you are already making the mod?

I'm going to be helping dizzle3 finish his hoi3 port of Kaiserreich first. See his thread in the modding part of the hoi3 forum.

EDIT: I have to get permission from the various parties first before I can start.

EDIT: I won't keep replying and putting the thread back to the top. Nothing is ever as simple as deciding to do something, and getting to do it.

But yes I am bloody starting, tomorrow morning. Got to learn about modding hoi3/hoi4 and the best way to learn, is to open up the game, open up the files, change something and see what it does...

Doesn't look like it will be a dh port now, as I'm getting negative reaction from those who matter. So, it will have to be a port of a dh mod I reckon.

I won't say the usual "watch this space" since it is going to be a year before hoi4 comes out, and yes I suppose I was a bit hasty n posting the thread in the first place, but I wanted to show I was serious.

So, I'll be working away...

It doesn't look like a Darkest Hour port to HOI4 is something that is allowed, or wanted elsewhere.

So, I'm now thinking of doing a hoi3/hoi4 version of my own mod, Homeland.

.. The USA attacks Canada in 1936...

Why Homeland and not Modern Day Scenario?

Well MDS needs a modern economy and I havent' been able to fathom one.

Homeland, because I don't have to worry about a modern day economy, as the mod starts in 1936...

UPDATE;

I told you things were moving but nothing was clear... had to wait.

Today I'm starting to port Kaiserreich to hoi3. 8 hours a day should get it done... ?

And of course, Homeland is a runner as well, but much more slowly, as KR has priority. I have to learn the ropes...

Hoi4 code? Well isn't it the same game engine? So the code should be much the same I would expect? Same format anyway? ???

I don't know if you own CK2 or EU4, their latest games, but they both have pretty similiar coding when it comes to the files. This is why I suspect that HOI4 code may be more similiar to that than actually HOI3. They did base the map on EU4 at least.

Too ambitious, honestly.

If you get dedicated to it, might be. But yeah mate, add me on Skype (Brother Reaven) if you want to discuss about kaiserreich. We could divide the work somewhat as I said, and maybe you'd know a quicker way of converting the files.
