Would anyone know how to fix this issue?

[rotund venture]

anyone knows a good medival mod ?

[silent swallow]

Is this a german stereotype mod?

[balmy lichen]

This is in the base game, in the german ai strategy file

[silent swallow]

oh-

[ashen mural]

is that the only reason?

[ashen mural]

it was

how can i fix this tho?

[north wave]

gonna fix the modifier soon

[timber zenith]

likely you've got the state names loc file in your documents folder

[ashen mural]

I don’t think so,ima look

[silent swallow]

Hoi4 modding den says Newly-added localisation values in 1.13 commonly omit the version number, such as STATE_111_SWE: "Nyland". The nudger interprets that as a version of negative one, and writes it as STATE_111_SWE:-1 "Nyland" instead. The game only expects numeric characters as the version number, so it breaks the rest of the file with an error of Expected quotation mark ("). If you're using the base game's localisation file that contains such values, this will break it. Make sure to remove any negative ones in the nudger's localisation outputs, preferably swapping them with any non-negative integer number. Or if you want, just delete the files in the documents> paradox interactive, and make your own files for states without nudge

Hello, I was wondering if theres anyway to change the Main menu"s location to probably like the bottom right corner or such?

[hardy scaffold]

which command?

plz tell me

[eager holly]

Idk search online

[ashen mural]

how can i mod it so a country starts in a civil war?

or easier

how can i do it so a country starts in a war (like italy with ethiopia)

[eager holly]

You exist out the current saved game than back to ur load

Click Italy or Ethiopia than justify war goal

[ashen mural]

uhhh? in which folder and whihc file?

[eager holly]

Do u wish to make a country starts a civil war at the beginning of the game?

[ashen mural]

well yes but normal war is enough and honestly easier for me

[eager holly]

Uhhh

I don’t think I got it

Can u explain it more clearly

Sorry

[ashen mural]

when you start a hoi4 game italy starts at war with ethiopia

how can i do that but with other countries?

[eager holly]

A easier way to do it is by entering the game immediately than give commands for having two nation on war goal

But if ur asking abt coding on files

[ashen mural]

yeah but i need it to be a mod
not a command

[ashen mural]

yes

[eager holly]

Oh

I’m not sure how to exactly but check on the initial files of heart of iron 4 might give u some clues.

Sorry that’s all Ik, I thought of smt else

[ashen mural]

ima try

[eager holly]

Not sure if this is wat ur looking for but I found it on a inspiration file

namespace = my_custom_events

picture = "GFX_report_event_german_civil_war"

trigger = {
    GER = {
        has_government = fascism
    }
    SPR = {
        has_government = communism
    }
}

immediate = {
    GER = {
        civil_war = {
            ideology = "communism"
            size = 0.5
        }
    }
    SPR = {
        civil_war = {
            ideology = "fascism"
            size = 0.5
        }
    }
}

option = {
    name = "The world is changing..."
    ai_chance = {

    }

}

I’m not sure if this is the file ur looking for. But good luck

Could you make a picture of the German focus tree please

[wintry geode]

theres no hre focus yet

theres austrian and prussian focus trees albeit they are really incomplete

[fervent locust]

I mean like the normal focus tree of 1936

[wintry geode]

(focus tree is a little changed)

since i got my mod on

[fervent locust]

Thank you bro

[bitter mantle]

Hi guys, I'm trying to make a puppet focus tree show up for the puppets of specific nations as soon as they are puppeted, but I'm forced to use reload focus to make it appears. Yet I filled in the file with the necessary effects (load_focus_tree = cartelpo_nf)

[eager holly]

I hope in the future someone can make an audio mod which include the voice of a historical person talking when there was an event

Like H!lter’s speech when the invasion of Poland started or the speech of Stalin . Even more play the Anthems of a nation after smt

[timber zenith]

there's the "Decisions: Speeches Audio" mod but it hasn't been updated in a while

and also the allied speeches pack DLC which activates on certain triggers/decisions iirc

[radiant jewel]

Does it still work with current versions or would you need to update it yourself

[timber zenith]

judging by the comments it doesn't work but I haven't played it myself

always worth trying it out for yourself

there is also https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2644935365 which appears to be an "updated" version

[sacred ibex]

Hey im trying to mod the focus tree of germany (the alternative Waking the tiger path) where can i find the dlc focus tree path

[timber zenith]

it's in the same file as the regular focus tree

[sacred ibex]

in fact it isnt

my focus tree file only has the non dlc option

[dull crystal]

the logo for my upcoming mod ‘chidus’

[timber zenith]

I'm not sure what you mean by option

[sacred ibex]

nvm i found it

i just had to scroll down

my bad

[timber zenith]

all good

[sacred ibex]

nvm

@timber zenith

i have a visual strudio plugin so it shows the focus tree

but i cant see the dlc one only the default can you maybe help me out with that

[timber zenith]

I've never used the plugin unfortunately

[sacred ibex]

ok

im gonna look for a solution online

[timber zenith]

are you opening just the file tho? if you open the whole folder it should show icons etc

that might help

[sacred ibex]

i opened the file in visual studio

nvm i found out why

ive been looking for a solution for almost 2 hours

i had the checkmark waking the tiiger off

💀

[dull crystal]

Do yall recommend any fonts for the countries

[fossil cradle]

it is even possible to add a custom color for text? The wiki says to add on core.gfx but the color is never right
[23:12]
uses rgb or any other type?

