ImgFile="TrollFace.jpg"

MapsFolder = "maps/"
StartMap = "01_original.map"
StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"

Hmm try that
I think it's the spaces inbetween the MapsFolder="stuffs" and thingies
You see it fast.
WRONG
Name="The Asylum"

CORRECTED
Name = "The Asylum"

If it doesn't work reply

Also make sure the name of it is this
-
custom_story_settings.cfg

-
Yes I realize I'm a mess with the forums things

Feel free to copy and change up some things.
I also have a folder next to those files called
"sounds"
"entities"
"maps"
"music"
Be sure to have maps folder with all of the levels within

**Xanthos** · 03-28-2012, 02:11 AM

amnesia the dark descent > custom_stories > "NAME OF STORY" > maps

make sure that you dont have hidden extenson files i had youre problem but it turned out it was still a .txt doc which meant the game didnt think it was a .cfg doc so i showed all extension files and deleted the hidden .txt make sure you do that hope this works Smile

**mrscoomich** · 04-01-2012, 02:16 AM

you have got your map.hps file in the wrong place it should be in the maps folder with your map not with the .lang and .cfg file move the .hps file to your maps folder and it should work Smile
