aaand how to force division to use paratroopers icon instead of artillery?

isn't this thing only working with custom template icons?

[ruby abyss]

Its not

[acoustic berry]

The artillery is overriding the icon because artillery cannot be paradropped

Therefore the division is pointless. For paratroopers always use support artillery, not line artillery

man research for a focus tree ideas is eating up alot of time

i curse myself for having OCD so much

How can I make it so that after completing the Palestine focus, Palestine leaves the Allies, becomes free, and starts a war for independence? I've tried several solutions and nothing happens.

[ancient vapor]

replace_path="map"

idr if it works though

[kindred axle]

Watch from hoi4 files, maybe from india id you have goe

And check their Freedom path

I Remember that id you go mughal they go tò war with the allies so

The foreign policy continues. As Bavaria, you will have the options to form the Austrian Empire, German Empire, or Alpine Federation

Bavaria also receives various unique ministers now.

Im considering making a mod that "adds" the northern sea route by just making one looong canal along the top of the soviet union

It would be interesting if you had a German Confederation path to reduce Prussian dominance or something like that. So a disunited Germany, but all in one faction with some eco buffs for its members to compensate for not owning all of Germany

[glass acorn]

Nice ones

I like the icons

Hello modders, how do u make your plans or preparations before starting a mod? I wanna learn as a beginner

[kindred axle]

meaning ?

[frosty gulch]

Well what I’m trying to ask is, I’m trying to create my first mod but don’t know how to start, so I’m asking for knowledge of other modders on how they properly start. My issue is the planing of a mod

anyone know how to fix this error? get it everytime i trigger an event

[pale sparrow]

Presumably youve broken either the event image or background

[wise cradle]

Is mapgen a good resources to use for map modding

[rare grove]

im doing a merger

so its probably an interface problem

[wise cradle]

i know it's outdated but i pretty sure that that can be fixed

[pale sparrow]

I think Random Paradox is what you should use nowadays

[wise cradle]

You know anything about weatherpositions.txt, I decided to put every provinces under one state and I getting a error about the weatherpostions

[pale sparrow]

I never touched that file

[kindred axle]

Just write down the ideas? And start from what u prefer?

[fossil fern]

so like how do i make a country_event trigger on a certain day?

i have
trigger = {

date < 1936.12.1
}

i cant copy the full code i have rn cus im on phone

and it just doesnt work

i can bring up the event through console commands

[rigid crest]

how do i change terrain? if i wanted to make the entire world mountainous how would i do it

[pale sparrow]

Fire it from the country's history file/on actions

Triggers check only once a month

[fossil fern]

and how would i go abt doing that..?😭

[acoustic berry]

I'll have some of the expansion paths not allowed by certain ideologies. But maybe if people want it, I can embrace the insanity

[wise cradle]

[tough lotus]

Make it a gamerule

[wise cradle]

My mod just delete itself from my folder, I done

[acoustic berry]

I'm not really knowledgeable about gamerules plus it seems a little too insignificant to add

[viscid cairn]

Hey, I have a problem with creating a test event in the game. I did everything according to the Paradox guide, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing, because the event happened but nothing is happening, there is no description/title, and I'm not getting any spirit.

ok it's works now for some reason i think is "add_idea" i change to "add_ideas"

but title/desc is not changed still somehow is the deafult

[tough lotus]

add_idea is for swap_ideas

[viscid cairn]

i mean i ate one letter

[tough lotus]

Is the localisation file encoded correctly?

[viscid cairn]

"s"

"palestine" is the main folder

[tough lotus]

Bottom right corner, should say UTF-8 if it's wrongly encoded

[viscid cairn]

im dump

[tough lotus]

Click, save with encoding, UTF-8 with BOM

[tough lotus]

Click that, it's a button

Not a very obvious one but it is

[viscid cairn]

i'm sorry?

I don't understand

[tough lotus]

Click UTF-8

[viscid cairn]

done

i find what you mean

is done should i restart game?

Or just save?

[tough lotus]

Are you in debug mode?

