HTML5 Curation

ThePowerPlayer: Moved HTTPS removal to the main part of the tutorial

HTML5 games are currently not nearly as endangered as Flash games, and are in fact often cited as replacing the Flash medium. However, they still pose a risk of disappearing at some point in time, and therefore should be considered for curation just like other web game formats.

This tutorial assumes you've read the standard [[Curation Tutorial]], which is highly recommended to go through. Try curating a Flash game before moving on to HTML5.

== Identifying HTML5 Games ==
If a web game doesn't ask to enable Adobe Flash Player and there's no sign or mention of any of the other [[Platforms]], it is very likely an HTML5 game. Many use game engines as their base, the most prominent example being Unity WebGL, which replaced the previous [[Unity_Curation|Unity NPAPI implementation]] that no longer works.

To confirm this, press F12 to open the Developer Tools of your browser, click on the Inspect Element button, and click on the game area. In the <code>Elements</code> tab, this will show you the <code>iframe</code> the game is located in, and there you'll find the link for the main file of the game. You can also look for a <code>.html</code> file, likely with the filename <code>index.html</code>. However, this is not always present; the <code>iframe</code> for many modern games will have no filename or extension at the end. These look like a regular URL rather than a link to a file.

Copy the file's link and go to it. If it plays an unobstructed version of the game, you've found the source of your Launch Command. Keep in mind that not all games should be divorced from the page they are found in, such as individual games outside of webgame websites.

'''Make sure to always use http:// instead of https:// to make sure Flashpoint grabs files from the fake Internet instead of the real one!'''

== Grabbing The Game From The Internet ==
[[File:Individual-Sprites-HTML5-example.png|thumb|300px|Some games have one or more image files that act as sprite sheets, while others will have each unique texture as an individual file, so make sure to get them all.]]

There are an extremely low number of HTML5 games that are single-asset. For multi-asset curations, you have two main options, both of which are [[Curation Tutorial#Using cURLsDownloader for Multi-Asset Games|described here]], but each is more suited for different tasks which we'll explain here.

Create a new curation in the Curate tab of Flashpoint and fill it out with as much information as you can, including the Launch Command you found earlier. The Platform should be <code>HTML5</code>, and the Application Path should be <code>FPSoftware\fpnavigator-portable\FPNavigator.exe</code>, referring to the Flashpoint Navigator browser used for most HTML5 games.

After inputting the launch command, use <code>Run with MAD4FP</code>, and start playing the game. [[MAD4FP]] will download any assets automatically as you play and make progress.

If the game's webpage has a favicon (a small unique icon that appears on a webpage's browser tab), MAD4FP will not be able to grab it if you launch the game with FPNavigator. To get around this issue, use the launch command <code>FPSoftware\startChrome.bat</code> and run it with MAD4FP at least once, and that should grab the favicon file once it loads. You can then change the launch command back to FPNavigator.

'''REMEMBER, ALWAYS TEST THE GAME 100%, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL!''' This is true for all games, but especially HTML5, as nearly none are single-asset, you are almost guaranteed to find a multi-asset. Because of how it works, most games will only call assets when needed, so make sure to navigate all the menus, click all the buttons, and play the game as thoroughly as possible. This may include hidden collectables, unique voice lines, downloadables, completion bonuses, etc.

Wayback will not save these missing assets on a normal capture, and computers/browsers tend to clear cache much more frequently for optimization, making cache dumps unlikely to yield anything, so once it's gone, it's likely gone for good. Better to catch everything first try and make sure it's not lost. For more information on multi-assets in general, [[Curation Tutorial#Using cURLsDownloader for Multi-Asset Games|go here]].

Once you've finished playing through the game, you need to make sure that all of the game's assets have actually been downloaded. To do this, first close Navigator, and clear its cache by following [[Extended FAQ#ClearBasiliskCache|these instructions]], then close Navigator. Next, press the <code>Run</code> button to test the game again, this time without using MAD4FP. If the game does not work, MAD4FP likely failed to download some of the required assets. Follow the instructions in the [[#Missing Assets|Missing Assets]] section to complete the curation.

=== HTTPS Removal ===
Don't be surprised if the game doesn't work at first; HTML5 games are relatively stable and mostly work, but a common occurrence is the game refusing to load assets.

This most likely is because of <code>https</code> requests inside the code of the game calling for files on the live web and failing, instead of <code>http</code> which calls local files. You will need to find and replace all instances of <code>https</code> with <code>http</code> in the game files. You might need to repeat this step multiple times for different parts of the game, due to most games being muiltiassets, they will only call certain parts that are needed during sections of gameplay.

To streamline and simplify the process, we suggest using Notepad++ and its <code>Find in Files</code> function, where you can input the Directory that points to the content folder of your curation, and then click <code>Replace in Files</code> where it will search in all the game files each instance and replace it.

Doing this process once is not always enough, so if the game continues to not load assets, you'll probably need to do it multiple times. You'll need to download more files before replacing <code>https</code> again.

In rare cases, you may have <code>https</code> requests coming from an obfuscated file. In these cases, you will need to deobfuscate the code. There are online tools that can help with this. Also note that you cannot remove <code>https</code> from WebAssembly for now.

This is a really common form of modification for HTML5 games, but it is minor enough that games with altered https requests don't really need to be marked as Hacked. Note that this rule only applies to text files (such as HTML and JS files); you must always mark a game as Hacked if you edit binary files (such as SWFs).

If you need to remove <code>https</code> from Unity WebGL game/files (<code>.unityweb</code>), then follow the instructions under the "HTTPS Removal from Unity WebGL Games" header in the Troubleshooting section below.

== Other Browsers ==
[[File:BasiliskError.png|thumb|300px|Common error message for games that don't work in Navigator.]]
[[File:UnityWebglError.PNG|thumb|300px|Error message seen in Unity WebGL games that need to be run in another browser.]]
Some games will not work in the version of Navigator used by Flashpoint. This is generally for one of two reasons: 1) The game requires a feature or technology not present in the 32-bit version of Navigator, which no longer receives updates; or 2) The game requires a Chromium-based browser to work properly. In order for these games to work in Flashpoint, two other browsers were added, <code>Browser Mode</code> and <code>Chromium</code>. The two have somewhat different uses, so testing the game in both versions may be needed to see what will work best.

Sometimes a game that doesn't work in Navigator will show an error message. A message similar to the examples is typically a sure sign that another browser must be used for the curation. In other cases, the game may work to some degree, but certain elements may be missing or not working properly. Common issues include: the game loading with no graphics, the game's music and/or sound effects not playing, the game's controls not working, or the game experiencing lag issues not present in other browsers. Performance issues are especially common with Unity WebGL games in Navigator.

=== Chromium ===
Ungoogled Chromium is included in Flashpoint as a second full browser alongside Navigator, and is usually the first alternative to try when a game doesn't work in Navigator. The main limitation Chromium has over the other two browsers is that it cannot load Flash content for the few HTML5/Flash hybrid games.

'''The Application Path for Chromium is''' <code>FPSoftware\startChrome.bat</code>.

=== Browser Mode ===
Browser Mode is a way of running games using Flashpoint's launcher. It can be used when a game does not run in Navigator or Chromium. However, since Browser Mode is not a full web browser, it has some limitations that mean it isn't an option for all games.

The limitations of Browser Mode include:

* Cannot open multiple tabs or windows.
* Doesn't support games that require webcam or microphone access.
* Games that require the cursor to be captured may not work properly.
* Currently cannot be used for Alternate Applications (but may support them in the future).

'''The Application Path for Browser Mode is''' <code>:browser-mode:</code>.

== Google Fonts Elements ==
[[File:Google Fonts Missing.png|thumb|300px|Missing icons and the default font, compared to how it should look with everything being displayed.]]
Some games will make use of Google's library of fonts and icons, and these can have trouble displaying in Flashpoint.

This may be because the <code>index.html</code> (or equivalent) may not be calling the font file directly, but making a request to Google's servers to serve one or more fonts depending on the URL parameters. When the page uses multiple fonts, the same <code>css</code> file may be requested with different parameters. If so, you'll need to follow the steps below to make the fonts display properly.

<ol>
<li>
Look at the logs and check for any 404 requests from <code>fonts.googleapis.com</code>. You might observe the differences between the version you have and the one hosted on the live web, but check the logs to be sure. <br>
For example, <code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Corben:400&display=swap&subset=latin-ext</code>
</li>
<li>
Take the request URL and open it in your web browser. <br>
The previous example will get this response from the server:
<pre>/* latin-ext */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Corben';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-display: swap;
src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNqQNFlVs.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0100-024F, U+0259, U+1E00-1EFF, U+2020, U+20A0-20AB, U+20AD-20CF, U+2113, U+2C60-2C7F, U+A720-A7FF;
}
/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Corben';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-display: swap;
src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNpwNF.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}</pre>
</li>
<li>
Search the response for the font/icon URLs. In the previous example, these are the font URLs:
<pre>https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNqQNFlVs.woff2
https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNpwNF.woff2</pre>
Download the URLs with cURLsDownloader to get them with the correct file structure, then move them to the curation <code>content</code> folder.
</li>
<li>
Open a text editor such as Notepad and copy the server response into it, replace any <code>https</code> URLs with <code>http</code>, then save the file as <code>fonts.css</code> (not .txt!)<br>
Several of these request URLs may be present so name subsequent ones sequentially (<code>fonts2.css</code> <code>fonts3.css</code>). In the case of Icons use <code>icons.css</code>.
</li>
<li>
Place these files in the same folder where the <code>.html</code> file is located.
</li>
<li>
Open the <code>.html</code> file in a text editor and replace the original requests with the name of the .css file you created. <br>
For example, replace: <br>
<code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Corben:400&display=swap&subset=latin-ext</code> with <code>fonts.css</code> <br>
<code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons</code> with <code>icons.css</code> <br>
And so on.
</li>
<li>
Repeat this with other request URLs the game might need.
</li>
</ol>

After this, make sure the fonts are displaying correctly just like they are on the live web version.

== Responsive Design Mode and Mobile Elements ==
[[File:DesktopvsMobileHTML5.png|thumb|200px|Some games will have mobile controls, loading different assets.]]

Unlike traditional plugins, HTML5 allows games to be played on both desktop devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) and mobile devices (iOS, Android, etc.). This means that some games will implement Responsive Design elements, allowing them to work better on mobile platforms. This can load new assets such as pages, scripts, elements, images, etc.

To check whether a game has these elements, play the game both in desktop and Responsive Design Mode. Here's how to enable Responsive Design Mode in FPNavigator:
#First, access the developer tools: click the menu button in the top-right corner and select <code>Developer</code>, then <code>Toggle Tools</code>, or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I.
#A menu should appear at the bottom of the window; look for a phone icon on the right side of this menu, and click it to enable <code>Responsive Design Mode</code>. This will activate the Responsive Design menu, which will surround the game window.
#Look for a button above the game window with a tapping finger symbol, and click it to enable <code>Touch Events</code>, which allows game elements to be clicked on just like tapping the screen.
#Make sure to reload the page after this, as these elements might not have been loaded in the default desktop mode.
#Use the <code>Rotate</code> button (the curved arrow) to test whether the game works, as some games do not allow you to play in a certain device orientation, and will load warning messages until the device is rotated.

To enable Responsive Design Mode in Chromium, open the developer tools by pressing F12 and then click the icon that looks like a computer screen and cell phone to the left of the <code>Elements</code> tab of the menu.

Make sure to skim through the entire game where these elements might show up, like parts with game controls or menus.

== Troubleshooting ==
=== HTTPS Removal from Unity WebGL Games ===
Before following these steps, write down all the '''hostnames''' of the HTTPS requests.
<ol>
<li>
First, find the <code>.unityweb</code> file that contains the HTTPS URLs. There are a few ways to find this file:
<ul>
<li>
This file's filename is most likely to contain <code>Build.data</code> in it. If there is no file with that filename present, then look at the next method.
</li>
<li>
There may be a <code>.json</code> file that lists several <code>.unityweb</code> files. In this case, look for the line that contains <code>dataUrl</code>, which should list the filename of the <code>.unityweb</code> file that contains the requests.
</li>
</ul>
If none of these methods work, you may need to follow the following steps for multiple <code>.unityweb</code> files in a given curation before finding the file that contains the HTTPS URLs in question.
</li>
<li>
Open the <code>.unityweb</code> file in WinRAR or 7-Zip. Inside the archive, there should be another <code>.unityweb</code> file with the exact same name. Extract this file out of the archive into another folder (so that you don't face filename conflictions).
</li>
<li>
Open the file in any text editor, preferably Notepad++. In the editor, for each unique hostname in the HTTPS requests, replace all occurrences of <code>https://{hostname}</code> with <code>http://{hostname}/</code>. '''Note the slash at the end. This is important as the newly modified request URL MUST match the length of the original request URL. Additionally, we must replace <code>https://</code> AND the hostname instead of just <code>https://</code>, as this is too prone to error.'''
</li>
<li>
Save and close. Rename the original <code>.unityweb</code> file to its original filename with <code>_unhacked</code> at the end (to preserve the original, unhacked file), and move the newly modified file to the same directory as the unhacked file. You can now relaunch the game and your HTTPS requests should have been changed to HTTP requests!
</li>
</ol>
If some HTTPS requests are still happening, first clear your cache to ensure that the changes have been applied. If they're ''still'' happening, you need to do additional searching for HTTPS URLs in the <code>.unityweb</code> file, as sometimes, some request URLs are not fully listed (i.e. a request URL may be listed as <code>ttps://{request URL}</code> instead of <code>https://{request URL}</code>), although this is relatively rare.

=== Missing Assets ===
While curating, there might be a few missing files, so to get them we can use cURLsDownloader.

* If MAD4FP isn't able to download certain files, or they are missing while testing without it, go to the Logs tab, click on <code>Copy 404 URLs</code>, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save.
* If Navigator is having trouble running the application, run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and play the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save.

Next, drag & drop the file onto <code>cURLsDownloader.bat</code>. Copy the contents of the <code>Downloads</code> folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the <code>Open Folder</code> button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the <code>content</code> folder of your curation. For more information about cURLsDownloader, be sure to read the included manual.

=== Clean-up of Junk Files ===
Since MAD4FP downloads every file requested by the game that still exists on the live web, you can get a lot of files that are unnecessary for the game to work. Be careful not to enter pages outside of the game as it will download them too, best way to prevent this is by knowing where this happens inside the game.

Even with these precautions, you will download junk from other services the website uses outside of the game. After deleting them, make sure the games still work without them.

=== Cross-Origin Policies ===

A broken game may have an error in the Console tab of the browser's developer tools that access to a file has been blocked by a CORS policy. When that's the case, create a file called <code>.htaccess</code> in the folder the game wants to get the file with the following content:
<pre>Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "*"</pre>

=== Outdated Web Audio Functions ===
If an HTML5 game loads only in an old version of Chrome or Internet Explorer, it may use old and nonstandard web audio API functions instead of their modern equivalents. To check whether this is happening, open the Console tab of Navigator's Developer Tools and check for errors mentioning web audio functions such as <code>createGainNode</code> or <code>noteOn</code>. If you're not sure whether an error is related to audio, google some keywords from the error message.

Once you've confirmed the problem, follow these steps to fix it:
# Go to the [https://github.com/cwilso/webkitAudioContext-MonkeyPatch webkitAudioContext monkeypatch repository]. Click the <code>webkitAudioContextMonkeyPatch.js</code> file, then click the "Raw" button. Finally press Ctrl-S to save the file.
# Place the downloaded file in the same folder as the game's main HTML file.
# Open the main HTML file in a text editor such as Notepad. Insert the following line inside the <code><head></code> tag of the file, before any other <code><script></code> tags: <br> <code><script src="webkitAudioContextMonkeyPatch.js"></script></code>
# Save the HTML file and test the game again.

=== Broken Or Non-Functional Games ===
Some games might require a certain browser we do not support or features not available in the browsers we have. While we are now able to support most HTML5 games, there are still some that may not be curatable. The most common example of this is HTML5 games that only work in a mobile browser. While we may be able to support these games in the future, they are currently unable to be properly added to Flashpoint.

When dealing with a game we currently can't support, the best option (if possible) is to run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and playing the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save. Next, drag & drop the file onto <code>cURLsDownloader.bat</code>. Copy the contents of the <code>Downloads</code> folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the <code>Open Folder</code> button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the <code>content</code> folder of your curation.

Upload this curation to #curators on our Discord server for safekeeping, as it might be able to work in the future.

=== Camera/Microphone access ===
If a game that needs the camera and/or the microphone has this feature blocked by all browsers, try the steps below:
# Run the curation on Chrome, press CTRL + T and go to <code>chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure</code> in the URL bar.
# Paste the domain of website you need into the field, such as <code>https://www.newgrounds.com</code> (values are separated by commas), and restart the browser via the button on the corner.
If this works, add the steps above in the Curation Notes field and ask staff at #curators on our Discord server to update startChrome.bat in Flashpoint's [https://gitlab.unstable.life/flashpoint/components/support-packs/common-files/chromium/-/blob/master/startChrome.bat GitLab], so the user doesn't need to manually add the website on their end.

HTML5 Curation

2024-04-01T01:51:33Z

ThePowerPlayer: /* Microphone Support */

HTML5 games are currently not nearly as endangered as Flash games, and are in fact often cited as replacing the Flash medium. However, they still pose a risk of disappearing at some point in time, and therefore should be considered for curation just like other web game formats.

This tutorial assumes you've read the standard [[Curation Tutorial]], which is highly recommended to go through. Try curating a Flash game before moving on to HTML5.

[[File:UnityWebglError.PNG|thumb|300px|Error message seen in Unity WebGL games that need to be run in another browser.]]
Some games will not work in the version of Navigator used by Flashpoint. This is generally for one of two reasons: 1) The game requires a feature or technology not present in the 32-bit version of Navigator, which no longer receives updates; or 2) The game requires a Chromium-based browser to work properly. In order for these games to work in Flashpoint, two other browsers were added, <code>Browser Mode</code> and <code>Chromium</code>.

In other cases, the game may work to some degree, but certain elements may be missing or not working properly. Common issues include: the game loading with no graphics, the game's music and/or sound effects not playing, the game's controls not working, or the game experiencing lag issues not present in other browsers. Performance issues are especially common with Unity WebGL games in Navigator.

=== Browser Mode ===
Browser Mode is a way of running games using Flashpoint's launcher. It is usually the first one to try when a game doesn't work in Navigator. However, since Browser Mode is not a full web browser, it has some limitations that mean it isn't an option for all games.

The limitations of Browser Mode include:
* Cannot open multiple tabs or windows.
* Doesn't support games that require webcam or microphone access.
* Games that require the cursor to be captured may not work properly.
* Currently cannot be used for Alternate Applications (but may support them in the future).

'''The Application Path for Browser Mode is''' <code>:browser-mode:</code>.

=== Chromium ===
Ungoogled Chromium is included in Flashpoint as a second full browser alongside Navigator. It is currently not used for many games but fixes issues that Navigator and Browser Mode cannot. The main limitation Chromium has over the other two browsers is that it cannot load Flash content for the few HTML5/Flash hybrid games.

'''The Application Path for Chromium is''' <code>FPSoftware\startChrome.bat</code>.

====Microphone Support====
Chromium is the only browser in Flashpoint that supports games which ask for access to the system's microphone; these games are tagged with the <code>Microphone</code> tag. However, currently, a workaround must be used to enable microphone access:
#Open Chromium. Press Ctrl + T to open a new tab, and paste the following text into the URL bar: <code>chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure</code>
#This should open Chromium's Flags list, particularly the flag "Insecure origins treated as secure". In the accompanying window, paste the domain of the game's Launch Command (such as <code>https://www.newgrounds.com/</code>), then change the setting from "Disabled" to "Enabled".
#Click the "Relaunch" button that appears in the bottom right corner.
Play the game in Chromium again, and it should request microphone permissions properly. An upcoming update to Flashpoint will eliminate the need for this workaround.

== Google Fonts Elements ==

https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNpwNF.woff2</pre>
Download the URLs with cURLsDownloader to get them with the correct file structure, then move them to the curation <code>content</code> folder.
</li>
<li>
Open a text editor such as Notepad and copy the server response into it, replace any <code>https</code> URLs with <code>http</code>, then save the file as <code>fonts.css</code> (not .txt!)<br>
Several of these request URLs may be present so name subsequent ones sequentially (<code>fonts2.css</code> <code>fonts3.css</code>). In the case of Icons use <code>icons.css</code>.
</li>
<li>
Place these files in the same folder where the <code>.html</code> file is located.
</li>
<li>
Open the <code>.html</code> file in a text editor and replace the original requests with the name of the .css file you created. <br>
For example, replace: <br>
<code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Corben:400&display=swap&subset=latin-ext</code> with <code>fonts.css</code> <br>
<code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons</code> with <code>icons.css</code> <br>
And so on.
</li>
<li>
Repeat this with other request URLs the game might need.
</li>
</ol>

After this, make sure the fonts are displaying correctly just like they are on the live web version.

== Responsive Design Mode and Mobile Elements ==
[[File:DesktopvsMobileHTML5.png|thumb|200px|Some games will have mobile controls, loading different assets.]]

Unlike traditional plugins, HTML5 allows games to be played on both desktop devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) and mobile devices (iOS, Android, etc.). This means that some games will implement Responsive Design elements, allowing them to work better on mobile platforms. This can load new assets such as pages, scripts, elements, images, etc.

To check whether a game has these elements, play the game both in desktop and Responsive Design Mode. Here's how to enable Responsive Design Mode in Navigator:
#First, access the developer tools: click the menu button in the top-right corner and select <code>Developer</code>, then <code>Toggle Tools</code>, or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I.
#A menu should appear at the bottom of the window; look for a phone icon on the right side of this menu, and click it to enable <code>Responsive Design Mode</code>. This will activate the Responsive Design menu, which will surround the game window.
#Look for a button above the game window with a tapping finger symbol, and click it to enable <code>Touch Events</code>, which allows game elements to be clicked on just like tapping the screen.
#Make sure to reload the page after this, as these elements might not have been loaded in the default desktop mode.
#Use the <code>Rotate</code> button (the curved arrow) to test whether the game works, as some games do not allow you to play in a certain device orientation, and will load warning messages until the device is rotated.

Make sure to skim through the entire game where these elements might show up, like parts with game controls or menus.

== YouTube Games ==
See [[HTML5 Curation/YouTube Games]].

== Troubleshooting ==
=== HTTPS Removal ===
Don't be surprised if it doesn't work at first; HTML5 games are relatively stable and mostly work, but a common occurrence is the game refusing to load assets.

This most likely is because of <code>https</code> requests inside the code of the game calling for files on the live web and failing, instead of <code>http</code> which calls local files. You will need to find and replace all instances of <code>https</code> with <code>http</code> in the game files. You might need to repeat this step multiple times for different parts of the game, due to most games being muiltiassets, they will only call certain parts that are needed during sections of gameplay.

To streamline and simplify the process, we suggest using Notepad++ and its <code>Find in Files</code> function, where you can input the Directory that points to the content folder of your curation, and then click <code>Replace in Files</code> where it will search in all the game files each instance and replace it.

Doing this process once is not always enough, so if the game continues to not load assets, you'll probably need to do it multiple times. You'll need to download more files before replacing <code>https</code> again.

In rare cases, you may have <code>https</code> requests coming from an obfuscated file. In these cases you will need to deobfuscate the code. There are online tools that can help with this. Also note that you cannot remove <code>https</code> from WebAssembly for now.

This is a really common form of modification for HTML5 games, but it is minor enough that games with altered https requests don't really need to be marked as Hacked. Note that this rule only applies to text files (such as HTML and JS files); you must always mark a game as Hacked if you edit binary files (such as SWFs).

If you need to remove <code>https</code> from a Unity WebGL game/files (<code>.unityweb</code>), then follow the instructions below:

==== Unity WebGL Games ====

Before following these steps, write down all the '''hostnames''' of the HTTPS requests.
<ol>
<li>
First, find the <code>.unityweb</code> file that contains the HTTPS URLs. There are a few ways to find this file:
<ul>
<li>
This file's filename is most likely to contain <code>Build.data</code> in it. If there is no file with that filename present, then look at the next method.
</li>
<li>
There may be a <code>.json</code> file that lists several <code>.unityweb</code> files. In this case, look for the line that contains <code>dataUrl</code>, which should list the filename of the <code>.unityweb</code> file that contains the requests.
</li>
</ul>
If none of these methods work, you may need to follow the following steps for multiple <code>.unityweb</code> files in a given curation before finding the file that contains the HTTPS URLs in question.
</li>
<li>
Open the <code>.unityweb</code> file in WinRAR or 7-Zip. Inside the archive, there should be another <code>.unityweb</code> file with the exact same name. Extract this file out of the archive into another folder (so that you don't face filename conflictions).
</li>
<li>
Open the file in any text editor, preferably Notepad++. In the editor, for each unique hostname in the HTTPS requests, replace all occurrences of <code>https://{hostname}</code> with <code>http://{hostname}/</code>. '''Note the slash at the end. This is important as the newly modified request URL MUST match the length of the original request URL. Additionally, we must replace <code>https://</code> AND the hostname instead of just <code>https://</code>, as this is too prone to error.'''
</li>
<li>
Save and close. Rename the original <code>.unityweb</code> file to its original filename with <code>_unhacked</code> at the end (to preserve the original, unhacked file), and move the newly modified file to the same directory as the unhacked file. You can now relaunch the game and your HTTPS requests should have been changed to HTTP requests!
</li>
</ol>
If some HTTPS requests are still happening, first clear your cache to ensure that the changes have been applied. If they're ''still'' happening, you need to do additional searching for HTTPS URLs in the <code>.unityweb</code> file, as sometimes, some request URLs are not fully listed (i.e. a request URL may be listed as <code>ttps://{request URL}</code> instead of <code>https://{request URL}</code>), although this is relatively rare.

