[hollow rover]

i used a different template and it works now

[desert current]

i think manpower you canjust put in history folder and in your countries file just type add_manpower = { 50000 }

[desert current]

nice job

[hollow rover]

idk everytime i do a focus ill check all the brackets ig

[desert current]

brackets are super annoying but the thing that makes things work

[alpine bluff]

thats a good thing because now guiana is more holy

[desert current]

make sure its in your country file

[hollow rover]

another problem.. the focus now appears but without being connected to the one before it

[desert current]

u put it in traits

take it out make it an independent variable

did u reload game?

if it isnt add_manpower than it may be set_manpower, manpower

if none of that works

just make a idea

[hollow rover]

yo can u pls help

focus = {
id = RHZ_F_dohoda
icon = GFX_focus_hol_the_foundations_of_defense
x = 0
y = 1
relative_position_id = RHZ_F

    prerequisite = { RHZ_F }
    cost = 5

    ai_will_do = {
        factor = 30
        modifier = {
            factor = {
        }
    }

    available = {
    
    }
    
    bypass = {

    }

    cancel_if_invalid = yes
    continue_if_invalid = no
    available_if_capitulated = yes
    search_filters = { FOCUS_FILTER_POLITICAL }

    completion_reward = {
        add_political_power = 120
    }
  }
  }

the focus appears but without the "prerequisite" or time

basically it just exists

[desert current]

try put the prerequisite = { RHZ_F } there without brackets maybe im not sure

[hollow rover]

oh i added focus = (RHZ_F) and it works now

[wintry geode]

what do i add to the 5-10ish anti catholic focuses hmmm

-20 opinion of the papal states and vice versa

[desert current]

What is your mod about?

[wintry geode]

adding scenarios focuses events decisions etc

im working on adding focuses for 1789-1815 and to a lesser extent 1816-1836

[desert current]

Sounds cool

Copy the colors from base game

Because that file requires every country

Yes there is

Common/countries/colors

[obtuse condor]

thats messed up code in the colors file

i had the same problem, its a parenthesis issue typically

[desert current]

Yep, that’s usually due to no colors file or country_tag

Search for colors in your common/countries/ folder, should be there. Then you need to copy a line of code from one of the country’s that looks SIMILAR to:
ENG = {
rgb = { 0 0 0 }
rgb_ui = { 0 0 0 }
}
Im on phone right now so I can’t check the exact code but make sure looks like something similar

Yeah I know, which is why I asked you to copy the base game one over

Because this is incorrect code

U see it working now

Cool

[wintry geode]

Belgium doesnt want to be a puppet of austria for some reason

[desert current]

In the British history file you could just search puppet and copy the line of code onto your country history file

[wintry geode]

i did that

[desert current]

Didn’t work?

[wintry geode]

1788.1.1 = {
if = {
limit = { has_start_date < 1790.01.02 }
set_autonomy = {
target = BEL
autonomous_state = autonomy_dominion
freedom_level = 0.4
}
set_autonomy = {
target = MIL
autonomous_state = autonomy_dominion
freedom_level = 0.4
}
}
}

[wintry geode]

Milan becomes a puppet but not Belgium

[desert current]

Average paradox bug

Maybe it’s because Belgium has the Congo as a puppet??

Or is it still them just owning the land

[wintry geode]

they own the land

[desert current]

Of course

[wintry geode]

they dont have the congo as a puppet

[desert current]

Paradox bug idk

[wintry geode]

hidden effects in focuses are always great

going to add a few that help out foreign countries

[wintry geode]

go into fra units 1936

and search for the provinces those divisisions are in

and change them to paris or marseilles (or some other city)

go into both and search for the provinces

id

you deleted the parts with those provinces in the units file?

as in the entire file?

or just the things in it

[timid orchid]

which one?

let me check

is it because of an extra }?

there must be an error log for it right

this one?

hmmm

idk

it looks fine

thug_nine is there?

its just the wrong icon

the focus id is thug nine

oh

it might work

cuz they had the same id

[elder tundra]

How do I create a nation? I tried following the Iron Workshop tutorial but it doesnt appear in game

[kindred axle]

Wgy so much space and disorder?

