This document assumes that you have read the Flashpoint Curation Tutorial first. If you haven’t, go read that and then come back here. This guide will be talking specifically about curating Squeak content.
Curating
Once you've found a game to curate, make sure you have the Squeak support pack installed (Click Open Flashpoint Manager at the bottom left corner of Flashpoint's Home menu and, under Add/Remove Components, make sure Squeak is selected under Support Packs.
For further curating info, see the site-specific information below. After testing to make sure that your Squeak curation fully works, fill in all of the other metadata like the Curation Format page says. Once your curation is finished, export it and submit it to FPFSS.
Site-specific Guides
Etoys Illinois
Etoysillinois.org hosts a large fraction of all known Squeak games. These games don't work in-browser, so in order to curate them you have use a Squeak support pack that isn't currently included in flashpoint. You can download the support pack in the #other-plugins channel, here. After downloading, open the ZIP file and simply merge the folders inside with the corresponding folders in your copy of Flashpoint.
The Application Path for these curations must be FPSoftware\FlashpointSecurePlayer.exe, the Launch Command must start with squeak (note the space at the end) before the URL, and the Mount Parameters must be -extract. Before you can run any of these curations, you must copy their content files into the htdocs folder (located at Flashpoint/Legacy/htdocs). Using cURLsDownloader to download a Squeak file will show you its release date.
Squeakland
Squeakland.org hosted a large fraction of all known Squeak games. For these curations, you can easily find the curation’s release date and developer by viewing its project page on Squeakland. These Squeak curations need the file “www.squeakland.org/launcher/index.html” to load the .pr files that Squeak games use. (You can just put the file URL with www.squeakland.org/launcher/ in front into cURLsDownloader. For example: www.squeakland.org/launcher/?[URL of Squeak file] minus the brackets.)
A Squeakland curation template can be downloaded here. (In Flashpoint, go to the Curate tab and click Load Archive and select this file to open it. Be sure to click Regenerate UUID afterwards, with the curation selected.)
