Can't find own custom story - FlawlessHappiness - 03-07-2012


This is how it looks in the folders[Image: 25jf2us.png]

Custom_map_settings.cfg:

<Main
Name = "Firstmap"
Author = "Beecake"

MapFolder = "newmap/maps/"
StartMap = "newmap.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

Newmap.hps:

Void Onstart()
{
}

I followed this video:

I can't see my map ingame in custom stories!
What do i do wrong?

RE: Can't find own custom story - Tiiwh - 03-07-2012

1. Change the Mapfolder text to this: "MapsFolder = "maps/". And make sure you have an area in your level editor which is the start area called "PlayerStartArea_1".

2. Doubleclick on your folder "maps" and create a hps file in there which has the same name as your map (which I believe is "newmap"?) / or just put that hps file you have already created into your "maps" folder.

And in your hps file put these things:

void OnStart()
{
}


void OnEnter()
{
}

void OnLeave()
{
}


3. And I don't know what that "bookshelf_rotate.cfg" thing is...

4. Then go to your level editor and make something in it, choose save as and save your map in "maps".

Better or still errors?

Yes i changed the StartPos in both the editor and the script
EDIT: I DID IT!!! What i did was changing the script name from "custom_map_settings.cfg" to "custom_story_setting.cfg"! Damn scripts has to be so correct ;D

Yes remember to always look at your script and see if there is any misspelling and so on. Just a single "}" or name could be spelled wrong and the entire game will crash. I'm happy that you finally solved it, I hope I helped a bit. Smile
