Hrm, images question
 

Is there any way to make the top half of an image draw over the player and the bottom draw under without using separate images?

Well, set an NPC to the image and dont do drawunderplayer() or drawoverplayer(). Should do what you want in most cases. Not possible with showimg() objects afaik, but I hope this will be changed.

I think I'll use ganis for the trees instead. I'll have to learn how to put scripts in ganis though.

Open it up with a text editor (the gani of course), then below the default head/parameter stuff put SCRIPT (yes, CAPS), then your script there, then put SCRIPTEND and thats it ;D

That's a big help, cheers :)

If you need some references, go on Zone if you didnt do that already in the past, then open up the zone_chat*.gani files in your gani folder ;)

Edit: Gani scripts also support GS2 btw, I dont know why Zone's chat ganis are still using GS1.

The chat ani is zone_chat2.gani, which is using if (playerenters) so that it receives the setani parameters in params[]. We usually don't update fine working scripts :) The zone2_*_mech.ganis could also be interesting for you.

You can use one image in a gani... any part of the image above the 0 y-coordinate will display over the image, and part under will display under the player.
Try messing with that.

Well, it is sort of possible.

Hm. I didnt think about that. Now that you mention it, I actually never use layer 1. Interesting.

It won't show the image half way through another though. Graal images are pretty much like cards standing up vertically on a table.
