Done thanks

@pale sparrow It worked thanks but I got another issue here which is the picture on event pop up its a wrong picture and in my national spirits I still have underlines and it the icon is ?

I used sprite names

picture = gfx_report_event_PER_persepolis_party

Like this

[pale sparrow]

It might be case sensitive, usually GFX is in big letters

https://yard1.github.io/HoI4-GFX-Search/

you can find vanilla event image IDs here

[latent mountain]

I made a on_action file and this was the code

on_actions = {
    on_game_start = {
        effect = {
            if = {
                limit = { tag = PER }
                country_event = { id = mod_event.1 }
            }
        }
    }
}

And it didn't work when I loaded a new save

And the error log had nothing about it

[north wave]

try this instead
effect = {
TAG = {
country_event = {
id = random_events.22
days = 512

under the effects

[latent mountain]

Should I put days value into 0? because I wanted to pop up as soon as game loads

[north wave]

I guess so

try it

[slender kayak]

Is it hard to make a mod?

[latent mountain]

Didn't work

[latent mountain]

No not that much

At least till now for me lol

[latent mountain]

I think I should say that its kind ez if you want to learn making a mod but actually making the mod could be hard depending on what mod you wanna make

[subtle grove]

not sure if i should be asking here, but is there a mod that allows ALL nations to be buffed? since rn only major nation buffs exist n i wanna play as a small country n mess around without having to do much

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56

Unless you want to buff every AI country then maybe just play an easier/harder difficulty

[subtle grove]

i just saw a video on that lol but idk how it really helps with what i want, does it literally just allow me to cheat with smaller countries or what

[pale sparrow]

You can buff yourself with it yeh

[subtle grove]

aight, imma download it, try and do it myself and come back if i need help

[pale sparrow]

You can also look into difficulty settings but buff I think does more yeh

[subtle grove]

lol i just tried italy with max nation buff and took over all of africa despite barely knowing how to move my troops

[rare grove]

ah the napoleonic wars is returning

[north wave]

and have you fixed the crash issue

[torn crystal]

yes, i had to give all the congo states to the congo tag

[north wave]

lol

are you the only dev in ur project?

[subtle grove]

I think ive downloaded rt56 but i cant find out how to buff myself, any help would be appreciated lol

[pale sparrow]

Bottom right gamerules

there should be a long list of countries you can buff

[subtle grove]

alright yeah you're probably right, im not sure if i have downloaded it since in game rules there is only main country buffs, plus there is no "focus tree selection" and my pc only downloaded 409mb instead of the advertised 1.3gb of the mod

not sure though since it says paradox studios in main menu, which im pretty sure created rt56

ive already redownloaded the mod 3 times earlier b4 you ask

[pale sparrow]

nah

main menu should be different

[subtle grove]

this is what my menu looks like rn

[pale sparrow]

Thats without mods

Road to 56 also disabled the ad

[subtle grove]

is there an ingame setting to enable the mod or smt

not sure what im doing wrong lol

[pale sparrow]

Nope

all in launcher

make sure its in your playlist

[subtle grove]

the only options for playset are initial playset and no mods

[pale sparrow]

make a new playset

and put it in that

[subtle grove]

alright thanks, im slow in the head so the patience is appreciated

hopefully it works this time

oh its working tysm

[slender kayak]

Is making a mod that is about a movie/game hard?

[latent mountain]

What do you mean? if its a complicated one It can be hard and time consuming maybe after you learn modding its easy but its still gonna be time consuming if its a big mod

[torn crystal]

any idea how to make a ticking decision and show the amount of days itll take for it to fire in a national spirit?

[north wave]

those are missions

[torn crystal]

what about displaying the days till it executes in a national spirit?

[covert knoll]

hi guys, really new to moddig, im trying to make a mod that basically changes countries colors, i started off of germany, created commons and countries folders, copied Germany.txt and pasted it in my folder, changed the colors (photo below) but when i start the game nothing seems to change, i tried using chatgpt for help but nothing changed, any ideas?

[misty heath]

hey does anyone know where i can find alt history mods like kiaserriech and TNO?

[thin rune]

Steam workshop

[misty heath]

do you know what specifically i should download? im new to mods and steam workshop so idk which is which tbh

[thin rune]

The mod that you want

You search up the new order and probably the first thing that pops up is the mod you want

[harsh dagger]

Would I be able to replace communism with a different ideology?

essentially rename it and change the icon and subideologies

or is there a way to remove ideologies?

or hide them?

[jagged mica]

Hello all,

I'am playing as Greece and i got 8 times a refusal of Great Britain on the GRE_invite_entrepreneurs_for_investment_talks_in_capital decision

Seems a lot as each refusal gets me -5% stability

Looking into the code of the event i see that ENG has 5 times more chance to choose the refusal option if it has less than 15 available civilian factories.

In which case the AI, or any player, would keep 15 unused factories ? Seems this will never end in a success

Am i reading someghint wrong ?

option = {
name = bftb_greece.173.a
ai_chance = {

}
add_timed_idea = {

Hiya
Im trynna make an alt history map and how could i make it so that Sudan is "properly" released as an independent country to 1936 map.. I have tried many things but i always run to the same issue of that Sudan is always missing a country leader and it has an void ideology pie chart, and its driving me nuts!

[misty heath]

Trying to play TNO with my potato computer, if I don’t respond back by tomorrow please leave flowers at my funeral 💔

Okay I haven’t blown up ywt

Can anyone guide me through TNO?

