I love the powder game so much, that I even want to play it when I don't have internet. However, I have found this to be very hard. I have the dust.jar, dust.class, a.class, b.class, c.class, d.class, e.class, dust$COMClassObjects.class, dustBeanInfo.class, font.gif, and wheel.gif files by using WinRAR on dust.jar. I'm not sure if I can post anything due to the attachment agreement, but I really want to play offline because of my spotty dial-up internet.

I've been on Dan-Ball for years and never heard about anyone successfully getting PG offline. About the posting... I'd not do that until getting approval by the forum staff. Good luck, though.

I've also tried extracting it using winrar, many times, but there is no way.
What I do is load the game when I have internet, and NEVER close that tab, then you can keep playing without internet (just you can't upload or refresh the page)
It works for basic purposes.

A friend at school can get the codes out easily. I'll ask him for the file link.

If you can, please do so quickly, because I am going to be with spotty internet/on a 10 hour flight tomorrow. Thanks!

I just do what Memzak said but it would be great if you could give us the link!

Damn, the game source has no SWF codes. I can't get the game link for us. D:

swf codes? What are you talking about? This is not flash, this is Javaaaa! The game link is pretty obvious though and everyone in this thread already has it. But its of little use unless you know what to do...

I'm rabid's friend, you guys are sort of right, the jar file is the java equivalant of flash's swf tho. u don't need to extract it just use html to build a basic local webpage with the applet tag. search for w3 schools for how to do this.

Would be nice if it did work, but I am pretty sure that unless given permission, sharing the file would be illegal, due to copyright law in the US, UK, and most other countries. Powder toy is legally downloadable. Do a google search, I am not sure if the forum rules allow linking to downloads.

They do. We just aren't a massive fan of Powder Toy. Competition, you know.
As for PG, there's some fancy thing going on with the dan-ball website that means you can't play it offline.

There is nothing fancy going on with the website, the only thing "fancy" is the jar. (I wonder why nobody picked up on my first post...)

Post by Qwerty on Aug 3, 2010 17:00:20 GMT
By fancy, I mean it isn't a simple jar. You've got the obfuscation and all. Listo posted a long thread about why exactly it wasn't possible, which I now realize I should not trust in any way.

Well... it is a simple jar. It is obfuscated, ok, but thats it. Whatever he said in that long thread about it, it was probably wrong. I can explain why it doesn't work in two sentences.
*edit* Now that I reread my previous post, it looks a little like I contradict myself. What I said in the previous post was, there is nothing on the website that blocks it from running offline, all that blocks it from running offline is in the jar. What I wanted to say with this post is, there is nothing really fancy going on. All the jar does is check whether it was loaded from dan-ball.jp. There, I even explained it in one sentence.

Then [don't smite me, I has no idea what I am saying] couldn't we just change the line? Even if it is illegal?[/end]
;D

We would have to re-compile it. Work around the obfuscator.
|

Post by disabled on Aug 3, 2010 22:01:38 GMT
Right, the obfuscator prevents simple recompilation. There is another way to achieve the goal though.

And what is that?

*rereads whole thread*
Yea that makes no sense.

disabled, idk what you're talking about. and also, i found a decompiler. it's "java.decompiler.free.fr"

Even if we have a decompiler it won't work... I've tried... :C

Don't try to fight it; go with it! aka host a local server, update your hosts file pointing dan-ball.jp to 127.0.0.1 and downloading updates via the server's IP. ...but hardly anyone would know how to do that

Post by Qwerty on Aug 5, 2010 18:30:17 GMT
I think I'm going to stick with opening it in another window.

Yay for Glados. And of course its easier to use it online (or with qwertys method), but that wasn't the question.
Its easier to perform then it sounds. And hardly anyone would know how to hack the jar to not check for the location its being loaded from...

Post by macweirdo on Aug 6, 2010 2:49:23 GMT
Wow. I didn't think of that. I'll try it!
EDIT: Never mind. I'm lost. *sigh*

I don't think this will help, here is some codes snippets I found:
