[versed skiff]

hi

hi

[fathom wasp]

thanks

[sour sable]

why wouldn't it

[empty shale]

just asking since majority of its comments are like "it doesnt work"

although by ur answer i assume it works so thanks

[sour sable]

it does for me, yes

[empty shale]

allright

[pine lagoon]

Thats actually a pretty good idea

[keen parrot]

hello

[west wadi]

Yo, any opinions on this focus tree so far?

[keen parrot]

is it possible

to create

a new state

[keen parrot]

made out of 1 tile

[west wadi]

Yeah, it is

I already did that

[keen parrot]

like

i wanna create a new state

only containing one tile

[keen parrot]

you could add 2 options for the fascist route

[west wadi]

I already have 3 options in mind

[keen parrot]

since there was a pole and a poet as main fascist

and they were in opposition

you could make it so that u go one specific route

and if u lose any of the core territories

you can bring the legionnaires

through a decision

[west wadi]

Alright thats a 4th option

[keen parrot]

to keep a history friendly route

[west wadi]

True

[random robin]

Can anyone tell who is on the advisor portraits?

[west wadi]

An alien

[keen parrot]

this one looks like

the commie leader of iran

[west wadi]

Tho, here is my one tile state(if you can't see it, look at the last A in the name)

[keen parrot]

in game

[random robin]

Nikolai Bukharin

[keen parrot]

alright

i ll look how to make that

[random robin]

It's a lizard character from a furry manga.

[west wadi]

..

[keen parrot]

nvm

[random robin]

Unironically one of the best mangas I've ever read lol

and I don't even like manga

Highly recommend.

[keen parrot]

this is about hoi4 modding

not furries

[random robin]

Don't be hating

It isn't the only reference I've put into my mod.

Along some others...

[west wadi]

Why are you making a furry mod in the first place tho? 🤔

[random robin]

It isn't lol

It's a timeline where Leon Trotsky came to power in the Soviet Union lol

I'm just sneaking in little easter eggs into the files.

[west wadi]

Damn, i see

Rate my unfinished focus tree then

[keen parrot]

make refferences

to the fact that he s jewish

same for lenin

and karl marx

[random robin]

I'm not an anti-Semite.

[keen parrot]

how is it anti semite

[mystic lava]

probs better than vanilla

[keen parrot]

vanilla is a little more accurate

because romanian political status is a joke

and always was

[west wadi]

It will dw

[west wadi]

Blame that on the people

Although my romanian history knowledge is greater than the universe, so i know my shits

[mystic lava]

surely

[west wadi]

I need to add 5 more political branches to it

[mystic lava]

how can the king be back in 1936 when romania already has a king on a throne btw

i would say larp failed

[west wadi]

It was a democracy in 1936, the king wasn't power

[mystic lava]

it is still a kingdom with a king in power

even if a constitutional monarchy

[west wadi]

Yeah but the king had no power, plus some names are temporary, so i might change some focus names, like the king one

[mystic lava]

also can you tell me how you fix corruption in 35 or 70 days

during one focus

[west wadi]

Its 120 days focus

Tho as i said some names are temporary

[mystic lava]

so you start a focustree with a 120 day focus. Goofy aaa

[west wadi]

The Soviet focus tree does the same 🤔

[mystic lava]

maybe a short focus named something else and decisions would be better

[west wadi]

First i need to add some national focuses to debuf the country

[mystic lava]

yeah but it is not a good practise. Short focuses and content in decisions just flows better for gameplay.

[west wadi]

I guess, tho the mod its still in its baby phase, so there is time to fix inaccuracies

[mystic lava]

Like there is some stuff for romania in a mod i am working with. There is bunch of cool stuff related to the decay of romanian political system in 1936 you could use for alt hist stuff.

instead of generic "fix corruption"

i will post a pic soom

[west wadi]

Alr alr

[mystic lava]

this is what i mean

could be widened quite easily for more paths as well after the 37 elections

[west wadi]

Yoo thats a cool focus tree, love the icons too

I wonder where he got his icon resources

Tho, this gave me an idea 🤔
What if i delete the first 2 focuses, and leave only the ideology ones, and then develop them as mini focus trees 🤔

Obv every ideology will be mutually exclusive to each other, so you can only choose one

[mystic lava]

https://gitlab.com/association-of-modders/aom-shared-assets

+rest made yourself

[west wadi]

Thanks dude, gonna make some crazy icons 😤

Ofc i need focuses for them first 😩

[west wadi]

Its kinda annoying they always have the psd format files

[mystic lava]

you can get a pds plugin for paint.net

if you arent into "acquiring" photoshop

[west wadi]

I can easily pirate photoshop, but i am not the biggest fan of that- i work easier on paint.net

[grim laurel]

if u can write a decision and click it to rename ur country

like an country rename thing

[random robin]

@west wadi

[west wadi]

Huh

[random robin]

Have you read For My Legionaries?

[west wadi]

Nah, i've heard of it tho

[random robin]

Very interesting read.

I read it in my freshman year.

I read that and an English translation of Das Kapital.

[west wadi]

Is it a big book?

