modding

[urban gust]

like changing the code

[cinder creek]

yeah I know I just said that bc that should be proof that you can do it

I think some where in the russian files theres something like that

like 3 random generals get cowed by stalin

[oak kayak]

How does one correctly put the decisions into the BOP UI? I cannot put it inside for some reason, the BOP appears but the decisions are missing

[urban gust]

where is the brief history thing edited

like

which file

[humble cedar]

rip greece :c

[oak kayak]

yeah, but the category doesn't show up?

I assigned decisions to the category, and I guess something is wrong with the category

as everything is missing

everything is ok now, I am a dumbass and accidentally put an additional "s" at the end of the folder

[timber zenith]

Did you create a category in the decisions category folder

nvm

I didn't see ur last comment lol

[barren oak]

im trying to create an Endsieg mod

but it crashes on startup

i dont even see the window appear

[timber zenith]

Are you launching it in debug mode?

[timber zenith]

And are you starting from scratch or using the original endseig files?

[obtuse condor]

hello everyone
i work for mod and if someone wants to join for help my mod , they can dm me

[stuck quarry]

Alot of patience and masochism

[stuck quarry]

Goodbye earth

Lol

[timber zenith]

I know how to make scripted gui but how did you include state images?

[stuck quarry]

Theyre just images

I found the province file in the hoi4 source, combined all provinces in a state into one color, extracted it to its own image, then added it to the game

[timber zenith]

that's dope

Imma try something like that lol

(genocide gui)

[lucid stag]

how do i do this

[stuck quarry]

Lol, i also scaled up every state by 200% then removed one pixel from the border so i could have the gap between states

But itll be a pain bc i gotta do this same process for every country in my mod

[timber zenith]

Why using irony mod manager?

[lucid stag]

so its easier to install more than one mod

[stuck quarry]

Is that some kinda old way to play with mods?

[timber zenith]

It's a custom launcher

[stuck quarry]

Oh

[timber zenith]

You can just launch the game with multiple mods using the default launcher

[lucid stag]

no like to make sure it doesnt conflict

its easier with this

[timber zenith]

I used to use IMM to launch multiple copies of hoi4 at once but I found out you could just do that by opening the launcher exe in the install folder

[stuck quarry]

a fellow activate windows user

[timber zenith]

and it took so bloody long to load

[sterile hill]

Hell yeah got activate Windows on my main pc (not the laptop Im sending this from though)

[stuck quarry]

lmao

its so annoying having it tho

bc i have a valid windows key

but i changed my gpu, and now i cant reactivate windows because it says i dont have one anymore

AAAAAAAH THE PAIN

wish there was a way for guis to live update without having to return to the menu and reload

[sterile hill]

Same with me man I literally have 2 genuine windows installs on my pc

[timber zenith]

shit live updates for me

[stuck quarry]

bruh

i gotta return to the main menu then relaunch

for it to update

[timber zenith]

u on debug mode?

[stuck quarry]

yup

idk if its because its in the decisions tab or what

i think it might be

[timber zenith]

idk my gui is in the decisions tab too

[stuck quarry]

hm damn idk

sucks to be me ig lol

it just makes the process of positioning all the states super tedious because its all guessing

another random neato thing i got in my mod

dual leaders

bc yes

[timber zenith]

that's cool

[stuck quarry]

ja

got so much work to do lol

the mod is barely playable, but this kinda happened lol

[timber zenith]

dope

[rose heath]

there is an SCP ideology

[stuck quarry]

Syldavian Centrist Party

[rose heath]

https://tenor.com/view/173-peting-petting-glaskanie-funny-gif-19381581

[stuck quarry]

thats the name for the non alligned party

the ideology of the nations party is Corporatist, which is names Archon Investments Global, which is a corporation that pretty much bought the country through bribery and corruption

[timber zenith]

@stuck quarry You can do reload decision in the console

[stuck quarry]

alr ill try that when i work on the mod later

i tried reload gui and reload other but it didnt work

i figured it would be gui since well is a gui

[barren oak]

yes from scratch

i created a bookmark

got my own GFX

my own ideas

but it crashes

I'm now thinking of just updating Endsieg

[timber zenith]

It's in decisions, I believe gui on its own updates automatically

[stuck quarry]

probably

either way thatll speed up the process a ton

[toxic harness]

When I open a save file or create a new save in Kaiserredux mode, it loads a little and exits the game and returns to the desktop without giving a crash error. If there is a solution, can you advise?

[proven sable]

this is probably a dumb question but is there any way to see the name of techs in game through debug or do I have to search through the game files every time?

[obtuse condor]

I'm 100% hitting the march deadline

60 country localisations and colours will be easily done and 50 flags

[toxic harness]

while loading kicks out of the game. A problem I encountered for the first time

[proven sable]

sorry?

[rose heath]

tfw your mod is turned on and the game just ignores it

like straight up to the point where i can turn on iron man

it doesn't seem like other people have the same problem cuz i got no comments about this

[toxic harness]

To solve the problem of the forum site not opening in kaiserredux mode, the -OpenGL code had to be written, but the same error occurs.

[toxic harness]

(tfw) what exactly is going on

[rose heath]

my mod is clearly turned on

but the game doesn't seem to read it?

it doesn't work and i can still turn on iron man

this is not the first time this happens

43 people subscribed in total and 42 are still subscribed
if the mod did not work for other people i would imagine they would unsubscribe

i'm gonna move the file i used to mak the mod out of the mod folder

and then reinstall the mod

see if that helps

it did help

[toxic harness]

For me, it crashes the game when switching to kaiserredux mode. There is no problem with TFW.

[rose heath]

tfw means "that feeling when"

[toxic harness]

Even though I did what you said it didn't fix it

[timber zenith]

Yoooo it works

[stuck quarry]

you placing all those manually?

