.hps Not activating!!

[ObsidianLegion]

Arggh! This is typical. The day I try to release a demo. Crap happens!!

So, long story short, I try to make .hps files for my maps and they don't work! What I do is, make a .txt file then turn it into a .hps and write in it with notepad ++ and it fails to even try to work. None of the scripting works. Or even if it's wrong it won't pop up with error messages.

Do I need to link the .hps with the map? Or is everything just playing up something chronic -.-

Also, this .lang file doesn't work.

Spoiler below!

(The .lang above is in spoiler for those who don't want to spoil the games thrill by reading what the notes are going to say etc.)
It's like I'm running in circles with it -.-

[Tanshaydar]

.hps and .map files should have same name, like
example.hps
example.map

[ObsidianLegion]

.hps and .map files should have same name, like
example.hps
example.map

Like if my map is called Cellar.map then it should be Cellar.hps?

Yup, that checks out.

[Tanshaydar]

Like if my map is called Cellar.map then it should be Cellar.hps?

Exactly.

[ObsidianLegion]

Like if my map is called Cellar.map then it should be Cellar.hps?

Exactly.

I've done that :/

[JoeBradleyUK]

There's an error in the .lang on the category ending, you put a <CATEGORY Name- "Ending"> I think it should be <CATEGORY Name= "Ending">

[Tanshaydar]

I've done that :/

Make sure Windows doesn't make it like Cellar.hps.txt and if it doesn't, please send your .hps file.

[ObsidianLegion]

I've done that :/

Make sure Windows doesn't make it like Cellar.hps.txt and if it doesn't, please send your .hps file.

It doesn't. Send you the file my email, pm, or code it on this?

There's an error on the category ending, you put a - instead of =

Thanks, man. I'm not very perceptive xD I hate these files. one little mistake, it all goes wrong and it doesn't show you whats wrong with it -.-

[Tanshaydar]

Copy and paste them here.

[ObsidianLegion]

Copy and paste them here.

Well, there are two of them -.-

Cellar

Code: (Select All)

////////////////////////////
//Run when entering map
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallBack("Player", "deathroominsanity", "CollideInsanity", true, 1);
}

void CollideInsanity(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
GiveSanityDamage(20, true);
}

////////////////////////////
//Run when entering map
void OnEnter()

{
SetPlayerLampOil(20);
SetPlayerSanity(50);
}

////////////////////////////
//Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()

{
SetupLoadScreen("LoadingText", "CastleBase", 1, "");
}

And there's my ending to the demo here:

Code: (Select All)

////////////////////////
//Run when entering map
void OnStart()
{
}

////////////////////////////
//Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}

////////////////////////////
//Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

StartCredits("29_amb_loop.snt", true, "Ending", "MainCredits", 1);

}

Thanks for the support by the way (:
