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

That's the thing, the toozers for the mod contain ALL the content. Some nations don't have flags, all of them except the ones shown in toozers don't have leaders, some nations even use their ideas from the base game like Greece and Illyria and others use their base game focus trees like Russia. On one hand, I initially thought of taking over the modmyself but it's way out of my league. It has a custom opening screen that's like TFR but it's broken and I don't even know the lore, much less how to implement that influence mechanic for Russia or what the major conflicts would be. That's not even counting the GFX assets like the TV overlays and flag backgrounds for leaders, or even basic shit like focus icons. If we had the assets maybe @GoodWinSon could help and make some basic GFX icons, but the opening tree needs to be fixed or scrapped entirely and we need to figure out the general flow of the game, like what wars would happen and such.

I ain't exactly a gfx artist. Basically I just screw with assets from TNO and other (dead) mods and call it a day. You could probably do better, going off your portraits.

This is more autistic than Czar's drama super events.

Edit: By the gui on the top, are they leaning towards a mod hiatus? I've heard irregularly about the mod being ruined by pressing for "historical accuracy" (in the sicko mode "epic gamer" megavillain mod) but funny if true

Nah, they just used Schlafly's endscreen because she's the most "Trump-like" US president that TNO has. It probably isn't anything major because nobody expects anything from them anymore and they sure as hell don't want to admit that they haven't worked on the mod for months (probably closer to a year by this point)

Well in some actual TNO news, I finally made icons for railroads and supply hubs

They have worked on the mod but reboot it every now and then whenever they get mad about real life politics. I don't remember if it was posted here before but here's their US lead replacing a US president that was worked on for years because he wasn't evil enough to be a Republican. Coincidentally, shortly after the US election. I think that's a good example of this.

Speaking of Schlafly, have you seen her rework? It's beyond parody.

I don't know what the 2WRW devs are doing. The Omsk update should've been out by now, it's been in the works for like 1.5 or 2 years now and nevermind the fact that they've yet to integrate the content from OD TNO (Cambodia, Indian war, and the like.) In fact they've been so slow that a 15 year old Chinese modder ported over the entirety of 2WRW to main TNO. I was always a bit skeptical of the claim that 2WRW became independent because porting over all the content to the new map would've been too hard since all you'd need to do is go over Shukshin's tree and change the states affected and the states exchanged in the 2WRW peacedeals and the 2GCW starting states which would be piss easy and could be done in an afternoon. I'm gonna try porting over the new content in myself, but god knows if it'll work considering all the shitty ass variables and triggers that TNO so it'll probably be harder than a simple drag 'n drop.

Based on what's trickled down from their Discord to 4chan: Their old tag lead wanted to turn Omsk into TNO's Mexico and have everything be a mini game. This meant that you had no progress for ages for obvious reasons. But good news is that everyone involved in that debacle is gone and they're doing their content the way you'd expect TFR to do things. And as if through magic, they've gone from zero progress to (allegedly) almost having the Great Trial be playable. It's not that hard to believe. Let's take TNO's France for an example. It has taken several years with a huge team and is still nowhere near done since it's meant to be a mini game bonanza. TFR got theirs playable in a handful of months with several routes.

Moral of the story? Trying to turn HOI4 into Victoria 3 was always a really bad idea and we should be happy that people are moving away from this.

No, they didn't port it over because they hated the new map. I wonder why?

TFR is still in "April Fools" mode and borderline unplayable. I don't give a single fuck about the vortex of autism that is gay Discord drama, I just wanted to play the mod again.

I like TFR and I'm happy they bounced back after Czar's attempted coup but not having a toggle for that shit is inexcusable.

The HOI4 workshop will become unusable once pajeets discover the existence of ideologywanking and the front page is eternally filled with variations of "Kashmirreich: what if India won the whitekrieg?"

Thankfully though Afrocentrists don't seem to be capable of programming so for the near future we will be safe from Kangz wewuzing their way into alt history.

What's their April Fools mode?
Click to expand...
It's a bunch of memes. Xi as the Emperor from 40K, Grove Street from San Andreas being playable, Japan having a Tekken character as their leader and lots of joke focus trees. On one hand that's impressive for a shitpost but I just want to play as Patriot Front and chill.

If TFR really does make a comeback, one of my wishes is they add Rudyard Lynch as this mods's Taboritsky. He starts off as either Market Liberal or Conservative then becomes schizo-radical once he has his mental breakdown.

They could add him as the pope/head priest of Wotanist Schizo-Theocracy where he communicates with Yahweh and Wotan daily, writing down his ten commandants and putting down the heretics and blasphemers whom dare to question his Mighty Word.
