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 Squeakland.

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.

Most 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. The application path should be set to FPNavigator (FPSoftware\fpnavigator-portable\FPNavigator.exe). If you followed all of the steps correctly, you should see the Squeak project run in FPNavigator.

Metadata

The publisher for most Squeak curations would be “Squeakland”. For these curations, you can easily find the curation’s release date and developer by viewing its project page on Squeakland.

Wrapping Up

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 the curation is finished, export it and submit it to FPFSS (Flashpoint’s Fantastic Submission System). Hope you found this guide helpful, and have a good day.
