modding

[pale sparrow]

Maybe you gotta relaunch the game after pressing save

[grim crown]

When testing mods, where should you launch the game from: the file location or Steam?

[pale sparrow]

Wdym

[grim crown]

Because the mods don't work for me in a way I don't understand.

[dapper sluice]

is there any way to make these countries look like they are actually part of ussr (like the colors)

and also is there a puppet type for soviet countries just like german reich has instead of intergrated puppet?

[kindred axle]

Make the puppet autonomous state use the overlord color

Or Just change It manually in colors.txt

[green fjord]

Anyone pls help! I tried to made own country and i cant see it on map. I tried do it myself and after it with AI called Cursor and when ai trying to make country it isnt exist in map too. What i need to do, to solve this problem

[opaque cloud]

You guys know what mod from the old game “hearts of Iron darkest hour “ , I think, ought to be remade in hoi4?

The 1914 mod. A epic mod spanning from 1897 to 1925.

Huge epic build up to ww1 beginning at the tail end of the Victorian age

I know we have the Great War redux mod and even rise of nations but… the first only starts in 1910 and the other is.. good but it’s laggy maybe because it has a entire century’s worth of content

[green fjord]

You can try to change the color of the countries in the files of mod

[kindred axle]

I dont think ai Is very reliable, its Better to do It by yourself, It aint gonna take much too

[green fjord]

This ai is very good. It was doing as me

And it was trying to solve this problem

[kindred axle]

Check tags and look at the states assigned tag, the country tags, the color of it

[green fjord]

I checked all of them

[mellow brook]

guys

[green fjord]

And another fact i was trying it to do yesterday and when i was coding country was shown in VS code hoi4 map

[dapper sluice]

why is it that when i do autonomous_state = autonomy_satellite on poland it makes the country a intergrated puppet

[mellow brook]

is there a mod that disables all of the like world tension limits and stuff for non aligned nations?

[kindred axle]

Dunno how to help with this

[kindred axle]

Do they count as integrated or satellite?

In the diplomacy tab

[dapper sluice]

i want to make poland a sattelite

[kindred axle]

In the presets before starting the game there are some settings on the world tension? Or Just do a Little change with a mod of the aligned ideology

[dapper sluice]

integrated

[kindred axle]

Then change them to a normal puppet ig, or do you want them to keep the color Red too?

[dapper sluice]

i want poland without the red color so ig ill make it a normal puppet

[kindred axle]

Aye

[mellow brook]

Yeah that works too, thanks i meant like all limits (you cant go war economy or conscription law while at peace) but thanks anyway

[dapper sluice]

How do i move attach a focus file to a country

[kindred axle]

What?

[dapper sluice]

like how do i put a national focus into a country that, if i play as the country i can use that focus tree

[kindred axle]

So a normal focus tree?

[dapper sluice]

ye

[kindred axle]

I think you Just do a common/national_focuses

Create a file or Copy and laste a vanilla One and do It?

https://youtu.be/ICXehJXTQ2M?is=vZcAdQvdXce2z6FN

[tough lotus]

We try our best

[opaque cloud]

Amazing job overall though! Not shaking it

*shaming

[manic sparrow]

keep getting unexpected token errors for vanilla files, errors only appear after reloading ideas after typing "reload ideas" or editing a spirit

[manic sparrow]

if i reload the save, same errors, no errors when first launching and loading into the game

no missing brackets (or extra ones)

[dapper sluice]

made the west germany tree

[tawny spruce]

there should be a mod where it continues after ww2 into a cold war until like 1960

[dapper sluice]

-# thats kind of exactly what im making rn

[tawny spruce]

perfect

[manic sparrow]

anybody know the reason/solution to this?

[tawny spruce]

maybe make a thingy where west germany unites with austria

idk would be cool

[dapper sluice]

weird my west germany keeps crashing because of this

anyone got a fix or smth?

the base game west germany doesnt seem to include that..

[glass acorn]

Does anyone know how to add the UI for an added resource?

[glass acorn]

Show the code for the respective line

It says it's around line 213

[dapper sluice]

The thing that makes it crash is the “failed to generate a name…”

[glass acorn]

It doesn't

That just means it couldn't make a unique country-specific name

If so, they just default to generic Western names such as "John" "Bob" etc

[tough lotus]

99% of the time the last error isn't actually the cause of the crash

Usually the error that does cause it never gets logged, as the game crashes before it can do that

[dapper sluice]

the game crashes when this news appears

[dapper sluice]

is it because there is no german reich (in teritory)

[elder dock]

anyone know why I cant install any mods?

like they just dont do anything

[acoustic berry]

Assuming this is a historical Cold War mod, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia should be directly owned by the USSR. Also, the Soviets should own Carpathian Ruthenia

Also Poland shouldn't own Eastern Sudetenland

[fathom umbra]

Is anyone here familiar with how to make a custom inner circle

[kindred axle]

does anyone know a mod with accurate terrain texture ?

like, with accurate terrain map

[white dune]

you have to make a mod folder inside the hoi4 launcher if thats what you mean

[meager drum]

Why am I getting this error when I am exporting my map from RandomParadox version 0.10.1? I really need help since I have been trying to find out for an hour or two.

