[dapper parcel]

i see, thank you kindly!

[gray minnow]

Np, also R56 adds and reworks a lot of focus trees, some nations that had minimal or no focus trees now have one. You can do some really funny stuff

[dapper parcel]

Would you recomend any tutorials/guides on the basics/fundamentals of the game? I have been playing blindly lol

[pale sparrow]

Toolpack can do part of that

[gray minnow]

Which parts can it do?

[pale sparrow]

Transfer navy for sure

Can transfer resource rights but not directly factories, only by taking them somewhere and manually setting them back somewhere else

[gray minnow]

In my case a friend guided me how to do the basics. My recommendation is to find a good guide on YouTube, avoid the ones that teach you the meta straight away. You need to understand what makes something good first before jumping into meta

For example someone might show you a meta design but you won't know why it's good

[gray minnow]

Well that should do it, if I can simply remove like 2 dockyards and give them to another country that's fine for me. Can you give me a steam link please if you can?

[wind vector]

i'm currently translating a mod to Turkish and was trying to add the letters to the font (did everything that wiki said) but what i got in game was this mess. what could be the mistake?

[golden totem]

Honestly starting to realize the lack of some cities the usa doesnt have in the game

especially some state capitals not being in the game

[umbral charm]

Quick question. I have a focus that causes 2 events but I want 1 event to come a few days before the other. How can I do that?

Do as the man in the video does with all the same settings for GIMP

[thin plover]

I am trying to replace the 3d model (sprite?) used for paratroopers in a mod with the vanilla 3d model used for them (red beret, etc).

I can’t seem to find a straight-forward tutorial on doing this, and I’m struggling with understanding the files (I couldn’t find anything pertaining to paratrooper sprites).

[tough lotus]

For a real timeline extension Rise of Nations, Road to 56 is also pretty good a timeline extension

I played bice in mp once, we had a co-op for research

[pale sparrow]

See the effects wiki page, search country_event on there

[tough lotus]

Seems like you're looking for a host tool. Either of these will work, there probably are other good ones too

[deft inlet]

can somebody help me fix this error?? i legit got no idea

[pale sparrow]

Your map is completely messed up

[mint sage]

Hello I offer hoi4 custom mod creative and focus

[deft inlet]

i legit added a single province

[pale sparrow]

Im guessing you saved the file wrong perhaps

[deft inlet]

no color space 24 bit

i used html tho on that map

im gonna try with rgb this time

alright it worked the first time now i gave it an stragetic region and a state

no issuses this time

[tough lotus]

wrong channel

[warped jewel]

why is this happening

i added the gfx icon tho

it works in focus tree

[tough lotus]

Missing a shine probably

[warped jewel]

ive added the shine gfx too tho

[icy fable]

@deft inlet Did it work?

[deft inlet]

yea thank you

[frozen bobcat]

when will state mods come back? kovas sucks and vanilla sucks even more

[tough lotus]

Making a state mod is basically as complex as making a total conversion

So everyone just does total conversions

[deft inlet]

`
version="Alpha"
name = "A New Map: Napoleonic War: 1792-1815"

path = "mod/Newmap"

dependencies = { "Napoleonic Wars 1792-1815 | Demo Release!" }

picture = "thumbnail.png"
tags = { "A New Map" "Napoleonic Wars 1792-1815 | Demo Release!" }
supported_version="1.17.3.0"
`
is this correct?? im tryna make a submod

[ancient vapor]

Self promotion lol

[tough lotus]

Maybe, but it does fit for a timeline extension

It's not like it's unprompted

[ancient vapor]

Yeah i guess

Your mod is my favorite btw

[thin plover]

Sorry to be a pain to ask again but are there any modders here who have a good understanding of where the vanilla entities are listed in game files ( the lines that link the division templates to the 3D unit models /soldiers)?

[mortal bolt]

is there some mod like modern day but in stock hoi style? no economy, simple focus tree and research like "m1a2 mbt" instead of modern tank hull + 10 technologies ?

[tough lotus]

Novum Vexillum

To some extent at least

[lethal stone]

never heard of this error

[contextlocalizationtext.cpp:506]: Unknown promotion "[ROOT"

am i using root in a place where it cant be used i genuinely dont know what this error is

[tall hare]

It just consumes alot of time

But yeah

Thats also for total conversion

[thin plover]

These are the ones in Vanilla. I can’t seem to find them in the files and see how I add these to another mod as options

[thin plover]

Right, I have found them, woop woop!

They were introduced in Arms Against Tyranny.

The meshes and DDS files are all in gfx > models > units > special_forces within that dlc.

How do I go and point the designer to these?

[woeful matrix]

no matter what i try the events just wont work

[rough yarrow]

hey i have an issue with my on icons for MIO´s -> i know they must in .dds they are in .dds but still tzhey dont load (and yes i have the .gfxfile)

well the issue is not only for MIO icons but rather my picture flies are shit i guess -> dont understand how .dds pictures works

[pale sparrow]

@harsh knotPlease dont spam

If you just wanna chat these are the wrong channels

[weak girder]

are there any good mods that limit ai division spam? i've so badly been wanting to do ww3 but i don't particularly like the idea of fighting 1.5k divisions

[swift field]

im gonna add this NEW m1e3 MBT tank to us army tech tree

[unreal sorrel]

It‘s not using_namespace it‘s add_namespace I think

[golden island]

hi guys i need your opinions, is this overdone for rivers

[golden island]

cool

[golden island]

i dont see any issue with the event, can you show the on_actions file or what you used to trigger the event

[woeful matrix]

I'll figure out the picture later but this is it

wanted it to show up immediatly when entering the game.

[golden island]

yeah i remember trying to do that too

i think you need to put the limit and country_event blocks inside an if block

you cant use limit under effect

it should go

effect = {
if = {
limit = {
}
country_event = {
}
}
}

lmk how it goes

[woeful matrix]

Yeah, I’ll check it out. Classes to take but once that is over

[woeful matrix]

I probably screwed up

[14:34:00][1936.01.01.12][effect.cpp:553]: common/on_actions/welcome.txt:7: country_event: Invalid Scope, supported: Country, provided: None

on_actions = {
    on_startup = {
            effect = {
                    if = {
                        limit = {
                        }
                        country_event = {   
                            id = welcome_event.01
                        }
                        
                    }
            }
     }

}

it squiggle the country_event and bring an error

[golden island]

the limit is empty

did it work

after filling in the limit

[woeful matrix]

nope both the limit and the country_event puts out an error

[golden island]

hmmm

could be because the scope isnt set

try

[woeful matrix]

thats something I haven't heard of

[golden island]

on_actions = {
on_startup = {
effect = {
every_country = {
limit = {
is_ai = no
}
country_event = {
id = welcome_event.01
}

                }
        }
 }

}

[golden island]

the scope is js what the game tries to apply the effect to

[golden island]

if this doesnt work try

on_actions = {
on_startup = {
effect = {
if = {
every_country = {
limit = {
is_ai = no
}
country_event = {
id = welcome_event.01
}

                }
        }
 }

}
}

[woeful matrix]

its working

[golden island]

thank god

[woeful matrix]

its probably because I had set

is_ai = yes

Which prevented the event from popping

[golden island]

which one worked the first one or the second one

[golden island]

ah i see

[woeful matrix]

cause that just points towards the ai instead of players

[golden island]

yeah

[woeful matrix]

man

Thank you XD

[golden island]

anytime

[woeful matrix]

the first one

[ancient vapor]

Thats the amount of rivers you find in your walk on the mountain, NOT the amount of rivers you would see at province size

[warped owl]

Donroe doctrine mod?

