RPG Maker MV -> MZ

[Tentacurls]

I thought it was exciting to see the offered MV for free when you preordered MZ, as if saying you can convert your mv game to mz. But I haven't been able to find anything on the topic & browsed through this forum a bit as well (sorry if I didn't find it). Maybe they just mean the mv engine is so similar to mz you can get use to it there lmao.

Is there anything on if theres a way to convert MV games to MZ without the use of mods? If not, is there any likely way they would add in such a feature or are we out of luck?

wrong forum section - RPG creator is a different program than RPG Maker.

There are limits for converting projects - if there weren't, they could just have updated MV.
Basically they had to change several functions of the engine, which means that script calls and plugins are no longer compatible.

What could be done (and has been done previously) is transferring the non-scripted data into the new formats. For example MV had an Ace-script included that transferred the database and map data into MV formats.
Those scripts are usually done by the community, not by Kadokawa. And that means that they need a bit of time before they are available (in case of MV the scripter had access during betatest so the script was finished on release).

It's simply too early to expect such a transfer plugin to be finished yet.

There will be a way to convert a project from MV to MZ, but like the Ace to MV converter, it won't do plugins, script calls might not work, and plugin calls probably won't work either considering the changes to the plugin command.

At least this time you won't have to convert the resources manually.
