[nimble solar]

[echo nimbus]

When i accidentally move my headphone jack a little bit too much and now the headphones disconnected for a split second, meaning HOI4 sound breaks and i have to sit through Kaiserredux's 15 min loading screens

[rose heath]

this is my 2nd time playing TNO
is this bugged? isn't the slave revolt supposed to be at war with germany?

[rose heath]

oh hey

[echo nimbus]

Heeey

[rose heath]

oh wait i see on a yt video that it in fact is not supposed to be at war with germany

weird

[thin pier]

new to modding and soon i’m going to try make a middle ages mod, any tips and fundamentals i need?

[stuck quarry]

im a little bit confused about somnething regarding interface modding, im making a scripted gui for the decisions tab and i made it 200 wide

i set the x of my text here to 200, so shouldnt it be on the far right side of the decisions tab instead of near the middle?

[obtuse condor]

what is that mod that starts you in 1933?

[pale bridge]

whos road to 56 dev on this server?

can you fix revolts not declaring on soviet if i declare on them

and also japanese attacking while im in the civil war

[valid apex]

Darkest Hour?

[obtuse condor]

I was playing historical and sweden united scandinavia and ruined my run in 1940

it was R56

anybody know why

[stuck quarry]

i dont understand wahts the issue

its supposed to increase by 5 per week

but it increases by 220

I DONT UNDERSTAND

i dont understand, everything is getting multiplied by 44

[proper acorn]

how did you do it?

[stuck quarry]

the gui?

[proper acorn]

the codes for this

[proper acorn]

there is more than that

I've been trying to learn how to do this for a week now

[stuck quarry]

its a scripted gui i put in the decisions tab

[barren oak]

what is this

another millenium dawn mod

[stuck quarry]

the numbers obviously arent supposed to go above 100%

[stuck quarry]

no

[barren oak]

what mod is it then

cause it sounds quite millenium to me

[stuck quarry]

from a single feature

[barren oak]

oh and can you add baguettes as something you can put in a template

[stuck quarry]

bruh

the gui is part of a mod im working on, its used by a single country which is primarily controlled by corporations

[proper acorn]

Do you have any idea how to make simple Economy?

I was wanting to make one for my mod

[stuck quarry]

no idea

this is detatched from any kinda currency stuff

all this will do is depending on the influence itll give different buffs/debuffs

[proper acorn]

I will research further to find out

[barren oak]

I have a suggestion

Create economy mod for hoi4

Ducat system, bankruptcy, loans, etc

[stuck quarry]

are you trolling

this is my HOI4 MULTI MOD

[primal plaza]

I'm having a problem like this, when the ideology of the country changes while applying cosmetic tag, it works momentarily and then returns to the country's normal flag, name and color.

[edgy solar]

Does anyone know what to do when mapgen crashes when you add a province map and defintion?

[winged briar]

I don't know if you solved it, but if you don't specify min max value with clamp variable everywhere you use add to variable, it can exceed 100%

[stuck quarry]

Yea i specified min and max

It just didnt do anything

Wait, everywhere?

So i cant clamp it on startup and that work

[winged briar]

There's not much point in clamp in the startup anyway. Yes, you need to clamp where add_to_variable is. Clamp prevents it from going out of the values you set, but this is not something that you can do once and then it is always valid, so you need to put it everywhere you change the variable. Also, for your 220% problem, if you want it to increase by 5 per week, you can try making the value 0.05 instead of 0.1, maybe it will work.

[craggy hawk]

can I not play a mod if it's outdated

it keeps crashing

:I

[vagrant aurora]

switch to 1.13

[timber zenith]

i'm loving that gui

was manually aligning a pain in the ass? lol

How do you get that colouring to work?

