i wnated to give a country a chinese wralord tree but it didnt work and its still generic what did i do wrong?

[fossil cradle]

I remember that there was a mod that made it possible for the news events give effects

anyone know?

[nimble solar]

Darkest hour had animated news event for some events

Many mods have super events like TNO and Kaiserredux

[fossil cradle]

no. i meant a news events that acts like a normal country event

[nimble solar]

Then idk what you mean

[fossil cradle]

normally a news event gives no effects when you click on a button, correct?

thats what country events does

but i remember a mod

that makes it so

[nimble solar]

Some do

[fossil cradle]

the news event gives effects when clicking a button

[nimble solar]

4th internationale event gives Germany communism support

Komet sighted gives +1 and -1 stability

[fossil cradle]

idk what mod

[nimble solar]

Vanilla

Part of base game

[fossil cradle]

thx

[proven sable]

You just do a country event with one option with an effect no?

[dull crystal]

Second West Russian War

[royal quartz]

map of europe is almost done

do i finish the world map, or do i make content for europe?

[signal herald]

I think finishing the map up first so that you know how things will be once you start on the content is the best, since content might want to interact with thigns outside the continent as well.

[royal quartz]

Well I already have a bit of lore and a map planned out already, but it took me a day just to make Europes borders and the other continents might break my will to live

[signal herald]

Well yeah, but the effects that will target specific nations wont work if they aren't on the map yet etc right? 🙃

[royal quartz]

oh shoot yeah

although idk if i am adding any more countries

[signal herald]

I mean ultimately it is up to you since it's your hobby project so I won't tell you to do anything specific, I'm just going by how I would have done it

[royal quartz]

nah i trust you way more than my bad self taught methods

[signal herald]

In that case (if you don't feel like you'll burn out on the project from it), I would recommend completing the map first to have a good foundation to build the content from 👍

[royal quartz]

i am very unsure how to split china

I dont believe anything i changed would really affect them

but base china would seem lazy

very slowly getting there

[signal herald]

I don't know any of the lore but perhaps the Jiangxi Soviet could still be around and as such the communist forces would be stuck on the east coast of China rather than in the mountains of Shanxi

[icy wing]

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to change stuff in the game files. Looking to change up some pictures from the World News events but I'm finding it a bit hard to navigate through the files. Is there any way I can find the specific picture for a specific event and then modify it?

[pale sparrow]

Open the event picture file in the interface folder, then when you find an event you wanna change, you search for its event picture token in the interface file which will tell you its path

[icy wing]

Yeah I can't find the event picture file. What would its name be? Sorry for the basic question it's my first time working with the game files.

[pale sparrow]

See interface/eventpictures.gfx

[icy wing]

Alright, found it and it worked. Thanks for the help.

[winged tinsel]

chat whats the best mod

[nocturne coyote]

road to 56; old world blues; kaiserreich; great war

[winged tinsel]

is rise of nations the mod also good tho?

[nocturne coyote]

i never played it seems like to long

[pale sparrow]

Its also lacks content in some scenarios

[winged tinsel]

so i searched all of them should i do road 56?

[royal quartz]

eaw is pretty cool too if you can get past the whole theme of it...

[winged tinsel]

isnt that my little pony in hoi4

[nocturne coyote]

maybe

[wintry geode]

Does removing the blank spaces in files

make the game faster?

is compactness good?

[dull crystal]

What mod is that?

[late vector]

how do i make it so that a song plays only when you play a certain nation?

i know you can do some stuff with chance and factor, then just checking the country tag, but where exactly do you need to put that inside

also is it enough to put the song.ogg inside the music file? do i need to create a radio station?

[wintry geode]

my mod "the state rework and scenarios mod" on steam

[dull crystal]

thanks

[wintry geode]

1789-1839 mega campaign would be awesome

to have in a mod

is 16 years taking 2h 15m good for a HOI4 mod?

only 700 give or take errors between 1789-1836

[late vector]

Is that your mod?

If its yours, good job. It looks really well made

Btw, couldnt you make it so that instead of using an uncolonized territories nation , you just make it so that nobody controls those states? Then ig you could transfer it to other countries

[wintry geode]

yes thats my mod

[wintry geode]

why would you not be able to transfer the states?

if its already owned by another country

[wintry geode]

hoi4 doesnt like when any of the states arent owned by a country

[jolly mural]

Nope

[wintry geode]

does adding all the base game events file into the mod file going to downgrade the performance?

or does adding basegame files not worsen the performance

[jolly mural]

If a file exists in a mod and in basegame the Mod file will be used, if they are 1:1 there's no difference because they are technically sharing the same content

Not sure why you'd want to

[rose heath]

I've noticed that the most likely reason for hoi4's lag are provinces
Mods with a tiny amount of provinces (Metro) run smooth as butter
Mods with a giant amount of provinces (Magna Europa) are even worse than vanilla

Magna Europa having less countries, less units, etc should technically run way better, but it doesn't likely because of provinces and states
Once the new DLC comes out i will work on a project that will remove all of the terrain except for what's in the red box
The only really important countries leftout would be USA, Japan, and Ethiopia which all can be simulated through events, national spirits, etc

This would cut the amount of provinces from 13 thousand to roughly 5 thousand if my estimation is correct
speeding up the game by a significant amount, being a wonderful multiplayer mod for people with low to average PCs

After removing all of the irrelevant terrain, i'd have to fix/change Focus trees related to terrain outside of the square
(White Russia, Imperial Federation, French/Italian Colony developments) but then it should all be good

Magna Europa uses roughly this exact cut for its map, and manages to make it work

removing provinces is a long and painful process and you must pretty much remove each one manually
but i hope i can handle it

Is there a mod that adds more division types like RT56, but just division types?

