Level Editor issue....

[DarkDragonGamer]

Hi! I have recently downloaded and installed the level editor, I moved all of the files and applications into the redist folder. When I launch up the level editor I get the Blackbox. I have the pdb file and the SDL.dll files but it still doesn't work correctly. Please help!

Could you post the file Documents\HPL2\LevelEditor.log ?

This right?

[Mudbill]

Looks like EntityTypes.cfg might be missing. Can you find that file in /editors?

[DarkDragonGamer]

Where could I find it? I can't seem to find it

[Ashtoreth]

If your game is from Steam: "Steam\SteamApps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\editor"

If retail: "Amnesia - The Dark Descent\redist\editor"

[DarkDragonGamer]

Oh well in that case no there isn't a /editors

[PutraenusAlivius]

Reinstall the Level Editor.

[Ashtoreth]

Oh well in that case no there isn't a /editors

You should look for a file named 'EntityTypes.cfg' inside the 'editor' folder. That's the file that seems to be missing.

Or do you mean there's no 'editor' folder?

Where did you download your Level Editor from?

You should only download the respective Level Editor suitable for your operating system from here, to guarantee the compatiability with your Amnesia: https://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tools/start

The archived file contains all the necessary files required to work all the developer tools. Copy all of them, including the folders, to your redist folder. Ashtoreth specified how to get there in her post above.
