obtuse condor
#

there's plenty of trees already in the balkans

half dagger
#

Ha...

#

I meant national focus trees!

#

Or did you mean that too?

obtuse condor
#

are you german or something?

half dagger
#

I'm British.

#

@obtuse condor Why do you ask?

obtuse condor
#

something about having to ask whether something was a joke

half dagger
#

Oh...

#

That's because I'm autistic.

#

Not internet "autistic".

#

I'm genuinely autistic.

#

Shit, never thought I'd see the day where I'd have to differentiate between an internet insult and a genuine condition.

#

Still, that's why, sir.

#

Not because I'm German.

#

I'm British and proud of my imperialist history.

obtuse condor
#

that's the level below sperg-sperg

#

german.

#

yes, that's a joke

half dagger
#

Okay.

obtuse condor
#

it's a scale

half dagger
#

Oh.

#

So, where am I on it?

obtuse condor
#

above german

half dagger
#

I don't get it.

half dagger
#

Does anyone know a script command that makes units transfer from one nations control to another?

obtuse condor
#

check the anschluss chain

half dagger
#

I did.

#

Sadly, that is part of annexing a nation.

#

And the focus for New Zealand regarding the transfer of the New Zealand Division is for ships only.

#

As for why I need this...

#

I'm finetuning the autonomy system a little.

#

As an integrated puppet, I believe that their function is solely for domestic affairs.

#

Such as building infrastructure, trade and other light jobs.

#

Foreign policy and the usage of manpower for the armed forces.

#

Overlord's duty.

#

Sadly, they have units already made.

#

I was hoping there's a way to transfer those already under their command to the Overlord.

#

As for preventing them from creating any other units.

#

That's just some minor AI tweaks.

ruby crest
#

@half dagger Integrated puppets soldiers automatically go to overlord in war

#

units_deployed_to_overlord = yes

#

I think however it only works if the human is in control

#

Like in my UK game every malysian division will automatically be sent to me. Where I have to request the other non malysian divisions.

gentle copper
#

!

half dagger
#

@ruby crest I am aware of that, sir, but that's not the kind of transfer I mean.

When your integrated puppet trains a division, it acts like an expeditionary force. When you delete it, it's transferred back to their control.

What I mean is that, say for this example India, is downgraded from colony to puppet and then you get ready to downgrade them to integrated. They start with 11 divisions such as Rajput district and such, these remain under their control when you downgrade them to integrated puppet.

My desire is that when you downgrade them from puppet to integrated, they become yours completely. You can delete them and they become raw manpower instead of being turned back over to the subject's control and so forth.

ruby crest
#

know I got it

half dagger
#

Okay, sorry for that.

#

Still, I appreciate your attempt to help me, sir.

#

Thank you.

ruby crest
#

have you tried transfer unit?

#

If you can disband their units you can do something janky

#

but it does not look like either of those exist

#

Like disband all the units then recreate them and call it good enough

half dagger
#

Yeah, disbanding their units would be good enough for me.

#

Because... Personally... I'd do that anyway!

#

:B

hybrid tendon
#

Kaboom?

#

also what mod is that from?

runic mason
#

probably Milennium Dawn

hybrid tendon
#

thats the modern day one right?

#

are there any good additions to that one?

marble gorge
#

Hmm

#

Yeah that's unrealistic

#

Nice thing we fixed that in our mod long ago

#

You need to be a Muslim countr to do such things

hybrid tendon
#

hmm my main question with millenium dawn so far is why does america only have carriers to start with for a navy?

hybrid tendon
#

any mods that add in isreal that are good?

ruby crest
#

@hybrid tendon As a relesable country? If yes vanilla has it.

hybrid tendon
#

oh? with a unique focus tree? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

ruby crest
#

No. Relesable countries did not even work till TFV.

runic mason
#

actually

#

you can release countries without TFV

half dagger
#

^

#

The only problems with vanilla releasing is that they're not puppets and you couldn't choose to play as them once they were released.

ruby crest
#

@runic mason No they used to have broken AI. They where incapable of building any units ever.

runic mason
#

ah

#

ok

fleet patio
#

Anybody know if it's possible to change the world map? I was tossing around an idea of a possible mod and wanted to know if it was possible to change the world map to a custom design

ruby crest
#

Yes

#

Its difficult though

#

@fleet patio

#

Look up a eu4 guide same thing

fleet patio
#

Ah ok, thank you

runic mason
#

where would I find the file that I can use to change city names?

obtuse condor
#

I think that's a localisation

runic mason
#

how do I extract the contents of a mod? (a mod from the steam workshop)

obtuse condor
#

Documents > Paradox Interactive > hoi4 folder > mod folder

runic mason
#

yep

#

but how do I get the contents (sauce code) of a mod?

