Habboon.pw | #1 English Retro | Active Since 2013

[LeChris]

The developers of Habboon are working on a new customized website built w/ Bulma. @Sledmore posted a sneak peek of the new website in the Habbo shoutbox back in December, but not sure if they're still working on it. They must have gotten busy.

Idea #2 taken from me. First Laravel, now Bulma
Edit:
Would love to see screenshots tho. Be interesting how they make it into habbo-themed website since my usage of it is not very habboish xD

 

[Sledmore]

We've decided to kill Fast Food, on the 25th we'll throw it away and finally update our revision to a 2018 revision. Along with that, we're going to be pushing more updates to Habboon, to show it some love for once.
 
Ran a bunch of updates, we're a little (few months) behind schedule, but Habboons 5th birthday (since our ownership, the official is 8 years) is coming up and we've got a lot planned, but very little coded.

We managed to finally improve our items table, we can now run queries in there in seconds, rather than minutes! We have over 464,000,000 items right now, but with this being now more optimized than ever, we can finally launch our Economy panel to our management team, and work on improving the economy flow.

We're also set to kick off our summer events at the end of the month, which we're introducing Emerald VIP. You will not be able to purchase this VIP level, only earn it from winning events, along with Emerald VIP comes 100 levels, leveling up increases the perks that this VIP rank gives you. Along with the new VIP rank, we're introducing a new summer points system in which players can use to either purchase VIP with, upgrade their VIP level or purchase cosmetics, along with other things we're yet to announce.

We're pushing this as 'our last summer' pretty much, so just trying to have a good one. We'll be bringing new games and features, most likely not this weekend but the weekend after, as to kickstart this weekend we'll be doing 3 LMS games, for 3 different time zones all running in conjunction with each other.

What do you mean last summer?

 

[Sledmore]

What do you mean last summer?

Community is dying and we've lost interest. We're putting our all into Habboon this year, we're not sure about next year.

We want to offer our current player base a fun summer, and also a fun end of year. Last year we gave away about £400 (this was very last minute notice) in Amazon vouchers. However, we're currently putting away £50 each per week to give away for Christmas, this should total up to about £3,000 - might add some additional to it, so we plan on giving back to our community.

 

[Queso]

@Wickd Habbo in general is dying, not to include, next summer, Adobe will possibly already be starting to discontinue Flash, so there would be no purpose to continue in the development with an Adobe based source and have to convert all your work to a new framework in a few months.

 

[Sledmore]

We've just hosted our biggest LMS for our 5th birthday, was a crazy turn out! We had planned to run a total of 3 games of LMS in conjunction with one another. We started LMS on Friday the 15th of June at 9 PM BST, game #2 started at 9 PM EST with game #3 starting at 9 PM GMT+10, in total our LMS event ran for 55 hours.

Game Results:

BST: 33 hours duration
Winners: Wired (1st), Omid (2nd) & Loz (3rd).

EST: 32 hours duration
Winners: Regina(1st), Mizer(2nd) & Natsu(3rd).

GMT +10: 40 hours duration
Winners: A(1st), Starmie(2nd) & SomethingInTheRain(3rd).

Keep up the great work, yeah the community is dying but Habboon is most likely to stay you guys are like the pillar of our retro world.It's like a retro safe spot, no matter what happens you know you can re-unite with your friends on Habboon.Even if the rest of community dies out that's even better for you because everyone will just play Habboon.It's like the death of a star scenario if you really think about.Your base will grow to its peak and after that it'll slowly die.k bie sory for spellin i rushed it XD

Boon has always been at the top, always really had competition with Fresh but fresh is shit now and has been for years. Does seem as if theres a fake user count on boon but oh well, community is decent, it's updated, can't moan too much.

Our user count is only fake when the hotel has been up for a long time, idle/timed out connections don't always die, weird - but has always been a butterfly/plus problem. This is why we randomly restart when the hotel has been up for ~10 days. (edit: not to mention, we have no ping checker)

We used to reboot quite often so it was never noticed, but as we've grown to not care, it shows a lot more.

But cheers!

 

[LeChris]

You guys still working on the new Bulma site?

 

[Sledmore]

Hi,

Didn't want to post a thread in team recruitment straight away, but out of interest if you're reading this and know what you're doing, would you be interested in developing Habboon? We have little interest in the project now, and are unsure where to go from here. I figured it might be worth finding a developer. Obviously, we'd pay.

