modding

[full raft]

hey, that means it's actually fun to learn 😉
And no, it isn't. It is because Textures are handled via .gfx Files and if you want to add graphics, you have to add them to a .gfx File as well.

[dry plinth]

oh

i mean my new leader the democratic one is in gfx-liders-GKO so what i did wrong

[full raft]

Wait the democratic Portrait actually shows up?
Also, the Folderpath should be gfx/leaders/GKO

[dry plinth]

folder path is good i just typed fast so i made a typo

the classic democratic man show up

not the red tea thing

[full raft]

Right, so then the .gfx thingie should be it.
That dude is Generic, it is assigned, if the Game has no Portrait

[dry plinth]

.gfx you mean i should change from .dds to .gfx?

[full raft]

No, it means you need a .gfx File to tell the Game, that your .dds exists. Unlike with .txt Files, it doesn't automatically scan for them.
So a Folder "interface" with a .gfx (for example my_portraits.gfx) inside, telling the Game about your Portrait. Again, refrence: https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Character_modding#Arguments

[dry plinth]

ohh

[dry plinth]

this thing?

or this

[full raft]

jep

[dry plinth]

first one?

[full raft]

second one after a short check

[dry plinth]

okay ty

[dry plinth]

where do i put this file in common somewhere right?

this thing is just make me stupid

is this harder then making a focus tree?

[full raft]

no, into a folder "interface" on the same level as "common"
Also, IMO gfx is way more annoying than focus trees

[dry plinth]

good

.gfx is a name of file?

that i make in interface

[full raft]

.gfx is the file extension. A possible Filename would be "my_portraits.gfx"

[dry plinth]

YO i think i make this almost good but not sure what to write in name

his name in texturefile is the same if you ask

[full raft]

the name is the String you will use to call it elsewhere

[dry plinth]

okay

so rest is good?

[pale sparrow]

gfx/leaders/GKO/Red_Lipton_II.dds

[pale sparrow]

are they dds files?

[dry plinth]

yep the photos

[pale sparrow]

wasnt sure if you had the embed software or wrong filetype

[dry plinth]

u sure i put this in name not the texturefile

Still not working

😭

here is the other script

what did i do wrong this time

@full raft are you able to tell what's wrong

[full raft]

in the other script it needs to be portraits = { civilian = { large = GFX_portrait_red_lipton_ii } }

and then the name in the first code needs to be "GFX_portrait_red_lipton_ii", of course

[dry plinth]

ohh ty

for the rest of like neutrality its going to be easier beacuse i am knowing what to do rn

beacuse of you ❤️

[full raft]

Just doing what I can 😁

[dry plinth]

erm

i did that

something went wrong

error log

[full raft]

Yeah, in the right one, you need to remove the second civilian = {} block

[dry plinth]

like this?

or i remove this civilian = {} block

and turn the first thing into civilian = {} block

like this

[full raft]

delete the following term in the second one:
large = "Red_Lipton_II.dds"

I mean, you made it work for yellow so just refrence that

[dry plinth]

like this

[dry plinth]

i made like this the yellow

[full raft]

Okay, here you go

[dry plinth]

ty its hell

to make

no

no

[full raft]

Well, he has the name... so the Character Creation is workin now. Also I guess, the term is Casesensitive, fascinating.
Replace "GFX_portrait_red_liption_ii" with "GFX_portrait_red_liption_II"

In the file i sent you

[dry plinth]

oki

still nothing

[glacial stratus]

Hello. Is it possible to trigger a decision or a mission based on an event? I would like to trigger a decision if and only if the event of the sunk of the USS Panay happened.

