modding

[hidden maple]

Oh ye np I was just curious

I'm working on my mod and I understand why you like making focus trees. At this point I would do anything but the map. (Save me pls)

[neon wagon]

En Unión Y Libertad is a good one. It expands a lot of South American, and also some middle American nations. I can really recommend it.

[normal storm]

Thank you

[nimble solar]

@acoustic berry is it possible to code in operation paperclip so the US can get German scientists? Just a random thought i had

Extra cold war content

[nimble solar]

Holy smokes it is already there

[acoustic berry]

Well, in the current development

I don't think it's in the release version

[nimble solar]

Ah

[acoustic berry]

I have decided to not take on a total conversion mod because I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. As such, I can unfortunately give you little advice from any sort of experience. Good luck though!

[hidden maple]

It will be easier as soon as I find someone to help. Worst thing Is how I help another total overhaul mod at same time. I have autism and I couldn't stop myself)))

YOLO moment

[vague sand]

Hey so my HOI4 just.. Cant make mods like i did the create new mod thing, all i did was change germany's name from German Reich -> German Rafaeich but it doesnt work. I tried it on other self made mods, doesnt work. I even copied files from WORKING mods on my last PC (I got a new one) and it doesnt work. Any ideas?

[hidden maple]

It should just be the localisation file I think but I also had a similar issue when trying to make a mod translation that the translation once appeared next it didn't. If you find any solution I would like to know it aswell

[vague sand]

No no my game just doesnt load my mods, i checked with other things like units, leaders, focuses etc and it doesnt do anything. I even checked with deplomatic actions and it didnt work

[echo kindle]

i can't wait!
i wanna see what you coocked this time. After an initial phase of Bugfixing i will update the version i have in my mod!

[wild lily]

hi is there any new fast justification mods for the latest version of the game ?

[echo kindle]

no idea

[forest root]

Ah

[tough lotus]

I know cheat mods combined includes something along those lines.

Also any old ones should work, nothing really changed that would break them

[acoustic berry]

Some events I've been cooking

[finite rivet]

whats the plot?

[stark plume]

Uff, why is it so hard to get an answer out of PDX about how their game actually works T_T

[hidden maple]

and here comes the brain cancer that is that 50 countrys in the rest of america and all the small islands))))

[willow frost]

i have an idea put 2017 scenario on millenium dawn

[hidden maple]

Tell that to them

but to my knowledge there is a 2016

[tough lotus]

Got discontinued

iirc

[hidden maple]

only south america remains)

[hidden maple]

oh you are aswell getting close to finish.

[elder dock]

Is there a mod that removes the tension limits for democratic and nonaligned nations? I cant find one thats updated

[acoustic berry]

Currently reworking the Civil War paths for the USA Rework

[hidden maple]

ok i'm going to try your usa rework bc i didnt go down the civil war path down yet

[hidden maple]

wait a sec. that is from fallout no?

yes it is)

[opaque cloud]

I’m curious guys. In the ultimate WW1 mod, like one set in 1897-1925… with tons of custom techs and cool alt history focus paths (granted, historic ones will be chosen 90/95 percent of the time )… what do YOU want to see that other mods like the Great War redux haven’t done?

[acoustic berry]

https://klipy.com/gifs/i-understood-that-reference-intergalactic-captain-america

The reference was on purpose

[hidden maple]

at this point add a descision to make the commonwealths

[opaque cloud]

I know I’m thinking about having Germany ignore the naval arms race idea entirely and instead focus entirely on its land army which ironically may enable an actual 1914 victory

[acoustic berry]

You get that event if Canada accepts annexation after completing this focus

[opaque cloud]

But, for those mad enough , it may still be possible to beat Britain in the naval arms race starting a good 17 years before ww1…

[acoustic berry]

You can core all modern Anglosphere countries through this focus in the New Age of American Imperialism path that I'm adding

Oh yeah you can also do that if you get the British monarchy

[hidden maple]

nvm i cant play it

the error log i get trying to launch the game

i think i acidentaly deleted something while ste... i mean reusing stuff from the game

[acoustic berry]

Are you running with other mods?

[hidden maple]

even without mods

only way i can get it running is -debug

[tough lotus]

That's other mods, the game loads every descriptor even if the mod is disabled

[hidden maple]

so?

it shouldnt be an issue?

[tough lotus]

Precisely

[summer nexus]

Hello, I’m working on a mod, but unfortunately I don’t understand the focus and event coding system in HOI4, so I’m not able to do much. If there are any videos or resources that could help me, I would really appreciate it. I also hope I’m posting this in the right channel, as I’m new to the server.

[pale sparrow]

Pins

[summer nexus]

oh sorry thx

[tidal arch]

I need a HOI dev for a project

[pale sparrow]

What project?

[stark plume]

good luck with that, I had a couple questions that seem to require a dev to be answered and had no luck in a month

[tidal arch]

What

[tidal arch]

Across the dnieper

I got permission if you’re wondering yes

[pale sparrow]

Maybe make a forum post

and explain why you'd need a dev

[tidal arch]

Where

[jagged wasp]

Any onw have any mods to make it just the United States? As you can make a civil war per state?

[shut dawn]

Don't know of any maps that scale down to just the US other than Old World Blues which does just North America and it's in Fallout's universe

[jagged wasp]

Alright thank you!

Also what is the main millennium dawn mod you guys use?

[austere grotto]

There used to be a few mods on older versions I would say just go to the Steam workshop and look around for them. They aren’t coming to me by name but I used to play a US Civil War mod which was just America and Canada and Alaska and it went down to the proper small level and had some pretty decent focus trees for everything

[acoustic berry]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780506619&searchtext=north+america+divided
Hasn't updated to latest version, but goated nonetheless

Oh yeah they also throw in the rest of North America because why not

If ur curious what the most fun states to play in the mod its probably Ohio, (excuse my bias) Florida, Washington DC, and California

[golden totem]

i think they mentioned they are like 50% updated but yeah its still 1.16.9

[silk valve]

how do i edit this display page? i want to change the focuses being shown. I managed to manipulate it by simply replacing the gfxs but couldnt do the same with the localization so i need to change what focus is being displayed

[shut dawn]

Shouldnt be in the common/bookmarks folder

There’ll be a file that you tell it what focuses to reference

[silk valve]

its called bookmarks?

[shut dawn]

Yeah

Should be

[silk valve]

thanks

[shut dawn]

No problem. This page should have more info in case you get stuck on anything else https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Bookmark_modding

[silk valve]

is there a way i can edit this without affecting future version compatability?

[shut dawn]

Not really. You’ll need to update it every time.

[silk valve]

damn

how do i remove the 1939 start date?