(solved)

[hidden maple]

i would like to make a mod to add democratic path to russia because the current options i tried with mods are pretty neh in my opinion. i can do basic hoi4 modding but if anyone would have time i would love some help. maybe we can make the mod together i guess. especially help with GFX because i have no idea how to do that
plan:
democratic path under the revolution.
3 main paths:
1:
the "historical": the union shits itself basically. colapses. continue playing as russian federation. get huge debuffs on army, economy and everything basicaly.
slowly in 2-4 years recover.
get better relations with neighbouring countrys. 3 paths on that. allies (uk usa france), csto 0.0: basically csto. 3 netural. and a choice on china. prc or the china.
2:
keep it together:
the union stays 1 to 1. and the same 3 paths but wthout CSTO, allies and netural. with a economic recovery that is faster and not as bad.
3:
western betrayal. also based on real events in the 90's russia. long story short the west betrays you slowly with stuff like your economy slowly getting worse. and at the end becoming a puppet

as said if i get atleast someone to help. which would be amazing. it would help a lot. and ofc i cant do anythng with gfx soo rip me. maybe even expand on the idea to remake all the slavic nations if we ever get done with russia or idk. if you want to join me or help i guess dm me.

[tawny spruce]

can someone ever make a modern day mod that lasts 20+ years thats good and DOESNT kill your pc

[hidden maple]

the issue with it in my opinion that there is a lot of bias. look at ukraine russia. and it eighter end up with western world (basically nato) being op 90% of time. or the eastern world being op. or maybe in that 10% we get one that has no/low bias. but then he will get attacked from both sides. i can't make i'm barely getting into modding. but you could try out novum vexilum with novum vexilum global conflict. its in that 10%.

[tawny spruce]

I tried novum vexilum and its ass

played as france and theres virtually no content

[hidden maple]

thats why global conflict

it reworks stuff

like russia complete rework

[tawny spruce]

does it add a lot of focuses

because its missing that

[hidden maple]

2000-2011 ish

sec

[tawny spruce]

i would play MD

but its impossible to run

[hidden maple]

MD?

[tawny spruce]

milenium dawn

[hidden maple]

aaa

[tawny spruce]

looks good tbf

but are the focuses long enough for 30 yrs

plus the economy system is soooo weird

I got booming economy and it gives TINY buffs

[hidden maple]

removed here

[tawny spruce]

Tbf

[hidden maple]

to some level

[hidden maple]

i will get back to trying to plan out a focus tree for this. idk if no one can help i prob scrap it.

[hidden maple]

want link for it?

or you find it

[tawny spruce]

Ehhh i still prolly wont like it

I might check it out

[hidden maple]

fair

[tulip gazelle]

behold

[tawny spruce]

why did people have to put all their effort into a mod like this and not something else

[tulip gazelle]

this is pretty much the line of reasoning

[hidden maple]

lol

[tough lotus]

Basically what you want doesn't exist
In terms of modern day mods you either play MD or Novum Vexilum + GC

[tawny spruce]

MD is sooo poorly optimized

cant run it unless u have a god pc

[tough lotus]

Except that https://millenniumdawn.github.io/Millennium-Dawn/dev-diaries/54-the-great-performance-crusade/

[tawny spruce]

when is ts

[tough lotus]

No idea I don't keep up with MD

[hidden maple]

ok if we talk about what mods we want

i want a early cold war mod that is not the cold war mod we have

1945-1960

the one we have is descent

but neh. for me the gui is soo bad

[white dune]

I am trying to make a mod without watching videos, and only searching it up

so far I have managed to give lands to nations, and rename them

well I watched some videos but I didn't actually learn that much from them because I stopped at the start mostly

[hidden maple]

what mod are you trying to make?

[white dune]

if instead of prussia unifying germany, bavaria did

napoleon III remains in power

and ww1 happens in the 1920s

[hidden maple]

i'm not into germany's history

[white dune]

what do you like

[hidden maple]

1936 start date?

[white dune]

you like ww2 you mean?

[hidden maple]

no i mean

i was just curious

when the mod starts

you said 1920's ww1

[white dune]

it is currently 1936, but I want it to be in the 1920s

[hidden maple]

aa

[white dune]

I didn't change it yet

[hidden maple]

soo ww1

[white dune]

yes

[hidden maple]

ok

ok

maybe i could help

[white dune]

how though

[hidden maple]

i'm pretty bad at modding but i know ssome of the basics

[white dune]

I am the same

[hidden maple]

i guess we can do it together? xD

[white dune]

I don't know how to share a mod

[hidden maple]

aa ye..

same.

[white dune]

maybe competition between us

whoever finish first wins

[hidden maple]

maybe?

can i make any mod?

or that genre

not genre*

but that mod you said

[white dune]

yes

[hidden maple]

because the issue is i cant do gfx, and i didnt do stuff that adds new country

i made reworks

[white dune]

oh

[hidden maple]

for yugoslavia but i lost it sadly

[white dune]

I realize I messed up my mod because germany has no leader

[hidden maple]

rip

[white dune]

this is the unfinished version, I still got to recolour nations and change the borders

and some nations exist that aren't supposed to

[hidden maple]

Do you know how to make gfx?

[white dune]

yes

well make it no

not very well

[hidden maple]

Copy it? yess

xD

[white dune]

yes

[hidden maple]

XDD

same

[white dune]

I mean you can just do a striped flag

but thats not much of one

[hidden maple]

portrais

more important for me

[white dune]

definitely no

[hidden maple]

then flags

same xD

well. an idea. lets

beg anyone that has experience at modding to help us XD

or jjust you

[white dune]

I suppose you can just create a mod that has the base game leaders, and make up some scenario on how they're still leaders

joseph stalin as leader of democratic russia, even though it makes no sense

[hidden maple]

at that point i just get yeltsin

basically hes the main motivation for the C option i want

where you get your country puppeted by the alllies

i want to make democratic russia mod as said above

idk if you know it or that was just random xD

[tawny spruce]

are u making ww1 mod or sum

[hidden maple]

he's making what if bavaria united germany

not prussia

and something like that

idk

[tough lotus]

I'm working on it. Slowly

[tawny spruce]

so if bavaria united ger then france takes belgium

[tough lotus]

Very slowly

[hidden maple]

ye i heard of yall

[tough lotus]

Not RoN, a separate thing

[hidden maple]

but ngl i liked the idea. but it will never be done

[hidden maple]

aaa

can you help me? xD

XD

as i said above time to beg (dont take it seriously)

[hidden maple]

what you plan on?

full cold war?

