Hello, I'm creating a mod to correct my nation's state divison and I did it through the game files because I didn't know about the nudger tool. The biggest problem I am having is that when I build dockyards or factories the maximum amount of these buildings that I can use just increase after I restart the game. The other problem is that I changed the location of air bases and rocket sites because I had to modify some states and create another ones but now the incon of these buildings doesn't match with the 3D model location. I tryed changing the 3D models with the nudger tool but for some reason I can not save the changes I made.
Can someone help me please?
srry for my english
 
Hi all,

I've recently started experimenting with modding HOI4 and I decided that the best way for me to start would be to create a small event chain that takes the arrival and spread of the Chaga from Ian McDonald's Chaga Saga and transplants it to Australia shortly after January 1st, 1936. While my initial experiments with creating events went well, I ran into some trouble with changing the category type of a state.

I just want to know, is there any way of changing the category type of a given state within an event? I've looked everywhere but there doesn't seem to be a definitive list of commands or an answer to my question available anywhere.

If you type trigger_docs into the console it'll output a list of all the commands and what-have-you to your log (I do this every patch, and dump it in a word file for reference). The wiki also has good lists in its modding section (http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Hearts_of_Iron_4_Wiki) if that helps. I'm afraid I haven't gone near that side of things in modding, so can't provide any more specific suggestions. If it's something you'd like to do, but can't be done, there's a wishlist thread stickied in the modding section of the forums that the devs look at, so if you put it in there, there's a chance :).

Hi I'm developing a mod which is includes national focuses, new events(with new gfx files), new leader portraits, new states, localisaton improvement etc. Development moves on well. But i have a serious problem. I looked for many sites, modding videos and forums. I did everything to get it work. My event and news event GFX files DON'T work anyway.

I used Paint.Net, didn't work. I used .tga type, didn't work. I used Adobe PS CS6, didn't work. I used "spritetype" code ,didn't work. Also when i use spritetype code, there is no image be shown in the event. Pixels of the images are right, They are all 8.8.8.8 ARGB .dds type still doesn't work. Can anyone help me how i can get it work? Anyone could work the event files? Pls tell me step by step to get it work. This is my only serious problem for modding. I hope anyone helps me.

Did you create interface references to your event pictures in eventpictures.gfx?

FYI, there is a modding subforum, which you'll get access to if you link your account to steam (which registers game ownership on the forums). You'll find plenty more information there about modding. :)

and how to load an existing local mod into the nudger? e.g. to move / change units?
