Problem with Diaries

[rmdashrf]

Hi,

I've followed the examples in Amnesia and am attempting to create my own diary page.

I used diary_paper01 from the Entities menu and set it to active.

For the DiaryText property, i set it to "test"

In my extra_english.lang, I have the following set.

Code: (Select All)

<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
    
        <Entry Name="Diary_test_Name1">Diary Test 1/3</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Diary_test_Text1">Test test test</Entry>

    </CATEGORY>

When I picked up the diary page, the page does not pop up but the text does appear when you navigate to your Diary Entries (via Tab).

I tried adding a DiaryCallback and set ReturnOpenJournal(true), but that doesnt work.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance

Try not putting the numbers after the _Name and _Text entry parts. Dunno if it'll help or not.

Here's an example of a portion of a note I have in my map.

Code: (Select All)

<Entry Name="Note_Log1_Name">Log of Castle Exploration</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_Log1_Text">October 9th, 1825[br][br]I am quite perplexed as to why so many...

<Entry Name="Diary_test_Name1">Diary Test 1/3</Entry>
<Entry Name="Diary_test_Text1">Test test test</Entry>

Move the number 1 from Name and Text to right after test like test1 or test_1. then write test1/test_1 in the diary_paper01 properties.

The entire point of a diary is to be able to tell a story non-linearly. In Amnesia, you are able to pick up diary entries which will continue from the previous entry even if you miss one.

According to the Level Editor, my syntax is right; they use 'Diary_'+DiaryText+'Name'+IDX (idx being the counter). Once again, let me emphasize that my entires are displaying properly when you manually access it from Dianel's Journal; it is just not appearing when you first click on it.
