the province should be transferred to ukraine, but it isnt

[hidden widget]

Any mods simular to magna europa?

[high root]

why doesnt my country have a flag and a leader? i have all of the files in the mod folder

[timber zenith]

did you add an interface file for the portrait?

and can you show the character file code?

and is the flag in a .tga format?

[timber zenith]

Autumn Begonnia and North America Divided are the closest for asia and north america

[high root]

yea

[timber zenith]

did you save it in 32 bit?

[high root]

how

[timber zenith]

the picture has to reference an interface file

[high root]

how is that

the portrait is a .dds file

[timber zenith]

SpriteTypes = {
  spriteType = {
    name = "GFX_portrait_oun_andriy_melnyk"
    texturefile = "gfx/leaders/OUN/portrait_oun_andriy_melnyk.dds"
  }
}```

Needs to be put in a file in the interface folder

then you'd use that name as the picture

[high root]

like, make an interface forlder in the mod file, and paste the code?

[timber zenith]

You'd be better off creating him as a character instead of using the create_country_leader effect, though

[timber zenith]

yes

in the interface folder

look at the vanilla code you can copy off that as well

[high root]

is the interface folder supposed to go into gfx folder

[timber zenith]

no, just the interface folder in the root mod directory

[high root]

like this?

[high root]

does this need to have the name of the portrait or waht

[timber zenith]

Like i did it

it has to have GFX_ in front

i think?

[high root]

like, "GFX_portrait_oun_andriy_melnyk"

as the name?

[high root]

ok, so i just added .dds at the end, and the portrait is in the game

but the flag isnt

[timber zenith]

yep that works too ig

[timber zenith]

did you save it as 32 bit?

[night mirage]

@supple sable

[timber zenith]

mods, i guess this guy is really asking for it now 💀

[timber zenith]

lmaoo

[timber zenith]

could you upload the flag file you used

[high root]

like this?

[timber zenith]

Yeah

[high root]

do i have to compress it

[timber zenith]

No

[timber zenith]

this should work

fix the file name tho hahaha

[high root]

?

[timber zenith]

No

[high root]

i will try the one i made in 32 bits, if it wont work, i will try yours

IT WORKED

[timber zenith]

Nice

[high root]

thanks for help FBKong 👍

[timber zenith]

No worries

I would recommend using the character system in the future, but it's up to you

[high root]

is there an easier way to make a focus tree

[timber zenith]

Do not use edge modding

[high root]

what is that

[timber zenith]

it's a website

but the result casues more bugs than it's worth fixing

[high root]

how can i make focuses then

i use a program

[timber zenith]

Use notepad++, or visual studio code with the hoi4 plugin

but you'll still have to do most of it by hand

[high root]

Like, the program is just for placing and naming the focus, then to edit it in notepad++

[timber zenith]

I would recommend just doing by hand since you can mostly just copy-paste a focus template

(which is at the start of most vanilla focus trees)

[patent linden]

            {
                limit = { has_dlc = "Man the Guns" }
                add_tech_bonus = 
                {
                    name = DDR_schon_heute
                    bonus = 1
                    uses = 3
                    category = ship_modules_tech
                }
            }
            else =
            {
                add_tech_bonus = 
                {
                    name = DDR_schon_heute
                    bonus = 1
                    uses = 1
                    category = naval_equipment
                }
            }``` is this the correct syntax for an if/else statement or does the else go inside the if block

[timber zenith]

You can put it either way

[patent linden]

splendid, thanks

[patent linden]

While you're here, are there predefined "namelists" for the randomly generated advisors and division officers and if yes, can I assign a specific Tag a specific list

[timber zenith]

Names are defined in common/names/, i'm sure you can copy-paste a list and put your tag

I haven't done much modding in that aspect so i'm not too sure

[patent linden]

yeah, seems simple enough

there are COUNTRY_TAG = {} blocks, so that should work

How do I swap country leaders? I am trying to replace one Country leader that I have for the communist Ideology with another, also communist.

[flint sail]

just wondering on how to fix this, i have been trying with different ID's and none of them worked except infantry_equipment_0

[west trail]

Use infantry_equipment_0 for guns 1 and infantry_equipment_1 for guns 2 and so on

If you want higher teir guns for this day 1 production you need it to be researched in the countries history file

[flint sail]

i tried but they didnt work for no reason

[west trail]

you need it researched

in the history file

[flint sail]

ohh in the history file but where?

also it says that there is no variant for both support equipment and arty

[flint sail]

weird i do have them

[west trail]

Find the country under history/countires then find "set_technology" and add infantry_weapons1

[hidden widget]

Ty

[west trail]

infantry_weapons1 = infantry_equiptment_1

[flint sail]

along side that the divisions doesnt have equipment (arty and support)

[distant island]

dude why isnt it putting my portrait

[pale sparrow]

can you show what you changed

[distant island]

so you want me to show the portrait i want to put?

