Hi! As FRA I want to increase the factory productivity of ITA by decision. But industrial_capacity_factory is not working as an effect in a decision. Any suggestions how to deal with it? Triggering a news-event? Thanks

How can I set a variable in a decision to use it in the localisation for the tool-tip? To use it in the tool-tip it has to be set not in the remove_effect or the complete_effect block :/

Could anyone remake that particular mod. It would be interesting to play with not just Goauld system lords characters as additional factions but also the Replicators characters as additional factions, the Ori characters as additional factions, and the Wraith Hive Queen leadership characters as additional factions.

abstract burrow
#

Ok, so, many people dont know how to map mod

#

as its a time consuming skill

timber zenith
#

Yeah

abstract burrow
#

i do it, usually for free, but if its a big one i can charge, but only if the people im working for pay out of their own way

#

i do pretty much all my work for free, you could call it a tip

Remaking a mod isn't easy by the way, id recommend learning yourself

If I can't find that particular mod I am going back and forth on getting the game refunded even if I had installed other mods on the game. I simply was looking forward to playing with that mod.

But making it from scratch would be easier than updating it

anybody can make Rome empire flag?

What was that link?

#

the one i sent?

timber zenith
#

Yeah

abstract burrow
#

a youtuber played the mod and put it in their desc

#

that was what was in their desc

timber zenith
#

Ohhhh

quaint bear
# abstract burrow there it is

I clicked on that link before because a Youtube video on the Stargate SG1 mod used that particular link. But it was hard to tell if it is the same even similar mod because the description doesn't exactly mention Stargate even if the Video listed the link.

abstract burrow
#

it wasnt

quaint bear
# abstract burrow they rebranded

So by rebranding the mod did they remove the Stargate aspects even if a youtube video on the Stargate franchise mod for the Hearts of Iron IV listed the link for Crimson Banner as the rebranded Stargate franchise mod for the Hearts of Iron IV.

abstract burrow
#

stargate aspects were removed

#

sorry buddy

quaint bear
# abstract burrow sorry buddy

I want the stargate aspects brought back that is a large reason why I had used the funds that I was saving for Firefly Studios Stronghold Definitive Edition at its release. To purchase Hearts of Iron IV instead.

#

hi

quaint bear
# abstract burrow a youtuber played the mod and put it in their desc

I had contacted Amazon's customer service online chat with their human staff. Amazon as MGM's new owners therefore corporate bosses and therefore Stargate Franchise's new owners if they could possibly be more leniant on steam edition Paradox Interactive games modders such as those that made the Stargate franchise mod for Hearts of Iron IV.

quaint bear
#

So I guess I won't request a refund rather wait past the date of the final opportunity for refunding on Steam and see if Amazon will get that sort of descision of MGM be loosened. Or maybe if that isn't quite possible reach out to Paradox Interactive to provide and create-design official Stargate Franchise expansion/dlc content for Paradox Interactive games such as Imperator Rome, Crusader Kings 3, Europa Universalis IV, Victoria 3, and Stellaris. And also working with Paradox Interactive in purchasing and/or partnering with Paradox Interactive to unpause and/or bring back official game designing development of Imperator Rome.

Go to Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 394360

#

The mod folder is 1692466780

#

go to gfx and replace the "screen" file with a .DDS image

#

remember to name it:

#

there are many free online websites you can use to convert an image to DDS

#

Thanks

Ping me if it doesn't work!

#

is there a way to find out exactly what the problem with nudge is?

#

or do i just have to look for 6 hours until i find it manually?

gritty cave
#

from my experience its sadly the latter

#

you kinda just fix states manually in the states files

hello there
i have built a program (in python) which extracts all music formatted files from the game, but i only want the actual music, not "englishman running away from gunfire.ogg", and so i was wondering if the music files are in a different format, like "ogg" or "mp3" than the sounds?

