Tyefyedye:

This guide will show you how to curate Java games and animations using Flashpoint Core, as well as dealing with any problems that may come up in the process.

This page is accurate as of '''[https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint Core 9]'''.

== Recognizing Java applets ==

Unlike other technologies such as Flash or Shockwave, Java applets are most commonly embedded on a page using an applet tag rather than an object/embed tag. Finding these tags is important since they're necessary to get the games running in Flashpoint.

Here's an example of the most basic type you can find:

<applet code="iceblox.class" width="390" height="350"></applet>

Here's a more complex example that shows certain parameters being passed to the game and that the class files may be packaged in a JAR/ZIP/CAB archive. If you tried to run this game on a browser that didn't support Java, you'd only see "Unfortunately, your browser does not support Java". This can be a good way to know if the web game or animation you're trying to curate uses Java.

<pre>
<applet code="gamehouse.SuperApplet.class" archive="Collapse.zip" height="400" width="460" viewastext mayscript>
<param name="cabbase" value="Collapse.cab">
<param name="canvas" value="Collapse.CollapseCanvas">
<param name="bgcolor" value="FFFFFF">
<param name="textcolor" value="000000">
<param name="buyurl" value="http://get.games.yahoo.com/proddesc?gamekey=spcollapse">
<param name="target" value="_blank">

Unfortunately, your browser does not support Java.
</applet>
</pre>

Java applets may also be embedded using the object and embed tags, although this appears to be less common:

<pre>
<object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/jinstall-12-win32.cab#Version=1,2,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" name="Rockz" alt="Java applet failure">
<param name="code" value="rockz.Run.class" >
<param name="archive" value="rockz.jar" >
<param name="name" value="Rockz" >
<param name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2">

<embed code="rockz.Run.class" archive="rockz.jar" name="Rockz" type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2" width="100%" height="100%" alt="Java applet failure" pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/plugin-install.html"></embed>
</object>
</pre>

To find these tags, right-click the page with the applet, click "Inspect Element" or "View Page Source" and then search for "applet".

== Curation steps ==

Flashpoint runs Java applets offline by using an application called the AppletViewer. You can think of it like the equivalent to a Flash projector. Let's take a look at a simple example by curating the game "Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge" from <code><nowiki>https://www.miniclip.com/games/real-space-2/en/</nowiki></code>

<ol>
<li>
Open this page in your browser. You should see the text saying that Java is not enabled or installed. This indicates that it's a Java game, so we should take a look at the page's source and try to find the applet tag. If we search for "applet", we'll find the following:

<pre>
<applet width="500" height="500" code="gameapp.class" archive="gameapp.jar">
<param name="SIZE_SCALE" value="1.0" />
If you see this message you do not have Java enabled or do not have Java installed.</br><a href="http://wwww.java.com">Please see Java.com</a> to download the latest version of Java.</a>
</applet>
</pre>

Note that the page could have also written the tag dynamically which means that you wouldn't be able to find it by just checking its source. In this case you would use your browser's "Inspect Element" option and search for it there.
</li>

<li>
In your Flashpoint Core directory, go to the <code>Curate</code> tab and press the <code>New Curation</code> button on the top right corner. In the <code>content</code> folder, create a series of directories that match the original site's structure. In this case, we'd create four directories, each inside the previous one: <code>www.miniclip.com\games\real-space-2\en\</code>
</li>

[[File:Java curation path.png|center|What the file structure would look like in the content folder]]

<li>
Navigate to the last directory (in this case <code>\en\</code>) and create the HTML file that will contain the applet tag we found in step 1. You should give it the same name as the original site. In the case there isn't one, you can just create a file called <code>index.html</code>.
</li>

<li>
Open the file you've just created in a text editor and paste the applet tag in there.

<pre>
<applet width="500" height="500" code="gameapp.class" archive="gameapp.jar">
<param name="SIZE_SCALE" value="1.0" />
</applet>
</pre>
</li>

<li>
Enter the game's title, platform, application path, and launch command in the respective text fields. In this case, they would be:

<pre>
Title: Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge
Platform: Java
Application Path: FPSoftware\startJava.bat
Launch Command: http://www.miniclip.com/games/real-space-2/en/index.html
</pre>

The platform should be the same for all Java curations. Make sure that the launch command starts with http:// and '''not''' https://

<li>
Run the game initially and look at the '''Logs''' tab in the Flashpoint launcher to see what assets the game is requesting. Download the game's assets (code, images, sounds, etc) and put them in the correct directories so that they also match the original site's structure. It's possible that all the files needed are inside the archive (called gameapp.jar here). If they were and we didn't need any additional files then we could move onto the next step.

However, for this and most other Java games, the archive only has the game's code. We still need to download the rest of the assets. This can be done in several ways, including:

* Downloading these files manually by pasting their URLs into a web browser.
* Using a tool like [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|wget or cURLsDownloader]] to download the assets from specific URLs. This is especially useful if you want to download the files from the Wayback Machine (see [[#Finding Java applets in the Wayback Machine|this section]] for more details).
* Using a tool that automatically downloads these files from the original site as they're requested by the game. See the [[MAD4FP]] page for more details on how to do this.

[[File:java_curation_example_launcher_logs.png|center|Some of the files requested by "Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge" in the Logs tab of the Flashpoint launcher.]]
</li>

<li>
You can now test your curation in Flashpoint Core. You can start the game by pressing the <code>Run</code> button at the bottom of your new curation. You should now see the game running in the AppletViewer:

[[File:java_curation_example.png|center|300px|"Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge" running in the AppletViewer.]]
</li>

<li>
Fill the rest of the fields and submit your curation by following the [[Curation Format]]. For more information on how to curate games for Flashpoint, refer to the [[Curation Tutorial]].
</li>
</ol>

== Curation tips ==

<ul>

<li>
You may sometimes see a parameter in the applet tag called <code>cabbase</code> that specifies a CAB file. This was used to allow the same applet to run in different browsers - Netscape Navigator would download the JAR or ZIP in the archive attribute while Internet Explorer would download the CAB in the cabbase parameter. Although the AppletViewer doesn't request this file, you should still include it in your submission for preservation's sake.
</li>

<li>
The AppletViewer ignores everything in the file it reads except for the tags that embed a Java applet. You can see the tag that was read by the AppletViewer by going to <code>Applet > Tag...</code>.
</li>

<li>
You can sometimes find more information about the author, version and copyright of an applet by going to <code>Applet > Info...</code> in the AppletViewer.
</li>

<li>
Be aware of how HTML comments can affect the parameters specified in the applet tag. For example:
<pre>
<applet code="game.class" width="100" height="100">
<param name="param1" value="abc">

</applet>
</pre>
If you run the applet in the AppletViewer using <code>startJava.bat</code>, both parameters are set. Otherwise, if you run it in a browser using <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, only <code>param1</code> is set.
</li>

<li>
If a Java game requests external assets during gameplay and you don't have time to play through the entire game, try opening the game's .class or .jar files with a Java decompiler such as JD-GUI. Images and sounds are often loaded using [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#getImage-java.net.URL- <code>Applet.getImage()</code>] and [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#getAudioClip-java.net.URL- <code>Applet.getAudioClip()</code>], respectively. Alternatively, you can open them in a hex editor such as HxD, though this will make it hard to know how and when the game is requesting assets. References to external assets are often plain text strings, so you may try searching for common asset types such as .gif and .jpg images or .au sounds.<br>Regardless of the method used, you can make a list of these assets, then download them from the internet and add them to the game's directory. All of these tools are linked in [[#Useful tools and resources|this section]].
</li>

</ul>

== Application paths ==

This section will list all the possible values for the <code>Application Path</code> field in the metadata and launcher. Both of these currently use Java 8 update 181. If you encounter any problems that you think might be solved by using an older Java version, read the steps in the [[#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting section]] first. Note that Flashpoint doesn't currently support Java Web Start or Microsoft Java.

=== startJava.bat ===

Use <code>FPSoftware\startJava.bat</code> to run the applet in the AppletViewer (as we saw in [[#Curation Steps|the example above]]). If you use this application path, put the URL to the file that contains the <code><applet></code> tag in the <code>Launch Command</code> field. For example:

<pre>
Application Path: FPSoftware\startJava.bat
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html
</pre>

If the URL contains spaces, replace them with <code>%20</code>. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index%20with%20spaces.html
</pre>

You can also pass extra command line arguments to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) by placing them '''after''' the URL. These options must be prefixed with '''-J'''. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.country=US
</pre>
Read the [[#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting section]] to see how these may be used to solve some common problems.

If the URL contains an ampersand character (&), wrap it in double quotes. This happens when you use PHP to set certain parameters dynamically in the applet tag. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: "http://www.example.com/game/index.php?param1=value1&param2=value2"
</pre>
Where "value1" and "value2" could change what the parameters are set to.

=== startJavaInBrowser.bat ===

Use <code>FPSoftware\startJavaInBrowser.bat</code> to run the applet in a browser. Unlike the application path mentioned above, you don't have to necessarily put the URL to the file that contains the <code><applet></code> tag in the <code>Launch Command</code> field. For example:

<pre>
Application Path: FPSoftware\startJavaInBrowser.bat
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html
</pre>

The previous notes about the launch commands also apply, with the exception of the extra command line arguments. If you use <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, these options are '''not''' prefixed with '''-J'''. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US
</pre>

In addition to this, you '''must''' always follow the next two steps. These will ensure that the applet is allowed to run in its domain with the correct Java version.

