Guys how can I change the color of the country of British Malaysia in Road to 56? Pls guys i've been asking since yesterday.

[austere lance]

How can I change the color of British Malaya without it changing it's flag?

guys?

bro is any here who can help me?

[timber zenith]

changing the colour changes the country's cosmetic tag. since the flag is also being set by a different cosmetic tag, changing the colour will remove the flag

you could alternatively use the color 255 255 255 console command

[austere lance]

alr I will try

[austere lance]

I tried but did nothing

[timber zenith]

wait it's tag_color

[austere lance]

ok

[austere lance]

yep it works thx

is it permament tho?

[timber zenith]

I'm not too sure

[austere lance]

thats alr

i want hungary to move their capital to vienna once austria-hungary is formed

[lost tendon]

set capital doesnt work?

[chilly field]

yeah, it doesnt do anything when i test the focus, its like the game ignores it

[lost tendon]

try capital = 4

[chilly field]

ok

no

doesnt work

[lost tendon]

well I thought it might since this is how its set in history

[chilly field]

[lost tendon]

[summer lotus]

hmm

🤔

this is what I use in my mod

[chilly field]

shit i got it in the wrong place

i need to put it under hidden effect

[summer lotus]

eh no

I think it works either way

probably a different problem here

[chilly field]

dang

[chilly field]

you got any ideas on why its not working?

[summer lotus]

dunno

[chilly field]

holy shit

it was indentation istg

i hate indentation its so picky

[lost tendon]

any idea why this doesnt work?

[chilly field]

bring it in

its not indented properly

[lost tendon]

what does that mean?

there aint no way the problem is in indentation

Could someone redo the "Colorize your Country" mod?

[dusky berry]

guys

how to tell which mod is compatible with ironman

[lost tendon]

usually mod description tells if thats the case

[radiant oracle]

add_core_of = SAS*

[lost tendon]

will check if it works

this doesnt work either

[chilly field]

You see the dotted lines?

[lost tendon]

oh they are a problem?

[chilly field]

Nah, The “limit” line has to be further inward than the line above as that’s what it’s referring to

[lost tendon]

this worked for me

[chilly field]

Yeah that’s right

[lost tendon]

does this matter?

[chilly field]

Yeah

[lost tendon]

oh uh

well ig I am still learning

[west wadi]

Yo guys, can someone help me with this:

Why is the capital like this? Ploiesti has 1 victory point while Bucharest has 40, shouldn't the capital be Bucharest since the higher victory points?

[zealous badge]

It might've been replaced after a civil war? Only explanation I can think of

[quasi chasm]

anypne know if its a mod that lets you buy provinces with money or is it actually a dlc? saw it on youtube

[wintry geode]

you didnt add a state did you?

[west wadi]

Yeah i did, i made Bucharest its own state, but i figured it was something from the history folder

[west wadi]

It might be a mod, cause that's no such dlc.

[wintry geode]

you need to make bucharest the capital in the romanian history/countries file

[west wadi]

I don't have the countries file on my mod since its a mode purely for states, so i assume its from the history files

Or do i also need to copy the countries file from the main game?

[wintry geode]

you need the countries file

or change the states

so its muntenia which is the new state

[west wadi]

So i'll just do a quick change in the code

Hi, the BBA dlc breaks my mod in gfx for units_planes, I took some 3D planes models from anothers dlc but reskin. Everything works fine without BBA but when I activate it only the base skins appear, for example "MEX_light/medium/heavy_plane_entity". In the most recent TOA dlc, in the BRA_units_planes.asset they used an entity clone to modify the post BBA tags, but I already tried the method without success. I would appreciate your help:)

[dusky berry]

guys if I got a mod that's compatible with achievements if I host multiplayer game do other players get the mods temporarily too?

like for example colored buttons

[ripe gorge]

no all players should join a lobby with the same game mods
client side mods (which i assume coloured buttons is) are applied locally to your game only.

[dusky berry]

why

I remember joining some random mp

and getting the coloured buttons

even tho I didn't install them

[ripe gorge]

did you have any mods enabled?

[valid apex]

Did you turn off rle compress

[signal tangle]

rle compress?

[valid apex]

When you save the flag (for example in paint.net), you choose "save as" and pick .tga on the top left of the screen there will be something call rle compress turn it off

[celest flower]

Hi I have a strange problem... Or maybe I just misunderstand how it actually does work. So I want this category to be visible if you've completed the focus and your are democratic or if you have that global flag and you're democratic. For some reason the game just doesn't care and whatever I try the category is visible if you become democratic ingoring the aditional conditions.

