When you say infrastructure, you mean roads and railways right? Because building Military or Civilian Factories doesn't affect you from building infrastructure. Factories together with dockyards/shipyards, oil synthetics, rockets and nuclear reactors are in a whole different category from infrastructure and everything else.

Besides, why would you want to mod this aspect of the game? It takes away any challenge you may want or expect; Just wondering?

@ Aleks52 - I've got an issue I hope you or someone here can help me with. I'm trying to add pictures of generals and admirals to your mod for "MY OWN" personal enjoyment and immersion and not because I'm being selfish. I say "MY OWN" not because I am selfish and don't want to share, but because I don't want you or anyone to think that I am modifying your mod in order to upload it as "MY OWN". I always give credit to the author of a mod and I always ask permission if I were ever to upload anything. I just don't like playing a modern day mod and then having generals and admirals who look like they're from the 1930's. I also have plans on adding leader pics for countries on the map that have no leaders, again to help with immersion.

Anyway, before anyone asks me, yes I do have photoshop and gimp with dds plugins installed and I am also a very experienced modder, having modded Modern Day Scenario for Supreme Ruler 2020 and Europa Universalis 4. I've also modded Stellaris, HoI3 and any game that I feel could do with a tweak. So I can say with confidence that I'm not a beginner. I've also watched this guys tutorial vid on youtube: Youtube.com and so far to no effect?

I've followed everything the guy has said but the leader pic isn't appearing. I edited the image on Gimp dds - no effect and on Photoshop 1.5.5.5 ARG and no effect. I've named the picture Portrait_ENG_general_Sarah_West (dds file), added it into this folder: C:\Users\Simbro\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\millennium_dawn\gfx\leaders\ENG, but no effect.

So what I did is take a look at your USA and GER folders both within the Leaders folder and I found for example that Klaus Rheinhardt appears in-game, but his other contemporary/colleague Portrait_GER_general_Volker_Wieker doesn't appear? I even played as Germany and I can confirm this since I've got over 20 Generals already and he's not on the list whilst Rheinhardt and Stockmann are both on it.

I've reached a point now where I'm totally confused as to why this is happening. I've even tried calling my picture Portrait_genericgeneral_Sarah_West and still nothing. However, I can confirm that there is nothing wrong with the dds file since when I called it Portrait_ENG_David_Cameron, it appears in-game. It just doesn't seem to be working for generals or admirals. Even a few of your pics which you've name correctly aren't appearing in-game?

Can you or someone please help me?

All you have to do is open the zip folder and copy both the Millennium Dawn Folder and the Millennium Dawn movie clip into your mods folder here:C:\Users\Simbro\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod.

If you don't have a mod folder in your Hoi4 main folder, just create a new folder and call it mod.

Hope this helps. ;)

Hi Tarkus. I've got a problem with NAM. I have recently downloaded it from Sim Divotion and ran into a problem. Basically, when I use the puzzle pieces, the game crashes. I've got all the dependencies and files for the game and it is compatible with my system. I've also used NAM before, but nothing like this has ever happened. My map is also clear of any TE or stations and I'm only trying to create a dirt road leading to a small village. It doesn't crash the game instantly, it usually lets me use the puzzle pieces for about 5 min. Then it crashes. I've read everything on the forum related to this issue including the stuff on this page. I don't know how to use the JDatPacker though, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tarkus, I have a problem when using NAM. My game crashes when I'm placing puzzle pieces whilst NAM is running. It crashes after I place puzzle pieces and the thing is, there are no stations whatsoever on the map. I'm simply trying to build a dirt road linking the main road to a small village.
Now it doesn't crash immediately, it hangs for a few seconds when it is about to crash. Do you know or have any idea on what the problem is?

I've read most of the threads on Simtropolis, but none of them states a real solution except for the one on this page regarding JDatPacker. The thing is, I've no idea when it comes to the packer since I've never used it before. What I'd simply like is for the ctds to stop. So any help or advice will be most appreciated.
