Custom Story Error - Zaffre - 08-13-2012
Hello. I have begun development on a custom story, and I'm experiencing an error. Whenever I try to test the story, it will not show up on the custom stories list. Other installed stories have experienced the error, but solved. Is there any way to fix this?
Additional Information: I've tried fixes from previous threads, reinstalled, made sure everything was okay, and the other stories installed are working fine.

Usually a custom_story_settings.cfg problem, you probably misspelled the name of either the map or the start area.

If everything in custom_story_settings.cfg is rights, you just need to reload your profile in the game, and then it pops up
Works for me

Be sure you have all of these options with correct values in custom_story_settings.cfg:
Code:
<Main
Name = "My Custom Story Name"
Author = "The Guy Who Made This"
MapsFolder = "MapDirectory/"
StartMap = "StartMap.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>You should be sure to change everything in quotes (especially the last 3) to match your situation. Be sure your .hps file has the same name as the map it goes with (ie. StartMap.map goes with StartMap.hps). Make sure you have set a Player Start Area (special area type in the editor), and it is the same name that is in this file. Also, make sure you don't have missing quotes or other symbols that you see here.
custom_story_settings.cfg should be located in your custom story folder's root.
