[junior cipher]

Have an idea for a chaotic mod that someone with more skills in modding than I have:

Random Civil War. Every country has a chance to enter into a civil war at any moment. This chance increases by 1% each month.

how to make a new province type?

[opaque heart]

Hello, im making a new map mod that depicts a fictional world that starts with a tech equivalent to WW1 and can develop up to the Cold War equivalent, currently i've already made the whole map and created 16 initial nations in the files, however i only know of one way to give states to each nation which is to set them as the owner/controller in the state files, my map has over 1000 thousand states so this can get intensive, is there no quicker way to edit the states to give them to countries? i thought the Nudger would help but got no luck there, any ideas?

this is the map

manualy editing each state file seems very laborous, im sure there's another way? lol
if not then i guess i should start working on it right away so i can finish soon

You need to scale down the Portrait to 156*210

any ideas on what to do?

[stable cove]

I have used tool box and other mods attempting to claim wotjek as my own and a general of the German Empire. after annexation of poland he appears to be one of the only generals I don't get could someone explain/show the fix to this I'm sure it has something to do with editing a file.

[spice knoll]

I don't know what equipment slot you're talking about.

if you're talking about module slot, I don't think you can dynamically unlock module slot. It is based on chassis

[gentle goblet]

If any one needs help with project blueprint gfx tag me dm i be happy to help. (For free)

[gentle goblet]

What do you mean? Like research slots?

[long briar]

Yeah i meant that

[long briar]

Something like this

But i also want it to be compatible with this mod

So something like this but for aircraft airframes and ship hulls

And so far when I test it it usually just says that the slots aren't unlocked for this equipment type

[spice knoll]

you need go to units/equipment folder and open the chassis/airframe file to edit each chassis to be able to unlock the slot you want

[lapis flume]

does anyone know how to change research date? since my starting date is 1920 i dont want infantry research to be in 1936, i tried putting 1921 but they all collided in one place

[spice knoll]

start_year = 1921. the position = { x = 0 y = @1936 } is visual side, so if you edit incorrectly it it will mess it up and collide in one place

@ 1936 is a variable, the variable is defined at the top of the file usually. So in your case I guess you tried to edit it to @ 1921, but it is undefined so it default to 0

Thank you very much

[keen finch]

Been trying to find an answer to this issue everywhere but I'll drop a question here as well, ever since the gotterdammerung update my total rework mod for hoi4 got very laggy when the game is unpaused, the mod has less content then vanilla game so it shouldnt be slower then vanilla in any case. The game logs don't give much of a help either, right now I'm a bit stuck on how to fix the weird lag issue, I'm guessing it's something to do with the special projects

whats wrong with the code?

Hi guys, I don't know how to create and develop mods, but I have good idea

[orchid osprey]

What is an effective way to make a custom map? (not earth map)

[pale sparrow]

Do tell, however keep in mind almost everyone who can create mods has good ideas as well

[small fulcrum]

My idea: a mod about Esperantujo. In this mode will be much content about Poland, you will be able to nationalize all regions and countries (like on spain in anarchy path) - This is small part of my consept
If you wanna know more - you can ask me

[neat turret]

it is possible to add a impassable thing as a province not a new state?

[rare grove]

Yeah

Put the map/adjacencies file in your mod

but i have in mind a create province as impassable terrain not a state

[rare grove]

that how you do it

[rare grove]

put this for the province borders you want to be impassable

to make states impossible you change the history/states files

you could try an industy vs experience split; give the soviets bonuses to production efficiency or factory output, and maybe some pretty strong army buffs and better military high command/army xp gain for the whites

What HOI4 file is the most useless

I'm pretty far along in my mod and want to free up space, it's 2.41 gigs (it was 2.76 gigs earlier today) how can I fully decimate all bloat

[lapis girder]

Yo lads does anyone use gimp for map making?

[pale sparrow]

Wdym

Did you copy the entire game into your mod? 🤦‍♂️

[steep scarab]

Nearly

[pale sparrow]

...

[steep scarab]

I managed to purge and get down to 2 even gigs

[pale sparrow]

GFX takes up almost all the space

[steep scarab]

but what files need to be ridded first

[pale sparrow]

you are aware that you dont need any files in your mod that vanilla has?

[steep scarab]

I deleted all portraits of Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo?

