Thanks
is there any mods that make the ai easier to fight cuz i suck š
Whereās that?
`
That key ^^^
If you need to find a countries tag use the debug command
which is just debug
Will this mess up my game forever until I change it or something?
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.
For example, āai fraā to turn off France ai? And if I fight them they wonāt fight back?
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.
Okay but āai fraā?
And for like United Kingdom itās, āai uniā
They won't do anything.
AI ENG
Tag for the United Kingdom is ENG
How to I find all of the tags?
Command debug then hover your cursor over any nation
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.
Gotcha
Ctrl+alt adds some little details too (if I remember correctly)
Noice
Things like state ID, province ID, weather, temp, that kinda stuff.
Thatās cool
If I didn't suck so much at modding it would be real helpful.
But I suck at modding.
Alr lol thanks
is anyone going to help him
I'm making a Gen A at war mod and want to know some more nations to add. Could anybody suggest some garbage memes for me to add?
everything brainrot
including skibbidi and uh
gyatt
Ohio country
I cringed writing that
could anybody suggest a mode?
why is end of a new beggining not working
i wish someone could mod moveable maginot
Is there any way to have formables give you cores instead of claims on R56 RP
they give cores :/
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?
They donāt doebeit
What do you guys think are good starting debuffs for Hawaii in 1936
They say on the formable nations tab they only give claims for āconsistencyā
as a territory or an independent nation?
Independent but crippled by American fruit companies since it was a pineapple republic before it was annexed by the US
I get it cored lol
Are you using the RP submod too?
im trying to make a mod about germany winning ww1 and ww2, but thats not important
can anyone help here? im trying to change a country name but the name just wont change
i set the name in the files to danubian federation? doesnt change, it says austria ingame
i literally do not know the other problem other than the game doesnt want to work
Show localisation for Austria
AUS_fascism:0 "Danubian Federation"
AUS_fascism_DEF:0 "Danubian Federation"
AUS_democratic:0 "Danubian Federation"
AUS_democratic_DEF:0 "the Danubian Federation"
AUS_neutrality:0 "Danubian Federation"
AUS_neutrality_DEF:0 "the Danubian Federation"
AUS_communism:0 "Danubian Federation"
AUS_communism_DEF:0 "the Danubian Federation"
AUS_fascism_ADJ:0 "Danubian"
AUS_democratic_ADJ:0 "Danubian"
AUS_neutrality_ADJ:0 "Danubian"
AUS_communism_ADJ:0 "Danubian"
AUS:0 "Danubian Federation"
AUS_DEF:0 "the Danubian Federation"
AUS_ADJ:0 "Danubian"
more or less all of its the same
does anyone know how to fix this? or do i have to just make a new country
Is it in the countries localisation file
does anybody know how to make an event trigger, when an province is controlled by a country that is at war with the owner?
yep
And there's no other aus_ in that file?
what the hell is that
Landships my love ššš
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?
idk
Why do I want to do a mod with that unit ?
Just imagine combine royal navy + Wehrmacht tanks
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
Railway artillery it will be cool, imagine get a buff of attack in a province with a railway
Like +5%
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.
Yes
Combine cost of production of a train + artillery and multiply it for a random number
Lemme open HOI4 quick to see the costs
Hey guys
I need help, my mod keeps on crashing. Can someone help me to make it not crash? I've tested anything that I can think of, its still crashing
More information pls
Mod changes interface, has custom bookmark, custom history, states
I'll send you the file to debug it
Send code here so other people can help u
i sent JSON files
Which is the propose of .vscode ?
doesnt matter
Ok
vscode has plguins
It started to crash when you add the bookmarks ?
i dont know when it started crashing
just search throuhg all the files
when i was editing history/countries/*.txt
and interface
what mod is this?
āCommission Pepsi-Colaā
Currently I've been making a Warsaw Uprising mission that if fails poland gets control of Warsaw and they get something like this:
will AI be able to last any reasonable time with that kind of buffs?
oh and if they manage to hold for 60 days they get something like that:
Problem with localisation?
