true tundra
#

SPA_recovering_from_civil_war

cedar mauve
#

true tundra
#

true tundra
cedar mauve
#

tag switch???

true tundra
#

yes

#

like if you're germany and you want hungary to get the debuff you would do

#

tag hun

#

add_ideas SPA_recovering_from_civil_war

#

tag ger

cedar mauve
#

so if i were to want turkey then i would do
add_ideas SPA_recovering_from_civil_war tag tur?

true tundra
#

no

#

first tag switch to turkey

#

tag tur

#

add_ideas SPA_recovering_from_civil_war

#

and then tag switch to your old countr

i downloaded the 1.11.5 version of Cold War Iron Curtain but my game says "This mod is made for another version of the game (1.11.5)"

#

pls help

#

no matter when or what mod i download it ALWAYS says that

#

and it always crashes

twin locust
#

What version are you on

random olive
#

it said my game was on 1.11.5 when i downloaded it

#

i get to the loading screen then it crashes

twin locust
#

ur prob on the latest version

#

try the latest version of Cold War

random olive
#

i downloaded it 5-10 minutes ago, ill try again tho

#

ive even tried other mods and literally the exact same thing always happens, i'll download it it'll say its out of date, i enable it then when the loading screen finishes it crashes

#

now my launcher says it is on 1.11.12

twin locust
#

Some mods just say there updated

random olive
#

huh

#

i dont understand, it still says it is outdated

#

the only reason i can guess it is not working is because i downloaded hoi4 from steam, but i didnt want to use mods from steam because its to overly complicated trying to activate them

#

IT DOESNT EVEN WORK WHEN I DOWNLOAD IT FROM STEAM

#

FINALLY, ONE WORKS

#

i think

#

NO

#

wait, it finally does, i got the great war mod to work

junior pelican
#

So if I wanted to swap one infantry model for another (Ex: Swap the British infantry model for the American one) how exactly would I do that?

dull blade
#

from the wiki

dull blade
#

unless they're a complete digit off

#

like 1.10-1.11

#

but if they only change like, focus trees or core game mechanics then its usually fine

blazing bramble
#

is there a mod that makes these models a little bit more... accurate

rose jay
#

Need a little bit of help with something:

Tried generating a custom map using the tool MapGen 2.2. The game will crash upon reaching the 'loading history' section of boot up. I've put everything under 1 strategic region just to be safe, and have inputted the following in the description and mod file:

replace_path="common/ai_peace"
replace_path="common/ai_strategy"
replace_path="common/ai_strategy_plans"
replace_path="common/ai_equipment"
replace_path="common/ai_templates"
replace_path="common/bookmarks"
replace_path="common/decisions"
replace_path="common/decisions/categories"
replace_path="common/ideas"
replace_path="common/national_focus"
replace_path="common/on_actions"
replace_path="common/scripted_effects"
replace_path="common/scripted_localisation"
replace_path="common/units/names_divisions"
replace_path="common/units/names_ships"
replace_path="history/countries"
replace_path="history/states"
replace_path="map/strategicregions"
replace_path="map/supplyareas"
replace_path="events"
replace_path="portraits"
replace_path="country_leader"

Anyone know what could be going wrong? I don't get any error notepad even though the game is in debug mode, only a crash reporter for Paradox.

Thanks!

So I created a mod with a new map and created a country and some states. But when I add the core in the history file of the state it still has resistance and its occupied. Even if I try to add a core with the in game console it still does not work. Does someone know why this happens?

yes i am

#

Even when I go into debug mode it says that there is a core but if I click on that state is says that its occupied

Hello! I am researching how to mod techs and I have found something very strange.
For some reason if I copy a tech and do not link it with another tech, it does not show up.
I need to connect it with already existing tech for it to show up on the tech tree.

#

Anyone know how to make a tech not be connected with another tech and still show up?

So my theory is that since when you have the the leads_to_tech it's part of that armor_tree

Oh, it answers the question "What would happen if Germany won WW1?".

It is an alternative history mod with very high quality.

Second most played mod if I remember correctly.

I have a few videos on it in my YouTube channel showcasing the recently new focus tree for Bulgaria.

Oooooh nice

Does RT56 do well with historic focuses too?

Not sure how historical they are, but they are definitely fun.

I have not played it in a long time.

Maybe someone else can share their opinion on the matter.

Hello guys, i just started modding, i created a map using map gen v2.2 and when exported i tried to test if my map works but game crashed, i wasn't surprised but when i saw the crash log i saw that i think all of my provs has no continent, i mean 10k errors from "prov 1 has no continent" to "prov 10081 has no continent", what can i do with this? and also i have errors "Province 1 has no pixels in provinces.bmp" to "Province 46 has no pixels in provinces.bmp". Can anybody help, please?

Good luck!

Use those two tutorials and it should help to fix it

btw when i export i should export from map gen just to mod folder or to mod/name_of_my_mod folder?

It should automatically put it in your mod folder with a custom name

Do y’all know how I can remove all the basegame countries, focus trees, events, etc without creating errors? I’m trying to empty the folders so I can start fresh, but if I do the game attempts to reference the base game files creating literal thousands of errors

astral lake
#

You use replace_path

#

A lot of vanilla things will reference countries, focuses, and events.

#

So an overhaul is a long path

#

Of removing, and adding back what is necessary.

I have done the replace paths

I still get the errors

You probably will still get errors.

tall frost
#

someone here?

#

well i want to add party name to my leader but i dont know how to do it

loud tendon
#

As in display the party's name along with the leader's name?

#

@tall frost

tall frost
#

yea

loud tendon
#

best way to do it (as far as I'm aware, I'm new to modding myself) would be to write in the party's name with the leader's name in the history file

#

probably a better way to do it

tall frost
#

can you write me any example?

#

Sorry my english is not good

loud tendon
#

okay so since I'm working on Hawaii right now I'll use that as an example

#

History file I'm talking about is located in

history\countries*.txt

#

the * being your tag and then the name

#

so in Hawaii's case it's HAW - Hawaii.txt

#

so let's scroll down to the leaders then

#

and look at Joseph Poindexter

#

he looks like this in the files

create_country_leader = {
name = "Joseph Poindexter"
desc = ""
picture = GFX_portrait_Joseph_Poindexter
ideology = liberalism
traits = {
#
}
}

#

so if you wanted to add his ideology into his name

#

you'd just do this

create_country_leader = {
name = "Joseph Poindexter - Liberal"
desc = ""
picture = GFX_portrait_Joseph_Poindexter
ideology = liberalism
traits = {
#
}
}

#

anyway I have a problem of my own

tall frost
#

got it

loud tendon
#

I'm trying to remove the Form Polynesia decision from Hawaii, and no matter what I do it still stays there

tall frost
loud tendon
#

...huh

tall frost
#

yea its in polish

loud tendon
#

I get the idea though

#

problem is it's not there

tall frost
#

but i did this

loud tendon
#

Well it doesn't look like the ideologyname is there

tall frost
#

set_party_name = {
ideology = neutrality
long_name = HZH_neutrality_party_long
name = HZH_neutrality_party

loud tendon
#

Oh is that what you wanted out of it?

tall frost
#

yea

loud tendon
#

Nevermind then

#

you got it

tall frost
#

you try to change event to something new?

#

i dont know how it works

#

i just starting with mods

loud tendon
#

you know what yeah I'm just gonna remove the event, New Zealand be damned

#

Modding is life and I like it.

obtuse condor
#

is it safe to add a mod that changes plane models mid game

#

and would it be safe if i removed it later on

shrewd hemlock
#

It would probably not apply.

#

It is still not recomended.

obtuse condor
#

ok thank you

#

ill just save it for later then

shrewd hemlock
#

Yeah. If you do changes to the mod, best to make them while the game is not running.

#

If the game is running in Debug mode you can change like values and stats, but it is still best to mod while the game is not running.

Is this some kinda mod?

Nah that’s a DLC

uncut badger

Ahh okay

Thanks

obtuse condor
#

anyone here done map modding before?

#

i keep getting error

#

the tutorial said everytime this shows up to delete the mod folder and file and regenerate the province map and reexport it to the game

#

but it hasn't worked and i've done it 5 times

astral lake
#

Open your province.bmp in photoshop, go to those coordinates

#

You can't have province pixels touch like this

shrewd hemlock
#

That's a strange limitation.

tranquil marlin

#

Make the backgrounds different colours and adding rays into the backgrounds will help make them pop more. also that indian ones portrait isn't correct (also could use some better doge and brun also a drop and clarity - along side the smug tool)

#

I don't think they just corrupt. Dds. File then do goal shine and goal .gfx files

Does anyone know why I have yellow text in my variants designer? (I have mods on)

how to add a provinz to a other country?

obtuse condor
#

i dont have photoshop

cerulean canyon
#

but how can i do that the country own the state by selecting

obtuse condor
#

do you want to give the state to a country at the start of the game or through an event/focus?

cerulean canyon
#

i want give poland the state 63

obtuse condor
#

put the state into your mod history folder into state

#

and change the owner to poland

#

and change its core if you want

cerulean canyon
#

but provinces = {} now all province from the state?

