Scrollable background: how?

Posted: November 3rd, 2013, 9:11 am

Hello,

I'm trying to make a simple scrollable background.
I'm quite confused on how to accomplish this. There seems to be two ways to manage a background:

1) Load a single TIM file representing the whole "world" and generate a GsSPRITE from the resulting GsIMAGE. I should manually manage the number of "tpage"of the sprite. Am I able to scroll a background created like this? How do I change the [u,v] values of the GsSPRITE when I "cross" from one texture page to another? Possibly this is the efficient solution if the background size is under the screen limits and I don't need to scroll?

2) Create a tileset of GsCELL items, build a GsMAP and put it in a GsBG. This is easily scrollable but I don't know if it's the right thing when I have a background that is a big landscape image (that's the idea).
How do I create a tileset map and "position" all the items in the right place? Orion_ does it in his tutorial but the map looks to be an opaque object, I don't understand how to create such a map object.

Please could anyone amend my statements and hopefully clear things up a bit for me (in the meanwhile I'll keep on RTFM...)?
I hope I could explain the matter clear enough.

thanks

the rectangle code can be replaced with your background image.
feel free to use my code

Also give a Try to this MapBuilder: http://rapidshare.com/share/34A2D16781A ... DA7F10C6CB

feel free to use my code
just stopped by to say thank you. Hope I'll have time this weekend to check your examples.
The background now is ok, but when I send to the framebuffer (GsSortSprite) another sprite I have a second "ghost" sprite appearing at [0,0]. This does not happen without background.
I need to go back to the blackboard and study the ordering tables usage better. I'm surely mixing up something with the priority or I'm not invoking DrawSync() at the right moment.
