[gilded karma]

Can i reuse UFX focus icons from other mods or should i ask to?

[fallow carbon]

You MUST ask.

[grim warren]

great war redux really makes me feel like i'm a ww1 general

stupid troops cannot push

and im wasting thousands of men for 2 tiles in northern france

[gleaming depot]

Can someone say to me if Red Flood updated?

[fallow carbon]

On the 23rd last month 19 days after the DLC release. Takes two minutes to check on steam.

Ok Hoi modding plugins for VS code show you what needs fixing for the most part cool.

[zinc girder]

Guys which is the best modren mod atm

[glass acorn]

Yeah no it's not just my mod that's breaking the nudger

Supply hubs don't show up on base game either

[fallow carbon]

Huh. I was updateing my mod from 1.15 and supply hubs were fine.

Do they also dissapear in game or just the nudger?

You can code states, stratregions, defines, railways, and supply hubs manually. Buildings and units are what I found it the most usefull for.

And if all else fails check if you are using it correctly and try validateing game files. Who knows may be it will help.

[glass acorn]

Will this work

[glass acorn]

Aghh I don't know what's wrong

Idk if it's the scripted effect or the global flag not working

But it won't actually add the effects

[icy fable]

Is it allowed to use portraits from DLCs when modding?

[fallow carbon]

You using these? Might help find errors. Aside from that I'm not familiar with what you are doing.

[patent furnace]

hi

can i ask question about making mod ?

i use mmct make a music mod

but i don't know what bug make it can't play in game

[glass acorn]

Got em and they seem to be helpful for the future but

I don't really see any errors with the code

Now I did notice that the countries didn't seem to start with the global flag

I have this in on_actions to try and give them it

But it doesn't seem to work

I also tried putting it in the actual history file of them and it didn't work so

[spark stag]

        else = {
            if = {
                limit = { NOT = { has_global_flag = Est_Not_Recognized } }
                remove_ideas = Not_Recognize_Est
                remove_opinion_modifier = { target = IES modifier = not_recognized }
                remove_opinion_modifier = { target = IES modifier = not_recognized_trade }
            }
        }
    }
}

@glass acorn did on mobile but it's just a syntax error/ wrong word

use the paradox wiki btw, it's useful for checking this kind of stuff

also maybe use Naturen syntax u can find it on steam

looks like this if you tweak it a bit

[glass acorn]

Mmkay

Error log doesn't help either

Both the On_Action and Scripted_Effects line have the Portes label

So if they errored it'd show

Using list_flags also show no flags set

[spark stag]

hmmmmm

[compact swift]

does anyone know if there's a mod that allows a player to force puppets onto AI countries during peace conferences?

[snow root]

Hi.I'm trying to make a mod, but there are no normal guides anywhere.Can you help me make sure that the country gets one factory once a month?

[dapper wadi]

Yea made it myself

[pale sparrow]

Monthly on action

[snow root]

More details pls

[pale sparrow]

See the wiki/modding guides

Theyll say the same stuff I could type out

[snow root]

The wiki is very raw and nothing is clear from it.

[grim warren]

Any mods that improve late game lag? how well do mods like spot optimization and AI shackles work?

[woven fossil]

Damn

How many joysticks does a gal need to suck to get a GFX artist?

I am looking for a GFX artist also. The pain of modding

😭

[tulip prairie]

yeah...

it's so hard finding good ones

[woven fossil]

I used to have a gfx artist and his icons were amazing but for some reason he just vanished

I have a back up plan but that will cost me putting in more money to develop my mod

and I dont want to do that cuz it is already expensive

[tulip prairie]

hm?

wait no way

commission people??

[woven fossil]

Yes

I already spent 200 bucks for art for it, mostly portrait

[tulip prairie]

do NOT do that, you still have a chance to find dedicated people

[tulip prairie]

holy shit

[glass acorn]

Me who just uses base game gfx:

and loading screens are a min 200 bucks, I hate my life

I would but ponies do not have hands

[tulip prairie]

this hurts to read

200 dollars...

[woven fossil]

Yea

Do you guys know anyone who can do it for cheaper in the style of EAW?

My mod is a submod for EAW

[tulip prairie]

sadly no

tbf I'm kinda intrested

got a server link?

[woven fossil]

Yes

[tulip prairie]

dm

[woven fossil]

Its a mod that adds a schizo path for my favourite mod, Posada

[glass acorn]

So much armor modules 😭

[woven fossil]

Wait, for my mod or EAW?

