Thanks

mortal epoch
#

Well it's not officially in mod, so it's still not under HOI4

#

but after it'll be a mod...

final plaza
#

Which Great War mod do you prefer. Original or redux?

wheat topaz
#

redux is much better

obtuse condor
#

How do I rename political parties

obtuse condor
wheat topaz
#

why?

#

original focus trees are all same just renamed

obtuse condor
#

better overall

wheat topaz
#
  • the research in original has too long gaps and too little researches
#

redux was made for the reason of being better

Just look at their policy on mods

obtuse condor
#

Where

candid inlet
#

allow_branch = {
NOT = {
has_country_flag = USA_Technology_visible
}
}

#

Although it meets the need, it just disappears when I say reloadtechnologies.

anybody knows how to do the terrain modding

cinder wasp
#

you need draw it

#

on terrain bitmap

astral lake
#

Make sure you use gimp, photoshop or some other image editing software that supports indexed bitmaps.

obtuse condor
#

thank god

#

florida got wiped off the map

#

Lol yeah they’re technically not part of it.

#

Part of their focus tree would be involvement.

#

But they don’t have to

#

The mod started out as “what if Trotsky came to power. Not Stalin?”

spare fern
#

Are there any QOL mods I should download if I'm new to the game?

obtuse condor
#

I’d suggest Demand It! and Formables & Decisions +

#

I always play with this

spare fern
#

What do they do?

shrewd hemlock
obtuse condor
# spare fern What do they do?

Demand it just lets you demand states for political power and a few other small options. Decisions and Formables+ just adds more decisions and formable nations options.

#

Pretty good.

#

Pretty solid mods.

spare fern
#

Alright ty

obtuse condor
#

Can someone make hispaniola as a formable in decisions for Dominican Republic and haiti? Just a simple mod that when controlling the whole island gives the country cores on all of the island. And make it change the name of the country to hispaniola

also you should turn off guarantees, can't get achievements like that anyways

how to fix?

#

for some reason, this specific state is linking back to the original game files and not the mod.

Is there a mod which lets you declare war without a war goal?

Is there anybody who can add states to a country? and get the people to live in the new state, that's all I need, thanks

hidden obsidian
#

Probably a frequent question, but does someone who's playing the same game version as me use the mods I have in multiplayer without installing them?

astral lake
#

No, both players would have to install and load the same mods.

hi im playing endsieg and it seems like I have a deficit of thousands of tanks with invisible image, I have some other tanks in storage but all my tanks divisions have 0/300 tanks, is this a visual bug or is there something wrong

You copy an existing one and you give it an unique name.

Hello, Fernando! Saw you typing. :D

#

Hello i am working on a USA rework and this code i wrote is just not working. I tried with "if" and it didn't work either. I don't understand why it doesn't work so any help is appreciated.

A quick way to think about things:

Effect Scopes:
random_something
every_something

heady granite
#

oh so they work that way i didn't know thank you

#

it worked

shrewd hemlock
#

Fernando at this point should get a medal or a special role in this server.

#

I see him help random people here all the time.

#

🍺

#

I will drink for Fernando's health.

buoyant dove
#

that would mean the staff wold have to care about the modders

shrewd hemlock
#

If by "care" you mean giving credit to us every time the development team uses some of our work from the Workshop, then I am 100% on board.

idle vale
#

anyone know a mod for console in multiplayer?

shrewd hemlock
idle vale
#

There is similiar things, i heard about a tools mod for host in multiplayer but i cant find it

shrewd hemlock
#

Console commands are hardcoded to be dissabled in MP.

idle vale
#

I didnt exactly mean console commands

#

just something that allows me to edit the game without havent to go singeplayer then back to mp

obtuse condor
#

hi

#

<@&846894118219022336> isn't this against the rules?

obtuse condor
#

okay if linking is against the rules here is the thing

#

i wanna play a cool playthrough as Germany in HOI4

#

but i dont use steam and have 1.11.10

#

and i need some mods that overhaul Germany, add more Reichskommisariats and ideally one of those puppet color mods.

#

and no, I will not buy the game because its pricey

#

hello anyone?

glass plank
#

you're using a pirated version thats against the rules

waxen ferry
#

Correct, discussion of pirated content is prohibited under rule 14.

