RE: Trying to do my first custom story

Actually JFM this is the example from the friction site. I didn't touch that line. And Exawolt, I can't even get the story to show up.

so I just tried making a folder called "maps" in the "test" folder, and saved my test.map there. That didn't work either. Just thought I'd add that in.

RE: Trying to do my first custom story

Okay. Thanks. I'll get on that.

The .maps don't show up in windows (OS just to clarify). Is that normal?

RE: Trying to do my first custom story

If you lack read (and write) permissions, it is possible for files not to be listed, or misplaced. Windows is one of the oddballs when it comes to these things. Then again, it is also possible to hide files via file properties.

RE: Trying to do my first custom story

Okay. Windows can now see the .map I saved. I may have saved it in the wrong place, but that didn't solve my problem. I've been able to modify everything for scripting so I don't think my permission are bad at all.

RE: Trying to do my first custom story

Do you have any files related to Amnesia in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore? If so, then it is a permissions issue.

RE: Trying to do my first custom story

In that folder was a whole nother set of my test story. So far all the coding in this set is screwed up.....

However, fixing the code there didn't do anything.

But there was files in that folder. So what does that mean.

It means you have Amnesia installed in Program Files and you lack permission to modify the content of those folders. This also means you're bound to have issues with consistency with your custom story.

You may want to "take ownership" of the folders, or attempt to disable the virtual store. Or take a longer route and put all your files somewhere that you have ownership of (e.g. My Documents) and then copy them over to Amnesia when you want to test it out. Running programs as administrator may also circumvent the issue.

RE: Trying to do my first custom story

Hmmm. I will try to remake everything on a desktop folder, and then copy and paste it over. That may work.

Okay. I have good news, and a noob question.
Good news. It worked. I made a folder on desktop, recreated all files from scratch, and ran level editor in admin mode. Whichever it was, it worked. So thank you computer. My computer? (kidding)

Noob question time. When you place a player spawn area. What should you line up with the floor. When I spawned the world was black....

I changed the spawn and it still did it... It's probably just a rookie mistake >.>

Do I have to do anything to light I've placed?

And it was a rookie mistake. The floor had been lit up, I just didn't look down. So, after this slight embarrassment, I'm going to go make a map.

Thanks for the help.
