[humble cedar]

oh my mistake for the belarus one i wanted

lemme find it

[final tusk]

yes.modifies the GFX image

[obtuse condor]

what you mean?

i want to add crossbar below the national spirit to not make them smaller icons

[humble cedar]

@final tusk (srry for the ping)
Could you give me the belarus txt file in Hearts of Iron IV\common\countries

or simply only the color code for belarus

[final tusk]

I see. it's a little more complicated then. try to manipulate the GUI in the Interface folder

[obtuse condor]

... did you know what need to type for make crossbar below the national spirits?...

[final tusk]

no problem. I'll give it to you right away

[final tusk]

precisely. no, sorry

[obtuse condor]

ok

[final tusk]

180 220 190

[humble cedar]

Thank you!

[obtuse condor]

anybody know how to add slider?

[humble cedar]

Mod Progress so far :

[lament pine]

How do you make mods?

[humble cedar]

you open the HOI4 launcher

for the first part

[lament pine]

ok

[humble cedar]

you go to "all installed mods"

[lament pine]

ok

[humble cedar]

then "upload mod"

[lament pine]

ok

[humble cedar]

and then "create a mod"

[lament pine]

ok

[humble cedar]

for the rest you'll have to watch a bit of tutorials

[lament pine]

ok ty

[humble cedar]

what exactly do you want to make?

[lament pine]

maybe some like different years of history

Kinda new to hoi 4

[humble cedar]

ah, that's going to take a bit of while i think

But i believe you'll pull through

[lament pine]

I have played games similar to hearts of iron IV

Like Europa Unversalis IV

and Rise of Nations(a really good roblox war game)

[stuck quarry]

so glad you didnt say iron assault

[humble cedar]

I used to play that before i bought HOI4

then i never touched it again because roblox has a very toxic community.

[lament pine]

never heard of that

[proper acorn]

Type "gui" in the console and place the mouse where you want to move

[lament pine]

I hit create a mod, how do I edit the map?

[proper acorn]

the game tells you where to configure it

[obtuse condor]

give me second

[stuck quarry]

Its another roblox country game by the creator of piggy

[humble cedar]

NAHHHHH

[stuck quarry]

It was made long before piggy

[humble cedar]

oh ok

much better

[stuck quarry]

But its bare simple and plays entirely differently from ron

Plus it has a map editor

[humble cedar]

I'll have to figure out how to change the names of cities

and as well as country

[stuck quarry]

Theres a victory point localization file

You can then search the province id or the original city name to find and change it

[humble cedar]

oh thank you

[stuck quarry]

Countries are also in the countries localization file, find it then search for the tag

Then suffer through writing like 10 different variations of the same name bc hoi4 be like that lol

[humble cedar]

it's "Konstantiniyee"

right?

[stuck quarry]

Uhh wot?

Is that a city name

[humble cedar]

the normal name of Constantinople

at least under ottoman rule

"Konstantiniyee"

[stuck quarry]

Like you search the name of the city thats in game in that file to find it

[humble cedar]

yeah i know

im renaming it

[stuck quarry]

Oh, honestly i dont know then

Idk anything about the ottomans

I kinda suck when it comes to most things history related

[twilit hatch]

Pettain

[humble cedar]

looks nice

does anybody know how i can make it so a country starts being guaranteed by specific nations?

[stuck quarry]

Are you using vscode?

Theres a hoi4 modding addon for vscode along with the hoi4 modding wiki which are great to use

I cant be sure about this but id guess theres some kinda option for a counties history file to guarintee another country

[humble cedar]

No i am using notepad++

[obtuse condor]

Ooooh no theres no text on it XD SORRY 😂 I JUST PUT THAT SO PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS. Plus i didn't Wanna put the flag itself without text because i was a bit worried that someone will steal it and use it. sorry

[timber zenith]

I wouldn't worry about that

[obtuse condor]

Oh okay! well here it goes : D

[fleet wind]

bruh i know that im crazy

but i want to make a mod about my own city

[humble cedar]

that sounds, Intresting

what got you to get that idea?

[fleet wind]

I dont know, just not that long ago with my friends i made a fictional country. Flag, anthem, all that stuff. I remembered about it now and thought "Why wont a make a Hoi4 mod, where i split all my city and some close settlements around it in small countries?"

[humble cedar]

Well, If you really want to do it, Then go ahead.

nobody's gonna stop ya

[fleet wind]

okay, ill try

[humble cedar]

Next Question!, Does anybody know how i can make it so turkey starts off being embargoed by Greece and another country?

[fleet wind]

no,no,no,no,no i wont do this

map quides are useless, mapgen is broken, i dont want to put my hands on that pile of... you know

[fading fox]

help

i updated my game to 1.13.2
but kaiserreich mod requires either 1.13.2 or higher than 1.13.3

[peak quail]

how do i change the language of my hoi4 game?

[idle echo]

on steam

[peak quail]

nvm

[obtuse condor]

That would be a awesome thing!. i would love to make mines on hoi4 but unfortunately idk how to create hoi4 mods and im pretty sure its not easy

[humble cedar]

shouldn't gfx\interface\ideas\TAG\TAG_free_zone.png work?

ah, nevermind i have resolved my issue

it must be dds file as well

[stuck quarry]

Making hoi4 mods is rather easy, it may seem intimidating at first because of all the files you need to edit but once you get used to it, its pretty simple

[cinder cypress]

how do you play this game with mods?

[humble cedar]

turns out my issue was never solved.

so im trying to give an idea to a nation

but

interface/ideas/TAG_free_zone.dds doesn't work

and the idea remains a question mark

anybody know how i could possibly fix this issue?

perhaps if anybody knows if i need more than 3 files?

(history file,gfx file and common file))

(btw ping if needed)

[humble cedar]

Cancel that, Issue has been resolved.

[humble cedar]

Here's the mod progress so far :

Greece is under a democratic government under "Eleftherios Kyriakos Venizelos"
Turkey is under the ottoman monarchy with "Abdulmecid II" in charge

[barren oak]

ENG = {

is_justifying_wargoal_against = GER

}

how do I make it check if ENG is justifying against any country, not just germany

[humble cedar]

shouldn't it be like

ROOT or smth?

