Hi, what is the trick for doing custom tank_manufacturer?
I added the following code:
tank_manufacturer = {

        designer = yes
        
        romfell = {

            
            allowed = {
                original_tag = KUK
            }
            
            research_bonus = {
                armor = 0.15
            }
            
            traits = { heavy_tank_manufacturer }

            ai_will_do = {
                factor = 5
            }

        }
    }

But I don't see it in the game. There is only the default one. Do I habe to activate the new designer?

ah, ok.... add:ideas oO

I am trying to make a campaign for north africa mod and I am trynna do and idk how to do a couple things that I just don't know how to do

firstly how do i make it so divs lose no equipment

secondly does anyone know how things like primo victoria make the only europe map

and also how do i choose where a div spawns for each country

also how would i make parts of the dessert not impassable like in horst to make a large africa

[edgy solar]

have you got much experience with modding?

If not i wouldnt recommend doing a full map mod

[slate magnet]

i have modded a bit

but nothing to this lvl

i am trying to make a north africa campaign

[edgy solar]

you can try but you will most likely run into lots of errors and face burnout

but for the map itself mapgen is the best i believe

[slate magnet]

ok

also do yk why this isn't working

none of the tech is researched

[ruby knot]

ive been for a walk

on a winters day

[edgy solar]

i cant see any problems with it so im not sure whats wrong

[slate magnet]

i have managed to make the actual country

[edgy solar]

maybe try seperating all the naval and air stuff from the regular tech

like the way the game does

[slate magnet]

i have like this

[edgy solar]

try something like this for the naval, air and tanks

if = {
limit = {
has_dlc = "Man the Guns"
}
set_technology = {
basic_naval_mines = 1
submarine_mine_laying = 1
early_ship_hull_light = 1

}

[slate magnet]

that worked perfectly

where would i find this code for the tanks and what not

[edgy solar]

in the history/countries file

i used germanys file so you could probably just use it as well

and make modifications here and there to suit your needs

[slate magnet]

yep

also sorry

one last thing

it works for all but the guns

[slate magnet]

thats the code

na

like

[edgy solar]

yeah ive got no clue what could be causing that not to work

the code is the same and seems good

[woeful bridge]

Which server?

[vagrant mist]

If I download some mods from the workshop can I take content from them and combine them.

[slender brook]

Legally? Absolutely yes with no repercussions
Morally? Ask permission first, especially if it’s a small mod. If it’s a large mod it’s a little less important to ask

[flint solar]

what do you guys think of brief History

[vagrant mist]

If it is alt-history it is good

#modding message

A month ago nobody seemed to know one way or the other, so I hope nobody minds me asking again like this.

[pale sparrow]

HOI IV doesnt have proper load order

even if you enable it in the launcher it doesnt seem to do anything

[potent temple]

It doesn't?

🤨

[pale sparrow]

The main issue is that big mods use replace_path entries, disabling the loading of those folders from all other sources, even when utilities load later they have files ignored

[potent temple]

Huh.

[pale sparrow]

basically even with load order disabled it doesnt really do much

[snow jasper]

hey fb

i have an issue with my millenium dawn optimization mod

it wont load in anything of the optimization

[timber zenith]

You might have to put millenium dawn as a dependency in your mods descriptor files

[snow jasper]

ah

alrigh

isint that just the replace files code or?

[timber zenith]

Iirc it's
dependencies = {"Millenium Dawn"}

Or whatever the full name is

[snow jasper]

alright

thanks

[timber zenith]

No worries

[timber zenith]

Biggest issue with that is that it's practically impossible

In a near infinite number of ways

Hi, anyone know how to assign flags to custom ideologies, cus when I do BUL_reactionism.tga or just BUL.tga it doesn't, but if it is BUL_neutrality.tga (starting base game ideology for Bulgaria) it shows

[timber zenith]

It would be easier to make it from scratch

[timber zenith]

Does Bulgaria start with a cosmetic tag that might override that?

[flint solar]

What does the cosmetic tag do, cus I've seen it in the code, but didn't know what it does

[snow jasper]

its like a tag

[flint solar]

So I dismissed it

[snow jasper]

but its custom

[timber zenith]

Cosmetic tag basically overrides a countries flag and name

[snow jasper]

ye

[flint solar]

Ok, if that's the issue, will BUL_reactionism.tga work

Cus that is starting ideology

[timber zenith]

If Bulgaria has a cosmetic tag applied at the start then probably

[flint solar]

Ok, when I come home I'll check

Thx

[timber zenith]

No problem

[snow jasper]

hey fbkong

you think you can help with a mod crashing

(my mod)

[timber zenith]

Sure

[snow jasper]

ill send the error log

[timber zenith]

Alright

[snow jasper]

crashes at events loading

dunnowhat the issue is

[timber zenith]

Did you make any changes before the crash?

