Guys

How to I check if a building has been built

Like the V1 Cannon

[wild pawn]

Yes I'm playing historical. I'm not sure what you mean by historical focus

[lethal ferry]

at the start of the game, it says "historical ai focuses on" bottom right

but if you say so

[wild pawn]

Yes

It's always checked. I haven't gone into ahistorical yet

[lethal ferry]

U have other mods active that might be interfering?

[wild pawn]

Nope.

Well i have road to anime to accompany it, but that's just musical and graphical - makes no difference whether it's on or off

[midnight sail]

does anyone know how to move where the research titles are? ex:

still doesnt work

[left condor]

i'm losing it over this

what am i missing here

cause it's showing the generic tree for hungary

[gloomy hornet]

Can somebody tell me how to get a completely blank map?

no tags in the mod

one state

a completely blank canvas

[obtuse condor]

That would be fun but maybe add some oceans/large rivers

To make dividers

[median night]

[pale heart]

[hybrid jolt]

Holy based luxembourg focus tree

I don't know anything about Luxemburg history, but this is good for practice

Maybe one day I'll make a massive tree with 759 focuses for Tannu Tuva

[pale sparrow]

It looks weird but just copy paste it into a text editor as I made an approximate layout where the stuff makes most sense

[wind dock]

is there an mod that groups production lines. like 1 group for tanks 1 group for planes

[forest delta]

Hi I am trying a mod with a custom map. I made it and launched (without any countries) but I am getting this error in the live error log (that opens when launching in debug mode) over multiple provinces.

Province 375 is setup as coastal but has no port building in the nudger. This will likely crash the game.
Note this is on all costal provinces, this is just an example

[wild anchor]

Just curious is anyone currently working on further development of the rise of nations mod?

[swift forge]

Somebody knows where to send a message to confirm your mode to be added?

[midnight sail]

how do i move these around????

[midnight sail]

before and after

when i make it so you need cruiser tech for airplane launchers it gets rid of all of the techs that airplane launchers lead to

[wintry geode]

do you guys ever add like 40 generals to 1 country in one sitting?

[obtuse condor]

man i appreciate that modders take the time to design a UI that fits the theme of their mods, but i wish they would allow you to choose default UI too somehow. it looks cool and all but it can be very unreadable like in TNO or NWB

[mossy condor]

I feel like the official tutorials for modding are pretty vague

[pale sparrow]

Such a choice mechanic is impossible to make

has to be a seperate mod

[gray prairie]

the longer you play it the less unreadable it becomes

i played tno so much for me its just normal now

i like it its a nice little quirk

[final tinsel]

does it looks good?

[sand acorn]

@vocal geyser Does the new great darkness team have a lore document or any other resources related to the mod that you're able to share?

I've been working on a personal project to rewrite/redesign the mod with a plot more grounded in reality revolving around a large network of bunkers underneath Yellowstone that are managed by the United States Civil Defense, though I'm curious about what you guys have on hand

[sand acorn]

Here's a proof of concept portrait I designed and some images I've collected to use for event pictures

Some sample event writing also if you're interested in seeing it. Also attached a few loading screen images I've put together.

[midnight sail]

does ANYONE know how i can move these titles please 😭😭😭

[midnight sail]

it looks horrible like this

[gentle goblet]

You can move then in the .gui or in the technology folder.

[midnight sail]

would that be in interface?

[gentle goblet]

Go to common and then technology then open the file you want to change it should be there or go to interface then countrytechtreeview.gui and change it their. It should be in one of these places.

[tall oxide]

hey uhh so i made a custom map like states and textures and everything but it always crashes,Can someone help me fix this?

[twilit raptor]

What’s it called when a major mod is combined with another? Like rt56 with kaiserreich which makes autobahn nach 56 but what are those called?

[astral geyser]

How do you use GetFlag for $COSMETIC_NAME|H$

[fossil cradle]

making a submod but it keeps crashing. wasnt able to solve yet

[gloomy hornet]

I have made a map using mapgen

everything works fine

except one thing

the provinces are weird

they work

so it appears to be graphical

the borders of them are not showing up

[left condor]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

wth

oh now it works

[earnest stirrup]

is there a mod or soemething like that, so i can make the borders myself?