obtuse condor
#

from the mod's folders inside the mod folder

#

Pdox mods work by replacing files in the base game, so the files you see in the mod folder are the actual 'code' of the mod

runic mason
#

yep

#

although, (unless I'm being an idiot,) the only folders are from my mods

#

the mods I have from the steam workshop are all just .mod files

obtuse condor
#

oh hm

#

i have a folder for Great War in mine, but maybe i installed that manually

runic mason
#

well does anyone know how to get the sauce code from the .mod files?

runic mason
#

I've done some testing, and the file for modifying city names is victory_points_l_english.yml

thick osprey
#

Yo, does anyone know how to replace the TfV music with custom songs? I've already done it with the base songs but I don't know how to change the dlc ones.

obtuse condor
#

I think the DLC content may be stored in a different folder, considering it is toggle-able

#

look around in the directory or Documents -> Paradox Interactive

ruby crest
#

@thick osprey \Hearts of Iron IV\dlc\dlc018_together_for_victory\dlc018.zip
I am pretty sure you can just copy and paste those

#

like treat \music in that DLC folder as in root

obtuse condor
#

I thought you had to buy music extra for that

half dagger
#

Who wants to see my Hungarian Focus Tree?

#

If not, who wants to see what I've done so far for my Yugoslavian Focus Tree?

obtuse condor
#

I shall!

novel bone
#

lemme see both

half dagger
#

Here's Yugoslavia.

#

Let me grab screenshots of Hungary.

obtuse condor
#

Nice

obtuse condor
#

Thx

half dagger
#

No problem!

obtuse condor
#

Looks good so far BTW

half dagger
#

Hurray!

#

I'm glad you like them.

#

I've also got some new Canadian Generals.

obtuse condor
#

Nice

half dagger
#

Indeed, allow me to get them.

#

Guy Simonds, Andrew McNaughton and Henry "Harry" Crerar, in that order.

obtuse condor
#

Oh, cool

hybrid tendon
#

Cool

half dagger
#

Thank you.

novel bone
#

@half dagger very cool stuff

#

do you want a proof-reader?

#

by the way you could perhaps add something with sending volunteers to Germany if you go the axis route. perhaps give hungary a buff in return

half dagger
#

Why, do you see a mistake?

novel bone
#

Nah but so many mods have them

#

even if theyre very well thought-out, the authors usually arent native speakers

half dagger
#

I'm British.

hybrid tendon
#

see not native english :p

half dagger
#

: (

#

I was born in Oxford.

#

Oxford, England.

#

I am more British than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

#

Since Her Majesty can trace her roots to Germany.

obtuse condor
#

@half dagger funny, because the most British person I've ever met holds two foreign citizenships through ancestry

viscid iron
#

there is a millineum dawn multiplayer hosting join now no rules

obtuse condor
#

double citizenships are the worst

runic mason
#

whys that?

obtuse condor
#

you cant be loyal to different masters

runic mason
#

well technically

#

you can be loyal to different masters if none of them give orders that conflict with the orders of one of the other masters

half dagger
#

British Master is best master.

#

BLIND BRITISH LOYALTY INTENSIFIES

obtuse condor
#

Well yeah

#

The British were good at being masters...

brittle wadi
#

does anyone know a mod which lets you start being fascist as country ?

hybrid tendon
#

British are dumb

brittle wadi
#

well fuck you then

hybrid tendon
#

is american and better then british

brittle wadi
#

sure mate you keep thinking that

#

can you answer my question

hybrid tendon
#

Hey how many times has a colony of yours rose up and thrown you out

#

And sure

brittle wadi
#

and how many colonies do you have?

hybrid tendon
#

How many rebeled colonies do you have

drifting pulsar
#

tbf America lost a bunch of colonies too

brittle wadi
#

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY

hybrid tendon
#

Tbf america never had colonies just foreign holdings

drifting pulsar
#

The Phillipenes were basically a colony

hybrid tendon
#

Nope

brittle wadi
#

not really

drifting pulsar
#

Trying to find the mod in the workshop btw but not really coming up with anything

hybrid tendon
#

Foreign holdings/ protectirate

drifting pulsar
#

Right, because that's different

brittle wadi
#

exactly

hybrid tendon
#

It is since the Philippines still govern themselves

brittle wadi
#

can you answer my question? does anyone know a mod which lets you start being fascist as country ?

hybrid tendon
#

And dont have a failed monarchy gorvern them for thousands of miles away

drifting pulsar
#

All British colonies were allowed to govern themselves to some extent...

brittle wadi
#

clearly failed IT IS STILL HERE

drifting pulsar
#

Couldn't you just console command your party popularity to make fascist the ruling party?

hybrid tendon
#

Brexit

brittle wadi
#

how do you do that i am new to this game

#

by the way brexit is GOOD

hybrid tendon
#

Tell that to your economy right now

drifting pulsar
brittle wadi
#

yeah and why don't you tell that to your economy sinice trump got elected

drifting pulsar
#

You can probably find it there

brittle wadi
#

thanks

drifting pulsar
#

And maybe move the rest of the conversation to off-topic if you're interested in continuing it. Modding is not the place.