[timber zenith]

Yah

Individual buttons

[stuck quarry]

alr, making sure im not doing it the hard way or something lol

[proven sable]

I've made some event spawned troops, is there a way I can lock them so you can't change the templates and/or delete them?

[vagrant gorge]

any mods out there like the old Armageddon/abyss maps from HOI2? Looking for something that has pretty quick war start and forces you to make choices/really balance play

[proper acorn]

how you do this?

[timber zenith]

scripted gui

[proper acorn]

Thx

[timber zenith]

The iron workshop has a good tutorial

[proper acorn]

Ok

[timber zenith]

YAHHHH

ignore the flashing idk why its doing that

same when unpaused

[stuck quarry]

@timber zenith bro literally thank you so much for that tip, what would have taken me over 30 min having to reload has only took me like 5-10 just reloading decisions

[timber zenith]

no worries

[stuck quarry]

ive almost finished the map

[timber zenith]

Nice

[stuck quarry]

then i just have the issue of scripting it

[timber zenith]

You'll prolly have to separate them into separate files

[stuck quarry]

i got a few files, the .gui .gfx and the scripted gui files

[timber zenith]

the image I mean

[stuck quarry]

oh it already is seperate images

[timber zenith]

oh cool

[timber zenith]

I just thought of a genius idea

[stuck quarry]

wot?

[timber zenith]

not telling

nah jk

it's off center but the icons look great

[stuck quarry]

FINALLY

IT BE FINISHED

[stuck quarry]

what did you do to the icons?

like howd you make them look like that

[timber zenith]

A very handy photoshop file

there

[swift fjord]

What is that?

[timber zenith]

Custom GUI of the sudetenland

[swift fjord]

interesting

[stuck quarry]

colorz

[digital heart]

How do you position it within the decision like that?

[timber zenith]

You gotta adjust it by hand, but assign the gui to the decision menu

You see how in the gui modding wiki page

[digital heart]

Do you have the link? If not i can totally find it (mayeb)

[stuck quarry]

Is there a way to make it so you cant justify on a nation?

[digital heart]

Look up the game rules for democracy and you may be able to find the code it uses for justifications

[timber zenith]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Scripted_GUI_modding

[stuck quarry]

not tryna change the justification percent, just straight up make a country unable to be justified upon

ive skimmed the wiki for a while and cant find any way to do so

does on_justifying_wargoal_pulse provide any way to access what country initiated the wargoal?

its not listed here but hoping theres a way

[stuck quarry]

assuming the stateid is 106 and root is SYL, will this translate to the variable 106.SYL_integration_level being set to 3? or so i have this way wrong

or is there some way to do that? its a pretty important thing i need to do, please ping me with any replies

[urban gust]

is it possible to make hoi4 mod with vscode with friends

at the same time

[crimson urchin]

hi im new to hoi4 modding and stuff and a few days ago i had this glitch were all the ingame states renamed themself to the state codes and idk how to fix it

and i could overall use some help with modding

[stuck quarry]

With github yea

If you want everyones changes to sync to everyone at once youd need to constantly push but otherwise everyone can work on different parts of the mod and push their changes to the repo

[stuck quarry]

Like “state_106” instead of the state name? That would be because you replaced the state name localization and dont have all the required ones, or are using a outdated file which doesnt have localization for every state

[crimson urchin]

aha

i was just confused cose one day i just opened up the game and every state was renamed

[stuck quarry]

Yea same, i figured that out after i realized i accidentally overwrote the file lol

Not 100% sure if its the only cause but im pretty sure it is

[crimson urchin]

thx tho

[urban gust]

huh

so how do i do it

can’t i just use the feature on vscode

[stuck quarry]

What feature

[urban gust]

isn’t there like a feature

to share

like work on the same file

at the same time

[stuck quarry]

Uhh not to my knowledge

Might be, but i dont know of one

[urban gust]

ok

thanks

[stuck quarry]

anyone know of any way to have dynamic veriable names

variable*

i have a country specific variable i want to set on states in the game but i dont want to have to hand code every possible combination

idealy id like for it to work like this:
[ROOT]_integration_level to translate into: SYL_integration_level or BDR_integration_level depending on what country is considered root

but it doesnt appear i can use other variables in the naming for variables

[timber zenith]

[random ember]

Someone knows why when the time runs, my game crash ? I has been working with a new focus tree, before do that, my game did not crash

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the focus tree file?

[random ember]

ok

``focus_tree = {

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the file?

makes it much easier

[random ember]

Before that, I also was working with states and provinces

[timber zenith]

Try this instead

[random ember]

ok

[timber zenith]

(replace the other ukr one and change the name)

[random ember]

ok

[random ember]

Thanks

[timber zenith]

no problem

[random ember]

I'm tired, why my focus name doesn't shows correct ? I was 30 mins researching the problem, I review also the folders, I don't understand what is wrong here, the name of the file is goals_I_english.yml

[oak kayak]

How does one actually get the GUI inside the decision tab? I seemingly do everything like on the tutorials, yet nothing shows up at all

[digital heart]

Have you reloaded your game since added it (all I know about gui is relaunching the game to see it updated)

[oak kayak]

multiple times, on multiple occasions

reloaded the game about 20 times now, still nothing

[timber zenith]

Should be an l not an I

L

lower case

[timber zenith]

You need to attach it to the decision scope, in the common/scripted gui file put context_type = decision_category

or replace the existing context type if it exists

[random ember]

In the localisation file, right ?

[timber zenith]

The name of the file yeah

[timber zenith]

Also in your decision category (needs to be in the category) put scripted_gui = scripted_gui_name

and make sure the category is visible to the player

[random ember]

still doesnt't work

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the file?

[timber zenith]

Change the encoding to UTF-8-BOM

possibly

[random ember]

How can i do that ?