[random robin]

It's about 500 pages long.

But the way it's organized, it's not like a traditional book.

The version I have has a prolouge section from the publishing company basically explaining why it is that way.

[west wadi]

Ah, not that much

[random robin]

Basically the way they explain it is because "Codreanu was at war" so the book is less formatted like a regular piece of literature and more so like a political manifesto and have journal. With pages and chapters formatted more like statistics, plans, operation and personal ancidotes from Codreanu as well as his upbrining, what led to his ideological views and some smaller things like his faith.

[west wadi]

Tbh, this seems like would really help me to develope my mod. Tbh, i don't know much about Codreanu, since i never thaught of him as someone interesting, but seems i might buy the book

[random robin]

I highly recommend.

I have a whole part of my "library" dedicated to political literature.

DM me and I'll show you.

[west wadi]

Ight bet

[cerulean panther]

am i doing something wrong here because its not spawning the units or creating templete

i did sample this off Cuba's unit code

If theres not a weekly option could just divide 0.1 by 7 to simulate getting 0.1 per week

[red raptor]

what mod be good for the USA cause every time I try to do what it says on you tube my logistics is always zero and I want some fun mods as well like cheat mods and god mods if possible

[nimble solar]

When your logistics are zero, build convoys and or trains

[red raptor]

ok I don't know how to build trains cause all the trains are already built in the USA I don't know if there is room for more trains?

@nimble solar

[nimble solar]

You can have infinite trains

[red raptor]

ahh

@nimble solarare there any fun mods to use with the USA?

[nimble solar]

Uhh, Kaiserreich has a fun 2ACW

I enjoy vanilla USA lol

[red raptor]

damn so no fun mods for the USA wow everyone hates the USA or something?

the only thing I hate about the USA is the segregation bs

so there is no good mods for the USA ?

[random robin]

If you know, you know lol

[red raptor]

wow smdh why so much hate for the USA? and I am a pro USA player and they have weakness's as well so why not have mods for the USA?

[random robin]

What...?

[red raptor]

YA its the truth and FYI I am a combat vet every country has weaknesses USA is no exemption if the US was so strong back then we would of defended pearl harbor better hell my late grandfather fought both japanese and germans even he said we had weaknesses in certain areas

So again why the hate to the USA and hardly any mods for the USA?

[random robin]

My friend, my buddy, my brother, my chum, my amigo, my comrade, it was a reference to a YouTube series.

Also I'm a crappy mod dev and writer. I'm not gonna make a mod that just makes the USA OP, I don't think anyone is gonna do that.

[red raptor]

How in the heck USA is OP when they too have weaknesses as well?

[random robin]

Now I'm confused. What are you trying to say?

[red raptor]

back in WW2 some of the tech we had wasn't as good at all all we did was mass produce the tech and didn't even get newer tech until towards the end of WW2 even my late grandfather said they needed better weapons at that time

@random robin

So what you are saying is USA is OP? if that was the case WW2 would of ended in 43 at the most

[random robin]

Dude.

I'm just trying to show off assets from my mod.

Do you need help?

[red raptor]

well I did ask if there are any good mods/fun mods for the USA and I get a answer no cause USA is OP when in fact they are not

[random robin]

Try R56, I guess.

I didn't get that impression at all.

[red raptor]

well I tried R56 for some reason it bugs out the news reports that I get multiple news reports of the same thing

[random robin]

I don't know then.

[red raptor]

its ok

I guess there are not that many USA players its mostly the Germany and Russia and Great Brit smdh

[random robin]

Here is a teaser for my mod if you're at all interested. I guess.

[obtuse condor]

Im a italy main

As well as USSR and Poland

For one simple reason

They have the most content

USA and UK were last updated in 2019

Germany and Japan 2018

France 2020

Those 5 majors are in dire need of an update

[red raptor]

@obtuse condorwell why couldn't the USA have same amount of mods made for them hell I even seen weaknesses within the USA tech tree like I said USA will not get any good tech tree until towards the end of WW2

[obtuse condor]

Maybe cause the USA didnt have any interesting events compared to the countries in europe 🤷 (ie Russian civil war, German and italian instability in the 20’s balkan wars between the Little entente and Hungary)

In short just not a lot to work with and to the point USA is mundane compared to europe at this time and would require alot of creative vision

[red raptor]

I understand that I know my war history but to think the US is OP is crazy in its self

[obtuse condor]

Kaiserredux is the only good expanded USA mod and it takes place in alternate timeline

[red raptor]

the only country at this time period would be Germany

[obtuse condor]

The USA is not op

In kaiserredux

[red raptor]

well without mods US is def not OP cause I seen plenty of weaknesses

the tech is horrible for 1 cause it takes them towards the end of WW2 to even break through the political system was weak as well especially letting the south run things instead of being equal and the BS segregation laws made the US more weaker not to mention too many citizens wear either weak or too afraid to do the right thing and get it right I can go on but you get where I am getting at

@obtuse condor

[obtuse condor]

