modding

[tall halo]

No problem. and thanks!

[worn river]

Hey, can anyone give me some advice?

Well, I'd love to post my question but it keeps getting deleted 😢

[obtuse condor]

@worn river

sure

[worn river]

Is there some kind of max message length?

Was trying to post code earlier but it wasn't having it

Anyway, question was about this

At the start of every focus tree (in default and all the mods I've seen)

What exactly does modifier = { add = 10 etc. mean?

[obtuse condor]

How much the focus tree is modified by the current mode

like death or dishonor modifies Yugoslavia's,Hungary's,Romania's and CzeckoSlovakia's focus trees

[worn river]

Ahh

So for modding is there any reason to change it?

Or just leaving it as add = 10

[obtuse condor]

leave it as it is

[worn river]

Thanks ❤

[tall halo]

Anyone know why flags don't pop up here?

[sterile hedge]

can anyone good at modding make a 1870s mod

[tall halo]

Sounds like an interesting project. I'd be interested into it once my mod is done.

[stable knoll]

Are there any mods that have like the world during the American revolution

[tall halo]

Not that I know of

[deft warren]

Fucking buy the game scum

i have no idea what i am supposed to do

[empty spruce]

seems like you have made hidden files visible and the game is trying to interpret something out of the desktop.ini file

[lethal cove]

Hey is anyone knows why can a game crash on Intializing game when modding?

[stable knoll]

Can anyone teach me how to mod

[lethal cove]

@stable knoll i can

[stable knoll]

@lethal cove awesome

[lethal cove]

Dm me if you want me to teach you

[placid hedge]

😩 👌

[copper wolf]

Does anyone know about The Year of Rice and Salt novels. If yes how well you think it will translate into a HOI IV mod?

[obtuse condor]

How many mods to i need to install in order to crash the game twice in a row?

[copper wolf]

[obtuse condor]

[white coral]

You just gotta get Millenium dawn

Boom

[copper whale]

@PolskaBall#9115 mix Road to 56 and millenium dawn

[copper whale]

@lethal cove I wanna know how to code hoi4 and the code language in general (i know none.)

[lethal cove]

@copper whale Alright

[copper whale]

it's gonna have to sorta be like a 'lessons' thing isnt it

like a class or something every weekend

[white coral]

@copper whale you should start by reading the wiki page on mods and making some focus trees

[craggy crypt]

also look at some yt tutorials

@copper whale

[placid hedge]

Would it be possible creating custom modifiers?

if you want to buff specific unit's attack for example?

[white coral]

Yes

I think is

[deft warren]

yes

you can

[placid hedge]

Great, does anyone know how by chance?

[deft warren]

its possible

its possible to do anything

actually

if you dig deep enough into game code

[rapid comet]

hi

[rapid comet]

hello guys.
do any one here know how to mod divsion designer? like add with more than 5 regiment ?

[white coral]

Well, I don't see why you would want that

[tall halo]

More power?

[white coral]

Wouldn't the game become unbalanced

[rapid comet]

no i just want to know how to change the divison designer? could it be done? if any one know how or where to find a guide , please tell me?

[craggy sparrow]

Hi

[obtuse condor]

@everyone i found a dank mod called reverse world, thought you guys might want to check it out

[placid hedge]

when voltaire talks shit

[deft warren]

still not holy

still not roman

and still not a empire

but a kingdom

@placid hedge

[placid hedge]

"kingdom"

archduchy*

[deft warren]

no

archduchy

is like

[placid hedge]

Austria has never been a kingdom

[deft warren]

if it was unified

it would not stay archduchy

and archduchy is just another name for kingdom tbh

[placid hedge]

Not neccesarily

[deft warren]

yes

thats the reason

why its Arch duchy

and not kigndom

HRE hates kingdomds

except bohemia

they are the exception

[placid hedge]

"a later monarchic title borne by the rulers of other European countries (for instance, Luxembourg)."

