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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
You know i've been beginning to think of some concepts but i have been seriously struggling with a map, putting all these nations together into one coheasable map...
I think that we could probably use imageboards and a couple forums as some nations, maybe we could have minority specific nations like idk... A furfag israel or a brony country or whatever, i imagine that we could have a world where theres two political establishment, kinda like a cold war gamergate 2... And eventaully we could have a big ass war or something, we could see.
Should i try just using a vanilla map for now? Or maybe design a custom one from stratch, tell me please.

do it, no balls
 
I would recommend you first start with the vanilla world map just so you can get some basics worked out and think about what sort of terrain and size and population you are gonna have for each nation. Making a new map would be quite a bit of work and know what you want would make it less work.

This 'Epic Map Game Moments' acct posted a banger on Xitter (it reached 6k likes) and immediately went into a minor meltdown when 'political extremists' started following him. It's not that interesting yet, but I sense a lolcow potential here.

Okay fellas. What is the best place to learn about kiwifarms history, what i currently could probably do is probably try making some kinda nation for the sharty and 4chan, r drama and reddit stuff too, thats what i mostly know. But yeah i am quite new here, so id need to learn a bit about this community to be able to make some good shit

For an abridged overview of the Feeder Dynasty, begin with the anniversary stream;
There is a lot of lore scattered around so broaden your horizons, and bear in mind there's a lot of complete bullshit, all of it mixed in with some truth.

Here's something for sharty for example, the site is known for raiding and wanting qa to return, so first maybe through a couple events and other things they could grow their nation through conflict with smaller ones (Which historically were raided places) and eventually it would bleed into some kinda epic heckin world war two war, some nations could maybe try going on their own personal crusades or just be there for filler, i think only a couple should actually have "content" or ways to grow...

Also should we make a specific thread for this maybe? (Albeit i got no idea where to do that. theres a lot of categories.)

Also, whilst on the topic of the modmaking, what should the background be? I made a slightly more darker, different version of the hoi4 background which maybe depending on the person could have the colors changed, i think that it would be an easy way for anyone to support the project, making focus tree icons, portraits, etc... Here is frooty babooty for example. I could try making my own assets for the mod, would take a lot more time, or maybe just make the suit a little bit more detailed haha.

I'm surprised there is no HOI4 modding kit or application to make modding easier

There's a few things out there but most of it is still text editing. There's a tool that automatically resizes and converts images of Flags into the 3 sizes Hoi4 uses, and theres a addon for Visual Code I think that lets you preview what your focus tree will look like, though you still need to do everything in the code.

Yeah, long story short, you have to do some work if you want to mod. There are also map making scripts/programs out there that automate that part of modding. The aspect of making an overhaul mod that kills most mods is the large amount of work needed to neutralize all the vanilla stuff, that's of course the reason the vast majority of mods take place in the vanilla timeframe.

Yeah it's what im worrying about the most, i can for sure do a LOT of work on the mod but id probably need some help with REMOVING vanilla things, but i dont think it'd be that hard right? Just maybe making all the vanilla events impossible to activate or something... We'll see, but im sure ill be able to push out the mod to some state perhaps, albeit ill need your help. I have began trying some things out, i wanna maybe make two random nations and also make a custom gui before starting le toooooserz. I will maybe not post on this thread anymore for like a bit of time until i finish all the stuff iwanna finish heh.

I like the idea so far. Any idea what setting/start date it would be? Maybe you could have different scenarios like the 2016 Meme War, and have Tumblr and 4chan nuke it out.

Also custom ideologies would be cool: you could have something like "Janniocracy" for despotic moderator rule, "Social Justice" for Tumblrites and more like Hacktivism, the Alt-Right or even the Pirate Party/cyber-libertarians.

I think for now maybe a good start date would be... Now... Seems as a lot of interesting scenarios could be done with that. For now id atleast wanna get the basic mod out haha
But uhh progress has been okay, i am working on a sharty country, with imageboards and subreddits i pretty much have no problem with making interesting nations, HOWEVER i need a bit of help with kiwifarms, but uhh yea.
https://kiwifarms.st/threads/hoi4-m...and-internet-conglomerates-as-nations.191307/ I made a thread where ill be discussing updates about the mod.

Yeah, these mf's are gonna get their shit nuked lmao, Any bets for a rough timeframe until the dipshit owner accidentally makes the wrong person a simple dev (Yes, they have full admin perms according to both the owner and a Dev in the server who i asked)

I give it about a month. Hell, it would actually be a change of pace for something to happen in regards to the mod.

As an aside, I haven't played TNO in years, did they ever expand the Africa content? That was always the biggest disappointment to me, that a fail state was the only outcome for the German victory, especially when the flavor events made it sound like the Germans were just wiping out everyone.

There is the chance (no matter how slim it might be) that the current devs aren't retarded and the police state works in keeping drama away.
