@obtuse condor with event france.14
nova bough
yes , I know more event commands
ivory zenith
do i have to search up to a site?
nova bough
i dont know if there's a site fore that normaly i look in the gamefiles
ivory zenith
https://hoi4cheats.com/events does this look outdated?
nova bough
mh looks good
hoary geode
It is outdated
There are no WtT and MtG events
I use this https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Events
It misses some, but is a bit better than looking at files
nova bough
yeah but it dosent say all event id's
hoary geode
It does
nova bough
than it says what the "events" france.14.a or france.14.b does? 😁
hoary geode
Well, first up, go to France, go to id 10-20, hover over id until you find France.14, and then france.14.a is the first option, france.14.b is the second option, etc.
There are only 2 options in france.14, but there are some with more.
nova bough
personaly i find the files better ^^
obtuse condor
@nova bough Thanks
obtuse condor
guys what mods do you play with something compatible i been afk from the game over a year
hoary geode
That's inside of the .mod file.
hoary geode
It could be that you accidentally clicked on the clear user registry button
It should create a backup in the user registry
glossy salmon
no never mind I found it
yeah
it did that
so do I just take that file and move it back into the hoi4 mod folder?
hoary geode
Yes
glossy salmon
alright
thx
Oh also, when it comes to making focus trees how do I get the names to stop showing up as things like "POL_internationalism_focus"

if im changing the us democratic flag, what photo do I use, all of them? (by all of them im referring to the four different us democratic flags)
sand raven
Anyone got a list of buildings type names which I can use in my national focus for example Land fort is: 'Bunker' and civilian industry is 'industrial_complex' is there a list somewhere making it so I dont have to root through vanilla trees to find what I need to type in?
I tried the wiki but cant seem to find it, maybe I am blind idk
nova bough
@sand raven infrastructure arms_factory industrial_complex air_base naval_base bunker coastal_bunker dockyard anti_air_building synthetic_refinery fuel_silo radar_station nuclear_reactor
i hope the names explain itself
@obtuse condor i think the game changes the flag after some decisions, you should change all 4

Thanks mate that really helps

Guess my biggest pet peeve with Road to 56 would be the fact that Italy takes France when you go historical... because Germany takes way longer to start the attack on France and because the French are such pushovers in the south for whatever reason...

Is anyone else here making Novum Vexillum sub mods or am I the only one here doing it? Currently making a focus tree for north Korea and fleshing it out more as a submod for Novum Vexillum

Is NV even worth playing yet?

Well its millennium dawn classic (updated with the help of the original MD team apparently) with extra features and has just gotten updated yesterday again. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1827273767 I prefer it to the new MD and the classic release since this one is being actively updated.
obtuse condor
Oh I see. I thought it was another oprn beta modern mod
sand raven
Fair enough lol well anyways it's a decent mod atleast saves me from having to play the new MD with all the money and debt and shit. Just ain't my cup of tea.
green turret
guys I really need some help
how do you assign provinces to a continent?
I see continents .txt but it doesn't show anywhere how exactly to group provinces to the continents
nevermind, I found it
Also
the game crashes if the whole world is not covered by strategic regions?
I fixed that part but I'm still crashing because of no population or state category
green turret
ok so I'm crashing but the only errors I have are
[03:30:19][triggerimplementation.cpp:4107]: Invalid focus scripted in trigger. has_completed_focus = USA_suspend_the_presecution (Error in trigger:has_completed_focus)

which is present in the blank map utility mod but it doesn't crash that
I get this in the exception log though

