Hi, is there a way to change the background to add some image or parallax movements background?
Hey Starfall, here’s the steps for that:
-
Drop your image into img/parallaxes/ in your project. That’s the folder the plugin loads from — anything you’d normally use as an RPG Maker parallax works.
-
Open Plugin Manager → PlatformerForge and set: Parallax Background → pick your image file. Parallax Scroll Rate → controls the movement. 0 = fixed/static (image doesn’t move with the camera), 1 = moves fully locked to the camera (no parallax feel), and something like 0.35 gives that nice slow drift where the background lags behind the foreground. (Vertical movement is automatically half of this rate, so it feels natural when the camera rises.)
-
Hit ▶ Play to see it — the parallax does not render on the editor canvas, only during play. If you leave the Parallax Background blank, the plugin draws a built-in dark-blue gradient sky as a fallback, so you’ll always have something back there.
— If you struggle seeing it after these steps you might get an error in the console due to Size or Resolution of the image/animations itself. If that’s the case take that error message + the file and put it into an LLM with the prompt “Fix the coding for this specific error”; then you should be able to reload it onto your specific machine’s requirements.
Hope this helps, cheers!
