Let me quote your previous post so it's on this page along with the CLICKIE link.
And yes, you're right. While I'm not an overt fan of the VX look, I reckon I could use some of those tilesets as soon as I find a VX to XP tileset converter (I've already got one for charsets).
Also, kind of curious as to why RefMap seemed to have skipped developing for XP. But again, the comparisons make me realize that when it comes to graphic style, VX is closer to RM2K than XP as far as I can see.

They often chose a dark teal color for their transparent background rather than the bright peach pink, using pink only three times throughout their sets.
REFMAP is actually still up, but under a different URL now (CLICKIE). Or at least their last update was January 2026.
And their RM2K sample game has all their 2000 resources.
You can see WHY it would be a prized collection. All the Mack and Blue works are of this level.
I took a bit of a DAY off of translating. Well, after the hell of the base message system. But first of the OOFSPRINGS (thank's Ace_V) has been finished. It allows for player movemetn while the player is moving and icons in messages... so very much like the Dubealex, Ccoa and Wachunga systems at the least. Only the exterior graphic file system is the (semi) unique feature.
*When working on ReGaL, I was working with adding SFonts in its message system*
The next OOFSPRINGS seem... if I'm reading the Japanese correctly (GASP!?!?!) ... they seem worthless. BUT need translating anyway.
