[obtuse condor]

[crisp condor]

No

Oh

Thanks didn't know I had to do this

[bright viper]

guys how do i add divisions to my new country

[void light]

I don't think there is, I can help you make one

[obtuse condor]

oh no its fine i didn't want to make one i was just looking if it existed

[bright viper]

can anybody help me please

[wicked echo]

@timber zenith thanks for ur help bro im learning how to do this so fast now

[wicked echo]

im quite bad but whats ur issue?

[bright viper]

i need help adding units to my country

i dont know how to

[wicked echo]

ill try it right now

give me a moment

i think i know

[bright viper]

thx

[wicked echo]

so

[orchid osprey]

is OTT even a tag?

[wicked echo]

do you have a history folder for your mod?

[bright viper]

yes

[wicked echo]

this is what it should be

units

[bright viper]

yes

[orchid osprey]

I found this, i suspect this is OTT which stands for Ottoman empire, cant find it anywhere else but cosmetics.txt

Why isnt OTT fully-ingame?

when i try doing setowner OTT nothing happen

[wicked echo]

im just testing it right now

ill be quick

im unsure on how to do it properly, have you tried watching a tutorial? @bright viper

[void light]

oh okay

[bright viper]

i couldnt find a tutorial

[timber zenith]

OTT isn't a tag, those colour and localisation files are just using it as a cosmetic tag

so you'd run set_cosmetic_tag = OTT_UNIFIED and your country name/flag/colour would change to reflect that country tag

a full list of countries can be found in common/country_tags

[wicked echo]

civil war focus latvia

[wicked echo]

how do i change the leader of a party?

[west trail]

[timber zenith]

Nice, glad to see it

[rose heath]

why does everyone always do this in their focus trees
Nationalism = Le Hitler???

1930's China is nationalist

can we just call it ultranationalism when refering to fascism and stuff like that

nationalism is not yet chauvinism

[celest dust]

It's an outlook thing, it's the reason why non-aligned is called non-aligned. Its meant to be what group your nations affiliate with. China is non aligned because it isn't affiliated with the axis powers or the allies. It's also the reason hungry changes from non-aligned to fascism to symbolise them aligning with germany even tho its government is still just horthy.

[rose heath]

but you can have non-aligned governments team up with hitler and not be fascist, if China joins the axis somehow, it doesn't turn fascist
besides China is affiliated with allies, as allies were supporting them against Japan

same thing with communist countries beign able to attack the USSR

i know Poland and Turkey both have the option to turn communist, and then get a war goal against communist USSR

[celest dust]

1. They can because it's sandbox game, nothing scripted or railed to happen they are just less likely todo so. They would probably have a common war Etc.

2. Is a more recent trend with DLC's Poland's old focus had it to where if you play commuists you were expected to join the comminturm. But having every nation if they went communist forced to play second fidel to the soviets would be a repedtive game play decision and doesn't take into consideration anti soviet commuists moment's.

[cursive heron]

what are some of the must have mods?

[ripe perch]

does anybody have a list of combat modifier which I can use in the trigger has_combat_modifier?

[wintry geode]

adding 21 field marshals is gonna be great

going to need to add death events for them

[nimble solar]

Honestly his defense stat should be a 2 or 3

With most Union generals having an attack of 2 or 3

[crisp condor]

lee was diff 🔥

[nimble solar]

Lee out here sending men across a mile of open field

What could go wrong, the union center is clearly weak

[crisp condor]

@timber zenith How do i make an attack bonus only apply to a certain tag?

[patent linden]

Is there a way to give a war a specific name?

[timber zenith]

Instead of (or as well as) using the regular modifier scope in an idea, do:

targeted_modifier = {
  tag = TAG
  attack_bonus_against = 0.1
}```

[crisp condor]

tysm

appreciate it

[timber zenith]

there is a basic list of existing ones inside the "war" localisation file, you might be able to add something similar

[timber zenith]

No worries 🙂

[patent linden]

How do I assign a localisation token to my war?

[timber zenith]

hope and pray that it does it automatically

[patent linden]

Do you know where the Italian-Ethiopian war gets "started"?

I'd assume its in the history file

[crisp condor]

whats the command for like

random state

random_owned_state

or something

like that

[timber zenith]

yes

there is also a wiki page for scopes if that helps

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Scopes

[crisp condor]

focus = {
id = SOU_tax_the_cotton_farms
icon = GFX_goal_tax_the_cotton_farms
dynamic = yes
x = 30
y = 0
cost = 5
ai_will_do = {
factor = 9
}

    available_if_capitulated = no    
    }
    completion_reward = {
             add_building_construction = {
                type = industrial_complex
                level = 2
                state_id = 365
                instant_build = yes
            }
     
        }
    }

is this rit

bc

no effects

[timber zenith]

building construction needs to have a state scope

like we did for the bunkers

[crisp condor]

OH

RIGHT

thanks

[timber zenith]

no problem

[crisp condor]

completion_reward = {
365 ={
add_building_construction = {
type = industrial_complex
level = 2
instant_build = yes
}

       }
       }

still not appearing

[timber zenith]

did you unpause?