[shut dawn]

Think that you just change the date

But I never mess with that ‘cause I only work on Old World Blues submods.

Searching things on that wiki is useful though

[silk valve]

alr thnx

[shut dawn]

No problem

[stark plume]

Posting here as well since noone seems to be able to answer any of these questions:

• Is there a way to see which ai_strategy_plans are currently active (similar to imgui show ai_strategy)?
• Why do focus weight (when seen in game with AIview) do not reflect the additional changes from focus_factors in ai_strategy_plans?
• Why do focus weight (AIview) are displayed in the form of 100*expected_value - 200*excpected_value? Where does that 100X-200X range come from?*
• What is the significance of the minimum value in the displayed focus weights (AIview) and how does it affect AI focus selection?
  Note: I initially thought it came from the MIN_SCALED_IDEA_WEIGHT_TO_COMPARE_WITH_DECISIONS = 100 and MAX_SCALED_IDEA_WEIGHT_TO_COMPARE_WITH_DECISIONS = 200 defines but that does not seem to be the case

[hidden maple]

and here comes the lets rework everything phase)

[echo kindle]

What's the reason of the "save corruption" that, sometime, happens ?

[elder fox]

anyone know how 1984 revolution works?

and why the hell each country only have like 9 focuses

[jagged wasp]

Thank you so much, i honestly prefer to be michigan. I’m not excusing my bias. (Goated)

[gentle viper]

what mod is this

[vague sand]

Hey guys is there a tutorial for how to make vanilla like plane icons? I want to make a kamikaze icon

but models is blender which i DONT know

[acoustic berry]

Yeah, sry meant to add in a "yet"

[acoustic berry]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they have a fair bit of content but I haven't played them before

[echo kindle]

Are you adding any more states to the USA rework? (pls no)

[hidden maple]

which submods?

[shut dawn]

East Coast Rebirth and Monarchs & Margaritas.

I also work on the OWB team now too

[hidden maple]

i love ecr)

[shut dawn]

Glad to hear it.

[hidden maple]

Yippie i got the country selection to work))

[hidden maple]

i am having difficulties getting used to new raven rock sstufff

"new"

1 year old i think? xD

[shut dawn]

I think the newest Raven Rock stuff came out in June of last year. You mean the balance of power deciding who runs Raven Rock?

[hidden maple]

yes

i used to go autumn always

[shut dawn]

Taking similar focus options should still push it autumn. You can also use decisions in the BoP to increase Autumn's popularity

[hidden maple]

ye ik how it works but i think they got big debuff aswell

bc i was used to able to remove the BoS when getting projject purity

now i get riped

[shut dawn]

Oh yeah that wasn't a debuff. The BoS Ai just got some updates telling them to worry about The Enclave more instead of keeping troops on their border with less important guys while at war

[hidden maple]

ye maybe...

i love to play it still to rp

alone bc i have no friends lol

i want yall to get to fallout 4 already

minutemen would be intresting in 75

[shut dawn]

That's about 3 updates away. We've still got Gangs of New York and Worst Cast Ontario first

The New York update is coming soon though

[hidden maple]

until yall get there i might finish the prewar mod lol

[hidden maple]

yall leaked the gunners aswell.

[shut dawn]

Yeah, the expanded map is adding the gunners but they won't have content yet.

[hidden maple]

fair

what you do in the team btw?

[shut dawn]

The Commonwealth update will have some good stuff though, including a reworked Raven Rock tree

[shut dawn]

A lot of administrative stuff like organizing updates and coordinating with artists as well as managing folk's workloads. I also do most of the stuff for lore in new areas and did just about every focus tree. Pretty much the only things I don't do are focus icons/other art and some of the map work.

[hidden maple]

aa soo everything but gfx xD

[shut dawn]

• Raven Rock Enclave
• Lyons Brotherhood
• Brotherhoood Outcasts
• DC Raiders
• DC Settlements
• Talon Company
• Andale
• Buffalo Health Service
• Ontario Enclave
• The Pitt
• Green Mountain
• Valley of Amman
• Trog Country
• Slocum Joes
• The Garden of Eden
• Various smaller nations

Like these are all the trees I did that are currently in the mod. Andale, Lyons, and The Pitt are the only ones on that list I didn't do by myself.

[shut dawn]

There are some aspects of map modding I don't do. I mostly just help with editing state history files on that front.

Also the GFX aspect isn't true much anymore. 'cause I did all the new focus icons for Atlantic City's focus tree when that comes out

[wise cradle]

how did you do that with the box around ai_stratergy_plans

please i want to know

[stark plume]

`

[wise cradle]

Ok

[fossil fern]

is this focus size alright so far? left branch thingie is the fascist branch (done) and the right side is like half of the democratic path. just thinking if its enough focuses, mainly for fascist side

[gentle viper]

can anyone make a 2nd cold war mod? like a 2 scenario type 2026-2033?

[hidden maple]

depends

for what?

i cant even make out what nation bc i only see 3 pixels xD

[fossil fern]

[fossil fern]

don't worry i'm unlucky enough to be british

[hidden maple]

lol

its a stereotype

and now i prob pised of every romanian

[fossil fern]

this is not good for my relations with the romanians who i hope to glaze this mod

[hidden maple]

add a option to do the funny with hungarians if you want to piss of hungarians

once you get picture idk ping me or something imma play flatout UC (nostalgia)))

[fossil fern]

cus i can see it fine

[hidden maple]

yes thats the issue

i zoom and rip

[fossil fern]

ah idk then 😭

[hidden maple]

[hidden maple]

least contraversal thing i will do

make kosovo be attacked by serbia and albania

(free ffor all balkans)

[acoustic berry]

Yes

Guantanamo Bay, US Virgin Islands

In addition, I have added like five new provinces and edited the terrain

Those new provinces being Orlando and Key West in Florida, 2 extra islands in the Virgin Islands, and Sint Maarten (which is part of the state for Curacao, has been renamed to "ABC Islands and Sint Maarten")

[white dune]

how did you add guantanamo bay

isn't it tiny

[worthy dove]

is this where I can get help with a mod not working

I made a mod and got this on gamestart

[worthy dove]

I tried changing up a file and this happened

I put the country history file inside the state folder on accident

[acoustic berry]

I used a province that already existed in Cuba, shrunk it to make it small but still visible (a la DC) and made it part of a new state, Guantanamo Bay, owned by the USA

[worthy dove]

if anybody can fix my mod here it is

nvm I can't send the full mod

if you want to help me fix it I can email it to you or something

I am using visual studio code

[ember sable]

when is paradox fixing nudge

<@&846894118219022336>

[mossy coral]

what mods are generally used in multiplayer lobbies?