[quartz sundial]

Should’ve been sablin

[eager dock]

How I can mod division templates? I did it but when I run the mod I can't see any change

[languid copper]

why are you always cooking tho

[gentle goblet]

Because i spend way too much time on each project i am making. This one took around 4-5 hours

[languid copper]

damn but how can you equip the divisions with different types of armor

or is it progressional

[gentle goblet]

The icons are only there to look good. It’s actually just hidden tech that adds bonus to all infantry units.

[languid copper]

will full body armor make the units slower or is it just more buffs

[gentle goblet]

Its will give them more hp but make the production cost more.

[lilac sundial]

Does anyone have a good solution to add critical success chance into this UI? I wish to change around some values and let players know what influences critical success chance

[languid copper]

you should be working at paradox

[lilac sundial]

so far as far as I can see, there is only 10% base crit chance plus xp bonus, but Id like to add some more

[gentle goblet]

Thanks, just so you know all these project will be in Better Mechanics : Extended Projects that i am working on.
It will include around 30 projects.

[languid copper]

30??!!!

thats crazy

[cinder creek]

I’m trying to make a custom nation and all seems to work fine but for some reason when I build a new factory or get one from a focus I have to tag over to another country then back for the game to register

Guys, can anyone please tell me if this is normal? Thank you very much

I have no mods turned on, and my game does run normally. However, when I turn on debug mode, there will be 261 erros upon initializing the game.

[languid copper]

[gentle goblet]

That is actually a good idea, thank you. Like adding meth chocolate.

With what?

[raven hedge]

With cosmetic tags not showing upon on_action "on_ruling_party_change"

@lone hearth

Do you have any Idea?Sending the code

[lone hearth]

This code is correctly written

[raven hedge]

I know right

@lone hearth Though result is weird

When I change government,It just doesn't change flag and

name

It drops the cosmetic tag whenever I change ideology

[lone hearth]

Is the cosmetic tag well defined in loc and gfs/flags

[raven hedge]

what's loc

[lone hearth]

localisation

[raven hedge]

oh

yeah I did

I have done ideologies of it

and flags

names

etc

Hell I even looked at hoi4 wiki

[lone hearth]

Try set_cosmetic_tag TUR OGZ_democratic

command

[raven hedge]

It does work from

console

I need to do it without console

I need to do it with on_action

[lone hearth]

Try on_government_change as maybe on_ruling_party_change is with subideologies

[raven hedge]

ok

@lone hearth

Results didn't even change

yet without any error

[lone hearth]

Sometimes HOI4 works in mysterious ways

[raven hedge]

Yeah...

But most interesting thing is

Whenever I don't use set_cosmetic_tag

and instead try to do make a civil war on the country

where ideology changed,It works

@lone hearth

????

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/On_actions#on_ruling_party_change

lol

It's the opposite thing

i tried to replace every possible flag of germany with the real one

but in game

its just showing black

for the large flags

in hte gfx folder

i can see small and medium

but not large flag folder

the big one is not showing while the smaller ones show

[kindred axle]

Every flag has his own size, if you go over the size or make It to Little It wont appear, or maybe you didnt save the file correctly

[fallen mesa]

i manually resized every file

so i basically copied the image from the net

pasted it on the existing flag file

without expanding canvas

and manually sized the copied image to the size of the canvas

[fallen mesa]

but which ones in the flags folder are meant to be the large images

[kindred axle]

Its written on the folders

You go to flags

And there are

Big

Medium

Small

It should be there

[fallen mesa]

theres no big

i watched some tutorials on youtube

neither did they have big

but the big flags of other countries still appear

[inner marsh]

photoshop ig

[frosty gulch]

How can I make it that it needs both focuses to be done instead of 1

[thin chasm]

The first answer is always, "Look through the game files and figure out how they do it in the base game"

But in this case, you add prerequisite = { focus = focus_id_here } to the focus

[frosty gulch]

like

both of them?

