ohhh okay

#

let me try

hexed bridge
#

ok

#

how do i use the github way then

fading pollen
#

you gotta watch some vids on setting that up

mild siren
#

i hate github

hexed bridge
#

crazy

mild siren
#

it sucks but theres no alternative

#

🤷‍♀️

mild siren
#

i also had some wrong things in my history file

#

btw in the localisation it can be in its own .yml file right?

fading pollen
#

mine is " Transsiam_characters_l_english.yml "

mild siren
#

I MEAN THIS IS PROGREESS

#

BUT WHY IS IT A 😭

#

A

#

YK???

#

😭

#

LMAO

#

HELP

fading pollen
#

okay

#

so its working but the image is not getting pulled then

mild siren
#

mhm mhm

fading pollen
#

i had this before too

mild siren
#

o

fading pollen
#

go check ummm

mild siren
#

:o

#

i check!

#

🤔

fading pollen
#

your interface file

mild siren
#

interface!

#

oki

#

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

#

i changed the format to how you did

fading pollen
#

is that the full path for the image?

#

like mine has the country tag before the image

#

check where your image is real quick

mild siren
#

I FORGOT THE RMR

fading pollen
#

the path might need to be:

"gfx/leaders/RMR/GFX_portrait_Romolus.tga"

#

yeahh

#

try that

mild siren
#

im somewhat getting excited now 👁️ 👁️

mild siren
#

still nope

#

🤔

#

hm

#

wait

#

i did

#

the

fading pollen
#

AHH go back to characters file in common

mild siren
#

path wrong

#

i think

#

wait 😭

fading pollen
#

need to update the path there too

#

maybe...

#

mmmmmmm

mild siren
#

instead of texturefile = "RMR/gfx/leaders/GFX_portrait_Romolus.tga"

shouldnt it be texturefile = "gfx/leaders/RMR/GFX_portrait_Romolus.tga"

#

yeah i just messed it up

mild siren
#

wait there isnt even a path there lol

#

just this

#

which is correct

fading pollen
#

yeah it just need to match what you named it as

mild siren
#

aight aight

#

let me try now again

#

i just wish it didnt need so long to load

#

it gets stuck on "creating flags" for like a minute 😭

#

cuz magna europa adds like 400 country tags each with 3 unique flags

fading pollen
#

omg before i learned about debug mode i was reloading each time when i would change like one thing in my focus tree 💀

mild siren
#

you can just go in console and type reload focus

fading pollen
#

yeah but it just auto does it if you start the game iwth the "- debug"

#

though i have to remember to turn that off when i play normally

mild siren
#

okay now its getting a bit silly

#

🤔

#

now im proper confused

#

what could the error be

fading pollen
#

check your actual image file name again?

mild siren
#

GFX_portrait_Romolus.tga

#

exactly how it is in characters

fading pollen
#

and just make sure the name and path match inside the interface

#

hmmmm

mild siren
#

this should be correct too

fading pollen
#

drop the .tga

mild siren
#

oh okay

#

i think that was actually it

#

other things

#

dont have the .tga

#

and they doint have the ""

fading pollen
#

that part takes the thing you set as "name"

mild siren
#

wdym?

fading pollen
#

the only part with the .tga is the path you set in the interface file

mild siren
#

okay okay

mild siren
fading pollen
mild siren
#

picture = "GFX_portrait_Romolus"

#

from history/countries

fading pollen
#

i didnt create my country leaders like that so idk

mild siren
#

oh

#

did you do it different?

fading pollen
#

i just have them recruited in there, and then defined in the common/characters file, and then can promote them with country leader later, but you can do country leader role in that file too

mild siren
#

woah

#

so like via events?