[still harbor]

heavily depends on the lobby

[mossy coral]

I just want to know cuz i play hoi4 with my friends allot and i was just wondering if there were any good mods

And not stuff that change the whole game like kaisereich or the fire rises etc

[still harbor]

rt56 would probably be the most popular overhaul mod that is vanilla

[night hornet]

Bro was NOT right back

[wise cradle]

Do I need the dynamic tags if I am doing a replace paths?

[kindred axle]

Peace conference led by player? So that ai doesnt mess up the map with gore border

[blissful lion]

I made "Better Hidden Focuses", which aims to implement more and "better" hiding focus attribute for the vanilla trees (like for Turkey, Netherlands, and much more) if that is your cup of tea. It is stable in multiplayer, but there could be some minor oversights from my end.

[arctic mural]

It varies a lot

[mossy coral]

Ill check it out

[brisk orbit]

Hi. Is somebody that know how to add a new Victory points in some provincie?

[blissful lion]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!

[vague sable]

any1 wanna play vanilla?

[open remnant]

Ss anGriff not found

[tough lotus]

The game will crash if you don't have enough dynamic tags

[wise cradle]

K

[wise cradle]

So how many is that ?

[tough lotus]

Depends on how many tags you have, base game has 75 dynamic tags. You can just copy that file

[wise cradle]

Ok so it need to match the amount of tags

[tough lotus]

Not really

There are way more than 75 tags in base game

[wise cradle]

I just keep the base dynamic tags

[kindred axle]

In the state file add a new victory points, take the example out of the state file vp, Copy and paste

Then

You Will see 2 numbers, the left one id the province Number and the right One the VP of it

[brisk orbit]

This is what I have.

[kindred axle]

Once added go to the victory points loc, Copy and paste One of the line, change the province and in the "" put the name

[kindred axle]

Put It separated

Dunno if it can go like this but all VPs are separated

[brisk orbit]

Like this?

[kindred axle]

You forgot the barrack on the First victory points

When you put a barrack you Need to also close it

Do like the One on the bottom, add the barrack

[brisk orbit]

I dont understand what you say...

[kindred axle]

Hollon

[brisk orbit]

Like this?

[kindred axle]

Imma send a ss

like this

[kindred axle]

ye now its good

now for the name to appear go to the localisation for it

[brisk orbit]

This is also valabile for state name?

[kindred axle]

different files but same folder ye

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

And what I will do there?

[kindred axle]

Add the name? If you dont add a name It Will Just appear a green dot with no name

You Will see Just by looking at how its done

[brisk orbit]

In that folder?

[brisk orbit]

So?

[void crypt]

Hm...

[kindred axle]

ye

but

honest question, did u watch any yt tutorials on how to do it ?

[brisk orbit]

I dont found a tutorial with Victory points.

[kindred axle]

ye but its not that hard, open up the file with this name in the loc/eng

you will see things like VICTORY_POINTS_2753923567928:0 "Big London"

so

copy and paste one of those

change the number before the :0

and teh name between the " "

and its done

simple as that

[brisk orbit]

Like this? @kindred axle

[kindred axle]

i use notepad so i cant really tell

i haev the red thingy

gotta ask somebody else if thats good

[brisk orbit]

I also use notepad.

[kindred axle]

mine is notepad++ not the windowns one

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

Is not work...

[brisk orbit]

Is matter if is noapte++?

[pale sparrow]

yes

[brisk orbit]

So maybe is not work because I do In normal Notepad not in Notepad++?

[pale sparrow]

No but you should change your notepad as well

[pale sparrow]

You put YML in the name, it should be the extension

And unless that is your only victory point you should name the file something else

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[paper valley]

guys in the mod im making where germany gets balkanized like austria hungary after ww1, should prussia have a fascist majority?

[tough lotus]

Also probaly UTF-8 BOM if he made the file from scratch

[paper valley]

because i think i will put the painter as the fascist leader in bavaria

since he was more popular there

[tough lotus]

-# The failed painter was Austrian btw

[paper valley]

its not working

[tough lotus]

UTF-8 BOM

[paper valley]

yes that was it

[maiden hornet]

how exactly do i raise the countries conscription laws as an effect? is it same as upgrading eco laws?

[paper valley]

i think so

[pale sparrow]

Yeh just add_ideas and it swaps em ^^^

[brisk orbit]

Where to put YML then?

[wise cradle]

i done

replace_path="common/countries"
replace_path="common/country_tags"

and i still getting the

[12:12:42][no_game_date][countrytag.cpp:126]: NOR - is not in the tag list error

other mods that do this don't get this error i don't know what i am doing wrong

[pale sparrow]

history/countries?

[wise cradle]

yeah i did that one as well

[brisk orbit]

I do what You Say and thats happen.

[wise cradle]

remove the .txt

and replace it with .yml

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

If you change the extension of a file it may become unusable. This is what they say.

[wise cradle]

yeah just click ok

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[wise cradle]

it just saying that beacuse your changing the file type

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[wise cradle]

also getting this error
Expected 'default', a continent name or a country tag: JAP, near line: 1913

[brisk orbit]

The name of that province in the name of the state.

He had correct Victory Points but the name is not.

[wise cradle]

did you edit it while you was in the game ?

[brisk orbit]

The game was close when I edited.

[wise cradle]

maybe try closing it and reopening it

[brisk orbit]

Game?

[wise cradle]

hoi4

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

Still not work...

[wise cradle]

lets see the victory point in the victory point file

[brisk orbit]

I dont think I have that...

Can You Tell me where I can found this?

[wise cradle]

i mean the localisation file for it

[wise cradle]

it proberly not got the UTF-8 BOM

incoding

[brisk orbit]

So How I do to get?

[wise cradle]

on notepad i don't know

[brisk orbit]

Ok...

[wise cradle]

file > save as > Encoding

[wise cradle]

hope that helps

[brisk orbit]

Here?

[wise cradle]

idk what language this is in but i imagen it be the Slavare

[brisk orbit]

Encoding where I found?

[wise cradle]

have you heard of visaul code studio ?

[brisk orbit]

Yes I think.

I saw in HOI4 tutorials.

[brisk orbit]

You want to install that app?

[wise cradle]

yeah, it one the microsft store it easier to change the encoding tyoe there

[brisk orbit]

I installed from the site.

Is ok?

[tough lotus]

Also works

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[tough lotus]

The microsoft store can be a pain to work with anyway

[wise cradle]

fair

[tough lotus]

@brisk orbit open the file with vs code, in the bottom right there fill be a button that says UTF8. Click there, save with encoding and pick UTF8 with BOM

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

And after I saved Utf8 with boom. Is need to save the new change or close the file?

