modding

[empty galleon]

Id just wanna make extra stuff in focus trees that could cause alternate history

Like revive stuff, do random stuff

Im unemployed

[inland falcon]

You know I tried the tutorial of modding today and realised I suck and I'm not gonna be able to mod so good luck

[empty galleon]

💔

[inland falcon]

Im still in school 😩

[empty galleon]

Same

But its summer break

So

[stiff ruin]

Is there an actual tutorial? All my attempts fail and im not sure why

[empty galleon]

There is a tutorial made by the hoi4 channel but its not perfect

[stiff ruin]

Ahh just the video, i thiight it would be more ibterractive

[twin crag]

The Iron Workshop

Do those

Of that channels

Even if they look ancient

They do work

[stiff ruin]

Is it sort of a modding event? How often?

[twin crag]

It is YouTube channels that does tutorials

[stiff ruin]

My current plan is that next time i have access to my computer, i will just ask here if anyone wants to join a vc and watch me make the mod and tell me what i am doing wrong

[twin crag]

Check that channel of the Iron Workshop

Very good tutorials

[forest bear]

same problem lol, also need help on making a state map from a mod

[ancient vapor]

Sounds cool

[ancient vapor]

What did you try exactly?

[lime lance]

kaiserreich

[ancient vapor]

How do you end up like this

[lime lance]

idk

they declared war on me

so uh not my problem

[nimble solar]

You are in a two front war

It kinda is

[lime lance]

yeah true

well yeah but i cant stop it

theyre the one that declared war

[nimble solar]

Now, do you schliffen or do you take out Russia first

[lime lance]

i might just do war of attrition

since i have allies and puppets

[lime lance]

i failed at taking petrograd so imma schliffen with the help of alsatian forts

ok nvm im saved the entente should declare war on the third internationale soon

The russian far east rebelled

nice

[nimble solar]

Russia gets massive buffs btw

[lime lance]

oh

rip me

[nimble solar]

You need to blunt them early so they lose then

So look at their spirits

See who they are attacking

Defend that country

[lime lance]

shit

[nimble solar]

If you dont, they will get bonuses for another reichspakt country

And the timer is reset

[lime lance]

i cant defend azerbaijan

they're landlocked

[nimble solar]

They got bonuses for azerbaijan?

[lime lance]

uhh ukraine

[nimble solar]

It's either the Baltics, Ukraine, or Belarus

[lime lance]

they're in the reichspakt

[lime lance]

oh ok

[nimble solar]

No they have an operation thing

[lime lance]

imma send some troops to ukraine

[nimble solar]

Operation Russianword

[lime lance]

oh

[nimble solar]

And they get like 15% attack and defense of that country

If you hold the line, they lose their buffs

[lime lance]

they have 10% attack on ukraine

ok

[nimble solar]

Okay, defend Ukraine

Hold Kiev until the last

[lime lance]

alr

france is cooked

[inland falcon]

The vids

[ancient vapor]

Where do you fail

Or start to fail?

[inland falcon]

The code lines randomly start showing that I'm making mistakes tho everything is right and I always get confused

[lime lance]

Problem is Ukraine and belgium are cooked

Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Georgia will be useful distractions

[vernal meadow]

any good mods?

[stiff ruin]

When i got into a similar situation, i simply held out by the river which goes through poland. I then just held on both fronts and made my army bigger, denied peace offers, untill i could push on pne front eith small 1 province ensirclements.

I cannot remember if i oished france or Russia first

[lime lance]

thx for the advice, I'll try to hold kyiv and if neccessary the oder as u did, and then just hold out the ardennes

belgium and ukraine might die soon

its fine every time america comes in the other side just dies and america is on my side lol (jokes aside portugal is pushing well into spain and italian states is pushing the socialists well so i think they'll get to france soon)

I'll hold Brussels and Kyiv somehow

[vernal meadow]

spain

[lime lance]

why

communist spain ig

just ur average non-historical spanish civil war

[high hatch]

It is normal unlock_national_focus don't apply the bypass_effect, or it is something else? Because the complete_national_focus is to apply the complete_rewards.

[fair mantle]

i havent played with mods yet, but i catn find the mods folder

should i just create one

[ripe perch]

just subscribe a steam mod, it will create the folders

[lament berry]

what are good mods?

[obsidian agate]

rt56 submod that adds ncr from fallout with its own very lore of 1940s america i need help coding

[ancient vapor]

Check the error log

[inland falcon]

They always say smth like ... was unexpected

[ancient vapor]

Paste it here

[empty galleon]

Im too lazy to learn how to mod -_-

[inland falcon]

What the problems read?

[ancient vapor]

Yes

[wind sigil]

can someone help me to install a mod plis?

[pale sparrow]

Ask away

[wind sigil]

look,i downloades old world blues from paradox site, i extracted the file after that i follow the steps but a file seems strange

dowloaded*

[pale sparrow]

Can you show a screenshot of the folder that looks off

[wind sigil]

of course

[wind sigil]

this folder here has an movie icon

im dumb?

[pale sparrow]

Thats normal

Windows assumes .mod is some sort of video file

[wind sigil]

i cant open it if it has a movie icon

[pale sparrow]

Right click the file, do open with>>

[wind sigil]

no way

[pale sparrow]

Select more option, then tick always use before selecting a good notepad app

[wind sigil]

ok ill try it

[wind sigil]

ar u too busy rn?

[pale sparrow]

Notepad works fine too ofc

[wind sigil]

[gentle stag]

Hello I'm new to modding but trying to make a usa focus mod. The game likes to crash when doing events related to the london naval treaty so I'm wondering if I'm missing a dependency or something. The spirit is there and I see the event but then it crashes on event popup

[dull crystal]

kinda late but i just found out the flag got deleted

damn censorship

[ancient vapor]

Check the error log

[lofty plaza]

Something up with the event most likely. Check the error log

[hasty forge]

Is millennium dawn still bugging?

[nimble solar]

When isn't it?

[hasty forge]

Is there an alternative?

[nimble solar]

There is one that ISP did a video on

[hasty forge]

What is it called

[royal quartz]

Interesting

It didnt.... Leave an error log?

[nimble solar]

It's ISorrowsproductions latest video

Novus Vexillium or something like that

[ancient vapor]

Huh

[royal quartz]

yeah idk

[ancient vapor]

No idea what to do about that

Check the version I guess?

[inland falcon]

Ill do it after i come home from school

[ancient vapor]

Don't expect me until...tomorrow? No idea what hour is on your country

[inland falcon]

7 am rn

Im gussing you're at 11pm?

