@milipitek, definitly, just a bit busy currently IRL, might have to wait till November.
HoneyBadger4267 16 Sep, 2023 @ 9:25pm 
It crashes whenever I load this mod.
Bunkurs 23 Mar, 2023 @ 1:38pm 
could you make a mod that just adds the releaseable nations and the thing you did with zimbabwe
SchGang 20 Mar, 2023 @ 10:55am 
its jusut i do the king path for sud west africa becpuse it gives me resorces i pick the path that gives me the must resorces
Kolibri8  [author] 20 Mar, 2023 @ 9:36am 
@SchGang: Probably not. The Exile path is meant to be dependent on the goodwill of the allies and expanding into a british colony, doesn't fit that premise. Concerning the ressources, I tried to keep the ressources to a realistic frame, based on what is actually available in Namibia IRL. That being said, one could probably add some more allied investments to the exile path, perhaps as decisions. I could add that to my TO-DO-list.
SchGang 11 Mar, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
hey is the exile path gonna get more content like expanding into south africa or getting more resorse

For anyone still having issues unsub from the mod wait until the mod is completely uninstalled (you can tell by looking at your downloads 0 of 1 Items Completed means the mod is still being uninstalled. 1 of 1 Items Completed means it's done uninstalling.) and then reinstall the mod.
TheBurritoBadger 8 Jan, 2023 @ 3:43am 
It's working again! :D thanks both of you <3
Kolibri8  [author] 8 Jan, 2023 @ 2:26am 
So, did that. If you other guys would please test, if that solved your problems, that'd be great.
Kolibri8  [author] 8 Jan, 2023 @ 2:21am 
@GustavZJ That could be. I edited that to test wether I could reuse the EUIV Camel model, back before Paradox added Camelry to HOI4. That means I don't need that anymore. I'll remove it and update the mod. Still weird though, that it didn't cause any problems for me.
GustavZJ 7 Jan, 2023 @ 7:10am 
The problem with the buildings is because the pdxmesh.shader file in gfx/fx is outdated, you need to replace it with the new one from the game and the bulding textures work again.
TheBurritoBadger 4 Jan, 2023 @ 12:58pm 
hi! thanks for your answers and suggestions! i tried everything you recommended, and even tried to disable all dlc's but waking the tiger and man the guns. still didn't work, not even after reinstalling the game :( but this is complaining on high levels, it's still playable :) thanks for your work and time, love the concept this mod, keep up the good work :D

Part II
What you could also do, is to take a look at the mod files, themself. Go to your steam folder and open steamapps/workshop/content/394360/2017394128/gfx/entities. There should be 5 files:
german_colonies_artillery.asset; german_colonies_vehicle.asset; NMB_camelry.asset; NMB_units_infantry.asset and schutztruppe.gfx open each of them with a text editor, if the text is legible, I'd assume the file is in order. If it is a random jumble of letters, or if the file is empty, delete the file and verify the game files, that should download it again.

Part I
@TheBurritoBadger it works without problem for me. That's why I'm confused that it doesn't work with you guys. The mod doesn't do anything that should have these effects. It doesn't overwrite the vanilla sprites, It doesn't change the UI. It doesn't make sense that you have those problems.

I checked the downloaded version, to see if there is some corruption in the up- or download. But there is no error either, at least when I download it.

The only one of your bugs that I can recreate is the invisible mod sprites, by deactivating the Man the Guns DLC. But the vanilla sprites are still visible, then.

So all I can tell you guys is, the problem must be at your end. Check, if you have MtG, and that it's active, when starting the game. If the problem persists, verify the game files, that should check for mod files as well.
TheBurritoBadger 3 Jan, 2023 @ 12:42pm 
hi! really like the mod, this is something different :) although i seem to have the same problem like skull and tanja. seems like all the sprites are missing, also cities. does it work for you @Kolibri8?
Skull One (Shrout) 20 Dec, 2022 @ 10:33pm 
Update: all infantry sprites are missing for all nations, did not check to see if non infantry sprites were missing, but cav and camels were effected. 3d sprites are enabled in the game.
just to be sure it was this mod I turned off all mods and checked again and things were normal with visible sprites.
Skull One (Shrout) 20 Dec, 2022 @ 10:25pm 
sprites missing units are invisible. not sure why running only this mod
Kolibri8  [author] 18 Dec, 2022 @ 3:02am 
@tanja.laukemper did you have the man the guns DLC active? You need that for the troops.

