Hi I'm new to impact so I apologize if I'm asking an old question. So, I'm building a side scrolling game and I have a 970x450 .jpg that I want to scroll in the background. With the weltmeister editor I see that I can create a background layer, paint in some tiles and check repeat to do this sort of thing. But is there a built in way to scroll large images?

Make a layer with a tilesize of 10 or some other size that divides nicely into your image width and height. Then draw in the entire image to this layer. Check the prerender box too. It will improve your framerate. And make sure you change the distance value to something greater than 1.

Thx for replying Joncom.

Are you saying I would then have to copying the tiles into the new layer 1 by 1?
