Did you make a custom_story_settings.cfg?

RE: Custom story help

Custom Story Folder>MapNameFolder>>>>>maps
--------------------Customstory.cfg----- MapName.Map
--------------------ExtraEnglish.lang -----MapName.HPS


Note* Ignore the Dashes.

The Top Line is All the Folders,
THe Second and Third Lines are the files you should have in each folder.

Do you have it setup like this?

RE: Custom story help

A .hps file is necessary for ALL scripts within the .map that the name matches PERFECTLY... Just open Notepad (Notepad++ is recommended) and copy this into it:

//____________________________

void OnStart()
{

}

void OnEnter()
{

}

void OnLeave()
{

}

//_______________________

Then save it in the same folder as the map as the name calls. For example:

test.map
test.hps

**MAKE SURE that in the "File Name" when saving, you put ".hps" at the end. Otherwise, it'll save as a ".txt" and that's wrong.**
