Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Neaflys - 03-13-2012

Hello everybody,
first ... I'm soooo sorry of my poor english but i'm french .. ^^' excuse me for that.

Well, I've got a problem with CUSTOM STORY ...
I've tried to create my own and it doesn't work, but, anyway ... That's not the most problematic.
I've got a MacBook Pro 13" intel core i5 2,4 Ghz (Maybe ?)
And Amnesia : The Dark Descent v1.2 (does the problem can be from here ?)
I bought the game on Frictional Game Store (NOT ON STEAM).

So, my problem is : I can't find any custom story in the launcher.
for exemple, I've download "Lost the Lights" ... I but the folder which contents all .lang/.cfg/others...
in the Custom Story folder in Amnesia's ressources. And I loading the game and I can't see the name of custom story. ANYTHING !
So ... Somebody to help me ? Maybe that came from 1.2 version or Mac os X (hope not :'( )

Thank you for your help and sorry for my english ^^'

Neaflys.

P.S : I made a screen to show you what I done.
[Image: capture-d-cran-20...18.50.40-3286b98.png] This is in Amnesia.app [right click => show the content of package (or something like that in english I don't know ^^')]


Did I just make something wrong ? :/

RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Urkle - 03-13-2012

The custom stories do not appear in the launcher, but only in the in-game menu. After starting the game and picking your profile you will see a custom stores menu there...


RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Neaflys - 03-13-2012

Oh well uh .. it's my english ... When I run the game
I've got "Profile" / "Continue" / "New Game" / "Custom Story" but nothing appear inside. This is what I mean.

EDIT :
"personnaliser l'histoire" means Custom Story :

Really nobody to help me ? ...

RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Urkle - 03-14-2012

Can you get your hpl.log from your home directory? it's in the Library/Application Support/Frictional Games/Amnesia/Main folder. get that file after you run amnesia once and open up that custom story window and then quit the game.



RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Neaflys - 03-14-2012

yes I've got "hpl.log" in home directory in main folder of Amnesia in the library/appli support/Frictional Games/
I run the game, open Custom STory window (always nothing ...) open "Hpl.log" in "terminal (console in french maybe)" and then quit the game. It's look like this :

And then ... Always nothing in custom story window... :/
Sorry for the long post :/

RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Urkle - 03-15-2012

ok.. can you check your main_init.cfg file? (it's in the resources folder under the config folder)

the only thing I can think of is that some mod you may have applied could have overwritten the main_init.cfg and changed the CustomStoryPath in the file (it's an xml file).


RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Neaflys - 03-15-2012

about my main_init.cfg :

<ConfigFiles
Resources = "resources.cfg"
Materials = "materials.cfg"

Game = "config/game.cfg"
Menu = "config/menu.cfg"
PreMenu = "config/pre_menu.cfg"
Demo = "config/demo.cfg"

DefaultMainSettings = "config/default_main_settings.cfg"

DefaultMainSettingsLow = "launcher/default_main_settings_low.cfg"
DefaultMainSettingsMedium = "launcher/default_main_settings_medium.cfg"
DefaultMainSettingsHigh = "launcher/default_main_settings_high.cfg"


DefaultUserSettings = "config/default_user_settings.cfg"
DefaultUserKeys = "config/default_user_keys.cfg"

DefaultBaseLanguage = "base_english.lang"
DefaultGameLanguage = "english.lang"
/>

<Directories
MainSaveFolder = "Main"

BaseLanguageFolder = "config/"
GameLanguageFolder = "config/lang_main/"

CustomStoryPath = "custom_stories"
/>

<Variables
GameName = "Amnesia - The Dark Descent -"
/>

<StartMap
File = "00_rainy_hall.map"
Folder = "maps/main/"
Pos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>

I don't touch anything of mod or others files in Amnesia's folder.
I just create some maps and .hps and put it in custom_stories to play my own story, and I saw that not running at all, so I tried with Lost the Light and that doesn't work too... So ...
If I didn't change anything, what is the problem and were did he came from..

RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Urkle - 03-15-2012

do you have a custom_story_settings.cfg file in your story folder?? As that is required for the interface to find the stories. It basically just iterates that folder and loads the custom_story_settings.cfg file.


RE: Can't play Custom Story at all... :'( - Neaflys - 03-15-2012

[Image: capture-d-cran-20...18.50.37-3296106.png] The content of custom_story_settings.cfg for Lost the Light is :

<Main
Name="Lost The Lights 1.2"
Author="UnseenLegend_( NL )"
ImgFile="Amnesia Custom Story Lost The Lights_opt.jpg"

MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap="OutSide.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
