[swift lake]

Why do so many modders turn off justifying war goals

[barren matrix]

is there a way to make a focus visible only to its own country?

[pale sparrow]

FPS map and debug_smooth console command

spot opt doesnt do as much as those

[crisp condor]

weather aswell

[pale sparrow]

I assume that impacts gameplay, but its worth considering maybe

[novel stump]

Is there any people that would be willing to do a mod with me

[wintry geode]

What would be some other good formables/alt history nations to add?

[mortal token]

What mod?

[lethal ferry]

🤷‍♂️

[wintry geode]

[lethal ferry]

When i get my new gamin PC im downloading every mod i wanted to play

[wintry geode]

40 generals for Poland

is a bit excessive but all of them die so it makes sense

and some havent been born yet

[lethal ferry]

😭

[wintry geode]

will make so the generals born 1781-1805 get unlocked later with focuses

eventually when poland has a focus tree

[white cove]

🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

[steep mica]

Yo

Can someone make a mod based on

1000-1500 years

[maiden moat]

how to give a character a trait?

[gloomy hornet]

I have a question

How do I make a mod that doesnt have any "baggage"?

as in, no country data, no state data, etc

no tags

no oob

just a map, a blank canvas if you will?

[long bolt]

Yall how do I make a variable control the price of building stuff? like, a money system, I just cant find out how to do it, if anyone knows please tell! (I already have the variable made) :)

Are there any mods that add Bonapartism as its own ideology?

[sinful delta]

Hi, I am currently working on a mod for Hearts of Iron 4.

I want to remove the 1939 start date bookmark.

I managed to achieve this by just making an empty "bllitzkrieg.txt" in my "bookmarks" folder.

However, I have an issue with this. When I click singleplayer, I am immidietaly moved to the interesting countries list in 1936. And the issue is that when I click the "Back" button it does not work, since it's supposed to move you to the bookmarks panel, but that one just atomatically moves you to the interesting countries panel in 1936. So when you click it, it does nothing.

I would like to fix this issue. Either by making the Back button just move you to the main menu of the game. Or by keeping the bookmark selection screen, but with only the 1936 start date. Please help, I don't mind either of those options, but the simpler one to code would be nicer. Thanks for any help.

[pale sparrow]

you need to offset the 1939 bookmark so that it falls off-screen

its what road to 56 does

center the 1936 bookmark, then make the distance between start dates an immense number

[sleek pewter]

Guys i screwed up my game with state nudge how do i fix it

[dark portal]

Looking for people willing to test a mod. DM me for details.

[dark portal]

go to documents/paradox/hoi4

and remove any history, localisarion or math files

[sinful delta]

hi, thanks for the comment, it's sounds like a good idea, could you help me a bit more please? I am new to modding, and I haven't changed the menu at all yet. my best guess is that it is in the "frontendgamesetupview.gui" file, but I am not sure which one is the 1939 start date, I have only managed to find the 1936 one trough ctrl+f

I tried to find it myself but the code seems so hard to navigate trough

[pale sparrow]

I might be able to find it for you

[karmic geode]

Is there any mod to allow me to lend lease ships to ai

thoughts this 1789-1800 focus tree for sweden look good so far?

[viscid seal]

bro we need a trench crusade mod

how easy is modding hoi4. i'll have to take it into my own hands

[viscid seal]

never mind i cant code

[frank salmon]

what's that horizontal branch with a billion focuses

[silk tide]

What's more difficult, world ablaze or black ice?

