Squeak Curation
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
.
The application path for Squeak curations should be set to FPNavigator (FPSoftware\fpnavigator-portable\FPNavigator.exe). 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. Note: For further curating info, see the site-specific information below.
Site-specific Guides
Etoys Illinois
Etoysillinois.org hosts a large fraction of all known Squeak games. They don't work in the browser due to problems so in order to curate them you have use the viewer version that isn't in flashpoint currently, you can find it in the #other-plugins channel. The curation will next the Application Path as "FPSoftware\FlashpointSecurePlayer.exe", the Launch Command needing in the beginning "squeak" and a Mount Parameters with "-extract". Before you can play your curation you need to copy the content files to htdocs in order to make it run. Using cURLsDownloader and downloading the squeak file with it, will show you the release date of it.
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 file that Squeak games use (you can just put the URL to the file that includes “www.squeakland.org/launcher/” in 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.)
A scrape of Squeakland can be found here.
