Title: Can you change the default position for imported backgrounds?
Post by: ZcheK on Wed 23/02/2011 16:26:29
When I import a 320 x 190 background into my 320 x 200 resolution game it defaults to having the image on top with a black space on the bottom. Is it possible to move the image down to have the black space on top, or to make this the default position to import it too.
At the moment I am just editing each image before importing to get around this.

Yes, there is a way to get around it. Make the background image the same size as the room. Add any padding you need yourself when making the image.

Yes, you aren't supposed to use background images smaller than the game's resolution.
That's like gluing wallpaper to the air several inches in front of the wall. Don't do it :)