[kindred axle]

You should first create the tag and his name, give names to all his ideology, flag and generic Leaders, and then give It cores and here you have it

Look in gamefiles as examples

If you dont Need available cancel It man

Put prequesite under icon

Whats that position

Put relative position ID or It Will not appeae @timid orchid

[elder tundra]

the problem is that the mapgen gave me a folder with the states for my map but in the nudge the states are like a mesh of vanilla states and I dont know which ones to use

[kindred axle]

;/

Just do It on your own man

Dont use mapgen

Delete the folder

Remake it

Go to nudge

And follow iron workshop steps

Its far easier believe me

[elder tundra]

So I delete the folder that I already had in my mod folder and then I create it again?

[kindred axle]

Yes

Be careful to not delete gamefiles xd

Like i did 💀

Had to reinstall the whole hoi4 and mod

[elder tundra]

this is like my 4th or 5th attempt on doing my first mod, had to reinstall hoi4 too and make the damn maps and steps of creating one all over

[kindred axle]

I made a mod with more than a custom focus tree of 200 focuses

And i accidentely deleted it

💀

It took me 1 whole month to do that shit between design,idea and practice

[next spoke]

working on a mod called "Core4"
essentially every cored nation becomes independent

[elder tundra]

nah 💀

[proper acorn]

Its missing
prerequisite = {}
Mutually_exclusive = {}

[kindred axle]

Mutually exlusive isnt necessary

Its more the way he makes the space

[kindred axle]

Prequesite isnt necessary too

💀

[elder tundra]

@kindred axle deleting the state folder of my mod crashes the game

[kindred axle]

Wait

Did you deleted xorrextly?

Correctly

[elder tundra]

Yes

The states folder of my mod

[kindred axle]

Check gamefiles or mods

[elder tundra]

Not the vanilla one

[kindred axle]

So It crashes when you start the game?

[elder tundra]

Yes

[kindred axle]

Then you messed up some states

Go in debug mod

[elder tundra]

I am already in debug

I can send you the Error log if you want to see

[kindred axle]

Send

[kindred axle]

DUDE

LOOK AT THE PROVINCES

they are missing stayes

Thats kinda too many of them

[elder tundra]

I already had states before deleting the folder

But they were line named after vanilla ones

[kindred axle]

Lots of invalid states ID

[elder tundra]

Tho in the states folder they were called like STATE_12

[kindred axle]

Check that out

And the localisation in First lines

Check this 3

States for provinces
Invalid state ID
Localisation

@elder tundra

[elder tundra]

Ok how do I do that?

[kindred axle]

Dont know xd

Never touched map

First time i did

Was my last xd

[elder tundra]

I undo the deleting of the states folder that the mapgen gave me

Now I'll see if the game works or if it still crashes

[elder tundra]

The thing is that Im not using the earth map, is something that I did myself

Has no nations yet, the one Im doing will be the first one

[timber zenith]

if only that new blank map workshop mod came out earlier it would've saved you a massive headache haha

[grim laurel]

worldbuilding in a nutshell

[timid orchid]

ah

[elder tundra]

Fr fr

[proper acorn]

I didn't know

it is good to use relative_position_id?

[elder tundra]

I think

That I fixed the States issue

It now shows the state names like STATE_68 and not like the names from the base game states

[kindred axle]

DUDE

You cant have focuses without it

Whats the matter with you?

If they dont have a position how can they spawn in your focus tree???

[kindred axle]

Lol

[elder tundra]

I suppose that now I can work with that instead

Time to rewatch the tutorial

[west oxide]

god damn im having 10x more fun playing the minecraft mod than then base game

Anyone got Old World blues mod?

[obtuse condor]

the localization is not working for some reason . . .

whats wrong, ive tried multiple things

[elder tundra]

Omg

It works now

My pink aah nation is on the map

[next spoke]

guys i have a dillema
im working on a mod where all cored nations become independent
and ive reached israel/palestine
which do i choose..

[elder tundra]

Split the state in two and put palestine bellow and israel above

Like Korea

[next spoke]

cant
it breaks the point of the mod!!

