BG Commands not working!

So i was trying to add a background to my game in working on. But the problem is that i want the background to be different on the top screen and bottom screen. So i get display and add the BGFILL command... But the problem is that it will still be a black screen, Heres a example.

DISPLAY 1
CLS
BGFILL 0,0,0,24,14,(tile code i forgot)

I had the same issue when I was initially writing a simple space shooter. You need to specify how many sprites and bg layers are available using the XSCREEN command. XSCREEN 2, 128, 2 This will set up for display for mode 2, and assign 128 sprites, with 2 BG layers on the top screen. The remainder will be assigned to the bottom allowing layers 2 and 3 to be used. That should resolve your issue.

You need to use the right BG layer, probably 2 or 3 if you used the same XSCREEN command.

But then it says out of range.

BGSCREEN maybe...? IDK what your code looks like, can you show me?

XSCREEN 2,128,2
DISPLAY 1
VISIBLE 1,0,0,0
PRINT"HI
BGFILL 2,0,0,5,5,1

Change the 2 in BGFILL to a 0. The both screens' sprite & BG layer indexes start at 0 no matter what how many of them are assigned to the screen. Keep that in mind.

Oh, I thought they started at 2 and 3 because they got divided up. Like 0 and 1 for top and 2 and 3 for bottom. Apparently I was wrong :P