The flag is set via the option of the event

[wicked sapphire]

I'm thinking of modding the game to change the German situation into a "Roehm leads Germany" situation. Anyone interested?

[stoic wharf]

what's a Roehm 🗿

also yes

[wicked sapphire]

Ernst Roehm (should be Rohm with ulemut O but can't type it rn), head of SA, died in Night of Long Knives in 1934 by Hitler ofc

Power struggle

[stoic wharf]

how can we mod someone that's already dead

[wicked sapphire]

Alt-hist ofc

[stoic wharf]

take it that my Germany mod also has Sheev Palpatine easter egg but ok

[wicked sapphire]

What Roehm killed Hitler earlier?

[stoic wharf]

so like he's somehow alive in this timeline

[wicked sapphire]

He;s gay and also a socailaist sector of the Nazi Party

[stoic wharf]

what if we have an event that says he somehow magically reappeared

[wicked sapphire]

Yep

[wicked sapphire]

Nah, I'm thinking KR like stuff

Like he survives that situation and leads Germany

[stoic wharf]

yes I have heard there were many homosexuals in the party so

[wicked sapphire]

the PoD would be 1934

[wicked sapphire]

Not really

Because of him, gay ppl are put into concentration camps

[stoic wharf]

that means we create an entirely new scenario?

[wicked sapphire]

Also the whole nation is very homophobic

[wicked sapphire]

Yes

[stoic wharf]

I think I can manage that with a bit of studying

do you have modding experience?

[wicked sapphire]

Nawt really

[stoic wharf]

what have you modded

also haven't we talked before

@wicked sapphire stop switching tabs immediately!

[wicked sapphire]

Nothing bascially

[stoic wharf]

wouldn't want to ping reply every time

[wicked sapphire]

Switch what tab

[stoic wharf]

as in, doing some other shizz

[wicked sapphire]

We did talk before??

Not really

[stoic wharf]

okay so I assume you just have read a lot of stuff about this topic

[wicked sapphire]

Yep

A few tutorials maybe

[stoic wharf]

tutorials but nothing modded?

lol

[wicked sapphire]

Yeah

[stoic wharf]

I have good memory, I can recall what we talked about

[wicked sapphire]

What did we talk about

[stoic wharf]

it was some stereotype about weebs having no jobs

and that you have a job

the pfp gave it away

but anywho

what would you want in this mod

also, don't other popular mods have alt Germany covered?

like that one 1933 mod

or RoN

[wicked sapphire]

Oh yeash

I recall mentioning that I am a teaching assistant

[stoic wharf]

yes yes now you rember

[wicked sapphire]

Hmm yeah, but none of them really does this scenario

I prepare to call it Volksreich, using the Something-reich series

VR means Peoples' Empire

[grim laurel]

but like where

[stoic wharf]

do you expect it to be a big mod or just some Germany exclusive content alt-hist

[wicked sapphire]

If we have a team I must make it big but if it's Just the Two of Us...

We can make it if we try

[stoic wharf]

I wouldn't really be interested in this alt-hist scenario since I don't know much about it

would you explain it further on how it would work

[stoic wharf]

ah yes, my team of one other person (who also has no modding experience and only does research)

[wicked sapphire]

Heh

[stoic wharf]

and graphic design too

[wicked sapphire]

I love graphic design but suck

[stoic wharf]

my one problem is implementing it into the 1936 start date

that would mean new focus tree, new flag, new flavor

no SS recruitment which I worked so hard on

[wicked sapphire]

Simply, the guy we talkin abt is the head of SA, the Sturmabeilung, aka Stormtroopers

[stoic wharf]

that's a Star Wars reference!

that's so kewl!

[wicked sapphire]

He was purged by Hitler himself since Roehm was:

1. gay
2. leftist
3. powerful

[stoic wharf]

Sturmabteilung 😡

[wicked sapphire]

Sooooo... he died

[wicked sapphire]

yeah the t

Forgor

But what if he killed Hitler?