#

you?

fading pollen
#

so this is like everything that siam has for the starting leader

#

history file just recruits them, then the leader portrait is defined, then in characters they are assigned the image and role as country leader

mild siren
#

OUUOOOUUOUOOUOUUUOOUOUou

#

IT WORKS

#

FINALLY

#

TEARS OF JOY

fading pollen

Complimenti!

mild siren
#

YAY

fading pollen
#

you are multilingual i take it then?

mild siren
#

mhm

#

you have to send me a friend request

fading pollen
#

okie

mild siren
#

BOOM

#

hell yeah

#

:p

mild siren
#

do you know how to add a custom bookmark? last time i did that the game kept crashing when one day passed

#

it always went to 23:00 then crashed

fading pollen
#

omg ive been trying to get it to work

#

idk how still

mild siren
#

ITS SO ANNOYING RIGHT?

fading pollen
#

i wanted to add my thing to the minors list so i dont have to scroll over to siam each time

mild siren
#

like ive been able to get everything except getting the crashes to stop

fading pollen
#

nope

mild siren
#

entire pc just crashed

#

🔥

fading pollen
#

oof

mild siren
#

but all good now

#

i think enough modding struggling

#

ill add advisors later or whatever

fading pollen
#

yeah im gonna do the rest of my chars last

mild siren
#

good choice xD

fading pollen
#

i have to do some more focuses and learn how to do the events for my expansion requests

mild siren
#

i followed the hoi4 guide thingy on yt

fading pollen
#

i think there are good examples though already in base game to ref so should be easy

#

So what is next for your mod?

mild siren
#

i want to add the different tribes surrounding the immediate vicinity of the palatine hill for now

#

and add decisions to start border conflicts

#

so you can annex the surrounding provinces and become a bit larger

#

and obviously start on my focus tree

fading pollen
mild siren
#

👀

#

oooooo

#

fun fun

#

ancient vapor
#

Yo

#

I have a question

#

How many "replace_path=" would be needed for my total conversion mod?

mild siren
#

making a balance of power is so frustrating!

mild siren
#

muewheh

#

the localization isnt localizing

ripe perch
mild siren
#

i followed the hoi4 modding guide

#

they did it just like me

midnight sail
#

its irrelevant

#

is it in utf-8 bom encoding?

stiff ruin
#

In theory you just make

Mod file-history-states-the file of the state you want copied from the original state folder. Just change the tag of "owner" and now that country owns it.

I think the errors are just from confused gamr, they sometimes disappear if i rewrite the entire bad section, or if i press "control s"

Remember to make a folder for tags were you add the tags for your new country

burnt rune
#

Does millennium of dawn crash if you don't play the correct version of hoi4 for if?

stiff ruin
#

this is the error i get from the game, someone explained it didnt shwo the rightone due to some issue with outlook.

#

this is what i find in the logs, completely irrelevant to the mod as nothing here is correct

#

the system log shows that the mod is active

unique skiff
#

Hello

#

How do I add resources to a province

#

For example:

  • adding rubber to the Congo
stiff ruin
# unique skiff Hello

step 1: make te mod

step 2: make folders: "modfolder"-history-states.

step 3: find the original state file in the game directory.

step 4: copy the wanted state file and put it in your states folder

step 5: edit the resources

unique skiff
#

Via the debug

stiff ruin
#

no idea

stiff ruin
#

but if i wanted to make northern ireland better i could just change the aluminium to be 200

unique skiff
#

I found this

stiff ruin
#

what is the website?

also if the website makes a mod folder or something, you should still be abel to make a history-states-"insert state file" and edit the resources.

the game refuses to aknowldge it

Did you change something else while you were trying?

mild siren
#

simplyowner = IRE
instead of owner = ENG in the state history file

#

lol

stiff ruin
#

that is what i did

#

wait is it IRA?

show the full thing

Ye

#

Maybe that is a problem

stiff ruin

i think the problem lies elsewhere, for no mod i have attempted to make has worked

i have to go now so if it doesnt work i dont know either

stiff ruin
ancient vapor
#

Not him but I think he added {{}} at the end

#

Dont trust me tho

glass acorn
# stiff ruin

You can't write code in Notepad, the game can't read basic text files, only UTF ones...