[wintry geode]

althistory stuff i havent blended into the focus tree yet

[obtuse condor]

what are some good mods that revamp the game entirely? not QoL mods or vanilla+ mods like rt56

so far i've played kaiserreich/redux, great war redux and führerreich

i'm eyeing fallout and EaW too since they are supposedly very well made, but i have 0 interest in mlp and i haven't played fallout

and i don't like TWR or TNO so not them either

any others like these?

i guess i'm more interested in mods like kaiserreich that take place in actual world but tells a different story

[nimble solar]

Well, you basically went through all the decently made ones

[obtuse condor]

i thought so lol

oh well

i guess i'll give EaW and the fallout one a chance

is anything else like these being developed rn?

and is there a submod of EaW that removes ponies from it?

at least the pictures

i can't take it seriously

[nimble solar]

Believe so

When it comes to other total overhauls, there is Millennium Dawn (bad mod) and Cold War: Iron Curtain (not the worst, but too many mechanics for its own good)

[obtuse condor]

thanks

[nimble solar]

Red Dusk is actually not bad

[fringe smelt]

Dude I have spent so many games playing EAW, and I still have zero interest in the MLP stuff

It’s just really fun

The focus trees take themselves in this weird serious but not serious way

And the geopolitics is really fun

[summer lotus]

you would have been a weird person to be interested in MLP only because you play EAW

rarely anybody does

[mortal token]

Is Versailles good?

[tall ferry]

If you mean the city? I heard it was pretty cool. The treaty? One of the main causes of the Nazi rise to power. Not cool

[mortal token]

The mod… I think it’s called rise of Versailles or something

[tall ferry]

not sure... Check the workshop comments, if it isn't spam it's usually half decent feedback

[bright fog]

Is there anywhere where you can comission mods?

[wintry geode]

i believe thats illegal?

unless paradox has a different policy which i heavily doubt

Pointcrow whom is a Nintendo youtuber got into some trouble due to commissioning a mod for Zelda BOTW

[tall ferry]

...no

[wintry geode]

you know the law iyo?

[tall ferry]

pretty sure there's no law that doesn't let people pay for a software

[wintry geode]

Commissioning mods for games can be legal if approved by the game developer, but it may still need to consider national laws, copyright law, and hacking laws

[timber zenith]

commissioning a mod from someone is not hacking nor copyright infringement

[sand locust]

i have a mod issue; when I enable mod A, i have the same checksum as my friends. When i enable mod B, the same thing. But when I enable both, i have a different checksum than both my friends. How do I fix this?

[dusky mulch]

Can anyone recommend an economy mod please?

[sullen ledge]

English only plz

[vagrant rock]

I edited my localization file on mac for a mod (country_l_english ) and all of the country names are missing once i load the game.

Is this a textedit issue? as it is not encoding right? I'm not sure what is going on...

[fading sphinx]

can anyone help

so i uploaded my portrait mod to the workshop

before i uploaded it all the portraits were loading

but when i used the uploaded mod it dont work no more

[white cove]

Nice try for making equality focus tree

Not something like industry politics and conquer everything

[lofty plaza]

No but they probably should

[wintry geode]

oh can you add hidden ideas that grant -20 stability or smth?

hidden_ideas?

[blazing adder]

any mod which expands non-war politics and such?

[wintry geode]

this colonization system is great!

hmmm i should add a decision to enable it or disable it

FRA={has_country_flag=colonization_disabled_napoleonic}

can you remove country flags?

[timber zenith]

clr_country_flag = flag_name

[timber zenith]

you can, but there's not much point since you can just add and remove stability in any effect scope

[wintry geode]

i figured something out OR={
NOT={FRA={has_country_flag=colonization_disabled_napoleonic}}
FRA={has_country_flag=colonization_enabled_napoleonic}
}

now the code works as it should

[timber zenith]

you don't need two for enabled and disabled

[timber zenith]

flags are booleans, so they inherently are enabled or disabled

just clear the enabled flag when necessary

[white cove]

Can you make ss of Asia and a little zoom it?

[white cove]

It might be helpful for you to Spain

[white cove]

Sory I hadn’t had it in English

[white cove]

Ty

But bro

How will you check world population?