I didn't have l_english in my localisation files and that made my mod crash
1 second into launching
its crashing for a different reason now
Do you make country flags for wars?
If for an example Russia and Ottomans have 5 different wars?
And you want to make different peace deals for them
Just something I've added for fun, a radio station with Dutch and Flemish songs of the time
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?
nah i got a bigger problem
so bitmap and definition are in a disagreement??? idk it just spams all provinces
Send. Me the files. I try to fix it
No. Your mod file
bro trynna steal my mod
Why should I?
nah stop acting
If I want sth. I ask.
Men sorry, I had to go, I will try to help u
But I have not to help if you wonāt it
pls help this other dude aunt good
No one will steal your mod, here the people only want to ask or help
sus
Idk about maps
I understand u, because at the start it was sus for me, but don't worry
And if you don't want, you could Research on Reddit posts
im not starting
i think i seen this dude before
everybody warned me
they said he steal mods
Ohh
Really? Thatās new for me
Why the moderation didn't do nothing?
idk if he steals
One question
Which
nah sorry it was someone else
Who said this shit?
nobody
I don't know
?
So, who warned you?
It would be new for me if I steal Mods
kitkat warned me about fbkong
Fbkong, that guy was a developer of magma Europe, it would be weird
Well, if you don't trust on him, I only can recommend you to watch a tutorial bro
which one
The user lol
I don't know about modify maps provinces
who knows
Me
What the error say?
it says
that
the
ok boutta look
bitmap and province definition diaagree on whether or not province (literally every number) is coastal
In the definition file, it says true or false. True = costal, false = not costal. Now there is shit work, that why I want to do this, because you donāt have to. You search every number and if it say true you change it to false and if it says false, you change it to true
Got it?
You now understand why I want to help you with this?
how did it even happen
Did you change sth in the nudge Mode on the map?
no
What did you done?
added a province
Okay. The game overwites some random this in the file. Its a game problem.
what thise numbers mean
Thats the province id
the other like 1 or 7
Its build up like this:
Province ID; R;G;B; costal/not costal; Continental Number
continental number?
Thats the last number
does it impact anything?
Itās basicly for desicions.
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.
mine
even if i do everything right the error still shows upšš
Did you fix every costal/not costal province error?
How does this portrait look?
look good
Removed the sunglasses.
Better
Bro, where is the neck?
It's hard to see, but under the uniform collars lol
How do I incorporate an 11 year old Yukio Mishima into my mod?
In my opinion is a bit weird, because is hard to see the neck, but I like the background flag
i just started again but it started again
Did you move the edited files from Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod[Modname]?
What is really killing me
is I want to make a custum UI
I have a decision with a 25% of 1 event and a 75% of another event
When I click it nothing happens
and it says "Invalid event with ID: "ID of event here" "
please help
Hm
help
`country_event = {
id = barb_rebel_by_SS
title = RBS_event.1.t
desc = RBS_event.1.desc
timeout_days = 3
is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
name = AD_event.1.a
start_civil_war = {
ideology = fascism
}
}
}
country_event = {
id = barb_loss_stability
title = RBSN_event.1.t
desc = RBSN_event.1.desc
timeout_days = 3
is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
name = TG_event.1.a
add_stability = -0.05
}
}
`
here it is
oh and barb means barbarossa
if you were wondering
For some reason I'm not seeing the issue here
dont know either
Can you upload the code of the decision?
You also need an event ID
i do have an event id
it needs to be a number as well, like barb_loss_stability.1
oh
operation_intel_AJR_decision = {
allowed = {
tag = GER
date = 1941.7.14
}
name = INTEL_GER_JEW
desc = INTEL_GER_JEW_OB_DESC
icon = GFX_decision_icon_default
available = {
}
fire_only_once = no
visible = {
ROOT = {
is_ai = no
}
}
cost = 25
complete_effect = {
add_stability = -0.05
random_list = {
25 = {
GER = {
country_event = barb_rebel_by_SS.1
}
}
75 = {
GER = {
country_event =barb_loss_stability.1
}
}
}
}
so yeah
i still dont know
did you add that in the events as well?
the numbers? yes
Does it work?
just ignore the description
its for historical accuracy
but you can see it says invalid event
You'll probably have to restart the game as well
i did restart the game
Can you upload the whole event file then?
that was the whole event file
wait
thats the wrong one
here
oh i see
i didnt add the namespace
nevermind it still doesnt work
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
can the namespace be anything?
