put a #

[obsidian wren]

okay

i have my icon as
icon = focus_HEDG_communism_increase.dds

but it dosen't show up in game

it just shows up as a quesiton mark

🤔

@neat needle

[neat needle]

you need to define it

[obsidian wren]

as in

[neat needle]

in a new folder

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/883235169383882782.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[neat needle]

you should probably watch the video from iron workshop

[obsidian wren]

i am watching one

but he uses a generic one

oh he actually does use a custom one

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/883235169383882782.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

damn

oh and how do i change how many days a focus takes?

[neat needle]

theres a cost syntax

[obsidian wren]

ah that's what that means

[neat needle]

yea its basically times 7

so 10 is 70

5 is 35

but you can also use like 2.9 or something

which would be 20

[obsidian wren]

okay

I have cost at 10 but it says 0

and never completes

[neat needle]

did u save

[obsidian wren]

yeah

does the factor being 0 have to do anything with it

[neat needle]

wdym

[neat needle]

in what is this

which file

[obsidian wren]

the focus tree file

hammer_of_editors\common\national_focus

[neat needle]

uhh no

it worked fine for me

[obsidian wren]

🤔

i'll try changing it

also do i have to quit the entire game for the mod to refresh

or do i just gotta boot to main menu

[neat needle]

quit the entire game

[obsidian wren]

okay

completion time keeps being 0 days

check it out

[neat needle]

oh for relative position id i meant #relative_position_id = hedg_communism_increase

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/814879302960939078.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[neat needle]

also sort out your brackets

they look weird

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/839284639750684712.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

what do you mean

works now

also the localisation for the focus dosen't work for me

 hedg_communism_increase:() "Communstic Propaganda" 
 hedg_communism_increase_desc:() "With the threat of Ideological Drift on the Horizon we must mobilize Propganda for our Great Leader!"```

🤔

[neat needle]

make it look more like this

[obsidian wren]

i see

[obsidian wren]

you know anything about this?

[neat needle]

you don't put ()

you put 0

lol

[obsidian wren]

oh it's a 0?

[neat needle]

yea

[obsidian wren]

i see

[neat needle]

bruhhh

[obsidian wren]

that's a zero or an O?

[neat needle]

zero

[obsidian wren]

i see

time to restart

[neat needle]

also you can type the 'reload focus' command in hoi4 and it should show localisation and other things for the focuses

for the icons you need to restart to see them

[obsidian wren]

ah

[neat needle]

just to save some time

[sharp scaffold]

Btw my launcher not working and I dont see dlc loader how can I activate the mods??

[neat needle]

very

[obsidian wren]

yes

also @neat needle how do you get syntax highlighting for hoi4 modding when using notepad++

[neat needle]

you gotta change the language for notepad++

like coding language

on the top

i use swift

[chilly bay]

EN текст

[sharp scaffold]

Help

[neat needle]

wdym exactly?

[neat needle]

ok so i saw your question and i'd recommend going to the fandom website for operators

its very useful

for prerequisites and stuff

@obsidian wren

[obsidian wren]

k

i already figured it out

[chilly bay]

[obsidian wren]

@neat needle what's the NOT thing for political parties?

NOT = { political_party = communism } doesn't work

[neat needle]

do you mean as in ruling party shouldn't be communist?

[obsidian wren]

yeah

for the focus tree to be doable

[neat needle]

then has_government

[obsidian wren]

thanks

[neat needle]

has_government = communism

everything is on the hoi4 wiki

i really encourage you to check it

[obsidian wren]

okay

can you send some links

[neat needle]

also political_party isn't a thing

just fyi

triggers/conditions -> https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Conditions
effects -> https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Effect
modifiers -> https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

those are the main ones you're gonna need

[obsidian wren]

thanks

[neat needle]

also for focus icons i use these two

[neat needle]

looks.. interesting

[obsidian wren]

[neat needle]

pretty ez once you get the hang of it

[sharp scaffold]

Wdym fandom website?

nvm

[junior tangle]

I had a small stroke while reading that

[obsidian wren]

I know

it's text i made up on the spot

i'll refine it later

[obsidian wren]

Is there a way i can just clear the map?

I want to make a custom continent

[obtuse condor]

Putting my waifu as a country leader lmao

So, this is a custom country that I made, it seems to be overlapped with the vanilla country, how to fix the divisions?

