Importing MV maps to Ace

[Juanita Star]

Hope Im in the right forum.

Thing is, I have this project on Ace that I cant import to MV because sprites stuff. But I want to use MV maps that I got on a pack in Ace.

It is possible to transfer the MV maps to Ace?

You could try to make a map in Ace and replace it with the map from MV in the project folder, tbh i dunno if it works tho and how it would look because the sprites are quiet different.
but its worth a try.
I have no Ace, so i cant try, sry.

That will not work. The map files are saved in a completely different format. The OP is wanting to use MV maps in Ace, not Ace maps in MV.

You would need to have a script to read the MV map file and convert it from JSON to the RGSS data format. AFAIK no script exists to do that. I know there has been at least one other request for this, but I wrote the script to convert from Ace to MV, and it was a LOT of work. I don't know if anyone would want to go to the trouble of converting the other way for one or two requests.

I think the best way is to use a free graphic editor to downsize the graphic files and then remake the map in Ace. of course for legal concerns, you would have to check with the resource Terms Of Use, but if it's the default graphics, then it's fine if you own both editors.

Thanks everyone for your input! I think my best bet for now is trying to just... make the map a parallax map.
