Am I able to import custom damage formulas from Rpgmaker XP

[Canini]

While looking over my old XP games I have found that a lot of ideas for the battle system could be used for my newer games in VX Ace (no need to reinvent the wheel). My question is simple; will I be able to import my damage formulas wholesale from XP to Ace or is there some difference between engines in how they are calculated. Most of my damage formulas use the default values.

Mathematical rules haven't change since aristhoteles (or whoever was the first to think about calculations), and since all makers from Xp to Ace are ruby-based, that remains the same syntax.


However, the engine itself did change, XP had different actor values than Ace - you can't use names that don't exist anymore, you have to substitute how it was named later.


So it depends entirely on what kind of calculations you have done in those formulae.

Okay, this gives me an idea about what I should look out for during the import process. My question is more or less answered, but can the thread remain open in case I run into any related errors?