[snow jasper]

nope

[timber zenith]

I think i found it

[snow jasper]

what is it?

[timber zenith]

Common/bookmarks/operation_barbarossa.txt

[snow jasper]

thats the main bookmark though

[timber zenith]

You may have used a ) instead of } at line 5

[snow jasper]

oh

lemme check

well

about line 5

its kinda

well here

had to send it like this

is it because of the description?

the (

[timber zenith]

You might want to put that into a localisation file instead of in the bookmark

[snow jasper]

yep just noticed

both is localized

[timber zenith]

Nice

[snow jasper]

now it crashes at initializing gam

what

[timber zenith]

Damn

[flint solar]

What language is HOI4 and the other paradox games written in?

[snow jasper]

modding moment

sov errors crashing game

lol

[timber zenith]

It's not actual code, it's just paradox language

[flint solar]

Ok

[timber zenith]

Seems abt right

[snow jasper]

its very simple when you know it

[snow jasper]

do i have to recode the whole system?

[timber zenith]

Wdym

[snow jasper]

because it starts in 1941

and

paranoia is

idk

[flint solar]

Very cool (and true) banner

[snow jasper]

balkan peacefull

trust

[timber zenith]

Lmao

[timber zenith]

🤷

I might be able to help u when I get up in the morning

[snow jasper]

alright

[flint solar]

Are you guys working on the same mod

[snow jasper]

no

he works for Magma

magna*

[flint solar]

Magna?

What's it about

[timber zenith]

Magna Europa: Reloaded

Basically big Europe map

[flint solar]

Does it have reworked focuses

[timber zenith]

Nah vanilla stuff for now

[flint solar]

Sad

[timber zenith]

Yep lol

We are currently adding custom focuses tho but it's a slow process

Still worth checking out nonetheless

But maybe I'm a bit biased lmao

[flint solar]

Hmm

Maybe

And what do you think of bulgaria's borders

[timber zenith]

Very nice

[snow jasper]

hoi4 need to make it so that you can choose full states or like singular parts of it

[flint solar]

North dobrudja took two hours to make

[timber zenith]

States are pretty much hard-coded as they are, we'd have to wait for hoi5

[snow jasper]

oof

[flint solar]

@timber zenith worked, thanks

[flint solar]

which part says how far it goes up

cus animation time only changes how long it goes for

[slate magnet]

anyone know why this doesn't work

[obtuse condor]

america should have more big vps imo

how would i increate the state category of a state?

limit = { 797 state_population > 1000000 }

set_statecategory town

limit = { 797 state_population > 2000000 }
set_statecategory city

limit = { 797 state_population > 3000000 }
set_statecategory metropolis

limit = { 797 state_population > 4000000 }
set_statecategory megalopolis

?

[flint solar]

it's set_state_category

and wouldn't it be set_state_category = megalopolis

[obtuse condor]

sweet

[flint solar]

So it worked?

[obtuse condor]

yeah it worked

what you said

[flint solar]

Ok

[obtuse condor]

How do i make so that this focus is available if italy and germany arent fascist

and russia isnt communists?

[sacred rapids]

available = {
has_government = fascism
tag = GER

if ger is fascism than focus is available

[obtuse condor]

i want the focus to be available when they arent fascist

or communist

[sacred rapids]

you can at NOT

focus_tree {
id = mijn_focus_tree_id

focus_tree {
    id = mijn_fascistische_focus_tree

    focus {
        id = mijn_focus_zonder_fascisme

        completion_reward = {
            add_political_power = 150
        }
    }
}

}

same with communism

[sacred rapids]

is for a mod?

you can run the game and change your mod focus

[obtuse condor]

I figured it out

[sacred rapids]

or use a app like visual code

[obtuse condor]

i use VSC

[sacred rapids]

i also

can you see decison in displau of the game?

display?

[obtuse condor]

Debug?

[sacred rapids]

no in app

right side

what you can with focus

[obtuse condor]

whats the modifier for division speed?

wargoal_justification_time 0.1

How do i make war goals slower?

Is this national spirit too overpowered?

is it balanced?

[timber zenith]

that's really underpowered imo

depends on what it takes to get it tho

[obtuse condor]

every european country gets it

through a focus when theres no fascist major powers in europe

[timber zenith]

interesting

"All factory output quantity x4"

I think maybe should use the "define" command..?

Another way is to control the amount of resources needed to produce a gun, but I couldn't find that file either.😂

I usually throw the file that throws the error and the vanilla version into the diffchecker website, then copy over anything that throws errors, but I dont see the file in question or a related one among those

[gilded lava]

but when i disable mod, the error also wipes out

[proven hatch]

States are still broken..

