I only have limited internet at the moment but i know there is a XP to VX project somewhere. I had it but lost it. But i know there is one. Maybe Nisage can find it for you. He knows how to google.

It depends really. There are some things that even I can't google :( (:P) So what is it you're asking again? You want VX Charatcer Sprites that look like the XP Character Sprites, or the other way around? As for the map. XP maps don't "normally work in VX. By that I mean someone took an XP map, modified it so it'll fit perfectly in VX. Yes you can have XP Character Sprites in VX, you just have to fix the Sprite Sheet.

for the first question, i asked if there are XP charsets that looks really like the vx main characters. for the second question, do you know any tutorial on how to modify the maps? same goes with the xp character sprites.

For using RMXP charactersets in RMVX, you can import the charsets I converted:

http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index....q=sc&cat=57

I think there may be a script which allows you to import original rmxp styled charactersets(where the grid is but 4x4 and there is one characterset per image file). So you can just use the graphics and there is no need for a conversion in photoshop.

 

EDIT:

 

I found the script.

Script

class Game_Character
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# *initialize
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
alias old_ini initialize
def initialize
old_ini
@original_pattern = 2
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * strength

def straighten
@pattern = 2 if @walk_anime or @step_anime
@anime_count = 0
end
end

class Sprite_Character < Sprite_Base
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Update Transfer Origin Bitmap
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update_bitmap
if @tile_id != @character.tile_id or
@character_name != @character.character_name or
@character_index != @character.character_index
@tile_id = @character.tile_id
@character_name = @character.character_name
@character_index = @character.character_index
if @tile_id > 0
sx = (@tile_id / 128 % 2 * 8 + @tile_id % 8) * 32;
sy = @tile_id % 256 / 8 % 16 * 32;
self.bitmap = tileset_bitmap(@tile_id)
self.src_rect.set(sx, sy, 32, 32)
self.ox = 16
self.oy = 32
else
self.bitmap = Cache.character(@character_name)
sign = @character_name[/^[\!\$\#\%]./]
if sign != nil
# for single VX character
if sign.include?('$')
@cw = bitmap.width / 3
@ch = bitmap.height / 4
@vx_or_xp = 0
# for XP single character
elsif sign.include?('#')
@cw = bitmap.width / 4
@ch = bitmap.height / 4
@vx_or_xp = 1
# for XP character set in VX format
else
@cw = bitmap.width / 16
@ch = bitmap.height / 8
@vx_or_xp = 1
end
# for VX character set
else
@cw = bitmap.width / 12
@ch = bitmap.height / 8
@vx_or_xp = 0
end
self.ox = @cw / 2
self.oy = @ch
end
end
end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● update Transfer origin rect
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update_src_rect
if @tile_id == 0
index = @character.character_index
# XP format

sx = (index % 4 * 3 + pattern) * @cw
end
sy = (index / 4 * 4 + (@character.direction - 2) / 2) * @ch
self.src_rect.set(sx, sy, @cw, @ch)
end
end
end

I tested it, and it works. Here's what you do:

1. Add the script above main in RMVX.

2. Import your RMXP characterset in the Resource Manager(or copy it directly to the folder)

3. Make sure you RMXP Characterset graphic's name starts with a "#". For example: "#005-Fighter05.png".

 

That should work. Any RMVX characters without the "#" will work normally.

 

He knows how to google.

Who knows how to use google now? Thats right, Pol. :P
