I really need help, i have followed your tutorial and checked if i have done anything wrong but i have done everything like you said in the tutorial but still the map is just the regular world but all countries are missing provinces

@gu1270 3 года назад

I recently started to get interested in modding but I am a complete beginner and have no experience. Thankfully there are awesome people like you in this world which help out a lot. Thanks man

@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS 2 года назад

boundaries imput is usefull when u want to make specific country borders, cuz the rovinces will generate according to the boundaries, but sadly the states wont, so u gotta edit the states later in the nudge tool, but the provinces will be correctly placed.

@user-tg4xf3ez5c 2 года назад

Спасибо, что помог. Изначально взял карты оригинальные + из модов. И путем проб и ошибок работал с ними, создавая свою.

@retrowave69 2 года назад

doing anything other than the example map will just give the vanilla map. How do I fix this?

@eoulapa 2 года назад

Is the replace_path needed changed after the update featuring railroads and new stuff?

@Alperen-lh6ep 2 года назад

I had no problems with the map. But since the places that should be cities on the map are forests, manpower is very low. Moreover, no matter how much I try to fix from nudge and files, it doesn't work. Can you help me?

@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS 2 года назад

Iirc, the nudge changes are stored in documents/Hearts of iron IV Copy the files that are created (cuz it will create the file with the edited data u did in nudge) like search for state or strategic region or something weird, and copy paste to ur mod file

@MrUthasaur 4 месяца назад

I have a problem, after creating the mod, in the "definition.csv" folder I have only 46 provinces, not several thousand as you have in the video, which may be the problem, I did everything as you did, and downloaded Map Gen from your link.

@angelorap1974 3 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial

@johndunaj9876 2 года назад

I'm having difficulty getting my mod to actually read anything from the docs folder. Nudge will write to the proper file paths but the mod seems to be taking priority over that folder path and Base hoi4 files any solution so that nudge can work properly again? super tedious dragging any changes made to the mod files before any are tested and all before making the next change to preserve the proper ID structure.

@crispychips7161 3 года назад

@VladislaviaHuman 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, do you know if someone is still working on MapGen or is it abandoned?

@Cheesekrieg 2 года назад

I believe the MapGen that OP provided was abandoned, if you search hard enough you may find it. However, the old MapGen is easy to navigate and still works just fine; don't sweat it.

@stellarstrategygaming1062 3 года назад

hey I keep getting the error log map/weatherpositions.txt is empty what is the fix?

@rebelsj2159 3 года назад

Its no big issue. Its always there. I wouldnt worry about it for a while, but to fix it you head on over to the nudger, and I believe theres a weather tab and you generate the weather and i think it gives a few options, then in documents/paradox/hoi4/map/ youll find “weather.txt”. Simply copy and paste into mod folder and it should have all the correct weather set up, hope this makes sense and helped.

@boxcarz 2 года назад

Crashes to desktop during loading: Error log tells me, for example, State 1 in my mod and State 1 in the vanilla HoI4 folder both exist, and this is... Somehow a conflict. Also, it insists that my mod is calling State 1 "Corsica", despite the fact that when I look in history/1-State_1, it clearly just says "State 1", not Corsica.

@johndunaj9876 2 года назад

Corsica is base games state 1 ID hence why its Corsica.

@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS 2 года назад

I think u must add in the [modmame].mod "replace_path="history/states" "replace_path="hostory/countries"

@retrowave69 2 года назад

your discord link is expired so I have to ask here. When I load up the launcher, it forcibly deletes the code in my .mod file that tells the game to replace the vanilla files with the ones in my mod. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it?

@retrowave69 2 года назад

actually seems to not be a huge issue, just for some reason doesn't stop nations from spawning into the game. Most of them end up in sea tiles though.

@andreasdalsgaard3354 Год назад

@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS 2 года назад

help, im getting a error message that says that very bad errors exist and i must fix them, game doesnt even load half way, and crash log isnt created, instead it is written in logs/error.log, it just says the ITA, GER and ENG missing thing and the adjacency_rules thing that we fix in part 2, so should i do it, cuz i didnt get the last part were u assign the thousands of provinces to the supply area, cuz i dont get the error file EDIT: error message: FAILED TO LOAD MAP some errors are present in map definitions and were registered in error.log Turn off your mods and try again, if that doesn't work, check steam files integrity. if that doesn't work, try to clean your user directory in the launcher Edit: nvm im just stupid and opened the game not in debug mode accidentally

Okay so I have a world I created at school with definied country borders, how do I make it so that the provinces and states align with the preset borders? Is that what the boundary map is?

@TheTrooper1878 2 года назад

You should go in the file of the state and select the provinces there. You can see the number of a province by hovering your mouse over it in the nudge.

@retrowave69 2 года назад

short answer: yes. Long answer: The boundary map influences the states, which in turn influences the provinces to be shaped differently so the states can line up correctly.

For map to work, u must use valid files in mapgen Here the requisites: Must be, iirc, 5632 by 2048 pixels size Must be 24 bit file Must be either bmp or png when u drag it into the mapgen U must use exact rbg (or very similar so it can correct them when u drag to mapgen) code colors when making the zones in the base and terrain files, or it won't work All files must be EXACT SAME SIZE, and the land parts must coincide

@nikfis4038 Год назад

I have started making an own mod but editing the states is very buggy is there any tool or something except the nudger

@jayhop960 Год назад

@@nikfis4038 highly unlikely, it is easiest to just use nudger, if youre unable to use nudge, you can still technically edit your mod via the sublime text /notepad++ and other software. there may be alternatives somewhere on google, but my trust in them would not be too high. this is tricky because nudge is the main go to for this, many mods relied and still do rely on this tool, buggy in which aspect? crashing not functioning properly, laggy, states and provinces can be adjusted in many ways. nudger is the best however its not impossible, you should come over to the iron workshops discord, we have great mods who can work with you consistently and help you on this more in depth
