Flags and repeatable focuses

Hi agaib. I know I've asked quite a few questions over the last days but sadly I can't figure everthying out by myself :(

2 questions:

1) How can you move the repeatable focuses window in-game? it is overlapping over some of my focuses but I can't figure out how to move the window.

2) How can I create custom flags? I have heared you have to use GIMP and that there are 3 different sizes for each individual flag (small, medium and large). But how big have those flags to be? and Where do I have to put them in order to appear ingame? Do I just have to upload them in the country-creator tool?

Thanks in advance for any help!

1) This currently isn't available on the site, although I am looking in to adding it at some point soon.

For now though, you can edit the exported focus tree files. Near the top of the file there is something like "continous_focus = { x = 0 y = 1000 }"

Change the numbers to fit accordingly.


2) If you upload a PNG of your flag in the country creator tool, it will export all 3 sizes :)

Ok, thanks again! And sorry if all my questiosn are getting annoying :(

So I can just take a flag that already exists, edit it in GIMP, then save it as a PNG and upload it to the country creator tool?

Yep :)

Ok, thanks a lot again!

One last question: I created a comestic tag nation for ym focus tree. The focus works but the name of my country stays the same. It should go from Tajikistan to Greater Tajikistan Union but for some reason that doesn't work. I think the same is with editing the starting name of a nation becuase the names I chose in the country editor don't show up as well.

Is that a known bug or am I missing something?

Do you get any errors when running the game in debug mode?

This is what I get. The flag I created doesn't show up as well and when I clicked "export mod" on my mod page a window for sending a bug report appeared for some reason.

The flags are in the folder, and I don't see any reason why the error thing is popping up... This is possibly a bug on the exporter which I will need to look into.


For the names, this is the issue:
The game has loc key collisions. Check logs/text.log for more details

This is an error on Paradox's end, and needs to be reported to them. As your mod should overwrite any localisations they have set, instead it is giving an error and reverting to the base game's localisation.


And just in your national focus, you have "infantry_weapons_1" somewhere, if you're trying to give guns the name is "infantry_equipment_1"
