Hi Guys
I have managed to upload a background and put a character in it. But when I test the room, It only shows my character. I have to run the cursor across the entire room to get it to show up. Any idea's why this is and how I can stop it?
You mean you've imported the background into AGS?
How big is it (in pixels)? What's your game's resolution?
320 by 200
What colour depth is it?
I think if the background image is the wrong depth, it appears all blue except where the mouse has been. Is this what's happening for you?
Yes thats what is happening. How do I solve it. I dont know what you mean by depth btw
The number of colours you can use in the game.
This problem probably means your game is set to 8-bit (256 colours), but your background is saved higher. If you don't understand - or just don't want to worry about - palettes, just increase the depth of your game to 16-bit ('Game' menu from the toolbar, 'Change game color depth' - or, you can do it from the 'Palette' window). Alternatively, re-save your backgrounds as 256-colour images. (How to do this varies, depending on what program you use - DON'T ASK HERE.)
And please, try to use more descriptive titles for you posts in the future.
That has solved the problem. Thank you very much.
