Modding techs available / already researched at scenario start

[unmerged(10486)]

Hi all,

I have been looking through the wiki but could not find the answer to this question (or maybe I wasn't looking properly ). How would one go about modding the techs already researched at scenario start for a country. Say if in my alt-history world France has decided not to be afraid and hide behind the Maginot line and to go for more offensive land doctrines?

Thanks in advance!

You'll find it in the country's .INC-file in the scenario's subdirectory in <hoi2-dir>\scenarios.

Ahh, indeed. Thanks.

And how would I go about adding territorial claims? I tried adding the provinces I was interested in to nationalprovinces={} but that did not seem to do the trick.

To do that you should just add the province in the nationalprovinces-bracket. Did you load an old game? In that case you must add the province in the save-game.

You may have done something wrong. That is the right place to add them...

Strange... do I have to be non-democractic for them to show up in-game? And I'm starting a new game altogether, so that can't be the problem.

No, you don't have to be non-democratic, that has nothing to do with it.
Double check that you're in the right bracket and make sure that there's no # to the left of the new province ID you've added.

This is what my nationalprovinces bracket looks like. Anything wrong with it?

nationalprovinces =   {

		#Metropolitan France

		529 527 366 365 367 364 363 362 358 328 327 326 325 324 359 361 319 360

		322 323 59 60 61 62 63 318 317 316 73 72 64 53 44 43 18 54 42 55 41 56

		57 58 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 320 321 528
		71 #Added a claim on Luxembourg
		45 50 51 52 65 68 69 70 # Added a claim on Belgium

		1095 1142 1071 1072 1073 1074 1143 1144 1127 1098 1063 # Belgian Congo
		530 # Geneva and Vaud cantons, Switzerland

			}

I have no idea actually, it looks allright. Which provinces won't show up as national provinces?

 

[unmerged(10486)]

All the provinces I added. Belgium, Belgian Congo and part of Switzerland. I have no claim on them - or at least I don't seem to.

EDIT: just an idea: could it be that my custom .inc file is ignored if an error occurs while loading the rest of the scenario? Right now the game is complaining about a corrupted ministers_fra.csv file. And not only do my custom nationalprovinces not show up, but also the policy slider settings I set in the .inc file seem to be completely ignored. Oddly enough, my custom ministers do seem to be loaded correctly :wacko:

Strange, they seem to match...
Are you sure that you've edited the correct .INC-file, btw? It won't help if you're playing 1936 but have edited the one for the 1938 scenario...

That shouldn't be the case, but try to remove the ministers-file and see what happens anyway...

Ah but of course! I had forgotten to update the paths to the inc files in the .eug file o

Thanks a bunch

aaaah, ok...
Glad to help out...

You'll find it in the country's .INC-file in the scenario's subdirectory in <hoi2-dir>\scenarios.

Hallsten quoted just to stay on original topic.

When adding techs like you discribed, for example doctrines, will improvements in morale, organization etc that normaly come with the tech be affected on the units you have in the field?
