theres plenty of LGBTQ rep in the Hoi4 modding den

[sullen marsh]

how can i replace a generic tree with a unique one in a country like tannu tuva

i just dont know where to make it use this new tree

nvm i got it

[sullen marsh]

im learning lol it's actually not that hard

much easier than learning a programming language

[shrewd hemlock]

Indeed.

And it is lots of fun too! ^.^

@distant oracle You wanted to see stuff from my mod?
I will show a few things from my work on Germany. Still WIP.

Most of the focuses that you can recognize from the base game are changed heavily.

There are lots of negative modifiers that Germany starts with and needs to figure out.
There are events about not enough workforce, the MEFO bills shrink your economy, and the Autobahn focus unlocks decisions to build up the infrastructure.

At the start of the game you have a mission set to expire in a few months representing the elections that were held in Germany in 1936 which you can influence by remilitarizing the Rheinland and other focuses.

You also start with a historical non-aggression pact with Poland.
After the remilitarization of the Rhineland, you have an event how Hitler explains to the French how he felt pressed to remilitarize the Rhineland because of a treaty for cooperation between France and the USSR the previous year.

If the french accept the nap from Hitler, world tension is reduced. If not, a border conflict might follow up.

Details like that are sprinkled in all my focus trees.

As I said, I make very good mods.

[bleak cedar]

[raven field]

good morning

[shrewd hemlock]

Good morning!

[shrewd hemlock]

I think you need to open Nudge and set up the airfields for these states.

Also the rocket sites...

[bleak cedar]

in the building tab?

Crap

[shrewd hemlock]

What is it, Battleship?

[bleak cedar]

lets just say I've been having problems with it, the buildings tab, for over an year now. Base game its fine, but every time I try to used in my overhual mod. It just simply does not work. I tried to ask help on this several times and so far, none.

[shrewd hemlock]

Hmm...

When did the errors started to show up?

[bleak cedar]

these errors only started to show after the NSB came out.

[shrewd hemlock]

Like... You have new states or all of a sudden they started to show up?

[bleak cedar]

I created news states, new countries, new regions

in short, its a overhual mod base on a game called ace combat

some of the errors did suddenly started to show up, but most of the errors were either outdated or I didn't fix it yet.

[shrewd hemlock]

Hmm...

Usually when there is a new DLC that adds new states, I have a lot to fix.

Maybe the solution is to make sure all provinces, states, supply regions, etc

are where they should be.

[bleak cedar]

maybe

only one way to find out

[tidal cradle]

Any way for an uprising to overthrow hitler?

[cyan oasis]

is it possible to (temporarily) hide UI elements? like the entire mapmode panel on the bottom right corner of the screen? and disable the key shortcuts that usually open them while we're at it?

[shrewd hemlock]

That is already in the game.

You don't need my mod for it. 😅

I think there are 3 ways to actually remove Hitler from power...

One is to do the Oppose Hitler focus, the other is to hire Himler as an advisor and give him what he wants, and third was a civil war that pops up if the Munich Crisis starts.

Last one I see super rarely that I am not sure if this is how it happens.

[zenith urchin]

There’s a fourth way. Hiring a communist advisor and starting a civil war

[shrewd hemlock]

Well shoot... I forgot about the most basic way.

😅

For my fascist path for Bulgaria I remove the trait from the Fascist Demagoge to prevent civil war exploits.

Make the civil war happen only in a specific way.

Best way to make sure the player does not bypass a big chunk of your focus tree requirements just like that.

So I made the former Fascist Demagoge for Bulgaria more useful.
And you unlock him either via a focus or by boosting the faction.
One is if you go the fascist path and the other is for the monarchy.

It does not trigger the decisions for changing the government cause they require
to have the fascist demagoge trait.

So you unlock him only if you cooperate with the faction before the coup.

And if you choose to cooperate with the Zveno,
a civil war will happen when you do Depose the Tsar focus.

It is because one faction was pro-monarchist, and the other wanted to remove the tsar entirely.

And if I leave the player have the option to just make a civil war himself

it will bug out several focuses. @.@

[obtuse condor]

I suggest creating a channel that has all the official mods discord server invites like how the other paradox discord servers have too

[obtuse condor]

help me my mods not running what should i do

?

please

[umbral panther]

I was going to make a bulgarian overhaul

anyway

[shrewd hemlock]

Oh, do it anyways.

If it is what you have fun with.

At the time I started to do my first Bulgaria mod (PillBox20's Bulgaria in Steam) there were 3 mods for Bulgaria, all fairly well done for the time.

[umbral panther]

Nah I played ur mod, really enjoyed, but I'm working on a overhaul

[shrewd hemlock]

Now if you write in Google Hearts of Iron 4 Bulgaria mod:

[umbral panther]

I kept bulgarian work aside

[shrewd hemlock]

You will get two of my links.

[umbral panther]

I got a brand new portrait of Boris (Can send u)

[shrewd hemlock]

I also got a few high quality portraits for the mod too.

For some of my modding help in another mod.

Age of a New Beginning. Made the Greek Army branch.

(this is my take on it, the author changed it a bit for his own mod)

I say it is 10 times better than the BftB Greek Army Branch
as it has national spirits, decisions, events, the focuses interact with each other in unique ways to give more benefits if you complete them in a specific order

and most of all, they are historical.

[obtuse condor]

?

[clever goblet]

does the hoi4 peace deals mod allow me to make peace with faraway majors aka britain?

[umbral panther]

I'm looking for people to work on a large overhaul as co-workers, every one with at least some modding experience is welcome, dm me if interested

[sullen marsh]

is there a general modding discord for hoi4? like how for the sc2 editor we have the sc2mapster discord just for modding

[shrewd hemlock]

The Iron Workshop, I guess...

[worthy narwhal]

Yes there is

[worthy narwhal]

There are two large ones, the hoi4 modding den which is better for people learning and the Hoi4 coop which is where a lot of the larger mod teams congregate

[sullen marsh]

thank you guys

[buoyant dove]

(also the official r/hoi4modding one) ☝️

[summer mortar]

Please see Rule 9

[worthy narwhal]

Considering we're a big part of what makes this game popular I'd say it should be outside of just an advertising clause

Especially as it wasn't advertising, it was in response to a question of what servers there are for general modding

[summer mortar]

You are welcome to DM people who request so but no server links posted please 🙂

[worthy narwhal]

There was 0 self promotion

[summer mortar]

If you have an issue with this please Dm the @timid bronze but we have rules saying to not post discord links regardless

[worthy narwhal]

Continuing to put a splinter between the modding community which is already incredibly on knifes edge is not going to be helpful here

[summer mortar]

As i say please Dm the @timid bronze if you have an issue with this or suggestions for changes

[worthy narwhal]

I'm not dming your suggestion box bot which means nothing

[summer mortar]

Hm? If you want something to change its the best way

Dming the bot doesnt do nothing

[worthy narwhal]

I've been in direct correspondence with Katten, so I'll go through that route

But damn man, this is a perfect example of why the modding side is really really tired with the PDX side

Considering every issue just gets met with "DM the bot" it's quite clear it's gonna be swamped

[summer mortar]

We deal with all the tickets raised by the bot

[worthy narwhal]

At the end of the day you consider the tools which teach players how to become modders as self advertising

Which is kind of a huge indictment of how PDX views its modding community

[summer mortar]

No i consider that discord links are against the rules and delete them

nothing to do with the modding community

Now please dm the bot if you have an issue or move on

[worthy narwhal]

Really making the community closer

[shrewd hemlock]

Come on, it is PDX server, but rules are rules.
Arguing with the moderators will get you nowhere.
Send links in DMs and all is fine.

I don't like it, but the mods are just doing their "job".

[worthy narwhal]

Oh yeah they do it for free ❤️

Forgot that

[shrewd hemlock]

Which is even more sad. XD

BUT back to modding!

MAN, Germany could use a really good rework, am I right?!

[worthy narwhal]

Overzealous moderators dividing communities is a tale as old as discord at this point

[shrewd hemlock]

Anyone here working on a Germany Rework mod?

😅

[worthy narwhal]

Plenty of them in the modding den

[buoyant dove]

Check out r/hoi4modding

The pinned subreddit

Every post there gets a link to the Modding Den in the auto reply anyway

[worthy narwhal]

^

[shrewd hemlock]

Interesting...

[worthy narwhal]

Something which should honestly be more obvious on this server considering PDX wants to encourage modders

(or at least they do on paper)

[shrewd hemlock]

I am all for close cooperation with the modding community and the devs.

Even asked one of them if we can expect that.

Got the shortest answer ever...

[raven field]

@thin chasm I'm back, you can continue

[shrewd hemlock]

And understood nothing out of it.

🙃

[worthy narwhal]

Yeah the Den which is the largest discord atm for learning modding tried to contact the community team and were ignored

Like 3 times

[shrewd hemlock]

Similar. And that was when BftB was being developed.
Wrote a few E-mails explaining how I could help since I know so much about one of the countries in that DLC.

No reply.

[worthy narwhal]

At one point in the coop, a few of us were considering just pulling our mods from the workshop as a form of strike

[shrewd hemlock]

Next thing I see, some of the work from my Bulgaria mod at the time, was in the DLC.

Got very furious about it.

[shrewd hemlock]

Actually a smart idea.

But not sure how people will reach them like in the Workshop.

Steam Workshop is very easy to access.

[worthy narwhal]

This would be from the workshop, just replacing them briefly with empty mods

This included CWIC which at the time was the 3rd most played mod iirc

[shrewd hemlock]

Yeah, but why?

The players are the ones who use the workshop the most.

[worthy narwhal]

Ignored on the forums a lot over simple things

Typically it was more knowledge of updates

So that the mods didn't get swamped instantly because of weird line changes

I did however manage to get in contact with Katten recently about a lot of the issues that Modders had on the code side

Which is a good step forward I think for helping bridge the community

[shrewd hemlock]

Who is Katten?

[summer mortar]

Can you please raise anything like this via the bot? its the best way to contact the community team

i get if your talking with katten but its still best first steps for new things

[worthy narwhal]

Isn't the bot mainly going towards the moderation team

[summer mortar]

we can escalate to community team

[worthy narwhal]

Because like, not to be disrespectful, but a lot of the moderation team seems to have come from outside the HOI4 side of the community

[buoyant dove]

Will DM the bot

[summer mortar]

thanks

[worthy narwhal]

So I fear that it will be overlooked once more as these things often are by moderators

Yeah, been speaking with Tom about a message to it

[buoyant dove]

oops

Bot gave me an error

[round oracle]

Hahahah.

[summer mortar]

We've come from elsewhere to set the server up, but the ones here are all modderators elsewhere and know how to do the job 🙂

[worthy narwhal]

It's not about doing the job, it's about knowing the community for me

[round oracle]

Erhm, 'job'

[summer mortar]

if folks wish they can apply to be a mod, recruitment is open 🙂

[worthy narwhal]

We've had a lot of issues in the community with "pro moderators" making things much worse than they were to begin with

[summer mortar]

#server-news

[worthy narwhal]

Rules said it was closed, so I thought it still was

[summer mortar]

Hm, will check that out, they are still open 🙂

[worthy narwhal]

Also bot is spitting out an error

[summer mortar]

I cant speak for other moderators but i try to work with the community within the rules

[summer mortar]

can you dm me the error?