[crisp condor]

yes

chatgpt fixed it

@timber zenith

[timber zenith]

please don't ask chatgpt

it gets a lot wrong

your code worked for me anyway

[crisp condor]

bro

half of the focus tree gets deleted

after i remove this

on like 105

[timber zenith]

just needs an extra bracket at the end

[crisp condor]

line

yes but

that makes the focus not give me factories

[timber zenith]

did you check the state itself? the topbar takes a while to update

[crisp condor]

this focus breaks my whole tree

skul

i deleted it

dont need it

not now

[patent linden]

I found where the war gets triggered (Italian History file) but the localisation token isn't there

i fear this follows the same logic as specific country names

GER_SOV_communism_autonomy_puppet:0 "$OVERLORDADJ$ Occupation Zone of Germany"

like that shit

[wicked echo]

the focus tree doesnt make you ally with hitler lol

[bitter apex]

is there some sort of restriction that democratic or communist states cant have satellites as puppets because I keep setting west & eats germany as puppets of usa & sov but when I load the game they become integrated puppets

[timber zenith]

Yeah that's what i was thinking

[patent linden]

WAR_NAME_ITA_ETH:0 "Italian War on Ethiopia"

I'd presume the first Tag is the aggressor and the second the defender

[timber zenith]

satellites are only available to fascist overlords in vanilla

you can modify it inside the common/autonomous_states/satellite.txt file

[bitter apex]

omg thank you so much, I have been trying to figure out what I had been doing for an hour or 2

[timber zenith]

no worries

[obtuse condor]

you sure? b/c i know irregular infantry is in italy or aussa but its only like 8 widths or as aussa you get 3 12 width divisions

[patent linden]

Where can I customise Industrial Concerns for a tag

[stuck quarry]

Do concerns have a “avaliable” attribute to them

If i remember right and they do, you just add tag = TAG in the block

[patent linden]

I cant find the file where they are defined lol

should've made my question cleare, sorry

[bright viper]

can somebody explain to me how to make custom division templates??

i want the division name to be ANT_INF_1 but it says its unknown

[patent linden]

division_template = {
    name = "Infanterie-Division"

    division_names_group = GER_MONINF_01

    regiments = {
        infantry = { x = 0 y = 0 }
        infantry = { x = 0 y = 1 }
        infantry = { x = 0 y = 2 }
        infantry = { x = 0 y = 3 }
        infantry = { x = 1 y = 0 }
        infantry = { x = 1 y = 1 }
        infantry = { x = 1 y = 2 }
        infantry = { x = 2 y = 0 }
        infantry = { x = 2 y = 1 }
        infantry = { x = 2 y = 2 }
    }
    
    support = {
        engineer = { x = 0 y = 0 }
        artillery = { x = 0 y = 1 }
    }
}``` First lines of the GER_1936.txt OOB which you can find in History>Units

look at the rest of the file, reverse engineer anything else you need

[bright viper]

but I dont want it to use another country's division name group

i want a custom one for my country

[quartz blade]

What mods are usually essential or basic for playing in Multiplayer with Friends? I'm sorta of new to playing Multiplayer in HOI4, so any help would be appreciated!

[patent linden]

[bright viper]

okay thx

[patent linden]

since my follow up kinda went under with all this, I cant find the file in which the concerns are defined, sorry for my poor wording

[stuck quarry]

i think its in here

in common

i believe the non DLC ones are here aswell as the DLC stuff

[ripe perch]

its in common\ideas

[crisp condor]

guys

can someone tell me how do i make a country start with units

a custom one

i already have a template and everything i just need to spawn them at start

[ripe perch]

history file

[crisp condor]

what in it

countries?

what do i add therer

@ripe perch

[bright viper]

yes in the history file

make a new folder called units

and take a file from the hoi4 game to use as an example then change it how you want

make sure you change the country tag for your own tag

[whole siren]

is there a mod that automatically sortifies divisions in armies for 24 divs size?

[crisp condor]

oh thanks

btw

how do i make the sieze union property required for the focus below aswell

and not just international relations

tried this doesnt work

[bright viper]

im not sure

im new too lol

[crisp condor]

nvm

its this

have to add focus equals aswell before the second one

[patent linden]

found it, thanks

[patent linden]

if you do 2 prerequisites you get an AND

[crisp condor]

wdym

i wanna make both required for the focus

and not just one

[patent linden]

then you do prerequisite = { focus = your_focus_1 } prerequisite = { focus = your_focus_2 }

[crisp condor]

thanks

[bright viper]

it didnt work

okay it worked i had to change it names_divisions

[crisp condor]

can somebody help

[patent linden]

restart your game

thats normal

[crisp condor]

thanks

@patent linden whats the command to declare war on a tag via focus

[crisp condor]

completion_reward = {
declare_war_on = {
target = USA
type = annex_everything
}

}
}

is this right

[patent linden]

in just this snippet, there is a closing bracket too much

[crisp condor]

completion_reward = {
declare_war_on = {
target = USA
type = annex_everything
}

}

like this

?