[tough lotus]

Yep

[hidden maple]

or just like 20-50%

aa

nice

you work alone on it ?

[hidden maple]

strange question

[tough lotus]

The other active guy left to fight the russians

[hidden maple]

can i help? i'm not good at it but atleast i wanna learn it.

[tough lotus]

irl

[hidden maple]

I would prefer not commenting on this one

no hate for anyone but i might get riped from here iff i do

[tough lotus]

I'm still very much at the point where it would crash before you unpause

[hidden maple]

idfk LEMME JOIN XD i have nothing to do i have time

xD

atleast i learn something

[tough lotus]

The map doesn't even exist yet

[hidden maple]

that supposed to be an issue?

[tough lotus]

There is very little you can do without a map

[hidden maple]

well rip then(

u sure?

[tough lotus]

Although there are a lot of states with absolutely nothing going on, if you really want to you can place victory points and add population
it's very timeconsuming and boring to do though

[hidden maple]

i can try

i guess

[tawny spruce]

is hoi4 modding tuff

[shut dawn]

No it’s pretty easy. You just gotta put the time in and be ok with making something bad first

Also start small

[white dune]

still working on it

I realize this looks a lot like ww1 of our timeline so maybe I should change a few things

although realistically it could be the same if bavaria unified germany if they were expansionist also

[kindred axle]

Yes

[coral junco]

ngl the "code" syntax for modding has to be the worst thing i have ever seen.

Merge every code folder and add lua support, God bless

Somehow worse than html

[slow kestrel]

can someone tell me what files to edit to add the equipment image to the production menu for ship hulls? I added a new ship type in a mod but the production menu just shows a default tech icon instead of the correct ship gfx icon. The designer has all the correct icons and GFX just not the production menu side.

[indigo swift]

Mansyū Ki-98 :3

[thick stirrup]

does anyone know a every state divided mod that still works?

[indigo swift]

there we go sorry

[icy fable]

Are the Swedish states mostly based on the modern counties?

[tough lotus]

Loosely but yes

[white dune]

What if the cold war happened in the 1800's between france and britain

italy revolted against french rule

spain negotiated a deal with france

poland and the rhine adapted new constituions

england granted ireland autonomy

and france spilt belgium with holland as a gift

integrating holland more though

[dapper sluice]

ugh my game cant even load databases before crashing and this is everything in the error log

[white dune]

what about that provinces part?

[dapper sluice]

How do i assign a continent to a province?

[white dune]

I don't know

but I was watvhing a video to find out

and I didn't learn much, but I think that might be why

because it said it can crash very easily if provinces are wrong

that other photo I put was a bit blurry

[dapper sluice]

fixed the province continent error, still crashin'

[tough lotus]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Troubleshooting#Crash_data_log

[tough lotus]

What if Germany lost both world wars

[icy fable]

I think I have read about that timeline

[white dune]

what happened to the kaiser in this timeline?

[tough lotus]

The last Kaiser died in 1941, 9 years before the start of the mod

[white dune]

what have we done to czechia in this timeline

they look like they got wiped completely away

it appears everyone had enough of czechia

[tough lotus]

After the first one there was an attempt at a republic, then an angry austrian dude took power and promptly started a second one

[tough lotus]

Just haven't added them yet, they're united with slovakia

[white dune]

oh

[acoustic berry]

In the USA Rework, the Hoover Dam is no longer in game from the start, and opens later in the year.

[arctic mural]

this one looks familiar

did u get the idea from something maybe?

[tough lotus]

Yeah, that Iron Curtain mod

[arctic mural]

looks like an interesting timeline

[acoustic berry]

I heard this cool alternate history channel made some videos about it, perhaps you've herd of Oversimplified?

[arctic mural]

https://klipy.com/gifs/oversimplified-genius-hes-a-genius-1

[somber prairie]

anyone know of a mod that turns the old world blues into the whole map of america

[arctic mural]

wdym

OWB already has the entire US?

[somber prairie]

It does?

[arctic mural]

or do u mean a eastwards expansion

for content

[somber prairie]

im only seeing like half of it

oops

[arctic mural]

the east comes later i think

[somber prairie]

ohhh gotcha

[acoustic berry]

Roosevelt Recession

[shut dawn]

Map expansion submods add to the map

[shut dawn]

this flowchart is a guide to submods filling the map. Monarchs & Margaritas is updating in a lil over a week.

[somber prairie]

ohh sweet ill keep that in mind maybe add a few

[shut dawn]

ECR/RBR/FOD together, and later MAM will add the most content, but ECR/Map Filler add the most landmass until MAM and NER update

[pale sparrow]

"We run...away"

[arctic mural]

im not much of a OWB player so I wouldnt know that

[white dune]

does anyone know who the initials "NB" are

[meager drum]

why am i getting these errors while using random paradox?

[pale sparrow]

I imagine onedrive is causing issues as usual

[acoustic berry]

fr, never had anything good come from that

[acoustic berry]

The NEW economy tree in the USA Rework

Compared to original implementation

[white dune]

very nicely done

[acoustic berry]

thx

[white dune]

nice job

[white dune]

is there a focus for potato farming

[meager drum]

How can i disable onedrive?