[timber zenith]

In notepad++ press encoding in the top bar, and convert

[random ember]

nothing happens

[timber zenith]

Press save and relaunch the game

[random ember]

Ok

[random ember]

YESSS, Thank you so much

[timber zenith]

no problem

https://youtu.be/-VmHlBiRhSU?si=u-D4Bnrmr7k7rJqu

[dim elm]

What’s this?

[obtuse condor]

I'm working on adding 80 nations to Europe

20 finished

60 I'm working on

[dim elm]

Nice

[obtuse condor]

These are the 20 I have added so far

I'm adding all Italian nations 1444-2023 above like 1000km² or about the size of half of Luxemburg

Pisa San Marino Vatican are too small imo

[dim elm]

Very nice slowly but surely getting there

[dim elm]

Are you gonna add papel states

Since Vatican is too small

[obtuse condor]

Yeah I'm adding them

[dim elm]

W

Do you have any tips on how to get better at modding

Cause I’m horrible

[obtuse condor]

Watch a tutorial idk

If you make states you need to do auto in all in all states you have changed with the nudge tool

[timber zenith]

Manage your expectations, start small

[obtuse condor]

I should add characters for all the English kings

Even if they will only have a place holder portrait

[proper acorn]

Any mod ideas?

[sour sable]

reverse engineer it

use the vanilla code

[obtuse condor]

What if the Napoleonic wars turned into a coldwar between Russia and france

[timber zenith]

The stone age

Ez mod

I'm kidding but ppl aren't gonna give away their mod ideas

It's like an entrepreneur giving away the idea for a business

Wdym

[barren oak]

can you help me with what I've written down?

Its not working, please help

[proper acorn]

I just had a good idea, no more suggestions needed

[woven aurora]

How do I disable mods?

Like if I wanna play vanilla

[small fern]

How do you change the manpower for a division?

[small fern]

You can get in the steam workshop

[hoary shuttle]

then disable it the way you enabled it lol

[stuck quarry]

scripted guis are so damn cool, made this one which works with my state integration system to display the status of your states, fades from grey to blue when youre integrating them, and turns red when theres resistance to integration

[manic osprey]

hey, is there a mod with icons for some common variant tanks and maybe aeroplanes? I mean those things in the build screen, when I design a Su-122, I'd like the icon to look like it too... I think it would be a little QL improvement too, so you can see at glance which tanks are which etc. Mainly for the major countries. I know you can choose from a bunch of (weird) alternatives, but most of them look kinda wrong in many cases

[swift fjord]

#boycottdeadmods

Also, why are all the mods that add states to them nowadays ignoring Africa?

[timber zenith]

No content in Africa, not much reason for there to be more states

except for eth and saf ofc

There's also very little state-making infrastructure in Africa, so you'd also have to make heaps of provinces as well

[swift fjord]

Liberia?

[timber zenith]

what are you really gonna do with liberia tho

[dim elm]

is that not outdated?

[random ember]

No, I always do that, and even when is outdated, the creator write it in the comments

[dim elm]

oh okay thanks

[random ember]

You're welcome

Nice

[indigo flax]

anyone know if road to 56 is compatible with formible nations

[woven aurora]

Uhhh it should be

[timber zenith]

It probably works

but will definitely have bugs if it does

[flat trout]

GUYS

i need help

my mod crashes

at exacrly 17:00 jan 1st

nvm

i just bruteforced every single change

and found the problem

[balmy rapids]

How do I effect to a dynamic modifier

[proper acorn]

Why didn't Germany change its name?

[proper acorn]

It was supposed to be Weimar Republic, right?

[barren oak]

is it possible to trade for more than 8 units for 1 factory?
I'm creating a mod and I want base trade to be 10 units for 1 factory
can i edit it through defines, modifiers, effects, etc..

[timber zenith]

Idk

[stone basin]

yo guys is there a mod that makes fascist usa playable?

[dull finch]

probably, yeah

[torpid night]

question: I've been modding Hoi4 a while ago but i now want to play the game again normally, tried to play with Kaiserreich but doesn't work, tried checking file integrity from steam but doesn't do anything, any ideas on what causes this or why?

[dull maple]

Does someone know how to create a new state in the ocean and not just overwrite an existing thing on the map?

[burnt mantle]

try putting "0" after ":", or your file isn't in utf8 bom

nah you shouldn't put 0 after :

check encoding

your localisation file also can load before vanilla's (vanilla loc overwriting yours), so if changing of encoding not helped, try to rename loc filename the way it will be after vanilla's one by alphabet

[median imp]

Hi guys! Can anyone recommend me top 5-10 mods for HOI4?

[random ember]

Kaiserreich
Millenium Dawn
Road to 56
Great war
Darkest hour
Magma Europa(If you have a good pc)
Patria o muerte

[random ember]

Have you used the nudge tool ? Or Maybe, you forgot to put off your mod

[torpid night]

didn't use nudge, and yes my mod is off

[calm yew]

for the life of me i cant figure out how to make my national spirits have images
i already made the whole thing in the interface folder, but it seems like it cant even detect that

the file:

ideas.gfx:

and the idea

for me it looks fine, looked in other mods and vanilla with the exact same structure yet it doesnt work

the spirit shows up in the game with all intended effects, its just the image that is missing

[proper acorn]

what I didn't understand is after the names of Germany I put a character and the game recognized it

it seems that the original game file is overwriting my

[calm yew]

didnt work

you mean replace in both files?

did that

still showed the funny little question mark in-game

right

i removed the idea_ part

and it for some reason worked

im not gonna complain

yes

[summer lotus]

I have an idea

🤔

what if I swap north america and Soviet Union + Nordic countries

[calm yew]

is it idea_aus_defeatism?

[summer lotus]

lol I just came across such a cursed post on facebook where somebody said Churchill had to beg Stalin to join the war in 1941 because Hitler was so close to destroying to US army

totally a timeline where US and SU swapped place

what if I just make it real

Finland can totally be Quebec ngl

and vice versa

[calm yew]

[final tusk]

Hi. Does anyone know how to change the name of the version or where the file to be modified is located?