[vapid creek]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3296618534 The Holocaust mod has been re-uploaded.

[proven sable]

Anyone know if it's possible to create new tank variants in the style of flame tanks?

[broken kite]

what you guys think of the avatar mod?

[vapid creek]

Incomplete, would be better as standalone game or a mod for Imperator

[broken kite]

a little bit fun though

but yea its sadly incomplete

actually a good crusader kings could be avatar

the fire nation family drama is essentially a crusader kings playthrough

just less murder

[pale sparrow]

I think supply calculations are a decent chunk of performance which you'd be affecting

But could be part of other performance factors as well

[muted hedge]

Good mods for beginner players?

[summer lotus]

None

Vanilla is the best for learning

Hello ! Anyone know how to implement a event in game ?

Basically I tried to create a very small mod for Belgium. Nothing fancy just a new leader when turning red.

I wanted to have it like that

When the country turn commie, an event trigger and then a decision appear in the decision menu to change the leader to the new one. But the event don't launch and the decision don't appear either and I don't understand what I did wrong

[molten lynx]

no

[humble cedar]

Quick Question, How would I go to make an election focus tree?

So that it fires at the time as this above ^^^

[proven sable]

what fires at that time?

[humble cedar]

Just a generic election event.

"the public demands rearmament"

[proven sable]

Isn't that already an event?

[humble cedar]

Yes but a generic one.

[proven sable]

I think you can set events to pop up after a certain date and time

[slender violet]

i think burgundy will make a faction with its influenced states and youre gonna have to go to war with it

[proven sable]

So you'd say pop up after this date with a mtth of 1 hour

[slender violet]

and after you defeat it something very interestring happens

[proven sable]

But I'm not quite sure what you want to happen with a focus tree?

[lofty plaza]

You can use on_new_term_election in on_actions

So the event fires when the election happens

[humble cedar]

Thank you!

I just started working on my mod again and I never had an election system so a democratic greece could form a communist country.

[grizzled sandal]

Is there any mod that makes ALL events trigger on their HISTORICAL DATE ?

Events that are so rng mess my runs

Nope. the brackets seem all in order

[timber zenith]

Could you upload the file? i might be able to take a look at it

[fossil cradle]

ah

i will see if it fixes

[timber zenith]

there's a couple more in the file as well

[fossil cradle]

this is also affecting too or its like this like before?

[timber zenith]

no that's correct

[fossil cradle]

ok

i will test now

[timber zenith]

this one uses the state as a scope, while the other one uses it as a trigger

[fossil cradle]

ok

If anyone here know how to add a custom doctrine folder and can help please! dm me!

[obtuse condor]

how do you make it so (like for example im making a thing for germany to send demands to france) if france accepts you just get the land but if they dont you get a wargoal?

i can probably write that better

[honest zodiac]

guys, why does this goofy ahh bug exists? i tried hours to fix it but it just won't work.

[proven sable]

Pop an event up for France with 2 options, if they accept transfer states, if not add wargoal

[proven sable]

The mod you're trying to play with isn't installed

It should say which mod it is with a red warning triangle next to it in playlists

If you can't see it just make a new playlist and use that

[proven sable]

You'll probably have to change the gui to fit first

[humble cedar]

How do I make it so Jordan would be a British puppet at the game start?

[honest zodiac]

but the mod i programmed is in the mod file tho

[proven sable]

did you make the mod through the launcher?

[honest zodiac]

yes

[proven sable]

did you at some point remove the mod and copy it back in?

[honest zodiac]

yea

[proven sable]

yer so you probably have 2 versions of the same mod, one which exists and one which doesn't

[humble cedar]

For some reason my custom cosmetic tags are not getting the color they are supposed to get.

they remain with the normal colors and they do not change to the desired color I have selected.

[obtuse condor]

how would i make the event be given to only france? I already have the event set up so that they can either deny or accept i just need to know how to make it only for france. I'd also like it so that i could make them selecting no or yes give germany an event

[proven sable]

Check the code on any event which spawns for one country only, which is most of them I think. I think it'll be something like in the spawn conditions limit = { tag = ger}. In the options of the event you can trigger a new event for Germany.

What's the problem you're having specifically?

Is the decision not appearing? Are the cores not applying?

Your information says nothing about what you're looking for

thanks alot

[pale sparrow]

You move its files to a different folder

Dont forget the .mod file

[summer lotus]

like

Permanent 5% gone?

yes, can do that

You can even scale it with damage done to the state

Stability

War support

World tension

[lofty plaza]

Probably an on_action or something

[fossil cradle]

How to do it then?