[ancient vapor]

See ya

[inland falcon]

See ya

[ancient vapor]

Ye

[inland falcon]

Well then have a good sleep

[royal quartz]

It worked last time

All I did was remove the national focus folder

[vale bough]

is player lead peace conference mod cheating or improvment of life?

[toxic mason]

is great war redux supposed to be a load of bullshit for central powers

like i guess it’s historically accurate but like every week i get either strikes or famines and i cant keep my stability up and somehow france still has 2m manpower even though 2m of them have died

why is france at 66% stability even though they’re further to capitulation than any member of my faction and has 6x my casualties (i’m austria) but i have 32% stability and 32% war support

great i just got ANOTHER famine and there’s no way to fix it😐

[pale sparrow]

Cheating, but because the peace AI still has issues, its well-justified cheating

[desert pollen]

does somebody know why my ideology desc is not working?

[stiff ruin]

I would argue its improvement of life as long as you actually give deserved lands to allies

[stiff ruin]

You basically hav4 to win by 1917, because after that the british embargo will finally starve you out. But i wouldnt call it "bullshit" just realistic. I would actually say it is to some degree more well balanced than vanilla, but since equipment disappesr mixh quicker, and troops have different stats, its a little harder to get used to than vanilla.

[dark pumice]

i don't consider it cheating because the ai bordergore is disgusting

[sick torrent]

It would be fine if it didnt disable peacedeal ai entirely...

[pale sparrow]

that defeats the point

[alpine marlin]

Is Kaissereich the best mod? If so, what makes it so?

[ancient vapor]

When was the last time? Or did you have anything else inside the folder?

[ancient vapor]

Am back on track

[inland falcon]

that stuff

[fair mantle]

normal right

[ancient vapor]

Well that's hard to read

Something about portraits right?

[stiff ruin]

Its a good mod due to its well developed lore, interesting and balanced content, and fun mini games.

But i would argue EAW is a better mod as it has the same qualities, but is even more unique in the possible paths

[alpine marlin]

What's EAW? Also any thoughts on Road to '56?

[stiff ruin]

Road to 56 is in my opinion the best vanilla plus mod. I think every countri has a foucs tree including countries which are not even released om start date. It also has egypt as a playable nation which is pretty sweet.

For EAW go to the steam workshop and sort the mods by most popular of all time. I think its number 5.

[alpine marlin]

ima check that out, thank you

[stiff ruin]

My only complaints of rt56 is the lack of formable nations integrated into it. I think it would be the strawberry on top.

[alpine marlin]

oh yea, i also noticed how most major countries do not have focus trees that will actually surpass the contents of ww2 except us and soviet because of the cold war content, its kind of disappointing

[stiff ruin]

It is completely true, but i can forgive it a little as the only way to make good post war content would be to make the entire game much more scripted, which wouldnt work with all the extra paths

[proven sage]

anyone can help me how to code in completion_reward: if, with limit that checks if there is any mill within core states?

[austere wyvern]

future road demo germany will technically have infinite content

[pale sparrow]

any_core_state = {
  arms_factory > 0
}```

[kindred axle]

Just for curiosity, so taht i dont forget everything, if you put

1 ( state number) =
add =
arms_factory = 2

Is this the way to give mils to a determined state?

(didnt put the barracks mb 🙏 )

[pale sparrow]

    type = arms_factory
    level = 2
    instant_build = yes
}```

Almost always youd add building slots in the same reward block as well with a separate command

[kindred axle]

Dayum, i already forgot It was so detailed

[pale sparrow]

wiki is in pins as well

[fading pollen]

I’just copied the code from the generic focus tree and continued to modify it for different buildings

[midnight sail]

hey so is it possible to have a if block have two effects and not just one?

                else_if = {
                    limit = {
                        has_country_flag = USA_commonwealth_gui_tab_2_window_open
                    }

                    clr_country_flag = USA_commonwealth_gui_tab_2_window_open
                    set_country_flag = USA_commonwealth_gui_tab_3_window_open
                }

example

[wind sigil]

im having a blast taxing people

guys how do you add a submod?

[hasty forge]

when are they gonna fix millennium dawn

[nimble solar]

Never. It was also never a really good mod

Just play Novum Vexillum or however it is spelt

It is a less buggy version from what I can tell

[ancient vapor]

My problem with MD is that is not a Hoi4 mod

Is a horrible attempt at hoi5

Being unfunnily complicated

And if you say something about that

You are just angry because you are too dumb to understand it

[lime lance]

Update:I held Ukraine by the river that was the border of the initial R.K. Ukraine, lost Belgium and now im holding on the german-french border, Amsterdam fell, russia punched a hole through Belarus and everything is in a stalemate

Portugal is making great progress punching into Spain which is still recovering from their civil war, the Italian civil war is shifting against the Socialists rapidly

[sturdy zephyr]

can someone confirm if this is bugged or what

why do i have 0% base efficiency gain

[sturdy zephyr]

yeah thats exactly what i was referring to

god i hate this sm

[proven sage]

damn, thanks. i´ve wasted 1 hour just bc of this, but the other parts worked perfectly fine on first try, ig sometimes i get stupid 😄

[stiff ruin]

Are anyone interested in sitting in vc with me for 30 minutes, watch me attempt to mod, and tell me what i am doing wrong?

[proven sage]

depends on what you modding

[swift field]

i wanna mod in new concsription draft and mobilization laws to my hoi4 Multi mod

[stiff ruin]

i am litereally just trying to give northern ireland to Ireland, and i have no idea what is wrong,.

i have also tried to code an event, which didn't work either, which is why i think i have done something very fundamental wrong, and if someone watch the entire process and points it out, it will actually make me able to make functional mods, and therefore use trial and error for further ventures

[proven sage]

yeah, sure

[stiff ruin]

can you do it now?

just give me a quick minute

[stiff ruin]

does anyone know how to fix issue with HOI4 not reading the file mod, despite having right files, and the logs saying the mod is active

error reads "the system cannot find the path specified"

[proven sage]

got one extra idea, create a new mod, and while creating it, check directory. but probably not the solution

[ocean elk]

So my focus for some reason decided that today x position wont work. I have no idea why tho. can someone help? Any help appreciated

[proven sage]

relative position id is not supposed be bracketed

[ocean elk]

I always do that and it works. When i dont put the brackets there it doesnt work. I tried

[ancient vapor]

Don't worry dude it took me 3 days with complete and continuous advice to make the .mod file work

[vernal smelt]

if ever I get into HOI4 modding, i will make a 1980 mod about the collapse of the USSR (or saving it)

with the possibility of a warlord era post 1991

and dmitry yazov will be there too

[stiff ruin]

What happens in the rest of the world?

