[SOLVED] The backgrounds I edit are... broken?

[ToadZ]

Hello! I am currently working on a Game Boy style (visually) episode. The problem is, that some of the backgrounds are weird, probably because of the paralax. Can somebody tell me, how I can fix this issue?

EDIT: How to solve the issue: find the background's config file in SMBX2/data/config/backgrounds and paste a copy into the Episode folder, then edit that copy.

how is the size of the background2?

It's one from the graphics folder in SMBX2. One screen wide and high, no changes to height. I simply repainted them.

What is the ID of that background?

background2-62, background2-69 and background2-69e

Now I see and understand. It looks like you used a parallax background. I'm new to this, but usually, if I use static backgrounds, I use backgrounds that don't use parallax. I suggest you change the ID and set your background to background2-6.

Once you've done this, send me a screenshot to see the result.

Evidently yes, I checked the files and it's using a parallax background. I don't know much about background 2.0 programming, but I do know what backgrounds I should use.

It's broken on other backgrounds. Because of the scalable ceiling, it causes it to wrap weirdly.

you're missing the fill-color config. it makes any area that the background image doesn't cover that color. most basegame backgrounds' configs (located in <X2 install>/data/configs/background) have fill-color set to the color that takes up the most space. if you don't feel like going to look at the basegame configs, it is formated like so: fill-color=#rrggbb. put it at the top of the file.

My sibling in Christ, I thank thee for this valuable information. It works perfectly now!