#

No prob

brittle wadi
#

yeah sorry but americans piss me off

half dagger
#

Harukajunko seems salty.

#

As for rebellion...

#

The only one that got away was you.

hybrid tendon
#

Nah I am having a nice jab is all

#

If it upset you I am sorry

half dagger
#

Not at all.

#

shakes fist

#

Curse you!

#

You're the one that got away!

#

Still...

#

You're clearly a patriot, right?

hybrid tendon
#

I belive america is cool and needs to fix itself before others and I just like playing into the stereo type

obtuse condor
#

@hybrid tendon How many times has a small South-East Asian country beaten the British Empire at their peak?

hybrid tendon
#

I dont know how many times Friend stalin

obtuse condor
#

Ah

#

Papa Stalin is my preferred title

hybrid tendon
#

Ahhh understood Papa stalin

obtuse condor
#

Kk, thanks m'boy

half dagger
#

@obtuse condor Nothing springs to mind... India attempted to revolt during the Sepoy mutiny and we crushed them... We fought with China during the Opium Wars and crushed them too... We didn't conquer them, but we certainly ensured we could use their nation to perpetuate our accolade of the biggest drug dealer ever.

obtuse condor
#

^

#

And how many times has that happened to the Americans?

marble gorge
#

guys

#

wanna see what I've done?

#

this took me a while

obtuse condor
#

why is it on moddb and not in the workshop

half dagger
#

Because magic.

#

Meanwhile...

#

I apologise for the lack of proper text and icons, but this is what I've designed for the political tree of Yugoslavia.

@marble gorge Wilfred got triggered at my right wing views and kicked me. I still want to help.

marble gorge

oh

@maiden lantern

he did kick you

how did I forget

I'm sorry for that tho

Here's the link mate

Hello, everyone.

runic mason
#

hello

half dagger
#

@runic mason How are you?

runic mason

Great War Mod very had

#

I need help anyone

gentle copper
#

Attack Belgium and hope the UK doesn't care

runic mason
#

the UK will care

gentle copper
#

That's the joke

runic mason
#

oh

half dagger
#

French Army is best army?

drifting pulsar
#

Naval invade England, make them capitulate, naval invade France, GG?

drifting pulsar
#

But yes trenches are essentially cheap crappy forts I thought

half dagger
#

Forts aren't that expensive, even with the tweaks Paradox made with TFV.

#

If anything, it makes building them even faster.

drifting pulsar
#

but a layer of trenches could be made in a few days

half dagger
#

However...

#

Isn't the whole function of "Entrenchment" meant to represent building trenches and such?

obtuse condor
#

Yeah, not too great though

half dagger
#

I see.

#

Still, I'll have a look at what Trenches in the Great War Mod do.

#

See what function they serve and such.

upbeat turret
#

What do I need to download to make mods?

half dagger
#

Mods for what game?

#

HOI4?

upbeat turret
#

yes

#

I am goingto make a fallout mod

half dagger
#

Well, technically...

#

You already have the tools.

#

Notepad.

#

However, you're better off using Notepad++ for coding, since Notepad++ arranges the code more neatly.

#

As for art...

#

I use Photoshop and GIMP2.

#

And that's pretty much it to my knowledge.

upbeat turret
#

kk

obtuse condor
#

Guys should I add New Spain to the list

#

On Arizona and new Mexico (the state)

austere perch
#

Does anyone know if there is a way of adding a new Island to the game? I mean like a group of islands in the pacific?

drifting pulsar
#

@austere perch By editing the map images in the Hearts of Iron IV/map folder. I think you'd need to edit heightmap, provinces, terrain and world_normal at the least. new provinces need unique a RGB colour, otherwise the game will identify it as part of another province

upbeat turret
#

I NEED MODS

half dagger
#

I've already stated that I make mods.

