modding

[sly heron]

So I had been following the Official HOI4 modding tutorial, and basically completed the beginners course. My custom mod worked fine.
And after waiting for a while, I thought about trying out the intermediary course, only for my mod now to course my game to crash whenever It tries to load up the main menu. Always at the "Initializing game" part of the opening load screen.
I'd try to figure what's wrong, but the error log is bloody error.log is 296,634 characters long, and I would not know where to start to look for the main culprit of the crash.

The main difference that I can think of that has happened is that I bought and downloaded two new DLCs. AAT and Gutter. Though I doubt that's the main issue.

In either case, is this something that happens regulary when making mods? They just seemingly randomly start to break?

[tribal spear]

how do I code in landmark models?

[white trellis]

hi i want to release some nations to make puppets and the gamerule is set to true but the game still blocks me from doing so?

its the red dusk mod

[tender anchor]

I hv question

What is the point of modding

[fair pike]

Look into the Error Log and search for either the word map or crash

[sleek plume]

hey what are some qol mods you guys reccomend?

hey is this the wrong chat

like is this for mods or for modding?

[rare grove]

Modding

[sly heron]

No dice, I'm afraid. When I check the Error Log that is stored in the crashes folder, I find nothing on map or crash.

Though I realize now I might have just been a blind idiot as the top line of the error log reads: [17:37:30][no_game_date][pdx_lua.cpp:223]:
LUA Error: [string "common/defines/01_mydefines.lua"]:1: attempt to index field 'Ngame' (a nil value) - no script source to reload That might be the main issue.

And wouldn't you know it... that fixed it.

lmao

[obtuse condor]

how could i add more sprites here

Is it possible to make a brigade designer?

do i paste it here?

[patent cloak]

Has anyone ever tried changing the combat width of any units other than leg infantry/mountaineers through doctrines?

I’m thinking of trying to make a Superior Firepower rebalanced mod, and one of my ideas is to make the Dispersed Support side of the tree reduce Line Artillery/Rocket Artillery/Motorized Artillery combat width

[feral sentinel]

in crossing the Danube mod I think

[austere wyvern]

it works for all sorts of stuff but not line arty for some reason

[patent cloak]

Hmm

How did you try altering the combat width?

[austere wyvern]

copy pasting the code from all the various cw reductions and replacing it with all the vatiations of code where line arty stats were touched

[patent cloak]

Hmm

Did you check if the line arty had hardcoded combat width in a separate file?

[austere wyvern]

everything has hard coded cw

[patent cloak]

Hmm

Does Leg Infantry/Mountaineers have a special flag that allows cw to change?

[gray socket]

I want to share my work.

[fallow summit]

Hello, I wrote a script that can reduce all the factories of the countries from 1947, when all the events are over, by a certain ratio, and make the game run like in 1936... that is, the game with divisions and the modern world with a vanilla map and very fast.... Please receive it

[limber torrent]

???

[crystal sand]

What

[fallow summit]

Optimization
Get power of countries by a certain ratio
, dont change power , but create faster game

[crystal sand]

What do you mean by "Please receive it"

[zinc trellis]

pause

[fallow summit]

I just wrote that whoever wants to come and get it from me. And for the time they got it, it's fine to give them $2.

[crystal sand]

What?

Explain

[fallow summit]

Sorry google translate is dumped... Im create this and take a few times, if i can give for this 2 dollar im give energies to complete my mod

[arctic rose]

Hi, did someone know a mod to prevent faction and guarantees that work with the last version of the game please ?

does anyone know a millenium dawn mod which doesnt have the dumbass money thing?

[dry knot]

I’m working on a personal mod pet project and I’m wondering how you guys create Head of Government and three ministers interface akin to TNO/KR, if anyone can give me pointers that would be extremely helpful and appreciated thanks.

[patent cloak]

Idea I’m working on for a Superior Firepower doctrine rework, since it tends to fall off compared to other doctrines.

Feedback would be appreciated

[brave whale]

Any opinion or suggestion to improve my mod about 🇺🇸🛠️COMMIE USA?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2985220962

(I appreciate help with English, too)

[burnt hornet]

Do you have any alternative leaders

Like Jay Lovestone for a anti stalinist path

[brave whale]

A communist United States would be a global shock of great magnitude. Its future would surpass the old debates of the 1920s and 1930s of the Soviet party and would generate its own dynamics... In this context, it proposes its own path independent of Moscow, where Browderism becomes a new global reference.

[hollow vault]

Hell 3 gigabytes

[zinc trellis]

browderism is class collaborationism, and thus not communist, so maybe look in to other communists in the US of the time

maybe a younger william Z foster path

like a coup of browder or assassination

or maybe as a meme path u could do a focus called like "radicalize FDR" and get him idk

[chilly loom]

Alright lads
I have a problem
the newly made countries I made for my mod
dont spawn with templates
and they dont make them either
whats the quickest way to give them templates
without having to manually add templates
I was thinking of doing a focus that spawns in units, that should give them templates right?

[arctic sinew]

Is thier a guide to creating custom maps?

[humble basin]

Dripler

[brave whale]

Yes but your are talking about browderism as a tendency developed in our real 1940s.
An Earl Browder President of the USA in 1936 after a civil war (with its own narrative) is a very very different ucronic scenario, thas would develop his own dynamics and new concepts and meanings.

