Need help with Custom Story death hints - Andris - 05-23-2019
To make death hints in my Amnesia Custom Story I created a new category called "Hints" in extra_english.lang file and added some entries. But when I started the map, a debug message was shown: "Couldn't load language file extra_english.lang". All notes in the map were blank and main Custom Story description was missing. I removed the "Hints" category and placed entries in a "CustomStoryMain" category but it didn't work as well. Everything works fine without "Hints" category.
I use SetDeathHint() function so it doesn't really matter where you put your death hints, I guess.
I am pretty new to Custom Story creation therefore any help is appreciated.

You must've written the Hints category using wrong syntax. If you have an error in the lang file, it fails to load and thus all text becomes blank.
If you paste here what you tried to add, maybe we can see the issue.

Code:
<CATEGORY Name="Hints">
<Entry Name="01ToxicGas">Run and do not stop!<Entry/>
<Entry Name="01SteamLeakage">Be Careful...<Entry/>
<CATEGORY/>RE: Need help with Custom Story death hints - Mudbill - 05-24-2019
You placed the slashes incorrectly. It's supposed to be /Entry and /Category, not Entry/ and Category/. Put them before.