[worthy narwhal]

The message is too long apparently

Tom Bricks is the one writing it up

[summer mortar]

yeah i see the ticket

thought you were talking about raising another ticket 🙂

[stuck mist]

We've been ignored multiple times when we sent official messaged

[shrewd hemlock]

Maybe the guys are low on manpower. 😅

It is a job for free, so they have to work actual jobs to get a life.

One is gonna take priority over the other.

But I will stop with trying to find excuses.

I have been ignored plenty by PDX to try to be nice to them.

[worthy narwhal]

I moderate the Coop, and work at the same time

and with a mod team this sized it shouldn't be an issue

[shrewd hemlock]

I mod, work, maintain a YouTube channel, and help my family at the same time.

[worthy narwhal]

Especially for a company that pulled in 115m as profit last December

[shrewd hemlock]

Yes-yes. I get ya.

Imagine if some random event in my life suddenly bypassed the focus "Get a Girlfriend".

Cause I think this will be too much for me. XD

[summer mortar]

via tickets?

[worthy narwhal]

Try a Fiancé

[shrewd hemlock]

And not the baby decisions!

😱

[buoyant dove]

#hoi1-modding wen

[worthy narwhal]

Thankfully my Girlfriend and I have agreed no baby until we're 28

[buoyant dove]

At first we did not (until now, of course) but we also initally recieved a response from Katten that indicated we wouldn't have to use it but we are now so 😅

[shrewd hemlock]

Ha, I made it to 29 a few days ago. 😅

My focus to get a gf always cancels out for some reason.

But at this point, I am too busy with my own stuff to bother anymore.

Work, have fun, take care of the family, enjoy my life.

Mod, make YouTube videos...

[buoyant dove]

when you dont have a girlfriend

you can always just take the lonely continous focus

[obtuse condor]

🙂

[buoyant dove]

or perhaps switch your sexuality law and hope you can get access to more characters

[shrewd hemlock]

Nah, lonely is my thing. 😅

It is a decision (mission) that repeats itself, but it has been working for so long that I don't mind it anymore.

So my focus slot is free to choose.

I always find something to do, so I am never bored or lonely.

[buoyant dove]

omg its the american civil war

[glad wolf]

Why can’t Africa have provinces like Europe it just ruins it

[halcyon schooner]

it does in my mod

[glad wolf]

I see Sahara

What your mod

[halcyon schooner]

Prometheus Has Fallen, it's not public yet though

[glad wolf]

What is it about

[halcyon schooner]

Basically WW1 results in everyone losing their colonies and no real winner

[glad wolf]

Bruh

[worthy narwhal]

It also has many more provinces above

[glad wolf]

Where does promethious come into it

[halcyon schooner]

Prometheus is seen by some as the god of civilization and because the British Empire fell, Prometheus has fallen

well, rhetorically speaking the British Empire fell

[glad wolf]

Alright

[halcyon schooner]

anyway, the dev diaries should explain it better than I can right now in a few messages

[buoyant dove]

everyone gansta till prometheus rises instead

[worthy narwhal]

A now outdated state map of mine

[halcyon schooner]

how many states are that?

[worthy narwhal]

I can't quite remember off the top of my head but we're more than double vanilla

[halcyon schooner]

True, Great Britain has "Prometheus Has Fallen" as a NS after all

[buoyant dove]

just count them

[halcyon schooner]

such as?

[buoyant dove]

FreeRam32gb.exe

[worthy narwhal]

All our releasables aren't there to begin with, and instead use special casus belli/mechanics to reveal themselves

Saving us speed with on_daily scopes

[halcyon schooner]

meaning they have no cores at the start of the game?

[worthy narwhal]

Yes

[halcyon schooner]

didn't know that non-existing countries still impacted performance that much

[worthy narwhal]

If they have cores the engine checks them

We also have division limiting for certain ai types

Some will bypass it and take the hit for more numbers but most will get buffs for having a smaller higher trained force

[halcyon schooner]

how much do decisions impact performance?

[worthy narwhal]

lighter than events

variables are the lightest iirc

it depends on your scopes though

[halcyon schooner]

does the visibility of the decision impact performance?

[buoyant dove]

so what you are saying is to make a mod only out of variables

[halcyon schooner]

make a mod only out of 0s and 1s

[worthy narwhal]

Im not quite sure about visibility, the availability can be a pain though

[worthy narwhal]

Probably could

[buoyant dove]

Does it help if you narrow down the allowed quite a bit

[worthy narwhal]

afaik it still checks them all to see if they have the allowed

[buoyant dove]

Doesn't the allowed only ever get checked when the game begins/TAG is spawned

[worthy narwhal]

Oh ye

on_daily checks are the worst

[halcyon schooner]

good I'm not really doing anything with on_daily then

[keen pagoda]

isnt there a ww1 mod for 1.11.9?

[wet jay]

what is the best ai division limit mod?

my late game rly lags, even if i put in "ai" and "deleteallunits" into console

Hi everyone !

There are among you connoisseurs for the paths on the seas (for example the strait of gibraltar or dardanelles). I would like to know if there is a way to change the texture of the path

[obtuse condor]

what in the millenium dawn

[turbid snow]

😐

[gloomy vortex]

Don't ping moderation unnecessarily.

[turbid snow]

^

however I will say, I quite like music mods

particularly Soldiers Radio

[gloomy vortex]

That said, EaW.

