Pixel Planet not working anymore Topic is solved

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

Pixel Planet, a fun time wasting site when you vandalize the world map 1 pixel at a time, stopped working sometime during Pale Moon's last revision (32.5.2). It is still not working with the milestone release 33.0.0. Obviously, something changed on their end. I don't know how this can be fixed on PM's end, but I will mention it here anyway. 1 way to easily tell the website is broken, is by the absence of user UI, or user HUD that normally loads every time you visit.

If you trust it go to about:config and enable network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS.
If you don't trust it here's a Modify HTTP Response filter to skip the insecure error (allowing window.ssv to be created).

Code: Select all

[["pixelplanet.fun",["/^\\/($|#)/",["/new WebSocket.*?;/",""]]]]

I am rusty with About Config. Where/how should I add the second code?

[back2themoon]

The about:config method is ten times simpler, but here's the second method which is probably best, since it only applies for that website:

1. Install the Modify HTTP Response extension.
2. Go to its options, paste the code in the Filters section and enable Enable.
3. Step 2 above only applies if the Filters section is empty. If you are already using it with some other filter(s), the code needs a slight modification.

[Moonchild]

enable network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS

Please only use this for debugging.
Plain websocket connections from https sites are a considerable security risk so you really shouldn't allow them (and it's very likely you'd not think of re-disabling them once you're done with your blasting of a site)

That one is 3 years old....

[Moonchild]

That one is 3 years old....

So is my baco wrench. it still works fine.

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

As a non-programmer I have no way of knowing if an old add-on is safe or not.

Anyway, this is a non-solution. Doesn't work. Site works without issues in Waterfox and Brave.

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

This is what the site SHOULD look like, with the HUD elements on the left and right. Screenshot from Waterfox.

Basilisk 2023.12.09 using the filter.

[back2themoon]

Try Safe Mode. The filter worked only on Safe Mode for me. Also, the about:config method only worked in a clean profile.

It looks like something else might easily interfere with the workarounds, but I couldn't figure out what.

correction: obviously the filter cannot work in Safe Mode because all extensions are disabled. Try disabling all extensions except Modify HTTP Response.

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

Tried minimal extensions (pic related), then tried no extensions save for HTTP Response. No result in either case. Also had to stare at the default theme instead of Milestone, was painful for the eyes.

The only thing left to try is Safe Mode, but..... don't think I ever used that. And if it erases my session (that I always keep going), not trying it at all.

[Moonchild]

Still better than a singing Stallman.

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

I wonder if starting a fresh profile will help. I never did that, but I hope there is a way to carry over old bookmarks.

I see you have Greasemonkey.
This site works for me with the following script:

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name        pplanet
// @namespace   pplanet
// @include     https://pixelplanet.fun/*
// @run-at document-start
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

window.ssv = {};

That looks like a solution!

........ where do I paste it? (in GreaseMonkey)

[back2themoon]

Add-ons Manager / User Scripts / New User Script / Use Script From Clipboard

edit: Or use the Greasemonkey icon (New User Script), or the Pale Moon Tools/Greasemonkey menu. In all cases, you must first copy the code for "Use Script From Clipboard" to appear.

Thanks, have not used GM for more than 2 times over a year ago, forgot how it even works.

This solution is 3rd party, and therefore not a real solution. But there is no reason for this thread to stay here. So I'll just mark it as "solved" anyway.

P.S. Pixel Planet is a little choppy right now, but definitely usable. Maybe too many users online.

[back2themoon]

This solution is 3rd party, and therefore not a real solution.

I'm not sure that's accurate. Extensions are part of the browser's ecosystem. Sure, they are not made by the Pale Moon Team but neither is Pixel Planet. The whole Internet is 3rd-party essentially.

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

The whole Internet is 3rd-party essentially.

You are NOT wrong about that.
