Essentials on RPG Maker MV?

Pokémon Essentials RPG Maker MV Support?

I'm just wondering if the Essentials scripts used in RPG Maker XP will work in RPG Maker MV when it is released.

No. The reason being that the scripts required modifications to work in RMVX (and I still have no idea if that's sufficient), so what makes you think that Essentials will magically not require any changes to work in the next iteration of the RPG Maker software?

As for what changes might be required, no one knows. RMMV isn't out yet, you may have noticed, and without knowing what the scripting will be like in it, or what changes it will make to, well, everything, you'd have to be some kind of wizard to know what alterations will be needed.

It especially won't work because MV isn't using Ruby, and that's what XP uses.

I dont think it would be particularly easy to convert over either due to using javascript and html5 as to an of the rgss languages heres hoping a pokemon project will be made for it once it is out but maruno's is pretty sweet and has lasted this long which shows how well made it is compared to the ones attempted for vx and vxace

I am sure I am far from the first to ask about this, but at the time of this writing, there is but a few hours until RPG Maker MV unlocks on steam.

MV has lots of upgrades that seem awesome for a pokemon game.
More importantly, it uses more standard scripting and file-formats, meaning a Essentials kit could be collaborated with on github or other version-control services.

So I am asking: who wants to try porting the essentials kit over to MV using github to collaborate?

You can't just "port" the kit. Pokémon Essentials is written in Ruby and MV uses JavaScript. You'd have to code it from the ground-up.

I am not sure you know what I mean by porting it.
We need not do everything from the ground up. The existing code in ruby still exist.
True, ruby and javascript is diffrent languages, but both uses dynamic typing. The existing algorithms and scripts can be re-written in javascript to fit the structure in MV.
This is what I mean by porting the essentials kit.

this sound like a great idea now that you can make mac iso and android games on the maker do you know how many of community wishes they could play on the ipad or phone like we can with hacks something like this would be awesome would love to see someone try this.

MV also has some valuable features that XP had, completely removed from it... I expect MV to go a similar way of VX in terms of Essentials.

The mapping is fairly similar to VX, so there is no user specified layering - which to me is a rather significant drawback.

I would help but I have 7 assiments to do, my own pokemon game to make, my parttime job and to cook for my house mates cause none of them can cook to save there life. But hey sometime in the future I could help.

if done right you would just need tile sets set up right to make it work i have a trail right now for 20 days i could mess with and see if we could do this.

From RPG Maker website:

The previous RPG Maker's screen resolution was 544x416 pixels. RPG Maker MV's screen resolution is now 816x624 pixels. The size of all graphical assets (including animations) are now 1.5 times the previous versions of RPG Maker. For example, characters used to be 32x32, and now they are 48x48.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this cause problems with all of the existing Pokemon tilesets?
