Custom Story Help Needed! - gantoman - 06-04-2012
I downloaded the editor suite .zip. extracted all the files into the Amnesia directory except for the leveleditor.pdb it won't extract. the editor works fine and saves and all but:
1. the .map file won't show in my maps file in my custom story folder
2. doesn't show up in my Amnesia menu.
please help me

I dont really understand the problem here.. You made an amnesia map and it wont show in your custom story menu in the game ? or is your editor not working ?

I think it's because of a missing file that wouldn't extract from the .zip i downloaded. it's the leveleditor.pdb
I also followed this tutorial till the end of part 2 and it still wouldn't work:

You need to make a Folder, then make a folder called "maps" in that folder, a jpg picture (backgound when launching the CS) and a CFG file with this code:
Code:
<Main ImgFile = "story_background.jpg" Name = "CUSTOM STORY NAME" Author = "YOUR NAME" MapsFolder = "maps/" StartMap = "STARTMAP.map" StartPos = "PlayerStartArea ON THE FIRST MAP" />You'll need to change it. you see what each is for.

I did that but it's not the same code nor a JPG file. it's a .map file and yes I saved it in a folder called maps in the "test" (which happens to be name of story) folder inside the custom_stories.

RE: Custom Story Help Needed! - SilentStriker - 06-05-2012
The problem with the .map not showing try turn on your show hidden files option in your explorer

RE: Custom Story Help Needed! - SilentStriker - 06-05-2012
hmm strange. You may have saved it wrong. Anyways can you send me your cs and I'll take a look at it?
RE: Custom Story Help Needed! - Xanthos - 06-05-2012
FOUND IT
--------
<Main Name = "Our Example Story" Author = "Gantoman" MapsFolder ="maps/" StartMap = "00_example.map StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1" />
-------
StartMap = "00_example.map
Forgot the " at the end of that
===FIXED===
<Main Name = "Our Example Story" Author = "Gantoman" MapsFolder ="maps/" StartMap = "00_example.map" StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1" />
========
Still looking for the ".map won't show" error
