A.E.I.O.U.!

Introducing a look at part of the Germany focus tree for the release update. This brings basic focus as of 1.0 but will be expanded on and runs from 1949-1956. I hope you enjoy this and I will try to work harder on future updates.

Hello everyone! Today we present Red Japan's Start-off embattled leader, Kazuo Fukumoto and his two paths to success. Will he buckle under pressure and compromise or will he double down? The choice is yours to make as you guide the Worker's Union through a typhoon of uncertainty.

Hey, I am a long time modder and genuinely enjoy writing scripts and creating new stuff, but recently I saw that a mod maker was on the steam workshop as well as being advertised here. I believe that coding is one of the funnest parts of modding and that these simple programs take that out of it. I enjoy learning new mechanics and how to mod them into the game, but I fear that these tools will bring 1. A massive amount of mods with no real care put into them and 2. That future modders won't even know how hoi4 code works. What do you think about modding tools?

Not that experienced in coding for Hoi4, looking for people willing to fill that role (credits will of course be given). I personally will be the lead writer (as the mod is my idea and the lore is made by me). A general overview of the lore is below.

The year is 2050, the USA, with help from the European Union, defeated Russia in World War III (2033 - 2040), which was caused by Russia's attack on Georgia (which was mostly caused by revanchism following Russia's defeat in Ukraine). While WWIII was ongoing, China and North Korea fought against Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan in the Great East Asian War (2037 - 2039). The GEAW ended in a stalemate, with China annexing Taiwan and Korea being united by South Korea. Putin is assassinated in 2041 and is replaced by Medvedev. Stability has mostly returned to the congo under the US-aligned Republic of Congo. Canada is dealing with tons of unrest in Quebec which threatens full-scale revolution. The Middle East is largely quiet apart from a civil war in Egypt, with the Israel-Palestine conflict being put to rest following Palestine's defeat of Israel in 2027. Russia remains under Medvedev, but Medvedev's health is failing, and internal threats from the CPRF and LDPR threaten to tear Russia apart. Not to mention there is an ever-growing rift between the USA and Europe despite their continued alliance under NATO.

Let me know if you want to help make A New Dawn, or ask questions about the lore if you want.

In the mod I'm making, only the first and last ideas show up for the country (tag OWL). I was wondering why this happens; I tried changing the syntax and making sure each bracket is paired correctly, but nothing works.

For example, Germany cant release their kingdoms like Bavaria and Canada cant release Quebec
Usually they need to complete a focus to release them but when I make a decision with the exact same effect as the focus it doesnt work
How would I make a mod that allows for example Germany to release all of their releasables?

Iron and Ashes is a mod that answers the question of "What if Poland lost the Soviet-Polish War?".
The mod is in its early stages and in need of Coders and GFX artists.

Hi, I'm editing the states of the "Antarctica Redux" mod for personal use. The issue is that since I'm modifying states i need to use the Nudge tool to adjust the buildings. However, the mod I took the files from already has a 'buildings.txt' file, so I would have to overwrite it to apply my changes. How can I keep both the base mod's changes and the ones I make using Nudge?

I 'learnt' to mod two days ago so I pretty much don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Any help is appreciated

Also, I post it here because they won't let me at r/hoi4modding

Where can I find the localisation file for generic tooltips like "generic_skip_one_line_tt"? There isn't a "generic_l_english" file and it also isn't in "effect_l_english" or "triggers_l_english".

Have you ever wondered what if German communists got expelled to Midway Island in 1936?

Well I did!

In this mod the GDR got founded on Midway Island once the Nazis abandoned them there in 1936!

And soon you can take control over this country too!

(Only the starting tree, as shown, is available at the moment)

z_corner_cutting.txt

equipment_modules = {
    corner_cutting_module = {
        abbreviation = "cc_mod"
        category = tank_special_module
        sfx = sfx_ui_sd_module_turret
        gfx = GFX_EMI_tank_module_easy_maintenance_access
        add_stats = {
            reliability = -0.15
        }
        multiply_stats = {
            build_cost_ic = -0.30
        }
        xp_cost = 5
    }
}

I want to make a mod that adds just one new tank module, but for some reason, the game won't let me add a module. However, for some reason, vanilla modules are somehow changeable.
so what code should i change for it
the 00_tank_modules.txt its regular code i copy in hoi4 folder
same as tank_chassis.txt

descriptor.mod

version="1.0"
tags={
    "Alternative History"
    "Military"
    "Technologies"
}
name="Corner Cutting Submod"
supported_version="1.19.2.0"
path="mod/CCS"

So I made my own HOI4 mod, and I wanted to publish it to the Steam Workshop. But for some reason, I got this error

All the Reunification Super events that comes with the launch of the upcoming mod HOI4 mod, Northern Front: Reclamation Day.
A HOI4 mod about a fictional Norwegian Civil war

The Super Events trigger when you have done the last focus to Unify the Country again. There is one for each of the Playable nations, and more depending on path

I am working on my small mod, and have created it before 1.17 and the No Compromise No Surrender update. For some time now my game crashes when I select a Japanese division.

1. I have tried to edit another nation's oob and make it Japan's oob since I thought this was a template issue. It didnt work.

2. All another nations in the Asia region do not have this issue, in fact all other nations on Earth do not have it.

3. I thought this was hardcoded post-1.17 to the JAP tag, so I changed the JAP tag to a JPN tag, but the game still crashed after I selected a single division.

4. Divisions in other parts of the world seem to be selected just fine, and volunteers can be selected just fine. When my divisions return to Japan and i select it, the game crashes.

Has anyone else experienced this? This happened even before the 1.17 update.

I tried to add a custom focus icon but nothing really works, so if someone could help me, I'd be glad!

i got another stupid idea for a mod (other then DRO) for which i need a custom map but i legit have no clue on how to make it work. game just crashes once it tries to use my test province map(there is only 1 sea and land provinces/tiles).

i dont want to use genmap or whatever its called .

worst part is that there are NO tutorials on how to make a map from 0 without using that thing.