I mean what country have what number of population

[wintry geode]

i think theres numbers on that on wikipedia

1801 243,426

[proper acorn]

change "uncolonized territory" to " " and put black color, it will look cooler

[crisp condor]

jeez

When the new dlc releases, how long till Rt56 gives America an operation paperclip focus? My estimate is the second update for the mod.

[wintry geode]

[wintry geode]

how to make the historical ai complete a focus tree in a straight of a line as possible?

[crisp condor]

ai modifier thing in ur focus code

third 3.000 and so on

[charred swan]

Any mod to colorize my country without disabling achivment?

[celest dust]

Ah no

Hey everyone. I'm an extreme perfectionist and like to freak out when something isn't perfect. And that's why I wanted to ask you if anyone knows how paradox creates/paints their portraits and icons?
Was this perhaps somehow made public or something else?

Every answer helps.

[wintry geode]

what more could this event add?

they had this

idk how i would add a parliment system

[frozen swallow]

Description

[wintry geode]

Sure

[jagged tide]

i also find it interesting that those 500 dudes in the council could potentially be sent to war

i think if you're powerful enough to be considered to be made part of the 500 people gang that you def can escape conscription

for the rest looks super cool dont mind me

[wintry geode]

thats what i thought

i could add some of the men that were in the council as advisors

until it is disolved

[robust helm]

Russ

[wintry geode]

Adding Whuka

[robust helm]

Napoleon

[wintry geode]

It is going to be abolished when napoleon comes into power

[robust helm]

Wow

Nice idea

[wintry geode]

cold be a good idea to add

-5% civ construction till march

[white cove]

For example strikes in country what gives debuffs ( something like in turkey)

[white cove]

And decisions and politic goals what will give you options to delate those strikes and debuffs

[white cove]

You choose ur political party and for example change its politic to everything and try to make bigger part in parliament and election

[wintry geode]

the politician changed like every week sure

would be a good thing to add

[white cove]

Not every week

If you choose ur politician party

You have buffs and debuffs to np pp or whatever

If your party has like for example less than 10% in parlament you can have civil war and you have HUGE DEBUFFS

[white cove]

It would be changed every month with decisions and national focuses

[white cove]

It could be something similar to warlords in china

[wintry geode]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_de_Clichy

found this while researching

[white cove]

I meant politic of unification in china by warlord

[civic vessel]

Hello everyone, which files defines attractions, special projects and so on?

[pale sparrow]

alr

[mint oar]

but idk could be more or less

[hollow hamlet]

thanks for letting me know a estimate

[mint oar]

np

[timber zenith]

quite a while, this one's a big one

if they didn't get early access it could be weeks

[mint oar]

i think i read they did get it

thats not it cause its still bunker in the file

im trying to think about itbut

[deep pendant]

very stupid question but what do you use to make concepts for focus trees?

[keen geyser]

crack

[deep pendant]

i already use that every day

[keen geyser]

but jokes aside

it probably kinda relates to real life events

and the order they happened

but the things that we have no info on can be whatver tbh

or maybe i dont understand the question

nono like

like this

how do i make a concept like this?

okay i have no idea

honestly thats game design im sure some ppl studied that

not pdx tho

Basically, I want Japan to start the game as a non-aligned Japanese Empire (not shogunate) rather than the fascist one we have in the base game.

Also since both parties would have their ideologies swapped, how do I make Japan turn fascist when u complete the showa restoration and remain monarchist when u complete the "Purge the kodoha faction"?

Also how do I make a mod for it too

hello i have a quick noob question since the answer on reddit was deleted by the moderators, how do you increase the excersice cap of units to the max level?

[polar rune]

Since paradox loves us they changed it where u need to change places of airbases. With the latest release u now need to change it in map pixels in a different file. (map/buildings.txt) the file is unbelievably long as in 60000 rows but in this file everything gets placed per state. As in forts, ports, floating harbors, etc. The first 3 numbers is the state, after that the type of building and after that the map pixels (picture 1). Tip: for example ctrl+f type in '702;a'. Like this u will find your row the quickest.