Duchies and counties would be considered kingdoms too with your logic

[deft warren]

luxembourg 10/10 example

[placid hedge]

any title for that matter

[deft warren]

well

its not a empire

its not

holy

its not roman

statement still stands

[placid hedge]

[deft warren]

Wait a minute

i dont think

a theocracy or papacy

can be a empire

that just seems wrong

[placid hedge]

It's symbolic anyways

it's not set in stone

[deft warren]

Emporer of the papal state

[placid hedge]

one can declare himself emperor if he wishes so

• you need foreign support

[deft warren]

it seems wrong

i dont think

anyone would call a theocracy

a empire

[placid hedge]

Once people recognize your empire you're fine

[deft warren]

then its not holy

and definitly not roman

[craggy crypt]

FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF THE LORD

FOR THE HOME OF THE HOLY

[deft warren]

Oh no

It's birb

[white coral]

tfw read "for the home of the loli"

[spring quartz]

how do you add the hearts of iron sort of vibe to portraits? im making a mod but i dont want the portraits to look like they're ripped straight from wikipedia

[obtuse condor]

1. Add hoi4 default background

2. Add oil filter to it

[tawdry crane]

.

[alpine walrus]

Anyone here good at modding or know the Millennium Dawn people

I want a Focus Tree for Canada in that mod

[tacit mesa]

I wish i had oil filter tbh

My computer is too shitty for it

So i have to use smudge tool instead

[keen forum]

guys ,i made a custom mod for a general (only adds one general) i did thedds picture thingy and coded it with sublime text , btu the general doesn't show up - waht's the issue?

[tacit mesa]

show the code

@keen forum

[keen forum]

wait a second , i think i found the issue

because it shows the leader which i added , but it doesn't show the commander itself

i think the code is correct

it shows the leader

[tacit mesa]

Probably because you put hashtags

[keen forum]

i'm dumb

you're my hero lol

lemme see if it works

this is my first mod ^_^

[tacit mesa]

kek

Everyone has to start somewhere

[keen forum]

yep , i don't really have that much experience n coding either

i just wanted georgia to have more than generic leader portraits ;d

i changed the name caucasus authority to greater sakartvelo (greater georgia basically)
it works , the country leader works too - lemme see if the general works now

@tacit mesa it says this

[19:16:45][virtualfilesystem_physfs.cpp:1085]: Could not open file: gfx/leaders/GEO/, error: Access is denied.

what shold i do ?

[tacit mesa]

Is the file hidden

[keen forum]

the general is tehre , but the picture doesn't show up

idk , how do i check that?

[tacit mesa]

nvm

[keen forum]

it's in gfx/leaders/geo

the file is there

what am i doing incorrectly?

[tacit mesa]

I've never had that issue myself

[keen forum]

the file is not read only and it isn't hidden either

nvm

the folder is read only

i changed it , let me see if it works now

guys the general shows up but the picture doesn't
and it writes ths : [19:28:20][texturehandler.cpp:163]: Texture Handler encountered missing texture file: gfx/leaders/GEO/gfx/leaders/GEO/Portrait_Georgia_General_Giorgi_Mazniashvili.dds

however the ai can't handle it and it is pretty much broken single player

[carmine sierra]

@obtuse condor i liek how you complain about us not responding to you within 3 minutes of you mentioning us

[tacit mesa]

@craggy crypt What do you mean, they are flipped?

[obtuse condor]

@carmine sierra It's all solved m8

@tacit mesa colours might be colours that you wanted from the other side of the colour wheel

e.g. red should be blue and etc. (if i got it right)

@tender light Easiest way is, if you want to do a thing, check vanilla files on how its done there, change it accordingly

[craggy crypt]

as well

[obtuse condor]

@obtuse condor want me to test the mod

Does anyone know if 'casualty_trickleback = 0.10' works in creating custom laws?

Also, does anyone know if it's legal to add custom voice lines for other countries since it's featured in DLC. Otherwise I may contact Paradox about it.

[obtuse condor]

nice nice

Im lookin for some help with a mod actually

[noble aurora]

@tacit mesa how so, like will they boost popularity or just be a lot more aggresive?

[tacit mesa]

The commie revolutions that happened in 1919 and later were much more succesful

Along with Trotsky becoming the leader of the Soviet Union, making it much more agressive in spreading the revolution

[noble aurora]

huh, sounds interesting. I like that idea

[obtuse condor]

https://discord.gg/n4Veb3

So i had an idea of a add-on mod for Millenium dawn which adds indepedence Wars all around europe.
Like Catalonia, Basque, scotland, galicia,bavaria,etc.