[steep scarab]

How about the ones like history/states

or the map

or the basics at all

I'm pretty far along

[pale sparrow]

map is big but cant be skimmed down if you override it

[steep scarab]

What specific GFX files gotta go?

[steep scarab]

This here

Anyone not alive at the start of the mod has had their portrait removed

[pale sparrow]

If you dont override a file, it shouldnt be in the mod

[steep scarab]

So anything besides basic things like commons

Again, I'm tryna free up bloat

[pale sparrow]

Mods dont have bloat though

if you make them properly

you only need to include files that you change

[steep scarab]

So as in. Purge E V E R Y T H I N G

[pale sparrow]

Probably

[steep scarab]

What are essential files you aren't supposed to however

I'm scared if I purge too hard nothing will work

So I'm going easy

[autumn basalt]

Purge Like in purging French people?

[pale sparrow]

Im really confused what you mean because mods dont need to include any vanilla file unless youre changing that file

[steep scarab]

Yeah just purge all unedited GFX leader respiratories

Just did it for Yugoslavia

[pale sparrow]

For reference, a total overhaul might look like this

[autumn basalt]

Can someone make an Mod to only Nuke France

[steep scarab]

So just purge all GFX that ain't ours

[pale sparrow]

yeh

unless you use replace_path but selectively want vanilla files restored, maybe thats an exception

but I doubt thats the case

because in tutorial that i watch he dont do anything in this file

[crystal folio]

I would use cosmetic tags and switch between the tags using the on-action on_ruling_party_change. Quick and dirty alternative is to apply the cosmetic tag as an effect of the focus or decision that's changing the ideology.

Yes but make sure it's encoded in UTF-8-BOM or else it won't work. Also should be in a folder called "english". Path should look like [mod]\localisation\english\[filename]_l_english.yml

Made my first mod! A change to aircraft squadron size to 50 from 100. Not a historical size for the squadrons, but it should play well with the airfield sizes of 200/400... The size of 24 in some mods did not seem to play well with Naval damage, thus I am experimenting with 50.

Also I am playing with a China buff since they seem to lose worse than history to Japan when both are on AI. Also - any ideas for a nerf to British Raj or the Dominion of India as Japan never reaches Burma.

Do focus tree's slow down game speed

And if so, how and why

And would replacing them with a generic focus tree fix anything

Same question about national spirits

[chilly field]

is there a way to rename a sea?

im making an overhaul mod

i wanna rename it via decision

[lapis flume]

from what i saw something like soviet union tree would slow it down (but only of u do it on alot of nations, idk for national spirits)
i put generic focus trees in my mod and i dont notice a big difference

the actual thing that impacts speed is the amount of countries and divisions

look at TNO and tell me it isnt laggy

fr

[lapis flume]

thanks again i'll see later

[chilly loom]

tno is suprisingely fast

Im worried about Millenium Dawn

Millenium Dawn is probably one of the worst optimized mods

[lapis flume]

my TNO is slower than millenium dawn

o

[chilly loom]

and I suspect its due to the sheer amount of content it has

I was doing a ranking, ignore the markers

but look at how many irrelevant nations have content

[lapis flume]

no way they put transnistria on top

[chilly loom]

And I wanted to know if removing/replacing a lot of these focus tree's with smaller generic ones would make an impact

[chilly loom]

its the most recent content they put on top

but the fact transnistria gets content is a problem

[lapis flume]

well since its a massive amount of countries in this scenario it does make a difference

your names are lame

[drifting loom]

Hello. My civilian factories in the game are constantly falling without me doing any trade etc. Could it be related to the focus tree?

[obtuse condor]

are you playing germany?

[drifting loom]

Yes

[obtuse condor]

did you go with this side of the focus tree

[drifting loom]

Yes

COULD IT BE DUE TO MEFO ANALYSIS?

[obtuse condor]

yeah that does it, basically germany's mefo bills makes it lose its civilian factories to consumer goods

if you can't conquer quickly enough it can get really annoying

when you conquer countries you can use their resources in the decisions screen to reduce the effect of the MEFO bills on your economy

you need to do this focus to remove it completely

but to be able to do this focus you need to capitulate either USSR or the allies

since you can't get enough resources otherwise

the right side of the tree is terrible if you're not gonna speedrun, in an even remotely historical game(i.e no paratrooper shenanigans to capitulate the UK very quickly) then the left side is 100% better

[drifting loom]

Do you think it would be appropriate to proceed with the left focus tree without MEFO analysis?

