My customstory settings are in my Livingnightmare Directory same goes for extra english lang

I hope thats correct. If it isnt can you guys help me if i need to change anything

< Main

Name = "LivingNightmare"
Author = "Electrofuze"
Imgfile = "Amnesia-Shambles"
Mapsfolder = "Maps/Ch01/"
Startmap = "00_TheHowling.map
Startpos = "PlayerStartArea_2"
/>
I dun goof'd and didn't do this right when I rearranged it.
It should be
< Main

Name = "LivingNightmare"
Author = "Electrofuze"
ImgFile = "Amnesia-Shambles"
MapsFolder = "Maps/Ch01/"
StartMap = "00_TheHowling.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_2"
/>
Difference being the second word is capitalized and there is an end quotation mark after 00_TheHowling.map

K i fixed it but still same problem is the problem within my scripting or maybe my gamefile itself doesnt want any customstorys?

Make sure the map name matches exactly again.. I'm not sure how you arranged it.

It sounds like you need to fix up your "custom_story_settings.cfg' (make sure it is typed JUST LIKE THAT. and that it is NOT in your map folder. It should be in the main folder you probably listed as the campaign folder. The image file and "extra_english.lang" should ALSO be in the MAIN FOLDER.

If that doesn't fix it, try copy and pasting this (exactly) into your custom_story_settings.cfg (also, check your capitalizations and if the image is a jpg, png, etc. everything has to be exact):

<Main
ImgFile = "Amnesia-Shambles.jpg"
Name = "Living Nightmare"
Author = "Electrofuze"

MapsFolder = "Maps/Ch01/"
StartMap = "00_TheHowling.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_2"
/>

Note, also make sure your StartPos is correct. I noticed it has a "2" at the end. What happened to the first one? lol... (This is my .cfg layout and it works so it SHOULD work for you.)

***Hope this helps