[pale sparrow]

It should have the exact same path as the base game one

[distant island]

the path

[obtuse condor]

is there a guts and blackpowder mod

[distant island]

vanilla path

its the same path and both vanilla and my file are gimp dds

i might have found the solution

[pale sparrow]

Ooh I see the issue

you dont need to do the DLC path

gfx/leaders/GRE suffices

[distant island]

oh ok ill give it a try

[distant island]

didnt work

i think paradox hates me

ok i think i made something wrong which ill fix now

[edgy solar]

anyone know what exactly this error entails?

i can't tell what is really missing and what to try fix

im also assuming that this casued a crash since the game crashes around that time

[distant island]

ok thats a start

so basically the top focus will be completed with an event

and the option you choose will complete one of these

[wintry geode]

uhhh has hoi4 changed the railway system?

uhhhh all the railways combined themselves into one

[eager holly]

Is there a Attack on Titan mod

[high root]

Does anybody have a template with the scripts that give you something upon completion of a focus, like giving 100 pp for example

[native tartan]

Thanks dude, now i can make any focus i want 👍

[grizzled sandal]

Nice

[patent linden]

modifiers don't work in focuses as far as im aware though

[patent linden]

How do I assign Airplane models to a country? I want to give a custom tag both the 3D models of Germany and the Icons

[timber zenith]

add them to an idea first, then add the idea as a focus reward

[patent linden]

yes, that

[timber zenith]

(idk about models tho lol)

[patent linden]

https://tenor.com/view/waah-waa-sad-wah-waaah-gif-25875771

i cant find the file

or more likely, files

ok i think i found it

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\interface\equipmentdesigner\graphic_db

there are files in there that seem to regulate it, ill try it out

It did work!

[patent linden]

the only thing it doesnt seem to change are the blueprints...

[slow spear]

Paradox gonna make my mod obsolete 😭

[sullen furnace]

Hey guys so I'm kinnda new to modding and I know like a fair bit of C++. Anyways so I have it hard to find the required folders all the time and I have to wonder if there is a simpler way.

[patent linden]

I just spend 3 hours searching for 1 folder too (cause no one answers my questions here lol) what i figured out what helped is subscribing to mods that change the thing you want to change and look at their folder structure, thats how i found the one i was looking for

tldr, reverse engineer other mods

[sullen furnace]

Interesting thanks!

[timber zenith]

sameeeee lmao

I made an Austrian focus tree with like 250 focuses that I basically abandoned after it was 90% done but oh well

[keen cloak]

I hope it's not going to take ages to update everything with all the new mechanics being added

[sullen furnace]

Imagine having a german mod. That whould become obsolete in the next months

[keen cloak]

improvise adapt overcome

[sullen furnace]

Yeah they will switch to Tanna Tuva

[keen cloak]

see what's lacking in the original and add that in

[sullen furnace]

I hope they add ss mechanics, for historical accuracy

I think paradox is to strict with Japan and Germany in the no no zone department

[keen cloak]

they mentioned an inner circle mechanic in which advisers with high influence might challenge the rule of the führer so that might be a thing actually

[slow spear]

Reichskommissariats Plus will be turned to Kazakhstan Plus and includes puppets for the entire world for Kazakhstan

[keen cloak]

real

[patent linden]

i got auto-timeouted on this server for saying a word starting with r, they are too strict in general

[timber zenith]

racism

[sullen furnace]

I belive that games should stop being such pussys with these topics. Its part of our history for bad and for good...

[patent linden]

[keen cloak]

they got my arse for living in a period a while back but whatever I guess I don't talk here very often so that didn't really affect me 💀

[sullen furnace]

Like i dont say it in a bad way dont get me wrong

[patent linden]

the german version is still censored despite that no longer being a legal requirement in germany lol

[timber zenith]

except it's meant to be accessible for young teens and I don't think such topics are really appropriate for that demographic

especially with such an already "radical" sect in the fanbase

[sullen furnace]

Yeah i think there should be an option that turns it off for streamers and for other people

[patent linden]

I wanna watch an army of 14 year olds try anything in that direction

that would be hilarious

[keen cloak]

like in some of the mods that make use of the actual flag

[sullen furnace]

Scraping the barrel models

child soldiers!

how ingenious!

[sullen furnace]

Brother im like 15 and idc if it has a n@zi flag or not

[sullen furnace]

[sullen furnace]

I watched a few documentaries about the human torpedoes and 1 they were scary for the pilot 2. They were like 80% one way trips

[timber zenith]

What mod are you making?

[patent linden]

Napoleon Victory in 1804

[timber zenith]

[sullen furnace]

Wait are you the cool dude who is making the Napoleonic war mod?

[patent linden]

no

[sullen furnace]

Or its a diffrent one?

Is it done?

[patent linden]

Not really

i started like a month ago, map almost done, 3 countries have content lol

[sullen furnace]

Dis you uplöad it

[patent linden]

no because i wanna wait till it's finished before uploading it

maybe a closed beta

but i dont wanna throw some half baked stuff out there

[patent linden]

should be automatically applied once it's installed

depends on which one you installed

you can view the tree in game

Well, the updates are real time, so just have the game open while you work on a tree and use alt-tab to switch between windows, or get more monitors lol

I can't tell you what it does, the notes don't say what it does

[stuck quarry]

You need hoi4 modding utilities

Hoi4 modding utilities lets you preview alot of things

Gfx and gui files, focus trees, event trees (see how events and their options interact with eachother)

[patent linden]

it can do that

how does that work

i didnt even know lol

[sullen furnace]

@patent linden https://youtu.be/vfpjRVIo9X8?si=DqfLOqva_qurWkyk

Man

No way

[patent linden]

Yeah I saw that

Would be a shame if i were to use my vpn to go to piratebay instead of paying for it

[sullen furnace]

Lol

Same

I mean, me never

[stuck quarry]

You just open different files and youll see a hoi4 button in the top right you click and it opens a new window to display stuff

I use it a ton for scripted guis

[austere summit]

Hey I am brand new to modding and I have one quick question, when I add new ideologies, usually in the bar to display the amount of support an ideology has (the one near the pie graph) can only hold 5 ideologies. Is there a simple way I can make a scroll feature?

