Hello, lads i got a question on How to edit a nations name and flag
hoary geode
@clever zinc https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Country_creation To sum it up, nation's names are stored in localisation. You can create a new file, but it must be called something_l_english.yml (You can replace something with, well, anything), similar to the base game. Flags are in gfx/flags, and must be in either DDS or TGA.
clever zinc
It's to edit a sub-mod for personal use but thanks.

quick question
in ruling party place
do i put fascist
or fascism
reef oxide
fascist
or like the name of the actual fascist party of that country
so for for example The Netherlands it would be the NSB
hoary geode
fascism

ingame its always fascist iirc

i have a question im making a mod for to give belgium a focus tree, and i am wondering what kind of pictures i should take for my mod

well start with the focus tree
don't worry about anything else until the outline of the focus tree is finished, worry about icons, pictures n all that after that's finished

Hi guys you know what would be great
mod that adds middle war period to hoi 4
1920 - 1930 or 1936
that would be fucking great
hoary geode
The Coming Storm?
obtuse condor
When it starts ?
hoary geode
While starting in 1905, it extends to 1933.
There is going to be an interwar start date as well IIRC
obtuse condor
I must check it
ye , i cant find it
1905 starting date seems lame
i mean 1918 - 1936 would be great
much better
hoary geode
I said that there'll be an interwar start date

ive dipped my hands into modding before but never like this

So I'm new to modding and I made a country that takes up Ireland and Northern Ireland however I am running into a problem where I can't spawn divisions or make divisions templates. Can anyone help?
hoary geode
Did you do load_oob in the history file for the country?
hoary geode
Yeah
obtuse condor
I did that
hoary geode
Could you send BAR_1936.txt?
hoary geode
Why is it BAR_1936.txt.txt
hoary geode
It won't
There's a missing bracket
division_template = {} in the beginning is not closed
obtuse condor
hoary geode
I think it should work
hoary geode
Found the error
The first unit has division_template = Infantry-Division", there's a missing "
obtuse condor
Ok
There's still no units spawning when I open the game
And the division template isn't showing up for some reason
hoary geode
It could be case sensitive, try replacing OOB with oob in the history file
Although why would it be case sensitive
hoary geode
Still no template?
obtuse condor
No
But I think I found something
the oob in the country file was BAR_1936.txt
instead of BAR_1936
obtuse condor
I made a focus that adds a national spirit, but for some reason it says a generic name for a politician or something instead of the name that I gave it.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
hoary geode
Did you add the name in localisation?
obtuse condor
No
hoary geode
If the spirit is not in localisation, the game will generate a random name for it
hoary geode
Politicians and spirits are the same thing for the game
obtuse condor
I guess they would be, now that I think about it
So if anything has a wrong name, it's probably something to do with localisation?
hoary geode
Yes
obtuse condor
Good to know
obtuse condor
any good historical mods for the ai?

I have a focus which adds an idea which increases recruitable population but it's not showing up in the national focus effect in the game. Does anyone have a fix?

I've got an idea for a mod
All nations are free
with an extra bit of the base focus tree for choosing staying as is (neutral/democratic), colonizing (neutral/fascist) of spread the revolution (communist)

with land giving division speed and infrastructure construction speed
and sea giving extra naval distance and naval invasion speed

Hello, I´m creating a mod for personal use at the moment and managed to add a few resources (machinery, uranium and titanium) with room for at least 3 more (maybe industrial goods and... got any ideas for good strategically important resources?)

how do i create a country with only one tile and not an entire state?

hoary geode
Sorry, I don't, I prefer text tutorials.
peak tide
OK, you any text tutorials then?
hoary geode
To be honest, this doesn't tell much
Basically, create a new file in history/state, fill it in according to the wiki, don't forget to remove these provinces from states that no longer have them.
Also after that, open the nudge with the mod on and validate buildings. Do not forget to move it from user_directory/map to user_directory/mod/your_mod/map

also attack of the division is higher with high class units in it

hey, im trying to create an alternative history, what if Spain never formed, as Germany too, France and Britain still unformed, well, like a CK2 in HOI4, which countries should have a special focus
pure robin
sounds interesting, how much experience do you have creating/modifying focus trees?
pure robin
that's good, i'd definitely work on what kind of lore/story you want for each region and set that straight before starting any focuses, you wanna make sure it all ties together well
when I made trees, that was my fatal mistake, making a nice tree and then having to either scrap a part of it or rework it all because it didn't fit in well with the narrative or time of the game
teal isle
great!
send you a message and we keep talking about the mod
it will take long
i have to start it
if anyone else wants to help with the mod, contact me

best thing to do when you want to mod, is to start. i don't have enough free time to fully help you develop it but I can help here and there 🙂

Yeah, what exactly are you trying to change?

