Odds and Sods... - Modding Questions

[Supeerme]

Im modding the techtree and have modded some models for infantry and such. It runs nice and sweet but when I try to load a savegame I get this and the game closes:
Attachment 59074
Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

Do you have a model missing from a engineer unit file? You could have made one of your tech point to the wrong model.

Do you have a model missing from a engineer unit file? You could have made one of your tech point to the wrong model.

I'll have to check on that, but, if I erase all OOB from every country in the scenario files, perhaps it goes away until I fix it?
Thanks. ;D
EDIT: Fixed. It was precisely it. Thanks!

Hey, i started my mod today and added Rheinish Republic as U00...
The game loads up but fails with one Error:
ERROR Illegal top level object 'techapps= {' Line 133

I copied Germany.inc and used it for the Rheinish Repubic....
At line 133 this is written:

}

I removed the Techs after the first error to find out if this is the fault, but even without techs it still happens

[^_AC_^]

There is probably an extra or missing } somewhere in the file. Check them all.

[Trunyx]

Yes.. after 10 minutes i found a extra } ....
And how can i can i assign a shield + flaganimation to a country.
I photoshopped my flag using the Flagmaker, saved as bmp and gave it the formal names shield_U00.bmp ; flag_U00.bmp and put it into the gfx/map/shields(flags) folder
But the flag doesn't show up ingame.

EDIT: sorry, works now ... made a mistake in the u00.inc file

[korodikrisz]

The game uses the same Axis/Allies/Comintern trio as the HOI2, however, it is possible to change their names. I'm not looking for the ones that KR did (changing right in the base files), but rather the one that is used by the 1914 scenario (name = "central", and it will appear as C. Powers). Where do I need to make a new entry for the string?

[Supeerme]

Yes you would need to.

Put it in mods.csv.

[korodikrisz]

Doesn't work

[prince_blucher]

where is the province.csv file located? i wanted to edit a province and i can't find the file in ...\steam\steamapps\common\darkest hour hoi game\mods\darkest hour full\db?
thanks

You'll find it in... "...darkest hour hoi game\map\Map_1"
I think you'll make a copy of the folder "Map" and put it into your mod folder to edit it properly.

thanks Arcanjo Zero

[PanzerMan7]

Is it possible to attach 2 brigades of the same type to a unit or mod it in to be allowed?

Specifically, Im trying to create escort carriers with cags and fleet carriers with 2 cags

also, can one mod it so later models can carry, say, 3 cags?

[OneAussieMan777]

Trying to mod NWO so that Fed Germany can re-enter the axis, how would I go about this? If I can get it working properly, will release "Resurgent Germany" minimod for use in NWO (Correct credits given of course!)

Also question; How can I gain an annexed country's tech teams? I know Iron Cross allowed it and it really seems unfair that you can't plunder a victims research as well as his resources...

[liveandletdie14]

What files do I need to edit in order to add a country to a starting scenario? I thought I had it set up for the starting scenario, I edited the scenario files but for some reason the game freezes when I load the country.

[Supeerme]

Did you make an inc file for it AND include it in the eug file?

[Supeerme]

It's in the settings before you start the senario.

[lordmackie]

Ok, so I have not seen a tech files debug thread or anything like that so if there is, I apologize.

I have an issue with some tech files that throw up errors when I start the game.
I can ignore them all but when it gets to a certain event. (The event BTW is the creation of that country that calls these files) Then it crashes.


This is what happens


This one ignore twice


*ignore*


*ignore*


*ignore*


*ignore*


*ignore*


*ignore*

Then the first one 3 more times.

I don't understand what it specifically means, I did my best to figure it out but tech team files just aren't my strong point

Thanks in advance for the help

[Supeerme]

Can I check the tech team file of this nation your making?

From I can tell with the pictures either you got this part wrong:

Speciality1;Speciality2;Speciality3;Speciality4;Speciality5;Speciality6;Speciality7;Speciality8;Speciality9;Speciality10;Speciality11;Speciality12;Speciality13;Speciality14;Speciality15;Speciality16;Speciality17;Speciality18;Speciality19;Speciality20;Speciality21;Speciality22;Speciality23;Speciality24;Speciality25;Speciality26;Speciality27;Speciality28;Speciality29;Speciality30;Speciality31;Speciality32;x

Unless you got something like this:
155001;Khurd Zabitan Staff College;T7600;1;1900;2050;x;Speciality1;Speciality2;Speciality3;Speciality4;Speciality5;
If so then change ASAP. It's not going to work. Why? It's trying to see non-exsitant Tech-Specialty that's what causing the crash.

It's sorted, had problems with a bracket in the inc file, it took me soo long to figure out too :P...