#

and exist a way to use the defautl amount an manpower

#
state = {
    id = 63
    name = "STATE_63"
    manpower = 308900000
    state_category = city
    history = {
        owner = GER
        buildings = {
        }
        1945.1.1 = {
            owner = POL
            controller = POL
        }
    }
    provinces = {
        6334
        9334
        9361
        11372
        11343

What file determines a state's name?

astral lake
#

So in the state's history file the 1-Corsica.txt for example will have a name="STATE_1"
The value of STATE_1 is determined by the localisation and probably exists in state_names_l_english.yml

#

You have to recruit the character in the countries history file as well.

bleak dragon
#

Wdym recruit

astral lake
#

Open a countries history file and you'll see recuit_character = xyz

Xyz?

Have a look at common > characters

and history > countries > any country of your choice

Does anyone have a mod like toolpack but thats working on the current version?

bleak dragon

# bleak dragon in mod?

At the vanilla files so you can copy what paradox does.
i.e you'll need to create a character in the common > characters, recruit that character in your countries history.

okay

#

ideas for canadian overhaul?

hidden current
#

Hmmmm. I would say make an in depth monarchy focus tree but I’m sure everyone else thinks that aswell

obtuse condor
#

that is planned, but idk what to put for it

hidden current
#

What if Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson fled to Canada, and took the Canadian throne

#

Or whatever Edward it was, I lost count

obtuse condor

lol

#

maybe

#

ya know, ima focus on the german mod

hidden current

What’s it about

obtuse condor
#

just an overhaul

#

lol

hidden current
#

Lol. I also was working on a Scottish mod that just ended up not working so I scrapped it

obtuse condor
#

i am done with the nazi and spartacist paths

#

i need ideas for the hohenzollern path

hidden current
#

Hmmm. Well, for the Hohenzollerns. Maybe you could put an event or focus that allows a Hohenzollern to try to take the Spanish throne when Franco wins the civil war, sparking another conflict with France

#

That could be like the last focus or something

obtuse condor
#

mayb

#

\maybe

#

\this is the whole focus so far

#

this is just a mockup

i dunno what else

#

No, there’s content in my mods and they always export nicely, but when I load them up into the game it never works, it’s always an empty mod

obtuse condor
#

weird

#

idk what to tell ya

Like I cannot for the love of god create a new country, give it new states, and it always fails, never loads

okay

#

anyway

#

ideas?

#

idk how to help you

hidden current
#

Ughhhh

obtuse condor
#

ideas pls

hidden current
#

Also here’s a new idea, you could sponsor a German Prince to take the polish throne. And you could also do the same for Hungary

obtuse condor
#

how do i change leaders of foreign countries on a focus

hidden current
#

There’s a thing in the focus creator which allows you to kill foreign leaders and assign new ones

obtuse condor
#

how

#

show me

hidden current
#

Try typing in “remove” and see what pops up for your focus effects

obtuse condor
#

kk

#

is this it

hidden current
#

Yes

obtuse condor
#

okay

#

wait

#

lemme check leader of pole

#

poland

hidden current
#

You’ll have to change it from GER_Character_Token to “POL_Character_Token”

obtuse condor
#

what is Ignacy Mościcki's token

#

is this all i put

hidden current
#

Yes

obtuse condor
#

oh

#

okay

#

but

#

how do i get the specific leader i want in

hidden current
#

You’ll have to set up an event to fire when the focus completes, which kills him and replaces him with the person you want. You’ll have to create an event to fire when the focus completes

#

I said that twice lmfao

obtuse condor
#

idk how to do it

#

i am new to this site

hidden current

You’ll have to create an event, in the events tool

there's one thing to that

shy obsidian
#

Are you trying to path the leader to the image though?

Or are you creating a GFX_ file kinda thing for the leader and using it there

And in the history file you just need to do recruit_character = character_name I am pretty sure

Are Operative Missions (Build Intel Network, Root Out Resistance, etc.) hardcoded?

Alternatively, is there a way to work around needing an intel network to start an operation?
