Trying to do my first custom story - DaBrain75 - 07-08-2012
As the title says, I'm trying to do my first custom story. However, I've already hit a wall. I can't seem to get the thing to show up. I'm sure the problems come up before, but a simple search couldn't find it. I've checked everything, and can't seem to find my problem.
This is my custom_story_settings.cfg
Name="test"
Author="Luis Rodero"
ImgFile=""
MapsFolder="maps/"
StartMap="test.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea"
/>
and this is my extra_english.lang
Just a test
I'm currently combing for mistakes, and I probably did do something dumb. Thanks in advance.
RE: Trying to do my first custom story - EXAWOLT - 07-08-2012
extra_english_lang.lang should look like this:
<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">A map made by Exawolt.[br][br]thanx for playing.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>
if you dont yet have, you should make a .map file with a .hps textnote with the same name (basics)
and the hps will be like this at first:
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}
(it doesn´t have to look like this)

I'll make the corrections to the language file, but I didn't quite understand the second part of what you said.
RE: Trying to do my first custom story - EXAWOLT - 07-08-2012
all thats needed for a custom story: a map for it all, the settings.cfg, the language.lang , a .map file with a .hps file.
if you dont have these, it will not work

Though, as stated in your OP, are you sure the StartPos isn't "PlayerStartArea_1"? Forgetting the "_1" could screw it up for you.
RE: Trying to do my first custom story - DaBrain75 - 07-08-2012
I just changed it to "_1" to test it. It still didn't show up.
RE: Trying to do my first custom story - Statyk - 07-08-2012
Do you have this in here:
<Main
Name="test"
Author="Luis Rodero"
ImgFile=""
MapsFolder="maps/"
StartMap="test.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea"
/>
RE: Trying to do my first custom story - DaBrain75 - 07-08-2012
Just checked. Yes I have the main. Sorry, guess I didn't copy it right.

Author="Luis Rodero" are you trolling or something?? XD
