Can anyone give me some pointers on modding my game?

[unmerged(140053)]

Hi

I'm trying to errm, cheat, so that I can play as Norway conquer the world. But I only want to improve its financial situation somewhat, that is, increasing the resources and IC in some of it's provinces, like Oslo.

Anyway, tried using the editor (the Paradox one and one I found looking through the pages here at the forum), but that only netted me hours of trying to reinstall everything as I messed up badly

I also tried editing the Province.csv file in the DB folder, and that acquired the desired effect, somewhat, but I only wanted the things to change for the 1936 scenario, and this changed it across the board, unfortunately.

Is there any way I can just edit the Oslo province in the 1936 scenario to give me 50 in every resource each day and a flat 100 IC without messing with the entire game?? If there is, I'm as you probably understand quite the nubbin when it comes to these things, so I'd probably need just a teaspoon of help doing whatever I need to do


Regards, and thanks for any help

well i like to use events, theyre fun for everything guess it could be done by editing the scenarios/1936/norway.inc file.

but yea i like events... add following event to the bottom of db/events/hoi2.txt (or any event file in that folder really)

EDIT; remove "#" sign infront of infrastructure and manpower if you want that i just added them for the heck of it

Thank you! It worked brilliantly

I wonder though, would this be triggered by the AI as well? If so, could I change that somehow?



Thanks again!

yes it would and yes its fixable, revised event below


added "ai = no" to the trigger to prevent this event from firing for the AI aswell as a "option_b" incase youre playing norway and dont want the boni.
