modding

[round bluff]

Nice

[spring trout]

What mod is this

[gritty cave]

i mean granted the bulgarians are in the radical faction, and serbia & montenegro are aligned to the monarchists so maybe

[gritty cave]

little thing im working on when im not studying

[spring trout]

O

[abstract burrow]

btw anyone know how to change the background?

[round bluff]

It would be probs in the .gfx file linked to the initial screen

[abstract burrow]

thank you

theres so many files lol

[round bluff]

Just change that gfx code pertaining to this, snd u can change the backgrot

[abstract burrow]

gotcha

ty

[round bluff]

Use visual studio code with HoI plugin and with finde files u should be able to find that

[abstract burrow]

I use vsc

asnd use the plugin

@round bluff what files do focus tree icons need to be

is it dds?

[round bluff]

probably I could check, but in Wiki Modding probs says it

I haven't done focus trees in years

[abstract burrow]

nor have i

[round bluff]

yes wiki says dds

[abstract burrow]

hmm

[round bluff]

almost all is dds

[abstract burrow]

odd

ill have to restart my game then

[round bluff]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/National_focus_modding#Icon

ah yeah icons and graphic stuff

I believe u must restart game

if all was correct

[abstract burrow]

is the "GFX_" as locator to the gfx folder?

[round bluff]

always add GFX_name_of_pic

and the spirit name will be

[abstract burrow]

i did, but it won't work

[round bluff]

GFX_name_of_pic

[abstract burrow]

im gonna check some stuff in vsc

[round bluff]

but the file itsel'f is "name_of_pic" without GFX_

[abstract burrow]

forgot to add some code

[round bluff]

ahh

[abstract burrow]

prob fixed now

the flip

it dont work

oh for god sake

i cant type today

[gritty cave]

another misspell?

[abstract burrow]

this time i missed out a word

i thought i named the file "founding_father"

turns out i put "focus_founding_father"

[gritty cave]

dang

[abstract burrow]

yup

the flip?
it dont work again

[gritty cave]

dang

maybe check the logs

[abstract burrow]

nothing references to my error

I PUT THE WRONG IMAGE IN THE WRONG FOLDE

[round bluff]

Not the best day to mod xD

[abstract burrow]

i aint even a bad dev

[gritty cave]

RIPP

[abstract burrow]

im just braindead

[round bluff]

Happens to me too xD

[abstract burrow]

glad we can relate

[round bluff]

I just click off modding and can’t do anything right

[coarse bloom]

It’s just an interwar tank.
So the idea was to complete a focus to buy tank designs from the USA (it’s a minor country next to the US)
And have the focus grant the interwar tank research
I settled for making a tank that looked like the m1917 but modified

[abstract burrow]

hmm

[round bluff]

When 30 min before I coded smth hard

[abstract burrow]

i deleted the file

by accident

[gritty cave]

ctrl + z

undo

[coarse bloom]

How I’m gonna implement stuff with NSB I have no clue

[round bluff]

All works if done well!

[abstract burrow]

recyle bin

[round bluff]

Ypu’ll have to do the designs manually by code

Try copying one and adapting it

[gritty cave]

thats how i do focuses haha

[coarse bloom]

Do you have a video or a documentation on it?
Something with a list of the modules and hulls would be good

Idk where to find them without ripping apart 30 different designs for their modules

[round bluff]

No, but ai can tell u where to find it

If u gimme 5 min to finish coffe

[coarse bloom]

Fair enough I’ve been using chatGPT on most of the coding

[abstract burrow]

chat gpt does hoi4 coding?

[round bluff]

Ah and it work? I’ve only seen peoplw fail in that

[coarse bloom]

It works well but it’s outdated a bit so you gotta correct it sometimes

[round bluff]

But for translating localisation is perfect

[coarse bloom]

It still uses coding from before NSB

It’ll use post NSB coding if you tell it to

[round bluff]

Will try it for focus tree maybw

[coarse bloom]

Yes but you need to work with it
You have to double check its work and correct it when it messes up

[round bluff]

What nation u working on?

[abstract burrow]

hmmm

[coarse bloom]

It has the issue of thinking you make custom modifiers often

[abstract burrow]

it dont work on the small pic but works on the big

[coarse bloom]

Cuba overhaul

[round bluff]

Actually you can I think? But would need pretty work for it

[round bluff]

The one already in workshop?

