hoary geode
It is not updated indeed, but you can just revert to 1.5.4
hoary geode
In Steam, right-click hoi4 in the library, properties, betas and change to 1.5.4 there
sleek coral
thanks
wise orchid
If I opt out of betas would it just put me on 1.7.1

im working on a stalin portrait - do you guys like it so far?
when im done colorizing il put all the wacky filters on it and make it look a bit better
hoary geode
He seems way too colourful?
minor reef
my last portrait didnt have enough color
i tried to spice it up a bit
theres only actually 4 colors there right now
hoary geode
I feel like the colours are way too bright
minor reef
alright, il tone them down, i just want to actually finish coloring him fully before i start to edit colors
thanks
obtuse condor
i think it looks fine
it just looks weird because the rest of the portait is in black and white

I learned to mod mostly through the wiki. The country creation and event creation are here

Usually you just copy from the base game/other mod and change some things though

The Vistula has fallen to the Reds, and Germany is clawing its way back into the world of empire. The east is in turmoil and America can barely contain the spread of far left parties. There is only one option, to fight and reclaim the lands that were lost to our forefathers. So we need you to volunteer as a reliable coder. If you can mod to any extent with Hearts of Iron 4 code, we need you to join the ranks of the Developers.

If I use a flag changer mod will that apply to when I play multiplayer, seeing as it only affects me?
and also what if the mod is 'outdated'?
lone flax
hey i need some help with adding a custom flag to a mod
lone flax
well ive got an image i have as a flag for a custom nation, and i cant seem to get the format right and get the same error and it doesnt show up
"Unsupported format. Expected 32bpp, uncompressed, no color palette"
i tried just overlapping my image over an existing flag but i think the program im using just changes the format and it wont work
candid vigil
Try gimp
Take the flag in .tga and rename it to .dds
Also when you have tga
Put your flag on the Old one
And adjust the size with resizing tool
@lone flax
@delicate saffron depends how flags are changing if you can run the game on ironman with it, it Will work on mp
I mean if you can get Achivements while playing with flag changer
lone flax
so i should just put it in the same dimensions essentially, but put it in a .dds even though all the flags are a .tga?
@candid vigil
hoary geode
Are you sure the flag has the correct size?
lone flax
its 82x52 pixels right?
hoary geode
Yes
lone flax
then yes
delicate saffron
Why are so many flag mods outdated
lone flax
maybe the system is updated
because @candid vigil it didnt even recognize the .dds file, it just said file not found
lone flax
nevermind, i figured it out, sorry for ping
hoary geode
Is there an easier way to make oobs (aka files in history/units) than just manually editing them?
obtuse condor
@hoary geode I do not think so
You may be able to make a neat software for the community
I've considered it but never actually tried
candid vigil
You can
@delicate saffron
As long as you only change gfx you can play on ironman and mp
delicate saffron
Will others see it in mp?
candid vigil
No
delicate saffron
wtf
i did the flag thing with gfx and gimp and whatnot
I activate the mod
the game crashes#
the mod deletes itself
it just deleted all the images too
wtf why
hoary geode
That's because you set the user directory to be deleted in the crash
candid vigil
@delicate saffron
You create the mod
Couldnt you just check how to add flags in hoi4 on yt?
It Will be easier to understand as video
delicate saffron
I've done it now
all good
Also
Is there anyway I can replace a RoadTo56 flag?
I've already got the big, medium and small designs
just idk where the 56 file is
hoary geode
The road to 56 is in steam/steamapps/workshop/content/394360/820260968/1956.zip
delicate saffron
Also how can I change a portrait for the base game? I want to change Fascist Sweden’s leader portrait yet all I can find is the democratic portrait
hoary geode
The Fascist Swedish leader is at gfx/leaders/Europe/Portrait_Europe_Generic_land_3.dds
In order to make him have an unique portrait, not a generic one, you'll need to change history/countries/SWE - Sweden.txt
However, that way, it's not purely cosmetic anymore
delicate saffron
So basically, I can’t if I wanna still play ironman and achievements
hoary geode
Yes
delicate saffron
That’s shitty of them
hoary geode
Not really
delicate saffron
How come you can change the flag but not a portrait then
hoary geode
It's because Sweden has a generic portrait
delicate saffron
It’s crap. Looks nothing like Lindholm
hoary geode
If you, for example, can change Hitler to someone else, it'll work
It's not supposed to look like him
delicate saffron
Why not?
delicate saffron
Yeah but why don’t they just make accurate portraits then?
hoary geode
Paradox just cut some corners on portraits
delicate saffron
The guy for fascist ireland is the same guy for fascist turkey. And asia and south america are a different story entirely
obtuse condor
Would have been easy af for them to just make portraits
hoary geode
Probably
obtuse condor
Just hire mod developers, they’ve already done the job