Yeah I’m not sure what your talking about

Not sure what irl politics has to do with hoi4 gameplay

I mean its a slippery slope if we add in something controversial

“Looks at TNO and sweats nervously”

[red raptor]

um I am a combat vet as well was my late grandfather who fought both the Japanese and the Germans even he said that the tech in that time was weaker compaired to Germany we didn't get better tech until we was at the end of WW2

[obtuse condor]

True

I guess in that way USA could have some more negative modifiers

[red raptor]

@obtuse condorall I am saying is who ever thinks that the USA without mods is OP is really not looking at the US tech tree like I am

[obtuse condor]

Ah okay

I have a USA mod planned out but its still in the draft phase

Makes em very realistic

You will not be ready for war until 1942

Thats my plan

[red raptor]

I mean I did some research when I tried out Germany and Japan and Russia for examples their tech trees was far more OP compaired to the US

[obtuse condor]

Russia got nerfed in 2021

[red raptor]

wow

[obtuse condor]

With the no step back dlc

[red raptor]

go figure

[obtuse condor]

They are even weaker if they get rid of stalin

As they loose divs in a civil war

[red raptor]

I have all the DLC's but not the newest ones

[obtuse condor]

And the most valuable thing of all (historical mode only) time

[red raptor]

ahh

[obtuse condor]

Yeah I was disappointed by the return of the Tsar path

On average I could get the tsar as early as January 1939

[red raptor]

well I was hoping that the US would have some mods that would benefit them but I guess not

all the mods I see for the US is to make them more weaker comapred to Russia and Germany

[obtuse condor]

My mod idea usa cannot even train regular divisions at the statrt

[red raptor]

ahh

[obtuse condor]

And they would have the cut military budget spirt

[red raptor]

I just wish there were mods that benefit the US

[obtuse condor]

Which would slow down military factory and dockyard construction speed

[red raptor]

hell I lost WW2 in 2 different play throughs

@obtuse condor these are the DLC's I have

[proper acorn]

How do I resolve these errors?

[pale sparrow]

Nudger for those top ones

Unitstacks is the only thing you really should use nudger for

[proper acorn]

do I click on it?

@pale sparrow

[pale sparrow]

Probably

unless you wanna manually correct

or possibly if provinces are shaped weird

How can I make it so a country "collapses" at a specific date?

for example, what if I want to make Turkey collapse at exactly 1.1.1937

[timber zenith]

Wdym by collapse tho

[humble cedar]

just like

get annexed by a nother country

[edgy solar]

a way I can think of is making an event fire at a certain point and it having a hidden effect that gives it's terrority to other countries

[humble cedar]

well i was just going to split up a new country i made which is located in Constantinople

the straits comission so to say.

and then give it between turkey and greece which would lead to a Greco-Turkish war

[edgy solar]

well you could use an event fired at a time to give control or ownership to the strait commison nation

[obtuse condor]

Hmmm I should add the 4 Bavarian nations bayern-straubing bayern-munchen bayern-landahut and bayern-inglostadt

[raw lodge]

Guys, how do I share ideas here in the GUI? Do you have to wait for some kind of government vote or something?

[obtuse condor]

How would I make a revolt so a certain county controls certain provinces of a state?

[nimble solar]

This is TNO, no idea

[obtuse condor]

And the country starts with unitss

[nimble solar]

I just know that TNO has a tick system

if it gets high enough, the status changes

or low enough

[fallow forum]

Hello, I would like to add a state to the map and have also paid attention to everything that is written on the official website of the modding, butthe game crashes when loading. And I don't know why. Some time ago I copied other states from another mod, which is why the state here has the number 941. But I don't understand why the game accepts the new states from the mod, but my new written state doesn't.

[deep night]

They seem to be talking about mods here, so I’ll describe my problem here. Sorry for my English, I am using a translator so the translation may not be correct. I played with the mod, made a save and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning I saw that the mod had been updated, I loaded the save that I made on the old version of the mod and as soon as I unpaused the game it crashed.

[timber zenith]

Nothing you can do in that situation

[timber zenith]

States must be in numerical order

You can't skip any numbers

The game crashes because it can't find states 935-940

[fallow forum]

This states from 935 to 940 exists, I used it from an other mod

[deep night]

Seriously? Is this how it works? If the author of the mod updates it, do I need to start the game again? This is very sad.

This is complete nonsense, an update happens and all my saves become non-working. And since the update occurs automatically, I can’t even decide to update the mod or not.

how do i make my country a puppet of the uk

[scenic sonnet]

only with cheats

[timber zenith]

ENG = { puppet = ROOT }

[quick citrus]

Who is ROOT

[scenic sonnet]

ROOT is the tag of the nation you want to puppet

[timber zenith]

ROOT is you

Basically it's a stand-in for whatever country is interacting with it

so if it's a decision, ROOT is the country that selects that decision
if it's a focus, it's the country doing the focus
etc

You can put the tag of your nation there instead if that simplifies it

[timber zenith]

HUBBA HUBBA 😍

no like in files, cuz im making a new nation

[rose heath]

is there any way for a decision to add a random country leader trait?
remove_effect = {
add_country_leader_trait = underage_monarch
}
this line of code adds whatever trait i desire, but is there any way for it to randomize the trait?

