Oh man...
What you need is here: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/custom_story

I'm having the exact same problem, I have not only done exactly as people have said to do but I copied and pasted (editing the parts like the map name obviously) the necessary scripts. The map is still not showing up! I'm on a mac, if that makes a difference; since the wiki's contain little to help mac users.

Make a map in your custom_stories folder. In that folder, create a folder called "maps". Then open notepad and write:
Code:<Main
Name="Custom Story Name"
Author="Author Name"
ImgFile=""
StartMap="Name of your .map file (With .map at end, Example: mymap.map)"
StartPos="A start position for player. Can be left blank"
/>
Save it as "custom_story_settings.cfg" in the folder you made (not "maps")
Then make a new notepad document and write:
Code:<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">Description of your custom story.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>
Save as extra_english.lang (also in your folder)
Then place ur maps & hps files (if you got scripts) in "maps" folder and it should pop up in game.
Righto, done everything there exactly as you said, and yet nothing...
Hate to sound like an idiot, 'cause I'm not.

I can list them yes, but not my own.
RE: Getting a simple map to load - Tanshaydar - 02-12-2011
Can you upload your folder? I mean your story in the custom_story folder, which you want it to show up on the list.

I hope that works ok I have little upload experience lol
It's very simple atm since I want to be able to test it before I do anything more.
RE: Getting a simple map to load - Tanshaydar - 02-14-2011
Seems like the problem is your custom_story_settings.cfg file.
I've managed to list it.
Here's what I've changed:
Code:
<Main
Name = "Wrath Child"
Author = "Karnio"
ImgFile = ""
MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "00_wc.map"
StartPos = "PlayStartArea_1"
