Hello, I just started modding and I'm trying to create new mod to change how we aproche politic and economy in HOI4 by using less focus and more event. I'm currently working on France (I'm french so... I have to defend the baguette...).

I' m having some issues to have Charles de Gaulle becoming a field marshal, I tried to find the effect online but couldn' t. If you guys could help me that would be great

[high hatch]

Hi. I tried to make a custom modifier states on peace treaty, but they seems not working (or maybe because I have a low score but for example, in Player Peace Conference, the state value it is 1 even with a low score). I am do with extreme value to check that.

yalta_intz = {
        category = treaties_or_conferences
        peace_action_type = { puppet }
        enable = {
            has_global_flag = yalta_agreed_flag
            ROOT = { has_country_flag = yalta_signatory_faction_leader }
            FROM = {
                tag = WGR
            }
            FROM.FROM.FROM = {
                has_state_flag = yalta_intz
                NOT = { 
                    OR = {
                        has_state_flag = yalta_pol
                        has_state_flag = yalta_soviet
                        has_state_flag = yalta_france
                        has_state_flag = yalta_denmark
                    }
                }
            }
            GER = {
                pc_is_loser = yes
            }
        }
        cost_multiplier = 0 # 0.5
    }

PS : The flag worked because I display it by show claim in question (in this example "Royaume d'Allemagne").

[vast meadow]

Where is file for nationalist uprisings during russian white civil war

[hot pike]

Why do you need mod for that? Its gonna release pretty soon irl.

[pale sparrow]

basically a cheat mod last time I checked, the AI considerations arent too complicated

[pale sparrow]

Play the game in debug mode, do that path, then see what event ID the uprisings are, you can backtrace from there

[obtuse condor]

[high hatch]

My bad. I was putting in common/cost_modifiers/yalta.txt instead common/peace_conferences/cost_modifiers/yalta.txt ^^'.

how to rename cities after being conquered

[lyric venture]

how do i make mods?

or in general i want to update mods for the current patch and play it myself

[hushed iron]

Pretty sure there's a mod for that

[vast meadow]

how to do it myself

[hushed iron]

Just involves having a database of place names and dynamically switching between names depending on the tag of the nation that occupies the province the place is in

That's my take on it anyway

I'm not a modding expert

[vast meadow]

i want someone to tell it step by step

where

how

[hushed iron]

You're asking the wrong guy, sorry

[timber zenith]

depends on the mod. You got any specific ones as an example?

[rocky drift]

[timber zenith]

It would take a truly impressive ammount of work to update endsieg

endsieg for 1.12 exists but its buggy as hell

or atleast one very annoying bug

[lyric venture]

what about making a mod that makes my country super op

like germany

[lofty plaza]

What even

[timber zenith]

You can add a bunch of modifiers in one idea that makes them op

[left thunder]

I'd like to request a mod to be made

Description: a mod that would make it so you can't tell the difference between AI and players and it doesn't tell you who's playing what nation it would all be a surprise

I feel a mod like this wouldn't bring a new life into small friend groups who play and into large servers because you don't know who your facing or even what your facing

Extras and possible features:
maybe also have an option for a nation randomizer so you can't actually choose what nation you play but obviously that would be a toggle option this would make it so you start off with a random nation so there's absolutely no possible way they can no who your playing

Maybe a future where the person who ether
↓
*Has the most research done
*Has the largest military
*Has captured the most land
↑
Would be displayed and everyone would know who they are but this would also be a toggle

@lofty plaza who would I ask to do something like that

[high hatch]

It is normal [THIS.GetOldAdjective] doesn't work. Even with [ROOT.GetOldAdjective] or [ROOT.GetAdjective] or $ROOTADJ$ (except it is void), it is the same result. In this example, should be replace by German (allemand).

[left thunder]

No it's not normal it's German

[high hatch]

Thank you. It is what I tried in my localisation 😅.
In case:

INTZ_subject:0 "Zone Internationale [THIS.GetOldAdjective] $OVERLORDADJ$"
INTZ_subject_DEF:0 "la Zone Internationale [THIS.GetOldAdjective] $OVERLORDADJ$"

[left thunder]

I'm just playing lol wasn't being serious

[high hatch]

Don't worries ^^'

[left thunder]

Honestly if I had to make a guess if the name it not changing I would assume it's because they probably have it so it can be multiple different things if that territory was to either be captured or something else was to happen to it maybe in like an unhistorical match I'd guess there's probably more than just one line controlling what the name actually is because it can probably be more than one thing

If that makes sense

[high hatch]

Okay, so when it is subject, $NONIDEOLOGYADJ$ worked, but not when it is independent.... Any idea to solve it?

[hot cliff]

is your shit on github or something? i can take a a look.

[high hatch]

Well first, don't know why you considered my work is a shit and second, they aren't in Github. Otherwise, just look the message above, put and a localisation and do a set_cosmetic_tag = INTZ.

[hot cliff]

sorry, dude. wasn't literally calling it shit, it's a figure of speech. meant to be translated as "are your belongings/things/stuffs/et cetera on github"? also, i didn't konw if INTZ was something you created or something in vanilla.

i have a mod pulled up in vs code right now, though.

[hot cliff]

tried to add you because i'm probably going to lose track of a conversation in this server, but it won't let me. shoot me a dm or ping me here when you get back around, i'll try to get your localization working.

[high hatch]

I think you want to mean then "sheet" instead "shit" ^^'.

[high hatch]

INTZ is a custom cosmetic tag I created. Vanilla game haven't one right now. It is many years they was planned but don't it Paradox ^^'.

[hot cliff]

that's why I wanted to see your files.

if the loc is right but it's not being called correctly, it won't work. it could be more than just the loc entry.

probably should send me a DM. this server is pretty low on my sidebar and I'm bouncing back and forth a lot.

i tried to send you one, but you weren't accepting friend requests or messages.