[thin chasm]

If it requires all the focuses, you add one for each individual focus

If it's either/or (the one with the dotted line), you instead format it as prerequisite = { focus = focus_id_1 focus = focus_id_2 }

[frosty gulch]

I think you tagged the wrong person

[raven hedge]

Could somebody help?

[thin chasm]

I believe you're going about this the wrong way, my friend

If TUR already has the cosmetic tag OGZ, you can set the name for the country with that cosmetic tag without having to apply another cosmetic tag

[raven hedge]

wdym

I'm trying to make cosmetic tag permament on the country

after a decision clicked

[woven breach]

Does anyone know why the submod (to Metro mod) that runs from the workshop does not work (the path and file system work), but the disk version works without problems?

[spring zinc]

Cursed

[thin chasm]

First, rename the cosmetic tag from OGZ to TUR_OGZ just to clarify what it is and which nation it's for

 TUR_democratic:0 "Republic of Turkey"
 TUR_neutrality:0 "Turkey"
 TUR_communism:0 "Turkish Socialist Republic"```

In the localisation file, you can see that TUR is named like the above, but you can also name your cosmetic tag the same way as a regular, consolidating the 4 tags you wanted to make into one.

``` TUR_OGZ_fascism:1 "[OGZ_fascism name]"
 TUR_OGZ_democratic:0 "[OGZ_democratic name]"
 TUR_OGZ_neutrality:0 "[OGZ_neutrality name]"
 TUR_OGZ_communism:0 "[OGZ_communism name]"```

[raven hedge]

Thank you will this prevent

Hello, I am trying to make a mod where the IC is 0 for the player. The problem is that the AI doesn't make new divisions ( as in train new divisions) and only makes the equipment it starts with.

[patent linden]

Question:
I've read the "Dynamic modifiers" section of this wiki entry: "https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers#Dynamic_modifiers", the way i've understood it, is that dynamic modifiers appear similar to ideas in game i.e they show up next to them. I am now trying to add a dynamic modifier on startup to a country,

this is the modifier

{
    picture = generic_war_preparation
    enable = { always = yes }
    
    set_variable =
    {
        var = prussian_army_attack_factor
        value = -0.10
    }
    set_variable =
    {
        var = prussian_army_organization_factor
        value = -0.10
    }
    set_variable =
    {
        var = prussian_army_morale_factor
        value = -0.10
    }
    set_variable =
    {
        var = prussian_army_initiative_factor
        value = -0.10
    }
    set_variable =
    {
        var = prussian_army_conscription_factor
        value = -0.10
    }

    army_attack_Factor = prussian_army_attack_factor
    army_org_Factor = prussian_army_organization_factor
    army_morale_Factor = prussian_army_morale_factor
    initiative_factor = prussian_army_initiative_factor
    conscription_factor = prussian_army_conscription_factor
}```

And this is the part where I try to add it

```on_startup =
    {
        effect = 
        {
            GER =
            {
                add_dynamic_modifier = 
                {
                    modifier = state_of_the_prussian_army_dynamic
                }
            }
        }
    }```

However, the modifier is not showing up. Did I misinterpret the Wiki entry or is my implementation faulty? (Side note, i tried both the "scope" parameter in the "add_dynamic_modifier" as well as the version I used here, neither works)

[jolly mural]

Set variables in the history file or somewhere else, not in the dynamic modifier

[patent linden]

did that, didn't work still

[jolly mural]

Try moving adding the dynamic modifier in the history file instead of startup on_action

Or your icon isn't correct so it's not showing

[patent linden]

I am going to slap myself

I wrote "picture" instead of "icon"

Works now, thanks for the help

Hello, I am trying to make a mod where the IC is 0 for the player. The problem is that the AI doesn't make new divisions ( as in train new divisions) and only makes the equipment it starts with.