[acoustic berry]

No, because I don't think that would apply really well to industry in-game, unless there's some sort of historical importance that it had especially in this time period

[acoustic berry]

Go to windows settings

[white dune]

not that much signifiance except in the midwest

[meager drum]

ok

[acoustic berry]

OK, so yeah that's why I didn't really include it. I didn't want to bloat the hell out of the tree to the point where it would just be adding focuses for the sake of adding focuses

[white dune]

is there a way to rename occupied land to new american states

[acoustic berry]

https://klipy.com/gifs/well-yes-but-actually-no-meme-1

[white dune]

such as renaming greenland to "lincoln"

[acoustic berry]

No, not like that. Mainly because the United States occupied a lot of land during this time period that could've become states, but never did, so implementing a name change would cause inconsistencies.

However, you can establish new states and some of them have special names

[lavish monolith]

never seen this before ngl

I like it but why is there "develop the east north central region" 💀 judging by the graphic couldnt u name it the midwest

[acoustic berry]

A lot

[acoustic berry]

Yes

[acoustic berry]

It's the literal name from the US Census. Blame them, not me

[acoustic berry]

This is an update for it I'm working on right now btw

[white dune]

focus resistance suppression

[dapper sluice]

last read was the yugoslavia's tree last line

[tranquil charm]

I played your mod before, it's awesome, but an update definitely would be great

[wanton rapids]

Does HoI4 have the same -develop functionality that ck3 has [autorefreshing edited mod files]?

[tough lotus]

-debug

[tough lotus]

common/national_focus/*.txt – This crash, granted that it's the last line of the last file in the folder, can be caused by a focus tree using a shared_focus = my_focus argument, specifying a shared focus that does not exist.

[wanton rapids]

Oh so the default debug includes that already? Cool, thanks

[tough lotus]

Only for files that already existed when the game was launched (with the exception of files that get loaded from another file, mainly oobs and gfx, although gfx look weird because the game doesn't handle them correctly in that case), and it doesn't reload history/countries, history/states and map

There is no way around those limitations

[white dune]

why will the united states of america become known as the united states of america

[undone socket]

Hey guys , I wanted to ask , is rt56 a good mod to play instead of vanilla if I dont have all the dlcs ? (I only have la resistence and by blood alone)

[shut dawn]

It's still pretty good. I played it with only those DLCs and had a good time

Another good mod to play with little to no DLC is Old World Blues.

[undone socket]

That's good , I honestly felt bored playing vanilla, especially since its not easy to buy the dlcs cause my country's currency can't be used in steam , thanks for the response !

[shut dawn]

No problem. Hope you have fun

[valid niche]

The focus tree ended as soon as 1938

Lithuania major? Lets goooo🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🇱🇹

[raven nebula]

Oh shoot, not Konrad Adenauer

[dapper sluice]

He never die

my mod is really early in development so the leaders are still the vanilla ones even tho the mod takes place in 1976-1992

Also is there a way to make a focus remove the puppet status/make it independent

[wanton rapids]

Is there any way to graphically modify the ownership of states in the start date or is it only possible through text files?

[dapper sluice]

Anyone? I tried the same autonomy thing you add in the country file but it did nothing

[white dune]

there is probably someone whos made a system like that

[dapper sluice]

does "OVERLORD = { set_autonomy = { target = ROOT autonomy_state = autonomy_free } }" work?

[white dune]

there is I think

[pale sparrow]

Theres a simpler command for that

overlord = { end_puppet = ROOT }

[dapper sluice]

thanks

it works now

[acoustic berry]

It's just the way the game displays getting a new cosmetic tag. A full cosmetic tag could include a new color, flag, and name, but in this case only the flag is changed.
Regardless, it still shows the tooltip

[acoustic berry]

Thanks!

<@&846894118219022336> Some type of scam above

[naive stump]

they are evolving

[hidden maple]

Oh what are you doing here mate? Nice mods U make

[acoustic berry]

Thx, I came to this server so I could have people suggest stuff for the mods I'm working on as well as post updates for how progress is going

[hidden maple]

NGL I didn't think that the Germany remake mod will be good when I first looked at it. Like Germany for me was a perfect balance. But U made it very good actually. I would love if you make your mods compatible with others. But that's just me. I actually didn't enjoy your democratic Russia mod. I think it was a bit to short. Ok I cheated the civil war with basically removing all units by turning them into 1 arty. But I got out of content by early 1939. And with doing the "historical" soo rip union I wasn't able to buy Alaska. Nor join the allies (that might have been just me trolled by ai) and it ended with me getting an op army by 1941 when ukr joined the germans.

Just some criticism. No hate. I still love both of the mods)

[acoustic berry]

To answer these questions:
About the Germany Rework, to be honest I never thought they needed extra content after Götterdammerung. However I had some content I wanted to bring back from my previous Better German Alt-History, and some that I thought would be a good idea (Republic path, for example)
About the Democratic Russia mod, I had it not too long because I didn't have that many ideas, and Russia already has a ton of content outside of their political focuses. Unfortunately I am done working on that mod now so I will not be adding additional content in the future besides updating for future DLCs

[hidden maple]

Ye fair with the Germany reasons. I wanted to make a mod to rework 2 country's but gfxs stoped me. If you want I might have the ideas I could send soo you can expand on them

[sick torrent]

was it interesting

[naive stump]

a bit

[acoustic berry]

https://github.com/Globvs/Ultimate-HOI4-GFX
Certain resources such as these provide a lot of assets. Very good if you use Photoshop (preferred, but paid) or Paint.net (free, but still good)

[hidden maple]

Actually I didn't play the UK rework yet. Wanted to but I never liked UK sadly. Rn I'm very into Hungary as a pretty op country. What are you planning on doing now?

