[TUT] How to make r63b Habbo Retro | IIS | BcStorm |

[KyleVonnie]

Hey Devbest,
I recently posted a tutorial on how to make a r63b retro using Xampp, and I was blown away by the feedback by y'all.

I got loads of requests to make another tutorial, but this time using IIS, so here it is!

Before we start, I wanted to say thanks to

When it comes to IIS, I'm NOT the best, so I used Vineens tutorial on IIS - RevCMS to guide me through some sticky parts!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This tutorial was made while using a Windows 2008 Standard Edition R2 VPS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step One :
Install MySQL on your VPS

You must be registered for see links

- You should see a similar screen.

- Click on "Install MySQL Products". Follow the steps until you reach this screen:

- Choose "Server Only" and Click "Next >"
- Then click "Execute" and wait for it to execute.

-Eventually you will reach this page, enter a Root Account Password and click "Next >"
(REMEMBER THIS PASSWORD)

- Next, go to "Server Manager" on your VPS.

- On the window, select "Add Roles" as demonstrated below.

- Check the box next to "IIS" and click Next:

- On the following screen, make sure the following are checked/ticked:

• Application Development (All children nodes under this too)
• Static Content Compression (Under Performance)
• IIS Management Console, IIS Management Scripts and Tools and Management Service (All under Management Tools)

- Click "Install" and wait for it to install. If it asks to restart the VPS, do so.
Step Two:
Download Microsoft Web Platform Installer:

You must be registered for see links

- Search for "PHP 5" in the search box. Choose any PHP 5.x

- Search for "IIS Recommended Configuration"

- Next download "URL Rewrite 2.0" . This will be already installed for a lot of you.

Step Three:
Go to

You must be registered for see links

, you should see a screen similar to below.

- Next, go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot and delete all files that are there.

- Next, Download Winrar from the link above.
- Then Download/Extract the CMS also from the link above.

Step Four:
- Next, go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\app\management and open config.php. I suggest using Notepad ++ or Sublime Text.
Fill out the config accordingly:

*    MySQL management
*
*/

$_CONFIG['mysql']['connection_type'] = 'pconnect'; //Type of connection: It must be connect, or pconnect: if you want a persistent connection.

$_CONFIG['mysql']['hostname'] = 'localhost'; //MySQL host

$_CONFIG['mysql']['username'] = 'root'; //MySQL username

$_CONFIG['mysql']['password'] = '[B]YOUR ROOT PASSWORD HERE[/B]'; //MySQL password

$_CONFIG['mysql']['database'] = 'r63b'; //MySQL database

$_CONFIG['mysql']['port'] = '3306'; //MySQL's port

/*

*/

Step Five:
Download Navicat Premium :

You must be registered for see links

- On the Top Left, Click Connection. Name it whatever you choose.
- Make sure the username says "Root" and enter your Root Password below that.

- Right Click on the connection and choose " New Database":

- Click on "Query" then choose "New Query", select "Load".
- Choose the Sql file from the link above.

Step Six:
Credits to Vineen for this part, I copied it directly from his thread!
100% Credits to him for this step!
- Go to Start -> Computer -> Click Organize ▼ then select Folder and Search Options, then go to 'View' tab, uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'.
- Now go back to wwwroot, rename your .htaccess file to web.config then hold Ctrl + A and paste the pastie provided below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 1">
                    <match url="^(|/)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 2">
                    <match url="^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(|/)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 3">
                    <match url="^(.*)\.htm$" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.php" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 4">
                    <match url="^(|/)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="dash.php?page={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 5">
                    <match url="^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(|/)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="dash.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Step Seven:
- Go back to

You must be registered for see links

, you should see this now:

Step Eight: [SWFS]
- Download the SWF Pack from either the original link or the mirror above.
- Extract the whole folder to /wwwroot.
(THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE)

Step Nine:
-Download the BcStorm Emulator from the link above.
- Extract the folder to your desktop.
- Go to bin> debug> settings > and open configuration.ini
- Edit it likewise:

## MySQL Configuration
db.hostname=localhost
db.port=3306
db.username=root
db.password=PASSWORD HERE
db.name=r63b

Go back to bin>debug> and open "Butterfly Emulator.exe".
- Once loaded, should look like this:

Step Ten:
- Register on

You must be registered for see links

and enter the client,
- Congratulations you now own a r63b retro! (That is if you did everything right )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making Retro Public:

To make the r63b public, follow these steps:


1. Go to /wwwroot/app/managment/config.php
Change these lines:

$_CONFIG['hotel']['server_ip'] = '127.0.0.1'; //IP of VPS/DEDI/etc

$_CONFIG['hotel']['url'] = 'http://localhost'; //Does not end with a "/"

TO:

$_CONFIG['hotel']['server_ip'] = 'SERVER IP HERE'; //IP of VPS/DEDI/etc

$_CONFIG['hotel']['url'] = 'http://DOMAIN OR IP HERE'; //Does not end with a "/"

2. Then change these lines:

$_CONFIG['hotel']['external_vars'] = 'http://localhost/swfs/external_variables.txt'; //URL to your external vars

$_CONFIG['hotel']['external_texts'] = 'http://localhost/swfs/external_flash_texts.txt'; //URL to your external texts

$_CONFIG['hotel']['product_data'] = 'http://localhost/swfs/productdata.txt'; //URL to your productdata

$_CONFIG['hotel']['furni_data'] = 'http://localhost/swfs/furnidata.txt'; //URL to your furnidata

$_CONFIG['hotel']['swf_folder'] = 'http://localhost/swfs'; //URL to your SWF folder(does not end with a '/')

Replace all "localhost"'s with your domain and/or IP.

3. Next go to /wwwroot/swfs/external_variables.txt
- Press "Ctrl + H"
- In "Find What" Box, type "localhost"
- In "Replace With" Box, type your domain or IP.

4. Save both files.

Should be public now!

Hello, I am a 'nub' and this is the tutorial I decided to follow when it came to my first Retro.
I've set this up on a VPS and after following these carefully placed steps I've done well in my opinion. I've managed to get the database up and also the CMS. Meaning I managed to register and checking 'users' in my database I found my name so Its working together. I've hit 2 problems and don't understand what I've messed up on.
Problem 1) The image of my Avatar isn't showing up on the website interface ( I assume none are showing up )
Problem 2) The client is showing a white background when I try to enter it. (When I check the BcStorm program it shows I connected and it realizes I attempted to connect , This could also be why my avatar isn't showing but I'm not quite sure.)

Any help on my way would be greatly appriciated, also if I find a fix before a reply I will post my fix to help others if they fail at this too.