<ol>

<li>
Add the game's domain to the end of the exception site list file in <code>FPSoftware\Java\JDK_1.8.0_181\jre\lib\exception.sites</code>. For this example, this would be <code><nowiki>http://www.example.com/</nowiki></code>. If you're curating multiple games from the same domain, you only have to do this once. Be sure to include this information in the <code>Curation Notes</code> field in the metadata. For example:
<pre>
Before testing the game, add http://www.example.com/ to the exception site list file in FPSoftware\Java\JDK_1.8.0_181\jre\lib\exception.sites
</pre>
</li>

<li>
Add these two parameters to the <code><applet></code> tag:
<pre>
<param name="java_version" value="1.8.0_181">
<param name="separate_jvm" value="true">
</pre>
If the applet uses an <code><embed></code> tag instead, these parameters would look like:
<pre>
<embed java_version="1.8.0_181" separate_jvm="true">
</pre>
These parameters have no effect if the same applet is launched in the AppletViewer via <code>startJava.bat</code>.
</li>

</ol>

Every applet that runs in a browser will show a security prompt that must be accepted before starting. To make this clear to Flashpoint users, add the following to the beginning of the <code>Game Notes</code> field in the metadata:
<pre>
This Java game will run in a browser. Make sure to accept any security prompts that show up while playing.
</pre>

<gallery mode="packed">

</gallery>

Since in-browser Java applets are currently only supported on Windows, you should provide an option to launch them in the AppletViewer (if possible). You can do so by making an additional application called <code>Play in the AppletViewer</code> with the <code>startJava.bat</code> application path, and by adding the following to the <code>Game Notes</code> field in the metadata:
<pre>
If playing in a browser doesn't work, try using the "Play in the AppletViewer" option under Additional Applications.
</pre>

==== When to run applets in a browser ====

You should run Java applets in a browser if any of the following conditions are met:
* The page has two or more applets that communicate via JavaScript. Note that it's possible for multiple applets to communicate with each other using the AppletViewer, provided they do so using the [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/applet/AppletContext.html#getApplet-java.lang.String- <code>AppletContext.getApplet()</code>] method.
* The applet relies on page element interaction (e.g. pressing buttons) to be played.
* The applet uses browser cookies to save the game's progress. These are saved and loaded using JavaScript.
* The page contains other multimedia elements that enhance the experience. For example, the page might embed Flash or Shockwave movies, or play music (MIDI, MOD).
These aren't hard requirements, you can curate any applet using <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code> if you feel like it captures the original experience. If you decide to curate an applet using this application path, you should also include any other assets (images, sounds) that are embedded on the same page.

==== Browser curation tips ====

<ul>

<li>
If some JavaScript code on the page is meant to interact with the applet, you should check how it's doing so. Older applets may rely on old JavaScript functionalities that modern browsers don't support. For example, in the game Urbanoids, the player has to click a button on the page to start the game:
<pre>
function start_it() {
document.game.clickStart();
}

<applet code="noids.class" width=240 height=263 name="game">
<param name="java_version" value="1.8.0_181">
<param name="separate_jvm" value="true">
</applet>
</pre>
This wouldn't work because the applet tag uses the attribute <code>name</code>. To fix this, we would need to change it to <code>id</code>:
<pre>
<applet code="noids.class" width=240 height=263 id="game">
</pre>
</li>

<li>
If the web page tries to play MIDI or WAV audio using the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/bgsound <code><bgsound></code>] tag, you must convert it to an equivalent <code><embed></code> or <code><audio></code> tag:
<pre>
<bgsound src="game.mid" loop="infinite">
<embed type="audio/midi" src="game.mid" loop="true" autostart="true" hidden="true">

<bgsound src="game.wav" loop="infinite">
<audio src="game.wav" loop autoplay></audio>
</pre>
Since <code><bgsound></code> is ignored outside of Internet Explorer, you should keep it alongside the new tags for future reference.
</li>

</ul>

== Debugging Java applets ==

If an applet doesn't seem to be working properly, check if any error occurs while it's running. You can see what the applet writes to the standard output and error output by editing the batch files specified in the Application Path. It's highly recommended that you enable these features when curating Java applets.

=== startJava.bat ===

Open <code>FPSoftware\startJava.bat</code> and change <code>"java"</code> to <code>"javadebug"</code> in the following line:
<pre>
FlashpointSecurePlayer -n "java" -sw %*
</pre>

A separate window containing the applet's output will now show up everytime you run the AppletViewer.

=== startJavaInBrowser.bat ===

Open <code>FPSoftware\startJavaInBrowser.bat</code> and change <code>OFF</code> to <code>ON</code> in the following line:
<pre>
SET FLASHPOINT_DEBUG_MODE=OFF
</pre>

This will always show the Java console when the applet runs and will place a Java icon in the system tray, which you can use to bring up the console at any time.

== Finding Java applets in the Wayback Machine ==

Since Java applets were first introduced in 1995, it can sometimes be hard to locate files belonging to older games. This section will show you how to more easily find these by using the [https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback/tree/master/wayback-cdx-server Wayback CDX Server API]. For example, if you wanted to see what Java games hosted on Shockwave.com were saved by the Wayback Machine, you could use the following query:
<pre>
https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=*.shockwave.com/&filter=original:.*(\.class|\.jar|\.zip|\.cab|\.au).*&fl=original,timestamp,statuscode&collapse=urlkey
</pre>
Where:
* <code>url=*.shockwave.com/</code> says to search in every Shockwave.com subdomain.
* <code>filter=original:.*(\.class|\.jar|\.zip|\.cab|\.au).*</code> says to only show the URLs that contain these file extensions: .class, .jar, .zip, .cab, and .au.
* <code>fl=original,timestamp,statuscode</code> says to show three fields in this order: the URL, timestamp, and HTTP status code.
* <code>collapse=urlkey</code> says to only show unique URLs.
Now that we have this list, we can scan it for Java games. For example, the game Cubis:
<pre>
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/cubis.jar 20180828052922 200
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/sounds/allcubes.au 20180828054857 200
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/sounds/blank.au 20180828055355 200
</pre>
Note that this game also uses .jpg and .gif images. We didn't include these file extensions in the query above since it would also include every unrelated image from Shockwave.com. Now that we know where to look, we can locate every file in the game's directory with the following query:
<pre>
https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/*&fl=original&collapse=urlkey
</pre>
Where:
* <code>url=www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/*</code> says to show every URL with that prefix.
We can now see the additional files that were excluded by the first query:
<pre>
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/o_solid.gif
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/panel.jpg
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/piece_marker.gif
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/rim_b.jpg
</pre>
To download these assets for your Java curation, create a text file with these URLs and then add <code><nowiki>http://web.archive.org/web/1id_/</nowiki></code> to the beginning of each one. The <code>1id_</code> segment tells the Wayback Machine to use the original file, without any modifications. Then, drag the text file onto the [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|cURLsDownloader]] tool to start downloading them (read its help file for more details). For more information on the Wayback CDX Server API, refer to the [https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback/tree/master/wayback-cdx-server documentation on its GitHub].

== Useful tools and resources ==

This section will link to external tools and resources that may be useful to learn more about the technology or to try to get certain games and animations working.

* API Specification for [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/ Java SE 8].

* AppletViewer: [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/appletviewer.html general documentation], [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/appletviewertags.html how it handles different tags]

* Decompilers: [https://github.com/java-decompiler/jd-gui/releases JD-GUI], [https://github.com/deathmarine/Luyten/releases Luyten]

* Bytecode Editors: [http://dirty-joe.com/ dirtyJOE], [https://github.com/GraxCode/JByteMod-Beta/releases JByteMod]. Always check if there's a simpler way to get Java applets working. Only modify the original files as a last resort!

See also: [[Helpful Tools]].

== Troubleshooting ==

This section will cover some of the problems that may arise when curating Java games and animations. It's highly recommended that you enable the [[#Debugging Java applets|debugging options mentioned above]] when curating Java applets. If you're experiencing an issue not mentioned in this section be sure to ask for help in the <code>#curator-lounge</code> channel in the Flashpoint Discord server.

=== The applet closes immediately when I try to run it ===

The AppletViewer will close immediately if it can't find the specified file or if this file doesn't have an applet tag. You should check if the launch command is correct and if the file has a valid applet tag in it.

=== The applet is trying to request files that are suspiciously missing from the original site ===

If the class files are packaged in JAR or ZIP archives, be sure to open them and check if the missing files are there. If they are, extract them to the same directory as the archive. Some Java games have trouble loading assets from inside these archives and will instead try to load them externally. Note that you'll never have to extract class files.

=== The applet isn't displaying certain characters correctly ===

Try setting the correct character encoding and locale properties in the AppletViewer. For example, if a game from GeoCities Japan needed to display Japanese characters, you would add '''all''' of the following to the end of the game's launch command: <code>-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -J-Duser.language=ja -J-Duser.country=JP</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, remove the '''-J''' prefix.

[[File:java_character_encoding_comparision.png|center|thumb|A comparision between using the English locale (left) and the Japanese locale (right)]]

You can also see what the current character encoding and locale settings are in the AppletViewer by using <code>-J-XshowSettings</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, don't use this option. Instead, [[#startJavaInBrowser.bat_2 | enable the Java console]] and press 's' to show the current settings.

If you would like to know more about which character encodings and locales are supported in Java 8, see:
* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html
* https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/java8locales-2095355.html

=== The applet ignores the Tab key's input ===

If the applet doesn't seem to be registering the Tab key's input, then follow the next steps:

# Download '''[https://bluepload.unstable.life/flashpoint-java-wrappers-v3.zip this ZIP]''' which contains a wrapper applet that will fix this problem before loading the main applet.
# Put <code>FlashpointDisableFocusTraversalKeysWrapperApplet.class</code> next to the applet's class files or archives.
# Add the following parameter to the applet tag: <code><param name="flashpointClassToLoad" value=""></code>, where the value is the one specified in the code attribute. Remove the trailing <code>.class</code> if there is one.
# Change the code attribute to <code>FlashpointDisableFocusTraversalKeysWrapperApplet</code>. The wrapper applet will run before loading the main one.

This wrapper disables all forward and backwards focus traversal keys (like Tab and Shift-Tab), so that these key events become available to the key event listeners. These keys would normally be used to change the keyboard focus in components like buttons and text fields. Applets affected by this problem expect the Tab key's input to work since they were made before Java 1.4 (2002) where this change was introduced.