[stoic wharf]

what if he just didn't die

[wicked sapphire]

The SS would certainly revolt and we can assume there will be a civil war

[wicked sapphire]

What if he caught wind and acted pre-emptively

[stoic wharf]

him killing Hitler would be a difficult and rather unrealistic scenario 🤔

[wicked sapphire]

Not really

He's in the highest circle

[stoic wharf]

okay okay I'll hear you out

[wicked sapphire]

And he practically led an army

So it's as realistic as the Oppose Hitler path

[stoic wharf]

bro led an army like Loras Tyrell

only my GoT bros will get it

[wicked sapphire]

If he assassinated Hitler we can assume a civil war

With a more-like-red Nazi Germany

[stoic wharf]

would it be devastating or just some like

paramilitary fighting

[wicked sapphire]

Very devastating

[stoic wharf]

people boom boom in streets but the countryside is quiet

[wicked sapphire]

Basically SA vs SS

[stoic wharf]

okay not what I was expecting

[wicked sapphire]

vs Wehrmacht which probably doesn't want Nazis anymore

Three way civil war I'd say

From which the SA faction emerged victorious

[stoic wharf]

should I watch Mark Felton video about this 🤔

[stoic wharf]

how would they beat a small but professional Wehrmacht

[wicked sapphire]

Felton did make a vid?

[stoic wharf]

with loyal generals like the uber powerful and mastermind Erich von Manstein!

[stoic wharf]

he made videos about 1930s German politics a few years back

[wicked sapphire]

Let's say the Wehrmacht split some stood by the SA and the other SS

[stoic wharf]

okay okay I gotchu

continue

then what

this Rohm guy takes over

does he do the same stuff as Hitler did?

[wicked sapphire]

Nope

He's more radical

Leftists

I assume he will make it "An Equal Germany above the World"

Socialists

But he might also be irredentist

[stoic wharf]

I dunno about this left and right bull💩

so like he was left-handed!?

[wicked sapphire]

Nope

He's socialist, I should put it

Radical

[stoic wharf]

okay that makes more sense

whenever I see someone talk about left or right

I think of prefered hand in writing lmao

[stoic wharf]

would that lead to WW2? if not then uhhh abandon ship!

[wicked sapphire]

Maybe

Berlin-Moscow Axis maybe

That would become WWII

or Berlin vs Moscow

Actually, I think Anschluss would happen too

[stoic wharf]

ugh why can't I swear here 😡

[wicked sapphire]

But maybe not Sudetenland - instead it would be Danzig first

[stoic wharf]

cursed, absolutely facking cursed

[wicked sapphire]

Not really

It's just Comintern 2.0

[stoic wharf]

how would him taking over Germany lead to WW2

[wicked sapphire]

Um, just like OTL?

It's still Nazi

[stoic wharf]

what's an OTL

[wicked sapphire]

Albeit with Socialist Elements

[wicked sapphire]

original timeline

[stoic wharf]

okay so it's Hitler but with a different face

[wicked sapphire]

And more commie

[stoic wharf]

name, body, identity

[wicked sapphire]

Less Nazi

[stoic wharf]

that is somehow more boring than irl Germany

no Great Patriotic War?

[wicked sapphire]

No great Patriotic War

Spread of Communism more like

[stoic wharf]

no Stalingrad 😢

then what?

Germany invades Poland, rushes France

what's next?

[wicked sapphire]

USSR takes the southern Slavics

The Allies composes of Britain, France and Italy

Italy is broke thru and dies

African front? No African front

Then Nordics are swayed with probably becoming Commie and Denmark surrendering

The Finland partitioned between Sweden and USSR

America may or may not join

But Britain probably surrenders promptly before anything could hapen

And then, Cold War. woohoo!

[stoic wharf]

absolutely cursed timeline

so cursed

why would Finland be partitioned lol

Soviets wanted all of Finland

I think it would be a fun timeline if executed properly

with good mechanics and a good focus tree

if you could provide for them a focus path, I'd take a shot at it

[wicked sapphire]

Hmmm cool

I'm thinking Roehm would be more "wholesome" at least to the Jews

Hi guys, I need to generate a sprite sheet but the plug-in I installed in Photoshop crashes due to the high number of frames and their size and I think due to the low computing power of my PC.