=== Missing Assets ===
While curating, there might be a few missing files, so to get them we can use cURLsDownloader.

* If MAD4FP isn't able to download certain files, or they are missing while testing without it, go to the Logs tab, click on <code>Copy 404 URLs</code>, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save.
* If Navigator is having trouble running the application, run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and play the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save.

Next, drag & drop the file onto <code>cURLsDownloader.bat</code>. Copy the contents of the <code>Downloads</code> folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the <code>Open Folder</code> button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the <code>content</code> folder of your curation. For more information about cURLsDownloader, be sure to read the included manual.

=== Clean-up of Junk Files ===
Since MAD4FP downloads every file requested by the game that still exists on the live web, you can get a lot of files that are unnecessary for the game to work. Be careful not to enter pages outside of the game as it will download them too, best way to prevent this is by knowing where this happens inside the game.

Even with these precautions, you will download junk from other services the website uses outside of the game. After deleting them, make sure the games still work without them.

=== Cross-Origin Policies ===

A broken game may have an error in the Console tab of the browser's developer tools that access to a file has been blocked by a CORS policy. When that's the case, create a file called <code>.htaccess</code> in the folder the game wants to get the file with the following content:
<pre>Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "*"</pre>

=== Outdated Web Audio Functions ===
If an HTML5 game loads only in an old version of Chrome or Internet Explorer, it may use old and nonstandard web audio API functions instead of their modern equivalents. To check whether this is happening, open the Console tab of Navigator's Developer Tools and check for errors mentioning web audio functions such as <code>createGainNode</code> or <code>noteOn</code>. If you're not sure whether an error is related to audio, google some keywords from the error message.

Once you've confirmed the problem, follow these steps to fix it:
# Go to the [https://github.com/cwilso/webkitAudioContext-MonkeyPatch webkitAudioContext monkeypatch repository]. Click the <code>webkitAudioContextMonkeyPatch.js</code> file, then click the "Raw" button. Finally press Ctrl-S to save the file.
# Place the downloaded file in the same folder as the game's main HTML file.
# Open the main HTML file in a text editor such as Notepad. Insert the following line inside the <code><head></code> tag of the file, before any other <code><script></code> tags: <br> <code><script src="webkitAudioContextMonkeyPatch.js"></script></code>
# Save the HTML file and test the game again.

=== Broken Or Non-Functional Games ===
Some games might require a certain browser we do not support or features not available in the browsers we have. While we are now able to support most HTML5 games, there are still some that may not be curatable. The most common example of this is HTML5 games that only work in a mobile browser. While we may be able to support these games in the future, they are currently unable to be properly added to Flashpoint.

When dealing with a game we currently can't support, the best option (if possible) is to run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and playing the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save. Next, drag & drop the file onto <code>cURLsDownloader.bat</code>. Copy the contents of the <code>Downloads</code> folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the <code>Open Folder</code> button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the <code>content</code> folder of your curation.

Upload this curation to #curators on our Discord server for safekeeping, as it might be able to work in the future.

Curation Tutorial

2023-07-15T18:00:37Z

ThePowerPlayer: /* Setting Up Our Software */

This page is a basic tutorial on how Flashpoint works and how to curate games for addition to Flashpoint.

Additionally, please read the [[Curation Format]] page for a more detailed explanation on what a curation should look like before submitting.

If you would like an overview, check out this '''video tutorial''': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im7tlzhd4fg

== How Flashpoint Works ==

Flashpoint is more than just a program to play files; rather, it's a combination of two programs working in parallel:
* a '''web server''', which hosts game files from an internal or external drive and pretends to be the original Internet source the games ran off of,
* and a '''launcher''', the user interface to select and play games from.

Flashpoint itself also comes in two primary versions:
* '''Infinity''', the version that downloads games and animations from a server as you play or view them,
* and '''Ultimate''', the gigantic version with every game and animation included and ready for offline play and viewing.

Infinity will download files as you play games that request them, while Ultimate knows the files are already there. Both make the files believe they're being ran on their original source. This has numerous benefits, the two most important being bypassing '''sitelocks''' and supporting '''multi-asset''' games. The [[How Flashpoint Works]] article provides more detail on this topic. Before we understand how Flashpoint handles those cases, though, let's walk through the simplest case possible: curating a single-asset SWF file.

== Setting Up Our Software ==

To download game files from the Internet, you'll need:
*'''Flashpoint Infinity''', used to add and test new games. The installer for Infinity can be found at our [https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads Downloads] page (click the "Download Installer" link below the red package icon). Curation should be done in Flashpoint 12 Infinity or later; any previous versions of Infinity, as well as Flashpoint Ultimate and Flashpoint Core, are discouraged from being used for curation. While Flashpoint Core was originally used as a version of Flashpoint designed solely for curating, its features have been integrated into Infinity, and Core itself has been deprecated.
*'''A modern web browser''' such as Chrome or Firefox, which have a built in Network monitor that we can use to find and grab individual SWFs, and sometimes multi-asset titles with low amounts of resources.
*'''cURLsDownloader''', found as a component in the Extras section of the Flashpoint Infinity Installer. This isn't strictly necessary, but it helps immensely; you'll see why later on.

Download Flashpoint Infinity, extract it to an internal or external drive, run it via its shortcut in the extracted folder, and make sure that the included games play properly before you continue.

== Finding the Source of a Flash Game ==
[[File:SWFAssetInChrome.png|thumb|The SWF for Interactive Buddy in Chrome's network tab; it should look similar on Firefox.]]
'''Be sure to [https://unstable.life/flashpoint-database/search/ search the Flashpoint database], check the [[Not Accepted Curations]] page, and search the Curations channels in the [https://discord.gg/S9uJ794 Flashpoint Discord server] before settling on a game! Otherwise, you might waste time and effort to save a game that's already been saved.'''

As a tutorial, we'll start by curating the simplest type of Flash game: a single SWF file that isn't sitelocked, specifically [https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/218014 Interactive Buddy]. You might need to enable Flash in your browser to get it to play (this tutorial won't work if you're using another player such as the Newgrounds Player).

* If you're using Chrome or Firefox, press F12 to open the Developer Tools and click on the Network tab. This shows us every asset that loads on the page in real time.
* You can filter miscellaneous types of assets such as Flash files by clicking the Other tab within the Network tab.
* Refresh the page to find that a few assets loaded. The game file has an extension of '''.swf''', and has a type of x-shockwave-flash in the table.
* Once you find the SWF, you can hover over it to see its URL and confirm that it ends in .swf.
* Right-click the asset and select Copy > Copy link address.

If you know your game is Flash but still can't get it to work, check the [[Flash Curation]] page for more detailed info on specifically Flash games. If all else fails, ask away in #curator-lounge on our Discord and we'll try to solve the issue together.

=== Other Methods for Obtaining Game Source URLs ===

If you're having a hard time finding the game's source this way, or just desire a more convenient method, additional options are available.

'''Option 1:''' <s>Use the [[Game Saver Extension|Game Saver Chrome Extension]] to save Flash game files automatically. After you do this, you can skip directly to the [[#Curating with Flashpoint Infinity|Curating with Flashpoint Infinity]] section.</s> '''The Game Saver Extension currently does not work due to the kill switch Adobe has placed on Flash. Ruffle support is being worked on.'''

'''Option 2:''' Press Ctrl+U on the page the game is embedded on to open its source HTML file. Press Ctrl+F to open the search bar, then type in ".swf". You'll likely come across a link directly to the game's SWF source file., which you can copy and save for later. '''Be careful of red herring SWFs!''' Use common sense when finding SWFs this way, as some pages may embed multiple SWFs at once, only one of which is the actual game file. Kongregate notoriously embeds a nearly empty SWF named <code>konduit</code> into each game's HTML page instead of the game's source SWF, making it impossible to find the link using this method.

'''Option 3:''' Open Developer Tools, but instead of clicking on the Network tab, click on the Elements tab instead. Use Ctrl+F just like with Option 1 to find and copy the link to the game's source file. This is useful when neither of the above options work, especially when attempting to find [[Flash Curation#Flashvars|flashvars]].

=== Non-Flash Games ===

If a context menu that mentions Adobe Flash Player doesn't appear when right clicking the game canvas, it's probably not a Flash game. Don't worry, we got you covered! Try viewing our tutorials specifically tailored for other [[Platforms]] like Shockwave or HTML5.

== Generating Content Folders with cURLsDownloader ==

If you've followed the tutorial up to this point, you should have copied this link to the SWF for Interactive Buddy:

https://uploads.ungrounded.net/218000/218014_DAbuddy_latest.swf?123

Flashpoint calls files from a file directory created from the URL of a game, packaged into a folder called '''content''' for each curation. Instead of creating a content folder manually, though, we can use a tool called cURLsDownloader to do it automatically.

* cURLsDownloader should be in your Flashpoint Infinity folder > Utilities > cURLsDownloader (if you have the component downloaded in the Installer.)
* Open cURLsDownloader and paste your game URL into its input.
* Select Option 1 to grab the SWF file.
* cURLsDownloader will automatically download the SWF and create a content folder for Flashpoint, located in its Downloads folder. Use option 1 when finished if it detects a broken filename, which will very likely fix it.

We'll come back to this Downloads folder later to move it to its proper place.

== Curating with Flashpoint Infinity ==

[[File:LaunchCommandMatchesContent.png|thumb|What your curation should look like when you're finished. Note how the Launch Command matches the Content Files. For details on the other fields see the [[Curation_Format#List_of_Metadata_Fields|Curation Format page]] ]]
The expected way to curate is to use the '''Curate Tab''' in Infinity. This needs to be turned on by toggling '''Enable Editing''' in the config menu. First, take a look at our [[Curate Tab|visual Curate Tab guide]]. Next, open the Curate tab, then click the New Curation button to see a list of fields to fill in. These are the most important ones:
*'''Title:''' A game's title distinguishes it from other games. Name it "Interactive Buddy" or "Test Game" or anything you like, it doesn't matter right now.
*'''Platform:''' The framework which the game runs on. This also determines where the game goes inside our database, which is split into several platforms (Flash, Shockwave, Unity, etc). When using Infinity for testing purposes, this isn't massively important, but for SWF files, Flash should be selected for the Platform field.
*'''Application Path:''' This determines what piece of software is used to start up the file we specify. In this case we're using a single, simple SWF, so we'll use the Flash Player Projector; in the current version of Infinity, this is listed as "FPSoftware\Flash\flashplayer_32_sa.exe", and is selected by default.
*'''Launch Command:''' Tells Flashpoint the URL of either the game's source file or the page it is hosted on. Flashpoint looks for this file on the user's storage drive, and runs the file to start the game.

To summarize, the Launch Command of a game is most often the URL of its source file. However, '''be extremely careful''' about the beginning of this game's URL; it uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. Flashpoint can't handle using HTTPS, and will download assets from the live Internet instead of from its fake Internet server, which can lead to a game going off the web later and not working in Flashpoint when that happens. To summarize, '''no matter the URL, always use http:// at the beginning of any Launch Command, NO EXCEPTIONS.'''

To add the content you generated earlier using cURLsDownloader, click the "Open Folder" button at the bottom of your curation and you should see a "content" folder. Move all of the folders from cURLsDownloader's "Downloads" folder into this "content" folder, and then click the "Refresh Content" button.

Take a look at the image to the right to see how your tutorial curation should look. If any field is highlighted in yellow, it's a warning; take another look at your own curation and see what's wrong. Curations of your own should have as much metadata filled in as possible, but the fields mentioned above ensure the game will work in Flashpoint. You can fill in the rest of the fields if you like, but it's not necessary right now.

Once you're confident your curation looks good, click the "Run" button next to the "Open Folder" button to test the game and you should see Interactive Buddy pop up.

=== Using MAD4FP ===

MAD4FP (Multi-Asset Downloader for Flashpoint) allows for automatically downloading game assets. It can download content files directly into your curation's content folder and create the proper folder structure automatically. For more information, see [[MAD4FP]].

=== Using fpcurator ===

fpcurator is inside Infinity's Utilities components and allows for easily creating submissions. The common use is to paste urls that contain the games and press the "Curate" button to have them generated in the default folder for curations; if you are already using Flashpoint, press the "Scan For New Curations" button after that.

When a game is not multiasset and its website is more compatible with the tool (those can be checked at the utility's "sites" subfolder), your work is usually reduced to applying the proper [[Tags]] and a logo/screenshot.

Congrats! You've successfully made a curation. Now let's see how to deal with more complex games.

== Sitelocks ==
[[File:AndkonSitelock.png|thumb|The sitelock telling you to go to Andkon Arcade, despite the game already being on Andkon Arcade.]]
Some Flash games will check the domain the game is being hosted on, and "lock" the game from being played if it's not on the correct site, called a sitelock.

This can even occur, though very rarely, on the original site where the game was hosted, as is the case with [http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/ Monster Slayers]. Click this link and try to play the game; your result will be the image on the right. Ironically, despite the game already being hosted on andkon.com, it'll activate its sitelock and tell you to go to Andkon Arcade. Try to find and download the SWF using the method described in the previous section.

You should find this source URL:

http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/monsterslayers.swf

This sitelock is due to Andkon's main domain changing to "andkon.com", when it used to be "arcade.andkon.com". Therefore, changing the "andkon.com" in the URL to "arcade.andkon.com" will give us a Launch Command that bypasses the sitelock:

http://arcade.andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/monsterslayers.swf

This particular URL uses http:// instead of https://, but '''always make sure the Launch Command uses http://''' regardless.

Try to create a new curation by downloading the SWF from the top URL using cURLsDownloader, and setting the bottom URL as the Launch Command. Use the Curate tab to test your game; Flashpoint should bypass the sitelock and allow you to play Monster Slayers, just like Andkon used to.

It's important to use correct Launch Commands and proper content folders for every curation you make (even if you're curating a non-sitelocked SWF), to ensure that all the game's assets are loaded exactly as they would be on the real Internet, without running into any possible sitelocks on the way (even if the game appears to be playable outside of Flashpoint).

== Using cURLsDownloader for Multi-Asset Games ==

Up until now, we've only curated single-asset SWF files. However, many web games were made at a time where downloading one large file was intensive on Internet speeds and took longer than it should. This meant lots of games were split into several, smaller assets so the overall game loaded faster. Whether these games load all of the assets when the game first starts up or intermittently as you play the game depends on how they were programmed, making curation of multi-asset games more difficult than single-assets.

Let's check out a multi-asset game called [https://www.kongregate.com/games/struma/gateway-ii Gateway II]. Here's the link to the main SWF of the game:
https://chat.kongregate.com/gamez/0000/3268/live/gateway_2.swf?kongregate_game_version=1581667106
Try curating this SWF as described above and testing it in Flashpoint with the Run button. You'll only get to the language select screen before the game freezes once you pick one.

Select the Logs tab in Flashpoint. Find the Filters menu in the top-left corner and uncheck everything except "Redirector", then look near the bottom of the log. You should see a line with "200 HTTP/1.1" followed by a directory to the main SWF, followed by one or more lines with "404 HTTP/1.1" followed by directories to additional assets.

This means the game was calling for one or more assets that it didn't have offline, making the game freeze because it failed to load a required asset. Thankfully, Flashpoint can handle these assets as long as they're downloaded properly.

Once again, instead of manually downloading lots of assets, we can use cURLsDownloader to save time and effort.

'''Option 1:''' Download the assets called by the game as you test it in Flashpoint Infinity.
# Click the Copy Text button in the top-right of the Logs tab.
# Paste the results into a text file and remove every line except for ones beginning with "404 HTTP/1.1". Remove that section from each line along with anything before it such as timestamps, then add "http://" to the beginning of each line.
# Save the text file and drag it over cURLsDownloader.
# Wait for cURLsDownloader to finish fetching assets. Use option 1 when finished if it detects broken filenames, which will very likely fix them.
# Move the contents of the Downloads folder in cURLsDownloader to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the Run button. If anything fails to work as it should, look for more lines beginning with "404 HTTP/1.1" in the Logs tab and repeat this process.

'''Option 2:''' Download all the assets that the source page of a game loads as you play it on the live Internet (but some assets downloaded won't be part of the game).
# Once again, press F12 to open your browser's Network viewer, then refresh the page.
# Play through your game on the Internet, loading assets as you go.
# When you're confident you've loaded all of the game's assets, click the "All" tab in the Network viewer and right-click on an asset.
# Select Copy > Copy all as cURL (cmd) and paste the results into a text file.
# Save the text file and drag it over cURLsDownloader.
# Wait for cURLsDownloader to finish fetching assets. Use option 1 when finished if it detects broken filenames, which will very likely fix them.
# Open the Downloads folder in cURLsDownloader and determine which folder contains the necessary files to play the game.
# Move the contents of your chosen folder to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the "Run" button.

When testing games, if a game lets you get through more than one level without loading another asset, you'll ''generally'' be okay to assume that there's no more assets to be found, but this is never a guarantee, and you should always test your game in Flashpoint as much as you can.

== Wrapping It Up ==

Once you're sure you've gotten a game working in Flashpoint, it's time to add the additional parts of any curation. The [[Curation Format]] page tells you how curations are laid out in order to add it to the master build of Flashpoint with as much information as possible. '''You should read the [[Curation Format#List of Metadata Fields|List of Metadata Fields]] section specifically; there are more than a few fields that need to be filled in on each curation this tutorial didn't specifically cover.'''

When you've created a proper curation in the Curate tab, click the "Export" button at the bottom of your curation, which will save a .7z archive of the curation ready to be imported into the master build. Name it something relevant (typically the name of the game), and save it wherever you'll remember it.

Note that your [[Save Data Locations|save data]] for the game will not be included in your curation.

Once you have your .7z ready, follow the instructions below to make sure it gets added to Flashpoint.

Before we understand how Flashpoint handles those cases, though, let's walk through the simplest case possible: curating a single-asset SWF file.

== Setting Up Our Software ==

To download game files from the Internet, you'll need:
*'''Flashpoint Infinity''', used to add and test new games. It can be found at the bottom of our [https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads Downloads] page. Curation is done in Flashpoint 12 Infinity or later; any previous versions, as well as Flashpoint Ultimate and Flashpoint Core, are '''not''' to be used for curation. While Flashpoint Core was originally used as a version of Flashpoint designed solely for curating, its features have been integrated into Infinity, and Core itself has been deprecated.<br>'''Once again, DO NOT use Flashpoint Core to curate.'''
*'''A modern web browser''' such as Chrome or Firefox, which have a built in Network monitor that we can use to find and grab individual SWFs, and sometimes multi-asset titles with low amounts of resources.
*'''cURLsDownloader''', found as a component in the Extras section of the Flashpoint Infinity Installer. This isn't strictly necessary, but it helps immensely; you'll see why later on.

Download Flashpoint Infinity, extract it to an internal or external drive, run it via its shortcut in the extracted folder, and make sure that the included games play properly before you continue.

== Finding the Source of a Flash Game ==
[[File:SWFAssetInChrome.png|thumb|The SWF for Interactive Buddy in Chrome's network tab; it should look similar on Firefox.]]
'''Be sure to [https://unstable.life/flashpoint-database/search/ search the Flashpoint database], check the [[Not Accepted Curations]] page, and search the Curations channels in the [https://discord.gg/S9uJ794 Flashpoint Discord server] before settling on a game! Otherwise, you might waste time and effort to save a game that's already been saved.'''

As a tutorial, we'll start by curating the simplest type of Flash game: a single SWF file that isn't sitelocked, specifically [https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/218014 Interactive Buddy]. You might need to enable Flash in your browser to get it to play (this tutorial won't work if you're using another player such as the Newgrounds Player).

* If you're using Chrome or Firefox, press F12 to open the Developer Tools and click on the Network tab. This shows us every asset that loads on the page in real time.
* You can filter miscellaneous types of assets such as Flash files by clicking the Other tab within the Network tab.
* Refresh the page to find that a few assets loaded. The game file has an extension of '''.swf''', and has a type of x-shockwave-flash in the table.
* Once you find the SWF, you can hover over it to see its URL and confirm that it ends in .swf.
* Right-click the asset and select Copy > Copy link address.

If you know your game is Flash but still can't get it to work, check the [[Flash Curation]] page for more detailed info on specifically Flash games. If all else fails, ask away in #curator-lounge on our Discord and we'll try to solve the issue together.

=== Other Methods for Obtaining Game Source URLs ===

If you're having a hard time finding the game's source this way, or just desire a more convenient method, additional options are available.

'''Option 1:''' <s>Use the [[Game Saver Extension|Game Saver Chrome Extension]] to save Flash game files automatically. After you do this, you can skip directly to the [[#Curating with Flashpoint Infinity|Curating with Flashpoint Infinity]] section.</s> '''The Game Saver Extension currently does not work due to the kill switch Adobe has placed on Flash. Ruffle support is being worked on.'''

'''Option 2:''' Press Ctrl+U on the page the game is embedded on to open its source HTML file. Press Ctrl+F to open the search bar, then type in ".swf". You'll likely come across a link directly to the game's SWF source file., which you can copy and save for later. '''Be careful of red herring SWFs!''' Use common sense when finding SWFs this way, as some pages may embed multiple SWFs at once, only one of which is the actual game file. Kongregate notoriously embeds a nearly empty SWF named <code>konduit</code> into each game's HTML page instead of the game's source SWF, making it impossible to find the link using this method.

'''Option 3:''' Open Developer Tools, but instead of clicking on the Network tab, click on the Elements tab instead. Use Ctrl+F just like with Option 1 to find and copy the link to the game's source file. This is useful when neither of the above options work, especially when attempting to find [[Flash Curation#Flashvars|flashvars]].

=== Non-Flash Games ===

If a context menu that mentions Adobe Flash Player doesn't appear when right clicking the game canvas, it's probably not a Flash game. Don't worry, we got you covered! Try viewing our tutorials specifically tailored for other [[Platforms]] like Shockwave or HTML5.

== Generating Content Folders with cURLsDownloader ==

If you've followed the tutorial up to this point, you should have copied this link to the SWF for Interactive Buddy:

https://uploads.ungrounded.net/218000/218014_DAbuddy_latest.swf?123

Flashpoint calls files from a file directory created from the URL of a game, packaged into a folder called '''content''' for each curation. Instead of creating a content folder manually, though, we can use a tool called cURLsDownloader to do it automatically.

* cURLsDownloader should be in your Flashpoint Infinity folder > Utilities > cURLsDownloader (if you have the component downloaded in the Installer.)
* Open cURLsDownloader and paste your game URL into its input.
* Select Option 1 to grab the SWF file.
* cURLsDownloader will automatically download the SWF and create a content folder for Flashpoint, located in its Downloads folder. Use option 1 when finished if it detects a broken filename, which will very likely fix it.

We'll come back to this Downloads folder later to move it to its proper place.

== Curating with Flashpoint Infinity ==

[[File:LaunchCommandMatchesContent.png|thumb|What your curation should look like when you're finished. Note how the Launch Command matches the Content Files. For details on the other fields see the [[Curation_Format#List_of_Metadata_Fields|Curation Format page]] ]]
The expected way to curate is to use the '''Curate Tab''' in Infinity. This needs to be turned on by toggling '''Enable Editing''' in the config menu. First, take a look at our [[Curate Tab|visual Curate Tab guide]]. Next, open the Curate tab, then click the New Curation button to see a list of fields to fill in. These are the most important ones:
*'''Title:''' A game's title distinguishes it from other games. Name it "Interactive Buddy" or "Test Game" or anything you like, it doesn't matter right now.
*'''Platform:''' The framework which the game runs on. This also determines where the game goes inside our database, which is split into several platforms (Flash, Shockwave, Unity, etc). When using Infinity for testing purposes, this isn't massively important, but for SWF files, Flash should be selected for the Platform field.
*'''Application Path:''' This determines what piece of software is used to start up the file we specify. In this case we're using a single, simple SWF, so we'll use the Flash Player Projector; in the current version of Infinity, this is listed as "FPSoftware\Flash\flashplayer_32_sa.exe", and is selected by default.
*'''Launch Command:''' Tells Flashpoint the URL of either the game's source file or the page it is hosted on. Flashpoint looks for this file on the user's storage drive, and runs the file to start the game.

To summarize, the Launch Command of a game is most often the URL of its source file. However, '''be extremely careful''' about the beginning of this game's URL; it uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. Flashpoint can't handle using HTTPS, and will download assets from the live Internet instead of from its fake Internet server, which can lead to a game going off the web later and not working in Flashpoint when that happens. To summarize, '''no matter the URL, always use http:// at the beginning of any Launch Command, NO EXCEPTIONS.'''

To add the content you generated earlier using cURLsDownloader, click the "Open Folder" button at the bottom of your curation and you should see a "content" folder. Move all of the folders from cURLsDownloader's "Downloads" folder into this "content" folder, and then click the "Refresh Content" button.

Take a look at the image to the right to see how your tutorial curation should look. If any field is highlighted in yellow, it's a warning; take another look at your own curation and see what's wrong. Curations of your own should have as much metadata filled in as possible, but the fields mentioned above ensure the game will work in Flashpoint. You can fill in the rest of the fields if you like, but it's not necessary right now.

Once you're confident your curation looks good, click the "Run" button next to the "Open Folder" button to test the game and you should see Interactive Buddy pop up.

=== Using MAD4FP ===

MAD4FP (Multi-Asset Downloader for Flashpoint) allows for automatically downloading game assets. It can download content files directly into your curation's content folder and create the proper folder structure automatically. For more information, see [[MAD4FP]].

