Saved map does not reflect changes - PatPeter - 03-18-2014
I edited my user_settings.cfg to automatically load me into a copied 00_rainy_hall.map inside the maps directory of my custom_story. I'm using this map as a sort of sandbox to become better at using the level editor.
The problem is that when I save my map and load it, changes are not reflected. For instance, I am deleting the table, candle, and pot in the starting area. I save the map, load it, and they are still there. Am I doing something wrong in just deleting them? I also deleted my map_cache before loading.

Well you're probably opening the original 00_rainy_hall map rather than your copied one.
RE: Saved map does not reflect changes - Mudbill - 03-18-2014
Yeah, you should rename it or it might just load the one you actually copied.
RE: Saved map does not reflect changes - PatPeter - 03-19-2014
You guys were right; it's loading the default map. I renamed my test map but now I am receiving:
Code:
FATAL ERROR
FATAL ERROR: Could not load world file 'custom_stories/Test Story/maps/main/ch01/00_test_rainy_hall.map'My user_settings.cfg has:
Code:
<Map File="00_test_rainy_hall.map" Folder="custom_stories/Test Story/maps/main/ch01/" StartPos="" />I tried using an absolute path:
Code:
<Map File="00_test_rainy_hall.map" Folder="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\custom_stories\Test Story\maps\main\ch01\" StartPos="" />And that didn't work.

Why is it crashing? Post your hpl.log from Documents\Amnesia.

I figured it out...

Quote:In user_settings.cfg, inside the Map element set Folder=”“ to the root folder for your maps (eg Folder=“MyMaps/”), this folder MUST be located inside the maps folder in the game directory (where you put the tools).
I needed to move it into the root maps directory. What's the point of a Folder attribute if it can't point anywhere?

You can make it point anywhere you want.
RE: Saved map does not reflect changes - PatPeter - 03-19-2014
The wiki says it has to be located in the maps directory in the root of Amnesia. I just moved all the maps to a folder called "test" and it worked perfectly. The gatherer I added is spinning around in circles...

In case someone really doesn't want to move their custom_story entities back and forth between the custom_story directory and the maps directory, create a symbolic link:
MKLINK /D "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\maps\brutal" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\custom_stories\Amnesia The Brutal Descent\maps\main"
And set the Folder to the symlink:
<Map File="\ch01\00_rainy_hall.map" Folder="D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\maps\brutal" StartPos="" />
RE: Saved map does not reflect changes - Daemian - 07-19-2015
I think you're missing /custom_stories entry from resources.cfg.
That could explain why it's not finding your maps.
PHP Code:
<Directory Path="/custom_stories" AddSubDirs="true" />
Did you check that?
