Convert it to a .jpg file; and if that doesn't work the only thing I might suggest doing is renaming the file to story.jpg. That seems to work for me.

hey,

i did both but now it shows the startscreen from 'the old well' xDD i really cant imagine why i also deleted the old well folder

name it something that no one else has most likely used, like story125091qwr51q53e.jpg

didnt work too :/
i tried that with png and jpg file. but now the screen is blank.
do i have to do something special with that image?

Silly question, did you back out to the main menu and click custom stories? It needs to refresh when you make a change. Did you change the name of the file and the text in the .cfg as well?

i restartet amnesia completely every time ^^
and yes i changed the cfg too. i tried 4 different names on png and jpg. then i restarted :/ its kind of sad cause i spent some time on photoshop for this :/

Just a question, is that everything in your .cfg file?

of course not^^

PHP Code:

<main 
    ImgFile = "startbild12345.png" 
    Name = "The unnamed Story (yet)" 
    Author = "Quotentote"

    MapsFolder = "maps/"
    StartMap = "test1.map"
    StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/> 


Did you just change the file to .jpg or did you save it as a jpeg file?