[wise cradle]

i would save the change to be one the save side

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[tough lotus]

I think it saves the encoding change automatically but you can just ctrl+s

[wise cradle]

can you help me with this

i done

replace_path="common/countries"
replace_path="common/country_tags"
replace_path="history/countries"

and i still getting the

[12:12:42][no_game_date][countrytag.cpp:126]: NOR - is not in the tag list error

i doning somthing like Eaw where i make a whole new map and i am getting this type of error still

[brisk orbit]

This sign appears to me.

Is Matter?

[tough lotus]

no

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[wise cradle]

no

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[north wave]

vic, question

Is it possible to reset the recruitable pop of a state thourgh removal of certain chunk of states population and then adding them back?

Like let's say, germany used all of recruitable population of hamburg

[tough lotus]

No idea (yet). I'll have to deal with that error later for my own mod though

[north wave]

and thourgh an event, we remove that states population and then add it back afterwards

would that work in practice?

[brisk orbit]

Not work:(

[tough lotus]

@brisk orbit

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[wise cradle]

i seen all thought done so yeah it should work

[fading quartz]

just discovered the bettermechanics collection

holy shit its a game changer

I love it

[brisk orbit]

I think the problem is that the game is not Reading the file.

[tough lotus]

Go through each point and send a screenshot for them

99% of loc issues are solved by that

[brisk orbit]

Like this you mean?

[tough lotus]

It's the file name

it should end in l_english.yml, not l_english_yml.yml

And I'd rename it cause rn it would overwrite the vanilla file

[brisk orbit]

Delete all and writing again?

[tough lotus]

Just rename it. I'd suggest mod_victory_points_l_english.yml or added_victory_points_l_english.yml

[arctic mural]

It’s great

[tough lotus]

Send a screenshot of the contents of the file though

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[tough lotus]

So I can see if there are any errors there

[brisk orbit]

What file?

[tough lotus]

Your vp localisation file

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[tough lotus]

Looks fine

[brisk orbit]

added_victory_points_ Here what is?

If You know what I mean.

[tough lotus]

Just a suggestion for a name for the file, so it differs from vanilla but it's still clear what's inside it

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

I or l?

[tough lotus]

lowercase L

[brisk orbit]

I put "I" not j...

[tough lotus]

-# And both would be wrong

[brisk orbit]

Is work now! The problem was l

Thx.:)

[marsh pumice]

Is there any way to code setting puppet levels in peace deals
like i get having 5000 integrated puppets is great but sometimes i just wanna satellite another nation

[fair steppe]

hello idk if this is the place but does anyone know a program for focus tree design where i can design it like a design program instead of having to change coordinates by code?

[brisk orbit]

Is a valid state?

Is a made one be me btw.

[tough lotus]

Not one that works. Although there is https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Chaofan.hoi4modutilities

[fair steppe]

good to know i did not waste my time

thanks

i made one myself

but its not fully ready but it works for the most part

[fair steppe]

they are the reason i made one, i dont have that patience idk

[brisk orbit]

Is a valid state?

Who know?

[tough lotus]

-debug exists

And by that point you just save the file and the game updates it for you

[fair steppe]

yeah i was not comfortable plus it was a fun program to do ngl

[brisk orbit]

Finally I did it!⭐

[white dune]

well done

that usually takes a while

[brisk orbit]

Thx.

[wise cradle]

Well done

[brisk orbit]

I have a small issue...

[wise cradle]

Oh

[brisk orbit]

When I leave from a match, the game will say that map have problems or Something like that.

But If you enter fisrt time is ok.

[brisk orbit]

They say that the game will crash.

[wise cradle]

Did you do some with states ?

[brisk orbit]

I added two.

[wise cradle]

Ok did you add them to a stragicregion?

[brisk orbit]

Yeah.

[wise cradle]

What does it actual say ?

[brisk orbit]

When I wanted to put in stratregicregion, they did leave me... I think they put automatic.

[brisk orbit]

On the game I see my created states in the good region.

[wise cradle]

Let's see

The states I mean

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

Here is the mesage.

This are the new states.

[wise cradle]

Do you mind going into the into the nudger and into the stratigc regions

[brisk orbit]

They say that the states are in the regiune but I dont put them there.

Region*

[wise cradle]

Properly because there made of the same provinces

What does the error log say ?

If you click the dog

[brisk orbit]

I think is something else.

A state have a province that he not needed to have.

No is not what I saying...

[wise cradle]

That not what I mean, but cani see your error log

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

When the game open or after I leave the match?

[wise cradle]

When you open

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[wise cradle]

Ok

The resion your getting the nudger thing is because there are provinces without any colours

On the map

[brisk orbit]

There are 2?

How many there are?

[brisk orbit]

There are not exist.

I delete them.

[wise cradle]

Yeah that the problem

[brisk orbit]

And there are still in the state file.

So Just delete them?

[wise cradle]

Go to the definition.csv

And get rid of them and that should fix things your mod

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

The game crash.

[wise cradle]

Ok

Go to document and them paradox then heart of iron 4 and then map

There should be a file called definition.csv.fixed.csv

Rename it definition.csv paste into your mod

[wise cradle]

My phone is about to die

Um

[brisk orbit]

Oh.

[wise cradle]

Did you create those province?

If you did i watch this video

[brisk orbit]

No.

[wise cradle]

Did you create any provinces?

Id watch this just in case https://youtu.be/ChtwJzN9cpw?si=ylKlPDNTtLIQ9U8K

[brisk orbit]

I created.

[white dune]

you can screenshot in hoi4

or you can use the snippet tool

app

[brisk orbit]

I will do Tomorrow.

Is night to me.

[somber orbit]

what do I do to get the 'visual' element in VS to show in the mod utes?

(opening, say, the tech tree, and being able to SEE said tree)

[kindred axle]

did you steal some rgb ?

[fair steppe]

i need help with my mod testing, i wanna know if it works on other computers or it errors out on them

https://github.com/Ultra-XT/Heart-of-Iron-4-Focus-Tree-Designer

would appreciate anyone who could test it for me

[acoustic berry]

The USA Rework's new civil war content within the focus tree, so far. This may seem minuscule, and that's because most of my efforts have been spent on events

Following the Gridlock - The Garner's Bid for Power
While it has been seen before, the United States has failed to elect a president through the Electoral College. This has led Congress to do so instead.
Vice President John Nance Garner, who has just broken with President FDR over the New Deal, has now attempted his own bid for power to try to solve the nation's situation. While he is able to shore up significant support from his Congressional Connections, Garner has not secured enough votes to become president. Will he be able to squeeze out the remaining possible support, or will his classic allies "betray" him for the goodwill of American democracy (even though there won't be much of it left after either outcome)?

