Poor quality.. for me its fine trying running it via the console and see what it outputs..

[Method]

Hmmm...

Im using ubuntu 7.04

[Splinter]

The quality isnt that bad, apart from abit of lag on hotel view but apart from that it runs just like normal.

[Method]

It facks up.

ill do a screenie :D and BTW in wine firefox for windows looks weird :S

[Splinter]

Ye because its set to Windows 95 or something :)

[Method]

Why don't you use the Ubuntu default version of Firefox?

[Method]

LOL ARE U STUPID

shockwave doesn't run in linux :l only under emulators -REP

[Splinter]

Why don't you use the Ubuntu default version of Firefox?

Because a shockwave plugin for linux firefox dosent exist so you need to use Wine to emulate both shockwave and firefox so they run :D

That looks horrible.. Is it something to do with fonts that are installed on the OS?

[Method]

Not only is the fifa room horrible but man that sucks, i use crossover office now with ie and it rocks! ill hit up a screenie later

There is a shockwave plugin for Linux becase ive downloaded it and used it :rolleyes:

Infact: Shockwave, Flash and Authorware (wth?): http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ - Has download links for linux :rolleyes:

Flash:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4

Get the tar.gz one:
.tar.gz installation


Click the "Download .tar.gz" link. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_9_linux will be created.
In terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. Click Enter. The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.
Im using CentOS 4.3 (or 4.5 cant remember xD) but its the same principle...

Thats flash player not shockwave player. There is no shockwave player for linux.

[Recursion]

Yes, and its flash you need for habbo, Ive always used flash player ?

EDIT: Oh Nvm :P

[Splinter]

Nope its shockwave :)

[timROGERS]

Looks to me like a font problem then. If Ubuntu has TrueType support, get the Volter and Verdana files.

[Splinter]

Think you have top copy them info /home/*user*/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts so they will work via wine.

[Shawnstra]

My mate uses Ubuntu, it works :)

[Method]

hmm.. ill try that if it works you all get rep

[CHTom]

Habbo will not run in ubuntu without using third party software to emulate a windows shockwave applet, such software as crossoveroffice etc.. but at that its still very tempermental.

[Tenatious]

That isnt a font problem. I get it on Windows sometimes. It happens if your on other sites at the same time as habbo. Just close habbo and reopen it and it normally corrects itself.