Here's an example of a modified applet tag from the game Teslatron, where the second player uses the Tab key to drop bombs:

<pre>
<applet code="FlashpointDisableFocusTraversalKeysWrapperApplet" width="523" height="367" archive="client_hacked.zip">
<param name="flashpointClassToLoad" value="client.RobombClient">

<param name="cabbase" value="client.cab">
<param name="game" value="123">
<param name="on-site" value="true">
<param name="noPlayers" value="2">
</applet>
</pre>

For more information on key listeners and focus traversal keys in Java, see the following pages:

* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/keylistener.html (in particular the first version note)
* https://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/2244591/Changing-Focus-Traversal-Keys-in-Java-V14.htm

=== The applet doesn't work properly in the AppletViewer and shows the following error: netscape.javascript.JSException ===

This means that the applet wants to interface with the browser, likely trying to execute some JavaScript code. This error may be ignored in some cases. For example, an applet that uses JavaScript to track the number of times the game has been played. If this doesn't impact the gameplay or show any side effects, you can safetly ignore it. Otherwise, you will need to run the applet in a browser. Refer to [[#startJavaInBrowser.bat|this section]] to learn how to do it.

=== The applet doesn't start and shows the following error: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value 1008813135 in class file ===

This error means that the class file is in fact just an HTML file. This is likely due to being served a 404 page because the class file is missing. Try opening the file in a text editor or browser to confirm this. The value 1008813135 represents <code><!DO</code>, in other words, the start of an HTML <code><!DOCTYPE></code> declaration. You may see a different magic value in the error depending on the wrong type of file you were served. The class file format is always supposed to have 3405691582 (0xCAFEBABE in hexadecimal) as the first four bytes.

=== The applet doesn't start and shows the following error: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Name index 0 in LocalVariableTable has bad constant type in class file ===

This error means that Java encountered a problem while checking if the class file is formatted correctly. You can fix this by adding the following option to the end of the launch command: <code>-J-Xverify:none</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, use <code>-Xverify:none</code> instead.

This command line argument tells Java to skip the bytecode verification step, meaning this error will be ignored and the applet can continue running. Note that this should be done sparingly, and only when you know it's an error of this nature. You should always check if the applet works correctly after using it.

This same fix also applies to the following errors:
<pre>
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid start_pc 65535 in LocalVariableTable in class file
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal field name "?" in class
</pre>

More information about this error: when [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html compiling Java source files], you can specify certain debug options, one of which generates information about the local variables of each method (the LocalVariableTable attribute). This error happens when there's a single LocalVariableTable that is invalid according to the [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.13 class file format]. It seems to be most common with applets in the late 1990s and early 2000s which were compiled using older Java versions.

== Developer specific troubleshooting ==

This section will cover some problems that commonly show up when curating Java games and animations from specific developers. This might also be useful if you're experiencing similar issues in applets made by developers that aren't listed here. If you're experiencing an issue not mentioned in this section be sure to ask for help in the <code>#curator-lounge</code> channel in the Flashpoint Discord server.

=== MumboJumbo ===

If a game crashes after your score reaches 1,000 points, try changing the locale property to English (US). You can do this by adding the following '''after''' the game's launch command: <code>-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.country=US</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, remove the '''-J''' prefix.

Note that you won't experience this issue if this is already your default locale. To avoid curating a game that might crash for another player, try playing the game with the following locale settings: <code>-J-Duser.language=es -J-Duser.country=ES</code>. You can also see what the current character encoding and locale settings are in the AppletViewer by using <code>-J-XshowSettings</code>. If you're running the game in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, don't use this option. Instead, [[#startJavaInBrowser.bat_2 | enable the Java console]] and press 's' to show the current settings.

Why this happens: the game uses [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/NumberFormat.html#getInstance-- <code>NumberFormat.getInstance()</code>] to get a number format to format the player's score. This method uses the default locale, meaning that a number like one thousand is formatted as either <code>1,000</code> or <code>1.000</code> [https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-0169/overview-9/index.html depending on your locale]. The game's score font data is only defined for the numbers 0 through 9 and the comma, but not for the period. While the game is iterating over the formatted score string, the image data relative to the period will be returned as null, causing the game to eventually throw a NullPointerException when it accesses the image's attributes.

=== GameHouse ===

GameHouse Java games are both site and time locked, which means that they can only be played in certain domains and before a certain date. These game check where and when they're being played by requesting a file called <code>license.txt</code> which contains one or more license keys. Each key is associated with a domain name and expiration date. The idea was that game portals like Shockwave.com or Yahoo! Games would pay GameHouse to renew their licenses. If a game detects that it's being played after this date, then it won't start and will print the following:
<pre>
Init 2.4
Date Value 1567034208000
Please Contact GameHouse, Inc. for configuration instructions.
</pre>

If you're collecting a game's assets by using a tool like [[MAD4FP]], you can set your system clock to the year 2000 before running it.

If you already have all the game's assets and want to curate it, change the contents of the <code>license.txt</code> to the following:

<pre>
#gamehouse.com
Ajeaarvtzvfaapntzpjtziftzjgaakwszrgaabgaachaariszmesz
</pre>

After doing this, you have to move the assets to <code>gamehouse.com</code> (and not www.gamehouse.com). This new license key has no date associated with it, and was meant for GameHouse to host their own games without having to worry about expiration dates. Since you are moving the files from their original source, you can use the following directory structure: <code>gamehouse.com\Java\GameName</code>.

If you'd like to learn more about GameHouse's Java games installation instructions, see [https://web.archive.org/web/20190827130108id_/http://www.cyberkids.com/fg/gamehouse/JavaGameIntstall.txt this page].

Java Curation

2020-12-21T13:13:02Z

Tyefyedye: /* Curation steps */ Update Java Curation steps

This guide will show you how to curate Java games and animations using Flashpoint Core, as well as dealing with any problems that may come up in the process.

This page is accurate as of '''[https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Flashpoint Core 5]'''.

== Recognizing Java applets ==

Unlike other technologies such as Flash or Shockwave, Java applets are most commonly embedded on a page using an applet tag rather than an object/embed tag. Finding these tags is important since they're necessary to get the games running in Flashpoint.

Here's an example of the most basic type you can find:

<applet code="iceblox.class" width="390" height="350"></applet>

Here's a more complex example that shows certain parameters being passed to the game and that the class files may be packaged in a JAR/ZIP/CAB archive. If you tried to run this game on a browser that didn't support Java, you'd only see "Unfortunately, your browser does not support Java". This can be a good way to know if the web game or animation you're trying to curate uses Java.

<pre>
<applet code="gamehouse.SuperApplet.class" archive="Collapse.zip" height="400" width="460" viewastext mayscript>
<param name="cabbase" value="Collapse.cab">
<param name="canvas" value="Collapse.CollapseCanvas">
<param name="bgcolor" value="FFFFFF">
<param name="textcolor" value="000000">
<param name="buyurl" value="http://get.games.yahoo.com/proddesc?gamekey=spcollapse">
<param name="target" value="_blank">

Unfortunately, your browser does not support Java.
</applet>
</pre>

Java applets may also be embedded using the object and embed tags, although this appears to be less common:

<pre>
<object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/jinstall-12-win32.cab#Version=1,2,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" name="Rockz" alt="Java applet failure">
<param name="code" value="rockz.Run.class" >
<param name="archive" value="rockz.jar" >
<param name="name" value="Rockz" >
<param name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2">

<embed code="rockz.Run.class" archive="rockz.jar" name="Rockz" type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2" width="100%" height="100%" alt="Java applet failure" pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/plugin-install.html"></embed>
</object>
</pre>

To find these tags, right-click the page with the applet, click "Inspect Element" or "View Page Source" and then search for "applet".

== Curation steps ==

Flashpoint runs Java applets offline by using an application called the AppletViewer. You can think of it like the equivalent to a Flash projector. Let's take a look at a simple example by curating the game "Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge" from <code><nowiki>https://www.miniclip.com/games/real-space-2/en/</nowiki></code>

<ol>
<li>
Open this page in your browser. You should see the text saying that Java is not enabled or installed. This indicates that it's a Java game, so we should take a look at the page's source and try to find the applet tag. If we search for "applet", we'll find the following:

<pre>
<applet width="500" height="500" code="gameapp.class" archive="gameapp.jar">
<param name="SIZE_SCALE" value="1.0" />
If you see this message you do not have Java enabled or do not have Java installed.</br><a href="http://wwww.java.com">Please see Java.com</a> to download the latest version of Java.</a>
</applet>
</pre>

Note that the page could have also written the tag dynamically which means that you wouldn't be able to find it by just checking its source. In this case you would use your browser's "Inspect Element" option and search for it there.
</li>

<li>
In your Flashpoint Core directory, go to the <code>Curate</code> tab and press the <code>New Curation</code> button on the top right corner. In the <code>content</code> folder, create a series of directories that match the original site's structure. In this case, we'd create four directories, each inside the previous one: <code>www.miniclip.com\games\real-space-2\en\</code>
</li>

[[File:Java curation path.png|center|What the file structure would look like in the content folder]]

<li>
Navigate to the last directory (in this case <code>\en\</code>) and create the HTML file that will contain the applet tag we found in step 1. You should give it the same name as the original site. In the case there isn't one, you can just create a file called <code>index.html</code>.
</li>

<li>
Open the file you've just created in a text editor and paste the applet tag in there.

<pre>
<applet width="500" height="500" code="gameapp.class" archive="gameapp.jar">
<param name="SIZE_SCALE" value="1.0" />
</applet>
</pre>
</li>

<li>
Enter the game's title, platform, application path, and launch command in the respective text fields. In this case, they would be:

<pre>
Title: Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge
Platform: Java
Application Path: FPSoftware\startJava.bat
Launch Command: http://www.miniclip.com/games/real-space-2/en/index.html
</pre>

The platform should be the same for all Java curations. Make sure that the launch command starts with http:// and '''not''' https://

<li>
Run the game initially and look at the '''Logs''' tab in the Flashpoint launcher to see what assets the game is requesting. Download the game's assets (code, images, sounds, etc) and put them in the correct directories so that they also match the original site's structure. It's possible that all the files needed are inside the archive (called gameapp.jar here). If they were and we didn't need any additional files then we could move onto the next step.

However, for this and most other Java games, the archive only has the game's code. We still need to download the rest of the assets. This can be done in several ways, including:

* Downloading these files manually by pasting their URLs into a web browser.
* Using a tool like [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|wget or cURLsDownloader]] to download the assets from specific URLs. This is especially useful if you want to download the files from the Wayback Machine (see [[#Finding Java applets in the Wayback Machine|this section]] for more details).
* Using a tool that automatically downloads these files from the original site as they're requested by the game. See the [[MAD4FP]] page for more details on how to do this.

