I have finished my map, and I would like to test it, I have put the map in "Custom_Story" folder. but when I go into the game, I can't play it. can you help please?
I realize I should give some more details.. Okay so I have created a map, and I put it in a folder in the custom_story's folder. I have other custom story's and some of them have a "custom_story_settings.cfg" file. Do I need one of these, and if I do how do I make one for my map?

Hey thank's man, I am trying it now, its not working just yet though, Can I use notepad, or should I use something else to script?
Thank you so much, I finally got it to work.
I'd recommend notepad, not sure if other programs will work or not.
Notepad should work. If you have any problems, there are video tutorials for seting uo your custom story here:

to play you only need:

-A player start area
-A map file with the script file (.hps), both should be in a maps folder you create. The script only has to have:
Quote:void OnStart()
{}
void OnEnter()
{}
void OnLeave()
{}
-a custom_story_settings.cfg file
Quote:<Main
Name = "my map"
Author = "author! me!"

MapsFolder = "maps/" /* folder where you have the map, in most cases you place it in a maps folder you create*/
StartMap = "nameOfMap.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
-An empty extra_english.lang file.

Just place in your custom_story a folder with custom_story_settings.cfg, extra_english.lang and the maps folder with the map and the .hps script.

Its all in the tutorial above.
Thanks for all the help guys! Check out my map so far! :3