[summer lotus]

on_action = { on_state_control_changed = {

Now comes the hard part

Hmm

Well, you use variables

Im not home but I can probably send the image of an example

[summer lotus]

It looks like this

you use set_temp_variable to generate new var

Set it to the population of FROM.FROM

Multiply it by 0.05 or divide it by 20

Then multiply it with -1 or whatever negative var or just add a minus before 0.05

then add_manpower = variable

So every time state control changes, the state loses 5% population

That image there includes population division to move them from a state to subsequent state, based on various scaling factors, so it is a little longer

[fossil cradle]

Ah makes sense

I will test at home

Thx for the info

The wiki didnt make it very clear

[summer lotus]

you can make it more complicated, of course

my population change file has eh

threat factor

state damaged factory ratio factor

stability factor

state to state population flow, state to foreign state population flow based on a % of existing convoy in the source country as well as based on targeted country's stability or infrastructure

the whole thing sorta failed to work in the end

and we never discovered why

actually

probably better

oh wait

I made mistake

ah not

that is fine, but this might work slightly better

[indigo dagger]

when i did my custom formable nation the name for it is not appearing when i press the button it keep the same name it should rename to the Mouf-Jeran Empire

how to update an old mod to latest patch?

[silent swallow]

2 questions for yall
1: What is the Modulo something and is it possible to do for hoi4
and
2: Are there wait or reset_variable triggers or something like it?

[summer lotus]

ah modulo_temp_variable

Works on variable but temp var better

[silent swallow]

What do either do?

It aint too difficult, it just takes alot of time and research, if you are getting into it I recommend looking at the hoi4 wiki and watching the iron workshop on it, I'd you want to be on discord, join hoi4 modding den

[silent swallow]

Make it yourself either way, makes it fun tbh. If your doing this idea though I recommend starting with states and stuff since it is really the easiest part.

[sand summit]

my event isnt loading ingame, can anyone help?

[timber zenith]

what command are you running

[sand summit]

event [event id]

[timber zenith]

and what event id are you putting in

[inland sequoia]

Ok, so I believe I have screwed up my game by using the nudge tool incorrectly. I was messing around with the nudge tool with a map changing mod (EaW) active, and when I turned EaW off and turned on a mod of my own, I get this error log, which contains tags, state IDs etc, of EaW. I have also tried turning off all mods, as well as verifying game files. Anyone know how to fix this or do I have to do a full reinstall?

[lost tendon]

clear the hoi4 > history > states folder

first is just documents

[inland sequoia]

thank you so much 🙏

[vast otter]

I installed mods on my hoi4 like, the grate war and Kaisereich but when I open hoi it’s vanilla why?

[silent swallow]

Check the playset.

[iron bolt]

after road to 56 what mod would you lot recommend?

[silent swallow]

[vestal falcon]

Does anyone know where the Reichskommissariat decision translations are located?

[sand summit]

global_defense_council.1

[jolly mural]

Its the remainder of the Euclidean division of x/y

[silent swallow]

That doesn't help.

[obtuse condor]

heyoo, whenever i change a ocean province to land, it doesnt work because its not assigned a continent, but game still starts, but if i change it to a one, the game crashes, so how would i make a new continent?

[jolly mural]

The remainder of a division

10%9= 1

Because
10/9=1.1
1*9=9
10-9=1

The remainer after 10 is divided by 9 is 1. Aka the modulo, or the % sign

[pale sparrow]

you basically get a sequence which personally I've only used outside HOI to group elements

modulo 3 counting upwards gives you 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2...

[jolly mural]

Any number % 2 = 0 is an even number because there is no remainder, if it's 1 its odd

[fossil cradle]

Hi. does somebody know how to apply it as an effect of a national spirit? The way I did just crashed the game

[silent swallow]

So how do I use something like a temp variable, and how do I reset a variable

[lofty plaza]

I don't think there is anything specific for that but you can just set it to what you want it to be

Or make a scripted effect for it if you are doing it often, makes it easier

[wintry geode]

What were even the flags of the states back in the day?

when they were territories

[fossil cradle]

Idk if this message was for me but thats what i tried and crashed the game

[lofty plaza]

It was directed towards you yes

[fossil cradle]

Oh k

I will try to find another way without the game crashing

Tomorrow i can send the error.log thoigh

Though

[indigo dagger]

can someone help me with my question

on how to change the name of the state for a custom formable nation

[nimble solar]

Wouldn't it work to have the territories not be cores instead of them being puppets?

[wintry geode]

No tbh

i like the 1857 mod

which has them as countries

[silk tide]

Does anyone know some mods that can make it difficult playing a the Soviets again?

everytime it's just so easy to curbstomp Germany

even with Expert AI

is that one like, world ablaze levels of difficulty?

I need help whit geting changes to Railway guns if anyone can help plese do

[indigo dagger]

yay im getting ignored

[wintry geode]

Would this be unaccurate?

was the part of the Loire bordering the ocean reasonably big?

dark blue means the river is thick right?

[fossil cradle]

Btw, maybe giving more context will help. The red line says that it asks for a float despite other not bothering with it.

Invalid scope type for trigger has_country_flag in common/scripted_effects/HIP_BlueTerror_effect.txt line : 18

How can I store and use a tag in a variable

I want an event option to depend on what country was targeted by a different event

[timber zenith]

you can use save_event_target_as = event_tag

as an example

then you can use that event_tag or whatever you put there in place of another tag

[proven sable]

I don't think that would work if it's two different events/decisions/focuses would it?

