Funny thing is that if I copy paste a AddEffectVoice from the original game, it will work just fine, as it should. Like I thought earlier, it HAS to do something with my full conversion.

Here are resources.cfg of my mod:

EDIT

Yep, it does have something to do with the full conversion itself. As I said earlier, if I copy paste the line from the original game, it will work fine, but whenever I customize it to match my own stuff, it crashes upon entering the ScriptArea that is meant to start the dialogue.

Which value exactly is causing the crash?

The whole thing basically

PHP Code: (Select All)

AddEffectVoice("placeholder", "", "Voices", "CH02L03_Richards01", true, "Area_Focus", 5, 10);

Even if I remove the area, or the voice placeholder and simply leave only 1 value it will still crash, the whole function crashes it.

To make sure your resources.cfg it's correct, duplicate the original from Amnesia and add the directories custom stories and ObsessedByCruelty.

PHP Code: (Select All)

<Directory Path="/ObsessedByCruelty" AddSubDirs="true" />
<Directory Path="/Custom Stories" AddSubDirs="true" />

You just need one for your mod.

Now with your Effect Voice problem, change one value at a time until the wrong one cries.

I've kept changing the values, and when I removed the asTextCat (which was "Voices") it didn't crash, however since the category was removed, the entry couldn't been shown. So it has to be something wrong either with the .lang file itself, or the full conversion base I have.

The resources.cfg now looks like this:

No, dude - my .lang file is full of stuff Big Grin

I just posted my voices category as an example, and removed the rest of the text. Anyways, i'll see with the resources thing

EDIT

Allright, I made the change to the resources as you suggested, Lange, and it sitll does not work. I'm running out of ideas how to fix this.