[green sentinel]

did anyone see the Chinese government tried to get the Cold War mod taken down

because they didn't show some stupid little island as a Chinese core but Japanese instead (it's Japanese territory)

Guess all developers are losing -10000 social credits

[orchid osprey]

making an event that makes countries independent, but it takes up too much space

example

immediate = {
# Ukraine Indepence
202 = { transfer_state_to = UKR }

[timber zenith]

put it as a hidden effect

using the hidden_effect scope

and you can also use the every_state scope with a limit of regions/states to make it look neater

ie

every_state = {
  limit = {
    OR = {
      region = 11
      region = 13
      state = 111
      state = 121
    } 
  }
  transfer_state_to = TAG
}```

but perhaps in that specific case release_on_controlled = UKR might be easier

[orchid osprey]

what do i use region = for

Or release_on_controlled = UKR is going to do the same thing but without many lines?

[timber zenith]

they're strategic regions, so using that applies to all states within that strategic region

[timber zenith]

pretty much, since you're doing it for a tag thats probably the easiest way

[orchid osprey]

that doesnt work

[orchid osprey]

is it because of the civil war being executed first?

[timber zenith]

potentially

if you do just release = UKR it should work

(that would include states not controlled by russia for obvious reasons, but that doesn't appear to be an issue in this case)

[orchid osprey]

it still doesnt work, only the civil war works

However it does talk about releasing countries

[timber zenith]

could I see your event code?

[orchid osprey]

news_event = {
id = news.412
title = news.412.t
desc = news.412.d
picture = GFX_moscow_tanks

immediate = {
    # Civil War
start_civil_war = {
ideology = democratic
size = 0.5
states = all
states_filter = {
    is_on_continent = europe
    is_capital = no
}
set_country_flag = SOV_democracy
# Sets a country flag that gets used in a country tag alias.

}
# Republic Indepence
release = UKR
release = BLR
release = MOL
release = LIT
release = LAT
release = EST

    # Civil War
start_civil_war = {
ideology = democratic
size = 0.5
states = all
states_filter = {
    is_on_continent = europe
    is_capital = no
}
set_country_flag = SOV_democracy
# Sets a country flag that gets used in a country tag alias.
    }
    
major = yes

is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
    name = news.412.a
}

}

might bit be a little messy

wait

i accidentally put 2 civil wars

works this time

Just to show where it crashes at i dont know how itll help though-

[high hatch]

Hi everyone. I have a little question:
I want if the operation (spy, "La Resistance") fail to kill the operative (of the ROOT country), but the game say it is incorrect the syntax. Any idea?

outcome_extra_execute = {
 # Failure
 kill_operative = PREV
}

[dull crystal]

i tried adding the west indies federation but wont let me add the leader portrait and the name

[high hatch]

Maybe you forget to recruit the character, or your character have a error?

[dull crystal]

also includes the country name for some reason not being added

[high hatch]

For first, the lines are commented #

Second, it is only one /

[dull crystal]

whats the correct way

[high hatch]

In a common\characters\WIF_characters.txt (or any name), you should have something like this:

characters = {
    WIF_jonas_lote = {
        name = "Jonas Lote"
        gender = male
        portraits = {
            civilian = {
                large = "gfx/leaders/WIF/Portrait_Africa_Generic_2.dds"
            }
            army = {
                large = "gfx/leaders/WIF/Portrait_Africa_Generic_2.dds"
            }
        }
        country_leader = {
            ideology = centrism
            expire = "1965.1.1"
            traits = { 
                #reluctant_interventionist
            }
        }
    }
}

how does this look to everyone? i still need to add the mod name but overall i think it looks pretty good the AI art is a placeholder because my team currently doesnt have the budget to comission any custom art

[magic bay]

Pretty decent, just need some real art that fits with whatever theme your going for
Also, if you don't want to commission any custom art, you could try recolouring a photo

[stuck quarry]

maybe

theres also this

we couldnt really find any good existing art that fit the theme of "eternal winter"

I guess it is by focus, so we can't do anything... Except to not allow the focus...

theres not any focuses for them to join an ottoman faction

like what? extremely small

[lost geyser]

Like, for example, CA ships not getting their appropriate bonuses as capital ships

[pale sparrow]

if its part of a large tree it takes up more space for no gain

[pale sparrow]

I dont think you can even fix that

Modifiers are applied by hull, and light and heavy cruisers share the same hull

[proper acorn]

I won't expand my tree
I plan to start a civil war, so the tree will change

[pale sparrow]

Personally I think it looks silly :xd:

[lost geyser]

so again PDX makes dlc that doesn't even function correctly with their own improvements 👌

[pale sparrow]

