Discussion /blox/ - Roblox General

cus it was funny
and because i needed a base for decal support. eg, each side has a decal, etc.
each side in data is represented by a number which I have to map to the mesh.

you know what would be funnier
adding code for explosions so we can nuke the niggercube

That'd be awesome, yeah. gonna focus on decal support and the basics of the engine though, like a proper day night cycle with the skybox. Once that is done, Multiplayer may come soon afterwards after I figure out how Roblox handles players and stuff, altho, Physics should come before that and more optimization to make sure the engine doesn't kill itself when physics starts happening. My goal is to emulate Roblox accurately.

Colabricks. already settled on that name. not calling it "soyblox" because not everything has to be about soy. Heres a banner I made for it.

I came up with the name when I wanted to think about what makes roblox so great, immediately Bloxy Cola came to mind, but "BloxyColaBlox" didn't sound great so I decided "ill call it colablox.. no sounds weird... i know, i'll call it cola bricks" and thus, colabricks. let me know if the banners need touching up or whatever, they're kind of a placeholder for now. if i release to public it will be kind of like an "Open Source Roblox Replacement / Emulator" thing, basically would just be normal old roblox but with better performance, vulkan support, no viruses, easier to host perhaps, easier to mod, and more. idk if ill ever get there yet, but i mgiht focus on making a great studio editor first because the old roblox studio just sucks in my opinion

specifically focussing on recreating 2008M for now and then work my way up to like 2012 or 2013 roblox, then add features for changing versions if people like certain versions, which is as easy as just disabling features, I'd hope.

old roblox but not a patched roblox client? would this be a clone or a revival? maybe both?

>mfw when we'll never get the pre-2016 roblox experience ever again and can just cling on to fading memories

Old Roblox Emulator, it's old roblox but developed in Godot, not a patched client, it is the roblox engine but basically reverse engineered from testing and observations.
It requires you to have an old roblox content folder with the textures and assets but in the future I plan on recreating old roblox assets as placeholders for people who don't have them.
Which means you'll hear my goofy ahh voice saying oof if you don't have content/sounds/uuhhh.wav

which sounds like this...

oof from ohio bruh

There's a lot of perks from doing this:
- Better performance, 2008M roblox is like 30 fps but my engine in GODot is 60FPS+ AND it runs on Vulkan.
- Better security, no viruses or rats etc
- Better customizability and modability, ease of use, better studio, etc. Maybe even a better file format to save places in rather than fucking XML
- Faster load times, maybe even a master server built into the game itself so you can just host servers and click on a place from the menu
- If I was a real genius you may even be able to play Roblox places in the browser itself but don't count on it, transferring places over the internet on the web might be hard to do.

Something like this requires you to have this stuff already, so I'm pretty much just gonna have to direct people to Novetus to go get the required files because I can't bundle it with the engine due to copyright concerns, but I can recreate the assets atleast, make my own textures, etc, and allow the games to download assets from Roblox. Infact, maybe it might be useful to upload the textures I need TO Roblox and then download it from Roblox. idk.

I've always loved Novetus but its just so slow, hard to host, no linux support, the studio is god awful, the play solo button is not a play solo button instead it puts you into studio and just ew i couid do that but better. I like Old Roblox but I don't wanna have to boot up wine to do so, so this is basically muh roblox on linux kinda thing. Could be transformed into a clone even.

Would it not be a good idea for us to play a game of Roblox sometime? There are some good games people already know of such as Zeppelin Wars have been mentioned previously.

The final two bosses have already been beaten so I'm not personally concerned if the server were to be closed. Although I'm not sure if Hagon or Steve would like to beat the boss rush before the server goes under forever since that is still yet to be overcome.

the rarria was fun while it lasted but i need to focus on more permanent projects as with rarria theres only so much you can do before some guy has completed everything and then its over
so many people myself included got filtered due to lack of boss progression when other slfs did it without everyone online
and the bosses would get like 10000k health with people online aswell.

I don't remember much from the early game probably as a result of progression I made during the day being obsolete by the time I woke up because I didn't get to fight many of the bosses. This only had stopped becoming a problem much later in the game around mid to late hardmode where it seemed me, Steve and Hagon were the only ones getting on, sometimes with dodder, and so we just waited for all three of us to be on before we fought any bosses. Unfortunately for the yuhropoors, they went to sleep before we usually got on and so they were locked out. Other people seemed to have lost interest, had issues joining the game or simply couldn't run modded. It was strange seeing the low player count nearing the end compared the apparent interest at the beginning.