hoary geode
I can't colourize portraits, so I can't say how easy it is to colourize them
delicate saffron
wtf is benito in 56
obtuse condor
Like that guy who made the performance improvement mod that god merged into the actual base game
Mussolini looks weird because of the angle tbh
delicate saffron
The base game one is fine tbh
obtuse condor
If he was looking forward he would look like normal ol mussi
delicate saffron
But +points for effort
Since playing 56 I’ve never wanted to play base game again tbh lol
delicate saffron
56 literally feels like what the base game should have been tbh
Yeah but the trees are so good.
obtuse condor
Not at all
obtuse condor
A good portion of the non european trees are unbalanced and garbage
Turkey, iran, etc
delicate saffron
Eh. A mod’s a mod
hoary geode
The unbalanceness of 56 shines in Austria
obtuse condor
Plus vanilla kaiser tree is far better than r56 kaiser
hoary geode
The glitchefulness of 56 shines in China
obtuse condor
Oh christ i forgot about austria
delicate saffron
Am I the only one who dislikes Kaiserreich
Like I genuinely dislike that mod and people rave about it
hoary geode
The top dev of the mod I'm working on also dislikes KR
obtuse condor
Look if you want a good game just find a list of rt56 mods that they used for the whole thing and download the balanced ones
We aren’t talking about kaiserreich
And whats wrong with kaiserreich?
delicate saffron
It’s like you get stuck with shit unless you do it at specific times like 10 days into the game
And the premise is very odd
delicate saffron
I play singleplayer
obtuse condor
Then why dont you like it
hoary geode
According to the top dev in the mod I'm working with, 2WK in KR turns into trench warfare.
I still like KR
delicate saffron
The weltkrieg is just always underwhelming
obtuse condor
Personally i like how you can get some obscure and wacky tthings happening based off of difficult to find and follow paths
delicate saffron
Then it’s over before it’s began
delicate saffron
That’s cool yeah but you gotta do really fucking specific shit to get that
obtuse condor
Weltkrieg isn’t where its at m8
delicate saffron
I reloaded the match like 8 times trying to figure out how to get Mosley as a leader
obtuse condor
The war between Reichspakt and Entente is fucking crazy
After syndies are gone shit goes mad
delicate saffron
Yeah but the syndies never fuck off for me
obtuse condor
Usually in 1942-1944 it happens
delicate saffron
I must be doing it all wrong
obtuse condor
They are ez to beat man
delicate saffron
I get so confused and end up boosting radical socialism
Not a very good thing...
obtuse condor
If you get the custom paths mod you can railroad the ai france to declare war on syndie france 2 months into the game and the syndies are gone fast
hoary geode
It's integrated into the base KR now
obtuse condor
Thats my fav way to play because it gives both sides loads of time to buff, because germany always has a french puppet owning the north and a england puppet
delicate saffron
As alt history mods go I like it it’s just the tree system fucks me up loads
obtuse condor
Russia is the best mod in kr tbh
delicate saffron
Like I constantly fuck up what I’m doing and have to follow a tutorial from the start to my desired toal
goal
hoary geode
Argentina is pretty good too
obtuse condor
Yeah
delicate saffron
Also why is america always in civil war
hoary geode
Not knowing what path you'll go a part of the fun in KR
obtuse condor
Fengtian is fun after you have tried to play it 10 times ;(
hoary geode
Well, usually you have a solid idea where you're going
obtuse condor
In fengtian?
hoary geode
But when you don't it's fun
delicate saffron
Yeah but not when you have a path in mind prior to the fuckup
obtuse condor
Pffft
hoary geode
Not Fengtian
obtuse condor
Thats part of the fun man
Things happening when you dont expect it
Its almost like the ai act like the player
delicate saffron
No but most of the time the fuckup is done by me, the player, out of confusion
hoary geode
Just don't play Transamur or the Soviets
obtuse condor
Imagine being 1938 bulgaria and all the sudden romania begins conquering east europe, see what i mean?
delicate saffron
That’s great. For Romania.
hoary geode
Transamur and Soviets are pretty bad
obtuse condor
And make sure to watch transamur’s focus tree if you are playing russia
Them fuckers are always up to something
hoary geode
Well, if you avoid 2RCW, they won't be able to access almost anything in it
hoary geode
I actually have never gotten 2RCW ever
obtuse condor
In real life romania would never have done balkan dominance
hoary geode
I think I somehow accidentally avoided it?
obtuse condor
But in kaiserreich everyone is being crazy, thats what makes it great
What is 2rcw?
hoary geode
2nd Russian Civil War
obtuse condor
Oh ok
Yeah you can avoid it by going with the national populist guy and accepting a few worker’s demands
hoary geode
Savinkov
obtuse condor
At least thats how its been in my experience
Savinkov shows up after the dude i mentioned dies
hoary geode
Oh
obtuse condor
Hes second in command so he takes the control
hoary geode
I forgot about him then
obtuse condor
He dies in like 37
But yeah, kaiserreich is methodical and chaotic all at the same time
hoary geode
Some fun countries in KR
-Japan
-Indochina