[lost geyser]

spaghetti coooooode, spaghetti coooooode~

[rose heath]

just make a hoi5
stop putting more junk into this broken game

imagine hoi4 but there isn't an unpatchable exploit for everything

i'm pretty sure you can still get unlimited manpower can't you

[lost geyser]

I'd say probably 2028 will be hoi5

[rose heath]

probably something like that
though given how much more popular the game keeps getting, i'd say 2030+

hoi4 would have to fall off now for us to get a hoi5 in 2028

[lost geyser]

I feel like they'd want to develop a new engine

[rose heath]

i hope they do
if they don't then there is no point in hoi5

[lost geyser]

I'd put money on dev cycle being 2026 to start work on the engine

[rose heath]

do all other paradox game still use the same engine

new engine is a very expensive thing to develop

[lost geyser]

they're probably going to ride vic3 and milk stellaris more

[rose heath]

i heard stellaris has the same multiplayer problems as hoi4

i feel like paradox games squeeze the engine to its absolute limits

[lost geyser]

hopefully they realize that the subscription model only works if people don't realize that they can own everything in <2 years

if i cared about stellaris at all anymore i'd probably sub for the dlc, cause forget buying that mess at top price

[pale sparrow]

Thats too fast

[pale sparrow]

Tbf CK3 has multithreading if I remember correctly, progress

[lost geyser]

You think they'll do 17 years like hoi3->hoi4?

[pale sparrow]

It overheated my video card also because the game is poorly designed

I still find it insane that your CK3 savegame will become literally bricked if you have a big lategame crusade

[lost geyser]

I feel like 12 years is good because of how popular hoi4 continues to be, they could announce dev for hoi5.

And do a presale bonus that includes a perpetual coupon for 50% off sub fee for hoi4

that will give them a revenue stream that isn't a complete rip off for the community

[rose heath]

i just want paradox games to not slow down as they progress, and work well in multiplayer

[lost geyser]

It does feel like 3 steps forward and two steps back, yeah

[rose heath]

also hoi5 is gonna be difficult to monetize

you'd want hoi5 to have all the stuff hoi4 has

but then once you do that, what else do you add

you aren't going to have the big NO STEP BACK epic soviet update, if they have their content from the start

they could add ahistorical paths with DLCs, but mods exist, and people literally could just design them themselves

[quasi meadow]

Yo someone pls help me, I'm trying to make my first mod but it is not doing what it's meant to, I asked @wintry geode but he didn't know

[lost geyser]

what are you trying to do

[lost geyser]

this is the problem with the country packs that are literally $15 mods

[rose heath]

yeah but sometimes they're decent mods
hoi4 DLCs are not worth the price, but some at least make your game better

TOA is 12$ for the ability to unite south america essentially

[lost geyser]

hoi5 would likely need to have MOST of hoi4 mechanics/funcitonality

maybe not all the same dlc content from the get go but like

bba, mtg, nsb, all base game functional

and aat

[distant saddle]

Made a Ring World map for fun

[lost geyser]

Feels like I'm looking at Factorio

[rose heath]

imagine the lag

[rose heath]

Hoi4 devs after introducing ChatGPT hitler in hoi5

https://tenor.com/view/peace-tony-stark-marvel-robert-downey-jr-applause-gif-14738930

imagine for 50pp you could send a letter to an Ai and it would react accordingly

would be insanely hard to implement, and probably very exploitable, but imagine telling hitler he's stinky

i'd pay 15$ for a DLC like that

Mr hitler if you give me all of your guns i will exchange that for multiple states of mine

guns get sent

SIKE

and then you invaid him, and he has no guns

peak gameplay

[distant saddle]

LLMs are very resource heavy if you run them locally
And using an API would cost Paradox way more money than the feature would be worth

[rose heath]

yes it is insanely unrealistic
but imagine sending a message to Hitler telling him his plan step by step, and telling him about his own defeat and death

bro did anschluss, too bad i told him that the secret operation he's planning will fail, and he'll shot himself on this exact day, and this exact hour

Hitler in 1943 when he realizes i was right

[jade roost]

bro whats wrong

why does this not work

nvm im stupid i got it to work

[lost geyser]

peak gameplay would be having the surrender button actually work as something you can offer the AI to cap to you

or have yesman being baseline in most games

[rose heath]

90% of modding questions be like

Why doesn't this work?
nobody answers
Okay, i figured it out

[jade roost]

because its just the game being stupid

idk what i did to make it work

it just randomly did

[rose heath]

Sure but ww2 was mostly a fight to the death with neither side wanting to cap
The inability to surrender hurts ahistorical, but it doesn't change historical much, apart from the inability for ger to white peace britain, or at least US after dominating mainland europe
If you cap the British the americans should surrender, since either side fighting is realistically impossible

[jade roost]

the americans have a way to land on mainland europe, but i do agree that you not being able to offer peace terms is kind of ridiculous

[lost geyser]

Me, capping all of europe, not being able to tell the USA to cut their losses and white peace out, is stupid

[dull crystal]

help why do most countries have no names

[summer lotus]

dead loc

I can see that only countries with a starting cosmetic tag has a name

but the name.DEF is still lost on British Raj

just go through l_english.yml for countries

[dull crystal]

ok

[dull crystal]

does this cause the problem?

i did these for a country i was adding for a mod but the country name doesnt show up

[summer lotus]

try releasing WLA and see if they have a name

or just setowner WLA on any state

[dull crystal]

ok

[summer lotus]

or set_cosmetic_tag TAG WLA

first tag being your own

if they have name, the later section is a problem

idk, I don't have the full file

the problem could be anywhere

if you want to self-diagnose, just break it down

test section by section to identify the one that works or doesn't work

[fierce siren]

Is there a good or any mod of ww1?

