Make sure the path is
redist/MG/
Maybe that what you did wrong?

I bought it on steam, so that should be steam/steamapps, etc. etc.
And what path? I added so many /MG/anything I don't know where

In MG/config/default_main_settings.cfg, change the settings to...

ShowPreMenu = False
Fullscreen = False
LimitFPS = False
VSync = True

--
In MG/config/resources.cfg, change the path to....
MG/main_menu
MG/maps
MG/flashbacks
Also, add these..
/MG/entities
/MG/static_objects
/MG/music
/MG/sounds
/MG/graphics
/MG/textures
/MG/gui

--
Make it, and place it at your FC folder with the extension of .bat.
Code:
cd /d ..
Amnesia.exe test_mod/config/main_init.cfg

It is easy. Or just download the sample and change everything with the prefix
test_mod
with
MG

(My Own Problem.)
If i made the FC correctly, how do i use the custom assets in the Level Editor? And do i have to move the original asset to the FC folder?

I feel so stupid now -.- But it finally worked! Thank you!

How do i use the custom assets in the Level Editor? And do i also have to copy the original assets to the FC folder? Please, help!

RE: How to create a fully isolated full conversion - Acies - 02-21-2013

I have custom folders withing the base directories (static_objects, entities, textures etc.) which I then move into my "Fullconversion folder" upon release.

The following is how I interpret it (doesn't necessarily have to be true):
You can also modify the "base" resources.cfg to include directories for your custom assets (for use in the level editor). You do not have to include the original assets in your FC folder. As I understand it your "FC" resources.cfg will include any folders listed within it (which include the base folders). If multiple entries of the same files occur - the directories listed first will be given priority. Eg.

-- YourFC\resources.cfg --
YourFC\models\lantern
models\lantern

Result: Your custom lantern will be used instead of the default lantern.

I assume that you can still use the hpllevel editor for the full conversion maps. Possibly a stupid question but I felt as if I should ask it anyway, sorry if it is irrelevant Tongue

Edit:it was a stupid question, level editor works fine.

This happens when I launch the custom story game it self.

Also the Exception Reason is this

"Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module
Amnesia.exe at 0023:005A3D12

Help please!

I had the same problem

Edit: Just had to download the pre-prepared files Big Grin For some strange reason however, my main menu does not show the map it should. Instead it shows a very dark ceiling and that's about it.

You see, some Full Conversions require you to enter the serial number to validate the game. Question is, how do i do that?

The same way you did it for the original game. If you want to avoid looking up the serial key, then copy the Documents/Amnesia/Main/installkey file into your full converion's user folder.