[high hatch]

It is the loc. Even with console to apply my custom tag, same problem ^^'. But in case, have 2 International Zone in same moment should be rare.

[left thunder]

No he didn't mean that I don't think but he didn't mean it in a mean way he meant it like you know when someone says (hey you got your stuff) or have you ever heard (hey you got the shit) he doesn't mean it an in offensive way it's more just a non fancy way of saying it if you get that

Sorry I don't know your native language and I understand that's probably not something they teach because shit is usually a offensive word

[hot cliff]

yeah, i looked at his profile after. saw the french flag. figured it was most likely a misunderstanding.

[hot cliff]

can you send me your mod folder? i'll take a look.

[high hatch]

I prefer update this minor fix after I update the major update on the workshop if isn't a problem.

[hot cliff]

your mod is on steam?

if so, link me.

the major update happening shouldn't matter. unless you're redoing that specific part of the mod, it won't really matter.

[high hatch]

Well a little because the custom cosmetic tag doesn't exist right now on the workshop ^^'.
Otherwise, will be here.

[hot cliff]

sigh..

why can't I just download the mod directly instead of this "subscribe" shit. lol

[pliant marlin]

Mod name pls

[lyric venture]

like how and what?

[timber zenith]

why would you want to download the mod directly

[hot cliff]

because I'm lazy and want to put it on my desktop so I don't have to go digging through steam's files.

[lyric venture]

that would kill ur laptop

[timber zenith]

An idea, there are modifiers you can add, find them here https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

[lyric venture]

like all the gb and shit

[lyric venture]

how do i add this?

[hot cliff]

what are you talking about?

[timber zenith]

Put a shortcut to the steam folder on your desktop

[hot cliff]

or just put it on my desktop.

[timber zenith]

or a shortcut to the mod file and set it's name to be the mod name

[hot cliff]

it's not staying.

lol

i'm not even opening it in HoI4.

i'm figuring out where his problem is, telling it to him, then deleting it.

[timber zenith]

You can download it from paradox plaza if you really want

ohhh it's specific lol

nvm

[hot cliff]

i already did.... but it would still be more convenient on my desktop.

yeah.

[timber zenith]

I didn't see ur convo before that one message lol

[hot cliff]

it happens.

[timber zenith]

my bad haha

[hot cliff]

i deal with way worse on a daily basis. lol

[timber zenith]

Create a mod, create a folder called common, then another folder called ideas inside that folder

I'll make an example if you of an idea if you want

[hot cliff]

make sure you do the loc. 😂

dun wanna come back 2 trubleshoot

[vestal gorge]

why do i keep getting this red error text?

[hot cliff]

remove the "mod"

[timber zenith]

and the /

[vestal gorge]

it wont let me remove it

[hot cliff]

yeah, that.

[timber zenith]

wait nah that's normal

You just need to put the mod name in there

the name you want the file to be

[hot cliff]

i didn't see the /. i kind of messed my TV up so I have my desktop display shifted and in a really weird resolution.

[vestal gorge]

i have the folder already in the mods folder. do i have to remove it?

[timber zenith]

If it doesn't have content sure

[vestal gorge]

same thing keeps happening 😦

[timber zenith]

Send a screenshot

[timber zenith]

You can use this file

that idea might be op

You might need to change the factors though

[timber zenith]

of the not working error I mean

[timber zenith]

You don't need to paste the whole path

just the folder/mod name

[vestal gorge]

...... i knew that.. was making sure you did.... jk. thanks

[timber zenith]

haha, no problem

[hushed iron]

That's a shame, bloody loved endsieg

[lyric venture]

yea pls

[timber zenith]

.

[lyric venture]

where do i make the folder? in my files?

[timber zenith]

Create a mod in the paradox launcher, go to all installed mods, upload mod, then click create mod

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyAD29lLwT4

This might help you

[lyric venture]

thx

[timber zenith]

No problem

[lyric venture]

say if i do this, like in what way can i make my country op?

[timber zenith]

Basically, you can modify everything hoi4 stores as a "modifier"

You can have zero consumer goods, massive buffs to attack and defense, increases in construction speed, gun production etc

[lyric venture]

like even more then the games cheats offer?

[queen raft]

What would you guys say is the best mod that’ll give focus trees to all countries that are missing?

[timber zenith]

Nah it's probably similar

[lyric venture]

then no point

what else can i do?

[timber zenith]

You might as well just get one of the cheat mods off the workshop

[lyric venture]

i have the game for xbox gamepass version

none are updated for my version of game

[timber zenith]

Ah yeah you probably wouldn't be able to mod much either

[lyric venture]

like all versions are behind

[lyric venture]

damn

[opaque abyss]

Does anyone know where HOI4 stores the files that lock the division designer?

Cause my text editor is being stupid as crap and cannot find any references to the LOC I need anywhere in the game.

Like it can't even find the file where it uses the Combat Width Loc

[pale sparrow]

The loc you should probably be able to find but if youre getting it from a vanilla menu that menu wont be accessible code

idk why but, some of the focuses are appearing even though i haven't made the Shine thing, but others aren't

[fervent cove]

i did 2, idk how, but i did, but still

even using the same code

one don't want to work properly

            animationtexturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/shine_overlay.dds"
            animationrotation = -90.0
            animationlooping = no
            animationtime = 0.75
            animationdelay = 0
            animationblendmode = "add"
            animationtype = "scrolling"
            animationrotationoffset = { x = 0.0 y = 0.0 }
            animationtexturescale = { x = 1.0 y = 1.0 }
        }
        animation = {
            animationmaskfile = "gfx/interface/goals/sov/SOV_purge_program.dds"
            animationtexturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/shine_overlay.tga"
            animationrotation = 90.0
            animationlooping = no

            animationdelay = 0
            animationblendmode = "add"

            animationrotationoffset = { x = 0.0 y = 0.0 }
            animationtexturescale = { x = 1.0 y = 1.0 }
        }
        legacy_lazy_load = no

Idk if theres the place for mod suggestions here but ill do it anyway if theres an place for that somewhere tell me.