Where do u find pixels?
All the way on the bottom it says the map pixel you are hovering over rn.
(picture 2)

Which part of the code do you change?
(picture 3)

Happy modding 🙂

[proven sage]

in defines, 0 is basically level 1 unit in game, so for veterans you wanna change it to 4 i think, but check that 😄

[silver imp]

alright thank you for the info, i will try that out next, just it might not work because the answer given on reddit was that then the other person said that he had the units training but not increasing the level, and then the next comment that had the answer was deleted.... hopefully, this works.

it worked out ! thank you for the help

is there a way to give a division template to all countries?

[pale sparrow]

Thats not the correct syntax

you should make a new defines file for your mod, then put

NDefines.NAir.MAX_STATS_BOMBING = 10000```
 as its only line, then you dont unnecessarily override anything unnecessary

Are there modern day mods that arent as incredibly bloated as Millenium Dawn is?
Like I really wanna like MD but its just so
bad😅

And I dont even mean the insane amount of equipment and doctrines
I think thats actually kinda fun
The Space Stuff is a little clunky but fun
But the economy is juts weird, intransparent an annoying
And the worst imo is diplomacy and the focus trees
Alot of the foci just dont feel like they are actually a "focus" of my nation. Most of them feel like "This is something that happened so we better have a focus for it" and then give you 100PP
Thats neat but i want the focus trees to give me something to structure my game by. And the MD ones dont do that for me.
So i never actually get to properly try out all the military stuff that seems so interesting.

[obtuse condor]

making a mod with a txt file with equipments.self_propelled_super_heavy_artillery_equipment.max_military_factories = 150
This deleted artillery in my game when i named it artillery.txt and did nothing when I named it something else.
I was told doing things this way NDefines.NAir.AIR_WING_MAX_STATS_BOMBING = 10000 was the best way. Is there some equivalent syntax for changing equipment?

I know I could make a mod with a copied version of artillery.txt and make my change there, but was wondering if there is a better way to do this when I just want to edit specific fields for a small number of items.

16:9 (2560x1440)

[clear rover]

Looks like you haven’t closed the visible and available brackets correctly

[stiff zodiac]

that actually fixed it thanks

[jade flint]

My vanilla game is unable to launch with my mod, does anyone know how to remedy these errors?

Does somebody know how I allow to add more support companies than in vanilla
Or a mod that does this that I could try to reverse engineer?

[grim spear]

hi

[stiff zodiac]

what did i mess up he doesnt show up

[mellow spindle]

Help! I have been debugging for a while since last night but my custom portrait won't show up, only the name shows up with a generic portrait. I have the right localisation and file extension; I have recruited the leader in the file at history/countries/
1936 startup ideology matches (democratic).

There's error: [character_manager.cpp:252]: Failed to generate a name for a character of origins French Indochina and for country French Indochina

