[wind plume]

[prime jacinth]

wdym

[tiny heron]

I found out how to enable cheats in ironman

you remake every country in hoi4 but buff them

it isn’t cheats but it has the same effect

takes a hella of a long time

[gusty prawn]

Go into files and manually edit them

[prime jacinth]

i think i did a pretty good portrait of konrad adenauer, good practice

original picture

[gusty prawn]

I think it’s a bit too yellow but else it’s good

The face

[gusty prawn]

i mean if he had time he could just make the mod for you

[atomic quarry]

Historical Balance Mod isn't allowing me to select research?

[obsidian wren]

I am loosing my grip on reality

Why did paradox have to make the dlcs cost so much

La resistance literally costs the same as base game

My hoi4 became a glorified kaiserreich launcher

[prime jacinth]

no, duh

[prime jacinth]

just get the ones that add features then just play r56, the only dlc that u need is MTG, LR, NSB

the rest just add focus trees

[prime jacinth]

did see one called "napoleonic world" but it isnt updated for barbarossa

[plush crater]

ah i see

thank you

[prime jacinth]

[balmy thicket]

Hey guys! Can someone pls help me to make a mod wich add miore german generals to the game (I know there are a mod wich does the same but I want more : ))

[prime jacinth]

first you need to learn how to add generals into the game files and then portraits

idk

you can ask permission from the mod that adds more german generals to get their files and just build upon it, though

[balmy thicket]

yeah I only want that no more but i need someone to help

[obsidian wren]

Yeah but the DLC cost too much tbh

Last I checked La Resistance costed around the same as base game

[honest eagle]

???

Base game hoi4 is $40 USD. la resistance and All hoi4 dlc is $20 USD AND LOWER

[obsidian wren]

💀

Bro i live in a fucked up post Soviet country, the DLCs cost 80 for me

You could buy alot with that

I bought hoi4 when it was on sale

Like 75 off or something

[honest eagle]

F

[obtuse condor]

ima bet it’s ether belarus or poland

[obsidian wren]

ha

Poland

I hate living here.

[solid flare]

i love paradoxs regional cost
i bought hoi4 1.5 euro in sale
and dlc's around 1 2 euros

[honest eagle]

Wow that’s amazing

[solid flare]

yeah my countrys economy is amazing
when we looked our minimun wage its just a 250 dolar

we are poor

[obtuse condor]

poland is hell

belarus is sadness

their countries is so sad they rather not exist and just be russia

[honest eagle]

Ok guys let’s get off of modern day politics

[balmy thicket]

[obsidian wren]

[mild coral]

hey. how i can make good gfx images for focuses? I can make basic ones (using templates) but i really wanna make a picture like resurrect the megali idea focus. you know there are flags waving. how i can make waving flags of other nations such as liberia, or bolivia

[north wave]

you know the hoi4 gfx collection?

that has like the backgrounds in it

it has a waving flag template in it

just use something like gimp to access it

[obtuse condor]

Hah, you have not lived in another fucked up Soviet Country, named Hungary💀

[obsidian wren]

I've been to hungary

it was actually nice

i was there for 2 weeks

[obtuse condor]

For tourism sure

But for living🤣 🤣

i need help or else my mod is doomed

@neat needle ?

[neat needle]

[obsidian wren]

Can you help me

I tried replacing the map of my mod using a tutorial but when it launches for the guy it just gives me an error

saying i have map errors

but there's nothing in error.log

that's even related

we can go into like vc and i could show you the files

[neat needle]

can't vc rn sry i'm talking to friends rn

but ig i can try to help

[neat needle]

does it crash?

[obsidian wren]

yes

[neat needle]

and says you have errors in the map definition

[obsidian wren]

error.log only shows nonsense

[obsidian wren]

yes

[neat needle]

go here, go into the last file, see if you get any errors in logs --> error

Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\crashes

haven't ever replaced the map completely with a different one, idk how it works really but i can just guess what u need to do

[obsidian wren]

nothing but nonesense

no map stuff

[obsidian wren]

do you know some experienced modders who do

i really need help

or my project is doomed

[neat needle]

are you in the hoi4 modding coop/den servers? you could ask for help there

begone

[thorn fractal]

kaiserreich the best

[mild coral]

depends

[obtuse condor]

Anyone knows how to change a leaders name in NSB?I haven't found not one guide or video explaining how to do it

[mild coral]

do you mean like churchill?

