AsteroidApp - Flash Browser Source for Habbo (MacOS/Windows 7/8/10 x32/x64)

[Asteroid]

Hi,

Since Flash will stop soon I've decided to release this electron application to make sure people can still play your retro until the HTML5/Unity Client is fully working. This works for Windows 7/8/10 32/64bits & MacOS.

Help! I get a Windows/Mac untrusted/virus/defender warning!

Depending on your/your players security settings you may receive a message warning you that the application is from an unknown (untrusted) publisher.

You must purchase a Windows and / or Mac signing certificate to avoid a warning message.

How to sign the application for Mac?

1. Find in package.json:
   "extraResources": [
   {
   "from": "./plugins/",
   "to": "../plugins"
   }
   ],
2. Replace with:
   "files": "!src/SignHook.js",
   "extraResources": [
   {
   "from": "./plugins/",
   "to": "../plugins"
   }
   ],
   "afterSign": "src/SignHook.js",
3. Open src/SignHook.js and change the appleId/appleIdPassword to yours.
   appleId: 'myemail@gmail.com',
   appleIdPassword: '123-321-ab23-m4d',
4. Open Command Prompt again and execute the command: npm run mac

It can take some minutes because this will notarize and create the application.

How to sign the Application for Windows?

Actually, a Windows signing certificate is not necessary as long as people 'allow the app' to run. It builds an 'app reputation' which means the warning messages will disappear in a few days / months. Since most people don't pay $ 700 + / - for a Windows signing certificate, I won't include a tutorial for this, but a cheaper solution would be to publish the application in the Windows App Store. If anyone is interested in this, you can always contact me for help.

Seems like Leet has the button to clear the cache, can you add this too in the repo?

Thanks for this, works great! Is there a way to compile the Mac version from a Windows machine? I do not have a Mac but still want to provide the client for Mac users.

What would also be great is if there was a way to change the URL it loads without needing to re-compile each time (maybe through a config file instead of having it hardcoded).

I think the cache is cleared each time you close the software anyway, unless it is stored somewhere I am not aware of.
