level doors not working!? - LoneWolf - 12-16-2010
I have gotten the level door details to come up.. eg. hallway
But when i try to go through a level door i get error, cannot find story5/maps5/map6.map
Heres the script for map 6:
<Main
Name = "Sixth area"
Author = "Kieren Tod"
MapsFolder = "maps6/"
StartMap = "Map6.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_6"
/>
Also the map loads up fine when i load it up using the custom storys menu. Also for the level door in MAP5, i put down :
PlayerStartArea_6 for the starting position.
Map6.map for the map to load up.
and finally map6_door for the messaging, which liek i said works.
Any idea what i've done wrong? i looked up on previous threads and i did the exact same as people have said but it doesnt work at all....

Let me get this straight: you have several map folders?
In your custom_story_settings.cfg, you specify where all your maps are. Put all of them in the same folder.

I have story5 folder which has cfg file and lang file, and a folder called maps5, in that is the map5.map and hps file.
then i have a story 6 folder and say goes for it and a story 7 folder and a story 8 folder. all with a map each in them.
So what your saying is put everything : all my maps and all my hps files in the same folder? and put my cfg and lang files in a folder also (maps and that will be in the folder which is in the lang and cfg. folder ?)

custom_story_settings.cfg is only used upon starting the custom story. Having several of them has no use at all. If you want the game to find your maps, make a subfolder "maps" in your custom story folder. Move all the maps there. In your custom story folder, there should also be the custom_story_settings.cfg, with the line
MapsFolder = "maps/map1.map"
as well as the other necessary info.
If you don't understand my confusing ramble, read this with thought:
