+---- Thread: Remove the need for BltPlayerTop (/showthread.php?tid=2047)
Remove the need for BltPlayerTop - Robin - 30-08-2008
Code:
For y = 0 To MAX_MAPY
' Blit out the npcs
For i = 1 To MAX_MAP_NPCS
If MapNpc(i).y = y Then
Call BltNpc(i)
End If
Next i
' Blit out players
For i = 1 To MAX_PLAYERS
If IsPlaying(i) Then
If GetPlayerMap(i) = GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) Then
If GetPlayerY(i) = y Then
Call BltPlayer(i)
End If
End If
End If
Next i
Next yRe: Remove the need for BltPlayerTop - JokeofWeek - 30-08-2008
Aha, such a quick fix, good optimization too, since it saves you the extra MAX_PLAYERS loop
You can do this with BltNPCtop also, but you can't have both fixes, coz what if, for example, the NPC's top had to go over the player's bottom. All in all, a good optimization though Saves at least one big loop 
Nice one Robin :wink:

It already handles the NPC as well. Look at the code xD
I've been meaning to do something like this for ages. I originally had it as:
For y = max_mapy to 0 step - 1
Thinking that it should render from bottom to top. Silly mistake tbh xD

:O True xD Hadn't realized that
Although, it's probably the easiest to do in DX8, just set the Z value I'd beleive xD Nice optimization for DX7 though

I use the same method in Dx8.
