Patched — Hoi4 Focus Tree Maker
The biggest change was in arrow logic. Previously, focus trees used rigid X/Y coordinates. The new patch introduced more flexible relative_position_id and autocomplete triggers. The third-party Maker doesn't understand this new geometry, so arrows between focuses now point into the void.
Older focus trees used a simple icon identifier. The new patch allows dynamic 3D icons and changed how the GFX layer loads. The Focus Tree Maker likely exports old vanilla values, causing the game to crash or display pink question marks instead of national spirits. hoi4 focus tree maker patched
