When using mode 7, i noticed that no matter what layer you put an object from the tileset on, you will walk on top of it, even if its set for it to be above you (eg. Trees, etc.) while not using mode 7 one a specific map.
I have tried to with both the versions .61 and .6 of the mode 7 script, which, when the script is enabled, causes this problem, which is rectified the second i remove the script.
Any help is appreciated. ;) ???

Mode07 on the Map!
Includes:
Mode07 v0.61
Overworld Sprite Resize
Written by mewsterus
bugs fixed Blizzard (v0.6 to v0.61):
- panorama scroll correction
- tint screen does work on events again
Special Thanks:

Instructions:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install, just insert this in a descriptive code slot right above Main.
This is different than previous instructions; please read the next paragraph.
If you had a previous install of this script and need an original version of
Spriteset_Map, one can be found at:
http://www.rpg-palace.com/scripts/spriteset_map.txt
To activate Mode07, add [#XX] to the map's name, replacing XX with the
percentage of Mode07 to apply. Greater numbers will result in a more slanted
world.
To activate overworld sprite resize, add [OV] to the map's name. This will make
sprites smaller on that map.
For the purposes of location scripts, these identifiers will not appear.
Examples:
"Overworld[#40]" will result in a slant identical to the second screenshot.
"Underworld[OV]" will resize only the player character to a small size, as if
seen from high above.
"Atthelevelworld[OV][#12]" will result in the player being resized, and a modest
slant of 12%
"JustPlainWorld" will result in the same old map you've always seen.
To add a sky, simply use the panorama with the tileset. Also, events will not
be drawn flat with the map. Any vertical objects such as trees should be put
in events and displayed that way.
You can also add a sky by adding a fog. If you add this, you can make it look
like the first screenshot.
A note on the $strip_size variable; the default value is 8, however there is
extremely minimal, almost nonexistant lag with 16. The screen is extremely
smooth with 4, or even 2. If you're having major problems with lag, you may
need to use 32, but it won't look too pretty.

Why the hell ask for help here, ask for help on the creators topic.
Because, when you search for mode 7, all you find is alot of OTHER TOPICS created by OTHER PEOPLE, asking for help with the same script.
"Mode 07 Help. by (CVE)Baal"
"I have a small question for the mode 7 script (Updated 1st post) by Blizzard"
"Mode 7!!!! by Naphe"
etc, etc.
None of which, are made by the scripts creator.
no need to be like that, if you can direct me to the ORIGINAL topic where the CREATOR posted the script, i'll gladly move it there.
I posted it here BECAUSE I could not find the creators topic. I also am aware that some people on this board are familiar with the mode 7 script, also that other people have edited it to fix problems (hence why i have one that is version .61 as opposed to the v.6 one that is EVERYWHERE).
Try hbgames.org, I've seen the script there.
I am, but i am waiting for mewsterus to validate my account (they make you email him to get your account activated). So I figured, why not try here while I wait, as other people's problems with the script have been "fixed" by members here, namely the MOD "Blizzard", who seems to be pretty familiar with this particular script.
Yes, Blizz is here =D
I guess trying hbgames.org would be good. But if you wait Im sure blizz will see this topic.
Thanks Nouman. Yeah, I figured that he'd probably eventually see it.

yes well, I have yet to find a topic that doesnt send you the creator's site since it is
exclusive to his site and cannot be posted anywhere else(until now..)
i grabbed it from this site. thats why in the code it says "bugs fixed Blizzard (v0.6 to v0.61):"
also, in my 3rd post, I said I am waiting for my account to be activated for that site.
also, why is it that this is a big deal, when, as i said, there are many other people asking about this script in these forums? (Mode 7). I'm just unlucky i suppose?
sorry if I "offended" anyone by asking this question here, did not mean to ruffle feathers, just seeking a little help with this. I only posted here because I noticed Blizzard helped others with this same script (after all, he fixed a few glitches yet to be fixed in the "official release). Its not like I didn't look around first.
Anyway, I appreciate the kindness Nouman.
Don't worry. Your post being here is perfectally fine. I think they were just pointing you to better/ quicker ways of getting your question answered. Don't feel bad about this question, its in the right section so its fine in my book. ;D
I know about the problem you're talking about. In the instructions itself is mentioned that you shouldn't use trees on the tileset, but use events with the graphic of a tree so it looks good.
And yes, the script doesn't support tiles priority yet. =/ mewsterus hasn't build it in yet.
Ah, thank you.
Go ahead and lock the topic.
no no no, lol.
No lock topic. Others may have questions/comments.
just add [RESOLVED]
