RE: Where to save custom maps.

Custom maps.

Make a subfolder called "Maps" and put it in there, I also made a sub-sub folder in the subfolder Maps called ch01, to make it a lil easier.

k thanks Smile

EDIT: Hmm still doesnt work... I noticed that Amnesias default maps have different files too called .hps and .map cache.

So do i need to compile my maps before saving or something? And if so, how? Cause when i save it just creates a .map file and it won't show up in the Custom Stories menu option.

My mind has gone completely blank here :S

Advice anyone?

RE: Where to save custom maps.

I've gone through the same stuff as you, being completely obsessed with getting it to work.

So here's what I've done :

Custom stories > Subfolder maps > subfolder ch01, and I named my room :

00_creepy_room

then in the custom_story_settings i put in this

<Main
Name= "Here you'll put the name the map will be named when you open custom stories on Amnesia"
Author= "Also put here whatever you wish."
ImgFile= ""

MapsFolder = "maps/ch01/"
StartMap= "00_creepy_room.map"
StartPos= "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

RE: Where to save custom maps.

The editor creates the cache file and .hps files contain the scripting for events etc.

If you want to create a custom story follow the instructions here

If you you just want to be able to access your maps from the game follow the guide here on setting up a development environment. You can then load right into a map or select it through the debug menu.