tried
add_country_leader_trait = random
add_country_leader_trait = any
add_country_leader_trait

but none of these work and the last one crashes the game

[scenic sonnet]

Ok... The hoi4 wiki usually has the answer at all this in the section "Effects". Maybe you find something useful

[rose heath]

for the unit leader there's add_random_trait = { old_guard brilliant_strategist inflexible_strategist }

it only uses the listed traits but i suppose that's not a problem

idk if it will work with the country leader though

hmm i don't think it works

add_country_leader_trait
remove_country_leader_trait
swap_country_leader_traits
seem to be the only things related to country leaders

[scenic sonnet]

Try to put in "add_random_trait" if it works, cheers.

[rose heath]

it doesn't seem to work as it considers country leader traits to be invalid

[scenic sonnet]

Mh, so if you want the best country leader trait is "master of politics"

Idk if in English is translated in this way but is the trait of Alcide de Gasperi. You can check if is that

[rose heath]

i think i've got another idea

random_list = {
10 = {
add_stability = 0.5
}
10 = {
add_manpower = 10000
}
10 = {
add_war_support = 0.5
}
10 = {
army_experience = 100
}
}

there's this right

perhaps i can make a mod that would add like maybe 40 new bonus country leader traits each having a 2.5% chance to be added for each time you spend 150 pp on a decision

that could be fun i suppose although i wanted the button to include all of the existing traits

but i suppose bonus new ones are alright too

for the portraits you can remove the background with a website called removebg
and then you can just copy and paste the people in this template

it will make your portraits look way better and it takes like 2 minutes

[scenic sonnet]

Wait, really?

Oh my god I didn't know, thanks

[rose heath]

remember about proper file formats but since your portraits work i assume you already know that

[scenic sonnet]

Yeah I remember

I'm adding a balance of power between the democratic factions and the king/extremist I have to choose

@timber zenith where tho? i checked but couldnt find it anywhere

[timber zenith]

Hey mate

It's the generate_wargoal_tension in the modifiers, you can change it to 0.25 for 25%

[violet ravine]

ohh...

i thought it was how much tension you would generate if you were to justify a wargoal, multiplied by other modifiers

thanks man u are a life safer

[timber zenith]

No worries

[potent raptor]

making a mod,
whenever i remove the recruit character section of the history file, england breaks
fully

does anyone know what causes this?

[scenic sonnet]

You shouldn't remove the recruit character section. What do you need to add?

[scenic sonnet]

Ok I added a balance of power at my mod and understood how to change the gfx. So, what's next?

[grim laurel]

short question: how do I make focus trees

[random robin]

What did Paradox mean by this? 🤨🤨🤨

[potent raptor]

the hitler portrait is my doing

[random robin]

What did YOU mean by this? 🤨🤨🤨

[potent raptor]

i dont have the actual portrait for elizabeth yet so hitler is a placeholder

[random robin]

A likely story...

[grim laurel]

Thx bro

[proper acorn]

np

[random ember]

Depends on your mod's to pick, maybe add decisions for the balance power ?

[scenic sonnet]

Already did it

[scenic sonnet]

If you want to try that and tell me what's wrong it will be useful

[random ember]

I don't understand the answer, what's wrong? Do you want feedback?

[scenic sonnet]

Yeah like, if I made something wrong

[random ember]

OK

[south folio]

Have the bonuses changed? I haven't played for a while and when looking at my mods 'fighter_equipment' 'nav_bomber_equipment' 'strat_bomber_equipment' are all invalid in the 'equipment_bonus = {}' context.

[pale sparrow]

@nocturne impYou cant self-promote such stuff

[nocturne imp]

Sorry.

[rose heath]

ok but this will unironically be the strongest country

the whole gimmick of china is uniting all of the warlords to become stronger

if you have all of chinese cores at the start with almost 7 million manpower and great late game economy potential nobody can stop you

if you want something like this you should probably give it a hell ton of negative national spirits and maybe even some civil war shenanigans

[summer lotus]

only if they want balancing

on a side note

I need balancing too

D-Day is so hard for AI to do

do I make the Axis dumber?

Question. Is it possible to apply support company modifiers to modules? For example, applying a logistics company modifier to a tank module:

        abbreviation = "widetracks"
        category = tank_special_module
        sfx = sfx_ui_sd_module_turret

        add_stats = {
            build_cost_ic = 1
            maximum_speed = -0.45
            supply_consumption_factor = 0.05
        }
        xp_cost = 3
        multiply_stats = {
            
        }
    }```

[scenic sonnet]

Ih, anybody know how to mod GUI?

[scenic sonnet]

So, I don't think it's possible

[brave furnace]

Thanks for replying. I just figured that out.