[coarse bloom]

send link

theres a possibility its one of my older builds

ive been working on the mod for a year now as im a one man team

[round bluff]

Will now

[abstract burrow]

did you guys know theres a website to do a whole mod lol

[coarse bloom]

it adds states, provinces, terrain, flags, leaders, equipment, focuses, decisions and events

its a fully fleshed out minor nation overhaul mod

heres some assets for focuses

[round bluff]

go to your HoI IV game folder (Not documents), and in "common/units/equpiment/modules u should find the stuff u need

[round bluff]

the hoi tool?

[abstract burrow]

hoi4modding.com

[coarse bloom]

yeah its useful but like with anything else you have to do a lot of the work yourself

it just helps you build a foundation

[abstract burrow]

im a one man team

lol

[coarse bloom]

use the new one theyre making

its edge.hoi4modding or something

[round bluff]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2954063955

[coarse bloom]

no thats not mine

[abstract burrow]

thats what i use lol

[round bluff]

me too, but that website is hell, I don't like it except for focus tree

[coarse bloom]

this mod is very inaccurate

[abstract burrow]

same

[round bluff]

Haven't tried it yet, is pending

[coarse bloom]

Fidel didnt rise to power until 1950 during the revolution and finally attained control in 1959

its well out of hoi4's scope

[abstract burrow]

does anyone know how to make focus tree events on the website?

[coarse bloom]

i think its trigger_event (event id)

put it in the rewards tab, itll be done upon completion

[round bluff]

but if you are a CHAD UTTNH enjoy as me, its nice to have it

[abstract burrow]

tysm

[coarse bloom]

i think youll like mine a lot more
very fleshed out and offers a lot of paths for cuba

military government, communist, democratic, auth democratic, falangist
all sorts of stuff with a lot of leaders in every field all triggered by events

[gritty cave]

im currently planning my focus tree, what should i add to it? (first and second political branches atm)

ive only done localisation for the first branch though

[abstract burrow]

im doing graphics design

hard tbh

[coarse bloom]

check out other country focus trees for inspiration

[coarse bloom]

for what

[abstract burrow]

focus icons

[gritty cave]

yeah im basing mine off of the likes of kaiserreich and kaiserredux haha

[abstract burrow]

country logos

generals

[coarse bloom]

easiest thing ever

[abstract burrow]

no lol

[coarse bloom]

i got u brodie

[abstract burrow]

im making it custom for the mod

its hard

[coarse bloom]

accept my friend request

ill send u some assets

[round bluff]

I want to play Cuba with other mods, will u change states of it?

[round bluff]

Check other focus, but having a Political - Mili - Econ - Diplo branches could suffice, maybe aterritorial expansion one

[coarse bloom]

yeah itll have custom states since cuba only has one

i want to add Pinar del Rio, Havana, Guantanamo, Holguin, Santa Clara and Ciego de Avila

small states on par with european countries
but itll let cuba build civs and mils

[abstract burrow]

@round bluff want to see a focus icon i made?

[round bluff]

that could make it uncompatible with other mods, only problem I see

[round bluff]

ofc!

Btw I have some asset packs for use in icons and stuff, I found them and are free to use

u want the links?

they are in github

[gritty cave]

yeah thats the plan, 4 political paths (Bela Kun, Military, Democratic-Socialist, Nationalist) along with diff diplo/expansion stuff for all 4 of them. Mil and econ stuff will be the same except for some stuff only certain paths will have

[coarse bloom]

sent him a pack

teaser for my mod but its in development hell rn

[gritty cave]

ooh

[round bluff]

fancyy

[coarse bloom]

some national spirit icons

[gritty cave]

thats sick oh my god

[gritty cave]

i still need to learn to make national spirit icons lol

[round bluff]

Oi mait, I want to hire you for my mods! Pay is 0, reward is eternal grace from great leader!

[abstract burrow]

focus icon

[round bluff]

ohh I see modern style

[coarse bloom]

i can send u some free to use assets

[round bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/kim-jong-un-gif-25212933

[gritty cave]

nah its good, i kinda wanna do everything on my own cuz i want my parents to be proud of me

(half joking here)

[abstract burrow]

i have nobody hired currently,

and my parents arent proud of me

[round bluff]

https://github.com/NewGrestin/Grestinpack/tree/master

https://github.com/Globvs/Ultimate-HOI4-GFX/tree/master

[coarse bloom]

theyre just assets
you still have to do the work

[gritty cave]

maybeeeee

[round bluff]

yes

[gritty cave]

although designing my own assets would be fun

to like, learn how to do it lol

[round bluff]

IMO is loosing time

is like coding some stuff, you just pick resources online

is the same and faster

[abstract burrow]

so, can anyone walk me through making an event on edge.hoi4?