[obtuse condor]

No,i am working on a private project

I am looking to replace william pedley or whatever his name was

the fascist leader who leads the US

But i am more asking how do i change a leaders name

[mild coral]

isn’t there common>leader_names folder

[obtuse condor]

from what i know there isn't

NSB has added a new file which stores all of the leaders names and all

but i can't find it

[mild coral]

maybe localisation? im not on my pc so i don’t know the files exactly

[obtuse condor]

i am going to check,thing is NSB has completely changed it

Back then you just get the usa.txt file or whatever and edit it there

[mild coral]

yeah

[obtuse condor]

i am checking localisation now,but i can't find anything so far

[mild coral]

i don’t know why (probably i accidentally edited the game files) my hoi4 is crashed. i’m reloading it

[obtuse condor]

I found something, is called nsb_characters_english.yml

[obtuse condor]

if you acidentally deleted them,check the trash bin

[mild coral]

yeah. does it say the names

[obtuse condor]

they may be there,then you can just restore them

[obtuse condor]

I am just gonna copy some of what it says

so yeah,names

Anyways, i have tried to edit it but it doesn't work

[mild coral]

yeah you need to find the localisation key for your caracther

then add the description

[obtuse condor]

i also have no idea how to add it into a mod

[obtuse condor]

how do i do that

ok so, i found this

" USA_william_dudley_pelley:0 "John Smith" "

is my attempt at re-naming it, but whenever i go back in game is still the same name

[mild coral]

yeah so change john smith not on the game file!

create a mod and then change it

[obtuse condor]

i already tried that

didn't work

[mild coral]

wait what

[obtuse condor]

that's why i am asking

i replaced it in the game file to see if it works or not

it didn't

[mild coral]

no idea why

[obtuse condor]

at first i thought just that the mod file just didn't work

[mild coral]

but try not to change game files

[obtuse condor]

so i just edited it directly

[obtuse condor]

I changed game files whenever i couldn't get it to work on a mod

I have backups tho

[mild coral]

dude

[mild coral]

oh ok

[obtuse condor]

Plus i only do minor changes, so if i lose the backup i can just re-do the change

Anyways,it doesn't work

No idea why but it simply doesn't

[mild coral]

🤷‍♂️ sorry for that

[obtuse condor]

Is there a HOI4 mod discord or something?

maybe i can try my luck there

[mild coral]

i don’t know about that

[obtuse condor]

Ah,damn

I'll try to find one

[mild coral]

maybe watch the iron workshop

on youtube

[mild coral]

k good luck

[obtuse condor]

i am gonna go on the hoi4 modding on reddit

they may have one

[mild coral]

yeah there are some good stuff there

[obtuse condor]

found it

there is a discord for it

and i joined it

imma try there

[mild coral]

can you dm me the link?

i really stuck with something too

[obtuse condor]

Ok sure

Also,i may help

It depends on what the problem is

[mild coral]

so i tried to create like states

[obtuse condor]

Oh, alright

[mild coral]

us states such as vermont or new hampshire

i added the localisation keys, provinces and everything

[obtuse condor]

Alright,go ahead

[mild coral]

it works on nudge tool too, there seems no problem

but when i try to open in single player it crashes

[obtuse condor]

can you give the error.log?

i can't help you without it

[mild coral]

i also checked the error.log but just says missing equipment (cuz i dont have the packs)

[obtuse condor]

Oh

[mild coral]

gfx

[obtuse condor]

I still want the error.log

I can look through it and i'll see if i i find something

[mild coral]

i deletd the mod 😅

cuz i was really mad

files and everything

[obtuse condor]

ah damn

[mild coral]

it was working tho before nsb

[obtuse condor]

Ah,well you know

NSB completely broke modding

[mild coral]

yeah :|

[obtuse condor]

