So you were trying to set up a dev environment?

I personally would change it back mostly because it never exactly works the way I want it to work. :/

This is what mine looks like:

<Main ShowMenu="true" ExitMenuDirectly="false" SaveConfig="true" DefaultProfileName="dev_user" UpdateLogActive="false" LoadDebugMenu="true" StartLanguage="english.lang" ScreenShotExt="jpg" ShowPreMenu="false" ForceCacheLoadingAndSkipSaving="false" />

<Engine LimitFPS="true" SleepWhenOutOfFocus="true" />

<Sound Device="0" Volume="1.000000" MaxChannels="32" StreamBuffers="4" StreamBufferSize="262144" />
<MapLoad FastPhysicsLoad="false" FastStaticLoad="false" FastEntityLoad="false" />

And

<Game ShowCommentary="false" ShowCrossHair="true" FocusIconStyle="Default" ShowDeathHints="true" ShowSubtitles="true" ShowEffectSubtitles="false" ShowHints="true" />
<Debug ShowFPS="false" ShowSoundPlaying="false" ShowPlayerInfo="false" ShowEntityInfo="false" SaveCheckPointOnMapLoad="false" ShowDebugMessages="true" UseProgLog="false" ScriptDebugOn="true" InspectionMode="false" DisableFlashBacks="false" DrawPhysics="false" ReloadFromCurrentPosition="true" AllowQuickSave="false" />

Thank you very much!
until later!

[Kyle]

wow it works! ^^
Thank you very much!
until later!

Are you translating this from English to German?

[mr.bonent]

because of "until later" ? ^^

[Kyle]

I don't know. :/

I was kind of bored and I noticed that it says german.lang

:p

[mr.bonent]

whats with the files .lang, .png and others? Do I need other files like this?
how should I continue?

greets

[Kyle]

.lang is at the end of a language pack.
.png is at the end of a picture.

A custom story has many endings involved.

There are the .hps which are script files
There are the .lang for example: extra_english.lang
There are the .cfg for configuration for example: custom_story_settings.cfg
There are the .map which are for map files
There are the .map_cache which store map data