[elder tundra]

Well

Then do the Israel-Palestine Empire

[next spoke]

Nope cant do that

cored game nations only

[elder tundra]

Omg bro you make it so hard

Then choose Israel

There are a lot of arabic/islamic countries in that region anyways

idk why there are some states with base game names

[subtle cliff]

is there any mods that have a similar focus tree to the finland in the dlc. I cant afford to dlc so im looking for a mod that I can do a similar focus tree with

[crude spade]

Check the steam mod download and search like the Finland focus section

[obtuse condor]

this is fixed now, dont know what was wrong with it

[timber zenith]

You didn't have a fascism loc

Only DEF and ADJ

So it defaulted to BLT

[obtuse condor]

aah

[obtuse condor]

[undone cairn]

which file or files do i need to add to my mod to make a country a subject of another country

[timber zenith]

You can put it pretty much anywhere, but in the overlord country's history file (history/countries/yourcountry.txt), put puppet = TAG with the tag of the subject nation

Hello. I am looking to start coding, i would like to learn how to code in focus trees. If anyone has any tips, feel free to dm me :D

[slow cosmos]

Made a map of Europe if mongol empire didn’t exist. First time doing this tho so it prolly sucks

I use minimum graphics btw

[wide lynx]

I did, nothing's different from it.

[edgy fjord]

yo guys how can i make a starting country an integrated puppet of another country? ping when reply ty

[wide lynx]

go history > countries > country you want to puppet the other nation

set_autonomy = {
    target = COUNTRY_TO_PUPPET_TAG
    autonomy_state = autonomy_ # find these in common > autonomous_states
}

@edgy fjord

[azure drift]

Turkey and Russia would not exist

Persia would control most of central asia

[edgy fjord]

i have to make a new file in common?

[wide lynx]

no

if you want to create new puppet tiers then yea

[edgy fjord]

so i just copy paste this

[wide lynx]

yeah

into the countries history file

[edgy fjord]

and the line where it says tag, do i just put in for example IKD?

[wide lynx]

it's the tag of the country you want to puppet

so for example australia is AST

germany is GER

france is FRA

america is USA

and so on

[edgy fjord]

i know but can u give me an example

[wide lynx]

example in USA history file

set_autonomy = {
    target = AST
    autonomy_state = autonomy_puppet
}

makes australia a puppet of usa

[edgy fjord]

ty

[edgy fjord]

and whats this last part, find these in common autonomous_states?

[wide lynx]

yeah the different kinds of puppet tiers, like intergrated, puppet, collaboration government etc

if you go there and click on it then you can find the id to use in autonomy_state = id of puppet tier

[knotty tide]

basically it’s painting on light so i use brush tool in photoshop, using black and white on 30% opacity and flow. draw on the lighting and details, recolorize for consistency and then put them in a frame. i’ve made like videos n stuff showcasing how to do it, it only takes me about 10 mins per asset.

not sure if i can share a link to my video showcasing my method but if you search “hoi4 vanilla icon” on youtube you can find a video i made showing my process

Kievan Rus would most likely not exist, probably a bunch of small petty Rus states, although Novgorod would be quite a large one, possibly they would conquer most the Rus states

Is there a way to ban guarantees for AI only? Haven’t found where guarantee decision is located

[haughty bison]

gamerules somewhere

[celest dock]

If anybody wants to contribute to my Lord of the Rings mod expansion pack (10ksubs 50k views) it's a big mod, professional and experienced modders needed, i am looking for :

• GUI Modders and custom mechanics
• GFX Artists wanting to create focus icons, art, event pictures, leader portraits, and more
• We have a few spots for regular Devs who want to create fun focus trees for smaller nations with current generic focus trees

Requirements :

• Previous experience and work portfolio
• 16+ preferable 18+, friendly
• Interested in Lord of the Rings or wants to learn more, you have to have an understanding of the lore of the universe and so on

dm me if interested

[wise sundial]

Where I can only totally ban guarantees for everyone, not only for AI. Aldo, haven’t understood how these rules work at all (as I remember, where’re smth like “guarantees…allowes=yes”)

[haughty bison]

well you either have it with everyone or with nobody

i am not a modder so idk what to do other than gamerules

[wise sundial]

I guess nobody knows. Didn’ see any mod that changes that guarantee decision

[slow cosmos]

Basically the Black Death that killed like 50% of Europe arrived later when we had better medicine. So it wiped out far less so france and other largely affected places are higher pop and I made them more powerful than irl.

[slow cosmos]

Ya it could’ve been for sure. But during the 1800s they could’ve unified like Germany

I left Germany un-unified cuz the French are much more powerful with the Black Death doing less damage than it did

[timber zenith]

You should check out Magna Europa to make scenarios like that

[slow cosmos]

Why?

[obtuse condor]

you need to look in the maps folder

there is a file

likethis

and then there is a file called definition.csv

this is for thr Provinces

and you change the map in the provinces.bmp file

[hollow rover]

heheahehaehsaehsheh

[obtuse condor]

okay ...