[obtuse condor]

you can't go the left side at that point, you'd need to restart the game to do that

if you have went the right side, try to capitulate the soviets quickly

what year is it in your game rn and how far along the war are you?

[drifting loom]

new game still in early stages, 1937

I have been facing the same problem for 3 days. I am constantly losing factories because of MEFO grains and I am forced to surrender in 42.

Even in 42, I only had 23 factories :))

[obtuse condor]

if you go mefo bills, you 100% need to win fast, otherwise your industry suffers

if you're new to the game go prioritize economic growth instead of 4 year plan

[obtuse condor]

but this is not normal even with mefo bills, are you building civs early game?

[drifting loom]

Since the number of factories is very low, I am also printing military factories and I am faced with insufficient growth.

[drifting loom]

I will proceed without economic growth and MEFO analysis

Gonna ask again - after adding my custom event, the game just kinda refuses to accept its existence and i don't fully understand why?

[spice knoll]

did you add namespace at the top of the event file

[low dragon]

I tried with and wihout it

[spice knoll]

you should add namespace, it should include with the name of your event

[low dragon]

I cant access my laptop right now i'm gonna try again later

[spice knoll]

so if you have two events like paragon.1 para.1 you should add both with add_namespace = paragon and add_namespace = para

[low dragon]

Okay thanks

(i typed namespace wihout the add thing maybe that's why it wasnt working)

I am trying to make a thing for switzerland where, by completing the focus, you can hide/store either allied or axis gold (or maybe both) and attempting to make it so that the longer you keep it after the war, the less buff it gives you until eventually turning into debuffs. is there any way i could do this? (preferably you would pay off the debts via descisions, i just have no idea how to code them :=D)

this is a guess but I think that what is meant by category is the country, in the image that I send is highlighted, it is necessary to have it for national ideas to work, there is also the industrial_concern, for companies, I do not know if it is correct but, I hope that can help you.

That is not in fact the correct file! To change a country name you need to make a localisation folder in your mod folder and then make a countries_l_english folder and then you can copy and paste the country’s name you wanna changes details into that file and edit it

There’s also a alias (idk if it’s called alias fs) file you should also copy and paste and change to get it to work

is there a mod that changes how MIOs work? make them less annoying and streamlined, shit like having them apply retroactively to equipment etc

especially for ships holy hell it's so annoying

and if there isn't, is there a way for me to mod them so they apply retroactively?

[outer birch]

ye Ty I

[honest eagle]

Golden rule of modding: if it doesn’t break the mod completely don’t fiddle with it 🙏

It’s also a error caused by the program not being able to interpret something @nova heron

[honest eagle]

Np👍 if you have any more issues don’t be afraid to reach out and I’ll try my best to help

[honest eagle]

This can be caused by improper syntax

Or formatting

[honest eagle]

I don’t think there’s a mod for it but I’m sure you could make one

I don’t know the specifics for MIO modding nor its abilities though

[nova heron]

Huh, that's weird. I don't think I've got improper syntax though. For example, it's doing it in the color.txt file, all the bracket blocks are working except for the one I put in (copy and paste of the prior ones or replacement of one, for example for a test I replaced Poland with something else, replaced the POL tag in color.txt with my own tag, changed the numbers a little bit, and it's saying parsing error in the space before the first number but after the first bracket.)

[honest eagle]

Might be odd spacing?

Send a pic of the code?

[nova heron]

I can't access my code for color.txt atm (I'm currently unable to access my PC), but here's another a photo I took like a week ago of another location where the error is happening (I did change the numbers around, now they match Belgium's color RGB now). It's just a copy and paste of Polands country file

Essentially, it's the same problem in the color.txt file, but instead of being on the number it's in the space before the number.

[honest eagle]

That’s so weird

[nova heron]

This error is showing up everywhere as well, not just here, in the same random locations @honest eagle, for example in my national_focus or history/country files, which all have the basic format copy and pasted

[honest eagle]

Did you add a new VSC extension

[nova heron]

Just the basic ones that the Paradox tutorial suggests, and all before I started work on this project.

