democratic
            ideas = {
                home_of_the_free
            }
            focuses = {
            }
        }```

like this small edits

once its in a work state make edits from there

small ones

cause its probably a bracket issue

[lofty plaza]

I

Lowercase L

If that doesn't work try the other because honestly I don't quite remember

[tardy adder]

wdym by small edits

[manic wolf]

dont change any brackets and keep the name convetion similar

also loc shoud be localisation/english/Whatever_I_english.yml

[tardy adder]

okay i finally fixed it lol but i have a question on how do i replace the current 1936 and 1939 start dates with my new custom one?

[manic wolf]

well, thats easy :D, if you wanted to replace just one, for the example im using blitzkrieg, you woud open the file of the one your replacing and delete all text or option make your file's data in blitzkrieg, i prefer option 1

(mine has a 3rd rising_tensions.txt which u cant see in the image cause its the vanilla hoi4 folder)

[tardy adder]

i only have one in the bookmarks folder which is mine

[manic wolf]

then make an empty txt file and name to either " the_gathering_storm.txt" or "blitzkrieg.txt"

[tardy adder]

can i do both

cause i want only mine as the only one

because when i do both blitzkrieg and the gathering storm it instantly opens up the country list and i cant back out of it

Guys does nay1 know the problem?? I copied the entire mod file of the mod magna europa,tried to make a new mod whit those files and I can only play it on nudger cause the majority of the states are broken

[torn zealot]

Hello, I thought of a mod idea that doesnt seem very difficult to add (I don't know a lot about modding but it seems simple)

This mod would be called something like "Extreme Training" which through a decision you can activate on or off.

The decision will allow you to train above the maximum, all the way to Veterans but at the cost of significantly higher attrition for the division.

This is meant to simulate a very extreme form of training, one that will lead to more death and loss of equipment but will allow you to create an army of extremely skilled soldiers

Would this be possible?

[obtuse condor]

Uhhh why dont i get the news events?

[worldly timber]

does anyone know what's the trigger for a specific event happening?

I'm making a music mod and I want a specific song to play after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is broken

so there should be something like
modifier = { factor = 5 OR = { got_event = news.153 got_event = news.154 } }

but what's the actual trigger that would work as got_event in this example?

[lofty plaza]

A global flag

Have a global flag assigned through that event and add having it as the modifier on the song

[obtuse condor]

nice errors

[obtuse condor]

ive been snooping around the game files, and it seems i can change what a major nation focuses on (ai_focus_naval_GER as example). anyone know how/what to change to make germany AI focus on a certain aspect?

you probably need a replace_path entry which magna europa almost certainly also uses to not load base game map files

[timber zenith]

Copy the replace_path lines from our descriptor file into both of yours

Sorry if this is the wrong channel but I was wondering if there is a mod that prevents lesser members of a faction from declaring war without asking the faction leader (or if not then at all). In my last game it all came crashing down while playing as Germany, fighting the Soviets with Poland and others, when Poland declared war on Britain... I would like to be able to Veto that as faction leader.

hey what are some fun hoi4 mods i could use

that keep the base game base game

[worldly timber]

I made a music mod, and a specific song should have a higher chance of playing when the player is justifying on someone

here's my code:
music = {
song = "Nachtmahr_Kriegserklaerung_MMCT"
chance = {
base = 0
modifier = { add = 5 is_justifying_wargoal_against = any_country }
}
}

but when I load my save where I'm justifying on Iran I can't get this song

does anyone know what's the problem?

[worldly timber]

and never play when the player isn't justifying, so base = 0

this song works:
music = {
song = "Nachtmahr_Krieg_MMCT"
chance = {
base = 0
modifier = { add = 3 has_war = yes }
}
}

so I suppose the problem is with triggering the modifier by justification

[steady stratus]

Can the .tga flag files have transparent parts in them or does that break the game??

[stoic forge]

yo is there a way to make the words in darkest hour easier to figure out

like i have no idea what any of the russian battalians mean

is there another mod that changes all of them back into english, they look cool but id rather understand what imdoing

[timber zenith]

I'm not the original creator, just one of the lead Devs

[lofty plaza]

I think so

[slender brook]

They can indeed, as per Nepal’s flag

Wait isn’t Nepal just white in the transparency?

[lofty plaza]

No I think it's just empty

[hazy vault]

I think they'll be OK with transparency, most focus icon's etc are transparent

[sleek temple]

Anyone?

