Been on a bit of a pokemon kick lately, how fun would it be to replace the countries in hoi4 with official/unofficial pokemon counterparts?
UK = Galarian Kingdom
France = Kalos
USA = Unovan States
Hawaii = Unovan territory of Aloha
Japan = Imperial Kanto (With Hoenn, Sinnoh, Johto, other japanese based regions as subjects in a shogunate sense)
Iberia = Paldea (With Paldean civil war)

[crystal sand]

It would be funny

[lapis flame]

It would, wouldn't it

Especially if you add pokemon specific technology and whatnot

[covert mirage]

Tried this, yeah still not working

[glass acorn]

Are they allowed to be png's?

Because the official portraits in HOI4 are DDS files

[covert mirage]

i tried with dds too

and its currently like that

still nothing changed

[crystal sand]

Thats the other thing I kept messing up lol, I kept trying to use pngs

[glass acorn]

Why does my OOB only spawn 100 when it should be 414? It worked once and then just stopped

Or do you need one for each?

I assume that's prob it

Figured it out nvm

[woven fossil]

Broooooooooooooooo

I wish I was actually good at making GFX art cuz I am not good at it, not to mention I can not make a picture in my mind. Making it hellish making GFX art such as icons for focuses and national icons

I do not know what to do

[pale sparrow]

Just use generic GFX

[lethal pawn]

Does anyone know of a way to disable AI in code

I wanna give Germany a decision that goes through all the countries and turns off AI for whichever conuntry isnt controlled by a player

[glass acorn]

Why not just use the AI command-

[lethal pawn]

you cant open the console in mp

[high hatch]

Hi.
I want to know in which files canal and landmarks buildings positions are define. I made a custom map... And I see they have a canal_panama building in the province 7617...

Solve: They do that in on_actions, in more of buildings.

[glass acorn]

Never specified MP in your little request 🤷‍♂️

[lethal pawn]

I dont need to specify mp, I asked if there was a way to turn off AI through a decision, that can be done in mp or sp.

[pale sparrow]

Not possible

[woven fossil]

No

[bitter locust]

Doesn't anyone know why replace_path="history/units" isn't working?(others replace work perfectly). When i remove a file, hoi4 takes units from vanilla, and when i delete the file content, i dont have division in a game.

[kindred axle]

Ig its because at that point you have to fill them because you deleted them?

[bitter locust]

the files are filled

[crystal sand]

What is generic GFX? I just end up taking and editing existing portraits in game.

[pale sparrow]

this page is mainly great for focus/idea/event icons

[crystal sand]

Oh thats cool

[jaunty bobcat]

I'm having problems with two mods but i have no clue why.

TNO: 2nd west russian war (normal mod)

and

TNO: lock stock and 2 smoking barrels.

For some reason them both just being downloaded. NOT BOTH ACTIVE! just downloaded breaks my game. I have to fully uninstall one of the two mods to make the game work again.

[rare grove]

FRA={
limit={
and={
is_core_of=BEL
is_controlled_by=FRA
}
}
}

how to fix this erro?

[pale sparrow]

wdym

[rare grove]

making an event that triggers when a belgian core state is controlled by france

[pale sparrow]

Firstly, indent properly

Secondly limit has to either follow an if or an any_/all_ scope

Thirdly is_core_of is a state check, and you're scoping into a country

[rare grove]

BEL={
limit={
any_core_state={
is_controlled_by=FRA
}
}
}

this should fix it right?

[pale sparrow]

Because this block is a condition, you dont need the limit

[rare grove]

thanks

[rare grove]

will this event only trigger if the player is playing as algeria?

[nova heron]

Drawing the terrain.bmp map for my overhaul mod, I've got the coastline on this continent so far mostly finished, not much of the islands are done yet, and I've added a bit of terrain as well.
Any feedback? Also, I'm stuck on adding terrain, in terms of how/where it should be added, what the general terrain shapes should look like, etc (I have the hoi4 terrain.bmp pulled up in front of me, it doesn't help a whole ton though)

[outer slate]

Hey am i doing this right?

I downloaded a mod from steam, put it in a playset in the paradox launcher and started the game

[crystal sand]

Did you activate the playset?

[outer slate]

Well yea

[final tusk]

Does anyone know why I can't put the list of political parties in my custom menu on the right?

I tried to modify the GUI. but it no longer displays if I put it in

[thin chasm]

That's it, I'm sending you to the upside down dimension

Let me tell you, the game did not like it when I did that

[glass acorn]

I love how the water reflections still show the original continents

It's taunting you with what you lost

[thin chasm]

North/South America view as well, for consistency

[glass acorn]

Are the provinces the same?