[viscid cairn]

yes

[tough lotus]

Then I think you just have to save

[viscid cairn]

still the same

maybe the name is problem

[pulsar steppe]

I love whenever hoi4 updates mods just break

[viscid cairn]

i new in this universum and i don't understand still connnection betwen files i mean how files "TEST" know where is modifier to "EVENT"

So file PAL_events works good but theres no connection betwen him PAL_events and PAL_ideas_names_I_english.yaml

[echo sphinx]

Turns out forts and having like 3 field armies full of infantry divisions works pretty well against germanys invasion

[ancient vapor]

you have to name the entries in the localisation file the same as in the events file

[viscid cairn]

you mean that?

[ancient vapor]

yes?

Just to be clear

[viscid cairn]

still the same

not work :C

[ancient vapor]

I mean the stuff like mod_event.1.t

you copy that title to the localization file

[ancient vapor]

check if you have UTF BOOM activated in the localisation file

Cuz what you just showed me seems good

[ancient vapor]

dammit

[viscid cairn]

funny is i have also the same file for National focuses yes?

And this is work still

PAL_focuses_names just change the ID to Name

[ancient vapor]

ok now i have no idea

[viscid cairn]

and that's work

and idk im stupid somehow somewhere xD

[ancient vapor]

wait for the professionals i guess

Its usually something really small

You missed a letter or something

[viscid cairn]

i see one letter i miss "s" in "ideas"

i repair that so now focuses has modifer about political power

but this is "graphic" design about change ID to actually name

and somehow is not connect

[worn veldt]

hello guys!

[tepid notch]

It says "PAL_ideas_names_l_english" right?

[tepid notch]

Bc you wrote an i over here so that might be it

[viscid cairn]

Names is now like this

[tepid notch]

Yes but the thing before english

Is it an l or capital i

[viscid cairn]

i

i guess

[tepid notch]

Thats the problem

[viscid cairn]

shoould be l

?

[tepid notch]

Yes

Bc it sort of stands for "language = english"

[viscid cairn]

Ye i need lern more english i think the guy on tutorial say that

[viscid cairn]

i understand now

:))))

[tepid notch]

No problem lol I also made the same mistake when I started

[viscid cairn]

he says "LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

IM fuc#### deaf

i guess

eh

that's should be big l like "L"

so you can easy see what is that

I and l

is kinda the same

if you blind like me xD

[tepid notch]

Also the first line in the file should also be something like l_english: I think

So maybe check if thats not an i as well

[viscid cairn]

is hard to see XD

i try now

wait

[tepid notch]

Yes ik lol

[viscid cairn]

if that's gonna work correctly i just los something like 1.5h

oh fu## ###

paradox why

[tepid notch]

It worked?

[viscid cairn]

thx mate XD

[viscid cairn]

yes

[tepid notch]

Lol no problem

[viscid cairn]

work great

today i just ate one letter and place wrong one!

XD

[tepid notch]

Its just a small detail that changes a lot in the code

Everyone can make mistakes like that lol

[viscid cairn]

btw. you understand my english? XD sorry for asking but I'm just curious

[tepid notch]

Ofc, your english isnt bad lol

[viscid cairn]

ye true i know that i also use HTML/CSS/PHP + some linux/database and i know that one time in work i sit for 10hours and try to run Linux server who controll all school network and he still don't want works then i sit and look at the code i wrote and kinda have dead braine i see i just give ; not :

xD

10hours

btw. again thx for helping me XD!

[tepid notch]

No problem!

[viscid cairn]

i'm sorry if i can

how that should be named?

"PAL_focuses_names_l_english.yml"?

or like the folder

it's working how it is but i want to ask so gonna be better that's is : )

[golden totem]

doesnt matter, it just has to have the l_english.yml at the end

[sharp knoll]

Uh, why is this happening?

[tough lotus]

You copied a basegame file, deleted it's contents and didn't change the name?

Or instead of copying it you accidentally moved it

[sharp knoll]

Alright thanks

What files do you think are relevant here? Are they in the localization or interface? My ship designer has problems too

Well, other problems

[gleaming moon]

Hey I have a question for you guys. When I create a mod how like when I create a mod in the mod launcher in the Hearts of Iron 4 launcher, how do I move it out of Onedrive because it puts it in One drive. Documents Paradox Interactive Hearts of Iron 4 mod and I was told that One Drive breaks mods but I'm not sure how to get it out because I'm not sure if what the fact that any mod I should have created doesn't work whether it's the code or whether it's the fact that it's in One drive.

[pale sparrow]

Id just uninstall one drive if you dont use it

[gleaming moon]

How do I do that?

