Can't Open Stories I Created - dragonlordsd - 05-03-2011
So I've been trying to figure this out, but as far as I can tell, I've followed all the instructions. I'm using a laptop with windows seven, and I got amnesia on steam. I created a map of my own, and now I'm trying to load it.
The problem is, I can't see my story in the custom story menu inside the main game.
My folder set up looks like this:
steamapps/common/amnesia the dark descent/custom_stories/test
within this folder I have
custom_story_settings.cfg
which contains the text:
<Main
Name = "test"
Author = "DanielGallagher"
ImgFile = "story.jpg"
StartMap = "trial1.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
extra_english.lang
which contains:
<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">
Just a brief description!
</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>
the jpeg: story.jpg
and finally the folder maps
which contains:
trial1.map
and
trial1.hps
which contains
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{
//Add the Lantern and 10 Tinderboxes when in Debug mode, always good to have light!
if(ScriptDebugOn())
{
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
}
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}
What am I missing or what am I doing wrong? Why can't I see story in the custom story menu?

Nevermind I figured it out.
Just in case anyone else makes this mistake, I'll explain what happened.
I created the .cfg and .hps files as text files. When saving them, I typed in trial1.hps
However, the computer saved it as "trial1.hps.txt"
I couldn't see this, since i had known file extensions hidden.