[patent linden]

yep

[crisp condor]

nope

[patent linden]

yeah i thought so, that was the focus closing bracket

[crisp condor]

okay i added it back

[patent linden]

I cant find an error in the code

try restarting one more time

[crisp condor]

ah

that works

ty

[patent linden]

you're welcome

[crisp condor]

how do i make a focus locked until youre at war with USA*

?

i want to make this focus locked until your at war with USA

tried this but doesnt work

nvm

figured it out

[bright viper]

guys

[bright viper]

how do i make a focus only available if the stability is below a certain percentage

[ripe perch]

available = { stability < 0.1 }

[shell hawk]

Aliya, Queen/Queen Mother of Iraq

(Possible Vanilla secret regency path)

[crisp condor]

wth

any ideas what focuses to make to continute the ree

tree

[fallen shuttle]

Maybe draft a new constitution which gives some extra stability?

Split it into different fields, like internal affairs (government and politics), foreign affairs (buying equipment from others, securing relations and possibly volunteers) and the military tree which gives you some buffs and generals.

[bitter apex]

why is the east indies still called dutch east indies
I looked through localisation and it says that should onyl happen if they are a puppet of the dutch or else it should be indonesia

[celest dust]

/history/counties they have a cosmetic tag

[bitter apex]

would it be a problem if I removed the cosmetic tag of holland or british raj?

I thought they only worked if they were a puppet like INS_HOL or RAJ_ENG made it out to be

[timber zenith]

it does, but the game also has directly added the cosmetic tag through the country's history file

[bitter apex]

so if I removed them, then the cosmetic tag would only work if they were a puppet right?

[timber zenith]

Yeah, exactly

[bitter apex]

alright ty

another question, how would I make it so if a country is a subject of a specific nation they have a different name

I am aware its through localisation but what do you put? I tried <tag>_<suzerein_tag>:0 "" but that didnt work

[timber zenith]

you would do TAG_OVERLORDTAG_subject: "Subject Name"

You can also remove the overlord tag, or even specify an ideology

[bitter apex]

no 0?

[timber zenith]

The zero is always useless

it's only for paradox's internal logic

[bitter apex]

is this correct?

[timber zenith]

looks good

[bitter apex]

ok it worked ty
I tried this a second ago & it didnt but I launched the game again & well bangladesh was named East Pakistan

[timber zenith]

Nice

Yeah changing cosmetic tag requires a restart, or a deliberate setting in console commands

[keen adder]

it is impossible to change month amount from 12 to 16 months (for example)?

[patent linden]

I don't know, but I would assume no

[grizzled sandal]

How can i update mods that already exist in workshop but are outdated

[shell hawk]

You need to learn Map Modding

[grizzled sandal]

Whats that

[patent linden]

it's where you mod the map

[obtuse condor]

I tried making a custom map, using the mapgenv2.2.0.2, and it crashes when it says its initializing in the main menu

do i need to do the like buildings and rocket things and all that for it to not crash?

because I know i have to have a state for that, but I would like to have the nudge tool to make the states

or is it some other thing

[lofty plaza]

You can't do buildings if there are no states

[obtuse condor]

yea

but doesnt the game crash because of no buildings?

[lofty plaza]

Do you have anything?

[obtuse condor]

wdym

[lofty plaza]

Provinces, states, strategic regions and whatnot

[obtuse condor]

I got provinces

states i guess too

my strategic regions have all the base game ones, without any text in them

and i have a test strategic region with around like 50 provinces

i have 1400 provinces

and for states i have 21 states

that are i guess already made

unless the states are the problem, and the game wont let me boot it because the states are assigned to no one

[patent linden]

How do I get rid of the generic advisors

[crisp condor]

why isnt the localisation working

[timber zenith]

what's the file name?

[crisp condor]

just a random loc file

[timber zenith]

You should change the name so it doesn't override the vanilla content

[crisp condor]

ohh

[timber zenith]

and what is the file path?

[timber zenith]

alright yeah that looks fine

[wind sage]

Hi!

You should open the file called "generic_advisors" and add the tag of your country not to get them

File is located at
\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\history\general

@crisp condor If you want, dm me all the files

It might be easier to spot the mistake like that

It must be something small

[patent linden]

aight, thanks

[crisp condor]

still not working

i renamed it to this

But it works for Robert?

[crisp condor]

yeah

and i cant find the file that i put robert in

Send me the whole mod into DMs

I will check

It is not a problem for me

[distant island]

so i have a problem with events.i made an event and it works fine but the problem is the time.i want it to fire at 26 of january but the game loves to fire it 3 of january

[edgy solar]

maybe change the direction of the < to a >

since as it stands it'll fire anywhere between the start and 25th of Jan

[final tinsel]

"date > 1936.01.25"

[distant island]

ok ill try that

[distant island]

i did that and the event doesnt fire at all

i even restarted

[timber zenith]

mean_time_to_happen shouldn't be placed inside the trigger scope

and it might be easier to set up an on_startup on action

have the event be delayed by 26 days from inside that on action

[distant island]

ill try that

[patent linden]

Is there an on action that can be used to track wether a certain political advisor has been hired or not?

