How to get the SWF:


[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
At first, we start our browser with a new tab, insert this "http://darkorbit.com/spacemap/xml/resources.xml" and press Enter.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Now you can see a long list, with filespaths. With CTRL + F you can search a specified file.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
We are searching the entry "ship1". In this line, you can find some infos: "file id", "location", "name" and "type". The rest isn't important.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Now we change the url to "http://darkorbit.com/spacemap/", but DON'T press Enter!

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
We insert at the end, "graphics/", because we are searching for a graphic

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Now insert "ships". The entry "ship1" is located in the location "ships", how you can see at the picture.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
At the end we place "ship1" there.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
And now the type, which is called "swf". The URL, should look now so: "http://darkorbit.com/spacemap/graphics/ships/ship1.swf"

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
We are pressing Enter and are landing on a white site. Thats good so. Now press CTRL + S to safe this swf file.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Safe it anywhere, where you can find it quickly again.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
In this folder is now a flash file. (Icon is not everytime the same).

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Now, we need a SWF Decompiler. You can google it and then open this file with the decompiler.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Now open it.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
On the right site, you can click on a plus and a tree is built. (Could be different in other decompilers)

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
In the tree is now a entry, called "Image".

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Click now on the plus to select every image. You can watch it and save it, if you rightclick it and click "Export Resource". (Can be different in other decompilers)

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Here you can choose, where to safe the files.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
This is not important. Just click yes then

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
In the folder, where you saved the file, is a folder named "ship1". Open it

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
..there is a folder named "Image"...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
...there are now all pics, which you have exported

It's working with all resources on the same way.

(c) go to ReCon from official german DO Forum, for the example pictures

Nice and detailed tutorial. Thank you

Nice tutorial, it's too bad Chrome doesn't have an easy way to get swf files.

Nice but please put it into a spoiler.

Good tutorial man.

bu kız yıne burda its good thanks

Hello guys,

Since I am lazy, I have coded, some minutes ago, a tool which permits me to automatically download all files listed in the resources.xml remote file, and hosted the resulting folder on Mediafire. The latter performed a virusscan so feel free to download it.

PS: The archive contains only raw .swf and .png files, images in .swf files are NOT extracted. This is only a way to avoid the manual download.

PS2: Sorry if my english is a little shaky, im not a native english user ;)
