LMFAOOOO i have also noticed this.

but it does look cool very harry potter

[GoldenMerc]

Don't know what kind of Harry Potter you've been watching Lizzy.

[=Lizzy]

they duel on harry potter and its called duelling :l


OT: will there be more things like this added one day in the future?

[Jordan]

I have already told someone about it being mispelt. And I also found it didn't work so try reloading your browser. It worked for me afterwards.

If you set a Habboname in your profile it wont show as Santa!

[@]@Lizzie[/@] [@]@Samanfa[/@] I am not a spelling genius apparently! Thanks for pointing that out, I've corrected the spelling now :P

[Mr-Trainor]

I think it seems like quite a nice feature :D!

JUST TESTING IT NOW..X

i shall clear my cache

[GoldenMerc]

The problem i see is, that people just won't care, as its posted inside a thread. Would this be classed as pointless posting?

[HotelUser]

[@]@goldenmerc[/@] Yeah, I suggest if you do this in threads outside of spam that you still post ontopic and things!

[GoldenMerc]

I just don't see what use this has on a forum like this Dave, i'd much prefer a petition hack. Even so if i was you i'd release it on vBulletin.org !

[Zuth]

Very nice feature IMO! :D

[GoldenMerc]

What are the mobile works on this? Does it work using mobile? RELEASE DAVEEEE

[Chris]

Really nice idea, but wont this be abused?

[HotelUser]

[@]@GoldenMerc[/@] -shrugs- I wanted to create something more fun than that. Sulake doesn't allow us to have petitions as well so we cannot unfortunately have such a plugin. We have one for Habbox.com I've had to since suspend it after they contacted us. Ah well!

[GoldenMerc]

hate it how you call me goldenmerc jeez!
never the less why!? thats pathetic.

I only did that to trigger a mention. Agreed, but we can't do anything about it :P

[GoldenMerc]

What about releasing this to vb.org ;)

[dirrty]

pointless, will be forgotten within a few weeks and games like it should be confined to the arcade imo.

[GoldenMerc]

Giving a lot of lag in this thread;
http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=734684
Imagine its because [@]@Samanfa[/@] is a noob and posted a dual to me about 20 times?

[Alex3213]

Nice feature but...

I agree with this. Also will see random pointless posts from newcomers challenging people to do this because they don't know what it is.

Also when you're signed out the button to duel is still there for a heads up. Dunno if you can use it - never bothered, doubt it.

[Kyle]

wtf is this?

btw it's spelt duel

[GoldenMerc]

Maybe make it give me another notification once someone has clicked another square, as im just going to forget about it

[Kyle]

GoldenMerc [@]@GoldenMerc[/@] I challenge you to a duel!

[Mr-Trainor]

I think some kind of notification that it's your move would be good, but I'd rather it wasn't a PM :P. Just a bar (like VM) saying 'It's your turn with x' or something, and clicking it takes you to the post.

[MKR&*42]

It just never loads for me... :S

I cleared my cache and all that - everything else is fine, but it stays as "Loading..." for ages.

[Inseriousity.]

Lol I can't play it cos I cba upgrading my IE. :P
Although I've never really liked naughts and crosses anyway!

It would be neat, but I'm not sure I'll have time to do that before I leave.

Corrected!

Fixed, thanks for noticing that!

I'm currently investigating why it's not working for some users. If you could create a thread in the bug forums and post which browser you are using, as well as who you are attempting to duel when it doesn't work (or perhaps it never works), then that could really help speed things along!

In other words, because your rubbish at it?
Mike it requires 0 IQ you should be pro!

[HotelUser]

[@]@Inseriousity.[/@]; A member of management uses IE 8? Dear god man :(

[Kyle]

this is utter **** tbh can we restrict it to game forum or vms please

[GoldenMerc]

A option to turn it off, so people can't challenge you or it doesnt tell you or show you anyones would be really good

[Inseriousity.]

