[timber zenith]

You'd need about as much modding knowledge as you would if making a regular mod

[obtuse condor]

Okay

[timber zenith]

I'd recommend looking through the paradox modding wiki, as well as modding tutorials by the iron workshop on YouTube if you're interested

[obtuse condor]

I will this is the bottom of my list of project rn tho

[ionic mango]

Hey 👋
I'm making a little mod, and I want to reset all the map (countries, states etc..), but I don't really know how to di it.
Also, I created a new timeline (bookmark), and I want to only make the changes in this timeline (if it's possible).

Please, if you have ideas, tell me, it would be helpful

My only solution is to create a whole new map, which takes time but I know how to do it.

[timber zenith]

You can delete all the states in the state folder (if you have that in your mod) and create a line in both descriptor files stating
replace_path = "history/states"

[ionic mango]

so, if I understand correctly, I just need to wirte "replace_path = "history/states" in the descriptor file, ans that's it ?

[timber zenith]

In both of them. The one in your mod folder, and the one inside the folder called "mod" (the one just outside your mod)

It would be called yourmodname.mod

Iirc

[ionic mango]

oh yeah, I see

thanks for the help

[timber zenith]

No worries.

You might have to have at least a couple states and a couple tags on the map for it to load properly

[ionic mango]

ok

I will see if it works

[ionic mango]

It worked for a bit, I was able to ad some states, but then, the game started crashing because of certain provinces overwriting other strategic regions (and some were written twice, so I fixed it all manually, took me 1 hour 💀), but now, it's stilling crashing and I don't know why.

Here's my crash log:

oh, maybe because there's no people living in some states

[rose heath]

when you see how much code is responsible for demanding a state and you just decide that your focus will simply give you an annex war goal

it's my first focus tree mod i'm not dealing with that

[timber zenith]

Your error log is rediculously long, you need to work on fixing those errors

And when is it crashing?

Are you able to get to the main menu, or is it crashing on the first loading screen

[ionic mango]

the first loading

[timber zenith]

Are you launching the mod in debug mode?

[ionic mango]

but I think I will remake a new file for my mod, and then I will be more careful

[ionic mango]

yes

[timber zenith]

Idk how you have so many random errors, but you should prolly fix them

[ionic mango]

I know

but everytime, there're errors about vanilla game stuff that mostly don't make the game crash, and sometimes, there're errors about some "ugc_xxxxxxxxxxxxx.mod"

usually, it still work, I think I just messed up in some files or something like that, so I will try to be more careful

[west shoal]

Hey folks! I just released my first mod on the Steam Workshop called Autokrat. The German Empire and Austria-Hungary are still around, fascism is replaced with absolute monarchism, some focus tree tweaks, etc. If anyone wants to try it out and offer any helpful feedback, I’d be very appreciative! Thanks and happy holidays!

The mod is pretty much cosmetic except that it combines the fascism and monarchism sub-branches in some Axis focus trees

[obtuse condor]

I got banned from the discord lol

Idk why

Does someone knows how can I create a state with all land provinces of the game ? (And please, I don't want to click manually on all land provinces in the nudge tool)

[obtuse condor]

In which interface file should portraits be written for advisers/military ministers?

[lofty plaza]

ideas

[ionic mango]

I already tried it, but it crashed (maybe because all the provinces of the game include sea provinces, add the sea can't have states)

[ionic mango]

I meaned except that

ok

[18:48:08][no_game_date][map.cpp:1907]: Bitmap and province definition disagree on whether or not province 12816 is coastal. Bitmap adjacency result will be prefered.
how do i fix it

?

[leaden iron]

If it's by the sea, put true

if not, put false

because if it's by the sea and not "true" for coastal, it will say "Bitmap and province definition disagree"

and if it's not by the sea and has "true" for coastal, it will say "Bitmap and province definition disagree"

[twilit arch]

Thanks but what file is that?

Does any of you nice people know where can i find a National Spirit image containing Panther tank?

tfw ai completely ignores ai_will_do factor and does the factor = 1 focus instead of the factor = 12

it's like the ai is completely ignoring the modded focuses

oh my god the ai did the right focus

now let's see if this continues

if himmler does air innovations again i will actually kill him

[pale sparrow]

What text editor do you use

[pale sparrow]

under the hood they actually use the normal system, I assume they use an overlay over the normal ideology viewer

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56 can do that

Hi I'm trying to make a full rework of the Italian focus tree for the Cold War mod making it a submod I've set the addiction but how can I overload the existing focus to the new one?

I don't understand why the launcher says the mod doesn't exist

Maybe the problem is here. my first mod

[dusty comet]

ya know what I would like?
A MD submod that adds stargate command stuff to the US

make the US even more OP

also russia and china

also the normal start matches up almost perfectly year wise so yeah

[visual meteor]

Anyone know how to change spy portraits from a save file?

[nocturne pelican]

anyone got any idea why a state could possibly crash the validate all states tool in nudger?

doesnt give me a crash log at all and nothing in the error log suggests anything wrong with this state in particular

[nocturne pelican]

it also crashs the game on a "validate in state" when the states causing the crashes are highlighted so i assume they are related

[obtuse condor]

What tool

[rose heath]

https://www.img2go.com/colorize-image for colorizing

https://www.fotor.com/photo-editor-app/editor/basic for correcting the face

the first tool has limited uses

and the second puts a watermark on your pic and makes you unable to download it, but you can simply expand the picture so that the watermark is not on the portrait and then screenshot it

[languid wigeon]

Hey guys quick question how to add buildings in a province like naval bases?

