Sorry for taking forever to post this, but I hit an in-active stage, but it’s back! I decided this will be my last chance to input (maybe too late) my suggestions for Roblox Studio whilst they are fixing the bugs. No TL;DR because that would defeat the purpose of Roblox REVISED.
Previous versions: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=89070058 (so much neater isn’t it?)
Stuff covered in this thread:
Services
Leaderboards
Workspace
Animations (3D and 2D)
Meshes
Respect System
Sounds
GUI
Ok we’re gonna start off with a new service; a service is: (if you already know skip this): A service is listed in the explorer of Roblox Studio, every service has a specific use e.g. Workspace is used mostly for bricks and scripts, it is used to organize places and some have properties that alter the game: like lighting is used for fog and ambient.
The leader board can be edited with a script right? So why not make it a service to make it more user friendly? You could insert LeaderBoard values in it, in the proprieties you could edit the name and value (number). For example you insert a LeaderBoard value in LeaderBoard, name it: "Owners" and put this script in it (if you don't know how to script then skip this):
local part = game.Workspace.BOB
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent then
local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum then
Stats = game.Leaderboard:GetLeaderBoardFromCharacter?(hum)
Stats.winners.Value = Stats.winners.Value+1
end
end
end)
or maybe add the ability to add values in the properties in the Player?
How this could be useful: It would make editing the leader board more user friendly and easier to use.
For my second part I’m going to talk about the Workspace, If you do not know what the workspace is then it is a service in the explorer, where usually all the parts are located.
I think it would be cool if you could edit the way things are displayed in the workspace. You could make it display objects in alphabetical order no matter the object, or from last-first object placed, or first-last object placed, that’s all I have for now but if you have any ideas don’t be scared to post below. A search bar would be also useful.
Now you’ve probably heard of the respect system Roblox is talking about, if not then look at the blog. Well I thought if you had enough respect you should be able to add (users shall be able to take them like models and should be able to be added to sets):
Meshes: I don’t know mesh files but allow the most popular ones (comment them down below for me?), you would need quite a lot of respect for this and they should be placed in a new “meshes” tab in the inventory. They would be moderated and can be reported.
Sounds: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=81667261
3D Animations: Roblox should give us access to their animating program if we have enough respect we could upload animations using the program (maybe too complicated?). They should be added in a new “Animations” tab in the inventory. Moderated and reportable, Requires a lot of respect.
2D Animations: .GIF files if we have enough respect (not a lot required) GUI’s would be much easier to animate utilizing this. They would be saved under the “Decals” tab, when viewing you would see the animation.
This would make game making a lot more professional and customizable experience. I know you can animate but it is a huge hassle and requires a lot of math, and huge source codes.
The Roblox set in the toolbox was useful but is missing a lot of objects. I suggest Roblox add “sounds” sets in the toolbox categorized like this: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=76743451. I also think they should add simple GUI elements like buttons, a Text Label positioned like a hint, a simple textbox, make GUI a more of a drag and drop experience (if you have any more additions in mind please suggest on this thread).
Also I have a pet peeve with personal servers and that is that you cannot go in edit mode with them. Only owners and admins would be able too, also could be used for learning. For example: say you want to learn how to script, so some guy in say a scripting helpers group says: "I can help you just make me admin at your personal server" so he/she does, he/she tells you how to insert the script and help. Also you should be able to watch as he types on the script. So you can watch as he types the script, so you can learn from and he/she can explain, etc. So this way if you have an abusive admin you can find out who it is, and monitor all the scripts.
And finalment (French) with this new Studio people are complaining, a lot of new features were added, so I suggest make a video tutorial to Roblox Studio, that explains all the new features, and how some of the old ones were changed, doesn’t have to be one video, could be a basic video, advanced, scripting, etc. I think this will lower the confusion and be very helpful.
Thanks for reading it all if you did; I know it was a long post, and I hope you support and/or criticize and/or suggest, actually in matter of fact if you have any suggestions for a new Roblox Revised you can suggest it here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=89070821

An addition to this would be "Sort by: Similar" Not sure if this is possible, but it would be useful to have all of the blocks that are similar (IE: transparency level, color, size(?) and/or name)
I haven't played in many a month, and have no idea what the respect system is, but I gather people will rank you on how generally good of a player you are? Do you care to explain it quickly for me? And is it confirmed?
Anyway, if that is how it is, I'd love to have Meshes, GIFs, and animations, so long as you're reputable.
Overall great ideas.

@frostbite: Sounds interesting but very difficult to pull off. The respect system is an idea John has been throwing around where you gain respect by models and comments, etc. I think it is user ran, he hasn't explained in much detail. But if you have little respect (negative?) you lose privileges like commenting and making models/etc. and if you have more respect you gain more privileges. Also thanks.

The respect system, I personally hate it and its a terrible idea.
All the other ones are very great ideas! |

But seriously I hate the new respect system idea. Disabling the ability to make models and to comment is like giving some free OBC Life with 4B+ robux, then take it away when he/she isn't looking. John Shedletsky, what were you doing when you came up with that idea. I make models ALL THE TIME. Taking that away is just plain UNFAIR. Seriously, the respect system is LITERALLY going to ruin ROBLOX PERMANENTLY!!!!!!!! |

You won't be able to make models and comment if your respect is low.

leaderboard idea - Every game that has ever used leaderstats has done them the old way. Changing it, even to make it more user-friendly, is simply not an option because it would break hundreds of games.
ordering children - Support
respect privledges - agreed with everything, but two inappropriate uploads should remove a lot of rep from the account and bar them from privledges for a period of time
adding sounds to the toolbox - Most users don't know how to use sounds. This would be better left undone.
PBS Studio - I believe they're working on this
Studio video tutorial - at the wiki, we're trying to come up with a good way to teach people. I think this is a good idea and a video tutorial just might appear

For the Personal Server idea, it sound a lot like how Google Docs (now Google Drive) works. |

@geedi; how do you know if it's rubbish if you never read it? I worked really hard on this and I would apreciate it if you actually read it before rating it -_-
@Areceusinator; sorry if I got that wrong, also I honestly don't know how I overlooked such a simple problem (leaderboard) thanks for pointing that out. Also it would be awesome to see a video tutorial on the wiki. |

Respect system? That is idiotic. Not being able ti make models? Hahahaha no way kid, what were you smoking when you came up with that idea. People make models all the time, every day don't give admins ideas on how to ruin roblox. |

@Tesuro: What to give a reason why not?
@gaurdedfreerealms2: What's up with people and bashing on the respect system, it's as if they skimmed all the details, say "not able to make models" and raiged. No it's not that way at all if people LOSE ENOUGH respect they won't be able to make models. Seriously, also I'm pretty sure you have no right to call me a kid you obnoxious idiot because even if you were older than me (which I doubt) you don't act like it so shut up.