[acoustic berry]

Oh yeah and for making an ultimate compatibility when I originally created these mods, my modding knowledge was limited and I didn't know how to code the AI. I probably could now but I find it a fruitless effort to combine these mods together since it would really only be interesting for the country with modded content that you're playing

[hidden maple]

I mean there is the RP scene that would love them I think

[acoustic berry]

Making a new update for the USA Rework. While I had originally stated that I was no longer releasing new updates for it about a year ago, I returned to making updates near the beginning of this year to fix its old content and bring it up to the standards of my newer content. Also I wanted to add new mechanics and paths (such as the New Deal and Electoral College Mechanics)
All of this is because it's still my most successful mod.

[acoustic berry]

I want to devote my time to creating new content, so unfortunately I have ruled out making extra versions of my mods

[hidden maple]

Nice. A suggestion if you get them up to date. I could make a rework for Yugoslavia or romania maybe. Romania could have extra potential with the Hungarian resistance in Transilvania

[tough lotus]

You could put it into a hidden_effect

Also Nunavut didn't get split as a territory from the NW territories until the 1990s.....

Also could you please fix the state of Yucatan? Its capital is quetumal in game but it's Merida and it's a hidden vp, quetumal shoukd have it's vp reduced to 1 imo

Hello everyone I will be very happy if someone tells me a mod which makes hoi4 close to Victoria 3 in terms of economy because I can't run Victoria 3

[hushed apex]

State modding crashes, I realize can be because of the building file or strategic region.

[white dune]

do you have a name listed for it

name is supposed to go usually like state_1:0 "rome" or state_2:0 "paris" for examples

but the crash might be incorrect buildings or location

[hushed apex]

I noticed that it was the buildings txt because I went to a folder in the document paradox interactive and then hoi4 opened folder named crashes and opened the log right after it crashed and i realize something was not right and all I had to do was validate the new states and all other states too. the hoi4 tutorial by paradox helped me a ton.

i just don't even copy paste the localization folder because it seems to make each state have a -1 and that makes some states just STATE_numbers and I just copy paste from the localization from the main game that you can find when going to local disk steam steamapps then hoi4 and then there it is but you have to be very careful when going through the folder otherwise you'd have to verify the game files or something.

[white dune]

enable -debug, if you don't know how, search it up, you activate it before you start the game, it shows errors in more detail

also, if the province you changed is coastal that will probably do it

[white dune]

did it work

[dapper sluice]

how do i prevent this from happening when i make a new faction

[white dune]

that exists?

[dapper sluice]

this was my code

[white dune]

you could create a special modifier that prevents nations from leaving it, which you could also use to make nations give support to other NATO members

or, you find the code that removes them from the faction

[cold moat]

Why this tooltips don't work?

tooltip = terrain_penalty_reduction_tt

The USA Rework has the most PATRIOTIC focus icons

[white dune]

[tawny spruce]

[acoustic berry]

They are an alternate history path. I plan to update it, I just don't know if it will be with this update or the next

[tawny spruce]

alr sick

i imagine u will go through some testing to see how it works in game and how long focuses take u till what year etc

[acoustic berry]

This is the current path's unique content. As you can observe, it's not very much. This is the case for many of the post Civil War paths and again, I plan to update them in the future

[tawny spruce]

a golden circle focus path would be sick and some diff buffs

[acoustic berry]

Yeah the Golden Circle was a "formable" but you didn't get a cool cosmetic tag or anything

My plan is to force you to fight a second civil war should you choose to become the CSA after the original civil war, but you will gain a permanent "Southern Spirit" buff that would give you some nice bonuses

open the documents folder by typing it in to the search bar

then paradox interactive and hoi4

then delete the files inside there that say history, map, and localisation

or you may have put that state into the base game accidentally

[kindred axle]

Check in the gfx vanilla file

I’m trying to set up a civil war in a Spanish colony where the player can control the rebel side using a fixed tag instead of a random one. I know how to switch countries with the command, but I don’t know how to force the rebels to always use a specific tag, since they’re usually generic and can vary.

When I tried to force it, Spain gets called into the war and the coalition joins them, which breaks what I’m trying to do.

Does anyone know how to properly set this up?

[white dune]

what if you just add a modifer that is removed once at peace

that prevents calling allies

[fringe escarp]

Where are the Soviet ideas “Five Year Plan”, “Soviet Air Force”, and “The Red Army” defined at? I can’t find them and I suspect they are in a file I wouldn’t know to look at.

[livid locust]

How could i do that?