[dull crystal]

welsh argentina doesnt have a name

[summer lotus]

yeah the entire loc file has a problem

just check from the start

send the file here tbh

[dull crystal]

countries_l_english.yml?

[summer lotus]

yeah just send it

[dull crystal]

k

[dull crystal]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=699709023

[fierce siren]

Your a good man

[summer lotus]

ok, create a new yml file in your mod folder, separate the added section from the og file and move it to the mod file

they actually have different encoding huh, the one I downloaded from you and the one in the og folder

[dull crystal]

alright

do i keep the og file and make a new yml file JUST for the country i added?

[summer lotus]

yea

[dull crystal]

alright

i named it countries modded.yml

[summer lotus]

I can't pinpoint the exact problem yet because I haven't run a debug (since I can't)

but just try to separate them

[dull crystal]

ok

didnt work

probably because of the yml's name

[summer lotus]

Just test each part of your mod individually

Or like

Removing each of them

[magic bay]

Great War Redux is the best one tbh

[grizzled salmon]

The Great War Redux

is best one

[fierce siren]

Is it just on the Steam community?

[hallow shuttle]

Great war redux is also a good ww1 mod

[hallow shuttle]

It will work if you just put it in the regular countries text file

[hallow shuttle]

Then they shouldnt have added the button in the game

[summer lotus]

it did not

but I think the problem is elsewhere anyway

I don't have his folder so it is hard to diagnose

[rose heath]

it can still be used between players i guess

idk if i ever encountered Ai willing to accept it though

maybe...? though this practically never happens

[prisma marten]

do you mind sending over the whole mod folder so i can inspect it?

[prisma marten]

"for fun"

[hallow shuttle]

If what youre doing is adding a tag to the game then it will work, but idk what hea trying to do

[topaz ingot]

how long will steam take to approve a mod i just uploaded .its my first time

[sour vigil]

how can i change the owner of the state

[distant saddle]

States & strategic regions done

[stuck quarry]

Massive respect to those who know how to make custom maps

I cant even edit the map to add in a new city without breaking things

[stuck quarry]

Which way do you mean? When the game starts? Or when you complete a focus/decision or something

To change who owns it when the game starts you can find the states history file and change the owner there

For a effect youd use “transfer_state = TAG” in the state scope to change who owns the state

[timid pine]

Hello Guys,
For some reason all my mods are showing that they're missing a descriptor file and I don't know how to fix it.
can someone maybe help me with that? its pretty frustrating

thanks in advance

[fervent cove]

Hey

Does anyone know how can i change the nationality of every character of certain country to another?

i tried using the every_character

and set_nationality

but it didnt work

[pale sparrow]

thats the launcher being shit probably, try removing these files

[wintry geode]

What do i do here?

im trying to research for a spanish 30 day focus tree

i researched with the 1789-1799 in spain and spanish colonies

but theres still 35 empty focuses

do i make the later focuses 70 day focuses?

there were no spanish language pages for anything

idk what else i could look into to add stuff to 5-35 more of the 1789-1800 spanish branch

[stuck quarry]

first dual leaders for the first nation in my mod

HOW DO YOU ADD THE RED BITS FOR HOI4 FOCUS WARNING STUFF

[timber zenith]

warning stuff?

what does that mean

[white plover]

why do they look like fortnite characters

im prob just stupid

[stuck quarry]

Im more stupid, for some reason i read that as “fortnite crackers”

[summer lotus]

coloured loc

wiki has probably covered this part

[stuck quarry]

i balkanized ireland

[stuck quarry]

is there any reason compliance and resistance would be showing on a cored state at the beginning of the game?

[stuck quarry]

nvm i fixed it, i was missing a scripted trigger

[prisma marten]

how did you manage to do that>

[timber zenith]

reverse engineering the other mods with 2 leaders probably

it's kinda trendy rn

[stuck quarry]

Nah theres a doc with a gothub woth the fual leaders mechanic there to just copy paste into your mod

[lofty plaza]

AI portraits go crazy

[timber zenith]

where do you think they got it from

https://github.com/Globvs/hoi4dualleaders

this is it btw for anyone Wondering

[lofty plaza]

§

[stuck quarry]

Well ya, just saying it wasn’t reverse engineering anything

[stuck quarry]

Theyre finee

[prisma marten]

its.... 4 years old?

also @timber zenith what is the secret stuff in the magna europa mod

[timber zenith]

huh time flies

[timber zenith]

don't worry about it hehehehe

[prisma marten]

no i want to know

i NEED to know

i activated it and it seems nothing happened

[timber zenith]

it's a secret 🙂

[prisma marten]

pls

[prisma marten]

i will see it in the files

ok im confused

what is RULE_OPTION_SECRET_ENABLED

[wooden verge]

How do i fix this (hope you can understand it)

I was messing with the code a bit around the German focus tree extension (translating it for myself) and this happened

[wintry geode]

is there a clear cut answer to how much an extra 100 states in a mod will affect performance?