Also, If anyone knows the answer I would like to know how i can make the units spawn in the right place cause right now, Turkey spawns units outside their territory, and Kurdistan,Armenia,International Straits Comission do not spawn any units and greece spawns their base-game units.

[lofty plaza]

Is there an alternative one that scopes to the ROOT country instead?

If so then you can just scope it into any_country

[barren oak]

you mean

ROOT = {

is_justifying_wargoal_against = GER

}

[lofty plaza]

No

One that actually checks the root country

Something like is_being_justified_against or something

[sand summit]

Hi :D im looking for modders that would and can help me in a mod that im making

[twilit hatch]

Kingdom of Portugal

[stuck quarry]

i just put a very early version of my mod on steam yesterday, but i cannot describe how happy and motivated it makes me that people are actually subscribing and like it

[humble cedar]

where are they located ?

[pale sparrow]

History/units

[humble cedar]

Ah, I see then

So i must change these files from txt to oob?

[timber zenith]

No that's correct

OOB just stands for Order Of Battle

You'll need to modify the turkish oob file, and change the provinces of the units to ones inside turkey

[worldly timber]

any_country = {

ENG = {

is_justifying_wargoal_against = PREV

}

}

[humble cedar]

the file is already edited, since the borders and stuff are the same with fuhrreredux.

shouldn't this be correct? or im i missing some other important files?

[dreamy matrix]

sharing the screenshot about the mod i am making now(pls ignore that errors)Also we are recruiting now.if u wanna join u can direct message me

:3

[humble cedar]

looks like Kaiserreich

[dreamy matrix]

only part like

[humble cedar]

do you know how to do history\units ?

[dreamy matrix]

what's u mean

[humble cedar]

how to make units spawn inside their own territory

and not in german lands for example.

[dreamy matrix]

change this

like if i want spawn a division in this province just do location = 13011

@humble cedar

[humble cedar]

yeah like

I've already changed the location and stuff

yet they spawn in their natural places

is the file supposed to be something other than .txt?

or im i missing some important files?

[dreamy matrix]

are u change the _nsb.txt

[humble cedar]

where's that?

[dreamy matrix]

hmm are u make a new txt or just change it

[humble cedar]

it's a copied txt file from an other mod

because I use the same borders with it either way

[dreamy matrix]

can i see ur file

[dreamy matrix]

are u change this

[humble cedar]

oh

no, i haven't

[dreamy matrix]

-.-

[humble cedar]

well, thank you

[dreamy matrix]

np

[dreamy matrix]

recruiting now:3

[humble cedar]

@dreamy matrix I'll have to thank you once again because now i know how the hell "oob" and stuff work

so, thank you

[dense scaffold]

is there any way to kill the uk in world war bruh

[humble cedar]

Anybody know how i cna make a nation start with airplanes?

I have the air wings ready and stuff

but they do not spawn

[sand summit]

It's kinda like a TNO Furherriech

[humble cedar]

It's basically if Adam Dressler's germany from Fuhrrereich/Fuhrreredux won the 2nd world war

an intresting design.

[sand summit]

Yeah, I have some of the lore on a doc, I can send it in a little bit

DM me and I can send you the link

To the doc

[sand summit]

no, my idea of it was the style of furherriech, but tno, so it asks the question; "what if germany lost ww2 from the tno view?"

[humble cedar]

oh that's way more intresting

anyway time to ask for help

this in theory should spawn planes to the states that it has marked right?

well for some reason it does not and i would like some help on why this doesn't really go according to plan

and i have added the equipment variants for the planes in history/countries/GRE

[rose heath]

when i change the cosmetic tag only the color of the country changes but not its name or flag and i don't really understand why
do i have to connect the name and flag to the cosmetic tag somehow?

[rocky badger]

Can i make a mod that just make changes in the look of the game without mod tool

[keen parrot]

idk how the term is called in english

but you have key words

for long names

there s a variable called falang_pol

or something like that

and that stores a string "Falangist poland"

[rose heath]

do you know where i could find a file with these

[sour sable]

its loc key is POL, and the localisation, what you see in game, is stored in localisation/LANGUAGE/*.yml

well

its loc key is a three letter value

presumably POL or something

defined in common/country_tags/*.txt

@rose heath

[keen parrot]

locale file

i think

[rose heath]

i do have done this already though

one of the focuses has set_cosmetic_tag = POL_ZADRUGA

and this works with the color but not the name or the flag

[sour sable]

what's the focus code?

[sour sable]

could be an indentation error

[solemn wing]

is there anyone who is good at modding that could make a mod where you can change your puppets goverment? like change conscription laws ect..

[limber ridge]

Is there a way to edit my saved game mods? I started a game with some unit insignia mods that I realized were the wrong faction I wanted and want to change it.

[raw lodge]

wow, the time zone here is different from there

Here in South America and much further in the past

[uneven jasper]

I'm tryin to simply reuse cuba's land division file atm for a country though the units are not showing up in the country or in the templates, and I directed the divisions to spawn in the countries province

I can give the file if it would help to know

[uneven jasper]

still can't figure out why it won't show up, is there some additional file im missing besides the basic setup or??

[proper acorn]

how do i make ai UK secure no country

[digital heart]

Shouldn’t be a problem to swap aesthetic mods like that

[dreamy matrix]

np

[humble cedar]

You must go to history/countries/TAG and change the "oob"

I learned yesterday about making divisions spawn on start as well so i had the same problem

For example you must change the history/units/CUB, check the name of the file

And then go to history/countries/TAG and if there is no "oob" just add it into the txt file like for example

"oob = CUB"

Smth like that

I hope this helps!!

[dreamy matrix]

nice

:3

[humble cedar]

Don't forget Savoy and Upper Savoy

For greater italy borders

[dreamy matrix]

@humble cedarbro do u wanna join us :3

[stuck quarry]

Criticism is an amazing thing ngl, its surprising hard to get actual criticism im happy i finally got some lol

Tho im really grateful this person actually gave their opinion on things they thought didnt work well, since most criticism i get is like “no content bro” “wheres the mod” “theres nothing here”

[humble cedar]

Join what exactly?

