MUST make if it is liberated by decision or national focus

#

if not, it depends on if you want or not

river beacon
#

If its occupied countries like colonies in africa sure. They dont need a focus tree but would depending on what your mod is. Do some story telling

Thanks~

Umm...
It says "Undefined GUI_TYPE: text_window - This will most likely crash the game

This should be the cause of "Window text_window not found"

hey, i need help loading mods without the paradox launcher.

#

Oh WHAT, a colony state and an occupied state are different things... i NEVER knew

#

#

why dosent this focus icon work?

storm anvil
#

If so, did you not make "gfx_" part of the definition?

#

Did you define the "_shine" correctly?

#

Then try reloading ur game after all that

ashen mural
#

i put it in the goals folder

#

the goals folder is in interface

storm anvil
# ashen mural what

There is another called "interface", in there should be something called "goals.something", in there you have to define the GFX_ for the focus logo

#

Then there is another file called "goals_shine.something" i believe where you have to define almost rbe exact same thing but with "_shine" at the end

ashen mural
storm anvil
#

Nono you can make it work

#

Look in the folders outside common, look for one called "interface" and in there should be goals.something

ashen mural
storm anvil
#

Usually you want to make the icon name GFX_ in accordance with every other focus logo

#

Give the wikipage a read, the top section, then scroll down a little to "icon" and it is explained

ashen mural
storm anvil
#

I guess some do, its not important but i like to do it for consistency and clarity, maybe you got another line of code with the exact same name and it is causing conflicts

#

Thats why its safer to put GFX in the name

#

Id help more but im at thw gym rn

ashen mural
storm anvil
#

then there have to be 2 files named something_goals and something_goals_shine respectively

storm anvil
# ashen mural

alright can you show me the code? both of the areas where you defined the icon

#

btw do realize that by calling it goals.gfx instead of YOUR_MOD_NAME_goals.gfx, you are overwriting the existing goals.gfx and if any update to the actual game should change stuff in there, you will have to manually update it in the file too

i think you can just copy and paste the state files from the base game, and start again?
or maybe you didn't add the manpower thing to the states you created?

you also need to set the category

Good afternoon. I have two mods made by me. One is uploaded perfectly and I can play with a couple of friends. But I recently made another one and this one is giving us problems with the version of the game. My friends do have their version changed, but not me, and it's strange because the changes are shown. Any ideas?

do you have to do this for transparent images?

You need to do this for the icon to be displayed in the game.

you need to find a folder called "goals_shine.gfx"

#

this is the news event

grim harbor
# wintry geode why didnt my event fire? 29th march 1790

if its meant to trigger only due to a set date its better to place the trigger in the history file. So the event would use "is_triggered_only = yes" while the history file would have "country_event = { id = unitedstates_event.1 days = (however many days after the start of the game this is) }"

#

mean_time_to_happen is really shit at triggering stuff

wintry geode

how do i specify exact date?

Sup, i have question, i'm new to modding and i try test the mod and it gives an error "The system cannot find the path specified" and i reinstalled the whole game, changed language of windows.

or even entirely separate files

see the germany vanilla file for an example

#

it has a separate section for the 1939 start

wintry geode
grim harbor
wintry geode
#

so theres no easy way to just make so an event gets triggered on a specific date?

grim harbor
#

just not using mean_time_to_happen

#

or changing the trigger location

wintry geode
grim harbor
#

no, I told you already "is_triggered_only = yes"

#

its either trigger = { }

#

or is_triggered_only = yes

#

if its the latter the trigger is somewhere else

#

so in one scenario you script it to fire at that date. In the other you don't

wintry geode
#

country_event = {
id = unitedstates_event.1
title = ""
desc = unitedstates_event.1.d
picture = GFX_idi_amin_india
is_triggered_only = yes

date > 1790.3.29

i just got clapped by the allies when i beat them easily in vanilla

nimble solar
#

You can get war eco very early and the AI sometimes struggles

obtuse condor
#

not sure what I’m doing wrong then

#

beat Japan as China by early 41 but

nimble solar
#

Probably due to experience in the game

obtuse condor
#

got naval invaded by France and Britain within a month lmao

nimble solar
#

Setting your fleet on strike force tends to prevent naval invasions

#

Also air is important

obtuse condor
#

had all my air on cas and air superiority

nimble solar
#

No air usually results in getting stuck in Belgium

obtuse condor
#

I just didn’t bother with the navy cuz they don’t do that in vanilla

#

so fair enough lmao

nimble solar
#

CAS is irrelevant if you don't have air superiority

obtuse condor
#

I had it

nimble solar
#

Navy is still semi important

#

Then how do you get stuck

obtuse condor
#

but navy I didn’t touch at all tbf

#

Because they naval invaded my exclave

#

as I was encircling the poles

nimble solar
#

Because you ignored navy

obtuse condor
#

Yep

nimble solar
#

Strike force and win

#

Hopefully don't get caught in a battle but you should be fine

obtuse condor
#

Thank you

nimble solar
#

Invading Denmark protects east Prussia

#

But you need to cap Poland to get the war goal

obtuse condor
#

yeah the focus tree is a bit different ngl

nimble solar
#

Also, how quickly does it take you to cap poland?

obtuse condor
#

In vanilla like a month

nimble solar
#

Not bad

obtuse condor
#

after I saw 30 divisions in east Prussia from France and Britain I gave up

#

but a month is with infantry pushing too

nimble solar
#

Just surprised the Allies naval invaded early

obtuse condor
#

I’m trying to minimize infantry these days and only use tanks

nimble solar
#

And did you just abandon east prussia?

