Ok

Thx

play vic2

[worn moth]

hello, I want to ask what are the differences between Kaiserreich and Kaiseredux, and what is (in your opinion) better?

[visual meteor]

I have found the solution for Trotskyist Mexico so Stalin cannot send assassins "permanently". Turns out the focus does not block his cult of personality so I don't need to bypass it. I just add a condition that the focus can be taken if he's not invited to the Mexico government as well.

[fervent silo]

does anyone knows how to download games manually

without the launcher

[summer lotus]

KR usually makes more sense and is more balanced

has better Central European countries and better Balkan

more refined but also more linear

KX is KR but memey and stuffs make no sense and some are just outright jokes

[worn moth]

okay thx

[summer lotus]

KX has better US and Russia though

it does have a lot more paths for some others vs KR counterparts, but only US and Russia are actually better

[runic silo]

yo

need help once more

so I tried messing with the nudge tool

[desert current]

oh god

[runic silo]

to create a new state to make borders cleaner

and now the states don't have proper names anymore

they're all just "STATE_764"

and etc

[desert current]

yeah, we have all been through this problem

[runic silo]

ahahah

[desert current]

and its super annoying

[runic silo]

really

[desert current]

nudge tool is very dangerous tbh if you dont know what your doing

[runic silo]

I was following a tutorial...

[desert current]

huh..

[runic silo]

but game crashed

and bam

deleted a few files, which made the game run properly again

but the names still won't show up

[desert current]

nudge tool creates files into your documents/paradox/hearts of iron 4/ folder which you just need to drag in to your mod, but most people delete the file.

[runic silo]

I think I fixed it

I deleted a "localisation" file

in documents

[desert current]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/comments/174u8n3/state_name_bug/

This might work for you

[desert current]

That’s the one

[late vector]

in the parties localization folder, what does the "1" stand for in AUS_fascism_party:1 "DNSAP" for example?

[signal herald]

It was used for our old translation system to mark what needed to be translated or retranslated. It means nothing and can be freely ignored

[late vector]

ok thx

[swift fjord]

Is there a mod that just adds RT56 division templates to basegame?

[long bolt]

I just found this in the original hoi4 code lol

[outer jacinth]

how do i properly code air icons so this don't happen???

[desert current]

Who worked on Sweden???

[long bolt]

what da hel

[proper acorn]

I advise you to see the codes of other mods that only change this and compare them with yours

[outer jacinth]

Well there's not much to look there.

I check already

[proper acorn]

So you have to wait for someone who knows how to show up

You can post your problem on hoi4's reddit too

[outer jacinth]

Thx, i didn't think about that one

Wich hoi4 reddit is more active?

[proper acorn]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/s/GWO6BJ0Iz5

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4modding/s/aQXuweL7rc

either one works

in the main hoi4 there is a modding tag

[outer jacinth]

Thx

@proper acorn

[rich escarp]

hello

mods that are good that do absolutely nothing but improve your life

anyone?

[rose heath]

is that like a messed up evil version of sweden

[desert current]

idk but it was base game files

[obtuse condor]

Lol

[obtuse condor]

Where do you live? Wisconsin?

[desert current]

what no

why

[obtuse condor]

Cheese and Jesus are quite the combination in Wisconsin I hear.
@desert current

[desert current]

nice

[obtuse condor]

It's definitely wisconsin

[desert current]

oceania actually

[obtuse condor]

Well you've got to move to Wisconsin then

You'll love it

[desert current]

no

sounds terrible

[obtuse condor]

Australian or New Zealand

That settles that

[desert current]

anyway

where do you live, wisconsin?

[obtuse condor]

Lol no

Washington state

[desert current]

as an american, do you like democracy

[obtuse condor]

No

Most do though under a false impression that we live in a democracy when we don't

[desert current]

so your a commie

[obtuse condor]

Not a communist either

[desert current]

https://tenor.com/view/communiste-communist-hugs-heart-red-gif-14360509

[obtuse condor]

If only stalin was a lover and not a fighter...

Maybe we all would be communist

[desert current]

deep inside

we are all commies

[obtuse condor]

The Germans are struggling against the soviets in my play through

Just ask mussolini

[desert current]

mussolini for the first time ever is doing better than germany

[obtuse condor]

Not in my play through

[desert current]

ah

[obtuse condor]

Yep

[desert current]

😭

[obtuse condor]

Both are playing shit rn

[desert current]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-gamer-bateman-patrick-american-psycho-gif-24249308

agreed

[obtuse condor]

Lol

I am going to drop nukes on my enemies in 1943

Or maybe 45

[desert current]

eh, too easy, how about 1937

[obtuse condor]

Lol

No

[desert current]

when war hasnt even started

[obtuse condor]

That's impossible

[desert current]

just drop a nuke on america or something

[desert current]

thats the point

[obtuse condor]

I plan on dropping a nuke for much less

[desert current]

Luxemburg

[obtuse condor]

Is the Vatican city a nation you can play as?

[desert current]

nah

[obtuse condor]

Israel?

[desert current]

too small

[desert current]

yep

[obtuse condor]

That one should be fun to drop nukes as

[desert current]

not if i make it not

[obtuse condor]

Lol

Just code your way into 1940 nukes if you need to

Brilliant strategy

[desert current]

just set the start year as 1936

research speed factor 2000

[obtuse condor]

Btw

Is research speed being at 42% for 1942 good?

