Hi everyone, I recently used AI assistance to upgrade the RMMZ core to the PixiJS v8 version.

With the help of AI, the basic functions are now working correctly.

Main Changes:

  • Core Upgrade: Upgraded PixiJS to v8.
  • WebGPU Support: Map rendering now supports WebGPU.
  • Tilemap Rewrite: To ensure compatibility with v8, I directly re-implemented the map rendering system using pixi-tilemap.
This is an experimental project. While the basic functions work, the API changes in PixiJS v8 are so significant that almost all current RMMZ plugins are incompatible. My current take is: if you are starting a new project from scratch, you can use this version as a foundation; however, I do not recommend migrating existing projects, as the plugin breakage will be severe.

Project Link: The project is now public on GitLab. If you're interested in trying it out, feel free to clone it.
