hey everybody update time! so ive been trying to help as many as possible i really do but sometimes its alot. please consider the modding discords. not sure if im gonna make any new videos really, maybe on how to update to nsb but its really simple, and if u look in the discords i referenced theyve already done it and can help there. i fear the next dlc. i appreciate all the support thank u all so much and lets keep making awesome mods. also when tf is mapgen getting updated can someone get on that?
I really need help, i have followed your tutorial and checked if i have done anything wrong but i have done everything like you said in the tutorial but still the map is just the regular world but all countries are missing provinces
I recently started to get interested in modding but I am a complete beginner and have no experience. Thankfully there are awesome people like you in this world which help out a lot. Thanks man
boundaries imput is usefull when u want to make specific country borders, cuz the rovinces will generate according to the boundaries, but sadly the states wont, so u gotta edit the states later in the nudge tool, but the provinces will be correctly placed.
I have a problem, after creating the mod, in the "definition.csv" folder I have only 46 provinces, not several thousand as you have in the video, which may be the problem, I did everything as you did, and downloaded Map Gen from your link.
I had no problems with the map. But since the places that should be cities on the map are forests, manpower is very low. Moreover, no matter how much I try to fix from nudge and files, it doesn't work. Can you help me?
Iirc, the nudge changes are stored in documents/Hearts of iron IV Copy the files that are created (cuz it will create the file with the edited data u did in nudge) like search for state or strategic region or something weird, and copy paste to ur mod file
It crashes every single time. What do I do. The errors dont help and there seems to be no reason for it to crash. The only kinda helpful thing is this: [12:50:20][gamestate.cpp:2503]: MAP_ERROR: Naval strategic region Southern England is fractioned! The following provinces are separated from the rest: 45659 What can I do
if you can find the strategic region in the nudger try to see if it's actually separated and if it is connect the 2 halves, if its not there just delete the file
@@aobunau Yeah it doesn't crash anymore but the error is still there. Ill fix it another time. But now I have another problem thats more important. My rivers don't appear im the Nudge
Crashes to desktop during loading: Error log tells me, for example, State 1 in my mod and State 1 in the vanilla HoI4 folder both exist, and this is... Somehow a conflict. Also, it insists that my mod is calling State 1 "Corsica", despite the fact that when I look in history/1-State_1, it clearly just says "State 1", not Corsica.
help, im getting a error message that says that very bad errors exist and i must fix them, game doesnt even load half way, and crash log isnt created, instead it is written in logs/error.log, it just says the ITA, GER and ENG missing thing and the adjacency_rules thing that we fix in part 2, so should i do it, cuz i didnt get the last part were u assign the thousands of provinces to the supply area, cuz i dont get the error file EDIT: error message: FAILED TO LOAD MAP some errors are present in map definitions and were registered in error.log Turn off your mods and try again, if that doesn't work, check steam files integrity. if that doesn't work, try to clean your user directory in the launcher Edit: nvm im just stupid and opened the game not in debug mode accidentally
Its no big issue. Its always there. I wouldnt worry about it for a while, but to fix it you head on over to the nudger, and I believe theres a weather tab and you generate the weather and i think it gives a few options, then in documents/paradox/hoi4/map/ youll find “weather.txt”. Simply copy and paste into mod folder and it should have all the correct weather set up, hope this makes sense and helped.
I'm having difficulty getting my mod to actually read anything from the docs folder. Nudge will write to the proper file paths but the mod seems to be taking priority over that folder path and Base hoi4 files any solution so that nudge can work properly again? super tedious dragging any changes made to the mod files before any are tested and all before making the next change to preserve the proper ID structure.
I believe the MapGen that OP provided was abandoned, if you search hard enough you may find it. However, the old MapGen is easy to navigate and still works just fine; don't sweat it.
your discord link is expired so I have to ask here. When I load up the launcher, it forcibly deletes the code in my .mod file that tells the game to replace the vanilla files with the ones in my mod. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it?
Okay so I have a world I created at school with definied country borders, how do I make it so that the provinces and states align with the preset borders? Is that what the boundary map is?
You should go in the file of the state and select the provinces there. You can see the number of a province by hovering your mouse over it in the nudge.
short answer: yes. Long answer: The boundary map influences the states, which in turn influences the provinces to be shaped differently so the states can line up correctly.
so this video gets a dislike, so i would like to say the discord was complete garbage, i asked for help and i was told if i cant figure it out then map overhauling isnt for me i was told this by a mod burgerkinghotline, they were very unhelpful and in some aspects rude. if you have questions or need help reach out to me and i can try my best to help you, just ask your question here and i will reply, i have notifications on so dont panic i will return. goodluck gents

