    StartMap = "Test.map"
    StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

This is how it should look.

It looks exactly like that! Still not working though.. Is it possible to link screenshots or pictures? I think what I need to see is how the amnesia folders should be laid out like.

Here it's. Though, I have map files in my maps folder, not another folder.

Ok, an update.. I set a dev environment, and when I start amnesia that way after following all instructions, it says FATAL ERROR: Could not load world file : 'blah blah'

This is from the HPL file in my documents:
User Initialization
--------------------------------------------------------
Setting profile: 'dev_user' Path: 'C:\Users\Ge15t\Documents/Amnesia/Main/dev_user/'
ERROR: Script file karl/ourflat.hps does not exist!
ERROR: World 'karl/ourflat.map' doesn't exist
FATAL ERROR: Could not load world file 'karl/ourflat.map'

Does not exist? Im pretty sure it does. Both of them do. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Didn't you see my folder?
You are supposed to put those files into your own custom_story folder. I can't get it, how you managed to screw this up?

A simple custom story folder should be like this:
- files
> folders

> redist
.> custom_stories
..> Your_Custom_Story
..- custom_story_settings.cfg
..- extra_english.lang.
..> maps
...- Your_Map_File.map
...- Your_Map_File.hps

And this is the custom_story_settings.cfg:

Code: (Select All)

<Main
    Name = "Your_Custom_Story_Name"
    Author = "Your_Name"
    ImgFile = ""
    MapsFolder = "maps/"
    StartMap = "Your_Map_File.map"
    StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

Ok I didnt see your post above mine.. but thanks anyway. No need for the attitude though

The error is that you dont have MapsFolder = "maps/ch01/" the bolded folder, make it look like MapsFolder = "maps/" instead....

EDIT: I didn't see the picture you posted, but now i did. You have written the folder tree right but from the looks of that img you have placed the files in your main folder...they should be in the custom stories/yourcustomstory folder.
