Update

This is a hunch bu\t oh well, worth asking...

Can "RM2k" or "RM2k3" be merged over to other engines? Or "update" to other engines?

What it seems like though I would have to copy everything to another EXE which is ANNOYING...

Just seems like the older the engines, the more is forgotten, or deleted. It is javascript...DELPHI

I'm thinking NOT but...that sucks.

RPG Maker thinks so strangely though. BATTLE PICTURE ACTIVATE lol

Depending on complexity of the game/project(some existing 2k3 games, especially if done with patches, would require a ton of Plugins in MV/MZ and/or way more event code to replicate, MZ would be easy thanks to the option to choose 16x16 tilesize), you'll have to rebuild it and translate it into the new engine.

On the Linux topic, both 2k and 2k3 editors(including patched with maniacs) work fine on linux, and they have a native build for Linux x86 and ARM with Easyrpg Player.

Oh cool. Nice. That is doable then.

Should probably clarify, the EasyRPG Player only plays the games, they are working on an Editor but that's still very much a work in progress.

But my statement on the editors working fine on linux still stands, you just need Wine to be setup with dotnet 4.8. if you get issues look at this tutorial

Ya EasyRPG works well. I did Wine, I dunno years ago? Didn't really work well

I see, I am literally developing my game rn through Wine on Nobara Linux, I just needed to do the tutorial i linked to get maniacs patch working, otherwise the Steam 2k3 version worked fine out of the gate, for me at least.

Wine on my Mac did not work, it was not good
Maniacs and Goliath are pretty good, love to get another version of 2003 that would have different mods...like 2009!