[obsidian grove]

Posted this one in hoi4 modding server. Posting it here too for exposure:

Yo guys
I need a little guidance on something
its about equipment icons
I checked ⁠modding-help and didnt get much from there
I was wondering if anyone is willing to guide a total clueless fool

[small gull]

Guys i know its kinda lame question but how can i change presidents photos?

[pale sparrow]

the path in your mod should match the path in vanilla

tetoteto being the mod name here

[obsidian grove]

So basically I was trying to stitch up a generic tanks and planes icons mod from Lamp's mod but just with generic icons

I put the dds files in the planes folder and put the respective names in the graphic_db

[vernal smelt]

USA couping everyone in south america and africa, china maybe attempting to occupy vladivostok, and return of fascism in germany

[obsidian grove]

but only a few of those icon showed up when I booted the game

[vernal smelt]

just my thought

[obsidian grove]

For example:

these are in the planes folder

while this is in the plane icons folder in graphic_db:

but when I booted the game, except a couple icons, the others did not show up

so yeah, can someone guide me what am I missing here?

At my wits' end because I know jack about modding or how it works. I just tried to replicate the pattern of other cosmetic mods that add equipment icons

like a monke see monke do thing

[small gull]

I cant open anything in here

[pale sparrow]

[lethal mortar]

hi, does anyone know if it's possible to add multiple counter tactics to one tactic?

[mild cedar]

Hey, all. New to the server and I've never made a mod before.

I'm playing a mod where there can be long periods of peace between wars. It's sorta bugging me that manpower never regenerates, as distinct from population growth. I get that when people are gone, they're gone, but I'd enjoy a mechanic to represent new people reaching service age.
In EU4, for instance, a province's manpower pool regenerates over about 10 years, IIRC.
Would it be easy, or even possible, to make some kind of event that silently fires every month, which gives countries some very small percentage of their national population in manpower, capped so as not to exceed Total Manpower?

(Preferably, I'd tweak it so to add diminishing returns as you approach Total Manpower, and maybe some other tweaks, but I'm not going to worry about that right now.)

First I searched around for existing mods, but can't find anything like this, which makes me suspect there's some subtle reason it can't, or shouldn't, exist.

I guess it just needs to read:
1: national population
2: total manpower (national population x conscription %)
3: all manpower currently in use
then plug them into some kind of formula... or some kind of horrible if/else tree to approximate one.

I figure this is either easy or completely impossible.

ie: each month, if [manpower available + in use] < [total manpower] then add [national population * 0.0008] or something

So simple I assume there's a simple reason nobody's done it!

[feral thicket]

I think it already exists in game
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/State#Population

[mild cedar]

You mean population growth?

Unless I'm mistaken (and maybe I am), that only represents how much the aggregate population is increasing.

So if you have 100 million people, and over some amount of time it grows to 101 million people, you'll gain another [1 million x conscription level] in manpower.

But while that's happening, the first 100 million people are still... turning over, right? The old ones dying, new ones being born, others reaching conscription age. Consider: If you had some hypothetical national spirit rendering population growth 0, everybody having exactly 2.1 kids etc, then going by the vanilla rules, you'd receive 0 new recruits across 5 or 10 or 20 years. But realistically, that population would still be generating new recruits. Does that make sense?

[feral thicket]

I guess I see what you mean
Having it fire as a monthly event though would lag the game to all hell. I think the current solution is an accurate enough representation of how the population would increase over time, though that percentage of increase should ideally differ between each nation and fluctuate over time. I think it the population growth was 0 in a hypothetical situation, that would simply mean that people are dying at the same rate as people are being born, so there wouldn't really be a change in the overall population if that makes sense

Manpower growth should absolutely be tied to population growth, though there are technically in-game ways to increase it in other ways (like Ideological Loyalty)

[mild cedar]

1: Right, the overall population would stay the same, but manpower lost through casualties would slowly recover, essentially because the dead/maimed people are "aging out" and replaced with different ones.

2: well, is there a less laggy way to do it? I'm new so an event was just the first thing to pop into my head...

Don't hospitals feed manpower into the pool without lagging? Is there something that could be done with that? 🤔

Alternatively, maybe I could have it fire once or twice a year and just accept intermittent horrible lag in the name of my grognardism.

[feral thicket]

Yeah but that's recovery rate, which I don't think is what you mean
Might be possible to do what you are thinking with dynamic modifiers?

[mild cedar]

I'll need to look into those

[feral thicket]

Or possibly an idea with the weekly manpower value set to a variable

Idk though my modding knowledge is a few years behind

[mild cedar]

I appreciate the help all the same :)

I assumed national ideas had to be static

[feral thicket]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Idea_modding

[mild cedar]

Diegetically, they're being replaced rather than recovering, but I'm willing to try whatever will input the integer I want...

[feral thicket]

You could have that idea be hidden and be a weekly manpower value that's a variable related to the total population

[mild cedar]

Interesting idea

No pun intended

[feral thicket]

Not sure how that would work in practice but might be worth a shot

[mild cedar]

If I can set the variable to "population * constant" then that solves the problem, otherwise it might have to keep running checks, which might lag again... IDK though

[feral thicket]

Oh wait doesn't the monthly population modifier do what you want

[mild cedar]

Uhh, what's that do?

[feral thicket]

Modifies monthly population gain in states

It's a country scope though

[mild cedar]

Recruitable population, or total population?

If it's the former then yeah that sounds like it could work

[feral thicket]

Ah it's just total nevermind

Best of luck figuring this out

[mild cedar]

Thanks

[feral thicket]

Still not entirely sure what you are trying to do and how it's different from what's in the game already but still

Does make me wanna consider modding for hoi4 again though

[ancient vapor]

3 days of pure suffering

Fixed with an S

Never forget it's "continents" not "continent" kids

[mild cedar]

D:

[mild cedar]

Well... in the name of trying to check to see if I'm misunderstanding something before I change anything...

Here's an extreme, hypothetical example: imagine a country with 100 million people and 0 population growth. The population just doesn't grow for whatever reason. They're having kids at the exact same rate they're dying. And its conscription rate is locked at 5% forever because it's a thought experiment.
It fights one war and loses 4.5 million people because its micro was trash, and has 500k left. Then it sits there in peace for 100 years. The clock runs up to 2038 or something.
Diegetically the 4.5 million dudes would've retired and died of natural causes, if they hadn't died in the war. The 500k remaining would've also retired and died. But if I understand the game rules right, at the end of 100 years, the country's total manpower (army + available) would still be only 500k. It'd never ever recover.