The crash is usually in the last few lines, or the crash log isnt useful

However you have many errors that should probably be fixed regardless if they fix the crash, so might as well work through them

nothing else except GIMP for my basic texture edits and menu designing

[raven wedge]

Hi everyone. How can I create new states? I was doing everything according to that one tutorial yet my game crashes on loading checksum

[pale sparrow]

you can manually create new files and pull cut->paste provinces into them and it should work with new saves

[raven wedge]

For example, I can just create new file named ''904-Nowy Sazc'', and then just put/remove the data I need in the file? Becuase I was usuing nudge tool

[pale sparrow]

Nudge is convenient at times, but its hard to know mistakes

Id only use it for unitstacks
Unless you wanna make many states, then you can use it and fix issues like this after

[raven wedge]

Thank you very much. I'll remember your advice

didn't this release last month

[plush quail]

my friend and i am trying to play together but it says host has another version of the game even though it worked a day ago we both didnt change anything

[hazy palm]

@spring juniper no on the workshop page it says it was released yesterday

[edgy solar]

it was updated yesterday but released on the 18th of June

[spring juniper]

isn't this the new fuhrereich or weltenreich or something

i'm sure i've seen this mod

[hazy palm]

idk on the workshop page it says posted on july 8th

oh shit im stupid it was posted in june

my bad

[bright nova]

that was a private release, the workshop item only became public on 4th of july, hell they only announced the release on 20th of june

anyways, reason why im here, i was wondering if someone could help with my scripting as atm im getting a very uncommon error and ive been unable to recieve help in all of the modder run modding servers so i figured i might as well ask the pdx devs themselves

i have a nested gridbox where im fetching the entry container used via scripted localisation (first try was making a new namespace, currently experimenting with just fetching the var value directly into the entry container)

dynamic_lists = {
    SOV_the_red_vanguard_dummy_gridbox = {
        array = red_vanguard_dummy_single_element_array
        entry_container = "SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_[?red_vanguard_target_countries^num]"
        #entry_container = "[GetRedVanguardGUIWindow]"  # prior attempt
    }
    SOV_the_red_vanguard_countries_gridbox = {
        array = red_vanguard_target_countries
        entry_container = SOV_the_red_vanguard_country_entry_window
        value = RV_current_country
        change_scope = yes
    }
}

[edgy solar]

My bad, I only said what I saw at a first glance

[bright nova]

however i keep on getting the LastRead: memfile (3) error

[bright nova]

alternatively if i try and fetch the array via a new scripted loc namespace i get the following error

LastRead: memfile (3)
LastScript: common/scripted_localisation/SOV_scripted_localisation.txt:345: check_variable

but its unhelpful af

as its not the specific line thats the issue clearly as the lastscript changes depending on the # of elements in the array which im checking

defined_text = {
    name = GetRedVanguardGUIWindow
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { red_vanguard_target_countries^num = 1 }    # lastread is this line (327) if theres one element in the array
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_1
    }
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { red_vanguard_target_countries^num = 2 }    # lastread is this line (333) if theres two element in the array
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_2
    }
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { red_vanguard_target_countries^num = 3 }    # lastread is this line (339) if theres three element in the array
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_3
    }
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { red_vanguard_target_countries^num = 4 }    # lastread is this line (345) if theres four element in the array
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_4
    }
    text = {
        localization_key = ""
    }
}

and since it was a memfile issue my initial thought would be that itd be a meta trigger/effect error which is why i initially thought it was this but this has zero effect and the log isnt in the game.log whichd lead me to believe that it has nothing to do with this and is an issue with the entry container or smth

defined_text = {
    name = GetRedVanguardButtonState
    text = {
        trigger = {
            log = "Button State Fetched"
            meta_trigger = {
                text = {
                    has_country_flag = SOV_RV_selected_country_[FETCH_TAG]
                }
                FETCH_TAG = "[?RV_current_target.GetTag]"
            }
        }
        localization_key = "GFX_SOV_RV_[?RV_current_country.GetTag]_selected_bg"
    }
    text = {
        localization_key = "GFX_SOV_RV_ITA_unselected_bg"
    }
}

but afaik its all to code

from what ik from other programming languages like python id guess its an issue with the array? but its not a large one, its just an array of 4 tags which is like nothing lol

A memory error occurs when a program tries to allocate more memory than the system can provide. This can happen when a program tries to store too much data in memory or when a program creates too many objects . . . This error usually occurs when a program attempts to generate a massive data structure, such as a list or dictionary, or when it creates little objects continuously until the available memory is consumed.

