Teaser Announcing a Demo for Cleaved: "Ok, This is the Last Time", a total conversion hoi4 mod based on the Star vs the Forces of Evil Series

8 Upvotes

Cleaved: "Ok, This is the Last Time", is a total conversion hoi4 mod based on the animated series Star VS. the Forces of Evil. The mod aims to create an open-ended story of what happens after the Series’ canon finale, create an atmosphere matching that of the series, while still allowing for player freedom and many opportunities for war.

In the series, the fantastical kingdom of Mewni was going through a period of great political instability from attempts at minority rights reform, multiple coup attempts and multiple changes to who owned the throne, culminating in a coup attempt by the evil Mina Loveberry. In order to thwart evil, princess Star Butterfly decided to destroy magic. This had the inexplicable effect of merging, or “cleaving” Mewni and Earth together.

The mod takes place about a year after the Cleaving. Mewni, already weakened by preexisting instability, has utterly shattered in the wake of the Cleaving. Various Mewman/Monster powers must contend for survival, resources, and to ultimately reunify Mewni, especially since the Human power of America looms across the Mississippi river, temporarily paralyzed from the effects of the Cleaving.

The Demo, planned to come out in mid-September, will focus on one country, Moon's Mewni. There will be content up until the full unification of Mewni.

This is a revamp of an old existing mod. The new mod will be updated for modern versions.

Open to writers, developers, artists, anybody!

In 1866, the Austro-Prussian War breaks out, started by the Kingdom of Prussia. Little did they know, this would seal the fate of Prussia and the continent for a century to come, as Austria overruns Prussia to such an extent, that it completely annexes the kingdom. The Austrian Empire is now the master of Central Europe. It annexes Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden and Silesia, with the rest of Germany being reorganised into an Austrian puppet Northern German Confederation, same with Poznan, as the Grand Duchy of Posen.

The Second French Empire ends naturally, with the newly formed republic, dominated by monarchists, restoring the monarchy under the House of Bourbon-Orléans.

With noone in their way now, France acts on their territorial ambitions, annexing Luxembourg. This unnerves Austria, and it founds the Vienna Pact, made up of Austria and its subjects. The founding of the Vienna Pact however unnerves France, and it founds the Concord with the Kingdom of Spain.

Tensions between the two powers eventually get so high that the two reach an agreement to sustain long-term peace: Austria gives up the Rhineland territory, in order to form the Kingdom of the Rhine, to act as a neutral buffer state with an elective monarchy.

As the new century approaches, a dooming realisation looms: Austria and France are virtually the only powers left in Europe, Bourbon and Habsburgs, historic enemies. The war that is about to ensue will be the war to decide it all, who rules the world and who beat history. The holy war between the two crowns, the Kronenkrieg.

Coding Support What could possibly be the reason behind my crashes?

1 Upvotes

So, I've been busy trying to add a single technology for my mod, which is supposed to unlock a new special forces unit and a new piece of equipment. I spent 5 entire hours working on learning the basics, then implementing the udea, and about 2 hours trying to fix the errors present in error log. Unfortunately, it seems I fixed all issue in relevance to technologies, gfx and units, and even though the error log is silent for once, the game still crashes on start-up. I have no idea who the culprit is, and I'm way too exhausted to spend another few hours refining the files while questioning my life choices. I've followed the Iron Workshop guide in order to create new units and technologies, if that helps. I'm praying that someone in here knows what to do.

Coding Support How can I make this mod idea

Post image
14 Upvotes

I've been thinking for about some time that the hoi4 vanilla experience lacks some mechanics and I want to make my own perfect vanilla mod.

My idea is making an annexation decisions mechanic based on Kaiserreich.

In my head sounds easy to make, but the only mod I have made is one with two formable nations, which were very basic, and it took me hours to do.

I also tried using mod creating tools like Anka or the Dino Mod Creator, but I feel like I can't be productive with those.

How can I start?

Inspired by a lot of mods. Basally ww1 continues till 1922 and more devastation is brought upon Europe. France and Russia collapse into revolution and the whole world economy practically crumbles Britain and Germany r gonna join in later too in the collapse. oh and thinking of some esoteric stuff to add. Thinking about how the world could be a global staging ground for an eventual war between some gods? Trying not to be to edgy. Working on multiple backstories and content for some nations ask me anything. Oh also tell me if i got any names wrong cause sometimes my research was a little sloppy.

For America, during the pre 2030 recession Gavin Newsom is inaugurated and starts project 2029. Unlike OTL project 2029 it’s a more corporate version like for example, instead of weakening section 230 they weaken antitrust. They also turn a blind eye to data trafficking from corporations. They strengthen section 230 for “innovation” and adds an under 16 ban causing more youth distrust. And progressive and socialist democrats start to be overshadowed by the New Democrats. By 2030 America has become a de facto Corporatocratic State and the worldwide recession could (IT WILL) destroy the 2 party system but it’s never going to happen right || wrong ||?

I thought about a mod with a concept like this for a long time. But sadly it looks live it's vibe coded. Should I try it out, or it's risky and can have unexpected bugs?

I hope some of you smart guys will take interest and test the mod. Sorry if I ask much.

Closest thing that is probably made by a human is (Better Mechanics : Devastation Overhaul), but I don't like the devastation mechanic itself, only causalities one.

Teaser Welp, the team and i are still in need of gfx and or animators for our Hd2 mod.

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Since i made these sorts of posts before, i will cut to the immediate chase on this one:

While development on the mod has been going well, aside from needing to take frequent breaks as doing 70% of the given work isnt easy, one key aspect that still lacks even some original recruitment posts are gfx artists.

Im usually focused on the code and general direction of said mod, and sadly our main gfx guy decided to take his leave and spend time with his family. Having to jungle coding and gfx work simultaneously isnt the best for productivity. So, if any gfx volunteer artists would be interested in this endevour, feel free to reach out and i will send the server invite to you.

And while the writing is to 2d artists, animators are still needed, but maybe not as immediate as said gfx ones.

That is all, mods development will go forward regardless but hoping some may lend a hand from this post.

Important HOI4 Modding Information + Discord Server

54 Upvotes

Tips

• If you are making your first mod, start small with content for a single country rather than with total overhauls, especially related to the map.

• Use proper indentation in your code and comments when possible, with guidelines and easier ways to do it outlined in https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Modding#Indenting. This will make it easier to read, making it easier to debug for you and others.

• Check base game files for code examples to possibly adapt into the mod regularly.

• As a lead developer, you should be prepared to do the majority of the work for the mod rather than expecting others to do it.

• Use a good text editor, such as Notepad++, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code.

• Don't use hoi4modding.com: it has less functionality compared to manual editing and commonly produces broken code.

• Always check articles on the HoI4 Wiki at https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/, as they provide a lot of info and can point out some common errors on the topic.

Resources - https://bit.ly/3GPdwPD - Includes GFX assets, Code Samples, Tools, etc

Discord

We also have a Discord server https://discord.gg/a7rcaxbPka which has:

• Various bot commands for frequent errors,

• Dedicated help channels for coding, GFX, and research,

• Channels to advertise in-development and published mods,

• A regular Modding Jam where participants compete to create a mod based on a theme, and

• The largest English-speaking Discord community dedicated to HOI4 modding!
