NEED HELP WITH .LANG

[pandasFTW]

hi all! so, please respond, this is all i need to get my custom story right! i seem to have a problem, i have a key... with a name and description , which works fine, then i add the note, with name and desc, under the "Journal" category, but when i do that, both the key and the note appear blank!?!?!?!??! its so damn frustrating... because i,ve done everything the tutorials told me to :'( i,ll send my .lang file if anyone can spot what's wrong
secondly, how do i make a locked door say, like " its locked, there must be a key somewhere " or something like that when i try to open it? because when i try, it just appears blank.. I... NEED... HELP! come on please! my first custom story, i,m so proud, aside from these two fahking things

oh and i,ll be looking for beta testers too, once i get this note, sh*t working
hoping to hear from someone, as i am just about to piss my pants in frustration, over this xD

peace out

Did you put theletter in the area Notetext of the entity tab of the note?

And, another question, does the description still there? If not, you did something wrong.

Also i want to be an beta tester if want ^^ (I also have an Custom Story to work on. But i can test)

i,d love to have you as a beta tester! but dont expect anything fancy, as it is my first custom story, and i just through i,d let you know that i,d love feedback, but criticism like, " you could have made it scarier" or " more special effects " will just hurt my feelings, because i,m actually quite proud of my work. of course i think i can do alot better now, but its my first custom story and i had really NO skill when i started working on this, feedback = awsome... criticism of my scripting : bad

oh my gosh, i feel like i,m spamming this, but i,m just so excited, that i might actually continue working on my story! thank you, the note works now. but now its just doors, like " the door is locked, maybe there is a key somewhere " or something, when i try to open it... and level doors, like " cellars" or something... please

Make sure the note is named "Note_theletter" in level editor //JHM

No, not Note_theletter, that would make it Note_Note_theletter_Name and things, it just has to be theletter

EDIT: If you want i can maybe help you scripting, i'm very good in those kind of things =)

EDIT 2: You can't add an Description to level doors, only the name. It says in the entities tab the Focus name and category thing, if you have your crosshair over it, it will display whats in it, its quite simple actually, just in the category thing you put Door. and in the text thing you put leveldoor_1

Now in extra_english.lang you put this

Code: (Select All)

<CATEGORY Name="Door">    <Entry Name="leveldoor_1">doorname here!</Entry></CATEGORY>

Its that simple.