[craggy hawk]

I only see this option and it still crashes

the rest are not 1.13

[stuck quarry]

I figured that issue out, but thanks for the other bit of info i didnt know clamp worked like that

I didnt realize on weekly ran for every individual country in the game so it was running 44 times, i just added a if statement to only run for the country i wanted

[stuck quarry]

Actually it was really easy

[stuck quarry]

it annoys me so much thats how that works

[stuck quarry]

in the localization you can use § to assign colors, you can get this thing by pressing ALT + 2 + 1

it uses the first letter of the color to assign it

i made a scripted localization thing tho so the colors will change based on the percentage

this is how i positioned everything tho

[pine nymph]

Anybody wanna help me out with my mod ( models and GUI )

[drifting carbon]

Anyone know a good mod for a mexico tree

[vagrant aurora]

how are you meant to upload mods to the steam workshop? all i get is it failing due to a file not being found or something

[vagrant aurora]

what did u change

[rose heath]

ok so basically i had the issue where i had my mod ON and the game wasn't reading it so i essentially just refreshed the code and that worked

[vagrant aurora]

ohh thought ur message said u had an issue with uploading

my bad

[rose heath]

if your have an issue with uploading your mod due to a bug of some sorts you can try creating another mod file and moving all your files there

[vagrant aurora]

alr ill try

[vagrant aurora]

still doesnt work

[rose heath]

hmm but you didn't touch the descriptor file right

[vagrant aurora]

anything wrong here?

oh picture

[rose heath]

if all of this was generated by hoi4 then it should work

[vagrant aurora]

that didnt fix it

[rose heath]

hmm

when i look at a random mod of mine it doesn't have that weird remote file id thing

but i haven't made mods for 1.14.3

[vagrant aurora]

my file was made for 1.13.7, and the new mod i made had the same thing

andi get this if i upload to paradox

[sand mauve]

yo ive made an idea and assigned it to germany but it doesnt show up

i know it exists because it shows up on the bookmark

[vagrant aurora]

I FIXED IT! it was the remote path id that caused it not working

yep it worked

thanks for your help

[mellow ledge]

how do you even mod i watched like a few tutorials and they all dont work

[hasty kiln]

How do I remove factions at the start of the game I'm making a mod I whet to remove the factions like the axis and the allies

[proper acorn]

History/countries, go into the files of each faction leader and remove

[proper acorn]

You put this in common/bookmarks and then write ideas = your_idea

[proper acorn]

within GER

[hasty kiln]

Thx

[proper acorn]

np

[stuck quarry]

You have to add it to the history file too, adding it to the bookmark will show it in the country select screen but not apply it when you start

[proper acorn]

Yes

I forgot to say

[stuck quarry]

how do i make the ai much more aggressive in their wars?

ive got this ai strategy i was hoping would make the ai more agressive and try to take land far quicker but it doesnt seem to be working as it takes the AI months to take empty land

Anyone wanna help me with my mod ( GUI and models )

[ebon rapids]

[glass scroll]

how do you update state IDs to newer versions with more states? Specifically from 1.13 to 1.14.

I tried to just change the ID of my new states from 935 and 936 to 970 and 971 but that for some reason bugged out some states in peru and argentina to not have any buildings assigned, causing the game to not work.

any suggestions?

How do i go into a hoi4 mods files

[maiden ruin]

This is the current focus tree of my Africa Trees mod. i dont have any other nations in development as of now so this is tanzania as of march 28th 2024

I quit for a few weeks cause i got bored

[proper acorn]

you can use replace_path = "history/states" to avoid incompatibility

[proper acorn]

Enter the launcher, go to installed mods and click on the 3 dots and you can access the files

[proper acorn]

I recommend adding more focuses and it's good to add some references to Tanzania

[stuck quarry]

Or just go to documents/paradox/hoi4/mod

[proper acorn]

If it's your mod, yes, but if it's a third party

[stuck quarry]

Ah yea true, id assumed they were asking about their own mod

[proper acorn]

you put this in the descriptor and .mod

[glass scroll]

If I change the descriptor file it says: „mod is not present on disk.“

[proper acorn]

this error is from the path

[proper acorn]

Ok

[glass scroll]

I checked again, my mod is just removed from my mod list if I type „replace path = history/states“ in fact every single change to the descriptor file makes my mod disappear, I understand why it happens I just don’t know how to fix it