German Civil War at around 1942/1943

So Basically an civil war at around the timeline ive already given. With either no or slight buffs cause otherwise it would be too hard i think. And there should be an option to go to war with just germany , germany and its allies or germany (and its allies) + everyone germany already was fighting

Would be quite cool. Thanks. and maybe dm me with the mod when done if somebody does it and i would appreciate if the civil war germany would be monarchist/unaligned with a decent or big focus tree and yes i expect a lot here but thats just my wish. I would do this myself if i was competent enough but i do not know how modding, coding , and the other stuff works. I thank again if you do this but obviously it is your decision if you wanna go through the pain of making and updating this mod. Thank you for reading this fully through.

[obtuse condor]

in the england one , we can see german soldier and there also spai-portugal united flag
in france crosshair make him ugly , hand look slike not good
only things what i like is hunter and big ben

[tired skiff]

imagine milenium dawn adds after 2020 gay pride and you have to decide iff you want gay people or not and iff you have too may gay people they take over and you play as the gay country

[upbeat scroll]

@high hatch A little question. Do you know how the "set.flag" work?

[obtuse condor]

does anyone know where is the localization for command power

like what file its in

the new german colonies

[toxic bane]

Very cool

Good work deme

[high hatch]

#modding message : I think yes.

[upbeat scroll]

can you teach a bit? at least some basics

[high hatch]

Well, you have only 3 things to know:

• They have set_type_flag, clr_type_flag, has_type_flag and modify_type_flag where it is respectively for set, clear, to check if type have the flag or modify a flag.
• They have in type country or state.
• You can set not only 0 and 1, and for a certain period, like this:

set_country_flag = {
    flag = my_country_flag
    value = 1
    days = 31
}

Hope it is helpful.

[patent vale]

Hi there, I tryed to install Kasierreich but now whenever I try to start HOI, it crashes. SO I want to uninstall it but the paradox launcher wont start. Is there a way of uninstalling Kasier without the Paradox launcher?

[upbeat scroll]

You download it by steam or paradox mods web?

[patent vale]

I downloaded it on Paradox

[upbeat scroll]

then delete the file directly, if deleting the file you downloaded doesn't work, try search on Documents/Paradox Interactive and see if it's there

[patent vale]

Thanks Ill try that now

[upbeat scroll]

I see.. But where i do creat that? In the same place/moment i need it? like in a focus tree conditions/award or history file...?
And the days it always have to settled? Can't be without a period?

[patent vale]

Yeah, thanks it seems to have worked

[upbeat scroll]

Great to hear it

[high hatch]

No, it is optional. The simple way it is set_country_flag = my_beautiful_flag_on_country.
You can put in history files, ideas, focus, option, decisions and effect.

[high hatch]

I update my mod. I will do tomorrow a more description and screenshots.
@hot cliff

[fervent cove]

anyone?

[twilit hatch]

I see

[timber zenith]

You need to include the _shine bit at the end of the name

Like GFX_purging_programs_shine in the name secition

[fervent cove]

oh shit right

i had it previously

but rly

i was trying to fix it for like, 2 hours or so

my brain was melting

[azure path]

Anyone know why the fixed all states independent mod got privated?

[pallid warren]

how to rename cities?

[high hatch]

Isn't possible to disable a specific event (not all events) by modding 🤔?
Edit: So, I use another method with flag so the event can't launch because they use the default flag ^^'.

[pallid warren]

I wish all my questions arent ignored

: (

[pallid warren]

is ok?

[mystic lava]

no

its awful

[jade mauve]

it do be like that, and the way you want to do it is with this code:
set_province_name = { id = [province ID] name = [new name] }

the new name can either be hardcoded, or you can use a namespace, you can define a namespace via the localisation files, an example would be this:

`l_english:
NEW_CITY_NAME: "my new city name"

set_province_name = {
id = 1
name = NEW_CITY_NAME
}`

the id being 1 is just an example

hope this helped

[jade mauve]

try searching for already existing focus trees to get inspiration, it is fine for a base focus tree, but if you want a more in depth tree you should make it more complex

[pale sparrow]

Not without overrind the entire file

[rose heath]

did you make this graphic using some kind of a program

why does it look so weird

[obtuse condor]

how do u make a mod?

i tried once and it crashed my pc

[upbeat scroll]

alright dude, i'll test it. Thanks dude

[upbeat scroll]

this would go in the state file?

[upbeat scroll]

it's not enough put in ### in the line where the event setup starts?

[pale sparrow]

No

Use a proper text editor, select the entire event and press ctrl+/ to comment it out

unless you mean where its triggered then yes

[upbeat scroll]

oohh okok, i get it

[jade mauve]

no, set_province_name should go under the effects of what you are trying to do, either an event, decision or focus

and the localisation of the name goes in a localisation file

country shapes?

Ah,there is a page, I recall it being called hoi4 search icon or smth, but if not you can just make them

[obtuse condor]

hello , wanna help you for gfx

[jade mauve]

Hmm, that specific one I guess it could be easy in Photoshop, Im guessing that you should take the shape of the country and fill it with a color, then duplicate it and make it a grey tone with the luminosity style on the layer types, select it, contract the selection and make a mask out of it, then feather the mask.
For the gradient and shadows just double click the colored shape and select shadow drop and gradient

Let me show an example

That I don't really know, I mostly use photoshop

Let me see

it could, but it would affect everything

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that adds kaiserreich occupation decisions to base game

[jade mauve]

this is what i did in paint with the tools i found, which is like, really bad, thats why i suggest finding a way of getting photoshop, or something at least more complete than paint

this is in photoshop

it takes less time and i think looks better

obviously its far from perfect

but i did it in like 5 minutes, so i guess with more time you can make it 100 times better

[high hatch]

Stupid question. It is possible to check if it is the host (not only is_ai = no) play a country?