nova bough
@green turret can you give me the mod than i can try to help you
green turret
sure
here it is
@nova bough
I was thinking maybe it had something to do with the lack of localization
or something
hoary geode
No, that shouldn't cause it
green turret
since the blank map utility doesn't have a path
hoary geode
Lack of localisation doesn't crash the game usually
green turret
Well something is making it crash
nova bough
erors in the loc maybe ...
green turret
I think it had to do with the placement of the victory point/name
since I didn't change that from the blank map
and my map is totally different
any help would be appreciated
nova bough
can you send the MOD file to?
nova bough
the map looks pretty if the mod dont overrite the vanilla files ^^
green turret
the terrain is a placeholder
I'm just trying to get the map to work in the first place
nova bough
i men its full of collors from the vanilla nations
nova bough
yes but i startet withaout your mod file so it dosent replaced all vanilla files ^^
nova bough
i createt one ^^
nova bough
of the mod file?
nova bough
wait
green turret
ok
nova bough
green turret
lolll
do you like the map?
at least the continents
the terrain needs to be fixed yeah
nova bough
better than the one i'm creating for eu4 ^^
green turret
the two large lakes can have naval invasions
nova bough
i hope the ai dont build their fleet in there ^^
green turret
that is a possibility
but this is a multiplayer focused mod
anyways, did you see the error yet?
if you used the mod file I sent
nova bough
as olways tje log dont say anyting , but it looks like the game trys to load vanilla files
green turret
what exactly is making it crash though?
the blank map utility mod loads up fine
but when I was replacing the files with my map and states and stuff it started crashing
nova bough
i think one problem is that the test nation isnt on the map
green turret
I have two states set to tst
state 1 and 2
however
I think the syntax for the victory point may be wrong
in state 2
nova bough
could be
green turret
can you check?
nova bough
i reduced the mod file to :name="!TotalMapmod"
path="mod/TotalMapmod"
replace_path="map/strategicregions"
replace_path="map/supplyareas"
replace_path="map/terrain"
tags={
"Military"
"Alternative History"
}
supported_version="1.7.*"
than it dont crasch but the vanilla nations are there
so it must be a problem with the mod nations i think
green turret
so you think it's just the tst nation that is screwing it up?
nova bough
yes
green turret
oh wait
you have to rename the rar to "Totalmap"
without the mod
and use the original mod file I gave you
nova bough
nono the mod is active ^^
i chaned it form zip to a normal folder so i can edid it better
green turret
oh
if you unzip nothing works
it has to be in the rar
for some reason
at least that is what I noticed when I was trying to edit it outside the zip
I think
nova bough
archive="[..]/TotalMap.zip"
was your s
path="mod/TotalMapmod"
thats mine
the folder you gave me s called TotalMapmod so i renamed it
YES fund the problem!!!!!!!
nova bough
why it crashed
green turret
what was it
nova bough
4# are the problem ^^
green turret
4 what?
nova bough
green turret
I don't know where or what that is in relation to the game or files
nova bough
means ignore waht comes after it
ups
somthing was send to another channel i think ^^

hi, just wanted to know, if I wanted to create a Kaiserreich-like mod (I mean, of a similar scale, with re-mapping the countries, events, decisions, focus trees, but without all those extra mechanics), how hard is it to get into?
I mean I have no experience in modding hoi4 whatsoever, so if I wanted to start from scratch, how hard would it be to do anything?
hoary geode
It can be difficult to create a mod of that scale, you could try doing a mod that focuses on one specific country first to get a feel for it.
tawny nova
well, I've got plenty of time and willingness to see everything crash and burn
where I can learn to mod? are there any good comprehensive guides?
again, not afraid of doorstoppers
hoary geode
I personally use the hoi4 wiki but some people have began with some youtube videos
Hoi4 modding is mostly copying files from the base game and changing some things
tawny nova
I'll look into it, thanks
sand raven
I am currently making a industry focus tree for north korea does anyone have any good constructive feedback or any recommedations for what else i should add to the tree?
After this i need to do the political tree and equipment branch and the airforce branch
obtuse condor
Strike the south should probably be in the political branch
And you should add dockyard focuses unless that’s in the naval branch
sand raven
I have improved it since then, this is what I have so far
Will be making the political branch after final checks for the industry one
and play testing most of it
Also I agreed that strike the south and shit should be in political tree it was there because I had no ideas what I wanted there but thanks to you I made it so they could build a port in wonsan since there were no ports there near the DMZ
I decided to reduce the amount factories in my tree as well, since there was just too many scattered everywhere for a minor nation like the DPRK and I just made it into sections: Resources, Factories and Defence and infrastructure
obtuse condor
Ok cool
ivory zenith

coral wolf
Is it difficult to mod?
coral wolf
@sand raven What software did you use to create the focus tree as shown in your second latest picture?
nova bough
@coral wolf it depends on what you want do do in the mod
coral wolf
Focus tree, modifiers
nova bough
modifires are easy, focus tree i cant say
coral wolf
i have already ran into problems
nova bough
expalin problems
coral wolf
i don't know how to open my modding software
hoary geode
I personally use just notepad++ to create focus trees
hoary geode
I use it to edit everything other than GFX
coral wolf
gfx?
hoary geode
Graphics
You know, icons for spirits, event pictures, focus icons, leader pictures, etc
Oh, and also music, but I don't mod music and, well, notepad++ is just a text editing software
Well, there's actually a lot more than text editing, but that's in map editing, and I don't really know how to map edit, but I think the nudger (Inside of the game when you open it in debug mode) and an image editing program are useful for that, and, well, a text editing program for some other editing are required.
nova bough

