Let's talk about Myst V ages...

[Jamey]

Ok, I just got done converting a few MOUL ages without any problems so far(except for Minkata & Payiferen). But while I was in the ages, I was thinking...if converting the MOUL ages is possible, is it possible to do the same with Myst V ages?

I'm pretty sure it would be since the file layout is pretty simmilar...but I'm not sure, which is why I asked here.

Any ideas?

Anything is possible.

The current tools cannot convert Myst V.

As Paradox said, none of the publicly available tools are able to convert Myst V to Uru.

However, the formats aren't all too different. In fact, sometime last year, I managed to get M5 importing to work in PyPRP. That has long since been broken though. It should still be available in the Alcugs SVN though...

Well, I do hope that eventually we'll be able to put together the tools we need, I mean, the files are SO similar to the Uru Age files, so I think it would be just a matter of getting the right tools to get the job done. I would love to be able to go to the whole myst island in Uru...or if we get the Myst V content when Uru Live eventually comes back, either of those I'd be happy with

[Jamey]

I'm also guessing the same goes for converting realMYST ages right?

[Paradox]

realMYST uses Plasma 1. It is not possible in any way to convert from Plasma 1 to Plasma 2. They are two entirely different engines.

Oh what a shame, that would really be great. Still, Myst V would be nice to import, I really liked that game.

Look at the Drizzle project on Alcugs.
