Odd problems

[The Rock Worm]

When I go into the game, some of the wall's textures are one-sided. Meaning one side is solid and has the texture I am wanting (in this case, a cavern), but the other side is transparent and I can toss rocks through it. What's worse is: in my story, you awake from having fallen down this shaft; you should only see the inside of the shaft and not see the outside of the shaft (aka I can see the outer edges of the model). How can I fix these?

Another problem is I am uncertain how to add text to a note. In Amnesia, you picked up diary notes and letters, how can I replicate this?

The reason it's transparent is because the model is only textured/UV mapped on one side of a face. (e.g. the image will only show on the outside of a cube, but not the inside) It's not necessary to have the texture on both sides, as most of the time, you only look at one side (outside/inside) of a model... For example, walls. You go through the game looking at the textured side, the untextured side is facing the outside of the map, which will be unseen and only require more memory to load. If you must, put some extra work into placing primitives to cover up the transparent areas...

As for the notes, you need to make a "extra_english.lang" which can be made from notepad and saved as ".lang" rather than ".txt", so long as you type it at the end. study up:

Thanks for the level advice, it is good to know for future levels. I have redesigned my level to make it easier to cover the transparent areas.

I tried adding text to a note, and it still didn't work. I haven't even gotten the basic level description working. Can you give me a step-by-step instructions?