[warm pasture]

Hm.... communist Germany is probably what they'd think

[summer lotus]

what if nobody won WW1?

[timber zenith]

something probably

[long vortex]

Can someone link me a mod that makes the game font not gete blurry with UI scaling?

[humble cedar]

Probably a stalemate

[sour sable]

that's not an answer

[sour sable]

honestly depends, did it go on for as long as otl but end in a white peace, or drag on for much longer?

[summer lotus]

The year is 1934, and the Great War rages on.

Few have come to live without knowing the many who have lost their lives, yet most do not remember, as one may ask of what difference is there between a man he knows and one who he does not?

Even after claiming the lives of over a hundred million people, two decades have long since passed by despite every ounce of effort not only on the battlefield but also in diplomatic measures. The world is exhausted, and its war-torn, deprived people seek naught but a peace from the broken, fragmented political landscape.

In Germany, the societal structure has been eroded by years of constant hunger - for food, and for the ultimate survival. Despite its diminishing power, however, the support for the war has never waned as it is in the belief of its people that it has always been the fault of the French and the British that the world has gone mad. On the other hand, the hawks within the General Staff and the Civil Servants are being replaced by Wilhelm III, a man whom few could have expected to have grown into a compassionate, peace-loving, coward fool, having returned from the frontline only after nineteen years long to take the crown following the passing of his father. Only a few more weeks, and the doves within the German government may have their way with its politics with a shred of constraint. But the idea of embarking on another doomed diplomatic manoeuvre for peace? When such only serves to bring the German Empire to its knees? Such mad idea has no place in the Heimat.

Meanwhile, in the British Empire and the French Republic, the call for independence from the subjects of their vast territories only grows stronger as the day goes by, having culminated in what is by now known as the Popular Alliance of Asia and Africa, an organisation that threatens the integrity of the empires. To make the matter worse, they shall no longer accept any false concession, having suffered costly casualties in the Battle of Bastogne in 1929 where colonial troops were sacrificed as fodder without a second thought, as an act of desperation by their masters. Memories are fresh, and they need only a few more years... George V knows not what may be done - but Prince Edward of York has a brilliant plan; after all, the imperial subjects are not covered by any convention nor law of war, as long as the world does not know.

In America, and in the United States, where civilians should have been able to live the happiest life in this war of worlds, bickering between the Democrats and their opposition is at a new height, a theatre on its own, one that is fought with the might of the pens and words. Most importantly, however, is the abuse of power by the Department of War, which over the last twenty years have garnered more than mere seals of approval to further consolidate autocratic power into their hands, seeking to put an end to all commitment by the US in the Great as well as its own democracy.

And as though God has planned only to laugh at effort of the Entente, its alliance with Japan has broken down over the Shanghai crisis, with the Central KMT Government of China under Chiang Kai-Shek now seeking support from the emerging power of Japan to aid in its unification of mainland China.

Nonetheless, these struggles fail to compare to the threat from Eastern Europe.

A new dawn will soon arrive over the sky of the Soviet Republics of Russia- for it has been the one sole victor throughout this Great War, for it has lived on as the only state to have fulfilled its original goal. Factions in Russia once again convene, and a single name is whispered.

Russia and its republics alone was not enough - Trotsky desires for much more. And his first steps are the Eastern Bulwark of the Central Powers which they had willingly ceded for further support in the Civil War.

In the time of apocalyptic destruction across the Old World - how may anything appeals to the populace better than the word "revolution"?

[sour sable]

ooh love good writing

okay so looks like the war clearly dragged on

is this like a frozen war mod or did it end much later than otl

[summer lotus]

nah honestly a mod like this would probably get heated after the first year

or like

from the start

I mean, you would be starting the game at war

with all the inhumane weapons being flung at one another

one may only dread to imagine what new invention will serve to end the lives of thousands - a few more, at least, for by then we would have grown used to such notion

[long vortex]

Can someone link me a mod that makes the game font not gete blurry with UI scaling?

[obtuse condor]

Taking a flag from wikipedia and making it big medium and small took like 15 seconds

Adding flags is easy

Ctrl a Ctrl c and Ctrl v

[sour sable]

yeah it's pretty easy

literally the only difficult thing about them is giving them the right size and putting them in the right folder

[obtuse condor]

And that requires a quarter of a brain

Tbh

[sour sable]

real

[obtuse condor]

Cane wait to put Galicia lodomeria and bukovina in the scenarios

Since I have now added them

1789 and 1800

[timber zenith]

It likely doesn't exist

[long vortex]

wtf? why is there several for EU4 but not for HOI4? how am i supposed to play when the hud is so tiny?!

[timber zenith]

I've never had an issue with blurriness at higher ui scales

[long vortex]

well i do 😰

[obtuse condor]

The Prince-Archbishopric Salzburg is going to fulfill some of my held back devious and somewhat abhorrent more or less freakish fantasies

The shape of Salzburg is just too perfect

[sour sable]

what mod are you making?

[long vortex]

@timber zenith what i mean is just a font mod that doesnt blur when ui scale is up

[obtuse condor]

I'm just adding allot of scenarios

• a little 1936 content

1230 different states

[sour sable]

ooh

[timber zenith]

Idk man, I just wanted to put you out of your misery

[obtuse condor]

Some map painting decisions added to the form the Reichskommisariats focus

And 4 scripted peace deals for Germany if they put the soviets at 80% capitulation

If I actually put effort into the mod and add like 50 more European releasables and some more map painting decisions for Germany uk china yugo etc and release it on March maybe my mod will quite being stagnant at around 325-375 subs

[inner stratus]

guys how do i get this mod to work ?https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2916560987

[sour sable]

march is quite ambitious

[obtuse condor]

I have allot of free time

Currently adding the 20 new nations to the old scenarios

In the state files

(Salzburg massa Lucca modena Parma Vendee Venice Trieste fiume banat szekelyland wallachia Bukovina Carpathian Ukraine west Ukraine Galicia lodomeria Krakow posen bohemia moravia)

To be fair all the content for these countries will just be maybe unique names for the neutral parties

[timber zenith]

Is it not working? like crashing?