[sharp scaffold]

Sorry i need a link i feel like the only guide i find the Wikipedia

Nvm do I have to download these links if I mays asks?? Like note++

[sharp scaffold]

Sorry im a newbie at the modding

[reef oxide]

I'm no modder but the game has files (oob files) that say what units exist (templates, equipment, training level, location) at the start of the game. You need to find those files and remove/change them

But I don't know where to find them🤡

[gusty prawn]

Hi max

[reef oxide]

Bye🤡

[gusty prawn]

Uh

That

Hm

[gusty prawn]

@honest eagle btw he needs help

[reef oxide]

Visual studio code tbh

[sharp scaffold]

Hmm okay i better watch some tutorial vids about that tommorow

Like my launcher having problems and there is no dlc like loader on the document files of the game

So yeah sorry for the problems

[obtuse condor]

Aight, thank you for the answer, mate, I'll try to do that.

[reef oxide]

👍 👍

[kind dawn]

hey i got the game from xbox game pass
but my mods dont work
like when im loading in i crash

[honest eagle]

I use notepad++ a lot, I went to the windows store and got it for free iirc

And I love to see the activity guys!

[honest eagle]

The newest release means a lot of mods are out of date

[obsidian wren]

Server literally saved my mod and helped me alot

https://c.tenor.com/8k1tgcWM5-sAAAAM/jo-jo-cat.gif

Very nice

[obtuse condor]

Is it good making USA communist

[obsidian wren]

W h a t

[honest eagle]

That’s good!

[obtuse condor]

There

[obsidian wren]

There shouldn't be a problem

[obtuse condor]

Is a focus tree

For USA

[obsidian wren]

And

[obtuse condor]

To make it comm

So should I do it ?

[obsidian wren]

This is the modding channel

Dude

[honest eagle]

Heyo @obtuse condor I would ask in #562746844837314586

[obtuse condor]

Ok pappy

[obsidian wren]

Basically one big inside joke making countries my friend's and adding custom focus trees

[honest eagle]

That’s funny lol

[obsidian wren]

And the focus trees are inside jokes in themselves

Like one making the country ruled by my friends cat minki

Also @honest eagle how do I change land

I want to make my country not look like Germany for example but just edit the land

But water is in the way

[honest eagle]

Like add land?

[obsidian wren]

Yeah

[honest eagle]

Oh that’s way too complicated for me lol

[obsidian wren]

💀

Guess i gotta wait then

[honest eagle]

But if you Watch the iron workshop they have a good video on it

I’m sorry

[obsidian wren]

Yeah no problem

[obsidian wren]

also

basically i have an event that's supposed to release a nation but does nothing

it does the other stuff i told it to

just not the release part

it's still a puppet

[neat needle]

CZE can't release CZE

[lofty plaza]

^

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/810527982073544715.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

it's supposed to be a event for GER and GER gets the event when a focus is done

how do i make GER release CZE

[neat needle]

you put GER = { instead of CZE = {

but itll also add war support etc to GER

so just make a new line for CZE to get that if that's the goal

[obsidian wren]

okay and also one thing, for some reason one of my focuses dosen't appear in game at all regardless of the position i put, maybe it has to do something with the fact i want it to be the start of a new tree

and i can't send it

fefgesifjgseoig

[neat needle]

try sending in dms maybe?

[obsidian wren]

the bot kinda sucks lol

[obtuse condor]

why is there no good USA overhaul mod!?

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/810527982073544715.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

is this really the place to ask

[honest eagle]

basically

[shut salmon]

these idiots dont have patience smh

[obtuse condor]

I have added some provinces to prussia

does that affect the railways?

because i have zero errors and i cant play my mod

I only have the basegame errors

[neat needle]

yes it does, you need to change them in the nudger

[obtuse condor]

How do you change the railways?

[neat needle]

in the nudger, you go into supply, the last one, and all the controls should be there

everything you need to know

[obtuse condor]

Having to fix the railways is so annoying

nsb is such a pain in the ass

[neat needle]

yea for the most part it really messed up a lot of mods

with the characters and stuff

you have to make more portraits for the generals for advisors

since you can make generals advisors now

pretty unnecessary feature tbh

[obtuse condor]

if i press on the supply thing in nudge

my game crashes

[obsidian wren]

how do i make provinces not be demilitarized from the start of the game

[neat needle]

you take the demilitarized states, put them in the history file, and remove _set_demilitarized_zone = yes

and the thing where it says 1936.3.7

[obsidian wren]

and how do i check the province ids in the nudger again

[neat needle]

hover over them

[obtuse condor]

What does this do?

[neat needle]

its the file for the railways

[obtuse condor]

can i fix the railways in there?