Also who drew that cutie?

[tulip prairie]

me

[tulip prairie]

your mod

[dreamy sedge]

could someone help me? I'm having an issue where I'm trying to add a character, but for some reason when I have the character file loaded almost every other leader just breaks

here's an image of my file and folder structure:

and this happens in game:

[obtuse condor]

does anyone have any recommendations for beginner friendly mods?

[glass acorn]

Where/what in the hell is this file

I've looked in both my mod in the base game and I can't find it

Actually I might have an idea

Nvm found it

It was another mod I had on

[buoyant isle]

RT56 is pretty standard if you don’t want to stray away from the main game, Kaiserreich is fairly simple to follow if you want an alt history

[obtuse condor]

thanks! ill try it out now if it downloads quick enough

[pale sparrow]

you checking the error log?

[glass acorn]

Is it possible to make Dynamic Modifiers use regular icons?

[pale sparrow]

Yeh

[pale sparrow]

But picture argument auto-inserts GFX_idea_ or something, dynamic modifiers might not do that

[glass acorn]

Cause I added one but it doesn't really work

[pale sparrow]

Ah

Ill look in-game in a moment instead of educated guesses

@tulip prairie Please no advertising in this server

[pale sparrow]

Fairly poorly

Itll have more impact if your PC is especially bad but early game only 5-15% impact, lategame more, but still not that big

FPS map is notably the biggest impact early game and doesnt impact gameplay

[limber torrent]

not my antares

what will tau do

[glass acorn]

Any solution to the dynamic modifier icon yet?

[limber torrent]

nvm

[grim warren]

Early game is good enough tbh, lategame is the problem

I do use the fps map, good thing i prefer the looks of it over the default map anyway

I think there's a mod that prevents the AI ​​from creating puppets during peace conferences, does anyone know about it?

[sinful eagle]

Really?

[pale sparrow]

Id guess this is all the code you need

[sinful eagle]

Seriously!

I didn't know how to make it lol

[pale sparrow]

    ai_dont_puppet = {
        peace_action_type = { puppet }
        ai_desire = -1000
    }
}

Save that as a text file in common/peace_conference/ai_peace inside a mod

[sinful eagle]

I created a folder by uploading mods from the launcher, but is that okay?

[pale sparrow]

yeh thats how you create an empty mod

add a common folder inside it, then a peace_conference folder inside that, and an ai_peace folder inside that, then in that ai_peace folder you make a text file with that code bit

[sinful eagle]

Is that all?

I did copy directly from vanilla, but what could be causing this error?

[nova heron]

Hey, I'm making a Total Overhaul for the first time, and honestly I'm a little lost and demotivated to work on it. How do you guys who have done it plan out everything, organize everything, and motivate yourselves to work on it, as well as balance and coordinate everything? It's a lot and I'm a little lost with it, and it's definitely taking a toll.
Also, are there any good resources for what the hoi4 community generally wants/critiques of current things (such as the focus tree system, etc.) more organized and developed than the forums?

[analog coral]

... I wanna know how to fix it and it to show the map not asking about nothing related to files

[pale sparrow]

Make it piece by tangible piece

Dont work on everything at once because its demotivating to have nothing finished to look at

[nova heron]

That's part of it, there's so much I hardly know where to start. I've got a country, focus, basic ideas, and a couple of events for it, part of it is the visual progress on it is lacking and I'm definitely hitting some road blocks in the creative design process with it.

are there mods to make the game go faster? I've been seeing them on steam workshop but a lot of them just dont work.

no I mean more like making research or focus trees go faster

[pale sparrow]

oh

[dusty crest]

I'm not exactly the type to like

sit there for 8 hours

waiting

idk

[pale sparrow]

ngl 8 hours just means your PC is horrible

But there should be some mods to scale focus times

research time however is a bunch trickier

[dusty crest]

why, is it a different system

I would have thought they reused the same one

nah

focus days are scaled by a variable normally set to 7

[sick torrent]

Did you click the '+' on your keyboard?