Anyway, yes, new narratives after civil war could generate new conflicts and other possible country leaders. I can study this implementation.

Thanks!

[zinc trellis]

Browder had adopted his class collaborationist beliefs before 36, i can dm you a video about it from s4a if you want

also nice mod

[brave whale]

Ok! I send you a friend request

I remember a Browder's text defending Moscow trials, so I though he was a character than can play both roles in this ucronic geopolitics leading USA: to be close friend of SOV or to be a leader of a new american socialism.
In my mod you have to choise.

[echo sphinx]

so im playing with a mod that adds missile cruisers and i wanted to ask, Should i put cruisers with my battle cruisers? or destroyers with a battle cruiser? and use the cruisers as part of a patrol fleet?

[inner canopy]

thank u

[obtuse condor]

how do i fix this?

[fossil lark]

begginer modder here, so I was making my first mod following the youtube official tutorial and learning from it, but when I launched the game the localization file is not working properly, is there any way to fix it?

I've read that I should change it to UTF-8-BOM but still don't know how to make it in vscode

[onyx night]

forgot I made this for when japan remake was an idea in paradox's mind

[fossil lark]

[14:37:48][no_game_date][dlc.cpp:222]: Invalid supported_version in  file: mod/ugc_3368690477.mod line: 7

what am I supposed to do here?

[twin apex]

Hey does anyone know the peripheral Ideology tag for the end of the new beginning mod, I can't find it online anywhere

[obtuse hawk]

so I'm following a tutorial from iron workshop on adding generals, yet when I boot up the game to test if my general's there, nothing shows up, instead it just removes some generals, admirals and advisors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKLkI1AGArc&t=333s

This is the video in case that helps, but I'm adding a general to a major rather than cuba

[obtuse hawk]

been at this for nearly a full day and nothing at all is changing

[fair pike]

Maybe a bracket is Missing. Look into the Error log

[pale sparrow]

Bottom right click UTF 8->Save as->UTF-8 with BOM

[pale sparrow]

Ignore it

Its irrelavent

[obtuse hawk]

nothing to do with brackets. just a bunch of unexpected token stuff for either generals that are still in the game or ones that have been wiped.

[fair pike]

That usually means there is an extra bracket or one Missing, Check your character file you edited at the line where the unexpected token Bugs begin

[obtuse hawk]

I'll do it on a fresh playset because there's probably some other mods that are contributing to the error messages (these ones work fine in the playset without my mod I'm adding into it) but I did it on a fresh one earlier and it still didn't work. Might give some more focused error messages though

these are all the code blocks I added in

https://pastebin.com/j0pMVbi6

fixed it here's the actual error log

[stiff ruin]

i am back with my modding problems. would it work if i copied how steam downloaded mods works, and put all the mod things in "D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/394360", while just putting a mod file whihc directs to this one in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod?

my mod is always loaded in, but for some reason the game refuses to read it? (it recognise that the mod is being launched but it has no effect despite multiple people having confirmed i did eerything right)

and do the file in workshop have to be named in numbers?

[obtuse hawk]

I'm actually about to lose my mind omg

I've looked through these files about 20 times each and there isn't a single syntax error in any of them. This should not be happening so idk why it's so hesitant to just add the old geezer in

[chilly loom]

For an MP mod what are all the things that cause instability and desnycs. Are AI civil wars/peace deals one of them?

[sly heron]

I have the txt file in the correct folder, so why am I getting the unexpected error?

[ripe perch]

it is a false flag with the ideas, this happens often. but your events folder is in the wrong position. the events folder is placed within the main folder, not within common.

[vague grail]

Do you know of a mod to be able to rotate the camera in the game?

[crystal sand]

You can do that just by hooking up a controller

[vagrant rock]

Hi guys, i am making a submod for TFR. My issue is, when I run the mod, it is being completely overwritten by TFR. I have put dependencies in the descriptor.mod file, as well as changed load order so that it is below TFR so that it can overwrite the parent mod, but it is still not working. What do i check next?

[vague grail]

🙁

[crystal sand]

What?

Thats how you do it

By using a xbox, playstation, nintendo or steam controller

[vague grail]

I don’t have one either—so I guess there aren’t any mods for that, then.

[crystal sand]

no

[proven sage]

could someone help me to change colour of manchu back to normal, i´ve been error cleaning (such as readding nations in the game and then event annexing them, but bc of that, manchu became green

[sly heron]

Thanks. Managed to fix that up. But I still seem to be having problems with the code.
The code is the same as in the video. I've written this code before and it worked then. So why doesn't the script work now? What am I doing wrong?

[sly heron]

Blast it, gonna try my luck with The Iron Workshop's guide instead. See if I have any more luck there.