[neat needle]

uhh yeah probably

also check the logs file

and go to crashes

since your game crashed

[obsidian wren]

so which do i put

in the history file

[neat needle]

state id

states are the demilitarized ones, not the provinces

so just copy gdynia into history/states

and remove the demilitarized line

[obsidian wren]

okay thanks

i can't find the condition to check if a foreign state is a puppet of another

what is it

i want to have a focus locked away if the country releases a puppet

[neat needle]

you can press ctrl+f to search when on a website

and just type like puppet or something

it'll take you to it when you press enter

[sour marten]

im not sure if this goes here, but is there a mod that turns fps smoothing off when starting up the game? i dont like having to go to a non ironman save just to turn it off (and i always play on ironman)

[obsidian wren]

i did

[neat needle]

good

[obsidian wren]

i did not find it

most modifiers are checking if the current state is puppeted

not if another one is

[neat needle]

nah what u can do is put a scope for the country which u want to check

like:
CZE = {
is_puppet_of = GER
}

[obsidian wren]

ah

[obsidian wren]

why do i crash?

it says the goal files but they seem good

do you know? @neat needle

[neat needle]

what is your file called for the focus icon?

[obsidian wren]

gfx/interface/goals

iirc

[neat needle]

no the file

the pictures

like what format do they follow

[obsidian wren]

The .dds'es?

[neat needle]

yes

[obsidian wren]

GFX_goal

[neat needle]

so GFX_goal_name

right?

@obsidian wren

[sharp scaffold]

So which is better notepad++ or visual studio code

???

[neat needle]

never used visual studio code

although i dont really think it matters that much for hoi4 specifically

cuz modding isnt hard

[obsidian wren]

yeah

what about it

[neat needle]

i think since you put GFX_goal in your name for the pictures you need to put GFX_goal twice

since i think its required to have GFX_goal in the name

but the texturefile can stay the same

[obsidian wren]

it wasn't an issue before

i only started crashing after i added a new nation

[neat needle]

what nation did u add? a new tag?

[obsidian wren]

no i did it like before

just replaced the stats of estonia

and made it annex the baltics at the start of the game

and added leaders

[neat needle]

and ur game crashes?

[obsidian wren]

yeah

on loading in

[neat needle]

go check Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\crashes

and click on the last one

and click logs then click error

[obsidian wren]

i literally sent it

🗿

[obsidian wren]

💀

[neat needle]

it gives you actual errors i think

like it gives more useful ones

so that you can fix stuff

[obsidian wren]

yes i know that error.log exists

i sent it here

nothing really valuable i could find in it

though

[neat needle]

i guess just try restarting, and see if you get any different errors?

cuz from what i can tell these are random base game errors that dont actually do anything

since you didnt change any advisors for australia

[obsidian wren]

i restarted like 3 times

i can send the logs

all start with that goals thing

but i don't think that's anything

i'll try removing stuff gradually and seeing what causes it

[neat needle]

ah

backslashes are false

they should be / not \

for texturefile

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/810527982073544715.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[neat needle]

i mean i feel like they should be more clear with shit like this
if you meant to write a single backslash, write two backslashes.

like huh

[obsidian wren]

okay i replaced them

now to restart

still crashes

[neat needle]

wtf

these errors dont make sense

check the crash log

maybe theres more errors there

like these ones dont have anything to do with ur mod

it says theres once again shit wrong with australia bulgaria portugal etc

[obsidian wren]

yeah i know

they make no fucking sense

[obsidian wren]

maybe because of my lack of dlc's?

no idea

i'll just remove shit until it works

huh

i found the issue!

the history file of newly created estonia

i think it's the annex thing on the start

[neat needle]

yea

just make estonia own the states of latvia and lithuania

[obsidian wren]

wouldn't that overlap?

[neat needle]

no

not in the countries

[obsidian wren]

and because of oob have divisions inside

[neat needle]

in the history files

[obsidian wren]

ah

[neat needle]

like in states

[obsidian wren]

how do i do that?

[neat needle]

just copy + paste the states of latvia and lithuania and replace owner and controller with EST

[obsidian wren]

ah right

[neat needle]

you just put latvia and lithuania in the countries file and remove oob = "(oob_name)"

[obsidian wren]

quick logic question right

if estonias id is 12

and latvias id is 13

and the baltic states are estonia latvia and lithuania

then what id is lithuania?

