[pale sparrow]

Console you gotta do some more steps

[lavish kestrel]

i absolutely love toolpack

[raven hedge]

@pale sparrow One more question,I have found the way but

Whenever I click on state,yeah UI shows up but when I click ESC

It continues to show up until I select another state

and suddenly appears again

I want it to not show up too whenever I click esc too

[raven hedge]

Same

[lavish kestrel]

i use it in my every playthrough now

[raven hedge]

It's cool.

I can't play the game without it

[pale sparrow]

I think its a basegame bug

[raven hedge]

oh

wait let me see then

@pale sparrow DidN't work,any backup ideas?

Like when I do this

before I press ESC

After I press ESC

oh wait

Well It actually works when you press ESC again but yeah when you press ESC first time It doesn't go away

[raven hedge]

Fixed

❤️

@pale sparrow Thank you

[ripe condor]

Does anyone know how I add dams to a province/state?

[ripe condor]

<@&916727924093239336> ?

[lofty plaza]

Its a building in the state file like any other

[ripe condor]

I just realized I worded that wrong

I meant, how do I add dams to a province/state as a reward for completing a focus

[lofty plaza]

Like any other building

[ripe condor]

Alr ty

I’m just trying to update this one focus to 1.16 from someone else’s mod so I’m not very experienced

[raven hedge]

Does anyone know how to make ui upon being opened,with It's variables' name or value change the InstantTextBoxes with their value or name?

How can I do that?

@pale sparrow If you can help on this one too,I would be happy

[pale sparrow]

Wdym

[foggy depot]

how does this work

[raven hedge]

I have made the button show up,now I need it to when button is pressed,I need other ui to show the variables which I have assigned to the each state to show up in InstantTextBoxes

[vague sand]

hey everyone! I'm working on a mod for a German disunification tree. any comments on my design?

[raven hedge]

@pale sparrow Any idea? (Sorry If I'm bothering)

scripted_localisation = {
    name = my_state_name
    localisation_key  = "[This.GetName]"
}

l_english:
 STATE_NAME_LINE: "State: $MY_STATE_NAME$"

        instantTextBoxType = {
        
            name = "state_name"
            
            size = { width = 40 height = 280  }
            
            position = { x = 150 y = 40 }

            
            format = center
            
            text = "$STATE_NAME_LINE$"
        
        }

[raven hedge]

If anyone could help

[raven hedge]

Nevermind,fixed

[stiff ruin]

so in theory to make a mod were Northern Ireland is controlled by Ireland i would just need to make a history folder, a states folder inside that one, and put Northern Ireland inside it with the owner changed to IRE right?

i wonder as i am still on my quest to find out why i am unable to make a mod and this seems like the quickest and easiest change to make a test mod from

[timid zephyr]

basically yeah, could mess with the colors instead aswell

[stiff ruin]

that would be find out were the country files are stored, set up the necessary folder setup, and change colour to something else

[timid zephyr]

common/countries/color.txt

I think it was BIce that I was playing once, they had a building that they didn't want you to build cost so much that it's just not worth building ever

[stiff ruin]

couldn't you also theoretically put the building behind a technology block? if fasilities counts as state buildings to some degree, couldnt you use a similar technology to require building it and this technology only being available via focus or decisions? of course that would cause the problem of it being posible to construct it after said focus so i think sar370 is right here... just make it so ai will never start building it manually

[quick timber]

How can I change tech tree’s icons ?

[candid garnet]

is there any active napoleonic era mod?

[stiff ruin]

so the mod is active... but why doesnt it do anything...?

i made the mod via the paradox launcher

literally the only thing its supposed to do is give northern ireland ti ireland

[raven hedge]

Hey I got another issue,In my UI culture doesn't show up even though I have defined it's textbox like this

        
            name = "culture_name"
            
            size = { width = 40 height = 280  }
            
            position = { x = 150 y = 90 }
            
            format = center
            
            text = "Culture -> [This.GetStateVariable:culture]"
        
        }```

state={
    id=344
    name="STATE_344"
    manpower = 1081781
    
    state_category = town

    history={
        owner = TUR
        victory_points = {
            7620 10
        }
        victory_points = {
            6813 3
        }
        buildings = {
            infrastructure = 2
            industrial_complex = 1
        }
        add_core_of = TUR
    }

    provinces={
        3889 6813 7620 9912 
    }
    

    set_variable = {
        name = cityname
        value = "Malatya"
    }

    
    set_variable = {
        name = culture
        value = "Turkish"
    }

    set_variable = {
        name = population
        value = 1081781
    }

    local_supplies=0.0 
}

## Code for example state

@pale sparrow Could you help if possible on this one?