okay so
I want to make "War with China"
so that you can take it after "Tohokai in Power"
hoary geode
So that Tohokai in Power is a must to get it?
reef oxide
that it's one of the three
hoary geode
Ah
reef oxide
so you need either "War Preparation", "Seperate North China" OR "Tohokai in Power"
I just went into Japan's focus tree code and changed it
but it didnt do anything ingame
ohh wait
I did a typo
wait a sec
hoary geode
When you changed it, were you inside of the game or not?
hoary geode
Ah, you need to write "reload focus" in the console for the change to stick
BUT
All focus trees will be reset, all completed focuses will be uncompleted

thats no problem
also
in the code its called Tokohai
but ingame its Tohokai

How can I add the main picture for a mod on steam workshop ? "thumbnail picture ?" Game is HOI4
I put a picture.png "with 500x500 png formate" in the mod folder along the files and in the .mod file i wrote picture="picture.png"
still not working. I also tried with .jpg
pure robin
you simply just edit the workshop content on the steam workshop itself, you do not need to change anything in the mod files itself for it to appear differently in the workshop
rain talon
where exactly, I looked everywhere !
pure robin
ah apologies, this is the thumbnail, not just adding pictures to it.
for that you have to have a .jpg of your thumbnail in the same folder as the mod and named the exact same as the mod
example: Kaiserreich --> Kaiserreich.jpg
rain talon
I did that, the picture is named as the mod, it's format is jpg and it's written as "mymodname.jpg" It exists in the mod folder which holds all the mods beside my mod
hoary geode
Do you have it in descriptor.mod as well?

I'm making a mod. I was editing the oobs for some of the Balkan countries when I restarted the game. When I got back into the game, for some stupid ass reason, the all of the ideologies for Austria are broken. I have scoured the internet and tried everything that I can. I made sure that the ideology percentages add up to 100. I have triple checked the brackets. I have looked for Austria's tag and name everywhere and it's not anywhere that it's not supposed to be at.

I'm having a weird bug. The game recognizes the variable I set, and knows what I set it to, but when I try to make an element's X position be the same as that variable, that element just disappears.
The most insulting thing about it? It works for a different element with a different variable literally 3 lines lower. It also works if you replace the variable with 178.
So WHY doesn't it work?
anb_score = { # haunted
x = "[?root.anb_position]"
}
anb_score_background = { # not haunted
x = "[?root.anb_background_position]"
}
}
```in scripted GUIs, ``` set_variable = { JAP.anb_background_position = 278 }
set_variable = { JAP.anb_position = 178 }
```in on actions. anb_score is an instantTextboxType, while anb_score_background is iconType, if that'll be useful

there is probably
with events or decision try something like "remove OOB whatever the file name is"

How do set a war to be a civil war at the start?

there’s a command to start civil wars, if that’s what you mean

i mean when I am setting up wars in the code
torn patrol
how do i set my units to "reserve" when im making units in the code
hoary geode
@torn patrol If you mean that you want a war to be a civil war as soon as the game starts, that's impossible. However, you can make a "civil" war, making both sides be separate tags.
Also I'm not sure what you mean by reserve units.
lusty forum
so i’m confused
people have told me that 1.7 mods will work fine with 1.8, but the launcher says otherwise. why/how?

It just thinks they are outdated
I figured out how to do what I was saying with “reserve units” as i did “priority 0”

how do i make my units level set to "green"

so for the event that does the soviet occupation of poland
I want to change a few things
to change the borders like this
and have the name of Poland change to Generalgouvernement if they're a german puppet
same with the event that does the partition of Czechoslovakia
or maybe that just creates two new tags with the light grey colour
hoary geode
For the first, USSR takes one more state, but doesn't take 2?
reef oxide
wut
reef oxide
96, 784, 95, 97, 94. 93
hoary geode
The event where Poland gives states is Poland.3
reef oxide
poland keeps 91, 89, 88, 90, 10 and 92
hoary geode
There's a tooltip in Poland.2 which should be changed as well
reef oxide
poland doesnt reallt give it
I think the best way to change it is the soviet occupation event
and that if germany honors the treaty a new event happens where you can choose if you want the polish puppet
hoary geode
Ah, yes
reef oxide
and on historical germany should honor the treaty AND create the new tag
and the new tag should be called "Generalgouvernement" with cores on 91, 89, 88, 90, 10 and 92
hoary geode
Molotov-Ribbentrop event for Germany where it decides whether to cede Eastern Poland is germany.14

