I can't seem to get my custom story to work. I was hoping someone can download the folder and see what needs to be added or removed to get it to work, thanks!

Is your story in a subfolder? If not, you have to create one. For example YourStory\maps\xyz.map and put the .cfg files in YourStory. The .cfg file seems to be alright.
You may also try to rename the <main at the beginning of the .cfg to <Main

.cfg files are very glitchy. Maybe this helps:

Code:

<Main
Name="A cannon story"
Author="The chaser"
ImgFile="Hope this example helps.jpg"  

StartMap="Dolan's_terror_house.map"
StartPos="whateverthestartis"  
/>

Just edit the content inside the "" and see what happens. If doesn't work, check the same names.

The ImgFile line can be simply blank. Only fill it in if you use images.

Looking at the cfg file, it should be 100% correct.

2 Major issues:


<Main
Name = "Test Story"
Author = "MMan"
ImgFile = "story.png"
MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "00_TestMaps.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>


-"M" of Main needs to be capitilized.

-"N" in the 1st Category Name needs to be capitlized.

Hope that helped!