[patent linden]

Can't help you with that, sorry

I have a question too:

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Decision_modding#Decision_cost

In the section "Decision Cost" i found the "custom_cost_trigger", I also found the statement As the custom cost can't be used in conjunction with the regular cost, if it includes political power, the AI will not be aware that it should save up an amount of it before taking the decision. This can be remidified with ai_hint_pp_cost = 100: this attribute will make the AI think that the decision will use 100 political power regardless of whether it does or not, making sure it will save up that much before trying to use it. This must be a constant amount rather than being a variable. In particular the "ai_hint_pp_cost" is of interest to me. How would I "create a hint" for the AI for something that is not political power, e.g army experience or manpower? I can't find anything conclusive about that in the docs...

they were more interesting before the annexation

naples > italy and holland

the only notable thing about the dutch was the marines

aside from that you dont got a lot of freedom unless you wanna bring out even the smallest events

[wintry geode]

i managed to make all the focuses for 1805-1810 pretty easily

ill make so 1796-1805 or so netherlands be mostly generic focuses

[slender violet]

old hoi4 ew

[obtuse condor]

for maximum shock value

question: is there a mod that allows me to "focus" my industry? one that allows me to either spread my factories on a lot of projects or concentrate on a few but then with more civs:

For example, with 60 civs after CGF i have 4 construction lines of 15 factories ordered in a queue.

now i take a decision to re-allocate them to 3 lines of 20 civs to speed up the construction of a few buildings because the enemy is at the gates and i really need those forts now.

or i can decentralize my construction efforts and start building in 6 lines at once with 10 civs per line only.

then i can set a goal for construction queues, say i want 6 lines, which get filled up to the set centralization cap after rank in the construction queue, but so that every line has at most 1 civ less than the line in first place, creating an equal spread.

is there anything like that?

[wintry geode]

is there a way to create new adjacencies and connections in the game?

[sand summit]

Opinions on Switzerland right tree so far?

[patent linden]

I find it weird that you "Align with Italy" and then later "borrown the Italian Alps"

[sand summit]

Borrow the Italian alps is for after Italy switches

[patent linden]

switches to what exactly?

[sand summit]

To the allies

Or just stops being fascist

[patent linden]

I wouldn't include that in the focus tree, that seems attached to too many ifs

You could make it a hidden decision

that is only visible if italy is not fascist/ joins the allies

[sand summit]

That's a good idea

Thx m8

[patent linden]

you're welcome

I personally like making little decision categories that you have to actively engage with in order to progress something, gives people something to do instead of just waiting for a timer to tick down

Could be done for the territorial expansion here in general, but that would take too many focuses away for the focus tree to still be viable

[winged knoll]

Question, what are some countries you guys think could've had a unique focus tree by now but got overlooked

Besides Mongolia

[true latch]

Menkukuo or whatever the hell that japanese puppet is called

Albania maybe

how would i make it when a state is nuked, the state becomes owned by a country?

[patent linden]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/On_actions

[midnight sail]

thanks bro

[patent linden]

no problem

[pseudo smelt]

Hey I got a question

[patent linden]

in what context

[pseudo smelt]

I’ve been playing iron curtain mod and I’m trying to figure out if this is a work in progress thing or if I’m missing something. I can’t lobby anything

Which makes it impossible to pass laws

[patent linden]

try starting a new test run and see if that works anything

otherwise it's probably best to comment that question underneath the Mod page, the developers of the mod definitely know the answer to that

[midnight sail]

and then it would be ?

on_nuke_drop = {
    effect = { 
        USA { Annex }
    }
}

[patent linden]

I'm unsure, maybe

{
    effect = 
    { 
       ROOT =
        {
          transfer_state = FROM
        }
    }
}```

[midnight sail]

ok i'll try it

[patent linden]

state according to this is FROM

scope should be ROOT

[midnight sail]

and where would i mod this? i want it to be so that when nuking any state it transfers it to a certain country

[patent linden]

<mod_folder> > common > on_actions > 00_on_actions

This might sound a bit stupid, but try reading these things up on the wiki. Most smaller question can be answered with that without having to wait for someone to come along and answer it, saves time

[midnight sail]

hmmmm.... I think this would just transfer a fixed state and not the targeted state right?