[umbral charm]

Quick thing about extensions. Idk which but when I was coding it used to give me option when I typed stuff in. So I’d type add_ and it would give me all the add_(something) commands but it randomly just stopped. Anyone know why?

Also I haven’t touched my extensions and as far as I can tell they’re all up to date

[swift field]

Has anyone else experienced with expert ai that the allies ai do basically nothing for the entire war and get bogged down in iraq/iran and leaves the soviets to die alone or take all of europe

[arctic mural]

Expert ai tends to do that

[jagged mauve]

atleast vanilla ai has the mental capacity to try dday 😭

[tall hare]

I regretted my decision

Imma make like

1868 to how far I get

historical tbh

[thin rune]

hey does anyone know how to make variables always balance each other and add up to 100? For example I want the 3 variables to represent the strength of different factions in a party X,Y and Z.
X = 50
Y = 40
Z = 10
So is it possible to make it so when X increases by 10, the 2 other variables decrease by a total of 10? Idk if I explained this correctly lol

[north wave]

Question,

[tough lotus]

Answer

[north wave]

What's the difference between
MODIFIER_EXILED_DIVISIONS_ATTACK_FACTOR
MODIFIER_OWN_EXILED_DIVISIONS_ATTACK_FACTOR

was checking the modifiers for the exiled governments

found those two

MODIFIER_EXILED_DIVISIONS_ATTACK_FACTOR:0 "Exiled Divisions Attack"
MODIFIER_OWN_EXILED_DIVISIONS_ATTACK_FACTOR:0 "Own Exiled Divisions Attack"

My guess is the

exiled division attack, are the exiled divisions of countries that joins to your army as their country has capped

and own exiled division attack/defence is your OWN exiled divisions?

but I don't know if thats true

But like, does regular army modifiers applies on your exiled divisions too?

[fossil fern]

for some reason this other spirit isnt being made any idea why

recov great depression 2 isnt being made btw

ideas = {
country = {
recov_greatdepression = {
picture = NOR_printing_money

        modifier = {
            consumer_goods_factor = 0.25
            political_power_factor = -0.2
            production_speed_buildings_factor = -0.3
        }
    }

    recov_greatdepression_2 = {
        picture = NOR_printing_money

        modifier = {
            consumer_goods_factor = 0.15
            political_power_factor = -0.15
            production_speed_buildings_factor = -0.2
        }
    }
}

}

is there something wrong with it?

[tough lotus]

Bit off more than you could chew, classic

[tough lotus]

No idea

Ask in the multiplayer community, they'll know

[tall hare]

I am back at it again

Holy tuff

Ignore churchill

He is placeholder

Will use to have monarch still be visible

[tough lotus]

That's not gonna happen

Why churchill as a placeholder

The hoi devs use an edited version of otto von habsburg

Surely that's in the gamefiles somewhere

[tall hare]

Uh idk

🤷‍♂️

Who else

I am replacing him

Its a placeholder 😠

[tough lotus]

It's even called placeholder

It's the only job it has

[tall hare]

Fine

I am not making it

1868

I am back at the old idea

[tall hare]

My phone cant see it

[tall hare]

What the

Is rise of nations a tuff mod

[tough lotus]

It's a placeholder, it's supposed to be very hard to miss

[tough lotus]

Depends on your playstyle

[tall hare]

Uh idk

You done alot of development?

[orchid bridge]

I've recently been getting this news popup visual bug when modding with anything and it just looks horrible. Would anyone know whats up w that?

Its especcially when using mods the pictures are always iffy and sometimes have a picture of a japanese lady or something on it with question marks

[wise cradle]

Are there any tools that can help me make a custom map ?

[wise cradle]

Also please @ me

Cause I gonna to go sleep now

[whole dew]

Which on of you Brit’s did this 😂😂

[tacit mantle]

Is there an Cold War mod which is playable and you guys could recommend?

[echo kindle]

Is [get.USA.definition]

an actual code?

[echo kindle]

there is one in the workshop called, surprise, "Cold War". It's Quite a Big Mod

[pale sparrow]

no

[USA.GetNameDef]

[deft inlet]

how do I make the start date start in bc?? I wanna make a punic war timeline

[pale sparrow]

you can try setting a negative number but there is a chance the game doesnt support it at all

[lucid sequoia]

Hey does anyone know how to update a mod

[pale sparrow]

Just upload it again

[lilac sundial]

There is a whole Crit mechanic to the raids added in gotterdamerung, however the mechanic is in vanilla very barren for no apparent reason, its just a flat chance, modding this so it takes a few factors into account to make the crits more or less likely is very easy, but does anyone know how those values would be added to the GUI on a prepared raid? You can see the crit fail probability, but nowhere is crit success shown.

idk if anyone has played around with the raid mechanic in general here by any chance? I just know of a guy who made a lot of special projects

[arctic mural]

for visual studio code

can i share it with other people

so instead of 1 new person its 2 new people working together

2 dumbs make a smart

trust

[steep zephyr]

🔥 🔥

[tall hare]

with git I belive you can

now son

I got a question for you

[tacit mantle]

i believe you are talking abt this one, but i wanted to know if there is another one, because this one doesnt seem to work for me

[echo kindle]

there should be another one

but it might not be updated to new dlc

[arctic mural]

hm

[gentle loom]

does any boy got a fun mod to play?

[tall hare]

You made sheep ai?

thats tuff

[fossil fern]

can somebody tell me whats wrong with my code im trynna make 2 national spirits but only one is made dm me if u dont mind

[arctic mural]

i didnt

its just there since i like showing ppl it

[tacit mantle]

i mean if you know the other one it would be nice of you to tell me in dms maybe, because i cant seem to find any other one

[echo kindle]

don't recall sorry

[tacit mantle]

no problem

[tall hare]

Okay tuff

I need a German chancellor who die in 1936

if Germany and russia won ww1

anyone got suggestions on who

[slim hazel]

does anyone have a mod that makes the ai more likely to surrender? like if i conquer norway up until the choke point and i have all their major cities (that are in the south) then why do i have to keep pushing until i pretty much reach finland? they should have surrendered

[paper pecan]

Does anyone have w mod that has:

• Lots of paths
• kaiserreich like peace conference mechanic
• you can reunify a country
• not too far from vanilla but still total overhaul

[nimble solar]

Kaiserreich

Kaiserredux

[paper pecan]

I know these two

[nimble solar]

Red Flood to a degree

[paper pecan]

Yeah all these mods are good

But everyone knows them

[nimble solar]

Well, I gave you the ones I know

[paper pecan]

Ok

[nimble solar]

TWR is less vanilla

[paper pecan]

No problem

[nimble solar]

But alright

[paper pecan]

Yeah TNO is also good but complicated

Especially the economics

[tough lotus]

Make hindenburg live 2 years longer I guess

[tall hare]

but is it realistic if Germany and Russia won ww1?

