Change Flag / Name of Country through decision?

[Mike the HD Gamer]

Hi I am currently in the process of making my own modifications to Darkest Hour but quite a few of the event chains that I would like to write would require me to change the name or tag of a country and desirably the flag too but it does not appear that there are any tutorials or guides on how to do this, would anyone be able tell me how to do this or know of any guides that explain the process, Thanks.

Here is a mod for it

Hope this helps.

That does kind of help but I was thinking more changing flags etc through an event for example in Kaissereich where you can change Austria to Austria - Hungary or Russia to Russian Empire, It will change the flag and name (I dont know it might change the TAG.)

Look up the first event for SOV in the 1914 folder, it has such a command.

Let's take Portugal as an example, say we've got an event turning Portugal into a monarchy and we want to change both the name and flag:

command = { type = name where = POR which = "Kingdom of Portugal" }

This tells the game to replace Portugal's name (POR being the tag for Portugal) with the name Kingdom of Portugal, now onto your flag:

command = { type = flag_ext where = POR which = "_mon" }

This tells the game to replace the Portuguese flag with the one you specified with the suffix _mon (any suffix works)

For example here if your original flag file was flag_POR, it would be replaced with flag_POR_mon

You'll of course have to have created a shield, flags file, and a counter (or at the bare minimum a shield) for this.

Hi you might not know but do you know how to add a new minister do I just add them to the list of a country and give them a trait, picture etc or do I need to do more, sorry if im asking too many questions but some modding info I just cant seem to find.

Also if you can here is a basic event that I wrote just to get me started, if you have the time could you just check if it would work as I have no idea and I dont want to risk screwing up my event files. Thanks


event = {
id = 148756
random = no
country = GRE
style = 0

trigger = {
owned = { province = PROV409 = GRE }
}

date = { day = 0 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 10
deathdate = { hour = 19 day = 19 month = december year = 1963 }

name = "Megali Idea fulfilled"
desc = "We have succesfuly retaken Constantinople! Shall we now recreate the great byzantine Empire?"
picture = "byzantine_empire"

action_a = {
name = "Of course! We shall rise again!"
command = { type = name where = GRE which = "Byzantine Empire" }
command = { type = flag_ext where = GRE which = "GRE_mon"
command = { type = shield_ext where = GRE which = "GRE_mon"
command = { type = dissent value = -10 }
command = { type = manpowerpool value = 100 }
command = { type = capital which = 409 }
}

action_b = {
name = "No we have done enough"
command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
command = { type = capital which = 409 }
}
}

First of all, use this tool

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/dh-capable-data-editor.755222/

It'll help a lot. Now as for portraits, you have to size them first correctly, but yes then you can use the tool to set them up properly ingame. However, if it is a savegame you're trying to modify, you will have to modify the savegame itself and manually put the minister in.