Sorry for bothering

[pale sparrow]

IIRC you cant do string variables

Theres also pre-existent automatic population vars

[bright shoal]

I'm looking for someone who would make me a general mod, more info on dm (general's name, experience, etc. on dm) I have a graphic

[raven hedge]

oh

how can I do string ones then,Is it impossible

Like

I'm trying to my newly made ui

put an InstantTextboxType

where It will show culture's name

[ripe perch]

do a numeric variable and assign the text with a scripted localization

[raven hedge]

How though

So I assign it an ID

and give id a string definition?

from localisation?

[raven hedge]

@ripe perch Do you have any Idea on how to add variable value a text from scripted localisation?

[pale sparrow]

The UI localization is just something like "[culture_name]", while the scripted loc does check_variable checks

[raven hedge]

No what I mean

How do I do that

like I have a file rn at

scripted_localisation folder under common

my current progress is

defined_text = {

    name = culture_loc
    
    text = {
    
        localization_key = 0 # value of state
    
    }

}

[ripe perch]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation#Scripted_localisation

[raven hedge]

Was looking at here

I didn't get anything not gonna lie

Like,I have put the variable value instead of a string

I gave it 0

Now I don't know what to do

If anyone could help

I still didn't get it man

Wait I get it now

But how can I add a condition to make it show on only the states with value 0?

@ripe perch

defined_text = {

    name = culture_loc
    
    text = {
    
        localization_key = nationality_0
    
    }

}

[ripe perch]

text = { trigger = { check_variable = { my_var = 1 } } localization_key = culture_A }

[raven hedge]

oohh

alr

@ripe perch Thank you ❤️

So I now define it with

localisation

in english?

What I meant

I generate a new localisation file

and use localisation key

and write the culture's name

ar

alr*

[ripe perch]

yes

[raven hedge]

👍

[ripe perch]

in the scripted localization you need to all different cultures

[raven hedge]

Last thing

Okay I know

Last thing is

#How do I define it here

        instantTextBoxType = {
        
            name = "culture_name"
            
            size = { width = 40 height = 280  }
            
            position = { x = 150 y = 90 }
            
            format = center
            
            text = "Culture -> [SelectedState.GetStateVariable:culture]" <--- This is wrong I need the true one
        
        }

[ripe perch]

its the name of the scripted loc

[raven hedge]

I basically add the culture_loc?

    name = culture_loc
    
    text = {
    
        trigger = {
        
            check_variable = { culture = 0 }
        
        }
    
        localization_key = nationality_0
    
    }

so this is my scripted_loc file

and the name here

right

oh ok

so I write same as culture_loc to here

no brackets,nothing just the name of it

[ripe perch]

yes, text = [culture_loc] should work

[raven hedge]

👍

Thank you

Trying it out

It did work

[bright shoal]

@ripe perch One problem

For some reason every state has Turkish in it

how can I prevent it

[pale sparrow]

@raven hedge undefined variable will be read as 0

[raven hedge]

huh

why

Didn't I define it

[pale sparrow]

If Turkish is nationality value 0, every state will be that by default, unless a different value is defined

[raven hedge]

I did it

didn't you see it

In Izmir

Is it wrong

[pale sparrow]

Just letting you know since that musnt be working somehow

[raven hedge]

oh

Well shall I change the value

or

[pale sparrow]

The set_variable should be in history

I think

[raven hedge]

Yeah they're in states

[pale sparrow]

Yeh but not in the history block

[raven hedge]

oh

[pale sparrow]

I think the game isnt expecting the variable setting effect there

[raven hedge]

Well they're not in history block

[pale sparrow]

Thats the problem

[raven hedge]

scope

oh

[pale sparrow]

They should be Im pretty sure, because history is an effect block

[raven hedge]

alr

[mint oar]

where are these gfx assets and spritypes located?

in the special project tab btw

[ripe perch]

gfx\interface\special_project

[raven hedge]

@pale sparrow Well that didn'T work

I put it inside of history scope

state={
    id=344
    name="STATE_344"
    manpower = 1081781
    
    state_category = town

    history={
        owner = TUR
        victory_points = {
            7620 10
        }
        victory_points = {
            6813 3
        }
        buildings = {
            infrastructure = 2
            industrial_complex = 1
        }
        set_variable = {
            name = culture
            value = 0
        }
        add_core_of = TUR
    }

    provinces={
        3889 6813 7620 9912 
    }

    local_supplies=0.0 
}

You meant like that?

It's my current file status

[thorny shoal]

Has this happened to anybody?

[thorny shoal]

Nvm I fixed it

[mint oar]

oh thats simple

[ripe perch]

start with 1 not with 0. a variable is always 0 if not set. And in the scripted loc try FROM.culture , I think its a scoping issue

[raven hedge]

wait

wdym

so I change culture with FROM.culture?