[stuck quarry]

how are you typing it

it should be typed replace_path = “history/states”

Hoi4 is very picky so if theres any stray missing character or something is slightly wrong in the descriptor it wont show up

[proper acorn]

forgot the _ in replace path

maybe it is that

[fallow arch]

i regret playing rt56 on non historical

austria formed austria-hungary and then switzerland annexed austria-hungary

and i regret playing on non-historical

[vocal wraith]

ong

i tried everything and it still aint working

[glass scroll]

ok tried that, it completely broke the mod and now even after undoing everything i did in the descriptor it looks like this:

[quiet mural]

make a template of 6 inf battalions and 3 light cruisers battalions its so OP

[craggy hawk]

in the empire mod why can't I edit my divisions as the ottomans?

[spark ruin]

just make a new mod and import the files

[summer ingot]

Does anyone know why this targeted modifier is not working?

[random ember]

Playing Magma Europe I got this bug, wow

Any help ?

[proper acorn]

this was caused by the graphics mod that is not compatible with the new dlc

[timber zenith]

The 1.14 update broke most map graphic mods (mods like fps map), so you'll have to remove those. Hope you enjoy the mod though 🙂

[timber zenith]

targeted modifiers are modifiers, so they have to be added to an idea or something rather than just triggered as a focus effect

[glass scroll]

thank you, it worked

[spark ruin]

no prob

need help w/ decisions. is there any way to make new decisions appear after completing a decision

[maiden ruin]

Thank you

[proper acorn]

Np

[thick robin]

like using set_country flag

[pale sparrow]

yeh put has_country_flag in the visible of the next one

[thick robin]

can you also use variables or does it not work

[pale sparrow]

Sure

if you want X decisions done, you can increment a variable each time

[thick robin]

Like variables to check if you got a focus done

[pale sparrow]

those already existy

has_completed_focus =

[thick robin]

i mean

not focus

decision

[pale sparrow]

no point to not to use flags

unless you want to have a variable with value higher than 1

[thick robin]

does flags serve any other function

[pale sparrow]

Hmmm

[thick robin]

just wondering if using it will mess me up

[pale sparrow]

Nothing speciaal over variables

[thick robin]

since ive never encountered it until now

okay

[pearl valley]

Guys, why am I not getting the popularity of the party? Although I'm writing this in code

[stuck quarry]

You’re adding the polarities in the nations history file right? and they add up to 100

[pearl valley]

Well, yes, to the country file. I counted it on the calculator, exactly 100 comes out

I have the following lines in the file:

set_politics = {

ruling_party = nazism
last_election = "1933.3.5"
election_frequency = 48
elections_allowed = no
set_national_flag = <<hidden>>

}
set_popularities = {
marxism = 7
leninism = 4
stalinism = 6
trotskysm = 3
nazism = 45
fascism = 10
conservatism = 5
liberalism = 5
monarchy = 10
republic = 5
}

[stuck quarry]

Those are all the names of the primary ideology too right, bit the sub-ideologies the main ones have?

Like you added new primary ideologies with those names, bc the sub ones are only used for character creation im pretty sure

[pearl valley]

For example, there is a kind of "Stalinism" in Stalinism. But that's probably not the point, because I've tried to do it before, and everything worked.

[timber zenith]

No

[rapid trench]

why tf would you want that

[chilly field]

im trying to make a new state, is it a issue that this has no building id

like under infrastructure and industrial complex

also why do i keep getting this

[pale sparrow]

no, and thats a bad mod anyway

[proper acorn]

start with -debug to see the error

[obtuse condor]

is there any mod that lets you control the game entirely

[quartz reef]

do you mean like go to nudge

or this?

