Snow In Your Client

[Joe Richardson]

I was recently looking on a foreign habbo forum and found this. It allows snow to fall on your client. This would be a cool little script for any hotel during Christmas time.

All you need to do is enter this script inside your client.php file.


<script src="http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/up/37821634957680146/neige/snowstorm.js"></script>
If you're wondering where to place it inside the file, look for these two at the bottom of the php file, and place the script between them.

Script would go here.

Thanks for that, i will add it to the thread.

It's funny when it's winter but I don't think it's very useful.

Btw, fix this:

Spoiler:

<script src=http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/up/37821634957680146/neige/snowstorm.js</script>

Become:

Yeah, i saw that. Thanks, also, yeah. It's more a winter thing, but i suppose atleast people can find it here for when that time comes.

It's best to host the file locally so you can speed up the loading times, rather than using someone else's host. Still, it'll slow down your client. But, good release I suppose. I still prefer the in-game snow furniture. Although, it makes you lag.

Adding this will definitely heat up the visitors pc dramatic causing an slow experience, not recommended to add.

If you really want it tho, the script looks fine :)

Wouldn't bother implementing this, as sated above. It looks too distracting as well.

You seriously think a bit of javascript is going to cause a slow experience?

What year is it, 1980?

I had around 10 users when i tested this. It was lag free. Bigger hotels may face a problem, but i doubt it. They'd have to try it i suppose.

Yes.

It depends on how many objects that are on the screen moving at the same time (in this case it's snowflakes). Let me guess it's 40-50 snowflakes by default. Some users may find it laggy playing a retro, running some other applications maybe listening to music and running this script at the same time.

I didn't say all, but some. It's definitely a cpu waste.

@Joe Richardson
This doesn't have anything to do with how big the hotel is or how many users it has, it's about the clients computer. It's a local JS script, not a server sided. :)

[Joe Richardson]

Yeah, i didn't think when i posted my message. You're right :)

How?
mysite.com/script.js load faster than notmysite.com/script.js ?

Yes, in most cases it acctully does. It has todo with ping, serverload and what http server software you are using. nginx is better for hosting static files than an apache server, for instance. In most cases using your own mirror is faster than a public mirror because of the reasons mentioned above. Also, when you host at your own webserver you have better cache control.

In Habbo Retro reality it's 47ms vs 47.1ms.
There will be no difference or local hosting will be even slower.

In your country maybe...

Put that script tag in the body tag and the load time will be the same as before but only the snowstorm file will load in the background and may put the snowflakes later on.


Also, 40/50 snowflakes on a screen makes your pc lagg? well, did you know a normal game with fancy 3d graphics makes even more calculations to render the graphichs then chrome/w.e. does to render the snowflakes?

In general, flash sucks as we all know. A bussy room in Habbo makes your client lagg even worse then 1000 snowflakes.

Still... Thanks for the release.

Thanks for this!

You're very welcome.
