Where to save custom maps.

[Mr. X]

Should i save my custom maps in the maps folder or custom_stories folder?

Custom maps.

Make a subfolder called "Maps" and put it in there, I also made a sub-sub folder in the subfolder Maps called ch01, to make it a lil easier.

k thanks

EDIT: Hmm still doesnt work... I noticed that Amnesias default maps have different files too called .hps and .map cache.

So do i need to compile my maps before saving or something? And if so, how? Cause when i save it just creates a .map file and it won't show up in the Custom Stories menu option.

My mind has gone completely blank here

Advice anyone?

I've gone through the same stuff as you, being completely obsessed with getting it to work.

So here's what I've done :

Custom stories > Subfolder maps > subfolder ch01, and I named my room :

00_creepy_room

then in the custom_story_settings i put in this

<Main
Name= "Here you'll put the name the map will be named when you open custom stories on Amnesia"
Author= "Also put here whatever you wish."
ImgFile= ""

MapsFolder = "maps/ch01/"
StartMap= "00_creepy_room.map"
StartPos= "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

The editor creates the cache file and .hps files contain the scripting for events etc.

If you want to create a custom story follow the instructions here

If you you just want to be able to access your maps from the game follow the guide here on setting up a development environment. You can then load right into a map or select it through the debug menu.