[desert current]

idk #ask-for-help-here

[obtuse condor]

Thought you would know

[desert current]

im not good at the game i just know how to mod

i guess its fine

[obtuse condor]

Oh okay

[rich cradle]

Hm... How early it even possible to get nukes (you can choose any country)?

[obtuse condor]

Dk

[desert current]

1940

[rich cradle]

Wait, really?

For what country?

[desert current]

unless if you have research bonuses, for every country the earliest is 1940

in this image

[rich cradle]

And also Soviets can wait until 1941 to join the war

Does it mean you can nuke Germans day 1? O_o

[desert current]

prob

[rich cradle]

If I remember correctly they have bonus to nukes

[desert current]

if you made it the first thing u research

beginnign at 1936

yea

[rich cradle]

xD

That sounds fun

[desert current]

sorry, not 1940 for all countrys, just bonused ones

like the soviets

but average for a normal country is 1942-1944 if trying hard

[dull tapir]

I made a mod where the ic cost is 0.10 (the lowest btw) I added the is_ai = no but it still applies to the AI how can i fix it?

[cedar ledge]

how do i make starting division template and starting army for my new country???

[quiet sphinx]

Hey guys, does anyone know of a Medieval style mod. I enjoy the lotro one quite a bit but I am looking for a 450-1500's kinda deal. Thank you in advance either way.

[runic silo]

how do I create units for a custom country ?

[worn moth]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Division_modding

hello, how can I use the every_state in the highlight_states = { block

[runic silo]

Thx

[desert current]

just edit another countrys one, they are all located in history/units/SWE_1936
in these files you edit it to fit your country. and then to enable it, in your history/countries/SWE you enable it by saying:
oob = "SWE_1936"

[gilded harbor]

What does this mean

wait nvm i think i know

[desert current]

that doesnt even matter anyway ive used mods that have worked fine with that alert

[gilded harbor]

ok

[obtuse condor]

How can i reduce puppet annex cost

[obtuse condor]

🤓

[elder tundra]

Still here

[dull tapir]

I made a mod where the ic cost is 0.10 (the lowest btw) I added the available = { is_ai = no } but it still applies to the AI how can i fix it?

[obtuse condor]

hmmmm

maybe you got special gift from paradox

[candid blade]

Could anyone help me make a mod where Denmark and Korea swaps places? Pretty new to modding

[obtuse condor]

search on youtube The Iron Workshop and find video from him called hoi4 modding: creating new country

[hollow rover]

erm

[obtuse condor]

if you will watch his tutorial videos it could help

[hollow rover]

what

[obtuse condor]

man idk how you got dlcs 💀

[candid blade]

Thanks, i'll check it out!

[hollow rover]

i literally entered the line

available:

(NOT: at war with GER) something like that

thats all when i went in the game i had all dlcs

[obtuse condor]

wtf

man idk

[candid blade]

Maybe you forgot to cancel your subscription?

[hollow rover]

i have only base game

no subscription

[obtuse condor]

well man be happy about it

you have all dlcs for free

[hollow rover]

not to mention it doesnt appear here

[hollow rover]

half the focuses are replaced with my singular focus thing...

[candid blade]

🤫🧏🏼‍♂️ dont tell paradox then

[hollow rover]

i do NOT know how that happened

[obtuse condor]

maybe you did generic focus and not original

[hollow rover]

wdym

oh no i have my own file

[obtuse condor]

if you have the default = no you have focus that is not generic

[obtuse condor]

pičku ma mate

idk man

[hollow rover]

croat?

[obtuse condor]

no only slav

[hollow rover]

which

[obtuse condor]

czech

[hollow rover]

i lost my dlcs 😭

[obtuse condor]

oh

[hollow rover]

im slovak

[obtuse condor]

tvl

[cerulean trench]

my mods like kaiserreich, red flood, great war redux, old world blues dont work after the latest patch

i reinstalled the game but didnt work

anyone knows why?

[obtuse condor]

does your game crash with the mods on?

[hollow rover]

hey man can u help me with this? everything is fine in my focus file but it refuses to make another focus connected to this one

[cerulean trench]

yes when it reaches the end of the loading bar it crashes

i tried it with dlcs off too

[obtuse condor]

idk but it could be the mods fault

[cerulean trench]

but every mod does that

[obtuse condor]

oh

then idk

[cerulean trench]

god i just want to play red flood

[obtuse condor]

paradox has a normal support i think

[obtuse condor]

for some of that surealism?

[cerulean trench]

no just wanted to play it

it seemed interesting

[obtuse condor]

yea it was a joke

[obtuse condor]

well it is

try to contact paradox

on their websites

[obtuse condor]

?

like conection to another focus?

[hollow rover]

my entire file excluding top part assigning ID and stuff

[hollow rover]

the first focus thing

is shown

but the second isnt there no matter what i do

like according to the files and tutorials another focus should be down and right from ts

[obtuse condor]

hmmm

i think i know

wait

[hollow rover]

[obtuse condor]

try to delete the space in the red circle

[hollow rover]

sec

like ts?

[obtuse condor]

yes

it (should) work

if not i have another solution

[hollow rover]

i swear the amount of time i spent on ts thing 😭

idk ill see if it works

restarting hoi4

erm

[hollow rover]

it does not 😔 the thing u did shouldve fixed a connection but there was no connection to be fixed since the second focus doesnt even appear there

[proper acorn]

show the complete code

[obtuse condor]

wait, why do you have prerequisite on the same focus?

