Alright, I'm looking forward to more updates :) I like following this as it progresses

Updates
Atom, Retro Rails
During these days without any access to the interwebs, I've remade the entire GUI engine of the old Retro Rails, so I've ported it to Mac and made the basic controls classes (TextEntry, Button, etc.). And I've made a remote installer to Atom that will be available when you download the server. In the installer you can create the admin user, select through Habbo versions etc. And the installer will do all the work you need, such as creating MySQL tables, etc. The code will be released so developers can build their own multiplatform installers to their applications.
Developer Information
Even if the Mac version of the GUI is made in Objective-C, you don't need to know it to build your application, as the GUI has three layers:
1. Frontend (C++)
The project that contains the application windows, etc. This projects depends on gui_controls and gui_core
2. Controls (C++) - gui_controls
The static library (.lib/.a) that contains the controls such as Button, Frame, TextEntry, etc. code. It will be linked to the Frontend
3. Core (C++/Objective-C) - gui_core
The dynamic library (.dll/.dylib) that contains the core code, this project will communicate directly with the Operating System.
The GUI API is very easy to use, and all the controls (including windows) derives from Panel class.
The main procedure:Code:class Panel : public IBaseClient { GPANEL gpanel; public: GPANEL GetGPanel() { return gpanel; }; void SetStretchFlags(int flags); void SetName(const char* name); const char* GetName(); void LoadControlSettings(char* filename); bool IsPopup(); void SetPopup(bool state); SurfacePlat* Plat(); void SetPlat(SurfacePlat* plat); virtual void Paint() { }; void PaintTraverse(); void Invalidate(); void SolveTraverse(); int GetChildCount(); GPANEL GetChild(int i); GPANEL GetChild(const char* name); void Solve(); GPANEL GetParent(); void SetParent(GPANEL panel); bool IsVisible(); void SetVisible(bool state); void GetSize(int &wide, int &tall); void GetAbsPos(int &x, int &y); void GetPos(int &x, int &y); void SetSize(int wide, int tall); void SetPos(int x, int y); GPANEL GetPanelAt(int x, int y); HCursor GetCursor(); void SetCursor(HCursor cursor); virtual void SetProp(KeyValues* prop) { }; virtual void MousePressed(int key, int x, int y) { }; virtual void MouseMoved(int x, int y) { }; virtual void MouseReleased(int key, int x, int y) { }; virtual void OnChar(char c) { }; virtual void GotFocus() { }; virtual void LostFocus() { }; bool HasFocus(); void InternalMouseMoved(int x, int y); void InternalMouseReleased(int key, int x, int y); void InternalMousePressed(int key, int x, int y); void PostActionSignal(KeyValues* message); virtual MessageMapItem_t* GetMessageMap() { return 0; }; Panel(void); ~Panel(void); };
Code:int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { AlertCWD(); #if _WIN32 CSysModule* gui = ::Sys_LoadModule("C:\\hpm\\gui_core\\Debug\\gui_core.dll"); #else CSysModule* gui = ::Sys_LoadModule("libgui_core.dylib"); #endif CreateInterfaceFn factory = Sys_GetFactory(gui); bool bb = GUI_InitInterfaceList(&factory, 1); if(!bb) return 0; CAtomInstallWizard wiz; wiz.SetPos(100, 100); wiz.SetSize(465, 540); surface()->CreatePopup(&wiz); while(true) { surface()->RunFrame(); } }
Why not just use a cross-platform UI solution?
Because when I did it, I was without internet access. (and, in fact, i like to write my own code)Originally Posted by Funixeh
Anyway, developers can use any GUI system they want.
Any updates? Still looking forward to the release of alpha
Uh la la nice updates, Lab!
i can't wait, it's soooo OMG.... :D
after the release i'll hug you so hard it hurts >:D
Updates
Atom
I'm fixing some issues that appeared out of nowhere and I plan to open the test server again before the Alpha release since I have changed most of the server classes
Rewritten Plugin engine. Kernel classes are no longer exposed to plugins. Instead, class wrappers (abstract classes) are exposed, so the plugin cannot access and/or change critical functions and fields like user rank, password etc.
By the way, I'm coming back to school tomorrow, so I will have less time to keep Atom updated.

I hope you'll return and continue with the project.
Updates
Atom
Fixed a bug on Mac systems that would cause a FileNotException at launch time due to a statically allocated SimpleDateFormat (seems to be a Java runtime bug)
Implemented database cache. Room loading time with average items amount jumps from 130ms to 19ms.
Fixed several bugs on database cache.

I'm not going to stop updating Atom, but updates will be made in a larger timespan.

Nothing wrong with asking...
Anyhow the developer has asked me to run this beauty one more time, so expect a test hotel soon.
During this long time without updates, I was running Atom in a home server that received a stress test with many connections, bots mounted as normal users walking, surfing through rooms and talking randomly.

Atom
Made several changes to the MySQL database engine that should make items, rooms and etc loading much faster.
Fixed a bug where MySQL would stop working with a large amount of active connections.
Fixed a bug where walking to a non existent position on the room (x < 0 || y < 0 || x >= maxX || y >= maxY) would lead the room to crash.
The next test session will be focused on stress testing as local stress testing is a lot innacurate. I will see if I can place the server in one computer and the MySQL server on another. (I would probably need two VPSes on the same network)

x >= maxY?
If I'm not mistaking that's x coordinates greater than or equal to the max Y coordinates of the room.
My mistake. Should be x >= maxX.
Lab, if you need a server, you could use a dedi I have (not sure how long it lasts for, though).
Just PM for further details :).
