After long last, the release supporting HoI 1.5 is out!

In addition to 1.5 support, I began incorporating a new parser for 'paradox script' throughout the converter. While that's mostly of interest to developers instead of users (I left most of that off the changelog), it does mean your saves should be read faster. On my machine it went from ~45 seconds to ~6 seconds.

I also spent considerable time making sure that if not all ideologies are converted, the necessary change are made throughout the resulting mod.

There are many other changes: an improved bookmark file, the naval invasion crash bug is fixed, there's the beginning of localisations for more languages, some graphical improvements, and more. All in all, this update should significantly improve your conversion experience.

How you can help

First, we can use more portraits. It would help a great deal if you could create new portraits and update cultureGroupToGraphics.txt to point at them correctly. As the name implies, culture groups are mapped to sets of portraits (also, ideologies). I'd like to stick with HoI4's existing art style if possible. However, if you add a truly large number of portraits, I'll not object to you changing the overall style. Bears and Equine portraits are an exception. Feel free to not match the existing style with them, as they're already just in there for fun.

We can use help with female names, callsigns, and company names. Some might be able to be pulled from HoI4. They go in names.txt. Create a debug mod to get a list of missing ones.

We can use help with translations. We have a bunch more localisations in, but they're either translated with google translate or semi-educated edits of default localisations. Either way, they probably need review.

Province mappings are pretty good now, but please double-check and fix anything you notice may be off.

If you know C++ or would like to learn, we can always use more people programming. I’m focused on country internals right now, but you could work on whatever part strikes your fancy, or I could give specific direction. Either way, that’s the biggest aspect of working on the converter. If you're learning, this is a good project to improve your skills. If you know a lot, I would love to have your feedback so I can improve my skills.

If you can test, that would be helpful. Catching bugs and oddities earlier means they get fixed earlier. I try to release test versions of the converter on the forum for testing, so running those and looking things over is helpful. With CI now running, I could probably even set up test builds to be automatic. And if you have professional experience in testing, well, I'm sure we could be doing things far better. Tell me how!

We can always use help figuring out how things work, and how we can do them better. If you know how to mod HoI4, we can use your help figuring it out. As well, there's always more room for flavor events, decisions, and the like.

We can always handle more discussion on how things are converted over on the development thread. As well, I try to document implemented items over on the project wiki. And your encouragement helps more than you know.
