[lofty plaza]

But whatever suits you, I guess

[wintry geode]

how would you actually make a historical focus tree?

[lofty plaza]

Creating one focus at a time with a semi-consistent layout

Not having a jumbled mess of focuses that I add effects to then move around later

[timber zenith]

70 day focuses to hire a dude and build a bank aren't exactly fun either

says 30 but still

[wintry geode]

how else would you make a historical focus tree with 30 day focuses

[timber zenith]

focuses don't have to be 30 days, they just have to feel like they're worth doing

[wintry geode]

well the bank focuses add 1 civ

should i make so they add some infrastructure and stability also?

+1 infrastructure to all neighboring states? (if owned)

making a fun focus tree sounds hard

[timber zenith]

probably the hardest part of making a tree is making it enjoyable

at least in my experience

a focus should always feel like it has an impact to your situation, wihout feeling overpowered

[wintry geode]

Im going to have to make the Swedish Spanish portuguese focuses 70 day focuses tbh

unless allot of cities/towns were created

those are good filler

at least some thing happened in prussia like the partions of poland 1st coalition war prussia antagonizing austria prussia purchasing ansbach and bayreuth agreems with france to have the rhine as their river

30 day focuses for Prussia seem reasonably possible

[proven sable]

You want "alt history" branches or the whole thing becomes pointless

Or at least the ability to do things in a different order

But it also can't be too complicated or it becomes overwhelming

Also if I'm honest making focus trees that go for many years or even decades really isn't practical. The game isn't built for it. Industry and tech scales ridiculously fast, you normally fill out every building slot in Just a couple of years.

[stuck quarry]

making a tree go on for that long seems like a total pain in the ass too, like how would you structure it without it being overwhelming as hell when you first load in and theres hundreds of focuses you could do

[proven sable]

After like 6 years the game starts to lag really badly too and front lines fill up with human goop

[proven sable]

I think his plan is to have later parts of the focus hidden and for it to activate at the bottom of the focus block but I think a way way way better say of doing this is just do a bunch of start dates.

The like 2 times I've played to 1948 in a multiplayer game we've ended up just agreeing that this is dumb and called it a draw so we could go to bed.

[stuck quarry]

imo start dates seems better, but it could work if most of the tree is hidden and older parts get hidden as youprogress or something, me and one of my friends is currently in the process of writing a alternate history universe thing for the world starting in the 1850s and spanning to the mid 2000s, we plan to adapt it into a hoi4 mod but like 200 years of a single focus tree would just get mental really fast, not to mention like yo said at one point everything is build and theres nothing to do except wait for focuses to finish and do war

[proven sable]

Also there's no AE mechanics so you can conquer the entire world in 6 years.

[north wave]

The country is created ( Similiar to Italian east africa )
but the issues here is

It has the wrong portrait for the leader tho the leader is correct and has the trait I created
The tag of the country appears but not the whole name
and the ideas I put them doesn't appear tho ( not in history file thorugh decision file)

[stuck quarry]

Wdym AE?

[proven sable]

In a game like EU4 if you conquer too much land all the people you've conquered get angry and rebel against you

[stuck quarry]

Ah

You could probably program that in yourself if absolutely required

In my abandoned mod i had a state integration/reclamation mechanic that had a chance at sparking a rebellion if it failed

[proven sable]

Yer but Hoi isn't build around 18th century siege warfare

It's about total war. It doesn't really even have mechanics for separate minor peace.

Ww1 was probably the first big war with a continuous front line rather than armies just roaming around wreaking havock.

[stuck quarry]

meanwhile players just send their troops on lone wolf missions lol

[proven sable]

TBF that only really works because players/the AI don't really use reserves

It kinda used to exist back when you needed on map troops to deal with resistance, you'd have small cavalry divisions everywhere for that so if the enemy punched through there would be a small cavalry division in a city to defend it.

[stuck quarry]

Yea, ngl im pretty bad at the game so if my get sea invaded or something im usually screwed until i can reprganize my troops

[bold grotto]

anyone got a good modset for rt56 rp?

[opaque abyss]

How do I make a targeted decision that works on a state?

