Exclamation  Help Setting up Dev Environment!

So I followed all the instructions on the wiki page about "Setting up Development Environment" and when I start my game, it gets the loading screen which quickly disappears and then the game says, "FATAL ERROR: Could not load world file 'DWMainDW_Bedroom.map'. What's weird is, in the user_settings.cfg file, I set the Folder="DWMain" and the File="DWBedroom.map", but for some reason it says it can't load 'DWMainDW_Bedroom.map'? That's not the map file's name and and the two commands in the user_settings.cfg are separate like they should be. Where is my "DWMain" folder supposed to be placed? Right now I have it in the main game directory which contains the Amnesia.exe and such.

What's going on? Huh

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

I don't know how much of this you need to do but I added the full directory (e:\program files(x86)\amnesia - the dark descent\redist\maps\custom\) and made sure to add a \ at the end

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

In which field did you put your full directory, File or Folder?

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

go to your main profile folder and copy the user_settings.cfg file accross, it doesnt make one unless you save something in the options menu

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

if your folder is in the game directory you should have Folder="DWMain/". It's the missing / at the end that's causing it to fail. I had that problem after folloing the wiki guide.

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

Can one of you guys paste what both your main_settings.cfg and user_settings.cfg files look like inside? Both your suggestions still didn't make it work for some reason...
Can anyone help me by pasting what their 2 files for the Development Setup looks like? I would really appreciate it!

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

I finally got it to work.

Take your DWMain folder and put it into Amnesia\maps directory. then your map will load Smile

It should look like this in youre settings:
<Map File="DW_Bedroom.map" Folder="DWMain/"

The / is very important at the end of folder name.

RE: Help Setting up Dev Environment!

Ok, so I found it out on my own! Don't create a separate folder for your map, place your map inside "maps/main" and then it works! Oh and don't forget to remove anything from the Folder="" field in your user_settings.cfg.