[random ember]

I think is problem of Kaiserreich, because your mod can't affect Kaiserreich, right?

[torpid night]

don't think so at least, i've modiefied only some states ownership and tried to put the monarchist back in germany, unsuccessfully without breaking the game so i abandoned it

[pale sparrow]

The 0's arent necessary

[pale sparrow]

You can try uninstall/reinstall which works better and faster than verification for HOI

and you can try clearing the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV folder (except the saves folder if you wanna keep those)

[torpid night]

yes it worked!

thanks

[pale sparrow]

[timber zenith]

we're in with the big boys 🥳

[timber zenith]

In steam, right click hoi4 and go to properties > betas > beta participation

Oh wait like the actual name?

Yeah that's prolly hardcoded

[final tusk]

I don't want to change the version.(I create a mod and I would like the version to have a particular name)

example: "My mod is bugged sorry :/ 0.1 [enter checksum]"

[final tusk]

Huh... does that mean I can't modify it?

[timber zenith]

Not that i've seen in any loc file

or could search for

[final tusk]

The problem is that I've already tried to find where the line of code that manages this text is located but I couldn't find it.

[timber zenith]

Same, it probably can't be modified

[final tusk]

Well, I'm going to make my own version text. thanks for the help

[timber zenith]

Good luck

Hi, I got problem with advisors, can somebody help?
I did 3 characters, but if i choose one of them the others will dissapear

[obtuse condor]

It might take a bit of time for someone who knows how to fix the problem sees your message. But I'm sure you'll get help here.

More than I was able to provide anyway.

[timber zenith]

Can you upload your character file?

[woeful tulip]

sure

[obtuse condor]

what version is road to 56

[forest tundra]

It seems to me that it might be because you're missing Idea_token =

advisor={
cost = 150
idea_token = NEK_character_kashou
slot = political advisor
traits = {

        }
    }

Try this

[woeful tulip]

yeah i deleted it

before

because i copied it from german characters so error log told me that himmler and kashou had the same token

can i type here random number or text or something depend on this?

[pallid meteor]

Anyone got some kewl 1700s mods

[slender brook]

There's really only Empires I think. I can't think of any 1700s mods off the top of my head besides that onen

[forest tundra]

Just have it the same as you're character Id, For Example NEK_character_kashou.

[woeful tulip]

ok thank you very much, you are awesome

[proper acorn]

Why doesn't the game recognize German names?

it was supposed to be "República de Weimar" instead of "República Alemã"

i dont think. i just followed a turtorial on youtube. How do i do that. ( i am very new to modding)

No problem men, I don't mind xd

[timber zenith]

What tutorial did you follow? Are you able to send a link?

[dim elm]

https://youtu.be/_NRZrF2Qfro?si=32fvZaBZaTZnCmKN

[timber zenith]

That tutorial is for replacing existing portraits, If you're making a new character you'll have to follow this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKLkI1AGArc

Yes it's an hour long but you mostly need the stuff from the "creating country leaders" section

[dim elm]

ok thanks🙏

[timber zenith]

No worries

[onyx yew]

I've created this new state in japan, but i noticed that japanese troops were still inside of it when the game started, how do i fix this?

[dim elm]

I tried importing the file into a playlist and this came

[balmy rapids]

How do i make it so you can only click an decision if other decision has already been clicked and removed? I currently have something like: has_decision = form_einsatzgruppen but it seems to only let you click the other decision if form_einsatzgruppen is **being **done. Any help?

[jolly mural]

set a country flag in the remove effect and use has_country_flag in the other decision

[stuck quarry]

Is there any way to use a variable in another variables name

So that the name of a state variable can change based on country

So something like: 106.[ROOT]_thing would change too 106.GER_thing or 106.POL_thing depending which country was triggering the effect which sets the variable

[balmy rapids]

Can I use custom_effect_tooltip in available = {}?

Just wanted to set a tooltip there so people would know what they need to do in order to take this decision

[jolly mural]

custom_trigger_tooltip = {
tooltip = "TT"
}

[balmy rapids]

Thanks a lot!

[edgy solar]

you modify the history/units/JAP_1936 file

[timber zenith]

You need to make a mod

Go to all installed mods > upload mod > create mod

[proper acorn]

History/units

[orchid ruin]

still wont work

[proper acorn]

Then go to Japan and the file and there you will find all the units in Japan and the location in the province (you can change the location of the troop or delete it)

nvm got it

is this correct code

[timber zenith]

Does it work?

[barren oak]

i dunno

can you just tell if it works

please

🙏

[timber zenith]

Seeing if it works would probably the easiest way to know if it's the correct code

[barren oak]

brother im in a hurry

just test it

[timber zenith]

No?

[barren oak]

come on

im in a hurry

i only have about a minute left

[timber zenith]

That's not my problem

I don't have time either

[orchid ruin]

my country is bright white, fix?

[wanton veldt]

Is there a way to put the American plane models from BBA into a separate mod so I can play without the BBA features while seeing the plane models?

[timber zenith]

change the colour in the colors.txt file

[orchid ruin]

i did

[magic wren]

I love MD so much, Africa is actually fun to play in the mod

B i g Cameroon

[orchid ruin]

classic is better

[timber zenith]

Did you change it to bright white?

[orchid ruin]

no

[onyx yew]

Thx

[sour sable]

check tags are correct

[sour sable]

i'm not a lawyer, but that seems like piracy to me

[sonic bone]

Yeah, such a mod won't last long before it's taken down

Any kind of advice before I start making my own mod?

no idea guys i did everything correctly but somehow mod just doesnt work not sure whats wrong

[peak pagoda]

I want to add excess thrust to speed like it used to be. I found in the describes.lua where the modifier for adding thrust to agility is.

