Revision as of 14:20, 17 June 2021
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 #plugins-chat channel in our Discord.
Please add new technologies in alphanumeric order.
Here are some places to find more technologies to add to Flashpoint:
- mozdev.org - Windows PluginDoc
- GitHub Gist - a list of almost 4000 plugins
- K-Meleon Extensions Central
- Windows95.com - Web Browser Plugins (backup here)
- Plug-in Plaza
- Inline Plug-ins
- Another list
- Plug-in Gallery & Demo Links (oyamada)
Atomic 3D / Neutron Viewer
Downloads
- Download page (archived)
- Different versions
Examples
BitPlayer (BitMagic)
bitmagic.com (archived)
About
BitPlayer is a standalone player able to play BitMagic content, which is based on Flash or Shockwave. It downloaded games (BitGames) or BitFlicks (animations) from the internet on a daily basis. Advertisements were downloaded as well. All of these were stored in BM files, which contain an SWF for Flash-based content, or a DCR for Shockwave-based content.
There were around 2000 BitMagic files in its short life, of which we have only been able to save a little less than 500.
History
bitmagic.com.au, bitmagic.org, content.ao.bitmagic.com, download.ao.bitmagic.com, download.us.bitmagic.com, www.bitmagic.com
You might have to search for BitMagic for most of these links.
Michiel Frackers Interview - Co-founder, Co-founder flash website, animators website, more info, linkedin profile, about book by cofounder, more info 2, website were player could be downloaded, blog talking about various inside happenings
Downloads
BitMagic should be good for the next release. However, items currently cannot be fully curated in the Curate Tab, since they can't be played directly, so no screen shots, etc. via the Curate Tab.
Examples are included in the download.
Tools
- bitmagic_converter - Extracts the Flash or Shockwave file embedded in a BitMagic file and shows metadata such as name, creator/note, and edition (usually a date, presumably the date it was published)
- minimagic_extractor - Extracts BitMagic BM files from Minimagic EXEs. Minimagic was a way of packaging up a BitMagic animation as a standalone executable.
Curation Tutorial
The curation tutorial is available at BitPlayer Curation.
Castle Game Engine Web Plugin
Downloads
- https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/442282445098844177/712673109303623760/cge_3d_viewer.7z Prebuilt binary and example]
Examples
The download in Downloads contains an example.
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 (it may be best to download the version with the highest version number)
- Free Pascal (included with Lazarus, but linked to separately just in case)
- Castle Game Engine
Chime
=== Downloads === oxidant Installer and demos
Examples
The installer page links to demos.
Problems Encountered
- Crashes a majority of the time. The Basilisk and Flashpoint cache must be cleared.
Flatland Rover
Downloads
- http:/aa/uriwgi al.flatland.com
- http://www.flatland.com
- http://kmext.sourceforge.net/mplugs/nprover.zip
Examples
- http://xuriel.com/spots/
- http://spots.flatland.com/
- https://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/01/3dml/xcube.3dml
- https://www.sean.co.uk/a/webdesign/3d/3dmlworld.shtm
- http://zonalandeducation.com/canYou3DML/one.html
FreeHand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_FreeHand (please note the article makes no mention of the plugin, but it appears to arise from that)
Also called Shockwave Graphics Player, or, like the other Shockwave plugins, just Shockwave.
Plugin
Examples
- All the sites with the icon on http://web.archive.org/web/19961026210317/http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/epicenter/ (you have to click on the categories)
Problems Encountered
Sometimes throws this error:
All three buttons make the plugin stop working.
Google Native Client
Downloads
- Slimjet 10, Used by oshaboy for testing: https://bluepload.unstable.life/slimjet10.exe
- GCC and Clang toolchains for Native Client: https://chromium.googlesource.com/?format=HTML (Should be useful because some NaCl have been lost in binary form but still exist in source code form)
Examples
- Bomberclone
- Bastion Demo (some assets are lost)
- SuperTux
- Doom
Problems Encountered
- "[6708:11872:0517/190417:ERROR:nacl_process_host.cc(215)] DuplicateHandle() failed" on Chromium 40
- .nexe
and .pexefiles get downloaded by the browser, but don't start. Slimjet 10 can't see the PNaCl compiler plugin when running through a proxy. (See chrome://components)(That was because the compiler was not in the user folder)
Grail
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grail_(web_browser)
Downloads
https://sourceforge.net/projects/grail/files/grail/0.6/grail-0.6.tgz/download
Examples
http://grail.sourceforge.net/demo/
Problems Encountered
"TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:" error when trying to run Grail(Solved)"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.(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
- All-in-one packages: Grail.7z, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/711588211222118450/Grail_but_More_Portable.7z Grail but More Portable]
HTML+TIME / XHTML+SMIL
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML%2BTIME
About
A proposal by Microsoft for including animation and interactivity in HTML: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML%2BTIME
Problems
- No independent download, added to Internet Explorer in IE 5.5 and removed in IE 9. X-UA-Compatible does not appear to work
- DLLs from Windows XP + Internet Explorer 6 are installable: mstime.dll for time2, datime.dll for time
- IE11 on Windows 10 with DLLs installed and registry entry seems to have issues with transparency.
- IE6 via Utilu on Windows 10 bolds some stuff weirdly.
- Ad demos are apparently older HTML+TIME syntax and only seem to run on IE5.5. Can datime.dll be unblocked on Win10 and syntax added to ensure its inclusion into the page? How large would a rewrite into XHTML+SMIL be?
Examples
- http://www.ludicrum.org/demos/
- https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/demos/XHTML-SMIL/Animate.htm
- https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/#demos
Registry entry

