Overlay Redux and build 248

[Jarzka]

It seems Overlay Redux does not work well with the latest build. Overlay Redux turns invisible when I scroll?

What display mode are you using.. i doubt overlay Redux is supported in HWA

[Pixelthief]

overlay redux never worked while scrolling

do 2 things: Use the Active Overlay object, and do not position the overlay redux at (0,0). (put it at 1,1 if you have to)

It is possible to have the Overlay working with scrolling and layers using a bit of a hack. Place the overlay at 1,1 at start, put it in a layer with scroll coefficients 0,0 and always set it's position to 0-X Left Frame, 0-Y Top Frame.

Nice...

I think my display mode is Standard. Active Overlay doesn't fix my problem, because:
1) It doesn't work at all (I can't see it)
2) Active Overlay does not support destructible terrain very well

At least when I was using MMF 1.5 Overlay Redux & Scrolling worked well.

I don't understand. Layer with scroll coefficients 0,0 makes scrolling very bad and the Overlay Redux's "Follow the frame" is not on.

The point is to make the overlays scrolling manual. If the coefficients are 0 the layer itself will not scroll. The set position event will manually move the overlay as if it was scrolling.
