Title: My Background jumps slighlty
Post by: matredman on Sun 28/03/2004 22:30:54
Ok, its simple, its basic and I'm perplexed.

I've been making backgrounds/rooms alright up to about 4 , and import the same size for each new room. Now all of a sudden its decided to go odd.

Well, my plan is to have fixed screens for each room/scene and no scrolling. Well, now the rooms ive been making move just slightly when my character walks "up" and down again when he walks "down".

I know I'm being a thicky somehow, but can't find out how to sort it.

Sounds like the background graphics are slightly too tall.
Did you make them 320x240 for a 320x200 room perhaps?

Yes, its 206 somehow from 200 height originally. I changed the skippy images to 200 (upsetting all the hard work with walkable areas etc) and now its better. But the first 4rooms I ever made were also 206, and don't skip/move. So I guess I'll just have to count my blessings... cheers

If they don't move, it's probably because you defined the walkable areas in such a way that it won't cause a scrolling when the characters walk up and down. (For example if the character can never walk to the much lower part of the screen, it screen may not scroll down.)
