Have you ever missed the good old days of Roblox? Not from 2009 heavens no! but from when roblox was in its prime. Before the developers sold out to google, and when games actually worked. Now Roblox has updated their software so much that some of the greatest games have suffered the most. Many of my games have suffered as well. One game in particular; that I worked so hard on, Shootzone, has become utterly destroyed by Roblox. I just don't have the time to fix it anymore.
However something occurred to me, roblox never completely overhauled their engine. They've just been updating the same old software over and over and over again. It should be possible, even quite easy, to include a backwards compatibility function for developers. This would be something maybe in the options of the game, or in the game's directory itself, that can easily be changed. Say a developer had a game that worked in 2011, but was broken in 2012. All they would need to do is click a check-box in the game configure settings that tells Roblox to run the game in 2011 mode.
Better yet, how hard would it be for the users to make a plug-in like this. A plug-in that simply made scripts work like they used to. I'd love to develop this plug-in but I haven't a clue how the ROBLOX engine software works and what aspects they changed to cause scripts to no function anymore. |

This belongs in S&I.

I question the validity of this thread.

I figured it belongs here because I'm more requesting help with the user Plug-in portion of this topic rather than a suggestion to the devs. |

maybe plugins work differently but heres a script line that solves 50% of the issue.
game.ServerScriptService.LoadStringEnabled = true
Boom *drops mic* |

Is personal attack still a thing on ROBLOX? I'm now the 5th person you've call moronic and it's really a bad habit you'll need to kick if you want to stay on these forums. |

Being a moron is a bad habit and you should kick it if you want to stay in this sub forum. |

6 times you've expressed your hatred, thusly, you've been reported 6 times. Would you care to make it seven? |
|
|
You do realize that you are likely to get banned yourself if you report someone more than once just because you don't like them?

If you are not willing to keep up-to-date with updates you shouldn't be here.
|
|
|
I don't care how many times you reported me because I won't be banned because I didn't do anything wrong.
I wasn't attacking you. You are either a moron or a troll, and if you are trying to troll that also makes you a moron. |

Seven it is. Also I'd like to make it known that personal attack has been an offense and violation of Roblox rules since the site began the Forum program. I'm not trying to troll I was simply bringing your attention to an issue several developers are dealing with; I was hoping at least one of you may approach the issue with a helpful attitude or maybe one of you knew what the developers changed to cause the immense amount of issues. |
|
|
The only developers who are having issues with updates are the ones making crappy barely working games, apparently like you. |

obviously you've never tried making something actually worth playing. If you did you'd realize its hard to fix something if you have no idea what the exact problem is to begin with. |
|

If Roblox updates broke your game, tough luck, just fix it. Seriously, that's all there is to it. I do understand that you can't fix it because you don't understand the scripts, but maybe you can hire a scripter or something. Or make a new game by yourself.

Oh ok, "just fix it" real original idea. Also how can you just assume that I don't understand scripts that I wrote? Yeah Roblox updates broke my game, I'd love to just find the problem and fix it. Well you know what? the new F9 console says its works 100% perfectly. I have 7 scripts in the game that could be the problem, each one of these scripts has over 500 lines of code and if it was as simple as a syntax error I would've fixed the problem when it first showed up. The problem is the way the old script interfaces with the new Roblox physics protocols. Its not like I can just hire a scripter to fix that because at the end of the day he'll be right here on these forums asking the same questions. The only people who can help me are the ones who designed the roblox software and the users who already fixed the problem. You know what else? Those users who fixed the problem either stole it and took credit for fixing the problem, or quit roblox after fixing it because they became tired of roblox updates screwing it all up. |

Here is what I was hoping to get out of this post:
somewhat intelligent and nice guy:
"Oh do you mean the blah blah update of such and such a date in such and such a year? Yeah in that update dev changed the do-hickey to the whatever its called and as a result every game had problems with there blah blahs. You can google how to fix it."
me:
"wow thanks, Thats really insightful and helpful, I'll do that"
Later after googling:
me:
"now I know that the problem is blah and i think i use that in script number blank, i'll just fix that"
Problem was solved.
That's all I wanted was to not be insulted, degraded, and patronized by users with a superiority complex. |

So thank you all for the sarcasm and the hate responses, I'll be sure to use that to my advantage to maybe succeed in nothing at all. So lovely that when I need assistance on a simple problem I get instead flooded with useless responses from users who for all intents and purposes may as well be ten year olds. |

Learning to debug when you don't have any errors (Well no errors in the output, you obviously have an error of sorts if the code doesn't do what you want.) is about as important as learning syntax.
If your stuff was made better you wouldn't have to fix it when roblox makes an update. |

Yeah well no thanks to you the problem is called a humanoidrootjoint and it was added by Roblox so any game with torso cframing suffered the issue. If one was the most skilled Lua Programmer in the entire world, they wouldn't have been able to predict and prevent that. So thanks for being ignorant and posting when you haven't a clue what you're talking about |