This is my decision triggers and it do not work:

USA = {

has_country_leader = { ruling_only = yes character = USA_franklin_delano_roosevelt }

country_event = { id = panay_incident.4 days = 1 }

}

[full raft]

because country_event is an Effect, not a trigger. To trigger it, I would suggest setting a Flag when the event is fired and then checking for that flag

[knotty tide]

hello pokewars

[full raft]

If you ping me, you can DM. But to answer the Question characters = {} and sprite_types = {} are shared for the sprites/characters

[dry plinth]

Nvm i knows what to do

[glacial stratus]

@full raft So I should set a flag directly in the vanilla code of the event of the USS panay?

I do not know excatly what is a flag for an event. Doest it give a national spirit?

[full raft]

Generate a Copy of the relevant Eventfile and edit that.
If a file in the Mod has the same name as a File in Vanilla, the Vanillafile will be overwritten.
A flag is an effect, which is entirely invisible to the Player, telling the Game about some happenings. Setting it is an Effect, checking it is a trigger

[karmic bay]

is there a mod which removes the hoi4 country names when you zoom out? I know NoNames mod does that but when I do a civilwar, the name is present on the new country

[glacial stratus]

I'll try. Thank you.

So I add something like that in the modded event effect ? set_country_flag = {
flag = my_flag
days = 100
value = 1
}

then in the decision triggers : has_country_flag = my_flag ?

[full raft]

yup. Though you can specifically set a country_flag for the USA, so that not everyone gets the Decision (Though I suppose needing FDR as Leader already kind of does that 😅 )

[glacial stratus]

So both could work ? USA = { set_country_flag = {
flag = my_flag
days = 100
value = 1
} } or USA_franklin_delano_roosevelt = { set_character_flag = {
flag = my_flag
days = 100
value = 1
} }

[full raft]

Huh. Not what I meant, but I guess so, yeah

[glacial stratus]

IT WORKS ! Thank you @full raft

[full raft]

No prob 👍 😁

[round void]

did you recruit it in the nation File

[dry plinth]

i make it work no need for help rn

[knotty tide]

i wanna add FOREIGN LEGIONs that unlocks different FOREIGN LEGIONs units and templates

YK to get more MP

[knotty tide]

@full raft whadya think bout these ideas

[spring ibex]

can we get a mod where it can go from the beginning of the universe from -13 billion bc to 2024

similar to rise of nations

with the whatever they’re called

like the time segments that rise of nations has and you can switch up the tech

i’ll do the math to see how long a game would take

150 million years irl

tbh not too bad

[sick thunder]

How do i mod can someone explain

[round void]

i recommend watching iron workshop tutorial videos or narzgel tutorial videos

[tepid notch]

quick question: how can I make a nation "transform" to basically another nation (non existent) with different cores etc
(like spain in the civil war changes to SPA or SPR I think)

[kindred axle]

change tags ?

[full raft]

It doesn't. It is SPR from the start and Nationalists are an uprising, SPA is just a Tag-Alias.

[kindred axle]

woops

[full raft]

But yeah, it is possible, just not as a single Command so to speak

[tepid notch]

I mean like creating a "new nation" that replaces the old

[kindred axle]

@tepid notch i think you can just add cores or change teh country stats on everything that country has and teh other doesnt

[tepid notch]

in spain you have like carlist spain, anarchist spain, etc all as a different nation

[kindred axle]

those are ideologies

those arent new countries

[full raft]

No they are actually seperate Tags.

[tepid notch]

yes

[kindred axle]

i mean, like for soviet union, it has Reichkommisariats naems in his country file

so i think of that

but you could just study from the spain code

[full raft]

Actually the Spains seem to use Dynamic Tags

[tepid notch]

I will try

[kindred axle]

hoi4 devs

[tepid notch]

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

does this look like a good vid?

