How do I get my custom story to show up? - A12 - 10-07-2010 Hello. I'm newer to Amnesia and decided to look into the custom level system. The problem is, nomatter what I do, I can't get my level to show up. I got Amnesia: The Dark Descent from Steam, and have a custom folder in the custom stories one, inside said folder is another subfolder, maps, in which is the .map file of my custom map and a .hps of the same name with void OnStart() { } void OnEnter() { } void OnLeave() { } Inside. I'm not sure if that is correct, I just got it from another thread I read, perhaps I made a mistake on that? But even besides that, outside of the maps subfolder I have custom_story_settings.cfg, of which has this inside. <Main Name="Testmap" Author="A12" StartMap=Newest map!.map StartPos="PlayerstartArea_1 /> Is there anything else I should be doing? Or did I just mess up one of these steps like a complete idiot who will be mocked by all? I wonder...

Do you have an extraenglish.lang? EDIT: And to the person below me, i didnt notice that. Good call - Both of these are probably the cause RE: How do I get my custom story to show up? - Frontcannon - 10-07-2010 (10-07-2010, 05:38 PM)A12 Wrote: <Main This file is not valid, not at all. StartMap and StarPos both need quotationmarks, the MapsFolder is completely missing. This is what it should look like: <Main Name="Testmap" Author="A12" ImgFile="" MapsFolder="maps/" StartMap="Newest map!.map" StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1" /> I don't know about the ! in your map name, it could cause problems, too.

However, I fixed it to be just like that one and it still doesn't work. In response to Chilton,I have a folder called Extra_English.lang, because I heard it was required for it to show up, but it's empty. Perhaps that is why I cannot get my custom story to work? EDIT: I downloaded another custom story and noticed something. My extra-english.lang, while having the .lang, is officially catagorized as a .txt. So is my custom story settings. Excuse me if I suck with computer features, but, um, how do I go about making them actually a .lang and a .cfg?