[obtuse condor]

There is a specific line of code where it says what buildings the state starts with

[languid wigeon]

Can you send me a image of it pls

Or tell me code ?

I need it pls

[obtuse condor]

Idk it off the top of my head

[languid wigeon]

Sad

[cyan raptor]

How do you hide a focus? or focuses? I want them to unlock after another focus is completed.

[summer lotus]

hope this works

oh fk

this works but has unintended consequences

Is there a mod that will make USA peace out with Germany if Britain capitulates?

[summer lotus]

I have one that will fire the event in 10 years if neither side can touch each other

[safe fog]

what did you use the make the focuses? 🤔

[obtuse condor]

He used this one website that doesn’t actually make focuses, the only true way to make a focus tree is in the code of the game

[safe fog]

ik it doesnt make focuses (ive noticed quickly)

guys

it doesnt happen when you try to log into hoi4modding but it appears server error?

[rose heath]

a wise person fixes the errors
a wiser person ignores them

idk if you still want them

it doesn't have the new stuff because this pack is 4 years old

but it has some custom icons so that's cool

hey guys, I have some problems with the nudger tool, I know that all changes are saved in the documents folder, but if I try to edit states with the mod open It will open fine but it will reset to the previous version every time I do changes, if I copy all map related files form the mod to the doc folder and open the game in vanilla the game will just crash because they will start interfering with the base files. How I am supposed to avoid any crashes and also be able to edit the map from the mod? I'ts not like there is 1,2 states interfering with the base states, there are hundreds.

[sullen fractal]

there's a mod which I got recommended that boosted the performance drastically... I can't remember the name

[summer lotus]

ah

FROM.max_manpower_k doesn't work if called after FROM.FROM

[summer lotus]

ah, found the solution

FROM = { FROM.FROM = { PREV.max_manpower_k

[odd spindle]

Did sb know how to fix this?

how would set an event to appear after a certain date? (I want it to appear after so I can use it in any mod regardless of the date.)

[restive turret]

is there a mod where its around the bismarck time ?

i want like an event where it shows the assassination attempt of bismarck

and he survives it and gains the “iron chanceller” title

plus it would be fun to play prussia and debate agaisnt other german states about unification

and theres more potential with the second napoleonic empire

• crimean war

its a juicy tike period

mod starts around when bismarck is appointed as head chanceller

focus “Pull Bismarck back from Russia” or “Last Effort”

[nimble solar]

There are the Victoria games

Hoi4 is a total war game

Victoria is a diplomacy and economics game, which is during the time period you mention

[daring shale]

yo

i have a problem

im looking at iron workshops vid about making new land units

but i cant find the gfx files

[obtuse condor]

I'm having some troubles finding the event or something that gives eastern Poland to the USSR

I can't find it

I searched through the Germany and USSR event Giles

Searched for 784(Vilnius state) and couldn't find anything

Also the germany.14 event

[summer lotus]

it is an event fired by Lithuania

[obtuse condor]

Germany

[summer lotus]

you meant in vanilla or in your mod?

oh

MR Pact?

[obtuse condor]

Vanilla

[obtuse condor]

Yeah

[summer lotus]

There are three different events that give Eastern Poland to USSR after all

actually 4

[obtuse condor]

I added 5 states in that area

But can't find the part that gives them to the USSR

I assume it's outside of the Germany/events file

Searched through all the Soviet and German events files

[summer lotus]

ye they moved it to scripted effect

[obtuse condor]

I actually fixed that event before... Forgot it had to do with the scripted effects

Thanks

[summer lotus]

well there are like

4 different events doing similar things

so you need scripted effects for that

I have to do that too

[obtuse condor]

I can't stand border gore

I removed the options for Spain and Italy to take parts of France

In the Vichy event

Anyways Italy wasn't called into the war untill France capitulated irl

Italy only got negligible expansions into south east France

[summer lotus]

hmm

I wonder if you can put a while_loop_effect inside another one

let's try

should work

you should be able to

while I am not absolutely certain with how it is displayed

any variables should work perfectly

[obtuse condor]

A mod with allot of scripted peace deals would be cool

[cosmic aurora]

I wanna update industry rebalance to just include the rise in build slots

appreciate you my bro

Where would I add it

[obtuse condor]

A focus tree for china to move to Taiwan would be cool

Sending 2.5m to Taiwan would be cool

Bringing universities to Taiwan

Taking the industry

Getting core attack and defense buffs

Having the cores on the mainland removed

Maybe having options to expand into Hainan Macau Hong Kong

Maybe

Nothing crazy

Being able to take china back in 5 years

[obtuse condor]

[obtuse spoke]

so this is my first portrait change and been trying to figure out how to fix this issue, it shows up in the game but its not aligned right and off centered, does anyone know how to fix this? thanks

[timber zenith]

Your portrait img might have extra transparent pixels in that area

You'll have to edit the canvas size probably

[obtuse spoke]

seems like that was it thanks a ton

[timber zenith]

No worries

[obtuse condor]

Should the Slovak polish border be completely passable?

I don't believe it was impossible for the soviets to cross

[chilly field]

Can someone make a mod that makes northern dobruja a separate Romanian state

Please

[obtuse condor]

just that state?