@Prawlings.Ok, check if the game works normal with only the music mod. If that is fine, it seems that the files of my mod were somehow corrupted, either with the upload or the download.To check that delete the modfolder and verify the game files, so that Steam downloads the mod again.
lunarchy 17 Dec, 2022 @ 11:32am 
@Kolibri8 I only had this mod + a music mod active. All other mods and vanilla are normal.
German Abrissbirne 17 Dec, 2022 @ 10:20am 
I can not see, the troops from Southwestafrica
Kolibri8  [author] 17 Dec, 2022 @ 6:09am 
@prawlings, huh that's weird. I didn't change any of these and they appear normal in my version. Are you sure you only had this mod active? Does it look normal in vanilla and other mods?
lunarchy 15 Dec, 2022 @ 8:23am 
I'm very happy to see this mod updated! However, there are some graphical bugs with the mod. The top and bottom of the map that normally has the hoi4 logo are now pure white, and the models for airfields and cities are bugged as well.
German Abrissbirne 27 Nov, 2022 @ 3:01am 
Please update the Mod
Kolibri8  [author] 7 Oct, 2022 @ 9:23am 
@WarmongerPhoenix I'm already working on it, I've however encountered a CTD while testing, for which I havn't figuered out the cause yet, so I can't say when it will be done. But, again I'm working on it ;).
WarmongerPhoenix 5 Oct, 2022 @ 12:52pm 
Update please
Kolibri8  [author] 26 Jun, 2022 @ 11:17am 
@Vrystaat Boer: I didn't add any models, I assume you mean the skins/textures? Anyway I would make that dependant on what kind of mod that is, and on which skins exactly you intend to use.
Vrystaat Boer 9 Jun, 2022 @ 12:12pm 
Good day to you!! I want to ask if im allowed to use your amazing German Namibian soldier models in my mod?
Kennywnorth 28 Apr, 2022 @ 8:15pm 
what about a road to 56 patch
Kolibri8  [author] 23 Apr, 2022 @ 10:28am 
@Kennywnorth: This mod already includes changes to the map (new Provinces and new States), it's not possible to make this mod compatible with other mods that change the map without removing features of the mod.
Kennywnorth 22 Apr, 2022 @ 11:51am 
could you patch it to work with mods that change the map? it crashes loading the game with other mods
Kolibri8  [author] 18 Mar, 2022 @ 6:29am 
@Captain403, regarding the Chiefs of Staff. I was already hard pressed to find historical officers that are realistic to be in South West Africa. Everyone currently included is someone I could find a name and a picture of, who had served in SWA during or shortly before WW1 and was still alive in 1936. Since I've already assigned the higher ups to other roles. and since with 1.11 the player can assign any military leader as Chief of Staff, I elected not to add any, but I guess I could move von Heydebreckt to Chief of Army. For Chief of Navy or Airforce however there is just no one.
captain403 18 Mar, 2022 @ 4:04am 
Also, no chief of staffs for the military branches.
captain403 18 Mar, 2022 @ 4:03am 
Perhaps some supply depots at the railheads?
Vrystaat Boer 17 Mar, 2022 @ 11:13pm 
YES BASED
Kolibri8  [author] 17 Mar, 2022 @ 12:36pm 
Update is out
ascampbell05 9 Mar, 2022 @ 10:37am 
Update to 1.11.8
Vrystaat Boer 26 Feb, 2022 @ 3:13am 
Cant wait for this to be update man!
Kolibri8  [author] 19 Feb, 2022 @ 11:40am 
Just a heads up. An uptade for NSB is coming. I'm currently working on implementing a fascist branch and adding some more flair to existing branches. I'll publish that all in one update. That's the reason there wasn't an update yet.
SchGang 6 Oct, 2021 @ 10:04am 
its sad i think the goverment in exile are really great ideas its juust you lose out on all the good exspansion and development stuff could yyou add a larger path maybe like in kaiserriech or something wre you gasin a new political tree if you go exile were its my ¨land and build up you landds and then retake the faterland like the neterlands can?
Kolibri8  [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 3:32am 
Finally got around to set up a Kofi. If you appreciate my work and want to support me, you may now buy me a Coffee [ko-fi.com].
Vrystaat Boer 11 Dec, 2020 @ 3:52am 
Hey my good man! Sorry to bother! Ive been playing and thinking, how about adding walvis bay foreign claims as south west africa
Vrystaat Boer 30 Oct, 2020 @ 1:30am 
Amazing to hear! Amazing tell me anytime when you have a link! I love that you can set free all of the boer republics, i always do it and puppet them, so that i can have all the boere together. I always play with this mod, nothing else. @Kolibri8
Kolibri8  [author] 19 Oct, 2020 @ 8:27am 
@Vrystaat Boer I don't have a donation link (yet), I might set one up, I just have to clear some things up before I do so.
Regarding Middle Africa, could be done, I'll put that on my to do list.
Vrystaat Boer 16 Oct, 2020 @ 3:46am 
@Kolibri8 sorry to bother, but i had genius idee. When Suid wes afrika, you when you take over middel africa you can change the country into mittel afrika
Vrystaat Boer 15 Oct, 2020 @ 9:50am 
You are the best i wish to donate! If you have a donation link.
Kolibri8  [author] 15 Oct, 2020 @ 9:37am 
Update for 1.10 is out. I hope I've got everything, if you encounter a bug nonetheless, please tell me.