[nimble solar]

I got FDR in my game to live through most of 1946

Dont ask me how

[tough lotus]

For a war hero to get good medical treatments?

[tall hare]

True

Bur would he be chancellor?

[tall hare]

Poor guy is sick and die in a terror bombing

[golden totem]

Is there anything to modify rangers? The only one that works here for rangers is the special forces cap, ive tried ranger, rangers, rangers_tech and theres nothing

[pearl karma]

Is there a way to limit the soldiers a country is allowed to have, like Germany was allowed to have 100k soldiers after ww1

[pale sparrow]

Giving them a manpower law that they cant replace and gives 100k~ manpower is probably the easiest way

Could also penalize them if you detected >100k but that might be janky especially with AI

[pearl karma]

Then i have to do math first to get the gap. I want to give a country the gap but with a focus to replace it

But yeah the first one it better because of the ai

[pale sparrow]

Bulgaria/Spain have that thing in base HOI where their templates&training are locked at game start but that wouldnt work well if you tried to trigger that when 100k is reached

I just imagine training 90k of 2-width cav and then swapping it all to a large template, inflating the army to 900k in one action that it couldnt prevent

Could also put a template division cap on the templates they start with but I think you cant lock all templates without also locking training

[lunar jacinth]

👋

[paper pecan]

Does anyone know a mod that provides kaiserreich peace mechanic to vanilla hoi4?

[tough lotus]

Can't you unlock training on a per-template basis? Or does that also unlock editing?

[spare crest]

Not sure if that overrides this

Hello? Mods?

i wanna add a lot of units sub units templates and sub templates to my hoi4 multi mod aswell as new techs equipments and special projects

and many more buildings

[lean apex]

Was there a way for focus trees to be updated in the game, with debug mode?

[tough lotus]

Debug has hot reload, they should update automatically once you save your changes

[pale sparrow]

Yeh only downside is focus progress is reset

[rain mortar]

why not waffen ss they best as hell

[swift patio]

What?

[rain mortar]

yk

[swift patio]

i dont

[rain mortar]

the SS Schutzstaffel

[swift patio]

are you asking why the aren't in the game?

[rain mortar]

yeah

[pale sparrow]

I deleted that link because you cant post nazi imagery in this server

[swift patio]

the game isn't there to glorify the nazi state

[rain mortar]

really?

[tough lotus]

Really

[rain mortar]

i always wanted to conquest on poland and france

with my SS troops

[swift patio]

BICE has ss divisions

[rain mortar]

ye

so

[primal seal]

Okay so RT56 Expanded is the reason i keep crashing, which is fair, the amount of mods placed in it are insane

[tough lotus]

So does UMC

[pale sparrow]

Yeh, real Rt56 for the win

[tough lotus]

[primal seal]

Welp that's another campaign gone with the wind 😭

I'll probably just install the mods i liked there and place it in my regular RT56 playset

[rain mortar]

bruh

it got deleted

[pale sparrow]

Unless youre playing multiplayer I dont see why youd get one of those package mods that probably includes mods you dont like 🤷‍♂️

[rain mortar]

it doesnt have nazi imagery and swat stickers

it just plane

[swift patio]

can we go somewhere else with the nazi larp

[rain mortar]

well

there is a new world order game

[primal seal]

TNO?

[rain mortar]

but it got outdated still

[swift field]

i wanna add different mbts tanks afvs ifvs and apcs to my hoi4 multi mod

aswell as new aircraft planes helis ships etc

each nation in my hoi4 multi mod will feature a LOT of of their own units sub units templates sub templates techs and equipments

ill also add a LOT of new special projects like fleet carrier

and normal fleet carriers

and new Ships crafts vessels and landing crafts

like lhds lhas lpds lsts etc

and aavs acvs and efvs

and lvts

and amtanks

ill also add Historical and Real life units and templates

To follow up on my TNO video I am planning on making a GWR video like I made the TNO one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OA5gJcnODY

<@&846894118219022336> Target spotted, hit em with the megaspell

[nimble solar]

Video is good. You making a video on GWX might be fun to watch as well. Just heads up that self-promo is somewhat frowned upon in the server but I have never seen it enforced.

I'd just like to point out that TNO: Requiem exists which you could have mentioned. Sometimes the answer is a new mod with the same theme.

[foggy delta]

can anyone guide me on how to make a submod for millenium dawn

Hey I'm new to modding can I show someone my mod files I have not Idea what I did wrong

[wise cradle]

Wdym

[wide anvil]

Well I have a event that should fire after one day and give you a spirt but nothing happens

[wise cradle]

Can I see the code

[wide anvil]

add_namespace = mod_event

country_event = {
id = mod_event.1
title = mod_event.1.t
desc = mod_event.1.d
picture = GFX_report_event_generic_read_write

is_triggered_only = yes

trigger = {
    is_ai = no
}

mean_time_to_happen = {
    days = 1
}

fire_only_once = yes

option = {
    name = mod_event.1.a
    if = {
        limit = {
            has_war = yes
        }
        every_other_country = {
            limit = {
                has_war_with = root
            }
            add_ideas = test_spirt1
        }
    }
    else = {
        add_ideas = test_spirt1
    }
}

}

I also have this error

[wise cradle]

Root need to be capitalised ROOT

[wide anvil]

The event still doesn't fire

[tough lotus]

Events are weird

[wise cradle]

Have you tried it in the console?

[tough lotus]

Welcome to hoi4 modding

[wide anvil]

How do I do that?

[wise cradle]

You press the button left of 1 to opent the console then you should type event mod_event.1

[tough lotus]

event mod_event.1

[wide anvil]

That got the event to fire

[wise cradle]

Also I thing the has_war = yes need to be in the trigger

[wide anvil]

the events text seems to be wrong

l_english:
test_spirt: "Test"
mod_event.1.d: "Test1"
mod_event.1.t: "Yes2"
mod_event.1.a: "Yes1"

Anyone know how to change the color of a country

What are you using notepad or visual code studios?

Visual

[wise cradle]

Ok is the localisation file Yml

[wide anvil]

yes

[wise cradle]

Also sometimes I know that you have to select UFT-8 with BOM

[wide anvil]

It's on that already

[wise cradle]

Yeah idk sorry, but i am sure that some else will know.

