Go to the Spriteset_Map script section. And find this:

CODE

  def create_characters
    @character_sprites = []
    for i in $game_map.events.keys.sort
      sprite = Sprite_Character.new(@viewport1, $game_map.events[i])
      @character_sprites.push(sprite)
    end
    for vehicle in $game_map.vehicles
      sprite = Sprite_Character.new(@viewport1, vehicle)
      @character_sprites.push(sprite)
    end
    @character_sprites.push(Sprite_Character.new(@viewport1, $game_player))
  end

Replace all the @viewport1 occurences by @viewport2 or @viewport3. This method will not tint events.
If you want events to be tinted but not the player, change only the third one.

ok cool is there a way i can do call script so i can activate it only when needed? like $game_player = @viewpoint2 or sumthing? if not then i'll just stick with what i have

No, because the sprites are loaded with the map, so the viewport can only be set upon entering a map. You can use a switch to control it, like this:

CODE

  def create_characters
    @character_sprites = []
    for i in $game_map.events.keys.sort
      sprite = Sprite_Character.new(@viewport1, $game_map.events[i])
      @character_sprites.push(sprite)
    end
    for vehicle in $game_map.vehicles
      sprite = Sprite_Character.new(@viewport1, vehicle)
      @character_sprites.push(sprite)
    end
    #### The control switch is set here
    # Replace 56 by the real switch ID
    vp = $game_switches[56] ? @viewport2 : @viewport1
    @character_sprites.push(Sprite_Character.new(vp, $game_player))
  end

In this example, the player will be excluded only if the 56th switch is ON. But then again, the effect only takes place if you transfer to another map.