#

Dieu Et Mon Droit.

austere perch
#

Quick question guys, what command do i use to annex a country via an event?
country_event = {
id = rob.1
title = rob.1.t
desc = rob.1.d
picture = GFX_report_event_soldiers_marching

is_triggered_only = yes

trigger = {
    tag = ROB
    AND = {
        date >1936.3.2
    }
}


mean_time_to_happen = {14 days}

option = { 
    name = Annex!
    ai_chance = { factor = 100 }
    add_political_power = -75
        (Need help here)


}
half dagger
#

annex_country = { target = AUS transfer_troops = yes }

#

@austere perch This is taken directly from the event for The Anschluss.

austere perch
#

Thanks a lot!

half dagger
#

No problem.

austere perch
#

Do you know how to annex a state ? Like annexing the greater london area and such?

half dagger
#

Oh, sure!

#

69 = { add_core_of = GER }
GER = { transfer_state = 69 }

#

The number is the state in question.

#

While the name is of the country that will get it.

#

So, for this...

#

It'll be...

#

GER = { transfer_state = 126 }

#

Germany will own and control Greater London.

#

However...

#

If it's not occupied by Germany.

#

Then you should instead use a command that only changes ownership.

#

USA = { set_state_owner = 353 }

#

Here's an example.

#

In this case, the state will change owners.

#

So, for example, I gain ownership of state 353.

#

However, if I don't already have troops to take the provinces.

#

Then the controller will still be the original owner.

#

The opposite, becoming the controller, is this command.

#

X = { set_state_controller = X }

austere perch
#

Thanks man โค

half dagger
#

No problem, sir.

austere perch
#

Last question haha, do you know how to get foreign claims for yourself and remove other nations' claims?

half dagger
#

Yes.

#

X = { add_state_core = X }

#

The first X is the nation that adds the core and the second one is the state number.

austere perch
#

aight ty

half dagger
#

remove_state_core

#

Replace this with to remove.

#

AND!

#

Hold it a moment!

austere perch
#

aight

half dagger
#

add_state_claim

#

remove_state_claim

#

There's a difference.

#

A claim allows you to quickly get a war goal, but you don't get the full benefit of the state you've claimed.

#

While with a core, you get everything, like the full benefit of manpower and factory slots.

#

Also!

#

This wiki page contains a vast list of commands that can be used for scripting.

austere perch
#

Thanks man, sorry for bothering you:P

half dagger
#

It's okay, I just thought it better to provide you with the proper tools.

#

Provide a person a single line of code and they can correct a mistake.

#

Provide them with a manual on coding and they can create without help.

austere perch
#

Thanks a lot, ill tell you when im finished with the mod:)

half dagger
#

Alright!

austere perch
#

Im so so so sorry about this, but i might have scripted this wrong as the event does nothing but repeat itself and not giving or removing the cores

half dagger
#

Well, firstly...

#

You didn't put in a statement that makes sure that the event only fires once.

#

So, one moment.

#

fire_only_once = yes

#

Add this below is_triggered_only.

#

Let's see.

#

Your localisation name is bad.

#

Best thing to do regarding localisation of events is to have it like this.

#

X.Y.t
X.Y.d
X.Y.a

#

X being the namespace and the Y being the event number.

#

T is for title, d is description and a is the option.

#

However, if you want to add more choices, just use the next letter like b/c/d etc.

#

As for the event itself...

#

Let me replicate it in DEMD and see if I can spot the issue.

austere perch
#

Okay

half dagger
#

Just to ask...

#

The event itself activates, but the cores aren't given, correct?

austere perch
#

Well, i fixed that issua

#

issue*

half dagger
#

So, it gives the cores.

#

But it keeps repeating?

austere perch
#

Yeah, and the event thing is screwed

half dagger
#

Screwed how?

austere perch
#

It only shows the id, title and description instead of going to the (events_I_english.yml)

half dagger
#

I see.

#

Well, firstly...

#

Use your own localisation file.

austere perch
#

C:\Users\Tassen\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\trob\localisation right

half dagger
#

I said file, not folder.

austere perch
#

yeah

half dagger
#

Here's a blank one.

austere perch
#

so i will use a blank one?

half dagger
#

Yes, don't reuse anything that's in the base game, unless you have to.

austere perch
#

Ah

half dagger
#

As for the localisation.

#

it'll be...

#

atoll.1.t:0 "X"
attol.1.d:0 "X"
attol.1.a.:0 "X"

#

X being whatever the text is.

austere perch
#

Yeah

half dagger
#

That should fix it, I hope.

#

Inform me, if it doesn't.

austere perch
#

It works, thanks a lot. I'll stop bothering you now.

drifting pulsar
#

@austere perch The modding channel is made for this sort of talk. I don't think you're bothering anyone.

You're getting more help than I ever did from this channel.

