dir-projector

Package for creating Shockwave Director projectors

Overview

Creates Shockwave Director projectors from a projector skeleton.

Takes either a directory containing a skeleton or a shockpkg projector package file.

Can also create bundles that group the projector and resources in a directory beside a single launcher for Windows or within an application bundle for macOS.

Reading DMG projector packages is only supported on macOS.

Currently only flat projectors are supported, not the kind that Director makes where everything is appended to the main binary in some format, and extracted to a temporary directory when run.

await projector.withFile('skeleton.dmg', 'config.ini');

Bundle

Windows

import {BundleWindows32} from '@shockpkg/dir-projector';

const bundle = new BundleWindows32('bundle-windows32/application.exe');

// Use projector property to set options.
bundle.projector.includeXtras = {
    '': null
};

await bundle.withFile('skeleton.zip', 'config.ini', async b => {
    // Add resources in callback.
    await b.copyResource('movie.dir', 'movie.dir');
});

Mac App

import {BundleMacApp} from '@shockpkg/dir-projector';

const bundle = new BundleMacApp('bundle-macapp/application.app');

// Use projector property to set options.
bundle.projector.includeXtras = {
    '': null
};

await bundle.withFile('skeleton.dmg', 'config.ini', async b => {