[patent linden]

well, it transfers a specified state. The state is used in that snippet is "FROM" which according to the wiki entry is the state the nuke was dropped in

so FROM is different everytime a nuke drops

as long as the nuke isn't dropped in the same state multiple times

[midnight sail]

trying to test this is there a console command for instant raids? checked the wiki and cant find anything

cuz rn my mod crashes after a little while

[patent linden]

I have no experience with that, haven't bought Götterdämmerung yet

[cursive pivot]

[patent linden]

you're welcome

[patent linden]

Well, NSU is missing a history file

make one

[cursive pivot]

uhh

it does have one

[patent linden]

does the tag NSU exist/is the tag declared properly

[cursive pivot]

yes

i can setowner

color works

name does not

nor ideologies

[patent linden]

weird

[cursive pivot]

yea ig hoi4 decided to flip me off

or i messed up somewhere ig

[patent linden]

the only detail from your error message that confuses me is that it mentions 1936.1.1.12 as a date

maybe its missing behaviour for a bookmark

[cursive pivot]

uhhh

bookmark?

[patent linden]

startdates

1936 and 1939 are standard

[cursive pivot]

lemme check

[patent linden]

send the history file btw

[cursive pivot]

sure

[unreal forge]

The 12 at the end is the hours

Bcs hoi4 starts on jan 1st 1936 at 12:00

i was more confused why it mentioned a date at all

[unreal forge]

Oh right

[patent linden]

thanks anyway

[patent linden]

I have a question myself now: The last update has created states that now come into ID conflict with my custom states. What's the best way to resolve this problem? Change my states to other IDs or change the new base game states to other IDs? I am using my custom IDs in other parts of my mod so I am hesitant to shuffle around anything here because it would break stuff at other points...

[chilly field]

How do I mod a decision which renames a leader?

[chilly field]

I’m tryna rename Otto Von Habsburg to “Otto V” if he restores the HRE

[cursive pivot]

yippie i fixed it

[midnight sail]

how does the game create these boxes?

[midnight sail]

so this is a far more complex question but is it possible to make it so that u can target multiple states? or that when u nuke one state its bordering states get transfered aswell?

[jolly mural]

You can use every_adjecent_state from the original nuke state scope

[midnight sail]

thanks

[jolly mural]

I wouldn't recommend the latter. You'd just make it worse when the other updates hits

[patent linden]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect#Character_scope

[patent linden]

so I'd bascially have to move my custom states around every time the game adds new ones?

[chilly field]

How would I implement that?

I’m pretty new to modding

Would it be Like

set_character_name (
Otto_V
)

In the hidden effects?

[jolly mural]

I don't know if mods override it somehow, and it probably depends on your mod, but yeah I think so

[patent linden]

oh boy

[jolly mural]

At least if its based on vanilla somehow. I don't think EaW needs to bother for example

[patent linden]

set_character_name = Otto_V

[chilly field]

Oh Ty

[patent linden]

I'm starting to understand why people don't bother updating some mods anymore

[jolly mural]

You can use replace_path to overwrite state changes iirc, but since I don't need to do that I'm not super used to it

But I can imagine if it's based on vanillas states + extra it might still cause problems if new updates drop.

For example a new focus tree in vanilla might target state 245 but if that's now something else in your mod thats gonna cause problems, but you might not notice it because its a silent error

[midnight sail]

I tried but this doesnt work

      transfer_state_to = USA
      every_adjacent_state = {
        transfer_state_to = USA
    }

[jolly mural]

That's too little to go on

Do you get any errors? And what does the rest look like?

[midnight sail]

no errors and this is the rest

on_nuke_drop = {
    effect = { 
       FROM = {
              transfer_state_to = USA
              every_adjacent_state = {
                transfer_state_to = USA
            }
        }
    }
}

oh i do get errors

no

then i think you should add dependencies code on descripotor.mod

collectivism is not vanila ideology so if you didnt add dependencies code on descriptor.mod, it will not read your (reference mod's) ideology

[simple harness]

my own mod for my own universe. "monarchism" and "vuldarism" works, then why collectivism or the character is not works

[final tinsel]

ah is anarchism in collectivism?

change recruit_character = (your character) on top of recruit_character code

if there is two or more leaders in same ideology, it starts with top one

[simple harness]

no, its like same but different things like anarchy spain with neutral anarchists and commie-anarchists

[final tinsel]

country leader problem i think

you should set subideologies in

country_leader = {
  ideology = (subideology)
 ...
}```

collectivism is ideology, not subideology

so you should change collectivism into collectivism's subideology

[simple harness]

i am still confused as to why it isnt firing

[lapis flume]

yo i just created a mod and uploaded it to workshop but when i subscribe to it i have 2 in the launcher, which one do i mod (add files to)?