• THRUST_WEIGHT_AGILITY_FACTOR = 0.5
  I also reverted to Avalanche build and found the one for speed
• THRUST_WEIGHT_SPEED_FACTOR = 3
  I added the speed one to my mod but it does not do anything.
  I researched the lua files and from what I read the THRUST_WEIGHT_AGILITY_FACTOR = 0.5 is referencing a function somewhere else in the code that is not directly accessible for modding. I also did a notepad++ search of the Hoi4 folder and did not find another file with it.
  So am I correct that the THRUST_WEIGHT_SPEED_FACTOR is not working because the formula is removed from the code? Is the file where the code for the THRUST_WEIGHT_AGILITY_FACTOR is located inaccessible? If it is accessible where is it located? If it is not accessible, is it possible to add a formula to add excess thrust to speed, and what is a good file to look at for an example?

[orchid ruin]

they look fine

[jolly mural]

So am I correct that the THRUST_WEIGHT_SPEED_FACTOR is not working because the formula is removed from the code?
yes

THRUST_WEIGHT_AGILITY_FACTOR is located inaccessible?
yes, its in the .cpp files

*If it is not accessible, is it possible to add a formula to add excess thrust to speed, and what is a good file to look at for an example? *
no its impossible without source code access

[random ember]

Can someone help me ? Days ago, I used the nudge tool, and I modified some files, because I didn't know very well how it works. I verified the integrity of the files, and I reinstalled the game, and I sitll can't play Ironman

Even I don't know if I could play mp

[random ember]

Did you create a .gfx file ?

[obtuse condor]

I created a gfx/leaders file

Also I thought I retired the character but it appears in the 1472+ scenarios

I have no idea how to fix this

Some other non-aligned portrait is replacing the Henry VI portrait for some reason

Idk how to fix it

I added the portrait for custom made country and it worked but it won't work for Britain

[timber zenith]

You've still got modified files in your documents folder

documents/paradox interactive/hoi4

folders named map, history or localisation should be deleted

[ashen mural]

hi, i need help since my mod wont display the pictures of the focuses

[random ember]

If u take a picture of the code, other people could help u easier

[ashen mural]

oh ok wait

[ashen mural]

i did

[random ember]

The icon is bad

It must be GFX_(YOUR ICON NAME HERE)

You should watch a tutorial

[random ember]

You don't need the .DDS, because you aren't "saying" to hoi4 where the file is

[random ember]

Yippeee, thanks men

[timber zenith]

np

[timber zenith]

You'll need to define the focus in an interface file, check both goals.gfx and goals_shine.gfx files in the interface folder for how to do that

[obtuse condor]

How do I retire a leader in the history file?

[ashen mural]

Its the vanilla hoi4 icons

[timber zenith]

If you're doing it in the history file you might as well not hire the leader in the first place

[timber zenith]

Check the focus itself in the german focus tree

it's got the proper formatting

or even better

[ashen mural]

Its not for germany

[timber zenith]

https://yard1.github.io/HoI4-GFX-Search/

[timber zenith]

Yeah but it's got the correct name

whatever the revive kaiserreich focus says as its icon is what you want to put

GFX_focus_ger_revive_kaiserreich

It's typically gonna be the file name with GFX_ at the start

[ashen mural]

Oh ok, do i Need custom GFXs for national focuses to make a good mod?

[timber zenith]

It helps make it stand out, but you don't need it

there are also some good resources to help making custom focus icons

https://gitlab.com/association-of-modders/aom-shared-assets/-/tree/master/_OLD?ref_type=heads

Is very good, especially if you have photoshop

[obtuse condor]

Well I want there to be leaders för the multiple scenarios in my mod

[timber zenith]

as in different dates?

[obtuse condor]

Yeah

1444 1600 etc

[timber zenith]

You can recruit characters inside a date scope

[obtuse condor]

recruit_character = ENG_character_HenryVI
1471.5.21 = {
retire_character = ENG_character_HenryVI
}
1444.11.11 = {
create_country_leader = {
name =ENG_character_HenryVI
desc = "Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) was King of England from 1422
to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471,"
picture = "ENG_shawndriscoll.dds"
expire = "1472.5.21"
ideology = despotism
traits = {
}
}
}
characters={
ENG_HenryVI={
name=ENG_character_HenryVI
portraits={
civilian={
large=GFX_portrait_ENG_shawndriscoll
}
}
country_leader={
ideology=despotism
expire="1471.5.21"
id=-1
}
}
}

The first bit in the English history file and the 2nd in the common/characters

[timber zenith]

You might as well remove the character if you're gonna stick with creating the country leader

[obtuse condor]

The common/character file is not needed?

[timber zenith]

It's better if you use it instead of create_country_leader

But

You'll need to make an interface file for the leader portrait

[obtuse condor]

I did that

[timber zenith]

Then you can change the picture code to what you put there

[obtuse condor]

I'm just going to put In a placeholder for these leaders omo

Imo

[ashen mural]

I dont have photoshop, and i dont understand it

[barren oak]

just use SAM

to get urself achievements

[dim elm]

I don’t seem to have the same option as the turtorial maker. (I am making a leader picture and the guy in turtorial said this was super important and without it you would not get the picture in the game) Can anyone help me?

How do i edit an already existing in base game political advisor?

wanted to edit herinrich himmler, so I literally copied his code from base game and added some stuff that I wanted him to do, but now there are those errors:
Multiple character have the tag GER_heinrich_himmler Several characters have the name GER_heinrich_himmler 21935

Can I make it somehow overwrite the original character or do I have to somehow delete the original (base) Heinrich and make a new one?

[obtuse condor]

How would I make a trait that gives +30 relations with someone with the same trait

If someone has the trait Oldenburg they get 30+ relations with someone with the Oldenburg trait or 20+ with someone with the holstein-gottorp trait

Or do I just make their ai more inclined to their diplomacy?