[jade mauve]

Huh?

[upbeat scroll]

yes, but if i want it directly? i have to use nudge tool or an on_start action?

[jade mauve]

You could use an on_action file perhaps, or go to the localisation file of the cities and rename it there

[pale sparrow]

no

[hot jewel]

designed this smh

[modern swift]

hey

is there anyway to make nukes visable from when you zoom out

like i could zoom out to see the whole world while also seeing the nukes going off

[umbral hull]

Looking for a bit of help stablizing my Rt56 soviet run... anyone around toi give me some pointers? i feel i might be in some trouble once britian starts trying to beach...

[small fern]

yes, but it needs more national focuses

[pallid warren]

so where do i put it?

[timber cradle]

why does the earth show up in the background?

[jade mauve]

put it wherever you want the effect to take place

i cant tell you exactly where since i dont know what you want to do

[pallid warren]

so can i put it in the history state folder?

[jade mauve]

no, the history state is for defining details like the id, buildings etc

you want it to start the game with the name changed already?

[pallid warren]

ye

[jade mauve]

then change the localisation files for the provinces

the file should be named something like provinces_names_l_english.yml or something similar

[pallid warren]

so i put all the codes you gave me in the localisation file yes?

[jade mauve]

no

the codes were if you wanted to change the names mid-game

[pallid warren]

ahhh i see

[jade mauve]

in this case, you should be able to find a game file with all the named cities, with their respective id's, so for example: if you wanted to change the city of washington, you should find the id it has and then replace the name washington with something else

[fickle summit]

Hello guys, i want to make a new map but idk how to do this, please can someone show me

does anyone know a good mod for napoleonic times?

[whole badger]

how do u make a faction

[jade mauve]

create_faction = "MY_FACTION"

[whole badger]

No like a premade one for a mod

[jade mauve]

what do you mean by premade?

[whole badger]

like i dont have to use a console command it just exists

like the third internationale in kaiserreich

[jade mauve]

you're in the modding channel...

we dont use commands here

thats code

not a command

[whole badger]

would i write that in the common file

[jade mauve]

history files

countries

and the country you're modding

[whole badger]

Ok bet

[obtuse condor]

is there a tool for editing states for my mod quickly

[jade mauve]

you can use the nudge tool

[obtuse condor]

idk how to use it though

[willow smelt]

I un-subbed from my Great War Redux mod to turn it off

But when I resubbed, it didn't turn back on

[whole badger]

How would yall make the year 2162

Ik old world blues has the time changed but is it complex

[wanton fern]

Does anyone have an american civil war mod

[toxic bane]

Is it in in your playset?

[willow smelt]

What's that?

[broken kite]

hey guys quick question

do you guys know any other mods beyond the big mainstream ones?

ive tried all the big ones and i wanna know if there is anything new

already did the mlp one, tno, pax britannica, kairechec (both version) red flood and millenium dawn

recent thing i tried was the demo of extremis ultimis

[pale sparrow]

R-road to 56? 🥺

those ones are mainstream

[brisk turtle]

Haha you're not mainstream/j

[safe fog]

what about them old world blues

?

its a good mod

its based on fallout

[shell ginkgo]

Europe in flames

[obtuse condor]

I wanna get into modding but have zero idea of where to start

[jade mauve]

look up tutorials on youtube and read the modding wiki

that could be a good start

also, try starting with something simple

[keen venture]

Endsieg doesnt work

pls help

[proper acorn]

Guys how to add news techs in my mod?

[toxic bane]

When you are in the thing interface where you can press play press playsets over at det left

[celest dock]

i have this issue where when i try to create a new state within an existing state it just plops back into the bordering state instead of creating an actual new one

[whole badger]

where woudl the bookmark be

so you'd make a folder in common

@obtuse condor which should i copy over

Ok another thing so i wanted to delete all countires so i went to localisation, deleted everything except the countries I want and i went to country tags and deleted everything

but now my country thats left has no name ?

yeah idk how to fix this one

is there any way to keep it like it is right now but have its name

im not sure exactly what i did wrong

ill maybe put another country in, im not sure

so what would i type in the bookmark file

[willow smelt]

What is the interface?

[whole badger]

i dont think the tags are wrong here

[toxic bane]

When you open the game you get into like a launcher thingy

[whole badger]

It worked

now i just gotta figure out why the name is blank

[craggy lark]

Hi, guys how can I started the war I moved my army on the country but the army not move in the country !

[twilit hatch]

Which one is better

[obtuse condor]

darker one

and i like it

[twilit hatch]

[obtuse condor]

but go and learn how to make assets

not use permade assets

[twilit hatch]

[twilit hatch]

tmi) i dont have a photohshop

so i cant

[obtuse condor]

Np you can do it with paint.net

[twilit hatch]

rly

[whole badger]

none of my countries have any names

this happened after i deleted everything except these countries on localisation and country tags

is there something i deleted that was important

[obtuse condor]

go in localisation english > countries

[whole badger]

this is my country tags

[obtuse condor]

is not enough

go in localisation

any language

and countries

oh...

impossiboll then

[whole badger]

Yeah im not sure what happened

[obtuse condor]

yes , i can learn you how you can do that

[whole badger]

im confused asf

what did i delete 💀

[obtuse condor]

check the errors

[whole badger]

theres no errors that showed up

[obtuse condor]

check everthing about that , if you see any mistake tell me and i tell you how you fix that

[whole badger]

how do i find errors

nothing like showed up or appeared

[obtuse condor]

i mean country name

[whole badger]

ok so i checked the error

its like 10,000 words long

[twilit hatch]

but asset guides are all Photoshop versions

not?

🫡

[obtuse condor]

i can tell you paint.net version

[twilit hatch]

i see

let me try

umm

is this right

[twilit hatch]

🫡

[sly lagoon]

Is it possible to make unique unit models become generic? Like every nation can use Germany's infantry model as one of their unit model?

