You have to make the animation in goals_shine.gfx. Here's how you can do it:

effectFile = "gfx/FX/buttonstate.lua"

animationtexturefile = "gfx/interface/goals/shine_overlay.dds" # <- the animated file
animationrotation = -90.0 # -90 clockwise 90 counterclockwise(by default)
animationlooping = no # yes or no ;)
animationtime = 0.75 # in seconds
animationdelay = 0 # in seconds
animationblendmode = "add" #add, multiply, overlay
animationtype = "scrolling" #scrolling, rotating, pulsing
animationrotationoffset = { x = 0.0 y = 0.0 }

animationmaskfile = "gfx/interface/goals/name_of_your_icon.dds"

There's definitely no way to disable equipment once you've researched it right. I mean I guess I could just remove the localisation for the original.

Looking for Hoi4 mod that Micromanages or remakes the military command?
jade roost
Looking for Hoi4 mod that Micromanages or remakes the military command?
you want one general to be assigned to one divisions at max
thats like the opposite of a quality of life feature
just pretend the divisions are battilions
jade roost
its just one thicc line
storm hull
just pretend the divisions are battilions
😭😭😭
storm hull
thats like the opposite of a quality of life feature
ik
and I wanna micromanage at best
wait wait
storm hull
thats like the opposite of a quality of life feature
its more or less a revamp
jade roost
more or less making the game harder
storm hull
more or less making the game harder
ik
jade roost
well just making it more of a clicking simulator
jade roost
so instead of creating generals you create field marshalls?
storm hull
so instead of creating generals you create field marshalls?
yes and maybe OF-8 generals
like at a corp level
since corps contain divisions
jade roost
that sounds like cancer
storm hull
that sounds like cancer
yeah im torturing myself
i wonder if theres like an entire overhaul on the military
like an automatic general picker
storm hull
many mods like tha
yes
jade roost
like an automatic general picker
idk about this tho
storm hull
idk about this tho
awts
but yeah that would be interesting
like you can micromanage at your own discretion
but the game can select the general for you
storm hull
main difference between hoi4 and hoi3?
jade roost
hoi3 is shitty
storm hull
I do not have money for hoi3
jade roost
even hoi2 is better
storm hull
hoi3 is shitty
how shitty?
jade roost
but hoi3 military is more realistic
storm hull
i mean what kind of shitty
storm hull
too hard or buggy or?
jade roost
because they had a different version of focus trees
storm hull
what language is hoi4 coded?
storm hull
im kinda planning on making a small scale version of hoi4 lol
storm hull
idk even know what UTF-8 is
I just searched it
nimble solar
im kinda planning on making a small scale version of hoi4 lol
If you make it mobile, there is probably a market for it
storm hull
and its like HTML or something
storm hull
If you make it mobile, there is probably a market for it
damn
jade roost
If you make it mobile, there is probably a market for it
it would have to be not terrible like other mobile games though
storm hull
wait before I make a shitass hoi4 clone, how do i mod in hoi4?
jade roost
modding is a lot easier
nimble solar
it would have to be not terrible like other mobile games though
True
storm hull
it would have to be not terrible like other mobile games though
bootleg hoi4 that troop movement is relative to actual irl time
its like clash of clans upgrade time
storm hull
https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-6533142189269812111
I believe its conflict of nations thingy and other games like it
but without further ado
how 2 mod hoi4?
storm hull
damn ok
jade roost
if you can understand it
storm hull
might revamp military thingy
storm hull
if you can understand it
I know C++, but not know the UTF thingy
jade roost
changing anything else other than stats are hard and focuses
storm hull
that is the hard part
wait too much coding?
storm hull
damn
jade roost
changing a core mechanic
storm hull
changing a core mechanic
jade roost
I know C++, but not know the UTF thingy
yeah thats what that one engine uses
i forgot what its called
unity
jade roost
and that to
storm hull
Clausewitz Engine
storm hull
tf is that
its a game engine
jade roost
and some html css and java
storm hull
not a code
jade roost
its a game engine
makes sense
storm hull
I only know C++ from 1st year electronic engineering
but I got debarred cuz of calculus
jade roost
i self taught myself coding a little bit
storm hull
so im shifting to Comsci
jade roost
im not that good tho
storm hull
im not that good tho
damn
storm hull
by that i mean im terrible
like u cannot do the basic condistional statements or something?
jade roost
like u cannot do the basic condistional statements or something?
no i can do conditionals
anyone can do conditionals
storm hull
cuz for what we learned in C++ are only the basic
up to OOP
anything other than that would be on 2nd year
jade roost
i just started making bootleg text based games with python
storm hull
or comsci field
jade roost
spamming if statements
storm hull
i just started making bootleg text based games with python
I made one aswell lol
storm hull
spamming if statements
i used mine with OOP
storm hull
storm hull
basically, class monster, class monster attack, class player, class player attack
then i have a int main
storm hull
there I pull the objects into the int main
its actually easy
tho the memory for variables are kinda tricky
I had to get help with Chat GPT
This is the int main
notice the class Player C
is inside it
storm hull
tho the memory for variables are kinda tricky
well that is for C++
jade roost
what your doing is rocket science compared to what i did
storm hull
C++ has some tricky memory allocation
storm hull
what your doing is rocket science compared to what i did
damn🗿
also im trying to learn Godot

remember the bootleg hoi4?
jade roost
oh shit
jade roost
remember the bootleg hoi4?
ye
jade roost
like those dday and stalingrad mods?
storm hull
like those dday and stalingrad mods?
no no well
you control, companies and battalions
since im just starting out
a 1:1 map would do
and maybe platoons
jade roost
you control, companies and battalions
kinda sounds like the dday and stalingrad mids
mods
storm hull
kinda sounds like the dday and stalingrad mids
ow damn
jade roost
i wouldnt say thats bad
storm hull
but for what I envisions you instead of like a 3d looking map of hoi4
the map would literally look like a military map
storm hull
the selling point is that you are a commander, and you must use your radio to command troops
the troops are not visible on the map
meaning you must individually ask the location and grid coordainates your you units
then place a marker
jade roost
and how would that work for mobile
storm hull
on the said map
storm hull
and how would that work for mobile
its not for mobile
storm hull
so basically your a commander trying to win a battle
yeap
jade roost
its kinda like this game tommkay played before
storm hull
troops wont move unless ordered to or is in retreat after a devistating blow
jade roost
troops wont move unless ordered to or is in retreat after a devistating blow
pretty obvious
you can probably add a army morale feature
storm hull
so if a unit retreated you must allocate its position
storm hull
you can probably add a army morale feature
yeap
storm hull
then an exitement or eagerness feature
storm hull
units would lose discipline and just rush at the enemy
jade roost
feature 🤹
storm hull
that would be less realistic and be more fun
jade roost
💀 *
storm hull
but hey more fun is fun
storm hull
military couped
no its not grand strategy
jade roost
org rush tatics
jade roost
no its not grand strategy
well that part of the army just refuses to fight
and surrenders
and u lose
storm hull
all you doing is capturing or defending a certain region
storm hull
well that part of the army just refuses to fight
ah yes
like a stubborn battalion that wont follow orders
jade roost
how is compaigns going to work
because you have a gameplay system in mind but how will it work
storm hull
now another selling point is when I get good at programming, voice commands from microphone
jade roost
will there be scenerios
jade roost
now another selling point is when I get good at programming, voice commands from...
ooo
storm hull
since the ui of the game is just a map and a radio
jade roost
thats a thing in like phasmaphobia
storm hull
and a few ballpen and stuff
storm hull
thats a thing in like phasmaphobia
yeap
and the player must use military terminology
like ive seen a youtube short
jade roost
youve thought about this quite a bit
storm hull
radio man got screamed at at CO for using "please repeat" on artillery
storm hull
youve thought about this quite a bit
yeap
jade roost
and if the combat actually works unlike hoi4
it might be successful
if u can make it
storm hull
"please repeat" means repeating the fire mission
storm hull
if u can make it
yeah im trying to learn Godot
also fog of war
you must ask battalion to make a platoon to recon up ahead
storm hull
https://tenor.com/view/stare-ghost-death-gif-27106641
yeah ik
your own troopsa are not automatically displayed on the map
and when I mean by map a literally piece of paper map
storm hull
so your also manually locating your troops and the enemy
jade roost
and when I mean by map a literally piece of paper map
ye ik
jade roost
so your also manually locating your troops and the enemy
that makes sense
but why not you knowing where your divisions are
at the start
storm hull
but why not you knowing where your divisions are
well i have 2 tings in mind
the battalions are already formed a frontlines, and is marked in the map
jade roost

or all ur units are in hq so either theya re not marked or the markings are on the hq itself

