Version 0.91 (Untested : Windows)

Warranty

This software is provided, as is. There is no warranty, so before you screw yourself over, backup your projects Use at your own risk.

What is this?

Nothing big, this little package contains 2 scripts so to speak, which convert VX (rvdata) to a VX2Ace (vx2dump) and then to Ace (rvdata2)

Features

  Conversion of RPG Maker VX project data to RPG Maker VXA Compliant

Future Plans

1 . A working linux port. For whatever reason I'd want that.
2 . Purify source code, and make the process a little easier.
3 . Integrity Checker for the command line version

Few problems:

Armor
  Prevent Critical has not been solved and implemented.

State
  Offset by Opposite, is not supported.

Scripts
  So far I have been able to extract scripts.rvdata and scripts.rvdata2
  However repacking has posed a problem when working with the editor.
  Besides, who would need their old VX Scripts for Ace anyway, since their 
  incompatible anyway.

How to Use:

vx2ace-conf.rb - VX2Ace Config File

VXDataIn=<String>
  Set a folder for the source *.rvdata
  default:
    "vx2-data-in"

VXDataOut=<String>
  Set a output folder for the VX Hash Data
  default:
    "vx2-data-out"

AceDataOut=<String>
  Set a output directory for the Completed Ace data
  default:
    "vx2-data-out-ace"

ActorParam2Class=<Boolean>
  A change in VXA was that Actor's no longer had Parameters
  This was instead moved to classes.
  By default V2A does not copy Actor Parameters to the corresponding classes
  **You should only use this, if each actor has there own unique class.
  default:
    true

CleverClassEquip=<Boolean>
  This will try to create unique weapon and armor types for classes
  default:
    false

NOTE - this file is actually loaded as ruby code, so you can do some crazy stuff if you need to.

Windows Users

1 . Copy your *.rvdata (RMVX) into the <VXDataIn> folder, if the folder does not exist, create it.
    Do not copy:
      Animations.rvdata
      Scripts.rvdata
     
    To use them in Ace simply change the extensions to rvdata2 and copy them to your project's data folder.
2 . Run VX2Hash.exe
3 . Wait for it to finish, and check the <VXDataOut>, ensure that you have *.vx2dump files.
4 . Run Hash2Ace.exe
5 . Wait for it to finish, and check the <AceDataOut> folder to ensure that you have *.rvdata2 files.
6 . Copy your new files from the <AceDataOut> folder into your Ace project's data folder and replace
7 . Congrats, you have converted your RMVX project to Ace.
8 . You may copy your Animations.rvdata, Scripts.rvdata,
    after renaming them to change their extension to rvdata2.
      These are the only files that remain persistent between VX and VXA
     
9 . Give cookies to IceDragon     
10. You could just use the VX2Ace.bat, and then copy the files from <AceDataOut>, your choice.

Linux / Command-line Users

nix-main.rb has a few parameters you can use.
Just simply run nix-main.rb with no parameters to see the help, or just --help as a parameter

  Source folder, 
    default: <VXDataIn> when using --tohash
    default: <VXDataOut> when using --toace

<--dest>
  Destination folder, 
    default: <VXDataOut> when using --tohash
    default: <AceDataOut> when using --toace 

1 . Copy your *.rvdata (RMVX) into the <--src> folder, if the folder does not exist, create it.
    Do not copy:
      Animations.rvdata
      Scripts.rvdata
     
    To use them in Ace simply change the extensions to rvdata2 and copy them to your project's data folder.
2 . ruby nix-main.rb --tohash
3 . Wait for it to finish, and check the <--dest>, ensure that you have *.vx2dump files.
