Suggestions for Future Modding Tools

This is a list of the tools that are all modders dream. DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert at coding, hence why I'm using this website. I have no clue if these features can be added. I know this site has a lot of work to do already, and jordsta is working his hardest to make this website work. This list is not a list of demands or a list to add more work to the pile. It is a list of suggestions. And it's a list for the far, far future.

1. Ideology Creator.  An ideology creator is either the most difficult or easiest tool to make in this list. It's simple: Make a name for the ideology, write a description, and select a colour. This part is easy, but implementing this in the actual mod/game may be impossible.

2. Description Creator: This is a simple thing: write descriptions for leaders, advisors, generals and admirals, so your mod has nice lore.

3. Loading Screen Editor:  You upload your mod, and you play it for a test run. It's about how aircraft was never invented! Then, as you load the game, you see several pictures with planes in them. To fix this issue, a tool to add different pictures, quotes, and even loading "..." may help the mod look much better lore-wise and for immersion.

4. Music Editor: Speaking of immersion, many mods have different music. This could also be an option for a tool, submitting music for a music editor. 

5. Start/Country Screen Editor: With your picture in the background and your mod name next to the HOI4 icon, you gleefully click start. Then you realize the country selector has minor and blanks, countries that have no focuses and those that aren't fun! A way around this is the country/start menu editor. Put your mod name and version next to the HOI4 symbol. Add countries to the country select, and add their descriptions, fun focuses, and horrid national spirits. Maybe you want 14 countries instead of 7, so you add another row!

6. Super Events: Super events are everyone's favorite part of Red Flood, The New Order, and more. But what if they were a part of you mod? Add a quote, a quick clip of music, and a background picture. 

Once again, I have no idea if these can work or not. Thanks.

This is definitely in the pipeline. No idea when I will get around to starting on it, but definitely possible and will come in the future.

 What do you mean by this? Just something to edit the localisation files, or something else?

 I'll have to have a look in to how these work, but they should be possible. Can't say if/when they will be possible, but I can definitely look into it and see how plausible it is :)

Yes, adding descriptions is in the localization files, however I am not entirely sure. A good example of what I'm saying is when you hover over a leader, (in lets say Kaiserreich) it gives you their background and story.