[inner stratus]

not working

it's still normal speed

[timber zenith]

what are you expecting it to do

[sour sable]

the title says very speed

clearly it means make it faster

[inner stratus]

make the game faster

[timber zenith]

at 5 speed?

[inner stratus]

yeah

[timber zenith]

5 speed is already the fastest it can be, it's capped by your computer hardware

all that mod is doing is increasing the speeds of the other 4 speeds

and also increasing the days of lag it takes to lower speed in multiplayer

[uneven jasper]

oooh alrighty sweet thanks!

[uneven jasper]

ik I deleted my new question earlier but for some reason my national focus won't change its name even tho ive done the stuff needed in the english localisation folder and ive reloaded the focuses

nvm just had to relaunch the game lol

[obtuse condor]

The countries i made don't have any available division templates

How do I fix this?

And give them some

How do I make a template thats just basic guns?

[proper acorn]

I'm making a mod to translate Kaiserreich into Portuguese, but when I went to check the Black Monday decisions I realized that there's no background for Kaiserreich, what's the mistake?

[stuck quarry]

Is there a way to programmatically check is the player owns any neighboring states to one specified

So like i do something like:
106:owns_neighboring_state
And it returns yes if i own any

[wanton holly]

You can use something like this:
if = { limit = { 123 = { any_neighbor_state = { is_owned_by = ROOT #(or TAG of a country you want) } } } set_country_flag = xxx #(flags are simply true or false) }

[stuck quarry]

Awesome, ill try that, thank you

Hopefully thatll work so i dont have to hand code all the state ids into my decisions requirements

[humble cedar]

did it help you?

[uneven jasper]

Yes totally thank uuuuu :3

[humble cedar]

np!

i had the same issue

like

3 days ago

while making my mod

[uneven jasper]

Ahh lolz

[humble cedar]

im still tryna figure out how to make planes spawn

what does it mean by "version_name" i wonder.

And i have just realised.

i probably have to add "creator = GRE as well

[proper acorn]

Anybody know?

[humble cedar]

These errors don't even make sense

it doesn't understand the unit tags but it still spawns them

[worldly veldt]

Just curious, anyone know of any starcraft 2 mods for hoi4?

[humble cedar]

actually if anyone could explain the errors, I would appreciate that

[obtuse condor]

Anyone help?

[onyx yew]

Hey there, i was wondering if there was any modder here that could help me with making my own mod, just some advice.

[humble cedar]

Im not really experience but i think i can help you

what is it about?

[humble cedar]

the states probably don't have the provinces in them

[onyx yew]

i'd like to create a custom map for my mod, but all the tutorial videos use old versions

[humble cedar]

custom map as in like, a whole different world and such?

[onyx yew]

yes, and i even managed to do that, the map was created and all, the problem is, when i tried to customize the states, it glitched

(in debug mode)

[humble cedar]

glitched like what?

[onyx yew]

glitched like, they kept name of old states, wouldn't save, changed names to like "state_100", and when i tried to move a province to another state, it said it was moved, but the visual borders showed it was still in the original one

[humble cedar]

did you make a localisation file?

to rename all the states ?

[onyx yew]

not sure what that is tbh

[humble cedar]

ah, there's our issue for the name of old states.

go to your mod folder and create

a new folder named "localisation"

in "localisation" make a new folder named "english"

and in english you must copy the state_names_l_english.yml folder from the hoi4 files

let me send it to you

one sec

[sour sable]

if you're making a complete overhaul (i.e. a custom map), you could just make that file yourself

[humble cedar]

note that he said they they kept the name of old states

[sour sable]

ah

[humble cedar]

and some were simply named "state_100"

[sour sable]

in which case ignore what I said and copy the base game

[sour sable]

check there's a localisation for state_100

[humble cedar]

there's a localisation for every state till

938?

i think?

[onyx yew]

and what if, let's say, i want to delete states?

[humble cedar]

well, since you want to delete states

[onyx yew]

since my mod was a huge version of italy, and every city province was a state

[humble cedar]

in this case you'll probably have to

[sour sable]

i'm aware, but given he said he made a custom map he may have not added one

[humble cedar]

either create a new states folder, or reuse the hoi4 states folder and reuse it from there

I would personally go with the 2nd option

and just delete the states which I wouldn't require

[onyx yew]

yeah it seems alot easier

[humble cedar]

to find the states folder

you must

[sour sable]

note that every state id needs to be in the game

[humble cedar]

create/go to the "history" folder

create/go to the "states" folder

and paste all the hoi4 states in there

and delete the ones you do not need

[sour sable]

you can't just delete the state files, you have to keep every single one of them in numerical order

[humble cedar]

wait fr?

oh yeah right

mb

[sour sable]

i suggest you just start from scratch

like

go up from 1 again

to avoid missing one state id

[onyx yew]

yeah i'll just delete from the last one until i reach the desired number of states

[sour sable]

that works

[humble cedar]

that is basically what i was explaining

[digital heart]

Are you talking about modding new states or modifying existing ones?

[onyx yew]

more like, making custom ones

[humble cedar]

StarJack wants to make an Italian states/provinces mod

and he had a couple of questions so me and swift101 are helping him

or at least trying to

[onyx yew]

nono i think i got it

[humble cedar]

forgot to mention he wants only italy to be part of the map

[onyx yew]

whenever i get home, i'll try it, and send a screenshot if it breaks again

[digital heart]

Yeah for state modding I would recommend doing it in the files and using the nudger for the buildings in the new states, keeping in mind you need to copy paste the nudger files into your mod

[sour sable]

nudger is really fiddly

[humble cedar]

if you remember, ping me if possible

[onyx yew]

i will, thank you

[humble cedar]

cause i ussualy only check here to see if my own problems get solved XD

im still tryna figure out how to make planes spawn on game-start xd

[sour sable]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Country_creation#Order_of_battle

[humble cedar]

order of battle was so confusing at the start

i've already got it set up

but the planes just won't spaw

the equipment variants spawn just fine

the planes themself don't appear

no matter, i will figure it out eventually

[onyx yew]

ah sorry again, one thing i did was, (and prolly the one who broke everything) i changed the state names using nudge tool

[digital heart]

You do know these are cancelled out of the code right?