Or did you have to manually tweak some for it to work

[thin chasm]

Oh, you can just rotate the image files, as long as you don't break them

Fixing the thing to ensure it's playable would be the stickler, but I was just testing what it would look like

[glass acorn]

The AI's gonna have a stroke

[thin chasm]

I almost did just staring at Europe

The vibes here are wrong

[thin chasm]

Aaaand it crashed

Alright, that was a fun experiment

[glass acorn]

What do the errors say

Look for any that have
MAP_ERROR

Those are usually the big ones

[thin chasm]

My friend

EVERY individual province had an error

[glass acorn]

Ah

[thin chasm]

I wasn't making it out of that alive

[glass acorn]

I assume it was positions then

You adjusted every province's location, but not their unit positions

[thin chasm]

Mostly because I didn't intend to fix it to make it playable

[glass acorn]

So troops, VP's, etc, are in the water and such

You can prob just use the nudger to fix it all in one go anyways

[thin chasm]

Correct, but now I have the map back the right way around

Good fun, that

[glass acorn]

Wait you did it on the BASE GAME?

[thin chasm]

Well, on my own submod, but technically yes

[glass acorn]

I'm never finishing Infra 😭

[lofty plaza]

Me eyes cuh

[flint sail]

what am i seeing

[gaunt nebula]

Is there a way to change a province's terrain type?

I'm currently making a custom scenario, and would like that province to look more like a capital. Is there some sort of command to make that tile urban?

[proven sage]

yeah, but not in game, but codes

[gaunt nebula]

Might be a bit of my zone then.

When I install Visual Studio Code, what should I install? C++?

[warm cape]

for modding? you can mod with a text editor

you don't need anything on vscode

oh really?

so I don't need to install plugins ect.?

[warm cape]

nope

hoi4 mod is just plain text

yea

plug ins make it easier

if you wanna groan for 2 hours making one focus or trying to search a focus go ahead

if not Install Hoi4 Mod Utilities on Visual Studio Code

makes your life way easier

[warm cape]

think it has to do with country factor

or the default option

[azure summit]

nah it generally has like a country tag

but i cant find it

[warm cape]

no

how it works is that there's a line that sets the country factor

like if you are dutch you get 10 score in the mtth block

the score is checked before game start

then whichever tree with highest score is assigned

default tree always have 1 point so it's assigned to mongolia(since it doesn't have any other point for other trees)

Just Cause mod updated and made as a submod for millennium dawn

[zenith rune]

Do you think anyone would play this mod if it was made?

The idea of the mod is to colonize a new fictional continent untouched by human hands for your nation/faction. You may be thinking "How in the world does that work in hoi4? This isn't eu4!"? Let me tell you (with with visual below as aid).

The Setup:

Land mass shapes and sizes are not reflective of the final product and are only for demonstration purposes
There will be 5 nations at the start 4 player nations (or as many/few as you would want) plus the nation of "Unclaimed Land". The players will start with one province next to another province that is a VP of "Unclaimed Land". Once all players take their vp, "Unclaimed Land" will capitulate causing a peace conference. From here, players will divvy up the "unclaimed land". After the peace conference, all the land they claimed will become cored to them. Btw since this land is "untouched by human hands" there is no (recruitible) manpower in this land until you develop it.

What would make this mod pretty cool:

Through your focuses and decisions, you need to maintain homeland support for colonization, develop the land to exploit the natural riches (your home country will only invest so much), defend against foreign military threats, and push everyone out of your land. You win the game if your faction/nation is the only side left on the continent. Anything I'm missing? Would you play this mod with friends if it was completed to a high degree of quality?

It's an idea that seems interesting to me, but I don't really want to spend a boatload of hours developing it if no one will want to play it, especially since the idea is so out there gameplay wise in terms of ideas.

[glass acorn]

Epic

I should make a JC3 map but it's actually the entire game world as it

Only issue would be making the proper province borders and heightmap/terrain

[glass acorn]

Sounds like something I'd play

You can also add systems like Dynamic vp's (Victory points based on state development) and naming states

The EOE mod does that where the more factories, airbases, etc a state has, the higher the main VP in it is worth

And there's already a mod to manually rename states ingame that you own

[spring pivot]

Anyone has made a submod with decisions for Kaiserreich? I cant seem to make my one work. If there is anyone who can help me with file structure so the decision show in game

[zenith rune]

That's definitely interesting. That would help with supply issues as all requested non-state supply needs to come from the capital (AKA tons of convoys).

[turbid ginkgo]

You have the state borders as the JC3 provinces - I made JC3 provinces HOI4 provinces and most are also states

As for small hoi4 provinces just make VPs where they are in JC3 and make random provinces around them, there are no rivers in Medici

[zenith rune]

Just took a look at that mod. That actually looks pretty easy to implement (just time consuming as you need to implement the checks for each state individually).

[glass acorn]

Yeah

[analog coral]

What could I have possibly done to make the game not have Achievement, I just made a new portrait and pasted it in there.... I have seen people done this before with portraits like with Stalin but, do they replace it so it doesn't disable achievements or what could I have done wrong gang?

Idk if u asking about coding non related thing for hoi4 modding but hoi4 modding is not about coding rather changing game files

[reef maple]

oh i see

[zealous kernel]

I'm just learning how to mod, so can anyone tell me what "removal_cost" and "cost" do when making a national spirit?

[sacred canyon]

any start date mods

[fervent glacier]

is the nuke it into submission mod up to date currently?

[glass lava]

Trying to make a submod to a mod that changes country names but for some reason I can’t overwrite the specific country I want to change in that mod

(Total modding noob, literally first time)

[glass lava]

I got it to work but only for a country at the start, released countries that I tried renaming weren't changed, then I experimented more and now I am back to square one because I can't get even that to work anymore lol, I am gonna probably give up for now

[shadow dew]

I NEED THIS ACHIEVEMENT WHAT DO I DO??

wrong channel oops

[covert mirage]

why is this happening? keep in mind the shine of the focus icons works alright when i hover over it in the focus tree btw

[hard lynx]

I have a focus tree icon compressed to DXT5 and in the correct ratio. What do I need to do now to actually be able to use it as an icon in a focus tree?

[glass acorn]

You need to define it via a GFX file in the Interface

The thing I'm not too familiar with is Focus shines

But for general icons it's something like this

The name, which you use in the focus's picture/icon code

The texturefile, which you put the path/file of the image you want to use for

For goal shines you'll have to ask someone else tho, I'm not familiar with those :(

[hard lynx]

This is what I've done for the sprite texture and its not working. Is there anything obvious that I'm missing?

Here's also the shine file too in case that matters (it was pulled from this reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4modding/comments/vavucy/how_to_add_custom_focus_tree_icons/)

[frigid halo]

Guys I downgraded my version of the game to another version to see if I could rescue a save of mine but I couldn't how do I make my game be the current most updated version? Now I used the betas tab to downgrade it I don't see an option to make the current version default again.

[mortal pilot]

am i looking at commie germany

[gloomy crescent]

its social dem

[mortal pilot]

sounds... commie

i'm working on something and trying to not make it too broken

but it should be

[mortal pilot]

what is the time line?

i'm curios

[gloomy crescent]

great war is a stalemate and great depression is worse

[mortal pilot]

lmao 😭

so what are the war plans

[gloomy crescent]

?

[mortal pilot]

like germany gonna get any different war goals?

[gloomy crescent]

depends on what path they go down

if they stay socdem they prob wont go to war

but if they go something else they'll prob go to war with russia or france

[mortal pilot]

hmmm

france is commie?

no commies 😭

[mortal pilot]

oh the P-L commonwealth

[gloomy crescent]

france is

technocractic

[mortal pilot]

Non-Aligned probably

[gloomy crescent]

im making custom ideologies

[mortal pilot]

oh cool

i should probaby try doing so too

[mortal pilot]

and that's the soviet union right?

[gloomy crescent]

yeah but they r vperedist and led by Alexander Bogdanov

[mortal pilot]

oh

well the mod looks like it's gonna be fun

[gloomy crescent]

i have 2 ppl that r gonna be helping me with writing 🔥

[mortal pilot]

how long have you been modding for?

i kinda just started

[gloomy crescent]

i also just kinda started

[mortal pilot]

oh

[gloomy crescent]

like a few weeks ago

but its not rly that hard since i alr understand all the concepts

[mortal pilot]

same

you did coding before this?

[gloomy crescent]

yeah a bit

in my freetime

[mortal pilot]

python?