Hey if you need flags let me know.

austere perch
#

Any suggestions for RGB colours?

obtuse condor

probably something blue

upbeat frigate

are the timed flags already in or are they coming in the next patch?

austere perch
#

I

#

I've got an issue, my dockyards on the new island isn't working and they are spawning in the middle of the island... Anyone got a clue ?

drifting pulsar
#

If it works like EU4 modding there should be a nudge function in the main menu(?) which allows you to put the location for built dockyards on the coast as opposed to the center.

austere perch
#

I'll try:)

drifting pulsar
#

You might need the game to launch in debug mode, have you done that yet?

austere perch
#

yeah

drifting pulsar
#

Alrighty

austere perch
austere perch
#

@drifting pulsar Hey, i reinstalled hoi4 just to fix the things that i screwed up, and now all of my dockyards are gone... how do i add new ones again?

drifting pulsar
#

I have no idea, sorry. Maybe @half dagger could help you there, he has a lot more experience with modding than I do.

It's Workshop.

I have no thread on the Paradox Forum.

runic mason

ok

#

it didnt show up on a workshop search

half dagger
#

Okay, look me up on Steam and check my workshop folder.

runic mason
#

I've found it

#

it needs TfV though

#

;-;

half dagger
#

Ah.

#

Care to add me on Steam?

#

If that's possible, that is.

runic mason

unfortunately not, as my steam profile has my IRL name, and is set to friends only viewing

sorry

Ah, that's alright, sir.

#

Understandable.

runic mason

@obtuse condor theres another good mod called "Cats of Iron"

What about Hearts of Iron modern war?

#

Still not released but eh

runic mason
#

what is that mod you are referring to?

marble gorge
#

Well

#

The continuation of the Modern Warfare mod for hoi3/4

#

It's still WIP tho

runic mason
#

the what mod

marble gorge
#

The Modern Warfare mod for hoi3

#

The most famous modern day mod for hoi3

runic mason
#

um

#

but theres already Milennium Dawn for HoI4

marble gorge
#

You mean the broken mod that steals other's work?

#

Yeah ik

runic mason
#

wait what

marble gorge
#

Our Mod however is much bigger

#

And more professional and less broken

runic mason
#

whats broken on milennium dawn?

#

I havent noticed any brokenness

marble gorge
#

This is the mod for hoi3

runic mason
#

yep

marble gorge
runic mason
#

ooh 2000 - 2030

#

shiny

marble gorge
#

Yup

#

We already have tons of events done

#

The UNSC is still work in progress tho

#

Also, the whole ui is being remade

runic mason
#

cool

marble gorge
#

So It'll look as a totally different game

#

You could join our discord channel

runic mason
#

also

#

you said Milennium Dawn steals others work

#

can you provide some sources for that please?

marble gorge
#

Sure

#

They've added new companies right?

#

You see how the icons for the companies look right

runic mason
#

which companies?

marble gorge
#

The flag in the left bottom corner

#

Tank companies and such

runic mason
#

yep that

marble gorge
#

They've added it this December

#

Take a look at this

runic mason
#

yes, what about it?

marble gorge
#

We had the companies ever since July 23rd

#

They've stolen the icons

#

They look identical

#

As for the code, I gave Ted52 the code

runic mason
#

Ted52?

marble gorge
#

I thought he wouldn't rip off our work

#

Ted52 is the lead Dev of MD

runic mason
#

ok

marble gorge
#

Someone had access to our github

#

They've stolen the Photoshop template for the icons

#

However, the spies were "purged"

#

I honestly don't know Why MD is so afraid of us

#

Is it because our Mod is 4 times bigger

#

Or maybe because we're creative and use our own assets

#

But I'm done with them

#

They asked to cooperate

#

And then they stole our work

#

Let's see their reaction next February

#

Once we have our first closed alpha

runic mason
#

that would be interesting to see

its looks shiny

marble gorge

Yup

I have trouble with making a state event, specifically, it only wants to fire for state, it being astrabinsk or sth like that in Rusia, here's how my event looks:

state_event = {
id = namespace.1

title = namespace.1.t
desc = namespace.1.d

mean_time_to_happen = {
    days = 1
}

trigger = {
    AND = {
        OWNER = { has_war = no }
        NOT = { is_core_of = OWNER }
        NOT = { has_state_flag = flagged }
    }
}

option = {
    name = namespace.1.a
    custom_effect_tooltip = namespace.1.a.t
    set_state_flag = flagged
    OWNER = { add_political_power = -10 }
}

}

Any idea how to make it fire for all states that meet requirements in trigger?

