I'm testing in dev mode, so I don't get a chance to see the other messages. My extra_english.lang is in my custom_stories/Test directory, if that makes a difference.

It needs to be in your Custom Story folder, not the custom_stories directory.
I.e. Redist/custom_stories/YourCustomStory <--

It is in there, sorry I didn't describe the location properly.

Your issues baffle me... O.e Have you figured it out yet?

Can you post your updated .lang file as well as your .hps file?

.hps:
Code:
void OnStart() {
    if (ScriptDebugOn()) {
        GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
        /*SetEntityActive("invisWall", false);
        SetEntityActive("blockArea", false);*/
    }
    SetPlayerActive(false);
    FadeIn(5);
    AddTimer("FadeTimer", 5, "StartGame");
    AddNote("First", "");
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "EnemyTriggerArea", "EnteredEnemyTriggerArea", true, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "BlockArea", "EnteredBlockArea", true, 1);
    SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_1", "OnPickup");
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "big_clock_chime.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0.0f, false);
    SetDeathHint("Death", "StairScare");
}

void OnEnter() {
}

void OnLeave() {
}

void StartGame(string &in asTimer) {
    SetPlayerActive(true);
}
    
void EnteredEnemyTriggerArea(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) {
    SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_5", 0, "");

        AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_5", 0, "");
        AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "");
        AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_31", 0, "");
    } else if (asChild == "DadRoomArea") {

        AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "");
        AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_31", 0, "");
    }
}

void EnteredBlockArea(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) {
    if (HasItem("key_1") == false) {
        SetMessage("PersonalMessages", "Barrier", 6);
    }
}

void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type) {
    SetEntityActive("invisWall", false);
    SetEntityActive("blockArea", false);
}

lang:
Code:
<LANGUAGE>
    <CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
        <Entry Name="Description">You are awoken by the chimes of a grandfather clock.</Entry>
    </CATEGORY>

    <CATEGORY Name="PersonalMessages">
        <Entry Name="Barrier">I should investigate my father's room before heading downstairs.</Entry>
    </CATEGORY>

    <CATEGORY Name="Death">
        <Entry Name="StairScare">Wardrobes make good hiding places.</Entry>
    </CATEGORY>
    
    <CATEGORY Name="Journal">
        <Entry Name="First">See what's up.</Entry>
    </CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

NOTE: The lang file is in my redist/custom_stories/Test folder, while the map I'm testing with, along with the .hps file is in redist/maps/Custom, so that may be the issue.

I'm pretty sure that you not having the .lang file in the directory of your Custom Story is the problem, move the .lang over to your Custom Story folder for now and see if it works.