[hollow rover]

here

excluding top part

[hollow rover]

yea i fixed tjat

that

[obtuse condor]

oh

[hollow rover]

still nothing

[obtuse condor]

well, then idk

sr

[hollow rover]

whats the other solution u mentioned

[obtuse condor]

i saw that you have bad prerequisite

but u said you fixed that

[proper acorn]

I found the problem

[hollow rover]

what about them

js remove them?

[proper acorn]

there's one more

[obtuse condor]

yes indeed

[proper acorn]

in the first one too

[hollow rover]

i removed the most bottom one in the first pic and second pic

[obtuse condor]

it should be organized like this

just stairs

[hollow rover]

[hollow rover]

thank you

[proper acorn]

np

[obtuse condor]

nice

[obtuse condor]

a lot of my code didnt work because of these issues

[hollow rover]

also

one thing

when people have hoi4 open and their code on tutorials

when they change smth in the code it changes in the hoi4 tab aswell

i have to restart everytime to see if it works

[winged briar]

It is true that the problem here is caused by the brackets, but I think the real problem is that the bracket is opened in the modifier's factor, normally there should be a number here.

[proper acorn]

I thought about that too

[gilded harbor]

It seems like they all had to reinstall cause every mod with that red triangle doesnt work and steam is reinstalling all of them. Now the problem is when i start my laptop then press play and the launcher opens it all starts downloading but i cant close the launcher after that cause iff i do i cant open it again to play. So i have to play directly but then i wanted to switch mods to take a break from a coldwar mod for a bit and when i open the launcher from its desktop shortcut it just doesnt recognise HOI4 exists only stellaris and doesnt even let me seletc stellaris its directory

ngl that launcher is very bad

[worn moth]

is there a way to get a national spirit that gives complience/ressistance on specific states only?

[gilded harbor]

Nvm i found a way by clicking the "dowser" app in the directory

[limber badger]

Hello, can someone help me with my focus?. I want the focus to be available only if my country is free or is a subject of a country with certain ideology (fe fascism)

is this correct?

[proper acorn]

yes

[limber badger]

for some reason it still allows me to do the focus even tho i'm a puppet of non-aligned government

[proper acorn]

but the bracket that closes the avaliable must be aligned with the avaliable

makes it look better but doesn't affect anything

[proper acorn]

I know why

AND was missing

[limber badger]

Where exactly?

[proper acorn]

available = {
NOT = {
SLO ={
AND = {

more or less that

that means you have to have everything to be able to do it

let me know if it worked

[limber badger]

so like this?

[proper acorn]

fix those brackets

that

[limber badger]

format addon in vs did that sorry :D

but it should be like that, right?

or should the AND be somewhere else?

[proper acorn]

I saw it now

is wrong

[limber badger]

could you write it for me? ill paste you the code

[proper acorn]

any_other_country = {
AND = {
has_governe...

put the OR

instead of AND

you only want the focus to be taken if the controlling country has any of these 3 ideologies right?

[limber badger]

No

the opposite

if the controlling country has these 3, then the focus should be blocked

here ill paste you the code

** available = {
NOT {
SLO = {
OR = {
is_owned_by = {
any_other_country = {
has_government = fascism
has_government = democratic
has_government = neutrality
}
}
}
}
}
}**

[proper acorn]

available = { NOT { SLO = { is_owned_by = { any_other_country = { OR = { has_government = fascism has_government = democratic has_government = neutrality } } } } } }

test it

[limber badger]

okay, give me a minute

nope, still doesn't work

i noticed that for some reason the focus's effect is not in game

[lyric patrol]

Anyone whos making a mod need flag designer?

[late willow]

Hello

[uncut moss]

Hello, anyone knows the tag for the post-war german puppet of india (german india)? I want to change the flag due to it being normal RAJ flag even if its now under german rule

[proper acorn]

the problem may be elsewhere

[obtuse condor]

does anyone know a good usa focus tree mod

something to add more

[spice merlin]

Hello, can you help me with one thing for this decision?
I tried to add a conscription modifier as an effect while the decision lasts but I already tried adding conscription_factor
but it still doesn't appear in the game interface

[proper acorn]

try
conscription = 0.01

[winged briar]

add this modifier = { conscription_factor = }

[desert current]

modifier = {
conscription = 0.05
training_time_factor = -0.1
}

[desert current]

conscription_factor isnt a thing

[winged briar]

Are you sure? You can check the game if you want

[desert current]

i have

by paradox devs btw so

[desert current]

huh i guess they both work then

[spice merlin]

i try this, its work thx

[desert current]

i personally have never found "conscription_factor" but if it works, it works.

[winged briar]

Paradox uses the conscription_factor in many places, including in the US great_depression national spirit. In fact, when you look at it, they both serve the same function, one is calculated as a percentage

[desert current]

ah makes sense

[spice merlin]

And I have another question, how can I make this decision only available when I have the volunteer-only policy?

[desert current]

last i checked mobilization laws are considered ideas, so when i did something similar i just did:
available = { has_idea = volunteer_only }

this may be changed however because i tried that ages ago

[spice merlin]

ohh and the same applies to economic laws and export focuses?

[desert current]

yep

[spice merlin]

okey thx

[elder tundra]

anyone there?

[proper acorn]

I

[elder tundra]

im starting to think that I need to redo all of my mod

[proper acorn]

Why?