[vocal sage]

are you making every leader or every general cat potraits

[chilly field]

Yeah

I hope this works

How do I translate a mod that I didn't create into a new language?

[faint lichen]

do you know the language you are trying to translate it into?

Need some help if anyone could enlighten me, tried editing the bookmarks tab and no matter what I have tried, the minors do not appear

[lilac willow]

There is a coding line you gotta add I think

[faint lichen]

VIP is the pacific states

[lilac willow]

Like smaller versions of the flag for the country gui in the selecting screen

[faint lichen]

I will ask about that

thanks

[faint lichen]

do I need to name it something specific?

[lilac willow]

I don't remember the exact code for it cause I stopped making mods a while ago

Chat GPT's response

[faint lichen]

lol thanks

I have the flags

so I cant say what the issue is now

[faint lichen]

yeah

idk what could be the issue

nvm

I consulted the ancient texts in the hoi4 modding library (I went over the wiki again)

that was able to enlighten me with the sufficient knowledge to overcome the quarrel

nvm

I got nothing

[keen parrot]

is the guy working on the league of legends mod here?

[timber zenith]

please don't ask chat gpt how to make hoi4 mods it's so increidbly wrong

[timber zenith]

fascism ≠ a nazi puppet state

[obtuse condor]

I'm adding reichskommisariat releasables

So Ukraine and the other countries don't permanently become reichskommisariats

[timber zenith]

You should use a scripted name then

so when it's a subject of germany it gets that name

RUK_GER_fascism_subject:0 "Reichskommissariat Ukraine"

[obtuse condor]

I don't know why the Reichskommisariats would be independent

Since they won't have cores

So all of their land will be taken

In peace deals

[timber zenith]

I did a similar thing but with that subject line just in case they got independent, but I can see why it might be easier that way

[obtuse condor]

Anyways it wouldn't be that hard to create a scripted peace deal

[timber zenith]

true

[obtuse condor]

"Germany 90% capitulation sov annex ruk rlv"

Rlv is balticduchy/ostland imo

[timber zenith]

Yeah I did that too

[obtuse condor]

Are you very experienced in making scripted peace deals?

[timber zenith]

Not particularly

[obtuse condor]

If Napoleon is in power

French get the Rhine

[timber zenith]

I actually can't remember how I convinced the ai to annex the fake rk tags lmao

[obtuse condor]

Would it be possible to base a scripted peace of war participation somehow?

Army size factory county?

[timber zenith]

I'm not aware of any way to check contribution

[timber zenith]

What I did was make an on action, so when the RK tag capitulates, the original country annexes all of its territory immediately

[hot jewel]

hey

does someonme have the DEFAULT event template

i mean im trying to find pic and photos online but man

if i want to convert stuff alot faster do i only need to change that number?

[west shoal]

hey folks

when modding stuff like this: GRE_anatolian_fascists_in_play_tt:1 "The £faction_gre_fascist §YFascists§! emerge and start off as §Rhostile§!."

How do I mod the stuff surrounded by §? What is that?

[obtuse condor]

hmm

[proper acorn]

everything in between § makes the game understand that this phrase or word will be in other colors than the game's default

§R This text is in red in the game §R

[proper acorn]

@west shoal

[west shoal]

you're the man now dog!

thank you

[proper acorn]

you are welcome

[gilded lava]

how do i change this with a photo

[lone hearth]

add a file named 'thumbnail.png' and add picture="thumbnail.png" to your descriptor file. It won't work locally but if you subscribe to it trough Steam Workshop it will work.

[gilded lava]

oh it doesn't show locally then alr thanks

[marble snow]

What are some good quality of life mods? Like stuff that doesn't alter VA Ulla game play, just makes it easier to organize etc?

[random ember]

wht is this ? in country leaders

[pale sparrow]

Person without traits

[brisk verge]

Alright, I need help with something that seems relatively simple. How do I basically reskin another nation? What I basically want to do is replace one nation's unit models with another, using in-game models not outside 3D assets. I prefer to do this as a mod that does not modify the checksum so if I really wanted to, I could just use this skin mod in ironman mode as well. It shouldn't since it should just be a cosmetic change. (Got it resolved)

[latent finch]

Alright I have a question, so I know that adjusting the map size has to be multiples of 64, does anyone know how large it can be before losing a major amount of stability?

[plucky flame]

Any new/updated custom nation mods or country overhaul mods?.

[vague spoke]

Hi how do I set base consumer to 0
It drops to minimum 10%
how can I fix it

[random ember]

Thanks men

[errant cape]

hello

[random ember]

Hello

[random ember]

Why you want change the map size ?

[harsh thunder]

So does this change the country colour???

[proper acorn]

No, this just changes the colors of the focus texts, decisions, etc.

[harsh thunder]

How can i change the country color ?

[timber zenith]

there's a file, common/countries/colors.txt you can change the value there.

If you mean mid-game, you can do that there too. If you copy one of the bits of code, you can change the tag to whatever you want, such as GER_empire for example, then run the command set_cosmetic_tag = GER_empire in a focus, event, etc. and it will change the colour to the value you set.

[timber zenith]

In my experience the vanilla hoi4 map already is the largest size possible.