[round bluff]

no need to spend 3h on a single icon

[round bluff]

never used it sorry

[abstract burrow]

damn

[coarse bloom]

ill show you my process

[round bluff]

I can send a mod with an event chain if u want to copy it

[coarse bloom]

a simple background

then i make my own asset

[gritty cave]

oooh

[coarse bloom]

and done

[gritty cave]

OH

thats actually

a lot simpler

than i thought

[coarse bloom]

youll need photoshop to give it the gradients

[abstract burrow]

its set in 1936 too

lol

[gritty cave]

i mean, ive done similar stuff in the art app i use personally

so its good

[round bluff]

I would change it a bit then for art style if u got skills?

I mean my icos look very bad, not one to criticise

[coarse bloom]

let me show u guys some of the portraits (theyre in beta, better versions will be used when the mod comes out)

[abstract burrow]

Im gonna change it too the future

i just dont know how

[round bluff]

this me icons, horrible!

[coarse bloom]

Batista (Auth) portrait

[round bluff]

he was the guy previous to castro right?

[coarse bloom]

Ramon grau

[coarse bloom]

in 1959 yeah

[round bluff]

the dictator they overthrew, which was supported by west and USA

[gritty cave]

ive only made two portraits and theyre ngl not that good

[round bluff]

to impose a dictator supported by USSR

xD

[gritty cave]

heres mine

[coarse bloom]

but he won an election in 1940 and was legitimate president until 1944
he came back in 1950 to run for presidency again, lost, started a coup and the cuban civil war started
it ended in 1959 with fidel castro taking power

[round bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/payed-you-guys-are-getting-gif-25371494

you guys can do portarits?

[round bluff]

I see, thanks for lesson!

[coarse bloom]

Heres Prios Socarrias

[gritty cave]

its more of colorising old images lol, atleast for me

[round bluff]

the fact he laughing kileld me

[gritty cave]

he go :D

[coarse bloom]

Blas Roca

Zayas

New barnet portrait

democratic (1940) Batista

Gomez

and Laredo bru

most of these are placeholders for better portraits to come later so theyre rough

[gritty cave]

ooh

they alr look good

ngl

[coarse bloom]

not up to my standards
i want the mod to be near-peer to vanilla hoi4

[gritty cave]

ah i see

[abstract burrow]

what do i do for mean time?

[gritty cave]

like

date

i think

idk ive jnever used that

[round bluff]

Put 1 and is 1 day

I believe

[abstract burrow]

and timeout days?

[coarse bloom]

i think edgehoi4modding uses weeks

[abstract burrow]

1 as well?

[coarse bloom]

you have to test

[round bluff]

No idea on that

[abstract burrow]

0.14285714

[round bluff]

I just code with notepad++ only use this tool for focus tree quick structure

[abstract burrow]

is the day in week

[coarse bloom]

wish there was more documentation on that website
the owner is a goober

that website has been in dev hell for 2 years now lol

[round bluff]

Whenever I tried to use it for really doing something

[abstract burrow]

nah its in days prob

[round bluff]

All went boombastic

[coarse bloom]

Only working focuses in the mod rn

this is the army tree

[gritty cave]

quick tip! for the actual code itself, a score of "1" is 7 days

[abstract burrow]

it wont let me say a number less than one

so ill have to go into the code

[gritty cave]

o

[coarse bloom]

yeah so it uses weeks

use 1 and in 7 days your trigger will fire
doesnt have to be immediate, a lot of hoi4 triggers fire delayed

[abstract burrow]

country_event = {
id = EVENT_ID
days = 10
random = 50
random_days = 10
}

can anyone explain

[round bluff]

My events are not instant, they tale a time, but work good anyway

[round bluff]

No idea on randoms

Check wiki, they must explain there!

[coarse bloom]

heres chatGPT helping with focuses

[abstract burrow]

LETS GO

MY THING WORKS

[gritty cave]

hey just wondering, if how do i make it so that a focus can happen if either one or another focus is done?

like this but actually working

like, how do i make it require omly one of these

[round bluff]

Like one or another?

[coarse bloom]

like
you can only pick one?

[round bluff]

ups

[gritty cave]

this

[abstract burrow]

my focus works

[gritty cave]

you pick either one focus or the other

[round bluff]

an OR statement is done by putting 2 focuses inside a prerequisite as prerequisite = { focus = TAG_other_focus_1 focus = TAG_other_focus_2 }

[gritty cave]

but the focus unlocks

[round bluff]

this is from wiki

[abstract burrow]

@round bluff could you help me, idk why my icons wont work

[gritty cave]

ohh ok lemme try

[round bluff]

99% stuff is on wiki, 1% is not or very bad explained (Ehem custom tooltips)

[round bluff]

I can try

send the code for one icon not working

[gritty cave]

how about for requirement?

