VX ACE[]
RPG Maker VX Ace (short RMVXAce, RMAce, VXAce or simply Ace) is the latest version of Enterbrain's RPG Maker series.
Although the name suggests that Ace is an add-on to VX, its predecessor, Ace actually is a new stand-alone engine. This is emphasized by the fact that you cannot open any VX projects in Ace (or the other way around).
You can find a list of changes from VX to Ace here.
You can, however, update your game from RPG Maker VX to Ace with a conversion program found here.
Structure[]
Ace consisty of three basic parts:
- the Map Editor, where you can create and edit maps and events.
- the Database, where you can change game options, create items, skills, actors, enemies, and more.
- the Script Editor, where you can edit core scripts or add your own.
