I followed several tutorials to create a custom menu background from amnesia but when I go to try my background is what appears:

Seems the camera is located in the void, not sure how the menu backgrounds work but I asume it's a problem with your player spawn, go fix dat!

as can be seen here, the camera is not in the void

Do you have a lightbox to illuminate the area? I think the lightsource present are the defaults that you can toggle on/off.

The blue arrow in the camera is where you are looking... you are looking directly into the void.... Just turn it 180 degrees

No, the camera faces in the -x axis. He has it right. Only thing I can assume is you did not map this out of one of the original menu maps. You need to do so, as the "CameraPos" can not be created or destroyed. Otherwise it won't work.

- Select everything in this scene except the spawn area.
- File > Export Selection. Place somewhere you will remember
- Open the main_menu.map.
- Delete everything except the CameraPos area.
- File > Import Obects. Place your scene accordingly.
- Save over your FC's map. DO NOT OVERWRITE THE ORIGINAL.
- Check name in your FC's menu.cfg, and save.

As Rapture said, adding light should fix that.

I put other, but nothing, always the same problem

problem solved, the problem was in the name of the file, other than that it was written in the configurations