[rain plaza]

Old World Blues is also pretty nice

[harsh bone]

I thought I was engaging with the server, sorry for asking you.

[turbid snow]

you can certainly engage us, however pinging moderation outside of absolutely necessary instances isn't appropriate. but definitely ask us these things without the ping, and we'd be happy to answer :)

[eternal yacht]

Their reaction makes sense considering none of them seem to understand the community or are even active in it lol.

[harsh bone]

Other moderators, what are your favourite hoi4 mods?

[buoyant dove]

my favourite mod is totalsieg 2021

[stone sedge]

EaW is a great mod

[worthy narwhal]

My Favourite mod is Lego Mod

Banned

[buoyant dove]

solve the x crossing problem mitch

[obtuse condor]

hoi4 mod but the eu4 scripts are entirely copied into the mod

[gloomy vortex]

The problem is not that you asked us, it was the ping. Typically, when moderation is pinged within the server it is for something important that requires moderation action. A ping in a chat like #off-topic or #hoi4-general generally means someone is acting out and it needs to be brought to our attention. The use of a ping for something non-essential was unnecessary, and I'm sorry if my statement sounded a bit harsh, but please don't do it again.

As part of moderation duties, we generally keep an eye on channels, in future, simply ask. If any moderators are free and have the time to engage with your question, they'll see the message and engage. No moderator is here if they don't enjoy the game or the community aspect. Especially since all moderators are volunteers and choose to be here voluntarily.

I hope this has cleared up any confusion, and we can all continue to foster an amazing and friendly community for the foreseeable future.

That said, I'll elaborate a little on my choice of EAW as my preferred mod.

I generally play Ironman and like achievements, so you won't catch me dead with a minor mod that disables achievements but doesn't impact the game in a major way other than for a specific playthrough. Focus tree mods are thus out the window. Across all PDS games resultingly, my top mod picks tend to be total conversion, because if I'm going to sacrifice achievements, I'll go big or go home.

EAW is my top pick in this category for a few reasons:
One, I have some nostalgia for the My Little Pony show, which I watched with my sister growing up.
Two, by sheer coincidence, I know one of the EAW devs from a separate game before I even got into HOI.
Three, it is about as total conversion as you can get.

[royal knoll]

I'm really about to make ponys go to war

[wet jay]

playing Millennium Dawn, can i put treasuries money into paying debt/building stuff

[round oracle]

Respectable choice.

Here's to hoping we can get Zebrica out son

[gloomy vortex]

I see you are an EAW scripter.
Respect. I can't code to save my life, in spite of my father being a programmer.

[obtuse condor]

do you guys like the gigachad portrait i've created

it's my first

i know there's some issues but it's not too big of a deal since i won't be using it ingame

[paper breach]

best mod that changes the generic focus tree?

[paper breach]

looks good

[stuck mist]

That's not a portrait, just colorization

[sullen marsh]

have you ever seen a map perchance

[dull brook]

wtf is this

[stuck mist]

Its obviously the most realistic axis victory map

[dull brook]

russia is gone, italy is gone, greece is big, bulgaria is halved, swizterland is gone, and they drained the black sea for turkey to accomodate

[sullen marsh]

italy has achieved circle shape

ireland got northern ireland somehow

[stuck mist]

Of course they did

[dull brook]

WHY IS IRAQ HUGE

WHAT COUNTRIES GREY DARK GREY AND BLACK

[sullen marsh]

gibraltar gained weight

[stuck mist]

Obviously, this is the most realistic outcome possible

[obtuse condor]

true

technically even though i colourised it, it's still a portrait

not drawn by me, simply poorly colourised

[obtuse condor]

Just shading, descaling, or filtering things is easy. I can’t tell if you claim you did it all yourself or not, but it’s pretty easy.

[obtuse condor]

oh

whats the format for the flag?

file format

[slow remnant]

imo it's a tad bit too yellow

I'd say to make it more pinkish

try putting the colour overlays as well just for practice

[tidal cradle]

You ate uo the black sea.....
You erased italy from existence
And the UK still stands?
Wtf happened to bulgaria

[tidal cradle]

End of a new beginning?

[bleak cedar]

Don't worry about it, everything is a o k

[shrewd hemlock]

There was a civil war over a banitsa.

Ultimately, Bulgaria was separated into Western and Eastern Bulgaria.

What a sad end... all for a banitsa...

[cyan oasis]

how do you hide branches of the tech tree (for example remove access to all industrial tech)? just set the relevant branch research speed to 0%?

[shrewd hemlock]

I have not see anyone do that.

[cyan oasis]

i have

its in old world blues, (tribal tech tree)
touhou into the world (allows even dynamic switching of which tech tree branches you can see)

itd be usefull for me cuz, if i wanna make a functioning tutorial id LOVE to be able to hide all irrelevant elements of the game until a later date.
and itd be super awesome if i can just make every branch unlockable in the focus tree, so the player can explore them 1 by 1.

check pinned messages

[obtuse condor]

.iam cominterm

[sullen marsh]

it's possible and i think it's a newer feature

i dont know how to do it but i can tell you ive definitely seen it

[cyan oasis]

ive seen it too

[worthy narwhal]

No, a mod in development

[pulsar leaf]

You can use allow_branch on the first focus of a branch. That takes a regular trigger, so you can set it to check for a country_flag that is set in an event or decision

(among many other things)

[stuck mist]

They asked about tech, not focuses I believe

[pulsar leaf]

right, I can not read

That's a bit more complicated, but can be done

there is an allow trigger in tech

but I don't think it updates dynamically. So you would have to make a dummy unlock tech that has allow = { always = no } and put it first in the tech tree you want to lock. And then you can unlock the dummy tech from other content and give players the ability to progress down the tree as usual from there.