[elder tundra]

because of this error, I suspect that this is the only thing keeping me from launching the game and just crashes it

[proper acorn]

Did you change it?

[elder tundra]

In what sense?

its a total conversion mod

[proper acorn]

In the files that have errors

[elder tundra]

it doesn't says, we've tried before to fix it with another user, but when I fix everything it just pops up the same error

[elder tundra]

I know its something from the swiss decisions

funny thing is that my map has no nations yet

[proper acorn]

These problems may not be due to the mod

you may have changed something from vanilla

[elder tundra]

really?

[proper acorn]

Have you tried downloading hoi4 all over again?

[elder tundra]

💀

well

[elder tundra]

I'll try it tomorrow

another thing to mention

[proper acorn]

Ok

[proper acorn]

You can check the integrity of the game on Steam and it helps everything automatically

[elder tundra]

the states of my map had the base states names but from one launch from another the states started to be named like STATE_43 for example

did I messed up something?

this happened before the crashes

[proper acorn]

there was a problem with localization then

try to do what I said, this might work

[elder tundra]

then I'll check the integrity

[desert current]

how do i reduce subject autonomy via focus

[river beacon]

go to the vanilla focus trees where it reduce the subjects autonomy and basiccally copy paste that focus and edit it to your desire

the together for victory focuses should have these focuses

[desert current]

👍

[desert current]

also for a decision do you know how to do this, i've look through the files but i cant find anything..

[rose heath]

don't you love it when rivers perfectly allign with provinces

and by perfectly i mean not at all

[delicate tartan]

Hey! If I have a list of states with IDs, say 1,2,3 and 4. How can I transfer each state to a tag (ABC) if (and only if) another tag (DEF) or their subjects own the state? Also, since ABC will be a subject of DEF, I don't want to check if ABC owns the states

[hollow rover]

hi guys, im doing my focuses rn. Names show up ingame, But descriptions do not. i looked at another localisation file for focuses in vanilla and im doing exactly as its there but it isnt just showing up

help?

[proper acorn]

shows the localization code

[hollow rover]

also the "RHZ_D" (democratic focus) doesnt show up

no name or desc at all

this is supposed to be RHZ_D

[hollow rover]

can u help 👉 👈

nvm fixed it

[wintry geode]

1715.1.1 = {

}

Why isnt belgium a puppet of austria?

i put it in the history/countries/Aus file

[proper acorn]

put it like that?

[obtuse condor]

Allot of Things happened in September 1792 in france

Abolition of royalty repealing of miscegenation laws rights for Jews abolition of constitutional monarchy

Probably want to have the focus get multiple events

Still 20 more empty focuses to fill

Researching is like an advanced christmas calendar

[wintry geode]

Were there any heavy industrialisations 1780-1800 in france?

dont really have any economic focuses

[obtuse condor]

Or any cities or important companies founded 1789-1800?

[rich cradle]

ugh, game files such a mess. Region files can actually have same name

[pallid meteor]

there any good mods that got the roman empire?

[vast verge]

whats some of the best optamizer mods?

[rose heath]

my custom map has weird ugly edges when you scroll out

i played around with the settings and nothing seems to fix it

[pale sparrow]

FPS map is the only worthy one

the rest are ineffective

[vast verge]

Oki, thxx

[proper acorn]

Is it from some universe and did you create it?

[rose heath]

i designed the map from scratch, but it is based on a base builder game similar to clash of clans (Galaxy Life)

i'm making up my own map, politics, and stuff
but chracters involved are taken from that game

[proper acorn]

Interesting

[elder tundra]

It didn't work the checking of integrity files

[rose heath]

i made a TNO inspired video about these nations, and then i was motivated to actually work on a hoi4 project
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qwRgwlSwVU

[proper acorn]

Good luck

[proper acorn]

Can you start the game without the mod?

[elder tundra]

A

I havent tried that

[proper acorn]

Was it ok to get in?

[elder tundra]

Yea it launches like normal without the mod

But now it says that it failed to load the map

And I get an error log while it was doing the loading steps

It didnt crash tho

[proper acorn]

Is this in vanilla?

[elder tundra]

Yea

no mods

[proper acorn]

Have you tried deleting documents/paradox/hoi4?

[proper acorn]

maybe the problems are with the map of this path

[proper acorn]

6mb

☠️

[elder tundra]

I think that deleting files will not fix my problems

[proper acorn]

what did you do?

[elder tundra]

nothing?

[proper acorn]

if you delete everything from hoi4 it works

[elder tundra]

how are you so sure?

[proper acorn]

Beacuse are you deleting everything

the game will install everything and fix the errors

[elder tundra]

uuu

idk man

[proper acorn]

Delete the hoi4 and documents/paradox/hoi4

[elder tundra]

if I uninstall and install the game will do the same?

[proper acorn]

probably not

[proper acorn]

Doing this solves everything

but there is a chance of solving it just by uninstalling and installing

[elder tundra]

so I delete this folder?

[proper acorn]

Yep

backup saves and mods

[elder tundra]

ok

[proper acorn]

If you want

[elder tundra]

when im done deleting the folder what I have to do?

[proper acorn]

enter the game

and see if everything went well

[elder tundra]

Oh

Seems to be starting fine for the moment

[proper acorn]

Ok

It's better to restart the mod from scratch

[elder tundra]

💀

[elder tundra]

also

is this normal?

[elder tundra]

and yes, it started the game fine without any errors except for that error log which pop up while the game was loading

[proper acorn]

No

[elder tundra]

🗿

[proper acorn]

Without mods?