=== Using fpcurator ===

fpcurator is inside Infinity's Utilities components and allows for easily creating submissions. The common use is to paste urls that contain the games and press the "Curate" button to have them generated in the default folder for curations; if you are already using Flashpoint, press the "Scan For New Curations" button after that.

When a game is not multiasset and its website is more compatible with the tool (those can be checked at the utility's "sites" subfolder), your work is usually reduced to applying the proper [[Tags]] and a logo/screenshot.

Congrats! You've successfully made a curation. Now let's see how to deal with more complex games.

== Sitelocks ==
[[File:AndkonSitelock.png|thumb|The sitelock telling you to go to Andkon Arcade, despite the game already being on Andkon Arcade.]]
Some Flash games will check the domain the game is being hosted on, and "lock" the game from being played if it's not on the correct site, called a sitelock.

This can even occur, though very rarely, on the original site where the game was hosted, as is the case with [http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/ Monster Slayers]. Click this link and try to play the game; your result will be the image on the right. Ironically, despite the game already being hosted on andkon.com, it'll activate its sitelock and tell you to go to Andkon Arcade. Try to find and download the SWF using the method described in the previous section.

You should find this source URL:

http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/monsterslayers.swf

This sitelock is due to Andkon's main domain changing to "andkon.com", when it used to be "arcade.andkon.com". Therefore, changing the "andkon.com" in the URL to "arcade.andkon.com" will give us a Launch Command that bypasses the sitelock:

http://arcade.andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/monsterslayers.swf

This particular URL uses http:// instead of https://, but '''always make sure the Launch Command uses http://''' regardless.

Try to create a new curation by downloading the SWF from the top URL using cURLsDownloader, and setting the bottom URL as the Launch Command. Use the Curate tab to test your game; Flashpoint should bypass the sitelock and allow you to play Monster Slayers, just like Andkon used to.

It's important to use correct Launch Commands and proper content folders for every curation you make (even if you're curating a non-sitelocked SWF), to ensure that all the game's assets are loaded exactly as they would be on the real Internet, without running into any possible sitelocks on the way (even if the game appears to be playable outside of Flashpoint).

== Using cURLsDownloader for Multi-Asset Games ==

Up until now, we've only curated single-asset SWF files. However, many web games were made at a time where downloading one large file was intensive on Internet speeds and took longer than it should. This meant lots of games were split into several, smaller assets so the overall game loaded faster. Whether these games load all of the assets when the game first starts up or intermittently as you play the game depends on how they were programmed, making curation of multi-asset games more difficult than single-assets.

Let's check out a multi-asset game called [https://www.kongregate.com/games/struma/gateway-ii Gateway II]. Here's the link to the main SWF of the game:
https://chat.kongregate.com/gamez/0000/3268/live/gateway_2.swf?kongregate_game_version=1581667106
Try curating this SWF as described above and testing it in Flashpoint with the Run button. You'll only get to the language select screen before the game freezes once you pick one.

Select the Logs tab in Flashpoint. Find the Filters menu in the top-left corner and uncheck everything except "Redirector", then look near the bottom of the log. You should see a line with "200 HTTP/1.1" followed by a directory to the main SWF, followed by one or more lines with "404 HTTP/1.1" followed by directories to additional assets.

This means the game was calling for one or more assets that it didn't have offline, making the game freeze because it failed to load a required asset. Thankfully, Flashpoint can handle these assets as long as they're downloaded properly.

Once again, instead of manually downloading lots of assets, we can use cURLsDownloader to save time and effort.

'''Option 1:''' Download the assets called by the game as you test it in Flashpoint Infinity.
# Click the Copy Text button in the top-right of the Logs tab.
# Paste the results into a text file and remove every line except for ones beginning with "404 HTTP/1.1". Remove that section from each line along with anything before it such as timestamps, then add "http://" to the beginning of each line.
# Save the text file and drag it over cURLsDownloader.
# Wait for cURLsDownloader to finish fetching assets. Use option 1 when finished if it detects broken filenames, which will very likely fix them.
# Move the contents of the Downloads folder in cURLsDownloader to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the Run button. If anything fails to work as it should, look for more lines beginning with "404 HTTP/1.1" in the Logs tab and repeat this process.

'''Option 2:''' Download all the assets that the source page of a game loads as you play it on the live Internet (but some assets downloaded won't be part of the game).
# Once again, press F12 to open your browser's Network viewer, then refresh the page.
# Play through your game on the Internet, loading assets as you go.
# When you're confident you've loaded all of the game's assets, click the "All" tab in the Network viewer and right-click on an asset.
# Select Copy > Copy all as cURL (cmd) and paste the results into a text file.
# Save the text file and drag it over cURLsDownloader.
# Wait for cURLsDownloader to finish fetching assets. Use option 1 when finished if it detects broken filenames, which will very likely fix them.
# Open the Downloads folder in cURLsDownloader and determine which folder contains the necessary files to play the game.
# Move the contents of your chosen folder to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the "Run" button.

When testing games, if a game lets you get through more than one level without loading another asset, you'll ''generally'' be okay to assume that there's no more assets to be found, but this is never a guarantee, and you should always test your game in Flashpoint as much as you can.

== Wrapping It Up ==

Once you're sure you've gotten a game working in Flashpoint, it's time to add the additional parts of any curation. The [[Curation Format]] page tells you how curations are laid out in order to add it to the master build of Flashpoint with as much information as possible. '''You should read the [[Curation Format#List of Metadata Fields|List of Metadata Fields]] section specifically; there are more than a few fields that need to be filled in on each curation this tutorial didn't specifically cover.'''

When you've created a proper curation in the Curate tab, click the "Export" button at the bottom of your curation, which will save a .7z archive of the curation ready to be imported into the master build. Name it something relevant (typically the name of the game), and save it wherever you'll remember it.

Note that your [[Save Data Locations|save data]] for the game will not be included in your curation.

Once you have your .7z ready, follow the instructions below to make sure it gets added to Flashpoint.

Curation Tutorial

2023-07-15T02:06:19Z

ThePowerPlayer:

This page is a basic tutorial on how Flashpoint works and how to curate games for addition to Flashpoint.

Additionally, please read the [[Curation Format]] page for a more detailed explanation on what a curation should look like before submitting.

If you would like an overview, check out this '''video tutorial''': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im7tlzhd4fg

== How Flashpoint Works ==

Flashpoint is more than just a program to play files; rather, it's a combination of two programs working in parallel:
* a '''web server''', which hosts game files from an internal or external drive and pretends to be the original Internet source the games ran off of,
* and a '''launcher''', the user interface to select and play games from.

Flashpoint itself also comes in two primary versions:
* '''Infinity''', the version that downloads games and animations from a server as you play or view them,
* and '''Ultimate''', the gigantic version with every game and animation included and ready for offline play and viewing.

Infinity will download files as you play games that request them, while Ultimate knows the files are already there. Both make the files believe they're being ran on their original source. This has numerous benefits, the two most important being bypassing '''sitelocks''' and supporting '''multi-asset''' games. The [[How Flashpoint Works]] article provides more detail on this topic. Before we understand how Flashpoint handles those cases, though, let's walk through the simplest case possible: curating a single-asset SWF file.

== Setting Up Our Software ==

To download game files from the Internet, you'll need:
* Flashpoint Infinity, used to add and test new games. It can be found at the bottom of our [https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads Downloads] page. Curation is done any version of Infinity with an Installer, any previous versions are '''not''' to be used for curation.'''DO NOT use Flashpoint Core to curate.'''
* A modern browser such as Chrome or Firefox, which have a built in Network monitor that we can use to find and grab individual SWFs, and sometimes multi-asset titles with low amounts of resources.
* cURLsDownloader, found as a component in the Extras section of the Flashpoint Infinity Installer. This isn't strictly necessary, but it helps immensely; you'll see why later on.

Download Flashpoint Infinity, extract it to an internal or external drive, run it via its shortcut in the extracted folder, and make sure that the included games play properly before you continue.

== Finding the Source of a Flash Game ==
[[File:SWFAssetInChrome.png|thumb|The SWF for Interactive Buddy in Chrome's network tab; it should look similar on Firefox.]]
'''Be sure to [https://unstable.life/flashpoint-database/search/ search the Flashpoint database], check the [[Not Accepted Curations]] page, and search the Curations channels in the [https://discord.gg/S9uJ794 Flashpoint Discord server] before settling on a game! Otherwise, you might waste time and effort to save a game that's already been saved.'''

As a tutorial, we'll start by curating the simplest type of Flash game: a single SWF file that isn't sitelocked, specifically [https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/218014 Interactive Buddy]. You might need to enable Flash in your browser to get it to play (this tutorial won't work if you're using another player such as the Newgrounds Player).

* You can filter miscellaneous types of assets such as Flash files by clicking the Other tab within the Network tab.
* Refresh the page to find that a few assets loaded. The game file has an extension of '''.swf''', and has a type of x-shockwave-flash in the table.
* Once you find the SWF, you can hover over it to see its URL and confirm that it ends in .swf.
* Right-click the asset and select Copy > Copy link address.

If you know your game is Flash but still can't get it to work, check the [[Flash Curation]] page for more detailed info on specifically Flash games. If all else fails, ask away in #curator-lounge on our Discord and we'll try to solve the issue together.

[[File:LaunchCommandMatchesContent.png|thumb|What your curation should look like when you're finished. Note how the Launch Command matches the Content Files. For details on the other fields see the [[Curation_Format#List_of_Metadata_Fields|Curation Format page]] ]]

Congrats! You've successfully made a curation. Now let's see how to deal with more complex games.

== Sitelocks ==
[[File:AndkonSitelock.png|thumb|The sitelock telling you to go to Andkon Arcade, despite the game already being on Andkon Arcade.]]
Some Flash games will check the domain the game is being hosted on, and "lock" the game from being played if it's not on the correct site, called a sitelock.

This can even occur, though very rarely, on the original site where the game was hosted, as is the case with [http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/ Monster Slayers]. Click this link and try to play the game; your result will be the image on the right.

https://chat.kongregate.com/gamez/0000/3268/live/gateway_2.swf?kongregate_game_version=1581667106
Try curating this SWF as described above and testing it in Flashpoint with the Run button. You'll only get to the language select screen before the game freezes once you pick one.

Select the Logs tab in Flashpoint. Find the Filters menu in the top-left corner and uncheck everything except "Redirector", then look near the bottom of the log. You should see a line with "200 HTTP/1.1" followed by a directory to the main SWF, followed by one or more lines with "404 HTTP/1.1" followed by directories to additional assets.

This means the game was calling for one or more assets that it didn't have offline, making the game freeze because it failed to load a required asset. Thankfully, Flashpoint can handle these assets as long as they're downloaded properly.

# Move the contents of your chosen folder to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the "Run" button.

When testing games, if a game lets you get through more than one level without loading another asset, you'll ''generally'' be okay to assume that there's no more assets to be found, but this is never a guarantee, and you should always test your game in Flashpoint as much as you can.

== Wrapping It Up ==

Once you're sure you've gotten a game working in Flashpoint, it's time to add the additional parts of any curation. The [[Curation Format]] page tells you how curations are laid out in order to add it to the master build of Flashpoint with as much information as possible. '''You should read the [[Curation Format#List of Metadata Fields|List of Metadata Fields]] section specifically; there are more than a few fields that need to be filled in on each curation this tutorial didn't specifically cover.'''

When you've created a proper curation in the Curate tab, click the "Export" button at the bottom of your curation, which will save a .7z archive of the curation ready to be imported into the master build. Name it something relevant (typically the name of the game), and save it wherever you'll remember it.

Note that your [[Save Data Locations|save data]] for the game will not be included in your curation.

Once you have your .7z ready, follow the instructions below to make sure it gets added to Flashpoint.

Submitting a Curation

2023-07-15T02:02:56Z

ThePowerPlayer:

===Submitting a Curation===

Submissions are uploaded in the [https://fpfss.unstable.life/web Flashpoint Submission System], which requires you to join our [https://discord.gg/S9uJ794 Discord server] first. An explanation of how the site works is available [https://fpfss.unstable.life/web/help here].

If you have any questions, ask in #curators and a Curator will answer them.

After you have uploaded your curation to the website, a Curator will check it. This can take some time, so please be patient. You will be pinged in #fpfss-notifications about whether or not your submission was approved, and if any changes need to be made.

Once your first submission is approved, you'll be given the Trial Curator role. That means you will be able to submit more curations and upload bigger files.

Congratulations! Your submitted game/animation will appear in the next update to Flashpoint.

HTML5 Curation

2023-07-15T01:56:32Z

ThePowerPlayer: /* Responsive Design Mode and Mobile Elements */ Improved clarity

HTML5 games are currently not nearly as endangered as Flash games, and are in fact often cited as replacing the Flash medium. However, they still pose a risk of disappearing at some point in time, and therefore should be considered for curation just like other web game formats.

This tutorial assumes you've read the standard [[Curation Tutorial]], which is highly recommended to go through. Try curating a Flash game before moving on to HTML5.

== Identifying HTML5 Games ==
If a web game doesn't ask to enable Adobe Flash Player and there's no sign or mention of any of the other [[Platforms]], it is very likely an HTML5 game. Many use game engines as their base, the most prominent example being Unity WebGL, which replaced the previous [[Unity_Curation|Unity NPAPI implementation]] that no longer works.

To confirm this, press F12 to open the Developer Tools of your browser, click on the Inspect Element button and click on the game area. This will show you in the <code>Elements</code> tab the iframe the game is located in, and there you'll find the link for the main file of the game. You can also look for a <code>.html</code> file, likely with the filename <code>index.html</code>. However this is not always present, the iframe for many modern games will have no filename or extension at the end. These look like a regular URL rather than a link to a file.

Copy the file's link and go to it. If it plays an unobstructed version of the game, you've found the source of your Launch Command. Keep in mind that not all games should be divorced from the page they are found in, such as individual games outside of webgame websites.

'''Make sure to always use http:// instead of https:// to make sure Flashpoint grabs files from the fake Internet instead of the real one!'''

== Grabbing The Game From The Internet ==
[[File:Individual-Sprites-HTML5-example.png|thumb|300px|Some games have one or more image files that act as sprite sheets, others will have each unique texture as an individual file, so make sure to get them all.]]

There are an extremely low number of HTML5 games that are single-asset. For multi-asset curations, you have two main options, both of which are [[Curation Tutorial#Multi-Asset_Games|described here]], but each is more suited for different tasks which we'll explain here.

Create a new curation in the Curate tab of Flashpoint Core and fill it out with as much information as you can, including the Launch Command you found earlier. The Platform should be <code>HTML5</code>, and the Application Path should be <code>FPSoftware\fpnavigator-portable\FPNavigator.exe</code>, referring to the Flashpoint Navigator browser used for most HTML5 games.

After inputting the launch command, use <code>Run with MAD4FP</code>, and start playing the game. [[MAD4FP]] will download any assets automatically as you play and make progress.

'''REMEMBER, ALWAYS TEST THE GAME 100%, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL!''' This is true for all games, but especially HTML5, as nearly none are single-asset, you are almost guaranteed to find a multi-asset. Because of how it works, most games will only call assets when needed, so make sure to navigate all the menus, click all the buttons, and play the game as thoroughly as possible. This may include hidden collectables, unique voice lines, downloadables, completion bonuses, etc.

Wayback will not save these missing assets on a normal capture, and computers/browsers tend to clear cache much more frequently for optimization, making cache dumps unlikely to yield anything, so once it's gone, it's likely gone for good. Better to catch everything first try and make sure it's not lost. For more information on multi-assets in general, [[Curation Tutorial#Multi-Asset_Games|go here]].

Once you've finished playing through the game, you need to make sure that all of the game's assets have actually been downloaded. To do this, first close Navigator, and clear it's cache by following [[Extended FAQ#ClearBasiliskCache|these instructions]], then close Navigator. Next, press the <code>Run</code> button to test the game again, this time without using MAD4FP. If the game does not work, MAD4FP likely failed to download some of the required assets. Follow the instructions in the [[#Missing Assets|Missing Assets]] section to complete the curation.

== Other Browsers ==
[[File:BasiliskError.png|thumb|300px|Common error message for games that don't work in Navigator.]]
[[File:UnityWebglError.PNG|thumb|300px|Error message seen in Unity WebGL games that need to be run in another browser.]]
Some games will not work in the version of Navigator used by Flashpoint. This is generally for one of two reasons: 1) The game requires a feature or technology not present in the 32-bit version of Navigator, which no longer receives updates; or 2) The game requires a Chromium-based browser to work properly. In order for these games to work in Flashpoint, two other browsers were added, <code>Browser Mode</code> and <code>Chromium</code>. The two have somewhat different uses, so testing the game in both versions may be needed to see what will work best.

Sometimes a game that doesn't work in Navigator will show an error message. A message similar to the examples is typically a sure sign that another browser must be used for the curation. In other cases, the game may work to some degree, but certain elements may be missing or not working properly. Common issues include: the game loading with no graphics, the game's music and/or sound effects not playing, the game's controls not working, or the game experiencing lag issues not present in other browsers. Performance issues are especially common with Unity WebGL games in Navigator.

=== Browser Mode ===
Browser Mode is a way of running games using Flashpoint's launcher. It is usually the first one to try when a game doesn't work in Navigator. However, since Browser Mode is not a full web browser, it has some limitations that mean it isn't an option for all games.

The limitations of Browser Mode include:
* Cannot open multiple tabs or windows.
* Doesn't support games that require a webcam
* Games that require the cursor to be captured may not work properly.
* Currently cannot be used for Alternate Applications (but may support them in the future).

'''The Application Path for Browser Mode is''' <code>:browser-mode:</code>.

=== Chromium ===
Ungoogled Chromium is included in Flashpoint as a second full browser alongside Navigator. It is currently not used for many games but fixes issues that Navigator and Browser Mode cannot. The main limitation Chromium has over the other two browsers is that it cannot load Flash content for the few HTML5/Flash hybrid games.

'''The Application Path for Chromium is''' <code>FPSoftware\startChrome.bat</code>.

== Google Fonts Elements ==
[[File:Google Fonts Missing.png|thumb|300px|Missing icons and the default font, compared to how it should look with everything being displayed.]]
Some games will make use of Google's library of fonts and icons, and these can have trouble displaying in Flashpoint.

This may be because the <code>index.html</code> (or equivalent) may not be calling the font file directly, but making a request to Google's servers to serve one or more fonts depending on the URL parameters. When the page uses multiple fonts, the same <code>css</code> file may be requested with different parameters. If so, you'll need to follow the steps below to make the fonts display properly.

<ol>
<li>
Look at the logs and check for any 404 requests from <code>fonts.googleapis.com</code>. You might observe the differences between the version you have and the one hosted on the live web, but check the logs to be sure. <br>
For example, <code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Corben:400&display=swap&subset=latin-ext</code>
</li>
<li>
Take the request URL and open it in your web browser. <br>
The previous example will get this response from the server:
<pre>/* latin-ext */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Corben';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-display: swap;
src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNqQNFlVs.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0100-024F, U+0259, U+1E00-1EFF, U+2020, U+20A0-20AB, U+20AD-20CF, U+2113, U+2C60-2C7F, U+A720-A7FF;
}
/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Corben';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-display: swap;
src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNpwNF.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}</pre>
</li>
<li>
Search the response for the font/icon URLs. In the previous example, these are the font URLs:
<pre>https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNqQNFlVs.woff2
https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/corben/v14/LYjDdGzzklQtCMpNpwNF.woff2</pre>
Download the URLs with cURLsDownloader to get them with the correct file structure, then move them to the curation <code>content</code> folder.
</li>
<li>
Open a text editor such as Notepad and copy the server response into it, replace any <code>https</code> URLs with <code>http</code>, then save the file as <code>fonts.css</code> (not .txt!)<br>
Several of these request URLs may be present so name subsequent ones sequentially (<code>fonts2.css</code> <code>fonts3.css</code>). In the case of Icons use <code>icons.css</code>.
</li>
<li>
Place these files in the same folder where the <code>.html</code> file is located.
</li>
<li>
Open the <code>.html</code> file in a text editor and replace the original requests with the name of the .css file you created. <br>
For example, replace: <br>
<code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Corben:400&display=swap&subset=latin-ext</code> with <code>fonts.css</code> <br>
<code>https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons</code> with <code>icons.css</code> <br>
And so on.
</li>
<li>
Repeat this with other request URLs the game might need.
</li>
</ol>

After this, make sure the fonts are displaying correctly just like they are on the live web version.

== Responsive Design Mode and Mobile Elements ==
[[File:DesktopvsMobileHTML5.png|thumb|200px|Some games will have mobile controls, loading different assets.]]

Unlike traditional plugins, HTML5 allows games to be played on both desktop devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) and mobile devices (iOS, Android, etc.). This means that some games will implement Responsive Design elements, allowing them to work better on mobile platforms. This can load new assets such as pages, scripts, elements, images, etc.

To check whether a game has these elements, play the game both in desktop and Responsive Design Mode. Here's how to enable Responsive Design Mode in Navigator:
#First, access the developer tools: click the menu button in the top-right corner and select <code>Developer</code>, then <code>Toggle Tools</code>, or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I.
#A menu should appear at the bottom of the window; look for a phone icon on the right side of this menu, and click it to enable <code>Responsive Design Mode</code>. This will activate the Responsive Design menu, which will surround the game window.
#Look for a button above the game window with a tapping finger symbol, and click it to enable <code>Touch Events</code>, which allows game elements to be clicked on just like tapping the screen.
#Make sure to reload the page after this, as these elements might not have been loaded in the default desktop mode.
#Use the <code>Rotate</code> button (the curved arrow) to test whether the game works, as some games do not allow you to play in a certain device orientation, and will load warning messages until the device is rotated.

Make sure to skim through the entire game where these elements might show up, like parts with game controls or menus.

== YouTube Games ==
See [[HTML5 Curation/YouTube Games]].

== Troubleshooting ==
=== HTTPS Removal ===
Don't be surprised if it doesn't work at first; HTML5 games are relatively stable and mostly work, but a common occurrence is the game refusing to load assets.

This most likely is because of <code>https</code> requests inside the code of the game calling for files on the live web and failing, instead of <code>http</code> which calls local files. You will need to find and replace all instances of <code>https</code> with <code>http</code> in the game files. You might need to repeat this step multiple times for different parts of the game, due to most games being muiltiassets, they will only call certain parts that are needed during sections of gameplay.

To streamline and simplify the process, we suggest using Notepad++ and its <code>Find in Files</code> function, where you can input the Directory that points to the content folder of your curation, and then click <code>Replace in Files</code> where it will search in all the game files each instance and replace it.

Doing this process once is not always enough, so if the game continues to not load assets, you'll probably need to do it multiple times. You'll need to download more files before replacing <code>https</code> again.

In rare cases, you may have <code>https</code> requests coming from an obfuscated file. In these cases you will need to deobfuscate the code. There are online tools that can help with this. Also note that you cannot remove <code>https</code> from WebAssembly and Unity WebGL content for now.

This is a really common form of modification for HTML5 games, but it is minor enough that games with altered https requests don't really need to be marked as Hacked. Note that this rule only applies to text files (such as HTML and JS files); you must always mark a game as Hacked if you edit binary files (such as SWFs).

=== Missing Assets ===
While curating, there might be a few missing files, so to get them we can use cURLsDownloader.

* If MAD4FP isn't able to download certain files, or they are missing while testing without it, go to the Logs tab, click on <code>Copy 404 URLs</code>, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save.
* If Navigator is having trouble running the application, run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and play the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save.

Next, drag & drop the file onto <code>cURLsDownloader.bat</code>. Copy the contents of the <code>Downloads</code> folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the <code>Open Folder</code> button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the <code>content</code> folder of your curation. For more information about cURLsDownloader, be sure to read the included manual.

=== Clean-up of Junk Files ===
Since MAD4FP downloads every file requested by the game that still exists on the live web, you can get a lot of files that are unnecessary for the game to work. Be careful not to enter pages outside of the game as it will download them too, best way to prevent this is by knowing where this happens inside the game.

Even with these precautions, you will download junk from other services the website uses outside of the game. After deleting them, make sure the games still work without them.

=== Cross-Origin Policies ===

A broken game may have an error in the Console tab of the browser's developer tools that access to a file has been blocked by a CORS policy. When that's the case, create a file called <code>.htaccess</code> in the folder the game wants to get the file with the following content:
<pre>Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "*"</pre>

=== Outdated Web Audio Functions ===
If an HTML5 game loads only in an old version of Chrome or Internet Explorer, it may use old and nonstandard web audio API functions instead of their modern equivalents. To check whether this is happening, open the Console tab of Navigator's Developer Tools and check for errors mentioning web audio functions such as <code>createGainNode</code> or <code>noteOn</code>. If you're not sure whether an error is related to audio, google some keywords from the error message.

Once you've confirmed the problem, follow these steps to fix it:
# Go to the [https://github.com/cwilso/webkitAudioContext-MonkeyPatch webkitAudioContext monkeypatch repository]. Click the <code>webkitAudioContextMonkeyPatch.js</code> file, then click the "Raw" button. Finally press Ctrl-S to save the file.
# Place the downloaded file in the same folder as the game's main HTML file.
# Open the main HTML file in a text editor such as Notepad. Insert the following line inside the <code><head></code> tag of the file, before any other <code><script></code> tags: <br> <code><script src="webkitAudioContextMonkeyPatch.js"></script></code>
# Save the HTML file and test the game again.

=== Broken Or Non-Functional Games ===
Some games might require a certain browser we do not support or features not available in the browsers we have. While we are now able to support most HTML5 games, there are still some that may not be curatable. The most common example of this is HTML5 games that only work in a mobile browser. While we may be able to support these games in the future, they are currently unable to be properly added to Flashpoint.