[neat needle]

wdym id

[obsidian wren]

like in the number before the country name

in the history state file

[neat needle]

well they arent all one state

[obsidian wren]

yes

[neat needle]

theyre like 5 states now

[obsidian wren]

but following the trend of estonia and latvia

being 12 and 13

it should be 14 or 11

but it's not even close

i can't find the lithuania history file and the windows search function dosen't help

[neat needle]

bro paradox named the states in the files really badly

like the first one is named france and its CORSICA

[obsidian wren]

to hell with it im gonna use the nudge tool

[neat needle]

yea thats way better

like theres one state called "Kosavo"

wtf

and guess what

[obsidian wren]

WHAT THE

(bot sucks)

Estonia is 12 right?

Latvia is 13

LITHUANIA

IS

189

[neat needle]

yea

[obsidian wren]

i swear to god

[neat needle]

really inconsistent

[neat needle]

also what i wanted to say but because of bot is that

the state in hoi4 is central serbia

like excuse me

[obsidian wren]

because capslcock is bad babd

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/366255611404615690.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[neat needle]

yea vewy bwad

[obsidian wren]

and swears are illegal!!!!!

in a server about a game which features ww2 and shit but is pegi 7

also lithuania in the files of the game is refrenced as kaunas

[neat needle]

yea that is/was the capital

today its not

[obsidian wren]

but why?

[neat needle]

because they now have vilnius

[obsidian wren]

no i mean

[neat needle]

like that region of poland

[obsidian wren]

why refrence it not by the country name

but the capitol

[obsidian wren]

sneaky poles like me taking their terrain lol

[neat needle]

because first they started with that and then realized oh shit the soviets cant just be all one state

also this is my humble message to the bot

[obsidian wren]

hate it

really uneeded

[neat needle]

yea

[obsidian wren]

you have like 11 mods

why do you need a bot to delete you for saying fuck

also in a hoi4 discord i repeat

not like a roblox discord

[neat needle]

i mean they dont like moderate the chat constantlly

[obsidian wren]

not a game for 7 year olds

[neat needle]

but yeah it is really stupid that we can say shit but not the f word

because its "not family friendly pg"

[obsidian wren]

you can just pass it by doing fuck

[neat needle]

yea ik

[obsidian wren]

hoi4 is pegi 7 for some reason

a ww2 strategy game

[neat needle]

i mean theres not really any sort of mention of like genocide or the holocaust

but there probably should be lets be real

[honest eagle]

:|

[neat needle]

for history

[obsidian wren]

oh god mod in chat

run away

[honest eagle]

yeah lets NOT filter evade

and talk about that in modding

[obsidian wren]

uneeded filter

anyways

[honest eagle]

tell the bot

[neat needle]

we got distracted sir

[neat needle]

i told it

[obsidian wren]

@neat needle i removed the annex thing from the history file and just removed the province id's the baltics and put it in the history file of estonia

but it still crashes

still showing bullshit errors

[sharp scaffold]

Btw can I ask is everything really in the wiki fandom

[neat needle]

yea the errors are just wrong

[sharp scaffold]

Because I literally dont know where to start on note ones I download it sorry again

[neat needle]

wdym note ones

[obsidian wren]

for some reason

me adding the latvian and lithuanian provinces to the estonian history file

upset the game

to the point of crashing

when i regave them their land and reverted it launched

[neat needle]

ok show me the history file

[obsidian wren]

like the one where it's fixed

or what

i'll just probably have the annexation be a focus

though having it at the start is easier

and cooler

[neat needle]

the estonian history file

[obsidian wren]

state={
    id=13
    name="STATE_13"
    resources={
        steel=2.000
    }

    history={
        owner = EST
        victory_points = {
            3174 1 #Voru
        }
        buildings = {
            infrastructure = 3
            arms_factory = 1
            industrial_complex = 1
            air_base = 2

        }
        add_core_of = EST

    }

    provinces={
        83 308 3074 3174 6381 11291 
    }

    local_supplies=6.0 
    manpower=423070
    buildings_max_level_factor=1.000
    state_category=rural
}

the default one

[sharp scaffold]

Notepad++ sorry

[neat needle]

well theres always videos

but the hoi4 wiki and fandom wiki do have things like effects and conditions and so on which is what youll mainly use them for

actually making decisions focuses ideas etc its better to do it from a video

[sharp scaffold]

I just want to put mods in the game thats all

[neat needle]

wdym like download already made mods?