[pale sparrow]

ignore the errors unless you already know its wrong, theres lots of false positives

[languid copper]

the mod disables the loading because apparently its a different version? idk what to do

[pale sparrow]

those two warnings are not related

[languid copper]

but its not a different version

i enabled the mod and could play

but with the mod

[pale sparrow]

[languid copper]

i cant play saves without the mod

[covert mirage]

guys how do i make custom subideology icons, (by that i mean adding them through code)

[cyan axle]

In the production window, does anybody know how/where is it determined if the count shows number of equipment in stockpile vs number needed for upgrades vs number needed for reinforcements? (I don’t need a specific line number, the filename or even just the directory containing the code is enough, I can find it from there)

[cyan axle]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Ideology_modding in the “getting the ideology in your game” section, there’s a subsection called “gfx” that talks about ideology sprites

[sick stirrup]

where can I find polish monarchs' portraits?

can't find them neither in gfx/leaders nor in dlc

[umbral matrix]

nvm

[sick stirrup]

NSB. solved

[covert mirage]

tysm

[broken reef]

Hey guys, is there a way I can have multiple of the same ideology without clogging up the political parties screen? For example, I want to show a power struggle within the Soviet Union, but both are communist. They simply use different subtypes (like Stalinism or Maoism, just as an example). I believe TNO does this but I can't figure out how.

[lapis flume]

what does this line of code do? its in every event and focus and i dont understand what it is (TWR mod btw)
immediate = {log = "[GetDateText]: [Root.GetName]: event twrFranceNew.25"}

[fossil lark]

thankss

[pale sparrow]

it saves the the date, country and that last part to the game.log text file in Documents

[lapis flume]

alright, thx

[covert mirage]

guys could someone help me? I added subideology in common/ideologies.txt, i added the icon, and i added the subideology on a leader and the icon is not showing what do i do?

i think problem migh tbe with ideologyicons.gfx but im not sure what is it pls help

[pale sparrow]

vanilla doesnt use icons for subideology, I assume it doesnt autorecognize them

[covert mirage]

how do i make it recognize them tho

[pale sparrow]

I think Rt56 got custom UI for that

[covert mirage]

can i use it in my mod?

[pale sparrow]

Cant comment on that, we have one person who does licensing

[fervent cove]

[ripe perch]

you need to create a hidden technology and unlock it for Germany only e.g. via focus tree or event

[ripe perch]

yes, the descriptor file need to be in the documents mod folder, the mod itself can be anywhere

Found this, Im not affiliated with them so no promises its safe

[maiden timber]

i put it to virustotal

[pale sparrow]

Im not sure thats reliable

Id probably use it regardless but own risk

[maiden timber]

yeah

im not gonna risk it

[hasty hemlock]

these errors and vanilla map shows up in nudge! instead of the one i made

any ideas?

[austere juniper]

Hi, i was wondering what mod do youtubers use to make the map look less realistic and look more like ck2

[cyan axle]

i read through the source code and there's nothing there that is even close to suspicious imo.

i also had virustotal do a re-analysis and it dropped down to 3 detections.

i suspect false positives. also, the things that deteted it are all AI/ML-based solutions. i suspect that the false positives are because the program has an auto-update utility that just downloads from the github repo, which is definitely not an uncommon malware signature to download payloads.

i think it's probably safe, but if you just run the python scripts yourself instead of the bundled exe, that's almost 100% safe imo.

Hi! I was following the youtube guide to try and do a little mod for fun but im getting this error for the flag picture, ir doesn't happen for the country leader or generals so I wanted to ask how do you guys do it? what editor do you use? Im using gimp but it seems like it doesn't work

[sleek plume]

Is road to 56 rp a good mod?

Ik this is channel for modders but like is there a channel for like mods?

Like to ask about mods in particular

[austere wyvern]

Which one?

[pale sparrow]

Its not 😛

Woohoo original Rt56 gang

[pale sparrow]

GIMP should work if you edit the (saving) settings

However

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

You could use this

[odd spindle]

Usually yes, but my error log is clean

And game crash after chose country and hit play

[tired sleet]

Tysm! gonna try it after lunch ^^

[tropic cargo]

You could try NV:GC

Also, friends.....

I heard that several Mods got hit by DMCA?

[pale sparrow]

False DMCA happens ocassionally, on Steam its not an issue, on PDX mods it is

On PDX mods, Road to 56 got/gets removed constantly for false DMCA claims

On Steam, mods arent hidden immediately from DMCA it seems, so it turns out false, nothing will happen

[tropic cargo]

Haiya.........

[pale sparrow]

oh thats not what that means

[tropic cargo]

No no.....

I am just surprised this is happening at all XD

Someone mass reporting all the big Mods with DMCA

[pale sparrow]

Yeh thats annoying but on Steam its not an issue

[tropic cargo]

In any case......

Thank yoz for the explanation, and I hope all Mods that are affected could persevere

[red tusk]

Any mod reccomendations? I prefer streamlined mods that are closest to core gameplay and not overly complicated. (Like I am not a fan of the way the kaiserreichs and reduxes make it so you have to read a guide to go down a basic path. And I am also not a fan of how many researches are in some of the mods like road to 56)

im going to make a reimagined tno concept

[nimble solar]

I heard TNO: Requium is trying to make TNO more like its original if that is what you are thinking

Or are you coming up with a new Axis victory scenario

[dull crystal]

wait what

im gonna continue making my own tno scenario unfinished rn

[nimble solar]

This isnt TNO, this is just a white peace

TNO is a complete Axis victory for the most part

This could even be seen as a Germany loses scenario

[dull crystal]

unfinished.

[nimble solar]

Makes sense

[stiff ruin]

Honestly still an interesting scenario, but why is thr baltics free?

They got crimea, but not Estonia?

