Quickstart Guide

1. Set this mod as a dependency for your vanilla mod, or copy the contents of this mod into your mod.

2. Add an on_action in common/on_actions with an on_startup like below:

on_startup = { effect = { 1 = { add_to_array = { global.filter_arrays = [YOUR FILTER INDEX] } } } }

3. Localize your filter in a localisation file

custom_map_mode_filter_name_[YOUR FILTER INDEX]:0 "My Custom Filter"

3.5 Localize state tooltips if you would like!

custom_map_mode_state_tooltip_[YOUR FILTER INDEX]:0 "Filter State Tooltip" custom_map_mode_state_tooltip_delayed_[YOUR FILTER INDEX]:0 "Filter State Delayed Tooltip"

4. Populate your filter using a scripted effect in common/scripted_effects:

custom_map_mode_filter_initialize_[YOUR FILTER INDEX] = { find_color_graph = yes for_each_scope_loop = { array = global.states OWNER = { set_variable = { PREV.state_frame_number = custom_map_color } } set_state_flag = mapmode_state_visible } }

4.5 Add a button effect:

custom_map_mode_filter_click_[YOUR FILTER INDEX] = { ROOT = { launch_nuke = { state = PREV controller = ROOT use_nuke = no } } }

This example creates a color-graph for countries making sure no two bordering nations share a color. If you click on a state, it will nuke a random province!

To overwrite the filters in the example, it is recommended you only remove/edit the files named example_filters.

Geoparser Quickstart

1. Download the geoparser from https://github.com/ICodeMaster/hoi4geoparser/releases

2. Put it in any folder you would like. Run it once to generate the config

3. Edit the modPath and hoi4Path to be their respective paths

4. Add colors! The first color block defines the state-colors for the "solid" style. RGBA values between 0-255 only.
4.5 The second block allows defining "hashed" style colors.

5. The first time you use start the mod, use this console command: "effect find_color_graph" This will output the minimum number of "solid" style colors you need to have in your config to color every country on your map so no two countries share a color. Vanilla requires 5 colors

6. Run the tool again. When prompted, generate the files for the mapmode mod

7. Copy the example mod into your mod path.

8. Copy the contents of the mod_path directory in the tool's directory into your mod path.

9. All done! Create and modify filters as desired.

@Rikai, my description got deleted again! Sorry about that!

Where do I find the link to the discord? I looked into the files and I can't find it anywhere. The Readme just contains the link to the geoparser which I still don't know what to do with yet.