sand raven
@coral wolf sorry for very late reply but the tool I used was Focus Tree Manager I basically use it for creating the localisation and the basic structure of my tree (meaning I don't bother putting in completion_rewards or anything like that it's just the ID and GFX I then put it in my mod and load it in hoi4 debug mode I then start to enter in all of the rewards and available values since hoi4 in debug mode automatically refreshes the focus tree when you save your focus tree txt file. If your gfx doesn't come up then check the hearts of iron 4 folder in the interface folder then check the gfx.cfg or goals.gfx. if you are making a submod you will need to extract the major Mods files and do the same that way instead of using vanilla as sometimes it doesn't work. I could be wrong on most of this since I arent at my computer but that's the jist of it
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Commands @obtuse condor air it's add_manpower you need to set the scope to the state you want there are other ways of doing it but just use the wiki for the commands and stuff it's really useful.
obtuse condor
how do i do commands?
oh i see
nice cheats
xD
what about stabillity?
@sand raven
sand raven
You put it under the completion_rewards in focus tree or nation spirit. Stability I think is just add_stability. Just check the wiki mate saves you a lot of time.
Ah my mistake it's factor_stability
https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers it's in the modifiers section under the waking the tiger update.

how do i set a nation as a puppet in the text?
hoary geode
So it becomes a puppet through, say, a focus or an event?
ivory zenith
no i meant in notepad++
ivory zenith
in the base game with dlc australia is a dominion right?
hoary geode
Yes, but only with TfV
hoary geode
For example:
if = {
limit = {
OR = {
has_dlc = "Together for Victory"
has_dlc = "Man the Guns"
}
}
set_autonomy = {
target = MAL
autonomous_state = autonomy_integrated_puppet
}
else = {
puppet = MAL
}
}
}```Does the focus/event/decision not work?
ivory zenith
no leader missing
hoary geode
Huh, you could create a leader then.
ivory zenith
already did XD
hoary geode
Yeah, the game is kind of weird around subjects and their leaders.
ivory zenith
testing now once again
hoary geode
Make sure the new leader is created after the puppeting.

how do you move the continuous focus position?
i remember it was something near the top of one of the focus trees
hoary geode
It is
fallen otter
but right now I cant really find it
hoary geode
"continuous_focus_position = { x = 1500 y = 700 }"
fallen otter
where exactly do you put it
obtuse condor
press `
hoary geode
Before the focuses
fallen otter
because all of the vanilla focus trees begin like this
wtf it removes it
focus_tree = {
id = soviet_focus
country = {
factor = 0
and so on
i cant put more because it removes it
hoary geode
Do you mean like
id = japan_wtt_focus
country = {
factor = 0
modifier = {
add = 20
tag = JAP
}
}
default = no
continuous_focus_position = { x = 20 y = 1200 }```Some focus tree don't have it so it defaults to somewhere

My DPRK mod is coming a long pretty well. I got all of focuses for the industry tree made and a crippling starting spirit.

I am having issues with adding a custom national spirit icon into the game it doesnt seem to load at all whilst my custom focuses seem to be working fine. Here is an image of my folders with annotations.
Any help would be appreciated just @ me if you respond
sand raven
Whilst I wait to figure out how to solve my national spirits problem I am starting to create the juche political branch for my tree this is one of my structure ideas so far. if anyone has any alternative structure ideas for my DPRK focus tree feel free to tell me it has to be cut into 3 sections however like above: Trade and relations, Cult of personality and propoganda and finally Unification of korea branch

@sand raven try it with SpriteType = {
name = "GFX_room_39"
texturefile = "gfx/interface/ideas/PRK/spy.dds"
}
but i dont know realy why this happens in my custom focus tree some pics disappear and appear again ^^
hoary geode
You didn't add a shine
nova bough
then they would only disappear if you select them or?
hoary geode
They wouldn't disappear with the shine.
sand raven
I seem to have fixed it now and you are right thats partially what you do turns out I forgot to add " GFX_ideas_room_39" and only have room_39 in the name section in the txt file. Seem that 'GFX_ideas' is a scope for the game to figure out what kind of graphic it is since ideas has not just national spirits but advisors and all that. Yeah that was really annoying to deal with thanks to a few people and yourself I managed to fix it. I thought it would be the same as making focus icons but nope it was a little more irritating lol since for focuses you don't need to put GFX_focus unless you want to as it will work without it just fine.

should "active" be set to yes or no

Does the tooltip say that Germany guarantees USA?

