Moving from MV to MZ

[Siffers]

I'm considering moving my little hobby project over to MZ and was wondering how hard or possible it would be.
I'm currently using a whole suite of Yanfly plugins and noticed that VisuStella has a lot that do essentially the same thing.
The main part I'm worried about is converting custom skills from Yanfly scripts to VisuStella ones, such as the examples Yanfly provides on their website.

Heya,

If you mean the Yanfly Tips and Tricks that showcased a bunch of skills with scripting examples, while the implementation does differ sometimes, Trihan very generously took the time to list out how to implement each of them in MZ using Visustella, in this thread: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...-effect-in-mz-with-visustella-plugins.143816/

I think almost all of them are able to be replicated with just a few that might not be possible due to a Visustella equivalent not existing or working in quite the same way.

Beyond that, I would say to make sure to research and be sure VS can do everything you might want before swapping over. As VS does largely have everything, there were a few omissions here and there. And the more obfuscated nature of the code for VS means you can't adjust things under the hood as easily if you want to customise beyond the extent of what the plugin options offer, which I know can be a dealbreaker for some depending on how much they wanted to customise it all.

On the plus side, though, with VS, you do ultimately end up getting plugins that are actively being maintained and added to over the course of the months, so if you did run into issues or bugs, the team are pretty good about implementing fixes if you reach out to them--at least from my experiences.

Thank you very much for the quick reply!
I'll be sure to look into what all I'd have to give up in the move before diving into MZ instead.
I've liked a lot of what I've seen so far for it, and I'm glad I'm early enough that I should be able to adjust pretty easily to any changes I'll need to make from plugins I can't find substitutes for.
Being able to replicate the things from Yanfly's Tips and Tricks is probably what will be the final push for me to move over to MZ, as I was also using them to learn how to make my own custom skills and would be saddened if I no longer had examples to learn from ♥