[pale sparrow]

Google it for the most up-to-date stuff, I uninstalled it ages ago

[gleaming moon]

ok

[gleaming moon]

Also, would this be the correct? Location for mods to work even if they're not uploaded to the workshop yet. Which would this be the correct address or what's the correct address?

[pale sparrow]

Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod

is where local mods sit

[gleaming moon]

ok

Yeah, because whenever they're there, they just never work. Probably because of Onedrive, but I'm not sure 'cause I'm not an expert modder, I'm basically just trying to start out and make a simple portrait mod.

what nation should i start with?

[tough lotus]

Go into your help thread there and send your mod files, I'll take a look at it

[wet sequoia]

how do I send mod files

[tough lotus]

drag and drop

although preferably zip the folder first

[wet sequoia]

it's 90kb

[tough lotus]

Still spares us from having to download and arrange the files

[wet sequoia]

[wet sequoia]

do i send every single file

You could have hidden event chains that unlock the tech if you store variables of the length of each one

[mild inlet]

Is the fallout mod ive heard about the old world blues one?

[dusty linden]

Old world blues is the fallout mod

[wet sequoia]

do I need to put a 0 after each localisation name

like for example

national_spirit:0 "National Spirit"

or can I omit the 0

[tough lotus]

You can technically omit that

[wet sequoia]

wdym by technically

[tough lotus]

No one does it

[wet sequoia]

wait if there is a trigger for reducing focus times, would it be hard to add it to every foci and if a player is controlling the country reducing the time to complete it, or am i misunderstanding the tag system for foci?

like the Philippines ones with le military

[pale sparrow]

Yes, youd have to manually fill in every focus ID/have a Python script make lists of focus IDs for each country and set those in variables

[sharp knoll]

Is this the right way to put dependencies in a descriptor file?

dependencies={
  "The Road to 56"
  "The Road to 56 [Beta]"
}
tags={
  "Alternative History"
  "Events"
  "Gameplay"
  "National Focuses"
  "Technologies"
  "Fixes"
  "Ideologies"
  "Graphics"
}
name="The Extra Mile"
supported_version="1.17.3.0"```

[pale sparrow]

Yes

iirc you have to copy it into the .mod

[solemn gale]

Anyone knows a good mod that adds more states that’s also a bit compatible

[cloud bobcat]

who is carl and how did he become a country

[viscid cairn]

Good evening, what command/instruction do I need to enter after “Complete_reward” to change my country from Mandatory_Palestine tag: PAL
to the destination country Kingdom of Jerusalem tag: KOJ
Folder with leader/flag created
also folder with country color
also folder defining where the country should be located

[pale sparrow]

Compatible with what?

In general all map mods have equally awful compatibility with formable mods/focus tree mods, etc

[pale sparrow]

change_tag_from

[viscid cairn]

Can I ask something first, because I don't know how to do it better: should I create a new country in folders such as “KOJ” Kingdom of Jerusalem and move from Palestine to the kingdom through focus, and then the files will be “shuffled,” Or should I just add “when focus is done, change the flag from A to B and the color from A to B, change the name from A to B, and leave everything else as it is” after performing focus? I would appreciate your advice on this matter.

because the whole tree should remain the same as in Palestine because it is only an “event” the rebirth of the kingdom of Jerusalem the capital is the same everything is the same except for the flag/ruling person/party name/color of the state and that's it

[keen bolt]

So it’s probably not compatible then…

Although I will do trial and error because I’m bored

wtf it didn’t crash

I’m scared

--- EAST-WEST SPLIT ---
One option for the Legacy of Germany. Will grant buffs ("United Culture") in compensation for not receiving cores on all of Germany

[lofty plaza]

So what's the lore like

[acoustic berry]

Basically (and yeah it's unrealistic, but what's the fun in it being so) separatists rise up and declare their independence from Germany, eventually fracturing the entire country.

Bavaria will have the most unique content, and within their path of German legacy, will have two options:
A. Actually form Germany, and reconcile with the Prussians from a past of oppression
B. Only form West Germany, excluding the Prussians and getting your revenge on them, creating a new Eastern German state under your boot

All of this is possible with the completion of these two new focuses at the start of the German focus tree, in mutual exclusivity with Rhineland and Rally the Wehrmacht

I mean for me it fix if I Annex them in the peace deal then release them later

Also pretty sure there a focus that stop them from breaking away although that might be the UK rework I played

Really quick question.

