[RMMV] RM2K3 RESOURCES IN RMMV

Posts

Pages: 1
Hi Folks,

It’s been some years since I picked up RPGmaker and I’m having thoughts of restarting progress on a passion project. That said, I’ve read a lot about the advancements made in RMMV and was curious on how easy it is to import RM2K3 resources and use them as character and tiles in MV.

I guess ease is not the real question, more so do they look right in MV. I haven’t downloaded it yet, but I imagine they have a different dimension for resources than 2k3.

Would appreciate your help in understanding

Rpg 2k3 uses 16x16 tiles. MV uses 48x48. To use 2k3 sprites and tiles on MV, all you have to do is resize them by 300% and rearrange them to follow MV's tileset format. Charsets will work in whatever format as long as you use multiples of 2 and include an $ at the beginning of the filename when the whole image is just one character.
Also you'll need to reorder the rows in the sprite.
2k/3 use up/right/down/left (n,e,s,w compass directions)
VX onwards use down/left/right/up (2,4,6,8 keypad directions)

If you use upscaled 2k3 characters with upscaled 2k3 (or other 16x16) tiles, it'll look fine. If you use the MV tiles there's potential for visual clash.

There are some autotiles that don't quite work but for the most part I've had no trouble using 2k/3 resources in MV. I have my own plugin but you can get plugins to change the tilesize of MV.