[elder tundra]

ye

i just uninstalled every mod I had before doing mine

[proper acorn]

Even so, vanilla has many errors?

[elder tundra]

only those

[proper acorn]

Did you buy all the DLCs?

Or

☠️

[elder tundra]

only the ones that were free

but seeing that those are now part of the game

[proper acorn]

the rest are not installed?

[elder tundra]

yep

I do not have any DLCs

[proper acorn]

so this must be the same vanilla errors

[elder tundra]

mm

[elder tundra]

nah nah 💀

[proper acorn]

Had you already done a lot in the mod?

[elder tundra]

not really but I know I'll have to do all the fixing I've done before again

[proper acorn]

Ok

[elder tundra]

Fine then

I'll have to do everything again

[proper acorn]

Serious?

Good luck

not all countries have a civil war in that way

[snow spire]

anyone have any mod recomendations

[green sentinel]

Hey dumb question, haven't made a mod in a while

If I say, want to add one new character to vanilla, do I copy the entire .txt file over?

Or just make a new one with the same name and add that character, or will it delete everything else?

[proper acorn]

better copy from vanilla and just add yours above

[green sentinel]

iron workshop said I didn't have to

I'll post the mod here when I'm done

[proper acorn]

ok

[safe anvil]

hello there

i seek help for i have broke thy game

i have entered nudger and wanted to see what i can do so i changed some stats, saved it, then i deleted the files since that is apparently how you reset to default, and i dont know which moment it was exactly, but half of the states have "state_##" instead of name

[wintry sierra]

Hey guys

Yall know across the dnieper?

Is there any mod with like a full world map version

[green sentinel]

A little preview of this mod

portrait isn't finished yet

But I'm sure you can guess what it's going to be

[brisk mountain]

IT WORKED

i can edit the names of countries

and soon i will make germany a super hostile facist horde

or make a modern world

[worn moth]

hello, how do I annex a civil war side via an event?

or transfer a % of troops?

[worn moth]

nwm I got it

[safe anvil]

reference image

should i just reinstall game?

[brisk mountain]

Modern map boiii

Fixed europe's borders too

[hazy karma]

...

[proper acorn]

modern day?

or alt-history?

[green sentinel]

Working on the mod

Klink is in

For some reason Sgt Schultz doesn't spawn in as a general even though I have him recruited

in the history file

[azure drift]

nazi zombies

[brisk mountain]

the world after ww3:

[brisk mountain]

modern day

[proper acorn]

ok

[pale bridge]

whats that 😭

no south sudan so 2010

[safe anvil]

i feel like the creator is polish

[brisk mountain]

creator of?

[ripe canopy]

Is there a reload command for map objects? I want to check out object mesh changes and .gfx file changes without having to restart the game just like you can do with textures

[safe anvil]

oh wait i glanced over and thought its a custom map and poland is just so big

[brisk mountain]

it is custom

I made a modern map

then I sent NATO to fight China and Russia

[green sentinel]

Any clue why the character isn't recruited?

They're both in the right folder

[green sentinel]

Also for some reason, when I play with the mod on, all DLC portraits are disabled

[verbal echo]

Man that socks I fr don't see anything wrong cus idfk how to mod lol

[proper acorn]

Have the characters = { at the beginning of the file?

[green sentinel]

yes

[proper acorn]

try checking the integrity of the files on steam

[green sentinel]

I already fixed this

actually

[proper acorn]

Ok

[green sentinel]

it was because I accidentally defined the sprites for custom portraits in the interface file the base game uses to replace genericos with dlc portraits

You have to make your own folder for custom sprites

[proper acorn]

The name of the Hilter is Wilhelm Klink?

[green sentinel]

mod is to make Col Klink the leader of Germany

But "Klink" is technically just a re-skin of Hitler because removing Hitler from the game completley breaks it

[proper acorn]

Ok

[green sentinel]

and I don't feel like going through every single file in the game that references Hitler as a leader -- much easier just to change the portrait and localization

[proper acorn]

Isn't it better to create him without using Hitler?

[green sentinel]

no, because then I would have to find every instance in the game where Hitler is referenced by his character and not just in loc

[proper acorn]

copy the vanilla file and just add your character

[green sentinel]

Which there are a lot of -- as an example, when originally did it as you suggested every single German general was deleted

[green sentinel]

dude it already works

my issue is the entirely new character I created, Hans Schultz (another character from the show) not being a field marshal for Germany

[proper acorn]

Ok

[proper acorn]

there's nothing wrong

[green sentinel]

he doesnt show up in game

[proper acorn]

SOV_georgy_zhukov = {
name = SOV_georgy_zhukov

[proper acorn]

Are the location of the files correct?

the file name is GER?

[green sentinel]

yes

[proper acorn]

I don't know so

[vivid stag]

whole map should be gone sir

[final tinsel]

have you checked common/characters?

wait field marshal?

field_marshal = { ... } ?

[rapid cairn]

what do you all think of "Player led peace conferences" mod?

[worn moth]

goated, my eyes love it

[rapid cairn]

agreed, i've not tried it until just recently, got tired of the AI-border gore

The tricky part for me is distributing the lands "evenly according to warscore"

any advice?