I tried making characters for Henry VI and Vasily II

1444

[summer lotus]

since relation is modifier token, you may need to do on_action, on_daily, check if between two or any countries if leader has said trait

if yes, add relation modifier

[sullen bridge]

are there any QoL mods or Vanilla + mods you guys recommend?

im playing md mod and i want to bring nazi germany, how do i do it?

Make the focus completion reward trigger an event, like country_event = my_event_name.1

then do promote_character = GER_wilhelm_ii as the effect of the event

regular wilhelm character doesn't have leader traits so you'll have to add those manually

also u gotta make the event in the event folder

Unlikely

[worldly timber]

so if it got removed from the workshop it's unlikely that the support will unblock it?

even though I'm sure it was removed due to a report by a user not due to copyright

[nimble solar]

Fair use is a wacky thing

Someone can report it for copyright probably

Nope

It's a yellow button on the bottom right conner. (Once you exit the focus tree screen)

[stuck quarry]

is there a way to detect when someone tries to justify war on a certain country and cancel the justification?

[twin widget]

there needs to be a malawi mod

like an empire of malawi formable

[timber zenith]

there is a trigger to see who is justifying a wargoal, however from my knowledge there isn't a check for for cancellation

[stuck quarry]

i was able to find this

but it doesnt seem to let me see the country which sent the the wargoal, just the victim of it

[timber zenith]

There is is_justifying_wargoal_against = TAG

[stuck quarry]

know of a way to cancel a wargoal?

i can remove a existing wargoal but i want to cancel one in progress

The wiki from what i can tell doesnt have anything on canceling in progress wargoals which sucks, if there was a way to make it impossible to justify on a certain country that would be great

[cold citrus]

god that's beautiful

Local mods not appearing in game. Seems like a pathing issues as Documents is written in Ukrainian (I haven't found a way to fix that). Paradox game launcher writes the path from /mod/quality_of_life to what you see below. Do I need to move my documents folder?

The map is coming together somewhat

I think Italy is more or less 100% accurate

Except maybe that state to the northeast of lyon

Russia might need some more releasables riga dorpat Pskov Novgorod albeit

Germany too ruppin Magdeburg etc

Might need to move some states to Germany tho Valais neuchatel grisons cottbus goslar halle anhalt-desaau upper savoy fulda maybe the Napoleonic french territories in Hannover

[timber zenith]

Why is your documents folder inside One Drive

[brave furnace]

Wish I knew. It’s how the laptop came setup

[timber zenith]

That's the path for your onedrive documents, there should be a documents folder inside the users folder

[brave furnace]

There is a user documents folder. Do you know how to set that as default?

[timber zenith]

If you click the documents shortcut in file explorer does it go to the onedrive folder?

[brave furnace]

I tried make a user data.txt file with a new path, but it didn’t work
C:\Users\Paul Ryan\Documents\Games\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV

[timber zenith]

Right click the documents shortcut, press properties, then location

[timber zenith]

location in the menu bar

[brave furnace]

What's odd is saved games are in the same location and it doesn't have a problem pulling that data

[rose heath]

how exactly does the Vichy France event work?

when Germans hold state number 16, which i assume is Paris, and France has over 70% surrender progress, an event is fired

France has 3 options being Collaboration. Union, and Free France

now, does it matter what the French chooses in order for Vichy france to be created?

like if they choose Free France, which would still exist even if they didn't pick it, will Germans still get the option to create Vichy France?

[dim elm]

no it has NOG

[obtuse condor]

You added a new Norway?

[dim elm]

yes

[obtuse condor]

Did you add big medium and small flags?

[barren oak]

why are you creating a eu4 mod in hoi4

[obtuse condor]

I feel like it

I love map painting

I can't wait to add the other nations in Germany

add colonization mechanic

[obtuse condor]

Ruppin Magdeburg Brunswick anhalt-desaau etc

[obtuse condor]

I would want to add that through focuses

[barren oak]

decisions

as a european this would make me so happy

[barren oak]

and also add native policy

[obtuse condor]

What were the native policies at the time?

I would want to add two different colonialism systems

Somewhat historic and ahistoric

Historic as in countries can only colonize Africa 1836-1900 (more or less)

And not earlier and auch

[barren oak]

war crimes
trading
coexistence

[obtuse condor]

Maybe deportations

[barren oak]

make it historically accurate

[obtuse condor]

The trail of years

Historic populations would be good to add

Låter

Though that would take some time to research

I would need more people to work on the mod

[barren oak]

native repression policy

just like in eu4

[obtuse condor]

I want to try experimenting with making focus trees too

After I'm done with adding releasables

[barren oak]

can you extend the timeline from 1444 to 1975

the final years of decoloinzation

My mod has 1444 1600 1700 1789 1800 1812 1836 1900 1960 2023 scenarios

• 1936 1939 of course

[barren oak]

that is a lot

[obtuse condor]

That 1444 Hoi4 mod got some attention even though it doesn't have any content

I feel like the mod could rise out of stagnation if I add like a focus for Russia and france in 1812

Modify the norwegian OOB file

[rose heath]

can anyone tell me why the event does not trigger?
it's supposed to trigger when Germans control the moscow state, and Soviets have over 75% surrender progress, but it doesn't

the actual event itself is not done yet, so ignore that, but it's supposed to at least show up

[rose heath]

btw this is my first time making a modded event so i might be just messing something stupid up without realising

[timber zenith]

Relaunch the game

modifying events tends to make them break

even on debug mode

[rose heath]

reloaded the game and the event still doesn't fire

they fully hold moscow, and i have over 75% surrender progress

this is the error log, which only tells me about the error about the event that is supposed to happen later, that i did not finish yet

[timber zenith]

run the event manually in the console does it pop up?