[proper acorn]

This

I recommend nudge when you change the map, but whenever you enter the mod it's a good idea to activate debug

[quartz reef]

it is, whenever i click to join the launcher it crashes

[proper acorn]

Start with debug to see if it doesn't crash

[quartz reef]

like write debug here

i wrote "-debug"

[proper acorn]

It's correct

[quartz reef]

alr

yea it crashes

[small fern]

@proper acorn ^

[proper acorn]

fix this in province.bpm in the hand folder

[edgy solar]

so ive got to just make the provinces mentioned smaller?

cheers mate

Usually it happens when you have 2 provinces across the province map with the same color

but not for south america

again

[timber zenith]

Even more reason for there to be an issue

Gamerules all come from the same file

So if you modified it before 1.14, it wouldn't have the south america content on it

but i still keep getting these errors

but i dont have gamerule folder in my mod

💀

[timber zenith]

you don't have common/game_rules?

[faint lintel]

nah

all folders in common

what does gamerule folder do anyway?

i could just copy paste it if its important

[timber zenith]

You shouldn't need to since vanilla loads anyway

[faint lintel]

hmhmhmhmhmhm

[timber zenith]

yah idk

[faint lintel]

lmao

imma try copy pasting

maybe it works

lololol

[timber zenith]

Would you be able to upload the mod zipped?

You don't have to

[faint lintel]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

if you dont steal it

and upload it

and delete it afterwards

[timber zenith]

I promise not to take it

[faint lintel]

very good

ok how do i zip it💀

[timber zenith]

Right click the folder and press compress to zip

[faint lintel]

one moment

it fixed it

@timber zenith

[timber zenith]

oh sick what was it

[faint lintel]

i copy pasted it and it worked

game rule folder

[timber zenith]

huh

odd

did you have a replace_path line in your descriptor?

[faint lintel]

i did nothing

i only copy pasted the gamerule folder

nthing more nothing less

[timber zenith]

but do you have one there anyway?

[faint lintel]

no i did not have a gamerule folder before

[timber zenith]

I mean in your descriptor file

[faint lintel]

yea i do have it

[timber zenith]

there's a replace_path line in there?

[faint lintel]

nah

[timber zenith]

Oh welp then that's strange

[timber zenith]

Well i'm glad it's working then nice

[faint lintel]

same

but now i got new errors

lmao

[timber zenith]

what ones lol

[faint lintel]

but its about my mod

so its good

ish

[timber zenith]

ah nice

[faint lintel]

one is about lua

maybe i should update the lua text

the events one i dont get

how is it id same

[timber zenith]

I think that's related to the defines

[faint lintel]

ah

[faint lintel]

whats a malformed token?

[timber zenith]

It might be an issue with the event not existing

[faint lintel]

but event exists

i tried it

lmao

it works fine

[timber zenith]

usa.7 or whatever?

[faint lintel]

i dont have an event usa.7

i do have event usaee.1

[timber zenith]

if you deleted the vanilla usa events that's probably why

[faint lintel]

i didint

[eternal crown]

anyone have a copy of great war redux for gameversion 1.43

[rapid trench]

they need to update it bro

you can’t just get a copy

you gotta wait for the mods to update it

devs*

[eternal crown]

oh

[golden oyster]

whats a good hoi4 mod that adds new states

[glass scroll]

its not for the current version, but for 1.13 but pulchritudinous states is pretty good

[obtuse condor]

How do I mod?

[grizzled tide]

It might be worth creating a character file for your leader and recruiting it via the history file for your new nationa

Have you created a history file for Texas?

Have you launched the game with debug enabled?

Are you getting any errors?

Hmmm okay

So have you set politics for the country?

In the history file

Is the name of Sam showing with a random portrait ?

Okay so, pretty easy from here

I'm assuming you have a picture for your guy

You want to either..

Add a gfx file which has the line

Portrait_TEX_Sam_H = "file location/filename.dds"

Or you can replace your gfx tag in that history entry directly with the file location

In the interface folder of your mod

Modname/interface

Let me grab my laptop 1 sec

So basically a new text file in modname/interface

    spriteType = {
        name = "GFX_Portrait_TEX_SAM_H"
        texturefile = "gfx/leaders/TEX/Portrait_TEX_Sam_H.dds"
    }
}```

Well i'm assuming you have a portrait of him saved as .dds right?

Updated it above there,

That should work.

