custom_story_settings.cfg

This file is the main entry file for a custom story (mod) for Amnesia TDD. It exists within each CS's own folder inside <root>/custom_stories. The file is an XML document that looks like so:

<Main
    Field="Value"
/>

Here are all possible fields that can be specified in the Main element:

Field	Default value	Required	Description
Name		*	The name of the custom story itself as shown in the in-game menu
Author	"Anonymous"		The name of the author who created the custom story
ImgFile			A file name pointing to an image file that can be used to render a background in the main menu.
MapsFolder	"maps/"		The folder where your levels are loaded from. Recommended to keep as "maps/".
StartMap		*	The name of the first level that is loaded upon clicking "Start new game" in the main menu.
StartPos	"PlayerStartArea_1"		The internal name of a PlayerStart type area within the above level. If empty or not matching, the game will use the first alphabetical start area.
ExtraLangFilePrefix	"extra_"		A prefix applied to all language files that this story uses. If unspecified, it falls back to the default "extra_". This field can include forward slashes to represent folders.
DefaultExtraLangFile	"english.lang"		The default language file to load. This is appended to the above prefix, making the default language file "extra_english.lang".
InitCfgFile			A relative path to a main_init.cfg file. Specifying this field transforms the custom story into a total conversion mod.