[wide anvil]

Alright thanks for trying to help

[wise cradle]

Maybe try rewatch the video sometimes they just dont explain things

[wide anvil]

Okay

[thorny shoal]

How do you log variables again?

[tough lotus]

Is the name and the first line correct?

It's not an uppercase i

Is the file in the correct place? localisaton/english

Also tried just restarting the game? Especially if you created the file while it was already running

[wide anvil]

Okay I fixed the text its now what it should be but the event doesn't fire as it should only when I fire it via the console it fires

[raven hedge]

How do we add new type of value that can be gained amount every day and can be spent for some actions in decisions?

is_triggered_only makes it ignore trigger = { ... }

It's purpose is to mark the event as being fired from decisions, national focuses, etc

[wide anvil]

ahh

thanks for the help its fixed now

[gleaming dragon]

anyone good at creating maps for mods?

[arctic mural]

Does anyone know how to change a countries color

[shut dawn]

[radiant spruce]

Yo does anyone have a workaround or mod that disables naval supremacy, it hurts my soul

[tough lotus]

Downgrading to 1.16

[radiant spruce]

Fair point

[umbral charm]

How do I make it so that a decision appears after you complete a focus?

[swift field]

im gonna add 2 new commands for Manpower: you enter a number like 500k or 100m and you get the manpower

[tough lotus]

Already exists

[tough lotus]

has_completed_focus

[bitter cargo]

i'm willing to offer a challenge to you modders i want you guys to try to combine two mod aspects into a single mod.
1: the occult facilities mod, i was hoping to unlock a new type of facilities and research
2: some special research mod (i cannot remember the name of it) i wanted its unique aspects of Cyber warfare Holy militants Bio weapons and Chemical weapons (three of them are legit from the mod i am talking about the last one is not i think)
long story short i want any of you modders to create a mod that creates new facilities for C.W H.M B.W and C.W.
Note: i will not Reply via this message this is an idea

[tough lotus]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modding

Do it yourself, 99% of the people looking at this channel have no experience modding

[swift field]

im gonna add a lot of new Special projects like MBTs and supersonic jets and jet aircrafts from 1945 till 2026

and a Lot loads of other techs equipments etc

for like naval and air

and land army stuff

[nimble mist]

Isn't there already a mod which adding extended researches

And what u gonna do until 2026 in vanilla hoi

?

[swift field]

idk yet

ill play from the year 1900 till whatever year i get to

[nimble mist]

Even more work with map and additional content

Anyways wish u luck at this

[swift field]

thx teto

[nimble mist]

I suck at modding, my knowledge ends on understanding that WA is worse mod ever

[swift field]

alr

i will add stuff from 1900 till 2026

[swift field]

@nimble mist

i have enough ideas

for them

for the mod i mean

[nimble mist]

Do 1900-1980

[swift field]

what why?

[tough lotus]

Isn't that just rise of nations though

[nimble mist]

Actually yes similar vibe

[swift field]

my mod is bigger and better with more varieties of techs equipments Special projects and units

[tough lotus]

GLHF

[nimble mist]

Talking like it's already made

[swift field]

sorry teto

i meant to say: my mod will be bigger and better

[nimble mist]

Are you RoN developer?

[tough lotus]

Yes

[nimble mist]

Thank for your job spent allot of time in RoN

[swift field]

again my HOI4 Multi mod will and shall be bigger and better

i already have enough ideas for it

[nimble mist]

Hope u will have enough power to do it solo

[swift field]

alr

dw i will

[nimble mist]

RoN devs, from steam page of mod

[swift field]

yes i saw

[nimble mist]

"Aka gaming banana "sounds cool as f

[swift field]

alr

once i find a modding course in finland ill start work on it when i can

[tough lotus]

Ok you stand about a 1% chance of actually getting anywhere

[tough lotus]

That's just people that asked to be on the steam page (hey harry, I saw you forgot me again)

[swift field]

what wdym

[nimble mist]

So team is much bigger

[nimble mist]

Imagine making content for 100 year run

Not scenarios

[nimble mist]

Actually millennium is close to this

Because it allows you to switch paths

But still it's not close to 100 years

[tough lotus]

The complexity of such a mod alone is enough to probably make you give up

And this amazing image from the modding den

[nimble mist]

On strat u should add

Should I even make a mod?

[swift field]

i aint giving up

no way

[tough lotus]

You're probably better off joining the RoN team, we have pretty relaxed standards and are decentralized so you can basically do what you want (within reason)

[nimble mist]

As I said wish u luck

[swift field]

yes i said already thx

[nimble mist]

I guess he needs guidance too

[tough lotus]

I await the release of your mod in about 2032

[swift field]

alr

[nimble mist]

Not that bad

Actually how hard is to add formable bation decisions, it's also work with map at some point

If i understand it right

[tough lotus]

Tedious, not really that hard

[nimble mist]

Like just list of provinces at some point?

[tough lotus]

states

Just that you need each state 3 times for different puposes

[nimble mist]

So I can't make a separate province as core, only making it as separate region

[tough lotus]

(checking for ownership, highlighting, coring)

[tough lotus]

Yep

[nimble mist]

OK

That's why ww1 mods border states are so small mostly

It's made for better peace deal script

[nimble mist]

Is it good or i should find something unofficial?

[tough lotus]

IDK I taught myself via the wiki cause I can't handle tutorials

[nimble mist]

I want try ask Gemini to code mod for me first

I heard ai got better at such things

[tough lotus]

Dont, ai is shit at pdx script

Too few samples

[nimble mist]

Like just one formable

To have code example

As template

Because I am not coder

[tough lotus]

And they're similar enough between games where it gets them confused

[tough lotus]

I'll give you one from one of my own mods, Just have to find one that isn't the mongol empire cause that looks like this

[nimble mist]

Looks like meme infinite "else if"

What do u use for coding

[tough lotus]

vscode

[nimble mist]

Oh so would be fine to me

Doing themes in it

[tough lotus]

You have to put the list of states somewhere, sure I can hide it in a separate file but it'll still be somewhere

[nimble mist]

Not hardest task I think

Atleast not hard as getting started at linux

[nimble mist]

Actually I want to make myself map mode which u turn one like supply map, but showing cores

Can't remember where I saw it before

[tough lotus]

RoN

No idea how that one works though

Didn't make it

[nimble mist]

❤️

[nimble mist]

Actually is it hard to make a mod wich works with Ironman

?

[tough lotus]

No, you just can't touch most folders

[nimble mist]

So can I do this map with cores as Ironman capable?

