[Yami's Overlay Mapping] Adding a masked picture on a layer

I have this small but nonetheless frustrating problem with one of my paralax map:



I wish to put the foreground trees onto a separate layer, which I tried to do with a simple Show Picture event locked with the Fixed Pictures script by Seer UK and OriginalWij: this works well except that the sun beams effect done with Yami's Overlay Mapping script appears behind the foreground trees instead of the other way around.

I tried to find PK8's Unlimited Graphically Layered Maps script to solve this issue but with no luck; maybe someone knows where I could download a copy of this script?

Otherwise, any other solution will be helpful...

Thanks in advance for any input :)

um ... doesn't Yami's Overlay Mapping script ALLOW a foreground layer?


Be careful of trying to use multiple scripts that attempt to accomplish the same thing - you'll invite script incompatibilities and lower performance doing that.


Also, please post a link to the script, otherwise people will have to search for it before they can answer you.

 
Unless mistaken, it allows for a paralax layer, a ground layer, a shadows layer and a light layer only.


I already use the last two (although this isn't visible on the screenshot), and the two others are under the player, therefore they're of no use to solve my problem...


Here is the script:

No, the parallax layer from yami's script should be above player if correctly configured

Hey Gui, please don't post scripts here. It's better (for several reasons) to post a link to the original thread or blog where the script is introduced.

Apologies for necroing this thread after almost nine years, but this script has since been lost and its creator hasn't been seen since 2015. If you have some way to view the history of that reply and its contents, the script may be recoverable from this thread; otherwise, this is some very unfortunate irony. If you are able to, would you please? I'd quite like to use the script, and I've seen several other people express similar dismay to me that it's been lost.

It did not save its history, no. However, there's a thread Recovering Lost Scripts in RGSS3 Scripts that includes links to Yami's old scripts, including Overlay Mapping.