[timber zenith]

ah yes you can use save_global_event_target_as

it applies globally until cleared

[proven sable]

Ohh didn't know there was a global version

[timber zenith]

it can be pretty handy

[indigo dagger]

can someone please help me with my code on how to change the nation name for a custom formable nation

[pale sparrow]

cosmetic tag

[indigo dagger]

cheers

[sterile plank]

what does this mean?

[lofty plaza]

The mod failed to upload

[summer lotus]

EAI Germany is weaker than fully buffed vanilla Germany anyway

the modder knew how to make reasonable improvement on the AI but didn't know the game enough to matter

[summer lotus]

hmmm, both yes and no

WA technically isn't hard, it just rigs both side in order to get a roughly historical game

BICE is more of it forcing you to relearn some aspects of the game

you can try CA mods if you just want to die

[silk tide]

Tommykay couldn't even survive as the Soviets 💀

it like, makes it so you can't retret fast enough, and all your divs end up deathstacking on a single tile

[nimble solar]

Attack first clearly Kappa face

[silk tide]

you get a -30% attack debuff

[nimble solar]

Oof, doesn't operation barbarossa give you +10 or 15 percent attack boost though

[silk tide]

as the Soviets at least

you get the debuff

[nimble solar]

Either way, I still have yet to beat Sheep's Soviet as Germany yet

And Sheep made the AI smarter without direct buffs

Wonder if I can beat expert ai

Probably not

Did beat Sheep's Germany as Soviets so there is a chance

[summer lotus]

why not?

just ape it with pure infantry

[summer lotus]

why hold yourself lower than TommyKay?

have some confidence

WA simply rigs you either way

play along with it and suffer casualties then you will hold eventually

[summer lotus]

just hold with org and guns 👀

even if you take 2-3M casualties, it is fine

deploy the reserve

WA heavily nerfs infantry compared to vanilla so you will need tanks either way

[nimble solar]

I like to keep casualties sub 1 million

[summer lotus]

can still do it then

[nimble solar]

And I suck at setting up industry

[summer lotus]

unless I enable Dynamic Reinforcement,

I can stroll through them at Impossible difficulty with sub 300K losses

[nimble solar]

Turns out, mid 37 switch to mils doesn't always work

[summer lotus]

💀

wait, even with Dynamic Reinforcement

[nimble solar]

Well, having to import like 30 civs of aluminum does that to you

[summer lotus]

the only question is whether I fully strengthen SOV AI as well

🤔

if I do it is +30% stats and +30% production for them so it can be a little sloggish

otherwise still no problem

[nimble solar]

Make it where SOV only thinks it can attack when it has offensive divisions

And not just atrack with defensive infantry in red air

[summer lotus]

well I did pure inf no air no tanks

so industry build up was

easy

[nimble solar]

Roach moment

[summer lotus]

I took less than 300K losses still

since my infantry had like 10 times more stats than EAI SOV

[nimble solar]

Wait, so how can you make infantry blocks just attack

And win

[summer lotus]

🤔 idk,

I know it works so I simply rely on it

[nimble solar]

Sheer numbers and reinforce rate?

[summer lotus]

pretty much

you have more HP, org, break, attack than them

MA is extremely lethal vs EAI stuffs

[nimble solar]

So basically have gun 2 in 1937, mass produce, battleplan with 3 army groups of infantry

Win

[summer lotus]

yeah, then gun 3 in late 1940 or sth

train your generals in Spain

heck, I can breach Maginot with only infantry even if I don't make railway gun

[nimble solar]

I have no clue why I can't grind general traits in Spain

[summer lotus]

EAI doesn't have gun 2 til 1940

so like

if you have it as Germany

you are just invincible until late 40

[nimble solar]

Wonder if space marines would work

[summer lotus]

probably

[nimble solar]

Or too pricy

[summer lotus]

should be fine

EAI doesn't have enough stats to kill spacemarines

if they really want to defend, they would have to stop civgreeding

but og modder didn't understand the game so

[nimble solar]

Civ greed cool

15/15 is life

Any less is painful to the soul

More civs to get more 15/15

[summer lotus]

[nimble solar]

I should play a larp USA game

Just build civs until Japan declares war on me aside from the mil here or there

[summer lotus]

1 mil 1 dock every 5 civ

make sure to build some infrastructure and airports

gotta make the civilian economy looks real

[nimble solar]

I max out infrastructure before building stuff usually

I sell the national guard, build mils from the proceeds, then infrastructure spam

[summer lotus]

anyway

What did you change for playing as China

Since last time I tried

[summer lotus]

hmm, not much, really

🤔

[nimble solar]

I played twice, gave up on my 2nd one as I got a silent naval invasion on the 1 port I forgot to garrison on Guanxi and I couldn't hold both fronts

[summer lotus]

China does have a buff now

[nimble solar]

I hate when I don't get a notification of getting naval invaded

[summer lotus]

at the start of the war

you can get -30% production cost on 1918 guns

👀

even more manpower

[nimble solar]

I noticed for guns 2 there was like a mass production of guns

[summer lotus]

I prolly need to give minimum training level reduction as well

yeah

it only reduces cost on gun 0 and gun 1 anyway

[nimble solar]

What are some good achievements / ironman mode compatability mods that's like a mist have?