-Argentina/Patagonia

rain talon
Hey guys ... ATTENTION PLEASE ....
Is there a way to add fuel to stockpile as we add weapons ... for instance ... infantry_equipment_0 ....
The problem is, I can't find the name for the fuel to add it ...
oak bough
"fuel [<amount>]"
This is a console command though
I think for effects we only know of "set_fuel_ratio"
For example, "set_fuel_ratio = 0.1" would set your stockpiles to 10% full
rain talon
ok, so if my stockpile is 50% full and i use "set_fuel_ratio = 0.1", it will be reduced to 10% ?
hoary geode
Yes
rain talon
hmmm, this wont help ... I am trying to make a mod where minors can trade fuel for weapons ... but since the main function here can not be implemented, I am stuck.
candid vigil
Why tho
Why fuel for weapons
@rain talon
Also you can add decision which removes fuel and adds weapons to stockpile
rain talon
exactly ... but I don't know what is the name of the fuel in the modding part ... thus I can not add or subtract it from stockpile ... I searched the game files a lot, but still can't find it.
candid vigil
Anyway why do you want to trade fuel if its only for mtg
candid vigil
Look into mtg files im sure you will find smth

hey whats up
obtuse condor
i already put the link to the mod
obtuse condor
so I recently got The Road to 56
and I know its supposed to add new events but
sometimes it just says something along the lines of
news.33da. something
everything else seems to be working just fine its just that
hoary geode
That's missing localization.
hoary geode
The events and the localization for them are stored separately, and it's possible that the developers forgot to add the localization to news.33
obtuse condor
its not just that but
its multiple
theres news.45
i havent seen a single new one that isnt like that
yeah i just got news.63.t
ohhhh
i see why
i have other mods on
that should fix it
though i dont think Hitlers Mixtape would have much to do with it...
yeahhh i had a mod that wasnt compatible
but i cant use my old German Reich save with it
mild nova
Anybody know a good zombie mod
reef oxide
So uhh
I made a fantasy map of Europe a while back
And I tried recreating that in hoi4
And it's working pretty well
But I was wondering if there's a mod that lets you transfer the provinces within the state instead of the state entirely
Like transfering Eupen Malmedy apart from Wallonia
hoary geode
You can do that by writing op in console
The effect will wear off pretty soon though
hoary geode
After some days pass in the in-game time, the provinces will go back to their original owners
That's what I meant
hoary geode
And you'll also need to do some tag switching
hoary geode
"tag SOV" in the console
Every country has a 3 letter code, called a tag
SOV is USSR, but you can replace it with, for example, BEL for Belgium or GER for Germany
reef oxide
Interesting
I've been using the state transfer tool
But the in-game state borders don't really line up with the borders in my own map
Is it also possible to change the ruling party with console commands?
hoary geode
Yes
reef oxide
Yay
hoary geode
Set_ruling_party
reef oxide
I'll need some DLC tho
hoary geode
The parties are fascism, neutrality, democratic and communism
hoary geode
Waking the Tiger
reef oxide
👍
hoary geode
Also adds focus trees to China, Communist China, Manchukuo, Chinese warlords (A shared tree) and expands on the Japanese focus tree, adding a democratic and a communist path.
hoary geode
Death or Dishonor
reef oxide
Ah
reef oxide
And Man the Guns only adds naval stuff right?
hoary geode
No
placid token
they should have added a focus tree for turkey/greece/bulgaria
hoary geode
Also focus trees for Netherlands and Mexico, adds new things to British and American trees
hoary geode
You actually don't need to own DLCs to switch ideologies (except maybe to neutrality)
It's just there will not be any focuses for these ideologies
young dirge
MTG is what you buy if you want to burn your money
hoary geode
Tbh, yes, most DLCs for hoi4 have a pretty low amount of content
reef oxide
Lol
hoary geode
The most important one is definitely the Sabaton soundtrack
hoary geode
The most important thing DLC add are the puppet system added by TfV and focus trees
reef oxide
And conquer, then install puppet
hoary geode
Easier way to do that is
Write deleteallunits TAG, nocb and tp in the console, declare war on the country you want to puppet and, well you can win it in less than a hour with tp.
reef oxide
Or just use that mod
hoary geode
Yes
hoary geode
Technically, you can if you mess with the files
reef oxide
Oh
I'd rather not
I'll just buy them anyways
It's a fun game but I suck at it
But it's also fun to make maps
hoary geode
You said you are new to the game, it's fine
I think it's pretty good to make maps with this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756572799
It adds a lot of new states, but it's not really designed for actually playing
reef oxide
Ohhh wow
Nice
I need tons of new states
I used Ukraine for Galicia for example
And Albania for Venice
Thanks for sharing
I think that mod also does the province transfer
At least it looks like it from the screenshots
hoary geode
Which mod?

