How do I use it? Windowsĭevelopment builds are available on the releases page. If you run into any issues, please report them on the issue tracker. If you have a CCT (published Shockwave cast) or CXT (protected Director cast), ProjectorRays can generate a CST (editable Director cast). If you have a DCR (published Shockwave movie) or DXR (protected Director movie), ProjectorRays can generate a DIR (editable Director movie). ProjectorRays can take a published game, reconstruct its Lingo source code, and generate editable project files to aid preservation efforts. Nowadays, Shockwave games are unplayable on the modern web, and their original source code is often lost or unavailable. Over the years, the platform was used for countless CD-ROM and web games, before being fully discontinued in 2019. Beginning in 1995, Director movies could be published as DCR files and played on the web with the Shockwave plugin.

ProjectorRays is a decompiler for Adobe Shockwave and Adobe Director (formerly known as Macromedia Shockwave and Macromedia Director, and not to be confused with Shockwave Flash).ĭirector was released in 1987, and it quickly became the world's leading multimedia platform.
