Trying to do my first custom story

[DaBrain75]

As the title says, I'm trying to do my first custom story. However, I've already hit a wall. I can't seem to get the thing to show up. I'm sure the problems come up before, but a simple search couldn't find it. I've checked everything, and can't seem to find my problem.

This is my custom_story_settings.cfg

Name="test"
Author="Luis Rodero"
ImgFile=""

MapsFolder="maps/"
StartMap="test.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea"
/>

and this is my extra_english.lang




Just a test



I'm currently combing for mistakes, and I probably did do something dumb. Thanks in advance.

extra_english_lang.lang should look like this:
<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">A map made by Exawolt.[br][br]thanx for playing.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

---

if you dont yet have, you should make a .map file with a .hps textnote with the same name (basics)
and the hps will be like this at first:
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{

}



////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{

}



////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}
(it doesn´t have to look like this)

I'll make the corrections to the language file, but I didn't quite understand the second part of what you said.

all thats needed for a custom story: a map for it all, the settings.cfg, the language.lang , a .map file with a .hps file.
if you dont have these, it will not work

I can always test a map without making a .hps for it. A .hps is not necessary until you begin scripting.

Though, as stated in your OP, are you sure the StartPos isn't "PlayerStartArea_1"? Forgetting the "_1" could screw it up for you.

[DaBrain75]

I just changed it to "_1" to test it. It still didn't show up.

Do you have this in here:

<Main
Name="test"

Author="Luis Rodero"

ImgFile=""



MapsFolder="maps/"

StartMap="test.map"

StartPos="PlayerStartArea"

/>

[DaBrain75]

Just checked. Yes I have the main. Sorry, guess I didn't copy it right.

Author="Luis Rodero" are you trolling or something?? XD

[EXAWOLT]

do you receive error messages when starting your story? then tell us what it says
