PlayerList Updates

Really hope there will be a way to tell if the player list is open or not or that they’ll open the player list for modifications like they did with the chat scripts.

I have no choice but to have the gui buttons in place floating in the middle of nowhere when someone uses ‘tab’ and closes the player list or to make my own player list that has reduced functionality compared to the features restricted to CoreScripts.

I really hope at some point we get the feature of seeing your own leaderstats on top of the Playerlist. I really do miss that feature, navigating through large playerlists is not that easy.

The new player list is absolutely repulsive. The little tab that shows up whenever you click on someone’s name is ENORMOUS and the player list in general is just too big and doesn’t match with anything.

ROBLOX are in the phase of modernising there UI they are doing the Topbar and Menu when they can

I hope the UI’s get more modernized and efficient. Looking forward!

Hello, we have a few more updates to the PlayerList.

  1. If you have edit access to a game, you will now have the developer icon appear next to your name in the PlayerList Leaderboards. This is a nice update for developers with group games. Thanks to TheGamer101 for this change!

  2. We no longer show follow status. We did this to reduce the network calls that are made as we are seeing record highs in the number of concurrent players on the platform. We are not sure when/if we will re-enable this functionality.

We are still looking at additional improvements we can make going forward, including mobile support.

We are looking at this - agree this would be a good addition.

Mobile is a design challenge due to The limited screen size, especially in portrait mode. We are working on a design for this. Agree we need to bring this feature to mobile phones.

The hammer icon for all of the creators of a game is a really great addition for me, because I do a lot of collaborations with my friends

Love the new hammer icon addition, but it’s causing me some issues…

My alt has game editing access for the sole purpose of using the dev console. I play on it when I just want to play my game normally, without being noticed by others. Now that the hammer appears for ALL developers, I have to sacrifice the dev console in order to just play normally again.

I’d suggest adding who gets the hammer based on a group role or individual users.

Get another alt, I don’t think they’d change the way it works just because you want to not be noticed. lol.
All members in team create are developers. So not having the hammer symbol wouldn’t be right.

Makes sense. Maybe it should be a setting to turn it on or off. :thinking:

GUYS! I found a setting to turn it off, but it requires some pretty advanced FFlag magic

Am I allowed to link the tweet where I explained how to do it?

Just an FYI – you probably shouldn’t.

The flags will also be removed in a few weeks as rollout is 200%, meaning it’ll only make it more of a shock to you.

I think you should make the hammer icon yellow so it can sort of pop like the old menu’s developer icon did.

+1 to this. I’d like to be able to view the Server Logs without getting noticed in game. A role that can view the logs but doesn’t have the Creator icon would be great. A way to turn off the Creator icon completely would be even better.

I think even mobile users wouldn’t mind giving up a single leaderboard row if it means they can consistently see their own stats at the top. Roblox design decisions seem to try to find a balance between being global but also a powerful platform.

The playerlist should automatically scroll to your name every time someone joins/leave the game, joins a team, etc.

I think that would become too distracting in popular games which use the standard CoreGUIs - reinstating some kind of row at the top for displaying a user’s own statistics would be a far more efficient method of making them clearer.
