Particle effects show up over mini-map
I first noticed this in my module, but checked and found it in ToME, too. If you look at the left-hand side of the two screenshots, where the map intersects the mini-map and PlayerDisplay you can see that particle effects in the tiles that are theoretically off-screen show up. In both my module and ToME the mini-map shows the particle effects, and only in VR do the particles show up on top of the PlayerDisplay. The targetting overlay from the corrosive vapour also showed up in the mini-map in ToME. Any ideas where this is coming from?

Re: Particle effects show up over mini-map
the quick and easy way to fix this is to move the map code so that it is first in game:display()
moving the minimap out of the if statement with the rest of the map/level display does not make the particles go behind it though, not sure how to fix that.

Yeah, the minimap is printed over a transparent area, beucase it can be used over the main map.
You can jsut display a black surface behind it to stop the particles

If others are interested, Shoob has a good fix for that here.
