Custom Story Probleam

[Putmalk]

If it's not showing up in the custom stories browser, that means it's not recognizing the location.

For starters, go into your custom_stories folder, and then make a new folder called...well, I don't know, whatever you want.

Inside that new folder place the custom_story_settings.cfg and extra_english.lang inside there.

Then, make a folder called maps (still inside your custom story's folder), and then enter that folder.

Place your map/hps files in there.

Now, go back to your custom_story_settings.cfg and open it up.

It should look like:

Code: (Select All)

<Main
    Name="MyName"
    Author="Me"
    
    MapsFolder="maps/"
    StartMap="mymap.map"
    StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

Make sure you have a PlayerStartArea in your map (place it via Areas), and you'll be good to go to playtest your map!

Your extra_english...is not right.

It should be structured like so:

Code: (Select All)

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMan">
<Entry Name="Description">Your custom story description</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Note_YourNoteName_Name">Name of a note</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_YourNoteName_Text">The note's text.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

...etc etc. They have guides written to under how this works.
