Custom stories are merging - thenacho - 08-10-2012

I downloaded the mod "Grimorium Verum," and when I enter the "Library" area I am treated to the "Library" area from the "Phengophobia" mod instead. I deleted the Phengophobia folder in the custom stories directory and reinstalled Grimorium Verum, but it continued to occur. How do I stop this?

Post the contents of your resources.cfg file here. It's located in the working directory of Amnesia.

Assuming you're on Windows, do you have any Amnesia-related files in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore?


RE: Custom stories are merging - Traggey - 08-10-2012

This can happen if two custom stories have levels named the same.

This is a problem with authors not naming their levels in a unique way.


RE: Custom stories are merging - Your Computer - 08-10-2012

Such a conflict is only supposed to occur with badly structured full conversions. The game is designed with the assumption that one custom story might have a file named the same. It would make sense if he has files in the VirtualStore, which are causing conflicts.

It has happend to me with non full conversions, can't recall which stories it was but it was during one of my streams.

Loaded me into a different custom story.


RE: Custom stories are merging - Your Computer - 08-10-2012

I tested both custom stories listed in this thread, no conflict experienced by me.
