Scripting credits help

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to make my credits but it doesn't work. I made a map with a floor and a player start point and then on my screen is just that map and not any credits or something. This is the Credits.hps:
PHP Code: (Select All)
void OnStart() 

StartCredits("ending_daniel.ogg"false"Ending""MainCredits"101); 



This is my extra_english.lang
PHP Code: (Select All)
<LANGUAGE
<
CATEGORY Name ="Ending"
<
Entry Name="MainCredits">Here should be the Credits text but it doesn't work...</Entry> 
</CATEGORY> 
</LANGUAGE> 


Luke

RE: Scripting credits help

:\ not sure but try this:
void OnStart()
{
StartCredits("ending_daniel.ogg", false, "MyEnding", "MyMainCredits", 101);
}


<LANGUAGE>
<
CATEGORY Name ="MyEnding">
<
Entry Name="MyMainCredits">Here should be the Credits text but it doesn't work...</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>


You had an extra </CATEGORY> and I think MainCredits is also the name of the original's credits so try this

CURRENTLY WORKING ON:
Final Light = 40%
Need of voice actors.

RE: Scripting credits help

Whoeps sorry! That </CATEGORY> wasn't supposed to be in there but it's still not working. You have to give it the name Ending and MainCredits. Look at this page: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions

CTRL+F And then StartCredits

No, that's a mistake written in the Wiki. It is not required for them to be the same as the main game.

RE: Scripting credits help

Try putting more text on different lines, like this:

<Entry Name="MainCredits">This is a test
goodness look at all the tests being done
custom storyyy
</Entry>

This is what fixed it for me.

RE: Scripting credits help

It still doesn't work. I tried all of your answers:/

When I'm in Entrance hall.map I get the music I wanted to hear but the screen doesn't go black to show my credits:/ This is the Entrance hall.hps
PHP Code: (Select All)
void OnStart()
{
StartCredits("ending_daniel.ogg"false"Ending""MainCredits"101);


And this is the part in extra_english.lang
PHP Code: (Select All)
<LANGUAGE>
<
CATEGORY Name="Ending">
<
Entry Name="MainCredits">Here should be my Credits but it does not workIt does start playing the music I wanted but it does not go black to show this text</Entry>