[lapis flume]

either the country already had that idea (like the same name) or something else

[static wasp]

its for ireland
its completely new

[lapis flume]

well from what i remember an idea needs 2 things, that name, and also a key like "YUG_croat_nationalism_suppresed"

i mean localisation

so the unexpected idea couldnt load or is it still there?

[lapis flume]

ireland is a default country so maybe that, anything deeper than that idk good luck

so the official tutorial is completely wrong?

because im sure i put in the required parameters that it has

Yeah but I want to make so that Austria can only take the focus if Otto is their leader

[static wasp]

okay im absolutely dumbfounded i really need help

because its an existing nation therefore it should overwrite but the map just squanders and shows no country existing whatsoever

[chilly field]

letss goooo i fixed it

[nova heron]

Ayyy nice

[fervent lance]

help

i appear to be stupid

[dusty plover]

Hello, I am trying to ask if anyone or if any devs of the game know how to implement the Special Project Facility Requirements that are mentioned in the documentation. See here the documentation and the error of it not being recognized.

[chilly field]

When modding a decision how do I change a leader name and portrait

I’m doing a hre mod as Otto Von Habsburg and I’m making a decision for after I form the hre that’s called like “Coronate Otto V” and changes his portrait and name to Otto V

[lapis flume]

well when u make a new nation it needs colors
what did u do to the world before that 😭

[lapis flume]

screenshot localisation too

cuz everything else works

[burnt hornet]

Im thinking about making a France reworked mod

3 communist paths, 2 democratic, 3 fascist, and 3 monarchist + free france and Vichy france

I already got the Napoleon path fleshed out in my head

[proud nova]

I'd play

[burnt hornet]

You can invite the little entente to the continental system

[proud nova]

please make one path stupidly strong

[burnt hornet]

As well as Poland

[burnt hornet]

Napoleon path is going to be that path

[proud nova]

lol

[burnt hornet]

Recruitable population bonuses galore

But in order to balance it i would have it where you have to have a certain army size to get war goals on the low countries, Germany, Spain, and Italy

@lapis flume

[static wasp]

what exactly does this mean?

i had a deeper look and its why my focuses are failing

annotated so you understand what i mean

(the focus should be there but it isnt)

and i have no clue why

i do have a pastebin of the thing if needed

im bruteforceing coding because of my low attention retention

so i used hoi4modding.com

[fresh mauve]

can someone tell me why the game doesnt register im trying to change fascism popularity

i scripted it the exact way chat gpt told me ;-;;

ping me if you want to help me

[fresh mauve]

in the focus tree it shows up as _noun

and doesnt do anything

[static wasp]

it goes:
add_popularity = {
ideology = fascism
popularity = 0.1

(i just copied this from my brick of code)

i think that should work atleast

[fresh mauve]

tysm

[rapid radish]

anyone knows how i can fix this?

[elfin dock]

I have no idea how to fix my rights, I have created several laws in my mod, none of them are showing

i did 1:1 from tutorial

any ideas how to fix it?

[fresh mauve]

concription?

concription law

[elfin dock]

partly yea, but i want to do it as a separate law

[fresh mauve]

idk i havent gotten that

rn im tryna figure out why all my idealogy leaders arent working

and learning all the script commands

[elfin dock]

Im tryna figure this out too

[fresh mauve]

well not all my leaders its weird since some work some dont

[fresh mauve]

good luck

[elfin dock]

my flag doesn't work

[elfin dock]

Actually nothing works

[fresh mauve]

it works for me

[elfin dock]

U mean dds?

[fresh mauve]

[elfin dock]

Dang, i forgot

[fresh mauve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XulAELfxPDc&list=PLt_7vUaEvaGTJ0ISBqY2v4EyfmPALiVS7&index=7&pp=iAQB

lol franklin d roosevelt wasnt appearing as leader because i spelt his name wrong

"fraklin D roosevelt"

[elfin dock]

I'll use video someday because literally everything needs to be finished, I'm kinda desperate

[elfin dock]

The worst part is finding error 😭🙏

Im making mod of myself taking power in Poland

[fresh mauve]

lol

then what happens after that

[fresh mauve]

...

