Well, I'm no perfectionist when it come to mapping but one thing I can definitely suggest is making your chest with the lantern and tinderboxes etc a little smaller in height, so I don't have to jump into it to grab everything
Oh yeah I remember that haha. I meant to change that xD.
Wow that's really odd because my Amnesia won't load the extra_english.lang file for whatever reason. :/ This is a really odd occurrence. I suppose I'm on my own with this one. :/
The only thing I think you can do to try off the top of my head is to delete the .map_cache file. That's the only thing I deleted minus creating a "custom_story_settings.cfg" file with these:
Code:
<Main
ImgFile=""
Name = "Test"
Author = "Author"
MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "curious.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>So it looks kinda like this:
Code:
custom_stories
|-Test
|-maps
|-curious.map
|-custom_story_settings.cfg
|-extra_english.langRE: New To Scripting - ohheylookitsmax - 05-25-2013

And placing the curious.map folder into a "maps" folder within the custom story.Code:<Main
ImgFile=""
Name = "Test"
Author = "Author"
MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "curious.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
So it looks kinda like this:
Code:custom_stories
|-Test
|-maps
|-curious.map
|-custom_story_settings.cfg
|-extra_english.lang
I discovered from my hpl log that there is an error reading the extra_english.lang file for some reason. :/ Here it is:

Do you have a custom_story_settings.cfg file in your CS directory? Similar to mine above?

Yes. If you open the zip file i attached, my custom_story_settings.cfg is in there. Also... idk if this helps or not but i found this:
ERROR: Unable to open config file 'C:/Users/Max/Documents/HPL2/ModelEditor.cfg'! Invalid filepointer returned!

I FIGURED IT OUT! I had my .lang file in the wrong place. I had it in my map folder when it should have been outside the map folder with the custom_story_settings. I feel like such a dunce! THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP!

It's not in there, but that's likely 'cause you have files in the VirtualStore folder.

Thanks so much! If you (or anyone else) want(s) to beta test it before I upload it to MODDB.com, let me know and I'll shoot you a PM when it's in the final stages!