can I fix it through console command maybe

Somebody make an assassination mod please I don't know how to make mods
hoary geode
What exactly do you mean by an assassination mod?
brave nacelle
like make it a decision where you could decide to send assassins into a country to assassinate the leader a member of their government etc.
to make it more like real life
hoary geode
But who will replace them?
brave nacelle
If it
young dirge
you are aware that leaders do pretty much fucking nothing
brave nacelle
I had an idea for it
hoary geode
And that could easily doom Japan to eternal instability (cough cough, Showa code, +60% stability, cough cough)
hoary geode
that's really going to nerf Japan
young dirge
that's going to straight break japan
hoary geode
Well, at least Neutral or Fascist Japan
young dirge
Democratic keeps his perk, does it not?
brave nacelle
like if it succeeds then it would bring down the stability of the nation by 20% because their leader would be killed
hoary geode
Democratic has +50% through a spirit
Since it's not a leader perk, it can't be gone
Well, without a civil war
Or a mod
brave nacelle
Like if it's a dictatorship like the Nazi's or Stalin then there would be an increase in other party popularity as they just lost the man they saw as a sort of God.
I also had an Idea what the targeted country could do about it
young dirge
I gotta be straight with you fam, your idea is absolutely awful
hoary geode
F to Japan
young dirge
it's just a RNG kneecapping of random nations, that only the player can do
boost popularity and coups are bad enough as it is
it'll either get unused, or be completely abused
and both those eventualities means the mod is trash
hoary geode
either way, China gets a buff by nerfing Japan
young dirge
China doesn't need one
beating japan is easy in singleplayer, and a thing like this would never be considered in multiplayer
hoary geode
This mod is the most beneficial for China either way
young dirge
he he -60% stability
hoary geode
Yes
hoary geode
I am currently making a focus tree for Japan in an another mod
please no kill the chin man
please Japan already starts hella internally broken in my focus tree
brave nacelle
there would be a window that pops up has like 5 options the thing would say like "insert leader here has been assassinated by assassins from insert country here or insert country here " All of these options besides the last one would give you stability and war support. Then first option would be "Blame insert country here" That gets you a war goal on them. Then the second one would be the exact same as the first but with the other country. The next 2 would be "Demand that insert country here demobalizes their army." then that would send a window to what ever country they chose and it would say " insert country here Demands we demobalize our army" then there would be 2 options "accept" and loose 50% of your army. The other option would be "refuse" which would give the country who sent the demand on the country that refused a war goal. The first windows last option would be "we can't risk a war over this" and you would loose stability and popularity in your party.
hoary geode
I am pretty sure it's impossible to make a country lose 50% of its army
brave nacelle
IDK this is just an Idea maybe they would be forced to get rid of a random amount of devisions before insert year month day here
young dirge
jesus christ this is getting worse and worse
hoary geode
Still pretty sure it's impossible
young dirge
Why would an assassination result in demands for demobilization
hoary geode
AI can't even disband divisions
young dirge
Any nation ballsy enough to assassinate another leader wont agree, and any nation that's accused will be acutely aware of the fact that the claim is just a means of justifying invasion, and thus wont agree
brave nacelle
I'm think it could be like if you offer a conditional surrender where you loose a large portion of your army exept like with a pop up window
idk if that machanic is still in hoi4 games today
hoary geode
YOU CAN'T MAKE AN EVENT DISBAND SOME OF YOUR DIVISIONS
It's either all or none
Of course you can make it so a template gets disbanded
But that can circumvented by literally renaming it
brave nacelle
maybe loosing manpower???
hoary geode
That's much more unfair to small countries
brave nacelle
I'm just think we should have this because that is what started world war I
Serbia probably sent the assassins into seriavo and killed the arch duke and his wife
young dirge
There's no proof of that
your idea is hot garbage, flat out
there is no possible way that it could be good
young dirge
go in the absolute opposite direction away from this idea and you'll have a great start
brave nacelle
what about a mod that adds in a way for you to go democratic as the soviet union?
hoary geode
That'll be alright, I think
brave nacelle
maybe lead to the break up of the USSR in the 1930s or 40s
hoary geode
Just make enough content for it
brave nacelle
as I said before IDK how to mod so
hoary geode
Making focus trees is not difficult at all
brave nacelle
really
hoary geode
You just mostly copy from the base game and change some things
Events are a bit harder, but essentially the same rules apply
brave nacelle
maybe there is already a mod for it idk
hoary geode
IMO the hardest parts are making the graphics
brave nacelle
oh
hoary geode
Such as custom focus icons or spirit icons
Of course, you can just use the base game ones
brave nacelle
IDK how to get to the inner workings of hoi4

