Fix for replacement items (like the flashlight) when doing conversion mods

[Simpanra]

when my folder full of stuff (the stuff you told us how to do, like your wn_config) is inside my amnesia root, how do i tell amnesia to open my conversion rather than it just opening the normal amnesia?

I have a shortcut to open the game with my custom main_init.cfg

Code: (Select All)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Amnesia - The Dark Descent\redist\Amnesia.exe" wn_config/main_init.cfg

Another way is creating a .bat file with these:

Code: (Select All)

Amnesia.exe config/test_main_init.cfg

Though this bat file has to be in the root folder, where your Amnesia.exe is.

but how did you set it to open your custom one? thats what i don't understand =/ i have everything you told me to do, done, but i need an amnesia shortcut to my story.

When you load your custom main_init.cfg game automatically opens your conversion. If you are asking something else I couldn't understand exactly.

I was using the bullseye lantern instead of using the flashlight, and when I pick up the bullseye lantern in-game, I turn it on, but it shows the original lantern. Maybe you forgot to include something that includes changing the hand holding the lantern to something else?

I don't know about bullseye, flashlight mod has its own hand animations with its own ho files. Maybe that's the missing thing.

No, you would use this exact same method for the Bullseye lantern as well
I've tested it out

I figured it out. There was a file called bullseyelantern.ho and so I had to rename that to lantern.ho
