However, when adding parallax backgrounds to maps, there are some things to consider for maintaining backward compatibility with the classic Java client. Transparent areas in a map will simply be black in the Java client. So, unless specifically desired, map data should not contain fully transparent areas. But there are two methods that can be used to instruct supporting clients on where to draw transparency on the map: |

# You can specify tilesets to be ignored by the client when building map data. Use the attribute "parallax_ignore_tiles" in the zone's XML config. An example of how to do so can be found in the configuration of {{StendhalFile|9c0315793a16907c83d3e0dce761e8e6a66ae115|data/conf/zones/kikareukin.xml#L18|7_kikareukin_clouds}}. |

Multiple tilesets can be defined using a comma-delimited value (example: image1,image2,...). |

# An additional layer named "0_floor_parallax" can be added the TMX map file. The layer should be identical to "0_floor" excluding the portions that should be transparent. An example of how this is done can be found in map of {{StendhalFile|9c0315793a16907c83d3e0dce761e8e6a66ae115|data/maps/Level%206/kikareukin/islands.tmx|6_kikareukin_islands}} ([https://www.mapeditor.org/ Tiled Map Editor] needed to view). |