#

@obtuse condor Refrain from discussing pirated content on this server in the future.

obtuse condor
#

i bought it

#

just not from steam

#

:/

waxen ferry
#

You stated that it was pirated in the reddit post you linked.

obtuse condor
#

well not exactly

#

i meant that i didnt get it from steam

#

i mustve made a mistake there

Bruuuuuh....
How can you be monarchist and dislike Kaiserreich. The entire mod is making monarchies interesting and it has so much content and unique stories... @.@

#

🤔

faint lichen
#

cause I presume it might have something to do with a custom decision right?

shrewd hemlock
#

Might I suggest... a decision category?

bleak cedar
faint lichen
bleak cedar
#

It's an overhual mod

faint lichen
#

ah

#

yours?

bleak cedar
#

yes

#

I just figured what cause it

faint lichen
#

thats good lol

bleak cedar
#

turns out the 00_decision_categories file was empty. @shrewd hemlock was right

faint lichen
#

gotcha

shrewd hemlock
#

😎

faint lichen
#

yeah decision modding isnt my strong suit anyways

#

you know any about tech?

shrewd hemlock
faint lichen
#

I should

bleak cedar
#

don't worry, i'm not either. In fact ive been working on this mod for 2 years now

faint lichen
#

but I'm working on a submod rn

#

so, I dont really need to

faint lichen
shrewd hemlock
#

I was super bad with events, so I started doing them more. Now I don't suck at them. 😅

faint lichen
#

trying to replace tech in a submod replacing a mod is monke

bleak cedar
#

disc as an file or whats the mod about?

faint lichen
#

do you have a discord server to follow updates and stuff?

bleak cedar
#

oh

faint lichen
#

if you do, dm them to me

#

cause idk if they are allowed to be posted

#

given the fact this place is 1984 probably not

bleak cedar
#

I do have discord server but, its currently dormant until we can a beta working.

faint lichen
#

how big is the mod?

#

like, team wise?

bleak cedar
bleak cedar
faint lichen
#

very big

#

nice

#

thats like 2 focuse trees an hour bro

#

lol

bleak cedar
#

damn...

#

The mod is called Strangereal Ace Combat Universe base on a video game called Ace Combat

faint lichen
#

which ace combat game?

bleak cedar
#

all of them

faint lichen
#

I know a little lore but dont play the games

#

I know is there was a war a couple times

#

and nukes and shit

bleak cedar
#

pretty much

#

due to the scale, were just working on a continent at a time. Like how OWB does.

faint lichen
#

gotcha

#

I would love to make my own mod, but zero ideas

#

got the drive, not the idea

#

lol

shrewd hemlock
#

Damn... I didn't knew my two-men-team is actually big team. 😅

faint lichen
#

thats like more progress than TNO and OWB trust

shrewd hemlock
#

Never played those two.

faint lichen
#

they are eh

bleak cedar
#

honestly, we need more people.

faint lichen
#

it always helps to have more people

#

you could go ask for recruits on the hoi4 modding reddit

shrewd hemlock
#

But are they dedicated people?

faint lichen
#

that or draft your friends

bleak cedar
#

tried reddit but it hates me

faint lichen
#

reddit is a place

#

thats all I'm gonna say on reddit

#

the rules have me in chains rn lol

bleak cedar
#

no i mean i made a post and reddit straight up blocked it

shrewd hemlock
#

I guess that is what he means by what he said.

faint lichen
#

and I hate reddit, we are not the same

bleak cedar
#

even tried steam... no luck

faint lichen
#

atleast this channel is pretty chill

#

better than off topic

bleak cedar
#

yeah

faint lichen
#

off topic was really bad the first day the server became official

#

it was funny

#

I have screenshots

bleak cedar
#

lol

faint lichen
#

multiple of my friends got banned in 5 minutes

#

very funny

#

it was a good laugh

bleak cedar
#

there was a hoi4 community but any modding relating got purge couple months ago

shrewd hemlock
#

Well

#

When you release your first version and people like it

faint lichen
#

oh yeah, btw is there a way to have a focus only available after a certain amount of capitulation?

shrewd hemlock
#

you will get at least a few kids/teens begging you to get them in your team.

faint lichen
#

like the desperate defense decision?

shrewd hemlock
#

So if you are scrapping the barrel.... you will get your manpower.

faint lichen
#

lol

shrewd hemlock
#

But I can't say that the quality of those soldiers will be... satisfying...

faint lichen
#

thats actually a realy good analogy

shrewd hemlock
#

It is the truth.

#

I have been in different rising mods's discord servers

#

and I was wanted like fresh bread.

