Clone .rbxmx files

[MemoryPenguin]

Clone .rbxmx files in the same way as .lua and .rbxs.

Would have to parse .rbxmx files, then convert them to an instance tree.

Notes:

• This is totally possible
• Need bitwise operators
  • Color3s are stored as packed ints; need to be able to shift bits in order to get the individual components
• ColorSequences are in the form time r g b unknown listing out all keypoints
• NumberRanges are in the form min max
• Content references have an inner <url> tag that stores the actual string
• NumberSequences are stored in the form time value envelope
• Enums are stored in token tags with their number value

Update on this: I sat down and put some stuff together; I have a deserializer working for most Roblox types.

There are two exceptions:

• CSG objects
• TerrainRegions

Neither of these can be deserialized easily in Lua. It is theoretically possible to deserialize these objects but it would necessitate reverse-engineering the binary blobs that their data is stored in, then creating the objects from scratch using the data. This is a little too cumbersome for a published solution, though.