[steady stratus]

Well focus icons aren't .tga files and they also have a different background

The reason that I'm asking is that I spent multiple hours trying to implement an absolute banger flag for the swedish-norweigan union

Which had like a jagged teeth design

And it didn't work

And I don't think I have ever seen a flag with transparent parts in hoi

[steady stratus]

And as you said nepals flag is just white instead of transparent

[lofty plaza]

That's .DDS not .tga

[timber zenith]

Someone already responded to u

[timber zenith]

they don't have to be dds

is there actually any advantage to using dds? I always use png

-20% cgs as Germany

[worldly timber]

yes

it's not difficult

there's also a website
music mod creation tool

I'm not sure if I can share links here but I think you can find it yourself

you just need to convert your music to .ogg files

upload them on the website

it'll make all the needed files

except the descriptor.mod which you get when you create the mod in the paradox launcher

then you need to change the names of the songs in the localisation file or they'll be just the same as the file names

and change the radio station icon in the gfx folder

it's in .dds format so you'd need an editing software that can work with that

in the music folder in the txt file you can change the chances for the songs to play, for example make some of them only play at war

also you need to make a thumbnail

it has to have 1:1 resolution ratio and not too big size, I don't remember exactly but if you keep it under 512kb it'll definitely work

it's for the steam workshop (and also shows up in the paradox launcher mod list)

if you want you can also make your song play in the main menu and loading screens by replacing the main theme

for that you just need to rename your song to hoi4mainthemeallies.ogg and place it in the music folder

[worldly timber]

thumbnail.png should be in the mod folder, same one as descriptor.mod

this tutor tells how to make everything manually tho

it's much easier and faster using the website

[frosty kite]

what website

[worldly timber]

music mod creation tool by utopia

I hope this doesn't count as advertisement or something

[pale sparrow]

Should be fine

[obtuse condor]

how do i get into modding

where do i begin

[neon totem]

modding

watch in youtube, I did it tho

[neon totem]

like this channel

[hazy vault]

Is using other mods to study and learn coding a bad thing? Like rummaging files and such, obviously not using any of the same stuff ofc

[worldly timber]

no

all programmers have looked at someone else's code to understand how to do something even if they don't admit it

[obtuse condor]

How do i fix this?

sofia has both a star and circle

bulgaria has a different capital

do i have to remove the old capital?

[frosty kite]

1.use notepad++ or sublime

2.idk

[obtuse condor]

cringe

[frosty kite]

ok first

tell me what tags are 974 and 48

[obtuse condor]

those are the capitals

48 sofia 974 lovech

[frosty kite]

hmm

have u set bookmark for 1500 and 1444 and 1900@obtuse condor

[obtuse condor]

i need a bookmark for 1444?

[frosty kite]

ye?

if are going to play a date u wre going to have bookmark in it

[frosty kite]

and u want capital to be lovech right ?

[obtuse condor]

yeah i want it to be the capital in 1444

and sofia 1500+

[frosty kite]

then add
1444.11.11 = {capital=974}

@obtuse condor did it work

[trim sun]

Change the parameters

[obtuse condor]

how would i do this?

if the state has 4000000 people it becomes a city 8mil metropolis 12mil megalopolis

[lime mural]

How can I make a faction that only southern hemisphere countries can join?

[pale sparrow]

There is diplo rules, but I think they cant be made that specific

AI modifiers to wanting the accept people I dont know

[lime mural]

Ok

[obtuse condor]

germany doesnt declare war on the soviets for some reason

in my games

even tho its historical

"if germany controlls millerovo give soviets a stalingrad idea"

weekly war casualties increased

[valid halo]

when there is a election in a country there is an event like "election" and it asks democracy communist or fascist how do i disable that

[pale sparrow]

disable the mod you have that does that

[valid halo]

no mod

i am modding

[pale sparrow]

then you must mean something else

you mean to disable automatic change of ruling party?

[valid halo]

no

i mean the event Democratic Parties in Minority

[pale sparrow]

Aha

[valid halo]

i just found it

i can change it now i found it

[pale sparrow]

In debug mode youd be able to see event ID, alternatively you can search the localization folder for the event title/description, same is true for all other items you might want to find

[valid halo]

ok

[daring current]

what file do I have to re-code to fix this?

[lofty plaza]

What on earth

[valid halo]

the event doesn't fire what is wrong with the code here

[lofty plaza]

It needs mean_time_to_happen

[valid halo]

ok

so what do i do if i want it to happen only once

[lofty plaza]

Just keep the fire_only_once = yes

[valid halo]

ok

[lime mural]

How can I make an effect that let's you gives you a war goal in any south american country that is not democratic?

[pale anvil]

how do I fix the duplicate tag error, I have a country that is the united states but a diffirent alternative one, but the old united states idelogy and stuff still exists and wont change?

[tribal laurel]

Bro

Any modders looking to join a team?