#

When mod authors share their experiences in a conversations it turns out

#

people don't have dedication to mod

#

and are mostly kids/teens.

faint lichen
#

hoi fanbase

shrewd hemlock
#

So you can feel blessed if you get a half decent guy

bleak cedar
#

yeah

shrewd hemlock
#

who can at least do his job on time, let alone in a quality.

faint lichen
#

just teach your buddy how to do focuses

#

it's like scraping the barrel but different

shrewd hemlock
#

I don't want to. I will have to fix them later. 😩

bleak cedar
#

F

faint lichen
#

yeah, but atleast they are there in the files

shrewd hemlock
#

Yes. There for me. Waiting to be examined and fixed.

#

😅

#

(😭)

faint lichen
#

you could literally just give them the hoi4 wiki

#

the modding section of the hoi wiki

#

that's how I learned like half of my modding

shrewd hemlock
#

And get 1K notifications on my phone why his 1-line code does not work...

#

and then I just tell him that he needs to use the brackets properly.

faint lichen
#

thats what the wiki is for

shrewd hemlock
#

And this repeats and repeats...

#

No dedication.

faint lichen
#

or just go into the base game files

shrewd hemlock
#

You have to push them to learn.

faint lichen
#

and just take shit from that

shrewd hemlock
#

I know. But people give up too easily.

faint lichen
#

yeah, keep in mind I said "scraping the barrel but different"

shrewd hemlock
#

😩

faint lichen
#

lol

#

oh yeah, btw is there a way to have a focus only available after a certain amount of capitulation?

#

is this possible?

shrewd hemlock
#

Yes.

#

Let me check the triggers/conditions section on the modding wiki...

#

Cause I don't have the codes memorised .

#

Only a memory of it's existence.

#

There it is.

faint lichen
#

funny part

#

I did that

#

let me pull up my file

#

wait

#

would it go in the prerequisite part?

#

or just out like the id and stuff?

shrewd hemlock
#

Prereqs.

#

That is why I said triggers/conditions.

faint lichen
shrewd hemlock
#

...

#

what is this focus = establish_soveregnity?

#

O.o

#

Do you mean has_completed_focus = establish_soveregnity?

faint lichen
#

lol

shrewd hemlock
#

Mio Dio...

faint lichen
#

the previous focus has no relation

shrewd hemlock
#

But there is no code like this...

faint lichen
#

it was just easy to put it there

shrewd hemlock
#

Oh wait...

#

offfffffffffffffffffffffffff

#

Sorry...

#

available...

#

There is where you need to put it.

#

Prereqs is for the connections between focuses.

#

available = {
surrender_progress > 0.5
}

faint lichen
#

oh yeah

shrewd hemlock
#

Sorryyyyyyyy

faint lichen
#

thx chief

#

all good

#

you have been a greater help than anyone else today

shrewd hemlock
#

I know my stuff.

#

Just not in the morning with 5 hours of sleep...

faint lichen
#

yeah, it's 1:47 am here

shrewd hemlock
#

I stood until 03:00 in the morning fixing localization from my other team member.

#

I am still fixing it...

faint lichen
#

localisation can be monke beyond belief

shrewd hemlock
#

Yes, but a German with a bad English is worse...

faint lichen
#

like, sometimes it makes me want to just bash my head into a tree until the the dots and underscores make sense

shrewd hemlock
#

Good thing I studied German myself so I understand what he tried to write...

shrewd hemlock
#

Yes, I also have problems with that.

#

I let the Force guide me on this one. 😅

faint lichen
#

hoi modding is wack sometimes oi vey

faint lichen
#

oh wait

#

I have a mod idea for event modding

#

practice

#

an updated border conflict mod

shrewd hemlock
shrewd hemlock
faint lichen
#

I could use it

#

as me and my buddies play a mod called randomizer

shrewd hemlock
#

It has a solid potential to be good.

faint lichen
#

and only good memes could come out of it lmao

shrewd hemlock
#

Well, get decifering the Chinese Warlords's decisions and events for their border conflicts.

bleak cedar
shrewd hemlock
#

Cause I don't want to get there.

faint lichen
#

ya know

#

I'm tired

shrewd hemlock
faint lichen
#

I'll do it tomorrow

shrewd hemlock
#

But they require a lot of micro.

faint lichen
#

no frontline orders

shrewd hemlock
#

And that can annoy the sh*t out of some people.

shrewd hemlock
faint lichen
#

only stab bonuses

shrewd hemlock
#

and if you are a bit serious with them they have a 70% chance to call you mean and screw everything.

bleak cedar
faint lichen
#

he's keeping you on the grind

bleak cedar
#

its hard to be on the grind when theres a major map bug you can't bloody fix no matter how hard you try. And if you ask anyone about this bug, everyone else tells you to just debug the mod and fix the other errors first. thus you'll find the cause...

faint lichen
shrewd hemlock
#

I asked several places if somebody knows why my state modifier has no icon.