[hybrid sapphire]

i was trying to create an event by the paradox tutorial but i cant figure our why the text is like that

[bitter apex]

how do you get the kaiser to be the leader of germany
I tried setting germany to neutrality but that didnt work

[rose heath]

that normally happens through an event realted to a certain focus

[bitter apex]

do you know which

[rose heath]

when you complete the focus called something like "return of the kaiser" there is an event chain related to it
netherlands will get an event, being able to possibly block kaiser's return
if they don't you get an event that sets kaiser as your leader i'm pretty sure

i don't remember exactly, but you could simply see how germany's focus tree already works

[bitter apex]

is there a way to avoid that and instantly have the kaiser set as the country leader?
sorry im just really new to modding

[rose heath]

maybe you can set the kaiser as the leader of the non-alligned party

that seems easier than playing with events

[bitter apex]

how?

ive no clue what the function would be for setting a character as party leader

[rose heath]

now i'm not sure, but i think you need to set up the germany's history file in your mod first

and then within that file you should be able to set it up

[orchid osprey]

Oh, still it’s not related to 1610, but it would be funny to add an long timeline in my alt-history mod

[bitter apex]

I have those setup, I just dont know how to set the kaiser as the leader of the neutrality party, is it smth like set_party_leader

[patent linden]

make the focuses 365 Days long and that will be a breeze

[fossil cradle]

How do scripted ai peace conferences work?

Trying to search for BT but can't understand well, even on the wiki

[prisma marten]

i think you should do it like War_Reparation:0 "War Reparation"

add the zero infront of the :

[bitter rover]

Working on a bit of my mod and this happens

like 5000 lines of it

However the event works as intended?

anyone know what's happening?

[timber zenith]

can you send a screenshot of the event file?

[timber zenith]

The zero isn't needed

[bitter rover]

I switched over to just setting country variables instead, seems more reliable

[distant island]

how do you make it so when you choose for example the right focus,the other branch gets hidden?

[timber zenith]

in the left focus, put allow_branch = { NOT = { has_completed_focus = right_focus_name} } and in the right focus completion reward, put mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty = yes

[distant island]

where do i put allow branch?

anywhere in the focus?

[timber zenith]

yeah

not inside any other scope

[distant island]

alr thx

[timber zenith]

no worries

[distant island]

how do i make it so when i do the left focus the right branch gets hidden?tried the same thing on the left focus but it doesnt work on that

[timber zenith]

You'd try the same thing but swap the has_completed_focus with the other one, and put the mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty = yes in that effect as well

[distant island]

i did that thing.ill check if i did anything wrong

ok its because i put that dirty thing on set politics thing

ok now it works

thanks for the help

[timber zenith]

cool

no problem

[distant island]

btw im reworking greece

[timber zenith]

oh that's cool, good luck!

[distant island]

thx

im doing it all from scratch

months ago i wanted to remake greece but i used the same assets so i had many problems

how do i make it so an event is triggered at exactly 13 of april?

[timber zenith]

regardless of any previous focuses taken?

anyway you can setup an on_action

[distant island]

it does automatically without focuses

the event is supposed to be a leaders death

[timber zenith]

if you use on_startup, you can put a country event and set they days delay to be 103 days

[distant island]

i remember trying to do this with an event but didnt work.ill send a screenshot of what i did

[timber zenith]

Change the file name, so it doesn't conflict with the vanilla files

and i'd recommend using notepad++ for modding

or are you using vsc?

[distant island]

i use visual studio

[timber zenith]

ah cool

[distant island]

so i just name that bftb on actions to whatever i want?

[timber zenith]

Yeah

[distant island]

alr

[timber zenith]

i'm not sure if the on_actions part in the name is necessary or not

probably not

[distant island]

something i hate doing is localization.i made an event and now its just named soviet ultimatium so ill need to change the localization

do i need to restart after making changes on events?

[timber zenith]

Yeah usually you do they can be finnicky

exiting to main menu and rejoining might be as effective

[distant island]

i hope i wont need to restart

it doesnt load quickly for me

[bitter apex]

hey erm how do you set a character as the leader of a ruling party

[hybrid sapphire]

It still dont work

[timber zenith]

promote_character = character_name

[bitter apex]

where do I put this?
I want to set the Kaiser to be the leader of germany, but setting non-aligned as the ruling party does not work

[timber zenith]

from game start?

[bitter apex]

yes im making a scenario

[timber zenith]

in the country's history file, the first recruited character of each ideology will be leader

so put the kaiser first

[bitter apex]

oh ok

[distant island]

hoi4 doesnt find this event

[timber zenith]

did you restart the game?