[trim galleon]

One thing i can say is that prepare to read alot

[misty heath]

How much

Do I have to read college essays

[trim galleon]

Ive heard its like a visual novel.. Dont know if its that true, but thats what ive heard before

[misty heath]

Hmmm

Okay

I’m lowkey still fairly new to HOI4 so I hope I can do it

And not get nuked immediately or smth

[trim galleon]

And "united iberia" is still gonna have an civil war also. As is spains fate in every mod it seems

[misty heath]

Gotchu

[trim galleon]

And prepare also for economy screen with gdp, deficit, debt, inflation, spending

[misty heath]

So what you’re saying is

I’m about to get absolutely overloaded with stuff as a fairly new player

[trim galleon]

And in my opinion god awful ui skin

[misty heath]

Welp

They never said hoi4 mods would be player friendly

[trim galleon]

Here is an preview for economy screen

This pic is from three years ago

[misty heath]

Brother

What am I even looking at

Do you need to have a masters in economics or smth

To even click on the Econ screen

[trim galleon]

Spending gives debuffs or buffs depending on funding amount to selected sector

And you also have money?? If i rememebr correcrly too to spend

The world is in chaos and the only mercy left is of the cleansing fires of "heavens"

[trim galleon]

And if you olay Burgundy, youll come to see in terms of econmoy you dont have one. Instead you have work camps and slave labor(?) dont remmebr the latter one since i havent played tno in few years but yeah

[misty heath]

This sounds

So fun

Currently reading the essays of the nations bios to see who to play as

[trim galleon]

If you play germany ||Civil war heads up||

[misty heath]

So who should I play as first

Who’s the most player friendly one to get the ropes of the game

Or the mod

[trim galleon]

I dunno really.. I played russia first withput looking if its even agood friendly one to start with

[misty heath]

There’s the main powers and like 100 minor nations

[trim galleon]

Russia is balkanized

[misty heath]

Lowkey might go with the USA

Just bcus

[trim galleon]

Usa is a good pick, since its distance and reletive safety

And if one goes to war with major power, they can choose to launch nukes so..

[misty heath]

Are they actually useful

Or are they like base game

[trim galleon]

I dont rememebr anymore

And dont worry about nuclear apocolypse since the nukes arent the irradieating ones we nowdays have so humans can quite switftly get back up again on their feet from the ashes

But when it or if it happens its basicly just reading

[misty heath]

Got it

[trim galleon]

And also the peeps in Burgundy are like ultra deranged ss people and so messed up that even nazi germsny is freaked out by them

[misty heath]

Yeahhh

I took one look at hinerich being the leader of it and I said nope I’m good

[trim galleon]

And Burgundias have an deranged/schizo plan ||to build lots of bunkers (which many of them may or may not work even) and to atart the nuclear apocalypse so the world is cleanesed so that its their so called "superior aryan race" can rise and rebuild the world||

[misty heath]

Oof….

[trim galleon]

Burgundian shadow state used to have a world wide spy network game mechanic with their slimy tendrills all over the world with spies everywhere to manipulate and push the nuclear apocalyose into happening

And the reason they domt have an economy ||(instead its replased with slave labour and work camps mechanic. And the slaves were people they deemed "lesser", whp can also rebel and start an civil war if not dealt with)|| is because they are apocalypse prepping the whole time while also stockpiling nukes

[lucid garnet]

What was wrong with Great War Redux? I heard a while back that there were some issues.

Also what are the benefits between the great war and the redux versions?

[slender kayak]

I am planning to make a mod that I want to be added in the game in the future

[lucid garnet]

How is TWR -666.1MB?

[nimble solar]

Wait, wasn't that the whole point of playing them in TNO

Pretty sure they are getting rid of burgundy as well if I remember correctly

Wasn't the point of TNO to show how the nazis would collapse in on themselves

[merry ocean]

thats complicated

[pale sparrow]

Both versions are quite scripted

[pale sparrow]

Launcher has frequent glitches like this

[bleak plank]

I hope one thing that the makers of the game build a mod for people who don't know much about all those options For example, I mention a basic idea if you press that button and you get that everything is filled in for you

[north wave]

Ok

so

do you have states category on your mod

[trim galleon]

Well, i have managed to get idelogy and it to be properly be/exist on the map, but now i have no country leader or any advisors or military staff in it

[north wave]

you need to make characters file

in the common

there are tutorials for it

I suggest u watching it

[trim galleon]

Well its there

[north wave]

ok head to the original paradox files

[trim galleon]

In there

[north wave]

click in the common file

then characters

randomly copy one among them

I suggest netherlands or denmark because it's not really complicated

[trim galleon]

I opened the character file and noticed that all the tags inside the txt are SUD instead of new sudan tag i made SDR. So if i change every SUD wuth SDR would it work?

[north wave]

don't change it with anything rn

just randomly copy a file in there

and paste it to your mod's character file

then change its tag to the country you want to make

[trim galleon]

Now the den charcter file is there, with SDR tag name replacement

[north wave]

Ok

Now

Click in the file

Look for the ones that has "country_leader" trait

[trim galleon]

okay, what then?

