Chocolatey CMS - Help Thread

[ovflowd]

scoopski potatoes, yeah Wesley?

Introduction​

Hi, Folks! How going? I decided to create an Official Help Thread to debate and discuss questions, suggestions, issues and feature requests for Arcturus Emulator and Chocolatey CMS.

This thread will stay updated with common questions, FIXES, common questions/issues and related topics for Arcturus Emulator and Chocolatey CMS. This thread will also handle an F.A.Q section for beginners.

What's About Arcturus & Chocolatey?​

Arcturus Emulator is one of the onliest well coded Habbo Hotel Emulators available for now. It's continuously updated and maintained by the "community" (basically by Wesley - @The General).
Arcturus contains many features, as you can see on it release thread, available here.

You can also stay tunned on the latests Development Announces of Arcturus Emulator, by clicking here.

Chocolatey CMS it's actually the onliest maintained and "official" CMS for Arcturus Emulator. Differently from Arcturus, Chocolatey is still on Preview Releases, (BETA).

F.A.Q.​

This section contains specific F.A.Q. about questions that aren't covered by Official Arcturus F.A.Q. section. If you're experiencing any BUG/ISSUE with Arcturus, please read first the Arcturus F.A.Q. section. The F.A.Q. is available here.

The same applies for Chocolatey CMS, we recommend reading the Official Chocolatey's Wiki section, before creating any question here. The Wiki (F.A.Q.) it's available

Do i gotta change the emulator IP in chocolatey.php to the external IP or my local IP? (127.0.0.1) in order to connect from it through the internet?

When i change the emulator + chocolatey IP to localhost i can connect just fine, when i change both to the external IP the emulator can't connect to the host.

(the port is actually 3000)

 

[GemDG]

That's weird. The extra http// should actually be removed by Chocolatey. Didn't checked if this is still working. Will give a test.

Found the problem, I didn't download the updated CMS. Sorry!

Do you have a livedemo? I'm lazy to set it up.

Hi, it seems like the files a re a bit missleading, I had to put

in config/chocolatey.php in order for the page to display, but the text seems to be off and it keeps giving me an error with the captcha even tho it's set up correctly when I try to register.

Thanks.

Your hotelUrl in config/chocolatey.php must be exactly the same as the domain you're planning to access at.

For example, if you have configured:

[COLOR=#183691]'hotelUrl'[/COLOR][COLOR=#A71D5D]=>[/COLOR][COLOR=#183691]'http://www.habbo.com'[/COLOR][COLOR=#24292E],[/COLOR]

You can only access via

and not

or https://www.habbo.com, etc.

When i change the emulator + chocolatey IP to localhost i can connect just fine, when i change both to the external IP the emulator can't connect to the host.

To access out of your network, you must configure the emulator to your Public WAN/External IP.

If you can't connect to the host, its probably due to your Arcturus configuration. Make sure you bind to 0.0.0.0 in Arcturus config.ini.

The problem is that in every file, the links (hrefs) point to "url/habbo-web" instead of "url/public/habbo-web", so I had to set "hotelUrl" to "http://www.domain.com/public" instead of just the domain.

No you don't need. The .htaccess and web.config already do the job to rewrite the habbo-web folder. Please remove the /public/ in your url.

Ok, I've removed /public/ and the page is blank...

So then why does it work when I add "/public/" and when I don't it doesn't?

Are the default rooms on first entering the hotel supposed to be furniless?

Nope. We tested last version and should insert furnitures.

I think .htaccess isn't being loaded. Is it a Web Hosting Provider or just Apache?

Apache on an Ubuntu VPS from OVH..

EDIT--
I've managed to fix it now it works without /public, but the text still doesn't show properly, it shows the variables instead of the normal text. And also, it keeps asking me to do the human verification even tho I've done it...

That happens because you need configure `config/chocolatey.php` in the CORS line

Check this screenshot:

In the URL you're using

You must be registered to see links

, and in configuration is

You must be registered to see links

They are different locations. So you need or to put the correct url. Or add those domains in the 'CORS' configuration.

But it's preferrable put the correct URL.

I removed the www. and worked successfully.

Nope. We tested last version and should insert furnitures.

I know what it is.

Instead of relying on having the correct item or sprite ids, you should go through 'items_base', get the furniture that matches a certain item_name, and then use that to create the room.

The default database on Arcturus 1.6 has different item definitions from the ones you used to make the rooms, therefore it doesn't work properly anymore.

This shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes

I checked that this was the problem here:

EDIT: I said that before because you can't honestly expect that everyone is going to have the same items tables. Therefore, it will make your CMS much more usable in the wild.

@saamus thanks a lot for the help! Now the client gets stuck at 76% and I've checked everything but the variables have as url "//127.0.0.1" so I've changed them to "//www.domain.com" but I didn't know if the // were supposed to be there or if there was supposed to be a "http://" there...
Maybe it gets stuck to 76% because I get this error in the emulator?

"WARN io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelId - Failed to find a usable hardware address from the network interfaces; using random bytes"

Again, thanks a lot for your help.

On Arcturus set your listen address to 0.0.0.0

Put in your external variables //yourhotel.com without www. or http:// just //

Okay, I will create an Issue for it.

 

[GeorgeDG]

You mean the game.host ip?

 

[ovflowd]

You mean the game.host ip?

Yes....

 

[GeorgeDG]

Yes....

Are you sure it's not supposed to be 127.0.0.1? I've changed it to 0.0.0.0 still doesn't work

Weird, does you configured everything right?



Do a double check on SWF links and on external_variables. Check if port is right and IP address too.

They are all alright, here is the file:

But I'm not sure if I need to add /public in every link or not..