[nimble solar]

He said it wasn't finished

[stiff ruin]

I was justasking abiut his idea so far out of curiosity

[nimble solar]

I still think a better Cold War scenario is if Germany died much sooner because war started in 1938

[stiff ruin]

Or even better, europe was divided in that insane idea chrchill had

But i do think its an interesting idea, without a great victory, fascism will be much weaker politically, allowing for alternate paths for germany. And now you also get a more peacefull decolonization of africa, not the violent collapse in TNO.

[dull crystal]

europe right now in my concept still the whole concept is unfinished as of now

[dull crystal]

yeah

[patent cloak]

Germany historically did not have a base theory on how to conduct a naval invasion against a hostile power. They also didn’t have the ships necessary to contest the British in open conflict, and the Luftwaffe would be completely useless even if they didn’t cripple themselves for the rest of the war during the Battle of Britain.

Hearts of Haven V 1.07 will be out in the coming days.

For the Uninformed, the mod is based off of a specific region of a Minecraft Server (Stoneworks MC), the Continent of Haven, the Mod is set at the Second Empire of Uldarash's peak, the Empire that through peace and negotiations banded together to banish external dominating forced stands increasingly divided.

The fate of Haven stands undecided.

The upcoming update covers the western states, Aurora, and Boulderov (and another), Aurora is the most powerful state of the Empire, dominating it militarily, economically and politically, it's domion over the the Empire stands threatened by the Rise of the East Havenite states, the Federal Republic of Montroig, and the Republic of Alfheim.

There will be much more content to come for state interactions, the mod is still receiving updates and content.

Anybody know what causes this?

I don't know why the strait (white) texture appears on impassables

[summer apex]

You are creating new states but not defining which provinces should have special buildings

Ever wonder why when you create airports in a state, you dont choose which province the airport is in? This is why

You have to edit them in "E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\map\buildings.txt"

I tried using the existing democracy script as a template, but I'm not sure what I got wrong here

[sleek plume]

hey can I reccomend a mod 🙏

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2213783261

This mod is goated

Favorite mod

works in vanilla

[dull crystal]

made this logo for my version of tno

I really have no idea if development for this will start but yeah

[icy needle]

i love it

[gloomy crescent]

europe in the mod im making

[glass acorn]

What's going wrong with yours?

[near moth]

The game just defaulted to vanilla ideologies when I tried it. I checked to see if I misplaced a bracket or something, but everything seems fine.

[glass acorn]

Is it in the correct spot?

You can also try adding the replace path code into the MOD files

Which in your case would be:

replace_path="common/ideologies"

That way the game avoids using vanilla files and instead only reads what you have in it

Though do note that changing ideologies is a really extensive thing to do

You'll have to go through every country individually and set their political pie charts and ideological names

[nimble solar]

WW1 but it was just between Austria and Russia?

And both collapsed?

[gloomy crescent]

i havent done russia ingame yet but the lore is germany defeats russia, entente defeats ottomans and nothing ever happens on the western front

[nimble solar]

So opposite of Red Flood

Neat

[near moth]

Yeah that realization is dawning on me. The custom ideology sorta works now, but the issue is it isn't capitalized and I can't put a space there.

[near moth]

So a WW1 Stalemate? Would be interesting if you had it so Wilson's peace talks actually went somewhere, but you'd need the Germans to be willing to negotiate in good faith

[glass acorn]

You can localise them with any localisation file

As for no spaces, the actual code needs no spaces "Anarcho_Communism" instead of "Anarcho Communism"

But the localisation lets spaces exist

do mods work on multiplayer and if so how do I know which ones work?

[little knoll]

i have a really bad problem

none of my mods will load

like nothing

it just loads base game hoi4

and idfk know to fix it

anyone know anything that can help?

a bit more information. i was trying to downlaod a mod as a file from github, and it wasnt working

i presumed it wasnt working cause i was downloading it wrong

but then i tried loading kaiserreich and it just laoded base game hoi

i did it with other mods and to no avail

[stiff ruin]

I know some do... but i am unsure wether or not that is automatic for total conversion mods... eaw crashed when i tried with a friend, but that could just have been bad internet. i know rt55, old world blues, and kaissereich/redux works... i would just assume as a rule all works on multiplayer... just remember to use the same mods (music and cosmetic not as important)

[unique jackal]

use steam workshop mabye

[little knoll]

i couldnt for this mod

and i mean no mods work now

literally nothing loads

[stiff ruin]

Have you tried reinstalling? For some reason i imagine that mod broke everything

[little knoll]

ill remove that mod from the file, ill see about reinsatlling

[unique jackal]

I tried some smaller mods like diplomatic actions+ or sum but when we tried mp it said he was on another version

we had same mods and all

[stiff ruin]

Did he have any others? And are you sure both mods loaded?

I mean the mod loaded for both of you

[unique jackal]

didnt have others and had same loaded

[little knoll]

didnt work

ill ask again later

[stiff ruin]

Well the problem isnt with the mod being multiplayer incompatible... it is with one of you loading the game in different states... are you sure you use the same mod, and not just similar mods with the same name?

