That's happens to me when I'm trying to steal other's ideas Smile

One of causes, could be, your Amnesia and HPL Level Editor version is not 1.3 (this version supports fbx model file format (I suggest to use .dae to make them accesible), maybe your version is 1.2 or 1.1 and it considers map corrupt and it's crashing) Let us know, only one map is crashing, or all? Try to open original Amnesia Game map.

I suggest to use this link :

Maybe, the map you are trying to open, doesn't have necessary resources, maybe you've been tried to open another kind of map,custom stuff, like my Utopia mod, but you don't have the normal access to map's resources. Causes could be many.

1. Could it be, your map is in desktop location, and this map can not find asset's path.
2. Wrong exported model.(Only if you/or other guy Smile

did a mistake when he added a new stuff into this map). - this one is the most low expected cause.
3. Maybe, you took some maps from one CS and put them into yours, and the path of map objects is custom and objects need to be right in that directory which keeps your maps (I suggest to use all your assets in one Custom Story map, dont try to steal it from somewhere Smile

)

Good luck, if you this one wouldn't help, let us know, and one of us will assist your problem

I think, you are using textures as walls, this is the problem, I've encountered problem like this, you just have to find all these objects by id, and to remove, change, recreate...

Lots of errors. I don't know which are actually note-worthy though. Look through them and see if you can fix as many as possible. If you use custom entities, make sure they're all within the scope of the resources.cfg file, like in the /entities folder.

You're trying to open a map which contains a lot of custom assets.

Quote:Loading file C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Amnesia The Dark Descent/Enigma_Demo_1.0/maps/Main_Intro_Lighthouse.map

First add this directory -marked in red- to [Amnesia Dir]/resources.cfg before trying to open it.

PHP Code: (Select All)

<Directory Path="/Enigma_Demo_1.0" AddSubDirs="true" />

It is fine to use my assets and so on, just please IF you use some credit me, making stuff such as texturing new walls and such take a L O T of time!

Also remember to check the folder names, and credit everyone who's assets you will using.
Just to show respect.
