Post subject: Optional gfx problem...

I have put the + sign in front of the .lvz that I am using for a background, and now when people join, regardless of using optional graphics there is no background. Anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it? Thanks.

try it with no + sign. If that doesnt work, post your lvl file code and maybe someone can point out the errors. Could be something like this

Code: Show/Hide

WRONG:
Outfile=blah.lvz

File=a1.bmp
File=commands.hlp

IMAGE0=a1.bmp

[mapobjects]
100,100,IMAGE0,AfterTiles,ShowAlways

CORRECT:
Outfile=blah.lvz

File=a1.bmp
File=commands.hlp

[objectimages] ;<---Joo Need This!
IMAGE0=a1.bmp

[mapobjects]
100,100,IMAGE0,AfterTiles,ShowAlways

Leaving out those tags will give you the no images showing result, but if thats not the case, post the code

first line should be "outfile=nameofyourchoice.lvz", not "file=grassbg.bmp"

the "+" is to be placed before the name of the .lvz file in the .cfg

eg. "levelfiles=+nameofyourchoice.lvz" in the [misc] section of your .cfg

what doesn't work, exactly?

is the file named "backgr~1.lvz" or are you attempting to use window's stupid shortening system?

did you upload the .lvz to the server for your zone?

did you add it to misc:levelfiles= of your .cfg?

did you put a + before the file name in the misc:levelfiles= list?

did you personally test it with optional level graphics on AND off?

are you (or whoever is testing) using Continuum, or SubSpace?

I believe that you need a X coordate > 0. I made a lvz file from what he had and had the same results, my server works fine.

Code: Show/Hide

outfile=background.lvz

File=grassbg.bmp

[objectimages]
IMAGE0=grassbg.bmp,1,1,100

[mapobjects]
0,1632,IMAGE0,AfterBackground,ShowAlways

1st number is the X coord and 2nd number is Y coord, if you have X=0 then its not on the map. So try like 300 in that place and mess around a bunch of times until you get it where you want it, after that you can do the math of where each object should be placed next
