Arcturus Morningstar - 2.0.0 Stable - The Arcturus Community Fork

[Harmonic]

What is Arcturus Morningstar?
Arcturus Morningstar is the community project for Arcturus Emulator by TheGeneral.
The community project was made because the Arcturus Emulator has been abandoned by TheGeneral with lack of updates, an intent to monetize the project, and make the project private.

TheGeneral's own words were "dont like it then dont use it". We did not like what he was doing, with the project, so in accordance with the GPLv3 License, we have made our own version and made the sourcecode publicly visible for all.

Why should I use Arcturus Morningstar?
This version of Arcturus is how the project should have been from the start, open source, backed by a team of developers - not just one person, and kept up to date with the latest features and bug fixes.
Anyone may contribute to the project by downloading the source, and creating pull requests through git.
We are still keeping the core values of Arcturus the same - it should be an exact Habbo replication, with a powerful Plugin API for customization.
We have already removed all exploits/potential exploits, and fixed bugs that crash the entire emulator.
All reported bugs will be replicated and prioritized and fixed according to how the ability should function on Habbo.
Because we have a team of contributors, there's plenty of people to help you if you experience problems.


Why did we start Arcturus Morningstar?
The main creators of this project run their own hotels, that need important bug fixes and the latest features to keep their hotels running smoothly.
The Arcturus source code was found on github, leaked by the person "capheus". This gave us an opportunity to easily fix major bugs ourselves without waiting months for Arcturus to update.
We understand that a lot of people depend on Arcturus to operate their hotel, so instead of just fixing bugs for ourselves we have started a public project, for anyone to use.


2.0.0 has now gone stable, meaning it has been tested on multiple hotels, and has no major issues with may impact your hotel! We've found so many interesting bugs along the way, but hey that's part of the Journey. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project so far. Here's to 2.0.0! Time to start on 2.1.0! Remember, any minor issues, or major bugs will be pushed in a future 2.0.1 update, but new features will have to wait! Game of thrones may be finished, but winter is coming to Morningstar!

A new version of PNGCamera will be released today for you all, and a new tutorial on setting up Morningstar!

Any questions? Feel free to post them and I'll try to help you as best as I can!

 

[Emily]

PNGCamera? What was that (again)?

Also, good release I guess. Still have honest mix feeling about this whole situation but I trust you do something nice with it, and not letting it become another horror "community" project (if we can even really call it like that).

I'm not sure how Arcturus really worked (I didn't use it much and when I did I was more focused on other things), but I assume you done a decent amount. It looks good anyways.

 

[Sabbo]

Arcturus is how the project should have been from the start, open source, backed by a team of developers - not just one person

The ironic thing about this statement is that without that one person, the project wouldn't exist in the first place and none of what you individuals are doing would exist. You would all be waiting for the next big thing to be released in this community, to just rip it apart and screw over the initial developer. No wonder no developer wants to help rebuild this community

 

[Guarloko]

Very good use and total recommend, the project is great!

This scene was made on leaks, and if you've been around since 2007 you'd know that the first v1 emulator that people used 'mdk v1' wasn't even made by mdk...

It was leaked by him. Noticed you haven't commented this on the comet leak, and it's the exact same thing. Creating a closed source emulator with paid updates isn't going to 'change' this scene.

PNGCamera? What was that (again)?

The plugin which allows you to take camera pictures without a server rendering the room.
The client sends the picture as a PNG instead.

So the unofficial way of doing camera? Why do that instead of the original method?

Originally it creates a json file, which renders everything in the picture. That way it's lets scriptable.

You mean the PNGCamera method is less scriptable? But does it work the rest of the camera (from a player's POV) work the same?

I think he meant the original implementation is less susceptible to scripting. Personally, I think that simplifying things at the cost of a few penises or other hotel logos in a picture is a lot better way to go. People will always spend way too many hours trying to script things and over complicating a simple camera to fight scripting would lead to more tech debt in the long run.

Personally i have no idea how to script. I believe the png camera is easier to script than the json (NGH has claimed their camera isn't scriptable i believe, and they use json) but i agree with LeChris on the topic, as adding furni etc to the camera is hard on json files, aswell as they rely on ids from the DB aswell, where the png picture is final.

