Getting rid of Battler Background

[Ballad]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I didn't know what search string to use to find this.

I want to try and get rid of the little windows behind the Battler Graphics at the bottom of the screen during a fight. I've tried making it completely transparent, but I only end up with a solid black bar across the bottom of the screen with my Battler Graphic on top of it.

That black bar at the bottom, there. It needs to be destroyed so that I can make a larger Background that fills the entire screen with only the Battler Graphics standing on it.

Any ideas, guys? Thanks for any help!

Just so you know, the bar IS the background... the battle background goes OVER it, meaning you'll need a larger battle background to fill the area, lol.

Tried that. In case you didn't notice, the bottom of my background has a red bar going across it.

There's a reason you didn't notice the big red bar, though...because a giant black bar is covering it.

Here are the resources I'm using for testing purposes:

Battleback resized to 640x480

Windowskin with "White" as Trans/Semi-Trans

I made sure to set white as Transparent and Semi-Transparent on te Windowskin when Importing. I imported the Battleback. I made sure to assign the new Battleback as the one to be used during Grassland fights (which this fight is). I also made sure to assign the new Windowskin through the Database.

I end up with this.

Still the big black bar.

I have that problem as well. I have the window at the bottom so it fits around the amount of actors on the field, but then it has a black bar behind it and it looks awful.

Oh, this is easy. It isn't inserting a big black bar. Instead, it just isn't displaying the rest of the background. Just change line 19 of Spriteset_Battle to the following:

@viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 480)

Awesome, that got me somewhere. I still have the black bar problem, however now XP is allowing animations to play over the black bar, which is acceptable, though not ideal.

Ah! Found the new problem. Change line 106 of Spriteset_Battle to the following:

@battleback_sprite.src_rect.set(0, 0, 640, 480)