[whole badger]

how would i set a manpower law for a country to be extensive conscription

[toxic bane]

History

[summer lotus]

add_ideas = extensive_conscription

maybe

[whole badger]

that worked

[whole badger]

do you know how to add partial mobilziaiton to this

i added another line of add_ideas and it didnt work

[whole badger]

If u want both extensive conscription and Mobil what would u do

Use brackets ?

[whole badger]

@obtuse condor u know how to make factions and add others to them

Thanks

And u do the bracket thing if u want to add multiple right

Alright

[upbeat scroll]

@obtuse condor you also know how to make GFX?

Because if i can ask either for assets or an icon, or straight to if you can explain hot to get the assets

For example the hands shake of "goal_improve_relations" or the war propaganda (the sirens one) i don't remeber what it's, i remembaer was in the old USA focus tree

Or you know how to make portraits for leader, general, etc?

alright

remove.bg is a web page? The outline is for PS?

Ahhh. yeah, this was my doubt

thanks

okok

[errant creek]

Does anybody know a mod that makes it so i can add a demagogue of any ideology without completing a focus with any country?

[sly lagoon]

What do you mean demagogue? Like you want to add a new political advisor?

[upbeat scroll]

This modifiers can be setup to variables? Or i'll have to make like the sisu or great depression idea ones? (idea_1, idea_2, etc)

[umbral grove]

yall know any niche alt history mods i could try that wouldnt be janky as shit

or at least semiplayable

i already know basically all the big ones but if theres any hidden gems yall know I NEED ITT

[errant creek]

yes

a new advisor

like basic ones that countries without focus trees get

but on majors

that require focuses to unlock the advisor

[sly lagoon]

I don't know what you mean by without focus tree. But you can add a new advisor in common/character and define a character with a trait that influences ideologies

[sly lagoon]

Just in case you don't know, when you creating a new character, you need the country to "recruit" them in order for them to be usable.

recruit means it needs to be define in country history file

[sly lagoon]

Is it possible to add more infantry models as generic models? Like creating a new entity that uses German infantry model mesh and makes every country allow to choose to use that model?

[pallid warren]

bro use the country creator modding tool

search it up

its very good

[whole badger]

I fixed it

I did it all by hand I just mistyped the color in country tags

[dreamy matrix]

I am making a mod about Prussia was not win and either not fail in 1870 and Germany win the Great war.If u want to make the mod with me together or just help me,u can dm me :3 and there is a leak(Im bad at making a leak) about what we are doing.

[valid halo]

Why does Germany exist

[vocal kraken]

how does germany even exist tho

[fleet igloo]

How do I remove a puppet using a focus (Without TFV)

[blissful elbow]

I’m pretty sure the only way is to flip ideology

For example I got the achievement “cut the strings” as India without together for victory by changing ideologies and starting a civil war

I’d get TFV though if I were you, it adds a lot of core mechanics and you can probably get it for cheap during the steam summer sale

[pale bridge]

how does germany exist if it lost in 1870

[marble island]

Anyone know if the Converter from Vi2 has gotten a 1.13 update?

[fleet igloo]

Well that sucks

[upbeat scroll]

Like soviet red army national spirit or iceland economy national spirit

[dreamy matrix]

it is not lose

just not win

[dark yew]

are there any worshop mods that still work to remove navy ports and stuff?

[hoary shuttle]

[fervent cove]

Someone knows how to do it?

[fervent cove]

@lofty plaza Btw, found the name, it's a Category, i'm asking if i'm able to make two categories of advisors

Other thing is, if not possible to do two categories of the same, how can i make different types of advisors?

like how darkest hour mod did, yk?

[fervent cove]

(i figured out a way)

[obtuse condor]

Nicee by austria

Why does galicia hungary and illyria independent if bohemia not?

[dreamy matrix]

hmmm actually idk.my gf decide it

[naive mantle]

im in a bit of a pickle, i want to make changes to the treaty of craiova, so I copied the bulgarian event file and made changes, but when testing it ingame the bulgarian events just dont work?

red bit is the only thing ive changed

just realised theres already a BUL bracket so ill try merging them

ok that fixed it lol

[dreamy matrix]

:3

[naive mantle]

im having some problems getting an event to fire
i have this trigger that germany must be fascist, at war with yugoslavia, and controls the croatia province. but when all the triggers are met, the event dosent fire

the triggers are working shown in this screenshot from the console, but idk how to get it to fire

ok i reloaded the game and it worked

ok now its not working again

nvm

it seems to be random?

is there a way to make it fire instantly every time?

and is there a way to release a puppet from occupied land nicely? at the moment im doing this, but it gives croatia control of the whole state and it messes up the frontline

[obtuse condor]

Hello everyone , i start working for my mod named imperialism wars

[obtuse condor]

Really wish modders could make money in hoi4

[naive mantle]

sorted this out btw

[timber zenith]

Donations are basically the only way

Or loaning out your skills, if they are actually worth money

[obtuse condor]

Not only way the only way paradox chooses to use

They could do something like roblox were the modders get money but no

[timber zenith]

Roblox has ads and in app purchases

[obtuse condor]

There worth it to the hoi4 communist but pretty much nobody else I think

[timber zenith]

And is more user oriented

[obtuse condor]

So add adds

Idc as long as the mods are better and there is more

[timber zenith]

To a paid game? There would be riots in the streets 💀

[obtuse condor]

Yes

Well then just give the devs like 10 cents per person who download the mod or something

[timber zenith]

I would rather not get paid if it meant I wouldn't have to stare at ads while making mods

[obtuse condor]

Yes but I’m sure there is other methods so y’all can get some cash

[timber zenith]

One of the big modders for stellaris put early access to an update behind a patron paywall, there was extreme backlash from the community, especially because it was against pdx ToS

[obtuse condor]

Wait so modders try to make money get backslash from the community and it’s against TOS?