When hovering over an option in an event, what it says it does is a tooltip

USA and Germany start in the same faction
But the US always leaves
I tried increased monarchist acceptance
hoary geode
You can add this
type = alliance
id = GER
value = 200
}```Where exactly
hoary geode
Create a file called something like mod_USA.txt or copy USA.txt in common/ai_strategies
And then add something like
enable = {
tag = USA
}
abort = {
}
ai_strategy = {
type = alliance
id = "GER"
value = 200
}
}```Wait hold up what
hoary geode
What don't you understand?
fallen otter
Wait wait wait
I think that might be it
the US ai might have something against germany in that file
Ill check
hoary geode
No, it doesn't
fallen otter
It doesnt..?
I will add it then
But why the f would it always leave
I bumped up monarchist acceptance to 1500 and it still leaves
hoary geode
When trying to invite USA into faction as Germany, what does it say?
It won't accept because of "strategic reasons"?
fallen otter
Because I bumped up monarchist acceptance
Even tho it will accept to join
It leaves at the start
Always
hoary geode
Yeah, I think it just doesn't want to be in alliance, but wants to join
I don't think monarchist acceptance would do anything there
hoary geode
Nice

for( let count = 0; count < 10; count++)
{
console.log(count)
}
or do I just have that wrong lol

idk if there should be a space in between for( and let
also ; at the end of
console.log(count)
@forest rock
elder root
(you tried adding the semi colon?)
forest rock
yep
elder root
I will send it to my smarter friends lol
apparently (according to said smarter friends), nothing is wrong with it
actually
try not declaring 'count' above
elder root
tbh I dont know for loops too well, try using a while loop
int count = 0;
while (count < 0;) {
count = count + 1
}
return count;
try that @forest rock
hazy flint
wait are you seriously asking us to do your basic bitch programming homework for you
ok so, I'm not sure what language this is but you seem to be declaring count twice
not sure if you meant to make it an int or not, but assuming not
see, you have only declared the second count within the for loop
when you exit that for loop the value of count that you were incementing is not accessed, that variable only exists within the loop, so it returns 0
change the counts in the for loop condition to something like i
you should have
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
count++;
}
return count;```and adjust for whatever language you're using@forest rock

What is the difference between Millennium Dawn Classic & the "current" Millennium Dawn?
All I've been able to find out is something about decisions & political system (some national focus too?) but that's it - no specifics in any way
obtuse condor
Can you point to a video, article or whatever that has some specifics?
The merge, is that with Modern Warfare 4?
hoary geode
This introduced a lot of mechanics, which made map-painting much harder
obtuse condor
Is the merge with Modern Wafare 4? It crashes on launch
hoary geode
Some of the mechanics include
-GDP, now your country can go into debt
-The buggy influence system, you can make a nation a puppet diplomatically for the cost of your pp
-Tech tree overhaul, with no more industry tech
-Several micronations were removed to reduce lag and needed content
-Several focus trees were removed due to not being compatible anymore
-New generic focus tree and Brazilian focus tree
-Some civil wars not in Classic have been added
obtuse condor
Spimds good. All for the better I'd say. But apprently there are some changes people are quite unhappy with. But it's not those
Like I said, all I've been able to find out is something about decisions & political system (some national focus too?) but that's it - no specifics in any way.
hoary geode
Yeah, the new political system is the main disliking
It's way too realistic, having an army actually costs something, and it costs a lot of pp to change an idea so you can actually justify
It's much harder to actually invade countries.
obtuse condor
orh crap.. I would love to know why they'd do that, but there's prop not a solid answer
rich hare
personally I don't like it
I don't think that hoi4 should revolve around economy

No, it should not. Not in that aspect at least. You have to be plenty, plenty patience with any kind of war in MD in the first case anyway