[proper acorn]

Go to your folder and create the common folder and inside it create the "countries" folder
Follow this same path in the main game folder (Common - Countries) and copy the "colors" file and paste it into the countries folder of your mod, then open this mod's colors file and drag it down and add the tag of your country and the rgb of the color you want

[short vault]

I'm trying to change this number, but apparently NDefines.NAir.ACCIDENT_CHANCE_BASE = 0.1 is not the define to change it. I've searched 'accident', any clues?

[latent finch]

for the mod I am working on

[latent finch]

alright, I've seen some people say that they have made it bigger, but only incrementally

[ocean prairie]

i dont even have a tutorial/tutorial.txt directory

[barren oak]

Hey guys what do I put in here to refrence all countries?

I want to make it so that when the target country that clicks the decision, they have a huge increase in the opinion of all countries

Not just a specific one, but all countries

[short vault]

Update: I tried to reverse trace the define name from the localisation file, but variables are coded in unit_l_english.yml so I cannot.

[random ember]

Guys, how can I put puppet flags ? pls

[obtuse condor]

does modding require programming skills? and if so, which language do i have to use?

[crystal folio]

I would try every_other_country = { add_opinion_modifier = { target = ROOT modifier = huge_increase } }

Re-read what you're trying to do, so actually it would look like every_other_country = { ROOT = { add_opinion_modifier = { target = PREV modifier = huge_increase } } }. This should give your root country the opinion modifier towards everyone else.

[digital heart]

It’s pseudo code, pretty easy to pick up the basics but can get complicated for more advanced aspects

[rugged yarrow]

Does anyone here know how to extract a statemap?

I'm trying to get one for the Mars resource map.

[slender brook]

Modding uses its own pseudo code called Paradox Modding Language or something like that. I’d say it has aspects of C-based languages though ultimately it is vastly simpler than any real coding language

Prior programming skills would still help, but it’s not required at all

[rugged yarrow]

So the statemap?

[fervent cove]

does someone know how does that Dynamic focus tree thing works??? like in the Cold War Mod i mean, after certain focus/date, the tree changes to another

[barren oak]

i did TARGET = FROM

[barren oak]

its just JSON

a customized JSOn

[crystal folio]

Did it work for you?

[barren oak]

yep it did, by the way is there a way to modify your peace score with modding

or change the costs of states

[crystal folio]

idk, never tried messing with that

[barren oak]

nevermind i found a way to modify that too, but is there a way to modify the opinion number

like outright

can i set it to 100

using modding

[crystal folio]

you would have to make a custom opinion modifier to give

[barren oak]

what do you mean?

[crystal folio]

check common\opinion_modifiers for ones to use or define your own in your mod

[barren oak]

and how do i add acceptance modifiers

[barren oak]

like how do I mod another thing here

that will allow them to accept

[faint lichen]

what ratio and resolution should loading screens be?

[remote cargo]

can someone help? my test tree (well.. seed) for cuba isn’t replacing the generic tree

focus_tree = {

        add = 10
        tag = CUB

    y=10
}

    cancel_if_invalid = yes
    continue_if_invalid = no
    available_if_capitulated = no
    completion_reward = {
        add_stability =5.0
}

}
(also how do i make an event trigger as a completion reward? rn i just did "has_completed_focus" in triggers but if it was available to see before completing that wld be great

[timber zenith]

The opening part of that first focus is labelled initial_show_position instead of focus

You're missing a couple equals signs in the available scope

[royal quartz]

why is it saying this when im communist?

[timber zenith]

Add an effect like country_event = my_event.1

And also make an event in the events folder

And wdym you put has_completed_focus in triggers for an event?

And 5.0 stability means 500%

[digital heart]

This isn’t modding but its because your faction leader cant declare war, like if youre in a democratic faction in the base game and you try declaring on someone who hasnt created tension even if youre fascist

[royal quartz]

Ah sry for using the wrong channel, the faction leader is also communist which is also why I'm confused

[digital heart]

Could be an idea or something affecting their ruleset for declaring war

[remote cargo]

oh ya i thought i fixed that..

also ya i have an event file!!

also tysm

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know where the localisation for the Reichskommisariats decisions is?

Or I could just put the new decisions localisations in a new file

If Romania owns northern Transylvania Odessa and south podolia should be given to Reichskommisariat Ukraine

[obtuse condor]

i got no programming skills and want to make a mod of an actually accurate ww2 world map, is that possible?

[slender brook]

I would say that’s inadvisable - map editing is a bit harder than just regular modding

[obtuse condor]

Uprisings never happen in hoi4!

I made Reichskommisariat tags with no cores

And there have been no revolts

The Reichskommisariats have 0 Manpower!

The compliance is going up and the resistance down!

[obtuse condor]

As in accurate states?

[obtuse condor]

like not making the map bigger, fixing borders to a more accurate way, or is that what you meant?

[obtuse condor]

yes

[slender brook]

If you're just adding or removing provinces to states, sure. But if you're looking to change provinces, that'll be where difficulties start to arise

[obtuse condor]

so if i want to chane a little bit the borders of a province i will have a lot of difficulties?

[obtuse condor]

I have done it and it's not hard

Imo

[slender brook]

Borders of a province might be fine, but if you're adding more or removing provinces, that's where difficulty arises. Changing states and what provinces they have is very easy.

[obtuse condor]

for example, if i want to add the sichuan clique, by changing the borders of the provinces, its easy. while if i want to add a new state in a province or more, its hard. right?

[obtuse condor]

Adding states isn't hard

[slender brook]

States are easy. Provinces are hard.