[humble cedar]

what exactly do you mean?

OHHHHHH

[digital heart]

The # in front of a code will make it so the engine doesn’t read it

[onyx yew]

and i did NOT create a separate file for the mod, so what happened is, when i deactivated the mod, all the states were messed up in the original game aswell, so i had to uninstall and reinstall HOI4

[humble cedar]

OH MY GOD IM AN IDIOT

[humble cedar]

i realised that the moment i said "what exactly do you mean"

god, im such an idiot sometimes lol

[digital heart]

Happens to the best of us

[humble cedar]

so in theory

it should work now

great.

[onyx yew]

@humble cedar was it this?

[humble cedar]

wrong person, i was just about to reply to u xd

[digital heart]

In theory yeah lmao

[onyx yew]

wrong ping 👺

[humble cedar]

and yes, most likely that's what broke it

because when you interact with the nudger tool

the files remain in the hoi4 files

C:\Users\user\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV

[onyx yew]

so is there a way to use nudger tool, to modify the mod files?

[humble cedar]

pretty sure the nudger tool is only used for like

[onyx yew]

would make it a lot easier to shape the states the way i want

[humble cedar]

making states

and some other stuff

[humble cedar]

well to shape the states the way you want

you must change the provinces

in the map

[onyx yew]

well yeah, but then, when i first see the map, the states are randomly generated

[humble cedar]

@digital heart srry for the ping
Do i have everything ready?

[onyx yew]

so i wan to assign provinces to states, in order to give them the shape

[humble cedar]

It's only the 3 files i need right?

[humble cedar]

if you don't want to move the provinces, you could either

attach the provinces on your own by editing the states

[digital heart]

I honestly don’t know sorry, I’ve never done air/navy OOB before

[humble cedar]

or using the nudger tool which sometimes leads to a bit of bug

[humble cedar]

ah, understandable

the armenian oob wasn't working before, so i doubt it will work now.

unless if it's because i didn't give the armenians the technology...

[onyx yew]

@humble cedar Sorry for the ping, btw, for the map i used MapGen V2.2

should i use anything else?

[humble cedar]

not so sure

i don't really make custom maps

[ruby trout]

`` focus = {
id = SHL_navy
icon = GFX_goal_generic_construct_naval_dockyard
x = 7
y = 0
cost = 5

    completion_reward = {
     58= {
            add_extra_state_shared_building_slots = 2
            add_building_construction = {
                type = dockyard
                level = 2
                instant_build = yes
            }
        }
      }

    relative_position_id = SHL_start_army
}

}
``

I can not get my focus to build a dockyard, can someone explain to me how to do it? Thanks

[obtuse condor]

How to fix this

[humble cedar]

you just add the provinces you want into the state

and if the provinces you want to put in it are occupied

go to the state which posseses this province

and remove it

[obtuse condor]

When i click in the states the game crash

[humble cedar]

nice

[onyx yew]

maybe making a whole map overhaul as first mod is abit too extreme, i tried it again but this time debug wouldn't even bother opening 😭

[digital heart]

Definitely don;t make a map overhaul for your first mod

start with the basics and work your way up

[onyx yew]

well, i still have a chance to make a good mod, look at Kaiserreich, and they didn't overhaul the map

[digital heart]

Basic state modding is fine, as long as you know how to export the nudger files into your mod

[proper acorn]

Anyone

[eager shell]

Which mod has the old time empires in it

[sour sable]

nudger is always really confusing

i like to just code it directly and using VSC extensions to visualise the map, which could be easier

[proper acorn]

anyone

[worn girder]

any great mods I can play?

[long vortex]

does anyone have a font mod that doesnt blur when you increase UI scale?

[balmy rapids]

Hey, I want to set a variable on startup, but I have no idea in which file I should include this, any help?:

on_actions = {
on_startup = {
effect = {
set_variable = {
var = my_variable
value = 100
tooltip = set_var_to_100_tt
}
}
}
}

[celest dust]

I'm lazy and dont care for performance ending up with all my variables in a history file 😅
But look like you are wanting to go to common/on_action

[balmy rapids]

Did it, forgot to scope but after i put the scope in it worked

ty

[balmy rapids]

Now, I'm trying to make a custom tooltip for remove_effect in a decision, but for some reason HOI4 displays the "id" of what is in localization

that's what I have in localization file

(yes, l_english: is added at the start of the document)

and later the brackets are closed

[digital heart]

Can you show what’s coming up in game?

[balmy rapids]

sure

lemme boot it up

[digital heart]

OH

For the coloring

Pretty sure you need to close it as well with the symbol

I think, its been a while since I’ve done it

[balmy rapids]

changed it, and currently booting up hoi4

[digital heart]

Its like symbol with an exclamation mark to close it or something

[digital heart]

Yeah double check completely that your localization file is set up correctly, it should work fine

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation heres a link to the localization page in case you see something I’m overlooking

[balmy rapids]

You are right something is messed up badly

[digital heart]

Did you find the problem?

[balmy rapids]

currently looking at the quick checklist

[digital heart]

I’d just double and triple check your localization is written correctly, everything else seems fine

[balmy rapids]

btw is this normal?

[digital heart]

It shouldnt be having collisions, check line 796

[balmy rapids]

Got it! Thanks for help!

[balmy rapids]

About variables. I have a variable with a value that is set onstartup to 1600. It's displayed in the description of a decision category, and when certain decision is over I wanted to substract 5 from the 1600. But when the decision ends the number I guess overflows and becomes -13405?

nevermind... It seems to work now?

