Extra_english.lang problem.

**rjmcfarland** · 02-21-2012, 12:27 AM

Hello. I'm brand new to this whole "Amnesia Custom Stories" idea and I am actually doing pretty well. I only have 1 BIG problem. This is that my extra_english.lang doesn't seem to work properly. My hps file works fine (im using it for physics on doors) but no matter what I do in extra_english.lang it doesn't want to work. I bought it through Steam and I don't actually know anything about how to code these stories. I want to connect a few level doors and make notes (not diaries) and lock doors. Please help, thanks.

By the way a new extra_english.lang file would be great Smile

I don't have one that works i believe..

How about posting the contents of your extra_english.lang file?

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the syntax of the extra_english.lang file. However, it does imply that you don't understand how to make notes and inventory item information work. Inventory item entry names don't have suffixes like _Name or _Text, and note entry names don't have prefixes like ItemName_. Also, inventory item entry names for item descriptions don't have prefixes like ItemName_.

The names match the items.. The key name and description doesn't show up anymore so I know something happened.

Perhaps you could make some suggestions?

Study the note-related fields of the note entity and the item-related fields of the item entity.

They all match.. I don't understand why nothing shows up. The key doesn't read anything anymore which means something happened, but it still doesn't work.

Your assumptions are what is confusing you. By "study" i did not mean to verify if they matched; i already told you you don't have the note and item entry names done correctly. The text fields tell you what to do--study that.
