 |
|
Hello everyone, i'm Burst, and i'm new to OHRRPGCE.
Well, i have a question:
How do i use layers? Can i have transparencies when using layers?
I can't find any topics on this nor any help docs.
I wanna start making something cool right away!
Thanks in advance! |

This is a brand new feature, only available in the most recent nightly WIP builds. Nobody has written any documentation yet, but here is the short of it:
Press CTRL+L to enable layers.
Press PgUp and PgDn to change which layer you are working with.
Layer 1 is the ground. it is not transparent
Layer 2 is also the ground, but it is transparent.
Layer 3 is over your head. it is transparent.
Report any bugs you find. |

the layers are a bew addition to a non-official release (known as nightly: progresses that are unstable). For this reason, they are not documented yet, but there is a thread that describes the general idea.
Wohhh, Jaimes beated me to it  |

On the subject of layers, I was just wondering what this will mean for messing with the maps using plotscripting. How will commands like write map block be affected?

Readmapblock and writemapblock each have a new optional layer argument at the end. If you leave it off, it will only operate on layer 0, but you can also specify layer 1 and layer 2. |

Ok, i tried using layers. Layer 2 will always be my first drawn tile, i can't change it. If i try putting another tile, it will just overwrite a tile on layer 0.
How can i set tiles on layer 2 without affecting layer 0?
Thanks again. |

Layer 2 is supposed to overlap lay 0 and 1. That's exactly what it's there for. You have to use the first black (i'm pretty sure) for pixels you wish to keep transparent.

Even though the other layers are activated, in the game I only see layer 0. Is there something simple I'm doing wrong?

| You need to press PageUp and PageDn to edit the other layers, and place tiles on them. |

Nonono.
I have NO problem editing the actual layers. In the editor it all looks golden.
Once I run the game trhough Game.exe, layer1 and layer2 are not visible, only layer 0 and the sprites.

That is what I would expect to see if you were using an old copy of game.exe that does not support layers yet. |