[lavish pasture]

On river maps, is thegreen pixel indicating the start of a river?
Im confused cause I've seen that some dont have this 😅

[tough lotus]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Map_modding#Rivers

Only the 'main branch' of the river should have the green source pixel, any branch connected to it via the red flow-in shouldn't have it

[somber orbit]

ok, HOW on GOD'S EARTH do you change tech names????
I'm losing my mind

I've been at this for a WEEK

[acoustic berry]

Should this "coup" be defeated, another shall rise. Business interests within the country will attempt to revive the Business Plot - an plan that would coup the government and install a fascist dictatorship. Should it be stopped, MacArthur will gain significant power and influence, later deciding to make himself the new leader of the country, officially ending the crisis, unlocking his path and avoiding a civil war in the process.

Should Garner's "plan" succeed, he will become president of the country, and pass the Emergency Presidential Powers Act, making him effectively dictator of the country. This will be one way the country can be brought down the road of Civil War...

If the Business Plot succeeds, a fascist dictatorship will be installed, and the country will be on the road to civil war

[somber orbit]

Man is there a thing for technology????

[acoustic berry]

Should the Garner Coup succeed, the Civil War will be between autocrats and progressives, while if the Business Plot succeeds, the Civil War will be between fascists and liberals

[tough lotus]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Technology_modding#Name_and_icon

[somber orbit]

yeah I looked over that, I'm still making no progress.

the wiki is not as helpful as people make it to be.

[tough lotus]

It probably is, you just have to look correctly

Are you renaming a basegame tech?

[somber orbit]

i'm subbing EAW

[tough lotus]

Is your mod marked as an EAW sub mod?

In the descriptor

[somber orbit]

in the dec dependencies, yes

I have ZERO coding ability.
I've been brute forcing with an LLM, and I made a nation, for the most part.

I made a focus tree.

I made an event chain.

[tough lotus]

AI can't do shit in hoi4 modding

[somber orbit]

oh ffs

well i cna't code to save my fkn soul

damn censor

[acoustic berry]

I can back this up. I tried to use it once to help me generate a small piece of code I needed help with, but it was useless. I have never used AI for coding again

I always check HOI4 wiki now but if that doesn't work I would try looking in code of newer game files (new focus trees/events/etc. for Japan, for example)

[somber orbit]

I got surprising progress. with an LLM

I got it to program a plague spread.

[acoustic berry]

You can learn a lot from snooping in the game files

[tough lotus]

@somber orbit go through this. If you're completely renaming a tech from EAW you might want to look at https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation#Replacing, not neccesary if you're adding a name for a country that doesn't have a custom name in the base mod

[somber orbit]

I've got a sub where I'm creating a nation. I'm just wanting to change the string reps for human eyes. that's IT

I know how to do localization EVERYHWERE else

[tough lotus]

Yeah, too little sources. And they blend in with other PDX games

[somber orbit]

bigger problem it seems is because pdx code is a c++ mutant, it tries to do that.

[acoustic berry]

Yeah, that was my suspicion

[tough lotus]

Well then the wiki article from earlier should tell you all you need to know

[acoustic berry]

I was trying to make custom trigger tooltips with parameters, kind of like how you can with custom effect tooltips. That was a waste of a few hours on the UK Rework (I'm pretty sure that custom trigger tooltips with parameters are not real)

[tough lotus]

Focus trees are generally fine since only hoi has them. Decisions will probably work even though it'll get them mixed up with EU4 decisions. And hoi missions have nothing to do with eu4 missions so don't even try

[somber orbit]

At this point I need to build a team because I'm at my wit's end with trying to code this

I can QA, I can project manage I can localize I can even do art to some degree I just can't program

I don't know why it's so hard for me to retain or grasp programming knowledge no matter what language it is but I guess I'm on the low end of perceiving an apple in that regard

I am losing my mind with this and my patience 😭

[somber orbit]

seriously, what on god's earth am I missing here
do I not have this pointing to the right thing???
I'm just inheriting straight from EAW.

[spice socket]

Is your mod set to override the other mod?

[somber orbit]

in load order? Yes.

[spice socket]

Launcher load order? Or did you code it in?

[somber orbit]

playlist order.

[spice socket]

yeah playlist order is basically fake

name="your mod"
dependencies={
"x mod"
"x"
}

you need this in the mod's descriptor.mod file

[somber orbit]

already have that

this is why i need a fkn programmer.

i've been shopping my pitch around, and a good chunk of people are like "Awesome idea, but I'm one-manning my thing"

[spice socket]

then you probably need the localisation/english/replace/ path instead

[somber orbit]

I have been screwing with the tech tree for like 9 days.

[spice socket]

I mean just make a replace folder and put your loc file in there

[somber orbit]

I have that, that's not doing a damn thing.

I'm really stupefied as to how simple renames are this damn complex.

I was able to program a disease-spread mechanic before I was able to rename technology. How tf

[somber orbit]

well, I got the 'replace' method to work
But it applied to everyone. Wonderful

that's why I DIDN"T do a replace originally, because I knew that would happen.

[fair steppe]

planning on it, making a whole full program that does the whole design by just you designing and not needing to code
im assuming you tried it so thanks hope it worked with you
did you see the icon pictures of the focuses or were they broken?

[fair steppe]

CURSOR

https://cursor.com/home

I also don't know how to code for shit
I made a whole program and a whole focus tree with 111 focuses with AI
you need to use programming AI not chatgpt or Gemini
cursor is one of the best programs to do that
use indexing if u use cursor, if u don't know what it is
ask Gemini or chatgpt to set you up
free version is short so u gonna need to pay 20 dollars

remember to use indexing

veerryyy important

[tough lotus]

That's how I know you didn't read a thing I said

[tough lotus]

Cause here there is a clear example on how to make it apply to only one country

[glass acorn]

Replace works by loading that line of localisation after the vanilla one

For example:
VANILLA

State_01: "Corsica"

REPLACE

State_01: "Corse"

You use the same string

[brisk orbit]

No.

[swift field]

can i add more Research slots

[wild lily]

yes there is multiple ones. do you want the best one ?

[wild lily]

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3606377449

meh

[somber orbit]

No I read exactly what you said. I'm telling you I'm too damn smooth brain to understand programming

I got it to work but I managed to brute it out with a clanker again

[steep socket]

please anyone make a slovakia mod

i would help

[pale sparrow]

Already exists

[steep socket]

i know but is there any really good mods you know

[lean furnace]

I downloaded some mods and the game was fine then this happened

[steep socket]

wtf

[lean furnace]

I think one of the mod files is corrupted or i downloaded a virus or something

i closed hoi4 from task manager and this tab closed so

im not sure what caused this

[steep socket]

from slovak mods?