[stuck quarry]

Anyone here have experience with balance of power modding? I wana add it to a country in my mod but im not sure how to do it properly to make it a good gameplay element instead of a annoying thing to deal with in the country

Not looking for how to do it, just more of pointers or tips for making it good

[flint solar]

have you assigned everything to them?

why don't you watch an iron workshop tutorial on how to create states

[neat linden]

does someone has a mod for sahara being like this

[ruby knot]

Mod me some girls

[proven hatch]

i know how to make states, i've done everything i can do within my ability, i cannot think of anything else

[pliant olive]

Thanks brother

[pliant olive]

Thanks to you too

[tidal aspen]

ill mod u some female human beings

[proven hatch]

Nudge tool doesn't work at all with the map right now either.

[flint solar]

Well, search on the net, there's bound to have been at least one person who's encountered it, or if that doesn't work, go through the code of a mod with a custom map

[timber zenith]

override the vanilla states folder

with replace_path="history/states"

in both your descriptor files

[pale sparrow]

He sais he does that

@proven hatch check Documents folder for nudger folders that may take priority over the mod

[valid halo]

anyone wanna help me make a mod it is called britain divided its about if the uk never unified and scotland didnt vote for the act of union

i have a module category no_turret_type and i want that whenever the player selects it, no module can be put in gun_slot, is there a way to achieve it?

`module_slots = {
main_armament_slot = {
required = no
allowed_module_categories = {
tank_light_armament
}
}

        turret_type_slot = {
            required = no
            allowed_module_categories = {
                tank_no_turret_type
                tank_light_turret_type
            }
        }`

for reference

[proven hatch]

I’ll look, It’s very jankily working, where I make a new state, then add the states to the mod, and it sometimes deletes the old ones, sometimes leaves them be

[proven hatch]

Nope. Nothing

[worldly yarrow]

Hello, so when i try to play endseig mod from steam workshop, my game just keeps crashing, i dont know why, i even changed it to the previous versions. It might be that i am playing with more recent DLC packs, tbh idk. If anyone can help thank you

[pale sparrow]

I believe its in unitstacks, nudger makes it easy to move the VP or center it on the tile

[lofty plaza]

Nudge > Units > Scroll down to victory points

Hold right click to move within province

Does anybody know a mod that adds the "give state" to puppets in a peacdeal that isnt a core state of the puppet

Hey there. I've been trying to reverse engineer the game's code to understand how the custom modifiers work...
For example, the Bulgarian Army restrictions one
But all I managed to find is the localisation file
Anyone know how this works?

[green sentinel]

wales should still be part of England if that's the POD

since the welsh principalities were conquered by England in the 13th century

[valid halo]

oh yeah

[round ermine]

hi! i make most of the icon art for The Great War Redux, and im the lead of Project Valachord... So I make almost everything there 💗

[velvet spear]

Wow that's great

How do you do it?

[round ermine]

i have a guide for how i make my stuff, but its basically like:
four layers on top of the "asset" or source
first layer: white lines for edges
second layer: black lines for details
third layer: highlights to add the shiny effect
four layer: shadows to obivously add depth

[velvet spear]

So cool

Got the link?

Of the guide I mean

trying to make vanilla ?

[obtuse condor]

ig

I don't focus on "vanilla" TNO" etc, I just make whatever looks good (mostly because I don't know the difference yet)

but yeah, I suppose its closest to vanilla

[velvet spear]

thanks!

[round ermine]

i only ask if its vanilla bc the colors are super washed out like tno colorizing

[obtuse condor]

whats this?

[velvet spear]

So

Anyone know how custom modifiers work?

[obtuse condor]

opinion modifiers?

[velvet spear]

Nope custom

Like the "Army restrictions" one

From bulgaria

[obtuse condor]

ideas?

[velvet spear]

Well, the army restriction idea has this...custom modifier that doesn't allow you to build planes nor tanks

[obtuse condor]

idk how to do that specifically

[velvet spear]

Well, thanks anyway

[obtuse condor]

if someone is making a mod, I'd be open to making some portraits for them

free of charge

(im bored and out of ideas)

heu

discord Millenium dawn i will tamper with the mode on my server, is there a bot for it

?

[vapid owl]

???

[obtuse condor]

?

