Hoi4 Modding | How to make a country 

I try to do it as simple as possible as I was a beginner not to long ago as well

Glad it helped

Glad I could help ^-^

same the iron workshop is good and all but you helped alot more idk why i think the iron workshop doesnt explain it right

@@dunctech107 I learned from the iron workshop, hes a good teacher its just slightly outdated

can you show me the issue on the discord? so I can see screenshots?

Can you join the discord and send me a dm?

@@DinoHoi4Modding What's your discord?

@@NoobHammer thank you

Can you join the discord and send screenshots?

@@DinoHoi4Modding dont worry i redid it and ive done it thanks to your video :) but can you show me how to use nudge tool in your next video or via discord? it was like a black thing and i had to reset my entire game :)

Use paint.net not just paint, paint.net can open it, the paint.net site is getpaint.net

Yippppe ( I have to quit because of money) thanks for wasting my time 😊

@@rovizo paint.net is free if on their website

Oh ok

@@OTugaXD are you using paint.net?

in base game files there is a common/countries file

no clue

@@sepzo6450 it's most likely just the mod not registering, I have answered how to fix a few times in the discord

@@DinoHoi4Modding dont worry, ive fixed it: i had to put my country tag unto the state i wanted to own, thanks anyways

cnt + S

@@A35-u5o look at the base game files

the left number is red the middle is green the right is blue

I believe its color = rgb { 0 0 255 }

@@WhiteExplosiveFruit most likely Localisation has a typo

same promblem here localisation has no typo

i found the promblem, my computer sometimes does a fucky wucky and deletes folders for no reason

nvm it doesn't work either

@@Earth_Luna we have a fix in the discord

I had the same problem

@@Elskhante try to open paint.net and open the flag from there

never override base game mod files the issue is your documents C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod delete everything in that folder then go to: :\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360 and delete everything in that folder as well. This will force steam to redownload all your mods Ok once you've done that and Steam redownloaded your mods. Start your launcher scroll down to GAME Clear Cache - click Now scroll a bit down to "Launcher Settings" Opt out from personalized content ON Recieve Beta versions of the Launcher OFF Also try validating your steam files rightclick hoi4 in your steam library go to properties then local then validate game files and navigate to BETA and make sure beta participation is set to none there as well. Good luck in fixing your Problem! steamcommunity.com/app/394360/discussions/2/2254560552303416594/

@@NpowerYT what doesn't show up, the country, mod, or flag?

@@DinoHoi4Modding sorry i already fixed it but i deleted it after it was really playable (this was my first mod(

you most likely got a typo somewhere, common issue

I will be remaking the country tutorial I did here, and then showing custom characters, expect that real soon!

@@Titoe435 you must have a mistake on your end

@@DinoHoi4Modding yea i didnt make them uncompressed

@@Titoe435 how do you do that?

the issue is with the localisation file, make sure the file is the correct name, if this does not fix it, please join the discord and show me screenshots, I reply within 24hrs

@@DinoHoi4Modding Hi, thanks for your reply. I already fixed the problem. I needed utf 8 bom coding for it :)

@@og_goat0751 thank you, you solved my problem.

you can just add the war event trigger in the countries history file, google it

@@DinoHoi4Modding do you know the exact website? i been trying to find one and none seen useful or working at all

@@Paul-s4p using the hoi4 wiki, there is 2 websites basically, just type War event trigger hoi4

@@DinoHoi4Modding alr ty i will look for it and say if it works

@@DinoHoi4Modding btw do you know how to add custom tooltips?

I already fixed it, I used utf-8-bom encoding

@@wafflesis sorry I didnt reply, glad you fixed it

​@@DinoHoi4Modding fixed a problem found another, my country's flag wont appear in the game when you play as it. edit: even units doesn't have a flag too and the game confuses other countries flags by putting it on the units. But the flag shows in the main menu.

@@wafflesis the issue is the format you saved the flag in, look how I save country flags they must be under the same format, also make sure the flag is the right file size

@@DinoHoi4Modding late response, now my soldiers flag when i zoom in enough wont show like the flag in the corner soldier flag. BUT i fixed the 3 flag problem.

never mind i fixed it

glad its fixed: for anyone else having this issue, you use localisation (make sure its spelt correctly), a S not a Z

you most likely made a typo in ideology, its communism not communist

​@@DinoHoi4Moddingmy country does not show up even i did what you said it is very stupid

@@enessezgin1536 it is just a bug with the hoi4 mod I believe you just got to delete the entire documents folder then relaunch the game, please backup any mod and save file first, there is a entire form on this subject you can also search, im unsure why this is the bug but it is

@@DinoHoi4Modding okey i

@@DinoHoi4Modding im gonna try that

it should yes

@@DinoHoi4Modding Thanks! 👍

my apologies

you most likely have a typo, also make sure debug mode is on

@@DinoHoi4Modding its fixed 👍

Oob is for starting troops, dont need to worry about it for now