[fringe escarp]

Use a tag alias to keep track of them

You don't actually put text in like that. You put in the localization key. Then in a separate localization file, you put the text. This page has some good info on event modding https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Event_modding

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation - This one covers localization and you should definitely give it a read.

or make very few

[turbid monolith]

No I want them to merge together divisions when they lack manpower or other equipment to full strength divisions, it would make longer games much more enjoyable

[white dune]

oh

It is possible

I just don't know how

[turbid monolith]

It is weird that they do not do this already, considering the optimisation gains

[white dune]

currently I Only know how to make the A.I make more or few divisions, and make them change in peace deals

and other things

[turbid monolith]

That would also be useful to include in such a mod, consolidate weak divisions + compensating with training more

would be fun in a long game

you may want to ask someone about the merging

[acoustic berry]

Well, currently I'm working on the USA Rework.
Originally I was finishing the Germany Rework, however I'm on the fence about it because it seems pointless to invest so much time into a comparatively unsuccessful mod (having a mere fraction of subscribers compared to my other full reworks and receiving practically zero coverage on YouTube). Really I think the concept of the mod was unnecessary - Germany never really needed a rework after Götterdammerung, and the demand for and reviews on my mod show. Really any sort of interest I have left in working on the mod is like a sunk cost fallacy since I've spent a lot of time on the update I'm working on, and only feel compelled to work on it as a result of that, otherwise I haven't found it that fun to work on in comparison to my other mods.
The nail in the coffin was the release of Rt56's Germany update which essentially nullified the point of my mod, which is fair. I think after that point I really lost any interest in "completing" it (adding Bavaria content). Maybe when I'm done working on the USA Rework I'll push out an update that simply fixes bugs from before, but delegates anything new to unused content.
Yeah sorry I made this a whole essay but I think I just wanted to give a PSA on the status and future of the Germany Rework (or, lack thereof).

bro what i cant put mods on the game like it doesnt work?? Like i created a new mod and now i changed germany's name and it didnt work

i just got a new PC and in the last PC it worked perfectly fine, wtf??

[wise cradle]

did you enable the locaisation with BOM-8

[vague sand]

It doesnt have to do with the localisation itself my HOI4 just make my mods i create in the launcher function, like the deplomacy actions thing i sent before is from a tutorial mod and on the mod itself it works perfectly fine but on my mod it doesnt work

[tough lotus]

does your username include non-latin characters?

[vague sand]

keep in mind:
Just got a new PC
First mod i make on the PC

[vague sand]

nah, its General Modder

[humble bone]

Yo so I decided to try out modding and I wanted to edit and resize some provinces, and everytime I edit a province and relaunch the game, I end up with wall of errors

anyone knows that im doing wrong?

sorry if this is a dumb question

[pale sparrow]

Error log seems self explanatory

X crossing means you cant have...

this kinda province border

[humble bone]

I know, I didn't do anything like that

[pale sparrow]

Too large might be from using the same color twice on different sides of the map

oh maybe what you did is....

[humble bone]

Didn't do that either

[pale sparrow]

Maybe you used the incorrect type of brush and you got gradual color transitions somewhere

[humble bone]

Nope, im using 1x1 pixel pencil

okay I think I just have something wrong with my gimp settings because now I didn't edit anything, I just exported the file while not changing anything and got the same thing, but I don't know, I did everything the same as like 4 different tutorials

Okay, I know what I did wrong, I forgot to uncheck one thing, I totally forgot about that

forgot to uncheck this

[mild siren]

what would yall like from a modding tool? pls give a list of wanted features

rn there is country creation, state modding, world map preview, making events, making focus trees, making ideas/national spirits and localization modding

ideology modding and bookmarks are already planned so

[kindred maple]

does there exist a mod that allows you to merge the theatres of volunteers?

i cannot describe how badly i need this in my life

[elder dock]

is there a mod that adds better puppet names or just removes them? I think it looks and feels worse when its called "GERMAN RUSSIA"

[raven merlin]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2587197320

[elder dock]

also, as an alternative that i may use, is there one that just removes puppet names

like russian germany becomes germany

[mild siren]

just annex them

[white dune]

this is one of the easier things to learn how to do actually

you could even search up a video and learn how to do it yourself

and its also rewarding to look at afterwards

[wise cradle]

where is the localisation for the custom tooltips

[cinder creek]

can someone please help me for some reason whenever I create a mod if I restart the game/launcher it gets an error saying its not on disk and I can't do anything since I can either subscribe to it (which I can't because its not uploaded yet) or remove it from my playlist I also can't readd it to the playlist because its just removed from my mods but the files are still in my game folder

[acoustic berry]

Glad you like my mod!

[acoustic berry]

In the USA Rework, Korea will now break free when Japan capitulates. In about 90 days the republic will divide, as it did historically. I implemented this to allow a Korean war to occur, since this is something that is rather difficult to replicate in the base game.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Republic_of_Korea

[acoustic berry]

Also here's the NATO branch. May be final, but if anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to add them

I think next I will work on the Civil War...

[opaque cloud]

Working on a New WW1 Mod. It's pretty much the classic "1914" mod for darkest hour which also starts the same year in 1897. However, as the new start date is 1897, a new detailed tech tree is needed. Sadly, i started with artillery and it seemed to be working after the first technologyw as created.. but i created another one "field Gun of 1880".. yet it doesn't show up in the main game, any advice?

hopefully someone uses this here... I need visual tools.. My dyslexic ass struggles with only notepad..

[nimble solar]

Do you still have the original tree's anti-communist aid focus?

So you can funnel weapons into anyone fighting communist countries

Also maybe a decision to send advisors as well that gives some minor buffs

[icy fable]

Maybe change the Turks focus to include the Greeks as they joined simultaneously?

[opaque cloud]

How does one get these little things to show up?! So dang close yet so far

[nocturne adder]

sry for annoyed you... i really need this mod! it looks cool and amazing!!!

thank you so muchhh!!!

[frail rock]

Does anyone know the defines to unlock the 5th battalion at game start?

Or is it not a defines

[pale sparrow]

Defines are static, so any values modified during the game wont be defines, or will at least also have an effect

[acoustic berry]

Yes, right where it was originally

[acoustic berry]

I didn't because Greece always joins the Allies on historical, while Turkey doesn't. Also, the base NATO invitations only work with european and north american countries, so normally Turkey would be excluded.

