How do I make an option in an event visible after doing a certain focus?

#

Visible has_completed focus ={1878_yugoslavia}

#

?

timber zenith
#

inside the option

obtuse condor
#

Thanks

placid kraken
#

is there any mods that make the ai easier to fight cuz i suck 😭

random robin
#

Open commands

#

use AI then whatever country tag

#

It'll disable it.

placid kraken
random robin
#

`

#

That key ^^^

#

If you need to find a countries tag use the debug command

#

which is just debug

placid kraken
#

Will this mess up my game forever until I change it or something?

random robin
#

No

#

If you wanna turn an AI back on just go "AI" then the country tag to re-enable.

#

To turn off debug mode just type debug again.

#

If something breaks, just reload a previous save and it'll reset all your commands.

#

So don't worry about eff-ing anything up.

placid kraken
random robin
#

Nope

#

Their units will just kinda stay where they are.

#

They won't counter-attack

#

but because of the way the game works, the units will still "defend"

#

by defend I mean just follow the frontline.

placid kraken
#

Okay but ā€œai fraā€?

random robin
#

AI FRA will disable the French AI.

#

No focuses, no research, no army, nothing.

placid kraken
#

And for like United Kingdom it’s, ā€œai uniā€

random robin
#

They won't do anything.

placid kraken
#

It’s like the first three letters?

#

Ah

random robin
#

Tag for the United Kingdom is ENG

placid kraken
#

How to I find all of the tags?

random robin
#

Some countries got weird tags

#

Like Iran's is PER

random robin
#

it'll give you the tag.

#

Some countries (like Spain that have a civil war 100% of the time) the separate faction's tag will be along the lines of like D01, D02, D03, etc. etc.

#

And whenever there is a civil war it just increases by 1.

placid kraken
#

It seems to not be working?

#

So it’s ā€œdebugā€?

random robin
#

It doesn't work on Ironman if that's what you mean

#

Yes

#

Debug

#

No quotations

placid kraken
#

Okay

#

So I’m hovering my mouse over uk

random robin
#

Gotcha

placid kraken
#

Oh is it ctrl+alt to see debug?

#

Alr I see it now

#

Thx

random robin
#

Ctrl+alt adds some little details too (if I remember correctly)

placid kraken
#

Noice

random robin
#

Things like state ID, province ID, weather, temp, that kinda stuff.

placid kraken
#

That’s cool

random robin
#

If I didn't suck so much at modding it would be real helpful.

#

But I suck at modding.

Is there any way to have formables give you cores instead of claims on R56 RP

sterile plank

obtuse condor
#

Was there a negligible amount of french emigrees in countries like Sweden Denmark Poland Russia?

#

How do you guys make focus trees?

#

I'm just thinking of things Russia did between 1789-1815

#

And just putting them in the focus spontaneously

#

Annexing karlti kakheti the Russo polish war of 1792 stagnancy of the Russo swedish war of 1788-1790

#

Maybe I could look into the companies founded in Russia 1789-1815 maybe 1815-1836

#

Kirov plant 1801 saint Petersburg Kalashnikov concern 1807 izhevsk

#

Are there like lists of companies that have seized to exist?

#

Why have 20 small tanks when you can have one massive one that eats up your entire economy?

#

I mean come on! That is too cool!

#

No way such a thing could actually work. It would cost more to produce and operate than you'd ever hope to make back, as well as just being a massive, slow target for enemy bombers; like actual ships.

#

But there is something so cool about the concept of massive land battleship tanks.

What's the modifier for weekly stability?

Just imagine combine royal navy + Wehrmacht tanks

random robin
#

I've considered adding the tech to my mod lol

#

but it might confuse it too much

#

Maybe I should honestly.

#

Kinda like railway artillery?

#

I gotta get better at modding or make a team lol

random ember
#

Like +5%

random robin
#

Maybe you can even modify it like a ship?

#

Give it flight decks so it can hold 2-3 planes or something

#

Give it buffs to artillery and AA.

#

Obviously it would need to be super costly to balance it out.

random ember
#

Combine cost of production of a train + artillery and multiply it for a random number

random robin

Lemme open HOI4 quick to see the costs

Hey Guys. What I want for HOI4 is the ability to highlight and dehighlight state boarders. My purpose for such a feature is to allow me to recreate the Holy Roman Empire, truly recreate the Holy Roman Empire with all the dutchies, counties, bishoprics etc. and with some of the lager countries like Austria and Prussia sticking out of the boundaries of the HRE.

