Hydration is important and you'll likely spend a good amount of time waiting in the lobby - In the game: Make sure your multiplayer name matches your discord name (the change name function is in the top left of the MP menu,.make it something other than Player.). Hearts of Iron IV is a strategy based video game based on World War II. The game has been developed by Paradox Interactive. The game usually tends to attract people who play FPS and MOBA games. The game was released on June 6, 2016. Hearts of Iron IV is the sequel to Hearts of Iron. A political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution, class, or large group that explains how society should work and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain social order. However, ideologies are often poorly defined or articulated, and can vary substantially according to political, cultural,. Command: tagcolor: Effect: Test setting a country's color: How to Open the HOI4 Command Console: Press the key to open the console. The key is usually below the Esc key and to the left of the 1 key.
Firstly you want a folder and .mod file inside of /mod/.. , or if you have Their Finest Hour: /tfh/mod/..
After this you should go here [ http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?548955-HoI3PosEd ] and download the HoI3PosEd, this is a program that reads the country, province and unit files and allows you to look and edit them a bit more easily, as well as basically making editing which country owns what province not insanity-driving.
The mod folder should be something like ExampleMod, inside the .mod file you shouldat the least be using this setup:
name = 'An Example Mod' - This is the text loaded up in the HOI3 Splash screen
path = 'tfh/mod/ExampleMod' - The path to the mod folder
extend = 'common' - extend basically means replace any files of the same name
extend = 'history'
extend = 'localisation'
extend = 'gfx'
Before getting into the files, in almost all cases keep one of the original game's files next to what you are making, because in most cases typos or not following the format WILL break how the game runs, however luckily they are quick fixes compared to other games' modding, as almost all the files you will be working with are text based.
Now for the files themselves, at minimum a country needs the following:
/common/countries.txt - This sets the Tag for the country, and then points to one of the txt files for the country, if you look at the file inside the game's common, you should get the idea of it pretty easily - also do not forget to have rebels included into it, also do not forget to have #'s, these act as comments, and tell the game to ignore text behind it, allowing you to note down things.
Example:
# North America
TEX = 'countries/New Texas.txt'
Also do not forget to port over:' REB = 'countries/Rebels.txt' ' as it makes sure rebels are present
/common/country_colors.txt - this sets the colours for the countries units, in standard Red, Green, Blue 0-255 values, in this format:
# New Texas
TEX = {
color1= { 69 200 208 }
color2= { 124 200 162 }
color3= { 137 200 124 }
}
Hoi4 Change Country Name
/common/countries/. - this is the first of the big txt files for a country, and are made up of these 'chunks':
color = {R G B} - The colour values of the country when in political map-mode ingame
graphical_culture = Generic - The culture the game uses when loading unit sprites and other things
last_election = 1935.10.14duration = 60- Pretty obvious, the last election in YYYY.MM.DD, then how long an election lasts in days
default_templates = {
TAG_name = {
typeOf_brigade
}
}- The starting templates available when going into constructing a division, like when playing the USA, one template is the national guard right? this is where it is defined
- typeOf_brigade is the brigade type, e.g. infantry_brigade, if you want to find what they are then look inside /units/.. inside the main game's files.
After this are the unit_names, which are all the pregenerated names for brigades, corps, armies and ships and so on that you see ingame, they work in this format:
unit_names = {
typeOf_brigade = {
'Text'[space]'Text'[space]'text'[so on and so on]
}
anotherTypeOf_brigade = {
'Text'[space]'Text'[space]'text'[so on and so on]
}
}
This is where allllll those ministers you use in the politics screen are defined
ministers = {
leaderNumber = {
name = 'NameyName'
ideology = market_liberal
loyalty = 1.00
picture = M45001
positionTheyCanOccupy = trait
anotherPositionTheyCanOccupy = trait
start_date = 1936.1.1
}
}
leaderNumber - Recommended to save 100 for every nation you make, this is the number used for all leaders ingame, so each minister, and every division, corp, army, etc., airgroup, fleet leader, so its best to have 100 for every minister, then have a large space then work on for military leaders
e.g.: country a has 1 to 100, b has 101 to 199, then so on, and then getting to military leaders starting from a having 10001 to 10099, with lets say 50 countries, leaving 5000 spaces for any more you think up
name = 'text' - the name of the person, duh
Ec sc73861 driver windows 7. ideology = ideology_name - the political ideology they follow, look inside common/ideologies, then copy the name of the side you want.
loyalty = 0.00 to 1.00 - don't know exactly, think its to do with event triggers
picture = M0 - M00000 - the picture used, look inside /gfx/pictures/portraits then scroll down a bunch, you have a metric TON of pictures to use, but if you want your own then recreate the folder structure in your mod folder, then make your own - remember extend simply replaces anything with the same name, so you can just make your own M0 and use that.
positionTheyCanOccupy = trait - the position the minister can be selected for, for the position look inside common/government_positions, for traits look inside common/minister_types
start_date = YYYY.MM.DD - the date the minster is available for selection for
gfx/flags/..
