New item problems - DannieWest - 05-16-2011

I got a yellow container for my custom story. The problem is, I can only get it in the game if i choose another entity, place it, and then click the "..." and find it in the folder where I have it. But then when I save and exit, and then wanna continue on the map it sais "Found some errors while loading the map" and the yellow container is gone :o Same with the breakable chandelier =/
Tried turning off/on the forcecacheloading thingy but none worked :o

Where did you place it? It should be in entities/items folder.


RE: New item problems - DannieWest - 05-16-2011

Well, placed it in my custom story folder, in entities folder :o It's retail bought, if that matters~

redist/entities? or a folder inside entities? If the previous, try to place it in a folder instead and check from inside there.


RE: New item problems - Tanshaydar - 05-16-2011

If you are making a custom story, you have to place entities in both folders.


RE: New item problems - DannieWest - 05-16-2011

Didn't really follow you there, don't think retail bought got a redist folder Confused
So when I open Amnesia, in the editor suite I click open custom stories, and inside my own custom storie I created a folder called entities, and inside of that is where I put the container :o


RE: New item problems - Tanshaydar - 05-16-2011

You have to put those files into both your custom story folder and in game's actual folders. Like this:

You have an entity, put it here and there:
- Your Custom Story Folder/entities
- Games' Actual Folder/entities

Otherwise every time you open your map, you will have to place that entity again and again.

Oh sorry if I gave bad info, but I don't think we have a redist folder, so I got no clue how to put in the game's actual folder :o
(Yea and sorry if my english isn't perfect xD)


RE: New item problems - Roenlond - 05-16-2011

If you don't have a redist folder, simply skip that path altogether.

For example:

Steam: Amnesia/entities
All other purchases: Amnesia/redist/entities.


RE: New item problems - DannieWest - 05-16-2011

OOokay... So I go to Users - Library - Application Support - Frictional Games - Amnesia, and inside there is the mainsettings, installkey, all users and stuff, but redist? I thought redist were only steam bought? o.O