Notes
OCX files are used, but trying to run these as an ActiveX Control gives a "Registry Failed".
O3D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3D
About
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
Downloads
There are no known trustworthy downloads, although source code exists. https://www.zhaodll.co/n/20130417/158957.html has been tested and works, but the website is sketchy.
Examples

Panda3D Plugin
About
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda3D
Downloads
- Installer and demos: http://www.ddrose.com/~drose/plugin/install_plugin.html
- Latest runtime: https://www.panda3d.org/download/runtime-1-0-4/
Examples
- Open directory of Panda3D stuff: http://www.ddrose.com/~drose/p3d_7/
- Pac-Bat - tested and working on 2019-07-21
- Dice in a Stone Box
- 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/ (backed up at Flashfreeze)
Pipelight
About
Unlike the other technologies on this list, this is not a distinct software platform. Instead, it is a browser plugin that allows Windows-only NPAPI plugins to run on Linux.
See https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Linux_Support#Pipelight for more information.
QuickTime VR

- https://web.archive.org/web/19961221234014/http://www.babylon5.com/cmp/qtvrob.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: apple.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.
Scratch
About
An online block-based virtual language, currently based upon Blockly, then previously Flash, and before that, Java (Squeak 2.8 for the offline editor). While it is possible to curate Scratch games in Flashpoint using converters and packagers, they are not in their original form.

- Standalone player: https://web.archive.org/web/20030421090321/http://www.visviva.com/download/vae2_56.exe
Examples
Problems Encountered
- vaengine.dll seems to use both WSOCK32 and WININIT, but the primary download is via WSOCK32. Flashpoint currently does not support proxying WinSock.
- Requires DirectPlay
Wildpockets
- Wiki: https://wildpockets.fandom.com/wiki/Wildpockets_Wiki
- Plugin source: https://launchpad.net/wildpockets
Examples
WildTangent Web Driver
- SDK usable from Java, Javascript, VBScript
- Pages typically launch wthost.exe which itself uses an ActiveX plugin
- FlashpointProxy.dll needs to be attached to wthost.exe (currently attached to webdriver.dll)
- Newer version recommended by WildTangent Discord doesn't seem to support WinInet?
- Most games will need MS Java
- Antiviruses hate hate hate anything WildTangent related
- When producing combined webdriver+java config, be sure to only have one classpath entry

XVR
Information
Could potentially be considered just another ActiveX control?

Notes
The sample at https://web.archive.org/web/20051223071519/http://www.pureform.org/virtualGallery.htm (linked from personal projects) reportedly has Flash <-> XVR interaction. This might not be supportable in Flashpoint unless Flash can be added to Flashpoint Secure Player or an NPAPI version of XVR is found.

https://archive.org/details/Pulse3DPWSPWCPW3Files
https://archive.org/details/www_02_2002
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
- Flux Player 2.1 is stuck loading under TheWorld 3.5.03
- Too many players with variations: Which ones should get included?
Live3D: Crashes on page navigationresolvable 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

Problems Encountered
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 theVBScript and galleries work fine as-is in Flashpoint Secure Player.<object>
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.- 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
.aer
file, an<object>
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.

Problems Encountered
It doesn't work with the proxy, loading from the live web.This was fixed by adding FlashpointProxy.dll (twice).It requests data — specifically, a version number — from the registry. It gives a popup, but clicking "No" allows the application to play.Fixed by using FSP in Basilisk.Using FSP with the standalone player gives "The process failed to start" as a popup, and "An error occured while activating the Mode." in the logs.Fixed with a config file tweak.It requests some tracking files.We will use dummy files.It doesn't recognize the dummy filesNot really that important.www.alambik.com/cgi-bin/checking

Rebol
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebol
Plugin for a cross-platform programming language. The plugin exists for both IE and Netscape-based browsers, but may be better tested in the former. It seems like most embeds have been written expecting one or the other.