[torn swan]

Don't ferget Friesland then in the Netherlands. They potentially want freedom too.

[normal heron]

Don't forget The Mapuches, Punta Arenas from Chile, Santa Cruz from Bolivia, Amazonas from Brasil, Texas, etc

[torn swan]

My Dutch voices mod is working.

It works

Voices in video.

May need to be bit louder though.

[placid hedge]

are those the dutch voicelines from napoleon total war?

[torn swan]

Yes

No

Empire Total War

Someone did it too for Swedish voices.

[torn swan]

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1186597835

ping me if interested

[obtuse condor]

I am interested in not helping ❤

[midnight heron]

someone had Kaiserreich mod for cracked games?

[obtuse condor]

Buy the game @midnight heron

[midnight heron]

never

[normal heron]

The game is -60% discount, you can't not buy it right now

[midnight heron]

-60? lol

hm

[normal heron]

Yes, it's really Cheaper than never

What?

[midnight heron]

i want the DLC

because vanilla game is shit

[normal heron]

The DLC have the Discount too

When I bought them

[obtuse condor]

Heh, the DLCs are pretty awful

[midnight heron]

it's better than just Focus three in... 6 countrys?

[obtuse condor]

Yeah but the focus trees aren't anything special, its mostly stuff that has been done in mods like the Reunification of austria hungary, pretty awful

[midnight heron]

i think the focus three maded by paradox are best than the focus trhee maded by modders

sometimes, the mods had OP focus three

[normal heron]

Yes, the Mods are Unbalanced

[midnight heron]

i found something better

[normal heron]

Wich Countries have Unique Focus Trees in Millennial Dawn Mod?

[tacit mesa]

USA, Russia, China, France, Germany, Britain, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Ethiopia

[normal heron]

But, There are more?, In Kaiserreich are more States that don't appear in the "Interesting Countries" List wich have an Original Focus Tree

[tacit mesa]

I don't think there are any besides the interesting countries

Otherwise it would be filled

[normal heron]

The List is Filled, A first Line of Major, and other one of Medium States

[torn swan]

Maybr MD mods that add focus trees?

[obtuse condor]

#piratehoi4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xohjeQOo3Uo4 (WILL WORK, HAS MODS! INCREDIBLE MODDED WATER PHYSICS FOR TSUNAMIS IN HOI4?!!!)

[normal heron]

I don't understand nothing in Kaiserreich, What is historicaly happening in that mod?

Ah, Now I understand Everything

Why France, UK and Italy have Commie Counterparts?

The Soviet Union Doesn't exist

But The Revolution got it in the Major Powers

The Democratic ones

[dry mountain]

They saw that democratic, capitalism didn't work, the taked will of the peopls, SSSR don't exist because Germany help Russia to crush Lenin. I think so.

And Germany is weak becouse they taked just colonies. And nothing else.

[normal heron]

I am going to see if Spain is Useful in this Mod

[dry mountain]

They still get civil war even now.

[normal heron]

Really?

Ok, I am dead

[dry mountain]

Three sides civil war in spain.

[normal heron]

Any Recommendation or Tip?

I don't want to lose

[dry mountain]

Probably France but I'm not sure. I didn't play much.

[normal heron]

Wich path should I follow right now?, in the Beggining

No, I am going to play with Spain, some recommendation for the Civil Wars

[dry mountain]

Ouuu, I have no idea, except I can wish you good luck.😀

[normal heron]

Thanks for the Luck (8

[light pulsar]

Helllooo

Just a question

Is there a mod to make the smaller countries a bit more op?

[normal heron]

I saw something like that

[dry mountain]

I didn't saw one, but road to 56 can make them stronger if you play well.

[light pulsar]

damn :/

Playing Nepal is a bit... hard ? xdD

but i Conquered tibet, which is nice.

[oak bough]

If you dont care about logic and want supereasy mode use "Easybuff" mod

[light pulsar]

nah, just a bit stronger 😦

[dry mountain]

😂 😂 😂 yea Nepal is quite havy.

[oak bough]

maybe the lv1 buff from easymode is weak enough for you? 🤷

[normal heron]

An Unique Focus Tree should make every country Stronger

[light pulsar]

the UDDSSR are at my doors

they wanna bring me some communism

[dry mountain]

Accept it with open hands!

