Custom objects no longer appearing

Starting today, I opened my custom story's maps in LevelEditor and have been getting the same error message in every single one:

"Found some errors while loading file. Check log for details. File index out of bounds!"

And NONE of my custom entities, static objects, particles, etc are appearing in the map. Some of them have reverted back to the main game entities they were before I changed the link direction.

When I exit without saving and go into the game itself, they all appear properly. I have double checked all the links in Notepad and they are directed to the proper files. I'm scared to do any work and save any of my maps for fear of losing all of my months of work.

Has anyone else ever had this problem and know what is going on? I'm willing to send you my full custom story if I need to.

RE: Custom objects no longer appearing

Have you added a directory leading to your custom story to the root resources.cfg?

For example, I added to the top of my resources list:

<Directory Path="/custom_stories" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/Nearsight" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/Oh_Silent_Night" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/Horizon" AddSubDirs="true" />

WHEW THANK YOU

That's odd though. Cause I did that when I first set up my level editor, and I haven't touched it since then. Yet, the directory somehow got removed sometime between yesterday and today. Maybe there's an automatic update that replaced my file and I never noticed?

RE: Custom objects no longer appearing

Perhaps you may have accidentally overwritten the resource file when fiddling with other mods, or something?

when actually checking my resources.cfg, mine got reset as well... I guess it was a global thing..


FIX ALL THE DIRECTORIES!

RE: Custom objects no longer appearing

My Steam library shows a really minor update to Amnesia, which has caused my resources.cfg to reset.