Or are you playing at 1 speed

[dusty crest]

Not time wise, I just want the in-game days for research and stuff to go down

So we can get to the cool stuff faster

[sick torrent]

Then youd have less build up time to use economy+poorer game balance

So it doesnt exist on a big scale no

[dusty crest]

How would that affect game balance, if the AI have it too you’d be on the same playing field

[sick torrent]

Nations dont start with the same economies? Some scale faster, some scale worse, a lot need time and political power to flourish, good example is france

They start with great civs but next to no mils, they very simply need the time to make a combat worthy army

And no mod that doesnt overhaul the entire game can change that

[tropic cairn]

[torpid plume]

I would not be any good at it but the barebones idea is a country run by penguins...

[pale sparrow]

The focus is not inside the focus_tree block

[tropic cairn]

[paper valley]

im curious how do you do the economic alliance thing that kaiserreich does

[iron furnace]

Can someone please tell me what mod he is using in this video that redraws the states

and in general good mods that update the actual map (not map texture like FPS map) would be very appreicated

[crystal sand]

So you want a mod list that makes the map look similar to his?

[iron furnace]

yeah that would be cool

[crystal sand]

I have a feeling on a few he is using

Looks very similar to what I play with

Ill dm you here in a few

[edgy solar]

he said in a comment that he is using:

Stege Map Mod Fix and KSRE - Kovas' States Rework: Expanded

[crystal sand]

I was watching it to figure out if he was using a state mod lol

I couldnt 100% tell

[edgy solar]

i figured someone would ask about mods in the comments so i went there immediately lmao

[crystal sand]

lol

Thats always what I do after watching a video like this

That video was pretty much just what I do every game lol

Im not much of a rome type of guy

[crystal sand]

Hol up whats KSRE

[edgy solar]

state mod

[crystal sand]

Ok

im slow

[tropic wyvern]

is there a trigger that checks if the country is controlled by a player?

like a focus only being avaliable for players, not ai

[crystal sand]

Not that I know of

[glass acorn]

Yes

Just do something like
"Is_ai = no"

Like this

Not the trigger part tho

[paper valley]

is there any way i can start an event in a specific day? I need the event to fire on january 8th but apparently it cant fire until the 14th day. the city of santo domingo got renamed to ciudad trujilo on january 8th 1936

[lofty plaza]

You can set the event to fire after 8 days in the history file

[paper valley]

like this?
country_event = {
id = dominican.3
days = 8
}

oh yes it worked thanks

[lofty plaza]

No problem

[obtuse condor]

hi

[next needle]

In which language is this

[pale sparrow]

Proprietary

All the files are written like data files that are being read by hidden code

[past relic]

Good afternoon, I just added 2 leaders to the country files, a couple of flags and portraits, and mod started to crash, I can't find anything in the error log, what could be the problem?

[flint sail]

You have some coastal provinces without a port

And prob others thing i haven't fully checked

And some ports in order states

Other than that nothing

[past relic]

problem was with flag...

when I remove 1 medium and small flag - mod revive

[flint sail]

How does a flag even crash the game 😭

[past relic]

I dont know 😳, but when remove - problem solved

[pulsar hearth]

is there a mod for a global power ranking system? Like the stronger you are the higher you are on the list

[past relic]

try to change tag for this flag and country, but its still crash

[summer fractal]

what else did I expect from millenium dawn

[analog wyvern]

why are there letters for old church slavonic in the font files

[analog wyvern]

ah wait i get it

[covert mirage]

does anyone know how i can make the text fit in here? yk make it go to the empty part of the square where there isn't the image?

[misty totem]

anyone got some good mods? (ww2-modern no ww1, preferably historical doesnt have to be, preferably like a vanilla+)

[lofty plaza]

Don't make the image so huge

You'd probably need to adjust the gui or whatever you're using

[covert mirage]

yea but where exatcly for the text

[covert mirage]

i mean the image then looks abnormally small compared to the text

[nimble solar]

Red Dusk is modern, but the Soviet Union didn't fully collapse

Millennium Dawn but actually fun imo

[shy yarrow]

where are the files for the german division voicelines?

[tropic cairn]

🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

[lofty plaza]

Integrated DLC folder

Pretty sure

[glass acorn]

Hearts of Iron IV\integrated_dlc\dlc018_together_for_victory\sound\ger is the path

[uneven talon]

yo whats a good mod

to make vanilla run smoother

on a slow laptop

[covert mirage]

wait where are the DLC loading screens located exatcly in?

and how do i replace them

with my own custom screens

[lofty plaza]

Also there

If you want to replace them just make your own loading screen folder then name it the same thing

Should work

[covert mirage]

ah alright also

may i ask

where are clauswitzs engine, paradox and other logos located in?

