RE: Lang File not working?

Well youre using the // operation incorrectly. There are different ways of commenting out a line of script from your files and youre using // as if its functioning as a /* */.

To have you understand what the code needs in order for you to comment out things properly, I'll provide an example where you've been using it incorrectly:


//<Entry Name="ItemName_DoorKey">A Key</Entry>//

^^^^^^
The first // operation will comment out the entire row regardless of whats infront of it, so the second // operation therefore will not do anything and is useless.

/*<Entry Name="ItemName_DoorKey">A Key</Entry>*/

^^^^^^
This operation allows you to specifically comment out a certain section in one line, instead of commenting out the entire line. How you want to approach commenting out things is subjective but if you wish to use // for it, you only have to make it look like this:

//<Entry Name="ItemName_DoorKey">A Key</Entry>

As for your code, I'm not sure if you chose not to include it or not but have you actually used <LANGUAGE> and </LANGUAGE> to close off the entire code? If not, be sure to surround the whole language file with those two lines of code, which will give you an end result like the following:

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
    <Entry Name="Description">Inside of this custom story, you play as a young scientist whose laboratorium got overrun by nightmares from his past. You have to stop them![br][br]The only way you could think of doing so is by creating a "potion of Life", a side result from an experiment you had. It's known that that potion would make any sins and nightmares go away, even the ones haunting you. However, you were late. The monsters bashed you in your head and you were unconscious for multiple hours. It's now or never, time to act!</Entry>
    </CATEGORY>
    <CATEGORY Name="Journal">

        //---Notes---//
        <Entry Name="Note_note1_1_Name">I salute you...</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Note_note1_1_Text">Robert Smith is the name, right?[br][br]I'm one of the nightmares that entered your house. However, do not fear, as I will not attack you. I have been already avenged by other people, but by spirit rules, I need to haunt 1 more house before I'm truly free.[br][br]I know that there are other spirits, and I can't fight aganst them, but I can help you beat them. Just follow my advice and ignore anything you see as good as you can and you'll be good to go.[br][br]-Your only friend</Entry>
//---Diaries---//
        //<Entry Name="Diary_DearDiary_Name1">End of the World</Entry>//
        //<Entry Name="Diary_DearDiary_Text1">21 December, 2012[br][br]The ground is literally shaking beneath my feet.</Entry>//

        //---Mementos---//
        //<Entry Name="Quest_MyMemento_Text">Perhaps I should go the other way.</Entry>//
    </CATEGORY>
    <CATEGORY Name="Inventory">

        //---Item Names/Descriptions---//
        //<Entry Name="ItemName_DoorKey">A Key</Entry>//
        //<Entry Name="ItemDesc_DoorKey">It's for unlocking a door.</Entry>//
    </CATEGORY>
    <CATEGORY Name="Sign">

        //---Signs---//
        //<Entry Name="SignStudy">Study Room</Entry>//
    </CATEGORY>
    <CATEGORY Name="Levels">

        //---Levels---//
        //<Entry Name="LevelHall">Main Hall</Entry>//
    </CATEGORY>
    <CATEGORY Name="DeathHint">

        //---Death Hints---//
        //<Entry Name="DHint1">You have to carry on...</Entry>//
    </CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

Other than that, I cannot find anything wrong.