[distant island]

nevermind

[timber zenith]

or exit to main menu/rejoin

[distant island]

i put it inside another event

imma fix it

[timber zenith]

ah yeah that happens

[distant island]

ok now i fixed it

how do i replace him with metaxas with an event

[royal sparrow]

i made a mod thats allows the u.s to create homelander

[orchid osprey]

i think i should add a 365 day focus to german union for german reunification focus

[distant island]

so demertzis is supposed to be replaced by metaxas but for some reason he is still in the party

ok i fixed it

[willow aspen]

helo

[timber zenith]

what does your event code look like?

waitnvm

[distant island]

well i fixed it.i jsut copy pasted a code but i forgot to copy paste a specific line

[timber zenith]

i didnt see that msg ahahha

[distant island]

lol

w portrait?

totally did not take that from the internet

[distant island]

i dont know why this happens but on my mod when it reaches 12 of april 1936 germany and uk turn non aligned

i think it happens 1 day before this event fires

event code

ok i think i know why

localization really sucks

idk what happened but it got fixed by itself

[distant island]

dude i changed localization.why does it keep doing this

[timber zenith]

what's your loc code?

You should also use tag = GRE instead of country_exists

because then it will scope to greece and not other countries, which is what I think was happening

[wet bronze]

How much soviet Cities do i gotta take so they will capitulate, i took over Moscow and Stalingrad but still they wont capitulate

Also its road to 56 mod

No idea if that changes anything

I typed it on modding just incase

If anybody here is trying to do a HOI4 mod or you are looking for a professional to handle that, maybe a map, mod, focus tree, portraits et.c I've got you covered. You can DM me and we get started
You can also find me here on Fiverr https://www.fiverr.com/aree_justin/create-a-top-notch-hearts-of-iron4-mod-focus-tree-vanilla-style-hoi4-portraits

You can see the capitulation percentage in the war menu

[edgy nacelle]

I'm making a thing, and I want to know how to significantly decrease the penalty for sortie's from carriers, I think it starts stacking after 4 carriers in a fleet, gaining 20% penalty up to 80%, but does that mean that if I were to do "sortie_efficiency = 1" it would remove this penalty system entirely? or is there something i'm missing?

[bitter apex]

how to apply a cosmetic tag to a country only if they are a puppet of a specific country, Im trying to make a decentralised austrian empire

[pale sparrow]

On_action HOWEVER

The game will automatically apply a puppet country name if defined, I think flag too

[bitter apex]

oh ok

[pale sparrow]

Check German RK names/flags

I think they get applied automatically, if not, only name apparently works automatically

how does one upload the hoi4 code to VSC for modding'

🇸🇴

10/10 activity from the hoi4 modding community

will be using google for the next hour of my life

[quasi saddle]

most modding servers I've been in dont usually give an immediate answer unfortunately
there should be some good plug-ins for hoi 4 code syntax but I am not sure about manual upload myself

[honest eagle]

Like how do you put hoi4 code into VSC? Bc surely you’re not trying to edit the main hoi4 files right?

[honest eagle]

There are a few plugins for hoi4 code syntax yeah

[surreal stream]

wdym

[honest eagle]

What are you trying to do?

[surreal stream]

get hoi4 files into VSC so i can see through em/ reverse engineer and edit countries

in hindsight exactly what you said

myb

[honest eagle]

It’s alright

Have you ever modded hoi4 before?

[surreal stream]

hell nah

[honest eagle]

Ah ok
I recommend you watch the iron workshop’s guides, idk if they’re completely outdated yet but they helped me immensely with getting started with modding

https://youtube.com/@theironworkshop?si=dCKw9iDBzaimkH0o

It also helps prevent mess ups like editing the main hoi4 files :)

[grand relic]

I'm looking for interesting mods on the First World War

and my game crashed

[bitter rover]

is it not possible to send multiple of the same event to a country?

I have an event I use to demand a certain state from a country, and I'm trying to fire two of the event at once in a focus (targetted to different states). However, it only fires once

[distant island]

i think i have it.ill just change the event id

[merry marsh]

can anyone help me my country leader is not working in the game

[exotic kettle]

I'm sorry, but how on earth do I complete this. I have tried to be successful with it TEN TIMES!! and all times i can't overthrow the government. Anyone who plays the MD mod please helpe me!

[high hatch]

Hi, I have a question.
I made a custom autonomous_state, and I want anyone (democratic include) can use that for a target country. Otherwise, the puppet option (here, I am democratic UK) isn't available. Any idea? I disable all DLC by the way, to test for a user doesn't have any DLC.

[fossil cradle]

Its EAW and the GFX artist has to have experience in GFX focus from focus tree

[thin chasm]

Does anyone know what that one minutely detailed historical China mod is called?

I was thinking about it the other day, but now the name escapes me

[delicate edge]

Are you thinking of Eight Years of Resistance?

