Steam Workshop: \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\.Regular Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\.If debug is turned on via launch options, all benefits will be granted. Note that if you turn on the debug mode through the 'debug' console command, only the last 2 advantages will be available to use. Automatic saving on peace deals - The game automatically creates a savefile each time a peace conference occurs with debug.Ease of access to GUI files - When hovering over a GUI element, Ctrl+Alt+Right Click can be used to open a debug menu, which will allow going to the GUI file where the element is defined.Access to more console commands - Certain console commands are locked for developers only and debug mode allows the player to use them.Expanded province info - With debug mode turned on, there will be additional information when hovering over the province, including its and the state it's in's IDs, tags of owner and controller, et cetera.This can be useful to save time or to be able to open the nudge if the game crashes when you're trying to load into a country. Ease of nudge access - With debug mode turned on, an option to open the nudge will appear in the main menu.The log will also be able to get accessed by clicking on the error dog in the bottom-right corner after loading into a country, which appears each time a new error appears in the log (since files get automatically loaded-in). Ease of error log opening - As long as there are any errors in the log, the log will automatically open when loading the game.Enabling debug mode will ensure that all errors that can be logged in the error log will get logged. An example would be the map definition errors mentioned above, as the game crashes before getting a chance to log them. Extended error log - Certain errors do not get logged in the log unless the debug mode is turned on.If debug mode is on, the game will continue to load properly. Any map-related errors will crash the game when loading with a message saying 'Some errors are present in the map definition and have been logged to error.log'. No map definition crash - If the map is edited, there's a possibility for errors to appear.Note that, however, this only applies to files that were edited mid-session, not created. This will also automatically add the errors in the files to the error log.

Use a proper merge tool (like WinMerge), to merge between folders, and update modified vanilla files to a new vanilla patch.So choose a name, no one else will ever use, like the name of your mod. (Your files can have any name, all files in the folder will be loaded by the game. Minimize overwrites of vanilla files by adding separate files and loading from folders whenever possible, to improve mod compatibility and maintenance.Use a good text editor (like Notepad++, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code) to edit files and search into multiple files.Never modify game files: use a mod even for small changes, and never modify directly game files in Steam Hearts of Iron 4 folder, as your changes may be undone without warning.