[worn moth]

no, I don't really do it like this, I use it only or mods or on not legit gameplay, othervise I play vanila ironman

[rapid cairn]

🦾

[worn moth]

does anybody know how to make a non - existing country rebel and take a % of troops? let's say that Ukraine rebels and takes 20% of the red army

I tried doing that by startring a civil war in Russia and then annexing the side of the civil war, but I don't know how to annex and transfer the troops of the civil war side

[green sentinel]

I updated it to be field marshal not corps commander

Regardless it still doesn't spawn in

[late vector]

fix the serbia croatia border

give srem to serbia

you can do it with nudge

[leaden umbra]

okay guys, never mind, I actually fix this lmao

[obtuse condor]

no Srijem is Croatian

[late vector]

well maybe you think it is, but as it stands serbia controls it

[obtuse condor]

well not for long ...

[late vector]

im curious about one thing tho

im not a balkaner nor a slav

but arent you guys brothers?

like culturally linguistically etc

whats with the hate that south slavic ultranationalists have towards each other

[obtuse condor]

they killed us for hundeds of years

they opressed us

[late vector]

so you think responding to fire with fire is adequate?

[obtuse condor]

and the serbs share much of their language with the turks

[obtuse condor]

yes they dont deserve to breathe

they were a Otoman puppet for very long

and we defeated the Turks

[late vector]

have you ever sat down and talked with a serbian? if you did, okay then i have nothing to say

[obtuse condor]

yes the ones i spoke with think yugoslavia should be back and yes they hate us too

[worn moth]

didn't you get enough revenge on them during a certain event in the 1940?

[obtuse condor]

no this wasnt enouth

and they killed the Banatgermans and Slovens

so they dont deserve anything

anyways sorry for ranting about this

this is king Josias xD

[worn moth]

I'm not trying to change your opinion or anything

but I just want to say this

the Austrians ruled over the Czechs for hundreds of years, yet I have not met a Czech that hates Austrians

[obtuse condor]

well the Austrians saw the chechs a little more as equals than the Serbs the Croatians but yes i get you a little bit

[worn moth]

I'm sorry, but I have to do this
it is Czechs, not chechs

[obtuse condor]

haha its allright

[worn moth]

I have just realised
the ch in Czechia, check and ash are all pronounced differently

[obtuse condor]

haha

[obtuse condor]

anyways are you also creating a mod

[proper acorn]

how to solve it?

[worn moth]

yes

[obtuse condor]

nice what are you creating ?

[worn moth]

Czechoslovakia rework

[obtuse condor]

ohh nice i am doing a axis rework but i only do the Reichsprotectorat Böhmen und Mähren

i left Checkoslovakia allone

alone

but if you need portraits i have some xD

[worn moth]

yeah, I've already added that Czechia will be called that under German rule

[obtuse condor]

if you need heydrich or Kurt Daluge

i have them

[worn moth]

not right now, but I am pretty sure I will need some in the future

[obtuse condor]

looks pretty good i think

[worn moth]

yeah

[obtuse condor]

but mot of my portraits are Croatian Generals

[worn moth]

makes sense

[obtuse condor]

and some Hungaryans

[worn moth]

I will take it and propably use it in the future, of course only if you don't mind

[obtuse condor]

if you need some Czeck Portraits from German Generals or Collaborators contact me

[obtuse condor]

ofc it would be a shame if they were in only one mod

and it would be a shame if you didnt have him included

Rudolf Viest

the only Slovak General of Checkoslovakia

i needed him for Slovakia but yeah

[worn moth]

I'm going to send you message so that I can contact you later, either way thanks

[obtuse condor]

sure

[brisk mountain]

Gave russia Kalinangrad

[green sentinel]

Czechoslovakia needs a new focus tree

also more generals

For having an actually strong army before getting betrayed by the Allies they have very few generals

[proper acorn]

help me

[proper acorn]

?

[proper acorn]

Why doesn't my focus appear even though it meets the allow_branch requirements?

[limber badger]

It seems there are many of us haha

[limber badger]

Can't really help ya but i recommend Hoi4 modding den server. I found many solutions there and the people there are also very helpful

[limber badger]

R u planning on making Slovakian rebellion and giving them an army?

[proper acorn]

Can you send me the link?

[limber badger]

Yeah, i'll send u the link in DMs

[limber badger]

Don't have this exact method, but you can make an OOB file in history folder, give them a number of units and then loading the file upon focus completion

[haughty field]

how do I mod?

[limber badger]

Start with looking up Ironworkshop on youtube for basics

he is the best for starters

[haughty field]

thank you

[limber badger]

Np, once you grasp the basics and need help w something bigger don't be afraid to ask here.

[proper acorn]

Ok

Thx

[worn moth]

funilly enough, I was planning on doing that right as I complete the lox and pictures, and have it in the next update

[limber badger]

sent u dm

hope it helps

[brave quarry]

What language is the hoi4 code?

[slender brook]

HOI4 is programmed in C++. The modding interface is Paradox's own pseudo-code

[brave quarry]

So the code you “write” modding focuses and things would be C++?

[slender brook]

It gets translated into C++ at some stage, but you don't write any C++ yourself

[brave quarry]

Ah okay so I just put in their own code and it does its own thing translating to C++?

[slender brook]

Yeah

Here's an example of Paradox modding code

[brave quarry]

Yeah I find it as like caveman English

[clear finch]

[worthy quartz]

Anyone got ideas for a communist path for Slovakia? This is how it looks like so far

[craggy hawk]

whats the best cold war mod

[craggy hawk]

like the one thats closest to vanilla

[empty tundra]

maybe you can put a focus to get war goals againts the the czech republic or other balkans country

[shell mango]

Demanding regions from Italy/rest of Balkans? Or puppets of certain territories then integrate in future?