Have I got this wrong?

So that's an extreme example, but the same process would be happening, at a very slow rate, every month. It should slowly recover back to 5 million. (arguably 4.775)

[mild cedar]

Watching a video about using variables and it warns that variables are a quick way for mods to bloat the game and make it run slow, since it gets checked every day. So maybe adding one to every single country isn't the best plan.
Still, that's plan B until I can think of a plan A.

[sleek plume]

Hey is there a mod that has good anarchist content

Wait

Japanese anarchy?

[lime lance]

how do i modify to create a new country? e.g. hokkaido

[swift field]

i wanna add ranger units and templates

How do I fix this ? I tried uninstall and reinstalling the game and clear the cache. I also in vinillla

[keen venture]

Are you in debug mode

[wise cradle]

No

[stiff ruin]

Rise of radicalism seems to have at least two decent anarchist paths for germany... it also has for armenia, ukraine (not too developed sadly, but Machno) anf i think pne of the turkish states

And i am provably wrong, but america might have an ancap path (just guessing from memory)

[sleek plume]

I hate ancaps💔💔💔

[warped wing]

Do you play through steam, if so then verifying game files should fix this

I have had this problem in the past when localizing from Chinese.

You may also have a duplicate localization folder in your documents

[stiff ruin]

I agree, but i thought there might be some, so i had to adf them

All other are ancom i think, and the ancsp path might just be imagination

[ancient vapor]

The game reads all localization files, maybe (if you are making a mod) it got mixed with yours

[twin crag]

Why

[twin crag]

Just don't answer gang 😭 🥀

[tardy breach]

idk i wanna

[twin crag]

I used one when I first played the game

[tardy breach]

ok thanks

[twin crag]

It was op something but idk if it still works

[tardy breach]

oh

well

ill find one

[twin crag]

Try searching

[tardy breach]

bye gn

[twin crag]

Op

Maybe sum will pop up

[fading pollen]

I watched a YouTube video and in it they had a mod that announced certain things instead of just having a sound effect for it. Can you just replace those audio files or can you do more to have more voice lines when things happen, like “Units Deployed” “Naval Invasion Incoming” “Low Fuel Reserves” and such

[tame drum]

[ripe perch]

copy the two bookmark file names and create empty files in your mod

[dusky drum]

it loads but it wont show the bookmark instead it just goes straight into country selection

[ripe perch]

if you have only one bookmark it skips the selection screen

[dusky drum]

ahh okay, is there a way for it not to skip?

[ripe perch]

By default, having one bookmark in the loaded files skips the bookmark selection entirely. This can be circumvented by having two bookmarks, but hiding the second one from view. https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Bookmark_modding#User_interface

i wanna make and Add ALL of these REAL LIFE templates and units from this wiki page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_organization#Army

so we have more uses for MP

[junior berry]

is it possible to play HOI4 with mods on steam only?

[junior berry]

or would i need to buy HOI4 on the paradox launcher too?

[swift field]

yes you can

it costs 50 euros in the EU

idk how much in dollars

like to buy the base game HOI4

@junior berry

[pale sparrow]

Yes

[junior berry]

alr then, is it just subscribe?

[pale sparrow]

Yup

You can link your Steam to your PDX account to gain access to PDX mods, but thats totally unnecessary as theres more on the Steam workshop

[junior berry]

yeah, and then it should work?

[pale sparrow]

You can configure which mods you wanna use in the launcher

by default is enables every installed one IIRC

[junior berry]

in the paradox launcher?

[pale sparrow]

yeh

[swift field]

yes

[pale sparrow]

weird

[junior berry]

it says i dont have hoi4 there, which means i would have to buy it

[swift field]

but keep in mind if the MODS are too old they wont work

[pale sparrow]

Maybe reinstall the launcher

or just get a 3rd party launcher

[junior berry]

ive tried re-installing

[junior berry]

ill try that

but look, steam and paradox website know i have it, but the launcher doesnt

[pale sparrow]

https://bcssov.github.io/IronyModManager/

This is the alternative

[swift field]

weird

the HOI4 mods launcher works for me

[pale sparrow]

same here, though I use Irony because it loaded faster previously

[swift field]

alr

[junior berry]

should i download the setup and full?

[pale sparrow]

Only the setup

[swift field]

hey Mar

question: can i add REAL LIFE Templates and units from this wiki page?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_organization#Army

[pale sparrow]

You cant add hierarchy

[swift field]

why?

[pale sparrow]

Because all that is hardcoded

[swift field]

oh alr

[pale sparrow]

You can mod the interface probably but not the code behind that interface

[swift field]

alr

becus im bored AND tired of using the same Vanilla and MODDED units and templates

we need SOME new stuff

so its MORE realistic

[pale sparrow]

More realistic is difficult in a game that wasnt made to be realistic

Except for correcting some borders and tweaking historical events like adding Molotov Ribbentrop properly

[swift field]

alr

but can i add the Units and templates in some MORE OFFICIAL way?

[junior berry]

alr, so ive downloaded the irony mod manager, how do i now register the mods?

[swift field]

@pale sparrow i need a answer to this question

[pale sparrow]

See the options/settings

[pale sparrow]

top right

[junior berry]

i do configure all

then it just is the root directory

[lethal mirage]

Alright

[swift field]

hello the Explosive

[lethal mirage]

So for example, those who voluntarily got in the army

Like signed up instead of conscripted

[swift field]

yes

correct

[lethal mirage]

Would they be better units than conscripts?

[swift field]

idk yet

[lethal mirage]

To me it would make sense

Because you’d usually not sign up for the army to go to á front line if you thought you wouldn’t stand a chance

Many veterans sign up again I think, and they have combat experience

Especially when it comes to defending your country

[swift field]

I do also wanna add more NEW concsription draft and mobilization laws aswell

[lethal mirage]

Interesting

[swift field]

but there will be debuffs

the lower you go

the worse off your stats are

[lethal mirage]

And maybe, if war support is low but your conscription law is high, then stability should tick down slowly

[swift field]

yes

[lethal mirage]

Same with economy law

[swift field]

i had the same idea

[swift field]

yes

[lethal mirage]

This sounds very annoying and very challenging to play

But thats á good thing

[swift field]

alr

yes it is

[junior berry]

by top right, do you mean "Configure All..."?