[tough lotus]

no

Because you'd need to touch common

[nimble mist]

Sad

[tough lotus]

Basically anything that adds, removes or modifies any type of content is incompatible

[nimble mist]

So only UI redesign left

[tough lotus]

UI, gfx, music mods, map shaders

[tall hare]

Wilhelm Groener

Is that a good chancellor?

to have 1936

[nimble mist]

Is it possible to move ui on side instead of top left corner

Curious because never seen it

[radiant spruce]

EOANB for africa

Europa Universalis V for americas

gonna try millenium dawn to see if its overhated

[tough lotus]

It's very bloated, which is where the hate comes from

If you like it then that's fine

[pseudo crescent]

its so shi

and diplomatic

[nimble mist]

So I tried to change focus tree background from standart dark to something else, and I couldn't find a background file in gfx I guess i am cooked 🙃, next try will be only tomorrow.

[tall hare]

Wilhelm Groener
Is that a good chancellor?
to have 1936

[tough lotus]

tiled_focus_bg.dds in gfx\interface\tiles

[nimble mist]

Oh

I searched in different folder because it's naming were more reasonable for me

And found only files dedicated to focused

to separate focuses*

[tough lotus]

Most of the ui is in tiles

the gui command can help find the file you're looking for

[nimble mist]

Like in hoi command?

[tough lotus]

hoi console command

[nimble mist]

Got it

Thanks

I only known about debug to search province id

State*

[tough lotus]

there is a launch option for that, use it since it's more powerful

[nimble mist]

-debug in steam

[tough lotus]

yep

[nimble mist]

Also spawned this on my old pc:

Or smth similar

I thought it because drivers were cooked so ignored it

[tough lotus]

They change the dog's appearance every dlc

[nimble mist]

Actually they were, after reinstalling win to my pc with no driver check and update

[nimble mist]

Cute easteregg

[empty warren]

in theory how much would i have to pay someone to make me a mod

[nimble solar]

Probably a decent amount. More if the mod is large

It might be more cost effective to learn to mod the game

I kinda make BA portrait replacement mod for myself, does anyone want it too?

[echo sphinx]

Is there a rule in puppet configs to prevent them from building or deploying any divisions?

[nimble mist]

There were leader traits

[echo sphinx]

???

[nimble mist]

Like "ai focus on army"

German leader has this trait

[nimble mist]

Or how it's called

[nimble mist]

Ai modifier

[tough lotus]

You can probably do that with on_actions, there is an effect that does that

[tawny vortex]

I’m playing a game as Germany with the tfb mod for the first time, what does the mod change

[nimble mist]

1. It's mp mod

2. Idk it's just good

[tawny vortex]

Alr

[arctic mural]

Research, factories, factory output

Division templates

Like arty is a bit better in it

Focuses

That should be it?

I think there is a Kazakh country too

[empty warren]

im too stupid to do that

who would do it if i payed them

[tough lotus]

And the competitor: https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/index.php?title=File:State_ID_map.png

[versed haven]

that works too but i find mapchart more fun to use and quicker

plus you dont have to click on all the little islands and stuff

[tough lotus]

It's a png you don't have to click here either

[versed haven]

?

i think you are misunderstanding what the tool is for

[edgy sage]

yo is there a good mod which improves the nuke mechanics? like declining the population in the hit region?

[pale sparrow]

Road to 56 and Equestria at War have that

[tall hare]

Really?

does RT56 have it

that's cool

[jagged flint]

Guys how can I use cheats in milenium dawn multi-player

[edgy sage]

oh thats awesome, cool that there is a mod which is just good at the most stuff

[pale sparrow]

If you and the other people install a host tool mod like toolpack

[tough lotus]

Don't cheat in multiplayer

Unless everyone in the lobby is ok with it

[dusty linden]

Equestria at war mentioned, peak is back

[jagged flint]

They are

[hollow wing]

using console commands

pressing tab above capslock

[arctic mural]

Doesn’t work in mp

oh

guys does anyone havev like 1800 mod

[hollow wing]

this was the one I was looking for I think

[tough lotus]

Victoria 3 (or Victoria 2, Victoria: Revolutions also works)

[edgy sage]

when i play germany with the RT56 mod, can i still "call the new order" at decisions?

[pale sparrow]

I can check the code for you if you want, if you can describe what/where that usually is

[edgy sage]

like this decision to call out "germania" yk? idk when it pops out in my vanilla game and im wondering why i dont see this decision yet haha

maybe i just need to wait a bit idk

[pale sparrow]

Might be we found it a bit too silly

@mild muskPlease dont use this channel to advertise

Alright thank you

[sleek seal]

does anyone recognise this mod in a segl video I am watching?

I love how the plane types are distinguished by color

[tough lotus]

There are a bunch of mods that do only that, try searching around in the workshop for a bit

[sleek seal]

Ive been looking for an hour or so

oh well

[blissful lion]

Did some keywording, it is something within "Coloured Air Force". There are a lot of updated and outdated mods.

[winged oak]

still curious

[edgy sage]

wth happened? was loading a game i played yesterday with RT56 mod and now everything is off

[tough lotus]

@pale sparrow that's definitely your domain

Looks like a corrupted save though

[edgy sage]

should i send him a dm?

[tough lotus]

Nah, just wait for him to answer

He checks this channel quite regularly

[edgy sage]

oke thx for ur help ^^

[pale sparrow]

Corrupted save/incompatible mods, not Road's fault for sure

[edgy sage]

okay and how can i fix that?

What’s up with the artillery research tree in tfb

What do i need to research to get the best heavy tank

[arctic mural]

Don’t ask this server

Maybe ask the mp server that uses it

[lone carbon]

im bored can any1 recommend some fun mods compatible with RT56

[pale sparrow]

You tried our gamerules for map setup and focus trees? :)

[stray hull]

wsp

[high hatch]

Hi. It is normal now, countries can have the same ID (number)? Because, I was worked on a influence system, but now, is broken ><.

I use something like this: influence_variable^PREV.

[pale sparrow]

^ is for arrays, I assume you are confusing it with PREV.influence_variable

[high hatch]

Well, the problem is:
For country A, the influenced, they have multiple "influence_variable". So, I do a "fake array", because if I do PREV.influence_variable, it can store only one value.

[pale sparrow]

🤔

So make influence_variable an array?

Ah, I guess you're basically making a dictionary where the index is the key

I assume the game wont like that

What I've done in the past is use meta_effects and meta_triggers to automatically name variables based on the country theyre targetting

or more traditionally, you can have 2 arrays, one with keys and the other with values

[high hatch]

Mmm, and if I do that, how I can get the value by using the second array 🤔 ? Because the meta thing, I don’t get it ^^'.
(And sorry for late.)

[arctic mural]

Are u playing tfb solo??

[tawny vortex]

Ah I thought there was a specific server dedicated to it

Mb

[tough lotus]

There might be, check the steam page

Although TFB is a multiplayer mod, playing in singleplayer might be slightly weird

[tawny vortex]

Yeah I do play in mp

But everyone on the server was new to the mod

[devout wing]

if I got this error after crash, what does this mean?

[silver lotus]

Anyone rec mods that buff AI?

