Developer Mode - Angerpull - 07-27-2011

I can edit the text files until I get to this part

1. In user_settings.cfg, inside the ”<Map”-element set Folder=”” to the root folder for your maps (eg Folder=“MyMaps/”), this folder MUST be located inside the maps folder in the game directory (where you put the tools).

2. In user_settings.cfg, inside the ”<Map”-element set File=”“ to point to the map you want to load (eg File=“my_map.map”).

So I place this inside of it.

In user_settings.cfg, inside the ”<Map”-element set Folder=”” to the root folder for your maps (eg Folder=“SoundofSilence/”), this folder MUST be located inside the maps folder in the game directory (where you put the tools).

In user_settings.cfg, inside the ”<Map”-element set File=”“ to point to the map you want to load (eg File=“Reptance.map”).

I just error out of the game.

Any help?

I don't really get what's your problem, but i think you don't know what to type in?
<Map File="test.map" Folder="YourFolder/maps/" StartPos="" />
This means your map folder is in /maps/YourFolder/maps/test.map

This means your map folder is in /maps/YourFolder/maps/test.map

Still getting an Error telling me it cannot load world file or something.
I got it working, but the English Lang file isn't read. I cannot see any info or any texts displayed by me.

In developer mode you're not able to read your text.
To read them you have to start your story via the game menu.

Developer mode is only useful to test your scripts and such.

Developer mode can still be used, you don't need to specify a certain map to load and disable the menu. It is still extremely useful. For example, when scripting an enemy - would you rather be chased every time, even though you know it works just fine, or disable the enemies if you're in developer mode? Reloading a map via the debug menu can take 1-3 seconds depending on the map, while restarting the game will take 10-15 seconds. In the long run, it is extremely important.