How did you do this, teach me?
It needs to be the event ID without the number
š„ŗ
since you have two IDs you'll have to add two namespaces i think
do you want to test the rest of my mod?
to make sure there are no issues
I'm not home rn
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?
alright
everything is brokenšš
have you tried adapting?
wait, what mod adds uniforms?
how can i replace portraits?
That mechanic is hard coded to hell. Doubt anyone could mod anything in it
Black iCE
Not bad
I havenāt framed it yet, but this a design I made for the Kazakh Red Army.
im updating Barbarossa but its crashing now
I know why its crashing, Order of Battle issue
but I don't know what division is causing the issue
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.
The only way i could think of is through decisions via state highlight or you'd have to create a scripted gfx, to pop up. Sounds like a cool idea, but it'd be hard to accomplish
You want eu4
No I want this for a hoi4 mod
is there a way to chnage flags in a focus ?
Communist China to People's Republic of China
And also some Italian focuses
yes but i want to make it so if you do a focus the flag of your country chnages
is it possible=
?
Oh wait, this is modding channel
Uhh, probably having to change a cosmetic tag
Via focus
i will just look at codes from focuses that already do this can you tell me one?
yes, it is indeed possible.
I'll go ahead and try to scout it out for ya
give me one second
ok ok
Proclaim the People's Republic
Commie China
alr so it should be something like
"set_cosmetic_tag = "TAG_NAME"
Is that paraguai :3
but what do i need to put in tag name and how can i make it work?
alr so in short
if you want for example.
for it to be a turkish focus tree
you should be able, to have it like
"TUR_OTTOMAN_EMPIRE"
it's something else in the files
I don't know if you HAVE to use the tag or not.
what does it mean to highlight
what country are you working on?
one that dosent exist in vanilla
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
well you could just
copy it from a nother country
and just change
litteraly everything else
what is a cosmetic tag? idk if i really added it
well, a cosmetic tag is like
let's take for example, greece.
when they go with Failed Greater Greece, they will go down fascist
and that unlocks a decision which allows greece to reform the byzantine empire.
instead of being whole alternative countries, cosmetic tags are basically that.
damn seems hard to programm
I don't personally think it's that hard
Like the Demilitarized Zone
Kazakh Red Army.
How many focuses made in a week would you say is good?
50? 100? 200? 300?
What amount is respectable so to speak
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
any ammount is respectable
going at your own pace is the best way to do it properly
I want to make a somewhat indepth focus tree so I will need to go on my own pace
Making scripted wars
Country flags innit
any help?
how to get version 1.13.4, i got a decent looking mod for it but i cant change it to that specific version (for mulitplayer)
i think i did everything right but it still doesnt work
how do I create an autonomy level that is seperate and independent of all the other autonomy levels?
I want to create an autonomy system but I want it so that only Romania and Hungary are allowed to get these autonomy levels
I've never tried to make new autonomy levels
and overlord/subject can not downgrade/upgrade to these autonomy levels
how to get version 1.13.4, i got a decent looking mod for it but i cant change it to that specific version
Would making 2 focuses after the 2nd partion of Poland coring the Ukrainan bit and Belarusian bit be filler?
Adding focuses?
provinces
Yeah
so can you help
do you know how to make certain countries have something while others dont
You'd have to be more specific then that
how to get version 1.13.4, i got a decent looking mod for it but i cant change it to that specific version
or does anyone know a mod that cna do everything as the commands but in multiplayer?
Pretty much all mods are compatible between minor versions
If you boot with the mod enabled you'll see it will work fine
wich is best i put it to?
