Arch Linux User Repository

Just published a new PKGBUILD!

Just remember to run sudo USER=$USER chown -R $USER /opt/Flashpoint/ after installing, it won't work otherwise.

If youre having a similar error to this: Game Server: UNHANDLED EXTERNAL LEGACY ERROR: Get "http://runouw.com/games/sm63/sm63game.swf": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:22600: connect: connection refused, run php -S 127.0.0.1:22600 /opt/Flashpoint/Legacy/router.php after starting Flashpoint. This workaround may be automated in the launch script.

the data source is dead for me, does anyone else experiencing the same?

I am pretty sure I did update the hash though? edit: it's working fine for me

You need to update the hash for flashpoint.deb

@Blackbot, that was an intentional change due to some permissions being wrong and I was basically trying everything to get the permissions to be correct (something was wrong with some earlier, not sure what fixed it), I will revert it back to 755. edit: seems like 777 is required for it to launch unless you find a way to change ownership of the directory to your user (in the PKGBUILD).

Thank you for taking over as a maintainer. First thing I noticed though: All the files the new update installed were with 777 permissions while they were previously 755. Is this an intentional change? It seems odd to give everyone write permissions on all those files (including the one in /usr/bin) as that means they can change the whole program for every user on the machine.

With the latest version you should nuke ~/.local/share/flashpoint, since it contains redundant files
edit: make sure to copy your favorites, preferences, etc!

DISCLAIMER

Flashpoint on Linux is generally unstable. (Usually works fine for the most part)

Flashpoint 10 is especially unstable and requires workarounds and extra setup. I am trying my best to keep this package working, fixes, error reports and suggestions are welcome.

If you want a more stable package or a temporary fallback on problems I recommend the outdated, but more stable flashpoint-bin (no longer working, you should probably use this package now).

Known Potential Problems: Native Flash doesn't work

Credits:

@Soremwar: Found Missing qemu dependency

flashpoint-bin maintainers: MAKEPKG template

@kfb: Fixes for Data files.

@edinowork good luck

Note that you have to also update the data files, they are out of date too (current done via a script on my gh, make a own copy in a repo since I wont update it, as far as i know, you are not allowed to have it here eigther), the -dev tries to get the data files directly, but it doesnt work on my pc.

Also dont forget to make your own pinned comment. If you have a question, write me an email or preferably a matrix message @lesnake:matrix.org

I'll try to maintain this, beware this is my first time doing anything with maintaining an AUR package

Going to orphan this, anyone who wants to maintain, see pinned for notes and take a look into MAKEPKG-dev

Sorry for my late response. I get home in the next days and can update the package. I also have a nearly done update on my drive regarding putting the data files in the package (the docs got updated) and fixing the dependencies.

Co-Maintainers are always welcome (if someone is interested just write a comment) and i probably orphan flashpoint-launcher-git after fixing the deps over there because I don't like working on the git version and already have way to much projects open in general.