[[File:java_curation_example_launcher_logs.png|center|Some of the files requested by "Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge" in the Logs tab of the Flashpoint launcher.]]
</li>

<li>
You can now test your curation in Flashpoint Core. You can start the game by pressing the <code>Run</code> button at the bottom of your new curation. You should now see the game running in the AppletViewer:

[[File:java_curation_example.png|center|300px|"Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge" running in the AppletViewer.]]
</li>

<li>
Fill the rest of the fields and submit your curation by following the [[Curation Format]]. For more information on how to curate games for Flashpoint, refer to the [[Curation Tutorial]].
</li>
</ol>

== Curation tips ==

<ul>

<li>
You may sometimes see a parameter in the applet tag called <code>cabbase</code> that specifies a CAB file. This was used to allow the same applet to run in different browsers - Netscape Navigator would download the JAR or ZIP in the archive attribute while Internet Explorer would download the CAB in the cabbase parameter. Although the AppletViewer doesn't request this file, you should still include it in your submission for preservation's sake.
</li>

<li>
The AppletViewer ignores everything in the file it reads except for the tags that embed a Java applet. You can see the tag that was read by the AppletViewer by going to <code>Applet > Tag...</code>.
</li>

<li>
You can sometimes find more information about the author, version and copyright of an applet by going to <code>Applet > Info...</code> in the AppletViewer.
</li>

<li>
Be aware of how HTML comments can affect the parameters specified in the applet tag. For example:
<pre>
<applet code="game.class" width="100" height="100">
<param name="param1" value="abc">

</applet>
</pre>
If you run the applet in the AppletViewer using <code>startJava.bat</code>, both parameters are set. Otherwise, if you run it in a browser using <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, only <code>param1</code> is set.
</li>

<li>
If a Java game requests external assets during gameplay and you don't have time to play through the entire game, try opening the game's .class or .jar files with a Java decompiler such as JD-GUI. Images and sounds are often loaded using [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#getImage-java.net.URL- <code>Applet.getImage()</code>] and [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#getAudioClip-java.net.URL- <code>Applet.getAudioClip()</code>], respectively. Alternatively, you can open them in a hex editor such as HxD, though this will make it hard to know how and when the game is requesting assets. References to external assets are often plain text strings, so you may try searching for common asset types such as .gif and .jpg images or .au sounds.<br>Regardless of the method used, you can make a list of these assets, then download them from the internet and add them to the game's directory. All of these tools are linked in [[#Useful tools and resources|this section]].
</li>

</ul>

== Application paths ==

This section will list all the possible values for the <code>Application Path</code> field in the metadata and launcher. Both of these currently use Java 8 update 181. If you encounter any problems that you think might be solved by using an older Java version, read the steps in the [[#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting section]] first. Note that Flashpoint doesn't currently support Java Web Start or Microsoft Java.

=== startJava.bat ===

Use <code>FPSoftware\startJava.bat</code> to run the applet in the AppletViewer (as we saw in [[#Curation Steps|the example above]]). If you use this application path, put the URL to the file that contains the <code><applet></code> tag in the <code>Launch Command</code> field. For example:

<pre>
Application Path: FPSoftware\startJava.bat
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html
</pre>

If the URL contains spaces, replace them with <code>%20</code>. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index%20with%20spaces.html
</pre>

You can also pass extra command line arguments to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) by placing them '''after''' the URL. These options must be prefixed with '''-J'''. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.country=US
</pre>
Read the [[#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting section]] to see how these may be used to solve some common problems.

If the URL contains an ampersand character (&), wrap it in double quotes. This happens when you use PHP to set certain parameters dynamically in the applet tag. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: "http://www.example.com/game/index.php?param1=value1&param2=value2"
</pre>
Where "value1" and "value2" could change what the parameters are set to.

=== startJavaInBrowser.bat ===

Use <code>FPSoftware\startJavaInBrowser.bat</code> to run the applet in a browser. Unlike the application path mentioned above, you don't have to necessarily put the URL to the file that contains the <code><applet></code> tag in the <code>Launch Command</code> field. For example:

<pre>
Application Path: FPSoftware\startJavaInBrowser.bat
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html
</pre>

The previous notes about the launch commands also apply, with the exception of the extra command line arguments. If you use <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, these options are '''not''' prefixed with '''-J'''. For example:
<pre>
Launch Command: http://www.example.com/game/index.html -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US
</pre>

In addition to this, you '''must''' always follow the next two steps. These will ensure that the applet is allowed to run in its domain with the correct Java version.

<ol>

<li>
Add the game's domain to the end of the exception site list file in <code>FPSoftware\Java\JDK_1.8.0_181\jre\lib\exception.sites</code>. For this example, this would be <code><nowiki>http://www.example.com/</nowiki></code>. If you're curating multiple games from the same domain, you only have to do this once. Be sure to include this information in the <code>Curation Notes</code> field in the metadata. For example:
<pre>
Before testing the game, add http://www.example.com/ to the exception site list file in FPSoftware\Java\JDK_1.8.0_181\jre\lib\exception.sites
</pre>
</li>

<li>
Add these two parameters to the <code><applet></code> tag:
<pre>
<param name="java_version" value="1.8.0_181">
<param name="separate_jvm" value="true">
</pre>
If the applet uses an <code><embed></code> tag instead, these parameters would look like:
<pre>
<embed java_version="1.8.0_181" separate_jvm="true">
</pre>
These parameters have no effect if the same applet is launched in the AppletViewer via <code>startJava.bat</code>.
</li>

</ol>

Every applet that runs in a browser will show a security prompt that must be accepted before starting. To make this clear to Flashpoint users, add the following to the beginning of the <code>Game Notes</code> field in the metadata:
<pre>
This Java game will run in a browser. Make sure to accept any security prompts that show up while playing.
</pre>

<gallery mode="packed">

Image:java_browser_curation_blocked_example.png|The security prompt that shows up if the applet's domain isn't added to the exception site list.

Image:java_browser_curation_warning_example.png|The security prompt that asks the user to allow the applet to run.

Image:java_browser_curation_certificate_warning_example.png|Another security prompt that asks the user to allow the applet to run. This one only appears if the applet includes an expired certificate.

</gallery>

Since in-browser Java applets are currently only supported on Windows, you should provide an option to launch them in the AppletViewer (if possible). You can do so by making an additional application called <code>Play in the AppletViewer</code> with the <code>startJava.bat</code> application path, and by adding the following to the <code>Game Notes</code> field in the metadata:
<pre>
If playing in a browser doesn't work, try using the "Play in the AppletViewer" option under Additional Applications.
</pre>

==== When to run applets in a browser ====

You should run Java applets in a browser if any of the following conditions are met:
* The page has two or more applets that communicate via JavaScript. Note that it's possible for multiple applets to communicate with each other using the AppletViewer, provided they do so using the [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/applet/AppletContext.html#getApplet-java.lang.String- <code>AppletContext.getApplet()</code>] method.
* The applet relies on page element interaction (e.g. pressing buttons) to be played.
* The applet uses browser cookies to save the game's progress. These are saved and loaded using JavaScript.
* The page contains other multimedia elements that enhance the experience. For example, the page might embed Flash or Shockwave movies, or play music (MIDI, MOD).
These aren't hard requirements, you can curate any applet using <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code> if you feel like it captures the original experience. If you decide to curate an applet using this application path, you should also include any other assets (images, sounds) that are embedded on the same page.

==== Browser curation tips ====

<ul>

<li>
If some JavaScript code on the page is meant to interact with the applet, you should check how it's doing so. Older applets may rely on old JavaScript functionalities that modern browsers don't support. For example, in the game Urbanoids, the player has to click a button on the page to start the game:
<pre>
function start_it() {
document.game.clickStart();
}

<applet code="noids.class" width=240 height=263 name="game">
<param name="java_version" value="1.8.0_181">
<param name="separate_jvm" value="true">
</applet>
</pre>
This wouldn't work because the applet tag uses the attribute <code>name</code>. To fix this, we would need to change it to <code>id</code>:
<pre>
<applet code="noids.class" width=240 height=263 id="game">
</pre>
</li>

<li>
If the web page tries to play MIDI or WAV audio using the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/bgsound <code><bgsound></code>] tag, you must convert it to an equivalent <code><embed></code> or <code><audio></code> tag:
<pre>
<bgsound src="game.mid" loop="infinite">
<embed type="audio/midi" src="game.mid" loop="true" autostart="true" hidden="true">

<bgsound src="game.wav" loop="infinite">
<audio src="game.wav" loop autoplay></audio>
</pre>
Since <code><bgsound></code> is ignored outside of Internet Explorer, you should keep it alongside the new tags for future reference.
</li>

</ul>

== Debugging Java applets ==

If an applet doesn't seem to be working properly, check if any error occurs while it's running. You can see what the applet writes to the standard output and error output by editing the batch files specified in the Application Path. It's highly recommended that you enable these features when curating Java applets.

=== startJava.bat ===

Open <code>FPSoftware\startJava.bat</code> and change <code>"java"</code> to <code>"javadebug"</code> in the following line:
<pre>
FlashpointSecurePlayer -n "java" -sw %*
</pre>

A separate window containing the applet's output will now show up everytime you run the AppletViewer.

=== startJavaInBrowser.bat ===

Open <code>FPSoftware\startJavaInBrowser.bat</code> and change <code>OFF</code> to <code>ON</code> in the following line:
<pre>
SET FLASHPOINT_DEBUG_MODE=OFF
</pre>

This will always show the Java console when the applet runs and will place a Java icon in the system tray, which you can use to bring up the console at any time.