[FROM.culture] you say?

[ripe perch]

check_variable = { FROM.culture = 1 }

a variable is always related to a scope, we need to check state scope, not country scope

[raven hedge]

Ok

@ripe perch That didn't work too

defined_text = {

    name = culture_loc
    
    text = {

    }

}

[ripe perch]

does this.getname show the state name?

[thorny shoal]

Scratch that, the icons in my custom folder now look like this, do you guys know why that might be?

*countrytechtreeview file

[raven hedge]

It does

[ripe perch]

try text = "Culture -> [?culture] [culture_loc]" it should show the variable, just to see if it works

[raven hedge]

It says 0

@ripe perch

It says culture name as 0

[ripe perch]

ok, select the state ingame, open the console and type list_vars

[raven hedge]

alr

[glass acorn]

Do y'all know how to make it so that a country can't release certain countries/states until a certain thing is done?

[raven hedge]

@ripe perch

[ripe perch]

looks like set variable is not working correct in the state file

[raven hedge]

Yeah I guess

I'm sending it again

state={
    id=344
    name="STATE_344"
    manpower = 1081781
    
    state_category = town

    history={
        owner = TUR
        victory_points = {
            7620 10
        }
        victory_points = {
            6813 3
        }
        buildings = {
            infrastructure = 2
            industrial_complex = 1
        }
        set_variable = {
            name = culture
            value = 1

        add_core_of = TUR
    }

    provinces={
        3889 6813 7620 9912 
    }

    local_supplies=0.0 
}

[ripe perch]

try the short version of setting the variable set_variable = { culture = 1 }, other states use the short version too

[raven hedge]

alr

Shall I restart the game

[ripe perch]

yes

check state 835-Haraghe.txt, there are varibles in the history file

so this should work

[raven hedge]

this one worked

thanks

One more thing

How do you colorize your texts?

[ripe perch]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation#Colouring_characters

[raven hedge]

@ripe perch

I have seen it but

Is there anymore colors more than that?

[glass acorn]

You can make your own

[glass acorn]

Also anyone got an answer to this?

[ripe perch]

New text colours can be added by expanding the textcolors = { ... } array in /Hearts of Iron IV/interface/core.gfx.

[raven hedge]

oh nice

Thank you

[pale sparrow]

scripted_triggers/00_diplo_triggers

IIRC its in there

[ripe perch]

you are right, its DIPLOMACY_RELEASE_NATION_ENABLE_TRIGGER

[vernal meadow]

are there any HOI4 HL2 or HL1 mods in the steam workshop?

[glass acorn]

Mmkay I’ll try later, thx

[raven hedge]

@ripe perch

A question,It seems thast

that*

You can define font colors with one character only,which makes it very hard to define new font colors

Since there is already setup fonts

like what I mean

    textcolors = {
    
        C = { 35 206 255 }  # Cyan
        L = { 195 176 145 } # Lilac
        W = { 255 255 255 } # White
        B = { 0 0 255 }     # Blue
        G = { 0 159 3 }     # Green
        R = { 255 50 50 }   # Red
        b = { 0 0 0 }       # Black
        g = { 176 176 176 } # Grey
        Y = { 255 189 0 }   # Yellow
        H = { 255 189 0 }   # Header
        T = { 255 255 255 } # Title
        O = { 255 112 25 }  # Orange

Could you help me on this?

Again,If possible

[glass acorn]

I believe there was one, but I'm pretty sure it's either unfinished or discontinued

[glass acorn]

Having the same issue, it'd be nice to find a way to make them small icons

[ripe perch]

26 letters, upper and lower case plus 10 number --> max 62 colors, 25 are predefined, so you can add 37 custom colors

[raven hedge]

ok

[thorny shoal]

Has anyone found a solution for the stretched icons in custom folders?

I've been stuck on this for a day

[ripe perch]

do you have a small background defined?

[thorny shoal]

what do you mean?

[thorny shoal]

.

Here's my code

That's the thing, I have the same issue and I have a small item implemented for it

I have this problem where i make a focus but it just doesnt show up. I even tried to copy already working focus and change some essential things but it doesnt work too... Maybe a problem in syntax or did I reach some kind of limit? And yes i know there is no completion reward but i even tries to just simply put there add political power but still it didnt work. Any help appreciated.

Tag me if you want to answer this request i have

[pseudo python]

Hi, which files should I be editing if I want to create a mod that changes AI division templates?