The mod is Total Mobilsation based on work done by Military Historians Askey and Dupuy. It has historical resources, economies and combat all done according to irl data.
Other features are in such as Ammunition, reserves, and automatic civilian growth. Currently got about 10k subs

[obtuse condor]

how do i make that country either agrees on giving claimed territories or refuses?

[frosty kite]

hey so i want to reduce the consumer goods % by half instead of reducing by a certain amount so how do i do that

[timber zenith]

use -0.5

iirc

[frosty kite]

that thing does

x % - 50 %

i want x% * 50 %

[timber zenith]

so you want half off?

or to add 50%?

[frosty kite]

half off

like if the consumer goods is 30% i want it to be 15%

and if 50% i want it to be 25%

[pale sparrow]

^ answered repost

[frosty kite]

can u help me with this lol

nevermind fixed it

[pale sparrow]

Nice toaster

[obtuse condor]

i want my event to be a little more advanced

how would i make mexico leave a faction if it is in one?

and have mexico peace out with everyone they were at war with?

and if mexico controlls belize they get that too? (if they are at war with uk)

[timber zenith]

if = {
  limit = {
    is_in_faction = yes 
  }
  leave_faction = yes 
}
every_country = {
  limit = {
    has_war_with = ROOT 
  }
  white_peace = ROOT
}
if = {
  limit = {
    controls_state =

  transfer_state =  
}```

[lofty plaza]

@frosty kite Make a variable then apply it to the idea

If ideas even accept variables, can't quite remember to be honest. If not use a dynamic modifier

I'm sure they do

[obtuse condor]

[14:29:12][pdx_localize.cpp:1084]: Expected colon(:) at line 6 and column 9 in localisation/english/event_mod_l_english.yml
[14:29:12][pdx_localize.cpp:1084]: Expected colon(:) at line 6 and column 9 in localisation/english/event_mod_l_english.yml

Whats wrong?

[valid halo]

what numbers do i put there so that it fires on the date of the trigger

[obtuse condor]

[14:51:17][pdx_localize.cpp:1075]: Invalid key name at line 6 and column 1 in localisation/english/event_mod_l_english.yml
[14:51:18][pdx_localize.cpp:1075]: Invalid key name at line 6 and column 1 in localisation/english/event_mod_l_english.yml

what does this mean?

[sleek temple]

still broken 😭

[vapid owl]

oh no

what songs have you put in there for a ww2 game

[lofty plaza]

Just how often you want it to check the triggers

You can put it every day, but that may negatively affect performance

[obtuse condor]

Is there a way for the units in a specific state to have more division defense?

[valid apex]

you could use the dynamic modifier

[obtuse condor]

sov_stalingrad= {
picture = russian_flag_paris

        allowed = {
            always = no
        }

        allowed_civil_war = {
            always = YES
        }
        removal_cost = -1
        
        modifier = {
        tag = GER
        attack_bonus_against = 0.2
        defense_bonus_against = 0.2

        }
    }

Is this valid?

[valid apex]

Yep

[obtuse condor]

so the soviets will get division attack/defense against germany?

[valid apex]

They should but if they dont i suggest remove modifier = { tag =Ger}

[obtuse condor]

i want that idea to have more casualties how would i do that?

weekly_war_casualties = 100?

[valid apex]

I dont think that a thing yet

Nor anyone want it

[obtuse condor]

dont kaiserreich and great war have that?

does the basegame not have that

[valid apex]

In the wiki they dont say anything about it

[obtuse condor]

where do i find that?

in the hoi4 wiki

[valid apex]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

[obtuse condor]

weekly_manpower = 1000

this is good enough

swap_ideas = {
remove_idea = old_idea
add_idea = new_idea
}

-20000 manpower every week

[obtuse condor]

What does this do?

combad casualties

[valid apex]

It add war support after each combat

Weekly

I think so

[obtuse condor]

Im not getting the event i made

country_event = {
id = colonialism.17
title = "Battle of Stalingrad"
desc = colonialism.17.d
picture = GFX_idi_amin_india
#is_triggered_only = yes

trigger = {
original_tag = SOV
245 = {
owner = {
original_tag= SOV
}
controller = {
original_tag= GER
}
}
OR = {
265 = {
owner = {
original_tag= SOV
}
controller = {
original_tag= GER
}
}
}
}

fire_only_once = yes

mean_time_to_happen = {
days = 7
modifier = {
factor = 1.0
}
}
option = { #
name = "Battle of Stalingrad"
ai_chance = { factor = 100 }
news_event = colonialism.18
GER = {
add_timed_idea = {
idea = ger_stalingrad
days = 365
}
}

    SOV = { 
            add_timed_idea = {
            idea = sov_stalingrad
            days = 365
        }
        }

[valid apex]

Idk but the idea should be smt like this
add_dynamic_modifier = {
modifier = dynamic_modifier_name
days = 30
If you use dynamic modifier

[obtuse condor]

im making an event

imo

can you use dynamic modifiers for events?

