Hey guys I'm just starting to use the mapping program for this game.

Now this may seem like a dumb question, but how would I go about testing my map?

Also, is there any specific folder to save it in? (i have it through steam if that matters)
You have to set up the custom story.
C>ProgramFiles>Steam>SteamApps>Common>AmnesiaTheDarkDescent>Custom_stories.
You can take a look at the wiki to figure out how to set it up: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn...stom_story

From there, you just go into the Custom Stories menu on the main Amnesia menu.

Thanks man.
I have another question. When im making a note have something written on it when you pick it up i can only have it on one line. how do i go about making a long note?
You can type [br] in your .lang file if you want a break. Otherwise, it'll automatically put it into multiple lines.
It just doesn't write anything when i do that
<Entry Name="Whatever"> This is a test line. [br] This line will be on a new line.</Entry>
That is exactly what I did. do you want to see what I have written there?
i cant use hpl cus im missing sdl.dll or somethin help plz Sad