[north wave]

Look for the guy named as thorvald

[trim galleon]

well he is the first one

[north wave]

He's the leader of the denmark at the beginning

Ok

So hes automatically assigned as leader of the country

Once the game starts

So replace his name id with something you want to change

[trim galleon]

So i change it to like SDR_ Pending_Later

[north wave]

Well you can give him an actual name

Otherwise it would be a bit complicated

[trim galleon]

well, i came with temporary name of SDR_Toimi_Jokio

[north wave]

Ok

Now

Open history files then countries of SDR

Then do this

recruit character = SDR_Toimi_Jokio

[trim galleon]

Its done now

[north wave]

Ok

See if its done

On the game

[trim galleon]

Well i opened game and it says no commander and blank portait on Sudan Socialist Resistance

weird

[north wave]

Is the leader coded for democratic

[trim galleon]

oh crap its neutrall so of cource nothing shows lmao

[trim galleon]

i used command and switched to democracy, but nope still

[north wave]

Is debug mod on right

[trim galleon]

i feel like there is something wrong with the files or txts

[trim galleon]

it is, debug mode in starting command line -debug is there

[north wave]

aa

lemme look

[thin rune]

Its not that complicated honestly

[torn crystal]

why do i get this after i restart my game with my mod?

like, i start a campaign and then exit to menu

[obsidian dune]

im pretty sure nudger is extremely unreliable

i would not recommend using it at all tbh

[torn crystal]

manually assigning states makes me wanna gouge my eyes out

[slender mason]

how do i get rid of the errors when i create a new state?

it says smth like “game will crash”

[slender mason]

i have that same issue lol

[slender mason]

what should we use?

[kindred axle]

validate states using the "nudge!"

if you dont know how to do it go to the first map modding epsidoe of the hoi4 channel on yt

it will explain you how to map mod with the nudge

[kindred axle]

did you copy and paste the new states and modified states from the documents/paradox/hoi4/history/states

you gotta add both new and modified states

• buildings

(aka state validation)

[swift field]

im gonna make and add a LOT of RANGER TEMPLATES

[swift field]

and a LOT of ranger assault sturmtruppen and sturmzug units and templates

[molten pike]

Is there a mod that adds focused, tech etc. for the Cold War age without forcing u to start in the Cold War.

So I can still do all the WW2 stuff but than continue the play through into the cold war without just having nothing to research or do

[lone hearth]

You can edít the states with nudger

But make sure that you only copy the provinces section

As the Nudger tool is broken since Goetterdaemmerung

(I mean it is broken since Wtt but was still usable before GD)

[lone hearth]

RT56 and Rise of Nations are the only ones I can think of

[molten pike]

Thx

[torn crystal]

yeah

[torn crystal]

oh i see

[torn crystal]

how do you add new states then?

[lone hearth]

You can add them like before

Just move the new state files into your mod

and give them the history section, state cat, manpower etc etc

[rare grove]

I'll need to make so countries never surrender is there a way to make so they never do? Or at least surrender at 100% surrender progress?

[torn crystal]

you can give them more surrender limit

[rare grove]

As in to every country

[torn crystal]

youd have to give them all a national idea with that

[rare grove]

Doesn't giving it to everyone sometimes not work because giving it to everyone only gives it to all the starting countries

[pale sparrow]

Correct, instead of doing every_country like you normally would, use every_possible_country

[rare grove]

Thanks

thanks i forgot to give that to some code

Ah thanks now the idea fully works

[kindred axle]

sikh empire mentioned 🔥

[rare grove]

It was there in 1789

[stiff ruin]

Is there any mods like rt56, in that it gives focus trees to many minor nations (only albania really matters), but without creating new states?

[molten pike]

Wondering, is there a mod that lets you plan wars with your allies?

So for example, planning D-Day with Britain so you both launch at once. I find it really Unimmersive and just annoying that you can’t do that

[heady glade]

are these visual mods or just the style of the mod you're playing?

[rare grove]

Napoleonic wars mod 1789-1836 it has the visual mod linked

[heady glade]

so just go to the mod page?

and it will be there

thanks

[gilded canopy]

hello i am learning about modding

[noble willow]

I tried playing British East India in that mod. It had no focus tree ☠️

[rare grove]

Why would india have a focus tree this early

Literally says in the description france Russia Prussia are playable

[old crystal]

mods for my alt history game

[heavy stump]

how do i fix this bug that i get when i strart the game with some mods?

[pale sparrow]

Are those mods up to date?

[heavy stump]

no but yesterday i runned them and it worked even if they were outdated cause of the version of the game

[cold fox]

Maybe a mod updated and that broke smth?

[plucky idol]

wat are the mods then?

[glass acorn]

Check any mods that change the map

If you have two mods that change the map in different ways, then the game breaks

[heavy stump]

thx, now it's fixed

[arctic mural]

Sheep’s mod

[arctic mural]

Does the mod work well with mp?

I could force my friends to play it

Sounds fun

[rare grove]

Pretty much only 1789-1800 france is 100% playable Russia and Prussia are manageable till 1800 to an extent

I would recommend checking out france first maybe looking at Russia Prussia focus trees and giving suggestions

[arctic mural]

Ok

[rare grove]

I need to finish 1789-1800 Prussia & Russia

I'm working on a new Neapolitan focus tree

Want to make it fun and a bit unrealistic

[formal crest]

Maybe I’m dumb but I’ve been playing Black Ice and I can’t seem to get above like 30ish org on infantry or armour even while applying radios, building them and researching the WW2 command HQ

Is that completely normal for this mod or am I doing something wrong

[latent mountain]

I resized this icon to 100x88 but the quality now sucks what should I do to fit it in focus tree icons and still have a good quality

[proven sage]

is there an opposite to "activation" like unactivation or something?