[vapid owl]

I’m confused by what you said

[bronze otter]

if you want to mod you have to do it yourself

[obtuse condor]

it disxord

[lofty plaza]

No clue what that means

[coarse geyser]

@floral viper

[velvet spear]

Sounds great. Im actually working on a mod

It's still quite early

So I will be happy to have some help

[summer trout]

are their any mods that move the focus tree up so you don’t have to wait till 1945 for modern tanks cause at that point the games over and I can’t have fun with them or my super heavies 😭

[main haven]

just build mediums, its like modern but earlier version

[summer trout]

they aren’t as cool me want boom boom huge heavy tanks

[main haven]

then use heavy tanks?

idk how can I help you, Idk any mod that gives modern tanks

just use console command to get modern tank

[opaque cloud]

I suppose IDEAS for mods would be better suited here but what about a simple alt history scenerio where western rome.. never fell and retained control of italia itself, but it's implied italy still fragmented into little latin speaking kingdoms and what not until reunification?.. having reunified around the same time germany did?

I feel THIS version of "italy" shouldn't be a slouch/pushover either.. giving a player the ability to rebuild the old roman empire with a army that isn't dogshite

... or would a alt history mod with a surviving Eastern Rome/Byzantium make more sense?

[obtuse condor]

alr dm me

[obtuse condor]

yeah or one could try to remake ancient rome

you\d play as the emperor, constantly trying to supress unrest and uprisings

while trying to expand the empire

[solemn vortex]

This just screams thermonuclear war.

[pale sparrow]

No nazi symbols in the screenshots please

[main haven]

I turned off mad

Nukes can't stop me

[solemn vortex]

So they can still drop nukes but this won't end the world?

[main haven]

No, the ai won't drop nukes ever

[nimble solar]

They do drop nukes, never tactically though. They just bomb cities

[main haven]

No, I mean drop nukes as in trigger the thermonuclear war

[nimble solar]

I missed something but ok

Hi guys. I have a country_event and it should fire another news_event within the hidden_effect:
immediate = {
hidden_effect = {
news_event = news.1
}
}
But I want to fire it only for other countries. I don't get it. I tried NOT = { tag = KUK } but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

[obtuse condor]

it didnt originate form the nazis its a hindu symbol just use the term "Hate Symbols"

[pale sparrow]

Try original_tag = FROM?

In the news event

[gilded lava]

how to spawn temporar divisions only for civil war? like in germany game does

[sacred rapids]

kuk is the land tag ? try tag = ROOT?

trigger = {
tag = ROOT
NOT = { tag = KUK }
} only kuk get no event

[sacred rapids]

how can i change the venster?

[lofty plaza]

create_unit or load_oob

And just have the template locked and deleted after the civil wars conclusion somehow

[obtuse condor]

I'm recruiting developers
It's about "what if Habsburg Austria survives untill the Cold War?" If you interested please dm me

im making my first mod.

its goingto be a netherlands focus tree.

like just a basic tree

[spark flax]

Eyo. My focus isn't showing up when I attempt to make it workon the netherlands

[opaque cloud]

It would be cool if you could actually make friends out of irl enemies by promising them what they.. actually want.

Say, you as Rome offer annexation in Greece in return for helping the Greek people seek revenge for manzikurt and 1453..

Etc

Attack the turk

This also would give Stalin another front to worry about which… may (although unlikely), change the outcome of the eastern campaign

Tbh, I wonder why Mussolini didn’t consider Greece as a potential ally irl, they have really firm historical ties and Greece still wanted revenge against the Turks

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the file?

[timber zenith]

Is there a difference between set_oob and load_oob?

[obtuse condor]

I want to promote my mod. Is there a server that I can promote?

Lack of common branches shared between mutually exclusives

its a early version but yea could add those

but overall the exclusive parts rn are meant to be totally seperate paths to take

How can I run scripted effect in hoi4?

where?

I can't find it

[lofty plaza]

Set is for the history file

Loading is loading one mid-game

[timber zenith]

What about just oob instead of set_oob?

that's what i was trying to say lol

[timber zenith]

Scripted effects are defined in the folder scripted_effects

Whatever you named your scripted effect in that file, for example run_effect = {}

You would put run_effect = yes as an effect anywhere applicable

[lofty plaza]

Nothing

[timber zenith]

alr thanks

An alt history mod

[whole mango]

i made a 1942 starting date/bookmark and i wanted to remove the 1939 bookmark and 1936 bookmark how to do it

dont joke of me i am new to moddin

[obtuse condor]

how can i remove the loading screens of the game itself it blends in with the loading screens i put in my mod

[whole mango]

i want to know that too

[obtuse condor]

it's so frustrating

[valid apex]

The wiki says add replace_path = "gfx/loadingscreens" in Descriptor

[obtuse condor]

my own loading screens are already attached, but the game's own loading screens appear in between

[valid apex]

But did you put replace_path in descriptor (the video thing)