[swift field]

like the lower you go in your concsription draft and mobilization laws you get more MP but get lower and worse off Stats

so its balanced

in a way thats NOT OP

[junior berry]

ye

[lethal mirage]

Because youre conscripting people who aren’t necessarily good at combat

Like older people

[swift field]

yes

thats the idea

like if your playing as a MINOR

and REALLY NEED MP

just use my Hoi4 MULTI MOD

[lethal mirage]

Yeah it never really made sense to me that in desperate defence in Mobile Warfare, when you conscript people in wheelchairs, they fight just as good as other people

[junior berry]

so you get debuffed alongside the output / training time / construction debuffs

[swift field]

yes

[swift field]

yes

i will also add Reserve and age laws

and where you can concsript women

if NEED be

[lethal mirage]

But you also need to keep in mind that in WW2, it was a battle for life or death fór most nations, so á whole lot of people signed up to the army

[swift field]

yes ik

[lethal mirage]

Like in the Soviet Union

[swift field]

yes ik

[lethal mirage]

Alright

[swift field]

i usually play Estonia

[lethal mirage]

Based??

[swift field]

so i can take over baltics and finland

[lethal mirage]

And you need loads of manpower as Estonia

Especially since youre between thr Germans and the Soviets

[swift field]

yes ik

thats why im adding in more LAWS

to get MORE MP

@lethal mirage

[lethal mirage]

Yep

Well, let me know when you finish it

I might try it out

[swift field]

alr

idk yet when ill start

and when ill finish it

[lethal mirage]

Thats alright

[swift field]

alr

thx

[lethal mirage]

Take your time, it’s better to have a good product

[swift field]

yes indeed

ill try to start this year

and try to finish it THIS YEAR

i just gotta find a media course for modding

@lethal mirage

[lethal mirage]

Yep

Haven’t they made some tutorials?

Paradox?

[swift field]

yes in their hoi yt channel

[lethal mirage]

And the YouTube right?

[swift field]

yes

ill show the vid to my teacher when i find a media course for modding

like the one where you can add more units and templates

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1AHC_OC09Q&pp=ygUYaG9pNCBtb2RkaW5nIGd1aWRlIHVuaXRz

here it is

@lethal mirage

thats the one ill show it to my teacher

[lethal mirage]

You have a moddding teacher?

[swift field]

not yet rn atm

i gotta find 1

in finland

[lethal mirage]

So you mean more like a programming teacher?

[swift field]

yes

ill first add some few couple new REAL LIFE templates and units

if you have any ideas let me know

[lethal mirage]

Hmm

I’m not really sure no

As in stuff that existed in WW2 that isnt in HOI4?

[swift field]

yes correct

[lethal mirage]

You can probably get something from mods like BlackIce

[swift field]

yes

thats the idea

ive taken a LOT of ideas mostly from BLACKICE

[lethal mirage]

They are basically the main “realistic hoi4” mod

[swift field]

yes ik

i love BLACK ICE

[lethal mirage]

I really don’t like it because of UI and being insanely complicated

But I can see the appeal

[swift field]

alr

alr

i want my HOI4 MULTI MOD to be also realistic

but not TOO MUCH

so people can still have fun

they can use it in SP games for RP purposes

[lethal mirage]

Yeah the UI and added features can make it sluggish and complicated

[swift field]

alr

yes ik

[lethal mirage]

But if you’re only changing manpower fór example, it will be fine

[swift field]

yes

thats the idea

[lethal mirage]

I kind of need to go eat right now

[swift field]

alr bye

[lethal mirage]

Bye

[raven merlin]

[swift field]

let me know when your back

[lethal mirage]

Oh yeah sorry

I'm back

[swift field]

alr nice

[lethal mirage]

I don't really have many more questions though

[swift field]

alr

i really have no more stuff to talk bout my Hoi4 multi mod

[swift field]

@lethal mirage but do you have any ideas suggestions for my hoi4 multi mod?

[lethal mirage]

I mean, not really?

[swift field]

alr

[swift field]

@lethal mirage hello

ill also add NEW tech and equipment

ill add start dates from 1900 till 2025

[plain ibex]

Hi,
I'm developing a submod for MD (the problem at hand doesn't really depend on MD), I'm trying to have a system where if you start a civil war in a country and the breakaway government wins then the generated country (winner of the civil war) gets annexed by the old government (looser), so that it can preserve the focus tree, national spirits and various functions that MD has for some countries. Then the external country, that initiated the civil war, will get an event with an option to puppet the country that had the civil war.

So right now I add a flag to the generated country in the civil war target_of_coup and a variable with the id of the external country that initiated it called coup_master. Then in the on_civil_war_end in 00_on_actions.txt I do this:

#ROOT is winner #FROM gets annexed
on_civil_war_end = {
    effect = {
        if = {
            limit = {
                ROOT = {
                    has_country_flag = target_of_coup
                }
            }
            ROOT = {
                clr_country_flag = target_of_coup
                
            }
            FROM = {
                annex_country = {
                    target = ROOT
                    transfer_troops = yes
                }
                every_country = {
                    limit = {
                        check_variable = { ROOT.coup_master = THIS.id }
                    }
                    country_event = { id = influence.501 }
                }
            }
            
        }
    }
}

and in the event I do this:

# Option to puppet country after civil war
country_event = {
    id = influence.501
    title = influence.501.t
    desc = influence.501.d
    picture = GFX_politics_talks
    is_triggered_only = yes

    # puppet the country
    option = {
        name = influence.501.a
        
        ROOT = {
            if = {
                limit = {
                    has_global_flag = GAME_RULE_allow_colored_puppets
                }
                set_autonomy = {
                    target = FROM
                    autonomy_state = autonomy_associated_state_colored
                    freedom_level = 0.875
                    end_wars = no
                    end_civil_wars = no
                }
            }
            else = {
                set_autonomy = {
                    target = FROM
                    autonomy_state = autonomy_associated_state
                    freedom_level = 0.875
                    end_wars = no
                    end_civil_wars = no
                }
            }
            add_named_threat = { threat = 3 name = created_puppet_loc }
            FROM = { gui_effect_puppet_match_ruling_party_to_overlord = yes }
        }
        every_neighbor_country = {
            add_opinion_modifier = {
                target = ROOT
                modifier = puppeted_neighbor
            }
        }
    }

    # does nothing
    option = {
        name = influence.501.b
    }
}

the event fires without any problems, but nothing happens and I get nothing in the error.log.
But if I try to launch the same event from the ROOT (winner of civil war) in on_civil_war_end without doing the annexation command it works fine and the external country is able to puppet the winner of the civil war

1/10 mod

Me when I play in a time of peace between majors

[full swallow]

I am making a mod that adds a new radio station, and it all works fine except for the localisation. Despite my attempts to define localisation, the ingame names for the songs are not the intended ones. Either I'm making a mistake or I am simply misinterpreting where the intended song names should go.
The directory is localisation\english\music_station_l_english.yml
attached are screenshots of the music.asset file and the music_station_l_english.yml

that's not the entire music.asset code but it should be enough to take a gander

according to this tutorial I followed the text between the quotes should be the stylized final song name I want it to show up

and the name preceding the :0 should just be the exact same as the one I put in the name: value of the .asset file

but for some reason ingame all the songs display names such as Cowboy Show by shadowkristal rather than Cowboy Show

[ripe perch]

The localisation key may only have the English alphabet, underscores, dots, hyphens, and numbers. Anything else such as spaces, letters with diacritics, or non-Latin script will break the rest of the file.