other stuff ive tried has been this

defined_text = {
    name = GetRedVanguardGUIWindow
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { red_vanguard_target_countries^num < 2 }
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_1
    }
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { red_vanguard_target_countries^num < 3 }
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_2
    }
    # etc...
}

and this

defined_text = {
    name = GetRedVanguardGUIWindow
    text = {
        trigger = {
            set_temp_variable = { temp_var = red_vanguard_target_countries^num }
            check_variable = { temp_var < 2 }
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_1
    }
    text = {
        trigger = {
            set_temp_variable = { temp_var = red_vanguard_target_countries^num }
            check_variable = { temp_var < 3 }
        }
        localization_key = SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_2
    }
    # etc...
}

and this...

entry_container = "SOV_the_Red_Vanguard_decision_gui_inner_[?red_vanguard_target_countries^num]"
#entry_container = "[ROOT.GetRedVanguardGUIWindow]"  # ROOT was prob redundant since THIS and ROOT refer to the same tag since its a decision_category context type but i wanted to confirm that it wasnt a scoping error

if more info is needed feel free to ask

id upload the whole mod but its a large total overhaul and leaking the git would not be taken lightly lol

I'm creating a new mod.
There will be probably other developers helping me.
Two questions:

1. If i want to share the code with other developers and improve developing speed do I need to use Github?
2. If I want to ask someone to act as tester, how do I give them the dev version of a certain mod? (I don't want to put that version on steam)

[lyric arch]

I found D-6 under Moscow

Anyway this is the mod its based on Metro 2033

Also, If I want to make two modulo incompatiable, how do I do that?

i cant install the mods

from steam to paradox

guys plz help

[obtuse condor]

You should download straight into the hearts of iron paradox launcher when you subscribe to the mod

[twilit ravine]

do you know how to download mods

[timber zenith]

Github is highly recommended. You can put a version on steam but have it listed as private

[spiral ember]

anyone can help me with localisation of my mod?
i tried to name a country in russian but the name doesnt appear
if you need other screenshots, i can send them

[timber zenith]

The localisation file needs to be in a "russian" folder, so like \localisation\russian\countries_l_russian.yml

[spiral ember]

it is even worse, every other country’s name disappeared

[pale bridge]

set encoding to be utf8bom and another thing to be lf

[spiral ember]

already utf-8-bom

[pale bridge]

you can just copy file from base game if that works for you

[timber zenith]

Keeping the vanilla file name means it's going to override the vanilla file

you'll have to change the name

[pale bridge]

its also doesnt have to be in language folder it just has to be in localisation

other is just your preference

[spiral ember]

like “1countries_l_russian.yml”?

[timber zenith]

if you want to

[spiral ember]

changed the name, the original problem is still there

[spiral ember]

also i tried copying everything from vanilla file and naming my localisation file “countries_l_russian.yml”, it didnt help

[timber zenith]

Is the name just invisible?

[spiral ember]

the space, where the name has to be is blank

[timber zenith]

If you change the file name to english and put it in the english loc folder, does it work?

[spiral ember]

No

it doesnt work

[timber zenith]

Did the encoding reset to something else after you changed the file name?

[spiral ember]

it didnt

[wicked gale]

How to put it as private?

[spiral ember]

i fixed that issue

[timber zenith]

what was the cause?

[timber zenith]

On the workshop page under "owner controls", there is a change visibility dropdown

[wintry geode]

enable_equipment_modules = {

didn't work

Anybody know a good mode similar to Old World Blues. Im trying to turn my game into something else then Real Life if you get my flow. Im not intrested in Kaiserreich, and mods like that. Im trying to get a new fun map! Also i tried the Equestria thingy, not my boat!😂

[summer lotus]

cuz it doesn't

unfortunately, enable_equipment_modules is not considered an effect

[proven sable]

Yer figures. Didn't see any option in a list of effects on the wiki, is it just impossible?

[summer lotus]

without a roundabout way? yeah, impossible unless you work on the actual codes

[proven sable]

That's unfortunate, thanks for confirming tho

Guess I'll either add a hidden tech for it or just create a variant for it from the focus like Japan with the zero.

[summer lotus]

usually it is either you use country_flag and hidden_effect to hide it, or you use prerequisites = focus to lock a researchable tech

[proven sable]

Yer

Saw it for stuff like Hungarian light infantry

Could you make a division limit with this?

instead of with manpower

[summer lotus]

yes

When people transform irl maps to hoi4 (like the cold war mod or ww1 mod) how do they do it

Do they just do it by hand? Isnt it really hard to make an accurate map that way?