Basically the requirements for inviting the target country are:

• Europe or North America
• Non-Aligned or Democratic
• Not in a faction
• Not a subject
• Is not at war (unless WW3 has already started)

[vague sand]

Hey guys i just got a brand new PC and i made my first self made mod on it, to test it i just copied files from another mod i had. But it didnt load the mod, so i put on -debug and it still didnt load, and i suspect it has something to do with the path. This is the file that it opens on -debug mode and it just said no file specified

Maybe this is the issue?

[vague sand]

nope. it aint

[white dune]

does north korea have its own tag, or is it dynamic

[white dune]

aswell, for the NATO branch, you could add a bit for dividing austria into a west and east, since the compromise of our timeline is a bit unexpected

[acoustic berry]

Dynamic

[acoustic berry]

The reason why I made Korea split was because that was later a quite important war during the Cold War, meanwhile Austria was neutral the whole time. In addition, the Soviets usually almost never declare war on Japan during historical (even though that happened historically) so they would never be able to get a peace conference to take NK. They are allowed to with Austria however.
I guess what I mean is, that Austria is usually divided anyway during historical while Korea is not

[humble bone]

Is there a way to delete a state without breaking the game?
or do I have to make a new state with id of the one I want to remove every time?

[obtuse condor]

Does anyone know if you can change ai behaviour in expert ai mod per country? Like can one be historical and one random, would like to set majors to random and the rest historical

[pale sparrow]

Pretty much

so yeh, huge pain

[icy fable]

May I ask you if Peace for Our Time adds any new states or provinces?

[pale sparrow]

It wont, 1.17 saves and mods will keep working

Are there any tips/tutorials how to make better looking states and provinces?

[opaque cloud]

I just dont get it, this code looks correct.. also the game claims some of the tech "lacks a gridbox".. but i swear all artillery techs use the same one.. and the first one always works, the second and beyond? No.

First one shows up… but not the second!!!!! …. AAAAAAAAAAA-

And it’s linked to working equipment stuff too

Hippity hoppity your hard work is now my property

[golden totem]

a bit of a bummer, but at the same time having 2 updates back to back that change states and provinces would be frustrating to say the least in terms of modding 😭

[sly hawk]

Someone needs to make a "Negligent Paradox" mod that adds all the f'ing mini mechanics from each country to other countries

And stuff like MIOs not being assigned to existing production lines at the start of game

Historical focuses

Germany power dynamics

and other f'ing gimmicks they just keep piling up in these releases

how hard is it to have an intern to go over this stuff before release, i can't believe it

[vague sand]

[vague sand]

alr man good luck🙏

[mild siren]

honestly i dont even know if it works on windows 😭 havent tested it on that

but should be good

[vapid otter]

thanks man but i just resized the image to make it fit

thank you tho

[hidden maple]

If anyone that has experience in modding and knows what fallout is. not the tv show but the games and the lore. and wants to join me i'm working on a mod that is a prewar fallout mod dm me to join if you want to. plus i help in one more mod but atm i have time to do this but not alone bc of my lack of knowledge sometimes. (still early on with the map. around 200 states are done. +-)

[kindred axle]

Just use a image pixel regulator

There are free websites for It and Just put the pixels and It Will fix It for you

[vapid otter]

i fixed it thanks

also btw why does germany's images look like this

they dont look like that ingame

[blissful lion]

The uncensored German portraits are in the DLC folder.

[vapid otter]

oh aight thanks man

[hidden maple]

i restarted my game 2 times. it still doesnt apear as owned by soviets. how can i fix it?

NVM i forgot to save the file XD

[tough lotus]

[hidden maple]

xd

I'm doing this for 6 hours atm

its fun

[hidden maple]

Looking for someone that can do gfx. mainly portraits maybe a few flags aswell. dm me

[opaque cloud]

Adding new techs to an empty tree is … hellishly annoying. Just gonna leave that here.

You get one tech to show up, then nothing after…

[young zealot]

i cannot get my news event to be recognised by the game

invalid event with id

it has a namespace, brackets look fine, events folder not misspelled

[hidden maple]

ah thats amazing. (i may or may not need to make 40 years of tech for my mod)

[opaque cloud]

Similar here. Doing what is basically a modern take on the old “1914 “ mod for hearts of iron darkest hour

That mod started in 1897 so since I also want the world to feel lived in for the past 26 years or so since the Franco Prussian war, the tree itself goes back as far as 1870

And yes it’s supposed to kind of be the ultimate ww1 mod… 1897-1925

[hidden maple]

yippie... me doing from 2050 to 2080. with new units and everything. around same time span for both of the mods. 30 ish years

hopefully you lie and its not that bad

[opaque cloud]

Fallout pre war mod… ?

Funny thing is that these days the map and borders aren’t that bad.

Now we have stuff like “HOIUtilities”

For vs code…. For my dyslexic ass..

[hidden maple]

yes

prewar

I'm barely done with the map soo anything can happen

especially if i find no one to help me with gfx

as of this is my first mod that i make. and i help in an other one soo i know some basic stuf but nothing advanced

rn i got all of europe. korea and ussr

however i tried to save the yugoslavia lore vise i couldnt

balkans are too much

[opaque cloud]

But yeah, just attempted basic stuff such as “Field Gun of 1870” (even going as far as using Victorian/edwardian style terminology ) as the foundational first artillery tech which activates “artillery_0” , year 1870. Seems simple. It is, it works..