Hi, any recomendations or guides about how to get started on Hoi4 moding?
I have no experience moding or programing, but I though this may be a good starting point

[twin anchor]

The Hoi4 modding guides provided by paradox are a pretty good start

The HoI4 modding wiki also is a very good source.

[sharp venture]

Ok, Im looking at a guide on youtube about the básics, but I'll watch that shortly after

[twin anchor]

getting the basics is the best idea then work your way up from there

[chilly loom]

Question: So the game rule to balkanize a country/continent, can I make it so its the default option that is also loaded before the game starts (if you currently set the game rule to balkanize it wont balkanize until you start the game, can I do it so it will be automatically balkanized before I start the game and do I have to do it manually [aka manually add the balkanization into the states as if I was making a new country]

[ripe perch]

you can change the default game rules, but I think the map in the selection screen is based on the state owner in the history files.

thanks, this is my first time working on a mod in a few years and im excited again

trying to do something a little less intense than my previous projects

[austere wyvern]

Shouldn't it be Hawaii rather than California?

[wise cradle]

Idk but their a command that goes threat -100 you can rest world tension that way

[daring oriole]

May I ask who has the high-definition flag gfx file here

[ancient vapor]

Well that's boring, also what if you are monarquist/authoritarian? You need world tension to justify (no one plays Democratic)

Hi. I have started making a HOI4 football mod. I am texting this to see if anybody would be interested in such a mod. I want to make it accessible to everyone, not only football enthusiasts

So if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to drop them

[ancient vapor]

British or American football?

[unkempt cedar]

Soccer

I wish I had some knowledge about american football as well

[ancient vapor]

Hmn

What exactly do you want to make?

[unkempt cedar]

A mod with 2 scenarios. One with clubs and one with national teams

And each scenario will highlight the rivalries between nations

A sort of Fifa combined with HOI4

[ancient vapor]

And Each division would be a player?

[unkempt cedar]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

The president and association members will be the leaders

The coaching staff will probably be the generals

[ancient vapor]

Well it doesn't sound bad

It shouldn't be so hard if you have your ideas clear

[unkempt cedar]

The thing is I have just started

I have created the fifa soundtrack

That is the only think I have done so far 😅

And edited the map to feature all fifa nations

[ancient vapor]

Wait so the map is normal world?

[ancient vapor]

Well that's a lot

[unkempt cedar]

That's the thing. I don't really know how to do it

Maybe for the national teams, the normal map works

[ancient vapor]

I mean that's the easy part

Have you heard of the Stalingrad mod? You could do that to change from normal map to the field

(If it even exists cuz I'm not sure)

[unkempt cedar]

Wow, that's an interesting idea

Thank you

I am going to try it

I haven't heard of it to be honest

I was thinking of going basic with the world map, but maybe I can do some crazy stuff with all the fifa tournaments and create different maps for each year

[tranquil moss]

are there any good ww1 mode?

Great war redux

[daring oriole]

.

[feral thicket]

It actually targets where the largest concentration of US ships is in the Pacific, preventing the player from just stationing it in a different port so nothing happens

[austere wyvern]

I mean aint no way japan can reach california but sure I guess

[feral thicket]

It's more of a proof on concept at the moment

I get the concern about reaching California though, I'll think on that

[nimble solar]

Well, if the US doesn't have ships in Hawaii, Philippines, or other Pacific islands, then they lack naval supremacy allowing Japan to naval invade all the islands.

[feral thicket]

You know what that's fair

I might remove the west coast from the options then

[nimble solar]

Let me check the tora tora tora buff. If it has extra port strike and naval strike stats for a bit, that would help post pearl harbor if the US does move its ships

[feral thicket]

It's just the base game one atm, but only slightly modified

[nimble solar]

Oh it does for a year? Dang

[feral thicket]

Well Tora tora Tora as far as I can tell isn't used in base game

[nimble solar]

It is

[feral thicket]

Where?

[nimble solar]

Japan gets it hidden when they declare on the Philippines

When playing Japan, you will see "Tora Tora Tora is no longer in effect" or expired

Whatever it is when a national spirit is removed

[feral thicket]

Oh Ive never seen that before, guess I've not been looking enough

[nimble solar]

There is no notification you get it, but you do

[feral thicket]

Is the bonus too strong atm, or is it ok? I haven't play-tested it

[nimble solar]

I barely see an effect

Because i dont use any of the buffs

[feral thicket]

I did modify it slightly

[nimble solar]

Aside from maybe the navy stats

Which you just roll the AI anyways

[feral thicket]

Fair

I'm making a mod for the us mainly, but I wanted to add in pearl harbor because I felt it was a necessity

[nimble solar]

I think there should be a better implementation of peal harbor in the game also

[feral thicket]

Hopefully they do it for the upcoming dlc

[nimble solar]

It used to be the US had to start the Pacific war by doing the focus "Pearl Harbor Gambit"

Which gave Japan a war goal

[feral thicket]

That's so strange

[nimble solar]

Which is completely backwards

Japan could do the focus Strike the USA though

[feral thicket]

My first games of hoi4 were after waking the tiger released, so I never saw that tree

Right before Man the Guns if I remember right

[nimble solar]

Neither have I, but i heard of its wackiness

It was the DLC before, yeah

[naive steppe]

Is there a mod where I can basically set up my own puppets with specific borders and cores. I like doing nearly historical but still alt historical and I end up with all this land that I have to puppet really weirdly with like 100 different 1 state puppets (often africa and islands)

Or something that just improves german puppeting mechanic

[harsh pulsar]

For that I would just get a state transfer tool to shape the puppets as you want them to be

Probably the most simple solution

[chilly loom]

Ladies

How do I set a puppet free from the beginning

Lets take french syria

it starts off as a french puppet

how do I make it independent

I am new to this Hoi4 modding stuff. I'm trying to make land bridges and make a "Strike while the iron is hot" even for Germany and the Soviet Union, depending on who goes to war with Poland first and wins.