[summer lotus]

go to the base game folder

open SOV file in decisions subfolder

ctrl f "relocat"

It will go to their industrial relocation decision

It is probably the most "complex" devs have done with a state decision in vanilla

Just read through it and you will understand what you need

[opaque abyss]

        every_owned_state = {
            limit = {
                NOT = { 
                    OR = {
                        is_core_of = ROOT
                        has_state_flag = currently_being_cored
                    }
                }
                is_core_of = GER
            }
            activate_targeted_decision = { target = THIS decision = GRP_integrate_state }
            activate_targeted_decision = { target = THIS decision = GRP_crush_valkist_cells }
            activate_targeted_decision = { target = THIS decision = GRP_ingratiate_government }
        }
    }```

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this effect

I just can't puzzle out exactly what the issue is

[summer lotus]

Ahh

[opaque abyss]

        available = {
            FROM = {
            is_fully_controlled_by = ROOT
            is_owned_by = ROOT
            }
        }

        visible = {
            FROM = {
                is_owned_by = ROOT
            }
        }

        cancel_trigger = {
            NOT = { has_full_control_of_state = FROM }
        }

        cost = 35
        days_remove = 75
        cancel_if_not_visible = yes
        on_map_mode = map_only
        state_target = yes```

This is what I have right now for one of the decisions

But I can't figure out why it won't appear

[summer lotus]

What does it say if you debug the game with this?

[opaque abyss]

I don't see anything referring to the decision or effect

But the decisions don't appear on the map

So i have no idea what the issue is

[summer lotus]

Send the whole file

Gonna take a look in like 5 min

[summer lotus]

@opaque abyss so which of them you can see and which you cannot?

[opaque abyss]

Can't see ANY of them

[summer lotus]

so decision category issue?

[opaque abyss]

Possibly?

[summer lotus]

idk

[opaque abyss]

They're only supposed to be on the map

But nothing is showing up

[summer lotus]

normally the decision file is like

decision_category = {
decision = {

if you can't see anything, they might not be assigned to a category yet

[opaque abyss]

It's in a Category

[summer lotus]

also

can't you just send the whole file

not just a section of it

[summer lotus]

none of those decisions can appear since they are set to allowed = { always = no }, so they can only be activated from effect scope already, by GRP_check_states_to_integrate effect

but when I tried to search for GRP_check_states_to_integrate effect

I did not find any

[opaque abyss]

It's in here

[summer lotus]

that's only a scripted effect

you need to execute it from effect scope of a decision to activate the targeted decisions, no?

since you set it to allowed = { always = no }, you can never see them in the first place

[opaque abyss]

It's triggered from a focus

[summer lotus]

ah

[opaque abyss]

Focus is supposed to trigger GRP_check_states_to_integrate and that triggers the 3 decisions

But they don't seem to work

[summer lotus]

@opaque abyss load the game, do

eval_effect GRP_check_states_to_integrate = yes

if it doesn't work,

eval_effect ROOT = { every_owned_state = {
activate_targeted_decision = { target = THIS decision = GRP_integrate_state }
activate_targeted_decision = { target = THIS decision = GRP_crush_valkist_cells }
activate_targeted_decision = { target = THIS decision = GRP_ingratiate_government }
}

if you still doesn't work, replace all THIS with PREV

or is it FROM.FROM?

🤔

tbh it should be THIS

try also

click on a state

eval_effect activate_targeted_decision = { target = state_ID decision = GRP_integrate_state }

just breakdown the problem so you can find out which section is having the actual problem

[opaque abyss]

Hm

Nothing

[opaque abyss]

I found a solution

It's ugly as crap

But it works

[fervent pecan]

can someone help me mod my game with a mod in the 2000s

[warped wing]

What

[flat tinsel]

What if people make mods that are the same with DLCs?

That means we dont have to pay for DLC

[dreamy tundra]

This happend for Bo3 zombies lol

[flat tinsel]

?

