Showing up issue- Read if you want - Xeronaile - 01-10-2012

So the issue that I have here today is that the map will not show up in my custom story file (yes, I have watched videos, converted them from txt to lang and cfg, copied exactly what they did in the videos) but it's just not showing up.
[align=-webkit-auto]This is my first map ever and I have searched for help, although I have not been able to find a fix. If you would take the time to read over what I have written and check for errors it would be highly appreciated.[/align]
Cfg file:

<Main

Name ="Fire"
Author ="Fyre"
ImgFile=""
MapsFolder ="maps/"
StartMap ="00_study.map"
StartPos ="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

This is my lang. File:

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">You're not alone</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

This is my hps file, since I'm not an experienced map creator I did not add scripts
I have heard of something about the lantern needing a script... I do have a lantern on my map.


void OnStart()
{
}


In my folders-

Fire (The custom story)-
Custom_story_setting.cfg
maps (Folder)
extra_english.lang

Inside the maps folder-
00_study.hps (Yes I made sure that it is a hps file, all of the files that needed the transition from the text to lang, or hps or something).
00_study.map (originally Toms.map)


-If you see any errors I would appreciate it [Image: biggrin.gif],

Thanks again-

I highlighted bolded areas that seem to be an issue. The lang file, a scripted lantern, and the hps do not stop the game from showing up. It's the "custom_story_settings.cfg"...

Does the start map have to be "Toms.map" instead of "00_study.map"

<Main

Name ="Xeronaile"
Author ="Xero"
ImgFile=""
MapsFolder ="maps/"
StartMap ="00_study.map"
StartPos ="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

It's like that now, I edited it earlier so it looked like that, but then decided to change it to 00_study.map and 00_study.hps is in the maps folder
I wrote an error when asking for the help, I'll fix that now:
(I basically fixed that, but it still won't show up).

Gah these technical issues.

RE: Showing up issue- Read if you want - flamez3 - 01-13-2012

Did you buy amnesia? Cause that looks fine for me?

RE: Showing up issue- Read if you want - Tripication - 01-13-2012

I Apologise for not giving the credit for the following, But this is what starts off most of my custom stories.

Download this and Extract "Amnesia Custom story pack" to your Amnesia:The dark Descent\custom_stories\

Then change the name of the folder. to whatever your Story name will be, and edit the files inside to fit your needs.
Once again, i apologise for not giving credit for this pack, i did not put it together, I just found it on youtube somewhere.

Ok I'll try this.
Yes amnesia is legally bought on steam.
Ok so I ran it, and I think the issue was that I did not include the RunOnEnd or something, thanks, it worked this time with the help of that packet.