[patent linden]

doesn't that appear automatically

[austere summit]

Not for me at least

I have around 8 ideologies and only 5 are in visible range on that line

I’ll get a photo of what I’m talking about soon

[stuck quarry]

I cant quite remember how to do it

But theres a way to change the base ideology frame into a scrolling one

I had to do it with my last mod bc we had something like 12 ideologies, but i could never make the first ideology be at the top of the scroll

[austere summit]

Ah

[austere summit]

Thank you so much for the advice still!!!

It’s much better than me trial and erroring it 😭

[pine nymph]

what is generally better? VSC or NTP++

[obtuse condor]

Notepad

[patent linden]

I'd say VSC

try out both and see which one you like more

[austere summit]

I generally use Notepad++

[signal tangle]

Is there a way to make it so a puppet of yours can have a puppet of their own?

[cobalt knot]

Hey there, can anyone suggest a place to hire someone to make a custom heart of iron 4 mod? with custom map and nations [dosent need custom focuses]

[ruby trout]

i think yes

[late wagon]

puppets can have puppets, i think

[late wagon]

why not make it yourself

[late wagon]

modding for the new dlc will be talked about in a month or so! :D

[prisma marten]

Vsc has a plugin to see your focus

[timber zenith]

I usually use np++ but it's personal preference

only cause i had a bad experience with vsc where i accidentally deleted my whole mod

[patent linden]

Fiverr, or depending on how much you're offering and what exactly you want the mod to contain, I can do it

[edgy solar]

Anyone able to help me out here?

[timber zenith]

did you modify the scripted triggers file for sweden

[edgy solar]

No I didnt

The weirdest part is that it's normal scopes like "FROM" and "Controller"

[patent linden]

Does anyone know how I can assign specific Blueprint Images (see picture) to a specific tag?

i made so france can establish lithuania and courland even if they dont controll them

but if they create them and the states controlled by russia dont get returned to Russia that would break the focuses

2 Questions:

• How exactly do variables work in modding? I need an integer variable who's value is affected by both focuses and decisions, i remember someone mentioning that you can create global variables, but i don't know how
• How do i integrate said variable into localisation? I need it to show up in the description text of a decision category, how would I do that?

[pale sparrow]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Variables
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation

[patent linden]

fair enough

[wintry geode]

im in the server imo

[patent linden]

If I create the following variable in a focus set_variable = { var = veb_budget_counter value = 0 tooltip = DDR_create_veb_budget_tooltip } is the variable global/public by default, or is that what the temp_var thingy is for?

[pale sparrow]

temp_var is erased from memory after the code block it is in is completed, if I understand correctly

a variable is by default the scope you are currently in, in a focus, thats the country

[patent linden]

        {
            add_offsite_building = { type = dockyard level = 1 }

            add_to_variable =
            {
                var = veb_budget_counter
                value = -1
                tooltip = DDR_reduce_to_veb_budget_tooltip
            }
        }``` so if I do this in my decision, it should work? I don't know if the seperate decision file for this tag counts as the same scope

on a side note, how can I display the value of a variable as seen in this image

I cant find anything in the HOL decision file about it

nevermind its in the decision category file

[pale sparrow]

yup

[patent linden]

ok, 2 things, DDR_veb_budget_counter_display:0 "The current VEB budget is: $H[DDR.veb_budget_counter]$!" this does not give me the correct text output

    {
        tag = DDR
        value = DDR.veb_budget_counter
        desc = DDR_veb_budget_counter_display
    }```and this inside my decision category does not display the value in the UI, is this a scope issue? could this be caused by the value being non defined/null?

OK, i fixed the first thing, only the UI problem remains

[patent linden]

How do I create a custom tooltip with the checkmark infront of it

i cant find it on the wiki

[patent linden]

Nevermind i found it

[ripe perch]

Does anybody know the syntax for replace_unit_leader_trait? "replace_unit_leader_trait = { A B }" does not work.

I'm unsure, I'd guess you'd need a "remove_unit_leader_trait = " and a "add_unit_leader_trait = " similar to the "swap_ruler_trait" one

[timber zenith]

Add all the provinces from northern silesia to southern silesia (or the other way around) and use that state number in a state somewhere else

or make the state with the highest number (currently 969) use that state's number instead

there can't be gaps in the states so that number needs to be replaced

Yes

[edgy solar]

you can

its in the '00_generic_organization' file in common/military_industrial_organization/organizations
you can find all the ones that are mutally exclusive and remove the line for making them as such

[quick citrus]

So is there no way to fix it

is it a base game idea or one you made?