Then I try to copy it, and create “Field Gun of 1880”… , year 1880. It enables Artillery_2… seems like it should work especially after saying the previous tech is a prerequisite

But then the second one doesn’t show up at all…

[young zealot]

guys 🥺

[opaque cloud]

Can imagine

[hidden maple]

i mean after tito dies

its rip

IMF loans will make it die. and i mean we can say how tito didnt take imf loans in this universe. we dont know

[opaque cloud]

Same with Britain after the near god tier Queen Victoria , dies in 1901 and it slowly loses the spot as the greatest power on earth to Germany and America

[hidden maple]

and i made srpska to be part of serbia

[opaque cloud]

The Balkans will be especially spicy in my mod

[hidden maple]

yes)

xD

[opaque cloud]

As ww1 itself starts there but in the case of Greece especially , it has claims and even still valid cores on Anatolia and Thrace

[hidden maple]

ok i take a break after 10 hours of working on the map lol

[opaque cloud]

Now yes some may say “who the hell wants to play a mod from 1897 all the way to 1914?”

I mean, I’d probably have it as to where production, research and stuff is much slower than the base game…

And you literally have to slowly prepare your nation overtime to fight a 20th century war.

That and for most nations they will have a “peacetime academia “ which gives more perks to peacetime technology research like industry, logistics, agriculture, mechanical engineering etc

As opposed to military , naval or air research

Kind of building up ww1 to really be this huge calamity where 20+ years of tactical and economic planning and preparation exploded in everyone’s face and went wrong

Ya know?

[hidden maple]

yes

Not like twr soviet. 1 year prep then wa with both germany and your eastern neighbours

[opaque cloud]

No. XD.

[hidden maple]

ok i mean mines not much different

as european commonwealth

the resource wars start in 2052

Thogh i have no idea how i will make the space war a thing

[opaque cloud]

Ironically it may be better if ww1 starts earlier because the longer the build up is the more sides build up heavy machine guns, learn about trenches.. yet don’t change doctrine.. which is what led to the deadlock to begin with.

If ww1 somehow starts in say, 1899 it would actually likely be a quick war since most outside Germany aren’t remotely geared for anything like a war , namely Russia which… well if you can imagine Russia having 15+ years less of economic buildup when war started in 1914

When it already lacked factories.. yeah

[opaque cloud]

Ah, I see

[hidden maple]

there was a space war

but its a huge question mark on how

i might take the easy way and event

[opaque cloud]

The lore of fallout itself doesn’t even get into it at all.

I’m thinking pre war society was even more advanced in technology than we thought.

The super advanced stuff may have just simply been destroyed by nukes

[hidden maple]

it does?

into the space one it does some

"This mural commemorates the many sacrifices of the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. From Lexington and Concord to the shores of Iwo Jima, from the Sea of Tranquility to the Anchorage Front Line, Americans have fought and died through the ages to secure our nation’s freedom. May their sacrifices remind us all that freedom is a privilege afforded to the many, yet hard won by a noble few."

sea of tranquility is on moon

we know there was a war here

how fusion power was new

for warfare power armors laser and plasma weapon

balistic weapons like the m16

planes and tanks to some extent were used

and we know which ones

before oil riped

plus i dont think it was super advanced

for reasons that we know from terminals

They refer to fusion power as a new thing

the newest thing they made before war prob was the fusion power

which are used by vault tech and the enclave

[white dune]

how come nudge mode is on

[hidden maple]

got what

[hidden maple]

debug mode

[white dune]

where am I

oh

I see

[opaque cloud]

Yup. But I think it was legit the first time we learned anything about it

@hidden maple I mean, the fallout fandom wasn’t exactly gifted with a novel or book detailing what happened in Europe before the war

Would have been cool but.. yeah

[hidden maple]

oh you meant technology in europe?

or overall?

bc we dont know shit in eu tech before war

we can only imagine it was oil based

no fusion energy

[kindred axle]

German laws that censors

[opaque cloud]

Probably which is why everything.. melted down

[hidden maple]

i might add if i figure out a system that after 2070

oil runs out

and aswell you get huge debuffs

[hidden maple]

am i supposed to add the lakes to state?

[hidden maple]

slowly evolving. now there are names

and there is china now. and i halfed the errors from 1M to 500K

[hidden maple]

China done) i'm not doing the population and stuff now just state borders soo i will have to return to that. (i suck at balancing ngl soo i will need someones help)

Stays for now xD if i get to focus trees i plan on them being invaded by European commonwealth

with all the other middle eastern countrys

(soo if it gets done dw egypt will get content equal to a generic tree at best ingame xd)

islams?

what does islams mean

canonically egypt remains egypt in the game it doesnt turn into "islams"

i barely found any lore on middle eastern countrys

or whatever idk i have no idea how the middle east functions

ye mentioned as "middle eastern countrys"

[vapid otter]

im pretty sure israel gets nuked to oblivion in 2050 something

[vapid otter]

the fallout bible is basically a book with most of the fallout lore

all the documents with the background material for the first fallout game

I cant help you, but if you want help, just ask the question and see if someone responds

Hardly anyone just responds to a "help" with no context

No, the Fallout mod is Old World Blues. It takes a lot from Fallout lore as well as canceled games and concepts.

The update for the USA Rework is going well, thank you for asking. I haven't posted updates in a few days because I've been busy, but I should be able to work more on it now over the weekend. I don't know when it will release, but I'm hoping to have it out by the end of the month

Hello mate. Last time I saw you I didn't ask but. Soo do you plan on doing reworks for ingame systems aswell? Not combat but smaller systems. Give more weight to country ideology. Or anything like that

I'm sorry but no, I prefer to do reworks on countries because I like to build focus trees and fun paths