[potent zodiac]

    start_civil_war = {
        ideology = fascism
        size = 0.1
        army_ratio = 0.5
        navy_ratio = 0
        air_ratio = 1
        keep_unit_leaders_trigger = {
            has_trait = my_trait_name
        }
        keep_all_characters = yes
        PREV = {  # Original country
            INS_soedirman = { # Character
                set_nationality = PREV.PREV
            }
            INS_abdul_harris_nasution = {
                set_nationality = PREV.PREV
            }
            INS_achmad_yani = {
                set_nationality = PREV.PREV
            }
            INS_suharto = {
                set_nationality = PREV.PREV
            }
            INS_sungkono = {
                set_nationality = PREV.PREV
            }
            INS_yos_sudarso = {
                set_nationality = PREV.PREV
            }
        }
        promote_character = INS_soedirman
        promote_character = INS_abdul_harris_nasution
        promote_character = INS_achmad_yani
        promote_character = INS_suharto
        promote_character = INS_sungkono
        promote_character = INS_yos_sudarso
    }
}```
So, I made this effect mod before but after I execute it, the leader of the rebel is generic asia leader and not as the fascism leader of the INS country tag. Like the leader of fascism ruling party is Sukarno but it generate generic asia leader like random name and random picture. I want the leader is not the generic asia leader but the real one that attached in the game. Btw I use RT 56 mod.

I'm probably weird, but: Vanilla HOI4 seems to not really represent the 1934 Tydings-McDuffie Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tydings–McDuffie_Act ) and the situation of the Phillippines in how things worked (for instance, MacArthur was actually a field marshal in the Phillippine Army, and on the retired list in the US Army - he reported to Quezon, not FDR) - admittedly, it's a pretty unique situation, but are there any mods that do implement it?

[lofty plaza]

Commonwealth of the Philippines

[potent temple]

is that a mod or....

[ashen osprey]

does someone have a good idea for a simple mod? (not a big mod)

Oh.

[wheat yoke]

Hello guys

[timber zenith]

Hello

[wheat yoke]

I'm currently in a team working on a alternate Cold War era mod

The mod takes place in the 60's and tells the story of an alternate Cold War scenario where the US fell into chaos after the assassination of President Kennedy. The US finds itself in a situation of a bloody civil war while the Free World lost its most important and powerful defender. The Soviet Union tries to take advantage of the new situation and seeks to expand its influence once more. The nations of Western Europa will now decide the fate of the Free World.

We are looking for coders, 3D modellers and artists

If you do have any question or would like to join don't hesitate to ping me or DM me

[flat stag]

Does anyone here want to make a Puerto Rico focus tree?

[lofty plaza]

That's the result of what you sent

[potent temple]

Yes it is.

[lofty plaza]

So why you ask me if it's a mod?

[potent temple]

Because that was my original question; I am looking for a mod that better represents how the situation actually worked (such as MacArthur not being a US General in 1936 (he was recalled to active duty in 1941 before December 7th, iirc), the US deciding the size and composition of the Philippine Commonwealth military forces, etc)

[lofty plaza]

Closest you're getting is road to 56

[potent temple]

Ah. Gah, was hoping for a mod that only handled the Philippines.

[limber torrent]

Best optimization mod?

[limber torrent]

Can i be notified when it releases

[wheat yoke]

ofc

[limber torrent]

Rt56 has mcarthur as a Philippines fm?

[wheat yoke]

if you wish, i can invite you to our mod server

we have already released some teasers

[limber torrent]

Yes pls

[wheat yoke]

I've sent you the link via DM

[lofty plaza]

It coverers the basics

I recognised that because I recently made it so they were actually a protectorate instead of a puppet

[potent temple]

nods I would use it, but I don't really want to try learning a mod as huge as that when I'm still relearning vanilla, really.

[lofty plaza]

It's a vanilla mod

[potent temple]

...I was always given to understand it as a big huge total overhaul.

[barren knot]

Hello. I want to make fashion so that it is impossible to study technology if there is a penalty for being ahead of the curve. That is, if we have the technology of 1937, and now it is 36, then it cannot be taught, and if there is a bonus for an annual advance, then it is possible, but no other, for example, a 100% bonus. I want to ask if this is possible, and if so, how?

[sacred rapids]

How do you make a map (mod) scenario where Germany or another country occupy states?

is there a way when hoi is running in debug mode to see what graphics the pointer is on?

for example, I want to learn what texture to edit for something? or is it just experimentation? maybe the graphics are documented somewhere?

[valid apex]

Open console command and type "gui"

[worldly kernel]

it didnt work. now my other 2 characters arent showing up. here is my code ss

No mate dont add my character just GER_urahara

amazing!!! found just what I was looking for!!! ty

their back but still can only hire 1. im sorry if im not understanding this correctly

is it because i have all three as slot = political_advisor?