[dreamy tundra]

Though I think paradox ain't gonna like that

[flat tinsel]

Wdym

[dreamy tundra]

So in cod bo3 zombies you had to pay for most maps to play them, but one guy recreated all the maps with the help of mods so that you don't have to pay

And simply could download from the workshop

As the same as the idea your proposing

[flat tinsel]

Oh ok

Im gonna search if there is any like the DLCs (FOR SCIENCE PURPOSE TOTALLY)

[gleaming edge]

Why does Germany look so green and pleasant

[tame hull]

there's also the hidden polish romanov path

[obtuse condor]

discord mass report sourcecode @here

[random robin]

Anyone here played the HOI4 Monument Mythos mod?

[restive wyvern]

Does anyone know a map mod that won't break on Cold War Iron Curtain?

[restive wyvern]

Why is it so large

[random robin]

Because it’s full of bs pop culture references rather than actual gameplay.

[green sentinel]

would violate paradox ToS, also if your mod uses GFX from DLCs or requires DLC-locked features you need to make it require that DLC

Which is why most total conversions that have things like custom ship designers, spy upgrades, MtG naval OOBs, etc. have to add both DLC and non-DLC versions

[flat tinsel]

Ok i looked at the workshop and there is non

[proven sable]

Do you just want new focus trees? There's plenty of those mods

[flat tinsel]

Leader is that you?
And no, i dont i was just curious

[charred sparrow]

anyone know a mod that could make EQ selling quicker to market?

[silent swallow]

So I don't believe that the dev of a mod (Pulchritudinious States: Beta) is active anymore and I want to use the map resources, can I do so with credit? (I tried to ask the dev)

[magic bay]

Different devs will say different things, so you should try to see if the dev responds

[spice cradle]

how do i increase the arms factory limit

[summer lotus]

go to defines.lua

wait

🤔

what limit

[spice cradle]

military factories

[spice cradle]

i wanna spam a lot

[silent swallow]

It has been more than a week and last message from dev in dms on steam was like a few months ago

apparently the dev there is in the Hoi4 modding den

[spice cradle]

so how do i do that

[lofty plaza]

[dull crystal]

nikolai sheepsliak will be a great leader for the sheepsland state (it controls byelorussia)

[summer lotus]

👀

[lofty plaza]

Lord Rizzington of Westrizzlia?

[spice cradle]

I changed the factory limit in the germany state file but it still hasn't increased in game

[dull crystal]

oh yeah heres the flag also

[lofty plaza]

Wdym?

By the way, there is a technical limit on factories. There comes a point where if there is too many the game will crash

[summer lotus]

Per state sth like 2000

it kinda freezes after that (might just need NASA computer to run)

for the whole country idk

Never tested

[lofty plaza]

Something like that

Just gets too much for the game to calculate

[tame hull]

do i need any special addons or can i just type a format pdx or whatecer

[raw rampart]

Damn Belarusian flag! Based

[final tinsel]

check common/buildings

you need to change the limit number of factories

BOTH in history file and buildings file matter the number of factories

[fluid compass]

does hoi4 state editor by "djufkenzi" still work?

[obtuse condor]

why is it getting deleted and deleted?

[vast helm]

they refuse to remove a portion of it that breaks our EULA

I won't go further as they are aware of the reasoning

deleting that but a portion of it yes

[obtuse condor]

I saw many mods that have it

[vast helm]

if you see them send them in a ticket and I can take a look, but they have to hafve proof attached to it

[obtuse condor]

ok

but why did you delete the word

is it that people gonna try to get the mod

or

[vast helm]

we just dont discuss that topic in the discord, is apart of rule 2

[obtuse condor]

ah

ok

dont want people to get riled up is all 🙂

Give a country a claim on another and they will probably justify a war

how to make a idea and it allow to create fraction

[hallow shuttle]

The mod is set around 1920, Austria-Hungary collapsed after signing an acceptable peace treaty with the British and Italians.

(Hungary lore is undecided but it will independent from Germany) Czechoslovakist, Polish and Communist uprisings destroy whats left of the Austrian Empire - The German Empire unites with the Austrian Empire and defeats the Czechoslovakist and Communist forces. Austria at the start of the mod is plagued by pro-austrian, communist and czech partizans

Hey guys

How can I update a mod?

