0.4.0

Updates to a game usually mean a fair bit of work to update the converter. Two games updating at nearly the same time? Turned out to be not so bad. There's some other small fixes, but this release is mostly for game update compatibility. Work on the stories system continues in the background.

0.3.0

An update to Vic3 meant just enough of a change to the converter to justify a release. Especially since contributors have added some significant missing features since the last one and I put in one myself. You'll now see convoys, navies, and converted wars in your megacampaigns.

Full Changelog: 0.2.0...0.3.0

0.2.0 - Blamey

Welcome to another release of the converter! At this point, most of the basics in the world are in place. Many country internals are now in place, and there's been some attempts at balancing. Focus trees, decisions, and events are still limited to generic ones, so the world is still static without some effort to add your own trees. Thus this is still most suited for people who already heavily customize their conversions (still looking at you, Something Awful crowd) or multiplayer megacampaigns where you collectively make something happen

All changes are pushed to the converter immediately, so make sure to update the converter every time you run it!

We do log a lot of balance-related information, so it would be helpful if you shared log.txt from the converter directory even for conversions that succeed. That'll help us determine the correct balance. As well, we know there's a bunch of weird map stuff. If you find more, please report them here.

As well, I've created a mod that tweaks some of the significant provinces to make VP locations and railroads come out better: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3040854878

For the next bit, we'll be working on ways to make the world more active and customizable. Hoi4 modders, this will be your time to shine, we'll need your help to make this great. More on this topic is a future post.

0.1.0

Welcome to the inaugural release of Vic3 to HoI4! It's very basic for now as you'll quick notice, most suited for people who already heavily customize their conversions (looking at you, Something Awful crowd) or multiplayer megacampaigns where you collectively make something happen. The focus has been on converting territory, some initial industry, manpower, and resources. Country internals like politics or focus trees are completely generic still. Everything that is converted is pretty out of balance too. Still, this should be enough to get things going, and you'll see continual improvements, so make sure to update the converter every time you run it!

We do log a lot of balance-related information, so it would be helpful if you shared log.txt from the converter directory even for conversions that succeed. That'll help us determine the correct balance. As well, we know there's a bunch of weird map stuff. If you find more, please report them here.