== Finding Java applets in the Wayback Machine ==

Since Java applets were first introduced in 1995, it can sometimes be hard to locate files belonging to older games. This section will show you how to more easily find these by using the [https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback/tree/master/wayback-cdx-server Wayback CDX Server API]. For example, if you wanted to see what Java games hosted on Shockwave.com were saved by the Wayback Machine, you could use the following query:
<pre>
https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=*.shockwave.com/&filter=original:.*(\.class|\.jar|\.zip|\.cab|\.au).*&fl=original,timestamp,statuscode&collapse=urlkey
</pre>
Where:
* <code>url=*.shockwave.com/</code> says to search in every Shockwave.com subdomain.
* <code>filter=original:.*(\.class|\.jar|\.zip|\.cab|\.au).*</code> says to only show the URLs that contain these file extensions: .class, .jar, .zip, .cab, and .au.
* <code>fl=original,timestamp,statuscode</code> says to show three fields in this order: the URL, timestamp, and HTTP status code.
* <code>collapse=urlkey</code> says to only show unique URLs.
Now that we have this list, we can scan it for Java games. For example, the game Cubis:
<pre>
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/cubis.jar 20180828052922 200
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/sounds/allcubes.au 20180828054857 200
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/sounds/blank.au 20180828055355 200
</pre>
Note that this game also uses .jpg and .gif images. We didn't include these file extensions in the query above since it would also include every unrelated image from Shockwave.com. Now that we know where to look, we can locate every file in the game's directory with the following query:
<pre>
https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/*&fl=original&collapse=urlkey
</pre>
Where:
* <code>url=www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/*</code> says to show every URL with that prefix.
We can now see the additional files that were excluded by the first query:
<pre>
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/o_solid.gif
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/panel.jpg
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/piece_marker.gif
http://www.shockwave.com/content/cubis/sis/images/rim_b.jpg
</pre>
To download these assets for your Java curation, create a text file with these URLs and then add <code><nowiki>http://web.archive.org/web/1id_/</nowiki></code> to the beginning of each one. The <code>1id_</code> segment tells the Wayback Machine to use the original file, without any modifications. Then, drag the text file onto the [[Helpful Tools#Software for Archiving|cURLsDownloader]] tool to start downloading them (read its help file for more details). For more information on the Wayback CDX Server API, refer to the [https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback/tree/master/wayback-cdx-server documentation on its GitHub].

== Useful tools and resources ==

This section will link to external tools and resources that may be useful to learn more about the technology or to try to get certain games and animations working.

* API Specification for [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/ Java SE 8].

* AppletViewer: [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/appletviewer.html general documentation], [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/appletviewertags.html how it handles different tags]

* Decompilers: [https://github.com/java-decompiler/jd-gui/releases JD-GUI], [https://github.com/deathmarine/Luyten/releases Luyten]

* Bytecode Editors: [http://dirty-joe.com/ dirtyJOE], [https://github.com/GraxCode/JByteMod-Beta/releases JByteMod]. Always check if there's a simpler way to get Java applets working. Only modify the original files as a last resort!

See also: [[Helpful Tools]].

== Troubleshooting ==

This section will cover some of the problems that may arise when curating Java games and animations. It's highly recommended that you enable the [[#Debugging Java applets|debugging options mentioned above]] when curating Java applets. If you're experiencing an issue not mentioned in this section be sure to ask for help in the <code>#curator-lounge</code> channel in the Flashpoint Discord server.

=== The applet closes immediately when I try to run it ===

The AppletViewer will close immediately if it can't find the specified file or if this file doesn't have an applet tag. You should check if the launch command is correct and if the file has a valid applet tag in it.

=== The applet is trying to request files that are suspiciously missing from the original site ===

If the class files are packaged in JAR or ZIP archives, be sure to open them and check if the missing files are there. If they are, extract them to the same directory as the archive. Some Java games have trouble loading assets from inside these archives and will instead try to load them externally. Note that you'll never have to extract class files.

=== The applet isn't displaying certain characters correctly ===

Try setting the correct character encoding and locale properties in the AppletViewer. For example, if a game from GeoCities Japan needed to display Japanese characters, you would add '''all''' of the following to the end of the game's launch command: <code>-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -J-Duser.language=ja -J-Duser.country=JP</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, remove the '''-J''' prefix.

[[File:java_character_encoding_comparision.png|center|thumb|A comparision between using the English locale (left) and the Japanese locale (right)]]

You can also see what the current character encoding and locale settings are in the AppletViewer by using <code>-J-XshowSettings</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, don't use this option. Instead, [[#startJavaInBrowser.bat_2 | enable the Java console]] and press 's' to show the current settings.

If you would like to know more about which character encodings and locales are supported in Java 8, see:
* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html
* https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/java8locales-2095355.html

=== The applet ignores the Tab key's input ===

If the applet doesn't seem to be registering the Tab key's input, then follow the next steps:

# Download '''[https://bluepload.unstable.life/flashpoint-java-wrappers-v3.zip this ZIP]''' which contains a wrapper applet that will fix this problem before loading the main applet.
# Put <code>FlashpointDisableFocusTraversalKeysWrapperApplet.class</code> next to the applet's class files or archives.
# Add the following parameter to the applet tag: <code><param name="flashpointClassToLoad" value=""></code>, where the value is the one specified in the code attribute. Remove the trailing <code>.class</code> if there is one.
# Change the code attribute to <code>FlashpointDisableFocusTraversalKeysWrapperApplet</code>. The wrapper applet will run before loading the main one.

This wrapper disables all forward and backwards focus traversal keys (like Tab and Shift-Tab), so that these key events become available to the key event listeners. These keys would normally be used to change the keyboard focus in components like buttons and text fields. Applets affected by this problem expect the Tab key's input to work since they were made before Java 1.4 (2002) where this change was introduced.

Here's an example of a modified applet tag from the game Teslatron, where the second player uses the Tab key to drop bombs:

<pre>
<applet code="FlashpointDisableFocusTraversalKeysWrapperApplet" width="523" height="367" archive="client_hacked.zip">
<param name="flashpointClassToLoad" value="client.RobombClient">

<param name="cabbase" value="client.cab">
<param name="game" value="123">
<param name="on-site" value="true">
<param name="noPlayers" value="2">
</applet>
</pre>

For more information on key listeners and focus traversal keys in Java, see the following pages:

* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/keylistener.html (in particular the first version note)
* https://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/2244591/Changing-Focus-Traversal-Keys-in-Java-V14.htm

=== The applet doesn't work properly in the AppletViewer and shows the following error: netscape.javascript.JSException ===

This means that the applet wants to interface with the browser, likely trying to execute some JavaScript code. This error may be ignored in some cases. For example, an applet that uses JavaScript to track the number of times the game has been played. If this doesn't impact the gameplay or show any side effects, you can safetly ignore it. Otherwise, you will need to run the applet in a browser. Refer to [[#startJavaInBrowser.bat|this section]] to learn how to do it.

=== The applet doesn't start and shows the following error: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value 1008813135 in class file ===

This error means that the class file is in fact just an HTML file. This is likely due to being served a 404 page because the class file is missing. Try opening the file in a text editor or browser to confirm this. The value 1008813135 represents <code><!DO</code>, in other words, the start of an HTML <code><!DOCTYPE></code> declaration. You may see a different magic value in the error depending on the wrong type of file you were served. The class file format is always supposed to have 3405691582 (0xCAFEBABE in hexadecimal) as the first four bytes.

=== The applet doesn't start and shows the following error: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Name index 0 in LocalVariableTable has bad constant type in class file ===

This error means that Java encountered a problem while checking if the class file is formatted correctly. You can fix this by adding the following option to the end of the launch command: <code>-J-Xverify:none</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, use <code>-Xverify:none</code> instead.

This command line argument tells Java to skip the bytecode verification step, meaning this error will be ignored and the applet can continue running. Note that this should be done sparingly, and only when you know it's an error of this nature. You should always check if the applet works correctly after using it.

This same fix also applies to the following errors:
<pre>
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid start_pc 65535 in LocalVariableTable in class file
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal field name "?" in class
</pre>

More information about this error: when [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html compiling Java source files], you can specify certain debug options, one of which generates information about the local variables of each method (the LocalVariableTable attribute). This error happens when there's a single LocalVariableTable that is invalid according to the [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.13 class file format]. It seems to be most common with applets in the late 1990s and early 2000s which were compiled using older Java versions.

[[File:java_dirtyjoe_localvariabletable_comparision.png|center|thumb|A comparision between a normal LocalVariableTable (left) and an invalid one (right) using [http://dirty-joe.com/ dirtyJOE]. Notice the use of an [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.3.2 invalid descriptor] (NULL) in this last one.]]

== Developer specific troubleshooting ==

This section will cover some problems that commonly show up when curating Java games and animations from specific developers. This might also be useful if you're experiencing similar issues in applets made by developers that aren't listed here. If you're experiencing an issue not mentioned in this section be sure to ask for help in the <code>#curator-lounge</code> channel in the Flashpoint Discord server.

=== MumboJumbo ===

If a game crashes after your score reaches 1,000 points, try changing the locale property to English (US). You can do this by adding the following '''after''' the game's launch command: <code>-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.country=US</code>. If you're running the applet in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, remove the '''-J''' prefix.

Note that you won't experience this issue if this is already your default locale. To avoid curating a game that might crash for another player, try playing the game with the following locale settings: <code>-J-Duser.language=es -J-Duser.country=ES</code>. You can also see what the current character encoding and locale settings are in the AppletViewer by using <code>-J-XshowSettings</code>. If you're running the game in a browser with <code>startJavaInBrowser.bat</code>, don't use this option. Instead, [[#startJavaInBrowser.bat_2 | enable the Java console]] and press 's' to show the current settings.

Why this happens: the game uses [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/NumberFormat.html#getInstance-- <code>NumberFormat.getInstance()</code>] to get a number format to format the player's score. This method uses the default locale, meaning that a number like one thousand is formatted as either <code>1,000</code> or <code>1.000</code> [https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-0169/overview-9/index.html depending on your locale]. The game's score font data is only defined for the numbers 0 through 9 and the comma, but not for the period. While the game is iterating over the formatted score string, the image data relative to the period will be returned as null, causing the game to eventually throw a NullPointerException when it accesses the image's attributes.