#

UTF-8 is generally the format needed

#

Also for VP's, it says "Victory_point(s)" but you can only have one per argument

#

So instead of:
victory_points = {
3379 5
385 1 # Londonderry
}
it should be

    victory_points = {
        3379 5
    }

    victory_points = {
        385 1 # Londonderry
    }

Hi, any Ideas why my technology doesn't have the research Button?

mild siren
#

how can i create a custom division template and how can i spawn a division using that template via focus?

#

@fading pollen JuiceCat

fading pollen
#

ive only spawned in railway guns so far, have not done units with divisions yet

#

i would check the focus trees that spawn militia units and work from there

#

like italy

mild siren
#

`division_template = {
name = "Roman Militia"
division_names_group = RMR_INF_01

regiments = {
    infantry = { x = 0 y = 0 }
    infantry = { x = 1 y = 0 }
    infantry = { x = 2 y = 0 }
}

support = {
    # 
}

}

units = {
division = {
name = "First Roman Milita Group"
location = 20009
division_template = "Roman Militia"
start_experience_factor = 0.8
start_equipment_factor = 1

}`
#

this looks about right

#

stupid console

twin crag
#

U have debug on?

mild siren
#

yh

twin crag
#

Damn

mild siren
#

i think i did sum wrong

#

completion_reward = { create_unit = { division_name = "First Roman Militia Group" division_template = "Roman Militia" start_experience_factor = 0.8 start_equipment_factor = 1 owner = RMR location = 20009 } }

fading pollen
#

What part is not working?

mild siren
#

wait

#

hold

#

let me

mild siren
#

also

#

there are no templates showing up

#

even tho i made one

#

i think its cuz no OOB was loaded

#

is this correct now?

#

ill just try

#

okay when i loaded in i had it there but as soon as the game started it deleted itself cuz no equipment i believe

#

okay

#

i somehow removed all the ideas

#

no laws exist 😭

#

so no manpwoer

#

hmm

#

i think i fixced

#

alright fixed it all except the unit not spawning with the focus

#

hell yeah custom division

Greetings. I am thinking of getting this game soon, and I have a question about mods. I intend to get both the 1984 and Millennial Dawn mods. Can they work together, or not? As in, can I use them both at the same time, or no?

Hello guys, how long does it take to create a huge mod? I really want to play as the Roman Empire during its golden age (with every other civilisation included in the game). But I haven’t found any mod that lets me play as the Roman Empire properly — I don’t like it when the Roman Empire is just thrown into the middle of WWII. So, I’m thinking of creating a mod myself. Still, I’m really worried that I might stop halfway through or not even manage to start it at all.

Does anyone has an idea of how many

yo does anyone know how to add custom unit types? i cant really find any good tutorials on it

mild siren
mild siren
ancient vapor
mild siren
#

anyways yeah does anyone know how to add custom unit reiments?

mild siren
ancient vapor
#

Anyways

#

A "replace_path =" basically changes the direction of a file for the game to find, for example
"Replace_path = common/countries" means that the game won't use the common/countries folder of the game, and use mine instead. Usually its used for total conversion mods

crisp stream
mild siren
#

its not out yet

#

and wont be for a while

#

since im alone

crisp stream
mild siren
#

do you know how to mod?

And do some researchers, I really like history

like flag design?

like sabines

but yes

thats the end goal

#

Looks great

#

So I can help you, right?

mild siren
#

sure

#

i sent you a dm

crisp stream
stiff ruin
ancient vapor
#

And I cant replace it manually because that's not how it works

stiff ruin
#

? this one? and i then assume if i were to do just this and add only one country to the mod, everyting else would be empty?

stiff ruin
#

could you show me what you did?

ancient vapor
#

Can't rn I'm on phone, what do you need?