One I made

are you able to add the idea via focus or decision?

it may be that idea isnt working right

Havent tried it

Tho I set up the idea exactly like the HoI4 tutorial said

Just with a couple alterations

try adding it to a focus reward and see if it pops up

if not take a screenshot of the idea and send it in

Oh, thanks

[timber zenith]

send a screenshot

[bright viper]

of the game?

[timber zenith]

yeah

[bright viper]

okay let me send it

here

[sand locust]

For a nation, how would i make 1 focus tree for a player, and another for an AI

[patent linden]

Did you loadt the OOB for Crimea in the History file?

[sand locust]

i tried doing like this, but

it didn't work

[patent linden]

maybe this?

[sand locust]

hmmm

i guess i could make an event

[patent linden]

You could check for the specific Tag on startup

[sand locust]

ye, make like an event to check if it's a player, then assign focus tree

i will try that and report back

[patent linden]

use an on_action

[sand locust]

i do not know how to do that, could you elaborate

[patent linden]

one sec

Theres a file called "00_on_actions.txt" in the Your_mod>common>on_actions folder

in there there is a block that starts with "on_startup"

[sand locust]

ahhhhhh ok

and then in there, i add a "load focus tree" if_ai = no

[patent linden]

you can try inserting something along the lines of TAG = { if = { limit = { is_ai = no } load_focus_tree = player_focustree } else = { load_focus_tree = ai_focus_tree} } }

[sand locust]

i will do that

[pine lagoon]

Why doesnt my 2nd focus appear

[patent linden]

Probably because there's a problem with the code for either it or a for the code above it

a missing "=" is enough for it to break

[pine lagoon]

The error thing says "near line 35"

[timber zenith]

could you send a screenshot?

[patent linden]

send your code

[timber zenith]

could you also send your error log?

[timber zenith]

You have an extra bracket closing out the first focus

[pine lagoon]

uh

[timber zenith]

if you use notepad++ you can select a bracket to see if it's closing/opening where it's supposed to

[sand locust]

i added this to on_actions, and when i select the nation, it spits out a generic focus tree. soviet_player.txt is in common/national_focus so i thought it should work....

[timber zenith]

you might just be better off putting the is_ai as a modifier inside the focus tree itself

[patent linden]

While you're here, do you know where the "custom_icon" wiki entry is? it's part of the decision_category, but i can neither find it in the decisions wiki category, nor can I find a "decision_category" wiki category...

[pine lagoon]

Thanks for the help 🙏

[sand locust]

already tried that, didn't work

[timber zenith]

show the code

[sand locust]

and now i remember what i did wrong for the other thing

[timber zenith]

Remove the first modifier and just put the tag and is_ai together

[timber zenith]

it's just an interface/Gfx reference I don't think it has a wiki page

[patent linden]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-meme-epic-fail-reply-gif-24921721

[timber zenith]

and decision categories are a section in the decisions wiki page iirc

lol

[patent linden]

i know, but it has to be an entry in some other category

[timber zenith]

it would be an entry in an interface file

[sand locust]

well it works but my gui is gone

[timber zenith]

what's your gui

[sand locust]

you know how focus trees have arrows and stuff

they are gone

[timber zenith]

is that in game?

[sand locust]

yes

[timber zenith]

I've never seen that before

could you send the focus file? I can look at it when i get home

[sand locust]

i think i can fix it by copying the other file and changing the id

[timber zenith]

yuh that might work

[bright viper]

i fixed it thank you

[timber zenith]

what was the cause?

[bright viper]

does anybody know why i cant get the goal_generic_support_democracy icon to show up on my focus?

[bright viper]

it was because I forgot a " in the country_tags file lol

[timber zenith]

ahh yeah that happens

[timber zenith]

you'll have to find the interface name for it

[bright viper]

that is the name for it

but its still not working

[timber zenith]

https://yard1.github.io/HoI4-GFX-Search/

[timber zenith]

this might help

[sand locust]

it won't even let me do the focus

well then

this is the focus tree

[bright viper]

ohhhh

i just had to get rid of the generic

thanks

[timber zenith]

all good

[bright viper]

and one more thing, how do I make the focus name not look weird

[timber zenith]

you have to add a localisation entry for it

[bright viper]

okay i think my tutorial vid gets into that at the end so thank you

[timber zenith]

no worries

[sand locust]

and this is my on_startup

[timber zenith]

what does the rest of it look like

[sand locust]

it definitely loaded my player focus

like the default one

i just copied the base one and added my code into it

[timber zenith]

the on_actions file I mean

what else is there

[sand locust]

ohhh in my mod

nothing else

just the 00_on_actions.txt

[timber zenith]

I'll check when I get home

[orchid osprey]

added Great Horde to my mod

context: im making an alt history mod

[orchid osprey]

Forgot what an OOB means, can you remind me rq

?

[orchid osprey]

oh wait a second

its a comment

lol

[bright viper]

set_building_level = {
type = infrastructure
level = 5
province = {
all_provinces = no
id = 25, 31, 19, 806
}

why doesnt this work?

[orchid osprey]

yup i fixed it

[patent linden]

nice

[orchid osprey]

idk why the hoi4 devs left the OOB for crimea as an comment

[patent linden]

Im unsure how hoi handles history files specifically, potentially because if they left it in, the OOB would load without Crimea existing as a country

[orchid osprey]

yeah

hoi4 leaves an error message in logs if the oob is loaded but it doesnt exist

[bright viper]

can anyone help me make this work?

