This belongs in the development sub-forum.

Try getting rid of resources.

You have a couple dangling categories (the ones without names).

for example:

<CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">


and

<CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="DeathHint">

I'm having a similar problem. I can't seem to show a message from my lang file. I followed Statyk's suggestion and added the "<CATEGORY>" tags, but that didn't seem to fix my problem.

nooo, I'm telling you to take them OUT. =P