is this game idea what you think about in the shower
storm hull
is this game idea what you think about in the shower
well hold on sending vid
storm hull
the game idea
NATO symbol of hq is in the middle bottom
thats ur hq
bruh i think this should be in #off-topic
apolocheese
jade roost
bruh i think this should be in <#954031666010128474>
i mean it started off to do somewhat with modding
storm hull
i mean it started off to do somewhat with modding
ah right
jade roost
NATO symbol of hq is in the middle bottom
what are going to be the icons are whatever represents batalions or platoons
my first idea was a structure kind of like a chess piece
that was just the first thing that came to my mind what were u thinking
btw i had no audio on the video because rn im using my broken laptop because im to lazy to boot up my pc
storm hull
what are going to be the icons are whatever represents batalions or platoons
Nato symbols
storm hull
like infantry battalions are purely infantry
then tank battalions are purely tanks
then artillery platoon or section would ofcourse be purely artillery
but they can also defend themselves
jade roost
what if you dont know nato symbols
storm hull
what if you dont know nato symbols
they are easy
infantry as X
tanks are like the tank threads and stuff
jade roost
how many are you gonna use
storm hull
well the units in my mind are like 3
infantry, tanks and artillery
maybe some engineers
and anti tanks
so maybe 5 - 10
infantry, tanks, artillery, anti tank and engineers are like the main units, they will probably appear 80% of the time
the other symbols are for campaignes
like destroy enemy anti air
jade roost
how will air or navy work
or will it just be army
also lets say you boot up the game you click play then what
jade roost
ah
storm hull
also lets say you boot up the game you click play then what
menu, campaigne list
options
quit
jade roost
you click play then you just get thrown in?
just like as a random commander
for a random counter
country*
storm hull
just like as a random commander
cutscene
storm hull
what country are you playing
its not said
storm hull
what commander
more or less a division level general
jade roost
is it the same exact set up for everyone?
jade roost
youve thought to much into this game lmao
storm hull
youve thought to much into this game lmao
yep
jade roost
those shower thoughts going crazy
storm hull
those shower thoughts going crazy
its actually written down
jade roost
oh nah
storm hull
ready to be made once i learn the basics of godot
theres even a miscommunication moment
jade roost
bro is commited
storm hull
and a radio blackout
storm hull
what happens if you lose?
but first what are the losing conditions?
jade roost
idk
jade roost
or your army surrenders
storm hull
so its better to leave a platoon or division to guard the HQ
jade roost
and the more you attack the more morale you lose
and if you lose morale your army is more likely to surrender
well thats how i think atleast
its ur game
i got a feeling that theres gonna be a paragraph
storm hull
Losing conditions
Units are so damaged they are combat innefective and straight up surrenders
HQ gets overun
Failed to destroy or take objective on time (tho it would be more interesting that rather than a lose screen, the game continues and the games rather just got more harder, failed to destroy a bridge on time? well more enemy will come)
storm hull
and if you lose morale your army is more likely to surrender
losing morale i just a debuff
jade roost
losing morale i just a debuff
i see
storm hull
or
Units so damaged or innefective you got fired and lose screen
jade roost
it would be cool that if you win you get reassigned to a more important front in the war that your nation is fighting
storm hull
it would be cool that if you win you get reassigned to a more important front in...
yeah that is what im planning to
like the final level or mission is taking the enemy's capital
jade roost
does it specify who is the enemy
jade roost
and what if you win
storm hull
or fictional enemy and fictional countries
storm hull
and what if you win
you be war hero or something
jade roost
like a cutscene plays
storm hull
yeap
storm hull
and will they be asbolutly insane like hoi4
mhh maybe
win a mission with using only one battalion
storm hull
and maybe some challenges
jade roost
win a mission with using only one battalion
storm hull
like survive a shock and awe/blitzkrieg type of attack
jade roost
like survive a shock and awe/blitzkrieg type of attack
survive but your units are starving to death and hate you
storm hull
yeah
like a not one step back mission title
also when units move
instead of a stright line they would go for the most effective route
like a road
or bypassing a geographical feature
jade roost
instead of a stright line they would go for the most effective route
hoi4 ai doesnt know what that is
storm hull
but you can command them just go on a straight path
storm hull
w encirclement
my attacks are bad cuz of logistics
jade roost
my attacks are bad cuz of logistics
u actually got hella divisions
you should split them by theatres btw
like europe asia and africa
and make seperate theatres

storm hull
done