[hushed apex]

Are there mods that can make the Soviets also invade Poland?

[cold fox]

Pretty sure you can do that in the base game

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56

[pale sparrow]

They will eventually invade if Germany does nothing but they wont help like historically

[cold fox]

Ohh

[covert mirage]

guys does anyone know how i can make it so the category image is wide and on top here?

Yellow Canada btw

[haughty onyx]

Piss canada

[rare grove]

Dutch-Hanoverian Canada

so yes Piss Canada

[haughty onyx]

Why 1789?

[rare grove]

Napoleonic wars

[haughty onyx]

At that point just go play europa universalis

[rare grove]

its not about napoleonic wars

this is a modding channel btw

[haughty onyx]

my bad

[rare grove]

hm this blue is too similar to france

[crimson igloo]

I'm trying to figure out the official modding tutorial and, as embarrasing to say as it is, I got stuck on the second episode

If I'll send what I did so far, could somebody help me out?

I cannot even get the first event to run

[rare grove]

The Khanates brought back as puppets

what you trying to add?

[crimson igloo]

Me?

I'm trying to add just a basic event from the official tutorial

And I tried to start anew, and now I got a straightup error in the editor DESPITE IT BEING IDENTICAL

[rare grove]

you making an event that adds an idea?

[crimson igloo]

I guess

And during my first attempt, where I tried to be creative and not do 1:1 copy, but try and experiment with more things, I didn't get this error

But it doesn't matter, because it doesn't work once booted up

Is the official tutorial just total crap?

Or am I dull

[rare grove]

what the event look like?

[crimson igloo]

Like the tutorial one

[rare grove]

remove mean time to happen

[crimson igloo]

And now there's some localization errors, despite there being none prior and the file being untouched

[crimson igloo]

Why?

[rare grove]

only thing that doesnt work is localisation?

[crimson igloo]

No, nothing works

I boot up the game, and I can wait for 3 months straight and nothing happens

But the launcher registers the mod

[rare grove]

you got the text?

i could try fixing it

[crimson igloo]

Ok, now there's no issues

After I closed and opened

I absolutely don't get it

[crimson igloo]

Sure

The .mod files too?

[rare grove]

forgot this i think #is_triggered_only = yes

put that under picture

[crimson igloo]

Seriously??

The guide shows it and then erases it

I thought this was purposeful

https://youtu.be/BuIycVRxrO4?list=PL6EAZcF5cWbg57Srq6BTVvguMl6YfP9pG&t=355

He says "you can have either [option a or option b]"

I thought it's mutually exclusive

[rare grove]

can the events have a different name from the namespace?

[crimson igloo]

No clue

I stared figuring out the guide today

[rare grove]

try changing so they are called joung_kormanist_league_creation

instead of istok

[crimson igloo]

Hmmm, I see

I'll try

OH MY GOD

IT WORKED

IT FRICKIN WORKED!!!

THANK YOU GUSTAV!!!

Great War Redux has post 1919 content

[glad dove]

Hello, I want to add new building - Field Airfield, which can be placed in any province of state, in 00_buildings.txt I add:

air_base_field = { show_on_map = 1 base_cost = 500 icon_frame = 5 air_base = yes value = 1 damage_factor = 0.5 allied_build = yes infrastructure_construction_effect = yes level_cap = { province_max = 2 } }

I can build it in game, but there is no airfield icon and I can't place planes here, how I can fix that?

[alpine sand]

yeah

but it isn´t really good

also you have to play atleast 5 years to reach the interwar period

[thin rune]

Well you didnt say that you want a historical mod..

whats the errror? i cant find it

[pale sparrow]

Youve overriden scripted triggers that the game still references

[slate breach]

bro where is the token

[rare grove]

yeah

you know where they are being referenced iyo?

game always crashes here

so i need to copy all the scripted triggers files and remove everything in them?

[pale sparrow]

Literally mentioned in the error

[rare grove]

i replaced common/military_industrial_organization too

[pale sparrow]

[rare grove]

i replaced common/special_projects and common/military_industrial_organization still errors appear for these two

its impossible to remove the crash

[rare grove]

i aint touching anything other than focus trees events countries decisions advisors ideas ideologies total conversion is impossible

[rare grove]

Theres not allot of errors good

[rare grove]

this good althistory focus for Russia?

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know if it's possible to activate mods without the hoi4 launcher?

I can't install it

I launch hoi4.exe directly

[real cape]

is there a mod where you can let ai have puppets? i want to make cool peace deals

[rare grove]

yeah theres allot of things i need to fix

the ai isnt taking these focuses due to not winning in italy

how to make so the ai goes to the padania and papal states strategic regions?

[livid locust]

Does anyone know why Tibet and Prussia did not change their names?

I Love You Thanks

[tribal trout]

Hey! does anyone has experience with the Sheeps mod ai, because i have a question about it?

Like when i startup the mod the only decision for customization, i have are "codes" like HLM Startup a,b and c

[livid locust]

Yeah, the problem is that when I change the name, it works for some countries but not for others.

