Layered isometric maps?
« on: June 19, 2012, 10:46:58 am »
Does anyone know how I can create layered isometric maps? I want to take screenshots, and layer them over each other, each map would be an isometric view. I hope to use transparency to layer 3 of them at a time over each other. Any ideas. I found a tile maker for gimp that worked to make my screenshot isometric, but... I don't know how to layer them over each other.

Sounds like you wish to use Stonesense.

that is not what I want to do since stonesense doesn't show me all the z-levels.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

You can increase the number of z-levels it shows you at the same time you know.