[round oracle]

Whoever designed and implemented tech code

is a very nice person and I wish them a very good night's sleep.

[drifting plank]

what is the best modern-day mod

[cyan oasis]

wouldnt you then also have to remove the tech again to re-hide the category?

[halcyon schooner]

One of the maps I have for my mod for coding/planning purposes have a guess on what it represents

[obtuse condor]

hello someone here that can explain me how i add a certain country(fin) a attack/defence bonus again another country(sov)?

[halcyon schooner]

you'll have to use a targeted modifier

[obtuse condor]

like so?

targeted_modifier = {
attack_bonus_against = 0.5
tag= SOV

}

[reef oxide]

ok so

in Kaiserreich, what triggers the declarations of war in the american civil war?

is it an event or something?

same thing for the states that have a chance of siding with a specific faction

[raven swallow]

what if China won ww1

[viral chasm]

Russia Civil war?

Well, the map is very strange

[halcyon schooner]

nope

[halcyon schooner]

yes, but also no

[viral chasm]

Ok

Like

[sullen marsh]

Tydgj

[viral chasm]

There is German and Austrian empires

But there is no Ottomans

[reef oxide]

question

[halcyon schooner]

There is, but smaller

[reef oxide]

when modding, can one keep the game open to check if the things you added work

or do you have to restart the game every time

[halcyon schooner]

For some things you'll have to restart. For example when you added a new file

[reef oxide]

sucks

[paper breach]

Recommend generic Focus Tree reworks, something that makes generic countries not like South America without any mods

[reef oxide]

I'm gonna work on my first ever mod

probably gonna fail horrendously

[halcyon schooner]

as it should be 👍🏻

[reef oxide]

ye

[halcyon schooner]

Also, the map I posted was an overview of states that I've checked so far, which have or will have a sufficient supply situation

The black ones are the states already checked

[obtuse condor]

ho do i use targeted modifiers?

[halcyon schooner]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modifiers

There's a section for them in there

[obtuse condor]

i mean what code structure i need

[buoyant dove]

that america makes me feel uncomfortable

[halcyon schooner]

How so?

[buoyant dove]

weird states

[stuck mist]

All of North America just looks strange

[buoyant dove]

do they all follow rivers

[stuck mist]

The Caribbean, and to a lesser extent South America, also look pretty strange

[halcyon schooner]

In South America and Canada yes, in the US not really

[halcyon schooner]

In the Caribbean I only changed the strategic regions for the most part

[stuck mist]

Actually Caribbean is just Cuba

[obtuse condor]

Cuba invaded all of the carribean? Damn they had to go through colonizators for that

[hexed veldt]

Which mods are the most balanced in your opinion?

I'd like to play something where me and the AI have both to fight hard

[visual lava]

i've got a question:
Is it possible to change the starting consumer goods of a country?, if it is, how?

[spiral trail]

Im playing Millenium dawn and when i launch the game it starts the default game with no extra features

i have the mod installed and enabled though

[shrewd hemlock]

It is.

Either with a national spirit, dynamic modifier, politician, designer company, leader trait, or economic mobilization law.

If I am missing another way, someone let me know.

[visual lava]

ok, thanks

[obtuse condor]

hello\

i have paid game but dont have the dlcs can i get them cracked somehow

[spark niche]

no

i believe

[obtuse condor]

does paul allen believe?

[obtuse condor]

is endsieg updated ?

cmon man answer me

[neon ocean]

idk

ig not

nop

[buoyant dove]

Endsieg isn't updated

Though the creator is working on a mod called Primo Victoria

Which is WW2 mod but Europe only

This is their 1945 Start

[obtuse condor]

dang that screen looks nice

[paper breach]

is there a way to rename these in the game files (like changing government to government type, ruling party to party in charge etc)

[arctic tiger]

I think Imma try endsieg

Looks dang fun

[obtuse condor]

don’t play the Germans

especially if your new

[honest eagle]

great war/great war redux

[arctic tiger]

Aight thanks for the heads up

Usually I just go into a random country and check the focus trees

[arctic tiger]

If I'm playing a new mod

[obtuse condor]

well I’m not certain, but endsieg starts out with the closing of ww2, as Germany is reduced to itself and a few bits it got on the way.

[arctic tiger]

So endsieg is hard

[obtuse condor]

So France, uk, us, Soviet Union, all those start in immediate war

[obtuse condor]

it’s not hard, it’s hard as Germany though

[arctic tiger]

Right

I wanna make the axis win as Germany

[obtuse condor]

good luck

annex all or steiners counterattack

[arctic tiger]

So I think I can fully buff Germany to compensate for it

But my plan here is

Defeat France first

[obtuse condor]

fully buffing Germany doesn’t work for me, I’m probs just bad

[arctic tiger]

Rush back to the coast

Then focus on the Italian front

Slowly take back the Balkans and eastern Europe cause by then my forces can be fully concentrated on the eastern front

[obtuse condor]

https://youtu.be/-cROdvZFHYU

that’s a good plan, sadly it’s to big brain for me to understand

Germany in Endsieg 1945 is more of an experienced player’s challenge

You’ll need thousands of hours of experience to pull off a proper defense

I typically abandon the Netherlands and Norway

And focus my defenses around Berlin, Vienna, and Munich

And Hamburg

@arctic tiger

I suggest assigning Generals with high defense abilities too

Fortify the hell around those four cities

Not only in the city, but the areas around them

Focus your air power on intercepting bombers

Do not let the country be cut in half

If it’s cut in half, you’re done

@obtuse condor annex fra annex sou annex usa annex eng

release fra release sou release usa release eng

[arctic tiger]

Alright thanks

[obtuse condor]

if all else fails, operation Valkyrie

Also remember @arctic tiger

Once a major city is in threat of capture

Volkssturm units are raised

In the local area

[arctic tiger]

Oh

That's good

They’re shitty templates

But better than nothing

Guys how do I get endsieg on paradox plaza

Do I have to wait for somebody to copy the whole mod for it to be available or

Nvm I found endsieg already

[violet holly]

nice.