[vale lily]

im changing the image for an MIO, is there a console command to reload without restarting the game

[shut zenith]

is there a way to have division names to use roman numerals insted of %d or numbers

[pale sparrow]

Yes

Something with %s apparently

[rare grove]

whats wrong with this code?

what else do i need to put there to make it impossible to declare war

[stiff ruin]

Is there any mods like rt56, in that it gives focus trees to many minor nations (only albania really matters), but without creating new states?

[pale sparrow]

There might be a dedicated Albania mod

I dont know a single mod that changes a lot of trees without also changing map

[stiff ruin]

I found one whicj looked good, but it added new states

[pale sparrow]

What sort of mod do you even want to use it with that you dont want map changes?

[pale sparrow]

the scripted triggers are already limit blocks, you shouldnt put random ones in there

[stiff ruin]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814391977
Albania can form rome

[rare grove]

ah thanks

[stiff ruin]

Other than the one which added states, the mods which comes up when i searched albania were either meme mods or severely outdated... modtly both

[pale sparrow]

Albania is harder than Luxembourgh to play Id imagine

[stiff ruin]

Probably, but the idea of Zog being the roman emperor is just funnier

I would just rush forming illyria, then go for roman macedonia, from there just expand

[rare grove]

uhhh they still work

how to fix

i want it to be 100% impossible to boost coup or declare war without focuses/events to prevent exploits

[pale sparrow]

Check 00_diplo_action_valid_triggers

You can completely disable the actions there instead of making them unavailable

[rare grove]

so i just put them there instead?

[pale sparrow]

No

Look at the vanilla file

[rare grove]

this is whats in the file

[pale sparrow]

Copy that into your mod and replace the NOT = { has_dlc = ... with always = no

[covert mirage]

guys question

does someone know where in the hoi4 game files is the part of ai that basically tells it "okay, as time passes, make new division templates" located in?

[rare grove]

25% of the complaints about hoi4 mods is them being too realistic

Gotta add holy roman Empire formable to Greece papal states Naples Albania and Sardinia-piedmont or smth

[balmy crown]

I apparently did something wrong, and now all my states are just "State_13", "State_572", etc., even when I unload my mod. Anyone know how to fix it?

[rare grove]

do you have anything in paradox_interative/heartionsofiron4/localisation?

[balmy crown]

huh

well that'd do it

[pale sparrow]

common/ai_templates

[covert mirage]

alr thx

[umbral fern]

How do you remove that start date?

[rare grove]

how to make an ai strategy?

the french ai sucks at attacking or even defending italy

[pale sparrow]

Edit the GUI file to move the 1939 one off-screen

[umbral fern]

Cheers mate

[paper valley]

So i watched the hoi4 guide and made a militia template for a civil war, but it tells you how you can have it be there at the start. I want to make the division pop up in an event and i want the template to be hidden until that event too

ok i might know what to do

i looked at a german focus

[paper valley]

well actually i still dont know what to do i did the template part but im not sure how to spawn them

[remote wave]

militia template is auto-created for you at start of civil war

you cant edit it either i dont think

only way to get your own template through is to train some beforehand but dont deploy so then you can deploy them at the start of the civil war

[woven fossil]

Question: Can you use the same tag for two different nations? Like one nation called [Hippogriffian Naval Command] and the other, [Southwest Zebrican Authority] if the two nations won't exist at the same time?

[paper valley]

i dont think so

like in console commands “setowner TAG” It wouldn’t be able to tell i dont think the game would let you

[woven fossil]

I literally saw it happening in TFR

[ripe cedar]

hello guys is there a mod where i can kinda just play a warlord in the fractured soviet union without starting a world war when i invade the second 2 tile country with 2 factories?

[cold fox]

Tno

Also RP releasable states sort of

[green raft]

road to 56 has a fractured soviet union as an option. Have not played it yet.

[cold fox]

Thats also in the base game i think and is just the vanilla releasables

[ripe cedar]

thanks i saw a vid about that mod seemed nice

[ripe cedar]

yes but if i invade more than one of them the uk guarantees everybody and it pisses me off

[green raft]

It is. But with generic tree. Road to 56 adds new trees

[cold fox]

Thats… the same in rt56 pretty sure…

[cold fox]

Hm, still think for a real war lord vanilla experience rp releasable states is the better option

Since it prevents the different war lords from joining factions or being guranteed

[ripe cedar]

does it really?

[cold fox]

Yes

It can get kind of weird tho, since the other ais all get war goals on each other and often refuse to swallow the entire country and leave a bit behind for some reason

[dapper jolt]

you can also just make the 1939 file empty

works too

[pale sparrow]

It skips the scenario selection screen which is buggy

[dapper jolt]

is it? i've never run into an issue

[obtuse condor]

Ive never heard of most of those arguments

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Building_modding

[slim geyser]

Uh and what do i have to change there?