VERY IMPORTANT, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS A COUNTRY NEEDS - the flag you place when you conquer a new territory, and the flag your new nation will be known by when it conquers the ground beneath it's glorious Armies!!!
.tga files, saved as the TAG the nation has been assigned in the common/countries.txt
If you need a program to open and edit them, download Paint.NET, it's free and works for what you need it to do Whatsapp web apk.
history/countries/TAG - CountryName.txt
The rest of the important data for a country, made up of chunks as follows:
capital = provinceNumber - the province the country calls it's capital, this is simplified MASSIVELY by using HoI3PosEd, then looking around, clicking on a province, then noting down the number
government = type - look inside common/governments.txt for the one you want, Paradox has also added in comments explaining some of the bits the government allows inside each type in that file
ideology = type - the ideology the country follows, inside governments.txt are the ones you can choose from
head_of_state = number
head_of_government = number
foreign_minister = number
armament_minister = number
minister_of_security = number
minister_of_intelligence = number
chief_of_staff = number
chief_of_army = number
chief_of_navy = number
chief_of_air = number
- the starting ministers of the country, the ones available defined inside common/countries/.. in your country txt file
alignment = { x = value y = value } - the x and y co-ordinates the country starts at in the triangle in the diplomacy tab
neutrality = 0-100 - obvious
national_unity = 0-100 - obvious
money = value - obvious
[PRACTICAL/THEORY]
[TECHS]
- if you look into the base game's files, you can find out how these work, they basically assign which tech/how much practical and theory the country has at the start of the game
oob = 'TAG_1936.txt' - the OOB the country starts off with, explained later on
popularity = {
national_socialist = 0
fascistic = 0
paternal_autocrat = 0
social_conservative = 39
market_liberal = 0
social_liberal = 61
social_democrat = 0
left_wing_radical = 0
leninist = 0
stalinist = 0
}
organization = {
national_socialist = 0
fascistic = 0
paternal_autocrat = 0
social_conservative = 80
market_liberal = 0
social_liberal = 85
social_democrat = 0
left_wing_radical = 0
leninist = 0
stalinist = 0
}
- the popularity and organisation of the political parties in the country, shown in the politics tab ingame
- every single province ingame with the province number, inside each is at minimum these bits of code:owner = PER
controller = PER
add_core = PER
infra = value
- the owner being who currently owns the province
- controller being who controls it, so e.g. when at war with a country, the other nation controls it, causing those angled lines to cross the province
- add_core being like cores in other Paradox games
- infra is the infrastructure level of the province
now before you even begin to think of editing it one by one, DON'T, JUST. GET. HOI3POSED. IT WILL SAVE YOU SO MUCH TIME I PROMISE
Also do not forget to copy over the REB - Rebels.txt from the game's history/countries/ folder.
history/units/..
here are the txt files that hold the starting units of a country, and are worked and tweaked as the game goes, and are connected to a country by the history/countries/country.txt file created above, they work as follows, and work kinda the same for each layer of OOB, for everything else than those listed here, look at the game's OOBs in the same folder setup
DIVISONS:
division= {
name = 'text'
location = provinceNumber
is_reserve = value
regiment = { type = typeOf_brigade experience = value historical_model = value }
regiment = { type = typeOf_brigade experience = value historical_model = value }
regiment = { type = typeOf_brigade experience = value historical_model = value }
}
FLEETS:
navy = {
name = 'text'
base = provinceThatHasANavalBaseInIt
location = provinceTheFleetIsIn
ship = { type = heavy_cruiser name = 'name' historical_model = value }
ship = { type = heavy_cruiser name = 'name' historical_model = value }
ship = { type = light_cruiser name = 'name' historical_model = value }
ship = { type = light_cruiser name = 'name' historical_model = value }
ship = { type = light_cruiser name = 'name' historical_model = value }
}
AIR WINGS:
air = {
name = 'name'
base = provinceThatHasAnAirfieldInIt
location = provinceTheWingIsIn
wing = { type = tactical_bomber name = 'name' historical_model = value }
wing = { type = interceptor name = 'name' historical_model = value }
}
STUFF THAT IS IN CONSTRUCTION IN THE PRODUCTION TAB:
military_construction = {
country = TAG
typeOfUnit = {
name = 'name'
historical_model = value
}
cost = value
progress = value
duration = value
}
type - look inside the game files /units/.. for all the unit types
historical_model - this I think is the value of the equipment the unit has
THE LAST THING TO ADD IN
localisation/countries.txt
this is the where the names and adjectives for the countries are set, and at minimum should have these:
