Let's talk about Myst V ages...

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

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

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.