[scenic sonnet]

yes, btw you can use the classic templates

Any ideas why Canada's flag changing works when they are a subject of the UK

but Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa's doesnt change

i want them to have different flags when independent

but they do not work, only Canada does

in the localisation files, Canada goes by CAN_UK, but i set the others as AST_UK, SAF_UK, and NZL_UK

would changing it to AST_ENG, etc. fix it?>

[cerulean panther]

What's the line that makes two focuses mutually exclusive? I tried one that I sampled off german focus tree and it didn't work

[timber zenith]

mutually_exclusive = { focus = TAG_focus_name }

You'll have to put it in both focuses in order for it to function correctly

[cerulean panther]

Oh for some reason that just made my focuses invisible

[timber zenith]

Did you get the brackets correct?

[cerulean panther]

Yeah. I put the code for both focuses right after each other too

[timber zenith]

focuses turning invisible is likely an issue with { or } closing incorrectly

Use notepad++ and highlight one of the brackets, and if the correct corresponding bracket highlights, it's not broken

[cerulean panther]

It didn't show any problems

[timber zenith]

Can you upload the file?

[cerulean panther]

I use visual studio code

[cerulean panther]

Sure

[timber zenith]

I think that has functionality for something similar

[cerulean panther]

How do I do that? Upload the file

[timber zenith]

Drag and drop the file

[cerulean panther]

Ok

[random ember]

IDK, I don't never did that, you can ask here or research in internet posts

[cerulean panther]

here is the code for it. @timber zenith

Hold up. It's fixed

[timber zenith]

oop

[cerulean panther]

Now I just need to tie the two focuses I wanted to events that I had planned

[scenic sonnet]

Internet post where?

[random ember]

reddit for example

[scenic sonnet]

Oh ok, I'll figure something out

[north wave]

canada starts with a cosmetic tag at the start of the game that changes their flag to the dominion flag (CAN_UK). you could do the same with the other dominions by editing their history files to give them their dominion flags as cosmetic tags

[fallow forum]

I have a suggestion for a mod in the German Focus Tree in the German Empire section, namely Zimmermann's Telegram. For those who don't know: In 1917, the German State Secretary of the Foreign Office, Arthur Zimmermann, sent a telegram to the German embassy in Washington D.C. and the telegram is supposed to go from there, to a German envoy in Mexico. The goal was to achieve an alliance with Mexico should the USA enter the war against Germany. In return, Mexico would get parts of the southern USA if it would support Germany. If you, as a German imperial empire, end up in a war with the USA, an alliance with Mexico would be very advantageous.

i recommend adding a focus for taking back northern ireland

[cerulean panther]

It's still in development. That's going to be a focus later on. There will be also a secret focus tree or two if I figure out the rest

[barren oak]

the visible tag

[cerulean panther]

Yeah but I need to do the rest of the tree first and figure out how to add industry via focuses

[twilit stirrup]

Does anyone have a good list of mods for hoi4 section of a megacampaign? I am currently on that section of mine but I got a focus tree mod but it won't let me choose a focus

anyone know a simple tutorial that teaches how to make a custom country mod for myself? in the newest 1.13.7 patch?

i have played the game for over a thousand hours but im totally new to modding. i have found some tutorials but they seem to be outdated or somthn

[cerulean panther]

Try Iron Workshop on Youtube. His stuff still works even tho its like 2-3 years old

[quiet mural]

hello I'm trying to create a mod and I want to ask if somewhere all the different modifiers are not summarized e.g. add political power, add ideas, fascism drift. because it's really boring to look for them all how are they written correctly??

[quiet mural]

@pale sparrow already helped

[fervent agate]

what mod

[grim laurel]

I'm thinking of making a mod where WW1 was simply pure chaos, so the world is split in 3 sides and they split into more sides making a 29194881929 way war

and with fictional people

[grim laurel]

like soldiers that irl died on WW1 but didn't die on this new reality

hi. can anyone help me, I'm coding a mod but I'm facing a strange problem. as soon as a country (under AI control) ends up with more than 10 divisions (approximately ) the game crashes as soon as the pause is removed. How can I fix the problem?

[tropic isle]

one I'm making

[south folio]

You enabled the cheat that lets you start any focus at any time, the ai used it probably.

[south folio]

that's why

Anyone who played Komi what’s the best way to defeat West Russian Federation (The New Order Mod)?

They seem way too broken

[cerulean panther]

how do i lock a focus and make it only so it unlocks with an event?

[south folio]

You make the event cause a set_country_flag then have the focus locked behind that same flag with has_country_flag

[cerulean panther]

Can you show me an example?

[south folio]

How do you want it to work, you could either set the country flag on the event triggering or when you choose an option in the event.

[south folio]

Here is an example.

[grizzled sandal]

Vanilla or modded hoi4

[obtuse condor]

@south folio CAN YOU HELP ME MAKE A MOD

It very much depends on what you want to make.

are you sure its not for another issue?

[final tusk]

well after several tests, that's what I concluded

[obtuse condor]

i have seen this message

[south folio]

So, what does your mod effect? Do you have the error log of the crash/crashes. How much have you narrowed down the issue, like do you know at least what folder or file is causing the crash?

