HabApp - Habbo Desktop Client Base (Electron, Angular7 & TypeScript)

[Emily]

There's no HTML5 client working 100% just like there's no emulator working 100%. This community is built on 40% releases, not 50, 60 or 80. 40%. The most well known emulators barely have achievements working, none of them have the mini games working by default, let's not even try to acknowledge wired which may or may not work just at the cost of a memory leak decimating your 2 user daily hotel.

Community can upgrade to HTML5 or die. Nobody wants to download some shenanigans, especially built on Electron which requires a 50 terabyte computer for a 1mb angular project

40%? I'd like to know where the 40% is coming from. I think most emulators have a terrible achievement system (where logging in X days in a row works as amount of logins) and no minigames but the main part is complete. I would call it an 80 to 95% finished emulator. 50 terabyte? That sounds stupid, no offense.

Also, regarding your other post; you make a point, keep in mind it isn't bad if a game supports a web client and a desktop client. And, the 5 user thing will only get fixed if HTML5 is done the right way, when it works flawlessly on the phone. Hell, I'd be against this and say the client needs an app which works the same way as the HTML5 client. Smartphones are the way to go, people like being on their phone more than being on their PC or laptop. Making it easier for those people is gonna fix the 5 user hotels, not JUST upgrading to HTML5.

I clearly did not mean a literal 40% nor 50 terabytes. 40% is to show that hardly any of the emulators in this scene work with
1. All of Habbo's functionality - I mean we're reverse engineering this game, why do we not try to copy their actual functionality?
2. Or it does have Habbo's functionality, but with serious performance implications making it almost unusable
3. It has 50/50 of both bullet points and costs money.

The scene already has big problems trying to just reverse engineer a fully completed SWF client readily available. So why people think HTML5 would be 100% functional and complete when Sulake themselves have yet to provide a HTML5 variant of their client is laughable, implausible and downright hilarious. I'm not the best developer or in the best amongst this scene. But I can at least be sober enough to admit that it's stupid to downplay the amount of work needed for HTML5; especially when the scene never could figure out Shockwave or Flash clients.

If people wish to continue wasting their time following electron tutorials for a "downloadable client" that just contributes to software bloat on their end users; so be it. But I encourage people to quit wasting time and contribute to the future of this scene if they want it to continue.

Shockwave died.
Flash is dying.
HTML5 or die

To all of the idiots replying to the clearly skewed percentages and statistics; welcome to the English language. It's called exaggeration.

I come from a time where I grew up on hamachi hotels . I knew plenty of people who downloaded that just to play retros. The Scene itself is dying because the lack of interest in Habbo itself. This thread in this forum is dying when it used to be one of the most popular sections on here. They’ve added to much useless poop and took out key poop that people loved, BATTLE BALL, WOBBLE SCOBBLE (Idk the correct way to spell it), Diving, CASINOS!, Trade rooms, Market place and the added tax on coin purchase sucks..., the overall feel isn’t Habbo tbh... A lot of us come from a time where half this poop just looks plain dumb. You could once in this section and make thousands every month or so off a hotel (Thank you Aaron for Phoenix, meth0d for Uber, Nillus and who ever else I forgot ITS BEEN YEARS I WISH I HAD MY OLD FORUM account. GREAT release man you contributed SOMETHING. This community isn't as great as it used to be..

This has gone pretty much off-topic tbh, the point is: no front-end user is gonna be willing to download an external client to play on one out of a million rip-offs of Habbo (which is gonna have a fully function web-browser client before 2020,

) just to interact with a single user online. It's just common sense + I've got experience with a standalone launcher and Habbo.

Back when the Swedish retro community was a thing, I ran a R63, or whatever it was called, hotel with a stable playerbase. One day, my stupid mind decided "hey, let's make a desktop client, that'd be cool". No, that was the end of that hotel.

Now that I've got a bit more experience, I can straight up say if I, as a front-end user, would be redirected by a retro to download their desktop client. I'd yeet myself out of there faster than I was yeeted out to life.

That's your opinion, but it's still no reason for your hate.

In Germany there is currently a Habbo Retro which provides a desktop version (HabboST) and the users have it installed.
So where is your problem?

Be grateful that someone will release it and make it freely available, as long as no one has developed a client for 2020 so that the scene does not die out.

You're talking a lot of poop for someone in cumshot distance

Your ah lie, Your user base died because you tried to switch to a desktop application? "Your home go drunk." That's exactly how you sound. Your forum account is barley wet behind its ears. People downloaded plenty of things just to play Retros.. Be real.

Why deleted the repository of GitHub. Im interested to have the code, thanks

 

[LukasCCB]

happy to have this project.but unfortunately the project was deleted by the user on github.

oh lastima, me parecio ver en la pagina que los enlaces funcionaban, ahora solo ya lo quitaron

same wigga

 

[AsmodeusGr]

no es problema tuyo, o si?

 

[Jacob Lucado]

lol, this was a fun thread to read. wheres all the mods for this? LMAO

 

[Gaby]

This might actually become needed in the future. When Habbo switches to a new technique (since Flash will T.T in 2020), someone will have to come around to "steal" this new technique, so retros can use it. Till then a downloadable client might be the only option. It's good that you don't sit around and wait until Habbo pulls the plug out of their Flash client and switches to their new technique right before Flash will be kicked out.

Hi guys,
today I'm gonna release my Habbo "Desktop Client" made in Electron using Angular7.

• API
• Login
• Client
• JWT Middleware
• Discord Rich Presence

Using:

• Angular7 (frontend)
• Sequelize (Sequelize-Typescript)
• Express
• node http
• passport
• passport-jwt
• cors (not configured yet)

Preview:

App:

there will be no support from my side. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thx x)

#edit

use this only for development purposes - you may must change few things for production

Hello, do u still having the files?
Can u publish it? Tnx u!

It's not entirely hard to make a similar client. You just need Electron with Flash embedded.

Here's some relevant docs:

There are efforts towards building a Flash Player Emulator in WebAssembly coded in Rust, it's by a member of the Newgrounds community.

I have a feeling Habbo wouldn't run 1:1 unless they somehow are able to shove all networking through WebSockets.

This also does the trick, if you're so inclined:
