How to rip the music and graphics from Eastern Mind

This tutorial actually works for all Macromedia Director games, not just Eastern Mind!

To set up Director, download the installer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/director/updates/mx2004/win/dmx2004_101_update_en.exe In newer versions of Windows, you may need to run both the installer and the program itself in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP. When you're prompted for a license key, type the following: DRD100-50836-87264-59396

In order to export, download these Xtras: Sharp Export http://web.archive.org/web/20070214181137/http://www.sharp-software.com:80/xtras/SharpExport.zip Audio Xtra - http://xtras.tabuleiro.com/download/audio.htm Extract them and place the .x32 files in this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Macromedia\Director MX 2004\Configuration\Xtras\Scripting.

Now open Director and create a new movie (Ctrl+N). Press CTRL + Shift + U to create a new script. Link each game file to your movie (CTRL + Shift + C; Link...). Each file needs to have a ".dir" extension; don't use a game version with protected ".dxr" files. Be sure to select "all files" from the "files of type" dropdown, or your files will not appear. If any dialogs (such as "locate replacement") show up just dismiss them. (Note: If you really need to export from protected files, download DirOpener from here -  http://web.archive.org/web/20150512145925/http://www.j-roen.net/diropener/dirOpener300-702-1-PC.zip You can use DirOpener to convert the dxr files.)

Once all the files are linked, go back to your script window and paste in the code from here: https://pastebin.com/QWvHzzfd

Next, find the folder on your computer that you want to put your new files in. Copy the path to that folder. In Director, find "your_path_here" in the script and replace it with the path you just copied. Make sure you don't delete the quotes! Press Shift-F8 to save your changes.

Press Ctrl-M to bring up Director's message window. To export all of the game's pictures, type "exportImages" (without the quotes) and hit enter. To export all the sounds, type "exportAudio" (without the quotes) and hit enter. The files should appear in the folder on your computer that you defined.

Congratulations, you're done!