[light pulsar]

No ! :what:

wait, no nitro. https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/334074624969146368.png

[normal heron]

Communism is a Good Ideology in HoI4, you have a HUGE Major Country in your side, and you can justify a war easily

[light pulsar]

ok

[normal heron]

Fascism is fated to the Death

Democracy is Boring and Non-Aligned is just, it don't have Nothing

[light pulsar]

Its working with USA at least https://i.gyazo.com/7455865b9181c410d02c60698b549d29.jpg

[normal heron]

Órale Wey, ¿Cómo los gringos pueden hacer eso?

[light pulsar]

wat?!

xD

[obtuse condor]

[light pulsar]

So... I play nepal, conquer tibet

after that I invade the other asian countries there

[alpine walrus]

They don't call it a Dragon tho it the Bhutanese Republic

[normal heron]

next time dont wait for an hour

[tardy panther]

hey guys i got a question on creating units

when you want to add a unit you need to specify a location where the unit will 'spawn' when you create a game

where can i find all the different locations?

eg. ```
division= {
name = "1e Divisie"
location = 3314 # Amsterdam
division_template = "Infanterie Divisie"
start_experience_factor = 0.1
start_equipment_factor = 0.5

}

this unit 'spawns' in location 3314 where can i find the codes for all the other locations?

[tacit mesa]

Tdebug

[tardy panther]

what do you mean? sorry im kinda new to modding

[tacit mesa]

[tacit mesa]

Well there are 13000 provinces

[tardy panther]

[torn swan]

I did see a map once. Trying to find it

[tardy panther]

If you find it let me know

That would be kinda handy

[torn swan]

I will later. On phone now. PC is easier.

[tardy panther]

cool

[torn swan]

@tardy panther I will now search

I am at work

So I don't know how much time I can spend on this.

I found it.

But it's large.

Very large

Yep

Too large

Hold on

Image is 36-37 Megabytes

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AniBSFLwg7XGgbUOL6tjyBc6WOjPiw

There it is.

Either links lead to the same image.

Hello, I'd need some help here
is there any way to have a sub-ideology define the country's name and flag?
I tried doing this
http://puu.sh/ydcfD/cb4eb16382.png
http://puu.sh/ydcgu/9e09f38dbd.png
http://puu.sh/ydchz/940c8a2e4f.png
http://puu.sh/ydcpM/ac1d2e73c8.png
but I can't seem to find any way to have the country's name/flag be affected by this

[tardy panther]

@torn swan thanks man. I'll have a look at it when I got some time

[torn swan]

[tacit mesa]

REEEE

[torn swan]

I should make a pepe country.

With a 'kek' ideology.

Alt right as faction.

Reeeeee as unit voices.

And butthurt modifiers and events.

But what location should it start at?

Florida?

Denmark?

[oak bough]

Kekistan?

[torn swan]

Or edit maps and create an island?

That doesn't exist.

[oak bough]

Neither does the "kek" ideology, so I thought that wasnt your concern

[torn swan]

Nah.

Juat want something goofy.

Tourette's land?

Ohhh

A country based on Paradox Interactive. With the actual crew being portrets amd stuff.

Or is that already done?

I should do that, honour the creators.

[dry mountain]

Nice idea, I like it.

[torn swan]

I'll do that.

Sounds like something I can be busy with for a while.

https://career.paradoxplaza.com/people

Great source for portrets.

CEO will be country leader. For all ideologies. :v

I will actually try to respectively add their functions in the mod. Like Tove Lind. She's recruiter. So she should add a manpower bonus.

Maybe add certain game designers as developers for arms and research.

So much ideas already.

[dry mountain]

Write it, if you forgot something.

[torn swan]

Yes

I won't forget. Will start on it tomorrow.

Anyone who wishes to help, gladly.

And of course, a custom focus tree.

One which includes taking over Sweden.

[dry mountain]

I wish to help but my PC is dead.

[torn swan]

And I'd like a new ideology for it. Something referring to gaming.

[dry mountain]

Paradoxism. XD

[torn swan]

Yes

Good idea

I will actually do that.

[dry mountain]

I can only help with a names. For someone make Ultimate focus, Paradox the world, gain annex wargoals on Everything.

[torn swan]

Oohh

Good

[dry mountain]

That is all from me, if you need something, just ask, I'm in much cases usles.

[torn swan]

Nahhh

[simple lion]

does road to 56 work with increased resoruces mod?

[torn swan]

Yes

[obtuse condor]

h0t

[torn swan]

I created the Paradox Interactive as a new country.

But it's very stale.

No dedicated leader.

Or focus tree

Nothing.

Not even a flag. :v

But it works, for a start.

[dry mountain]

What shall flag looks like?

[torn swan]

Don't know yet, but something logo related.

Also, country leader will be Fredrik Wester

The actual CEO of Paradox Interactive.

This will be the image. Just need a background.

[dry mountain]

Not bad, but Paradox logo isn't interesting, what buffs you will give him as leader?

[torn swan]

Not sure yet.

[dry mountain]

My opinion is something with political power, and where is counry located?

[torn swan]

GotLand

Want to add a focus tree to aim on taking over Sweden.

[dry mountain]

You should make two paradox countrys, one with CEO, and one by second in command in Paradox, and they shoul hate each other. XD

Or cocurent company of Paradox, or I'm just sayng nonsens?

[torn swan]

Nah

But that's not my goal.

It's working

[dry mountain]

Some special ideology, or you shall just leave it non allied?

[torn swan]

Don't know yet.

[dry mountain]

I don't now anything about modding, I have no idea how hard it is.

But I should add something special, at least justifaing war goal time minus

[torn swan]

It's not hard. Just don't change as much as original files. Try to add on them if possible.

[inland wyvern]

put daniel from the hoi team as leader

[dry mountain]

I must watch some tutorial, but I'm playng on my friends PC, becouse my comp is dead xD

[dry mountain]

@inland wyvern He can if He want to put him as the replacment if Fredrik die by event

[torn swan]

Could also add him as an advisor

Or something else.

[inland wyvern]

nice

[dry mountain]

There is a lot of work, I'm sorry becouse I cant't help, but I can talk and iritate you.

[torn swan]

Lel

[dry mountain]

I don't have idea what that means!

[craggy sparrow]

@everyone EU4 or HOI4?

[normal heron]

HoI4, it's cheaper

[craggy crypt]

Depends on what you want- EU4 is more about economy and politics combined with warfare compared to the HOI series @craggy sparrow

[torn swan]

I took some more photos of people from Paradox as new roles for stuff.

Maybe I make Daniel Sjöberg a military commander?

It's going to be such a large mod.

A whole custom country. Everything custom. Also a unique focus tree in the future.

[torn swan]

Made the flag. :v

Will be the same for all ideologies.

For now at least.

[obtuse condor]

Please make a focus path focusing on taking over the old Swedish empire including parts of old Prussia.

Make a custom unit. The moose cavalry 😃

[torn swan]

Flags don't seem to work.

Need to figure that out later.

Fixed it

A custom focus tree is the goal, yes.

And taking over sweden also.

[boreal crag]

why everyone so excited bout the mod?

[obtuse condor]

Because it’s cool

[boreal crag]

but

theres a shit ton of mods that creates a new country everywhere on the workshop

[obtuse condor]

But not discussed here

Well i mean it’s the first for me

[torn swan]

It's a mod based around Paradox Interactive.

You'll see.

[obtuse condor]

Please let me know if there’s anything I could help with. I personally love the idea. Atm I’m at the hut cuddling with my kitten but when I come home I’ll try to help the best I can 😃

[torn swan]

Flags are working.

Need more custom leaders

Need some generals and admirals

Need more advisors.

More more more

And divsions

And remove a pesky Swedish one from Gotland

[astral beacon]

How do i rename a state?

[oak bough]

You can either change it ingame by command state_id = { set_state_name = "YourNameHere" }

Or in the localisation files

[astral beacon]

I'll look into it

[astral beacon]

Got it! Thnx

[calm kayak]

Is it possible to rename factions?

[empty spruce]

can you also change the VPs?

of a state?

[torn swan]

For my Paradox Interactive country mod

Which one looks better for an advisor? Idea icon? Or dedicated advisor icon?