[obtuse condor]

How about one of ya'll make the in game speed go faster (not performance wise but so I can watch an time-lapse without speeding the video itself up)

[reef oxide]

how can I make an event specific for a country?

I got an event coded in

but I want it to trigger for one country only

nvm got it

then I have a colour issue now

I copied a color code from another mod

but the colour in the new mod isn't the same as the one in the old mod

yes I copied from the correct country

[amber forge]

Basically the newest version

[tender mountain]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2720304129 i really need someone to try my mod and give some feedback

[tribal trellis]

slightly off topic but i did some hoi4 modding the other day and for some reason i can no longer get achievements on vanilla idk why

i had not modified the base game in any way

[stuck ingot]

Good mod

[tender mountain]

Thank you, i would appreciate if you rated it on the steam workshop!

[stuck ingot]

I did

I gave you like 6000 points

[tender mountain]

oh wow! tyvm! there will be more updates, dont forget to check them out in the future

[stuck ingot]

I will

In future, you can add border conflict for Zaolzie

[twilit elm]

might have modified files without noticing of vanilla game or some mod or sth might still be active

if you are on steam,check for file integrity(that might work)

[tribal trellis]

dw i fixed it

but thanks for the help!

[jovial hollow]

will do

[tender mountain]

great idea

[obtuse condor]

.

[obtuse condor]

hello anone here that could say me why the states with the flagg dont get transferd to my communist finland?

every_state = { limit = { has_state_flag = commie_fin_flag } { random_country = { limit = { original_tag = FIN has_government = communism } transfer_state = NOR } } }

[astral lake]

First, use ```
so it looks like this

And then make your code not all on one line.

[obtuse condor]

oh okay

[astral lake]

How does this communist finland come to exist? Is it done through the like the start_civil_war ?

[obtuse condor]

i addet a des to setup a headqater like in the sov civil war and two infiltration desc to add the flagg to the state

and after a focus you get a event that SOULD tranfert the states to you

but dint

[worthy narwhal]

Not possible

[astral lake]

    limit = { has_state_flag = commie_fin_flag } 
    transfer_state_to = ROOT
}```

[obtuse condor]

i test it

but do you now how i "merge" for some desc ONE name like so:
Infliltrate [FROM.GetName]

[astral lake]

What do you mean?

[obtuse condor]

so that i dont need to add a loc to every infiltration des just one for every

[astral lake]

Well, are you doing a targetted decision?

Or are you making a decision for each?

[obtuse condor]

for evey state eac cause i need to specify what state get the flagg commie_fin_flag

[astral lake]

Ok but you can use targetted decisions to target states so the flag gets applied to that.

[obtuse condor]

how do i comvert normal des to targetet?

[astral lake]

add in state_target = yes

and then you can do

    1
    200
    300 
}```

Where the 1, 200, and 300 you replace with the state id's where you want to be able to infiltrate.

[obtuse condor]

but i want that they avalable when the neiboring state has the flagg commie_fin_flag so they now that they "assined"

[astral lake]

    FROM = {
        any_neighbor_state = {
            has_state_flag = commie_fin_flag 
        }
    }
}```?

[obtuse condor]

ahh

[astral lake]

Or a more efficient method if the state flag is never removed

When you add the flag to a state, add a flag to each neighbouring state that essentially tells you a neighbouring state has the flag.

[obtuse condor]

okay but can i say on ery sate exept this one ?

is this possible?

[astral lake]

every_neighbor_state

If you want every neighbor state

[obtuse condor]

yes but one not

cause there i addet the desc "set up our Headquarter"

[astral lake]

I don't understand.

[obtuse condor]

but how do i say that the desc need to take like 14 days

[obtuse condor]

the desc also shows up on state 146 but it has the flagg already

[astral lake]

then set the visible = { not = { has_state_flag = commie_fin_flag } }

[obtuse condor]

okay

btw how i say give the state that the desc is in the flagg?

cause rn is give the flagg only to 146 when completet

[astral lake]

FROM = { set_state_flag = commie_fin_flag }

[obtuse condor]

nope still appearing there

[astral lake]

Can you post your full decision code?

[obtuse condor]

can´t

but i send it as a .txt

ignore the _146 at the beginig is temporarily

[astral lake]

Some things you should do is
allowed = { original_tag = <TAG> }
This is to limit the decision to that country (good for performance).
Do not duplicate triggers in visible and available.
If you have one trigger in visible, it's not necessary to have it in visible as that's just wasting performance.

[obtuse condor]

okay that good xd

[obtuse condor]

qestion can a state have mutiply flags? and when yes how do i remove one?

but not the other

[buoyant dove]

yes

set_state_flag = x

clr_state_flag = x

Trying to figure out how to read the results of the profiler. It categorizes a lot of stuff, and while I can't really fix the Unit issue I figure the Countries Parallel, Countries Serial, Misc, and Supply can probably find ways to decrease them. What does the circled red section mean here? Seems like an address but that doesn't seem right

I got told by someone on another server that deleting events even if I know they will never trigger helps performance because it still checks for them on the backend, is such a thing true?

I am also going to guess Paradox has never made a list of "These things are the most expensive, so try not to add them to the game" type of thing?

first you have to specify what exactly your mod will change in game and then learn how to do changes step by step and in the same time do changes. use IRON WORKSHOP youtube channel to start learning

Equestria at War is actually really fun omg

[obtuse condor]

is making mods hard? 1-10

[queen carbon]

Depends what you want to do

Its not that hard to make a new nation territory and leader wise/change portraits, territories arround, names, colors on the map

So id rate it a 2

[obtuse condor]

thats good

[queen carbon]

Advisors are a bit trickier to implement so Id give them a 3

Focuses are harder then the above in my opinion

[obtuse condor]

because someone else on the server wanted to make a mod (changin focuses and the map) so i was just curious

[queen carbon]

The alignment process is pretty time consuming

[obtuse condor]

oh perfect!!! :(((

[queen carbon]

And depending on the focus it can be harder or easier

It depends how organised you are as well

Focuses that affect other nations/trigger civil wars/trigger events are a bit harder to make

A bit id give them a 7

And if you want to implement things like a new system id say an 8/9

[obtuse condor]

how about fascist then

[queen carbon]

focuses can go from a 5-7

And map from a 2-3

The difficulty about the map is the really time consuming process that is mapping

Which means basically going in development mode I think its called

Looking at each territories id

Going and adding them to your nation while removing it from others

[round oracle]

Wait until you see what we have in development.

Is anyone here looking for modding work? Specifically on a star wars themed hoi4 mod in the Imperial Civil War era?

[hexed wigeon]

That already exists

[shy obsidian]

I know I am creating it

And looking for more team members

[hexed wigeon]

ah

based

[shy obsidian]

We desperately need GFX people but coders are always very welcome

[hexed wigeon]

Would changing a countries name lock you out of multiplayer and getting achievements?

[buoyant dove]

No

assuming you only change loc or gfx

[pure scaffold]

tgwr

though it is historical mod

[shy obsidian]

Fancy seeing you here

[sour badge]

Idea for a mod What if American Civil War never happened ideas

[pure scaffold]

I like some emojis a lot

this dog dance is so funny

btw
how do I make building grant compliance locally, on the state it's built on?

pls help

tried with compliance_growth but it for some reason had global effect

[shy obsidian]

The last thing the Hoi4 modding community needs is more what if this happened or never happened mods

[pure scaffold]

eh

people like that

[hexed wigeon]

What if Germany won World War One but lost the Prussian Franco war, what if the UK’s empire never collapsed, what if Napoleon won. Literally every alt hist mod

[shy obsidian]

Slap in an american civil war and you got it

[hexed wigeon]

Oh and don’t forget the giant amount of, “What if america never became independent!”

Atleast the ones where WW1 never happened are actually kinda creative

Oh and don’t forget the mods where France is super powerful and also incredibly facist while Germany is incredibly weak and collapsing

[prisma shoal]

is there a mod for the nopolionic wars?

[warm kelp]

i was banned in the middle of planning to pay someone 100 bucks for a mod

i legit did nothing

[clear crest]

Is there any war about a post nuclear war

But realistic and not like fallout owb

[lament needle]

this one is with Napoleon 3rd if you want

[pale mauve]

Good news: I now have a team for my mod!

[cyan oasis]

never even heard of such a genre

generally speaking a post-nuclear world exists only of dead corpses
because you simply wont survive it

so you either have stories like metro exodus or fallout
or you have hoi4: 0 manpower and no leaders cuz everyone is dead edition

[magic geyser]

what do u guys think of pax britannica

[cyan oasis]

Whoever doesnt die to the initial blasts and radiation will die to the resulting nuclear winter and complete deprevation of energy on earth

[magic geyser]

i cant wait for the next hoi4 game to be based on that, ngl

[cyan oasis]

Only the toughest of deep sea animals have a shot of keeping mother nature alive on earth

[sour drum]

Hi
I'm Looking for people to help me and build a team with a mod I've been working on for the past 2 weeks
what I'm mainly looking for:

• GFX artists
• Event/decision workers
• Focus Tree workers
• maybe story workers
  if your interested just dm over discord

[hexed wigeon]

Horrible mod tbh

I was bored out of my mind as France

You do no wars until 1937, (you start in 1933)

[magic geyser]

its semi good if u just wait till 1937

[bold cloud]

can i get some help? Im trying to get modifier gui to work with rise of nations

Ive tried following all of the steps

[vocal schooner]

Okay is there a tutorial video on how to make a hearts of iron 4 mod I really want to try it but I am clueless

[rustic niche]

for anyone who plays with millennium dawn how do you get more building slots?

[empty briar]

any good ww1 mods

[timber mica]

Endsieg

[empty briar]

does it need to be played on 1.10

[timber mica]

Endsieg should work on 1.10, I've used it on that version before and it worked just fine

[timber mica]

Here is the link: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1532883122

You can play 1916 and 1918

on the mod

As well as 1944 and 1945

[verbal flint]

but it isn't updated for nearly a year

[long iris]

why can't i sort?

[clear crest]

No

Actually a few people would survive and If its after 50 years you could see already small populations

And a nuclear winter would prolly be smaller than we think and only last a few years

[white gale]

Bruh why did I read that as "Colonise Your Country"

Also what are you trying to sort

[zenith urchin]

lol same

[worthy narwhal]

for the love of God do not use hoi4modding.com

the code is beyond broken

use it for planning only if you can't set up vscode

[obtuse condor]

does anyone here know how to localise a new country

im trying to make a mod where germany splits apart, and i have no ideea how to localize a new state

[north wave]

hoi4modding is only good for simple focus tree mapping and that’s it lamo

[worthy narwhal]

VScode does it better

Hell even flowchart

[heady wyvern]

Anyone knows how to make musics mod?

