Custom Story Issues - YieldingSerenity - 01-13-2013

Hey everyone,

So I'm new to the idea of creating custom stories for Amnesia, and need a little help. I watched/read plenty of tutorials online and downloaded the required editors to create a custom story. I know that I need an extra_english.lang file, custom_story_settings.cfg file, maps folder, and .map and .hps file in that folder. Here was my custom story settings code:

<Main

Name = "First Level EVA"
Author = "YieldingSerenity"

MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "test.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"

/>

Everything seems fine, but when I load Amnesia, and go to load my game it isn't in the custom story list. The entire custom story is in the custom story folder in the game folders, and the level has a start point. Can anyone help ( I use mac but I can understand windows directions in terms of a mac)?

The .cfg file seems to be fine. This must be a directory question:

It must be like:

For the .cfg file:

Amnesia-Redist-custom_stories-yourcs-custom_story_settings.cfg


For the .lang file:
Amnesia-Redist-custom_stories-yourcs-extra_english.lang
