modding

[patent linden]

I forgot where it was but thats possible

gimme a sec

[rare grove]

or can i just make a focus tree that i give to everyone?

[patent linden]

well you can edit the generic one

[delicate tangle]

Gustav IV is your mod public, even if it's just beta I would love to play a Napolianic era mod

[rare grove]

yeah its public its in beta

"Napoleonic wars 1789-1836 redux"

on steam

[patent linden]

lol

Im working on one that is aftermath of a napoleonic victory

what a coincidence

[delicate tangle]

Thank you

[patent linden]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/index.php?title=Generic_national_focus_tree&section=1

this, to me, implies that you have to tell the game that your countries dont have focus trees somehow

[delicate tangle]

Could you somehow set the basic focus tree to be nothing?

[rare grove]

yes

[patent linden]

More guesswork than anything, but

focus_tree = {
    id = afghanistan_tree
    
    country = {
        factor = 0
        modifier = {
            add = 10
            tag = AFG
            has_dlc = "Graveyard of                                     Empires"
        }
    }
}

You probably have to create the national focus tree file for all your countries and then use an effect/trigger, whatever that is always false

[rare grove]

i made chatgpt do it

i copied the countries focus trees from the hoi4 modding national focus page

and asked for the id

[patent linden]

the generic focus tree is stored in "generic.txt" in the common/national_focus folder, you can edit that to be whatever you want

[patent linden]

I wouldnt rely on that

[rare grove]

i pased this text

and it made that perfectly

[patent linden]

your call, but i personally have made the experience that LLMs are highly unreliable when it comes to stuff like this

[rare grove]

this code doesnt work

xibei san ma raj iran etc still have their focus trees

ah you need to add it for each country

chatgpt helped me out

common/country_tag_aliases/tag_aliases.txt:76: has_focus_tree: country does not have a focus tree

ah great more errors

at least no crashes tho

[surreal haven]

yes

[patent linden]

I cant find anything that does precisely what you want
"https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Triggers"

Depending on what you want to do, i would just check if the country you are targeting has capitulated, germany controls the capital state, and some country_flag has been set like "can_be_robbed" which you can attach to the "on_capitulation" on action

[rare grove]

i figured out how to change basegame loading screens

how to change dlc loading screens tho?

[spice cradle]

how do I add more models to the gfx lineup on plane designer?

[surreal haven]

is there a way to make a idea that limits the army to 100k manpower?

and how to make dynamic ideas

[night mirage]

any polish people who can help me?

[limpid lagoon]

help

my event does work

[patent linden]

whats the problem if it works

[limpid lagoon]

in the 3rt image it says invalide event whith id

idk what that means

[patent linden]

did you do "add_namespace = new_pt" in the top part of the file?

[limpid lagoon]

yes

here

[patent linden]

try restarting the game

[limpid lagoon]

i did it 3 times already

[patent linden]

hmm

[limpid lagoon]

nothing changed

also the {} are all in place

[patent linden]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/National_focus_modding

try putting the country_event inside a country tag Block

[limpid lagoon]

will do, will say what happen later

@patent linden it work

thx so much

[patent linden]

you're welcome

I would advice trying to use the wiki for this as much as possible, saves you time

[limpid lagoon]

ik but it to conveluted sometimes

[surreal haven]

nie ogarniam az tak ale moge pomóc

anyone knows how to change the start date?

[sleek terrace]

Kinda easy, go for common/define/00_definition.lua

Search the base game files for more detail

Idk if that's enough, but certainly should be

[surreal haven]

do i need to make a bookmark?

[sleek terrace]

By the way, I happened to see those definitions while I was looking for something else, but you should be good with them

[sleek terrace]

??

[surreal haven]

the scenarios have bookmarks

[sleek terrace]

Well... You can do it

[surreal haven]

does it change anything?

[sleek terrace]

Idk, but depending on what you see there, it can

The define files will work as well, as it is what defines the start date, and the ending date (1949)

Well, I have to go now, ping me if I can help you in any way

I will see it later

[surreal haven]

okay bye

i changed the start date and it works but there is just one issue

@sleek terrace

its 1 january 1932

[last igloo]

How to add a dynamic modifier to an idea ? With a decision effet

[patent linden]

state_of_the_prussian_army_dynamic =
{
    icon = generic_war_preparation
    enable = { always = yes }
    remove_trigger = { always = no }

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

    if =
    {
        limit = { has_country_flag = GER_prussian_army_reform_finished }
        experience_gain_army = 0.3        
    }
}```

I did this a while back so my meory is a bit fuzzy, but this is an example. It's in the common/dynamic_modifiers/0_dynamic_modifiers file, although the filename is irrelevant, build similar to a regular idea

add_dynamic_modifier =
{
modifier = state_of_the_prussian_army_dynamic
}

Added like this in the countries history file (history/countries/country file here)

"prussian_army_attack_factor" these are variables

set_variable =
{
var = prussian_army_attack_factor
value = -0.10
}```
set like this, also in the history file.

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

although i noticed that my icon isn't loading, so take this with a grian of salt

[last igloo]

yes but how to modify an idea with that ?

[patent linden]

its a standalone thing that replaces an idea

add_dynamic_modifier =  
{ 
    modifier = state_of_the_prussian_army_dynamic
} 

If you do this, it shows up in your idea tab

so frontend looks the same as ideas

[last igloo]

ok I will try thank you

[raven hedge]

I need help

I need help,Somehow game doesn't recognize my Country Tag whenever I give it a state using setowner

Structure is like that

Yeah that's all

[surreal haven]

@patent linden can you help me?