I have a old one for reskin

but cant update and the owner seem to have abandoned the mod

[rose heath]

when you're at common/bookmarks
in the bookmarks you want to delete you need to leave "bookmarks = { }" and nothing else

this should delete them without causing errors

[timber zenith]

depends on what mod it is

[novel niche]

this one

[wintry geode]

Thoughts iyo?

[fading quartz]

anyone know any mods that add more national focuses and events? Mods like austria redone

i can remove beautiful states i just wanted a more states mod

[dry horizon]

oh

[timber zenith]

i'd recommend my states mod but i haven't updated that either lol

[dry horizon]

you know of one that adds more?

[timber zenith]

use pulchritudinous states

but that might be a lil too much

[dry horizon]

mm

any others?

[timber zenith]

satisfying states would be your best bet

[dry horizon]

okay then

[dry horizon]

does it add more or change things?

[timber zenith]

yeah it does some other stuff

releasables

[dry horizon]

seems to change historical

idc tho

i wanted to play as france and make natural borders so i dont care that much

lol

[timber zenith]

nah thats valid

[dry horizon]

its bothersome how the rhineland isnt split on the river

[timber zenith]

that and north dobrudja not existing was the whole reason i got into modding

yeah base hoi4 states are poor at best

Whats wrong with the file?

I want to make every state which is owned by prussia that is a core of poland to be transfered to france

Does anyone know how to add divisions to countries/provinces at game start?

[royal quartz]

That's in the OOB I think

[hallow shuttle]

whats that?

[royal quartz]

You know how when you go into a countries history file it says 'load OOB_1936" or something along those lines?

Those are just the divisions and their placement

i am getting bombarded with errors

[stuck quarry]

errors are normal aslong as the game still functions properly

my most recent mod i worked on had like 20k errors typically but worked fine

[somber orbit]

Man, I am disappointed.

I thought that if you forced the "Alternate Hitler" events you could keep him for Germany, but it forces him out for a generic.

Now I want a dumbass mod whose whole premise is him trying to balance 4 nations while pretending to be other people.

You know how like in some cartoons you have a character trying to pretend to be 2-3 people at once and swapping out costumes on the fly.

We need a mod that blends Greece, Germany, Argentina and the US together as one thing with goofy ah political events

"The Adventures of Adam Hilt" or something

[timber zenith]

that sounds awesome

[somber orbit]

I can do all the event/focus writing if I can get team together. That'd be fun as hell

[dull crystal]

im trying to figure out what mod to make

[daring timber]

I made an event where ai chooses to give land, but it doesn’t work

[obtuse condor]

Can an old version mod work with the latest hoi4 version?

[modest wraith]

can someone add more complicated navy?

[timber zenith]

you'd have to be more specific than that

[timber zenith]

depends on the mod

[daring timber]

Theres a modded national focus which triggers an event to a nation. That nation has 2 options, either to give land or smth else. The AI chooses that function, which triggers an event to the player nation. But the states aren’t transfered

[timber zenith]

could you send a screenshot of your code

[hallow shuttle]

Some mods do work

[elfin pecan]

I was playing as russia and accidentally became the crimean republic how tf do I go back

[high hatch]

Copy paste the vanilla bookmarks into your mod, open the text file, and delete everything. So it is a text file without 0 characters ^^'.

[obtuse condor]

will hoi4 lag if I add road to 56 if I use a bad PC?

[white flint]

go into console commands

type debug into console

hover over russia

youll see their tag (like in vanilla frances tag is fra or uk is eng) and then go into console and tye tag and then russias tag

youll switch to them

just make sure to turn debug off tho after youve switched back

or things will get wacky

How do I open console though

[heavy gull]

hi

it says in error log that province 34000 is lacking a state, strategic region and continent

but uh

there kinda... is no province 34000

not in definition.csv

not even in the map?

it doesn't seem to crash the game though

[timber zenith]

did the game create a definition file in the hoi4 documents folder?

[heavy gull]

nope

i tried creating province 34000 myself to see if that would fix it

but now province 34001 doesnt have a state, strategic region or state

[heavy gull]

any other possible thing that could be causing it?

