does anybody know what I need to do to change countries names to a cusotm name?
tiny glacier
yes, but that is gonna be one hell of a long list for you
obtuse condor
Can you help me?
hoary geode
It's not a long list.
If you want to change it from the beginning, change localisation/countries_l_english.yml
It can be in any localisation file actually
If not from the start, then put set_cosmetic_tag = somethingwhen you want it changed and then put something_ideology:0 "Something" in localisation. In base game it's countries_cosmetic_l_english.yml.
obtuse condor
how?
obtuse condor
Will it allow me to change the names of countries
honest geyser
no but will help with flags
obtuse condor
Is there somebody that can produce a mod for me?

making an entire mod with one person is pretty much a herculean task

hello
i want to delete manpower for all nations 1m
I made a country event will it decrease manpower for me only or everycountry gets the evnet
hoary geode
add_manpower = -1000000
}```Well, you could create a major event (major = yes is not compatible with fire_only_once = yes, just in case) that gets fired with the option having an effect of add_manpower = -1000000
hoary geode
Major events happen to everyone
hoary geode
Yes
honest geyser
alright
hoary geode
Country event which is major
honest geyser
date > 1949.1.1 will trigger the event on the exact date
I wanted it to start at the start of the game but It didn't
hoary geode
Nope, it will not
honest geyser
I dont understand why
hoary geode
Triggers for events are checked only every 20 days
The only way to make it start at a certain date is to use the on_startup on action.
honest geyser
trigger = {
on_startup
}?
honest geyser
@hoary geode I did this but now it wont do the effects the event does
hoary geode
The event fires, but there are no effects?
hoary geode
So the event has major = yes and doesn't have fire_only_once = yes, and it's triggered only and the effects are in option = {}?
honest geyser
@hoary geode
hoary geode
Why does it have trigger = { on_startup }
Also you didn't close every_country = {} in the on_actions
honest geyser
wdym what do i have it as
hoary geode
Why does the event have trigger = { on_startup }?
hoary geode
on_startup = {
effect = {
every_country = {
country_event = {
id = eventsz.1 }
}
}
}```If you fix formatting, it becomes
on_startup = {
effect = {
every_country = {
country_event = {
id = eventsz.1
}
}
}
}```id = eventsz.1 }
hoary geode
There are 4 closing brackets and 5 opening brackets
hoary geode
on_startup = { # Opening bracket 2
effect = { # Opening bracket 3
every_country = { # Opening bracket 4
country_event = { # Opening bracket 5
id = eventsz.1 } # Closing bracket 1
} # Closing bracket 2
} # Closing bracket 3
} # Closing bracket 4```I marked each bracket, there is one unclosed bracket

hey so the mod im working on keeps crashing on the loading screen and idk why. I've gotten rid of all the errors, and even moved it to a new mod file and im still experiencing crashes
its really frustrating
stark gyro
Could it be the Computer your using? Or possibly HOI4 itself?
I would suggest uninstalling & reinstalling HOI4 every now and again, that seems to fix a lot of problems.
hoary geode
Error log usually doesn't have errors that crash
You haven't given enough info
Like what's in exception.txt in the crash file in the most recent Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/crashes/hoi_<number> folder. It usually helps to narrow down the crash
Or what files were changed in the mod
Or on which part of the loading screen it crashes exactly.
If you're using Mapgen, it's outdated, every sea and lake province must be in strategic regions in order to make the game not crash.

HoI4 is a simple game to mod
hoary geode
Tech modding, recently discussed, is a more complicated part of hoi4 modding.
hoary geode
Well, you don't need to know much to create, for example, a simple focus tree.
hoary geode
Most of the time, you're just ripping off from the base game or other mods.
obtuse condor
Yeah
hoary geode
Hey, you can complicate stuff and create, for example, a scripted GUI to complement the focus tree. Creating scripted GUI will definitely not turn anyone from modding at all with its relative complexity.
obtuse condor
Scripted gui?
hoary geode
An another relatively complex part of modding. Say, you want to create a button that does something when pressed. That's scripted GUI
obtuse condor
I see
Ive tried to make a mod before
Then got to the focus tree
And decided that it looked hellah teedious
hoary geode
I created a whole menu full of buttons and an element that moves depending on value of a variable and now I can't get to make the AI do what I want it to do
Well, once again, focus trees are mostly ctrl+c and ctrl+v
Tutorials on the wikia are not intuitive, but they are full of info.

