Hey everyone. So this is really great stuff you made so far Nye. Really scary and made me jump a few times. But once I clicked on the Private Quarters the game crashed to desktop. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit.

The Private Quarters are the end of the demo.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, good sir!

Phew! That is relief. Thanks for your reply.

Dear Nye,

thanks for providing a possible fix. It didn't work for me though I removed the blank line as you said, saved the file and started amnesia. But the custom story still didn't show up. Maybe send a mail to the dev guys...

cheers,

Go into the "Unexpected Arrival" folder and open "custom_story_settings.cfg" in Notepad or Notepad++.

Make sure there are are no line spaces between anything. The file should look something like this:

<Main
Name = "An Unexpected Arrival"
Author = "Nye"
MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "outside.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

After ensuring there are no spaces/correcting this. Restart the game and you "SHOULD" see it in the menu. There is some weird bug where sometimes, it will randomly add a space there and it seems it wont show up on the custom story list.

It worked for me, now I'm able to see the story in the menu. It seems that you have to remove not only the blank line (which I also had), but the spaces at the beginning of each line as well. When I removed the blank line only, it didn't work. Then I just copy-pasted this to my custom_story_settings.cfg:

<Main
Name = "An Unexpected Arrival"
Author = "Nye"
MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "outside.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

And it worked.

It finally worked! I had to copy paste the lines from this forum and overwrite the config file! Manually removing the spaces didn't work... How weird!!

but anyway, problem solved

Cheers guys!

Cool, glad to hear it worked for some of you

Any Progress with the full custom story?

40%

I just tested your Demo and I gotta say, it's really well done.
Now, I gotta say that my upcoming custom story has a very similar intro as yours, so I was hoping that you won't mind

Looking forward for full release!