[kindred axle]

in that you create a new country wit ha new tag

[kindred axle]

it is

iron workshop best you can find

[full raft]

Iron Workshop is always good. Though that video is about doing it before the game starts

[kindred axle]

now

i got some problems with gfx icons

only 1 works of teh 3

spriteTypes = {

SpriteType = { 
name = "GFX_focus_ger_kdf"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/focus_ger_kdf.dds"
}

SpriteType = { 
name = "GFX_focus_ger_autobahn_projekt"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/focus_ger_autobahn_projekt.dds"
}

SpriteType = { 
name = "GFX_focus_ger_air_rearm"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/focus_ger_air_rearm.dds"
}

any help @full raft ?

the names are good i checked them

[full raft]

Why do your Sprites have the same Animation Block multiple Times?

[kindred axle]

i just copied the same font the smae wit hthe others

it should be different ?

[full raft]

yes, my mistake, I didn't pay enough attention. Does the error.log spit out anything useful?

[kindred axle]

gonna check

[pale sparrow]

tag aliases and cosmetic tags

Spain in the game setup claims a bunch of civil war tags (D01, D02, D03, etc.), and without allotting them any territory they are kept alive, unlike most civil war sides, and assigned tag aliases

[full raft]

Okay, while it is I think unlikely to be our culprit; If you posted the entire File Code, the last } is missing in both. Check if they are present with your Files.

[kindred axle]

wont appear

welp

gonna check it later

[full raft]

I have one thing you could check. select a Focus and see if the Image appears in the Description of that Focus. Also does it show the missing focus icon or nothing at all?

[kindred axle]

in the focus of the autobahn, the focus icon wont change, adn in the one of air rearm it doesnt show an icon at all

[full raft]

If the Icon is fully transparent (no Questionmark Icon), then somehow the Path or Filename is incorrect. Could also be wrong encoding? Though that should generate Errors

[kindred axle]

i will look into some mod files and look how those are structured

so i can get a clear view of how its done

hi guys

Is there, perchance, any illustrious individual or esteemed consortium presently engaged in the grand endeavor of crafting a Buryatia mod, resplendent with an exquisitely detailed and impeccably balanced focus tree, embodying the pinnacle of intricate design and artistic finesse?

[full raft]

I wouldn't know of any great visionaries like that, though perhaps, if thy pitch is quite well, I may let mine Interest be piqued.

Whatcha got?

[tidal sphinx]

i myself i am not infact what you could particularly call a "modder" as i lack the skill and encouragment to have such a prestigious role, instead i am looking for a mod that grants the releasable nation situated in the soviet union by the name of buryata a focus tree. The size of it does not infact matter.

https://tenor.com/view/canon-gif-19618027

[full raft]

I don't think such a mod exists, though I could be proven wrong. Also, cause I'm bored I am now making one doing that

[spring juniper]

does anyone know of a indie mod called tno

[craggy field]

What should I do to fix this. I am making a custom map mod

[full raft]

Well, it looks like the Files describing your Provinces have ... issues.
In these Files Provinces are present, which aren't on the map (Province xxxx has no pixels in provinces.bmp), some are wrongly described (Bitmap and definition disagree) and from 13362 onward, no more strategic Regions are assigned to the Provinces.
I assume you used a Program to automatically generate those Files? I would be surprised if not, since doing that by Hand would be an obscene amount of work.

Also it looks like the Files describing naval strategic Regions weren't updated

Same goes for the States

[craggy field]

so, what should I do?

[full raft]

Sadly, it doesn't look like this would have any Quickfix. I guess you can try a different Mapgenerating Program/check if the one you use has some weird Options enabled/is used properly?
I don't really do Map Modding and even less total Map Overhauls, so I can basically only point you to https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Map_modding#Provinces relevant Wikipages.

[river beacon]

Is anyone familiar with mapgen2.2 and CMS? If so I have used these to make a new mod and it doesnt show up in my playset. neither can i add the mod to my playset as its not listed there. Can anyone help?

[tribal spear]

is there a mod where you can put a frontline over more than 1 country? It'd be easy if I can make an offensive line that goes through more than 1 country. Like for example when Germany invades the Benelux

How to fix?

theres a bunch of pixels all over the place

i cant open paint3d normally

[kindred axle]

Is that province photo?

