DS development > Help loading BG with PAlib! [help achieved]

#47745 - Ferakk - Wed Jul 13, 2005 12:09 am

I am trying to load a background on the DS with PAlib, but I just can't get it working!

I managed to load the correct PAL with
Code:
 PA_LoadPal();


I don't know if the tiles nor the map itself have been loaded. I've tried loading the map and tiles togheter with the
Code:
 PA_LoadBg();


I have also tried loading the map and tiles with two functions:
Code:
PA_LoadBgMap();
and
PA_LoadBgTiles();


I did not forget to
Code:
PA_ShowBg();
and
PA_InitBg();


It is also very confusing because when I should name my map or tile in diffrent functions the examples are not the same. Sometimes it says I must add a pointer "(void*)", and sometimes I should only type the name in the c file itself.

I have searched on many diffrent sites and looking through many examples and documentations but I'm stuck... If you think I am outside bicycling and if you know a easy way how to show a background with the PAlib please help me.

// Thanks in advance

This question is probably better asked on the PA Lib forums:
http://teamnnc.free.fr/html//modules.php?name=Forums

Specifically, have you read the following?:

I just tired out that link you gave me to mollusks tutorial, and it worked. Jippie!

I'm talking about the background, not the link .)
