I think you have to delete the boss NPC or change it to something else.

And uh, make sure the boss runs event on death, and it's event number is 400.

Is it a legitimate shootable entity with an actual AI? Does it have flag 0x0200 set? You do need to actually delete it after the fight, if 0x0200 is set, BTW

OK. Thanks. Since this is my first boss battle (I'm experimenting)' I didn't really know what to do. Thanks for the help.

I mean, you could always look at the TSC used in the vanilla game for some examples on what you should be doing with them.

Make the picture > put it into data folder > name it whatever you want as long as it has the "bk" prefix.

Just change the original maps to your own.

Make the picture? (You mean to export it?)

EDIT: What if I want to use some original maps?

Then make an older map into an original map! What, do you want us to hold your hand while you do that?

 

Just make the background, save it in the data folder and save it as a .bmp file with "bk" in front of the name.
You can set the background to a map by opening said map, press map and then properties. The rest should be obvious.
Don't forget that setting scroll type to scroll type 4 will make hide the background, so don't forget to change that if it's set on 4.

Also, have you actually tried installing Java?

On said map, is the scroll type set on 4?
