Description

Very related to the conversion targets (#79) and the version detection (#61) is the support of converting media and game files from setup disk images. The Python module openage.cabextract provides cab extraction features needed by the .cab files on the disc.

  1. Pass mount point of the original CD (or ISO image)
  2. Detect version of the disk image
  3. Use fslike abstraction to mount all archives on disk.
  4. Convert contents of mounted archives.

The invocation should originate from openage/convert/driver.py.

Research direction

Start in openage/convert/driver.py and inspect the Python module openage.cabextract, then review the related conversion-targets (#79) and version-detection (#61) issues. The work is complete when a CD mount point or ISO can be version-detected, its archives mounted through the fslike abstraction, and their contents converted.