[valid apex]

how about replace tag with original_tag

[worldly kernel]

trying now

[worldly kernel]

nope

[valid apex]

can you sent me the whole code

like the advior file

[worldly kernel]

sending but taking a bit

[gray kayak]

sorry for the noob questions - I promise to add to the wiki - do you know if I change a dds file do I have to restart hoi even if in debug mode?

[worldly kernel]

this? or the entire file? tried sending file but discord wouldnt send

im big noob to computers so sorry in advance also

[valid apex]

This is enough

[valid apex]

you miss bracket at the end of each advior

[gray kayak]

@valid apex that tip was awesome thanks - I was able to get rid of the bevel that makes the unit planning/entrenchment UX worse - check out how much easier it is to tell if a unit is fully planned/entrenched with the unit vs nearly

seems to be iron man compatible so I am going to put this into a mod

[valid apex]

nice work

[gray kayak]

ty - is there a way to reload the graphics that you know of or is it just a game restart every time?

[valid apex]

hmm let me check i remeber there a reload mod console command

[gray kayak]

oh I will check then

[valid apex]

the black one is the code

[worldly kernel]

🤦🏻‍♂️ such a simple fix. Thank you so much! I tried so hard to figure this out on my own. Again thank you so much friend 💙

[gray kayak]

oh I'm super pleased with how this turned out

that top division is fully planned but not quite fuly entrenched and it pops now

before the bevel made the last little bit really hard to see

ty @valid apex !!

[valid apex]

I suggest using notpad +++ or Visual Studio code with hoi4 plug in

Will do

Nah, its all based on date blocks in the history files, and the condition has_start_date can be used in other places

[abstract burrow]

What is the point of two colours?

[pale sparrow]

2D applies to stuff like units

[abstract burrow]

Its my first time so im slow

but do you mean the colour of the unit jacket etc?

[pale sparrow]

No the blocks on the map

[abstract burrow]

gotcha

@pale sparrow I'm going to show you what I think you mean, so i dont mess up lol

@pale sparrow are these the 2d colours?

[pale sparrow]

Yeh

I forgot when they apply

[abstract burrow]

i see

and the first one is the colour of the country?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[abstract burrow]

so, 106 119 89 is country

76 97 121 is unit

[pale sparrow]

yeh

[abstract burrow]

can it be set as the same colour?

im guessing yes

so ill work on the code

[pale sparrow]

Yeh but it usually looks nice to have contrast

[abstract burrow]

gotcha

thank you so much

i am watching and reading endless stuff, but somethings dont make sense lol

@pale sparrow do u have an answer to #modding message ?

[pale sparrow]

if you mean a negative value, I think so

but negative values often lead to weird tooltips

[severe knoll]

It doesnt have a tooltip...
Its just the effect add_ai_strategy inside of the coup operation code of the civil war. I did this so the resulting country is more willing to join the country Dat did the operation.
However, I wanna balance it properly, so I need to know if the positive value would make the modifier "prefer X faction" never appear, or if it still can appear

(never appear for the country Dat did the operation)

[pale sparrow]

should still appear

[severe knoll]

So even with the value Dat I put (300 or 500), there's a chance of the revolting country resulting from the coup operation having a preference in another faction? OK thx

[abstract burrow]

@pale sparrow what file is this in?

i know its in localisation but thats it

[pale sparrow]

IIRC its called countries or something

[severe knoll]

Countries_l_english I supose

[abstract burrow]

thank you

[severe knoll]

If ure modifying the localisation or creating new localisation, I don't recommend editing vanilla loc files. There's other methods to change it without using the vanilla file

[abstract burrow]

Oh no, i was reading a tutorial and it said i have to make something like that for my own country, but i didn't know what to call the file

[severe knoll]

U can't call it the vanilla name or it will replace the vanilla file

U can just add a random prefix like mod_

[abstract burrow]

but if its in a mod file it wont

my country tag is SOC which hasn't been used in base game

[severe knoll]

Wat do u mean mod file? Are u puting ur files in the vanilla directory?

[abstract burrow]

no lol

[severe knoll]

So ure giving ur new countries names?

[abstract burrow]

yes

[severe knoll]

Then u don't need the vanilla file

A mod file Works, idk how u got Dat info

[abstract burrow]

o needed a countries_l_english

[severe knoll]

Nop

Can be any name

As long as it has the l_english

[abstract burrow]

ill just call it that to be simpler

[severe knoll]

Call it Countries_l_english?

[abstract burrow]

i did

[severe knoll]

Again, u cant

[abstract burrow]

the fudge

[severe knoll]

Ure replacing the vanilla one

[abstract burrow]

if i add a double c at the start

Waittt, i want to replace the vanilla one @severe knoll

I'm changing the world to have new countries in every continent

new focuses

[severe knoll]

Did u rework literally every country?