my code in common/interface/mod_leader_portraits.gfx

    spriteType = {
        name = "GFX_portrait_FRI_eugene_robin"
        texturefile = "gfx/leaders/FRI/portrait_fri_eugene_robin.dds"
    }
}```
my code in *common/characters/FRI.txt*
```characters = {
    FRI_eugene_robin={
        name = FRI_eugene_robin
        portraits = {
            civilian = {
                large = GFX_portrait_FRI_eugene_robin
            }
        }
        country_leader = {
            ideology = liberalism
            desc = FRI_eugene_robin_desc
            traits = { }
            expire = "1936.9.9"
        }
    }
}```
Image is at gfx/leaders/FRI/ 


what could be root of this problem?

[stiff zodiac]

What is the filename for your portrait

[mellow spindle]

portrait_fri_eugene_robin.dds

[stiff zodiac]

I would replace GFX_portrait_FRI_eugene_robin
With
gfx/leaders/FRI/portrait_fri_eugene_robin.dds

[mellow spindle]

in common/characters/FRI.txt?

[stiff zodiac]

Yes

[mellow spindle]

Ok one sec, lemme try

[mellow spindle]

omg it worked 😭 TYSM! do you know why the code in common/interface/mod_leader_portraits.gfx didn't work?

[stiff zodiac]

Idk i just once read the errors it said it didnt look like a path so i just put a path instead

[mellow spindle]

oh the error "Failed to generate a name for a character of origins French Indochina and for country French Indochina" is still here

[stiff zodiac]

That is a problem i cant help sorry

[mellow spindle]

Ohhh ok, that makes sense, I had the same error in VS code too

anyway, thank you soooooo much 🙏

[lethal ferry]

does rt56 contain danzig?

[mellow spindle]

yes, as a country.

[mellow spindle]

I scrolled thru reddit minutes ago and realized why that happened, I put interface in the wrong folder
if you have the same problem then maybe you have made the same mistake? xd

**help again... ** now after I moved interface folder to the right location my custom idea icons won't work 😢, it says it can't find my files?

nvm it works in game now somehow

and errors are gone after reloading VS code

[stiff zodiac]

Funny thing that i never used the interface folder

Yet

[mellow spindle]

Lol atl now you know why there's error

[final tinsel]

i think
one of the problem is
you put interface file in common

[mellow spindle]

yep

it took me 4hrs to find out 😭

[slow kestrel]

does anyone know if theres a limit to how many model variants can be in the designer at once? I cant seem to get it above 5 unique models, not including the generic model, in the ship designer
the context is adding more ship models to choose from in the naval designer

[main nova]

Ok now there really should be no reason for this bullshit

country apparently doens't work??

As you can see I'm following the tutorial near exactly

[candid relic]

I know its possible for support companies to give bonuses based on the front line battallions in a division
Is it also possible to make it cost equipment accordingly?

But when uploading to the workshop,
The workshop version that I subscribed to myself doesn't work.

hey

can someone pls assist me rn

like

my problem is pretty specific

[gentle goblet]

You need to remove the version of the mod you have int the mod folder.

[willow aspen]

is there a mod that implements requesting airbase access

[willow aspen]

thank you for all the mods youve made

[stiff zodiac]

why wont he show up

[wintry geode]

Thanks imo

[wintry geode]

Does this code work?

[timber zenith]

don't use if inside the every_country scope

you can just put limit straight up

and please use indentation lol i can hardly read that

idk how you can

and limits are automatically AND, you only need to use that if you're also using an OR scope

wait i didn't see the or nvm lol

[wintry geode]

i am using an or scope

[timber zenith]

yeah i didn't see it mb

[timber zenith]

Can you send the code as text

[wintry geode]

every_country={
limit={
or={
OTO={
casualties_inflicted_by = {
opponent = GRE
thousands > 200
}
}
and={
every_state={

is_core_of=BUL
is_controlled_by = GRE
}
}
}
}
}
GRE={country_event = russianempire_1789_1812.66}
}

[timber zenith]

I'll send you something that might work rq

[timber zenith]

is this just for two countries?

OTO and GRE?

[wintry geode]

yes

[timber zenith]

or is the event meant to be received just by greece

[wintry geode]

its just meant to be recieved by greece

[timber zenith]

    limit = {
