Getting notes to work

Ok, I am having serious problems here and I don't know why. I have followed the instructions on this page: http://hpl2.frictionalgames.com/tutorial...omakenotes? and for some reason the text of my note is still not showing up. When I open the note, it shows the note background but it is blank. Here is my language file:
<LANGUAGE>


<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
    <Entry Name="Description">I have woken up in a strange bed... What happened?  Where am I?</Entry>
</CATEGORY>


<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
    <Entry Name="Note_Test01_Name">Test Note</Entry>
    <Entry Name="Note_Test01_Text">This note is a test.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>


</LANGUAGE>

But when I create a note with the NoteText "Note01" and I open it in game, it does not display this text, just the empty note background.
Sad What am I doing wrong?

RE: Getting notes to work

Did you follow everything?

Select it, and from the entity tab go down to the NoteText entry. This is where you specify what journal entry you want to use, Test01 in this case. Save your map and load it in game to see the results.

Wasn't it Note_Test01 instead of Test01

RE: Getting notes to work

The .lang files don't work in developer mode, you have to put them in your custom story folder and start the game normally, then select the custom story and play.

RE: Getting notes to work

I tested it by using the instructions here: http://hpl2.frictionalgames.com/amnesia:devenvguide
In other words I had it set up so all my files were in the maps folder instead of the Custom_stories folder, and I had it set up to load the map automatically instead of going through the game's interface.