[torn swan]

He is added

[tacit mesa]

Christ that clipping

Smoothen those edges

[jaunty wigeon]

Hey, can anyone explain to me how the "set_country_flag" command works?

[tacit mesa]

It sets a flag

Then you can check for that flag

The end

@jaunty wigeon

[jaunty wigeon]

oh
thanks mate

another issue:
http://puu.sh/yeGrR/1b5bd5ec75.png
http://puu.sh/yeGsi/b3f265c58e.png
This only seems to change the flag appropriately, however the name of the country stays the same

[tacit mesa]

TAG = { set_cosmetic_tag = COSTAG }

Add the tag and then the effect in brackets

[obtuse condor]

What is the event where Vichy France is made, I tried France.10 and it crashes, any help?

[jaunty wigeon]

What about sub-ideologies affecting country names/flags? I've tried multiple ways now but I can't figure it out for the life of me

[craggy crypt]

don't think you can do that @jaunty wigeon

only way you can is via cosmetic tags for each sub ideology i think?

[wheat frost]

Die Kriegsmarine

ss angriff

road 56

soviet expanded

player led conference

[torn swan]

Anyone who recommends me people I should include in my Paradox Interactive mod.

Any people, like the developers, I should include as commanders or anything?

[calm kayak]

Yeah

Include some as generals

So it would make sense

Pizza hut is leading Germany but Erwin Rommel is the general

Also you can add Steacy Mcilwham

[torn swan]

I also need to add chirpy.

From Cities Skylines.

But the intention is that Chirpy will be useless to use.

You can use it as advisor. But it just does nothing.

As an easter egg. Like thingy.

What would you like Steacy to be?

Also, two new generals

@calm kayak

[obtuse condor]

Make sure you add gamers as the Elite divison template

[torn swan]

Ohh

Good idea.

[torn swan]

Maybe through a focus

[hardy pollen]

damn

when you work for years on a mod

then update comes out and ruines it

[torn swan]

^

I use seperate files.

I never alter existing ones. I add new ones.

Always follow the guidelines.

I love EU IV.

But the thing is...

HoI IV makes it feel more personal.

With portraits and actual figures. Like Millenium Dawn for example.

[calm kayak]

@torn swan you can make her a theorist

[torn swan]

Sure

Theorists what?

Can make a custom one.

Or had something in mind?

[calm kayak]

Also, who will be the political advisors?

Like fascist/communist/democratic demagogues

[torn swan]

Not sure yet.

I could stream to you.

And show what I got.

[calm kayak]

Wdym stream

[torn swan]

?

https://picarto.tv/Redmiles

Streaming now.

[astral beacon]

Is there a way to rename technologies for a spesific country?

[calm kayak]

I can't watch streams because I'm in a car and will be in a Car for the next 4 hours

[torn swan]

Others are free to watch too. =3

[oak bough]

How does one manage multiple leaders for the same party?

[tacit mesa]

events

[oak bough]

fugg

[obtuse condor]

What’s the mod called where you are able to like change your country’s colour?

[white coral]

Dynamic country colours

Or Formable Nations

[obtuse condor]

I want to manually choose color

[torn swan]

I had to add it as a political advisor.

Does nothing. Just as it should.

[calm kayak]

You should add more field marshals

[inland wyvern]

when this mod is done, you should send a message to paradox so they can try it out

[boreal crag]

Vafan ska dem göra som generaler xd

[torn swan]

Got to work hard on a new focus tree also.

Should add new, useless, events. For chirpy.

So activating it annoys you. =3

Still a WIP.

[normal heron]

Tannu Tuva Focus Tree please 8)

[calm kayak]

The pictures look a bit crispy

[torn swan]

When playing in full screen. You won't notice it.

[boreal crag]

@torn swan What tool will you use for national focus?

[torn swan]

Not sure yet. Manually doing it is also fine.

[obtuse condor]

what are the tools for national focuses

[torn swan]

https://hoi4modding.com/national-focus/

This is one.

[boreal crag]

@torn swan Nice! I got it fixed, it was bugged as hell last week

[torn swan]

Oh?

[boreal crag]

Nono, it should be good now 😉

[torn swan]

Okay?

Still has some flaws though.

[boreal crag]

Yes

It's not mine

I can give you contact to the dev

[torn swan]

Yes. Some other time.

