A question about the Shockwave client

Oh, this looks like the first post in this section! I’m a lover of old Habbo and I want to set up a nostalgic hotel with Havana. Quackster did an amazing job and his description and screenshots give me so many positive vibes.

I’m ready to start but I have a doubt: Shockwave is now very old and there seem to be few ways to make it easily accessible to a passionate but less tech-savvy audience. In Classic Habbo I saw a downloadable client that allowed quick access to the hotel with a simple executable file. Where can I get that?

Thanks so much in advance,
Plasto

Same code as everyone else minus SSO. Not sure if anyone has implemented it correctly minus parsnip and qwek.

But you do need to use Adobe Director to compile it and need the set of Xtras. @treebeard posted a guide that I followed on Discord. I’ll find the link and post it later. <3
 
Is there a way to use it on Mac? Otherwise I could cry watching screenshots

Yes, wine or wineskin allows for the emulation of native windows apps. It acts as a wrapper and allows you to launch exe’s just like any other application on a mac.

This is the guide @treebeard posted on Discord. Note this is for an older version of habbo but you would need to modify it to include the client "sw" numbers from client.tpl in Havana and it's params. Also when it's reading your external txt, vars you should duplicate those two files and only include your site links in http form rather then https. The projector WONT read modern https links and if you direct it to your normal external txt, vars it won't the projector won't connect.

First of all thanks for bringing this post here and thanks to @treebeard!

I had a look at the LeechProtectionRemovalHelp-Xtra repo but I didn't understand what files I need to put in my Xtras folder. I made a few attempts but without success.

IMO I would just wait for @Quacksters alternative. If you're really pressed on doing it yourself you need to find the Macromedia folder in your system files. Should be something like ProgramFiles_x86>Macromedia>Director MX 2004> Configuration> Xtras. The LeechProtectionRemoval needs to be in the Xtras folder when making the projector.

When you finish exporting your projector you need to have everything that's in your hotels dcr folder in a folder with your projector exe file 'minus your vars and external txt files' and you need to copy the Xtras folder directly from the Macromedia location into your projector folder. Should be a screenshot in that link I posted of the way the folder should look. Like I said, the client code posted in that Discord Link won't work without updating it to the v31 client code. Reference the client.tpl file and make adjustments to your projector code. Don't include SSO, or account id. Add "account_id=" to your external vars file instead directly at the top.

It really is hacked together... This is what worked for me.

I'm using Kepler and was able to successfully compile my .exe using Xtra folder from another retro to work. To have my own folder, which of the repository files should I put in my Xtra folder?

There are some files: source and release (https://github.com/tomysshadow/LeechProtectionRemovalHelp-Xtra/releases/tag/1.5.4)
Thank you!

I put all of them in Xtra. You should be able to copy and paste the Xtra folder directly into your Projector folder with the exe. I think the Xtra folder has to stay exactly the same as it was when you exported the project so literally just copy and paste it.

Your final folder should look like this.

OOOOF, I almost forgot make sure your Xtra folder has MultiUsr.x32 or else it won't load the hotel past the shockwave screen. https://discord.com/channels/524768066907668521/1048455340963938444/1089771841989660754

For some reason my install of Director MX 2004 didn't have it pre installed.

None of the Discord links you have posted appear to work anymore. Can you repost/relink this guide?

Also, I'm having issues with Director MX 2004 on Windows 11. When I run it (with or without XP SP2 compatibility mode) it appears to work fine however when I click the movie tab on the right I get a fatal error, and then an error telling me Director is out of memory and has to close (which is hilarious considering I think the actual requirement is like 10 MB lmao). Anyone have any idea on this or is it just a Windows 11 thing and I'll have to run a 10 VM to do this?

When you still in need of the MultiUsr.x32:
If you have the Shockwave Player installed on your PC, you can find the MultiUsr.x32 inside the following directory location:
Code: 
%windir%\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave 12\Xtras

Regarding your problem with Macromedia Director MX 2004, you can try to disable running the Director.exe as Administrator in compatibility mode, you need to open the properties of the Director.exe and switch to the compatibility tab, there you need to uncheck "Run this programm as an Administrator" and save changes with apply.
Maybe then after restarting / the director application help you to avoid the fatal error.

Already said I ran with and without compatibility mode, I never mentioned admin but did run it both without and without admin and it does the same thing.

I still have no idea what I'm doing though because none of those Discord links work.