It like re-writed everything

That's why i barely started to learn modding

Cause i wouldn't have to switch from old modding to new modding

And thus it'll save me a lot of stress

[mild coral]

i gotcha

[obtuse condor]

Also, a guy helped me with the leader names

seems like he found the right file

[mild coral]

great

which one was that

[obtuse condor]

it was in common/characters/usa

[mild coral]

oh

[obtuse condor]

seems like it'll work

i am gonna go ahead and try it now

[mild coral]

good luck with that

[obtuse condor]

Is east

easy

USA_william_dudley_pelley={

[lament wedge]

anyone got a mod where I have full control of my puppet no matter what

change its name

change its flag

change its color

[craggy palm]

is there a mod which lets you puppet faction members with pp (with some requirements) if you are the faction leader?

[obsidian wren]

What?

That's basically really hard to do

The puppet function is diplomatic and industrial only

[lament wedge]

is there an already existing mod

where I can change my puppet name

and stuff

[obsidian wren]

Colors, name and flag depend on cores and ideology

You cant change that

Not a mod as far as I'm aware

america and canada both tore themselves apart, just at different times and under way different circumstances

[obtuse condor]

Anybody who can teach me how to develop mods for HOI4, or at least know any websites/tutorials? I have a few scenarios I wanna bring to life and test

[timber lagoon]

Such as?

Could be people already made the one you're thinking of

[sinful umbra]

theres some modding guides on youtube

may not completely cover what you're looking for

but it could be a decent start

[obtuse condor]

Alr, any specific videos, since the whole, y'know, dislike button being removed it could be hard looking for a reliable turorial?

[sinful umbra]

that question would best be reserved for someone other than me

[obtuse condor]

Alr, thx anyway

[valid grove]

the iron workshop

is good channel

and uh

[obtuse condor]

Kind of like my own Zombie scenario. I know there is already a Zombie infection mod, but I haven't gotten it to work and I kinda wanna make my own scenario on a Zombie apocalypse

What is the "Committee for Civil Defense of America" flag from?

[obtuse condor]

Idk, I never got it to work. Imma try to run it again this weekend

I know, I meant what mod is it from

[sinful umbra]

its my own project im working on

hasn't been released yet

[sinful umbra]

an update of the political map

[obtuse condor]

Ooh, what's it about?

[sinful umbra]

the near-future collapse of america, and to a lesser extent canada, and how the world adapts to a world without a superpower

[obtuse condor]

Wow, just my cup of tea. Do you have a set release date yet?

[sinful umbra]

not yet but the production is going fairly smoothly

morale is high so the mod isnt likely to be stopped anytime soon

[obtuse condor]

Nice. Well, I gtg soon, so good luck on the mod, and let me know when it's finished so I can install it

[sinful umbra]

Hi guys

I'm having a problem with localisation

I can add custom characters to my mod, but their names appear in game a GER_insert_name

Even though I have created them in the localisation file

Any ideas?

[midnight umbra]

Hey broski´s, i would REALLY appreciate if i could get help with what seems like a simple problem
Im new to modding and i can admit im being a lil too ambitious for my skills but it has worked until this point.
For some reason my descriptor mod doesnt work anymore and my mod doesnt load, however it is obvious the game attempts to run it since the game takes a lot longer to load when its activated
This is the error i get "dlc.cpp:1930" and then it says that the descriptor either doesnt have a path or doesnt exist
Im free at any time, so if any very kind soul decides they wanna help, that would be greatly appreciated.

[midnight umbra]

that mod looks sick btw

Egyptian navy fetish

[midnight umbra]

that is sooooo cursed

[lofty plaza]

How so?

[midnight umbra]

"The mighty egyptian armada"

[lofty plaza]

Egypt has 6th largest navy in the world today

And also had a pretty respectable one in ww2

You know because holding the most important trade link in the world comes with it some responsibilities

[midnight umbra]

I mean yeah today, but in ww2 if i remember correctly wasnt it mostly gunboats?

