[rpgds] RPG Maker resources converter
Rave
have alot of rm2003/2000 and xp resources (mainly charsets and
chipsets/tilesets) and converting these resources "by hand" would be
painful and long way ;). My resource collection is about 4000+
resources, so...

Java, but I won't promise anything

there is no alpha channels and you'll need to resize it, because rm2k3
ChipSets have 16x16 tiles instead of 32x32. Of course Sinc
interpolations known from GIMP or another SuperEagle would be pretty
useful. You need also add alpha channel based on background color,
because after resizing resources would be blurred also on edges, so
normal transparent generation method of RPGds based on colors will
fail.

there will be too tiny compared to objects from tilesets.

try, it shouldnt be too hard to just load an image, resize and
rearrange it and then save it again.
As for the alpha, that will probably have to be a user-chosen colour.

Resizing dated resources from engines like rm2k/xp will only give you ugly scaled, either pixelated or blurry (even with the best filters) images that will end up with a lot of wasted, unused space in tilesets and others.
If you must use an rpg makers resources, I suggest using them from rpg maker vx which uses resources that are very compatible with rpgds with little to no modifications.

pixelated ones) if resize factor is >400% (or in some cases even
more). So if you resize it x2 it won't be so much visible (it would be
only visible with pixelated images).

all, so I will be grateful. I seen only good xp resources. Using vX
rtp isn't good idea, because it's maybe nice, but I seen it in so many
RM games and i am bored with rtp.

hard to program to determine good automatic color, especially with
charsets. And with resizing - try use some filters, so image wouldn't
be pixelated. If I'd choose between pixelated and blurry - I would
rather use blurry, especially it wouldn't be so blurry because
resizing from 16x16 to 32x32 is not giving very blurry images.

I disagree, even at 200% the blur in resized images makes them almost unbearable to look at for any length of time, and then try stretching those images full screen on an lcd monitor and it looks like your game went through the blender.
If you plan to use scaling, the best bet is no filtering at all, becauser when all is said and done its going to be scaled on your monitor in full screen mode anyway.

This will provide you with a full development environment and GUI
creation tool. You can then design a nice GUI and a simple converter
application, and possibly even make it into a plugin for RPGds if you
desire.
This isnt something that will be done officially as I have already
created tools like this in the past and the resources do not turn out
well no matter what filter you use during the upscale. There is also
a lot of wasted space on the textures, which results in an over
bloated RAM and VRAM requirement for your game.
