for the people who are saying their background just becomes black, you need to put the images of your stage in the images folder of your mod (the image also needs to be around 2114 x 1075 res), and just the images folder alone, for some reason if you put it inside a folder and put that folder in the images folder, psych engine won't load the images in that folder, so yeah
ATTENTION!! if your screen is black without the abckground you need to change the pngs name into "(name of the background)bg back" for the back and "(name of the background)bg front" for the front for the lua file and the json file you need to change the name into the name of the background,(because the error is that the lua and json files have the same name of the pngs so when it should show the background it shows nothing because it can't show the lua and json files as the background) and it should be working after you do this(sorry for my bad english)
@@ogerser8840 to fix this problem you need to put it ONLY in the images folder, just there and it needs to have an appropriate name and it has to be BIG like make the size bigger using a resizer or smth