Would anyone like to make some flags for an alternative history hoi mod? If so dm me and I'll give you the details

what is the alt history mod about?

solar shadow

@runic mason starting off with African nations. As if they ran out the colonialists

Just starting in HOI4 any must have mods from people?

obtuse condor
#

hm

#

I would acquire better music sounds

#

Kaiser Reich

#

and pointers-graphics mostly unless you dont feel like playing for achievements

maiden lantern
#

@arctic topaz Try Kiser Riech, GW and Melenium dawn

arctic topaz
#

Thanks I will look into them!

drifting pulsar
#

Kaiserreich, Great War and Millenium Dawn aren't exactly great ways to start HOI4.

#

The only mod I can think of that's reasonably popular and doesn't fundamentally change the game is the coloured buttons mod. You might also want Increased Resources for a more fun outside Europe game, but that will block you from getting achievements

maiden lantern
#

@arctic topaz have you played paradox games before?

arctic topaz
#

@maiden lantern I have a couple hundred hours on Crusader Kings 2

Well then you should be able to play HOI4 fairly easily

Guyss.... Im having some issues with creating a focus tree...

#

Im creating my first tree ever, but some of the focuses doesnt show up...

#

There is supposed to be a mutually_exclusive one next to people's gov, but it doesnt show up...

obtuse condor

just check the positioning you silly bugger

austere perch

i have hahah, i've been trying to fix this for days now... just realized that there was a focus manager:P

austere perch
half dagger
#

Giving a screenshot won't help us.

#

Give us the entire document.

austere perch
#

ok

#

the problem starts at eightamericanconference i think

half dagger
#

Why aren't you using a new localisation file?

#

I told you before, use new ones.

austere perch
#

yeah, but when i used a new one all of the other countries' focus trees was nameless

half dagger
#

That's because you didn't change the name.

#

Put it as MODNAME_focus_l_english

austere perch
#

ok ty

austere perch
#

idk what happend

runic mason
#

question: where are the files for the 3d unit models that show up on the HoI4 map?

austere perch
#

i've fixed the location for the 3d unit models, but the blue line is still kinda crossing the island

runic mason
#

well, no, my question isnt related to your issue

#

:/

austere perch
#

ah

#

Well, set your launch options as -debug

#

go to the "NUDGE!" button in the hoi4 main menu

#

And then there will be a choose nudger list

#

press units

#

and you can edit the 3d units

#

and i mean

runic mason
#

ok

#

thanks

austere perch
#

the file is at Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\map-> positions.txt

#

ah, nvm that was the location

#

sorry cant help you:p

runic mason
#

ok

austere perch
#

or wait

#

u want the files for editing the 3d models? like the infantry ?

runic mason
#

yep

austere perch
#

The text files are at gfx->entities->infantry.gfx

runic mason
#

ok

#

thanks

austere perch
#

and i think the dds files are at gfx-models-units

runic mason
#

yep

austere perch
#

where do i find the directory of chief of army, military high command, theorists etc?

kind swan
#

@austere perch you figured out ? on the Sea thing ?

austere perch
#

Yeah

austere perch
#

how do i modify an opinion with a focus tree?

#

like -50 opinion

half dagger
#

Add an opinion modifier.

austere perch
#

could u create one for me? like -50 opinion for JAP?

half dagger
#

Better yet...

#

I'll teach you how to make them.

#

This blank opinion modifiers document goes into a folder called opinion_modifiers in the common folder of your mod.

#

When you want to create an opinion modifier, you type in a name for the modifier that can connect it to your localisation folder.

#

So...

#

I dunno....

#

MODNAME_jap_hate

#

And in the localisation, it'd be MODNAME_jap_hate:0 "Whatever you want it to be in here"

#

The second value you type in is what the modifier does.

#

So, it can increase opinion or decrease it.

#

Since you want -50, type in -50.

#

As for adding the modifier to the country.

#

Well, you use this command.

#

add_opinion_modifier = { target = X modifier = X}

#

In this case, the target means the nation that the modifier is directed at.

#

And the modifier is the name you put.

#

MODNAME_jap_hate being the example here.

#

As such, for your request, it'd be: add_opinion_modifier = { target = JAP modifier = MODNAME_jap_hate}

#

If you want a different nation than the one that used the focus...

#

So for example...

#

The commonwealth ties focus for the UK, which adds positive opinion towards the UK to Canada and such.

#

It'd be...

#

X = {
add_opinion_modifier = { target = X modifier = X}
}

#

X being the nation it's added to.

#

So, for example...

#

I used your focus and it added the modifier to a different nation...

#

Say...

#

The UK.

#

It'd be like this...

#

ENG = {
add_opinion_modifier = { target = JAP modifier = MODNAME_jap_hate}
}

#

To remove the opinion modifier, if it can be done, later...

#

Just swap the add_opinion_modifier command to remove_opinion_modifier.