Who will receive the event in this?

I want my custom country to specifically get this event when Greece has over 50% capitulation

At the top of the trigger, check that it is your country

[neon wagon]

Quick question, is it possible to spawn finished ships by completing an focus? And do the used modules have to be researched or does it still work if they aren´t?

[lone hearth]

Yes it is

[neon wagon]

and would you know how? Becouse I can´t seem to find anything online

[lone hearth]

create_ship

Or do it via an oob

But create ship is more dynamic so it works better

[neon wagon]

Thanks

[tough lotus]

RoN was doing it through an oob that was also broken

do yall know any good mods that arent like, kaiserredux, rt56, or old world blues?

ive tried a lot more than that, but those were just the examples i used

[untold junco]

The US focus tree is kinda there

[burnt hornet]

its there its just unplayable because it has no cores

its better in mods

it has cores but you cant release it cause palesntine is a puppet at the start of the game

Does anyone know where the game stores equipment 3d model access for a nation? The logic needed for the game to know the AST tag should have similar access to the 3d models for it's tanks as the ENG tag.

[subtle plover]

in rt56 can you only play those nation on the screen?

I seen people play other nations but idk how

[bright fog]

On the right there should be button with a blank portrait

Clicking on that shows you the world map and allows you to play other nations by clicking on them on the map

hey folks im trying to add a custom leader to scotland. I've already made it independent but I can't figure out how to get a custom leader. So far I just get Jack Donaghue or some other random leader.

[deft aurora]

Leaders are made in the history file history/country/(the country) . When you click on the file, somewhere it will say create_country_leader

There the leader is made, along with their ideology, picture and sub-ideology

The picture for the leader is in gfx/leaders/(country-tag)

Rather define a character in common/characters and recruit_character in the history file

does ANYONE have a All the Russias 4.0/5.0 (or really just any version of All the Russias for HoI2) saved anwhere? I have tried 5 different links and all of the m are down. I know it's a bit trivial in the grand scheme of things but this is a big part of Kaiserreich's development history , and I would love for it to be preserved for posterity, just to prevent it from becoming lost media. If anyone has it, please ping me and we can work on getting the file hosted again
specifically All the Russias, pre-Kaiserreich

[humble cedar]

(srry for the ping >.<) Where do I go to create that action?

what files do I create?

[viscid cairn]

HI

Is there any way to check after saving what or who could have crashed or bugged the game?

[tough lotus]

-crash_data_log

needs to be enabled at the time of the crash

-debug can help with regular bugs, should always be enabled while modding because it has hot reload

[viscid cairn]

but where you mean before game or in mod?

i can't open save on debug becouse i don't have 2 dlcs xD

[tough lotus]

launch options in steam

[viscid cairn]

and where i can find this files?

[tough lotus]

Get someone who does to open it for you

[viscid cairn]

i mean where that files be generated?

[tough lotus]

It isn't

[viscid cairn]

oh

[tough lotus]

Launch options are basically command line arguments

You could technically make a shortcut with them

Or put them directly into cmd

What am I doing wrong here? Please help, the event isn't triggering. I've been trying for two days, watched every video about modding, but it's not working.

[tough lotus]

the events folder doesn't go in common

Events also only check their triggers every 20 days or so

[grim crown]

Did you see any other mistakes?

[tough lotus]

so you'll have to play at least that long until you know if it works correctly

The events I created aren't visible to me, what could be the reason? But when I upload the mod to the workshop and someone else downloads it, it becomes visible to them. What could be the reason for this?

[tough lotus]

Did you download the steam version of your mod? Usually that's not necessary and will break things

[grim crown]

I've tried both downloading and not downloading, and in both cases, the focus trees and events don't show up for me. The main game's focus tree and events are visible, but there's a problem: if someone else from the Workshop downloads the mod, only they can see the focus tree and events I created; I'm the only one who can't see them.

[hushed sun]

Im making a guarantee through an event. Is there a way to stop the "guarantee offer has been accepted" popup from showing up?

Anybody know a good historical mod that's not quite as complex as Black Ice, but more than vanilla? I played Total War for years, but it's dead.

Any input is welcome, just no crazy alt-history.