[polar narwhal]

anyone know whats up?

[nova heron]

Looking for some advice, for people who do custom map modding with like fictional maps and such, how do you guy's place terrain and such? I'm trying to work on terrain placement rn, and I'm super stuck on how to go through with it.

[mossy linden]

Oh

[paper valley]

how do I make a focus icon with the flag like the vanilla game does It

[thin chasm]

Doing some more map modding, and I sometimes run into this dilemma where I try to split an overly-big province into smaller tiles

But if it's an urban province originally, I can't seem to get only the province defined as "urban" to show the city textures (in this screenshot, only the upper province here should be urban)

Can anyone offer any insight?

[nova heron]

I think you have to directly edit the Terrain map, right? Specifically, the RGB color (240, 255, 0) (a shade of yellow). If you haven't done that, I think that's what it is. Otherwise, I don't know.

[thin chasm]

Is that right? Have I just been misunderstanding how this is meant to work?

Let's have a lookie-loo...

Oh well there you go

Alright, I see what's happening now, cheers for that lad

[nova heron]

Yup!

[wise phoenix]

hi does anyone know what to open a pdn file with

[woven scaffold]

[rare grove]

im making a focus

[covert mirage]

Guys where in hoi4 files are paradox, Clausewitz engine and hearts of iron logo located in

[robust cloud]

New to modding Descriptor Labeled as a media flie

NVM

[ember current]

But how do I like put in the files?

Also what should I use to make it like put them together

[covert mirage]

ohh

okay so

first things first

make sure ur potrait is the right hoi4 size (u can search it up) and make sure its in dds format

next, put it inside of gfx/leaders/SOV (for example, SOV is the tag of a nation Soviet Union if u are making a soviet leader)

after that you need to go to interface folder (not in gfx one)

then u need to find this folder

in here u copy paste one of the following lines of code

In the second image i sent thats how ur code is supposed to look like, name can be whatever u want just make sure it has "GFX_potrait_TAG" then define wether its small (in which case u add _small at the end, if its large which is for country leader potraits dont put anything at the end), now u can use this potrait on any characthers u want

[rare grove]

this good focus design?

[delicate cargo]

yo

i got a mod and for some reason it isnt on dowser

[covert mirage]

Well

seems very decent just add like

some more either space

between the focuses that are mutually exclusive

[rare grove]

whats the ai code that makes countries not put their divisions in a specific region?

[ember current]

Also anothee question how do i know it is ina dds format?

But thanks 🙏

i made like my own

[covert mirage]

well

when u are saving

the file

instead of png choose DirectDrawSurface

aka DDS file

[ember current]

but like what application is preferred for this?

[covert mirage]

paint.net and photoshop

[ember current]

@covert mirage also I did this in my own mod thingy like i copied it should i put it there later or?

[covert mirage]

put it

[lime meteor]

Hey, Im playing as nuclear Ghandhi in beta and I want to fix the related achievment

Is it enough to remove this one line to make it possible to get with GoE?

Its "our words are backed"

[acoustic wraith]

yes

[lethal pawn]

anyone know what causes this error

it crashes the game

[pale sparrow]

I think its unlikely that that actually crashed the game

[lethal pawn]

do you wanna see the entire error log?

this is it

the green line marks where the errors cause on start up end

[pale sparrow]

try fix to GUI thing

Just fix all those errors before even thinking about which one causes the crash tbf

[paper valley]

i was trying to create a new general, my leader dissapears. I add my leader with his portrait, It gives me this generic guy but my leader's name Is still there.

my general doesn't appear either

https://pastebin.com/ca9eFgXL

[lethal pawn]

that is the only error that happens after pressing play

I can fix the other errors but it isnt gonna make a difference

[nova heron]

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not remembering everything the best right now, but don't you have to do the "create character" blocks in the History file?

Separate from the code you have right now, you have to have both iirc

[paper valley]

is it recruit_character = DOM_hector_trujillo?

[nova heron]

So in the History file for your country (where OOBs, starting tech, etc. is assigned) you have to do the following for it:

    name = ""
    desc = ""
    picture = ""
    expire = ""
    ideology =
    traits = {
    }
}```

[covert mirage]

guys someone help pls, it says in my code when i try to activate advisors that it cant find the one with the idea_token = "SLR_ferdinand_catlos_catt" in SLR even tho there is 😭

[pale sparrow]

Did you recruit the guy in the history files

[covert mirage]

yes

[timid orchid]

Can anyone help with border wars?

how do make sure both sides units get into the border war

[lofty plaza]

Unless you make new units as it starts you can't

[timid orchid]

ah

so even units on the border dont instantly join the war

ig?