[sand locust]

it's weird, some of the focuses do have the arrows

[sand locust]

did you have the make the lines automatically?

[bright viper]

huh?

[sand locust]

see, no lines

[patent linden]

don't add the province block for infratsructure

[patent linden]

did you put the focus requirements in the "available" block or in the "prerequisite" block

[sand locust]

it's a copy-paste of the base soviet tree

just with some stuff modified

like removing the five year plan interruption thing

[bright viper]

what do i put

[sand locust]

it used to work when the focus tree just replaced the base one

but now that i am trying to make a player vs ai variant, it's breaking

[bright viper]

it still says the same thing

completion_reward = {
add_political_power = 25
set_building_level = {
type = infrastructure
level = 5
id = 25, 31, 19, 806
}
}

oh wait

[sand locust]

yeah when it's the ai focus tree, it looks and works fine

[patent linden]

{
  type = infrastructure
  level = 5
  instant_build = yes
}

[bright viper]

i need the Ids

[patent linden]

check the things you changed for typos

brackets that never close and such

[sand locust]

there's no typos, because when i had my focus tree just replace the soviet tree, it worked

but the moment i changed the id from soviet_focus to soviet_player_focus to do the startup action, it broke

so i'm thinking there's a gfx interface thing that sets up how the soviet tree is setup, and i just have to copy it and change it for soviet_player_focus

but i don't know where that interface is

[patent linden]

see what happens when you change that line back

[sand locust]

i mean, it would just replace the base soviet focus again

changing it back is just where i started from, so i know it works

[patent linden]

yes, but if it works you know for sure that it's that line that causes the error

[sand locust]

ok lemme try it

well

i made a focus tree for the ai, and changed the id to "soviet_ai_focus" instead of "soviet_focus" and then did that on the on_startup block

and now the ai tree has the issue

it's almost definitely an interface thing

but idk where to look

[patent linden]

If you remove the load_focus_tree from on startup, and load each of the files seperately, what happens?

[bright viper]

how do i make all 3 mutually exclusive

[patent linden]

you need to add an "mutually_exlusive" entry for both of the other 2 focuses in each of the 3 focuses

or foci?

i dont know the plural form of that

[bright viper]

thanks

[fossil light]

how do i check if a game rule is active?

[sand locust]

if = { limit = {is_ai = yes} load_focus_tree = soviet_ai_focus } else = { load_focus_tree = soviet_focus }

imma just dump my code here

[arctic moss]

can someone explain to me why is the game pulling icons that are not specified in the pool? 🥲

[sand locust]

both focus trees work, which is exactly where i started

i already know what is broken

[patent linden]

the on_startup seems to break it, or rather loading the focus tree doesnt seem to work proerply

there exists a "mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty" which takes a boolean

it refresehes the focus tree, maybe adding that underneath the load_focus_tree helps fix it

[sand locust]

hmmm

[patent linden]

I'm unsure, probably because it wants to assign something to it, realizes that since its a different plane design it should automatically have a different icon and then chooses one at random

this is more of an educated guess than anything else really though

[bright viper]

how do i make it so a focus can only be completed if they have a certain leader

[patent linden]

You could try setting a limit = { country_leader = your_country_leader_id }

in the "available" block

don't know if that works

[arctic moss]

Thank you for the suggestion! So far my only conclusion was that the ingame 1936 pre-templated aircrafts could be coded somewhere else and that's what is forcing those icons to override the ones in the pool..

[bright viper]

i dont think that worked

[patent linden]

If my assumption is correct, a very stupid solution would be to create copies of the icon you want to reuse, create extra definition entries for them and then adding those to the pool

[patent linden]

You can see if it worked in the focus

if there is an X or a ✔️ with a "has country leader your_country_leader" then it worked

[bright viper]

it broke the game

how do i know the id because its a custom leader

[patent linden]

did you create him in the history file or in the character file for your tag

[bright viper]

history

[patent linden]

i dont know if there is an "id =" option for the create_country_leader

[bright viper]

also im trying to change his name and its just going blank

[bright viper]

yeah im not sure

set_country_leader_name = King Anthony I

this is making his name go blank

[patent linden]

yes, because you need to put "." around it if you use spaces

right now the game is looking for a variable named "King" and then gets confused by the rest of the statement

[bright viper]

still didnt work

[patent linden]

anyway, ABK_kirilli_bechvaya = { name = "Kirill Bechvaya" portraits = { civilian = { large = GFX_portrait_Kirill_Bechvaya } } country_leader = { ideology = stalinism expire = "1950.1.1.1" id = -1 } } i dont know if "Id" is the correct name for it, but the "id" here is "ABK_kirilli_bechvaya"

[patent linden]

then put a King_Anthony_I there and add an entry for that in the localisation file

[sand locust]

didn't work sadly

[bright viper]

yeah i think thats what i have to do

[sand locust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4modding/comments/mpeo8h/lines_between_focus_tree_not_appearing/ but this dude on reddit has a similar problem

[patent linden]

it's token, not id

[patent linden]

reddit is a terrible source to ask questions from my experience

half of the answers are "stupid question/I don't know" and the other half is completely made up bullshit that has nothing to do with your question

[sand locust]

perhaps

[bright viper]

bruh 200 errors

[sand locust]

maybe this has something to do with it

[bright viper]

@patent linden what do i put in localization

[patent linden]

if you do the whole load on startup thing but you delete the original file and only leave the ai_focus_tree file in your mod, what happens?

