I realized I can just dump RPG Maker game's files into an empty project and it'll let me get into its guts, which is fun. I can load up older RPGM VX games easily, but trying to do the same with games that use RPGM MV and MZ's JavaScript formatted files lets me load up map data and CommonEvents.json, but tilesets and other graphical assets are missing.

Does anyone here know anything about how RPGM MV works, or am I better off digging around on its site and F95 for answers? My first thought is that the images are encrypted in .rpgmvp format, but logically the program should be able to handle that format.

It's fun to mess around with.