Don't know if it is ironman comp but definitely some of the complete overhaul mods and or graphics mods

[olive hazel]

Any suggestions? Like i play as germany ive got some portraits and some more added icons n that

[silent swallow]

Would not reccomend RON, but Age of Imperialism I think is good for alt history and ironman comp

[olive hazel]

Is it also achievement compatible 😅

[silent swallow]

Yes, I am pretty sure ironman comp meant achievement comp and vice versa

[olive hazel]

id of thought anything that changes game files like tech tree and that would disabled achievments .... ive just been digging around for the german reich stuff to add

is there a mod that removes the painful UI in TNO

yeah lol

[timber zenith]

unfortunately not one that has been updated in the past 3 years

[proven sable]

I've never actually really played with BOP mechanics, how do they work?

Thinking about creating some sort of BOP system for Vichy France with a push and pull between axis and allies

[lost tendon]

not to shot down an idea but creating a BOP for a collaborative vichy regime? how would it make sense

collaborative as in with germans

[proven sable]

Basically ATM I have a bunch of events where the allies and axis do nasty things to the Vichy regime

[lost tendon]

nasty as?

[proven sable]

Allies invade their colonies, attack at mers el kebir, sneak their generals out of the country, Germans demand "guest workers", Italy steals their territory, axis demand fleet basing rights or mill access in various ports/ colonies

[lost tendon]

attack as border wars?

or event chain

[proven sable]

No, Vichy now has a bunch of colonial subjects which can be attacked by or defect to the allies.

[lost tendon]

cool shit

[proven sable]

Tyvm

[lost tendon]

but then how would the BOP work?

pulling to one side or other

[proven sable]

Historically Vichy also did some nasty stuff to allies and had plans/did nasty stuff to the axis depending on who pissed them off.

So I was wondering if I could have event outcomes be dependent on that BOP then like if Germany goes too far the fleet sails to allied ports and defects to free French or if the allies go too far Vichy joins the war on the German side.

I want some reason why especially Germany wouldn't just immediately demand everything from Vichy.

[lost tendon]

didnt know that

really good ideas

well then

yeah

[proven sable]

If anything it's more.like the Dutch cave to Germany Vs UK thing

Just don't know if BOP is better suited to it. Can other countries see your BOP, because if they can't it makes it pretty pointless.

[lost tendon]

I dont believe so

BOP would work good I think

that is if you can suit decisions/focuses that depend on how BOP looks at certain moment

[wintry geode]

how to make so a group of divisions gets retired?

[lost tendon]

so just like with caving in

[wintry geode]

August 7 – Whiskey Rebellion: President Washington invokes the Militia Acts of 1792 mobilize a federal army of 12,500 men. The force would later be put under the command of General "Light Horse Harry" Lee to be led into western Pennsylvania against the insurrection.

[proven sable]

As in delete them?

[wintry geode]

yeah

want to make two undeletable divisions get deleted after xyz thing is failed/succeded

[proven sable]

delete_unit_template_and_units = {
division_template = "Infantry Division"
disband = yes #will refund equipment and manpower
}

[grim laurel]

there is anyway to give an ideia to every single nation that exists and can exist in-game?

[wintry geode]

What do you guys do when you are researching for a historical focus tree and theres blank spaces?

does anyone know a good place to research USA history?

[grim laurel]

wikipedia

or

other academic stuff for older stuff

search on national stuff

[proven sable]

Ok what do you mean by "can exist"

[wintry geode]

i look at the 1789 etc in usa pages

[grim laurel]

like releasable nations

[wintry geode]

albeit they only have 5-20 things that happened each year

which isnt enough

[grim laurel]

yeah

idk then

[proven sable]

Obviously civil war countries and things like Vichy don't even have cores

[grim laurel]

yes

how to i add an ideia to every nation/tag

[wintry geode]

apparently The first Black American Masonic Lodge was founded in 1791

[grim laurel]

search deeper

[wintry geode]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_U.S._foreign_policy,_1776–1801#French_Revolution_1789-1796

[grim laurel]

ohhh

[grim laurel]

#history

[proven sable]

You can add them to the countries files at game start or do every_country = {add_idea = my_idea}

[grim laurel]

OMG THANK YOU

I will make mod to add an ideia of ai Focus on aggression hehehehehe

[proven sable]

You can add an on action for on startup

[grim laurel]

I only know simple coding

[grim laurel]

so I create an ideia

[proven sable]

There's a file called on action

[grim laurel]

with the stats I want

oh

[proven sable]

In there are files for things that happen on actions. You can create one that says on startup add this idea to everyone

[proven sable]

The idea already exists I believe

Italy has it

[grim laurel]

I want ai_focus_on_agression 10000%

and ai Focus_on_defense -1000%

[proven sable]

Just edit the Italian one and give it to everyone

[grim laurel]

thanks
so I go on the ideias files and give it to everyone using every_country?

[noble lagoon]

is there any mod that lets me buff countries like poland?

