Lang file stopped working completely

Okay, so i just bumped into the most weird error i ever encountered while making my custom story.

I've been working on it for a long time now, and suddently everything concerning the .lang file stopped working.
I've tored the whole forum apart for 3 days of searching to find a solution to this problem and can't find anything regarding my error.

First thing i noticed when this happened was the custom story's description stopped showing up and instead popping up with "No Description". I've reinstalled the game with no luck, deleted the main_settings.cfg plus user_settings.cfg files with no luck, checked my lang file over and over including the .hps file. There is a few errors in the .hpl regarding an error that says it aren't able to load my .lang file.

Tryed diffrent types of solutions through the forum but none of them are working.

RE: Lang file stopped working completely

Well, the lang file seems to be allright.

First off, one of the entries are exceptionally long. What would happen if you tried leaving that one out of the lang file?
Second of all, I've never seen /s and \s mixed in a path, like here:
"C:\Users\Dutton\Documents/Amnesia/Main/Dutton"

The error is in your lang file:

You have a "<br>" instead of a "[br]". Try the following:

You may find it easier to use my lang editor tool than writing the files out manually (i used it to find the above error):

Well this is very embarrassing! it seems that the only problem there was, was the <br> tag that should be [br] instead.

I did download your Lang tool and it works like a charm! thank you ^^, will be using that from now on since it's WAY more easy to keep all tags right. Thank you guys this seemed to have fixed my problem.

I checked that language file through for 3 days and i simply couldn't find the error? daaaamn Blush
