[HOI4 Modding] Creating Custom GUI

I knew I forgot to mention something but after 3 hours of recording my brain was a mess of jelly. If you want to attach your scripted gui to decisions you do that via the decision category file. Just add the line scripted_gui = NAME_OF_YOUR_GUI_FROM_BEHAVIOUR_FILE
You can see how it's done with the USA congress system which can be found in Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\common\decisions\categories\USA_decision_categories.txt

I want to make a mercenary mod

How do you make a new button show text when you hover over it?

Is it possible that I just take someone else texture mod gui from the workshop. Then chance some of the textures and put it into my mod? Or just simply merge someones custom qui mod to my mod

Heyo, this video was great! I do have a question though, is it possible to make hovering over buttons display stuff, eg: like hovering over decisions? I've made a mod that's currently based in decisions, and would like to build a custom gui for it. I've made the gui, and currently adding buttons, and was wondering if there was a way for me to add more information via hover overs? If not, I'll probably have the buttons open up smaller gui's with this info. Thanks :)

Is there a way to make a modifier mod for the host in an mp

I made a custom bookmark choosing interface where I made both bookmarks 1936 and made them overlap (I want to remove the 1939 bookmark). I am pretty sure that the .gui file works since when I drag it into the interface folder after i launched the game, it worked as intended. However, if I launch the game with my custom .gui file already in the interface folder, it would not work and will show two 1936 bookmarks. I am sure that it is not the .gui file itself that caused issue because I also tested with the .gui file from the TNO mod. How could I fix that?

Thank you for this explanation. I'm having a problem with the image not showing up completely

Hello I am trying to make a bar that is similar to the autonomy bar. Does anyone know the syntax needed for this?

I LOVE YOU MAN!!! You just saved my ass

Your template mod should have visible = {has_country_flag = open_my_new_gui} as the default instead of visible = no

Hello! I have a question. How do I attach the scripted gui to the top bar?

What should I do to make the interface change without restarting the game?

Hey, how to you make mods that change the map style (like fps map) and make mods that change the color of the gui (like buttons)

This is very cool! Do you know how to change the Text Font for Countrys? What I mean is the text that is on top of the countries when you load the game. Would be awesome to know how to do it because I have been struggling with it.

Any chances on a tutorial for gridBoxTypes and adding scrollbars? I couldn't find anything on the wiki for that

Hi,
I am a bit puzzled:

I have tried to reload the game (from the main menu), but the game keeps showing the giant "X" and on top of it the decision to open does not reset after being completed (even if it is set it to fire_only_once = no)...

What could be wrong with my game? :-/
Do you have any special setting to reset the decision? :-? P.S.: I have understood what I was doing wrong: Reload the game means "reload from desktop", right??! :O (And the decisions resets at the end of day even if is listed as not to fire only once...fire only once = no is equal to days_re_enable = 1!! :-/ )

How do you link the scripted GUI file in interface to the localisation file?

Hi Iron workshop. I have such an idea, would you do a tutorial on how to create a new map to HO4? I found some tutorial on the Internet but nothing worked. And all your tutorials work for me.

Could you please make a video how to create something like the senate from the US and how to use it for other countries?

Very interesting and rich with information video! However I wonder if what I intended to do is even possible; which is to create a custom window or to override the existing one where you assign equipment to certain divisions in the division manager. My idea was to group them in tiers and sort by experience added to the variants, perhaps - again, if that's possible - giving them some kind of annotations to better recognize foreign equipment. Given that next step would be to add a check box button to assign/unassign the whole tier at once. Would that be possible with scripted GUI? Could you advise me where to start and what to look for?

Please do a video on variables soon! I want to add additional political mana systems into the game

Excellent work with your mods and videos, they're very good! I'm planning to do a translation mod but I've never done a mod before and I don't know which files I should add to the mod folder apart from the localisation. Could you do a tutorial on how to do a translation mod or tell me which files I should add to my mod folder? Thanks!!!
