[Stage] Custom stage invisible wall?

[Coyote Starrk]

Hey all.
I'm REALLY new to LF data changing, and I've come across a problem that I don't know how to fix.
So I downloaded the bg file called "eruption", and added it to the data.txt right after the fire/ice place (4th stage). So now, the 5th stage is Eruption instead of that palace place. I actually enjoy this more, and would want to keep this, but as soon as I'm ready to go to stage 5-2, I can't. The character[/size][/font] just won't run through. How do I solve this?

Its because the background width is really small.
I you open "stage.dat" you will find out that the bound set for the last one in stage 5-1 is much larger than the actual width of the background and since you have to cross that boundary in order to access the next stage you will never be able to do so.

Solution: Decrease the boundary in "stage.dat". (for all 5-* stages, not just the last ones)

Err, didn't quite understand all that. I really am a newbie at dcing, could you explain like you would to a kid?

Check the stage data, you should see something like this:

Code:

<stage> id: 50  #Survival Stage
        <phase> bound: 1500  # phase 0   bandit
                music: bgm\stage4.wma
                id: 122  x: 100  #milk  ratio: 1
                id: 30 hp: 50  times: 1
                id: 30 hp: 50  times: 1  ratio: 0.7
                id: 30 hp: 50  times: 1  ratio: 0.3
        <phase_end>

For your problem, you need to look at "bound:" nex to the "<phase>" tag.
As Someone Else said, you need to decrease this "bound:" so it becomes smaller than the width of your background and thus actually reachable.

Yeh, Alec and I limited the size to 794 pixels which is exactly the effective window-width of LF2. So, in case you want to integrate this into stage 5, you are to set the bound for all phases within stage 5 (so every part under "id: 4x") to 794.