But still, my point of it being cursed is the same as saying "The Finnish airpower" sure they had planes etc and they helped but its still cursed 💀

[lofty plaza]

Mostly minesweepers, but they had some heavy cruisers too

@peak ridge Hey if you have any experience in modding it would greatly be appreciated if i could get some help with my mod, this is basically the error i get everytime
There is a reward too, name any 15euro or less game and its urs if u help :)

my descriptor file

[winged wing]

Is it hardcoded to only allow the type=carrier to hold aircraft. I can get the deck size to display during research and production but not when looking at the combat stats and will not allow me to add aircraft. I am trying to require aircraft catapults to accept two CV aircraft.

[daring mauve]

just remove the _v1 maybe in the name

[midnight umbra]

The mod is named v1 tho?

[daring mauve]

yeah rename it

I think thats the problem

[midnight umbra]

ah ok, will try thanks

[daring mauve]

[turbid pagoda]

More importantly what are you doing to Germany

[obsidian wren]

[wary geyser]

R56 is a banger

[honest eagle]

[craggy hare]

There is another focus under it so it looks super weird

[balmy thicket]

Hi guys can someone help me to add generálás in game

[merry jacinth]

hello, im making a small little mod that adds some decisions and was wondering if it is possible to make decisions only usable ONCE PER WAR. so that once you are at peace and another war starts, you can do it again

[honest eagle]

Palestine’s gambit

[timber lagoon]

Thanks

eoot17

Aren't you a mod tho

[honest eagle]

Well

Blocked

[timber lagoon]

Oh well sorry for pointing out the obvious

anyway

[gusty prawn]

Did you actually?

[gusty prawn]

Yea no shit it’s obvious that’s the point

[timber lagoon]

I don't think he did (Or so I hope)

[obtuse condor]

Are there mods that make the game longer than 1949

[honest eagle]

Nah

[gusty prawn]

ok i was concerned there

[timber lagoon]

Wait what

The game doesn't cap off at 1949 does it?

[gusty prawn]

nah

well

kinda

[timber lagoon]

wdym "kinda"

I've seen people play till 2020 (somehow)

[gusty prawn]

you get a endscreen

and two options

[timber lagoon]

ah like Stellaris victory year

[gusty prawn]

play further

[timber lagoon]

or call it a day

[gusty prawn]

yea

[timber lagoon]

Just a wild guess, does Road to 56 extend the endscreen to 1956?

[obtuse condor]

hey is there anyway i can lock a genera for a specific ideology?

[sinful umbra]

hoi4 doesnt force you to quit unlike say vic2

however playing it past 1949 is just painful

[honest eagle]

Ig can go on forever

Just a pain like Texas maaan said

[sinful umbra]

looking for someone capable of assisting in working with nudge and hoi4 map modding

[royal pelican]

Is there an asia only mod for hoi4?

[opaque glen]

I wanna remake the mod endsieg so it’s up to date and only contains 1943 to 1945. How do I get rid of france and replace it with Free France?

[white gale]

I think its called Magna Asia

But I heard that it's glitchy and crashes

Or you could try the Warlord Era mod

But it's no longer updating

So you'll have to change your game version to 1.10.8

[wind ember]

theres a 60 years mod

[opaque glen]

how do I make a new starting time?

Is there an up-to-date mod that allows fighter and heavy fighters perform CAS?

[wild pumice]

Damn where'd you find that?

[honest eagle]

DOTN TOUCH MAIN GAME FOLDER

[opaque glen]

ok

[opaque glen]

[wild pumice]

This should look interesting for Nazi Germany since they are being pushed back by the start of that modded game

[opaque glen]

yes, since HOI4 made Germany OP I have to make the germans weaker and the soviets stronger…

[wild pumice]

True

I’m also gonna have Japan and china borders in 1943

[opaque glen]

How do I fix this problem with my mod?

[craggy hare]

You gotta edit the interface folder

In your mod

[opaque glen]

e ok

[opaque glen]

Do I have to use paint.net or photoshop to stretch it out or something?