[dry mountain]

@torn swan you are genius, you should make mod for yourself, after this, you as country leader.

[torn swan]

x3

[dry mountain]

I'm serius, if I write that right.

[obtuse condor]

nevermind

[dry mountain]

Wtf?

[obtuse condor]

wut

boi

[golden sapphire]

if i increase game speed would i have a better gaming experince

[obtuse condor]

No

[dry mountain]

Yes, unthil you get in a big war.

[obtuse condor]

no it won't m8

[dry mountain]

@golden sapphire Try and find out.

[obtuse condor]

m8

u r propaganda 😠

[dry mountain]

Go away.😝

[golden sapphire]

it works even in a big war

i just tried it

[dry mountain]

It works, but it's harder, if you have more than one front, or couple other thing to worry about it's better to go slower.

[golden sapphire]

it seem fine on my laptop i have like 3 big wars with another 6 small-mid wars apart with that big war

then again i am in observe mod and cause a lot of factions, civil wars, and a bunch of random stuff that happen in the gamefor example portugal became islamic

[torn swan]

Focus tree layout done

Will post pics soon

[dry mountain]

@golden sapphire when you are observer then you go fast as you like, but when you are playng, and there is a big war with you, to save your country It's better to go on slower.

[torn swan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/191407123249233921/377206228251705344/PDC_FOCUS_TREE_MAP.jpg

That's the main layout.

[dry mountain]

Shit, I'm on Android I can't see. 😭 😭 😭

[torn swan]

Some are mutually exclusive.

Some aren't.

Still a wip.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/191407123249233921/377207569518952448/PDC_FOCUS_TREE_MAP.jpg

Be critical whether this focus tree misses stuff.

And any ideas for modifiers are appreciated.

Maybe start all over. :v

Never made focus trees. Not really my profession.

[dry mountain]

You should send it to Paradox and see their opinion.

[torn swan]

Nah

I am not good enough for that.

[hardy pollen]

hey any help

cant figure out how to give new countries i make templates

[tacit mesa]

make a file in history -> units -> filename.txt

As for the divisions them selves, just look at some vanilla files

[torn swan]

Modding ain't hard if you just carefully research vanilla game files. Or mods.

[torn swan]

I want to change the focus tree a lot more. So it actually combines all together.

[oak bough]

Where do I specify the graphics file for equipment? If I want to add a new plane for example

[calm kayak]

@torn swan did you make the party names?

Like paradox's Peoples Party

[hardy pollen]

Personally i am trying to make an alternate history mod when sweden beat russian and denmark in 1658

also ottomans didnt join ww1 and died because of rebellions

and lots of other stuff

also america forgot to invade cuba

and take it from spain

also america forgot to invade mexic

you get the point

[oak bough]

Anyone?

[oak bough]

this is what it looks like right now, it loads the naval icon

[torn swan]

Can't look it up now for you.

[oak bough]

Found out its defined in the "technoloies.gfx", defined the sprite, now I need to figure out how to make it show up ingame

[obtuse condor]

it needs to be called "technologies.gfx"

[oak bough]

IT WORKS

no that doesnt matter, vanilla file has a big "T" too

[torn swan]

File name never matters.

Content, format, type and location do.

Never use original vanilla files unless there is no other way.

[obtuse condor]

Making mods basically making a country op is normal right?

[worn kelp]

hi anyone up for a game

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=963367733

[torn swan]

I will start over on my focus tree.

[obtuse condor]

no don't

you will ruin hoi4

😠

[torn swan]

?

[dry mountain]

Leave him, he has some eternal isues 🤒 🤕 Why you shold change anything?

[astral beacon]

I'm making a mod: Alternative History: The Kalmar Union - Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1192723153&searchtext=Alternative+History
And what would be a good name for a fascist Kalmar Union?
Here are some examples:
-Stor-Skandinavia
-Skandinaviske rike
-Nordiske rike
-Skandinavia
-Nordvældet
-Nordurrveldi
-Germania
-Norrønske rike
-Dannevældet
-Norden
-Midgard
-Midgård
-Forente Norden
-Greater Scandinavia
-United North

[obtuse condor]

I think Snåsamannens leilighet would work better tbh

[dry mountain]

Midgård is the best, like place in Nordic mitology.