[paper valley]

i think thats how it was before no step back

maybe

and doesn't work

[nova heron]

I might be remembering the wrong thing, like I said, I think it's in the official tutorial though I might be remembering something completely different right now.
Just watch the official tutorial though, it provides all the stuff on this

[spring pivot]

Is this how i would transfer a state?

Alright thanks for the info

[limpid radish]

hello can someone explain how do people mod in more than 25 building slots? i've been trying for a week and i can't do it

[lofty plaza]

Context??

[proven sage]

Tbh easiest way is Just to look in different mods, I think there are mods that adjust Just that, I Just know that you need defines, And something, Bc defines it self changing will crash the game

[limpid radish]

i've checked with a lot of mods and all of them crash the game help please

[azure summit]

got a question, where do i find modifiers for navy? I want to stop death stacking by making the positioning worse

Hello

How to make a special project (modding)

[azure summit]

everytime i try to add provinces and make gibraltar into 2 states its not working, even tho i put it into the region file and state file, can somebody help me?

[covert mirage]

Help, how do i define ideology of country leaders in this effect:
add_country_leader_role = {
character = GER_character_token
promote_leader = yes
country_leader = {
ideology = fascism_type
expire = "1965.1.1.1"
traits = { war_industrialist }
}
}

i for example put stalinism but it doesn't work

and it says that the ideology isn't defined

[marsh stirrup]

how can i change name of country by clicking decision?

like if I change ideology

[quartz pendant]

Do you guys know any mods that allow me to design a Super Heavy Howitzer?

like, a designer of it where i can customize it by adding parts n stuff

similar to the artillery designer mod

[outer slate]

Hey uhh i downloaded Old world blues but i dont think its working right. Its lagging and the names are either those wierd data names or normal hoi4 names. The brotherhood is called bosnia

Did i do something wrong?

[vague relic]

I mean duh

recommendation would be to burn your PC and try again but since you cannot do that try to delete the mod file and install it again

[vague relic]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Special_project

[vague relic]

You can try to change the cosmetic tag of the country

depends on if you want to change more things or only the name

You can also use set_country_name =

[marsh stirrup]

imagine like changing ideology

[vague relic]

Okay so you want the player to do it manually?

as in you go into decisions and you click it to change the countries name

[marsh stirrup]

yes, like a decision wich changes "the regime" but stays the same ideology

[vague relic]

Okay, do you just want to change the name or anything else?

[marsh stirrup]

yes, im trying to watch some videos but it's really difficult

[marsh stirrup]

the leader and the flag

[vague relic]

Okay, do you know what a cosmetic tag is?

[marsh stirrup]

its the usa one

[vague relic]

Okay but do you know what a cosmetic tag is?

[marsh stirrup]

arent those the tags that call something' like country tag or leader one?

[vague relic]

every country has a tag

tags are used in code to call in the name of the country and to reference it

if you change a countries tag then the country is usually deleted

[marsh stirrup]

i need the usa one, i can go in debug to get it

[vague relic]

tag for usa is literally USA

but yes you can

I recommend you have it on

[marsh stirrup]

oh

[vague relic]

now, you also are gonna need to make a new tag

[marsh stirrup]

but do i need to code the decision first or the cosmetic part

[vague relic]

doesnt matter

you need both

and some more things too

[marsh stirrup]

like in spanish cw

[vague relic]

Yes but no

you are gonna make a cosmetic tag

basically what the decision is gonna do is that its gonna switch your countries tag to the new one, but only the cosmetic part

[marsh stirrup]

k

[vague relic]

if you used a normal tag and switched to it then you would just switch countries

[marsh stirrup]

ok, got it

[velvet sierra]

Guys, how can I create new focuses for the BBA Italy 's focus tree?

[vague relic]

do you know basic modding?

