Mr. X, I'd recommend copying someone else's custom_story_settings and edit it so it works for you. That's what I did, and it works like a charm.

RE: Is map making hard?

I have a similar question as OP. What I'd like to know is how does the editor work? Is it subtractive / additive brushes like Unreal, or is it arranging pieces from sets, like as groups of "Walls", "Floors", and "Ceilings", etc?

Of course, if there were a Mac version out already I wouldn't have to ask this. -.-

RE: Is map making hard?

I would say the editor is by far one of the easiest one I've ever used but still offers the creative room to make pretty much exactly the custom story of your liking. Might take an hour or so of trial and error but when you get into it it's very rewarding Smile (Note: scripting on the other hand can be a hassle, but check out the tutrorials and other peoples custom stories to get the idea how it works)

The editors is a seperate download from the Frictional Games site. Just download and stick the files inn your amnesia redist Wink

Kurton: It's like arranging peices from sets (walls and objects). For floors and ceilings you'd make a plane and apply a texture (this can be done for walls also).

The map editor is very, very, easy. It just takes time and patience to create the levels (in one sitting. oops)

It works if you imagine it. Smile Or send your 10,000 hugs in the mail. I've gotten like, 10 Custom_story_settings to work. (I've already made lots of maps.)
