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?

save/export/write to disk/physically enforce it to exist

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?

Thanks for the better explanation Miccs.

 

To clear things up; my question isn't "How do I make a completely new background and put it in a map". My question is "How do I make backgrounds for new maps work?"

 

How do I make backgrounds for new maps work?

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

use booster's lab

 

Holy fuck you guys
VB if I remember correctly, using the "copy" action instead of "new" will let you duplicate a map with the background intact. Then you just gotta edit the map to your liking

Thank you. No one actually answered this. They just said edit the old maps. Thank you.

 

I'm pretty sure mine and Noxid's answers were valid, you were just dense.

Well maybe his computer can't handle java.

oh those java intolerant computers, they're so problematic at times

 

I've got another quick question. How do I make it so if you drown in a room, you don't die? I want to make it read other scripts like after drowning it fades in and another character says he fished you out or something.

 

I've got another quick question. How do I make it so if you drown in a room, you don't die? I want to make it read other scripts like after drowning it fades in and another character says he fished you out or something.

First, set a flag to indicate that you don't want to die when you drown. Then open up the global script Head.tsc, and go to event #0041. Set a flag jump so that when your flag is set, it will do something different from what normally happens when you drown, such as fading out and transitioning to another room for a cutscene.

Thank you!

EDIT: It doesn't work. Where do I set the event to jump to? The map's script or the Head TSC script?

EDIT: I figured out it was in Head TSC. But when I do a <TRA command to a specific room you can't see the player character at all and you can't move.

Use <SMC, that's what it's there for.

 

I thought that didn't work or something cause the player is dead.

While we're talking about this, where is the player drowned sprite?

 

Caret.bmp

Wasn't that question answered before?

 

I made a clone map of Mimiga Village, but the camera doesn't follow the player. I tried every scroll type.