Looking at vanilla files is also a good way to learn.

im working on Iran now, i start with larger nations that are forgotten or like brazil, that the vanilla game gives a ridculous amount of steel (brazil is like the 2nd or 3rd largest productor of steel, and was already producing a lot of steel on 1936) so i gave a bunch more steel to brazil (its still weaker than most majors thou)
sorry my english, its not 100% im from brazil 😄
i take the job to do this brazil mod since i realised most of brazil mods out there are pretty lamme
i also do mods for Sims 4, model on blender, textures on photoshop, and i did mods for other games too

I’m trying to make a mod that adds a focus to the UK and USA
The problem is idk how
Mostly
torn patrol
Just get a better visualization program and look at the base game files
If you need to look up tutorials
grand swift
@torn patrol the problem is i need a list of what I need like “what do I use if I want this to happen” and there are no lists that I can find anywhere
torn patrol
What exactly do you need to happen
If you want an event focus I’d recommend looking into making events first
grand swift
how do do I make a focus require a country to exist, be at war with the country doing the focus, and have a certain state be under the control of the country doing the focus
hoary geode
has_war_with = <TAG>
controls_state = <state's ID>
}```Ok now what about the fact that the county has to exist, or does the has_war_with thing already cover it?
hoary geode
You can't be at war with a country that does not exist
hoary geode
It makes the focus's position be relative to the focus specified there instead of the top-left corner.
If you ever scrap some focuses, this may make it faster to move the focuses.
grand swift
Ok
I think I have everything I need for this focus
Almost
Still need to do the decision tied to it
hoary geode
Making a state be demilitarised does nothing in this case, as demilitarised states are automatically militarised when the country that owns them is at war.
hoary geode
No
hoary geode
Impassables are set in the beginning of the game.

@grand swift Alright, so you know the thing vanilla netherlands has with the "flooding the canal lines" that adds water modifier to provinces?
You could do something like that - have a decision, hidden event, whatever - give all provinces in the state a province modifiers that modifies division speed by -1000%
molten apex
grand swift
@oak bough A) can this work for a national focus and B) how do I put that in?
@oak bough actually better question, is there a list on every province modifier
And is there a way to mod in new modifiers?
oak bough
@grand swift It can work on anything that can output an effect, be it a focus, event, decision, whatever
And yes, you can add in new modifiers. You can find and add them in common/modifiers/00_static_modifiers.txt
Those bits of code are what you're looking for. Just define a new effect somewhere in this area

How do you make the button you press to dismiss a new event have different text depending on the country?
hoary geode
Create different options which have triggers that depend on your tag
For example
id = news.1
title = news.1.t
desc = news.1.d
picture = GFX_news_event_001
major = yes
is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
name = news.1.a
trigger = {
NOT = {
TAG = JAP
TAG = CHI
}
}
}
option = {
name = news.1.b
trigger = { TAG = JAP }
}
option = {
name = news.1.c
trigger = { TAG = CHI }
}
}```Ok

Hi everyone seeing this ad, name's USABall and I have a offer to any developers who there who are out of a modding job or they want to help others more due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Man in the High Castle, one of the most historical mod topics of HOI4, that topic is having a new mod. A new mod directed by me and a team of developers. Due to recent tragic events, we lost our first version and now, we are rebuilding ourselves to make sure when this new version is released, that it is more better than any other MITHC mod before. We lost some devs during these events and that is why I am reopening development applications.
We strive to make a mod based off the popular book and series on Amazon Prime. A mod where people will once feel the happiness and enjoyment they have all been wanting out of the Man in the High Castle. A mold filled with so much content that it's in depth.
This mod, you may think, may turn out as a failure. Well, anyone can achieve anything if they try hard enough. I have the time and effort to put into the MITHC mod. I hope some do if they choose to apply.
I encourage you to apply today! Help us make a Man in the High Castle mod for the HOI4 community!