[glass acorn]

@ocean elk Relative position ID shouldn't have { }

[glass acorn]

ai_templates for the actual designs they should make, and history > units for the starting spawns

Though note if you want to change starting spawns, you also have to make sure that the OOB is set in the country's history file

[reef maple]

Well I’d like to make a mod but I need people to help coding

Are Defense and Defence interchangeable in hoi4's unit code?

[burnt aurora]

I may be wrong, but isnt it written "horthy" and not "horty"

I might be talking about aomething else tho

[pale sparrow]

Dont think

[sour temple]

I ask since in a working bit of code I see that unit type buffs seem to use Defense while unit terrain buffs use Defence

[ocean elk]

Thats just a name issue which i would eventually fix.

But yes its horthy

[warm crypt]

Yes I'm Ukrainian.

[obtuse condor]

[obtuse condor]

Alr alr thanks

[ivory scaffold]

you can play the game without mods and everything will be fine

dont listen to the guy above

[obtuse condor]

Ah okay okay, i thought mods were needed since everyone was talking about them

[ivory scaffold]

nah, the game is fine by itself

you can always change the game with mods if you really dislike something

although if you are new then i suggest just playing without mods for now

[signal gorge]

You should, I think it's perfect! 👏

how do i insert my custom sub ideology, and ideology icons into the game?

[reef maple]

Second option yeah

[bronze carbon]

how do i put it in the gameplay

[ripe perch]

do you want to mod templates?

[stiff nebula]

Oh sorry I didn't mean to post this here just ignore

[ripe perch]

you need to create a playset and add the mods you want to activate to this playset

[clear moat]

Guys, help me fix the anarchy.

otherwise, when the main menu appears, the game crashes.

[ripe perch]

"incorrect checksum for DLC", you should verify your game files, maybe you edited on original file and not the mod file

[clear moat]

It has nothing to do with the mod.

The problem is that you don't want to have an anarchy interface in the country

[edgy pike]

if i have a mod im making and i want to "disable" one section of it (for now, rather not delete it incase i wanna use it in the future) can i do so some other way then jsut spamming # at every line for that section?

[pale sparrow]

If you have a good text editor you can do ctrl+/ do comment out entire sections

[edgy pike]

what is a good text editor? can notepad++ do this or no?

[pale sparrow]

Not sure, I had technical issues with Notepad++, I use it pretty often in VS Code

Anyone have a solution to fixing these icons? Me and another guy are having problems with them

We made new folders and proper interface script, yet they refuse to be small icons

[torpid orbit]

does anyone know how to change the font of the nations names?

[true violet]

Hi guys its me again!
I wanted to ask how to do this Modify "Idea" in a focus (Image as example)

[pseudo python]

when loading a mod does it change the unit model files in the main gfx folder?

[glass acorn]

If two ideas have the same localisation, then it'd do that. If you want it to be via a dynamic modifier, you need to code the tooltip yourself

[true violet]

ah

didnt understand anything but sounds complicated

👍

[glass acorn]

So to kinda dumb it down

IDEA_1:0 "Cool Idea name"
IDEA_1_desc:0 "Cool Idea description"

IDEA_2:0 "Cool Idea name"
IDEA_2_desc:0 "Cool Idea description"

Instead of the game reading these as swapping an idea, because they have the same name and description, they are considered connected

And thus it'd look like it modified the effects instead of swapping ideas

[signal gorge]

I made my first simple mod, and it's going better than I thought

I'm shocked, but in good way

are all your mods updated for 1.16 ?

[red raptor]

All the mods that I use are all updated also I didn't see any orange or red triangles either I just redownloaded the whole game as well as verifying the game files and I have all dlcs as well I even deleted the files related to the game in the documents as well I even tried it without mods as well same issue

[foggy depot]

help pls

[merry burrow]

guys out of these mods which are newbie friendly?

TNO, TWR, KR, KX, Great War Redux, Führerreich/redux, Across the Dnipro, Red Dusk, OWB, TFR

I probably shouldn't bring up TNO cuz that's obviously not friendly to newbies

[glass acorn]

If I had to guess, prob Across the Dnieper, alot of the major mods have complex mechanics for "Spice"

And ATD is prob the most vanilla-like

[glass acorn]

Also once again asking, how do you fix this to be small icons

What do you guys think abt this peak mod

[wanton reef]

Hi guys i have a question why does my game run on 20fps max time low setting and no vsync i tried with vsync too but it just doesnt work and i have a 3060ti and a ryzen 7 5800x and 32gb ddr4 ram and a fast ssd my old pc ran it better that had 1060 6gb and some old intel processor and 16 gb of ddr3 ram the mod im using is millenium dawn.Also i tried literally everything changed the graphics to lower the game ran the same changed the display it ran the same so idk why.