[sand summit]

why wont my focuses connect?

[wooden verge]

Do you have “reform_the_empire” as a prerequisite to “placeholder”?

[timber zenith]

not much

states themselves don't really cause lag, but there is somewhat of a correlation

such as having more tags, releasables, factories etc

[timber zenith]

that's what happens when you enable it 🙂

secret

[wintry geode]

so what you are saying is i should give every country a -50-90% construction debuff iyo?

[timber zenith]

you could do that if you want your games to go on much longer

but it might be easier to just increase the building cost instead

[stuck quarry]

almost done, so many states

[sturdy herald]

I mean a smooth animation when occupying tiles just like in steel division the game have smooth border animation search for it on youtube and you will understand me

[silent swallow]

Like eastory style

[sturdy herald]

exactly

[silent swallow]

Maybe make every province a pixel?

[sturdy herald]

yeah but it will lag the game ig

also it will take a lot of time

to draw

[wintry geode]

the mod is going to run like butter now imo

or like Wagyu beef Tallow

[silent swallow]

Why is "The 18th century" an idea

[wintry geode]

so the countries cant spam factories

[rotund cairn]

Could someone help me here?
This is the first time I've tried to create a mod for Hoi4 and it seems like I've already started doing something wrong.
I followed the tutorial on the official Hoi4 channel, this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuIycVRxrO4

The game recognizes that I have my mod installed in the game, but the event never happens. I left the game running for a while because it might take a few days in the game to happen, but nothing happened.

And when I tried to use the console command to force the event, it says it can't find an event with a specific ID.

[summer lotus]

have you tried to debug?

send me the event txt file btw

I mean

drop it here

I'll take a look

[rotund cairn]

my game start with debug, but i dont know exactly how to use, on the botton right show i have some errors, but when i click on that icon, he just disappears and nothing else happens

here both files

as i said, i did 1:1 with the video tutorial

[stuck quarry]

balkanized UK

[proper acorn]

this error is because of other mods

the version is on line 6 and the error is saying it is on line 9

[proper acorn]

My UK

😭

[stuck quarry]

yea hoi4 shows incompatible version errors for mods you dont even have enabled for some reason

[proper acorn]

👍

[nimble solar]

Democratic: No Elections

[stuck quarry]

im still working on it lol

[nimble solar]

I know, still funny to see

[stuck quarry]

election lmao

[nimble solar]

I love democracy

[stuck quarry]

adding more cringe to the UK replacement

i have no idea if ill actually keep this, as idk if itll make any sort of sense, i just thought it was kinda cool

[kind jay]

Idk what Im doing wrong, but i cant load the mod alongside the KR Mod

[stuck quarry]

is there a way to make minor nations show in a bookmark even if they dont have a custom focus tree

[pale sparrow]

see error log, itll probably say something

[sonic obsidian]

Hi everyone, i do mod and i don't know why picture in my country of leader don't work

why am I losing fuel when I dont even have a navy

I tried destroying my entire navy (saved game)

and it still goes down

yet there is nothing supposed to make it drop?

this is in MD btw

is it another scenario mod?

goodluck anyway

[sour vigil]

how can i add increasing party popularity growth in national spirit modifier

[dull crystal]

i did even before i made the seperate yml file because it doesnt work, same for the seperate one

[knotty tide]

hello

ill be making a GIANT MOD

called HOI4 MULTI MOD

ill add a lot of new RL units templates tech and equipment

[sour vigil]

how can i trigger an event with focus but the event is triggered by another country

?

[lofty plaza]

I'm doing the same thing in rt56. I'm just making it a US style system with the supportive and opposition MPs. Mostly due to the fact that Britain had no elections during the games period, and that the individual parties don't really matter in order to represent it

Even if there was an election event I will just make it so supportive and opposition are swapped

[rotund cairn]

where i can find the error logs?

[tall hare]

is it possible to make secret paths if so how?

[dull crystal]

i could publish the mod to the steam workshop

otherwise i can give you a zip file of the folder

[stuck quarry]

Sweet, im not sure what id do with this, i had figured i could require a certain number of seats for different focuses or lock expansion/integration decisions behind it but im not sure if ill actually end up using it

[stuck quarry]

Idrk what kinda mod it counts as, but the base of it is the world is frozen, a majority of the world has collapsed with citizens flocking to large population centers (well the ones who survived)

And youre tryna manage your country to not collapse and die and in some cases try to expand back out to reclaim your old lands

[sand locust]

how would i modify a design company

specifically i want to change the amount of political power it uses

is that in the defines or is there a specific common/design company folder

[wintry geode]

does research significantly slow down mods?

i would feel like thats why EOANB and Millennium dawn are so slow

[grizzled salmon]

maybe

millenium dawns research and like everythings trees r massive

[dull crystal]

@summer lotus localisation file

[rotund cairn]

I uninstalled the game completely using Revo uninstaller and installed it again, maybe it was a problem with the game itself, maybe this will work now

[pale sparrow]

You better not be paying for that software

[rotund cairn]

im not

[haughty crypt]

Hello guys, i have this completion reward in my focus, but it does nothing in game, why?

