Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Sorry Speer, Bormann is my new favorite successor.

He has great debug decisions

He doesn't have any failsafes which end his content and I have to develop workarounds for

He always completes his content

He doesn't crash the game because he uses an OOB file which references a division template that doesn't exist

He fights wars good (usually)

Heil Borman, the Brown Fuhrer, savior of Germany and my sanity. May death grant him 200 lightly used succubi and a functioning economy

Its since he was the canon guy. Boremann never really had any stop-gaps like Speer who has like 5 different endings. Boremann has like two endings. He either gets couped by the SS and replaced or he dies of cancer in the mid 70s.
 
Not close at all one big problem was we have very very detailed autist. Lore but not enough of a Team to code we have one coder who’s Sicilian so you can guess the work ethic there,it’s not abondend since most of the dev higher ups still pitch in a little bit as a passion project but I want to start ramping up devlopment again by the start of next year
Interesting, I'll clue him in, he's worked on a lot of big projects so he'd certainly bring something useful to the project.
 
There's also fallout pony mod in progress, if you are for some reason interested.
Has anyone here ever made a submod for OWB? I'm thinking of doing it but I don't know if it'll be harder than vanilla modding.
Depends. If you're giving Honduras a cool new focus tree with an in-depth politics mechanic, then it shouldn't be anymore difficult than vanilla.

The fallout mod is called Balefire Blues and quite recently they had a new major update, the mod lacks some polish here and there but it is a enjoyable experience, definitly you can see that the devs want to make their tags unique for the player to try out.

Tbh I have been playing EAW for a while and I have to say that it's the least preachy mod out of the all that I played, sure there is representation here and there but as of now I didn't saw anything that would be into my face so I don't mind,Quite frankly, I even like how I unironically don't care having my ruler be a wamen or not straight because they are just interesting on their own, for fucks sake one of the better campaigns I had in EAW was Hippogriffia fascist path which had a Bisexual Playboy Ace (as in Air Ace) as a leader and I loved reading on it, clearly quite a bit of thought went into making a fascist path when it's just not pure evil or undermine the leader as either a crybaby or a dumbass, all of it being written by a trans and I think a former TNO dev but I don't remember 100%, it was mentioned in the general chat when North Zebrica released years ago.

Also, been playing recently a reworked nations for Yaks and they also have quite fun but quite difficult at points campaigns, can recommend it since they are actually fairly short besides the secret "genghis khan reborn" kinda path.

Cool, do you still have some of the stuff from the 4chan redux days?

Max hasn’t been a main dev or part of the team in like 3-4 years don’t know what happened to him tbh

As said in my story he got cucked evidently. We'll see if you survive and post content best of luck to you.

In funnier news though the new Antartica update dropped aaaaaaaaaaaaaand...

2 FUCKING YEARS OF CONTENT. TWO FUCKING YEARS! I am actually pissed a bit. This took them a whole year to make and while I am impressed at changing a whole ass map projection they only have two years for the Antarctic nations? Modern TNO is just Yandere-Dev. We ain't ever going to see TNO2. The Antarctic stuff at least seemed interesting but now what the crap is this? Mexico at least had 4 years but it seems the longest Antarctic content is the OFN one at three years and the Japs and Italians don't have any content at all on release. I feel TNO is worse than a teaser mod. When they do release content its so fucking horrible.

two years of content just to play as a 3rd world nation's puppet state in a region barely anyone lives in. no shade on Argentina but tbh they ain't a world power by 1962 let's be honest lol
 
Fun fact, China can get the most research slots with their max being 5. Even majors are locked at 4 (Speer can get a temporary 5th but it's practically useless)

I've capped them at 4. I also made sure that Speer can actually fight Schroener during the slave revolt. If Schroener invades the slaves before you can declare on him, you're screwed out of your ending content so making sure the player and ai can actually fight him is pretty important.
Actually the whole slave revolt was massively screwed up and basically impossible to do right. To invade Schroener you need to bring down a certain variable by spamming decisions that cost pp. Sounds easy enough, but there's a catch. No matter if you're going reform or speerite, you get spammed with events that lower your PP to around -400. So it becomes impossible to take the invasion decision before Schroener starts his war, which as mentioned, locks you out of any further content.
This might be overkill, but I added code to make sure you have enough pp to do the invasion

I also fixed a bug where Speer never annexes Crimea. You now get it through your Ukraine focuses

I do something similar where I pick the most morally bankrupt path, and then liberally utilize nuclear weapons.

I'm all for funny haha content, but two years for a tiny smidge of Antarctica content? That's just shameful. At least the very least, you should be able to have a continental war, spend billions trying to drill for oil, and find hidden SS bases where Burgundian researchers attempt to prove that Germans have cold resistance similar to penguins.

It's worse, actually. A lot of this was playable on the Steam Workshop since years back. They're just integrating a submod. So the entire update is, in fact, a map update, unplayable India content, and Moskowien's civil war being cut. Oh, and Fiji was added.
Modern TNO is just Yandere-Dev.
With this in mind, I think you owe Yandere dev an apology. :lol:

Granted I haven't followed any of Yandev's antics in about two or so years, but unless if he's been actively cutting stuff out of Yansim instead of just prevaricating on adding new stuff in, he's better at developing a game than the TNOrannies.

I'd still consider Yandere Dev to be an infinitely worse person over Panzer or Freddie Freaker tho. Maybe Mr. 129 Powerline Road Freedom Pennsylvania is on par however since iirc he tried to RP with minors.

I went through the trouble of modding in Lee Goldson as a leader for the true TBD experience but the hard drive I had it on acked a few months ago unfortunately.

The original submod release already had the Neushwabenland content and teased a Burgundian Ahnenerbe research base lead by Wolfram von Sievers.
