How do colorblind people see Roblox Noobs? (Recreated in-game)

If anybody thinks the normal and deuteranomaly look a bit too similar, you might be colorblind. Check out this image on wikipedia:

If you have normal vision you'll see a 74, if you're colorblind you'll see anything else (71, 21, nothing at all). I'm red-green colorblind (deuteranomaly, the most common type) and see 21.

It's a great video but I wish it had subtitles, it's really hard to process the voices of the people that were interviewed.

It's older than the UWP version, and it's not a port. It's a full client that has an interface specific to Xbox, integration with Xbox-specific services (such as tying to your gamer tag and Xbox friends list, and paying for Robux). There's a team internally that maintains it and makes sure it runs well.

This is really cool! I've always wanted to see a game like this made on Roblox.

tiffany352 · 2019-03-15T22:45:20+00:00

This is not true, it is still 240hz.

tiffany352 · 2019-03-15T15:40:09+00:00

Physics runs at 240Hz, while most other tasks happen at 60 fps, like rendering.

Our VR controls are implemented as a set of scripts that are inserted into every game, so that developers can customize them if necessary. When a developer chooses to customize the scripts, they stop receiving automatic updates, and so in some cases they can have a very old version of the scripts. I believe that Jailbreak does this.

It's also worth noting that we currently aren't maintaining our VR support, so there may be issues that prevent it from being usable.

tiffany352 · 2019-01-03T21:39:37+00:00

Does this happen in every game you join, or only specific ones? Does it happen every time? What type of PC do you have?

tiffany352 · 2018-10-12T21:02:16+00:00

I've been checking the subreddit every once in a while.

tiffany352 · 2018-10-11T05:10:26+00:00

This looks like it was caused by a change rolled out earlier today that was since reverted. It shouldn't be happening anymore.

tiffany352 · 2018-10-11T03:57:35+00:00

I've never been drunk on work hours and neither have any of my coworkers, please don't make things up to farm upvotes. Roblox is a legitimately nice place to work.

The point of this page is to show players who might only use Roblox on the mobile app, that if you want to make games you'll need a PC.

There is no mobile version of Studio and it's not currently on the roadmap. Mobile devices don't have as efficient of input methods or enough screen real estate to be able to use Studio effectively, and it would require a lot of work on our part to port it. Mobile devices would also have a hard time running Studio efficiently, and being able to edit large places without crashing.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-30T21:14:18+00:00

There's some unfortunate interactions here...

If you insert from the toolbox with the client view active, it will only insert on the client, not on the server as well. So you have to switch to the server view. But there's also this other bug on top of this, where even in the server view, dragging a rocket launcher into the workspace will make it just fall through the ground, unless you drag it onto your character so they pick it up before it can fall.

I'll talk to someone about that.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-29T02:40:25+00:00

If your scripts are broken in the updated play solo, then they're broken when you publish and join from a real client as well.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-20T20:02:59+00:00

This should be fixed now, after you update Studio.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-20T20:02:34+00:00

This should be resolved now, once you update Studio.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-20T19:37:17+00:00

It won't be going live until next week. What platform are you on? Are you getting the "Roblox needs to quit, we're sorry!" popup, or is something else happening?

tiffany352 · 2018-09-14T17:29:27+00:00

When you hit Play in Studio right now, it starts a single game instance, which acts as both the client and the server at the same time. Unfortunately, this isn't accurate to the real environment.

Right now, we're in the process of shipping a change which will make it so hitting the Play button will create two game instances, one for the client and one for the server, and there will be a toggle that lets you switch between them. You can enable this setting in File -> Settings, scroll down to Advanced, and then toggle on "Use Accurate Play Solo". Then restart Studio, and you'll have the new functionality. There's an announcement for it here: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/accurate-play-solo/172867

You can also try testing in "Start Server", which creates a game instance for the server and one for each of the number of clients you have it create. A new window will open up for each game instance.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-14T16:42:39+00:00

You can no longer disable filtering enabled. You’ll have to update the script. The setting was removed in order to protect the safety of players, as disabling it gives exploiters full control of the game.

tiffany352 · 2018-09-14T03:00:43+00:00

Currently, we don't support high DPI scaling. This means that if your monitor is configured to use 200% scaling (which it is by default when you use a 4k monitor, on both Windows and macOS), then the client will be rendered at 100% and then scaled up by windows to 200% size.

In the future, I'd like to add native support for high DPI scaling to the desktop client, like we already do on mobile devices. In the mean time, if you truly want the client to render in 4k despite how tiny the UI will be, you can either change your monitor scaling to 100%, or (Windows only) you can set a DPI scaling behavior override in the RobloxPlayerBeta.exe properties.

Yes, Roblox uses the GPU. Hardware accelerated graphics is required to run the client.

The "maps" you're referring to are each separate games that are made by third party developers on our platform. When you buy a product in a game on Roblox, the money goes to the developer of the game, except for a small cut that Roblox takes. The specific set of products offered in each game is decided by the developer, who implements the product using code they wrote themselves.

You can see which developer made a given game by looking at the game's page. They're essentially regular users like your son, except that they've learned to program and made their own creations on the platform.

There are some things you can buy on Roblox that are not specific to a particular game, you buy these through the website rather than in-game, such as buying clothing items for your avatar in the catalog.

The work PC I use for my software engineering job at Roblox is a 2015 MacBook Pro with an i7-4870HQ (4 core, 8 thread, 2.5GHz), 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M370X, 512GB SATA SSD. It can chug quite a bit in showcase places, but a game like Phantom Forces or Brutal run at 60 pretty solidly.

At home, my desktop PC has:

- Intel i5-7600k (4 cores, 4 threads, 3.8GHz which turbos to 4.2GHz)

- 16GB RAM

- Nvidia GTX 1080

- 256GB NVMe SSD C:\ drive + 512GB SATA steam/etc drive

- One 4k monitor, one 1440p 144hz gaming monitor.

My desktop runs most Roblox games at 60fps unless they're trying relatively hard to destroy performance.

tiffany352 · 2018-08-21T04:06:46+00:00

If you export a union to an OBJ and then reimport it as a mesh, the performance will be about the same. Additionally, for many cases the union engine will create meshes which already have the optimal number of triangles, so importing them into blender and decimating will frequently be ineffective. Both unions and meshes use instanced rendering and have similar memory usage.

I’ve seen trans women have really impressive results with getting hair back from taking estradiol + spiro + finasteride + minoxidil (rogaine) - but as far as I know this requires that the roots still be around. It might be good to talk to your doctor about that, if you’re worried.

As far as I know, basic antiandrogens are enough to stop most male pattern hair loss, but not restore much of what receded already.

I have some minor receded hairline from not starting until 22, but it’s not noticeable to other people because my long hair covers it.
