Hey Devbest :)

Recently I have been playing around with some of the OldSchool files I have around. I decided to try setup a v1 retro. I got it setup and working so I thought I would tell everyone how they can do it :)
YES I KNOW THIS IS FOR A OLDER VERSION OF A FEW THINGS BUT I DID THIS SO IT WILL HAVE THE SAME PRODUCTS CLOSER TO THE TIME OF THE RELEASE OF V1
Pros of this v1 retro: Build your experience with v1 Retros
Experience the good old Habbo again
Maybe experience the good old Habbo for the 1st time :)

Cons of this v1 retro: Not everything works... (buying furniture etc...)
Can be somewhat slow...

I recommend you use Firefox as it still has Adobe Shockwave support!!

Anyway, lets begin :)

Step 1: Download Xampp 1.7.3 as it works better for older Habbo Retros. Download from here:

How to setup Xampp:
Step 1: After Xampp is installed, start Apache and MySQL:
Step 2: Go to localhost in your web browser, select your language then click the 'Security' link:
Step 3: Once at the 'Security' page, click the link half way down the page:
Step 4: After you click the link, type in your desired password then click the 'Password Changing' button:
For the purpose of this tutorial, I set my password to 'password'
Your password can be anything!
Xampp is now setup :)



Step 2: Download the v1 DCR's, server and database from here:

How to upload database:
Step 1: Navigate to localhost/phpmyadmin:
The username will be root and the password is whatever you set it as when setting up Xampp!
Step 2: Create a new database called v1_habbo:
Step 3: Step 3: After creating the database, select it and click the 'Import' tab at the top:
Step 4: Step 4: Click 'Browse' and select the database from the archive. You will need to extract it first! Click go once you have it selected:
That is the database successfully setup :)



How to config the emu. You will need Visual Studio for this!
Step 1: Open ServerEngine.sln with Visual Studio:
Step 2: Open the Progam.cs file:
Step 3: Change the '[your password here]' to the MySQL password you setup earlier. Once done, click run:
Your emulator should now be setup correctly :)
To run it normally, go to bin>debug and run v1_Pub.exe!



Setup the DCR's
Step 1: Go to the htdocs folder (C:\xampp\htdocs) and delete everything there:
Step 2: Extract the DCR's with loader into htdocs:
That is all for the DCR's! Time to play on your retro :)

Step 1: Go to the htdocs folder (C:\xampp\htdocs) and delete everything there:
Step 2: Extract the DCR's with loader into htdocs:
That is all for the DCR's! Time to play on your retro :)


After everything is setup, start the emulator and navigate to localhost/loader.html

Once it loads, click register and fill out the form and click 'Accept':

From there, you can go to the Main Lobby to create your own room! I should have some SQL's for more public rooms soon I just need to sort out heightmaps.

Main Lounge:
Creating your own room:
Once you create your room, click 'Cancel' or it wont load:

Have fun with your v1 Retro :) I apologize for some of the main things not working but I can't fix that. If you have any issues, reply or PM me and I will try help you :)