[obtuse condor]

it is the place where humans live in norse mythology

[dry mountain]

Yes, I mean it is best option, for me at least.

[obtuse condor]

what do you think of the others?

[dry mountain]

Stor-Skandinavia is nice, Forente Norden is great and united North is cool.

[boreal crag]

But

Why everything in Norwegian

wut about swedish xdf

[torn swan]

`

`

[dry mountain]

Wow, it's...... ...... BIG.

[torn swan]

`

[dry mountain]

What is that lonely one?

[torn swan]

`

Still working on it

But will continue later.

Just wait. =3

Got me thinking.

I will add option to invite other countries to your own faction if you decide to make one yourself.

[dry mountain]

Nice.

[torn swan]

This focus tree may be too big. :v

[dry mountain]

That would be good, I like that, I hate small ones you finish them unthil 1942, and it isnt ineresting.

[calm kayak]

@torn swan add a focus where you can create your own faction

[torn swan]

Wow.

I'm not even...

[golden sapphire]

Is there a way for countries not to leave a faction once their in it

[boreal crag]

Ujh

Are you getting someone in but they're leaving immediatly?

[oak bough]

Maybe add a +200 opinion modifier so they like you more

[dry mountain]

Most reasons of leaving faction is: diferent ideology, too weak faction or just they are assholes.

[boreal crag]

yes

[torn swan]

Probably needs to add a system like it's a bit like the states of the US.

You can join, but never leave.

[torn swan]

Modding again.

Focus tree is done. For now.

Just need to do some minor stuff

https://picarto.tv/Redmiles

Streaming rest of my work now.

[torn swan]

I need knock off game companies.

Want to use those for the ideology drift advisors.

[astral beacon]

Are there any programs that make it a bit easier to make focus tree

[torn swan]

Yes. But they suck.

Already got good knock off brands

EA = BAE

Ubisoft = Ubishit

Steam = Weam (Maybe)

[tacit mesa]

SEA Ubihard Stem

[torn swan]

I had to.

Or is this too far?

[obtuse condor]

What

the DLC Whore part

EA is removing DLCs

[torn swan]

Yes?

[obtuse condor]

To much

BF2 will have no dlcs

And the next battlefield is debated still

[torn swan]

DLC is fine with me. But depends on the content.

[obtuse condor]

Bethesda (Make up a name please) could be BuggyFucks

[torn swan]

If the DLC is removed and turns in to cringing and grinding.

Than I rather pay.

[obtuse condor]

Bethesda is known for bugs

So please do bethesda with bugs XD

[torn swan]

muhthesduh

Need one more brand

Paradox starts out democratic?

I mean

Neutral

Maybe do Paradox neutral drift?

I have chirpy added too.

Should them so that when you enable him as advisor you get stupid and constant events.

[obtuse condor]

Lol

Paradox should be PairoDicks

XD

[torn swan]

Nah

[obtuse condor]

And yes make it neutral

People actually like being neutral sometimes

[torn swan]

Not even sure if I should do the knock off brands.

May be a bit too far, edgy.

I want the mod to compliment the Paradox team.

Not give them bad PR or something.

Maybe should keep it seperate for another mod.

[obtuse condor]

keep what seperate

[craggy crypt]

when you select chirpy @torn swan

can you make it so useless events occur every now and then?

[torn swan]

Yes

I said I will do that

Everyone keeps saying what I said I will do. Lel.

[calm kayak]

I'm kind of excited for the mod

maybe ISP will play it

[torn swan]

Yep. But still a lot to do. Also might going to rearrange the persons linked tobeach trait.

Also need to make custom industrial concerns.

Might change the fake brands that do ideology shifts to persons.

[gleaming cove]

Who knows some good mods to play with fri3nds

Friends

[astral beacon]

How do I use the focus tree manager? https://github.com/Minivera/FocusTreeAndEventManager I've been trying but can't figure out how to start it
Some help?

[torn swan]

The thumbnail for the mod I will be using.

[torn swan]

Any other thumbnail ideas are welcome!

[obtuse condor]

I thought Paradox was Finnish, not Swedish

[calm kayak]

Where's chirpy?

[obtuse condor]

I'm probably an idiot

[torn swan]

Chirpy will be a surprise.

Would save me a lot of time.