timber zenith

#

(sorry about the sticker in advance)

ic ttyty

they'll be in the music folders within the dlcs

gritty cave
#

i havent tried yet

#

kinda taking a break lol

loud rampart
#

mate, i am not going to look at every single folder

#

i am a programmer, too lazy for that

timber zenith
#

I'm sure it would be faster than programming that lol

#

You could specify to just check the dlc folder

loud rampart
#

hm nvm

#

i fixed it

#

it seems the sounds are in WAV format

#

vs the music which is in ogg

timber zenith
#

also that

obtuse condor
#

hi

#

does anyone know how to add or change the voiceline when selecting units in hoi4?

guys whats the code to make a advisor available

#

its something like add_advisor =

#

not add advisor but available advisor

timber zenith
#

rather than through the focus

earnest gull
#

but i wanna make it like cooperation against Stalin

#

can you tell me the code plz if i can make it through national focus

earnest gull
#

like

#

i want to make a focus similiar to cooperation against Stalin and i want to make the advisors like nikolay bukharin available

timber zenith
#

yes

#

well I'm telling you that code doesn't exist

#

you have to do it through the character file

#

make them available through there

#

like with the scope has_completed_focus

#

also run recruit_character = in your country's history file

pale sparrow
#

indeed doesnt exist

#

recruit_character must be run in the history file to not throw errors, you just put a focus check in the availability of the character, or if its a commander, the visible block

earnest gull
#

ima try

#

cant i just do this

#

@timber zenith @pale sparrow

#

i saw it in cooperation against stalin code and it worked

timber zenith
#

If you look at the soviet character file you'll lsee it recruits them there

pale sparrow
#

You need to have the flag in the availability of the character then itll automatically unlock

earnest gull
#

ok

timber zenith
#

it's effectively the same thing as using the focus itself as the trigger

earnest gull
#

i tried this on another focus it did work but then i tried it with another focus with different advisors, and it didnt work

fiery owl
#

Hey guys, I have a question, how can I make a focus to be bypassed? For example I make a focus which will set the ruling party to communism but if player has already turned communist by then this focus will be bypassed

lofty plaza
fiery owl
#

I have put also the condition more that 50% popularity does it play any role?

#

And also how can I add new units through focuses? I copypasted the code from Ethiopian focus tree but it won’t work, what should I change there?

earnest gull
#

@timber zenith does this work

timber zenith
#

Possibly

#

Does it?

timber zenith

Might help you more than just telling you

Maybe you typed it wrong? It should be { focus = name of your focus focus = name of your focus etc}

Like this:

#TestFocus focus = { id = TAG_testfocus icon = GFX_goal_unknown x = 2 y = 2 cost = 2 search_filters = { FOCUS_FILTER_POLITICAL } prerequisite = { focus = TAG_first_focus focus = TAG_second_focus } #OR }

@timber zenith breh

#

Hello people. I need help

#

Anyone has a mod that lets me pick general skills, or removes the limit of only having 9 skills on one general? The other mod i need is something that removes the red lines from the game. Anyone has a mod for these?

Thank you

#

Bro how do I mod the soviet focus tree? 💀

abstract burrow
#

@earnest gull yk what you could try

#

if it fails fully

#

changing the ruling party as a reward

earnest gull
#

i dont think it work

#

any other ideas?

abstract burrow
#

let me do some wiki research

earnest gull

abstract burrow
#

In Hearts of Iron IV (HoI4), changing a country's flag upon focus tree completion involves a few steps, including creating a custom national focus and event. Here's a simplified overview of how you can achieve this:

Note: Modding in HoI4 requires some knowledge of scripting, event creation, and mod folder structure. Make sure you have a basic understanding of these concepts before attempting this.

Step 1: Create a Custom National Focus:

Go to your mod's directory in the "mod" folder (if you don't have a mod, create one by making a new folder with a ".mod" file).
Inside your mod's directory, create a new folder for your custom focus tree. Name it something like "my_mod_focuses."
Inside the "my_mod_focuses" folder, create a new text file with the ".txt" extension. Name it something like "my_custom_focus.txt."
In this text file, define your custom national focus. Here's a basic example:
plaintext
Copy code
focus_tree {
id = my_custom_focus
x = 5
y = 2
cost = 10
available = {
has_government = fascism
}
completion_reward = {
custom_effect_tooltip = {
text = "Change Flag"
}
}
}
This focus will only be available if your country has a fascist government. Adjust the conditions and effects as needed for your mod.