Vanilla+ mods like Road to 56 include a lot of bugfixes though

[spiral hatch]

ok

[pale sparrow]

No I mean, there aren't really any worthwhile mods that have as only purpose to fix vanilla bugs

[spiral hatch]

i see. thanks

not that there arent many such bugs, but big overhauls tend to have loads more fixes than dedicated bugfix mods

why dont mods have reworked peace deals system

cuz like the vannila peace deals system is useless ( it doesnt exist)

while i see modders doing everything unimaginable to the game but never a simple mechanic such as peace deals

[tough lotus]

Peace deals are hardcoded

We can change ai behavior

[buoyant spruce]

what does that mean

[buoyant spruce]

what would that benifit us if we cant end wars either by us capitulation or them capitulating which doesnt make any sense

[tough lotus]

That's how ww2 ended

Which is the main war in the base game

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2412445347

what if we play any other non ww2 mod

not so efficent

outdated too i guess

[dusty linden]

56 is just vanilla enhanced

[abstract pier]

Yea looks pretty fun, especially since i love playing smaller nations.

[dusty linden]

56 is 100% a good mod and one of the best

Just like, it doesnt really do much really. Its nice if you want a better vanilla experience.

[fervent laurel]

can someone make a mod that replaces the update to the faction research speed ?

i will just copy paste what i said on the forum

"Please change faction research so the requirement "average knows tech in faction is 75 is equal to 125 or greater" (numbers are random) this faction focus is not possible to complete because everyone is so far behind in research (also by adding new countries to your faction you are making it harder to complete it ( cause they have 0 known tech so it will grief your faction progress ( for example adding independent montegro and serbia to your faction when playing as germany ))) ."

like earlier to complete it you would need to complete tasks "faction members have 100 technologies researched" and now it is "average tech knows is ... "

[crimson igloo]

As in the letters limit

[crimson igloo]

Alright, good to know
And how many of these tips can I have? I noticed the base game has 155, can I go over that without modifying any other files?

[shrewd girder]

Does anyone have a money mod that doesn't tank the performance/is not overly complicated?

[tough lotus]

155 would be an odd number to cap it at

[tough lotus]

-# Victoria 3

[crimson igloo]

Well, I didn't choose it, the hoi4 devs did

So is the limit equal? Greater? If greater, then what's the cap? 255? 1000?

[tough lotus]

I know, I'm just saying it'd be odd to cap the number at 155

[crimson igloo]

Yeah

[shrewd girder]

Why didnt I think of that

its too much complicated

Idk. Maybe there isn't one directly

[dim bronze]

what color model does hoi4 use for countries?

[pale sparrow]

typically RGB

hsv works as well as you use that before the values instead

I assume without anything specified it presumes RGB

Not really

[snow wigeon]

would it be possible to make it so an air wing needs more manpower to be fielded than what is actually contained in the planes?

[pale sparrow]

Very much sounds like something thatd be hardcoded

[pale sparrow]

Wdym by that

You can make conditional ones by adding triggers into them directly, though it adds a false positive error

[vague sand]

no i meant how to i take this:

and make it look like this:

[pale sparrow]

ah, drawing them

[vague sand]

okay

[pale sparrow]

xd no clue on the actual answer, sorry, I do code

[vague sand]

np man

[golden totem]

The color changes when you dont put anything I've seen when I sometimes forget to put rgb in the top one

[snow wigeon]

from tinkering around with the "service manpower" settings in the tank files

it seems that "service manpower" on tanks is a complete and utter lie?

even when doubling the manpower that a tank needs, the battalion stats of the tank are completely identical to without the change

so it literally doesn't do anything

what's even the point of the game telling us this stat if it isn't factored into any calculation anywhere and is purely visual??!

[pale sparrow]

Not unthinkable, I think there are some other broken/unimplemented variables

[snow wigeon]

it is used on planes

but for some reason, even though it appears for tanks, it doesn't do anything

[vernal meadow]

hi i want to start modding, but i have no clue how to

[tough lotus]

Tutorials and the wiki are pinned in this channel

If you mean the pdx tutorials

[vernal meadow]

are the tutorials outdated tho? (the onex from pdx)

[tough lotus]

They're pretty recent, they'll work fine

[snow wigeon]

is there a way to make battalion sizes/stats differ based on the equipment you use? like for example to have 70 light tanks in a light tank battalion instead of the usual 60 but only if specific equipment is being used

I'm guessing this sort of thing is hardcoded

I don't know what wrong ?, I trying to make a land strait crossing and it won't appear (i know that is isn't ceuta pro id i was just trying to get it to work it it won't)

[vague sand]

Hey, any namespaces to find the controler of a specific province?

