Background doesn't apper!
I just finished my level, and it works just fine, however whenever I play it the background is nothing but black.
How do I get it to show my background pictures?

Re: Background doesn't apper!
It could be that you've added the background layers in the wrong order. Especially if one of your layers is entirely black. Try adding them in the opposite order and see if that fixes it.

Re: Background doesn't apper!
None of my backgrounds are solid black.
This is my first mod really, and I am really new to this stuff. How would I change the order of the layers?

Re: Background doesn't apper!
You just change the order that it's added in the code. I.E. For Grasslands, it's: Code: AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer CopyOf = Near Layer AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer CopyOf = Clouds Layer AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer CopyOf = Sky Layer
The near layer is the first one added, and it goes on top of each one added after it.

Re: Background doesn't apper!
I have the exact same problem, but it's not the order of the layers that is doing it. All I did was copy the base backdrops and edit them a bit. All I changed in the background code is the path of the file. I've attached it if you wanna give it a look.
edit: aha, figured out what the problem is! I tabbed wrong. That's probably what you did wrong too, so I hope you see this message.

Re: Background doesn't apper!
What do you mean by tabbed? as in indentation?

Re: Background doesn't apper!
What code do I need to define a single background image to a custom scene in v21? I tried to study other scene ini-files but it didn't help and I'm going nuts already.

Re: Background doesn't apper!
in scene.ini in base.rte there is a addscenelayer=scenelayer or something like that and you use that and all the stuff under it to get a background. You have to change the filepath though, and if you wanna change the speed or anything you can do that too.

Re: Background doesn't apper!
Sucks. I have it like this but it's black. Code: AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer PresetName = Street Near Layer AddToGroup = Near Backdrops DrawTransparent = 1 WrapX = 0 WrapY = 0 ScrollRatio = Vector X = 0 Y = 0 BitmapFile = ContentFile Path = Base.rte/Null.bmp
AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer PresetName = Street Clouds Layer AddToGroup = Mid Backdrops DrawTransparent = 1 WrapX = 0 WrapY = 0 ScrollRatio = Vector X = 0 Y = 0 BitmapFile = ContentFile Path = Base.rte/Null.bmp
AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer PresetName = Street Sky Layer AddToGroup = Far Backdrops DrawTransparent = 0 WrapX = 0 WrapY = 0 ScrollRatio = Vector X = 0 Y = 0 BitmapFile = ContentFile Path = Street.rte/Scenes/StreetBack.bmp I'm making a one-screen map. (800x600)

Re: Background doesn't apper!
It's because you have two null backdrops in front of it. You really don't need to have any code there at all, just cut the first 2 backgrounds out.

Re: Background doesn't apper!
If it's just one image, take out the line AddToGroups. My one image scene background works that way anyway.
