Yes, but which file to edit and which program to use in that process?
I have a Question about trait and hope someone could be so nice and help me.The trait for spotter is 8704 and seawolf 1024 but what is the figures for both together.Where can I find a list of the code numbers for the traits?
it does but when I used it to edit a province to check if it works it causes dh to crash
what do you think caused it>?
I don'y know. I've never used it to do that, I just knew that it could edit provinces.
Check you savebug file.
if i remember correctly you add the two numbers together
so for both of those traits it would be 9728
Is this a BUG or is it a a7V early ww1 tank.
And if it is a7V ww1 tank, how is the sprite address mismatched, so that this early (ww1) sprite represent tank from 1930s era.
How to fix that?
Thank you very much I try that with Assman and he goth both and eaven old guard.I do not know if he had old guard before.

It looks like a WW1 tank.
I don't work with sprites, but I would I guess that the file is misnamed.
I'd check the sprites folder to see if there is a correct 1939 tank Sprite that just has the wrong name.
@jarod45 I checked the trait 9728 on Dönitz too and and yes he was seawolf,spotter and old guard too.
@jarod45 You were right about add the two togeher but the figures for spotter is 8192 if I add sea wolf 1024 = 9216 that works fine thanks for your help.
No problems
Old guard is not a positive trait. It means they cant learn any new traits
Cant teach an old dog new tricks
Is there a modding manual somewhere? DH modding seems to be getting more and more difficult for newbies from what I see, since the HoI2 wiki went down two weeks ago,
@Mundane I posted this a few weeks ago for another user. Might help get you started:
I started from scratch a few months ago and it has been a very satisfying experience. I strongly recommend starting with this event making guide. It goes over all of the basics and walks you through it step-by-step. I personally went through it several times. It takes patience, but is well worth your time if you are interested in creating mods:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/eventmaking-guide.725734/
There is an enormous amount of helpful information in the modding questions thread. I spent a few hours and went through every page noting down useful information and learned a lot reading through past questions:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/odds-and-sods-modding-questions.615217/
And finally, the modding documentation folder (located in Darkest Hour A HOI Game\Modding documentation) has a number of useful files, but most notably "event commands.txt". This will be your bible and you should have it open at all times when writing events. I also recommend taking a look at the existing events in Darkest Hour Full, most notably the events for major powers (UK.txt, germany.txt, USSR.txt are all very useful - these are located in Darkest Hour A HOI Game\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\db\events) which can give you an idea for how the developers wrote their events. It's often a good idea to take an existing event from one of these files and then rewrite the data to fit your needs.
Start with that event making guide and make a simple event. Once you get a small taste of success, it leaves you wanting more.

I agree that there is a lack of a real guide on the forums.
Lots of he old links are dead
This should be good. Let's just hope tat the links don't die.
Thank you very much for these links and written guide, they will help me greatly. You are the real MVP today!
Now I have the motivation to begin my learning experience...