[abstract burrow]

im going to

[severe knoll]

OK then u can replace the vanilla one

[abstract burrow]

its my first day on the job

if that makes sense

why im so braindead

[severe knoll]

First mod? Or first day of this specific mod.

[abstract burrow]

first mod.

lol

im not trolling, i am generally confused

[severe knoll]

Ah ok
Well just keep that in mind. Don't use files with vanilla names cuz it will replace the vanilla one. Only use it if ure reworking everything inside Dat file, or there's no way to use another file (like with the colors.txt file inside common/countries)

[abstract burrow]

yep

 ENG_neutrality_subject:0 "$OVERLORDADJ$ Britain"
 ENG_neutrality_subject_DEF:0 "$OVERLORDADJ$ Britain"
 ENG_fascism_subject:0 "$OVERLORDADJ$ Protectorate of Britain"
 ENG_fascism_subject_DEF:0 "the $OVERLORDADJ$ Protectorate of Britain"
 ENG_communism_subject:0 "Socialist Republic of Great Britain"
 ENG_communism_subject_DEF:0 "the Socialist Republic of Great Britain"
 ENG_SOV_communism_subject:0 "British Soviet Socialist Republic"
 ENG_SOV_communism_subject_DEF:0 "the British Soviet Socialist Republic"```
@severe knoll is this code if you get puppeted

[severe knoll]

Dats the name of the puppets. I think those are used to define names of puppets lol.

[abstract burrow]

gotcha

[severe knoll]

Wats the name of the file Dat has that?

[abstract burrow]

countries_l_english

[severe knoll]

Ah, interesting. I never edited those. I think they define specific puppets names

Or maybe they are cosmetic tags

[abstract burrow]

I think for the code above it means if “Sov puppets ENG, ENG will be called British Soviet Republic”

[severe knoll]

Yes ik

But idk if those are like hard-coded and happen automatically

Or pdx uses cosmetic Tags to assign it to ENG when SOV puppets them

[abstract burrow]

I see

Ur really smart

[severe knoll]

Eh, I mod for a long time (compared with the time I have hoi4)

I have more mod hours than play hours 💀 💀

[abstract burrow]

I only have 300 play hours

So I’m not even good at the game lol

[severe knoll]

I have like 400h of play and like 1000h of modding

[abstract burrow]

Holy smokes

@severe knoll if i do my code now, could i send it here and you rveview it?

[severe knoll]

Im not active in hoi4 server. I'm more active in hoi4 modding den. But if u send to my dms, maybe

[abstract burrow]

whats hoi4 modding den?

[severe knoll]

A server dedicated to hoi4 modding

[abstract burrow]

also i did the code @severe knoll

is it any good?

[severe knoll]

Bru dats just names. Of course it is good lol
U just need to follow the vanilla naming structure lol.

[abstract burrow]

i didnt know

i thought i had to add some stupid ass stuff to it

sorry for being dumb

[severe knoll]

Nah, it's localisation, it's just naming stuff

[abstract burrow]

sweet

that means im fine

also have you got the hoi4 modding extention on Visual Studio Code?

[severe knoll]

I use notepad++ 💀

[abstract burrow]

oh lol

many people use it

i just like vsc

[abstract burrow]

@severe knoll Where do you put recruit characters

how do you get them

[pale sparrow]

Read the wiki

[abstract burrow]

theres a wiki?

ive just been on reddit this whole time

[pale sparrow]

💀

[abstract burrow]

it is working

a bit

[pale sparrow]

@lusty smelt maybe add wiki to the resource pin?

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Category:Modding

[abstract burrow]

thank you

[obtuse condor]

does this seem like a fun political branch for the hungarian focus?

[abstract burrow]

yup

maybe add some event ones with lore

[timber zenith]

TNO and its consequences

[obtuse condor]

its a branch of a austro-hungarian focus im making in the basegame

not making it for an althistory mod

should i make a lore essay for the hypothetical austrian west sahara?

[abstract burrow]

maybe

[neon totem]

Helpp (lazy to type it again cuz gtg)

[neon totem]

Soviet Hungary?

[whole mango]

I am done with modding , i worked on it for 4 weeks and still cant do it correctly

[obtuse condor]

so does anyone know of a communist mod for germany? i have all dlc and theres like no communist focuses for germany

how fix

[obtuse condor]

the communist hungarian focus is pretty boring true

[coarse bloom]

how would i make a focus give country A the pre-1936 tank design of country B?

[coarse bloom]

for example
upon completing the focus,
country A should gain the inter-war tank design of country B added
maybe their own variant, but for now this'll do

[abstract burrow]

What do you need to fix?