#

Only here one guy spent time to try together to fix this issue.

#

We still could not find the problem, but I will for ever remember that it is here that I found help.

faint lichen
#

half the time you do find help, half the time not

shrewd hemlock
#

Less...

#

XD

bleak cedar
#

Yeah

#

it be like that

shrewd hemlock
#

Help comes so rarely that in Bulgaria we have a saying about helping yourself.

#

Cause chances are higher for you to figure it out on your own

#

instead of waiting for help from outside.

faint lichen
#

well

#

it's been a nice convo boys

#

but I'm gonna hit the hay

bleak cedar
#

In America, its called "Do it yourself you lazy bum"

shrewd hemlock
#

Good idea. Good rest to you!

faint lichen
#

yeah

bleak cedar
#

gn

faint lichen
#

it doesnt help that the majority of my problems in hoi are solved by looking at the base game code

#

anyways

#

night dudes

shrewd hemlock
bleak cedar
#

True but there are some just simply make no sense whatsoever

#

@shrewd hemlock may i ask you a question?

bleak cedar
#

I came across this bug "delivery blocked" even though each country has naval bases and convoys. I know that the only way to fix this is by using the nudge tool in the buildings tab and clicking the "randomize all states" button. Thus, creates three files in the map folder. But they are Empty. Every time. Any idea what may be causing this?

shrewd hemlock
#

Did you added new states by chance?

bleak cedar
#

New countries, states, resources, the map is completely different compare to base game. And the world is mostly empty, kinda like OWB world.

shrewd hemlock
#

It sounds like somebody forgot to add the new state to the supply region.

#

You need to open the nudge tool and add the state to a supply region

#

or open the text file and add it manually there.

#

If you do the second option, make sure it is not added anywhere else

#

or = crash

astral lake
#

Supply areas aren't a thing any more

#

Do you mean strategic regions?

shrewd hemlock
#

Fernando!

#

:OOO

#

The Hero of the modders is here!

bleak cedar
#

i feel like a monkey...

astral lake
#

I'm not very experienced with map modding and I don't think i've faced this particular issue yet.

shrewd hemlock
#

I have, but if the Supply Areas are not existing anymore

#

than my info/experience is outdated.

#

😅

#

Scusi!

bleak cedar
astral lake
#

The nudge tool is a fickle beast that has some parts work on one patch and then be broken on another.

#

Does it tell you what error it finds on state 1?

faint lichen
#

no

bleak cedar
shrewd hemlock
#

🤌🏻

bleak cedar

astral lake
#

In your Documents > Paradox Interactive > Hearts of Iron IV folder is there a folder called map?

bleak cedar
#

yes but its empty

astral lake
#

How about a folder called history?

bleak cedar
#

empty

shrewd hemlock
#

Looks like his word had a Nuclear Winter.

bleak cedar
#

there is a states folder in there but empty

astral lake
#

Could you post the state's history code?

shrewd hemlock
#

Did you copy the mod without the history files???

bleak cedar
#

the states files?

astral lake
#

I was just checking if they had left nudge files left over

shrewd hemlock
#

You have tons of stuff there, not just states.

bleak cedar
#

everything in here... theres so many

#

there's like 400 files

shrewd hemlock
#

Good.

bleak cedar
#

oh boy...

shrewd hemlock
#

But it is usually a bad idea to copy other mod and try to fix it without the author helping out.

#

Cause you have no idea what the author did to get to this point.

bleak cedar
#

its not a sub mod

#

is a stand alone mod

#

its a overhual mod'

shrewd hemlock
#

Even worse.

#

Overhaul mods have too many strings.

#

😅

#

Anyway, I need to finish this localization check before my next shift.

#

Good luck!

bleak cedar
#

thanks

astral lake
#

So all provinces are in states.
All states should be in a strategic region.

#

Generally all states should be owned.

bleak cedar
#

it needs to be own? then how did OWB team did it if most of the states is not own?

astral lake
#

Maybe I'm wrong then

bleak cedar
#

But thank you for the help though

shrewd hemlock
#

I have done it before.