[obtuse condor]

ah

ok

[slender brook]

You can easily add in 5 bajillion states and do whatever you want with them, but adding in more provinces will prove to be harder

[obtuse condor]

Fixing events focustrees decisions can be a pain

[slender brook]

That also

I would know as the girl who makes a mod entirely dependent on states

[obtuse condor]

how much hard is it from a scale from 1 to 10

[slender brook]

Anywhere from 1-10

[obtuse condor]

It's not that hard to find stuff in general

3

and what's the most difficult thing to do?

It was a little tuff to find the thing that transfered eastern Poland to USSR that was in the scripted effects

[obtuse condor]

Fixing railway focuses

Tbh

Need to look at the province ids

[obtuse condor]

like changing focus trees?

[obtuse condor]

If you change the provinces the railways will be messed up

Unless you mold the provinces around the railways

ok

seems something i will never be able of doing cause i cannot do anything at all related to anything you can think off

It's not that hard actually imo

I want to make a vanilla expanded mod

With all the states you could need

and once i do that i will screw the entire game folder and ruin like 100€ worth of game👍 seems like something i will do

[remote cargo]

i got it to replace the focus tree but now my focus just .. wont show up

[obtuse condor]

so fixing china as well?

[obtuse condor]

Remove the prerequisite

Try that

And mutually exclusive

Since there are no other focuses in question

[remote cargo]

ok ty ill try

[slender brook]

Without looking at it I can say it's probably a syntax era

I meant error

That initial_show_position is messing it up

Plus there's like, 3 missing end-brackets

[obtuse condor]

Idk why the demand Slovenia and first Ljubljana award focuses exist

[remote cargo]

ohhh

it says it works

also ive gotten slovenia once

[obtuse condor]

I hope if I fix allot of the events

[remote cargo]

dude if u use diplomatic pressure u can get like anything

[obtuse condor]

And add some map painting decisions my mod will become bigger

[slender brook]

No, the weird one that's afterwards

[remote cargo]

it like guarantees you can puppet yugo as italy as well as giving u a chance to get slovenia

ohh

focus should close at the end right

[obtuse condor]

I really want to add scripted Soviet/German peace deals

[remote cargo]

wait it says its closed too

[obtuse condor]

Dniper Volga ural

[remote cargo]

right before bypass

[slender brook]

I'm just going to rewrite that whole sequence

[remote cargo]

okay tysm.. im so sorry to bother u

[slender brook]

available = {
CUB = { has_government = democratic }
}

[remote cargo]

ur amazing !!

ohhh THATT

mb

[slender brook]

if limit is for effects

If limit is used in effects to say "If the scope passes these conditions, do these effects"

In an available sequence, it's just conditions

[remote cargo]

ohh ok

[obtuse condor]

Will a mod 100% get more popular if you give a country 200 extra focuses with some events decisions wars sprinkled in

[slender brook]

If they're good

And if the mod is interesting beyond just being good

[remote cargo]

probably ? i think honestly ur best bet is to join a dev team if u want to be popular

rn im just trying to learn focuses and other stuff before i ask to join a dev team

but i do want to make smthn of the mod im making w my friends

even if its just something we play with it wld still be cool

[obtuse condor]

Adding a lot of mass deportations focuses/decisions/events

To make a mod based

Would probably benefit a mod

[remote cargo]

ig but only if u back it up with good gameplay

its like MARESOC in eaw

its haha funny tree but the focuses r really boring ngl

and theres not a ton to do

also ughhh it still wont work :C

[obtuse condor]

Adding an Aliyah mechanic is something I really want to add

Aliyah as in the Jewish immigration to Israel/Palestine

[slender brook]

No I think that would just cause your mod to develop a sour reputation cause it'd attract racists

[obtuse condor]

My mod has been pretty stagnant the past 6 months

Being somewhere between 325-400 subs

90%+ My fault tho to be fair

[slender brook]

I think that's when you just call it quits, and make a new mod. Maybe still using the same content, but mods don't just suddenly become popular

[obtuse condor]

A new mod file with the same mods content?

To give it some vitality

[slender brook]

Yeah, but with just more polishing overall. If you just release the exact same mod it'll go the exact same way

[obtuse condor]

I should wait 3 months untill I release a new version tbh

To polish up all the base game content

[hot jewel]

what can i use for a mechanic that steals the manpower/divisions of the enemy i destroyed

[worldly timber]

how do I make a trigger on the player justifying against anyone?
like
is_justifying_wargoal_against = any_country

any_country isn't an effect scope so that doesn't work

I think it should be something like
any_country = {
PLAYER = {
is_justifying_wargoal_against = ROOT
}
}

but there's no such scope as player

[slender brook]

Depends on what you're using this in

[worldly timber]

just a music mod

I want a specific song to have a bigger chance to play when the player is justifying

[slender brook]

I think ROOT would be the player in this situation, since root typically defaults to the player

[worldly timber]

oh ok thx I just don't really understand the root/this thing yet

so it should be
any_country = {
ROOT = {
is_justifying_wargoal_against = PREV
}
}

or how do I refer to that any country?

[slender brook]

Yeah that should work

[worldly timber]

thanks I'll try

[timber zenith]

ROOT just means the base country

You can use the trigger is_ai = no

[obtuse condor]

ou

oy

what mod do you guys recommend me

[slender brook]

Are you looking for Quality of Life, total overhaul, historical overhaul, what type?

