hoi4treesnap generates Hearts of Iron IV focus tree screenshots

hoi4treesnap generates Hearts of Iron IV focus tree screenshots.

The tool itself does not contain any textures and picks them up from the HOI4 base game or a mod that contains selected focus trees. That includes all focus tree graphics: focus icons, focus tree plaques, focus tree lines and fonts. nationalfocusview.gui is being parsed to pick on your changes to it, so the output image looks quite similar to what you see in the game, even a modded one.

How to use:

1. Download and run the latest version of .exe file from https://github.com/malashin/hoi4treesnap/releases (Windows 64-bit).
2. Select focus tree file from /common/national_focus.
3. Select Hearts of Iron IV game folder. It will be saved for later use after the first time.
4. If you need other mods, dependencies for example, select those.
5. If you want to use non-english localisation press Select localisation language.
6. Press Generate image. Output will be saved next to the hoi4treesnap binary.

Possible issues:

• The file parser is stricter then PDX one, so you might need to fix those errors if they are reported.

Known issues:

• You can't generate single image for shared focus trees. You'll have to combine them from separate images.
• There is no country name in the image. Might be added later either through parsing of the files or just asking the user to input the name.
• If focus title uses scripted localization, it will be rendered as a scripted localization string instead of the appropriate name. Might ask user to enter appropriate titles if those are found later on.