[valid grove]

you can use both

just edit the dimentions

of the thing

but it will probably look bad when its streched

[opaque glen]

ok I am an artist so I can deal with streching problems

[valid grove]

cool

Any mods for transportation? I have issues when doing it with a convoy, would be nicer to immediately move 5 groups of 50 to France

[zealous herald]

Are you allowed to use trainers for singleplayer?

[valid grove]

yes

not on multiplayer though

[valid grove]

paint.net

or photoshop extension

just make a png and save it as a dds

[exotic axle]

i opened it earlier xD

with paint.net

[valid grove]

cool

[exotic axle]

it took me 30 min since i have like 30 art programs in my pc

[obtuse condor]

making a tuscany tree

[honest eagle]

looks good

but tbh dont use hoi4modding.com

[obtuse condor]

too late now

[opaque glen]

can someone send me all the state numbers for france?

I need this for my mod.

[honest eagle]

heres a gift

[obtuse condor]

can anyone help me with the political tree

like

suggestions?

[opaque glen]

thanks

I just need a magnifying glass

[honest eagle]

you can y'know go into your browser and zoom in

[valid grove]

options to go different ideologies and join factions

[obtuse condor]

very fitting username

[prime jacinth]

i think this was a good first attempt at a TWR style portrait

[night salmon]

heres an idea for a mod

its an expansion/minimod to modern war or whatever it is, and it starts in 2025.
so the mod centers around texas right, and in this alt history texas, after braving the winter storm of 2022 as democratic states fell to it, began to grow all the more angry and dissatisfied with the state of the union

[prime jacinth]

germany wins ww2

[night salmon]

so they try to secede

but congress bogged it all down with bureaucracy to keep them in as long as possible

even still, texas still managed to become 'the soverign state of Texas' witg the us as its protectorate

but texas gets angrier and angrier bout how close them yanks be gettin to our farms...

president Abbott and vice president Trump grow more irate by the day

so yeah thats it

just have texas be its own soverign state or whatever at the start of 2025 in modern war, and make the necessary status changes and buffs to make it happen. just give them a garbage national focus, it dont matter

[prime jacinth]

release texas as an independent nation in millenium dawn

[lilac plume]

something with economy and that you can choose to go facist communist or democratic

[gusty prawn]

Why is Corsica state one

[honest eagle]

Bc Corsica is #1

[unborn smelt]

can someone help me with modding hoi4? i want to know what requirements I need inorder to mod hoi4

and for the mods to work of course

[opaque glen]

you need to create the mod in the launcher first. You need paint.net, file explorer, and notepad+. For your mod to work on Barbarossa, put everything in the localization folder and make a folder in it called english. Then put whatever in there.

[obtuse condor]

Can someone tell why is it needed to code

And also how to code?

I really wanna make a mod

[opaque glen]

What?

[obtuse condor]

Why is it needed to code for a mod

[opaque glen]

Modding HOI4 doesn’t need coding

it’s more just changing the variable

[obtuse condor]

Ah I see

[opaque glen]

I recommend watching the iron workshop on youtube

[obtuse condor]

Also I need to open a file to start modding right

[obtuse condor]

Got it

[opaque glen]

he will explain how to get started much better than I can

[obtuse condor]

Ok

[opaque glen]

https://tenor.com/view/gamer-gif-19988235

[obtuse condor]

Lol

[opaque glen]

much copying and pasting

I have made this mod (which is still in development lol)

[obtuse condor]

I’m watching the Iron workshop

[opaque glen]

cool

[opaque glen]

make sure to check the comments because when the barbarossa update came out he posted comments on all of his videos on how to make it work with 1.11+

[obtuse condor]

And what’s the current version?

Of HOI4 rn

[opaque glen]

Barbarossa 1.11.5 I think

[obtuse condor]

I see

I’m excited

I maybe got a little too excited

[opaque glen]

it takes a lot of time trust me

[obtuse condor]

Like what? 2 weeks?

Or months?

[opaque glen]

Depends on what your mod is

if it is like millennium dawn then probably months

[obtuse condor]

It’s different

[opaque glen]

If it’s small then maybe a few weeks

I’ve worked on mine for 6 days now

Nowhere near done

[obtuse condor]

I’m making a mod where basically video game companies (Mojang,Epic Games,etc.) are nations

[opaque glen]

So basically alternative history?