[abstract burrow]

    focus = {
        id = SCO_the_founding_father
        icon = GFX_SCO_the_founding_father-534954
        x = 3
        y = 0
        cost = 1
        search_filters = {
            FOCUS_FILTER_USA_CONGRESS
        }
        ai_will_do = { factor = 100 }
        completion_reward = {
            country_event = {
                id = founding_father_focus_event.1
                hours = 1   
            }
            ```

they both wont work

[round bluff]

requirement?

[gritty cave]

its like a separate thing

for diff paths

[round bluff]

I would bet on this elliot
icon = GFX_SCO_the_founding_father-534954

change to

icon = GFX_SCO_the_founding_father_534954

[gritty cave]

im stupid

i meant available

[abstract burrow]

i fixed one of them

[round bluff]

I assume it lacks closing brackets cause you copy pasted?

[round bluff]

nice nice

[abstract burrow]

but it doesnt apply

[round bluff]

explain pls

[round bluff]

close and open game

or in commandconsole try

reloadinterface or reloadfocus

reloadfocus or alike, no idea the exact syntax now

[abstract burrow]

ill restart

[gritty cave]

ok so i did this for a focus at the start of a branch only to be usable after a separate focus from another branch is picked:

im tryhing to figure out how to make it available for if one of two focuses are picekd

[round bluff]

ah

like

if A or B is taken, you can go C?

[gritty cave]

more of

you can take A or B

to select C

yeah

i read ur thing wrong lol

basically that yeah

[round bluff]

prerequisite = { focus = TAG_other_focus_1 focus = TAG_other_focus_2 }

this

[gritty cave]

ohhh

ok tyty

[abstract burrow]

didnt work

[round bluff]

it will make an "OR" logic gate

[round bluff]

okay

so

send the actual code of the focus

and nothing in error logs?

[abstract burrow]

focus_tree = {
id = sco-focus
continuous_focus_position = { x = -40 y = 1050 }
country = {
factor = 0
modifier = {
add = 10
tag = SCO
}
}
#The founding father
focus = {
id = SCO_the_founding_father
icon = GFX_founding_father
x = 3
y = 0
cost = 1
search_filters = {
FOCUS_FILTER_USA_CONGRESS
}
ai_will_do = { factor = 100 }
completion_reward = {
country_event = {
id = founding_father_focus_event.1
hours = 1
}

    }
}

}

nothing besides some character issues

but its because i havent added yet

[round bluff]

and the .GFX file has the correct code?

you changed name of file and icon, but in GFX?

[abstract burrow]

goals.gfx?

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_founding_father"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/GFX_SCO_the_founding_father-534954.dds"
}

[round bluff]

no idea the name

there you go

[abstract burrow]

i did all of that

[round bluff]

could be -575757575

change to _5757575

[abstract burrow]

i copied and pasted it

from the file

[round bluff]

nono

change the file nam

[abstract burrow]

ohh ok

[round bluff]

and also, mayeb _founding_father is used

    name = "GFX_founding_father_SCO"
    texturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/GFX_SCO_the_founding_father-534954.dds"
    }````

icon = GFX_founding_father_SCO

error log says nothing?

[gritty cave]

ok i figured out a workaround, thank you!!!!!

[abstract burrow]

nothing which i understand xd

[round bluff]

coolio!

[round bluff]

send the file

you only have 1 mod active?

[abstract burrow]

yup

[round bluff]

You use SOC for both Scotland and State of California

change State of California tag to SOC, and scotland to SCO

[abstract burrow]

i dont have a state of california

its under scotland

just renamed

[round bluff]

but uses same tag

can lead to confusion

to the game

I'm just guessing given the errors you have

[abstract burrow]

ill go through the files

[coarse bloom]

custom cuban M1917 tank variant based on the american tank.

longer barrel, camouflage, cuban roundel on turret, extra MG on rear

ps cuba has one of the coolest roundels ever

[abstract burrow]

@round bluff I Missed 2 files out

[abstract burrow]

gonna do some tests

see if it works

@round bluff guess what

It works

[round bluff]

What was it? Files lacking?

[abstract burrow]

it came with replacements of

Done

[whole mango]

the mod i was working on was looking good until the map modding fked up everything

[abstract burrow]

can you fix it?