[pale sparrow]

province_controllers array is the only place to access that

[vague sand]

thanks, but i just moved around it

hey i have this event:

country_event = {  # Hitler Commits Sudicide!
    id = germany.1050
    title = germany.1050.t
    desc = germany.1050.desc
    picture = GFX_report_event_german_reichstag_gathering
    trigger = {
        original_tag = GER
            any_enemy_country = { controls_province = 6521 }
            has_country_leader = {
                    character = GER_adolf_hitler
                ruling_only = yes
            }
    }


    is_triggered_only = yes
    option = { Der Krieg ist verloren...
        name = germany.1050.e    
        kill_country_leader = yes
        add_war_support = -0.10
        add_stability = -0.10
        custom_effect_tooltip = GER_german_translation_tooltip_1
    }    
}

But when every trigger is checked it doesnt activate. Does anyone know why? Ive been stuck on this for like 10 minutes

[nimble solar]

Maybe look at the event during the GCW when you take Berlin

That might be something to base your code around

[pale sparrow]

is_triggered_only means it only appears when manually triggered and ignores the trigger block*

[south plover]

is there any mod where its like from the start of ww1 to like the end of the cold war?

like its a century long timelime

[vague sand]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh okay okay

[tough lotus]

[earnest stirrup]

[tranquil moss]

[tranquil moss]

doesnt it change focuses tho?

or game system

[pale sparrow]

yeh

though you can still play almost all vanilla content

[tranquil moss]

ok

ill try it

[tall hare]

Do I get back into modding

[dusty linden]

Yes and its peak

[wise cradle]

It is peak

[mild siren]

so many states

[weak girder]

is there an up to date mod that adds a kaiserreich-esk division limit?

[undone socket]

Is there a ww1 mod other then gwr that is also really good ? I tried to play gwr as the historical political of Italy (except for the fact that i chose to join the central powers) but no matter what I did , no matter how many industrial focuses or military focuses i took , I always ended up with a weak Italy, the only time I felt like I made an impact. Where I did something different was the Italo Turkish war where I won that one In like 2 months , other then that , by the time the Great war begins , I am unable to do anything to France and anyone else since my military debuffs are so titanic that I am unable to push at all .
Anyway, is there another ww1 mod that would be better to play ?

[pale sparrow]

Not really afaik

Even multiple frontpage mods have surprisingly little content

[undone socket]

Darn , i gusse ill just play and win as Germany so I can comfortably move to the kaisereich mod , i really tried as Italy but it's just too frustrating and bothersome to play.

[golden totem]

I mean in vanilla you can make a couple of puppets as non aligned germany like the united Baltic duchy and a couple for Scotland and wales

[round turret]

Uhm guys, can you help me with the TNO mod, i have encountered a problem, there isn't any focus tree at all

Can someone point me to a section or a discord dedicated for hoi 4 3D modelling?

I was trying to retexture a model for the TFR mod and I'm having lots of issues and I'm not really that good at blender either.

[frank sable]

question, in TFR, i've seen people starting after the euro war, is there a way you can do that?

[woeful needle]

Turn off historical focuses if your getting bored of normal gameplay

[stark kindle]

[native glacier]

[grand turret]

is there a mod to toggle "Select All" option at the Peace Conference interface?

[wise cradle]

I have begun the creation of my rivers.bmp map

Pray for me when I get to the normal world map and the colour map

[pale sparrow]

Unless thats hidden away in some interface file I assume thats hardcoded

[vague sand]

Yo does anyone know if there is a mod that allows you to invade an enemy nation from a peacefull country that gave you military access?

[zinc girder]

Guys howok but which mod yall suggest?

[zinc girder]

[vague sand]

Hey, when making states based on IRL, what map should i search for?

[zinc girder]

I think it had for british raj not india or pakistan specefically.

[tropic valve]

is there a mod that changes the color of puppets to your color and also works in iron man mode?

[pale sparrow]

Dont believe so

[tropic valve]

dang

[ruby raft]

What programming language do you need to start modding?