obtuse condor
#

Because I want to see nice numbers

#

I abandoned the game

nimble solar
#

East Prussia is really important

obtuse condor
#

because I am dumb

nimble solar
#

Also lots of infantry is good

#

Just attack with tanks

obtuse condor
#

I had 14 divs on a frontline

#

in east Prussia

#

yeah before I would just battle plan

nimble solar
#

I usually have some motorized there to help make a pincers to cut off Danzig

obtuse condor
#

And it would crush Poland but I would lose a lot more

nimble solar
#

And then help cut off Poznan

obtuse condor
#

That’s what I did and I had 30 for 300 casualties

#

but I was a bit too slow tbh

#

I should still push with infantry I think..

nimble solar
#

Somewhat, I mostly use them to close encirclements

obtuse condor
#

yeah that’s what I should’ve done

#

Pinned the enemy while pushing with tanks

#

and then tighten the encirclement

What Does this error mean?

north mango
#

hello, I am creating a submod for the cold war mod in which Valery Sablin succeeds Salazar Kaganovitch in the ussr, I made a big focus tree not yet finished but when I load it into the game there is only 'a small part of the tree which is loaded
you can look at the code, i made it with edgehoi4 modding

toxic mirage
#

Or maybe you putted One too much

#

?

scenic tiger
#

mods

balmy rapids
north mango
#

brackets ?

#

what is this?

balmy rapids
#

Edge modding causes that issue a lot of times

#

Like

#

{
Somethinglalalalaaa
}

north mango
#

no

#

i've looked that but all it's ok

balmy rapids
#

Hm

#

Did you open the game in debug mode and saw what the error.log said?

north mango
#

no

balmy rapids
#

do u know how to open the game in debug mode?

north mango
#

yes but i need to restart my computer for launch hoi4

#

ok, i'm on hoi4 debug

north mango
balmy rapids
#

When you open the game in debug mode a notepad file should pop up on your screen called error.log

north mango
#

no

#

i'm on linux

balmy rapids
#

Oh idk then to be honest

#

What is the last focus in the code that loads?

north mango
#

i've do this many time on windows but since a do it on linux, it doesn't work

balmy rapids
north mango
#

sorry i'm french so i take time to translate when i don't understand

balmy rapids
#

Dont worry, I have some time

north mango
#

because the game is still loading and no notepad opens (besides no notepad has ever opened like that when I'm on linux, that's the case only on windows I think. I think that I have to manually go to the game log files but I don't know where they are)

balmy rapids
#

Noo, just like look at the focus tree and where do the focuses stop loading

north mango
#

ok

balmy rapids
#

From what focus does it just stop loading in

north mango
#

it will take a while because cold war's loading is verry long

balmy rapids
#

Okay

north mango
#

I take advantage of the wait to say thank you for your help

balmy rapids
#

Yea no problem

#

I just know how frustrating it is when you want to work on a mod and one issue makes you not be able to continue working on it and you have to wait for hours just for someone to respond to you

north mango
north mango
balmy rapids
#

While im checking the code

#

You can head to this directory

#

local/share/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/logs

north mango
#

hummm

balmy rapids
#

And u should be able to find error.log in there

north mango
#

i dont know the path for linux

#

local/share/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/logs

#

this is for windows

#

i'm on linux

balmy rapids
#

That's the Path for Linux, at least IT says that on the Wiki

#

local/share/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/logs

north mango
#

ok i found it

balmy rapids
#

Errors for your mod are usually somewhere down in the log

north mango
#

i found that in the logs

#

sov-sablin.txt is my focus files

balmy rapids
#

Hoooly that's a lot of debugging

north mango
#

He says there is a problem but he doesn't say what

north mango
#

i dont know what i can do

balmy rapids
#

Usually something wrong with {}

#

I'm going to look into it

north mango
#

when i go to the line there is no errors

balmy rapids
#

Gimme a second

#

You know what is wrong with the other ones for example invalid effect political_power_daily?

north mango
#

no

#

i dont know

balmy rapids
#

You see this "+" ?

#

It shouldnt be there

#

Delete it

#

Only the plus

north mango
#

i have see that but i dont know if this will change something

#

i restart the game

balmy rapids
#

It will get rid of one error

#

That's something

#

Oh nvm it will get rid of a lot of errors

#

In this for example

north mango
#

nothing change

balmy rapids
#

But there is no such effect as political_power_daily

#

And in completion reward = {} there Has to be an effect

#

The list of effects can be found here

north mango
#

yes but i don't know that this is the cause of my main problem

#

for now i want that my focus all load

balmy rapids
#

Okay back to the main problem

#

You deleted the + and nothing changed

#

Correct?

north mango
#

we should found a problem who is the same in all the eror like ""common/national_focus/sov-sablin.txt" near line: xxx"

#

all the ""Unexpected token: focus,"

balmy rapids
#

Check the log once again after you deleted the +

#

Because the thing is

#

Unexpected token

#

Means that there is something that shouldnt be thete

#

There*

north mango
#

it continue to say that the + still here

balmy rapids
#

You saved the file?

north mango
#

yes

#

three times

#

i will retry again

balmy rapids
#

Put that in there

#

I will be back in 10 minutes

north mango
#

it works!
thanks!

Hi I'm newbie modder, how should I get started?

First get an idea for the mod, not something big

tawny fern
balmy rapids
#

Does it involve creating focuses, decisions? Like what kind of thing you will be working on

tawny fern
#

Only those nations

To be honest you should start off with learning the mod structure, folders, files etc.

There is a really nice tutorial on YouTube regarding all of it