[gusty prawn]

I guess you’re right

[opaque glen]

That’s gonna take a while

[obtuse condor]

Kinda?

[opaque glen]

Yeah e good luck

[gusty prawn]

Fortnite should be a puppet of epic games

[opaque glen]

Mine enhances 1943-1948

[obtuse condor]

or I can probably make video games being nations

[gusty prawn]

Or however you spell it

[obtuse condor]

Which is accurate

[gusty prawn]

Exactly

Make the map a pc

A personal computer

[obtuse condor]

I wonder how to do that

[gusty prawn]

I think eoot knows

Right @honest eagle?

[honest eagle]

Idk lol

Probs a hard thing to do

[jaunty crow]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2741490634

[obtuse condor]

Uhuh

[unborn smelt]

but I don't want to make an mod, I want to implanment other mods

but hey thanks for letting me know how to make mods

[opaque glen]

oh go to paradox website and go to hoi4 mods workshop

And install

[unborn smelt]

that's it?

[opaque glen]

yea

[unborn smelt]

i thought you needed alot of shit for mods to work

[opaque glen]

If you use steam go to workshop and find your mod and download

[unborn smelt]

like example gta games or stalker, and i think half life also

thanks alot man, I appreciate it alot

[opaque glen]

no you just need to make sure it’s compatible with the version of the game

[opaque glen]

np

It’s really easy to do

[unborn smelt]

[opaque glen]

HOI4 is built for mods

[unborn smelt]

can someone send a link of millenium dawn

aka popular modern day mod

[valid grove]

[valid phoenix]

[unborn smelt]

[obtuse condor]

Can someone explain what I do

[gusty prawn]

Go to the iron workshop

Should be pinned

It is

[obtuse condor]

ok

I have one question tho

[odd sundial]

[gusty prawn]

I don’t mod I only direct them towards another person or the iron workshop which is recommended by that other person

[gusty prawn]

Tno

[obtuse condor]

[gusty prawn]

[gloomy hornet]

Hello

[opaque glen]

Find your HOI4 files where you installed them

[gloomy hornet]

I am just starting modding, and need some assistance with something

I know how to add a nation , what i dont know is how to remove one

Im trying to add prussia but the german capital is in the way

also units stay in the new country

eg.

There are still german units in pomerania even though its prussian

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[obtuse condor]

You mean in my files?

Like my files in macbook

where the data is stored

right?

[opaque glen]

yea

[obtuse condor]

got it

now what

[opaque glen]

just copy what you want from the game and put it in your mod. then you can modify it

make sure you have an exact replica of the file directory with the correct names or it will not work

[obtuse condor]

wait tell me what i do when i open my hoi4 document

from the start

so i can process it for my small dumb stupid brain

[gloomy hornet]

Does that apply to me?

In which case that would mean ild have to copy over everything that has the tag "GER"

also how do i set it so a country has no capital

as in its removed

[honest eagle]

heyo!

[obtuse condor]

can i have some help with the game files?

[honest eagle]

whatcha need

[obtuse condor]

knowledge on how to open the files

or like which file

to open the map

[honest eagle]

@gloomy hornet i would watch this video, it explains how to give countries states https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XulAELfxPDc

[obtuse condor]

to make a country and stuff

[gloomy hornet]

Thats the video i watched

[honest eagle]

i would watch that video for you as well

[gloomy hornet]

they pop up on the map fine

Its the existing nations im having trouble with

[honest eagle]

ok

[gloomy hornet]

I keep getting errors as germany has no capital

[obtuse condor]

does it show how to open the map game file

[honest eagle]

so for that, you wnat to just keep adding states you want your country to have

i would ignore errors for now

[gloomy hornet]

ok

[honest eagle]

?