[patent linden]

l_english:

King_Anthony_I:0 "King Anthony I"

[sand locust]

as in delete the file from the game files?

[patent linden]

yes, delete one of them, load the remaining one

[sand locust]

ok

[bright viper]

dang it thats what i did and it gives 200 errors idk why

[patent linden]

send your create character code and the localisation code

[bright viper]

create_country_leader = {
name = "Anthony Bongiovanni"
desc = ""
picture = portrait_ant_anthony.dds
ideology = conservatism
traits = {
#
}
}

l_english:
ANT_establish_anthonys_constitution:0 "Establish Anthony's Consitution"
ANT_establish_anthonys_constitution_desc:0 "The long awaited consitution formulated by our leader Anthony now must be voted on to be enacted! Glory to the Republic of Ant!"
ANT_reform_the_economy:0 "Reform the Economy"
ANT_reform_the_economy_desc:0 "Our ecnomy is in shambles and needs to be reformed. We need better buildings and infastructure to promote more business in our country."
ANT_gather_the_nationalists:0 "Gather the Nationalists"
ANT_gather_the_nationalists_desc:0 "Our country has been destroyed by the democratic swines. We must unite the true patriots of our country and overthrow their evil reign!"
ANT_encourage_the_unions:0 "Encourage the Unions"
ANT_encourage_the_unions_desc:0 "The working man earns nothing in our society. We must allow unions to maintain the economic prosperity and health of our workers!"
ANT_crown_anthony:0 "Crown Anthony"
ANT_crown_anthony_desc:0 "It is time that we crown our great leader Anthony Bongiovanni, so he can become king of our glorious country."
King_Anthony_I:0 "King Anthony I"

[patent linden]

do "name = ANT_anthony_bongiovanni" and in the localisation file do "ANT_anthony_bongiovanni:0 "Anthony Bongiovanni"

the token you do after the "name =" and the token you use in the localisation file need to be the same

If I tell you to go grab a box labeled "Screws" then you will try to grab a box labeled "Screws" and nothing else

same goes for the computer

[bright viper]

206 errors

[patent linden]

it looks for the box labeled "ANT_anthony_bongiovanni"

[sand locust]

it did not solve the issue

[patent linden]

are all of them caused by your mod

[bright viper]

i think

[patent linden]

then something seems to be borked with the whole load_focus_tree thing

try your event solution from before, if its still borked, the "load_focus_tree" should be the problem, if not, the on_action might be to blame

[sand locust]

aight

replace the set_building_level with what i send you

and add {} to the thing in line 232

[bright viper]

i did

okay i fixed the issue with that

but the name still doesnt change

[sand locust]

@patent linden it's the focus tree somehow

i did the event, and it fired and did change the focus tree

the new focus tree just has messed up lines

[patent linden]

did you restart the game at least once

[bright viper]

yes

[patent linden]

hmm

[bright viper]

[13:26:48][1936.01.01.12][nationalfocus.cpp:165]: Duplicate focus name will cause database problems: ANT_gather_the_nationalists

and i dont know why its saying this either

[sand locust]

before

after

[crisp condor]

guys

can anyone help me

with improving trade relations with focus tree

[sand locust]

can you be more specific

[crisp condor]

ok so

this is my focus

Fifth Focus

focus = {
    id = SOU_seeking_recognition
    icon = GFX_goal_the_confederate_states
    x = 7
    y = 4
    prerequisite = { focus = SOU_international_relations }

    available = {
        NOT = { is_in_faction_with = USA }
    }
    bypass = {}

    cost = 5

    cancel_if_invalid = yes
    continue_if_invalid = no
    available_if_capitulated = no

completion_reward = {
create_trade_agreement = {
target = ENG
}
add_opinion_modifier = {
target = ENG
modifier = SOU_ENG_opinion
}
add_stability = 0.05 # 5% stability increase
}

ai_will_do = {
    factor = 1
    modifier = {
        JAP = { has_government = communism }
        factor = 0
    }
}
 }

}

and this is the modifier

in modifiers txt

trade_opinion_modifier = {
id = SOU_ENG_opinion
trade = 200
}

but it just says this

[sand locust]

is trade the right one

[crisp condor]

0

[crisp condor]

yeah

i want to get trade opinion plus 100 between tag SOU and tag ENG

[sand locust]

and you don't need decay right

OH

i know why

trade is a boolean

trade = yes value = 200

try this

like this example

[bright viper]

fixed this but still the name issue

[crisp condor]

like this?

[patent linden]

weird

[sand locust]

yeah

try that

[crisp condor]

still the same

wait

[sand locust]

do you have -debug in your launch options

oh

[crisp condor]

is it test_trade_modifier or trade opinion modifier

[sand locust]

it's trade

[crisp condor]

yeah

[sand locust]

look at the trade thing

see if it added trade opinion

[crisp condor]

where

[sand locust]

in the trade tab

[crisp condor]

is it 124

the trade opinion

[sand locust]

hmmm

[sand locust]

` SOU_ENG_opinion = {

wait no

SOU_ENG_opinion = { trade = yes value = 200 }

try this

@crisp condor

[crisp condor]

wait

sh

i deleted trade opinion modifier

can u send please

[sand locust]

wat

[crisp condor]

like

this isnt how its supposed to look is it

[sand locust]

it is not

look at this example

and instead of test_trade, add in yours

[crisp condor]

this_

this ?

