Are you custom props located somewhere inside your redist folder (in static objects or entities)?

The Props Are In The Custom Storys folder in where my cs is in a folder called entities

Its Not The Map_Caches its the editor forgets where the custom props are Undecided should i just make a folder in the main amnesia redist for now

Happens to me when I use a custom gobo for spotlights. It's just a bit of a nuisance.

Use gamefront. No pop-ups. :D

This is happening because your editor only pulls files from the redist entities/static_objects.
If you're using them straight from the custom_stories folder, they won't show up in the editor when you load. Just make you own folder in entites (Like, CustomEntities or something), and it'll successfully load the models in your editor.

Or just add the line
<Directory Path="/custom_stories" AddSubDirs="true" />
to your resources.cfg file.

That works too. ^^

I think it's easier to put it in a Custom folder in the entities, or static objects. And in your Custom Story folder. So you don't need to edit any files.