[gloomy crescent]

lua and java

[mortal pilot]

oh

never tried em

[gloomy crescent]

lua is rly easy

[mortal pilot]

i did JS for a while

[mortal pilot]

python is just perfection

[mortal pilot]

btw what do you think about this?

i'm trying to make him insanely good

but not too insane

[gloomy crescent]

yeah those r pretty good buffs

[mortal pilot]

it looks like he has too much going on which he does. but it's kinda because there are 3 different pp buffs

i was kinda hoping to give some of th traits to future leaders

so i didn't put all the pp gain in 1 trait

[mortal pilot]

that last trait would be super confusing for anyone who doesn't know jewish-persian history

😭

[gloomy crescent]

i know in my mod i want a usa and canadian civil war to happen

[mortal pilot]

as the historical path?

so like they go from democratic to what

[floral oracle]

finally

[gloomy crescent]

prob

[gloomy crescent]

whatever wins

C-C-COLLAPSING WORLD REFERENCE?

[reef maple]

try collapsing world, you'll thank me later

[covert mirage]

Could someone help me

[proven sage]

The thing is, that not many modders are that deep within doing this stuff, it is interface gfx something. But I recommend to look on YouTube from Iron Workshop youtuber, And he has National focus modding video, on the later part he explains this also

[signal tangle]

how do you change the things at the bottom

[robust cloud]

Anyone wanna teach me how to mod ?

[pale sparrow]

Thats very broad

Also theres good guides

[robust cloud]

Oh Okay You know any good guides

[pale sparrow]

PDX official has some

for specifics theres the wiki

[robust cloud]

Oh Cool

Thanks : D

[covert mirage]

alr thx

[sour grail]

Quick! is there a mod that works like the debug nuking command

[swift field]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_organization#Army

ill add ALL of these units and templates to my Hoi4 multi mod

[red mason]

nato

[swift field]

alr

im adding Em ALL in becus then theres more use of MP

[nimble solar]

This is done via NATO symbols

[swift field]

yes ik

[nimble solar]

That X is literally just an infantry battalion

Many of those companies are support companies

Like pioneers

[swift field]

alr

im still gonna add em ALL In

so theres MORE use for MP

[nimble solar]

Aaaand the meta divisions are still best

[swift field]

whatever

its my mod

[nimble solar]

I'm still trying to understand the point

It's already all in the game basically

People can build divisions like that if they want

[swift field]

yes ik

but

im adding em ALL in becus i want to do RP Stuff in SP

[nimble solar]

What's all

[swift field]

the military organiziation units

[nimble solar]

Pretty much every type of battalion is already in the game?

Maybe aside from an HQ

[swift field]

whatever

[nimble solar]

Which many mods already add

[swift field]

idc

[nimble solar]

You do you

[swift field]

im still adding em in

why you gotta ask and judge me

[swift field]

i will Dw

[nimble solar]

I'm just seeing if I could save you time and energy

[swift field]

bruh

idc

im still adding em ALL in

so i can overrun my enemies with SHEER MP

and superior tech and equipment

[nimble solar]

Cool GUI

[swift field]

im also gonna add is NEW sub units and sub templates

so theres enough content for people to use

[nimble solar]

Black Ice

[swift field]

bruh

stop

[nimble solar]

Alright

[swift field]

ik black ice adds that

AND ik that RON mods also adds in a LOT of new units aswell

[loud oasis]

what are the best performance and optimization mods?

[finite pumice]

Player-Led Peace Conferences i guess.
It can reduce Ai Stupid Decision making, it makes the game lag sometimes

[loud oasis]

aight, thanks.

[finite pumice]

Also Better Performance and AI Division Limiter

[finite pumice]

they are quite good

[loud oasis]

yuhr

how can i set up a puppet with a focus?

what's the code

[mortal pilot]

no one?

[finite pumice]

Focus?

[mortal pilot]

yeah

[finite pumice]

You mean how to get a puppet from a focus tree or smth?

[mortal pilot]

yes

[finite pumice]

1. The focus tree needs to have a focus to make puppets
2. You will need the country you are targetting accept your request to be your puppet

[mortal pilot]

what if i own the land

i'm trying to do something like germany

[finite pumice]

The it gets Bypassed

[mortal pilot]

with reichkommisariats

[mortal pilot]

.

[finite pumice]

you mean makes puppets from the land you are occupying?

[mortal pilot]

yes

[finite pumice]

You need to complete a focus therefore then go to Decisions

[mortal pilot]

where is the Decisions for germany making reichkommisariats in the game files?

i'll just figure it out myself

[finite pumice]

why don't you just do Focus.NoChecks -> Focus.AutoComplete then create it

[mortal pilot]

Dude what are you talking about

I'm remaking the thing with another country

There is none

[mortal pilot]

i feel you

[mortal pilot]

can someone tell me?

[delicate tangle]

Have you compared it to original dam code?

[mortal pilot]

yeah

i copied it from germany

[delicate tangle]

Than I can't help sorry

[delicate tangle]

Can you set the dam to be in a certain tile?