[gloomy hornet]

also german troops start in prussian territory

[obtuse condor]

sorry i forgot add some words in my sentence there

[honest eagle]

you need to edit the .obb (or oob i forgot) file to change units

[gloomy hornet]

ok

where is that

[honest eagle]

yes it should, also should show you have to make a country

[obtuse condor]

i wanna name the units "Gamers" Lol

[honest eagle]

history/units

[obtuse condor]

thanks man

[honest eagle]

np

[honest eagle]

lol

[gloomy hornet]

so would i just delete the lot?

[honest eagle]

in your country files yes NEVER mess with main game files

[gloomy hornet]

as i want to redo the whole map

[honest eagle]

like add new continents

[gloomy hornet]

no

Just slap on nations

not historically

Just sort of random nations on a map

Eg prussia , Byzantium

[honest eagle]

ok you do the same thing you would for the country you did before

[gloomy hornet]

What do i do in the file?

Also there is no .oob file

they are all .txt

[honest eagle]

1 sec

your right i was thinking about portraits

[gloomy hornet]

Ive copyed them into a new "Units" folder

Then ive deleted the text inside

[honest eagle]

your going to rename the GER_1936 to Your country tag_1936

[gloomy hornet]

yes, but thats the problem

its not just prussia in germany

[honest eagle]

that SHOULD in theory give all the german units in 1936 to your country

ok

you need to find the provinces the units are in and copy and paste them to your countrys unit file

[gloomy hornet]

meaning there would be prussian troops in bavaria

[honest eagle]

yea

[gloomy hornet]

i mean, just prussia with germanys starting army would be pretty based

[gloomy hornet]

that will take a while

hmm

[honest eagle]

modding takes awhile

[gloomy hornet]

This is what im going for

A map i made in aoc2

Absolute chaos

[obtuse condor]

ummm..

@honest eagle I need help

So basically

im watching the video

the thing is.

i dont have the "steam>steamapps>common"

cuz im on a macbook

So that's a problem..

[honest eagle]

ok go to steam

[gloomy hornet]

I did that and they are still german

[honest eagle]

right click hoi4, go to manage, and go to local game files

[honest eagle]

err

mind if i help later? at a thing rn

[gloomy hornet]

ok

[obtuse condor]

steam?

[honest eagle]

srry

[honest eagle]

you do have the game on steam right?

[obtuse condor]

yea

i have steam open

now what? @honest eagle

[honest eagle]

right click hoi4, go to manage, and go to local game files

[obtuse condor]

yea. i already did that

i almost messed a game file in the process

[honest eagle]

Ok now you should be in the game files and the video will work

[honest eagle]

Oh no

[obtuse condor]

but i fixed it

[honest eagle]

Ok good

[obtuse condor]

so now about the color

also i dont understand graphical culture

what does it mean?

@honest eagle

[gloomy hornet]

Still no,

they still appear in prussia

[honest eagle]

What’s that?

;-;

[obtuse condor]

something in the country files

[honest eagle]

I would ignore for now

[obtuse condor]

btw before you ask me

yes i copied the country file

instead of using the game's offical file

[obtuse condor]

ok

[honest eagle]

Goooood

[obtuse condor]

So now the guy copied a colors file

i dont see it in the local files

[honest eagle]

It’s in general -> countries

[obtuse condor]

oh

[honest eagle]

You should follow where he goes

[obtuse condor]

do i open the common folder?

[obtuse condor]

i am

but it's that he goes like sonic

[obtuse condor]

btw where's the general file?

[honest eagle]

Can you send a screenshot of the files? I’m out in a event irl rn

[honest eagle]

Yeah

[obtuse condor]

Ill send a pic on my phone

here or dms?

so here's a video instead

[gloomy hornet]

German units are still in prussia

[obtuse condor]

i wonder why

[obtuse condor]

@honest eagle Here you go btw

[lofty plaza]

common/countries to change country colours

[obtuse condor]

yea i got that

[lofty plaza]

It uses RGB for it

[obtuse condor]

yea i already changed that to my mod

[lofty plaza]

So what's the problem?

[obtuse condor]

i cant find the colors folder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XulAELfxPDc&list=PLt_7vUaEvaGTJ0ISBqY2v4EyfmPALiVS7&index=7

[lofty plaza]

common/countries

It uses RGB codes