[patent linden]

I'm currently busy, tell me what you want to now and I'll get to you when im back

[surreal haven]

i have changed the start date to 1932

and i think the research is broken

[raven hedge]

I need help,Somehow game doesn't recognize my Country Tag whenever I give it a state using setowner

[raven hedge]

Here

[raven hedge]

Here 2

[raven hedge]

Here 3

[patent linden]

try creating it again and see what happens

[patent linden]

I dont know how the game handles the research stuff

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Technology_modding

[raven hedge]

Could anyone help me

If possible

[patent linden]

try using the original countries file in the country_tag folder instead of the new one you created and append your country to it

maybe the game doesnt like the name of your file

[raven hedge]

@patent linden I did that

Yet It didn't work

I can send you the project If you want to take a look

[patent linden]

its probably some miniscule detail

[patent linden]

what is the error exactly

[raven hedge]

It says Invalid tag whenever I give it a state by using setowner command

graphical_culture = eastern_european_gfx

graphical_culture_2d = eastern_european_2d

color = { 144 0 32 }

capital = 49
ideology = neutrality

[patent linden]

ideology and capital dont belong it that file

can you set some state in the history/states folder to be owned by that tag

[raven hedge]

Is it necessary?

[patent linden]

no, just want to see if that works

[raven hedge]

alr

[patent linden]

makes the country spawn on game start

[raven hedge]

to the states right

[patent linden]

history/states/random state file

doesnt matter which

just to see what happens

if the country spawns, the tag should work

if it doesnt, the error log might hold more information

[raven hedge]

let me try

[raven hedge]

I doubt

that error would give Info since It covered already that tag doesn't exist

@patent linden Is there any mis typos?

[patent linden]

i didnt spot any

doesnt really mean anything though...

[raven hedge]

That's weird

Yeah that one didn't work too

[patent linden]

what does the map look like

there should be an unowned province then

[raven hedge]

Ankara is still owned by Turkey (STATE ID 49)

[patent linden]

show me the state history file of Ankara

[raven hedge]

state={
id=49
name="STATE_49" # Ankara
manpower = 810284
resources={
chromium=11 # was: 16
steel = 28
}

state_category = town

history={
    owner = TNF
    victory_points = {
        11747 15
    }
    victory_points = {
        804 5 
    }
    victory_points = {
        3951 1
    }
    buildings = {
        infrastructure = 2
        arms_factory = 2
        industrial_complex = 2
        air_base = 3
    }
    add_core_of = TNF
}

provinces={
    804 909 3907 3951 6808 6908 6925 9806 9901 11747 11784 
}

local_supplies=7.0 

}

[patent linden]

btw. did you activate the mod?

[raven hedge]

I did

It means active

[patent linden]

"19"

are you running any other mods?

[raven hedge]

Nah

I removed other mods

[patent linden]

though if you did that, and the tag is invalid, the state should be unowned and a map error should occur

[patent linden]

turkey still owning the state seems odd

[raven hedge]

Shall I give a shot

[patent linden]

try that

see if you have the correct playset selected

[raven hedge]

oh

wait

@patent linden Is it important that

where shall I put their priority like 19

It doesn't work again

[patent linden]

that to me just seems like the mod isnt loading at all

gimme a sec

[raven hedge]

Yeah

I can see it too

KIT WORKED

@raven hedge

@patent linden

@patent linden I changed

Mod playet

playset

[patent linden]

Bruh

yeah as i said

[patent linden]

some miniscule bullshit

[raven hedge]

Wait

[patent linden]

the mod quite literally wasnt loaded

[raven hedge]

Why doesn't my flags show up?

l_english:
TNF:0 "Turkish National Front"
TNF_DEF:0 "Turkiye"
TNF_ADJ:0 "Turkish"
so Is this

tnf_countries_l_english.yml

Shall I put them to original

[patent linden]

The image files are a bit finicky,

they need a specific formatting

[raven hedge]

The tag was

TNF

[patent linden]

oh yeah, it needs an ideology tag behind it

so TNF_democratic or equivalents

[raven hedge]

I thought It didn't even need

one

It can be when It's TNF It's known as casual flag

TNF only

[patent linden]

copy a flag from another country and overwrite it with a differenc tpicture

[raven hedge]

Fixed them

@patent linden Thank you

well fix it then

hmm

can you send the entire log

I assume its something in common folder

[royal quartz]

Most of it is just effects and stuff

From overhaul

Sigh now I know to not

just yet

[patent linden]

have you tried sacrificing a goat

[royal quartz]

Hm not yet

Rahh managed to reduce errors to under 900 lines

So

I stil ldont know why its crashing

[sleek terrace]

So, you want to change the month or something?

Or there is an unwanted technology that is researched automatically as well?

I'm outside, in an hour or so I'm back home and I can help you properly

[patent linden]

me neither

at this point running it through an LLM could reveal the error

maybe

[royal quartz]

I'll just drop the log and hope some kind soul spots the game breaking error, ngl idk why it straight up lies about malformed tokens when I can clearly see they are fine

"Muh malformed token!!!"