[obtuse condor]

smash or pass hoi4 mods

[humble cedar]

Kaiserreich and Kaiserredux are a whole modding team

They have different people working on different parts of the mod

You for example, you are only one person so it will take time to develop something nice

[stuck quarry]

Having a team or one person doesnt change a great mod can be developed either way

My mod is being developed by me and one other guy, me doing the “programming” and the other guy doing art and we think we can make a pretty decent product

[pale sparrow]

Im doing a cold war mod solo and I can definitely say I wouldnt recommend it

If only because I cant get enough ideas

[humble cedar]

there was a civil war in greece

from 1946 to 1949

although your start date is probably further than that

[pale sparrow]

Ive already made that civil war

[humble cedar]

oh, nice!

you'll probably have to code in some events for cuba missile crisis

[pale sparrow]

But when I have to make Chinese and Soviet OOB

💀

wikipedia pages of 700 divisions

[humble cedar]

that's going to hurt.

[pallid tundra]

Is 8gb ram and an intel i7 gen 10 enough for kaiserredux

kaiserreich works just fine

[dreamy matrix]

join the mod group,we need more guy join us to finish the mod :3

Can someone link me a font mod that doesn't get blurry when you increase UI scale?

[onyx yew]

i'll be glad to spend some time on making a good mod

one thing i noticed is... there was this post apocalypse america mod

and all the state fonts and texture were different

i wonder how to do that, to decorate my mod aswell

[dreamy matrix]

@onyx yewhello

do u wanna join me :3

I with some friend are making a alternative history mod

[onyx yew]

oh man i'd love to, but i plan on making my own, it's an alternate history too, but sci fi

[dreamy matrix]

well

[onyx yew]

what's your mod about?

might get interested

[dreamy matrix]

about germany was not win in 1871 like history,france army got a victory in sedan and germany win the world war I

[onyx yew]

no but, thanks anyway

[obtuse condor]

Would it make sense to make the east xikang Yunnan border impassable?

Like the arunachal xikang border?

I made the Xinjiang Tibet border impassable and half of the xibei sån ma Tibet border impassable

I want to make Nepal Bhutan Tibet Afghanistan Xinjiang xibei sån ma harder to navigate

Hmmm wondering if the mountainous provinces in northern vietnam that border mountainous provinces in Yunnan and guangxi should be impassable

[summer lotus]

that would make a whole bunch of terrain in China impassable

well, the reason those terrains were passable and were historically popular choice for a battlefield was thanks to about 6 different passes from which the invading army may enter Vietnam or vice versa

it wasn't any harder to cross than Southern Balkan or Northern Greece

however, there is a particular area west of northern vietnam where 1930s infrastructure would be terribly underdeveloped

[obtuse condor]

So it was just underdeveloped

[summer lotus]

nah, there was one part of it that was really bad

I think it was a bit north of Dien Bien

high enough to get snow

with rocky cliff and rough gorge

but the border with Chinese territories would be possible to pass

it looks very similar to Greece-Macedonia/Albania border

[obtuse condor]

So just make that province impassable to the two bordering Yunnan provinces?

[summer lotus]

I am not in-game right now so I can't really recall the exact tile but yeah

2-3 tiles are fine

[obtuse condor]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/191407123249233921/1204862815614013500/image0.jpg?ex=65d646f0&is=65c3d1f0&hm=faa50cc3ca06e0881d8fcff8ac3235ced39d7acf6fcecbe9f35ab4a372339cbd&

Do these impassable lands i have added make sense?

Southern/Western Afghanistan south east Nepal Bhutan western/northern Tibet

[summer lotus]

this particular part was historically passable

this mountain range was meanwhile not

so they historically used the route north/south of it

but yeah considering province size it makes sense of TIB-SIK border to be impassable there

wouldn't make much difference

but the entrance south of it was passable

forgot which branch of the Chinese army was based in the area but it did happen

[obtuse condor]

Are there any other areas in china that may be impassable too?

Taklamakan desert? Gobi desert? Yunnan east xikang border?

[summer lotus]

well, historically the desert was passable but armies preferred only a few corridors to move around

but such terrain did not quite impede their ability to wage war by 1930s anyway

since some tiles are pretty big I'd say it makes sense to keep it as is

[obtuse condor]

Yeah I might just make that tiny Yunnan Tibet border impassable then that should be it

or atleast, just a map of Europe and Asia

since my mod is going to modify africa

[humble cedar]

does anybody know if there is like a program which helps with making mods?

[worldly timber]

the official guide (which you sent) says that it embeds automatically

[timber zenith]

That's for steam store pages

like dlc and stuff

[digital heart]

Theres a couple online but they’re super outdated and buggy, I’d recommend just using software like SublimeText to make coding and reading it easier

[worldly timber]

so how do I embed it

[timber zenith]

You can't embed like that

[pale bridge]

is there a mod that lets releasing puppets while at war?

[keen cloak]

you can already release them no?

though the puppets will be automatically called into war

[pale bridge]

nope, you can only return the territory

you can release only on peace conference or after it

[keen cloak]

pretty sure you can release countries as puppets, did it with Mongolia thinking they wouldn't be called into the British-Japanese war in my Ironman world conquest

(They were called into the war)

[pale bridge]

i only have the return territory button while at war

[keen cloak]

do you have all the DLCs?

[pale bridge]

even when they capitulate

[pale bridge]

yes

[keen cloak]

wack

so long as an enemy isn't occupying the territory of the country you want to release, you should be able to release it

I released Mongol Empire the second the Japanese declared war on me, right before they called Mengkukuo and Manchukuo

[pale bridge]

maybe thats why

[keen cloak]

probably

if the enemy occupies even a single province of the country you wish to release (that you control the states of), you won't be able to release them

[pale bridge]

not this, just that you occupied it before it declared war on you

[keen cloak]

nah, I owned the Mongolian states already from capitulating USSR. When Japan declared on me, I didn't have the divisions to the border so I released Mongolia to try to clog their advance but it kinda didn't matter

[pale bridge]

oh you had it from different war?

[keen cloak]

yeah

[pale bridge]

that explains it then

[keen cloak]

British-Soviet war

British-Japanese war started when Japan declared on me over Indonesian colony

[pale bridge]

you cant release puppets while in war with allies of some country

[keen cloak]

yeah you won't be able to release them if you don't own the states UNLESS you built compliance

[pale bridge]

like youre in war with british as germany, you completely capitulate poland and you wont be able to release puppet unless peace conference

[keen cloak]

if you built compliance on a country, you'll be able to release the country as a provisional government once you control their states entirely

though I don't know if it'll be the country itself but it 100% is a thing if that country has cores for other countries in them

[pale bridge]

yeah the only way while at war with allies of it (currently)

i want a mod that lets you do that without the peace conf or compliance

[humble cedar]

they won't be called into the long as long as they have been released BEFORE a war.

