but the way I made my game I was wondering if I could make it not show the 3rd layer.

[brewmeister 3]

in the draw_map method, look for these 2 lines...

 

if tile_id >= 384

 

if tile_id >= 48 and tile_id < 384

 

and change them to...

 

if tile_id >= 384 and level < 2

 

if tile_id >= 48 and tile_id < 384 and level < 2

[joman195 9]

That didn't work.

[kellessdee 48]

What you need to do is

 

go to

class Map_Mini < Map_Base (line 247 I think)

 

then go to

def Draw_Map (line 273 i think)

 

and change

for level in 0...3

to

for level in 0...2

 

and that will only draw the first 2 layers on the mini map...

 

it also seems you have another class, "class Map_Full", which I am assuming is for a larger, full-screen map?

If you want that map to only draw the first 2 layers, find the Draw_Map method within that class (around line 506),

and change

for level in 0...3

to

for level in 0...2

 

EDIT:

I believe the reason brewmeister's solution may not have worked is because there are 2 draw_map methods, 1 for class Map_Mini and 1 for class Map_Full, and you may have changed the wrong one...However with my solution, it should only grab the data for the first 2 layers; rather than grabbing the data for all 3 and only drawing 2...which should save some processing/memory (not sure which one would specifically apply in this case, maybe both)

Thanks dude. You're awesome!

no problem man *blushes* but thank you, I like to help where I can (it also helps me learn in the process)