[obtuse condor]

historical overhaul

[slender brook]

Great War Redux and Empires are my personal favourites

[worldly timber]

wdym base country

[timber zenith]

If the file is the french focus tree, then ROOT would be referring to FRA for example

[worldly timber]

well if the file isn't related to any country then it does default to the player, right?

[timber zenith]

what kind of file is it?

[worldly timber]

it's a file with chances for radio songs

[timber zenith]

I don't believe root would work in that situation

wait what's the specific directory?

[worldly timber]

well I didn't test yet but I think root has to point at something and if the file doesn't point to any tag it should point at the player

[worldly timber]

mod/modname/music/modname.txt or something I don't remember I've turned the PC off already

it's in the same folder as the .ogg music files and the .asset file

[timber zenith]

ROOT always refers to the country interacting with it, i don't think It will work in that situation

It doesn't make a distinguishment between ai and real player

[worldly timber]

so how can I do it if root doesn't work

btw triggers like has_war do work relating to the player without mentioning any tags so I guess the player country is indeed the root in that case

[timber zenith]

has_war relates to the ROOT scope as well

[worldly timber]

yeah that's what I meant

[timber zenith]

It will apply to whichever country's scope it is in, typically root, not the player specifically

[worldly timber]

and in this case the root is the player

[timber zenith]

You can do

any_country = {
  if = {
    limit = {
      is_ai = no
    }
    any_other_country = {
      is_justifying_wargoal_against = PREV
    }
  }
}

That might work???

[timber zenith]

But the music folder doesn't know that

[worldly timber]

I think you got it backwards, I want to trigger it when the player is justifying on someone, not when someone justifies on the player

[timber zenith]

ohhh my bad

[worldly timber]

but has_war knows that it has to relate to the player if no tag is specified

[timber zenith]

It doesn't

If it's the player country then it knows because it's that country, not cause its the player

[worldly timber]

what's even the difference

obviously it's the player country at war not the player himself fighting someone irl

[timber zenith]

If you put has_war in the focus of a country that isn't the player, for example the italian focus tree, it will assume by default that it's referring to if italy has that war

obviously scopes come into play there but if it's not in any other scopes then it will assume italy

[worldly timber]

I'm not talking about has_war as a trigger in general, I'm talking specifically about the song chance file, focuses have nothing to do with that

[timber zenith]

That's just as an example

[worldly timber]

modifier { add = 1 has_war_with = GER } will trigger if the player country is at war with Germany, even though no tag is specified

no tag for the country at war I mean

[timber zenith]

ohhhh you're referring specifically to in music files

[worldly timber]

yes

[timber zenith]

I apologise

[worldly timber]

np

[timber zenith]

You can do

any_other_country = {
  is_justifying_wargoal_against = ROOT
}

[worldly timber]

you got it backwards again

[timber zenith]

😂🤦‍♂️

[worldly timber]

though I'll probably add this too, the song is still fitting if the player is the one getting justified against

[timber zenith]

English is my first language so that just goes to show how dumb I am 😅

[worldly timber]

it's okay, especially at 3am lol (if you're in Europe)

[summer lotus]

is it event?

or scripted_trigger?

or scripted_effect?

[worldly timber]

radio song chances

[summer lotus]

ye ROOT works

ROOT doesn't need to point at something on every occasions

ROOT really just means they check whatever countries applicable as the one fulfilling the trigger condition unless specified otherwise

PREV defaults to, well, the prev one

if you have interaction then ROOT = new FROM = old, as they use ROOT to fire the trigger and FROM to identify who receives effect,

it only changes a little for on_action

[remote cargo]

ive already gotten some help with this but i still cant see this focus ingame? it just shows no focuses, is there any rzn why?

90179323231056926

[slender brook]

It's the second initial_show_position, you're only supposed to have one in the file. Also there's still missing end brackets

[remote cargo]

oh i fixed that i think it didnt save ughhh

[remote cargo]

omg still wont work ugh... im so sorry :C this is so dumbbbb it sprobably smthn ez and dumb im forgetting

[slender brook]

Alright, I will just correct this and then you can take note of it

[remote cargo]

okay tysm

[slender brook]

Notes: You accidentally ended the sequence early with too many closing brackets in the available part

Full stops/periods always need a number before it

You don't need to refer to the country doing the focus, the game already knows

This is a very good reason to always properly tab out your code, since it makes it way easier to read and way more diagnosable

[remote cargo]

ohh

thank you so much omg

like genuinely ahhh i thought i had fixed

[slender brook]

No problem. That'll be 5000 dollars not including tax. Would you also like to use suggested gratuity of 25%?

[remote cargo]

HEHEHE here u go 💰 💰

WHATT

I swear this just hates me for some rzn

[slender brook]

Oh, it's because you wrote focus = CUB_pre
It should be id = CUB_pre

I mean that's probably on me for not catching that

[remote cargo]

OHHH ty

ty !! youa re a lifesaver

[slender brook]

No I'm Anker

[remote cargo]

hehe
you possess the traits of a lifesaver

[grand rock]

does anyone know of a good up to date version of the battle royale mod?

[remote cargo]

OMG IT WORKED TySM ANKER

AHHHHHH

[obtuse condor]

How does the Austrian units defecting to Germany in the great war redux work?

[summer lotus]

which event?