#

Any questions?

@half dagger Hey, i'm struggeling with one of my focuses... I want a newfoundland for destroyers event in my focuses, but i really don't get how to do it.. any ideas?

half dagger

Have it trigger an event where The UK gets the choice to transfer Newfoundland. If it accepts, have the option cause Newfoundland to be transferred and destroyers either transferred from the Canadian Navy or have them created for free.

I made a quick personal mod to replace a leader portrait in kaiserreich. i can load the mod but it doesnt actually replace the portrait, probably because kaiserreich has priority in loading the files? anybody able to help out?

runic mason
#

well

#

you can download the non-workshop version of kaiserreich, replace the leader portrait, then install the modified kaiserreich as a non-workshop mod

novel bone
#

actually I fixed it simply by giving the portrait mod a higher letter so its loaded earlier on

austere perch

Any idea for how to make the effect list shorter?

It's called The Island Of Lena, i'm not finished yet tho:p

Not supporting europe

u can support the uk, but the island is located in the pacific and i mean, its better to support the ones closer to you yah

BRITISHNESS INTENSIFIES

I wonder if they'll ever abolish the monarchy...

#

I doubt they'd do it any time soon

hidden nacelle
#

Greatest chance for it is when the Queen dies

obtuse condor
#

They've still got the Princes and shit

#

Good figureheads

gentle copper
#

The norwegians were hiding

#

i reva

half dagger
#

I'd fight for the continuation of The Crown.

#

As far as I'm concerned, any attempt to abolish the monarchy is treason.

#

And what part do I use?

#

Treason Act 1703.

#

attempting to hinder the succession to the throne under the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701

obtuse condor
#

Something three hundred years old might be a tad outdated

#

Just maybe

#

The monarch doesn't hold much power nowadays anyway

half dagger
#

Doesn't matter, all of the government's power is derived from the crown.

#

The law is absolute.

obtuse condor
#

In a modern world a monarch has no place

#

Well, uh... maybe in the Middle-East but eh

#

well

#

Rather in the western world a monarch has no place

#

They're just relics of days gone by

#

However that's just my opinion

half dagger
#

I disagree with your opinion.

#

But, that's life.

#

We have opinions.

#

We're neither right, nor wrong.

#

It is what we decide individually with our own experiences.

obtuse condor
#

Indeed

half dagger
#

Still, I would not accept any government that wishes to dethrone the monarch.

obtuse condor
#

You'd hardly take up arms, would you?

half dagger
#

I'd definitely protest.

#

Most vocally.

obtuse condor
#

Hmm

half dagger
#

But I'd not be a hooligan.

obtuse condor
#

Good

half dagger
#

Throwing bricks at the police is not a method that would legitimise my opinion.

#

Plus, it's not very nice.

obtuse condor
#

Indeed

#

Violence doesn't ever really determine who's right

#

Just who has the power

half dagger
#

In my opinion...

#

Her Majesty The Queen.

#

All power is derived from her.

#

Defacto, yes, the government rules...

#

But legally.

#

All power is derived from The Crown.

#

Her Majesty's Government.

#

Her Majesty's Armed Forces.

#

Legally, they all owe allegiance to The Sovereign.

#

Or govern in her name.

#

The status quo is the way.

#

And, even though the law on treason is ancient.

#

It's still in effect.

#

The last person to be sentenced was Lord Haw-Haw.

#

AKA William Joyce after ww2.

#

Since he assisted the Nazi's in propaganda.

#

Plus, if I'm not mistaken.

#

The Queen can still refuse to sign a bill into law.

obtuse condor
#

Hmm

half dagger
#

Hasn't happened since 1708.

#

But, it can still be done.

half dagger
#

Still...

#

Ech, some of these need redoing.

half dagger
#

Looks good.

#

I have to agree, the last one just seems off in its colors

half dagger
#

I'd like to point out that I am not an artist.

#

None of these images you've seen are made from scratch.

#

None of them are edited extensively.

#

Because I am no artist.

#

The most I've done in regards to art is badly made stick drawings made in pencil when I was 7.

#

Or colouring in those colouring books you get at Pizza Hut.

#

So, it's not that I'm scared about anything.

#

Merely that I don't actually have the ability to do anything.

half dagger
#

We can be ugly together, Andret!

#

I've got my own ugly pictures!

kind swan

actualy yours is better then mine . but i can fix them very easily

austere perch
#

Guys, how do i make "New Commanders" get pictures? I can't figure it out :/

half dagger
#

Define "New Commanders".

austere perch
#

when you create new commanders ingame by clicking the New Commander button

half dagger
#

Okay and what is the problem?

