Everything really can be taken from the old files. The problem is that some things simply do not work with .dat format. Such as dynamic shadows, reflections, and a few other effects. If a group were to really try to tackle importing another sub I think it is possible.

My next pet project will be to add objects in the sub using .dat files. Lets see if I make progress.