[velvet crag]

yes im planning to do that in the industry tree

[little knoll]

it didnt work

AAHHHHHH

please someone help 😭

i tried getting rid of the mods and reinstaling them, but that didnt work at all

does anyone know what MIGHT solve the situation

[rough karma]

Also a focus tree path called the bastion of democracy in eastern europe, or something like that. It focuses on preserving it's greater territories and greatly improving then, not trying to expand. Also trying to avoid conflicts and allying with the western powers

[velvet crag]

Yeah thats the plan for the democratic path actually

[velvet crag]

No idea what i'll do for king carol path

[rough karma]

About how he learns how to actually behave and becomes a more popular figure, with Micheal 1st being always there in case of something

[rough karma]

But this is more of like a description, not what actually happens

[velvet crag]

Well yeah

Hes gonna be the monarchist path

In the democratic tree

you get the choice to become a republic or choose Micheal

[velvet crag]

Btw is this communist tree too small?

[rough karma]

It looks good

[velvet crag]

Could it do with anything else?

[rough karma]

By the way make the join comintern only like 21 days

[rough karma]

Let me think

[velvet crag]

Yeah its like 35 days

[rough karma]

Make the tree after joining comintern or making your own alliance

Romania had a really bad dictator when it became communist, so it should be that it tries to avoid it from the future

[velvet crag]

Yeah i did

[velvet crag]

Balkintern

[rough karma]

Yes but that's the short thing

[velvet crag]

What if i make a politburo focus

Or " Ensure party integrity "

[rough karma]

Hmm, expand more on how you would do that

Say more about it

Or what if we actually make something unique and make it so that it's a communist country, but the peasants and workers have the strongest power of voting

And the other branch makes it a politurbo

And the third can be a communist guy like Stalin

And they can share a few focuses together

[velvet crag]

Worker councils

[rough karma]

But have some unique only to them

[velvet crag]

Maybe i can make it so

" Join the commintern " has a branch where you go censorship and oppressive for some factory buffs

[rough karma]

Wait I have an even better idea

[velvet crag]

Balkintern " more freedom and rights but small factory debuff "

[rough karma]

Use the politcal balance that was used for italy in bba

And it makes decide on how you expand

[velvet crag]

Im not intelligent enough to know how to use it

[rough karma]

I mean Ceausescu was even doing slavery so he gets money ( he was communist dicator in Romania)

I'll think about this more, sounds like a fun project for you

[velvet crag]

Should i make an option to get him in charge?

I know how to make leaders

hey can someone look at my mod? events wont work

for example

when i trigger the starting news event it shows that it dose not exist but it dose

i cannot open any of my mods. like i activate, say kaiserreich, and i open hoi4, but it just opens vanilla hoi4. all this while the mod is on. the problem occured whilst i was trying to download a mod from github and putting it directly into the hoi4 mod file.

does anyone know how to fix my problem PLEASE

[desert drum]

Is it me or do modern day mods just insist on the worst UIs?

[rough karma]

I will make some research to see more about it, so it's more historically accurate. Or do you just want to do a mod where it's fun, but only the historical path makes sense?

[rough karma]

I do agree too

[rough karma]

Map of nationalities in Romania during interwar period

I have read that the reason for Carol being thrown was that he has lost territories which Romania fought for without a war

And also he was spending money on luxuries

So this is when the fascists took power

So maybe if we go fantasy, instead of fascism, communism goes on the rise to regain the territories

But thing is that this focus (allow soviets to go on Romanian lands) should take 7 days, because soviets wanted yo

So it should have been an event, but it's easier as a focus

[rough karma]

Yes, you could do that

You could make it so that he doesn't go insane and completely mad

Because if he comes now in power he would be relatively young

Also his wife was a really serious problem, telling him what to do many times

Thing is that the communist party was illegal

So it was pretty hard for them to go communist

Problem is that this would be a good path only post war, but nobody plays post war

[orchid ruin]

Can somone help me with this

[swift field]

i wanna add new techs equipments units and templates to my hoi4 multi mod

[sleek plume]

any mod reccomendations?

[velvet crag]

Maybe i can allow to make him leader in 1940

[velvet crag]

Well I dont mind but i want it to be kind of realistic

For example

If romania went democratic they would focus on their polish alliance and working out what they will do regarding the monarchy

[rough karma]

It was a semi constitutional monarchy so that wasn't really a problem

[rough karma]

Communism would be pretty hard to get in Romani though in that time

[velvet crag]

Yeah but its making what would be probable if the situation did happen

For example

I make it happen by romania accepting soviet pressure and unleashing news of the kings corruption

to bolster the communist sentiment

[rough karma]

What would be more realistic is that the illegal communist party would try to get help from the dsoviets

Because it was illegal too

[velvet crag]

Well i guess some of that does come into play

Best event ever

[rough karma]

A good focus in the focus tree would be to lift the ban of the communist party after soviets demand for it (they would say that they opress democracy)

[velvet crag]

Yeah

[rough karma]

I don't got good internet for now so I can't see this image uet

[velvet crag]

Legalize communism

Heres the democratic path

I still want to get the cosmetic working but i'll probably have to abandon romania-bulgaria

[velvet crag]

Oh

[rough karma]

It's because I'm on a trip

By the way monarchy and democracy shouldn't really be a to3ttaly different branch

Because well they still wanted to do the same things

[rough karma]