[sharp scaffold]

Yup

[neat needle]

or make your own

[sharp scaffold]

Installing mods in the game

[neat needle]

well you dont need notepad++ for that

[sharp scaffold]

My launcher having issue and I dont see the dlc loader notepad on the document

[neat needle]

thats to create your own mod

[sharp scaffold]

Okay sorry like i said im a noub at this

I already have the mods download i just dont know how to install it

Without the launcher

[neat needle]

if you open the launcher and go to "All Installed Mods" on the left all the mods that you installed will be there

and the dlcs are on the left too

and you can add the mods to a playset which is just sorta something that you can select and itll activate all mods that you want to have active

[sharp scaffold]

I just pm you private

[obsidian wren]

is there a way i can actually annex latvia and lithuania on launch? not just give history file provinces?

@neat needle

[neat needle]

there is this on action

[obsidian wren]

hm?

[neat needle]

its called on_startup

[obsidian wren]

where do i put it

history?

[neat needle]

on actions are just a thing you put in the common file

for reference/help you can always check the vanilla files

[obsidian wren]

common/countries?

[neat needle]

no

common/on_actions

[lofty plaza]

No common/on_actions

[obsidian wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/810527982073544715.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[neat needle]

just check the base game files you should be able to figure it out

[lofty plaza]

I don't know why you would want to do that over setting the owner in state history file

[neat needle]

it crashes for him

idk why

actually let me see the state history file for the capitals of lithuania and latvia

[obsidian wren]

it dosen't now

since i replaced it

so it's normal

[neat needle]

what did you replace

[obsidian wren]

I just made it normal so i gave estonia the land it has normally

i reverted the giving of land

is

    # country 

    on_startup = {
        effect = {

            EST = {
            
            annex_country = {
            target = LAT
            transfer_troops = yes
            }
            
            annex_country = {
            target = LIT
            transfer_troops = yes
            }
            
            }
        }
    }
}```

okay?

[neat needle]

yes

but all you need to do for all the states is change this

it shouldnt crash

when i changed territories like that for my mod it worked perfectly

[obsidian wren]

ah

[sharp scaffold]

ahh @neat needle i pm you privately

Go to your documents folder

Then go to your paradox folder

Then hoi4

Then crash/logs

And send the error.log

[sharp scaffold]

ohh okay welp atleast the good news some of the mods work

[obsidian wren]

Ah they're not your mods hmm

[obsidian wren]

Most mods will be outdated since nsb released recently

I'd just try to narrow down the working ones

[sharp scaffold]

like the one is not working is road to 56 and I want that one

[neat needle]

it's gonna be updated soon enough

[sharp scaffold]

Lets just hope I don't have an error on this one

Like because I want to play as israel

Or go south korea and invade north korea

nvm it did not work

Need a little help here

How to delete the vanilla scenarios and put mine in the middle?

[obtuse condor]

Ok, so I have figured how to delete both, however it resulted to directly jump into the country select menu, while I want the select scenario menu to only show my scenario still remain, any idea what should I do?

[obtuse condor]

Cold war mod ?

[obsidian wren]

Yeah

That's the Cold War Mod loading screen

Anyways how could I remove events connected to a country

Like not being like germany and having events like the british alliance and all

[neat needle]

just make the british focus tree not give germany that event

[obsidian wren]

no i want to actually remove the german events

completley

so it's a complete overhaul of germany

not just a name, leader and focus tree

[neat needle]

then just make the events file, copy the events for germany and delete the events, make new ones

events is not meant to be in common or anything btw its its own file

[sly sequoia]

Anybody is good to work with 3D model skin stuff?

[sharp scaffold]

yes it does have an error

is there any mods that are up to date if I may ask???

because I feel like this wont work at all

[obtuse condor]

first time making something lol

The papal states mod. A integrated puppet of Italy

has ideas and stuff, and this is the italian, tree. its bare bones but. yeah.

[surreal vault]

is there any way I can run mods without them crashing hoi4, I've been trying to run TNO on the current update and 1.9

[neat needle]

TNO doesn't work on both of those

[nimble jungle]

Does anybody know how to delete or hide the 1936 start date? I tried just having a blank file but it crashes.

[neat needle]

try replacing it with what you want

[plain arch]

Is their any mod that improves on rechkomesseriats and the Waffen SS preferably works with NSB?

[dapper leaf]

Does anybody want to hear the alt hist scenario for my mod?

[plain arch]

Sure?

[humble thistle]

very new to modding, how did it make 2 new scenarios even though I only have one new bookmark file?

Additionally, how do i get rid of the two old scenarios, i tried making two empty text files named blitzkrieg and gathering_storm or whatever and it just crashed my game

Can someone send a tutorial on how to edit the world map

[obsidian wren]

?

[neat needle]

do you mean a new state

or province?

@obsidian wren

[obsidian wren]

Editing the map

i want to make this

[neat needle]

oh so completely revamp it

[neat needle]

?

