Hi
SOLVED: I forgot to include a background picture as well as the object background. ::)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure if this is the right place but here goes..
I created Room 4 as normal (320 x 240). It is set up as other rooms.
I started the snow/rain plugin.. Room 4 now has a black strip across the top and bottom!
I took out all plugin code but Room 4 still the same.
Room 4 only has only 1 object which is a scrolling background.
Anyone know possible causes/remedy?
cheers

I'm guessing that you're using a full-screen, non-interactable, animating object in this room? If so, I feel pressed to ask, are you using more than 5 frames in this animation?
Unless you answered yes to both of those questions, then I smell something very ridiculous going on in your game project. For the record, the default blank room template is made at 320x200 resolution. You can supply your own blank room template by naming a copy of a blank room as "blank.crm" in your project folder, but otherwise you'll need to make sure you have room backgrounds or your non-320x200 games will have issues (quirks).
Hi Monkey
I did not realise that without a background image the room default background template is 320x200 and i'm using 320x240.
Once I did select an image for the background things were ok.
I then put an identical image (1000x240 which is an object) as background image on the top and have it scrolling left to simulate background movement (sky.. There are no animating frames.) other objects move as per background to also simulate movement via paths.
In other words its a type of side scrolling game.
thanks for the knowledge monkey
