Description
Required skills: Python
Difficulty: Medium
At the moment, the converter has basic support for the Age of Empires 1: Definitive Edition (DE1) release. The modpack generator reuses the converter for the original 1998 release (AoE1 + Rise of Rome). New features from DE1, e.g. walkable farms, still need to be supported. A lot of the new features were taken over from AoC, so you can probably reuse functionality from its conversion processor.
Additionally, not all of DE1's media formats (terrain textures, UI, particle effects, etc.) are exported yet. Adding those to the converter would be optional for now. The data conversion is much more important.

Research direction
Start with openage/convert/processor/conversion/de1/processor.py and compare it with the RoR processor, then read the converter architecture and workflow documents. Identify which DE1 data features, such as walkable farms, are missing and whether AoC conversion functionality can be reused. Done means the important DE1 data conversion works; additional media formats are optional.