[rotund cairn]

same thing, but now, from 5 errors to 26???

and if i click on this, like a did, he just disappears

i follow the same tutorial from the official hoi4 channel on yt

[dull crystal]

im creating lore for my mod, i created a flag for a ‘Trenton Pact’ established in 2007, 2 years after the Second American Civil War

i decided to go with the ugly flag design because why not

[stuck quarry]

it should open a notepad

[stuck quarry]

also errors dont really matter

my mod currently has over 1500 errors at any given time

[rotund cairn]

it opens like this, the error on the screen says "the system cannot find the specified path"

[rotund cairn]

So I don't know why my mod doesn't work, because I try to force it through the command console and it says that the event ID does not exist

[dull crystal]

Are hoi4 mod tutorials from 2020 outdated?

[rotund cairn]

I'm using the tutorial from the official hoi4 channel on YT, the video in question was posted 8 days ago
this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuIycVRxrO4

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to make a civil war for a mod, I want it to occur in 2001.

no rush obviously

[rotund cairn]

i test something, my own mod dont work, but, i put the files from my mod on another mod i have here, that i downloaded from steam and now works, why works now?

[stuck quarry]

i can only assume something in your mod is incorrect, with no further information to work off of than it doesnt work in yours but does in another

tho it could also be as simple as a typo in a folder name or incorrect file structure

[obtuse condor]

Would anyone know why my Focus tree icons keep bugging out?

[wintry geode]

Should add treaty of sevres borders

tbh ngl imo

[timber zenith]

You need an if scope

Does anyone know how to use a mod after installing it from nexus mods?
Im not gonna use the steam workshop because I need to access an older version of a mod

[summer pumice]

Hey, I am new to modding, I am thinking of making a mod where the CSA exists, is this against the rules since it already exists as a country ingame or not?

[timber zenith]

there aren't any "rules"

[summer pumice]

Alright

Thanks!

[timber zenith]

np

[summer pumice]

I tried making my own country, it worked but the name isn't displaying, anyone why?

Nevermind, I found the error

Nevermind, that didn't solve it.

[timber zenith]

You'll have to add localisation for it

[summer pumice]

Did it but the name didn't change.

[timber zenith]

Can you send a screenshot of the loc file?

[summer pumice]

Remaking the country to see if I missed something

[timber zenith]

did you get it working?

[summer pumice]

Needed to do something else, but hopefully it will fix it.

[topaz moth]

does anyone knows an 1800+ mod or late 1800

[wintry geode]

whats wrong with the interface?

i would assume it is the gfx_1700_bookmark not having the great northern wars thing?

should i remove the _boomark?

the interface doesnt show up

[summer pumice]

You doing a mod from 1444?

[wintry geode]

yeah

[summer pumice]

I think I saw your post on reddit.

[wintry geode]

i think so too

[wintry geode]

its not really a 1444 mod tho

more of a 1789-1836 mod

[summer pumice]

Oh

[summer pumice]

I mean, I am new to coding in HOI4 but try.

[wintry geode]

that made the problem worse

[summer pumice]

Then add two bookmarks, seems like the only logical solution.

No but seriously, I am guessing your trying to add different photos for all the years?

[wintry geode]

yes i am

[summer pumice]

One of them gets added right?

[summer pumice]

And I am guessing that the only one that gets added is the 1939 one?

[obtuse condor]

Hi there gang is there a thing like Set_puppet_of ... TAG so that the country gets puppetet without the tag used bc Prev and ROOT and so on dosnt work

just google colour localisation HoI4

there is a page called "formatting" or sth

[fossil cradle]

Is there any rule that stops a country from giving military access to others?

[final tinsel]

first draft of economy focus on a country based on UK,
BUT does this looks like too small?

[opal rune]

can somebody send me the vanilla soviet focus tree file i accidentally broke it

[summer pumice]

Hey, since I am new, is there a way to give a country only a province of a country, not the full state, or do I need to make a new state for that?

[opal rune]

you have to make new states for that

[summer pumice]

Alrigt, probably for the best since otherwise the peace deals may look wonky

[opal rune]

but i think you can make that state not own certain provinces

like it shows what [provinces that state owns

[summer pumice]

Alright, was just asking for the future, gotta make other stuff before making new states

and just gotta learn the basics

[stuck quarry]

You follow that up with the first letter of the color you want the text to be, and can follow that symbol again with a ! To reset the color

§Rthis text will be red§! Should make the text red

And then reset the color so no text after it is red

[rotund cairn]

i check everything, like, 20 times, there nothing worng, no typo, is literal 1:1 with the tutorial video, but, just dont work and dont make any sence work when i put my files on other mod that i downloaded from steam
and I don't want to have to do this to create a mod, because I couldn't put it in the steam workshop

[honest zodiac]

does anyone here knows how to do map modding?

