Due to backwards compatibility it's too late to change it (some crazy people have already exploited it). There's usually no reason to use layers and overhead tiles at the same time, however you probably are stuck due to there only being one overhead layer (which will change in the future).
You can probably get around it by drawing some special tiles for your layer 2 which look like the weather tile over the overhead tile.

Are we ever going to add more tile layers or is 3 as high as it's going to go?

You probably shouldn't be using overhead tiles at all. They are still supported for backwards compatibility of course, but for all new maps you should probably be using tiles in layer 2
Yes, we will add the option for more layers in the future. See 'Plan for slice tree' to learn more about the long term plans for layering. Not only will you be able to add more map layers, but you will be able to have precise plotscripted control over the layering of many different things like text boxes, menus, script strings, and script sprites |

All of this "slice tree" business has me salivating. One question in relation to that though... Will we ever be able to do something like this? (easily?)
EDIT: I mean the lantern in the darkness thing. I probably should've been more clear on that.

Maybe. If I was going to try to make something like that, I would probably:
* Wait until slice trees have progressed far enough that we can add map layers and manipulate them with scripting
* Create a "candlelight" map layer that looks like the black space, with transparent space where the light shines.
* Insert the "candlelight" layer right above layer 2
* anchor the "candlelight" layer's position to the hero's position.
The first step, of course, is the hard part :) |
