Launcher for BlueMaxima's Flashpoint

Flashpoint Launcher

The launcher for BlueMaxima's Flashpoint (aka the Flashpoint Project).

Links

• Flashpoint - Download Flashpoint here
• Trello - Upcoming features, known bugs etc.

Setup

1. Download the project (and extract it, if it was downloaded as an archive).
2. Open a command prompt and navigate it to the projects root folder.
3. Run npm install

Development

1. Open a command prompt and run npm run watch and wait for it to finish building
2. Open another command prompt and wait for build to complete, then run npm run start

Package Scripts

• build - Build the launcher (build main & renderer and copy static files to ./build/)
• watch - Build the launcher and incrementally rebuild it when the source or static files change
• pack - Pack the latest build (and put the packaged file with the executable electron app in ./dist/)
• release - Build then pack the launcher (same as running build then pack)
• start - Run the latest build of the launcher

pack and release will by default pack for the OS and architecture of the machine that runs it.

To pack for a specific OS / architecture use the handy package scripts (such as pack:linux or release:win32) or set the environment variables PACK_PLATFORM / PACK_ARCH.

Troubleshooting

"Not allowed to load local resource" Error

If this error appears in the electron applications console, it is probably because the file it is looking for does not exist. To solve this, run npm run build

Example: Not allowed to load local resource: file:///<ProjectPath>/build/renderer/index.html