[pale sparrow]

Read the wikipage

It could be incomplete or outdated, but that code looks like its made up by ChatGPT

[slim geyser]

It was made up by ChatGPT since i have no coding knowledge but i just wanted to make a simple mod that makes dockyards independent buildings so island nations like japan, Italy, uk etc have space that isn't occupied by factories leaving no space for dockyards yknow

[pale sparrow]

Thank god, I was thinking it was hilariously bad

[slim geyser]

lmao i'll take that as a compliment

[pale sparrow]

Just take a look at the preexistent buildings

they give good cues on how to format it

[slim geyser]

I see but my thought was making a building independent like how radars, AA, airfields are would make the dockyard locked to a limit and i also wouldn't want a nation like norway that would only have like 2 building slots at the very top of their nation be capable to have 10 dockyard which would be unrealistic so i also wanted to make it based on the available building slots the state has

hence why this horrible codr came out as an result

But i'll take a look thanks for the advice

[restive torrent]

Thank you kind sir

Red Dusk is fun

There is proxy wars to do things with

MD takes place in a time of peace between majors

And HOI4 is a total war game

[woven fossil]

I just finished my USSR game a day ago with a two years long war against Dengist China. Tons of wins, tons of loses

[nimble solar]

Where unconditional surrender is the way to win

[woven fossil]

It was so fun but man, I was overwhelmed

[nimble solar]

I played Reformist USSR in Red Dusk and it went well and won all the proxies

[woven fossil]

and everytime I try to go to war with my break away states or Eastern Europe, I alway have to delay cuz another civil war just started

I played Hardline USSR and two of my commie friends (im commie myself) went apeshit when I tried to ease the tension between The East and The West

[tawdry kestrel]

nah its good

[tawdry kestrel]

i tried winning as iraq

and i got cooked

[nimble solar]

Did it go well

Ah

Got 2003d basically

Wanna see the world in my Red Dusk USSR game? it is finished

[nimble solar]

I assume Red from the Atlantic to the Pacific?

[woven fossil]

ITs the opposite for me, Bashar's Iran was so useless, I almost pop blood vessals when trying to save his ass

[tawdry kestrel]

how did you kill iran????

[nimble solar]

It was peace in the middle east in my game

[tawdry kestrel]

like i swear my industry is cooked and i never have a airforce

[nimble solar]

Sauds won against Egypt. Iran and Saudia Arabia proceeded to do nothing afterwards

Iran killed Iraq

[woven fossil]

I did not go to war over the Turkish Incident cuz I did not think I was ready to fight NATO

[nimble solar]

Here was the US game I was proud of https://youtu.be/Vz_QirgkMRU

[nimble solar]

No WW3? RIP

[tawdry kestrel]

should i declare war on nato

or do i make another army

[nimble solar]

Why is Belgium chilling in the Shanghai Pact

[woven fossil]

I also hesitant to fight Dengist China cuz I thought I was not ready but that war was pretty easy. The casualties were like;

Soviet casualties: 456k
Chinese casualties: 4.5 Million

[tawdry kestrel]

they joined csto...

[nimble solar]

Funny

That's what they get for turning against NATO lol

[tawdry kestrel]

the ai got goofy

[tawdry kestrel]

but it might be me switching to russia and anexxing kaz and belarus to make it prettier

[tawdry kestrel]

i feel like the ai goes overboard with the divisons tho

they have like 101010101010 divisons per province

[woven fossil]

BRUH

This server is 1984

[woven fossil]

Technically my game was kinda cheated in two times

Indochina War: Laos People's Republic collapsed and that mad me so mad so much cuz I have been fighting in that war for so long so I kinda cheated there
Soviet-Chinese War: I was at The Yellow War and I was going to win but apparently this war has a hidden timer which I did not knew about so the war just ended. I was already losing my mind cuz it was 7am (I did not sleep) and I was listening to the same song the whole time so I used console command to declar war on China, moved their troops from the cities then cap China by the TP command

Finally

[nimble solar]

Anything to have fun in a singleplayer game i suppose

[woven fossil]

Anyways, my own submod has tons of stuff that have been....I dont know the word

Like some of the stuff in my submod, I got the idea from The New Order and The Fire Rises

[nimble solar]

2 sane mods... okay

[woven fossil]

Yea

My idea for these nations;

Zebrican Naval Command
1st Griffionian Blue Army Group
22nd Zebrican Blue Army
36th Zebrican Blue Army

were from both TFR and TNO

I just love when nations are just organizations and not actually nations

like that United Nation Mission in Flordia nation

[sturdy galleon]

hey folks! I've been wanting to get into modding for hoi4 for some time, can you suggest some good places to start learning and also some of the skills (like programming, design) i may need? 🙂

[warped wing]

I would suggest the mod guides on the official hoi4 YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6EAZcF5cWbg57Srq6BTVvguMl6YfP9pG&si=ID3akt_TFpwb1E6R

Basic understanding of programming is helpful

[sturdy galleon]

any language in particular?
i have some experience in C and python but not much object oriented

[warped wing]

From what I understand hoi4 is based in a language very similar to c++ but you don’t need to know c++ to mod hoi4. when modding it is important to know that you aren’t coding you are modifying the game. Everything you can do is already in the game and you don’t actually do anything with the games code. Modding hoi4 is text based but it can be helpful to know how to format that text, so it is at least a little helpful to have general knowledge of programming.

[sturdy galleon]

right
thanks!

i guess the design part really comes after a foundation, i can't really make any iconography yet

[warped wing]

This is a lot to say you don’t need a lot of programming knowledge you just need to know basic knowledge of how programming is formatted. Thought even that can be learned from looking at the pre-existing text files in the game

[sturdy galleon]

hmmm thats good to hear

[rare grove]

do extra country tags actually slow a mod down? even if they arent being used on the map? what would happen if you delete 200 country tags would that make the game faster?

my mod has 675 tags would making so its 200 or less make it way faster?

guys i need serious help

so recently this computer told me to backup files in onedrive so i did it

but i saw my files vanishing so i immedietally stopped it and recovered the files

the problem is that now the mod that i made WONT work, saying the file does not exist.