[lapis current]

You need a CPU that has the highest GHz specifically (and RAM MHz, IPC, as well as cache size also matter, but much less so). Basically you can have a high end CPU and get less FPS than with a low end CPU literally just because of poor optimisation. Your graphics card does not change anything unless it's made like pre 2015, and even then I'm pretty sure integrated graphics (most CPUs have this) work fine.

[wanton reef]

So what do i need to to get better fps use my old pc still or what?

[lapis current]

Basically

And there is optimisation mods

but those likely won't do much

[wanton reef]

so im basically cooked after buying a new pc?

[lapis current]

You can get overclocking software

and that will probably fix most FPS problems

but that can be risky depending on your cooling

[wanton reef]

i have no fps problem in other games and im already oc-d

i have an artic liquid cooler and like 8 fans

[lapis current]

oof

did you do ram oc?

[wanton reef]

i just enabled xmp

[lapis current]

probably good enough

but yeah

basically cooked then

idk

[wanton reef]

idk why tho this game can be even runned on a school pc since its optimized

[hidden jungle]

install fps map mod

[lapis current]

does that change anyhting CPU wise tho?

[hidden jungle]

or lower game resolution

i mean

texture quality

[wanton reef]

that doesnt work i tried it but runs everything other than millenium dawn

[lapis current]

thats GPU tho

[lapis current]

unoptimisation kills complex mods like that

[hidden jungle]

millenium dawn causes nasa pcs to crash

[lapis current]

^^^

[hidden jungle]

7.6k results for "crash"

in the md server

lmao

[pale sparrow]

Looking at IPC or GHz is stupid when you can just get a benchmark

[wanton reef]

Yeah ik but my old pc ran it fine with a 1060 and a i5 2500k

[pale sparrow]

Especially GHz because its not comparable across CPUs

[hidden jungle]

i have a 1030 and it runs but pretty slow

[wanton reef]

My benchmark was fine i used user benchmark and all of my pc specs performed like one of the best out of those same specs since i oc-d some of them

[pale sparrow]

Userbenchmark is garbage

although...

the thing for people with the same spec isnt too bad

[lapis current]

my processor

yippee

i win everything

103% of things i win

Have you OCed it

Get a stronger pc

Thats literally the only way

it always happens when I speed up the game for some reason too

[crystal sand]

What are you're specs

[burnt rune]

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.3 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

[crystal sand]

you can remove the device and product id

Hmmm

The game shoul open just fine with those specs

[burnt rune]

yeah it can open, it's just after a while if I speed up the game to max it crashes

[crystal sand]

Clear the games cache, disable all mods

and try from there

[burnt rune]

Okay

[stiff forge]

Say that again?

[burnt rune]

If it doesn't work I'll probbaly have to be forced to play at lower game speeds with the mod

[strong marten]

Is there a mod that allows you to add your own flag?

[pale sparrow]

theres this
https://github.com/PlayerHOI/Iron-Workshop-Flag-Creator

idk exactly what you mean, but this would make making a flag mod much easier

[sly heron]

So I can't just use Gimp to make a image and then export it as a TGA?

[pale sparrow]

The tool is easier since you need 3 GFX file sizes

[sly heron]

Does 3 GFX relate to the error log I got stating something about 32bpp

[12:18:53][1936.01.01.12][flagtextureatlas.cpp:203]: Error loading country flag overlay: gfx/flags/medium/MFC.tga : Unsupported format. Expected 32bpp, uncompressed, no color palette

[pale sparrow]

no, thats because you used the wrong settings when saving the file

[sly heron]

Well shucks, I didn't really get a setting, and it seems to have worked fine for both the custom leader portrait I made and the Continue flag.
Would copying and pasting one of the pre-existing country flags and then painting and renaming it work?

[pale sparrow]

Should work yeh

[sly heron]

Guess it is worth a shot, thanks.

[sly heron]

And it didn't work. Guess I'll need to give that Flag-Creator tool a try.

[dull pelican]

Help me, please! In nudge mode, nothing happens when trying to open a region file. On the forum saw a thread on this topic, but no one found a solution. Maybe someone knows how to solve it?

[mental pecan]

anyone know of any cartel mods?

[bold scroll]

Does someone know a good tutorial for HOI4 modding? I’m planning to make something cursed and want pointers

[pale sparrow]

See pins

[twin crag]

Gang, if anyone that knows some Graphic Design is interested in volunteering in creating a logo for my mod, I would be appreciated.

[wise cradle]

How do you do that with the code ?

[ripe perch]

either you paste it before the variable is used or after the variable is modified

[wise cradle]

K thx

[thin rune]

A new collapsing world teaser dropped, what do you guys think?

[brazen jolt]

long ass name for germany

Wouldnt Deutsches Volkstaat work just as well?

