I think I've covered everything, but go ahead and ask if you have any more questions. However, because those script calls will all be RGSS3 commands, you will need to find them all and change them to use JavaScript commands instead.Ī VX converter is a distinct possibility, but likely will not be available prior to MV's release.Īn XP converter is also on my wish list, but it's going to be quite a bit tougher due to the database, tileset & layering differences. The converted version will include any script calls used in Control Variables, Conditional Branch or the Script event command. The converted version will include all the tags you have added to notes in the database and maps, but as scripts aren't converted, they will do nothing. You will have to find MV plugin equivalents, see if someone can convert the scripts for you, or use an alternative.

You can copy all of these files into the data folder of a new MV project and MV will be able to read them. It will convert your database and all your maps and events to MV format and save new files to the mv-data folder (it does not modify your Ace project at all). With the script active, when you playtest the game, it will create an mv-data folder. The converter is a script that you can put into VX Ace. So I can talk a bit about the converter, but everything else about MV that hasn't yet been announced is still protected by NDA. If you don't have the extra files yet, you can get it from my pastebin. All those events that were usedīecause Ace only had one upper layer and you needed an event toĪdd an extra tile on top, have now been converted to tiles ratherįor those who have all the extra files, the converter script is in the RPGMakerWeb_plugins folder, in the Shaz subfolder. Version 2.0 fixes that - once in MV, you can now draw a second tileĪlso, version 2.0 removes any events used for decoration, and places Upper layer, so if you wanted to place another tile on top in MV, the The original version put the upper layer tiles onto the 'bottom' MV In addition to the characters having a slight halo, my greatest concern so far is with the tilesets - particularly the autotiles, which sometimes have visible lines along the edges that break up the flow of a map (dunno if this is what you call 'fringing'). I don't really like the MV graphics, and so I've been going through and resizing all of the VX Ace graphics, hoping I can ultimately use them to create a game that looks like VX Ace in the MV program (so I can take advantage of its features - particularly cross-platform support and the side-view battle system, although that introduces graphical problems of its own that I haven't confronted yet). I am eagerly anticipating whatever you come up with in terms of eliminating the grey shadows/halo/whatever other artifacts are created by the resizing process. I want to thank you, Ultima2876, for your advice on using waifu2x, and your efforts to improve the results. Then I'll tidy up the interface so you can upload a batch of files (probably with drag and drop) and leave it to go. I also want to add support for tilesets, which is an important addition. 5 - Copy and paste to have multiple lights.

Insert the Event Command 'Tint Screen' and click in the button 'Night' or just make a dark tint. Halo removal isn't perfect yet, and also I want to add support for other sheet sizes (including native MV sheets, to give them the same look as resized VX sprites). 4 - (Optional) Create another event anywhere. It makes it a much easier process to just upload your character sheet and immediately download one that is sized for MV. I'm still working on the halo removal, but it should be an improvement on standard Waifu scaling. It should give you a waifu-style resize but without the 'bleeding over' issues, and hopefully with slightly better results on the 'halo'.

I'll be working on it as and when I find time. This is very much work-in-progress, so please let me know about any and all issues. It takes a few seconds, so be patient! (Also it only supports 384x256 sheets for now, the style that I've posted above in the thread). So you can upload a VX/VX Ace character image and it'll do some magic.