Game is not rage inducing enough

[tough lotus]

Expert AI

[silver lotus]

Bet

[tough lotus]

(Only works with vanilla and most dlc)

[silver lotus]

Is upping the sliders on AI helpful or is it just arbitrary

[tough lotus]

Makes the AI the closest it can be to an mp sweat

[tough lotus]

It does buff them so...

But it makes it more annoying, rather than a fun challenge

[silver lotus]

Right

Thank you

[echo sphinx]

Quick Question, I know that the regular Autonomy doesn't give you dockyards from puppets but is there a way i can add that?

[vagrant mist]

Is there a mod that adds slavery,migration and purges similar to Stellaris but based on ethnicity

?

[tough lotus]

No

PDX would remove them

1984 automod

[vagrant mist]

But what if it's made and not put on steam

Workshop?

[tough lotus]

Then you wouldn't know about it

[vagrant mist]

That's what I'm asking

Does anybody have such a mod

Or can give me instructions on how to make it?

[noble tulip]

I am developing a mod with about 40 custom countries, but I’ve run into a persistent bug with 3 specific nations. Despite setting the values in the country history files, I cannot change the ruling party or the party popularity in-game.

Regardless of my edits, the countries always default to:

Democracy: 60% (Ruling Party)

Fascism: 13.33%

Communism: 13.33%

Neutrality: 13.33%

The other countries in my mod work perfectly. I have checked the /history/countries/ files, and the syntax seems identical to the working ones.

[gentle belfry]

Did anyone else call it “The Fires Rise” instead of “The Fire Rises?”

[unreal hedge]

Does anyone know much about "Better AI" MOD？？
Im not sure about the options popping up at the start

[tough lotus]

Use Expert AI

[unreal hedge]

I heard it doesnt work under non-historical scenario

[umbral charm]

Can anyone help me with making this advisor? It won't appear and I've spent a few hours trying to tweak it.

[noble tulip]

brother i think u dont need to localise portrait

and on second screenshot u need to put
small = "GFX_portrait_LSA_Dolly_small"

[golden totem]

Did you recruit the character in the history file of that country?

Also the localisation would be Dolly: "Dolly"

[golden totem]

Not sure if the second image works as i have never tried it like that

Usually it's recruit_character = Dolly

[devout wing]

Help, in my own mod it crashed after a while when I was playing with UK and this was the Last read, what is the problem here?

[umbral charm]

Thank you but it still wont work.

[noble tulip]

could u send files i may help

[noble tulip]

you have an extra }

} <------ this one
ai_will_do ={

[tall hare]

They don't add up to 100 maybe

[noble tulip]

i solved this problem, everything was alright, i just copied these countries from \common\country_tags\00_countries.txt to new file, and everything fixed

[tall hare]

👍

[noble tulip]

2 hours, i hate hoi4

[umbral charm]

That’s for the character block

[tall hare]

anyone here do gfx?

[noble tulip]

Dolly = {
name = "Dolly"
portraits= {
civilian = {
small = "GFX_portrait_LSA_Dolly_small"
}
}
advisor = {
slot = political_advisor
idea_token = Dolly
allowed = {
original_tag = LSA
}
traits = {
silent_workhorse
}
cost = 150
ai_will_do = {
factor = 1
}
}
}

try this, u also put ai_will_do in wrond place, and u forgot about idea_token

UPD i got mistaken sorry i fixed some things

[noble tulip]

yep

[tall hare]

Why do my colors become so light? I have full opacity

[noble tulip]

I thought you were talking about the code component, try other "Blending Options"

[umbral charm]

Thank you man

[vagrant mist]

Can anybody give me instructions on how to make my mod?

[pale sparrow]

Check pins

If you got something more specific in mind, you can ask that

[vagrant mist]

It's a bit more specific

It's similar to Stellaris economy,migration,slavery and purges

[umbral charm]

@noble tulip dude I owe you. Thanks

That part too

[vagrant mist]

I won't upload,it will be for domestic use

And why is Stellaris allowed to have it then

?

[pale sparrow]

Ig the game can have nazis or genocide but not both

[tough lotus]

Stellaris is a separate thing

[vagrant mist]

But if I use it for domestic use?

And do not upload it

[deft aurora]

Why when I remove:

1939.3.22 = {
owner = GER
controller = GER
add_core_of = GER
}

inside 188-Memel
It crashes the game, and also says there are no provinces inside, when there is?

[frail rock]

If I want to change a province and transfer it to a different state, I can just do that and update the strategic region too, and the game should still run without any bugs right?

[marsh bloom]

This is on Road to 56 and im genuinely confused on what happened.

i was playing as india, got my freedom from the british, beat germany and its allies. Then you can see that in europe, the soviet union started attacking poland and then me. Soon after i got a popup trying to prevent a civil war and release pakistan and yemen's territories, i accepted cuz i was already spread a bit thin, now ive got no country. cant play anymore.

[tough lotus]

You are playing pakistan it seems

[marsh bloom]

but cant do anything as them

[tough lotus]

Sure looks like you can play normally

[marsh bloom]

literally no... otherwise the units would be green, not grey

[tough lotus]

Those are indian divisions

You are pakistan

[marsh bloom]

what part of " i cant do anything as them" isnt getting across

nvm

[tough lotus]

You clicked the wrong event option, if I had to guess there is one where you switch to pakistan

Perhaps @pale sparrow can give some more insight

[marsh bloom]

dude i gave the information if you read it. i was preventing a civil war and that happened, dont bother trying to help cuz its not working

[pale sparrow]

I dont entirely understand what you described

Exactly what Viktoria said though

[pale sparrow]

Id expect it to be this

[marsh bloom]

again, i couldnt do anything as either country and it was a civil war prevention, i should have still been pklaying as india.....

forget about it

[pale sparrow]

You can do console command tag RAJ

and itll be mostly fixed

Or if you want you can give a savegame from before the event and Ill take a look

[marsh bloom]

and reset me back to the beginning, no thanks

in either case, ONE of the countries units should have looked like this and didnt

[tough lotus]

-# Uhuh
It'll just swap you back to india

[tough lotus]

Pakistan has no units rn

[marsh bloom]

i had 11 divisions in the details tab....

[tough lotus]

At no point do you show the details tab

[marsh bloom]

my bad, ill screenrecord every little detail of the game

[tough lotus]

Screenshots work

[marsh bloom]

https://giphy.com/gifs/facepalm-XD4qHZpkyUFfq

[tough lotus]

Anyway pakistan has pretty obviously no units unless you show anything that says otherwise

[tough lotus]

And you can just do that, which will switch you back to india

[marsh bloom]

they did in europe, now dont talk down to me prick

[tough lotus]

Watched that yet again, no divisions in europe

[marsh bloom]

wow its almost like i cant see divisions when im not playing as the country

the entire point of the video btw

[tough lotus]

India =/= Pakiastan

Pakistan has no units

[marsh bloom]

you gotta be ragebaiting atp

just stop pinging me, youre nit helpful AT ALL

[tough lotus]

Well, show me the army tab

If you have units there we'll talk

[marsh bloom]

cant

youre way too late

its amazing you think i think pakistan and india are the same thing WHEN I INITIALLY POINTED OUT THAT THEY ARENT

i swear yall are gonna make me stupid

[tough lotus]

=/= means DO NOT EQUAL

Basic math notation btw

[edgy sage]

since im playing with the RT56 mod sometimes the game only creates those "temp" saves and i cant load them. how can i fix that?