[royal quartz]

Have a sneaking suspicion this might be the new reason why

I dont uh, see the malformed token tho

[sleek terrace]

I need help on .png to .dds conversions. I always lose quality when doing it, and get some weird artifacts. I would appreciate some help

[pastel iron]

yo does anyone know how you can modify ideas in the game?

like for example making a decision which makes the great depression a little bit less worse

[patent linden]

try different online converter sites and see what gives you the best result

maybe AI upscaling

[patent linden]

The game can handle this in 2 different ways:
See picture one, https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect, You effectively replace your idea with a different one that has different values for the things you wanna modify, so instead of 20% consumer goods, the second idea only has 15%, the other is with dynamic modifiers and variables

[patent linden]

see my schizo ranting for the dynamic modifiers here

in your case you can probably just modify the different depression modifiers in the commmon/ideas/<whatever file they are in> file

[pastel iron]

ty bro

[sleek terrace]

it always gives me some weird artifacts

I've already tried using like... 12 different sites

[patent linden]

hmm

have you tried using gimp

see if you can save your file as a different file type

maybe that works better

[sleek terrace]

look at the difference

[sleek terrace]

it does not have the .dds option

[patent linden]

you can somehow add that

[sleek terrace]

the artifact

[patent linden]

gimme a sec

https://itechhacks.com/install-dds-plugin-for-gimp/

[sleek terrace]

compare the original with the artifact (the white background I've added myself to improve sight)

[sleek terrace]

thank, lemme install it real quick

[patent linden]

im not the artistic type, i dont really see any noticeable difference

[sleek terrace]

look at the quality

the first one has saturation, it is "health", and the second one if we can compare, would be that unhealth pale patient in a hospital

[sleek terrace]

It worked! Thank

Well, the link didn't, but your idea did

[patent linden]

youre welcome

[sleek terrace]

wanna see the results later?

[patent linden]

sure

[sleek terrace]

I'm doing a new vp selection

I just need to change the colors of the last vp icons, and it will be done

It is kinda lame ngl, but that's all I can do

Thankfully I am good at programming, because if I was to live on the art, I would be broke

[patent linden]

yeah im not artistic myself

my focus icons look like this

[sleek terrace]

but looking at the image, you can notice the hierarch between vp icons, right

that's what matters

[sleek terrace]

that's awesome

[patent linden]

yeah

[sleek terrace]

finished the last icons. Now I'm going to convert and launch

then, as Austria, I'm going to test if the new victory point tier works properly or not

[patent linden]

when has anything ever just worked

Life could be a dream

need to get to the austria part in my mod too

dont feel like it right now though

[sleek terrace]

yeah lmao

But I made it!

you can count, there are 5 different vp icons

when in the base game there's only four

[sleek terrace]

that's quite like how everyone feels

btw, I marked the vps to make it clearer

[sleek terrace]

forget this shit, I've got something better

[long crescent]

Hello is it me your looking for

[sour temple]

I'm not sure where to put this question, but is there a reason why terrain buffs inside technologies are only able to be applied to specific units instead of to categories of units?

[mint oar]

i need help with this, i basicly guessed how i would logicly do this and it didnt work lol

[sour temple]

I believe you want it like if = { limit = { NOT = { has_tech = 422 } } set_technology = { para_tech = 1 } }

[mint oar]

i'll try, how does it work so i can learn, what does limit do/mean?

[sour temple]

it's what has to contain the {NOT} to act for the {if}

[mint oar]

a ok i think i get it

thx

[sour temple]

does anyone know where the combat tactics for Preferred Tactics are stored? Not the combat_tactics file itself but like, the controller for those tactics in the unit/country view

I looked at countryofficercorpview but that's one step above what I'm looking for

Heyo im trying to make a joint focus tree and this error just pops up every tick tbe focus is open, pls help

[sour temple]

is the encoding in UTF-8-BOM?

[plush tangle]

No

[sour temple]

do so

[plush tangle]

How do I do that

[vapid dagger]

Just copy a vanilla file and replace that localisation with yours

[plush tangle]

Ight thanks

[sour temple]

or if you have notepad++ it's on the topbar in a dropdown menu

[pastel isle]

How to fix it? and wdym by its mismatched?

I got it

[wise cradle]

What does major do ?

[pastel isle]

Idk, maybe make it a major event

I saw it usually on news event

[midnight sail]

So when Im making a event, how do I make the option trigger another event two days later?

[midnight sail]

It sends the event to every country if any country receives it

[pastel isle]

So, basically a major news

Yep

[honest eagle]

Is it formatted properly? I haven’t ever done scripted stuff so idk if it is

[limber torrent]

I haven’t seen u for some time huh

[honest eagle]

Haven’t really been in a hoi4 mood for a while 🥀

[vapid dagger]

Yea it is, i also tried doing it without the scripted but it had a similiar error, i thought maybe scripted would fix it cus its used in basegame but well it didnt

[honest eagle]

Does it work in game or is it completely broken?