Look up some tutorial on it

sure I guess
hoary geode
I like hoi4 wikia, but it may not be too understandable for beginners and it's text based (Since I don't like video tutorials).
reef oxide
case anton should also happen on historical
and vichy france shouldnt join the war at all
hoary geode
There's not really a way to make Vichy France not join the war
reef oxide
thats true
hoary geode
Didn't play vanilla in quite some time, Case Anton is when Germany annexes Vichy France?
hoary geode
IIRC, it's a decision that's available if Vichy France loses its North African colonies?
Yes, it is
In base game, AI will never do it unless Italy has capitulated
reef oxide
where are the events in the gamefiles?
reef oxide
oo
should I make my thing just an edit in my files
or a mod for everyone to use
@hoary geode whats the event where the USSR asks germany for eastern poland
after the molotov ribbentrop
hoary geode
The event where Germany decides whether to honor Molotov-Ribbentrop or not is germany.14
reef oxide
jesus thats a lot of code
hoary geode
Most of it is just
if = {
limit = {
<state's id> = {
OR = {
is_controlled_by = GER
any_other_country = {
controls_state = <state's id>
is_in_faction_with = GER
GER = { is_faction_leader = yes }
}
}
}
}
SOV = { transfer_state = <state's id> }
}```mhm
how does one create a puppet of someone in the code
or create a new tag
the generalgouvernement tag
hoary geode
Tags need 2 new files and a change in 2 more to work correctly.
reef oxide
o
hoary geode
- Define the tag in the file in common/country_tags
- Define the colour of in a new file in common/countries
- Define the colour of it in colors.txt in common/countries
- Define, well, party popularities, ruling party, war support, etc in history/countries
hoary geode
Some more things that can be done:
- Create flags for it. gfx/flags, gfx/flags/medium and gfx/flags/small.
reef oxide
info is all here
and how does one create a puppet with the code
it needs to be something like
hoary geode
First up, it must be a tag.
reef oxide
liberate the GGM, then turn it into a puppet
like Slovakia in the events
im gonna use ggm as the tag
hoary geode
Puppet GGM with:
-Transfer states to GGM. Like GGM = { transfer_state = 123 transfer_state = 321 } -Set autonomy. GER = { if = { limit = { has_dlc = "Death or Dishonor" } set_autonomy = { target = GGM autonomy_state = autonomy_reichskommissariat } else_if = { limit = { has_dlc = "Together for Victory" } set_autonomy = { target = GGM autonomy = autonomy_integrated_puppet } else = { puppet = GGM } } } } should work.
reef oxide
in the events code
hoary geode
Yes
reef oxide
im sorry to bother you with all this lmao
I just edited the code for the states transferred
whats the 14.a event?
hoary geode
?
hoary geode
These are names for options in germany.14
hoary geode
add_state_core = <state's id>
hoary geode
Did you close GGM = {}
reef oxide
I close it after the line with 92 then right
hoary geode
It feels like the bracket after that line should be closing something else
reef oxide
I need to do the lines in the same fashion as the others
hoary geode
Ah, nevermind
hoary geode
Actually, seems like it was already closed before
Why are there 4 closing brackets in a row?
reef oxide
where
hoary geode
reef oxide
idk
hoary geode
One of them closes GGM = {}
The other option = {}
So the third one closes country_event = {}
hoary geode
It is to give 89 in the base game
limit = {
89 = {
OR = {
is_controlled_by = GER
any_other_country = {
controls_state = 89
is_in_faction_with = GER
GER = { is_faction_leader = yes }
}
}
}
}
SOV = { transfer_state = 89 }
}```They do correspond in the base game
reef oxide
kk
hoary geode
It's possible you have accidentally changed it
reef oxide
yes
im gonna try now
see if the states transfer correctly
fuck yes
Ì need to remove the soviet claims on then tho
how to
its in the russian focus claims on poland
@hoary geode
hoary geode
The focus is in common/national_focus/soviet.txt

tnx
there we go

now time to create the tag
so how do I find the colours of the german reichskommisariats
hoary geode
They are in cosmetic.txt
reef oxide
tnx
hoary geode
Base game German Reichkommisariats aren't their own tags after all
reef oxide
where is that file?
hoary geode
common/countries
hoary geode
Not sure, could be the colour of units if you make the unit colour be based on country
reef oxide
ahh
makes sense
hmm
nah nvm
historical focusses should do the kommissariats earlier tbh
oof I need to add generals

like socialism isnt even ingame
hoary geode
Country leaders need subideologies, not ideologies
Subideologies are listed in common/ideologies
Socialism and stalinism are valid subideologies for communism
hoary geode
This is hoi4. And according to hoi4 rules, socialism and stalinism are subideologies of communism
reef oxide
nice
reef oxide
lol
hoary geode
Not communist
hoary geode
Ok

for the countries thing
because greece is largely generic
how much slots does poland have btw

If you don't want the country to have cores in 1936, just give them cores with add_state_core = <State's ID>
hoary geode
In the event that makes in appear
hoary geode
The same as tramsfer_state
GGM = { add_state_core = 123 }, for example, will give them a core on South-West England