[tawny spade]

Hello, I'm tryna download some visual mods, but I noticed when I go to the game launcher these messages keep popping up and I have no clue how to fix them, which is why for the past few months I've been playing HOI4 while selecting the launch option on Steam "Launch game (skip launcher)". If anyone knows how to resolve these issues please let me know!

[true violet]

uhhh open steam and go to hoi4, rightclick the icon and then click properties. A window should pop up with a bunch of stuff on the left side, go on "Installed Files" then you have to press "Verify integrity of game files" (or something like that the, it should be the last option)
Steam will then check files and download any missing or corrupted files and after that it should work? if not then i guess reinstall it

[tawny spade]

I see, I'll give it a try and see what the outcome is, thanks for the tip!

[true violet]

basically you have to go there

[tawny spade]

I did the integrity check and nothing changed, but the problem seems to be that the game can't access my directory with game data, how would I edit the launcher's permission to do that?

[true violet]

hmm it can also (maybe) be a antivirus thing?

Online there is also the talks about that maybe the documents on the pc could be handeld by oneDrive which also messes with file directory

[tawny spade]

I see

[true violet]

maybe also check if the file directory even exists i guess???

i think troubleshooting is somewhat a good idea

[honest anvil]

Mods won't turn on for me

This just started today

I enable player lead peace conferences and millennium dawn

They tick green like normal

But when I actually load into the game, they aren't on

As if I had disabled all mods before launching

I hit resume and it says it couldn't load the mods

I hit play and it just loads me into normal vanilla menu

If I manually load up my modded save then the game just crashes

How do I fix thos

Go to hearts of iron IV/common/technologies to find the list of tech names in the code

[sick torrent]

ty :)

[sick torrent]

i dont see common maybe im at fault bu i dont see the folder?

[feral thicket]

Idk that's the name of the file directory in the hoi4 folder

Common has to exist it's where most of the game code is

Maybe look at this and see if it can fix your issue

[sick torrent]

ok i found it its just hidden from the hoi4 thing, odd

[sick torrent]

its saying unknown command :( idk how to make this work, im trying to add the norwegian tank module techs to japan for reference

[hollow vault]

hey there, how do I add building slots to a state as completion reward? my example if it needed

     id = focus2
     prerequisite = { focus = focus1 }
     icon = GFX_focus_generic_low_cost_housing
     x = 2
     y = 1
     cost = 10
     completion_reward = {
       add_stability = 0.05
       set_capital = {
        state = 45
        remember_old_capital = no```

[fast idol]

Are there any mods that remove NATO in Millenium dawn?

[wise cradle]

idk but i thing it in the cusom game rules

[silk quartz]

hi guys, does anyone know how to change unit voice lines? I am tried to replace files in integrated_dlc/dlc018/sound/usa, but it didn't work

[feral thicket]

Look at the Japanese focus tree then and seee

[true violet]

if i remember correctly it should be
random_owned_controlled_state = {
add_extra_state_shared_building_slots = 1
}

put that in the completion reward i guess ??

[hollow vault]

ty that worked

[fickle niche]

if i make a mod without having the cosmetic dlcs and for example i dont mod the tank cosmetics will someone who has a dlc for the cosmetics see the dlc cosmetics?

@sick torrent

common/technologies/

[sick torrent]

Yeah but where do i find common folder

[pale sparrow]

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\common

normally

[sick torrent]

Im technologically illiterate (ive had a computer for like 2 years now) i have no clue where to look sorry 😭

Wait

I found it

[stiff ruin]

any mods taking place in another world, with good content, that is not EAW

[hollow vault]

is that fine?

[somber basalt]

anyone know how to fix this when adding an idea?

[tame drum]

You might have a couple errors

[hollow vault]

i dont think so

[somber basalt]

thats fine

[somber basalt]

uh

i think i fixed the idea thing

[hollow vault]

lol

[somber basalt]

its still going😭

i think my entire game has corrupted

[somber basalt]

nothing?

[feral thicket]

What's the error log look like?

[true violet]

eh i get ~250k.

after 2 years of game simulation

sometimes randomly crashes

but i mean the mod is really early development

and im not working on it much tbh

[somber basalt]

Its just because of one idea that dosnt work and idk why

It says the idea is invalid

I sent the code somewhere before that

[feral thicket]

Well for one is that the correct name for the GFX?
Perhaps also check your localisation

[somber basalt]

I copied it from the actual Finland file

Its my first time doing this or even using C so I was just trying to make it work

And I don’t think the localization could be the problem since the idea would just show the id name, unless im dumb, but I’ll try

[true violet]

but thats mostly because of "MAP_ERROR: no gun emplacement defined for state n " but the game still runs rather normal

also i dont have any flags defined for most nations

[tawny spade]

The HOI Launcher told me to rename/remove a .sqlite file in my HOI files, I first renamed it and nothing was fixed, so I removed it and now my HOI launcher just doesn't launch, I verified file integrity with steam, reinstalled HOI4 and the file is still not there and my launcher is still broken, what do I do?

[ancient vapor]

The launcher or the error log?

[azure drift]

anyone know if rt56 is fixed yet or no?

(it was breaking and entire world would go to war in 38, and everyone gets 1942 tech and other weird shit)

it finally works

[pale sparrow]

We cant replicate that issue still

[azure drift]

strange, I can see if one of my friends still has the save for it, I can send you it and the modlist if you want

[pale sparrow]

Modlist...

We still think people running other mods is the issue

[azure drift]

Theres nothing that id think would effect it, fps map, 2x faster building, shit like that is what we use

[pale sparrow]

Sure you can give me the save

Ill check

[azure drift]

Ill send it sometime tomorrow in dms if he still has it, if not ill give an attempt to replicate it

[pale sparrow]

Sure

Alright so, i'm currently making a radio mod and I need some assistance on how to essentially add more songs to said radio station code wise.

The images below are the lines of code and other bits and pieces, etc etc.

[ancient vapor]

The Minecraft mod

Though I think is not as complete

Idk I haven't played eaw

[stiff ruin]

its a good mod, but i am looking for something new. i have also played the star wars mod, and the warcraft mod doesnt have any "historical" paths

[ancient vapor]

Play mine then

Lol

[stiff ruin]

is it out?

because i would

[ancient vapor]

No

That's the joke

[stiff ruin]

ahhh

[fiery jetty]

anyone else having crashing problems with these mods?