[velvet sierra]

Well, no

[vague relic]

recommend you look into iron workshop videos about modding

[marsh stirrup]

do you reccomend any video abt this special part? the other ones dont talk abt this

[vague relic]

it looks like a lot but you only need the first couple videos and its really easy

[velvet sierra]

Thanks

[marsh stirrup]

i was seeing those

[vague relic]

well actually there is not much difference between both tags, there is no video that really mentions them in detail

but they arent complex

[marsh stirrup]

ok i'll try

will let you know if I succedd

[marsh stirrup]

what would you like to create

[vague relic]

if you need help you can also ask chatgpt

it isnt perfect but it can help you faster

[marsh stirrup]

ok, thanks a lot

so I just need to create the cosmetic tags and "recall" them in the decision

[vague relic]

basically yes, but you told me you wanted to change flags and leaders

that will require adding the flags and leaders

[marsh stirrup]

ik that

[velvet sierra]

i wanted to add the rosselli brother's death focus and other events that occurred in italian history but aren't in the focus tree

[marsh stirrup]

in vfx folder

[vague relic]

• localization

[marsh stirrup]

never heard of them (from italy)

[marsh stirrup]

ok

[velvet sierra]

they were communist journalists (di che regione sei?)

[vague relic]

then I really recommend you try to learn about modding as much as possible, because you might f up the focus tree several times

[marsh stirrup]

we cant speak italian here it's on the rules

[velvet sierra]

oh i forgot

[marsh stirrup]

something like matteoti's case

should add that too

[velvet sierra]

yeah but they were in paris

[marsh stirrup]

so like trotsky in mexico

[velvet sierra]

well, that happened in 1925

the game starts in 1936

[marsh stirrup]

ik

but it would be cool to recall the event

[marsh stirrup]

you should do like in the ussr path were you get to kill trotsky using spy agency

[velvet sierra]

exactly

[velvet sierra]

i should modify italy's focus tree of the Great War Mod

[velvet sierra]

1925*

[marsh stirrup]

but then you should start a megacampain

or change the start date

[velvet sierra]

yeah, I should add more focuses after the "March on Rome" focus

[marsh stirrup]

but then you should expand other countries as well

[velvet sierra]

that's the problem

I'll start with just working on the DLC focus and then maybe do other mods

[marsh stirrup]

cool keep me updated

[velvet sierra]

sure

[outer slate]

My main problem is the names. Non of the text is being loaded properly

[vague relic]

Yes burn your PC

[outer slate]

Normal game works just fine for me

[vague relic]

best advice I can give

[outer slate]

Why?

[vague relic]

experience

now you can also try to delete your history file

but I forgot how to do it

let me ask AI

[outer slate]

What are you talking about?

[vague relic]

HOI4 will make temporal files at times that will fuck up any mod you play

does this only happen with this mod?

follow this and delete this

[outer slate]

Idk its the first time i downloaded a mod for hoi4

I deleted the mod again and began to play normaly

[vague relic]

Yeah install it again if you want and try

HOI4 will f up mod instalations a lot

[marsh stirrup]

I'm doing a more simple mod before

I've changed idea

[vague relic]

tell me

[marsh stirrup]

I want to follow the iron workshop videos so I'll create a new country

I was thinking abt indipendent trieste

it was an historical thing

[covert mirage]

Guys help i made my characther to be a country leader and whatnot, but for some reason the potrait isn't working, even tho the paths are correct please help

[wild leaf]

There are no tutorials tho

Any idea how to make them?

Or should I dive into examples

[glass acorn]

How do I rename the infantry tech without it utterly breaking and disappearing? (IE: Rename infantry_weapons to 60s_infantry_weapons)

Cause everytime I rename it-it just disappears

[wild leaf]

Set localisation

[crystal sand]

Your having the same issue I had, I cant quite remember how to fix it. Just make sure A your portrait is in the right location and B make sure its the right format

[glass acorn]

Localisation wouldn't matter, that's just cosmetic

Since I already have other techs with no local

[wild leaf]

Irdk

[lofty plaza]

I just wouldn't tbh

That's a huge amount of work. You'd need to replace every instance of that tech (could be done with visual code) and make sure nothing is broken

If you wanna change the name then just change the localisation

[glass acorn]

Mmkay

Thanks

[lofty plaza]

No problem

[marsh stirrup]

trying rn if mod worked

what happened

can someone explain?

[glass acorn]

Do you know what the loc file for the tech is?