[lean furnace]

(i downloaded all my mods from steam)

[lean furnace]

im not sure

[steep socket]

did you fix it

[lean furnace]

i closed and rebooted the game and it seems fine

[steep socket]

i hope it stays so

[lean furnace]

my mod list was r56,r56 +,demand it,coloured puppets,player led peace conferences,stt,and a mod that adds extra formable nations

i cant remember that last ones name

[steep socket]

mhm

but back to my original question

is there a good slovak mod you maybe could recomend

my nationalist soul would love a good mod

all mods that i played are mid or inaccurate

[brisk orbit]

Idk what You can do with Slovakia in WW2...

[steep socket]

many things

[brisk orbit]

Just try to take you lands loost...

[brisk orbit]

What?

[steep socket]

also some alt history

[brisk orbit]

To escape Germany?

[jade ingot]

how about making an Own mod?

[steep socket]

i cant mod

i only know history

very well

[brisk orbit]

Is easy to do.

[steep socket]

im kinda lazy to learn

[brisk orbit]

I do some thing to Czeoslovakia. Wanna to see?

In my mod.

[steep socket]

show me

[brisk orbit]

Here.

I added a new state.

[jade ingot]

you mean for Slovakia itself? splitting it from the Czechs?

[brisk orbit]

Ignore that is annex be Romania.

[steep socket]

yes and going its own way

[steep socket]

its cool

[brisk orbit]

I recomand to do a mod.

Is very simple.

[jade ingot]

correct

[steep socket]

waht is your mod about

[brisk orbit]

I can teach you. I am new to that but we can learn together.

[steep socket]

sounds nice

ill add

[brisk orbit]

I want to add new focus tree to Romania, Yugoslovia and Greece.

I will focus more on Romania.

[steep socket]

kinda of a balkan mod

you do

[brisk orbit]

My idee to the mod is to add a new content to countries that needed like France.

should France need a complex focus trees.

[steep socket]

yes

[brisk orbit]

Slovakia need you to make a cool mod:)

[steep socket]

yeah maybe ill call you later or tomorow

where are you from

[brisk orbit]

Ammmm... Romania?

[steep socket]

oh

[brisk orbit]

Is 19:28 to me.

So Tomorrow I can help You.

[steep socket]

you cant speak german or slovak by any chance?😂

[brisk orbit]

Adding states, provincie and Victory points.

[steep socket]

no stress

[brisk orbit]

I learn Germany to my school but no...

Eng and Rom.

[jade ingot]

really?

crazy

[brisk orbit]

Yes.

[steep socket]

okay i quess english will work out fine

[steep socket]

ja bei uns auch

[brisk orbit]

Yeah.

[steep socket]

ich kann aber deutsch weil ich hier wohne

[steep socket]

just text me then when you can

[jade ingot]

krank wusste ich garnicht

[steep socket]

fast ganz osteuropa aber wird immer weniger

[brisk orbit]

I hope I will not forget:)

[steep socket]

i hope i dont forget too

[brisk orbit]

You can Say to me what You want to start to your mod.

Like adding states or Something.

[jade ingot]

höööö das höre ich aber zum ersten mal, mit sicherheit lernen nur wenige Länder in der Schule Deutsch

warum auch?

[steep socket]

you may know i want a slovak mod. so i quess a focus in czechia that allows you to play as slovakia

[brisk orbit]

Ok, easy to do I think.

[steep socket]

nein das denkt man nur ist halt mehr wie so ein art französisch. früher war es auch noch russisch viel

viele sind halt nach militärisch oder schulisch nach deutschland geschickt worden

[jade ingot]

aha

[steep socket]

war einfach das damalige englisch

[pale sparrow]

This server is English only

Please

[steep socket]

sorry

[brisk orbit]

I will need to familiarize with focus and after I will can help you. I dont think this will take a whole time.

To understand.

[steep socket]

okay great because focuswise i have many ideas

[brisk orbit]

Good thats great.

[brisk orbit]

If You want You can type your focus idea in privat.

[steep socket]

okay

[brisk orbit]

Like:
Name focus: What he does
Name focus: What he does

[steep socket]

but is modding time taking?

[jade ingot]

much

[steep socket]

because i work as a bricklayer form 8 pm until 4 am

[jade ingot]

but it depends on how big the mod should get

[brisk orbit]

Yeah for me is take much time but also beacause I am lazy to do fast.

[steep socket]

ok get it i will write my ideas down

[brisk orbit]

Good.

[rigid crest]

is there a way i can stop the city names and star from scaling with zoom

actually i think the name stays the same size but the star doesnt

like on a video i see (on the right) it just stays small i guess

[brisk orbit]

Ask #hoi4-general

[rigid crest]

y

[white dune]

does anyone know if it would be possible to add more ideologies to the base game by using the current sub-ideology system and adding GUI for it to make it look like seperate ideologies?

I don't know how to do that at all but I was just wondering

[white dune]

I Was told that they sometimes speak english in germany in conversations when its not needed

is that true

maybe its just from a specific region

[pearl swan]

Hello, could anyone be so kind and point me to where it is appropriate to advertise my mod, please. 🙂

[wise cradle]

https://youtu.be/ndmIjx-niHY?si=nME__KCoDDSzxiBb

This could help

[topaz quail]

combined 1.7 braincells in this conversation

[rigid crest]

or just people who english isnt their first languiage 😔

[shut dawn]

Yeah, idk why you're trying to dunk on people for not having good English. It isn't impressing anybody.

[white dune]

they are probably also smart if they can modify the game like that

[somber orbit]

ESL just starting modding, it looks like
good luck to them.

I'm having a skill issue myself 😛

[opaque cloud]

Hey guys, question.

If I am making a mod, and want to say… make this specific type of building only produce this equipment, say a motor factory only produces trucks, armored cars etc

How would I do that?… and not just have military factories build everything for a more varied and detailed gameplay experience?

I see the buildings files just has “military_production = 1 “ modifier but where is this stored?…

[opaque cloud]

Oh, ok I got confused

So, I am refering to how mods like BlackICE add artillery parts as a new resource for instance to build artillery

[steep socket]

its not true. maybe in big alt-left cities like berlin or hamburg st pauli but where i live they speak a strong dialect that sometimes they dont even understand

[kindred axle]

Like BlackICE?

I Remember thsts BlackICE had a military factory for different components

Download the mod and look into their files, you might take notes

[topaz quail]

do you enjoy bricklaying?

[steep socket]

yes very much

[topaz quail]

is it very time taking?

[steep socket]

like any other construcion job i would say

[topaz quail]

honestly I'm facing a dilemma 😔

I don't know if I should do bricklaying or hoi4 modding.

[steep socket]

😂

[topaz quail]

This is a very serious matter

which one is less time taking and more money

[steep socket]

bricklaying

[topaz quail]

Are you 99% sure?

