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?

you must control the name of the file:
file .hps
file .map
RE: Custom story help - aqfitz622 - 11-12-2011
i dont have have a .hps file. what is that and how do i get it
RE: Custom story help - Darion97 - 11-12-2011
the name of the map is identical with the file .cfg?

this is the link to my map. can someone look at this and tell me what i need to do step by step
RE: Custom story help - Statyk - 11-12-2011
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.**
RE: Custom story help - Darion97 - 11-12-2011
now works:
you forgot to put the s in the cfg file, now copy this
custom_story_settings.cfg
<Main
Name="test"
Author="Luis Rodero"
ImgFile=""
MapsFolder="maps/"
StartMap="Test.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
