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.

@evdinowork Have you considered sending an orphan request and then adopting this package? The maintainer didn't log in since the 25th of March, also the no longer existing qemu-arch-extra package should be replaced with qemu-system-x86

this patch to update flashpoint works great for me

@LeSnake flashpoint-data-files-installer was renamed to flashpoint-install-data-files. Should probably update your instructions

@bbaster it got removed because it was too specific and my mistakes. I am going to add the script to this and and the git package tomorrow as source, but i might create a flashpoint installer program in the future.

What happened to the flashpoint-data-files-installer package?

It was necessary for me to do the following:

1 - Install flashpoint-launcher-bin

2 - Install flashpoint-data-files-installer

3 - Run flashpoint-data-files-installer install

4 - Run flashpoint-data-files-installer fix

5 - Change Flashpoint .desktop entry in application menu to have:

Command: /home/user/.local/share/flashpoint/Launcher/flashpoint-launcher

Work path: /home/user/.local/share/flashpoint/Launcher/

I RECOMMEND https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Linux_Support UNTIL MAINTANED AGAIN

Orphaned because I clouldnt get the latst data files to work. I added a PKGBUILD-dev so the next maintainer can try to fix it. Also please unpin this and make a own pinned one (you can copy the contents) Also make and link you own version of the installer script if you want to use it. Mine wont be updated.

DISCLAIMER

Flashpoint on Linux is generally unstable.

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If you want a more stable package or a temporary fallback on problems I recommend the outdated, but more stable flashpoint-bin.

Introductions:

1. Install data files via "flashpoint-data-files-installer install" and wait until the process has finished
2. Start Flashpoint
3. Go to config Tab
4. Set Flashpoint Path to "/home/<user>/.local/share/flashpoint"
5. Scroll down and press "Save and restart"
6. Enjoy flash games

Known Potential Problems:

• Native Flash doesn't work