[grim laurel]

yes

[noble lagoon]

what one

[grim laurel]

I think rt56

or just straight search it

[noble lagoon]

ty

[proven sable]

so you go into the idea files, find the italian idea that gives focus on offence, you increase the offence value. Then you copy the name of the idea, go to the on_action folder, create a new on action text file and put into it

    on_startup = {
        effect = {
                   every_country = {add_idea = focus_on_offence} #or whatever its called
                }
             }
        }```

that should work

[fallow ingot]

Game crashing when trying to validate states, custom map btw

[grim laurel]

I copy pasted it thx

[fallow ingot]

Heres the error log if that helps

[wintry geode]

Have figured out something now for every focus more or less (usa 1789-1797)

[proven sable]

if all of these are 70 day focuses you have 19 years of focuses here

[wintry geode]

those are 30 day focuses

I want 30 day focuses for the majors britain usa russia france austria prussia ottomans

[proven sable]

fair enough, though generally I'd say don't shoehorn in focuses as filler.

[wintry geode]

i hope to not do that

if theres not enough stuff

there will be 70 day focuses

nothing happened in Poland 1789-1795 so you have to give them 70 day focuses

[proven sable]

I'd also say feel free to just make stuff up too

[wintry geode]

do the other mods that take place 1700-1900 do that?

1700 mod has so france can take corsica early in the 1700s

[proven sable]

I've not really played any but pretty much all mods and paradox make stuff up or at least bend the truth to make a more enjoyable focus tree

[wintry geode]

im going to add 3 starting national spirtis extreme poverty spirt of the american revolution and american patriotism

Do they look Balanced?

[nimble solar]

Maybe instead of extreme poverty it should be fragile economy which gives -10% construction speed +10% consumer goods

The American economy back then was wacky due to each state doing their own thing

[grim laurel]

give patriotism a defensive war support penalty of >70%

[nimble solar]

How come? Only the Federalists disapproved of the War of 1812. Not sure about overall support but there wasn't extreme outcry from it.

Or am I misunderstanding what you mean of defensive war support penalty

[grim laurel]

defensive war increase war support

by 30-70%

idk how much patriotic they were

[digital heart]

Do not organize your national focuses like this

he knows it

he is still working on it

look at a tutorial imo

[narrow igloo]

Hello, me need help

[pale sparrow]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[rose heath]

i saw youtube videos of your mod
i'm very impressed by your ultravisionarism
but people struggle to do mods half the size of yours with a team

i don't want to destroy your motivation but i don't think you'll finish it

so many things to do, to test, to balance

[wintry geode]

"finish it"?

what do you have in mind

[rose heath]

like
develop it to the point where the majority of features are fully completed and tested

take it to the 1.0 version

[wintry geode]

finished as in focuses for at least 10 countries and a vienna congress system?

Thats what i would view as 1.0

[rose heath]

with everything tested and balanced

yes

given how many years of content you're planning might be tough

also technology

are you remaking technology

well you must given the time period

[wintry geode]

dont really plan on changing the technology

submarines artillery and infantry will make do

pre-1936

[rose heath]

you can't have radios, nukes, and tanks in that time period can you

[wintry geode]

no

you need to research nukes anyways

so it will be impossible unless you wait 200 years

[rose heath]

so the most basic research given the time penalty will take 190 years

production 1 is 1936 after all

you just won't be able to do research

is that the plan

everyone has the same guns, same artillery, etc throughout the entire game

any research slots, research speed buffs/penalties are just useless

what about planes

you can't have that either

[wintry geode]

they need to be researched so they will be impossible to have

anyways

[rose heath]

the first metal ship was built in 1839

your ships shouldn't take metal to make then

[wintry geode]

idk what they would be made out of then

[rose heath]

wood

maybe there's some minor steel used for the cannons

with no technology it's gonna be a destroyer and submarine spam

since that's the basic tech for most countries

and sumbarines don't make any sense

also the mine mechanic
you can lay mines on the sea

that makes no sense in your time period either

[wintry geode]

have those so countries can do naval invasions

what ship would be more accurate in the game?

that allows naval invasions

[rose heath]

well i'm not really a ship expert but you could look up what ships were used by the british and such
if you want to simplify it i guess you can make it so there's only 1 ship and it's made of wood

also remember about the ship designer

[wintry geode]

adding a new material is not on the radar for me so to speak

[rose heath]

well i guess then you can make them out of steel (cannons) but make them cheaper or something since a ship that isn't made out of metal shouldn't cost so much metal

i don't remember how much the basic ship costs

i think 1936 destroyer is 2 steel

so you can make yours 1 steel perhaps

wait should your ships use fuel i don't think so right

[wintry geode]

theres a 1936 scenario too

[rose heath]

well i guess you can make the basic ship really cheap and not use fuel
but remember that your naval domination is based only on the amount of personel you have in your fleet

like literally
spamming huge carriers gives you no combat potential but gives you magic naval domination

it's insane

so the cheap ships should not have much manpower in them

How do I add countries to a custom map made with mapgen v2.2

[grim laurel]

guh

how do i publish mods

[proven sable]

In the launcher there should be a button that says create mod or something

You can then upload it to steam or pdx mods

[grim laurel]

yeh

n_actions = {

on_startup = {
    effect = {
               every_country = {add_idea = ai_focus_aggressive_factor = 10000 } 
            }
         }
    }

does this code work?