[obsidian wren]

yeah

just destroy the map and countries and build it up form scratch

[neat needle]

never tried it out, maybe try this video and apply it to the map that you created

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VM5Br6V1Sc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl3LQCA7xvw or this one, it's more up to date

i just wanna play The New Order and i have this

[proud minnow]

https://c.tenor.com/lnd2-pSdVuoAAAAM/fnaf-sus.gif

How the hell in the jesus resurrection outta the land did you get that error and from what?

[cold knoll]

it just loading

and i have this

[lofty plaza]

Most likely because the mod isn't updated

[craggy hare]

or you did something majorly wrong to make the game not even start

[obtuse condor]

I want to know the joke behind Moscow Hold 'em.

[zenith urchin]

IIRC new order isnt updated to the current version

You need to roll back to an older version to play currently

[peak crescent]

Alright, hi guys.

I found the code for the "Protect Bosnia" thing in the Yugoslavian focus tree.

Thing is, it doesn't spawn the three militia divisions.

Here's the code, if anyone understands this may you point out the problem? Thanks in advance.

[neat needle]

what version are you playing on? it was fixed when barbarossa came out (which i tested before and after and it worked in barbarossa)

[peak crescent]

1.11.4

Didn't know it was fixed

I'll try it out

[peak crescent]

Alright yeah

it works

hooray

[obsidian wren]

the map generator generates a mod that's for 1.5

[floral cliff]

Can somebody help me with something? I'm trying to make a mod but I find it difficult to know where to get started. I used to make mods years ago so I'm a bit out of practise.

[cold knoll]

i have a problem, when loading is end i have Paradox Crash Reporter

[floral cliff]

I'm trying to make a late 20th century mod for HOI4. What paths should I replace in the descriptor?

[honest eagle]

i would watch the iron workshop and read the wiki for help getting started ^^ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheIronWorkshop

[floral cliff]

They have good tutorials but what I'm looking for in particular is where to get started. I'm creating a mod that completely changes the era of the game. What paths should i replace in the descriptor (if necessary) to achieve this? What features (e.g. borders, ideologies, etc.) should I change first?

[honest eagle]

i would establish countries first

and i wouldnt worry about descriptor atm

[neat needle]

descriptor is what you'll need least, i'd recommend first come up with some sort of low effort concept in paint (of a map) and go from there. if it's alternate history, establish lore, if not, try to be as accurate as possible for the map

[floral cliff]

It's historical.

The mod covers the period 1985-2000

I think I'll start off with the bookmark, then go forth with countries.

[neat needle]

alright, make the time period first, then learn how to adjust the map. Since it's historical, it will be even easier, since a lot of the tags are already in-game.

just adjust the territories of the tags in the history file for the tags which already exist, then add new ones

[floral cliff]

You've been awesome help 👍

[neat needle]

since you start in 1985, make poland for example not own the east, and give them pomerania, silesia and east prussia

[floral cliff]

Also if I may interject, I made a new bookmark and replaced the bookmark path in the descriptor, but it shows 3 start dates now

[neat needle]

sorry, i haven't touched bookmarks much, i've heard of lots of people having problems with that, so i guess you can either look it up or go on to for example the hoi4 reddit or discord and ask there

the modding reddit/discord, btw

[floral cliff]

i tried finding a modding discord but found nothing

[neat needle]

it's called the hoi4 modding plaza

[long iris]

it would be cool if Austria got an alt-history path that gave them a Jewish president that would expose the Nazi anti-semetism

and the Nazis would be put in a tough spot on whether or not to go to war with you over it

because if they did then it would confirm and make everyone hate them even more

but if they didn't then, i think you can imagine

[cold knoll]

but somebody help me?

[obtuse condor]

anyone know how to change a leader description

[sharp scaffold]

can I ask is road to 56 updated??

[sharp scaffold]

never mind im just gonna wait 5 more months to be sure everything updated

[wet ember]

[hollow mantle]

oh

does any1 know?

[gusty ridge]

Yes

first of all allowed = { always = no} so try that

Like changing it to yes

Then it may just be a loc prob

Also restart the game

@hidden flower

[hidden flower]

i did

fixed it

[spice ginkgo]

is it possible to have both road to 56 and vanilla+ or am i only allowed to have one of the two

i just downloaded vanilla+ and looking at road to 56

[hearty sedge]

you can have both but idk if they are compatible with eachother

[honest eagle]

You can have them both, but one has to be disabled when the other is enabled

[simple pier]

Did they change how to mod Bookmarks for HOI4?