[empty tundra]

or something like a five years plan

[shell mango]

Yeah good shout

Maybe go into an economical path if there's not a separate one

Or have options

Economical - diplomatical (alliances or so)

[empty tundra]

yeah thats sounds good

[azure drift]

Is there no modkit?

[obtuse condor]

do you know how to change the religion ?

[brisk monolith]

Do these portraits look good enough to be put in a mod?

[slender brook]

Yes. But I do advise you delete the message since we have rules against controversial people or events.

[merry mica]

Is there a way to edit the consumer_goods fomula?

I have looked through almost all files and still got zero clue

Anyone got tips for making portaits?

[pale compass]

Sorry, nah man

Im just surprised about TNO rn

[merry mica]

I add a modifier to the country I'm playing via a decision,but the modifier will vanish after a few seconds,but it effects remain,can anyone teach me how to make the modifier stay visible?

[round ermine]

depends on what style your doing there is guides for everything on yt if you search for it

vanilla is pretty much painting on depth shadows and highlights at x2 the normal scale of a portrait so instead of 156x210 its 312x420 then you shrink it down after your content with it do some tweaks and move on

screen shot of my most reccent portrait at the scale i worked on it at, and here is what it looked like after colorizing, doing some color corrections and pretty much cleaning up the uniform

[scarlet palm]

you cant

you need a fucos tree

like iran (i think) if you get pahlavi your country be secular

[obtuse condor]

Ok thanks

[wide lynx]

thoughts on these icons? THE ONES IN RED ARE NOT MINE AND ARE PLACEHOLDER

(submod for Novum Vexillium btw) Also redid the special forces training rq

Hello everyone, i'm actually making a mod with Sigma empire as germany. The sigma empire use the ideology "national-masculinism" , and i can't figure why the icon of the ideology doesn't appear in game, can someone help me ? (tag if you're answering me)

Where is the napoleon portrait stored in the files? It’s not in FRA

[sage osprey]

Does everyone know will there be any new update for dark hour mod

[nimble solar]

Idk, but darkest hour really annoyed me.

The Soviets died before Japan declared war on me as the US so I couldn't do anything. Also didn't know what templates were good so my army was ineffective

[sage osprey]

Yeah but i hope they will fix that in next update

Hi I'm the main dev of Novum Vexillum. I really recommend including real life Australian army programs for flavour as well as making sure the tree is about the same size as the generic military trees just so the player doesn't feel like they're losing out

Hello, I'd like to ask how do i stop Austria from always joining Germany when im making a mod. I made them both under one same ideology and faction its just i do not want the specific event to trigger and i don't know where it is

[obtuse condor]

prob look up on yt iron workshop the guy explains everythin pretty good and yeah you can ak me if you got some more complex questions

[wide lynx]

Yeah, It's still WIP

[magic stone]

gimme a shout if you need any help because we really wanted to make an Australian tree but can't because no one on the dev team knows anything about it 💀

[wide lynx]

I live in Australia, and I always wonder why Australia never get's any focus tree mods in any overhauls or anything except for base game and R56

[lucid garnet]

@frank salmon It's the HOI3 map mod. I think it runs better than FPS map mod and looks better too.

[frank salmon]

aight thanks

[azure drift]

wait you actually have to write code for mods? theres no modkit?

[lofty plaza]

There is not

[visual oasis]

Well theres hoi4modding.com but thats quite fancy

[azure drift]

They need to make a modkit, it'd definitely see major growth in modding

[desert current]

basically everything is manual

[visual oasis]

I think ive heard that they wouldnt but im not sure

[azure drift]

Stupid af

[desert current]

i mean, hoi4 modding is easy and straightfoward already so imo i dont see a point

[visual oasis]

Yea ik but for the people like me who cant manage to dl the apps (like for coding or smt) it would be nice

[desert current]

you dont really need any special apps for coding, you can just use notepad but yeah i get what you mean

[azure drift]

For you who may understand, but when I look at it, i see lines of code, which to me is like reading chinese

[desert current]

all coding takes practice

but tutorials can help

so on, so on

[azure drift]

Yeah but coding is much more complicated than a modkit

[desert current]

yeah i understand, but also coding can be more flexible

[azure drift]

I can understand seeing mods of bethesda games with CK, much better than code, even that i dont understand

[azure drift]

Modkit is just using the game engine to create your own shit, its 99.9% the same as what the devs use

[desert current]

why i specified can

[azure drift]

And im disagreeing hard

[tall ferry]

coding will forever be more flexible than any program designed to help you create code or build code

that's just factual

[sage osprey]

Does anybody know how to make custom map for hoi4

[wide lynx]

HOI4 Coding is very very easy, it can just be time-consuming sometimes.

how can i make this mod list better

damn hol up

how do i make this mod list better

I'm crazy, that's why I'm making a mod about 475

[worn delta]

Most of the leaders do not have portraits, and there is a minimum of information about the countries; it is not even clear where the countries are located

different sources have different boundaries😭

[obtuse condor]

damn

[glossy ivy]

I'm just makiing my whole entire thing with my friends, borders aren't done yet so it looks a bit goofy

It's just with people from my friend group so names are a bit unique

[elder tundra]

omg I did it

@full raft@proper acorn I finally fix the damn thing

[proper acorn]

[elder tundra]

but now the map looks like this ._.