[mental depot]

Hey - are there any good vanilla hoi4 america focus tree expansions or tweaks? Specifically things that provide a bit of political depth with congressional laws, or other external affairs investments? the workshop doesnt have much that isnt kaiserreich or r56 or whatever that are total reworks

[full swallow]

not really a modding question but this feels like the most fitting chat for it

is there any ingame command for puppeting

that doesn't require tampering with files

I happen to find myself in a situation where I could use the ability of puppeting through console

[obtuse condor]

id: 964) and thus overriding first state.
[19:52:22][no_game_date][state.cpp:686]: Error: Province with id: 8185 is already added to state "Amazonas" ( with id: 495 ), adding it to state "Ionian Islands" ( with id: 964) and thus overriding first state.

If you have this error rename all the state files to their base game file name

[timber zenith]

the command is puppet

[full swallow]

this worked perfectly thxs

some guy asked in a forum why it didn't work for him and one of the answers implied it was a command available for modding but not for the console

but it appears they were just wrong lol

maybe the guy was using the wrong syntax or whatever

[raven forum]

Damn that looks good. How did you make them?

[round ermine]

i have a guide and video on it, but its just painting over sources with a black and white brush to define highlights and shapes

then recolorizing to make the color crisp

PLEASE FOR GOD, HELP ME WITH AUTO SAVE

DO IT STOP

please

i give my life to who help me

[fallow forum]

Auto Save?

Which problem do you have?

[timber zenith]

It might be gfx/FX/constants.fxh

Pdx updated the shader map which breaks custom map gfx (that file)

Delete it and see if it works

[chilly field]

can you make a save a mod? like if i upload the save game on the workshop will it work

[dreamy matrix]

auto save?

[tropic isle]

no the only way else to access it is by adding the save to your save files

[uncut moss]

Guys not only fps map is broken but most. Anyone got a fix?

Deleting a shader file wouldnt do it

[final tinsel]

is there anyway to use set_country_flag to show hidden focus tree?

i think set_country_flag has something problem

[twilit arch]

how do i fix this
my mod doesnt even add any new states or provinces?

[south folio]

You can probably look at NSB Poland for that, I believe they trigger a hidden focus tree.

[copper sentinel]

Is Millennium Dawn working for anyone?

[south folio]

It most definitely won't until they update it. Since the DLC added new states.

[lofty plaza]

You must still have conflicting state files somewhere

[digital heart]

[sonic bone]

I'm trying to install a mod from github,got the files, put it in my mod folder and moved the descriptor file out of the folder and into the root of the mod folder, though in the launcher it keeps saying theres no descriptor file

[obtuse condor]

yall i need someone to make a custom map for my mod

[timber zenith]

That's a pretty hard ask, you'd be better of learning and making it yourself

or paying someone

[timber zenith]

Use allow_branch = {has_country_flag = country_flag_name} in the first focus of the branch you want to hide

Then also put mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty = yesin the same spot that you set the country flag

[kind crypt]

How do i turn off my mods

Nvm

[obtuse condor]

the auto save comes every 2-3 days, and no matter how many times I set it to never happen, or every year, it still spams the auto save and makes my game stop

much much much times

Remove Blue Marble and try

Yeah I knwo how it feels but the two mods are just not compatibles

[fallow arch]

alr

ty tho

[scenic sonnet]

alr

also, i deflected Italy from Lybia, and the naval invasion of Anatolia, is there suppose to be a scripted peace deal?

i don't think i have the naval capitbilites to naval invade sicily

[slender brook]

Yeah there should be at some point, but I think it might be like X number of Italians must die or past a specific date

[fallow arch]

alr

just hope it's over before the first balkan war

im in august of 1912

bc ill be dead if its a two front war

also trying to reform the ecomony quickly as possible

I think that might've happened to me once

oh it is

[barren oak]

since your ottomans and are in the entente i recommend annexing greece since they arent your ally

they have lots of tungsten

[fallow arch]

yeah

i joined late game

had to revive the economy and warmachine again

russia lost its momentum and ima perpare a offensive of Bulgaria

then greece

[final tinsel]

ah, i forgot mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty = yes
thx!

[timber zenith]

no problem

[barren oak]

why does that have to be included and what does it actually do?

[timber zenith]

Reloads the focus tree pretty much

Doesn't reset anything, just reloads the layout

[lofty plaza]

It's a scripted effect to recheck the layout of the focus tree

Really minor but won't work without it

[timber zenith]

Yup

[deep carbon]

are there alternatives to using recruit_Character for hiding generals until a certain event triggers

[summer lotus]

Yes

In character files, characters may be hidden until flagged in visible = { }

Or disappears if flagged to be

[fossil jackal]

I have about 48 subscribed mods and it crashes while loading without any popup, where can I find the logs to see if it’s a memory crash or a compatibility crash?

[final tinsel]

i have one more question: is it possible to make retired leader return (by modding)?
(like Ramsay MacDonald and Stanley Baldwin in 1930s, UK)

[scenic sonnet]

try to use "promote_character"

[timber zenith]

You'd have to make a custom character for leaders that don't exist in game

[scenic sonnet]

Btw stanley baldwin exists

[timber zenith]

Yeah but Ramsay MacDonald doesn't

[scenic sonnet]

Yeah ok but he can take just him. If he want both ok, then he needs to create a new character

[final tinsel]

i mean: i want to change leader
like baldwin-macdonald-baldwin-macdonald-baldwin

[timber zenith]

You can trigger an event to promote the character at a certain date

[final tinsel]

if two characters have same sub-ideology, is it still possible?