Or just the German Peoples State in english

[thin rune]

volksarmee is the name of the armed forces which are led by speidel after eliminating goering

so no

and germany is basically a socialist-reactionist military junta

thats why "volksarmee" in its name is important

[brazen jolt]

You could still 100% shorten it

[thin rune]

maybe get rid of Reaktionärer ?

[brazen jolt]

Something like that

[slender lichen]

Is there a millennium dawn 2025 mod?

[thin rune]

the fire rises ig

[open obsidian]

how does it work and do I need to download anything?

[pale sparrow]

Scroll up

[slender lichen]

Is there a mod for missiles?

[slender lichen]

Thank you, brother, its what i want

[thin rune]

That mod is really complex and fun, you definitely should try communist russia

[slender lichen]

Are there many languages?

Because my language is not available and I do not understand English very much

[austere wyvern]

As a German that name doesn't sound right

[dreamy dock]

Sorry to interrupt, but anyone know if there is a Transformers mod on hoi4?

[austere wyvern]

If you really want smth more than the standard with more detail I'd say Deutschrevolutionäre Militärregierung and even that's pushing it

[spare vessel]

Does anyone have any resources/tutorials on how PDX makes their unit textures for Infantry specifically?

[thin rune]

Idk really

[thin rune]

Thats literally the name of the east german forces

[austere wyvern]

Yeah but not the name of a state

[thin rune]

Its there to like symbolize the control of the army, but it could be changed 🤔

[austere wyvern]

I get that but it's not like the DDR called itself Sowjetbesetzte Deutsche Volksrepublik-Parteistaat or smth equally cooked like that

[median ember]

question

I some help me with this:

state = {
id = 1017
name = "STATE_1017"
manpower = 667762
resources = {
steel = 5
}

state_category = city

history = {
    owner = GER
    add_core_of = GER
    add_core_of = PRE
    add_core_of = RHI

    victory_points = {
        6469 10 # Essen
    }

    buildings = {
        infrastructure = 2
        arms_factory = 1
        industrial_complex = 2 
        air_base = 0
    }
}
provinces = {
3512 6469 6570 9482 529
}

local_supplies = 0.0 

}

I can't tell what wrong is say there no provinces in the state

[pale sparrow]

The formatting seems correct

[wise cradle]

i didn't cheak the difintion file

[covert mirage]

guys how do make it so, when a timer decision is completed, there is a 80% chance i get 0.2 stability, and a 20% i get 0.1 war support

?

[wise cradle]

i think it has somthing to do with the definitions because i did it manually

[pale sparrow]

[covert mirage]

[pale sparrow]

Seems like the provinces block is falling inside the history block

[wise cradle]

yeah but i pretty sure it isn't

unless i missed somthing

and if i move it anywhere else its still chashes

I gonna do States another day

[hexed bridge]

hmmm

anyone got any good mod tutorials

[ripe perch]

check pinned messages

[sleek plume]

hey is there any like hoi4 mods that includes the black army from russia?

[midnight sail]

How do you add text to decision categories?

[pale sparrow]

same as with focuses, you add _desc behind the token for its description

[sleek plume]

ngl I tried to try "The fire rises"

Too complex 😭😭

Like legit I KNOW the mod is fire but I know that if i try it I'm not gonna be able to understand it

[sleek plume]

im gonna try millenial dawn

also like any mods you guys reccomend?

[sweet musk]

Hey does anyone know any mod that enhances china and the whole clique thing?

[sweet musk]

Hmmm depends what youre looking for

Kaiserredux is fun

Its full of "funny" content

[sweet musk]

I see it as millenial dawn but schizo

Also it has focuses for only 5 or 6 countries

[sleek plume]

I heard there was gonna be anarchist content?

[sleek plume]

Yeah

[sweet musk]

Bleh bleh bleh its a larp

[sleek plume]

I tried ukraine cause I wanted to see if they had any black army content

There wasnt even a focus tree

[sweet musk]

Millenial dawn is boring imo

[sweet musk]

I tried same with serbia and was surprised to see it having no focus tree

[sleek plume]

Like I dont like majors

[sweet musk]

So in order to do something you depend on what russia does which is b

bs*

[sleek plume]

Because like

I dont think i can manage a big country

[sweet musk]

They are fun depends wich major you play and what do you play

If you play modded depends on mod

But USA in vanilla is boring as hell

Waiting till late 41 to join WW2

Just to obliterate everything

Not very fun

(In sp ofc)

[sleek plume]

I main Spain in vanilla (not a major)

I mean I could try soviet union?

Like is there a mod that like

Includes black army?

Like I wanna play the makhnovists🙏🙏🙏

[sweet musk]

Uhhh Idk

[sleek plume]

Like any anarchist content?