[whole mango]

nah i just gave up

alot of errors on the map

[abstract burrow]

i see

i would reccomend joining a dev team if you want to persue it still

or make a new mod @whole mango

[whole mango]

i mean i was working on this one for a long time and its sad that it would just end like that

this mod reached 3.6 gb

[whole mango]

where to join

[abstract burrow]

i dont know as im not in a dev team

im a solo dev

but i heard there are good mods who are hiring

[whole mango]

so you are experienced ??

[abstract burrow]

kinda

[whole mango]

i can ask you for solving problems ?? xd

[abstract burrow]

i am more intelligent in the graphics and lore of mods

however i can make good nations

[whole mango]

i did everything correctly until i began map modding

[abstract burrow]

i dont map mod

it screws me up too

[whole mango]

alot of stuff and so confusing , terrain , provinces , states , strategic states , supply states , waters

[abstract burrow]

yup

i mean

there are good tutorials

[whole mango]

i followed ironworkshop and i still got this thing

[abstract burrow]

he waffles to much

hes never to the point

[whole mango]

wait

look at this shitt

[abstract burrow]

if you get provinences

assigned

it should be fixed

no?

[whole mango]

i litterally assigned all of them
deleted the whole file and starting again following sstep by step
did it again following everysingle move he does with same provinces and states

it still gives error

[abstract burrow]

did you use the nudge tool?

[whole mango]

yeah

[abstract burrow]

yeah its broke

hasnt worked for a while

[whole mango]

what ?

[abstract burrow]

the nudge tool is ass

seriously

only use it to create regions

[whole mango]

i need it mostly for IDs and generating RGBs

[abstract burrow]

Hmm

i see

on another topic, heres my background for my mod

[whole mango]

thats fire

[abstract burrow]

want to see some more?

[whole mango]

yeah suree

[abstract burrow]

my focus tree one

[whole mango]

this guy looks a (bit) like lenin

[abstract burrow]

its not dw

ill show the main pfp for it

@whole mango

[whole mango]

greaat

what is the mod about

[abstract burrow]

after ww1 the world was destroyed

and civilisations/tribes/governments started to be created

going to be big wars etc

[whole mango]

if you want my advice it would be better if you zoom into his face a little more

[abstract burrow]

took too long

so before the first update, maybe

idk rn

[whole mango]

alr

[abstract burrow]

i am gonna look for someone to dev with

one day

[whole mango]

me

me

[abstract burrow]

i mean

if you want

idk how to make a dev team however]

[whole mango]

nah just make a discord server
give it the mod name and then DEV team

[abstract burrow]

sure!

ill add you

[whole mango]

as long as i am not in the map modding team i am in

xd

[abstract burrow]

im map modding rn

lol

[whole mango]

LOL

so my mod in short terms was

[abstract burrow]

I may have just broke my mod

oh no

i have

oh poo

[whole mango]

how

[abstract burrow]

i tried making a new state

it froze mid way through

then crashed

then wont load again

[whole mango]

for me this is enough to break the game

[round bluff]

Launch game with -debug

[abstract burrow]

just deleted all hoi4 game files

[round bluff]

And use nudge to fix state

[abstract burrow]

i did

it still crashes

[round bluff]

Error log also says what happens

Hmm weird?

[abstract burrow]

im deleting the game

reinstalling

[whole mango]

@abstract burrow about your mod

[abstract burrow]

yes?

[whole mango]

so what happened in ww1

like who mostly destroyed the world

who won , who got fked

[abstract burrow]

germany won

by bombing all the countries

[whole mango]

something germanery

[abstract burrow]

the bombs had a poisonous gas in it which created an intense cloud

which rained across the world

which killed 80% of the world

including germany

[whole mango]

damn

[abstract burrow]

i have the lore planned

[whole mango]

my mod was basically ww2 ends in a huge stalemate

[abstract burrow]

thats sick

smart idea

[whole mango]

basically

germany signed the molotof pact

but once they collapsed poland , they broke the pact and didnt share it with the soviets

soviets stop giving them the tanks technology

germany capitulates netherlands and belgium but they struggle in northern france

because of lack of tanks

germany began activating a plan called "Rommel's angriff"

which will later be nicknamed by the allies to "Rommel's Folly"