=== GameHouse ===

GameHouse Java games are both site and time locked, which means that they can only be played in certain domains and before a certain date. These game check where and when they're being played by requesting a file called <code>license.txt</code> which contains one or more license keys. Each key is associated with a domain name and expiration date. The idea was that game portals like Shockwave.com or Yahoo! Games would pay GameHouse to renew their licenses. If a game detects that it's being played after this date, then it won't start and will print the following:
<pre>
Init 2.4
Date Value 1567034208000
Please Contact GameHouse, Inc. for configuration instructions.
</pre>

If you're collecting a game's assets by using a tool like [[MAD4FP]], you can set your system clock to the year 2000 before running it.

If you already have all the game's assets and want to curate it, change the contents of the <code>license.txt</code> to the following:

<pre>
#gamehouse.com
Ajeaarvtzvfaapntzpjtziftzjgaakwszrgaabgaachaariszmesz
</pre>

After doing this, you have to move the assets to <code>gamehouse.com</code> (and not www.gamehouse.com). This new license key has no date associated with it, and was meant for GameHouse to host their own games without having to worry about expiration dates. Since you are moving the files from their original source, you can use the following directory structure: <code>gamehouse.com\Java\GameName</code>.

If you'd like to learn more about GameHouse's Java games installation instructions, see [https://web.archive.org/web/20190827130108id_/http://www.cyberkids.com/fg/gamehouse/JavaGameIntstall.txt this page].

Tyefyedye: /* Content Warnings */

{{TOC_limit|limit=2}}

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 the category headers as tags too (except ''Themes'', ''Content Warnings'', ''Animations'', ''Franchises'' and ''Game Engines''). 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.

Tyefyedye: /* Content Warnings */ Added Volume Warning tag

{{TOC_limit|limit=2}}

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 the category headers as tags too (except ''Themes'', ''Content Warnings'', ''Animations'', ''Franchises'' and ''Game Engines''). 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.

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.

Tyefyedye: Add Defense 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 the category headers as tags too (except ''Themes'', ''Content Warnings'', ''Animations'', ''Franchises'' and ''Game Engines''). 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.

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.

Technologies to Add

2020-08-28T00:38:55Z

Tyefyedye: Moved VRML, TCL, and Burster to Added Technologies section

This is a list of web game technologies that we hope to support in the future. If you'd like to help us add one of these technologies to Flashpoint, please join the #development-chat channel in our Discord.

Here are some places to find more technologies to add to Flashpoint:

[http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows-all.html mozdev.org - Windows PluginDoc] [https://web.archive.org/web/20200702/http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows-all.html]

== QuickTime VR ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_VR

=== Download Links ===
https://support.apple.com/downloads/quicktime

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/quicktime/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_VR

=== Example Games/Applications ===
https://www.virtualparks.org/scenes/ZvSeIxFqURTrIKUDkLjAFyA.html

http://www.middlestreet.org/cabinet/sebacub.htm

=== Problems Encountered ===
Uses the Windows system directory and is not portable.

=== Notes ===
The latest version available on apple.com requires Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Service Pack 1 MFC.

Both Apple Application Support and QuickTime are required. Registry entries point to their locations.

Registry files: [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/708149898729488414/apple.reg apple.reg] [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/708149900696617070/quicktime.reg quicktime.reg]

Not all data in quicktime.reg is likely needed.

In Flashpoint, Basilisk is currently configured to disable QuickTime by default to avoid conflicts.

Some of the npqtplugin.dll files may interfere with other video/audio plugins or built-in behavior. It may make sense to have the QuickTime plugin available only when viewing a QuickTime curation. Basilisk's built-in MIME type configuration dialog can also be used to choose what plugins are used for different types of content.

== Atomic 3D / Neutron Viewer ==

[http://martinsant.net/games/dice/ Dice in a Stone Box]

[http://a3p.sourceforge.net/play/ A3P - Acquire, Attack, Asplode, Pwn!] - tries to install Python and crashes

=== Problems Encountered ===
Has a huge number of runtime components that are downloaded and installed on demand. They are listed here:
http://runtime.panda3d.org/contents.xml

The runtime components are all available from this open directory:
http://runtime.panda3d.org/

== MDL Chime ==

=== Problems Encountered ===
"[6708:11872:0517/190417:ERROR:nacl_process_host.cc(215)] DuplicateHandle() failed" on Chromium 40

.nexe <s>and .pexe</s> files get downloaded by the browser, but don't start.

<s>Slimjet 10 can't see the PNaCl compiler plugin when running through a proxy. (See chrome://components)</s> (That was because the compiler was not in the user folder)

== Grail ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grail_(web_browser)

=== Download Links ===
https://sourceforge.net/projects/grail/files/grail/0.6/grail-0.6.tgz/download

=== Example Games/Applications ===
http://grail.sourceforge.net/demo/

=== Problems Encountered ===
<s> "TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:" error when trying to run Grail </s> (Solved)

<s> "An exception occurred during applet loading : exceptions.TypeError: compile, argument 1: expected string without null bytes, string found" error on all official Grail demo applets, except for Clocks, Play A Sound File, Demos Similar to Common Java Demos, Show Grail's Applet Exception Handling, Calendar and A Little Joke. </s> (That's because Grail can't decrypt gzipped http packets)

"An error occurred in a callback function : audiodev.error : no audio device" error if trying to play a sound in Play A Sound File. It's possible the audio files don't exist where they originally existed.

=== Notes ===
Old versions of Python and Tcl/Tk are required. These may work:

Python 1.5.2: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/win32/py152.exe

Tcl/Tk: ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/win/tcltk80p2+.exe

Alternatively, an all-in-one package can be used instead.

All-in-one packages: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/711328321819902083/Grail.7z, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/711588211222118450/Grail_but_More_Portable.7z (more portable version)

=== Problems Encountered ===
Can't find C:\Program on PATH.

Exception "Exception":

windres failed, cannot create Windows resource

=== Further notes ===
No precompiled builds are available yet. As such, you may have to download any of the following files to compile the plugin:

Lazarus: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2032%20bits/ (it might be best to download the version with the highest version number)

Free Pascal (included with Lazarus, but also linked to separately in case that helps get the plugin compiled): https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Win32/

Castle Game Engine: https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/releases/tag/snapshot

== Tulip 3D ==

https://web.archive.org/web/20020928152956/http://www.tulip-software.org/

(Note: It's unclear whether these two links reference the same plugin or two different plugins with Tulip in the name)

== Adobe Atmosphere ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Atmosphere

=== Download links ===

Latest plugin: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://download.adobe.com:80/pub/adobe/atmosphere/win/2.x/AtmospherePlayer216.exe

Standalone version: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://download.adobe.com:80/pub/adobe/atmosphere/win/sa_player/atmosphere_saplayer.exe

=== Example Games/Applications ===

* http://www.1ec5.org/3d/worlds.html
* http://www.1ec5.org/3d/mingerworld/
* http://www.wedding2004.net/photography/
* http://amasci.com/atmos.html
* http://www.trucker2000.net/directory.html
* http://www.it-quadrat.de/atmosphere/

=== Problems Encountered ===

* <del>The Javascript used by Galleries doesn't seem to work in newer IE. Curation guide might need to specify replacing the gallery's Javascript with code to create the <code><object></code> tag. This appears to because of a use of VBScript. VBScript can be reenabled via registry, or it might be cleaner to replace the JS.</del> VBScript and galleries work fine as-is in Flashpoint Secure Player.
* Some older Atmosphere worlds don't work in the plugin. Newer worlds (including galleries) won't work fully in the standalone player.
* Low FPS. Can seemingly be fixed by changing "Throttle when not active". Hardware acceleration can be added by editing a text file, but it results in oddities in the tic tac toe world (http://www.it-quadrat.de/ttt/ttt3d/ttt.aer)
* Cannot point plugin directly at an <code>.aer</code> file, an <code><object></code> tag must be used. (This is an original Adobe Atmosphere limitation)
* Some worlds automatically close chat. Some other worlds put useful information in the chat. The chat open/closed preference is saved, so worlds with chat should probably have some code to open chat embedded.
* Excessive caching may be a possibility.
* Stairs are tricky to climb. Could be related to missing avatars? Might want to include default avatar in htdocs.

==LIVEMATH==
https://www.livemath.com/lmplugin/

===Example Games/Applications===

* https://ae.msstate.edu/vlsm/forcesys/concurrent_force_systems/livemath_examples/livemath_ex2.htm
* http://www.distancemath.com/preview/unit1/mvgrapher.htm

== O3D ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3D

A proposal by Google for a standard 3D API for the Web. WebGL supplanted it. Google eventually wrote a WebGL version of O3D, but conversion is not automatic and the Beach demo was not converted

=== Download links ===

No known trustworthy downloads, although source code exists.

https://www.zhaodll.co/n/20130417/158957.html was tested and works, but the site is sketchy.

=== Example Games/Applications ===

* https://code.google.com/archive/p/o3d/downloads

== Rebol ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebol

Plugin for a cross-platform programming language. Unfortunately the plugin only works in Internet Explorer.

=== Download Links ===

http://www.rebol.com/plugin/rebolb6.cab

=== Example Games/Applications ===

=== Notes ===
Browser plugins (at least the NPAPI one, didn't check ActiveX) seem to look for Pulse by using ShGetFolderPathA to find CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE | CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES if that function exists (and if not, looking at a Registry entry).

Some files seem to need a command sent to the plugin (for example, Fozzie needs "play obj=Dummy01 pkg=assets/fozzie/Package2.pws transition=0.30 heading=yes behave=joke"). The NPAPI version of the plugin looks like it relies on LiveConnect, which might not be supported in Basilisk.

Flux Player 2.1 is stuck loading under TheWorld 3.5.03

Too many players with variations: Which ones should get included?

<del>Live3D: Crashes on page navigation</del> resolvable by using in Netscape 4

Cosmo Player: Struggles with large worlds. Direct3D renderer (the default) seems to cause dropped polygons (in Mod Gun and Beat Monk Bash at least) and drifting cameras (in Mod Dance Party) and wrongly rendering textures (in Dilbert animation I Think Therefore I Am). Have been unable to get software renderer to work. OpenGL renderer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CosmoSoftware\CosmoPlayer\2.1.1\renderer = OPENGL) seems to work fine on one system, needs testing before any decision to hardcode.