stiff ruin
#

just curoious to see how it is implemented in practise. modding doesnt work for me for some reason, but i do have a desire to learn the theory

ancient vapor
#

Maybe that will help

stiff ruin
#

i have tried that, i think its a computer problem tbh

ancient vapor
#

What happens exactly?

stiff ruin
#

i make mod via launcher.

i make a history-states folder

i add northern ireland to the states folder (copied from the base game)

i chaneg ownership to Ireland.

nothing happens.

yes mod is launched (i checked the logs)

ancient vapor
#

Doesn't crash?

stiff ruin
#

no crash. just NI is still british

#

i have crash logs open, and they just say "path not found" or something like that

ancient vapor
#

Wait

#

THATS why you need "replace_path"

#

If you don't put that

#

The game just reads the normal files

#

Look

stiff ruin
#

are you serious?!? i heard that the game is just going to prioritize the mod!

ancient vapor
#

Just put "replace_path = [the folder you need to replace]"

#

Copy the game files

#

Except Ireland owns northern Ireland

stiff ruin
#

history or states folder?

ancient vapor
#

Has to specify so states

#

"replace_path = history/states" I think

stiff ruin
#

where?

ancient vapor
#

At line 8

#

Since you just have to replace 1 state owner

#

You copy the states folder

#

Paste it in your own history folder

#

Go to the state you want

#

And modify it

stiff ruin
#

i cannot test right now as i am still downloading my mods (i uninstalled the gaem ot of desperation)

but if it works i will... i am not really a violent person so probaly just makes frustrated/angry/happy sounds

ancient vapor
#

I think there isnt a tutorial for this kind of stuff, I learned it with chat GPT lol

stiff ruin
#

but its such an obvious thing

#

i have had people ask me if i have the mod turned on, but this is the first time someone suggests this

ancient vapor
#

I mean

#

Most of the time I would forget that too

#

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm stuck on my mod making infinite "replace_path =" for my total conversion mod

stiff ruin
#

what is it about?

ancient vapor
#

My mod?

#

Total conversion mod: Tales of Eeria.
Creating the map was a nightmare, but now I just have to get everything of the base game out to actually start the mod

#

(This is an old picture btw, the map is way more polished now, though I had to delete the lakes)

stiff ruin
#

what is the lore?

ancient vapor
#

Basically

#

Stickmen

#

Old war

ancient vapor
#

That's the story

#

The lore goes all the way back to like 3000 B.C.

stiff ruin
ancient vapor
stiff ruin
ancient vapor
#

I didn't play those types of games when flash existed

ancient vapor
#

Maybe?

stiff ruin
#

i heard stickmen and this is what my mind went to.

do you mena henry stickman?

ancient vapor
stiff ruin
#

ahhh, i see.is that map smaller than the base map?

stiff ruin
ancient vapor
#

Basically

#

There was a war like 30 years ago where Yellfith took some islands in the Relantic and destroyed Purshish economy

#

Now they went techno-fascist

#

And declared war

stiff ruin
ancient vapor
#

Or Russian

stiff ruin
#

not too familiar with either, though i get the jist of japanese

ancient vapor
#

Then after a few years Bulen gets involved

#

Then Redinford

#

Veronia

#

The equivalent of ww1

#

And that's the game, the first and fully planned one At least

#

Of course there's a lot more of lore and leaders and story

#

But thats it summarised

where would the sprites for general traits be stored?

stiff ruin
#

The mod folder i make is suppposed to be in
"Documents-paradox-hoi4-mod"
Right?

wise cradle
#

or you could go find your mod click the three little square and press open in file

stiff ruin
#

I have done both of these and still it doesnt work. Do i need outlook or something?

#

Becaude i am just stumped of how it doesnt work

#

Do i need all dlcs?

stiff ruin

You are in the #modding, make it your self

nor make maps

Look for tutorials

#

Or ask people Here

#

Plus is a Wolfestein map

#

You don't really have to modify much of the geography right?

ancient vapor
#

Ok then

#

You can probably make it and get help easily

The only help I got from when I was making my custom map was chatgpt

hi everyone! I am trying to make an Expansed Resources submod for The Great War Redux.

