Custom entities keep disappearing and error! - Radical Batz - 01-12-2014

I'm using entities and static objects of amnesia a machine for pigs and every time I load my level editor they disappear and gets me this message!

Found some errors while loading the file.c heck log for details. file index out of boards!

now this is the the resources.cfg which I did and is suppose to work!

<Resources>
<Directory Path="/_temp" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/fonts" AddSubDirs="false" />
<Directory Path="/maps" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/textures" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/models" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/gui" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/static_objects" AddSubDirs="true" />

Add this to the TOP!
<Directory path="/custom_stories" AddSubDirs="true" />
-
file index out of bounds i guess.
This means it can not find\load your AMFP files. OR they are placed out of the leveleditor(Area) too far away!
Did you delete all .msh files?

Those could give MAYOR problems!
Just delete those and retry opeing the map.

The problem you have i guess is this :
You did NOT install the patch.
Here is the link.
Install this and OPEN THE LEVELEDITOR : LevelEditor131111.exe
-
Patch is here to download : http://www.thedarkswarm.com/downloads/public/AmnesiaPatchTest131111.zip

the slash near "custom_stories" is supposed to be there and what do you mean by msh files where are they? and I'm already using the new patch o the level editor


RE: Custom entities keep disappearing and error!! [still no replies :(] - DnALANGE - 01-12-2014

Msh files are files hat the game makes by itself to see in the editor \ game..Something like that.
You need to delete those files!
Do like this : Control f in your custom story. search for .msh
DELTE ALL!

Do like this : Control f in ->> your custom story <<-. search for .msh
and delete all!
FIRST install the MFP patch. the link i gave you.
THEN we talk further. because those MFP ent. and statics are spical.
SOME of them won't work without the new patch!

ok I deleted the entities of AMFP and installed the new patch which i did twice cause I already had it! now what do I do?


RE: Custom entities keep disappearing and error!! [still no replies :(] - DnALANGE - 01-12-2014

Deleted the entities,.. why?
now retry. See if it works now.
i think what you do is using the mfp assets in the mfp game.
Only use the files you want from you custom story folder.
check where an entitie is loading from please.
from your custom story,.... or from Machine for pigs.
if your things are loading from machine for pigs, they can never load.
You manually search for them in your custim story.