@hoary geode , the errors in HOI4 are just memes. Most stable and robust multiplayer mods will have over 2K errors. For instance, if you do not want for the USA to be able to go Communist, you can remove two focuses from the tree. Any focuses downstream will therefore not show up and there’s like 3 advisors that can no longer be taken. All of these will generate a plethora of errors but cause no problems.
hoary geode
Yes, I know. There's just a focus reading the description of which causes the entire error log to be filled with "Could not find coloring for character id '1'" errors, which is how I got to that amount of errors.
obtuse condor
Can someone make a mod for me/tell me how to do it myself?

It's probably called rubber, not oil
There's no way to add a resource directly to a country, only a state

You know what would be cool
if in modern 4 or millennium dawn on September 20 2019 1 million soldiers with no equipment would be in all the provinces surrounding area 51 and when it happens you can decided to lead that 1 million soldiers against the US and take them over.
young dirge
Theyd lose cause of no supply and no stats
brave nacelle
IDC it would be fucking cool

Pretty sure it's literally impossible to deal damage without equipment

maybe they would be stupidly fucking fast because of the nauruto runners idk
its more just for the memes
hoary geode
Which country would they belong to though?
brave nacelle
they would create a new country called "The United States of Memers with no purpose"
they would be led by "Pewdiepie"
maybe it would be a mod and the devisions would be OP

Question: I realised while modding, that when i add air equipments "Fighters, cas, etc.." the AI does not use them, and they stay in the stockpile ... only the airwings that were created before the game starts "the default ones" are the ones the AI uses .... Any Idea why or how to fix this ??

Wait what if you made a mod where if you nuke a country where their army is it destroys enemy devisions in the province and all the provinces surrounding it that includes country’s who aren’t involved and your own devisions if the country who isn’t involved get hit by the nuclear radiation they get an event “We have been nuked by country name here” then there would be an option that’s like “this means war” which gives you a war goal on insert country here or “we can’t afford a war right now” which would do nothing
astral crown
seems a bit busted
just nuke the entire army of a country before going to war against them
no resistance at all

Hey guys
Does anyone know how to get into the map generator discord?
I keep getting errors with the current version
I almost got it to work one time but crashed on calculating naval distances
I guess that could be because the land map was slightly different than the other ones
obtuse condor
The maps must match perfectly with eachother to function together

So you all know henry turtledoves war between worlds?
well what about that in hoi4?
glossy salmon
someone has done that already but pretty sure the mod is abandoned so it'd be neat to see it get remade I guess