[abstract burrow]

so germany fails

[whole mango]

this plan was revealed by british spies and they planned their deffenese around paris and northern france

germany gathered all the troops and began preparing for the offensive and they push the allies back to paris

the allies knew it would be the last stand

the uk gathered every soldier across the empire and they sent them to paris

the Allies won

but they took the double of germany casualities and they couldnt continue any further

germany wasnt happy with the lost battle

so both sides agree on peace

a TEMPORARY peace

this is the main lore

there is a lot of other side lores such a trotsky survies assasintion and begins planning the great plot

uk grants israel lands in the holy lands which will create a massive war in the middle east

[abstract burrow]

Sounds really good

[whole mango]

oh and i forgot

when trotsky assasination failed , he went to italy and made a deal with mussolini to help him win the war in africa and in return he would help him in his plot

as we know

trotsky is a military genius and he won the war in ethiopeia , kenya , sudan , south sudan but he couldnt be in libya so italy lost control over libya to the uk

the grand council of facism began asking mussolini existence and power

in short terms

civil war in italy

[abstract burrow]

So some big stuff was happening

[whole mango]

yeah

Japan and usa lore is so big to tell

[abstract burrow]

Sad to hear it failed

[whole mango]

focus tier list
maginificent : France , germany , Uk
super : USA , italy , Japan , turkey , bulgaria
great : Israel , palestine , egypt , saudi arabia , syrian states
good : every other balkan country and chineese countries
WEIRD : Soviet union and Union Socialista Italo and Soviet union (trotsky)

[abstract burrow]

I see

My focus trees will be detailed

And it’s a whole world conversion into my game world

[whole mango]

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR MOD MAP

sorry for caps

[abstract burrow]

I only have one country

As I started the mod yesterday

[whole mango]

i started mine 5 weeks ago

finished most of work and stopped at map modding

to do list
power struggle in japan
2nd usa civil war
rommels plot
italo balbo PACT

thats what was left

[abstract burrow]

@whole mango will you ever work on it?

[whole mango]

not really because map fked up everything

[abstract burrow]

do you know how to make countries and focus trees and divisions?

[whole mango]

do you have bookmarks ready ?

[abstract burrow]

for start dates?

[whole mango]

yeah

[abstract burrow]

gonna do it later

after i reinstall hoi4

[whole mango]

yeah i 75%

[abstract burrow]

i can do it all personally, but if you want a mod job, we can both work on nod

i will do all the designs and graphics

[whole mango]

the best way to learn country modding and focus tree is copying everything belonging to spain in vanilla

[abstract burrow]

haha

[whole mango]

spain is pain

[abstract burrow]

i already have a file for a country

so i just copy that over and over

[whole mango]

thats also smart

[abstract burrow]

if you wanted to work with me and make a country, i could supply you with the file and lore

[whole mango]

for somereason i copy bulgaria file

[abstract burrow]

and gfx

[abstract burrow]

why lol

[whole mango]

idk

[abstract burrow]

i swear its generic trees#

[neon totem]

anyone know to delete bookmarks?

1936 and 1939

I'm making 1949 one

[abstract burrow]

I think you have to overwrite it

Make a 1949 bookmark

And it should replace

[neon totem]

what should I do nex

[abstract burrow]

If your talking to me

I don’t have a clue

Last time I did a bookmark, it crashed, and I forgot most of the parts

[neon totem]

💀

ok, thanks for information!

[abstract burrow]

But actually

I have a question for you

Does the “map scale pixels to KM” increase the map size?

[neon totem]

idk

Maybe yes

[abstract burrow]

ty for telling me

[neon totem]

np

[whole mango]

go to your descriptor.mod

under supported version

type : replace_path = common/bookmarks

then go to your bookmark

under default country

type

add_default = yes

[obtuse condor]

I download the ultimate cheat mod but i wonder if my friend is also able to see the decisions?

[pliant reef]

what is a good 1v1 map

[jade mauve]

where is the event layout located?

[pale sparrow]

since its so few files you can also just empty the file after copying it into your mod

I think UI breaks tho if you try to display only one

[unique bridge]

no ur not

stop being on phone

[whole mango]

if you leave them empty then the country selection will just immediately show up without bookmarks menu

[pale sparrow]

oh yeh, but that has the issue that you cant go back to the main menu as easily

as it tries to send you back to the bookmark menu which sends you to country selection immediately again

[gloomy canyon]

whats the cheat code called, when you want to deploy instant manpower? something with russian, i dont remember anymore

[abstract burrow]

Manpower ?

Manpower number

Manpower 108302

The command?

[round bluff]

like deploy the troops u training?

[dapper latch]

I hate basketball americans🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🇹🇷

[gloomy canyon]

i found it, instanttraing is the command

[meager brook]

Strange question, does anyone know if there is a mod that is just the special forces rework part of "Road to 56"?

