Post your extra_english.lang file please. This is most likely where the error will be found.

Because there's a problem in your custom story, and I won't know what that problem is until you let me go through your scripts and files. No one here will be able to help you if you don't have access to your folders.

If that's all you have, I don't think the problem lies there. Is the file a clean .lang file and not .lang.txt? If you have hidden extensions, that can be the case if you made the file yourself. Also, is it located in your story's folder, next to your .cfg and map folder?

PS: The author is defined in your custom_story_settings.cfg file. Just open it and add it.

The Title and author won't show up, it says "No Description".

This looks just fine to me. I'm guessing you just forgot the </LANGUAGE> at the end of your lang since you had it before.

I think the problem is outside the file itself. How is your story set up? File locations and names.extensions etc.

Ah, I see. You didn't post your whole file. Keep in mind that a single error in the lang file will cause all the text in your game to remain blank.

You're missing quite a few </Entry> tags here. Remember that every time you do <Entry Name=""> you NEED to have a </Entry> tag after it. You're missing 2 in the Inventory category and 1 in the Levels category. Add them after your text.

PHP Code:
<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
    <
Entry Name="ItemName_Corridorkey_1">Hall Key</Entry>
    <
Entry Name="ItemDesc_Corridorkey_1">A Key to the Hall</Entry>
