.lang file help? (SOLVED) - TheDanny942 - 01-25-2012
In my map, I had a key working, but then I tried to add a note, and now, nothing works, the key is blank, and so is the note. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks so much.

ok, ive just taken your .lang, and made a test map and put the items in there with the exact names and it worked perfectly. everything was there.
If you have just discovered debug mode and are loading a map directly from startup(skipping choosing a profile and map) Then that will not show the extra_english.lang
But its most likely going to be a spelling error in your mapping. Make sure you dont call the key and note BasementDoorKey and Explaining, Make sure they are the CUSTOM SUB ITEM TYPE NAME(For the key) and for the note, make sure you put Explaining in the NOTE TEXT area under the entity section.

I can't find any errors... Have you tried refreshing the Amnesia game? You may just need the resources refreshed.

No name or anything. And are you saying I should not load a map from startup, just use the regular thing?
