FullConversation Help :P - NevoH72 - 09-16-2015

Well,i have amnesia on steam,and i want to play the custom story called meta,and i got fullconversation_1,There is a bat file that lanuches the story,but how i launch it with steam? Sad


RE: FullConversation Help :P - Kreekakon - 09-16-2015

To my knowledge you cannot launch Full Conversions directly through Steam as one of its games as the full conversion is launched from the 3rd party .bat file.


RE: FullConversation Help :P - Traggey - 09-16-2015

You can not launch it through steam.


RE: FullConversation Help :P - Mudbill - 09-16-2015

Actually....

By adding a launch option, Amnesia is made to recognize it as a path to a main_init.cfg file, those used to launch mods. Normal bat files contain a line that says "Amnesia.exe mod/config/main_init.cfg" or so, basically launching Amnesia with an argument. Steam launch options adds that as arguments to the executable.

So yes, you can. It was the most common way for me to do it on Mac because Mac doesn't use bat files.

Im searching but i can't find the ''mods''..


RE: FullConversation Help :P - jens - 09-17-2015

mods is an example. Should probably be a folder with the name of the total conversion you try to run. or it might be "custom_stories/...."


RE: FullConversation Help :P - NevoH72 - 09-17-2015

I dont have nothing in custom stories...
Only got fullconversation in the main folder where everything is

This is where i have it C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\fullconversion_1

I do see the cfg,and the main.init.cfg

So i don't know what excatly i need to write there...
IF is that C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\fullconversion_1\config
Or something else

.....

Someone?

We solved this through PM.

Mugbill Wrote:If you want to start that through Steam, right click on Amnesia and select Properties, then select Launch Options to get to the picture I showed. In the text box, type the relative path to your config from the Amnesia executable. In your case that would be "fullconversion_1/config/main_init.cfg" (without quotes with forward slashes).