[cyan oasis]

does vscode have syntax highlighting for hoi4 mods tho

[peak raft]

No unless you get a plugin for that

[cyan oasis]

ok so yes then?

[peak raft]

Why would VScode have that by default lol

[peak raft]

youll have to find a plugin

[cyan oasis]

with vscode i assume everything is thru plugins

[peak raft]

Um

plugins just add to it

[final ferry]

What mod does this?

Which*

[misty smelt]

can any one help me my fourth focus wont show up>

focus = {
id = KOA_improve_south_industry
icon = GFX_goal_generic_major_war
x = 3
y = 5
relative_position_id = the_second_war

    available = {
        NOT = { is_in_faction_with = USA }

    }
    ai_will_do = {
        factor = 1
        modifier = {
            JAP = { has_government = fascism }

[final ferry]

Will send you later on. Im palying rn

[buoyant dove]

👍

[misty smelt]

what?

[white gale]

Sorry

I was cleaning my keyboard earlier

[arctic imp]

what mod folders do I have to copy for the game to just have the events and focuses of another mod

I want to have all the cold war events and focuses but I already have a tech mod, and I still want to experience the ww2 stuff

[dusk ice]

https://youtu.be/XWUhe70ue6A

That’s what I used

[dusk ice]

for events you probably need the events, interface, event pictures, and localisation folders

[arctic imp]

thanks

[dusk ice]

I dont know anything about focuses so I cant help you there

[arctic imp]

the issue im running into rn is 1936-45 focuses are overwritten by the 49+ ones

[obtuse condor]

I THOUGHT I DELETED THAT MESSEGE

JUST DM ME IF WE KEEP TALKING ABT THIS THEIR GONNA PATCH IT

[old grotto]

what

[toxic umbra]

Any experienced programmers on here please tell me how I can fix this

[solar roost]

Not programmer but probably a problem with icon resolution

[dusk ice]

Are the files transparent? And the guy above is probably right too.

[toxic umbra]

Yes, they are transparent

Not those one's specifically btw

I have my own focus icons for my own country and I can't see them

[toxic umbra]

What is the ideal size for a focus icon tho?

because my smallest one is 46 x 45 pixels

[obtuse condor]

modern mod

pls????/

[honest eagle]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2777392649

[dusk ice]

can you send a pic of the thing you are talking about then?

[dusk ice]

did you do localization?

[toxic umbra]

yes

[dusk ice]

did you assign the focus to the country?

[toxic umbra]

yes

I think it might have something to do with the localization tho, gimme a moment

I can see the focus icons now but they're still messed up

It does mention something about buttonstate.lua having defunct animations

[dusk ice]

messed up how?

[toxic umbra]

The base game focus icons are still stretched and not transparent (see the image ablove)

[dusk ice]

the image looks nice in the file right?

[toxic umbra]

yeah

It's in dds as the tutorials say

[dusk ice]

did you do the interface stuff?

[obtuse condor]

so im trying to replace the soviet union with a whole new custom country is there a way to do that?

[dusk ice]

https://youtu.be/XulAELfxPDc

[frosty tartan]

anyway to mod war participation in game?

I just want to change it so kills actually impact participation

Like is there a "kills" variable i can just switch with the "casualties" variable for participation?

[toxic umbra]

can you be more specific?

[dusk ice]

like sprite type = {
name = "jiewiejwe9ijw"
texturefile = "gfx/eijeiw.dds"}

[toxic umbra]

yeah

[dusk ice]

all of your brackets connect to the proper one right?

not just in interface but in your code

[jolly cape]

My own focus tree here (part of it at least)

You need to make sure your GFX icons are saved in DDS format with resolution close to 100 x 88 and alpha transparency activated for the background, also, you need to make sure you place everything in the correct place gfx/interface/goals and you assigned proper GFX assets syntax in the bra_goals in interface paste

[toxic umbra]

How do I active alpha transparency?

[solar roost]

On GIMP you can right click on the image >add layer >transparency >alpha layer

Probably is the same on photoshop

[toxic umbra]

Can pixlr do that?

[solar roost]

No clue

[toxic umbra]

I'm assuming you've never heard of it

[solar roost]

Yes

Just get gimp it's open source and free

[toxic umbra]

Download directly, right?

[solar roost]

Yeah

[jolly cape]

I never heard of that

[jolly cape]

Yep

[fluid totem]

the great war

pretty sure that’s the name

[ebon granite]

How can i update a mod without deleting it and reuploading it?

[ebon granite]

This server is filled with mod creators. It's a simple question... Who can help me out?

[brave furnace]

It's not too difficult if you just want to update the server info. Find the folder under:
C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\OneDrive\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod
Copy the mod you want to update into that from your steam mod folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360
Then update the description file tot he current version.
If the mod is out of date due to changes in the game files, then you'll have a slightly more tedious task of comparing the mod files to the game files to find where the conflict is.

[ebon granite]

i mean more like i added new stuff and i want to update the mod on steam

[obtuse condor]

Is there any sub-mod for the Total War mod that adds more tech?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=806209426&searchtext=total+war

[obtuse condor]

i need help, so i was messing with game files for romania and i acidentally replaced them with the german ones, can anyone go to the national focus file and get the romanian files? it would be really helpful

[obtuse condor]

Thanks