When dealing with a game we currently can't support, the best option (if possible) is to run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and playing the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a <code>.txt</code> file, paste and save. Next, drag & drop the file onto <code>cURLsDownloader.bat</code>. Copy the contents of the <code>Downloads</code> folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the <code>Open Folder</code> button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the <code>content</code> folder of your curation.

Upload this curation to #curator-lounge on our Discord server for safekeeping, as it might be able to work in the future.

Request Form

2023-07-06T04:05:39Z

ThePowerPlayer: Added non-guarantee disclaimer, similar to the descriptions on the forms themselves and the #how-to-request channel on the Discord server

The forms below allow you to submit an online game or animation as a request to be added to Flashpoint.

Please note that requesting content does not guarantee its inclusion in Flashpoint, due to an incredibly large number of requests having already been made. Before making a request, consider learning [[Curation Tutorial|how to curate content]] to make sure it's properly preserved in Flashpoint.

You may only submit one game/animation per request, and the link provided must point to the web page on which it is played (if you can't find the page for whatever reason, you may link directly to the main file of said content instead). Requests for multiple games/animations or general links to the provider's main page (e.g. just "Newgrounds.com") will not be accepted. Note: Microsites and games that are spread across multiple interlinked web pages may be submitted as a single request.

Before requesting, make sure your request follows these requirements below:
# It is content meant to be played through an internet browser.
# It is fully working at the link you found.
# It has not already been added to Flashpoint ― you can check that [https://flashpoint-search.unstable.life here]. More options for searching the collection are available [[Searching the Collection|here]] if you need them.
# It is not heavily online-dependent (ie. online multiplayer games, MMOs, or social media games)
# It is not a desktop or mobile game based on a webgame (such as Insaniquarium Deluxe on desktop, or Robot Unicorn Attack 3 on mobile).
# It is not an emulator that's prepackaged with a ROM.
# It is not a video file embedded in an SWF. (If you're not sure, try playing it in VLC Media Player. If it plays from beginning to end without any problem, it is not eligible for request.)

If you don't know the platform of the content you're requesting, refer to the image below:

ThePowerPlayer: Moved Upgrade tag to Other category

Tags are used to classify and organize games in Flashpoint for easier searching. Here, they have been organised into categories. You may use multiple tags per game, and you can use any of the category headers from ''Action'' to ''Other'' and ''Game Jam'' as tags too. Tags can be applied to either games or animations, but the most common [[#Animations|Animation tags]] are listed in their own section for your convenience. If there is a tag that you feel would be useful, please ask a Staff Member on the Discord server, and we'll see if it's something that should be added. We don't want tags to be too specific, to the point where a tag exists solely for one game.

Tags that are associated with a particular franchise or intellectual property, web-game related or not.

In other words, fan-made games and animations based on a particular franchise can still use their respective franchise tag even if they weren't developed/published by the owners of the IP. At least three games in Flashpoint should be based around a franchise to warrant a tag for that franchise.

== Game Engines ==

Game Engines are any programming tool used to make games at a higher level than using the tech directly. Note: a [[Platforms|Platform]] is not the same thing as a game engine! For example, [[Unity Curation|Unity Web Player]] content should not have the Unity WebGL tag, and Unity WebGL content should have the [[HTML5 Curation|HTML5]] Platform. At least three games in Flashpoint should be created in an engine to warrant a tag for that engine.

Also note that for fantasy computers like the TIC-80, only ''games made with the engine'' should get the tag. The engine itself and its web client are written with a different tool, such as the C programming language.

Curation Tutorial

2021-07-08T14:24:05Z

ThePowerPlayer: Clarified description of red herring SWFs

This page is a basic tutorial on how Flashpoint works and how to curate games for addition to Flashpoint.

Additionally, please read the [[Curation Format]] page for a more detailed explanation on what a curation should look like before submitting.

If you would like an overview, check out this '''video tutorial''': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im7tlzhd4fg

== How Flashpoint Works ==
Flashpoint is more than just a program to play files; rather, it's a combination of two programs working in parallel:
* a '''web server''', which hosts game files from an internal or external drive and pretends to be the original Internet source the games ran off of,
* and a '''launcher''', the user interface to select and play games from.

Flashpoint itself also comes in three primary versions:
* '''Infinity''', the version that downloads games and animations from a server as you play or view them,
* '''Ultimate''', the gigantic version with every game and animation included and ready for offline play and viewing,
* and '''Core''', the version with only a few games for testing, most often used by Curators to add games.

Infinity will download files as you play games that request them, while Ultimate and Core know the files are already there. All three make the files believe they're being ran on their original source. This has numerous benefits, the two most important being bypassing '''sitelocks''' and supporting '''multi-asset''' games. Before we understand how Flashpoint handles those cases, though, let's walk through the simplest case possible; curating a single-asset SWF file.

== Setting Up Our Software ==

To download game files from the Internet, you'll need:
* Flashpoint Core, used to add and test new games. It can be found at the bottom of our [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Downloads] page. '''DO NOT''' use Flashpoint Infinity to curate.
* A modern browser such as Chrome or Firefox, which have a built in Network monitor that we can use to find and grab individual SWFs, and sometimes multi-asset titles with low amounts of resources.
* cURLsDownloader, found in the Utilities folder of the Flashpoint Core directory. This isn't strictly necessary, but it helps immensely; you'll see why later on.

Download Flashpoint Core, extract it to an internal or external drive, run it via its shortcut in the extracted folder, and make sure that the included games play properly before you continue.

== Finding the Source of a Flash Game ==
[[File:SWFAssetInChrome.png|thumb|The SWF for Interactive Buddy in Chrome's network tab; it should look similar on Firefox.]]
'''Be sure to check the [[Game Master List]], [[Not Accepted Curations]] and the Curations channels in the [https://discord.gg/S9uJ794 Flashpoint Discord server] before settling on a game! Otherwise, you might waste time and effort to save a game that's already been saved.'''

As a tutorial, we'll start by curating the simplest type of Flash game: a single SWF file that isn't sitelocked, specifically [https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/218014 Interactive Buddy]. You might need to enable Flash in your browser to get it to play (this tutorial won't work if you're using another player such as the Newgrounds Player).

* If you're using Chrome or Firefox, press F12 to open the Developer Tools and click on the Network tab. This shows us every asset that loads on the page in real time.
* You can filter miscellaneous types of assets such as Flash files by clicking the Other tab within the Network tab.
* Refresh the page to find that a few assets loaded. The game file has an extension of '''.swf''', and has a type of x-shockwave-flash in the table.
* Once you find the SWF, you can hover over it to see its URL and confirm that it ends in .swf.
* Right-click the asset and select Copy > Copy link address.

If you know your game is Flash but still can't get it to work, check the [[Flash Curation]] page for more detailed info on specifically Flash games. If all else fails, ask away in #curator-lounge on our Discord and we'll try to solve the issue together.

=== Other Methods for Obtaining Game Source URLs ===

If you're having a hard time finding the game's source this way, or just desire a more convenient method, additional options are available.

'''Option 1:''' <s>Use the [[Game Saver Extension|Game Saver Chrome Extension]] to save Flash game files automatically. After you do this, you can skip directly to the [[#Curating with Flashpoint Core|Curating with Flashpoint Core]] section.</s> '''The Game Saver Extension currently does not work due to the killswitch. Ruffle support is being worked on.'''

'''Option 2:''' Press Ctrl+U on the page the game is embedded on to open its source HTML file. Press Ctrl+F to open the search bar, then type in ".swf". You'll likely come across a link directly to the game's SWF source file., which you can copy and save for later.

'''Be careful of red herring SWFs!''' Use common sense when finding SWFs this way, as some pages may embed multiple SWFs at once, only one of which is the actual game file.
Kongregate notoriously embeds a <code>konduit</code> SWF into each game's HTML page instead of the game's source SWF, making it impossible to find the link using this method.

'''Option 3:''' Open Developer Tools, but instead of clicking on the Network tab, click on the Elements tab instead. Use Ctrl+F just like with Option 1 to find and copy the link to the game's source file. This is useful when neither of the above options work, especially when attempting to find [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Flash_Curation#Flashvars flashvars.]
=== Non-Flash Games ===

If a context menu that mentions Adobe Flash Player doesn't appear when right clicking the game canvas, it's probably not a Flash game. Don't worry, we got you covered! Try viewing our tutorials specifically tailored for other [[Platforms]] like Shockwave or HTML5.

== Generating Content Folders with cURLsDownloader ==

If you've followed the tutorial up to this point, you should have copied this link to the SWF for Interactive Buddy:

https://uploads.ungrounded.net/218000/218014_DAbuddy_latest.swf?123

Flashpoint calls files from a file directory created from the URL of a game, packaged into a folder called '''content''' for each curation. Instead of creating a content folder manually, though, we can use a tool called cURLsDownloader to do it automatically.

* cURLsDownloader should be in your Flashpoint Core folder > Utilities > cURLsDownloader.
* Open cURLsDownloader and paste your game URL into its input.
* Select Option 1 to grab the SWF file.
* cURLsDownloader will automatically download the SWF and create a content folder for Flashpoint, located in its Downloads folder. Use option 1 when finished if it detects a broken filename, which will very likely fix it.

We'll come back to this Downloads folder later to move it to its proper place.

== Curating with Flashpoint Core ==

[[File:LaunchCommandMatchesContent.png|thumb|What your curation should look like when you're finished. Note how the Launch Command matches the Content Files. For details on the other fields see the [[Curation_Format#List_of_Metadata_Fields|Curation Format page]] ]]
The expected way to curate is to use the '''Curate Tab''' in Flashpoint Core. First, take a look at our [[Curate Tab|visual Curate Tab guide]]. Next, open Core and select the Curate tab, then click the New Curation button to see a list of fields to fill in. These are the most important ones:
* The Title, which tells the game apart from others. Name it "Interactive Buddy" or "Test Game" or anything you like, it doesn't matter right now.
* The Platform, which determines where the game goes inside our database, split into several platforms (Flash, Shockwave, Unity, etc). When using Core for testing purposes, this isn't massively important, but Flash is selected for SWF files and by default.
* The Application Path. This determines what piece of software is used to start up the file we specify. In this case we're using a single, simple SWF, so we'll use the Flash Player Projector; in the current version of Core, this is listed as "FPSoftware\Flash\flashplayer_32_sa.exe", and is selected by default.
* The Launch Command, based on the URL of the game's source file.

To summarize, the Launch Command of a game is most often the URL of its source file. However, '''be extremely careful''' about the beginning of this game's URL; it uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. Flashpoint can't handle using HTTPS, and will download assets from the live Internet instead of from its fake Internet server, which can lead to a game going off the web later and not working in Flashpoint when that happens. To summarize, '''no matter the URL, always use http:// at the beginning of any Launch Command, NO EXCEPTIONS.'''

To add the content you generated earlier using cURLsDownloader, click the "Open Folder" button at the bottom of your curation and you should see a "content" folder. Move all of the folders from cURLsDownloader's "Downloads" folder into this "content" folder, and then click the "Refresh Content" button.

Take a look at the image to the right to see how your tutorial curation should look. If any field is highlighted in yellow, it's a warning; take another look at your own curation and see what's wrong. Curations of your own should have as much metadata filled in as possible, but the fields mentioned above ensure the game will work in Flashpoint. You can fill in the rest of the fields if you like, but it's not necessary right now.

Once you're confident your curation looks good, click the "Run" button next to the "Open Folder" button to test the game and you should see Interactive Buddy pop up.

=== Using MAD4FP ===

MAD4FP (Multi-Asset Downloader for Flashpoint) allows for automatically downloading game assets. It can download content files directly into your curation's content folder and create the proper folder structure automatically. For more information, see [[MAD4FP]].

=== Using fpcurator ===

fpcurator has recently been integrated into Core 10's Utilities folder and allows for easily creating submissions. The common use is to paste urls that contain the games and press the "Curate" button to have them generated in the default folder for curations; if you are already using Flashpoint, press the "Scan For New Curations" button after that.

When a game is not multiasset and its website is more compatible with the tool (those can be checked at the utility's "sites" subfolder), your work is usually reduced to applying the proper [[Tags]] and a logo/screenshot.

Congrats! You've successfully made a curation. Now let's see how to deal with more complex games.

== Sitelocks ==
[[File:AndkonSitelock.png|thumb|The sitelock telling you to go to Andkon Arcade, despite the game already being on Andkon Arcade.]]
Some Flash games will check the domain the game is being hosted on, and "lock" the game from being played if it's not on the correct site, called a sitelock.

This can even occur, though very rarely, on the original site where the game was hosted, as is the case with [http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/ Monster Slayers]. Click this link and try to play the game; your result will be the image on the right. Despite the game already being hosted on andkon.com, it'll activate its sitelock and tell you to go to Andkon Arcade. Try to find and download the SWF using the method described in the previous section.

You should find this source URL:

http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/monsterslayers.swf

This ironic sitelock is due to Andkon's main domain changing to "andkon.com", when it used to be "arcade.andkon.com". Therefore, changing the "andkon.com" in the URL to "arcade.andkon.com" will give us a Launch Command that bypasses the sitelock:

http://arcade.andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/monsterslayers/monsterslayers.swf

This particular URL uses http:// instead of https://, but '''always make sure the Launch Command uses http://''' regardless.

Try to create a new curation by downloading the SWF from the top URL using cURLsDownloader, and setting the bottom URL as the Launch Command. Use the Curate tab in Flashpoint Core to test your game; Flashpoint should bypass the sitelock and allow you to play Monster Slayers, just like Andkon used to.

It's important to use correct Launch Commands and proper content folders for every curation you make (even if you're curating a non-sitelocked SWF), to ensure that all the game's assets are loaded exactly as they would be on the real Internet, without running into any possible sitelocks on the way (even if the game appears to be playable outside of Flashpoint).

== Using cURLsDownloader for Multi-Asset Games ==

Up until now, we've only curated single-asset SWF files. However, many web games were made at a time where downloading one large file was intensive on Internet speeds and took longer than it should. This meant lots of games were split into several, smaller assets so the overall game loaded faster. Whether these games load all of the assets when the game first starts up or intermittently as you play the game depends on how they were programmed, making curation of multi-asset games more difficult than single-assets.

Let's check out a multi-asset game called [https://www.kongregate.com/games/struma/gateway-ii Gateway II]. Here's the link to the main SWF of the game:
https://chat.kongregate.com/gamez/0000/3268/live/gateway_2.swf?kongregate_game_version=1581667106
Try curating this SWF as described above and testing it in Flashpoint with the Run button. You'll only get to the language select screen before the game freezes once you pick one.

Select the Logs tab in Flashpoint. Find the Filters menu in the top-left corner and uncheck everything except "Redirector", then look near the bottom of the log. You should see a line with "200 HTTP/1.1" followed by a directory to the main SWF, followed by one or more lines with "404 HTTP/1.1" followed by directories to additional assets.

This means the game was calling for one or more assets that it didn't have offline, making the game freeze because it failed to load a required asset. Thankfully, Flashpoint can handle these assets as long as they're downloaded properly.

Once again, instead of manually downloading lots of assets, we can use cURLsDownloader to save time and effort.

'''Option 1:''' Download the assets called by the game as you test it in Flashpoint Core.
# Click the Copy Text button in the top-right of the Logs tab.
# Paste the results into a text file and remove every line except for ones beginning with "404 HTTP/1.1". Remove that section from each line along with anything before it such as timestamps, then add "http://" to the beginning of each line.
# Save the text file and drag it over cURLsDownloader.
# Wait for cURLsDownloader to finish fetching assets. Use option 1 when finished if it detects broken filenames, which will very likely fix them.
# Move the contents of the Downloads folder in cURLsDownloader to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the Run button. If anything fails to work as it should, look for more lines beginning with "404 HTTP/1.1" in the Logs tab and repeat this process.

'''Option 2:''' Download all the assets that the source page of a game loads as you play it on the live Internet (but some assets downloaded won't be part of the game).
# Once again, press F12 to open your browser's Network viewer, then refresh the page.
# Play through your game on the Internet, loading assets as you go.
# When you're confident you've loaded all of the game's assets, click the "All" tab in the Network viewer and right-click on an asset.
# Select Copy > Copy all as cURL (cmd) and paste the results into a text file.
# Save the text file and drag it over cURLsDownloader.
# Wait for cURLsDownloader to finish fetching assets. Use option 1 when finished if it detects broken filenames, which will very likely fix them.
# Open the Downloads folder in cURLsDownloader and determine which folder contains the necessary files to play the game.
# Move the contents of your chosen folder to the content folder of your curation.
# Test your game with the "Run" button.

When testing games, if a game lets you get through more than one level without loading another asset, you'll ''generally'' be okay to assume that there's no more assets to be found, but this is never a guarantee, and you should always test your game in Flashpoint as much as you can.

== Wrapping It Up ==

Once you're sure you've gotten a game working in Flashpoint, it's time to add the additional parts of any curation. The [[Curation Format]] page tells you how curations are laid out in order to add it to the master build of Flashpoint with as much information as possible. '''You should read the [[Curation Format#List of Metadata Fields|List of Metadata Fields]] section specifically; there are more than a few fields that need to be filled in on each curation this tutorial didn't specifically cover.'''

'''Note:''' Any save game data will not be included in your curation

When you've created a proper curation in the Curate tab, click the "Export" button at the bottom of your curation, which will save a .7z archive of the curation ready to be imported into the master build. Name it something relevant (typically the name of the game), and save it wherever you'll remember it.

Once you have your .7z ready, follow these instructions to make sure it gets added to Flashpoint:

{{:Submitting a Curation}}

Congratulations! Your submitted game/animation will appear in the next version of Flashpoint.

ThePowerPlayer: Clarification on empty preferences.json workaround

Be sure to check the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/faq/ main FAQ] if you don't see your question here, then ask in the #flashpoint-help channel of [http://discord.gg/S9uJ794 our Discord] if you are still not satisfied. If you are using an old version of Flashpoint, you might also want to read the [[Extended FAQ/Legacy|Legacy FAQ]].

Note that not all entries here have been updated to 10.0.

==General questions about the project==

'''Q: [[#WhyFlashpoint|{{anchor|WhyFlashpoint|Why do I need Flashpoint to play the games offline? Can't I just use a standalone player like the Flash Player projector to play them?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Many web games have what is known as a ''sitelock'', which means that they will not work unless they are being played on the original site they were hosted on. Since the projector is not connected to the Internet and cannot identify those sites, those games will refuse to load on it. Flashpoint gets around this by running the games through a ''local server proxy'' which, simply put, tricks them into thinking they are being played on the original sites they were meant to be played on. Moreover, web games are commonly spread across multiple files rather than just one; those are known as ''multi-asset'' games. Those games are less likely to run with just the projector on its own, but Flashpoint also deals with that. For more details, see [[How Flashpoint Works]].

'''Q: [[#ROM|{{anchor|ROM|Can I have a zip or ROM of a specific game? Can I download just the games I want?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint simulates the internet in order to make games think they are playing on their original websites (see the previous answer for a more detailed explanation of that). Since the files are laid out the same way as they would be on the internet, games are not separated cleanly into ZIPs or "ROMs." Flashpoint Infinity downloads games on demand, so you can keep only the games you like by using Flashpoint Infinity.

'''Q: [[#FlashEOL|{{anchor|FlashEOL|Will Flash games disappear from the Internet when December 2020 hits?}}]]'''

'''A:''' They won't disappear by themselves. However, once Flash support is removed from browsers, most people won't be able to use flash content unless they downgrade their browser version. In addition, they will have to downgrade their Flash version to one that does not contain the [[#FlashKillSwitch|kill switch]]. In that situation, the sites that are hosting the games might decide to remove the Flash games because the vast majority of people won't be able to play them anymore. As we cannot rely on the assumption that sites might stay up, we're working hard to grab as many games as possible while they're still here. For more information on the road map for Flash's End of Life, see [[Flash EOL]].

'''Q: [[#FlashKillSwitch|{{anchor|FlashKillSwitch|I heard that Flash Player will block all Flash content from running after 2020. Will Flashpoint also stop working?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No. Flashpoint will continue to work in 2021 and beyond. The Flash plugin and projectors that we use do not contain the "kill switch"; this was added in a later version of the plugin.

'''Q: [[#Antivirus|{{anchor|Antivirus|My antivirus flagged Flashpoint! Does Flashpoint have any viruses?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint does not have any viruses. However, a number of antivirus programs falsely detect certain files in Flashpoint as viruses. Avast, AVG, and BitDefender are even known to render Flashpoint inoperable; you'll need to follow the instructions for [[Troubleshooting Antivirus Interference]].

'''Q: [[#Legal|{{anchor|Legal|What is the legality of this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' "The only real answer is nobody knows and really, nobody should care. Games that more or less have a ticking clock until they die need to be saved now, as fast as possible."

''- BlueMaxima''

'''Q: [[#ArchivedWebsites|{{anchor|ArchivedWebsites|Where can I see what websites have been archived?}}]]'''

'''A:''' We are working on consolidating and listing all of our scrapes, but for now, there are several places to look.

* The [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r8I5hpSPCf_9JWECwa6c4E4tQZELd3cx Flashfreeze Google Drive folder] contains all of our early site scrapes, up to August 1, 2018.

* A few more site scrapes are available from [https://archive.org/details/2018_Flash_In_The_Pan_Core_Sample this Archive.org item] and [https://archive.org/details/@bluemaxima BlueMaxima's Archive.org account].

* We track the sites we're saving on [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AwpA21I1HLacnDdQ_lRIMs1Yo3VC1uqRBq-mnRV11JU/edit this spreadsheet]. If you'd like a site saved, just add it to the appropriate column of the sheet.

* The #flashfreeze channel on our Discord server also has some leftover rips people have gotten.

'''Q: [[#PlaySWF|{{anchor|PlaySWF|Can I use Flashpoint to play my own SWF or DCR files?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow our [[Curation Tutorial]] to add games to Flashpoint! Flashpoint comes with standalone projectors for Flash and Shockwave, and in some cases it will work to simply open an SWF with a Flash projector or open a DCR with a Director projector. But to ensure that games are preserved and work properly, you'll need to curate them.

'''Q: [[#HTML5|{{anchor|HTML5|Won't the games just be converted to HTML5?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No. HTML5 is an entirely different technology, so it's impossible for them to be converted automatically.
Developers could port them over to the platform, but most will not have the time or resources to do it. Besides, the capabilities of HTML5 are different from those of Flash, so a game ported to HTML5 will never be identical to the original.

'''Q: [[#Wayback|{{anchor|Wayback|Can't I use the Wayback Machine to play them?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The game has to be archived there in the first place, which may or may not happen. Wayback is specifically poor at grabbing multi-asset games (games that use more than one file), so chances are that it will not work there.
Games with sitelocks won't work there even if they are archived.

'''Q: [[#CheckTheMasterList|{{anchor|CheckTheMasterList|How do I check whether a game is in Flashpoint? I tried using the search bar on the Master List but nothing came up!}}]]'''

'''A:''' Open the [[Game Master List]] and wait for it to finish loading. (If you're looking for an animation, use the [[Animation Master List]] instead.) Then, press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>F</code> to search the list. Since this will search exact matches, be sure to try partial titles and account for alternative punctuation. If you're searching the Master List on iOS or Android, you can follow the instructions [https://www.groovypost.com/tips/find-words-web-page-safari-ios-chrome-android/ here]. You can also use our [https://nul.sh/misc/flashpoint/ new search tool] if you're having difficulty searching the list.

'''Q: [[#OnlineMultiplayer|{{anchor|OnlineMultiplayer|Are you able to add/support this game? It's based on Facebook/is online multi-player.}}]]'''

'''A:''' Probably not. To support always online games, the emulation of a server is required. To be able to do that is almost as much work as all of Flashpoint itself, so it really wouldn't be practical to put time into.

'''Q: [[#NoNitrome|{{anchor|NoNitrome|Where are my favorite Nitrome games?}}]]'''

'''A:''' All of Nitrome's games were removed from Flashpoint 8.0 at Nitrome's request. This is in accordance with our [http://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/faq/ removal policy]. If you disagree with Nitrome's decision, you may contact them and politely ask them to reconsider. ''Please do not harass or behave rudely towards Nitrome. They are within their rights to request removal; please respect that.''

'''Q: [[#ObjectionableContent|{{anchor|ObjectionableContent|Why is <questionable content> included in Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Web games, like any other form of art, have always been used as a medium for indie developers to exercise their freedom of expression. Often, this includes homophobic, racist, sexist, and other objectionable content. As a preservation project, Flashpoint aims to archive as much content as possible from this era. It will not play the role of gatekeeper so that future generations can see what these technologies were really used for. All of these works are a snapshot in time, and provide a window into what humans wanted to create at the turn of the century as the internet was in its infancy. You do not have to agree with nor enjoy said content. In order to responsibly provide the means to organize the vast collection that is Flashpoint, it's required to tag questionable content appropriately so that others may use search filters to exclude it from the rest.

'''Q: [[#NickRobinson|{{anchor|NickRobinson|I watched a video by Nick Robinson on YouTube which said that games in Flashpoint connect to the internet! Is this true?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The short answer is '''no''', this is not true. Games in Flashpoint never connect directly to the internet; they connect to Flashpoint's "fake internet," which is a proxy server running locally on your computer. If you are using Flashpoint '''Infinity''', this proxy server will connect to Flashpoint's server at <code>infinity.unstable.life</code> to download any files that are unavailable locally. Once the game files are downloaded, the game can be played offline. If you are using Flashpoint '''Ultimate''', an internet connection is never required to play games. See [[How Flashpoint Works]] for more information.