Loke

Format?

[wintry geode]

idk mayne

i could open the files with paint3d before

now i cant open any files whatsoever with paint3d

[kindred axle]

I mean

Is that

Province.bmp

File

[wintry geode]

yeah

its a province.bmp file

[kindred axle]

It shouldnt be like that

Tahts not even paint.net?

?

If you opened province file, in which there are province numbers and their rgb

That not to open in paint

There Is a photo

Of the map

[kindred axle]

Thats how It should look like

[wintry geode]

is there a way for me too paste a certain part of this paint3d picture?

[kindred axle]

But its not Paint.net

[wintry geode]

i know

i dont use that

[kindred axle]

Dont think so

[full raft]

Wait, I recognize that Icon, that is Visual Studio Code? Is VSC running the Map Creation System?

[kindred axle]

Its far easier :/

[kindred axle]

@wintry geode you generated the map?

[wintry geode]

nah

i just changed the base one

[full raft]

I suggest Gimp, it does its job well for me. Also with ctrl+c you can copy basically anything selected, the question is just whether a different Program will accept it.

[kindred axle]

Welp

[wintry geode]

Is there a way for me to copy parts of this image and paste it on another

i changed belgium netherlands west germany champagne

[full raft]

Yeah, select the relevant Region, ctrl + c and then ctrl + v for when you want to paste it

[wintry geode]

how do i select the relevant region?

magic wand?

[full raft]

Most likely you'll want to use the Magic Wand, which tries to select similar regions. Use it with shift and left click will add regions, right click remove. I think. I am not entirely certain of the button combos

[wintry geode]

windows is just awful

can gimp convert faulty pixels?

[full raft]

I don't know what "faulty pixels" are in this Context

[wintry geode]

these ones

that tiny blue on in dunkirk

[full raft]

Right, so how is gimp supposed to know, that that is faulty for your Purposes?
But you can edit singular Pixels with Gimp, so figure out which ones are the wrong colour and correct them manually.

[wintry geode]

is there a way to search for colours by how many pixels they have?

[gentle goblet]

Can anyone teach me to make political advisors and high command advisors. If so please dm me.

[full raft]

Well you can't ignore strat regions or at the very least not without replacing them. Maybe Southern England is some default Strategic Region it scrounged up somewhere, since it found none and desperately wanted one.

[craggy field]

I search and it isn't anywhere else other than in strat regions

[full raft]

The first three are Errors present in the basegame, the other ones pop up defacto randomly and while I have never figured what they are, they seem to not cause Issues.

[craggy field]

hmm

well those are the only errors and the game crahses midway through loading

[full raft]

Yeah, especially Crashes have a tendency to not play nice with error.logs. Refer to the Troubleshooting page on the Wiki. My next suggestions are to enable Debugmode in the Steamsettings, since gives more Info and prevents certain crashes. If that fails to return Valuable Info, the descent into crash.log Data must begin.

[craggy field]

I already have debug on in the steam settings, guess I'm gonna have fun with crash.log

[full raft]

for that you can also activate -crash_data_log
that option makes the game REAL slow, but once it crashes, the last Line of code read is written into the file meta.yml. Roulette on whether that works, but it's an option

[craggy field]

it doesn't give me anything with that on

[full raft]

That seems ... improbable. Like, the meta.yml File is not there or is it empty? It is stored not in the logs folder, but rather the crashes folder

[craggy field]

it's just not there

[full raft]

search the entire documents folder and check whether -crash_data_log is in the Launch Options and properly spelled. I don't believe the game crashes, before ANY lines of code are read. So the only other option is that either the meta.yml is somewhere, the mode isn't on or this Crash has reached a new level of mystical Status

I try to add them but everytime the game just crashes after I do random in state, and just doesn't do it at all if I do it in all states

it also tells me

[13:01:12][1936.01.01.12][mapbuildings.cpp:470]: map/buildings.txt is empty.