[vapid dagger]

It works its just the errors that appear every tick like i had around 10k same errors after 1 minute

[honest eagle]

That is incredibly odd

Hoi4 modding just be like that sometimes

[patent linden]

I prefer this over shit not working and the error log refusing to tell me why

[vapid dagger]

Also after reloading it magically fixes itself so maybe its something with how its loaded but idk

[vapid dagger]

Yea thats annoying

[honest eagle]

Amen

Much better to have it show an error but work

[honest eagle]

It might be

Idk what else it could be

[vapid dagger]

Its literally just this on the right side, i also dont get why u can use other triggers like is_in_faction_with for the joint-members

anyone know how to do the: 10 % chance of getting [event]. after a decision timer. like with strikes

after the trigger I think

[dull crystal]

it depends on the ideology of the overlord

oml thank you

[tame flint]

Hi I have a question. Could anyone help me understand why the portrait for my general isn't showing up? The last portrait keeps showing up even though my image is a .dds file and has the correct size of 156 × 210.

[ripe perch]

the name is different in the gfx file and the character file

[tame flint]

huh thx but Doesn't the dds have to be there? and what is the correct name? (sry I'm new to modding)

[ripe perch]

there is an error in your gfx file. you uses 2 time spriteTypes, but the second one is just spriteType without the "s" at the end

and the name in the gfx file should be the same as large pic in your character file

[tame flint]

thx but I did something wrong :-:

[lost igloo]

the focus im coding isnt working, the effect is meant to add a political advisor to the government

[pale sparrow]

Code screenshot?

[pale sparrow]

Gfx file has double extension

And IIRC spritetypes inner one should be spritetype

[lost igloo]

im relatively new to hoi4 moddin so atm im jus making a custom one for me and my friends

[lofty plaza]

Because we don't know the answer

No need to be rude about it

[pastel isle]

Nvm, I got it, but I have 1 problem

The image isn't changed depend on the global flag

and I guess this the one can change the image. But I want someone explain how to use this "properties"

[pastel sleet]

Oh, it was complicated than my expectation. Can you show us all of your text for your super event?

[pastel isle]

I will send scripted gui, scripted local, .gui file and .gfx file, plus .yml file

[wise cradle]

Can you show us the super event

[pastel isle]

sure

Uhh, I can't record it

wait

I'm just gonna screenshot it -_-

This is the first superevent and it using wrong image

and this is the second superevent I made and it using the correct image

nvm

I got there is something wrong with the .gui

there is misspelled name

mods are created locally, you don't have to upload it

[eager current]

did anyone else ever faced the problem when giving a custom country a starting country's capital, ex; Belgium's, the game crashes while loading in. I tried looking it up, asking AI, but nothing seemed to do the trick.

[ripe perch]

maybe your country history file is broken

[lofty plaza]

Its not really hard to make research stuff but it takes a while to make an extensive one

[glass acorn]

Everytime I check PDX's update logs I get a bit hopeful

But then it never says they fixed the nudger 🥀

Does anyone here play TNO and if so can they answer a question for me?

[wise phoenix]

are there any tools that make creating a focus tree easier?

Are you using VScode?

If do so, you can use Hoi4 Mod Utitles

[pastel isle]

Don't worry about it, it's just bunch of ideology error which the nation in game doesn't have

[sleek terrace]

Hey, is it possible to modify the state provinces? Like... Transfer one province to another state

Via focus or via decision

I have a plan to create more states throughout the gameplay and not static

[patent linden]

i dont think thats possible

[sleek terrace]

Really? Well...

People said that adding a new victory point tier was impossible, even the AI said that, and I managed to do it

By the way, I teach it for free, I refuse to let the 5 hours of research I did vanish

Soooo, If you are interested...

DM is open

[patent linden]

I think you are using the "OR" block wrong, it should look something like this:

trigger = 
            {
                OR =
                {
                    tag = ITA
                        
                    GER = { controls_state = 907 }  
                    GER = { controls_state = 447 }
                       
                    ITA = { controls_state = 907 } 
                    ITA = { controls_state = 447 } 
                       
                    BUL = { controls_state = 907 }
                    BUL = { controls_state = 447 }    
                                                    
                    ROM = { controls_state = 907 }
                    ROM = { controls_state = 447 }     
                        
                }        
            }```
I would also assume the option block also has the be outside the trigger block, i also dont understand what you are trying to do with the IF block in there

[patent linden]

thanks for the offer, but i dont think ill need that knowledge for my projects

also im glad if i understand the stuff i need to understand at the moment

[mint oar]

is it possible to make a technology require a focus before researching?

[ripe perch]

I don't think that would be possible. technology is global for all countries, but a focus is country specific.

but you can make a hidden technology and unlock it via a fokus

[crystal jackal]

Mmm.. Not really as far as I know

[tepid notch]

If its a division you "spawned in" using focus/descision it might be bc you used a wrong name for a unit in the division, at least thats what happened to me once... I think I wrote "infantry battalion" instead of just "infantry"

[languid pendant]

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

This is happening with any icon I use.

@pastel isle is it working now?

since when hoi4 has an anarcho-communist ideology in the game(no i am not talking about the anarchists in spanish civil war, they are under the non-aligned branch)

[dry fjord]

Ethiopia

They've an anarcho communist path

[ancient rapids]

really?

omg

i didnt know that

is it fun?

[dry fjord]

As much fun as Ethiopia is

Very until Italy is kicked out

Xd

[ancient rapids]

wtf

only time is makes half sense

emma is a staunch ancom

[ripe perch]

i think its \§

[mint oar]

how does it work exactly, does it have a wiki page or smth?

[gilded socket]

is there a mod that releases all releasable nations in hoi4?

[mint oar]

you can (kinda) do that in vanilla, in custom game rules befoe you click start

[gilded socket]

ok

wdym kinda?

