Summary

Archived First Post

I have a bunch of ancient Rm3k games and I kind of want to port them to MV.
Converting resources is easy, and database info is fairly quick.

However, manually adding maps and events on those maps is a ton of work. Is there some way to automate this or make this easier?

I found a converter that can turn Rm3k's .lmu files into readable XML files, so it should be possible to (at least partially) convert those to json files.

Is there a program that can convert RPG Maker 2000/2003 maps to Rpg Maker MV?

Alternatively, converting them to RPG VX ACE files would work too, as since VXACE maps can be converted to RMMV.