[proper acorn]

Ok

[craggy field]

yeah I press the buttons and they appear now

but whenI save it

they don't actually appear

in the buildings.txt file

TL;DR: You create a scripted Effect with a specific Naming Convention and then you can call it via the console.

what is the best mod that changes the german focus tree/add?

[spring juniper]

mimecrafpt

[obtuse condor]

Right

I require a "consult"

someone has basically reuploaded a mod i have created

what is the critea for being able to file a takedown on that page?

[fair lark]

Thatd depend on where it was posted, if its steam fill out the dmca form and wait to be contacted

https://steamcommunity.com/dmca/create/

Do note that it mentions that your legal name may be shared with the person who stole your content tho

So if you havent yet try contacting the person who reuploaded, and then decide what youll do

Hot take: Road to 56 is extremely overrated

[ornate anchor]

To be honest, I never tried RT56 so I cannot critisize your opinion.

[nimble solar]

It is one of the mods of all time.
If you have no DLC it is good, otherwise it is vanilla plus, which is fine.

Playing Germany in R56 was the easiest game I have ever played in hoi4

[ornate anchor]

I have RT56 plus.

[steel knoll]

I agree with that, but it is used SOOOO much, and some of my friends refuse to play other mods or vanilla

[nimble solar]

Vanilla has less tech tree bloat

Also many mods have painful multiplayer

[steel knoll]

I guess so

[ornate anchor]

Does RT56 has Hatay Republic?

[nimble solar]

R56 has 700 base CAS Germany

[ornate anchor]

@summer lotus for your AI mod can you improve the AI trade logic so it values similar ideology and being in faction more than distance? The US still seems to trade primarily with south america as with other countries not trading with their allies.

[summer lotus]

maybe, lemme test it first

trade that requires convoy isn't very easy for the AI to handle

[wicked sapphire]

Virtual Machine.

But it isn't necessary in your case

[summer lotus]

@glass compass aight, I will make an update, it should change some AI trade priority

but I warn you, I have not thoroughly tested it for balancing so it might end up making some Allied countries too strong cuz #apestogetherstrong

hmm, it does look good but the Napoleon texture does not stand out very well due to its background sharing colour of similar tone and temperature, or however people say it in English because I am not one

No request please just make it stop

[magic bay]

Cool but Napoleon needs to pop out more
Or make him bigger idk

[rose heath]

what do you want to be aggressive with these nations? are you implying that you are planning an offensive on them sometime soon?

declining a non-aggression pact should be an instant war declaration
i mean you are signing a non-non-aggression pact which is basically just an aggression pact

is there anything wrong with this?

        textureFile = "gfx/interface/peratives/agencies/agency_logo_CZE.dds"
        noOfFrames = 2    
    }
}```

the "image" exists but does not actually load ingame

[wintry geode]

This will prevent division spamming imo

How do i make a new autonomy level that doesnt want to join wars?

[verbal light]

YEAH I DID IT!, now i have to fork it between achievements allowed and not

is there any way at all to add intelligence agency graphics without upsetting the cheat-detector?

In 1927, a mysterious virus raged through the Americas..The epidemic and the Great Depression led to the collapse of the U.S. government, while in Russia the October Revolution was defeated when Lenin was assassinated by a Jewish racist...In China, a great leader was killed on the eve of the autumn harvest uprising, which led to the severe weakening of the revolutionary forces in China and ushered in a dark age for the whole world....

i need help

i was making a focus tree rework for spain

but when i start the game it shows me the la resistance focus tree

[wide lynx]

show code

[ancient rapids]

it starts with this

[wide lynx]

rename your file to spain.txt

[ancient rapids]

in game it is like this

[ancient rapids]

why

[wide lynx]

so it overwrites the original one

[ancient rapids]

oh

it works like that?