[honest eagle]

Very interesting

Does it break the mod? Or prevent it from functioning?

[nova heron]

The color files I believe aren't registering the correct colors, and the files where the countries name would be inputted to be displayed in game (I can't remember it's name, country_tags or countries I think though) is having a similar error and the name isn't showing up in-game. However, I haven't been able to check, it won't load in the mod anymore (the game crashes when it initializes) so I'm trying to find the bad bit of code that's causing that issue so I can check the focus tree stuff and all that. However, basic gameplay-wise, from what I've seen so far, it doesn't break it completely, just a little bit annoying.

[honest eagle]

That’s so weird

[honest eagle]

For the color thing did you leave the other countries color in your mods color.txt file? If not that’ll mess up the code

[nova heron]

Yes, I basically copied the entire folder and just replaced Poland tag and RGB with my own

[honest eagle]

And I’d try remaking the issue code to see if it errors out again and if it doesn’t then you can just assume you went wrong somewhere

[honest eagle]

And it’s changing all the countries colors?

[nova heron]

Nope, everything else is fine. The error shows up only after I modify Poland, in the space before the RGB color, and it shows up as a random piss yellow rather than whatever color Belgium is. Everything else works fine though.

[honest eagle]

Polands powers beyond our comprehension ig

[honest eagle]

Maybe try making a completely new entry for Poland at the top of the text file and leave Polands regular color where it’s supposed to be?

Idk if that’ll fix it but that’s what I’d do

[nova heron]

I can try that, yeah.

[rare grove]

is this good focus tree design more or less?

will add more althistory focuses when i feel inspired i do have a few in mind

[lost crescent]

does anyone have millenium dawn mod

[summer comet]

i accidentally followed stipulations with germany as the soviets and now am war against the allies. How do I undo it through commands or something in game?

[nova heron]

Do you have ironman on?

If not you can just reload an earlier save without editing the files if you really wanted to

"load game"

[summer comet]

i dont have an earlier save

it is really far back

@nova heron

[nova heron]

Darn, alrighty, I'm not gonna be much help with this then, sorry.

[jolly furnace]

You can use trainer to force console in Ironman on but it will turn off your stats and probably achievements (50/50 but as I remember you still will be able to get them) this game. In console you can try whitepeace command this should work but I’m not sure.

[nova heron]

Opening the console and entering a command I believe turns off achievements, as well as modifying the game, including the files and saved game, of any sort.

[prime pawn]

They should make a port of Iron Hearts 4 for mobiles

[nova heron]

That would be hell to play

[spiral plank]

This would be the hardest version of HOI4 which should have its own achievement

[cosmic fulcrum]

idk if I am allowed to speak polish (mods pls don't delete)

Ej robie moda na hoi4 w którym Polska jest w wojnie domowiej w 2020 czy 2025 roku szukam ludzi podobny to TFR dm me

[nova heron]

@honest eagle, I was finally able to get on, tried what you said. This is a copy and paste of Belgium, with only the tag and the random tab spacing changed so it's the same as everything else.

Same thing here

And an issue with the GER line, which I didn't even touch except to move a row downwards

And one more instance of you need it 🙃

This is a copy/paste of Angola's history file

[honest eagle]

This is so weird

I’ve never seen it before

Does it tell you anything if you click on the error?

[nova heron]

Just "failed to parse"

[analog coral]

Do yall have any tutorials to enter into the modding thing?

[outer birch]

I removed the file of the state names from the mod and It fixed the names of the vanilla states but on the file I also have the names for the added states

how do I fix this

and when I remove it ( I fixed the state )

[lapis flume]

check out iron workshop on youtube

he is outdated for localisation but he explains all the main aspects

focuses, states, new countries

decisions events

Now i have a question:
how do i make custom images and slides on the main menu screen
something like fuhrerredux and TWR

[verbal knoll]

wtf happened to my great war redux save

[honest eagle]

Iron workshop and the official hoi 4 YouTube channel have great guides

[honest eagle]

That’s actually insane idk what to do tbh

Try rewriting the code maybe?