[mint oar]

if im correct it dosnt release all nations but most of them, they are called something like "split up" or "balkanise" [continent of choise] i cant remember really sorry

[gilded socket]

what is the name of the tab?

[gilded socket]

thats fine

[mint oar]

wait a min and ill check

[gilded socket]

ok cus I cant find it

[nimble solar]

I believe it is the communists for anarchist Spain. It is just you never get enough communist support to get past the non aligned

[gilded socket]

I dont have that...

[mint oar]

u sure?

[nimble solar]

What DLC do you have

[gilded socket]

non

e

[gilded socket]

ye

[nimble solar]

Did you click that button

[mint oar]

no dlc? damn

[nimble solar]

Oh yeah, some options are behind DLC

[gilded socket]

I dont play that much hoi4

so I dont think id be spending any money

[mint oar]

a ok but its maybe behind GDR or how you spell it

[nimble solar]

No

Man the Guns has Africa colonization status I believe

[ancient rapids]

feels like a teen spirit, you will eventually

[nimble solar]

Spain balkanization is behind la resistance, same with France

[ancient rapids]

göttedamerung

[mint oar]

thx

[nimble solar]

American colonization status I think is also Man the Guns

Also Trials of Allegiance

If you want native nations

American colonization status?

That's man the guns I'm pretty sure

ToA just gives you the native ones

[mint oar]

okay

[gilded socket]

25 bucks

[nimble solar]

Wait for summer sale

Or buy subscription for a month or so

Why do you want to decolonize the world

[gilded socket]

fun ig

[nimble solar]

There is no fun

You slow the game down considerably

[gilded socket]

[nimble solar]

No

That's tech support

[gilded socket]

a

oh

[ancient rapids]

how to uncomplete a focus in hoi4

with command structure i mean

[nimble solar]

Huh

You can't uncompleted focuses and what do you mean by command structure

Like did you click the wrong general trait?

[ancient rapids]

no

you can

in a mod gwr there was an event that makes you "uncomplete" the completed focus

i thought it is a vanilla thing too

[nimble solar]

Oh wait

This is modding

Oops

Yeah, not sure then

[ancient rapids]

bruh

[patent linden]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect

this exists, see if this does what you want

[ancient rapids]

yes

thats what i want

[cerulean trellis]

I have ideas for some mods that I want to create, But I don't know how to mod or program. I want to see if anybody can make these mods and will get credit when posted.

[ancient rapids]

so you want a slave to make mods for you and then release it like yours?

go learn yourself bud.

[sly heron]

I don't think you will find anybody willing to work for you unless you are willing to pay them in cash for their labor.

[cerulean trellis]

well no shit, they'll get paid.

[cerulean trellis]

they'll get most of the credit.

[twin crag]

I mean if they will get paid i see no problem in his request. Movies work the same too, a director pays people to do an idea of his, he gets credit? Yea he does but not as the actors that made the movie happen.

But I recommend you to learn a little bit too, it is not programming it is having logics and just changing files in its entirety, maybe adding something more, but like programming programming? Nah

[cerulean trellis]

Right, They will get 99.9% of the credit. The only part that I will get the credit by is probably having the idea.

[cerulean trellis]

Yeah I will try. But the reason why I'm asking cuz I doubt I will be able to. I can't even make a mod that changes the flag of a country.

Let alone changing the mechanics.

But I understand how big a question is.

[twin crag]

Hahaha no worries, if you are interested check on youtube, or if you are not interested find the portraits, flags, try making the lore, maybe even a map with the borders you want, concept for focuses

That'll help the modders

Also if you have reddit post it on there

[mint oar]

its on sale rn lol

[sly heron]

Sorry to bother you all with a question I bet you get a lot, but...

I decided to try and follow the modding beginner modding toturial that the Hearts of Iron VI youtube channel presented, and it seemed to go fine until I got these error messages.
Example: title is unexpected in country_event
Do anybody here know what the error means and how I fix it?

[ripe perch]

your events folder is in the wrong position, it should be a subfolder of your main mod folder not within common\ideas

[sly heron]

Thanks, I'll look into trying to fix that right away.

[sly heron]

Wait, so this is wrong?

[ripe perch]

yes, move the events folder into myfirstmod folder

[sly heron]

Wow. That seems to have done it. Thanks.

[ripe perch]

the folder structure in your mod need to be the same as in the game folder otherwise it will not work

[sly heron]

Words to live by.

[solid steppe]

Does anyone know how to make the AI choose equipment icons for the designer? Sick and tired of the AI design icons being random biplanes

Ruins mah mod's immersion

Or at least to change the best match to actually fit equipment types

[ripe perch]

its a bug with the biplanes since By Blood Alone was released

[solid steppe]

Yuh but is there just no way to go around it? Thought maybe making the AI pick icons when making the templates should work

Or perhaps editing that "best match" feature

[ripe perch]

in the template you can choose the role icon, but not the 2d/3d model

[solid steppe]

I mean in the ai_equipment folder

[ripe perch]

yes you can set role_icon_indexin the ai_equipment, but not the 2d/3d model

[solid steppe]

Wiki says it's only for ships

But thanks Im gonna try it

[idle sonnet]

I have played on this safe file for a long time and built up a strong nation but right now i am getting run over in a war i need a mod that can allow me to just remove them or take controll of them XD. I dont care how OP it is or how cheaty it is i just want this gone.(btw i play multiplayer)

[distant island]

yay dynamic modifiers more braincells lost

[pastel isle]

Still no

[sour temple]

Do terrain-buffing and need = technologies have to be applied on a per-unit basis, or is there some way to make it apply to an entire unit category that I'm missing?