[mortal pilot]

yeah

i set it up on that tile on

oh you mean it doesn't work on coastal tiles?

shi

[delicate tangle]

No that's not what I meant. But it could be worth a try

Is there a video or something online that could help here?

[mortal pilot]

i wish there was one on everything but not on this one

it's probably in the history file

i'll need to go check the history for rhineland

[spring pivot]

why the game is saying that the event is invalid?

[mortal pilot]

i don't know shi about events 😭

i have no idea

i'm here making focuses and stuff but i still can't make an event

[mortal pilot]

isn't mean_time_to_happen buggy as hell?

i once made something with days = 1

it always took it 2 weeks to show up

[spring pivot]

sure it doesnt work very well, but i used in other events and they are all valid

[mortal pilot]

HEYYYY pal

you know why the dam isn't showing on my map?

do i need to add it in my history?

[paper valley]

do you have a namespace

[mortal pilot]

for it to like actually show up as a building

[paper valley]

history/states/[number and state].txt

i think

[paper valley]

pls

[spring pivot]

yes

[paper valley]

namespace is russiaRUSF?

also what is hidden = yes for

[paper valley]

i'd assume you have two namespaces. Btw make sure that the events folder Is not apart of any other folder (thats what happened to me)

[paper valley]

nvm i found it

[paper valley]

where do you find the main menu background in the files

[spring pivot]

So it doesnt show up ingame

i have the one namespace for normal events

and one for news events

nevermind

i changed its order on my event file

and its working

god i hate that if a event above it is broken the game breaks everything AFTER IT

Is there a way to fix that? like to tell the game to load events "separatedely"

[spring pivot]

why is the Czech one working and the others dont?

anyone got any mods that changes japans color and fixes the focus tree

except the main one

What is a satrapy?

[mortal pilot]

a state

is there a way to 100% remove peacedeals?

i want to make so theres only scripted peace deals

[rare grove]

Opening communications with Austria and Britain, Murat signed a treaty with the Austrians on 11 January 1814 in which, in return for renouncing his claims to Sicily and providing military support to the Allies in the war against his former Emperor, Austria would guarantee his continued possession of Naples

i didnt know about this

[frigid badger]

@rare grove paly ck3

[frigid badger]

because if you when this ck3 is a good fit for you

[rare grove]

no

[frigid badger]

k just trying to help

[rare grove]

ck3 is not about the napoleonic wars

[frigid badger]

yea but there is mods for it

[frigid badger]

or you can do Europa Universalis IV takes place from 1444 to 1821

[rare grove]

HOI4 has a bigger and better modding scene

[frigid badger]

yea i know but a am telling you that Europa Universalis IV takes place from 1444 to 1821 with no mods and you want a play in the
Napoleonic Wars and you can in Europa Universalis IV

[rare grove]

im modding not playing

ok that is not how you made it sound like

Does someone know dynamic modifiers?

For National ideas

[pale sparrow]

What about them

[kindred axle]

How to create them and apply them

There Is no real tutorial on wiki nor yt

[pale sparrow]

The examples are in common/dynamic_modifiers

[kindred axle]

Ye I saw them once, but It somehow didnt work

[pale sparrow]

the effects are only add_dynamic_modifier and remove_dynamic_modifier

[kindred axle]

I copied and pasted, i changed the names and putted the modifiers for the ideas and in the focus and It didnt work

[pale sparrow]

Dynamic modifiers notably cant effect equipment and tech, unlike ideas

[kindred axle]

Ye but i am Just asking for the ideas One, i didnt want to create One of those straight Lines for ideas or do swap_ideas

[pale sparrow]

eh?

[kindred axle]

For the focus tree, not ideas

Mb

Like

Without the Dynamic modifiers, the ideas to get Better have to follow a certain path

THE FOCUS

Fk

I mean the focuses

They have to have a certain path for the ideas to get swapped

So i wanted to use the Dynamic modifiers like in the new germnan army tree

Its confusing ngl xd (of what i said)

@pale sparrow do you have any video or wiki Page taht i can possibly get help from?

[spice knoll]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers#Dynamic_modifiers

still you gonna need trial and error

[kindred axle]

Last time i modded i tried to have them for over a month

[spice knoll]

I meant I only see like two guys tried to remake new german army tree elements

so there is limited doc for that lol

[full raft]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers#Dynamic_modifiers The wiki got it all. More indepth things would likely have to be Experimented, yes.