#

Step 2: Create a Custom Event:

Inside your mod's directory, create a new folder for events. Name it something like "my_mod_events."
Inside the "my_mod_events" folder, create a new text file with the ".txt" extension. Name it something like "my_flag_change_event.txt."
In this text file, define your custom event. Here's a basic example:
plaintext
Copy code
country_event = {
id = my_flag_change_event
title = "Flag Change Event"
desc = "This event changes the country's flag upon completing a focus."
picture = GFX_report_event_generic_change
is_triggered_only = yes

option = {
    name = "Change Flag"
    custom_effect = {
        change_country_flag = {
            flag = "new_flag_name"
        }
    }
}

}
This event changes the flag of the country to "new_flag_name" when triggered.

Step 3: Link the Focus and Event:
In your custom focus file ("my_custom_focus.txt"), add a "completion_reward" section that triggers your custom event when the focus is completed:

plaintext
Copy code
completion_reward = {
custom_effect_tooltip = {
text = "Change Flag"
}
hidden_effect = {
country_event = { id = my_flag_change_event }
}
}
Step 4: Create the Flag File:
Inside your mod's directory, create a "gfx" folder and within it, create a "flags" folder. Place your custom flag image in this folder with the name "new_flag_name.tga" (adjust the name as needed).

Step 5: Activate Your Mod:
Activate your mod in the game's launcher and start a new game with it to test your custom focus tree and flag change event.

This is a simplified overview of how to change a HoI4 flag upon focus tree completion in a mod. Depending on your specific needs, you may need to customize and expand upon these steps. Make sure to consult the HoI4 modding documentation for more detailed information on modding events, national focuses, and flags.

@earnest gull ^

damn

#

thats a lot of things

#

can you give me something more simple or smth xd

#

idk

abstract burrow
#

i didnt write it lol

earnest gull
#

xd

#

does set_country_flag = work?

#

i saw it in soviet union focus tree

earnest gull
#

@abstract burrow yo i have one more question

#

so basically

#

at the end of every focus

#

there are like } }

#

and i dont know how to like use them

#

sometimes i use 2 } sometimes 3 }

So SOV_marxism_communism for example

#

Other than that it should work

sly basalt
#

I wanna get into modding a modern day mod of my own because I really don't like Millennium Dawn and Novux doesn't have enough content. Is there a mod that's just a modern day map without anything else?

#

First place I want to start is an Israel focus tree, so I'd like to actually have Israel in game along with Palestine so I can learn what I'm doing and how I want things to work.

#

I've got a pretty awesome idea I think for part of an Israel focus tree but yeah I need a map with both Israel and Palestine so I can start making it.

How to make custom map

#

Bro how do I mod the soviet focus tree? without nsb 💀

quick pivot
#

god i despise myself

#

i was working on a map in my mod yesterday

#

and while i was working i saved while the work was in progress

#

and now i opened it and worked on some borders but that file is outdated

#

so all the progress from yesterday is gone

earnest gull
bleak dragon
#

How to make custom map

sly oracle
#

why is this in tno

timber zenith
timber zenith
sly basalt
#

For now I just wanna figure out how focus trees work so I can make an Israel focus tree.

timber zenith
sly basalt
#

Hence why I'm asking for a map so I can do that part later.

timber zenith
sly basalt
#

I suppose if you're sure.

#

Alright. How do I start off then? I'm at square one.

#

I want Israel and Palestine as they were de jure in 2000. With Israel's provinces and Palestine having West Bank and Gaza Strip.

timber zenith
#

Firstly, make your own mod, then in nudge tool, select the state you want to change and press "open file", then modify it to have the owner you want. Then save the file and put it in the mod folder

#

Modifying provinces is much more difficult though

#

Which is what I think you're looking for as well

sly basalt
#

What is nudge tool?

#

And yeah from my understanding, the Levant isn't really broken up in vanilla the way I want it to be.

timber zenith
#

right click hoi4 > properties > launch options > type -debug

#

Tutorials, especially from theironworkshop are your best friend

sly basalt
#

Cheers.

