Whilst I understand that bad actors exist, using that reasoning, and therefore not allowing developers to use this feature, is holding Roblox back as a whole.
Here are some ideas:
- Roblox tailored pop-up/ui that protects the user from ill-intent whilst letting developers do things.
a. Example of this: Roblox allows developers to use that photo module. This prompts the player with UI to take a picture. Whilst developers cannot force a screenshot, then can prompt a user with a Roblox-made pop-up/module: New Selfie Mode Developer Module
b. We could have a pop-up that asks the player if they wish to go into Fullscreen. “Are you sure blah blah blah?”
- Give certain developers who can be trusted more features such as Fullscreen toggle access.
a. This is the less favorable idea. I’ve been researching and thinking about this engineering problem regarding Roblox and locked features since I joined. We have ways to see if people are who they say they are. Developers who would then use these features in a bad way can be dealt with accordingly with the reporting/moderation system.
b. There can be compromise. People are seemingly afraid of change, but it needs to happen.
No, I don’t think it would. The default would be as it is now. It would be an entirely optional thing.
I’ve been going through the arduous effort of remaking the Roblox menu myself, I know how annoying it is as of current with the goal of total functionality. Community resources can be made to make this theoretical process, that is optional, easier for other devs.
For the sound settings, I am well aware of sound groups. In fact, I’m using them currently in many of my projects. Developers can’t touch MasterVolume, but it’s not needed as we have alternatives. Audio settings are not graphical/display settings however so I feel that to be irrelevant in this case.
I’m willing to spend as much time as it takes to find solutions to different engineering problems. I know we could find a solution that isn’t just blocking developers from using the feature. What we have now is holding all developers, and by extension Roblox, back.
