I removed the Map 5 picture, because that map is going to no longer exist!)

You are a man named Gary Johnson. You are having personal problems, such as depression, for an unknown reason. Your wife goes on a trip to somewhere in the desert, and she dies along the way. She gives you most the things in her will, including a strange artifact she found in the desert. You keep it, and strange things start happening. Such as voices telling you to "Throw it away," or "Give it to me." You ignore them, and keep living, or trying to. You are then taking a nice stroll down an abandond road when you hear something in the bushes. You get weak from fear and fall to the floor. The world goes dark and something wacks you on the head. You wake in a cell and the story begins.


This map will, like said earlier, my first map ever made. I can't script too well and will need help a bit. My map progress so far is:

Map 1: Northern Cells: Map: 10% Scripting: 20%
Map 2: Southern Cells: Map: 0% Script: 0%
Map 3: Abandoned Cells (East Cells): Map: 0% Script: 0%
Map 4: Outer Cells: Map: 90% Script: 98%
Map 5: Water Works: Map: 10% Script: 0%

Estimated Release: (MM/DD/YYYY) 7/??/2011 or 8/??/2011

Pics will be up as soon as I can take them!

EDIT: At the moment for scripting, I'm getting an error. Saying,
FATAL ERROR: Could not load script file Cells4.hps!
main(2,1) : ERR : Expected "," or ";"
main(18,1) : ERR : Unexpected token "{"
main(29,1) : ERR : Unexpected token "{"
main(60,1) : ERR : Unexpected token "{"

I checked my hps, and those lines are correct (As far as I know.)

Any base callbacks, or callbacks that call other callbacks or go directly to a function are to be placed in the OnStart. There is nothing to spawn servant 1, not sure if thats intentional.

(05-25-2011, 04:21 PM)XxRoCkBaNdMaNxX Wrote: I'm thinking of Cancelling this custom story. Why you may ask? 2 reasons.

1. I suck at scripting, and I need help with every damn script I have, and I got an eerie feeling I'm pissing people off with it.

2. My PC hates Amnesia and it crashes 50% of the time on Start Up of the game OR level editor, and It's just too much.

I'm not cancelling it yet, but Im thinking.
