Custom Stories Will Not Load

[joey1245]

I've been trying to get a few of my unfinished custom stroies onto my game so I can test them and get them to work, but they don't appear under custom stories. I've got them in that folder though and I think i've got the right folder and script layout. Could anybody tell me the order of the folders and scripts? Or simply why it's not working?

You should have the extra_english.lang and the custom_story_settings.cfg in the main story folder.
Then inside a folder called "maps" you put in the "yourmapname.map" and the "yourmapname.hps"

If I Understood this was your question ...

Inside the custom stories folder, I have two other folders, one for each map i've got so far. Inside both of those folders, I have a maps folder, then the map the settings and extra english scripts. Do I need to put the scripts in a different folder?

In your .hps file, you want at least this much code.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
}

void OnEnter
{
}

void OnLeave
{
}

In your custom_story_settings, you want

Code: (Select All)

<Main     
    ImgFile = ""
    Name = "[Custom Story Name]"
    Author = "[Your Name]"

    MapsFolder = "Maps[Or however you have it spelled]"
    StartMap = "[Map to Start at, with .map extension]"
    StartPos = "[The playerstart area]"
/>

And in your extra_english, you're gonna want

Code: (Select All)

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">[The description for your custom story.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>  
</LANGUAGE>

at bare minimum.