[timber zenith]

vanilla hoi4 already has the necessary provinces to make a cold war or WW1 map. it's just about modifying states slightly. but even that is mostly done already

[timber zenith]

play without the tech tree mod

[hollow sorrel]

The game crashed.

[timber zenith]

what mods are you launching with?

[hollow sorrel]

FPS map and millenium dawn only.

[timber zenith]

when did it crash?

at the loading screen, or main menu?

[hollow sorrel]

Loading screen.

[timber zenith]

did it freeze, or did it straight up crash on its own?

[hollow sorrel]

It just crash.

[timber zenith]

so no freeze or not responding message?

[hollow sorrel]

Oh there responsing messege about unexpected error and crash.

[timber zenith]

could you send a screenshot?

[hollow sorrel]

Ok wait

[hollow sorrel]

The screen goes black when it's on loading screen now.

[timber zenith]

You'll have to wait a while md takes a while to load

[hollow sorrel]

Not that the screen goes black then I am out of the game.

Or because my laptop is potato 💀

That's possible, but i'm not too sure unfortunately

thought it would be enough

no bias at all

I was being a fool and had load oob at the top of my focus rather than in completion rewards

The worst part about learning to mod is spending an hour staring at a screen trying to work out why it doesn't work and then feeling like an idiot when you eventually work it out

I'm making a game balance for my MP group so we keep finding broken stuff during our games and I get blamed :(.

Heyy

Can sombody help me

My mods are crashing

After i play for like 5to 10 minutes

You have incompatible mods, figure out which ones are conflicting if you can.

Map Mods Conflicts are the most likely.,

[eternal dagger]

so i have a question

would any modder here like to join a project of mine

[obtuse condor]

heyooo, i also require assistance with submodding a submodd

[pastel coyote]

did rt56 update the romanian tech tree?

it automatically swapped me to the modded one
i want my free faction switches back

[obtuse condor]

i would like to basically cut part of a focus tree from one nation and just slap it into another

[manic dagger]

yes

[timber zenith]

5 speed will always be choppy, nothing you can do about that

5 speed makes the game as fast as possible with no regard to framerate

it's still choppy on my 7900xt

[timber zenith]

you can Ctrl c+Ctrl v the relevant focuses in one nations focus file to the other's. You may have to change all the nation prefixes but replace all in notepad++ makes that easy

should I ping moderation for scam msgs like that?

[solemn jolt]

just wanted to share that i have just spent 5 hours trying to get get a national spirits picture to work and just figured out it was because it said idea_ infront of it

[snow spire]

hey it just started with all this is it possible to choose the other paths (mod is the new order)

[proven sable]

Question for experienced modders, do you ever git gud or do you still find yourself confused why something isn't working and googling syntax.

They dont get their army...

i need to make a second event that gives them an army for petes sake

[nimble solar]

Intentionally no

It is to simulate that the Nixon Administration already made choices

[untold thicket]

Does anyone have a list of good UI/QOL/Visual mods that are ideally ironman compatitlbe (its fine if it isn't)

I think stuff like RT56 stray too far from vanilla and that HOI4 kinda sucks when it comes to UI and micromanaging esp for stuff like unit management + sorting planes, etc

[upper badge]

Is this template too OP for a rebellion division?

[timber zenith]

I wouldn't say so

but it might be hard for them to get enough artillery to maintain those divisions since they wouldn't have a military factory base

if i'm interpreting rebellion right

[wide lynx]

What's this area called in the interface folder?

[manic dagger]

yep

[lofty plaza]

You need to load the oob after they get the state

So just swap it around so it gives the state first then it should work

[wicked gale]

So, I'm making a map of Italy and a bit of surroundings, which size should I make it?
Also I checked Paint's sizes and some exceeded the borders I could draw, there is a better app to draw the map or is Paint good too?

Basically I'm downloading maps from the Internet and copying their borders

[proven sable]

How do I add buildings at game start? Didn't see an option on nudge

[digital cloak]

[timber zenith]

sorry i can't help you with that

[bright crane]

ah

[wicked gale]

So to make an hoi4 map I have to

1. Use Gimp
2. Draw the many layers
3. Import everything on MapGen
   Right?

@timber zenith also if I want to make a precise map, where do I find a photo that I could use to draw the map

[timber zenith]

is mapgen even updated?

i dunno if it'll work

[wicked gale]

Why?

