How do i create backgrounds?

Well,i need a little help with the backgrounds. I wanted to put one of my hack,following the steps,putting the background,but the result was...A messed up background!Can anyone help me with this kind of problem?

 

What tools were you using to create the background?

 

What tools were you using to create the background?


Actually,I´m using Soned2.

 

I don't know about other people. But my tools to edit/create awesome backgrounds are:


- Windows MS Paint


- SonEd2


- Debugens or Gens+ (Just for rip tiles for bmp without sprites)


Just this. I get my backgrounds from some background websites (or i rip from the games using DebuGens) and i split all the background (in BMP) into 8x8 tiles and i edit one-per-one... then, i edit one per one in SonED2. Sincerely, i think it's only the unique way to create great backgrounds for your hack.


For someones i used EsrSE. But just for rare cases (GHZ2 bg was made using Esrael's ASM Edit level tile editor).


I don't know if exist other proccedures, but this is my way.

 

your both using SonED2 it seems so I can't help because I'm using SonED2 to but I haven't tried to port/make backgrounds yet.
