VX -> Ace Conversion Program

[endafy 20]

Same problem as above, but when i try to open it, it comes up with...

 

'Failed to load map info data'

 

Oddly enough I have the same issue, I tried running as Administrator, is there any other magic I need to throw at it? Upon further inspection of the project/data folder, no new maps were added, only map001.rvdata2. I also noticed nothing else changed, no graphics added to the graphics folder or sounds, etc. the game.ini file is intact. I am doing this with 2 new projects, I made 2 maps and linked them with teleports in and out in VX, then tried to convert over to VX Ace to see if it was my project and nope, still same thing.

Well, I inserted the script into the VXAce project after conversion but I get an error after selecting New Game:

Script 'Game_BattlerBase' line 187: TypeError occurred.
can't convert RPG::BaseItem::Feature into Array

I'm just stating the error as it might help with fixing the software.

 

I never intended to run the game anyway.

Once the project could open in RMVXAce with some things like the list of Skills, Items, Maps, then I'm fine because all I did was copy-paste the maps, skills, and items over to my real RMVXAce project and tweak them back to how they should be.

That's enough for me and I'm happy. Thanks FenixFyreX.

@Fenix yeah, same issue.

 

I have no idea what the dealie is.

[endafy 20]

What voodoo magic do I need to do to get this to work?

The voodoo magic of patience.

 

Because its bugged for some peeps, including me.

I even redownloaded it thinking my copy was bugged from my internet connection. Was this developed on 32 or 64 bit Windows? Maybe it is doing some screwey 64 bit address thing... I do need to upgrade to 64 bit Windows 7, but I am too lazy to backup EVERYTHING I have after 3 years lol.

[DAVE_EBUBBLES 16]

well thats probably not the case, since i have windows XP 32 bit

[endafy 20]

It might very well be because we are both on 32 bit systems. If it calls some extension that only a 64 bit processor can read, remember vx ace now supports 64 bit processors natively now within the same exe file. I see a lot of pseudo executables supporting both 32 and 64 bit now extensions and if this program was designed to do that, it might be confusing something simple on the 32 bit end of things. It may very well work perfectly on 64 bit Windows, seeing as most Windows 7 PCs are sold with 64 bit only anymore.

@Fenix 32 bit computer and same problem here. it isn't working for me.

Forget what I said, these guys might be on to something, maybe.

[+ FenixFyreX 18]

Yeah, I run 64 bit windows, BUT: Nothing I have written in the code is relative to the 32/64 bit differences. I'm going to distribute a debugging copy to a couple people, and we'll see if we can't sort this out.

[endafy 20]

In the meantime I have been proporting to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows anyhow. I have held myself back because my scanner which I never use, except for work is windows 32 bit only, but I intend on buying a newer better flatbed scanner. I will test this in 64 bit Windows 7.

 

It may very well be but your compiler might just do it for you, especially if it is gcc. I know that a lot of gcc crap when compiled on 64 bit ignores everything else because the people who made gcc64 for Windows are lazy. If your compiler whatever it may be is poorly coded, then your exe files won't work the way it should.

[DAVE_EBUBBLES 16]

Fenix is generally a pretty darn good coder but there is a chance he didn't know of this and I suppose then it was simply an oversight?

 

I'm not sure what language he's using, it may not be GCC, but it may be, i dont know!

[kayden997 84]

Yeah, It's generally the same problem with my 32 Bit Windows 7.

I'll tell my friend to test it on his 64 bit and see if it works

 

EDIT:

Alas, no luck in 64.

Same here I kept meaning to install Windows 7 64 because world of warcraft next patch will have x64 bit support, and most if not all of my applications support 64 bit now. There are the few exceptions that are still 32 bit.

 

The application doesn't translate the files I specifically installed vx 30 day and vx ace from Japanese disk and I went to translate the files over and alas to no avail still the same erogonous error about not loading maps in 64 so it isn't gcc, I still doubt it is your coding skills I think maybe perhapse a typbo you missed rather than lack of skill.Keep up the amazing work, for it is wonderful and I am a fan of this app!

I figured out why it isn't working for anyone.

 

Bear with me, its a really stupid thing I should've realized a WHILE ago T_T You need to install ruby 1.9.3. Either than, or I change my script from calling ruby to calling an exe of that ruby script...FFUUUU I'll have the latter up tonight..

[endafy 20]

Still broken still wont load map data, I always install Ruby I hope the latter exe will work

You need to install ruby 1.9.3.

So that's why it worked for me...

Good to know you've isolated the problem.

Version 1.5 up for download! Lets hope this is it, folks

[DAVE_EBUBBLES 16]

Still broken still wont load map data

Same here. I thought that installing ruby 1.9.3 may fix it, but it returns the same old, so yeah, hopefully your second idea will work.

 

Oh Cripes, we must have posted basically the same time.

 

Edit: Okay, it still does the same thing it usually does, ruby installed and all.

 

If there was any advice I could give you, it would be to check out the other one thats kicking around, it is buggy, but it works, so maybe you can find out the mistake you made?

Bizarre, did you try the version I posted? The post just before yours and after kaydens?

Edited January 30, 2012 by FenixFyreX

[kayden997 84]

Alright, It actually finished converting the project... But there's a problem.

Nothing truly converted.

There maps are there but there's nothing inside it and it's all 17x13.

 

None of the events, maps, custom animations, character.... And so on

[endafy 20]

HAHA Awesome! Works!!! It translated all that I cared about. I honestly didn't expect it to load maps which is completely nominal to me, I can copy and paste the maps over then fix the graphics accordingly. This even converted the custom battles and custom animations so this did 99% of the work for me! Copied custom common events, every single switch and variable naming them accordingly. It didn't convert graphics of the custom battles, but by placing the graphics in the corrosponding folders this fixed that because it would error out when play testing asking for a file name lol.

 

If the app was suppose to copy my maps then meh, it did not copy the vx map data over which is kind of weird, it does, however, copy the map data if you have custom map data loaded so woot.

 

I gues to fix the problem of it not loading map data copy the vx rtp to your vx project's corrosponding folder then do the convert because it loaded the custom tileset I have!

 

EDIT: It only works sometimes which I find really odd seeing how it worked once then not again when trying a different project...

[DAVE_EBUBBLES 16]

@Fenix, yeah, but I only tried it once, so hold on, I'll try hammering away with it.

 

Edit: Oh, there was another download, my bad. :3