[wide lynx]

yeah

[ancient rapids]

i made it different because different files with same names can cause bugs

[wide lynx]

or you could change that to this:

country = {
  factor = 20
}

[wide lynx]

this will probably work too

[ancient rapids]

btw

in my soviet union mod

i changed the file name again

but it worked

but this time it doesnt

[wide lynx]

if your mods factor is higher then the original one then it will load the one with the higher factor ^

[ancient rapids]

what does that factor do

in game codes i mean

like priority or smt?

[wide lynx]

yeah ig

lmk if it works

[wintry geode]

it didnt work!

Now countries in 1936 cant join factions!

every_country = {
set_rule = { can_join_factions = no }
}
}
}
}

How do i fix this?

[stoic wharf]

can't you just set game rules?

or toolpack

unless you can't be bothered to set those up

[wintry geode]

i want them to not be able to join factions before 1936

im making a mod

[stoic wharf]

whaaa

[wintry geode]

so i need to implement this

[stoic wharf]

start date is 1936 tho

[wintry geode]

i added more scenarios

[stoic wharf]

ah I see

[wintry geode]

want to eventually remove the ability to train new divisions and join factions

and make so those things are only doable with focuses and stuff

my intuition was wrong

there was supposed to be more effects={]

on_actions = {
on_startup = {
effect = {
ITA = {
add_timed_idea = {
idea = ita_hidden_ai_idea
days = 1622
}
}
}
effect = {
if = {
limit = { has_start_date < 1936.1.1 }
}
every_country = {
set_rule = { can_join_factions = no }

How do i fix this so countries can only join factions after 1936?

Hey, I'm having a little problem modding. Dyeing countries via cosmetic file doesn't work for me. The program acts as if new ones are not there at all. Even if I change the colors of an existing cosmetig tag, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what's going on?

[small wigeon]

I would rather build the pyramids from playing cards then play Egypt in millennium dawn

[limber raptor]

but i'd never get to play hoi4 since the pyramid would keep collapsing, i should get those who built them first..

[small wigeon]

You will be in endless loop of debt, every time you pay the debt it comes back with a bigger deficit you are stuck in endless torture

Also Israel pounds your army

Since the game gives them crazy buffs

target = RUS
type = annex_everything
}

}
}

i put this in the russian history/countries file

how do i make so it only declares war on russia and not its puppets?

[wide lynx]

Thanks, do you know where I can get more information on it? The wiki has very little.

[wheat atlas]

Does anyone know how i would go to create a national focus effect like this one?

[pale sparrow]

you make a technology that isnt accessible in the research tree, then grant it in the focus

Only technologies can modify certain unit-specific combat stats

[wheat atlas]

Thank you so much, it worked great

[wintry geode]

is there a way to not do it manually?

putting it in the 500 countries history folders will be tiring tbh

[steep dawn]

Idk i always do it manually

Like you dont need 500 playable countries do you?

hello guys, im looking for mods that let me create my own scenarios (factions, ideologies, formables)
how much time would it take me as a complete noob to modding to learn the basics?
has anyone here experience regarding this topic?
i appreciate every bit of help!

[spring juniper]

does anyone know of the little indie mod called tno

[proper acorn]

1 to 2 months

if you focus on the mod it could be even less

it has to be manually

transfer_state

As you can see for exampel, for a mod, the united Benelux must be white, but it has still the color of Luxemburg

You might also need to unpause and wait a little bit

[wintry geode]

1789.1.1 = {

every_country = {
country_lock_all_division_template = yes

This should work

putting this in a history/countries file

This is modding please keep such requests out of this channel

[wide lynx]

if you want it permanently then you edit the history files, if you want it temporarily, download toolpack without the errors, and use the state managing tool

anyone know if theres a mod that disables alliances?

Hi guys, what's the name of the tool for autodefinition of gfx files?

[timber zenith]

https://github.com/Fuhrerredux/automator/releases/tag/automator-v1.0.0 this thing?

[warm anvil]

How does it work?