But the file is over here without any problems (the file is Project_Ska)

I tried moving the files to other files and moving them back again but it sadly wont work

and this happened with other steam worskhop mods also

i currnetly use windows 10

the files inside (the ones with the codes) open with no problems

but the game for some reason does not recognize it?

[pale sparrow]

Uninstall it if youre not using it, annoying bloatware

[pale sparrow]

Try clearing the launcher settings files in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/

Extension .sqlite or something

[azure elk]

can you please be more specific?

im really new to this

[azure elk]

idk why but i seem to also have a copy of it. Do i delete both of them?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[azure elk]

aight

[azure elk]

i also have a backup, do i also deleted this?

[pale sparrow]

Yeh you can trash all the .sqlite's

they dont store anything important afaik

[azure elk]

ok great

let me see if it fixes eomthing

[azure elk]

nope, still the same

everything else (worshop mods) works fine

[pale sparrow]

Try closing the launcher
Moving the folder somewhere else
Launching the launcher and letting it run for a moment
Then closing the launcher and putting it back

oops there is literally a mods_registry.json I forgot about

[azure elk]

what is that?

[azure elk]

same result...

[pale sparrow]

Another launcher settings file

Try clearing the registry json too

[azure elk]

every json file?

[pale sparrow]

Only mod_registry

Worst case, just create a new mod and copy over all the contents

[azure elk]

ok then

[azure elk]

i see no mod_registry

[pale sparrow]

Odd, nvm then ig

[azure elk]

well then i see no option than just making the mod again

I'm trying to shift away from plain laurels and backgrounds [like pics 1 and 2]
into stuff more dynamic [like 3 and 4]

[shut dawn]

Definitely good to experiment with new ideas and aesthetics.

[kindred axle]

Check if they are saved properly

[kindred axle]

[sturdy galleon]

[sturdy galleon]

1789-1800 france is 100% finished

[keen cloak]

I've played through the fascist path and here are my thoughts and some of the stuff I've found:

• Wales starts with essentially no technology and with 0/5 infrastructure. This makes the start a bit rough and since most nations with sea access have naval invasion unlocked, the assumption that Wales would have it too leads to disappointment when you are at war with Ireland but can't naval invade them

• "icon" and "Industrial Expansion" decisions do nothing while "Conquest of England" doesn't disappear after it grants the national spirit (it does after England is gone but since there is no England anymore, the national spirit should expire too. Also targeted modifiers could work better rather than flat attack bonus)

• While Celtic Empire annexes Ireland (and likely Scotland) it doesn't have any cores or flags

• "Raise Druidic Legions" creates duplicate templates every time it's used.

• Wales doesn't start with any standing army or template at the start of the game. UK also has 2 divisions inside Wales. Can be resolved by moving them in UK's OoB file

• Several focuses mention balance of power while it doesn't exist. Reunion with Britain mentions an event that doesn't exist as well

• "Self Sufficient Economy" requires "Synthetic Refineries" despite that being 3 focus above and the prerequisite focus not requiring it

• Flat political power gain is significantly stronger than percentual, leads to +3.80 every day while taking a focus

• A LOT of off-map factories. "Total War Economy" grants 15 mils from a single decisions

• Professor Gareth Wyn doesn't have any effects as a theorist while several advisers have no icons

• no name list

• Instead of just choosing a path to go, it could be done so that you drive the nation instead. For example, let's say that there are upcoming elections and the focuses prior determine what you'll end up with and if if it leads to a deadlock, you can negotiate reuniting with the UK or becoming a monarchy. Shorter but more focuses.

kaiserreich on crack

[lapis flume]

not really since i dont know the context of what ur making

im confused about greece

they somehow kept land in turkey but lost macedonia to bulgaria

[tall hare]

Russia and German won ww1

I am working on it

Trust

[rare grove]

is there a way to make so the confederation of the rhine puppets have their own colour?

different from france even if they are puppets? without having to add 100 cosmetic tags

[tall hare]

ww1 and ottoman empire collapsing

[rose heath]

the border between Germany and France is way too round I hate it

it's so smooth

[harsh dagger]

What mod is used for the map texture?

and is it compatible with mods?

[rare grove]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2195406931&searchtext=old+map+Style

[harsh dagger]

Ohhh

I saw this a while back

Thanks

[tall hare]

how should I change it?

[harsh dagger]

Is there anything I should change about my portraits?

[rose dove]

Where can i assemble a hoi4 modding team

[tall hare]

Mostly historical tbh

[meager mortar]

any modern day mods that are not bloated like millenium dawn?

[cold fox]

The fire rises

[meager mortar]

Correct me if I'm wrong, the thing I heard a lot about the fire rises is that it's basically a story game in hoi4 format, i.e doesn't really play at all like hoi4

For example kaiserreich is still obviously hoi4 in its core, just a different setting, so is EaW. Is the fire rises like that too?

