either from annexing all the nations as one in it or releasing it as a puppet if you've annexed all the states
if you want to go all the way maybe make it so the overlords name is in front of middle africa

I put together a Mod to help prevent "Historical, All-Welcome, All-DLC" games from becoming meme games. I use it on my server and a couple of other servers where I am an admin, but I figured I'd share it here as well for those who may be interested. I'd say it's pretty much complete, but if you happen to come across a bug or something that is missing, let me know and I'd be happy to fix it. It's much faster than Spot Optimization and runs comfortably on 5 speed with 20+ players. It has some quality of life improvements, particularly for the host having to enforce a historical rule set, but is otherwise Vanilla. A more complete change log is in the mod description.

(crashing and won't state why in checksum)

Sounds like you've broken something.
I think if you fix it, the mod will then run well again.
(like, that's literally the best answer anyone will be able to give you with the provided info)
cyan cobalt
I was going to give more info to whoever DM'd me lol
But I will here if that's the case
The only things the checksum spits out are:
[15:08:26][map.cpp:1681]: Province 13222 has only 5 pixels around (x=1393,y=687). Should have at least 8
[15:08:26][map.cpp:1681]: Province 13223 has only 6 pixels around (x=1389,y=684). Should have at least 8
[15:08:26][map.cpp:1770]: Map invalid X crossing. Please fix pixels at coords: 1388,685
[15:08:26][map.cpp:1770]: Map invalid X crossing. Please fix pixels at coords: 923,595```Whenever I hit start after selecting any country, it goes halfway through the loading bar and crashes.
I have tried reinstalling the game to no prevail
cyan cobalt
I fixed all of these things
I got it to where it creates no errors in the checksum and it still crashes at the same spot
obtuse condor
I mean, in my experience, the game crashes for things that don’t necessarily show up on the error report and it’s often times a syntax error or a fleet for instance is supposed to start the game in two separate places at the same time. I’ve found that it’s easier to revert back to a working version of your work and redo the changes step by step, testing after each time. It’s hard to troubleshoot at this point as it sounds like you’ve played around with quite a lot.

@fervent crow I can tell you one thing
do NOT use the nudger if you can do it by hand
its one of the worst war crimes by PDX to unleash that thing unto unknowing modders
hoary geode
The worst thing about it that it sometimes crashes the game, but Steam still thinks it's on so you can't open it, despite the task manager saying that it's not, so you need to close Steam in the task manager and open it again so you can crash in the nudger again
oak bough
It also crashes if you go into it from the console instead of the main menu and then try to exit
Seriously, use it for building and unit placements and thats it
I had to fix strategic regions with it once, after 5 hours of hell I did it by hand instead

It allows changing a flag, name and color of a country indepenent of its ideology
Example: The formable nations in vanilla (PLC, Byzantine etc.)
Assign it in an effect line via "set_cosmetic_tag = [your id here]"
Then define the new name, color and flag as you would for a normal country
but [your id here] acting as a TAG
To get rid of it use "drop_cosmetic_tag = yes"

Available
Availability says if a country can select it. If a country does not meet the requirements detailed under "available", then you will not be able to select it (If a minister/designer) or it will be cancelled (national spirit). For example, if you want an idea you can only select while being at peace:
available = { has_war = no }

OOB files are history/units

@candid vigil @hoary geode ik, they weren't the oob though ... It was a problem with the definition.cvs/provinces map .... I will have to redo them ... but at least i saved my main mod.