[ripe perch]

post again a screenshot of your GFX file and your IDEAS file

[ripe perch]

in your GFX file it need to be name = GFX_idea_XXX and in your ideas file it is just picture = XXX, this is very special for ideas icons

[pastel isle]

Oh

Alright

[pastel isle]

it works!

Do you have ideas for more focus tree and how to make a good focus and ideas icon

[pastel sleet]

Maybe you could add economy tree which gives player some factories and something

I think it’s quite bad idea, but you could copy and paste icons from other mods and change a bit to practice you skill to make icons

[pastel isle]

That's already in decisions

[pastel isle]

4 of them is from other mods

[stiff ruin]

i am trying to make a simple mod just to see if i can (and open the door for further attempts) but for some reason the game is unable to find the mod

[ripe perch]

what do you do to get that message?

[stiff ruin]

simply open the mod, the game still loads in, but its just vanilla

[median compass]

why debug nuking not work

[ripe perch]

create the mod via paradox launcher, then create a playlist and add your mod. before starting the game select your playlist

[stiff ruin]

i am not an idiot (trying to sound cool not sassy or rude)
i already did that, the files should be correct (after the tutorial i followed)

[ripe perch]

ok, so tell me what do you do, that you get that error message?

[median compass]

why debug nuking not work

[ripe perch]

nuke system changed with götterdämmerung dlc

[median compass]

what dlc

the name the dlc

o

[stiff ruin]

firs topen launcher, i have debug and crash report on

then i, as you said, have the mod (which was created via the launcher) in the playset, and i select the playset, i launch game. after a few seconds, this pops up, which i assume means the mod wasnt found

[median compass]

so

this one

[ripe perch]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Götterdämmerung

[median compass]

thanks

[ripe perch]

i guess it has something to do with onedrive. did you activate onedrive after installing the game?

[stiff ruin]

i am not sure what you mean... other mods, which are saved in the same spot, work so i dont see how that should be a problem. if i am mistaken by such an assumption, how do i check if its activated?

[ripe perch]

if your mod has an error it tries to open the error.log file, which causes the error you see, because it cannot find the path where the file is located

[stiff ruin]

so any error breaks the mod?

[ripe perch]

if you are in debug mode it automatically open the error.log during game start

[stiff ruin]

i see... but why does it not find it?

[ripe perch]

because it does not know the path, that happen when you activate/deactivate onedrive after installation

[stiff ruin]

... can you explain this to me as if this was my first time using anything else than youtube o my computer?

including how to activate it

[ripe perch]

I don't know how to fix it, but others had the same problem

you can open the error.log manually, it is in your documents folder under Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV

[stiff ruin]

ahhh, so you are saying that there is an error, but it doesnt pop up while launching the game, and i shoudl manually check the error file to see what is wrong?

[ripe perch]

correct

[stiff ruin]

where after hearts of iron?

[ripe perch]

error.log

[stiff ruin]

its not there

wait, logs

none of the errors seems to be linked to the mod

[ripe perch]

acticate only one mod, start the game and check the error.log

[stiff ruin]

its jsut my mod

in the playsert

[ripe perch]

so all errors belong to your mod

[stiff ruin]

almost all the errors were about equipment, and i have not touched equipment in my mod

[ripe perch]

post the error.log here

[ripe perch]

i don't know, looks like you have two corrupted mods, see line one and line two

[stiff ruin]

yeah, i too saw that, but i dont understand why it refers to those mods when they are not in the playset

[ripe perch]

these are steam mods, I guess your mod is locally

[stiff ruin]

thats right

[ripe perch]

are you sure you have the right playlist selected?

[stiff ruin]

yes

i have checked it like 5 times now

[ripe perch]

did you subscribe your own mod, because it does not work it you have the same mod twice

[stiff ruin]

no, i have also not uploaded it. omly the local version

[ripe perch]

I don't know, there could be 1000 reasons why your mod is not working

[stiff ruin]

well, i guess i will jsut rewatch the tutorial

[ripe perch]

do you have all dlc? the errors could be because you miss a dlc

there is no major error in your error log

[stiff ruin]

all except south america and the middle east, i rarely play vanilla so i saw no need to buying them

[ripe perch]

i guess something is wrong with your folder structure in your mod

what do you try to do with your mod?

[stiff ruin]

as for now, just make an event

eventually tie a national spirit to the event

i was planning on learning these thigns today, then learn about focuses tomorrow

[ripe perch]

events are complicated, many mistakes can be made

I can recommend the events wiki page https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Event_modding

[stiff ruin]

may i ask, why is there an error for name?

[ripe perch]

its a yellow error, so maybe its not in the localization file

when you hover your mouse over the error it shows you a tooltip

[stiff ruin]

i see it, for some reason i wrote "test.1" instead of "test 1"

[pastel sleet]

How can I modify ideas through NF without replacing my idea

Nvm I got both of them working

[wise cradle]

It would help to see you full coding

[stiff ruin]

As i said later, i wrote "test.1" instead of "test 1"

[patent linden]

#modding message

of course, if they are preexisting ideas that you want to modify, you will have to stick to the method the game used to implement them, if you made the ideas yourself, you can choose which version you like better

swapping ideas is easier, but modifiers are more versatile and allow for more cool shit

[ripe perch]

the file name of your flag should be the same as your cosmetic tag

[ripe perch]

you need to define names for you country tag within common\names

i put this in common/names: DUR = {

why does the game say that there is no such evetn when i try to trigger it?

