Change names and other stuff - possible?

[unmerged(52605)]

Is it possible to change things on your own in the HoI2-files? Ex: If I would
like to change a province name, do I just open Procince_names file in
the config folder and change it, or is it more complicated than that?
Can this make the game crash? Can I find a tutorial about these things?

And if: What can easily be changed and what can not?

I tried that one time and it caused an error of some kind, but possibly someone with better knowledge can tell you how to do it and not break the file.

province names can be changed in the province.csv file yes (use a text editor rather than excel)

Country names can be changed in world_names.csv

All files with the extension .csv .inc .txt can be altered using a text editor like notepad. (remember to back up all files before you make changes though).

All .bmp graphics files can be changed using a graphics program (if you are that way inclined)

That was my mistake I like Excel too much. Thanks.

how do I change so USA has full amount of IC without being in war? I gave them a try a few days ago, and when Germany declared war on Poland I decided to have some fun and declared war on Germany. I eventually annexed them after unloading troops north of Berlin and in Denmark, but when I did that my IC went down to "normal" levels
Is there any way I can modify the game so USA always have full IC?

I also wonder why some countries only have 50 IC after being puppeted, I played a game as Soviet, and eventually released Communist China (they got entire China, except Tibet). I was surprised when I saw they had only 50/110 (or so) IC, while other puppets (but not all) have full IC. England for example have about 190 IC and they're also my puppets

to give them their IC at peacetime go into the scenario folder and open up the usa.inc file (in the 1936 subfolder if you are playing that)

you will see a list of stuff...

	headofstate = { type = 9 id = 6001 }
	headofgovernment = { type = 9 id = 6002 }
 	foreignminister = { type = 9 id = 6003 }
 	armamentminister = { type = 9 id = 6077 }
 	ministerofsecurity = { type = 9 id = 6005 }
 	ministerofintelligence = { type = 9 id = 6006 }
 	chiefofstaff = { type = 9 id = 6007 }
 	chiefofarmy = { type = 9 id = 6008 }
 	chiefofnavy = { type = 9 id = 6158 }        
 	chiefofair = { type = 9 id = 6010 }

 	[COLOR=Lime]peacetime_ic_mod = 0.25[/COLOR]

	capital = 606
    ownedprovinces =      {

change the green entry to peacetime_ic_mod = 1.00 save and play. (it isnt green of course, thats just to highlight what to change )

I would just like to point out to the original poster that changes in province.csv will not be visible on the map. Map is hardcoded and it needs to be hacked in order to change it.

change the green entry to peacetime_ic_mod = 1.00 save and play.

Thanks. I've been looking for events or something that I thought might be the reason to their lower IC during peacetime, but haven't found anything... again, thanks for explaining

Another thing, do you know if they will have an increase in resources if you make this change? In the game they gain much less resources with 25% IC than with full IC

to my knowledge resources do not increase with this. IC represents the amount of factories working efficiently, but the more production being undertaken the more resources are required to keep them working.

You will have to do more trading for the resources you need or allow waste in production (have the first number of the three in the top-right of the screen to be red) thse wasted production do not use up resources so you can limit your resource use this way.

Another way is to give the country more resources at the game start (you should find the relevent entry in the same .inc file you altered the IC peacetime rate.
