[HOI4 Modding] Creating a new province 

Where’d u get those files from tho

Whats the vanilla folder

@@sketchyboi8868 Your installation folder and in there within /map EDIT: I'd like to point out though that this video is probably outdated. Since NSB changed how supply works

^EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Thanks!

HighRock thanks a lot!

Thanks

You my good sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

thank you for this, for some reason this isn't anywhere on the wiki or documentation

OMG TY SO MUCH❤

MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Before any one comments i know mac can use others like photoshop!

@@Arranus all this ignores the fact that hoi4 is windows exclusive lol

@@elliotbull3085 wait I didn't even know that

@@elliotbull3085 that’s false I have played it before on Mac OS. But I downloaded windows on my computer so I can mod

If u were making it in the ocean ud need to change heightmap.bmp too

all that work for an ocean province 💀

ty

So I can just skip the step

Hopefully this time it will go better :)

The Iron Workshop Hopefully, thanks for the videos! Keep it up!

this is really not the tutorial you should start with, start with making a country or state, it's MUCH, MUCHHHH easier

Noooooooo

Im actually doing the same thing lol, aswell as making accurate Ottoman Borders in the Arabian Desert

Same XD 300 Province germany >;)

You are now officially a mooder!

Am.... I have a problem. The pathfinding in the new provinces is messed up. I order the division to go left, but it goes right. Has this happened to you? There are no errors at the start of the game.

Not something that I encountered... How many provinces did you add? Does it happen in all of them? And yeah I am planning on doing more mod reviews.

@@TheIronWorkshop I have added 4 more and then used two other (existing) to make one state.

@@TheIronWorkshop Ok, I have found the issue. I have forgotten to place the unit positions properly in the new provinces while in the Nudge. That cause the pathfinding issues that I had. Thank you for the response anyway! Have a good day! ^.^

@@pillbox2079 Ahh yes, always do that for new provinces. Glad you got it solved 👍

Now just need the processing power/optimization to handle all of that properly.

No it doesn't.

@@Natogoon It does though, I had accidentally created another province and it auto-created it.

@@quantumLocked033 same, i created 3 new provinces and when i got into hoi4 in debug mode, the provinces were already pretty much done

Imperio Mexicano with the nudge tool you can make a bunch of provinces into a state. in the History/States folder you can then assign the states to a nation (also new created nations ofc)

Bab itzky sorry but where can i find that tool? Or do that

Just look at the earlier videos of Iron Workshop. He has shown to get the debug mode which is how you get the extra cool stuff.

+Mackenzie Braden but debug mode is not the same than the nudge tool or that thing that he said

Imperio Mexicano Launch your game in debug mode, on the main menu there will be a new option called Nudge

Glad to help

+The Iron Workshop hey is there a way to change the cities victory points??

kz h Yes, you gotta go to the history/states folder, select the state you city is in, there you will find a vicotry points section. example: 64 (Brandenburg) history> victory ponits = {3521} (Berlin) = 50, you can add another province or change that value

Bab itzky i've tried that but it didn't work

kz h To change the value you have to enter the province id, not the state id, did you mind that?

you have to write 34y65783t3465iubdfgsysk5834658;58e578f3l;;;55845

@Justha214 Yeah, I got it. Still thanks for caring after quite a long time! ^^

@@J_Gamer_Mapping What was the solution? I'm currently having that problem and I can't figure it out.

0 = water (lakes, oceans), 1 = land a bit late ik xd

if you followed the tutorial i dont know, but one good way is go into debug mode and hover over a province in a game, it will give you a province id like 6259 (part of jutland i think)

sorry im late

Building slots are determined by the type of state it is, which is found in history folder. A city type state will have more building slots than say a rural state type or a wasteland state type.

I’m pretty sure they still use supply regions but very little

Nvm you gotta use supply_nodes and railways.txt instead of supply area

Yeah you can, whever you select a color of an already existing province, you can easily expand them

No

Change it in the state file inside the history folder

after I select country and click start game crush at initializig game, debug says nothing

I believe the numbers at the end of the line (in definition) are the continents. For example: The number 3 is North America. This had fixed it for me, if it doesn't work for you then I don't have any answers for you:/

Map

This: www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/comments/4vpf1x/how_to_mod_in_a_new_state/d60cj4s It's not a video, but really simple to follow. I've found it the easiest to learn how to add new states and have been using it ever since.

copy the state file remove the province and put in new file EZ

I had the same problem, I don't know why it happens bit I fixed it by adding new provinces all the way to the last number where it indicated x province had no continent. You have to repeat the same process for every single one of them.

You might have anti-aliasing on in paint.net

same

then you didnt do it in debug

This helps thanks

Change the Height in the heightmap.bmp for it to show up.

States are generally easy, go into history/states. Create a new one, edit the file and assign the provinces you want assigned to it. There

Supply areas are gone since No Step Back see video about creating railways and supply hubs

@@TheIronWorkshop ah ok thx

I will talk about that in an upcoming lesson on creating states, just need to get over a cold I am having :\

OK we are all waiting and improvements for your cold

localisation state_l_english or any other language

Exactly.