#

I will ask, is it a simple thing to do?

timber zenith
#

It's simple once you understand it

#

I'd say the curve is similar to learning to play hoi4 itself

#

Best way to ensure your sanity is to start of simple

sly basalt
#

Fair enough.

#

OK. I am going to make a mod using the options you laid out.

timber zenith
#

Good luck!

sly basalt
#

OK I do have some more questions.

#

How do I delete a mod I made?

#

For now, I want to delete this.

#

And remake it.

timber zenith
#

You can delete the files themselves

#

as in the whole folder, and the .mod file

sly basalt
#

OK. I'm launching in debug mode with my newly made mod.

timber zenith
#

Keep in mind, modified states get saved to the hoi4 folder in documents, rather than to the mod itself

#

You'll have to manually move them

sly basalt
#

That sounds needlessly complicated.

timber zenith
#

It's because you can have multiple mods enabled without it screwing up

sly basalt
#

It is what it is.

#

OK so you think that by watching those two videos, I'll be able to understand how to create an Israel, a Palestine, and have their de jure 2000 borders?

timber zenith
#

Possibly

#

They pretty much worked for me

sly basalt
#

If I can't from watching those two videos, do you know of a way I can cheat the process a bit?

#

Basically copying someone else's map?

timber zenith
#

I can probably boil down what he says for you if you want

sly basalt
#

Because I'm a very slow learner.

timber zenith
#

Okay i'll summarise with the shortcut

#

OK SO

sly basalt
#

It's kinda a last resort. I really just wanna focus on the focus tree stuff, not the map stuff.

timber zenith
#

ok fair enough lol

#

I'll let you know if you need it

#

the focus tree stuff tho, I can help with that

sly basalt
#

OK I might save those two videos and get right into the bit that I'm inspired to do.

timber zenith
#

Fair enough

sly basalt
#

I spent 5 hours drawing this, I wanna use it.

timber zenith
#

Easiest way to start off with focus trees is

#

Wait

#

I'll upload a "template"

sly basalt
#

Gnarly.

#

Also yeah, do you think you can super quickly summarise how to get Israel and Palestine's de jure 2000 borders?

timber zenith
#

That would be the whole province thing

sly basalt
#

Damn.

#

I tried to fork Millennium Dawn's map because it at least had a decent map but game crashed on launch.

timber zenith
#

That happens

sly basalt
#

Surely someone has uploaded a mod that's purely the map with everything else being vanilla KEKW

#

Anyway, while you help me out with a template, I'm going to watch the video.

timber zenith
#

possibly

sly basalt
#

Everything is simultaneously possible and impossible.

timber zenith
#

very true

sly basalt
#

OK next step time to uhhh...fucken...actually launch the game in debug mode KEKW

timber zenith
#

that's the easy part

sly basalt
#

When you're me, everything is the difficult part.

timber zenith
#

pretty much

sly basalt
#

IDK if you've noticed but I'm a damn slow learner.

earnest gull
#

i just watched a whole video from iron workshop on to how to make a ideology

#

it didnt work

#

so im just gonna work on my focus trees

timber zenith
earnest gull
#

btw hi guys

timber zenith
#

Hello

earnest gull
#

hi

sly basalt
#

You're destined for greatness.

timber zenith
#

I do my best ❤️

sly basalt
#

Thank you for leading me on my personal quest for vengeance.

timber zenith
#

Here is a simple template

sly basalt
#

It has been schlurped.

timber zenith
#

Also the wiki is your best friend

sly basalt
#

So, how do I actually implement this focus tree?

earnest gull
#

@timber zenith do you think i could make germany's name Nazi Germany

#

?

#

instead of german reich

sly basalt
timber zenith
earnest gull
#

k

timber zenith
#

create the folders if they don't exist

timber zenith
#

No worries

sly basalt
#

Does case matter?

timber zenith
#

I'm not sure, but err on the side of caution

sly basalt
#

Fair enough.

timber zenith
#

i'd keep it lower case

sly basalt
#

So if I wanted the focus tree you posted to be for Israel, I could call it "Israel_focus.txt" or just "Israel.txt"?

timber zenith
#

the name of the files themselves don't matter particularly

#

localisation is a different story though

sly basalt
#

I'm going to call it "Israel_focus.txt".

timber zenith
#

fair enough

sly basalt
#

OK I'm opening up Visual Studio.

timber zenith
#

Ooo i'd also recommend getting the hoi4 plugin

sly basalt
#

I saw on the Wiki that recommendation.

