Adding Mask3 / Fringe3

[Vortigem]

I've been searching for a tutorial but couldn't locate one. This was as far as I've gotten thus far:

Changed Server Side to:

```

Public Enum MapLayer

Ground = 1

Mask

Mask2

Mask3

Fringe

Fringe2

Fringe3

' Make sure Layer_Count is below everything else

Layer_Count

End Enum

```

Changed Client Side to:

```

Public Enum MapLayer

Ground = 1

Mask

Mask2

Mask3

Fringe

Fringe2

Fringe3

' Make sure Layer_Count is below everything else

Layer_Count

End Enum

```

Added new options buttons to Mask3 & Fringe3 to frmEditor_Map with optLayer.

What am I missing for this to function as intended?

***Edit*** Problem solved. See last post for resolution.

I cant check at the moment but is there a MAX_LAYERS you need to edit, client side?

[Vortigem]

Negative. I'm still searching for more clues.

[boyesjs03]

Ill have a quick look in the morning, im sure I sure something earlier.

[boyesjs03]

Is layer_count found anywhere in the modconstants?

[Vortigem]

Unfortunately that is a question I don't know how to answer.

Currently when I open the map editor and try to utilize Fringe3 or Mask3, clicking the tile on the map does nothing. It doesn't stick.

Send me a PM now and in the morning ill have a look and PM you if I get any results :-)

I am not sure but I think somethings must be changed it modGameEditors or frmEditor_Map

[DeathKnight]

You will definately need to edit where the map actually draws. Check the modgraphics (or modDirectDraw7) depending on your version. I.e. in EO 2.0.1 you have this sub

```

Public Sub BltMapTile

```

with this bit of code in it

```

For i = MapLayer.Ground To MapLayer.Mask2

```

That would need to be changed to draw mask3

[abhi2011]

@Deathkingt that is why there is another enum value named Layer_Count. Unless changed it should be like this

```

for i = 1 to mapllayer.ground to Layer_Count - 1

```

different tut but same idea of adding layers except this is for animation layers. look how there added for layer value part and maybe give an idea how you add the others. or search "layer" see wat pops up for "mask". heres animation layer tut [LINK](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129795-eo-23-animation-layers/)

Hey thanks for the help guys! With your suggestions I was able to piece the remaining issues together. The problem came down to that I still needed to (all clientside):

```

For I = MapLayer.Ground To MapLayer.Mask2

```
to Mask3

As well as

```

For I = MapLayer.Fringe To MapLayer.Fringe2

```
to Fringe3

Additionally, after ensuring all buttons made in Mapeditor were named optLayer, I noticed the **Index** numbers didn't match to their respective changes.

Thanks again!
