importing walkbehinds

[12431]

I've tried to import a walkbehind, and when i did it says: "error: import doesn't have the same size".

but it has! it has got exactly the same size!
better fix this in the next version!

paste images of the background and the import walkbehind

I did! if i didn't, it wouldn't say what it said!

not sure if this is the problem but I had a game in 640 by 400 where I imported a 320 by 200 image for the background,

which in turn must scale it up to 640 by 400, cause I used the 320 by 200 image to make the mask to import and I think I got the same error you did,

so I changed the mask to 640 by 400 and it worked

Is the mask image in 16/256-colour?

[12431]

well, it's the same blue color you're supposed to use. but that isn't the problem here! it's 640 * 480, 16bit color. the pictures are the same size, but still it's f**ked up!

[Scorpiorus]

The mask must be in either 16-colour or 256-colour modes. 16bit wouldn't work.

[12431]

but that hasn't got anything to do with the size problem!!!

[Scorpiorus]

Calm down, buddy.

I have tried and all works fine!

Btw, on error AGS reports what size the mask has to had.

What AGS version?

[12431]

2.54. that's teh one i've started with

[Scorpiorus]

Then you should try the latest one 2.55 (don't forget to make a backup copy of the game)

Also as I said AGS should report the right size if the mask's one is wrong, something like:

"Error: import mask doesn't have the same size as background. Must be 640x480."

Check out what it displays for you.

P.S. And make sure you import a mask for the walk-behind area and not for hotspots instead.