So they can share a lot of focuses from here

By the way if you could learn how to use balance of power it would be perfect

For democracy path

But it's more about the opinion of the king

When it goes too low they force abdicate him

When it goes high and you do a couple different decisions and focuses you keep Carol as a king

Or you can do it as national spirits (low opinion of the king, medium, high etc)

Also I would love if there was something like if you become soviet puppet, but for example greece wants to become communist, then you both switch sides and greece joins comintern and you join allies

[rough karma]

Or something like that

[rough karma]

Maybe add for either industry or this investments for the minorities from Romania, to increase their opinion and improve the Romanian unity of states

[high silo]

what programming language to mod in hoi4

[rough karma]

Micheal the first tried to save the minorities from Romania, whereas Ion Antonescu (fascist "conducator") tried to take their life away. This way, Micheal saved many lives

[velvet crag]

Do you like Micheal the first

[rough karma]

I don't know a lot of things about him, I am just reading more about Romania and It's status in ww2

Also, would be nice if there were shared focuses between all of them to switch sides, like the focus tree in vanilla

And you still access the other focus trees, but you must change sides

[velvet crag]

Well i want to return to that near the end

Im going to make it an axis path exclusive

where you get a choice to stick loyal to the end or coup in a branch thats unlocked once you have over 5 % capitulation and its past 1942

[rough karma]

No, don't make it axis exclusive please

Each path can do it but only with conditions

[velvet crag]

Okay

[rough karma]

I will think about this more

[velvet crag]

For the commintern you'll get the chance to become " Reichsprotektorat Rumanien "
For the fascist path you'll get to flip communist as a soviet puppet
For the Democratic path it'll be the same as " Reichsprotektorat Rumanien "

[rough karma]

Actually it's a bit more complicated than that

Because in ww2 when they switched from fascism it's because Michael the first had enough of Ion Antonescus regime and wanted to join allies

Thing is that the soviets in 1947 forced abdicated him, or they would kill countless students from Romania

So he had to agree

[velvet crag]

Well yeah but i want the long term effect of collaboration

If you betray your faction you pay a price

[high silo]

how do I start modding and is there a way to script stuff

[rough karma]

They paid in real life later, but it still was a problem

[velvet crag]

yes

[high silo]

what language

[velvet crag]

idk i just sort of understand it

[rough karma]

By the way communists after ww2 were peaceful, not even attacking Czechoslovakia when the other Warsaw pact members did

[velvet crag]

Yeah peaceful

Apart from when it came to managing their own people

Ceaușescu refused to implement measures of economic liberalism. The evolution of his regime followed the path begun by Gheorghiu-Dej. He continued with the programme of intensive industrialisation aimed at the economic self-sufficiency of the country which since 1959 had already doubled industrial production and had reduced the peasant population from 78% at the end of the 1940s to 61% in 1966 and 49% by 1971. However, for Romania, like other Eastern People's Republics, industrialisation did not mean a total social break with the countryside. The peasants returned periodically to the villages or resided in them, commuting daily to the city in a practice called naveta. This allowed Romanians to act as peasants and workers at the same time.[28]

Definitely include something of this too

to my hoi4 multi mod

[orchid ruin]

still need help

[frozen nova]

Hello, i want to do my own mod with this mod "Shadows of France: Updated Version", the problem is when i download all the fils of this mod and put it in my empty mod, i launch the game and it crash, but when i launch it normally without putting it in my own empty files mod it work. Why does it keep crashing ? I try to change the descriptor file but nothing change...

[weary elbow]

any reccomendations for mods to rebalance and kinda fix the mess that tanks can be?

[wise cradle]

I finally fix my hoi4 after 6 months of no one knowing what the problem was I can earn achievements again

how do you get the current date to make an event trigger using date trigger

ai austria in great war redux not collapsing?

they’ve been less than 10% for like 2 weeks now

[umbral karma]

because i am going to be redoing some of the national spirits in my mod "Greater Ambitions" and the ones i made werent to my liking, i wish to give them to the community free to use however you guys please.

[toxic mason]

nvm they collapsed

[umbral karma]

they most likely have a weekly checker for to see if the collapse can start

or maby it was tied to an event

[toxic mason]

why did west ukraine and galicia declare independence from me 💀 (i’m russia)

i have zero debuffs and 100% stability and war support

and they were both under my control

is it just cuz theyre also austrian cores and the war didnt end yet

[umbral karma]

you have fire_only_once turned on

remove it interely

[high silo]

it is a one time event

[umbral karma]

yes but it will just trigger itself once no matter new coditions, cause i see you made it so it gets triggered for multiple nations, but if you have the fire_only_once turned on, it will get triggered for just in this case PRC cause they are the first

just try what i said fgs

[high silo]

i played PRC and it didnt show up

[umbral karma]

go back to main menu, and open a new save file as prc and try again

[high silo]

same thing

[umbral karma]

you didnt make a on_actions file or?

[high silo]

i just followed the instructions and docs

no on actions thing

[umbral karma]

from what i remember the "trigger" functions like a avaible in hoi4 focus trees, if you know what i mean. So it just checks if the conditions are meat, and cause you didnt use "OR" function no conditions will be ever meet, and on top of that, the event doesnt want to trigger itself by this i think you need seperate on_actions file that will trigger an event for every country on a seperate date

[high silo]

so just make it if it's January second to trigger the event?