Like literally you can’t make money

Cuz the community and paradox will duck you in the ass

[timber zenith]

Because you're then profiting off the infrastructure built by paradox

Modding isn't real coding

[obtuse condor]

Yes but your the one doing all the work to make the mod

[obtuse condor]

No but is still 100s of hours of work

[dim vessel]

how muich of vanilla shold i play before trying some mods out? I still ffeel i have barley scratched the surfcace of the main game but mods seem fun to. Like kaisserich or TNO.

[nocturne coyote]

road to 56

game keeps like vanilla but u actually got something to do

so it dosent change that much

[dim vessel]

i have heard/Feel it seems like it gets kinda bloated or insane/Unbalanced thought

[nocturne coyote]

i mean, some focus trees are op but most are balanced

[dim vessel]

well that happens in base game to to be fair

but yeah road to 56 seems cool to

[solid frigate]

nice

your gf made wrong choices

[short vault]

Evening, does anyone know the name of the define which defines the organisation loss when manually ordering a fleet to move? Thanks. 👍🏻 never mind, of course I first fail to find it for 20 mins and then find it in 5 mins after I ask 😅

[obtuse condor]

create_faction = defenders_in_middle_of_europe
add_to_faction = GER
add_to_faction = BEL
add_to_faction = SWI
add_to_faction = DEN
add_to_faction = PRE
add_to_faction = SAX
add_to_faction = DEN
add_to_faction = POL

THE FACTION IS TOO BIG

[brisk turtle]

Why are there 2 DENs? Wouldnt that confuse the game?

[obtuse condor]

my bad , no

[brisk turtle]

I dont actually know anything about HOI4 modding (i usually just lurk) but i know that computers that are given the same piece of information (DEN) arent going to treat it like 2 different pieces of data (unless specifically designed to)

[dim vessel]

btw how do mods interact with dlc and stuff?

[twilit arch]

rate?

[naive mantle]

so good

how did you do that?

[lofty plaza]

Pretty good dude

Good job

[upbeat scroll]

@obtuse condor do you have the assets?

[random robin]

Some of my Latvian focuses

How these look?

[twilit arch]

the last guy looks out of place to yellow

other than than the last two's colors being a bit weird they look good

[grim egret]

Does this work?

[rocky badger]

Its so good but the hands look a bit wierd

[grim egret]

Is this better?

[pale sparrow]

8/10, the edges look a bit scuffed in some places

[upbeat scroll]

Alrigth. Dont worry

[lofty plaza]

Could do with a bit more shadow on the edges but pretty good

[obtuse condor]

I have a France Rework idea that incorporates the Balance of power Mechanic and makes their tree better organized and larger

2 Democratic paths

At lest 3 communism paths planned

3 Fascist paths planned

And 3 monarchy paths

• a revamped Vichy and Free France

In short more 35 day focuses

And I would have it where once you have enough non aligned support you choose your monarch similar to Poland

As the Bourbons you could support the carlists or you could support Franco and then undermine him

And you would get claims on any country that had a bourbon monarch ruling it: IE Mexico, Quebec, and Brazil

• Spain and its former colonies

Bourbon path had so much potential

Such a shame it got downsized

To just Spain

[obtuse condor]

[lavish monolith]

is there a mod that adds special forces for desert and jungle?

[twilit arch]

How can i improve the first 2?

Maybe like a slight bevel and imposs

[twilit arch]

R56 does

[fervent cove]

Can someone help me on how can i make advisor portraits? like, not the art, but how can i put my image in the portrait

[vestal gorge]

say i wanted to halt army navy and air force reserch at like 1939 or 1940.. what would i need to edit?

🥺

[naive mantle]

how do i get it to show the effects of the idea?

like what spiritual mobilisation does

[wintry raptor]

hey guys, not particularly related to modding but i needed some help identifying a font.

more specifically this font which is on the top of the game map

i've been trying to look for it online but it seems that there's always some slight curvature mistakes with some letters being more wavy than the one in game, the H being more skinny than ingame, etc.

[dim vessel]

trying out kaiserich and its really fun/Cool so far but damm there are a lot of wars going on quite fast. no way to keep track lol

[fossil grail]

guess the mod1!

[lost radish]

Are the iron workshop modding tutorials out of date? I thought they were

[pale sparrow]

Most stuff has stayed the same over the years

[pale sparrow]

It should automatically

[naive mantle]

this is what ive got

[pale sparrow]

Otherwise theres show_ideas_tooltip

[pale sparrow]

Wrong syntax

[naive mantle]

oh

[pale sparrow]

Read the wiki

[naive mantle]

ohh i see it

thats better

thanks

[jade mauve]

in the first 2, the ideology images look a bit flat, and the shadow of the knife does not sync with the hand, perhap fixing that could help,

on the second one i see the edges as a bit too soft, you could try to enhance them and maybe put a bit of glow on some parts to immitate the highlights of the vanilla icons

[prisma marten]

Why is it not showing the line

Nvm I already figured it out

How do you add party popularity in a focus

[slender brook]

Check out the Effects page on the HOI4 wiki

It’s along the lines of add_party_popularity = { INFO }

[prisma marten]

Alright

[prisma marten]

I can't find it

Nevermind

I found it

[obtuse condor]

meme focus icon

[obtuse condor]

Omg

[vague ruin]

Even if is meme, looks incredible tbh

[toxic bane]

😂nice

[glass sentinel]

[glass sentinel]

Why when i create a mod, in my files the descriptor doesn't appear as notepad++ or VS code

[obtuse condor]

[vestal gorge]

anyone know if research can be stopped at 1940?

[cerulean panther]

What code does Hoi4 run off? I want to try make my own little mod

[pale sparrow]

proprietary pseudocode

[pale sparrow]

~~@vale yarrow ~~

[jovial jay]

you guys know any good air mod for hoi4?

[cerulean panther]

Is that difficult?