Once you select you exit it

And make sure you have air superiority

[obtuse condor]

know any good modern day mods that ACTUALLY WORK

millenium dawn doesnt

[wanton veldt]

What was the file that is used to show countries in the quick selection bar upon creating a new save?

[wanton veldt]

Is there a way to modify the bookmark file without disabling Iron Man mode?

[obtuse condor]

0 divisions assigned, the ones im assigning are paratroopers and i have 100% air superiority

200 transport planes

i already launched one using the same unit template

[pale sparrow]

Maybe show files

[pale sparrow]

common/bookmarks

[wanton veldt]

Thanks!

[pale sparrow]

There used to be an exploit where you could by renaming your txt files to .bat or something, but Im pretty sure they patched that

[wanton veldt]

aw

Is there any other way?

[pale sparrow]

No

[wanton veldt]

the selection menu looks so messy with all the chinese warlords

oh alright

[pale sparrow]

It should, you can try Novum Vex

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56

[pale sparrow]

Map modding is the worst thing you could start with

[obtuse condor]

How laggy is it

[lone pelican]

whenever i make an event it say this

ive been trying to make it work for an hour already

did everything frame by frame as in the tutorial

worked for him

[naive mantle]

show us the code for the event

[lone pelican]

it has goofy names because its literally copied from the tutorial

[lofty inlet]

its not supposed to do that

[stuck quarry]

is there a way to live update my changes to a gui file?

[obtuse condor]

crazy

but awesome

[stuck quarry]

I cant tell if its a joke or not but either way its hilarious

Oops sorry for the ping

[lofty inlet]

it is not

i spent like a good few weeks on this mod

😭

truly what happens when you miss one }

[stuck quarry]

Lol do you have the plugin for vscode? (If youre ysing vscode that is) it shoudl tell you of any errors lol

[potent zodiac]

Why is the mod that I create didn't show up in The road to 56 mod?
But it is show when I play vanilla hoi4 with my mod enabled.

[stuck quarry]

Depends what your mod edits, if your mod edits something road to 56 has “replace_path =“ for it wont load

[abstract burrow]

Have you use the assign feature?

[sonic jasper]

How can i turn on developer mode

[obtuse condor]

i dont know what that is

[vocal sage]

@neon totem mod keep crashing when select country and click select country

@obtuse condor

sorry for ping

i guess

[neon totem]

no error text tho

[round bluff]

You can check a decision doing this, like in Lithuania when getting British planes.

Basically you have to set the tank design and give it to the ROOT (The one completing the focus) nation, you can put the name you want to it and change the slots and equipment. But for that you need those parts unlocked in tech tree I believe?

[abstract burrow]

I made a focus, but it won't show up in the focus tree, does anyone know a fix?

[round bluff]

that will depend on the error, check the error log

[abstract burrow]

Thanks!" I found the error

[round bluff]

What was it?

[abstract burrow]

my whole country wasn't working due to some errors with characters, my focus was to change the leader to a character, but the character wasn't found

[round bluff]

Ahh! Good ol’ modding

[abstract burrow]

must have mis spelt

[gritty cave]

ive been modding for only 3 days now and ive already felt like my soul has left my body

[abstract burrow]

this is my second day

only one country is working right now

[gritty cave]

im just designing a (rather ambitious) focus tree

ive got a map and custom states for europe done tho :D

[abstract burrow]

can we see?

[gritty cave]

sure!!

where do i put the image tho

im scared to break rules by accident

illl just leave this here and hope i dont get banned

dont ask about the lore its.... weird and super unrealistic but im doing this for fun

[upbeat falcon]

ill ask

whats the senerio

[round bluff]

I have a question, I made an economy mod, and I was wondering;

What would you like to see in a economy mod regarding RolePlaying? Sanctions? I have no idea as I usually don't RP, but I would appreciate some tips on what to add in it!

Cause I would do a tailored MP RP modpack for it with other stuff like public anouncements and so on maybe

[abstract burrow]

thats really good

[abstract burrow]

allow to spend money/political power to buy land off of nations

[round bluff]

Maybe a combination of send money and state transfer?

[gritty cave]

1848 revolution leads to germany uniting under prussia. 1849 revolution against Prussia leading to big radical republican germany. Also leads to hungarian independence, austrian retreat into illyria, europe is split between radicalism and reactionaryism

[round bluff]

Haspburg will be nice to play!

[gritty cave]

france reinsitutes its monarchy under Henri V, italian war for independence leads to italy being united under a republican naples, sardinia piedmont remains independent supported by france

[gritty cave]

yeah! i have plans for their whole thing to revolve around either reclaiming their old lands or conquering the balkans
