AsteroidApp

The alternative browser with Flash Player for Windows 7/10 (x32/x64) and MacOS.

How to install?

  1. Download NodeJS: https://nodejs.org/

  2. Open Command Prompt and make sure you are in the same location as the AsteroidApp.

  3. Install the dependencies by execute the command: npm install

  4. Make sure the file package.json is set up as desired.

    • productName = Hotel name

    • appId = nl.hotelname.appname (also in Main.js!)

  5. Open the configuration file config.env and put your link here like this:

    URL = https://www.habbo.com

    SHORT_URL = habbo.com

  6. Translate/edit the file views/home.html

  7. Open Command Prompt again and execute the command: npm start

  8. Yay congrats! Your app should be up and running. If everything is okay you can make it a .exe or a .dmg

  9. Open Command Prompt again and execute one of these commands:

    • npm run windows - For Windows
    • npm run mac - For Mac

  10. Yay! your app is ready for publishing! Go to the folder dist and your .exe / .dmg should be there!

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.

Windows instructions: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3197443/how-to-get-past-windows-defender-smartscreen-in-windows-10.html

MacOS instructions: https://www.imore.com/how-open-apps-anywhere-macos-catalina-and-mojave

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: '[email protected]',
 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.