[remote mauve]

Hello, i've been trying to download some TNO sub mods, and i dont know why they Crash, can someone help me, please

[covert mirage]

guys pls help

[pale sparrow]

Include the files in your mod but empty them

[sharp knoll]

My technology does not have a folder but it's in the gui file, not sure why it's not appearing in game

I was going to post the code here but character limits

      name = "sub_technology_slot_1"
      position = { x=285 y=35 }
      size = { width = 35 height = 26 }
      clipping = no
      
      background = {
        name = "Background"
        spriteType ="GFX_subtechnology_unavailable_item_bg"
      }
      
      iconType = {
        name = "picture"
        position = { x=2 y=2 }
        spriteType = "GFX_subtech_carrier_plane_red"
        alwaystransparent = yes
      }
    }```

There you go

Mind you I'm adapting the code from someone else's mod who practically gave it up for anyone who wants to continue it and it worked fine in previous versions

[covert mirage]

those are which files exatcly?

just common/decision ones?

[pale sparrow]

Wait, to clarify, you mean country-specific decisions, or all vanilla decisions (including for example banning parties etc.)?

[covert mirage]

all vanilla decisions

i want to completely remove them from my country's decision

[pale sparrow]

Add your country to a negative allowed block for the decisions

I.E. Grab all the generic decision for and put
allowed = { NOT = { original_tag = YOURTAGHERE } }

[covert mirage]

ah alr thx

[covert mirage]

for some reason

encoding is glitched for me even tho its UTF-8 with BOM

[glass acorn]

Dynamic modifiers require more work to implement than ideas

Dynamic modifiers are essentially a series of custom variables, each with their respective effect/modifier

Dynamic Modifiers don't start with set values, you must set them manually, usually in a country's history file

In an actual focus tree, to modify a dynamic variable, you simply add or subtract from the variable you want to edit

BUT

These changes won't appear in the tooltip

Why? Because Dynamic modifiers do NOT have implemented tooltips

You must add them manually, as seen below

If you coded it properly, it should look like this, and then you're done :D

[kindred axle]

Thx a lot @glass acorn 🙏 Imma try It when i am free

[kindred axle]

This must go in the same file as the Dynamic modifiers ?

[glass acorn]

No, it goes in any localisation file

You can design the effect tooltip however you want, the way I coded it is just the base game's look

[kindred axle]

Thx 🙏 i basically forgot most of things xd

[glass acorn]

That's alr lmao

[delicate tangle]

Is chatgpt reliable to correct my code

[glass acorn]

🤷‍♂️

[covert mirage]

ehh

tried multiple times

8 out of 10 times it doesnt fix anything and potentially makes it worse

really don't recommend using it

[delicate tangle]

Alright thanks

Have any of you expirienced this errror:
[18:55:23][no_game_date][dlc.cpp:1924]: Incorrect MOD descriptor: "mod/Hearts_of_Iron_IV_1942_start_date.mod"

[lofty plaza]

Yes but it's impossible to say what it is from the error alone

Obviously something is wrong with the file

[vague pebble]

Old World Blues won't load and my only Hint is that it takes up Negative Space.

Anyone know why this is going on?

[crystal sand]

The negative space is just a graphical glitch from my understanding. It dosent really do much. Most of the big mods I have all show negative and work fine

[vague pebble]

so why is it not loading when I try to run the Main mod by itself? it loads regular Hoi4 when I try to load it with only OWB. It just crashes when loading everything else because I got mostly OWB Expansions in this Playlist.

[crystal sand]

Try without any OWB expansions

Some of them might conflict with each other

[vague pebble]

I just said when I try loading it without OWB Expansion, it just loads Vanilla Hoi4.

That's how I know the OWB Main is likely the problem

[nocturne seal]

are there mods that are practically just dlc's?

[crystal sand]

Go to the OWB discord and ask there

[nocturne seal]

stupid question

i assume not

allowe to discuss

[crystal sand]

Road to 56, EaW and OWB are the closest to dlc quality in terms of content

And all 3 very friendly to those without any

[nocturne seal]

ill keep this in mind ty

[nocturne seal]

what do those stand for btw

[crystal sand]

EaW is Equestria at war, OWB is old world blues

That first one might be a flash bang now that I think about it

[spring pivot]

Why is the division names not appearing in game?

[sharp knoll]

Do I still have to give it a path/folder?

[vague pebble]

can someone give me a Link to the OWB discord server, All the Links i found are dead.

[crystal sand]

the official one on the mod page still works

[vague pebble]

it doesn't work, i tried that first.

