Layout Editor:Layering & Transparency
{WIP}
Introduction
The layout system in Wah!Cade builds the screen in layers. These layers support transparency. which can be enabled in the item properties dialog when editing the item in the Layout Editor.
When creating a layout we can take advantage of the way the screen is being built to assist with generating complex composited layouts.
By default the layout system supports 3 major types of graphics. Each of these are used when building composited layouts in order of preference.
- Empty Artwork 1-10 (Artwork displayed when no artwork is are found)
- Artwork 1-10
- Background Images
N64 Layout Example
In this N64 Layout example there is no main.xxx file for the layout. The layout is built completely using artworks 1 through 10.