[elfin dock]

Im takes power and crating the great Lechic Empire

[fresh mauve]

woah

that was real?

[elfin dock]

😂

No

[fresh mauve]

ik every country in europe has had their moment tho

[elfin dock]

(for me yes)

[fresh mauve]

im 'merican btw

im making a mod where the us break out into an ethnic civil war

[elfin dock]

Im from Poland

[fresh mauve]

anglo-irish confederacy vs deutsches amerika vs italian america

its gonna be one of those schizo mods

[elfin dock]

somehow it doesn't convince me

I mean

[fresh mauve]

convince of what

[elfin dock]

Of ur mod

[elfin dock]

I don t know

It should be about ideologies

Not ethnicity

[elfin dock]

You should add black revolta

Or somethin like this

[fresh mauve]

im going to add a tree to make it so you can depose fascism and turn the confederacy into a black liberation front

[elfin dock]

You re making it alone?

[fresh mauve]

but that would be while at war with deutsches amerika

[fresh mauve]

yea

im not adding any special effects or anything

[elfin dock]

Im making mod alone too but my friend is making portraits

[fresh mauve]

i just took pictures of the internet and slapped them in

shame a lot of them had to black and white

i tried asking grok (ai tool) to make the portraits i downloaded into color

but it kept changing their faces

so some of my portraits are in color some arent

and oh boy is it going to take a long time when i get to the characters

im making the mod exciting

jake featherston leads the anglo irish confederacy

[elfin dock]

how long have you been doing this mod?

[fresh mauve]

and theres going to be a path where you can make heinrich himmler become the leader of deutsches amerik

few days

[elfin dock]

💀

[fresh mauve]

and then also a path to make father coughlin into the leader too and turn deutsches amerika into a religous fascist ethnostate

and im not worried about going to far considering the stuff ive seen in the fire rises

[elfin dock]

You' ll need someone in future to help u in this mod

[fresh mauve]

ik

[elfin dock]

That s to much

[fresh mauve]

i dont know how to script everything

but its only reserved to america

everything else is the same

[elfin dock]

In my poland too but its still too much

I have done a lot of scripts but half of them not works 😔

[fresh mauve]

except maybe turn germany and italy against each other through a path to depose the communist leader and replace him with vittorio mussolini (mussolini's son) and make american italy allied with real italy. Since Deutsches Amerika and Italian America are fighting each other and Nazi Germany supports Deutsches Amerika, technically that could bring Italy and Germany to war

[elfin dock]

That s too much

You should do only civilwar

And after

Just do focuses

About conquering

America

[fresh mauve]

and then make a 3-way war between the celts (France, Ireland, Uk) Germans (Deutsches Amerika, German Reich), and Italian (Italian America and Italy)

i wont have to change too much of the European focuses

or even at all

just a script to make countries form new alliances

[elfin dock]

That s too much for me

Im my mod, im adding law where you can get 80% recruitable population

[fresh mauve]

idk theres no hurry for me

[fresh mauve]

sabaton music plays AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

[elfin dock]

In my civilwar, there are 4 fractions

My poland

Monarchist

Sanacja, Oposition

Ukraine, revolution

And lithuania

Becose of Vilnus

[elfin dock]

And Sanacja oposition will be in scripts a diffrent country with differnt id

What do you think ? @fresh mauve

[fresh mauve]

how r u gonna make poland strong enough to do all that

like

the map u showed me earlier

[fresh mauve]

makes sense

im assuming theres a fascist and communist faction in there right

[fresh mauve]

e

i respondedededed

[elfin dock]

I don t know, maybe ukraine will be fascist becose of Stepan Bambera

[fresh mauve]

do u know how to the script to add a civilian/military factory to a state

ima ask ai that question

[elfin dock]

This civilwar will be without Soviet influence becose i don t want to make mote scripts

[elfin dock]

Just open national focuses scripts from game and check

But idk

I have to go

[fresh mauve]

cya

[fresh mauve]

can you help me with adding civilian/military factories/infrastructure basically modifying a state?

