RE: Custom content location - The chaser - 10-24-2012

Simple. The white_night is a folder in the entities or static_objects folder, and the level editor finds every folder that is in the entities, billboards or static_object, etc.

As far as you have it in the correct folder, everything should go fine.

Why make your work more difficult by placing them in the standard content directories just to save yourself a few clicks in the level editor?


RE: Custom content location - craven7 - 10-25-2012

i don't get it...

I have my custom shelf in the standard directory (amnesia the dark descent\entities\gameplay\shelf_secret_door\myShelf.ent).

I also have it in my CS folder (amnesia the dark descent\custom_stories\story\entities\gameplay\shelf_secret_door\myshelf.ent)

I place it in the LE by selecting it in the "gameplay" folder. If now I delete the .ent from the standardfolder (amnesia the dark descent\entities\gameplay\shelf_secret_door\myShelf.ent) it doesn't show up ingame, which means that if I give my CS to someone else, it won't show up.

You first place it in your map. Clik it and go where you can select what entity it is. It's the button [..]
Now go to your custom story and select it. From there on, you can just Ctrl+D it

Thanks, that did it.

How about custom SNTs that are played by script?


RE: Custom content location - FlawlessHappiness - 10-25-2012

Custom .snt files? just call their name. The game should be able to find it. Otherwise call "[CUSTOMSTORYNAME]/[SOUNDFILENAME].snt... if that doesn't work, try:
../[CUSTOMSTORYNAME]/[SOUNDFILENAME].snt
