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

The place name localisation is atrocious.
Calais, Lille, Dunkerque, Namur and Liège all have Dutch/German equivalents. (Respectively: Kales, Rijsel, Duinkerken, Namen and Luik/Luttich).
You can find this on Wikipedia.
How can these troons be so incompetent?
 
loving the new TFR update

"The first phase of the Young Yakub's New Jihadis project has finally have results.
Although former president Malcolm X and project lead scientist Trofim Lysenko sadly
could not live to see this day, but year's of their team's work has finally paid off. 9 months ago Barbara and her husband Bob Chandler, volunteer to have a child crossed with genetically modified DNA in hopes to create "New White People". This project has been not without extreme criticism and controversary. Scientists, philosophers, and political activists have debated the ethics of the Young Yakub's New Jihadis project as the new young boy and any that will come after will not grow up to have a normal life. However the boy's parents are confident that there new child is destined for greatness.

A team that works from the kiwi institute fruit farm and bird breeding facility will be monitoring the progress of this young boy and the future children of this project. Trofim Lysenko's team believes this is a great opportunity for humanity and possibly the future for human evolution. German defector and scientist Hans Asperger, who escape from Germany in 1945 with the original autism children, was also on the team prior to his passing in 1980. Still, Black leaders are optimistic in hopes that this will lead to better conditions for the Black community. All we can do is wait and see, however we have finally received news of the name of this newborn boy, his name is Christian Weston Chandler."

Whilst searching for a suitable mate, Subject C referred to a pair of well melanated females as "darkies." Whether this constitutes a failure of all our efforts, or another example of Subject C's alternative mode of thought remains to be seen.

Log 072109:

Subject C has been successfully cloned. This clone is significantly superior to the gene template (musical talent, intelligence, lack of insults directed towards African phenotypes). Clone has been designated Subject C while original has been redesignated Subject I. Note: Investigate "Clyde Cash" individual. Possible product of the rival German program Reiches Übermenschenprojekt.

Log 071118:

Known Burgundian Troll Farm "The Idea Guys" has been extracting money from Subject I via manipulation (likely to prop up their failing economy). Special Agent Moon, has been reinstated after his cheese induced psychopathy, and is now leading a Kill Team to eliminate the threat. Zap to the extreme Josh.

To defend the original devs, it's probably because Burgundy hold those territories. When Burgundy takes territory off of France, those territories also switch to German names.

You misunderstood me.
The territories are at the moment in the hands of burgundy and still retain their french names. Cities that *actually* have germanic equivalent names. While other, frencher regions have gruelling pastiches of pig-german as their localisation.
 
dubposting but i dont really care, update on the tyumen mod: VP names change just fine with both on_actions and scripted_effects (the TNO name system), but now state names dont change for the on_actions. even danzig which as far as i know doesn't have a scripted_effects renaming flag refuses to change its name when using on_actions when it should. i dont know really, if i want to i could scrap the whole scripted localisation idea and release the mod as is.
 
I'm only sure about the first one. Any path works, but you have to take the "Purge Extremists in the Army" focus to get Frank. If you don't you get another guy who is a Nat-synd
it's pretty funny that choosing to restore the NSDAP actually results in an objectively worse situation for you since the countries directly bordering you get a "against neo nazism" idea that offers 5%+ to attack and defense against germany
edit:
ok so there's a revolt after the 2EW in karelia and guess who's one of the two leaders

Red Dusk made a Progress announcement a little while ago, I'll Sum it up:
- UK's Labour Tree with Blair looks like it'll be allowing the player to either stand with Blair and deal with the IRA or turn against him.
- Northern Ireland is going to be a major thing for the UK as they'll likely have to deal with Loyalist and Nationalist tensions (Regardless of Which Path, i'm assuming at least)
- France has new lore, Philippe de Gaulle is starting leader, France also has a Brown Color on their ideology wheel, i'm assuming this is a Special Sub-Ideology for Right wing Nationalism
- USA has gotten a brand new Mechanic, you apparently have to deal with different approval ratings from different aspects of American society, whether it be general populace, Military etc..
- Saddam and his tree is getting a makeover in terms of portrait and icons, He will form his own Sub-Ideology centered around himself, a cult of personality.
- Stuff with Algeria
- Flair and descriptions for Spheres/Factions in the cold war

To top it all off, they've also done a Trailer for the update with it's own custom theme.

They've stated that the mod has lost a few developers but it seems that it's getting along, One Dev mentioned how they would get coders and writers joining, they'd then leave after being given work to do.

to elaborate a bit further. Purging Extremists gets Frank, but you can also get the Strasserites in Charge as well (Dritte Weg), Frank's Tree allows for you to restore Nazi Germany completely, Although it is Optional.

Allowing Extremists results in the Military doing a coup and their special Sub Path involves you being able to restore the Monarchy.

From what I've heard, this is somewhat common in HoI4 modding. God forbid someone actually works on a mod they signed up for.
 
i am about to reach my wits end with this loc shit
1738519292757.png
this is from that mod called operation thunderstorm, and this image just makes me MATI, i've tried copying over the scripted_effects folder from this mod over to the tyumen mod but it doesn't work, so it's clearly contingent on something else other than that. thing is i don't wanna copy whole folders over since i'd have to get rid of in the best case scenario whole files or worst case scenario specific lines of code from said files.

Someone needs to make a list explaining who the fuck these never-heard-of Russians are, preferably doing the same to China and hell, all of the playable nations in the mod. Ideally of course that would be the devs, but I'm sure explaining obscure characters is the least of their worries.

I'm begging you to touch grass. IWW is literally now majority reddit troon HOI modders flipping burgers. What a legacy for T-Bone Slim and friends.

Edit: Actually fuck it, since you probably think Im exaggerating, I actually checked their "unions" it's just fast food and twitter posters lmao

Burgerville IWW. Basically McDonald's for tech troon dipshits who get conned paying $20 for a burger they can get for $2 at McDonald's.

Freelance journalists union. Aka failed journos that were so unlikable like Jake Hanrahan and Ali Winston that they get blacklisted from employment and consider seethe posting on Twitter a job.