Can't seem to find it

[marsh stirrup]

i think its localisation

I didnt put english folder

[glass acorn]

Well ik that

But the actual file name

like how national ideas are ideas_l_english

[marsh stirrup]

i was talking abt my screenshot

[glass acorn]

Why are your country colors like that

[marsh stirrup]

im also asking

[glass acorn]

Localisation doesn't change country colors

[marsh stirrup]

what does?

and the country I created is just empty land

[glass acorn]

Common > countries > colors

[marsh stirrup]

if you zoom in italy you can see trieste's empty

[marsh stirrup]

i think i've messed that

[glass acorn]

What I assume happened is

You forgot to assign colors and such to your country

Thus the game broke because there was a country tag without a color

So it just randomly assigned colors to every nation

[marsh stirrup]

i copied the file

and just added my country

[glass acorn]

Show

[marsh stirrup]

how

[glass acorn]

There should be two files in the countries folder

The colors one handles the actual map color

They use RGB code

So Red, Green, Blue

[marsh stirrup]

ik

i copied from original file and added my country

[glass acorn]

The 2nd one is the national color

National color is what color your country is associated with

Such as divisions as seen above

[marsh stirrup]

ik

i found the error maybe

[glass acorn]

If you know then your mod wouldn't be broken

I'm just saying

[marsh stirrup]

I've messed my country tag

maybe that broke everything

[glass acorn]

Did you assign one?

And does it have a history folder too

[marsh stirrup]

yes

that's the mod folder

[vague grail]

How do I add the USSR tank models to Peru? I only have the generic ones.

[marsh stirrup]

it works

[covert mirage]

both of those are right, i genuinely do not know what isn't working for the potraits

[marsh stirrup]

did you solve your issue

[marsh stirrup]

how do export right modded flag on gimp

[vague grail]

How did you paint the tank?

[glass acorn]

Lord that message was ages ago

[glass acorn]

I assume you'd have to manually edit the 3D model

The reason mine looked like that is because of the ingame lighting

Which has a blue-ish hue

[vague grail]

Nice color!.
And about this? I was thinking of looking for a mod that lets me paint the tanks, but since there isn’t one, I’m looking for one to add USSR tank models to Peru—or how to do it manually.

[glass acorn]

I'm not experienced with 3d models and gfx so idk 🤷‍♂️

[marsh stirrup]

focuses?

im trying rn

[glass acorn]

Focuses I'm decent at

Im new and im not paying for dlc cause im poor

Please I really need help with this

[marsh stirrup]

why the second focus isnt showing

[final tusk]

hey everyone ! in definition.csv. continent 0 are oceans ?

or not ?

[vague relic]

No experience and no real tutorials out yet sorry to say

[glass acorn]

I looked at the code and it seems similar to tech tree modding

So maybe just a quick read over it and such could help them

[crystal sand]

Does anyone have any smart insite on what I can do to fix this issue

[glass acorn]

Uhhh

Only advice I can give is prob

1. Check the location given (Folder > Folder > Etc)
2. Check for proper capitalization (Sometimes certain things are very cap-sensitive)
3. Check the format of the image or size, it may be improperly made or incompatible

[crystal sand]

Its weird that is the portrait I struggle the most with. Its the only thing I have real experiance with in hoi4 modding

[glass acorn]

GFX is always a pain for me

Tech used to be hard but now it's pretty easy

[crystal sand]

Gfx has always been really easy for me

It was the fastest thing for me to pick up

Thats why all of my current mod submissions are gfx related

[glass acorn]

To each their own ig

[crystal sand]

Finnaly

Got it working

After almost 2 hours of frustration, finnaly got the portrait working

Day 1 of asking someone to make an Noobs vs Zombies mod.

[azure summit]

so i basically added some provinces, i dont know whats wrong with it tho

has no continent even tho i added one, something which was also weird was that in my definitions the state was 13376 and it would crash everytime i loaded into the game saying it had no state and region, the error showed me it was province 13377 which i never added tho. So i put in the state and region of province 13377 and it didnt crash just showed me these errors, which is completely weird tho that something thats not in my definitions is a state, which i never added

[oak hedge]

dayum nothin?

Are you recommending piracy?

Dont pirate just use R56

Dont

R56 ^^

[crystal sand]

If you dont have dlc and cant get dlc, just either play EaW or R56, they have the most content and are 2 of the most no dlc friendly mods

[pale sparrow]

I personally prefer OWB over EaW but yeh all are nice

[crystal sand]

Im not ngl I keep forgeting about OWB

Havent played that in ages

I should play it again
