How to play/test my amnesia hpl map - ollie750 - 06-21-2012

Hey, i've been working on an amnesia level editor map for a while but i really would just like to test it out not using the map viewer as in the real game, how can i do this? Smile

To be able to play your map you must first make a custom_story_settings.cfg file. It will look something like this
<Main
Name = "name of your custom story"
Author = "Your Name!"
MapsFolder = "CustomMaps/" <--make sure that this is the same name as the folder with all your maps
StartMap = "map001.map" <--again make sure this is the same name as your beginning map
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

You put your .cfg file in your custom story folder, but that folder has to be in the custom_stories folder

If your custom story has multiple levels, with the player spawn point right outisde the door, do you need a new cfg file for the playerstartpos? or do you just put that information in the entity section of the level door they just went through?

Just the entity section of the level door.

MrDosht, how the hell do you find so old threads? You're lately answering questions made a half year ago. The user won't be here anymore.

Just saying.
