Character select screen as a normal stage

Mr.Q!

Well-known member
So, they say we can do this now, since i don't really know, heh, been away from some time, but the thing is if I set the background image to scroll repeatedly like a bike / moving truck stage, the background image doesn't move at all. Is this possible? Because I tried usinf Direction Right & bgspeed 5 , for example an it didn't.

You set background image to scroll repeatedly but at same time you want it not moving at all  :o  :o
What exactly you want here? :)
 
i do want it to scroll repeatedly like those stages I mentioned, think about TMNT Skate stages, or any random Bike type stage. What I mean is if I set it to move automatically with bgspeed and direction, it doesn't move at all.

PS: I also wrote this in the select character .txt so I won't get shadows for the selectable characters in that section/stage specifically, but doesn't work either:

light  0 0
at  0
shadowcolor -1
at  0
shadowalpha -1
at  0
 
these functions aren't available in a select.txt - you'd have to use skipselect function and script the entire menu and select screen yourself.  This is what the feature was meant for.  The only people to have managed to do this thou is untunnels & White_Dragon.

Are you using bglayer?
BTW you can't control autoscrolling direction with direction and bgspeed only takes positive value. You'll need to combine this with bglayer to control the direction
 
To remove shadows from your select screen on all characters have a quick frame at the start of each players wait animation with "@cmd changelight 99999 99999" just before the first frame and have a short delay like 1 just for the first frame.

If your confused a example can be found on my tutorial : http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?topic=799.msg6884#msg6884

Sorry but i cant help with the scrolling background.
 
Mr Q, are you trying to set bgspeed in select screen? if you do, that wont' work. I made special section for select screen in manual to emphasize that the only accepted commands are the ones in that section