[timber zenith]

You may have to retire the other character in her same event, but maybe not

It probably will work

[plain dove]

What it mean?

those errors are likely not related

no

[plain dove]

wdym?

game crashes after this error

[pale sparrow]

you might be able to do recruit_character, but that isnt to be used, instead, just dont retire the character when you promote a new one

Can anyone help me out with a mod to add a plane model?

I was making some tests

What i did was taking the AAT ju-52 model, files and editing the aat entities files for planes to only show it

It worked fine, but then I renamed it and corrected everything in the files, but now the texture is gone, what do I do?

Both files are show above, they should be working, have I forgotten to edit a name or I can never edit the name?

[valid apex]

save the diff image as dds

[wanton veldt]

it is DDS

[valid apex]

send me the file

[wanton veldt]

alright

[valid apex]

the mesh file too

[wanton veldt]

I've already found a workaround, I will just keep the model and give Sweeden's winterwar bomber another model

[wanton veldt]

alright

[valid apex]

found the problem wait me 2 min

[wanton veldt]

oh?

alright!

[valid apex]

it should work now

[wanton veldt]

Quick question, how to you open the file like that?

[valid apex]

blender

[wanton veldt]

Alright, I will try!

[valid apex]

with pdx plugin

[wanton veldt]

Thanks!

I'm curious, what did you do?

[valid apex]

i change the dds input in blender

[wanton veldt]

Is it needed everytime I edit the diffuse file?

[valid apex]

some do some don't

[wanton veldt]

Let me see if it opens, then check if it still opens after I edit

Well...

Might take some time to load

Done

Kind of works but, no shadows/lighting

I will stick to the workaround but, thanks!

[valid apex]

Ya i know bc i didn't ask where the spec and normal image are

[wanton veldt]

oh

its really hard to make it exactly as accurate so yeah that happens alot

wait, the definition file here, the excel file, it defines the provinces acording to the rgb color of the provinces file, right?

[errant bone]

yeah they did a little Bangladeshi Chungus trolling

[jade mauve]

i was fighting the inner demons of state modding before realizing the south american provinces looked a little more funky than ussual

[errant bone]

it also took me a long ass time, and there is still some shit i have yet to fix

just one extra thing, ive been looking for this error in the log, i tried looking for keywords like map, state, province, sea, ocean, strategic, error, etc.
cant find the damn error.
is there a specific word tied to these errors? similar to [MAP_ERROR]

[wanton veldt]

Can someone help me upload my mod? Tutorials weren't helpful, I did everything they said but still no sucess

After uploding to steam and downloading it, it says that there is no description file, and also no thumbnail, but I've uploaded both

[tropic isle]

instead of me getting that error my game just always crashes
anyways i always crash when i modify the map files lol

[jade mauve]

Never subscribe to your own mod

[wanton veldt]

Why not?

[jade mauve]

my best guess is, it messes with the files you make, as well as the directory of the mod itself

[wanton veldt]

ah

Well, what if the local one is also missing a thumbnail?

[jade mauve]

yeah, i did it once and had to remake the mod itself

[wanton veldt]

ah

[jade mauve]

from what ive seen, all locals miss it

[wanton veldt]

oh

The steam page also doesn't have it

but I uploaded

[jade mauve]

ok, that is weird

i have a mod that refuses to display the image for a reason but the mod works

[wanton veldt]

I downloaded my own mod to see if it would work if someone else installed it

[jade mauve]

you shouldn't really need to do that. Besides, people will let you know about the issues they encounter

[wanton veldt]

Well, alright then

[wanton veldt]

Managed to add a thumbnail

it needed to be a png less than 1mb

After restarting the pc it works!

[wanton veldt]

Can someone test it for me?

[tropic isle]

you could find the mod id in the workshop steam folder and delete it

if you are subscribed to your own mod

[jade mauve]

I guess yeah, I haven't tried

[stuck quarry]

im starting to really hate mod development ngl

i spend a month working on my mod

then the game updates

and now i have to seemingly completely redo the entire map

because the devs changed the vanilla map and now mine doesnt work anymore

[real matrix]

how do i use the run command

i wanted to test smth and it just shows unknown command on console

[stuck quarry]

BRUH

WTF

[hidden ruin]

can anyone recommend me a difficult mod to play

[hidden ruin]

broo the same happened to me with md

idk why

[nimble solar]

Black Ice I heard is quite difficult

[nimble solar]

Sheep's mod is also quite painful

[hidden ruin]

ty bro

[hidden ruin]

so when this happens it means that they changed the game map?