[rose heath]

oh right i can do that i forgot

wait

it sure does

[timber zenith]

soviets lose 75% of their land and only have to cede murmansk that's pretty busted

damn idk man

[random robin]

How this look?

[timber zenith]

It looks a bit too crowded

and it's still probably gonna be half that size in game

hard to see what's going on

[random robin]

Gonna modify it a bit.

The focus is titled "Funding for F.M.B."

[timber zenith]

Freedmen's Bureau?

[random robin]

Yes.

[random robin]

Yes.

[timber zenith]

ohhh I see what you're depicting now

that's pretty cool

that would go insanely hard as an event picture ngl

Hell yeah lol

In the timeline of the mod I'm working on reconstruction never ended.

[rotund nova]

what file are we talking about

[timber zenith]

history/units

[rotund nova]

i tried to copy or make my own

[timber zenith]

You'll need to set the OOB in the country's history file

oob = "TAG_1936" or whatever you named the oob in quotations

[rotund nova]

what oob

[timber zenith]

oob is order of battle, it's the unit file you made

[wintry plinth]

Hey there, question: Where is the mod folder that messes with the starting screen of the game? The one that lists interesting countries and stuff.
I managed to undo most of what I do not like about a mod, but that part is still in there somewhere

[timber zenith]

The content of that screen can be modified at common/bookmarks

but the ui itself is gfx modding

[rotund nova]

where do i set the oob

[timber zenith]

in your country's history file

you put that code

where the stuff inside the "" is the file name

which should be like TUR_1936 or whatever

[wintry plinth]

Ah, much better. Thanks.

[timber zenith]

No worries

this is my first time making an event so it may be messy but i'm trying to copy the finnish white peace event

[obtuse condor]

What was the official name of the country of goslar in 1444?

[timber zenith]

without a tag you're transferring it to ROOT, which in this case is SOV

put a GER scope around the transfer_states

[rose heath]

wait where am i supposed to put the german tag exactly

like how do i tell the game to transfer the states specifically to germany

GER =
transfer_state = 91

?

that doesn't seem to work

[obtuse condor]

Don't toy need {}

You

[rose heath]

oh right wait

if = {
limit = {
owns_state = 91
}
GER = {
transfer_state = 91
}
}

yeah this looks messy and doesn't work

@timber zenith

[timber zenith]

You'll probably have to restart the game

and do this it's easier

[rose heath]

if = {
limit = {
owns_state = 91
}
}
GER = {
transfer_state = 91
}
works

[rose heath]

oh alright

thank you

yeah that seems like way less of a mess

[timber zenith]

You'll need to put the GER inside the if scope tho

[rose heath]

wait but will this command still transfer the states even if ROOT doesn't own some of them?

[timber zenith]

Yeah, as long as you use the OR scope as well like shown

it will transfer any of them

[rose heath]

alright thank you very much

[timber zenith]

No worries

[tepid notch]

I like cant make working events

best event I made was "belgian annexation of luxembourg"
(basicly copy of Memel)

like is there a guide for events?

[timber zenith]

Are you facing any specific issue when making an event?

[tepid notch]

the event does actually happen but

I never get it

like for example, luxembourg accepts the annexation

the news event happens, but I dont get the event where I annex them

(hard to explain)

[timber zenith]

How are you triggering the event? a focus?

[tepid notch]

yes

[timber zenith]

Can you show the focus code, and the code for the event?

Hi guys! I'm the italian dev of the mod "The Gates of Versailles". We deeply need GFX artists, coders, writers and researchers.

hi i just want to say that i love italy

[obtuse condor]

hahaahah thank you!

[summer lotus]

What are you specifically looking for from writers and coders?

Scenario writing? Such that one would be expected to add at bare minimum a mild flavour to the otherwise hot, steamy affair between Mussolini and Lady Rachelle that culminated in 1915, and how it would affect the course of event 20 years later as the world is once again brought before the venomous fang of war, perhaps by his own ambition even?

or are you looking for balancing?

Is it possible to give Sweden a spirit that prevents it embargoing Germany?

[lofty imp]

I want to copy over like the 3-D models from GEO modern models mod for millennium dawn to Ultimate tech tree new horizons I don't exactly know how to do that. Does Someone know how to do that like and if they do, can you help me?

[timber zenith]

ctrl c + ctrl v

[lofty imp]

no that's not what I mean like I'm on Mac and like I don't know what files to copy because I want to make it compatible with both mods

[timber zenith]

You might be out of luck since it says unauthorised modification is prohibited

[lofty imp]

oh yeah I do gotta ask him about that my bad

[barren oak]

fascism_acceptance = 50

what does the 50 mean?

[timber zenith]

50 score towards accepting any offers

like asking to join a faction has those modifiers

50 is 50 acceptance towards that stuff

[barren oak]

oh ok

[barren oak]

is there anyway i can mass edit state files? or make it easier?

im running VS code and am open to installing new programs

i just want to assign germany all states of USSR, france, and england

but dont want to manually go through each state

its tedious, and i can do it

but i would prefer saving a few hours

[timber zenith]

You can shortcut by doing an every_owned_state scope in any history file

But I wouldn't recommend it

[barren oak]

what about editing multiple but not all states

[timber zenith]

You'd be hard pressed to find a way to do that

[barren oak]

is there a website that can help me? a program?

even GPT-4, Claude 2.01, Gemini 1.5?

[timber zenith]

Ai definitely not

But nothing I'm aware of

[barren oak]

i think i can make it edit the files

just requires a lot of prompting

[timber zenith]

You'd have to upload each file individually

And then download the edit

You'd still be modifying every file manually

[barren oak]

i have access to Claude 2.01

with over 128k tokens

[barren oak]

no i wont

[timber zenith]

How so

[barren oak]

they modify, i download, and i shove it back to where it belongs

[timber zenith]

Sounds like modifying every file

Can you upload the whole folder?