[ripe perch]

you can set a flag within your event and check if the flag has been set in your decision

[south ridge]

Anyone know how to mod, looking for a collaboration in here?

[mint oar]

what mod?

[south ridge]

Doesn't exist yet

[rapid tinsel]

where does new map definiton with provinces go after publishing the mod? my old one got renamed to "definition.csv.old" and now i've got problems like "province 13380 has no continent", "Bitmap and province definition disagree on whether or not province 13378 is coastal", etc.

[lean pagoda]

Is there any mods to make the game easier?

[twin crag]

Js learn the game man

[lean pagoda]

Just asking no need to put that emoji

[stiff ruin]

have you tried putting the difficulity to rookie? if that doesn't work i would suggest a mod which makes you able to integrate any state

[lean pagoda]

The game itself i easy like the wars i just find all the menus confusing to look through

[stiff ruin]

ahhh, then you should have asked for overlays or something

i think there is a mod which gives different colours to all the menus

Thank you

[stiff ruin]

i am once again asking for what i did wrong:

[ripe perch]

is your events folder in the right place? its in the main folder not within common

[stiff ruin]

yes, its in the mod folder not in common

should it be in common?

[ripe perch]

no

it looks correct

[stiff ruin]

that is what i also thought

but when i write "event britain_test.1" it pops up that there is no such event

[ripe perch]

is your mod loaded, did you use the correct playset

[stiff ruin]

of course

i saved the files, i opened the launcher, and started the game with the mod loaded

[ripe perch]

send a screenshot from your mod folder structure

[ripe perch]

looks good, whats within events

[stiff ruin]

just this event

which is the one whcihc doesnt work

[ripe perch]

idk, everything looks correct

[stiff ruin]

do i have to do something other than just saving the files before opening the game?

[ripe perch]

no thats fine. what you could do is loading the game in debug mode, so you can do changes and dont have to reload the game

[stiff ruin]

i have opened it in debug mode always

but that doesnt help if i cannot see what is wrong

[winter maple]

hi chat

i'm trying to download OWB via the launcher and this keeps happening. I have done all of that and also uninstalled it and resubscribed

anyone have any idea how to fix it?

[ripe perch]

does it work with other mods?

[winter maple]

yeah i have kaiserreich installed

i'm still fairly new to downloading mods for this as I still feel like i have so much to do in non modded version, but I've dabbled in Kaiserreich a bit and that works fine

and is still installed

[ripe perch]

is it a steam mod?

looks like its from paradoxplaza, I recommend using the steam mod

How do i get rid of invalid decision id for AFG without replacing the decisions path?

[vernal wigeon]

Hi people. does somebody know, what is causing the crash issue after I updated the states and corresponding provinces? I mean, I understand that the problem is within a state code, but are there any ways to check, which state exactly is causing the issue?

[ripe perch]

did you check error.log?

[vague zealot]

hi, does anybody have an idea of how to play as a nation without land without using the exile mechanic?

would being a puppet work? Or perhaps being in the same faction?

[lavish kestrel]

programmatically written hoi4 mods are certainly an interesting concept

this is just the hardcoded bits of automatically creating a music mod, i wonder how implementing the rest of the scripted language logic will go

[stiff ruin]

Is each part after "as const" one song?

[lavish kestrel]

yes the music = ... line is for each song

https://github.com/emberglazee/yt2hoi4 in fact here's the source code

[raven hedge]

Does anyone know how to modify state info ui and add it a button which opens another ui?

I have done the UI button adding and other UI window creation part,but I doN't know how to make it show the other ui window.

[pale sparrow]

Add an empty AFG.txt file

[raven hedge]

uh

[pale sparrow]

See parent_window on the interface wiki

[raven hedge]

wdym

interface folder?

[pale sparrow]

No see the wiki pages on interface modding and search parent_window

[raven hedge]

oh ok

[stiff ruin]

is there a possibility the game doesnt recognise a mod if the mod picture isnt done properly?

[pale sparrow]

It shows modding where you attach stuff to pre-existent GUI

[pale sparrow]

No, I dont imagine so

[pale sparrow]

You need to own a state to stay existent afaik

[stiff ruin]

well then i have no idea what is wrong. after failing at events time and time again, i just tried to change the ownership of northern ireland to ireland... but nothing happened... so do anyone know why the mod isnt registring?

[pale sparrow]

Probably easiest to just upload your mod to google drive to let people take a look

[vernal wigeon]

Yeeeahh...I just deleted all states with errors and readded them, that seems to have worked

[stiff ruin]

do i then do both the folder and the mod file?

[pale sparrow]

Yeh probably put both within a folder on your drive which you share

I forgot if drive supports reading HOI files, might not even have to download them to check the code

[stiff ruin]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hNwB8EBCc_qxdNlHgZbTW2nZNBqvO_1l?usp=drive_link
here it is. i have checked the codes many times and asked a lot of people for help, neither have worked, so i do think its a problem with the game not realizing this is the mod?

