problem with stage mode

[Daymio]

i am having littl' problem on my stage mod...

i play everythin normal until 3-1...

when i finish that level GO sign shows up to go to next lvl.

but...
when i come to end of bg it keeps running on the same spot...like there is a invisible wall wich is stopping me to go next...

here is the code if it helps:

Code:

pls. help me...

OR I WILL KILL YOU

( LOL I'M JUST KIDDING A BIT,NO OFFENCE )

[MH-Razen]

bound: 1000 - do you use the origianl backgrounds? if not is your background less then 1000 px wide?

[Silverthorn]

I've been experiencing that, too. In general, you should always use smaller bounds than your BG is wide. The logic behind it is actually quite simple (pseudo-code FTW ):

if(player.x-coord < bound) do_nothing;
else goto.nextStage;

What I'm trying to say is this: you need to surpass the bound-value by going to the right side. However, because the width of the background prevents you from advancing any further, you're not able to trespass x: 1000. Means: you won't be able to trigger the go-to-next-stage command.

bla.

[mda]

this i used to have problem with it but i know how it works now ..
try and make sure the bound is not larger or smaller than your background..and also try and make the last bound the same bound number as the background .....sorry if am wrong am doing this on an empty mine just try it and see if am right..

[WoodySmasher]

Never use bounds that are two long then ur BG. U can see width in BG's data. Like this

name: Lion_Forest
width: 3200 zboundary: 365 505

Width: 3200 never exceed it.


Another tip

Never use same bound twice like u use bound: 1000 and another bound: 1000 after it. It cause problems and u can't go to next stage.

[Lord Anu]

It's not the original backgrounds... we tried to set the code: bound, I don't even remember how many times, and it always fail
And I think that backgrounds in stage 3,4 & 5 are less than 1000 px wide.
But I added again in stage 3 the original background(Great Wall), and it don't works anyway!
why is that?

[WoodySmasher]

Dude if ur using custom bgs look at it's data

name: The_Great_Wall
width: 2400 width of great wall is 2400 that means no bound should be above this value. Like this look at ur bg data and change the bounds in the stage.

[Lord Anu]

I did it!!! Finally!!! Thank you guys, especially to you WoodySmasher...
Now we can finish this game...