#

They get a picture randomly.

austere perch
#

I only get the one without a face..

I see.

#

What country are you using?

austere perch
#

The one i made hah

half dagger
#

Ah, I see.

half dagger
#

Did you pick a country culture?

austere perch
#

How do i do that?

half dagger
#

In the common folder of your mod, there should be a folder called countries.

austere perch
#

yeah

half dagger
#

This folder contains files that state what kind of random general pictures your country gets.

austere perch
#

ah

#

wait

half dagger

You then need to link it to the country tag of the nation via the country_tags folder.

#

@upbeat frigate where in /common?

upbeat frigate
#

just in common, same as static modifiers, should it be somewhere else specifically?

kind swan
#

i just found a nice archive with ww2 generals

#

if somebody want it pm me

ruby crest
#

@upbeat frigate I think it needs to be inside static modifiers.

feral light
kind swan
#

90107043823692806

upbeat frigate
#

@ruby crest but then it will be incompatible with other mods that use static modifiers and thats what I would like to avoid, anyway, Its possible to just add modifier directly without creating it with a name anywhere, so thats what ill be doing

ruby crest
#

@upbeat frigate Their should be but hoi4 does not have the folder for static modifiers like other paradox games

upbeat frigate
#

jeez, now I'm having trouble with timed flags

#

I have one event set a timed flag for one state, and another one fires when that flag is gone, for the state that has another flag, but instead it fires for state that still has that timed flag

ruby crest
#

@upbeat frigate You probably did not have a not on it. So it was looking for states still having the flag. Could you not just have a delayed event I think you can do that in hoi4.

upbeat frigate
#

I do have a not, here's my limit:
limit = {
AND = {
is_controlled_by = FROM
has_state_flag = integrated_by_@FROM
NOT = { has_state_flag = integ_bonus }
NOT = { has_state_flag = integrating_by_@FROM }
}
}

#

discord ate some _

#

I know it's possible to do a delayed event, but because it will be happening in a lot of states, it could happen in very wrong order

#

I mean that instead of first firing for state it was fired from, it could fire for state that fired that event later

#

and Integrating_by_@FROM is timed flag if that matters

upbeat frigate
#

ok I figured out a workaround, set a timed flag to have value, and then when checking for states I am now also checking if the value is > 0

#

or maybe its not a workaround but just how its supposed to be used

#

dont care

#

its working

#

I think there were some mentions that timed flags values are set to 0 instead of getting removed, so that might have been the problem here

ruby crest
#

has_state_flag = integratedby@FROM

#

you want the state to have the flag

feral light
#

Is it possible for me to change nukes data?

#

Or is that hard coded?

upbeat frigate
#

@ruby crest is that a question?
the way I wanted it to work, was, at first set 2 flags: integrated and integrating
Just having "integrated" doesnt mean this state is integrated, because it still has "integrating" flag
Anyway, I found out yet another way to do it - just check how longthe flag has been on a state

novel bone
#

needs more gfx, otherwise very cool

since this is a very often recurring event i assume, it'd be annoying for it to be so bland the whole time

#

The Bourbon Restoration was the period of French history following the fall of Napoleon in 1814 until the July Revolution of 1830. The brothers of executed Louis XVI of France reigned in highly conservative fashion, and the exiles returned. They were nonetheless unable to reverse most of the changes made by the French Revolution and Napoleon. At the Congress of Vienna they were treated respectfully, but had to give up all the territorial gains made since 1789.
King Louis XVI of the House of Bourbon had been...

quick fulcrum
#

what does the dimensions of a leader portrait need to be?

#

I recall it being 312x420, but i'm on my laptop and don't have access to any of my source files

quick fulcrum
#

I'm going to assume that's the dimension for now, but this is what I finished

#

Low quality image of the president of Japanese Philippines Jose P Laurel

#

He's the leader of Fascist Philippines by default, but he only has that dreadful generic asian portriat

half dagger
#

Leader portraits are 156x210.

#

@austere perch To answer your query regarding making a country a puppet, I assume at the beginning of a game, you can follow the example of The UK.

#

if = {
limit = {
has_dlc = "Together for Victory"
}
set_autonomy = {
target = X
autonomous_state = autonomy_x
}
else = {
puppet = X
}
}

#

This is to be added to the nation that will be the overlord of the puppet.

#

So, if you want Bhutan to be the puppet of Cuba...

#

You'd put what I've shown above into Cuba's History file.

#

Not Bhutans.

#

Then, you'd fill in the details.

#

Target/Puppet has the country tag.

#

So, for this example, it'd be BHU for Bhutan.

#

And then Autonomous_state.

#

Which can be...

#

integrated_puppet
puppet
colony
dominion