[strong iron]

i just had an idea on how to create an analog for missile warfare that doesnt just relabel heavy batteries for cold war/modern day mods, but I'm not a modder so I'd like to know if its feasible or not

create a special module for ships called a missile launcher, and it would borrow the mechanics from an aircraft carrier but only be able to hold a special aircraft called an "Anti-Ship Missile"

this missile would automatically regenerate just like the missiles on land missile sites, and would only have the kamikaze mission available

So would this be feasible to create?

if it is i'm thinking it could be balanced by having really crappy agility so it can be shot down if theres fighters protecting the fleet its targeting

[grim egret]

Is the formatting correct?

[obtuse condor]

Btw @pale sparrow thanks for suggesting the mod. This is MUCH better than millennium dawn

[celest onyx]

anyone know what mod this is

i found it in dankus video

[obtuse condor]

[potent zodiac]

I want to put this field marshal tag in this scripted effect

[distant night]

can yall help

[abstract burrow]

Do you all play on steam?

Or Microsoft?

[distant night]

All steam

[abstract burrow]

Are you all running stable, not debug?

[distant night]

To my knowledge all stable

[abstract burrow]

Are you sure your mods are up to date?

[distant night]

I was fairly sure but how do I check

[abstract burrow]

Don’t know personally on steam

But if you boot up the game and go to mods, make sure none of them are updating there

[distant night]

I think we had the same updated mods

Something went wrong though because we all had different checksums

[abstract burrow]

Let me google what that means

Ah

Try disabling all your dlcs @distant night

For everyone

[distant night]

So just try a multiplayer with all dlcs disabled for everyone

[abstract burrow]

Yep

If that doesn’t work, then idk

[distant night]

I’ll try that

Ask and help might come with time

[thin yew]

[abstract burrow]

usually you resize the bookmark

make it a smaller font

or, make it a smaller paragraph

[thin yew]

say me how to resize

[abstract burrow]

i dont know how to

as i never did resize it

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

[thin yew]

is there a way to change the entire bookmark menu ??

like change entire interface

[abstract burrow]

you can change the ui

yep you can

[thin yew]

great

how

[abstract burrow]

my dev team and i havent got to that part in my mod, so i couldnt tell you a step by step tutorial

but maybe look in the hoi4 base game files

and replace them

[thin yew]

you team

[abstract burrow]

what?

[thin yew]

Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\interface

[abstract burrow]

i would check Hearts of iron iv/ interface

first

[hot nebula]

can someone please help? im making a decision which requires you to have at least 5 early submarine hull ships and it wont work. i clearly have several submarine 1s

and i have this

available = {
is_subject = no
has_war = no
has_navy_size = {
type = { submarine }
archetype = ship_hull_submarine_1
size > 3
}
}

and i also dont recieve the dockyard output buff

[urban cape]

Early submarines arent submarine 1s...

[hot nebula]

wym

[urban cape]

I mean what i said

Early submarines arent sub 1s

[hot nebula]

early submarine hulls are submarine 1s

[urban cape]

Nuh uh

No way

I am most certain that they are not

[hot nebula]

either way it dosent matter because no matter what ship type i change it to it still dosent work

i just changed it to sub 2s and it still gives the same result

[urban cape]

Early subs are sub 1s

My whole life has been a lie

This is truly the biggest fail of all time

[hot nebula]

can you help with modding?

[urban cape]

Nah

[hot nebula]

damn

[earnest gull]

whats the code for a modifier

?

in modding

[thin yew]

[obtuse condor]

Can someone make a mod only visible to one player?

[pale sparrow]

[obtuse condor]

Dayum

Im not a modder tho

Just wanted to make this mod like toolpack

[obtuse condor]

Well yeah ur right

This mod sadly seems to no longer exist of Hearts of Iron IV mod on Steam. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=dutch&id=1221672541 https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/goauld-system-lords-stargate-mod.957612/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHtRGwFM2YY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFk2J7yAJL8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG761yamMgA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjvCwEhnnUs. I wish that it could be brought back and versions of it made for Imperator Rome, Crusader Kings 3, Europa Universalis IV, and Victoria 3.

[quaint bear]

I purchased the game thinking that I would be able to play the mod but when I found that the mod no longer exists. I had gotten so frustrated. And considering go get a refund for the game.

[neon totem]

My 1949 mod map lol

Gonna fix some state

I need someone to help me think about story

[nimble solar]

So in this world, did the USA fall asleep, Germany didn't invade the Soviet Union, and Britain wiped out at Dunkirk?

