Need help with parallax pictures

[Masterpouret]

Hello everyone, just started to use Rpg Maker and Mv one axtually. Seems they are a lot of possibilities. I thought of some ideas especially with background images which are used in maps you can create. However, I tried to add mines, but while Rpg maker MV detect them, but when I try to use them, screen is not filled with any picture at all. It's just blank as if I didn't use any picture and parallax then. Is there something special to do for adding background images in our games ? I didn't find any answers about that yet. Thank you in advance everyone.

You need to add them to the parallaxes folder, and then you need to choose them as the background image for your map, which is done in Map Properties (right-click on the map and choose Properties, or select the map and hit the space bar). If you also want to see it while you're in the editor, make sure the Show In Editor box is checked.

Thank you for your advices ! I did exactly what you did however when I load my background images and it was detected by rpg maker, but I can't see any background once loaded. Is it a problem of resolution from the picture ?

What sort of image is it? png? jpg? gif?


Can you show a screenshot of your Map Properties window and one of your img/parallaxes folder, and let us know which image it is?

Thank you so much for your explanations Shaz. In fact my pictures were jpeg files and I converted the file in PNG and now it works really nicely. Thank you really very much. I have many ideas I can bring to my game because of that now and it will add a lot of immersion I guess. Thank you very much again. About tileset and faceset or even character set, do you know where I could find good one ? Especially among Sci Fi style ? Thank you again.

That is another question and unrelated to this one (one issue per topic). MV has its own generator that will make characters and faces. And Sci-fi tiles and characters are included with the engine. Anything else that's available would have been made by the community, so look through the MV Resource forums, or make a request in the Resource Request forums.