Can anyone help me?

Hey, Having trouble with state creation, Everytime i attempt to create a new state or simply press save, the game crashes, It still creates the new state, but it's annoying and time consuming to constantly reload the game. I've found out that the Localisation folder in directory doesn't appear, which seems to be the core issue.

i still dont know

timber zenith

did you add that in the events as well?

barren oak

Does it work?

its for historical accuracy

but you can see it says invalid event

You'll probably have to restart the game as well

barren oak

#

Can you upload the whole event file then?

barren oak
timber zenith
#

that's fine

#

I just need the file instead of text

barren oak
#

wait

#

thats the wrong one

#

here

#

oh i see

#

i didnt add the namespace

#

nevermind it still doesnt work

timber zenith
#

You'll have to add a namespace for both event titles, and at the very beginning of the file

#

and then restart the game probably

proper acorn
timber zenith
#

It needs to be the event ID without the number

proper acorn
#

🄺

timber zenith
#

since you have two IDs you'll have to add two namespaces i think

barren oak
#

to make sure there are no issues

Does anyone know a mod that allows you to mass select equipment for the market? For example being able to shift click when selecting the Spanish Field Uniform II so that all 3 are selected at once instead of having to select it once then hit the all. When playing with mods like Black Ice the variety of equipment tends to add up and you spend a lot of time scrolling and clicking the add all button. Maybe a button where you click it once and it selects max of all the equipment you selected?

it's something else in the files

ashen mural

well i think you'll just have to like

add your countrys tag into localisation and anything else

that is that cosmetic tag

i think you are forced to use the tag

not so sure tho

i hate localisation

copy it from a nother country

and just change

litteraly everything else

#

let's take for example, greece.

#

when they go with Failed Greater Greece, they will go down fascist

How many focuses made in a week would you say is good?

50? 100? 200? 300?

#

What amount is respectable so to speak

sterile plank
#

you can make as many as you want in any week, the point is that they can do something or just simply not a "filler." so at the end, you want to atleast make a good tree that has many but not fillers. I would atleast say 100 depending on how long you spend on it per day

this good?

obtuse condor

Yeah of course adding 30 30 day focuses to integrate Ukrainian and Belarusian States is excessive

timber zenith
# rotund nova this good?

In your definition.csv file, your provinces will say "false" or "true" and that is contradicting what is shown in your provinces.bmp file.

#

You'll have to manually change each province in the definition file to match the reality

barren oak

i changed a province but it still shows the error

#

is it until i change all of them?

obtuse condor
#

But adding a focus to core Bialystok after tilsit isn't a problem or stuff like that

This is one of my favorite designs I've made. The focus itself just reduces consumer goods factories by -10.00% at the cost of 5% stability and war support.

yea

Both of them

That one yeah

And the one in the folder just outside that one

Which should be yourmodname.mod or smth

obtuse condor
#

I'm adding so focuses can only be done couple months-1/2 years before their historical date more or less

#

Is adding time requirements for focuses a good thing?

#

Can it be over done?

#

Mixing all the focuses together more or less also makes the focus fit together better imo

i'm making a germany mod and i want to make it so all Hitler-related focuses are on one side, and all the SS-coup focuses are on the right side, while they share the focuses in the middle like anschluss

#

i was also inspired by one of the germany overhaul mods to make it so you can pick most focuses in any order you want

#

so if you want to go around maginot without ever bothering Poland you can go ahead

#

i hope i won't have too much of a headache getting AI to act historically with this

#

well let's dissect the problem

#

it says what

#

that there are duplicate focus names aka IDs

#

and that isn't allowed

#

so how do we fix this? @obtuse condor

#

if having same focuses with same names/ID's is not allowed?

obtuse condor
#

but fun is that game still showing focuses

silver coral
#

you give one of the focuses a unique name

#

that is not literally the name of the other focus

obtuse condor
#

you mean delete the TAG from name?

silver coral
#

that is not the same name

silver coral
#

dont have focuses with same name/ID

#

every focus needs to have a different name

#

Understand @obtuse condor

#

?

obtuse condor
silver coral
#

they clearly don't in code

i want to modify the same national spirit with the two lower foci, how can i do that?