Not to butt-in to the conversation, but does this portrait look good?
so lets say i want romania and hungary to have a certain idea
how do i make that work
The current version is fine
helpššš
oh okay ty
You can give them the idea
Idk what u mean lol
Yuh that's my mod
Giving a national spirit to a country that adds +25 attack defence and +30 construction and stuff like that is excessive imo
the only thing bro answersš”š”š”š”ššššš„¶
Actually, here is a really good question
Put ur request in one msg
Would it be difficult to make every province in Ireland its own state?
i already did multiple times
"State" I should say.
is there like a specific rule to not help me or something
Not particularly, you can use the nudge tool which is helpful
or are my problems too advanced
Mate I have no idea what you want
bitmap and defibition hate eachother and spam coastal errors
Can you send a SS?
troops work fine
Cool
Anyone have the game crash when playing kaiserredux?
It crashes on specific dates only too, mainly may 1st 1939
if it does something important or an event then its fine
I don't mind including filler focuses tbh
As long as they aren't completely useless, focuses that add like factories or a small idea buff arent bad
this good?
Yeah of course adding 30 30 day focuses to integrate Ukrainian and Belarusian States is excessive
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
how do I disable the default autonomy system?
i got this to work by the way
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.
You can override the folder by putting replace_path = "common/autonomous_states" in both of your mod's descriptor files
Does it still show the error for that specific province?
yea
this one?
Both of them
That one yeah
And the one in the folder just outside that one
Which should be yourmodname.mod or smth
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
is it possible to access the design cost modifiers from Officer Corps from national idea? (couldn't find them in the game files š¤ )
Stuff like "Cavalry Unit Design Cost: ā100%"
I'd like to make a mod that would make division editing free without changing the defines.
do you guys also do medical help?
i recently added a cosmetic tag and now my mod dosent work anymore can someone help?
i did experiment with map making and i remember this is not good
but i do not remember how i fixed it
it may be something with the colors of your map not being right
but if i had to be honest map creating is way too much of a headache and commitment to do if you're not a really experienced modder
there is much more to hoi4 countries than you think and i would not bother with new maps if i was you
make a new focus tree, perhaps mess with some kind of a mechanic
but don't create a whole new world
is there a mod that addes the road the 56 focus trees only?
In documents/pdx/hoi4 do you have a map folder that contains a definition.csv file?
I could make that for you in two seconds but it wouldn't work well since the focus trees would require the other aspects of rt56 to function properly
Where did you make the cosmetic tag? And what do you mean by "doesn't work"?
Its just Gone, the Country i made just disappeared
Cosmetic file in localisation folder
What happens if you remove that file from the mod?
Because localisation shouldn't affect anything other than text
In fact it can't
Does your localisation file have l English?
If it doesn't the mod will crash
god
mod name?
North America divided
Yes
Ill try
i think im experienced
yes
That might be overriding the one in your mod
they seem to be exactly same and even if i get rid of one it still shows up
which are you getting rid of?
not modded one i think
get rid of the one in the documents folder
which one
the one not in ur mod
didnt change amythimg
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

or this??
it literally says in error what it means
but what i need to do for remove that errors
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?
hmmm delete the focus?
but fun is that game still showing focuses
No
you give one of the focuses a unique name
that is not literally the name of the other focus
unique?
you mean delete the TAG from name?
that is not the same name
dont have focuses with same name/ID
every focus needs to have a different name
Understand @obtuse condor
?
all focus have different names
they clearly don't in code
here check for your self
i want to modify the same national spirit with the two lower foci, how can i do that?
you must create 2 different variants
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
thank you
Iykyk
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
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
Is Xnconvert good/safe?
ive seen some bad reviews and some people say that windows detected it as dangerous
wdym
Since allot of Mods don't work after new updates
The ones that work get like a small boost
when new update comes out, people are keen to try out vanilla first
and then go back to mods
of course, faster you adopt your mod - the better
yo bro
i just tried to mod and every country had its flag and leader disappear
š
do i need to add every flag in to the mod or?
good for new players
š
thanks
it will generate localisation for you
you can upload GFX
super easy
holy shit
now all i need is a focus tree
and its gonna be the best mod hoi4 has ever seen
š¤£
even with edge.hoi4modding it will take years
What is the localization key for the amount of resources exported to one country from another? the key resource_exported only defines total resources exported. I've dug through the game files but it seems like this key is a hardcoded value...