[stuck quarry]

never happened to me before

but it was the fx files

i has changed them and appariently it was bugged in the new version

[hidden ruin]

im gonna be hones i got my game from the internet cause i have no money, and i installed md mod from some place and when i went to choose the country the map looked like that, and idk why cause i had already played md before and it went all ok

and i tried installing the mod from somewhere else but this time the game did not even show the mod

[plucky glen]

Quite painful is an understatement

[obtuse condor]

Tried using nudger to get this state into Benelux region (strategic region) in Nudger, but doesn't seem to work. I tried save and update. Any idea why/how?

[obtuse condor]

My current fix is to make a new region :/

[timber zenith]

Did you move the updated files into your mod?

[obtuse condor]

Yea

I even manually inserted the provinces into the strategic region's file

[timber zenith]

Did you then delete the leftover files in documents/paradox interactive/hoi4?

[obtuse condor]

I cut them to the mod folder

so that should get rid of it

[timber zenith]

Which folders?

[obtuse condor]

strategicregions

[timber zenith]

Did you also cut out the whole map folder?

[obtuse condor]

I didnt. I just cut the strategicregions one

Should I cut the whole map folder?

[timber zenith]

Yeah

What's the folder structure for the region file in your mod?

[obtuse condor]

I haven't transfered the current regions from the paradox folder into my mod folder

[timber zenith]

Are you by any chance launching the game with any other mods enabled?

[obtuse condor]

Just the one that I'm currently working on

[timber zenith]

This update is waaaayyy easier than previous updates. For 1.11 (or 1.12?) I had to change the infrastructure level in every. Single. State. To fit the new system. (5 max)

[timber zenith]

I'm not too sure then, that's quite strange

[obtuse condor]

My current resort is to create a new region, overriding the old one

[stuck quarry]

yeaa luckily i never had to deal with that, but i think ill have to recreate my map

i tried just adding the new states but i still cant load into my scenario

[obtuse condor]

Also made some new strategic regions based off modern FIR

[timber zenith]

It should just be constants.fxh that broke

[stuck quarry]

wdym

like it throws hella errors about the map

when i try to launch

[timber zenith]

That file should be what turned the map black

[stuck quarry]

yea i figured that out

and deleted it

so now i have a broken map which i cant load into

which sucks, but oh well ill just have to restart from scratch on it

[timber zenith]

Broken in what way?

[stuck quarry]

it just says "issue with map" and looking in the console hella provinces dont have a state assigned

and i cant load my bookmark

[timber zenith]

Sounds like you broke something else

[sonic bone]

is there any good mod that updates japans focus tree a bit?

[obtuse condor]

hello

everyone

[cerulean panther]

immediate = {
set_country_flag = industrial_problems
}

option = { # Start to fix it
    name = "Fix the Economy with Government intervention"
    set_country_flag = government_intervention
    ai_chance = { factor = 90 } 
}
option = { # Refuse
    name = "Let it fix itself"
    set_country_flag = government_sleeps
    ai_chance = { factor = 10 }
}

}

do i need to remove the
immediate = {
set_country_flag = industrial_problems
}

or can i keep the code like that?

[surreal stream]

germany had an army of 24million in game by 44 in real life the peak thay had was like 14m

[timber zenith]

It will function if that's what you're asking

but names don't work like that

it's got to follow your namespace

and have a number

so if you've put your namespace as germany for example, your event title would be germany.1 or similar

(obviously don't use same as a vanilla event number though)

You'll have to use localisation to name the event afterwards

[final tusk]

do you know where I could advertise my mod project on the internet or on discord?

[cerulean panther]

Yes. I'm trying to lock a focus behind an event so I'm just wondering if this would work

[cerulean panther]

Yeah don't worry I will fix it

[timber zenith]

looks fine yeah

[cerulean panther]

I'll post the entire code and the focus tree code if you would like to see

[stuck pollen]

ive done like 30 fresh restarts.. deleted everything and reinstalled game and mods, MD keeps saying -980.9mb and that it doesnt have a descriptor. i found the descriptor and it is properly formatted?
how do i fix this??

[manic wolf]

can some check why this isnt working (im working on a MD submod)

[mental depot]

how hard would it be to create a focus that is available universally that adds 1 and then the 2nd branch specialization availability beyond the one allowed by default? Relatedly - can the experience cost of doctrines be adjusted? it seems wayyyyy too easy to max these all out before the shooting even starts in 1939

[manic wolf]

is it possible to make a defense company (MIO) only available if u have good relations or own a certain state?

[dense zealot]

Are Edge Hoi4 Modding is good Site to Modding?

[long epoch]

@last juniper

[last juniper]

hi

[pale sparrow]

Id avoid using sites for that

[pale sparrow]

Yes

You usually don't measure good relations, but rather not having bad relations like being at war with the country

[dense flare]

i edge to hoi4 too

[manic wolf]

ah, i just feel like relations being atleast +25 the minium requirement for access with the MIO

how do i make this trigger an event?

[jade mauve]

completion_reward = { country_event = TAG.XX }

also, i don't know what you're trying to do with the stability thing

theres also
completion_reward = { country_event = { id = TAG.XX days = Y } }

it triggers the event after the specified time

[barren oak]

what else should I add?

for more historical accuracy
