Hoi2Lib - Modding Library

Hoi2Lib is a library of tools for modding Hearts of Iron 2 that I'm currently developing.

I plan on doing modules for most things that can be modded (currently the TechTree and Unit modules are complete, more will follow soon).

Update February 13th:
v1.11 is released - now including Unit module and "moddir" support.
You may download it by using the link given below.

is there any tools to make units cost money

For all that I know, this is not possible to do.

But I'm still hoping for someone to proof me wrong on that one

Oooooh, nice! I would love to see a tool that makes AI editing easier to do, but something like this will be real useful as well.

Will it be possible to edit the names of the different units for each country with this tool? Can you change the unit stats for each country?

very nice work

Names of units, Yes.
Names of unit types, Maybe - don't yet know if this is possible.

Can you change the unit stats for each country?

Can't be done due to game mechanics, unfortunately - as far as I know.

 

[MaximusII]

When will it be realsed??????
And what about Events coding, will it be included?

First version most likely tomorrow.

But v1.00 will only include the TechTree - other modules will follow the days after.

 

[MaximusII]

ok, good

 

[Rey]

That looks very cool!!

This one would deserve being stickyfied maybe?

 

[MacDunne]

I agree about this thread being stickied. Looking forward to using the tech tool. Anything that helps with the modding process is very much appreciated!

Great Effort

Well done Heimdall - Will you be linking this product with any other mod groups such as CORE or Stony Road??
From what I have been reading in the forums, many of the old HOI 1 users like the individuality of the tech tree (e.g. choice of building AFV's with either 75mm Long or CS versions) but don't necessarily like the micromanagement aspect - HOI 2 has gone the other way - major tech tree with few "accessory limb" techs that add 'flavour'. This tool will help do this.

Good stuff Heimdall! Really looking forward to trying it out!

I have a question, can you make it so that if you used a name like "TECH_APP_ARMOR_20_DESC" in the description field, that there will be a way to actually view what that says? Because it's kind of a pain in the butt to have to open the file and find that particular description.

What a minute... technology description????
