look at this
basically the way im reading it vlayer is like texture layer (look at the first few seconds of the video), but it allows for multi selection:
texture 0 "some/random/texture.jpg
vlayer 3
texture 0 "layed/texture/a.jpg
texture 0 "layed/texture/b.jpg
texture 0 "layed/texture/c.jpg
texture 0 "layed/texture/d.jpg
basically a-c images will have a texture layer with some/random.. but d will not.
Note texlayer allows for negative values but vlayer does not:
texture 0 "some/random/texture1.jpg"
texture 0 "some/random/texture2.jpg"
texlayer -1
this will allow for texture blend between 1 and 2 (as shown in video)