[marsh bloom]

if it was basic math notation, youd have a key for it on your numpad. you should jsut be quiet tbh, youre making it worse for youself

also

[tough lotus]

I'm putting it in simple terms:

1. You are playing Pakistan
2. You have no units
3. All your previous units are indian
4. Searching for indian units in Europe will not magically spawn pakistani units
5. tag RAJ will just make you play india again, it only changes the tag you're actively playing
6. ≠

[marsh bloom]

lmao the typical " im right youre wrong" even tho ive disproved you several times in only a few minutes

[tough lotus]

You haven't disproven anything btw

You have sent no information that in anyway disproves the fact that you are playing pakistan, which has no units

[marsh bloom]

dude youve gotta be stuck on stupid

its like this was your first message and have ignored all my other ones

[tough lotus]

Well, send the intel tab on pakistan

Or your army tab

It'll prove me right

[tough lotus]

No proof for that, just "trust me bro"

which btw is the only message that in any way disproves me

[random helm]

https://youtu.be/4an13ppH4Bs?si=QLzRLq-s8mr0_bv3 SPREAD THE WORD

[tough lotus]

This guy...

I sure hope he ends up realizing he was indeed playing a pakistan with no units

[tough lotus]

W video

I know you're reading this now

1. Pakistani flag in the corner
2. Pakistani politics tab
3. We're seeing units in pakistani territory
4. Those marvellous 11 pakistani units you mentioned seem to be about as real as steiner's counteratack

[spice knoll]

does anyone know which how map editing affect paratroop drop order?
Since I'm playing a mod that have CTD on creating paratroop order, deleting map/strat and history/state fixes it.
Rt56 fixed it back at very early 2018 but the repo started in around 2nd quarter so likely there isn’t a commit to see how to fix it 👀

[edgy sage]

since im playing with the RT56 mod sometimes the game only creates those "temp" saves and i cant load them. how can i fix that?

[noble cape]

Progress till now do yall see any mistakes

My first time btw

[pale sparrow]

Your brackets are completely off

picture and modifier blocks should be inside the hajj_tourism block, which in turn should be inside the country block

[noble cape]

How do i fix that?

[pale sparrow]

.

[noble cape]

Like this?

[pale sparrow]

No

Top tip: select the entire block you need to move, then hold ALT and press arrow up/down

now the consumer goods has left the modifier block it sould be in and modifier is missing an openeing bracket and closing bracket

[umbral charm]

Is this how you're supposed to add other advisors? Because my guy won't show up.

never mind

I got it

[noble cape]

Now?

I came here to say, is there another mod for ww1?

Is there a way we can boycott TGWR

[undone snow]

Country should be spelled with a small c and you made two names for the idea

[wheat swan]

I was reading a comment from a Korean developer and they said that the head devs canceled all Asian alt focus paths too

[noble cape]

No i want more national spirits

Not one

[undone snow]

The idea for preindustrial society is correct (idk if the modifiers in the modifier are correct tho, i don‘t have all of em memorized)
But PLEASE remove some of the unneeded spaces, it looks so wrong

[noble cape]

I have no idea how to do these brackets like in the video

[tough lotus]

VScode should do them automatically, if it doesn't tab adds one indentation

And both of you learn to take screenshots pls

[noble cape]

I dont have dc on pc

I use my phone

[tough lotus]

discordapp.com, there is even a button to open it in the browser

Screenshots make reading code so much easier

[flat turtle]

where in the files can I edit the quotes that appear when the game is launching

[umbral charm]

How do I make it so that a focus gives cores on states?

[nimble mist]

So I can mod divs this far

[frail rock]

If I want to change and transfer a province to a different state in vanilla hoi4, I only have to edit the history folder, and the strategic region in the maps folder and it should work just fine?

[prisma marten]

a province to a different state?

i dont think its that simple

trying is an option too

[frail rock]

ye u were right

game doesn't crash but I'm getting lots of errors

I checked it out but I don't think I can understand this

I'll appreciate any help

[prisma marten]

i think like you have to remake the map

or not the map maybe the states

what am i doing wrong here (trying to make a submod for the 1792 napoleon mod)

[high hatch]

Use nudge, go to buildings tab, and select validate for all states, it will fix that auto. And don't forget to save, and put the files the game generate at your game folder documents it in your mod. And delete this files from your documents game folder.

[high hatch]

Hallo.
I want to know if I really need to do a loop to get the index/position (in index_position) of the country store in the array "keys" influence_array_key, and do after influence_array_value^index_position? It doesn't exists a directly function in array to get the index/position of a value in array?
Oh, and to check a example, and if the meta_effects and meta_triggers can work also, but I never do that, and don't think is apply in my situation.
Because, I need to get it in a decisions and focus_tree.

[pale sparrow]

Basically how I have done it a few times is

influence_var_GER

where GER is inserted dynamically by meta trigger and meta effect when I dont know what countries have a set variable, while if you know you're rewarding to GER you can just write it out normally

[high hatch]

So, you say in theory, PREV or ROOT can work 🤔 ?

Because, I was sure it doesn't work when I try that.

I know for flag, it is @PREV or @ROOT.

[pale sparrow]

Theres a special [ROOT.GetTag] loc which gives the tag for this kind of stuff

Its how I keep track of Germany occupation groups in Rt56, theyre named after their leader

[high hatch]

So, in the code, I do influence_var_"[PREV.GetTag]" 🤔

[swift field]

how do i add more SPs?

[pale sparrow]

common/special_projects folder

[swift field]

nice

[pale sparrow]

make a new empty file

[swift field]

alr

[pale sparrow]

Usually vanilla's files start with 00_

instead rt56 makes new ones with r56_ for example, so you dont override vanilla's one

[pale sparrow]

lemme seek an example

[high hatch]

Ok. If you want, I can DM some part of the code I has current before I change with the new system.
Otherwise, it is in my mod of "Runeterra - Freljord" if you want to look by yourself.

Oh

[pale sparrow]

bit of a weird example but its how meta effects work at least

[swift field]

thx mari

i found it

[high hatch]

Is work with multiple line, like this?

set_temp_variable = { influencer_country = THIS }
every_other_country = {
    limit = {
        meta_trigger = {
            text = {
                has_variable = FRELJORD_influencer_[country_influencer]
                check_variable = {
                    var = FRELJORD_influencer_[country_influencer]
                    value = 0
                    compare  = not_equals
                }
            }
            country_influencer = "[?influencer_country.GetTag]"
        }
    }

[pale sparrow]

Mhm!

