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.

The application path for Squeak curations should be set to FPNavigator (FPSoftware\fpnavigator-portable\FPNavigator.exe).

Site-specific Guides

Squeakland

Squeakland hosted the majority of known Squeak games. As such, 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. 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 th curation selected.)

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.
