Help with Custom Story! - Damondestroyer - 11-21-2010
Basically, i made my custom story, but it doesnt appear in the list. I made a folder in the custom story folder with everything in it, and in that folder my .cfg settings and a subfolder with my map. But, am i missing anything? If its the MAP_CACHE, i have no idea how to get that. Thank you in advance.
RE: Help with Custom Story! - Chilton - 11-21-2010
Do you have a .hps for the map? And are you sure the .cfg is done correctly?
RE: Help with Custom Story! - Akumasama - 11-21-2010
.hps is not necessary.
This is what a basic map looks like.
Code:
custom_stories>
"story name">
custom_story_settings.cfg
maps>
"map name".hps
"map name".mapThe arrow is a new sub-folder

It still doesnt seem to appear. I made a .hps file of the same name of the map, but nothing.

Then you should probably post the contents of your cfg, for verification purposes - Redacting the name of the story if you want to.
Also, .hps may not be necessary, but its best not to just jab your finger into one mark and ignore any others;

You seem to be forgetting one important thing...
Also, the / is intentional, and are the ". Just fill in the * marked area, deleting the *'s as well.
so
MapsFolder = "maps/"
Would work