[hollow rover]

idk i already made it with the uhh

modding tools

[hollow rover]

wouldnt the provinces.bmp thing take like

50 years

[obtuse condor]

well you can first use 1 color to paint your map

and after that you can still create the new provinces

like one color for water

and one for land

and then you can pint the provinces

[hollow rover]

wait r u half croat and half slovak or german??

the flags in the bio confuse me

[obtuse condor]

I have come up with a workable method of using save game editing to reroll division commander names using the seed number. (Used in 1.12, not tested in other versions)
First, replace the existing seed with 102, load to roll. Then reroll by changing the 1 and 2 to other numbers, they can be the same. Once a desired first name is acquired, stop messing with the non-0 numbers, and only add 0's between them.
For example, if 403 produced a first name you want, change to 4003 to reroll the last name only, then 40003, and so on.

(Why did I do this you ask? Because I like naming things)

How can I change the flag of a country with a Focus?

When you play as hungary and restore Austria-Hungary your flag changes to the austro-hungarian flag.
I figured out that this:
set_global_flag = form_austria_hungary_flag
does that flag change I want but how can I do that with a custom flag?

I watched to tutorial of The Iron Workshop on how to create flags but its not exactly what I need.

[mild oak]

There's modding for this game?

yup

does anyone have a hoi4 mod thats just a custom map without any countries?

[proper acorn]

I don't think it exists

you have to make a map from scratch

[hollow rover]

If i have one then how do i make custom countries in it

[proper acorn]

you have to create provinces and states and add the country tag

i've never made a map for hoi4

but I think that must be it

[hollow rover]

i mean when u make a map there are already states and provinces

[proper acorn]

I didn't know

[obtuse condor]

hey I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a couple of modding questions for me

Latinx America looks way better know

the viceroyalties really added allot

I've made some more alt History German flags improving upon them still only test flags as of now

Need more options on which is best :3

The last one is just a Weimar Germany flag remake tbh

[soft furnace]

1st one is better than 2nd

[empty pebble]

The second one wasn't one I was thinking of implementing anyway tbh

It looks pretty mid but I thought it could be cool for like a Nordic puppet state or something

[soft furnace]

1st one would be better for that as well (the first has the centralised line, just like the nordic countries)

[empty pebble]

Alånd has a similar like too the second one?

I presume you know what alånd is?

[soft furnace]

but the middle line is still too high, even for Alånd's flag.

anyone got tips on how to make hoi4 icons (eg national spirits/focus icons)?

[slender brook]

Yeah nah the border merging into the black band doesn't work. It only looks fine on the official flag due to how thin it is

[rose heath]

bro just casually wants to make the biggest mod in history of hoi4 just like that

even the biggest mods usually don't add more than 15 years worth of actual content

and 15 years is a lot

even road to 56 only goes for 20 years

Its a nornal scripted gui just in the decisions tab, and the frame for each of the states is decided by a variable, im at work rn but i could give screenshots and a better explanation of how i made it once i get home

In like 6 hours

If noone else answers before i can

Hello, I have a question about creating flags i put them in flags folder and they dont work. What can I do to make them appear?

[wintry geode]

do they have the names of the country tags?

and are they sized appropriately?

in large medium and small categories

Like this iyo?

[lethal fern]

Yes they have tags and are sized correctly

Maybe the issue is that I don’t have a program to open these files

[proven sable]

war effort update is causing these errors in my mod and I have no idea why or what they mean

ohhhhhh its because they added the new pop up thing isnt it

[worn needle]

Hello, I have a question about how to update a mod like a self made one can anyone tell me how ?

[proven sable]

Upload it again

[river beacon]

So tons of these kinds of messages have popped up in my error log when i want to start my mod. How do i fix that I have no idea how

[proven sable]

Same

It's something from the war effort patch

[river beacon]

So a bug by the devs?

[proven sable]

They've changed something which is conflicting with your mod

[river beacon]

Okay

[proven sable]

You can compare your mod files with game files and see what's different

[river beacon]

alright thanks

[proven sable]

That should fix things

[worn moth]

quick question, where can I find in the files the medium flag overlay and how is it called?

[empty pebble]

The last set of flags I'm making for my expanded focus tree mod for now

Idk which one too use

There the left on is an Ostland re-make

The right one is for the independent Reich's Latvia

Working on a name for that lol 😓

[worn moth]

please

Is there any better way to find out why my game crashes on startup than to read the 1000+ line log error.log?