@LeChris & JoshuaS I can see where you are coming from. I mean, as long as it doesn't change anything from the user's POV, it's okay. Although - and I know this doesn't happen much - would you want a hotel full of potentially scripted NSFW photo's knowing there could be younger people on it? Again, I understand where you are coming from, but I'd say, always do the best you can to make the environment as safe as possible (and as least scriptable as possible). Again, that's just how I see it and whatever happens, I'll respect it.

That's true, and it does change other users POV, but i don't think a lot of people do it anymore, and those who know how to, have better things to do today.

 

[Harmonic]

Wesleys own camera is scriptable too... And he doesn't know how to fix that, as unfortunately you can also script on habbo using the same method. They're both as bad as each other, the difference is you can remove the limit on items in the photo in pngcamera if you modify the swf.

Just for reference, habboon also uses the png method for their camera.

I think it's unfair to place blame onto the developer's to over-complicate features due to younger user bases. We should instead as a society look down on the scripters, especially for exposing younger generations to NSFW pictures.

But, as apart of the internet - NSFW stuff lurks around every corner and almost every retro has horrible problems with keeping stuff SFW. Now say, if this was a script that could compromise security, open up to XSS and so forth - it would be worth the extra effort to prevent. But it's just seeing a titty when really you took a picture of a throne.

 

[Squashing]

Emulators are looking good now (after my hibernation of 7 years). Chapeau!

 

[DeniTO]

I am using Morningstar since it came out, and its great.
The overall Support and the Work that is being made to the Git daily are awesome.
I can only recommend this Emulator to everyone who wants a up-to-date Emulator.

Personally i have no idea how to script. I believe the png camera is easier to script than the json (NGH has claimed their camera isn't scriptable i believe, and they use json) but i agree with @LeChris on the topic, as adding furni etc to the camera is hard on json files, aswell as they rely on ids from the DB aswell, where the png picture is final.

I hope y'all really understands how the original Habbo camera works. So well, let's go on over this, and let uncle Claudio explain how the camera system works.

Basically in the moment you take the "Selfie" the Habbo Client sends a packet containing a jSON. This jSON basically describes all the assets that together create the final image. The jSON will contain information of each sprite, including position (X, Y, Z), colours, wallpapers, Habbo's, and etc.

Working with the jSON generation, it's more secure, since it totally makes scripting impossible, in the meaning of defacing and adding unintentional or not related content. Of course, you can change the pieces of the jSON to make a custom image, but that's it. And that's not an exploit, you're just sending different arguments toe the script.

The script works in the following way:
1. The jSON contains the Room Id, Timestamp and User Id
2. The jSON also contains information of all the sprites and their positions and variations.
3. The image is generated by combining all those pieces.
4. An image is saved by using the combination of the Timestamp and Room Id.
5. The Script returns to the Server the final file name.

Why this method is harder to make it succeed? Like everything, you had to reverse engineering Habbo's Camera Server, by making different combinations of the jSON.

Also you would have to extract all the assets from the Habbo.swf and the hof_furni folder. Also you had to extract them in a very specific file naming.

So, basically that's a hell of a work. It's literally more easier modding the Habbo.swf to send in the packet a PNG/JPEG stream containing the final result. And the reason is obvious, security. By allowing to the Emulator/Server to receive any kind of PNG/JPEG chunk/stream in the Packet, you're able to literally send any kind of image. It's basically impossible to do filtering or validation on these scenarios. Of course, I'm not giving the possibility that you would add some TensorFlow libraries and add some MachineLearning and Image pattern recognition on your Emulator, because, well. That's using Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer) on a little ant.

So that's why Habbo created this way. The jSON one. As far I remember I was the only one that actually created a successful implementation of it. But if I recall correctly, Wesley also created his own Habbo Camera Server in Java, for Arcturus. He never shared. But his implementation was literally amazing. Since he could use the advantages of Java Image manipulation libraries.

On my side, I was doing it with PHPs builtin image manipulation libraries, that suck. Since I wanted to make an easy library that anyone could use. If I added Imagick for example as a requisite, almost no one would have used that script. Since it requires custom installation and PHP library installation.

Sorry for the big off-topic. Here's an invisible potato.

About this release. Great work for the team. I hope the project goes on indefinitely and brings back the nostalgia of collaboration and open source.



TL;DR: PNGCamera it's not a good thing. But still a lot more easier.