[ripe perch]

do you have two mods with the same name?

[stiff ruin]

i am not sure what yo are reffering to? are you saying there might be another mod in my collection wtih the same name?

[ripe perch]

you cannot have two mods with the same name, it loads only one

[stiff ruin]

i sent the mod folder and the mod file isnt there supposed to be one of both?

[ripe perch]

your google drive is hidden, make it public

[stiff ruin]

fixed it i think

[raven hedge]

I couldn't find anything useful

I search parent_window to hoi4 paradoxwiki

ed*

searched

yet I could only find something which is not related at all

[ripe perch]

is anything in your mod working?

[stiff ruin]

nope

that is why i think its the game not recognising the mod

[raven hedge]

I couldn't find anyhing useful

Is there anyone who could help?

[ripe perch]

i am not sure, but I think the space in your folder name could be the problem

[raven hedge]

Does anyone know how to modify state info ui and add it a button which opens another ui?
I have done the UI button adding and other UI window creation part,but I doN't know how to make it show the other ui window.

[ripe perch]

replace the space with a underscore in your folder and in your .mod file

[stiff ruin]

... it might be...

the game cannot even find the mod now

[ripe perch]

you need the change the path within your .mod file as well

[stiff ruin]

i did

shoudl the path lead to the mod folder or the descriptor file inside the mod folder?

[ripe perch]

to the folder

[stiff ruin]

it cannot track the path

[ripe perch]

you can copy the path in the windows explorer to see if it is correct

[stiff ruin]

i did

[ripe perch]

and this works?

[stiff ruin]

nope

i think i will make a new mod from the paradox launcher, and just copy all the files from the first one

[raven hedge]

Does anyone know how to modify state info ui and add it a button which opens another ui?
I have done the UI button adding and other UI window creation part,but I doN't know how to make it show the other ui window.

[ripe perch]

yes try a new one and avaid spaces in the folder name

[ripe perch]

you can set a flag when you click the button, and the new window is visible if the flag is set

[raven hedge]

hmm I will give a shot I guess

[raven hedge]

No like

where and how can I define the button click event

[ripe perch]

scripted gui

[raven hedge]

uhhh yeah but

I'm using the

state info UI

you know what that is right?

It doesn't have any scripted gui

when I looked at scripted_guis section

[stiff ruin]

still doesnt work

[ripe perch]

you can create one for your window

[raven hedge]

uhh yeah but It gives strange error

It generates another state info UI when I do

it

[stiff ruin]

it seems like the files themselves still believe they are in the old mod folder...

[ripe perch]

I am not the ui expert, could you not check existing code how this opens a new window like collaborations or mio

[raven hedge]

Alright let me research more then

[ripe perch]

maybe clean your mod folder, and start with a new one

[stiff ruin]

take the files themselves in another safe spot and then add new organisation folders, or start from scratch?

alternative c: make new files, but copy the contents from the old ones

[ripe perch]

delete (or move) everything within the mod folder, then verify the hoi4 files via steam and then you can create a new mod with the launcher

[stiff ruin]

do you mean the hoi4 mod folder, or the flder for this mod?

[ripe perch]

the hoi4 mod folder, looks like something is in there which causes an error and your mod is not loaded

[stiff ruin]

so just delete all my mods

[ripe perch]

or move it somewhere else, you dont have to delete it

[stiff ruin]

i was refering to my downloaded mods

[ripe perch]

i think somesthing is broken with your other mods

[stiff ruin]

they have all worked fine...

[ripe perch]

steam should re-download it

[stiff ruin]

i do get an error mod which refers to two other mods when i try this mod.. i should sheck what they actualy are

[stiff ruin]

so its safe to delete all the mods as long as i do not unsubscribe?

they instantly reappeared

[ripe perch]

close steam

[stiff ruin]

done

[ripe perch]

now verify hoi4 game files in steam

[ripe perch]

ok now create a test mod within the launcher

[raven hedge]

Does anyone know how to modify state info ui and add it a button which opens another ui?
I have done the UI button adding and other UI window creation part,but I doN't know how to make it show the other ui window.
Yeah I still couldn't find an answer for my question.

Like,I have done the button

I just need it to function

Does anyone have an Idea?

@pale sparrow May I ask to you If possible

[ripe perch]

I think scripted gui is the only way, check these examples: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1678247250

[stiff ruin]

what do you mean? an empty mod?

[raven hedge]

I'm using an already existing ui

not the one which is made from scratch man

[torpid orbit]

i have made an empty AFG decisions file and an empty AFG decisions categories file , yet they remain

[ripe perch]

that does not matter, your botton has a container name and you need the scripted gui to define what should happen if you click it

[ripe perch]

yes, create an empty mod, make a tiny change and check if the mod is loaded

[stiff ruin]

i will jsut stop and try more tomorrow

[pale sparrow]

Thats what you need

[median compass]

how i get nuke because not working debug_nuking

i have the dlc

[pale sparrow]

Debug_nuking is deprecated

[median compass]

so how i use

nuke

then?

[pale sparrow]

You can nuke with toolpack but that doesnt target a specific province

[median compass]

its a mod?

[pale sparrow]

Yes, Alternatively use a console command to unlock the special project(s)

[median compass]

i have console

and i type toolpack?

o thanks

[pale sparrow]

Nah toolpack is a mod