[timber zenith]

so no map folder there either?

[heavy gull]

no

oh wait

i launched it again

it created it now

[timber zenith]

does that folder contain a fixed definition file?

[heavy gull]

yes

i deleted that color from the map a while ago though?

[timber zenith]

It may exist as a single pixel

if the game creates it, that means it's somewhere there

[heavy gull]

yes, i had found that single pixel and deleted it

[timber zenith]

hopefully that should work

[heavy gull]

i did that quite a bit ago though?

[timber zenith]

ohh mb

i don't know what software you use but it might be worth searching for that colour's hex code in the image

[heavy gull]

paint.net

the sound that the debug dog makes unsettles me

[timber zenith]

lol

[heavy gull]

i dont think you can do that in paint.net though

[heavy gull]

ah, fixed it

that one pixel i deleted was correct

just forgot to save the .bmp

ah yeah ive done that too

is there anything else easy to research other than the 1790/1800s in usa wikipedia pages

companies founded then and cities founded then?

mod progress

any reccomendations on the national focus?

[obtuse condor]

I got a weird one,a different path to achieve a unification with russia

Its kinda stupid tho to think about

[orchid osprey]

mutually_exclusive = { focus = UKR_approach_eastern }

why isnt it working

bruh

[pseudo yacht]

what is the best ww1 mod?

[normal quest]

I played Hoi4 for like 24 hours total

and I am trying to play millenium dawn

Shit , this is so cool

[rose heath]

I'm doing an actual Europe-Only mod
its main goal will be simulating vanilla hoi4 while running as fast as possible

I'll have to:
Define all 5300+ provinces on this image (Color, Terrain, Land/Water, etc), assign them to states, name the states, assign things to states (factories, population, victory points, cores, etc), fix all focuses that have anything to do with provinces or states (Every demand, Every targetted state development, Every Formable, Every misc stuff like assigning civil war terrain, etc), fix Ai because it has a lot of things related to specific provinces, and make a balanced way to simulate external countries like USA, Japan, and Ethiopia.

All of that, because i want to make casual vanilla multiplayer game more bearable when it comes to performance and desyncs. (Games will be faster, desync less, etc)

I actually tried making this map in a few different ways, but i think doing this by copy pasting the map like this would prove most effective
which also makes it so i probably should wait for the new DLC to avoid pointless work like working on Germany, only for it to be completely reworked

if i ever manage to finish it (given my consistency of finishing projects it is unlikely) i plan to make it open for other people to use for their mods

[lofty plaza]

That's a cool looking mod

[stuck quarry]

Does anyone know if i can change the weather using a effect?

i dont see anything in the wiki, but im not sure if i missed it or if its just not possible

but i wana set the world into a eternal winter using a effect

[summer lotus]

nah we don't enough support code for it

but you actually can apply it as an one time effect

though I never tried it

just province = { weather_name = yes }

but I might need to test whether it actually works

cuz they haven't used weather effect since 2017

[timber zenith]

it took Magna Europa: Reloaded about 5 months to fix focus/event etc. issues alone

I know that cause it was mostly me doing that part

so I wish you the best of luck

The Collapse of Russia

This is a result of recent political turmoil

iirc ukraine collapses russia

[stuck quarry]

does replace path just not do anything for anyone sometime? i did replace path on common/bookmarks but the base game bookmarks still showed ingame

[timber zenith]

realistic

[timber zenith]

did you add the replace path to both descriptors

[stuck quarry]

Im an idiot

I forgot there was two smh

[rose heath]

Sounds like a ton of work
Though my mod would be closer to vanilla when it comes to states and provinces, so idk if it would be that horrible since i really only have to swap the numbers in focuses and events

[timber zenith]

It would probably be similar, since you can't use the existing states and province numberings, as they have to start from zero and be in order

[wintry geode]

Who else could have realistically taken power in 1799?

in franc

what would be a good althistory path another revolutionary other than napoleon

[rose heath]

well i know, but i'd simply check the corresponding number
like "Demand Sudetenland"
i just have to check which state of mine is sudetenland
and that's it

well i mean
I guess i'll see

this mod would be really time consuming regardless

[deft swan]

Is there any mods that make the game simpler for new players (I'm stupid)

[rose heath]

not really
but you can play some simple overhaul mods

i don't recommend it, you'll learn more playing the base game
but you can play Hearts of Minecraft since it's easier and simpler

on bro

[wintry geode]

will this section of the focus tree become available?

when it becomes 1800?

