Please be aware:
The list of Compatibility Patches has been moved to the appropriate Forum post
Zam138  [author] Nov 25 @ 2:39am 
As a heads-up:

Because HOI4 has changed various UI's around, in order to avoid reliance on Arms Against Tyranny to access army/navy/air perks they are now located in the Research Screen.

They are still free to research, but if you selected the research screen via an already-researching tech then you'll have to resume whatever technology you were researching prior.

Addendum: all this assumes said patched mod doesn't update in a way that adds something that isn't covered by the patch to be overwritten, in that case I'm SoL lol
Zam138  [author] Nov 24 @ 1:54pm 
@tyrel68 Load Order matters less in the cases when mods are specifically assigned to overwrite one another, as with a compatibility patch it doesn't matter if UTCM or the patched mod are first if the Compatch overwrites both.

Like, imagine a compatch as the top of a mountain, and everything below it is either vertically covered by the top (and is patched) or is "below" the top and can exist on either side of the compatch.

That's a long story just to say "I went through the patched mod and their prereqs to overwrite anything that conflicts with UTCM with either UTCM's thing or a combination of UTCM and that mod"
tyrel68 Nov 24 @ 8:09am 
-UTCM's Dependencies
-Dependencies of the above Compatibility Patches

Isnt this reversec? I ,thought the load order is always top down

Steamorge Floyd issue then I can't install, I have no other mods installed, no conflicts.

@Zam138 yeah thank you i seen it in my game, was like yeah that's the best...keep up the good work and thanks once again for your time, its appreciated
Zam138  [author] Nov 16 @ 11:42am 
@Zorelnam While I can't speak to much to the specifics of that mod since I'm not the one who made it, Foxy's TNO GUI for ERX also deals with Defines and Unit Equipment so I'd suggest ending a run first before disabling it for a new game
Zorelnam Nov 16 @ 4:47am 
Hey man, awesome work, truly incredible the amount of mods you have managed to make compatible here, i installed it and followed the instructions and it works.

By the way, is it alright if i disable the TNO GUI? or will it lead to further problems? I am not super fond of the color scheme
Zam138  [author] Nov 13 @ 8:29am 
It crashes for you, yes, but for some reason it doesn't crash for me nor any of the people across various OWB discords I've asked, and the only people who do claim it's crashing have yet to say anything about their modlists in the Bug Reports forum or in the Compatibility issues forum, so I'm going to assume that something has installed wrong for you, you've downloaded an incompatible mod or don't have a patch installed, or that you're working with one of the map mods and haven't annexed away the usual suspects like the Itza, Breakers, or Langenburg.

Regardless, while I'm sorry you're crashing, that's not our problem.

Still crashes when tried on 3 PCs, fresh installs all paradox files didn't exist or deleted. It does crash lil bro...
Zam138  [author] Nov 12 @ 8:48am 
Which is odd, because it works perfectly fine for me on both a playlist without any extraneous mods and heavily-modded playlists alike. So you've either got something installed wrong, or you've installed a conflicting mod.
Wolfgang Nov 12 @ 2:39am 
Literally did everything, and one of the mods for the tech comp aint working
Zam138  [author] Nov 11 @ 12:08pm 
No, it doesn't, uninstall and reinstall your HOI4 and verify your files.
12sep Nov 11 @ 10:06am 
This or one of the mods required crashes the game constantly. Fix please.
Zam138  [author] Nov 7 @ 5:40am 
@cains8329 Since I didn't say it before, all equipment now has conversions (where it makes sense)
Zam138  [author] Nov 4 @ 8:09am 
@l16ma3alls
A: Please add compatibility requests in the forum
B: I just looked and there shouldn't be anything in it that conflicts with this mod

@cains8329
I believe there's already a mod that does this, conversions and variants, though as I believe it will be somewhat incompatible I'll be making a patch/update shortly
l16ma3alls Nov 2 @ 9:17am 
please make compatibility patch for courier six redux beta
cains8329 Oct 28 @ 5:43pm 
@Zam138 haha that would be wild, no im talking about pipe guns upgrade to m16's....flamers being able to be upgraded to the next tier flamer....etc, etc....we had a conversion mod for OWB's but its dead from what i can tell....just was a thought if you could add such a feature...but no worries and keep up the great work for you and foxy...thanks again its appreciated
Zam138  [author] Oct 27 @ 2:51pm 
@Steve Foxy has already made a patch for both just Navy Rework as well as for all three ANV Reworks

@cains8329 If you're looking for functionality to turn plasma rifles into Deathclaws, then that is outside the scope of this mod.
cains8329 Oct 27 @ 1:15pm 
@Zam138 love the mods.....is it possible to make a equipment conversion button?? having all this extra equipment and no real market besides to puppets kinda stinks lol i would love a market access but its an OWB's thing i guess
Steve Oct 26 @ 9:26pm 
can you make a patch for the OWB navy rework
Raid: Shadow Legends Oct 26 @ 2:24pm 
@Zam138 Appreciate the response. Got it working now after updating lol
Колосс востока Oct 26 @ 9:33am