[crystal sand]

It worked for me

i just used it

[autumn coyote]

Does anybody have the: "state of the pacific" and "state of the med" from tfb as a standalone mod, since i would really like to use it in my mp server

[mortal pilot]

did they change the way autonomy commands work?

my code isn't working after the update

[delicate tangle]

Could I rename my mod anytime?

[glass acorn]

Prob in the descriptor file

Tho do note that there's two MOD/Descriptor files

Ones in the mods folder, and one in the actual mod itself

I assume it's this line tho

[delicate tangle]

Thanks. Could you maybe send me an image of your files layout with folders for the mod?

[mortal pilot]

?

i had made my own autonomy level and it just stopped working right after the update

[mortal pilot]

well time to make a new one

[mortal pilot]

is it possible to make 2 nations with cores control the same land at the same time?

[delicate tangle]

That doesn't make any sense

[mortal pilot]

i know 😭

[mortal pilot]

for some reason when i release countries as collab goverments with a focus they become RKs or IPs

[pale sparrow]

IPs?

[mortal pilot]

integrated puppet

[pale sparrow]

ah, I can tell you how to fix that

give me a sec

had the same issue with toolpack

[mortal pilot]

i should also say what i want is my core state

so i can't really fix it with giving extra compliance

[pale sparrow]

                        PREV = { set_variable = { collaboration_formed_by = PREV } }    #required to meet allowed statement of collab gov
                        set_autonomy = {
                            target = PREV
                            autonomy_state = autonomy_collaboration_government
                            end_wars = no
                            end_civil_wars = no
                        }
                    }```

Collabs need a variable to be set

otherwise they dont work

[mortal pilot]

so i just put this in the completion reward?

nice

[pale sparrow]

Not exactly like this because puppeteer is a toolpack variable

if you wanna puppet, lets say austria

set_autonomy = {
    target = AUS
    autonomy_state = autonomy_collaboration_government
    end_wars = no
    end_civil_wars = no
}```

that goes into your focus reward

[mortal pilot]

does it work if they're not annexed?

[delicate tangle]

[14:35:04][no_game_date][equipment_graphic_database.cpp:59]: Entity referenced in equipment graphic database does not exist: "GER_fighter_equipment_0_entity", associated with GER small_plane_airframe

It's the only error I get now.

Can I use paint.net for edit leader and flag

[lapis flume]

yes

i do that

also

i made my mod in 1.14.5, the latest hoi4 version is 1.16.5
how do i change it without it crashing the mod when u play
cause i tried putting 1.16.5 into descriptor and it crashed, and i am NOT making a new mod when i came this far

50 MB crash over a version gap

[mortal pilot]

IT WORKED HELL YEAH

thanks a lot

[lapis flume]

maybe the start date messes up with the research causing the germans not to have that small plane

to what year did u set it to

[delicate tangle]

1942

[lapis flume]

oh

idk then

mine is 1920 so it would make sense

[delicate tangle]

Thanks anyway

[lapis flume]

np

[wise cradle]

How about for make a custom map

[lapis flume]

uuuuh no i think i dont do that stuff

i use it for flags, leaders, any portraits, focuses, national spirits

maps is kinda difficult

[wise cradle]

Oh ok

[fair pike]

Look Into the error Log and Look for MAP_Error If you edited the map and add -crash_data_log in the Same way in Hoi4 Launcher Options as with debug. Then you can See in Crash files what File caused tha game to crash

[lapis flume]

u mean in like properties after the name i add -crash_data_log or?

[fair pike]

I can't really explain, watch the Video from Iron Workshop how to enter debug Mode and then enter this instead of debug

[lapis flume]

thats what i meant i already have that with debug, thank you 🔥

guys, why won't my characther potrait work and is always replaced with a vanilla asian generic potrait, yes, the path is correct i checked

[crystal sand]

DId you check to make sure it is a .dds

[covert mirage]

yes

it is

[crystal sand]

Remove the _large

None of my leader code has it, so maybe that may be the issue

[covert mirage]

wait let me try

[crystal sand]

let me know if it works

[covert mirage]

doesn't work

[crystal sand]

Can you provide full lines? Might be a bracket issue

[covert mirage]

for characther gfx file?

spriteTypes = {
SpriteType = {
name = "GFX_portrait_andrey_vlasov_large"
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/andrey_vlasov.dds"
}
SpriteType = {
name = "GFX_portraits_kitty_large"
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/portraits_SLR_kitty.dds"
}
SpriteType = {
name = GFX_portraits_SLR_pavel_milyukov
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/rus_pavel_milyukov.dds"
}
SpriteType = {
name = "GFX_portrait_andrey_vlasov_small"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/ideas/potrait_small_andrey_vlasov.dds"
}
spriteType = {
name = "GFX_portrait_SLR_nikolay_bukharin_large"
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/nikolay_bukharin.dds"
}
}

here

[crystal sand]

Its a spacing issue

[covert mirage]

wait can u just fix it rq and send it?