[timber zenith]

No

it would only be available if you selected a start date between 1800 and 1936

[wintry geode]

when what do i put there to make it available 1800 regardless of start date?

date > 1800.1.1?

[timber zenith]

you can use date > 1800.1.1 however you'd need to reload the focus tree on that exact date as well

you can set up an on_yearly on action to do that

wait that doesn't exist

you'd have to use on_monthly

[wintry geode]

i put mark focus tree layout as dirty

with the focus before the 1800 branch

[timber zenith]

that works if you take the focus after 1800

[wintry geode]

i made it 1799 then instead

[timber zenith]

since the focus tree needs to be reloaded after the allow_branch trigger is met

ok

[wintry geode]

ah thanks it works

[wintry geode]

set_convoys = 10

do i just put this in focuses if i want to give convoys?

Retire Herman Goring, Rudolf Hess, etc

Should I have mentioned I am using Goring and Hess for factions in a civil war? And the Communist guy and Himmler

Well just have it apply to the remaining nazi officials and maybe generals

But make the decision drop stability and raise fascist support

Any idea?

[wintry geode]

how do i make so it can also get triggered if a french ally or subject controlls venice?

[summer lotus]

state_id = { controller = { OR = {

[wintry geode]

is_subject is_ally right?

its on the hoi4 modding wii

[wintry geode]

This should work right?

[gleaming edge]

I've been at this for like a week at this point I'm willing to pay someone if they manage to fix it

[fast valve]

Can you modify formulas? And if so, how?

[jolly mural]

Only the input variables, not the code itself

[fast valve]

Dang, I wanted to make a fighter rework mod to add T2W into the air combat equation

I suppose if I tweak the bonus values I could still make it work but part of the problem is air attack is super unrealistic in how it’s modeled right now

[jolly mural]

You can add custom modules, and change the defines for air combat, but not how the code calculated it. Its in the source files

[fast valve]

Gotcha, thanks! I think I can work with that

[wintry geode]

still doesnt work

dont know what im doing wrong

[bronze crystal]

are there any modding tutorials that even a dumb brain like me could understand

[mellow crescent]

Would a mod that only pauses on notification if at 5 speed be possible?

[silent swallow]

How would I change the time it takes to complete a focus?

[wintry geode]

cost =

[wintry geode]

cost = 4.3

is 30 days

[silent swallow]

How do I figure out everything else though\

All other times ^

[wintry geode]

cost = 10 is 70 days

cut that in half you got 35

[silent swallow]

So it's cost, c*7= Time

Nice

[wintry geode]

yeah

[silent swallow]

I get to do math

So I can tell everybody I do math everyday

Thank you!

[eager holly]

[wintry geode]

Great War Redux is looking amazing

[long dew]

Does anyone know how to mod on Linux without the steam workshop

My launcher broke and I just want to play kaiserreich

[obtuse condor]

how do i change a countrys leader in hoi4?

(custom portrait, custom name)

[strong forge]

@sterile ingot privet

@hardy garnet

[stiff zodiac]

where do i find these leaders portraits

[spare wraith]

Hey guys. what's the best mod in your opinion

?

[crystal folio]

Play as all your favorite characters from JoJo’s part 2! Renames existing leaders so it is 100% achievement compatible https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3318852149

[stiff zodiac]

Okay so i want to replace dlc leaders portraits how do i do that pls help me

[stuck quarry]

Alot of googling and searching through vanilla hoi files to figure out how to do things

[uncut roost]

Help me

[gusty gulch]

Thoughts? Singleplayer and Multiplayer buttons are WIP. We're debating on what to do with them

[obtuse condor]

anybody can send me FRA_neutrality normal flag .tga file? cuz i broke mine

nvm

[delicate atlas]

Hi all, wondering what the premiere mods for Hoi4 are. I know Kaiserreich is usually #1, I’ve also heard things about Thousand Week Reich and Great War Redux, are those of similar quality?