Thanks!
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
Make your own defines file
with a different name
@timber zenith why cant i make changes to already existing defines file in the mod folder
i am new to modding
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^
notepad++, only making 10 lines of code changes in the 00_defines.lua file
Yes but I mean when you create the mod
i manually made folders and files
Or are you modifying the files directly from the hoi4 install?
no not directly, only in the mod folder
What's the directory of that?
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
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
@timber zenith how can i see if the mod has loaded or not,
is there a command or setting for that ingame
I'm not sure
make a change to something obvious, like change a state's ownership or something
@timber zenith thanks again bro everything working fine now
nice, no problem
help
ask in the modding coop
ur issue is a little too complex for this server lol
Want me to sent the link ?
sus
???
The modding coop is a sever
wherw
bro just tell me already
I can just sent the link if you want to
just send it
Ok in dm since this place doesnt allow advertising
is there a hoi4 mod which makes hell/outworld invade earth?
I dont think so
zombies?
Yeah
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
I mean, i could do that, but somehow it'll confuse the shit out of me when i try to figure wtf i was trying to make
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
I guess, it'll also give me time to come with an actual good lore š¤
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!")
Yeah i get what are you saying, originally i was thinking to do the focuses first and then make the focus look more like a focus then straight branches, but now i think i'll only have like, the base focus and make the whole tree look better, and then name the focus and make some cool ass icons
Yo, does anyone know if there is a mod with Sacred war but it starts in 1936 with the borders that time?
idk but if you're looking for a realistic ww2 mod then The Darkest hour is probably a good choice
it starts in 1933 though
That's the map mod
this is the full mod
Arha thanks I will check it out
Like if we dident think about Japan has taken the coast its something like that but i will check it out Thanks for the mod and help š
i don't understand the game's problem i really don't
The focus works, all the other focuses recognize the focus, but the game thinks it doesn't exist
Ai also ignores this focus
even though i set it to do it right after rhineland in ai_focuses
Search in most subscribed for like a couple minutes
yeah i know, im just doing this as a joke for my friend
Yo dudes, i have a problem with the states.. can someone help me?
Working on a mod that adds more states, and for some reason Hungary doesn't get Prekmurje even though I edited the Ljubjana award code, so Hungary does get it
How do i fix this????
nvm got it working
Nvm got it working too
But i got another problem, someone care to help? š
Is there a way to give certain countries reduced warscore in wars?
Lend lease
one way to fix an error is to ignore it
Anyone know if I can make the mio screen bigger?
2 CE to 9999 CE
unique focus trees for every country, unique leaders, decisions.. etc

Bro⦠is that real???
Like you could rewrite history or what
Im not believing you now

hey im trying to play multiplayer but I can't figure out what version/mod to use
How do my ideological icons look so far?
no
Wunderbar.
You gained space on your computer lol
i feel like all icons being objects and then communism being people is kind of weird
perhaps commies should just get their standard hammer and sickle
I needed a way to separate it from National Marxism.
hmm perhaps you can put the hammer and sickle, but make them yellow, and put marx in the background
casual focus tree planning
What program is that?
can anyone help me with making that picture bigger?
I have obviously changed the gui sizes but I can't work out what's doing the picture in the middle
is there an american civil war mod?