        OR = {
            OTO = {
                casualties_inflicted_by = {

    GRE = { country_event = russianempire_1789_1812.66 }
}```

[wintry geode]

Thanks the event chain works now

[timber zenith]

nice, i'm glad to see it

[ripe perch]

is there a way to count provinces? e.g. how many coastal provinces a state has?

[gentle goblet]

Thanks😁

[timber zenith]

what are you trying to do?

you can, in some circumstances it just depends on what your goal is

[ripe perch]

I need the amount of provinces for a mtth modifier

[timber zenith]

there isn't really a way to do it generally, at least in what I'm aware of unfortunately

[ripe perch]

has anybody experience with "days_decision_timeout", its in the documentation updated resently, but it seems not to work

[weary nebula]

Easiest way would be to just pre-calculate it (possibly using a script) and store it in the state as a variable

[rose heath]

tbh we need a new mapgen tool
randomparadox is confusing as hell
and the other tools don't seem to be as good

[obtuse condor]

Can anyone help me? I want to add a new flag for when the "Greater German Reich" is declared. But I don't know how xD

[fallow arch]

i fr want someone to make a vanilla extended cold war mod where if a axis/comintern/allied (or three way) there are focuses continuning up to the 80s, ik nothing abt modding

[nimble solar]

The game would lag and be boring as hoi4 is a total war game and no limited wars

[fallow arch]

fair

[nimble solar]

Vic 3 would be better for a cold war mod

Since it has actual politics and economy

Espiocracy also looks like a promising future grand strategy game set during the Cold War

[knotty moss]

does anyone know how to make a special project?

[dense spade]

Does out there mod to sell ship in market?

[rose heath]

Mapgen is weird giant/long provinces where there should be regular provinces, any clue what could be causing this?

it always generates them in the same places

[thin chasm]

How annoying

A decision is crashing the game every time I hover over it, but neither the error log nor the crash report will tell me why

[graceful rune]

question

how do you like put stuff in the modding folder?

[mellow spindle]

what do you mean?

[graceful rune]

like how do you put the files into the modding folder

because modding folders are empty

[light token]

Must open a folder before opening "common/military_industrial_organization/organizations/00_generic_organization.txt".

What folder do I open?

[mellow spindle]

if you have created your mod thru launcher, it shouldn't be empty

maybe you were looking at the wrong folder?

[woven bramble]

any good cold war mods?

[thorn sage]

There is some mod called Cold War Iron Curtain

It crashes frequently tho

[ruby birch]

is there a mod that adds more content to the reichskommisarriats/kaiser and democratic puppet states?

i feel like a focus tree like in better reichskommissariats (i think its called that) would be cool

and a different one for non-aligned/democratic puppets

[gentle goblet]

How could i make a on_action so that on game start it will unhide the new buildings? If you can help DM me, thanks.

[graceful rune]

I just created a mod file

what now?

[urban stump]

Ok so, Ive been trying to load Magna Europa, and it keeps crashing

[thin holly]

can somone help me my county leader isint showing i followed the hoi4 modding tutirial

idk what i did wrong

[ionic iris]

found a kaiserredux issue lmao the state of galicia is called "galicia focus tree"

[echo ore]

SAME WITH HAWAII LMAO

i had that last night

I got Hawaii as China and it was called ‘Hawaii focus tree’

[candid relic]

Its me with more questions
And this time ChatGPT was absolutely no help
Is it possible to send Volunteers via an event?

[ionic iris]

chatgpt is literally useless for stuff like this lol you would have to feed it a million forum posts for it to know how to respond to any specific situation

[candid relic]

Im pretty sure it ate all the forum posts up to
2020 or whenever it was set up

it just starts hallucinating real quick and coming up with random shit

[robust pulsar]

ello-ello!
I'm pretty new to modding and I wanted to make a mod that would play together with an event, but also keep it Ironman compatible. I know it's possible to make music play only during war, for example, but I'm not sure if it's possible to achieve what I want only using the music file.
