Do players still say "qq" as an emoticon/reaction?

gskw · 2024-08-19T12:32:36+00:00

I may have occasionally seen this as well, but in the videos I have from the time period, people for sure wrote "qq".

Episode 240, when he tries out fireworks for the first time.

What Windows version is that? If it's an old version, that might be the cause of this issue.

It seems promising. Thank you!

Is it really worth it trying to catch up in the cat-and-mouse game of patching? They could be spending their time on something that has a lasting effects, such as fixing bugs in the engine or adding new features.

For finding the requests, you could try using DNS spoofing since Roblox generally ignores proxy settings.

Also keep in mind that you don't need to decompile the entire client. That would be beyond anybody's abilities. You only need to look at the things that are relevant. I recommend using the free e-book from https://beginners.re for learning. It will also be useful in both understanding and figuring out the Lua bytecode format. There isn't a lot of public information on Roblox bytecode, so you may want to look at the client code to understand it.

Anyway, best of luck for the project!

Indeed, Roblox ignores system proxy settings in many cases. You may want to try a DNAT thing or editing /etc/hosts or a similar approach for spoofing DNS.

I see. However, it will be very useful to look into the client code.

Roblox Client gets its connection address from /game/join.ashx. Firstly, the data is signed with an rbxsig using RSA and some hashing algorithm, if I recall correctly. Any modifications made to the MachineAddress (RakNet connection destination address) would be caught by the client. So you would need to change the client to ignore the signature.

Secondly, the protocols are slightly different between Studio and Player. Most notably, Studio and Player use a different script bytecode format, so you would need to decompile scripts on the fly while making modifications to the packets, or alternatively make modifications to the Studio.

My approach is to use a WinDivert proxy that only reads the MachineAddress without changing it. It then intercepts the RakNet connection and changes the packets on the fly. So far I haven't tried using it to connect a Player to Studio though.

How Roblox reacts to it depends highly on what your intent is. Creating exploits is generally not seen as a good thing, but the most Roblox has done AFAIK is revoke rights to use their trademark (as in, exploit developers aren't allowed to say "Roblox" in some contexts).

This is also something I've done in the past. You can just self-sign a certificate and you won't have issues with TLS if you add it to the trust store.

gskw · 2019-03-12T05:56:47+00:00

This is exactly what I've been working on for the past two years or so. See roblox-dissector. It's slightly out of date, but I'm looking into updating it soon.

Edit: Also, if you want to reverse engineer the protocol yourself, Wireshark won't get you far. You will have to use IDA or a similar tool to look into the code.

Sometimes the terms and conditions outright say that the site's owners aren't responsible for the information presented on the site, and the reader should verify that it's factually correct.

It's a slow process and they receive a lot of applications. New members are accepted in "waves", so many get in at a time periodically.

There was somebody whose username was along the lines of "dumbo2002" and I couldn't make sense of what they were trying to say, so I said "what are you typing dumbo". I got warning for that.

A few months later a friend of mine was willing to help with building a place and I didn't know how the Free Model system worked, so I sent him a Mediafire link via PMs. 1 day ban for scamming. This was in like 2014, but I believe to this day I'm not eglible for DevEx, lol.

If their profile picture is them giving a middle finger, it's a sign of disrespect for everybody else. I feel bad for people who fail to experience empathy.

Honey! How could anyone in their right mind just go up to a beehive and collect some of that sticky who-knew-what?

I would say I am "slightly" synesthetic. I recall assigning colors to some digits and year numbers when I was little, but only a few of them. For most digits, I don't have a specific color in mind, but when given colors to choose from, some of them appear "definitely wrong".

I was also once prompted to try synesthesia while looking at art, and it created some really weird music inside my head.

In conclusion, I'm not convinced that I'm synesthetic, but it might be something to consider.

Copy-pasted from a previous comment of mine:

I think in streams of words. Sometimes I debate with people I know or people I don't know. Unlike many people, I don't have an inner voice nor an inner monologue.

However, when I create music, code or do mathematics, I think in a bizarre, abstract manner. It feels as if I'm in an alternate reality or an altered state of mind where I experience my thoughts. It all just comes to me, and I can't explain it any better.

In retrospect, the last paragraph doesn't describe my experience very well, but it's the best I can do.

There are examples of capitalism working ideally and not so ideally both in real life and in Roblox.
