Use in your own published mods at your own discretion

Limitations so far

  • No vertical scrolling yet(and I do not mean vertical parallax like in Ice Cap act 1), just offseting layers vertically
  • Angel Island Act 1 mid level miniboss cutscene has background done as foreground element so it overlays your custom bg there
  • Angel Island Act 2 bomber scene blatantly loops camera.x position and makes scrolling jarring
  • Same for Mushroom Hill act 2 boss sequence
  • There are no 'graceful' background scroll offset transition between acts
  • No indoor/outdoor background transitions for Ice Cap zone and Flying Battery zone
  • Marble Garden Act 2 earthquake sequence has level foreground tiles with hardcoded green color(in vanilla too)
  • Marble Garden Act 2 boss fight has zero scrolling due to camera.x position being still
  • Flying Battery Act 2 after lazer boss sequence has vanilla bg overriding the custom one
  • No BG animations
  • No color transitions
  • No layers that move based on time

Current Parallax bg list:

  • Marble Garden Zone
  • Carnival Night Zone
  • Mushroom Hill Zone