To be more specific, it's an event for the rise of Greater German Proletarian State and since it has a global flag, I tried using that in my code, but that doesn't seem to work.
Can anybody tell me if it's even possible?

[mellow spindle]

You're following part 3 HOI4 modding guide, right?
Your code looks completely fine, maybe it just can't find your image. Make sure you have the right texturefile in your interface/_MFM_leader_portraits.gfx

[karmic raptor]

anyone else having issues with the state nudger not opening up state history files?

[graceful rune]

I just created a mod folder

what now?

[wintry geode]

is there a way to give an idea to all countries?
even if they arent a starting country?

Posen has the idea but not ducal prussia

i really want to fix this

[timber zenith]

what are you currently doing to give the idea

[timber zenith]

your common/countries/colors.txt file is just broken or missing entries

[fallow arch]

where in localization (english) can i find the file for german civil war bc i cant find a file representing that

[kind jay]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1291287262193258528/1312277701930909716/image.png?ex=674be959&is=674a97d9&hm=ed8bcc413296324139bf0a84dc10e82211129d1289c092a5402898edc2f97143&

So Ive done some changes

[warped nymph]

Is there a way to make Götterdämmerung compatible with my mod?

Like replace germanys focus and stuff bc it keeps crashing

[wintry geode]

1789.1.1 = {

LIT={
add_ideas = {
eighteenth_century
}
}
every_country = {
add_ideas = {
eighteenth_century
}
}
}
} i put this in the french history file

[timber zenith]

1800s are the 19th century btw

You should put it in an on_actions file though

use on_startup

[fallow arch]

so im trying to change the name of germany to its native name, i got the main base localization that is in countries l english, but whenever the GCW kicks off, it goes back to english and idk how to fix that since i cant find anything relating to the civil war

[final tusk]

hi! can someone help me tell me what's wrong. i created a province in italy. i'm trying to create a railway network on it but it seems to glitch in a strange way. can someone tell me what i did wrong? (the new province and the one that touches the sea between the points )

[candid relic]

Heya
Ive created a mod with a custom nation and gave it a national spirit that reduces the tension and divisions needed to send volunteers to zero
But im still not able to send Volunteers
The only reason it gives me is "Your country cant send volunteers"
Why is it doing that?
(It works with allowdiplo)

[final tusk]

It's not just the tension that influences the sending of volunteers. it is necessary to define the rule of the game for the nation on yes

with this kind of thing:

set_rule = {
can_send_volunteers = yes
}

[candid relic]

TY!
I tried putting the "can_send_volunteers" in there (that was what chatGPT reccommended) but it was missing the set_rule
Works now

[final tusk]

👍

[final tusk]

Tips: I advise you not to use Chat GPT... it's better to learn gradually (I've already tried GPT and it didn't get me very far)

[candid relic]

I went through most of the iron workshop tutorials
This just was something i couldnt get fixed

[final tusk]

I see (good choice of video as a tutorial) and good luck for the rest of your mod!

[mint oar]

hey anyone want to make a **wolfenstein **mod with me (i'll create a DC server) it will be from the years 1939- about 1950, it will be as cannon to the games as possible ( ping or DM me if you are intrested)

[unique trellis]

Does anyone know of a mod that stops your volunteer divisions from being returned if you go to war

[mint oar]

i want it to be extensive with raids and scripted peace deals and such, i need help pls

[pale adder]

is there a mod that stops puppets from sending you expeditionary forces

[tall oxide]

hey uhh is there a way i can make so that when the player or ai completes a certain focus it spawns units?

[full swift]

So i've got an interesting question... is there a way to make the 'Daytime' light area smaller?

https://i.imgur.com/6R3Mift.jpeg

...and is there any way to alter the lighting itself? I was hoping to give the map more of a dirtier brown filter, not a huge amount, but enough to be noticable.

[royal quartz]

time to restart modding 🤤

porting to 1.15 seems impossible so i'm sticking to 1.14