[modern solstice]

yo how to change mod directory

[ashen bronze]

opinions

[pale sparrow]

no

[pale sparrow]

i think youve overcoocked him

[dreamy tundra]

depends on the vibe of your mod

if its a goofy mod, sure

if its a serious mod, maybe a bit to overcoocked

[ashen bronze]

same as this

[modern solstice]

ayo

[ashen bronze]

and this

[ashen bronze]

you cant

[modern solstice]

why

bruh

[obtuse condor]

Oml im using an ai generator to make hoi4 portraits and they’re actually good

[fickle niche]

its easy

its not real code its just something paradox created for hoi4

[cerulean panther]

What does it look like?

[pale sparrow]

which one

Ive seen one online that only works well for famous people

[jade mauve]

he looks silly, good

[obtuse condor]

Canvas

I took the portrait for Arleigh Burke and used it as a control, and then added different prompts (hair color, uniform, etc) but most importantly, i said hearts of iron iv portrait

the results were better than i was expecting

and they only take like 20 seconds

[obtuse condor]

oml i just generated the best one

[pale sparrow]

canva.com?

[obtuse condor]

yeah lemme check

https://playground.com/canvas

did that link work

i just copied the url im using

hmm this problem is back

i probably deleted the file

were i fixed this event

[obtuse condor]

the best part is that if you find one that you like, you can make that thew new control

and the new generations will be modeled after that one

its like drawinan natural selection

i love it

[obtuse condor]

"bengal famine event" 5 eastern indian states get -1 infrastructure -1 civ and india gets -100k manpower

[novel belfry]

I haven't modded in a sec I transferred some provinces from 1 state to another in different strategic regions and I did switch out the provinces in the strategic regions too but I still get an error did 1 of the dlcs add some other requirement that I'm getting an error

[naive mantle]

what i would do is get the id of the province, and just manually move it in the strategic regions files

is not that hard, you just search for the number then delete it, then add it in the other one

sometimes nudge can be a bit weird

like its messed up my localisation file heaps, so i just change that manually

[quartz reef]

Can someone PLEASE make a mod where in peace conferences you can choose to take a certain tile so you can have more advanced borders

[slender brook]

That’s not possible

[quartz reef]

Why

[slender brook]

It’s something that just can’t exist with how the game is coded

HOI4 just does not support splitting states up like the way you are asking

The closest thing you can get are mods that add more states instead

[quartz reef]

Nah trust

[obtuse condor]

new ideologies icons in my mod

[novel belfry]

That is what I did I didn't use nudge

[naive mantle]

oh

strange

[novel belfry]

how do I check the error log again?

[novel belfry]

ok I took a closer look and the one on the right transfers just fine but the two provinces on the left crash the game I assume it's something to do with the railways but idk

[timber zenith]

Documents/pdx/hoi4/logs/error.log

[timber zenith]

In the nudge tool, go to states and find collisions

Railways won't crash the game, even if they aren't connected

[novel belfry]

what does this do? I've never used nudge seriously

[timber zenith]

If there are any province collisions, you can use it to fix stuff. Nudge tool is amazing btw I almost always use it when modding

[novel belfry]

I personally don't like it cuz half the time it crashes when you try to save

[timber zenith]

If clicking find collisions does nothing, check the strategic regions tab to see if it looks right

[timber zenith]

Ohh yeah.. I have that bug too.

When you create or modify states right?

[novel belfry]

yea

it's not even a bug it's just paradox's ancient engine

[timber zenith]

What's causing it is a random state file, typically one of the new states you've added

One of those files just... Won't work. It will look fine on the inside, but somehow shits the bed

If you figure out which state file is causing that, delete it and replace the corresponding state number with a different (already existing) state and it should make nudge work

If it breaks again it is usually that same state number that is causing it

[novel belfry]

well the strategic region now works

but the provinces refuse to transfer

[timber zenith]

If it crashes while doing that the changes are still saved in documents/pdx/hoi4/

[novel belfry]

nope

still won't launch

[12:49:31][no_game_date][texturehandler.cpp:160]: Texture Handler encountered missing texture file: Dio_Brando.dds
[12:49:31][no_game_date][texturehandler.cpp:216]: Couldn't find texture file: 'Dio_Brando.dds'

i can't tell what i'm doing wrong

[novel belfry]

did you write the pathname?

[rose heath]

when the guy in the tutorial does it he just writes "spongebob.dds" after the picture thing
characters={
DIO_dio_brando={
name="Dio Brando"
portraits={
civilian={
large="Dio_Brando.dds"
create_country_leader = {
name = "Dio Brando"
desc = ""
picture = "Dio_Brando.dds"
ideology = fascism_ideology
traits = {
#
}
}

i'd assume that would work

[novel belfry]

and how old is the video?

[rose heath]

3 years

but that's the best tutorial avalible

i should write the path then right

[novel belfry]

yup

[obtuse condor]

ideology icons

[rose heath]

cool

[novel belfry]

authoritarian democrat

that sounds like 2 polar opposite ideologies

[obtuse condor]

anyway , can someone tell me most importan error which one make my mod to crashed all time?

[wintry raptor]

does anyone know what font this uses?

it's at the top of the HOI4 map and i've gotten real close to cracking what it is but theres always some slight deformities within each one

[rose heath]

i still can't figure out why is my texture missing
the guy in the tutorial changed something in these settings but my version of paint.net looks different

idk what should i set the portraits to

wait hold on one of the options has the same setting but in () things

i'll try that

still doesn't find it, well i have to keep looking

[rose heath]

CIA paying hearts of iron to show keep showing me
[13:51:47][no_game_date][texturehandler.cpp:160]: Texture Handler encountered missing texture file: GFX_portrait_DIO_dio_brando.dds
[13:51:47][no_game_date][texturehandler.cpp:216]: Couldn't find texture file: 'GFX_portrait_DIO_dio_brando.dds'
no matter what i do

[hoary shuttle]

Muy interesante

[rose heath]

yupiee i get no error now but still i don't get the portrait i wanted

i literally got a different default portrait

idk if that's progress or not

[novel belfry]

there's 2 possibilities

ok I can't say swear words

that's crazy

anyways

[rose heath]

it works

[novel belfry]

oh great

[rose heath]

tfw getting a stupid portrait to work took me well over 2 hours

[obtuse condor]

Yo why are my country flags and leader portaits not showing up in game

The flag is blank and the leader is some default portrait

This is my first time tryna mod so

Im lost

The borders and states and name, party pop, etc, are all good but not the leader and flag

I think its cus i used gimp, but i cant get paint.net bc it required admin password and i dont have that on this pc rn

Any ideas?