Blaxxun Contact 4.4: If a world has sounds but a sound has not played yet, low FPS. This seems to occur in a full install too.

Blaxxun Contact 4.4: Some worlds rely on RealPlayer G2. Include in Blaxxun config? Example world: http://www.e-spaces.com/portfolio/ssg/vrml/main.wrl

Technologies to Add

2020-08-19T11:58:55Z

Tyefyedye: /* Example Games/Applications */

This is a list of web game technologies that we hope to support in the future. If you'd like to help us add one of these technologies to Flashpoint, please join the #development-chat channel in our Discord.

Here are some places to find more technologies to add to Flashpoint:

== QuickTime VR ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_VR

=== Download Links ===
https://support.apple.com/downloads/quicktime

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/quicktime/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_VR

=== Example Games/Applications ===
https://www.virtualparks.org/scenes/ZvSeIxFqURTrIKUDkLjAFyA.html

http://www.middlestreet.org/cabinet/sebacub.htm

=== Problems Encountered ===
Uses the Windows system directory and is not portable.

=== Notes ===
The latest version available on apple.com requires Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Service Pack 1 MFC.

Both Apple Application Support and QuickTime are required. Registry entries point to their locations.

Registry files: [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/708149898729488414/apple.reg apple.reg] [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/708149900696617070/quicktime.reg quicktime.reg]

Not all data in quicktime.reg is likely needed.

In Flashpoint, Basilisk is currently configured to disable QuickTime by default to avoid conflicts.

Some of the npqtplugin.dll files may interfere with other video/audio plugins or built-in behavior. It may make sense to have the QuickTime plugin available only when viewing a QuickTime curation. Basilisk's built-in MIME type configuration dialog can also be used to choose what plugins are used for different types of content.

=== Problems Encountered ===
Flux Player 2.1 is stuck loading under TheWorld 3.5.03

Too many players with variations: Which ones should get included?

<del>Live3D: Crashes on page navigation</del> resolvable by using in Netscape 4

Cosmo Player: Struggles with large worlds. Direct3D renderer (the default) seems to cause dropped polygons (in Mod Gun and Beat Monk Bash at least) and drifting cameras (in Mod Dance Party) and wrongly rendering textures (in Dilbert animation I Think Therefore I Am). Have been unable to get software renderer to work. OpenGL renderer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CosmoSoftware\CosmoPlayer\2.1.1\renderer = OPENGL) seems to work fine on one system, needs testing before any decision to hardcode.

Blaxxun Contact 4.4: If a world has sounds but a sound has not played yet, low FPS. This seems to occur in a full install too.

== Grail ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grail_(web_browser)

=== Download Links ===
https://sourceforge.net/projects/grail/files/grail/0.6/grail-0.6.tgz/download

=== Example Games/Applications ===
http://grail.sourceforge.net/demo/

=== Problems Encountered ===
<s> "TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:" error when trying to run Grail </s> (Solved)

<s> "An exception occurred during applet loading : exceptions.TypeError: compile, argument 1: expected string without null bytes, string found" error on all official Grail demo applets, except for Clocks, Play A Sound File, Demos Similar to Common Java Demos, Show Grail's Applet Exception Handling, Calendar and A Little Joke. </s> (That's because Grail can't decrypt gzipped http packets)

"An error occurred in a callback function : audiodev.error : no audio device" error if trying to play a sound in Play A Sound File. It's possible the audio files don't exist where they originally existed.

=== Notes ===
Old versions of Python and Tcl/Tk are required. These may work:

Python 1.5.2: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/win32/py152.exe

Tcl/Tk: ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/win/tcltk80p2+.exe

Alternatively, an all-in-one package can be used instead.

All-in-one packages: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/711328321819902083/Grail.7z, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/711588211222118450/Grail_but_More_Portable.7z (more portable version)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/442282445098844177/712673109303623760/cge_3d_viewer.7z

=== Problems Encountered ===
Can't find C:\Program on PATH.

Exception "Exception":

windres failed, cannot create Windows resource

=== Further notes ===
No precompiled builds are available yet. As such, you may have to download any of the following files to compile the plugin:

Lazarus: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2032%20bits/ (it might be best to download the version with the highest version number)

Free Pascal (included with Lazarus, but also linked to separately in case that helps get the plugin compiled): https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Win32/

Castle Game Engine: https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/releases/tag/snapshot

== Tulip 3D ==

http://web.archive.org/web/20021002220716/http://www.exstream.to/

https://web.archive.org/web/20020928152956/http://www.tulip-software.org/

(Note: It's unclear whether these two links reference the same plugin or two different plugins with Tulip in the name)

== Adobe Atmosphere ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Atmosphere

=== Download links ===

Latest plugin: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://download.adobe.com:80/pub/adobe/atmosphere/win/2.x/AtmospherePlayer216.exe

Standalone version: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://download.adobe.com:80/pub/adobe/atmosphere/win/sa_player/atmosphere_saplayer.exe

=== Example Games/Applications ===

* http://www.1ec5.org/3d/worlds.html
* http://www.1ec5.org/3d/mingerworld/
* http://www.wedding2004.net/photography/
* http://amasci.com/atmos.html
* http://www.trucker2000.net/directory.html
* http://www.it-quadrat.de/atmosphere/

=== Problems Encountered ===

* <del>The Javascript used by Galleries doesn't seem to work in newer IE. Curation guide might need to specify replacing the gallery's Javascript with code to create the <code><object></code> tag. This appears to because of a use of VBScript. VBScript can be reenabled via registry, or it might be cleaner to replace the JS.</del> VBScript and galleries work fine as-is in Flashpoint Secure Player.
* Some older Atmosphere worlds don't work in the plugin. Newer worlds (including galleries) won't work fully in the standalone player.
* Low FPS. Can seemingly be fixed by changing "Throttle when not active". Hardware acceleration can be added by editing a text file, but it results in oddities in the tic tac toe world (http://www.it-quadrat.de/ttt/ttt3d/ttt.aer)
* Cannot point plugin directly at an <code>.aer</code> file, an <code><object></code> tag must be used. (This is an original Adobe Atmosphere limitation)
* Some worlds automatically close chat. Some other worlds put useful information in the chat. The chat open/closed preference is saved, so worlds with chat should probably have some code to open chat embedded.
* Excessive caching may be a possibility.
* Stairs are tricky to climb. Could be related to missing avatars? Might want to include default avatar in htdocs.

==LIVEMATH==

* https://ae.msstate.edu/vlsm/forcesys/concurrent_force_systems/livemath_examples/livemath_ex2.htm
* http://www.distancemath.com/preview/unit1/mvgrapher.htm

== O3D ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3D

A proposal by Google for a standard 3D API for the Web. WebGL supplanted it. Google eventually wrote a WebGL version of O3D, but conversion is not automatic and the Beach demo was not converted

=== Notes ===
Browser plugins (at least the NPAPI one, didn't check ActiveX) seem to look for Pulse by using ShGetFolderPathA to find CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE | CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES if that function exists (and if not, looking at a Registry entry).

Some files seem to need a command sent to the plugin (for example, Fozzie needs "play obj=Dummy01 pkg=assets/fozzie/Package2.pws transition=0.30 heading=yes behave=joke"). The NPAPI version of the plugin looks like it relies on LiveConnect, which might not be supported in Basilisk.

=== Problems Encountered ===

* <del>The Javascript used by Galleries doesn't seem to work in newer IE. Curation guide might need to specify replacing the gallery's Javascript with code to create the <code><object></code> tag. This appears to because of a use of VBScript. VBScript can be reenabled via registry, or it might be cleaner to replace the JS.</del> VBScript and galleries work fine as-is in Flashpoint Secure Player.
* Some older Atmosphere worlds don't work in the plugin. Newer worlds (including galleries) won't work fully in the standalone player.
* Low FPS. Can seemingly be fixed by changing "Throttle when not active". Hardware acceleration can be added by editing a text file, but it results in oddities in the tic tac toe world (http://www.it-quadrat.de/ttt/ttt3d/ttt.aer)
* Cannot point plugin directly at an <code>.aer</code> file, an <code><object></code> tag must be used. (This is an original Adobe Atmosphere limitation)
* Some worlds automatically close chat. Some other worlds put useful information in the chat. The chat open/closed preference is saved, so worlds with chat should probably have some code to open chat embedded.
* Excessive caching may be a possibility.
* Stairs are tricky to climb. Could be related to missing avatars? Might want to include default avatar in htdocs.

=== Notes ===
Browser plugins (at least the NPAPI one, didn't check ActiveX) seem to look for Pulse by using ShGetFolderPathA to find CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE | CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES if that function exists (and if not, looking at a Registry entry).

Some files seem to need a command sent to the plugin (for example, Fozzie needs "play obj=Dummy01 pkg=assets/fozzie/Package2.pws transition=0.30 heading=yes behave=joke"). The NPAPI version of the plugin looks like it relies on LiveConnect, which might not be supported in Basilisk.

Tags

2020-07-19T23:26:14Z

Tyefyedye: /* Themes */ Added ASCII tag under Themes

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 the category headers as tags too (except ''Themes'', ''Content Warnings'', ''Animations'', ''Franchises'' and ''Game Engines''). 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.

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.

Authorware Curation

2020-06-17T15:04:09Z

Tyefyedye:

This guide will show you how to curate Authorware applications using Flashpoint Core.

== Before You Start ==

This tutorial will assume you've read the standard [[Curation Tutorial]], which is highly recommended to go through. Try curating a Flash game before moving on to other platforms like Authorware.

== Recognizing Authorware ==

There are three main components to look out for that signify that the application on the website is an Authorware applcation:

* The website mentions the requirement of the '''Authorware Web Player''' or '''Authorware Plugin'''
* There is a button prompting the user to download Authorware
* (''Google Chrome'') The application displays a ''This plugin is not supported'' error, and right-clicking on it labels the application as an '''x-authorware-map'''

<gallery mode="traditional">

Image: Authorware-download.gif | An example of a button that can be found with an Authorware application.
Image: Authorware.png | An Authorware application not displaying properly in Google Chrome.