#

BTW, what language is HOI4 written in?

gritty cave
#

correct me if im wrong but a friend told me C++

#

but i dont remember very well

#

that convo was a long while ago

timber zenith
#

There isn't a language

#

it's just paradox jargon

sly basalt
#

Neat.

gritty cave
#

oh lol

#

wtf my flag is appearing upside down even tho the custom flag in the files isnt??

timber zenith
#

I've seen a similar issue before, but I got no idea

gritty cave
#

dang

#

ill just throw stuff at the wall and see if it sticks

timber zenith
gritty cave
#

ill try that

sly basalt
#

Oh son of a...

#

Visual Studio is going on about my licence.

timber zenith
#

rip

sly basalt
#

Hurray it worked.

#

OK.

earnest gull
#

@timber zenith

#

im making rn a focus but it doesnt work

timber zenith
#

wdym by that

earnest gull
#

wait lemme show screenshot

#

is there something wrong with it?

sly basalt
#

Time to download Visual Studio code bcause apparently it's different than Visual Studio.

timber zenith
earnest gull
#

wdym by that

#

like send you the file of the txt

#

i mean

#

the focus

#

the whole focuses

timber zenith
#

YEah txt file

#

You can upload it here

earnest gull
#

can i upload it into ur dms

timber zenith
#

If you want to

earnest gull
#

k

#

done sendedd

#

sended

timber zenith
#

@earnest gull You're missing a few closing brackets at the end there

earnest gull
#

how much

timber zenith
#

I dunno

earnest gull
#

i will try

timber zenith
earnest gull
#

im using sublime text

timber zenith
#

I'll be back in a sec

sly basalt
#

Hmmm...Visual Studio Code doesn't seem to want to open my .txt files.

timber zenith
#

try open your mod as a project

sly basalt
#

I'm insanely stupid but don't even remember how to open my folder as a project in VSC.

#

I did find my focus tree though.

earnest gull
timber zenith
#

that's for mr lobster

sly basalt
#

OK so I've downloaded the plugin and it's asking me to find my vanilla install.

#

Or at least, it was.

earnest gull
timber zenith
#

i'm getting something to eat i'll be back soon

sly basalt
#

All g, thanks for your help so far.

earnest gull
#

k

#

@timber zenith it works now

#

i dont need help

#

maybe for later

sly basalt
#

How do I reset my nudge tool? I did a silly and have been bozo'd.

#

Yeah IDK what happened but I think it didn't edit my mod...

#

OH GOD IT EDITED MY BASE GAME.

timber zenith
#

That is to be expected

sly basalt
#

I see now.

timber zenith
#

Your changes are saved in your documents/hoi4 folder

#

Not base game dw lol

sly basalt
#

Thing is.

#

I don't know which it is?

timber zenith
#

Wdym?

sly basalt
#

I'm in my HOI4 documents folder, can't tell which of these is my nudges.

timber zenith
#

Ok

#

Your nudges are history, localisation and map

#

The rest should be there

sly basalt
#

So assuming I want to do a big blank reset, I should delete the history, localisation and map folders?

timber zenith
#

Yeah

sly basalt
#

I think I might have to call quits on nudge tool for now.

#

Definitely gonna learn how to use it all, but I think I'd rather shortcut for now and then learn the details later.

#

For now I might make a super quick de mockup border.

abstract burrow
#

so everytime i thought i broke the nudge tool, and deleted all my good save files and reinstalled the game, it was saved in my documents

#

xD

sly basalt
#

IDK why it does that.