[lapis flume]

world isnt all colorful you know

jk

[raven hedge]

How can I turn off all specialities for only Turkey in Bosphorus DLC

[nova heron]

A lil update, it's not screwing up the colors stuff anymore, and a bunch of them just disappeared randomly, some of them are still there but they don't treat seem to be causing any issues. This is so silly but at least stuff is working now, for the most part.
-# typical me to have something crazy like this happen

[analog coral]

If I know, Modding is just changing files.
But is programming a thing in modding too?

[supple aspen]

is there a mod that gives the ai controled countries more manpower and equippment

[outer birch]

guys how can I add A dmz to a state (demilitarized zone)

[honest eagle]

Kinda

You can “program” stuff for decision UIs

[honest eagle]

Jesus 😭
Eventually the issues gonna be found and it’s something super minor lol

[analog coral]

Can you give me an example?

[honest eagle]

Iirc RT56 has a custom Chinese faction alignment decision UI

I’d assume that needs a certain amount of custom-ish code

[analog coral]

Cool

[honest eagle]

But hoi4 modding is pretty well defined

Like you can’t make functions and parameters

[nova heron]

Oh definitely. All the color stuff is working now, which is super nice, and my countries name is showing up on the map. Now there's a random parsing error in my national focuses:

       country_event = { id = arnor.1 days = 1 }_

       }```
(The underscore at the end of the country_event block is the parsing error, and I'm not remembering my programming correctly I know, so that is 100% wrong, I copied the block from Germany and changed the event name basically).
The silliness of this all escapes me, but I don't think it's causing any issues right now for here or anywhere else, which is super nice. Thanks a ton for helping out though, I really appreciate it (hopefully I can find out why the silly my program is bugging out)!!

[raven hedge]

Any ways to do it?

[outer birch]

anybody?

[raven hedge]

It's easy

<state_id_of_yours_here> = {
  set_demilitarized_zone = yes
}

[fast mesa]

Anyone got the Fire Rises Discord?

[lapis flume]

i couldnt find anything on youtube plz i need answers

[raven hedge]

I know a person who have succeed in this but I don't know how he did

I forgot his username so yeah

[lapis flume]

dang

they add this on the start menu

i need something like that to slide in

i just dont know where to find the files

[honest eagle]

I really hope you figure it out and if you do please let me know!

Huge W on the colors working now

[nova heron]

Definitely, I will do that if I do.

[paper valley]

after making a state, the country Is like a wasteland. https://pastebin.com/Rbjppw5b error log might help but If you need to see the scripts for the states and stuff like that pls tell me

[misty crystal]

is it possible to make focus that ll instantly research technology?

[meager meadow]

whats the best modern mod

[paper valley]

i think i have to give the country ownership maybe but idk if i do tell me how pls

[night imp]

hey

i'm making a mod about my own joke country

is nerduzreik a good name for the mod?

[rose heath]

Would be really cool if you could change the amount of hours passing per tick in hoi4

So instead of 1h, you could pass 6 hours, or even the entire day

[dim epoch]

Why not make a mod that removes navy but keep convoys ONLY and naval invasion

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-begging-pretty-please-beg-on-your-knees-pray-for-mercy-gif-10678931350545522063

[sweet ivy]

Couse navy is funny and helpful

[hot grove]

any mods that change a lot of focus trees but makes some countries interesting like new zealand etc?

also anyone knows the link to the correct TNO mod?

[frozen nova]

Hi, im doing a new mod for France, can i send the link to the discord here ?

[raven hedge]

How can I delete Bosphorus DLC's Turkey Part without completely eridicating it

[queen mesa]

who was a older version of TNO: long and ardous road for 1.14

[lavish lance]

I'd say Road to 56

But I don't know about New Zealand

[ancient kelp]

are there any mods that implement a decent economy system, or a system that simulates post-war demilitarization?

I'm just generally trying to find a mod that allows for more natural roleplay with economies or stuff happening after a major war.

[lavish lance]

Kinda a submod of R56 is R56 some streamer edition I think

Kinda adds some thing there iirc

[nimble solar]

Discardian?

[lavish lance]

Yea that one I think

[ancient kelp]

the discardian edition?