[spice ginkgo]

alright, thanks all

[golden merlin]

my mods aren't loading

[gusty prawn]

you can try re-loading the launcher

[golden merlin]

ok

how do i do that

[gusty prawn]

close it and open it again

[obtuse condor]

what are some good mods for newbs that just qol

[gusty prawn]

i mean it depends on what you like

[obtuse condor]

okay. ai improvements?

maybe a smidge of better war plans visuals etc

maybe a built in navy controller so i dont have to have a heart attack just trying to dock them and get them to fight in one sea

xD kiddin on the last one but yeah

ai, battle plan visuals-or realities, and yea

[gusty prawn]

so you want historical mods yes?

@obtuse condor

[molten pecan]

idk is it count as modding

but

[obtuse condor]

i mean. if you saw my game i dont normally do historical just cause i love to see the diversity.

[molten pecan]

can i buff resources and structures of a state

[obtuse condor]

but atleast border between non-hist and historical

[molten pecan]

if yes

how

[obtuse condor]

would the "strengthen major nation" do that for you denizz?

[gusty prawn]

using some mods its easier but you can edit the state files too i think

[golden merlin]

why doesn't Old World Blues work :c

[molten pecan]

so i wanna buff mongolia(state, not the country)

[golden merlin]

I have it installed, I reverified my games integrity twice, reinstall the mod, relaunched the launcher and everything

But the mod just isn't working

[gusty prawn]

id suggest just doing research all

[golden merlin]

The game registers it tho cause when i go into a normal game it says that game files/mods have been changed

[molten pecan]

i was talking about increasing resources and buildings in start

[golden merlin]

SO WHY DOESNT MY OWB MOD NO WORK :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[gusty prawn]

yes then id suggest using toolpack

[molten pecan]

does it work with 1.10.8, and where can i download it?

[gusty prawn]

ok go to teck support and look at the pinned message from me

[golden merlin]

thank you

[gusty prawn]

it works for all versions i believe

[molten pecan]

https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/20516/Any i found this

[gusty prawn]

yes its that i think

[molten pecan]

thx for help

[gusty tiger]

how do you update a mod to the latest dlc?

[kind spindle]

can i recieve the victoria 2 hoi4 converter

[gusty prawn]

I mean if you don’t know modding i wouldn’t try my luck

If you do

Idk

[gusty tiger]

I made a mod

i just don't know how to update my mod to the latest dlc

[gusty prawn]

ohhh

@honest eagle you know how?

[honest eagle]

know what

ahhh

ok go into the descriptor.mod file and it shows "game version" and update it to the latest version

that doesnt change the files but it makes it so it doesnt say its outdated

[exotic robin]

Okay

[gusty tiger]

but what if the stuff the mod changes doesnt load even when i do that

for instance my mod adds a new nation and unit type but when i load the mod it just acts like unmodded

[honest eagle]

then your mod files are wrong i think

[gusty tiger]

and it was working before the update

[gusty prawn]

new states mby

[gusty tiger]

I guess it's time for trial and error

[gusty tiger]

I'll check there first

Mine should have been fine though since it only affects Greenland, Iceland, and the farrow islands

That or I'm thinking there is a conflict with my new weapon/unit type

[obtuse condor]

[candid badger]

U guys know of any NoStepBack-compatible focus tree mods? i have all packs, in case it requires DLC.

steam workshop OR paradox work for me.

[obsidian wren]

How do i change models of infantry divisions for a specific country

[obtuse condor]

army 😎

[oblique silo]

is that the star wars mod?

[obtuse condor]

palpatines gamble 😎

[oblique silo]

ah

is it good? I've never played it

[obtuse condor]

super good

you can buy ships if your in the CIS or GR, if you're in the CIS battle droids only cost like 10 manpower and most things you buy you'll get production rights for them

if you need money you can get loans from the IGBC but you have to pay them back and you lose money from the debt

i needed loans to keep my army alive thats why i got 250 million in debt, you take loans in 10 mil incriments

[oblique silo]

dang, so its like irl warfare then

[obtuse condor]

im preparing to war with Hondos Gang, but only about 24 units will be going

another group of 24 is for just incase the 101st needs help

and the other 24 is to just sit tight at Mandalore

my army is made up of the 101st Legion, 909th Legion, and 91st Speeder Corps. then my navy is built up of the 421st Star Corps and 45th Nova Corps

its pretty swag

palpatines gamble is way easier for me than basic hoi4 because i know that 15 AT-TEs can destroy a Munificent-class frigate. idk much about what can beat what in hoi4

i have 79 civilian factories 😎

i can produce a factory like every 2 months, and that is with little to no infastructure

[scenic spindle]

I was going to check it out but didn't think it would be good tbh

Maybe I will now though

[blazing flame]

that looks like a mod that would make me commit

[maiden scarab]

I never used a mod

[hollow tendon]

this one?