I have no idea if this is good practice or not but i never use something like GFX_name_whatever
I just raw refernce the file
e.g:

name = "Samuel Houston" 
picture = "gfx/leaders/TEX/Portrait_TEX_Sam_H.dds"
expire = "1965.1.1"
ideology = liberalism
}

That also works and saves having to do a .gfx file

The other method should work too, I might have made a mistake in describing it haha, but glad it worked

🙂

No worries 🙂

Going to plug my mod haha:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2155036507
It'd be great if more people tried it 😉

Please do, and give me lots of feedback if you do! 🙂

[grizzled tide]

Of course 👍

does anyone know how to fix these errors?

[lofty plaza]

Something is wrong with them

[bitter rover]

So, for some reason my cosmetic tags keep resetting? Is there any way to prevent this?

goes from this

back to this

without me touching anything

[proper acorn]

you can change the decision to click to one of achieving the goal and the "reward" would be to change that

[golden oyster]

is there any alternative to the colorize your country mod
no i dont wanna use the command i cant be bothered to look up rgb colors all the damn time, i need a color palette gui

[bitter rover]

The decisions tab in the screenshot was unrelated, sorry. I did not click any decisions, the cosmetic tag kept changing automatically. I think it may have been some odd bug, haven't been able to reproduce it since.

[stuck quarry]

Is there any way to programmatically change the weather mid game

Like the tempature

[dense scaffold]

any working mods that connects the uk and france

[sterile plank]

is there a tool pack that is a decision for a single nation for mp.

[ripe canopy]

Hey coming back to HOI. It seems the HOI4 launcher does not respect the load order you set. Is there any way to fix this?

Or is there another good way to set mod load order like in CK3, or Stellaris

[rose heath]

how can i modify global surrender limit for all countries?

i'm playing some old mod that has stupidly high surrender limits

and i want to make a sub mod to change it

by stupidly high i mean straight up china will have 1 state left and 97% surrender limit

[short vault]

Probably in defines

[rose heath]

in defines i looked up both "surr" and "capit" and there are no results :(

wait hold on there are multiple define files

right

yeah the one i looked at doesn't have anything

it's a different file i am looking for

huh it is in 00_defines

but the mod itself does not have 00_defines

can i just mod it in myself then

[short vault]

The number is basically load order, so use 01 if you are looking to overwrite something in a 00. The name I believe doesn't matter.

The game reads the inside of the file and the path of the file to see what the data is about, not the file name

[rose heath]

hm although i still don't understand how is the surrender limit so high in that mod if it doesn't have it changed in defines

it's a very old mod as it only works with 1.10.8

it has a defines file of its own but no surrender limit stuff

[short vault]

I have no idea how the mod version affects how the game treats it.

[dense scaffold]

any working mods that connects the uk and france

[ripe canopy]

Is the launcher load order broken?

1. Mod a
2. Mod b

Mob b should overwrite Mod a for conflicting files.

But it's not, not matter what Mod a is loading it's files in-game instead of Mod b.

[timber zenith]

You can add a dependency line in the descriptor file of a mod

[ripe canopy]

Is that the only way? For CK3 and Stellaris I can move the mods around in the Launcher, and the game will respect the load order. Just HOI4 seems to ignore it. For large amounts of mods this is the only real way to do this effciently. Like you would in CK3, Stellaris, any of the Total War games, Bethesda games, or really any other game that is modable out there. Load order is a critical modding function. So weird it is broken in such a heavilyh modded game like HOI4.

I remember the launcher used to work in HOI4 a couple years ago.

[timber zenith]

yup hoi4 doesn't have a simple load order unfortunately

[rose heath]

how can i make an event that adds an idea to all countries in the world?

[ripe canopy]

Bizzare... Well I'll have to do it the "hard way". Make a custom mod and pile in all the files I want, letting them manually overwrite each other... gross, but it works.

[timber zenith]

You can use an on_action that gives every nation an idea

using on_startup

[rose heath]

oh alright thank you

i found a cool mod but it has a very high surrender cap and it seems as if it doesn't have the defines file and i can't figure out how does it even do that

so it's gonna be way easier to just give all countries -0.15 surrender limit via an idea

[timber zenith]

What mod is that?

