I think you need to put that line in the resources brackets, unless money isn't an added resource in the game you can't use it to build weapons and such

thankfully I know quite a bit about equipment and such, cause I need to for the mod I'm making

that didn't work
but it was a great help
i will try to turn the MD money into a resource
or create my own money system

Can anyone help out with this new mod that my friend and I are making? It's called "A Once Holy Empire" and its alternate history if the HRE still existed, but fragmented, and you can play as the last remnants of the Kaiser in Prague, one of the other German warlord states, or other world powers that have changed. Just looking for people who can make portraits/icons, and people experienced in making the countries.

@frigid shale Asked me to post this for me as he is looking to hire modders 
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2264286887
Once A Holy Empire - An alternate history HOI4 scenario where the Holy Roman Empire still exists; but broken. Due to the colossal change that this brings upon the world, there are many differences, WW1 was much smaller, and Austria-Hungary still exists, without and of the Yugoslavian territories. You can be any of the 5 German warlords, the Kaiser/Emperor, or an outside power, wanting the land for yourself.
We are trying to recruit as follows:
artists - Flags, Portraits, some Focus Icons, etc.
coders - Countries, Focuses, Decisions
writers - Not a priority, but it would definitely help in making the mod progress
reef oxide
So how did this HRE emerge? Was it never disestablished under pressure from Napoleon?
frigid shale
@reef oxide yes, actually, I guess it was pretty obvious
reef oxide
maybe do soemthing with Limburg and the Netherlands
since we got that off of the HRE and then Belgium
would maybe be an idea to have the Netherlands in the same borders as the old Republic

hi. is there mod where you would be able make custom battalions?
or maybe. how i would mod own battalions
pearl pagoda
I would suggest locating where you installed Hearts of Iron IV and go into common then units and reading through the files if you want to make your own battalions, sadly from my knowledge there isn't a way to make custom battalions in game
lavish plaza
okay. playing as finns it has been annoying to even try handle manpower issue
and meanwhile 1500man should be able wield, artillery company
pearl pagoda
well I will admit that you have a point somewhat, the game specializes it's battalions in order to create some form of ballance
though it's not that balanced as you can create certain division templates that are just good
lavish plaza
wasn't it also suppose upheld somekind historical accuracy. so i'd think different nations should have different kind battalions
pearl pagoda
yeah that too, but I'm not going to stop you from making a mod that does that
feel free to add whatever you like to the game by making a mod
lavish plaza
if i'd have time to make grand scale mod i would better do whole game that point (game dev)
funny how these are txts
pearl pagoda
yep
it's basically all text files, just remember that editing the game files straight up will break the game so you need to make a mod using the mod tools in the game launcher
and just put the files in the mod, the game will load mods first before the main content
so mods override the game code
obtuse condor
I wish there was a HOI mod that went from the end of WWII to the Cold War
obtuse condor
I wouldn't because every AI nation would have built up hundreds if not thousands of divisions by the time the cold war starts

@shy bay Maybe you can tell this guy who you got into modding and learnt it.
shy bay
Well there isn´t really active teaching session or huge tutorials.
Oftentime it is just trial and error.
I got into 56 modding by actively playing and trying to fix minor errors,
after a while you just get better at it and when you want to implement a feature/event or something you can often look at code that you know has similar effects.
Like you wanna adda news article you can just copy over the news event of the hindenburg or off any other and then adjust the things.
Afterall most of the code is very simple to understand even on the first glimpse.

I have an idea for a mod that I'm planning to work on. It is set in the 21st century, following a mostly real timeline progression but with several key points of divergence. The tone will be somewhat grim while also having dark humour elements mixed in. The aforementioned differences with our timeline will also lead to the world being a lot more unstable and prone to wars. I have the basic concept written down already but it needs world building before anything else so I'm looking for people who would be interested in doing that with me.
heavy star
dude can you tell a bit more about it
obtuse condor
Here is a short description of the premise: The timelines diverge when in 1993, during the constitutional crisis in Russia a broad coalition of the People's Congress and Supreme Soviet alongside various left and right groups, many of which are united in the National Salvation Front (FNS) successfuly ousts the then president of the RF Boris Yeltsin from power.
The next few years are turbulent for Russia as a more authoritarian democracy under former VP Rutskoy gives way to the FNS and their associates taking power.
Russia becomes an isolationist pariah state.
The start date is 1. January 2000. With most of their collective internal enemies purged, the dualistic and contradictory Front is now ripping at the seams. With more radical political groups adding fuel to the growing fire, a colllapse and an insuing power struggle seem inevitable.

again not really important or bad but something i just noticed
bold linden
how?
someone can overstrain their heart
or he will overstrain his heart
but in a past tense saying he overstrain his heart doesnt make sense
overstrain works in a future tense
we will overstrain out rail system
but not in a present tense
we have overstrain our rail system
or due to our overstrain rail systems
saying that you sound like borat
due to our overstrained rail network is for a past tense because we have already overstrained our rail system
not we have already overstrain our rail system

Is there a Great War mod that allows Germany to refuse Austria-Hungary’s request to declare war on Imperial Russia in July 1914? I’ve always wondered what would happen if Germany refused to back Austria-Hungary’s play versus Serbia as a means to avoid war.
Along those lines, is there a HoI4 mod that covers the period between 1880 and 1914 to see if there was a way for Germany and Great Britain to have realistically been allies instead of the Franco-British Entente?

Britain was always concerned with the balance of power in Europe.
Once Germany became a single, unified state to threaten that balance, there was no way that Britain would increase their power even further.
It's partly why the French were allowed such an extensive colonial empire while the Germans were allowed the scraps.
The Italians got stuff all simply because they were late to the party, however.

@marble gorge I am not sure what date you have in your map above, however, if it is 1933 you should have a tag appear in Kashgar representing the First East Turkestan Republic. Also regarding Shandong its an issue because while they were "loyal" to Nanjing as you said, they were fairly autonomous in their own affairs similar to other provinces.
marble gorge
we did have them spawn in on February '33
as that's when they revolted
although some maps did have East Turkestan on the map in January '33
obtuse condor
Yeah the time when you could argue them as a "state" is debated, and even if they were a state, however at least by may 33 it was a recognisable movement with a consistent territorial range. Also for Shandong and what Remains of Zhang Xueliangs territory they should be puppets under the Nanjing government compared to Shanxi, Yuanan and the Ma's territory which were essentially autonomous except in foreign affairs.
Also out of interest in terms of alternate history with regards to China what is the idea?
marble gorge
With the RoC itself I'm not too sure
The one path I know about is the Xi'an incident going south
With Chiang being killed
Wang Jingwei takes power, kinda
It leads to a reignition of the Chinese Civil War

Edit: After looking through Reddit even more I found the solution. The Workshop mod doesn't work if you have the mod locally as well, so you have to delete the version in the mod folder that isn't from Steam
