Okay, to start off, yes, I did get this idea from another thread. But, seeing as the administrators ignored it, I guess I'll have to go over the basics of it.
If you want to read the original post, go here:
http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=16213383&PageIndex=1
If you do not want to read the whole thing, read *paragraphs 2 and 3, they are the important parts.
________________________________________
Anyways, when you play ROBLOX, it seems like it makes your computer download two things. One of these things are "ROBLOX Studio", and the other one is "Play ROBLOX". Those are the only two things that I see downloaded. But why doesn't the actual game download onto your computer?
The problem with ROBLOX is that your computer plays everything off of the ROBLOX server. Your computer has to count on the ROBLOX server to load the physics, brick properties, GUI properties, and everything else like that. With all of the people doing this all over ROBLOX at the same time, that has to cause quite a bit of lag.
Instead of how it is in *paragraph 2, why doesn't everything needed download? Things that are very commonly used, or need to be used. Like the brick properties. If just the brick properties alone downloaded onto your computer, the game would already move much smoother. Since all bricks have the same properties, this is possible. The same thing goes for any other thing that is used in ROBLOX games that always has the same properties.
ROBLOX is the fastest at downloading out of all the online games I know, because it only downloads the two things mentioned in *paragraph 1. If ROBLOX were to download the stuff mentioned in *paragraph 3, then maybe we would have a much faster game. Though, ROBLOX would take much longer to download, and the games would take longer to load up at first, it would all be worth it for the in-game speed.
____________________________________
Now, a lot of people didn't wanna read the orignal post, because of it's length, so they didn't read anything. But if you want all the details, use the link at the top of the post, and read through that.
I hope this gets used, since when I first read about it, I thought it was the best thing ever posted in the S&I forums.

I have support. -gives support cake- :3
This is a very logical theory but most little kids would be confused by this.
Little Kids > Teens and others
THerefore, Roblox wouldn't listen |

Well, a lot of people don't like lag. If ROBLOX doesn't listen to this, then they don't know that they're doing. When most people find a game without lag that is also online, they'll move over there to try that game out. The biggest complaint in online gaming is lag, so some people look for the game that lags the least. ROBLOX needs to use this, or else they are going to lose more people, who might stay if they use this idea. |

All of the physics and stuff are handled by the server, if they were handled by the client then there would probably be tons of issues, plus, it would likely be even laggier.
The only thing that this could possibly apply to is for you to have to download every place to your computer before playing, and because it's all user-made and people visit tons of places, this would make it even laggier and possibly make people able to do bad things to your computer with some exploits.
So basically, this idea is bad.

Haha, Mrco is right. Though I am pretty positive that this would require everybody with roblox on their computer already to redownload it. Else you'd be stuck in a pretty large patch.
I know most MMOs uses the same principles, and few people complain about lag. However, with many files being locally stored, Roblox would have to make a system 'like' GameGaurd. Simply just to make hacking roblox difficult, and too much work for the newbie hacker out there.
There wouldn't be much gain from hacking and editing the local files though, since all the values would be changed as the game started up (For instance, FF Time.)
I support, but I think that you wont get many people repling to this idea. People who don't know what you are talking about tend to ignore the post. (I've had that happen with one my building ideas before...Had a few good posts on it, but eventually died.) |

Mr. Coo is right. Not to sure if this would work.

Look, it will not make it lag more. The lagging is a problem with your computer loading all this stuff from the internet. Why do you think it skips everytime someone spawns? In a game like SFOTH IV, where there's tons of people, there's almost always someone spawning, which makes the lagging so much worse. I wanna play non-laggy ROBLOX, not...Whatever you call this. ROBLOX just needs to do this already, since really, it will actually cost them less the run servers after. |

Hey, if it will stop lag, I'm in. |

Look, there's a reason I didn't explain myself fully, because if you look in the post from the other person, a lot of people didn't read the whole thing. I'm sure what you said is answered in the original post, go look for it, since I don't know how to explain it. |

Notice that it only downloads some of the stuff so that nothing can be messed with a.k.a. hacking/cracking into the files.
Most of the stuff is in AppData>Local>ROBLOX. If anymore were in there, it would be COMPLETELY editible, such as MC.
No support.

What's gonna happen if something is edited? The only thing that really will happen is that ROBLOX will not respond with they edited version, meaning that they cannot enter ROBLOX servers. ROBLOX can make filters for this, they are well capable of doing it. |

I don't know if the post above made sense, and if it didn't, then I don't know how to explain it. |

Trust me, things can be edited, and it will still respond to the server, since the server is basically now mostly running on your computer.

Look, read the original post. Your stuff can be answered there. Whatever I explain past the first post will be questioned over and over again even if I do answer it, which I don't know how to explain it. You'll get a better understanding if you read the original post. And to be honest, that's where I want the administrators to look again. I don't really care if they completely ignore my post. |