LOL that's why i don't like it. it's so easy. you just get 3 corners and them bam, you've won :P

[beth]

it's a nice feature, but it would be nice to idk turn challenges off or whatever cause i did one game with [@]@elegance[/@] and won and now i'm a bit bored of it haha. bit of a novelty. if yr gonna make like a duelling subforum and have comps for duelling like a tourny style thing with seeds and stuff then that's cute and maybe it can only be enabled there.

[Mark]

Could we get some sort of notification when the person we're playing has made their move? Like on HxL when there is a pop-up notification at the top right hand corner when the next DJ or event is on? So that when we click on it, it takes us to the game.
Is that possible?

I might be able to whip something up to put in UserCP to show ongoing games, I will investigate.

Yeah that would be good, at least some sort of notification to let us know what games we're playing. Cheers!

There also appears to be a strange image appearing when Scott challenges someone LOL

One of the funniest glitches Ive seen LOL.

Anyway, the duels dont seem to work for me. They just say "Loading".

Also, the duel button is gone.

I was playing with Ms.Aquamarine and since she has a . in her name she wasn't tagged properly

I don't get it can't we just fix the arcade instead that way more than 1 game can be played and it won't spam up the forum. Also I can't even use this feature because I'm not willing to shell out for Windows 7 just to get a newer browser - although I suppose congratulations are in order as you've finally shown me something that doesn't work on IE8

[Mikey]

i cant place my head when i duel.

Thanks Mark, it's been fixed!

I agree with you with regards to the arcade. I wouldn't mind doing some fixes to the arcade if they're pointed out to me before I leave. I'd also like to see the arcade being used more in competitions but that is up to forum management to utilize.

If you don't want to upgrade to Windows 7 for whatever reasons then that's your decision, but IE8 is just too outdated to handle some of the javascript the duel game consists of. On the few machines I have that don't have Windows 7 driver support (so I'm confined to XP), I use Chrome. It's a lot more speedy in terms of page rendering and a lot better in terms of plugin support and availability than IE 8. Even if you're just a casual web browser things like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and most Google services will run more fluidly in an updated webkit browser. Google has to disable several features on things like Google+ for IE8 users.

[FlyingJesus]

Think it's more likely that Bebo has a comeback than it is for anyone to actually start using Google+ so that's not really a problem lol

[HotelUser]

I'm not really sure how the odds look in terms of Google+ taking over, but IE8 is just a three year old band aid that eventually needs to come off :P

I would challenge you to a duel but your browser wont support it ;)

Damn how will I ever get my naughts and crosses fix now

4real though even DOS can work games more complex than this, how did you manage to make it so needlessly complex lol

[HotelUser]

It's not that complex, it just depends on several ajax requests which from what I can see IE 8 doesn't like to make. Anyway enjoy your DOS games and IE 8 Tom, again use what you want but... sheesh :P!

[GirlNextDoor15]

what is 'undefined'?

[Alex3213]

Just another thing I noticed that the dueling button is there in a PM also but doesn't do anything - should be removed? :)

Why is the Habbo head on my dueling character not my Habbo look, I swear I never even had that Habbo look. Or is it just random Habbo heads? :P

If you don't have a Habbo name setup in your profile it selects one of two generic ones.

[Jordy]

What if two people have the same heads? ;)

(Yes I logged into Habbo for the first time in 6 months to change my appearance in an effort to make a fairly pedantic point)

HotelUser [@]@HotelUser[/@]; I challenge you to a duel!

[HotelUser]

[@]@Jordy[/@] Then I guess challenge accepted for the players because programatically determining both images are identical is somewhat of a waste of a few (mil)seconds :P

[Recursion]

Use Imagemagick to add the first two letters of the user's Habbo name to the bottom right of the head.

... or that's what I would do :P

[HotelUser]

[@]@Recursion[/@] I sort of think that would look ugly (plus you could just use imagettftext of the GD library to do that!)

Same difference! I don't think it would look too bad if you did it in a small Verdana font in white with a black stroke.