silver coral
foggy locust
#

i know

#

but

#

i have a national spirit

#

and since i can do the foci in either order, i cannot just make a second idea to overwrite the first one

#

because i have to check if the other focus has been completed

#

and i dont know how to do that

#

i just noticed Germany gets a lot of weird ahistorical diplomacy options

#

why can you befriend turkey after war with ussr if germany never did

#

you can also befriend spain for some reason

#

even though hitler never did

#

i already removed the option to befriend spain, and i think i'll remove the option to befriend turkey, but leave the option to puppet it if you form the moscow-berlin axis

#

and it's not like i hate non-historical stuff in fact i like it very much, but this is just free friends

#

why improving your navy allows you to befriend 4 countries that Germany never befriended

#

like hell yeah i want to build a dockyard and get 4 friends for no reason

#

Germany got a lot of powerful friends being Italy, Japan, and Romania why would you allow it to invite random minors to axis

#

Are mods the most successful when new dlc are out?

#

I feel like that's pretty intuitive

rose heath
#

also the game is spamming this error on my face

#

i would gladly ignore it because everything works as intended but i don't want the game to yell at me

#

wdym the focus doesn't exist if it's right there and works

#

it uses the position and ID correctly so why is the game telling me it doesn't

hi i am making a mod that makes some changes to world tension
after making micro adjustments i have to create new mod under new name
otherwise it doesnt update the changes i made and keeps loading the old version of mod, even tho i have made changes directly to the defines.lua file in mod.

#

is there anything i can do to avoid that, its so frustrating

timber zenith
#

with a different name

violet ravine
#

@timber zenith why cant i make changes to already existing defines file in the mod folder

#

i am new to modding

timber zenith
#

I dunno, I've never heard of that issue before

#

Did you name the folder correctly?

violet ravine
#

yes, but i have to make new folders under different name everytime i want to update and make changes to mod

#

i think this should be easy to understand^

timber zenith
#

How are you making your mod?

#

In the paradox launcher?

#

I mean when you create it

violet ravine
#

notepad++, only making 10 lines of code changes in the 00_defines.lua file

timber zenith
#

Yes but I mean when you create the mod

violet ravine
#

i manually made folders and files

timber zenith
#

Or are you modifying the files directly from the hoi4 install?

violet ravine
#

no not directly, only in the mod folder

timber zenith
#

What's the directory of that?

violet ravine
#

C:\Users\pc\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod

#

okay lets say you were making a mod that makes a few changes in defines file

how would you do it

timber zenith
#

Firstly, create the mod in the paradox launcher

#

then make a folder named common, then inside that a folder named defines

#

then inside that, a file, named like 01_defines.lua or something

#

then make your changes inside

#

but do it like

#

NDefines.NMilitary.LAND_SPEED_MODIFIER = 0.18

#

for example

#

so you're modifying the individiual defines, rather than copying the whole file

violet ravine
#

i see

#

thanks alot for helping

timber zenith
#

No worries

#

let me know if it works

violet ravine
#

@timber zenith how can i see if the mod has loaded or not,
is there a command or setting for that ingame

Yo

#

What do y'all think of this romanian focus tree so far?

timber zenith
#

I like the icons

#

It's just very... straight

rotund cairn
# west wadi

i think maybe you should flesh the tree out in a flow chart like drawio or vizio (or even just notepad++) before worrying about icons or even names. give things generic placeholder names, e.g. "civil war trigger" "choice node 1 / 2" "political power gain 1" "infrastructure 1"

#

it currently looks a lot more like.... overly specific personal wish fulfillment than a tree mod

west wadi
rotund cairn
#

a placeholder name that tells you in shorthand what the thing does is a lot clearer as to what you're trying to do with an actual gameplay progression

west wadi
rotund cairn
#

seeing the actual branching will also help you brainstorm ideas about what the consequences of each path are when it diverges, when it makes sense to re-merge a divergent branch, and what the logical conclusion of a branch might be (e.g. "oh if they get this then they should definitely get that!")

so red germany, an aggressive fascist france, a teetering unstable liberal russia underpinned by black hundreds fascists threatening to civil war you, a collapsing liberal monarchy in england ready to explode into any direction. really a lot of freedom to write something interesting if you do "what if Germany lost but in a different way"
