Ripping and utilizing Parallax backgrounds

Hey everyone,
                        I was looking to rip stages from Primal Rage arcade, and luckily enough for me, there were cheat scripts available to turn off stage objects and rip the foreground structures easily. The problem came when I looked on to ripping the floor. Case in point:

Here is a video of game play in action. Its not the best quality but its just to show the parallax in action.

My issue is that on certain stages like Diablo's Inferno, The floor has animated lava in it and distorts according to where the players move, to stimulate a very neat looking parallax effect. Lets say I rip the animated lava with ground, I would still be confused on how I can distort it like it does on the Arcade emulator (which I suspect is handled by the engine). 

Any advice would be useful
Thank you

For animations you will need to use a BGCtrl to toggle your ground sprites rather than make a typical anim.

ExShadow's Alpha Base stage has that functionality.

It looks a bit complicated but thanks. I'll try it out and post back if it works out.