[umbral karma]

gimme a sec i am coding something to help you out

[high silo]

why 2 dates?

[umbral karma]

just try it

[umbral karma]

and?

[high silo]

it didnt pop up

[umbral karma]

here

i updated your event, so it should work now, and i created on actions file that starts the timer for event to pop, if the timer is off for a day or 2, you can manually change the months and days in the file at months = (number) and at days = (number), and if you need to set it to be really precise, like hour precise, you can just set hours = (number)

oh and you can rename on actions file to anything you want, but you need to keep that 00_on_actions part at the end

[high silo]

i think it required a type for the event

[umbral karma]

?

your event is a major so it is a news event

[umbral karma]

idk why it is telling you this error, try to run it, see what happends

[high silo]

it worked, let me tweak it

[umbral karma]

let it run for some time to see if you get multiple events, oh and cause you set is_major = yes those are all news events, if you want for this to be country specific remove is_major = yes and change all news_event to country_event in on actions file

[high silo]

can you do negative effects by just putting a negative number?

[umbral karma]

where?

in national spirits

[high silo]

modifiers

[umbral karma]

you mean "ideas"?

or?

[high silo]

modifiers
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

[umbral karma]

oh you mean variables

[high silo]

yes

[umbral karma]

yea they can be negative, but depending what you wish to do, it could be easier to just create a national spirit

[high silo]

but the thing isnt for long

just a year then ends

[umbral karma]

you can create a national spirit that after a nation receives it, you can set how long you want it to last

[high silo]

this is balanced

[high silo]

now imma make a map that is today

i have a question
units past the _alt_3 tag wont appear
as an example:

"USA_battleship_1_alt_1_entity"
"USA_battleship_1_alt_2_entity"
"USA_battleship_1_alt_3_entity"

but
"USA_battleship_1_alt_4_entity"
"USA_battleship_1_alt_5_entity"
does not
and btw
there are no pathing issues

How to get a tag from a country that owns Defined state

I wanna get a tag of a 608 state owner, for showing up his tag in gui

            beijing_controller = {
                image = [QUB.GetFlag]
            }
            nanjing_controller = {
                image = [QUB.GetFlag]
            }
            canton_controller = {
                image = [QOJ.GetFlag]
            }
        }```
I already have this, but i need to do more dynamic

[pale sparrow]

608.owner.GetFlag I guess you need

[noble tulip]

In []?

[pale sparrow]

yup

[noble tulip]

Thanks for the answer, I'll check tomorrow

<@&846894118219022336>

[toxic mason]

why does the game just say “this mod was made for another version” instead of actually telling you what version it supports because the vast majority of mods dont tell you what version they support

[lofty plaza]

It should if you hover over it

[umbral karma]

because every time you update the mod, you need to go to mods config and change the supported game version number if the current game version is 1.15.2 and you write 1.15.2 it wont display the message, but if a mod dev gets lazy and just writes 1.15 then the game will tell you that it was made for another version, most of the time it is nothing to be worried about

[covert mirage]

guys it is possible to use triggers in an option for an event? to yk, make it so effects are diffrent if something happens

[pale sparrow]

yes

Either you unlock entirely new options with a trigger block on the event option

or you just put an if-statement inside the event

[covert mirage]

aaa

alr thx

[high silo]

I'mma add a German tech tree with 4 main trees

1. Democratic Reforms
2. Oppose Merkel
3. Economic Improvements
4. The Re-militarization of Germany

any ideas in different names?

although my art is crappy

I guess splicing up pictures is fine

[high silo]

well
art is a problem

[ancient vapor]

Tech tree? Don't you mean focus tree?

[high silo]

well nearly same thing

[ancient vapor]

No wth, anyway, you mentioned Merkel, so it's a modern day mod?

[high silo]

ja

first ever realistic history mod that can still be alt-history

[ancient vapor]

Alr let me think

[high silo]

you can select the historical setting in vanilla right?
well this one is backed up by actual history in the modern age

while the non-historical path is just randomness

[ancient vapor]

1. Expand the Demokratie
2. No fifth term
3. New industrial buildup
4. Das Deutsch Bundeswehr/ Dark times coming

These are terrible

See if you like them

[high silo]

I'll take the third one and fourth

1. Democratic Reforms
2. Oppose Merkel
3. German Industrial Revolution
4. Das Neu Deutsch Armee (The New German Army)

[ancient vapor]

Sounds fair

How do I add construction speed as a effect when I complete a focus? I cant find it in the hoi4 wiki in effects

[covert mirage]

only way u can get construction is through national spirits

not effects

u can instantly getting buildings tho

if thats what u meant

[deft aurora]

thanks

How do I make the focus multiple words and not with a _ ?

[covert mirage]

im not rlly sure abt that one

[deft aurora]

alr

Also, if I want to add infrastructure as an effect of a focus, how do I choose witch province/state it should go to?

[high silo]

find the state id you want to put the infrastructure in using debug mode and add your infrastructure there

[deft aurora]

How do I do that in the code

[high silo]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Building_modding

[deft aurora]

How do I lower the consumer goods factor as an effect on completing a national focus?

