Unlimited Graphically Layered Maps

Introduction
This script allows users to add "additional graphical layers" onto various coordinates of certain maps, allowing them to create something closer to "parallax mapping" without having to use an external image editor.

Unfortunately/fortunately (depending on how you look at it), the data that's included with each tile such as priority, passability, terrain, and such doesn't get included here which means you might have to use the map editor as a way to design the base of your map.

Features

• Place graphics such as tiles, pictures, text, tiles from other tilesets, and rects onto your maps!
• They will scroll as if they were a part of your map. (Unless you change their scrolling formula.)
• Change certain properties of each graphic you place such as their angle, blend type, bush depth, color, hue, mirror flag, opacity, tone, zoom, & z.
• Provides an alternative to the well-known Parallax Mapping technique.

If it wasn't for me porting Woratana's Pictures script to RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX Ace, as well as Arevulopapo's Particle Engine over to RPG Maker VX and RPG Maker VX Ace, my old dream of somehow having "unlimited layers," and always hearing about a technique called "Parallax Mapping," I wouldn't have made this script. Thanks, community!

Author's Notes
Giving maps "unlimited layers" was something I always wanted to see someone scripted for RPG Maker XP when I was younger, but I was so far from capable of pulling that off. I kind of hate how I'm scripting this 7 years a little too late, but I hope someone enjoys it all the same.

This idea came about right after I was done porting Woratana's Picture Below Characters script to XP/Ace, making a script that allowed pictures to scroll along the map, porting Arevulopapo's Particle Engine to VX and Ace, and attempted to work on my own implementation of Ace's "Shadow Pen" for XP and VX.

Wow! It's great. I think thas script is more than 6k lines of code, and's only 150 is required. :P
Good job!

XD! Thanks.

Just updated the script to version 1.0.1. This update fixes the bug that occurs when you call up a particular picture multiple times but change the hue in one of them which ends up affecting every other picture that had the same filename.

Update, the Ace version is up for download.

The script isn't have a important function.
It's support from the autotilesets from XP and XpAce Edition. (Single File Difference)
Please add this if you can ;)

can the layers be toggled to show or hide? cause that would be awesome.

This was something I wish I put a little more thought into when I was coding this.

You could toggle their visibility but you'll have to pull off some scripting wizardry. You might have to perform a call like this (going off the top of my head here):


Unfortunately, the changes being made won't be permanent.