Microsoft notepad is pretty bad
hoary geode
Some popular text editors include Notepad++, Atom and Sublime Text
reef oxide
im gonna try it now
hoary geode
Some of the things you can do with them:
-Search in multiple files
-Opening/Closing brackets are highlighted, making it less likely to accidentally miss one
-You can change the encoding, incorrect encoding may sometimes break hoi4
-Replace in multiple files
-Zoom in and out
-Plugins
etc
hoary geode
Could be a bracket error
hoary geode
Also other text editors have a night theme
hoary geode
Could you send the event?
Please not a picture of it, the code itself
Well, actually
It won't fit
hoary geode
There are quite some things wrong with it
reef oxide
hoary geode
First up, all of this
GER = {
if = {
limit = {
has_dlc = "Death or Dishonor"
}
set_autonomy = {
target = GGM
autonomy_state = autonomy_reichskommissariat
}
else_if = {
limit = {
has_dlc = "Together for Victory"
}
set_autonomy = {
target = GGM
autonomy = autonomy_integrated_puppet
}
else = {
puppet = GGM
}
}
}
}
GGM = {
transfer_state = 91
transfer_state = 89
transfer_state = 88
transfer_state = 90
transfer_state = 10
transfer_state = 92
}
}
GGM = {
add_state_core = 91
add_state_core = 89
add_state_core = 88
add_state_core = 90
add_state_core = 10
add_state_core = 92
}
}``` is outside of option = {}Secondly, GGM = { transfer_state = 91 transfer_state = 89 transfer_state = 88 transfer_state = 90 transfer_state = 10 transfer_state = 92 } } GGM = { add_state_core = 91 add_state_core = 89 add_state_core = 88 add_state_core = 90 add_state_core = 10 add_state_core = 92 } } Both of them have an unnecessary closing bracket.
Are you sure there was nothing in the error log?
reef oxide
idk
hoary geode
Did you open the game in debug mode or not?
hoary geode
Hoi4->Properties->Set Launch Options->"-debug" without quotes
hoary geode
Did you remove the unnecessary brackets?
reef oxide
where are they
hoary geode
Just have GGM = { transfer_state = 91 transfer_state = 89 transfer_state = 88 transfer_state = 90 transfer_state = 10 transfer_state = 92 add_state_core = 91 add_state_core = 89 add_state_core = 88 add_state_core = 90 add_state_core = 10 add_state_core = 92 } instead of GGM = { transfer_state = 91 transfer_state = 89 transfer_state = 88 transfer_state = 90 transfer_state = 10 transfer_state = 92 } } GGM = { add_state_core = 91 add_state_core = 89 add_state_core = 88 add_state_core = 90 add_state_core = 10 add_state_core = 92 } }

}```You didn't add localisation, right?
reef oxide
I didnt
I just created the tag
I think
but the territory didnt transfer to ger and sov
hoary geode
Because that event doesn't give territory to GER

And it gives SOV states if they're either controlled by Germany or a German ally

It can be in any file, but in the base game it's in countries_l_english.yml

how do I open such a file

@hoary geode its fixed
I just need its name to appear on the map

How to add the flag of country of origin next to the equipment... When I use functions like: transfer_equipments/transfer_navy/transfer_ship. ships get transferred without the mini flag (look left). meanwhile "incase of ships" I can only add the mini flag when this country is in exile.
I remember in the past before a certain update, the game used to do this automatically i.e. for licensed/captured equipments. Now it doesn't appear anymore.
median nest
How well did you do in that iran game?
rain talon
no this was just a test, I transfered turkish navy to iran to check if the mini flag will be there ... the subs were from france with the same process.
It doesn't work though, since france isn't really in exile as I just used an event to force it through, so just after 1 hour from the event, the subs return back to france.

i need help with focuses
specifically, how do i make generic focus trees for a specific region, sort of like the warlord focuses in waking the tiger
oak bough
The easiest way would be to just assign the focus tree to all countries in the region by hand, its like 3 seconds of effort per country. This is also how Vanilla Hoi4 does it for waking the tiger. You just add the relevant country TAGs to the focus tree file right at the top.
I suppose you could also write an event that checks whether a given country has land or its capital in a certain region or state, and then have the event give it the relevant focus tree. But that would constantly use up processing power and take way more effort, so I'd just do it the first way
obtuse condor
Does anyone know where Ian find a Unique mod for Bangladesh.

I was looking at the whole Mr.Kims productions series on it

Basically, create a mod through a launcher, and it'll create a folder in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod
What you put in that folder will be added to the game

Its the Focus tree that makes me confused

If a base game file has the same name as the mod file, the mod file will overwrite the base game file

@oak bough It doesn't want to work on the Focus that are directly Mutually Exclusive, anything I can do about that?

There's no way to make it complete mutually exclusive focuses
You'll need to modify the focuses themselves for that
