The soldier sticks out. Try to hide his bottom to not look so out of place.
Usually sinking it into the inner section of the focus icon works.
Alternatively you can put something in front of the soldier.

You need to mention it in the goals file and the goals_shine as far as I remember.
Of course the icon itself needs to be in the gfx>interface>goals folder.
Those are in the hoi4>interface folder.
So yeah, mention it in the goals.gfx and goals_shine.gfx files.

So I'm wondering.. I enjoy the economy aspect, researching and building stuff of the game. Not necessarily the army management and moving troops. Is it possible with a mod to play a country shared with an ai which does not choose focus, research, production or does diplomacy etc? So it just moves troops, ships and planes? Is there such a mod already? Have no idea what to search for in the workshop.

I'm not sure if you want an AI to control your troops, ships and armies. The AI will spread your navy into many different strike forces, which will guaranteed get the navy sunk. The AI will stupidly get your planes shot down and the AI is also very likely to waste your manpower. Letting the AI control those 3 aspects is very stupid and could easily cause you to lose the game. So, why you would want the AI to do anything for you is beyond me

The hardness changes are defined in common/units/equipment/x_tank_chassis.txt.

If you edit the bonuses of the SPG equipment for example that will be reflected in the role tooltip in the tank designer

HOI4 modding isn't coding. You just need to understand some basics but they are actually easy to understand

1 thing I will recommend is to not use HOI4modding.com

why not
distant oracle
With that small tree there you would be lucky to get in without it crashing
dusk ice
this a good icon?
you could join a gfx modding group and ask
distant oracle
they made a new updated site
Still stands, as it doesnt update the tree acording to the focus and leaves a lot of un-needed stuff in it, causes some massive bugs
warm fog
edge.hoi4modding.com is the new one
distant oracle
Going on any HOI4 modding server and asking about it will give u an overwhelming "dont use it"
You dont learn anything from it either
So you wouldnt know how to correct your mistakes
Its better to learn from the files instead

Does anyone know if there already is a mod that improves how factions work in relation to intelligence agencies? Specifically, the problems I have with vanilla include:
-
When you stage a coup in, for example, an Allied country during the war, the newly formed Communist country immediately joins the Axis, which makes no sense, except that the Axis are already fighting the Allies, which includes the old country… Instead, your own Communist faction should have priority.
-
When you stage a coup in an unaligned country, the newly formed country often ends up with 0 reasons to join your faction, even with maximum diplomatic relations and maximum diplomatic pressure. The spy bonus for increased diplomatic pressure only seems to increase the speed at which the pressure is applied.
-
When you defeat the USSR, Mongolia becomes the new leader of the Comintern, and it’s impossible to dislodge them without outright attacking them. Instead, the Comintern should fall apart, but also, spies should have a new mission type that would force a country to leave a faction.

I've always had a soft spot for Ethiopia with how many times it's forced to capitulate to Italy, and I'm tickled by the idea of Italy being even more of a loser in HOI4 than it already is
So that's what I've been working on today
Though I'm not sure what to do with the political side, aside from vague endgoals
Sure, the early ones need to start swinging ideologies in the right direction, and there should be the ability to obtain Djibouti and British Somalia
But what else is there

I need help with my mod. One day, the mod began to crash almost immediately after the start of the time. The error log is almost empty, all the errors that were before did not make the game crash before. The last changes I made were related to the map, but most likely the crash was not related to this, because if there was something wrong with the map, the games would immediately report it. I also added a lot of almost similar tags and a lot of other small changes, I think this is most likely the problem. If someone wants to help me, I can drop the mod repository on github.