So the current map generator version works just fine..?
young dirge
Reminder that the nukes in play in hoi4 are the primitive early ones, 20kt firecrackers
Not the 800kt-multi megaton ones we have today
Millenium dawn would be the place for big chungus nukes, but they straight up removed them

Could always download the mod and spruce it up

I've been looking for a mod that prevents an AI from joining factions, despite being at war or not, but all the mods I've found don't work. Does anybody know any mod that works on the newest version?
obtuse condor
Im pretty sure that there is a setting for that
When you're picking your country
Just above the start game button
pearl idol
Is there a way to change the settings once you're in the game? I've made a custom map and can't change game rules, sadly
obtuse condor
I don't think so
Maybe console commands
But I don't mess with those too muc
*much
pearl idol
I don't think there's any console commands for it, maybe save editing?
obtuse condor
Go for it
pearl idol
Issue is: I don't know how
candid vigil
@pearl idol
You want to prevent ai?
Or generaly not allow anyone to join factions
pearl idol
Prevent the AI
young dirge
he needs to cheat to win
pearl idol
If it prevents players too, that's fine
it's for something I'm working on for a fun game with friends
just need to prevent factions from existing
pearl idol
Already have, that's not an option
There's no game rule for creating or joining factions, from what I can see- only leaving them and assuming leadership
candid vigil
@young dirge even if he does, what is your business
young dirge
Cheaters are plebs
pearl idol
I don't think it's your business what I do with my save :/

Like, create a mod for it?

i see alot of "instant war" mods that just reduce the justify time to 0 days and cost 0 power but thats kinda very stupid.
I would love a version though that maybe changes the default justify to them hating you more and more till its justified instead of all at once, as well as adding a new war option called "blitz" or something that costs a shit ton of power and makes everyone around you fear you, and if anyone around liked that nation they will instantly hate your guts because you are a war monger. Maybe only -20 relation if this nation really likes you and REALLY hates the country you are about to fight.
Even be able to do it against your own allies but your whole faction will instantly be at war with you. And be able to declare war on people you have a non aggression pact with but everyone everywhere will hate you and get a national spirit that prevents you from ever making non aggression pacts ever again. Or maybe for like 10 years.

@main rune there should be a mod called "Millenium Dawn Classic (1.7)" it's the millenum before they added taxes and such, but I do belive the creator removed the start navy since it was crashing the ga,e or something along these lines

how makes the BlackICE mod?

@obtuse condor I think you would have to look in game config, and not Albanian file
Or just look up moding tutorial
rich hare
@obtuse condor what you are looking here is the file of albania, their starting state, for the political parties you would have to look at the game file
The diffrence you will be doing in albanian file is changing the party name
But the ideology would have to been made in the game file
That's why keiserreich has about 8 parties per nation
The guy that made it had to name every singe one of them
Individually

So i need to chose a file for a country that has 4 parties ? @Merten#3271

Mapgen doesn't give you any countries or leaders or capitals

I'm still trying to figure that part out

how do I change the leaders name?

It's in the country files in the history folder

Im trying to just make a mod with a bunch of randoms stuff in it for my friends. So im gonna try too make some custom nations in the future and mess around with other stuff

if you're gonna rename countries i recommend notepad++

how do you go about changing portraits
I do the thing where I go to history on the note pad and then I copy and paste the top leader thing and paste it at the bottom and then change the stuff to insert the picture, am I dong it right
ivory zenith
show me a screenshot of what's wrong
obtuse condor
theirs nothing wrong yet, I just want to make sure im doing it correct
ivory zenith
the picture?
ivory zenith
let me have a look
obtuse condor
I copy the top and paste it to the bottom and then change the info in the stuff I just pasted
I mean everything works but I think im just doing stuff I dont have to do
ivory zenith
why do i see conservative 2 times? XD
obtuse condor
Like okay, how do you change the portraits
do you just change the info in the first paragraph
ivory zenith
you mean the little detail words?
obtuse condor
like, you open up the note pad to change the name and picture file thing, right?
actually nvm, I think im just not making any sense
ill just test it out real quick in game
ivory zenith
what may the problem be?
obtuse condor
Ok, so, I just wanted to make sure I wasnt doing stuff that I didnt have to. So im fixing it now
like I was doing some weird thing which I didnt have too
and I probably made no sense at all, but think you for clearing it up for me
ivory zenith
is it showing ''No Commander''?

so watch this video from 4:15 to 5:05
and that is what I was doing
but I wanted to see if I didnt have to do that