[crystal sand]

spriteTypes = {

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_portrait_andrey_vlasov_large"
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/andrey_vlasov.dds"
}

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_portraits_kitty_large"
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/portraits_SLR_kitty.dds"
}

spriteType = {
name = GFX_portraits_SLR_pavel_milyukov
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/rus_pavel_milyukov.dds"
}

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_portrait_andrey_vlasov_small"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/ideas/potrait_small_andrey_vlasov.dds"
}

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_portrait_SLR_nikolay_bukharin_large"
texturefile = "gfx/leaders/SLR/nikolay_bukharin.dds"
}
}
Mb had to fix it again use this instead

@crystal sand

Wait can you show me your leader code?

[covert mirage]

SLR_nikolay_bukharin = {
name = "Nikolay Bukharin"
potraits = {
civilian = {
large = GFX_portrait_SLR_nikolay_bukharin
}
}
}

[crystal sand]

Portraits is spelt wrong

SLR_nikolay_bukharin = {
name = "Nikolay Bukharin"
portraits = {
civilian = {
large = GFX_portrait_SLR_nikolay_bukharin
}
}
}

[crystal sand]

[quaint tinsel]

is there a mod to remove the idea that soldiers die when they retreat? basically removing that new thing they added

[marble quail]

Which mod is this?

[proven sage]

I suppose I could try to help you in vc, since I need to see the whole thing, not Just this.

[delicate tangle]

That's the great war (redux?) I love that mod.

[mystic tinsel]

The Great War Redux

[autumn coyote]

What part of it is broken? Or just completely

[glass acorn]

Alot tbh

The states tool is buggy so it ends up making you do 3x the work

Supply map doesn't show supply hubs and crashes if you try to edit hubs

Database crashes unless you start a game prior

So yeah

[autumn coyote]

I love paradox😭

They cant do shit🙏

[azure summit]

Tell me when ur free bro

[proven sage]

[azure summit]

Wait a Sec im eating rn

[azure summit]

[rare grove]

[autumn coyote]

How do you edit tiles / add new ones?

[rare grove]

[mortal pilot]

what is the code to modify a national spirit with a focus?

[mortal pilot]

completion_reward = {
custom_effect_tooltip = PER_legacy_of_greatness_tt
add_to_variable = {
PER_legacy_research = 0.02
tooltip = research_speed_factor_tt
}
add_to_variable = {
PER_legacy_stability = 0.01
tooltip = stability_factor_tt
}
}

this makes no sense

[proven sage]

huh? you cant modify national spirits with focuses unless, if its not a "clasicall national spirit"

[mortal pilot]

alright how do i make a national focus which i can modify?

[proven sage]

either you create more ideas, that are similar to the other one, but change only what you need. or you have to create somethin based of Soviet five year plan (which is in modifiers i think) or german economic tree (which is in history files), which is not a national spirit, but its a modifier, that gets defined by its national spirit in ideas file, but dont know more about it

[twilit wave]

What about making a mod that have a start with all nations possible (fragmenting every nation if have others annexed like russia)

[mortal pilot]

i can't find it's thing

for example with iran's a legacy of greatness

PER_legacy_of_greatness_modifier

it's just not anywhere to be found

[proven sage]

yeah, you have to ask someone else, if you´ll check the ideas on ger or sov, what i mentioned, you will see that you prob need more files

[mortal pilot]

yeah but it doesn't make sense

i can't find where they add the icon to it

or where the first make the ns

[proven sage]

i think that is the ideas file

[mortal pilot]

it's not tho

[mortal pilot]

it says it's a tooltip

i think

but it's not in ideas

SOV_industrial_modernization_ns_tt

[proven sage]

yeah, idk

[sharp knoll]

Any ideas?

[stray ore]

hey i cant mod but would like to learn it wanna anybody teach me?

[shadow dew]

yo the chaos mod can actually give u DLC exclusive focus trees when u dont have the dlcs

i got the norway focus tree without the dlc from the chaos mod

[mortal pilot]

anyone here knows how add_dynamic_modifier works?

if yes please explain it to me a bit

[cursive atlas]

How do i make a country independent? for example if i wanted India to be free instead of a british raj puppet, how would i do that?

[proven sage]

Like which way? Modding or console commands?

[cursive atlas]

Modding