[nimble solar]

I would say if you want an eco system, play vic 3 lol

[lavish lance]

Based

[lavish lance]

Yes, but R56 is a big mod

So there might be some smaller economy mods

[ancient kelp]

i play with road to 56 because i havent purchased legally through legal methods the dlcs yet

[nimble solar]

We don't talk about pirating

[ancient kelp]

ojh shit

[lavish lance]

Dangerous words to say here

[nimble solar]

Because the mods are omnipresent when they aren't sleeping

[ancient kelp]

man i love purchasing legally dlcs

[ancient kelp]

ive been tryna find some but i havent found any that work yet

[lavish lance]

Why don’t you just get the subscription service? 15 euro every 3 months

[ancient kelp]

I already found a way to legally purchase the dlcs, its just that it only works on my PC and I dont have much time recently to do so

I mainly play on mac anyways so the purchasing doesnt work

hoi4 is also very good without dlcs anyways

the mods are great

[lavish lance]

Would say R56 with DLCs very good

[ancient kelp]

compared to ck2 no dlcs, hoi4 no dlcs is like a dream come true

[lavish lance]

But yes to summarise. I believe the RP mod Discardian edition there adds some economy things

[ancient kelp]

ok

[lavish lance]

Otherwise just play Black Ice :^)

[lavish lance]

Isn’t that a good idea @nimble solar

[ancient kelp]

black ice? ive seen some videos and it looks pretty good

it feels like everyone is being sarcastic about it though

[nimble solar]

I'm never touching that mod

[ancient kelp]

💀

[lavish lance]

Good luck if you decide to open that can of worms

[nimble solar]

That would be a 100k sub special

[ancient kelp]

alriiight

[lavish lance]

It’s very hard sorry no f-word

[ancient kelp]

does blackice have good economy?

I'm just generally looking for a mod that can help extend game time a lot tbh lmaooo

because rn after ww2, the game is basically over no matter what the factions of ww2 are or whtv

[lavish lance]

It’s very micro manage

You even have to manage ores and stuff like that

Bauxite etc for steel

[ancient kelp]

that sounds really fun for multiplayer

[lavish lance]

Otherwise something like Iron Curtain

Hard to get into because it overhauls so much

[ancient kelp]

cold war iron curtain?

[lavish lance]

Yea

[ancient kelp]

:chud-nothing-happens:

[lavish lance]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-ever-happens-chud-chudjak-soyjak-90-seconds-to-nothing-gif-9277709574191520604

[lavish lance]

Basically

But proxy wars

[ancient kelp]

how it feels to expect something to happen in the cold war

[lavish lance]

China war, Korea War, Vietnam War

Plus you’re a player so you decide what to do

[ancient kelp]

true

idk maybe im looking at the wrong game for this, but just a mod where it takes a little bit of the focus of military and allows the game to continue without snowballing after the end of ww2

[lavish lance]

Hmm..

[ancient kelp]

because after a certain point every country has snowballed so much, and there isnt any like

incentive to demilitarize

[lavish lance]

Division limiter

[ancient kelp]

thats only divisions tho

hoi4 eco exponentially grows

so like by 1945+ everyone is a superpower has a billion planes, civs, mils, and infastructure

idk if theres a way to combat that

or maybe thats just part of the game

[lavish lance]

Kinda

It’s meant to start slow and build hard

But I get what you mean

[ancient kelp]

for sure and thats why i think early game is so satisfying

but then by the end youve already exponentially grown so much that theres like no point in continuing

which is fine in singleplayer, but for multiplayer like

idk

[lavish lance]

Genuinely don’t know

[ancient kelp]

yeah whtv game is good enough either way

[lavish lance]

But I think that’s kinda to reward people for doing well in conquering

[ancient kelp]

yeah but right now what it does is just give a complete victory, and theres 0 opposition anymore whatsoever

which can be good for like 1-round games

like the games bokoen has that got me into hoi

but coming from ck2 its also fun to have games that continue after a few wars, with the status quo changing through war

instead of one singular total victory

[lavish lance]

True

Hmm

[ancient kelp]

not sure if thats possible

what me and my friends are doing rn

[lavish lance]

Hagakure is pretty fun

But still not really what you’re looking for probably

[ancient kelp]

is lowkey just limiting what people can take in peace conferences, and then just saving the borders, but reseting infastructure, construction, and divs.
Making a separate mod for that, and repeat

its kinda dogshit system tbh

but it gives winners advantage in next game without it being a total victory

[lavish lance]

Might need a custom mod for that honestly

[ancient kelp]

lmao
