Hi,

It’s not really hard, if you know how to…
If you open the HTML in an editor, line 11 is the line you are looking for:

window.INJECTED_WICKPROJECT_DATA = ‘*** CODE ***’;

The code that I marked CODE you need to copy. (Taking care that you exclude the quotationmarks!)
This is a BASE64 encoded wick. If you take this code and past it in:

that site can decode it for you. If you take this result, save it with extension: *.wick you can open it in wick again…

regards,

Paul

  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 :)

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