Alright here's the concept.
A world in which the American revolution involved not only the US but Canada as a joint North America; they swiftly win with the French Canadians having some of the biggest impacts of the war. This new America is called Freedonia. Texas becomes independent during the Texas Revolution due to massive support from Freedonia, but because of this doesn't require the financial aide it did in real life and remains independent. After years of strife between the South, Canada (specifically French Canadians), and the Union a civil war breaks out in the US. French Canada and the Confederacy create an alliance and defeat the Union in 1862; the Union becomes very bitter at this massive loss. Meanwhile in Europe the German Empire is on its way to formation, a massive Hungarian revolt inspired by the CSA in the Freedonian civil war results in the collapse of the Austrian Empire in 1868. Austria, in an act of final desperation to retain what little control it has, intervenes in the Franco-Prussian war resulting in a Franco-Austrian victory. German declares its empire regardless of its loss, but consists of only the North German states. Austria rallies the South German states, and creates the Southern Empire as a vassal state.
rose jay
Russia loses the Crimean war, and is forced to free a small part of Ukraine but they hold onto Alaska, and soon discovered oil. Japan manifests its empire across the Pacific, and reaches all the way to Hawaii where it leaves the Kingdom of Hawaii as a vassal state. The CSA expands into Mexico, and goes to war with Spain in order to conquer Cuba. Freedonia expands west all the way to the west coast. Japan does its thing in China, but after swiftly defeating a combined Chinese and Russian coalition in the Russo-Japanese War and conquers all of Korea and Manchukuo. It defeats the French navy in 1910, and takes French Indochina. The Balkan wars still happen, and Italy forms in 1860 and takes Libya from the Ottomans.
In 1912 a Freedonian ambassador to the UK is shot in Ottawa by a Canadian nationalist (Freedonia still owns most non-French speaking parts of Canada such as Newfoundland, Labrador, and Ottawa). This reignites the tension between their two states. In 1915 a Ukrainian nationalist organization assassinates Tsar Nicholas II, and the Russian Empire attempts to use this as an excuse to re-annex Ukraine. Ukraine declines, is backed by Germany, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (Triple Alliance) while Russia is backed by France, Austria, and the Southern Empire (Entente). War breaks out, and Germany begins to plunge deep into the heart of Austria with the support of the Ottomans. Hungary, who is in a desperate defense situation, pleads to the UK to join the war, and after the French move through neutral Belgium and into Germany, decides to join on the Side of Germany, Ottomans, and Hungary. The Balkan nations are guaranteed their territorial requests by Russia, and join on behalf of the Entente. Italy is guaranteed its territory from Austria by Germany, and joins the Triple Alliance.
rose jay
North America has remained quiet during the course of the Great War, and the war in Europe has remained mostly a stalemate with the exception of the Ottoman's loosing ground in Europe. Ukrainian nationalists begin to riot across the southern portions of the Russian Empire, and Russia begins to loose ground. A coup in Bulgaria instates a Triple Alliance friendly government, and they drop out of the war, but hold onto territory gained from the Ottoman Empire. In Richmond, a bomb goes off outside the capital building killing and injuring hundreds. The deed is blamed on Freedonia, who quickly mobilizes their troops. War breaks out between the CSA and Freedonia, and the Freedonians quickly breakthrough the CSA's line and capture Richmond. In response the CSA calls upon French Canadia, who refuses to come to their aid. In europe, a combined German, Italian, and Hungarian offensive reaches the Capital of the Austrian Empire who capitulates in August of 1918. The Southern Empire declares its independence from Austria, but refuses to join the German Empire who proceeds to invade again. In Croatia, Transylvania, Slovakia, and Southern Hungary, riots from the minorities who live there break out. The Hungarian government guarantees Serbian and Romanian independence, but swiftly crush any Slovakian revolts. With the fall of the Austrian Empire, many German forces relocate to the Eastern Front, and drive Russian forces back into Estonia. The Germans guarantee independence for the Baltic states, and with new Baltic recruits begin to push towards St. Petersburg. Vladimir Lenin is moving from Switzerland to the Russian Empire, but is shot but German agents. Trotsky takes up the lead of the Bolshevik Party in Russia, and begins to move the country towards a revolution. After months of planning and gathering, a small revolution breaks out in Moscow, and the USSR is declared. It is quickly crushed, angering many workers in Moscow.
Japan seizes the opportunity of Russian instability, and invades in the far east and Alaska. Russia, fearing complete collapse from both within and out declares a ceasefire with the Triple Alliance, and sits down with German leaders to discuss the treaty of Brest-Litovsk. On the Western front the French and South Germans hold strong, but with the capitulation of Russia, and the British blockade, end the war with essentially white peace. WW1 is over in 1920
Meanwhile in the America's (1916) the CSA mobilizes its army to defend against the invading Freedonia. Mexico, which had been a protectorate of the CSA breaks free, and is declared war on by Texas. Though Freedonia captures Richmond (as stated before) the war devolves into a stalemate. The CSA and Freedonia both attempt to sway Texas and French Canadia to their side in the conflict though neither budges. Freedonia seeks outside support, and joins the Triple Alliance, brining the UK into the American conflict.
UK blockades on the CSA slowly wear out its military and civilian capabilities, and with mass famine and little gains, the nation nearly collapses in 1919, but manages to hold on until 1920 when it joins France in signing white peace. This outrages Freedonia who felt that with another year of starving out the CSA, they could have reconquered most of North America. Freedonia leaves the Triple Alliance along with the UK and the Ottoman Empire, who is on the verge of collapse.
Hungary refuses to fulfill its promises made during the war, and so a civil war begins resulting in much of the country being fractured while France, the Southern Empire, and Germany make no territorial gains, Italy gains South Tyrol and Istria from the crumbling Austrian Empire. Russia loses Poland, much of Ukraine, and the Baltics to the nation states that exist there in the modern day. Most of these states become Ukrainian or German protectorates. Japan gains Alaska and the Far East portions of the Russian Empire. The CSA collapses into a civil war, in which fascists take control of the government, and now claim hegemony over all of North America. The weakness in Freedonia allows French Canadia to seize territory in Canada, and Texas defeats Mexico who is forced to make territorial and monetary concessions.
The Ottoman Empire nearly has complete collapse as an Islamic Union rises in much of the Middle East, and Kurdish forces rise in the Eastern portions of Turkey. The Ottoman Empire mobilizes, and holds onto most of modern-day Turkey bar the predominantly Kurdish states, and declares itself the Republic of Turkey. Austria and Hungary also collapse into political instability following the end of the war. Another communist revolt breaks out in Moscow once again lead by Trotsky. The conflict quickly becomes a stalemate, and an uneasy peace is agreed upon while both forces slowly grow their power. In the Japanese Empire, discontent grows for the ruling Japanese, who may have over-extended the reach of their Empire. Many revolts commence, and in the chaos Hawaii breaks free from Japan's sphere of influence and begins to assert itself as a very small Pacific Power. China profited greatly from the war as it remained neutral, and sold weapons to both sides. This money goes straight to the ruling class which angers the many citizens of the Chinese Empire causing the Kuomintang Revolution of 1922. This revolution would overthrow the Chinese government, but fractured the nation. From 1922 onwards, there's been relative peace in the world, as the many powers grow their armies and bide their time.