Is there a way to play videos within hoi4
Like could i make a event with a gif as the image
I wana make a super event ( if those are a vanilla thing) with a intro cutscene for my mod
wdym
you can just start one
in the USA
i mean, sorta, but i cannot larp as the north marching through georgia with sherman
i mean
i can march through georgia with shermans
but its not quite the same, tank treads dont quite do the same job
I mean it's kinda different era combat
yeah haha
back then they didn't use all-front assaults
i wonder if other paradox games covered it, i havent played eu4 or vic3
true, and the western front was nuts
horrific warfare
not that it was the fault of those fighting it, guerilla warfare just be like that
victoria was 1836-1936
so defo covers that
victoria 3 is basically the hoi4 prequel
as hoi4 starts in '36
that server advanced fr
but i must not leave my homies
A mod where the whole map is just the Mexican Revolution of 1910
not advanced enough apparently smh
because you are there
Meanie
Is there a discord server that could help me with making a mod? Like advice or answering questions
that one austrian mapper's perfect europe be like lol
U must be talking about me xD
idk who you are but if this is your perfect europe then yes
trynna make something and this mafaka decided to leavešš
"Screw you guys, I'm going home."
whats the modifier for wargoal justification time?
i could not find it anywhere
want to make them a bit faster
whyyyyyy
is the balkan war not starting
this is my 5th try
after 4 hours
whyyyy
what the hell is serbia doing
Ottomans: hey im waiting for that war...
Serbia: No thanks
Bulgaria: hmm?
Greece: Nah
Montenegro: what's happening?
i want to make a mod with a friend of mine. i have created some files already and uploaded them to a github repository. when he tries to clone it, the mod doesnt show up in his launcher. Any advise how to fix that?
we tried editing the path in the .mod file, but that didn't do anything
nevermind we just cloned it in the wrong folder
š¤¦āāļø
How do I get a thumbnail on my mod?
Iāve tried to add one but every time I use thumbnail.png it fails to upload
In my mod Bulgaria can start the 5th Balkan War lol
is there any cool mods that are like other universes? like kiassereich or old world blues?
glory to Bulstotzka
hi
how do i make synthetic refinery not share building slots
share slots = no
works but that moves the refinery icon the radar's place in construction menu and radar icon becoms off center and out of place
might just be me because i haven't played it much but millenium dawn isn't very war based is it?
You know what would be hilarious? If someone made a mod that literally added the San Andreas Republic to the map, with the fascist or nonaligned party being Epsilonists.
does anyone know why debugmode isn't making things update in game when I change them in a mod?
if you add new files then you have to reopen the game, debug only works if you're changing existing files
and if you are changing existing files, then i have no idea
maybe you didn't save?
I'm changing a mio
I swear it worked earlier
seems it is working if I modfiy other things
i also sometimes face some weird unexplainable bugs when modding i guess it's just the nature of hoi4 modding
i hope you figure this out
Is that another Germany won WW1 mod?
Need a mod that is āWhat if Romania lost WW1?ā
There should be a mod of like what if Germany lost WW1
Too unrealistic.
(All it does is mess with country colours)
What're you gonna ask next? What if the 13 colonies became free?
This would be really funny. Make a mod titled something crazy like "Rise of Ashes: What if Germany Lost the Great War" and give it some crazy overdesigned logo, but when you load it up it is just vanilla HOI4 with some palette swaps lol
Maybe if i get into HOI4 modding thatll be my first mod
you could actually do something interesting with this if you supposed certain historical contingencies, e.g. the german workers' revolution succeeding but so in turn the whites in russia succeeding
(and as with KR, no USA entry)
some other conceits you could utilize for it are a nationalist turn in france as communism is seen as "german"
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"
Know what I havenāt seen?
A mod that asks āWhat if Germany lost WW2?ā
Unless that already exists and I havenāt seen it.
Wonder if anyone will get what this is a reference to. (Not the Oppenheimer movie)
Like a fuherredux sort of thing?
Kinda, yeah.
Always pictured it as war started in 1938 and ending in 42 or something like that
Yes, but less wacky
No switching sides or stuff
Like a purely Western Allies v Germany with Soviets doing their own things
"Unionize the Youth!"
instead of germany won ww1 mods
how about if prussia won the First Schleswig War
where do you get custom focus icons? do you just make them yourself? what program to make them?
ive always wondered abt that
Anyone know any mods to increase performance and fps
Try FPS map and uhhh non-reflective water.