@sand locust

someone help fr

[crisp condor]

thank you

but what is this

modifier

[crisp condor]

oh right

i dont understand this

theres like 6 files

text

[sand locust]

yes

[crisp condor]

okay

[patent linden]

the 3 letters infront of them are abbreviations for the names of the DLCs

use the 00_opinion_modifiers.txt

those are the base game modifiers

look for one which has the value you want, or create a new one

[crisp condor]

ok

[crisp condor]

oh

okay

thanks

@sand locust

still the same...

Is the focus right?

[patent linden]

I think you are missing a closing bracket

[crisp condor]

now_?

[patent linden]

should, yeah

[crisp condor]

still 0

[patent linden]

does the modifier "SOU_ENG_opinion" exist

[crisp condor]

in opinion modifiers yeah

[patent linden]

maybe this

[crisp condor]

what does this mean

[patent linden]

I cant figure out what the problem is, restast the game and see what happens

[crisp condor]

nothing still the same

[timber zenith]

i don't see any prerequisite scopes in your tree

wait im blind

but you should still remove the other modifier

it seems to be conflicting and loading both trees at the same time

so remove the on_action as well

[wicked echo]

what causes it to say zigfrids eizensteins????

and not actually do stability

[timber zenith]

that's probably what the localisation file says

[wicked echo]

but i havent gotten it localised

its new

[timber zenith]

is there any localisation

[wicked echo]

no

im just adding this rn

[timber zenith]

for anything

[wicked echo]

im new

the base game

but not my own

[timber zenith]

change the name and see if it stays the same

[wicked echo]

okay

[wicked echo]

changed it to lat_zamas on both

did nothing, it still says ziegfrid

[timber zenith]

could you send your ideas file?

[wicked echo]

yeah

its a file made for beginners too so it has some shit but its at the bottom

[timber zenith]

That's fine

[timber zenith]

i've never seen that before, that's so strange

it's picked a random name from the names list

[wicked echo]

the file or the error

haha

[timber zenith]

the error

[wicked echo]

but it still shows theres no modification?

[14:57:54][no_game_date][triggerimplementation.cpp:9350]: common/scripted_effects/BLT_scripted_effects.txt:83: has_game_rule: game rule LIT_ai_behavior does not exist

does this mean anything?

[timber zenith]

Could you try create a new ideas file and put that inside it, then delete the existing one?

[timber zenith]

it shouldn't affect it

[wicked echo]

ill try it rn

this is all thats in the ideas

is this correct?

[timber zenith]

Looks good

[wicked echo]

still says this for some reason

[timber zenith]

That might be too many zeroes for stability_weekly which is why the modifier doesn't show up

[wicked echo]

hmm mabye

ill try it again

stability_weekly = 0.025

put this

no change

ill force reload focus but idk if it will do anything

THERE WE GO

focuses change but the ideas dont?

on debug base mode

nvm

[timber zenith]

are you on debug mode?

as in enabling it on startup

[wicked echo]

yep

i had this issue the other day too

i was having to manually reset focuses

with reload focus

i have another question but i think it goes to localisation

if i kill the fascist and communist leaders with a purge and force them to die in the focus, would a randomly generated leader back them up or could i change the party and leaders to make it say banned

[timber zenith]

If you have debug mode enabled you shouldn't have to manually reset it

[timber zenith]

you can't make it say banned, they would just be replaced with generic leaders

but you can create a leader named banned

[wicked echo]

i had it on the other day, everything was showing up as debug, all the province id's, focus id's etc

[timber zenith]

since they wouldn't actually become leader the portrait wouldn't matter

[timber zenith]

how are you enabling it?

[wicked echo]

this is what i was thinking

[wicked echo]

in steam options

-debug

[timber zenith]

hmm thats strange

[wicked echo]

thanks for the help

[timber zenith]

no worries

[wicked echo]

i appreciate it

btw what does hidden modifiers mean

[sand locust]

so how do i address it

like if i want it to have one focus tree for ai and one for another

[wicked echo]

might be a bit of a stupid question but how do i put a national spirit that is there from the start

[timber zenith]

add the idea in the country's history file

no question is a stupid question!

[timber zenith]

have a modifier for is_AI = no in that focus tree

and is_ai = yes in the other

[wicked echo]

just throw it into history ?