[keen cloak]

yeah I know I just forgor

Ah alrighty, was just curious, thank you!

            modifier = {
                factor = 0.5
                any_enemy_country = {

                }
            }
        }
    }

I just added a line to the vanilla event

CHI = {
add_ideas = CHI_war_of_resistance
}

CHI_war_of_resistance = {

            picture = chi_chinese_unity
    
            available = {
                has_war = no
            }

            allowed_civil_war = {
                always = yes
            }

            removal_cost = -1
            
            modifier = {
                surrender_limit=0.3
            }
        }

here is the idea

[summer lotus]

Wait, why a surrender limit idea that is available only during peace time?

[errant mural]

Just adding that for debug

So its easy to see if the national spirit actually appears

[summer lotus]

Just type debug in console then reload save to see if it returns weird stuffs in log

Could have been a hidden idea by mistake as well

[errant mural]

It does not log any error just by running the event/reloading the game

[humble cedar]

Will make sure to check it out, thank you!

[urban gust]

ok

thanks

[humble cedar]

Oh that sounds usefull

[humble cedar]

Good, now delete the french

[urban gust]

i gave france a new focus tree but i dont see it in fran ce

[humble cedar]

is the focus tree folder in

common\national_focus\france.txt

[urban gust]

so do i just overwrite it

[humble cedar]

what do you mean by "overwrite it"

[urban gust]

renaming it to france.txt

[humble cedar]

oh

probably?

[urban gust]

i think i know what went wrong

[humble cedar]

i mean, my greek and turkish focuses are like

"greece.txt" and "turkey.txt"

so it should probably be "france.txt"

[urban gust]

uh how am i suppose to change my focus

it doesnt work

oh

do i need to replace

the whole

[humble cedar]

you might be missing some brackets

[urban gust]

do i need to restart for my focuses to tak eplace

[humble cedar]

can you send the file?

[urban gust]

cuz now i just see 954493530 errors of the same focus

[humble cedar]

no, they automatically just restart

[urban gust]

i just copied the france national focus

into my mod

how do i overwrite

[humble cedar]

well the national focus is indeed named "france.txt"

[urban gust]

well now the focus work

[humble cedar]

you should have placed it in common\national_focus\france.txt

[humble cedar]

well that's good then

[urban gust]

i think i need to restart my client for it to take place

idk why

i think it works now

how do i see the error messages

[humble cedar]

i personally open up notepad

and the error logs are automatically there

because i have set my game to launch in -debug mode

[urban gust]

how do i give it a name

instead of id

[urban gust]

is there a way to give weekly stability for 365 days

i only know how to give it stability for the 365 days

is it stability_weekly = 0.0025

[pale bridge]

unsubscribed and subscribed to it again
i purged all files relating to it and subscribed again
i unsubscribed, uninstalled my game, reinstalled my game subscribed
nothing
i created a new mod
copied everything from the toolpack into it (including the god-forsaken descriptor file)
and it works
how is this even...
what is this
how is this

[pale sparrow]

Its an issue with the launcher

See pins in #tech-support

[calm yew]

shouldnt uninstalling and reinstalling the game theoretically fix that?

[pale sparrow]

No

Because the launcher sucks

Try:
-Uninstall mod
-Wait for it to be uninstalled
-Open launcher
-Close launcher
-Reinstall

[calm yew]

should i remove it from the playset before doing it?

because it didnt work

[pale sparrow]

no

[calm yew]

still nothing

ok, i cleared my cache and followed the steps and i guess it worked

[uneven jasper]

I'm Just fiddling around with it right now but how do you make decisions fire after a focus? Cause I want a decision to fire for an ultimatum for parts of Czechoslovakia

Decisions are fired manually by the player/ai, do you mean make the decision available to be selected after a focus is completed?

how to fix

why does FasFrance.1.b not exist

[urban gust]

fixed it

where do i make new news events

[urban gust]

what command creates factions

[timber zenith]

Depends on the mods

[obtuse condor]

what kinda mod is it

[stuck quarry]

getting the positions for every state for this counrty is going to take a while

[obtuse condor]

idk

[urban gust]

how do i turn france fascist at the start of the game (like when the game loads france is fascjist)

[sour sable]

in history/countries/FRA.txt

    ruling_party = fascism
    last_election = "1932.11.8"
    election_frequency = 48 # Every 4 years
    elections_allowed = yes
}```

[proven sable]

Basically I want to make a bunch of multiplayer balance mods. I'll make sure they don't modify the same lines of code but they will modify the same files

[urban gust]

how to remove demilitarized zone

[sour sable]

remove the set_demilitarized_zone effect in the state's history file

[twilit hatch]

create_faction = [factionnome]

[urban gust]

is there a way to make some focuses invisible

[raw lodge]

hehe

[barren oak]

guys why are you using VS code

just use notepad++

its not even real code

its JSON

[pale bridge]

because theres an extension for it that highlights the code and shows errors

[barren oak]

edge.hoi4modding.com

It will generate localization for you, is user friendly, and makes things so much easier

[pale bridge]

theres no problem with localization

[barren oak]

for beginners

i dont use it anymore

[pale bridge]

i mean the hoi4 code itself

[barren oak]

THATS NOT CODE

ITS JSON

[pale bridge]

no its not json

[barren oak]

IT LITERALLY IS JSON

[pale bridge]

look how json looks or works

[barren oak]

IF YOU WANT REAL CODE, DECOMPILE THE CLAUSEWITZ ENGINE AND EDIT THE SRC CODE

[pale bridge]

does it have condition checking

[barren oak]

looks the exact same way

[pale bridge]

does it have loops

[barren oak]

yes

and it also does have loops

[pale bridge]

where does json have condition checking

json is just "a": x

[barren oak]

