"Custom Story" creation (I need help) - 13irth - 09-27-2015
So I love the hpl3 engine and level editor and everything. I bookmarked the documentation page for it too.
I have one simple problem that I would love to get solved...
How do I get my map to work?
I made a simple plane, put a light source over it, and put a player start on it.
Saved it to a folder named "ExperimentalMap" inside a "custom_stories" folder in steamapps\common\SOMA
Then I changed the file in My Documents\my games\Soma\Main called Dev_user_settings.cfg ---
I simply changed this part: <Map File="map1.hpm" Folder="custom_stories" StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1" />
and then I ran SomaDev.bat
and it would give me a few errors and the map simply wouldn't load proper or at all.
Can you guys tell me what I did wrong and how I can fix it? I appreciate it a bunch.

If you are running SomaDev you don't need to change the settings. Pressing F1 in game should make the debug menu appear, there's a "Load Map" button in it.