[worn moth]

found it

[prime grail]

Can I get a link to the mod?

[empty pebble]

It's still being developed

As it's literally just me

And not only that but I only started modding about 4 months ago :/

At first I was planning for it too be a side project but it's ended up taking about a month just too get here

I presume it could take upwards of four months too finish as I haven't implemented any flags or expanded focus's for Latvia, Ostland and I'm missing about half of the German tree expansion

[prime grail]

Well I hope it goes well, and this mod seems like it would be very enjoyable!

[empty pebble]

It is not enjoyable too make

I know that much

[high hatch]

Anyone know how to do a civil war like soviet where the both side are the same ideology but avoid them to merge together?

The prerequisite must exist for it to show

How is naval_equipment_role icon linked to particular hulls? I only see role index in AI equipment, but what sets the default role icon?

Does it just use the AI setting for that particular hull?

remove one

if there's no prerequisite, then you should make it first

Hello, i'm trying to make focus which is only available if the government is fascist or if the country is subject of a country with fascist government, will this work?

[proper acorn]

I think yes

[slow kestrel]

hello is anyone able to give me advice for something quick, I made a very small mod just cant get it to work after uploading it and i cant figure out why i have like no modding experience

[proper acorn]

can't upload?

[slow kestrel]

i can, mod works on local version, uploaded it to workshop and tried to use workshop version but it didnt work properly. All files are identical and I have no idea whats wrong

also removed local version from mod directory bcause i read that is a fix people use but still didnt work

[limber badger]

damn, i have the opposite problem

Did u try to ask someone to test it instead?

Could be your-sided problem

[slow kestrel]

havent done that yet but maybe, i tried deleting and reinstalling and remaking it like 6 times

[limber badger]

Then try it, it could narrow down the possible problems

also try #tech-support and ping some staff, they have experience with this

(its possible that they will direct you back here )

[slow kestrel]

before I do that is there any general advice i should try with the actual mod? like i said im v new to it so idk if what i did was exactly correct

[limber badger]

Screenshot your descriptor.mod and paste it here

[slow kestrel]

good segway i had a question about that first

basically

i made a submod for a submod, i copied the files from the original into my new mod except the thumbnail and descriptor and edited them in my own one. Was I meant to use his descriptor as well or was I meant to use the new one that comes when you create a new mod?

[slow kestrel]

its for a millennium dawn and I have that as a dependency in the descriptor but do i also need the submod Im using originally as another dependency?

[limber badger]

never did sub-mod for a sub-mod so can't really tell, but you can give it a try

[slow kestrel]

ok, I also noticed some mods have a "path" in descriptor and some don't how important is that for this type of mod?

[limber badger]

i'd say they are very important

at least the wiki and tutorials described it that way :D

[slow kestrel]

lol

[limber badger]

you won't go wrong if u always specify a path

[slow kestrel]

in that case if I add the path to the descriptor should it be the same as the original submod or would it be whatever is on my computer?

[limber badger]

you will make it's own path

[slow kestrel]

can i put any path in or does it have to be specific to where it is on mine?

[limber badger]

specific i guess

for local 100%

for workshop use it too, but workshops have remove ids

i do it as a "guarantee"

sorry if im confusing you, im in the middle of class

[slow kestrel]

are u saying if i use my whole path from my local pc the workshop removes names and stuff when it uploads? im still a little confused

thats all good im glad for the help

[limber badger]

it doesn't remove anything

[twilit swan]

hello, can anyone help me with this issue?

so, i have a problem when i play single player with my mod, every 15-30 mins its always crashed, then i tried to turn on '-crash_data_log" from Launcher, but there's no crash when i turn it on, but crash again when i turn it off.
and crash happened every i almost reach or reached 1 year in-game

because of that, i can't detect what caused the crash.

[verbal beacon]

do i install this for the white font or the things inside the folder

[digital heart]

Do -debug, the game should automatically give you an error log upon booting up and crashing iirc

[twilit swan]

any of these causing crash? i used -debug

[digital heart]

I don’t have too much knowledge with advanced modding I’d assume the font graphics are causing your crash, orders and events not working shouldn’t cause the immediate crash

Hi. It is possible to count how many occupied countries where condition is true a country have?

[coral salmon]

Scritped Effects:

Does anyone know what i've done wrong?