[rose heath]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=838867755

[timber zenith]

very old

[rose heath]

yes but i had a lot of fun playing it with a friend

and i'm working on polishing it so that we have more fun

[timber zenith]

The mod does have a defines file

[rose heath]

but the file does not have a surrender limit thingy

and when i tried to add it, it crashed

i tried adding a seperate file

crashed again

[timber zenith]

What did you put?

[rose heath]

the vanilla hoi4 surrender limit from 00_defines

but i suppose it doesn't matter anymore as my mod works

and it gets the job done

[timber zenith]

cool

[strong imp]

is there a mod that make mainland france communist and african france the rench republiv like in kaiserreich

[white plover]

mod idea: a mod focused on the italian peninsula (external territories arent interactible), this would be a simple mod becouse there wouldnt be as much countries, and the start dates could be varied, but i recomend 1796:

[obtuse condor]

mod that changes the german focus tree?

as it stands its incredibly boring and short

[nimble solar]

New Zealand:

Germany for me I still consider the box standard

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that changes the focus tree for every nation before NSB (but include USA)

[nimble solar]

Total Conversion mods usually do like Black Ice

[obtuse condor]

bruh not even r56 is good

[nimble solar]

R56 has modified vanilla trees for some countries

[obtuse condor]

i just want a german focus tree overhaul.

its so damn boring

[nimble solar]

Oh there are some

[obtuse condor]

even the r56 one assumes youre gonna lose

but like... if im winning, tf do i do

[nimble solar]

Most are probably wheraboo wet dreams though

[obtuse condor]

thats the issue

it either doesnt exist

or it was made by some edgy 13 year old who plays erika in class thinking hes funny

[nimble solar]

There was a decent one that ISP played months ago

It was just vanilla with more focuses

[obtuse condor]

see, thats the issue

[nimble solar]

And actually wasn't wheraboo levels

[obtuse condor]

man

i wish i could code or smthn

[nimble solar]

You had a focus tree path for spain

You had BoP mechanics

[obtuse condor]

yeah i saw it

it added a balance of power too

[nimble solar]

Idk, I still don't see the problems of Germanys tree besides not much flavor

Give it a few more larp stuff, possibly more alt history

[obtuse condor]

theres no alt history for fascist path

[nimble solar]

Nothing war crimey though

Remember, PDX is a company that needs to follow laws

[obtuse condor]

does sweden have strict laws abt that?

i know germany does

[nimble solar]

Europe

[obtuse condor]

and i dont want anything war crimey

but itd be cool if there was a system where you could actually plan stuff yknow

or listen to certain generals, ignore certain people, etc

maybe even hitler is replaced by goebells, himmler,etc

or the wehrmacht does a coup

just smthn

[nimble solar]

I actually had an idea that would make Germany have a tree similar to the Soviets in some aspects.

Rhineland would be the focus that starts all political branches. There would be a way to guarantee a French reaction and that is where all the alt history comes from

You can then choose alt history fascist, military dictatorship, return of the kaiser, democratic, or communist

Or maintain historical

[obtuse condor]

yeah thatd be cool

but also the historical path should have two branches

and the 2 focuses auto-complete depending on how the wars going

[rough jasper]

Do you guys know of the "Godspeed" mod? I was wondering if their was a wiki somewhere online where I can read the lore for it

[sour dagger]

these new tiny updates for hoi4 making my mod out of date make me want to scream-

😭

[pale sparrow]

it doesnt break your mod

just play

[sour dagger]

yeah true.. very annoying though 😭

[pale sparrow]

you making a mod?

[sour dagger]

yeah

[pale sparrow]

cuz then just set a wildcard in the version

1.14.*

and it wont complain until 1.15 happens

[sour dagger]

yeah oke

[red dagger]

why did the game do this? is it stupid?

