Okay well I tested it the way you suggested, and it worked, but only the first time I entered the area. How do I get it to show every time I enter the area?

Do I have to change between dev mode and move the files every time I want to test lang file messages?

Read my edited post. There is only a way to see if a function is working. Does anything else like your description on your Custom Story work?

Try testing it while not in Dev Mode. I know for some reason, my messages don't show up in dev_mode. Don't know why... It just doesn't.

Yes, but only when playing the custom story version.

You're a bit late, I've already confirmed that it works while not in dev mode.

I find it irritating that it doesnt >.<

Are you making a total or full conversion? I have no idea why it is not working. If it helps my category name is "Messages" and the Entry name is "Hint". Once again, I don't think that has anything to do with it but it's worth a shot.

I don't know what either of those terms mean. I get the message to display only when playing the custom story, and not while testing the map while in dev mode. The message only shows when I enter the area for the first time, not any times after that.

That's because you put at the end 1 in the callback in void OnStart(). Change it to a -1 and it will replay every time you go in it.

Ah, okay thanks.
