I have no idea if it will be compatible with other mods. I haven't tested it with any

I don't think it will work with pre-FTM. FTM changed the way mods are made

I have no idea if it will be compatible with other mods.

They're going to be independent countries with cores on their provinces.

The plan is to make all of the modern countries you can find on a map. Yugoslavia is definitely getting split up.

In order to create new countries, you must do a multitude of things. First, you must create a country.txt file and place it inside \common\countries. File should be named like "France.txt". Next, you must edit a file, "\common\countries.txt". Inside you will add the countries tag and name under a region. After this, you must create a file and place it inside "\history\countries". It should it be named like "FRA - France". After this, you must edit "\localisation\countries.csv" and add the countries name and demonym in four languages. In addition to this, you can make the countries oorbat files and put them inside "\history\units" in the format that others use.

What did you use to split up the states? And by unstable, do you mean crashing?

If anyone would like to share feedback, it will help me make my mod better for all of you!

Having a hard time uploading the file, yes

Sure, maybe you know some things about flag editing? That is one area that I fall short in.

I know, I lost all my data. I did a lot of research, and Angola is fully playable. It has more IC, manpower, leadership, and all its oil. I will be adding more, so there's always that.

I am about to upload the beta! After losing all of my files, I decided to remake it country by country. This download, v0.1 will include only Angola, but Angola has all of its resources, industry, manpower, army, and everything ready. Thanks for being so patient!

I'll try to get a beta release out soon

Move the file to your \Hearts of Iron III\Mods folder. Unzip it with 7zip or WinRar. Open the game launcher, and under the mod selection it should appear

Furthermore, if you want to play without being a puppet, follow the above instructions, then find your save game file. It should be under documents, in a folder called Hearts of Iron or Paradox. Find your game file, and open it. Control-F and search for PAL if you are Palestine. When you find a chunk of code called "vassal="PAL", delete this chunk and save the file. You should now be a free country, not a puppet.

However, my mod will make Palestine playable at the start of the game without any of the above required.

Yes, that is a primary goal of this project

I'm sorry, I haven't gotten much done over the holidays, but I'll be getting back to work soon. Africa is my number 1 priority right now. I am adding industry and resources to more accurately represent their potential. Paradox Interactive greatly under-represented the manpower values of minor countries and Africa, and I am currently fixing them

I've run into an error while messing around with flags, and the mod won't play. Working on it, will post some updates soon hopefully

It's not ready to release yet, I hope to have a beta download up before the new year

In other news, I've just about finished North Africa. Will have more screenshots up tonight