Also most of the Commonwealth gaining independence I guess?

Usually you come up with the story before the map

[gritty cave]

hey just wondering, why doesnt my focus icon show up before i take the focus, but it shows up everywhere else and after the focus is taken? its the first focus taken at the start of the game for hungary and im honestly not sure why it doesnt work, despite the other focus on the bottom completely working,

[neon totem]

US Join the wat tho but like

Japanese won battle of Midway and Hawaii

Bring US to negotiate table

[nimble solar]

Ah, US wimped out

[neon totem]

Chamberlain still remain in power, after Germany secure almost entire Europe and German blockage around British, UK has to negotiate to make itself survive

[nimble solar]

So everyone wimped out, got it

[neon totem]

And yeah, US stand alone against German and Italy so they need to negotiate peace with them, again.

Germany didnt invade USSR

But they'll

Not good at English but like

April 20, 1949 - Hitler's 60th Birthday, Assassination attemp in that day (assumed to be Soviet assassin). Hitler still survive

[nimble solar]

This is one heck of a combo between TNO and TWR

[neon totem]

💀

[nimble solar]

Map reminds me of TWR with lore a mixture of TNO and TWR

[neon totem]

Yeah

But

Soviet still survive

@nimble solar you can read

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C4J7VQno1mYlWAXNTTRcD_7oEuuA7kN71cG914iPssg/edit?usp=drivesdk

But not done

And maybe bad English

I just thinking this story in an hour tho 💀

I need someone to help me

[wooden moth]

with what

?

[neon totem]

Story

[wooden moth]

seems pretty good to me

english could use some work tho

[neon totem]

You wanna help?

[wooden moth]

how long will that take cause i only got an hour

anyway I came for help with a national spirt that wont work

[timber zenith]

You made the interface file, but not the shine file

interface/goals_shine.gfx

[timber zenith]

The mod hadn't been updated for over 5 years, and you should be able to see that the mod doesn't exist without owning the game

[neon totem]

We need that to

I have server, wanna join?

@timber zenith do you know how to delete others bookmark?

[timber zenith]

Copy the vanilla file you want to delete into your own mod and make it empty

[neon totem]

How to?

Which file

[timber zenith]

the bookmark file

[neon totem]

I did

Wait

[neon totem]

@timber zenith which one??

[timber zenith]

which one do you want to delete

[earnest gull]

like a national spirit

i want to remove trotskyite plot from the ussr national spirits

[neon totem]

1936 and 1939

I wanna add 1949 and I did tho

[timber zenith]

Copy those bookmarks into your mod and make them empty

[neon totem]

Where's it locate

[timber zenith]

common/bookmarks

[neon totem]

Thanks!

[timber zenith]

No worries

[neon totem]

@timber zenith (I'm lazy to type it again)

[timber zenith]

You might also want to put replace_path="common/bookmarks" in both of your descriptor files

[neon totem]

ok thanks!

[gritty cave]

where do i put additional arguements when making an event? i want to make an event last for only 5 days to prevent an exploit

[timber zenith]

timeout_days = 5

put it anywhere, outside the option

[gritty cave]

ohhh ok

ty

[timber zenith]

No worries

[neon totem]

@timber zenith can you join my server for developing? I really need help

[timber zenith]

sure

[gritty cave]

ok so ive run into an issue:
my mutually exclusive focus still runs even if the other focus is taken. as in, it doesnt cancel if the other focus is taken. is there a way to fix this? heres my code and what im trying to prevent

what should i add or change to make the invalid focus cancel?

[neon totem]

ok

[thin yew]

i just have a weird question , if i put the bookmark start date to a negattive number , will it be bc , and if not , is there a way to make it bc ?

[gritty cave]

nvm found a workaround

[neon totem]

descriptor file?

[timber zenith]

descriptor.mod in your mod folder, and the .mod folder with the same name as your mod just outside its folder

[neon totem]

I didn't have it I guess

[timber zenith]

your mod can't work if it isn't there

[neon totem]

oh

Descriptor

I see

[gritty cave]

how do i make a focus always false?

[earnest gull]

anyone know whats the code to change a name

[neon totem]

What name?

@timber zeniththis one??

[timber zenith]

Yeah

and the one outside the mod's folder

passingstorm.mod

[timber zenith]

The name of what?

[neon totem]

thanks

[earnest gull]

i want to change Soviet Union to Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but i want to make it so you can only change it when you complete a national focus

[neon totem]

and uh, copy 2 bookmark files and delete the code in it?

[timber zenith]

try without it, i'm not sure if that's needed