Hey
This focus isnt showing up can someone tell me why
focus = {
id = ITA_monarchistuprising
icon = GFX_focus_attack_italy
x = 33
y = 1
cost = 10
available_if_capitulated = yes
prerequisite = { focus = ITA_anewpath }
ai_will_do = {
factor = 1
}
completion_reward = {
hidden_effect = {
start_civil_war = {
ruling_party = neutrality
ideology = fascism
size = 0.35
}
set_party_name = { ideology = neutrality long_name = ITA_neutrality_party_civil_war name = ITA_neutrality_party_civil_war }
random_other_country = {
limit = {
original_tag = ITA
has_government = fascism
}
set_stability = 0.9
set_war_support = 0.8
}
}
}
}
}
This is the code
hoary geode
Does ITA_anewpath exist?
hoary geode
The only thing about }s I found is that the last one is not needed, but I guess it's at the end of the focus tree, right?
abstract herald
its 3rd to last on the code
hoary geode
Why aren't you using relative_focus_id by the way?
hoary geode
Position of the national focus relative to an another focus
It could have overlapped with some other focus
abstract herald
i used the hoi4 modding website tool
hoary geode
Yeah, it's a popular opinion that editing focus tree manually is better.
Hold on, I'm checking it
abstract herald
its good for a start this focus was actually done manually
copied from germanys kaiser civil war
hoary geode
I have a very similar focus in my focus tree
abstract herald
k
hoary geode
Maybe replace random_other_country with random_country?
abstract herald
k
hoary geode
Although it's unnecessary
hoary geode
The only solution I found is that it could be overlapping a focus
Because everything seems right to me
abstract herald
i could be that but it worked before i made the civil war change
ill just scrap it and redo it
should I make the mod an event
focus
hoary geode
Maybe
lusty lintel
I added a focus to ally Poland as Italy, so I might help if you catch me when I'm at my pc
abstract herald
is this focus good?
focus = {
id = ITA_communism
icon = GFX_goal_support_fourth_int
x = 28
y = 2
cost = 10
available_if_capitulated = yes
prerequisite = { focus = ITA_monarchistuprising }
mutually_exclusive = { focus = ITA_victoremanueliii }
mutually_exclusive = { focus = ITA_democracy }
mutually_exclusive = { focus = ITA_thearmy }
completion_reward = {
add_ideas= communism
}
}
}
this could be the root cause
hoary geode
You can do mutually_exclusive = { focus = test focus = test }
hoary geode
National focuses
hoary geode
Or thrice
abstract herald
might of found the problem
imma see
one of the exclusives didnt make sense
it required it and was exclusive with it
heavy arrow
@abstract herald What's this for it sounds really interesting
heavy arrow
Monarchist Italy sounds really fun
abstract herald
there will be a communist tree that will spread communism to southern europe
monarchist italy you will create a greater italian empire
democracy is kinda boring you just join the allies with britian and france against germany
heavy arrow
What would be fun is if Italy could make Germany take the restore the kaiser focus
abstract herald
could take?
hoary geode
Italy could make Germany monarchist?
hoary geode
Germany can make Italy monarchist in the base game

Any Idea why this cursed Event doesn't fire even though all conditions are met ?????
note: I fired it after 17.mars that's why the 3rd condition looks like it's not met.

Well, checks for even firing is checked every 20 days (I think) in the game on average
candid vigil
@rain talon
hoary geode
There's no way to set an upper limit as to when an event fires
The only thing about them is mean_time_to_happen

So i have to fire them from a focus or an event ... right

Well, yes

@steady storm which part is not working?
oak bough
Did you assign this OOB to the country you want it to load?
Or is it loaded via command ingame due to a focus etc...?
steady storm
yeah assigned it to the OOB
oak bough
so you have a line like this oob = "filename"
in your country file?
steady storm
let me check
hmm I have but I think I made a little typing error let me check if it works now.
oak bough
That might have been it, the names are case sensitive
steady storm
haha that was it thanks man! this almost gave me a mental break down XD
oak bough
I know those kinds of mistakes, they keep giving me mental breakdowns as well
The first time I added a tech it took 4 hours due to a little oversight like this

yeah its horrible! but thanks man gonna continue working on the mod

You don't

@round geyser You have to find a source online that hosts the files
Then you can manually install the mods
round geyser
@oak bough I did that part. I've downloaded the mod files but I don't where to put it.
oak bough
You have two "Hearts of Iron IV" folders somewhere on your PC (I assume you pirated the game). One of them holds the game files, the other one holds cache stuff
In the second one, there is a folder called "mod". If there isnt, create it
Thats where the files go into
hoary geode
Why does nobody get this event? If I replace every_country with a specific tag (say, ITA), it works. Why doesn't it work with every_country?
It just says "Effects when selected: Every country:"
Nevermind, it works
Just doesn't say that it does
oak bough
A happy short story in modding
round geyser
okay now, I put the files into that mod folder but when i open the launcher there is nothing in the mod section
hoary geode
You might need to edit the .mod file.
Mods come with the .mod file, and one of the things it does inside is say where exactly is the location for the mod
I'd recommend changing path to something like path="mod/KR/Kaiserreich.zip"
Of course, the path depends on where exactly you put the archive and what is its name
Although it can also say archive= instead of path=, but it can be replaced.
Is there a shorter way to write this?
oak bough
No, but I guess you can make a scripted trigger so you only have to write it this way once
hoary geode
Oh, I see. Thanks.

What if the French Empire won the Napoleonic Wars and then collapsed? This is the question Frankereich seeks to answer. A total overhaul alternate history mod for Hearts of Iron IV, Frankenereich takes place in a world in which Napoleon vanquished his enemies and secured France's position as the dominant power on the world's stage. However, over a century of poor leadership and increasingly rebellious subjects has reduced France to a shadow of its former self. The question now is, will France once again vanquish its enemies and stand alone as the worlds only superpower, or will the age of the Frankereich finally come to an end. We are currently looking for coders, artists, and lore writers to join the Frankreich dev team. If you're interested in becoming a developer, or just staying updating on the mods progress, join our Discord server (if you are interested in becoming a developer make sure to ping me). Everyone is welcome!