I downloaded the github version

[timber zenith]

can you send a link?

[wicked gale]

It is the 2.2 version

[timber zenith]

hasn't been updated since 2018

[wicked gale]

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=http://bit.ly/MapGen_V2_2&ved=2ahUKEwju3qmg2KmHAxWW_rsIHQlECRwQFnoECBYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3iO5JxxLlVXmoM_rEbCru9

Should be this bit/ly

[wicked gale]

Which problems does it give?

[timber zenith]

every problem

[wicked gale]

💀

[timber zenith]

by hand

[wicked gale]

How....

I never made a map until now

I thought mapgen was the most reliable instrument because of yt videos

[timber zenith]

if you haven't done map modding before i wouldn't suggest starting with something of such a large scale

[wicked gale]

But how to do map modding

That's the point

[timber zenith]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3261305586) try this firstly

for a full tutorial youd have to pay me

because it would take too long

[wicked gale]

I just need to know where to paint the map

[timber zenith]

provinces.bmp

[wicked gale]

No, to make a new map which program would I need to use to paint it

If paint is not good

What should I use

[timber zenith]

photoshop or gimp

[wicked gale]

The colors that I'll use for the terrain etc are the same for MapGen?

[ashen mural]

Is rise of nations a good mod?

[lofty plaza]

Photoshop doesn't work, use gimp

[neat turret]

xd

pay

for smth to learn hoi4 modding

[neat turret]

maybe u know but when i open rivers.bmp by gimp i have warning about wrong format file bmp

[lofty plaza]

You gotta like export it

Not save

[neat turret]

but this warning is when i open a rivers.bmp from

windows explo

oh better, i can't open this file with gimp

with paint and paint.net i can but crashing

and i don't have photoshop

[obtuse condor]

i need help coding my first mod

[soft geyser]

does anyone know if there's a mod like millenial dawn but without the money system? like modern day with only the focuses and decisions, nothing else

[lofty plaza]

There is Millennium Dawn classic

[simple crater]

Yo I am trying to launch a misile in milenium dawn but it does not let me select a launching point

Like I don't have the button that I need to press to select the silo to launch from

[wintry geode]

Haiti and the Kingdom of France joined the 1st coalition?

country_event = {
id = fra_1789_event.10
title = "The War in the Vendée"
desc = fra_1789_event.10.d
picture = GFX_idi_amin_india
is_triggered_only = yes
fire_only_once = yes
option = { #
name = "Declare war on the Vendée"
ai_chance = { factor = 100 }
VND={
declare_war_on = {
target = FRA
type = annex_everything
}
}
}
}

I put nothing in the code that makes either join a faction

and i disabled the ability to join factions without a decision/focus/event

[quasi stag]

Anybody know a lite-r version of mappa mundi? It crashed my 8gb laptop lmao

[soft geyser]

Thanks, I wanted to play a modern day mod that wouldn't fry both my PC and my brain for a while now

[lofty plaza]

Fair enough

[ornate pebble]

what's with the surge of Millennium Dawn mods all of a sudden? Not that I'm complaining

[vocal patio]

Кто тут шарит в моддинге?
А то я хз как, но редактируя мод, я как то смог затронуть и ваниль игру

[obtuse condor]

Is there a some sort of database/collection to download custom focus icons, technology icons etc? I would like to avoid editing each one myself or taking from other mods.

[wicked gale]

I found all the info I needed on the paradox wiki, without paying anyone

[timber zenith]

it works fine for me, wdym?

[bleak thistle]

Meh

[violet ravine]

is there a mod to ssplit armies into 24 div groups

[wide lynx]

wip icons for focus tree

[violet ravine]

i am making a map mod, is there a fast way to test a lot of settings without having to restart game again and again]

[high hatch]

Hi. It is possible to put a flag for a sub_ideology like despotism? I know in localization, we can do that, but for the flag, I put TAG_despotism but it take the TAG_neutrality flag instead.

[soft geyser]

that looks like age of history 3 research

well KIND of

[proven sable]

Is there any way to add priorities to any_of = {}

[timber zenith]

what kind of settings

[timber zenith]

No, as it's the leader that has the subideology not the country

You could do it if you set up something like

set_cosmetic_tag = TAG_despotism

would change the cosmetic tag (which would include the flag you set up)

[wintry geode]

trigger = {
original_tag = POL
date > 1794.1.1 date < 1799.1.1
or = {
POL = {surrender_progress > 0.1 }
has_war_with = PRE
RUS={controls_state = 206}
}
}

[timber zenith]

You could automate that by setting up a series of on actions, potentially using the on_government_change trigger(?) however I can't guarantee that would work

[wintry geode]

Why isnt the event triggering?

