Can't get item description/name [SOLVED]

Hey I just started makeing my own custom story. I use the dev_user and i got all my files in \maps\main\Test1 (I use steam) get it running and all but it doesnt show the name or description of my key

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">blahblah</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
<Entry Name="ItemName_castlekey"> Castle key</Entry>
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_castlekey"> A simple key.</Entry>

</CATEGORY>

</LANGUAGE>

I named the key in leveleditor general: castle_key_1
and in entity CustomSubItemTypeName: castlekey

Does it matter if the files are in main/maps/test1 or /custom_game/test1/? like can't i see the description because i am in dev_user? Huh

Please help

Have you tried naming the entity in game as castlekey as well?

RE: Can't get item description/name

Edit: It seems i can only see the itemname and description when I play it on a normal user.
when i use dev_user i cant see name/desc. Have i typed in wrong settings maybe?

Using dev_user doesn't cause problems for me. Make sure you actually start the custom story from the main menu, not just load it up through the debug menu when you're in the retail story or a different mod.
