Site updates

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update about the site:

  • Enabled caching for some content, this will result in faster loading.
  • Sticky news items at the frontpage
  • Download image button at furni (works in news and furni pages)
  • Added site translations
  • Added Partner page (request partnership on our Discord)
  • Added Team page
  • Added Dump
  • Added Releases page (replaces the Version page)

I also improved our furni renderer, meet Alice. Alice will replace our old renderer called Frank and she has some nice new tricks:

  • Furni is posted directly when found (as a placeholder).
    • As soon as Alice rendered the furni it will be visible
    • Rendering is based on the Unity version, but when Sulake forgets to upload it we use the AIR (swf) files as a fallback.
    • If we are unable to render it we'll show a placeholder.
    • Furni is no longer "static" in news, when we have new information (like a name or description) it will be automatically added. We're looking in to adding additional information as well.
  • Support for colored furni (like rare_prize21 and rare_parasol)
  • Support for furni icons with multiple layers
  • Support for shadows
  • Support for lightning
  • Much and much faster
  • Lots and lots of issues fixed

We'll be re-rendering all furni in the near future, stay tuned :-)

In the next period we'll be focusing on these points:

  • Enable Registration, login and commenting
  • Update furni name and descriptions on a regular basis
  • Pagination for badges page
  • Adding badges, furni and clothes in our search results
  • Clothing page
  • Habbo Staff page

That's it for now, please reach out to me on Discord if you have any questions.

Mark
