The Official HOI4 Mods and Discussion Thread

[Born in the USSA]

Zhihu is like Chinese Quora, but looks a little more like Chinese Reddit now, and apparently there's a huge mod ecosystem there that is unknown outside of China:

Fubukireich Teaser II：罗马人民共和国

序言：虽然标题是Teaser，实际上完全没有制作mod的想法。 请把这系列文章（如果有系列的话）当做是一个魔怔国家合集了，这个世界线拥有着非常魔幻的要素以及分界点，请各位阅读者不要追究细节。 当然欢迎各位的理…

番外1：选举地图设定及一些Teaser

在赤日之心的上一篇日志里有一张中华共和国1934年选举概况的图片，这张图一方面是我个人出于兴（yi?）趣设计的苏联样式的社会主义地区旗，另一方面也是模组设定及未来内容的预告。比如说中文图里加注在文字上的符…

I guess it goes to show that every nation and culture has an AH.com-DeviantArt-Reddit culture for making this sort of thing

These are really neat!

Actually one idea for a mod that could be cool would be a timeline where World War I and its aftermath were replaced by the conflict and setting of The Repairer of Reputations, building up a Mythos-inspired 20th century from there. Nothing overtly supernatural, of course. Maybe the FBI becomes more authoritarian after a raid on a coastal city? Maybe Lovecraft becomes President? Maybe Prohibition can somehow last into the 1950s? A UFO craze centered on stories of space fungus rather than Greys, a Chinese Civil War that results in a Tsan Dynasty, MAD as the ultimate expression of nihilistic horror, there's a lot of potential.

It'd be nice if it was more focused on the Robert W. Chambers stuff (like True Detective season 1, or John Tynes' Carcosa cycle) instead of the generic Lovecraft/Cthulhu Mythos RPG stuff.

I had Chambers as the puppet co-leader of the Canadian-occupied Dominion of New England in my Rainbow Wars Kaiserreich offshoot. He would've been really old, but you oughta have some yellow with your green.

With TNO already out and TWR as well as Calm Before the Storm scheduled to release in August I think that we might be experiencing a sort of HOI4 modding renaissance.

To celebrate this occasion I will post this overview of different modding projects created by user spicysambal on reddit:

 

[Wolttaire]

that a lot of mods

that a lot of mods

And this list isn't even complete.
Although some of the projects on it are pretty dead.

Wow!
Yep, glad I bought HOI4. TWR looks like it has really good potential from the screenshots I saw btw!

One thing I'll add is that Flashpoint 77 is dead, replaced by, of all things, a Russian mod fulfulling the same premise that seems pretty far into development.

I'm super psyched for TWR. I'm going to try Comrade Zhukov racing to reforge the Motherland, use the NKVD for nuclear testing, and crush the Nazis underfoot before Heydrich can...well, I don't even want to know what unspeakable things that psycho will do.

After that, it's the professor and his idealistic socdem Russia.

Don't get your hopes too high, the TWR devs said a month ago that they had to cut down on the USSR's content in order to make it to their intended August release date.

Aww. Hopefully they still will release Comrade Zhukov, allowing me to set up an NKVD puppet state...and nuke them.

You should stop spouting such counter-revolutionary rhetoric. Comrade Konev requires your full support if we are to crush Germany.

KRG has just released a new PR on Germany.

I started to experiment with making focus icons. Below are my initial results.

1. Icons made using preexisting designs form the game files:

2. Icons made completely from scratch*:

*If you don't count the photo of Kefauver, obviously.

Not bad!

A couple more custom icons:

Goddamnit, I'm trying to get the latest Github version of the Historical Geographic Overhaul (HGO) mod to work, but for some goddamn reason, the game crashes back to the desktop before it even finishes loading to the main menu; the error message I get only says "Failed to load the map: Some errors are present in the map defition and have been logged to error.log", which doesn't tell me what exactly went wrong.

And this after I spent hours of work crafting a map using the previous version before updating to the newest version earlier today. Can somebody help me out with how to fix this, so I don't end up having wasted so many hours of painstaking work?

CBTS seems to be out, which caught me by surprise.

 

[black_0]

For those who like me didn't download it before it was taken down - CBTS is back on Steam.
