Hi all,
Not a dev question for once. I'm trying to find a set of files from Habbo's 2006 Christmas campaign and I've run out of places to look.
habbochristmas.com ran a 25-door advent calendar that December. Behind each door was a short Flash cartoon, "Rasta Santa in... No Snow Yet", the ones where he's trying to make it snow and getting nowhere, about a minute each. Every door was its own file, loaded by the page shell:
06/swf/day1.swf ... day25.swf
06/swf/default.swf (the "door's not open yet" one)
The shell survives. I've got main.swf, the e-card, the mobile build and the whole 2005 version of the site off the Wayback Machine. What I don't have is a single day file, and they're not in the archive either: habbochristmas.com started answering the Internet Archive crawler with 403 on 5 December 2006, day five of the calendar, so none of it was ever captured. The only hits in the index are 404 pages from 2012-13, from someone else looking for exactly this.
So I'm asking here in case someone kept a mirror, has an old retro pack with the campaign in it, or still has a 2006 download folder sitting around.
Worth adding: 20 of the 25 cartoons do survive as video, from the 2006 YouTube rips. Days 12, 13, 14, 19 and 23 don't exist in any form, no SWF, no video, nothing. Two independent rips and Habbo's own 2015 compilation all stop at the same 20 episodes, so those five are completely unknown right now. That's the part that bugs me.
I've put everything I did recover here, with hashes, plus a write-up of every source I've already ruled out so nobody repeats the work:
https://archive.org/details/habbochristmas-2006-recovery
If you have any of the day files, even one, upload it to the archive or drop a link in this thread. Partial is better than nothing.
Thanks.
