Moho Animation Forum

This is a LONG SHOT. I no longer have access to ancient versions of moho, sadly. I found a batch of ancient files and was hoping to have a look. This is NOT CRITICAL, just a long shot.
This is the really old format that was in a readable JSON file format. These are version 5 files, which you could view in a text editor. I haven't experimented yet with fiddling around with it, and thought I would ask here first if anyone has successfully modified or converted those files without an earlier version.

Im not sure but seem to recall there was a way to see "inside" modern moho files and find that readable json format? my memory is not as good as it should be but I seem to remember this process on a mac and being able to find it inside the file somehow. Im on windows now and can't seem to find this anymore. Quite logically it may have been done away with in newer versions. I'm on 14 at the moment.

Modern files are just zip archives, with the condensed plain text file inside. It really helps to use the beautifying Python script to make them more readable.

You can open the old files directly in Moho 14, if you rename them to: <filename>.anme

Don't forget that the way paths are calculated changed (in AS7 IIRC). I've just tried to find the "legacy curves" option in 14, but can't... It was in vector layer settings -- so you might need to go via 13.5 to get the curves sorted out.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I found an older post discussing the new file format as an "archive", but I couldn't use that solution.
HOWEVER, simply changing the extension to .anme worked perfectly!!!! Opened up fine in v14! Cool Beans!