[thin rune]

I also felt like that when I played it for the first two times

Millenium Dawn is WAY more conplex, as there is an advanced economy system and even a satellite mechanic

The only hard thing about TFR is creating a good template, but you can easily find a good one on reddit

[thin rune]

Collapsing World RoR, but the black army content is really unpolished and just not good

[stiff ruin]

this is supposed to make Northern ireland owned by ireland. i placed it in my mod folder, history, states. so why doesnt the game recognise it?

[hexed bridge]

anyone got any mod ideas

[cursive tusk]

some china mod maybe?

[hexed bridge]

hmm

how about a mod that drastically changes the world

like the hit mod

tno!

[cursive tusk]

i know! What about mod about Unthinkable Operation (Allies attack the Soviets)?

[hexed bridge]

hmmm

[cursive tusk]

i didint saw it anywhere

or you could do mod about seven years war

it was very important war and reshaped history

[mild siren]

using the nudge tool on linux really does suck

sigh

if anyone wants to waste some time i would love for you to help with creating custom provinces and states

nevermind im forcing my friend to do it >:)

[wise cradle]

What was the error

@pastel isle yo you have made a super event can you show or atlest point me in the direction to make a superw event.

[midnight sail]

that doesnt work

im talking about decision categories

not decisions

[pale sparrow]

same thing for categories

[hexed bridge]

how do i work on a mod with my friend

[midnight sail]

literally doesnt work though

[stiff ruin]

How ambitious are you?

[hexed bridge]

tno ambitous!

basically

very

@stiff ruin

[midnight sail]

rome wasnt built in a day

[hexed bridge]

yes it was

rome told me

[stiff ruin]

This is probably a little to close to 1984 revolutions, but imagine if an interdimensional empire conquered earth and established organisatkonal zones. After 60 years virtually all history has been erased, but suddenly the pottals to the other parts of the empire shuts down... now the administrative zones have no memory of the past and no idea what is going on.

Basicslly the entire world turns into a bunch of chinese warlords wanting to either make a functional government or carve out their own empire, with a couple of officials who wish to bring back the empire (though that should only be one path)

The zones are based on population, languages, and resources, and are more or less industrialized. Still, the idea of culture basically has to be reinvented (not just supported like 1984)

Of course the old portals will serve as special buildings giving pp and war support

[hexed bridge]

hmmmm

good idea!

[stiff ruin]

Finally it takes place in like 2010, populationwise, but the countriws have not been allowed to industrialize past the 30s (normal technology, hugher population, mostly for the african countries so they actually are relevant)

Every zone needs at least 12 million population, and must be under 200 million

[hexed bridge]

hmm

so a bit like half life

[stiff ruin]

Not too familiar with half life...

[hexed bridge]

basically

these alien fellas

they invade earth

and a lotta people die

then these other alien fellas

they take the americas

[stiff ruin]

Well, in my idea the empire just disappears (it lost a war when the emperor was killed, and they just shut down all portals so the winning side wouldnt be able to take controll over them, mostly out of spite than any hope of returning)

The empire took the entire world

The biggest problem with this mod is all the research you have to do about language and resource distribution, what language which are understandable by others, what regions have what resources. I would actually say resources and population ammount is the only thing which actually matters, but that would just create a couple of huge countries with no reason to collapse

My own lore for this is that there were 3 higher levels of government,
1: the world... literally just the entire planet.
2: resource regions... just what it sounds like, huge regions.
3: semi self governing... this is where language comes in

how do i add localization for custom characters?

[frosty oasis]

i really quite want to play tno oand have been unablkel too

[past flax]

Ok lemme help u

Just go to ur hoi4 files

Click on the mod folder

There should be a folder with tno

Click that folder and check if their is a descriptor file

If there isn’t than open notepad and make one. Save it to the TNO folder as TNO.mod. Make sure the file path is the same name as the folder where the tno files are

And if worse comes to worse just go to paradox mods and find it there.

[mild siren]

ARGHHH why wont my leader show up

for my custom country

im going back to the iron workshop the new hoi4 tutorials suck

awesome its literally IMPOSSIBLE for me to make my own custom leader

yeah yeah thats lovely

[mild siren]

yeeesss

muewheehhe

[mild siren]

if my leader still not working im gen gonna cry 😭

im loading in rn

okay thats it

brb crying

i even followed the iron workshop to the TEE

but nothing working

i hate this game

[fading pollen]

i followed the most recent paradox vids for mine

there are a lot of fail steps for image to appear

[mild siren]

they were confusing for me

[fading pollen]

so did you make a new char or change one that exists

[mild siren]

can we hop in vc or something and you just tell me the obvious thing i missed xD

[mild siren]

new char

[fading pollen]

so you gotta make the new char AND make sure they are the current leader

to see them

[mild siren]

yes

yes

create_country_leader = { name = "Romolus" desc = "" picture = "romolus.tga"" ideology = despotism traits = { # } }

[fading pollen]

and you recruited them in the countries history file too?

