3 years later: this video is still very useful when wanting to know how to do backgrounds and so far I think it's the only one I found that actually helped me thank you so much for this tutorial
i really really love this series! it's really fun to watch and i don't even know why lmao (and also your songs are bangers) i think that since dave is an algebra teacher, being a mod maker teacher doesn't sound bad at all C: i hope your channel blows up!
Tutorial suggestions: 1. How to add hit sounds to custom notes (or notes in general) 2. How to make custom notes and how to add them. 3. How to add events.
All of these are pretty hard but I’m sure you can find things that can help you there might not be videos but people online post helpful things on forums or you can make a post on gamebanana and someone might be able to help you
thank you dave (also it does still work, in the part where you download the examples you just need the stage copies. And if it gives you a black screen, try changing if its a JPG file to a PNG file)
OMG dave thank you so much. i have tried for an entire year watching tutorials and failed and by all of them you were the one who finally made me find out. thank you so Funking much man thank you so Funking much man thank you so Funking much man thank you so Funking much man.
when i enter the sogn with the background selected, it crashes, saying bunch of weird stuff and "Uncaught Error: Null Object Reference" even tho i did everything step by step, EVERYTHING dave said how do i fix this?
i found out that when you use the lua script for your stage always edit the stage parts in the lua file and name it to whatever you want if theres an image of what you had in the mods image folder i found this out using the lua script for this
When I try out my stage, it's just a black background and when I try to adjust the positioning of the map it doesn't work. I'm super confused too, because when I followed your tutorial step by step, it didn't work until I changed some things that you didn't change.
can somebody help here here? i did exactly what dave said and it says "eof expected near end" when i hit ok it just goes to black screen!' Somebody plz give me a hint or smth!
Hey uh, so I did every step correctly ( I replaced the stage back png with the full Faker background and all that sh ) and it just doesn't work. Mind helping here? I really need help on this.
yo this actually helped a lot!! one thing tho: the floor of the stages slightly moves under the character instead on staying still, how do you fix that?
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! im so confused... Edit: I got it! I asked chatgpt and he said it was because there were 2 "ends" so it confused the script. he gave me a fixed version: function onCreate() -- background shit makeLuaSprite('NewsBG', 'NewsBG', -600, -300) setScrollFactor('NewsBG', 0.9, 0.9) addLuaSprite('NewsBG', false) -- Add the sprite close(true) -- Close for performance reasons end
bro i got an error "mod/stages/exampleStage.lua:11: '' expected near end" pls help me with lua script (i want to make a mod for my subscriber but i don't know how to add custom stage)
So, your script should look like this rn: function onCreate() -- background shit makeLuaSprite('house', 'house', -600, -300); setScrollFactor('house', 0.9, 0.9);
whenever I try to use this method, my background is completely blank. I followed the steps very carefully. And I also encountered an error saying "eof expected near end", anyone know what 2 do?
this is really usefull but if you do this on the MacOS port it's not gonna work cuz the backgrounds will turn black, so if you are watching this and doing this on a MacOS im telling you this will not work
So, your script should look like this rn: function onCreate() -- background shit makeLuaSprite('house', 'house', -600, -300); setScrollFactor('house', 0.9, 0.9);
okay so it’s likely that there was a mistake in the lua script. try removing the first “end” at the top part of the script, keep the second “end” there should only be one. that worked for me. :)

The tutorial actually worked, but I have a problem: the stage I want loads but for some reason, the groung doesn't change... Can you explain why that happens? :I

Hey Dave. every time i put the stage in game and i select it its says error on lua script and the error is : mods/stages/pissing_too:11:'' expected near 'end' plz help me what do i do???
I tried making a bg using the tutorial, but theres an error "mods/data/minus.lua11:'' expected near 'end'." (btw minus is my song, .lua file, .json file, .png bg file, etc.) still doesnt work! anybody help?
This is kinda broken tbh. So I had put everything together, for my custom stage, I put "game" as the stage. But its talking about ? What is the correct script for this? Maybe it's because of 0.6.2 Version? I cannot tell; If it is, then make a 0.6.2 version for the others; If it's not, then someone tell me how to fix this? Because it's a full black screen all I'm seeing. Edit: Nevermind! Delete the first end inside of the script and make the end all the way at the bottom to the left side
Hi Villezen! I was wondering about this and i came to ask you since you would probably know. when i try to load the stage, it says "mods/stages/(example-name).lua:10 '' expected near 'end'" Do you think you know how to fix this?
@@fakerclassic yea that happened to me, but i found out how to fix it you have to remove the first "end" and then save it, and then the stage will work

How about a tutorial making sprites for Psych engine?
You have to draw the sprites first. Character editor will do rest of the work.
xml spritesheet maker for fnf exists
if you dont know where to add the background, you have to put it in: psych engine (or whatever you named it)\mods\images