[swift field]

only land and naval projects ill add to my hoi4 multi mod aswell as air projects

i already have enough and good ideas for more SPs

[high hatch]

I hope meta_effect can contains also trigger (ie a if inside that) ^^'

[pale sparrow]

otherwise you can also just put a meta trigger in the if-limit and a meta_effect in its effect

theyre very flexible in placement, but not as flexible in scoping for the loc

[high hatch]

I mean that

[high hatch]

I see

[final oriole]

Is there any way to block wars from ai? I want that only i am who can start a war with others.

[high hatch]

Thank you marijn. Is work.
For localisation, I only do FRELJORD_influence_@ROOT, and is work without problem. Funny is work only in localisation to do that 😄

[pale sparrow]

That works???

xD

[high hatch]

Yep

[lone carbon]

not yet

[nimble mist]

They are a thing?

Never checked those in mods

[pale sparrow]

Smh theres literally a reminder in the decision tab

[noble cape]

Whats the X coordinate for the focus code to be perfectly in the middle

10 is kinda off

[tough lotus]

HOI players don't read

[mint sage]

Is there any server I can post a commission as a modder? Free for the time been and looking to help make mods for commission

[noble cape]

Where do yall get the tags for example tags for adding stability or sum

[swift field]

im gonna add a TON of new Special projects to my hoi4 multi mod

[pale sparrow]

That changes with resolution

[noble cape]

Cool

[noble cape]

What?

[swift field]

like new land air and naval SPs

[noble cape]

Oh mb

[noble cape]

I already found the solution but thanks

[noble cape]

I need help there

[pale sparrow]

Modding wiki, its pinned

[umbral charm]

Right now, the decision only says "add core to." and won't give cores. How do I fix this?

[tough lotus]

    add_core_of = TAG
}```

[lyric estuary]

guys are there any videos that helped you start modding?

I watched a couple but im still lost

cuz they dont provide all the details

[final oriole]

why this doesnt stop wars?

can someone help? Or create mod that will stop every war, like block ai to make any war. Only i want make war when i want

[tough lotus]

Check pinned messages

<@&846894118219022336> surely that's against the rules

[tough lotus]

Pax Britannica does it, you can check how they do it

[brazen summit]

That user has been dealt with, thanks for reporting

[naive stump]

Handeld

[tough lotus]

Only one of you could have possibly done that

Team effort I guess

[brazen summit]

Haha, we are the Moderation TEAM for a reason

[tough lotus]

[naive stump]

Handled

[final oriole]

i dont know about mods and scripts

i just download mod and didnt work

[high hatch]

They have no way to say to a strategy AI to use a specific division template or a specific sub_unit type? After a moment in the game, it use something else. For the moment, I write that.

ZAI_unit_production = {
    allowed = {
        original_tag = ZAI
    }
    enable = {
        has_completed_focus = ZAI_arise
        has_character = ZAI_Azir
    }
    abort_when_not_enabled = yes
    ai_strategy = {
        type = build_army
        id = infantry
        #id = sand_soldiers
        value = 100
    }
    ai_strategy = {
        type = role_ratio
        id = infantry
        #id = sand_soldiers
        value = 50
    }
}

[tough lotus]

you asked ai for that code, didn't you

[final oriole]

Nope, i downloaded this from paradox mods

Maybe creator use ai to this

I tried create something with AI but nothing works

[tough lotus]

probably cause nothing there would even remotely work

[final oriole]

Then how to do it?

[tough lotus]

Do NOT use AI (like ChatGPT) to generate HOI4 code
It often looks correct, especially to someone not experienced with HOI4 code, but it usually creates incorrect code

[tough lotus]

-# Now if we didn't have tutorials conveniently pinned and a wiki https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modding which also conveniently is right there for you to use as a resource

[final oriole]

Im not asking how make a mod, i ask how make mod that will stop wars from ai

[tough lotus]

One is included in the other

Probably diplomatic actions scripted triggers or editing the wargoals so the AI can't ever use any

[final oriole]

So no one can know how to make this mod

[tough lotus]

I could probably make it but I have no interest in doing so

[high hatch]

They have already a gamerule for that, no?

Except it is for anyone (AI and human).

[final oriole]

Nope

[tough lotus]

ai_templates I'd guess

[high hatch]

You select Blocked ("focus or national event only")

[tough lotus]

@high hatch https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/AI_modding#AI_templates

[final oriole]

I want block wars from focus, events, all

[high hatch]

Otherwise, they have a file named diplomatic_scripted_trigger, something like that. You can create one file where you put zzz in the beginning of your file, and copy the scripted trigger wargoal thing... and put if = { limit = { is_ai = yes } always = no }.
Note : I am not in my PC right now so I do by memeories.

[gilded orchid]

These are my recent comments on intermediate modding videos.

1. I’m jotting down stuff for a mod about my alt Earth, Kleevuthiia [kʟe̞ː.vu.θiː.a], which divides the British Isles into Ireland (Connaught, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster), Sodor (Isle of Man, Lanark, and the Hebrides), and the UK (England, rest of Scotland, and Wales). Currently, Ruckmoor (RKM) is my name for the combination of Ireland and Sodor. What’s the best way to organize RKM’s holdings?

2. How do I gate focuses behind boarders? My Kleevuthiia mod will have several Tides of Unification submods to show how various countries unified. For example, the Gaelic Wars submod will have various Irish clans only able to attack neighbors. Thus, Clan A (Athlone area) will be able to attack Clan B (Galway area) but not Clan C (Limerick area) at first.

[high hatch]

Oh, well sorry. I was thinking was only justify ><. Don’t know then.

[tough lotus]

Good luck, fairly certain there are some events and decisions that instantly declare war, they skip justifications

[tough lotus]

1. No idea I'm not in your head
2. You can check for being neighbours or you can check for control of specific states

[gilded orchid]

Thank you.

[final oriole]

I wonder why they didn't make sandbox game rules, missing soo many options

[tough lotus]

Because it was originally a ww2 simulator

And you can disable justifications

That rule exists

No reason to really go further unless you're making a very scripted (or railroaded) mod, at which point you can go the Pax Britannica route and fully disable the button to declare war

[final oriole]

I don't want play modded map

[tough lotus]

But you can see what they did and adapt that

[final oriole]

I don't know about coding

Im not able to make a simple code

[tough lotus]

Well then IDK what you're expecting

Because it's highly unlikely someone here just makes a mod they have no interest in

[final oriole]

Lol, if someone know how to make, then why wouldn't do this? Maybe its 5 minutes, but for me its couple hours to find out simple one line code

[tough lotus]

Because we have other stuff to work on

I work on 2 different total conversions

Marjin works on RT56

Others have their own mods