[proper acorn]

[elder tundra]

Idk what happened

[rose heath]

did you make rivers
by making giant long holes in terrain

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-635629308990545194

[elder tundra]

💀

[rose heath]

you know these are completely unpassable (apart from a literal naval invaision)

creating tiny little chokepoints

oh wait you made bridges

huh

i guess that's interesting

wait are these bridges or graphical bugs

i think it's actually graphical bugs

well make bridges please

[elder tundra]

Do you know what happened here?

[rose heath]

and it'll be a fun map design

[rose heath]

i had this happen too and just regenerated the map
you can just put all provinces into one state and then assign them manually but that'll take hours

map generator just sometimes does that

until it doesn't

[elder tundra]

what? 💀

[rose heath]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAr4RyxpLNA

use this tutorial

it isn't perfect

[elder tundra]

I was following that exact tutorial btw

[rose heath]

well i was doing that too and got the same error

just redo stuff

it's annoying

but it happens

[elder tundra]

what do you mean with "redo"?

[rose heath]

put all the things in mapgen again

[elder tundra]

make the whole map again?

[rose heath]

your map is fine

[elder tundra]

oo

[rose heath]

it's mapgen that's wrong

just put all the things in mapgen again

and it will probably work next time, hopefuly

[elder tundra]

alright

[rose heath]

with no bridges nothing stops anyone from building a maginot line right here
hopefuly you do plan to add some

[rose heath]

unfortunately this tutorial did not mention a lot of the problems that i faced

and i had to seek answers on discord

if you get past the annoying state error, and your map won't launch anyway then you can text me i'll probably know why, or at least know how to check why

[elder tundra]

ok

[rose heath]

well now there are folders for specific languages instead of all being in one folder

well you go to the same place, enter the english folder, and probably search up focus, not abilities

i'm pretty sure it was changed

i think it's called focus_i_english.yml

[meager epoch]

how do I rename cities?

[meager epoch]

I wanna change koln to bonn

[rose heath]

victory_points_l_english for cities like Berlin

[glossy ivy]

lmfao yeah thats why i asked how you make crossings lol

[glossy ivy]

yeah thought it'd be fun :p

but i plan for there to be bridges of some sort yeah

[glossy ivy]

.

I just like the design of the map like that way more than just having normal rivers you barely see when you zoom out

Does lead to some issues regarding combat over them but I'll make it work

I'll probably just give every country a standard buff with attacking accross water crossings or smth

anyways ima sleep gn

I based it off a map I made 2 years ago about me and my friends for fun

how do i get started on modding?

iron workshop’s pretty outdated

[timber zenith]

iron workshop

[edgy fjord]

its outdated

[timber zenith]

it's old but not irrelevant

it all still applies

[edgy fjord]

well it is because i cant seem to activate the debug mode

@timber zenith

[timber zenith]

put -debug in launch options

[edgy fjord]

it says when i apply / do ok: “nuh uh no existy”

[timber zenith]

wdym by that

[edgy fjord]

it says it doesnt exist

[timber zenith]

where does it say that?

[edgy fjord]

idk im confused myself

[timber zenith]

can you send a screenshot?

[edgy fjord]

when i try to apply

[edgy fjord]

im not home for around 3-4 hours

but here is what i did

[timber zenith]

There isn't an apply button

it just works

[edgy fjord]

i made a hoi4 executable shortcut in the desktop

i right clicked properties

added in -debug

and it says Nuh uh

just what iron workshop told me

[timber zenith]

Did you put that in the quotations?

[edgy fjord]

if u want more specifics go watch iron workshop’s vid about it

[edgy fjord]

i tried outside, inside, no space, with space

[edgy fjord]

it still didnt work

[timber zenith]

Works for me

[edgy fjord]

wtf

[timber zenith]

But you don't need to do allat anyway

Right click hoi4 in the steam library, press properties and under launch options put -debug

[edgy fjord]

ill try

alfred rosenburg for a WIP mod of mine (the lines and x's are to prevent people from taking my work)

check error log

This ☝️

Always check error log @hollow rover

[worldly timber]

is it possible to parse values from the game (such as what track is currently playing on the in-game radio) and "export" them to an external program (maybe through writing the value in a text file so the external program can read it)?

Apparently the french republic deported 300 priests to french guiana

1792-1793

albeit i will make it 3000 to represent the genocide the french republic did

to the priests and nuns

[hollow rover]

hi guys. can anyone help? this focus isnt showing up ingame no matter what i do.

idk my coding thing works that when i click on a bracket it shows what bracket it alligns with

all brackets there have another to connect with

wdym

[desert current]

no usually its because your focus doesnt have a shine effect on it

[hollow rover]

erm what

[desert current]

the glow and shining effect when you hover your mouse over, do the focus etc

every focus needs it to function properly

custom icon

[hollow rover]

?? it doesnt appear in the game at all

im using a normal hoi4 icon every single focus works except this one which doesnt appear at all

[desert current]

ah i thought you were talking about icons for a moment there

[hollow rover]

no but can you also try to help with it??

[hollow rover]

:<

[desert current]

idk, all i can say is make sure your brackets are connected properly because thats usually the problem for me

color fr nations is in the common/countries/colors file and also make a custom file in common/countries with your countrie name and in these files your put in a rgb code in the rgb = { 0 0 0 } area