[pale sparrow]

The nudge tool breaks localization

delete the localization it generates and make it manually

how do i make a country unable to train new, edit, and disband units like spain

the idea itself seems to only have a tooltip and not the actual rule

[rose heath]

there's "country_lock_all_division_template = yes"

but idk where to put it

it doesn't seem to work as either a modifier or a rule inside of a modifier

[pale sparrow]

its an effect

[rose heath]

so i should put it in scripted_effects then?

wait i'll check on wiki

[pale sparrow]

...

[rose heath]

well i mean i want it to be true for all countries with neutral foreign policy

i don't want it to be obtainable through a focus

[summer lotus]

do it through on_action then

Or if Neutral Foreign Policy is an idea, do it through on_add in the idea

[young holly]

I love modding Hoi4

[sleek palm]

Modding seems fun ngl, if only I had willpower to actually attempt modding

[young holly]

I'm porting a mod to a sub mod for RT56

[sleek palm]

sounds cool

[young holly]

I only ported the focus of one nation without actually... Supplying the assets

[sleek palm]

I have no idea how to react to this

[young holly]

It's a careful puzzle solving

Because I have to

Merge the mods perfectly

[sleek palm]

ye

[young holly]

So that there arent any states that conflict with the focuses

All the events work

All the generals/leaders work

And rt56 content

[sleek palm]

Honestly it kinda annoys me when mods require DLC, although it's understandable

[young holly]

You can still play them I think

All you can't do are some options like

Mine laying

[sleek palm]

oh

[young holly]

But it's recommended you do

[sleek palm]

So I can get that extended research trees

[young holly]

I have all the dlcs except the new one and the Nordic ones

I want the international market so badly

[sleek palm]

Cool

Any good mods that add flavor to HOI4 without being completely different? (So no RT56, KR, TNO, EAW, etc)

[pale sparrow]

Rt56 is pretty much the closest thing

There used to be vanilla plus but its gone

theres great mods for like 1 country, but you cant always combine those nicely

[sleek palm]

alr

[north pilot]

I have a problem with a mod, it doesnt seem to work (Napoléon world), it does this in the loading screen after launching

[timber zenith]

The mod is probably out of date. You'll have to roll back to an older version

[north pilot]

but when I go to properties of the game and change to the right version

it automatically updates to newer version

[timber zenith]

If you select the right beta it'll download that old update

[north pilot]

oh wait

I need to use the code first ?

[timber zenith]

No that's for private betas

[north pilot]

oh

[timber zenith]

you just need to select the version in the beta participation tab

[north pilot]

I selected 1.10 since it says its the version for the mod

for this

[timber zenith]

Yep that's fine

[north pilot]

so I select one of those 3, doesnt matter

nvm the first one

wrong

and then, it automatically updates

[timber zenith]

Yeah

[north pilot]

oh wait, I rlly need to update

thats why

[timber zenith]

It's downloading the downgrade

[north pilot]

I tought it was downloading back to the newest version

alright, well thanks, im a bit stupid

[timber zenith]

Don't worry about it, it's all good

[north pilot]

and also, u cant get any success when using mods right ?

[timber zenith]

wdym

[north pilot]

like huh

it says , it needs to start in 1936/39

I mean even when u enable iron man

[vagrant aurora]

thats for achievements

the checksum changed so no achievements

ironman still works tho

[tall oxide]

it didnt work...

Austria should have 72 divisions consisting of 550-600k troops

[nimble solar]

Make sure the transports do not have any orders. Move the paratroopers to the air base where the transports are station and make individual orders

[obtuse condor]

Are there numbers on the sizes of the minor Germany states? 1789-1850?

Ideally 1789-1815

[full minnow]

probably around 200-300

[full minnow]

austria mobilized 400k

same with britian

france had around 300k

prussia 100-200k

russia 300k

france did mboilize 600k in 1812 against russia

but that was including some austrian, prussian troops

[obtuse condor]

Didnt the french army have 1.2m?

Or am I smoking something

[full minnow]

This video is lying then tbh NGL imo

[full minnow]

wth

thats crazy

the largest army napoleon mobilized was 600,000

but most of the time it was 300k

spain had 200k

portugal had 80k

mameluks in egypt had 20-40k

saxony had 5-10k (largest rhinebund army)

[obtuse condor]

Then I will give france 75 8 infantry divisions

[full minnow]

alr

[obtuse condor]

Bavaria had less?