[obtuse condor]

In general idk

[obtuse condor]

can someone tell me which color rivers have in terrain map?

[timber zenith]

Rivers have their own file

[obtuse condor]

where

[timber zenith]

map/rivers.bmp

[obtuse condor]

ok

[obtuse condor]

can you tell me what city map doing?

is only dark green , light green and brown colors

[timber zenith]

I believe it's to use different city textures for different regions

I'm not particularly sure about it tho

[brave furnace]

Working on a naval ledger concept. Where would I find data for downed planes and convoys that are not listed among the ship's sunk?

[jovial lodge]

hi guys i made a bookmark and tried making a icon for the bookmark but it just goes with the default 1936 : ( could anybody help?

[worldly timber]

how can I make a trigger for when the player country is Austria-Hungary or at war with A-H? is there any flag for the formation of A-H?

[calm yew]

alright, does anyone out here knows how to properly export the provinces.bmp file so it actually works (specifically on Gimp)
because i cant figure it out

nevermind exporting it with paint did it for whatever reason

[barren oak]

on_actions = { on_startup = { effect = { every_country = { limit = { is_AI = no } add_ideas = { idea1 idea2 idea3 idea4 idea5 idea6 } } } } }
Is this valid? Will it load all the ideas or how can I load multiple ideas on startup?

[jovial lodge]

i cant run nudget D :

i mean i cant run debug mode

man i hate when hoi4 acts retarted

it crashesh when it creates checksum

I made an accident in nudger and now it crashes when loading checksum and its listed in playsets as a mod. How can I delete it and fix my game? i tried all of those things even re-installing and theres still this error popping up.

[worldly timber]

what id/tag does vlasov have?

I can't find him in the character files

[barren oak]

his ID is VLA i believe

[worldly timber]

character IDs aren't like that

they're like SOV_iosif_stalin

but I can't find any mention of vlasov in common/characters in either GER.txt or SOV.txt

found it, it's from NSB apparently

SOV_andrey_vlasov

could've guessed myself smh

[barren oak]

wait can you help me

how do i add multiple ideas at once upon loading

[worldly timber]

idk I never did anything but music mods yet

[barren oak]

Can someone tell me why this decision wont appear in game?

[celest dust]

Are you using notepad as a makeshift IDE?

[proper acorn]

Did you check that the decision category is also visible?

[barren oak]

yes it is

[barren oak]

it will do

plus its not code anyway

[slender brook]

Yeah no it doesn't considering that a proper IDE would tell you that there's a missing closing bracket after complete_effect

[barren oak]

huh

[barren oak]

what? really?

where

[slender brook]

After complete_effect. It doesn't get closed properly

[barren oak]

then what should it look like

can you please adjust it

[barren oak]

should i press enter afterwards

[barren oak]

wait how is that correct

[slender brook]

Technically speaking, it does not matter. But also you should really delete all of those notes

[barren oak]

oh

i see

[barren oak]

i just copied them over

no ones gonna know anyway

[slender brook]

Yeah but it makes your code harder to read

[barren oak]

i dont care

also its not code

its JSOn

i can read human JSON fine

[barren oak]

btw what are some rules that i can add

i want to create my own autonomus states

[slender brook]

That's entirely semantical and I do not care

[slender brook]

Entirely depends on what it's meant to do

[barren oak]

just tell me all the rules that i can add

[slender brook]

I think that's probably all of them

[barren oak]

how do i assign a state to have my custom autonomy level

[slender brook]

A state? You'd need to look at state modifiers and not puppets

[barren oak]

i dont want state modifiers, im talking about assigning my newly created autonomy level

to another country

[slender brook]

Ok, so you'd use the set_autonomy effect

[barren oak]

How would I do that

Is that a command?

Also do I need to put anything in localization?

[slender brook]

It’s an effect, it’s essentially the result of something like a decision or focus

[slender brook]

No

[slender brook]

For example, you’d put it in the complete_effect section of that decision

[slender brook]

I mean I guess you’d need to put the autonomy type in, but that’s assumed anyways

[rose heath]

if i have a focus that adds 2 factories in a specific state
and then i lose that specific state
will the focus still add factories to that specific state?

i think i can make it so the focus is only avalible if you hold the state but idk how

[barren oak]

so can you like generate what im supposed to put in?

[barren oak]

The options dont appear

I load in to the game but they are not in the category I put them in

what am i doing wrong for it not to appear

[summer lotus]

add

always = yes

in visible and available

could also be # problem

have you debugged it from inside the game?

[barren oak]

how do i debug it

[summer lotus]

load save

type debug

resume

wait a bit

reload the save

an error.log will appear

[barren oak]

where will it appear

[summer lotus]

if nothing appears, nothing is wrong

it will appear

you will know when it does

[barren oak]

well it appears now

yeah i think it was the comments

[summer lotus]

oh

ye it looks like this

you will see if you see it

[barren oak]

wait why does it say ai_will_do

[summer lotus]

cuz you got bracket issue

[barren oak]

well can you correct it

[summer lotus]

dunno

it could be some of those

[barren oak]

what?

some of what?

[summer lotus]

one of those, more so

just check them one by one

your flashbang is killing me

[barren oak]

i checked all the brackets

they close properly

[summer lotus]

no idea then

or you may send me the file

[barren oak]

heres the file

[summer lotus]

hmm, actually nothing wrong there

do you see the autonomy decision?

