Is there some sort of layers plugin for mapping?

    I'm still pretty new to RPG Maker, but I'm loving it so far.

    One thing I'm hating though is the lack of layers when mapping. I hate placing down a bush or plant or something that gets overlaid over the tiles behind it, but then if I want to change it or something I can't just work on that layer.

    Are there any sort of plugins or something to add layers?

    You can't change the editor.
    It has three layers that are automatically applied, the bottom layer for A-tiles and two upper-layers for B-E tiles.

    If you don't want that, you'll need to work outside the editor -which creates other restrictions or problems.
    Look for either parallax mapping or TilEd in that case.

    Thanks for the reply. No layers is pretty rough, but I've been learning how doodads work lately, and I can see how they can sort of substitute for layers in some cases.
