Paradox Patcher

A Python patcher for Paradox games, like HOI4 that gives you developer access to commands and more!

Made by rxzyx (rzx). This is purley for education purposes.

  • 📫 Have a problem? Just write an issue and I will do my best to respond.

Features:

HOI4

  • Add developer access to commands in the console
    • This means that you can use commands like normals, aircombat and more!

EU4

  • Add developer access to commands in the console
    • This means that you can use commands like debug_smooth
  • Allow console access in Ironman mode and multiplayer

I am not responsible for your actions with this. Please rememeber to use these fairly.

How To Use (Python):

  • Firstly, remember to backup the original file you intend to patch.
  • For how to retrieve the .app file, look up a tutorial or simply open Steam, navigate to the supported app of choice, click the Settings icon, then Manage and finally Browse local files

MacOS

Method 1

  • To patch a Mach-O file (which can be found in hoi4.app/Contents/MacOS/hoi4 or eu4.app/Contents/MacOS/eu4), copy it into another directory, and you can then either pass the file path as an argument, like:
    • python3 main.py path/to/macho
  • or input it when running the script. You can then replace the original Mach-O file with the patched one.

Method 2

  • Additionally, you can patch the whole .app file (same functionality as giving the Mach-O file path in the .app), but this requires root access, which can be done via:

    • sudo python3 main.py path/to/game.app
  • The original .app file can now be replaced with the patched one this way.

  • I would really appreciate some pull requests—whether for style, logic, efficiency, or features. Anything would be helpful!

Windows

.exe files

  • .exe is not yet supported for EU4, however, it is as of now supported for HOI4.
  • Simply use the script as normal but input a .exe as the path, this will be patched and you can replace the original file with it.
  • However, it hasn't actually been tested properly, so feedback will be appreciated!

🤖 Features with Problems:

  • Patching the hoi4.exe file has not been tested. Feedback will be appreciated, you can submit an error in the "Issues" section. Make sure to backup the original file.