To address the specific claims in Nick Robinson's video: Mission in Snowdriftland has been fully archived in Flashpoint since 2019 and is fully playable offline in Flashpoint Infinity once the game files have been downloaded. We have tested this with all network adapters disabled via the Windows Control Panel. Nick Robinson used a third-party "internet killswitch" tool that may have interfered with Flashpoint in an unusual way. He did not speak to us before the publication of the video and did not report any issues with our software to us, but later corrected the claims in his video as a comment on the video's page.

==Setting up Flashpoint==

'''Q: [[#FlashpointEditions|{{anchor|FlashpointEditions|What version of Flashpoint should I get? What's the difference between Infinity and Ultimate?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have a lot of free disk space, bandwidth, and time, you should get Flashpoint Ultimate. But if you don't have a lot of free space, want to get Flashpoint up and running quickly, or only want to play a few games, you should get Flashpoint Infinity. See below for a detailed description of each edition of Flashpoint.
* '''Flashpoint Ultimate''': The full package. All games are fully playable offline. Also includes a logo and screenshot for each game. You'll need a few hundred gigabytes of free disk space - see the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint downloads page] for more details.
* '''Flashpoint Infinity''': A minimalist build - games download as you choose to play them. Once games are fully downloaded, they will work offline. Logos and screenshots for games are also downloadable on demand, but Extras are not available.
* '''Flashpoint Core''': A lightweight copy of Flashpoint with one game per platform to aid curation. '''For developers and curators only!'''

'''Q: [[#UpdateFlashpoint|{{anchor|UpdateFlashpoint|How do I update Flashpoint when a new version is released?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have Flashpoint Ultimate, you can use [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/#updater FlashpointUpdater]. There is no updater available for Flashpoint Infinity or Core yet; you'll need to download and extract the new version. You can transfer any playlists you'd like to keep to a new version of Flashpoint by following [[#TransferPlaylists|the instructions below]].

'''Q: [[#TransferPlaylists|{{anchor|TransferPlaylists|How do I move my playlists to a new version of Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If your '''old version''' of Flashpoint is '''8.1 or above''', you'll need to export your playlists first:
# Open your old copy of Flashpoint. Click the appropriate tab, then click the playlist you want to keep.
# Click the "Export playlist to a file" button (this is the 2nd button from the left).
# Repeat the process for any other playlists that you want to save.

To import your playlist files into your new copy of Flashpoint, follow these steps:
# Make sure you've closed your old copy of Flashpoint, then open the new one.
# If you are transferring a Games playlist, click the Games tab of the launcher. If you are transferring an Animations playlist, click the Animations tab.
# Scroll down to the bottom of the left sidebar, then click the "Import Playlist" button.
# Navigate to the folder where your old playlists are stored.
#* If your old version of Flashpoint is '''8.0 or below''', your playlist files will be located inside its <code>Data\Playlists</code> folder.
#* Otherwise, your playlist files will be located in the folder where you exported them.
# Double-click a playlist (JSON file) to import it. Repeat the process for any other playlists that you want to import.

'''Q: [[#UninstallFlashpoint|{{anchor|UninstallFlashpoint|How do I uninstall Flashpoint from my computer?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint being a fully portable application, it can be uninstalled by simply deleting its main folder.

'''Q: [[#DownloadUltimate|{{anchor|DownloadUltimate|What's the best way to download Flashpoint Ultimate?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you're updating to a new version or you're low on disk space, we recommend using [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/#updater FlashpointUpdater]. In addition to updating an existing copy, it can also be used to download a full copy of Flashpoint Ultimate by pointing it at an empty folder. This lets you avoid downloading and extracting a 7Z file, saving a lot of disk space.

If you want the download to be as quick as possible, we recommend using the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ torrent]. It will be faster, but it comes in the form of a large 7Z file. That means you'll need sufficient free disk space both to download and extract it.

'''Q: [[#Linux|{{anchor|Linux|Can I use Flashpoint on Linux?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Yes, although not all platforms and features are supported. See [[Linux Support]].

'''Q: [[#Mac|{{anchor|Mac|Can I use Flashpoint on Mac?}}]]'''

'''A:''' A heavily experimental Flashpoint package is available for MacOS. See [[Mac Support]].

== Playing games ==

'''Q: [[#LauncherShortcut|{{anchor|LauncherShortcut|How do I create a shortcut to Flashpoint on my desktop/taskbar/start menu?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Go into the <code>Launcher</code> folder that's inside your Flashpoint directory and look for <code>Flashpoint.exe</code>. Right-click it and click <code>Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>, or drag it to your taskbar or start menu. '''CAUTION: Do NOT drag <code>Flashpoint.exe</code> directly to your desktop as that will move the file, which will make the launcher not work.'''

'''Q: [[#GameShortcut|{{anchor|GameShortcut|How do I create a shortcut to a specific game/animation in Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' This feature is planned for Flashpoint Launcher, but for now, you'll need to download two separate tools. Follow the steps below:
# Download the [https://github.com/oblivioncth/CLIFp/releases/latest latest release of CLIFp].
# Extract the ZIP file and move <code>CLIFp.exe</code> into your Flashpoint folder.
# Download [https://github.com/maichiu/FlashpointShortcutMaker/archive/main.zip Flashpoint Shortcut Maker].
# Extract the ZIP file and move <code>FlashpointShortcutMaker.vbs</code> into your Flashpoint folder.
Now that you have CLIFp and Flashpoint Shortcut Maker set up, follow the steps below to create a shortcut:
# Open Flashpoint Launcher and find the game/animation that you want to create a shortcut for.
# Right-click the game/animation and click "Copy Game UUID".
# Double-click FlashpointShortcutMaker.vbs.
# Type a name for your shortcut, then click OK. Do not use invalid filename characters such as slashes <code>/ \</code> or question marks <code>?</code>.
# Paste the UUID of the game/animation that you copied in step 2. Click OK, and the shortcut will appear on your desktop!

'''Q: [[#Fullscreen|{{anchor|Fullscreen|Can I play the games in fullscreen? Can I make them bigger?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The answer depends on the type of game you're playing. See below:
* For Flash games that open in the Flash projector, you can drag the corner of the window to resize it. Do your best to maintain the window's original aspect ratio, otherwise some games might behave in unexpected ways.
* For Flash, Shockwave, and Java games, you can play them in fullscreen using [http://tanalin.com/en/projects/integer-scaler/ IntegerScaler]. However, this program doesn't play well with multi-monitor setups.
* For most games that open in a browser, you can press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>+</code> and <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>-</code> (Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus) to zoom in and out. In most cases, fullscreen is not possible for these games.
* Another option for Shockwave is to use SPRS, a version of the Shockwave projector that runs the games in fullscreen. Though keep in mind that this feature is experimental and has only been tested with a handful of games, therefore it may not work well with all games.

To use SPRS:

# Click the pencil icon on the upper right of the game info section for the game you want to play in fullscreen (if you don't see the icon, enable editing on the <code>Config</code> tab).
# Scroll down to the field labeled <code>Application Path</code> and change <code>SPR.exe</code> to <code>SPRS.exe</code>.
# Click the checkmark button at the top to confirm.
# Launch the game.

To close the game, press <code>Esc</code> (or alternatively, <code>Alt</code> + <code>F4</code>).

'''Q: [[#RecentGames|{{anchor|RecentGames|Can I view a list of my recently played games?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint does not track your recently played games by default, but you can install the [https://github.com/LeShaps/FPL-History FPL History] extension to add this functionality. See the [[Launcher Extensions]] page for more information.

'''Q: [[#EnableEditing|{{anchor|EnableEditing|How do I edit a game or playlist in my copy of Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher, then check the "Enable Editing" box. Then click "Save and Restart." When Flashpoint Launcher re-opens, you'll notice the following changes:
* Dragging a game onto a playlist in the left sidebar will add the game to the playlist.
* Clicking the pencil button on the right sidebar will allow you to edit a game entry.
* Double-clicking the trash icon will allow you to delete a game or playlist.
* When a playlist is selected, double-clicking the X button on the right sidebar will remove the currently selected game from the playlist.

'''Q: [[#GameAssets|{{anchor|GameAssets|Where are the games stored?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have Infinity 9.0 or higher the games and all of their assets are stored in the <code>Legacy\htdocs</code> folder within Flashpoint's directory (wherever you extracted it to). In Ultimate non-zipped games are stored in the same place <code>Legacy\htdocs</code>, zipped games are stored in <code>Games</code>. To find the files for a specific game, right-click the game entry in Flashpoint Launcher, then click "Open File Location."

'''Q: [[#SaveData|{{anchor|SaveData|Where is the games' save data kept? How can I delete it/transfer it to another computer/drive?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You can find the location where each platform keeps their save data in [[Save Data Locations]]. For your convenience, there are two batch scripts included in Flashpoint's <code>FPSoftware</code> folder which can be used to back up and restore save data to another computer or drive; Namely ''Saves Manager - Backup.bat'' and ''Saves Manager - Restore.bat''. If you want to delete save data you are going to have to find and delete it manually at the locations listed on the aforementioned page.

'''Q: [[#HappyWheels|{{anchor|HappyWheels|I want to play Happy Wheels! What should I download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' We have a few options:
* The Happy Wheels Demo is available in Flashpoint Infinity. The demo is missing the user levels and other extra content from the full version.
* The full version of Happy Wheels is included with Flashpoint Ultimate. It includes all user levels up to 2019-03-24.
* We also offer a standalone download called [https://archive.org/download/Happy_Wheels_Offline/Happy%20Wheels%201.1.zip Happy Wheels Offline]. It only includes user levels up to 2018-11-26, but it's only 8GB.

'''Q: [[#MoshiMonsters|{{anchor|MoshiMonsters|I want to play Moshi Monsters! What should I download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Moshi Monsters is available in [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint Ultimate and Infinity]. If you want a full, offline copy of Moshi Monsters but don't want to download Flashpoint Ultimate, you can download our [https://download.unstable.life/static/Moshi.7z standalone Moshi Monsters package].

==Troubleshooting==

'''Q: [[#WhiteScreenAndNoImages|{{anchor|WhiteScreenAndNoImages|I'm using Flashpoint Infinity, launching games always shows a blank white screen, and no logos and screenshots are loading! How do I fix this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow each of these steps and check to see if Flashpoint works properly after each one. If it still shows a white screen, try the next step.
# Follow the [[Troubleshooting Antivirus Interference|antivirus interference]] steps to prevent an antivirus such as Avast or AVG from interfering with Flashpoint.
# If Flashpoint still doesn't work, your router probably has internet filtering software installed that is blocking our Infinity server. A common one is McAfee Secure Home Platform; [https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/cp/home/articleview?locale=en_US&articleId=TS102694 here is how to disable it].
# If you cannot disable the filtering software, follow these steps to switch to our backup Infinity server:
#* In your Flashpoint folder, open the <code>Legacy</code> folder.
#* Find the <code>router_base_urls.txt</code> file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
#* Delete the line that starts with <code>Dri0m</code> and save the file.
# If Flashpoint still doesn't work, you might be experiencing a different problem. Follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#UltimateBrokenAfterUpdate|{{anchor|UltimateBrokenAfterUpdate|After I updated to Flashpoint 9.0 Ultimate using the updater, no games are working! Is there a fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Download [http://infinity.unstable.life/Flashpoint/Server/alpine.qcow2 this file].
# Replace the existing file in Flashpoint's <code>Server</code> folder with the file that you downloaded.

'''Q: [[#NotWorkingOffline|{{anchor|NotWorkingOffline|I disconnected from the internet and now games don't show up! How do I fix this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher, then uncheck the "On Demand Images" box. Then click "Save and Restart." When Flashpoint Launcher re-opens, the problem will be fixed.

'''Q: [[#LauncherNotOpening|{{anchor|LauncherNotOpening|When I double-click Flashpoint.exe, nothing happens! What can I do?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The first time you start Flashpoint Launcher, a bug may occur that prevents it from showing the window. If this happens, open Windows Task Manager, click the Details tab, and look for <code>Flashpoint.exe</code>. Then click "End Process", and double-click Flashpoint.exe again to see if it starts normally.

If the issue persists, or if the Launcher doesn't open ''after'' the first time you started it, look for a 0 KB <code>preferences.json</code> file in the same location as the "Start Flashpoint" shortcut. Delete <code>preferences.json</code> and try using the shortcut to open Flashpoint.

'''Q: [[#GameDeleted|{{anchor|GameDeleted|I accidentally deleted a game/animation from Flashpoint! How can I reset it?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below:
# [[#TransferPlaylists|Back up any playlists that you want to keep]].
# Get the appropriate database file for your edition of Flashpoint:
#* If you are using Flashpoint Ultimate, download the [http://infinity.unstable.life/Flashpoint/Data/flashpoint.sqlite database file]. Then open your copy of Flashpoint Ultimate and replace the <code>flashpoint.sqlite</code> file inside its <code>Data</code> folder with the file you downloaded.
#* If you are using Flashpoint Infinity, just re-extract it. [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Re-download it first] if you don't have the original file anymore.
# [[#TransferPlaylists|Restore any playlists that you backed up]].

'''Q: [[#GameDisappeared|{{anchor|GameDisappeared|I accidentally marked a game as <code>Broken (in Infinity)</code>, and it disappeared! How do I find it again?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow these steps:
# In your Flashpoint folder, open the <code>Launcher</code> folder.
# Open the <code>config.json</code> file in a text editor such as Notepad.
# Find the line that says <code>"showBrokenGames": false,</code> and change <code>false</code> to <code>true</code>.
# Save the file and restart Flashpoint.

'''Q: [[#ToggleSidebars|{{anchor|ToggleSidebars|I can't see the left (or right) sidebar of the launcher anymore! Where did it go?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the arrow buttons on the top-right corner of the launcher to toggle the left and right sidebars. --->
[[File:ShowHideSidebars.png]]

'''Q: [[#Logos|{{anchor|Logos|Why can't I see the games' logos/screenshots?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint Infinity does not come with the game logos by default due to size reasons. However, they can be downloaded on demand as you use Flashpoint. First, click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher and make sure the "On Demand Images" box is checked. Then switch to the ''Grid'' viewing mode using the drop-down menu at the bottom-right corner of the launcher window.

'''Q: [[#GameNotFound|{{anchor|GameNotFound|Why can I not find ''X'' game/animation in the launcher? Why do some games/animations not appear?}}]]'''

'''A:''' There are a few possibilities:

* Make sure you spelled the name of the game/animation correctly when searching. If a search fails, try searching for partial names rather than full names. Varying punctuation is also a common culprit. We are planning on overhauling the Search feature to allow for more customizable and dynamic browsing in the future, so stay tuned!
* If the game/animation has adult content, it might have been marked as Extreme, in which case you'll need to click the Config tab and enable Extreme Games before it will be visible.
* Make sure you don't have a playlist selected by accident; Searching in a playlist will look for the game ''in that playlist specifically''. So make sure you have ''All Games'' selected in the left-hand column before making your search.
* If you see the game on the [[Game Master List]] but don't see it in Flashpoint Infinity, then it might only be available in Flashpoint Ultimate. Follow [[#GameDisappeared|these steps]] to show broken games in Infinity, then search for the game again. If you see the game and the "Broken (in Infinity)" checkbox is checked, that means the game is only available in Flashpoint Ultimate.
* It's also possible that we don't have the game yet. If you wish to request a game or an animation to be added to Flashpoint, you can do so via the respective request forms that you can find in [[Game Master List]] and [[Animation Master List]]. Alternatively, if you want to ensure that the game/animation is added, you can learn how to ''curate'' it yourself by following our [[Curation Tutorial]]. '''In either case, please thoroughly search the master lists above to make sure that we don't have the game or animation already.'''

'''Q: [[#OpenTorrentFile|{{anchor|OpenTorrentFile|Why won't my Ultimate torrent open?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You will need a torrent client such as [https://www.qbittorrent.org/ qBittorrent] to open the .torrent file. The .torrent file tells your torrent client how to download Flashpoint Ultimate.

'''Q: [[#IATorrentBad|{{anchor|IATorrentBad|The torrent won't download, even though I'm using a torrent client! What's the problem?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Do '''not''' use the torrent from Archive.org! Because of the size of Flashpoint Ultimate, Archive.org will not seed its torrent. Instead, use the torrent link on [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Bluemaxima.org].

'''Q: [[#FlashpointNotWorking|{{anchor|FlashpointNotWorking|Why is Flashpoint not working after my download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Make sure you unzip the program, as it will not work while still zipped. Please use [https://www.7-zip.org 7-Zip] when doing this, as WinRAR is known to fail. If Flashpoint is still not working, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#Corrupted7ZFile|{{anchor|Corrupted7ZFile|When I try to open the Flashpoint Ultimate 7Z file with 7-Zip, it says "Cannot open as archive." What's the problem?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The download was probably corrupted. Browsers are not designed to download gigantic files like Flashpoint Ultimate, so you'll need to use a download manager such as [https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ Free Download Manager] to download the file.

'''Q: [[#CheckHash|{{anchor|CheckHash|How can I check whether Flashpoint Ultimate downloaded successfully?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You'll need to check whether the hash of the file you downloaded matches the expected hash. First, install [https://www.7-zip.org 7-Zip] if you don't have it already. Next, follow these steps:
# Right-click the 7Z file that you downloaded.
# Choose "CRC SHA...", then choose SHA1 or CRC32.
# Go to the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint downloads page] and click the button labeled "Archive.org" underneath the Flashpoint Ultimate heading. This should take you to Flashpoint Ultimate's Archive.org entry.
# Scroll down and find the "Download Options" sidebar on the right. Click the "Show All" link.
# Click the file ending in <code>_files.xml</code>. For example, on Flashpoint 6.3's page, the file is called <code>Flashpoint6.3_files.xml</code>.
# You should see a list of files in XML format. Check the hash listed for the file, and make sure it matches the hash you found in Step 2. For example, if you chose CRC32 in Step 2, make sure the CRC32 hashes are the same.

'''Q: [[#InfinityPartialDownloads|{{anchor|InfinityPartialDownloads|Most games are working, but when I try to open a specific game, I get an error like one of these:}}]]'''
* "The file __ is not a Director file."
* "Error launching Unity Player: bad file length"
* "Failed to initialize player's 3D settings"
* A stuck loading bar
* Partially loaded images, missing elements on a page or in a game, or other problems indicating file corruption

'''A:''' If you are using Flashpoint Infinity, it's very likely that Flashpoint Router failed to download a complete file. To solve the problem, follow these steps:
# Right-click the game that you are trying to play, then click "Open File Location."
# This will open a folder; delete all of the files there.
# Clear the cache by following [[#ClearWinINetCache|these steps]].
# Try launching the game again.
If the problem persists, try [[#UpdateRouter|updating Flashpoint Router]]. If that doesn't help, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#UpdateRouter|{{anchor|UpdateRouter|How do I update Flashpoint Router?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow these steps:
# Download this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlashpointProject/Flashpoint-Router/master/router.php
# Place the downloaded file in the <code>Legacy</code> folder of your Flashpoint folder, overwriting the original <code>router.php</code> file.

'''Q: [[#3DVIAAudioBug|{{anchor|3DVIAAudioBug|I am playing a 3DVIA Player webgame and the audio is loud and distorted, how do I fix it?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Your computer has a codec issue with MP3 playback. To resolve this:
# Install K-Lite Codec Pack if you do not already have it installed.
# Open Codec Tweak Tool from the Start Menu.
# In Codec Tweak Tool, go to Codec and Filter Management > Directshow (x86) and check the box for LAV Audio Decoder.
# Click Apply & Close to disable the filter.
# Exit Codec Tweak Tool.

'''Q: [[#ServerExited|{{anchor|ServerExited|Games are not working, and an error like this one appears constantly in the Launcher's logs:}}]]'''
Server exited with code 3221225781

'''A:''' First, make sure that you have installed all of the latest Windows Updates. Next, install the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55170 Microsoft .NET Framework] and the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable]. When you install the Visual C++ Redistributable, '''make sure to install the x86 version''', even if you're on a 64-bit machine!

'''Q: [[#LauncherBlackScreen|{{anchor|LauncherBlackScreen|When I open Flashpoint all I get is a black/grey screen. What should I do?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If your computer has an older graphics card, it may not support the launcher's hardware acceleration. To get around this, disable hardware acceleration by following these steps:

# In your main Flashpoint folder, select the <code>Start Flashpoint</code> shortcut by clicking it once.
# Press <code>Alt</code> + <code>Enter</code> to bring up its properties window.
# In the <code>Target</code> field, add a space at the very end of the field followed by <code>--disable-gpu</code>.
# Click OK
# Launch Flashpoint by double-clicking the <code>Start Flashpoint</code> shortcut.

Note that this change only affects the launcher itself, and shouldn't have any impact on its performance.

'''Q: [[#MarioBrosCrossoverIssue|{{anchor|MarioBrosCrossoverIssue|Most games are working, but when I launch a Flash game such as Super Mario Bros. Crossover, it crashes on a black screen! What's the fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Open your Flashpoint folder and navigate to the <code>Legacy\htdocs</code> folder.
# Delete the <code>data.explodingrabbit.com</code> folder.
# Clear the cache by following [[#ClearWinINetCache|these steps]].

'''Q: [[#UnityUpdatePlugin|{{anchor|UnityUpdatePlugin|Some Unity games ask to update the plugin and will not play the game! What's the fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Open your Flashpoint folder and navigate to the <code>FPSoftware\FlashpointSecurePlayerConfigs</code> folder.
# Extract [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/596548932373577750/802693500218114058/unitywebplayer.7z this file] into the folder, confirm to replace files.
# Restart Flashpoint.

==Work & Curation==

'''Q: [[#SubmitGame|{{anchor|SubmitGame|What is the difference between requesting and curating a game? Can I "submit" a game?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Requesting - This option adds your game to an ever-growing list of ones people want added. You will need to fill out the request form which takes 1-5 minutes. Chances of game being saved by any of the curators is small because there are thousands of games waiting on the list, some of which have been waiting for over a year. If you want to increase the chances of it being saved, we suggest that you try to write an engaging description of the game and/or the reason you want it saved.

Curating - This is the process of actually adding the game to Flashpoint. It requires testing the game using procedures detailed in our curation guides. It takes about 30 minutes to do the first time, but as you learn the process you can get it under 5 minutes.
To get started, follow our [[Curation Tutorial]].
Once you curate a game, it will be saved and added to the next version of Flashpoint.

If you'd like to learn more about the concept of digital curation, read [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_curation this article]. It explains the principles behind what we do.

'''Q: [[#MetadataEdits|{{anchor|MetadataEdits|How do I correct a problem with a game's metadata? Does editing the game in my copy of Flashpoint update it for everyone?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No, editing a game in your copy of Flashpoint does not update it for everyone. To get your change included in the next version of Flashpoint, follow the instructions in the [[Metadata Edits]] page.

'''Q: [[#ScrapeWebsites|{{anchor|ScrapeWebsites|What tools should I use to archive whole websites?}}]]'''

'''A:''' See [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|Helpful Tools]].

'''Q: [[#WhatPlatform|{{anchor|WhatPlatform|How do I tell what platform a game is?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The easiest way to check these kinds of things is to right-click the game window and look at the context menu that appears. If it says something about Flash, it's a Flash game. If it says nothing out of the ordinary or no context menu appeared, it's probably HTML5. See [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/509676268719964160/692059796957954079/unknown.png this image] for a summary.

You can also use Inspect Element to look at the embed of the game for the following file extensions:

.swf - Flash

.dcr/.dir/.dxr - Shockwave

.unity3d - Unity Web Player

.jar/.class - Java

.stk - ShiVa3D

.xap - Silverlight

.vmo - 3DVIA

If a game runs only in Internet Explorer, references a .cab file, and is not one of the above types of games, it is probably an ActiveX game.

If a game does not require any plugins or ActiveX controls to run, then it is probably an HTML5 (or HTML/JavaScript) game.

If it's something else it may be under one of our other platforms, but these are the most common types.

'''Q: [[#SubmitSWFs|{{anchor|SubmitSWFs|Where can I submit my collection of SWFs?}}]]'''

'''A:''' [http://bluepload.unstable.life/ This is our public upload location.]

It is highly encouraged that you first check the [[Game Master List]] and the [[Animation Master List]] for any game/animation that are already in Flashpoint and only upload ones that are not.

'''Q: [[#Decompiler|{{anchor|Decompiler|What is a good tool to decompile/hack SWF files (Flash games)?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The recommended program for this purpose is ''[https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler/releases JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler]''.

'''Q: [[#ClearWinINetCache|{{anchor|ClearWinINetCache|How do I clear the Flash projector's cache?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The Flash projectors use WinINet to perform network requests. Some other Flashpoint platforms, such as 3D Groove GX, also use WinINet. To clear the cache for these programs, follow these steps:
# Press Windows-R to open the Run box.
# Type the following, then press Enter: <code>RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8</code>
Note that for games that use the Basilisk browser, you will need to [[#ClearBasiliskCache|clear Basilisk's cache]] instead.

'''Q: [[#ClearBasiliskCache|{{anchor|ClearBasiliskCache|How do I clear the Basilisk browser's cache?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Open the Basilisk browser and follow these steps:
# Press the <code>Alt</code> key
# Click "History," then "Clear Recent History..."
# Change the time range to "Everything" using the dropdown menu, then check the boxes next to "Cache" and "Offline Website Data."
# Click "Clear Now."

'''Q: [[#AlternatePlatformCuration|{{anchor|AlternatePlatformCuration|I'm curating an HTML5 version of a Flash game that is already in Flashpoint (or the other way around). Should I submit it as alternate of Flashpoint's existing entry?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No, you will need to submit a new, separate curation. Currently, alternate versions of a game are required to be of the same [[Platforms|Platform (technology)]] as the main game entry.

'''Q: [[#cgibin|{{anchor|cgibin|My curation works fine in Flashpoint Core, but when I import it into Infinity, it doesn't work anymore! Is there a problem with my curation?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Probably not. For Infinity, files need to be placed in the <code>cgi-bin</code> folder, following the same structure as they would in the <code>htdocs</code> folder, if they meet one of these criteria:
* The file has a PHP, PHP5 or PHTML extension. These files are always loaded from cgi-bin.
* The file doesn't have one of these extensions, but does have a PHP script in it that you intend to run.

This restriction exists because it would be unsafe for Infinity to download and execute PHP on demand.

If your curation does not include any PHP scripts and it still isn't working, [[#ClearWinINetCache|clear the cache]] and try launching the game again.

'''Q: [[#cURLsDownloaderBug|{{anchor|cURLsDownloaderBug|After I type a URL or filename into the cURLsDownloader window, it immediately closes! Am I doing something wrong?}}]]'''

'''A:''' This bug is fixed in the latest version of cURLsDownloader. You can find the download link on the [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|Helpful Tools]] page.

'''Q: [[#NoTags|{{anchor|NoTags|I filled out tags for my curation, but after I exported it, I noticed that the tags are missing! Why did this happen?}}]]'''

'''A:''' To add a tag to your curation, first type it into the Tags box, then ''select'' it by either clicking it, or pressing the Tab key and hitting Enter when the tag is highlighted. '''If you type a tag without selecting it, it will not be added to your curation!'''

==Technical questions==

'''Q: [[#ActiveX|{{anchor|ActiveX|How does Flashpoint's ActiveX support work? What happens when an ActiveX control is registered?}}]]'''

'''A:''' [https://github.com/FlashpointProject/FlashpointSecureTools/tree/master/FlashpointSecurePlayer Flashpoint Secure Player] powers our ActiveX support. It provides a lightweight wrapper around Internet Explorer's engine, so it can load ActiveX controls just like Internet Explorer can. It has a significant advantage over Internet Explorer though: it allows us to use Internet Explorer's engine with Flashpoint but not change your Internet Explorer settings. It can load files through Flashpoint's proxy and load Flashpoint's ActiveX controls that do not work with Internet Explorer's default settings. In addition, Flashpoint Secure Player resets all changes that it makes to your system after it closes, meaning that ActiveX controls can be used without being permanently installed. All of the ActiveX controls supported by Flashpoint are included in the <code>FPSoftware\ActiveX</code> folder; no ActiveX controls are downloaded from the internet.

'''Q: [[#LaunchBox|{{anchor|LaunchBox|How can I add Flashpoint games to my LaunchBox collection?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You can use [https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/2652-obbys-flashpoint-importer-for-launchbox/ this tool] to import games and playlists from Flashpoint into LaunchBox.

Extended FAQ

2021-05-25T17:30:21Z

ThePowerPlayer: Added empty preferences.json workaround to the "LauncherNotOpening" heading

Be sure to check the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/faq/ main FAQ] if you don't see your question here, then ask in the #flashpoint-help channel of [http://discord.gg/S9uJ794 our Discord] if you are still not satisfied. If you are using an old version of Flashpoint, you might also want to read the [[Extended FAQ/Legacy|Legacy FAQ]].

Note that not all entries here have been updated to 10.0.

==General questions about the project==

'''Q: [[#WhyFlashpoint|{{anchor|WhyFlashpoint|Why do I need Flashpoint to play the games offline? Can't I just use a standalone player like the Flash Player projector to play them?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Many web games have what is known as a ''sitelock'', which means that they will not work unless they are being played on the original site they were hosted on. Since the projector is not connected to the Internet and cannot identify those sites, those games will refuse to load on it. Flashpoint gets around this by running the games through a ''local server proxy'' which, simply put, tricks them into thinking they are being played on the original sites they were meant to be played on. Moreover, web games are commonly spread across multiple files rather than just one; those are known as ''multi-asset'' games. Those games are less likely to run with just the projector on its own, but Flashpoint also deals with that. For more details, see [[How Flashpoint Works]].

'''Q: [[#ROM|{{anchor|ROM|Can I have a zip or ROM of a specific game? Can I download just the games I want?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint simulates the internet in order to make games think they are playing on their original websites (see the previous answer for a more detailed explanation of that). Since the files are laid out the same way as they would be on the internet, games are not separated cleanly into ZIPs or "ROMs." Flashpoint Infinity downloads games on demand, so you can keep only the games you like by using Flashpoint Infinity.

'''Q: [[#FlashEOL|{{anchor|FlashEOL|Will Flash games disappear from the Internet when December 2020 hits?}}]]'''

'''A:''' They won't disappear by themselves. However, once Flash support is removed from browsers, most people won't be able to use flash content unless they downgrade their browser version. In addition, they will have to downgrade their Flash version to one that does not contain the [[#FlashKillSwitch|kill switch]]. In that situation, the sites that are hosting the games might decide to remove the Flash games because the vast majority of people won't be able to play them anymore. As we cannot rely on the assumption that sites might stay up, we're working hard to grab as many games as possible while they're still here. For more information on the road map for Flash's End of Life, see [[Flash EOL]].

'''Q: [[#FlashKillSwitch|{{anchor|FlashKillSwitch|I heard that Flash Player will block all Flash content from running after 2020. Will Flashpoint also stop working?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No. Flashpoint will continue to work in 2021 and beyond. The Flash plugin and projectors that we use do not contain the "kill switch"; this was added in a later version of the plugin.

'''Q: [[#Antivirus|{{anchor|Antivirus|My antivirus flagged Flashpoint! Does Flashpoint have any viruses?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint does not have any viruses. However, a number of antivirus programs falsely detect certain files in Flashpoint as viruses. Avast, AVG, and BitDefender are even known to render Flashpoint inoperable; you'll need to follow the instructions for [[Troubleshooting Antivirus Interference]].

'''Q: [[#Legal|{{anchor|Legal|What is the legality of this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' "The only real answer is nobody knows and really, nobody should care. Games that more or less have a ticking clock until they die need to be saved now, as fast as possible."

''- BlueMaxima''

'''Q: [[#ArchivedWebsites|{{anchor|ArchivedWebsites|Where can I see what websites have been archived?}}]]'''

'''A:''' We are working on consolidating and listing all of our scrapes, but for now, there are several places to look.

* The [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r8I5hpSPCf_9JWECwa6c4E4tQZELd3cx Flashfreeze Google Drive folder] contains all of our early site scrapes, up to August 1, 2018.

* A few more site scrapes are available from [https://archive.org/details/2018_Flash_In_The_Pan_Core_Sample this Archive.org item] and [https://archive.org/details/@bluemaxima BlueMaxima's Archive.org account].

* We track the sites we're saving on [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AwpA21I1HLacnDdQ_lRIMs1Yo3VC1uqRBq-mnRV11JU/edit this spreadsheet]. If you'd like a site saved, just add it to the appropriate column of the sheet.

* The #flashfreeze channel on our Discord server also has some leftover rips people have gotten.

'''Q: [[#PlaySWF|{{anchor|PlaySWF|Can I use Flashpoint to play my own SWF or DCR files?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow our [[Curation Tutorial]] to add games to Flashpoint! Flashpoint comes with standalone projectors for Flash and Shockwave, and in some cases it will work to simply open an SWF with a Flash projector or open a DCR with a Director projector. But to ensure that games are preserved and work properly, you'll need to curate them.

'''Q: [[#HTML5|{{anchor|HTML5|Won't the games just be converted to HTML5?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No. HTML5 is an entirely different technology, so it's impossible for them to be converted automatically.
Developers could port them over to the platform, but most will not have the time or resources to do it. Besides, the capabilities of HTML5 are different from those of Flash, so a game ported to HTML5 will never be identical to the original.

'''Q: [[#Wayback|{{anchor|Wayback|Can't I use the Wayback Machine to play them?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The game has to be archived there in the first place, which may or may not happen. Wayback is specifically poor at grabbing multi-asset games (games that use more than one file), so chances are that it will not work there.
Games with sitelocks won't work there even if they are archived.

'''Q: [[#CheckTheMasterList|{{anchor|CheckTheMasterList|How do I check whether a game is in Flashpoint? I tried using the search bar on the Master List but nothing came up!}}]]'''

'''A:''' Open the [[Game Master List]] and wait for it to finish loading. (If you're looking for an animation, use the [[Animation Master List]] instead.) Then, press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>F</code> to search the list. Since this will search exact matches, be sure to try partial titles and account for alternative punctuation. If you're searching the Master List on iOS or Android, you can follow the instructions [https://www.groovypost.com/tips/find-words-web-page-safari-ios-chrome-android/ here]. You can also use our [https://nul.sh/misc/flashpoint/ new search tool] if you're having difficulty searching the list.

'''Q: [[#OnlineMultiplayer|{{anchor|OnlineMultiplayer|Are you able to add/support this game? It's based on Facebook/is online multi-player.}}]]'''

'''A:''' Probably not. To support always online games, the emulation of a server is required. To be able to do that is almost as much work as all of Flashpoint itself, so it really wouldn't be practical to put time into.

'''Q: [[#NoNitrome|{{anchor|NoNitrome|Where are my favorite Nitrome games?}}]]'''

'''A:''' All of Nitrome's games were removed from Flashpoint 8.0 at Nitrome's request. This is in accordance with our [http://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/faq/ removal policy]. If you disagree with Nitrome's decision, you may contact them and politely ask them to reconsider. ''Please do not harass or behave rudely towards Nitrome. They are within their rights to request removal; please respect that.''

'''Q: [[#ObjectionableContent|{{anchor|ObjectionableContent|Why is <questionable content> included in Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Web games, like any other form of art, have always been used as a medium for indie developers to exercise their freedom of expression. Often, this includes homophobic, racist, sexist, and other objectionable content. As a preservation project, Flashpoint aims to archive as much content as possible from this era. It will not play the role of gatekeeper so that future generations can see what these technologies were really used for. All of these works are a snapshot in time, and provide a window into what humans wanted to create at the turn of the century as the internet was in its infancy. You do not have to agree with nor enjoy said content. In order to responsibly provide the means to organize the vast collection that is Flashpoint, it's required to tag questionable content appropriately so that others may use search filters to exclude it from the rest.

'''Q: [[#NickRobinson|{{anchor|NickRobinson|I watched a video by Nick Robinson on YouTube which said that games in Flashpoint connect to the internet! Is this true?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The short answer is '''no''', this is not true. Games in Flashpoint never connect directly to the internet; they connect to Flashpoint's "fake internet," which is a proxy server running locally on your computer. If you are using Flashpoint '''Infinity''', this proxy server will connect to Flashpoint's server at <code>infinity.unstable.life</code> to download any files that are unavailable locally. Once the game files are downloaded, the game can be played offline. If you are using Flashpoint '''Ultimate''', an internet connection is never required to play games. See [[How Flashpoint Works]] for more information.

To address the specific claims in Nick Robinson's video: Mission in Snowdriftland has been fully archived in Flashpoint since 2019 and is fully playable offline in Flashpoint Infinity once the game files have been downloaded. We have tested this with all network adapters disabled via the Windows Control Panel. Nick Robinson used a third-party "internet killswitch" tool that may have interfered with Flashpoint in an unusual way. He did not speak to us before the publication of the video and did not report any issues with our software to us, but later corrected the claims in his video as a comment on the video's page.

==Setting up Flashpoint==

'''Q: [[#FlashpointEditions|{{anchor|FlashpointEditions|What version of Flashpoint should I get? What's the difference between Infinity and Ultimate?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have a lot of free disk space, bandwidth, and time, you should get Flashpoint Ultimate. But if you don't have a lot of free space, want to get Flashpoint up and running quickly, or only want to play a few games, you should get Flashpoint Infinity. See below for a detailed description of each edition of Flashpoint.
* '''Flashpoint Ultimate''': The full package. All games are fully playable offline. Also includes a logo and screenshot for each game. You'll need a few hundred gigabytes of free disk space - see the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint downloads page] for more details.
* '''Flashpoint Infinity''': A minimalist build - games download as you choose to play them. Once games are fully downloaded, they will work offline. Logos and screenshots for games are also downloadable on demand, but Extras are not available.
* '''Flashpoint Core''': A lightweight copy of Flashpoint with one game per platform to aid curation. '''For developers and curators only!'''

'''Q: [[#UpdateFlashpoint|{{anchor|UpdateFlashpoint|How do I update Flashpoint when a new version is released?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have Flashpoint Ultimate, you can use [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/#updater FlashpointUpdater]. There is no updater available for Flashpoint Infinity or Core yet; you'll need to download and extract the new version. You can transfer any playlists you'd like to keep to a new version of Flashpoint by following [[#TransferPlaylists|the instructions below]].

'''Q: [[#TransferPlaylists|{{anchor|TransferPlaylists|How do I move my playlists to a new version of Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If your '''old version''' of Flashpoint is '''8.1 or above''', you'll need to export your playlists first:
# Open your old copy of Flashpoint. Click the appropriate tab, then click the playlist you want to keep.
# Click the "Export playlist to a file" button (this is the 2nd button from the left).
# Repeat the process for any other playlists that you want to save.

To import your playlist files into your new copy of Flashpoint, follow these steps:
# Make sure you've closed your old copy of Flashpoint, then open the new one.
# If you are transferring a Games playlist, click the Games tab of the launcher. If you are transferring an Animations playlist, click the Animations tab.
# Scroll down to the bottom of the left sidebar, then click the "Import Playlist" button.
# Navigate to the folder where your old playlists are stored.
#* If your old version of Flashpoint is '''8.0 or below''', your playlist files will be located inside its <code>Data\Playlists</code> folder.
#* Otherwise, your playlist files will be located in the folder where you exported them.
# Double-click a playlist (JSON file) to import it. Repeat the process for any other playlists that you want to import.

'''Q: [[#UninstallFlashpoint|{{anchor|UninstallFlashpoint|How do I uninstall Flashpoint from my computer?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint being a fully portable application, it can be uninstalled by simply deleting its main folder.

'''Q: [[#DownloadUltimate|{{anchor|DownloadUltimate|What's the best way to download Flashpoint Ultimate?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you're updating to a new version or you're low on disk space, we recommend using [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/#updater FlashpointUpdater]. In addition to updating an existing copy, it can also be used to download a full copy of Flashpoint Ultimate by pointing it at an empty folder. This lets you avoid downloading and extracting a 7Z file, saving a lot of disk space.

If you want the download to be as quick as possible, we recommend using the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ torrent]. It will be faster, but it comes in the form of a large 7Z file. That means you'll need sufficient free disk space both to download and extract it.

'''Q: [[#Linux|{{anchor|Linux|Can I use Flashpoint on Linux?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Yes, although not all platforms and features are supported. See [[Linux Support]].

'''Q: [[#Mac|{{anchor|Mac|Can I use Flashpoint on Mac?}}]]'''

'''A:''' A heavily experimental Flashpoint package is available for MacOS. See [[Mac Support]].

'''Q: [[#LauncherShortcut|{{anchor|LauncherShortcut|How do I create a shortcut to Flashpoint on my desktop/taskbar/start menu?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Go into the <code>Launcher</code> folder that's inside your Flashpoint directory and look for <code>Flashpoint.exe</code>. Right-click it and click <code>Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>, or drag it to your taskbar or start menu. '''CAUTION: Do NOT drag <code>Flashpoint.exe</code> directly to your desktop as that will move the file, which will make the launcher not work.'''

'''Q: [[#GameShortcut|{{anchor|GameShortcut|How do I create a shortcut to a specific game/animation in Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' This feature is planned for Flashpoint Launcher, but for now, you'll need to download two separate tools. Follow the steps below:
# Download the [https://github.com/oblivioncth/CLIFp/releases/latest latest release of CLIFp].
# Extract the ZIP file and move <code>CLIFp.exe</code> into your Flashpoint folder.
# Download [https://github.com/maichiu/FlashpointShortcutMaker/archive/main.zip Flashpoint Shortcut Maker].
# Extract the ZIP file and move <code>FlashpointShortcutMaker.vbs</code> into your Flashpoint folder.
Now that you have CLIFp and Flashpoint Shortcut Maker set up, follow the steps below to create a shortcut:
# Open Flashpoint Launcher and find the game/animation that you want to create a shortcut for.
# Right-click the game/animation and click "Copy Game UUID".
# Double-click FlashpointShortcutMaker.vbs.
# Type a name for your shortcut, then click OK. Do not use invalid filename characters such as slashes <code>/ \</code> or question marks <code>?</code>.
# Paste the UUID of the game/animation that you copied in step 2. Click OK, and the shortcut will appear on your desktop!

'''Q: [[#Fullscreen|{{anchor|Fullscreen|Can I play the games in fullscreen? Can I make them bigger?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The answer depends on the type of game you're playing. See below:
* For Flash games that open in the Flash projector, you can drag the corner of the window to resize it. Do your best to maintain the window's original aspect ratio, otherwise some games might behave in unexpected ways.
* For Flash, Shockwave, and Java games, you can play them in fullscreen using [http://tanalin.com/en/projects/integer-scaler/ IntegerScaler]. However, this program doesn't play well with multi-monitor setups.
* For most games that open in a browser, you can press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>+</code> and <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>-</code> (Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus) to zoom in and out. In most cases, fullscreen is not possible for these games.
* Another option for Shockwave is to use SPRS, a version of the Shockwave projector that runs the games in fullscreen. Though keep in mind that this feature is experimental and has only been tested with a handful of games, therefore it may not work well with all games.

To use SPRS:

# Click the pencil icon on the upper right of the game info section for the game you want to play in fullscreen (if you don't see the icon, enable editing on the <code>Config</code> tab).
# Scroll down to the field labeled <code>Application Path</code> and change <code>SPR.exe</code> to <code>SPRS.exe</code>.
# Click the checkmark button at the top to confirm.
# Launch the game.

To close the game, press <code>Esc</code> (or alternatively, <code>Alt</code> + <code>F4</code>).

'''Q: [[#RecentGames|{{anchor|RecentGames|Can I view a list of my recently played games?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint does not track your recently played games by default, but you can install the [https://github.com/LeShaps/FPL-History FPL History] extension to add this functionality. See the [[Launcher Extensions]] page for more information.

'''Q: [[#EnableEditing|{{anchor|EnableEditing|How do I edit a game or playlist in my copy of Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher, then check the "Enable Editing" box. Then click "Save and Restart." When Flashpoint Launcher re-opens, you'll notice the following changes:
* Dragging a game onto a playlist in the left sidebar will add the game to the playlist.
* Clicking the pencil button on the right sidebar will allow you to edit a game entry.
* Double-clicking the trash icon will allow you to delete a game or playlist.
* When a playlist is selected, double-clicking the X button on the right sidebar will remove the currently selected game from the playlist.

'''Q: [[#GameAssets|{{anchor|GameAssets|Where are the games stored?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have Infinity 9.0 or higher the games and all of their assets are stored in the <code>Legacy\htdocs</code> folder within Flashpoint's directory (wherever you extracted it to). In Ultimate non-zipped games are stored in the same place <code>Legacy\htdocs</code>, zipped games are stored in <code>Games</code>. To find the files for a specific game, right-click the game entry in Flashpoint Launcher, then click "Open File Location."

'''Q: [[#SaveData|{{anchor|SaveData|Where is the games' save data kept? How can I delete it/transfer it to another computer/drive?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You can find the location where each platform keeps their save data in [[Save Data Locations]]. For your convenience, there are two batch scripts included in Flashpoint's <code>FPSoftware</code> folder which can be used to back up and restore save data to another computer or drive; Namely ''Saves Manager - Backup.bat'' and ''Saves Manager - Restore.bat''. If you want to delete save data you are going to have to find and delete it manually at the locations listed on the aforementioned page.

'''Q: [[#HappyWheels|{{anchor|HappyWheels|I want to play Happy Wheels! What should I download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' We have a few options:
* The Happy Wheels Demo is available in Flashpoint Infinity. The demo is missing the user levels and other extra content from the full version.
* The full version of Happy Wheels is included with Flashpoint Ultimate. It includes all user levels up to 2019-03-24.
* We also offer a standalone download called [https://archive.org/download/Happy_Wheels_Offline/Happy%20Wheels%201.1.zip Happy Wheels Offline]. It only includes user levels up to 2018-11-26, but it's only 8GB.

'''Q: [[#MoshiMonsters|{{anchor|MoshiMonsters|I want to play Moshi Monsters! What should I download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Moshi Monsters is available in [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint Ultimate and Infinity]. If you want a full, offline copy of Moshi Monsters but don't want to download Flashpoint Ultimate, you can download our [https://download.unstable.life/static/Moshi.7z standalone Moshi Monsters package].

==Troubleshooting==

'''Q: [[#WhiteScreenAndNoImages|{{anchor|WhiteScreenAndNoImages|I'm using Flashpoint Infinity, launching games always shows a blank white screen, and no logos and screenshots are loading! How do I fix this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow each of these steps and check to see if Flashpoint works properly after each one. If it still shows a white screen, try the next step.
# Follow the [[Troubleshooting Antivirus Interference|antivirus interference]] steps to prevent an antivirus such as Avast or AVG from interfering with Flashpoint.
# If Flashpoint still doesn't work, your router probably has internet filtering software installed that is blocking our Infinity server. A common one is McAfee Secure Home Platform; [https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/cp/home/articleview?locale=en_US&articleId=TS102694 here is how to disable it].
# If you cannot disable the filtering software, follow these steps to switch to our backup Infinity server:
#* In your Flashpoint folder, open the <code>Legacy</code> folder.
#* Find the <code>router_base_urls.txt</code> file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
#* Delete the line that starts with <code>Dri0m</code> and save the file.
# If Flashpoint still doesn't work, you might be experiencing a different problem. Follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#UltimateBrokenAfterUpdate|{{anchor|UltimateBrokenAfterUpdate|After I updated to Flashpoint 9.0 Ultimate using the updater, no games are working! Is there a fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Download [http://infinity.unstable.life/Flashpoint/Server/alpine.qcow2 this file].
# Replace the existing file in Flashpoint's <code>Server</code> folder with the file that you downloaded.

'''Q: [[#NotWorkingOffline|{{anchor|NotWorkingOffline|I disconnected from the internet and now games don't show up! How do I fix this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher, then uncheck the "On Demand Images" box. Then click "Save and Restart." When Flashpoint Launcher re-opens, the problem will be fixed.

'''Q: [[#LauncherNotOpening|{{anchor|LauncherNotOpening|When I double-click Flashpoint.exe, nothing happens! What can I do?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The first time you start Flashpoint Launcher, a bug may occur that prevents it from showing the window. If this happens, open Windows Task Manager, click the Details tab, and look for <code>Flashpoint.exe</code>. Then click "End Process", and double-click Flashpoint.exe again to see if it starts normally.
If the issue persists, look for a 0 KB <code>preferences.json</code> file in the same location as the "Start Flashpoint" shortcut. Delete <code>preferences.json</code> and try using the shortcut to open Flashpoint.

'''Q: [[#GameDeleted|{{anchor|GameDeleted|I accidentally deleted a game/animation from Flashpoint! How can I reset it?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below:
# [[#TransferPlaylists|Back up any playlists that you want to keep]].
# Get the appropriate database file for your edition of Flashpoint:
#* If you are using Flashpoint Ultimate, download the [http://infinity.unstable.life/Flashpoint/Data/flashpoint.sqlite database file]. Then open your copy of Flashpoint Ultimate and replace the <code>flashpoint.sqlite</code> file inside its <code>Data</code> folder with the file you downloaded.
#* If you are using Flashpoint Infinity, just re-extract it. [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Re-download it first] if you don't have the original file anymore.
# [[#TransferPlaylists|Restore any playlists that you backed up]].

'''Q: [[#GameDisappeared|{{anchor|GameDisappeared|I accidentally marked a game as <code>Broken (in Infinity)</code>, and it disappeared! How do I find it again?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow these steps:
# In your Flashpoint folder, open the <code>Launcher</code> folder.
# Open the <code>config.json</code> file in a text editor such as Notepad.
# Find the line that says <code>"showBrokenGames": false,</code> and change <code>false</code> to <code>true</code>.
# Save the file and restart Flashpoint.

'''Q: [[#ToggleSidebars|{{anchor|ToggleSidebars|I can't see the left (or right) sidebar of the launcher anymore! Where did it go?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the arrow buttons on the top-right corner of the launcher to toggle the left and right sidebars. --->
[[File:ShowHideSidebars.png]]

'''Q: [[#Logos|{{anchor|Logos|Why can't I see the games' logos/screenshots?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint Infinity does not come with the game logos by default due to size reasons. However, they can be downloaded on demand as you use Flashpoint. First, click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher and make sure the "On Demand Images" box is checked. Then switch to the ''Grid'' viewing mode using the drop-down menu at the bottom-right corner of the launcher window.

'''Q: [[#GameNotFound|{{anchor|GameNotFound|Why can I not find ''X'' game/animation in the launcher? Why do some games/animations not appear?}}]]'''

'''A:''' There are a few possibilities:

* Make sure you spelled the name of the game/animation correctly when searching. If a search fails, try searching for partial names rather than full names. Varying punctuation is also a common culprit. We are planning on overhauling the Search feature to allow for more customizable and dynamic browsing in the future, so stay tuned!
* If the game/animation has adult content, it might have been marked as Extreme, in which case you'll need to click the Config tab and enable Extreme Games before it will be visible.
* Make sure you don't have a playlist selected by accident; Searching in a playlist will look for the game ''in that playlist specifically''. So make sure you have ''All Games'' selected in the left-hand column before making your search.
* If you see the game on the [[Game Master List]] but don't see it in Flashpoint Infinity, then it might only be available in Flashpoint Ultimate. Follow [[#GameDisappeared|these steps]] to show broken games in Infinity, then search for the game again. If you see the game and the "Broken (in Infinity)" checkbox is checked, that means the game is only available in Flashpoint Ultimate.
* It's also possible that we don't have the game yet. If you wish to request a game or an animation to be added to Flashpoint, you can do so via the respective request forms that you can find in [[Game Master List]] and [[Animation Master List]]. Alternatively, if you want to ensure that the game/animation is added, you can learn how to ''curate'' it yourself by following our [[Curation Tutorial]]. '''In either case, please thoroughly search the master lists above to make sure that we don't have the game or animation already.'''

'''Q: [[#OpenTorrentFile|{{anchor|OpenTorrentFile|Why won't my Ultimate torrent open?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You will need a torrent client such as [https://www.qbittorrent.org/ qBittorrent] to open the .torrent file. The .torrent file tells your torrent client how to download Flashpoint Ultimate.

'''Q: [[#IATorrentBad|{{anchor|IATorrentBad|The torrent won't download, even though I'm using a torrent client! What's the problem?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Do '''not''' use the torrent from Archive.org! Because of the size of Flashpoint Ultimate, Archive.org will not seed its torrent. Instead, use the torrent link on [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Bluemaxima.org].

'''Q: [[#FlashpointNotWorking|{{anchor|FlashpointNotWorking|Why is Flashpoint not working after my download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Make sure you unzip the program, as it will not work while still zipped. Please use [https://www.7-zip.org 7-Zip] when doing this, as WinRAR is known to fail. If Flashpoint is still not working, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#Corrupted7ZFile|{{anchor|Corrupted7ZFile|When I try to open the Flashpoint Ultimate 7Z file with 7-Zip, it says "Cannot open as archive." What's the problem?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The download was probably corrupted. Browsers are not designed to download gigantic files like Flashpoint Ultimate, so you'll need to use a download manager such as [https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ Free Download Manager] to download the file.

'''Q: [[#CheckHash|{{anchor|CheckHash|How can I check whether Flashpoint Ultimate downloaded successfully?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You'll need to check whether the hash of the file you downloaded matches the expected hash. First, install [https://www.7-zip.org 7-Zip] if you don't have it already. Next, follow these steps:
# Right-click the 7Z file that you downloaded.
# Choose "CRC SHA...", then choose SHA1 or CRC32.
# Go to the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint downloads page] and click the button labeled "Archive.org" underneath the Flashpoint Ultimate heading. This should take you to Flashpoint Ultimate's Archive.org entry.
# Scroll down and find the "Download Options" sidebar on the right. Click the "Show All" link.
# Click the file ending in <code>_files.xml</code>. For example, on Flashpoint 6.3's page, the file is called <code>Flashpoint6.3_files.xml</code>.
# You should see a list of files in XML format. Check the hash listed for the file, and make sure it matches the hash you found in Step 2. For example, if you chose CRC32 in Step 2, make sure the CRC32 hashes are the same.

'''Q: [[#InfinityPartialDownloads|{{anchor|InfinityPartialDownloads|Most games are working, but when I try to open a specific game, I get an error like one of these:}}]]'''
* "The file __ is not a Director file."
* "Error launching Unity Player: bad file length"
* "Failed to initialize player's 3D settings"
* A stuck loading bar
* Partially loaded images, missing elements on a page or in a game, or other problems indicating file corruption

'''A:''' If you are using Flashpoint Infinity, it's very likely that Flashpoint Router failed to download a complete file. To solve the problem, follow these steps:
# Right-click the game that you are trying to play, then click "Open File Location."
# This will open a folder; delete all of the files there.
# Clear the cache by following [[#ClearWinINetCache|these steps]].
# Try launching the game again.
If the problem persists, try [[#UpdateRouter|updating Flashpoint Router]]. If that doesn't help, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#UpdateRouter|{{anchor|UpdateRouter|How do I update Flashpoint Router?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow these steps:
# Download this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlashpointProject/Flashpoint-Router/master/router.php
# Place the downloaded file in the <code>Legacy</code> folder of your Flashpoint folder, overwriting the original <code>router.php</code> file.

'''Q: [[#3DVIAAudioBug|{{anchor|3DVIAAudioBug|I am playing a 3DVIA Player webgame and the audio is loud and distorted, how do I fix it?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Your computer has a codec issue with MP3 playback. To resolve this:
# Install K-Lite Codec Pack if you do not already have it installed.
# Open Codec Tweak Tool from the Start Menu.
# In Codec Tweak Tool, go to Codec and Filter Management > Directshow (x86) and check the box for LAV Audio Decoder.
# Click Apply & Close to disable the filter.
# Exit Codec Tweak Tool.

'''Q: [[#ServerExited|{{anchor|ServerExited|Games are not working, and an error like this one appears constantly in the Launcher's logs:}}]]'''
Server exited with code 3221225781

'''A:''' First, make sure that you have installed all of the latest Windows Updates. Next, install the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55170 Microsoft .NET Framework] and the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable]. When you install the Visual C++ Redistributable, '''make sure to install the x86 version''', even if you're on a 64-bit machine!

'''Q: [[#LauncherBlackScreen|{{anchor|LauncherBlackScreen|When I open Flashpoint all I get is a black/grey screen. What should I do?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If your computer has an older graphics card, it may not support the launcher's hardware acceleration. To get around this, disable hardware acceleration by following these steps:

# In your main Flashpoint folder, select the <code>Start Flashpoint</code> shortcut by clicking it once.
# Press <code>Alt</code> + <code>Enter</code> to bring up its properties window.
# In the <code>Target</code> field, add a space at the very end of the field followed by <code>--disable-gpu</code>.
# Click OK
# Launch Flashpoint by double-clicking the <code>Start Flashpoint</code> shortcut.

Note that this change only affects the launcher itself, and shouldn't have any impact on its performance.

'''Q: [[#MarioBrosCrossoverIssue|{{anchor|MarioBrosCrossoverIssue|Most games are working, but when I launch a Flash game such as Super Mario Bros. Crossover, it crashes on a black screen! What's the fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Open your Flashpoint folder and navigate to the <code>Legacy\htdocs</code> folder.
# Delete the <code>data.explodingrabbit.com</code> folder.
# Clear the cache by following [[#ClearWinINetCache|these steps]].

'''Q: [[#UnityUpdatePlugin|{{anchor|UnityUpdatePlugin|Some Unity games ask to update the plugin and will not play the game! What's the fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Open your Flashpoint folder and navigate to the <code>FPSoftware\FlashpointSecurePlayerConfigs</code> folder.
# Extract [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/596548932373577750/802693500218114058/unitywebplayer.7z this file] into the folder, confirm to replace files.
# Restart Flashpoint.

==Work & Curation==

'''Q: [[#SubmitGame|{{anchor|SubmitGame|What is the difference between requesting and curating a game? Can I "submit" a game?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Requesting - This option adds your game to an ever-growing list of ones people want added. You will need to fill out the request form which takes 1-5 minutes. Chances of game being saved by any of the curators is small because there are thousands of games waiting on the list, some of which have been waiting for over a year. If you want to increase the chances of it being saved, we suggest that you try to write an engaging description of the game and/or the reason you want it saved.

Curating - This is the process of actually adding the game to Flashpoint. It requires testing the game using procedures detailed in our curation guides. It takes about 30 minutes to do the first time, but as you learn the process you can get it under 5 minutes.
To get started, follow our [[Curation Tutorial]].
Once you curate a game, it will be saved and added to the next version of Flashpoint.

If you'd like to learn more about the concept of digital curation, read [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_curation this article]. It explains the principles behind what we do.

'''Q: [[#MetadataEdits|{{anchor|MetadataEdits|How do I correct a problem with a game's metadata? Does editing the game in my copy of Flashpoint update it for everyone?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No, editing a game in your copy of Flashpoint does not update it for everyone. To get your change included in the next version of Flashpoint, follow the instructions in the [[Metadata Edits]] page.

'''Q: [[#ScrapeWebsites|{{anchor|ScrapeWebsites|What tools should I use to archive whole websites?}}]]'''

'''A:''' See [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|Helpful Tools]].

'''Q: [[#WhatPlatform|{{anchor|WhatPlatform|How do I tell what platform a game is?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The easiest way to check these kinds of things is to right-click the game window and look at the context menu that appears. If it says something about Flash, it's a Flash game. If it says nothing out of the ordinary or no context menu appeared, it's probably HTML5. See [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/509676268719964160/692059796957954079/unknown.png this image] for a summary.

You can also use Inspect Element to look at the embed of the game for the following file extensions:

.swf - Flash

.dcr/.dir/.dxr - Shockwave

.unity3d - Unity Web Player

.jar/.class - Java

.stk - ShiVa3D

.xap - Silverlight

.vmo - 3DVIA

If a game runs only in Internet Explorer, references a .cab file, and is not one of the above types of games, it is probably an ActiveX game.

If a game does not require any plugins or ActiveX controls to run, then it is probably an HTML5 (or HTML/JavaScript) game.

If it's something else it may be under one of our other platforms, but these are the most common types.

'''Q: [[#SubmitSWFs|{{anchor|SubmitSWFs|Where can I submit my collection of SWFs?}}]]'''

'''A:''' [http://bluepload.unstable.life/ This is our public upload location.]

It is highly encouraged that you first check the [[Game Master List]] and the [[Animation Master List]] for any game/animation that are already in Flashpoint and only upload ones that are not.

'''Q: [[#Decompiler|{{anchor|Decompiler|What is a good tool to decompile/hack SWF files (Flash games)?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The recommended program for this purpose is ''[https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler/releases JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler]''.

'''Q: [[#ClearWinINetCache|{{anchor|ClearWinINetCache|How do I clear the Flash projector's cache?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The Flash projectors use WinINet to perform network requests. Some other Flashpoint platforms, such as 3D Groove GX, also use WinINet. To clear the cache for these programs, follow these steps:
# Press Windows-R to open the Run box.
# Type the following, then press Enter: <code>RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8</code>
Note that for games that use the Basilisk browser, you will need to [[#ClearBasiliskCache|clear Basilisk's cache]] instead.

'''Q: [[#ClearBasiliskCache|{{anchor|ClearBasiliskCache|How do I clear the Basilisk browser's cache?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Open the Basilisk browser and follow these steps:
# Press the <code>Alt</code> key
# Click "History," then "Clear Recent History..."
# Change the time range to "Everything" using the dropdown menu, then check the boxes next to "Cache" and "Offline Website Data."
# Click "Clear Now."

'''Q: [[#AlternatePlatformCuration|{{anchor|AlternatePlatformCuration|I'm curating an HTML5 version of a Flash game that is already in Flashpoint (or the other way around). Should I submit it as alternate of Flashpoint's existing entry?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No, you will need to submit a new, separate curation. Currently, alternate versions of a game are required to be of the same [[Platforms|Platform (technology)]] as the main game entry.

'''Q: [[#cgibin|{{anchor|cgibin|My curation works fine in Flashpoint Core, but when I import it into Infinity, it doesn't work anymore! Is there a problem with my curation?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Probably not. For Infinity, files need to be placed in the <code>cgi-bin</code> folder, following the same structure as they would in the <code>htdocs</code> folder, if they meet one of these criteria:
* The file has a PHP, PHP5 or PHTML extension. These files are always loaded from cgi-bin.
* The file doesn't have one of these extensions, but does have a PHP script in it that you intend to run.

This restriction exists because it would be unsafe for Infinity to download and execute PHP on demand.

If your curation does not include any PHP scripts and it still isn't working, [[#ClearWinINetCache|clear the cache]] and try launching the game again.

'''Q: [[#cURLsDownloaderBug|{{anchor|cURLsDownloaderBug|After I type a URL or filename into the cURLsDownloader window, it immediately closes! Am I doing something wrong?}}]]'''

'''A:''' This bug is fixed in the latest version of cURLsDownloader. You can find the download link on the [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|Helpful Tools]] page.

'''Q: [[#NoTags|{{anchor|NoTags|I filled out tags for my curation, but after I exported it, I noticed that the tags are missing! Why did this happen?}}]]'''

'''A:''' To add a tag to your curation, first type it into the Tags box, then ''select'' it by either clicking it, or pressing the Tab key and hitting Enter when the tag is highlighted. '''If you type a tag without selecting it, it will not be added to your curation!'''

==Technical questions==

'''Q: [[#ActiveX|{{anchor|ActiveX|How does Flashpoint's ActiveX support work? What happens when an ActiveX control is registered?}}]]'''

'''A:''' [https://github.com/FlashpointProject/FlashpointSecureTools/tree/master/FlashpointSecurePlayer Flashpoint Secure Player] powers our ActiveX support. It provides a lightweight wrapper around Internet Explorer's engine, so it can load ActiveX controls just like Internet Explorer can. It has a significant advantage over Internet Explorer though: it allows us to use Internet Explorer's engine with Flashpoint but not change your Internet Explorer settings. It can load files through Flashpoint's proxy and load Flashpoint's ActiveX controls that do not work with Internet Explorer's default settings. In addition, Flashpoint Secure Player resets all changes that it makes to your system after it closes, meaning that ActiveX controls can be used without being permanently installed. All of the ActiveX controls supported by Flashpoint are included in the <code>FPSoftware\ActiveX</code> folder; no ActiveX controls are downloaded from the internet.

'''Q: [[#LaunchBox|{{anchor|LaunchBox|How can I add Flashpoint games to my LaunchBox collection?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You can use [https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/2652-obbys-flashpoint-importer-for-launchbox/ this tool] to import games and playlists from Flashpoint into LaunchBox.

ThePowerPlayer: Added Gundam franchise tag

Tags are used to classify and organize games in Flashpoint for easier searching. Here, they have been organised into categories. You may use multiple tags per game, and you can use any of the category headers from ''Action'' to ''Other'' and ''Game Jam'' as tags too. Tags can be applied to either games or animations, but the most common [[#Animations|Animation tags]] are listed in their own section for your convenience. If there is a tag that you feel would be useful, please ask a Staff Member on the Discord server, and we'll see if it's something that should be added. We don't want tags to be too specific, to the point where a tag exists solely for one game.

== Franchises ==

Tags that are associated with a particular franchise or intellectual property, web-game related or not. Note: A game or animation does not need to be ''officially'' part of a franchise for its tag to be applicable. In other words, fan-made games and animations based on a particular franchise can still use their respective franchise tag even if they weren't developed/published by the owners of the IP. At least three games in Flashpoint should be based around a franchise to warrant a tag for that franchise.

== Game Engines ==

Game Engines are any programming tool used to make games at a Higher Level than using the tech directly. Note: Techs don't count as Game Engines, for example the ShiVa3D Engine is used to make ShiVa3D plugin games but ShiVa3D games shouldn't be tagged. Also if the engine has a web client, it shouldn't be tagged as that Engine, for example Tic80 shouldn't be tagged Tic80. At least three games in Flashpoint should be created in an engine to warrant a tag for that engine.

Extended FAQ

2021-05-07T13:53:28Z

ThePowerPlayer: Clarified white screen troubleshooting steps

Be sure to check the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/faq/ main FAQ] if you don't see your question here, then ask in the #flashpoint-help channel of [http://discord.gg/S9uJ794 our Discord] if you are still not satisfied. If you are using an old version of Flashpoint, you might also want to read the [[Extended FAQ/Legacy|Legacy FAQ]].

==General questions about the project==

'''Q: [[#WhyFlashpoint|{{anchor|WhyFlashpoint|Why do I need Flashpoint to play the games offline? Can't I just use a standalone player like the Flash Player projector to play them?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Many web games have what is known as a ''sitelock'', which means that they will not work unless they are being played on the original site they were hosted on. Since the projector is not connected to the Internet and cannot identify those sites, those games will refuse to load on it. Flashpoint gets around this by running the games through a ''local server proxy'' which, simply put, tricks them into thinking they are being played on the original sites they were meant to be played on. Moreover, web games are commonly spread across multiple files rather than just one; those are known as ''multi-asset'' games. Those games are less likely to run with just the projector on its own, but Flashpoint also deals with that. For more details, see [[How Flashpoint Works]].

'''Q: [[#ROM|{{anchor|ROM|Can I have a zip or ROM of a specific game? Can I download just the games I want?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint simulates the internet in order to make games think they are playing on their original websites (see the previous answer for a more detailed explanation of that). Since the files are laid out the same way as they would be on the internet, games are not separated cleanly into ZIPs or "ROMs." Flashpoint Infinity downloads games on demand, so you can keep only the games you like by using Flashpoint Infinity.

'''Q: [[#FlashEOL|{{anchor|FlashEOL|Will Flash games disappear from the Internet when December 2020 hits?}}]]'''

'''A:''' They won't disappear by themselves. However, once Flash support is removed from browsers, most people won't be able to use flash content unless they downgrade their browser version. In addition, they will have to downgrade their Flash version to one that does not contain the [[#FlashKillSwitch|kill switch]]. In that situation, the sites that are hosting the games might decide to remove the Flash games because the vast majority of people won't be able to play them anymore. As we cannot rely on the assumption that sites might stay up, we're working hard to grab as many games as possible while they're still here. For more information on the road map for Flash's End of Life, see [[Flash EOL]].

'''Q: [[#FlashKillSwitch|{{anchor|FlashKillSwitch|I heard that Flash Player will block all Flash content from running after 2020. Will Flashpoint also stop working?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No. Flashpoint will continue to work in 2021 and beyond. The Flash plugin and projectors that we use do not contain the "kill switch"; this was added in a later version of the plugin.

'''Q: [[#Antivirus|{{anchor|Antivirus|My antivirus flagged Flashpoint! Does Flashpoint have any viruses?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint does not have any viruses. However, a number of antivirus programs falsely detect certain files in Flashpoint as viruses. Avast, AVG, and BitDefender are even known to render Flashpoint inoperable; you'll need to follow the instructions for [[Troubleshooting Antivirus Interference]].

'''Q: [[#Legal|{{anchor|Legal|What is the legality of this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' "The only real answer is nobody knows and really, nobody should care. Games that more or less have a ticking clock until they die need to be saved now, as fast as possible."

''- BlueMaxima''

'''Q: [[#ArchivedWebsites|{{anchor|ArchivedWebsites|Where can I see what websites have been archived?}}]]'''

'''A:''' We are working on consolidating and listing all of our scrapes, but for now, there are several places to look.

* The [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r8I5hpSPCf_9JWECwa6c4E4tQZELd3cx Flashfreeze Google Drive folder] contains all of our early site scrapes, up to August 1, 2018.

* A few more site scrapes are available from [https://archive.org/details/2018_Flash_In_The_Pan_Core_Sample this Archive.org item] and [https://archive.org/details/@bluemaxima BlueMaxima's Archive.org account].

* We track the sites we're saving on [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AwpA21I1HLacnDdQ_lRIMs1Yo3VC1uqRBq-mnRV11JU/edit this spreadsheet]. If you'd like a site saved, just add it to the appropriate column of the sheet.

* The #flashfreeze channel on our Discord server also has some leftover rips people have gotten.

'''Q: [[#PlaySWF|{{anchor|PlaySWF|Can I use Flashpoint to play my own SWF or DCR files?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow our [[Curation Tutorial]] to add games to Flashpoint! Flashpoint comes with standalone projectors for Flash and Shockwave, and in some cases it will work to simply open an SWF with a Flash projector or open a DCR with a Director projector. But to ensure that games are preserved and work properly, you'll need to curate them.

'''Q: [[#HTML5|{{anchor|HTML5|Won't the games just be converted to HTML5?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No. HTML5 is an entirely different technology, so it's impossible for them to be converted automatically.
Developers could port them over to the platform, but most will not have the time or resources to do it. Besides, the capabilities of HTML5 are different from those of Flash, so a game ported to HTML5 will never be identical to the original.

'''Q: [[#Wayback|{{anchor|Wayback|Can't I use the Wayback Machine to play them?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The game has to be archived there in the first place, which may or may not happen. Wayback is specifically poor at grabbing multi-asset games (games that use more than one file), so chances are that it will not work there.
Games with sitelocks won't work there even if they are archived.

'''Q: [[#CheckTheMasterList|{{anchor|CheckTheMasterList|How do I check whether a game is in Flashpoint? I tried using the search bar on the Master List but nothing came up!}}]]'''

'''A:''' Open the [[Game Master List]] and wait for it to finish loading. (If you're looking for an animation, use the [[Animation Master List]] instead.) Then, press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>F</code> to search the list. Since this will search exact matches, be sure to try partial titles and account for alternative punctuation. If you're searching the Master List on iOS or Android, you can follow the instructions [https://www.groovypost.com/tips/find-words-web-page-safari-ios-chrome-android/ here]. You can also use our [https://nul.sh/misc/flashpoint/ new search tool] if you're having difficulty searching the list.

'''Q: [[#OnlineMultiplayer|{{anchor|OnlineMultiplayer|Are you able to add/support this game? It's based on Facebook/is online multi-player.}}]]'''

'''A:''' Probably not. To support always online games, the emulation of a server is required. To be able to do that is almost as much work as all of Flashpoint itself, so it really wouldn't be practical to put time into.

'''Q: [[#NoNitrome|{{anchor|NoNitrome|Where are my favorite Nitrome games?}}]]'''

'''A:''' All of Nitrome's games were removed from Flashpoint 8.0 at Nitrome's request. This is in accordance with our [http://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/faq/ removal policy]. If you disagree with Nitrome's decision, you may contact them and politely ask them to reconsider. ''Please do not harass or behave rudely towards Nitrome. They are within their rights to request removal; please respect that.''

'''Q: [[#ObjectionableContent|{{anchor|ObjectionableContent|Why is <questionable content> included in Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Web games, like any other form of art, have always been used as a medium for indie developers to exercise their freedom of expression. Often, this includes homophobic, racist, sexist, and other objectionable content. As a preservation project, Flashpoint aims to archive as much content as possible from this era. It will not play the role of gatekeeper so that future generations can see what these technologies were really used for. All of these works are a snapshot in time, and provide a window into what humans wanted to create at the turn of the century as the internet was in its infancy. You do not have to agree with nor enjoy said content. In order to responsibly provide the means to organize the vast collection that is Flashpoint, it's required to tag questionable content appropriately so that others may use search filters to exclude it from the rest.

'''Q: [[#NickRobinson|{{anchor|NickRobinson|I watched a video by Nick Robinson on YouTube which said that games in Flashpoint connect to the internet! Is this true?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The short answer is '''no''', this is not true. Games in Flashpoint never connect directly to the internet; they connect to Flashpoint's "fake internet," which is a proxy server running locally on your computer. If you are using Flashpoint '''Infinity''', this proxy server will connect to Flashpoint's server at <code>infinity.unstable.life</code> to download any files that are unavailable locally. Once the game files are downloaded, the game can be played offline. If you are using Flashpoint '''Ultimate''', an internet connection is never required to play games. See [[How Flashpoint Works]] for more information.

To address the specific claims in Nick Robinson's video: Mission in Snowdriftland has been fully archived in Flashpoint since 2019 and is fully playable offline in Flashpoint Infinity once the game files have been downloaded. We have tested this with all network adapters disabled via the Windows Control Panel. Nick Robinson used a third-party "internet killswitch" tool that may have interfered with Flashpoint in an unusual way. He did not speak to us before the publication of the video and did not report any issues with our software to us, but later corrected the claims in his video as a comment on the video's page.

==Setting up Flashpoint==

'''Q: [[#FlashpointEditions|{{anchor|FlashpointEditions|What version of Flashpoint should I get? What's the difference between Infinity and Ultimate?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have a lot of free disk space, bandwidth, and time, you should get Flashpoint Ultimate. But if you don't have a lot of free space, want to get Flashpoint up and running quickly, or only want to play a few games, you should get Flashpoint Infinity. See below for a detailed description of each edition of Flashpoint.
* '''Flashpoint Ultimate''': The full package. All games are fully playable offline. Also includes a logo and screenshot for each game. You'll need a few hundred gigabytes of free disk space - see the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint downloads page] for more details.
* '''Flashpoint Infinity''': A minimalist build - games download as you choose to play them. Once games are fully downloaded, they will work offline. Logos and screenshots for games are also downloadable on demand, but Extras are not available.
* '''Flashpoint Core''': A lightweight copy of Flashpoint with one game per platform to aid curation. '''For developers and curators only!'''

'''Q: [[#UpdateFlashpoint|{{anchor|UpdateFlashpoint|How do I update Flashpoint when a new version is released?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have Flashpoint Ultimate, you can use [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/#updater FlashpointUpdater]. There is no updater available for Flashpoint Infinity or Core yet; you'll need to download and extract the new version. You can transfer any playlists you'd like to keep to a new version of Flashpoint by following [[#TransferPlaylists|the instructions below]].

'''Q: [[#TransferPlaylists|{{anchor|TransferPlaylists|How do I move my playlists to a new version of Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If your '''old version''' of Flashpoint is '''8.1 or above''', you'll need to export your playlists first:
# Open your old copy of Flashpoint. Click the appropriate tab, then click the playlist you want to keep.
# Click the "Export playlist to a file" button (this is the 2nd button from the left).
# Repeat the process for any other playlists that you want to save.

To import your playlist files into your new copy of Flashpoint, follow these steps:
# Make sure you've closed your old copy of Flashpoint, then open the new one.
# If you are transferring a Games playlist, click the Games tab of the launcher. If you are transferring an Animations playlist, click the Animations tab.
# Scroll down to the bottom of the left sidebar, then click the "Import Playlist" button.
# Navigate to the folder where your old playlists are stored.
#* If your old version of Flashpoint is '''8.0 or below''', your playlist files will be located inside its <code>Data\Playlists</code> folder.
#* Otherwise, your playlist files will be located in the folder where you exported them.
# Double-click a playlist (JSON file) to import it. Repeat the process for any other playlists that you want to import.

'''Q: [[#UninstallFlashpoint|{{anchor|UninstallFlashpoint|How do I uninstall Flashpoint from my computer?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint being a fully portable application, it can be uninstalled by simply deleting its main folder.

'''Q: [[#DownloadUltimate|{{anchor|DownloadUltimate|What's the best way to download Flashpoint Ultimate?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you're updating to a new version or you're low on disk space, we recommend using [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/#updater FlashpointUpdater]. In addition to updating an existing copy, it can also be used to download a full copy of Flashpoint Ultimate by pointing it at an empty folder. This lets you avoid downloading and extracting a 7Z file, saving a lot of disk space.

If you want the download to be as quick as possible, we recommend using the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ torrent]. It will be faster, but it comes in the form of a large 7Z file. That means you'll need sufficient free disk space both to download and extract it.

'''Q: [[#Linux|{{anchor|Linux|Can I use Flashpoint on Linux?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Yes, although not all platforms and features are supported. See [[Linux Support]].

'''Q: [[#Mac|{{anchor|Mac|Can I use Flashpoint on Mac?}}]]'''

'''A:''' A heavily experimental Flashpoint package is available for MacOS. See [[Mac Support]].

== Playing games ==

'''Q: [[#LauncherShortcut|{{anchor|LauncherShortcut|How do I create a shortcut to Flashpoint on my desktop/taskbar/start menu?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Go into the <code>Launcher</code> folder that's inside your Flashpoint directory and look for <code>Flashpoint.exe</code>. Right-click it and click <code>Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)</code>, or drag it to your taskbar or start menu. '''CAUTION: Do NOT drag <code>Flashpoint.exe</code> directly to your desktop as that will move the file, which will make the launcher not work.'''

'''Q: [[#GameShortcut|{{anchor|GameShortcut|How do I create a shortcut to a specific game/animation in Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' This feature is planned for Flashpoint Launcher, but for now, you'll need to download two separate tools. Follow the steps below:
# Download the [https://github.com/oblivioncth/CLIFp/releases/latest latest release of CLIFp].
# Extract the ZIP file and move <code>CLIFp.exe</code> into your Flashpoint folder.
# Download [https://github.com/maichiu/FlashpointShortcutMaker/archive/main.zip Flashpoint Shortcut Maker].
# Extract the ZIP file and move <code>FlashpointShortcutMaker.vbs</code> into your Flashpoint folder.
Now that you have CLIFp and Flashpoint Shortcut Maker set up, follow the steps below to create a shortcut:
# Open Flashpoint Launcher and find the game/animation that you want to create a shortcut for.
# Right-click the game/animation and click "Copy Game UUID".
# Double-click FlashpointShortcutMaker.vbs.
# Type a name for your shortcut, then click OK. Do not use invalid filename characters such as slashes <code>/ \</code> or question marks <code>?</code>.
# Paste the UUID of the game/animation that you copied in step 2. Click OK, and the shortcut will appear on your desktop!

'''Q: [[#Fullscreen|{{anchor|Fullscreen|Can I play the games in fullscreen? Can I make them bigger?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The answer depends on the type of game you're playing. See below:
* For Flash games that open in the Flash projector, you can drag the corner of the window to resize it. Do your best to maintain the window's original aspect ratio, otherwise some games might behave in unexpected ways.
* For Flash, Shockwave, and Java games, you can play them in fullscreen using [http://tanalin.com/en/projects/integer-scaler/ IntegerScaler]. However, this program doesn't play well with multi-monitor setups.
* For most games that open in a browser, you can press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>+</code> and <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>-</code> (Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus) to zoom in and out. In most cases, fullscreen is not possible for these games.
* Another option for Shockwave is to use SPRS, a version of the Shockwave projector that runs the games in fullscreen. Though keep in mind that this feature is experimental and has only been tested with a handful of games, therefore it may not work well with all games.

To use SPRS:

# Click the pencil icon on the upper right of the game info section for the game you want to play in fullscreen (if you don't see the icon, enable editing on the <code>Config</code> tab).
# Scroll down to the field labeled <code>Application Path</code> and change <code>SPR.exe</code> to <code>SPRS.exe</code>.
# Click the checkmark button at the top to confirm.
# Launch the game.

To close the game, press <code>Esc</code> (or alternatively, <code>Alt</code> + <code>F4</code>).

'''Q: [[#RecentGames|{{anchor|RecentGames|Can I view a list of my recently played games?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint does not track your recently played games by default, but you can install the [https://github.com/LeShaps/FPL-History FPL History] extension to add this functionality. See the [[Launcher Extensions]] page for more information.

'''Q: [[#EnableEditing|{{anchor|EnableEditing|How do I edit a game or playlist in my copy of Flashpoint?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher, then check the "Enable Editing" box. Then click "Save and Restart." When Flashpoint Launcher re-opens, you'll notice the following changes:
* Dragging a game onto a playlist in the left sidebar will add the game to the playlist.
* Clicking the pencil button on the right sidebar will allow you to edit a game entry.
* Double-clicking the trash icon will allow you to delete a game or playlist.
* When a playlist is selected, double-clicking the X button on the right sidebar will remove the currently selected game from the playlist.

'''Q: [[#GameAssets|{{anchor|GameAssets|Where are the games stored?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If you have Infinity 9.0 or higher the games and all of their assets are stored in the <code>Legacy\htdocs</code> folder within Flashpoint's directory (wherever you extracted it to). In Ultimate non-zipped games are stored in the same place <code>Legacy\htdocs</code>, zipped games are stored in <code>Games</code>. To find the files for a specific game, right-click the game entry in Flashpoint Launcher, then click "Open File Location."

'''Q: [[#SaveData|{{anchor|SaveData|Where is the games' save data kept? How can I delete it/transfer it to another computer/drive?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You can find the location where each platform keeps their save data in [[Save Data Locations]]. For your convenience, there are two batch scripts included in Flashpoint's <code>FPSoftware</code> folder which can be used to back up and restore save data to another computer or drive; Namely ''Saves Manager - Backup.bat'' and ''Saves Manager - Restore.bat''. If you want to delete save data you are going to have to find and delete it manually at the locations listed on the aforementioned page.

'''Q: [[#HappyWheels|{{anchor|HappyWheels|I want to play Happy Wheels! What should I download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' We have a few options:
* The Happy Wheels Demo is available in Flashpoint Infinity. The demo is missing the user levels and other extra content from the full version.
* The full version of Happy Wheels is included with Flashpoint Ultimate. It includes all user levels up to 2019-03-24.
* We also offer a standalone download called [https://archive.org/download/Happy_Wheels_Offline/Happy%20Wheels%201.1.zip Happy Wheels Offline]. It only includes user levels up to 2018-11-26, but it's only 8GB.

'''Q: [[#MoshiMonsters|{{anchor|MoshiMonsters|I want to play Moshi Monsters! What should I download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Moshi Monsters is available in [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint Ultimate and Infinity]. If you want a full, offline copy of Moshi Monsters but don't want to download Flashpoint Ultimate, you can download our [https://download.unstable.life/static/Moshi.7z standalone Moshi Monsters package].

==Troubleshooting==

'''Q: [[#WhiteScreenAndNoImages|{{anchor|WhiteScreenAndNoImages|I'm using Flashpoint Infinity, launching games always shows a blank white screen, and no logos and screenshots are loading! How do I fix this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow each of these steps and check to see if Flashpoint works properly after each one. If it still shows a white screen, try the next step.
# Follow the [[Troubleshooting Antivirus Interference|antivirus interference]] steps to prevent an antivirus such as Avast or AVG from interfering with Flashpoint.
# If Flashpoint still doesn't work, your router probably has internet filtering software installed that is blocking our Infinity server. A common one is McAfee Secure Home Platform; [https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/cp/home/articleview?locale=en_US&articleId=TS102694 here is how to disable it].
# If you cannot disable the filtering software, follow these steps to switch to our backup Infinity server:
#* In your Flashpoint folder, open the <code>Legacy</code> folder.
#* Find the <code>router_base_urls.txt</code> file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
#* Delete the line that starts with <code>Dri0m</code> and save the file.
# If Flashpoint still doesn't work, you might be experiencing a different problem. Follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#UltimateBrokenAfterUpdate|{{anchor|UltimateBrokenAfterUpdate|After I updated to Flashpoint 9.0 Ultimate using the updater, no games are working! Is there a fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Download [http://infinity.unstable.life/Flashpoint/Server/alpine.qcow2 this file].
# Replace the existing file in Flashpoint's <code>Server</code> folder with the file that you downloaded.

'''Q: [[#NotWorkingOffline|{{anchor|NotWorkingOffline|I disconnected from the internet and now games don't show up! How do I fix this?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher, then uncheck the "On Demand Images" box. Then click "Save and Restart." When Flashpoint Launcher re-opens, the problem will be fixed.

'''Q: [[#LauncherNotOpening|{{anchor|LauncherNotOpening|When I double-click Flashpoint.exe, nothing happens! What can I do?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The first time you start Flashpoint Launcher, a bug may occur that prevents it from showing the window. If this happens, open Windows Task Manager, click the Details tab, and look for <code>Flashpoint.exe</code>. Then click "End Process", and Flashpoint should start normally next time.

'''Q: [[#GameDeleted|{{anchor|GameDeleted|I accidentally deleted a game/animation from Flashpoint! How can I reset it?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below:
# [[#TransferPlaylists|Back up any playlists that you want to keep]].
# Get the appropriate database file for your edition of Flashpoint:
#* If you are using Flashpoint Ultimate, download the [http://unstable.life/Flashpoint/Data/flashpoint.sqlite database file]. Then open your copy of Flashpoint Ultimate and replace the <code>flashpoint.sqlite</code> file inside its <code>Data</code> folder with the file you downloaded.
#* If you are using Flashpoint Infinity, just re-extract it. [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Re-download it first] if you don't have the original file anymore.
# [[#TransferPlaylists|Restore any playlists that you backed up]].

'''Q: [[#GameDisappeared|{{anchor|GameDisappeared|I accidentally marked a game as <code>Broken (in Infinity)</code>, and it disappeared! How do I find it again?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow these steps:
# In your Flashpoint folder, open the <code>Launcher</code> folder.
# Open the <code>config.json</code> file in a text editor such as Notepad.
# Find the line that says <code>"showBrokenGames": false,</code> and change <code>false</code> to <code>true</code>.
# Save the file and restart Flashpoint.

'''Q: [[#ToggleSidebars|{{anchor|ToggleSidebars|I can't see the left (or right) sidebar of the launcher anymore! Where did it go?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Click the arrow buttons on the top-right corner of the launcher to toggle the left and right sidebars. --->
[[File:ShowHideSidebars.png]]

'''Q: [[#Logos|{{anchor|Logos|Why can't I see the games' logos/screenshots?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Flashpoint Infinity does not come with the game logos by default due to size reasons. However, they can be downloaded on demand as you use Flashpoint. First, click the Config tab of Flashpoint Launcher and make sure the "On Demand Images" box is checked. Then switch to the ''Grid'' viewing mode using the drop-down menu at the bottom-right corner of the launcher window.

'''Q: [[#GameNotFound|{{anchor|GameNotFound|Why can I not find ''X'' game/animation in the launcher? Why do some games/animations not appear?}}]]'''

'''A:''' There are a few possibilities:

* Make sure you spelled the name of the game/animation correctly when searching. If a search fails, try searching for partial names rather than full names. Varying punctuation is also a common culprit. We are planning on overhauling the Search feature to allow for more customizable and dynamic browsing in the future, so stay tuned!
* If the game/animation has adult content, it might have been marked as Extreme, in which case you'll need to click the Config tab and enable Extreme Games before it will be visible.
* Make sure you don't have a playlist selected by accident; Searching in a playlist will look for the game ''in that playlist specifically''. So make sure you have ''All Games'' selected in the left-hand column before making your search.
* If you see the game on the [[Game Master List]] but don't see it in Flashpoint Infinity, then it might only be available in Flashpoint Ultimate. Follow [[#GameDisappeared|these steps]] to show broken games in Infinity, then search for the game again. If you see the game and the "Broken (in Infinity)" checkbox is checked, that means the game is only available in Flashpoint Ultimate.
* It's also possible that we don't have the game yet. If you wish to request a game or an animation to be added to Flashpoint, you can do so via the respective request forms that you can find in [[Game Master List]] and [[Animation Master List]]. Alternatively, if you want to ensure that the game/animation is added, you can learn how to ''curate'' it yourself by following our [[Curation Tutorial]]. '''In either case, please thoroughly search the master lists above to make sure that we don't have the game or animation already.'''

'''Q: [[#OpenTorrentFile|{{anchor|OpenTorrentFile|Why won't my Ultimate torrent open?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You will need a torrent client such as [https://www.qbittorrent.org/ qBittorrent] to open the .torrent file. The .torrent file tells your torrent client how to download Flashpoint Ultimate.

'''Q: [[#IATorrentBad|{{anchor|IATorrentBad|The torrent won't download, even though I'm using a torrent client! What's the problem?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Do '''not''' use the torrent from Archive.org! Because of the size of Flashpoint Ultimate, Archive.org will not seed its torrent. Instead, use the torrent link on [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Bluemaxima.org].

'''Q: [[#FlashpointNotWorking|{{anchor|FlashpointNotWorking|Why is Flashpoint not working after my download?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Make sure you unzip the program, as it will not work while still zipped. Please use [https://www.7-zip.org 7-Zip] when doing this, as WinRAR is known to fail. If Flashpoint is still not working, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#Corrupted7ZFile|{{anchor|Corrupted7ZFile|When I try to open the Flashpoint Ultimate 7Z file with 7-Zip, it says "Cannot open as archive." What's the problem?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The download was probably corrupted. Browsers are not designed to download gigantic files like Flashpoint Ultimate, so you'll need to use a download manager such as [https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ Free Download Manager] to download the file.

'''Q: [[#CheckHash|{{anchor|CheckHash|How can I check whether Flashpoint Ultimate downloaded successfully?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You'll need to check whether the hash of the file you downloaded matches the expected hash. First, install [https://www.7-zip.org 7-Zip] if you don't have it already. Next, follow these steps:
# Right-click the 7Z file that you downloaded.
# Choose "CRC SHA...", then choose SHA1 or CRC32.
# Go to the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint downloads page] and click the button labeled "Archive.org" underneath the Flashpoint Ultimate heading. This should take you to Flashpoint Ultimate's Archive.org entry.
# Scroll down and find the "Download Options" sidebar on the right. Click the "Show All" link.
# Click the file ending in <code>_files.xml</code>. For example, on Flashpoint 6.3's page, the file is called <code>Flashpoint6.3_files.xml</code>.
# You should see a list of files in XML format. Check the hash listed for the file, and make sure it matches the hash you found in Step 2. For example, if you chose CRC32 in Step 2, make sure the CRC32 hashes are the same.

'''Q: [[#InfinityPartialDownloads|{{anchor|InfinityPartialDownloads|Most games are working, but when I try to open a specific game, I get an error like one of these:}}]]'''
* "The file __ is not a Director file."
* "Error launching Unity Player: bad file length"
* "Failed to initialize player's 3D settings"
* A stuck loading bar
* Partially loaded images, missing elements on a page or in a game, or other problems indicating file corruption

'''A:''' If you are using Flashpoint Infinity, it's very likely that Flashpoint Router failed to download a complete file. To solve the problem, follow these steps:
# Right-click the game that you are trying to play, then click "Open File Location."
# This will open a folder; delete all of the files there.
# Clear the cache by following [[#ClearWinINetCache|these steps]].
# Try launching the game again.
If the problem persists, try [[#UpdateRouter|updating Flashpoint Router]]. If that doesn't help, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Manual.pdf Manual].

'''Q: [[#UpdateRouter|{{anchor|UpdateRouter|How do I update Flashpoint Router?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow these steps:
# Download this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlashpointProject/Flashpoint-Router/master/router.php
# Place the downloaded file in the <code>Legacy</code> folder of your Flashpoint folder, overwriting the original <code>router.php</code> file.

'''Q: [[#3DVIAAudioBug|{{anchor|3DVIAAudioBug|I am playing a 3DVIA Player webgame and the audio is loud and distorted, how do I fix it?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Your computer has a codec issue with MP3 playback. To resolve this:
# Install K-Lite Codec Pack if you do not already have it installed.
# Open Codec Tweak Tool from the Start Menu.
# In Codec Tweak Tool, go to Codec and Filter Management > Directshow (x86) and check the box for LAV Audio Decoder.
# Click Apply & Close to disable the filter.
# Exit Codec Tweak Tool.

'''Q: [[#ServerExited|{{anchor|ServerExited|Games are not working, and an error like this one appears constantly in the Launcher's logs:}}]]'''
Server exited with code 3221225781

'''A:''' First, make sure that you have installed all of the latest Windows Updates. Next, install the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55170 Microsoft .NET Framework] and the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable]. When you install the Visual C++ Redistributable, '''make sure to install the x86 version''', even if you're on a 64-bit machine!

'''Q: [[#LauncherBlackScreen|{{anchor|LauncherBlackScreen|When I open Flashpoint all I get is a black/grey screen. What should I do?}}]]'''

'''A:''' If your computer has an older graphics card, it may not support the launcher's hardware acceleration. To get around this, disable hardware acceleration by following these steps:

# In your main Flashpoint folder, select the <code>Start Flashpoint</code> shortcut by clicking it once.
# Press <code>Alt</code> + <code>Enter</code> to bring up its properties window.
# In the <code>Target</code> field, add a space at the very end of the field followed by <code>--disable-gpu</code>.
# Click OK
# Launch Flashpoint by double-clicking the <code>Start Flashpoint</code> shortcut.

Note that this change only affects the launcher itself, and shouldn't have any impact on its performance.

'''Q: [[#MarioBrosCrossoverIssue|{{anchor|MarioBrosCrossoverIssue|Most games are working, but when I launch a Flash game such as Super Mario Bros. Crossover, it crashes on a black screen! What's the fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Open your Flashpoint folder and navigate to the <code>Legacy\htdocs</code> folder.
# Delete the <code>data.explodingrabbit.com</code> folder.
# Clear the cache by following [[#ClearWinINetCache|these steps]].

'''Q: [[#UnityUpdatePlugin|{{anchor|UnityUpdatePlugin|Some Unity games ask to update the plugin and will not play the game! What's the fix?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
# Open your Flashpoint folder and navigate to the <code>FPSoftware\FlashpointSecurePlayerConfigs</code> folder.
# Extract [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/596548932373577750/802693500218114058/unitywebplayer.7z this file] into the folder, confirm to replace files.
# Restart Flashpoint.

==Work & Curation==

'''Q: [[#SubmitGame|{{anchor|SubmitGame|What is the difference between requesting and curating a game? Can I "submit" a game?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Requesting - This option adds your game to an ever-growing list of ones people want added. You will need to fill out the request form which takes 1-5 minutes. Chances of game being saved by any of the curators is small because there are thousands of games waiting on the list, some of which have been waiting for over a year. If you want to increase the chances of it being saved, we suggest that you try to write an engaging description of the game and/or the reason you want it saved.

Curating - This is the process of actually adding the game to Flashpoint. It requires testing the game using procedures detailed in our curation guides. It takes about 30 minutes to do the first time, but as you learn the process you can get it under 5 minutes.
To get started, follow our [[Curation Tutorial]].
Once you curate a game, it will be saved and added to the next version of Flashpoint.

If you'd like to learn more about the concept of digital curation, read [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_curation this article]. It explains the principles behind what we do.

'''Q: [[#MetadataEdits|{{anchor|MetadataEdits|How do I correct a problem with a game's metadata? Does editing the game in my copy of Flashpoint update it for everyone?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No, editing a game in your copy of Flashpoint does not update it for everyone. To get your change included in the next version of Flashpoint, follow the instructions in the [[Metadata Edits]] page.

'''Q: [[#ScrapeWebsites|{{anchor|ScrapeWebsites|What tools should I use to archive whole websites?}}]]'''

'''A:''' See [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|Helpful Tools]].

'''Q: [[#WhatPlatform|{{anchor|WhatPlatform|How do I tell what platform a game is?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The easiest way to check these kinds of things is to right-click the game window and look at the context menu that appears. If it says something about Flash, it's a Flash game. If it says nothing out of the ordinary or no context menu appeared, it's probably HTML5. See [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/509676268719964160/692059796957954079/unknown.png this image] for a summary.

You can also use Inspect Element to look at the embed of the game for the following file extensions:

.swf - Flash

.dcr/.dir/.dxr - Shockwave

.unity3d - Unity Web Player

.jar/.class - Java

.stk - ShiVa3D

.xap - Silverlight

.vmo - 3DVIA

If a game runs only in Internet Explorer, references a .cab file, and is not one of the above types of games, it is probably an ActiveX game.

If a game does not require any plugins or ActiveX controls to run, then it is probably an HTML5 (or HTML/JavaScript) game.

If it's something else it may be under one of our other platforms, but these are the most common types.

'''Q: [[#SubmitSWFs|{{anchor|SubmitSWFs|Where can I submit my collection of SWFs?}}]]'''

'''A:''' [http://bluepload.unstable.life/ This is our public upload location.]

It is highly encouraged that you first check the [[Game Master List]] and the [[Animation Master List]] for any game/animation that are already in Flashpoint and only upload ones that are not.

'''Q: [[#Decompiler|{{anchor|Decompiler|What is a good tool to decompile/hack SWF files (Flash games)?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The recommended program for this purpose is ''[https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler/releases JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler]''.

'''Q: [[#ClearWinINetCache|{{anchor|ClearWinINetCache|How do I clear the Flash projector's cache?}}]]'''

'''A:''' The Flash projectors use WinINet to perform network requests. Some other Flashpoint platforms, such as 3D Groove GX, also use WinINet. To clear the cache for these programs, follow these steps:
# Press Windows-R to open the Run box.
# Type the following, then press Enter: <code>RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8</code>
Note that for games that use the Basilisk browser, you will need to [[#ClearBasiliskCache|clear Basilisk's cache]] instead.

'''Q: [[#ClearBasiliskCache|{{anchor|ClearBasiliskCache|How do I clear the Basilisk browser's cache?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Open the Basilisk browser and follow these steps:
# Press the <code>Alt</code> key
# Click "History," then "Clear Recent History..."
# Change the time range to "Everything" using the dropdown menu, then check the boxes next to "Cache" and "Offline Website Data."
# Click "Clear Now."

'''Q: [[#AlternatePlatformCuration|{{anchor|AlternatePlatformCuration|I'm curating an HTML5 version of a Flash game that is already in Flashpoint (or the other way around). Should I submit it as alternate of Flashpoint's existing entry?}}]]'''

'''A:''' No, you will need to submit a new, separate curation. Currently, alternate versions of a game are required to be of the same [[Platforms|Platform (technology)]] as the main game entry.

'''Q: [[#cgibin|{{anchor|cgibin|My curation works fine in Flashpoint Core, but when I import it into Infinity, it doesn't work anymore! Is there a problem with my curation?}}]]'''

'''A:''' Probably not. For Infinity, files need to be placed in the <code>cgi-bin</code> folder, following the same structure as they would in the <code>htdocs</code> folder, if they meet one of these criteria:
* The file has a PHP, PHP5 or PHTML extension. These files are always loaded from cgi-bin.
* The file doesn't have one of these extensions, but does have a PHP script in it that you intend to run.

This restriction exists because it would be unsafe for Infinity to download and execute PHP on demand.

If your curation does not include any PHP scripts and it still isn't working, [[#ClearWinINetCache|clear the cache]] and try launching the game again.

'''Q: [[#cURLsDownloaderBug|{{anchor|cURLsDownloaderBug|After I type a URL or filename into the cURLsDownloader window, it immediately closes! Am I doing something wrong?}}]]'''

'''A:''' This bug is fixed in the latest version of cURLsDownloader. You can find the download link on the [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|Helpful Tools]] page.

'''Q: [[#NoTags|{{anchor|NoTags|I filled out tags for my curation, but after I exported it, I noticed that the tags are missing! Why did this happen?}}]]'''

'''A:''' To add a tag to your curation, first type it into the Tags box, then ''select'' it by either clicking it, or pressing the Tab key and hitting Enter when the tag is highlighted. '''If you type a tag without selecting it, it will not be added to your curation!'''

==Technical questions==

'''Q: [[#ActiveX|{{anchor|ActiveX|How does Flashpoint's ActiveX support work? What happens when an ActiveX control is registered?}}]]'''

'''A:''' [https://github.com/FlashpointProject/FlashpointSecureTools/tree/master/FlashpointSecurePlayer Flashpoint Secure Player] powers our ActiveX support. It provides a lightweight wrapper around Internet Explorer's engine, so it can load ActiveX controls just like Internet Explorer can. It has a significant advantage over Internet Explorer though: it allows us to use Internet Explorer's engine with Flashpoint but not change your Internet Explorer settings. It can load files through Flashpoint's proxy and load Flashpoint's ActiveX controls that do not work with Internet Explorer's default settings. In addition, Flashpoint Secure Player resets all changes that it makes to your system after it closes, meaning that ActiveX controls can be used without being permanently installed. All of the ActiveX controls supported by Flashpoint are included in the <code>FPSoftware\ActiveX</code> folder; no ActiveX controls are downloaded from the internet.

'''Q: [[#LaunchBox|{{anchor|LaunchBox|How can I add Flashpoint games to my LaunchBox collection?}}]]'''

'''A:''' You can use [https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/2652-obbys-flashpoint-importer-for-launchbox/ this tool] to import games and playlists from Flashpoint into LaunchBox.