Or Hagakure? Although that's all of east Asia

[thin chasm]

Eight Years, that's the one

Cheers mate

[proper kernel]

hey guys

can someone help me put a mod into the game please?

it doesn't work for me for some reason

[cosmic trench]

You can't because Islamic Republic of Iran is the greatest 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

[distant island]

so i made an event and it shows it like this and when i do the command it says that no event for this id found.thats the code

[distant island]

i think without bba you cant puppet as democracies

[distant island]

that also happened when i renamed the event because it used to be shown as lubjana award for some reason

[distant island]

but with bba you can satelite

[high hatch]

I think you mean "Man the Guns", because with this DLC enabled, this option is available. But is sad players without it, they can do that...

[distant island]

yeah

[distant island]

so i want to make an event change a leader to a custom one i made but it doesnt work.

[bright viper]

has_completed_focus = {

how do i make this work

[left condor]

So uh i got a X crossing error and i can't find the provinces with the problem so can anyone fix it without removing any province?

anyone who has photoshop, can you use the pixel finding tool or smth?

[edgy solar]

you need to show the error log aswell

so it says where it can be found

[left condor]

got it

[edgy solar]

that should work now without the x crossing error

[final tinsel]

i have one question:
for better optimizing mod, which one is better: dynamic modifier or just swapping ideas?

[mild spoke]

Hey all! I just started modding yesterday. Currently working on a mod that adds a "couple" decisions. It's basically a questline where most decisions are hidden, and only shown after the decision preceeding it in my "quest line" is completed. Atm, i'm making this possible by having an idea that I keep replacing, and making the number of the idea be the thing that enables/disables a decision. So for example the second quest requires the nation to have "some_idea_1" and once completed, it replaces "some_idea_1" with "some_idea_2", and the next mission is only show if the nation has "some_idea_2" and so on. So...basically kinda overcomplicated imo

Is there a way to implementing the same functionality, without this much effort?

[edgy solar]

would probably recommend a dyanamic modifier if you plan to have that many switches

you can find a couple of good examples in the dynamic_modifier folder

[mild spoke]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at it

all these ideas are making me go nuts lol

[edgy solar]

i would use the soviet ones as a basis

and i think you find those ones in their country file

I could be wrong

[mild spoke]

In any case, at least you gave me somewhere to look

so thanks a lot

[edgy solar]

if you ever get stuck you can always stare at the wiki and hate its design lmao

[mild spoke]

its so bad

and there's no dark mode 💀

[edgy solar]

you can get the dark reader extension for google

it forces dark mode over every site

makes images a nightmare sometimes but atleast you can see them

[mild spoke]

Just wanna say thanks again! I think I found what I was looking for pretty much

you were pretty on point with the soviets

now instead of having tonns of different ideas and unnecessary if else if checks, I just have a single variable that tracks which "quest item" the player is on, and some dynamic modifiers applied for the national spirit

looks a lot cleaner

[edgy solar]

no problem man, goodluck on your mod

[mild spoke]

Colonizing the moon is gonna be fun

thanks

[burnt elbow]

I created a focus which gives 4 civilian factories, but it dont works. I have this civs builded but the game says that I have 0.

It only works when I change the goverment or somethin else.

i am making a ww1 hoi4 mod, i used a normal looking flag .pngs

and they are upsidedown and inverted

[wintry geode]

whats wrong with this 5?

[lofty plaza]

Flags are supposed to be .tga not .png

[obtuse condor]

[quaint ether]

can someone help me make a custom country in hoi4?

[subtle plover]

Any recommendations for portraits?

[quaint ether]

bro i have everything i want for a custom country i just cant make the actual country. to answer your question what goverment?

[subtle plover]

I mean like just how to make the actual portraits

like the software

[quaint ether]

ohhhh

I think paint.net but all the downloads look skecty

[final tinsel]

is that bug?

[mild spoke]

May be a stupid solution, but why not save them initially upside down and inverted, so the game flips it for you?

Altho I think I read something on the wiki that flags are special in some way

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Country_creation

[wintry geode]

no doing a napoleonic wars mod

[mild spoke]

hey all, I'm having problems setting the picture of a national spirit

I think I got it right in the .gfx file

    # MARK: IDEAS
    spriteType = { # THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORT IDEA ICON
        name = GFX_idea_ttm_future_of_transport
        textureFile = gfx/interface/ideas/ttm_future_of_transport.dds
    }

and based on the wiki, I shouldn't have to provide a picture=[something] property for the idea itself, since the name of the idea matches the name of the spriteType

so it looks like

        ttm_future_of_transport_1 = {
            name = ttm_future_of_transport

            modifier = {
                research_speed_factor = 0.02
                civilian_factory_use = 5
            }
        }

but it doesn't really matter, cause it doesn't show either way

can anyone see the problem?

[obtuse condor]

I actucal already tried that

[mild spoke]

I kinda feel stupid, but the wiki did say name, and theres the name field of the idea itself, but I just found out its using the name ttm_future_of_transport_1 not the name=[something]

[mild spoke]

did it work?