[nimble solar]

Well, you have 2 enclave mods and an outdated mod

I dont know much about owb

But there might be compatibility issues

[fiery jetty]

the thing is it worked before then it just stoped sudenly

and it still crashes if i take a few of them off

hoi4 is not in c

hoi4 is in a mesed up version of AMPL called "hoi4 syntax"

[reef maple]

calling for coders if they wanna join a mod project

[sleek portal]

So despite being very new I’ve been thinking of trying the Great War mods

But I’ve been wondering how is naval

I love the Anglo German naval arms race but in vanilla hoi4 naval is kinda akward in terms of research

[ancient vapor]

Then I have no idea

[ancient vapor]

Germany has naval superiority almost all of the time for some reason

Though the British always guard their ports

[sleek portal]

Actually how far does the tt go for naval

I assume u can get the Bayerns for Germany and the qe’s for the uk

[obtuse condor]

could someone recommend me a mod that gets rid of useless countries to make my game faster

[azure drift]

its called "tag switch to brazil and Mexico and just annex those regions into eachother"

[obtuse condor]

kinda annoying to do that every game tho, thats why i was asking for a mod

[azure drift]

i mean theres always the other one thats called "buy a new PC you poor"

[obtuse condor]

not very helpful, im asking in modding and not tech support for a reason

if you're not even trying to actually help please just stop

[wanton olive]

does anyone here know a mod to make the performance of mellenuim dawn better? like by removing africa or something.

[fading pollen]

State transfer tool and just block them all together?

Could make a mod to have some nations annex others at start or with decisions, would not be so hard to do, but it would require a particular like… idea or plan of how you wanted them to be consolidated

But basically it could be this:

• Add global decision category for consolidation
• Decisions are only available to player
• Each decision then can set a certain predetermined grouping to occur, or one button to do all of them.

Or could just have an event that fires immediately that does it too if you never want to change it

[obtuse condor]

i ended up just using toolpack to merge them

[prisma yarrow]

Sigma

[lofty plaza]

Reall solved that one

[hollow vault]

damn why are a minors have the focus tree as my custom country

[wise cradle]

Let's see the code

[ripe perch]

you marked it as default?

[hollow vault]

nah but i already solved it

i just forgot to mark country = { } at the start of the code

[fading pollen]

Where is the localization for faction names?

[spare leaf]

I made leader but it doesnt work 😢

[mint oar]

i dont know what its talking about, its just a normal decision and it it just spams unexpected token errors at alll of them, wth

[pale sparrow]

Unexpected token usually means you removed/added a bracket too much, it breaks every decision after

[mint oar]

hm, ill check it out

[amber citrus]

Hello. I'm getting back into HOI4 recently, does anyone know any good NATO/AAP-06 style division icons mod which is at least somewhat up to date, I used to use MPU icons back then.

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask for mod requests, not sure which I'm meant to use

[swift field]

i wanna add new Ships crafts vessels and landing crafts

like LCAs AAVs ACVs

and LHDs LHAs LPDs Etc

and LOTS LOADS of NEW SPECIAL PROJECTS

[mossy condor]

Any mods to improve multiplayer?

[pale sparrow]

Theres a few that change the behavior around time slowing down to allow people to catch up

[nocturne path]

does anyone know of a mod that automates divisions, deployment, equipment, etc? i'd prefer to just make the decisions that are in the decision menu, and choose which countries to declare war on, as opposed to figuring out how to fight a war.

[pale sparrow]

Doesnt exist*

[gentle stag]

Is there any way to change a dam models height? Not asking about stats or anything but some provinces I say it should build the model does not show up, but some do and it seems kind of random.

[crystal sand]

It will be more rewarding to learn the game

Watch a few tutorials, and ask for help when you need it

[shy yarrow]

are there any up to date random country placement mods

[willow karma]

you can do it in vanilla, just go into a non ironman mode game and then use the ` key. then type observe and then the country tag you want to play (example: GER for germany). set it to 5 speed and a bot will do everything for you

[proven roost]

can someone help me get a mod? i need someone to download a specific mod from the steam workshop and then send the folder for it to me since i cant download it through steam workshop

[wise cradle]

@pale sparrow what mod

[pale sparrow]

I dont usually help with such requests because people can usually just use PDX mods or are pirating

Anyone know how to 3d model?

[nocturne path]

no because then i can't make any decisions at all, like i said i still want to be able to decide which countries to go to war with and i want to still make some decisions

[nocturne path]

i tried the in-game tutorial and it was too hard

i don't understand the division menus and stuff very well

[pastel iron]

how do i make a building go above max level? (example: forts, i want to make level 10 forts on a certain province)

[crystal sand]

Watch a youtube tutorial

The in game one is known for being fairly ass

[robust coral]

can someone help me with a mod im working on i cant get this like line to work

[pale sparrow]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[amber citrus]

Hellow, please is there any mod that allows air transports to be used for regular divisions, not talking about paradropping them, just for moving them around airbase to airbase

[pale sparrow]

Dont think so, should be easy to make in theory, except you probably cant make it consider air primacy

[amber citrus]

Could you please point me in the right direction, I have very little modding experience with HOI4 but I have fair experience with Stellaris which I think uses the same system

[swift field]

question: what units and templates can i add?

[molten vessel]

Is there an ai mod that like a noob multiplayer
Like much easier than sheep’s ai

[swift field]

@pale sparrow can you help me with this question

like what is possible to add?

[pale sparrow]

I dont know what you mean by that

[swift field]

i mean what types of units and templates can i add to my hoi4 mod?

[pale sparrow]

unless you go modern, vanilla already has quite a few unit types

🤷‍♂️

[swift field]

alr

i WISH i could add RL types of units and templates

[wise cradle]

Road to 56

but their is custom tec

it won't get you any of the tank plane or ship designers or the spy angeny or any addional stuff that come

along with the dlc

[robust coral]

?

[sick torrent]

Show the line youre struggling with

[late hawk]

mod in more support companies and different types of artillery, jungle infantry (but that might come ij the next vanilla update), and others

[swift field]

i do wanna add more Infantry marine tank and armored units and templates

[late hawk]

then mod them in

Im no expert on unit modding

[swift field]

ill do it when ive learned how to mod on hoi4

[late hawk]

use the wiki

it helps for just about everything

[finite solar]

That is actually a dream-like concept…. I have 500+ hours but still don’t fully understand the stats of my division templates. If you are new, just play with some cheats for a while and after 200 hours you actually start to learn most of the mechanics… at least that’s how it worked for me!

[wet pulsar]

yo so how do i remove all the generic advisors, companies and theorists from one country?

[frosty quiver]

If you're just looking for suggestions, do full on helicopter divisions