[proper acorn]

Put on_actions

[grim laurel]

sure

[grim laurel]

i havent made an ideia but will it work?

i put it on_actions

[proper acorn]

the code you sent was wrong, it should be on_actions at the beginning of the code and you put n_actions

[grim laurel]

on_actions = {

on_startup = {
    effect = {
               every_country = {add_idea = ai_focus_aggressive_factor = 10000 } 
            }
         }
    }

like this?:

[proper acorn]

Yeap

[grim laurel]

thx

[proven sable]

The idea has the focus on aggression in it.

[grim laurel]

yes

its percentage

10000%

[proven sable]

So it's just on_actions = {

on_startup = {
    effect = {
               every_country = {add_idea = ai_focus_on_agression} 
            }
         }
    }

The idea is in a different folder, you give the idea the values it should have

[grim laurel]

oh

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

how to i make idea

There's a file with a bunch of ideas in them.

[uneven jasper]

a friend sent me his mod so I could help him with it

but paradox keeps telling me somethings wrong with the descriptor

and the primary descriptors path is right

[honest zodiac]

chat, what do i do now?

same exact issue for me

[honest zodiac]

what do i do then

[grim laurel]

reload it

[topaz bluff]

is it possible to add new division Officer with specific portrait and character through focus?

[pale sparrow]

forgot to include the .mod file outside the folder perhaps?

[north wave]

You mean like those?

[late pilot]

really quick and dumb question, what is or? like if i said: every_state{limit = is_owned_by = USA (or) is_core_of = ITA}

[proven sable]

ok well 1. that syntax isn't correct but 2. an or statement just means that if any of the triggers are true, return true

[late pilot]

ik, what is the or statement in hoi4 modding? is it ||, or is it just the word or?

[proven sable]

OR = {}

[late pilot]

so just do OR = {x}?

[proven sable]

yes https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Scopes#Flow_control_tools

[late pilot]

k thank you

[late pilot]

dont accidently delete state files kids

[honest zodiac]

still doesnt work

like i can load it ONCE when i create a new mod files, buf if i reload the launcher it malfunctions

[icy yoke]

is there a mod that allows you to equally distribute civ factories for building projects?

[obtuse condor]

is there a mod that is historical immersion the ai is very good but not too op and isnt like black ice

[sand summit]

rip

'185946 errors'

[late pilot]

it kept climbing btw

wonder if i couldved reached 1 million but oh well

[molten lynx]

hello, does anyone know how i can make my custom coutnries ai always attack no matter what?

any way to make it ignore low manpower / organisation?

[proven sable]

Didn't we already do this or was that someone else?

Yes it was someone else lol, just scroll up

[molten lynx]

ive asked around but not figured it out yet

nobody seems to know

at least on the modding discord, so thought it ask here

[molten lynx]

oh damn

[proven sable]

Take the Italian idea focus on offence, increase it, give it to everyone you want to be more aggressive

[molten lynx]

oh wait i coudl take code from that idea and add it to my custom idea surely?

[proven sable]

You already know how to use on_startup, just create a new idea and add it to everyone on startup like you did with technology.

[proven sable]

Yep just copy and paste it and rename it something different. You can even hide it if you don't want it to show up as a national spirit

[molten lynx]

this is amazing

ill look into this right afte ri fix my indenting

[proven sable]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers#AI

[molten lynx]

o

[molten lynx]

i cant find it

in Italian ideas right?

[proven sable]

I believe so, not at pc rn

[molten lynx]

so the units are saying organization too low to advance, i basically jsut want it to ignore this.

[proven sable]

I'm not sure that's possible unless there's something in the defines

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Defines

[molten lynx]

bruh

[molten lynx]

ive tried using this modifier but it doesnt seem to have had any effect

[wintry geode]

This is pretty cursed

[proven sable]

I think all you've done is set it to 100%, or maybe increased it by 100%

try 1000 and come back to me 🙂

[molten lynx]

ye ingame it says +100%

[molten lynx]

still nothing 🥺

[proven sable]

(off topic but paradox sets different numbers for "absolutely do this ". Anywhere from like 40 to 100000 and that can cause problems with AI behaviour)

[molten lynx]

would i need ot reload for this?

it updates ingame

but idk if the ai updates

[proven sable]

no idea, might as well try it

can I ask why exactly you want this incase there's a better way to go about it?

[molten lynx]

similar to a zombie apocalypse scenario. its a swarm of self replciation killing machines which have gone rogue

[proven sable]

If you want them to just be zombies then you could probably just give them a load of org so they never retreat

or like 1000% org regain factor

[molten lynx]

i have given laods of org lol. issue is the custom units dont use manpower

at leasat i think its because of that

[proven sable]

what do you mean they don't use manpower?

[molten lynx]

units spawned via repeating event

(cusotm unit models will ceom later)

[proven sable]

im not sure how the game will treat a unit that uses 0 manpower

Do they actually attack?

[molten lynx]

they start in teh red circle and seem to advance untill where the line ends

[proven sable]

It might be the game is saying "I have 0 manpower, therefor I must not attack"

[molten lynx]

it seems to be behaving nomrally. not aggressive enough. ai thinks the terrain is not worth advancing into

[proven sable]

OHHHHH is this a supply thing

[molten lynx]

ive given them modifiers to do with supply, so they always have supply

average strength is 90 = 100

[proven sable]

No but the game is saying don't move there because you have 0 supply

[molten lynx]

oh even with the modifiers?

