Have you checked the resource.cfg file (next to amnesia.exe) and made sure that custom_stories is listed as a directory with resources?

Also what program did you use to convert the .ogg file? you can't just rename the type of the file. Because i shouldn't look like that. It should be greenish. If you havn't and need too i'd recommend sony vegas. Otherwise the script looks fine.

might be i'm unsure.

Then make sure the .snt files specifies the correct .ogg file to play and finally make sure that the collision callback wolves actually triggers, best is to add a debug message to it so that you can see if it triggers.