[burnt hornet]

I'm about to start my research for my France reworked mod

the outline of the mod is this
3 communist paths, 3 democratic paths, 3 fascist paths, and 3 Monarchist paths

Dommunist paths are CGT, Anti fascist alliance, Stalinist, while Democratic paths are Blum -> Daldier -> Reyound (historical), Blum, that conservative guy whoose name I forget
Fascist paths are Latin Entente, La Cougle, and Revise Versaills
and lastly for Monarchist, Oreleanist, Bourbon, and Bonaparte

first focus is 28 days and covers the Resignation of Laval https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare–Laval_Pact

I know it was on January 24th IRL but I think 4 days is not that big of a deal

[glacial solstice]

How to form hre

I need a decent tank template

[quaint ore]

I finally got it working!

[elfin dock]

Can someone help me about what i could possibly did wrong about making new law? i have no idea what i could do wrong, help

[lapis flume]

how do i assign states to countires on the beggining of the game faster

im trying to make white russia and im taking land from soviets which u can guess takes a while by adding 1 by 1 state in the folder and changing owner for each one

[mint oar]

takes like 2 min but ok

[lapis flume]

border shall be at urals

[mint oar]

idk just start and the your done sometime someday

[lapis flume]

k i guess 💀

[stuck cliff]

what I usually do is write a python script that lets me write each state id and automatically edits the files for me

but you've still gotta gather the state IDs

there might be a way to get it from a save game file if you turn off save_as_binary in your settings.txt but don't quote me on that I'm just theorizing

[pale sparrow]

No such tool yet afaik

[small meteor]

can anyone suggest mod that add focus tree for British Malaya?

I already tried rt56 but there aren't much focus tree for British Malaya

[stuck cliff]

darn

I could probably make one in my spare time because I have looked through the file all the data is there, it's just about turning it into a usable format

[fathom lotus]

hi folks, how does one create a (preferably good, or at least decent) entirely new map from scratch in this beautiful game?

I wanna create a like, kind of warlord battle royale mod, with each country being led by me and one of my friends, and although that can be done in any old map, I'd really like for it to be in a south-america exclusive map

cause vanilla (and most mods) have kind of lackluster south america maps, and me and my friends are all south-american

and afaik there exists no such map, so I'd have to create it myself

I feel like it should be noted that I have pretty much no modding experience, and minimal knowledge 😔

[pale sparrow]

Theres some tools you can find in modding discords that generate maps

But you might wanna make some very simple mods first to understand those tools better

[stark frigate]

does anyone know which mod this unique infantry equipment belong to? along with its own support company.

[burnt hornet]

Im gonna need some ideas for focus’s on the sub branches and spirts (military, navy and airforce) for my France rearmed (reworked) mod

I already decided to give the disjointed government a 0.01 daily support on, communism, fascism and non aligned

[timber scarab]

Cheeto company

[plush river]

I wanted to start modding and I entered "-debug" in steam's launch options then I deleted "-debug" but every state is numbered do you know how to fix it?

[gentle goblet]

What mods are you using?

[stark frigate]

Like a lot of mods, some mods that has some features aren't mentioned in most descriptions also my main mod overall is rt56 and the rest is just some addon mods or rt56 improvements.

[burnt hornet]

So I'm starting my France rework mod, should I use the vanilla French focus tree as base or should I just start from scratch

[mint oar]

depends if you are new to modding

[burnt hornet]

i'm new

[mint oar]

and you should make a plan before going ham with the tree

[burnt hornet]

I already have a plan, its basically a moderinzation of the French focus tree from La Restisance

like updated to NSB, BBA, and GDR quailty

[mint oar]

then dont start from scratch i would say

[burnt hornet]

further down the development line I'm gonna add Morocoo, and French Indochina as playable nations along with Tunisia

I already got Morocoo mapped out

Morocoo can reform Al Andalusia

[final oriole]

What is command to prevent ai guarantes?

[mint oar]

aint none i think

but there is mods

[final oriole]

mods are outdated