[full minnow]

yea

i believe bavaria had 5-8k

not far behind saxony

i think actually westphalia had 12k but that was a shortlived state

[obtuse condor]

1-2 divisions för all the German states?

[full minnow]

yeah

for the larger ones (kollegium of kings) give them like 4-5

wurttemberg, bavaria, westphalia, saxony, etc

[obtuse condor]

I wanted to give Portugal Poland Sweden Denmark Naples saxony 12 divisions each for balancing imo

[full minnow]

yeah

balancing would be important

@stuck quarry really vs code is better than notepad ++

I managed to open the hoi4 map on it

[stuck quarry]

Thats a extension isnt it

[proper acorn]

yes

I found it on vs code

[stuck quarry]

Yea i got that too

I use it for trees

[proper acorn]

ah

[stuck quarry]

i thought it could do the map too tho i havnt really had a use for it

maybe im just dumb or something but i find it wasier to just open the game in debug and find province IDs and edit state files manually

[obtuse condor]

I tried putting french troops in their polish puppet

In the history file

But they don't spawn

Does a country need to control or own a state to have their divisions to spawn there?

[proper acorn]

@stuck quarry to move your mod folder to vs code and you open this map

go to status and if you click twice on the status it opens the status folder and you can now edit

[stuck quarry]

im confused what you mean

i already use vscode to edit hoi mods

[proper acorn]

I'm talking about the extension

if you move the pro vscode mod folder you can edit the map in it without opening another file

[stuck quarry]

can i mod in a custom railway track

i want to essentially make a reskin of tracks which would be roads and add trucks into the game

but i cant seem to figure out creating a custom "track"

[summer lotus]

no

but you need to specify it

create_unit = {
division = "name = "British Militia" division_template = "Militia Cope Division" start_experience_factor = 0 start_equipment_factor = 0.2"
owner = ENG
allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes
count = 9
}

allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes

[valid apex]

I think it is in gfx/model/supply

[lapis hamlet]

a teaser of PBsub

[obtuse condor]

What do I do if I want the same division template to be in multiple History/units files of the same country?

[rose heath]

is there a tutorial somewhere on how to replace a focus tree so there are no errors?
since if you just delete the existing one you get a lot of ai_strategy errors, and then if you delete that you get some weird military_industrial_organization errors and i'd like to see how to properly replace all of that without breaking anything

[proper acorn]

you have to delete everything that gives an error

because the errors are linked to the focus tree

[proper acorn]

it's getting good

[west flare]

what is the bloodiest mod there are, with billions dying? (Without nuclear annihilation, that is, cause I do know that TNO would win that way) Vanilla casualties are just too tame for me.
Also, is there a way to go around ridiculously low 2.1 million equipment cap (turning into negative numbers if you go over it) or is it hardcoded to be the issue of hoi4?

[wise sundial]

Is there a way to make categories for countries, like developing country, major country, superpower and etc.?

[full swallow]

if I edit a mod's state history files to for example change to which state certain provinces belong

and then load a savefile

will those changes be there

or would I have to start a completely new savefile

[neat turret]

it's possible to add to trigger in hoi a check for someone have more than 9 mountaineer divisions?

[wheat egret]

help, made it so there is more slots for theorists and put 3 of them in one category and 2 others in another category but when i hire a theorist it puts him in both of them, how to fix?

[safe gazelle]

How to play as the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in RT56?

[timber zenith]

The savefile will reflect the new added states, however it will usually break them in the save in someway

[timber zenith]

Major country already exists as a category, but for the others you'd have to make your own metrics and system for switching nations between categories

[hidden ruin]

is there any mod of the napoleonic wars

[pale sparrow]

Start as CZE then release them I think is easiest

[safe gazelle]

Okok thanks

[obtuse condor]

Any beginner tips for modding?

[pale sparrow]

You mean getting or making mods @obtuse condor
