RE: doors wont show text

Your code:

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">
you wake up in your lovely mansion only to find a strange note that starts the horrors to come
</Entry>
<CATEGORY Name=“LevelDoors”>
<Entry Name =“LevelDoors1”>This door is locked!</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>




My fixes:

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">
you wake up in your lovely mansion only to find a strange note that starts the horrors to come
</Entry>
</CATEGORY> <-----You are missing this after that entry. The categorys need to be separated.
<CATEGORY Name=“LevelDoors”>
<Entry Name =“LevelDoors1”>This door is locked!</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</CATEGORY> <------------You have 2 ending bracket categorys..delete one and tell me if it works.
</LANGUAGE>

Special characters aren't part of the syntax. Fix your quotation marks.

RE: doors wont show text

I know that when I first loaded my Custom Story none of these appeared. If you haven't already, also try reloading your custom story, or Amnesia altogether. Then again I don't know if that was just a problem on my side or if it has something to do with the .lang refreshing or something.

These are proper quotation marks: "".

These are not: “”.

RE: doors wont show text

If it's a level door the category name has to be "Levels" and not "LevelDoors"

Like this:
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
<Entry Name="Study_Door">Study</Entry>
<Entry Name="Storage_Door">Storage</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

RE: doors wont show text

Speaking of Categorys. I'm quite confused about them. I don't really understand if every single category you type, has to be something special to work? for example the level doors. as you said:

Quote:"If it's a level door the category name has to be "Levels" and not "LevelDoors"
Like this:
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
<Entry Name="Study_Door">Study</Entry>
<Entry Name="Storage_Door">Storage</Entry>
</CATEGORY>


How do you exactly know when it has to be a specific category name?