[timber zenith]

It might be more consistent if you use the on_state_control_changed on action

i always have issues with events triggers not triggering

oh do you have it set to is_triggered_only = yes?

[worthy hedge]

bro, sorry, maybe the question is off topic, but didn’t you think it was too big for the 18th century? I would make the city bigger in size to write in the era

[wintry geode]

What are you talking about

what city

[worthy hedge]

about which provinces, they are too small

Bruh, Google translator translated the provinces as cities,

[obtuse condor]

how do I get rid of these errors? I don't own the dlc for those countries

[violet ravine]

whats the modifier to make these borders thin

[late vector]

when you are creating lots of new leaders, does it make more sense to create separate interface.gfx files for each country or to keep them all in a single file?

[pale sparrow]

single file but cluster them

[fossil cradle]

Hi. Somebody knows how to make text in a button pink? Like, add a costum color?

[late vector]

i think you put this symbol at the beggining and end of your quote

inside the quotation marks

§

but

you add a "P" after the first symbol

to indicate that its pink

i think this is how it works but im not sure im still an amateur

[late vector]

in the localization file i forgot to mention

[fossil cradle]

doesnt work

[late vector]

hm

maybe pink doesnt exist as a possible color

im gonna try if yellow or red works

well yellow does work

idk tbh maybe you mix up the colors or sum?

[azure fossil]

Hi! New to HOI4, and I'm looking for a mod to make it even better (imo)

I've seen all the modern overhaul mods, but they start you in that modern age.

What I'd like, and what I'm hoping is out there, is a mod that allows me to start the game normally, but continue into the 80s, 90s, 00s, and so on. A true alternate history course that you somewhat control the path of the whole way.

Would such a mod exist? With tech, buildings, events?

[late vector]

Rise of Nations

but its broken af and hardly playable

iron curtain is good for the cold war era but its unfinished as well

and RT56 has some good postwar content

[azure fossil]

Ugh, but that workshop page looks so promising. That's almost exactly what I'm after, brownie points for allowing me to start pre-WW2 era, too!

[late vector]

the thing is i can guess why such a mod has never been made

its because of power creep mostly

[azure fossil]

I've seen RT56, but it also seems like an abrupt end to such an interesting concept that is alternate history.

Power creep, like, the eventual global domination of a single country?

[late vector]

maybe you would like the great war redux, its ww1 and into 1922 ish

[late vector]

theres also that

but power creep is

when like

lets imagine you set the attack value of a division at 10, and defense at 10 also, as the player researches new technologies, you would have to up those stats to ridiculous amounts after like 3-4 decades of ingame time

and also you would have to constantly add new building slots to allow players to keep on expanding

and also there is that thing you mentioned where eventually a nation will snowball into an unstoppable force

[azure fossil]

I suppose I'm used to stellaris, where those ridiculous amounts do happen, relatively speaking.

[late vector]

really? ive never played stellaris so

[azure fossil]

It absolutely gives you so much more content beyond the "finish line", making sense to keep playing, and snowball into a galactic influence or dominator.

Which, is what I wish hoi4 did.

Even if they were vague nameless events

[late vector]

i guess it would be cool, but like would you personally play a hoi4 game for THAT long?

[azure fossil]

yes

[late vector]

i personally get bored and start a new save after some years

literally the most ive played was till 1951

[azure fossil]

Rebellions you'd have to quell, and at the point where I literally couldn't do anything anymore, I'd take the setup of my nation, and recreate it in Stellaris, and keep going

Thats how I want to play hoi4

[late vector]

yeah you can do mega campaigns which are cool

oh this is the modding channel lol

i forgot

[azure fossil]

Well! It's still on topic regarding a mod I'm looking for.

Something that extends hoi4, but allows me to start in history, still.

[late vector]

im curious about this as well does anyone know how to freely put any color on text?

[molten lynx]

hello, i was wondeirng what the current state of hoi4 modding is? has any official modding tools been rleased or is everything still jsut editing text and image documents?

last looked at how this game is modded a few years ago and eventually lost interest

[summer lotus]

still the usual surface editing