Also turn down your graphical settings. That helped me.
I did lol
I'm on minimal settings
HOI4 will take even the best of computers and absolutely drop them to their knees.
It's craaaazy.
I'm running this on what might as well be a 1940s vacuum tube computer
Sounds groovy lol
It says non reflective water included with it
It didn't work well
I mean the map changed yeah
But still shitty fps
Uhhh
What kinda specs you got?
I used to have a really crappy laptop I played on.
Like, years and years ago.
No coue
When I tell you it took literally a day to get to 1937, I'm not playing.
i5 core I think
Other specs suck too
I used to have a good laptop but I snapped it in half because of anger
Is there a mod that adds a simpler 2d closeup map?
Like when I'm zoomed out it's simple
But zoomed in it's still detailed
yes
Feelz bad man
Yeah
buy a new one
im using a laptop with i9 12900h
i mean it has to calculate the AI for over 78 countries (1939 start date)
look at EU4, its even worse
by mid game even a computer with 128 gigs will be extremely slow
So crazy
Itās really a miracle it works at all.
I wonder if itāll run good still if you disable AI.
Then just let it run
more division will make game running slow
it works even better than HOI4 actually
much smoother and can handle a lot more
@dreamy matrix which mod is this ?
I make it
looks nice
send me the link i'll test it if u want
or just the name, i'll find it
im not upload it in workshop now
oh ok
i will give u a link later
it's currently the beta version i guess
i am already make a demo now
ok
looks cool
You can see the yugoslavia focus tree now
this looks like germany won ww1 but in a complete different timeline, with fascist france (fascist germany in our timeline, here france lost the war and a radical party came out i think) and soviet union
yes
and the french border demilitarized lol this looks incredible
it just a early version
and by the way,if u wanna join us to make this mod,u can dm me
damn maybe the backstory behind this is that france failed to defend paris during the shleffen plan
@dreamy matrix idk, im also working in a mod so i don't have time currently
:3
for all the french users who wants to explore a semi-alternative history, here's my new mod : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3053636126&searchtext=
it's called TBOR
@wooden shore wow I just made JAP AI escalates war with China without delay + Ichi Go and they nearly flatten CHI AI by the end of 1939
just need Chongqing + 1 more VP (since Chinese Unity)
very good 
infinitely better than vanilla JAP AI

just a bit more
time to code better naval invasion into JAP AI
lmao
need better code for JAP AI nonetheless
collab?
or is that too hard for the ai
š¤ ye they can put collab actually
lemme code it into them
ok, I hope two collab will do
š¤
@wooden shore collab doesn't work very well for JAP AI

well, let's see if I can improve on that
Brazil

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2YEDw4tUQ4 what mod is in this video?
Sometimes you have to pull out all the stops to survive in the WW2 world and that's exactly what Tommy did in this WW2 Multiplayer aka Hearts of Iron 4 MP.
He needed to ally Germany to survive and that required working with the most evil man in history.
This is Sweden in HOI4 Multiplayer...
⤠S...
Road to 56 and Road to 56 RP (Discardian Edition)
what mod is that?
how about naval
Can the navy beat the Allies
honestly, no
I made it with some guys
lol USA AI can get like 50-75 dockyard in 1939, and they already make good botes
even with tora^3, JAP AI would still lose
I am the main code
wanna help you?
but some times if u lucky vanilla JAP can beat usa navy
cuz vanilla US is slightly weak in 1941
I need help š
lol my US AI has more factory than GER AI at outbreak of WW2

every type of factory
larger army too
make a better ger ai
it is already better

it just cannot outbuild improved USA AI
us has double factories compare to ger

SOV AI has been improved enough it kills vanilla GER in 1941-1942
yet modded GER AI can actually bash SOV AI until D-Day
vanilla sov ai is the worse ai
hey yoi
how do you fix nudger creating broken files
