Title: Visible separation between two background sprites
Post by: midasmax on July 11, 2013, 03:26:51 am

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a tile-able background image. The background is 960x640, but when I place two Sprites next to each other, there appears to be a visible separator line between the both of them.

Here is a zoomed in image from the editor

And this is the game view window:

Any idea how I might fix this?

Update:
So I think I've fixed it! I changed the Filter Mode from "Bilinear" to "Point" in the Sprite Collection Settings. This seems to work!

I had this problem once too, it was fixed by setting the "Pad method" of the sprite to "Extend" (instead of "Default").

The FAQ entry for this is here:

It you want bilinear to work properly, you will need to set pad to extend.

Thanks guys!

I do apologize for not sourcing it out in the FAQs sub-forum prior to posting it here. I'll be sure to check that place out if I run into any issues first the next time! I actually did a search on the forum for "separation", but should have thought about "gap" too ;)

All the same, I really appreciate the help and advice. The dwellers of this forum are really nice, prompt, and helpful. Thanks so much!