[timber zenith]

yep exactly

[wicked echo]

oh wow

so i make it in ideas and then one in history or jst in history?

bc i looked at france's victors of ww1 idea and it is in ideas

and its from the start too

[timber zenith]

keep the idea in ideas, and just add add_ideas in the history file

[crisp condor]

Hey guys

How do i change this to Must be at war with USA

is it

[wicked echo]

thank you

[wicked echo]

wait

[wild basin]

did that tons of times, gonna try again just to see if it works

anywho now the game refuses to start

[sand locust]

i have tried that, and it doesn't work

well i haven't done the ai_yes one

i'll try it

it does not work

it defaults to whichever file is called soviet.txt

@timber zenith is it possible that i put it in wrong

like it should be under 1 modifier instead of 2 or

mmmm

it's reverting to the default treee

aaaaaaa

it's this thing all over again

it won't even let me take the focus

[timber zenith]

yes

the ai is still getting it because the first modifier lets it

the second modifier is just saying "because i'm not ai i'll get it, with a higher priority"

it doesn't prevent ai from getting it

[timber zenith]

put it inside the other add_ideas scope

[timber zenith]

has_war_with = USA

check the triggers wiki page

[sand locust]

yeah it still caused the other pic

of no lines and not being able to take the focus

[timber zenith]

what's the modifier for the other focus tree?

[sand locust]

it's just the base tree

[timber zenith]

change the modifier in that one to require the person to be ai

[sand locust]

i've also tried that

it still results in the line issue

[timber zenith]

did you put it as two modifiers, or just one?

[sand locust]

i tried it both ways

[timber zenith]

let me try something rq

[sand locust]

ok

[crisp condor]

i figured it out thanks

i need help with one more tjing though

[timber zenith]

sure

[crisp condor]

ok so

this is my completion reward

completion_reward = {
# Add bunkers to the specified provinces
add_building_construction = {
type = bunker
level = 3
province_id = 873
instant_build = yes
}
add_building_construction = {
type = bunker
level = 3
province_id = 951
instant_build = yes
}
add_building_construction = {
type = bunker
level = 3
province_id = 11888
instant_build = yes
}
add_building_construction = {
type = bunker
level = 3
province_id = 6958
instant_build = yes
}
}
}
}

and this is how it looks ingame

but it doesnt add any fort to the province id when i completed it

[timber zenith]

Put the forts inside a state scope

as in like 111 = { }

oops wrong reply

but @sand locust i got no idea man

[sand locust]

it's so weird right

[timber zenith]

the focus tree appears correctly after reloading the game but it has these broken lines

which indicates a stacked focus or broken prerequisites

[sand locust]

weird

[crisp condor]

how is this relevant to my problem

[timber zenith]

it's not?

[sand locust]

read

111 ={} for the forts

[crisp condor]

like this?

[timber zenith]

put the buildings inside that scope

111 means the state that you're putting them in

as in the state id

[timber zenith]

it might have something to do with all the focuses still having the same IDs as the regular soviet focus tree

are there any changes other than the cost?

[wicked echo]

ty

im really starting to get a hold of this now

[timber zenith]

i'm glad to hear it 🙂

[sand locust]

it removes the majors disrupting third 5 year plan, makes the purge focuses have less of a forced time gap, and then makes lessons of war not wait a full year

i was pretty careful to not add anything new that would cause an error

[crisp condor]

@timber zenith completion_reward = {
# Add bunkers to the specified provinces
111 ={}
add_building_construction = {
type = bunker
level = 3
province_id = 873
instant_build = yes

                    }
                    111 ={}
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 951
                        instant_build = yes
                    }
                    111 ={}
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 11888
                        instant_build = yes
                    }
                    111 ={}
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 6958
                        instant_build = yes
                    }
        }
    }
}

like this

[sand locust]

and it worked fine for a while until a friend suggested i make it fire only for the player while letting the ai keep the old focus

[crisp condor]

?

[sand locust]

your brackets aren't correct

[crisp condor]

mine?

[sand locust]

` 111 = {

yes yours

[crisp condor]

oh

[sand locust]

111 = { stuff }

[timber zenith]

the buildings

don't actually use 111, use whatever state id your state is

[crisp condor]

yes ik

all of them are in 1 state

tho

virginia

362

[timber zenith]

yeah that makes it easier

like i did

[crisp condor]

ah

ty for teaching me this

[timber zenith]

no worries

[crisp condor]

still it doesnt add any forts

: (

[timber zenith]

you might be able to put those individual changes into an is_ai if scope

[timber zenith]

you might need to unpause for a sec

[crisp condor]

i did

[timber zenith]

could you show the code you used again?

[crisp condor]

completion_reward = {

                   362 ={ 
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 873
                        instant_build = yes

                    }
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 951
                        instant_build = yes
                    }
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 11888
                        instant_build = yes
                    }
                    add_building_construction = {
                        type = bunker
                        level = 3
                        province_id = 6958
                        instant_build = yes
                    }

}
}

[timber zenith]

ohh i see

it's just province instead of province_id

[crisp condor]

ty bro i love you no homo

i was tryna figure this out for 1 hour

[timber zenith]

no worries mate

[clear shale]

Hello, I have a question that maybe only a dev could answer because its about the upcoming dlc. How much will Gotterdammerung effect the tech tree code? I'm doing a changed date mod and want to change the tech tree's dates and other things

[sand locust]

i'd imagine it just changes germany and the other nations

[clear shale]

im mostly concerned about the special secret projects. if those are seperate from the current tech code, then ill be happy

[sand locust]

i think that would just be adding something new, not changing existing

[bright viper]

how do i change the leader of a party?

[crisp condor]

Can somebody show me how to make a custom general

for a custom nation

please?

tried this but it doesnt show up for tag SOU

can anybody help please

@timber zenith

[timber zenith]
