background problem

[javinasty]

hello.
i'm new in the forum, but i have a problem with my background.

when i choose an image, and press the play button; the game start to work but the background is black and start to blink with an strange image.

i don't know if it's the type of image, but i use bmp because i thought that it's the right type.

thanks in advance.

Images are generally .png format and not .bmp.

Also, make sure you import the image as the MAIN background image.

Yeah, instead of selecting "New image..." from the dropdown menu (which adds a second background frame and animates the background in-game), select the first background, ten click the "Change..." button next to it.
You can delete the second background by selecting it, then clicking the "Delete" button.

Btw, how to import/change the main background is described in the manual's tutorial, so you're kinda opening help threads already while not having done the tutorial first or at least not reading it properly...

While using BMPs won't make your game bigger (all images are stored using internal lossless compression), they certainly take up more hard drive space. Like slasher says, png is the best format for still images.

i use the png format, but the thing is in the button change. i have done whith "import new background".

thank you very very much.
