RE: Abduction: Chapter 3 [RELEASE]

*sigh* Confused
More problems, and I'm sorry if this has been asked / fixed (I'm blind)
I get an error when trying to start the game,
Quote: FATAL ERROR: Could not load script file
'custom_stories/Abduction/custom_stories/Abduction/maps/Ch01/Custom1.hps'!'
main (107,9) : ERR : Expected expression value

I don't think "custom_stories/Abduction/custom_stories/Abduction/" is an appropriate path, but I've no idea how to change that.

RE: Abduction: Chapter 3 [RELEASE]

I did not get this error starting a brand new Abduction story.

Did you delete the Abduction folder if you had it before? Then extract it there.

Or, you haven't put Abduction folder in the custom_stories folder. Seems to me that that directory is off. Your file placement should look like this:

Amnesia: The Dark Decent - redist - custom_stories - Abduction - (then the files, maps folder etc)

Couldn't recreate the damn backslash on this keyboard...
going off for now, just be sure everything is in its right place.

I can't confirm that error either. I could play through the first part without problems.

RE: Abduction: Chapter 3 [RELEASE]

I would do what Elexyr said, and delete all Abduction files, and download this:

That is the most recent update with, as far as I know, no bugs.

Yep I've deleted and re-downloaded every new version as they've come out.
My directory looks exactly like that. (I'm not a total newb Big Grin) But it seems the file is trying to read a faulty directory.
Hmm... This is bugging me, I really wanted to try this.

RE: Abduction: Chapter 3 [RELEASE]

Hrmm...I really don't know how to solve a faulty directory. So the game is reading the story, but not actually playing it properly? Because on line 107, there is only one character and that is a {, so it isn't the hps file that is the issue.

RE: Abduction: Chapter 3 [RELEASE]

Hmmm I feel like I am really missing something. I have never played abduction before and decided to install the full 1.0.2 version. I moved the story to my custom stories folder and started it up. But unlike the videos I've seen I end up in a fight between Alexander and Daniel...could this be chapter 3, am I not installing correctly, or did you just change the beginning?

EDIT: Seems the custom story config was this:

MapsFolder = "maps/Ch03"
StartMap="Finalbattle.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"

I edited the file into this:

MapsFolder = "maps/Ch01"
StartMap="Custom1.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"

No, that was my mistake that I have fixed, but ModDB has not authroized. You did it correctly, Custom1 is the first map in the series, sorry for the error.

Sorry about the interval between my responses (busy...)
Yeah, I noticed that it was only a bracket, so that wasn't it. It appears to just be reading the directory incorrectly, for whatever reason...
My friend gave me a save from a little later into the game (I missed a little bit, but oh well) and I can say that I LOVE this mod. Scared me a few times and the puzzles are actually... puzzling.
Nice work Big Grin