[steep socket]

yes

[topaz quail]

Ok but why 🤔

[steep socket]

im in my second learn year and i already get 1.3k with taxes

and thats alot in germany

[topaz quail]

Hm. Are you sure hoi4 modding is less than 1.3k?

maybe it's better for being rich

[steep socket]

yes+

maybe your right

[topaz quail]

So what's the career path going to be for you?

What comes after brick laying

[steep socket]

rente😎

or maybe army idk

[topaz quail]

did you graduate from high school?

[steep socket]

no

[brisk orbit]

Are You gay?

[topaz quail]

@brisk orbit @steep socket did you both agree on the mod features?

this could be the next big mod...

[steep socket]

wtf i see it now

[brisk orbit]

You Say that 1.7 braincell... You have Something with me?

[steep socket]

fr

what did we do

[topaz quail]

@steep socket @brisk orbit I consider you both my brothers. Please forgive me

you are both friends to me

[brisk orbit]

If we not speak english good, thats not mean we are dumb.

[topaz quail]

I know you are a very smart person. @steep socket told me yesterday

[brisk orbit]

Good.

[topaz quail]

but sometimes I don't like you.

[steep socket]

?

[topaz quail]

It's okay. We are all best friends

[brisk orbit]

But even if I dint to know to modding thats not make me a dumb.

[topaz quail]

One day you will become a famous modder. I believe in you 💕

[brisk orbit]

Do be a dumb is Something else.

[brisk orbit]

You are a very random person.

[topaz quail]

@steep socket do you agree with this?

[steep socket]

what do you even want

[topaz quail]

I'm testing your abilities. I want to hire you

You seem like a capable modder

[steep socket]

son

[topaz quail]

It's either this or brick laying.

No other option

[steep socket]

[brisk orbit]

Even if we are not make modding, thats not make us dumb just because we are not good at eng.

[steep socket]

is it because of my question?

[topaz quail]

@brisk orbit @steep socket are you both smart or dumb

pick one please

[white dune]

are you in bavaria?

[steep socket]

no rheinland-palatine

in palatine they usally also speak a strong dialect

it also has historic ties with bavaria

[white dune]

this is a dangerous question but are you SPD or CDU, or another party?

[steep socket]

None

[white dune]

you do not need to answer

if you do not want

[steep socket]

I dont have one

In Germany

Everything is forbidden

[white dune]

goodbye

[steep socket]

Goodbye

@topaz quail where are you from

** I need help with stat knowledge**
Trains have these stats from knowledge:
armor_value
build_cost_ic
air_attack

But are there more stats that a train can have that actually work?

[vague sand]

Hey guys! I'm an intermediate modder in the game (General Modder on Steam if you want to see my stuff), and I recently got a new PC. But now, when I create a new mod, it lets me set it up and launch the game with it, but it doesn't load it. In the debug mode error file, it's blank and says "File path not found," so I suspect it has something to do with it. I verified the integrity of the files and it didn't work. I even copied over code from my other mods that worked on my last PC, but they also didn't work. However, normal mods work completely fine and I haven't had a single crash yet. (I create new mods from the creator in the launcher)

[white dune]

do you know how to turn on "-debug" mode

[vague sand]

yes, as i said i have lots of experience in modding

[grand relic]

Do you know if there are mods for the 1400?

[vague sand]

Old Europe 1300
close but outdated

[vague sand]

just writing this so you'll get the ping cause i forgot lmao

[steep socket]

just play eu4

[main sphinx]

how to get millenuium down mod?

[jade ingot]

First "Millenium Dawn" and second, its in the Steam Workshop

[brisk orbit]

Why my game crash? I take a part from a provincie to add to other provincies. And the game crash.

[jade ingot]

having a Crash code?

or looked up the Error log in the Data?

[brisk orbit]

A small screen appears saying to report the crash.

[vague sand]

This is what happens when i open the game with -debug. My custom mods wont load

[jade ingot]

yeah and inside the Data it self HOI has an Error Log you can Review

[brisk orbit]

Yeah.

[jade ingot]

Renamed the File maybe?

looks to me like a typical "any file was renamed at the Origin but not at the Launchfile"

[brisk orbit]

You know what is the problem?

[vague sand]

look at a few messages ago i explained more in depth

[jade ingot]

nah like i said thats just the normal Crash Report Brother, if you wanna look up the problem itself i would recommend to search the "Error Log" in the Hoi Files to look what made the Game Crash.

[jade ingot]

well in that case my Bad sorry but im working on my own mod rn so i dont hava so much time to spend on others, in time maybe

[vague sand]

its just annoying like i want to mod SO bad but for some reason this issue is so uncommon i cant find anything on google on it

[jade ingot]

try Codex from Open AI

[vague sand]

eh its not really some coding issue its more about file location and HOI4 quirks

[jade ingot]

well Codex could help there too

but yeah your choice

[brisk orbit]

How I do it?

[jade ingot]

Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\logs\error.log

should be a common path for most of us

[brisk orbit]

Thats.

I think thats are in this log was also before of my problem.

[jade ingot]

well copy that and shoot it threw an AI or Codex i would say and its telling you why there is a Problem

[brisk orbit]

Even if I make the provincies back will still crash.

[topaz quail]

hey man. Maybe don't endorse using filthy ai?

people need fresh water yk

[jade ingot]

this is not an Opinion Discussing Channel, and since you dont have a PFP i dont see myself in the Duty of Discussing anything with you, if you want to chat about stuff my DMs are open but dont think that i'll answer.

[topaz quail]

Got it. Worthiness of debate is based on my profile picture. Sounds elitist to me honestly

I could be more knowledgeable than you, yet you judge me based on a mere profile picture 🤔

[jade ingot]

thats pretty normal on DC

but i really hope you have better day tomorrow :P thanks for your Opinion even in fact that i didnt needed it ^^

This Conversation is over.

Just to Remind other People here on DC its pretty uncommon not to have a Profile Picture wich often shows some type of Laziness of the People leading these Suspicious accounts and often end in Hacking your account or scamming stuff, thats why i took my point.

Now im gone for today.

[brisk orbit]

Do you think IF I make a new provincie instead of the provincies that I changed there are two, will be work? Or add one of them or all to a new provincie?

How I can to solve that?

These with Air base.

[unreal sorrel]

Use nudger and validate the buildings in the problematic states

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

I have a question.

[naive stump]

Nope

[brisk orbit]

Thats Random.

[brisk orbit]

I resolve the problem!

[brisk orbit]

Thx!

[naive stump]

Sorry

The mr beast scam was there

[jade ingot]

Perfect

[brisk orbit]

I dint see it.

[night wedge]

Anyone knows the best mod/mod pack for Spain 1.18?