the sandwich Oct 26 @ 2:30am 
ignore my last comment, it appears i simply forgot to update one mod.
the sandwich Oct 26 @ 2:10am 
im having the same issue as raid, i have unsubbed and resubbed all of the relevant mods and no dice, game still crashes.
Zam138  [author] Oct 25 @ 7:42pm 
@Raid: Shadow Legends you're still using the previous version, unsubscribe and resubscribe
Raid: Shadow Legends Oct 25 @ 2:16pm 
Sadly it seems the use of this mod causes a CTD when starting a new game. Probably because of the latest OWB update.
Grynn Oct 25 @ 1:28pm 
@Meowmix I was able to find the problem: bug is caused by the Rail and Roads Tech Tree Rework mod.
Zam138  [author] Oct 21 @ 7:06am 
@Meowmix If you can't open the research tree, that means there's an incompatibility of some kind somewhere, meaning you somehow have another technology-affecting mod on without a patch.
Meowmix Oct 21 @ 6:36am 
anyone unable to open the research tree? I click to select a tech to research and it opens for a split second and closes. This is only with the mods required to make this mod work so whats wrong?
Floof Oct 19 @ 6:55pm 
idk what to tell you. I disabled ERX military installations and I stopped crashing
Speedier User Oct 17 @ 1:29pm 
I'm having the same problem that @Grynn has. I can use the base mod just fine but if I use any of the official mods then the tech tree won't open.
FoxySkies  [author] Oct 17 @ 10:09am 
@Floof

No its not, I'm the dev for that and I already turned off all possible CTDs.
Floof Oct 17 @ 6:38am 
I figured out the issue, it was ERX military installations
FoxySkies  [author] Oct 16 @ 10:01pm 
@Floof

Modlist?
Floof Oct 16 @ 7:56pm 
I feel like im losing my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mind but I keep crashing on exactly 15:00 on march 31st, 2275. I annexed all of those problem tags and it still occurs. I do not have any of the outdated map mods on either, just map filler, cuba, caribbean, FOD, and ECR. I have the needed patches for each
FoxySkies  [author] Oct 14 @ 5:03pm 
IF YOU ARE CRASHING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME AFTER LOADING IN OR AT ANY POINT DURING A GAME SESSION: FIRST ANNEX AWAY CHICTAN IZLA(IF YOU HAVE CUBA ON), THE BREAKERS(IF YOU HAVE ECR ON), AND THE CUBAN JUNTA(IF YOU HAVE CUBA ON) BEFORE REPORTING BUGS!
Zam138  [author] Oct 12 @ 4:38pm 
@Grynn I just got done playing a Unity in Texas submod run a few minutes ago on a 108-mod playlist so it's definitely stress-tessed and working for me
Grynn Oct 12 @ 3:23pm 
@Zam138
Hi man. First of all, I want to say thanks for an amazing mod. There is no going back.
But I have a small question. Today I decided to try 2 new mods: OWB Tech Tree Icon Overhaul Redux and Unit Model Overhaul Redux. Both are from the same team. I downloaded 2 compatibility patches (listed above), my load order is: OWB -> Stuff like Better Ideologies -> UTCM's Dependencies -> OWB Tech Tree and Unit Overhauls -> UTCM -> compatibility patches.
So the game loads, all good, I see new models, but I just can't open the research window. Can you please test if it works for you?
Thank you!
Meowmix Oct 4 @ 12:57pm 
I don't know where to post a suggestion so i will post it here, perhaps for the robot-designer should have some modules for wepons
Zam138  [author] Oct 2 @ 2:54am 
@FlashmanLord the Random Crashes at specific dates bugs are caused by something in OWB itself, it's a vanilla issue
FiashmanLord Oct 2 @ 2:26am 
I dont know about the reporting thing but i will uninstall this and see if i crash after 2278 july 28th since im also crashing at this moment
theman1438 Sep 13 @ 10:47am 
ty for posting that Zam you life saver
Zam138  [author] Sep 9 @ 10:04pm 
ATTENTION:
As the question has come up multiple times, if you have downloaded Unit Model Overhaul Redux you MUST download the compatibility patch for it or else the Power Armor changes of UTCM will be entirely overwritten. The Patch contains all of the changes UMOR has made as well as UTCM’s changes.
Flat Earth Gamer Sep 9 @ 8:28pm 
was power armor modification removed
Abyssal Lord Aug 21 @ 6:50am 
@Zam138 Apologies for the spam - I was fairly tipsy at the time of the crash, and thus got a bit upset. I don't really know how to determine the cause of the crash as I am not a modder, but I imagine you are absolutely correct, given the timing of the crash.
Zam138  [author] Aug 17 @ 1:46pm 
@Abyssal Lord please don't spam, Date-specific crashes are typically the result of a nation doing something through a focus or decision that the game doesn't like, and is almost assuredly something other than a tech mod, but if you have more specifics or have narrowed it down to this mod (or TEME) you can make a bug report and put it in the bug report forum.
Abyssal Lord Aug 17 @ 9:48am 
Anyone else getting a hard crash at 12:00 on the 17 July 2278? Would appreciate any debug or other hints to describe where the error may be. Thanks!
Zam138  [author] Aug 12 @ 3:27am 
@SINAV either you don't have No Step Back installed correctly or something has gone wrong with your UTCM/PAR installation, as in testing the reliability increases in the production screen on a save with just UTCM and the required mods. Regardless, please put your modlist in the Bug Reports discussion segment if the issue persists.

@kishlak I'm not sure why you can't either, I tested it and the lend lease works perfectly fine with the modified equipment