I have created a new mod and pasted the 'history/states' folders, modifying the resources in the txt for each state. However, it doesn't work, no matter where I put it in the launcher. The resources that it loads are the default ones.

I have tried to include in the descriptor.mod replace_path="history/states", but it doesn't work either. Is there anything else I should do, fundamentally, besides creating the mod and modifying the specific files?

Hello! Due to my inability to find any information on the internet, is there any "effect" to copy research progress from one country to another? Such as when you release a puppet in the vanilla game, or I believe, the tag switches in Kaiserreich. My country is not playable from the 1936 or 1939 start dates and therefore needs this.

#

Programed to require it to be owned by you

#

Could maybe make a mod to change that though, would have to look a bit more at that

vapid creek
fading pollen
#

And it would require you to go in and change the code for every formable… so prob not worth idk

vapid creek
#

Wish Africa had more formables tbh. Like North Africa. West Africa. Sub Saharan Africa and finally just Africa

vapid creek
ancient vapor
#

There's 2 countries in Africa

vapid creek
#

South Africa, Liberia, Congo, Ethiopia, Asa need respec on their name

#

And nah would make playing ethiopoa, congo or south africa fun

ancient vapor
#

Congo isn't in base game
Ethiopia dies after 1937
Liberia is just there
And South Africa does deserve content

vapid creek
#

Like if you can unite South America, should be able to do the same with Africa

vapid creek
ancient vapor
#

Tbf I wish Ethiopia had a focus tree

vapid creek
#

If you unite west Africa, it has comparable core pop to England/France

#

Africa in total has like 135 mil I think? Maybe more

ancient vapor
#

You dont have a nation that calls themselves "The lion of the tribe of Judah" and dont give them a focus tree

the flag loaded upside down???

pale sparrow
fading pollen
#

i have an image and then put into krita to export as the right sizes and file type... ig i just did not notice cuz all the other ones look the same upside down? idk

pale sparrow
#

The flag tool saves the files upside down to let the game flip them back around, I always wondered what setting could cause that

fading pollen
#

so i gotta make it upside down then first?

pale sparrow
#

Possible, or just use the flag tool

fading pollen
#

what is flag tool

Wiki:
If the origin point is set to top left rather than bottom left, the image will appear flipped upside down.

#

(stupid question) is there a mod that adds the amount of something that your are producing (Infantry equipment for example) that shows how many you are making in a year rather then a day? i know it would just be 365 times the amount perday im just curious. like, is that already a thing or am i just that lazy?

fading pollen
#

Is there a reason this is not making the decision only appear after you guarantee them?

I wanted it to stay hidden till you guaranteed them or maybe other conditions later on...

glass acorn
#

Or atleast that's my guess on it

fading pollen
#

AACK I think that might be it

#

Bahhh it still shows

#

It was because I didn't have an "allowed =" for the tag there

#

now it works
Still does not work, bruh

fading pollen
#

basically none of the triggers within decisions seem to be registering at all, but decision category ones work fine

You are gonna have some options to grant various identities rights and such. The trans part is more for the vibe, not trying to model anything idk

#

no idea what that will do still... but yeah

"folks in the workforce"

idk

about which part lol

Hello lads

#

I have a question about save files

#

Can I give any country a certain focus tree in a save file

#

e.g. I've made a chinese warlord have a civil war and then peaced them out with said civil war. Now the new country has the base focus tree instead of a warlord focus tree

#

Can I give them a war lord focus tree

vague zealot
#

so you're gona have to add that to the new nation that has peaced out

#

but you'll prob have to change the new nation's tag as it probably holds a temporary tag like D04, D08

#

However, I may be wrong, but during the German civil war, I believe that the fascist side get the normal historical focus tree and not a generic one

#

so you could take a look at that, and use it as a reference

ancient vapor
#

Plenty happened last night huh