[tough lotus]

Those are vanilla errors from not haing the DLC

[tough lotus]

It doesn't even know hoi code, it's so blatantly obvious when you use it

[tough lotus]

The descriptors point to the correct paths?

[jade ingot]

ah i see

[vague sand]

version="1.18"
tags={
    "Gameplay"
}
name="another godamn test"
supported_version="1.18.0.0"

[tough lotus]

What about those directly in /mod?

[jade ingot]

may i DM so i can talk German to you i hava Question you might could answer me

[vague sand]

C:\Users----\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\another godamn test

[tough lotus]

And it's not in one drive

right?

[tough lotus]

sure

[vague sand]

how to check?

[brisk orbit]

How to add much slots to a state?

[tough lotus]

It shows the entire filepath there

[brisk orbit]

Bulding slots.

[vague sand]

i mean this is what i see
C:\Users\----\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod

[tough lotus]

Wait, are those \ actually in the descriptor? The game treats tem as end of the line and breaks. Use / instead

[vague sand]

my PC is in a language that written from right to left tho

[tough lotus]

Make sure they're the correct symbol

[vague sand]

[tough lotus]

You open the descriptor and change them

[vague sand]

im kinda stupid what is the descriptor

[jade ingot]

its the Heart of your Mod

[tough lotus]

the .mod file

[jade ingot]

saving the Name of your Mod, supported Versions the Tags and such stuff

[jade ingot]

[vague sand]

Gimme a sec to actually look at it

[jade ingot]

[hidden mural]

Searching for a Passion coder willing to make my ideas, its js sum extra focuses for Götterdämerung Germany and the new Czechoslovak one, potential (but only potential if I like the work a little to much) payment can be a hoi4 dlc, DM me🥹

I can make focus Icon's if you need any help

or other UI elements

example:
(this was done in under 5 minutes, its ugly)

[kindred axle]

Increase state category

Che k It on hoi4 web site

There are all categories

[placid stream]

Does the engine support negative values for front_control and other ai strategies? Specifically, could I put a negative modifier on a strategic region or state to discourage the AI from targeting that area? Or do you have to give positive modifiers to other areas to steer the AI away?

[pale sparrow]

I believe negative works

[placid stream]

Thank you!

[untold dawn]

It is possible to create generic country leaders with generate_character? I guess it only works with advisors

[nimble solar]

Local man doesn't realize historical and custom presets exist in vanilla hoi4

[stark plume]

Is there a way to check for available building slots taking into account planned construction in the queue?

[pseudo horizon]

Gentlemen

I require assistance

So I was modding some techs, but two didn't show up because they were missing gridboxes. However, I've made sure to define the paths leading to them, so idk how to fix this.

In theory, if the previous techs have path = { (next tech) }, there should be no problems, right?

[trail yarrow]

u up? I think I broke hoi4

focus tree isnt appearing

[burnt vigil]

i'm also getting that issue on my own

[trail yarrow]

yea

not sure how to fix it

[brazen lake]

Have you tried removing the base = 0 in that modifier block?

[trail yarrow]

maybe a certain zwirbaum will summon to help

[burnt vigil]

doesn't work afaik

[trail yarrow]

yup

[trail yarrow]

yeah odd fr

something to do with the new dlc blocking it maybe?

maybe its due to the values as this is the czech trees new focus values? @brazen lake

as slovakia is a releasable

@burnt vigil

works

I was right, because its considered a breakaway it needs a score of 20 as the new dlc czech tree has other values

[burnt vigil]

OH okay that makes sense

[trail yarrow]

@brazen lake these are the 2 new values for the dlc and non dlc, not sure if the new one might have the wrong value? I got it to work by setting the slovakia tree to 20 but might be a good note for the team or something perhaps if relevant?

[pseudo horizon]

Any ideas?

[burnt vigil]

what is the line in the shared tree for giving the flag under the focus? would that be caused by dynamic?

[tough lotus]

No, it's the generic Austro-Hungarian tree

[burnt vigil]

After reviewing dev diaries, it does it automatically, my main wonder now is just how many can be displayed before it caps out? Because saadabad supports 4 for each member, but bc im doing the RK's, I'm wondering if there is a hardcap on the visual side

[tough lotus]

And the joint Nordic tree doesn't do it at all

[burnt vigil]

I never even noticed that part, but I am pretty sure that its newer content for JFT's that added the flag specifically to differentiate who can do what

Tbf I dont look at scandanavia unless im invading them, ion see reason to play as them other than achievments and even then, I dint see reason to go for those when I could have fun with mods

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

[brisk orbit]

But If I put rular, I cant change to how much I want like 10?

[stark plume]

@brazen lake sorry for the tag, but is there any chance you could have a quick look here when you have time? https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/help-request-developer-input-appreciated-ai_strategy_plans-and-aiview-focus-weights.1915120/

[pearl swan]

fiddle around with the "increase_state_category = yes" effect, like put it in a state targeted decision and see what works for you

[brisk orbit]

Ok.

Where I can make focus trees?

What program/app?

[vague sand]

Hey what does the game mean by this?

[15:27:52][no_game_date][gamestate.cpp:2742]: MAP_ERROR: State "Bukhara"(#830) has provinces (#756, #1623) belonging to different strategic areas: "Transcaspia" (#267), "Samarkand" (#269)

Because both provinces are in 267 as i put them

it also appeared when they were both in their own strategic regions

[brisk orbit]

So 756 and 1623 are in where is also 267?

[vague sand]

wait

before it told me (#756, #1573) so i changed that

now its 1623?

oh waiiiiit i know what i did wrong

[vague sand]

nvm now its
[15:32:41][no_game_date][gamestate.cpp:2742]: MAP_ERROR: State "Bukhara"(#830) has provinces (#756, #7639) belonging to different strategic areas: "Transcaspia" (#267), "Samarkand" (#269)

[brisk orbit]

Where you want to put you provincies?

[vague sand]

all i did was transfer 3 provinces from 1 state to another idk why it needed me to change the strategic region im just going to make a new state atp

[brisk orbit]

You changed Something in Stratregicregion?

[vague sand]

nope

[brisk orbit]

You need to put these 3 provincie to the corect stratregicregion and after that you need to delete these provincie where were they from

[vague sand]

eh i just made it a state

[brisk orbit]

Idk how to explain.

[vague sand]

somehow making a whole new state is easier than moving provinces around

[brisk orbit]

Can You make a photo with where are these provincies?

[burnt vigil]

the logical fix is to swap one of those states from one region to the other, not a hard fix

[vague sand]

idk at this point

[brisk orbit]

How I can make focus trees?

[vague sand]

but no point to dwell on it anymore

[burnt vigil]

create the following sequence
mod\common\national_focus