[timber zenith]

as the Brit said the files need to be in a .tga format else it won't work

you'd be saving yourself a lot of time over inverting and flipping textures which still isn't gonna work

[obtuse condor]

no

You dont need 2 days straight to be askibg for how to make a country

Then look at game files

[quaint ether]

Ohhhh right
I forgor💀

[mild spoke]

Its all in there thankfully

Thats whats so good about pdx games

So you can just look for something like FIN - Finland.txt, copy paste it into your mod, and change what you want

[quaint ether]

Should I just take some random country and fill in the blanks

[quaint ether]

[long helm]

Its easy, copy and paste another nation’s oob and change the name of the file for the tag of your custom country and then in history/countries find your custom country’s file and there you choose the oob, you can look at other nation files for reference

From there you can edit the oob file however you want

Hi guys, I want to mess around with realisitc manpower, how many men each battalion is supposed to have. I'd appreciate any sources on german divisions

[timber zenith]

you can get rid of the OR there all together and it'll work

[final tinsel]

is there anyone who is good at making scripted gui?

i'm making parliament diagram for democratic countries in my mod like:

but if i copy this code to another democratic country(with variable changed onto the code), then this system does not work

like:

but the country with pasted code is working:

is there something that i forgot to add on code?

[subtle totem]

I have noticed you can't add namelists without it preventing Ironman mode, is this intended?

Are u South Korean? We should do a kpop mod

[final tinsel]

🤔

[final tinsel]

why should i have to?

[cosmic trench]

Because all of the world must become kpop

[final tinsel]

uh just my taste

[final tinsel]

maybe somebody will make, NOT me

[cosmic trench]

I am disappointed that in millenium dawn there are 0 kpop references

[final tinsel]

im not modder in millenium dawn

[cosmic trench]

Ikik just saying

I tried to mod a few days ago but it went really bad

[light token]

How do I remove Stalin's Paranoia from the game?

[grave hazel]

are you trying to stay historic or are you trying to overthrow him?

[light token]

Keeping him while also not purging any generals.

[grave hazel]

I want to say its the focus The bloc of rights and troyskyites that take care of it, i'd use the search function in the focus tree and type in something like paranoia to help highlight the ones you need

[light token]

I mean, how I mod the mechanic out of the game?

[grave hazel]

I thought i was in a different channel thats my bad!

[sly hawk]

Can someone help me out? How do I generally find the stupid f*ing chances for events like these happening in the code?

Which folder do I look in?

I'm so sick of save scumming this shit.

[fossil cradle]

Mod: Eaw

GFX for focus tree

[orchid osprey]

i need help, i changed the provinces and terrain map, but still it somehow even only ruined all of the provinces

[blazing adder]

Is there a mod where it adds (and overhauls) the building and economy?

To add more depth

And some peacetime/neutrality content would be cool too

[pine lagoon]

Is there a good tutorial on how to make a custom interface

Or one of those that are usually in the decisions tab

[smoky wolf]

[summer pumice]

Does anyone have a list for the things a idea can effect, and what to write to make it effect them?

[hard mirage]

guys where i can change the leader photo ? before it was here

Cuz bufore there was create_country_leader

[summer pumice]

And as a follow up question for this, when making a country have less consumer goods factor, meaning they spend less or more factories to make consumer goods, would it be - before or +?

[hard mirage]

less consumer goods means more civils for country to use

[summer pumice]

I know

That didn't really help with my question

I was wondering if I would set a minus before to decrease the factor or a plus

[hard mirage]

as i remeber with - you decrease them

[summer pumice]

Alright, thanks!

[hard mirage]

and i want to change leader photos but i forgot where

[summer pumice]

Isn't it in common?

[summer pumice]

meant GFX

[hard mirage]

well i know that

but to change in the files to use the photo

[edgy solar]

should be under the characters folder in common i believe

[summer pumice]

then it is in common, leaders I think, change the script to the new name of the new photo

[edgy solar]

if you wanna change the portrait itself go to gfx, if you want to change which portrait is used if you add a new one go to common/characters and then the country you want to change

[hard mirage]

thanks

[summer pumice]

Hey, btw, why does the recruitable population factor (Conscription) look so weird, to add 1.5 percent you add 0.025

[edgy solar]

your guess is as good as mine lmao

[summer pumice]

alright then

just gotta try to decrease by 20

[edgy solar]

but to add 1.5% you would set it a value of 0.015

[summer pumice]

what?

oh yeah

nvm

I am dumb

saw it now

[summer pumice]

Also, whats the difference bewteen recruitable population and recruitable population factor, just wanting to make sure I don't do the wrong one.

[edgy solar]

not sure but this is what the wiki says about it

[summer pumice]

That is..

alright

I still don't understand it lol

[edgy solar]

me neither

i just know which ever one is yellow coloured is better kinda

[summer pumice]

is one like, for percentage and one for like nu,ers

[edgy solar]

since its overall manpower

[summer pumice]

yeah, alright

thanks!