[novel belfry]

how big are the flag sizes

[late wagon]

i once a long time ago played a mod which was modern day, had no focus trees and was event based, i remember it clearly because there was a country named "mount athos" and it was set 2018 i thing, i've searched for it for a long time now but i just can't find it

anybody know what i mean

[quick pivot]

what date system is used in character modding in "expire: " line

is it year month day or year day month

[novel belfry]

month day

[quick pivot]

thanks

[obtuse condor]

I just dropped the flag over a directly copied flag, resized it

[novel belfry]

and is it tga?

and not compressed

[obtuse condor]

I heard abt the compressed thing, and idk where to check if it is or isnt

[obtuse condor]

It is tga

[obtuse condor]

Where is that in gimp

[obtuse condor]

^

[novel belfry]

gimp? no idea

I heard gimp terrible for all gfxs anyway

[obtuse condor]

Uggghhgg time to find this admin password

[late wagon]

how do i begin coding, anybody got tips

[quick pivot]

is there a way to create a single flag file and use it for every ideology

i saw that in some mods they have flag files not based on ideology

but idk how to do it myself

[novel belfry]

literally just put that flag with no ideology tag

basically just "GER.tga"

and done

[pale sparrow]

For HOI?

[pale sparrow]

Idk why anyone would say that

[late wagon]

ye

lucky guy... lucky guy

[pale sparrow]

Yeh I wish it was true

[pale sparrow]

You can check the wiki, read existing mods, start with simple mods, watch an ironworkshop video

[novel belfry]

From what I've heard they all complain bout exporting and compression

[pale sparrow]

Ive never heard of it being an issue if you know where/what the settings are

[novel belfry]

No idea I don't make gfx so I can't speak on this personally

But this was a while ago maybe like man the guns

Maybe things have changed

[rose heath]

are there backgrounds of the national spirits and national focuses avalible somewhere

like the circles and shields and some other shapes and stuff

but without the object in the front

[novel belfry]

there used to be a gfxkit with all the assets

idk if it exists anymore

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

[short vault]

I have found 2 defines which may reduce AI strategic redeployments.
Both shown values have been multiplied by 100. Second one is not that clear however so I'm not sure if I should be increasing or decreasing that one...

Although, probably safer to go with 1,000 to ensure they don't do it intercontinentally either.

Would appreciate a pointer if you know 😄

[obtuse condor]

I apologize in advance

I HAVE FIXED THE MOD LMAO

[obtuse condor]

Good ways to make custom focus trees?

Like websites, etc

[celest dock]

how do i add a compliance requirement in order to do a focus

[timber zenith]

Don't use websites. Making them yourself is the best and only proper way to do it

[timber zenith]

Compliance in a specific state?
compliance > 70

In every state?
all_owned_state = { compliance > 70 }

[celest dock]

yeah i found it

the country is only one state ;p

[timber zenith]

That makes it easier

[celest dock]

    id = therightfulruler
    icon = GFX_goal_goal_generic_forceful_treaty
    ai_will_do = { factor = 10 }
    x = 3
    y = 5
    mutually_exclusive = { }
    prerequisite = { focus = demandkingdomofthrain }
    cost = 10
     available_if_capitulated = no
    available = {
    compliance = 70 }
    completion_reward = { add_state_core = 141 }
}```

it's this right now

[timber zenith]

You'll have to use > instead of =

[celest dock]

i am running into a different thing i haven't solved yet though

[celest dock]

it worked, but will do

[timber zenith]

= means it will only let you do the focus if compliance is exactly 70

[celest dock]

oh

i have another focus where i want them only be able to do it if they have more than 50% support for the democratic (cooperative) idealogy

any idea how i would do that?

site suggest this but don't get much wiser of it

[timber zenith]

You can do democratic > 0.5

[celest dock]

works thanks

[timber zenith]

No problem

[honest oracle]

Hello, I have not used many mods before, so I don't know many mods. I was wondering what the best mod for a Swiss focus tree is?

[kind crypt]

does anyone know how to win the second red river war as texas on north america divided mod

[nimble solar]

Probably have good divisions and air support

[kind crypt]

i found out i had to either beat them and keep the war going or i can just not fight im trying to go facists

[nimble solar]

Idk the mod all that well

[kind crypt]

me neither i started today

[nimble solar]

I had fun as alf landon with it though lol

Also you are playing with a currently outdated mod?

[wintry raptor]

does anyone know what the font in this image is? i've been getting close to the font but there's always been slight changes with the fonts i found online so it isn't 100% perfect.

[kind crypt]

i played the one that showed up when i googled it and it sent me to steam

[rose heath]

i should make a mod that adds reichskommissariat israel

[tranquil idol]

Wingdings

[rose heath]

is there a way to make a national spirit that will lower the opinion of a country

i'm making a custom fascist country but i want it to have beef with germany

and as of right now, it can join the axis right away

i may just make it so it has its own faction from the start, but then the player will be able to just leave it, and join the axis anyway

[late wagon]

modding looks so easy 😭

[rose heath]

ok making it have its own faction turns it into a major which automatically antagonizes all other majors like germany

so problem solved

ok this may be kind of a sin but AI is so good at creating backgrounds for focuses/national spirits

you can easily remove the background using another AI tool, resize it, and done

[late wagon]

i mean, AI is fine to use