#

Anyway, I think for now I'm calling quits on making the states, would rather get into focus trees.

abstract burrow
#

lol

sly basalt
#

I'm looking at how to make provinces now.

abstract burrow
#

that has got to be one of the biggest ouches in the history of hoi4

#

my arch nemesis

sly basalt
#

I wanna add a province for West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights.

abstract burrow
#

are you making a custom map?

sly basalt
#

Reluctantly. I'm working on a modern day Israel focus tree and have been urged to learn how to make provinces and states first.

abstract burrow
#

gl with that

sly basalt
#

I wanna show those arrogant bastards at [REDACTED] that I can make a better mod than them KEKW

abstract burrow
#

i used to mod, im gonna make a retro themed mod soon, but until then, im gonna play hoi4 hehe

sly basalt
#

Don't wanna name names, but a certain mod's dev team are extremely arrogant and rude, as well as seemingly quite homophobic and anti-Semetic.

abstract burrow
#

i see

sly basalt
#

Anyway, time to make some provinces.

abstract burrow
#

ill see you back here in 5 mins

#

when you realise how much of a joke it is

sly basalt
#

I'm watching a video about making provinces and it seems kinda obnoxious.

#

Oh God. I just realised.

#

I think I now know how to just copy someone else.

#

I just want Millennium Dawn's provinces for Israel, Palestine and Golan Heights.

timber zenith
#

you can trace if you want

abstract burrow
#

never copy someone else

timber zenith
#

it's a bit dog tho

abstract burrow
#

@timber zenith i swear your always here xd

timber zenith
#

lmao

abstract burrow
#

tbh all my 400 + messages are in this chat

sly basalt
#

I mean no cap I have a personal grudge against Millennium Dawn's devs so I'm OK tracing one of the few things they've made well which is their Israel-Palestine-Syria map.

timber zenith
#

#

who wants to make a mod which is retro themed

#

timber zenith
#

wdym by that

I am braindead

gonna get a dev team

timber zenith
#

retro how tho

abstract burrow
#

1980s themed arcade

#

in america

sly basalt
#

Time to figure out how to trace.

abstract burrow
#

basically if you know the last of us, the whole world is a bit dodgy, im gonna make it dodgy, like sacrifice, slavery etc

sly basalt
#

In MS Paint.

abstract burrow
#

ewww

timber zenith
sly basalt
#

Does it help me trace these borders with better precision?

timber zenith
#

or borrow photoshop

#

layers help a lot

#

help tracing heaps

#

Excellent.

#

Nah.

#

Windows 10.

abstract burrow
#

who uses a mac

sly basalt
#

Mac users.

#

Wait.

#

I just had an idea.

#

Why do I even need to trace this?

#

Can't I just copy the provinces.bmp?

timber zenith
#

yeah

sly basalt
#

And is there anything else I would need to copy in order to assign these new provinces actual data?

timber zenith
#

definition.csv

sly basalt
#

And then I restart HOI4?

timber zenith
#

ye

sly basalt
#

Alright, let's see if that worked.

#

As I said, I have no qualms with for now taking Millennium Dawn's map stuff.

#

If I wanna get serious, then later I'll do my own stuff.

timber zenith
#

fair enough

sly basalt
#

I OPENED THE NUDGER. AND...KEKW

timber zenith
#

to be expected

sly basalt
#

IT GAVE MY MAP SMALLPOX.

abstract burrow
#

the heck happened

timber zenith
#

unassigned provinces

abstract burrow
#

i see

sly basalt
#

I'm actually laughing my head off right now.

#

OK. Let's go maybe one step further.

#

What else do I need to copy in order to assign these provinces? By doing this it'll just let me get straight into the thing I'm mostly here to do which is make an Israel focus tree.

timber zenith
#

history/states

sly basalt
#

Epic.

timber zenith
#

delete your existingstate chaanges

sly basalt
#

Luckily I haven't made any, so I should just be able to copy them over?

#

lmao iont mind

sly basalt
#

I'm going to copy over just the states sub-folder from the history folder. I am assuming right now that will not solve everything, but it will show me some stuff.

timber zenith
#

you'd have to start from scratch

#

i used to help people but i went into surgery, never came out the same, now im relearning most of it]

abstract burrow
#

idk how to do it

#

and iron workshops vids are too much of a waffle

timber zenith
#

wai

#

t

sly basalt
#

As I said, it'd be real cool if someone just uploaded a blank modern day map for everyone to use for free.

I am pretty much gonna try and slowly import more and more of Millennium Dawn's map data without taking any of their awful code with them.
