Why do negative army modifiers (like speed or attack) not work through decisions? army_speed_factor doesn't seem to increase/decrease the speed

#

specially when applied to other nations

glass acorn Mar 21, 2025, 11:59 PM

#

If you want another country to apply modifiers like to another country, it might be better to just give them a timed idea that follows the amount of time the decision is active for

#

So for example

#

France does decision "UK Navy bad" which lasts for 180 days

#

UK then gets a timed idea that lasts for 180 days, which then has debuffs

#

Said idea and decision end at the same time, making them effectively tied

polar island Mar 22, 2025, 12:05 AM

#

glass acorn France does decision "UK Navy bad" which lasts for 180 days

yeah, but how strange. Even after adding an idea with army_speed_factor = 100 to another nation, it seems like it doesn't even work.

it is better to add country flag like trade_law_blocked_at_game_start and add it to countries you don't want them to have diferent trade law

#

trying to replace the art for prc_advanced_infantry_weapons.dds, and no matter what I do it still shows the old one instead.

i have it right here where it should be, named exactly how it should be

#

i did the exact same thing with chi_advanced_infantry_weapons.dds and it worked.

#

but for PRC it just wants to have the old one.

Advisors bug how to fix?

Okay so I have a problem with the country view screen( where you hire your advisors, change laws, upgrade MIOs etc.). The problem is that if I put same advisor slot types( so for example theorist ) in different rows then when I hire an advisor for one of these slots it hires the said advisor for both slots in different rows, now if the advisor slots are in the same row that bug doesn't happen, does anyone know what might be causing the issue?

yeah the say that the issue with the names changes in ship with no major is due to something with the IA, for example if you try to have as Canada the Ottawa Class ( a F/G/H/I class vatiation) every time the ia actualize using preset the name changes

well what im trying to say if you want to roleplay history and change the standart names form the Ship (Advance crusiers,...) for less powerfull minors when the IA use the Preset the name goes Actually back to the standart name, forcing the player to check and change the name againg and is tedius. Also to notice that most Commowealth desing where brithis with slight name changes. a halfsolution will be a way to save the name.

The error message in Hearts of Iron IV (Failed to create orders group) usually happens due to one of the following reasons:

Possible Causes:

Mod Conflict – If you're using mods, one of them might be causing an issue. Try disabling mods and see if the issue persists.
Corrupted Game Files – The game files might be corrupted. Try verifying the integrity of game files via Steam:
- Right-click Hearts of Iron IV in Steam
- Click Properties → Installed Files
- Click Verify integrity of game files
Outdated or Incorrect Game Version – If you’re using an outdated or beta version of the game, it may cause issues.
Permissions Issue – If the game lacks permission to write files, try running it as an administrator.
Bug in the Game – Some patches introduce new bugs. Check the official Paradox Interactive forums or Steam discussions to see if other players have reported similar issues.

Possible Fixes:

Restart the game and your PC.
Disable all mods and test.
Verify game files on Steam.
Try a clean reinstall of the game.

If the issue persists, could you provide more details? Are you using mods? When did the error start occurring?

the game only crashes when I try to start a run

so i can still access things like the nudger

the nudger also cant find any problems

I'm trying to give cuba a national focus tree and for some reason, whenever I open the national focus screen, it crashes
also my localization file isn't working
and I can't seem to modify history files to add starting national focuses

#

these are my localization and focus tree files, I know the issue must be in one of them

📎 bettercuba_l_english.yml 📎 CUB_focus_tree.txt

#

my history file is the exact same as cuba's vanilla history file except with elections turned off by default and this line:
add_idea = CUB_unstable_government

#

ideas = {
    country = {
        CUB_unstable_government = {
            picture = generic_disjointed_gov

            modifier = {
                stability_factor = -0.2
                political_power_cost = 0.3
                drift_defence_factor = -0.5
            }
        }
    }
}

which is defined like this

#

ok as it turns out:

add_idea is not a valid function, only add_ideas is, which makes the fact that the base game tries to call it concerning
I defined relative position wrongly

#

ok even when fixing all of these the game STILL crashes

#

the idea does show up though but its name localisation isn't there

#

oh my localisation file is in the wrong encoding

#

the crash is an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION that is occurring in PHYSFS_swapULE64 but I don't know how that has anything to do with the changes i made

thin chasm Mar 29, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

heavy needle can someone help me with interpreting the code for the likelyhood of an event?