@@TheIronWorkshop Alrighty, thanks!

Its with the nudge tool

@@kepler9860 can you elaborate

Oh, you select the provinces in nudge, make the name of the state, set the other things there ( Like suply for example ) and if i remember it comes up as a folder . I may not be 100% correct but I think its how it works

And also you have to save it there too

@@kepler9860 thanks

Did you succeded on creating new province in hoi3? Does the method from this movie works or did you had to do some other things? I would really aprecieate any tips if you have some :v

@@jakub9802 Yes, I did it recently.

@@jakub9802 First at all you should do a security copy of your mod. Then, go to map folder and open the map bmp with your graphic editor. I did it with Photoshop. Now turn the map, and modify with pixel tool with an aleatory color. That RGB code must write in the definition.txt with the code of the new province. In the localisation folder go to provinces.excel and put your code with the name of the place. Then you need to insert your new province in one region on the regions.txt. Now create a txt for your new province in the provinces folder (that it is in the history folder). May be you need to move airports, ports and another symbol positions of the province. For do that I use an editor of map for HOi3... Important: remember when you finished at edit the map, invert the map possition in Photoshop. Sorry for my english, I Was not the best student of my class...

@@jakub9802 The editor of positions and more is called HoI3PosEd.

@@camaradaayuso4347 Thank you very much :)

It’s gonna be difficult for beginners like me, but once you keep doing it, then it shouldn’t be difficult for you

I have my own mod to work on and it has far more to offer than just new provinces...

you need to add your state in the localisation file.. create a subfolder in your mod folder called localisation, inside create a file yourmod_l_english.yml (or whatever language you use) and inside you have to put the next, in the first row put: l_english (must match with the language you put in the title), then in the second row you have to put: STATE_743:1 "Constanta".. and now you should see the correct name in your game

The same is happening for me.

state_category = megalopolis

Random Mystery erm, think you missed purpose of post... plus that is a base section already in files. I meant something totally different than your reply

Drew Dameron​ dude u kiding, go to the HOI4 files and the history, states, and find the one u want to change, open it and state_Category = megalopolis or mess up with buildings I can explain better but, to lazy XD

Dude are you kidding... I was meaning Completely new buildings that are not in base game along with techs to unlock etc. So you say you are too lazy but apparently you presume without warrant also. its ok, I shall find out on my own, and do it myself. Seems asking how to increase from 25 to say 100 factories was too much for you, or better yet how to add proper new buildings for states/provinces/etc with proper techs was too much for you. I am sorry for being aggressive but dude, you asked if I was kidding, and didnt give me time of day to ask what I was actually meaning. Thus you were the one that attacked without warrant. I only stated you missed point and followup if a properly done would have been to ask what I meant, NOT say "ARE YOU KIDDING". Thus attack was not warranted. I asked for a particular thing, and now I guess it is better explained but in that, it took an attack to get it out, when it shoulda just taken a question. NOW For what I really meant, Adding more state categories to be able to add factories and like up to say 100, Adding buildings to provinces/states that are not in base game, Doing proper techs to unlock them, Can you add requirements(resources) for a building to be built, How many buildings can be put on the production screen with current GUI, How do you modify the Icons for productions(I know its in interface somewhere but where), list goes on but I believe anyone can get where I am going... Trying to make a total conversion mod and wondering if all this is possible.

Drew Dameron ok me vale madres, why you dont say "nee buildings", you said custom, wich is also easy, and thanks bor the biblie, but i hate god, cya

Do you still need to know?

Not for now thank you!

Rivers.bmp in the map file

This is something that I have not experimented with since 3D modelling isn't my niche, and in order to change the models you need to teach people how to 3d model... I can't tech something I don't know, but perhaps in the future If I manage to get the hang of it I will :)

Maybe the dlc overwrites it?

What do you mean?

Yes, if you make the ideology not to puppet boost or stage acoup's. (Exp) nationalist = { types = { nationalist_ideology = { } } dynamic_faction_names = { "FACTION_NAME_FASCIST_1" "FACTION_NAME_FASCIST_2" "FACTION_NAME_FASCIST_3" "FACTION_NAME_FASCIST_4" "FACTION_NAME_FASCIST_5" } color = { 0 0 0 } war_impact_on_world_tension = 1.0 faction_impact_on_world_tension = 1.0 rules = { can_force_government = no can_send_volunteers = yes can_puppet = no } modifiers = { } ai_fascist = yes # uses the fascist AI behaviour can_be_boosted = no }

Watch for a video on that soon!

Cool!

Yes, just paint over them in the provinces.bmp file and remove any references to the province you removed.

In the launcher

Good point, I will probably make a separate one on how to create sea\ocean provinces.

@@user-xu1pd1tk3v Sorry, can’t do, maybe you’ve got to start searching for a new guide, this video series is pretty old after all.

нет блять блек алерт

I really want to but lack of time doesn't allow that at the moment.

I use Paint 3D (cause in Photoshop I can't save as .bmp)

u can use paint.net

vachina

You should try HOI3 or Victoria 2 modding for a real taste of disgusting.