</gallery>

== Authorware Components ==

Authorware applications are comprised of three main components:

* <code>.aam</code> - The '''Authorware Map File''', which lists all the packets and xtras that the Authorware application will download and run
* <code>.aas</code> - The '''Authorware Shocked Packets''' or '''Authorware Segments''', which are the script files needed to run the application
* <code>.X32</code> - '''Xtras''' required for functions such as image and audio display

The <code>.aam</code> and <code>.aas</code> files will be located in the same directory, while the xtras will be located in a sub-directory conveniently labeled as <code>XTRAS</code>.

Other files required by the application (such as <code>.u32</code> files) will be listed in and can be found in the same directory as the map file.

== Curation Steps ==

<ol>
<li>
Navigate to the page which is hosting the Authorware application. One of three events should occur:

* If the map file is embedded with only the <embed> tag, as with [http://lrieber.coe.uga.edu/shocked/mineshaft/mineshaft.html Mineshaft], then your browser should automatically download the map file

<pre><EMBED SRC="mineshaft.aam" WIDTH="520" HEIGHT="320" WINDOW="onTop" ALIGN="BOTTOM"></pre>

* If the map file is embedded with the <object> tag, as with [http://www.marksteinerinc.com/Resources/Cost_Estimators/_eLearning_Calculator/_elearning_calculator.html eLearning Calculator], then go to Inspect Element, find where the map file is embedded in the source code, and download it

<pre><object classid="CLSID:15B782AF-55D8-11D1-B477-006097098764" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/authorware/awswaxd.cab#version=2004,0,0,73" width="640" height="480">
<param name="SRC" value="cbtcalc.aam">
<param name="PALETTE" value="background">
<param name="WINDOW" value="onTop">
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FFFFFF">
<embed src="cbtcalc.aam" palette="background" window="onTop" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveAuthorware" type="application/x-authorware-map"
width="640" height="480">
</embed>
</object></pre>

* If downloading the map file instead opens it in browser as a text file, as with [http://abacus.bates.edu/~tkahan/expts.htm Stroop Experiment], then go to Inspect Element > Network, refresh the page, right-click on the .aam file and click "Save as..."
</li>

<li>
Download the webpage that the Authorware file is being hosted on. If you want, you may also want to save the webpage containing the link to the Authorware application, as how [http://lrieber.coe.uga.edu/shocked/mineshaft/mineshaft.html Mineshaft] was curated as a reference
</li>

<li>
Open the <code>.aam</code> file in a text editor, such as Notepad++, and download all the shock packets, xtras, and any other files listed. The map file should typically look like this:
<pre>
ver 0 6
get .
seg all stro0000.aas 0 15892
seg all stro0001.aas 15892 16029
seg all stro0002.aas 31921 6060
put .
bin win32 "Ftp.u32" "Ftp.u32" length=57856

get XTRAS
put XTRAS
bin win32 "GIFIMP.X32" "GIFIMP.X32" recycle,length=53760
bin win32 "MIX32.X32" "MIX32.X32" recycle,length=119296
bin win32 "MIXVIEW.X32" "MIXVIEW.X32" recycle,length=48128
bin win32 "VIEWSVC.X32" "VIEWSVC.X32" recycle,length=93696
# HTML_PARAMS: WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480 BGCOLOR=FFFFFF
opt all BypassSecurityDialog=FALSE
opt all UniqueID=5438289
</pre>
</li>

<li>
Follow the [[Curation Format]] and place all files in their necessary folders.

* Set the Platform to <code>Authorware</code>
* Set the Application Path to <code>FPSoftware\Basilisk-Portable\Basilisk-Portable.exe</code>
* Set the Launch Command to either the webpage hosting the Authorware application or the webpage containing the link to the application
</li>

<li>
Run your Authorware application. If all goes well, fill out the necessary metadata, export your curation, and submit it to the Flashpoint Discord server in the <code>#other-game-curations</code> channel. Remember to use the Authorware emoji when submitting
</li>
</ol>

* ''You may encounter an issue where, in an embedded Authorware application, clicking outside of the plugin page results in the application becoming unresponsive and unable to refocus. In the event this occurs, change <code><param name="WINDOW" value="inPlace"></code> to <code><param name="WINDOW" value="onTop"></code> and <code>window="inPlace"</code> to <code>window="onTop"</code> where applicable in the source code of the application webpage''

== Running an Authorware Program in Flashpoint ==

This section will serve to detail exactly how an Authorware application runs in Flashpoint.

<ol>
<li>
Upon running an Authorware application in Flashpoint, you will be prompted with a dialog box asking you if you wish to run the Authorware application.
</li>

<li>
Typically, this dialog box will become unresponsive, and Basilisk will display another dialog box claiming that the plugin is not responding. When this occurs, click '''Continue''' to allow the plugin to keep running.
</li>

<li>
Should the dialog box now become responsive, click '''OK''' to allow the Authorware Player to begin downloading the necessary files. If the dialog box is still not running, you may need to run the application again.
</li>

<li>
If all goes well, the Authorware application should now being playing. Upon running this application again, you should not be prompted with the dialog boxes and the application will immediately begin.
</li>
</ol>

<div><ul>
<li style="display: inline-block;> [[File:Authorware_2.png|frame|Dialog Box #1]] </li>
<li style="display: inline-block; padding-left: 100px"> [[File:Authorware_3.png|frame|Dialog Box #2]] </li>

This guide will show you how to curate Authorware applications using Flashpoint Core.

== Before You Start ==

This tutorial will assume you've read the standard [[Curation Tutorial]], which is highly recommended to go through. Try curating a Flash game before moving on to other platforms like Authorware.

== Recognizing Authorware ==

There are three main components to look out for that signify that the application on the website is an Authorware applcation:

* The website mentions the requirement of the '''Authorware Web Player''' or '''Authorware Plugin'''
* There is a button prompting the user to download Authorware
* (''Google Chrome'') The application displays a ''This plugin is not supported'' error, and right-clicking on it labels the application as an '''x-authorware-map'''

<gallery mode="traditional">

Image: Authorware-download.gif | An example of a button that can be found with an Authorware application.
Image: Authorware.png | An Authorware application not displaying properly in Google Chrome.

</gallery>

== Authorware Components ==

Authorware applications are comprised of three main components:

* <code>.aam</code> - The '''Authorware Map File''', which lists all the packets and xtras that the Authorware application will download and run
* <code>.aas</code> - The '''Authorware Shocked Packets''' or '''Authorware Segments''', which are the script files needed to run the application
* <code>.X32</code> - '''Xtras''' required for functions such as image and audio display

The <code>.aam</code> and <code>.aas</code> files will be located in the same directory, while the xtras will be located in a sub-directory conveniently labeled as <code>XTRAS</code>.

Other files required by the application (such as <code>.u32</code> files) will be listed in and can be found in the same directory as the map file.

== Curation Steps ==

<ol>
<li>
Navigate to the page which is hosting the Authorware application. One of three events should occur:

* If the map file is embedded with only the <embed> tag, as with [http://lrieber.coe.uga.edu/shocked/mineshaft/mineshaft.html Mineshaft], then your browser should automatically download the map file

<pre><EMBED SRC="mineshaft.aam" WIDTH="520" HEIGHT="320" WINDOW="onTop" ALIGN="BOTTOM"></pre>

* If the map file is embedded with the <object> tag, as with [http://www.marksteinerinc.com/Resources/Cost_Estimators/_eLearning_Calculator/_elearning_calculator.html eLearning Calculator], then go to Inspect Element, find where the map file is embedded in the source code, and download it

== Running an Authorware Program in Flashpoint ==

This section will serve to detail exactly how an Authorware application runs in Flashpoint.

<ol>
<li>
Upon running an Authorware application in Flashpoint, you will be prompted with a dialog box asking you if you wish to run the Authorware application.
</li>

<li>
Typically, this dialog box will become unresponsive, and Basilisk will display another dialog box claiming that the plugin is not responding. When this occurs, click '''Continue''' to allow the plugin to keep running.
</li>

<li>
Should the dialog box now become responsive, click '''OK''' to allow the Authorware Player to begin downloading the necessary files. If the dialog box is still not running, you may need to run the application again.
</li>

<li>
If all goes well, the Authorware application should now being playing. Upon running this application again, you should not be prompted with the dialog boxes and the application will immediately begin.

This guide will show you how to curate Authorware applications using Flashpoint Core.

== Before You Start ==

This tutorial will assume you've read the standard [[Curation Tutorial]], which is highly recommended to go through. Try curating a Flash game before moving on to other platforms like Authorware.

== Recognizing Authorware ==

There are three main components to look out for that signify that the application on the website is an Authorware applcation:

* The website mentions the requirement of the '''Authorware Web Player''' or '''Authorware Plugin'''
* There is a button prompting the user to download Authorware
* (''Google Chrome'') The application displays a ''This plugin is not supported'' error, and right-clicking on it labels the application as an '''x-authorware-map'''

== Authorware Components ==

Authorware applications are comprised of three main components:

* <code>.aam</code> - The '''Authorware Map File''', which lists all the packets and xtras that the Authorware application will download and run
* <code>.aas</code> - The '''Authorware Shocked Packets''', which are the script files needed to run the application
* <code>.X32</code> - '''Xtras''' required for functions such as image and audio display

The <code>.aam</code> and <code>.aas</code> files will be located in the same directory, while the xtras will be located in a sub-directory conveniently labeled as <code>XTRAS</code>.

Other files required by the application (such as <code>.u32</code> files) will be listed in and can be found in the same directory as the map file.

== Curation Steps ==

<ol>
<li>
Navigate to the page which is hosting the Authorware application. One of three events should occur:

* If the map file is embedded with only the <embed> tag, as with [http://lrieber.coe.uga.edu/shocked/mineshaft/mineshaft.html Mineshaft], then your browser should automatically download the map file

<pre><EMBED SRC="mineshaft.aam" WIDTH="520" HEIGHT="320" WINDOW="onTop" ALIGN="BOTTOM"></pre>

* If the map file is embedded with the <object> tag, as with [http://www.marksteinerinc.com/Resources/Cost_Estimators/_eLearning_Calculator/_elearning_calculator.html eLearning Calculator], then go to Inspect Element, find where the map file is embedded, and download it