[lapis flume]

-0.1 would be -10.00%

oh wait nvm im dumb i realized what u want now

the only possible way i could think of that is through a national spirit

nothing else would make sense

[velvet spear]

Hey guys, I'm having problems with my nudge tool, is this the chat where people ask for help with that?

[mortal pilot]

i messed with the nudge tool

now my whole game is broken

how do i reset it

i tried reinstalling the game

[velvet spear]

How is the game broken? What did you do with the nudge tool?

[mortal pilot]

i tried messing up with states

[velvet spear]

Like, changing their provinces around?

[mortal pilot]

yeah

[velvet spear]

Ok, I see, go to Documents > Paradox Interactive > Hearts of Iron IV in your file explorer

In there you should see folders named "history", "localization", and/or "map"

Do you see them?

You there?

[mortal pilot]

oh it's fixed

tnx

[velvet spear]

👍

[ancient vapor]

I might try that as well

I literally can't play vanilla

Only with Map changing mods ever since I started my mod

[velvet spear]

You can't play vanilla because you don't like it or because something got messed up?

I'm confused.

[jade rampart]

Does anyone do mod commisions?

Itd be something basic like some AI behavior adjustments

[mortal pilot]

i'm trying to make a decision to change the country name by adding a cosmic tag

it works but the decisions doesn't really show the new name in the decision itself

it just repeats the current name

[covert mirage]

not here necessirialy, but ive seen people doing mod commisions on those service websites

on Fiverr

[jade rampart]

Thank you

[umbral karma]

haha so i went through one of my mods "Greater Ambitions" to see how many lines of code i created, i have currently 2k lines of Events, 5.1k lines of Decisions, 600 lines of Ideas, and 7.5k lines in Albanias Focus Tree.

[velvet spear]

Oh boy, at least it's tidy.

[high silo]

when hoi5 uses lua to mod

[glass acorn]

So uh... did PDX break the nudger again?

For some reason the database editor decided to just make like a thousand unneeded provinces

[velvet spear]

Maybe your map has more colors than it should?

Check the configuration on your map editor

[glass acorn]

It worked fine before

So idk why it does it now

I deleted em and it had no effect sooo...

[velvet spear]

Use the RGB in the definition to find the colors and correct them

If it doesn't work, maybe your file is being exported in the wrong format

What editing software do you use?

[glass acorn]

I never used an editing software, I used the ingame Nudger

I reset the bitmap to re-configure the terrain

[glass acorn]

And these all are dark colors, my province map has none

At most there'd be dark blue but those unknown values would be black

[velvet spear]

Huh, the nudger can do that? I didn't know.

It's probably faulty then.

Those ocean provinces are really small.

[glass acorn]

I mean yeah in terms of vanilla the map's tiny

[velvet spear]

Can the game take a map that small?

Maybe that's why it's having problems

[glass acorn]

If you're asking about Province limits, it's way below the max

So no, size isn't the issue

[velvet spear]

Oh no, I mean the size of the picture itself.

[glass acorn]

It just has to be in intervals of 64x

The base map is 5632x2048

Smaller maps do?

[glass acorn]

Which is intervals of 64

5632 = 88
2048 = 32

[velvet spear]

Yes, yes, I know

Dude...

If my map didn't work, it wouldn't have been running for like nearly a year 😭

Oh boy, I feel your pain.

Everything will be alright, it always works out.

[lofty violet]

hi, im pretty new to modding (working on my first mod rn) and was having some issues with finding the file that lets me change the names of both winston churchill and the leader of anarchist spain. Not doing anything crazy, just trying to change names for a mod with friends (I am not experienced in coding at all if its something to do with that)
Any help is much appreciated!!!

[glass acorn]

The Nudger picking the literal worst, most abominable naval base spawns:

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-chemistry-experiment-scientific-walter-white-gif-17820266

[velvet spear]

Sure, let us know your questions here.

[velvet spear]

The amount of times they placed a naval base on top of another one it's longer than the universe.

[lofty violet]

I guess my first question would be if they are in some file that is not obvious, most of the names I have changed have been from changing the names in the localisation>english>.yml files using notepadd++

[velvet spear]

Uh, as far as I remember the names can be selected in both the localization file or the character file.

Like, the one that you use to create the character to begin with.

The localization file should override the character file when deciding how to name it.

[lofty violet]

im not entirely sure how to navigate the character file

ive just been renaming characters in the game and changing their pictures, so I dont know how to create a character

[velvet spear]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKLkI1AGArc&ab_channel=TheIronWorkshop

[lofty violet]

ill give it a watch, thank you!

[velvet spear]

Good luck fellow general.

[high silo]

does anyone here have a list of german generals
need to add them for my mod

realism matters

[velvet spear]

Like, real life?

[umbral karma]

i know, and i plan to keep it like that

[velvet spear]

Good, good, first thing you need to do as a programmer.

[high silo]

do you know why germany takes over austria when i start my mod scenario?

in the nudge its fine

[velvet spear]

Is your Germany democratic?

[high silo]

yes

[velvet spear]

In the base game there is an event where a democratic Germany may do a referendum in Austria to unite the countries.

You'll need to disable that event.

[high silo]

i changed the focus tree

[velvet spear]

It's not through a focus tree, I think is through a decision.

[high silo]

i just copied germany history file and adjusted stuff

[velvet spear]

Oh, wait, without starting the game?

[high silo]

yeah
