![]() As for version number, fill out the necessary version you mod will be for, currently Hearts of Iron is 1.11.9. Next fill in the boxes with the information you want, such as your mod name and the directory, which does not have to match your mod's name. From there click "Upload Mod", and then "Create Mod". To do this launch Hearts of Iron, then on the left hand side, click on the button that says "Installed Mods". To begin, let's create a mod for our new portrait. With the 1.11/No Step Back update, the way to create new leaders has now been changed. Now let's move on to the next step: having your portrait appear in game. However, for custom leaders, I will be showing you how to set a custom path later in this guide. For the purposes of this guide, I will be overwriting the copy of Stalin's portrait I made, so I don't have to change the portrait path. Once you have minimized and toyed with the image a bit to your liking, save the portrait as either the same image or one with your preferred name, MAKE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A DDS FILE. If this is the case, simply shift-left click while dragging the borders of the image inward to minimize the image while still maintaining the ratio. Now, the image you have pasted may be a bit larger the the portrait. Select "keep canvas size", as expanding the canvas will make things more difficult to format. Now you should get a pop up that says something like this: Now, open your image and the template portrait up in your preferred program, I will be using .Īfter this, select the "Rectangle Select" tool, and use it to select a vertical rectangle in the area that you want the portrait to show.Ĭopy and paste the selected area into the template portrait. ![]() Make a copy of the portrait you need on your desktop, or somewhere that is easily reachable. All of Hoi4's portraits can be found in:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\leaders For the sake of coding simplicity, I will be overwriting Stalin's portrait. In order to make this as simple as possible, we are going to "overwrite" a vanilla portrait with the portrait we want to make. In this example I have decided to replace Joseph Stalin with Russia's greatest love machine: Rasputin. To begin this guide, we will begin by choosing a portrait that we want added into the game. ![]()
