A Lune script that attempts to convert a Roblox .rbxl(x) place file to Rojo-style format (for fully-managed projects).

Please note I only made this for personal use, so it may be quite buggy and incomplete, however I bet it can do at least 80% of the work for you. I won't be actively maintaining this repository.

This tool is different from https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rbxlx-to-rojo in that it supports a fully-managed rojo workflow as opposed to only partially-managed. Again, this tool isn't perfect but I think it does the job pretty well.

Best results occur when all your game scripts are stored in one of these containers: Directly under a Service, Folders, Models, Configurations. If your scripts are stored anywhere else (e.g. under a Part as a touch damage script, or under a Gui instance.), conversion may not be fully complete.

"meta files" and "meta.json" both mean the same thing in relation to this README.md

1. Install aftman and both selene + stylua VS Code extensions.
2. Clone the repository and run aftman install
3. Place a .rbxl(x) place file inside the repo folder.
4. If your place file is named "game.rbxl" you can skip this step, otherwise rename the place file or go to .lune/roblox-to-rojo.lua and modify the PLACE_FILE_PATH constant to match your place file name.
5. Modify the settings inside .lune/roblox-to-rojo.lua as you desire.
6. Run lune roblox-to-rojo.lua

• If the instance is a Script AND has no children -> save as script (.lua)
• If the instance is a Script AND has children / Not a script AND contains scripts (descendants) -> save as folder (either init*.lua or meta.json)
• If the instance is not a script AND doesn't contain any scripts (descendants) -> save as model (.rbxm)

• You can specify which services to save if you don't want to do a full conversion.
• Recursively loops through the place's services and automatically creates everything such as the required folders, scripts, model/meta.jsons, rbxms etc. as outlined in https://rojo.space/docs/v7/sync-details/
• (WIP) Preserves scripts/local scripts Disabled property using meta.jsons
• Preserves instance AND service-specific (WIP) attributes.
• Preserves instance AND service-specific (WIP) tags.
• Creates a new project.json file that specifies the properties and sub-services (like StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts) of all services defined in CONTAINERS
• Only saves properties that aren't already set to a default value (most of the time).
• You can force specific instances to be saved as a model file in case the conversion process goes bad for those specific instances. You can provide either an instance name or an exact path in FORCE_SAVE_AS_MODEL:
  • Name = "Vehicles"
  • Path = "Workspace.Vehicles"

• Automatic wally package linking in project.json

• Instance names with any of the following characters will get replaced by an underscore (_): \ / : * ? "< > | This is a restriction of Windows.
• Does not preserve Ref values in meta files (e.g. Model.PrimaryPart, Sound.SoundGroup) isn't possible yet. A way to fix this is to remove any scripts under the instance that has a Ref value so it can be saved as a model file (.rbxm) instead (which WILL preserve Refs as long as they are a child of the instance).
• Does not preserve PackageLinks (they are deleted when converting atm.)
• CFrame attributes aren't supported by rojo yet, so they are automatically converted into strings in rojoifyValue
