Help
#10

can you please explain how you did it better im having trouble

#11
  1. open the HTML file in an txt-editor
  2. copy the unreadable blurb between the quotation-marks on line 11
  3. paste it into the field marked Base64 at the URL
  4. press decode
  5. save the result by pressing the download link into a .wick-file
  6. open the .wick-file with wickeditor
  7. rejoice! :slight_smile:

Yes just click on download then change the file extension to a .wick file because it says application.zip I think so change the .zip to .wick

Yeah, .wick file is a .zip file with a very specific layout :-)

Im trying to make this (My Project2-23-2022_13-23-07.html) into a wick file and I cant figure out how to convert it. (this is my game)

Here you go :)
gamer_boi’s game.wick (5.3 KB)

thx I lost the file so this helps a lot

#19

a faster way (on a device where the dev console isn’t blocked) is to open the dev console and then write this

window.open("data:application/octet-stream;base64," + window.INJECTED_WICKPROJECT_DATA);

Nice one!
It got me thinking: wick’s are totaly reversable, ie: there is no protection against ripping everthing from a published wick, if you could find this threadm is there? (If you publish it as a HTML, anyway…)

#21

What is a threadm

Well it’s impossible to fully protect against ripping from an HTML file without making the file unplayable. But you could always copyright the work e.g. using a creative commons license, I’m pretty sure. For example, Scratch puts a CC-BY-SA license on every project.

I cant get anything to work with any other file

Yeah, sure, I get that from this thread(m) :upside_down_face:, but I meant technically this is impossible. Logical that this would be the case, but it might be prudent to communicate this more clearly.

#24

I have done this on multiple occasions. Which step is going wrong?

#25

I already did this. I dont know what to do next

#26

Well, after that, go to the website, and past it in the first field… I cannot describe it any better than I put in the 7 steps outlined above? I thought that was pretty clear… what part of line 3 is unclear to you?
(The word URL is, in fact the link to the website…?)

#27

its actually line five I cant find the download button

#28

I admit it is a bit hard to see, but is is to the right:

now I cant figure out how to convert it to .wick

the downloaded file can be renamed to wick.
It will default to zip, but if you give it the extension .wick, you shouldb e able to open it.