Спасибо, что помог. Изначально взял карты оригинальные + из модов. И путем проб и ошибок работал с ними, создавая свою.
I have a problem, after creating the mod, in the "definition.csv" folder I have only 46 provinces, not several thousand as you have in the video, which may be the problem, I did everything as you did, and downloaded Map Gen from your link.
SO... I just cant take a map from another mod, edit it in paint and slap it back?
doing anything other than the example map will just give the vanilla map. How do I fix this?
I had no problems with the map. But since the places that should be cities on the map are forests, manpower is very low. Moreover, no matter how much I try to fix from nudge and files, it doesn't work. Can you help me?
Iirc, the nudge changes are stored in documents/Hearts of iron IV
Copy the files that are created (cuz it will create the file with the edited data u did in nudge) like search for state or strategic region or something weird, and copy paste to ur mod file
so ive done everything correctly but each time i launch my game it crashes
Every time I load the map the game carcasses at initilizing game, anybody know hot to fix?
It crashes every single time. What do I do. The errors dont help and there seems to be no reason for it to crash. The only kinda helpful thing is this:
[12:50:20][gamestate.cpp:2503]: MAP_ERROR:
Naval strategic region Southern England is fractioned!
The following provinces are separated from the rest:
45659
What can I do
backup the southern england text file and delete it, if it does nothing try to bridge the gap
even the smallest thing will crash your game
@@aobunau How do I do that? I mean bridging the gap
if you can find the strategic region in the nudger try to see if it's actually separated and if it is connect the 2 halves, if its not there just delete the file
if you cant open the nudger i would just delete it
@@aobunau Yeah it doesn't crash anymore but the error is still there. Ill fix it another time. But now I have another problem thats more important. My rivers don't appear im the Nudge
Crashes to desktop during loading: Error log tells me, for example, State 1 in my mod and State 1 in the vanilla HoI4 folder both exist, and this is... Somehow a conflict.
Also, it insists that my mod is calling State 1 "Corsica", despite the fact that when I look in history/1-State_1, it clearly just says "State 1", not Corsica.
Corsica is base games state 1 ID hence why its Corsica.
I think u must add in the [modmame].mod "replace_path="history/states"
"replace_path="hostory/countries"
Thanks for the tutorial
i followed your tutorial but when i load it up, it either crashes or loads the vanilla map
same. idk what I'm doing wrong. I did everything the same minus the line map
fantastic. thank you.
help, im getting a error message that says that very bad errors exist and i must fix them, game doesnt even load half way, and crash log isnt created, instead it is written in logs/error.log, it just says the ITA, GER and ENG missing thing and the adjacency_rules thing that we fix in part 2, so should i do it, cuz i didnt get the last part were u assign the thousands of provinces to the supply area, cuz i dont get the error file
EDIT: error message:
FAILED TO LOAD MAP
some errors are present in map definitions and were registered in error.log
Turn off your mods and try again,
if that doesn't work, check steam files integrity.
if that doesn't work, try to clean your user directory in the launcher
Edit: nvm im just stupid and opened the game not in debug mode accidentally
So can I use my one custom made map?
I followed this guide and still crash on launch, I’m not sure where I’m messing up
It happens the same to me
Make sure all the provinces are assigned to a single state and that a country owns that state as well.
@@Paladin_Aurum I'll try it , thanks
hey I keep getting the error log map/weatherpositions.txt is empty what is the fix?
Its no big issue. Its always there. I wouldnt worry about it for a while, but to fix it you head on over to the nudger, and I believe theres a weather tab and you generate the weather and i think it gives a few options, then in documents/paradox/hoi4/map/ youll find “weather.txt”. Simply copy and paste into mod folder and it should have all the correct weather set up, hope this makes sense and helped.
The replace path for the mod.mod file keeps getting removed when I launch the game for some reason.
I've been questioning about missing states in my mod (mod folder\history\states). Is it okay or MapGen should crate states automatically?
Based video
Super helpful!
Is the replace_path needed changed after the update featuring railroads and new stuff?
After i tried this my game just wont start only when i have -debug turned on but even then i still cant start a game it just crashes
I'm having difficulty getting my mod to actually read anything from the docs folder. Nudge will write to the proper file paths but the mod seems to be taking priority over that folder path and Base hoi4 files any solution so that nudge can work properly again? super tedious dragging any changes made to the mod files before any are tested and all before making the next change to preserve the proper ID structure.
Thanks for the video, do you know if someone is still working on MapGen or is it abandoned?
I believe the MapGen that OP provided was abandoned, if you search hard enough you may find it. However, the old MapGen is easy to navigate and still works just fine; don't sweat it.
what are the colors on the terrain map, what do they mean?
i just chaged the land input then all of them are still the same so what do i do
on witch folder i need to put the file?
Is there an updated version for this?
For some reason the map folder isnt generating on my mod. Ive done it before, but now it isnt generating
Thanks for the helpful video but can you refresh the discord link please, it's broken.
your discord link is expired so I have to ask here.
When I load up the launcher, it forcibly deletes the code in my .mod file that tells the game to replace the vanilla files with the ones in my mod. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it?
actually seems to not be a huge issue, just for some reason doesn't stop nations from spawning into the game. Most of them end up in sea tiles though.
I know that you can’t answer all these questions, but I don’t know why my game keeps on crashing. Any tips?
so many error?
Check the error.log file. It'll tell you. Please provide me with something from the top of the error.log file so I can help you!
I have no color map when I download map gen
Okay so I have a world I created at school with definied country borders, how do I make it so that the provinces and states align with the preset borders? Is that what the boundary map is?

@@retrowave69 actually, it only influences the provinces, states won't be contained inside the boundaries, I would like for it to work, but it doesnt

For map to work, u must use valid files in mapgen
Here the requisites:
Must be, iirc, 5632 by 2048 pixels size
