I apologize for any confusion my previous messages may have caused. If you need anything else, please let me know. I’m committed to being more transparent and ethical. Let me know if you have anymore suggestions for what I edit the post to.

#150

Going to be honest. You’re talking like a robot. You say nothing but apologies regarding ethics. All I’m showing you is stuff you’ve made in the past. No backup whatsoever, you spread misinformation, and do nothing about it?

I’m sorry if the way I’m talking is making you uncomfortable, and I want to emphasize that that is not my goal. As a regular, it is my responsibility to uphold a constructive, professional, and transparent atmosphere. Remember that reaching out to me is always okay and I hope you can understand why I have adopted this communication style.

#152

I understand that, but as a regular on devforum, you’re supposed to engage in meaningful conversations. All you do is respond with the same thing, but reworded each time. Where is the meaningfulness in that?

#153

idk how to use anchor points so i stick with just making the game for pc only lol

#154

You have stated that I have done nothing about my previous actions.

I have made some changes to the post, but there is not much else I can do. I would love to hear your suggestions for what else I can do. To assist you, I recommend suggestions on aspects such as areas where you believe I have not adequately addressed the topic in relation to the issues you raised.

#155

So you just rebranded AutoScale as a different plugin? All of your responses are just AI too.

I would like to clarify 2 important things regarding your response to stop any confusion or misinformation from spreading:

  1. This plugin uses the code of autoscale in a unique way. The original functionality of AutoScale Lite has been entirely replaced. For this reason, Scalar Converter is unique even when sharing AutoScale Lite’s trusted library.

  2. My responses can seem unorthodox and strange, and that’s okay. To clarify, I am not using AI. As a regular, it is my responsibility to create a constructive and respectful environment, especially in one of my own posts. Based on my previous behavior, it has further emphasized the need for the approach I am taking.

Here I can outline the unique ways which my plugin works:

  1. Automatic conversion - My plugin automatically converts GUI from the default of offset to scale. As mentioned, this plugin is for “scale lovers.”

  2. Bulk conversion in textscaled, size, and position by clicking the included buttons in the plugin.

I offer this plugin completely free, and I’m interested in any feedback or requests. Thank you for engaging with my post and I’m happy to have freed up this confusion.

#157

So basically it has only 2 things going for it, and one I (and most others) would probably just disable. Auto conversion just seems annoying, and bulk conversion is a good idea I guess, but really when would anyone use this.

To me in my opinion (especially based on your history and blatantly just copying AutoScale’s post) you just took AutoScale’s code, slapped a couple more lines of code on there and called it a day. All that is just my opinion.

#158

I understand your sentiment on this product and I can see where you’re coming from. As stated in the post, the target audience is mainly individuals who like using scale. If you find having your GUI automatically converted to scale as annoying, thats okay, and many others agree with you.

If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the product to have a better experience with you, please let me know. I’m grateful for your response and its interesting to hear your perspective on my plugin.

#159

So I’ll make a bold/hard claim here. This guy clearly is a plagiarist. There is a reason why he uploads it for free on an alt account. Indeed to get views for his other plugins. Why upload it on an alt? Because he doesn’t want to risk his main by uploading the plugin.

How convenient that after being called out for your review the positive reviews got extra marks for being helpful out of nowhere. And another positive review popped up by someone with ‘Alt’ * in the name. And how convenient that this ‘alt’ has the same games favorited which are made by the uploader of the plugin.

Can’t believe that with all the moderations they let this slide. I’ll call it out for what it is. You are stealing earnings from another dev by selling their own code of their free version and adding the auto feature of their premium version and handing it out for free. As if it wasn’t obvious enough from the blatent copying of things like the logo/banner, we then have reviews such as “free autoscale premium :money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face:”

  • The user is owner of a group with krimson being the co-owner. Either his own alt or buddy leaving a review and instantly getting ‘4 helpfuls’ :')

Very well said. I think at a certain point after being called out and rebranding, OP stopped trying to make this a resource and instead just tried to save face by making a plugin that could be plausibly passed as something at least one person could find useful.

I don’t see why you’d need the functionality to convert everything to scale when this plugin does it for you? Also, having a feature that converts everything to offset also just seems antithetical and was only added so it could be listed as a distinction from AutoScale.

Personally, I never in all my years on this platform have ever had a moment where I needed to blindly mass convert everything in my game to scale. The beauty of AutoScale is that you, the developer, control what exactly is converted. If you need to mass convert, just use AutoScale lite and select all elements that you need to scale by using the explorer’s search filtering.

Also I think it’s funny that OP made a development discussion post a few days ago where he was outraged that Microsoft Copilot stole his code, but then he himself turns around and steals another developer’s code. As @OneEDM said before, just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s open source.

Please do better.

I also find it ironic that he edited in the quote above. Yet then a new review pops up and they all get just enough ‘helpful’ marks to be brought up to the top of the reviews page. And the reviews are by accounts related to him in one way or another :smiley:

I understand the confusion and I will clear it up. This account is not an alt account, this is my main account. For example, after checking the join dates of KrimsonWoIf and AverageRobloxDev2 on Roblox, we can see the following:

KrimsonWoIf joined: 12/17/2018
AverageRobloxDev2: 5/30/2023

As you can see, the account I am speaking to you on right now is actually my main account, while my developer account is the alternative one. Let me outline how it works:

  • main account - plays games, no development, stores in-game data and devforum information

  • developer account - strictly for development. If a game or asset gets moderated my main account doesnt lose in game/devforum progress

I hope I was able to clear everything up! Let me know if you have anymore concerns.

This message also pertains to @ellienonekomimi

#163

I understand where you’re coming from and I hear your concerns regarding my mass conversion shortcut buttons.

  1. I would like to emphasize that these buttons are simply shortcuts and not the main use of the plugin.
  2. The main purpose of the plugin is to automatically convert added GUI to scale rather than the default of offset.

As stated, this plugin is for scale lovers, and may not appeal to everyone. If there is anything else you need clarification on, let me know!

#164

Why didn’t you create the thread on the ‘developer account’?
And so you basically admit to placing a fake review on your own plugin using your main?

All of the people who voted positively are related to you. Yet you supposedly apologize for the ‘unethical practices’.

Note to others that the fake reviews were placed after the ‘Fake Reviews’ acknowledgement in the main post

#165

So in short: The plugin is AutoScale Lite’s stolen code + the auto ‘size in scale by default’ feature of AutoScale premium added for free?
