Hi Marc, I'll try to document better the different commands when I have time.
These scripts have been created to be used all together and some of them generate files that other needs. For example bitd2bmp needs the data.json that is generated by the casxtract script (the data.json file contains the information of that bitmap in the Director "casting"). And casxtract scripts needs several files with the casting information that should have been extracted by riffxtract from the director file.
In order to use something different from riffxtract you will need to create manually two directories (./bin and ./cas), put every file that is included inside the director file in the ./bin directory and the run drxtract. If everything works you will find the images (and most of the other casting elements) inside the ./cas directory.
But normally the first step is trying with "mac" instead o "pc", because sometimes the Director files that we try to extract were generated by using a Mac instead of a PC.
So please try using "drxtract mac ../intro.dxr ./" and let me know if it works.
Best regards!
Hi Marc, I just documented the commands. Please take a look into: https://github.com/System25/drxtract/wiki/Drxtract-scripts

Hello,
I've tried your tools for an old Macromedia Director 4.0.4 game.
All of the resource files are
.DXR
and not.DRX
, so I couldn't use yourdrxtract
tool.Using the command
drxtract pc ../intro.dxr ./
returns the following error:I've used ProjectorRays to do that, which produced a lot of
.bin
files with different names (ie:BITD-100.bin
,CLUT-50.bin
, `Lscr-93.bin', and so on.).I've first tried to convert all the
BITD-xx.bin
files to BMPs withbitd2bmp
But I got the error message
ERROR:root: './data.json' is not a file
. Making an empty JSON file withtouch data.json
will result in another error message:ERROR:root: 'BITD-100.bin' does not end in .BITD
. And renamingBITD-100.bin
too100.BITD
will just crashbitd2json
:I don't know what is this
data.json
file is supposed to be. I thought that it maybe should be generated withclut2json
, but this software itself is looking for adata.json
.So my question is the following: can your tools be used to extract content when the DXR have been extracted with another tool? Or could you please have a little write-up about the proper usage of each tools?
