message help

[eagledude4]

Do the other message show up in-game? If they do, something is wrong in the script or name of category/entry... If not, something is wrong in the "extra_english.lang" But I don't see an error in it, which makes me wonder if the other messages show up.

I'm testing in dev mode, so I don't get a chance to see the other messages. My extra_english.lang is in my custom_stories/Test directory, if that makes a difference.

It needs to be in your Custom Story folder, not the custom_stories directory.
I.e. Redist/custom_stories/YourCustomStory <--

Is that the issue?

It is in there, sorry I didn't describe the location properly.

Your issues baffle me... O.e Have you figured it out yet?

Help please?

Can you post your updated .lang file as well as your .hps file?

.hps:

NOTE: The lang file is in my redist/custom_stories/Test folder, while the map I'm testing with, along with the .hps file is in redist/maps/Custom, so that may be the issue.

I'm pretty sure that you not having the .lang file in the directory of your Custom Story is the problem, move the .lang over to your Custom Story folder for now and see if it works.