[edgy solar]

Hello, I have a issue when making a portrait mod, I made a mod with a basic test\gfx\leaders\GER\Portrait_Germany_Adolf_Hitler.dds folder for test,
I am sure I enabled the mod in launcher and I am sure that the picture is available as HOI4 leader portrait,
but it still have no changes in the game, what may be the reason orr steps I forgot?

[timber zenith]

what changes did you make that aren't showing up?

[supple aspen]

hi does someone have a 2024 mod

[balmy ravine]

I add another photo of Portrait_Germany_Adolf_Hitler.dds at my mod file,
and I sure the photo is able to use as HOI4 leader portrait

[wind bison]

i have the millenium dawn mod but its really buggy atm, mainly because when i try to invite a friend after he leaves/encounters a bug where he has to exit the server he can no longer rejoin because it doesnt let him ready up as any nation after i accept him into the server, can anyone help

hearts of cats 4

[magic bay]

Would be better if the Japanese, American, French cats weren't AI generated

[jagged tide]

are u suggesting that the german cat is a real existing cat?

[magic bay]

I've seen cats with that pattern of fur under their noses before, so this isn't completely out of the question

Soviet cat is a bit suspicious

Italy and UK are real

100%

[jagged tide]

why doesnt the english cat have like beans on toast or something

why doesnt he have anything

why is he just a cat

[magic bay]

Because Stanely Baldwin was just a dude

[jagged tide]

the american cat is just a patriot

and so is the french cat clearly

[cosmic trench]

[cosmic trench]

You have to select the state and modify the resistance by typing the commands you find in the modules of hoi4 wiki

[hard mirage]

ye but im just doing that for my friends to play

[magic bay]

[patent sage]

This is driving me up the wall lol. I've changed countries_l_english.yml, ive propperly defined maoism as a new ideology in 00_ideologies.txt but it isn't showing the People's Republic of China. 😦

PRC_maoism:0 "Peoples Republic of China" PRC_maoism_DEF:0 "the Peoples Republic of China"

`# - Maoism
maoism = {

    types = {

        Maoism = {
        }
        Marxist–Leninist–Maoism = {
        }
        Prachanda-Path = {
        }
        Dengism = {
        }
    }

}`

Anyone have an idea? 😦

[timber zenith]

Specify the ideology name as maoism_ideology or something as it's getting conflicted with the regular country naming system

[patent sage]

Ill give that a go right away. Thank you. 🙂

Okay that worked, sucks cause I have to go back into a bunch of other countries now to fix that aswell LOL. Cheers.

[obtuse condor]

annoying moment with player led peace conferences mod, my ally UK declared war on Iraq, but because i had 0 war participation i can't do anything, and because of the way the mod works AI won't take any land or decisions either

so unless you have at least some war participation, it's gonna be a white peace

there should be a way to allow AI to do it's shit

[brazen swallow]

Imagine needing allies

just annex them, puppet them or not call theminto the war

never need player led peace conference, the cheating mod to steal ai credit

[obtuse condor]

ight bud

idc about what happens in a war, i just want the borders to look pretty

hurr durr cheating mod

[brazen swallow]

use a smarter ai mod i guess

HOI4 BlackICE, why does this thing doesn't work? When I click it it stays the same, it has happened me some times before and it forced me to start again, do you know how to fix it? I've tried everything, restarting the game and restarting the PC

[coral barn]

hello fellas
i'm having troubles(like the one in ireland) with creating a formable nation. The coreing of the land works flawlessly but the cosmetic changes are just not applying at all and i have no idea how to do it. ive tried looking through the files of other formable nation mods but i can't make heads or tails of it.

[languid mortar]

Can you put two mods in the same playset together
I got this additional factories mod but I’m also wanting to add it to another playset

Will it crash my game

it still removes the pp of the non-european countries

Would it make sense to have this as the Oldenburg Kingdom of Germany Flag?

or just better to have it be the black red yellow flag

or is it better to have the oldenburg coat of arms?

Ohmaygot

[timber zenith]

You can just use one NOT scope and put them all inside it

[wintry geode]

ill do that then

[timber zenith]

and don't use the if scope, just limit

you can use if inside trigger scopes, but not inside effect scopes

(ie all_state vs every_state)

What changes did you make right before the crash?

[mint oar]

well i added a new state

but i checked it for errors but couldnt fin any

[timber zenith]

Could you also upload the error file?

the log

[mint oar]

a ok wait a sec

here u go

[timber zenith]

Could you upload the one located inside the most recent crash folder? That one looks like it's been reset by the game

[mint oar]

what do you mean

[timber zenith]

inside the crashes folder, there's another error.log file

they're sorted by date/time, send the most recent one

[mint oar]

the crashes folder is empty

[timber zenith]

Hm, strange

[mint oar]

its not a crash btw its when i load up the game

[timber zenith]

Could you get the game to crash again and upload the error file again? it should regenerate the entries

[mint oar]

wait a sec

the crashes folder is still empty and the error.log is the same as befor but with new timestamps

[mint oar]

im guessing its just somethng wrong with the mod that dosnt display

[timber zenith]

Could you zip and upload the mod so I can see what might be causing the error?
