Can't start my custom story.

Okay, i made a very small map without nothing special. Just furniture, and then I followed up this tutorial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmgPJ2Hf-...re=related

And i did everything exactly as it is in the video and when i go ingame i have my custom story there, but when i click on it to see the description, the screen turns black and then it says it had an error and then ihad to close trought the task bar.

I watched the vidoe more then 10 times checking everything by letter and it's completly equal!! I don't understand what's wrong.

Any Solutions?

are you sure they're named custom_story_settings.cfg and extra_english.lang? and not custom_story_settings.cfg.text and extra_english.lang.text? windows sometimes tends to do that, it happened to me once too.