[valid apex]

Yep you can but i believe you have to add_dynamic_modifer not add_timed_idea

[obtuse condor]

i want it to be an idea

a timed one

[jolly mural]

Your OR is in the wrong place. Now both 245 and 265 has to be controlled by Germany, now it will effectively be an and

[obtuse condor]

Where do i put it instead?

trigger = {
original_tag = SOV
has_war_with = GER
245 = {
owner = {
original_tag= SOV
}
controller = {
original_tag= GER
}
}
OR = {
265 = {
owner = {
original_tag= SOV
}
controller = {
original_tag= GER
}
}
}
}

[jolly mural]

I assume you want to check for either 265 or 245, so the or should encapsulate both statements, not just 265

OR
{
245 {...}
265 {...}
}

[frosty kite]

@lofty plaza what is a variable , how do i do it and same question for dynamic modifier

[obtuse condor]

is there a tool for making custom states quickly without having to go into each file manually and edit it

[pale sparrow]

use the wiki

[stark glen]

im playing r56 with discardian rp

and focuses for germany

that demand land

such as demand sudetenland or slovenia

dont work

like i do them and nothing happens

but anchluss worked so it doesnt affect all focuses

im lost 💀

[lofty plaza]

Best look up a tutorial it's a bit complex to explain here

Bassicly you want to make a variable that calculates half of your current consumer goods then apply that variable in place of the value for the idea

[wide reef]

Any mods recommend?

[timber zenith]

Magna Europa: Reloaded

and 52 Chinese Localisation

2 best mods oat imo

[edgy solar]

if you want QoL I highly recommend PLPC

[pale sparrow]

🥺 Road to 56?

[obtuse condor]

trigger = {
original_tag = SOV
date > 1936.1.1
has_war_with = GER
OR = {
245 = {
owner = {
original_tag= SOV
}
controller = {
original_tag= GER
}
}
265 = {
owner = {
original_tag= SOV
}
controller = {
original_tag= GER
}
}
}
}

shouldnt this be and/or?

or does OR={ include and/or?

[jolly mural]

Or is either of statements needs to be correct, And means all statements needs to be correct

It entirely depends on what u wanna check for. If it's either 265 or 245 it's or, of both are required it's and

[jolly mural]

It's just like || and && in if statements in programming languages

[obtuse condor]

Great

[molten hound]

My friend told me about a mod that swaps Germany with Luxemburg

[obtuse condor]

Who made this

[pale sparrow]

That is in the screenshot

Tim Apple's Workshop

[timber zenith]

it literally says who made it on that page

[lofty plaza]

It's like it says or something

[obtuse condor]

is there a tool that helps you plan focus trees?

[pale sparrow]

Debug mode, pen and paper

[obtuse condor]

the vsc tool is decent imo

for planing focus trees

[lofty plaza]

The hell did you do

[obtuse condor]

did event germany.1

[pale sparrow]

Iraqi Anschluß

[jade mauve]

is there a way of adding something like a color filter to a custom map? so that you can change the green bits into another color?

[jolly mural]

pen&paper, draw.io, miro (what we use a lot), docs, nothing fancy needed really

[obtuse condor]

Ah sweet

i succeded in making the event

[molten osprey]

Hello guys, after some time, i decided to come back to my mod, and made some changes.
So now i want to update it on steam but for some reason it doesn't show up in the launcher after putting it in the mod folder. Am i missing something ?

[heady grove]

i dont know and i dont even know what it does but probably have a dark sense of humour

[steady stratus]

as the person actually developing this game said I also found miro to be a great help

[steady stratus]

is there any way to set the days_mission_timeout to a date instead of a number of days?

it doesn't have to be set to the date but rather some way to calculate the number of days betweem the current date and a second date and then set it to that

[jovial crystal]

im having trouble with making an idea show up
once the focus is completed the idea from the effect doesnt show up on the national spirit, but it clearly says it will "add [idea name] grants : [idea effects]" help
code of idea:
kinder_kirche_kuche = {
picture = DEU_kinder_kirche_kurche

  allowed = {
  tag = GER
  }

  modifier = {
  conscription = 0.02
  fascism_drift = 0.05
        }
    }

[tranquil idol]

Is anybody able to play Apres moi le Deluge? No matter what I do the loasing screen always crashes

[steady stratus]

not sure if I can help unless I see more of the code