Anyone interested, just PM me. Please don't offer to buy it., for what it costs to run in return for what it generates, it isn't worth selling - neither myself or you would be able to come up with a reasonable price, but that being said - we'd rather just ride it to the end.

Thanks.

Done a bunch of tweaks lately, trying to show a bit more love for what's left. I've probably missed a lot from the below list, but just got the basis of it from Git.

Although we've done quite a few bug fixes, and packet corrections most of the work in the past couple weeks has been rewriting code and just throwing improvements in.

It's gotten to a point now where it's just easy to look at a piece and think "oh, this could potentially crash or cause an issue" and for each instance of that, most of it has been fixed. Since pushing most fixes live I've noticed quite an improvement.

One of the bigger fixes to this is probably the messenger, it now updates a lot nicer and just works better in general. It's quite a big aspect when you have many online (in my opinion) as it's the one thing that constantly is on the move, other than the room cycle.

Christmas Specific:

• The advent calendar has been brought back.
• :crate command is pretty much complete, just needs the appropriate prize pool.
• The seasonal currency has been put in place.
• Daily badge system has been put in place.
• Christmas bots are almost finished.

Other stuff:

• Upgraded to PRODUCTION-201810171204-70166177
• Added a new currency tracking system - which logs absolutely everything.
• Fixed a bunch of code issues, improved IDisposable usage.
• Refactored packet registry.
• Lots of improvements to item interactors not necessarily fixes to the interactions themselves.
• Improvements to ping checker it now works faster and more efficient.
• Added the correct latency packets.
• Improvements to 'WIRED EFFECT: Bot follows users' box (bots are now more proactive)
• Cleaned up packet parsing in rooms, room crashing & some exception tweaking.
• Upped the global room bot limit to 15.
• You can now search group member requests.
• Added the correct server packets to accepting group members & tweaking ranks.
• Added the correct group notification packets for group admins upon new member requests.
• Fixed some possible room cycle issues when an error occurs with AddActorToTeam wired.
• Vast improvements to error logging, the ability to track issues easier.
• Fixed an issue where the code on CallForHelp event would stop if the user is already ignored (this would not kick the user from the room, as we pause the code).
• Messenger update cycle is now a lot more smooth, updates usernames, figures & follow statuses instantly.
• Messenger now disposes properly.
• Added a fix for :disablefollow command, this will now update the messenger and hide the follow button instantly.
• Fixed an issue where declining a doorbell entry would break inventories.
• Doorbell list now updates to all high ranking room actors instantly.
• Improved the moderation ticket flow, tickets now return to staff upon reloads.
• Group chat functionality has been put into place, though is not currently active.

Good work, glad you're putting effort into Boon and keeping it from falling in terms of features, keep it up boss.

Good work, glad you're putting effort into Boon and keeping it from falling in terms of features, keep it up boss.

Thanks! Yeah, we've fallen behind a little - and have mostly been focussing on stability for a while, but we have no issues at all now. Hotel runs smooth, so it's time to have one last push and get as much done as possible, even as useless as said features may be, they're all coming. Even dumb Monsterplants!

In total, we've added 17 new achievements:

• ACH_NotesLeft
• ACH_NotesReceived
• ACH_RoomDecoHosting
• ACH_Trampolinist
• ACH_Jogger
• ACH_CrossTrainer
• ACH_GnomeLevelUp
• ACH_GnomeRespectGiver
• ACH_HaloompaLevelUp
• ACH_HaloompaRespectGiver
• ACH_PetRespectReceiver
• ACH_FootballGoalScoredInRoom
• ACH_GamePlayerExperience
• ACH_FreezeWinner
• ACH_FreezePowerUp
• ACH_FreezePlayer
• ACH_GameAuthorExperience

Here is a gif of crate command so far, it launches on the 1st of December, along with the new currency and catalog sections. We'll be making improvements to it. I plan to add a bot interactor and a scoreboard for crates opened.

Do you make updates on Github?

Do you make updates on Github?

We use Gitlab. But this is a hotel, not a development thread. So none of the code is public.

Being the only other hotel I bother with, it's nice to see Boon improve. Whether the updates are small or big, it's noticeable. Keep up the good work.