[rose heath]

how do i remove the 25 building cap on states

[barren oak]

the autonomy decision? yes

[barren oak]

but whats wrong with the decision?

[summer lotus]

any other file sharing the same decision category/

just debug anyway

see what it says

[barren oak]

why does this not work

when i load in game and click the decision i dont get market access to all the countries

[summer lotus]

try ROOT

[barren oak]

alright, i also loaded in debug mode

[summer lotus]

just go through it

[rose heath]

i downloaded a mod that changes that and kinda copied the way they did it

[barren oak]

ROOT doesnt work

it doesnt give me market access to all countries

which is what supposed to happen once i click that button

[summer lotus]

if it doesn't work, nothing works

cuz you can't do PREV here either

well, can try

[barren oak]

how do i refrence one country

is it TAG = GER

or target = GER

or target = { TAG = GER}

[summer lotus]

every_country = {
limit = { is_ai = no }
every_other_country = { do your effect here =
target = PREV

[barren oak]

can u format it

[summer lotus]

no

I am on phone

can't bother

[barren oak]

wait how do i format properly

[barren oak]

bro i need it to be formatted properly

[barren oak]

is this good?

nope

it doesnt work

[obtuse condor]

How to add a focus for Sweden called "Åland is ours" and when completed it sends a ultimatum to Finland to give åland

@summer lotus

[rose heath]

everything works but i get errors saying that focuses don't exist and that "limit' is an invalid effect
can i just ignore this

the focus that doesn't exists works just as it's supposed to so i don't know man

[summer lotus]

limit goes after trigger cuz it helps defining scope

in itself limit isn't an effect

you have to categorize target such as

every_country = {

then limit = {

which will define what conditions a country needs to satisfy amongst every_country to receive the effect

[rose heath]

i have this stuff show up

idk which focus may be causing it

[summer lotus]

or

it has to go after

[rose heath]

it's probably because the "[]" things are closed incorrectly

[summer lotus]

if = {

if = { limit = { sth sth

[rose heath]

but idk where

[summer lotus]

just check

you know the line number

[rose heath]

i don't really understand
it is saying that the focuses that not only did not cause errors before, but also did work and still work now are invalid or something

the error log isn't pointing me at any real issue

relative_focus_id: LUX_star_base_4 does not exist. Relative focus must be scripted before this.

except the focus does exist exactly as it is written in the error

i had no errors like this for most of my time of making this mod and i just have them now for some reason

[rose heath]

i can technically ignore this error because as i said everything works fine but i'm worried it'll bite me in the future if i do

[obtuse condor]

@summer lotus How to add a focus for Sweden called "Åland is ours" and when completed it sends a ultimatum to Finland to give åland

[rose heath]

you can simply reverse engieneer focuses that already do that
like the focus that forces lithunia to give some land to germany

[timber zenith]

You've got an open bracket. Check in that error log, the earliest occurrence of the error in the luxembourg tree will be the general area where the bracket is broken

If you select the opening bracket, it will highlight the closing bracket and vice versa. You can use that to see if they're closing correctly, and fix accordingly.

[rose heath]

i did suspect this may be the case but the focus brackets seem to be closed

this is the earliest occurance of this error

i mean there might be an open bracket somewhere

but now have fun trying to figure out where

[timber zenith]

Make a focus, and have it's effect trigger an event that gets sent to Finland demanding the territory

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the error log?

[rose heath]

the defense_factor modifier is not the reason as it was there before and i know how to fix it i just didn't

[timber zenith]

I see

In the completion reward you have a limit scope, without an if scope

It's gotta be like

8 ={

 If ={

  limit ={

  }

 }

}

That was painful to type on mobile lol

Ignore the gaps, just the structure is what I mean

Or you can put the 8 inside both (not between), that doesn't matter but it works that way as well

Alr I'm going to bed so good luck with that

[rose heath]

alright thanks goodnight

[rose heath]

ehh if a focus had an open bracket that i'm missing then maybe said focus would not work

and it seems as if all the focuses work exactly as they're supposed to

[barren oak]

how do i edit it so that when the target country that takes this decision all countries become puppets of that country

[barren oak]

I have an update

only works if you put country tag

[barren oak]

I have another question

how do I set multiple or all provinces

[proper acorn]

What is the resolution of an event?

[barren oak]

How do I set multiple or all provinces to have 10000 victory points

[summer lotus]

Probably not possible since province id has to be defined specifically as it is not a scope by default

[barren oak]

can i use a scope in replacement of province

[summer lotus]

Dunno, but there is one way you can use every_province in a state if you check Canada focus tree or sth

Just not sure whether set_victory_point works the same way here

[barren oak]

how do i edit commands in hoi4

like console commands

[barren oak]

?

[proper acorn]

Why does this image appear?

I managed to solve

[timber zenith]

Can't

[timber zenith]

You can't, gotta do them individually

There might be a way to cheese it tho, not 100% sure i'll check

[faint lichen]

any ideas as to why the senario selection screen is skipped over when clicking singleplayer?

I recently changed it in a mod, but it does the above mentioned thing

I am getting zero mention of it in the error log, which is throwing me off

[timber zenith]

if theres only one option the game will skip it iirc

[faint lichen]

you might be right

I will look at the files

thanks

that did work

thanks

[timber zenith]

np

[barren oak]

wdym i cant

[barren oak]

how do i cheese it