[obtuse condor]

Should try playing Mandalore or Death Watch 😂

Or the Galactic Republic

With the Galactic Republic you can lose basically immediately if you don’t chose the right National focuses because you’re in economic ruin from the start of playing

[pseudo peak]

Just a quick GFX i made

[obsidian wren]

Cool

[prime jacinth]

just a generic portrait i made from, not that great but i think its good enough for a generic portrait

I think I did a foot job

Wouldn’t you say?

[prime jacinth]

yep, my pfp is this but with glowing eyes and the rising sun flag

[gusty prawn]

Yea I can see

Btw why does he look too young and too old at the same time

[prime jacinth]

thats just how japanese people look

[gusty prawn]

Eh

I mean

[prime jacinth]

improved a little bit more, what do you think. i think the colourisation was pretty good

original image for reference

[gusty prawn]

A little light in some areas and a little dark in some but else it looks spot on

[prime jacinth]

nice

[gusty prawn]

I made this

Can you spot what I added?

[prime jacinth]

the eyepatch and the gloss on top of the image

and the emblem on his hat

[gusty prawn]

Gloss?

[prime jacinth]

i think

[gusty prawn]

Damn I did a good job of that’s all you notice

[prime jacinth]

the white mixed with the black

yep

[gusty prawn]

I just followed what was alrdy there

Eyepatch yes

Emblem on hat

Yes

[prime jacinth]

you added the badge as well i think

[gusty prawn]

Yep

[prime jacinth]

since it isnt that black and white

[gusty prawn]

One more thing

[gusty prawn]

Nice snooping

One more thing

Guess what it is

[prime jacinth]

idk

[gusty prawn]

The hat itself

[prime jacinth]

bruh

[gusty prawn]

Yea

I did a good job tho

[gusty prawn]

There is a big difference in the pixels on it

[prime jacinth]

yea

the top of the har

*hat

looks weird

[gusty prawn]

No it’s the bottom of it

If you look at the bottom

You can see a skin change

From smooth to rough

Franco to Fidel

Wait

No yea

[prime jacinth]

bruhhh

franco to fidel

[gusty prawn]

Hats from Franco

He stole it

I*

[prime jacinth]

you stole a hat from francisco franco lol

[gusty prawn]

Yes

He was mad

Btw that general is Catalan on the nationalist side

So yea

[prime jacinth]

cool

[gusty prawn]

Yea

[slate fog]

Made a mock-up of a potential Apres Moi Le Deluge Redux or somethin idk

Tried to take the lore in account

And also made some changes that make it a bit more interesting to look at

So basically the main changes are:

--North America--

Deseret is vastly reduced in size

Spain controls Central America at game start

--South America--

Rio de la Plata is vastly reduced in size

Spain controls the viceroyalties of New Granada, Upper Peru and Lower Peru at game start

--Africa--

Britain now controls East Africa and Bechuanaland

Westphalia controls OTL German East Africa (Portugal annexes it if Westphalia loses)

The Ottomans now control Libya and have Egypt as a puppet (couldnt get the name to be Khedivate w/o freeing them which in retrospect probs should have dont but whatever)

--Europe--

Removed Luxembourg

Spain now owns Catalonia

Magyar Empire owns Vojvodina

Albania has lost custody of Epirus

Pomerania now owns Prussia

[craggy hare]

Make a cosmetic tag for ottoman puppet Egypt

Then assign it on the history file

[slate fog]

The Russian splinter republics have reduced in size

German civil war now has only just broken out, with more messy borders

Britain owns Ulster

--Asia--

Compacted the Heavenly Kingdom's territory

Britain controls the Trucical States, Kuwait and Aden again

Spain controls the Phillipines at game start

Nejd now owns the northern Arabian Desert

Afghanistan owns Quetta

British India owns Kashmir

Let me know what you think

Ive always loved Apres Moi Le Deluge's lore, but the mod itself really shows its age

With very little flavor, cookie-cutter focus trees and now missing portraits

[slate fog]

Additionally, the mod is nostalgic as it was one of the first I ever played when I started playing back in 2017

[obtuse condor]

can somebody hep with installing a mod from github

[solemn iron]

interesting, man.