[proven sable]

so its not that they're affraid of enemy units, they just don't want to invade the outback

[molten lynx]

ye lol

jsut sitting there menacingly

[proven sable]

Ah right. hmmm. I think the aggressive battleplan thing might do it, no clue if you can force the AI to use that tho

[molten lynx]

could low manpower make them not want to attack? they are always at 0

[wintry geode]

How to make so every state owned by france except 21 (provence) gets transfered to another country and provvence gets demilitarized?

[proven sable]

I believe its transfer_state_to = VND

[wintry geode]

didnt work

[proven sable]

This is my code which transfers all of north africa to a new country if this helps

                    limit = {
                        is_controlled_by = FRA
                        is_owned_by = FRA
                        OR = {
                            is_core_of = MOR
                            is_core_of = TUN
                            is_core_of = ALG
                            #is_on_continent = africa
                            #is_core_of = VIN
                            #is_core_of = CAM
                            #is_core_of = LAO
                            #is_core_of = LEB
                            #is_core_of = SYR
                        }
                    }
                    VNA = {transfer_state = PREV}
                }```

ahh yer so VNA is the person who is getting the state, PREV is the person you are taking the state from

So from france to provence its PRV = {transfer_state = FRA}

[wintry geode]

Thanks it worked

[proven sable]

you need to set a state to be demiliterised too, so I think it was be 22 = {set_demiliterized_zone = yes}

[wintry geode]

i did that

it worked

[proven sable]

Nice, gl to you

[molten lynx]

hey you familiar with events?

could i change this to if TAG owns state id?

[proven sable]

Yep, tho there's different versions of owns

[molten lynx]

ok nice

i think for now i mght jsut spawn units in regions if TAG owns a certain state

[proven sable]

I think own just means it technically belongs to them, so it'll fire even if someone else is occupying it in a war

[molten lynx]

liek scripted offences / naval invasions

[molten lynx]

oh

[proven sable]

Realising I'm dumb here because I'm pretty sure there a command for own and control

[molten lynx]

wait what would the code thing be for that? i still dont even know waht the proper terminlogy is for this lol

trigger? is that the word?

command?

[proven sable]

Trigger determines if something is true to do an action

[molten lynx]

o

[proven sable]

The wiki has a list of all triggers https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Triggers

You can combine lots of them together so you could say fire the event if any country which is in a faction with any country which is at war with you has units in any state which borders you.

[molten lynx]

which one would i use for if TAG ownes XXstate id

[proven sable]

Do you want owned, controlled or owned and controlled

[molten lynx]

jsut controlled

if tag controls

then ill want to load an oob if TAG owns a certain state

[proven sable]

Xxstate = {is_controlled_by = tag}

That would go within the trigger block of the event in order for it to fire

If you want the event to fire, but you want the outcome to depend on certain factors you would put it within an if statement.

So in the effects it would be
if = {
Xxstate = {is_controlled_by = tag}
}
Load oob

[honest zodiac]

guys how do i create a tno-like congress system?

smh like this

[molten lynx]

yo

[proven sable]

Also within the even you can give the options triggers so certain options only appear if the things are true

[molten lynx]

im stupid, ive got it all over the place lmao

the load oob code is jsut checking if the coutnry alreayd has that oob so it doesnt create a million of teh same divicion tempaltes

[proven sable]

You can lock templates so they can only be spawned via effects

Then you can just load the oob on country creation with all your templates and not have to worry about it.

[molten lynx]

but im loading a different oob to teh one on gam,e start

this oob thats loaded will spawn troops in a specific laoction to simulate a naval invasion

[proven sable]

But why?

[molten lynx]

troops in different locations

[proven sable]

Ok you don't need to do that, events can spawn units automatically

And you can even tell it to spawn the units dynamically

[molten lynx]

wait so my event could jsut take an existing unit and spawn it in a lcoation?

[proven sable]

Yep.

[molten lynx]

O

wait how

[proven sable]

Search for create unit in here https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect

Apparently you can even have it spawn in enemy territory

Just Ctrl f create_unit

[molten lynx]

ye thats what im lookin for lol

[proven sable]

The effects and triggers wiki will have pretty much everything you need. Have a read through them to see what you can do.

[molten lynx]

this look right?

as in my indenting

[proven sable]

I don't think indenting matters, it's just good practice

I don't know what country score does tho

[molten lynx]

not needed?

oh also is tehre any base stuff requried for events?

like to make them actualyl fire

or will they just work if they are in the events folder?

[proven sable]

They either need a trigger and mtth, or be triggered only and have something trigger them

[wintry geode]

How to make so all french divisions get deleted?

delete_units = {
division_template
disband = no #will refund equipment and manpower
}

or how do i do it?

[proven sable]

Should just put the division template name in there

[wintry geode]

but theres multiple division templates

[proven sable]

I think delete_unit = {} should delete everything

[wintry geode]

Didnt wokr

they are still there

[proven sable]

Any errors

Also this is why indenting is important this is impossible to read

[molten lynx]

is teh id for state or tile? this doesnt seem to be working

oh wait im an idioit

theres no actual event tied to it

[wintry geode]

How to make so all puppets become free?

[proven sable]

I think the I'd there is just used later for deleting units if you want

[molten lynx]

oh

wait i think im confused

i dont want some popup text

im jsut lookng to spawn troops in x tile if x state is controled by tag