[timber zenith]

I haven't used it myself but It should be pretty intuitive

[warm anvil]

Thanks @timber zenith, do you know also other useful tools?

[timber zenith]

https://github.com/captainluckloveslorde/aom2 for focus icon pieces is worth checking out

[warm anvil]

I don't know the tools for modding but more time ago I used The Validator on CK2 and it was really very useful

I remember there was an application to create map and one to create characters in CK2

Is there anything to create leaders with traits for scripted_effect list?

WDYM exactly?

How Many guns are in 1 infrantry?

im trying to implement a division limit system

and i want to now how many guns are required for a division with 8 infantry

[lofty plaza]

No problem bro

[distant moat]

Check the division template designer

[wintry geode]

how do i make so a decision costs 96000 manpower and 9600 guns?

[summer lotus]

custom_cost_trigger = {
has_equipment = { infantry_equipment > 9599}
}

custom_cost_text = decision_cost_tooltip

then in the complete reward, or complete_effect

do hidden_effect = { add_equipment_to_stockpile = -9600 }

same for manpower

[loud oasis]

are there any newer/more modern mods that are significantly harder?
i know about black ice but its so god damn old'

[obtuse condor]

how to change main menu music

i've searched all over the youtube couldnt find any information

[grim laurel]

how do I increase the AI desire to attack?

like on the planning thing

so the ai attacks like crazy non-stop

[wintry geode]

thats a faux trigger?

one of those localisation triggers

that are used for formables

[grim laurel]

actually

how do I change the stats that make the ai attack

or not

[wintry geode]

great it works

how do i make so the decision takes 365 days to complete?

How do i make so you have to press it for it to happen?

i want it to take 60 days for the effects to take place

and for the requirments to be met

[obtuse condor]

wow

the mod looks rrly nice

[wintry geode]

thanks

im trying to make the mod nice imo

i now have a small mod team

that helps me too

[obtuse condor]

is there any way i could spectate on ur mod progress

[wintry geode]

i got a link for the discord in my profil

how do i make so you get the effects when the timer is over?

[trail mantle]

is there a way to close the brackets? I am making a focus tree and the focus bracket will not close no matter what, making it so everything after it wont work.

[grim laurel]

how do I modify the ai attack desire

like can I make the AI always see that it can attack? while it actually cant

how to make a modifier to make the AI attack more

[timber zenith]

looks like a focus before that one is broken

[trail mantle]

its the first focus

[timber zenith]

could you show the whole file?

[trail mantle]

i already redid it and it works now, but all it was is the focus tree id and requirements to unlock the focus tree, and then the actual focus

[wintry geode]

add_equipment_to_stockpile = {
type = infantry_equipment
amount = -9600
producer = root
}

is it valid to make it root?

Do you all have any recommendations for cheat menu mods?

do u have any other recommendations for hoi4 mods that arent kaiserreich, OWB and the great war redux?

[proper acorn]

the new order, end of a new beggining, milleniun dawn, kaiserredux, road to 56 and europe in flames AGORA

[loud oasis]

which of these run the best?

[proper acorn]

road to 56, europe in flames agora and kaiserredux

[wintry geode]

secondary powers should be a thing in hoi4 imo

i am trying to make a focus which is going to cause portugal to join the spanish civil war on nationalist side

in my mod, spanish civil war pops up in 2 sides(republican and nationalist) and stays like that

and i want portugal to declare war to republican spain

cant do that

because republican spain's tag changes depending on the game(it sometimes is d04 sometimes d05)

[lost tendon]

in vanilla Spain's tag is always hard coded and reserved

[ancient rapids]

it depends on the side you pic

when i pick the nationalist side, its tag is spr

when i pick the republican, its tag is spr

[lost tendon]

ye but for the other side it's always hard coded in the vanilla

now, I dont know how to do it but I believe u will from what u know rn

[ancient rapids]

will try smt

[lost tendon]

basically modding

question to modders, any reason why this should happen?