[nimble solar]

You are thinking of TNO

The Fire Rises is basically a schizo modern day mod

There is still quite a lot of combat

[meager mortar]

Ah okay, I'll try the fire rises, thanks you two

[cold fox]

I mean it def restricts the player from the sandbox hoi4 vanilla is, but makes up for it with nice and def schizo stories

[azure elk]

ok so uhhhhh

the thing is that my mod wont work

long story short:
onedrive backup system somehow flipped up my mod
made a new one and moved all the files
mod doesnt work (its just like vanilla)

[paper valley]

whats a good hoi4 mod im getting bored of kaiserredux

[cold fox]

See previous statement

Also collapsing world is good

[crystal jackal]

Equestria at War gameplay wise is very close to a vanilla playthrough with extra cold war tech for longer playsessions

Lategame doctrines, additional special projects, magical weaponry, etc

[inner marsh]

the fire rises

[nimble solar]

The Fire Rises is one of the most schizo mods I have ever played

Red Flood is also quite schizo as well

[lapis flume]

for like what, 3 accelerationist countries, not much

[lapis flume]

thousand week reich, roman world, empire into the orient

[lapis flume]

i guess it should zoom in more to the head

otherwise it will look too small ingame

it looks good tho

[harsh dagger]

Ok, will do tomorrow

[swift field]

how do i mod and add in more SPECIAL PROJECTS?

nvm

[heavy bobcat]

Any good modern war mods?

[deep carbon]

are there any rules for uploading mods onto the steam workshop of hoi4? is there a list

[warped wing]

What do you plan on posting

[warped wing]

https://legal.paradoxplaza.com/eula

Really best I can do

[slow aspen]

hi all

[inner marsh]

lil bro you literally can have an AI control america or china

[livid locust]

Does anyone know how to change the description of HOI4 leaders like Mussolini?

[tall hare]

Give me ideas for my mod if russia and germany won ww1 😎

[kindred girder]

Where could I find a Napoleonic mod?

[rare grove]

I'm making one

Trying to get france 100% complete by November 20th

[tawdry kestrel]

should i use the default tank template that the devs give me in fire rises>

?

[livid locust]

Anyone know how to change leader descriptions without owning the DLC? Like Benito or Stalin, for example.

[deep carbon]

well im a modder for a chinese mod set in ww2 so....yk where this is going

[warped wing]

yeah I would recommend you don't implement any death camps in Manchuria. anything more than a quick reference will probably get the mod reported

[worldly adder]

I’ve always imagined what a Pokémon HOI4 mod would be like.

[nimble solar]

EaW

But pokemon

[haughty onyx]

Great war redux oh modern day

Uhhh

Teh fallout mod

[restive torrent]

Holy moly! Thank you for the feedback dude, I shall have a look at those for a future update! Gotta get a doc together for that haha

[keen cloak]

you're welcome!

[restive torrent]

Yea I had some trouble with moving the uk units outside the border for some reason :/

[lapis flume]

can someone please help with this
these 3 events arent showing up but their effects are done normally, it will confuse the player

[fleet turtle]

I’m actually trying to make something like that, I know nothing about modding though, so it’ll be in dev forever😁

[lone hearth]

Where is the namespace

Add this on top of the fileadd_namespace = twrFSubmodFFR

[tall hare]

why wont belgium become a puppet of germany?

        set_autonomy = {
    target = BEL
    autonomous_state = autonomy_colony
    freedom_level = 0.5
    }

[lapis flume]

i already have it dw

the problem is in either

1. fire only once
2. is triggered only
3. the trigger itself existing
4. mean time to happen wasnt put in the code

[lone hearth]

1. not the problem, it can just fire once by the trigger itself

2. could be, bcs you need to execute the event by a command (country/news_event =)

3. naw

4. if nothing is there, it defaults to 20 (can be changed in defines)

[lapis flume]

the trigger is FRA = { has_global_flag = JuinFailed }

and the debug console even shows that the trigger worked and all but the event just doesnt show up

[lapis flume]

maybe that, ill see

[lone hearth]

remove it then

[lapis flume]

how will it fire then 💔

[lone hearth]

is_triggered_only = yes makes it so the event can only be launched by a country_event (or news_event) effect

In this case you want to do it with the trigger

So remove it as it defaults to no

[tall hare]

Tuff

Soon I will start working on other continents ♥️

[lapis flume]

very nice

also

slime out austria for keeping sudetenland please

(i know it was their actual territory but come on)

[lapis flume]

i didnt even have it, the only one i have is already set to no

anyways ill update u in a minute or two

just gotta get to the canon way in the gameplay

[tall hare]

Damn you thinking like that?

[lapis flume]

it still didnt fire.

😔

[lone hearth]

Also it could take like 20 days for the event to fire

[lapis flume]

i put mean time to happen days = 1

[lone hearth]

type this into console: event twrFSubmodFFR.2

If there is no event, there is bad code

[lapis flume]

its fine there

even the effects happened

just no pop up

[tall hare]

What mod?

[lapis flume]

thousand week reich

i made a submod for it

[tall hare]

whats the mod about?

[lapis flume]

reworking the french state, free france, and belgium

because for some reason the devs completely stripped france of its content

so im restoring stuff in a different way

[lapis flume]

unless u meant thousand week reich mod not submod

thats about what if no one won WW2

[tall hare]

both

oh

my mod is if germany and russia won ww1

[lapis flume]

oooh then it makes sense

i called it kaiserreich on crack for a reason

[tall hare]

yes

[meager mortar]

kaiserreich vs kaiserredux in terms of which one has better ottomans content?

[tall hare]

should I make a server for my mod?

[lapis flume]

if you want to

maybe it'll be big

[lapis flume]

kaiserredux since it adds a little content for egypt if the ottomans win

otherwise its the same focus tree

[meager mortar]

thanks twin