bruh I'm in 1.14 to avoid this error tf you mean

[broken salmon]

I had an idea that might enhance the overall hoi4. A potential mod that visually represents a timeline of major events during ww2 that the player that try to achieve based on the historical timeline. E.g. try to invade Poland by 1st September 1939, take Paris by June 14th 1940. This would be dependant on countries but could also make it a cool achievement to unlock

[pale sparrow]

Everything that can easily be done in text editor such as railways, you should do in text editor

If its not a glitch with the nudger, its probably a broken adjecancy of your province

[royal quartz]

keep getting this silly error, but the problem state has no problem

the error file is saying "province is marked as coastal, but has no port" but it hasnt crashed yet

so eh

also hasnt crashed yet

[mint oar]

anyone wants to create a wolfenstein mod with me set from 1939-1951, pretty extensive mod in version 1.15, i would need help

[royal quartz]

decent chunk of historical finished in 45 minutes, might sleep

[vestal ivy]

what mod adds more special projects? apart from the "more special projects" mod

HOW DO I UNERROR

[heavy herald]

guys how can i change a name of a province in files

[mint oar]

im new to modding but i think you just change it in localisation ?

[heavy herald]

when I search provinces there it says l_english:
europe:0 "Europe"
europe_adj:0 "European"
asia:0 "Asia"
asia_adj:0 "Asian"
africa:0 "Africa"
africa_adj:0 "African"
north_america:0 "North America"
north_america_adj:0 "North American"
south_america:0 "South America"
south_america_adj:0 "South American"
australia:0 "Oceania"
australia_adj:0 "Oceanian"
middle_east:0 "Middle East"
middle_east_adj:0 "Middle Eastern"
neighbor:0 "Neighbor"
subject:0 "Subject"

[mint oar]

just type what you want to have a name like this for example: [province_name_in_the_files]:0 "[name_in_game]"

without the "[]"

[heavy herald]

wdym in the files

[mint oar]

what do you want to do?

[heavy herald]

nvm

[heavy herald]

example I want Istanbul TO BE constantinople

[clever oar]

Anyone got a good td division?

[mint oar]

then you need to find what istanbul is called in the files

[heavy herald]

which files

[mint oar]

the hoi 4 files?

[heavy herald]

this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\localisation

[mint oar]

no in steam/steamapps/common/hearts of iron IV/history/states

[heavy herald]

oh I alr did that

I ment

like on the map it says instead of instanbul constantinople

[mint oar]

you nned to ask someone else bro its really quite simple i cant really explain it sorry

[heavy herald]

not the state

[mint oar]

a

idk

[clear rover]

like the victory point?

that's just in victory_points_l_english

[mint oar]

yhea i think so

[heavy herald]

set_province_name = { id = 9833 = Constantinople } why isnt this working

@clear rover

[clear rover]

are you changing it in a focus or do you just want the istanbul vp to be renamed

because the latter is just a case of changing the name in the vp file

[heavy herald]

ye

[clear rover]

yes to what

[heavy herald]

to do to you want to be change istanbul to constantinople

[clear rover]

then just open the vp file, find VICTORY_POINTS_9833:0 "Istanbul" and rename it

[heavy herald]

kk thx

[heavy herald]

tf is vp

[clear rover]

victory point

[clear rover]

^

[heavy herald]

finally

[heavy herald]

and how can I change flags

pls

btw is there a tool to change flags

@clear rover

[clear rover]

Hearts of Iron -> gfx -> flags

[heavy herald]

k

[clear rover]

and then change the flag you want

and save as tga with 32 bit depth and no compression iirc

[mint oar]

hey anyone that know a solution to the ai strategy errors i get every time i change or ad a focus?? im doing a new ft for germany and for every focus i justget thousands of errors??

[heavy herald]

how

which app

[clear rover]

something like paint.net will work

[timber zenith]

what errors are you getting

[mint oar]

wait a min

[timber zenith]

probably related to the vanilla focuses right?

[mint oar]

yup

[timber zenith]

yeah you can safely ignore them

[heavy herald]

bruh TF

[timber zenith]

or copy the German ai strategy file into your mod, and empty it

[mint oar]

i know but i cant find other errors in the error list

[mint oar]

tried and it didnt work

[timber zenith]

ahh yeah that's an issue