Millenium Dawn Chaos was a pretty popular mod
Good news, it still works with Millenium Dawn Classic
obtuse condor
really?? I have it but it requires the new MD. Ok, download "new" MD, download Classic too but not activate the new & then it works?
Hearts of Iron is about war. No fun as a political simulator, that's why I gave up on it quite quickly in the first place
hoary geode
Millenium Dawn classic doesn't require new Millenium Dawn
It's likely put there to advertise the new MD
obtuse condor
I know but the Chaos mod does
hoary geode
Ahh
Chaos works with Classic, you don't need new MD
It's likely remnants, since MD Chaos not updated to 1.7 yet (But it still works perfectly on MD Classic)
obtuse condor
I know but I have to subscribe to it at least.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131061750&searchtext=Millennium+Dawn
But just sub new MD, not activate & everything is good, yes?
hoary geode
You don't need to sub to new MD to sub to Chaos
obtuse condor
Can't sub to one when it has a required item
hoary geode
I don't think required items prevent you from subscribing
obtuse condor
ohhh, no wait!
There was a link
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1293066839 Says it's for Classic.
But when you click sub on a mod that has a required file it says "Additional required items"
hoary geode
The link is for Vanilla hoi4
obtuse condor
So it is! Well, that's kinda embarrassing, got caught up in the moment.
hoary geode
When I click on the subscribe button for Chaos after unsubscribing from new MD, I do get a window that MD is requi red
BUT
I can just click the continue button and it'll subscribe

Indeed, it mostly makes AI more agressive

is there a mod that lets you play as shanghai
viscid hedge
tardy tusk
does anyone know of a mod that lets you unlock leader traits instead of having to pray for a rare event to be able to assign traits to them?
because like even when i get a general up to like level 6-7 i'll be lucky if i've gotten the event for a single branch to be able to add traits
tardy tusk
trait slots are
hazy flint
no traits are
like mountaineer, infantry expert
when you fight in mountains you get mountaineer
tardy tusk
last game i played i had erwin rommel level 7 and no extra traits unlocked
hazy flint
when you fight with tanks you get panzer expert
when you do lots of naval invasion you get invader
it's not random at all
and it's not tied to leader level either
hover over a trait and the tooltip will show you how close you are to getting it
tardy tusk
it feels extremely random considering i've invaded switzerland before and not gotten mountaineer but gotten it from exercising troops in brandenburg
not mountaineers either, 14/4 divisions
hazy flint
it's based on time spent in battle, not success in those battles
and the more troops in battle at once under one general, the faster you gain the trait
so if you attack with one division into mountains you'll gain 1/24th of the xp you'd get attacking into mountains with 24 divisions
before MTG, it was important to grind out traits for each general, but paradox decided the meta was getting too centralized around doing this so they greatly reduced the rate at which you gain traits
you will generally only get one if you are trying to get one with a particular general
unless it's something like infantry or panzer expert
valid osprey
@obtuse condor if you need any help then i can maybe.
tawny nova
out of curiosity- how hard is it to create a mod on a scale of Kaiserreich?
honestly speaking
possibly involving some map restructuring to boot
and I don't mean adjusting the borders but changing up provinces and adding new landmasses
oak bough
On your own? Even if you work on it full-time and quit your normal job, it'll probably take at least a year or two
tawny nova
hmm
is it really so hard to implement focus trees and events?
I mean if one already has it all figured out on paper
and maybe Kaiserreich scale is too generous, it's only for content for 20+ countries or so
and how big is the mod team of KR, by the way?
oak bough
I th ink the core is around 5-7 people, with 20 or so contributors
and well if you go for a bit smaller scale itll still take you a few months probably
tawny nova

You can create a testing event that only triggers it

I dont want a mod
jsut a console command
I did set_flag hindenburg_survives to 1
is that good?

So I checked out things
There is "set_country_flag [<Country Flag>]"
It COULD work with global flags, but I'm not sure

hey I have a pretty good idea for a mod if anyone thinks its good: better peace deals
So pretty much the idea is that like in real life, you cant annex the entire nation if you win a war against it.
My idea is that you cant pass to get extra war score, and that at the end of the war you will only have enough war score to take 1 or 2 states.
Maybe depending on ideology, war support or something else you get more or less war score.
You can take parts of their navy, and maybe somehow limit their economy - give them a 5% consumer good debuf, while you get a -5% consumer goods buff or something like that.
hoary geode
No, WW2 was total war
If you take a look at all wars covered y hoi4, almost all of them were total wars
2nd Italo-Ethiopian war, 2nd Sino-Japanese war, WW2, British invasions of Iraq and Iceland, etc
The only exception I can think of is the winter war, and there are white peace events.
Results of WW2 can be technically replicated (Well, not actually, for example, the free city of Trieste doesn't exist, and AI never gives Eritrea to Ethiopia) by AI
