Everything just.. explodes.(Image repeats it's self and stuff.) I turned the backdrop off and chose to set a bitmap.

Only reason I'm doing this, is because "texture backdrop" is apparently obsolete.

Help?

I am a beginner

Texture backdrop was removed, and then re-added again later on for the DarkClouds plugin.

I feel you need to update your DBPro to the latest version to use that command. (v1.075, or 7.5 as it's called round these parts, is the latest version)

Yeah, it was changed to show the whole image as the backdrop, which allows for some neat tricks.

For instance, putting an extra camera inside a skybox object and rotating it with the main camera, and rendering that to the backdrop - then you have a completely seperate sky 'layer', and a lot less issues with draw distance.