[barren oak]

i can put it into a rar file

[timber zenith]

I haven't used Claude, so I can't comment on it's reliability

[proven sable]

Anyone know how I can mod Sweden so it can't embargo?

[hollow willow]

Guys, is there anyone here who made a map for any mod?
If so, tell us how you do it, because when I tried to use mapgen to create a map, my transitions from land to water caused the game to crash (In the debug mode, the game allows me to look at the map, but when choosing a country, it also crashes).
So is there any other tool for creating maps, or is it necessary to make them manually?

[barren oak]

i want germany to annex all of soviet union

and while in the country selection screen

have it show up

[strong imp]

Just dropping my mod idea in here because I very well know that I’m to stupid to actually make the thing its a mod idea for Hawaii I already thought up the fascist party’s name and the monarchy’s party name them being the ROK (Royal Order of Kamehameha) and the HOK (House of Kawānanakoa) I’m still thinking up names for the democratic and communist party however I still have a pretty good idea on the focus trees with a fascist monarchist democratic and communist trees and obviously a industrial tree a military tree and a naval tree obviously admittedly I’m still workshopping ideas for the trees but still if you want to try and make the thing feel free although I would like it if you let me know if are going to since I would try to suggest things for the mod like flags party names and other stuff but yeah

[barren oak]

how would i do that

[barren oak]

nevermind i found out how

[cerulean panther]

Anyone can tell me why it is telling me to enter a username when I'm trying to upload my mod for the first time?

[barren oak]

screenshot it and post it here

[cerulean panther]

I have the screenshot on my laptop

But if you don't mind it's quicker if I take a photo of it

Now if this was Reddit, I would get flamed for taking a picture of a screenshot

[strong imp]

Hey question does anyone know what would be a good debuff for a banana republic country

[sterile plank]

does any modder know how to fix this consumer good bug?

[barren oak]

are you uploading to steam or paradox mods

[cerulean panther]

Steam

I'm trying to use my Steam username

[barren oak]

can you prove that you have hoi4 bought?

[cerulean panther]

Yes. it's in my Steam library

12th Nov 2022 I bought Hoi4

[barren oak]

screenshot it

[barren oak]

it shouldn't be asking for a username, it should use your steam username

you probably refunded it later

[cerulean panther]

I didn't

[barren oak]

well sorry to tell you but if you have that message, you either pirated it

or you are using creamAPI

[cerulean panther]

The only games I refunded was ICBM and Garry's mod

[cerulean panther]

What's that because I didn't think im using that

[barren oak]

also it wont work

[barren oak]

you cant upload mods if its asking you your username

[serene skiff]

if you dont know what it is you proabably didnt use it

[cerulean panther]

Yeah

[cerulean panther]

What am I supposed to do then?

The mod works but it won't update to the current game version because it's not on the steam workshop

[barren oak]

can't do much

screenshot your steam library

[cerulean panther]

Don't mind the other games

[barren oak]

yeah i dont know what to tell you then

you probably will not be able to upload it

[cerulean panther]

Should I try contact customer support then?

[barren oak]

this is specific to paradox interactive

steam is generalized, it probably wont help you there

[cerulean panther]

I meant paradox customer support

Yeah I'm gonna see if paradox customer support can help me

Bruh I can't find a way to directly submit a ticket because i can't find anything that solves my issue from their solutions

[barren oak]

again, you cant submit a mod

just give up

[cerulean panther]

Ah well that might just cut my modding journey short

I will see if paradox can fix it. If they can't I will just stick to playing mods

[strong imp]

Just dropping my mod idea in here because I very well know that I’m to stupid to actually make the thing its a mod idea for Hawaii I already thought up the fascist party’s name and the monarchy’s party name them being the ROK (Royal Order of Kamehameha) and the HOK (House of Kawānanakoa) i have the names for the democratic and communist party’s and country names however I still have a pretty good idea on the focus trees with a fascist monarchist democratic and communist trees and obviously a industrial tree a military tree and a naval tree obviously admittedly I’m still workshopping ideas for the trees but still if you want to try and make the thing feel free although I would like it if you let me know if are going to since I would try to suggest things for the mod like flags party names and other stuff but yeah and again I have absolutely no idea how to make a mod

[barren oak]

they cant fix it

its an issue with steam

paradox is not steam, the best they can do is send you to contact steam support

[cerulean panther]

I will wait to see what they will say. Then I will contact steam if they recommend it. Then probably I will cut my career short 😔

[obtuse condor]

How to make so a country never surrenders?

[sterile plank]

Anyone know how to fix this consumer goods glitch in a mod

[cerulean panther]

Why would you want that?

[obtuse condor]

I want the kingdom of France to exist in vendee

Even if they have capitulated

1793-1818

[barren oak]

you can give it a province super far away, super remote and assign 50 vp to it

[obtuse condor]

Is there another way to do it?

[barren oak]

nope

[barren oak]

or you can add a major country with no provinces assigned

[obtuse condor]

Cant Ethiopia do that?

[barren oak]

they become a gie

[obtuse condor]

So they exist without owning states?

[barren oak]

well firstly you need to have another major country in the war

and then when they captiulate they become a GIE in the other major

[obtuse condor]

Anyone got hoi4 modding servers?

Is generate_wargoal_tension=10 valid?

Will it make so that countries won't join factions even if its at 100% world tension?

[strong imp]

Anyone know what a good debuff would be for a banana republic

[obtuse condor]

-10 core attack

Imo

+1-5 civ construction

[nimble solar]

Target industry to United States +50%

[strong imp]

Actually I don’t think the country Im thinking of is a banana republic more of a pineapple or sugar republic if anything

It’s Hawaii btw

Although I’ll try and run with it for a debuff for Hawaii

[timber zenith]

There's the hoi4 modding coop

I prolly can't link to it but you can google it