[coral salmon]

Yeah, what are you trying to achieve?

Localisation

Re-write all relevant english text in Italian

Oh, Recruit them in the Country History file

[digital heart]

Watch the hoi4 modding tutorial video about characters

[coral salmon]

It will look something like Recruit_Character = NAME

[high hatch]

So, I try to do something like this :

# If ROOT have in minimum 2 occupied countries, create Indochina
if = {
    limit = {
        count_triggers = {
            amount > 2 # Minimum 2 occupied countries
            any_occupied_country = {
                OR = {
                    tag = VIN
                    tag = LAO
                    tag = CAM
                    tag = SIA
                    tag = BRM
                }
            }
        }
    }
    # Create Indochina (by dynamic country)
}

Otherwise, the condition doesn't work.

i have a question regarding modding unit stats, if I set ai priority to 0 will that stop the ai from using those battalions?

[patent bramble]

Can the mods be downloaded even if I don't have the DLC?

[slender brook]

Yes

[cinder hedge]

I'm trying to make a building which provides research speed (learning material), how can I do this?

[proper acorn]

I think yes

[foggy locust]

How do i find out what is crashing my game? i have created a custom map with MapGen v2, i added all stratetig regions, airports and rocketsites, and still it is crashing on startup

there are no map_errors present in the error.log

there are not a lot of errors in general

[proper acorn]

the game must be causing some conflict

[kindred axle]

Game maybe doesnt read

Did you do replace?

Maybe because of that

[foggy locust]

i did a lot of path_replace because i wanted to get the Error log shorter, but it didnt change anything

[kindred axle]

:/

[kindred axle]

Than, i dont know

Because i never did map designing xd

[foggy locust]

yeah it really sucks

[kindred axle]

Tried 2 time, 2 times i had to reinstall all of hoi4

Lol

[foggy locust]

relatable

[cinder hedge]

ty, I almost figured it out (trying to make an icon)

[kindred axle]

Chad, keep the work

[cinder hedge]

ty :)
just asking is there an empty building icon?

my perfectionism is kinda driving me crazy

anyway just made one

[patent bramble]

they are mods that do almost the same thing but I don't know which is more reliable, do you have any advice?

[proven sable]

does anyone know if/how I can change the effect shore bombardment gives you?

[proper acorn]

Any image you put in the mod uses interface.gfx

This part explains what I mean

[proper acorn]

you are doing it wrong

I recommend you make the country leader in common/characters

[patent bramble]

I downloaded the mod from paradox but I don't know how to load it, it tells me this, where am I wrong?

[proper acorn]

characters = { Tag = { name = tag_name portraits = { civilian = { large = "GFX_portrait_" } } country_leader = { ideology = nazism traits = { } desc = tag_desc } } }

In common/characters/.txt

[worldly ridge]

guys is there any good totorial on ytb that explains how to make a scripted peacedeal bc i want to make a small mod with accurate yalta borders

[proper acorn]

Tag is the name of the country leader

my country leader

[patent bramble]

one thing I have a mod for version 1.13 of hoi 4 but I have 1.14 how do I use version 1.13?

[cinder hedge]

uhhhh what have I done

what is this bear with the fruits on its head

forget the missing frame and the blue building

[high hatch]

First, this option is to publish or create a new mod.
To enable a mod, go to playset, create one, and next, click on « Add a mod », search the mod you want, check it, click on « ok » and for finish, check if the slider is on « enabled » and before you launch the game, check if the playset is enabled.

[patent bramble]

I managed to do it, the problem is that even though I have the version that requires the mod, as soon as I play it it crashes

saying this

[high hatch]

Anyone know if we can create a gfx\flags by example for Vietnam (VIN) when it is puppet of France (FRA), they have a custom flag. I know in localisation, we can do without a custom cosmetic_tag, but for flag… I try « VIN_FRA » and « VIN_FRA_subject », it doesn’t work. I needed to create a cosmetic_tag and apply it to work.

[high hatch]

Well sorry, can’t help for this. Maybe it is only the mod doesn’t work with the last version. You should if you really want to play to select a old version of the game.

[patent bramble]

yes I saw that it only works for 1.13 I installed it but it still crashes

thanks anyway I hope to find the reason because I would have really liked to play this mod

[proven sable]

I've tried making some changes in the nudge tool which worked but I copied them over to a mod and now they aren't showing up in game?
