Ok Find the for next loop which calls bltPlayer
Now copy it, we need to make another sub to blt the top of the player, this way it will be above other players bottoms.
We need to make a new loop instead of adding just another sub in the first one, because otherwise if there was a player ontop of your player, which was bltted after you in the loop, it will show ontop of your head, and thats not cool.
So make it look like this:
(it goes right after the other loop if you hadnt figured that out)
Now we need to make the sub.
Copy the bltPlayer Sub
Paste the bltPlayer Sub right below there
Rename it bltPlayerTop
Find this if statement in the BltPlayerTop Sub, its something like:
Change it to this:
This blts it 1 tile higher then normal.
Now go to the BltPlayer sub
Find:
Make it:
This takes one block down from the top of the sprite
Oh yea, in both of the subs, add a * 2 after the getplayersprite(index) in the rec.top line, this make it so each block of 2 is thought of as 1 sprite.
you dont really NEED it though.
Oh, and for the names...
Go to the BltPlayerName sub and find the texty = whatever and change it to:
Or if you want the name to show up above the player(the one there ^ makes it below) make it this:
Now you will probably have to change other things, like for the npcs if you want them like that too. Or whatever.
If I missed something in here let me know.

TextY = GetPlayerY(Index) * PIC_Y + Player(Index).YOffset + 28 '(or-4 + pic_y)Or if you want the name to show up above the player(the one there ^ makes it below) make it this:
Code:
TextY = GetPlayerY(Index) * PIC_Y + Player(Index).YOffset - 50 '(or-4 - pic_y - pic_y/2)Now you will probably have to change other things, like for the npcs if you want them like that too. Or whatever.
