Diary problem and Main Menu problem... - SLAMnesia - 05-26-2011
First problem:
1) I've been looking around and can't find any tutorial on how to make Diaries. I tried making the script identical to the Note script in .lang file but with no success:
<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Diary_sallumdiary_Name">diary title</Entry>
<Entry Name="Diary_sallumdiary_Text">text goes here</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
sallumdiary being the name of the diary in the editor.
Second problem:
2) I know how to make a custom Main Menu background and I've achieved so, but I want my background to be that one scenic room in Study (pic attached). So I copied pasted the right file and edited out the rest of study for less loading time and made a PlayerStart area named CameraPos. The main menu shows what appears to be only Particle Systems.

Any advice or help is always greatly appreciated

Ok, how to mend the study problem, select every item in the study (yes this will take a while, but do it) and then when they are all selected go to "File" and click Export Object or Export as Obj or something along those lines =) save it somewhere you will remember and then go into the original bg_menu.map and click "file" and then "import obj". Import the object you made and place it where you like ^_^
Done =)
HUGE SIDE NOTE!!!!! do not delete the old bg_menu.map as it has a wierd playerstartarea which acts as the camera. Only ever edit THAT map, don't replace it.
Good luck =)