[summer pumice]

Nope

It still doesn't say the name I want it to

and the colour for some reason is white even though I changed it to what it is supposed to be, hope I did it right.

[timber zenith]

could you send a screenshot of that loc you made then?

[summer pumice]

sure

[summer pumice]

Wait, it actually fixed

forgot to say it

[timber zenith]

you'll also have to add an entry in colors.txt, which is in the same folder as the other colour file

[summer pumice]

I made a file wrong in the localisation

[timber zenith]

ok cool

[summer pumice]

where is that?

[timber zenith]

it's in common/countries

[summer pumice]

Like this?

[timber zenith]

ah yeah exactly

what's the name of that file?

[summer pumice]

well, that is the file I used for the new county, it is california.txt

with capital C

[timber zenith]

you'd have to add those lines to the file named colors.txt

copy it from the vanilla folder and add that bit to the end

it'll override vanilla colours if you don't

[summer pumice]

Can't seem to find it in the vanilla folder, where exactly is it?

[timber zenith]

it's in that folder, just called colors.txt

[summer pumice]

in common?

found it

[timber zenith]

Yeah

[summer pumice]

So I just add the code for it in the txt file?

[timber zenith]

Yeah

[summer pumice]

Alright, wil test

[summer pumice]

that worked, thank you, the tutorial I am following is a little old

[opal rune]

is there a way i can get the original soviet national focus file back

i accidentally broke it

[signal cave]

u can copy it from the main hoi4 files

[opal rune]

no like

i was trying to make a mod

by changing the focus tree

but without thinking i changed the main file

and now even if i dont use a mod the focus tree is broken

[wraith forum]

i know for other games you can delete the file then verify file integrity through steam and it replaces it, unsure if it will work the same for hoi4

[limber badger]

Hello, any1 can help with my ideology problem? I successfully made a new one, but after meddling with the names and stuff i somehow broke the default ones and also one of the custom made ones. In the screenshot u can see the error message im getting. Ideas?

everything works without any problem in the 00_ideologies file

or well seems to work

[pale sparrow]

did you test in-game

the error highlighting is flawed

[limber badger]

good idea, if i didn't have to upload the mod every time i make an update i would actually do that first 😅

thanks man, i was trying everything and it was this trivial 😭

[proper acorn]

Which extension that shows code errors are you using?

[stuck quarry]

I believe its paradox modding tools

Im pretty sure thats the name of it

Theres also hoi4 modding utilities which can let you view certain files so you dont have to constantly relaunch your game to view changes

[opal rune]

How do i fix this problem

testing the national spirit ingame it still has the underscores i put in the code

[stuck quarry]

Got it in a localisation file right?

the_rise_of_luxemburg:0 “The rise of Luxemburg”

[opal rune]

ah

i got it

thanks

[stuck quarry]

Np, just wanted to make sure you had it, sometimes localization files can be a pain to have work mainly i mix up I and l in the file name

[plush tangle]

i need to start making hoi4 mods

[obtuse condor]

I was wondering is there a way to have a country annex other countries from the start of the game instead of doing it by copy and pasting states and changing their controller?

[ashen mural]

what the hell happened? i had just came back to working on my mod after 2 weeks and see this

[limber badger]

Yeh like the guy said, I'm using the extension from wiki. It should be official thingy from paradox for hoi4

[limber torrent]

Yes for rp

The dev is a nice guy too

[limber torrent]

Check ur error log

[wooden verge]

In hearts of iron, that’s why I’m on hoi4 discord…

[proper acorn]

Ty

[proper acorn]

Ok

[mortal token]

Would it make the interwar period interesting to play?

[wintry geode]

Uh i fired this event like 20 times

and nothing happen

why dont any of these happen?

i fired the events 20 times and none of the states got reduced factories or building slots

[limber torrent]

No

The interwar period isnt really in game

[mortal token]

Obviously… but let’s say if it were added… would “devestation” help make it more playable?

[limber torrent]

If…. It is added then devastation would have no effect because u would have to simulate world war 1

[mortal token]

Yes. Goal is to have both

[limber torrent]

Well yeah then it would

[frosty kite]

guys suggest me some tutorials for making new states and provinces and what not

i want to make a mod where there is a new large island continent in middle of pacific ocean and divided between existing countries (japan, usa, uk, australlia, france etc.)

how do i do it

[frank wyvern]

iron workshop

he makes em good

anyway guys I have a question if someone can help me

so , I'm making a mod that adds more realistic states

something like this

there is just one problem

I can't seem to figure out how the plc works

like , in its code there isn't written how the states get cored

so idk where I should add the 2 new ones I added

[frosty kite]

PLC ?

