CONVERT VX PROJECT TO VX ACE?

There was some changes to the database, such as custom formula for skills and attributing stats into classes rather than the characters to name a few examples. So, characters might not convert very well. Another thing to look out for is scripts. The differences between a script made for VX as opposed to VX Ace might be minor, but, even minor changes can make the difference between code working, and not working.

I'm not really sure if there's a quick-and-easy way of doing map/event conversion, to be honest. However, I have this game where I copy-pasted the entire VX RTP tileset into it, made sure they were labeled as such in the filename, set up a new tileset in the project ("Classic VX"), set the mode to "VX Compatible", and basically went from there.

Actually, that's pretty much how this screenshot came into being.

I coped a map from VX to VX Ace back in the days of the Japanese trial that didn't allow you to load a game. Just make a map in Ace, see what the map ID is, close your project, delete that Map###.rvdata2 from your game, copy your VX map and rename it to the same filename of the map you deleted (remember to change the extension too, VX maps are Map###.rvdata without the 2). I never tested it with events though but I don't think there were any changes on that front so it might work. When I did it it was with the same tileset in both games (in Ace I also set it to VX mode but that just affects how it draws some tiles).

Most scripts will be a wash, there are quite a few backend changes in Ace that would make it incompatible with many VX scripts without changing the scripts.