Currently working on a mod. right now i am working on a map, first iteration to follow. Only the upper central portion is in any sort of "Finished" state, the rest of it is merely blocked out (And isnt even in a final blockout state, I see plenty of issues)
Any suggestions?
Yes i know the crescent island resembles Ulthuan.
obtuse condor
@lethal tree if you are going to give a non-supernatural origin to that geography, i heavily suggest you follow some scientific guidelines on what could even be possible, like following plate tectonics or not using lone mountains.
https://youtu.be/17NU-io9dmA this is a decent video on 10 guidelines to do a believable map
if you are instead, going to give a supernatural origin to its geography, i LOVE the map
by its shape tho, one could think there should be another island in the south west
also big cities need enormous amounts of food so you should place them on reasonably flat, farmlands areas
lethal tree
Im expecting to go back and sort out the geography, and turn it into a more realistic affair after i finish blocking it out, honestly. At the moment i'm trying to put something together that feels like it might be fun from a gameplay perspective, and then focus on making it more believable (Plus i'm still working out the map importation tool i have, so i've just been working with a half-baked map, just working out how it's all placed (and working) into the game, so i dont waste time if i end up being able to import satisfactorily)
It's not really meant to be particularly "supernatural"
obtuse condor
In that case i assume that the southern land mass is gonna be home to the biggest nation?
if that were the case capital should be located on that big bay
lethal tree
That's the plan, more or less. Though, again, it's subject to a lot of changes
Still working out the best way to even import the map. The only tool i found is, like, two years old and doesnt even produce an immediately workable thing

This is a problem with a change they did around man the guns.
Some older mods are still uploaded and saved in the workshop as Archives (zip)
Whilst newer ones are folders.
When the transition happened some things got messed up.
To solve this issue it is recommended to unsubscribe to the problematic mods.
Then manually delete the descriptor files in your documents folder and afterwards resubscribe to said mods.
This usually solves most hiccups that the game has about faulty descriptor files.

The game takes it to mean icon = prerequisite
Therefore, the game picks "prerequisite" as the icon for the focus, just making the game read what's after that as = { focus = GER_fuel_storage }
Of course, the game just doesn't know what to do with that, so it just breaks the rest of the focus tree

How do I give my focuses a focus icon?

Is there a way to add equipment with decisions or events without having to give the player the appropriate technology? I would like to simulate lend lease of 'export model' variants without cluttering the leasing players' UI or giving the receiving player the ability to manufacture their own.
