=== Examples ===

=== Problems Encountered ===
=== Problems Encountered ===
Uses the Windows system directory and is not portable.
* Can't find C:\Program on PATH.


=== Notes ===
* Exception "Exception":
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.
windres failed, cannot create Windows resource


Registry files: [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/708149898729488414/apple.reg apple.reg] [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516027726851735632/708149900696617070/quicktime.reg quicktime.reg]
=== Further notes ===
No precompiled builds are available yet. As such, you may have to download any of the following files to compile the plugin:
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2032%20bits/ Lazarus] (it may be best to download the version with the highest version number)
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Win32/ Free Pascal] (included with Lazarus, but linked to separately just in case)
* [https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/releases/tag/snapshot Castle Game Engine]


Not all data in quicktime.reg is likely needed.
== Chime ==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDL_Chime Wikipedia article]


In Flashpoint, Basilisk is currently configured to disable QuickTime by default to avoid conflicts.
=== Downloads ===
[https://sites.fas.harvard.edu/~biotext/chimedemos/getplugins.html Installer and demos]


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.
=== Examples ===
The installer page links to demos.

=== 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.

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?

* Both Apple Application Support and QuickTime are required. Registry entries point to their locations.

* 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.

* <del>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 the <code><object></code> 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.</del> VBScript and galleries work fine as-is in Flashpoint Secure Player.
=== Notes ===
* Some older Atmosphere worlds don't work in the plugin. Newer worlds (including galleries) won't work fully in the standalone player.
[https://web.archive.org/web/20051223071519/http://www.pureform.org/virtualGallery.htm This sample], 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.
* 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 <code>.aer</code> file, an <code><object></code> 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.

Revision as of 20:50, 1 August 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 #plugin-chat channel in our Discord.

Please add new technologies in alphanumeric order.

Here are some places to find more technologies to add to Flashpoint:

For plugins which have been successfully added to Flashpoint, see Technologies to Add/Added Technologies.

HTML+TIME / XHTML+SMIL

Wikipedia page

About

HTML+TIME (Timed Interactive Multimedia Extensions) was a proposal by Microsoft for including animation and interactivity in HTML.

Downloads

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?
