Hello. I recently posted about how my stories weren't showing up, but that's sorted out. Here's my error: the extra_english.lang isn't working. I've tried editing it, but to no avail. Here are my scripts; I followed them from a video, as I'm new to coding. It could just be my ignorance.

01_tutorial.hps (the main map):

Spoiler below!
void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("DoorLocked", 1);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_1", "level_wood_1", "FUNCTION", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_2", "mansion_1", "FUNCTION2", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("mansion_1", "FUNCTION3", false);
}

void OnEnter()
{

}

void OnLeave()
{

}
void FUNCTION(string &in item, string &in door)
{
SetLevelDoorLocked("level_wood_1", false);
PlayGuiSound("unlock_door.snt", 100);
RemoveItem("key_study_1");
}
void FUNCTION2(string &in item, string &in door)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);
PlayGuiSound("unlock_door.snt", 100);
RemoveItem("key_study_2");
SetLocalVarInt("DoorLocked", 0);
}
void FUNCTION3(string &in entity)
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("DoorLocked") == 1)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "doorlock2", 3);
}
}

Additional Info: I have two keys. Their custom IDs are key1 an key2. The tutorial series is made by XXVengeanceFilmsXX on YouTube. Thanks in advance.

You need closing quotation marks after the ItemDescs and ItemNames for key1 and key2, as well as Description.

e.g.
Code:
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_key1">A silver key coated with rust.</Entry>

The resources section is used to set directory paths for resources (like fonts and the lang); it is only used for full/total conversions so modders can introduce additional custom elements as well as use their own custom lang file. Literally no use for normal mods; I think people just copy it from Your Computer's tutorial or whatever beginner's tutorial for the lang they're using.