[frank wyvern]

polish lithuanian commonwealth

[frosty kite]

ohhh ok

[frank wyvern]

because they work on the molotov ribbentrop pact

they work on polish focuses

but can't figure out how the plc works

[frosty kite]

well that code could be in lot of places...Decisions, Events, Focuses,

[frank wyvern]

In focuses there isn't

[frosty kite]

those 3 are the big ones

[frank wyvern]

neither decisions

and that seems strange

[frosty kite]

events ?

have u checked it

[frank wyvern]

cause in the decisions there is only the checks if the states are there

[frank wyvern]

mmmh could be ig

I'll check rn

I also tried to check in scripted effects

but nothing

[frosty kite]

i found nothing

[frank wyvern]

ye because it's a formable nation

but if u see the code for it

there isn't any core

complete_effect = {
if = {
limit = { has_cosmetic_tag = POL_KINGDOM_RUS }
set_cosmetic_tag = PLC_UNIFIED_RUS
}
else = {
set_cosmetic_tag = PLC_UNIFIED
}
POL_basic_form_commonwealth = yes
}

this is the effect

so where do the cores come from?

[frosty kite]

dont u have to get certain compliance in lithuanian states to form PLC ?

so it must be somewhere where the compliance is too maybe idk

[frank wyvern]

could be

it is not in lithuanian decisions tho

so mmmh

maybe in a dlc file?

[frosty kite]

yeah

maybe

@frank wyvern https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Formable_nations#Polish-Lithuanian_Commonwealth

tho i fear u have checked it already

what lol

isn't id supposed to be a number

or is this a decision im stupid

[frank wyvern]

that's the id of the decision

[frosty kite]

alright

that one has the core effect

[frank wyvern]

I just did and nothing helpful 😭

[frank wyvern]

[frank wyvern]

[frosty kite]

[wintry geode]

The great war redux devs are brilliant

[wintry geode]

[glacial prawn]

hey i started modding just recently and need a little help with my mod, i want to add a new category in reaserch but idk how, i tried to find answer on internet but failed

[frank wyvern]

on_startup = {
effect = {
every_possible_country = {
add_idea ----------

I didn't close the brackets cause I'm on phone

[frank wyvern]

I never tried, but looking at the files, u may have to add another file, calling it how u want and in the file u write Technologies = {} , and inside of the brackets u will write every technology + effects

you should check the wiki

oh wait

[glacial prawn]

i tried but it doesnt show up (i probably did something wrong)

[frank wyvern]

chrck technology_tag folder

check*

may be this

[glacial prawn]

alr i will check

[wintry geode]

im just going to put that in the french history file imo

[frank wyvern]

I think u have to put it in the bookmark file

[glacial prawn]

i added it there and still doesnt show up

[frank wyvern]

honestly idk , maybe I could help you tomorrow, since now I have limited time to spend

[glacial prawn]

sure

[frank wyvern]

you could also try checking rt56 files

they added a category

[glacial prawn]

i looked at it already but didnt find out how to do it, i can check again maybe it will help

[frosty kite]

@frank wyvern did u find the core effect thingy

[frank wyvern]

nope , but I just added the hidden effect. Thanks for asking. You'll still be mentioned

only idk how to name it

[frosty kite]

Alright 💀

Hidden effect?

[frosty kite]

This was in response to mentioning be

[frosty kite]

Whats that's

[frank wyvern]

ye : hidden_effect = { add_core of----

[frank wyvern]

under complete effect, if you use hidden effect, it won't show in the decision

and I also used limit, so that it would apply to only Lithuania, so that Poland wouldn't core its own territories twice

[frank wyvern]

ye ik ik

[frosty kite]

Cool

[limber badger]

Hello, i am experiencing trouble with mod making. So basically i cannot "live" edit my mod instead i have to make a change in the files and then upload the mod to the workshop, remove the files from game's mod folder and play the workshop downloaded version. There i can see the changes, but this process takes way too long and it slows down my progress. The issue starts when i place the mod files in the game's mod folder. When i look at the playsets i can see the mod there, but the icon is set to default one and when i start the game with the mod it just loads up as a vanilla game with no changes except censoring hitler. Any ideas to fix it?

[frank wyvern]

that's prob cause of the descriptor file

Go on the luncher

"Upload a mod"

"Create a Mod"

and copy the files in there

do not modify description

[verbal zinc]

Hi, I'm working on a mod for hoi4. Does anyone know how to make a given focus already have progress after starting the game? I saw this in kx in the Polish focus tree

[frank wyvern]

uhh

u mean like

a focus already completed?

[verbal zinc]

nah

like progression is started

for example 1/70 days are compeleted

[frank wyvern]

ohh

well I think you just need to add it on the focus selection

[verbal zinc]

wdym

[frank wyvern]

I mean you could take a look at their files

[frank wyvern]

When you have that icon/button to select the focus

I think you have to put there how much time you have saved

[verbal zinc]

can you send example?

[fossil cradle]

how do i make a nation declare war on a nation with temporary tag (D01, D02, D03, etc.)?

[wintry geode]

how to add army xp?

oh its jusr army_experience = 35

[keen parrot]

look for rhineland focus

or anschluss

in the base game files

they give army xp