[arctic mural]

Hebrew

🔥

[ruby raft]

Hebrew is a language not a programming language

[shut dawn]

You don't really need to learn one

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modding

Just check out the wiki and read up on whatever you're wanting to do

[tropic trout]

Hoi4 modding is mostly text file editing rather than coding

Look up a quick youtube tutorial on hoi4 modding, theres a few out there and you can pick it up quickly, or install a mod and have a look at the files and see how they created stuff

Its very straight forward once youve messed around with it a little bit

I personally practiced by adding nations, making focus trees etc before trying to make anything "official"

[hasty hemlock]

guys

i generated a custom map with randomparadox

but it loads vanilla map instead

i checked and i think i lack default.map

or whatever that is

how do i generate it or make it?

[pale sparrow]

Thats irrelevant because it only indicates filenames

[hasty hemlock]

oh

[tough lotus]

country political map usually leads to easier to work with states

[vague sand]

Oh wow it actually works well! Thanks!

[tough lotus]

Since most data you'll find will be divided by political districts

[vague sand]

yeah, seems like it. Thanks!

Been doing some work on a reworked democratic path for Iceland

[burnt vigil]

need ideas for my focus tree rework for canada, mainly how the political tree will go

[kindred axle]

you could add some focuses about buffs in the democratic path like the welfare state and CCF based buffs with the dominion of canada path

u could add a path of friendship with teh commenwealth and add referendums like the one to make newfoundland canadian

[burnt vigil]

so for the "steady as she sails" (historical Mackenzie King path), focus a lot on the inner development of canada as aside to say, the Communist Party of Canada (Communist CPC path) where it diverges between stalin and the comintern, or indepndant communism, as an example?

mostly asking, since this is the first time i have had to make a focus tree that wasn't easy to flesh out like spain or germany

[kindred axle]

the communist party should be selected by vote, like in ussr, what kind of communist u want to be, so the path can be more diverse and selective

[burnt vigil]

alright, so basically a system like the bulgrian/greek political system for the parliment stuff

[kindred axle]

another thing u could add are multicultirism debuff at the start and mix in the political tree/industry some buffs, as the difference of teh quebec province from the rest of canada was pretty big

[kindred axle]

ye

[burnt vigil]

fair, as for stuff like military it might just be a bunch of focuses for operations canada had a huge part of, like Huskey (italy campaign), or Overlord (normandy landings), with some buffs to develop the canadian military heritage from the great war

[kindred axle]

and for a fascist path u could add a english enforcer so it can lower the stab but gain more buffs related to a apartheid system like ruled by english canadian over the rest of canadian minorities

[kindred axle]

ig

[burnt vigil]

true, atp i could just make the mod a mod focused around the commonwealth as a whole

adding a whole system for votes based off predetermined AI for historical, and randomness for alt-hist

[kindred axle]

some big ideas would be "heirs to the Storm Troopers" tho canadian, in ww1 canada was very well known for their different way of combat

more like caused by their morale

[burnt vigil]

yea, like "heritage of the great war" which starts off with huge maluses to war support, recruitable pop, but buff to stability at peace and population growth rate, to represent the baby boom of the 1920's and its slow trickle into the depression

as well as maybe adding a whole great depression recovery system

[kindred axle]

Johnny Canuck is a folklore hero who was created as a political cartoon in 1869 and was later re-invented as a Second World War action hero in 1942

[burnt vigil]

lmfao referencing him would be awesome

[kindred axle]

u could alwasy add those propaganda posters who give temporary buffs

[burnt vigil]

i could also add a focus or 2 about the natives and their relative support for fighting in the war

[kindred axle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Canuck

its a must

[burnt vigil]

but for rn, gotta do some content adding to my focuses i feel

[kindred axle]

https://giphy.com/gifs/star-wars-yoda-the-empire-strikes-back-pvDp7Ewpzt0o8

[burnt vigil]

even tho it's only 2, legit might wanna add some depth before i throw stuff in like PP or events

[kindred axle]

when i made national focuses i would have just putted in the name of teh focus, no reward and jsut write with #the content i would have added later

i first drew the focus tree and then fill it

[burnt vigil]

fair

i would do this on edge.hoi4modding.com, or whatever the website has been renamed to, but that's a lot more work when i still gotta code it in

[kindred axle]