According to the event code, they have an AI chance of 75 to accept that event if it fires, multiplied by 2 if their opinion is greater than 55, and divded by 50 if you've caused at least 30% world tension

#

Meanwhile, their AI chance for refusal is 25, divided by 2 if their opinion is greater than 55

#

You want refusal to be higher than acceptance

#

But I believe relative army strength also plays a factor in this sort of decision making, though I don't know how

Side note: they left this cool emote in the comments for the event refusal code

[12:52:17][1936.01.01.12][character_manager.cpp:188]: Failed to generate a portrait for a character of origins , of gender male and portrait type army

I can hunt down the offending countries and thus the offending characters. An example is

        portraits = {
            army = {
                large = GFX_Portrait_Europe_Generic_land_4

                large = GFX_Portrait_Europe_Generic_land_4

Outside of that though I haven't used a ton of QoL stuff lately (I haven't played mods in general for a while tbh)

That's sorta the fun of it, I enjoy screwing around in my games rather than being serious about them. Also, it takes a crap ton of PP to make a demand but whatever.
Also the AI chaos is fun.

how can one turn 70 focues into 35 days?

pale sparrow Mar 30, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

theres premade mods for that

nova heron Mar 30, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

vestal gorge how can one turn 70 focues into 35 days?

In the game code, in the focus, there's something that says "cost = 5" or "cost = 10". Basically, that nuber*7 is the amount of days, so if it say's 10, then that's 70 days. Just change it to 5 and it'll be 35
(stupid fingers sends the message prematurely)

pale sparrow Mar 30, 2025, 8:03 PM

Changing the FOCUS_POINT_DAYS define can change the duration of all focuses

#

Absolutely, never directly edit the game files

vestal gorge Mar 30, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

why?

nova heron Mar 30, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

It affects the base game, without mods, which can be really screwy and a huge pain if you mess up or want to change it back.

vestal gorge Mar 30, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

ah guessed that kind off lol

nova heron Mar 30, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

Also, it makes a bunch of things, such as achivements, permanantly unavailable until you manually reset the entire game, and I believe it f's up multiplayer

how would I add a country leader role to a vanilla character? I tried defining only those parts in the mod but the game doesn't see them

CUB_fulgencio_batista = {
    country_leader = {
        ideology = conservativism
        traits = {
            CUB_political_strongman_1
        }
    }
    country_leader = {
        ideology = rexism
        traits = {
            CUB_political_strongman_2
        }
    }
}

this is what's in my files

CUB_fulgencio_batista={
    advisor={
        slot = army_chief
        idea_token = CUB_fulgencio_batista
        allowed = {
                original_tag = CUB
            }
            traits = {
                army_chief_offensive_2
            }
            cost = 100
            ai_will_do = {
                factor = 1.000
            }
    }
# TODO[ PORTRAIT LARGE ]: Missing large portrait please check!
    name="Fulgencio Batista"

        army={
            small="GFX_idea_generic_army_south_america_5"

Is the trait and it's effects defined where it's supposed to (00_traits.txt I think iirc)? (I don't know a whole bunch about leader traits yet I haven't done a ton on those, so if so then sorry I'm not gonna be much help 😔 )

I believe so, 20/7 is ~ 2.86, so if you change the cost to that it might work (maybe I don't play around with decimals a whole bunch)

If you do is_ai = no

Then it'd only happen if it's played by a player

Do_Nothing
Else = {

I will assume you meant recourse rights in that case I think it’s the dlc By Blood Alone that you need to take the navy, reparations demand etc.

Especially after Gotterdammerung I've noticed:

Supply hubs aren't shown in the supply map, and you can't edit them
Modding an existing state/strat region duplicates the folder, so instead of "History>States" It's "History>States>History>States"

It's how you edit the map in HOI4

Like add new states, regions, etc

If you are using vscode and dont hate it i HIGHLY recommend getting the bracket colorizer plugin

#

Itll color bracket pairs which makes it easy to find errors

#

And keep track of which brackets go together

crystal sand Apr 4, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

I wanted to use it for these reasons, but its not insta saving after every line made, making it hard to see the focuses in hoi4

Making it hard to troubleshoot and make sure the focues are in the right position

Like I got 3 focuses working, but idk where to go from here, and what makes it worse is the fact the industry focus wont move its position on the X axis
