Hi, I tried to add a custom bg, but if i try to access it via
Code: Select all
<text back="BG_ANT_HOME" planet="NONE">This is the Anterian Home World. Enjoy.</text>
it doesnt load it, but just a random background
I then loaded it directly with
Code: Select all
<img back="BG_ANT_HOME" planet="NONE"/>
which worked... but it crashed the game once I pressed jump... no clue why.
could it be that 2times loading the same image crashes the game, since I ofc loaded that even 20 times?

I believe u need to declare it on the events_imagelist.xml file, where u specify the size of the image and something like that.

did that.
I really think it comes down to the fact that in order to test the event I spawn it 20 times. And I tried it: if you load 2 times the same bg image it crashes the game wtf. So I made it a quest and traveled to it: no problem at all. So I guess I can use a new custom bg only once.

Maybe, maybe not. I discovered that FTL engine is so crappy that will crash / bug for the most stupid reason. Something similar, when u make event codes. I dont think thats the problem, i really think u must be able to load the same background more than once, but i never tried to use custom backgrounds yet, so i wouldn know..