[nimble solar]

I don't think Thousand Week Reich has been updated yet.

Great War Redux really captures the trench warfare feel of the game and is decently made

Road to 56 is one of the mods of all time and is decent

The New Order is an interactive novel and is in my opinion overrated.

Millennium Dawn is a feature bloated snoozefest

Kaiserredux is kaiserreich but much wackier

[obsidian swallow]

GWR is actually pretty damn amazing and TWR is just TNO but runs so much smoother and has less reading and is a much more interesting scenario
They both are actually pretty close seconds to KR in my opinion

[crystal folio]

Check the dlc folder in the game’s folders (should be at the same level as the gfx folder) for the dlc files you want to replace. I dont think copying the file structure is 100% necessary for modding dlc things. Dlc or not I had all my mod’s portraits in the same gfx folder and it worked fine for me.

[stuck quarry]

this is possibly a stupid question and im sure the answer is probably no, but can i use numbers in nation tags? or does it have to be letters

[molten furnace]

TNO is my personal favorite by far

Does require for you to have a higher reading level than a 4th grader

[vagrant folio]

This mode is really great

It's my favorite mode of achievement compatibility

Any tips for a total overhaul mod

Hello Hoi4 Andorra fans, I have come here to bless you with two of the political paths for the upcoming Andorra mod: The communist path and the Catalanist path. Have a great day!

[timber zenith]

get a team as chances are you can't do it on your own

there's far too much stuff you'd need to do

and also if it's your first time seriously modding total overhaul might be too ambitious, it would be better off to start with something small

[stuck quarry]

I agree with everything Kong said, im working on a overhaul mod with a entirely new scenario and everything and i got a team of 3 to work on it

And we expect to have something playable in idk about a year or so

And thats even being ambitious

[obtuse condor]

Hello guys, im in a bit of a pickle
Im trying to make a mod with a custom map, ive perfectly followed this tutorial step by step and everything seemed correct until i started the game with my mod, but it keeps crashing, and he mentions something that whenevr you crash and if you have this error cord you need to fix the province map, but eventhough my hoi4 is on -debug on properties on steam, it doesnt give me that super long pop up thing when it crashes, it just tells me to report how it crashed

[silent swallow]

It's hard to find a team (atleast for free)

[pale sparrow]

People wanna help, but people with limited experience making a total overhaul is a horrible project to join

[silent swallow]

Im good with alot of the things I have in mind, like focuses and stuff

[pale sparrow]

I see

[silent swallow]

So I am not bad or have limited experience

The only problem I think is there is alot to do especially in the realm of history files

[mortal token]

The King’s Man mod?

[silent swallow]

huh

[abstract hawk]

Thanks

So basically

It's a mod for OWB

It specifically is a tech mod

To add in some extra stuff for the infantry tree

[pale sparrow]

map is usually more work

while coming up with content is probably the top time cost

which is why I mostly adjust existing content

[silent swallow]

So since I am most likely not able to get a team of sorts, how would I do that, I was working on a smaller germany scale mod but I don't know if I wanna continue that over a scenario mod

[bright nova]

please make it so that for_each_loop, for_loop_effect, etc dont function as auto hidden effects paradox 🙏

itd be nice if i could define a custom effect tt in them

[honest zodiac]

i fear no modding, but gui and map modding, it scares me

i hate gui modding

guys how do i make the parties attached to the box above?

gui modding is so painful

I have a question, if i make mods like kr or tno level of popularity, do i have any possiblity of joining paradox?
just a thought

[stuck quarry]

Well yes and no

Ig it really depends on the mod

And how interested people are in it

Like my mod we’re rewriting history from 1850-modern day in a post apocalyptic dieselpunk style ice age and we’ve so fad had probably around 10 people volunteer to help

Tho that was at the beginning of the year when we were working on a older version of the mod that went into hiatus due to irl conflicts, we’ve sense started from scratch on it and are doing aight with 3 people