Use the SQL/JSON condition JSON_EXISTS to test whether a specified JSON value exists in JSON data

pdxscript or what they call it doesnt have condition checking

[pale bridge]

its sql not json

[barren oak]

read the other part

SQL/JSON means SQL or JSON

[pale bridge]

i dont get what youre saying

[barren oak]

cause you dont know anything

[pale bridge]

i do

[barren oak]

if you are not qualified to speak on the matter, don't speak on it

cause PDXScript is a modified version of JSON

[pale bridge]

ok nerd

[barren oak]

end of story

[pale bridge]

is it easier to do anything with error highlighting or without it

[barren oak]

your only excuse is to insult

proves that you dont know anything

[pale bridge]

im not insulting lmao

[barren oak]

i wonder how you will make it through life like this

[barren oak]

and your blocked

[pale bridge]

you literally said that im dumbass a second ago

what a person

thanks world he blocked me

[timber zenith]

Yeah hoi4's lang is definitely not Jason lol

[timber zenith]

Vs code has a very helpful hoi plugin

[barren oak]

it is a modified form of JSON

[pale bridge]

dont even try to argue with him, no reason with that only time loss

[timber zenith]

Idk if you've looked at Json before or not but it does not look sinilar

And the Clausewitz engine is C++ iirc

[timber zenith]

Yeah you're probably right

[pale bridge]

only similarity i can see is x = y style

[timber zenith]

And it looks somewhat similar to localisation

Barely tho

[stuck quarry]

Ah yes json which uses booleans is the same as hoi4 which uses yes/no

Makes legitimate

[raw lodge]

yep.

[daring nimbus]

x = y
y = undefinied
solution fixed

[cinder creek]

I was trying to make new states for a mod and I accidently broke my game can anyone help me reset the map?

[barren oak]

stfu

ur a dumbass who knows nothing

[pale bridge]

ur only excuse is to insult

[barren oak]

@pale bridge you said nothing to disprove your point

[pale bridge]

you didnt either

[barren oak]

i did but apparently you are just blind

and cant see it

[obtuse condor]

[rose heath]

i uploaded a mod to steam workshop and it suddenly doesn't work

neither the version i had nor the steam workshop one change anything

even though i did not touch the files

i had to move it to a different folder before uploading and idk if it's like preventing plagiatrism or something

i changed number of code, and then changed it back, and it works

if i didn't want to check a stupid thing i wouldn't notice that the mod doesn't work

because i did work before i uploaded it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3158187235

anyway here's the mod

[obtuse condor]

Is it possible to delete divisions in later scenarios in a countries history file?

[timber zenith]

Send your code

[cinder creek]

I accidently broke my game trying to make new states can anyone help me reset the map?

[timber zenith]

Delete the state files

that you made/modified

[cinder creek]

where would that be?

[timber zenith]

Well it should be in your mod

[cinder creek]

I dont think I ported it right because I cant play the base game

[timber zenith]

It sounds like it's still in documents/pdx/hoi4

Are you recruiting the character in the country's history file?

No worries

[cinder creek]

I cant find that on my PC

[timber zenith]

documents/paradox interactive/hearts of iron IV

[cinder creek]

I still cannot find it

[timber zenith]

The documents folder?

[cinder creek]

yeah

[timber zenith]

Are you on windows?

[cinder creek]

yeah

[timber zenith]

It should be listed in the side bar of file explorer

Or in the root directory of your main drive

[cinder creek]

I just found it

do I delete the state file?

[urban gust]

isn’t hoi4 code C++

but they use this funny bot to read our text and turn it to c++

[ember valve]

May I ask, which mod gives you Toolpack when you're host but nobody else get IT?

[flat rover]

I've made a sub mod and after this 1.13.7 patch it now doesn't load correctly with the main mod

I'm struggling to understand why this is even occurring 😭

[urban gust]

how do i change brief history thing

how am i suppose to use the allow_branch

ok

i undertsand now

[stuck quarry]

any reason why replace path might not be working for state histories

im trying to add all provinces from state 934 to state 44, so i added all the state history files to my mod, then deleted state 934 and added its provinces to 44, then added replace_path="history/states" to make sure the vanilla states dont load but italy still owns this state, any ideas?

[obtuse condor]

is there any way to make/add MORE Conscription laws

[timber zenith]

Add the replace path to the other descriptor file as well

[stuck quarry]

i thought it automatically got added when you reloaded

ill try that rq

[timber zenith]

Delete the history, map and localisation folders

[stuck quarry]

yup that worked, thanks!

[timber zenith]

Dope, no problem

[urban gust]

allow_branch = {
if = {
fascism > 0.15}

i gave myself 20 party popularity

but i dont see it

i only see it when i refresh my focus tree

is there a way to not need to refresh my focus tree

by refreshing i mean ctrl s in vscode

[stuck quarry]

developing go brrrr

[pale sparrow]

No

[urban gust]

so i can’t do a secret branch

[pale sparrow]

Oh wait

In that case there is

You need to have an effect/on action somewhere that refreshes the tree

[urban gust]

huh

[rose heath]

i deleted the mod file because i saw no reason to update the mod because it did everything it was supposed to

but i forgot that it shows the wrong version now

i assume i don't have any way of updating it to the latest version now

[timber zenith]

Woah how are u making a state GUI like that

Looks dope

[twilit hatch]

this is lightning effect screen and

i cant found lightning effect ring

where is it?

photoshop 2021 version

[cinder creek]

I know you can through civil war but I assume that’s not what you mean

[twilit hatch]

bruh

[jolly mural]

mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty

[cinder creek]

thank you this worked

your a life saver

[urban gust]

thanks

wait

so how do i use this

is there a way to make focuses be completed again and again

[jolly mural]

hmm? completed again and again? this makes the game refresh the focus layout, what do u actually want to do?

[urban gust]

nvm

how do i change the color of localisation text

like for example the rhineland custom tooltips is red

but my localisation text is white

[jolly mural]

§RText§!

[urban gust]

also how do i edit the brief history part in country selection

for some reason it works now

i did this but it didnt add fascist popularity

how do i make news events

is there a way to just change the code that the desc has