[mild siren]

oh my god.

im so stupid

how do i do this ☹️

[fading pollen]

ur not, there is just a LOT of stuff spread out haha

[mild siren]

ive never done that

[fading pollen]

just add a line in there like this

[mild siren]

`capital = 876

Starting tech

set_technology = {
infantry_weapons = 1
tech_support = 1
tech_trucks = 1
tech_recon = 1
}

recruit_character = romolus

set_convoys = 5

set_politics = {
ruling_party = neutrality
last_election = "1933.3.5"
election_frequency = 48
elections_allowed = no
}

set_popularities = {
neutrality = 90
fascism = 10
}

create_country_leader = {
name = "Romolus"
desc = ""
picture = "romolus.tga""
ideology = despotism
traits = {
#
}
}
`

so just like this?

since my name for the character is just
name = romolus

wait

ive had

[fading pollen]

if that is their technical tag you gave them

[mild siren]

spriteType = { name = "GFX_portrait_RMR_romolus" texturefile = "gfx/leaders/romolus.tga"

in the interface

but shouldnt it be

spriteType = { name = "romolus" texturefile = "gfx/leaders/romolus.tga"

?

[mild siren]

i dunno 😭

how do i check?

[fading pollen]

this is my interface file

[fading pollen]

so like for my chars i made sure to retain the format of:

SIA_charname

helps remember a bit what things are what

[mild siren]

do i do it like this?

or remove the GFX_portrait too

just have romolus there

?

[mild siren]

alright ill do so

[fading pollen]

well you define the name of the GFX file

[mild siren]

and since its just romolus

just put romolus

god i cant wait to finally be done with this and start the fun part of modding

[fading pollen]

lol yeah this is the most spread out thing ive done so far too

[mild siren]

i swear it was easier like a while back 😭

i do NOT remember struggling this much adding leaders

[fading pollen]

and are you making a new nation or using an existing tag?

[mild siren]

new nation

[fading pollen]

okay, should help with your char showing up at start then

[mild siren]

question how does you character txt file look like?

[fading pollen]

this one?

[mild siren]

is it this?

[fading pollen]

I have it so that my chars get added as leaders via focus

[mild siren]

okay this looks very different than mine lmao ill style mine after yours

[fading pollen]

im working under SIA tag

is RMR your country tag?

[mild siren]

yep

[mild siren]

alright alright

i asked ai for mine no wonder its weird like this

i just kinda gave up cuz its 4am and just wanted SOMETING

[fading pollen]

when is your mod set, guessing like formation of rome?

[mild siren]

753BC

founding of rome

i want to add different bookmarks at some point too

[fading pollen]

nice

[mild siren]

so you can go trough like the history of rome :D

[fading pollen]

that's really cool

[mild siren]

ive always wanted a rome mod for hoi4

[fading pollen]

yeah ive been playing a lot of italy cuz i like rome

[mild siren]

and since playing imperator rome my motivation has been going up again

[mild siren]

same

rome is so cool

look how small rome is for now :p

[fading pollen]

oh yeah you are going to do just europe right?

[mild siren]

yeah its just europe map

[fading pollen]

or like Mediterranean

[mild siren]

waiut i can

this is the full map

there was also this earlier

idk if you saw xD

[fading pollen]

oh yeah I remember seeing your posts before

so is this map like more detailed with states / provs?

[mild siren]

oh yeah

(ive just stolen the Magna Europa map :3)

i removed the microstates and added rome for now

ill slowly work on removing all the countries

[fading pollen]

oh okay neat, ive not seen that map before

[mild siren]

its great mod

and map

and they allow for free usage in own mod :p

[fading pollen]

nice

[mild siren]

alright

i think ive got my leader right

lets see

@fading pollen im going to cry

i give up

i dont know what im doing wrong still

[hexed bridge]

how do i like

work on mods with my friend

[mild siren]

github

[fading pollen]

did you make sure your leader has the right ideology?

this is how my focus makes my person in the same ideology as the one that is default get swapped

[hexed bridge]

is there a more less effort way

[mild siren]

characters = { name = "romolus" portraits = { civillian = romolus } country_leader={ ideology = despotism expire = "1956.1.1" id = -1 } }

this is all i have in my ~/common/characters/RMR.txt file

[mild siren]

i dont think so, soz

[fading pollen]

i see the issue i think

there is no char tag there

[mild siren]

oh

i thought the name was the tag