#

And yes, OWB has that too.

#

ISP even showed a mod where you need to recolonise the world.

astral lake
#

You cannot transfer ownership of an unowned state without the game crashing I think

shrewd hemlock
#

Never tried, sooo...

#

😅

#

I will have to take your word for it.

regal hamlet
#

The portraits for dlc characters are in their respective dlc folders

shrewd hemlock
#

Oh, you change just the portrait graphic, not switch it in the characters file.

#

Got it.

regal hamlet
#

They show up blank

#

In order to change them I removed the old one and put the new one in

#

It works if I mod the path directly but not if I mod it with a@mod@ file

#

So it does not work when I upload it for my friends

fallen forum
#

So for the Great War mod which political advisor do I need to add to turn the US authoritarian

shrewd hemlock
#

You have updated it and your checksum is the same as your friends's, right?

#

Assuming you guys play it in MP.

regal hamlet
#

It doesn’t work through the mod

#

It only works through editing the actual files themselves

#

I’ll investigate this further

Do your friends have the same files in the original game folder as yours?

regal hamlet
#

yeah i edited them but saved back ups

#

the only way we got it to work was for my friends to edit the same files

#

it works fine except for the DLC portraits

#

which are located in other files

#

I copied the dlc pathway directly, did not affect anything

Any good fascist britain mod?

#

Cant find none

shrewd hemlock
# regal hamlet fixed it

Thing is that you never edit the original files in the game folder.
You only copy what you need to your mod folder and then you edit the mod files.

#

When the mod is finished, you upload it to the workshop, your friends download it, and then you all enjoy the game.

shrewd hemlock

about it

What is the best plan of action to get a steam hoi4 mod updated?
I am talking about
5x research by Blacknight404
The playable india fix by rebelrebel

Or is there a option to update the version without having source files?

shrewd hemlock
#

You can not update the mod without the source files.

#

You have to upload them again into a different mod.

hexed snow
#

Yeah ,sad.
You know of modders who would reply in just days to get mods updated?

shrewd hemlock
#

Everything changes. I was updating my mods almost daily.

#

But now it is different.

#

Rarely is because the subscribers requested an update, that the author would update his mod.

#

At some points the author just has more important stuff to do, can not be bothered to debug and check if everything works and what needs to be fixed to update it, or just mods something else.

hexed snow
#

I do get it, hard when you also for most people need to do a payed job too weekly

shrewd hemlock
#

If PDX implements their modding system from CK3 that shows the player what are the differences from his mod and the base game

#

then it would be much easier to update mods.

#

Syndicalism was a prominent form of Communism until the Second Internationale iirc

astral lake
#

If you use Syndicalism in your mod you're going to get compared to KR.

#

The best way to deal with that is not give a damn.

true tundra
#

tell me

#

what syndicalism is

#

is it like stalinism

#

or leninism

#

or trotskysm

buoyant dove
#

There are three large tenants

#

The anarcho-syndicalists which believe that unions should play the leading force in a revolution to overthrow capitalism and the state and a prominent example would by CNT-FAI from the Spanish Civil War

#

The syndicalism’s that you would see in KR want a state where workers are given power through the control of the state by trade unions

#

Then there is national syndicalism which was itself divided but generally it’s syndicalism or corporatism + fascism and an example is the Falange Española de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (FE de las JONS which was active in Spain until 1937 when it merged with the Francoists

queen sorrel

what does the command "relative_position_id" do when making a national focus

astral lake
queen sorrel
#

I get it

astral lake
#

Good incase you have to move an entire tree over

queen sorrel
#

do those x and y statements used before the relative position command decide where it goes relative to the other focus

astral lake
#

Yes

#

Although the properties don't particularly matter I think

#

So that focus would be 1 down and -2 away from FIN_russian_trade_profiteering

an ideology tree?

yes like the forms of government

You would have to copy the common/ideologies/00_ideologies.txt into the new mod but it would cause a lot of problems

what do you mean

would it break the game

#

if a person created the ideology for one mod could i possibly find a seprate file to which the ideology was attached and just download that ?

buoyant dove
#

When you are copying ideologies over, anything that refers to an ideology would break if those former ideologies no longer exist and if you just add on to the already existing ideologies then they serve no purppose

#

they would serve the purpose of me being able to add the tree i want thats the purpose i wish to create in my game. can i do that

you could do that yes
